The King showed off his showbusiness credentials tonight as he was joined by a host of celebrity ambassadors including David Beckham to mark his star-studded inaugural King’s Foundation Awards.

Charles, 75, whose diary remains busy despite his cancer treatment continuing, was joined at St James’ Palace in London by close friend Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster, who shared a peck on the cheek with the monarch.

Actress Sienna Miller, editor Edward Enninful, model Naomi Campbell, gardener and presenter Alan Titchmarsh and chef Raymond Blanc also handed out awards.

In one hilarious moment singer Sir Rod, 79, publicly teased former England football captain Beckham, 49, telling him his knighthood was coming soon.

Taking to the stage at St James’s Palace in London to present The Teaching Award with his wife, Lady Penny Lancaster, who is also an ambassador, Sir Rod asked if he could say a few words.

‘Penny and I are so honoured to be ambassadors for the King Trust,’ he said. Lady Penny corrected him: ‘Foundation.’

‘B*******! ‘ Sir Rod laughed, still speaking loudly down the microphone. ‘Oh, I probably shouldn’t have said that!’

Lady Penny, wearing a stunning gold dress, giggled and laughed behind him and pretended to cross herself.

He then said cheekily and waved his fist triumphantly: ‘I am also wonderfully honoured to be a knight and David, yours is coming soon!’

‘And what about me!’ shouted out legendary chef Raymond Blanc jokingly, who was also presenting an award. Beckham could be seen shaking his head and laughing.

As the singer went back to the crowd to stand next to him the former England football captain whispered, still laughing: ‘Thanks Rod, thanks very much’ and wiped his eyes.

Sir Rod laughed mischievously when asked about his exchange with Beckham. ‘He’s a great man. I know him well and he can take it, he has a great sense of humour,’ he said.

Asked about his slip of the tongue on the microphone he grinned and said: ‘I did swear, didn’t I? Well there’s always got to be someone getting the party started!’

Moment Sir Rod Stewart gets name of the King’s new charity wrong

The King’s Foundation Awards have been designed to celebrate students, teachers, alumni and partners of his foundation which provides educational courses, wellbeing programmes and spearheads regeneration projects across the UK, inspired by the monarch’s long-standing ethos of working with nature.

Beckham was recently announced as an ambassador for the King’s Foundation and met with His Majesty at Highgrove.

The King looked delighted to see him again and greeted him warmly. His Majesty referred to England’s recent 1-0 defeat to Iceland and the forthcoming Euros, chuckling: ‘It was very bad luck, I must say, David.’

Beckham replied: ‘No, no, I don’t think we should reward too much into that.’ ‘It doesn’t really matter, does it?’ His Majesty replied. ‘It was a warming up session.’

‘Warming up. We’ll be ok,’ the sportsman said. The King added: ‘Because you don’t want to expend it all in one go at the beginning.‘ ‘We’ll be ready,’ Beckham said.

Tonight’s awards, which are planned to be an annual event, saw nine awards given out, culminating in the monarch personally presenting The King Charles III Harmony Award, given to an individual to recognise their long-term commitment to the foundation’s mission.

The awards also featured live demonstrations of some of The King’s Foundation’s education programmes including furniture-making, woodworking and embroidery.

The charity – which was first founded by the King in 1990 when Prince of Wales – is particularly keen to support learning and entrepreneurship across traditional arts, textiles, rural skills, health and wellbeing and even recently teamed up with CHANEL.

Its headquarter are at Dumfries House in Scotland, which was saved by a consortium led by the King, and also cares for the Castle of Mey in Caithness and Highgrove Gardens in Gloucestershire. In addition, it runs from three further educational sites in London.

At St James’ Palace tonight 250 guests were greeted by pipers from the National Piping Centre and the Rock Choir who are based in Tetbury and often perform at Highgrove.

In a speech the King, who was preceded by pipers as he entered the room and presented his award to Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary General of the UN, said: ‘I really am delighted to be here with you all at the inaugural King’s Foundation Awards and to present the very first King Charles III Harmony Award.

Rod Stewart speaks as he presents the Teaching award at King Charles III’s inaugural King’s Foundation charity awards

‘This was an award created to recognise the individuals who champion the values which underpin the King’s Foundations’s mission and my own hope that we live in harmony with nature.

‘Today this award recognises an individual’s tireless dedication to promoting these ideal on the global stage.’

Lady Penny and Sir Rod were united in their admiration for the King and what he has achieved.

‘It’s wonderful, it’s a great honour. I come from a very poor family and to find myself here in this wonderful place is a great honour. We all have to remember where we come from,’ Sir Rod said.

The singer said he had ‘huge admiration’ for the way the King had continued to work throughout his cancer treatment.

‘He had treatment today, he told me. I went through all that. I had treatment five days a week. Like him, I was still working. He’s remarkable,’ he added.

Lady Penny said: ‘Just like my husband, His Majesty’s work ethic is incredible. He was the driving force behind looking after the planet, our communities, our historical buildings. He’s been that driving force for so many years before everyone got on the bandwagon.

‘He knew exactly what he was talking about and the fact that he was itching to get back to work and do what he does best.

‘He wants to make sure he makes his mark and raises enough awareness among people, so the younger generation will come through and follow on his work.

‘Her Majesty, of course, was the shining beacon and he was always in her shadow. He’s had the best teacher in the world. But it’s his time now.

The King looked in great spirits as he attended the star-studded awards this evening

‘We have such respect for him and if we can do anything tiny bit to support him and his dreams and wishes to make it a better place then we absolutely will. We have always been supporters.’

Alan Titchmarsh said he had earlier chatted to Beckham about gardening, who had explained that his hands were covered in scratches from planting roses in his garden.

‘Yes but he’ll never get me to be as good as football as I can get him to be good at gardening. The main thing is that he is keen. He loves doing it. He’s discovered what I discovered at ten,’ he smiled.

Isabelle Pennington-Edmead, 27, from Warrington, won the Young Entrepreneur Award after graduating from The King’s Foundation Modern Artisan programme and has set up her own fashion label. She received her award from actress and model Sienna Miller.

She said: ‘It’s difficult for people like me from the background I come from to get that kind of training. Gradates struggle to find a job and that hands on experience. It was a very unique course.

‘The King has been so supportive and wants to help creatives and respects creatives and respects the fact that not everyone comes from a background where you have an automatic road into the industry. Without the Foundation I wouldn’t have had the stepping stones to do what I’ve done.’

Charles’s diary remains busy after he travelled to France for the D-Day 80th anniversary commemorations last week despite his cancer treatment continuing.

Yesterday, the King was at Windsor Castle for a ceremony which saw him present new colours to the Irish Guards and inspect the guardsmen and officers on parade.

He will also have a high-profile appearance at Trooping the Colour in London this Saturday, then attend the annual Garter Day service at Windsor Castle next Monday.

The King’s Foundation, based at Dumfries House in East Ayrshire, is the custodian of the Highgrove Gardens in Gloucestershire and Castle of Mey in Caithness.

It offers workshops, programmes and short courses focused on heritage and craft skills at its Barley Court education centre on the Highgrove estate.

And it aims to revitalise communities through urban regeneration and planning, and support sustainable food production and teach rural skills.

The King’s Foundation is a charity founded by Charles when he was Prince of Wales in 1990.

The charity offers education courses for almost 15,000 students annually, and health and wellbeing programmes for nearly 2,000 people every year.

It also works on placemaking and regeneration projects in the UK and overseas with the aim of revitalising communities and historic buildings.

And the foundation carries out work at educational and cultural hubs in London, based at The King’s Foundation School for Traditional Arts in Shoreditch, Trinity Buoy Wharf on the River Thames and the Garrison Chapel in Chelsea.

In addition to its UK presence, the foundation delivers programmes and projects in more than a dozen sites abroad.

Last November, Buckingham Palace announced that the King’s long-standing charities had been rebranded in recognition of his accession to the throne,

As the Prince of Wales, Charles set up the youth charity the Prince’s Trust; the Prince’s Foundation and the grant-giving Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund (PWCF).

But 14 months after he became monarch and a week ahead of his 75th birthday, the palace announced the organisations’ names had been updated to become The King’s Trust, The King’s Foundation and King Charles III Charitable Fund.

Charles once spoke of his hope his two sons William and Harry, now the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, would take over the Prince’s Trust, which he set up with his Navy severance pay in 1976.

But William is paving his own way as the new heir to the throne, focusing on homelessness and mental health.

Harry, amid continued fractures in family relations after his Netflix documentary and autobiography Spare, is living thousands of miles away in the US with his wife Meghan Markle having quit as a working royal.

The switch in name to The King’s Foundation meant the monarch could keep the organisation and the two others firmly under his wing, despite the demands of his role as King.

The changes also gave something of a fresh start to the former Prince’s Foundation in the wake of the cash-for-honours allegations.

The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation in February 2022 following a series of newspaper articles accusing Michael Fawcett, formerly the foundation’s chief executive and a close confidant of the King, of promising to help a Saudi billionaire donor achieve British citizenship and a knighthood.

But detectives investigating the claims announced in August last year that they were taking no further action.

The foundation’s recent initiatives have included a Winter Warmers drive with free hot drinks and soup and craft activities at Charles’s country estate Highgrove to help combat loneliness and the cost-of-living crisis.

It also collaborated on a luxury fashion line with Yoox Net-A-Porter – as part of its Modern Artisan project, which gives students from the UK and Italy the chance to design and make the sustainable line of outfits as part of a textiles skills training initiative.

Last week it was announced that former England football captain David Beckham had been named a King’s Foundation ambassador.

Beckham was confirmed as an official supporter of the organisation a few weeks after he met the monarch privately to learn more about its work.

Piers Morgan says ‘who the f*** does Meghan Markle think she is’ as she returns to UK

Here he goes again.

Piers Morgan has lashed out again at Meghan Markle, asking “who the f*** does she think she is” as she stepped back on British soil with her husband, Prince Harry.

It would be unlike the former GMB host  to avoid commenting on anything the former Suits star does, so it it is not surprise that he’s inserted himself into her personal business yet again.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were back in the UK on Monday as they appeared at the One Young World Summit in Manchester.

It comes after Meghan debuted her new podcast Archetypes, where she interviewed Mariah Carey and Serena Williams while indirectly touching on her time in the royal family.

Additionally, during a recent The Cut magazine, she said that the British media had called her children “the N-word”.

Meghan also seemed to say Prince Harry had talked about a breakdown in his relationship with his own father Prince Charles after the couple moved to the United States. Though, royal correspondent Omid Scobie, and Meghan’s unofficial spokesperson, later said on social media that his understanding was that Prince Harry was actually referring to Meghan’s loss of her own father.

So it’s not a plot twist in the slightest that Piers used his return to his show Uncensored to lam into the Duchess Meghan, claiming that she and Harry wanted to “fleece” their titles and he “wasn’t having any of it” and suggesting that they were “damaging the monarchy with every interview they give”.

Not one to stop there, Piers also took to his column in The Sun as he fumed: “Even by her standards, it’s staggeringly, stupendously, preposterously absurd for a woman who married a multi-millionaire prince, gave up her job, and now lives entirely off the gargantuan proceeds of his royal status that she ruthlessly fleeces to the highest bidders, lecturing anyone about poverty and equality.

“But for Markle to pull this stunt in Britain, the country she loathes and couldn’t wait to abandon once she sunk her claws into halfwit Harry, at a time when we’re in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the end of World War Two, is as sickening as it’s outrageous.”

He added: “To be blunt, who the f*** does she think she is coming back here at all after all the vile manure she’s gleefully flung at Britain, the Monarchy and the Royal Family?”

Piers went on to accuse the couple of being “shamefully tone deaf” for giving a keynote address about poverty and gender equality.

Not one to stop there, he suggested that Meghan and Harry should be stripped of their royal titles.

The presenter said: “As always with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – I still don’t understand why the hell they’re allowed to keep these titles given how cynically they exploit them for personal financial gain – their actions are riddled with hypocrisy”.

Tell us how you really feel, Piers?

Meghan Markle sets strict terms for UK return with Harry

Meghan Markle ‘rules out’ living with royal family on potential UK return

Meghan Markle is not completely hostile to the idea of returning to the UK with Prince Harry should her conditions are met.

Speaking to The Mirror, royal expert Tom Quinn revealed the Duchess of Sussex is ready to face off British public again if they are provided apt security alongside a place of their own.

Meghan last visited the UK to attend funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth in 2022.

Meanwhile, the prince recently took a whistlestop trip to his homeland to celebrate 10 years of The Invictus Games with a church service.

Mr Quinn shared: “Meghan has said she’s only prepared to return to England if she and Harry have a place of their own and the security they both feel is essential. Meghan will never return to the UK and stay with her husband‘s relatives.

“If the couple manage to find a permanent home and sort out the security issue they will certainly want to bring their children to the UK,” he continued.

However, the royal expert noted, “It’s going to take a lot of diplomacy to get to the point where Archie and Lili are able to develop a genuine and warm relationship with their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis.”

Meghan Markle’s cousin shares rare details about Duchess’ childhood

The Duchess of Sussex’s estranged cousin talked about their childhood memories

Meghan Markle was helpful and kind towards her family, as defined by her cousin Shawn Johnson.

In conversation with Daily Mail, Shawn, who is no longer in contact with the Duchess of Sussex, has shared a rare insight into her childhood traits.

He said, “She was always really sweet. She was kind and she always had a star quality about her.

The son of Meghan’s maternal uncle added, “She was infectious with just the way she was and really mature for her age. She was always really looking after us and making sure that we’re all doing fine.”

The former working royal’s estranged cousin admitted that they are happy with how “her life turned out the way it did for her.”

He further said, “We just had that feeling she was going to do something amazing.”

Speaking of Meghan’s ‘helpful’ nature, Shawn said, “She made our childhood great – she was a big part of it.”

He continued, “I have no bad memories, no anything of her having any weird attitude issues or anything like that.”

“She was always just really, even later in the teenage years, she was really mature and kind of ahead of the curve.”

 

Meghan Markle reacts to The King’ decision to strip her Royal title

Meghan Markle warns King Charles, Prince William against royal title stripping

Meghan Markle has sent a message to King Charles and Prince William to not make a fool out of themselves by stripping her and Prince Harry’s royal titles.

A source close to the Duchess of Sussex has revealed what she thinks of reports about the monarch and Prince of Wales having discussions about removing her and Harry’s titles.

For the unversed, royal expert and author Tom Quinn has claimed Charles and William have been having lengthy discussions about doing something about the Sussexes’ titles.

However, the expert noted that “the last thing they want is to give the renegades something else to complain about.”

“William and his father know that even without their royal titles Meghan and Harry would carry on traveling the world as if they were royals and most people in the world will still welcome them.”

Issuing a warning to Charles and William, the insider said that Meghan is confident that the title stripping would only backfire on the royals.

“Charles and William are right to worry that stripping the rogue couple of titles would only result in them with egg on their face,” Meghan’s alleged mouth-piece said, as per Radar Online.

“To many people, who have no idea of royal protocol or even care, Harry and Meghan will always be ‘prince’ or ‘duke and duchess’ no matter what the king does,” the tipster continued.

“So stripping the titles would be a waste of time — and make Charles and William look like petty sore losers.”

Meghan Markle reacts to being named in ‘most disliked’ celebrity list

Meghan Markle reacts to inclusion in ‘most disliked’ celebrity list

Meghan Markle is beyond caring about what people think as she continues to roll out series of projects.

The Duchess of Sussex was named one of the most disliked celebrities of 2024 in a new Ranker poll released earlier this week.

However, according to PR expert Lynn Carratt, she is not taking the latest blow by heart. “I believe Meghan will take the survey data with a pinch of salt. I’m not sure how interested she is anymore in getting the British public back on her side,” she said, reported via the Daily Mail.

The PR Box spokesperson explained: “She is American and that is where her family life is now, so she will be more concerned in raising her popularity in her own country and focusing on building her brand American Rivera Orchard and making it a huge success.”

As per the results, 65% of the 31,400 Brits who took part in the poll had negative view of the Suits alum, placing her fourth in the list.

American celebrities like Sean ‘Combs’ Diddy, James Corden, and Amber Heard among others are also on the “most hated celebrities” list.

 

Prince Harry’s infidelity to Meghan Clarke with Sarah Ann Macklin: He did everything he could to get her number

Harry’s temptation resurfaced in book ‘Harry: Conversations with the Prince’

Since the book ‘Harry: Conversations with the Prince’ by Angela Levin was published, it has given a lot to talk about as, after all, it has addressed many controversial, unique and/or curious questions about Prince Harry himself, the protagonist of the book.

Over time, various stories have emerged around the British royal, although some have been more talked about than others.

One of the ones that has drawn the most attention recently, although the issue arose in 2016, was the infidelity that the prince committed against his wife, Meghan Markle.

It was with British model Sarah Ann Macklin.

Harry and Sarah Ann Macklin

At the time, various media claimed the son of Charles III of the United Kingdom was very interested in her.

“He met Sarah Ann Macklin at a party and they left together that night,” wrote the book’s author, Angela Levin, in one of the chapters dedicated to infidelity.

According to her, it could have been something more serious, since they went on several dates.

“During the early days of his relationship with Meghan, Harry went on dates with Macklin,” she explains.

“They met at a private party and he did everything he could to get her phone number. Then, he bombarded her with text messages.”

So, that seemed to be more than a one-night stand, as Harry thought she was a great woman.

He met with her on several occasions, although at the time he had already been linked to Meghan Markle.

This dynamic would have continued until the moment when the prince traveled to Africa, at which point it would have all ended.

What went wrong

Apparently, the trip was a motive, but not the only one, as their lifestyles were quite opposite.

“A friend of hers told me: ‘They tried, although they were very different. She led a very healthy life and hardly drank. It was a matter where they were on a completely different wavelength’,” Angela Levin reveals in another portion of the book.

Prince Harry’s ‘honeymoon period’ with Meghan coming to an end for heart-breaking reason

 

Prince Harry’s “honeymoon period” in the US with Meghan Markle has come to an end, according to a royal expert who claimed the Duke is now “sad” and “missing his old life in the UK.”

 

The Sussexes moved to the US in 2020 after their acrimonious exit from the Royal Family.

They have since built a new, more independent, life in the States, living in a luxurious Montecito mansion in California.

Harry and Meghan’s life away from the royals has also seen them pursue their own ventures such as Netflix series, podcasts, a memoir, and a new lifestyle brand.

But royal expert Tom Quinn claims Harry is no longer enjoying his new life as much as he once did.

He told The Mirror: “As time goes by, Harry misses some aspects of his old life in the UK.

“Inevitably, the honeymoon period where everything in the States is new and exciting is coming to an end and Harry is looking back at the past through rose-tinted spectacles.”

Mr Quinn believes Harry now wants a permanent home in the UK.

He added: “He misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they don’t get on with Meghan.

“Harry is determined to find his own permanent home in the UK, which is partly why he’s continuing his legal action to get the British taxpayer to pay for his security.”

In his memoir, Spare, Harry admitted that he always planned to stay in the UK.

Amal Clooney: George Clooney reveals Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding details

AMAL CLOONEY, who married George Clooney in 2014, appeared at the American Film Institute’s 46th Life Achievement Award Gala earlier this year and discussed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding alongside her husband.

Amal, 40, and George, 57, attended Prince Harry, 33, and 37-year-old Meghan Markle’s big day back in May amongst a host of star-studded guests, but details of the ceremony were kept under wraps.

Now, George has revealed what happened at the Duke and Duchess’ wedding reception, held at Frogmore House, Windsor.

The Ocean’s Eleven actor and Amal were quizzed on the red carpet about the ceremony by the Access Hollywood host Scott Evans in a game of True or False.

Following reports that George helped himself to his own branded tequila drink at the reception, Scott asked George: “True or false… you played bartender?”

George replied: “That is false”.

Scott then asked: “True of False… Idris Elba DJ’d?”

“That is true,” George replied, before Amal added: “He was very good.”

“Yes, he is a very good DJ,” her husband praised.

Asked if Serena Williams won an alleged game of beer pong, George answered: “There was no beer pong.”

When quizzed further, he added: “If there was beer pong, do you think anyone would’ve beaten Serena?”

Following the couple’s appearance at the wedding, George was also reported to have danced with Prince Harry’s new bride, 37, and the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, 36.

Addressing the reports, George responded: “Not true”.

Scott’s final question was: “True or false there was a drink called When Harry Met Meghan?”

George simply replied: “No.”

Amal went on to say she was “really happy” for Prince Harry and Meghan.

Huge blow to hopes of Prince William and Harry reconciliation – ‘five percent chance’

Prince Harry and Prince William have been at loggerheads for some time, but what chance do they have of reconciliation in the near future?

The chance of a reconciliation between Prince William and Prince Harry appears to be dashed by recent odds of events.

The two brothers have been feuding for some time, especially since Harry’s decision to step down as a senior working royal at the start of 2020.

The Duke of Sussex has since used his new status as a non-working royal to attack the Royal Family in various interviews, his bombshell memoir and controversial Netflix series.

The former working royal has taken a lot of his anger out on his brother, William – even making comments about the Princess of Wales – with such attacks adding more fuel to the fire and seemingly making any chance of reconciliation impossible.

As reported by casinos.com, the ‘implied probability’ that Harry will meet with his brother stands at just five percent.

Although their relationship appears highly fractured, the chance that Harry will meet with his father stands significantly higher at 60 percent.

Prince Harry has made several visits to the UK this year, with him not making any time to see his brother – but he did meet his father back in February.

Following news of the King’s cancer diagnosis on February 5, Harry publicly revealed that he was to travel to meet his father – and did so just one day later.

Harry, however, has not met William during any of his recent visits, with one expert recently saying that the Duke “doesn’t really exist” to William.

Speaking to Times Radio last month, royal expert Jennie Bond dismissed speculation about a possible reunion between the pair as she claimed William “has no room” right now to focus on reuniting with Harry.

She added that this is mainly down to the his wife’s cancer diagnosis and her recovery – as well as caring for their three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.

Ms Bond said: “I think William has enough pressure on his heart and his head with his wife undergoing cancer treatment and his father, and the big job, and his kids, I don’t think he’s got room in his soul to worry about his estranged brother.

“For all intents and purposes, William has disowned Harry.”

Harry had been expected to reunite with his father during his brief return to the UK last month, however he wasn’t able to meet his father due to Charles’ “full programme”.

It remains unknown when Harry last met with William.

Prince Harry now resides in the US with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
