A source says that the 21st in line to the throne says that she claims she is the ‘only one’ who can get through to Prince Harry and Prince William amid their ongoing fued

An insider has revealed that a ‘PR gold dust’ royal is taking on the role of peacemaker in the ongoing rift between Prince William and Prince Harry.

The relationship between Harry, who turned 40, and his elder brother, now 42, has reportedly soured since Harry’s move to the US with Meghan Markle in 2020, sparking rumours of a deep-seated feud.

A source told Woman’s Day however that Zara Tindall, aged 43, is trying to act as a mediator to improve cousin Harry’s relations with other senior members of the Royal Family.

“Zara figures there couldn’t be a better time for her to try and broker peace. Zara feels she’s the only one who can get through to both of them,” the source said.

Despite the shocking revelations in Harry’s book ‘Spare’ and his interviews after leaving Royal duties, he is still “missed” by the establishment, reports Gloucestershire Live.

They added: “No one likes to admit it, but for all his mistakes, everyone misses Harry.”

Speculation about a potential reconciliation within the Royal Family has been swirling throughout 2024, fuelled by whispers of Harry’s possible permanent return to Britain.

Hopes for a thaw in relations were sparked when the Prince and Princess of Wales publicly wished Harry a happy 40th birthday.

However, GB News has reported that despite this public gesture, the brothers have not resumed communication.

Zara Tindall and her husband Mike are being hailed as “PR gold dust” for the Royal Family, as their rising popularity triggers demands for them to take on more Royal duties.

A former Downing Street press secretary who has become a seasoned Royal commentator, Giles Kenningham commented on the couple’s growing influence, saying: “The Tindalls work very well on that level they have had their own careers.”

He further noted, “They are independent financially and they conduct themselves well. You certainly don’t see them staggering out of the back of bars.”

Zara Tindall, unique among royals, was brought up without a title after her parents chose not to bestow one upon hera decision she has openly valued. Reflecting on this in a 2015 The Times interview, Zara acknowledged: “I’m very lucky that both my parents decided not to use the title and we grew up and did all the things that gave us the opportunity to do.”

As an athlete, Zara garnered acclaim by securing a silver medal in team eventing at the 2012 Olympic Games, representing Great Britain with distinction.

Representatives for Prince William and Zara Tindall were asked to comment, while a spokesperson for Prince Harry opted not to respond.

PRINCE Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh are celebrating a very special milestone today – their 25th wedding anniversary.

King Charles III’s youngest brother popped the question before their 1999 wedding with a £105,000 two-carat oval diamond engagement ring, which will come with “struggles.”

Prince Edward enlisted the help of British royal jeweller Garrard when it came to Sophie’s breathtaking sparkler.

He popped the question after dating the PR executive for five years while they were on holiday in the Bahamas.

And it turns out the ring has a poignant tie to Princess Diana.

Her iconic sapphire engagement ring, which was surrounded by 14 round diamonds and set in white gold, was also from Garrard – and famously was used by Prince William when he proposed to Kate Middleton.

Caring for a royal ring can be tricky according to Ben Roberts, Managing Director of Clogau – the brand responsible for the Welsh gold that the royals have used to create their wedding rings since 1923 (when Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who became The Queen Mother, married the Duke of York, later King George VI).

Speaking about Diana’s 12-carat sapphire engagement ring, he told Hello! magazine: “Even without any alterations, caring for an heirloom of such value comes with its own challenges.

“Kate and her team will need to employ careful maintenance, with regular inspections and in-depth evaluations, gentle cleaning to restore sheen, and, if necessary, expert repairs to ensure its longevity.

“That way, she can continue to wear it every day and maintain a constant connection to the past while grounding her in the present as a beloved senior member of the Royal Family.”

The Garrard website states: “From Queen Mary’s consort crown to Princess Diana’s engagement ring, royal tiaras and Crown Jewels, our creations have become part of history itself.”

Prince Edward, 60, and his wife Sophie, 59, live largely out of the spotlight with their two children Lady Louise Windsor, 20 and James Viscount Severn, 16.

Sophie Wessex is the Queen’s ‘favourite’ and she’s ‘trusted’ in ways Kate and Camilla aren’t
The family live at Bagshot Park near Windsor and are a picture of domestic bliss compared to other royals – with Edward the only one of the late Queen’s children not to get divorced.

Unlike the prince, Sophie comes from a humble beginning.

The daughter of a tyre salesman and a secretary, she was working in PR at Capital Radio when they met in 1987.

Edward was dating her friend at the time, but six years later they got together after a charity event.

Sophie continued to work for a few years after they got married before finally becoming a full-time royal in 2002, but clearly believes in instilling a strong work ethic in their kids, with Lady Louise doing shifts at a local garden centre.

Edward and Sophie married on June 19, 1999 at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in 2018.

It was a far more low-key affair than the weddings of Edward’s older siblings, which were large, formal events at Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral.

And instead of jetting off on a luxury honeymoon abroad, the couple spent it at Balmoral in Scotland.

Sophie and Prince Edward’s royal romance

When Sophie met Edward in 1987 she was a PR for Capital Radio, but it was six years before they started dating.

They then began a romance in earnest, but went to great lengths to avoid photographers, especially when Sophie began staying overnight at Edward’s three-room apartment in Buckingham Palace. When calling Sophie at her office, the Prince would use the name Richard — not that he fooled her colleagues for long.

Six years after they started going out, Edward proposed, with a £105,000 ring from Crown jewellers Garrard.

Starting a family was not straightforward. In 2001 Sophie suffered an ectopic pregnancy.

In 2003, the birth of daughter Louise was similarly dramatic. The baby was a month premature and Sophie lost nine pints of blood, had a caesarean and was in hospital for 15 days. In 2007 she had another caesarean giving birth to son James.

Last summer, during the break before the second lockdown, Edward, Sophie and their children, now 17 and 13, were among the first to stay with the Queen and Philip at Balmoral, and the last to leave.

Edward and Sophie decided not to use the HRH titles their children are entitled to – instead styling them as children of an Earl.

Sophie told the Sunday Times Magazine in 2020: “We try to bring them up with the understanding they are very likely to have to work for a living.

“Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles. They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but I think that’s highly unlikely.”

Kate and Prince William announced their engagement in 2010, with the royal proposing with his mother’s ring in Kenya.

At the time of its creation, the ring was worth £28,000, according to Marie Claire.

Vintage ring expert Sam Mee estimates that these days its value is more like £390,000.

For his proposal, Prince Harry used stones from Princess Diana’s collection to create a ring for Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry popped the question in 2017 with a classic gold band set with three diamonds, although Meghan later upgraded the ring to feature a diamond-studded band, valued at £150,000.

Prenetics, a Hong Kong-based, NASDAQ-listed health sciences company, has announced that former international footballer,

entrepreneur and philanthropist David Beckham has become a strategic investor in the business.

Prenetics said in a statement on Thursday that Prenetics and Beckham will become co-founding partners of a new health and wellness brand, IM8,

which will focus on cutting-edge consumer health products, with details to be announced at a later date.

“Throughout my life and career, I’ve been fortunate to have access to the best medical professionals, nutrition experts and fitness coaches.

Their guidance has been crucial to my health and well-being,

“That’s why I am excited to be working with Prenetics – a company that is dedicated to innovative, world-leading scientific advancements in health – as a co-founding partner and ambassador for IM8,” Beckham said.

Danny Yeung, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Prenetics, said that this partnership with Beckham marks a transformative era for Prenetics in global health innovation and wellness.

“Beckham epitomizes the values of discipline, teamwork and health, aligning perfectly with Prenetics’ core principles. Working closely with Beckham these past months, I’ve been consistently inspired by his vision for accessible health for all,

“His passion and commitment are truly extraordinary. With IM8, we have a unique opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the consumer health and wellness industry,” he added.

It is noted that Beckham has also spent time with Prenetics shareholder, Professor Dennis Lo, during which he has been impressed to learn about Professor Lo’s pioneering discovery of non-invasive prenatal testing in 1997 and current focus on early cancer detection.

These conversations have highlighted the significant potential of Prenetics’ innovations to impact global health and longevity.

Prenetics is a firm dedicated to advancing consumer and clinical health.

Its consumer initiative is led by IM8, a new health and wellness brand.

The firm’s clinical division is led by Insighta, a $200 million joint venture with renowned scientist Prof. Dennis Lo, focused on multi-cancer early detection technologies.

This is followed by ACT Genomics, which has achieved U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for comprehensive genomic profiling of solid tumors, and CircleDNA, which uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to offer comprehensive deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) tests.

Beckham is one of England’s most successful footballers.

With a career spanning 20 years, he has played with some of the most successful clubs in the world, including Manchester United and Real Madrid, as well as the England team, which he captained for six years.

He was the first English player to have won league titles in four countries: England, Spain, the United States and France.

After retiring from playing in 2013, he established himself as a successful entrepreneur, working with many of the world’s leading brands including adidas, Stella Artois, Tudor, EA, and Nespresso.

In 2018, he fulfilled a life-long ambition to be an owner of a football club when his group was awarded the Major League Soccer Franchise for the city of Miami.

Inter Miami CF was officially announced in September 2018 with Beckham as President of the Club.

In 2019, he founded his own content studio, Studio 99. The studio operates both editorial and commercial production, and specializes in developing and producing premium documentary features, series and formats for global platforms and networks, including Netflix and Disney+.

In February 2022 Authentic Brands Group (Authentic), a unified platform that integrates merger and acquisition (M&A), brand strategy, creativity and digital innovation, announced that it had entered into a strategic partnership with Beckham to co-own and manage Beckham’s global brand.

In connection with the partnership, Beckham became a shareholder in Authentic.

He joined a roster of Authentic’s growing entertainment portfolio that includes some of the world’s most celebrated athletes and iconic sports brands such as Shaquille O’Neal, Sports Illustrated, and Muhammad Ali.

And in an emotional moment that pulled at heartstrings the world over, the little princess is seen crying as her dad Prince William informs her that she wont be going to school. Come the family outing in which the sweet princess cries her heart out for not being able to be with her friends having an educational and playful day.

 

 

It started when the Duke of Cambridge told Charlotte, 4 (neé Princess Charlotte, in case you’ve somehow missed her over the last four years), that for some reason or another, she didn’t have to go to school. it was evident that the announcement struck a chord with the spirited young royal. Eyewitnesses reported that Charlotte’s reaction was one of genuine sadness, as she had been eagerly anticipating a day filled with fun and friendship at her school.

Charlotte, who is known for her bright personality and enthusiasm for learning, was comforted by her father, who knelt down to offer words of encouragement. Prince William reportedly reassured her that they could find other fun activities to fill the day, but the disappointment was still visible on her face.

This touching moment highlights the relatable struggles of childhood and the emotional responses that even royals experience. It serves as a reminder that, beneath their royal duties and public personas, the Cambridge children are just like any other kids who cherish their time in school and with friends.

As the world watches this heartfelt exchange, many are left wondering how the young princess will cope with this unexpected day off. With a loving father like Prince William, one can only hope that the day will turn around, filled with special father-daughter bonding activities that will put a smile back on Charlotte’s face.

As the royal family continues to navigate their public and private lives, this moment serves as a charming glimpse into the everyday challenges and joys faced by the younger generation of the monarchy.

Meghan Markle and her efforts to have a certain video of Prince Harry removed from social media, especially Twitter (now X). The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, constantly in the public eye, are no strangers to controversy or speculation, but this particular clip has sparked a wave of rumors.

 

 

The Controversial Video

The video in question reportedly shows a candid moment featuring Prince Harry during a public event, seemingly unaware that he is being filmed. Though the exact content of the video has not been officially confirmed, sources suggest that it portrays Harry in a light that the couple would prefer to keep private.

Some speculate the clip captures Harry making offhand remarks about the royal family, while others claim it shows him in a less-than-ideal state of mind, perhaps after a particularly stressful or emotional moment. The lack of clarity only fuels further speculation, with the video being shared and discussed widely.

Why Meghan Wants It Gone

Meghan Markle’s alleged attempts to have the video erased can be attributed to a few key reasons:

Protecting Harry’s Image: Both Meghan and Harry have worked hard to curate their public personas, especially since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020. They have been outspoken about mental health and the pressures of public life. A candid video showing Harry in a vulnerable or compromising state could undo much of that carefully crafted image.

Privacy Concerns: Meghan and Harry have long been vocal about their desire for privacy, particularly regarding moments they believe should remain personal. Meghan’s rumored efforts to remove the video align with their ongoing battle against invasive media practices. The video’s spread likely represents yet another breach of the couple’s privacy.

Damage Control: The Sussexes have had their share of public relations challenges, from their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey to strained relations with the British royal family. Another potentially damaging video might add fuel to ongoing media scrutiny and impact their broader efforts in philanthropy, mental health advocacy, and entertainment deals. Removing it could be an attempt to control the narrative before it spirals out of control.

Social Media Backlash

Predictably, the news that Meghan may be pushing for the removal of this video has not gone unnoticed. On social media, many users have expressed skepticism, suggesting that attempting to suppress the video only makes people more curious about its contents. Hashtags related to the video have trended, and clips of the footage continue to circulate.

Some have criticized the couple’s alleged attempts to control their public image so tightly, arguing that transparency is crucial, especially when they’ve built much of their public identity on openness and mental health advocacy.

Meghan Markle’s Archewell Foundation and hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has recently come to light. The link between the Duchess of Sussex and the Bad Boy Records founder has raised eyebrows, sparking curiosity about what this connection could mean for both parties involved.

 

 

The Unlikely Collaboration

At first glance, Meghan Markle’s charitable organization, Archewell Foundation, and Sean Diddy Combs’ empire seem to operate in completely different spheres. Archewell focuses on philanthropy, mental health advocacy, and community impact, while Diddy has built his legacy in the music industry, fashion, and lifestyle ventures.

However, sources claim that there has been behind-the-scenes collaboration between the two entities, leading to speculation about a potential joint project. It’s rumored that Diddy’s team has been in talks with Archewell about an initiative aimed at tackling social justice issues, specifically focusing on empowering underrepresented communities.

A Shared Vision for Change

While it may seem surprising, the connection makes sense when examining the shared values of both Meghan and Diddy. The Duchess of Sussex has been an outspoken advocate for racial equality and women’s rights, often leveraging her platform to raise awareness about social justice causes. Diddy, on the other hand, has long been a prominent voice within the Black community, using his influence to push for change through various ventures, including his REVOLT network.

Sources suggest that both Meghan and Diddy are passionate about addressing systemic inequalities, and it is this shared vision that has brought their teams together. Reports indicate that they have been exploring ways to combine their resources and reach to launch a campaign that amplifies diverse voices, possibly through digital media or even a documentary series.

The Archewell Foundation’s Growing Influence

Since stepping down from royal duties, Meghan and Prince Harry have focused much of their energy on Archewell, which has become a central part of their post-royal life. From podcasting deals to partnerships with global organizations, the foundation has quickly established itself as a serious player in the world of philanthropy.

Collaborating with high-profile figures like Diddy could expand Archewell’s influence even further. The rapper’s extensive connections in the entertainment and media industries would open new doors for the Sussexes, potentially allowing them to reach younger, more diverse audiences.

What This Could Mean for Diddy

For Diddy, this connection to Meghan Markle and Archewell could mark a new chapter in his career. Known for his entrepreneurial spirit, Diddy has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to expanding his brand. By aligning himself with a global figure like Meghan, he stands to enhance his credibility in the world of philanthropy and social activism.

Jude Bellingham sung David Beckham‘s praises but admitted the superstar had made him feel a little self-conscious as he reflected on meeting the former England international in the latest episode of his YouTube series.

Beckham was one of a handful of Englishmen that have broken into the Real Madrid set-up in recent decades ahead of Bellingham’s 2023 move to the Spanish club from Borussia Dortmund.

But the 21-year-old was quick to step outside of the midfielder’s long shadow in the Spanish capital as saw out an impressive debut season for Los Blancos.

Spurring the side to LaLiga and Champions League success in 2023-24, Bellingham’s blistering showing has also seen him garner a Ballon d’Or nomination for his showings at both club and country level.

His rise at the Bernabeu also led to the Stourbridge native making the cover of EAFC 25 – with the game’s campaign seeing Bellingham and Beckham link up for the first time.

Beckham shared videos of the pair on set together to his social media accounts this summer

After taking part in a promotional video to publicise the game, the player revealed that meeting the ex-Man United icon had been somewhat awe-inspiring.

‘It’s an honour, really,’ Bellingham said about meeting the former professional on his ‘Out of the Floodlights’ series.

‘There’s always that thing about don’t meet your heroes, and he’s one that I’ve met and actually thought, “he’s amazing and he seems like a really down to earth guy” regardless of how famous he is and what he’s achieved in his career and his life.’

There was a downside to their meeting, however, with Bellingham adding: ‘He makes me look a little bit uglier, but you can learn to deal with that if it’s on the cover of video games.’

Beckham had previously reached out to Bellingham to offer him a message of support before he made the move to Real Madrid, but the pair had previously never met in person.

Ahead of the move, former Real Madrid man Beckham sent the 21-year-old his congratulations (pictured in 2006)

‘David Beckham messaged me briefly to wish me all the best,’ Bellingham told PA in July of last year.

‘It is one of those moves where everyone has their input from the outside so you do hear a lot of things and advice, I am quite good at filtering out the good from the bad, so far it has been really positive from ex-players.

‘I will try and take that on board and at some point maybe get in touch with them and see how they adapted to life in Spain.’

MEGHAN Markle saw herself as the royal family’s “new Princess Diana”, according to a celebrity biographer.

Tom Bower’s explosive new book claims the Duchess of Sussex was unhappy to be “subservient” to sister-in-law Kate Middleton.

The biographer’s book, House of Beckham, focuses on Victoria and David Beckham’s relationship and careers, but also touches upon their friendship with the royal family.

Tom claims Meghan saw herself as the “Royal Family’s new Diana”, following the success of the Sussexes’ first foreign royal tour to Australia.

During the whirlwind visit, the Duchess of Sussex announced she was pregnant with Prince Archie.

However, the celebrity biographer claims Meghan was discontent that “in the royal hierarchy she was subservient to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and the future Queen.”

Previously, Meghan discussed how unusual she found it to have to curtsy to the late Queen, saying it was like “medieval times” in their Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan.

Prince Harry said that he had reminded a stunned Meghan in the car on the way their that she would have to curtsy to his grandmother, given that she was the sitting monarch.

At that point she demonstrated the exaggerated curtsy and seemed to chuckle at the ridiculousness of it all.

Online commenters were quick to slam her for appearing to mock the institution of the monarchy.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as working royals in 2020 and now live in a £12million Californian mansion with their two kids, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

The House of Beckham also alleges Meghan was also “irritated” that Victoria had “considerably more wealth” than her.

Tom claimed that Meghan “put on airs” around Victoria when they first met, due to her status within the royal family and also as the Californian actress felt she had “little in common” with the former Spice Girl.

The biography states: “In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame.

“As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.

“She was irritated to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself.

“They owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts and much more money. And she was soon to be a duchess.”

According to the book, Victoria reportedly made an effort to befriend Meghan, due to her family’s long-standing friendship with Prince Harry and Prince Wiliam.

Tom added that “a member of Victoria’s staff offered Harry’s fiancé advice on the best facials and hairdressing in London.”

Meghan is also said to have asked Victoria if she could provide her with free clothes and handbags, however this was “vetoed by the Palace for being against their rules.”

Due to her wish to avoid paparazzi, Meghan allegedly stayed at the Beckham residence in Beverly Hills during a private trip, and it meant her “secretly provided for by the Beckhams’ staff.”

Prince Harry’s ‘snub’ of David Beckham in Australia

AFTER flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at Prince Harry’s request, David Beckham was puzzled why the prince had not met him.

But the prince had had no plans to see the former England football captain, nor even of being pictured with him, claimed Tom Bower.

It was October 2018, and Harry was hosting the Invictus Games.

Since David had played a prominent role bringing the 2012 Olympics to Britain and an important part in the 2010 unsuccessful bid for the football World Cup, it seemed natural for Prince Harry to ask David to join him at the celebrated competition for injured servicemen.

As a man who loved the royals, David would never refuse such an important request.

But having flown half-way around the world, he was perplexed why officials after he arrived at the sporting venue were playing a dance to keep him happy, but away from Harry.

She wanted no competition in the media from David, and especially not from his wife, Victoria.

The reason for the distance was Meghan, the newly married Duchess of Sussex.

When it was reported that Victoria had given Meghan make-up advice, the relationship is said to have soured.

The Duke of Sussex allegedly called David to accuse him and his wife Victoria of leaking stories, leaving David ‘furious.’

The Beckhams did secure an invite to Harry and Meghan’s 2018 royal wedding, however Tom claims that in a bid to “punish” the Beckhams, they were not invited to the wedding dinner, despite welcoming other big names like George Clooney, who Meghan did not know personally.

David was also “snubbed” by Harry after flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at the royal’s request, for the 2018 Invictus Games.

Cracks first started emerging in the pair’s friendship in spring 2022 when the former footballer invited Prince William and Kate to his son Brooklyn’s wedding – and not Harry and Meghan.

It seems the Beckhams’ loyalty to the other members of the royal family has paid off, with David being given a top charity ambassador role by King Charles after the pair bonded over love of nature.

Ex-Manchester United ace Becks, 49, surprised the King, 75, last year with a jar of his homemade honey then chatted about their passion for beekeeping.

Loose Women star, Ruth Langsford, has been tipped to star in another huge ITV show after it was revealed she was heading for divorce with her estranged husband, Eamonn Holmes

Ruth Langsford could be heading for one of ITV’s biggest shows after calling it quits with Eamonn Holmes.

The former couple, both 64, sent shockwaves through the showbiz world in May when they announced they were heading for divorce. Following the news, Eamonn was back at work on GB News the next day, but Ruth took a lengthy hiatus from Loose Women.

She is now back on the show and also made a triumphant comeback for a guest spot on This Morning for the first time in two years this week. Now, fans reckon they’re going to be seeing a lot more of the seasoned presenter… when she joins Dancing On Ice. Despite there being no reports confirming Ruth’s participation on the show, her legion of loyal followers think the mum-of-one is going to spill the secret on Loose Women this week.

The programme is revealing who will be taking part in the ITV skating show and fans are convinced Ruth is in the lineup. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: “OMG! I think Ruth’s going to reveal that she’s signed up for DOI” while another mused: “Ive got a feeling Ruth is going to do DOI after Eamonn split.”

So far, four contestants for this year’s Dancing On Ice have been officially confirmed. Ferne McCann was the first announced name, followed by The Traitors’ Mollie Pearce.

Coronation Street’s Sam Aston confirmed his appearance on This Morning while dressed as a snowman, with Sir Steve Redgrave being one of the most shocking so far.

Ruth, meanwhile, looked resplendent This Morning sofa on Monday, September 30. The Loose Women host stunned in a silver sparkling gown as she made a comeback alongside three of her fellow panellists.

The women – including Coleen Nolan, Olivia Attwood and Jane Moore – were celebrating 25 years of the ITV lunchtime show with current This Morning hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley.

Ruth famously co-hosted This Morning alongside her estranged husband, Eamonn. The pair were presenters on Fridays and they also provided holiday cover for former hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

Despite her history on the This Morning set, Ruth showed no sign of awkwardness and seemed completely at ease to be back alongside her Loose Women colleagues, who all looked very glamorous in their sparkly silver dresses.
