Buckingham Palace: Last News

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been subtly demoted on Buckingham Palace’s official website.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex awoke on Tuesday to their profiles sitting all the way at the bottom of the royal webpage that lists all of the members of the royal family.The pair stepped down as senior working members of the Firm in 2020, and subsequently hightailed it across the pond in search of privacy.Since then, they’ve only returned to Harry’s home soil a handful of times.Prior to Tuesday’s digital shake-up, Harry, 39, and the “Suits” alum, 42, were featured on the royal website each boasting a 2,000-word profile on their respective summaries.Now, the duo’s bios are placed beneath 12 other members of the royal family, including scandal-scarred Prince Andrew, whose profile sits above the Sussexes.Harry and Meghan’s short bio explains their decision to quit royal duties.“As announced in January 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped back as working members of The Royal Family,” the statement reads.“The couple married in St George’s Chapel, Windsor on 19 May 2018 and have two children: Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.”The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.The Sussexes, for their part, launched a brand new website in February — but their digital revamp was hit with major backlash after the pair used their royal titles on the site.Their new rebrand seemingly struck a nerve among the public, who noticed that they used their royal titles — despite quitting the Firm almost four years ago.Still, Markle made sure to let readers know that she’s a “fan” of her new website.“There is a reason I have worked with Ryan and the talented team at Article for a decade: their attention to

speculation over Kate Middleton and King Charles’s respective health woes continue to swirl.With senior members of the royal family pulling back from the royal fold one at a time over a myriad of health issues, the royal family has faced a difficult start to the year.And according to Kay, the family needs to get their “act together or lose public confidence” before it’s too late.“The photograph issue, while small in itself, nevertheless exposed tensions that lie close to the surface in the family, as well as the fragility of an institution that for decades seemed impervious to any external threat,” Kay wrote in the Daily Mail.“But if we are not quite at the 11th hour, we are ­perilously close. There still may be time for the high tide of public disapproval to recede, but the cost to the royal image and to individual reputations has been high.”“Yet the problems go beyond the two medical emergencies.

The Sun that the Prince and Princess of Wales made a stop at a farm shop in Windsor after watching their children Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, play sports.And while the rumored sighting may provide some royalists with comfort and a collective sigh of relief that Middleton, 42, is doing well, it also seems to raise more questions than before.“After all the rumors that had been going round I was stunned to see them there,” one eyewitness shared with the outlet. “Kate was out shopping with William, and she looked happy and she looked well.”“The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops,” the source added of Middleton’s visit to the Windsor Farm shop, located just a 5-minute drive away from Windsor Castle.The Post has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.The lack of photographic proof documenting Middleton’s wholesome outing fails to squish whispers about her well-being following her planned abdominal surgery on Jan.

Already well-known for her cheeky sense of humour, Queen Camilla had a good giggle when she was presented with a Barbie doll that looked just like her! The Queen was hosting a Women of the World event at Buckingham Palace when she was presented with the toy which had been designed in her likeness. Just like the Queen, the doll was dressed in a Royal blue Fiona Clare dress, a black Amanda Wakeley coat, Eliot Zed shoes and even had a Launer handbag and Van Cleef and Arpels bracelet.

After a difficult few years for the Royal Family with the deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and the reduced number of working royals following the departures of the Duke of York and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, one royal has truly stepped up to the plate. Known for carrying on his father's role with the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme and his passions for the arts, Prince Edward has truly come into his own in the last few years and become a key source of support for The King.

People.This is just the latest development in the curious lack of transparency about her condition. Middleton is reportedly on the mend from the medical procedure, and she’s been recovering behind closed doors since being discharged from the hospital on Jan. 29, at her home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.Since then, Prince William, 41, has dodged questions about her recovery as he’s attended many events without his wife, including the BAFTAs.

Royal christenings are some of the most highly-anticipated events and have been a cause for celebration among fans of the Firm for many years. Across the decades, the ceremonies have been held in various locations, such as in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace or in the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace.The days are littered with traditions which vary from the ceremony being carried out by the Archbishop of Canterbury to the royal baby being christened in front of the Lily Font with water from the River Jordan.

Ever since King Charles acceded to the throne on the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, there have been a number of changes to royal titles. The day after he became King, it was announced that Prince William and Kate had become the Prince and Princess of Wales, and, six months later, it was revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children would be styled as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.

step up to help out the royal family — should that be something they’d want him to do.With King Charles out of action as he undergoes cancer treatment, and Kate Middleton sitting out of royal engagements until after Easter following her abdominal surgery, the Firm is having to undergo a major reshuffle.“It’s difficult to tell and it’ll be interesting to see what goes on moving forward,” Harrold exclusively told The Post.“Harry is a Counsellor of State, so he is still a very senior member of the royal family and if the time comes, he would step up if he needs to.”“While Harry might not be next in line to the throne, he’s not that far down the line of succession so his importance to the royal family shouldn’t be overlooked,” Harrold went on, adding, “I think it’s within all of their benefits to actually resolve these ongoing issues.”Returning to the UK at a time of crisis is something that Harry has reportedly been contemplating in recent weeks.Although the father of two, 39, is being kept at arm’s length from ongoing succession talks, it seems as though he could make a swift return to the royal fold as the family navigates several health woes.In fact, it’s his wife, Meghan Markle, who is the “apprehensive” one when it comes to the idea of moving back to Harry’s home soil.Meanwhile, 5,459 miles away in London, Prince William and Princess Anne are taking over the reins from Queen Camilla as she’s set to jet off on a quick vacation following a busy few weeks.King Charles’ wife is said to be “exhausted” from having to take on an extra workload following her husband’s cancer diagnosis.Camilla, 76, has taken on 13 official engagements solo since news of the King’s ailing health came to light.William, the heir to the throne,

The Sun reports.Camilla, 76, has taken on 13 official engagements solo since news of the King’s ailing health came to light.She will now spend a few days of private downtime to get away from it all, before returning to the royal fold on March 11 at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.Camilla last week led the royal family at a memorial service for King Constantine of Greece at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, after the Prince of Wales, 41, mysteriously pulled out at the eleventh hour.“Although she was not expecting to find herself in the position of leading the family, the Queen is absolutely prepared to do whatever needs to be done for the institution,” a source close to Camilla told the Sunday Times.“She has been buoyed by the public’s reaction. She has found reserves of energy that even she didn’t think she had, and the estimation of her by those inside the palace has soared as she has put her shoulder to the wheel.”Another insider added, “Her Majesty is robust, positive, and determined to keep going while the King is off public duties.

According to reports, Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales could be set to be handed a new royal honour to keep up with the dwindling number of senior royals and cope with a backlog of investitures caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Currently, only King Charles, the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal are able to hand out OBEs, MBEs and similar honours as 'blood' royals - but this could soon change as there is speculation that the proposal is being discussed, the Daily Mail reports.

Thomas Kingston, who was married to Lady Gabriella Kingston, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, was found dead at his parents' £3million mansion in the Cotswolds shortly after having lunch with them.The Gloucestershire Coroner's Court heard that Mr Kingston died from a "traumatic head wound". A gun was discovered near his body in an outbuilding at his parents' home.The court was told that Mr Kingston had lunch with his family just before his death on February 25, 2024.

believed to be “very keen” on being let back into the royal fold, and he could be doing just that with the “Suits” alum in arms.“It’s difficult to say given everything that has gone on and the trust that has been broken down whether they could return as full-time royals, but I’ve always said if Harry did return to the UK, it is possible,” Grant Harrold, who worked for the monarch for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post.Still, Harrold noted that the family has some feuds to squash before conversations of a reunion could be had.“He could have a discussion with his brother about resuming his royal duties, but obviously there is so much that has happened over the last couple of years and that needs to be sorted out before the Sussexes made a permanent return,” the royal expert noted.“I don’t think it would be impossible — when I was working for the royal family, I saw how close William and Harry were, I don’t think that’s a relationship that is too far gone to be healed or fixed.”The former royal butler this week said that the father of two — who lost his bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection for his family — is still “privy to top-secret information” — despite being estranged from most of his loved ones.“Technically, he is able to step in for the king.

If he wasn’t still Counsellor of State then that would be a very different matter.”Little to no surprise, it’s believed that Prince William, the heir to the throne, is “at the heart” of the King’s succession plans.“The King has or definitely had a close relationship with Harry — if this is true, I can’t understand why the King wouldn’t want to share his plans,” Harrold said.“Maybe there’s this feeling not to share following all the documentaries and interviews Harry has done.

Prince Harry is said to be “very keen” on the idea of returning to the UK with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, according to a report.The Duke of Sussex, 39, is believed to be planning a way back into the royal fold, but it seems as though the Duchess of Sussex is “apprehensive” about the idea.Sources told OK!

Ever since 2003, King Charles' London base has been Clarence House - and that hasn't changed since his accession owing to the extensive building work currently taking place at Buckingham Palace. However, before he took over the former home of his grandmother, the Queen Mother, Charles had a different building to call home which is located just next door. While many people may believe that the most senior royal residence is Buckingham Palace as it has been an official residence of the monarch since Queen Victoria's reign, that isn't the case.
