A royal expert has advice for Prince Harry on making a King Charles III reconciliation happen. Their guidance is, admittedly, simple—visit the U.K. as a family. As in, with Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. Why the expert thinks it’d be a good step toward reconciling ahead.
Harry and King Charles can make progress when U.K. Sussex family trips aren’t ‘such big news’
Royal expert Robert Hardman said at the U.K.’s Hay Festival that making more family trips to the U.K. is a start for Harry to patch things up with King Charles (via Express).
According to Hardman, bringing Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet to England would be a first step toward reconciling and a way to “normalise” [sic] the relationship with the king.
“Once that happens, it’s not such big news when it happens again,” he explained.

Taking the next giant leap in its quest to produce original content, Netflix went on to receive widespread acclaim as well as continued spotlight for The Crown series. Revolving around the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II, depicting her reign from 1947 to 2005, the show brought back to focus the tumultuous times and hardships that come with being a working royal of the British throne.
The Peter Morgan brainchild also came across as the fuel for numerous debates with its exploration of a storyline arc involving Princess Diana.

David and Victoria Beckham were once in good standing with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prior to the falling out.
While no one knows exactly what led to this falling out, there are claims Meghan Markle accused Victoria Beckham of leaking secrets about her to the press.
David Beckham apparently found this outrageous and decided to cut ties with Harry, even though they’ve been good pals for years.
This did not, however, affect David’s relationship with Harry’s father King Charles, as he was recently named an ambassador for the King’s charity Foundation.

Will there be a follow-up to Spare? It’s a question many have asked since Prince Harry released his January 2023 memoir. The Duke of Sussex hasn’t, at least not yet. But he has suggested there’s certainly enough material (more on that later). What clinches the idea of a Spare sequel for one royal biographer is Harry’s brief reflection in the book about marrying Meghan Markle.
The few pages in ‘Spare’ about Harry’s wedding point to a potential follow-up
Sure, Harry opened up quite a bit about his and the Duchess of Sussex’s May 2018 nuptials in Spare. The now-39-year-old recalled everything from what went through his head as the bride walked down the aisle to behind-the-scenes drama.
However, it totaled only a handful of pages, which, according to royal biographer Robert Hardman, could mean there’s more to the story.

After reading the 39-year-old Prince’s memoir ‘Spare,’ Sean, 48, took to social media to share his opinion on it.
His review was short, direct, and had all the makings of a great snide remark. His words? “My long awaited review of Prince Harry’s autobiography is two words. ‘Spare Me.'”
Sean Lennon – Responds To Backlash Regarding His ‘Spare’ Review
This of course sparked some backlash, which saw Harry’s fans lash out at him, telling him that he shouldn’t judge someone he’s never met and the other sorts.

Queen Elizabeth II’s corgis were one of most famous accessories along with her signature black handbag and loafers. Although they weren’t friendly toward Prince Harry or King Charles III.
The queen’s corgis tipped her off to Harry and King Charles opening windows
Neither Harry nor his father could crack a window when the temperature in the “subtropical” formal dining room at Sandringham, one of the royal family’s country homes, got to be too much.
In his Spare memoir, Harry recalled how he and King Charles are “sensitive to heat.” As such, they’d often open a window ever so slightly when the queen wasn’t looking for some fresh, cool air. However, it never lasted as Queen Elizabeth’s corgis ratted them out.
He said they’d wait until the queen wasn’t looking, “then one of us would jump up, sprint to a window, crack it an inch,...

Most fans remember the last time we saw Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as working royals during a Commonwealth Day Service in March 2020. While there was tension that day between the Sussexes and some of the prince’s family members, it was nothing compared to how the duke was treated when he returned to England with his wife after two years abroad.
Harry learned the true meaning of being a non-working royal at a major event he attended with the duchess when the wounds of their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey were still fresh in people’s minds. And according to an expert, it was then that Harry began to realize the true magnitude of the path he and Meghan chose away from the monarchy as his “pain” was on display for everyone to see.

The night before his 2018 royal wedding to Meghan Markle wasn’t exactly stress-free for Prince Harry. In his Spare memoir, he recounted how a simple question from Prince William made him “sick” on the eve of his wedding. Not about the bride, the Duchess of Sussex. Or even the wedding itself. Rather, a tradition of sorts for the brothers.
William asked Harry about ‘saying hello to the crowds’ before marrying Meghan Markle
After all the drama of planning a royal wedding, the night before the ceremony, May 18, 2018, finally arrived. The Duke of Sussex stayed at Coworth Park Hotel, hoping to participate in a little royal wedding tradition with William, greeting crowds outside the church.
However, as Harry revealed in the 2023 book, William wasn’t interested in recreating the moment they’d shared ahead of his 2011 royal wedding to Kate Middleton.
“Why are you even saying hello to the crowds, Harold?...

King Charles is back to full-time royal duties after taking the first part of the year off while he underwent cancer treatment. The king has never disclosed what type of cancer he was diagnosed with or what stage it was, but he has seemingly made a full recovery. Although he never fully stopped working, he did stop pubic-facing royal duties for quite a while.
Charles recently appeared at the United Kingdom’s commemoration event for D-Day, which was held at Ver-sur-Mer in Normandy, France, where he briefly spoke about his cancer treatment.

Prince Harry isn’t part of Prince William’s “inner circle” and hasn’t been for years. So, who is there for the Prince of Wales? A royal expert says the 41-year-old’s support system includes two fellow British royals: a cousin who is “almost like a brother to him” and someone else who married into the family.
Peter Phillips and Mike Tindall are part of William’s ‘inner circle’
William’s brother, the Duke of Sussex, “is not, and will not, be here to help or provide a shoulder to cry on,” according to Jennie Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent (via Ok).
While Kate Middleton undergoes preventative chemotherapy and King Charles III gets back to work after his own cancer diagnosis, Peter Phillips, the 46-year-old son of Princess Anne, and Mike Tindall, 45, husband to Zara Tindall, are there for William to lean on.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were once friends with David and Victoria Beckham until they had a major fallout.
It’s been reported that the reason for their rift stems from the duke accusing the soccer’s star wife of leaking stories about Meghan to the press, which infuriated David. It was also claimed in Tom Bower’s book Revenge that Harry asked David to fly 22 hours to Australia to attend an Invictus Games event with him, but had no intention of meeting him. According to Bower, Harry decided to keep his distance because Meghan did not want any competition in the media from David or Victoria.
But even though they don’t speak to each other anymore, it seems there is some competition between Victoria and Meghan. Here’s more on that and how an expert says Victoria may get “revenge.”

King Charles III and Princess Diana‘s royal wedding happened decades ago, but new details about the ceremony are still emerging. Not about Diana’s now-iconic wedding gown or even her back-up gown. Rather, what happened on the Buckingham Palace balcony following the ceremony. A lip reader decoded what the late Queen Elizabeth II told the bride as they greeted crowds. Hint: It’s much in line with the queen’s other balcony chitchat.

It seems Prince Harry and Meghan Markle didn’t share a glimpse of their son, Prince Archie, with Queen Camilla after his 2019 birth. Sure, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may have texted, emailed, or taken to WhatsApp to tell British royal family members the news and share photos. But Queen Camilla wasn’t among them. A royal photographer claims Camilla saw Archie for the first time in a press photo shown to her on their phone.

Prince Harry and Prince William have had nothing short of a tumultuous relationship since at least 2018, though some would say the brothers have never been too close. Still, they have spent time together on a handful of occasions, including back in 2022 when they did a walkabout with their wives, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, after Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
Earlier this year, it was suggested that Prince Harry and Prince William would cross paths again this summer as they were both invited to a mutual friend’s wedding. But the brothers seemingly will not see each other once more, given that Harry has apparently declined the invitation.

Is it possible for Harry and Meghan to lose that plush dream life that they’ve built for themselves in Montecito, California?
While experts have previously said it would have been better for Harry and Meghan to leave the Royal Family and maintain a good standing with them, this expert doesn’t think it as the Sussexes’ key mistakes.
Prince Harry’s Immigration Battle With Heritage Foundation Declared “Embarrassing”
Prince Harry’s immigration documents have been submitted to the court for them to determine whether it should be made public, as per the Heritage Foundation’s request.
The reason for this is that Harry admitted to using different kinds of drugs in his “wholly truthful” memoir ‘Spare,’ so the Heritage Foundation wants to know whether he “lied” on his immigration forms or if he was given a special treatment.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said the whole thing would be “embarrassing” for the duo’s brand,...

Happy birthday, Princess Lilibet! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter is officially 3 years old as of June 4, 2024. To mark the special day, we’ve rounded up some of the things the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have said—on rare occasions—about their daughter, ranging from sweet to eye-opening.
1. Lilibet’s comment that stuck with Meghan
During Harry and Meghan’s May 2024 trip to Nigeria, the former American Riviera Orchard founder revealed something Lili said to her just a “few weeks” earlier. The 42-year-old recalled how Lilibet looked into her eyes and saw her own reflection.
“A few weeks ago, she looked at me, and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. She [said], ‘Mama, I see me in you,’” Meghan told local students.
She went on to say that although Lilibet meant what she said “literally,” she “hung onto those words in a very different way.”

It’s been more than four years since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles within the royal family. And while many hoped that time would heal their wounds, it hasn’t. The claims the couple made about the royals during their televised interview with Oprah Winfrey, in their Netflix docuseries, and in Harry’s memoir Spare haven’t helped relations either.
Now, the Sussexes are trying to change their strategy. But people have questioned if they went too far and caused too much damage to even repair their own images. At least one royal commentator thinks so.

How Things Used to Be Assuming you’re not too young, you probably remember what life was like before the age of high-speed and high-quality video streaming; it was a dark, primitive period in human history. Of course, given my age, some of my fondest childhood memories leading up to high school are inextricably connected with watching movies on pieces of physical media, be they VHS tapes or scratched-up DVDs. My parents sometimes bought copies for our living room setup, but more often than not we would rent movies from our local Blockbuster. It’s important to remember that before the chain eroded completely in 2014, Blockbuster was the video rental place, and indeed my first encounters with more niche cinema came from roaming the aisles of that bygone store. I specifically remember my mother renting a copy of the Oscar-winning German film ‘The Lives of Others,’ when that movie’s...

Everyone has a different image in their minds when they hear the name Lana Del Rey. You might be thinking of cherry coke and vintage cars, driving past Venice Beach. You might think of the coquette aesthetic of pink bows and girly dresses. You might even think of her recent hangouts with Taylor Swift at the Grammys and the Super Bowl. With all of these connotations, Lana Del Rey is an unapologetic woman whose art is one not to be messed with.
One thing that Lana Del Rey has made clear in recent years is that she is one to laugh at herself and do things for the heck of it. She was recently spotted working at an Alabama Waffle House and shamelessly posting photos on Instagram of her holding a handgun and a vape. She even wore a dress that she had bought straight off the rack at a shopping mall to the Grammys.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their roles as senior royals in early 2020. Since then, they have been raising their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in Montecito, California, closer to where Meghan grew up. The two have returned to the United Kingdom together only a handful of times, and their young children have hardly spent time with King Charles. Meghan also has a strained relationship with her father, and it’s been reported that he has never met either of his grandchildren.
While Harry and Meghan have had a right to make the decisions they’ve made, one expert says the two will have to prepare for Archie and Lili to eventually ask a lot of questions.

The Crown may not be done after all. And Prince Andrew’s partly to thank. The success of Scoop, a Netflix movie about his 2019 Newsnight interview, has reportedly made executives at the streamer realize there are still more British royal family stories to tell. To that end, The Crown, which ended after six seasons in December 2023, may return to the small-screen with a prequel.
Netflix is looking to make a short-form prequel to ‘The Crown’
“When the sixth season was released at the end of 2023, some breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the controversial show had been put to bed for good,” Tatler reported. However, it looks like it may very well be on its way back. (The Crown ended after depicting now-King Charles III’s 2005 marriage to now-Queen Camilla.)

Prince Harry and Prince William were never the best of friends, but they were always brothers who loved and cared for each other. However, things changed back in 2018 after Harry married American actor Meghan Markle. Things between Harry and William have not improved since.
Though the public has heard of alleged peace talks between the brothers, sources claim that those conversations started as early as 2019. But the most interesting part might not be that the peace talks started five years ago, but rather that it was Prince William who made the first move. Since then, the brothers have reportedly tried multiple times to have such conversations but have been unsuccessful.

She did not accompany Harry to King Charles’ coronation in 2023 or a recent service in which the duke marked the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games he founded.
However, a royal expert believes Meghan may want to travel to the U.K. to do something for the king, but that doesn’t mean the monarch would be too welcoming.

On “House of the Dragon,” HBO’s fantasy epic that takes place two centuries before “Game of Thrones,” Matt Smith plays Daemon, a warrior prince who exists among fire-breathing reptiles and palace intrigue. But if his character were ever to leap deeper into the supernatural, Smith has some ideas about where he could go. “I think Daemon would make a really good vampire,” he says. “I can imagine him wandering the earth alone for all eternity.”
He certainly has the coloring: Pallid and platinum-blonde, Daemon looks as if he could have arrived in the forbidding and dark world of Westeros all the way from Transylvania. But he might be too hotblooded to play the vampire. And “House of the Dragon” — a prequel to the Emmy-gobbling, earth-shattering hit “Game of Thrones,” set during the reign of the incestuous Targaryen dynasty — is unlikely to pivot into creature horror.

Prince Archie to the rescue? An author claims Prince Harry sees his and Meghan Markle’s 5-year-old son as the “perfect person” to repair the royal family rift. Why? Because, in Archie’s presence, the “older bitter arguments might well begin to disappear.”
Harry thinks Archie can help bring the royal family back together
According to author Tom Quinn, Archie, the oldest of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s two children, just might be able to make the years-long rift go away.
“Harry is beginning to think Archie might be the perfect person to help heal the divisions in the family,” Quinn told Mirror. “Back in the U.K. with Archie by his side, the old bitter arguments might well begin to disappear.”
“Harry is undoubtedly becoming increasingly worried that his children will have no relationship with their grandfather [King Charles III]. Or, indeed, with their cousins.”

Prince Andrew reportedly doesn’t want to move out of the Royal Lodge despite mounting renovation costs. Why? Because, apparently, it’s his “last real show of royal power.” Ahead, who’s stepped up to help the Duke of York, 64, keep the mansion. Hint: It’s not Andrew’s oldest sibling, King Charles III. Plus, what repairs—estimated to be in the six figures—must be done to prevent him from getting evicted.
Andrew has no plans to ever leave the Royal Lodge
A change of address won’t happen if Andrew can help it. Per an Express report, he never intends to call another property in the royal family’s extensive real estate portfolio home.
“Andrew is determined to hold onto Royal Lodge at any cost,” a source told the publication. He’s lived there since 2002, following the death of his grandmother, the Queen Mother.

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards is not happy about Prince Harry‘s recent behavior towards his family, and while he once “traveled the world” with him, he still doesn’t approve of his brutal attacks against his family.
The icing on the cake for Edwards, of course, was the memoir “Spare,” where Harry dropped a lot of controversial “truths” about growing up as part of the Royal Family, and the fallout that made him leave.
Arthur Edwards Says King Charles Wasn’t Happy About How Prince Harry Portrayed Queen Camilla in “Spare”
You know it’s quite weird that Prince Harry is going on about how he left the Royal Family and the UK to protect his wife and then turn around and bash another person’s wife.
The “wicked stepmother” line may have been funny to Harry when he was writing the book, but according to Edwards, it was very upsetting for the King.
