Meghan Markle knows a memoir detailing her life as a working royal would fly off the shelves, but the prospect reportedly fills King Charles with horror, an author has claimed.

King Charles III is likely "hoping" that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's deal with Netflix continues for one major reason, a royal expert has claimed.

Meghan and Harry signed a five-year deal with the major streaming service in 2020, shortly after making the decision to step down as senior working royals.

Prince Harry made a touching gesture to Princess Charlotte moments before they said their final farewell to Queen Elizabeth II at the late monarch's committal service. The Duke of Sussex was sat next to his niece for the sombre occasion, with Harry and Charlotte sharing an emotional exchange.

Prince Harry has made various accusations and claims against the Royal Family since stepping down as a working member of the family in 2020.

Many royal experts have voiced their opinion on whether they believe Harry should offer the King an apology for his countless media stunts - especially amid previous reports that he wanted to return to the UK.

Prince Harry has been hit with a "sad reminder" from Prince William that he has "no relationship at all" with this one royal, an expert has claimed.

The brothers have had an increasingly strained relationship since Prince Harry stepped down as a working royal with Meghan Markle in 2020.

EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle is likely to stay away from the UK "for the foreseeable future" due to her lack of popularity, an expert has claimed, however King Charles could encourage her to return for one reason.

When Prince Louis was born in 2018 he was automatically bestowed with an HRH title, as his older siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte had been.

The youngster's official full title is His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Wales, quite impressive given he has only just celebrated his sixth birthday.

However, he only received his royal title thanks to his late great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth implementing a change to one rule that had been in place since 1917.

A PR expert has pinpointed the exact reason why Prince Harry's old statement about his wife Meghan Markle was taken down from the Royal Family's official website.

Last week, the royals made headlines over the removal of a particular statement issued by Prince Harry back in 2016, in which he essentially confirmed his relationship with Meghan while he lashed out at the British media.

Now PR expert Mayah Riaz suggested the move by the Palace was nothing more than a "cleaning up process" as the Palace wants to "exercise greater control over the information available to the public".

It has been confirmed Princess Kate will not be attending the Trooping the Colour 2024 rehearsal as she continues to recover from her cancer diagnosis, say Palace sources.

Instead, the role of Inspecting Officer normally carried out by the Princess of Wales, will be conducted by Lieutenant General James Bucknall K.C.B., C.B.E, as Kate continues her recovery.

It comes as the Ministry of Defence (MoD) was earlier accused of sparking confusion after announcing confirmed attendance at the Trooping the Colour without consulting Kensington Palace.

King Charles will take part in the Trooping the Colour ceremony next month but will inspect the soldiers from a carriage, it is understood.

Charles, who is currently undergoing treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer, is expected to conduct the review of troops on June 15 from an Ascot landau carriage with Queen Camilla by his side, the Sunday Times' royal editor, Roya Nikkhah, claimed.

The monarch was given the clear to return to public duties in April after a short break, however, Buckingham Palace said that any future engagements involving the King "will be adapted where necessary" to accommodate his recovery.

EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle is likely to stay away from the UK "for the foreseeable future" due to her lack of popularity, an expert has claimed, however King Charles could encourage her to return for one reason.

Since Meghan and Prince Harry moved to Montecito in California back in 2020, they have kept their family life over there relatively private with only occasional trips back home for the Prince.

Meghan, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have only been back to Britain once as a family - for the Platinum Jubilee in June 2022 - the one time the King was able to meet his youngest granddaughter.

Three royals could join King Charles at Trooping the Colour in the absence of Princess Kate.

Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall could all join the King at the event on Saturday, June 15, with the Princess of Wales unlikely to feature after stepping back from public duties at the beginning of this year following her cancer diagnosis.

Kate has not been seen in public in 2024 as she recuperates at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

Queen Camilla recently had a "fantastic" secret night at the theatre with her five grandchildren, it has emerged.

The Queen joined her husband, King Charles on Wednesday for a tour of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada) in central London, which has trained leading actors from Sir Anthony Hopkins to Imelda Staunton and Tom Hiddleston.

During the outing, Camilla spoke with actor and former Rada student, Daniel Mays, who spent around 12 months playing Nathan Detroit in the musical Guys And Dolls.

Oprah Winfrey launched her book club twenty years ago, and it’s still running, but now she has some fresh competition with Queen Camilla and her newly launched The Queen’s Reading Room podcast.

The Queen’s Reading Room just announced its latest pick, the 2017 novel Pachinko by Min Jin Lee with Camilla describing the story as a "really powerful presentation of women's resilience and grit in the face of adversity.”

Camilla is an avid reader, which is apparent in her review of the book: ”Pachinko is an expansive, multigenerational epic which offers a fascinating insight into life for Koreans in Japan in the 20th century. A moving and memorable read.”

King Charles's favourite cake has been revealed - but it appears it is one that splits opinion in kitchens across the nation.

According to Fiona Cairns' website, the King's "absolute favourite" cake is a traditional fruit cake, although not everyone is a fan of the classic.

Indeed, the humble fruit cake often finds itself at the bottom of the dessert hierarchy, with many Brits turning their noses up at this time-honoured treat.

Prince George has mastered one of his mother, Princess Kate's signature moves and he made sure to show it during his recent appearance in London.

The second in line to the throne, joined dad Prince William as they attended the FA Cup final at Wembley last Saturday, after Manchester City, who won their fourth consecutive Premier League title recently, lost to bitter rivals Manchester United.

George was pictured watching the match, as well as shaking hands with the teams after the final had finished but he was also seen pushing his hair back with his fingers, something which prompted social media users to compare it to a gesture often made by the Princess of Wales.

Prince Harry has been tipped to write a sequel to Spare because of the memoir's commercial success, but a royal expert has warned it may scupper the Duke of Sussex's chances of reconciling with the Royal Family.

Mr Hardman, quoted by the Independent, said the book boils down to just four or five pages about Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, adding: "Now, as an author, that says to me one thing and one thing only: part two might be on its way."

The author of Charles III: New King, New Court, The Inside Story, suggested Harry’s bombshell memoir is still casting a shadow over his relations with the Windsors.

Queen Camilla is calling on Britons to celebrate friendship, food and fun for a special event taking place this weekend across the UK.

The country is getting ready for its biggest and greenest Big Lunch yet, set to take place on June 1 and June 2, with the nation being urged to join in on the fun.

The Big Lunch is a beloved initiative from the Eden Project launched in 2009 and takes place on the first weekend of June each year.

It aims to bring people together for a few hours of community, friendship, and fun.

The Queen, who is patron of the Big Launch, has released her own message for this year's special event.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's youngest son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, celebrates his milestone first birthday today and the family are thought to be spending quality time together on this joyous occasion.

Over the course of the past year, Princess Eugenie has been selective with the pictures she has chosen to share of her son.

Here, Express takes a look at the rare pictures of baby Ernest.

King Charles and the Royal Family reportedly "hope" Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will continue their partnership with Netflix to prevent further "exposes of royal life" which have earned the couple "megabucks", an expert has said.

Since their sensational exit from senior Royal duties in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have embarked on several ventures including a Netflix series and Harry's memoir, Spare, which was released last year.

In March 2021, the pair participated in a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey where they shared their struggles within the Royal Family and the reasons behind their relocation to the US, where they currently reside with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

But now a royal commentator claimed the "exposes on royal life" have meant Prince William and King Charles "no longer trust" Harry and Meghan.
