Opinion: Harry's whining interview sent my royal WhatsApp group wild
When public figures give an interview, they ask one thing first. When does it run? Timing can matter more than anything said. Last month the Lord Chamberlain wrote that the Sussexes were 'akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.' It appeared to put Harry and Meghan's noses out of joint. They quickly made it clear they reckoned they were 'public figures.' Very well. But the label comes with obligations. Noblesse oblige, as the French say.
Royal expert: Harry and Meghan's faux-royal tour exposed why they returned
As King Charles arrived in Cardiff to officially open the Senedd, the Welsh Parliament, on Thursday, a handful of anti-monarchy protesters standing outside urged members to walk out. Inside, he read his speech. Worthy but dull, as much of a constitutional monarch's work can be. But it still matters.
No one genuinely believes Harry and Meghan will ever apologize

Opinion: Reason for Harry and Meghan's stubborn refusal to apologize
When a family wants to make peace, someone picks up the phone or sends a note. Nobody floats the idea in a newspaper saying that you're thinking about it. The late Queen Elizabeth understood that. After the Oprah interview, her statement allowed that 'some recollections may vary' and promised the matter would 'be addressed by the family privately.' The principle still holds.
Earl Spencer: Diana would have been happy if she never married Charles
A New Yorker walking along West 20th Street on Tuesday night could hardly miss the fuss. A long line snaked along the pavement towards St Peter's Episcopal Church in Chelsea. 'Who is this guy, Earl?' he asked one of those waiting. 'His name is Charles.' 'So who is Earl, then?' 'That's his title.' Spencer had come to talk to the journalist Tina Brown about his new book, Swan Song. All the twenty-dollar tickets had sold out.

Opinion: What Charles told Camilla exposes truth about Earl Spencer's allegations
Robert Jobson These days, Buckingham Palace does not comment on books, as a matter of principle. It did not comment on Prince Harry 's Spare. I co-wrote Inspector Ken Wharfe's memoir Diana: Closely Guarded Secret in 2002 covering his years protecting the princess, and that was greeted with silence too. On Andrew Morton's brilliant bestseller Diana: Her True Story, all the palace said was that the princess had not co-operated. She had, of course.

Opinion: King's letter slapping down Harry and Meghan exposes unforeseen weakness
Four years ago, the Queen died at Balmoral. She was ninety-six. She had seemed immovable. She left a monarchy she had spent 70 years securing with no settled idea of what came next. Elizabeth II had served in uniform in the war, a driver and mechanic in the Auxiliary Territorial Service in 1945, our last monarch to do so. She was the last too of that special, indefatigable generation. Charles III's accession was read at the time as a new beginning. Instead, it has been a hard transition.

Opinion: Charles gave me his word but I fear a dreaded conclusion
Thomas Massie stood up in Congress this week and accused Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of committing sex crimes in the United States. Massie, Kentucky Republican, said it under privilege. Andrew denies the claims and has never been charged. The silence since Massie's explosive claims has been deafening. Nothing from the Palace. Nothing from the former prince, second son of the late Queen, whose titles went last year. His palatial home Royal Lodge went with them.

Opinion: There's only one way Harry and Meghan's new royal life can work
Apparently, the notices have already gone out to the British press and they are not here yet. Do not photograph or film Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's school. Why? Every news desk and picture desk in the UK works to a self-regulatory code. Clause 6: Children must be free to complete their time at school without unnecessary intrusion. Clause 2: Privacy. Signatory titles answer to the Independent Press Standards Organization (IPSO) for both. We have seen a version of this play before.
Report: What Kate told my close source makes me deeply worried
Robert Jobson Harry and Meghan's sudden decision to resettle in Britain has led many in the US to believe the King is sicker than anyone has admitted. I am told that is not the case. He was diagnosed with cancer . He is still in treatment. He is still working. True, nobody has spoken of remission. He is a sick man. But a brave one. That much is true. And people understand why a son would want to be closer to his father now.

Opinion: How Prince George's start at Eton will be different from William's
More than three decades ago, then aged 14, Prince William stood in front of the imposing red brick of Eton College, ready to embark on the first chapter of his teenage years. Just two years on from that moment, the future King was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, following his mother Princess Diana 's tragic death and the pain of his parents' very public divorce.

Prince George's Life Is Much Different Than Dad William's Was at 13, But He "Has Not Been Spared Pain," Says Author
Prince George will celebrate his 13th birthday on Wednesday, July 22, and this fall, he’ll head away from home to follow in his father’s boarding school footsteps at Eton College.

William leads Tributes to King Kev
The Prince of Wales today led the tributes to Kevin Keegan. He posted on X: “Incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Kevin Keegan. A truly remarkable footballer and manager who inspired generations with his talent, passion and love of the game. Above all, he will be remembered as a kind and generous man. Our thoughts are with his family and all who knew him. W” He ended on the man. William is a football man. He knew what he was saying.

For the latter, the "360" singer opted for a white Vivienne Westwood mini dress, which she swapped for a sheer Danielle Frankel slip gown at her second ceremony.
Dangerous Organised Chaos
The High Court has spoken. On Tuesday, Mr Justice Nicklin dismissed every allegation the Duke of Sussex and his fellow claimants brought against Associated Newspapers. All of them. A 436-page judgment. A comprehensive victory for the Daily Mail and for the free Press. Harry called it a whitewash. He would. Beaten in court, he then questioned the judge who had ruled against him. It was extraordinary. It was reckless. I have watched this prince - who is still fifth in the line of succession -for years.
Entitled by Andrew Lownie review: From Prince Charming to the duke of disgrace
By any measure, Prince Andrew’s public fall from grace has been both staggering and instructive. Entitled, Andrew Lownie’s devastating biography, delivers a coolly forensic account of how entitlement, poor judgment and institutional cover allowed the Queen’s second son — along with his former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York — to tumble from gilded privilege to ignominy. This isn’t just a royal biography.

Prince George Is “Reticent” About One Aspect of Royal Life, Reveals Royal Biographer
Prince George will become King one day, but Prince William and Princess Kate have been careful to give him as normal of a childhood as possible. Whether it’s playing with his dogs, Orla and Otto, or taking part in school sports, 12-year-old George has experienced a much different childhood than his grandfather, King Charles. However, royal biographer Robert Jobson has shared that the preteen prince still has to get used to one aspect of being a royal.

Opinion - The King has triumphed in the US — and opened a huge door for London

Opinion: The rift in the royal family that is about to get so much worse
The British monarchy has survived wars, revolutions and constitutional crises across a millennium. It may not survive one man: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. I have covered the Royal Family for 35 years. Diana's death. The annus horribilis. Harry and Meghan's exodus. None of it compares to this. The Epstein connection isn't fading. It is metastasizing. King Charles is a good man. Anyone who knows him will tell you that. When he finally became King after waiting seven decades, he wanted real change.

Opinion: How Prince Edward got revenge against his brother Andrew
He didn't flinch. When Prince Edward was asked about the Epstein scandal, his first thought was of the victims. CNN 's Eleni Giokos asked how he was coping with the crisis in which his disgraced brother Andrew is such a pivotal player when he was on stage at the World Governments Summit in Dubai . And the Duke of Edinburgh coolly played it back with a straight bat. ‘I think it's all really important always to remember the victims, and who are the victims in all this?
King Charles has ensured Andrew's 'total irrelevance'
(Getty Images) With the deadline to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s end of the month eviction from Royal Lodge fast approaching, critics want the King to take even tougher action against his disgraced brother. Already stripped of his military titles, royal patronages, HRH status, and princely title itself after years of Epstein scandal fallout, some argue it is absurd that Andrew remains eighth in line to the throne. So why won't Charles finish the job? The answer is simple: he can't.
