Jennie Bond: Last News

The news that King Charles is returning to public-facing official duties in the near future will not only be a boost for him and Queen Camilla, but also for other key senior royals such as The Prince and Princess of Wales. After an emotionally challenging few months which has seen the number of working members of the family stretched thinly, a top royal commentator has reflected on why this uplifting news will also be a relief for Prince William and Kate.

Prince Harry is in a "tricky situation" as a result of his US visa application, according to royal commentator Jennie Bond. She believes there are "only three possible conclusions" to the controversy.

Prince Harry has found himself in a ‘sticky situation’ after royal expert Jennie Bond claims he may have ‘lied’ on his US visa application. Jennie exclusively told OK! how Harry’s potential US visa case could lead to an “embarrassing outcome” for the Prince.

Prince William will be returning to his public Royal duties "cautiously" as he leaves Kate Middleton for the first time since she revealed her cancer diagnosis. On Thursday, April 18, the Prince of Wales, 41, is scheduled to visit Surplus to Supper, a surplus food distribution charity in Surrey, where he will contribute in the kitchen and assist with loading prepared meals into delivery vans.

They have rapidly become one of the Royal Family’s greatest assets and so it proved again last week when the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh stepped up to the plate and carried out a historic ceremony on behalf of King Charles. But as Prince Edward, 60, and Sophie, 59, watched French soldiers parade in the Buckingham Palace forecourt to mark 120 years of friendly relations between the two countries the couple must have reflected that their rise has been many years in the making.Their ascension, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond notes, is also setting the perfect example for two young royals of how to make a success of being the 'spare' to the throne.

Even though the Grand National Festival will take place at Aintree Racecourse on Saturday, 13 April, it is not expected that King Charles will be in attendance as he continues to focus on his recovery following his cancer diagnosis. Many members of the Royal Family - including the King, Zara Tindall, Princess Anne and the late Queen Elizabeth II - have graced the racecourse in recent decades.

For many years, the Duke of Sussex enjoyed a very warm relationship with his sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales - even going so far as to describe her as "the sister I've never had and always wanted" in his memoir, Spare. While the pair have grown apart in recent years since the Sussexes very public split from the Royal Family, a leading royal expert has pointed out how Harry in particular will feel about losing his bond with Kate, while also making it clear where his priorities now lie.

Even though King Charles and Queen Camilla are celebrating their 19th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, 9 April, the couple have been in one another's lives, on and off, for more than five decades. Their partnership is built on a thoroughly level playing field as they give one another all the love and support they need to tackle whatever life throws at them.

Every wedding anniversary is special but for King Charles and Queen Camilla this week’s milestone date will bring with it added poignancy and a time for reflection. It is 19 years since the royal couple made their vows at a civil ceremony at Windsor’s Guildhall watched by a global audience of millions and 35 years since they first met. However, despite the memory of the joy of that momentous day, it is open to question whether the couple will mark the occasion with a large celebration or party.

After his father became King following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, Prince William is now first in line to the throne as he takes on more senior duties within the Royal Family. And when he becomes King one day, the Prince of Wales will make history thanks to one specific trait of his. Measuring in at 6ft 3in, Prince William, 41, is known for his tall stature – a figure which will make him the second-tallest measured monarch in Britain’s history.

While The King and The Princess of Wales are both facing worrying health battles, they will perhaps find a small amount of solace by confiding in one another about what they are both going through.The pair share a very close bond and have often expressed their respect and admiration for one another.This relationship will surely act as a pillar of strength during this difficult time – as well as the light-hearted distraction provided by Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. This special relationship between the King, his daughter-in-law and his Wales grandchildren will be hugely important at this time, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond notes.

The countdown to the release of Netflix's film Scoop is into its final days.The programme - which chronicles what lead up to and subsequently followed Prince Andrew's infamous Newsnight interview - premieres on the streaming giant on Friday, 5 March.

He may come from a world of immense privilege but the Prince of Wales has been dealt a cruel hand in his personal life.

The appearance will be the King's first major engagement since news of his cancer diagnosis was revealed.This decision, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond tells OK!, is a stroke of genius for more reasons than one.The expert explained: "I think this is a really positive sign that the King is standing up to the cancer treatment well and that his doctors must be satisfied with his progress, and I think it probably lends weight to the suggestions that he is impatient to get things back to normal." Jennie continued: "He’s the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, our Head of State and the head if his family - and he wants to be seen carrying out those roles.
