Being a grandfather is complicated for King Charles III. Amid his ongoing rift with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the leader of the British royal family rarely gets to see Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 2. As a result, per a commentator, the king is likely “showering love” on the rest of his grandchildren to compensate.

Ever since it was announced in mid-January that the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) had abdominal surgery which required a lengthy recovery at home and a break from all royal engagements, there’s been speculation about her whereabouts.
For whatever reason, it seems inconceivable to some that the princess is really just taking time off to recover in the privacy of her Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor. Therefore, wild conspiracies have emerged which have led to the Waleses trying to calm things down. But their actions have made things worse and now a royal commentator believes they have to “play chess” with the media and the public.

Kate Middleton has long been one of the most admired members of the royal family. Since marrying Prince William in 2011 and officially becoming a princess, Kate has worked hard to build a reputation as one of the UK’s most-loved women.
And while she has hardly had a tarnish on her resume, the end of 2023 saw some serious allegations after royal author Omid Scobie’s book accused Kate of racism toward Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Prince Archie. Interestingly, though, a new poll finds that Kate’s popularity has only increased in the last year.

King Charles is hospitalized after an operation on his prostate and has been said to be doing well, as reported by Monsters and Critics.
The King made a point to release information about his enlarged prostate to encourage others to get theirs checked to avoid complications like cancer that can arise if untreated.
King Charles chose one specific hospital for his stay: the London Clinic, the UK’s largest independent private hospital in the London medical district.
As King, he would have his choice of any hospital in the world if he so chose, but he wanted this one for a good reason.
Last week, the world learned that Kate Middleton, his daughter-in-law, was in the London Clinic after abdominal surgery.
She is still hospitalized there, recovering from that surgery, and that is a big reason why King Charles chose this very hospital.

It seems King Charles III and Kate Middleton’s surgery announcements present a unique opportunity for Prince Harry. According to a royal commentator, the hospitalizations of the king and Princess of Wales provide the Duke of Sussex with a chance for some “positive” communication with the royal family.
King Charles’s enlarged prostate treatment and Kate’s ‘planned’ abdominal surgery
The royal family provided health updates on not just King Charles but also Kate via statements on Jan. 17, 2024.
Kensington Palace released a statement saying the 42-year-old had been admitted to the hospital on Jan. 16, 2024, for a “planned” abdominal surgery.
Although they didn’t specify the exact procedure Kate underwent, the palace noted she’s expected to stay in the hospital for 10-14 days. At that time, she’ll then be “returning home to continue her recovery.”
Furthermore, it’s “unlikely” to see Kate carrying out any official appearances until after Easter.

Kate Middleton’s 2023 certainly didn’t end how she’d expected. Back in late November, the Princess of Wales found herself in the midst of major reputation-defining incident when she was named as one of the royals who supposedly questioned Prince Archie’s skin color during Meghan Markle’s 2019 pregnancy.
However, Kate has fought hard for her reputation, and heading into 2024, she’s reportedly in a “good place” as she looks toward her royal future and leaves any drama in the past.

After ringing in a new year many people like to start fresh with a clean slate, and Meghan Markle is no different. In fact, we’ve been hearing for months that Prince Harry’s wife has been looking forward to 2024 as her redemption year and will be focusing on several new projects and business ventures.
But according to a royal commentator, one nagging problem from the end of 2023 “bruised” the duchess and is making it hard for her to totally move forward. And because of that Meghan is determined to “have her say” in the new year.

Some royal watchers pitted Meghan Markle and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) against each other the moment Meghan married Prince Harry. After the duke and duchess stepped down as working royals, there was a chance to calm all that chatter. But then Meghan spoke about Kate in the first few minutes of her televised interview with Oprah Winfrey by discussing their bridesmaid dress drama. Meghan also appeared to take a shot at her sister-in-law during the Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries when she claimed Kate wasn’t a “hugger.”
According to some royal experts, even though it’s been years since Meghan and Harry left the U.K. the duchess still harbors a lot of “jealousy” toward the princess for one reason.

The royal family has dealt with plenty of drama over the last few years — much of it coming from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle telling their side of what it was really like to be in the royal family. Harry and Meghan left the royal family back in 2020, and they have not celebrated a Christmas with the royals since 2018.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex once again did not spend Christmas with the royals in 2023, and this past holiday, the royal family appeared to make a low key “power move” that might have been a subtle dig at Harry and Meghan.

Prince William and Kate Middleton first met when Kate was hardly just an adult. The now-Princess of Wales was only 18 when she first crossed paths with the future king at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. William and Kate have been linked since they were about 20, and William apparently made a promise to Kate’s parents when he eventually married his future queen.
However, recent rumors and attacks on Kate have William reportedly feeling like he’s broken that promise, leaving him with guilt and anger, according to one royal expert.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle garnered a lot of attention in 2023, but much of it wasn’t the headlines they wanted. A few months after the fallout from the duke’s memoir Spare was their story about a “near-catastrophic car chase” through Manhattan that no one else could back up. Then in June, Spotify canceled the duchess’s podcast and ended their multi-million partnership before a company executive labeled the couple as “f****** grifters.” On top of that, the Sussexes were mocked by multiple comedians and the TV shows South Park and Family Guy.
The pair still had a chance to do something to try and end the year on a high note. But instead a book by Omid Scobie, the same author who wrote the Sussex-friendly biography Finding Freedom, released another book titled Endgame that didn’t do the prince and his wife any favors.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had a hard time winning with the British public ever since the two were married back in 2018. And even today, the feud is still bigger than ever between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
Recently, accusations from a book about the royal family suggested that Kate Middleton and King Charles were the family members who reportedly questioned Prince Archie’s skin color when Meghan was pregnant with her first child back in 2018 and 2019. And ever since the word was revealed, Harry and Meghan have not distanced themselves from the rumors. One royal expert thinks this could do permanent damage to the couple’s reputation.

Were Meghan Markle to someday pen a memoir, apparently, it wouldn’t stack up against Prince Harry’s. According to an author and royal correspondent, the reason isn’t Spare’s status as the fastest-selling non-fiction book. Nor its sheer number of bombshell claims. Rather, the author puts it down to a major difference between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as people and their respective approaches to speaking publicly.
Reports of possible Meghan Markle memoir
Since Harry’s memoir hit shelves on Jan. 10, 2023, or, more like the moment of Spare’s announcement, there’s been speculation surrounding a possible Meghan memoir.
Will she or won’t she? It’s a question that’s been asked many times by commentators and watchers alike. Topics Meghan could include range from marrying into the royal family to Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. And, of course, her and Harry’s relocation to California.

Prince Harry wasn’t “hurt” when a Spare passage about his “nether regions” became “fodder” for everyone from late-night talk show hosts to Saturday Night Live and people on social media. According to an author and royal correspondent, the Duke of Sussex took the ridicule in stride and likely relished having “made it.”
Harry ‘got it’ when ‘Spare’ frostbite passage became ‘great stand-up fodder’
Between bombshells in Spare — an alleged physical altercation with Prince William, royals leaking stories about each other — were some lighter things from Harry.
Enter the time the now-39-year-old got frostbite “down there.” Harry revealed in his memoir that after trekking to the North Pole, he came home with an unwelcome surprise below the waist: frostbite.

It was a big moment in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s 2022 death, a reunion of Prince William and Prince Harry. The estranged brothers, alongside their wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, made a joint public appearance outside Windsor Castle. According to a royal biography, they weren’t eager to do so. King Charles III reportedly pushed his oldest son, the Prince of Wales, to invite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan got a “pep talk” from staff.

Meghan Markle quietly attended a private Netflix event near her and Prince Harry’s Montecito, California, home before Omid Scobie’s Endgame book hit shelves and drama ensued. Photos of the Duchess of Sussex have since appeared. Like Meghan’s recent stroll through Santa Barbara, the images have been dissected by a body language expert. Here’s their take on Meghan’s Netflix event appearance involving a tricky chair, a “low-key” outfit, and signs of “tension.”

The holidays are a time of year when people get together with their families and loved ones to celebrate the festive period, and that’s no different for the royals. But after some back and forth on whether or not Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle, and their two children would get an invite to Sandringham to stay with the duke’s relatives for Christmas, it’s a foregone conclusion that’s not happening.
Many royal watchers predicted this as Prince William and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) are said to be extremely angry with the Sussexes and aren’t ready to sit down for Christmas dinner together. Now though it’s being reported that King Charles feels the same way because seeing Meghan and Harry would make him very “nervous” about something.

A few members of the royal family had their names dragged through the mud when a book titled Endgame hit the shelves in November 2023. The author is Omid Scobie who has often been referred to as Meghan Markle’s “mouthpiece.” Even though he denies that many royal watchers still believe he got his information for the book from Prince Harry’s wife.
Scobie discussed the subject of race in Endgame. First, he took aim at Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh describing her as “casually bigoted.” And in the Dutch version of the book alleged that the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) was one of the royals who questioned the Sussexes’ son Archie’s skin color before he was born. Now, a PR expert says the princess is using Queen Elizabeth II’s trick to cope with those negative headlines.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not been able to escape the spotlight since leaving the royal family back in 2020. While they have made appearances more on their terms, they have still often found themselves in the headlines in relation to the royal family. Earlier this year, royal author Omid Scobie released Endgame, his book about the royals that had some major bombshell claims — including a Dutch copy accidentally revealing the names behind the royals who allegedly questioned Prince Archie’s skin color.
Now, one body language expert says the Duchess of Sussex appeared ‘tense’ at a solo event without Prince Harry just days before Scobie’s book was released.

King Charles and Prince Harry have struggled to maintain a good relationship through the years. Charles and his son stopped speaking for a while back in 2020 — right around the time Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, decided to leave the royal family. For a while, things were not good between the two, but Harry and his dad have tried to reconcile a bit since.
Rumor has it the two men are on speaking terms, but they haven’t actually met face-to-face in quite some time. Now, a source close to the king says Charles has one specific demand he would need Harry to meet in order to have an in-person discussion with his younger son.

Anyone hoping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reunite with the royal family come Christmas, prepare to be disappointed. It’s looking like a no-go. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly not spending Christmas in England with their fellow royals, no matter how much King Charles III may want them to. The reason is ongoing “hostility” toward the couple and nerves about bringing them, even temporarily, back into the royal fold.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven’t exactly had the best relationship with the royals in recent years. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the royal family back in 2020 after a number of disagreements between the remaining royals as well as a feeling of no protection against the British press. Since then, Harry and Meghan have been living in California, and they have hardly had much contact with their British relatives.
Harry is reportedly working on his relationship with his father, King Charles, and one royal expert thinks that Harry and Meghan could someday return to the royal family — considering Camilla went from “the most hated” person to “the queen.”

It seems no member of the royal family is safe from the numerous allegations made in Endgame. The new book by Omid Scobie has leveled several claims against just about every working royal including Duchess Sophie (formerly the Countess of Wessex).
Many believe that the content in the book came directly from Meghan Markle because Scobie has often been referred to as the duchess’s “mouthpiece.” Although he has denied that Meghan had any involvement with the book plenty of royal watchers think if the information didn’t come directly from Prince Harry’s wife, it came from someone in her camp. That’s why Sophie is reportedly “fuming mad” at the author and Meghan over what’s been said about her in Endgame.

Given everything that has been said and all that has happened since Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from their roles as working royals, you’d think the last thing they would want to do is spend Christmas with the royal family.
But recently the duke and duchess hinted that they would be open to accepting an invite from the king to Sandringham for the holiday. That though was before several family members’ names were dragged through the mud with the book Endgame by Omid Scobie, who is thought to be close with Meghan. Now, it doesn’t seem likely that anyone is ready to sit down for Christmas dinner together.
Here’s what someone who used to work in the royal household said about the decision the royals and the Sussexes need to make.

Just as headlines about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s war with the royal family were dying down and fans were hopeful there might be a Christmas reunion, a new book shattered that.
In late November, Omid Scobie released a book about the royals titled Endgame. Meghan and Harry were thought to be involved in the book since the duchess admitted to giving the author information for his last book Finding Freedom. Scobie has also been referred to as Meghan’s “mouthpiece” in the past. Even though he denies it, many royal watchers still believe he got his content for Endgame from Meghan.
In the new book, it was claimed that the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) is one of the people who questioned the Sussexes’ son Archie’s skin color before he was born. Royals don’t publicly respond to gossipy allegations but an expert says...

King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles are about to host their second Sandringham Christmas celebration as the king and queen consort. Last year, the family celebrated their first traditional royal Christmas without Queen Elizabeth after her death at 96 in September 2022.
Charles and Camilla haven’t made too many changes to the monarchy or its rules since stepping into their new royal roles; however, they have reportedly expanded the Christmas dinner invite list. This year, the couple will host two surprising family members who have never received the coveted invite.

Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family have been at odds for quite some time. While things still aren’t perfect between Harry and his relatives, some relationships have been able to build back slightly better than others — namely his relationship with King Charles versus Prince William.
It remains unclear exactly where things stand between Harry and his father and brother, but rumors suggest Harry and Charles are working on their relationship while he doesn’t even speak to William. And that could cause serious problems for William and Charles in the future.

King Charles III’s coronation, which fell on Prince Archie’s birthday, saw Prince Harry attend the May 2023 ceremony without Meghan Markle. At the time, reports put the solo trip down to their son turning four. Now, however, royal author Omid Scobie claims the Duchess of Sussex’s reason for skipping the coronation went beyond Archie’s birthday. Supposedly, Meghan also wanted to avoid any “hysteria” surrounding a visit.
Meghan skipped the coronation to avoid ‘noise and hysteria’
Speaking to Elle magazine following the release of his latest book, Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival, Omid Scobie revisited the coronation.
Specifically, Meghan’s absence from the Westminster Abbey ceremony that saw her father-in-law crowned king. “I know her team spoke about [how] she wasn’t coming over for the coronation because of Archie’s birthday,” he said.
“But I also know,” Scobie went on, “from...

Best friends Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are not, nor were they ever. The Duchess of Sussex and Princess of Wales aren’t close. According to Omid Scobie, a royal correspondent and author, Kate and Meghan’s “lack” of a friendship can be traced back to the state of Prince Harry and Prince William’s relationship when the sisters-in-law first met. Namely, that the brothers weren’t at the time — and never were — particularly close.
Kate and Meghan ‘almost never had a chance to get that close’ because William and Harry were distant
“Meghan and Kate’s friendship or relationship or lack of, it’s largely down to even in those early days,” Scobie told the Associated Press while promoting the release of his Endgame book (via Daily Mail).
“And we didn’t know it at the time, but we have since learned due to Harry’s memoir because William...
