Expert warns Meghan 'upset' after William beats Sussexes at 'own game'

Kate Middleton and Prince William had an unsual dinner rule for their three children in some situations, a former royal chef revealed.

In a conversation with Harper's Bazaar picked up by news outlets in August last year, Darren McGrady said it meant Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, sat separately from the royal couple at special holidays and official dinners.

Mr McGrady, who worked for both the late Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, previously said the children “aren’t allowed to sit with the adults until they have learned the art of polite conversation”.

There were no exceptions to the rule, including for larger holidays like Christmas, he claimed.

Instead would have a festive dinner in their nursery with a nanny, which they did "until they were old enough to conduct themselves properly at the dining table,” he told the magazine.

A columnist has claimed that Prince Andrew needs to move out of Royal Lodge now for the sake of Beatrice and Eugenie, who've "already been stung".

In an interview with Sky News Australia, News Corp columnist Angela Mollard shared her thoughts about the ongoing dispute between the Duke of York and King Charles over the tenancy of the £30million mansion.

Queen Camilla's son Tom Parker-Bowles has revealed the mistake he made when he first encountered Queen Elizabeth II, admitting he was "so scared" of the late monarch.

Tom, 49, who is the son of Camilla and her ex-husband Andrew Parker-Bowles, opened up about meeting the late Queen during an appearance on ITV's This Morning.

He cooked live on the ITV daytime show, serving up a Royal favourite, titled Queen Elizabeth II's curry. Tom revealed he came up with the recipe prior to Her Majesty's death in September 2022.

"When I first came up with it, the late Queen was still alive. So I was one step removed," he told Ben and Cat.

Tom then revealed he only met Queen Elizabeth II twice - once as a young child and a second time at his mother Camilla's wedding to King Charles in 2005.

"Having only met her twice, the first time I was about eight and I was so scared, I curtsied wrong," Tom revealed, prompting the two This Morning hosts to laugh.

Prince William undertook a second engagement on Tuesday where he earned himself a new title as the Prince of Wheels.

The heir changed an environmentally-friendly tyre with ease on a visit to 2023 Earthshot Prize Finalist, ENSO, as they announced a pioneering new strategic partnership with Uber across the UK and USA.

The London-based start-up, which was a Finalist in the ‘Clean Our Air’ category of William’s prestigious environmental awards, creates tyres specifically designed for electric vehicles that are more sustainable and reduce harmful tyre pollution. At a Kia garage in west London, the future king was offered the chance by ENSO’s senior tyre technician Andrew Bernard, 28, to change the first tyre on its inaugural Uber vehicle, a Kia e-Niro.

Asked whether he had done it before, William said: "Oh loads of times!"

After being shown how to do it with an electric wheel nut remover, the royal changed the tyre with ease. "There you go, great job," said Andrew, "you did that better than me."

The Princess of Wales was highly praised by one of her royal relatives who said she is "doing so well" after completing her cancer treatment.

Last month, Princess Kate appeared in a video and spoke about her cancer journey, revealing that she has completed her chemotherapy and is now focusing on doing what she can to stay "cancer-free", with a "renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life".

Prince Harry's recent string of solo engagements without Meghan Markle suggests there is "something going on", according to a PR strategist.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, was present at the WellChild awards in London on Monday, marking his eighth public outing without his wife, Meghan Markle, in as many days, reports the Scottish Daily Express.

His lone endeavours also included a visit to New York, where he participated in several events including a panel at the Clinton Global Initiative as well as a guest appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

However, Mark Borkowski, a PR strategist who has been closely observing Harry and Meghan, informed the Daily Telegraph that the "separation" of their work has been happening for some time and suggested Harry might be "going back to basics".

Princess Beatrice celebrated daughter Sienna's third birthday last week with an adorable unicorn theme, including a gift from the toddler's grandmother Sarah Ferguson.

The humble birthday party also featured a cake from Tesco for Sienna, who has never been pictured with the royals, as per Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's wishes.

Beatrice's mum, the Duchess of York, said she got little Sienna a pink coat which she loved and her party guestlist also included Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank and their two sons August and Ernest.

Prince Harry was allegedly snubbed from a lavish ball at a top London restaurant on his latest solo trip to the UK.

The Duke of Sussex has been in London this week to attend the WellChild Awards.

During this period, it was announced that his cousin Princess Beatrice was expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli.

The venue where Beatrice and Edoardo held their engagement party, the Chiltern Firehouse, is due to host a masked ball to celebrate its 10th anniversary but a source told the Daily Mail that Harry has not been invited.

The Princess of Wales was highly praised by one of her royal relatives who said she is "doing so well" after completing her cancer treatment.

Last month, Princess Kate appeared in a video and spoke about her cancer journey, revealing that she has completed her chemotherapy and is now focusing on doing what she can to stay "cancer-free", with a "renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life".

Now Lady Frederick Windsor, also known as Sophie Winkleman, gave a new interview praising her "warm and supportive" Royal Family and even let slip her latest catch-up with the future Queen at Wimbledon's men's final in the summer.

King Charles is giving people, for the first time, the chance to eat and explore the grounds at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

The estate, in Aberdeen, is where the Queen died in 2022 and where King Charles and Camilla enjoy spending their holidays.

And now the public will get the chance to check the estate out for themselves, indulging in a seven-course meal inspired by the seven rooms guests will visit on a tour of the castle. The meal will also be paired with wines and live music.

The Prince William and Prince Harry feud has been ongoing for the past few years, strengthened by Harry's decision to quit as a senior working royal in 2020 before eventually moving to the U.S.

The Duke of Sussex has not held back in his criticism of the Royal Family, which has caused a deep rift between him, the Prince and Princess of Wales as well as King Charles.

But one unlikely royal could be the peacemaker between the brothers with an insider suggesting the family miss Harry and want him back.

Princess Beatrice's second child will be entitled to a royal title but it will not be a British one.

The royal baby will be a little brother or sister for the couple's three-year-old daughter Sienna, and Mr Mapelli Mozzi's son and Beatrice's stepson, eight-year-old Wolfie.

Neither Beatrice nor her sister Princess Eugenie's children - August and Ernest - are not entitled to British royal titles as they are not grandchildren of the monarch - King Charles is their great-uncle.

But unlike their cousins, the Mapelli Mozzi children have a title of their own and it's thanks to their father's side.

Prince Harry's "cheerful" appearance at an awards ceremony without any sign of "whingeing" has been hailed by one royal commentator as a show the "real Harry" could be making a comeback.

The Duke of Sussex was in London at Lancaster House on Monday night to pay tribute to the children and teenagers recognised at the WellChild awards, who act as carers, fundraisers or just carry on with life as they cope with debilitating conditions.

His brief trip to the UK came as relations with his brother, the Prince of Wales remained strained, and despite travelling thousands of miles from California it is unlikely the duke visited William or his father the King, who is receiving treatment for cancer.

Prince Harry has called for "people from the top" to "start listening" during his solo trip to Southern Africa without his wife, Meghan Markle.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, reunited with his old friend, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, and gave a passionate speech around a bonfire about the work his Sentebale charity has been doing.

Sentebale supports young people living with, or who are at risk from, HIV.

Prince Andrew’s daughters are being “eyed up for royal roles” after one seemingly overshadowed Prince Harry’s New York appearance.

Buckingham Palace had to correct its announcement of Princess Beatrice's second pregnancy after royal fans were quick to spot an awkward blunder regarding the princess's title.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Palace took to social media to announce the joyous news by sharing two new pictures of Princess Eugenie and her family, with one showing her and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's children, blonde-haired Sienna from behind as she walked along a country lane, holding hands in the middle of her father and big brother Wolfie.

But the photos were accompanied by a statement which contained a glaring spelling error.

Prince Harry was severely criticised by a royal expert after his latest trip to the UK.

The Duke of Sussex made a fleeting visit back to his home country to attend the WellChild awards on Monday.

Just a few hours later, Harry travelled to Southern Africa for a week-long trip to promote the work of Sentebale, the charity he co-founded with Prince Seeiso in 2006.

Harry's latest solo trips follow a series of high-profile engagements in New York without the Duchess of Sussex during UN General Assembly High-Level Week and Climate Week.

Now a royal expert has come out and claimed that the duke's latest moves try to mirror his previous activities as a working royal, however, that will not lead to any return back into the royal fold.

Prince Andrew and King Charles have been experiencing a brotherly feud over recent months when it comes to Royal Lodge and the Duke of York’s living arrangements.

The Duke of York has been in dispute with his brother, King Charles, over his living situation as he has been refusing to leave the 30-bedroom property in Windsor, thought to be worth £30million.

But now one of Andrew's friends has told the Daily Beast that the Duke "can sit tight and run out the clock" to win the feud and stay in the home.

Meghan Markle has a "remarkable story" to tell about her time with the Royal Family and is allegedly waiting for the "right time" to publish her bombshell memoir, according to an insider.

It has long been speculated that the Duchess of Sussex could be penning her own memoir following Prince Harry's successful release of his book, Spare, last year.

Now a source has claimed that publishers can't wait to land Meghan's tell-all book which could reportedly earn her millions in return.

Prince Harry was spotted in southern Africa yesterday just hours after his brother Prince William was photographed at an event with football legend David Beckham.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, attended an awards ceremony for WellChild in the UK on Monday before jetting to Africa on his next solo engagement without his wife Meghan Markle.

After landing in Lesotho, Harry had lunch with Princess Senate Seeiso of Lesotho, 23, where he was pictured standing beside the young royal.

Royal fans were sent into a frenzy on Tuesday when Prince William stepped out for a royal engagement with footballing legend David Beckham at his side.

With the Prince of Wales having been sporting a new beard since summer, fans of the future King have been swooning over his new look, with yesterday being no exception.

At RAF Northolt, the prince and David Beckham met up to mark the end of the London Air Ambulance’s ‘Up Against Time’ appeal, which has raised £16m for two new helicopters.

Princess Eugenie has taken to social media to congratulate her sister Princess Beatrice following her pregnancy announcement on Tuesday.

Eugenie, 34, fondly referred to her older sister as “Beabea” in the Instagram post, which featured never-before-seen pictures of the siblings last Christmas.

On social media, Eugenie - who is mum to Ernest and August - said she was excited for her sister and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi to have “another little one” to join the family.
