The Princess of Wales will be joining senior members of the Royal Family at two official events on both Saturday and Sunday, Buckingham Palace has announced.

On Saturday, Princess Kate will head to the Royal Albert Hall to attend the Festival of Remembrance, a stunning and poignant concert paying tribute every year to those who gave their lives to keep Britain safe.

A Palace statement said: “Members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. His Majesty The King became Patron of the Royal British Legion earlier this year.

“The Festival will be attended by His Majesty The King, The Prince and Princess of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and The Duke of Kent.”

The following day, she will head to the Cenotaph, to attend the Remembrance Sunday service, the palace confirmed.

On both occasions, Kate will be joined by Prince William – although the Prince of Wales is expected to play a more active role during the service on Sunday, with his wife instead attending the sombre ceremony from one of the Foreign Office’s balconies overlooking the Cenotaph, as she has done in previous years.

On Sunday, the heir to the throne will lay the wreath previously laid by King Charles as the former Prince of Wales, featuring The Prince of Wales’s feathers. The wreath bears a new ribbon in Welsh red.

The Palace added: “The King and Members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Remembrance Day Service at The Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.

“The Prince and Princess of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and The Duke of Kent will also attend the Service.”

The announcement marks the next significant step in Kate’s gradual return to public royal duties, as she prepares to join the King and the Prince of Wales to honour the nation’s fallen.

It comes after William revealed how 2024 has been “brutal” and “probably been the hardest year in my life” with both Kate and the King having been diagnosed with cancer.

PRINCESS Diana’s style might be best known for her revenge dress worn in 1994 on the same night that Prince Charles admitted to adultery.

But the People’s Princess was also well known for her impressive collection of blazers, which she wore everywhere from school runs and shopping to formal royal engagements.

Last month, the mum-of-one revealed the £9.50 secret to her recent spout of hair growth after spending years wearing extensions.

Molly was once famed for her signature bun which drew volume from the long, faux hair – but she’s now taking a more natural approach to haircare.

Taking to YouTube, she explained that the product “activates hair follicles” and increases blood flow to her scalp.

It is the £9.50 Scalp Massager Shampoo Brush by FUL.

“I wanted to repurchase one of these because these are amazing for when you put your treatment in or your conditioner in the shower,” she said to the camera.

Brooklyn Beckham revealed what Prince William is really like during Monday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live – and snubbed Harry and Meghan in the process.

The 25-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham appeared on the show to discuss his friendship with Selena Gomez and plug his new hot sauce – but conversation swiftly turned to his famed family’s close friendship with UK royalty.

In recent years the Beckhams have had a rumored rift with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle – so it comes as no surprise that Brooklyn named the heir to the throne, 42, as the Royal he had spent the most time with.

Host Andy Cohen, 56, said: ‘Growing up, which members of the royal family did you see most often, especially since your family is friends with Harry and Meghan?

Ignoring the mention of the California based Royals, Beckham responded: ‘Uhh, probably William’ with Cohen saying: ‘Yeah? What’s he like, is there something about him people don’t get? Is he fun?

Beckham added: ‘He’s just, like, the sweetest guy ever. He really is. He’s really down to earth. He’s a really good guy.

A stunned Cohen replied: ‘Wow.’

The Beckhams’ alleged spat with the Sussexes seemingly dates back to 2018.

The row is believed to have heightened when the Sussexes allegedly accused the Beckhams of leaking stories about them to the press – while royal biographers claimed Meghan ‘didn’t like the footballer’s friendship with Prince William .’

New speculation about their relationship emerged in May 2024, when, as the Mail understands, King Charles met with David Beckham to discuss his charitable foundation while Prince Harry was in the country.

Previously, the Duke of Sussex had said that his father was too busy attending to ‘various other priorities’ to see him while he was in the UK.

David and Victoria Beckham were guests at her wedding to Prince Harry at Windsor in 2018.

Meghan and Harry were notably not guests at the wedding of Brooklyn to US heiress Nicola Peltz in April 2022.

After the news of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis earlier this year, Harry quickly returned to the UK to be by his father’s side, though their meeting was reported to last less than 45 minutes – pictured 2022

The couple moved to California back in 2020 with their son Prince Archie, as they stepped back as working royals. Princess Lilibet was born a year later in 2021.

 In their six-part Netflix series in December 2022, Harry said of his and Meghan’s move to California , ‘We are exactly where we’re supposed to be.’ But then the Duke added: ‘I miss the UK.’

After the news of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis earlier this year, Harry quickly returned to the UK to be by his father’s side, though their meeting was reported to last less than 45 minutes.

‘The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go to see him, and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that,’ he said on ABC’s Good Morning America a few days after the visit. ‘Any illness, any sickness, brings families together.’

But it may be a long road to reconciliation ahead of Harry, with the Duke’s previous revelations in his memoir and during his Netflix show causing potentially irreversible damage.

After witnessing the news of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry hastily changed his flight plans to return home to Meghan Markle sooner. Originally scheduled to fly with British Airways, Harry opted for a Delta flight due to a 2-hour delay in the BA flight.  Reports suggest Harry’s swift departure followed a brief visit to London to see his ailing father, King Charles. The Duke of Sussex, who had a short encounter with his brother Prince William but not at all with his father, left his father’s residence around 2:00 p.m. local time to catch his flight back to Los Angeles. Meghan Markle was seen smiling as she waited for Harry to return home, indicating her support during this challenging time.
Royal expert Jenny Bond highlighted Harry’s visit as emblematic of the deepening divide within the royal family, suggesting that William’s apparent disownment of Harry signifies a rift. Despite hopes for reconciliation sparked by Harry’s visit, the Duke and his father did not meet, underscoring the strained relationship between the siblings. Charles’ public appearance following his cancer diagnosis, coupled with William’s return to royal duties, signals a commitment to fulfilling their responsibilities despite personal challenges.

Prince William’s return to public duties coincides with the appointment of a former government diplomat as his private secretary, marking a step towards re-establishing normalcy within the royal household amidst King Charles’ health concerns. Additionally, William and Kate’s decision to create a new position of chief executive reflects their proactive approach to managing palace affairs amidst ongoing changes in staff and the royal family’s evolving dynamics.

In the latest episode of Celebrity Big Brother, Sharon Osbourne didn’t mince words when discussing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s standing in Los Angeles. The conversation, which included Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith, revealed a sentiment that seems to be growing in the city of stars: fatigue.

Osbourne’s candid remarks suggest that the Sussexes’ continuous public grievances have not gone unnoticed. “I think everyone is fed up of their moaning,” she stated, echoing a sentiment that resonates with many who once welcomed the royal couple with open arms.

Osborne explained that “in the beginning they were very well received” because American love the royals, but now the popularity is “dwindling.”

She also commented that there were “some deals that they have done that haven’t worked well.”

Before asking Sharon what the “vibe” in America was with the couple, Goldsmith said: “I have the opinion that Harry was really loved, massively loved, and when they were a threesome – Kate, William and Harry – were really comfortable together, loved.

“And then suddenly there’s an extra dynamic that comes in, puts a stick in the spokes and creates so much drama that I don’t generally think is there, and re-wrote the history and said how unhappy he was, and I just don’t think that’s fair.”

This revelation comes amid discussions on Celebrity Big Brother, where personalities like Osbourne are known for their unfiltered opinions. The show has become a platform for candid celebrity insights, and Osbourne’s take on Harry and Meghan’s popularity—or lack thereof—has sparked conversations beyond the Big Brother house.

Harry and Meghan have started investing their Netflix earnings into a global property portfolio. Their new home in Portugal is seen as the start of their property empire.

Sources close to the couple have revealed that they are being very smart with their money. They have bought a new house in Portugal, close to where Princess Eugenie (Harry’s cousin) and her husband live. However, according to The Sun, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are spending a lot of time apart, have no plans to live there.

It’s unclear whether the couple will rent it out, use it as an Airbnb vacation rental, or simply invest the money. But the deal is seen as the first step in turning earnings from television and book deals into a global real estate empire.

Harry and Meghan received $75 million from Netflix for a six-part documentary series about the British royal family. Harry also received $15 million in royalties for his autobiography “Spare” and inherited $8 million from the Queen Mother after turning 40 in September.

Palace insiders are concerned about the Sussexes’ finances as money dries up. They have to pay heavily for security in the US and Harry’s visits to the UK. In addition, the couple are still paying off the mortgage on the $11 million Montecito mansion they bought after stepping down from the royal family in 2020.

Sources say the Portuguese home will be part of a financial portfolio that includes other properties. However, they do not own a home in the UK after being forced to leave Frogmore Cottage last year. Harry and Meghan are now pursuing their own business ventures. Meghan wants to start a jam business and Harry is expected to announce his own projects. A close friend said: “It’s normal for couples not to do everything together.”

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, is set to star in a new Netflix programme by the end of the year.

A celebrity chef reportedly  finds being compared to Meghan Markle “insulting”, an insider has claimed.

As Meghan prepares to launch products for her new brand American Riviera Orchard, she is also waiting to launch her new cookery show on Netflix this year, which will focus on “the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining, and friendship”.

The programme is expected to match Meghan’s new brand, which will sell a number of lifestyle products including the duchess’ very own jam produce.

However, celebrity chef Martha Stewart, 82, is reportedly finding comparisons to the Duchess of Sussex “irritating and insulting”.

Sources claimed to In Touch: “Martha has seen hundreds of Meghan types come and go — and says they all come in with the same self-inflated hype, only to find out it’s a whole new ball game when it comes down to brass tacks.

“She’s tired of being quizzed by people over how she feels about Meghan’s venture because, honestly, it’s irritating and insulting to her that she’s being compared to a rookie!

“Martha spent decades building her brand from a foundation of raw talent, hands-on hard work and an original vision.

“If Meghan thinks she can come along and replicate that with barely any experience simply because she’s married to a prince, she better think again.”

Over the last few months, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, has experienced a number of obstacles when it comes to officially launching her products, which was expected to have happened by now.

A number of these challenges have been surrounding the trademark of the brand, with Meghan being told she cannot trademark a geographical location.

As well as this, concerns have been raised about the logo, with the duchess also reportedly struggling to hire a CEO for the venture.

The official date when products will be up for sale has not yet been confirmed.

In The Mail, Royal Commentator Richard Eden said it is “a textbook example of how not to launch a business”.

The once inseparable couple, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been facing speculation about the state of their relationship. According to sources, their summer has been marked by an increasing amount of time spent apart. In June, while Harry was in London for a court case, Meghan was reportedly attending parties in Montecito without him. Mid-August saw Harry traveling to Singapore for a charity polo match and Japan, while Meghan attended a Taylor Swift concert in L.A. and celebrated her belated 42nd birthday with friends.

This physical separation has raised concerns, with a source stating, “They seem to be spending more and more time apart. It’s not a good sign.” Another potential indicator of trouble is Meghan’s absence of her custom triple diamond engagement ring designed by Harry himself. Despite claims that the ring is being repaired, Meghan has been spotted without it on multiple occasions since May, fueling rampant speculation about a potential split.

Sources suggest that Meghan’s decision to not wear the ring could be a subtle message to Harry about her dissatisfaction with the marriage, especially in light of the couple’s struggles with negative public opinion and failing business ventures. The situation has led to widespread rumors about a potential divorce between the Sussexes.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been facing challenges in their post-royal life. Despite the initial success of Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare,” their momentum has slowed down. In May, they were accused of exaggerating an encounter with paparazzi in New York City, and the following month, a Spotify executive labeled them “grifters” after their deal with the streaming platform fell through. Experts have also criticized their lack of progress on their $100 million Netflix collaboration.

According to sources, the couple has been experiencing significant tension behind closed doors. Meghan Markle is reportedly blaming Prince Harry for their current situation, and they have been constantly arguing about money and failed projects. This has led to a need for some time apart, with Prince Harry embarking on trips to Asia and planning another extended visit to Africa to work on a Netflix docuseries without Meghan.

The source suggests that the couple has been living separate lives, which is concerning for Prince Harry, who left his entire life in the UK for Meghan. The prince is reportedly desperate to repair the damage and has been begging Meghan for a second chance to make their situation work. Meanwhile, Meghan is said to be taking matters into her own hands and focusing on her Hollywood comeback.

The reported distancing between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry raises concerns about the unity of their endeavors. While Meghan is said to be focusing on revitalizing her career and rebranding herself as a global influencer, Harry remains dedicated to the same charitable causes he championed as a working royal.

This divergence is evident in the emphasis on Meghan’s solo projects over their joint efforts in recent media coverage. However, Harry is not entirely alone, as King Charles III has reportedly reached out to offer support, driven by his understanding of the pressures public scrutiny can exert on a marriage.

Charles’ own experiences with the breakdown of his marriage to Princess Diana and the challenges faced with Camilla have given him a unique perspective on Harry’s situation. Their renewed communication could signal a potential thawing in their previously strained relationship.

As Meghan pursues her individual ambitions and Harry maintains his charitable commitments, the dynamics within their partnership appear to be shifting, prompting questions about the future direction of their joint initiatives.The situation surrounding Harry and Meghan’s marriage appears to be complex. According to sources, their relocation to California, intended as a fresh start, has instead marked the beginning of challenges in their relationship. While they still deeply care for each other, there are reported regrets about how certain matters have been handled since their move, and differing perspectives on the way forward. Their close friends are reportedly concerned about whether the couple can overcome these significant obstacles they currently face. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how they will navigate these marital difficulties.

In a revelation that has shaken royal circles and rekindled global interest in Princess Diana’s tragic story, a former bodyguard who once protected Diana has come forward with new details. After two decades of maintaining silence, he has disclosed a disturbing account of threats and intimidation. “For years, I was threatened by King Charles himself,” he alleged. “The terrifying reality is something I could no longer keep to myself.”

According to the bodyguard, who served closely alongside Diana in her final years, he had always felt a responsibility to protect her story, but recent circumstances have pushed him to speak up. In his account, he detailed the tense and often challenging environment surrounding Diana and the royal family. “There were things Diana knew, things she wanted to reveal, and she was afraid. I stood by her through it all,” he recounted, “but the pressures we faced were unlike anything people could imagine.”

The bodyguard described several incidents where he felt intimidated, allegedly receiving indirect threats urging him to stay silent. He implied that these threats were aimed at preserving the monarchy’s reputation, especially as Diana’s popularity continued to eclipse that of many other royal family members. “Diana was loved worldwide,” he said. “That kind of influence scared people—especially those who wanted the family’s image controlled.”

He also shared specific moments from Diana’s life that he felt shed light on her struggle within the royal family, mentioning that she often confided in him about feeling isolated. “She feared she was being watched, monitored, and, in some cases, even silenced,” he claimed. The bodyguard alleges that he too became a target of surveillance, which made his role all the more difficult.

This startling confession has reignited questions surrounding Diana’s life, her relationships, and the circumstances leading to her tragic death. Many who followed her story remember the Princess of Wales as a humanitarian icon and a mother who was deeply committed to her sons. The bodyguard’s recent statements underscore how complex her role within the royal family truly was.

Public reactions to the bodyguard’s disclosure have been intense, with calls for transparency regarding the late Princess’s life and the family dynamics at play. The royal family has yet to comment on the claims, and given the sensitivity of the subject, it remains unclear whether they will address the allegations at all.

Ultimately, this revelation paints a haunting picture of Diana’s final years and the struggles she endured. The bodyguard’s decision to speak out appears to be rooted in a desire to honor her memory and bring long-hidden aspects of her life to light. With the mystery surrounding Diana’s life only growing, this new information serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges she faced, leaving the world to wonder what other truths about her life and legacy might still be uncovered.

In a dramatic turn of events, Prince William, upon ascending the throne, has made a groundbreaking decision to forgive his estranged brother, Prince Harry, and invite him back into the royal fold. This reconciliation has shocked many, as the brothers have been at odds for several years, with Harry stepping away from royal duties and creating a considerable rift within the family.

Sources close to the royal household reveal that Prince William’s decision to extend an olive branch to Harry was motivated by a deep desire to heal the wounds within the family and restore unity. “Family comes first,” William reportedly said, signaling his commitment to repairing the fractured relationship and setting aside past grievances. This gesture of forgiveness has been met with both surprise and admiration, as it appears to signal a new chapter for the royal family.

In a bold and unprecedented move, the two brothers are said to have united in their determination to expel Camilla, the Queen Consort, from the palace. According to insiders, William and Harry reportedly told Camilla, “Take your bag and leave,” effectively ending her influence in the royal household. While the specifics of this dramatic turn of events remain unclear, it has been suggested that the brothers’ shared sense of duty to preserve the monarchy’s integrity and protect their family’s legacy played a pivotal role in this decision.The expulsion of Camilla marks a dramatic shift in the royal dynamics, as her relationship with the royal family has been a topic of much speculation and controversy for years. Many royal watchers have long questioned her role in the palace and her standing with the public. The alliance between William and Harry, however, appears to signal a new era for the monarchy—one that prioritizes family unity and the well-being of the royal institution.

While details continue to emerge, it is clear that the royal family is undergoing a transformation. With Prince William now on the throne, it seems that the once-divided royal brothers are ready to put their differences aside and face the future together, with a shared vision for a monarchy that reflects their values and priorities. The world is watching to see what happens next, but one thing is certain: the royal family has entered a new chapter, and it promises to be one of change, reconciliation, and perhaps even redemption.
