Inside forgotten royal home 'haunted' by King Charles' relative accused of being Jack the Ripper

The late Queen was never short of one-liners, quick responses, and cheeky comments, and her wicked sense of humour allowed her to connect with members of the public throughout her long reign. But one of her most famous jokes wasn't very flattering to her eldest son, King Charles, when he welcomed his first son, Prince William, at St Mary's Hospital in London on June 21, 1982. While you would imagine that a grandmother would be full of nothing but joy at the new addition to her family, the late monarch couldn't help but pull a few jokes and poked fun at one family trait the new baby didn't appear to have inherited.

their five-day trip to Kenya, and Bower claims that the King isn’t showing any signs of enjoyment at this time.“King Charles is not a natural diplomat or politician,” Bower told GB News.“I think he does struggle because he knows very well, of course, that terrible things happened during the Mau Mau period, but more Kenyans were murdered by Kenyans, many, many more than by the British.”It is Charles’ first state visit to Kenya since the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Sept. 8, 2022.Kenya gained independence from Britain in 1963 after decades of being under English rule since 1895.And many have been left wondering if the King would formally apologize for the colonization during his five-day stint there.“He never liked going to Africa: he was forced to go to Africa shortly before he became King, because he neglected the Commonwealth,” Bower alleged.“He liked going to India, but he avoided Africa because just didn’t find it culturally that interesting, whereas he was very interested in the culture of India.”“And the real truth is, Camilla doesn’t like traveling long distances.

When she proved short of cash, her aide asked employees for their personal information so the queen could pay them back later.Items that she’s taking back home to the United Kingdom include a blanket, a basket, hand creams and cashew butter, per the Daily Mail.

totally “dependent” on wife Meghan Markle “for his social life,” according to a royal expert.Since stepping back as senior members of the royal family in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hightailed it across the pond in a bid to start afresh.Since uprooting his life and starting from scratch in Montecito, Calif., the duke has apparently done the same with his friendships.And royal author Phil Dampier claims that Harry now relies on his wife’s friendships for a lot of his social interactions in the Golden State.“I get the impression he hasn’t got a circle of drinking buddies he can unwind within Montecito, which has a population of older people, and I’m sure that takes its toll,” Dampier told Fabulous Magazine (via The Mirror).“Not only has he lost his family, his royal status and military connections, but he’s also lost a lot of friends,” he said, adding that there has been “a massive cost for Harry” leaving his home soil.Dampier says that the duke, 39, now depends on Markle, 42, “for his social life.”The expert’s comments echo that of Grant Harrold, who worked for the monarch for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales.Harrold recently claimed that Harry has cut all ties with friends he once shared with brother Prince William.“I know quite a few of Harry’s friends, who don’t hear from him at all now,” Harrold remarked.The duke was famously a no-show at his friend Jack Mann’s wedding in July — despite him being in the wedding party at their own nuptials.The Sussexes’ absence came as a surprise to guests, especially since Mann — who is a longtime polo friend of Harry’s — appeared in the “band of brothers” photo at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.Mann, who was reportedly known as Harry’s “unofficial best man,” has

swore allegiance to the Spanish Constitution as a symbolic commitment to her eventual succession as the reigning monarch of Spain. In front of a crowd of hundreds, she pledged “to faithfully carry out my duties, to keep and uphold the Constitution and the laws and respect the rights of citizens and the autonomous communities and loyalty to the king.” It was the same oath her father, King Felipe VI, uttered 37 years ago.The teenager dressed professionally for someone her age, in a white pantsuit and matching kitten heels.

Camilla stuck her hand out to grab him before he fully went down.Once Charles steadied himself, he plopped on his sunglasses and kept on walking.The duo met with Kenyan war veterans who fought for the English in World War II.The couple have been in the area since Tuesday and will stay for five days.

consecutive attacks on the royal family.“When Harry was originally compiling his book, his publisher was confident William wouldn’t comment, because it wouldn’t be fitting for a future King to do so,” a source told New Magazine (via OK! Magazine).“Harry wouldn’t have anticipated such a comeback from Kate’s family. He and Meghan won’t like it one bit.”As well as sharing “private family details,” Goldsmith reportedly hopes to release the book one year on from the Duke of Sussex’s bombshell book, “Spare.”Goldsmith, 58, first teased plans to publish a memoir in 2013 after raking in $36 million through his successful IT business.And while he initially did not want to reveal any details relating to his family or his Princess niece, it appears as though Goldsmith has done a U-turn.“Gary has been talking to the press a lot lately and his comments seem to have gone down well with some people, especially his criticism of Harry and Meghan,” the insider said.“He did originally plan to focus the book on himself and his journey to becoming a millionaire, but he will now add in some private family details.”While there will be a revelation or two in the memoir, sources told the outlet that Carole and Kate will look at the manuscript before it gets passed on to the publisher for print.“Gary is still very close to both Carole and Kate,” the source added.

kids Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte.“The Princess of Wales has remained broadly controversy-free for years,” James told the Daily Express recently. The expert continued: “She’s kept her head down, not made a fuss, worked hard and dedicated herself to good causes.”“Given the context, of course, the press has given her a free pass to the benefit of the doubt,” he said.Middleton, 41, announced earlier this year that she would be skipping William’s trip to New York City for the Earthshot Prize Summit in order to stay with George, 10, as he takes his school exams.James went on: “When she says she wants to miss Earthshot to focus on parenting, people trust that that is probably the case.”According to the publicist, the way that Middleton and her husband, 41, have handled estranged brother Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent attacks on them have earned them great respect from the public.The Invictus Games founder, 39, penned a series of scathing words about his sister-in-law in his memoir, “Spare,” that was published in January.In the book, Harry wrote about Middleton’s tense relationship with the “Suits” star, 42, including describing the bridesmaid dress fallout between the two women.An infamous incident allegedly occurred when the Duchess of Sussex claimed Middleton made her burst into tears just days before her nuptials at St George’s Chapel in 2018.Five years on, their apparently glacial relationship is still making headlines, and Markle believes that the mother of three and William still haven’t taken responsibility for their hostile actions.

banned from celebrating Halloween as former Queen Victoria instituted a rule that members should “uphold total class and sophistication” at all times.However, the duo play by their own rules and enjoy their American life far away from the royals in their Montecito, Calif. mansion.So, let’s take a look back at their Halloween history. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their first Halloween together by attending an apocalypse-themed party in Toronto, alongside Princess Eugenie and her husband, James Brooksbank.

Daily Express Sunday that Victoria, who occupied the throne from 1837 to 1901, wanted members of her household to have “complete self-respect and good behavior when in front of the general public.”The rule has endured all the way to current members of the royal family — though it’s noticeably less strictly enforced. In 1941, then-Princess Elizabeth and her sister, Margaret, dressed up as Cinderella to take part in a re-enactment of the fable.

Jessica Mulroney seems to have crossed paths with the royal family apart from her former famous pal.The fashion stylist, 43, shared a throwback photo recently of her mother-in-law, Mila Mulroney, posing alongside the then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana in the 1990s.Jessica is married to Ben Mulroney, who is the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.The PM hosted the former Prince and Princess of Wales back in the day in the maple country’s capital Ottawa. Brian and Mila also welcomed the late Queen Elizabeth II at a 1987 dinner in Vancouver, with Ben, 47, in attendance as a young child.

HELLO! magazine’s “A Right Royal Podcast” recently sat down with historians and a paranormal expert to learn more about infamous palace hauntings from over the years.With centuries of history behind castle walls, it’s no secret that many royals have had encounters with neighbors from the beyond.“King Charles’ grandmother, The Queen Mother, grew up in one of the most haunted venues in Scotland — Glamis Castle,” Kinsey Schofield, host of the “To Di For Daily” podcast, told Fox News Digital. “It is believed that multiple ghosts haunt the hallways of Glamis.

I actually think that it was not a discussion.

Touring the world is part and parcel of every senior royal’s life, and King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 76, have long been flying the flag for the UK and Commonwealth abroad. Despite both being at an age where they might want to put their feet up, they’re continuing their globetrotting adventures, exploring Kenya this week for their first long haul foreign visit of their reign.These tours are months - sometimes years - in the planning and are orchestrated down to the finest detail, from the minute-by-minute busy schedule to what needs to be brought along for the journey.

Among the many countless and unbelievable stories in the Royal Family's history, are accounts of a boy breaking into Buckingham Palace to steal Queen Victoria's underwear and an heir to the throne being accused of being Jack the Ripper. But when it comes to the most unexpected spooky tale, it would have to be the rumour that a ghost named 'Peter the Wild Boy' haunted Prince Louis' former nursery at Kensington Palace. While the story has a very unique spin to it, there have been many reports of ghostly reappearances at Kensington Palace - including sightings by recent members of the Royal Family.

People. “But what that figure is, I have no idea.”Trevelyan, who currently leads a group of British families looking to make amends for their family’s involvement in the trade, revealed that in February she donated $127,000 of her savings to the government in Grenada after discovering her family once owned a thousand slaves from the Caribbean country.The former journalist is now asking the new King, who said in April that he would welcome an investigation into his family’s ties to the slave trade, to do the same.“There would be a great healing power to an apology for slavery and some kind of reparative justice strategy from the King,” Trevelyan said to the outlet.

reportedly accepted a dinner invitation with King Charles III, to discuss the possibility of Beckham becoming an ambassador for the Prince’s Foundation.According to The Sun, sources say that Beckham is hoping to get knighted. “It’s an open secret that David wants a knighthood one day, and many people have questioned why he isn’t a Sir after all he’s done,” a source told the outlet.

A key part of being royal is being able to communicate with everybody that crosses your path. Whether that is by speaking the language themselves or using an interpreter, each royal is expected to converse with people from all over the world.The royal who has the least to worry about in the language department is undoubtedly the Prince of Wales as he can reportedly hold a conversation in seven different languages.

There are many shocking and strange stories that have been reported from each royal residence, whether that is Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle or Kensington Palace.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been praised time and again for their modern approach towards royal duties and responsibilities. But what many people don't realise is that the couple were quietly advancing royal traditions even before their historic wedding in 2011.

Halloween is a big deal in the UK, and even the Royal Family are fans. But unlike us regular folk, there's a strict rule that stops them from celebrating this spooky holiday in public. Prince William and Kate Middleton, along with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, do celebrate Halloween, but they do it privately at home.

Even before his reign began, King Charles' plan for a 'slimmed-down monarchy' was made clear as he hoped to decrease the vast number of extended royals who appeared on Buckingham Palace's balcony and just have the working royals front and centre. He has certainly achieved this - perhaps even slightly too well.

told the Mirror. “Enough now of their moaning and whinging, all they do is backstab and make a career out of complaining.”“It’s so bad now that we’re a laughing stock across the pond making cartoon features of the couple – it’s time for this to stop,” added Cundy, who no longer boasts a friendship with Markle.The Sussexes found themselves the butt of the joke in the latest “Family Guy” episode, in which their money-hungry ways were mercilessly mocked by the animated show.“Meghan can forget a career in politics because, with their moaning, they’ve become laughingstocks, not just here but in the States,” Cundy notes.

made the move to Montecito, Calif. in 2020 while the rest of the Firm stayed home in England.Royal expert Jennie Bond recently revealed that the couple could be “deliberately trying to widen the divide” between them and the family.“What is certain is that they are doing nothing to bridge the gap,” Bond told OK! recently.“Meghan apparently didn’t have time to come to the UK with Harry for the Wellchild Awards because she had to deal with the children,” the commentator continued.She added: “But then she stayed on after the Invictus Games to visit Eugenie in Portugal.”Bond suggested that the “Suits” alum, 42, and Harry, 39, should “take a look at themselves” and revaluate their life choices.“Perhaps only [Princess] Eugenie knows if they have any inclination to mend the rift with the rest of the family.

Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank are reportedly planning a return to the UK following her revitalised role within the Royal Family. It comes after Eugenie "felt she had to get away" after feeling "abandoned" by the Royal Family due to the negative press surrounding her parents.

sought a judicial review of the government’s refusal of his offer to hire police officers as his private security detail, which was ultimately denied by London’s High Court in May.According to a new report from the Byline Times, Charles, 74, was not happy with his youngest son’s swift departure from the royal fold — and took away his security in retaliation.“The Sussexes had either to be safely in the tent in Britain or cast away and castigated as comprehensively as possible in order to reduce the threat of them eclipsing the rest of the family,” a source told the outlet.The insider claims that the monarch was “threatened” by another royal stealing the spotlight from him.“The greater truth is that Harry and Meghan make better headlines than the King and Camilla or William and Kate,” the source continued.

Kate Middleton's brother James Middleton has become a father after welcoming his first child wife with Alizée. On Tuesday, October 24, the 36 year old was spotted pushing his newborn - whose gender is yet to be revealed - in a pram on a walk with, French financier Alizée, 33, in Notting Hill.

Members of the British Royal Family often attract criticism for not joining in with large gatherings of European royals for events such as significant birthdays. However one expert has said that this is entirely unwarranted as it would be far better to see the royals continuing to work hard at home and shining a light on their various charities.The argument has reared its head again after Prince Christian of Denmark celebrated his 18th birthday and was photographed with four future Queens - the latest in a long line of photographs of European heirs without any British royal in the mix.

“Family Guy” included a reference to Del Taco during their latest (and ruthless) Sunday episode roasting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — and now the restaurant chain has spoken.In one scene of the Seth MacFarlane-created series, animated versions of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are lounging poolside unbothered.“Babe, time to do our daily $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco,” the “Suits” alum, 42, says, a nod to the couple’s business deals since they moved to Montecito, Calif, after stepping down as senior members of the royal family.Del Taco, in response, shared via X (formerly known as Twitter): “Harry & Meghan we are still waiting for your post to go up today plz.”Some social media users got a kick out of the tweet.“I’m going to @DelTaco today just because they made me laugh,” one wrote.“Oh this is GOOOOOOOD!

beachy keen.Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took a few days to relax and unwind earlier this month on a swanky Caribbean isle after jetting off to New York City for World Mental Health Day.A relationship expert has claimed that the getaway was a way to “reignite their spark” and have “enhanced intimacy” with one another following their busy schedule. Love guru Sally Baker explained to the Mirror recently: “It’s often said that geography is not the solution when a relationship is experiencing problems or hitting roadblocks.”She added: “And that’s generally true — moving or traveling to a new destination will not magically resolve underlying issues.”“A trip together to a luxury destination allows you to focus on each other without the distractions of work, chores, social obligations,” the therapist added.Baker stated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s romantic vacay on the island of Canouan in St.

Although the royals can afford personal chefs to whip up the very best meals, they don’t rely on professional help all the time.The Princess of Wales and Duchess of Sussex are known to be highly nifty in the kitchen, and Michelle Thole, from the Keeping Up With The Windsors podcast, says: “We’ve seen many times that they are both into cooking. It’s not necessarily about dishing up cordon bleu-style food, just regular stuff for their families. It means we relate to them more.” Princes William and Harry are also willing to pitch in, and Harry presented Meghan with a three-course dinner for her 39th birthday in 2019.

hardest working royals around — but she wasn’t given the honor of being Prince Harry’s godmother at his 1984 christening.In turn, the 73-year-old opted to miss the holy event at the time. But why did the Princess Royal decide to skip the momentous occasion?It started when she asked her big brother King (then Prince) Charles to be a godparent for her first child, Peter Phillips, in 1977.Charles, 74, obliged at the time but in 1982, when his first son and heir Prince William was set to be baptized, Anne was not picked to be godmother.Royal author Robert Lacey penned in his book Battle of Brothers how Charles reportedly “did not return the compliment when it came to William.”“According to [a] rumor, [Charles] had very much wanted to invite his sister, only to be blocked by his wife [the late Princess Diana].”Lacey claimed that Anne was irritated by the Princess of Wales, especially whenever her name came up in conversation.A palace source had told Lacey for his book that Anne often called Diana “The Dope” and how her sister-in-law seemed to get much of the limelight despite undertaking less royal engagements than her.“Anne made her feelings obvious on the day.

Peter Morgan, the creator of Netflix’s sweeping Queen Elizabeth II series “The Crown,” is having a royal crisis. Only a tiny contingent of people sworn to secrecy have seen the show’s sixth and final season, set to premiere in November. But somehow a tabloid — as is always the case with anything related to the royal family — has got hold of a scene in which Prince Charles talks to a vision of Diana after her death.

It was recently said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are "deliberately trying to maintain a disconnect" with members of the Royal Family, with another leading expert agreeing the couple are doing nothing to heal the divide.The comments come after it emerged that Harry and Meghan are reportedly looking to buy their own home in London to give them a base in Harry's home country. It's been said they want to "purchase a home themselves" instead of asking King Charles for a property on a royal estate.This latest move would bring the pair closer to home but commentators are unanimous in saying they have no intentions to provide an olive branch after the hurt they've caused.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have tarnished the Royal Family brand following their bombshells, says a royal expert.
