Charles might travel to US to ‘find a resolution’ with Harry, expert says – royal family news

A service of celebration for the life of Lady Gabriella Windsor’s late husband has been held in Kensington, west London.

In late February, the daughter of Prince Michael of Kent was left bereaved when Thomas Kingston, 45, died from a “catastrophic head injury”.

Close friends and family of Mr Kingston, including some members of the royal family, attended the service at St Mary Abbots church on Saturday.

The Crown’s Meg Bellamy has revealed internet trolls said she was “too fat” to play the Princess of Wales.

The actress from Berkshire played Kate in the hit Netflix drama’s sixth and final series, which, among other things, explored the budding relationship between her character and the young Prince of Wales.

Speaking to the Mail On Sunday’s You magazine, Bellamy said: “I’d had this long day of press, it had gone well, then I went on my phone and there was all this negative stuff about my body online. The comments were mostly, ‘You’re too fat to play Kate’. That was a glimpse into being a woman in this industry.

“I thought, ‘OK, that’s a sign to distance yourself, because it doesn’t mean anything’. You can’t listen to that sort of stuff. Not least because most of it is written by internet trolls, or men called Gary who are holding a fish in their profile picture. I’ve had so many amazing things happen to me. They’re the losers for saying that. I’m living my best life over here.”

Reflecting further on the role, she said: “I’ve tried to put the character behind me. But, of course,” she added, referring to Kate’s cancer diagnosis, “I so feel for her and for the family.”

Bellamy also revealed she has the contact details of Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki, who played the late Diana, Princess of Wales, in series five and six. “She’s been so supportive. I can call her about anything”, Bellamy said.

A royal commentator has claimed there is “no foreseeable way” for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to be on good terms with the royal family again.

This comes after King Charles failed to meet his youngest son on his recent trip to the UK, citing his busy schedule.

Journalist and author Christopher Andersen told Fox News: “Even if Harry was to throw himself at the king’s feet and beg for forgiveness – which Harry is not about to do – the best he could hope for would be crumbs from the royal table, and the sort of grudging acceptance that is currently being afforded to Harry’s disgraced uncle, Prince Andrew.”

King Charles appeared “willing to find a resolution” to rift with his son Harry as he is reportedly discussing a trip to America to meet his family.

Royal author Tom Quinn told the Mirror that the king has had “discussions about an official visit to the United States” to meet with Harry, Meghan Markle and their two children – Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Relationship expert Louella Alderson said it reflects that “King Charles is willing to make the effort and put forth the time and energy to visit Harry in America, it could be a significant gesture of his desire to mend their relationship”.

“It’s possible that he may be more willing to address any issues and work towards finding a resolution than he has been previously,” she said.

However, the two experts highlighted the difficulties in plans as Charles has many Royal obligations as well as health issues.

King Charles is reportedly “considering” a visit across the pond to see his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Despite Lilibet now being three years old, she has reportedly only met her grandfather once.

However, as the Monarch, 75, is currently battling an undisclosed form of cancer and does not appear to have the best relationship with his youngest son, who he has not seen since February, it could be some time before this visit takes place.

Royal commentator Tom Quinn told the Mirror: “Charles has had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future, and there is no doubt if it goes ahead he would build in time to visit his youngest son and his grandchildren, but there are mountains of planning to be overcome before that becomes even a remote possibility.”

The Prince and Princess of Wales have shared their appreciation for female rangers as they mark World Female Ranger Week.

Posting on X/Twitter, they write: “Rangers are on the frontline in the fight against the #illegalwildlifetrade, but less than 11% of global wildlife rangers are female. #WorldFemaleRangerWeek celebrates the work they’re doing all over the world.”

In one video shared to TikTok, a fan documented William and his family in one of the upper-level suites of the stadium. And as Swift performed her hit song “Shake It Off”, William showed off some of his best dance moves.

The video of the British royal has quickly gone viral on TikTok, with more than 2m views. In the comments, multiple fans expressed how happy they were to see William having fun at Swift’s show.

“This is the greatest video of Prince William ever. Congrats!” one wrote, while another added: “This is the best thing I’ve seen ok slay Prince William.”

“Prince William is the Swiftie we all needed,” a third wrote. “He is positively unhinged in the best of ways right here!”

This is because he was the first-ever heir to the throne born in a hospital instead of a palace.

At the time of his birth, Princess Diana was just 21 and the now-King Charles was 33.

Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako smiled at the media as they walked through a guard of honour after arriving at Stansted Airport on Saturday ahead of a state visit.

The state visit begins Tuesday, when King Charles III and Queen Camilla will formally welcome the Emperor and Empress before taking a ceremonial carriage ride to Buckingham Palace.
