Prince Harry 'put on backburner' after huge move shifts focus to Meghan

The Princess of Wales is said to have inspired one subtle detail in Olivia Henson's wedding planning, it has been reported.

Olivia, 31, tied the knot with the Duke of Westminster in a lavish ceremony in Chester on Friday, June 7.

Meghan Markle would likely face major issues were she to try to relaunch her acting career now she's no longer a working royal, an expert has warned.

Since stepping back as a senior working royal with her husband Prince Harry, speculation about Meghan returning to her former career has been rife.

Prince Harry is continuing to be frozen out as he "struggles to schedule call with King Charles", an expert has claimed.

Since stepping down as a senior working royal at the start of 2020, Harry has experienced strained relationships with the Royal Family - including his father and elder brother.

Sarah Ferguson has made her return into the royal fold, but Prince Andrew is still on the outside, and that's because he isn't putting in the effort to make amends, says one royal expert.

Sarah and Andrew separated in 1991, after Sarah was caught having a fling with an American businessman, and that's when she fell out of favor with the Royal Family, particularly Prince Philip, who never forgave her for her misdoings, it’s been reported.

EXCLUSIVE: Prince Andrew is no longer a respected member of the community, but he has yet to come to terms with it, instead, he sees his daughters as a way to make a comeback, says one royal expert.

King Charles III feels his lack of closeness with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet "acutely", it has been reported.

The monarch is understood to have told friends that he is keener than ever to have a relationship with his two youngest grandchildren, who now live in America with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Prince Louis has offered the England football team some hilarious advice before they head to the continent for the 2024 Euros.

The young royal urged the Three Loins to eat double portions ahead of the matches to help them storm to victory.

King Charles III will join Queen Camilla and other members of the Royal Family at the annual Garter Day service at Windsor Castle next week, it has be confirmed.

His appearance will come just two days after a busy, high-profile appearance at Trooping the Colour on Saturday to mark the monarch’s official birthday.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's "last friends" in the Royal Family have been spotted "supporting" Prince William, having reportedly "turned their backs" on the Sussexes.

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have been long-time friends of Harry, with Eugenie even visiting the Duke and Duchess at their US home in 2022.

Prince Harry is reportedly hoping to find a home in the UK as he misses one key aspect of royal life, according to an expert.

Royal author Tom Quinn believes the Duke of Sussex especially wants to be reunited with his old group of friends, many of whom he has drifted apart from since he married and moved abroad.

He told The Mirror: "As time goes by, Harry misses some aspects of his old life in the UK. Inevitably, the honeymoon period where everything in the States is new and exciting is coming to an end and Harry is looking back at the past through rose-tinted spectacles.

"He misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they don't get on with Meghan. Harry is determined to find his own permanent home in the UK, which is partly why he's continuing his legal action to get the British taxpayer to pay for his security."

King Charles has been at Windsor Castle today presenting new colours to the Irish Guards ahead of Trooping the Colour.

This Saturday the King and several other members of the Royal Family will celebrate the monarch's official birthday at Trooping in central London.

Charles, who is Colonel in Chief of the seven Guards regiments of the Household Division, wore his Field Marshall Frock Coat and a wealth of medals and decorations to inspect the guardsmen and officers on parade.

He said he was "very much looking forward to" the celebration this weekend.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have remained close to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie since they stepped down as working royals in 2020.

However the York sisters were recently seen supporting Prince William at a Buckingham Palace garden party.

Eugenie has even been over to the US to visit Harry and Meghan in Montecito.

But just a few weeks ago she shared images of the garden party on her Instagram with the caption: "Come rain or shine, I was delighted to support my family yesterday."

Prince William has paid a visit to St George's Park to wish the England men's team ahead of their journey to Germany later this week.

William is President of the FA and met with Gareth Southgate and the rest of the team at the home of English football.

The Lions will be carrying a nation's hopes with them as they hope to take home a Euros title for the first time.

In 2022 the Lionesses won the Euros at home, the first silverware won by England since 1966.

Prince Louis has left royal fans chuckling with his advice to the England team ahead of Euro 2024.

Speaking with the team, Prince William said: "I was on the school run this morning and I asked [the kids] 'What should I say to the England team today?'

"The best bit of advice I got was to eat twice the amount you normally would eat.

"So I now have visions of all of you running around with massive tummies with stitches on the pitch. So I think maybe take my youngest’s advice with a pinch of salt, particularly around the physio."

Earl Spencer and his third wife Karen Gordon have announced they are divorcing.

However the Earl still managed to enjoy a family day out yesterday close to their estate, Althorp.

He took his sons Louis and Edmund to watch the rugby and shared an image of the occasion on his Instagram Story.

The Earl posted: "Wonderful to witness @northamptonsaints becoming rugby premiership champions with my sons yesterday."

King Charles is reportedly "not content" about his lack of a strong relationship with his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who are being raised in California.

Sources close to the monarch claim he is "keener than ever" to patch things up the Sussexes in order to keep the children close, particularly as he battles cancer.

An insider told The Mirror that the King is "absolutely committed to being present in all of his grandchildren's lives.

"He values family above everything and whatever the course of his relationship with his son he would never be content with just seeing his grandchildren on the odd video call."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry seem to be focusing on different things, as Harry reportedly yearns for the UK while Meghan has moved on.

Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror: "Meghan appears to have moved on to some extent, but then she was only part of the Royal Family for a relatively short time. She has more to focus on in the States than her husband has."

Relationship expert Louella Anderson added: "Given Harry was born into the Royal Family in Britain, it's understandable that he would have a strong emotional attachment to his past as part of the Royal Family.

"On the other hand, Meghan was born and raised in America and it would feel more like home to her and so it makes sense that she has an easier time moving on from their time as working members of the Royal Family and is focused on her opportunities in the US."

Princess Eugenie appeared to pay a subtle tribute to Meghan Markle with her choice of footwear at the Duke of Westminster's wedding last Friday.

She wore the Aquazurra Matilde nude heels, worth £620, which feature a strappy design tying in a large bow.

Interestingly Meghan wore the exact same style for her engagement photocall with Prince Harry in November 2017.

Queen Rania of Jordan married her husband, King Abdullad, 31 years ago today on June 10 1993 at the Zahran Palace in Amman.

She wore a dress designed by Bruce Oldfield, a favourite of the British Royal Family.

But her white wedding dress with gold trim detailing featured one very unusual component.

Queen Rania wore a matching short-sleeve jacket over the top of her dress.

Prince Philip would have turned 103 today, June 10, if he had still been alive.

He married his wife in 1947, when she was still Princess Elizabeth, however he did not become King when she ascended the throne.

According to Reader's Digest, the British Parliamentary law makes the rule as to who is up next in the line of succession and what title the monarch's spouse will have.

The publication explained that, unlike a woman marrying into the Royal Family, a man "is not eligible to take the male form of his wife’s title".

Therefore, "In keeping with this, when Philip Mountbatten married then-Princess Elizabeth in 1947, he did not become prince. It wasn’t until 1957 that Queen Elizabeth bestowed the title of 'prince' on Philip by issuing a letters patent."

Prince Harry decided not to attend the Duke of Westminster's wedding last Friday, as Prince William served as an usher.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold explained to OK! magazine that there were two reasons why he predominantly decided to stay away.

He said: "I'm sure [Harry] would have wanted to attend. But Harry and William shared friends and they have likely been drawn into this dispute. Plus, he may have worried that the rift with William would pull focus from the wedding.

"It will be hard for William to attend the wedding without Kate as I'm sure they planned to go together. They're such a partnership and he's his best self when she's by his side."

Prince Harry is reportedly yearning to come back to the UK and establish a more "permanent" home here.

Speaking to the Mirror, Royal author Tom Quinn shared insights: "As time goes by, Harry misses some aspects of his old life in the UK. Inevitably, the honeymoon period where everything in the States is new and exciting is coming to an end and Harry is looking back at the past through rose-tinted spectacles.

"He misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they don't get on with Meghan. Harry is determined to find his own permanent home in the UK, which is partly why he's continuing his legal action to get the British taxpayer to pay for his security."

King Charles will try to maintain his relationship with Prince Harry for the sake of his youngest grandchildren, whom he almost never sees.

One royal expert has claimed that the King's battle with cancer has made his desire to see Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet even stronger.

In her latest work, 'My Mother and I: The Inside Story of the King and Our Late Queen', Ingrid Seward reveals: "Family has always been important to the King. He remembers his own somewhat fragmented childhood as his parents were always busy doing their duty. It is a great sadness to him he doesn't see more of Archie and Lilibet.

"That is why he will never break ties with Harry. He does not want a FaceTime relationship with his son's children. He wants to know them and be involved with their lives while they are still young enough to be able to learn from his wisdom. His cancer has made it all the more poignant to him as he knows that he won't be around forever."
