Kim Kardashian and Kanye West held hands at the opening of mother Kris Jenner’s DASH store

In the glamorous world of Hollywood, where the spotlight often shines brightly on the individual, moments of genuine family unity stand out as heartwarming beacons. One such moment unfolded recently as power couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West joined hands at the opening of matriarch Kris Jenner’s DASH store. This essay explores the significance of this seemingly simple gesture, delving into the familial bonds that continue to define the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

To fully appreciate the significance of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West holding hands at the DASH store opening, one must understand the journey of the Kardashian-Jenner brand. From reality television sensations to global fashion influencers, the family has successfully transformed their name into a formidable business empire.

The DASH stores, a reflection of the family’s keen sense of style and entrepreneurship, have become iconic fixtures in the fashion world. As the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty, Kris Jenner has played a pivotal role in shaping the family’s success. Known for her business acumen and ability to turn opportunities into gold, Jenner’s latest venture, the DASH store, serves as a testament to her unwavering dedication to the family brand. The grand opening marked a milestone in her entrepreneurial journey, and the presence of her daughter Kim and son-in-law Kanye added an extra layer of familial support.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, individually known for their achievements in the realms of reality television, fashion, and music, have also captivated the public with their high-profile romance. The couple’s presence at the DASH store opening was not merely symbolic; it was a demonstration of unity within the Kardashian-Jenner family. The simple act of holding hands conveyed a message of solidarity, support, and love, emphasizing the strength of familial bonds even in the face of individual success. In a world where fame often comes at the cost of personal relationships, the Kardashian-Jenner family has managed to strike a delicate balance. The public scrutiny that accompanies their every move could potentially strain familial ties, but moments like Kim and Kanye holding hands serve as a reminder that, despite their larger-than-life personas, they remain grounded in the values of family and togetherness.

The opening of Kris Jenner’s DASH store marked more than just another business venture for the Kardashian-Jenner clan. It was a celebration of family, legacy, and the enduring bonds that tie them together. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, with their simple yet powerful gesture of holding hands, reinforced the idea that even in the dazzling world of fame and fortune, the family remains the anchor that grounds and sustains them. As the Kardashian-Jenners continue to navigate the complexities of their public lives, moments like these become poignant reminders that, at the core of it all, they are a family united by love, support, and shared success.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Seen Together at North West’s Basketball Game

At his oldest daughter North West’s most recent basketball game, 45-year-old Kanye West showed up and appeared to be having a fantastic time. The rapper accompanied his 4-year-old daughter Chicago West and was also spotted with Dream Kardashian, the 5-year-old niece of his ex-Kim Kardashian, as they strolled about the venue and watched the nine-year-old athlete compete. At the event, he was dressed in all black—black boots, matching pants, and top—and occasionally wore headphones.

Chicago wore identical shorts with stripes down the side and a light purple blouse with short sleeves. She accessorized her ensemble with two buns in her hair and white sandals that resembled sneakers. Dream had her hair in a ponytail and was dressed in all black, complete with white and black sneakers. After a source informed us that Kanye and Kim are effectively co-parenting while her boyfriend Pete Davidson is abroad for three months, Kanye went on his most recent outing with Dream and Chicago. “Kim and Kanye are amicably co-parenting now, and it has everything to do with Pete being away in Australia,” the source exclusively informed us. “Kanye has been spending a lot of time with the kids and is currently residing at his Malibu house.”

The source went on, “He feels comfortable going over to Kim’s place because Pete is not there. He has been over to her house for dinner with the kids on multiple occasions.” “Kanye told Kim that while he wishes Pete would stay in Australia, he seems to have accepted their relationship because it is not in his face right now.”

The insider clarified that although Kanye and Pete had previously engaged in a public internet feud, things have since improved and no new “drama” has been initiated. The insider revealed, “Kim has warmed up to him again because he is not starting any drama and he has been peaceful.” All family members are grateful for this, because it is essential that the children don’t have conflicting parents.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s collaborative project, “Vultures,” has yet another adjusted release date. Initially set for Dec. 15, then moved to Dec. 31, and most recently to Jan. 12, the album is now slated for release next Friday, Jan. 19, as reported by HipHopDX.

The release date has been subject to multiple changes, with a recent twist earlier this month when a representative for Kanye West informed Forbes that the album had no confirmed release date, contradicting the previously set Jan. 12 date.

The title track, featuring Lil Durk and Bump J, serves as the lead single and has gained traction by securing the No. 8 position on Billboard’s Bubbling Under 100 chart. This chart ranks songs approaching the top 100 in the country, making “Vultures” the 108th most popular song in the nation.

Ty Dolla $ign had previously unveiled the tracklist, revealing 18 songs expected on the album. Snippets from other artists, including Future, Young Thug, Playboi Carti, Chris Brown, and Quavo, were teased during the listening party. However, the only confirmed guest appearance on an unreleased track is Timberland on the “Timbo Freestyle.”

The potential tracklist, as determined by a listening party attended by both artists last month, is as follows:

“Everybody” Feat. Charlie Wilson, Lil Baby
“Back To Me” Feat. Freddie Gibbs, Offset, Quavo
“Fuk Sumn” Feat. Playboi Carti, Quavo
“Time Moving Slow”
“Beg Forgiveness” Feat. Charlie Brown
“So Good”
“Paid” Feat. Future
“Timbo Freestyle”
“Slide”
“New Body” Feat. Nicki Minaj
“Promotion”
“Vultures” Feat. Bump J, Lil Durk
“Lifestyle”
“Drunk” Feat. Bad Bunny, Kodak Black
“Worship”
“River” Feat. Young Thug
“Gun To My Head”
“Unlock”

PRINCE Harry hangs around like a bad smell and is similar to Edward VIII, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex’s great-granduncle abdicated after just 325 days as King to wed socialite Wallis Simpson.

Royal expert Gareth Russell compared Prince Harry to Edward VIIICredit: The Sun
And historian Gareth Russell reckons Harry, who left The Firm for California in January 2020 with American wife Meghan Markle, is showing similar signs.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show with Matt Wilkinson, Gareth drew comparisons between Edward VIII and Harry’s visit to King Charles following his cancer diagnosis.

He said: “I would compare Prince Harry to Edward VIII.

“Edward VIII would come back sometimes for major events like his brother’s death in 1952 and other times for shorter visits.

“His estranged sister-in-law who became the Queen mother said you had to be careful where you hosted him.

“They would pick places where the royals had an ‘out’ that they could leave at a certain point.

“Otherwise the Queen mother’s concern was that Edward VIII would hang around like a bad smell and inevitably ask for an increase in his allowance.”

Gareth also said Meghan was compared to Wallis by a senior royal because she hates her sister-in-law and wants to be a star.

Prince Philip allegedly drew comparisons between the Duchess of Sussex and the American socialite wife of King Edward VIII.

Philip is said to have nicknamed Meghan “D.O.W” in a nod to Wallis’ Duchess of Windsor title after she wed Edward in 1937.

Their relationship ultimately led to Edward’s abdication a year earlier, plunging the Royal Family into chaos.

He described how Wallis “loathed her sister-in-law” and “wanted to be the star of the monarchy”.

The author added: “Allegedly Prince Philip made the comparison [with Meghan] and he had met Wallace.

“One of the things that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor Edward and Wallis did in the 1930s, 40s and 50s is these very controversial quasi-Royal tours, not royal tours.

“They were wined and dined, did a couple of things in America like the Sussexes, they did have tours that aren’t tours that rubbed the Royal Family up the wrong way.

“I think Wallis Simpson has two kinds of personalities depending on which author you’re listening to and in many ways they are the same as we ascribe to Meghan.

“Wallis is either presented as someone who was ambitious, loathed her sister-in-law, wanted to be the star player in the monarchy, was very, very difficult to work for and essentially moved Edward away from being a working member of the royal family.”

Why did Edward VIII abdicate?

AMERICAN divorcee Wallis Simpson will forever be known as the woman who rocked the Royal Family and plunged the monarchy into crisis when Prince Edward married her in 1937.

Their relationship allegedly started in 1934, but Edward – then a prince – denied this to his dad King George V.

On January 20, 1936, George V died and Edward ascended the throne.

Fears were beginning to grow that the new king planned to marry Wallis – something the Church of England condemned on the grounds that she was a divorced woman with two living ex-husbands.

Brits were also reluctant to accept an American as a queen – prompting Wallis to flee to France to avoid the heavy press coverage.

Edward was told he could not keep the throne and marry Wallis and sent shockwaves across the world when in December 1936 he decided to abdicate the throne.

As a result, his stammering younger brother “Bertie”, the current Queen’s father, became George VI.

In his announcement, Edward made a BBC broadcast saying he could not do the job of the king “without the help and support of the woman I love”.

Gareth also says he believes “an alternative royal family is emerging”.

He said: “To all intents and purposes that is a real possibility.

“The problem for the Sussexes is that once you start doing anything like that, people become a lot more critical of what you do outside that – like commercial endeavours or quasi-royal tours.

“People will put them under more of a microscope because they’re calling it ‘The Office of Harry and Meghan’.

“It’s interesting. I wonder is it part of a plan to pivot from some harsh headlines they’ve had in the last year or two?

“Is it maybe a slightly more social conservative direction and have themselves as royals in exile for want of a better word?

“I wonder is that them acting on advice that people don’t want to hear them criticising the royal family.”

MEGXIT TERMS

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced on January 8, 2020, they would be stepping down as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family.

On January 18 it was announced that Harry and Meghan would “no longer be working members of Britain’s Royal Family”, and would not use their “Royal Highness” titles.

A Palace spokeswoman said the couple would no longer receive public money and that they would repay the £2.4million cost of refurbishing their cottage — Frogmore — in Windsor, Berks.

The following day, Harry said in a heartfelt speech: “Our hope was to continue serving the Queen, the Commonwealth, and my military associations without public funding. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.”

The Duke of Sussex said he had found the “love and happiness I had hoped for all my life” with Meghan.

Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori puts on VERY covered-up display as she steps out with rapper in first sighting since it emerged he is being sued for allegedly punching autograph seeker

If Bianca Censori is dressed like this, it must be freezing outside. When she went shopping in Los Angeles on Wednesday with her spouse Kanye West, she dressed more casually than her normal skin-baring ensembles, giving off an oddly comfortable vibe.

For the West Hollywood trip, Censori looked amazing in a floor-length black leather trench coat and a big, black fluffy cap. The 29-year-old Australian architectural designer, who is frequently seen wearing tights without pants or barely-there bikini tops, finished the ensemble with black leather boots. Her 46-year-old rapper beau accessorized with his trademark oversized leather sweatshirt, loose pants, and blue boots.

Censori celebrated her 29th birthday in Las Vegas a few days prior, when she wore a little bikini top, a miniskirt, and no shoes. In an Instagram post, the “Stronger” rapper, who married Censori in secret in December 2022, expressed his admiration for her.

The musician posted on Instagram, “Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad legendary muse inspirational talented artist masters degree in architecture 140 IQ adoring by my side every day while half the world turned their back on me. West also referred to the former Yeezy architect as the “most amazing stepmom to our children.” West and Kim Kardashian are parents to four children together.

Royal historian and author Gareth Russell says the Prince of Wales has “very different influences” which will make him “exciting” as a monarch.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Gareth said it’s wrong for people to shoehorn “William as being Charles’s son” and “Harry as Diana’s son”.

The historian explained: “We sort of forget they have similarities to the other parent.

“William was immensely close to his mother and Diana was someone who was more of a radical royal compared to Elizabeth II.

“So he has these two very different influences and that I think makes them exciting as a future king.”

Gareth claims that Prince William will be “successful” if he embodies qualities from a number of Royal Family members.

He explained to The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson: “If he welds those two legacies – the willingness to change that Diana had and the enthusiasm for tradition Elizabeth II had – he could prove, I think, hugely successful as King William the fifth.”

This year has seen Prince William leading Royal Family duties, following King Charles and Kate Middleton being diagnosed with cancer.

William had temporarily cleared his diary to care for his wife Kate and their three children after she underwent abdominal surgery in January.

The Times reported that William wanted to “reassure the public” by stepping in.

All other working members of the Royal Family are understood to be continuing with public engagements in the King’s absence.

The Sun understands Charles and William have become incredibly close in recent months.

The King has been regularly staying at Windsor Castle on Sunday nights to spend time with his eldest son and heir to the throne.

She taught me that everyone has the potential to give something back; that everyone in need deserves a supporting hand in life

Prince William On Diana

In March, the Prince of Wales gave an emotional speech about Diana, and said that his mother taught him that “everyone has the potential to give something back”, as he paid tribute to her at the Diana Legacy Award.

Prince William said: “She taught me that everyone has the potential to give something back; that everyone in need deserves a supporting hand in life.

Everything you need to know about Princess Diana’s final years

After years of separation, Prince Charles and Princess Diana divorced in 1996.

In 1997, Princess Diana spent her summer in the south of France and Italy. During August, she visited Sarajevo, Bosnia, to highlight the fight against landmines.

By the end of the month, the Princess of Wales and Dodi Al-Fayed travelled to Paris together.

It was revealed that Princess Diana stayed longer than planned in Paris due to a row over her land mine campaign.

Travelling in a black Mercedes Benz, Princess Diana was involved in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel on August 31, 1997.

The Princess of Wales died at the age of 36.

Her funeral was held on September 6, 1997. As her coffin made the journey from Kensington Palace to Westminister Abbey, Prince William and Prince Harry walked behind their late mother.

Princess Diana’s mother, Frances Shand Kydd, and sisters, Jane Fellowes and Sarah McCorquodale, also attended the funeral.

The Princess of Wales was buried at her childhood home – Althorp House

If it wasn’t for her tragic death, Princess Diana would have been 62 today.

“That legacy is something that both Catherine and I have sought to focus on through our work, as have the 50,000 young people who have received a Diana Award over the past 25 years.

“I am so proud to see this belief of my mother’s manifested in the amazing young people receiving the Legacy Award tonight.”

Millions of hearts broke worldwide as the news of Princess Diana’s death was announced in 1997, with the late royal being dubbed the “People’s Princess.”

A hot lap around the circuit with an F1 driver has become a rare privilege. American Supermodel Kendall Jenner got that privilege as a Tommy Hilfiger model and Lewis Hamilton’s friend. The fashion house, also a brand ambassador for Mercedes, put the two in a car for a hot lap around the Miami International Autodrome. Being in the company of a friend, the seven-time champion got comfortable and let his goofy side out. However, it gave twice the amount of jump scares for the 28-year-old model.

As opposed to the usual single hot lap around the track, the Mercedes man took Jenner out for two. The model was already screaming at the top of her lungs throughout. Her soul left her body in the second lap and she started it with “Oh my god! Lewis! I literally hate you”. It did not end there though.

Reveling in the task of making the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star scream, the Brit also did some donuts to add to his fun. Throughout the hot lap, Jenner was heard saying things like: “Oh my god, I’m going to cry”, “Holy Sh*t”, “I can’t believe this is what you do, all the time”, “This is insane”, “Okay, I get it, you’re really good”. 

The American celebrity might’ve given the backhanded compliment to make the F1 champion stop. However, as soon as she confessed, “I feel so much better now that it’s over”, Hamilton teased a third lap.

Luckily for her, it was the end of her misery which lasted two very long laps. However, during her unfiltered reactions, Jenner said something that has caught everyone’s attention.

Has Kendall Jenner spilled Lewis Hamilton’s 2024 Met Gala plans?

Over the years, Lewis Hamilton has become a popular figure in the world of fashion. Naturally, when the Met Gala happens, the Brit often gets an invite. However, Hamilton has not attended the Gala since 2021. This might change in 2024 as Jenner accidentally spilled the beans during her rant. During her rants, she said, “We have the Met Gala on Monday!”

The 2024 edition is in fact on the 6th of May, Monday. So, will Lewis Hamilton drape himself in his iteration of the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which is this year’s theme? Apart from the theme Anna Wintour’s invitees are also supposed to follow “The Garden of Time” dress code.

Only time will tell if the fashion face of F1 will walk up the stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art around 6 PM EST for the charitable event.

The world’s eyes will be peeled to the event to admire and comment on the various outfits from the most fashionable people on the planet. So, if Lewis Hamilton does decide to grace the event, it will surely be on the front page.

FASTEN your seatbelts F1 fans as the 2024 season has gotten off to a thrilling start – with Max Verstappen at the top of the driver standings.

The Dutchman broke all types of records last campaign on his way to winning a third consecutive championship.

Verstappen picked up his fourth win of the 2024 F1 season in China after a solid performance during the Japanese GP just a couple of weeks before.

The wait for Lewis Hamilton’s first win since December 5, 2021, continues due to Verstappen’s dominance persisting this season.

BRITISH wonderkid Oliver Bearman looks set to earn a seat with Haas for the 2025 Formula 1 season, according to reports.

The 18-year-old impressed on his F1 debut in Saudi Arabia last month as he finished a highly respectable seventh after being handed an opportunity with Ferrari when Carlos Sainz was ruled out with appendicitis.

That caught the attention of the paddock as the teenager put himself in the frame to be considered for a permanent seat next year.

And according to The Times he is now the frontrunner to replace Nico Hulkenberg, 36, at Haas after it was confirmed the fan-favourite will be leaving at the end of the 2024 campaign.

It comes after SunSport exclusively tipped Bearman to join the team back in March.

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu, who was alerted to Bearman’s quality by his performance in Saudi, will give the Chelmsford-born star six practice sessions in their car this season.

He is also the favourite to succeed Hulkenberg – who has signed a multi-year deal with Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber.

Stake will become Audi in 2026.

An announcement about Bearman to Haas is not expected in the near-future.

Bearman has been tipped as a future star after winning the F4 series in both Italy and Germany in 2021.

Harry was in London earlier this month but did not see the King

THE “REAL reason” Prince Harry allegedly turned down an invite from King Charles to stay at a royal residence can be revealed.

The 39-year-old spent three nights in London on a whistle-stop tour to promote the Invictus Games this month but didn’t see the King.

Prince Harry will not meet King CharlesCredit: AFP
Harry was said to have made several requests for a meeting and blamed the King’s “full programme” when it didn’t happen.

But Charles did agree to put Harry up at a secret royal residence knowing he does not have a UK base, according to The Telegraph.

And Harry said no because it would leave him staying in a “visible location with public entrance and exit points and no police protection”, it has been claimed.

Harry ended up staying in a hotel, which he could leave unnoticed.

This is despite any royal residence having armed guards at entry and exit points, which any London hotel wouldn’t have.

It’s not been reported where exactly Prince Harry was offered a room, but it is thought St James’ Palace is a strong contender.

It’s directly opposite Clarence house where the King stays when he’s in London.

Prince Harry claimed the King was “too busy” to meet.

A spokesman said: “It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme.

“The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

Since then it’s been revealed the King did have a packed programme that week, but had made changes that would let him see his son.

The Duke arrived in London on May 7 for a three-day promotional tour of the Invictus Games, which is celebrating its ten year anniversary.

On May 8 Harry spoke at an event in St Paul’s Cathedral where he gave a Bible reading from Corinthians that stressed different people have different gifts and strengths.

As Harry’s event got underway, The King met members of the public at a Buckingham Palace garden party just over two miles away.

The prince was also the surprise guest at a party hosted by Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a charity that supports the bereaved kids of military personnel.

Harry has been in legal battles with the Home Office over security during visits to the UK.

The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon

Archewell Spokesman
The prince has only been allowed police protection when taking part in royal events, according to the Telegraph.

Such instances include the late Queen’s funeral or when he was taken to meet the King from Heathrow in February following Charles’ shock cancer diagnosis.

When travelling to and from his hotel in February, the prince only had his own, private bodyguards, the Telegraph alleges.

He now has to give the Metropolitan Police 28 days’ notice if he wants to come to the UK with security provisions.

Each request is dealt with on an individual basis by Ravec, the committee overseeing the protection of royalty and public figures.

Harry’s whistle-stop February visit took just 26 hours while he spent just 20 hours in London for the King’s Coronation last May.

The Duke spent between 30 and 40 minutes with Charles at Clarence House before the Monarch departed for Sandringham via helicopter.

Harry and Meghan have been without a UK home since the The Sun revealed they were evicted from Frogmore Cottage last year.

Archewell was approached for comment.

Harry & the King can’t play happy families with such huge public attention, says The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson

By Matt Wilkinson, Royal Editor

Prince Harry is in London but he won’t meet his father The King.

The Duke of Sussex arrived from LA alone without Meghan or their children for a busy diary of events marking 10 years of his Invictus Games.

Before setting off from California it is understood Harry was said to have been “keen’ to see the King for only the second time since his cancer diagnosis.

It is rather telling that confirmation there will be no meeting has come from the Office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex rather than Buckingham Palace.

His team say “it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program”.

They add: “The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

Now, the word that jumps out is “priorities”.

The King, we understand, is busy as he returns to public duty.

For instance, on Tuesday while Harry was in London the King was carrying out his constitutional duty and meeting the Prime Minister of Fiji at the palace.

He is also set to host a palace garden party and weekly audience with the Prime Minister on Wednesday.

And Harry’s diary is packed full for three days with Invictus. However, they will be at times just two miles apart and risk even driving past each other on London’s roads.

Some observers may see this as “sad” that father and son cannot find time.

Others may say that it’s understandable as both have work commitments and “priorities”.

But maybe there has just been too much water under the bridge for father and son to play happy families amid such huge public attention

A timeline of Prince Harry and William’s ‘feud’: Brothers ‘at war’

In 2018, The Sun told how “simmering tension” began when William questioned the speed of Harry and Meghan’s engagement.

The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace.

Once she’d returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat.

He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly.

The younger prince reportedly didn’t take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he “went mental”.

Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate.

The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.

Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced.

The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign.

The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure – but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.

Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born.

The move further increased rumours of a fallout.

Harry, 39, also hinted in his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey” that he and his brother had grown apart.

It came after Prince Philip called Meghan the “D.O.W” after the Duchess of Windsor — the American divorcee who led Edward VIII to abdicate.

And he warned the late Queen to be “cautious” of Harry’s then bride-to-be, a royal author claims.

Ingrid Seward revealed in new book My Mother And I that Prince Philip felt it was “uncanny…how much Meghan reminded him of the Duchess of Windsor”.

In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially.

Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn’t want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift.

In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a “peacemaker” between the brothers.

Last year Harry claimed his brother “knocked him to the floor” during an argument about Meghan.

In his book Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row.

Harry alleged William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.

He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.

In January this year, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch’s shock cancer diagnosis.

Harry flew back to the US the following day – without seeing Wills.
