Prince William says Dame Deborah inspired others with sheer force of her spirits

Kate Middleton and Prince William are making sure they do not repeat Princess Diana's 'parenting regret' with their own brood, a Royal expert has claimed. Kate, 41, and William, 40, are known to be hands-on parents to Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, five, and are said to have been influenced by the love and support of William's late mother Princess Diana. However, Diana had one "big regret" when it came to her parenting technique, and that was down to having to be away for long periods of time due to work, according to royal expert Duncan Larcombe.

Prince William has shared that his youngest son, five year old Prince Louis, is a big fan of American band OneRepublic.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly been left out of King Charles III's 75th birthday celebrations on Nov 14.The intimate party, set to take place at Clarence House, is expected to include the King's closest friends and family, but it seems Harry and Meghan may not be on the guest list.There's a bit of confusion about why the couple won't be attending.

Diana, Princess of Wales was praised time and time again for raising her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, as normally as their circumstances would allow.The late royal's biographer, Andrew Morton, previously said: “She took the young royals with her on her private charity visits from a young age… One of the reasons was she didn't want the boys to grow up thinking the whole world was 4x4 Range Rovers, shotguns and nannies.” As well as offering her sons a glimpse of the real world, Diana was famous for being the chief prankster of the family. She often did cheeky things or bought naughty gifts for her sons to embarrass them with.

told Closer magazine.“They may have moved to California, but it’s William and Kate who had the most support out there, and there is a certain level of smugness about that.”“They insist that they’d be doing this regardless of where the Sussexes live, but there is no doubt they’ll enjoy showing Meghan and Harry how Hollywood is still very much obsessed with all things royal,” the insider added.According to reports, the Waleses will be kickstarting their Earthshot initiative before planning to “tap all their celebrity friends for help.”To get the ball rolling, William — the heir to the throne — in September flew to NYC to find “trailblazing climate solutions to repair our planet by 2030.”Now, William and Kate are reportedly looking to get their celebrity pals — including Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift, and Tom Hanks — on board with the project.“Everyone wants to be around them,” a source said of the Waleses.The new report seemingly echoes PR expert Andy Barr’s recent comments about the Sussexes, claiming that they are “jealous” of William and Kate’s advantage submitting a trademark application in the US.Barr told the Mirror that Harry and Meghan would be somewhat envious of the doors that would potentially open to William and Kate — should they wish to take on the States.“Whilst Harry and Meghan have a powerful and well established network of celebrity friends and ‘fixers’, there is no substitute for being an actual, fully paid up member of the royal family,” Barr told the outlet.“The global interest and intrigue in the British Royal Family means that they are guaranteed crowds wherever they go and whatever they do.”William reportedly submitted an application to the US Patent and Trademark Office on May 12 to trademark “The Royal

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

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.

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.

It has often been said that Windsor Castle is the most haunted of all the royal residences, with over 25 reported experiences with ghosts and spirits. These claims include sightings of Queen Elizabeth I, King Henry VIII and King George III, and even the late Queen admitted to witnessing at least one ghostly encounter.

It’s almost one year since the release of the Sussexes’ explosive tell-all Netflix docuseries and Prince Harry’s book Spare, both of which dropped several bombshells about the royal family. But now the tables look set to turn, due to a forthcoming memoir by the Princess of Wales’ uncle.
