Perkes told the Mirror.“Sadly, a lot of what they do seems to be calculated, to give the illusion that they’re living by their organization’s tagline: leading the way with compassion, but the public and the media don’t buy it,” she said. “They always seem to try too hard and then miss the mark.”She continued, “It may be that they wanted to create a family tradition, taking Archie and Lilibet trick or treating, to show that they’re ‘just a normal family’ doing normal things, but to me it feels like a PR stunt in disguise.

For generations, royal children were educated at home in castles and palaces by private tutors and governesses.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

sixth and final season will debut in two parts later this year on Netflix and the first slice’s full-length trailer has finally dropped.Of course, the central focus of the last few episodes is the untimely death of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki), the chaotic aftermath and its effect on the royal family for years to come. “I don’t understand how I ended up here,” a sad Diana sighs.“Dashing around and loosing sight of myself in the process.

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.
