An incredible video of Prince Harry surfing in California has captured the hearts of Royal Family fans as they believe the Duke of Sussex is living his “California dream life”.

The footage shows the Duke of Sussex concentrating on the waves, holding onto a white surfing board as the instructor shouts “Go!”.

Harry then leaps onto his board and carefully stands up when instructed. He is then met with a few cheers when he gains his balance and holds his hands out to the side.

The prince is then instructed to move his shoulders before words of encouragement are shouted to Harry, who appears to be loving his new sport.

Prince Harry fans have become “obsessed” with Harry’s new surfing skills. On the social media platform X, @PhlyGerl simply wrote: “Prince Harry in America living his California dream life.”

Another said: “Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex surfing and thriving in California.”

Prince Harry was reported to have been surfing at Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch in California with surf coach, Raimana Van Bastolaer.

Another royal fan on social media, exclaimed: “Is there anything this man can’t do? #PrinceHarry is a true Californian now and this is supposed to be the man who’s plotting to come back to the UK?”

One fan exclaimed: “Meghan’s man, aka Prince Harry, is full of surprises! He’s an honorary Californian now.”

Another royal fan was in shock at the sight of the Prince on the California waves: “I can’t believe I wake up to this…Prince Harrysurfing. Man, I mean wow.”

@PinkyVoteBlue added: “It’s official. He’s a Californian.”

On Instagram, surfing coach, @raimanaworld, wrote: “In Tahiti, we still call you Prince Harry but at surfranch, it’s my brother. It was an honor to have you surf with me & @kellyslater @michaelanders_ at @kswaveco.”

Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch describes itself as the “ultimate surf setting” and delivers “unparalleled surf programs, training, and events”.

The website states the waves on the ranch are “human-made” and can be controlled to allow a wave-riding experience for “surfers of all skill levels”.

 

In a historic and dramatic turn of events, Prince William has officially ascended to the British throne, marking the beginning of a new era for the monarchy. However, the most shocking moment came immediately after his coronation, when King William swiftly expelled Queen Camilla from the royal family. In a stunning confrontation, sources close to the palace have reported that William delivered a blunt and emotionally charged statement to Camilla, saying, “You are not my mother.”

This unexpected decision has ignited widespread debate and intense speculation about the future of the royal family. Camilla, who was married to William’s father, King Charles III, and served as Queen Consort until William’s rise to the throne, has long been a controversial figure within the royal fold. Her role in the royal family, particularly following her marriage to Charles after the death of Princess Diana, has been the subject of scrutiny, and William’s recent actions have brought these tensions into the spotlight.

The Legacy of Princess Diana and Its Impact on William’s Decision
At the heart of this unprecedented move appears to be William’s enduring loyalty to his late mother, Princess Diana. Known for his deep affection and respect for Diana’s legacy, William has often spoken about the profound impact her death had on him and his younger brother, Prince Harry. Diana’s tragic passing in 1997 left an indelible mark on the royal family, and for years, the relationship between her sons and Camilla remained strained.

For many royal observers, William’s decision to remove Camilla from the royal family speaks to a long-standing tension that was never fully resolved. While King Charles III and Camilla worked to solidify their place within the monarchy, it was clear that the wounds from the past still lingered, particularly in the hearts of Diana’s children. William’s declaration, “You are not my mother,” is a clear indication that these emotions have resurfaced in a powerful way, driving his immediate actions as King.

A Royal Power Move or a Personal Statement?
William’s ascension to the throne was always expected to bring about change, but few could have predicted such a decisive move against Camilla so early in his reign. Some see this as a strategic move to distance the royal family from its more controversial figures, while others interpret it as a deeply personal act—an attempt by William to honor the memory of his mother and right the wrongs he believes were done to her during her life.

As the news broke, public reaction has been mixed. Supporters of Diana have praised William’s boldness, seeing it as a long-overdue act of justice for the late princess. On social media, many have expressed solidarity with William, echoing the sentiment that his loyalty to his mother’s memory is commendable. On the other hand, critics argue that this move could create divisions within the royal family, potentially destabilizing the monarchy at a time when unity is most needed.

The Future of the Monarchy in Question
With Camilla’s removal from the royal family, the future of the British monarchy enters uncharted waters. What will this mean for King William’s reign? Will this decision strengthen the monarchy’s ties with the public, or will it further fuel the controversies surrounding the royal family?

Many are now questioning what this means for other members of the royal family, particularly Prince Harry, whose relationship with William has been strained in recent years. Could William’s actions serve as a signal to Harry that the new King is determined to break with the past and forge a new path? Or will this latest development drive an even deeper wedge between the brothers?

As the dust settles and more details emerge, one thing is clear: William’s reign is already proving to be unlike any other in recent memory. By starting his time as King with such a bold and controversial decision, he has set the tone for what could be a transformative chapter in the history of the British monarchy.

While the rest of the cast will be reminiscing and reliving their Suits memories, Meghan won’t be there. What could have led to this exclusion? Is there drama brewing, or is Meghan being kept at a distance for other reasons?

Sarah Rafferty Excludes Meghan Markle from Suits Podcast Reunion: ‘You’re Not Invited’

In a surprising twist that’s left both fans and the media buzzing, Suits star Sarah Rafferty has reportedly excluded Meghan Markle from the highly anticipated podcast reunion celebrating the hit legal drama. While the rest of the cast is set to gather and share behind-the-scenes stories, Meghan—who played the fan-favorite character Rachel Zane—won’t be making an appearance.

The absence is raising eyebrows, especially since Meghan was once an integral part of the Suits family. However, Rafferty’s decision to leave the Duchess of Sussex off the guest list has ignited speculation about what might be happening behind the scenes. Was this a case of professional distance, or is there more to the story?

Fans of Suits are particularly puzzled given how closely the cast bonded during the show’s nine-season run. Rafferty, known for her portrayal of Donna Paulsen, has remained tight-lipped about the specifics, but insiders suggest that Meghan’s post-royal lifestyle may have complicated things. Could her busy schedule or her desire to stay out of the Hollywood spotlight be factors? Or is this exclusion a sign of tension between the former co-stars?

What’s clear is that Rafferty’s decision has set off a flurry of rumors. While some believe the Duchess simply chose not to participate, others see this as a subtle message that Meghan’s chapter in the Suits world has officially closed. As fans eagerly await the podcast release, the spotlight remains on what could have been an exciting reunion—if only Meghan had been invited.

With no public statement from Meghan or her team, the reason behind this exclusion remains shrouded in mystery. But one thing’s for sure—Meghan’s absence from the Suits podcast has everyone talking.

 

In a shocking turn of events, Meghan Markle’s hopes of making a royal comeback have been dashed. King Charles, in his quest to modernize and slim down the monarchy, has made it clear that there will be no place for those deemed as “traitors.”

 

The King’s decision comes as part of his broader strategy to reduce the size and cost of the royal family, focusing on those who are fully committed to their royal duties.

This move effectively sidelines Meghan and Prince Harry, whose departure from royal duties and subsequent media ventures have been viewed as betrayals by some within the palace.

Sources close to the royal family reveal that King Charles is determined to create a more streamlined and efficient monarchy, one that can better connect with the public and justify its existence in the modern era.

This vision leaves little room for those who have stepped back from their roles and sought independence

For Meghan, this development is a significant setback. Her ambitions to re-establish a royal presence have been quashed by the King’s firm stance. The decision has sent ripples through royal circles, highlighting the ongoing tensions and divisions within the family.

As King Charles moves forward with his plans, the future of the monarchy appears to be one of transformation and renewal, albeit with a much smaller circle of active royals. Meghan and Harry, it seems, will have to continue forging their own path outside the royal fold

Meghan Markle risks being called a “hypocrite” with her latest controversial move, a royal author has claimed.

Meghan Markle has landed herself in hot water again after speaking about bullying during one of her recent appearances, just weeks after allegations of the same nature were made against her.

The Duchess of Sussex stepped out in Santa Barbara earlier this month to visit a youth organisation called Girl Inc where she spoke to teenage girls about being “one of the most bullied people in the world”.

Her visit aimed to highlight the teens’ experience of growing up in the digital age and help with the launch of a new digital-wellness programme called Social Media U, which is brought by Girls Inc. in partnership with non-profit organisation #HalfTheStory, however, much of the attention was drawn to the duchess’s comment about bullying.

Meghan’s claim came weeks after the latest “Duchess Difficult” drama which saw a number of current and former members of staff making a series of allegations against her and her behaviour towards them.

Now a royal author suggested that, even though the duchess has received harsh criticism since marrying Prince Harry, she risks being called a “hypocrite” with her latest move.

Christopher Andersen, author of The King, told Fox News: “In fairness, since marrying Prince Harry, she has been on the receiving end of some pretty scalding criticism – some of it legitimate, but much of it not.

“The amount of visceral anger aimed at Meghan online is quite remarkable,” he shared. “If Meghan feels unfairly targeted, she probably has every right to. But is it wise for someone who has been described as a workplace bully – whether it’s true or not – to complain that she is a victim of bullying? It may come off as just more egocentric whining. We’ve heard it all before.”

He added that there is “nothing wrong” with Meghan empathising with young girls who must deal with online bullying but urged the duchess to “resist the temptation to make it all about her.”

Following the media storm sparked by the latest comments, sources, went on to clarify to the New York Post that Meghan “talked about her experience with online bullying but never claimed she was the most bullied person in the world.”

It comes just weeks after The Hollywood Reporter published a damning report citing a current senior staffer who claimed that she acts like a “dictator in high heels” and colleagues are allegedly “terrified” of her and her “belittling” behaviour towards them.

Following that, Us Weekly published a cover story citing various current and former employees of the Sussex couple who rushed to Meghan’s defence and praised her for her “kindness”.

But after the ‘counter-attack’, fresh claims regarding Meghan’s attitude emerged after a courtier who worked for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex when they were working royals alleged to the Daily Beast that Meghan was a “demon” boss who had “psycho moments” during their service and made people “feel like s**t”.

The Duchess has not commented on the recent drama, however, it follows previous bullying allegations which were made against her back in 2018, which she has long and vehemently denied.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were given a damning verdict by a PR expert who said their “star power” as business partners has not been successful.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were brutally savaged by a PR expert who claimed the reason the couple are embarking on solo projects now is due to the fact that their “star power wasn’t as successful as they hoped”.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared to have adopted a new business strategy after they made a series of solo appearances in recent weeks.

Prince Harry went on a solo tour in New York, London and southern Africa to promote causes close to him, while Meghan was seen attending events linked to her own projects.

Now PR specialist Mark Borkowski claimed there is a reason that caused their business separation.

He told Best magazine: “There has been a separation [of their work] for a while

“Harry is ‘going back to basics’ with a formula that worked well for him as a Royal Family member, but there’s also the realisation that the couple’s ‘star power’ wasn’t as successful as they hoped.

“They had to change the narrative.”

Meanwhile, another expert praised the Sussexes’s latest move and said they will both benefit from their brand separation.

Doug Eldridge, a celebrity branding and marketing expert and the founder of Achilles PR, told Fox News: “This is akin to splitting aces at the poker table: together you’d think they’re unbeatable — and normally they would be — but oftentimes it’s better to play two separate hands with an ace as an anchor.

“Right now, when you see Harry and Meghan together, it conjures an immediate association to the drama, none of which is positive: leaving the Royal Family, the tell-all book, the sit-downs, the negativity.

“By contrast, when seen separately, they can almost play their hand, just like the pair of aces you split at the table.”

He added that when Harry appears solo he can present himself as the “charming guy he was always thought of” while Meghan can be “free to brand her forthcoming line of goods”.

In a new teaser clip from Prince William’s new ITV documentary on homelessness, he is seen being quizzed on whether he’s the right person to lead a campaign about eradicating the problem

Prince William has sent a defiant message to critics who have questioned if he should lead a homelessness campaign.

The Prince of Wales features in a new teaser clip from an upcoming ITV documentary about his ambitious Homewards initiative, which is designed to eradicate homelessness in six locations around the UK. In the footage, the future King is quizzed about those who might question whether he is the right person to lead the project.

And in response, he insists he has “no other agenda” than “desperately trying to help” people in need through his drive to tackle homelessness and describes how he views his royal role as attempting to influence and help where he can.

In the clip, an interviewer probes: “There will be some people who might question whether you’re the right person to lead this project and its efforts to end homelessness. How would you respond to that?”

William replies: “I think everyone having a right to a safe and stable home benefits us all. I come with no other agenda than desperately trying to help people who are in need. And I see that as part of my role, is that, why else would I be here if I’m not using this role properly to influence and help people where I can?”

William himself has several homes – his main home Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, as well as his Anmer Hall mansion in Norfolk and Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace in London.

As heir to the throne, he inherited the Duchy of Cornwall estate – a portfolio of land, property and investments valued at more than £1billion – when his father became King, and the prince is entitled to its annual £23million profits as his private income.

He previously announced plans to build houses on Duchy land to tackle homelessness, with 24 homes in Nansledan, Newquay, alongside “wrap-around support” for local people to create a path to a permanent home. In the brief clip, the prince described how he liked a “big challenge” but needed support to combat homelessness. “And I like a big challenge, I do like that, but I can’t do it on my own,” he said.

The prince was followed for the Prince William: We Can End Homelessness programme during the first year of his Homewards initiative. The campaign is a major long-term focus for William, who has told how visiting shelters with his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales as a child left a deep and lasting impression and inspired his work.

Homewards aims to develop a blueprint for eradicating homelessness in all its forms, “making it rare, brief and unrepeated”. Six Homewards locations were chosen – Newport, Lambeth, Belfast, Aberdeen, Sheffield and three neighbouring Dorset towns, Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch – with the aim of delivering bespoke solutions to issues in each area.

 

Catherine, Princess of Wales, is back on duty with royal engagements after conquering cancer in early September.

 

 

Buckingham Palace’s recent announcement of a State Visit by the Amir of Qatar has royal fans eager with hope of seeing the future queen in a dazzling dress and tiara in early December.

The Amir and his wife, Sheikha Jawaher, will visit Britain from December 3rd to 4th, which will include a ceremonial carriage procession from Horse Guards Parade and a dazzling State Banquet at the palace on the evening of December 3. Although the Princess of Wales said in September that she hoped to attend a few engagements, it is unknown if she will attend the reception.

The queen-in-waiting completed her first tried and true royal engagement since last December on Thursday, October 10 alongside Prince William.

Kate’s visit involved some familiar body language behaviors, both her own and as a couple with William,” body language analyst Judi James told a publication.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the princess’s reemergence into the spotlight, as her tiara moments have always been a highlight of state events. Her presence, alongside William, is likely to be a moment of both celebration and admiration, as the princess not only returns to royal duties but does so with the same poise and strength that has defined her throughout the years.

In her emotional video in which she announced the end of chemotherapy, HRH said, “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,” she said. “Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”

“The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,” the next Queen consort continued. “With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.”

The “Kate Effect,” a term coined to describe how quickly items she wears sell out, showcases HRH’s influence on the fashion industry. Brands often experience a surge in sales when she is seen wearing their products, sometimes causing items to sell out within hours. This widespread adoration stems from her timeless, elegant, and occasionally bold fashion choices, with each outfit carefully curated to suit the occasion.

Kate’s ability to recycle and restyle outfits further endears her to fans, demonstrating both practicality and sustainability. Whether attending royal banquets in stunning tiaras or charity events in a simple yet chic coat dress, she brings an effortless sense of grace and poise to every appearance, which is set to “hopefully” soon return

 

In a surprising turn of events, Princess Anne has publicly expressed her strong opposition to King Charles III’s recent decision regarding Prince Harry’s royal titles. During a candid interview, she emphasized her belief that Harry bears the closest resemblance to their late mother, Princess Diana, and asserted that nothing should stand in the way of his potential to ascend the throne in the future.

 

 

Princess Anne, known for her straightforward demeanor and commitment to the royal family, has often maintained a more traditional perspective on monarchy. However, her latest comments signal a shift in her stance regarding Harry’s role within the family. “He carries Diana’s spirit and compassion in everything he does,” she stated. “It’s essential to recognize that. No one can deny the connection he has with her legacy, and it’s time we embrace that, rather than resist it.”

Her remarks come at a time when the royal family is navigating complex dynamics following Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from royal duties. The couple has faced intense scrutiny and criticism since their decision to step back, leading many to question their future within the royal hierarchy. However, Anne’s defense of Harry suggests a growing acknowledgment of his importance and potential impact on the monarchy.

Princess Anne’s comments have sparked considerable debate among royal observers and the public alike. Many applaud her willingness to support Harry, viewing it as a much-needed show of unity within the family. Supporters argue that recognizing Harry’s unique qualities and connection to Diana could help mend relationships that have been strained in recent years.
On the other hand, some critics question whether this approach aligns with the traditional values of the monarchy. They express concerns that by elevating Harry’s status, it could undermine the established order and create further divisions within the royal family.

Regardless of the mixed reactions, Anne’s remarks underscore a significant shift in the royal narrative. They highlight the need for the monarchy to adapt to modern values while honoring its history. As the royal family faces ongoing challenges, the support from Princess Anne for Harry may be a step towards fostering healing and reconciliation.

As discussions continue, many are left wondering how King Charles will respond to his sister’s bold stance. Will this lead to a reevaluation of how the monarchy views Prince Harry and his children? Only time will tell. However, one thing is clear: Princess Anne’s words have ignited a conversation about the future of the royal family, emphasizing the enduring legacy of Princess Diana and the importance of embracing change within tradition.

Prince Harry was included in a tearjerking clause of Princess Diana’s will.

Before her death, Diana had written several final wishes, including what should be gifted to her sons Prince William and Prince Harry in the event of her death.

The original document was signed by Diana on June 1, 1993 and later amended in 1996.

The “People’s Princess” tragically died at 36 alongside boyfriend Dodi Fayed, 42, in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

Frances Ruth Shand Kydd, and sister Lady Elizabeth Sarah Lavinia McCorquodale, were named as co-executors and trustees for the will.

In the will, Diana requested that nearly all her possessions be divided between William and Harry.

Her 17 godchildren received the rest and £50,000 was given to her butler Paul Burrell.

According to reports, Diana wanted the bulk of her estate to be placed in a trust, which she requested William and Harry have access to when they turned 25.

But the court allowed Diana’s mother and sister to change a few of the will’s details.

The age at which the princes received their share was changed from 25 to 30.

The items included Diana’s iconic 1981 wedding dress, which was to be gifted to the pair when Harry marked his 30th birthday.

Meanwhile William received his mother’s engagement ring – which he later used to propose to Princess Kate.

The dress was made up of thousands of pearls, layers of silk and a 25ft train, and was returned to her sons in 2014 after a global tour.

The treasured heirloom was transferred into the princes’ possession, alongside other cherished personal items.

It had previously been looked after by her brother Earl Spencer and had been the centrepiece of an exhibition, which has raised money for the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.

The Cincinnati Museum Center in the United States also displayed the dress for six months.

Mr Emanuel said in 2014: “That gown has earned its keep. It has been around the globe many, many times. I think more people abroad have seen it than British people.

“What’s extraordinary is, after so many years, people are still talking about it.”
