Kate Middleton spotted in public for first time since chemotherapy as Prince Harry arrives in New York – live

The Princess Royal, 73, is widely regarded as one of the hardest working members of the royal family but was forced to temporarily step back from her duties earlier this summer after she was kicked by a horse.

A post on the royal family's official Twitter account/X read: “This weekend The Princess Royal attended events in the Netherlands to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem.

“At the Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery, the Princess joined veterans, armed forces personnel and the general public in remembering them by laying a wreath at the Cross of Sacrifice.”

Harry, 40, began his visit at a glitzy dinner hosted by the World Health Organization in aid of survivors of childhood violence, which aimed to raise awareness of the impact this can have on mental health.

Royal expert Phil Dampier said The sun“It's significant that he's doing so much on his own now. They're living more separate lives as it seems Harry is trying to decide exactly what his future will be.

“I suspect Harry has felt like a spare part.

“He wants more rewarding roles for himself, so we may see him around more often. [in the UK].”

Kate, 42, attended church at the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire and was seen being led into the service at Crathie Kirk on Sunday (September 22) by the Prince of Wales.

Former royal security chief Dai Davies says he raised concerns with the royal family about the former Harrods owner, who is currently under investigation for allegedly raping and assaulting 37 women.

Mr Davies said News from heaven“I was horrified because I was already aware of some of the accusations that were circulating.

“I knew that he had tried very hard to ingratiate himself with the Royal Family and, obviously, he knew, as I did, the reputation he supposedly had. [to have] So I became worried and took the opportunity to inform the Royal Family.”

The monarch was told he was “on notice” in response to the revelation, and the princess and her children proceeded to holiday with Fayed and his son Dodi in Saint Tropez in July 1997.

Can the royal family and King Charles adapt to the modern era and remain relevant? Can Harry rejoin The Firm? And what will the next generation of royals look like?

These and more questions from our audience were answered in The IndependentVirtual event on the future of the royal family.

Hosted by assistant editor Victoria Harper, the panel features bestselling authors Anna Pasternak and Tessa Dunlop, as well as royal historian Jonathan Spangler.

Princess Diana's brother Earl Spencer has celebrated the 25th anniversary of his charity by inviting a choir to his family home.

At this event, 350 members of the Rock Choir performed 'Make Your Own Kind Of Music' at Althorp House in Northamptonshire today.

The performance will be used in a new music video to raise funds for the Diana Award.

Prince William previously said the charity was set up “to reflect my mother's belief that young people can change the world.”

It has been noted that the message, shared on the official Kensington Palace Twitter account/X, was not signed “W&C”, indicating it had not been written personally by the couple.

A palace source said: The Daily Beast:“It was just a company thing. Happy birthday, blah, blah, blah.”

The royal family shared images from the event today with the following statement: “Her Majesty visited @royalnavy crew members stationed in Scotland yesterday to thank them and their families for their service.

“In addition to meeting with serving personnel and their loved ones, the King boarded a Vanguard-class vessel and took a tour.

“Before leaving the submarine, His Majesty met with the submariners who have spent the most time under the waves.

“Thank you to all our Armed Forces for their service! To read more about the King’s visit, please visit http://Royal.uk”

A British socialite has claimed that Meghan Markle is keeping Prince Harry “under control” and has allegedly prevented him from celebrating his 40th birthday in style.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, reportedly had a low-key celebration with his family in California.

Lady Victoria Hervey said GB News“Forty is still very young. Men are quite youthful at that age. If he had the choice, he would probably have gone to England with many of his old friends, but she's not going to let him do that, is she?”

“I think she keeps him under control. You can tell, he is deprived of freedom. She is a kind of therapist and nanny and he depends on her a lot.”
