Meghan Markle is ‘secretly planning’ to conceive a third child with Harry as ‘a gift’ to the Royal Family, to return to the UK in a ‘glorious fashion’

 

 

In a moment of pure delight, Meghan Markle has revealed that she has given birth to twin sons, adding to the joy of the royal family and captivating fans around the world. The announcement, made through a heartfelt post on social media, marks a significant milestone for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are already parents to two children: Archie and Lilibet.

The twins were born in a private hospital in California, where the couple has settled since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020. Meghan’s delivery reportedly went smoothly, and both boys are said to be healthy and thriving. The joyous news has been met with widespread excitement, as fans and well-wishers flooded social media with congratulatory messages

In her announcement, Meghan expressed her elation, stating, “We are overjoyed to welcome our twin sons into the world. Our hearts are full, and we can’t wait to embrace this new chapter as a family of six.” This statement encapsulates the couple’s commitment to nurturing a loving environment for their growing family.

Adding to the excitement, Prince Harry shared a lighthearted moment by posting the DNA test results of the twins, playfully confirming their lineage. The results indicated that both boys are indeed his biological children, dispelling any speculation that may have arisen. In his post, Harry wrote, “Proud to announce that our family has just doubled! Here’s to new adventures with our two little princes.” The couple’s joy is palpable, and their playful approach to parenting continues to endear them to the public.

The birth of the twin boys not only brings happiness to the Sussex household but also expands their family dynamic in a significant way. With Archie, born in 2019, and Lilibet, born in 2021, the addition of two more children creates a vibrant and bustling family life. Meghan has always expressed her desire for a large family, and this dream has now become a reality.

As news of the twins spreads, royal observers are keenly interested in how this development will impact the family dynamics within the royal household. The couple has been vocal about their intentions to remain connected to the royal family despite their departure from official duties. Their growing family may serve to bridge some of the gaps that have arisen in recent years, potentially fostering greater harmony among relatives.

Social media has been abuzz with excitement following the announcement. Fans have created hashtags such as #WelcomeTwins and #SussexFamily, celebrating the joyous occasion. Many have taken to Twitter and Instagram to share their support and happiness for Harry and Meghan, reinforcing the couple’s enduring popularity.

As the couple navigates the challenges of parenting four young children, they remain dedicated to their philanthropic efforts. Harry and Meghan have continued to advocate for various social issues, including mental health, equality, and climate change. Their commitment to these causes, alongside their roles as parents, underscores their desire to make a positive impact in the world.

In the days to come, it is expected that Meghan and Harry will share more details about their twins and their plans for the future. With a growing family and a commitment to their causes, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are poised to embrace the challenges and joys that lie ahead.

The birth of their twin sons marks not just a personal celebration for Harry and Meghan, but also a significant moment for the royal family and their supporters. As the world watches, the couple’s journey continues to unfold, offering a glimpse into the modern monarchy and the enduring power of love and family.

 

 

 

It looks like our favorite publicity-obsessed former actress and her increasingly awakened prince may be hitting a breaking point. Yes, we’re talking about what might just be the crumbling of a royal “house of cards.”

The way she orchestrated her dramatic exit from the Royal Family was only the beginning. And now, it seems our prince might finally be cutting ties with the one and only “Duchess of Deception.” There was her father, Thomas Markle, who gave her everything: he paid for her education, supported her acting dreams—only to be tossed aside. Then, her first husband, the man who stood by her during her early acting days—gone. And let’s not forget her supposed best friend, Jessica Mulroney.

 

Where is she now? The most shocking betrayal, though, was what she did to the Royal Family. Her Majesty the Queen welcomed her with open arms, offering her a platform. And how was this repaid? By dragging the institution through the mud in that now-infamous Oprah interview. We all remember that, don’t we?

Here’s the exciting part: our sources suggest that Harry might finally be waking up. The recent birthday messages from King Charles and Prince William seem to have struck a chord.

Did you catch William’s documentary? The way he spoke about his childhood memories was heartfelt and touching. It’s clear that, as Meghan’s Hollywood dreams begin to falter, Harry might be remembering who he really is.

Watching Prince William carry himself with dignity alongside Catherine, even during her recovery, is a striking contrast to the ongoing media circus around Meghan. Catherine handles her privacy with grace—no drama, no media leaks.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s team can’t seem to go two days without planting something new about her. Word on the street is that Harry’s had enough. The constant spotlight-chasing, the PR games, and calculated moves—it’s becoming too much.Sources close to the couple suggest these separation rumors might not just be rumors. Harry is reportedly making quiet inquiries about spending more time in the UK. And honestly, it might be about time.

 

Remember the old Harry? The cheerful, loyal prince who made us all laugh, served his country, and worked alongside William and Catherine—that’s the real Harry. Not the shell of a man we’ve seen in recent years.

But here’s the kicker: Meghan won’t go quietly. Rumor has it, she’s already strategizing her next move. No doubt her PR team is working overtime to craft the perfect “victim” narrative. But perhaps, finally, Harry sees through it.

Tragic Brit popstar Liam Payne lost his life after falling from his hotel room balcony on Wednesday, October 16.

The former X-Factor star suffered “serious injuries that were incompatible with life” after plunging from the third floor at the luxury Casa Sur Palermo hotel shortly after 5pm local time.

In an official statement given to The Associated Press, Argentinian police disclosed that the father-of-one had “jumped from the balcony of his room”, apparently dispelling any notions of an accidental fall or foul play.

As local cops probe the singer’s last 24 hours, police made the shocking announcement that his ex-girlfriend had been staying at the same hotel the week he died. Liam had been in Argentina for a holiday with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, which was scheduled for five days but ended up lasting two weeks, reports the Mirror.

The 25-year-old TikToker decided to fly home then, telling her followers: “I was so ready to leave. Love South America, but I hate staying in one place for too long and we were supposed to be there for five days, turned into two weeks and I was just like, ‘I need to go home’.”

It’s been claimed that Liam then had checked into the deluxe Casa Sur Hotel suite alone three days before he died. According to local news reports, he was asked to leave his previous hotel. Here, we look back at his final moments in Argentina before his sad death.

In 2010, Nicole Scherzinger supported One Direction through the X-Factor and to worldwide fame- and kept in touch with Liam Payne until the day he died. Regarding the fateful day, Andrew Lloyd Webber now told how Nicole is still texting the star.

Andrew, who composed the music for the Broadway musical Sunset Blvd., which stars Nicole, said: “I suppose something that hasn’t been said, and I suppose I could say, is that, of course, she mentored Liam, from One Direction.” Speaking to Billboard, he said: “On the Wednesday when he died, she was still texting him that day.” Andrew revealed that even after hearing of Liam’s death, she still turned out to perform as Norma Desmond in the Broadway production.

He praised: “The fact that she even did the show at all is extraordinary. I mean, she is an amazing, amazing woman. She is without any question one of the finest performers I’ve ever worked with.”

Nicole has since paid tribute to Liam, sharing a snap of the pair alongside Kelly Rowland while filming for their latest show. “Dear Liam, I will forever cherish and treasure the time we shared together, from fifteen years ago when One Direction was born, right up until just a few weeks ago. It was such a blessing to get to work with you recently. We shared the same love and passion for music and I will forever remember the meaningful and joyful conversations we had.”

The hotel manager who called emergency services before Liam fell to his death has claimed the singer’s “ex-partner” was also staying there. Speaking to an Argentinian TV programme, Esteban Grassi said: “He was seen alone, but his ex-partner was around.”

When asked, “So she was staying at the hotel too?” on the El Trece show Telenoche, he replied “Yes” before adding, “A floor above, yes.” A small clip of the programme featuring part of the interview has been shown online and also mentioned in other Argentinian media outlets.

It was unclear who Mr Grassi was referring to in his claim. He is understood to have been among three hotel workers prosecutors revealed they had questioned.

In the hours before the devastating incident, Liam spent time with Aldana Serrano, 31, and Lucila Goitea, 27, at the Casa Sur Hotel. The group arrived at the swanky hotel around 11:30 a.m. local time on Wednesday and headed to Liam’s suite.

But they left five hours later at 4pm – just one hour before Liam tragically fell from his balcony. During Liam’s final moments, he was said to be arguing over money with a mystery woman in the lobby of his hotel. He tragically fell 45ft, landing in the inner courtyard of the hotel.

Prosecutors confirmed they had questioned five people, including two women who had been with Liam in the hours before his death for a “reconstruction of his last hours”, she added: “He was with two women in his room where there was access to drugs. I’m not going to say their surnames.

A heartbreaking final photo shows Liam entering the Casa Sur Hotel in the upmarket Palermo district, where mere hours later, he would fall to his death from the third floor.

It’s believed the 31-year-old had been under the influence of drink or drugs, local media reports. In a desperate call made to emergency services, hotel staff requested ‘urgent’ support, with a receptionist telling the phone operator: “We have a guest who’s off his head on drugs and is destroying everything in his room. We need someone to come.”

After the line disconnected, the receptionist continued, “I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger. The room has a balcony, and we are afraid he might do something.” Just seconds later, the receptionist made the following heartbreaking clarification: “Just send an ambulance. Only an ambulance.”

Witnesses close to the hotel have claimed that Liam had endured a “psychotic episode” in the moments leading up to his death. An office worker who was close to the Casa Sur hotel claimed that the on-site masseuse said Liam was acting erratically.

Josefina, a One Direction fan, told América TV: “I was working in an office next to the hotel when we started hearing lots of sirens and lots of noise. A colleague went down to see what was happening and was able to speak to the hotel masseuse, who said there was a man being aggressive, breaking things, having what appeared to be a psychotic episode, and looking like he was out of it on drugs.”

Residents staying in the hotel have described hearing “loud” and “violent” noises coming from Liam’s room in the hour before his death. Speaking to the BBC shortly after the shocking incident, fellow hotel guest Doug Jones said: “I thought they were working on the room. There was a lot of noise, like heavy lifting, like banging, a lot of loud, violent noises, I thought.”

He added: “I saw hotel people going in and out of that room, so I thought they were doing work on the room.” However the loud noises returned, “So about 4pm, 4.30pm, I started hearing some more noise, I was still doing work,” he said. “I heard a really loud, violent scream around 4.45pm, 5pm.”

The police arrived just before 5pm, but reported hearing a loud bang from the courtyard as they arrive, at 5.04pm. A short while later, the tourist saw the “road full of cops,” as the full tragedy on Wednesday evening began to unfold.

A search of Liam’s hotel room uncovered “what appeared to be narcotics, alcohol, destroyed objects and furniture”, according to detectives. Photos purporting to show inside the room where Liam spent his final hours have been confirmed by news outlets, including La Nacion and Clarin.

Cassidy, who had been by Liam’s side during some of his toughest times, revealed the emotional struggle she had endured as she tried to help Liam in the lead up to his untimely death.

In a raw and honest statement, she shared: “I’ve been trying to stop this from happening for so long, but today it slipped away.” Her words have left fans and loved ones deeply moved, shedding light on the hardships the couple faced behind closed doors.

Kate’s confession has added a layer of poignancy to the already tragic news of Liam Payne’s death. As fans around the world mourn the loss of the beloved singer, Cassidy’s words have revealed the invisible battles Liam was fighting in his personal life. Despite the fame, success and adoration he garnered from millions of fans around the world, it’s clear that Liam was struggling with challenges that even those closest to him were unable to prevent.

According to sources close to the couple, Kate had been heavily involved in trying to help Liam overcome his emotional issues. The pair had reportedly grown closer in recent months and Kate had offered unwavering support as Liam navigated his personal and professional life. But despite her best efforts, the heartbreaking outcome was something neither she nor anyone else could prevent.

“She loved him so much,” said a friend of Kate’s. “She was always there for him and did everything she could to keep him safe. But sometimes, as much as you love someone, you can’t save them from themselves.”

Kate Cassidy’s emotional revelation has sparked further discussion about mental health and the unseen battles that many people face, especially those in the public eye. The pressures of fame, combined with personal challenges, can be overwhelming, and Liam’s story is a tragic reminder of how important it is to reach out for help.

The Payne family released a brief statement, saying, “We are heartbroken beyond words. Liam was a bright light in our lives, and we will forever miss him. “We ask for privacy as we navigate this incredibly difficult time.”

Her confession of having tried so hard to protect him from his struggles serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities of mental health and the importance of supporting those in need.

Malgré les embûches concernant sa santé, Florent Pagny va de l’avant. Alors qu’il sera coach dans “The Voice” en 2025, le chanteur reviendra en novembre avec un livre partagé avec sa fille Ael, photographe.

Comment va Florent Pagny ? Depuis la médiatisation de son combat contre le cancer, l’état de santé de l’artiste préoccupe ses très nombreux fans, lui qui a déjà été touché par deux récidives ces derniers mois. L’échec des différents traitements a poussé le chanteur à prendre la décision d’arrêter les soins, comme il vient de le révéler dans le podcast “Addiktion”. « Là, il n’y a plus de traitement. Même l’immunothérapie. On s’est rendu compte un jour que ça ne marchait pas, il y avait des rechutes, on a laissé tomber » explique l’interprète de “Savoir aimer”, qui s’est tourné vers « la médecine chinoise » pour atténuer les symptômes et douleurs liés à la maladie. Le chanteur vit désormais avec « des perspectives de trois mois », rythmées par des examens médicaux pour suivre l’avancée du mal qui le ronge. Pour autant, Florent Pagny ne veut pas mettre sa carrière entre parenthèses. Après le beau succès de l’album “2bis”, écoulé à plus de 200.000 exemplaires, et son retour surprise sur scène, il reviendra siéger dans le fauteuil rouge de “The Voice” en 2025, dont il sera l’un des coachs avec Zaz, Vianney et Patricia Kaas.

Sortie le 6 novembre

En parallèle des tournages de l’émission, Florent Pagny assurera très prochainement la campagne promotionnelle d’un projet inédit réalisé avec sa fille Ael, âgée de 25 ans et fruit de ses amours avec l’artiste peintre argentine Azucena Caamaño. Un an après l’énorme succès de son autobiographie arrachée à plus de 200.000 unités, le musicien dévoilera le 6 novembre un nouvel ouvrage en libraires. Intitulé “Pagny par Ael”, il s’agit d’un livre de photographie retraçant les trois dernières années de la vie du chanteur, vues à travers l’oeil de sa fille. L’idée est née en 2021, alors que Florent Pagny débutait sa tournée des 60 ans. Sauf qu’un événement imprévu est venue bouleverser les contours du projet : la découverte de son cancer des poumons. S’en est suivi des mois de combat, d’apparitions médiatiques scrutées, l’enregistrement de “2bis”, une tournée des festivals… Autant de moments « aussi rares que précieux » immortalisés par l’objectif d’Ael. « Pudique, elle trouve le moyen, grâce à ses photos, de rester auprès de son père à chaque instant et de lui dire tout son amour » indique un communiqué des éditions HarperCollins, qui publiera ce livre préfacé et légendé par le chanteur lui-même.

Un projet commun à travers duquel « une histoire se raconte » entre Florent Pagny et Ael. Père et fille prennent d’ailleurs la pose côte à côte sur une publication de Mathieu Johan, ancien candidat de la “Star Academy” devenu agent artistique et attaché de presse dans le monde de la littérature. Le livre “Pagny par Ael” est d’ores et déjà disponible en précommande.

Prince William is set to appear on screen on Wednesday and Thursday this week in a documentary about homelessness, a subject about which his late mother was passionate

Princess Diana would be angry with Harry for leaving Prince William to carry on her legacy alone, a royal expert claims.

Phil Dampier also believes the two warring brothers will never reconcile – despite William mentioning Harry by name for the first time in six years in a new documentary set to air tonight.

The Prince of Wales, 42, features in the ITV programme, called Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, which concludes on Thursday. In it, he hears stories from those in need as he tackles homelessness, something about which Diana was also passionate.

But Mr Dampier believes Diana would be furious Prince Harry has not followed the legacy with his brother. The journalist and author said: “She was determined to show them that not everybody lived in palaces, and not everybody was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Diana let them sleep rough overnight when they were younger, to show them what it was actually like.

“It’s been seen by some as an olive branch to Harry because he’s mentioned him for the first time in six years in this documentary. I don’t see it that myself. I think the rift between them is still as wide as ever, unfortunately.

“They both could have done so much good for something which she was very anxious for them to to do and so I’m sure she’d be absolutely devastated.”

Homelessness was close to Diana’s heart, and she once took both her sons as young boys to a homeless shelter in London. William said he wanted to focus on the subject in the documentary because he said he has faced criticism about his privileged lifestyle and many residences.

It’s thought the Prince has not mentioned his brother’s name in public or in an interview since 2018, when the two, alongside the Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle, were interviewed at the Royal Foundation Forum, The Sun reports.

But though he name drops Harry in the programme, Mr Dampier believes royal fans shouldn’t get too excited by this. He added: “It’s just a rather sad indication of the fact that something which they could have worked together on, and something which they both experienced at a young age, they’re no longer doing. It’s just left William on his own, and Harry’s not joining in, so I don’t see this as an olive branch.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s brand was branded ‘toxic’ by a PR expert, as the couple appear to take on a new approach.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new approach to promoting their projects separately is down to the fact that their Sussex brand has become “toxic” through the years, a PR expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a string of solo appearances this month in what has been seen as a new take on their “dynamic”.

Harry went on a solo tour to New York, London and Southern Africa to promote his own causes, while Meghan was seen attending events on her own which held special links to her projects.

Now PR expert Ed Coram James claimed that the Sussex couple’s brands are stronger as individuals rather than as a couple after their joint ventures turned out to be “toxic and thus commercially untenable”.

He told GB News: “Since their marriage, Harry and Meghan have had a distinct brand. That brand is based on a duo.

“Call it ‘Harry and Meghan’, call it ‘the Sussexes’, call it whatever you like. The fact is that for years they have become synonymous with one another.

“And, since the famous Oprah interview, in which they took a simmering disagreement between themselves and the rest of the Royal Family and essentially declared all-out-war, that brand has been steadily becoming more toxic and thus commercially untenable to the point where not that many major brands are going to be rushing to write them a large cheque based on their brand value.

“When combined, the Sussexes brand is, from a PR perspective, toxic. But, when separate, they have a genuine chance of creating an entirely separate brand, with completely different labels.”

Meanwhile, Sky News Australia senior reporter Caroline Marcus agreed and said Harry and Meghan’s initial strategy of jointly speaking against the royals made the public perceive them negatively, which is a scenario that is unlikely to change any time soon.

She said: “The contrast [between Harry and Meghan’s ventures and the King and Queen’s latest royal tour] is so stark because that sense of duty the King and Queen have compared to these two pretenders who couldn’t even master enough enthusiasm for the Royal Family, the traditions that Harry was lucky enough to be born into and Meghan to be married into, it’s just put off so many people”.

However, the latest shift in the couple’s business strategy was dubbed as a “twin-track approach” by one of their friends, according to People.

An insider echoed the statement and told the publication: “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.”

« La cause est bonne, le mec est dans un traquenard ». Dans une interview donnée au Parisien , dimanche 13 octobre, Florent Pagny a annoncé avoir prêté sa voix dans une chanson en soutien à Paul Watson. Le fondateur de Sea Shepherd est en détention au Groenland depuis juillet 2024 et sous le coup d’un mandat d’arrêt international émis par le Japon.

« Si avec ma petite voix je peux être utile, je le fais », déclare le chanteur. À l’image de We Are the World en 1985, qui avait réuni des artistes contre la faim en Afrique, ou de l’hymne des Enfoirés, Florent Pagny serait accompagné de plusieurs artistes, dont le chanteur Cali, formant ainsi un véritable groupe de musique caritatif. L’objectif est clair : faire la pression sur les autorités afin d’obtenir la libération du militant écologiste Paul Watson. Fin juillet, l’homme de 73 ans a été arrêté par les autorités danoises alors qu’il était en route avec son navire, le John Paul DeJoria, pour intercepter un nouveau navire-usine baleinier nippon. Il est désormais maintenu en détention au Groenland jusqu’au 23 octobre dans l’attente de son extradition et son arrestation a depuis fait l’objet d’une forte vague de soutien. « Ce mec-là, il se bat depuis les années 1970 pour défendre les baleines. Si on ne fait rien pour lui, l’humanité va avoir des problèmes », soutient le chanteur de 62 ans.

« Je m’engage rarement, parce que je ne suis pas un militant, je ne fais de politique », souligne Florent Pagny. Cette fois, la cause lui tient à cœur. Au large de la Patagonie, où il vit depuis une vingtaine d’années, le chanteur va parfois observer les baleines. « C’est à 250 km de chez nous, à Puerto Madryn. Entre les jets et les nageoires, je me suis déjà retrouvé à compter soixante baleines autour de moi. Magique », raconte-t-il.

Le chanteur Francis Lalanne est à l’initiative de cette chanson. Ce dernier a connu le succès au Groenland il y a dix ans avec son titre Suli Avunga. Il s’est envolé pour le territoire de la couronne danoise il y a deux semaines pour soutenir Paul Watson et « mobiliser un maximum de personne dans le monde artistique ». Proche de Dieudonné et figure de la sphère complotiste pendant la crise sanitaire, Francis Lalanne est depuis plusieurs années un personnage qui suscite la controverse mais cela n’a visiblement pas freiné Florent Pagny: «Je n’ai jamais adhéré à ses délires. Mais je le connais depuis trente-cinq ans et quand il m’envoie cette chanson, je fais abstraction de tout ça ».

Selon Le Parisien, d’autres artistes seraient prêts à enregistrer leur voix. Parmi eux : Véronique Sanson, Anne Sila, Arielle Dombasle, David Hallyday, Manu Lanvin, Fabienne Thibeault, Yannick Noah, ou encore le groupe Tryo. D’après l’avocat M^e Emmanuel Ludot, l’un des piliers de ce projet, une version japonaise de la chanson a également été enregistrée « pour la diffuser auprès de l’opinion publique là-bas ». Aucune date de sortie de la chanson n’a été précisée.

« Un héros qui a passé sa vie à défendre les baleines contre les Japonais. »

Brigitte Bardot

Depuis son arrestation, Paul Watson a reçu le soutien d’un grand nombre de personnalités de la culture. «C’est un scandale, je dirai même que c’est une infamie » s’est indigné Pierre Richard dans une vidéo publiée sur les réseaux sociaux. « C’est un type extraordinaire, un héros qui a passé sa vie à défendre les baleines contre les Japonais, contre les harpons japonais », a déclaré Brigitte Bardot. Joe Duplantier, cofondateur du groupe Gojira, était dès le 12 août à Copenhague pour manifester devant le Parlement danois. La pétition créée par le journaliste Hugo Clément, a été signée par plus de 300.000 personnes, dont Pierre Niney et Stéphane Bern.

A catalogue from an auction of Princess Diana‘s dresses that was held just two months before her death is expected to sell for up to £5,000 later this month.

The auction took place on June 25, 1997 – just weeks before the royal passed away following a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, France.

The limited edition book from the event – where more than 79 designer gowns raised £2.57 million for charity – is expected to fetch between £3,000 to £5,000.

Purple, Moroccan leather-bound guides were created for the sale, which soon became a collector’s item.

The 250 books were all signed and personally numbered by Princess Diana and she also inscribed that the ‘wonderful’ gathering was inspired by her son Prince William, who was 15 at the time.

The number 104 catalogue will be sold alongside an official invitation to the ‘Dresses’ from the Collection of Diana, Princess of Wales’ auction, and other related papers, including the printed sale results.

Elena Jackson, vintage fashion specialist at Ewbank Auctions, described the book as a ‘treasured keepsake’ that is in ‘excellent condition’.

‘This is a wonderful reminder of what a caring person the late Princess of Wales was,’ she explained.

‘And just how skilled she was at creating an event of this type for the benefit of the vulnerable.

‘This treasured keepsake of one of the final acts of charity that she brought to the world has been kept in excellent condition and is very rare indeed’.

Luxury items from designers Louis Vuitton, Yves St Laurent and Hermès will also be going under the hammer on January 26.

Designs by leading names in British fashion, including Ossie Clark, Zandra Rhodes, and Biba will also be up for sale.

It comes after it was revealed last year that Princess Diana’s iconic ‘revenge dress’ is set to go up for auction early this year.

Worn by Diana on the same evening that the then-Prince of Wales admitted adultery on national television in June 1994, the custom-made replica of the black, off-the-shoulder dress by London-based designer Christina Stamboulian is likely to fetch between £,8,000 and £12,000.

Left Bank Pictures, the production company behind the historical drama, is selling the objects at Bonhams in February.

Taking place in London on Wednesday, February 7, the sale will come after the sixth and final series of the popular Netflix show has aired.

The first half of the sixth series of The Crown, covering the period from Diana’s death in 1997 up until the marriage of Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, was released on Thursday, while the second part will follow on December 14.
