Prince Harry has overruled Meghan Markle in a key decision regarding the future of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, according to reports.
While the Duchess of Sussex wanted to bring her young children into the public eye, the Duke did not think this was wise and they will not appear in her upcoming Netflix shows.
A source said The sun on Sunday“Harry and Meghan have not always seen eye to eye on how much media exposure their children should have, but in this case, Harry has clearly won.”
Meghan's upcoming cooking show, which is believed to be released first, will be filmed at a nearby mansion rather than the couple's £11million home to protect Archie and Lilibet's privacy.
This comes as King Charles meets privately with grieving families and those affected by the Southport attack in London.
The monarch visited Southport to express his “sympathy and empathy” for the town, which is still in shock following the stabbing on July 29 which left three children dead.
He then met privately with grieving families in London.
Donald Trump responds to accusations that the Queen called him “rude”
Donald Trump has strongly denied claims in a new biography of Queen Elizabeth II that she found him “rude”.
Craig Brown's upcoming biography 'A Voyage Around the Queen' claims she found him “very rude”.
But Trump hit back, accusing the author of being a “scoundrel” and claiming that “he was his favorite president,” according to the Daily Mail.
The presidential candidate said the allegations were “totally false” and added: “I had a great relationship with the queen. She loved me and I loved her.”
In an excerpt from the biography published by the Daily Mail, Brown also claimed that the Queen believed Trump “must have some sort of arrangement” with Melania, as the only explainable reason she would marry him.

Prince Harry reveals which member of the royal family called him 'sober'
The current king reportedly made the following comment at the time of Harry's birth in 1984, telling the late Princess Diana: “Wonderful! You have now given me an heir and a replacement; my work is done.”
The Guardian claims that Harry's distaste for the title was reflected in his memoir of the same name.
The paper wrote in its review: “Harry’s resentment at being the ‘nephew’ is the underlying theme of his book, through chapters on his childhood, his upbringing, his career as a royal and in the British military, his relationship with his parents and brother, and his life with Meghan through courtship, wedding and marriage, to his own experience of fatherhood.”

Colombia's vice president opens up about Sussex trip controversy
Harry and Meghan visited Colombia for a four-day tour last week at the invitation of Vice President Francia Márquez.
Many in Colombia criticised the move, believing it was an attempt to distract attention from the political and economic failings of the incumbent government, and potentially an attempt at self-promotion by Ms Marquez.
The funding of the trip came under scrutiny as questions arose over who was paying for the Sussexes' visit, including their full security.
In a statement released by her office, Ms Marquez has now set the record straight, saying it was a joint effort.
“This visit was the result of a collective effort. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex financed their trip and that of their team from their own resources,” the statement reads.
“The events held in the various places visited were co-financed with resources from international cooperation and philanthropy that generously contributed to this visit.
“The Ministry of Equality and Equity and the Vice-Presidency guaranteed the technical requirements, mobility and participation of young people, women and communities.”

William will see Harry 'one more time in his life in person'
Following claims that Prince William does not want Prince Harry to be at his coronation, a friend has claimed the estranged brothers will meet one last time in person.
Their relationship has deteriorated steadily since Harry stepped down as a senior royal in 2020 and they were not photographed together at King Charles' coronation.
In his 2023 memoirs ReplacementHarry sensationally claimed that he was physically attacked by his older brother.
A friend of the heir to the throne told him The Daily Beast“I suspect William will see Harry one last time in his life in person: at his father’s funeral.”

Emily Maitlis weighs in on Prince Andrew's guilt
Five years after Prince Andrew met Emily Maitlis at Buckingham Palace, a three-part drama about how the world-famous interview came about will be released next month.
Ahead of its release on Amazon Prime, former Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis has spoken out in the Times about her views on Prince Andrew's guilt.
Maitlis recalls speaking to Ruth Wilson, star of Luther and Jane Eyre, who asks her if she thinks the royals are guilty.
“I tell you there is no way I or anyone else will ever know the full truth of what happened to Virginia Giuffre, the trafficking victim of Jeffrey Epstein who claims she was also abused by the royal,” Maitlis writes.
“But she was clearly guilty of other things: her continued friendship with Epstein after his arrest, her indifferent response to victims of sex trafficking.”
The series will premiere on September 19.

William and Kate 'throw pillows at each other' during arguments, source says
Kate Middleton uses a “secret weapon” to calm her husband William when he throws a tantrum, a source has revealed.
According to the Mirror, the Prince and Princess of Wales are used to “terrible fights” and Kate knows very well how to deal with Prince William.
A source who once worked for the future King and Queen at Kensington Palace said Kate often treats her husband like a “fourth child” because he is “prone to tantrums.”
When things get really tense, they throw things at each other, but never anything that could hurt each other. “William and Kate throw pillows at each other. They always keep it under control.”
