‘Wild’ Liam Payne was seen arguing with mystery woman about money in hotel lobby just hours before falling to his death from balcony

Liam Payne was seen arguing with a woman about money in the lobby of his hotel just hours before he died falling from a balcony in Buenos Aires, a fellow guest has claimed.

The 31-year-old former One Direction singer plunged 45ft from the third floor into the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel in the Argentinian capital on Wednesday, sparking a wave of grief around the world.

In the wake of the tragedy, hotel guests shared their chilling recollections of the moments before his death, including hearing ‘violent noises’ and a ‘scream’.

Michael Fleischmann, from the United States, was also staying in the luxury hotel and claims just three hours before Payne’s death the singer seemed ‘a little wild’ as he argued with an unnamed woman about money.

Another guest, who spoke exclusively to MailOnline. claims Payne had made a shocking admission just minutes before he plunged to his death claiming: ‘I used to be in a boy band – that’s why I’m so f**ked up’.

Mr Fleischmann claimed the former boy band star kept repeating to the woman: ‘I’ll give you $20,000 dollars just because I can. I have $55 million and I like to help people.’

During the ‘very tense situation’ the woman is said to have spoken in Spanish with the hotel manager translating the conversation to Payne at around 2pm local time.

Mr Fleischmann told the Buenos Aires Herald that he only recognised that the man ‘with an English accent who seemed to be causing a disturbance’ in the lobby was Payne until after news of his death broke.

He added that the singer had ‘seemed very upset, agitated, a little wild, walking around and pacing’ and ‘seemed very energized’.

Mr Fleischmann’s mother Toni added: ‘It just looked like she was extremely uncomfortable with him, and a little apprehensive.

‘It was just my son, me, Liam Payne, the woman and the staff. The manager was trying to politely intervene or calm him down. There was a feeling of anxiety in the area.’

The mother and son ended up getting in the same lift as Payne. They later left the hotel and the woman seen arguing with the star was outside the building on the phone.

Payne was found dead by police who say they found the popstar’s medicines including clonazepam – a drug which is used to control epilepsy, involuntary muscle spasms and panic disorders.

Photos inside the luxury suite, published by Argentinian magazine Clarin, appeared to confirm the troubling report about Payne’s mental state.

On a table, the surface was covered with tin foil, white powder, a lighter and scorch marks on the wooden surface.

A blackened aluminium drinks can lid appeared to have been heated and a smashed TV screen on a shelf bore the signs of a heavy impact whilst a half-empty Champagne flute was nearby.

The other guest named Rebecca was one of the last people to speak to the popstar and claimed that Payne:

Showed ‘disturbing and weird behaviour’ as he smashed his laptop on the floor;
Grabbed a young woman and pretended to choke her in the hotel lift; and
Was accompanied by an ‘entourage’ of two women and a British man.

Rebecca, not her real name, a 28-year-old IT consultant from Washington DC, took these haunting photographs of Payne in the lobby shortly before his death.

She said his bizarre behaviour and its horrific aftermath had left her ‘shaken’. As tributes continued to pour in for Payne, including from his former bandmates:

Rebecca’s surprise 30-minute long encounter with Payne took place in the foyer of the hotel, where she was staying for a wedding. Payne had been due to check out on Wednesday morning, but still had not done so by late afternoon, she claimed.

Rebecca took her photos from 4.26pm local time (8.26pm UK time) – which is also when Payne made the ‘boy band’ comment. Just 36 minutes later, hotel staff raised the alarm at 5.04pm following Payne’s fall. An ambulance arrived at 5.11pm and Payne was then certified dead.

Rebecca told MailOnline in an exclusive interview: ‘One of my friends was due to get his suite, so the hotel staff were a little on edge because he still hadn’t checked out at 4.30pm, but also because of his behaviour.

‘I came into the hotel, and he was waiting by the elevator, and it was so clear he wanted someone to recognise him, there was something a bit desperate about him.

‘I was with my friends and we did know who he was, but none of us were that bothered.

‘When the lift came he suddenly said to us without any prompting: ‘Yes, I’m Liam!’ really drawing it out, and then said ‘All right come on you lot, get in the elevator with me, I love a cuddle’.

‘I decided against it and waited for the next one, but some of the other girls got in with him and half way up, he started saying ‘Oh, you’re Americans, I live in West Palm Beach.

‘I know Americans. You guys are f***ing crazy! You guys are f***ing dangerous!

‘And then he grabs a girl who I think was with him and starts fake choking her, only lightly, but the others thought it was really disturbing.’

Rebecca said she returned to the lobby ten minutes later and shortly afterwards, Payne arrived back, dangling his open laptop nonchalantly from one corner.

He then began reading emails after flopping onto a sofa, wearing a white vest, cargo pants and trainers.

‘I have a blind relative and I realised he had the laptop on its accessibility setting, for some reason, so that each time he moved the mouse, hovering over something the machine spoke out loud to say where the cursor was,’ said Rebecca.

‘I assumed he was doing that for the attention too. Then he opened his emails and saw one which obviously upset him. Suddenly he took the computer, shouted ‘f**k this s**t mate!’ and started bashing the computer on the ground.

‘Everyone, especially the staff was really shocked. It’s a high-end hotel and his behaviour was so out of place – people were just chilling.

‘I went over, asked ‘are you OK?’ But he just kind of grunted. Then he said ‘I used to be in a boyband. That’s why I’m so f**ked up.’

‘I couldn’t believe he’d just come out and said something like that. There was a lot more swearing and he took the laptop over and went to get back in the lift.

‘After he’d gone, the British guy from his entourage, who I think was called Roger, came over and apologised on his behalf, saying ‘I’m sorry, he just gets so high sometimes’.

‘I did wonder what these people with him were doing to help him, but maybe they had tried and failed. The hotel staff were freaking out and watching him really nervously. I could see one of them was on the phone to what I assumed was security or the police.

‘I’ve never taken cocaine, but he was behaving exactly as I’d imagine someone would on the drug – he wasn’t focusing, and his pupils were dilated, and he was behaving in aggressive way – though not to anyone in particular.’

Meanwhile the hotel manager later reportedly told guests ‘we have a guest who’s out of it because of drugs and alcohol. And when he’s conscious, he’s breaking everything in the room’.

Last night, prosecutors investigating the death confirmed they had spoken to two women who had been with the singer the night before he died.

Police had been searching for the duo having identified them as ‘key witnesses’. They have now provided statements alongside three hotel staff members.

There is no indication that the women could be involved in his death, but police hope they can help piece together Payne’s final moments before he plunged to his death at around 5pm local time.

Argentina’s prosecutor’s office said ‘everything indicates’ the singer was alone when he died, but an investigation is looking into the ‘possible involvement of third parties in the events prior’.

A post-mortem confirmed yesterday Payne died instantly after suffering multiple injuries that led to ‘internal and external haemorrhaging’.

It comes as MailOnline revealed that the father-of-one had told a hotel guest, ‘I used to be in a boy band – that’s why I am so f***ed up’, just minutes before he died.

The woman, referred to as Rebecca (not her real name), said he showed ‘weird and disturbing behaviour’ before smashing his laptop on the floor.

Liam Payne ‘s close friend Rogelio ‘Roger’ Nores (Pictured) tonight denied abandoning the former One Direction star in the hours leading up to his death

Liam Payne’s close friend Rogelio Nores last night denied abandoning the former One Direction star in the hours leading up to his death.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline Mr Nores – known a ‘Roger’ – denied being a suspect in the 31-year-old’s death and rubbished claims police had raided his home in his native Buenos Aires.

It comes as Argentinian prosecutors probing Liam Payne’s death confirmed the arrests of three suspects who are now under formal investigation, with one being an unnamed ‘friend’ of the late pop star.

A description given by authorities appeared to indicate Mr Nores, who had accompanied Liam in the days before he died, had been charged with ‘abandoning a person followed by death’.

The individual in question has also been charged with being complicit in the supply of drugs – both crimes are punishable by a prison sentence of up to 15 years on conviction.

However, Mr Nores has slammed claims that he was under investigation connected to the One Direction star’s death in an emotional statement shared with MailOnline.

‘I never abandoned Liam, I went to his hotel 3 times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened,’ Mr Nores said.

‘There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left.

‘I could have never imagined something like this would happen.

‘I’ve given my statement to the prosecutor on October 17 as a witness and I haven’t spoken to any police officer or prosecutor ever since.

‘I wasn’t Liam’s manager he was just my very dear friend and please refer to the email I sent to Liam and his team on August 23.

‘I’m really heart-broken with this tragedy, and I’ve been missing my friend every day.’

Two hotel workers are among the three individuals now being formally investigated by authorities in connection with Liam’s death, according to ABC News.

Several reports tonight said three people had been ‘charged’ with offences, however sources familiar with the Argentine judicial system said they had instead been arrested and placed under official suspicion, and had not been formally indicted.

It comes after the One Direction star, 31, died after falling from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palmero Hotel in Buenos Aires on October 16.

In their third official statement released since the star’s death, Argentinian public prosecutors revealed only alcohol, cocaine and an anti-depressant were found in the former One Direction singer’s system.

Despite previous speculation, they have ruled out that the pop star took his own life after falling from the balcony.

The statement from the  investigation led by prosecutor Andrés Esteban Madrea confirmed ‘unlawful conduct’ was discovered in relation to the pop star’s death.

The statement read: ‘Three people were charged with the crimes of abandonment of a person followed by death, supply and facilitation of narcotics.

‘From the beginning of the investigation and within a few days, exhaustive and meticulous actions and measures were carried out to clarify the circumstances surrounding the death of the artist.’

They divulged that 800 hours of CCTV footage was examined as well as several dozen statements having been received from hotel staff, family, friends and medical professionals.

They confirmed that they had analysed the pop star’s mobile phone during the investigation as well as the hotel guest registry as well as bar and restaurant orders.

They also confirmed that necessary thanatological and laboratory studies were carried out and completed during the post-mortem.

The statement continued: ‘As a result of the evidence gathered and after analysing the various bodies of evidence and numerous documentary annexes and the background of the case, prosecutor Andrea Madrea formally charged three people, requesting their indictment and detention in a 180-page report presented last Friday before Judge Bruniard.’

They confirmed that an individual who accompanied the artist on a daily basis during his stay in Buenos Aires has been charged with abandonment of a person followed by death.

The person in question has also been charged with the supply and facilitation of narcotics, according to authorities.

The second defendant who is a hotel worker has been charged with the supply of cocaine to Liam Payne during the period he was at the hotel.

The third person has also been charged with supplying narcotics to the pop star on October 14, prosecutors say.

It comes as Police investigating the death of Liam Payne raided the homes of two hotel employees and a ‘friend’ of the former One Direction singer on Tuesday in the province of Buenos Aires.

Toxicology reports, which have already been communicated with Liam’s family, revealed he had consumed alcohol, cocaine and a prescribed anti-depressant in the last 72-hours of his life.

An autopsy carried out by Forensic Medical Corps (CMF) concluded ‘polytraumatisms’ and ‘internal and external haemorrhage’ was the cause of pop star’s death.

Prosecutors confirmed that the injuries were ‘compatible with those produced by a fall from a height and that self-injury of any kind and/or the physical intervention of third parties has been ruled out’.

Post mortem findings also deduced that Liam may have fallen whilst in a ‘state of semi-or-total unconsciousness’, prosecutors say.

It comes amid confirmation that Liam Payne was flown back to the UK yesterday as the One Direction star’s body was finally released to his family.

Liam’s body had been held in Argentina while local officials completed further post-mortem tests.

Public prosecutor Andrés Madrea confirmed to the BBC that Liam’s body had been released to his family on Wednesday.

The singer’s father Geoff Payne has been in the country where his son died in recent weeks and was seen paying respects to his son and even joining mourners amid a sea of floral tributes.

Thousands of fans across the world gathered in the days and weeks following Liam’s passing with many breaking down in tears.

News of the singer’s repatriation comes shortly after reports in the Argentine press had claimed the necessary paperwork to allow for the singer’s body to return home were complete.

Geoff Payne was initially warned by investigators upon his arrival in Buenos Aires that it would take up to 15 days before all their examinations were over.

Liam had been in Argentina with long-term girlfriend Kate Cassidy, leaving the couple’s holiday to return home to the US two days prior to his death.

The pop star’s journey to superstardom began at only 14-years-old Liam impressed XFactor judges with his own version of Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra – but was later eliminated from the show.

However Payne gave his singing career another go auditioning for the competition again in 2010, where he quickly shot to fame as part of One Direction.

He and his former bandmates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, were brought together by Simon Cowell and former judge Nicole Scherzinger who saw their potential as a group.

After just a few weeks of getting to know each other and non-stop rehearsing, the group impressed Simon at their Judge’s Houses audition and sailed through to the live shows.

The pop Svengali later admitted to Rolling Stone that it took him ‘about a millionth of a second’ to spot the group’s worldwide potential.

The fan reaction was instant too, with 1D hysteria soon dwarfing the show. Despite the adoration, the band ultimately finished in third place on the X Factor but shortly afterwards Cowell sealed their fate by signing the fivesome to a reported £2million Syco contract.

Keen to capitalise on the boys’ already devoted fanbase, Cowell moved quickly with recording for the band’s debut album beginning in January 2011.

By September of that year One Direction’s first single was released with What Makes You Beautiful soaring to number one on the UK Singles Chart, after becoming the most pre-ordered Sony Music Entertainment single in history.

Their debut album, Up All Night was also a best seller, becoming the UK’s fastest-selling debut album of 2011, with the record leading to their first tour which kicked off in the UK that December.

After Malik announced his departure from the band in 2016, the band members went their separate ways.

During their time as a group, One Direction won five Brit Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, amassed over three billion YouTube views and sold 50 million records worldwide.

After releasing five albums with one of the biggest boybands of all time, Liam released his first solo album titled LP1 in 2019.

His singles Strip That Down co-written with Ed Sheeran climbed its way to number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart that same year.

Over the course of his music career, the popstar collaborated with the likes of J Balvin, French Montana, Dixie D’Amelio and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie.

The tragic death of Liam Payne has sent shockwaves across the world, igniting discussions about fame, mental health, and the dark sides of stardom. The circumstances surrounding his sudden passing have left fans and the public desperate for answers as investigators work around the clock to piece together what might have led to such a heartbreaking end for the former One Direction star.

An Ill-Fated Night in Buenos Aires

The fateful night that changed everything began as Liam, who was staying at the exclusive Casasur Hotel in Buenos Aires, had been reportedly acting erratically. Hotel staff reported hearing loud noises and witnessing Liam in a state that led them to call emergency services. Witnesses from the hotel described him as visibly distressed and, at times, aggressive. Just minutes before his fall, staff made a distress call, alerting authorities that he seemed out of control and appeared to be in crisis. By the time emergency responders arrived, the unthinkable had already happened.

The Autopsy Report and Unanswered Questions

When authorities reached the scene, Liam was found at the base of the hotel after a deadly plunge from his third-floor room. Initial reports from the autopsy detail multiple traumatic injuries, with severe damage to his skull, chest, abdomen, and limbs. The report indicates that these injuries were fatal, with massive internal and external bleeding that left no chance of survival.

Forensic examiners also found troubling signs that paint a grim picture of Liam’s last hours. Autopsy findings suggest that his body had no defensive wounds, a fact that could imply he wasn’t fully aware of his fall or was incapacitated at the time. Investigators theorize that he might have been in an altered state, potentially under the influence of substances or prescription medications. The toxicology report, still pending its full results, is anticipated to be a pivotal piece in understanding the sequence of events that led to his death.

Disturbing Evidence in His Hotel Room

When authorities entered Liam’s suite, they were confronted with chaos. Broken furniture, shattered glass, and various objects strewn across the floor suggested that Liam had been in the throes of a violent outburst or, perhaps, a struggle against his own inner turmoil. The smashed TV, the overturned furniture, and drug paraphernalia scattered across the room hinted at a deeper struggle.

Authorities also uncovered foil with scorch marks and remnants of white powder suspected to be drugs on the table. A half-empty bottle of whiskey and several empty pill bottles, including anti-anxiety medication, added to the evidence of what may have been a tragic cocktail of substances that blurred his mental state and judgment. Reports suggest that the combination of alcohol, prescription medication, and potentially illegal drugs likely left Liam vulnerable, confused, and in an altered state during those final moments.

The Toxicology Report and Substance Use Speculations

The initial findings from toxicology tests revealed the presence of a mix of substances in Liam’s system, which experts suggest could have intensified his disorientation and possibly contributed to hallucinations. Among the substances detected was a dangerous concoction known as “pink cocaine,” a mixture of methamphetamine, ketamine, and MDMA, known for causing hallucinations, erratic behavior, and extreme mood swings. In combination with benzodiazepines, a prescription class of drugs for treating anxiety, this dangerous blend may have clouded his awareness and motor coordination, potentially leading to an accidental fall.

Fans and the public are grappling with the difficult reality that the pressure of fame, ongoing battles with mental health, and past addiction issues may have played significant roles in his untimely death. These findings have sparked conversations about the risks celebrities face in managing both their careers and personal struggles, especially with the increasing pressure to keep up appearances.

The Emotional Toll on Family and Friends

Liam’s family, including his parents and close friends, are currently grappling with grief as they prepare to travel to Argentina to formally identify his body. His family is reported to be devastated by the news, finding it hard to believe that Liam is no longer with them. Former One Direction bandmates—Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik—have yet to comment publicly but are said to be mourning privately, as they, too, process the sudden loss of someone they spent years with, both on stage and off.

A Troubled Star with a Legacy

In the wake of his death, fans around the world are sharing memories, paying homage to the legacy Liam leaves behind. He was not only a singer but also someone who inspired others with his openness about struggles with mental health, addiction, and the relentless pressures of fame. Through social media, he spoke candidly about his battles, making him a relatable figure for countless fans facing their own challenges.

Liam’s tragic passing has underscored the complexities of fame, shedding light on the unique and often intense struggles that public figures face. As investigators continue their work to determine the precise circumstances of his death, they have seized his laptop and phone, searching for clues that may provide insight into his last hours. It is believed that messages, photos, or calls may reveal if he was in contact with anyone or receiving support in those difficult final moments. Investigators are also considering whether other individuals may have been involved in the hours leading up to his fall.

The Investigation Moves Forward

Authorities in Argentina have classified Liam’s death as “undetermined” for now, and they continue to investigate all potential leads, from his behavior in the hotel to possible underlying health issues. The FBI, reportedly involved to assist, is sifting through forensic evidence and working closely with local investigators to better understand the sequence of events that culminated in such a tragic end.

Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced, but reports suggest that the family will likely hold a private ceremony once his body is returned to the UK. While Liam’s fans, friends, and family grapple with their grief, they are left with unanswered questions about how someone who brought joy to millions worldwide could end up facing such an isolated and painful departure.

Remembering Liam Payne: A Life Cut Short

As the world reflects on the life and legacy of Liam Payne, his tragic death serves as a poignant reminder of the toll that fame and personal struggles can take. His passing has spurred conversations about the need for better mental health support, especially for young artists thrust into the spotlight. In his memory, fans have started a movement on social media to raise awareness about mental health and addiction, honoring his courage and openness in facing his challenges.

For now, the investigation into Liam’s tragic end continues, but one thing remains certain: his music, his journey, and the impact he made on millions will live on.

The investigation into Liam Payne’s tragic death in Argentina has taken a serious turn, as local police have shared additional insights into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

According to police, preliminary findings suggest that Liam’s behavior leading up to his death was consistent with the influence of crystal meth, a powerful and highly addictive drug known for inducing severe psychological effects, including hallucinations, paranoia, and heightened aggression.

Toxicology tests are currently underway to confirm whether he was under the influence of such substances at the time of his death, but authorities are strongly considering drug use as a key factor.

Reports from the scene describe a shocking state of disarray in the luxury suite where Liam was staying. Officers who responded found evidence of a violent outburst, with a smashed television, broken furniture, and various items scattered across the room.

Additionally, drug paraphernalia was reportedly found amid the wreckage, lending further credence to the theory that Liam may have been under the influence. Police believe that crystal meth use could explain the intensity of his behavior, as the drug often triggers extreme mood swings and impulsive actions, which can be exacerbated by the drug’s effects on perception and reality.

Crystal meth is notorious for causing erratic behavior and intense psychological symptoms in users. The drug can bring about extreme highs, feelings of invincibility, and powerful hallucinations.

These highs, however, are often followed by drastic lows, leading to agitation, paranoia, and, in some cases, violent or self-destructive behavior. Experts note that this combination of effects can sometimes lead to unpredictable actions that put users in dangerous situations. In Liam’s case, the police hypothesize that such a drug-induced state may have led him to experience hallucinations or impaired judgment that could explain his fatal plunge from the hotel balcony.

The working theory suggests that Liam, in the midst of a psychotic episode, may have lost his sense of spatial awareness or reality, causing him to fall from the third-floor balcony. Law enforcement officials believe that this incident might have been accidental—a tragic outcome of a mind overwhelmed by hallucinations and distorted perceptions.

The presence of broken items and signs of a struggle within the hotel room may further indicate an internal struggle or an episode of intense frustration or paranoia, which could have escalated rapidly under the influence of crystal meth.

The Argentine authorities have stressed that the investigation is still ongoing, with forensic teams examining all physical evidence and awaiting the results of the toxicology report to provide a clearer picture of the events leading to his death. This case highlights the dangers associated with powerful, illicit drugs, particularly those like crystal meth, which can drastically alter a person’s mental state and behavior.

In the days since the incident, fans and family have been left in shock, grappling with the devastating loss of a beloved figure under such tragic and complex circumstances.

As authorities continue to gather information, they are also interviewing witnesses and individuals who may have seen Liam in the hours leading up to the incident. Close friends and hotel staff are reportedly being questioned to shed light on Liam’s state of mind and any observable signs that could help piece together his final moments. Until the toxicology reports are complete, however, the exact cause of his behavior remains speculative, and the investigation is far from over.

SHOCKING: After over two weeks of investigation into Liam Payne’s death, Argentine police have unexpectedly released an exchange about “drug deals” between X and a crime boss, revealing: “X was someone Liam Payne trusted completely.”

The tragic death of former One Direction star Liam Payne has taken a dramatic and unsettling turn with the latest developments in the ongoing investigation.

Authorities are now focusing their attention on several individuals close to the singer, including two hotel workers and a person described as a ‘friend’ of Payne.

These raids come after the shocking incident in which Payne reportedly plunged from a balcony under what are believed to have been drug-induced circumstances, a heartbreaking end to a life that had been marked by fame, success, and a long battle with personal demons.

Liam Payne’s untimely death has stunned the world, sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry and among his millions of fans. Payne, known for his role in the immensely successful boy band One Direction, had faced significant struggles over the years, from mental health battles to his personal relationships and struggles with substance abuse. His death, which occurred after he was reportedly under the influence of drugs, has raised more questions than answers, leading investigators to delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding the fatal fall.

The incident took place at a luxury hotel where Payne had been staying. According to initial reports, the singer had been alone in his room for several hours before the tragedy unfolded. What appeared to be a casual evening turned into a horrific accident when Payne fell from the balcony of his hotel room, suffering fatal injuries. His drug use at the time of the fall has been cited as a major factor contributing to the incident, but it is still unclear whether he was alone or had been with others in the moments leading up to the tragedy.

As details about the night of Payne’s death began to emerge, the police launched a thorough investigation, focusing on those who were in close proximity to him in the days before his passing. This included hotel staff and a person who was described as a close friend of the singer. Investigators believe that these individuals might have information crucial to understanding what transpired on the night of Payne’s fatal fall. The raid on the homes of two hotel workers and Payne’s ‘friend’ is part of a broader effort to piece together the events leading up to the tragedy and to determine if any foul play was involved.

The police have not publicly confirmed whether they suspect foul play, but the nature of the raids suggests that investigators are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for answers. It has been reported that the two hotel workers were among the last people to interact with Payne on the day of his death. Authorities have seized several items from their homes, including personal electronics and documents, which may provide clues about Payne’s mental state and who he was in contact with before the fatal fall.

The ‘friend’ of Payne who is under investigation has also been questioned by authorities. While little is known about this individual’s identity, the singer’s circle of acquaintances had previously been known to include a number of people with troubled backgrounds, and some reports suggest that Payne had been involved in drug use in the days leading up to his death. This has led investigators to consider the possibility that his companions during that period may have been complicit in enabling his behavior, whether knowingly or not.

In light of these developments, speculation has run rampant about the circumstances of Payne’s final moments. Some have questioned whether he was under the influence of drugs at the time of his fall, while others wonder if he was possibly influenced by external pressures or conflicts in his personal life. It has been reported that Payne had been struggling with both physical and mental health issues in the weeks leading up to his death, which may have contributed to a sense of desperation or confusion.

Payne’s tragic passing has also sparked an outpouring of grief and support from his fans, many of whom are struggling to comprehend the loss of a young man who seemed to have so much ahead of him. The One Direction member had been in the public eye for over a decade, first rising to fame as a member of the boy band and later embarking on a solo career. Despite his success, Payne had long been open about his struggles with addiction, depression, and self-esteem. In interviews, he had often spoken candidly about how difficult it was to cope with the pressure of being constantly in the spotlight.

For his loved ones, the aftermath of Payne’s death is undoubtedly a time of unimaginable pain and confusion. The raids on the homes of those close to him have only added to the uncertainty, raising difficult questions about what really happened in the lead-up to his fatal fall. As the investigation continues, many are left hoping for closure, and for the truth to come to light in a case that has left many unanswered questions. The tragic loss of Liam Payne reminds us of the fragility of life, especially for those who are often seen as invincible in the public eye, and the importance of understanding and supporting mental health and substance abuse struggles before it is too late.

In conclusion, the investigation into Liam Payne’s death has taken an unexpected and concerning twist, with authorities raiding the homes of hotel workers and a ‘friend’ of the late singer as part of the ongoing probe. While the circumstances surrounding his fatal balcony plunge are still being pieced together, the case has raised important questions about the challenges faced by celebrities in the public eye and the impact of mental health and substance abuse. As the investigation continues, the world waits for answers, hoping to understand the events leading up to the tragic loss of a beloved star.

Prince Harry was “so wrong” to say that King Charles was never made for single parenthood, a royal expert has claimed.

In his controversial memoir Spare, which was released in January last year, the Duke of Sussex, 39, sent shock waves across the nation when he criticised King Charles over intimacy and communication issues growing up.

Speaking of his father following the tragic passing of the late Princess Diana, Harry penned: “He’d always given an air of not being quite ready for parenthood: the responsibilities, the patience, the time.

“Even he, though a proud man, would have admitted as much.

“But single-parenthood? Pa was never made for that. To be fair, he tried.”

However, speaking to royal editor Matt Wilkinson for The Sun’s show Royal Exclusive, royal reporter Charles Rae says that Harry was “so wrong” to paint such a picture of his father.

“This is why one of the things Harry said in his book Spare about his father was so so wrong,” he claims.

“I watched the then Prince with his children and he was as loving to those boys as was Diana.

“Diana was much more extrovert.”

He then goes on to recall one particular occasion when a young Prince Harry and Prince William had arrived on the Royal Britannia.

“Diana and Charles had just finished a job…Diana walks up the gangplank plank, Charles is very polite, he stands there and says ‘hello’ to the captain, first officer and cook.

“Diana ignores them all and runs practically down the gangplank with her arms wide open and the boys rushed up to her – and that’s the picture that made the newspapers all over the world.”
Diana would have fixed William & Harry’s issues and would have loved Meghan
He adds: “Poor old Charles is left looking like a lemon as he was in India when he didn’t take her to the Taj Mahal and left her sitting alone there while he was addressing a business meeting 500 miles away.

“He just didn’t get those sort of things right.”

Charles, who got to meet Prince Harry and William often when he was working, goes on to say how “never in a month of Sundays” could he have predicted the pair would fall out – adding that the boys themselves were always “very pleasant.”

“I was there the day William passed his driving test, which was great great fun,” he says.

“And so we got to see them on special occasions and they were all reasonably friendly and would always say ‘hello.’”

Recalling when they were both in Canada, shortly after Diana passed away, he continues: “It was like The Beatles had arrived.

“The boys were walking up to an event and the screams, it was like The Beatles – it was just pop star stuff.

“I was behind them and Harry kept saying to William, ‘raise your hand again, raise your hand again and see what happens’…and of course all these girls where trying to rush forward.

“And they were really really close – and this is what makes it so sad that they’re so far apart.

“When William becomes King I always believed Harry would be one of his top advisers – that’s right out the window now.”

THE ROYAL children are watched by millions of fans when they step out for public events and they are often on their best behaviour.

This is partly down to the fact that the Princess of Wales is a very hands-on parent and uses a number of clever tricks from the late Princess Diana and her own mum Carole Middleton.

Kate Middleton’s golden rule for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis is about kindness.

According to HELLO! Online’s Royal Correspondent: “Based on observations of photographs of Princess Diana at the time, and the current Princess of Wales, they are both very affectionate with their children.

“Kate is often seen holding her children’s hands or picking them up for cuddles when they were smaller.

“There are often lots of comforting gestures, such as a pat on the back or stroking their hair. When interacting with other children on her public engagements, Kate often crouches down to their level to engage with them – something that Diana would often do.”

When she’s at the family’s home of Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, despite her royal status, insiders say Kate is just like any other “normal mum”.

A friend explained that behind closed doors, the 42-year-old is “very chilled at home” but definitely not a pushover and will tell the kids off when needed.

They told PEOPLE: “It’s a normal, busy family home with kids running around and knocking things over. There’s no airs and graces.

“She is doing that to help her children be more grounded and keep their reality in check. That’s what really matters to her.”

As a result of Kate’s ‘no pushover’ parenting style, it turns out that she also has a strict rule around the house that she and the children must follow – no shouting.

An insider previously told Fabulous: “Shouting is absolutely ‘off limits’ for the children and any hint of shouting at each other is dealt with by removal.”

But unlike many households, where children are sent off to their bedrooms or to the naughty step when they misbehave, the royal couple have a different technique – the sofa chat.

The source added: “The naughty child is taken away from the scene of the row or disruption and talked to calmly by either Kate or William.

“Things are explained and consequences outlined and they never shout at them.”

When interacting with other children on her public engagements, Kate often crouches down to their level to engage with them – something that Diana would often do.

Danielle StaceyHELLO! Online’s Royal Correspondent

Not only does Kate employ discipline techniques at home, it’s been reported that she also has a secret code she uses if she feels she needs to calm her children down when in public.

Author Tom Quinn wrote in his book Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up In The Royal Family: “When Prince Louis misbehaved at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, for example, by sticking his tongue out at his mother, Kate’s reaction was praised by teams of expert commentators.

“She apparently used a secret code to calm the children, as she does on occasions – she simply says, ‘Let’s take a break’.

“But as a former staffer explained, the children know these few words carry far more weight than we might imagine.”

Kate Middleton’s down-to-earth school run look

Whilst we have previously seen stunning images of Kate dropping the children off at Lambrook School, it turns out, on a day-to-day basis, things are much less glossy than you may imagine.

A friend told the Daily Record: “There are no blow-dries – it’s always hair up in a ponytail.

“She’s either in her gym clothes, or a dress and sneakers, very little makeup, apologising as she’s late for the school run before dashing off.

“It’s the life of a working mum with three young children – just a different sort of day job to most.”

In fact, when George and Charlotte attended their previous school of St Thomas’ in South London, it was reported that parents barely gave Kate a second glance during drop off and pick ups.

One parent told the Daily Mail : “No one really gives Kate a second glance when she does the school drop-off.

“We have a Victoria’s Secret model doing the school run, too, and the dads are far more interested in her.”

Prince William, Kate and their three kids spent the Easter holidays at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, with the future king being seen in the pub with Carole.

Kate has taken a break from royal duties following planned abdominal surgery in January, and her announcement that cancer has been found.

She was last seen on public duty on Christmas Day, and has been unable to carry out official engagements since having her operation.

She is unlikely to return until after April 17 when her children go back to Lambrook School, near Ascot, following the Easter holidays.

DIANA revealed the real reason her marriage with Charles ended shortly before death, says a royal expert.

Royal author Ingrid Seward spoke on The Sun’s Royal Exclusives Show about a conversation she had with the late princess before she died in 1997 aged just 36.

The royal expert told The Sun’s Royal Editor, Matt Wilkinson, Camilla was not the reason their marriage broke down, despite the stories.

“She had this spectre of Camilla in her head the whole time, she was obsessed, yet when I last spoke to her I brought Camilla up, and she said ‘Oh it wasn’t Camilla that ruined our marriage’,” said Ingrid.

“She said, ‘It was the people around my husband’.

“I thought to myself ‘It wasn’t Camilla? You’ve been complaining and complaining about her all these years’.”

The author continued: “But she changed tack, and said it was the environment in which keeping a royal marriage together, you’ve got to be very strong, and probably far more mature than she was.”

When asked about Queen Camilla stepping up for King Charles since his cancer diagnosis, Ingrid hailed the royal for taking on extra duties.

“She led them into King Constantine’s memorial service, but it was different on Easter Sunday and people really respect her,” said the expert.

“She was 50 when she got into this family and now she’s 76. Unless you’re born into it, it’s quite hard, the Windsors have massive energy.

“Charles as a young man used to run everywhere, Prince Philip would run everywhere.

“Camilla doesn’t have that kind of energy, and it really takes it out of her and I think a lot of people have a lot of respect for her.”
Harry should be William’s key adviser. That’s out of the window. It would break Diana’s heart says royal expert

It comes as Queen Camilla continues to fill in at royal events while her husband undergoes cancer treatment.

His Majesty bravely opened up about his diagnosis after doctors found the disease while he was in for prostate corrective surgery in January.

Princess Kate has also been receiving preventative chemotherapy after her shock diagnosis following abdominal surgery earlier this year.

While the pair have been leaning on each other throughout their recovery, Queen Camilla and Prince William have taken on more responsibilities.

The future heir has also been a pillar of strength for his wife, as the couple continue to keep things normal for their three children.

INGRID SEWARD: Prince William is a pillar of strength for Kate

STEADFAST when his family needed him, William has proved himself as a man and future monarch of strength and compassion.

While he might not have been present during Kate’s courageous video address on Friday — make no mistake, he has been by her side every step of the way.

William has stepped up with school run duties and provided a “great source of comfort and reassurance” to his wife.

But he has also been a comforting and reassuring presence for the public.

From leading members of the Royal Family at the Commonwealth Day Service to enjoying cheerful banter with youngsters on a youth centre visit, he hasn’t put a foot wrong.

Just this week he visited Sheffield to highlight his Homewards project to end homelessness in the UK.

Even then there were few chinks in his facade — but Kate was clearly on his mind.

“She needs to be sat here to hear this,” he smiled, when the discussion turned to the challenges of young families.

But ultimately he is only human.

To have your father and your wife diagnosed with cancer within such quick succession is heart-shattering.

It’s a remarkable insight into the character of this young man that he has been so incredibly brave.

Theirs is a very private turmoil which has been brought into the public arena by nature of their roles as future King and Queen.

William must feel the weight of enormous responsibility, both personally and for the monarchy, of which he is now the public face.

But he knows his most important role is that of dad and husband.

He will make that his priority.

This is a distinct difference from the ways of the past, where your royal role came before the role of spouse and parent.

Think back to when the Queen was young.

WILLS’ PRIORITY

It was a man’s world then — and she was forced to abandon her children in a way that William is determined not to.

William and Kate waited until the school term was over and their children were home before making their public announcement.

They needed to be prepared.

In this, they will have had the wholehearted support of Charles — who knows what it feels like to be brought up by nannies.

William was also acutely aware of the lack of his own father’s presence in his life, especially when things went wrong.

In 1991, he was accidentally hit over the head with a golf club when he was at school and Diana was having lunch in her favourite restaurant San Lorenzo.

The call came through that William had been bashed on the head and they thought he might die so it was very serious.

Both Charles and Diana rushed down to Ludgrove.

William was taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital and then to Great Ormond Street Hospital and Diana went with him.

But ever a man of duty, Charles prioritised his engagements.

William is determined to do things differently.
