Queen Elizabeth Ii: Celebs Rumors

Ever since his reign began last September, King Charles has introduced a handful of new modern proposals, but certainly nothing that has shaken the monarchy to its core. The most significant of these changes was to make both The Princess Royal and The Duke of Edinburgh Counsellors of State - thereby removing the need for Prince Andrew or Prince Harry to have to step in if the King was ever abroad or otherwise incapacitated.This approach of not drastically shifting how the Firm operates is something that former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond feels is entirely to the Monarch's credit.

Prince William turns 41 years old on Wednesday, and former royal butler Grant Harrold believes he'll receive a birthday card from his estranged brother Prince Harry. As it's been well documented in the incendiary Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, and memoir Spare, the Duke of Sussex, 38, felt the need to escape The Firm with his wife Meghan Markle and their two kids back in 2020, and has since caused national controversy with his insider allegations. Although Harry was indeed present at King Charles III's recent coronation, there was no public display of brotherhood or love among the siblings.

The Royal Family’s official Twitter account posted three photos of three generations — one showing King Charles chuckling alongside his late father, Prince Phillip, and another picturing Queen Camilla smiling with her late father, Bruce Shand.And, in a touching tribute, the account also included a photo of King Charles with his two sons, Prince Harry, 38, and Prince William when they were younger — amidst their ongoing family drama. “To Dads everywhere, we wish you a very special Father’s Day today,” the caption read.Prince William seemed to take a different approach on his own official social media account, posting two sweet snaps of himself smiling with this three kids; Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte 8, and Prince Louis, 5.To Dads everywhere, we wish you a very special Father’s Day today.

The Duke of York's battle to keep his home of 20 years at Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate still remains far from over as OK! can exclusively reveal that Queen Elizabeth made provisions in her will to allow her second son to stay at the home. Following 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.

Putting her best foot forward last week Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh again showed why she is such an asset to King Charles’ line-up of senior royals. Shining a spotlight on one of her key charitable interests – helping those with disabilities – the 58-year-old duchess visited Christopher’s, a Shooting Star Children’s Hospice in Guildford, Surrey. Elegantly dressed in a white frock and navy blazer, the duchess was seen smiling and laughing with young patients, taking part in arts and crafts activities, planting a tree in the grounds – and getting a kiss from an enthusiastic therapy dog.

The late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was born in Corfu, Greece on June 10, 1921 and was a member of both the royal families of Greece and Denmark. After a difficult and nomadic childhood, as well as a successful career in the Royal Navy, Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten married Princess Elizabeth at Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947.

To round off her historic Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Queen Elizabeth made a second appearance on Buckingham Palace's famous balcony on June 5, 2022 along with her three direct heirs and other key members of the family.This historic moment would sadly be the late monarch's final balcony appearance as she sadly passed away three months later at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Several details about the Queen's final months have since emerged, along with details of the "military-style exercises" the Palace put in place to help the Queen through her discomfort to allow her to offer her thanks to the nation for celebrating her monumental 70-year reign. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond reflects on this moment in royal history.

passed away last September at the age of 96, and her friend has claimed that her grandson, 38, made the end of her life painful. The pal alleged to the Daily Beast recently that Elizabeth was suffering from “painful” bone cancer towards the end of her life, and Harry’s announcement that he would write his memoir “Spare” added to her ailments.“For the last years of her life, certainly from when her husband died [in April 2021], the queen was in a lot of pain.

While the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's accession to the throne was marked in spectacular fashion in June 2022 with four days of celebrations around the UK, her Coronation took place 70 years ago today on June 2, 1953. Even though the ceremony was the first to be televised and was attended by 8,200 guests, royal expert Jennie Bond explains why it was another date in the royal calendar that bore more significance thanks to its ties to the late monarch's family.

Harry: A Biography of a Prince” writer had spoken to him about his desire for an “ordinary life” and she penned his thoughts for her Daily Mail column at the time.“I spent many years kicking my heels and I didn’t want to grow up,” Harry told the journalist.“I felt I wanted out but then decided to stay in and work out a role for myself,” he added.The now-father of two went on to say how he is “determined to have a relatively normal life” and hoped that he would be lucky enough to have children in the future.He then recounted what it was like to walk with his brother Prince William behind their mother Princess Diana’s coffin at her 1997 funeral when they were barely teens.“I don’t think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. It certainly wouldn’t happen today,” he recalled.Levin then wrote how she wouldn’t describe Harry as a “‘clown prince’ or a moaner, but a wounded prince.”Harry and Markle, 41, made the shocking decision to make the move to North America and took a step back as senior members of the royal family in 2020.The couple later did a lengthy interview with Oprah Winfrey a year later and also dropped their Netflix series “Harry & Meghan” this past December.

Even though Prince Harry was largely ignored by many senior royals during his father's Coronation earlier this month, there was one interaction that had people talking. As The Princess Royal walked to her seat dressed in her Blues and Royals uniform and her dark green Order of the Thistle mantle, she had a quick exchange with her nephew who was sat directly behind her.

The Duke of Sussex has spoken out a number of times over the years about the importance of protecting the environment. Whether it is his involvement in a service which tells you how much carbon will be emitted as a result of an airline passenger’s journey so that you can pick the most sustainable route or how he and Meghan were handed an environmental award for just having two children, Harry has inherited the interest shared by members of his family.

Her «Robe of Estate,» meanwhile, was embroidered with 24 plants, including the Lily of the Valley, which was the late queen's favorite flower. During the ceremony, Camilla was crowned with Queen Mary's Crown, which was made for the 1911 coronation of Queen Mary, the consort of King George V.

One of Queen Camilla’s closest aides is ruffling feathers in Buckingham Palace, as she takes on what might be the toughest job for royal aides.Jacqui Meakin is Dresser to the Queen, putting her in charge of choosing outfits for the most senior woman in the royal family.But Camilla’s long-time dresser has been raising eyebrows among other Palace servants by asking what other royals are planning to wear — and enforcing the royal rule that Queen Consort Camilla’s preferences come first.That makes Meakin the target of Palace whispers and a cruel nickname: she is known as “Ms. Meakin.”“She’s very petite but has a big character,” says one palace insider.

God Save the King.” A recent study conducted ahead of King Charles’ coronation found that the majority of young Brits are “not interested” in the royal family and believe the soon-to-be-anointed king is “out of touch.” The BBC commissioned an opinion poll through YouGov to determine how the United Kingdom felt about the monarchy as the institution prepares to officially welcome a new king and continues to make headlines with family feuds and scandals. There are clear generational differences regarding people’s opinions on the royals, with an overwhelming majority — a whopping 78% — of the youngest generation of adults, ranging from ages 18 to 24, being uninterested.

jig is up — and it’s going viral. As things are shaking up in Buckingham Palace, Princess of Wales Kate Middleton’s savvy secret to looking picture-perfect in photos is becoming all the rage online. “Royals fans are going crazy for the ‘Princess Shuffle’ that Kate uses to discreetly get closer to people in pictures,” wrote TikTok account @The.Royal.Watcher — a profile dedicated to all things related to the crown. The clip, which has fetched a staggering 2.4 million views, features recently resurfaced footage of Middleton, 41, meeting with Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, and Queen Margrethe II at Christian IX’s Palace in February 2022.As royal photographers begin snapping frames of the distinguished dignitaries, Middleton, donning a posh pair of black stilettos, is seen doing a subtle heel-to-toe jig, scooting closer to her hosts without looking down at her feet. And fans of the well-regarded Windsor family are going wild over the footwork. “‘The Princess Shuffle!’ I love everything about this,” praised a diehard of Middleton’s moves. “That’s a neat trick! Years of practice!” cheered another. “Shufffffffle!! Discreet and elegant love you Kate,” an equally impressed fanatic raved. “And in heels! I would definitely get caught on the carpet and wipe out,” another joked. However, not everyone was dazzled by the royal’s ability to photogenically cut a rug. “This is less discreet and less smooth than just taking that tiny step over,” spat an underwhelmed onlooker. “You mean she takes a step to the side? I’m certain that is the most important thing she has done in years,” said another, lightly shading Middleton, wife to Prince William and mother of three. #fyp #katemiddleton #katemiddletonstyle #princessofwales #princewilliam

grudge match between sisters-in-law Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle reached a boiling point when Queen Elizabeth passed away last September, according to one royal tattletale.The Princess of Wales has “built up resentment” toward Markle for making the former miss saying goodbye to her beloved monarch, according to royal biographer Robert Jobson, author of the new tell-all “Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed.” Middleton, 41, allegedly felt she was forced to stay back in England as Elizabeth died at Balmoral — in an attempt to prevent Prince Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, from traveling to Scotland.Jobson claimed that King Charles had ordered both wives to stay behind as it was “not appropriate” for spouses to be by the queen’s deathbed.“Harry was insisting Meghan travel with him to Scotland as the queen’s life ebbed away, but the king said it was only for the children and grandchildren to be with the queen,” Jobson, 49, claimed.The biographer also alleged that Charles, 74, asked Prince William not to bring the then-Duchess of Cambridge as, “if Catherine doesn’t come, Meghan can’t either.”Jobson added, “Privately, he wanted to say Meghan was not welcome — but he couldn’t say that to Harry, so he personally intervened and asked Kate to stay back so that it was fairer on Meghan.”However, Middleton was anxious to jet-set off to Balmoral to see the monarch one last time before she died due to her close friendship with Queen Elizabeth.“Kate deliberately stayed away, but she desperately wanted to be there with the Queen in her last moments,” Robson wrote. “That’s eaten Kate up and has built up resentment towards Meghan.”Elizabeth died on Sept.
