Prince Harry’s a “tragedy in the making.” An author says the Duke of Sussex, 39, is destined to become a “lost figure.” The reason: Because there’s no coming back from the damage inflicted upon the royal family. The royal Harry’s bound to end up like, ahead. Plus, why a potential return to the U.K. as a “private citizen” would never work.
A return to U.K. life and the royal family isn’t an option for Harry
According to royal author Tom Quinn, there’s no going back for Harry. The damage has been done. “I’m sure Harry will stay in the [United] States,” he said (via Express). “At least as long as his marriage lasts, because he doesn’t really have the choice to come back.”

When Peter Morgan announced The Crown‘s sixth season would be its last, there was already a wealth of royal drama to justify the show’s continuance. The spare had defected to America with his wife — and the fact that she was a divorcée and non-British made it all pretty full circle with where the show began, with Edward VIII abdicating for a similar destiny with Wallis Simpson. After departing the U.K. with so much urgency, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle then went very, very rogue by airing the palace’s dirtiest laundry for all the world to see in their jaw-dropping Oprah interview. For a firm family that’d always been so militant about abiding by protocol, a system of stricture The Crown showcased very well from start to finish, the Sussexes’ moves were and remain completely unprecedented. It was exactly the type of drama that fit the...

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, caught royal watchers by surprise in 2020 when they announced that they were stepping down from royal duties and moving to America. What was even more surprising for the royal family were the public shots the duke and duchess took at members of the Firm and the monarchy as a whole after they left.
At first, it seemed like the couple just wanted their truth out there. Somewhere along the line though the constant attacks on an institution that couldn’t fight back along with two very wealthy and privileged people always playing the victim card, got old. The Sussexes finally saw that themselves and in 2024, decided to do a complete rebrand and refrain from airing out any more dirty royal laundry.

Kate Middleton is scheduled to return to her duties as a senior royal family member in mid-April. However, a royal expert is already predicting a “nightmare” for the Princess of Wales. Her royal return coincides with two public offerings from beleaguered House of Windsor members Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.
Why is Kate Middleton’s royal return a ‘nightmare?’
Kate Middleton has been out of the public eye since undergoing abdominal surgery in January 2024. Her recovery period has been private. She should return to royal duties after the Easter holiday.
However, Daniela Elser from News.com.au reports that Kate could be overshadowed by two royals with troubled ties to the House of Windsor. This could lead to a “nightmare” return.

A model of Princess Diana’s personal jaguar, the door to Number 10 Downing Street and two porcelain corgis comprised some of the memorable The Crown props sold at auction last night, which raised more than $2M.
With an appearance from Alex Jennings, who played former King Edward VIII in the first two seasons of the Netflix smash, all of the props that were up for sale sold at the auction, which was held at Bonhams in London. The majority of proceeds will be donated by The Crown producer Left Bank to fund apprenticeships.
The sale of the 473 props landed around £1.7M ($2.15M), which was more than £1M ahead of the pre-sale estimate. The top-selling prop was the Jaguar used to portray Princess Diana’s personal car, which fetched more than £70,000.

Excerpts ahead of the book’s release include bombshell claims about everyone from the late monarch and Princess Diana to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Here are just a few.

According to a new book about the royal family, Prince Philip had a nasty nickname for Meghan Markle. Ironically, it refers to a former family member with a scandalous past.

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward is the author of a new book, My Mother and I. Seaward discussed the private nickname Prince Philip bestowed on Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s wife.
Philip, Queen Elizabeth’s husband for 73 years, reportedly wasn’t a fan of the former Suits star. But in turn, he gave her a nasty nickname representative of a similar royal wife.
Per an excerpt published by The New York Post, Seward wrote that the duke allegedly called Markle the “Duchess of Windsor.” This was reportedly a stinging reference to the title held by the much-maligned American socialite Wallis Simpson who married King Edward VII.

There is a German saying which translates as, “All bad things come in threes.” It is one Prince Andrew may well be uttering under his breath this weekend, with reports that the disgraced British royal is to the be the subject of yet another feature-length profile piece.
Andrew is already the central subject of two rival dramas, both inspired by his disastrous interview with the BBC’s Newsnight team in 2019, in which he attempted to restore his reputation but succeeded in only making things worse as he reflected without apology on his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. “I was too honourable,” was just one misguided comment that inspired his mother, the now late Queen Elizabeth II, to announce speedily that his royal highness title would no longer be used, and he would no longer be seen on public royal duty.

King Charles may follow in the footsteps of Danish Queen Margrethe, who recently abdicated the throne in favor of her son, Prince Frederik. Charles, 75, could follow the same path so his son Prince William could have the crown and enjoy a long reign similar to that of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. Here’s what an expert predicts.
Prince William could ascend to the top job in the royal family sooner than later: Here’s why
According to royal expert and biographer Phil Dampier, King Charles may allow Prince William to rise to the top job in the House of Windsor and take the crown earlier than expected. Traditionally, a monarch does not ascend to the throne until their predecessor has died.

King Charles‘ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Her reign spanned 70 years and made Charles the oldest and longest-serving heir apparent ever. Upon the queen’s death on Sept. 8, 2022, Charles ascended the throne. But because he assumed the job in his 70s at an age when most people are close to or have already retired, there’s been speculation about if and when he may abdicate and pass the crown on to his heir Prince William.
However, a royal commentator says don’t expect that to happen as there is only one reason King Charles would abdicate the throne.

Diana had long since shed her “Shy Di” nickname when she attended the Tate Gallery’s 100-year anniversary party on July 1, 1997, the day she turned 36.
“Diana’s eyes were the most expressive part of her body, showing her emotions like a mood board throughout her marriage to Charles and beyond,” James told Express. “From the age of 19, she had always seemed to have an expression of vulnerability and sadness as an ongoing option. Even when she smiled that doe-eyed look would tend to be there as a fall-back.”

The pair were invited by Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 shortly before she died, but declined. Now, there are reports that King Charles III has extended an invitation to the couple, but that apparently that isn’t the case as the new monarch is breaking with tradition and won’t be staying at the castle himself.

Because Prince William and Prince Harry spent their entire lives in the spotlight, some royal watchers used to feel like they knew them. They were seen as two brothers who were brought up in an insanely privileged lifestyle and poised to take on roles that few could ever understand. Then on Aug. 31, 1997, they lost their mother, Princess Diana, and people around the world mourned with them.
In the years following Diana’s death, the princes appeared closer than ever. Harry stood alongside William as the best man at his wedding, and William did the same for his younger brother seven years later. From the outside everything appeared fine. But there was a rift brewing behind the scenes. Harry later admitted to that in the documentary Harry and Meghan: An African Journey and during a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey.

King Charles‘ reign might be remembered not for its longevity or major events but for preparing Prince William to take the throne. Royal experts suggest that Charles’s reign will be all about “handing over the baton” to William, ensuring a smooth transition.
The prominent role William and Kate Middleton have played in recent royal events has only fueled these speculations. With Charles still in the early years of his reign, here’s a look at the potential shift in royal dynamics.
