Seward remarked that both Harry and Meghan appeared young and fresh.  They played their roles well. After seeing how well they were received, the late Queen had high hopes for the couple’s contribution to the Commonwealth. However, according to Seward, Meghan might have had different feelings about the trip.  Although she enjoyed the public attention and the role of a princess, the experience was a bit of a surprise for her. "She was being told what to do. She was being told where to go, and she was being told how to do it. And she wasn't taking a s...

Queen Camilla is sparkling in something sentimental from Queen Elizabeth's collection at the start of the royal tour of Australia and Samoa.  On Oct. 18, King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in Sydney to kick off the nine-day trip which is significant, as it marks both their first tour of a Commonwealth realm of his reign and their longest-haul trip following the King's cancer diagnosis in February.

Queen Camilla's past took a spooky turn recently when her son, Tom Parker-Bowles, revealed some chilling details about their childhood home.  Parker' Bowles d that when he and his sister were young, they grew up in a mansion in Allington, Wiltshire, with their parents, Camilla and Andrew Parker-Bowles, which was believed to be haunted.   The house had so many ghostly encounters that even their dog would avoid certain rooms, which were said to have an unsettling, constant chill. "My mother says she woke up one night, in the middle of the night, and there was a presence sort of pinning her down in her bed," Parker-Bowles told Gyles Brandreth's "Rosebud" podcast.  "This was many, many years ago, but she's made of pretty strong stuff so probably told the ghost where to go. "There were lots of people who were very rational people, who in the middle of the night would jump in their car and drive back to London because something had got in their...

Kate Middleton's ambition of bringing Prince Harry back into the British Royal Family could be set to fail as the Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales disagree and battle for the influential right to whisper in King Charles III's ear.   The 40-year-old Duke of Sussex sensationally quit his status as a working royal back in 2020 when he, his wife Meghan Markle and his son, decided to relocate to California in a bid to get away from intense media scrutiny.   Then an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 caused the bridges between the Duke and his brother and his father to explode and collapse and in the successive years since, reparation has seemed off the cards entirely, worsened by Prince Harry's memoir in 2023.  Also Read:  Tom Parker Bowles- Growing up with Queen Camilla could be incredibly dangerous   Despite that, Middleton, who is highly-family oriented, has pushed for the brothers and father to settle their differences and even p...

Tom Parker Bowles has been embracing his inner Proust with the release of his newest book, which dishes up a history of famous royals and the meals they loved best. And as he reflects on this blue-blooded gastronomy, the lauded food critic has taken the opportunity to look back on the breakfasts, lunches, and dinners he spent growing up, gathering around the dining table with his mother, the future Queen Camilla.   ‘I come from a very laid-back family,’ he explained to Hello, ‘we all gather around the table. We all love food. We all love a drink.’ Mealtimes with Camilla and Tom’s father, Andrew Parker Bowles, would often feature produce grown at their country home, the 8,000-acre Bolehyde Manor in Wiltshire, where the family lived between 1973 and 1986.  It was, said Tom, a bucolic British upbringing. And while Proust had his madeleines, it's heartier fare that sends the Queen's son back to his childhood. Tom has previously looked back fondly on the food that his mother (...

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are said to have left King Charles "crushed" with a major announcement back in 2016.   The couple, who have now been married for six years, met in July 2016 but did not publicly announce that they were in a relationship until four months later. However, the 75-year-old was reportedly "crushed" when Harry and Meghan not only confirmed their relationship publicly but also launched a critique on the press.  Charles then feared that his son's announcement would monopolise the news cycle, thereby eclipsing his tour. The Mirror reported that the King was given a mere 20 minutes heads-up before releasing a statement to confirm his relationship with Meghan. Finding Freedom states: "It was a critical moment that had been in the works for months.  A statement from Kensington Palace condemning the Press and, in the same breath, confirming Harry's new girlfriend would all but eliminate coverage of Prince Charles's tour of the G...

Channel 4 is reportedly preparing to air a controversial documentary reportedly titled Camilla: Harry's 'Wicked' Stepmother?, which is expected to cast Queen Camilla in a negative light.  The documentary will explore her relationship with Prince Harry, portraying her as the "wicked stepmother" figure in his life.

Key royal figures are said to be holding meetings at Buckingham Palace about the future of monarchy amid King Charles III's health concerns.  Following the monarch's cancer diagnosis, a series of plans have been put in place to deal with unpleasant situation. Tom Sykes, a royal commentator for the Daily Beast, suggests some plans have caused tension within Buckingham Palace. The power dynamic between Charles and William has shifted since the King's diagnosis, with whispers of executive power and influence starting to lean towards William, according to Sykes.  Tom also highlights potential issues for the Duke of Sussex.

King Charles and his family have failed to reveal their official gifts for the past four years, despite previously promising to publish an annual list.  Palace officials have blamed the pandemic, the change of reign, and then planning for last year’s coronation for their inability to publish details of the gifts received by members of the royal family.  The royal family’s reticence follows controversy over a cash-for-honours scandal involving the king’s main charitable foundation, which led to a police investigation that was dropped last year without a full explanation from either Scotland Yard or the Crown Prosecution Service. It also comes after revelations that Charles, when he was Prince of Wales, accepted £2.6m in cash in bags from a Qatari politician for another of his charities, the Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund.  The Duke of York also faced allegations that when he was a working royal he used official overseas trips to conduct private business deals.

Prince William is continuing his feud with Prince Harry by blocking his younger brother from returning to the royal fold, despite King Charles III reportedly reaching a secret agreement with the Duke of Sussex.    Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, attracted all the headlines in 2020 when they stood down as working members of the family before going on to produce the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview, as well as the 40-year-olds memoir in 2023.  All of those things have destroyed any relationship he had with his older brother and now the heir to the British throne seems determined to make sure he never returns from his self-imposed exile to the United States.  But that could be a source of disagreement between King Charles III and his eldest son, after the reigning monarch reportedly came to a "secret" agreement to begin to plan his re-entry into British culture, including distancing himself from Markle. Time is now of the essence, however.  The King is still ba...

His Majesty King Charles III's two-year-old reign is reportedly not shaping up to be like he expected, especially considering he was the longest-waiting heir in British history.  In fact, as the monarch still battles cancer, "executive power and influence is already flowing William's way," royal reporter Tom Sykes wrote for The Daily Beast. One shift in this direction was reported to be Catherine, Princess of Wales' "cinematic" video in early September detailing the end of her chemotherapy treatments.  Sykes shared how the video allegedly was not first approved by the King, which would have been unthinkable during Queen Elizabeth II's reign. He added, "To get away with such cheek showed William and Kate have an instinctive understanding... of how the power dynamic has shifted since the king’s diagnosis."  "The fortnight in the run-up to the royal tour has been kept deliberately light for His Majesty," a source told a publication...

King Charles is a keen champion for the environment, wildlife and the outdoors. And he has long been known to be a fan of picking mushrooms; a hobby he pursued on the day that his mother Queen Elizabeth II passed away.   Now, Queen Camilla's son, food writer Tom Parker Bowles, has revealed that his mother also enjoys foraging for mushrooms, and that she and the King are 'deeply competitive about their hauls'. He gave the insight into the King and Queen's passion for food in the introduction to a mushroom and pasta recipe. Charles turned to his hobby the day his mother passed away on September 8, 2022.   As the Queen's health dramatically declined that day, he spent an hour at her bedside at Balmoral and then went to nearby Birkhall to gather mushrooms alone. It was while he was returning to Balmoral by car that he received a phone call telling him that Queen Elizabeth had died.  Charles's interest in mushrooms seems to go back decades, however.

King Charles seemingly made a big sacrifice for his wife, Queen Camilla, in order to ease her tensions.  The monarch, who has been championing environmental causes in every position, decided to skip a key calendar event dedicated to climate change after receiving a strict warning.  Charles will not be attending the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP, after making a powerful speech at last year’s conference in Dubai. Palace officials told the press that the King’s presence will not be at COP29 this year because he will have “recently” got back to the U.K. after his trip to Australia and Samoa. The monarch is undergoing cancer treatment, which will be paused for 11 days for the state visits.  Considering his health, it was advised against to attend the climate conference. This decision has greatly pleased Camilla, who has been concerned about Charles overworking himself.

The King's doctors are allowing him to 'pause' his cancer treatment in order to fly to Australia for a high-profile royal visit next week.   The 75-year-old monarch will undertake a significant official visit beginning on October 18, taking in Sydney and Canberra, immediately followed by a State Visit to Samoa in the South Pacific where he will attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).   The Mail understands that His Majesty will continue with his ongoing cancer treatment right up until he flies but that his doctors are happy for it to be briefly stopped while he is away. The King will then pick up with his treatment cycle as soon as he returns to the UK. Charles,75, was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of the disease in February following prostate surgery and has been receiving weekly treatment ever since... Read more

The relationship between late Princess Diana and Camilla Parker- Bowles had never been of fondness for one another.   Diana had famously accused Camilla for breaking her marriage in the Panorama interview with Martin Bashir, where she stated that her marriage with Charles was “getting too crowded.” Despite the notable animosity towards Camilla, Diana did not shy away from making a compliment about her in a candid conversation following the interview.   Former royal correspondent Jennie Bond revealed during a discussion with The Sun’s host and former royal photographer Arthur Edwards, that Diana admired Camilla for having one very important trait. “She was complicated and confusing but I liked her a lot. She invited me to the Palace a couple of times for talks,” Bond said of Diana. “We had long, long, long chats and she told me everything practically, almost everything in Panorama, before Panorama...

There is nothing he doesn’t know about rare breeds of cattle, heritage varieties of plum and apple, the joys of mutton and wild mushrooms...

It's no secret that Prince William and his dad, King Charles, have quite a bit in common. For one, both are passionate about their philanthropic efforts, and I've noticed a striking resemblance between the two when they smile at royal events.  But now, according to a body language expert, there's yet another similarity that I might have missed. Yesterday, the Prince of Wales, 42, visited the newly opened Birtley Community Pool in northeast England, and before heading inside, he stopped to greet a group of well-wishers—a common gesture that I've also seen from His Majesty.  Darren Stanton, also known as television's human lie detector, closely observed the prince's gestures and, speaking on behalf of Betfair Live Casino, he told me, "The one thing that strikes me about William is that he always wants to give. We never see him exit a vehicle and walk straight into a venue. He always takes the time and effort to go to barriers and meet people."... Read m...
