Meghan Markle posted a Father’s Day tribute to Prince Harry with never-before-seen footage of him with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – and one royal expert says the post is very telling

Prince Harry’s Father’s Day tribute from Meghan Markle shows he “doesn’t have it all” despite the song it is set to, according to a royal expert. Meghan posted a video to Instagram showing Harry alongside Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, set to the song Have It All by Jason Mraz.

The compilation showed photos and videos of Harry laughing, dancing and spending quality time with his children through the years. Meghan captioned the post: “The best. Happy Father’s Day to our favourite guy.” The post came hours after Harry’s estranged brother Prince William was also seen in a new picture with his children in a post on the official Prince and Princess of Wales social media accounts.

Kensington Palace said the photographs were taken by professional photographer Josh Shinner in Norfolk earlier this year. And according to royal expert and historian Dr Tessa Dunlop, there was a vast gulf between the two posts.

She told the Mirror : “Hail Prince William, the model father. Or rather the model English father, with a before-and-after duo of professional photographs featuring a handsome, upstanding man, beautifully blended with his children; a foursome united in different shades of ‘Norfolk’ green.

“The post dropped early on Father’s Day via Kensington Palace’s Instagram account, giving that other royal family plenty of time to tweak their own paternal efforts for a later LA release.

“In Britain, it was bedtime before we caught a sneaky peak of the Sussexes’ alternative Californian vibe: Harry the hands-on dad – forget formal posing in tweedy greens, this was ‘au naturel’. Well, sort of.

“A hotch-potch of sunbaked vibes, bubble machines and sea-side shots cast to the Jason Mraz track ‘Have it all.’ Except Harry doesn’t have it all.”

The tribute to Harry comes just weeks after he spoke out about his rift with his own father King Charles, and said he would love reconciliation with him.

And Tessa added: “Despite his professed desire to resume relations with his own father the King, the Duke of Sussex remains something of an orphan, stranded on the other side of the Atlantic. A discordant backdrop that cast his otherwise happy little video in a poignant light.

“Poor Harry. These days having it all even means sharing images of his children’s faces, albeit blurry ones taken when they were much younger.

“Such are the compromises celebrities make when no longer protected by the royal coffers. Meghan’s Instagram account is a hungry beast.

“Long gone are the effortless days of a shared fraternal photograph; it was 2017 when William and Harry posted an early photograph with their dear Papa in the Scottish Highlands for Father’s Day.

“It had been declared the holiday snap indicative of the brothers’ close bond, proof that when it comes to the Royal Family, what you see is only ever half the story.”

Tessa Dunlop is the author of the new book Lest We Forget, War and Peace in 100 British Monuments.

Global superstar, Davido, has officially pulled out of 50 Cent’s anticipated concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 3, where he was slated to share the stage with hip-hop heavyweight and R&B legend, Mary J. Blige.

The Afrobeats star broke the news via his Instagram story, stressing that his decision was not due to low ticket sales or lack of support, but rooted in artistic integrity.

“This decision is not a reflection of turnout or support; it is a matter of principle and respect for my craft, my fans, and the culture I represent,” Davido stated.

He explained that while he had fully committed to the event and worked closely with The Necto Future Group, promoters of IconicPresents, there were ongoing issues with the event’s execution.

“Over the past few weeks, I have extended my full support and professionalism to The Necto Future Group, promoters of iconicpresents, with the sincere intention of delivering a performance that meets the high standards my fans deserve,” he wrote.

“Despite strong fan support and impressive ticket sales, there have been major misalignments regarding the event’s execution, particularly concerning key elements required to uphold the integrity and quality of my performance.”

“Unfortunately, these issues remain unresolved. As a result, I regret to inform you that I will no longer be performing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 3rd,” he added.

While the show will proceed without him, Davido reassured fans that the rest of his summer tour would remain unaffected.

Katie Price has been partying in Ibiza with friends, old and new, as she was pictured with controversial MMA fighter Conor McGregor and her long-time pal Ryan Mira

Reality TV star Katie Price has been pictured partying with controversial MMA fighter Conor McGregor. The mum-of-five, who recently sparked fears from fans over her appearance, is currently enjoying the delights of the Spanish island Ibiza with friends, old and new.

The two-time I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star, 47, was all smiles as she partied in O Beach Club with her long-time friend Ryan Mira. Katie showed off her svelte figure in a tiny red bikini top and accessorised with gold chains as she and Ryan posed for a snap with Irish fighter McGregor.

McGregor, who last year lost a civil case where he was accused of raping a woman in 2018, donned a white hat and dark shades for the snap. Ryan captioned the upload on Instagram: “What a day @thenotoriousmma @katieprice [Irish flag emoji].”

Wayne Lineker, who owns O Beach, commented: “What a guy what a girl what a gay.” Katie shared Ryan’s post with her 2.7 million followers on her own Instagram Stories.

Last week, Katie opened up about her most painful surgery experience just days after undergoing yet another cosmetic procedure. At 47, the ex-glamour model is no stranger to the operating table, but she’s vowed never to have surgery in the UK again after a traumatic experience.

The mother-of-five recently flaunted her modified derrière post-filler injections. Yet, Katie confessed that a botched Brazilian butt lift stands as her most agonising and regretted surgery.

Chatting with Katherine Ryan on the ‘What’s My Age Again?’ podcast, Katie detailed her disappointment with the BBL: “I tried that BBL abroad where they take your own fat and put it in your bum. It was so painful. And it just did not look right on me.”

Despite the setback experienced in Turkey, Katie declared her continued preference for overseas cosmetic procedures. “I would never have surgery in England again. Ever, ever,” she stated emphatically, stressing her loyalty to international clinics.

However, despite unveiling her latest body transformation at a Pride event in Portsmouth, Katie’s noticeably slimmer physique and dramatically altered buttocks, which followed her intentional weight loss, sparked concern among fans. They’ve since been vocal online, pleading for her to stop the frequent body modifications.

Katie has undergone a staggering 16 breast augmentations, three nose jobs, and two facelifts among various other cosmetic procedures. Despite some fans expressing worry over her slimming down, Katie opened up on Rob Moore’s Disruptors podcast saying: “Yes I’ve lost weight. Yes that what I’ve wanted to do, I’ve wanted to lose weight.”

She recounted the challenges she faced, including a severe foot injury and IVF treatments, which contributed to her weight gain: “The past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I’d never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair.

“And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn’t me.”

Now back in the saddle and more active, Katie credits her return to an athletic build to increased activity and horse riding: “Now I’ve gone back, now the IVF that’s all come out, and I’m more active because I could do more because of my feet, and I’m horse riding again, then naturally, I’m going back athletic again.”

Romeo Beckham’s ex Kim Turnbull breaks silence on Brooklyn feud and ‘scapegoat’ lies

As the Beckham feud drags on, our showbiz team spotted that Romeo Beckham’s ex-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, broke her silence on social media this afternoon after being dragged into the bitter family drama. Kim, 26, is said to be at the heart of the Beckham fallout in which eldest child Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have become estranged.

Brit dad meant to be in Air India plane crash survivor’s Seat 11A breaks silence

This Monday, our News team covered one British dad’s lucky escape after a last minute flight change saved his life – he was due on the Air India flight 171 this week. The dad has shared his shock and expressed his gratitude after he changed his plans at the very last minute and has spoken of the very bizarre coincidence with his new booking.

Owen Jackson, 31, from Saffron Walden in Essex, had been in India on a work trip and was scheduled to fly back this week but had to decide between flying back on Thursday or Saturday. In the end his colleagues said to take the Saturday flight as the job would take a bit longer than originally planned.

He was then booked onto the same route on Saturday which would have been the same aircraft as the one which crashed, killing all but one of the 242 people onboard. In a bizarre coincidence, Owen was booked onto seat 11A for the Saturday flight – the seat number belonging to the only survivor of flight 171.

Brazen Prince Andrew heads to huge royal event despite King Charles ‘ban’

As Royals gathered for the annual Garter Day this Monday, Prince Andrew was spotted heading to Windsor Castle – despite not being expected to take part in its public procession. The disgraced Duke of York was seen in a shirt and tie driving his car towards the castle for the ancient Order of the Garter ceremony as the Royal Family’s summer season began in earnest.

The day sees those in the order gather for lunch at the castle before a procession takes place through the castle grounds that sees members dressed in white plumed hats and dark blue velvet robes. Andrew is a member of the order alongside King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince William and is believed to be joining the annual lunch and investiture, which takes place behind closed doors.

However, he was not expected to take part in the public procession through the castle grounds – having been banished from it for the past four years. Andrew stepped down from public life after the furore over his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Newcastle United footballer Kieran Trippier has been spotted partying away with Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry in Ibiza amid his ongoing marriage woes with estranged wife Charlotte

Kieran Trippier has been spotted getting close with reality TV star Chloe Ferry amid his marriage woes. The Newcastle United footballer, 34, was seen with his arm wrapped around Geordie Shore’s Chloe, 29, as they partied together in Ibiza.

He married wife Charlotte in 2016 and the two went on to welcome three children. However, their marriage has been hit by scandal that sparked when an infamous night out saw him lifting a blonde woman, who has a distinctive tattoo on her left arm, during a night out with his Newcastle teammates.

Last month, he was spotted with another blonde woman on a night out in the northern city and has now been seen with Chloe. His estranged wife Charlotte, 36, was reportedly sent a video of Kieran with the woman in May.

Now, a photo has shown Kieran with his hand placed on Chloe’s bum as they partied alongside their pals in the Ibiza sun at club Ushuaia. A source said: “Chloe and her friends were introduced to Kieran and his mates and they partied together.

“Kieran was very tactile and put his arm around her when they were together at the club. Chloe is newly single and she was just having some fun.”

“She’s a gorgeous girl so it’s not surprising Kieran was spending time with her,” they added to the Sun, who published photos of the pair. Kieran’s estranged wife Charlotte is said to be getting legal advice over their marriage and is “moving on”.

However, a source told the publication Kieran is “devastated” as they claimed: “He has been desperately trying to get back with her but she’s over him.”

In September last year, Charlotte was spotted without her wedding ring just a week after Kieran was seen without his. It has been reported that she moved 200 miles across the country with her and Kieran’s children to start a new life.

There were signs his marriage was possibly in trouble when Charlotte didn’t show up to support him during the Euros last year. During the summer, reports came out that the couple went on separate holidays, with the football star jetting off to a lavish Turkish resort while his wife went to Greece with her sister.

And adding more weight to speculation that his marriage was in serious trouble, was the fact that the £3.8million family home in Morpeth, Northumberland was up for sale.

Meanwhile, Chloe split from her boyfriend Johnny Wilbo in March after a very rocky romance. The reality star started dating Johnny back in 2021 but they split up the following year after Chloe claimed she’d discovered he’d been messaging “numerous girls” behind her back.

They reunited again last year and appeared to be going strong, but Chloe reportedly told friends it’s “over for good”, despite recent speculation they were engaged.

When the Celebrity Big Brother star claimed she’d caught Johnny cheating in 2022, she told the Mirror she would ‘never’ get back together with him. However, she was then spotted in a passionate kiss during a Spanish holiday for her birthday.

The Mirror has contacted Kieran and Chloe’s representatives for comment.

EXCLUSIVE: Lucien Laviscount has praised his Emily in Paris co-star Lily Collins for the way she’s been ‘doing everything’ as she juggles motherhood with her leading-lady duties

It’s all action – and a bit of fizz – on the Emily in Paris set as Lucien Laviscount gives us the inside scoop on what it’s really like filming the hit Netflix show with new mum Lily Collins. Now in its fourth season, the cast are currently shooting in Rome before heading back to Paris – but according to Lucien, the real star of the show is Lily, who’s juggling motherhood with her leading-lady duties like a total pro.

“She’s doing everything,” he tells us. “She’s got a newborn, she’s doing it all — and she’s doing it with such grace… I’m gonna use the word ‘paza’. I’ve never used the word paza in my life, but she’s got that.”

Lily welcomed her first child, Tove Jane McDowell, on January 31, 2025, via surrogacy with her husband, Charlie McDowell, sharing the good news on Instagram at the time.

Lucien, 32, who plays heartthrob Alfie in the series, says reuniting with the cast has been like no time has passed at all. “It’s so bizarre… life’s been going on for everyone, but it only feels like a couple of weeks,” he says. “We’re getting the scripts through, it’s like, ‘Oh sh*t, this is crazy.’ It’s going off!”

He also had us laughing talking about his Schweppes campaign — a cheeky nod to his Caribbean roots and growing up with ginger beer at his grandma’s. “Schweppes was like the fancy stuff we bring out at Christmas,” he shared, adding with a grin, “It was like a perfect little match, to be honest.”

Filming continues over the summer with plenty of drama ahead – both on screen and off – and Laviscount promises this season is one to watch. “Everyone’s really excited about what’s to come,” he says. “It’s all there to play for, really.” Fizzing with energy, we say!

After months away from filming Emily In Paris, Lily’s return to set was always going to be a welcoming affair. But Netflix star brought the entire set to a standstill as she returned to work with her four month old daughter in tow.

Cradling her in her arms, the 36 year old actress looked the picture of happiness as she was surrounded by her cast mates and crew as they cooed over her baby girl, named Tove. And it looked as though the four month old was also in her element as she playfully smiled and sat comfortable in the arms of various pals of the actress.

The actress was seen dressed in a blue and white floral trouser suit for her role as Emily Cooper for the new series of the show, in photos shared by the Daily Mail.

Waiting in the wings to step in for parent duties in case Lily was to be whisked off to shoot a scene, was her husband and father to her daughter, Charlie McDowell. Standing aside, Charlie placed a muslin cloth over his shoulder in case he needed to take over and comfort his daughter.

The new series of the show is being filmed in Rome instead of Paris as Lily’s character is now creating a new life for herself in the historical city with her on-screen boyfriend Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini.

Back in January, Lily and Charlie welcomed their daughter via surrogate. Sharing her happy news with her 29 million followers, Lily posted: “Welcome to the center [sic] of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again…”

Unfortunately, both Lily and Charlie were criticised by a few people on social media for using the aid of a surrogate to fulfil their dreams of becoming parents, as they claimed they had bought the privilege.

While others likened surrogacy to “human trafficking.” This forced Charlie to publicly address the comments and labelled the comments as “unkind.”

He wrote: “It’s OK to not know why someone might need a surrogate to have a child. It’s OK to not know the motivations of a surrogate regardless of what you assume.”

A month after the birth, Lily took to Instagram once again to share with fans how Valentines Day took on a new meaning for her now that she was a mother. On February 14, she wrote: “I truly can’t imagine feeling more love. Valentine’s Day (and every day) just got a whole lot sweeter.”

Lucien Laviscount is Schweppes’ brand ambassador – starring in two short films, featuring its new purple Tropical Soda, to inspire more of those special social moments with loved ones this summer.
