He never ate lunch, and breakfasted on the same birdseed and peeled fruit every morning."Punctuality had never been Camilla’s strong suit, but Charles expected her to be ready for engagements at his own regimented pace.

I think the royal family are deeply hurt, but that's precisely what they must want, otherwise, they wouldn't act like that."We saw the Queen, you can't help but feel desperately sorry for her, she would have loved to have Harry there for the day.

‘There is no money.’ Andrew would arrive on a skiing holiday and he’d have no stuff, and she’d have to buy it.”Andrew’s role from 2001 to 2011 as the UK’s Special Representative for international trade and investment offered him multiple opportunities for dubious personal networking to enhance his income. It allowed him to swan around the world at government expense, playing golf, brokering nefarious deals on sidebar excursions and partying with big-breasted beauty queens.

The Diana Chronicles, says that while Prince Andrew used to absolutely hate riding, he’s doing a lot of it at the moment “because the only person who’ll talk to him is the horse”.The disgraced duke, mired in scandal because of his friendship with notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, is “coroneted sleaze machine,” according to Brown.Palace sources said “ruthless and swift” action had been taken to put distance between Andrew and the royal family before he faced a US court to fight allegations from Epstein victim Virginia GiuffrePrince Charles and his son William are understood to have been 'instrumental' in the decision, which was “widely discussed” within royal circles.In January, Andrew was stripped of his military affiliations and royal patronages, and was forbidden from using the His Royal Highness [HRH] royal style in any official capacity.He was forced into an embarrassing U-turn earlier this month when – writing on his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson’s Instagram account – he posted reflections on his service during the Falklands War, and signed the post with an HRH.

Prince Charles has revealed the cheeky last words his father Prince Philip offered him just hours before he died.Prince Philip, who died last April aged 99, was renowned for being a humorous man with plenty of wisecracks, and couldn't resist one last jovial jab at his eldest son the Prince of Wales.In a documentary celebrating the life and times of the Duke of Edinburgh, Charles recalled the last conversation he and his father had, which took place over the phone just hours before Philip's death.The intimate interview with the BBC shows Prince Charles broach the subject of Prince Philip's upcoming 100th birthday.The Prince of Wales said that he knew his father was not overly keen on the idea of celebrating his centenary, and jokingly suggested a party.Prince Charles revealed the conversation had left him with a lasting final memory of his father, whose cheeky nature was lauded by many over his decades in the Royal Family.He recalled that the family had been talking of his 100th birthday, and knowing his father was hard of hearing, had to repeat himself and emphasised: "We're talking about your birthday! And whether there's going to be a reception!"The 99-year-old was quick to reply to his son's plans for another birthday.Prince Philip is said to have replied: "Well, I've got to be alive for it, haven't I?"

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are now "considered outsiders" by the Royal Family and there isn't much chance of that changing, according to a royal expert.Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield made the claims more than a year on from the Sussexes' bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, when relations between the two sides of the royal row were thought to be at an all time low.However things haven't improved much since, with the latest sticking point being Harry's refusal to return to the UK for Prince Philip's memorial over security concerns — which insiders suspect 'disappointed' Prince Charles and Prince William. It still isn't clear whether Harry will make the trip back across the pond for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, particularly with his tell-all memoir in the works and set to be released later this year.Unfortunately, Mrs Schofield doesn't think there is much chance of the divide being healed as there is so much "pushback" from Harry and Meghan.

A week after Prince Philip’s memorial, it was revealed that those Queen Elizabeth and Prince Andrew photos were not supposed to be taken at the ceremony.
