“Woke Royals”

Prince Harry’s latest interview to promote his bombshell memoir Spare could prove to be the most damaging yet for his father, King Charles – as it will see the Duke sitting down with a ‘childhood trauma expert’ who believes that everything wrong in people’s lives is rooted in their negative experiences as a child.

The royal, 38, is set to speak with Hungarian-Canadian doctor Gabor Maté on Saturday to promote his new memoir, Spare, and discuss ‘living with loss and the importance of personal healing.’

Having already taken several swipes at his family in the pages of his book, this new interview will provide Harry with an opportunity to delve even deeper into his childhood – and potentially lay bare any ‘traumatic’ experiences that he believes have led to his struggles as an adult.

The last coronation in England was 70 years ago when Queen Elizabeth sat on Edward I’s chair (dating from 1296) as the Archbishop of Canterbury placed King Edward’s crown (dating from 1661) on her head. It’s an ancient ceremony and, in the modern era, an infrequent one. You’d think there’d be a queue of rock stars lining up to be part of this historical moment, but they’re not. Even a king all-in on climate change can’t override a soap opera monarchy associated with colonialism, so top rockers are saying “no” to being a part of the event.

Monarchists in Canada say they’re troubled by the fact that the federal government hasn’t said yet how the country will celebrate King Charles’s coronation — a historic event for the head of state that is just two months away.

Royal-watchers say that as a senior member of the Commonwealth of Nations with close historic ties to the Crown, Canada should meaningfully mark Charles’s investiture as King and the crowning of Camilla as Queen Consort.

I am not sure the Monarchy will survive William and Kate.

As for Canada, I think a respect for  tradition exists but a growing indifference may spell the end of our ties.

KING Charles is evicting Prince Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage — and has offered it to Prince Andrew.

The Sussexes are now drawing up plans to ship their remaining belongings to the US.

They don’t make them like they used to

I was interested to read that the next Joker film has the subtitle ‘Folie à Deux’ – a lovely phrase not used enough these days. When shrinks talk about folie à deux (also known as Lasègue-Falret Syndrome, after the 19th-century French psychiatrists who discovered it) they mean a ‘shared delusional disorder’ in which symptoms of an irrational belief are transmitted from one individual to another – including folie en famille or folie à plusieurs (‘madness of several’), sometimes leading to violence and even murder. But in popular culture, we generally mean a pair of lovers who act in such a way that anyone outside their set-up sees them as insane (‘folly of two’ or ‘madness shared by two’) and who provide a great deal of entertainment – and reassurance – for those who have chosen a tamer path.

Meghan Markle was ‘surprised and disappointed’ that Prince Harry ‘had very little money’, a royal expert has claimed.

Royal author Tom Bower appeared on GB News earlier this month, where he spoke to the MailOnline’s Dan Wootton about the couple’s early relationship.

Discussing the Duchess’ misconceptions about the Royal Family, the author – who wrote the 2022 book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors – described the former Suits actress as ‘money-obsessed’.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are more disliked in America than Prince Andrew in the aftermath of the duke’s book Spare.

Harry’s popularity in the U.S. has sunk 48 points since December and Meghan’s 40 points giving them net approval ratings of -10 for the duke and -17 for the duchess, according to polling by Redfield & Wilton for Newsweek.

Less liked than Andy? That’s impressive but well earned.

Insiders claim Meghan Markle has been left ‘upset and overwhelmed’ for the past few days at how she and Prince Harry are depicted in an episode of South Park.

The episode, titled ‘World Privacy Tour’ pokes fun at the couple’s grievances, while Meghan is introduced cuttingly as a ‘sorority girl, actress, influencer, victim,’ by another character.

The satirical series ridiculed the couple’s demands for privacy while on a publicity blitz for the prince’s autobiography ‘Waaaah’ – a dig at Harry’s recent memoir Spare – in last week’s brutal episode.

Harry and Meghan’s lawyers are ‘casting an eye’ over animated sitcom South Park, a royal commentator has claimed, after it launched a series of attacks against the couple.

The satirical series ridiculed the couple’s demands for privacy while on a publicity blitz for the Duke’s autobiography, Spare, and their Netflix series in a brutal episode last week.

Now it has been suggested the broadcast may have ‘legal ramifications’ with the Sussexes’ lawyers.

The Duke of York fears that he will be forced out of his luxury home in Windsor if the King tightens the royal purse strings.

Andrew, 63, is said to have told friends that he may have to move out of Royal Lodge by September if Charles cuts his funding. This would leave him struggling to afford the maintenance costs of the spacious property.

Since standing down as a working member of the royal family in 2019, he has been supported by private funds from the Duchy of Lancaster, the monarch’s private estate.

30 room mansion?

Megyn Kelly says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle simply “won’t recover” from a recent “South Park” episode that mocked the exiled royals.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to move across the pond in a desperate bid for privacy was mercilessly ridiculed in the show’s latest episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour.”

As if we hadn’t heard enough about “the Dumb Prince and His Stupid Wife” — not Cockburn’s words — now South Park has dedicated an entire episode to mocking them and their faux pleas for privacy.

The thrifty King has long eschewed fashion trends, preferring instead to don well-worn favourites that have stood the test of time.

But while he is determined to be seen as a frugal monarch, royal aides might be advised that His Majesty needs a new pair of socks.

Polling shows a drop in the couple’s popularity since the release of Spare

Last weekend, 25 of the entertainment industry’s most influential women gathered at a highly-publicised beauty event in Los Angeles that also served as Oprah Winfrey’s 69th birthday party. Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Cindy Crawford and Sharon Stone were among the guests. As various American publications were quick to point out, however, the Duchess of Sussex was not.

She’s gonna dump him.

The Mail on Sunday today reveals crucial evidence that the infamous picture of Prince Andrew with his alleged teenage sex victim is genuine – demolishing claims by the Duke and his supporters that it could be fake.

The photograph of Andrew with his arm around 17-year-old Virginia Roberts has dogged him since it was first published by The Mail on Sunday 12 years ago and ultimately led to his downfall.

Since then, the 62-year-old Prince has suggested the devastating photograph could have been altered with digital trickery, while his former friend, jailed sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, claimed just last week that it is a fraud.
