Prince Harry and Coldplay singer Chris Martin have been pals for way over a decade, with Duke of Sussex even giving the Glastonbury headliner a mention in his 2023 memoir, Spare.

The pair were first pictured publicly together in 2014 when Chris, 47, had written a song for the inaugural Invictus Games. In a photograph shared on Coldplay’s Twitter, Prince Harry, 39, joined the band in the recording studio ahead of the song’s release.

The song was performed by a choir at the Invictus Games Opening Ceremony and was based on William Ernest Henley’s 19th-century poem, Invictus.

Harry enlisted the help of Chris and his bandmates once again for his Sentebale concert at Kensington Palace back in June 2016. The concert was held to raise money and awareness of HIV.

Harry joined Coldplay on stage for their last song, Up & Up, which is from their 2015 album A Head Full of Dreams.

At the end of the performance, Harry shook hands with Chris before grabbing the microphone and telling the crowd: “Thank you to Coldplay – thank you so much, you’ve rocked the palace, you’ve rocked the palace.”

The pair’s friendship also extends to their personal lives. Years before they were first seen together, comedian Ricky Gervais revealed he had enjoyed a drink with them following one of his stand-up shows.

Writing on his blog in 2010, Ricky said: “Hammersmith (Apollo) was great… Had a drink after the show with Chris Martin and Prince Harry. As you do.”

Fast forward to 2019, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle expressed their gratitude to Chris as they rang in the New Year.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a montage of photos recapping their 2019 on their Sussexroyal Instagram account.

They wrote: “Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and thanking you for your continued support! We’ve loved meeting so many of you from around the world and can’t wait to meet many more of you next year. We hope 2020 brings each of you health and continued happiness.”

In a nod to them using Coldplay’s song Clocks in the background, the couple continued: “Special thanks to Chris Martin and Coldplay for allowing us to use one of their songs.”

Two months later, in February 2020, Buckingham Palace announced that Harry and Meghan would step back from being working members of the Royal Family.

In June of that year, the couple moved to Montecito, California, just 63 miles away from where Chris lives in Malibu.

It seems that Harry and Chris’s friendship strengthened during this time as the royal gave the Coldplay frontman a mention in his bombshell memoir, Spare.

In the 2023 book’s acknowledgements, the duke gave a special thanks to his wife Meghan Markle, their children Archie and Lilibet, as well as his mother-in-law Doria.

He then thanked Chris, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, James Corden, Nacho Figueras and his wife Delfina Blaquier for their “unwavering friendship and support”.

Our weekly poll shows just 18% of voters plan to support Rishi Sunak’s party. Keir Starmer’s Labour has the backing of 38%, while 21% say they plan to vote for Reform UK

The Tories have fallen even further behind Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, putting them on course for an election wipeout.

Our weekly poll shows just 18% of voters plan to support Rishi Sunak’s party with one week until polling day. Labour has the backing of 38%, while 21% say they plan to vote for Reform.

Both the Tories and Labour are down one point since last week, with Reform gaining a point.

Mr Sunak has failed to make any progress in reducing Keir Starmer’s commanding lead since he called the election.. Labour continues to be 20 points ahead, which is exactly how it was in our first poll of the campaign four weeks ago.

According to the latest survey, conducted by Whitestone Insight, the Lib Dems are down one point in the past week to 11%, as the Green Party has risen one point to 7%.

Lachlan Rurlander of the pollster said: “Reform UK has managed to sustain some momentum and achieved a three-point lead over the Conservatives, despite what has widely been seen as a difficult week for Nigel Farage.”

It comes as latest donation figures from the Electoral Commission show Labour managed to raise £8.6million in the first three weeks of the campaign as the Tories managed just £1.2million.

Mr Sunak today told of the hurt of his daughters after a Reform UK canvasser described him as a “f**ing p***”. Andrew Parker was filmed using the racist term about the PM as he campaigned for Mr Farage in Clacton. He also suggested migrants making dangerous Channel crossings should be used as “target practice”.

Another canvasser described the Pride flag as “degenerate” and suggested members of the LGBT community are paedophiles.

Appearing on ITV’s Loose Women, Mr Farage suggested the language of his supporters was “vulgar, drunken and wrong” and that they had been kicked out of the party.

Mr Parker said: “Of course I regret what I said. I’m old school. Christ, I’m not a racist. I’ve had Muslim girlfriends. It was typical chaps-down-the-pub talk.” Asked why he had made the remarks, he added: “It was in the heat of the moment. I was goaded on.”

Lady Colin Campbell claims ‘fame-hungry’ Meghan Markle tried to outshine Princess Diana

The outspoken aristocrat claims the Duchess of Sussex has made it her motive to outshine Princess Diana

Lady Colin Campbell has claimed to prove that Meghan Markle wanted to outshine Princess Diana.

In her latest controversial book – titled Meghan And Harry: The Real Story – the aristocrat claims the Duchess of Sussex attempted to fill the shoes of her husband’s late mother, who was known as the People’s Princess.

In her tell-all book, Lady C, 70, discusses Prince Harry and Meghan’s motive in leaving the Royal family and putting the responsibilities that come with it behind them.

Speaking to New magazine, the former Celebs Go Dating star described their unexpected move as ‘terribly sad’ before suggesting that former actress Meghan is the brains behind the unprecedented decision.

She went on to claim that the American star tried her utmost to outshine Harry’s dear mother before insisting that he is ‘much less intelligent’ than his other half.

Lady C insisted: “It’s a terribly, terribly sad situation. In my opinion, Harry is a much less intelligent character than she is and I think he’s so desperate to please her and go along with whatever she says, no matter how ill-conceived it is”.

The controversial star shared her feelings that Harry would still be a member of the Royal family if Meghan was not around.

“I believe that if Harry had married anyone else, he would still be a member of the royal family and I believe Meghan’s ambition was always to outshine Diana” she insited.

“Meghan’s ambition has always been to outshine Diana, but I think she’s gravely misread the situation. She thought sheer hype would get her into LA, where she could become the great star she always wanted to be.

Lady C continued: “But I don’t think it will happen for her. I really think she’ll struggle to fulfill her ambition.”

The former I’m A Celeb star has made numerous cruel claims about Meghan in her new book, including that the Duchess was rude to guests at Harry’s best friend’s wedding.

Although it’s unclear whether she has actually met the couple, Lady C insisted that a source spilled the beans on Harry’s best mate Charlie Van Straubenzee’s wedding to Daisy Jenks.

The controversial writer claims the Duchess “froze out” all the other guests at celebration, and that she has cost Harry “most of his friends”.

She writes: “A girl went up to Meghan, introduced herself, and said how beautiful she thought she was.

Loose Women icon Denise Welch has hit back after a talent agent claimed that the ITV panel show is a ‘cut-throat’ place to work, insisting that this isn’t the case

Denise Welch has furiously slammed claims that Loose Women is a far from pleasant programme to work on.

It comes after talent agent Melanie Blake claimed: “In my experience, it’s [Loose Women] that’s a cut-throat place to work and not This Morning.” In a heated social media spat, Denise stated that she “adores” her fellow panellists and would never work for a programme which she deemed to be toxic.

Melanie, who managed some of the biggest television stars previously said: “Considering I represented over 15 women on that show, I am only friends with Saira Khan. But I am in such a positive career space right now, it’s just not a period of time I want to relive. But I can confirm in my experience, it’s that show that’s a cut-throat place to work and not This Morning.”

This infuriated Denise, 65, who has appeared on the show in various roles since 2000 as she took to X, formerly known as Twitter, saying: “So disappointing that a female agent @MelanieBlakeUK constantly uses her position to tear down other women. It’s such a cliche that women can’t work together without being b*****s. I adore my @loosewomen colleagues otherwise I wouldn’t work there.”

She later added: “Melanie writes that Loose Women was and is a toxic place to work. I’m sorry Melanie but it isn’t. I love it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t work there. If she only speaks to one of the women she used to represent then that says more about her than them.” Responding to Denise, Melanie said that her comments referred specifically to the “era” she worked on the ITV daytime programme.

Speaking previously, Melanie told Notebook: “Put a load of ambitious women together with a small amount of seats to fill and inevitably there is always going to be tension. Showbiz isn’t all diamonds and rosé. Despite the party line of the Loose Women having been the best of friends from day one, it’s simply that, a party line.

Fellow Loose Women star Kaye Adams has also dismissed claims of feuds between the panellists (

There were a lot of egos in my era, so it’s not a show I want my new agency to represent stars from again.” Denise isn’t the only panellist from the programme to shut down allegations of a feud between the stars.

Last month, Kaye Adams commented: “I do get fed up that almost always we will be asked whether we bitch about each other. I’m just waiting for Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker to be asked the same question because they just never are. When we are asked about feuds, we think it is funny. It is certainly not a viper’s nest.”The one thing that I can guarantee when I go to the Loose Women, regardless of the line-up of women, regardless of the topics, at some point in that day, I will have a real belly laugh. And I don’t know how many other people can say that about their working life. I’m really delighted to say, hand on heart at some point in the day, we will be creasing ourselves, which is a lovely thing.”

Prince Harry losing title is ‘best solution’ claims Lady Colin, as petition reaches 50,000

PRINCE HARRY losing his title is the “only solution” for him to “indulge his personal beliefs” without further “destroying” the monarchy, according to Lady Colin Campbell.

Prince Harry, 36, has delivered a number of bombshell revelations about the Royal Family while over in the USA, where he now resides with his wife, Meghan Markle, 39. However, if the Duke Of Sussex is to continue “indulging his personal beliefs” and potentially “damaging the institution of the monarchy” he must give up his title, royal biographer Lady Colin Campbell has claimed.

A campaign launched by Lady Colin to take away Prince Harry’s royal title has reached 50,000 signatures on Change.Org.

The Duke and Duchess Of Sussex stepped down from their royal roles in January 2020, but they still have their titles.

According to the petition, some feel it would be best for the Duke Of Sussex to ask the Queen to put his titles into abeyance, meaning they would go into disuse – a move that can be revoked should things change down the line.

The royal couple moved to California following their departure from the Firm – Prince Harry has called the state his “spiritual home”.

The petition reads: “As a purely private citizen, with no royal rank, style or title, he (Harry) will be able to indulge his personal beliefs, as is the right of all private citizens, without the consequential possibility of damaging the institution of the Monarchy or relations between Friendly Powers, and will be free to articulate beliefs, no matter how objectionable, without the fallout that is otherwise inevitable as long as he possesses royal status.”

The 71-year-old TV personality previously revealed that she decided to start the online petition after speaking with “many people” and she felt it “was the right thing to do”.

She said if Harry – whose father is Prince Charles and older brother is Prince William – did relinquish his royal titles then it would free him from the royal institution and allow him to pursue a media career “without consequence”.

“I started [the petition] because I think it’s the right thing to do. I have spoken to people, many people, who think it’s the right thing to do and it is the solution,” she said.

“It is the best solution because it frees Harry to be able to indulge himself without consequence and without doing damage to the institution of the monarchy of the British nation, the British people and himself.”

Since stepping back from the royal family, the couple have not shied away from the limelight with both Prince Harry and Meghan sitting down for a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.

There’s even been rumours of a political agenda for the pair, as an insider said last year that Meghan “would seriously consider running for president”.

Vanity Fair quoted a “close friend” of hers as saying: “One of the reasons she was so keen not to give up her American citizenship was so she had the option to go into politics.

Mauren Nolan has revealed her younger sister Coleen ‘regrets’ opening up on her cancer diagnosis live on Loose Women while their sister Linda continues to battle the disease

Maureen Nolan shares that her younger sister Coleen ‘regrets’ announcing her cancer diagnosis on Loose Women with the family living under the dark cloud of cancer for nearly two decades .

Maureen, 69, only came to know about Coleen’s carcinoma diagnosis last month when the star bravely opened up about it on Loose Women. “I didn’t see her announce the news on the show, so suddenly Im getting all these messages saying, ‘Sorry to hear the news about Coleen,’” reveals the singer. “I was so shocked I immediately phoned her and asked what had happened. I think she now regrets sharing the news on Loose Women.”

Coleen, 58, later clarified her decision to keep the news from her sisters, explaining that she hadn’t wanted to tell them about her diagnosis because it seemed like nothing compared to what some of them have been through.

Maureen disclosed that she was the first to notice a concerning “bit of skin” on her sister Coleen’s neck several months ago . “I remember seeing the mark on her neck some time ago. I told her to have it checked, which eventually she did,” she told OK!. “Then they found this mark on her face, which I believe is the start of melanoma, which is the worst kind of skin cancer. But she’s using a chemo cream, so it should get better.”

Tragically, Coleen is the fourth among Maureen’s sisters to be afflicted by cancer. Last month marked a decade since the death of their beloved sister Bernie at 52, who died of breast cancer three years after her diagnosis. Anne, the eldest sister, aged 72, battled breast cancer for the second time three years ago but is now in remission.

However, their younger sister Linda’s fight against breast cancer, ongoing since 2006, has taken a turn for the worse. The 64-year-old recently revealed her struggle to maintain positivity following the devastating news that her cancer had spread to her brain.

“I was there when she was given the news I take her to every hospital appointment,” shares a distraught Maureen. “The fact that the cancer is now in her brain is the news she was dreading. But there is still a little hope, because the doctor said there is a new wonder drug that he could put her on if the chemo isn’t working.”

Victoria and David Beckham’s new feathered family members appear to be settling in nicely!

On Sunday, the couple gave their fans a little update on their new chickens and cockerel, which were a Christmas gift from Victoria to her husband. The former Spice Girl, 49, posted a photo of the young rooster standing in a beam of sunlight at the door of their coop.

“Wow what a handsome Cock!!! 🐓,” she quipped in her caption, crediting the photo to David, 48.

David replied to her cheeky post in the comment section, “You are welcome @victoriabeckham 🐓. Good morning.”

The retired soccer star shared a similar photo of the cockerel — an immature rooster — on his Instagram Story with the caption, “Coming out to say good morning.”

In a follow-up photo, the bird was captured with its wings out on the stairs to the coop. “Taking flight,” David wrote over the image, adding an animated rooster for comedic effect.

Victoria first revealed the family’s new backyard additions on Christmas Day, posting an Instagram Reel of a Santa hat-wearing David feeding the clucking chickens. “What do you get @davidbeckham for Christmas??” the fashion designer pondered in her caption.

“I got some chickens and a cockerel,” David says in the clip, as he sprinkles seeds in the grass. From behind the camera, Victoria declares them “Beckham chickens” and jokes that the birds are “a bit camera shy.”

Emmerdale’s Danny Miller has hit back at trolls after they slammed his wife Steph for breastfeeding their baby during the family’s appearance on Loose Women

Emmerdale star Danny Miller has hit back at trolls after his wife Steph breastfed their baby on live TV.

The actor, who is best known for his role as Aaron Dingle in the ITV soap, responded to the backlash his wife faced after their appearance on Friday’s Loose Women. The couple were on the daytime show to discuss the difficulties they faced falling pregnant, as Steph, who is a midwife, suffers from polycystic ovaries (PCOS), which can lead to fertility problems. However, some viewers found issue with the fact Steph decided to feed unsettled baby Edith on the Loose Women panel.

Danny has since made his thoughts very clear as he responded on social media. He wrote: “We had such a beautiful day today down @loosewomen talking all about life as a family of four and having two under two! I wanted to take this moment to say how incredibly proud I am of my wife @stephjones1710 – the most incredible Mother – for flying the breastfeeding flag and showing how when it’s needed, nothing comes before it.

“I bloody love this woman. In absolute awe of her. Breastfeeding is completely normal and natural. It’s food. It’s responding to the babies needs. It really is that simple. And whenever they need it, they should have it. Regardless of the situation. Including live television. I hope that Edith needing exactly that helps towards normalising breastfeeding wherever and whenever.”

In response, one fan said: “I was watching this afternoon and I literally thought ‘yes girl’ then thought ‘I bet some Karen has something to say about that’ but why should that thought even have crossed my mind?? I hope that there aren’t any negative comments or responses!! Lots of love a fellow midwife.” Danny replied: “Wasting their time if they do mate they just get deleted. You midwives are cut from a different cloth! Thank you for everything you do. All the love to you and yours and have a great weekend!”

Other fans shared their support for Steph as someone wrote: “Was a breath of fresh air seeing a mother feeding her child! It’s the most natural thing in the world ! Well done Steph ! Wish there was more women with this much strength to do this in general never mind on national Tv!” Another added: “After recently being sniggered at in a small cafe for feeding my 2 month old baby I have to say it totaly made me uncomfortable to feed in public again. Watching this gave me the motivation to feel confident to feed out of the house again.”

On the show, Steph, who had an intense water birth at home, introduced her daughter to the panellists and audience, and realising her daughter needed feeding, she discreetly began breastfeeding the newborn while Danny had their two-year-old son Albert on his knee. Emmerdale star Danny explained how they had navigated the emotional turmoil they faced when trying to get pregnant, and he realised his job was just to support Steph as she was given the fertility drug Clomid to help her get pregnant.

“That’s my role to be there for my partner Steph and that’s all I ever wanted to do was just support her the best I could and I think supporting each other through it worked, you know once you’ve got a shoulder to cry on,” he sweetly shared. Steph also spoke about her home birth with Edith, and said it was “amazing” as she recalled the intense 36-minute labour. “We had a home birth at my mum’s house as we were in the process of moving again and my mum was decorating her bedroom so it was empty. We put the pool up in mum’s room and it was amazing,” she said.
