Members of the British Royal Family often attract criticism for not joining in with large gatherings of European royals for events such as significant birthdays. However one expert has said that this is entirely unwarranted as it would be far better to see the royals continuing to work hard at home and shining a light on their various charities.The argument has reared its head again after Prince Christian of Denmark celebrated his 18th birthday and was photographed with four future Queens - the latest in a long line of photographs of European heirs without any British royal in the mix.

Prince Harry allegedly has enough material for another book, following the publication of his controversial memoir Spare at the beginning of this year. Now residing in California away from his royal relatives with wife Meghan Markle and their two young children, the 39-year-old Duke of Sussex unleashed revelation after revelation within Spare's pages, much to the apparent upset of dad King Charles III and brother Prince William.

It was recently said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are "deliberately trying to maintain a disconnect" with members of the Royal Family, with another leading expert agreeing the couple are doing nothing to heal the divide.The comments come after it emerged that Harry and Meghan are reportedly looking to buy their own home in London to give them a base in Harry's home country. It's been said they want to "purchase a home themselves" instead of asking King Charles for a property on a royal estate.This latest move would bring the pair closer to home but commentators are unanimous in saying they have no intentions to provide an olive branch after the hurt they've caused.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been on their way to becoming fully-fledged Hollywood celebrities ever since they stepped back from their senior royal roles and relocated to the US. While they have scored a number of lucrative deals thanks to their positions, one of the latest suggestions for a commercial association has raised eyebrows.

Netflix's The Crown first came to our screens in 2016 and proved an instant hit as we awed at Claire Foy's depiction of a very young Queen Elizabeth II coming to terms with the death of her father and balancing her new role with her young family. As well as Claire, the show sparkled with a bevvy of wonderful actors - such as Matt Smith as Prince Philip, Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret and Victoria Hamilton as the newly-widowed Queen Mother.

It was revealed recently that King Charles and Queen Camilla will be jetting off to Kenya for their first major long haul tour between October 31 and November 3.The visit is significant for more reasons than one - least of all because it was the place where Queen Elizabeth II was when she heard that her father, King George VI, had passed away at the age of 56. The country also has a deep connection for the Prince and Princess of Wales as they became engaged there during a private holiday in 2010. As well as family ties, the tour will provide the perfect opportunity for the King to learn and speak about the country's painful history.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been praised time and time again for their modern approach to official royal duties and the series of modernisations they have already introduced since they took on their new roles. Among a long list of examples is the way they are raising their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Prince Louis has cemented his position as the cheekiest young royal with his funny antics over the years, and, as he heads off on his half term holidays this week, how will he spend his time? While there will surely be adventures galore, something that is certain is that this break from school will be different from previous ones as the family are starting to have to juggle the three children's different needs. With his school exams looming, Prince George may have to take centre stage in his parent's eyes as he continues his revision, but how will Charlotte and Louis fare? “William and Kate have three children with very different demands.

Like lots of children across the UK this week, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have left the classroom behind them to enjoy their school half-term holiday. And there’s another familiar scenario playing out too as their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, juggle the young royals’ very different focuses.

It was revealed last month that the Princess of Wales will not travel with Prince William to Singapore in November for the Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony and will instead stay at home in Windsor and support Prince George, 10, through his school exams - those of which will decide if he enters a top-ranking school such as Eton College. All three are now students at the Berkshire-based prep school Lambrook, located just a stone’s throw from the family’s home of Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate.

Despite being the Head of State, it was recently claimed that King Charles came to an arrangement with the Prince of Wales to "gain back control" after the younger couple's popularity continues to go from strength to strength. It was said that the father and son duo had come up with a deal to rebalance the scales in terms of the public's perception, with the Daily Express reporting that the monarch is concerned that the spotlight is being shifted to Prince William and Kate. Regardless of the reports, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond does not believe the King would have organised a meeting to discuss the subject with his heir.

It was revealed earlier this year that senior members of the royal family are gearing up for two years of worldwide tours in a bid "to keep Commonwealth intact" in a "soft democracy" blitz. Among the most vital visits will be one to Australia, with it being predicted that a tour would be planned for next year to tie into King Charles' appearance at the Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting in Samoa.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision to forge a career away from the Royal Family continues after several of their projects, including their deal with Spotify, fell through. While the couple often appear as spokespeople for causes they are passionate about, there is another career path open to Meghan that is rumoured to be a real possibility for the former actress. A move into US politics has seen Meghan be billed as "an interesting candidate", as she has never been one to shy away from expressing her opinion - whether it was on the controversial Roe V Wade ruling or making her opposition to former US President Donald Trump clear.

Princess Eugenie has shared an adorable new family photo to mark five years since she and husband Jack Brooksbank tied the knot. The pair, who share two children together, got married five years ago on 12 October 2018 and tied the knot in a stunning ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor which was attended by celebrities including Pixie Geldof and Robbie Williams. To celebrate the pair’s special anniversary, 33 year old Eugenie shared a montage video on Instagram which was filled with pictures and videos from the big day before giving fans a glimpse of how her and Jack’s life has changed since then.

It was recently confirmed that the King will allow the Duke of York to remain at his Royal Lodge home on the Windsor Estate, rather than push for him to relocate to a smaller residence.

Instead, the devoted mother-of-three will stay at home in Windsor and support Prince George, 10, through his school exams - those of which will decide if he enters a top-ranking school such as Eton College. Despite some initial sadness that the Princess will not be in attendance at the awards ceremony, after she showed her support during the first year in London and the second in Boston, a leading royal expert has heralded the move as the "best decision".

Back in the 90s it was all about the ‘Diana Effect’ - the late royal’s style choices making headlines across the globe. But now in 2023, the ‘Kate Era’ is with us, and it’s here to stay. But gone are the floaty dresses that the Princess of Wales made her trademark.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have worked incredibly hard to protect the privacy that their three children are afforded. But as the years go by, they are slowly introducing them to the importance of royal engagements.This gentle upbringing, largely governed by the modern principles in early years development, is something that former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond feels will serve Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis well in the future.

Thanks to her extensive and impressive work in the field of early years development, the Princess of Wales is in the perfect position to practice what she preaches at home with her own children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. As well as this modern approach, Kate has her own family upbringing to look to which is undoubtedly a source of great strength as both she and Prince William juggle their official duties with raising their young family.

Kate Middleton has found a new confidant in the royal family following years of feuding with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Express that it’s “unlikely ever to see Meghan in the same frame as [Prince] William and Kate.”Irving went on: “I don’t think [Markle] is comfortable with them because they’re not comfortable with her. I think it’s basically Harry’s appearances that will matter now, not her.” He added that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not using their royal status to become celebrities and are building their media empire on their own.“Harry and Meghan’s celebrity used to rest on the former’s connection to the royal family, but they’ve now been celebrities in their own right for so long that they don’t need to trade on that anymore,” Irving said.He continued: “That’s no longer part of their lives.”Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, moved to California in 2020 once they stepped away from the royal family.He also discussed how Markle won’t be attending many royal engagements anymore as she allegedly doesn’t want to be “accused of embarrassing” King Charles or “being a burden on the monarchy.”Middleton and Markle have not always been the best of friends, with a rift between the sister-in-laws bubbling over in the last few years.The Invictus Games founder even described the tense relationship between the two women in his recent memoir, “Spare,” noting their fight over Markle’s bridesmaid dress fitting in 2018.

In the fishbowl of royal life, there are very few people those at the very top can trust, so it must be a great joy and a relief to find an ally behind palace walls. That is exactly what has happened for the Prince and Princess of Wales as they have both formed a close bond with the Duchess of Edinburgh over the years thanks to her dedication to duty, devotion to her charities and all-round discretion.

Kate Middleton and her family have remained an "extremely close unit" despite shooting to worldwide fame, a royal expert said. Since Kate tied the knot with Prince William on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey - the Middleton family have remained in the spotlight as relatives of the future Queen and are often spotted supporting the Royal Family.The family made up of parents, Carole and Michael along with their three children, Kate, Pippa and James Middleton no doubt have pressures when it comes to being in the public eye, but seem to have taken it in their stride.

With the King and Queen currently undertaking the second official tour of the new reign in France, a royal expert explains why it is more important than ever that the royals launch a "charm offensive" in the Commonwealth.Their Majesties previously visited Germany and were due to travel to France on the same tour but were forced to reschedule - at President Macron's request - after riots in the French Capital made it too dangerous. With two visits to Europe under his belt, and no announced plans for any tours in any major Commonwealth countries, questions have been asked when the King will travel to other countries where he is Head of State, such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada.This is especially true after ongoing suggestions that some realms may wish to follow in Barbados' example and strike out on their own.
