It’s been a rough few months for members of Britain’s royal family as they have been trying to navigate operating in a new slimmed-down monarchy with two key working royals out of commission.
In January, it was revealed that King Charles and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) were both hospitalized. After the monarch had a routine procedure for an enlarged prostate, the Palace announced that tests determined the king had cancer and was undergoing treatment. Meanwhile, concerns were growing and there was speculation about his daughter-in-law’s health following her abdominal surgery and lengthy recovery time.
In March, Kate revealed her own cancer diagnosis and that she, too, was undergoing treatment. With two top working royals needing to take a break and shelf their engagements, other working members of the royal family have had to ramp up their duties. That includes Prince Edward and his wife Sophie,...

Lady Louise Windsor is likely to never know life as a working royal. An expert says it’s “doubtful” the 20-year-old daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, will ever formally represent the monarchy. Instead, she’s poised to take after one of her non-working royal cousins. Why? The “most common complaint” about the British royal family: cost.
The ‘cost too much’ complaint is expected to keep Louise from working royal life
According to royal expert Jennie Bond, Louise isn’t on her way to becoming a working royal. Yes, even in light of King Charles III and Kate Middleton being diagnosed with cancer.
The reason, she told Ok! Magazine, is the “most common complaint” about the royal family, how much they cost taxpayers.

British royal family news shows that Meghan Markle’s brother Thomas Jr. has as much use for her as she does for him. He’s released a brutal YouTube video in which he pretends to be Meghan, a woman who told Oprah Winfrey that she is an “only child.”
Thomas’ 90 minute video shows him in a wig and tiara as he says “My name’s Me-again Swamp-donkey Crotch” and to be clear those are his words not ours.
With a pillow under his shirt as he exclaimed “I was just showing off the new bump I bought used on eBay out of Montecito.” Reaction to the video was mixed with one poster writing “Good for him! And it shows exactly what class of people Meg comes from.”

Kate Middleton and Prince William are focusing on family time after the former’s cancer diagnosis announcement. One thing they’re not doing, per a commentator, is discussing it with Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte. The Prince and Princess of Wales have likely “blank[ed] out” talk of Kate’s diagnosis with their children.

While the kids are on a break from school, William, Kate and their three children are on a little getaway. The family of five is staying at Anmer Hall, their country home in Norfolk, England.

It seems April 2024 isn’t off to a good start for Princess Beatrice ever since Netflix’s Scoop premiered. The 35-year-old British royal is portrayed—very briefly—in the film about her father, Prince Andrew’s 2019 Newsnight interview regarding his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to an expert, Beatrice is likely “annoyed and upset” she’s depicted in the film.
Beatrice will be ‘dreading’ the ‘difficult time ahead’ amid her portrayal in ‘Scoop’
Scoop debuted on April 5, 2024. With it came a depiction of Beatrice as her father, Andrew, played by Rufus Sewell, and his team negotiated with BBC Newsnight’s Sam McAlister (Billie Piper) and Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson).
The interview aired in November 2019. It resulted in Andrew losing his Hrh [His Royal Highness] status and being removed from the list of working royals.
Charity Wakefield plays Beatrice in Scoop, who’s seen in one scene attending a Buckingham Palace meeting.

King Charles and Kate Middleton are both going through cancer treatment. The king and his daughter-in-law have always been close, and it seems Charles has always respected Kate. Of course, the two share a different kind of bond now, and Charles has been supportive of Kate since she revealed her diagnosis in March 2024.
Shortly after Kate’s revelation video, Charles released a statement about the princess — and two words stick out as showing the true relationship between the two royals.

Back in January 2024, the Princess of Wales’ team revealed that she was undergoing planned abdominal surgery and would be out of royal duties for about two months. However, conspiracy theories began swirling, which ultimately led Kate to have to make a statement herself.

Members of the royal family stepped out for the annual Easter Sunday service at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. King Charles made the appearance with his wife (formerly Camilla Parker Bowles) as well as his siblings, marking the monarch’s first public return to royal duties while undergoing cancer treatment.
In the absence of Prince William, who remained at home with the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) and their children while the princess continues her recovery and her own cancer treatment, King Charles being there was a significant move. As a royal expert explained in doing so the family didn’t have a repeat of the last royal event in which the king and his oldest son were not there and the monarchy garnered some unwanted headlines.
Here’s more on that and what King Charles did to reaffirm he’s still the head of the family.

In Kate Middleton’s corner isn’t just Prince William, the Middleton family, and close friends. As the Princess of Wales undergoes “preventative chemotherapy” after test results from a January 2024 surgery found “cancer had been present,” the 42-year-old also has Queen Camilla to turn to for support. Ahead, how Camilla’s “approach” to the health crisis — and that of King Charles III, who’s also being treated for cancer — is a “positive comfort.”

Camilla’s “inner strength” from years as an “outsider” has made her a “great support” for Kate, Ingrid Seward, Majesty magazine editor-in-chief and royal author, told the Mirror.

There are reports circulating that Meghan Markle has offered an olive branch to the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) as she continues to recover from abdominal surgery. Because these are unconfirmed reports and may just be a way of generating some positive PR for Harry’s wife during a time when people can’t stop talking about Kate, many royal watchers are taking the news with a grain of salt.
However, one royal expert says that even if the reports are true, the princess is not interested in reconciling or accepting any sort of olive branch from the duchess. Read on to find out why.

The rumors only intensified after Kensington Palace shared Middleton’s first post-surgery image, which was later revealed to be edited.

When King Charles III decided to roll out his new “slimmed-down monarchy,” he probably didn’t envision two top working royals not being able to attend any public events for an extended period of time. But that’s exactly what happened when it was announced that the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) needed a lengthy recovery time following abdominal surgery and the king himself was diagnosed with cancer.
This left Prince William and a few other family members stretched pretty thin as some of them have been doing multiple engagements a day. The Prince of Wales also needs to block out all the noise and wild conspiracy theories circulating about his wife’s absence from royal duties while carrying on his own.

Remember Omid Scobie’s Endgame book, the royal commentator and author’s latest title that hit shelves in November 2023? The one the British royal family is said to have considered taking legal action against when it named names? Well, the allegations in the book reportedly prompted Kate Middleton to call Meghan Markle and “clear the air.”

Before speculation surrounding the Princess of Wales’ surgery or King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis, the biggest thing happening in the world of the royal family, at least in late 2023, was Endgame.

The Duchess of Sussex hasn’t been back in England since 2022 and when Harry told Good Morning America that he had more trips planned to go back home, he didn’t specify if Meghan would be with him or not.
But when and if the former Suits star does return, many members of Harry’s family likely won’t be welcoming her with open arms. And because of that, a royal commentator is claiming only three royals will agree to see Meghan when she’s in town.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry had always had a good relationship. But when it came to running the monarchy, the queen took her royal duties seriously — and expected that everyone else would, too. While the queen was always supportive of Harry’s relationship with Meghan, there were rumors that it was her decision to tell the Sussexes that they could not be part-time royals.
Of course, it led to Harry and Meghan stepping back entirely from their royal roles. The couple moved to California and have only returned on a handful of occasions since their departure. But one royal expert says the queen’s decision to ban Harry and Meghan from royal duties was “too harsh.”

As everyone knows the weather can be unpredictable. And as every woman knows a gust of wind can blow through at any time including when you happen to be wearing a skirt, which could make for an embarassing Marilyn Monroe-esque moment.
Well that has happened to the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) on a few occasions in the past. And it’s the reason why she reportedly wears a lot of clothes now that actually increase static so it’s much harder for her dresses to fly up. But one instance before she adopted that fashion hack took place during a royal wedding where there were plenty of cameras on her. Thankfully she had Prince Edward’s wife Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (formerly the Countess of Wessex) by her side to help out at that moment.

The British royal family’s latest health crisis — King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis — could be a “blessing in disguise.” A royal commentator says in a roundabout way it could reunite the king, 75, with his youngest son, Prince Harry, and usher in a “reconciliation.”
King Charles cancer diagnosis could prompt Harry ‘reconcilation’
According to Jennie Bond, a royal expert, although the king’s cancer diagnosis is a “setback” and certianly a “shocking start” to 2024 for the royal family, it could also be a turning point.
“This is a pretty shocking start to the new year for the whole of the royal family. And now Harry coming back,” she told the U.K.’s Sky News (via Express).

According to Jennie Bond, a royal expert, although the king’s cancer diagnosis is a “setback” and certianly a “shocking start” to 2024 for the royal family, it could also be a turning point.
“This is a pretty shocking start to the new year for the whole of the royal family. And now Harry coming back,” she told the U.K.’s Sky News (via Express).
Harry left his and Meghan Markle’s home in Montecito, California, in the hours after the king’s cancer diagnosis went public to travel to London, England.

The news was heard around the world. On Feb. 5, Buckingham Palace announced that the United Kingdom’s King Charles has cancer. Few details have been provided by the royal family, an institution that has been known to keep every piece of information as far under wraps as possible.
Now, Prince Harry has touched down in the U.K. to visit his father amid the news of his diagnosis. Rumor has it Charles spoke with Harry privately before the announcement went public. And while the diagnosis could bring the family together, it might not be so easy.

Prince William and Prince Harry have a challenging road ahead if they ever hope to reconcile. According to an author, it has to do with Kate Middleton. More specifically, the Duke of Sussex’s “veiled criticisms” of his sister-in-law in Spare. They’re the “tougher obstacle” the brothers will have to overcome and revive what’s left of the relationship.
‘Private’ William was ‘really hurt’ by Harry sharing ‘secrets, stories, and conversations’ in ‘Spare’
Harry didn’t hold back in Spare, even receiving criticism for oversharing when the memoir debuted in January 2023. However, it was his openness that “really hurt” Harry’s older brother, the Prince of Wales, according to royal biographer Robert Hardman.
Speaking on the Jan. 19, 2024, episode of Hello!’s “A Right Royal Podcast,” The Making of a King author shared that unlike their father, King Charles III, William’s not open to a reconciliation with Harry. And,...

It’s likely a tough time at the Wales house amid Kate Middleton’s abdominal surgery, according to a royal expert. The Princess of Wales’s husband, Prince William, and their three children are all likely experiencing a mixture of emotions ranging from stress to confusion. But the Prince of Wales is “perfectly placed to help” their kids through this.
Kate’s recovering in the hospital after abdominal surgery
The Princess of Wales is taking an extended break from royal duties after being admitted to the hospital for a “planned” abdominal surgery.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family back in 2020, and the couple has only returned on a handful of important occasions. However, things between Harry and his father, King Charles, have never quite been the same. The father and son are reportedly working on things, but Harry and Meghan still seem to be a long way away from patching things up for good.
But a recent move by the royal family was seen by some as a dig toward the Sussexes but might actually have given the family a little hope that things will heal themselves.

After stepping down as working royals in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to America. Once they settled in the U.S., the Sussexes fired a barrage of verbal grenades at Harry’s relatives during TV interviews, podcasts, their Netflix docuseries, and Harry’s memoir Spare.
Meanwhile, the Palace left most of the accusations against the royals go unchallenged by sticking to the family’s “dignified silence” strategy. But now Prince Harry’s stepmother Queen Camilla (formerly Camilla Parker Bowles), who was attacked in the duke’s book, has launched a new project that an expert says is the “perfect revenge” for her.

Happy birthday, Kate Middleton! The Princess of Wales is 42 as of Jan. 9, 2024. While British royals are known to celebrate privately, Kate’s reportedly in for a treat courtesy of her husband, Prince William. The Prince of Wales is said to “spoil” Kate “rotten” on her birthday because of a particularly “rough” 2023. Cringeworthy anecdotes about Kate in Spare and, more recently, the supposed “royal racists” reveal were among the year’s hitches. So, how is William spoiling Kate on her birthday as she turns 42? A commentator says Kate’s birthday is likely to include cooking and some “romance.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton first met when Kate was hardly just an adult. The now-Princess of Wales was only 18 when she first crossed paths with the future king at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. William and Kate have been linked since they were about 20, and William apparently made a promise to Kate’s parents when he eventually married his future queen.
However, recent rumors and attacks on Kate have William reportedly feeling like he’s broken that promise, leaving him with guilt and anger, according to one royal expert.

Why didn’t Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton get along? An expert believes it came down to “culture and life experience” for the Duchess of Sussex and Princess of Wales. Throw in the British royal family “hierarchy,” and things were poised to be “difficult” between “superior” Kate and “junior” Meghan.
Meghan met Kate after being introduced to Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, and Prince William
Kate was the last of Prince Harry’s close family members to meet Meghan. As the Duke of Sussex, 39, described in his January 2023 Spare memoir, the two met over dinner at Nottingham Cottage.
However, it wasn’t just Kate and Meghan getting to know each other over a meal. Also there were Harry and his brother, Prince William.

A few members of the royal family had their names dragged through the mud when a book titled Endgame hit the shelves in November 2023. The author is Omid Scobie who has often been referred to as Meghan Markle’s “mouthpiece.” Even though he denies that many royal watchers still believe he got his information for the book from Prince Harry’s wife.
Scobie discussed the subject of race in Endgame. First, he took aim at Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh describing her as “casually bigoted.” And in the Dutch version of the book alleged that the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) was one of the royals who questioned the Sussexes’ son Archie’s skin color before he was born. Now, a PR expert says the princess is using Queen Elizabeth II’s trick to cope with those negative headlines.

Images of Christmas for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis may, for some, bring to mind stacks of presents. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children. The young British royals, who are 10, 8, and 5, respectively, are believed to be involved in a less-is-more kind of situation come Christmastime.
Yet that doesn’t mean the Prince and Princess of Wales don’t splash out on a pricey gift here and there. Ahead, the type of Christmas presents George, Charlotte, and Louis are likely to open. Plus, why a commentator thinks William and Kate are conscious not to lavish George, Charlotte, and Louis with gifts during the holidays.

The British royal family is headed by the monarch, King Charles III. But the “power behind the throne” is someone else. According to a commentator, there’s another royal whom “a lot of the members of the family look to.” And that person is — drumroll, please — none other than Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
Kate’s a ‘key player’ in the royal family, ‘always front and center’
Kate doesn’t hold her own place in the line of succession. Her husband, Prince William, and their children are in line for the throne. Nevertheless, she’s still a future queen with a prominent place in the Firm.

Scobie has also been referred to as Meghan’s “mouthpiece” in the past. Even though he denies it, many royal watchers still believe he got his content for Endgame from Meghan.

She brought her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, to the UK’s Baby Bank.

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles in the royal family no one was prepared for the barrage of verbal grenades and attacks that the Sussexes were going to unleash on the prince’s relatives.
After everything that the duke and duchess revealed in interviews, their Netflix docuseries, and Harry’s memoir Spare it’s no surprise that relations between them and other members of the family have worsened and become non-existent. Harry though is the son of the king, brother to the future monarch, and has a place in the line of succession so a reconciliation with the royals may happen one day. But at least one commentator says when and if that occurs, Meghan will not be welcomed back into the royal circle.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have been married for more than a dozen years. Kate, who was raised a commoner, certainly had no idea what it meant to be a royal until she was in the thick of it with her husband. As a commoner who is preparing to step into the role of queen someday, her husband can’t exactly related to the trials that might come with such an important supporting role. Plus, he’s focused on his own preparation to become king.
As a result, Kate is turning to one surprising royal who has become her confidante in recent years.

William and his sibling played it cordial during Meghan and Harry’s final engagement in 2020 and exchanged pleasantries before the church service.

King Charles and Kate Middleton have always had a close relationship. Kate came into Charles’ life after she started dating Prince William in the early 2000s. She’s been with William ever since (with the exception of a couple of brief breakups), so she and Charles have had plenty of time to get to know each other.
Charles has publicly admired his daughter in law, even calling her out during his recent Kenya trip. And it turns out there is something about Kate that Charles loves — and that other royals don’t have.

The royal rift between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the rest of the family has continued to make headlines in recent years. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been living in California since 2020, and they have hardly returned to the UK. Harry and Meghan hardly speak to Prince William and Kate Middleton, and it doesn’t look like things between the two couples will be cleared up any time soon.
Now, though, one member of Kate’s family has been warned not to “widen” the royal rift, as it could wind up making things much worse.

When King Charles took the throne following Queen Elizabeth II’s death in 2022, it was immediately made clear that the king would favor a “slimmed-down” monarchy — one in which there were fewer working royals. He certainly got his wish, considering Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family several years before Charles even took the throne.
Plus, with Prince Andrew removed from his royal duties, the monarchy keeps getting smaller. But what happens when Charles dies? With so few people currently in the working royal position, Prince William and Kate Middleton will need others to step in when they become king and queen — and that might be where Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie come in.
