Royal family news latest: King Charles gives health update as Prince Harry ‘still obsesses’ over public image

A royal expert has claimed that the Duchess of Sussex “does not regret” upsetting the royal family.

Royal author Ingrid Seward said that the former actress is good at sticking by her decisions, regardless of the consequences.

She told GB News: “I don’t think Meghan regrets anything. She doesn’t seem to regret the fact that she never speaks to her own father, I still find that very strange.”

“She doesn’t seem to regret the fact that her first marriage failed. She doesn’t seem to regret that she’s upset the Royal Family,” Ms Seward added.

“I don’t think she’s a girl that has regrets. I think that she’s very strong and very determined.”

Netflix has announced the name and release date of its latest collaboration with the Duke of Sussex, POLO.

Harry, 39, has been a keen player of the sport for years.

“POLO is a new documentary series that follows elite global players and offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced world of the sport,” the streaming giant said in a statement.

“From Archewell Productions and Boardwalk Pictures. Premiering this December.”

A royal expert has claimed that Prince Harry will “not return” to royal life but needs to “monetise” his connections to the firm to survive.

“[The royal family], understandably, don’t trust him,” Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital.

“Expect more ‘quasi-royal’ overseas tours as these seem successful. Meghan’s upcoming Netflix program is pivotal, as they desperately need the contract, which expires next year.”

“Their future is in the US, not the UK,” he added. “But they obviously have to monetise their royal connections to survive.”

Harry and Meghan recently completed their second unofficial tour of the year to Colombia.

Prince William has today stressed the importance of “multi-national relationships” in international defence while giving a speech to graduates at the Royal Air Force College in Cranwell.

“I do want to take this moment though, to highlight not only the importance of your achievements to date, but also that of the roles you will play in supporting the futures of your countries’ air forces.

“I say ‘your countries’, as I know that in addition to our newest Royal Air Force officers on parade today, there are also officers from Jordan, Kenya, Pakistan and Uganda.

“Multi-national relationships are key to international defence, security, and peace.

“The relationships you have formed through training will be key in allowing you to achieve success in future roles, and enhancing the security of all our nations.”

William is a graduate of the Lincolnshire base himself and received his “wings” in 2008.

King Charles thanked the female rugby team from New Zealand for surprising him with a hug at Buckingham Palace yesterday.

“I much appreciated this chance to meet you and have such a warm hug from most of you,” he said before adding, “very healing”.

During the meeting, the king expressed his regret that he will not be able to visit New Zealand anytime soon “on doctor’s orders.”

King Charles was all smiles as he met with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.

Yesterday’s engagements also saw the king meet with New Zealand’s female rugby team at the palace, who gave the monarch an unexpected group hug.

Prince William has warned of the likelihood of the UK facing “future threats” during a speech at the Royal Air Force College in Cranwell today.

The heir to the throne, 42, said: “We live in a time of change and uncertainty, and you, as the future of the Royal Air Force, are the ones who will ensure that we are able to adapt and face future threats.”

William is himself a former search and rescue pilot.

Prince Harry wants to be warmly regarded in the UK after stepping down as a working member of the royal family, an expert has claimed.

“Over the years, Prince Harry has studied all the articles written about him,” broadcaster Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.

“He still obsesses over his public image here in the UK. He is on a mission to change public perception, desperate to be seen in glowing lights rather than the constant negative PR whirl that surrounds him.

“Prince Harry… is interested in turning his public image around.”

A new YouGov poll has found that the Duchess of Sussex’s popularity in the UK is soaring among Gen Zs.

The poll of 18 to 24-year-olds found that Meghan was seen favourably by 48 percent of respondents, and she has an overall net positivity rating of 18 percent.

To put this into context, Prince William has a net positivity rating of 20 percent amongst this group and the Princess of Wales has a net positivity rating of 23 percent.

A Northern Irish council has defended a controversial new statue of the late Queen Elizabeth II, which has been slammed by critics for failing to resemble the former queen.

The bronze statue, which was unveiled on Friday at Antrim Castle Gardens, evoked such strong opinions that some suggested it should be melted down.

A spokesperson for Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council told The Independent: “The Council is delighted with the generally positive response to the new Queen Elizabeth II sculpture in Antrim Castle Gardens.

“It acknowledges that art can sometimes spark diverse opinions, but it’s important to emphasise that the sculpture has been warmly received by most who have seen it in person. The statue beautifully captures Her Majesty’s grace and steadfastness, standing as a fitting tribute to her extraordinary life and reign.

“The Council is particularly pleased with how the sculpture complements its surroundings, standing adjacent to the statue of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and accompanied by two lovingly crafted corgis. This thoughtful arrangement has resonated strongly with visitors, who appreciate the personal touch it brings to the memorial, within the Gardens.”
