On the heels of the stunning news that has reverberated around the world, an explicitly detailed series of protocols — including the Prince of Wales' ascension to the throne — will begin to roll out.According to multiple reports, a slew of code-named operations are in place, each calling for specific plans for various scenarios.

Prince Charles, his wife Camilla, and Prince William are all currently travelling to Queen Elizabeth II's Scottish residence.

Prince Harry was once interested in using a mediator to attempt to heal his fractured relationship with his brother Prince William.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly turned down offers from both the Queen and Prince Charles to visit them during their time in the UK this week. The revelations were revealed on Tuesday morning, when royal expert Katie Nicholl claimed that the pair had rejected two invitations so far during their brief trip to the UK.

Prince Harry was reportedly interested in using a mediator to mend his fractured relationship with his brother William - with whom he was once known to share a close bond.The brothers' relationship has seemingly been strained since the arrival of Harry's now-wife Meghan Markle came onto the scene back in 2018. Harry, 37, and Meghan, 41, announced their plans to quit as senior members of the royal family in early 2020 and they subsequently moved to a sprawling mansion in Montecito, California, where they now live with son Archie, 3, and daughter Lilibet, 15 months. Earlier this year, royal expert Katie Nicholl told how Prince Harry was "ready to mend his relationship" with his brother, prior to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June, however, he might "need a mediator".

When Kate was growing up she reportedly suffered a miserable ordeal while studying at her all-girls boarding school Downe House in Cold Ash, Berkshire. “Being especially slender and a head taller than her peers, she stood out for the wrong reasons and was teased for being gangly and lanky,” Katie Nicholl, a royal correspondent and biographer, explained.

An anxious Prince William had a "frank" discussion with the Queen over "second thoughts" he was having about Kate Middleton, according to a royal expert.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 40, dated for years before they married at Westminster Abbey in 2011, having met around a decade earlier when they were both studying at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. But they split in 2007, around four years into their relationship, after Wills reportedly got cold feet as pressure grew to propose amid engagement rumours. Royal expert and author Katie Nicholl has said the future king had confided in Prince Charles and the Queen months before the split.

Meghan Markle is said to still be “p***ed off” about her exit from the clan – and it could lead to a new crisis.The claim came from the latest episode of explosive Channel 4 documentary The Real Windsors, which looks at what future the Royal Family might have. During the third and final episode, claims were made about how Meghan perceived her own self-imposed exile from the family, alongside husband Prince Harry.

Kate Middleton in particular "does things her own way" one expert has said, with the use of "royal traditions" a core concept for the family but not an immediate one. A new change for the Cambridge children, Princess George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, three, marks a break from royal tradition as the Duchess of Cambridge parents in her own way once more.READ MORE: Royal tensions between Harry, William and the Queen 'about to reach boiling point'Prince William, Kate and the three children are set for a move to Adelaide Cottage and leave Kensington Palace behind, with that change marking a key move for the Cambridge family.A move to the Windsor-based property will mark the first time the Cambridge children are without a live-in nanny.Maria Borrallo, who has worked with the family since Prince George was eight will be retained as a full-time employee but live elsewhere, instead of Kate and William's four-bedroom home.The hands-on parenting style of William and Kate appears to be coming up once again, with royal expert Katie Nicholl saying that the style brings a "modern touch" to the family.

Kate Middleton was given a rare privilege at Balmoral by the Queen, according to reports. The Duchess of Cambridge, 40, began visiting Balmoral Estate in Scotland when she was dating her husband Prince William.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are said to be enjoying one final summer in their country estate of Anmer Hall in Norfolk before taking up residence Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.The move from Kensington Palace will mark a new beginning for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 40, as their children Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, will reportedly be starting at Lambrook School in Berkshire. But it appears it's a welcome change as Kate's uncle Gary Goldsmith told The Sun that they're "ready for the next chapter" following their lives at Kensington Palace.

Prince William and Kate Middleton don't want to "weigh Prince George down" with the "burden" of becoming the future king, an expert has claimed. Royal biographer Katie Nicholl says that while George, who celebrated his ninth birthday last week, "understands" he will be King one day, it is "not made into a big deal." Speaking exclusively to OK!, Katie said: "William struggled with [knowing his destiny] when he was a young man and he’s very keen George doesn’t experience that same sense of burden from an early age.

To say it’s been a difficult week for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is an understatement. And according to former royal butler Grant Harrold, the publication of Tom Bower’s bombshell book Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors – a book they were probably dreading – will have left Harry and Meghan feeling “angry” and “hurt”.
