The Prince and Princess of Wales secretly donated to a London food bank that was robbed of thousands of pounds worth of goods days after Kate announced she had finished chemotherapy.
News of the royals' generosity was revealed by charity Pecan on X, formerly Twitter, which said they were in the process of “replenishing” stock at the looted warehouse following the incident on September 8.
“A huge thank you to @Kensingtonroyal who have donated to the recovery effort following the theft of £3000 worth of food supplies from @southwarkfoodbk,” the Christian charity wrote on September 13.
“Everyone at @Pecan121a is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from across society. We are now restocking our food supplies.”
Kate, 42, made the positive announcement about her health on Monday (September 9) in a touching video with her family where she reflected on an “incredibly tough” nine months.
The princess added that while her health remains her priority, she will eventually return to light duties “in the coming months.”
King Charles has 'ambition' to reconcile with Prince Harry
The last time the monarch saw his youngest son was for 45 minutes in February, following the announcement of his cancer diagnosis.
A family friend told me The Daily Beast“The King has made it very clear that he loves Harry and wants to be part of his life and that of his family.”
“Publicly wishing him a happy 40th birthday is entirely consistent with that ambition.”

Kate and William's birthday message to Harry “was not sent personally”
A source close to the couple has claimed that the birthday message from the Prince and Princess of Wales to Prince Harry was not sent personally by the couple.
They said The Daily Beast that if the message had been sent by the future king and queen, it would have been signed “W & C” like many of their other publications.
“It was just a company thing,” the source said. “Happy birthday, blah, blah, blah.”
The source added: “It makes sense that Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace would fall in line on some essentially routine messaging around Harry.
“This shows that William is willing to respect his father’s seniority and do what is asked of him.”

Prince William has “no interest” in getting close to Harry
Prince William is said to have “no interest” in reconnecting with Prince Harry, despite wishing him a happy 40th birthday on the official Kensington Palace channel.
A friend told me The Daily Beast“The honest truth is that William has no interest at this time in getting close to Harry and Meghan.
“He considers what Harry said in his book. [Spare] “It is unforgivable and, understandably given Catherine’s cancer diagnosis, he just wants to focus on his wife and family first and his work second. There is no room for a complicated reconciliation process with Harry. It is not a priority.”

Harry and William were “not close” before Diana's death
A royal expert has claimed that Prince Harry and Prince William were not close before the untimely death of their mother, Princess Diana, in 1997.
Biographer Ingrid Seward said The sun“I remember after William went on his sabbatical, during Operation Raleigh, Harry said 'he's much nicer now', so this myth that Harry and William were very close is a myth.
“They only became very close after their mother died. Of course, they bonded and they were the only people who knew what it felt like. But they weren’t very close when they were young.”
But while the brothers are said to have once been close, their relationship now appears to be worse than ever and they are said to have kept their distance when they recently attended the funeral of their uncle Lord Robert Fellowes.

Prince Philip may have met 'an alien called Janus in a Chelsea flat'
The creator of a new documentary exploring the royal family's alleged interest in extraterrestrial life has claimed that Prince Philip may have met “an alien called Janusy in a Chelsea flat”.
Before the launch of The king of UFOswhich will air on Amazon on September 20, director Mark Christopher Lee said the late Duke of Edinburgh was invited to the meeting because he was “a man of great vision.”
The 1954 meeting is said to have been organised by the late royal aide Sir Peter Horsley.
Mr. Lee said to the Metro:“Horsley wanted Phillip to meet with this Janus, as Janus had a message to give him: that the world needed saving, as Philip was a man of great vision.
“Philip did not attend the meeting – and Janus was most likely a Russian spy – but Horsley remained steadfast in his belief that Janus was not of this world.”
The director admitted in the documentary: “It could have happened. It’s a very, very strange encounter.”
