After having their first face-to-face meeting in months, many hope Prince Harry and King Charles can get their fragile relationship back on track.

It comes after Harry claimed his father previously wasn’t speaking to him after a family fall out. Issues between the Sussexes and the royals can be traced back to the time they decided to quit royal life. And it according to one royal author, was a photo fo the Firm featuring Prince George that proved to be a ‘wake up call’ for Harry and his wife Meghan, and cemented their decision to quit life in the UK.

The image in question showed the late Queen with her three heirs, the then-Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George, who was six at the time, in the throne room at Buckingham Palace to mark the dawn of a new decade in 2020.

Just a few days prior to Harry and Meghan’s initial announcement that they would step down as working royals, the announcement was made. On first glance, the image merely reflected the monarchy’s future and mirrored many of its historical portraits. However, it is claimed that behind the scenes things got sour.

Andrew Morton wrote in Meghan: A Hollywood Princess that the royal couple believed the institution was conspiring against them as a whole. The evidence was everywhere for them as they saw it. With or without Meghan and Harry, the unwritten code provided for the monarchy’s future.

Morton further explained that Harry and Meghan had begun considering leaving The Firm sooner than the general consensus, and that negotiations started six months after their wedding, according to Morton in his podcast Pod Save The King. He claimed that Harry and Oprah Winfrey were engaged in a conversation in a hotel in London in November 2018. They therefore considered a different mode of transportation very early on.

A source earlier this week claimed that Harry’s latest move, in part due to his security arrangements in the UK, does run the risk of being reconciled with his father.

An insider close to the Duke of Sussex said that he wrote to the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood shortly after her appointment to the role and submitted a formal request for a risk assessment to the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), overseen by the Home Office.

It comes after Harry lost an appeal in May challenging the Home Office’s decision to grant him a different level of taxpayer-funded protection while he is in the country.

Since he left his royal role, he is no longer automatically entitled to police protection, and he is currently receiving “bespoke” protection on a case-by-case basis.

But now a source has told The Sunday Times that his letter to Ms Mahmood, will make the King ‘wary’ of speaking to his younger son, saying: “It’s not going to help matters. We’re back to where we were.”

Harry’s family had previously suggested the King might have intervened, but palace sources have refrained from doing so.

According to The Sunday Times, the King and his advisers hoped that the Court of Appeal decision would sever a gap in the conflict and aid in Harry’s recovery.

Behind It All, a popular television show starring Molly-Mae Hague, has a new season. Although the 26-year-old businesswoman frequently shares snippets of her social media feeds, including her favorite beauty products, fans will get a glimpse into her busy life.

One of the perfumes Molly-Mae loves is just so happen to be available for £5, according to the woman who claims it to be “just stunning.” The designer scent retails for £45 for 30ml, but those who want to try it first can purchase a Tom Ford discovery set for £30, which includes the former Love Islander’s signature Soleil Blanc eau de toilette.

The set includes six Tom Ford fragrances in sample sizes, including the Black Orchid Eau De Parfum, Noir Extreme Eau De Parfum, Ombré Leather Eau De Parfum, Eau De Soleil Blanc Eau De Toilette, Costa Azzurra Eau De Parfum, and Grey Vetiver Eau De Parfum, priced at £5 per fragrance.

According to MyLondon, Molly-Mae once expressed her love for the Soleil Blanc scent, adding that it was “absolutely stunning.” After a day of sunbathing, it gives you a holiday evening.

Its “divine” scent, which is considered to be unisex, includes notes of pistachio and cardamom, as well as hints of orange bitter, ylang ylang, and coco de mer accords. This fragrance might appeal to those who enjoy the Maison Margiela Beach Walk ($29, Space NK), which has a few notes in common.

The £10 markdown on Marks and Spencer’s Sweet Pistachio Eau de Toilette 100ml is also available for pistachio lovers. This fragrance has received positive reviews as “perfect for day or night.”

This Tom Ford discovery set does not include the beloved Molly-Mae scent in its eau de toilette version, but rather the eau de parfum version. The difference is that the fragrant oils are less concentrated and have a concentration of between 5 and 15%, according to EDT. This implies that the scents may not be the same as they are, but they may be similar in quality and duration.

Customers have said of the discovery set as a “good opportunity to test all these, before purchasing anything bigger and more expensive,” which is a great opportunity for those wanting to try out Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc perfume before buying a full size.

One Soleil Blanc fan specifically said, “This is such a light perfume with the most beautiful scent. I have a lot of different perfumes, but I always end up with my all-time favorite until I smell this one in a coworker, so I bought it myself.

Another praised the body spray’s “absolutely divine fragrance that lasts the entire day on me.” When I wore this, I received so many compliments. Thought it would be perfect for the summer, but I still use it now because I adore the scent. I’ll undoubtedly purchase again. Tempted to spend the winter on the Soleil Neige.

While many people claim that this scent lasts for a long time, others claim that it is not the case. One disgruntled customer remarked, “I have got two Tom Ford perfumes and I am absolutely blown away how little the smell lasts on both of them, a maximum of 20 minutes, absolutely ridiculous for the price.”

The discovery set’s only flaw was that the bottles are a sample size, which was the only criticism. One person speculated that the bottles would be bigger. Although this was given as a gift, the recipient ended up choosing a full-size of their favorite from the selection because it was a good one.

With a 30-day trial of Prime Video, those who want to catch up on Molly-Mae: Behind It All can stream it for free. The new episodes follow Molly-Mae as she navigates the difficulties of motherhood in the public eye while raising her Maebe business.

After their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, relinquish their official titles in response to yet another devastating incident in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, Sister Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice must now navigate a brand-new reality.

Thoughts have turned to his daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice as Prince Andrew’s most recent bombshell announcement shocked the Royal Family.

Even after their controversial father loses his job, the princesses will still be able to keep their titles as parents. Prince Andrew was christened Duke of York after his 1986 union with Sarah Ferguson, a title that Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved father, King George VI, held prior to his coronation.

Now, Andrew, 65, will relinquish his titles and honours as his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein continues to cast a shadow over the royal family. This decision comes mere days before the posthumous publication of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, which makes reference to her alleged meeting with Andrew.

Prince Andrew stated in a statement from yesterday (Friday, October 18) that “we have concluded that the ongoing accusations against me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.” I’ve made the decision to prioritize my duty to my family and country as I always have. Five years ago, I made the decision to leave the public.

We now feel like I must proceed one step further with His Majesty’s consent. I’ll no longer use my title or the honors that have been mys. I vehemently refute the accusations I have been accused of making.

While Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 35, will reportedly not be affected by Andrew’s latest move, they will also still be welcome at the Royal Family’s Christmas celebrations. However, the road ahead will likely be a difficult one for the York sisters, whom former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond argues must believe wholeheartedly in their father’s innocence.

Jennie exclusively told the Mirror: “Whatever else you might think about Andrew and Sarah, they are brilliant parents and have brought up two very decent young women. They will remain Princesses and be welcome at events with the rest of the Royal Family, such as Christmas at Sandringham.

They have, however, maintained their loyalty to their parents throughout the entire process. They’ll be there for Andrew and Sarah through this most recent crisis, just as they’ve done in the past. They must believe the innocence protests of their fathers. They couldn’t possibly live with themselves, surely.

Sarah, the princesses’ mother, who divorced Andrew in 1996, will now also renounce her titles.

The 66-year-old mother of two was dropped by a number of charities after receiving a 2011 email from Epstein after he was found guilty of prostitution in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution. The then Duchess apologized in public for criticizing the sex offender and made the claim that she was “supreme friend” in this exchange.
