Although King Charles III has returned to work after being diagnosed with cancer in February, Kate, Princess of Wales, is still taking her time to recuperate from her battle with the disease.

“It’s a reflection of Her Royal Highness’s importance to the future of the monarchy that she has been given as much time as she needs,” a palace insider shared when discussing why the King is out and about, but Kate remains secluded.

“As Sovereign, His Majesty is in a very different position from the Princess of Wales,” they added.

This insight follows reports from March that stated the two senior royals had reportedly “gotten closer” in the wake of their equally shocking cancer diagnoses this year.

“The King has always had a close, warm, and unique relationship with the princess,” a palace source stated then. “She has a great love and respect for him and his position. When they were in hospital together, there was a lot of toddling down the corridor to spend time with her. He has been encouraging and supporting her throughout.”

“He’s not a father figure as such — she’s got her own dad to whom she’s absolutely devoted — but you could say the king treats her like the daughter he never had,” a report published on Saturday, March 23, stated. “You see it in the pictures of them together. That relationship is best summed up in those fascinating moments when she greets him first with a kiss and then with a curtsy.”

“It is highly unusual for just the two of them to sit down together like this,” a source revealed when discussing a reported lunch meeting between the future queen and her Sovereign on March 21. “The King had already been made aware that the woman he calls ‘my beloved daughter-in-law’ had cancer. They would have had lots to discuss and share because just weeks earlier the King had begun his course of treatment and dealt with announcing his diagnosis. The King left his lunch feeling very emotional.”

SOURCE: MEGAThe Princess of Wales has not undertaken a public engagement since Christmas Day 2023.

“His Majesty is so proud of Catherine for her courage and speaking as she did. Following their time in hospital together, His Majesty has remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks,” Buckingham Palace shared in a statement on March 22. “Both Their Majesties will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family throughout this difficult time.”

It has been reported that the monarch is all for the future queen taking as much time as she needs to feel strong and ready for duty again.

Diana, Princess of Wales is still remembered as a global fashion icon for using her outfits to make pivotal public statements.

Princess Diana set a precedent on how members of the Royal Family should dress when undertaking official duties abroad, a royal expert suggested.

Nearly 30 years after her death, the former Princess of Wales is still celebrated around the world as a leading figure in fashion.

She is still remembered today for repeatedly using her outfits to make important statements – a lesson royal commentator Jennie Bond suggested the Royal Family should practice more often.

The former BBC correspondent cited the example of a visit to Angola that Diana carried out only a few months before her death.

Bond said: “Diana, towards the end of her life, looked quite different. Think about going to Angola in 1997, in January, February.

“I remember there was a male correspondent who said, ‘oh, what’s she going to be wearing?’ I said, ‘I don’t really care what she’s wearing, she’s here for a really serious purpose. I really don’t care what she’s wearing.’

“As it happened, what she wore, in fact, was important because it was a pair of jeans, a jacket. She came to work, hardly any jewels, no frills, no expensive stuff at all.”

Speaking to Times Radio, she added: “And I just thought that was a statement from Diana and she maintained that throughout the tour, we didn’t see any dressy stuff.

“And I think that’s how you should carry out a visit be it a royal visit or not.”

The former royal correspondent contrasted Diana’s fashion picks with the expensive wardrobe selection Meghan Markle brought along during her recent visit to Nigeria.

The Duchess of Sussex is estimated to have spent approximately £120,000 on new outfits and jewels for the three-day visit.

She said: “I personally have a bit of a problem with Meghan or anyone, including members of the Royal Family, wearing such expensive outfits and dripping with jewels that are worth thousands and thousands of pounds when you’re going somewhere like Nigeria.

“Personally, I don’t see how you do that, it feels a bit out of tune when most Nigerians are thinking where the next meal is going to come from. But it’s not only Meghan who does that, the royals do as well.

Perhaps Meghan felt that was what was expected of her because she does still feel royal even though she doesn’t want to be part of the royals.”

Diana, Princess of Wales, couldn’t wear the necklace as intended but figured out a workaround with the help of her hairstylist at the time.

Princess Diana was known for her bold fashion choices, especially in the 1980s, but one such moment was function over fashion, says her former hairstylist.

In 1985, the late Princess of Wales was on a royal tour in Australia. She showed up to a banquet with a dazzling headband, but it turns out it was actually a necklace, which hairstylist Richard Dalton talked about at a recent People magazine panel event.

Mr Dalton said: “I think she had sunburn on her neck so we said, ‘Let’s make a headband of it.’” He added: “I asked Evelyn, her dresser, for six inches of knicker elastic.” Mr Dalton was able to affix the necklace to her forehead using sticky tape.

The necklace once belonged to Queen Victoria and was then left to Queen Elizabeth II, who gave the necklace to Diana as a wedding present, reports Vanity Fair.

The necklace hadn’t been seen in decades, until Princess Kate wore it to the Earthshot Awards in 2022, which took place in Boston, Massachusetts.

Kate has her own unique style, but at the same time, you see may hints of Diana’s daring choices, like opting for bold patterns and unexpected colors.

This may be Kate’s way of paying homage to Diana and keeping her late mother-in-law’s memory alive.

When Kate headed to Wales in 2022, her first royal tour since earning her new title of Princess of Wales, she wore a red peacoat made by LK Bennet, which is named “Spencer,” Diana’s maiden name.

Kate even dared to wear a daring black top undereath the red blazer, just like Diana did.

Meghan Markle should do this one “crucial” move to “boost her public image” in the UK, according to a PR expert.

Prince Harry kisses Meghan Markle in Nigeria

Meghan Markle, who hasn’t been back to England since 2022, has been encouraged to make a trip to the UK and try to appear “more relatable” as part of her rebranding efforts.

The Duchess of Sussex is currently immersed in several projects believed to be part of her and Prince Harry’s rebranding strategy.

Meghan is preparing to launch her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, and is also set to release a new Netflix show focused on cooking and gardening.

It’s been suggested that the Sussexes are keenly focused on crafting a new PR strategy to regain their popularity after hiring two UK-based publicists.

It comes after the pair have both individually recieved nagative ratings from UK respondednts in public opinion polls.

Lynn Carratt, a public relations expert from Press Box PR, told The Mirror: “To maintain their public image, it is important for Meghan to make a visit to the UK and while she has projected a polished image, she should also strive to be more open and relatable to her audiences in both the UK and the US.”

She added: “Real life isn’t picture perfect with flowers and homemade jams and I’m sure Meghan’s life has its difficulties.

“Demonstrating different facets of their personalities and acknowledging past missteps is crucial for Harry and Meghan and building bridges with the Royal Family could help improve public opinion, especially in the UK.”

Carratt believes the choices Harry and Meghan make in their careers are crucial for boosting their public image.

Speaking about the couple’s Netflix deal, she commented: “It is unlikely that they will renew their deal with Netflix. Their recent dinner with Paramount’s Brian Robbins and his wife has sparked speculation about a potential new deal for them with Paramount.

“The success of the upcoming Netflix shows will be instrumental in enhancing their popularity.

“It’s important for them to showcase authenticity rather than striving for a picture-perfect image, as this can help people relate to them better.”

 

Prince Harry is said to be feeling “let down” amid the ongoing royal rift, with his bond with his brother Prince William said to be “irreparable”.

Prince Harry is reportedly feeling “let down” amidst the ongoing royal feud, with an expert claiming there is now an “intensified bitterness”.

In 2020, the Duke of Sussex stepped back from his senior role within the Royal Family. He and his wife, Meghan Markle, subsequently relocated from Windsor, England to California in the United States.

Since their move, the Sussexes appear to have distanced themselves further from the monarchy. The couple, now based in Montecito, frequently engage in projects where they share their experiences of Royal life.

Notably, they sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, released a docuseries in 2022, and Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, was published in 2023.

Earlier this month, Prince Harry flew to the UK from the US to attend a service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Prior to his arrival, there were rumours that he might meet with his father, who he hadn’t seen since the King’s cancer diagnosis was announced in February.

However, according to a statement from Harry’s office, Charles was otherwise occupied, resulting in no meeting between father and son during the Duke’s brief return to his former home country.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has claied that Prince Harry “feels let down” amidst the ongoing “bitterness” among the Royal family members. Speaking to The Mirror, he disclosed: “It has come down to a father, suffering from cancer, unable or unwilling to see his son, who is on a three-day visit despite being in close proximity in the same city.”

 

“His son claims he wanted to see him. Both sides have briefed against each other as to why, security may be involved too.”

Fitzwilliams also commented on the strained relationship between Princes Harry and William, saying: “Although we are not privy to private contact, there reportedly has been almost none between the brothers and the glare of publicity in the royal goldfish bowl has been ferocious.”

“This has undoubtedly intensified the bitterness.”

Concluding his insights, Fitzwilliams remarked: “Harry feels let down by the security arrangements, which he has unsuccessfully fought to change and also accuses the Royal Family of colluding with the press to their detriment.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s marriage will last ‘years rather than decades,’ claims ex-Vanity Fair editor

 

Former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter believes Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won’t make it ’til death do them part.

“I would measure the duration of the marriage in years rather than decades,” Carter, 74, told the Sunday Times in an article published Sunday.

 

The Air Mail co-founder added that he believes the Duchess of Sussex got everything she wanted out of her marriage to the prince in order to re-launch her Hollywood career.

“I think she has run rings around poor Harry and gotten what she wanted: notoriety, money and a title,” he added. “His usefulness to her diminishes daily.”

The Canadian journalist admitted that the “Suits” alum probably won’t return to television, but that she would be a perfect fit for Bravo.

“If there is a ‘Real Housewives of Montecito’ show in the works, she’d be a shoo-in,” he joked.

Markle and Harry resigned from their royal duties two years after tying the knot in 2018. They moved to Montecito, Calif., where they reside with their two kids: Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.

Since then, Harry and Markle have set out to create an empire of sorts in the entertainment industry as they continue to rub shoulders with Hollywood heavy-hitters.

Although Spotify cut ties with the Sussexes after they failed to deliver, Harry made headlines when he published his tell-all memoir, “Spare,” in January and Markle signed with WME in April. 

The duo — who’ve been estranged from the royal family since relinquishing their royal responsibilities and giving several interviews bashing the monarchy — sparked separation rumors in July.

A source told RadarOnline that they were “taking time apart” to rebuild their bond.

“They’re trying to figure out what hit them. Harry doesn’t fit in Meghan’s tacky Tinseltown world,” a source claimed, adding that Harry is hoping to “find himself.”

Indeed, the pair have looked as in love as ever in several sightings over the past few months.

Prince William has come under renewed pressure since the start of the year after the Royal Family was struck by a series of health crises.

Prince Willam has been showing off a pivotal trait he shares with his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in recent months, according to a royal expert.

The Prince of Wales has been forced to come to grapple with the King and his wife Kate, the Princess of Wales being diagnosed with cancer within weeks of each other.

After taking a temporary leave of absence from his duties to be by Kate’s side, he returned to his public engagements last month.

Royal commentator Emily Nash noted William appeared to show the same ability the late Queen had to “compartmentalise” his feelings to be able to resume his duties despite the difficult period.

Nash said: “What I found really interesting watching William recently is how much he shares his late grandmother’s ability to compartmentalise.

“If you remember back to those early engagements in the early spring, I’m thinking in particular to him turning up to that event with Tom Cruise – behind the scenes, all manner of stuff was going on.

“And yet he turns up, smile on his face, he’s able to get on with things.”

Speaking to Times Radio, the Hello! Magazine royal editor said the Prince of Wales is notably “private” about his family – but he has likely appreciated the public support shown to him and Kate since her diagnosis.

She continued: “Obviously, everywhere he goes now people are offering him good wishes for the Princess, asking after her.

“And we know he’s a very private man, he’s not about to give chapter and verse on things, but they’ve also shared messages about how much the outpouring of support means to them.

“So I think they’re drawing strength from each other but also from the wider public and the response to her illness.”

During a visit to the Isles of Scilly, where he’s known as the Duke of Cornwall, William provided a rare update on Kate’s condition.

Asked about how the Princess of Wales is, the Prince said she is “doing well” since her cancer diagnosis.

The Princess underwent abdominal surgery in January, with the Palace confirming she was not expected to resume her duties until Easter at the earliest.

But in March, Kate released a video in which she confirmed she was receiving treatment after tests found that “cancer had been present” after her surgery.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent royal-style tour to Nigeria reportedly enraged King Charles and Prince William.

Now, royal author Tom Quinn claims the monarch and his eldest son have spoken about stripping the the California-based couple of their royal titles.

Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals back in 2020, but have still retained their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Critics claim the couple are leveraging their connection to the UK crown through the titles while forgoing any of the duties or work commitments that royal life requires.

A 2020 survey for Tatler magazine found that 68% of Britons believed Harry and Meghan should be stripped of their titles. Other surveys conducted in the years since have shown that number has grown.

“Charles and William have had lengthy discussions about stripping Meghan and Harry of their royal titles,” Quinn told The Mirror.

“They are terrified this would backfire and make the situation worse,” Quinn explained. “The last thing they want is to give the renegade royals something else to complain about.”

“William and his father know that even without their royal titles Meghan and Harry would carry on traveling the world as if they were royals and most people in the world will still welcome them,” the expert further asserted.

Harry and Meghan spent three days in Nigeria earlier this month on a tour which took place in a “private capacity.”

However, Quinn previously told The Mirror that the tour had all the trappings of a traditional tour.

“Everything you might expect from an official royal visit was there — the receptions, the visits to schools and charities, to wounded soldiers and the disabled,” he said. “Charles is said to be angrier than anyone has ever seen him.”

“Meghan and Harry’s speeches and their whole attitude has been designed to give the impression that they are still fully paid-up royals,” said Quinn, adding that William and King Charles “don’t like that one bit.”

“For Charles and William, it’s as if Meghan and Harry are saying, ‘We don’t need your permission to be working royals — we will do it on our own terms whenever and wherever we like,’” he went on. “William and Charles are scratching their heads and thinking, ‘How are we going to control this nightmare situation?’”

Is a “Hollywood split” in the cards for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?

There has been recent rise in A-list couples secretly parting ways without announcing it to the world, including Jada Pinkett Smith being separated from husband Will Smith since 2016.

Days after the reveal, Page Six broke that Meryl Streep and her husband, Don Gummer, have also been separated for more than six years.

Relationship expert Louella Alderson believes that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could copy and paste the action should they ever choose to divorce.

The So Syncd dating app co-founder told the Mirror recently: “The media attention surrounding the end of their relationship would be difficult to deal with and they have their children to look out for.”

She also suggested that Harry, 39, and Markle, 42, make a “lucrative team” and their working partnership has “the potential to continue bringing in substantial income for their family.”

“While they have their individual endeavors, their partnership has proven to be beneficial for both of them professionally, too,” the dating expert explained.

She went on: “If they were to split, it could potentially impact their careers, especially as a couple who have brands built on their relationship.”

Alderson then pointed out that maybe the “Suits” alum and the Invictus Games founder could just be needing some personal quiet time to reconnect as a duo.

“Harry and Meghan are constantly under scrutiny, with every move being analyzed and interpreted. It could simply be a matter of them needing some time for themselves,” she said.

In May, Markle’s estranged half-sister Samantha Markle, predicted that the royal couple would split eventually.

Entertainment expert Mark Boardman also claimed earlier this month that Harry is “frustrated” and desperate for his “old life” back.

“Prince Harry’s social life has notably shifted over the past decade,” Boardman alleged to OK! magazine at the time, adding that Harry misses his old friends from his hometown, London.

Alderson gave some insights into the “Hollywood split” phenomena, explaining that it’s “common for celebrities to maintain a united front in the public eye.”

“This is typically to avoid the inevitable media attention and speculation and to protect their image and brand,” the expert said.

Relationship specialist Kate Mansfield told the Mirror that Meghan and Harry have “additional royal family complications and duties” that could cause a rift.
