Prince Harry desperate to fix his feud with Prince William after years-long war

Prince Harry to throw himself at Prince William’s feet to end feud

Prince Harry is ready to throw himself at Prince William’s feet if he does not forgive him for his scathing attacks against the Royal family, especially Kate Middleton.

Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is thinking of paying a surprise visit to the Royal family in coming days after realizing that it has been too long since they stopped talking.

Speaking with Closer Magazine, a source revealed that Harry believes “following protocol and waiting for their invite would be a much more advisable route to take.”

Hence, he has decided to fly to the UK uninvited. “Harry is tired of waiting and won’t be talked out of this plan,” the insider revealed.

They said Meghan Markle’s husband is “consumed with the idea that he can throw himself at his family’s feet and fix this feud.”

“He’s convinced that if he gives them a true and heartfelt apology, they won’t be able to stay angry with him,” they added. “But that doesn’t mean they’re going to welcome him with open arms.”

The main hurdle between him and the Royal family is Queen Camilla, who will not allow Harry to get any close with King Charles, and Prince William himself.

“Camilla is so protective of Charles; odds are Harry won’t get even a minute alone with his dad. And William is bound to be even colder. He’s pushing his luck by taking a bulldozer style approach to this.”

Here’s why Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson split

 

Let’s face it, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have always been one of the more ~controversial~ Royal couples. In fact, over the years their relationship has endured more drama than we can even remember. But while the pair might have divorced over two decades ago, they have managed to remain close friends and are still living together. So, let’s take a look at where it all began…

Where did they meet?

Funnily enough, this Royal pair didn’t bond over a kebab after a drunken night out at Uni. Big surprise. These two have actually known each other since they were kids and used to hang out at the same royally posh polo matches.

According to the Daily Mail‘s reporter Rebecca English, a friend of Sarah (AKA Fergie) told her: “Even at the age of ten, Andrew and Sarah knew that they would marry!”

When did they get engaged?

Fast forward a few years and these two were reportedly reunited by Princess Diana herself after she invited Fergie to Royal Ascot in 1985. Long story short, they fell madly in love and announced their engagement just a year later on March 19, 1986.

And here’s something to make you feel all warm inside – Prince Andrew designed Sarah’s ruby engagement ring himself to match her red hair. And the royal romance doesn’t end there as he later said in the pair’s engagement speech, “It was at Ascot, as it were, that the whole thing took off. But it wasn’t Ascot, as such, when we realised that there was anything in it. It was later on.”

Just six months later Sarah and Prince Andrew married at Westminster Abbey before jetting off to spend their honeymoon on the Azore Islands in Portgual. OKAY, that’s the lovey-dovey stuff done, now comes the drama.

Why did they split?

After welcoming Princess Beatrice in 1988 and then Princess Eugenie two years later, the rumour mill went into overdrive that Andrew and Fergie’s relationship was on the rocks. Following weeks of speculation – including whispers of infidelity – in 1992 Buckingham Palace was forced to announce that the Duke and Duchess of York would in fact be separating “amicably”.

“In view of the media speculation which the Queen finds especially undesirable during the general election campaign, Her Majesty is issuing the following statement: Last week, lawyers acting for the Duchess of York initiated discussions about a formal separation for the Duke and Duchess. These discussions are not yet completed and nothing will be said until they are. The Queen hopes that the media will spare the Duke and Duchess of York and their children any intrusion.”

The scandal was stepped up a notch when Fergie was later snapped on holiday in St Tropez having her toes sucked by her Texan financial adviser, John Bryan while she was still married to Prince Andrew. After the controversial photos were published in The Sun, Fergie finally addressed the whole debacle, saying, “I remember seeing it and just going, oh no, Sarah. And that’s when Caroline, my best friend in the world, do you remember Caroline? She said to me, ‘Now you need help, Sarah.’”

The Royal family and Fergie

Unfortunately, things only got messier from then on, with Andrew’s family and Fergie not exactly parting ways on good terms. According to The Telegraph, Fergie was plunged into a load of debt which she then tried to clear by making a deal with newspaper reporters. Thomas Markle eat your heart out.

To make matters worse, the Queen’s sister Princess Margaret penned a handwritten – and pretty savage – letter in response to some flowers Fergie sent. “You have done more to bring shame on the family than could ever have been imagined”, it said.

In reference to the ‘toe-sucking’ snaps, the Princess added, “Not once have you hung your head in embarrassment even for a minute after those disgraceful photographs. Clearly you have never considered the damage you are causing us all. How dare you discredit us like this and how dare you send me those flowers?” Ouch.

Their relationship now

Regardless of all the family drama, Fergie and Andrew have actually kept a pretty close bond. They even continued to holiday as a family at their shared £13m ski lodge in the posh Swiss resort of Verbier. And apparently, they’re still living together in Windsor’s Royal Lodge.

But that doesn’t mean all is forgotten and rumour has it there’s still some major beef with Prince Charles and Fergie. In fact, when Meghan Markle married Prince Harry earlier this year, she was left off the guest list for an evening do hosted by Charles.

While Prince Andrew’s ex-wife *was* invited to the wedding and general reception, she didn’t make it onto the exclusive list for a second party for just 250 people. FYI Prince Andrew and the couple’s kids Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie did nab themselves invites. Awkward.

A source told the Daily Mail, “Numbers are limited to the evening party, she is not a member of the Royal Family any more and Prince Charles simply doesn’t have time for her. He just can’t see why she is still such a big part of his brother’s life.”

As you can imagine, Fergie wasn’t best impressed by the rather public snub especially considering she didn’t make it onto the guestlist for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s big day back in 2011 either…

What will happen next?

So, will these two ever get back together? Well, in an interview on Australian radio last year, Fergie was asked she would ever remarry Prince Andrew, to which she replied, “I always think ‘have we really?’.

“We’re divorced to each other right now. We’ve never really left each other.”

And on that note, I’m just going to leave this final tribute from Fergie to the “best looking” Andrew here…

“Dorian Regland, the mother of Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, extends her deepest sympathies and unwavering support to Princess Kate and Prince William, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, during this tumultuous period. As they navigate the complexities of their roles within the royal family and the pressures that accompany them, Dorian sends her prayers as a beacon of comfort and strength.

 

Drawing from her own experiences as a mother and a woman in the public eye, Dorian understands the weight of scrutiny and the importance of resilience in times of adversity. With empathy and solidarity, she stands alongside the royal couple, offering not only her thoughts but also her unwavering support.

 

In this moment of shared humanity, Dorian emphasizes the power of compassion and understanding, transcending any differences or distances that may exist. Her words echo across continents, serving as a reminder of the universal bonds that connect us all.

May her heartfelt sentiments provide solace and reassurance to Princess Kate and Prince William, guiding them through the challenges they face with grace and resilience.”

The portrait artist referenced ‘exiled princes and princesses of the past that lurk in the background’ as inspirations behind his Sussex paintings

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been portrayed as historical British royal figures in a series of new works by a Welsh portrait artist.

Dan Llywelyn Hall, from Barry in South Wales, had risen to fame when he was commissioned by the Welsh Rugby Union to create a portrait of Elizabeth II – making him the youngest artist, at 32, to paint the late Queen – in 2012.

In the 12 years since, he’s painted actual subjects including Prince William, the Queen’s funeral, King Charles III’s Coronation procession and Nigel Farage.

But now, Llywelyn Hall has produced 10 new portraits inspired by royalty throughout history for the 150th anniversary of the Society of Antiquaries – which will go on display at an exhibition at Burlington House on Piccadilly in London.

The painter’s two most cutting portraits focus on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – who are depicted respectively as Bonnie Prince Charlie and Dame Elizabeth Grey, Queen of England by marriage to King Edward IV.

He said: “The Royal Family is possibly the most enthralling longest-running drama in history, the inspiration of theatre, books and every art form.

“It seemed that these figures caught on the knife edge of public opinion were ideal for drawing comparisons from distant monarchs – like the exiled princes and princesses of the past that lurk in the background but are still irrevocably tied to the job.

“We can’t help ourselves and wonder whatever next?”

The painter drew inspiration from the “exiled princes and princesses of the past that lurk in the background”

Llywelyn Hall, talking about Meghan’s portrait, called Returning White Queen, said: “I thought putting Meghan in the role of the White Queen, who was a Queen Consort and possibly the most influential ‘outsider’ in royal history, might have a fine irony to it and not necessarily beyond the realms of reality.”

While on his Harry headshot, a piece entitled Spectre Of The Bonny Prince, he said: “I have entered the story before he met Meghan – the young party-goer with his future very much in the balance, a bit like the Bonnie Prince I have likened him to.”

More generally, and reflecting on his previous and latest pieces of royal art, the artist said said: “I see the subject of royalty [as] utterly irresistible and rich succour for art.

“The funeral piece and the subsequent King’s Coronation piece are part of that lineage and my part in interpreting our times.”

He’s also painted Barbara Windsor in a portrait called An East End Girl

He acknowledged there is now a large amount of photography of the Royal Family but said a painting can have “greater authenticity”.

Among his other subjects? One Nigel Farage, who sat for him some five years ago for his portrait, entitled Mr Brexit, and Dame Barbara Windsor, who featured in another work called An East End Girl.

While other works in his contributions to the Society of Antiquaries’s exhibition include portraits of Mary I, Mary of Austria, Henry VI, and Anglo-Saxon king Athelstan, who ruled from 927 until his death in 939.

He has also included Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, known as Llywelyn the Last, one of the most powerful princes of Gwynedd.

Llywelyn Hall said: “There are virtually zero depictions, painted or otherwise, of Welsh nobility – and this was as frustrating as liberating.”

 

Megyn Kelly criticizes Meghan Markle for the way she addresses Prince Harry

Megyn Kelly has another bone to pick with Meghan Markle and this time it’s because she has an issue with the fact she refers to Prince Harry as ‘her husband’.

On the latest episode of her podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show, the American media commentator slammed Markle and said she’d had enough.

‘We get it, you bagged the gorilla,’ she said on Tuesday’s episode.

‘Congratulations, you got the big bear, [and] you want us all to know.’

The comments were in response to the latest episode of Markle’s own podcast, Archetypes, when she said that her husband was ‘great’ with contributing equally to parenting.

‘Oh, my husband? Oh, he’s great,’ she said.

‘[He] gets [Archie] downstairs’, while she added she would make breakfast for the family.

‘It’s very important to me. I love doing it.’

With Christopher Anderson, author of The King: The Life of Charles III, Kelly’s guest on the program, the pair also discussed claims made in the Oprah interview, including a part where Markle said she never looked up the Royal family prior to her relationship.

Anderson claimed that, like ‘every other young woman’, she knew exactly who they were.

‘Let’s get real, there’s always that eligible bachelor,’ Kelly agreed.

‘For my age, it was JFK Jr., for her age it was Prince Harry.’

Kelly also criticised the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for ‘ripping on the Royals to whom they owe, literally, all of their fame and most of their fortune.’

The comments come as the world waits to see the contents of Harry’s memoir, Spare, which will now be released on January 10 after being delayed due to the Queen’s passing.

The 416-page book has been billed by publisher Penguin Random House as a work of ‘raw, unflinching honesty’.

Relatives were not given a heads-up on the title – a reference to the phrase the ‘the heir and the spare’ – in advance of last week’s announcement, with a source telling the Daily Mail it will be seen as both ‘controversial’ and ‘provocative’.

Harry has previously called the book a ‘truthful and wholly accurate’ portrait of his life – the prospect of which has sent shockwaves through the royal establishment.

Meghan Markle feels ‘betrayed’ as Prince Harry reconnects with Kate Middleton

Prince Harry has reconnected with Kate Middleton since she was diagnosed with cancer, a source has revealed, adding that their “special” but “secret” reunion has not set well with Meghan Markle.

 

According to Life & Style, the Princess of Wales confides in Harry about her battle with cancer even though he leaked their private matters in his interviews and bombshell memoir, Spare.

While the two haven’t been seen together since the Duke of Sussex moved to US with his wife, an insider has claimed that the duo have reestablished contact.

At first, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex was “blindsided and felt, maybe, a bit betrayed,” however, due to gravity of Kate’s diagnosis, the former star set aside her feelings.

 

“She accepts that she wasn’t around when Kate and Harry first became friends” and knows that her husband “really respected and admired Kate before things got bad between all of them.”

 

So, the Duchess seems to have accepted their re-established bond, the source noted before alluding that it might lead to end of their years-long feud.

“Harry, William, Kate and Meghan haven’t put the past behind them just yet,” added the tipster. “For the first time in a long time, though, there’s promise.”

Sarah Ferguson provides update on relationship status with Prince Andrew

Sarah and Andrew’s 10-year marriage ended in 1996 – but the pair of exes have maintained a sturdy friendship in the years since

The Duchess of York has provided an update on her relationship with ex-husband Prince Andrew amid growing speculation over the former couple’s status.

Speaking on a promotional tour for her latest romance novel, Sarah was asked whether she would ever tie the knot with her ex-husband – Britain’s least popular royal, according to YouGov polling.

But in a cut-and-dry rebuke, Fergie said: “I get asked that all the time! We’re happy with the way we are right now, thank you.”

While she was quick to shut down the line of questioning of late, the 64-year-old duchess has been a little less clear in the past.

At a prior promotional event for her writings, she was also asked whether a remarriage was on the cards.

Ferguson had replied: “He’s still my handsome prince… He’ll always be my handsome prince. It’s lovely that we are such a family and the story has a happy ending all the time.

And she has previously declared: “We’re divorced to each other, not from each other. We are co-parents who support each other and believe that family is everything.

“I’m proud of the job we have done together in bringing up our children and sustaining a strong family unit. Our bywords are communication, compromise and compassion.”Sarah shared words with ex-rugby star Mike Tindall at Royal Ascot last week

While royal historian Marlene Koenig has told GB News: “Remarriage would make Sarah a member of the Royal Family, with pressures that have not existed since their divorce.

“I cannot predict, but I would be surprised if they remarried. Their relationship improved with divorce.”

Sarah and Andrew’s 10-year marriage ended in 1996 – but the pair of exes have since maintained a sturdy friendship, with Fergie even taking up residence at Royal Lodge, the duke’s home since 2003.

And at the recent book promo, she praised Andrew, saying he was doing “very well” and that “he is loving being a grandfather – he is a wonderful father and grandfather”.

Piers Morgan attacks Meghan Markle’s ‘downright lies’ in new interview: “I don’t believe a word she says

Piers Morgan attacks Meghan Markle’s ‘downright lies’ in new interview

Piers Morgan is set to attack Meghan Markle’s “downright lies” in an upcoming interview with Australia’s “60 Minutes.”

The former “Good Morning Britain” anchor sat down with journalist Karl Stefanovic to discuss his war on cancel culture as well as his ongoing battle with the Duchess of Sussex, with whom he’s been fighting since she allegedly ghosted him and their friendship.

“I don’t believe a word she says,” Morgan, 56, said of Markle, 39, in a sneak peek at Sunday’s episode.

 

Looking back on the “Suits” alum’s since-refuted claim that she and Harry, 36, had secretly married days before their royal wedding in May 2018, Morgan added, “They were downright lies. … That [ceremony] would make the Archbishop of Canterbury a criminal.”

It’s ironic that Morgan sat down with Stefanovic, as the Nine Network presenter, 46, has been one of Markle’s staunchest defenders. Stefanovic also once called Morgan “disgraceful.”

In the clip from their interview, the TV personalities butted heads after Morgan claimed that Markle was pretending to be in love with Harry.

“I’ve got something to say about that,” Stefanovic replied. “I think that’s disgraceful. I think she is an amazing, amazing woman. I think she is doing her very best at the moment, and she’s got a lot on her plate. She’s doing it so beautifully. She’s such a great export for Great Britain.”

Turning his ire on Morgan, Stefanovic added, “I mean, what is that guy on? He’s lost the plot completely.

“I don’t know how his poor co-host puts up with it. Imagine putting up with a dude like that who is so up himself and so egotistical that he would assume to say those things about her?”

Morgan quit “Good Morning Britain” in March after he stormed off the set during a heated discussion about Markle and Harry.

In Stevanovic’s forthcoming interview with Morgan, he dubs his fellow journalist “an angry old man.”

“Freedom of speech is actually more important than the Meghan Markle debacle,” Morgan responded. “Who are these ‘woke’ people marching around like they are Kim Jong Un with a dash of Vladimir Putin?

“Come on, everybody, take a chill pill.”

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, appeared to give a subtle nod to Kate, Princess of Wales, as she attended a major royal event.

The Duchess was the second-most senior royal attending the state banquet held at Buckingham Palace on the evening of June 25 in honour of the Emperor and Empress of Japan.

At the major engagement, Sophie dazzled in a green short-sleeved dress by Suzannah, which she paired with glittering jewels including the Lotus Flower Tiara and a diamond necklace, lent to her by Queen Camilla.

Kate decided to wear for that event a long-sleeved red gown decorated with sequins by one of her favourite designers, Jenny Packham. The tiara was a favourite of Princess Margaret, the adored sister of late Queen Elizabeth II.

The princess received it from the late Queen Mother, who had it crafted in the early 1920s from a diamond and pearl necklace which she had received as a wedding present.

Kate was absent from the state banquet as she continues her cancer treatment. The Princess of Wales was seen in public earlier this month, as she attended the Trooping the Colour parade.
