David Beckham was spotted standing alone in a stand at a non-league football ground – as son Romeo got booked in a 5-3 defeat.

The dad-of-four swapped glitzy Miami for the Somerset town of Clevedon to support the 17-year-old as he turned out for Millfield School on Wednesday, 12 February.

Beckham was seen standing alone for much of the match – keenly watching as Romeo attempted to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

Clad in a Canada Goose coat, jeans and baker boy hat, the 44-year-old made his way around the ground to get the best view of the action after paying £3 to get in.

But the school side left the friendly fixture empty-handed as Clevedon Town ran out as winners – with Romeo ending up in the referee’s book.

Dad David generously posed for pictures with opposition players and fans after the final whistle at the Everyone Active Stadium.

He also took the time to speak to Romeo and his teammates before they left the stadium.

Clevedon Town tweeted following the match: “David Beckham it was an absolute pleasure having you watch our U18s tonight.

“The boys were made over you took the time for a photo. Massive thanks to Millfield for the friendly and all the best guys.”

Clevedon had been buzzing with rumours before the match after former England captain was seen filling up his car at a local petrol station.

Lucky Nick Wilson managed to snap a selfie with the star.

He said: “I was just very shocked to see him in a local petrol station buying some snacks!

“Although I’m a Liverpool supporter I’ve always followed him – and everyone loves Beckham.

“He was very approachable and didn’t mind me asking for a selfie.”

Other residents commented on social media to bemoan their bad luck at missing the icon.

One man said: “I would loved to have met him with my kids. A true inspiration for them to look up to.”

Another added: “This is amazing. Gutted I wasn’t able to grab a pic and a quick chat. Proper man crush on him since he burst onto the scene.”

A woman posted: “I wish I needed fuel!”

Beckham is the current president of Inter Miami CF and co-owner of Salford City.

He played for several of the world’s biggest clubs during a glittering career, including Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Emmerdale’s Paddy Kirk star Dominic Brunt appeared on Wednesday’s Loose Women to talk about his current storyline on the hit ITV soap with Mandy Dingle

Actor and Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt halted his Loose Women interview on Wednesday after a hilarious blunder.

The soap legend, 54, who has played loveable vet Paddy Kirk since 1997 on the hit ITV soap, is part of a huge storyline this week as his character prepares to tie the knot to Mandy Dingle. However, in true soap style, a shock bombshell leaves their nuptials in jeopardy.

Only recently, Mandy Dingle resorted to desperate measures amid her serious debts and set up a findom account, which is a financial dominatrix. However, her secret side hustle was exposed this week by father-in-law Bear and on Wednesday night he reveals all to a blindsided Paddy, who contemplates whether to go ahead with his marriage or not.

Talking about the storyline on Wednesday’s Loose Women, Paddy actor Dominic said: “It’s interesting because he’s not bothered about that [the findom account]. He says: ‘You could be a laptop!’” before realising he’d made a blunder to which the audience burst out laughing as the interview came to a brief pause over the humorous mistake. Dominic then quipped: “Can we do it again, is it live?”

Following Bear’s bombshell on Wednesday night, it’s time for the big day but Paddy reveals he doesn’t want to marry Mandy. Although Bear is thrilled by the decision, Marlon still wonders if he can change Paddy’s mind. Later, dressed in her wedding gear, Mandy and Vinny share an emotional moment in the salon to which Bear enters to sour the mood, revealing that he was Mandy’s caller and Paddy now knows all about her findom business. Mandy is left devastated as she rushes to apologise to Paddy… can she save her wedding?

Earlier this year, Paddy and Mandy got engaged following a tumultuous time for the couple. Prior to the proposal, Mandy was upset that Paddy, who had previously humiliated her at an event, kissed his former flame Chas Dingle. To hit back at him, she kissed doctor Liam Cavanagh to get back at her partner. However, despite the drama, they decided to get back together when Paddy surprised Mandy in his Prince Charming outfit. When they were home later, Paddy decided he didn’t want to lose Mandy and he proposed to her.

This isn’t the first time the duo have been married and they tied the knot back in 1999. However, back in the 90s, Mandy and Paddy’s marriage came to an end after she had an affair with her college lecturer, with Mandy soon leaving the village and not returning until 2019.

Loose Women star Gloria Hunniford is mourning the death of husband Stephen Way, who has passed away at the age of 85

Gloria Hunniford’s husband of more than 20 years has died at the age of 85.

The Loose Women star, 84, wed the businessman in 1998, and she said he would leave “the most enormous void, not only in my life”.

Stephen Way, who was a renowned celebrity hairdresser, passed away on Tuesday following a “heroic fight” with an illness, the family announced.

Gloria and Stephen celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary last year. Speaking of her loss for the first time publicly today, Gloria said: “Stephen was a gentleman and a giant of a man, who will leave the most enormous void not only in my life, but our entire family. He was an incredibly kind, generous, and caring man, with a delightfully quirky sense of humour, which remained till the end. We had a tremendously happy 25-year marriage and did so many beautiful and exciting things together that I will always cherish.”

Stephen was described as a “wonderful husband, father and grandfather” and Gloria added: “It’s a great shock and words cannot express my sadness at this time. A bright shining light has dimmed, and he shall be missed at every turn.”

It was Stephen who broke the news of the death of her former husband Don Keating as she came off stage after hosting a TV chat show in 1997, she revealed that year.

When they started dating, he owned an hairdressing salon in New Bond Street, Mayfair.

Last year, Gloria revealed Stephen had been left partially blind in his right eye after suffering a second stroke. She had spoken of his numerous health battles and in 2020 praised the NHS for saving his life. Stephen was involved in a taxi accident in 2019, leaving the base of his spine fractured.

In 2004, Stephen had a heart attack and in 2012 he had his first stroke. Speaking of the incident, Gloria previously said: “He said something about the garden to me, he told me there was something the matter with his left arm and said it was like cotton wool and he had no control over it.”

He had previously been Gloria’s support following the tragic death of her daughter in 2004. Caron, who had followed in her mum’s footsteps and became a TV presenter, died from breast cancer aged 41 in 2004.

Earlier this year she explained her the pain of Caron’s death “never goes away”. Speaking of how Stephen helped her at the time and with tough periods in her life, Gloria previously said: “Stephen’s a lovely man and so supportive of me in every way. It’s very important to look after your relationship, especially when it’s a second marriage, and my concession is that I don’t work every day so we have time together.”

Gloria previously said losing a child was “the deepest sense of loss you can ever face”.

“Because I have personally lost parents, I’ve lost a former husband. Yes, it’s all relative to the situation and relative to the person and relative to where you are in your life. But I think to lose a child sends you into the darkest black hole imaginable and one which I never thought I’d get out of.”

Gloria and Stephen exchanged wedding vows at St Peter’s Church in Kent in 1998. They continued the celebrations at the majestic Hever Castle. Last year, the couple returned to the same spot to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. She told Hello Magazine at the time that her memories of that special day are as vivid as ever, and the secret to their happy marriage is “love, laughter and good conversation”.

She assed: “I can remember walking into the church, filled with family and friends, and the candles all lit – it was wonderful. We’ve often said we would love to live it all over again.

“Of course, there is physical attraction, but our relationship is full of kindness and humour. We enjoy talking to each other. Talk, talk, talk – that is a wonderful thing.”

Sinitta has opened up about her relationship with ex-boyfriend, Simon Cowell, who she hinted had recently married Lauren Silverman, who is the mum of his son, Eric

Sinitta shocked Loose Women fans today when she revealed Simon Cowell called her while he was in bed with his partner, Lauren Silverman.

Simon, 64, dated Sinitta, 60, for two years in the eighties before going on to have an on-off relationship with the singer for 20 years. He then met Lauren, who is the mum of his son, Eric, and who has reportedly tied the knot with Simon, according to Sinitta.

The So Macho star was talking about her close relationship with the media mogul alongside Loose Women panellist, Dame Kelly Holmes, who said her pal had called Simon on New Years Eve.

Speaking about the exchange, Kelly said: “They’re such good friends. She called him on New Year’s Eve while he was in bed with Lauren.” Correcting her, Sinitta said: “No, he called me.” Kelly continued: “We were all on FaceTime and it was lovely. That’s how great your friendship is.”

Last week Sinitta, who revealed today (August 19) she was loved up with her boyfriend, who she’s been dating for a year and a half, hinted that Simon and Lauren were now married after she dubbed the mum-of-two”Mrs Cowell” in a recent press chat.

The X Factor judge popped the question to his socialite girlfriend Lauren in December, 2021, less than two decades after the pair first bumped into one another while on holiday in Barbados.

Since his proposal, Simon and Lauren have not been spotted exchanging their vows and a date has yet to be announced. But his ex-partner and good friend Sinitta has recently let slip that the couple have already tied the knot.

The British-American singer appeared to spill the beans when she was asked if Simon had set a date for his wedding with Lauren. “Oh, are they not married yet?”, she asked.

This left Woman Magazine stunned as Sinitta was then asked if Simon and Lauren could have eloped. “I’m not saying anything, but I’m sure they are married. I call her Mrs Cowell anyway, so they may as well be”, she affirmed.

However, speaking to the Mirror, the Toy Boy star later clarified: “Apologies to everyone, I would like to clarify a comment I made in response to a question about when Lauren and Simon might tie the knot. When asked, I playfully responded by pretending to be confused and joked.”

She added: “My intention was to deflect the question with humour, not to suggest that they had secretly married. To be clear, if they had married in private and I were aware of it, I would respect their privacy and not disclose such information.”

The Mirror has contacted Simon’s rep for comment on this story.

Ruth Langsford has been spending her weekend with someone special amid her divorce from Eamonn Holmes – and has wrapped up to be ready for any weather condition

Ruth Langsford has been connecting with nature this weekend as she embraces her new life following her shock divorce announcement.

On Saturday, the Loose Women icon was wrapped up and ready for whatever the weather threw at her as she went for a walk in the park. Flashing a smile from beneath her all weather coat, Ruth revealed that she was with her true love as she got some fresh air and connected with nature.

She revealed she was walking her beloved dog, Maggie – who she has been battling for custody of following the news her marriage to Eamonn Holmes, 64, is over. Ruth uploaded content of herself with Maggie on Instagram Stories on Saturday and wrote: “Walking in the rain with the one I love!”

And the ladies enjoyed even more time together on Sunday – with Ruth sharing footage of Maggie merrily skipping her way through a park while on a lead. She uploaded the clip to her Stories along with a caption stating: “She’s sprightly today!” And she added an animated sign reading: “Autumn walk.”

It seems that dressing her dog to match her is another way to ensure fans can be aware just how much Ruth loves her pet. As she also revealed, via another photograph of herself wearing her warm coat: “Lots of you asking about my coat… I put the wrong tag yesterday. It’s from @wearedrybones. Super warm, super cool and waterproof! Maggie’s got one too!”

Ruth and Eamonn shocked their fans in May this year when it was announced they plan to divorce after 14 years of marriage. They confirmed their split through a representative, who said: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”

A bitter custody battle was then reported – as both broadcasters want to be able to claim ownership of their beloved dog. A source previously told The Sun: “Maggie is like a daughter to them. They dote on her. But she’s getting on and they know she needs stability.

“It’s a case of who can give her that. Eamonn adores her and Maggie’s been such a support during his health woes. The thought of giving her up is heartbreaking to him. But if Ruth is able to get out and about and walk her more, then it may well be that she gets Maggie in the split.

“They are adamant this won’t come to what Ant and Lisa went through and they won’t be getting lawyers involved.” Ruth and Eamonn are actual parents to a son named Jack, who is 22. However, prior to the split, Eamonn joked that his wife loved their pooch more than she loved him, as he quipped: “I genuinely have never experienced affection like it.”

 

Sydney officials were left ‘disappointed’ by one very unusual aspect of King Charles’s visit to New South Wales Parliament on Sunday – and it’s all to do with a toilet!

On what was Charles and Camilla’s first full day of engagements on their royal tour, the monarch met with representatives and gave a short speech as he attended the launch of an exhibition marking the 200th anniversary of the Legislative Council, Australia’s first parliament.

But it was his failure to take a loo break that raised eyebrows. According to the Australian Daily Telegraph , MPs were desperately hoping to finally get their money’s worth after costly renovations to the toilets 30 years ago in advance of a visit by the late Queen Elizabeth.

It seems no expense was spared for the 1992 visit, with the toilet specifically upgraded ahead of Her Majesty’s arrival to ensure it was ‘soundproof’. The renovations are believed to have cost some AUS$18,000 (£9,263) at the time, the equivalent today of around $40,000 (£30,000).

The toilet in question is located in the Upper House President’s office suite, which was allocated to the Queen and Prince Philip as a place to ‘rest’ in between their parliamentary engagements. Staff were even told to ensure the Queen’s ‘preferred drinks’, including her favoured brand of gin, were available should she wish for refreshment. But insiders later confirmed there was ‘no evidence’ that the Queen ever used the facilities.

Ahead of the King’s visit, MPs had joked that their Upper House President, Ben Franklin, had just ‘one job’ to do for when the King attended parliament. “Ben has one KPI – ensure the King uses the toilet so we can get our money’s worth,” one cheekily told the newspaper.

But it was all in vain. In the end, His Majesty was in the building for just 20 minutes, meeting and greeting representatives and giving a short speech before departing – having not used the bathroom.

As the couple jetted into Australia , they praised their host’s “extraordinarily rich cultures and communities”. In a message posted on the royal family social media channels, Charles and Camilla said: “Ahead of our first visit to Australia as King and Queen, we are really looking forward to returning to this beautiful country to celebrate the extraordinarily rich cultures and communities that make it so special. See you there!”

Their very first official engagement took part on Sunday at St Thomas’ Anglican church in North Sydney. It was in fact the third day of their six-day tour of Australia – but apart from some handshakes upon landing on Friday night, it was the public’s first chance to see the couple after a rest day on Saturday. The schedule has been designed not to overly tire the king, who is being treated for cancer.

15 Times Meghan Markle Was Caught Being RUDE On Camera (Watch Before Deleted)

Megan Markle’s transition from Hollywood actress to Duchess of Sussex has been a captivating journey filled with both admiration and scrutiny. Since her entrance into the royal family, Megan has consistently found herself at the center of public debate, particularly concerning her demeanor and behavior during royal engagements. While she has been praised for her advocacy work and attempts to modernize the monarchy, several instances have raised eyebrows and sparked controversy, revealing a side of her that many interpret as less than gracious.

One of the most notable incidents occurred during a royal visit to Nigeria, where Megan and Prince Harry engaged with local students and teachers. A moment caught on camera showed her seemingly dismissive attitude toward a teacher who was trying to speak with her. Eyewitnesses reported that she appeared uninterested, even turning away mid-conversation. This moment was amplified by a viral video clip in which she curtly told someone, “don’t talk to me.” Critics quickly seized on this footage, labeling her behavior as rude and disingenuous, reigniting discussions about her connection with the people she meets and her perceived authenticity.

Megan’s public appearances have also seen her grappling with royal protocols, particularly regarding expected etiquette. During a formal event with Queen Elizabeth II, she crossed her legs at the knee, a significant breach of traditional royal decorum. In royal circles, women are typically expected to sit with their legs together, maintaining a poised image. While some defended Megan, arguing that such details are trivial, others viewed her actions as a reflection of her American upbringing and a desire to challenge royal norms.

Another memorable moment unfolded during the Trooping the Colour ceremony, where Megan turned to chat with Harry while military planes flew overhead. This breach of protocol drew the disapproving gaze of Harry, who subtly reminded her to face forward. Critics viewed this as a clear sign of her struggle to adjust to royal expectations, emphasizing the intense scrutiny that accompanies every action within the royal family.

Megan’s interactions with those around her have also been closely monitored, with some moments drawing significant criticism. For instance, during a wedding in Jamaica, she was perceived as dismissive toward a waiter who approached her with drinks, reportedly waving him off without acknowledgment. Given her own biracial background, many were quick to call out this behavior as problematic, suggesting it highlighted a troubling disconnect between her privileged position and the respect expected in such interactions.

Her relationship with Prince Harry has also come under scrutiny, particularly during a public appearance where she appeared to slap his hand away. Observers interpreted this as an assertive, even harsh gesture, raising questions about her role within their relationship. This moment added to ongoing discussions about her perceived control over Harry, contributing to a narrative that portrays her as someone who struggles with the nuances of royal life.

Megan’s eagerness to be at the forefront was further evident during a charity polo match, where she was seen repositioning another woman away from Harry during a photo opportunity. Critics argued that this display of power was disrespectful to the charity chairperson and detracted from the event’s purpose. Such actions underscore the disconnect between her public persona and the humility expected of royals, adding to the ongoing debate about her suitability for royal duties.

Moreover, her behavior during official events has often been characterized by moments that prioritize her image over royal tradition. During one community project visit, she was caught clapping for herself, creating an awkward moment that seemed to shift the focus from collective achievements to her personal accolades. This self-promoting gesture raised eyebrows and further distanced her from the self-effacing behavior commonly associated with royalty.

Even her recounting of her first meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, where she humorously mimicked an exaggerated curtsy, sparked criticism. Many viewed this light-hearted portrayal as a sign of a lack of respect for royal traditions and the significance of such a moment, suggesting that Megan’s demeanor may reflect a deeper struggle to navigate the expectations of her new role.

Throughout these incidents, Megan Markle’s journey has been marked by a tension between her desire for authenticity and the demands of royal life. Each moment caught on camera has not only shaped public perception but has also revealed the complexities of merging personal identity with the responsibilities that come with being a member of the royal family. As she continues to carve out her path, the world watches closely, eager to see how Megan will balance her modern approach with the rich traditions of the monarchy. In a landscape where every gesture is scrutinized, her story remains a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those in the public eye, particularly when navigating the intricate dynamics of royal expectations and personal aspirations.

The History Behind The Strathmore Rose Tiara The Strathmore Rose Tiara is a beautiful and storied piece of royal jewelry, steeped in history and symbolism. It has become a symbol of elegance and romance, not only for its intricate design…

 

It may seem like an eternity ago, but there was a time when Prince William and Prince Harry had plenty of reasons to bond.

 

 

“At one point, William hated the press more than Harry did,” author Omid Scobie told E! News in an exclusive interview discussing his new book Endgame, which looks at the brothers’ ongoing estrangement and a variety of other issues that threaten the future of the monarchy. “So for things to be at this point is not only sad, but it speaks to William as a leader, as heir to the throne.”

And not in a particularly good way.

Since the January publication of Harry’s memoir Spare, a continuation of the controversy that began with his explosive interview with Meghan Markle with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021 (which continues to haunt the royal family today), Scobie said, “there has yet to be a conversation of any value or substance with his own brother.”

E! News has attempted to reach out to Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Harry’s representatives for comment on Scobie’s report in the book but has not received a response.

William and Kate Middleton ignored Endgame-related questions from reporters on the red carpet at the Royal Variety Performance on Nov. 30. And while in Dubai to attend COP28, when asked how he was doing, King Charles III replied, “I’m doing very well, more or less,” joking that he was “recovering from the shock” of turning 75.

In Spare and in multiple interviews, Harry maintained that he essentially wrote the book not to expose the inner workings of the royal family, but to explain to his own father and brother (who consistently rebuffed his attempts to have those conversations) what he had been dealing with personally for years before he and Meghan moved in in 2020.

He wanted his family to be held to account,” Scobie said. “The ball has been in William’s court for 11 months. And how ridiculous, because this isn’t just about some random man’s brother. This is about the future king, the future head of the Church of England, who almost a year later still can’t at least sit down and have a conversation with his own blood.”
But taken in context, William’s response (or lack thereof) isn’t all that surprising (there was no official comment from any member of the royal family in response to Harry’s recollections of Spare, although there were plenty of reports that they weren’t happy about it).

Scobie said William’s character has a “duality.” “He’s a man who, as I said, once hated the press more than his brother and was always (and remains) extremely professional in his engagements, and a pleasure to be around. He was the one who recognized you [as a member of the press] and made you feel like a person rather than just an irritant at these events.”

William “also loved his normal life as an air ambulance pilot,” the veteran royal correspondent added, “which he clung to for so long, much to the chagrin of the institution.”

The Duke of Cambridge, William, announced in 2017 that he would be leaving the East Anglian Air Ambulance after two years. Kensington Palace said at the time that the heir was making the move because he and Kate were “keen to increase their official work on behalf of the Queen and the charities and causes they support.”

The couple, now the Prince and Princess of Wales, have worked as full-time royals ever since, though Kate has made it clear (with actions, if not as many words) that she is a mother to Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, first and a future queen second.

While there were complaints behind the scenes that William wasn’t doing enough for the crown, his time as a pilot “was what made him,” Scobie said. “It made him a man to be admired because he didn’t have to do that. So to see him get to this point now, where family is not the priority for him, it’s all about his image, his reputation, at any cost, shows me that maybe he’s lost himself a little bit in the role or allowed the role to absorb him in the way these roles do.”

Royal Family LIVE: One member who ‘will never forgive’ Harry – it’s not Prince William

The Duke of Sussex has had a tense relationship with the Royal Family since quitting royal life, but there are rumours of a reconciliation.

Rumours of a reconciliation between Prince Harry and the Royal Family continue to grow despite the Duke of Sussex having quit royal duties in 2020 and moving to Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle, to grow his young family.

While his father, King Charles and older brother, Prince William could be considering the idea of reconcilliation, an insider claims one royal is still resistant to forgiveness – Queen Camilla.

Harry released a bombshell memoir in January 2023, writing claims bout Camilla, and comparing her to a “wicked stepmother”, accusing her of having an agenda to work on her public image.

Speaking to Closer Magazine, the insider said: “Not everyone is keen on that idea, but Camilla is opposed to Harry making any sort of return, even for a friendly visit. She doesn’t want to come face to face with him, let alone show him any kind of forgiveness or mercy.”

The insider added she thinks he is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”, insisting he brings “stress and drama” to situations.

They added: “It’s her belief that any interaction King Charles has with him is only going to be bad for his health and for the family as a whole. If Harry does get the invite back to the UK, he’d be wise to stay far away from Camilla.”

Charles proves he’s the barbecue king with brilliant egg timer gag and ‘smashed avo’ quip

The King and Queen arrived at Parramatta Park in scorching sunshine and were welcomed by a Smoking Ceremony and a Didgeridoo player.

Charles and Camilla reunited after conducting separate engagements this morning, with the King being introduced to the Premier of NSW, Chris Minns and his wife Anna, while the Queen was introduced to the deputy Premier of NSW, Prudence Car and her husband Brad Hulls.

Moving towards to smoking ceremony, Their Majesties took it in turns to waft the smoke over themselves, a tradition that is meant to be good luck and clear away bad spirits.

14 countries that have abandoned the monarchy for republicanism

King Charles was heckled at an appearance in Australia’s senate yesterday by a pro-republic MP.

Australian senator Lidia Thrope heckled the King shouting: “This is not your land, this is not your land, you are not my King, you are not our King.”

The incident has raised the issue of how long the monarch might remain as the Head of State of countries across the globe in the modern age.

Andrew Walkling, Professor at Binghamton University in New York believes that it is inevitable that King Charles will be the last British monarch in some of the overseas realms, with the idea of having a British monarch leading countries overseas increasingly being perceived by many as a “relic of a past notion”.

Meghan Markle praised for ‘under-the-radar’ move which could bring ‘change’

Meghan Markle has been praised for making a key change which could positively impact a number of businesses.

Celebrity stylist Martine Alexander told the Daily Mail that the duchess, 43, is embracing current fashion trends by wearing oversized and baggy clothes.

However, instead of just wearing clothes from well-known brands, Meghan is also wearing items from smaller businesses, giving them the much-needed exposure to become a successful business.

Royal tour outrage as Queen Victoria statue attacked with red paint before King arrives

A famous statue of Queen Victoria in Sydney’s city centre has been vandalised with red paint, just hours before King Charles and Queen Camilla were due to tour the city.

The Royal couple are scheduled to meet the public outside the Sydney Opera House, not far from the defaced statue.

Police have cordoned off the area around the statue, located outside the Queen Victoria Building in the central business district, following the incident.

This comes just a day after a verbal attack on the King and Queen by Aboriginal Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe at Parliament House in Canberra.

Prince Harry’s royal return claims torn apart as reconciliation is ‘awfully long way off’

Prince Harry will not reconcile with the Royal Family anytime soon despite his latest purchase of a holiday home in Europe that is close to one of his royal relatives, a royal commentator has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have bought themselves a new holiday home in the same area where Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank also own a property.

Harry’s latest move prompted several royal watchers to question whether it could provide a potential path for a reconciliation between the duke and his estranged family. The Princess of York is known to have a close bond with Harry as well as the rest of the royals.
