Royal expert Jennie Bond has shared her thoughts on what a royal reconciliation might look like as Harry reportedly makes a significant move to schedule a potential reunion with the Firm.

Prince Harry’s reported olive branch to the Royal Family shows he is still a part of the Firm – despite him and Meghan Markle quitting their royal roles, an expert has claimed.

It comes as the Duke of Sussex is said to have offered to share his working diary with the Firm in order to avoid any potential clashes of high-profile appearances with the likes of his father, King Charles.

The major move from Harry comes after reports of peace talks between the Sussex camp and royal aides although some royal commentators believe that two major members of the Firm are unlikely to forgive his years of indiscretions .

Sources told the Mail on Sunday that Harry is offering his diary to the royal family to prevent another clash of events, such as when the Duke of Sussex ’s trip to Angola to follow in his mother’s footsteps overshadowed Queen Camilla’s 78th birthday.

The publication said the deal is even believed to extend to Prince William ’s court at Kensington Palace, with sources saying it is hoped the move to “deconflict” their diaries could lead to Harry and King Charles to meet face-to-face.

As the potential peace talks seemingly draw closer, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said that by Harry openly sharing his diary, it shows he is serious about mending the years-long rift with his family.

Jennie told the Mirror : “If it’s true that Harry has agreed to share his diary, then it clearly is a concession that he acknowledges he is still part of the royal family and that — even to a very limited extent— they work best as a team.”

Jennie clarified that the act is primarily focused on sharing the spotlight, making sure that important causes for both the Firm and the Sussexes get their uninterrupted time to shine, despite the many who think it might be time for a potential reunion.

Jennie said: “As much as the royal family might protest that they don’t like publicity, there’s very little point in doing all the good work they do unless they can shine a spotlight on the causes they are trying to help. And that means publicity. Therefore, if one royal knocks the other off the headlines because of a diary clash, it is the charities or causes they are trying to highlight which suffer. Co-ordinating diaries makes logical sense.”

The royal expert also made the speculative conclusion that “perhaps the King’s and Sussex’s teams recently met, resulted in this reported move.” It would undoubtedly make sense.

While many royal fans and commentators alike are hoping for a reconciliation between Prince Harry and his family, it is unlikely that a reunion will wash away the years of public barbs that have put such a strain on the Firm. As Jennie told the Mirror, it is likely that, if King Charles is open to meeting with his younger son, it will take time to mend the bridges.

Harry wants a resolution with his UK family, Bond said. He has made that known. However, it cannot be accomplished by clicking a finger. After all Harry’s accusations and revelations, there has been so much pain and damage. That essential element of trust has been lost. It won’t be easy to find a way to reconcile.

However, the officials’ meeting between the two parties does indicate that there may be a desire to find a solution. There is virtually no chance that William will want to see Harry because of his apparent invitation to a meeting with his father in September. We’ll just have to wait to see if the King, who is always busy, is available and if both sides are willing to make amends for such a contentious row.

After confessing to killing his plastic surgeon boyfriend, 44, and dismembering his body, Daniel Sancho Bronchalo was given a life sentence.

A YouTube chef dismembered his partner and disposed of his body in plastic bags in a horrific murder.

Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, 31, confessed to murdering his plastic surgeon boyfriend, Edwin Arrieta Arteaga, on a Thai party island.

The shamed chef also admitted to dismembering Dr Arteaga’s body last August when their argument over “sex and money” reached a boiling point. It comes after a woman, 20, was found dead on bus with 26 iPhones glued to her body.

When the crime occurred, the couple had been on vacation in Koh Pha Ngnan, a city known for its nightly Full Moon Parties. In early August 2024, police in Koh Phangan discovered portions of Arteaga’s body at a landfill. Bronchalo reported that Dr. Arteaga, 44, was missing to the police around the same time.

Bronchalo, the son of two Spanish movie stars, claimed at his trial that Dr. Arteaga allegedly attempted to sexually assault him after the pair allegedly got into a fight.

The Colombian surgeon then allegedly fell as the fight grew worse, hitting his head on a bathtub before losing consciousness and passing away.

Bronchalo had denied premeditated murder, but he later admitted to severing Dr. Arteaga’s body and dumping his lifeless remains into the sea. He led police to seven locations on the island where he dumped Dr. Arteagae’s body in plastic bags.

Prior to Arrieta’s death, the chef purchased a knife, rubber gloves, waste bags, and cleaning products at a convenience store, according to police’s surveillance video, which supported the prosecution’s claim of premeditated murder.

Bronchalo later admitted to the murder and claimed he had planned it because Dr. Arteaga threatened to discredit him and his family by revealing their sexual relationship, according to the police.

The shamed YouTube chef was sentenced to life in prison. Initially, he was given the death penalty, but the Koh Samui provincial court decided to give him a life sentence instead due to his co-operation during the trial, according to local police officer Paisan Sangthep.

Bronchalo initially served a four-month prison term for concealing or torturing a body, but as he admitted the hexagon, his sentence was reduced to two months.

Additionally, he was ordered to pay Dr. Arteaga’s family 4 million baht (£89, 000) in damages.

Rodolfo Sancho Aguirre and Silvia Bronchalo, both 50, are the sons of renowned Spanish actors. Their son’s sentence was issued last summer at the Koh Samui Provincial Court, where they were present.

HBO has produced a Spanish-language documentary based on the chilling events following Bronchalo’s case, which caused a stir in Spain.

The chef reportedly dismembered his lover’s body into 14 pieces, packed them in a suitcase, and then kayaked out into the sea to scatter them in August. Additionally, the island’s body parts were dispersed throughout.

According to the police, local residents discovered Mr. Arteaga’s remains in a trash can on the island, including his hips and thighs.

The suspect has admitted to killing Edwin Arrieta Arteaga and dismembering the body, according to police lieutenant general Surapong Thanomjit at the time.

He put the components in a boat and dumped them in the sea. When he allegedly refused to sleep with him, the victim claimed that she was furious. Then, after he hit him in the head, he cut his body to conceal the death. In the hotel room the suspect had booked, investigators discovered traces of the victim’s body.

Lauren Shippey, Jack P. Shepherd’s ex-girlfriend, reportedly left ” scratching her head” over the lavish wedding of Hanni Treweek to the Coronation Street star.

When Jack P. Shepherd arrived at Manchester Cathedral in an iconic red Mustang car, surrounded by a host of well known Coronation Street stars, it held the same grandeur as that of a society wedding. And while crowds of onlookers gathered around the Cathedral in awe of the lavish wedding, it seems one person who was not impressed was his ex girlfriend and the mother of his two children.

Apparently, Lauren Shippey reacted to the actor’s big day by not being invited to the ceremony. Additionally, her friends reportedly joked that it was comparable to the Royal Wedding.

Jack, 37, who has played David Platt on Coronation Street since the age of 12, married his fiancé Hanni Treweek last week. It comes after the touching moment Lucy Bronze consoles rumoured girlfriend and rival Ona Batlle.

The couple left the cathedral after the ceremony, taking photos with a red Mustang and wearing dark sunglasses.

She has known Jack for a very long time and has two children with him, so she knows him very well, a source told The Sun. “Lauren can’t help but raise eyebrows about the whole thing.

The wedding, they continued, “is not what she or anyone else really expected, and the entire pomp and splendor has left people scratching their heads.” She understands why her friends have been making fun of him because of how he acts like royalty.

Despite the alleged remarks about Jack’s big day, Lauren has “well and truly moved on” and has a daughter with her partner Ben.

Reuben, Jack’s son, and his father, both sat by his side in the car while his daughter Nyla, according to the Daily Mail, did not appear to be present at either the ceremony or the reception.

Since the soap’s creator, Jack, was 14 years old, Lauren and Jack have been together. However, their relationship deteriorated in 2010 when Sammi Milewski, a sales executive, and him fathered a son named Greyson.

Lauren then allegedly ejected him from their home. Together, Jack and Lauren came to an end and let go of the past. And an engagement sealed their union.

Lauren apologized in front of the public after Jack bought her a £3, 000 engagement ring.

There were articles about errors I’ve made in my private life that he apologized for on Sunday. I have had privileges that far exceed my own expectations as a result of my successful career with Coronation Street over the years.

He added: “The core ingredients to my success have come from the following areas; my family, ITV Granada, and specifically my girlfriend Lauren and daughter Nyla.I would like to apologise to my family, for all the hurt and pain I have caused them, to ITV Granada for letting them down, and especially to Lauren and Nyla, who are the most important people in my life.”

I’m deeply sorry for abusing my position as an employee, partner, and father, and I now need to concentrate on what is most important, my family, and my career, as he said in his final words.

After 15 years of dating, they broke up once more in 2017.
