King Charles and Queen Camilla will attend the State Opening of Parliament today (Tuesday, November 7) - the first of the new reign.The King (then Prince of Wales) opened the last session of Parliament on his late mother's behalf in May 2022 with Prince William in their roles as Counsellors of State. For the occasion, several glittering items from the Crown Jewels will be on display, including the Imperial State Crown which was worn by the King as he departed from Westminster Abbey after his Coronation earlier this year.The Crown has a fascinating backstory and is always kept in the Jewel House at The Tower of London where it is protected by bomb-proof glass and over 100 hidden security cameras.

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.

The Royal Family are just like us when it comes to having a drink to celebrate important occasions or when it comes to winding down in the evening after a busy day.

Walter noted: “He said next time he would like to be closer – or bring his binoculars.”At the concert, Charles’ son Prince William graced the stage to make a sweet tribute speech to his dad, and also paid respects to his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.Speaking out to a crowd of 20,000 people, William, 41, began by honoring the late monarch, who died in September at the age of 96.

skipped out on merry festivities with the royal family last year, and according to royal expert and historian Tessa Dunlop, the couple will be looking to sit out a trip to Harry’s home soil again this year.“Christmas is coming and we want Meghan and Harry to inject the Windsor brand with a bit of transatlantic tension,” Dunlop told the Mirror. “But don’t hold your breath, just as Harry was a no-show at Balmoral this summer it is unlikely that he’ll grace Sandringham with his presence.”“Far from buying a penthouse near London, it doesn’t even look like King Charles will get a Christmas cuddle with those absent grandchildren,” she added, referring to the couple’s kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, now have no official place to stay in the UK after the King served them an eviction notice from their former royal residence, Frogmore Cottage.Dunlop believes that the pair will “branch out and buy somewhere of their own” in what she calls “a mission-driven by homesick Harry.”“As with so many Sussex rumors, the subtext here is marital tension,” she continued.

promise to slim down the British monarchy when he became king last September, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.However, a source has recently claimed that his theory toward tightening his belt in the royal family has become too bare.There are reportedly not enough members of The Firm to go around when it comes to undertaking royal engagements.According to OK!, Prince Andrew’s daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are first in line to take on events as part of a two-year tour of the Commonwealth.The insider added that “emergency meetings have been held to come up with a solution to fulfill the growing number of royal engagements both here in the UK and abroad.”Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, are also the only “senior” royals under the age of 50, and “younger blood” is imperative to reach a wider age range of royal supporters. “There needs to be some younger blood to reach the younger generation and the only candidates available are Beatrice and Eugenie,” the source explained.

“The Crown” Monday, which marks the end of the show’s reign on the streaming site. The final season, which has been broken into two parts, will span from 1997 to 2005 with Part 1 focusing on the “relationship blossoming between Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed before a fateful car journey has devastating consequences.” “Prince William tries to integrate back into life at Eton in the wake of his mother’s death as the monarchy has to ride the wave of public opinion,” continues the official description.

Despite being the Head of State, it was recently claimed that King Charles came to an arrangement with the Prince of Wales to "gain back control" after the younger couple's popularity continues to go from strength to strength. It was said that the father and son duo had come up with a deal to rebalance the scales in terms of the public's perception, with the Daily Express reporting that the monarch is concerned that the spotlight is being shifted to Prince William and Kate. Regardless of the reports, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond does not believe the King would have organised a meeting to discuss the subject with his heir.

It was revealed earlier this year that senior members of the royal family are gearing up for two years of worldwide tours in a bid "to keep Commonwealth intact" in a "soft democracy" blitz. Among the most vital visits will be one to Australia, with it being predicted that a tour would be planned for next year to tie into King Charles' appearance at the Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting in Samoa.

It was recently confirmed that the King will allow the Duke of York to remain at his Royal Lodge home on the Windsor Estate, rather than push for him to relocate to a smaller residence. Despite Andrew, 63, being granted a “stay of execution”, it is understood he will be footing all the bills and paying for essential repairs.

Prince Louis has firmly cemented his place as one of the cheekiest members of the Royal Family - whether it was his funny antics during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations or the faces he pulled on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. While there are lots of examples that would be in the running for Louis' funniest or sweetest moments over the years, the point when he ran over to his grandfather to sit on his lap is certainly right up there.

King Charles has reportedly found a "subtle" way of making his upset with son Prince Harry known.The King, 74, is said to be "punishing" Prince Harry, 39, amid rumours of a frosty relationship between the member of the Royal Family. Ever since Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step back from royal duties and move to America in 2020, there has been talk of a feud.Tensions rose further when both Prince Harry and Meghan were critical of the royal family, including during an interview with Oprah.The couple, who share children Archie and Lilibet, told Oprah that they believed the Palace could have quashed untrue reports about Meghan in the run up to their wedding.

The sight and sound of the royals playing musical instruments is not something we are often privy to, but many of them are skilful musicians who can more than hold a tune. Unsurprisingly, cream of the crop in the musical stakes is the Princess of Wales, who holds a Grade Three in piano and flute, plus Grade Five in singing and theory.

told the Express.Quinn, who wrote “Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family,” said Harry has always played “second fiddle” to his older brother Prince William, who is first in line to the throne.“You can’t change the fact that William and Kate [Middleton] are number one,” Quinn said.And the feeling of being an afterthought within the monarchy may have contributed to his desire for a fresh take on a relationship, Quinn suggests.“All Harry’s complaining is really about the fact that he’s not number one, he doesn’t have a bigger role,” the expert shared.“It’s obvious when you think about it, but I think she thought she could come into the royal family and be the star.”“And of course, she [Meghan] couldn’t because the monarchial structures are medieval, they’re rigid,” he added.Quinn claims that the pair’s relationship may have kickstarted over Harry’s ongoing royal woes, and Markle’s lust for an “American dream.”Harry, who is currently fifth in line to the throne, left no stone unturned in his bombshell tell-all memoir “Spare,” released in January.In the protocol-shattering book, the exiled prince detailed his experience of feeling second best, and even claimed he was only bred to offer literal spare parts for his brother in case the heir apparent ever needed new organs. “Two years older than me, Willy was the Heir, whereas I was the Spare,” he wrote of his 41-year-old brother William.“I was the shadow, the support, the Plan B.

After many months of speculation, it appears that the Duke of York will be allowed to keep his home at the 30-room Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate, rather than relocate to a smaller home, The Mirror reports.The news comes after ongoing reports that King Charles wishes to downsize the number of properties that make up the royal portfolio, it was suggested that Prince Andrew could move into the slightly smaller Frogmore Cottage - the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan.The paper has revealed that Andrew, 63, has been granted a “stay of execution”, despite his annual £250,000 handout being stopped the King and his home needing an estimated £2million in repairs. It has also been claimed that Prince Andrew had paid more than £200,000 for roof repairs over the summer, described by sources as an "interim payment".

given the royal titles of prince and princess.Now, one expert on the Sussex saga is speaking out — saying that King Charles, even if well-intentioned, made the absolute wrong decision.Tom Bower, author of “Revenge: Megan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” told the Express recently that Charles’ made a “terrible mistake” by throwing the royal lifeline to his California-dwelling grandkids — saying that the move could well end up embarrassing and even damaging the sovereignty.By decree, Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2, are now sixth and seventh in line to the British throne, despite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex making the noisiest of exits from the Firm, back in 2020. “Harry and Meghan have undermined the monarchy,” Bower said.

The King and Queen’s three-day state visit to France had it all – glitz, glamour and humour.

they randomly encountered King Charles, who was out for a hike. In video footage that was shot before they ran into the 74-year-old monarch, the cyclists were joking about seeing a “minor royal” after several Land Rovers drove past.“I don’t care for the royals but it would be cool to see Charlie,” one of them remarked. Then, one of them seemed to clue in that it wasn’t a joke, and it really was the King they were spotting.

With the King and Queen currently undertaking the second official tour of the new reign in France, a royal expert explains why it is more important than ever that the royals launch a "charm offensive" in the Commonwealth.Their Majesties previously visited Germany and were due to travel to France on the same tour but were forced to reschedule - at President Macron's request - after riots in the French Capital made it too dangerous. With two visits to Europe under his belt, and no announced plans for any tours in any major Commonwealth countries, questions have been asked when the King will travel to other countries where he is Head of State, such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada.This is especially true after ongoing suggestions that some realms may wish to follow in Barbados' example and strike out on their own.

A usually stoic Prince Harry became visibly moved when he told veterans at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games they "shouldn't feel lost without a uniform" - three years after he was stripped of his military titles.

Despite enjoying a hugely successful first year of his reign, a recent poll has suggested that a staggering 41 per cent of people believe the Prince of Wales should have taken over as King, rather than King Charles, when the late Queen passed away last year. While this is not only surprising given the enormous spike in popularity the King has seen in the past 12-months, it is largely unfair given his 73-year wait for his position and his steadfast devotion to a lifetime of service.

Members of the Royal Family have hugely important official titles and styles that date back centuries, and it is no different today. But what you may not realise is that royals such as the Prince of Wales or the Duchess of Edinburgh don't just have one title - but several.

You may expect the King to only have a taste for the finer things in life, but it seems that he is just like everyone else when it comes to having certain food preferences. While King Charles is known to be particular about certain ingredients and where they come from, he enjoys simple and healthy dishes packed full of fruit and vegetables over heavy meals.
