    Royal Family LIVE: Prince Harry and Meghan’s brutal ‘zero chance’ warning over next move

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have “no foreseeable way” in which they’ll be welcomed back into the royal fold, an expert claims.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were warned over their emerging business strategy by a royal commentator who claimed there is “zero chance” the couple will ever reconcile with the Royal Family.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been making a life of themselves in the US since stepping down as working members of the Firm in 2020, however, their ventures have been mostly linked to their royal ties in one way or another.

    Now US journalist and author Christopher Andersen claimed the Sussex pair have “have drifted so far out to sea” that there is “no foreseeable way” in which they’ll be welcomed back into the royal fold.

    He told Fox News: “Even if Harry was to throw himself at the king’s feet and beg for forgiveness – which Harry is not about to do – the best he could hope for would be crumbs from the royal table, and the sort of grudging acceptance that is currently being afforded to Harry’s disgraced uncle, Prince Andrew.”

    Mr Andersen added: “If Harry and Meghan are determined to monetise their titles, then they’ll just be digging that hole deeper and deeper. But if they simply use their California-centric celebrity to build their brand and steer clear of overtly capitalising on the Sussex name and Windsor connection – well, everybody has a right to make a living.

    “Even then, there would still be acrimony – and zero chance of Harry getting back into the king’s and William’s good graces.”

    The Royal Family have wished Prince William a very happy birthday as the heir to the throne celebrates his 42nd birthday today.

    Taking to social media, the official account of the Firm shared an adorable throwback picture of King Charles holding the Prince of Wales when he was just a few months old.

    The sweet black and white image shows Charles beaming at his firstborn son.

    Accompanying the picture read a short message: “Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!”

    Royal fans were quick to gush over the new image and share their own birthday wishes to the prince.

    Soon afterwards, Kensington Palace posted a new photograph of the Prince of Wales, with his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The snap was taken by Princess Kate in Norfolk last month.

    The group, dressed in casual attire, look jubilant as they appear to be jumping up in the air while holding hands against a coastal setting.

    Its caption read: “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx”.

    This is the second time the Wales children share a message on social media, with the first posted just last weekend, when they wished William a happy Father’s Day.

     

     

  • Prince William’s ‘plans for future of Royal Family are worrying’, says expert

    Prince William’s ‘plans for future of Royal Family are worrying’, says expert

    Prince William’s ‘plans for future of Royal Family are worrying’, says expert

    A royal expert has expressed his fears for the Royal Family after witnessing the diminished number of family members on the balcony at Buckingham Palace after Trooping the Colour

    Prince William reportedly has further plans to slim the Royal Family, leaving one expert worried.

    Kate’s first official appearance since announcing she was undergoing treatment for cancer delighted many royal fans as she stood smiling and looking radiant alongside her family. The Princess of Wales was side by side with her husband Prince William on the balcony of Buckingham Palace at Trooping the Colour on Saturday, and beamed happily as she waved to the crowds below.

    Accompanying them at the celebration of the King’s official birthday were their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as well as other members of the Royal Family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla. Also there were Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh with their daughter Lady Louise. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent were either side.

    The King had reportedly decided to stick with the late Queen Elizabeth’s decision to only have working royals on the balcony, so the junior members were unable to join them. In previous years, the long terrace was packed out with more minor members all squeezed in together as they watched the fly-past. Apparently it was seen as an opportunity to celebrate the entire family in all its symbolic glory.

    It’s this relatively new decision for a sparse balcony show that has one royal expert worried. Richard Eden points to the lonely figure of the Duke of Kent, who in years gone by would have been accompanied by his close family such as his wife, children and his glamorous granddaughters Lady Amelia and Lady Marina Windsor, but who on Saturday appeared as a solitary figure.

    Eden also claims other minor members of The Firm such as Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Queen Elizabeth’s adored first cousin Prince Michael of Kent, and his recently bereaved sister, Lady Gabriella Windsor, were asked to stay out of sight behind the curtain in the Centre Room at the palace, like “some embarrassing relative”.

    The King has chosen to stick with his mother’s decision to scrap tradition and keep the appearance scaled down. She originally decided it was necessary because she couldn’t exclude Harry and Meghan, as well as the troublesome Duke of York if she was allowing other non-working members to appear.

    Eden believes it would be beneficial for the royals to change this “uninspiring policy” and include more, smiling members of the family on the happy occasion, but was dismayed to find out there are apparently no plans for it in the future. In fact, he claims, the show of unity could become even more restricted.

    He says he spoke to a friend of Prince William after the weekend and “what he told me left me worried about the future of the monarchy” because William is in full agreement over the slim-lining. “He told me: ‘When the older members of the family retire, His Royal Highness won’t be inviting anyone else to become working royals. It remains to be seen if he will even want his two younger children to be working royals,” he wrote.

    Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, is the only other member to be under 60, which could mean by the time William becomes King and Kate Queen, they could be the only full-time royals left. “That is what William wants,” his source claims. “He sees the small European monarchies as the model for the future.”

    In the original plans for the future, Harry and Meghan were intended to play an integral role sharing the workload with William and Catherine, but now they are no longer involved, the King’s vision has been shattered. To solve this, the expert believes William should take a leaf out of his grandmother’s book, who asked her cousins to help her with duties. Therefore William may want to rethink his radical vision and turn to his cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor and the Earl of Wessex, for help in sharing the load when it’s time for him to ascend the throne.

    Why Adam Levine’s Return To The Voice Could Actually Be Great News For Blake Shelton Stans

    It’s likely that when The Voice announced that Adam Levine was returning in Spring 2025, there were plenty of Blake Shelton fans who were disappointed. Of course there’s the fact that of all the OG coaches, the Maroon 5 frontman was not the one they were hoping to see again, but also Levine’s return following the cowboy’s retirement from the show robs us of more of that fun early-season bromance. However, there’s a different way to look at it — the rocker’s comeback is actually a good thing, because it puts us one step closer to the only scenario Shelton said he’d return to.

    Let me be clear now: Blake Shelton has said in a dozen different ways that he’s done with The Voice and that he is happy with his choice to leave. John Legend even told us to give it up; the cowboy has ridden off into the sunset. We have learned to make our peace with why his absence is for the best.  However, IF he were to return, he has said there’s only one scenario in which that would happen. In April 2024, he told ET:

    If they were ever able to put together the original four coaches again, maybe [I’d return] for one season, a one-off. That would be fun for me… That would be something I would be interested in doing.

    That means, Blake stans, that in order to see the “Come Back as a Country Boy” singer come back as a country coach, Adam Levine HAS to be a part of it, so Season 27 will be a huge step in that direction..

    For BLAKE SHELTON Stans! This Is Why ADAM LEVINE'S Return To The Voice  Could Actually Be Great News - YouTube

    So where do CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera — the other original coaches of The Voice — stand? The Gnarls Barkley singer hasn’t appeared in a Big Red Chair since Season 5; however, he’s still very much a part of The Voice family. In addition to serving as Adam Levine’s Battle Advisor in Season 15, CeeLo performed a medley of ‘80s hits with past Team Blake members in the Season 23 finale as a tribute for Blake Shelton’s final episode.

    Christina Aguilera would definitely be the harder get. The “Genie in a Bottle” singer coached on six of The Voice’s first 10 seasons, but she hasn’t made any return appearances since leaving ahead of Season 11. In addition to being the only one of the original four to not return for Blake Shelton’s sendoff, she also didn’t participate in the celebration of the singing competition’s 25th season, which saw pre-recorded messages from many former mentors.

    In 2018 she had some choice words for The Voice as she shut down a possible comeback, saying:

    It became something that I didn’t feel was what I had signed up for in Season 1. You realize it’s not about music. It’s about making good TV moments and massaging a story.

    She also said she hadn’t signed up for a show that would tell her that there were things she couldn’t wear and things she couldn’t say. Is this a wound that time could eventually heal?

    It might be a long shot, but Blake Shelton has put the idea out into the universe, and Adam Levine — the man responsible for some of The Voice’s wildest moments — is doing his part.

    We’ll have to wait to see what the future holds, but for now keep an eye on the 2024 TV schedule for a Season 26 premiere date, which will see Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani welcome Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé to the Big Red Chairs.

    Kate Middleton sent three secret messages at Trooping the Colour including nod to the public

    Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, made a triumphant return to the public eye during Trooping the Colour, and while she looked sensational, her outfit is said to have carried hidden meanings

    Kate Middleton warmed the hearts of the nation when she waved from the Buckingham Palace balcony for the first time in six months during last weekend’s Trooping the Colour.

    While the Princess of Wales’s triumphant appearance doesn’t signal a full return to Royal duties, it certainly boosted public morale and showcased the unity of the Royal Family. However, aside from celebrating the King’s official birthday, the future Queen, who looked stunning in a recycled monochrome Jenny Packham dress, Jimmy Choo heels, a matching Philip Treacy hat and Mulberry clutch, may have been sending certain messages with her impeccable fashion choice, according to a style expert.

    Megan Watkins, Head Stylist at online fashion retailer SilkFred, analysed the Princess of Wales’s outfit for Trooping the Colour and highlighted three key details that could be interpreted as messages from the popular Royal.

    Ms Watkins told the Express that by choosing British brands for this highly anticipated appearance, the princess may have been expressing her gratitude to the public.

    The fashion guru said: “Staying true to her signature classic yet fashion-forward style, Kate stepped out in a monochrome Jenny Packham dress, Jimmy Choo pumps, a matching Philip Treacy wide-brimmed angular hat and Mulberry clutch. Here, she showed her eternal love of British brands, something she’s always championed, which could be seen as a nod to her country’s support during this hard time. Eagle-eyed royal watchers will notice that this is not the first time Kate has worn this knee-length Jenny Packham dress. She also wore the piece during the King’s Coronation weekend last year.”

    Kate’s upcycling greatly resembled the outfit of her daughter, Princess Charlotte, who donned a navy and white dress, accessorised with white Mary Jane shoes and a white bow on her hair. According to Ms Watkins, this mirroring could have meant to show “a strong sense of family unity and togetherness, perhaps signifying the ongoing support from her family”.

    Thirdly, the Princess of Wales’s choice to wear the black and white number was deemed to have carried quite a significance in a bid to reassure the public of a brighter future. The style expert said: “Although her outfit had accents of black, it was mainly white, a colour that traditionally is a symbol of hope, purity and rebirth, perhaps hinting at better times to come.

    “Although Kate has always loved a good monochrome moment, and therefore was staying true to her signature style – there was something more moving about eschewing colour on her first appearance since Christmas. Although it could perhaps suggest that she’s not quite ready to dive into bold summer colours, I believe it was also a concerted effort to not take any attention away from the King.”

    Ms Watkins added: “Kate has always been a master of ‘reading the room’ with her fashion choices, and her outfits often feel like nothing is chosen without careful consideration, and her appearance at Trooping the Colour was no exception. The coordination with her children, going for a dress she’s worn before and the choice of black and white showed a beacon of hope for the Princess, her love of family and why she will always be our formal fashion inspiration.”

  • Prince Harry pressured by ‘angry’ King Charles to make big move and ‘get round Meghan problem’

    Prince Harry pressured by ‘angry’ King Charles to make big move and ‘get round Meghan problem’

    Prince Harry could reunite with Prince William and King Charles could see more of Archie and Lilibet according to a Royal expert – who claims a bold move would not need to include Meghan…

    Prince Harry is being pressured by his dad King Charles to make a bold move to resolve the feud with his brother Prince William – and “neatly get around the problem of Meghan Markle”.

    That’s according to a Royal expert, who has suggested Princes Harry and William could be on the brink of mending their strained relationship, due to “pressure” from their father, King Charles III.

    Tom Quinn, a Royal commentator and author, has revealed that the Duke of Sussex is being urged by the King to find a UK residence so that Charles can spend more quality time with his grandchildren, Archie and Lillibet. This move could potentially pave the way for a reunion between the two brothers on British soil.

    However, Mr Quinn doubts that Meghan Markle would accompany her husband, given her past negative experiences with the Royal Family.

    Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Mr Quinn stated: “King Charles has been putting pressure on Harry to do just this as he is angry that his only relationship with his grandchildren so far is via video calls, which Charles hates. William and Kate’s children would spend the weekend at Highgrove and Harry’s children could then easily pop over from their house nearby.

    “This would neatly get round the problem of Meghan – she just wouldn’t need to be there and the children could be whisked back to the States after a week or two.”

    Despite Quinn’s speculations, Harry’s life is currently rooted in the US and he has previously discussed the possibility of becoming an American citizen. During an interview with Good Morning America, he was asked whether he had considered applying for citizenship in the States.During an interview with William Reeve, Prince Harry was quizzed: “Do you feel American?” To which he candidly replied: “Do I feel American? No… I don’t know how I feel.”

    On the topic of potentially applying for American citizenship, Harry admitted: “I have no idea. I’m here standing next to these guys. The American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind, but certainly not something that is a priority for me right now.”

    Meanwhile, Meghan Markle appears to be thoroughly enjoying her Californian lifestyle, and Royal author Omid Scobie suggests she may never return to British soil. In his explosive book ‘Endgame’, Scobie writes that Meghan “never felt at home” in the UK and is adamant about not wanting to “set foot again in England.

    “Despite not attending King Charles’ Coronation last May nor accompanying Harry to his Invictus Games event earlier this year, Scobie alleges that Meghan’s absence is due to her reluctance to “dive back into the soap opera of the court”.

    Royal expert Ingrid Seward says the Prince of Wales, who celebrates his birthday today alongside his wife Kate Middleton and his young family, has become a ‘stronger’ person after overcoming ‘traumas’ in past year

    Prince William marks his 42nd birthday today, but the celebration comes after one of the future king’s ‘most difficult’ periods.

    Indeed, while he entered his 30s as a carefree prince, the last decade has seen the Prince of Wales hit by the death of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, while his father King Charles and his wife Kate have both been diagnosed with cancer. And that’s on top of his ongoing estrangement from his brother Prince Harry and the general pressures of being a working father-of-three.

    Despite his hardships, royal commentator Ingrid Seward has said the past year has been the making of William, and that his mother, the late Princess Diana, would be proud. Speaking to the Mirror, Ingrid said: “It has been one of the most difficult couple of years of Prince William’s life.

    “In what seemed the blinking of an eye, he has gone from a carefree young dad to becoming the Prince of Wales on the death of his much-loved grandmother the late Queen. Even at that emotional moment Kate was unable to be at his side. It was their kids’ first day at a new school and she correctly felt she had to support them.

    “There was also the problem with Prince Harry whose wife Meghan felt if Kate was at the Queen’s Balmoral home she should be allowed there too. William handled the whole difficult day with finesse.”

    The course of his life took another turn when he received the devastating news that both his father and wife had cancer. His Majesty, who is receiving treatment, announced on February 6 that he had been diagnosed with a type of cancer, but did not reveal which.

    It was discovered during treatment for an enlarged prostate. He was forced to take a step back from royal duties, with the Prince of Wales stepping in for official engagements. Meanwhile, Kate announced on March 23 that she was in the early stages of treatment after a cancer diagnosis.

    In a video statement, Catherine said the news was a “huge shock” after an “incredibly tough couple of months”. Earlier in the year, Kate, 42, had undergone abdominal surgery and tests following the operation found that cancer had been present.

    “Kate gives him the security, love and friendship he needs”

    Touching on the importance of stability in his life, Ingrid continued: “William is sensitive, he likes structure and has perseverance. He does not give up easily. His relationship with brother Harry upset him more than he would care to admit. But he found it easier to cut ties rather than allow himself to be continually annoyed.

    “His life with Kate gives him the security, love and friendship he needs. He doesn’t dwell upon the loss of his mother but knows the feeling of hurt will never go away completely.” Ingrid says the events of the past year have brought William and Charles closer, as they both grieve the loss of the late Queen, while William has also learnt a lot more from his father as he prepares to be the next King.

    “They have clashed about many issues,” Ingrid added. “They still disagree but it is more constructive than it ever was. But just as things were going so well for the Prince and Princess of Wales, the hammer blow fell.

    “His father got cancer and Kate had a serious abdominal operation. Later to announce she too had to have cancer treatment. William played both mother and father to the children while he carried on with his royal duties supporting the Queen in his father’s absence.

    “The traumas of the past year have made him a stronger person. He has become the kind of man Diana always hoped he would be. Kind considerate and able to take on whatever life throws at him.”

    William’s birthday on Friday comes after he was seen beaming at Royal Ascot on Wednesday. The prince waved to cheering crowds as he joined his stepmum, who wore royal blue, as well as the Earl and Countess of Halifax in a carriage during the traditional procession.

    He was in attendance at the races without his wife Kate, who is still recovering following her cancer diagnosis. She joined the royals at Trooping the Colour on Saturday but is not expected at Royal Ascot this week.

    Meghan Markle got out of “a terrible situation” and “really is f**king it up” due to being a “terrible, terrible business person strategist,” according to Bethenny Frankel.

    Theformer The Real Housewives of New York City star said the Duchess of Sussex “is overplaying her hand” and “painting herself into a corner,” in a viral Tiktok video viewed more than 512,000 times.

    It comes after the Skinny Girl businesswoman apologized for disparaging remarks about Meghan after watching the Oprah Winfrey interview in March 2021.

    Harry, Meghan and Bethenny Frankel

    Frankel said in her Tiktok video: “She is a terrible, terrible business person strategist—she’s playing checkers, not chess. Because she is overplaying her hand and she is painting herself into a corner, becoming a woman without a country.

    “She got out of something that was a terrible situation for her and she just, she really is f**king it up,” Frankel said. “And I remember talking about this before the Oprah interview and getting death threats and losing major deals and having many A-list people text me saying that they agree with me secretly but then friends of hers text me ‘please take down what you said.’”

    She continued: “I mean it was, she’s a polarizing person, don’t get it twisted, but I made a personal choice to not be terrified and not talk because I’m scared of what happened last time.”

    Frankel, who once dated Meghan’s ex-husband Trevor Engelson, posted a tweet dismissing tensions between the duchess and palace staff shortly before the Oprah interview aired.

    At the time, she wrote: “Cry me a river…the plight of being a game show host, fairly unknown actress, to suffering in a palace, w tiaras & 7 figure weddings for TWO WHOLE YEARS to being a household name w @Oprah on speed dial, fetching 7 m for interviews, hundreds of millions in media deals.”

    However, once the full tell-all was broadcast on March 7, 2021, she apologized, writing: “I watched M & H sit down. Emotional distress & racism must feel suffocating & powerless. I’m a polarizing, unfiltered(often to a fault)flawed person w a voice. When I heard of the interview, during a pandemic, it felt like a surprising choice. I’m sorry if it hurt or offended you.”

    Eighteen months later, Frankel appeared to feel the backlash against her was not justified.

    In her Tiktok video, she said: “It was horrible getting beaten down and trolled for saying something that I read back and thought, ‘is it really that bad what I said? And then you do the apology and then it’s not the right apology for everyone. I mean, it was brutal. I’m not going to lie.”

    She added that “unfortunately she’s not married to someone who can help her” and said: “Meghan and Harry are subscribing to the never let the truth get in the way of a good story marketing strategy and it isn’t going that great.”

    Newsweek reached out to the Sussexes for comment.

    As the rift between Prince Harry and the Royal family shows no signs of healing, Meghan Markle remains his pillar of strength.

    The Sussexes enthralled admirers during their recent trip to Nigeria, an unofficial Royal visit where they were seen as the epitome of a loving couple – a belief that also appears to be shared by one of Meghan’s former Suits colleagues.

    At the Tony Awards this Sunday, Wendell Pierce, 60, gushed to PEOPLE about Harry and Meghan’s evident affection for each other when he reunited with them last year, despite the ongoing familial tensions.

    “When [Meghan] came into town, she got an award last year, had a chance to say hello and wish she and Prince Harry well and wish the children well,” Pierce recounted to the magazine.

    “They look very much in love and were very happy, so that’s the most important thing.”

    Wendell, who played Meghan’s on-screen dad in the hit series Suits until 2019, reminisced about the joy of working with her and mentioned that they have stayed in touch since the show ended.

    “I’ve gotten to see her just a few times since, and we’ve been able to reminisce and so it’s real, we have fond memories of working together,” the acclaimed actor said, reports the Mirror.

    In the same conversation, Wendell expressed his surprise at the show’s sudden resurgence in popularity last year when a new generation of fans began binge-watching the series after it was added to Netflix.

    Following this unexpected surge in viewership, it was announced earlier this year that a spinoff series, Suits LA, featuring Arrow star Stephen Amell, would welcome fans back into the world of Suits.

    Speculation has been rife about whether the Duchess herself might consider reprising her iconic role as Rachel Zane, after the Duchess herself previously told Oprah Winfrey that she would “never say never” to returning to the role.

    Adding to the speculation, the sentiment was also echoed by her former on-screen love interest Patrick Adams at this year’s Golden Globes.

    Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the time, he said: “Sure. Mike and Rachel in Seattle. They gotta come down to LA. they gotta fix some stuff.”

    He continued: “If we got the phone call, if I got the phone call, I’m ready to suit up again. I love the show, I love the character. And I loved working with all these people.”

    Prince Harry is accused of putting too much effort into his ongoing battle with the Royal Family and letting ‘history repeat itself’ regarding his mother Diana

    Prince Harry is “letting history repeat itself” by following in his mother’s footsteps and clashing with the Royal Family, according to a Royal expert.

    The Duke of Sussex has been criticised for focusing too much on attacking the Royal Family and stepping into the role his mother left behind after her ongoing feud with ‘The Firm’. In his memoir Spare, Harry discussed Princess Diana and her legacy, expressing his desire for “peace” within his family.

    Royal author and expert Tom Quinn has warned that Harry risks perpetuating the situation if he continues to dwell on Diana’s struggles. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Quinn said: “Harry’s comment in Spare that he ‘wants peace’ with the royal family for the sake of his mother is undoubtedly heartfelt, but in being so focused on Diana, Harry is actually allowing history to repeat itself.”

    Quinn further suggested that Harry has assumed his mother’s “mantle” as an adult. He explained: “Diana famously fell out with ‘the firm’ as she called it and spent much of her adult life criticising an institution she felt had let her down. Harry has taken on his mother’s mantle by carrying on exactly the same kind of criticism.”

    The expert has shed light on Prince Harry’s struggle following the tragic loss of his mother in 1997. The prince, just 12 years old when Princess Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris, has openly discussed the mental toll that her death took on him.

    Mr Quinn told the Mirror: “He hates that he feels he has to do this and he would like to be close again to his father King Charles and his brother Prince William, but like his mother he’s locked into a battle that has become an obsession for him.”

    He also claimed Harry’s time in the military served as an escape for him from the ongoing battle he has had with his emotions not just over his mother but with feelings of isolation and not fitting in throughout his life.

    Mr Quinn added: “Harry‘s statement that fighting in Afghanistan was better than remaining in Britain makes complete sense given that we know one of the few periods in his life during which he was happy was his time in the military. Fighting in Afghanistan gave him a sense of camaraderie that he has never had with his family.”
