The doctored photo shared by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales—in the wake of her alleged abdominal surgery—has ignited significant controversy across various online platforms. However, the conspiracies swirling around the Princess and her health were brewing long before the emergence of this infamous photograph. What is it that prompts such intense scrutiny and fuels the spread of conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess? Moreover, why are royalists, the apathetic and anti-imperialists all equally captivated by the media frenzy surrounding Kate?

"William would be upset that Harry yet again has chosen to make this visit to see his father a PR opportunity," Seward added. "As far as William is concerned, he has absolutely no interest in speaking to Harry until Harry behaves like a gentleman and apologizes for the years of rudeness and slurs he has aimed at William and the Princess of Wales."T

Prince Harry has flown back to the United Kingdom to see his father, according to media reports, after the shock announcement on Monday from Buckingham Palace that King Charles III has cancer. Harry, who arrived in London Tuesday from California, has been involved in a long-running, public falling out with his family in the years since he and wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, stepped back from royal duties, though the duke did make a brief visit to the UK for Charles’ coronation last year.

Just months after it was first announced back in June that Princess Diana’s iconic black sheep sweater would soon hit the auction block, the sale is now finally complete. On Thursday, the historic knit sold for $1.143 million at Sotheby’s Fashion Icons auction during New York Fashion Week, setting the record for the highest price ever paid for an item worn by the late princess.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly on a ‘trial separation’ amid nasty fights, financial pressure, and opposing lifestyles. Divorce papers might have been filed. The scoop about their non-identity damaging their marriage: VIDEO AT LINK............. As some reports indicate, Meghan allegedly plans to file for divorce and wants sole and full custody of the children. However, that might not be so simple. According to reports, the royal family operates with a strange custody agreement when its couples have their children, which states that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has full legal custody over the young royals.

Oops! Did Someone Forget to Save a Seat for Jill Biden at King Charles' Coronation? Well, well, well, looks like First Lady Jill Biden had a bit of a giggle-inducing seating arrangement at King Charles' coronation on May 6. While her hubby, President Joe Biden, couldn't make it for reasons unknown, Jill headed to Westminster Abbey to witness the royal affair. However, it seems like the organizers weren't exactly rolling out the red carpet for her as they stuck her all the way in the back. Oh boy, you can just feel the love and respect pouring in, can't you?...

Henry VIII, who ruled England from 1509 until his death in 1547, was known for his voracious appetite. Portraits of Henry show a man almost as wide as he was tall. When he wasn't marrying, divorcing, or beheading his wives (he was on his sixth marriage when he died at age 58), this medieval ruler dined like a glutton. He enjoyed banquets so much that he extended the kitchen of Hampton Court Palace to fill 55 rooms. The 200 members of the kitchen staff provided meals of up to 14 courses for the 600 people in the king's court. Here...

King Charles of the United Kingdom made the decision to be known as Charles III, and I hope he remembers that Charles I was beheaded in 1649, the only British sovereign to be executed. Charles I was a tyrant who believed in “the divine right of kings,” meaning to oppose him was to oppose God. The English Parliament did not see it that way, and a bloody civil war began ending with the beheading of Charles. Charles III will not suffer such a demeaning and disastrous fate, but his reign will be a debacle for Britain.

King Charles III will surprise us. The man whose family has served as the physical symbols of colonialism has spent his life trying to free his mind from the calcified prejudices of empire. Britain’s new head of state is a loud admirer of Islam, a critic of Western interventionism and a champion of multiculturalism who will win his country new friends — and some populist enemies — across the world. The new king has for decades sought to free himself from what he calls “Western materialism” by immersing himself in the world’s second-largest faith. As the Prince of Wales, he...

I flew home to England from New York for Her Majesty the Queen’s funeral on Saturday. It was a snap decision, but after missing her historic Platinum Jubilee only months ago, I decided that I couldn’t possibly miss the funeral of the only Queen I’ve ever known. I arrived in London Gatwick and first made my way to Brighton before later planning to journey to London. I had an appointment at the Palace of Westminster to see the Queen lying in state in Westminster Hall that afternoon.

During The Queen's reign, she has tried to maintain the commonwealth by speaking with various leaders from different countries

King Charles ‘told’ Prince Harry not to bring wife Meghan Markle to Balmoral Castle as he and other senior royals rushed to the beside of the dying Queen, it was reported last night. Amid the personal family tragedy on Thursday, when the Queen died at the age of 96, a small domestic drama was playing out involving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex

On Thursday, BBC News presenters wore black suits and ties as they announced the latest information on the health of the Queen – though much of what is still being reported remains vague, as no additional information has been provided by the Palace at this time. The BBC’s online graphics also switched from red to black, suggesting the possibility that Britain’s public service broadcaster has already been informed of the Queen’s passing.

At first glance, it would have looked like any other 1970s-era backyard gathering — people sitting back on webbed lawn chairs, sipping drinks, enjoying a slice of coffee cake and taking in the heat of Manitoba in July. But that would be a royal oversight. Sitting in those thrones of summer 52 years ago, on the lawn of a Prairie potato farmer, was England's most prestigious family. And as Queen Elizabeth celebrates her Platinum Jubilee this year, at age 96, memories and photos of that rare visit are being resurfaced by a retired Manitoba teacher whose family played host. "It...

Prince Andrew would 'shout and scream' if his teddy bear collection was knocked out of place by palace maids, a former royalty protection officer has claimed. Former bodyguard Paul Page made the revelation during an interview with Ranvir Singh for the upcoming ITV documentary, Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile. The former constable, who left the Metropolitan Police in 2007, was part of the elite Royal Protection Squad and had access to the Duke of York's private residence. He claimed that Andrew had a bed with '50 or 60' stuffed toys and maids were given a laminated picture so each...

MEGHAN Markle will be "furious" if her estranged father publicly humiliates her by taking her to court for the right to see his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, a relationship expert has claimed. ...The Duchess' father, 77, is threatening to sue his daughter and son-in-law, whom he has yet to meet, for the right to meet his grandchildren. Speaking at his home in Rosarito, he told Fox News: “I will be petitioning the California courts for the right to see my grandchildren in the very near future." Reports have suggested such action could be the “final nail in the coffin” for...

The truth comes out. Prince Harry responded to rumors he’s releasing another book after the Queen’s death. The Duke of Sussex confirmed in July that he’s publishing a tell-all with Penguin Random House in late 2022. “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become,” he said in a statement. “I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story — the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned — I can help show that no matter where we come from,...

Prince Harry has written an explosive memoir about his life in the royal family which will hit the shelves next year, it has been revealed. The Duke of Sussex, 36, has been secretly working on the book for nearly a year which he has since sold to Penguin Random House. Prince Harry has been working with Pulitzer-winning ghostwriter J. R. Moehringer in what is the first time a senior royal has ever written such a book. The first draft of the manuscript, currently untitled, is said to be almost completely written with the deadline in October. The proceeds of the...

...The Telegraph understands that the Queen was “told” about the name after the baby was born last Friday, rather than her permission being sought in advance. It suggests that if the Duke and Duchess chose the name to curry favour with the Queen and the wider Royal family, the tactic has backfired badly... Although there is little formal protocol around choosing baby names, particularly with great-grandchildren of the monarch, royal sources suggested there was a difference between the couple choosing to name their daughter Elizabeth, in tribute to the Queen, and using her pet name, which had only been used...

Britain’s royal family is likely in its “end game” — and will probably not “outlast” Prince William’s eventual reign as king, according to an award-winning UK author and dame. “I think it’s the end game. I don’t know how much longer the institution will go on,” Dame Hilary Mantel told the Telegraph. “I’m not sure if it will outlast William. So I think it will be their last big era,” predicted the “Wolf Hall” author, who was awarded the Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2006 and then made a dame by Prince Charles in...
