Royal Family: Meghan 'furious' after unexpected question in new interview - expert

Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, is not only known for her steadfast dedication to public service and her strong work ethic but also for the close and nurturing relationships she maintains with her grandchildren.

As a mother of two and grandmother of five, Princess Anne has found immense joy in her role as a grandmother, a role that allows her to connect deeply with the younger generation of the Royal Family.

It seems Zara Tindall and her brother, Peter Phillips, enjoy dropping their children to Anne's 700-acre Gloucestershire estate when they can.

In an ITV documentary aired in 2020, titled 'Anne: The Princess Royal at 70', Zara Tindall used a hilarious six-worded phrase to describe what happens when she drops her children off, she said: "We quite like leaving them on Sundays. We'll say, 'We'll pick them up later, bye.'"

King Charles expressed his "heartfelt thanks" to the emergency services in separate phone calls with Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and police bosses on Friday evening.

The King said he praised their efforts to "restore peace" and shared how he was "greatly encouraged" by the examples of community spirit that had "countered the aggression and criminality".

We don't think of Queen Elizabeth having nicknames for her accessories but it seems some of her jewels had an extra special place in the late monarch's heart.

Queen Elizabeth had one particular item that she loved so much, she gave it a cute nickname – a stunning diamond brooch that's considered to be the world's most valuable.

The stunning item has sentimental value too, having been passed from generation to generation, and been gifted to her from her grandmother, Queen Mary.

Express.co.uk poll results show readers believe Prince Harry should hand his £7million inheritance back to King Charles once received after his birthday.

King Charles's youngest son will celebrate a milestone birthday and turn 40 years old on September 15. Consequently, he will land a huge sum of money due to a trust fund set up by his great-great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.

An Express.co.uk poll asked 'Should Prince Harry give £7m back to the Royal Family after inheritance is revealed?'. The results of the poll reveal 75 percent of voters think Harry should give the money back. 22 percent of voters disagreed and thought Harry should be entitled to keep the money, whereas 3 percent of voters stated they 'didn't know'.

Royal expert Richard Kay says the late Princess Diana would have been 'broken-hearted' about Prince William and Prince Harry's feud.

Mr Kay, who is editor-at-large for the Daily Mail newspaper, told the Mail+'s weekly talk show Palace Confidential that if Princess Diana was still alive, the 'tussle' between her two sons would not exist.

Tensions between the Princes have deteriorated since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit their roles as senior working royals in 2020.

Mr Kay, who was a close friend of Princess Diana and would speak with her up to six times a day, said Princes Harry and William have been fighting over her 'legacy'.

He told Palace Confidential: "[They've] been tussling over Diana's legacy, they've been pulling apart Diana's legacy, [and picking] which part suits them best. I think it's a great tragedy...."

In their second television interview on American soil since their explosive 2021 conversation with Oprah Winfrey, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex discussed a new initiative aimed at safeguarding children from online abuse.

The interview, aired on CBS with Jane Pauley, follows the recent launch of their 'Parents Network', designed to assist parents in protecting their children from cyber abuse.

Since their contentious departure from the Royal Family and relocation to the US in 2020, the Sussexes had anticipated a warmer reception stateside, despite their Oprah interview causing a stir on both sides of the Atlantic.

Although initially well-received in America, the ex-Royals have seen their popularity decline recently. They faced further backlash last month when Prince Harry accepted the ESPY Pat Tillman Award.

British jewellery brand Monica Vinader are a favourite for the royals, with the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh both seen sporting accessories from the designer.

Most notably, the Princess of Wales favours the Siren Wire Earrings in 18k gold vermeil and green onyx, pairing them with various outfits over the years.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, gave us a glimpse of her Monica Vinader earrings while visiting the Royal Yachting Association. Her exact Siren Stud Earrings feature an amazonite gemstone - this style is currently sold-out, but shoppers can get the green onyx version instead.

It might feel like Swift fever has hit the nation as Taylor Swift returns this month for her final Eras tour dates. But one royal might not be there at the event.

Princess Kate, who has paused royal engagements due to her health status, has not openly come out as a Swiftie but has been vocal about a different singer.

The Princess of Wales has shown her enthusiasm for singer Ellie Goulding who even performed during Kate and Prince William's first dance as man and wife.

Prince William has revealed a present he once bought for Princess Kate that "didn't go well" - despite him believing it was a "good idea at the time".

The Prince and Princess of Wales met in 2001 while they were both studying at St. Andrews University in Scotland. A decade later on April 29, 2011, they married at Westminster Abbey in London.

There is no doubt that over the years, William will always pick out something special for Princess Kate.

However, he admitted that one present he bought her in the early days of their relationship didn't seem to go down well at all.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry held a rare joint interview on CBS Sunday Morning's Jane Pauley last weekend to discuss The Parents Network - the couple's new project helping bereaved families grappling with the loss of children to suicide caused by cyberbullying.

The couple, who now live in the US, opened up about their own struggles with mental health and loss and had a candid conversation about their experiences.

But eagle-eyed viewers said they noticed some tension between the pair during the interview, saying Meghan appeared to give Harry the side eye when he spoke at one point.

EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle's decision to bring up her mental health during her latest interview with CBS was labelled a "double-edged sword" by a PR expert who touched down on how well it would resonate with her audience.

The Duchess of Sussex joined her husband Prince Harry for a new interview on CBS's Sunday Morning show with host Jane Pauley to announce their latest project, The Parents' Network.

During the interview, the duchess opened up about her fears regarding online dangers when it came to her children, but she also spoke about her own mental health struggles as a member of the Royal Family.

Now Renae Smith, founder and director of The Atticism, has weighed in on whether Meghan's decision to bring up her mental health struggles from the past will have a positive impact on the couple's newly announced project and whether it could further damage their ongoing rift with the Royal Family.

Princess Kate awed us all in her stunning bridal gown during her 2011 wedding to Prince William.

And now we know the tricks she used to make her look even more stunning in the Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress.

Style expert Miranda Holder released a video saying that the Princess wore bum padding to accentuate her waist in a flattering way.

While admitting Kate didn't need the extra help as she already has a "tiny waist", Miss Holder said the designer Sarah Burton knows all about balance and proportion and what would complete the look.

Prince Harry has melted hearts after he was snapped planting a sweet kiss on his baby daughter, Princess Lilibet's nose.

The adorable and rare photograph was shown in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's docuseries on Netflix, Harry & Meghan.

In episode six, the couple talked about their second child, Princess Lilibet Diana of Sussex, born June 6, 2021, and delighted royal fans after they showed never-before-seen snaps of the then-newborn.

There are plenty of rules royals have to follow and when Meghan Markle joined the monarchy, she had to grapple with all the new protocols.

But the Duchess of Sussex, who dropped her HRH title after she moved to the States with Prince Harry, broke some of those rules which is said to have upset the late Queen Elizabeth.

One of those rules is to wear nude tights under dresses and skirts, but Meghan preferred to go without.

Royal expert Victoria Arbiter said this was surprisingly the Queen's most important rule, saying: "I would say that's really the only hard, steadfast rule in terms of what the Queen requires."

Meghan Markle has suffered a major setback regarding the launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard (ARO), reports have claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex's latest business venture was anticipated to hit the shelves at some point in the near future, however, a trademark setback has put its launch on hold.

According to the Daily Mail, records in July showed that there were "irregularities" to be "corrected" regarding ARO's trademark, four months after it was requested to register it to the US Patents and Trademarks Office - the agency responsible for granting US patents and registering trademarks.

The outlet claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lawyers have been notified of the various issues regarding ARO's trademark, which include "incorrect classification of yoga blankets, picnic baskets and recipe books".

The outlet claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lawyers have been notified of the various issues regarding ARO's trademark, which include "incorrect classification of yoga blankets, picnic baskets and recipe books", with the fees, said to total around £9,000 ($11,382), due to various bodies around the world.

But the Daily Express understands that while American Riviera Orchard has received several Notices of Irregularity requesting clarifications on goods and services, as well as the reclassification of certain items, these are entirely normal and expected when filing international applications. All fees associated with these notices have already been paid by Meghan and no further action is required at this time.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be considerate of Prince William and Princess Kate's work to ensure there is no "overlap" a royal author has claimed.

Since Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals in 2020, they have embarked upon their own projects, such as the launch of Meghan's new lifestyle brand 'American Riviera Orchard'.

They have also recently announced a joint visit to Colombia later this year at the invitation of the country’s vice president Francia Marquez.

Royal author, Phil Dampier, told Fabulous Magazine that the Montecito-based duo have set up a "rival court" across the pond, but in a surprisingly nice move, have made sure their projects do not coincide with William and Kate's.

The Princess of Wales reportedly asked her friends to refer to her as 'Catherine' instead of 'Kate' just before she married into the Royal Family, one expert claims.

According to royal expert Robert Jobson, this request led to further speculation that Prince William - who she began dating in the early 2000s - was set to propose.

In his book, 'Catherine, the Princess of Wales', Kate sent a "humorous email to her close friends".

The author wrote: "I hear that in the past few weeks, the former accessories buyer has quietly informed friends that she would like to drop the informal ‘Kate’ and in future wishes to be known by her full name: Catherine.”

Princess Eugenie has marked her sister Princess Beatrice's 36th birthday by sharing some very sweet photos on Instagram.

The first two show the sisters on holiday, while the last is Beatrice with her nephew. The adorable picture appears to be taken at Easter, as the youngster is sat surrounded by spring daffodils and Beatrice is donning some bunny ears.

It's not clear whether the child is August, Eugenie's firstborn aged three, or Ernest, aged 14 months.

More than a year after the release of Prince Harry's bombshell memoir, Spare, a royal expert claims the repercussions of Harry's revelations are still being felt.

Spare landed on bookshelves in January 2023, just a few months after the demise of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. It became the best-selling book of 2023, and it sold almost half a million copies in the UK in its first week of sale.

In the pages, he shared personal details of growing up, and his life within the Royal Family, including events on the day the late sovereign passed away.

King Charles isn't currently planning visits to riot-hit hotspots as the monarch follows the late Queen's lead in his response.

Royal sources have said Charles is being kept updated daily about the disorder which has plagued streets in England and Northern Ireland since three girls were fatally stabbed in Southport, Merseyside.

The Labour Government leads the response to the unrest, with Charles expected as monarch to stay out of politics.

Anti-monarchy group, Republic, has criticised the lack of response from the King, with its leader, Graham Smith, claiming that when the nation is in crisis, the monarch is "nowhere to be seen".
