Royal news live: Prince Harry ‘fears bringing Meghan and children’ to UK after taxpayer-funded security cut

The Duke of Sussex reportedly fears bringing his two young children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the UK amid his ongoing legal concerns.

Harry, 39, is continuing to fight for taxpayer-funding security when he does visit the UK, despite no longer being a working royal.

GB News’s royal correspondent Cameron Walker said: “He doesn’t feel his family is safe when they’re in the UK because they do not have police protection officers with the Metropolitan Police with him.

“So perhaps that is the main reason why Prince Harry isn’t bringing Meghan and Archie and Lilibet over to the UK because he can’t guarantee, he would say he can’t guarantee their safety.”

It comes as Princess Anne was forced to cancel her visit to Canada tomorrow after she sustained a concussion after being kicked by a horse on her Gloucestershire estate.

The Princess Royal, 73, was due to make the trip overseas to mark the 100th anniversary of the National War Memorial in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

However, following her concussion and minor injuries, she was hospitalised in Bristol for five nights, but has since returned home.

Wimbledon officials ‘hopeful’ of Kate Middleton appearance

Saturday 29 June 2024 19:05 , Holly Evans

Wimbledon officials have said they are “hopeful” of a potential appearance from the Princess of Wales at next month’s tournament.

Kate, 42, is the chair of the All England Club and typically presents trophies at the prestigious tennis event.

As she made her return to public life earlier this month, the princess, who is battling cancer, said she hopes to attend “a few public engagements over the summer.”

Club Chair Debbie Jevans told Telegraph Sport: “We’re hopeful that the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as the Club’s patron, but her health and recovery is the priority. We don’t know what we don’t know. All we’ve said is that we’ll work with her and give her as much flexibility as possible.

“I don’t know who would present the trophies as an alternative – that’s something to consider nearer the time if necessary. We’re staying flexible. ‘When we hear we’ll then think about what’s the right thing to do.”

The close bond between the two nations was praised by the King in a speech, with Charles telling Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako their “shared values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law” were more important than ever.

He also joked that he hasn’t had “any better luck” with more recent attempts at fishing - referencing the time they spent fly fishing when they were younger.

“The Pokemon phrase ‘gotta catch ’em all’ may resonate with my grandchildren, but for me it is, perhaps, aspirational,” Charles said.

Saturday 29 June 2024 04:00 , Emma Guinness

A royal insider has claimed that Prince Harry feels like he “doesn’t exist anymore” amid his seemingly frosty relationship with the royal family.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, has not seen his father King Charles since he announced his cancer diagnosis in February.

“He continues to be heartbroken and confused by the way he’s being treated by the royals. It’s as though he doesn’t exist anymore,” the insider told Closer magazine.

Describing herself as a “proud daughter of an Army officer”, the Queen Consort thanked those in the Armed Forces for “everything you do to protect this country of ours”.

This comes after King Charles and Queen Camilla travelled to Normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of the War D-Day landings on 6 June.

She said: “Eight decades later, I know that same spirit and those same qualities remain much in evidence throughout our Armed Forces, as you undertake your duties in the face of a multitude of challenges and dangers.

“In so doing, you not only protect these Isles, but also defend liberties way beyond these shores. Your determination, unrelenting efforts and selfless loyalty to each other and to the United Kingdom are as enduring as our gratitude.”

The Princess Royal, 73, was admitted on Sunday after sustaining a concussion and minor injuries after being kicked by a horse.

She has been forced to postpone her upcoming engagements as a result.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told the Express: “She [Princess Anne], like her father the late Prince Philip, won’t enjoy being asked to slow down and she will be a most impatient patient.

“She found the lockdowns frustrating as she could not meet people, whilst doing her charitable work, which she loves.

“[Anne] is suffering from concussion, as she did nearly 40 years ago. As an expert on equestrian matters she should, after briefly resting on doctors’ orders, make a swift recovery.”

Prince Harry ordered to explain deleted messages

Friday 28 June 2024 22:00 , Emma Guinness

Prince Harry has been ordered to explain why messages between him and the ghostwriter of his 2023 memoir Spare were deleted.

The ruling was made at the High Court in London yesterday (27 June) as part of the Duke of Sussex’s ongoing case against the publisher of The Sun.

He accuses News Group Newspapers (NGN) of using unlawful information-gathering to access his private life for tabloid stories in a claim filed in 2019.

Lawyers for the publisher have now accused the prince of creating an “obstacle course” to access his private messages as part of the case.

The judge said: “It seems to me inherently likely that in the course of discussing at length the material for the duke’s autobiography, matters would have been said that related to the parts of Spare in which unlawful information gathering in relation to newspapers is discussed.”

The deleted messages are believed to have been sent after the prince filed against the publisher, which could affect his claim.

Palace did not have ‘game plan’ for current health troubles

Friday 28 June 2024 20:00 , Emma Guinness

Following a tumultuous year for the royal family’s health, one expert has admitted the Palace did not have a “game plan” when King Charles and the Princess of Wales were diagnosed with cancer.

“This was not a public scandal or a crisis like an abdication,” royal author Katie Nicholl wrote in Vanity Fair.

“Nevertheless, it forced a rethink for Charles in terms of his slimmed-down monarchy and how best to serve the people. The mighty House of Windsor, which not long ago had the world’s longest-reigning monarch at its helm, suddenly seemed very vulnerable.”

According to reports, despite the problems presented by the family’s health this year, Prince William continues to share his father’s vision for a permanently slimmed-down monarchy.

Harry and Meghan’s move to the US reportedly ‘not working out’

Friday 28 June 2024 16:00 , Emma Guinness

After stepping down as working royals in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to California to start a new life, but it is reportedly “not working out”.

The revelation comes after Prince William attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in London last week with his two eldest children.

The trio later posed for a selfie with the American singing superstar and her footballer boyfriend Travis Kelce.

The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden believes the friendly meeting proves that the Sussex’s move to America has not worked out after Swift declined to appear on their now-defunct Spotify podcast.

“It’s a very different relationship because, essentially, Taylor Swift is here and she wants to show her respect for the Royal Family,” he said.

“In a way, you could say [she is] paying court to Prince William – whereas with Harry and Meghan, it’s the other way round.

“They’re the ones who seem to be always sucking up to Hollywood royalty.

“They thought when they moved to California, ‘we’ll be at the centre of this sort of royal court and everyone will come to see us.’

“But it never seems to be working out like that.”

Princess Anne ‘loathing’ attention amid hospitalisation

Friday 28 June 2024 15:00 , Emma Guinness

Anne, 73, was kicked by a horse on Sunday night as she walked around her Gloucestershire estate, sustaining a concussion and minor injuries.

The Sunday Times Royal Editor Roya Nikkhah said: “You can just imagine Anne absolutely loathing being the centre of attention.

“She’ll have really disliked the fact that while her brother was hosting a state visit, a very high profile state visit, Anne was the main news of the day, because she loathes being centre of attention.

“And she would have wanted to be there to represent the family.”

Princess Anne’s nickname for King Charles

Friday 28 June 2024 14:00 , Emma Guinness

Following the news that Princess Anne remains in hospital, her affectionate nickname for King Charles has been resurfaced.

The Princess Royal, 73, is widely considered one of the hardest-working royals and a close confidant of the king.

In the 2023 documentary Charles III: The Coronation Year, she affectionately refers to her older sibling as “Old Bean”.

The Telegraph‘s royal editor Hannah Furness said: “[Princess Anne] is, personally to King Charles, a real sounding board and a right-hand woman. They have grown up together, they have spent their childhood together when the [late] Queen and Prince Philip were travelling a lot, they are very close.”

She added: “There was a lovely moment in the documentary recently where we saw her calling King Charles ‘Old Bean’.”

Meghan Markle encouraged to ‘get creative’ with new lifestyle brand

Friday 28 June 2024 13:00 , Emma Guinness

A PR expert has advised Meghan Markle to “get creative” with the launch of her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.

This comes amid the Duchess of Sussex teasing various products including raspberry and strawberry jams as well as dog biscuits.

The products were revealed to the general public on social media through Meghan’s celebrity friends and influencers, who were gifted them to sample.

Publicist Sara Fruman told The Express: “There are plenty of strategies she can use to get publicity, and the most impactful would be to get creative and authentic – neither of which Meghan seems to be doing.

“It appears that Meghan is either getting poor advice or she’s not listening to the advice she is given. The latter may be more likely.”

Friday 28 June 2024 12:00 , Emma Guinness

A resurfaced passage from Prince Harry’s 2023 memoir Spare has revealed that he feared the now Queen Camilla would take his father away from him.

The prince admitted he had “mixed feelings” about the pair’s 2005 wedding but ultimately suppressed his opinion when he “saw Pa’s smile and it was hard to argue with that.”

“I knew without question that this marriage would take Pa away from us,” he wrote.

“Not in any real sense, not in any deliberate or malicious way, but nevertheless – away. He was entering a new space, a closed space, a tightly insular space.”

Friday 28 June 2024 11:00 , Emma Guinness

Harry, 39, is continuing to fight for taxpayer-funding security when he does visit the UK, despite no longer being a working royal.

GB News’s Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker said: “Harry’s case is he does not feel safe.

“He doesn’t feel his family is safe when they’re in the UK because they do not have police protection officers with the Metropolitan Police with him.

“So perhaps that is the main reason why Prince Harry isn’t bringing Meghan and Archie and Lilibet over to the UK because he can’t guarantee, he would say he can’t guarantee their safety.”
