Adam Peaty’s mum has revealed the message which sparked the breakdown of their relationship. As the mother of the groom, you’d expect Caroline Peaty to be giddy with excitement over the fact that her son had found The One, after meeting the daughter of TV chef Gordon Ramsay.

But that has been far from her reality as Caroline recalls the moment the breakdown of her relationship occurred, leaving her uninvited to the lavish hen party held at Soho Farmhouse.

However, Holly Ramsay’s mum, Tana, was in tow along with family friend Victoria Beckham. And to make matters even worse, it has also been reported that she has not been invited to the big day, which is to be held at the iconic Bath Abbey on Christmas Day.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Caroline distinctly recalled the moment things went wrong for her. And it was when she sent a text message to Holly to share concerns that members of her family had not been invited to the engagement party.

Caroline first met Holly at the Paris Olympics last year, and the pair appeared to hit it off famously, to the point where Adam’s mum told the publication that they had grown so close so quickly, they shared personal and confidential stories of their past.

She admitted: “We had a really good time. We both shared confidences that will remain confidential.’ According to the Mail, Caroline felt comfortable enough to share that she felt concerned Adam was “pulling away” from his family.

But in a desperate bid to reassure her, Holly reportedly sent Caroline a text putting her at ease, which told her that she’d got her son back and “he’ll always be part of your family.”

But when the couple’s engagement was announced, that is when Adam’s mum felt a huge shift in the relationship with her son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law.

Caroline continued: “He told me he had found his soulmate. And I was so happy. As a mother that’s what you want, isn’t it? To see your children settled.”

The extended leg of Adam’s family was not invited to celebrate the happy couple, which prompted Caroline to reach out to Holly. But it was this message that changed their dynamic of the relationship for the worse.

Explaining the reason behind sending the message, she said: “I told her, ‘you know how important family is to you, as it is to me. My sisters are not coming to the party, they have been there all through Adam’s life…But Adam didn’t take kindly to me sending that message.”

And in an attempt to reassure the Ramsay family even further, Caroline bee-lined for Gordon at the engagement party to explain that there was no ill intent behind sending the message.

While Holly was busy celebrating her last days as a single woman, it is believed that Caroline was at home looking after her grandson, Adam’s child from a previous relationship.

Wading in on the tension between Caroline and the couple, Adam’s aunt Louise William also made her feelings known as she claimed that the Olympic swimmer has allegedly said “vile” things to his mother.

She wrote: “Yes. Adam is a born-again Christian. He’s not living by the tenets of Christianity is he? Where is ‘honour thy mother and thy father’ where is the forgiveness?”

Hitting back at a social media follower who claimed the family’s “lack of decorum” was the reason they had not been invited, Louise said: “Our family and friends place real value on love, friendship, loyalty and being there for each other.

I hate injustice, always have, and I will always speak out against it, whether you are the King of England or a sycophant like yourself. Unlike you I happen to know all sides of the story. Unlike you I have seen heard and read the most vile things a son can say to a mother.”

The late Queen was determined to preserve unity within the Royal Family, particularly when it came to Princess Kate and Meghan Markle, according to a former butler

A former royal butler has revealed exactly how the late Queen tried to maintain harmony within the Firm, especially between Princess Kate and Meghan Markle.

When Meghan and Harry went public with their romance, the former actress was welcomed by Prince William and Kate with open arms – and royal watchers hoped they’d make a bond that would last a lifetime. Fans lapped them up on joint outings and they soon became known as the Fab Four.

But according to Harry’s tell-all memoir, Spare, relations between his wife and Kate weren’t always plain sailing. In the book, the prince recounts several times that his wife seemed at loggerheads with his sister-in-law. He says the two women had a row over bridesmaid dresses in the lead-up to his wedding that left Meghan in tears and that Kate “grimaced” when the duchess borrowed her lipgloss.

But according to ex royal butler Grant Harrold, the late monarch would have done everything in her power to squash any tensions between the pair. He explained: The late Queen was known for her deep commitment to maintaining unity within the Royal Family. If she sensed any tension, particularly between Kate and Meghan, she would have quietly stepped in to try and smooth things over.”

Speaking on behalf of Slingo, he further added: “Her focus was always on preserving a strong and united front, especially among the younger generation of royals.”

Mr Harrold also suggested: “As Prince Harry and Meghan’s relationship grew more serious, it’s possible that dynamics behind the scenes began to shift. The Queen would have taken note of any signs of strain. If there was even a hint of things not being right, she would have done what she could to resolve it.”, reports the Express.

In 2018, reports surfaced of a tense exchange prior to Meghan and Harry’s wedding, where Meghan had allegedly reduced Kate to tears over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress. However, nearly three years later, Meghan disputed this version of events during her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, asserting that “the reverse of that happened,” although she did admit that Kate had ultimately “apologised”.
