Charles: Last News

King Charles has reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince Andrew amidst their ongoing dispute over the Royal Lodge, the home of the disgraced Duke of York. The King is planning a grand Christmas party to strengthen family unity after a year fraught with health issues, and his younger brother is expected to be in attendance.

Kate and William have chosen to spend Christmas with the King, as the Royal Family rallies together following a year-long battle with cancer. This festive gathering will be the first time the royals have united in full force after a challenging year for the monarch and the Princess of Wales, who were diagnosed with the disease within days of each other.

King Charles' escape at Highgrove is lit up in festive decor and shimmering lights. This season features a poignant homage following a harrowing loss within the Royal Family.

Prince William has shared a cute snippet from his family life, revealing that his youngest, Prince Louis, has learnt a new hobby. While he's delighted that his son has found something he enjoys, the royal dad revealed that he spends his 'entire life' with 'fingers in his ears' due to the new noisy interest. Speaking at the Tusk Conservation Awards event at The Savoy, London, on Wednesday (27 November), the Prince of Wales joked about the loud hobby.

to Us Weekly.“The dynamics have shifted,” an insider told the outlet, with another adding that the sovereign “has wanted to be the monarch for decades.”“Even though he’s battling cancer, he’s not letting that get in the way of his desire to be successful on the throne or a dynamic leader,” the source said.Behind the scenes, it’s reported that William, 42, is already preparing “for when his ascension happens.”“Like his father, he takes being a success in the royal role very seriously,” the insider said, adding that when it comes to the topic of succession within the Firm, the conversation is a “sensitive” one.“There’s occasional tension,” the source said, adding that William is likely in talks about transitioning titles and responsibilities, as well as the current state of the UK government to ensure “a smooth transition.”Elsewhere, palace insiders have claimed that royal staffers began drawing up succession plans after the king’s coronation in May 2023.The plans were fast-tracked earlier this year after Charles revealed his cancer diagnosis in February, the source adds.“The Palace sprung into action,” the source told the outlet.

splurged $4.7 million on one of 300 residences at the 722-acre CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club — a development about 81 miles south of Lisbon, it was reported last month.However, the sprawling property is still not ready to be moved into and will only be used as a vacation home by the couple, a source told the Express.“The villa in Portugal is more an investment than anything else and construction hasn’t even been completed yet,” the insider said.“It hasn’t been purchased as a new home, but more as a holiday retreat and something they can put their money into to protect their assets.”Before the pair can enjoy their new abode in Portugal, the Sussexes face one major hurdle to overcome — European Union citizenship.Such citizenship would allow the couple to travel freely through the Schengen Area, which covers 29 countries.Still, it appears the Sussexes are not looking to pack up and leave the US anytime soon — despite their close friends Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, making the move.Markle, 43, has boasted a very close friendship with the former “Ellen Show” host, but will not be looking to make a similar move herself for the second time, The Post revealed this week.On the flip side, Grant Harrold — who had previously worked as King Charles’ butler for seven years — noted that the Duke of Sussex, 40, could be making the move eventually.“I do see it,” he said of the exiled prince. “I think he could be open to returning.

hightailed it across the pond to the UK.Last week, it emerged that the comedian, 66, and the “Arrested Development” alum, 51, packed up and moved to England following Donald Trump’s election win earlier this month.Sources close to the couple, who wed in 2008, said they will likely “never” return to the US on a permanent basis.However, despite boasting a very close friendship with the former “Ellen Show” host, the “Suits” alum, 43, will not be looking to make a similar move herself for the second time, according to a former palace staffer.Grant Harrold, who had previously worked as King Charles’ personal butler for seven years, exclusively told The Post that Markle will not be “following suit.”“Meghan’s too much of an American girl, she doesn’t want to be in the UK permanently,” Harrold said of the former actress. “I can see her coming over for the holidays and having time over here, but living here permanently? I just don’t see it.”However, Harrold noted that the same theory doesn’t apply to Markle’s husband, Prince Harry.In fact, the former palace staffer believes the Duke of Sussex, 40, will be making that move eventually.“I do see it,” he said of the exiled prince.

When Prince William said it’d been a “brutal” year, he meant it in more ways than one. It turns out he hasn’t just been dealing with cancer challenges… he’s been facing a TON of “tension” with his dad King Charles III!

the embattled figure. The Duke of York’s “loyal and protective daughters,” Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34, are taking turns spending weekends with their father, 64, at Royal Lodge, the 30-bedroom mansion that he has refused to leave despite his brother King Charles III’s attempts to evict him, according to HELLO! Andrew has suffered a stunning fall from grace over the past five years after his disastrous “Newsnight” interview in which Charles’ younger brother said he didn’t regret his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein because the relationship led to “opportunities” that were “actually very useful.” The Duke stepped back from all public roles following a public outcry.

The ongoing dispute between Prince Andrew and King Charles over the Royal Lodge doesn't seem to be easing up. Reports have consistently suggested that King Charles wants his scandal-hit brother to vacate the expansive 30-room mansion in Windsor Great Park for the more modest Frogmore Cottage.

During her first appearance at Trooping the Colour in 2018, Meghan Markle attempted to lighten the mood. However, a joke she made to her new sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, fell flat, according to her husband, Prince Harry.

They might be the most famous family in the world, but at Christmas, the royals’ wish list is rather conventional: happiness, good health and being together. Queen Elizabeth II adored having her family around her. “One of the joys of living a long life is watching one’s children, then grandchildren, then great-grandchildren, help decorate the Christmas tree,” she said in her 2015 Christmas message.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton, have always strived to give their children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis - as normal a childhood as possible.This included keeping a significant secret from their eldest son, Prince George. Until he was about seven years old, George was reportedly unaware that he would one day become king, following in the footsteps of his grandfather and eventually his father.

If 1992 was Queen Elizabeth II’s annus horribilis – or ‘horrible year’ – then 2024 will most certainly be the one King Charles III chooses to forget. In February, just nine months after his Coronation, Buckingham Palace shared the sobering news that His Majesty had an unspecified form of cancer. The discovery was made during treatment for an enlarged prostate, but is not prostate cancer.

King Charles stepped out alone at the Royal Variety Performance on Friday night. His appearance comes after it was revealed Queen Camilla would be missing the yearly event due to an ongoing chest infection.

This is… odd.

King Charles arrived at the Royal Variety Performance solo this evening after Queen Camilla was forced to pull out of attending due to a persistent chest infection.The Queen has scaled back on engagements after falling ill, and is said to be still affected by post-viral symptoms from the infection. Earlier today, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “Following a recent chest infection, the Queen continues to experience some lingering post-viral symptoms, as a result of which doctors have advised that, after a busy week of engagements, Her Majesty should prioritise sufficient rest.

Ellen DeGeneres has some fancy new neighbors!

A new documentary about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is set to spark fresh debate about the couple.The controversial film, titled 'Harry - The Lost Prince', will be broadcast on Germany's ZDF network next month. Promising new insights into Harry and Meghan's life, the documentary will premiere at 8.15pm on December 3.

Prince Andrew was initially offered the spacious 5,089 sq ft Frogmore Cottage in March 2023, as a swap for his lease on the grand thirty-room Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park. However, the Duke of York has remained steadfast in his refusal to move, despite his brother, King Charles, discontinuing his million-pound-a-year allowance and ceasing payments for his private security team. Now, it seems Andrew's financial woes may be over, with the revelation that an anonymous donor has pledged to support him with a hefty £3m a year.

King Charles and Prince Andrew are reportedly no longer on speaking terms. Oh no!
