“Woke Royals”

Royal interviews have a long pedigree, but not necessarily a good one. “When you look at history, any time that a senior royal has sat down for an interview, ultimately it has always backfired,” said Katie Nicholl, author of The New Royals, and Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent, who has been writing about the Windsors for nearly two decades.

ITV will expect huge ratings for its interview with the Duke of Sussex on Sunday night, but Harry may pay the price in the long run.

Prince Andrew’s “car-crash” Panorama interview with Emily Maitlis fuelled a lawsuit that led to a £12m out of court settlement last year, but before that were Harry’s parents: the then Prince of Wales admitted his infidelity in an interview with Jonathan Dimbleby, and Diana, Princess of Wales, cemented their divorce by detailing her unhappiness and Charles’s relationship with Camilla in a controversial interview with the BBC’s Martin Bashir.

Prince Harry has been written out of King Charles’ Coronation script, it was claimed today, as royal insiders said Prince William is ‘burning with anger’ amid the bombshell revelations in the Duke of Sussex’s memoirs.

In his new tell-all autobiography Spare, Harry made a series of sensational claims about his brother and father, describing the Prince of Wales as his ‘arch-nemisis’ and accusing the King of being worried he would be ‘overshadowed’ by Meghan’s Hollywood star power.

The Royal Family has thus far remained silent on the matter, refusing to respond to the Duke’s incendiary anecdotes, but the Sunday Times today said a royal source claimed Harry has been omitted from the proceedings of King Charles’ upcoming Coronation in May.

US news anchors denounced Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir as a “gauche” public airing of the Royal family’s “dirty laundry”, as media outlets in the Duke’s adopted home turned against him.

American journalists once sympathetic to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex questioned why Harry felt the need to put family arguments “out there for the whole world to see” in Spare.

“I just don’t understand why on earth he would want to put that out there. I know he’s selling a book but to me, it’s just not done,” said Don Lemon, a CNN anchor. “It’s gauche to me”.

Senior military figures have condemned the Duke of Sussex after he said in his memoir that he killed 25 people while serving as a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan.

A distinguished British army colonel accused Prince Harry of “betraying” the military, while a former assistant chief of the defence staff said his remarks broke “an unwritten code”.

The Taliban have expressed their fury after Prince Harry revealed he killed 25 enemy ‘chess pieces’ during his deployment in Afghanistan, in his tell-all memoir Spare.

Speaking to MailOnline, the militants taunted the Prince, saying they had the last laugh over the West and the ‘big mouth loser’ Duke of Sussex – who ‘fled to his grandmother’s palace’ – by recapturing the country in 2021.

Even Meghan’s Taliban friends have turned on Harry!

Claim that prince knocked his brother to the floor takes things to a new level

If the leaked extract from the Duke of Sussex’s book is anything to go by, it reveals that the title of his memoir is in one way deeply misleading: Harry is not going to spare anyone.

We already knew, both from what he has already said about his family in the Netflix series, and from his choice of JR Moehringer as ghost writer, that the book was likely to be emotionally frank.

But this goes further — much further — than anything we have seen so far.

Prince Harry: My mother gave me a message through woman with ‘powers’

Duke of Sussex says he was told Princess Diana ‘is with you right now’ by an individual who was ‘recommended by trusted friends’

Prince Harry has said Princess Diana gave him a message after she died through a woman with “powers” who told him he was living the life his mother wanted for him.

In his new book, Spare, he says the individual told him that “your mother is with you right now” and surprised him by describing an incident involving his son, Archie, that her spirit had witnessed.

A granddaughter of Nelson Mandela has accused the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of using his legacy to promote their newest Netflix series, describing it as “deeply upsetting and tedious”.

Ndileka Mandela said she admired Meghan and Prince Harry for leaving their royal duties but criticised their involvement in Live to Lead, a documentary series profiling public figures. The Mandelas have made no money from it, she told The Australian.

The Duke of Sussex’s impending book is expected to go easy on his father, the King, but may sour his troubled relationship with his brother for ever

Spare is the story of a troubled young prince estranged from his family, ghostwritten by an author known for his expertise in fraught father-son relationships.

But the Duke of Sussex’s memoir is expected to let the King off lightly — and focus more on his frosty relationship with the Prince of Wales.

A source with knowledge of the book, which will be published on January 10, told The Sunday Times they did not see how the brothers’ relationship could ever recover.

Agreement signed by Duke of York will come to an end in February, which could mean allegations resurface once more

The Duke of York is braced for his sex abuse accuser to return to the public eye as a gagging clause signed by both parties is lifted in February.

Prince Andrew paid millions to settle a civil case with Virginia Giuffre earlier this year, securing a deal that bought him just one-year of silence. The Duke did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the civil case settlement.

However, that agreement will come to an end within weeks, meaning that Ms Giuffre, who now lives in Australia with her husband and children, will be once again likely to be free to talk about the years of abuse she suffered at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender.

The public appears to have more sympathy for the Prince and Princess of Wales, according to a new poll

Almost half of the public think the Duke of Sussex should be stripped of his royal title following the release of his and Meghan’s Netflix documentary, a poll has found.

In a survey by YouGov, 44 per cent of respondents said Prince Harry should have his title removed, compared with 32 percent who thought he should be allowed to retain it.

In an indication that the six-part Netflix series, Harry & Meghan, backfired on the couple with its accusations against the rest of the Royal family, the public appears to have more sympathy for the Prince and Princess of Wales.

They want endless praise for abandoning their duties.

Nothing gets you in the Christmas spirit quite like a highly public family feud. I know, I know — you don’t care about the royals. But the latest episodes in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix series exemplify the modern trend of abandoning family pieties.

King Charles has finally thrown Prince Andrew out of the royal fold and told him he’s ‘on his own’ in the wake of the scandal surrounding his associations with the late paedophile financier Jeffery Epstein, a source has claimed.

The Duke of York was told to no longer use Buckingham Palace as an office space, effectively severing his final tie to his old life as a working royal, according to a new report in The Sun.

‘Any presence at the Palace is officially over,’ a source was quoted as saying. ‘The King has made it clear. He isn’t a working royal. He’s on his own.’

The British royal family is reportedly upset with Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, after their Netflix documentary fired multiple incendiary shots at the family last week.

Although Buckingham Palace has not made any statement about the new docuseries, royal insiders told Entertainment Tonight that there was “no trust left” between the Sussexes and the royal family. A second source told the outlet that the royals were “angry” at the couple.

Are the wokest couple in all the West losing their star power? The first-half of the Sussexes’ new ‘explosive’ documentary attracted less than a million viewers in the 332-million strong USA, with one critic remarking ‘If I were Netflix, I’d want my money back.’ Meghan’s planned animated series Pearl has already been binned. And now even the right-on Jacinda Ardern has distanced herself from the runaway royals and their latest paean to progressivism.
