Prince William prevented from ‘very public insult’ to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Prince William and Prince Harry no longer speak to King Charles or Prince William, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still very close to their royal relatives. However, a royal expert claimed that the Prince of Wales allegedly protected his younger brother and sister-in-law from a “very public insult.”

They may be leading a very different life in California from the one they sensationally quit as working royals in the UK. But one thing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have continued to use, despite no longer being part of the working monarchy, is their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles.

The subject of the pair’s royal titles has created controversy in recent weeks, and there has been speculation about whether Prince William might decide to strip them from the couple once he becomes king. While the former working royals are no longer supposed to use their HRH titles for commercial reasons, Harry and Meghan still very much present themselves as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, titles which were gifted to them by Queen Elizabeth II on their wedding day in 2018.

There have been repeated calls from the anti-Sussex camp to strip them of the titles, but no indication that King Charles has any intention of doing so. Yet with William, 42, next in line to the throne, rumours have circulated that he might take a different stance, especially since he and Harry, 40, are no longer on speaking terms and, according to royal expert Jennie Bond, could be estranged forever.

But she warned that it might not be something we ever see happen, especially given the complexity of taking away titles. She told the Mirror: “Granted, there seems to be a public appetite for stripping them of their titles, but I think it’s unlikely that William would choose to do this. It would seem, and in fact would be, quite vindictive. There is also the question of whether a monarch can indeed do this.

“Some titles could be removed on the will of the Sovereign, but the universal view is that to strip someone of their Peerage demands an act of Parliament. Harry became Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron of Kilkeel when he married in 2018.

“And given that there are, in all truth, many more pressing issues, it would be a brave government to enter that field.” Even though King Edward VIII was in exile, he remained a Duke for the rest of his days.

Even though this would be a very depressing state of affairs, William may stay separated from his brother forever. But if he does, I believe he will continue to view Harry as being unrelated to both his life and this country. And I don’t think he would mind if he were to remove either of their titles.

Because they were not the children of Queen Elizabeth II, the monarch at the time, they were not automatically prince and princess at birth. Archie, six, and Lilibet, who turns four next week.

They became Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex, respectively, in the sixth and seventh branches of the line of succession, and they finally received the right in September 2022 when Charles acceded to the throne.

Following a backlash from those questioning the decision, given the couple’s earlier move to distance themselves from the royal family, the Sussex camp released a statement which said: “The children’s titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch. This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace.”

Last month, a podcast video from Meghan’s gift basket, which included a card that read, “With the compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex,” sparked another title debate. “The Sussex camp’s representatives insisted that the agreement was not violated because they are still permitted to use HRH in private.”

The Sussexes will no longer use their HRH titles because they are no longer active members of the royal family, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace when they resigned from their royal duties in 2020.

Jennie has a suspicion that Meghan and the couple would be “hurt and angry” if William were to remove them completely, given the evidence that Meghan still holds the HRH title. It would, of course, be a very public insult for Harry and Meghan, she said.

They appear very wedded to the idea that their children should use their royal titles, even though they have turned their backs on rejoining the working royals. Meghan, on the other hand, was specifically told not to use her HRH, which she is clearly not averse to.

If theirs were taken from them, I’m sure they would be hurt and enraged. In the end, it would undoubtedly harm their reputation, especially in the eyes of the American public, who seems to be a sucker for royalties. But I don’t believe this will actually take place.

Inside Sam Fender’s two-year relationship with actress as star prepares for Big Weekend gig

Rosa Collier, an actress, and Sam Fender have been dating for more than two years, traveling with her across Europe.

Sam Fender, the North Shields sensation with three Brit Awards to his name, has captured hearts worldwide with his music. The star, who is set to perform at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Liverpool on Saturday, has remained private about his personal life as he navigates his success.

His mother, Shirley, left when he was just eight years old, which helped shape his importance of his privacy. At the age of eight, Sam’s father, an ex-electrician turned music teacher, gave him his first guitar. Sam was forced to move on after Alan’s remarried when his stepmother had to move him when he was only 17 years old, rekindling their relationship.

Sam told The Guardian that he was dealing with abandonment issues before revealing his past struggles. When my parents split up when I was younger, my dad and I moved out, he said, but he and I eventually stopped arguing. Because of my long hair and sensitive skin, I was bullied in school.

He also compared how these situations had an impact on his relationships, saying, “You don’t realize these things affect you until you’re older, and you’re walking around with a pit in your stomach or why you push partners away. I realized when I had a girlfriend that I couldn’t give in to others. In a loving relationship, I felt unsafe. Because you’re leaving someone, you’re not hurting them, and it gives you the impression that you have control over the situation, I’d self-sabotage to almost take control of it. because you fear losing them so much.

Fans have been flocked to his girlfriend’s identity for a while, eager to find out who she is. It was finally revealed earlier this year that he had been dating actress Rosa Collier for more than two years. Rosa and Sam first dated before things started to get serious in 2023, according to a source who spoke to The Sun.

The insider claims that Sam and Rosa are “heartbroken and they met while she was a student at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.”

The source revealed that they had a brief flirt for a few months before things started to escalate in 2023. Additionally, it was revealed to the publication that Sam and Rosa have traveled extensively together and most recently went on a romantic Maldives trip.

The couple seemed “so serious,” the source said, and it appeared as though their relationship might be gradually going public. With a slew of UK shows scheduled for the summer, the musician’s other half could soon be spotted cheering him on from the audience because Rossa was accompanying Sam on his European tour at the time. Rosa is always in the spotlight and cheering her husband, the insider joked.

Rosa, who has performed in drama school shows like Macbeth and Pains of Youth, is followed by Sam and his bandmates on a private Instagram account.

Along with her musical prowess as a grade eight pianist and grade six tuned percussionist, she has a role in Our Man in Havana. She has a wide range of accents for acting roles, and she also has hand-to-hand stage combat skills, which might be useful for Sam’s zealous fans.

Sam had a romantic relationship with Bridgerton star Hannah Dodd before she started dating Rosa. Sam’s engagement with Hannah on social media in 2022 came as a result, according to a source who revealed to The Sun: “Sam thinks Hannah is absolutely stunning and has been liking her pictures like crazy, which is obviously very flattering for her. They are getting along very well, and she has also followed him back. Watch this space is a rule here.

Sam and Raye were also at the center of rumors about each other, especially after their cozy exchange at the 2022 Brit Awards. The two were spotted mingling at Sam’s exclusive gathering at Four Quarters in Peckham, South London, where they joined music sensation Olivia Rodrigo and a number of Sam’s pals after the two had shared several dates, according to reports.

Sam and Raye met on the music scene, and they get along really well, according to an insider. They’ve been on a number of low-key, secret dates together while it’s still early, but they’ve already spent a lot of time together over the past few weeks. They have a lot in common and have a lot of respect for one another.

After sparking rumours with Raye at the 2022 BRIT Awards, Sam’s attentions seemed to drift away, and he was caught liking several saucy posts from Lottie Moss on Instagram following their shared presence at the NME Awards. Sources say Sam was “taken aback” by Lottie’s stunning looks when they met during the award ceremony, leading to OnlyFans sensation Lottie engaging reciprocally via social media.

Kim Kardashian’s Paris robbers won’t be jailed despite guilty verdicts over armed heist

During Paris Fashion Week in 2016, Kim Kardashian was the target of an armed robbery. The case was just the subject of a trial for the organization, who was recently found guilty.

Not a single one of the armed robbers who held Kim Kardashian up at gunpoint and stole $10million-worth of jewellery will spend another day in prison, it emerged today. Lawyers for the seven men and one woman found guilty of targetting the 44-year-old reality TV star confirmed on Saturday that all remained free.

Following a infamous trial that lasted less than a month, they all received a guilty verdict at the Paris Assizes on Friday. A source for the defense counsel said that “none of the prisoners’ health and age factors and the fact that they have already spent time in prison will prevent them from returning to cells.” “All of the people have come home.”

The verdict in the trial was announced as Ms. Kardashian’s lawyers claimed that “justice had been served” and that she was satisfied with the outcome. Léonor Hennerick, the American’s barrister, said, “She can move on,” but she later admitted that the majority of the swag has never been recovered.

Aomar A. A. Khedache, the ringleader of the gang, who has been nicknamed the “Grandpa Robbers,” received the highest sentence of eight years in prison, with five of the suspended members serving. At Khedache, better known as “Old Omar,” is deaf and unable to speak in spite of years of abuse and violent crime, including other heists and drug trafficking.

He was given an eight-year prison sentence, but his defense attorney, Chloé Arnoux, said, “He has already served five years in prison. He won’t go.” The remaining three years will also be suspended because he was found guilty in 2017 of a second sentence in addition to the most recent one. According to Ms. Arnoux, “This decision also shows that justice can truly correct the situation in ways other than prison.”

Yunnis Abbas, 72, who wrote the book “I kidnapped Kim Kardashian,” has already spent enough time inside to escape. She was given a seven-year sentence and two years in prison.

Trial judge David De Pas had the authority to sentence the robbers to 10 years in prison, as had the prosecution, and they had requested that the robbers be imprisoned for up to 30 years. The Judge later acknowledged that “the sentences were fairly lenient,” but he added that none of the suspects were likely to reoffend because it had been almost nine years since the heist in October 2016.

The defendants were told by the judge, “You didn’t hit anyone; you scared them.” You “rebuilt your lives and taken steps to reintegrate,” according to the statement, “you caused trauma, probably in a lasting way.”

Two of the defendants – both considered informants who allegedly passed on Ms Kardashian’s movement to the gang during Paris Fashion Week – were acquitted.

Ms Kardashian lost some of her most treasured possessions in the raid, including a $4million engagement ring from her ex-husband, the rapper Kanye West. During an emotional testimony to the court last week, she said she had feared she would not survive the raid.

Did you believe you were going to pass away, Madam, Judge De Pas questioned her directly during court hearings? I retorted, “Absolutely, I was certain I was going to die,” the American responded.

Three months after the robbery, the majority of the defendants were imprisoned in January 2017. However, they were later released on bail, which meant that they were all free when the trial first broke out in April.

Although Ms. Kardashian was not in court on Friday, her attorneys claimed she was watching proceedings from her Los Angeles home.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star qualified as an attorney this month, following six years of study. She said she wanted to “fight for justice”, including for defendants in criminal trials. Her late father, Robert Kardashian, famously defended O.J. Simpson at his trial for murder in 1995.

Ms. Kardashian accepted an emotional apology from ATKEENEEN during the Paris trial.

Backlogs were brought on by delays caused by delays in other high-profile trials, including terrorist ones, but Paris detectives were initially persuaded that justice would be delivered quickly and decisively in the Kardashian case.

There were also fears that the Kardashian case would destroy the VIP French tourism industry at a time of prestige five-star events, such as the Paris Olympics and Rugby World Cup.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘disappointed’ over huge snub as they ‘don’t pack a punch’

There was no sign of Prince Harry and Meghan, despite the fact that it has emerged that the Prince and Princess of Wales have secured themselves a position on a prestigious list of the world’s top philanthropists. One royal expert has now explained why this might be the case.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have been disappointed to not take a prestigious honour that was handed to the Prince and Princess of Wales, according to an expert. It emerged that William and Kate have been included in the Time 100 Philanthropy 2025 list, but Harry and Meghan were not.

Kate and William were praised for being “less concerned with cultural preservation and more attuned to social issues” in the magazine’s Innovators category. Harry and Meghan, who were snubbed from this year’s list despite being included four years ago, had a different experience.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who quit their royal roles in 2020 to pursue private ventures in the corporate world, previously secured a spot on Time’s roster of the most influential figures back in 2021, which included a cover feature on the prestigious publication.

However, the couple, who tout themselves as “shaping the future through business and philanthropy” on their website, did not make the cut this year. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said the Waleses thoroughly deserve their place on the list, but believes not getting a mention themselves would have come as a blow to the Sussexes.

She told the Mirror: “I’m sure Harry and Meghan will be disappointed that they haven’t made the list, especially as they have emphasised their focus on philanthropy on their website. I wish them well with the work they do, but now, firmly outside the royal family, they simply do not pack the same punch as the prince and princess.”

William and Kate’s honor comes as the couple begin a bold project that will use a combination of grants and private time from their Royal Foundation to transform community spaces across the UK.

They have identified several locations in the country that could use financial support, as well as the creation of new task forces that could use their team’s expertise and guidance. The goal is to build a network of businesses that will support local projects to transform community facilities into sports centers. These projects will be announced in the coming months.

There is no disputing that William and Catherine have a lot of influence in whatever field they choose to work in, Jennie continued. And each of them has significantly contributed to solving pressing social issues.

“I think they will be pleased that their efforts have been recognised alongside the likes of David Beckham, Oprah Winfrey, and Melinda French Gates.

The Prince and Princess have put their energies into issues like mental health, homelessness, early development, and the environment. These issues have an enormous impact on a lot of society.

Their approach to royal patronage is more about “impact philanthropy, collaboration, convening, and helping people,” as William himself has put it.

William and Catherine were cited by Time magazine as being behind the evolution of royal philanthropy. It was made aware of their desire to secure the support of the causes they are highlighting through corporate support. They want to bang heads together and get action to solve some of society’s many issues rather than just figureheads.

Inside home of pet loving Wales family from sad loss to adorable new arrivals

Princess Kate, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are smitten with a few new furry additions to the family, despite the royal family’s reputation for loving pets.

It might not surprise you that the Prince and Princess in the throne are dog lovers because of the cute Corgis that come to mind when you think of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

And they are now alleged to be celebrating the arrival of a litter of puppies due to their beloved black cocker spaniel Orla’s alleged arrival.

The Royal children, Prince George, aged 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, are said to be utterly smitten with the new pooches, but will there be room in their quaint four-bedroom cottage for the new arrivals?

There’s definitely plenty of space for walkies in the 655-acre grounds surrounding Adelaide Cottage in the Home Counties, where the Prince and Princess of Wales live – although there’s no news on whether they plan to keep the four new pups.

It’s only a 10-minute stroll from Windsor Castle, where King Charles and Queen Camilla live with their Jack Russell Terrier, Bluebell. They had another Jack Russell, Beth, who sadly died in 2024. According to the Express, the mother and babies are doing well.

“We always thought the patter of tiny feet in the Wales’s household had ended, so the sound of tiny paws will have to do,” a source said. Everyone loves new royal baby news, and so new royal puppies run very close. Everyone is very excited, not least the three children, who adore Orla and Lupo before.”

In 2020, the family welcomed Orla into their home, one year after Lupo’s death. The adorable dog is a litter dog belonging to Kate’s brother, James Middleton, who is known to be a serious dog lover himself.

In honor of National Pet Day, William and Kate posted a picture of Orla last month in a heartfelt gesture. Celebrating the animals who so joyously, companionably, and love our lives this #NationalPetDay, the royal couple wrote in a heartfelt message on social media.

Meanwhile, the public has a lot of love for the Prince and Princess of Wales, which was clear in a video recently shared on Instagram. As the Prince and Princess of Wales were greeted by a crowd during their latest public outing, someone shouted at Kate, “You’re beautiful,” adding, “You too, William!”

The couple giggled in response, with William jokingly responding: “You don’t have to say that. Don’t worry.” They were on a visit to Scotland for a ship-naming ceremony for HMS Glasgow.

The couple, who met at the University of St. Andrews in 2001 as first-year college students, have a special connection to Scotland. Before dating and falling in love, they made roommates and eventually made friends.

Strictly Come Dancing star’s ‘obsessed’ teen stalker made chilling threat to murder family

Claudia Fragapane, an unnamed “obsessed” teenager who was sentenced to stalking Strictly Come Dancing star, allegedly told police that she planned to murder the family.

A teenage school girl allegedly threatened to “murder” the family of Strictly Come Dancing star Claudia Fragapane after she was convicted of stalking the star.

The former professional gymnast, 27, was forced to leave her home after she was subjected to harassment by the 15 year old, who reportedly became obsessed with the star. The teenager, who can not be identified due to her age, was given a restraining order for stalking Claudia but was accused of breaching the terms of the order by posting on social media.

And in accordance with the most recent allegation, she was detained by the police just one day after posting on her preferred social media platform. According to some, she allegedly said to the arresting officers, “I’m going to murder all the family.”

The schoolgirl has disputed that she violated the Bristol Magistrate’s Court’s restraining order.

In 2016, Claudia and AJ Pritchard teamed up for Strictly. The pair made it to the semi-final at the time. The case is still unsolved.

After being subjected to stalking by the unnamed teen, Claudia was reportedly faced with no other choice but to flee her home.

The schoolgirl eventually discovered Claudia’s address and showed up at Claudia’s door. The former athlete’s sense of safety was nonexistent prior to the teenager’s conviction for stalking because of the incident’s “fear and anxiety” that the teenager had experienced.

The teenager allegedly attempted to intimidate Claudia by breaking a restraining order, which led to her being arrested with the police.

According to The Sun, District Judge Lynne Matthews stated that Claudia had no idea how the defendant came to terms with her. She retreated from her own home as a result. She has completely transformed Claudia’s life.

The schoolgirl received an 18-month rehabilitation order that mandated that she reside with her father, that she be monitored for the duration, and that Claudia be prevented from approaching her at any time, including at her home.

If this was your last appearance, Judge Lynne Matthews said, “I’d really like it.” Keep her [Claudia] at her side.

Continue reading the article.

The judge came to the conclusion that “detention” may result from any violation of the rehabilitation order or extended restraining order.

Claudia was absent from court at the time.
