    King Charles has reportedly decided not to remove Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal titles as he does not want them to play “victim” anymore.

    According to royal author and expert, Tom Quinn, the monarch had “have had lengthy discussions about stripping Meghan and Harry of their royal titles” with Prince William.

    Now, another royal commentator and expert, Ingrid Seward, has claimed that Harry and Meghan’s Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles are “here to stay.”

    “I don’t think anything will happen to the titles,” she told The Royal Beat, adding that it would look “unkind and unnecessary” on the Royal family’s part if they take away the titles from the “rebellious” royals.

    She went on to reveal that the Royal family has come up with a different approach to deal with the California-based royals.

    “I think the best thing is to leave them, ignore them, and let them get on with it – which is really what the Palace and the Royal Family are doing,” Seward said.

    Prince Harry leaving Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in isolation, away from their other family.

    Everything has been revealed by royal expert and commentator Kinsey Schofield.

    She weighed in on everything during one of her own shows called Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered.

    During that chat she accused Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of keeping Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet inside an isolated lifestyle.

    In her YouTube video she was quoted addressing the impact of such isolation.

    She also warned it could damage relationships between them their cousins too, “Especially for their children because they’re living such an isolated life.”

    Even Perez Hilton chimed in at this point and admitted “They have a large family and they’re not getting to spend any time with them.”

    “And not even their extended family, [but] their immediate family — grandpa, and Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.”

    Later on into the chat she also noted the importance of such a decision, even when its ‘difficult’ because “you make it work. That’s family.”

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have suffered a major setback after it was revealed that their charity Archewell has been ruled ‘delinquent’.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have broken their silence after it came to light their charitable foundation, Archewell, has been named “delinquent”.

    The charity – where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex work just “one hour per week”, according to official documents, has been sent a brutal letter from California’s state attorney, who warned them that Archewell is currently “not in good standing”.

    But in the couple’s first official statement following their three-day tour of Nigeria, the Sussex’s have failed to mention anything about the scandal, instead divulging more details of their trip.

    A note, released on the Sussex’s official website, read: “The Duke and Duchess would like to extend their deepest gratitude to all the event organizers, military officials and the whole Nigerian community for their tremendous hospitality and the first of many memorable trips.”

    Harry and Meghan have not yet released a statement on Archewell’s blunder

    As a result of Archewell’s apparent failure to pay required fees, the organisation has temporarily been banned from collecting and distributing charitable funds.

    The letter by the attorney general read: “An organisation that is listed as delinquent is not in good standing and is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds.

    “The organisation may also be subject to penalties, and its registration may be suspended or revoked by the Registry.”

    However, a source told the Express that charity bosses did in fact file their paperwork on time – and that the issue will hopefully be resolved in the coming days.

    Archewell now has to submit records to show why its payment is late and pay late fees.

    Harry and Meghan’s foundation has filed for an extension – but California’s official registry continued to list Archewell as delinquent, according to reports in the US.

    During Harry and Meghan’s trip to Nigeria, the Duchess revealed rare details about their children Prince Archie, five, and two-year-old Princess Lilibet.

    Despite spending the US version of Mother’s Day thousands of miles away from her children, she appeared to keep the youngster close in their thoughts, as she revealed rare details about them to a group of scholchildren during the visit.

    In a sweet four-word statement, she admitted: “I’m missing my babies.”

    She told the crowds: “It feels appropriate that although of course we are missing our children, I’m missing my babies, it feels very appropriate to be in the motherland and amongst family.”

  • EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry’s uncle still sees Royal Family ‘as the enemy’ and thinks Diana’s son was ‘hard done by’

    EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry’s uncle still sees Royal Family ‘as the enemy’ and thinks Diana’s son was ‘hard done by’

    Earl Charles Spencer turned up to support his nephew Prince Harry at St Paul’s Cathedral last night as they attended a special service to celebrate the Invictus Games

    Prince Harry may not have had his father or brother by his side at St Paul’s Cathedral, but his uncle Earl Charles Spencer turned up to show his solidarity.

    The pair joined forces for a special service to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. It was speculated Harry would have to face the event alone, as the Royal Family decided not to attend the event.

    Luckily, Earl Spencer and Lady Jane Fellowes, both siblings of the late Princess Diana, turned up to support Harry. Royal expert Tom Quinn believes the show of solidarity “speaks volumes about where their loyalties lie”.

    Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, he said: “Harry may have cut a lonely figure at St Pauls, but he did have one other family supporting him – his mother’s family. Diana’s sister Lady Jane Fellowes was there as well as her brother, Earl Spencer

    “The Spencer family have always felt uncomfortable with the Royal Family after the death of Harry and William’s mother. Earl Spencer, Diana’s brother, was openly critical of the way the Royal Family treated his sister and of course that criticism largely centred on Prince Charles (as he then was).”

    Princess Diana sadly died in August 1997 in a fatal car crash in Paris. Tom said there is “still a lot of bitterness around” and said the Spencers’ decision to support Harry was significant.

    The expert told us: “The fact that the Spencers were out in force for Harry on this visit speaks volumes about where their loyalties lie. Like Harry, the Spencers still see the Royal Family, to some extent, as the enemy.

    “If anyone is taking sides, the Spencers will always take sides with Harry simply because they feel he was hard done by and Harry hugely appreciates their support.”

    While Earl Charles Spencer and Lady Jane Fellowes attended the Invictus Games service, Harry was alone as he walked up the steps to the entrance of the cathedral. As the event took place, King Charles was flanked by a huge contingent of royals in a show of unity at this afternoon’s Buckingham Palace garden party, which took place just two miles away.

    The future Duchess of Westminster remains relatively low-key but she is set to marry one of the richest men in the country next month.

    The future Duchess of Westminster, Olivia Henson, has drawn comparisons with a young Kate, Princess of Wales for her long brown hair, slim frame, and stylish attire.

    Prince William Wedding Photo - Prince William And Catherine Middleton ...

    Her wedding next month at Chester Cathedral will see her marry Hugh Grosvenor, who was once the 11th richest person in the UK according to The Times’ Rich List 2023.

    Hugh Grosvenor was long considered to be Britain’s most eligible bachelor and inherited his title and the Grosvenor Estate in 2016 after his father died. His estates are in the wealthy London neighbourhoods of Belgravia and Mayfair, and the ancestral home in Cheshire, Eaton Hall.

    The pair will be tying the knot on June 7 in Chester where they plan to live as a married couple. Grosvenor’s status as King Charles’ godson and godfather to a young Prince George means that it’ll be a royal affair, with multiple senior members of the family expected to attend.

    At just 33 years old, he is the richest person under 35 in the UK, worth £9.878billion, according to The Times.

    Hugh’s father, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, the 6th Duke and a close friend of the Queen and then-Prince Charles, was 64 when he died of a heart attack on August 9, 2016. At the time, he was the 114th wealthiest person in the world, with a fortune of around £9billion, according to Forbes. He was laid to rest in the Grosvenor family plot at the Old Churchyard of St. Mary’s Church in Eccleston.

    Much of the family’s fortune comes from a 17th-century dowry given to Sir Thomas Grosvenor, which included 500 acres of land just outside of London.

    Bride to be, Olivia Henson, 31, studied at Marlborough College, just like the Princess of Wales, and is of aristocracy having descended from the Hoare banking family, the Marquesses of Bristol and the Dukes of Rutland as reported in the Telegraph.

    Ms Henson met Grosvenor, who is also known as “Hughie”, in October 2021 through mutual friends.

    The June 7 wedding will be held in Chester cathedral

    When Ms Henson and Hugh released their official engagement photo in April last year which was taken in the grounds of his family home of Eaton Hall in Cheshire – eyebrows were raised at how casual it the couple appeared.

    According to the Telegraph, one critic said that Henson hadn’t brushed her hair and appeared to be wearing pyjamas. However, a royal expert, Victoria Murphy, stated it showed the couple’s low-maintenance, relaxed approach, instead.

    Their wedding next month will be held at Chester Cathedral, with a reception at Eaton Hall. No other details have been revealed as of yet, but it appears it will be a low-key and sustainable event.

    It is reported the wedding, will not be attended by the California-based Duke and Duchess of Sussex, despite Hugh being a personal friend of Harry’s. Given that fact, and the ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the British Royals, one source told Page Six at the start of last month claimed Harry called Hugh to tell him it would be “too awkward” for them to be there.

  • Kate Middleton’s instructions from William uncovered by lip reader after tense event

    Kate Middleton’s instructions from William uncovered by lip reader after tense event

    One of the few times in recent years that the Prince and Princess of Wales have come face-to-face with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was a special service honouring the late Queen in what appeared to be a tense event

    In recent years there’s been just a handful of royal events that have been attended by both Prince William and Prince Harry as sightings of both brothers together have been rare.

    However, almost two years ago in June 2022, the warring brothers managed to put their differences aside to honour their late grandmother the Queen during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations – in what was Harry and wife Meghan’s first public appearance at a royal event since quitting the monarchy.

    Despite coming together at the event, the pair were seated far apart and were not seen chatting or even standing next to each other. The tense service was also attended by William’s wife Kate.

    After the service, the couple were seen chatting on the steps of the cathedral as they waited for their car to take them to the Guildhall for a lunch reception. And a lipreader has revealed what he believes they said during their exchange, which included a clear instruction for Kate from William.

    According to lip reading expert John Cassidy, as they emerged on to the steps, Kate remarked on the service saying: “It went very well, very well” with William replying: “Yes, perfect.” Afterwards, William could be seen waving to the crowd saying hello, and Mr Cassidy says the prince then turned to Kate and said: “Wait for that to move, then we can go.”

    Meanwhile, a body language expert who looked at the couples at the same event believes William gave Harry the “opposite of an acknowledgement” and a “barrier gesture”. Body language expert Judi James told the Mirror that William adopted a “barrier gesture” as he and wife Kate walked past the pew where his brother sat on the way to his seat.

    Judi explained: “Harry looked firmly resigned to the back row here and was not sitting behind his brother as he was for the last service of remembrance. “Harry’s expression did suggest some relief as he joked with Zara as he searched for his car on the way out and he threw a wide, open-mouthed grin in her direction from the pews, but otherwise he fell into a haunted eye expression with some rapid blinking to suggest inner anxiety, leaning in and down to Meghan when she spoke as though keen to get some support.

    “There was the opposite to an acknowledgement from William as he walked past Harry’s row during the parade out of the service. Sucking in his lips and with his chin pulled up in a gesture of resolve he appeared to turn his head in the other direction for a moment, raising his order of service high in a barrier gesture.”

    After the Jubilee in the summer of 2022, William and Harry were forced together just months later after the death of their late grandmother the Queen. They even joined together with their wives Kate and Meghan to carry out a joint walkabout in Windsor to look at floral tributes and greet thousands of wellwishers. But despite the seeming temporary truce, it appears their bond has further deteriorated after Harry and Meghan’s Netflix series and Harry’s controversial memoir Spare.

  • King Charles takes major decisions on Catherine and Harry as more tension grows between them

    King Charles takes major decisions on Catherine and Harry as more tension grows between them

    King Charles takes major decisions on Catherine and Harry as more tension grows between them
    King Charles III has made a significant decision to strengthen his rule amid his ongoing health battle.

    The 75-year-old monarch, who has recently returned to public duties after getting the green light from his medical team, surprised fans with a major announcement.

    The King has announced he will hold his first investiture ceremony since being diagnosed with cancer, honoring luminaries such as the Archbishop of Canterbury and Lady Jilly Cooper next week.

    This announcement comes as Harry and Meghan are making headlines for their trip to Nigeria and provides a new update on the King’s health as his doctors have allowed him to undertake the largest indoor engagement at Windsor Castle.

    King Charles still has an unspecified type of cancer and continues to undergo treatment, but he has now been permitted to take on more public-facing duties. Most recently, the King hosted a garden party this week and is hopeful of attending key events like the D-Day commemorations and Trooping the Colour. Queen Camilla has mentioned several times that she has had difficulty holding him back, while the King himself expressed his joy at being “out of my cage” in a recent interview.

    Peter Phillips, the late Queen Elizabeth’s eldest grandchild, revealed the reality of the King’s illness, stating, “I think at last he’s hugely frustrated. He’s frustrated that he can’t get on and do all that he wants to be able to do.” Princess Anne’s son added, “However, he is very pragmatic and understands that there’s a period where he still needs to focus on himself.”

    Prince William has left everyone in shock with his latest post, days after King Charles III moved Prince Harry to tears with a significant decision. The Prince of Wales, who has been appointed to command Harry’s former regiment by King Charles, seemingly attempted to clarify his military service and experience. On Tuesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media accounts shared photos of a young Prince William in military uniform with helicopters, highlighting his commitment and service to the country’s armed forces.

    Prince Harry was reportedly in tears after King Charles gave a new military honor to his eldest son, Prince William, on Tuesday. Buckingham Palace announced that the heir to the throne, William, will be made colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps, despite Prince Harry having served with the unit in Afghanistan. The announcement seemed timed to cause maximum pain for Harry, coming on the same day he returned to London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

    William, however, did not serve directly in the Army Air Corps during his military tenure. Instead, he fulfilled roles as a search and rescue pilot and later as an air ambulance pilot. Buckingham Palace declared that the Prince of Wales would assume leadership of the regiment, marking another blow for Harry during his short visit to the UK. It is worth noting that both royal brothers are trained military pilots, with Harry having served directly in the Army Air Corps during his second deployment in Afghanistan until 2014.

    Prince William just received bad news from Kate Middleton doctor about Brain cancer getting worse

    Prince William on Friday offered a positive evaluation of his better half’s well-being.

    An emergency clinic overseer said in one of the royal couple’s few comments about Kate’s condition since she announced that she was going through therapy for disease.

    William was on a performance visit through Street Mary’s people group clinic on the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago off the Cornish Coast in Southwestern Britain.

    He ventured out there to get things started for another structure that will include long-term treatment beds and a maternity suite.

    I got some information about his better half Kate and he said she’s getting along admirably, much obliged, emergency clinic director Tracy Smith told correspondents. What’s more, I proposed they could jump at the chance to come for a little while and bring the kids.

    The Princess of Wales pulled back from public obligations in the wake of announcing on March 22nd that she had been determined to have an undisclosed type of disease. In a video message, she said she had begun chemotherapy. The news came after King Charles III, her father-in-law, announced his own malignant growth diagnosis. Charles got back to public-facing obligations last week after Buckingham Palace said specialists were encouraged by his progress even as his treatment continues.

    Our columnists will keep on covering the exciting bends and turns during this memorable official political race.

Reporting in this ongoing political environment is an obligation we don’t take lightly, and we thank you for your support.

    Prince William offers an uncommon update on spouse Kate Middleton’s well-being. Kate Middleton reported in Spring she was having therapy after disease was found following stomach surgery she underwent toward the beginning of the year.

    England’s Prince William said on Friday his better half Kate Middleton was getting along admirably in an uncommon public comment about the Princess of Wales as she goes through chemotherapy for cancer. Kate Middleton reported in Spring she was having therapy after malignant growth was found following stomach surgery she underwent toward the beginning of the year.

    She said at the time she was well, but the couple’s office has said they wouldn’t provide regular updates on her well-being and she isn’t due to return to public duties until her doctors say she is well enough to do so. Notwithstanding, asked how his significant other was faring during a visit to a community medical clinic on the Isles of Scilly off the coastline of Cornwall in Southwest Britain, Prince William answered, “She’s getting along admirably, thank you.”

    Yes, the main heir to the throne, who is also the Duke of Cornwall, was on a two-day trip to the district where he saw a site for a new project to tackle homelessness, spent time on a beach with local groups, and visited a community emergency clinic.

  • Catherine RECEIVES BAD NEWS Concerning Their Children As She BATTLES The Next Chemo Treatment

    Catherine RECEIVES BAD NEWS Concerning Their Children As She BATTLES The Next Chemo Treatment

    Catherine RECEIVES BAD NEWS Concerning Their Children As She BATTLES The Next Chemo Treatment

    As Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, faces a challenging battle with cancer, an intimate and emotional struggle unfolds within the walls of Kensington Palace, affecting her three young children.

    With Princess Catherine having completed her first round of chemotherapy, the emotional impact on Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis is profound and multifaceted.

    As the eldest child, nine-year-old Prince George may feel a sense of responsibility and a need to be strong for his younger siblings.

    His understanding of the situation is likely more developed, leading to feelings of anxiety and worry about his mother’s health. George might try to mask his emotions to support his family, potentially feeling the weight of his role as the eldest brother.

    Eight-year-old Princess Charlotte, at a sensitive age, might be experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. She could be more inclined to seek comfort and reassurance from her mother, clinging to her as a way to cope with the uncertainty and changes. Charlotte’s reactions might include sadness, confusion, and a need for constant reassurance from her parents.

    Five-year-old Prince Louis, the youngest of the three, may not fully grasp the severity of the situation but will undoubtedly sense the changes in his family dynamics and his mother’s condition. His reactions might be more immediate and emotional, showing distress or confusion as he tries to understand the new normal.

    William and Catherine’s approach to parenting has always emphasized a balance between normalcy and the reality of their public roles. Now, they face the additional challenge of shielding their children from the constant flow of information and speculation on the internet and social media. Royal correspondent Jenny Bond suggests that the couple’s strategy involves open communication, ensuring their children are informed in an age-appropriate manner and feel supported during this difficult time.

    The royal children are following new routines to support their mother’s recovery. While Catherine may not be attending school runs or public events, she is spending significant time at home, focusing on being a full-time mother. This change allows her to provide a sense of stability and normalcy for George, Charlotte, and Louis, which is crucial for their emotional well-being.

    Public and Private Balance
    Despite the public’s interest and speculation, William and Catherine are determined to maintain a private and supportive environment for their children. Catherine’s research and approach to early childhood development guide their parenting, ensuring that hope and understanding of reality coexist. This method aims to prepare the children to face any eventuality with resilience and unity.

    Positive Signs and Future Outlook
    The family recently celebrated Mother’s Day with a beautiful photograph of Catherine and her children, symbolizing their unity and strength. The princess’s recovery journey is ongoing, but the family’s closeness and support are vital sources of strength for Catherine. The royal couple’s commitment to each other and their children is evident, as they navigate this challenging period with grace and determination.

    While the road ahead remains challenging, the resilience and strength shown by Princess Catherine and her family provide a hopeful outlook. The public’s support and the family’s unity are crucial as they continue to navigate this difficult time. With Prince William taking on more public duties and the children adjusting to new routines, the family is determined to face these challenges together, embodying the strength and unity that define the royal family.

  • Why Princess Eugenie’s kids don’t have any titles – but Beatrice’s daughter does

    Why Princess Eugenie’s kids don’t have any titles – but Beatrice’s daughter does

    Princess Eugenie is a mum to two sons, three-year-old August and Ernest, who turns two today – and even though neither have titles, it seems their cousin Sienna, the daughter of Princess Beatrice does

    Princess Eugenie has reason to celebrate today – that’s because her youngest son Ernest turns a year old today.

    He was born on May 30, 2023, and joined older brother August as the second of Eugenie’s children with husband Jack Brooksbank. It now means that the 34-year-old and her older sister Princess Beatrice are now both busy mums, with Beatrice welcoming daughter Sienna in September 2021.

    Their births over the past two and a half years have shaken up the royal line of succession with Beatrice in ninth place followed by Sienna, Eugenie, August and then Ernest. But ot all of them have titles though, with August and Ernest not having any. But Sienna does hold one – but it’s nothing to do with her royal connections

    It’s because her dad, Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi is actually an Italian count, which means his children also inherit a count or countess title. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Edoardo’s dad, Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, explained: “Edoardo is the only male descendent taking the family into the next generation. He is a count, his wife will be a countess automatically and any of their children will be counts or nobile donna.”

    Neither Beatrice nor Eugenie’s children are entitled to British royal titles as they are not grandchildren of the monarch – King Charles is their great-uncle. Only children of the sovereign, children of the sons of the sovereign and the eldest living son of the Prince of Wales are eligible to be given HRH status and prince and princess titles.

    After Ernest’s arrival one year ago, Eugenie posted two sweet snaps of the newborn – one of him wearing a knitted blue-and-white hat, asleep in a Moses basket, and one of older son August tenderly stroking his brother’s head.

    She wrote: “Jack and I wanted to share the news that we had our little boy, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank on 30th May 2023 at 8.49 weighing 7.1lbs. He is named after his great great great Grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald. Augie is loving being a big brother already.”

    The baby’s great-great-great grandfather George is George V, the grandfather of the late Queen, who was King from May 1910 until his death in December 1936 – who had Ernest as one of his middle names. His first middle name George is in tender tribute to his late grandfather George Brooksbank, Jack’s dad, who sadly died in November 2021 at the age of 72 after being unwell for some time following a battle with Covid.

    Meanwhile, his second middle name Ronnie is in tribute to Ronald Ferguson, the late father of Eugenie’s mum Sarah Ferguson. The former royal polo manager died in 2003 and was dubbed “the galloping major”. Afterwards, Fergie said she cried when Eugenie told her that her newborn baby son would be named after the duchess’s late father.

    Sarah, speaking on her podcast about her new grandchild for the first time, described Ernest as a “seriously beautiful little boy” and said the gesture moved her to tears.
