Prince William is speaking up to beat homelessness — just like his mom, Princess Diana, did.

 

On Monday, the Prince of Wales visited Lambeth in south London to promote his new Homewards initiative, which will provide $3.8 million to six different locations as seed money for an ambitious plan to make homelessness “rare, brief and unrepeated.”

Speaking at the Mosaic Clubhouse mental health charity, Prince William 41, said his inspiration for Homewards came from making visits to homeless shelters as a boy with his mom, Diana.

“The visits we made, left a deep and lasting impression,” said William. “I met so many extraordinary people and listened to so many heart-breaking personal stories. Too many people have found themselves without a stable and permanent place to call home.”

“Through these visits, I have seen first-hand the breadth and complexities of homelessness,” he continued, before mentioning his undercover role selling the Big Issue magazine on the streets of London, in aid of the homeless.

“A personal thank you to people such as Dave Wilson, who is here today and who gave me an induction in selling the Big Issue [magazine] last summer,” he said.

Over the next two days, Prince William will tour all six of the U.K. locations where the Homewards project is taking place. The homelessness initiative will be one of the projects that define his working life for many years to come, a legacy for both him and his late mother.

 

Prince William – and the Royal Foundation he shares with his wife, Kate Middleton – believes that bringing together local authorities, non-profits and other groups into local coalitions can generate new ideas and collaborations.

He is following the example of Finland, where homelessness has effectively been beaten, as a place that showed it can be done, insiders say.

“Over the next five years, I believe that we have a unique opportunity to develop innovative new solutions and scale tangible impact. This will inspire belief throughout the U.K. — and beyond — that homelessness can be ended for good,” said William, while praising the already “strong tradition of collaboration” between local authorities and both the charity sector and private business in the U.K.

“Lambeth will become part of a network of six flagship Homewards locations across the U.K., all committed to creating and delivering a plan to prevent homelessness in their areas,” he added. “They will all put collaboration at the heart of the response, forming locally led coalitions of committed people, organizations and businesses.”

“Their in-depth knowledge of the specific issues and requirements of their local areas will drive forward the work. And we will be here to support you. Bringing together an unprecedented network of individuals and organizations with expertise, resources, and the commitment to end homelessness.”

“We will support you to deliver sustainable change and I am so grateful to you all for joining us on this journey,” said William. “Through Homewards, we will demonstrate that together we can finally end homelessness.”

 

Prince William seems to be in a very tough situation as he has decided to ditch Kate Middleton again in heartbreaking move.

 

 

The Princess of Wales will attend the men’s singles tennis final at Wimbledon without her husband on Sunday, if she receives green light from her doctors to make the visit.

The future King, is patron of Britain’s Football Association, won’t be supporting his wife as he is set to travel to Germany that day to cheer on the English soccer team in the final of the European Football Championship, which will see England square off against Spain.

William has previously attended two of the matches of his favorite game without Kate Middleton.

If England win, it will be their first international tournament victory since winning the World Cup in 1966.

Princess Kate is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, and, in that role, has presented trophies at the tournament since 2016.

She would “dearly love” to attend the ceremony this year. Her office have not ruled it out and Wimbledon have said they will announce if she is going to be there on the day of the finals. The men’s final is on Sunday and the women’s final is on Saturday.

However, it seems to be difficult for Kate make solo appearance at the event as William will not be there to support her. It was the third time in the tournament that England have snatched a late victory.

Buckingham Palace has also shared King Charles humorous message of congratulations to England’s soccer team after the result came in, urging them to “secure victory before the need for any last minute wonder-goals” for the sake of “the nation’s collective heart rate and blood pressure.”

It is to mention here that England’s decisive goal was scored in the 91st minute by a player who had been substituted on as the game drew to a close.

 

Remember when the Palace initially announced Kate Middleton’s post-surgery break and the response was relatively chill? Times have changed and there is no chill to be found, none at all, not even an iota.

 

 

Cut to several months and one baffling attempt at Photoshop later, conspiracies about Kate’s whereabouts now range from “she’s growing out bangs” to “she and Prince William are getting a divorce.” So…[awkward silence]…are they? All signs point to absolutely not, but let’s go over the origins of this theory.

People Zeroed in on Kate’s Missing Wedding Ring

Okay, first things first, let’s discuss the fact that Kate’s ring is missing in her Mother’s Day photo.

It’s definitely unusual for Kate to be seen without her signature sapphire, but Prince William being credited with taking the pic initially seemed to calm everyone down. However! Once Kate’s many bizarre Photoshop errors were clocked, questions were raised. Specifically: If this image isn’t trustworthy, can we really expect the caption to be?

There’s also the fact that Kate—who certainly wasn’t being subtle when it came to Photoshop—didn’t take time to add in her ring, which left some suggesting the move was intentional. As columnist Sarah Vine put it in the Daily Mail, the ring’s absence seemed to be “deliberate, a statement in its own right. If it’s not there, could that be because she doesn’t want it there? It doesn’t bear thinking about.”

Even Kate’s friends were said to be “completely baffled,” with one acquaintance telling the Daily Beast, ““It’s fair to say we were all completely baffled when the picture came out with the wedding ring missing, especially as it was Photoshopped. It just seemed guaranteed to get people asking questions about the state of the marriage.”

 

In a significant development within the British royal family, King Charles has reportedly decided to sell Prince Andrew’s residence, the Royal Lodge, for an estimated £50 million following extensive repairs and renovations. Queen Camilla has expressed her endorsement of the decision, highlighting the need to optimize the Crown’s resources amid ongoing financial considerations.

 

Meanwhile, sources indicate that Prince Harry strongly agrees with the move, aligning with the monarch’s strategic goals.

The Royal Lodge, valued at £30 million, has been a subject of contention as Prince Andrew, embroiled in controversy related to his association with Jeffrey Epstein, has been reluctant to vacate the premises despite offers of alternative accommodations. According to reports from The Sun, King Charles aims to return the property to Crown Estates, which would oversee its restoration and subsequent rental to generate revenue for the monarchy and the country.

An insider familiar with the situation remarked, “It makes sense for Royal Lodge to be handed back to Crown Estates, which can pay for the much-needed repairs and renovations. It could then be rented to earn money for them, the King’s coffers and the country rather than being a drain on everyone’s resources.”

Speculation within the real estate sector suggests that renting out the historic Royal Lodge could fetch as much as £1 million annually, given its size and illustrious royal pedigree. This move aligns with King Charles’s broader strategy to streamline royal finances and ensure fiscal responsibility in managing royal assets.

The decision comes amid reported tensions between King Charles and Prince Andrew over the latter’s prolonged stay at the Royal Lodge, currently shared with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. Recent discussions have hinted at a potential relocation to Frogmore Cottage, previously occupied by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as a viable alternative.

A close associate of King Charles shared insights into the situation, stating, “Unfortunately, if Andrew refuses to leave within a reasonable timeframe, then the King may be forced to reassess the whole package of support he provides. The duke would be required to fund the lion’s share of his security, accommodation, and lifestyle costs all on his own – which, given the sums involved, is highly unlikely to be possible in the long term.”

Rumors circulating within royal circles have suggested that Prince William may have considered the Royal Lodge for his family’s use, adding further complexity to the ongoing discussions surrounding the property’s future.

In light of these developments, Queen Camilla’s endorsement of King Charles’s decision underscores a unified approach within the royal family towards addressing financial sustainability and operational efficiency. Prince Harry’s support also signifies solidarity with his father’s vision for modernizing royal responsibilities and expenditures.

As the royal household navigates these transitional phases, the impending sale of the Royal Lodge marks a pivotal moment in King Charles’s reign, characterized by pragmatic financial stewardship and strategic asset management. The outcome of these deliberations will undoubtedly shape the future landscape of the monarchy’s financial portfolio and underscore its commitment to adaptability in a changing world.

For now, the eyes of the public remain fixed on Buckingham Palace, awaiting further developments in this unfolding chapter of royal history. As details continue to emerge, the decisions made today will resonate across generations, shaping the legacy of King Charles’s reign and the enduring traditions of the British monarchy.

Princess Charlotte Adorably Reacts to Mom Princess Kate Receiving a Standing Ovation at Wimbledon. The young royal is clearly proud of her mother.

 

Kate Middleton received a moving standing ovation as she arrived at this year’s Wimbledon men’s final match amid her ongoing cancer treatment, and no one was more proud than her beaming daughter, Princess Charlotte.

 

On Sunday, July 14, the Princess of Wales arrived at Wimbledon in what was only her second official public appearance since she announced she has been diagnosed with an unspecified type of cancer. While Middleton has made it a point to attend Wimbledon every year as the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, this year her attendance was something of a looming question mark given her health.

So it came as little surprise that when Middleton arrived in a purple Safiyaa dress featuring a ruched bodice and softly flared skirt, the crowd gave her a standing ovation and her daughter reacted in the most Princess Charlotte way possible.

As Wimbledon attendees rose to their feat, Princess Charlotte beamed with pride while looking up at her mom. In response, Princess Kate waved back to the crowd, reportedly smiling as she grew visibly moved and emotional by the gesture.

In an interview with People, Karwai Tang—a photographer who was also present and who captured the emotional moment—said that the royal “usually comes in” and “walks down the step and into her seat.”

“She doesn’t normally stand and wave,” Tang told the publication. “But she stood for a while and took it all in. For her to acknowledge it and take in the applause was special.”

To mark her second official public appearance, Middleton appeared to post a “welcome back” message of sorts on Instagram, along with a few pictures of the royal at Wimbledon.

“Great to be back at @Wimbledon!” read the caption, which was shared on Kensington Palace’s official Instagram account. “There’s nothing quite like The Championships ?.”

On Saturday, July 13, Kensington Palace confirmed Kate Middleton would in fact attend the men’s final at this year’s Wimbledon, despite her continuing to undergo preventative cancer treatments. Previous reports indicated that while the royal had her heart set on attending, ultimately her husband, Prince William, would be the one to decide whether or not it was safe and appropriate for the Princess of Wales to make an appearance.

Middleton has been a long-time fan of both tennis and Wimbledon, the oldest and arguably most prestigious tennis tournament in the world.

“It is no secret that she would dearly love to be there, but when you are having chemo, as she herself said, there are good days and bad days,” a friend close to the royal recently told The Daily Beast .

“A lot depends on the timing of the treatments. She made it to Trooping the Colour, so if she can make Wimbledon, she will.”

Thankfully, it all worked out and Princess Charlotte, and the world, got the opportunity to see Princess Kate enjoy a place and a championship near and dear to her heart.

 

Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, had been concerned about her mother’s demanding schedule even before the royal was sidelined by a recent horse-related injury.

 

On June 24, the palace announced that 73-year-old Princess Anne had sustained minor injuries and a concussion following an incident at the Gatcombe Park estate in southwest England.

Her medical team indicated that her head injuries were consistent with an impact from a horse’s head or legs. This incident led to temporary memory loss for Anne.

“For the last several years, Zara Tindall has been worried that the palace has been relying too heavily on her septuagenarian mother,” Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” told Fox News.

“She has a point,” Andersen added. “Princess Anne is routinely described as the hardest-working royal, racking up 457 engagements last year alone. She has always been fondly thought of as inexhaustible — even invincible. When Zara saw her mother lying in a hospital bed suffering from a severe concussion and memory loss, she was understandably shaken.”

 

Andersen highlighted the current challenges faced by the royal family, noting: “With both King Charles and Princess Kate battling cancer at the same time, it’s hard to escape the feeling that the royal family is falling apart physically. Princess Anne’s injury only underscores that perception.”

“This means that more and more responsibility will fall on Prince William’s shoulders and Queen Camilla’s. Keep in mind that the queen turns 77 next week, and King Charles is justifiably concerned about the toll all this stress is taking on her health as well,” he added.

 

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has reportedly responded cautiously to Meghan Markle’s recent attempts to reconcile, following Meghan and Prince Harry’s outreach amidst Kate’s ongoing battle with cancer.

 

 

insiders disclosed Meghan Markle’s concerns for Prince Harry’s well-being, prompting her to quietly reach out to Kate Middleton in hopes of fostering peace between them.

According to a royal insider, Meghan is determined to mend fences with Kate and eliminate any lingering tensions.

“She (Meghan) wants to make peace with Kate. She doesn’t want any bad blood between them,” the source revealed, underscoring Meghan’s intentions amid the family’s public challenges.

Meghan and Harry’s olive branch coincided with Kate Middleton’s announcement in March about undergoing chemotherapy following her cancer diagnosis.

The couple publicly extended their support, issuing a statement wishing “health and healing for Kate and the family.”

Despite Meghan’s efforts, Kate’s response has reportedly been reserved. “Kate’s response has been polite at best.

She hasn’t exactly encouraged or embraced Meghan,” the insider disclosed, hinting at the complexities of their relationship.

The source also emphasized Kate Middleton’s unwavering support for her husband, Prince William, emphasizing her commitment to standing by him in all aspects of their public and private life.

As the dynamics within the royal family continue to evolve amidst personal challenges and media scrutiny, Meghan Markle’s outreach and Kate Middleton’s cautious response highlight ongoing efforts towards reconciliation and familial harmony in times of adversity.

 

King Charles III and his beloved wife, Queen Camilla, have announced that they are expecting a child. This joyful news comes despite royal warnings, adding a surprising and delightful chapter to the royal family’s story.

 

 

The announcement has been met with excitement and well-wishes from across the globe, as people eagerly anticipate the arrival of the newest addition to the royal family.

Queen Camilla revealed King Charles was ‘thrilled’ to return to royal duties this week and joked that she had been ‘trying to hold him back’ during his cancer treatment.

The Queen, 76, spoke about the monarch’s dedication to his work’ during her reception at Buckingham Palace to relaunch the Wash Bags Project today.

The monarch, 75, returned to public duties yesterday after doctors said they were pleased with his progress following his cancer diagnosis in February.

Giving insight into how Charles has been feeling the past few months, Camilla added: ‘I’ve been trying to hold him back.’

In response, Ms Tidman joked: ‘Good luck with that.’

The King – who is still undergoing cancer treatment – was accompanied by the Queen, who is president of cancer support charity Maggie’s, and the pair were presented with posies after meeting with staff and patients in the cancer centre.

Charles’ engagement came after doctors gave him the all-clear to restart public events will raise awareness of the importance of early diagnosis.

The monarch also hopes the trip can highlight some of the innovative research supported by Cancer Research UK, which is taking place at the hospital.

Today, Camilla welcomed 300 guests at Buckingham Palace to recognise people who support victims of sexual assault.

Camilla, 76, also delivered a hard-hitting speech to attendees including Cherie Blair, Carrie Johnson and Theresa May in which she thanked them for ‘standing up and committing yourselves to bringing an end to these heinous crimes’.

The reception was also held to relaunch her Wash Bag Project, which provides a wash bag of toiletries, donated by Boots and distributed by In Kind Direct, to people who have been affected by rape and sexual abuse.

 

In a shocking turn of events within the British royal family, Prince William ascended to the throne following the passing of his father, King Charles III. Almost immediately after becoming king, William made a bold and unprecedented move by expelling Queen Camilla from the royal family. According to reports, William confronted Camilla, stating firmly, “You are not my mother,” as he ordered her removal from royal duties and residence. This decision has sent shockwaves through the monarchy and the public, reigniting long-standing tensions surrounding Camilla’s role within the royal family.

 

 

The relationship between William and Camilla has always been a subject of speculation and, at times, controversy. Camilla’s marriage to King Charles, following the death of Princess Diana, William’s beloved mother, has been a sensitive issue for the family. Despite Charles and Camilla’s marriage in 2005, many have long wondered how William and his brother, Prince Harry, truly felt about their stepmother. This decisive action by King William suggests that any hopes of reconciliation or a warm relationship with Camilla may have been more strained than previously believed.

Camilla, who had been Queen Consort alongside Charles, played a significant role in royal affairs during her husband’s reign, but her position was always controversial given her history with Charles during his marriage to Princess Diana. Her expulsion by William marks a stark departure from the efforts made by King Charles to integrate her fully into the royal family and solidify her public image.

Public reactions to William’s decision have been mixed. While some have praised his loyalty to his late mother and his assertiveness as the new king, others have expressed concern about the impact this could have on the stability of the monarchy. Camilla, despite the initial public backlash, had gradually earned a measure of respect for her charitable work and commitment to her royal duties. Her sudden removal has raised questions about the future direction of the royal family under William’s leadership.

As King William begins his reign, this early action sets a tone of decisiveness and signals a potential shift in the way he plans to govern the monarchy. The expulsion of Camilla is likely to have lasting implications for the family’s dynamics and public image, as the new king seeks to define his own legacy, distinct from that of his father’s.

 

In a dramatic turn of events, Camilla Parker Bowles was reported to have burst into tears upon learning of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s plan to unveil what they claimed was her secret involvement in Princess Diana’s tragic accident. The news sent shockwaves through the British royal family and the public alike, reigniting old controversies and stirring up a storm of speculation and intrigue.

 

 

The revelation comes amid ongoing tensions within the royal family, where personal grievances and long-buried secrets seem to resurface with alarming regularity. According to sources close to the royal household, William and Kate have been gathering evidence that purportedly links Camilla to Diana’s fatal accident in 1997. This dramatic accusation has caused a significant rift between the current royal generation and Camilla, who has long been a controversial figure due to her relationship with King Charles III and her involvement in Diana’s life and death.

Camilla’s emotional reaction underscores the gravity of the situation. Reportedly, she was overwhelmed by the accusation and the prospect of her alleged involvement being brought into the public eye. This emotional outburst highlights the personal toll that the ongoing drama has taken on her. For Camilla, who has spent years trying to reshape her public image and integrate herself into royal duties, this new scandal threatens to unravel her progress and tarnish her reputation further.

The plan by William and Kate to expose Camilla’s alleged secrets appears to be part of a broader strategy to confront what they see as unresolved issues surrounding Diana’s death. For years, both William and Harry have expressed their desire to bring clarity to the circumstances surrounding their mother’s tragic end. The involvement of Kate, a figure widely regarded for her diplomacy and commitment to charitable work, adds another layer of complexity to this unfolding drama. Her role in this plan suggests that it is not just a personal vendetta but a strategic move aimed at addressing perceived injustices.

The timing of this development is also noteworthy. With the royal family undergoing significant changes and facing public scrutiny over various issues, the resurfacing of Diana’s legacy and the allegations against Camilla could have far-reaching implications. It threatens to distract from the current royal engagements and overshadow the positive contributions made by members of the royal family.

As the story continues to develop, the public is left to ponder the accuracy and motives behind these explosive claims. Whether or not there is truth to the allegations against Camilla remains to be seen, but the emotional and political ramifications are undeniable. The incident highlights the continuing impact of Diana’s legacy on the royal family and raises questions about how past grievances can influence current dynamics within one of the world’s most scrutinized institutions.

In the midst of this turmoil, Camilla’s emotional reaction serves as a poignant reminder of the personal and human aspects behind royal scandals. It underscores the complex interplay between public perception and private reality within the royal family, and the extent to which past events continue to shape present relationships and reputations.
