Update on King Charles' health amid hopes of Kate Middleton making 'autumn comeback' – Royal news live

The Princess of Wales is hoping to join the royal family at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday and perform her Christmas carol concert, according to reports.

Kate, who has undergone months of chemotherapy treatment for cancer, will “potentially” join the King on November 10 at the national service in Whitehall to honour those who died in the conflict, The Sunday Times said.

Planning is also said to be underway for her annual televised carol service Together At Christmas at Westminster Abbey in December, if she continues to have “more 'good mornings'”, the paper revealed.

Kate, 42, has made two official public appearances since her diagnosis: attending Trooping the Colour in June and presenting the men's Wimbledon trophy in July.

No date has been set for her return to public life, but the princess is understood to be holding more regular meetings while working from home, having enjoyed the summer with the Prince of Wales and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Sir Ian McKellen has claimed that the late Queen Elizabeth II was “quite rude to him” on occasions when they met.

The veteran British actor, 85, was knighted for services to the performing arts in 1991 and had met the Queen at least once when she personally made him a Companion of Honour (CH) for services to drama and equality in 2008.

Meghan Markle's new lifestyle brand has hit another alleged hurdle after being denied trademark registration.

While American Riviera Orchard has yet to officially release any of its products, several of them have been mocked on social media, including jams and dog biscuits.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) rejected the application because companies cannot register locations, The telegraphinformation.

“American Riviera” is commonly used to refer to Santa Barbara, California, where the former actress lives with her family.

The Independent has contacted a representative for the Duchess of Sussex for comment.

Sunday marks the second anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Charles is expected to attend church and spend time in private prayer and reflection on the anniversary, which falls during his summer holiday at his Aberdeenshire estate in the Scottish Highlands.

The source: “There will be personal thoughts, prayers and reflections.

“I'm sure it will be a very emotional day for everyone. How could it not be, especially considering the difficult year the whole family has been through?”

Cannon salutes are usually fired on Accession Day, but as this year's anniversary falls on a Sunday, when salutes are not traditionally fired, the military salute by the Royal Horse Artillery in Hyde Park and the Honourable Artillery Company at the Tower of London has been moved to Monday.

Both participating regiments were responsible for firing the Death Gun salutes to commemorate the death of Queen Elizabeth II two years ago, and almost all participating soldiers and horses played a part in the Queen's state funeral and proclamation of the King.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has paid tribute to the late Queen's “enduring legacy of service and devotion to our country” ahead of the second anniversary of her death, saying she “will never be forgotten”.

The country's longest-reigning monarch died peacefully at Balmoral Castle on 8 September 2022 at the age of 96.

Elizabeth II, whose reign lasted 70 years, dedicated her life to her royal duty.

The anniversary of his death and the King's accession to the throne is celebrated on Sunday.

Sir Keir said a new national memorial in her honour, to be located in St James's Park in the heart of London, would give “everyone a place to honour the late Queen and connect with the shared history we hold dear”.

Sir Ian McKellen has affirmed his support for Prince Harry as the duke's estrangement from his brother and father continues.

The veteran British actor, 85, told The Times he believed Harry was not “smart enough” to deal with royal-life turmoil.

Pointing to a copy of Harry's hard-hitting memoir Spare at his east London home, Sir Ian reportedly said: “I'm definitely on Harry's side.”

She added: “Imagine being born into the royal family. I’ve been in public life a bit, but these people are in prison. They can’t do anything normal. Can you imagine having to be nice to everyone you talk to?”

“I take my hat off to anyone who manages to keep their sanity in that world,” he said.

“Like the [late] The Duke of Edinburgh managed it, though even he was deeply eccentric and I suspect deeply unhappy. So it is with the current king. He survives in some ways, but is clearly damaged. As for Harry, he is probably not clever enough or has the right friends to help himself.

“Keep in mind that he chose all the most beautiful women in the world. I hope he chose the right one.”

“I’m sure the Queen was pretty angry at the end. And on the few occasions I met her she was pretty rude,” he said. The times“When I received a medal for acting (the Companion of Honour in 2008), she said: 'You've been doing this for so long.'

“I said, ‘Well, not as much as you.’ I got a real smile for that, but then he said, ‘Does anyone still go to the theater?’”

“It's very rude to give someone a medal for their performance. It meant, 'Does anyone give a shit about you because I don't care about you? Now go away!'”

The Burnley-born actor went on to demonstrate how the late Queen shook his hand, claiming she “pushed” him when he offered her his hand, adding: “That was her handshake and it meant, 'Go! Go!'”
