The Duke of Sussex, 40, has faced scrutiny from a think tank over his US visa application following the revelation of his past drug-taking in his 2023 memoir Spare.

Prince Harry has been issued a chilling warning just days after Donald Trump was elected US President this week.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, first moved across the pond to America in 2020 after stepping back from life as a senior member of the Royal Family with his wife Meghan Markle.

His visa was approved at the time, however revelations of his past drug-taking in his bombshell memoir Spare last year stirred up debate as think-tank group The Heritage Foundation believes the prince had been treated differently to ordinary citizens.

The lawsuit launched by the foundation, which wanted to force the publication of the duke’s visa documents, was terminated in September.

Now, the return of Trump to the White House may make things difficult for the Duke of Sussex, should the Heritage Foundation try again to establish again what Harry wrote on his visa documents. The President-elect has previously spoken about his dislike for the 40-year-old duke and his wife, 43, declaring he is not a “fan” of her. He also vowed not to protect Harry in his visa row and to take any “appropriate” action if the prince had not been truthful in his visa application.

Now, Mike Howell, the director of the Oversight Project, the foundation’s investigative arm, has said the prince “needs to go”.

According to the Daily Mail, Howell said: “Markle can stay. He needs to go.”

Despite concerns for the prince, a friend of Prince Harry’s told The Daily Mail that the duke wants to stay in California, a place he now considers home. Since 2020, he has been living in a £11 million mansion in Montecito with his wife and their children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

The friend reportedly said: “Harry’s in California. It’s his home and where he expects to live indefinitely – with Meghan.

“They are very happy in California. They are both focused on the work which they are doing here.”

Prince Harry and Meghan have not addressed Donald Trump’s victory in the election this week.

They also stayed away from making any political comments during this election campaign, following their remarks in 2020 where they urged voters not to “reject hate speech”.

Although they did not name Trump at the time, some commentators argued the comment may have been directed at the now-President-elect and in support of Joe Biden.

The Duchess of Sussex is unlikely to have been delighted by the outcome of a major world event this week.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expected to be feeling “miserable” this week after Donald Trump was re-elected US President on Tuesday night.

While neither the Duke nor the Duchess of Sussex backed a candidate ahead of the US presidential election, Meghan had criticised Mr Trump in an interview released before she met Harry. Recently, the US President-elect also spoke unfavourably about the couple. Mr Trump has also been creating concern for both Harry and Meghan after comments that he may investigate further into Prince Harry’s US visa application, which earlier this year was at the centre of a lawsuit launched by the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank.

Speaking on The Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential, The Mail on Sunday’s Charlotte Griffith said: “[Harry] will definitely be keeping his head down and definitely burying it in the sand and possibly even running away to Portugal where he’s got a new house. I think that house in Portugal is going to come in very handy over the coming months, not least because Trump said if I get made President he will have nowhere to hide.”

She also said: “Harry and Meghan are the King and Queen of woke, and America is not a very woke place when Trump is in charge, so Meghan will be distraught. I’m amazed she didn’t come out in support of Kamala Harris, she didn’t say anything, but I think she will be feeling pretty miserable this week.”

A royal expert has alleged that the late Queen was left furious after Meghan Markle claimed that she had asked for permission to call their daughter Lilibet.

Meghan Markle “copyrighted” the name Lilibet before giving birth to her daughter, a royal expert has claimed.

They also blasted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after a new royal book alleged that the late Queen Elizabeth was left furious following their claim she had given them her blessing to call their baby daughter Lilibet.

Lilibet was first used by the late monarch when she was just a toddler and unable to pronounce her own name properly. Her grandfather King George V would call her Lilibet imitating her own attempts to say Elizabeth and that’s how the name stuck.

Charles III: New King, New Court, The Inside Story by Robert Hardman, segments of which have been serialised by the Daily Mail, read: “One [aide] privately recalled that Elizabeth II had been ‘as angry as I’d ever seen her’ in 2021 after the Sussexes announced that she had given them her blessing to call their baby daughter ‘Lilibet’, the Queen’s childhood nickname.”

Reports at the time claimed the late Queen was consulted about the name, but did not feel able to say no whereas the BBC reported that a Palace source alleged the monarch was not asked by the Sussexes whether they could use the name.

At the time, the Sussexes’s lawyers reportedly sent legal letters to the BBC and other publishers saying the claim was false and defamatory, while their spokesperson insisted they spoke to the late monarch.

According to Hardman, Queen Elizabeth allegedly told Palace aides: “I don’t own the palaces or the paintings, only my name, and now they’ve taken that.”

Royal biographer Angela Levin blasted the couple over leaving the late Queen ‘furious’ and called their actions “appalling”.

She told GB News: “That’s an incredibly sad comment, I think one of the reasons she felt that way was because it was discovered that Meghan, even before Lilibet was born, had taken out the names officially so that she could use them to buy things and to identify them.

Presenter Eamonn Holmes asked: “What do you mean? They’d copyrighted the name?” Levin replied: “Yes. Before she had Lilibet, I think that was awful for the Queen because she gets drawn into owning organisations due to the name being so unique.

“This name is just for her because she couldn’t say Elizabeth when she was young. It’s also for her family, her parents, and the Duke of Edinburgh, they all called her it out of love, it’s very intimate.

“People who don’t know about that will think that the Queen is supporting this, let’s buy it. I think it’s appalling.”

Buckingham Palace and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been contacted for comment.

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.

In astunning televised interview, the surgeon who attempted to save Princess Diana after her tragic accident has broken his long-held silence, revealing new and alarming details surrounding her final moments. The doctor, whose identity remained concealed for years, shared that when he arrived at the scene, Princess Diana was still alive, breathing faintly but showing signs of life. His revelation has reignited public speculation and fueled questions about what might have transpired during those critical moments in the tunnel.

During the broadcast, the surgeon recounted that his medical team did everything within their power to stabilize Diana, with his immediate objective being to transport her safely to the hospital. However, what came next was what he referred to as a “disturbing” development: “There was a strange tension at the scene, and certain individuals seemed intent on limiting our access or stalling our response,” he claimed. Though he refrained from specifying who these individuals might have been, he hinted at the possibility that certain actions, either intentional or orchestrated, may have delayed essential medical assistance.

The surgeon’s statement included allegations that an unidentified individual was quietly observing the scene, appearing to make calls and give subtle directives to others. The doctor described this person as someone who was “very calm yet oddly detached,” an observer whose presence raised suspicions. “It seemed as if there was a hidden agenda, as though someone wanted to control what was happening in that tunnel,” he said, suggesting that this interference might have had an impact on the princess’s chances of survival.

Following the surgeon’s revelation, discussions about possible conspiracies have resurfaced. Diana’s death, which many had speculated about over the years, has been a focal point of theories involving potential foul play. The doctor’s statements add weight to the suspicions that there might have been external influences affecting Diana’s final hours, leaving the public and the media questioning if all details of that tragic night were ever fully disclosed.

The public reaction has been a mix of shock, outrage, and renewed sorrow for Princess Diana. Many are now calling for a re-examination of the events surrounding her accident, hoping that, through these new revelations, a more complete picture will emerge. As authorities deliberate on whether or not to reopen investigations, the surgeon’s words have already deepened the mystery surrounding Diana’s tragic fate, keeping her memory alive in the hearts of millions.

In a recent report by the Sunday Times, it has been revealed that Prince William may not invite Prince Harry to his coronation. The article, published to suggests that the Duke of Cambridge is keen to ensure his crowning ceremony—set to occur after the death of King Charles III—has a distinctly different atmosphere, potentially including Harry’s absence.

The report also highlights ongoing tensions within the royal family. King Charles III is reportedly frustrated by Harry’s legal battles over security arrangements and his avoidance of direct communication with the king, fearing Harry might use these conversations to lobby for better protection. Sources indicate that Charles is reluctant to speak with Harry, concerned that any discussion could appear in “Spare” Volume Two.

Further complicating matters, Charles’ friends express doubts about the possibility of repairing the fractured relationship, with concerns about regaining trust. One former aide questions Harry’s current purpose in life, given his significant roles in the military, Invictus Games, and fatherhood, and suggests he may be struggling with his direction post-royal life

A close friend of Harry believes he made the right decision to leave the royal family but acknowledges that achieving their original goal of maintaining a semi-royal status has been elusive. Meanwhile, Harry is said to have found a new source of support in Canadian music mogul David Foster and his wife Katharine McPhee, who have become like family to him.

The estrangement is so severe that William and Kate reportedly did not acknowledge Harry and Meghan’s message of sympathy following Kate’s cancer diagnosis

Andrew Faces Pressure to Vacate Royal Lodge

Prince Andrew is reportedly under renewed pressure to vacate Royal Lodge, with King Charles III expected to end the estate’s security contract in the fall. The Sun on Sunday reports that this move could force Andrew out of the property. Despite speculation about his future, Andrew’s supporters claim he intends to retain the lodge and pass it on to his children.

King Charles Might Reveal Cancer Diagnosis

King Charles III has not yet disclosed the specifics of his cancer diagnosis but may do so in the future, according to The Sun. While the king’s condition is improving, aides have reportedly been cautious about allowing Harry to stay with him at Sandringham, fearing the possibility of secondary infections.

Charles Pays Tribute to Queen’s Confidante

King Charles III has expressed deep sadness over the death of Lady Airlie, Queen Elizabeth’s former lady-in-waiting, who passed away at 91. Charles praised her dedicated service and close bond with the late Queen.

In an extraordinary turn of events, Prince Harry has allegedly revealed the results of a DNA test concerning his firstborn son, Archie. The shocking admission has sent ripples through royal circles and left the public in disbelief: Archie is reportedly not Prince Harry’s biological child. Despite this revelation, Prince Harry made it clear that his love for his son remains unchanged.

A Royal Shockwave
The British royal family has always been subject to speculation and scrutiny, but this latest development has caught even the most seasoned royal watchers off guard. According to rumors, Harry and Meghan had chosen to take a private DNA test for Archie amidst swirling doubts and rumors about their son’s paternity. These whispers have circulated in gossip circles for years, but the couple had previously dismissed them as baseless. However, Harry’s recent revelation has added an unexpected twist.

The Importance of Family
Prince Harry’s reported statement about Archie is not just a personal reflection but a testament to his dedication as a father. For Harry, family has always been at the heart of his decisions. His commitment to creating a loving environment for Archie and Lilibet has remained unwavering, despite his departure from royal duties and the intense media scrutiny that has followed his family since he and Meghan moved to California.

This is my family,” Harry allegedly declared. “Archie and Lilibet will always be the children I’ve raised, protected, and loved unconditionally. Nothing will change that.”

Meghan Markle’s Role
While Prince Harry has reportedly come forward with these revelations, sources close to the family indicate that Meghan Markle has remained supportive throughout the process. Meghan, always a protective mother, has focused on ensuring that Archie and Lilibet grow up in a secure and loving environment, far from the pressures of the royal spotlight.

The couple’s relationship is said to have grown even stronger in the face of such challenges. “Meghan is everything to me,” Harry shared. “Together, we’ve built a life for our children that isn’t based on titles or bloodlines, but on love and unity.”

The Public’s Reaction
The world is no stranger to shocking royal revelations, but this one may top them all. Fans of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have expressed their support, emphasizing that love is what truly defines a family. Social media has been abuzz with messages of encouragement for the couple, with many praising Harry’s openness and honesty.

Conclusion

While the news of Archie’s paternity may be shocking, Prince Harry’s response speaks volumes about his character and priorities as a father. The love he has for his children, regardless of DNA, shows that family is about more than biology – it’s about unconditional love and support. As the royal family continues to navigate these changes, one thing remains clear: Prince Harry’s bond with Archie is stronger than ever.

Recent reports suggest that Meghan Markle may have been left feeling somewhat embarrassed after Prince Harry’s former girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, attended the high-profile wedding of billionaire David Wintour and Georgia Owen in Venice.

Bonas, who dated Prince Harry from 2012 to 2014, was spotted looking elegant in a burgundy dress with a thigh-high slit as she arrived by boat to the extravagant ceremony held on the Isola della Rosa. The lavish event on the Venetian island was undoubtedly a far cry from the modest nuptials of Markle and Prince Harry in 2018.

A source close to the situation indicated that Markle has previously struggled with feelings of jealousy over Harry’s continued connections to his ex-partners, despite their relationships having ended. In 2019, it was reported that Markle had set strict boundaries regarding Harry’s contact with his former flames after their own royal wedding.

Bonas, who introduced Harry to her cousin Princess Eugenie, has maintained a close friendship with the royal family even after her split from the prince. She was present at Harry and Markle’s wedding, and the bonds of their friendship appear to have endured.

The insider suggested that Markle may have been dismayed to learn that Bonas remains in touch with Harry, with the source speculating that the Duchess of Sussex could have been enraged upon hearing the news of Bonas’ appearance at the high-profile Venetian wedding.

Bonas, who welcomed a son with her husband Harry Wentworth-Stanley in 2022, seems to have moved on to “bigger and better things,” as one commentator noted. This could potentially serve as a source of consternation for Markle, who has faced criticism over her own style choices and attempts to court attention.

As the two women navigate the complexities of their respective relationships and public profiles, the dynamics between them and Prince Harry continue to be a subject of intense fascination and speculation within royal circles.
