It’s the time of year when the royals take center stage at one of their calendar’s most significant public events. Trooping the Color is the sovereign’s annual birthday parade. However, a royal insider believes that Kate Middleton is “not well,” and any parade appearance could be “grueling” and “daunting.”
Kate Middleton’s cancer treatments may make any Trooping the Color appearance difficult.
In March 2024, Kate Middleton revealed in a videotaped message she was starting chemotherapy treatments for an undisclosed type of cancer. The disease was revealed during a planned abdominal surgery in January of this year.
Since March, Kate has remained out of the public eye. However, questions have been raised about whether she will make her first public appearance at this high-profile royal family event.
Arthur Edwards, The Sun‘s royal photographer, shared why he feels there’s no rush for Kate to return to the public eye.

Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, appeared together at the Easter Matins Service at Windsor Castle on Easter Sunday in Windsor, England.
The couple divorced in 1996 but have been seen together frequently since Andrew was forced to step back from his royal duties due to his association with the late convicted sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein.
Ferguson and Princess Ann both dressed up in green to match the spring holiday spirit. Ferguson, also known as “Fergie,” was seen holding her brown leather purse while shaking hands with Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence. Princess Ann kept her hair in a black hairband with diamonds on top.
Lawrence sported a red robe and necklace while shaking hands with the Duchess of York.

Princess Anne went viral for blocking Prince Harry’s view at the coronation with her hat. Now, in a new royal biography, an author revealed how the Princess Royal reacted to the headpiece. Ahead, the question Anne asked about the hat she wore to King Charles III’s coronation. Plus, why she sat directly in front of the Duke of Sussex.
Anne wore a meaningful outfit to King Charles III’s coronation
Unlike Kate Middleton’s coronation dress, the Princess Royal’s ensemble reflected her military role in the ceremony. Anne served as Gold Stick in Waiting, a position she’s reportedly held since 1998, dating back to the 1400s when two officers — a Gold and Silver Stick — stayed near the monarch for protection.
Discussing her coronation role ahead of the ceremony, Anne told CBC News: The National she’d agreed to do it, in part, because it made figuring out what to wear easier.

Following Queen Elizabeth II’s death, many wondered what the future of Britain’s royal family would look like. That’s because for years the queen’s oldest son, now-King Charles III, expressed his desire to shake things up and slim down the monarchy.
And just over a year into the new monarch’s reign, we’re seeing that. Now, someone who used to work for King Charles is explaining why the monarchy is going to get even smaller under his former boss.

Royal carpool has Prince William and Kate Middleton coming under fire. After being seen with disgraced Prince Andrew during the royal family’s end-of-summer stay at Balmoral Castle, one commentator says the “appalling misjudgment” could damage the Prince and Princess of Wales’s reputation.

The Duke of York, 63, joined William and Kate on their way to Crathie Kirk on Aug. 27, 2023. The church is a short drive from Balmoral Castle, the late Queen Elizabeth II‘s Scottish residence frequented by royals every summer.
Photographers snapped images of Andrew, a non-working royal due to a 2019 Newsnight interview and connection to Jeffrey Epstein, in the passenger seat with William behind the wheel and Kate in the backseat. Following the service, Kate rode up front with William while Andrew sat in the back.

Say, cheese. The British royal family stands on the Buckingham Palace balcony every year during Trooping the Colour. However, the 2023 parade didn’t produce images of a small yet “loyal group,” according to a body language expert. Instead, royals resembled “factions” in “conflict.”

As a member of the royal family, Camilla Parker Bowles is well-acquainted with the sparkle of tiaras. However, departing from the traditional royal wedding norms, she chose not to sport a tiara when she exchanged vows with King Charles.
In contrast, during her first wedding back in the 70s, Camilla did adorn an exquisite tiara. Here’s a closer look at Camilla’s bridal headpiece and why she opted out of wearing it for her second marriage ceremony.

Queen Elizabeth II made her final appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022. It was reported at the time that given her age and mobility issues, the monarch wasn’t well enough to attend all of the festivities to celebrate her reign. But she delighted fans with not one but two balcony appearances days apart.
The queen’s second appearance on the famous balcony though almost didn’t happen. But her oldest son, then-Prince Charles, thought his mother stepping out to see the adoring crowds was crucial and he was able to convince her to do so with seven little words.

Even before the death of Queen Elizabeth II, there were reports that when Charles became king he was planning to “slim down the monarchy.” King Charles III‘s vision is now a reality that was on display for the whole world to see with a royal family balcony appearance following his coronation ceremony.

There were many questions leading up to King Charles III‘s coronation including if Prince Harry would be there, how the affair would be scaled down compared to the late Queen Elizabeth II‘s, and what kind of reception the public would have to the first coronation in 70 years.
The ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023, with the Duke of Sussex in attendance. It was a much more toned-down event than Charles’ mother’s was and the king’s major fear was a non-issue. Here’s what Charles told his friend ahead of the coronation that turned out to be wrong.

Working royals carry out more than 3,000 engagements annually but none work harder than one family member who doesn’t garner a ton of headlines for it and that’s Princess Anne. Now a former royal employee who worked in the royal household for decades believes that King Charles III‘s “long-suffering” sister may finally be getting the recognition she deserves.
Here’s more on that, plus how Anne puts other members of the Firm to shame with the number of engagements she completes.

One of the questions leading up to King Charles III’s coronation on May 6 was about where Prince Harry would be seated since he is no longer a working royal. It was reported that everything from the duke’s arrival at the ceremony to his seating was “meticulously crafted” to make sure there were no awkward encounters with his father or brother.
Harry was seated in the third row next to the York family but his view was blocked thanks to a “gigantic plume” in his aunt Princess Anne’s hat and apparently, the king knew that would be the case.

King Charles III’s coronation was a major royal family event — one that will go down in history, and one the public hasn’t been a part of since his mother was crowned 70 years earlier. The event was an all-day soiree, with the royal ceremony beginning early in the morning and the party continuing into the wee hours of the night. Plus, Sunday’s coronation concert drew people from all over the map and included headliners like Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.
However, only a few days later, a tragic accident occurred: Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh’s royal motorcade collided with an elderly woman, leaving her in critical condition.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla have officially been crowned. On May 6, the royal family waved to the public from the balcony of the Buckingham Palace following the king's coronation ceremony. Charles and Camilla were joined by many members of the royal family, including Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three kids and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh - Prince Edward and Sophie - and their two children. Prince Harry, however, was noticeably missing from the famous balcony shot.
A tradition initiated by Queen Victoria, the family has stepped onto the palace's balcony after major events since 1851 to greet the public. Though the group is curated for every occasion, the king and queen are typically accompanied by other working royals and their children. Since both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are no longer working members of the royal family, neither had a formal role in the coronation ceremony nor appeared on the balcony afterwards.

The Duke of Sussex has attended the Coronation of his father, King Charles III, in London on Saturday.
Prince Harry took his seat in the Abbey next to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank in the third row of the congregation. He sat behind the King’s sister, the Princess Royal and her husband, Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, and joined in the general pledge of allegiance to the new monarch.
In contrast to his elder brother William, who kneeled in allegiance to their father, Harry was not expected to play any official part in the ceremonial part of the service, nor appear in the official procession nor on the Royal Balcony at Buckingham Palace following the coronation service at Westminster Abbey.

Plans and preparations are underway for King Charles III’s coronation on May 6. Some of the questions surrounding the event were about whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would be attending and who will be featured on the Buckingham Palace balcony with the new monarch. Well both of those questions have been answered as we now know Harry will attend the ceremony without his wife and the working royals will stand on the balcony with the king.
But for a few of those working royals, this appearance will likely mark one of the last times we’ll see them and therefore will be a final curtain call and thank you for their service.

King Charles III’s coronation is fast approaching and it’s still not known whether Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, will attend. But what we do know is we won’t see them on the famous Buckingham Palace balcony with other members of the royal family if they do choose to attend.
It’s been reported that the Sussexes are being banned from the balcony because they are no longer working royals. However, some were left confused by that reason since King Charles is allowing one non-working royal to appear with him and other members of the Firm on the balcony.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have not yet confirmed if they will attend King Charles III’s coronation. Many royal watchers believed that Harry and Meghan’s attendance depended on whether a list of demands they had would be met. This speculation began after the Duke of Sussex said during an interview in January that a lot needed to be discussed and he hoped his family would have those talks with him before he committed to going.
While the king is said too busy to organize a meeting with his youngest son before the event on May 6, another demand the couple reportedly put forth is to be featured with their children on the Buckingham Palace balcony following the coronation ceremony. That demand too has been denied, and now Prince Harry’s biographer believes the Sussexes are “furious” they won’t be included in that big moment.

That demand too has been denied, and now Prince Harry’s biographer believes the Sussexes are “furious” they won’t be included in that big moment.

Prince Louis joining Prince William and Kate Middleton at King Charles III’s coronation would be more than witnessing history in the making and seeing his grandfather crowned. A commentator says attending the ceremony may prevent the Prince and Princess of Wales’s youngest child from someday becoming an “offshoot” of his uncle, Prince Harry.

According to royal commentator Angela Mollard, William and Kate will want to include Louis in the coronation. That way, the four-year-old — who will be five by the time of the ceremony — won’t feel left out.
Furthermore, it plays to William and Kate’s family “brand” of togetherness with their three kids; Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Louis.

A body language expert has called one couple in the British royal family an “oasis of calm.” However, it’s not King Charles III and Camilla Parker Bowles. Instead, it’s the monarch’s youngest sibling, Prince Edward, and his wife, Sophie.

The new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh bring “calm” to the royal family, per body language expert Judi James.
“Calm, jolly, and down-to-earth, Sophie and Edward are like an oasis of calm currently in a royal Firm that is buffeted by dramas,” she said (via Express). “Both Edward and Sophie, and their relationship, seem to ripen with age.”

Instead of the dazzling, gem-encrusted rings commonly seen among the royal family, Princess Anne and her daughter, Zara Tindall, both opted for more modest engagement rings that exude their own individual brilliance.
Lavish engagement rings, like the one worn by Kate Middleton, are not unusual in the ranks of the royal family. While the royals certainly have the means to justify expensive jewelry, Anne and Zara ultimately picked style over luxury. Here’s a closer look at Anne and Zara’s low-key engagement rings.

Princess Anne crossed paths with Timothy Laurence, a Royal Navy commander, during his time on the Royal Yacht Britannia. Although the couple tied the knot in late 1992, they were forced to hold a low-key wedding ceremony in Scotland due to the Church of England’s prohibition on remarriage following divorce.

When we see members of the royal family out and about in public, they’re usually always smiling. However, experts pointed out that many times their body language and demeanor can show something different than being so happy no matter how much they smile.
This was the case when one expert noticed the late Queen Elizabeth II‘s “favorite grandson” was faking smiles in photos with his ex.

Among Queen Elizabeth II’s grandchildren are four granddaughters; Zara Tindall, 41, Princess Beatrice, 34, Princess Eugenie, 32, and Lady Louise Windsor, 19. According to a body language expert, there’s a major “divide” between them thanks to their different “lifestyles.”

Country and city are the two categories the late monarch’s granddaughters fall in, according to body language expert Judi James.
“There is a very large, pronounced divide between the behaviour [sic], styling and body language of the late queen’s granddaughters,” she said (via Express).
Zara and Louise, the expert shared, “appear to have embraced a country lifestyle that includes a shared passion for horses.” Both are “skilled competitors as well as avid race-goers like their late grandmother.”

The storylines in the fifth season of The Crown have provoked much backlash, from scenes showing the former Prince Charles trying to force the Queen’s abdication to others suggesting Prince Philip was unfaithful to the late monarch.
Prominent figures, including Judi Dench, have demanded that the drama carry a disclaimer to make clear that the events of the series aren’t entirely factual. While The Crown actor Jonathan Pryce, has called these reactions to the show “hugely disappointing”, claiming that viewers know it’s a drama, not a documentary.
Some of the storylines in season five are pretty close to the truth. Others, not so much.

Among the many controversies that gripped the British Royal Family during the 1990s was one that would only come to light almost two decades later, when Prince Andrew’s friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell (who was convicted of sex trafficking last December) was eventually exposed in the press.
The scandal, which metastasized after Prince Andrew was sued in a civil court for sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims, destroyed his public standing. His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, stripped him of his many patronages and military titles before she died and, despite denying any wrongdoing and ultimately settling with Giuffre, Andrew is still effectively banished from public life.
But for James Murray, who plays Prince Andrew in Season 5 of “The Crown,” there was no apprehension about stepping into the disgraced royal’s buffed shoes. “My thoughts were, ‘Great, fantastic,’” Murray tells Variety.

Former Olympic medalist Sebastian Coe, who was responsible for organising the 2012 Olympics in London, including the Queen’s unforgettable sketch with Daniel Craig, which opened the ceremony, said in an interview with BBC News that “a whole heap of people still believe she did jump from the helicopter,” reports ‘Variety’.
“It was an extraordinary moment because it was the only day throughout the seven-year period of [organising] the Games when I did genuinely feel the glow wobbling,” Coe recalled in his interview with Huw Edwards on Monday morning.
“[The maker of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’] Danny Boyle, who was our director, came in and said, ‘We’ve done some market research and it shows the Queen and James Bond in that order are the iconic global figures [for Britain].’ And I was buying it right up to that moment until he said, ‘Wouldn’t it be a great idea if we could get them to jump out of a helicopter together?...

Queen Elizabeth II’s State Funeral: World Tunes In to Say Goodbye to U.K.’s Longest-Reigning Monarch
Click here to read the full article.
The state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II — likely to be one of the most watched events in history and an occasion that was carried out with intricate, military precision throughout — has come to an end.
The conclusion of a grand spectacle, the likes of which the U.K. is unlikely to put on again for a very long time, saw the queen’s coffin lowered into the royal vault beneath St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where King George III, IV and V, William IV and others also lie. Last year, Prince Philip, the queen’s husband, was laid to rest there. Later on in the evening of Sep. 19, the royal family announced that the queen had been buried “together with the Duke of Edinburgh at The King George VI Memorial Chapel” in a private funeral service, away from the cameras.

Queen Elizabeth II‘s body has left Buckingham Palace for the last time. Mourners came out in droves on Wednesday to see the historic procession of the late British monarch as her coffin travelled from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.
Somberly walking behind Her Majesty’s casket was her son, King Charles III, and two grandsons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
Other royals included in the procession were Elizabeth’s other children, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward. Both Harry and Andrew were not wearing their military uniforms as both have stepped down as senior members of the royal family in recent years.
On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex released a statement to royal reporters about Harry’s reaction to not being allowed to wear his uniform despite his decade of service.

Queen Elizabeth II is dead at age 96 after serving the United Kingdom and Commonwealth as Sovereign for 70 years.
The British monarch and Head of State was placed under medical supervision starting September 8, Buckingham Palace confirmed.
“Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended that she remain under medical supervision,” the palace said in a statement. The Queen was not hospitalized at the time and remained at her Scottish Highlands estate, Balmoral Castle.
The queen reportedly looked “frail” after meeting with incoming British Prime Minister Liz Truss on September 5. Truss took to Twitter to share her concern over the queen’s health following their meeting.
“The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime,” Truss tweeted. “My thoughts — and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom — are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time.

The June 2 reenactment of royal tradition “The Balcony Wave” will have some prominent cast members missing.
“After careful consideration, the Queen has decided this year’s traditional Trooping the Colour balcony appearance on Thursday, 2 June, will be limited to Her Majesty, and those members of the royal family who are currently undertaking official public duties on behalf of the Queen,” according to a palace statement.
That means no Prince Andrew, no Harry, no Meghan Markle, as all are no longer considered “working” royals.
The traditional balcony appearance by the royals is part of the opening celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next month, celebrating her 70 years of service. Speculation about who would be joining the 96-year-old monarch swirled, as Andrew (legal problems) and Harry/Meghan (family problems) are no longer making appearances on behalf of the Queen.
Whether the Queen herself will be on the balcony is an open question.

On Nov. 8, the royal family came together for the annual Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London. With many of the royal family's public events canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, Remembrance Sunday marks the first time we've seen the queen and the other members together since the Commonwealth Day service in March. Held on the second Sunday of November each year, Remembrance Sunday is a time for people to honor those who have suffered and died at war.
For the first time in history, the service itself took place behind closed doors this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the royal family still took part in the two minutes of silence followed by wreath-laying at the foot of the Cenotaph - an annual tradition that this year was closed to the public and rather broadcast live, with people encouraged to take part in the two-minute silence at home.

The next generation of royals are stealing the spotlight in season three of The Crown, and that's thanks in large part to their love lives being every bit as dramatic as an episode of Days of Our Lives. The sudsy storyline involving Princess Anne and Camilla Parker Boyle's love triangle is all too real. It seems that both Princess Anne and Camilla were involved with the British Army Officer Andrew Parker Boyle in the '70s - and poor Prince Charles ended up being roped into the drama as well when he fell for Camilla.
Royal biographer Penny Junor detailed the tangled love lives of the young royals at the Henley Literary Festival, per Harper's Bazaar. "Camilla was passionately in love with Andrew but he was a cad, he was bonking other people, some of her friends," she reportedly said. It seems his dalliances extended to Princess Anne, who was...

Once again, Princess Anne has topped the list of hardest-working royals, packing in more engagements in 2018 than any other member of the House of Windsor. We've come to expect a jam-packed schedule and no-nonsense approach from Anne, only daughter of the queen and Prince Philip, who over the past years has helped to modernize the monarchy and win it newfound respect.
It's perhaps not surprising that Anne, born in London in 1950, is so committed to her royal role, as she started public engagements at a very young age with a full regal diary of her own by the time she turned 21.

It's perhaps not surprising that Anne, born in London in 1950, is so committed to her royal role, as she started public engagements at a very young age with a full regal diary of her own by the time she turned 21. Since then, she's expanded her agenda over and over again and is well-known for her passion for some really important charities including Save the Children.

Anne, Princess Royal, might not be next in line for the throne, but as the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, she has a lot to fill her time with - mainly her ever-expanding family.
Born on Aug. 15, 1950 (she just celebrated her 69th birthday), Princess Anne, whose full name is Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise, was the second child for Her Majesty and husband Prince Philip (after Prince Charles), but once her younger brothers Prince Andrew and Prince Edward came along, she was quickly bumped down the line to inherit the throne.
Despite being pushed out of the direct line of succession by her two younger brothers and their children because she was female, the royal has made a serious name for herself and kept herself in both the public eye and lived a semi-private life over the past six decades.

You probably already know that the royal family calls some pretty insane pads home, but where exactly does the hardest working royal return to in between her travels? The queen's only daughter, Princess Anne, clocked in up to 455 appearances at charity events, dinners, receptions, and other engagements throughout the UK in 2018 (as well as another 85 events overseas)‚ so it's hard to imagine she has any time to relax. Though the Princess Royal does maintain a London residence at St. James's Palace, she and her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, spend most of their time at Gatcombe Park, their private country home in Gloucestershire.
Gatcombe is located in the heart of the Cotswolds between the villages of Minchinhampton and Avening, just a few miles away from Highgrove, the home her brother Prince Charles shares with Camilla in nearby Tetbury. The home was originally built for local clothier Edward Sheppard and was completed...

Divorce is a fact of life. Sometimes, marriages just don't work out, and in modern times, couples are generally able to split when they realize that, to pursue happiness elsewhere. But if you're a member of the royal family, it's a little more complicated than that. Royal divorces often present their own set of challenges, both in terms of royal precedence and tension between the church and civil decisions.
To begin with, royal divorce is a pretty new thing. When Princess Margaret divorced her husband, Antony Armstrong-Jones, the Earl of Snowdon, in 1978, it was the first divorce for a senior member of the royal family since Princess Victoria, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, got a divorce from her first husband, Ernest Louis, in 1901. In the years since, however, royal divorces have slowly become more commonplace. In fact, three of the queen's four children divorced their...
