News about Prince Harry

Prince Harry is set to meet with his father King Charles for the second times since his shock cancer diagnosis next week. The Duke of Sussex will be at a ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games just two miles from where his father will be attending another event in London at the same time on Wednesday. Days after the King's diagnosis in February, the two talked for around half an hour.

Prince Harry , 39, is set to fly to the UK next week for the event but he will not be joined by his wife. A spokesman for the couple confirmed Meghan would not accompany her husband to a service at St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games on May 8. Instead the Duchess of Sussex, 42, will fly from the US to Nigeria to meet her husband for an official visit immediately afterwards. The mother-of-two is worried about coming back because she does not want to feel unwelcome by royalists at St Paul's for the second time, according to Richard Eden.

King Charles was embraced by his niece Zara Tindall today as he made a surprise appearance at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.  It marks the third public engagement by the 73-year-old monarch in four days as he returns to public-facing duties amid his treatment for cancer.  Zara beamed as she greeted her uncle at the Berkshire event, clearly relieved at the positive sign that he's recovering from his illness. 

Prince William (pictured left) has narrowly missed the title of Britain's favourite royal, according to a new poll conducted by the Independent. Participants ranked British royals on whether they seem 'favourable' or not. (Pictured right is the Prince and Princess of Wales with their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis)

Don't try this at Royal Ascot! Princess Diana's favourite milliner, Marina Killery, turned up for a charity luncheon in New York City wearing a hat decorated with marijuana leaves. 'I'm not quite sure how I settled on this, but it seems that my hat is going to be pretty dope,' she said before the event. While cannabis - strongly linked to severe mental health problems - remains illegal in this country, the State of New York legalised recreational possession of up to 3oz for adults over 21 three years ago.

Seeming, once again, to present themselves as an alternative royal family, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will undertake a very regal visit to Nigeria next week, following their royal tour of Africa in 2019 (pictured). Invited by the West African nation's highest-ranking military official, the Chief of Defence Staff, Prince Harry and Meghan are guaranteed to receive the sort of security which they expected British taxpayers to provide. Harry, you might recall, sought a judicial review of the Home Office 's decision to strip him, Meghan, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, of their automatic right to police security in Britain after they chose to quit royal duties and seek their fortune across the Atlantic. King Charles's younger son lost the case in February, with the action estimated to have cost him about £1million, including his own legal costs and those due to the Home Office. There will be no such worries for Harry and Meghan next week, when the security tab will be paid by the government of Nigeria, a country where an estimated 87million people live below the poverty line.

The Daily Mail's Andrew Pierce told this week's episode it seemed unlikely with Princess Kate receiving treatment for cancer and the stress that had been caused by Harry's book 'Spare'. But Mr Pierce and his co-host Sarah Vine both wanted the Duke of Sussex to use the visit to see his cancer-stricken father King Charles. It is believed Harry will fly to London next Wednesday for the Invictus Games' 10th anniversary ceremony as it is his son Prince Archie 's fifth birthday the day before. Mr Pierce did predict father and son will meet during the visit but was adamant the brothers would not.

When she was born at Kensington Palace on May 1, 1964, was seventh in the line of succession. Weighing 6lb and 2oz, she was the first direct descendant of a sovereign in 145 years - since Queen Victoria 's birth in 1819 - to have been born at Kensington Palace. And  the last royal to be born in a palace rather than a hospital. Her father, Anthony was not present for the birth but arrived an hour afterwards. Beaming, he then told the press: 'She's a super baby'. Sarah was two-and-a-half years younger than her brother, David. Her grandmothers - the Queen Mother and Lady Rosse - were among the first relatives to see her. Other family visitors included the Queen and Angus Ogilvy, the husband of Princess Alexandra.

A spokesman for the couple confirmed that Meghan would not accompany Prince Harry to a service at St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games for injured service personnel on May 8. But they said she would be at his side for an 'Invictus-inspired' visit to Africa immediately after the duke leaves the UK. Harry last returned to Britain in February for a brief 30-minute meeting with his father after it was announced that he was being treated for cancer.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: As the Duke of Sussex prepares to return to Britain to attend the tenth anniversary celebrations of the Invictus Games he founded, one of his closest allies is doing his bit to help mend fences with the Princes and Princess of Wales. Television presenter JJ Chalmers , who is a trustee of the Invictus Games Foundation, which organises the sporting event for injured and sick service personnel, has spoken publicly about how he identifies with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis following Catherine's cancer diagnosis. 'I was a similar age to George when my mum was diagnosed with cancer for the first time, so I know how it feels as a kid,' Chalmers tells me.

Today marks 13 years since Kate Middleton and Prince William, both 42, tied the knot in a fairytale ceremony at Westminster Abbey. And while many royal watchers were most excited to see what the now Princess of Wales would be wearing on her big day on April 29, 2011, others were distracted by the adorable bridesmaids and page boys. Among them were Master Tom Pettifer, son of Harry and William's childhood nanny, William Lowther-Pinkerton, Lady Louise Windsor , princess Margaret 's granddaughter Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones, and Camilla's granddaughter Eliza Lopes. And famously, Grace Van Cutsem, then three, went viral after with her scowl when the newly weds shared their first public kiss on the balcony. Here, FEMAIL takes a look at where Kate's young bridal party are now...

Nigerians are 'excited' to welcome their 'daughter' Meghan Markle for a royal visit with her husband next month after Prince Harry attends an event in London . Social media users with links to the country said they were 'overwhelmed with joy' and promised a 'celebration' to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Sussex . It comes after Meghan revealed in 2022 that she found out she was '43 per cent Nigerian' following genealogy research carried out 'a couple of years' prior. The couple will head to Nigeria after being invited by the African country's chief of defence staff, who met Harry last September at the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf. Daniel Egwu, who lives in Enugu in Nigeria, tweeted: 'I'm excited about this news! Our beloved sister, Meghan and our brother-in-law, Harry are welcome to Nigeria!' Another X user wrote: 'Harry and Meghan are coming to Nigeria in May! We cannot wait to welcome them! And our good sis is coming home for the first time. We have been waiting since she discovered she's a daughter of the soil.' And a third said: 'Meghan is coming to Nigeria with Prince Harry? Our 43 per cent Nigerian sister? Ah! It's about to be a celebration! We are about to show off!'

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to travel to the African country in May after being invited by its chief of defence staff to take part in 'cultural activities' and meet service members on an unofficial visit. One royal commentator accused the couple of 'playing the "Royal Card"' as their 'income lifeline' while another said it was 'ironic' the couple are happy to visit Commonwealth countries but not as official royal ambassadors.

The pair became friends at St Andrew's University (left) - with the early days of their romance recently dramatised in the final season of The Crown - and that connection blossomed into romance. Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in October 2010 and the couple now share three children George, Charlotte and Louis (inset).

Former detectives have called on police WhatsApp groups where 'messages beyond the pale' are allowed to be written in plain sight, to be monitored and pleading with officers to be particularly careful about what they say on social media. It comes after the grieving mother of Nottingham stab victim Barnaby Webber made a heartfelt plea this week urging officers to show more compassion after her son's body was described as being 'properly butchered' in an appalling WhatsApp chat. However it is not the first time that bereaved families - who have lost loved ones in the worst circumstances imaginable - have been subjected to 'more trauma' at the hands of officers working on the cases.

It was one of the feel-good moments of the decade - the union of Prince William, handsome heir to the throne, and elegant commoner Catherine Middleton on April 29, 2011. Even the British weather agreed, with the clouds parting has the new husband and wife emerged from Westminster Abbey to greet the public - and found themselves bathed in golden spring sunshine. Many of us still have fond memories of those moments. And today, on the anniversary of the Waleses' wedding, we hope to jog a few of those with this A-Z of a glorious occasion.

The Duke of Sussex will fly to the west African country to join Meghan just days after his return to Britain for the Invictus Games 10th anniversary in his first visit since Kate Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis. The couple have been invited to Nigeria by the country's chief of defence staff, who met Harry in Germany last September at the Invictus Games Dusseldorf. They will meet service members and their families and participate in 'traditional cultural activities, according to Nigerian media. The Sussexes quit the UK and moved to America when they stepped down as working royals in January 2020.

Prince Harry went to Afghanistan as an infantryman in 2008, before training as a pilot and returning as an Apache gunner in 2012, when he was 27. In his memoir Spare, Harry detailed that he had killed 25 Taliban fighters. He also wrote that he did not think of those killed 'as people' but instead 'chess pieces' he had taken off the board. Steve Jones, Harry's Apache helicopter instructor, criticised the Duke for revealing his kill count, describing the individuals killed as 'real people' with families.

Prince Harry is set to be joined by a British actor when he returns to London on May 8 to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games, the sports competition he established for wounded military personnel. The Duke will attend a 'service of thanksgiving ' at St Paul's Cathedral, according to the games' foundation -  along with actor Damian Lewis and representatives from the Invictus Games participating nations. Harry revealed he would want Lewis - best known for his role as Nicholas Brody in Homeland - to play him on The Crown during an appearance on 'The Late Show' with James Corden in 2021.

Prince Harry is set to return to Britain in just a few days for the Invictus Games 10th anniversary, but he will likely come solo as Meghan stays in Montecito. An Invictus Games spokesperson confirmed the Duke of Sussex will attend the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday 8 May. Actor Damian Lewis is expected to recite the Invictus poem at St Paul's for the anniversary of the games for injured servicemen and women. A statement published on the Invictus Games' social media read: "The Invictus Games Foundation will celebrate 10 years of changing lives and saving lives with a 'Service of Thanksgiving' at St Paul's Cathedral on May 8th. 'We will be joined by our Patron, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, actor Damian Lewis and members of the worldwide Invictus Community to mark the occasion."

EMILY PRESCOTT: Four years after turning their back on Britain, have Prince Harry and Meghan taken the first tentative steps to finding a bridge between them and the Royal Family? I can reveal the couple's new PR man in the UK and Europe is linked to one of the King's most trusted former advisers - and insiders predict the connection may help the Sussexes rebuild their tattered relationship with the Palace. Charlie Gipson was last week appointed as UK director of communications for their charitable foundation Archewell. The move came four years after they swore never to engage with the British press again.

The Duchess of Sussex has sent out 50 jars of jam from the first batch, many of which have gone to her exclusive Montecito pals - but who is in the running for the top five jars? As Instagram posts trickle in showing the ruby-red jam set amid bright yellow lemons, fans are able to paint a picture of the type of customer Meghan wishes to appeal to - but which lucky people received the very first jars of the product?

The Duke of Sussex, 39, wore an assortment of medals on his jacket as he named combat medic Sergeant First Class Elizabeth Marks the Military Times Soldier of the Year, including three marking his grandmother's various Jubilees this century. Royal observers were quick to point out that absent from the prince's lapels was the Coronation medal given to him and others who were involved in King Charles' formal ascension to the throne last May. Experts believe the absence of the honour could be a snub to his father. The medals also match those Harry chose to wear as he attended the Coronation. However, critics on social media have now criticised Harry's decision to wear the medals at all, dubbing them 'participation medals' and asking: 'Out of everyone in the world they chose Harry?!'

The Duchess of Sussex was unable to fulfil her ambitions within the Royal Family . Now, she seems to be struggling to achieve them outside it as well. Meghan has failed to find a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for her new cooking and lifestyle business, American Riviera Orchard, despite having interviewed several candidates for the position and having began the search five weeks ago. 'The initial CEO search has not panned out so far,' a California-based source said. And her apparent difficulties have led to an intriguing new development: Meghan has begun negotiations with Netflix about the American streaming giant entering into a commercial partnership with American Riviera Orchard.
