Harry showed 'possible signs of struggle' at New York event

Harry, 40, is currently in town to promote his philanthropic projects without Meghan Markle.

Body language expert Judi James said: FEMALE EMAIL of his interaction with Queen Mathilde of Belgium: “As Harry and Mathilde walk in a group, it is Harry who appears to walk behind to emphasize the fact that he is no longer the only royal in the room in New York.

“His facial expression seems to have fallen into that 'haunted' look that is unfortunately a signature of Harry when he is not being upbeat and cheerful.”

Fergie rules out Prince Andrew's 'alternative' to Royal Lodge

An alternative home for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson has been ruled out after the Duchess of York put a luxury London property she owns up for sale for £16,000 a month.

The couple are now facing mounting pressure from King Charles to vacate the luxurious Royal Lodge, after the monarch withdrew privately funded security for the 30-bedroom mansion in late October.

A source said of the London townhouse, which is estimated to be worth £4.25million: “Moving into a luxury townhouse is a move most people could only dream of, and it would save the Yorks £200,000 a year – it's a no-brainer.

They added to the Daily Mail: “It is time for the Yorks to be independent, they have a long-term lease with the Crown Estate and if they can afford to live in Royal Lodge entirely independently they are most welcome, but they need adequate security for a building of that size.

“If they can find the money, fantastic, but if not, a smaller property would be much cheaper.”

Prince Andrew and his ex-wife have lived in the 30-room mansion since 2003, but it has extensive security requirements.

King Charles 'really disappointed' after birthday phone call with Prince Harry

King Charles was reportedly left “really disappointed” after calling Prince Harry to wish him a happy 40th birthday earlier this month.

But she admitted the recent call may have opened up old wounds from last year, when Harry called his father on his own birthday and had Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet sing to him.

She said Confidential Palace:“Charles is angry and hurt, but he is still his son at the end of the day, which is why it has always been said that, as much as he keeps his distance at the moment, he will never close that door on him completely.

“One thing I found out was how genuinely disappointed the King was in November when Harry called him not only to wish him a happy 75th birthday, but also to have his children make a little video singing happy birthday to the grandfather they barely see.”

He added: “Within hours of that happening, that was leaked from the Sussex side to the favoured media outlets and that really crossed the line in the sand for the Royal Family because very little of their lives is genuinely private.

“A lot of people live in public or even surrounded by staff watching everything they do. That’s why private conversations, particularly private phone calls, are considered just that.”

Prince Harry last saw the monarch for 45 minutes, reportedly, in February, following the announcement of her cancer diagnosis.
