Prince Harry keeps showing intense family support for his mother, Diana

by
Prince Harry
  • Some royal analysts believe Camilla might be the target of any criticism Prince Harry directs at the family in his impending memoir.
  • The Crown which will focus on the stormy 1990s in the royal family.
  • Harry’s memoir and the smash Netflix series The Crown.

Some royal analysts believe Camilla might be the target of any criticism Prince Harry, the younger son of Diana, directs at the family in his impending memoir.

Despite Camilla’s image having undergone a pretty miraculous metamorphosis, Harry still appears to be extremely protective of his mother Diana despite the fact that she is now King Charles’ wife.

“The scorched earth left by Diana still smolders,” royal expert Tina Brown previously told. “For the first 10 years after her death, the royals were still destabilized by the catastrophes surrounding Diana—from her divorce, the damage to Charles, the car crash, the effect on the boys.

“However, the rise of Kate Middleton and William have done a great deal to reduce that dark dust and decrease the Diana decibel. But with what Harry and Meghan have said and done, the next season of The Crown [which will focus on events leading up to and after Diana’s death], and Harry’s memoir will resurface a particular agony for Charles.”

  • Body language expert Darren Stanton has commented on their visit.
  • He says they are expected to take the lead in the Royal diary after becoming Princes and Princesses Of Wales.

According to a body language specialist, Kate Middleton and Prince William are expected to surpass King Charles III as a result of their success during their recent visit to their new principality Wales.

After Queen Elizabeth passed away earlier this month, Charles, the previous Prince of Wales, gave William and Kate their new titles. This week, William and Kate made their first official trip to Wales as the new prince and princess.

Darren Stanton, a specialist, commented on their visit, “Analysing the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales yesterday, I think this denotes a brand-new chapter in the story of the monarchy, and clearly a lot of people turned out to see Kate and William.”

“Body language wise, we saw William and Kate posing for photographs and taking selfies with members of the public and no task was too much to undertake.”

King Charles III display of wealth as a monarch revealed!

by
King Charles
  • Jewellers estimate coronation regalia could be worth an astounding £3.5 billion.
  • The Imperial State Crown was last seen on top of the Queen’s coffin along with the sceptre and orb.
  • Cullinan Diamond is set within the Cross sceptre, raising its estimated value to £700 million.

King Charles III will be formally crowned as the new monarch, and according to reputable jewellers, his coronation regalia could be worth an astounding £3.5 billion.

According to Express UK, the £2.5 billion Imperial State Crown, which was last seen on top of the Queen’s coffin along with the sceptre and orb as she lay in state after her death, will undoubtedly be displayed at the coronation ceremony for King Charles, which is currently being planned for next year.

Both the Queen’s state funeral on September 19, 2022, and her coronation back in 1953 both included all three crown jewels.

Maxwell Stone, a jeweller and specialist from the UK, made an attempt to determine the value of the coronation regalia. “Each piece is extraordinary – from the Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross, which contains the £400million Cullinan I diamond, to the Sovereign’s Ring, which features an octagonal sapphire, overlaid with four rectangular-cut and one square-cut ruby that form a cross.”

“Laced with history, it’s incredibly difficult to value the Coronation Regalia. I’d estimate it to be worth a staggering £3.5billion.”

The St. Edward’s Crown, which has been used since 1661 to physically enthrone a new monarch, is reportedly valued around £3.6 million, according to Stone.

The Cullinan Diamond is set within the renowned Cross sceptre, raising its estimated value to £700 million. The Sovereign’s Orb is estimated to be worth $175,000, and the Dove sceptre is worth roughly £250,000.

Meghan Markle is unaware of the difference between a celebrity and a royal

by
Meghan Markle
  • Meghan Markle’s problems with other royals may be related to Harry’s failure to adequately prepare Meghan.
  • Harry clearly never really wanted to admit to her what was actually going to be involved with the royal family.
  • Prince William prepared his wife Kate Middleton for royal.

Prince Harry has been blamed for Meghan Markle’s alleged inability to distinguish between being a member of the royal family and a celebrity, according to a royal expert event.

According to Duncan Larcombe, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s problems with other royals may be related to Harry’s failure to adequately prepare Meghan, as Prince William did for his wife Kate Middleton.

As per Larcombe: “I feel desperately sorry for Meghan. Harry clearly never really wanted to admit to her what was actually going to be involved with the royal family.”

He then went on to compare their marriage to Kate and William, recounting: “I covered William and Kate’s relationship almost from the start. And for the first seven years of their relationship, if you rang the palace to ask something about Kate Middleton, they would say we don’t talk about her when she’s a private individual.”

Larcombe added: “But she had years to adjust to the attention, and I think Meghan basically didn’t ever get straight in her mind the difference between being on the red carpet as a celebrity and the red carpet as a royal, and she just didn’t understand the incredibly important distinction.”

“I don’t know that she was guided, and I don’t think the royal family really knew what they’ve got when Meghan showed up,” he concluded.

London Mayor approves Queen Elizabeth statue in Trafalgar Square

by
Queen Elizabeth
  • Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has backed the Royal Family’s wish for a statue of Queen Elizabeth II at Trafalgar Square.
  • He announced on Wednesday that the Queen would not be shown in the Fourth Plinth.
  • Mayor’s office tweeted, “The headline is simply wrong.”

The construction of a memorial statue honouring Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning queen in British history, at Trafalgar Square has finally received the blessing of Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.

Khan responded to criticism for turning down requests for a statue of the late Queen to be placed on the Fourth Plinth of Trafalgar Square by declaring that he “stands ready” to fulfil the intentions of the Royal Family.

Following her passing earlier this month, calls have been made for the land, which is now utilised for a different monument every two years, to house a permanent statue of her Majesty.

Khan announced on Wednesday that the Queen would not be shown in the Fourth Plinth, which has featured contemporary artwork since 1999, “for the foreseeable future.”

“The Fourth Plinth will continue to showcase new works by world-class artists for the foreseeable future,” a spokesperson for Khan had said in a statement.

The Mayor’s Press Office reversed its previous position and stated that Khan “stands ready to support” the intentions of the Royal Family.

Mayor’s office tweeted, “The headline is simply wrong.”

“Mayor of London has been repeatedly clear he stands ready to support the wishes of Royal Family whatever they are and will ensure our capital has a fitting tribute to our longest serving monarch.”
