Royal Family

In the new episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, the Montecito- based Duchess of Sussex (pictured left and right with Prince Harry, Archie, and Lilibet), 43, spoke about the loss of her child in conversation with friend and Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani, who has also suffered miscarriages.

Sources close to Harry have described the ongoing 'strained' relationship with his father five years after the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan quit frontline royal duties and moved to California. Palace insiders were also quoted on the estrangement since so-called 'Megxit' in 2020 - with the last face-to-face encounter between Charles and Harry being a 30-minute meeting in February last year. Sources close to the Duke have told of his calls and letters to relatives being left unanswered. And he is said to have only known his father the King was recently admitted to hospital on March 27 through media reports rather than being told directly.

The upcoming 18th birthday of King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark's eldest daughter's was celebrated last week with the first of two major events. But the biggest surprise came when Princess Isabella took to the podium to speak.

A source close to Priti Patel , who was Home Secretary in 2020, said that the decision to scale back his security 'was a professional one' taken by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee. 'It would be beneath [the Queen] not to allow Ravec to do their job professionally, or make leanings against them,' the source told The Mail on Sunday. Harry was in the UK last week to attend a two-day appeal hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice, challenging the Ravec decision, which has been suggested is at the centre of his rift with King Charles .

Meghan Markle has faced a series of damning reviews of her new jam from US media - with one of her favoured outlets calling it 'slimy and viscous, a bit like baby food'. The Duchess of Sussex released the first products from her new lifestyle brand As Ever on April 2, including the $14 (£11) 'raspberry spread in keepsake packaging'. But taste tasters at American publications have been left unimpressed upon taking delivery of the jam in recent days - including The Cut, which secured one of the first big interviews with Meghan after she left stepped down as a senior royal in 2020. The publication got 12 of its team to taste the jam and they gave a variety of good and bad reviews, with features writer Emily Gould saying: 'I was put off by the texture. It's slimy and viscous, a bit like baby food. Generously, raspberry purée.' Features editor Catherine Thompson said: 'I wouldn't pay $14 for this. Its consistency is a little too thin for my taste - you really wouldn't be able to spread it on toast.'

TOM COLLOMOSSE: Aston Villa have a trump card to play when they try to turn the tables on Paris Saint-Germain next week. Standing at 6ft 3in, he has the build of a centre-forward and football knowledge to rival that of the greatest managers.

On this week's episode of 'Queens, Kings, and Dastardly Things', royal biographer Robert Hardman and historian Kate Williams delve into the interesting history of raising Royals , paying particular attention to the battle of wills that took place between a young Queen Victoria and her crooked tutor Sir John Conroy.

The King and Queen were in high spirits as they enjoyed a glitzy evening reception, after arriving in Italy for their four-day visit last night. Camilla, 77, added a pop of colour in a bright green dress - accessorising with a stunning brooch that once belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II . She and Charles, 76, grinned as they mingled with members of the British community in the Mediterranean nation, hosted at the stunning Villa Wolkonsky, where the royal couple are staying, in Rome.

The Duke of Sussex reportedly flew into the UK just hours before King Charles and Queen Camilla jetted off to Italy for a four-day state visit ahead of his High Court appeal this week. Prince Harry is back in London for an appeal against a High Court ruling on whether he is entitled to armed bodyguards paid for by the taxpayer. Harry has been taking legal action against the Home Office over a decision made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) in February 2020 over the level of protection he should receive when in the country. His legal fight comes as the Charity Commission announced it had launched an investigation into Sentebale, the charity he founded, amid a bitter boardroom rift between Harry and chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka. His arrival in the UK capital comes as the King and Queen jetted into Rome, before visiting the city of Ravenna, as they use the 'soft power' diplomacy of the monarchy to strengthen Britain's relationship with its ally.

After being admitted to hospital and undergoing a procedure for an existing heart condition, Prince Phillp died peacefully in his sleep at Windsor Castle on April 9, 2021. The Queen had been so determined to be with her husband when he died that she barely left his side in the last few weeks of his life. But the Duke of Edinburgh, who was aged 99, 'slipped away so quickly', according to Gyles Brandreth, that palace staff were unable to wake her in time to say goodbye.

A medieval castle that was once home to the Queen of Scotland is on the market for £1m. Six miles west of Perth city centre, the former royal abode is complete with an escape tunnel and is set over four floors, including its own separate cottage. The historic building was given to Margaret Tudor, wife of King James IV, in 1503 as part of her marriage gift and was where she died in 1541. Methven castle dates to 1664 in its current form and has been owned by only 11 families, having undergone several major restoration projects over the years. It is now a modern, six-bedroom home with period charm that holds a former icehouse, a summerhouse and an escape tunnel within its 1.1 acres of land.

King Charles (pictured) was pictured laughing as he 'played' a carrot during a reception at Windsor Castle this evening. Some 350 guests joined the monarch, 76, at the Berkshire event, which sought to recognise those involved in community music across the UK. Those attendees included leaders of community music groups and music-related projects, many of whom are volunteers. Among the guests were members of the London Vegetable Orchestra (LVO), which describes itself as 'the UK's only ensemble offering audiences "Home Grown" entertainment'.

The Royal touch was a ritual practised over hundreds of years in medieval England, where people would travel from far and wide to have their oozing boils massaged by a King or a Queen. On the latest episode of 'Queens, Kings, and Dastardly Things, royal biographer Robert Hardman and historian Kate Williams delve into this 'astonishing' practice, from its French origins to its decline in popularity under the Stuart dynasty.

Meghan Markle's once favoured magazine The Cut turned against her last year with an article saying her projects 'keep flopping' - and now, its sister publication has took another swipe at the Duchess. The left-leaning site famously published a cover interview with the mother-of-two, 43, in August 2022 in which she made controversial comments about the royal family . But in a new scathing takedown, The Intelligencer - which like The Cut, is another offshoot of New York Magazine - has poked fun at her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and her lifestyle brand, As Ever, ahead of its official product launch. The new article mocked Meghan's 'big idea' of 'rinsing and reusing jam jars' and 'selling factory-made food to plebs'. Writing in The Intelligencer, its senior editor, Margaret Hartmann also ridiculed how the Duchess 'poured things from one container into a prettier container and passive-aggressively informed Mindy Kaling that her last name is now Sussex' in her series.

The excruciating video showing Meghan Markle moving Dr Sophie Chandauka away from her husband in Florida in April 2024 has been viewed by millions online. Dr Chandauka said yesterday that Prince Harry had, via his team, asked her 'to issue some sort of a statement in support' of Meghan to quash any rumours of tension between them. But today it was claimed that when Sentebale's chair refused to be drawn into any row, Prince Harry allegedly sent her a message himself demanding that she 'explain herself', a source has claimed. The note was 'unpleasant' in tone and used 'imperious' language, leaving Dr Chandauka upset, the same insider said.

The chairwoman of Prince Harry's African charity has claimed that the charity suffered a financial decline after he left the UK, with donors and corporate sponsors abandoning the organisation. Sophie Chandauka, who took on her role as chair of Sentebale in July 2023, appeared on Sky News's Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips to reveal the charity lost major donors following the Duke of Sussex 's departure from the UK. She pointed to a 'significant correlation' between the charity's financial downturn and Harry's move to the US amid the fallout from his rift with the royal family. Ms Chandauka explained: 'It was pretty obvious to me that we had lost quite a number of corporate sponsors. We'd lost some families, and we'd lost individuals who were donating to the organisation.'

HUGO VICKERS: The deepening and increasingly bitter row between Prince Harry and the chair of Sentebale is a grave blow for the Prince. The charitable foundation has been close to his heart since his gap year when he fell in love with Lesotho while volunteering in an orphanage. He soon founded Sentebale with the African country's Prince Seeiso. It gave Harry a mission, which he saw as an extension of his late mother's work. He often said he was committed for life, but last week he backed away 'until further notice'. Prince Harry only had two remaining causes from his old life, which he was trained for and where his charm and talents served him well: Sentebale and the Invictus Games. Observers will have seen how his face lit up when discussing these - in contrast to the grim and sometimes confused look he often wears in California now. The reason for this is simple. When working for Sentebale and the Invictus Games, he is putting something into life, not working for personal gain.

Over the past few years, the Duchess of Sussex has struggled to define her role, as former actress, former royal, and now aspiring businesswoman. This week, the former Suits actress, 43, opened a digital shop filled with a 'curated collection of the things I love'. In exchange for her recommendations, Meghan is set to make millions as she earns commissions as high as 30 per cent for purchases made. One of the reasons Meghan and Prince Harry parted ways with the Royal Family was the monarchy's refusal to accept commercial endorsements by the couple. And since leaving the dreary UK for sun-soaked California in early 2020, the Sussexes have signed lucrative deals with Penguin Random House and Spotify as well as releasing series on Netflix including Polo and With Love, Meghan - both of which were met with excoriating reviews.

A new picture of Princess Beatrice's baby daughter has been quietly released on social media. The British royal, 36, and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, welcomed the newest addition to their family in January, when baby Athena Elizabeth Rose was born several weeks premature. Buckingham Palace released a sweet picture of the newborn in a subsequent official announcement, showing her sweetly cuddled in a blanket, and her hand covering her face. But this week, royal fans spotted a second photo, posted by Beatrice's friend Alice Naylor-Leyland.

The thing I have always admired about Prince Harry - the thing that makes me raise my head above the parapet to stick up for him time and time again - is that he cares. I knew this from the moment I met him, almost ten years ago now. It was at an event to launch Heads Together, the charitable campaign he had created with his brother William and sister-in-law Kate - now Prince and Princess of Wales - to get people talking about mental health.

Meghan Markle is now selling clothes through affiliate links on her online shop - despite claiming she's 'not an influencer'.  The Duchess of Sussex (left, pictured in her Netflix show), 43, is reportedly set to 'make millions' from the ShopMy link, which she launched yesterday via her Instagram account @meghan.  The links mean Meghan will be paid a commission for promoting clothes from other companies if her followers purchase an item through them.

Meghan Markle revealed the trailer for her new podcast today, saying it will give the 'kind of advice that turns small ideas into billion-dollar businesses'. The Duchess of Sussex adds in the preview for Confessions of a Female Founder, her new production with Lemonada Media: 'We're going to get some girl talk!' Meghan also giggles about whether one of her business guests is single, in the one-minute preview ahead of the first of eight weekly episodes out on April 8.It comes hours after Meghan shared a collection of clothing and accessories on Instagram with some items featuring links through which commission can be earned. She posted a rare photo of her with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to her profile, and a story of a collection of her style inspirations with purchase links.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, gave her two million Instagram followers a closer look inside her wardrobe when she launched an online shop - with handpicked pieces from brands like Heidi Merrick, Saint Laurent, Reformation, and J Crew. 'Many of you have asked, so here you go!' she wrote, over a screen-recorded video of the online shop. 'A little shopping to start the week. The link opens to a ShopMy storefront and Meghan's first drop includes a £148 white linen shirt, Heidi Merrick's 'Windsor' gown for an eye-watering £1,068, and a Maya Brenner necklace called 'The Happiness Retreat' that will set you back by nearlt £400.

Prince Andrew (pictured) was photographed riding around the Windsor estate on Saturday morning. His appearance comes amid reports he could face fresh embarrassment after judges ruled that further documents relating to his dealings with an alleged Chinese spy can be released.
