Prince Harry stayed at Frogmore Cottage during UK visit: report
before King Charles evicted him — while visiting the UK last week, the Telegraph reported.The former royal, 38, made a surprise appearance in court for his phone-hacking case against the Daily Mail, joined by other high-profile celebrities such as Sir Elton John and model Elizabeth Hurley.Harry did not see his father during the visit, according to the Telegraph, but the Duke of Sussex retrieved possessions that he and Meghan Markle left at Frogmore Cottage and shipped them to their $14 million Montecito, California mansion.Following the release of Harry’s bombshell memoir, “Spare,” the king allegedly ordered the couple — who were gifted the home by the late Queen Elizabeth II as a wedding present — to vacate the residence. According to reports, the Sussexes were “disappointed” to leave the five-bedroom property they had “made their home.”Prince Harry did not see his father during the visit because the King was too busy, the Telegraph reported, noting it was his first visit to the UK since receiving eviction orders.A royal insider previously claimed that Charles decided to evict the couple after his son described Queen Consort Camilla as a “wicked stepmother.”“It was the last straw,” an insider told the Mirror.

Is ‘The Crown’ based on true events? The real stories behind Queen Elizabeth’s most dramatic moments
her death on Thursday.But Emmy-winning Netflix hit “The Crown” has given us some insight into the monarch who has been portrayed in the series by Claire Foy, Olivia Colman and now Imelda Staunton. Still, the show has employed a fair amount of creative license in taking us behind the walls of Buckingham Palace and across the history of the late queen’s reign.In fact, series creator Peter Morgan has admitted that he has “made up” scenes, while one Palace source has accused the show of “trolling on a Hollywood budget.”Still, “The Crown” — which will return in November with its fifth season — had enough respect for the Queen to have a plan in place in the event of her death: The series shut down production for at least a week while filming Season 6, due out in 2023.Until the royal family is back in all of its streaming splendor on “The Crown,” we break down how much was fact versus fiction in reference to Queen Elizabeth II’s most memorable moments.In the third season of “The Crown,” Lord Mountbatten — the Queen’s second cousin once removed, who was also Prince Philip’s maternal uncle affectionately known as “Uncle Dickie” — was approached by a group plotting to depose Prime Minister Harold Wilson.

Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson denied tickets to attend Platinum Jubilee parties
source told The Sun of the official parade Thursday that celebrated the queen’s record 70 years on the throne.“The Queen’s birthday parade was the hottest ticket in town … But they were turned down as all the tickets had gone to family members of servicemen and military VIPs,” said the insider, whom The Sun described as “an impeccably-placed source.”“There are some tickets you just can’t buy,” the source said, insisting that the royal family does not “need American reality TV stars.”“The biggest celebrities in the world are already there — the British Royal Family,” the insider said.The 41-year-old reality star — who has been photographed in London this week with 28-year-old lover Davidson — was “politely” turned down by the UK’s Ministry of Defense, The Sun said.She then suffered similar humiliation while trying to get tickets for Platinum Party at the Palace on Saturday — even after saying she didn’t mind if they were “not VIP,” a source told the Daily Mail.Kardashian and her “Saturday Night Live” beau were turned down by both the Palace as well as the BBC, which is broadcasting the show, the UK paper said.“Kim rarely gets turned down to attend any event, so this has been quite surprising, especially as she doesn’t visit the UK often,” the paper’s source said.“Kim and Pete love the Royal Family and really wanted to be a part of this special celebration.”Kim’s representatives declined to comment, the Mail said.

The explosive true story behind new Amazon show ‘A Very British Scandal’
A Very British Scandal” premieres Friday on Amazon Prime, it will be the first time that most Americans learn all about Margaret, the Duchess of Argyll; her husband Ian Campbell, the Duke of Argyll — and the ill-fated string of pearls that proved to be her downfall during their bitter and lascivious divorce battle.The duchess was the Kim Kardashian of her day, a socialite photographed every time she stepped out on the town and famed for a string of affairs.But it all came crashing down when Campbell used photos he had stolen of his wife “in flagrante” with another man to shame her in court during their 1962 divorce. It worked, with Judge Lord Wheatley blasting her as “a completely promiscuous woman” whose attitude towards marriage was “wholly immoral.”The judge, a highly conservative Jesuit and a relative of Campbell, added: “I consider her to be a highly sexed woman who had ceased to be satisfied with normal relations and had started to indulge in disgusting sexual activities to gratify a debase sexual appetite.”As The New York Times reported at the time, the photos “reportedly showed a naked man gratifying himself and pictured [the duchess], dressed in nothing but three strands of pearls, performing a sex act on a naked man in the mirrored gilt and silver bathroom of her Mayfair apartment.”“Margaret really invented the tabloid scandal, which now is such a huge industry,” show writer Sarah Phelps told The Post.
