The royal duo now live in a Montecito mansion in California after stepping down as senior working royals in 2020. Podcast host, Kinsey Schofield, talking on Sky News Australia, said: "They [Harry and Meghan] try to align themselves with people like Governor Gavin Newsom [California's Governor], Stacey Abrams, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former First Lady Hilary Clinton. They go out of their way to associate themselves with some of these people."

EXCLUSIVE: Prince Andrew has lived at Royal Lodge for 20 years but pride is keeping him from moving on, according to royal biographer Andrew Lownie.

Trooping the Colour takes place annually in London and is one of the most recognisable ceremonial events in the royal calendar.

It features an impressive display of pomp and pageantry, with thousands of troops parading down the capital’s iconic Mall.

The chance of a reconciliation between Prince William and Prince Harry appears to be dashed by recent odds of events.

The two brothers have been feuding for some time, especially since Harry's decision to step down as a senior working royal at the start of 2020.

Prince Harry is bracing for a "nightmare weekend" as two major events are set to highlight his ongoing feud with King Charles.

On Saturday, June 15, the King is set to be joined by other members of the Royal Family to celebrate Trooping the Colour.

King Charles was urged to make the Princess of Wales a Lady of the Order of the Garter because she "deserves it" as the Royal Family prepare themselves for a very busy royal week.

The pomp and pageantry will kick off this Saturday, June 15, when the nation will celebrate King Charles's second Trooping the Colour.

Mike Tindall was pictured wearing a very skimpy pair of swimming trunks on Bondi Beach with his rugby podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, co-hosts James Haskell and Alex Payne.

His blue trunks read 'Vanilla Mike', while Haskell's were bright pink with milk cartoons on and Payne's black trunks read 'for the game'.

The trio headed to Australia to discover what the country has to offer beyond the rugby pitches.

King Charles will attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa on October 21 and visit Australia later this year, Express.co.uk can report.

Sources reveal that aides are currently reviewing a foreign visit schedule to Samoa and Australia and have initiated preliminary plans which include site visits in preparation for a scaled-down Commonwealth tour by their Majesties.

King Charles, 75, was expected to attend the 27th CHOGM on October 21–25 before his cancer diagnosis was announced. However, Buckingham Palace has been reluctant to confirm the King’s attendance due to His Majesty’s poor health. With the recent improvement in his condition, he has now been given the go-ahead to attend.

Meghan Markle gave up her acting career to tie the knot with Prince Harry and become an official working member of the Royal Family.

The 42-year-old is best known for her portrayal of Rachel Zane in the US legal drama Suits.

Since the couple made the decision to step back as senior working royals in 2020, speculation grew as to whether Meghan would attempt to return to her roots and make an acting comeback.

Meghan is currently working on her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard and the couple's Netflix deal, but could a return to acting be in the pipeline for the former royal? Vote in our Express.co.uk POLL.

The Princess of Wales has promoted her long-serving stylist Natasha Archer to a key position within the Royal Household.

Ms Archer, 36, who has been working as a personal assistant as well as a stylist for Princess Kate since 2010, is now a senior private executive to the Prince and Princess of Wales.

"Tash", as she is known to friends and family, marked the change on her personal LinkedIn page.

It comes as she was spotted wearing an expensive Cartier watch, which is the same one Kate has been pictured wearing in the past.

Friends of King Charles have stated he wishes to develop a closer relationship with his youngest grandchildren, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, but this desire could backfire.

Having only had limited communications with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, mostly via video calls, he is said to be keen to be "more present in their lives". Royal commentator Michael Cole told MailOnline: "Painfully aware that time is precious, the King regrets that he cannot be closer to his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet."

King Charles was pictured having a drink with Rod Stewart at the Foundation event.

The monarch, who is currently receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, made an appearance at Tuesday's event.

The event, which is set to become an annual event for The King's Foundation, aims to showcase the work of students, teachers, alumni and partners who have contributed to the organisation's charitable efforts.

Although what the King is drinking as he cheerfully greets Sir Rod Stewart appears vague, it looks to be his favourite tipple.

Meghan Markle reportedly has one condition that she wants ticked off before she makes a return to the UK.

As reported by the Mirror, the Duchess of Sussex is keen for the couple to have a place of their own to stay before considering a return to the UK - as well as the appropriate security.

Speaking to the publication, royal expert and author Tom Quinn said: "Meghan has said she’s only prepared to return to England if she and Harry have a place of their own and the security they both feel is essential. Meghan will never return to the UK and stay with her husband‘s relatives."

Prince William mentioned the golfing accident which left him with a head wound during a fact-finding visit to Wales to learn more about businesses and organisations utilising the benefits of seaweed.

Entrepreneurs gathered at Cardiff Metropolitan University to discuss investment in the sector and display products based on what Derek Walker, future generations commissioner for Wales, dubbed the super-power of seaweed.

David and Victoria Beckham are said to be hoping to gain new titles after teaming up with King Charles, it has been claimed.

The celebrity couple have a long history with the Royal Family, and have scored invitations to various royal events such as both weddings for Prince Harry and Prince William.

David and Victoria's reported feud with Meghan Markle had made headlines. Prince Harry is said to have left the England legend "furious" after accusing Victoria of leaking about his wife to the press.

Now, David has been made an ambassador for The King's Foundation - which was formerly known as the Prince's Foundation. The 40-year-old attended the King's Foundation Awards in London.

Meghan Markle has been warned that her "tough outlook" and "absolute self-belief" could be stumbling blocks for the success of her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

A Royal commentator and writer has claimed that the Duchess of Sussex is finding it a struggle to recruit staff for her latest business endeavour. Meghan made a low-key launch of her new venture earlier in March, with an Instagram account suddenly appearing to introduce American Riviera Orchard to followers.

The initial tease of the brand came through a short video clip on an Instagram story, followed by a nine-part grid post revealing the company's logo.
