Royal Family LIVE: Harry slammed as ‘toxic influence’ after King snub | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

Prince Harry has been branded a “toxic influence” by one journalist after King Charles failed to reunite with his son during his stint in London. The Duke of Sussex flew into the UK earlier this week to attend the Invictus Games 10th anniversary service at St Paul’s Cathedral, and he had hoped to be able to see his father while they were in the same city. But a spokesperson for Harry later confirmed that the King’s packed schedule had made this impossible, with many speculating that His Majesty had chosen to avoid meeting his son. Speaking on GB News on Wednesday night, Lowri Turner described the King’s decision as being a “megaphone in a quietly elegant way to say ‘you’re not welcome’.” She said: “Nothing concentrates the mind like being diagnosed with cancer, and maybe he’s taken a leaf out of Harry’s Californian book and thought about, ‘I don’t need toxic influences in my life at the moment’. “Harry’s a bit of a toxic influence, certainly Camilla probably thinks so.” THIS IS A LIVE BLOG.

Meghan Markle, despite having the “potential” to bond with King Charles, was unable to bridge the gap before a bitter feud came into the picture. Although Meghan is no longer on good terms with the Royal Family, one specialist believes there could have been an opportunity to foster a “strong” kinship within the family. Marrying into The Firm in 2018 when she wed Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex became a focal point for royal observers around the globe. However, the couple sent shockwaves worldwide with their decision to step down as senior royals just two years later. The Royal Family has since found themselves at odds with Harry and Meghan as the pair continue to make damning allegations about The Firm. According to relationship guru Louella Alderson, although it seems improbable that harmony will be restored, she points out there was a stage when Meghan could have built a “deeper level” connection with her in-laws. In an exclusive sit-down with the Mirror, Louella highlighted how King Charles’ offer to accompany Meghan at her wedding …

A nine-year-old boy, sweetly nicknamed Princess Kate’s “best friend” has been left devastated after missing the Buckingham Palace garden party after getting stuck in traffic for hours. Tony Hudgell, from Maidstone in Kent, had to have his legs amputated after being subjected to horrific abuse by his parents, and has previously met Kate, and sent her well wishes in her cancer recovery. Taking to X, the official page for Paula Hudgell tweeted: “Stuck on M20 for the last two hours [crying-face emoji] won’t be making the King’s Garden party [tear-face emoji].” Paula’s tweet was posted alongside a photo of Tony, who was wearing a blue t-shirt and some dark sunglasses, in a car. Followers expressed their shared devastation that Tony would be absent from the monarch’s first annual Garden party, with one fan commenting: “Oh nooooo [cry-face emojis] I’m so sorry that you won’t be making it today. I’m sure @RoyalFamily and @KensingtonRoyal will ensure you are invited again at a later date. Sending you hugs [blue-heart emoji].” Another, @judithiin777, wrote: “Awww that’s such a …

Nigel Farage has issued a brutal three word attack on Prince Harry after King Charles snubbed the exiled royal this afternoon. The Duke of Sussex was at St Paul’s Cathedral today to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games and was spotted waving cheerily to the cameras. But Prince Harry revealed that his father is too busy to meet him while he is back in the UK this week – even though the pair are just a few miles apart today (May 8). It sparked a furious response from Nigel Farage who said the King has ‘thrown down a marker’ to Prince Harry to tell him he’s not welcome. Nigel Farage tweeted his three-word attack as he labelled Prince Harry a ‘treacherous little brat’. During a Sky News Australia interview, Farage expanded, adding: “Prince Harry is at St Paul’s Cathedral today, it’s 10 years of the Invictus games, and the King is opening up Buckingham Palace for thousands of people this afternoon who will be going to one of the royal garden parties which …

Prince Harry’s relationship with Charles and William ‘terminally damaged’ | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

Prince Harry’s relationship with King Charles and Prince William is “terminally damaged” as “the boot is on the other foot”. The Duke of Sussex is in the UK this week to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. He is set to give a speech at St Paul’s Cathedral during a thanksgiving service. And despite speculation, a family reunion is not on the cards for this visit. A spokesperson for the Prince said he would not be seeing his father, King Charles. A statement from Harry’s team read: “It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.” Buckingham Palace is not commenting on the duke’s visit, according to the BBC, and no senior royals are attending the St Paul’s service. But royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! That, from the lack of a visit, “we can deduce that (Harry’s relationship with his family) is terminally damaged”. Jennie said: “In …

King Charles could “easily” have found time to see Prince Harry during his visit to London as his son asked him for a meeting weeks ago, according to a source. Today, May 8, the Duke of Sussex will attend a special commemorative service at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark 10 years since the first Invictus Games.

A body language expert has explained Prince Harry’s feelings of “isolation” as it was revealed that he will not be reunited with King Charles while in London, and possibly not Prince William either. The Duke of Sussex is expected to be over in the UK for two or three days, attending a service at St Paul’s Cathedral to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games later today. On Tuesday, after his plane from Los Angeles touched down, Harry attended the Invictus Games Foundation Conversation summit, however Judi James told The Mirror that his body language was not altogether happy and that he may miss his wife Meghan Markle, who chose not to accompany him. She said: “This is a confident, splayed-leg, knee-bent walk from Harry who, with his chin raised and an eye-smile that suggests some delight at all the royal-looking fuss here, appears more than happy to enjoy a reception that involves some sort of a military parade for him to inspect as well as a warm, bicep-grabbing man hug reception from his …
