Grant Harrold: Celebs Rumors

The Royal Family are known to traditionally exchange novelty gifts at Christmas time but it turns out they also dish out "funny" presents to their staff according to a former royal butler.

A former royal butler has weighed in on the possibility of Prince Harry rejoining the Royal Family. Following a series of solo engagements by the Duke of Sussex. across New York City, the UK, and South Africa—while Meghan Markle reportedly remains in Montecito with their children—speculation has arisen about the couple's professional paths diverging.

King Charles's former butler has shared Princess Anne's witty reaction to his unfortunate case of mistaken identity over the phone.

a massive $8.5 million cash bonus thanks to arrangements made by his late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.After much speculation over whether Harry will accept the money given that he’s no longer a working member of the royal family, it appears as though the duke will not be saying “no.”“I’ve no doubt that Harry will accept it, it’s money that’s owed to him, money that’s coming to him,” King Charles’ former royal butler Grant Harrold exclusively told The Post.“I don’t think he will decline the money, it’s inheritance so it’s his right,” he said, adding that “it’s already something that has been set in place for years now.”The late Queen Elizabeth II’s mother put $90 million into a trust fund for her family, and listed that Harry was to access his share of the trust when he turned 40 as one of the fund’s stipulations.Unlike his estranged brother, who received a ceremonial bell concert at Westminster Abbey on the milestone birthday, Harry is reportedly set to receive a larger share than what William received on his 40th birthday.“[The money] will be part of Harry’s birthday celebrations which will hopefully see him receive well wishes from his family and celebrate with his wife and family, doing something very nice but probably in private — as what I’ve experienced with the royals before, is that they like to celebrate these things privately behind closed doors,” Harrold said.It was reported that William and his wife, Princess Catherine, were left “disgusted” at Harry’s share of the inheritance.Sources close to the Prince and Princess of Wales told Closer last month that the pair feel the duke is not deserving of the income.The hefty sum of money will be a welcome addition to the Duke and Duchess of

Prince Harry is reportedly planning a low-key family gathering for his 40th birthday, followed by an adventurous mountain trek with pals.This is quite the departure from his former reputation as the 'partying prince', known for his wild escapades such as playing pool in the buff in Las Vegas and donning a Nazi costume for a fancy dress event. As his September 15 birthday approaches, a former Royal butler has shed light on what Harry was really like back in the day - including his role as a peacemaker at parties.

There is nothing like a shared experience to bring two people even closer together. Without a doubt, King Charles and the Princess of Wales will have found strength in each other as they confront their own respective health battles.That bond has never been more in evidence than at Trooping the Colour in mid-June.

Not many of us can claim to have a personal and unexpected run-in with members of the Royal Family - least of all with the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Uh-oh. A royal source thinks Prince Harry and Prince William “will never reconcile”!

There are very few of us who can claim to having a personal, and unexpected, run-in with members of the Royal Family - least of all with the late Queen Elizabeth II. But someone who can is a builder who was left distinctly unimpressed and not at all in awe of the historic surroundings he found himself in while working for the late Queen at Buckingham Palace.The hilariously embarrassing story surfaced during a Channel 5 documentary when the monarch went entirely unnoticed by a tradesman at the palace who was offered a cup of tea by none other than the Queen herself.

told Closer.“It’s not just about pride or hurt feelings, there are very ugly repercussions for them when this constant narrative that they’re family outcasts keeps getting fed.”Charles only met Lilibet — nicknamed Lili — for the first time during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for the late Queen Elizabeth in June 2022.“It is not a decision that would have been taken lightly, it would be a decision made by the advice of his team,” Grant Harrold, the monarch’s former royal butler exclusively told The Post.“If they have been snubbed, Harry and Meghan would not be too happy, they would find it hurtful.

the Prince of Wales has found support from his cousins Princess Beatrice and Zara Tindall.William, 42, has been forced to increase his workload, all while his fractured rift with his younger brother continues to play out in public.According to former royal butler Grant Harrold, Beatrice has been lending him a helping hand, as well as some of the highest-ranking members of the Firm.“Beatrice is very close with both William and Harry,” the former royal staffer said. “Their relationship is fun and natural.

no longer includes the Windsor clan.But according to former royal butler Grant Harrold, the “Suits” alum will feel loved alongside her husband and her family, as well as some of her best friends.Harrold, who worked as King Charles’ butler for seven years, said Prince Harry is believed to be throwing an at-home cookout for his wife on her special day.“He is a gentleman and a good cook,” Harrold exclusively told The Post. “He is quite old-fashioned like that.”“They may have a party, they do enjoy summer BBQs outdoors so they might invite friends round for a dinner or a bbq,” he said, adding that the duke “will make sure that Meghan is celebrated.”As for the other members of the Firm, things are a little more complicated.Tensions had reached an all-time high after the Sussexes stepped down as senior working members of the royal family in 2020 and moved to the US.And despite the fact that there’s virtually no communication between the Sussex and Windsor clan, Harrold believes that the mom of two will still receive a birthday message from Prince William and Kate Middleton.“I have no doubt of that,” he said.

King Charles and Prince William could show unexpected support for Prince Harry by attending the Invictus Games when they come to Birmingham in 2027.

and Prince William are marking Prince George’s 11th birthday with a “private party,” the Post can reveal.As the eldest son of the Prince and Princess of Wales rings in his birthday Monday, the royals are making sure that his special day will be “as normal as possible” considering the difficult year the family has had so far.“Kate is still going to very much carry on like many many other mothers do, to keep as much of a normal life as possible,” a palace insider exclusively told The Post.“With royal birthdays, especially with children and especially Catherine’s, they are very private occasions.”As the Princess continues to undergo cancer treatment following her diagnosis in March, she’s making sure that George’s birthday party is just as fun as in years past, according to King Charles’ former butler.“It will be business as usual with potentially a party or other kids coming round,” Grant Harrold exclusively told The Post.

Queen Camilla is marking her 77th birthday today (Wednesday, 17 July) with a thoughtful gift from her husband King Charles, a former royal butler has revealed. Celebrations are also expected to take place at their former Highgrove residence among friends along with a 'private' family lunch.The Royal Family are known to celebrate their birthdays privately and tend to keep any plans under wraps. While a social media tribute is often shared on any royal birthday, fans have often been left wondering what they get up to on their birthdays and what presents they gift each other.

told the Express, adding that the “Suits” alum, 42, would still like to talk things through with the Windsor clan.“It’s not a case of Meghan being difficult, she genuinely feels hurt and would like some kind of sit-down to hash things through — but that’s not something the other side is willing to consider at this time,” the insider added.Despite Markle’s rumored desire to reconnect with the Firm, it seems as though hopes of a reconciliation seem far-fetched at this time.According to former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles, “too much damage” has been done for things to go back to how they were.“[Harry] caused damage and broke down trust,” Harrold exclusively told The Post this week. “It’s difficult when you’re a future monarch.”“I doubt they’ll ever get back the relationship they had originally.

the recent blowback from Harry’s ESPY Award nod proved to be no different.Harry, 39, was named the recipient of the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPYs, and is set to be honored at Thursday’s star-studded ceremony hosted by Markle’s pal, Serena Williams.However, the announcement didn’t sit right with many, including the late hero’s mom, Mary Tillman, who slammed ESPN and claimed she was never consulted about the decision.As the backlash continued to plague the Duke’s military recognition, former royal butler Grant Harrold says that the duo aren’t experiencing anything they haven’t already.The Sussexes are “very used to the criticism, given everything that’s gone on over the last few years,” Harrold, who worked for King Charles for seven years, exclusively told The Post.“I’m sure they’ll be drowning out the outside noise by continuing with their normal and everyday life and trying not to turn on the television, or read the papers as much.”“They’re being talked about constantly, given their profiles,” he continued. “From what I remember, Harry was always an extremely private person, so I’m not sure how he’ll feel about that, but I can imagine his way of coping with the attention is to carry on as normal,” he added on behalf of Fruity Slots.Earlier this week, Harrold suggested that the father of two is “feeling quite sad” about the negative response to him being named as the award’s recipient.What’s more, the former royal staffer said it’s possible the Duke could decline the prestigious award.“He’d never want to cause any upset,” Harrold said.

reportedly “endorsed” Markle as a woman she would back for the White House.But if the “Suits” alum was to venture out into the political sphere, the move would not only upset the Firm but affect her husband, Prince Harry, negatively.“The royals don’t get involved in politics and they never have, it’s always been a golden rule,” Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post.“If Meghan does — they are senior members of the royal family, despite not being working members of the family, so it wouldn’t be advisable.”Harrold noted that the Duke of Sussex, 39, could lose his last remaining royal post as Counsellor of State if his wife attempted to establish herself in the governmental arena.“I think it could have an impact on Harry’s status as a counsellor of state — if the King is unable to perform his duties, Harry can be called up to step in,” Harrold said on behalf of Fruity Slots.“However, if his wife is involved in politics, I think that could affect that as usually they’re not allowed to have any involvement in politics.”“If Meghan does go into politics, it’ll be interesting to see the impact it has on her husband,” he added.If the former actress was to try her hand at getting her foot in the door at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., it wouldn’t be the first time a Hollywood star set their sights on politics.Actors including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan established themselves in the political sphere after successful stints on the silver screen.The bodybuilder, 76, served as the 38th governor of California from 2003 to 2011, and Reagan starred in several Tinseltown features in the 1930s before becoming the 40th US president.Harrold’s comments echo that of

Clarence House is a huge property — it just goes to show the divisions between him and the family.”“If you come to the UK and you have family here, you would probably stay with them, wouldn’t you? I think it’s a very clear signal that the relationship between Harry and his family has deteriorated,” Harrold said on behalf of Fruity Slots, adding that the situation is “sad.”The Post has reached out to Harry’s reps for comment.Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, were last year evicted from Frogmore Cottage — a royal residence they thought would “always be there for them.”The pair were gifted the property’s rent lease by the late Queen Elizabeth II after their 2018 wedding.
