Royal Family: Prince Harry reveals only reason he would ever live in the UK again

Donald Trump showed his true feelings about King Charles in a five-word statement. While speaking to reporters after leaving the UK on Thursday, the US President gushed that "he is a wonderful guy" when talking about the British monarch.

Trump said the best part of his visit was spending time with King Charles and seeing the artwork in Windsor, when asked by reporters. The US President responded: "I don't know. I think being with King Charles, he is a wonderful guy. I got to know him very well. I knew him before but now I know him a lot better."

All eyes were on Melania Trump's dress as she attended the state banquet alongside her husband and US President, Donald Trump on September 17, but her 'optical illusion' dress has sparked an online debate. Melania wore a canary yellow strapless, long-sleeved dress, which was floor-length by the designer Caroline Herrera.

The First Lady paired with nude pumps and a pair of green earrings but it was her choice of belt that caused an internet meltdown as people are divided on whether it was pink or purple and no one can decide which one is correct.

Royal fans are delighted the "inspirational" Queen's Reading Room Festival has returned for its third year, currently taking place at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. The literary festival is a two-day event taking place on September 19-20, and brings together a star-studded line-up of acclaimed authors, experts, actors, and literature lovers to celebrate the written word.

Queen Camilla greeted famous book lovers during a reception at the Grade I listed stately home in Derbyshire on Friday, also marking the 250th anniversary year of author Jane Austen’s birth. Fans have praised Camilla for her continuation of the reading initiative. One wrote on X: "So important for the future care of little and growing minds. God bless Camilla on her quest for the betterment of an upcoming generation." Another exclaimed: "A wonderful initiative - books truly have the power to inspire, connect, and transform lives. Lovely to see Her Majesty championing the joy of reading."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's plans for their long, six-week break before their royal exit were kept under wraps so that not even their nanny knew about it, a royal author has claimed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent some time in Canada in the autumn of 2019 before returning to the UK and announcing their bombshell departure in early 2020.

At the time, the Sussexes shared a post which read: "Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours."

Although their location had not been disclosed to the media or the public at the time, the maple leaf emoji that accompanied their Thanksgiving message could have been a major pointer in hindsight.

Donald Trump praised King Charles in a recent interview with Fox News, stating how he's a "great person" having known him before he ascended the throne. The US President has returned to the White House after his 48-hour stint in the UK on an official state visit which was hosted at Windsor Castle.

Speaking to Fox News, the American president said: "He [King Charles] went through pretty tough stuff, medically, and he's doing great. But he's just a great person. I've known him for a long time and always said the same thing. He's a tremendous man who really stepped into a tough position having to follow Queen Elizabeth. She's got the all time record!" Commenting on the late Queen who Trump had previously met, he added: "To follow that is pretty tough, she was really beloved."

A former royal butler has shared the clever but crafty ways royal staffers would sneak alcohol around Buckingham Palace for consumption. Paul Burrell, who has recently published his book 'The Royal Insider', has shared untold stories of his life having spent two decades in royal service.

The 67-year-old worked for the Firm firstly as a footman to Queen Elizabeth II, then as a butler to Charles, and then most famously for Princess Diana. He explained how Buckingham Palace was often referred to as 'Gin Palace' as the alcohol flowed so freely.

King Charles will have a historic meeting with Pope Leo during a state visit to Vatian City next month, it has been reported.

The King will reportedly spend around two days in Vatican City, which he had planned to visit during his and Queen Camilla's four day visit to Italy back in April but it got postponed due to Pope Francis declining health.

Now new reports have claimed the royal couple will make a short, two-day trip to the city-state within Rome to meet the new Holy See.

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump’s second state visit to the UK is being seen as such a hit in Britain and the US that a return invitation for the King to visit America is being considered.

It is understood that the President intends to ask the King to come to America – possibly next year for the 250th anniversary of the country gaining independence from the UK.

Prince Harry could have an unlikely royal ally in his ongoing feud with King Charles and Prince William.

The Duke of Sussex has been estranged from the Royal Family since his sensational departure in 2020.

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have made a series of explosive claims about the royals, which have further deepened the rift between the two camps.

Queen Camilla gave a health update during her latest outing in Derbyshire, just days after she had to skip a major royal event due to illness.

The Queen visited Chatsworth House on Friday for her annual literary festival and greeted famous book lovers during a reception at the Grade I listed stately home.

The event marked the 250th anniversary of author Jane Austen's birth.

Prince Harry may not have met with his older brother, Prince William, during his UK trip last week, but according to one of his pals, they will "embrace soon."

The Duke of Sussex made a four-day visit to his home country, attending various events and even meeting with his father, King Charles, for the first time in 19 months.

However, Harry, who has been in an ongoing feud for at least five years, did not see his brother, who was busy attending other engagements around the country.

Now Alex Rayner, one of the Duke's close pals from his days at Eton College, who went on a charity trek with him to the North Pole in 2012, said good things could be happening soon between the two feuding brothers.

The Princess of Wales looked breathtaking this week as she attended the glittering state banquet for the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and his wife, First Lady Melania, in Windsor.

Princess Kate joined her husband, Prince William and the rest of the 160 guests for the grand affair at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.

She looked stunning in a gold Phillipa Lepley gown, an ivory clutch and the late Queen's earrings.

But it was her eye-catching tiara that caught everyone's attention again - the Lover's Knot tiara.

Donald Trump's apparent dig at Prince Harry during his speech at the lavish state banquet hosted for him by the royals did not go down well with Duke and Meghan Markle, it has been claimed.

The US President spent two days in the UK this week and was treated to a glittering state banquet held in his honour at Windsor Castle on Wednesday evening.

Mr Trump gave a speech in which he praised the King and his "remarkable son," the Prince of Wales. But he did not mention the Duke of Sussex, whose relationship with him has not been the best.

Now sources claimed the jolly affair in Windsor between Mr Trump and the royals left the Montecito couple feeling "repulsed" as they watched from afar.

Prince Andrew's appearance alongside other members of the Royal Family this week at the funeral of the Duchess of Kent did not leave a positive impression on the public.

The King, the Prince and Princess of Wales and other members of the Firm joined the Duchess's family on Tuesday for a Catholic funeral at Westminster Cathedral in London.

But it was the Duke of York's appearance that raised eyebrows as he showed up with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, and they stood next to the rest of the royals outside the church.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been brutally mocked in Spitting Image's latest episode.

The comedy puppet show, which returned on the week of Donald Trump's second state visit to the UK, featured skits with the Sussex couple, the US President, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and King Charles.

In its second episode, which aired on Friday night, the Duke of Sussex's balding puppet introduces himself as "just a regular fifth in line to the throne".

Queen Elizabeth was "left hanging" by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, after she had made special arrangements for her great-granddaughter, Princess Lilibet's special milestone, reports have claimed.

The late monarch, who died in September 2022, had reportedly organised a birthday surprise for the Duke and Duchess's daughter, who was named after her, but her plans did not turn out as she had hoped.

According to a former palace staffer, the late Queen had ordered a cake with one candle on it that never got lit, as the Sussexes had other plans instead.

EXCLUSIVE: Queen Camilla unveiled a glittering new addition to her jewellery collection this week, after being presented with a brooch from President Donald Trump during his whirlwind 48-hour state visit to the UK.

The tradition of gift exchanges has long been a hallmark of state visits, symbolising goodwill and strengthening ties between nations.

For the Trumps’ stay, which saw them based at Windsor Castle, the exchange was one of several ceremonial moments woven into a programme steeped in pageantry.

Prince Harry may have reunited with his father King Charles last week, marking the start of a reconciliation between himself and his royal relatives, however the same cannot be said for his wife Meghan Markle.

Since Harry and Meghan quit royal life in 2020, Meghan, 44, has returned to her husband’s home country just a handful of times, with 2022 marking the last time she stepped foot in the UK.

While Harry may be trying to heal some of the rifts with the Royal Family, with his meeting with the King, 76, last week marking a major milestone in this, Meghan has not shown the same ambition.

Prince Louis has a new autumnal hobby, which Princess Kate has shared with Melania Trump during her official state visit to the UK.

The pair spent time with a group of young Scouts from Lewisham at Frogmore Gardens on the last day of her and President Trump's official visit.

The pair went to Frogmore Gardens, where they met up with the Scouts Squirrels, the youngest subset of the UK Scouting organisation.
