An upset. Prince Harry and William seemed to be on their spouses’ Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s side after some huge disagreements.

It may well be true that Prince William broke royal protocol when he hugged the victorious Lionesses at the Women's EURO 2022, after they beat Germany 2-1 in the nail-biting finale.

Prince Harry is in the process of finishing off his memoir, with many fans of the Royal Family anxious to see the "wholly truthful" account of his life.The Duke of Sussex's memoir was announced back in July 2021 and is set to be released towards the end of this year.The book's contents are still largely unknown and plenty of people have been speculating as to what Harry might put in it. Some royal commentators have predicted that the book will be a scandalous tell-all insight into his life as a prince in the Royal Family, which would address the rift between the Sussexes and the royals.

Prince William is an avid football fan, and as president of the FA, it’s unsurprising that he attended Euro final on Sunday. After watching the England Lionesses historic win, which saw them beat Germany 2-1, the Duke of Cambridge stayed around to congratulate the players and hand out their medals.

Over recent months, Prince William has stepped up in his role as a senior member of the royal family and has been spotted representing the Queen at numerous events, including at the final royal garden party at Buckingham Palace. And as second-in-line to the throne, the Duke of Cambridge’s royal engagements have given members of the public a good insight as to what kind of monarch he may be in the future, a royal expert has said.

It’s no secret that members of the royal family are ones for tradition. From the regal titles they inherit to the Christmas festivities they enjoy together, tradition and the royal family go hand in hand. But throughout the years, as things modernise and as the younger members of the family have children of their own, various royals have been spotted breaking away from tradition.

As a well known football fan and as the FA’s president, Prince William attended the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 final last week where he watched England’s Lionesses finally bring football home. Following the game, which saw the Lionesses beat Germany 2-1, 40 year old William was on hand to praise the players and award them with their winning medals. But the Duke of Cambridge, who’d previously shown his support for the team, broke royal protocol by offering hugs to congratulate the emotional players as they made their way across the pitch.

Princess Charlotte stole the show during a rare outing alongside her parents Prince William and Kate Middleton earlier this week. As she joined her doting mum and dad while on a visit to the Commonwealth Games, seven year old Charlotte could be seen showing off her cheeky side by sticking her tongue out as she cheered on the competitors at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre. And as she got stuck into the celebrations, Prince William could be seen laughing and joking with his daughter and at one point was pictured comforting Charlotte as they supported the athletes.

It’s been 25 years since Princess Diana tragically died, leaving her young sons Prince William and Prince Harry to navigate life without her.The brothers have grown from boys to men, and while Diana would be proud of what William and Kate have accomplished, royal expert Kristen Meinzer says Harry and Meghan’s actions would break her heart. Speaking of the Sussexes’ bombshell Oprah interview in 2021, the commentator explains: “If Diana had seen that interview, she would have been heartbroken, but not shocked.

Some royal fans have been left angered by the birthday message Kate Middleton and Prince William sent to Meghan Markle on her 41st birthday today, Thursday 4 August.The Cambridge family offered birthday praise to Meghan publicly on their social media account, as they posted a photo of the Duchess of Sussex in a cream dress with the message: ‘Wishing a happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!’ Meghan, who is married to William’s brother Prince Harry, dramatically exited the Royal Family alongside her husband in 2020, and the couple now live in California with their two children, son Archie, two, and daughter Lilibet, one. Since removing themselves from the monarchy, tensions have remained between the estranged pair and the Windsors, and Royal fans have since expressed their fury at the Cambridge’s goodwill gesture following their birthday message.
