Fans are stunned as Catherine’s fourth child comes with a final statement, showing her strength and resilience. Prince William’s love for her deepens more than ever, creating a heartwarming moment for the royal family.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are proud parents to three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. However, rumors and speculation about a potential baby number four have persisted for years, particularly since the birth of Prince Louis in 2018. Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has often fueled this speculation with her fondness for children and her open comments about enjoying motherhood.

During royal visits, Catherine is frequently seen warmly interacting with babies and young children. These moments often spark media speculation about whether she might be considering expanding her family. Whether she’s cooing over infants at engagements or joking about her broodiness, royal watchers are always quick to ask: is there another royal baby on the horizon?

Catherine herself has playfully hinted at the possibility on several occasions. In January 2020, while visiting Bradford, she joked that Prince William becomes concerned when she feels too attached to babies. Similarly, during a 2022 visit to Copenhagen, she admitted that being around babies makes her want another child. One particularly memorable moment occurred in Glasgow in May 2022, when Prince William jokingly urged someone to “get my wife out of here before she gets broody” as Catherine doted over a baby.

In 2023, Catherine faced a deeply personal health battle. After being diagnosed with early-stage cancer, she underwent preventative treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation. The news was kept largely private throughout the year, with the Princess of Wales acknowledging her struggle only after completing her treatments successfully. Following her recovery, whispers surfaced suggesting that Catherine hadn’t ruled out the idea of having a fourth child. Some sources even claim that her experience deepened her bond with her children and reignited her appreciation for motherhood.

Despite the ongoing baby rumors, Catherine’s dedication to the well-being of children is undeniable. She has become a leading advocate for early childhood development, launching the Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood in 2021, which focuses on the first five years of a child’s life. In January 2023, she expanded this commitment with the Shaping Us campaign, aiming to raise awareness about how early childhood experiences shape the adults we become.

Whether at conferences, nurseries, or public engagements, Catherine’s passion for children is evident. Her warm interactions with babies and toddlers never fail to light up both the public and the media. It’s this natural warmth that has made her one of the most beloved figures in the royal family and keeps rumors alive about the possibility of a fourth child.

Despite her busy schedule as a senior royal, Catherine has always prioritized her own children, ensuring they have as normal a childhood as possible. She bakes birthday cakes, takes family vacations, and keeps George, Charlotte, and Louis out of the public eye when possible. The fact that she may still be considering expanding her family shows the depth of her commitment to motherhood.

While there has been no official confirmation about a fourth pregnancy, the speculation continues. Given Catherine’s clear love for children, it wouldn’t be surprising if she and Prince William decided to add another member to their family in the future.

In the midst of financial woes, Meghan Markle struggles to raise Archie and Lilibet

Meghan Markle, known as the Duchess of Sussex, is currently facing a multitude of challenges in raising her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

These difficulties stem from financial troubles, exacerbated by her recent lack of Hollywood projects following the loss of a lucrative $20 million Spotify deal earlier this year, alongside Netflix canceling her animated series, Pearl.

The Duchess’s financial strains are taking a toll on her well-being, as reported by In Touch Weekly. The ongoing financial strain has left Meghan feeling overwhelmed, struggling to maintain her family’s accustomed lavish lifestyle while also tending to the needs of her children.

Concerns about Meghan’s health have been raised, with a nutrition expert noting her alarming weight loss, indicating potential neglect of self-care amidst mounting stress. An insider has echoed these concerns, suggesting that Meghan is “cracking under the pressure” of relentless public scrutiny and financial worries.

The Duchess’s predicament is exacerbated by the constant need to navigate financial challenges, with bills accumulating and the pressure to sustain the lifestyle expected of her and Prince Harry.

Balancing her time between her children and managing these financial burdens has become increasingly challenging, leaving Meghan feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin.

Psychotherapist Stacey Kaiser has observed the significant weight loss experienced by Meghan, interpreting it as a manifestation of underlying stress, depression, and exhaustion.

These factors collectively paint a picture of Meghan Markle grappling with the complexities of parenthood amidst financial turmoil, navigating a delicate balance between her family’s well-being and the relentless demands of public life.

While there has been no official confirmation about a fourth pregnancy, the speculation continues. Given Catherine’s clear love for children, it wouldn’t be surprising if she and Prince William decided to add another member to their family in the future.

In a significant turn of events, Princess Anne has been officially appointed as the acting head of the royal family following the hospitalization of King Charles III. This decision, made by royal advisors, comes as a necessary step to ensure continuity in royal duties during a period of uncertainty regarding the King’s health. King Charles was admitted to the hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening illness, prompting concerns over the functioning of the monarchy during his recovery.

Princess Anne, known for her strong sense of duty and commitment to royal responsibilities, has long been a stalwart figure within the family. Her appointment underscores the importance of experienced leadership at a time when public interest in the monarchy remains high. Anne has been actively involved in royal engagements and charitable work, often being described as the hardest-working member of the royal family. Her reputation for diligence makes her a fitting choice to take on the responsibilities usually held by the King.

However, the appointment has not been without controversy. Sources close to Prince William suggest that he is less than pleased with the decision. As the first in line to the throne, William has often been seen as the natural successor to his father. His dissatisfaction may stem from concerns about the public perception of his role and the potential overshadowing of his future kingship by his aunt’s prominent position during this critical time.

Insiders indicate that Prince William believes he should have been given more visibility during the King’s absence. His frustrations may also reflect a deeper concern about the royal family’s dynamics, especially as he prepares to take on more significant responsibilities in the coming years. William’s unease highlights the delicate balance of power and perception within the royal hierarchy, particularly in moments of transition.

 

Public reaction to Princess Anne’s appointment has been largely positive, with many recognizing her capability and readiness to serve in this capacity. The royal family’s resilience is being tested, but Anne’s leadership may provide the stability needed until King Charles makes a full recovery.

As the situation unfolds, the eyes of the nation remain on the royal family, with many wondering how these developments will shape the future of the monarchy. The contrasting attitudes within the family serve as a reminder of the complexities of royal life, where duty, tradition, and personal ambition often intertwine. In the meantime, the royal family continues to adapt to the challenges presented by King Charles’s health, with Princess Anne at the forefront, embodying the spirit of dedication that the monarchy has long stood for.

During an in-depth interview, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, revealed that she has ‘really made an active effort’ to heal relations and find forgiveness for the Royal Family

When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry and officially became the Duchess of Sussex she was already established within public life, as a successful actress.

However, she has admitted since that she was not entirely prepared for how intense the spotlight the Royal Family lives within would be, and has been candid about the fact that she struggled with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts whilst a working royal. This led to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex realising that they needed to make a change and that operating as full-time, tax-payer-funded representatives of the crown wasn’t suitable for their young family. Whilst the couple initially hoped that they would be able to continue to be working royals on a part-time basis, the late Queen Elizabeth deemed this model impossible and they made a full break from the House of Windsor.

Since then, relations have been strained between the Sussexes and some of the other senior royals, with Meghan and Harry’s candour about the issues they faced inside the monarchy and allegations levied at Queen Camilla and Prince William amongst others reportedly becoming points of contention. However, in a wide-ranging interview, Meghan opened up about the importance of “forgiveness” and explained that she had made “an active effort” in this regard toward her royal in-laws.

Speaking to The Cut magazine in 2022, when she was promoting her podcast Archetypes, Meghan was asked if, despite everything that had gone on with the Windsors and her own family over the years, forgiveness was still possible. The Duchess replied “I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive…But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I’ve really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything”.

She also said that there were no practical blockages getting in the way of her voicing her opinions about her experiences: “It’s interesting, I’ve never had to sign anything that restricts me from talking…I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to,” and later in the interview noted, “I have a lot to say until I don’t. Do you like that? Sometimes, as they say, the silent part is still part of the song.” Elsewhere in the interview, Meghan revealed that she had packed up her UK home of Frogmore Cottage whilst visiting the country for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, a weekend of celebration that coincided with Princess Lilibet’s first birthday.

Christmas Day is only 11 weeks away and families around the world are already beginning to decide their festive and winter holiday plans – including the Royal Family.

According to a well-placed source, Express.co.uk has revealed this year Prince Harry is keen to spend the holidays in the United Kingdom with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie, five and Princess Lilibet, three.

This comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex received an invitation to spend Christmas with Harry’s uncle, Charles Spencer at the family home in Althorp, Northamptonshire.

The source claimed: “Harry is keen for the Sussexes to spend time in the UK this Christmas with family. However, there are still concerns lingering over their security.

“Meghan has always shown a reluctance to travel to the United Kingdom and finds it quite a challenge with all that’s been going on.”

If Meghan Markle were to attend, which is looking highly unlikely at this stage, it would be the first time the Duchess has properly set foot in the UK since the late Queen’s funeral in 2022.

Previously, Harry has previously expressed “genuine concerns” about Meghan Markle returning to the UK. He told ITV’s ‘Tabloids on Trial’ about his worries: “And whether it’s a knife or acid, these are things that are genuine concerns for me. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”

The source adds that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not yet received an invitation to join the Royal Family at their annual Sandringham gathering – and it’s not thought they would accept even if one was extended.

It comes as both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also absent at last year’s Royal Family Christmas gathering at Sandringham.

Prince Harry was last at Althorp House, the final resting place of his late mother, in August, after going to the memorial service for Diana’s brother-in-law, Lord Robert Fellowes.

EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle showed off a major hair change last week at an event in Los Angeles.

Meghan Markle’s hair change appears to hint at three major changes in her life, according to MAYFIVE’s co-founder Katie Allan.

The Duchess of Sussex, who stepped out at the LA Children’s Hospital Gala on Saturday night, had her long locks styled in loose “effortless” beach waves. Many fans noticed Meghan’s new look, and it seemingly posed a difference from her usual sleek hairstyle.

As well as likely wanting to switch up her hair, celebrity stylist and MAYFIVE co-founder Katie Allan believes there could be three life changes behind Meghan’s look.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, she said: “Meghan debuted a fresh new hairstyle at the LA Children’s Hospital Gala. We’re used to seeing Meghan with sleek and polished hairstyles, but her new natural, relaxed tousled look was a lot more laid back with an effortless vibe.

“The waves are a lot softer than we are used to seeing on Meghan, and is a contrast to her usual style of low buns or bouncy blow dries.”

Speaking of the potential changes, she added: “This natural yet glamorous look could suggest that she’s feeling more relaxed, relatable and approachable.

“We often change up our style when we are embracing a lifestyle or attitude change, so this new look could reflect that.

“This style also reflects current trends as laid back, effortless styles are rising in popularity and will continue to be popular into 2025.”

As well as Meghan’s hair, her dress also sparked marked fan frenzy after sporting a recycled £4,595 ($5,990) red Carolina Herrera dress.

Taking to X, one fan commented: “She looks young, beautiful and healthy. Her hair is lovely [pink-heart emoji]”, whilst another added: “She stepped out so beautifully.”

Prince Harry was noticeably absent from the event as he had travelled to Lesotho for a series of engagements for his charity, Sentebale.

According to a well-placed source, Harry was due to head back to California this weekend to reunite with Meghan and their two children, but has chosen to prolong his solo trip by an extra few days.

The source added that the Duke will likely head to Johannesburg and Cape Town for “private time” with family and friends.

The Duchess of Sussex could be undergoing some life changes, with rumours rife that her and Prince Harry are going their separate ways professionally.

Meghan Markle could be in the midst of a major life change after her latest red carpet appearance.

The Duchess, 43, stepped out at the LA Children’s Hospital Gala on Saturday without Prince Harry by her side, however this did not stop Meghan making quite the statement.

Rewearing her £4,595 red Carolina Herrera dress, which she had previously debuted in 2021 in a different style, Meghan also showcased a hairstyle not commonly seen on the mum-of-two.

As opposed to the usual sleek style, Meghan instead chose to debut a new look on the carpet with effortlessly beachy waves, a style more commonly seen on Princess Kate.

Celebrity stylist and MAYFIVE co-founder Katie Allan has now said that this change away from her usual style may hint that the Duchess has experienced a change in her life

She exclusively told Express.co.uk: “Meghan debuted a fresh new hairstyle at the LA Children’s Hospital Gala.

“Were used to seeing Meghan with sleek and polished hairstyles, but her new natural, relaxed tousled look was a lot more laid back with an effortless vibe.

“The waves are a lot softer than we are used to seeing on Meghan, and is a contrast to her usual style of low buns or bouncy blow dries.”

She continued to tell the Daily Express: “This natural yet glamorous look could suggest that she’s feeling more relaxed, relatable and approachable.

“We often change up our style when we are embracing a lifestyle or attitude change, so this new look could reflect that.”

The red carpet appearance came after rumours were already rife that the Duchess and her husband Prince Harry were going their separate ways professionally.

This came after the prince jetted off from his Californian home for a string of solo engagements /news/royal/1958212/prince-harry-meghan-markle-solo-childrenin New York, the UK and Africa.

Meghan is believed to have been at home with the couple’s two children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.

Meghan Markle was criticised by a royal expert for “alienating” any friend that “upsets” her.

Meghan Markle was brutally savaged by a royal expert after she was accused of “alienating a lot of former friends” and “cutting them dead” if they upset her.

The latest blow came following the Duchess of Sussex’s appearance at a children’s hospital gala last Saturday.

Meghan was seen mingling with celebrities at the charity event with the likes of Demi Lovato and Kaley Cuoco.

However, one of her former pals was also at the glitzy gala, British socialite Lizzie Cundy, who was very critical of the duchess.

She told the Mail: “There wasn’t a great deal of warmth from people when she arrived. She wasn’t there long – she seemed to be there for the photographs. Meghan needs LA more than LA needs her. LA people feel they’ve been played by her.”

Meghan and Lizzie were close since 2013 after meeting at a charity gala, however, the duchess allegedly “ignored and ghosted her” after she met Prince Harry.

She told the outlet: “She ghosted me once the engagement hit. She’s ghosted quite a lot of people, obviously, including her family, so I’m not the worst person she’s ghosted.”

But now royal author Ingrid Seward slammed the duchess’s “pattern” of “alienating” anyone who “upsets” her.

She told the Sun: “Well, I think that Meghan has managed to alienate a lot of her former friends. She does something which is very distressing for people. She actually sort of just cuts them dead and ghosts them, as it’s called.

“But to me, it’s just called cutting them dead and not wanting to see them anymore. And if they upset her, that’s what she does and it’s very difficult to deal with somebody like that. I think that people are just fed up with Meghan.”

The author added: “The point is that people are starting to be actually, you know, speak out about being unhappy with the way that Meghan is.

“She was all smiles at one stage, and now she just looks different, and it doesn’t look real.”

Meanwhile, Meghan’s close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen, who was snapped with the duchess on the red carpet on Saturday, sang her praises following the charity event.

Ms McKee Zajfen thanked her friend for turning up in honour of the hospital, which has cared for Kelly’s daughter Lily, who has had a heart condition since the age of two.

She wrote on Instagram: “I was also beyond grateful to share in this beautiful evening with one of my closest friends. Meg, your commitment to supporting Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and community is truly inspiring. I’m so grateful to have you by my side.”

The Princess Royal spoke about the concept of the slimmed down monarchy and how that looked after certain members of the firm quit.

Princess Anne was seen to have made a discreet dig at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when asked about the concept of a “slimmed down” monarchy.

The Princess Royal, 74, has never spoken about the couple outright since their exit from the Royal Family in 2020, and was once of the only royals seen talking to Harry at events such as the King’s Coronation.

However, when being interviewed by CBC earlier this year, Anne said that her brother’s decision to slim down the number of senior working royals was made before certain senior people stepped down from their duties.

She said at the time: “Well, I think the ‘slimmed-down’ (monarchy) was said in a day when there were a few more people around to make that seem like a justifiable comment.

“I mean, it doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing, I have to say. I’m not quite sure what else, you know, we can do.”

Although rarely seen in public together, Princess Anne reportedly knew that Meghan had a “short shelf-life” in the monarchy as she failed to take the veteran royal’s precious advice on board.

Royal expert Neil Sean said of the incident: “According to a very good source Meghan Markle failed to warm to Princess Anne. And Princess Anne always knew that Meghan would have a very short shelf-life in the world of the British monarchy.

“Apparently, when Meghan Markle joined the Royal Family, she sought out Princess Anne. According to a very good source, Princess Anne gave very sage advice to the new royal.

“Princess Anne reiterated this mantra, she pointed out that it wasn’t a working monarchy, it was a job, you turn up on time, you do your research, and do the duty.

“It’s all about the project at hand. She also pointed out that whatever charities you are involved in you, you needed to get involved and get immersed.”

The Princess Royal has the title of one of the most hardworking members of the family, despite the fact she is also one of the oldest.

Despite suffering an injury earlier this year, Anne only took a brief period of time away from work to recover before returning back to her royal duties.
