ascended to the throne.The tradition, called “telling the bees,” demands that the bees be informed of the monarch’s passing in a hushed tone, the Daily Mail reported.A traditional custom in many European countries, “telling the bees” started centuries ago According to tradition, the bees must be told of important events in their keepers’ lives, such as births, marriages or departures from the household. It is said that if the bees are not told of important events, there will be a penalty to pay such as bees leaving their hive, stopping the production of honey, or even dying.“I’m at the hives now, and it is traditional when someone dies that you go to the hives and say a little prayer and put a black ribbon on the hive,” the 79-year-old beekeeper told the Daily Mail.

the Daily Mail reports.William’s unprecedented move puts an official end to his working relationship with the legal team at Harbottle & Lewis, who have acted on behalf of the royal family for decades.Instead, William has hired the team at Mishcon de Reya — one of the UK’s top legal firms.

was hospitalized for temporary side effects from his weekly treatment session.While Buckingham Palace called the health scare a mere “bump in the road,” the ordeal still prompted Charles, 76, to cancel all of his royal engagements slated for the following day.Now, royal authors and commentators are encouraging the ailing monarch to hit the brakes on his duties — something Queen Camilla previously admitted her husband simply refuses to do.“The trouble is, he’s been so conditioned to work that I don’t think he functions unless he’s working,” royal author Ingrid Seward told Newsweek.“When he’s not working he’s probably a bit all over the place, I know I’m like that. He’s always working and it’s just not his nature to take an afternoon nap, which I’m sure Camilla is trying to make him do.”Seward, author of royal book “My Mother and I,” added that the only viable approach is letting the king continue with the more exciting aspects of his official engagements, and scrap those that are dull in nature.“Cancer treatment makes you very, very tired,” she told the outlet.

departure from royal life in 2020.“Several of the aides that I spoke to, as well as the more junior staff, said that Meghan had what they called a ‘messiah complex,’” Quinn told Fox News. The messiah complex — also known as the savior complex — is when a person believes it’s their special duty to save or help others, even when it’s not needed.“I think what they meant was that, as a working royal, she could save all the people whose lives were difficult.

told Newsweek.“Far more thought and hiatus is stirred up in the media around what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are or aren’t doing on any given day than was ever a fixation at the palace,” a royal source told the outlet.The source added that the topic is “almost never discussed” at the palace.The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.Among the myriad of revelations in his book, Harry’s feelings toward Queen Camilla, 77, were laid bare as he sensationally branded her “dangerous,” and accused her of playing “the long game, a campaign aimed at marriage and eventually the Crown.”The father of two also claimed that his stepmother leaked stories about the royal family to the media to maintain her image and boost her popularity.“I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal p.r.

new allegations about him emerged in a new memoir.This week, the disgraced Duke of York, 65, was accused of behaving “inappropriately” toward a female masseuse back in 2000 when she was summoned to Buckingham Palace by Ghislaine Maxwell.As Andrew’s name continues to make headlines, the Prince of Wales is getting increasingly fed up with the negative attention the royal family is getting as a result.“This is yet another national and royal embarrassment for all,” royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News. “Prince William so wants his uncle Andrew to vanish from public view.”“When it comes to his wayward brother Andrew, King Charles III is also beyond exasperated and has disassociated himself publicly to make certain Andrew doesn’t appear with any senior members of the royal family.”Elsewhere, royal commentator Ian Pelham Turner told the outlet that William, 42, is unlikely to ever have his uncle feel welcomed back into the royal fold.“More allegations of potential impropriety will cause King Charles and Prince William [to take] further action,” Pelham Turner said of the future king.

the Daily Mail reports.Monique Giannelloni, 60, made the allegations in her new memoir, in which she claimed the former working royal displayed an “abuse of his privilege” when she arrived at the palace 25 years ago.Prior to the meeting, Giannelloni said that Maxwell — a longtime friend of Jeffrey Epstein — said she had a high-profile contact for her who was “more famous than God.”Once there, Giannelloni realized that Maxwell was referring to Andrew.In the book, the masseuse claims Andrew disrobed and removed his towel before climbing onto the massage table.“He did not do anything or suggest anything untoward, but I was very uncomfortable and a bit shocked that he had acted like that,” she wrote.She added that she “expected more” from a member of the royal family, adding that his behavior did not leave her “impressed.”“Andrew’s reputation has been sullied by his friendships with those two people,” she said, referring to Epstein and Maxwell.Elsewhere, Giannelloni alleged that Maxwell had tried to recruit her for what she now believes were Epstein’s infamous boat parties.“It was Andrew’s choice to be friends with those individuals Ghislaine and Epstein and somehow, I ended up in their world because of my work,” she wrote.“I have a lot of questions and a significant one is: was Ghislaine trying to involve me and Andrew in her sordid lifestyle?”Maxwell, 62, was convicted in 2021 of recruiting and grooming young women to be sexually assaulted by Epstein — who in 2019 killed himself in a lower Manhattan jail cell while he awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.She is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

the Daily Mail reports.One of Camilla’s longtime friends told the outlet that it was “imperative” for Charles to step in and ensure his wife’s privacy is being prioritized, given that the vacant building very nearly became a “short-term holiday rental and wedding venue.”The Post understands that Charles purchased the property through private funds. The building currently overlooks the home Camilla purchased 30 years ago following her divorce from Andrew Parker-Bowles.“The new arrangement is a pragmatic solution, being both a sound financial investment and a way of maintaining Her Majesty’s privacy, protection and continued enjoyment of her much-loved home, without any public funds being used,” a royal source told the Mail.Camilla, 77, is “grateful and relieved” that her husband intervened, the source adds.While Camilla has rarely returned to her Wiltshire home since becoming queen, she previously used the property as her quiet oasis when retreating from the spotlight.

The Times of London, Quinn writes that the king’s wife once complained to Charles about having to follow royal protocol.“One member of staff told me that at one point, Camilla hated the idea of being queen and would regularly say to Charles, ‘Can’t we get away from all this protocol?’” Quinn wrote.“It’s all bollocks,” the queen allegedly added.And when Camilla, 77, reportedly told the king she had no interest in becoming queen, “Charles, who hates swearing, would demurely reply, ‘You’re doing it [becoming queen] for me, darling,’” Quinn wrote.According to the royal author, “protocol means suits must be pressed and laid out after a period of consultation the night before,” and shoes “must be polished.”Meanwhile, baths should “be run at precisely the same time each day,” Quinn adds.What’s more, Quinn added that the monarch, 76, and his eldest son and future king, Prince William, are “prone to tantrums if things are not done to their liking.”“They both get irritated very quickly,” a former palace staffer told Quinn. “They are very picky.

had kept in contact with Epstein for longer than he initially let on.The new information has sparked fresh calls for a criminal probe into Epstein’s close relationships.“He is terrified if he goes to America, he could be arrested, face civil action or be subpoenaed,” a source told the Sun.“He used to be Air Miles Andy but he’ll never risk going to America again,” the insider went on. “Since the whole thing blew up, he’s only been to Bahrain, where he has friends.”“There hasn’t been a single golf trip to Spain or holiday abroad,” they added.President Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, has vowed to “do everything” he can to expose those who were involved in Epstein’s network.Spencer Kuvin, the attorney representing Epstein’s victims, has since said the UK government should “turn [Andrew] over” for questioning, adding that the Firm should be distancing itself from the duke.“The British monarchy should be embarrassed.

He was 45.Kingston’s heartbroken parents, Martin and Jill, have spoken out for the first time since their son’s tragic death, saying he was “normal, fun and laughing” just hours before he died.Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s “Today,” Jill said there was “nothing that raised any suspicions in our mind” during their lunch outing in the Cotswolds hours before her son’s death.“He was normal, he was fun, we were laughing at various things,” she recalled.During their relaxing weekend together, Kingston’s parents recalled “reading books, sitting around the fire” on a cold February day.After Jill and Thomas fell asleep, Martin headed out on a walk.While Martin was out, Thomas woke up and went to grab a few things from his car that he wanted to store at his parents’ house.Moments later, Jill woke up and noticed that her son’s bags were packed but he was nowhere to be found.

Buckingham Palace has announced the arrival of a new royal baby, born several weeks early.
