Prince Harry and Meghan Markle enjoyed a lavish trip to Jamaica this week, which came after their surprise appearance at a glitzy film premiere in Jamaica.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a rare public appearance earlier this year when they attended the premiere of Bob Marley: One Love in Kingston, Jamaica. The couple were seen posing on the red carpet together, with them even posing with Bob Marley’s family. The CEO of Paramount Pictures was also in attendance, with the Sussexes posing for a snap with him. According to The Times, it is understood that “the Sussexes were flown to the island by private jet courtesy of Paramount Pictures, the production company behind the new biopic Bob Marley: One Love”.

 

It has now been revealed that prior to the premiere taking place on Tuesday night, the Sussexes spent the night at the five-star Half Moon resort in Montego Bay. At this lavish resort, four-bedroom villas are reported to set you back an eye-watering $4,300 (£3,400) per night.

According to MailOnline, the couple stayed in the Eclipse section of the resort, which is reported to have an opulent private beach, intimate swimming cove, and security. On the resort’s website, it states: “Framed by the glistening Caribbean Sea to the north and the lush hillsides to the south, Eclipse at Half Moon is one of the most luxurious additions to the Caribbean in a generation.

“The new property features 57 luxurious and spacious accommodations, two restaurants, three bars, a market café, Fern Tree – a Salamander Spa, a sweeping infinity-edge swimming pool, and private beachfront with a natural swimming cove.”

The Sussexes then spent Tuesday daytime enjoying a private tour of the Bob Marley museum, with them reported to have spent an hour inside the exhibition. Harry and Meghan then attended the premiere that evening, where they endured an awkward moment and met with Ziggy Marley, where what Harry said to him was revealed by a lip reader.And then after the premiere, the Sussexes are reported to have joined 60 other attendees for an afterparty at the five-star Terra Nova hotel in Kingston. According to MailOnline, the pair were in “high spirits” and enjoyed cocktails while partying the night away.

 

This comes after the Sussexes were flown out to Jamaica by Paramount Pictures. The Paramount CEO, Brian Robbins, is reportedly friends with the Duke and Duchess, with him and his wife owning a $17 million home in Montecito, which happens to be extremely close to the Sussexes’ Montecito mansion that they have resided in since 2020.

Despite facing significant backlash from British media critics, Princess Kate’s heartfelt post-chemo video has resonated strongly with audiences in the United States, generating a wave of support.

A recent Newsweek poll revealed that 80% of American viewers praised Kate’s decision to openly share her cancer journey, appreciating her raw and emotional message.

In the video, Kate shared intimate moments with her husband, Prince William, and their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

However, British publications like the *Daily Mail* and *The Guardian* criticized the video, labeling it as overly polished and manipulative. Marina Hyde from the *Guardian* expressed pity for Kate and questioned the need for such a carefully choreographed production, while Liz Jones from the *Daily Mail* likened it to an advertisement for a Marc Jacobs perfume.

In stark contrast, American viewers embraced Kate’s message, with a staggering 71% rating the video positively. Many appreciated the high production value, with 36% describing it as “very well produced.” In her emotional reflection, Kate said, “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Doing what I can to stay cancer-free is now my focus.” She concluded the video with an inspiring message: “Let that light shine bright,” rallying her American supporters to stand by her side as she continues her recovery journey.

In her personal life, Kate reportedly enjoys unwinding with a gin and tonic, a drink often associated with Queen Camilla. Insiders noted that William is attentive to Kate’s needs, frequently bringing her this drink. The couple, who have been together since 2001, have faced challenges over the years, including William’s feud with Prince Harry and allegations of infidelity, alongside Kate’s cancer treatment. However, recent reports suggest that they are doing better than ever.

After attending the Trooping the Colour event, sources noted a visible shift in their demeanor, with the couple appearing happier and more affectionate than in the past. An insider shared that they have become more comfortable expressing their love for one another, evident during a PDA-filled video announcement of Kate’s completion of cancer treatment.

Kate reflected in the video on the difficulties of their journey: “The journey through cancer is difficult, frightening, and unpredictable for everyone, but especially for those closest to you.” The couple’s commitment to one another seems to have grown stronger through adversity, showcasing their resilience as they navigate this challenging chapter in their lives.

Prince Harry has come under fire for attempting to “cash in” on his Royal heritage with the publication of his explosive memoir, ‘Spare’. The Duke of Sussex grabbed headlines last January following the release of his book, which levelled a series of bombshell allegations about his life within ‘The Firm’.

In ‘Spare’, Harry unleashed a raft of damning claims, including insights into his relationships with King Charles and Prince William. However, a Royal commentator has now lambasted the duke, branding him a “very silly boy” for his attacks on his father and brother, and condemned his actions as “deplorable”.Speaking to The Sun ahead of the release of the paperback version of Spare later this month, Royal pundit Jennie Bond remarked: “It [attacking the Royal Family] was deplorable and stupid – I think he was a very silly boy to write Spare,” reports the Express.

Adding to the criticism during a live show was the newspaper’s Royal photographer, Arthur Edwards, who castigated the duke for his attacks on his family and made an unfavourable comparison with another royal outcast. He commented: “He wanted to leave the Royal Family and he wanted to live in America with Meghan – that’s his choice.

“But then to go and start being really nasty about the royal family just to make money. When Edward VIII abdicated and became the Duke of Windsor he went abroad too. But he never, ever said anything about the royal family – he might have met Hitler but he didn’t say a bit about the royal family.”The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have been distanced from The Firm since their dramatic exit in 2020, have not made any additional claims against the Royal Family since the book’s release. Some Royal observers have suggested that this new change in their strategy could be a method for them to prepare for any potential reconciliation with the royals.

 

But that may depend on the fallout from the paperback release. Spare will hit UK shops again on October 22 but Harry has resisted the urge to add any further details to promote the book.

As Princess Catherine prepares to return to her royal duties after completing chemotherapy, she has expressed immense gratitude for the unwavering support of her husband, Prince William.

In her latest announcement video, Catherine emphasized how William has been a constant presence throughout her health journey, standing by her side through every step of the battle.

But William’s steadfast devotion has not only been directed toward Catherine—it extends to her entire family, particularly the Middletons, who have also faced the pressures of royal life in their own ways.

Catherine’s brother, James Middleton, recently opened up about these challenges in his memoir, where he reflected on the impact of public scrutiny that comes with being part of the royal family.

He praised Prince William for being a “crucial figure” in shielding their family from the more difficult aspects of this lifestyle.

In a poignant passage, James shared, “William was a support for us as a family. He did everything he could to protect us from the intense interest, not only for Catherine but for her immediate family.” This candid insight highlights a side of royal life that is less visible—the toll it takes on loved ones and how William took on the responsibility of protecting the Middletons from this burden.

Prince William and Princess Catherine have long cherished their close relationship with Catherine’s family, especially her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. Over the years, the Middleton family’s home in Bucklebury,  Berkshire, has become a beloved retreat for the couple, providing a quiet sanctuary where they can spend quality time with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. This rural estate, nestled in the Berkshire countryside, offers the family a peaceful escape from the public eye, where they can enjoy simple pleasures like countryside walks and outdoor activities.

William has played a protective role in ensuring that the Middletons receive the privacy and respect they deserve, shielding them from the relentless media attention that often accompanies royal status. His efforts to safeguard Catherine’s family reflect his deep understanding of the challenges that come with being in the public spotlight, given his own experiences growing up as a royal.

As Catherine returns to her royal responsibilities, rejuvenated after her treatment and bolstered by William’s support, it’s evident that their partnership is built on mutual respect and unwavering dedication. William’s commitment to looking after Catherine’s family, and his devotion during her health battle, highlight the strength of their bond. Behind their public roles, they share a deeply personal connection that shapes their lives.

As Catherine resumes her royal duties, she will undoubtedly continue to lean on William’s love and support. Thanks to his efforts, the Middleton family can rest assured that they too are being looked after, not only during Catherine’s health journey but as they navigate the unique challenges of their place in the world.

The Duke of Sussex recently told a journalist of his daughter’s hair “that it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers”

Prince Harry’s two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet weren’t far from his mind at last month’s WellChild Awards.

According to Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon, chief content officer at Hello!, the Duke of Sussex, 40, spoke about Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, at the event on Sept. 30 in London.

“From the moment he arrived in the reception room, he had an infectious energy about him, and there were no airs and graces at all as he chatted animatedly about his own children ahead of the event,” Vokes-Dudgeon wrote for the outlet.

The proud dad shared an anecdote about his kids’ hair — one that also included wife Meghan Markle. “Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair, he told us, self-effacingly, as he marveled that it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers,” Vokes-Dudgeon wrote.

Harry has spoken about his kids’ hair before, specifically its hue. During an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Harry said of his mother Princess Diana’s Spencer family, “The Spencer gene is very, very strong. I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that, should this go the distance and we have kids, that there’s no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes — but I was wrong!”

In addition to Harry’s red hair, all three of Princess Diana’s siblings — Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Lady Jane Fellowes and Earl Charles Spencer — all have red hair, as well.

As he traveled to the U.K. for the WellChild Awards and later went on to Africa, Vokes-Dudgeon wrote that “His wonderful wife Meghan was holding the fort, he said, her hands full with not only their two children but also their three dogs, which he joked were not quite house-trained. Not to mention the chickens!”

Vokes-Dudegon said that Prince Harry was “in his element” at the annual event. Harry has been patron of WellChild since 2007, and remains one of the few patronages he has kept since he and Meghan, 43, stepped back from their royal roles in 2020. The WellChild Awards celebrate the incredible courage and achievements of seriously ill children and also spotlight the dedication of those who care for them, from parents to nurses. At the Sept. 30 ceremony, Harry presented the award for the Most Inspirational Child (ages 4-6) and delivered a speech.

“These incredible young people, along with the dedicated caregivers, nurses and professionals who tirelessly support them, inspire us all,” Harry said in a statement. “It is a true privilege to recognize such extraordinary individuals.”

Harry has made attending the WellChild Awards a regular commitment, attending 12 ceremonies — and often spending meaningful time with the children and their families. Meghan memorably joined Harry for the awards ceremony in 2018 and 2019.

In his speech at this year’s event, Archie and Lilibet remained top of mind: “As a parent, I know a little about the emotional rollercoaster of parenting!” Prince Harry said. “But when I hear about the care many of you mums, dads and family members provide, the level of round-the-clock care you offer, the skills you’ve had to learn and the battles for support that you fight every single day, I am truly in awe.”

Vokes-Dudegon wrote that spending time with the children being honored at the WellChild Awards is “something that has become even more profound for him since he became a father himself.” (Archie was born in May 2019, and Lilibet followed in June 2021.)

In addition to the milestone of becoming a father, Prince Harry also reached another important milestone recently — turning 40 on Sept. 15.

The Duke of Sussex said that “He was enjoying being 40 and had been told by friends that it was the best decade, so he had high hopes for it,” according to Vokes-Dudgeon.

As he enters a new phase of life personally, his professional life is shifting, as well. Insiders previously told PEOPLE that, in their public lives, Harry is immersed in philanthropic efforts, while Meghan is leaning into entrepreneurial projects and commercial ventures.

“It’s clear that a twin-track approach is evolving,” a friend told PEOPLE.

A royal insider echoed this sentiment, adding, “The Duke and Duchess have now hit their stride as individuals — not just as a couple. The Duke appears focused on his patronage work, and the Duchess focused on her entrepreneurial track.”

Inside Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s New Dynamic: ‘A Twin-Track Approach Is Evolving,’ Friend Says (Exclusive)

This doesn’t mean, though, that the couple aren’t still collaborating together professionally. Case in point: they recently launched The Parents Network, a new initiative to support families impacted by online harm, and insiders confirm joint efforts like this will continue even as their individual projects expand, as “there will be joint efforts around those cause-driven areas of work,” the friend added.

Ultimately, their dynamic reflects a balanced partnership, where individual passions complement their joint mission. “With their recent trips to Nigeria and Colombia, as well as their foundation-led events, it is still evident they show up together for the causes they jointly support,” the royal insider said. “What we are seeing is a functional and healthy relationship with two working partners, not the contrary.”

Royal experts have suggested that Meghan Markle could follow in Prince Harry’s footsteps by penning her memoir.

A source told the outlet: “The word in publishing circles is that everyone’s mad to land Meghan’s memoirs and the numbers being thrown around are ridiculously high.

“We’re talking tens of millions for her authorised biography – it’s going to get to the point where she can’t say no.

“And love her or hate her, there’s no denying that she has an insight into the royals that no one else can share.”

The insider claimed that Megahn has a “remarkable story”, and it’s just a question of finding the right timing.

Prince Harry and Prince William are not on speaking terms following several claims the Duke of Sussex made against his older brother in his own bombshell memoir, Spare.

According to a new report, King Charles faced a challenging moment in his health journey, as he was taken to the hospital for cancer treatment just a day before delivering a historic speech on D-Day.

The 75-year-old monarch demonstrated immense determination, putting on a brave face during public engagements to inspire courage among his loved ones.

Despite his health issues, he was eager to lead commemorative events, showing his commitment to honoring veterans.

The King was reportedly treated at a London hospital on Tuesday but still managed to travel to Portsmouth the following day, where he delivered an 8-minute speech. This appearance came after his medical team cleared him to carry out his public duties in April. However, there are growing concerns from health professionals and Queen Camilla about Charles’s dedication to his work, urging him to prioritize adequate rest to support his recovery.

After delivering his speech, which praised D-Day veterans and highlighted their bravery, Charles quickly traveled to Normandy, France, for the 80th anniversary celebration. His medical team advised him to shorten this appearance by 45 minutes due to the demanding schedule. Queen Camilla was visibly moved by her husband’s heartfelt tribute to the veterans, leading them to engage with some of the invited D-Day heroes.

Notably, Prince William stepped in to represent his father at the international ceremony on Omaha Beach, demonstrating a united front within the royal family during this difficult time. Royal insiders revealed that doctors were closely coordinating with royal staff to ensure that every event attended by the King was appropriately managed, leading to necessary compromises to safeguard his health.

In a heartfelt moment during a national commemoration event, King Charles addressed a group of veterans, expressing profound gratitude for their service during World War II. When asked about his health, he assured a soldier that he was doing well. His remarks reflected deep appreciation for the wartime generation, acknowledging their heroism in overcoming fascism.

Despite his health challenges, King Charles remains committed to participating in key royal events, including the upcoming Trooping the Colour parade, scheduled for June 15. However, there is speculation regarding whether Princess Kate will appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony, especially since she was unable to attend a significant royal event as Colonel of the Irish Guards just days earlier.

This situation highlights the delicate balance King Charles is attempting to maintain between his royal responsibilities and health needs as he navigates this critical period in his life.

In a surprising turn of events, Prince William has officially invited his brother, Prince Harry, to return to the UK, citing an emotional dream about their late mother, Princess Diana. The announcement, which has captured the attention of the media and royal watchers alike, marks a significant moment in the ongoing saga of the royal family’s dynamics.

Prince William revealed that he experienced a vivid dream in which Princess Diana spoke to him, urging him to mend the rift with Harry. “In the dream, my mother appeared so clearly,” he shared in a statement. “She conveyed a powerful message about love, family, and the importance of unity. It was as if she was reminding me that life is too short for unresolved issues.”

This heartfelt revelation comes amid ongoing tensions between the two brothers, which have been exacerbated by Harry’s move to the United States and his candid memoir detailing his struggles with royal life. Many royal observers have speculated about the possibility of reconciliation, but this dream appears to have ignited a new hope for healing.

In the wake of William’s announcement, Harry has expressed gratitude for his brother’s gesture. Sources close to the Duke of Sussex reveal that he has been reflecting deeply on his own relationship with the family and is open to the idea of returning to the UK for a family gathering. “Harry feels a strong connection to his mother, and this invitation feels like a sign,” the source stated.

Royal commentators believe this could be a pivotal moment for the royal family. Historian Anna Whitelock noted, “Diana was always the glue that held this family together. If her memory can inspire these two brothers to reconcile, it could have a profound impact on the monarchy moving forward.”

The invitation comes at a time when the royal family is navigating its own challenges, including public scrutiny and calls for modernization. By reaching out to Harry, William not only honors their mother’s legacy but also demonstrates a willingness to embrace change within the monarchy.

As preparations begin for a potential family reunion, fans of the royal family are hopeful that this new chapter will bring peace and understanding. In a world where family ties often seem fragile, the dream of Princess Diana serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of love and forgiveness.

Stay tuned as we follow this developing story, hopeful that the bond between the brothers will be strengthened in the spirit of their beloved mother.
