'Dashing' Prince William is 'new royal favourite' as he 'exudes confidence'

But despite the sad outcome for the Matildas, the next in line to the British throne has encouraged them to keep their chins up and be proud of their history-making efforts in the competition.

going to see the “Barbie” movie with a group of girlfriends, there seemed to be something missing from the day: a public birthday shoutout from her in-laws.However, one royal expert believes there’s a reason why the royal family stayed radio silent on Markle’s special day, and that’s because they may have run the risk of looking “fake.”“I just think that they probably felt it looked a bit fake, given the whole world knows they’re not really speaking much at the moment,” royal historian Tessa Dunlop recently told UK’s OK! Magazine.“I think it would have looked a bit disingenuous, probably to slap photos up there with really no noticeable communication going on behind the scenes,” she continued.Dunlop also added that she thinks there’s been a “firmer line drawn in the sand” between the Sussexes and the royal family, especially off the heels of Prince Harry’s bombshell January tell-all memoir, “Spare,” and their December Netflix docu-series, “Harry & Meghan.”In both of the projects, the couple made many allegations about the royal family — including Prince Harry’s claim in “Spare” that his brother, Prince William, 41, physically “attacked” him during a spat over Markle before they stepped down from their roles as senior royals in 2020. Markle also told her alleged side of the story to Oprah in a sit-down interview, which aired in March 2021.

The late Queen Elizabeth was an important woman of many names, titles and styles, some of which were also private family nicknames, with a particularly hilarious one being given to her by a young Prince William.

spare?Prince Harry, 38, is still looking for an apology from his family, according to one royal expert, as tensions continue to rage on.“Prince Harry allegedly still wants and expects a full apology, [and] ‘recollections may vary’ continues to be the royals’ perspective on things as much as we can tell,” royal biographer Gareth Russell told Us Weekly this week, referencing the royal response to the couple’s 2021 blockbuster interview with Oprah Winfrey. Russell was asked if Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, 42, will be invited to join the royal family in their commemoration of the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September.“I suppose we’ll find out one way or the other someday, whether they were invited, but I would be stunned if they had said yes and went to it,” Russell said.The author of “The Palace: From the Tudors to the Windsors, 500 Years of British History at Hampton Court,” due out Dec.

UK’s Closer Weekly.“Kate has been in touch with Harry to tell him to keep his chin up and not worry too much about these temporary setbacks,” an unidentified source claimed to the outlet last week.The source also alleged that throughout the familial turmoil, Middleton’s relationship with Harry has “remained intact.”“She feels very sorry for him right now,” the source continued. “Seeing him go through all these setbacks is very difficult to witness and it tugs at her heartstrings — especially as his court trial is taking place so close to their home.”The Post reached out to representatives for Harry and Kensington Palace for comment.Harry visited London in June to testify against the publisher of UK’s Daily Mirror as part of his ongoing claim that its journalists hacked his phone years ago.Meanwhile, he was granted an allowance last month to take News Group Newspapers to trial over allegations it used “illegal methods” to gather information against him, according to People.

Prince William is now in charge of Prince Harry’s former military unit — by order of their father, King Charles III.

King Charles III has bestowed new military titles to Prince William, the next in line to the British royal throne and his eldest son, as well as his wife, Kate Middleton.

Lady Violet Manners, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, revealed in an interview that the couple is doing a “remarkable” job representing the Firm — while also gearing up for the task ahead.The Prince of Wales, 41, is first in line for the British throne, following his father, King Charles.

Follow OK! on Threads here: https://www.threads.net/@ok_mag The British monarchy has always had strong women at its heart and never more so than in the 21st Century. But until now, one of them hasn’t received quite the recognition she rightly deserves: Princess Beatrice. As she celebrates her 35th birthday this week, some are even dubbing her the royals’ “secret weapon” – more carefree than the Duchess of Edinburgh, more down to earth than The Princess Royal and more relatable than the polished Princess of Wales.

Stranger things have happened.Meghan Markle, 42, and Prince Harry, 38, have purchased the screen rights to the popular new release “Meet Me at the Lake” to turn it into a film for Netflix, The Post can confirm — and according to one PR expert, the project could “break records.” “Harry and Meghan are no strangers to attracting millions of eyes upon what they do and this will be no different,” publicity coach Mayah Riaz recently told The Mirror. “I believe the film could hit record number in the first week at the box office.”Riaz added that the numbers could even compare to Greta Gerwig’s recently released “Barbie” movie, which hit $1 billion in global ticket sales over the weekend.

The Order of Succession is something that cannot be altered by personal preference. While the British royals understand this, it would seem that one foreign country had not grasped this as they made a rather strange offer to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1994. Huge socio-political change in the country at the time prompted them to ask the late Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward, to serve as their head of state.The unusual offer was called "charming" but had to be sensibly declined by Buckingham Palace.

failed production attempts, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have found themselves yet another Hollywood venture.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have purchased the screen rights to the popular romantic new release “Meet Me at the Lake,” by Carley Fortune, to turn it into a film for Netflix, The Sun reports.The novel, which spent six weeks on The New York Times bestsellers list since its May release, follows a 30-something woman, whose mother dies in a car crash, and her ensuing love story. Per Deadline, the Canada-set novel explores themes of “childhood trauma, including losing a parent in a car crash, mental health challenges and post-natal depression.”The book resembles Harry’s own life — his mother, Princess Diana, died in a Paris car crash in 1997.

The late Queen was well regarded for watching her diet and preferred simple dishes with lots of fruit and vegetables over heavy sauces. Another royal who has become famed for leading an incredibly healthy lifestyle is The Princess of Wales.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have access to four homes across the UK - but just like everyone else they can't resist a tropical getaway from time to time.

Nicholl added that Harry’s life in the United States with Markle, 41, and their kids is “very different” from that of his relatives.“You have to wonder whether the novelty of that has worn off,” she said.But the former actress and the Invictus Games founder were reportedly given an “open invitation” by King Charles to visit Balmoral, according to the Daily Mail.Royal editor Rebecca English wrote for the publication late last month: “All family members, I am told, are expected to stay at some point over the next few weeks.

Sorted Food recently to dish out plant-based burgers for fans in honor of his charity, Earthshot Prize.While flipping and grilling the veggie-filled patties, the bald-headed royal made a hilarious joke about his hair.“I don’t know if you guys have heard about the Earthshot Prize, but it’s an initiative I started about two years ago now — but it’s been about four years in the making.”“I had hair when it started,” William quipped in a YouTube video shared on Sunday.William — who was dethroned as the world’s sexiest bald man by Vin Diesel last year — has often made light of his receding hairline.When his oldest son Prince George was born in 2013, he noted how he has “got way more [hair] than me, thank God.”In 2014, when he and his wife Kate Middleton, 41, attended an event at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, she also teased him about his mane. As the royal pair were shown a sheath of alpaca wool, exhibitor Lyn Crejan recalled: “The Princess said he should put it on his head.”“She said, ‘You need it more than me,’ and pointed to his head and he laughed,” Crejan explained.His nude noggin also inspired Middleton to give him the nickname “baldy.”William’s now-estranged brother Prince Harry, 38, took a jab at his progressive hair loss in his bombshell memoir “Spare,” calling William’s dwindling hair “alarming” and “more advanced than mine.”Actor Rob Lowe also once bemoaned the former Royal Air Force solider in regards to his tresses — or lack thereof.The “Parks and Recreation” star, 59, was asked by The Telegraph in a 2019 interview if he believes if he’s more or less conceited than a British man.“That’s a low bar.

I doubt William and Kate can forgive Harry,” he explained.A source had also claimed to the publication that Harry called William recently in an attempt to end their feud.
