Sussexes Out: King Charles Officially Eliminates Prince Harry, Archie, and Lili from Royalty

King Charles has made a dramatic decision, officially removing Prince Harry and his family from their roles as working royals.  After years …

King Charles has made a dramatic decision, officially removing Prince Harry and his family from their roles as working royals.  After years of controversy stemming from Harry and Meghan’s rebellious behavior, divisive media statements, and ongoing criticisms of the institution, Charles has had enough. The final straw seems to be the upcoming biography Harry is set to release early next year, which promises to expose even more private family details for personal gain.

Sources reveal that this move is a carefully considered and unilateral decision by King Charles. The King felt it was crucial to set clear boundaries and protect the monarchy from further damage caused by Harry and Meghan’s repeated oversteps.

The announcement has sent shockwaves through royal circles. Many aides and former palace staff have expressed support for this decisive action, seeing it as long overdue. Under this new ruling, Harry and Meghan will no longer hold any royal titles or patronages. Their roles and responsibilities within the royal family are being terminated immediately.

Perhaps most controversially, Charles has decreed that their children, Archie and Lilibet, will no longer have any official titles or royal status. They are now to be considered private citizens. The Sussexes will also lose all public funding and taxpayer-funded security.

This unprecedented exile not only removes all royal designations but also means Harry and Meghan will no longer be expected to attend key royal events like Christmas or Trooping the Colour. This move reinforces the boundary between celebrity and royalty, signaling that there will be no more hybrid roles.

The news of this royal shakeup has resonated across Britain and the globe. According to the BBC, this is one of the most significant changes to the modern monarchy, with royal commentators calling it the harshest action taken by the family. Many believe Charles has solidified his authority as head of the monarchy, even at the cost of his relationship with Harry.

Those close to King Charles have stated that he felt compelled to act given the series of events since “Megxit.” Despite his love for his son, Charles believed his constitutional duty to protect the monarchy and ensure its future outweighed personal concerns. They noted that Charles had repeatedly warned Harry to cease his disruptive media campaigns, but his pleas were ignored. The decision to revoke titles was made out of necessity, not spite, to establish clear boundaries and consequences for unacceptable behavior.

The Sussexes are reportedly humiliated by this public power move. Sources say Harry feels abandoned by his father, while Meghan is preparing for a fight, alleging persecution from the royals. A friend revealed that Meghan is actively working with her PR team to counter this latest development, suggesting that they may frame it as another example of racism and mistreatment.

While some in the Commonwealth support Charles’s bold action, others caution that it could damage future relations with Harry. International relations experts warn that tensions could rise if further PR attacks follow.

As King Charles navigates the fallout at Balmoral Castle, aides brace for possible retaliatory measures from California. Palace staff have been sworn to secrecy about any additional steps that might be taken. This dramatic move has set the stage for what promises to be a turbulent period ahead.

Linda Robson has been given a new lease of life following her battle with alcoholism and depression – but has revealed she won’t be signing up for the next series of Dancing on Ice

Linda Robson has turned down a lucrative offer to join Dancing on Ice, despite recently revealing her rejuvenated zest for life following personal battles with alcoholism and severe depression. She even gave a three word statement.

The 66 year old Loose Women star, who has been candid about her struggles throughout her extensive career in acting and presenting, was tempted by a big-money deal to skate onto the show’s 2025 series. However, Linda’s children were firmly against the idea, with the Daily Star reporting her as saying: “I’ve just been asked to do Dancing on Ice, but I said no. My kids wouldn’t let me do it.”

She added: “They said, ‘No mum, you’re 66, you can’t do it’.” Reflecting on her decision, Linda expressed relief at heeding her children’s advice, fearing injury on the ice: “They’re right to say I shouldn’t do it. I can’t dance and I can’t ice skate either.”

She continued: “I would end up breaking my leg,” before adding a three-word statement of: “Skating is dangerous!” Despite acknowledging her own limitations, she noted Joe Swash’s victory on the show despite his initial lack of grace: “Joe Swash won it even though he’s got two left feet, but he did improve and the public love him.”

Robson isn’t a stranger to reality TV, having appeared on Celebs on the Farm and Celebrity Coach Trip. Embracing new challenges, she remarked: “Now I’m 66 I’ve been trying things I’ve never done before.”

She emphasised her openness to new experiences: “I’m trying not to turn something down because it’s different.” Her adventurous spirit marks a significant turnaround from the time she struggled with depression, recalling a particularly emotional moment during the recording of her autobiography’s audiobook when discussing her suicide watch experience brought her to tears.

Linda revealed: “The depression and the suicide watch I was on was really hard, especially when I recorded the audio. I had to stop because I was crying my eyes out. They told me to go and sit down and have a nice cup of tea and then come back afterwards and I did.”

She’s triumphantly shaken off her dark days and is celebrating four years of sobriety, though she faced a tough battle with depression in 2018 that led to a breakdown and rehab stint.

This comes after it was reported that ITV are said to be fearful amid the current Strictly Come Dancing scandals, with them concerned over receiving similar complaints coming their way after Michael Barrymore claimed Dancing on Ice has the “same abusive behaviour” as Strictly. The 72-year-old appeared on the ITV show in 2020, with him now claiming he witnessed “abuse”, with him wondering why DOI has not come “under fire” like Strictly.

A host of celebrities have condemned the use of violence in Sunderland in riots linked to the Southport knife attack

Radio and TV presenter Lauren Laverne has said she is “heartbroken” for her home city after disorder in Sunderland.

Rioters battled police in the city centre on Friday evening after a planned protest linked to the Southport knife attack.

Dozens of demonstrations are planned over the weekend in towns and cities around the country as tensions remain high after the killing of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club on Monday.

Former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, who is also from Sunderland, called the violence “shameful”.

She re-posted a statement from mayor of the North East Kim McGuinness to Instagram and wrote: “What started as a peaceful protest was completely ruined. Shameful. It really is.”

During the violence in Sunderland city centre a police office was looted and a Citizens Advice office set alight.

Hundreds of people gathered in Keel Square, many of them draped in England flags, and members of the crowd chanted in support of English Defence League Tommy Robinson, while others shouted insults about Islam.

Ruth Langsford has let her hair down on a boozy night out with friends as they enjoyed cocktails and a meal in a Greek restaurant

Ruth Langsford has let her hair down and enjoyed a boozy night of laughter, cocktails and Greek food as she put her recent worries behind her with some quality time with friends.

The 64-year-old Loose Women presenter shared snaps from her Friday night out on her Instagram Stories, as she documented her time with friends Rachael Eleri and Liv Davey. Ruth has had a difficult few months as her marriage to Eamonn Holmes broke down but the TV presenter looked on top form in the photos as she celebrated drinking cocktails and posed with her pals.

The trio had spent time at Greek Mediterranean restaurant Gaia, in Mayfair, London, who Ruth tagged in the pics, and they looked like they were having a lot of fun as they posed for a photo while wearing black sunglasses with Ruth making a peace sign as she wore a glamorous white shirt and black trousers.

Another photo on Ruth’s Instagram Stories shows the three of them posing for a full-length mirror selfie before a snap of cocktail glasses showed that the night out had taken a boozy turn, with Ruth admitting in a caption: “Yes… cocktails were drunk!”

The big night out comes after Ruth made a triumphant return to ITV’s Loose Women after taking an extended break following the ending of her marriage in May. While she didn’t speak about her split from Eamonn, Ruth admitted that she “won’t do it again” when it came to whether she would take another similar break.

Back in March, a joint statement from both Eamonn and Ruth was released, which read: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.” Eamonn has been suffering with health issues for some time and by her own admission, it was a testing time for them both. Ruth’s admission came before the announcement of their split surfaced.

She told Woman’s Weekly: “I don’t know how much Eamonn’s mobility will improve. We live in hope. does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100% right. With any care situation – and there are millions of carers in this country – it isn’t always easy. It’s testing but we manage as a family.” Ruth added: “I look at Eamonn, who’s had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is.”

Ruth shares son Jack, 22, with Eamonn while he has three children Declan, 35, Rebecca, 32, and Niall, 30, from a previous marriage.

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes stunned fans when they announced they had split up in May, but the Loose Women star has now made a surprising statement about her status

Ruth Langsford has made a huge statement about her marriage to Eamonn Holmes after telling fans they were heading for divorce in May.

The former This Morning stars, both 64, sent shockwaves through the showbiz world when they announced they had called time on their 14-year marriage with reports Ruth was ‘sick of being Eamonn’s carer’.

The GB News star thanked fans for their support the day after the news broke, but Ruth kept quiet, including during her recent return to Loose Women where she failed to mention the break-up.

However, in her latest post on Instagram, she is still wearing her wedding ring as she told fans she was heading off to a meeting with the QVC shopping channel. Looking very glamorous, sporting a natty white blazer, Breton striped top and black designer sunglasses, she captioned the selfie, which she took in a lift: “Design meetings all afternoon @QVCUK.”

It comes after Ruth returned to Loose Women last month after a three-month hiatus, telling the audience: “Welcome to your first Loose Women of the week, it’s great to have your company!” Her co-star Coleen Nolan added: “Can I just say, I am so so happy you are back.” As the crowd cheered for her return, panellist Janet Street-Porter shouted: “Thank God! Thank God. I was left with her and her,” she joked gesturing to Coleen and Brenda Edwards. “I know, I won’t do it again Janet. It’s very nice to be back with you all,” Ruth responded.

So far, Ruth has refrained from speaking about her breakup with Eamonn. However, there were multiple reports about why she split with the seasoned journalist, with some claiming the mum-of-one was tired of looking after the dad-of-four, who has had a double hip operation and struggles to walk.

Eamonn spoke about his ill health at the recent TRIC Awards when he told the Mirror he felt like he was living on “borrowed time”. Struggling with chronic back pain, which saw him require a high-tech wheelchair at the ceremony, the star spoke candidly about his health after his father died aged 65 from a fatal heart attack in 1991.

The presenter has battled multiple heath issues over the past few years, before his split with Ruth was announced. Speaking to us, he admitted he had considered pulling out of attending the star-studded bash in London, which he usually goes to with his estranged wife, as he had been in so much pain.

Eamonn is reportedly leaning on several female friends in the wake of his split from Ruth. The Northern Irishman said he hoped to remain on good terms with his soon-to-be ex-spouse, despite the Loose Women star staying silent about their relationship.

According to Best magazine, when asked about the mother of his youngest son, Jack, he responded, “It’s too early to say, but I hope we can still be friends.”

Princess Beatrice, cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry, is celebrating her 36th birthday today – and people have spotted a peculiar coincidence.

Princess Beatrice is turning 36 today, and people have spotted something rather unusual about her birthday.

The royal, who is King Charles’ niece and cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry, was born on August 8, 1988, at the Portland Hospital in London. She is the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

With the celebrations in full swing, royal fans have spotted a rather eerie coincindence about the princess’ special day. Posting to X (formerly Twitter), one person wrote: “August 8th 1988.

“The birth of Princess Beatrice of York, now Mrs.Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, at 8:18pm the Portland Hospital in London. Beatrice is the eldest of the two daughters of the Duke and Duchess of York.”

They then added: “I’m not superstitious or anything but wow…how many 8’s are linked to her birth,” followed by a mind-blown emoji.

Others were quick to comment on the strange phenomenon, too. One responded: “Is it just me that remembers the reporting that she was induced to be born on 8.8.88 as 8 is lucky in China and they thought it would be extremely good luck? Maybe it’s one of those false memories,” to which the original poster replied: “Now you’ve said that, it does sounds familiar. But they were lucky with the time of birth as well.”

Meanwhile others simply shared well-wishes for the princess’ birthday. “Wishing HRH Princess Beatrice, Mrs Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi a very happy 36th birthday,” one wrote. Another added: “Wishing a very happy 36th birthday to Princess Beatrice today…”

And a third chimed in: “Princess Beatrice, Mrs Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi celebrates her birthday today. Happy birthday!”

A fourth also added: “Happy 36th birthday to Princess Beatrice of York! Known for her dedication to numerous charitable causes, she is a beacon of grace and compassion. Her work in raising awareness for dyslexia has inspired many, and her warm, approachable nature continues to endear her to people worldwide. Wishing her a day filled with joy and celebration!”

Relations between the Sussexes and the The Firm have been fraught in recent years in the wake of Harry’s memoir, Spare

The pair have been repeatedly ‘snubbed’ by the Palace this year, according to royal watchers. (Image: Getty)

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship with the Royal Family has grown pretty frosty since they stepped down as senior royals in 2020 and moved to the US.

Despite clinging onto their titles, the pair have been absent from frontline royal engagements. In recent years they’ve been largely sidelined in the wake of Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare, and various interviews about his unhappiness in the family.

Here are some notable Palace “snubs” suffered by the Sussexes this year, according to royal watchers.

1. Palace ‘ignores’ Archie and Lilibet’s birthdays

Back in June, the Royal Family made no public acknowledgement of Princess Lilibet’s birthday online, which some saw as a brutal snub to Prince Harry.

Lilibet, the Sussexes’ second child, turned three on June 4.

Harry and Meghan reportedly marked their daughter’s special day with an intimate party at their Montecito home.

Fans eagerly waited to see if members of the Royal Family would offer well-wishes on social media, only to be disappointed, though birthday messages may have been sent privately.

Prince Archie celebrated his fifth birthday in May and also did not appear to get a public mention from the royals.

Despite the apparent sub, King Charles is said to be “desperate” to have a relationship with his two youngest grandchildren.

2. Meghan’s birthday ‘ignored’ by Palace

In an apparent snub to Meghan, the Firm remained silent as the Duchess celebrated her 43rd birthday on August 4.

According to People magazine, the Duchess spent the day “privately” at home with family, as she has done in previous years.

However, royal watchers will see the silence from the Royal Family as evidence of the strained relationship between Meghan, Prince Harry, King Charles, and Queen Camilla.

3. Balmoral summer visit

The Balmoral Estate is known as the summer destination for the Royal Family, with many royals travelling to spend some time there every August.

The tradition was previously held by the late Queen, who is known to have loved Balmoral. King Charles also enjoys spending time there and is following suit with the annual trip.

Prince Harry previously fondly described his past visits to Balmoral as “simply paradise”, though reportedly hasn’t been invited over the past few years, including this summer.

Although Harry nor Meghan have confirmed – or denied – that they have received an invite, the couple are not expected to join the royals there this month.

4. King Charles ‘screening Harry’s calls’

Prince Harry and King Charles last met face-to-face for 45 minutes in February in London, following the King’s cancer diagnosis.

The pair are thought to have last enjoyed a lengthy phone call earlier this year, but since then conflicting schedules have meant the duo have been unable to meet in person to try and iron out the friction that remains in the Royal Family

However, royal expert Robert Jobson speculated on the reason King Charles may have stopped responding to calls from his youngest son, telling The Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential podcast: “He has taken them in the past, but I think anybody that knows the situation, who would want to keep taking calls if the conversation just ends in a slanging match about money and legal fees?”

“I think the King has got too much on his plate,” Jobson continued. “He’s been not well at all and he’s been dealing with that.

“He’s only just become the King, he’s got too much to deal with, rather than dealing with Harry’s constant demands.”

5. Charles’ ‘clear message’ to Harry over Frogmore Cottage

A royal expert claims King Charles is sending a clear message to Prince Harry that he won’t be welcomed back to his beloved former home, Frogmore Cottage.

The monarch, aged 75, is reportedly urging his brother, Prince Andrew, to leave the spacious Royal Lodge in Windsor and relocate to Frogmore Cottage.

But a year on from Prince Harry’s eviction from the property, King Charles is delivering a potent message, according to royal author and expert Tom Quinn.

Mr Quinn told The Mirror: “For King Charles, forcing Andrew to move to Frogmore solves several problems at once it sends a message to Harry that, as a private citizen and no longer a working royal, he will never be allowed back to Frogmore.”

Princess Beatrice is marking her 36th birthday today, and it appears the Royal has access to plenty of spending money to splash out on celebrations.

Princess Beatrice’s net worth is reportedly now just a few years away from receiving a boost. The Royal is expected to gain a share of £5 million bequeathed by the late Queen Mother when she turns 40, just like her cousin, Prince Harry, will.

It comes after Queen Elizabeth II’s mother decided to leave her great-grandchildren most of her assets. To ensure her wishes were carried out after her death, in 1994, the Queen Mother put £19 million (approximately two thirds of her money) into a trust fund for this generation of Royals.

According to The Guardian, Prince William and Prince Harry were left the majority of the money, splitting £6 million of the trust between them when they turned 21, and the brothers also get to split another £8 million upon their 40th birthdays. The Times suggest Harry is set to receive a larger split than his brother.

The remaining £5 million will likely be split around the rest of the Queen Mother’s 10 great-grandchildren. If the share given to Harry and William is anything to go by, Beatrice would likely command the greatest split of the £5m given she’s the closest in line to the throne among her remaining cousins.

Although she won’t receive as much money as her older cousins, Princess Beatrice and her sister Eugenie previously made millions when their parents’ marriage came to an end in the nineties.

When Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson split, the terms of the divorce meant that a trust would be set up for the Duchess of York and her daughters.

According to reports, they gained £3 million from the British royal family as part of the settlement, with £1.4 million of that amount going into a trust for Beatrice and Eugenie.

King Charles’s nieces were taken off the Sovereign Grant list of royals who receive money from the UK government when they graduated from university.

After Beatrice graduated in 2011, she held down a variety of jobs, including at Sony Pictures and at software company Afiniti, where she landed a role as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships.

Celebrity Net Worth claims that Princess Beatrice currently stands at about $1 million (£786k), but it’s unclear whether or not this sum is in liquid assets and it will certainly increase when she turns 40.

Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi is also said to be worth millions, as the founder of a property consultancy firm called Banda. It specialises in discreetly finding and developing multi-million-pound homes for wealthy clients.

Meanwhile, Beatrice’s younger sister Eugenie is worth up to $4.5 million (£3.5m), according to estimates, and holds down a job as associate director for the contemporary art gallery Hauser & Wirth.

Beatrice’s cousin Harry is reportedly worth $60 million (£47m), with his wealth appearing to have multiplied following his departure from the Royal Family, alongside wife Meghan Markle.

Her older cousin Prince William’s net worth is estimated at a jaw-dropping $100 million (£78m), and also boasts an array of high-value assets, including the grand Anmer Hall in Norfolk, which he owns together with wife Princess Kate.

Cast your mind back to 2020 – we don’t mean banana bread and dalgona coffee, but Princess Beatrice’s wedding.

The eldest daughter of Prince Andrew married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at Windsor in front of just a few family members on July 17, 2020, with strict social distancing measures in place.

With the Queen in attendance before her sad demise, the wedding was a secret affair, with the ceremony taking place at St. James’s Palace followed by a reception in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

At the wedding, Beatrice paid a sweet tribute to her grandmother, wearing her old gown and tiara to finish the look.

While the gown garnered the praise of royal watchers, commentator Marlene Koenig said that picking the vintage dress was the result of a major mishap.

Beatrice was supposed to wear a different dress for the occasion but given it was during the coronavirus pandemic, designs were halted.

The Queen came to the rescue, accepting Beatrice’s request to wear the original Norman Hartnell evening dress, which was refitted for the bride within three weeks.

The commentator told the Express: “It’s just a thought but her real wedding gown was not finished and got stuck at the designers because of Covid she could no longer work on it. That’s why her grandmother gave her this lovely gown and they were able to refashion it.”

Miss Koenig added: “She didn’t even wear a new pair of shoes, which is unlikely for anyone. It was probably nearly done but the designer couldn’t do anything more, couldn’t finish it, whereas within the bubble they could rework this gown.”

The late Queen’s dresser Angela Kelly completed the outfit with the Queen’s beloved Fringe Tiara – which she inherited from her grandmother, Queen Mary, after she died in 1953.

One royal expert has spoken out about Queen Camilla’s sister being erased from the royal payroll – but did Prince William really fire her?

Queen Camilla’s interior designer sister Annabel Elliot has been removed from the royal payroll, with one expert lifting the lid on whether Prince William was behind the decision – and had fired the 75-year-old.

The Prince of Wales inherited the Duchy of Cornwall estate, which is worth over £1 billion, when his father assumed the throne in September 2022.

However, the recently published annual accounts revealed that William had made the decision to take his stepmother’s sister out of the payroll – which she had been granted for two decades for her interior design services to the Royal Family.

Annabel was first hired by the now King-Charles to act as the chief designer of his estates after tying the knot with Camilla in 2005.

Speaking of the decision to remove Camilla’s sister from the payroll, royal experts Emmy Griffiths and Emily Nash discussed whether William had been the one to “fire” her on the latest episode of A Right Royal Podcast.

Asked whether William has fired her, Emmy replied: “He hasn’t fired the Queen’s sister. Annabel Elliot is the Queen’s sister, her younger sister and she is well-established in interiors designer.

“She was working across properties owned by the Dutch of Cornwall but since Prince William has taken over as Duke of Cornwall, he has taken her off the payroll.

“So that’s caused a few ripples in a few headlines… But I don’t think there’s anything untoward about it.”

Emmy added: “She obviously has worked, depending on what the King and Queen have asked her to do, but Prince William’s coming at it fresh, he might have different plans.”

“The understanding is that people working on the estate already understand now how things should look, they’ve learnt a great deal from her.”

She also discussed that Annabel still works for the King andd Queen – privately.

Emmy added: “She is actually still working for the King and Queen privately, on their private estates, up at Balmoral and Sandringham, so it’s not really a firing but that little nigget did come out of the Duchy of Cornwall report that we discussed last time.”
