The US President has vowed to "leave him alone" following the Duke of Sussex’s visa status coming under scrutiny.

Admissions of past drug use in his memoir ‘Spare’ led to legal action from conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation against the Department of Homeland Security in Washington DCas part of attmepts to have the royal's US visa records publicly released.

However, Mr Trump promised he would not oust him from the US, regardless of what the visa documents revealed.

Meghan Markle has announced a new addition to her new online shop that she launched this week.

The Duchess of Sussex took to her official Instagram page on Tuesday night to post a new story, revealing that she now has a dedicated page on ShopMy for her most beloved beauty products.

She captioned the story: "You've asked about my nail polish on With Love, Meghan - one coat of each, plus a few of my other essentials. Enjoy!"

The link directs the user to her new ShopMy page, however, now, there is a new page dedicated to Meghan's skincare and beauty essentials.

EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle was issued a dire warning after launching her new online shop this week.

The Duchess of Sussex took to her Instagram on Monday to post a ShopMy link featuring a collection of some of her favourite clothes and accessories.

Now, a PR expert has issued a major warning to the duchess, who is still bracing for the launch of her new brand, As Ever.

Renae Smith, founder and director of The Atticism, told the Express that the new online shop could confuse followers when her As Ever shop officially drops and gave the duchess a piece of advice.

Princess Anne joined her brother, King Charles, for a special reception at St. James's Palace today in London.

The Princess Royal, who is patron of the Butler Trust, and His Majesty met winners of the 40th Annual Butler Trust Awards, which recognises and celebrates outstanding people working in prisons, probation and youth justice across the UK.

The charity promotes excellence in UK prisons, probation, and youth justice by recognising and celebrating outstanding practices and supporting the development of good practices through awards, training, and resources.

Anne and Charles were snapped laughing as they mingled and chatted with the winners.

Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles and Queen Camilla's meeting with Pope Francis next month has been postponed.

The Palace said that Their Majesties visit to the Holy See has been postponed "by mutual agreement as medical advice has now suggested that Pope Francis would benefit from an extended period of rest and recuperation".

The King and Queen's tour of Italy is understood to still be going ahead, however there are expected to be some changes to the programme.

Queen Camilla was issued a warning ahead of her major tour in Italy with King Charles next month. The King and Queen are set to visit the Holy See and Italy from April 7 to 10.

While there, the royal couple are thought to be hoping to meet Pope Francis, health permitting. The Pope returned to the Vatican on Sunday after a five-week hospitalisation for life-threatening double pneumonia. His return brought relief after fears that his illness could be fatal or lead to another papal resignation.

Now, a jewellery expert has cautioned the Queen over the dress code she chooses while meeting the pontiff, as well as speculated the type of jewellery she would most likely wear.

Tobias Kormind, MD and Co-Founder of jewellers 77 Diamonds, said: "Royal visits to the Papal See require royals to adhere to a strict dress code rooted in tradition, respect, and protocol, with jewellery playing a significant role in their ensembles."

Prince William has been threatened by a senior Russian official in a statement posted online.

Writing in the message, Dmitry Rogozin appeared to threaten drone strikes if the Prince of Wales "gets into our sights".

Rogozin, who currently heads a specialist military drone unit, wrote: "This is a great target for my drone pilots."

Princess Madeleine of Sweden has announced a new business venture and introduced a natural skincare line called 'MinLen', which will officially launch at the end of the summer - but her royal title will not be used.

Madeleine, 42, noted that because it is a "private initiative," instead she will be using her name Madeleine Bernadotte in her new business initiative.

Promotion for Meghan Markle's new podcast has began, with the latest in the form of the teaser trailer on all podcasting platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Despite no longer being a working member of the Royal Family, one body language expert claims that there are many signs of "royal status" hidden in the promotion of Confessions of a Female Founder. The first episode is set to be released next month, on April 8.

Speaking on behalf of Casino.org and exclusively for the Daily Express, body language expert Judi James said: "The promo pose and podcast ‘packaging’ is riddled with symbols of royal status and authority."

Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan is celebrating his wife, Princess Rajwa, on her first Mother's Day. The couple, both aged 30, welcomed their first child in August 2024 - a daughter they named Princess Iman.

Meghan Markle has launched a new digital shop, allowing fans to shop her clothes, jewellery, and accessories, and because she receives a sales commission on each purchased product, a business expert has stated she is expected to "earn millions". The ShopMy platform is marketed at "elite creators" as a way for them to earn revenue if someone purchases an item through a link they have shared.

"She could potentially earn millions from this and is probably earning a commission on every sale she makes," money and business coach, Maddy Alexander-Grout, told MailOnline.

Set to rival Meghan Markle's anticipated wine launch, twin daughters of Earl Spencer and cousins of Prince Harry are launching their own rosé wine brand with their new venture named as 'Lala V'. The timing, however, might raise eyebrows with the Duchess of Sussex, as Meghan is also thought to be planning to sell wine as part of her 'As Ever' brand launch.

Fans won't have long to wait until the release. Speaking about the upcoming brand, model and socialite, Lady Amelia said: "There's something really special in the works that Eliza and I are launching this summer. We've been working on a rosé brand called Lala V – it's a play on Eliza's childhood nickname Lala and the French word for life, vie."

Meghan Markle has released the trailer for her new podcast, just hours after launching an online shop via her Instagram account. The Duchess of Sussex shared a teaser for the show, called Confessions of a Female Founder, which premieres on April 8.

In the one-minute preview, she says: "I'm Meghan, and this is Confessions of a Female Founder, a show where I chat with female entrepreneurs and friends about the sleepless nights, the lessons learned, and the laser focus that got them to where they are today. We're diving into the highs — and the lows – and the kind of advice that turns small ideas into billion-dollar businesses. And of course, we're going to get some girl talk!"

Meghan Markle's new online shop costs around £11,000 as the Duchess is expected to make revenue off the commission she earns through fans' purchases. The Duchess of Sussex had a busy Monday as she was particularly active on her social media.

Meghan took to her Instagram stories to post a ShopMy link featuring a collection of clothes and accessories, with the message: "Many of you have asked, so here you go! A little shopping to start the week. More to come". The website allows users to create "custom collections of your favourite products and gift guides". Meghan will take a commission on any purchases fans make through the links.

Along with many up and down the country, the Princess of Wales will be celebrating Mother's Day on March 30 with her three young children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six. But this time last year, the public had only just learned of her shock cancer diagnosis.

As Mother’s Day approaches, former BBC royal correspondent, Jennie Bond, told OK! Magazine that Kate will be all too aware of how fortunate she is to be celebrating the special day with loved ones. Jennie said: "There’s no doubt that every milestone is extra special for the Prince and Princess and their family as they move further from the day she was diagnosed with cancer. "This Mother’s Day is one they can wholeheartedly celebrate as Catherine continues her recovery looking radiant and back to her vibrant self.

Meghan Markle's new video on Instagram showed a key detail regarding her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The Duchess of Sussex took to her Instagram stories on Monday to post a sweet new clip showing a group of birds flying together while her children could be heard in the background.

The clip was captured by Prince Harry, who Meghan referenced, as she captioned the clip, "Flying into the week with my family. Thanks H for capturing this", alongside a red heart. During the footage, Archie and Lilibet's strong American accents can be heard saying "Wow!"
