Prince Harry feels 'superior' claims body language expert

Prince Harry made a gesture in a recent interview that indicates he feels he is superior to Prince William, a body language expert has claimed. Adrianne Carter watched an interview with the Duke of Sussex did with Anderson Cooper for CBS’ 60 Minutes earlier this month. The host had said: "You write about a contentious meeting you had with him [Prince William] in 2021. You said ‘I looked at Willy, really looked at him, maybe since the first time since we were boys, I took it all in, his familiar scowl which had always been his default in dealings with me, his alarming baldness more advanced than my own'." Ms Carter watched this clip and claimed: "So we see a really telling clue from Harry’s facial expression when he talks about William’s baldness - we see the one-sided half smile. That means 'I feel superior, I’m better than'. He’s quite proud of the fact he isn’t as advanced bald as his brother."

James Middleton bids 'farewell' to dog Ella in a heartwarming tribute

Last week, James Middelton announced that his beloved dog Ella had passed away following a short illness.

James Middleton shared a heartwarming tribute to his dog Ella as he bid “farewell” to the one who “saved” his life.

Writing for The Telegraph, the Princess of Wales' brother recalled some of the sweetest memories with the pup.

Ella had been by James' side for 15 years, and was a companion he credited with "saving his life" when he was facing battles with depression.

Princess Kate's brother took to social media to thank fans for their kind messages of support, while also penning a personal note.

It read: "As many of you know, Ella was a therapy dog with @petsastherapy_uk and I know first hand dogs don’t just change lives, they save lives.

"It would mean the world to me if you might consider donating to this amazing charity on behalf of Ella or perhaps even consider joining as a volunteer.

King Charles asks Archbishop for a deal to allow Harry and Meghan to attend Coronation

King Charles has reportedly asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to broker a deal to allow Harry to attend his Coronation.

It has been reported that Charles wants Justin Welby to strike an agreement with his warring sons that would allow Harry and his wife Meghan to attend the Westminster Abbey ceremony in May.

However, his wish has met resistance from William, The Mail on Sunday reported.

According to the news report, the King is said to believe that the couple’s absence would be a greater distraction than their presence, so is prepared to make concessions to persuade them to attend.

However, Prince William is understood to be concerned that his brother will use the event to stage a “stunt” that would overshadow the event.

Meanwhile, according to the latest Ipsos poll conducted for the London Evening Standard, two-thirds of Britons think the Duke should attend the ceremony at Westminster Abbey in May.

Princess Charlene lights up Monaco celebration with boat burning tradition

Princess Charlene and her twins were seen celebrating Monaco's patron saint day but Prince Albert was missing from the festivities following his recent Covid diagnosis.

Princess Charlene and her eight-year-old children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella led the celebration by beginning the traditional boat-burning ritual to commemorate Monaco’s patron saint St. Devote.

The royals also greeted members of the public as they attended a chapel service before the boat burning took place.

Princess Charlene and her royal twins of Monaco, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, used their own red and white candles to light the traditional bonfire, which consumed a full-sized model of a boat.

Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella were seen enjoying the celebrations by hugging and larking about as they watch the boat go up in flames, showing the close relationship between the royal twins.

The lighting of the boat has been a tradition maintained by Monaco's Royal Family since the 19th century and marks the beginning of a two-day holiday.

Prince Harry once got ‘blind drunk’ and triggered alarm at St James’ Palace, says soldier

It was reported that Prince Harry was "uncooperative" when guards found him in a sentry box, the place where guards stand watch in their bearskin hats, a former solder has claimed.

A former soldier has alleged that a drunken Prince Harry once set off the emergency alarm at St James's Palace after falling down. The incident is reported to have taken place in January 2012 when Prince Harry was 27 years old.

The Sun has reported that Prince Harry once fell into a sentry box while drunk and accidentally bumped into the palace’s emergency panic alarm.

Three soldiers from the Guards Division found the Duke the Sussex on the floor in a “mess”.

It was reported that the royal was coming home after a night out while off duty and two police officers also arrived at the scene and then helped Prince Harry back to his apartment.

A former soldier who worked for the Guard Divison was part of the team that found Prince Harry said that the royal was “blind drunk”.

King Charles 'in talks to do landmark interview to tell his side of story about Harry row'

King Charles is reported to be gearing up for a "landmark" BBC interview in which he could speak out about his son Prince Harry for the first time since the release of the Duke's tell-all memoir 'Spare'.

Following a series of explosive allegations in his son's biography Spare and his Netflix documentary with wife Meghan Markle, palace advisors are debating the prospect of the King using his chat to clarify events, it has been reported.

Charles might clarify the Megxit incident, in which Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, stepped aside as employed Royal Family members, if the Palace agrees to the interview, according to The Mirror.

An unnamed insider told the publication: "Plans are already up and running for coronation coverage at the BBC, including the profile on the monarch. It is not the done thing to avoid subjects in interviews, so it makes matters tricky."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry told 'it's not your day' after making 'shady' move

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been criticised after it came to light that they told members of the Royal Family about their pregnancy during Princess Eugenie's wedding.

The Duke of Sussex revealed the couple pulled aside members of the family one at a time to tell them the news during the royal wedding in 2018. Canadian TV host Sid Seixeiro has lashed out at the Sussexes for the "shady" move.

Speaking on Canada's Breakfast television, he said: "To me personally, this is not your day, okay? To announce a pregnancy at someone else's wedding is that one of the shadier moves you're gonna do.

"You're bigfooting the entire process for whoever's holding the wedding, you are telling everyone, 'look, we believe we are bigger than anything else going on here'."

Jeremy Clarkson has admitted his "sneaking feeling" that King Charles upcoming Coronation will make history as England's final ever one.

Kate and William's new photos show Firm has 'come through' Harry’s book 'storm'

A new picture of the Prince and Princess of Wales in Liverpool is evidence Prince Harry’s attacks on the Royal Family have failed to hurt the Firm’s reputation, according to a royal writer.

Kate and William can be seen shaking hands and walking through the doors of the Royal Liverpool Hospital as part of their first public engagement since the release of Harry’s tell-all memoir.

Despite Harry’s "never-ending" media blitz in the US, Daniel Elser says, the two working royals appear unbothered by the Duke’s bombshell revelations as they greet the "hundreds" of patients and staff who gathered to "catch a glimpse of the duo doing nothing more extraordinary than waving".

The way the couple was treated and welcomed is proof Harry’s book has failed to have any impact on the Institution, Ms Elser argues.

Mandela's granddaughter now jumps to defence of 'hounded' Sussexes as she savages Firm

Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter has spoken out for the first time since the row over Meghan Markle’s references to the former President of South Africa during the court of the Sussexes’ recent Netflix documentary series.

However, Ms Mandela is now denying ever having made the remarks - insisting she wants to “set the record straight” while lavishing praise on Meghan and Harry.

Writing for The Independent, Ms Mandela, a social activist as well as a former ICU nurse, said she had been “shocked” by claims she criticised the pair for “profiteering” from Mr Mandela’s name.

North Cyprus attempts to woo Charles with invite to abandoned 7-star hotel 'Firm owns'

King Charles has been invited to visit the world's first-ever seven-star hotel - understood to be owned by the Royal Family - by the President of Turkish Republic of North Cyprus (TRNC) as he tries to break the deadlock on the island of Cyprus.

The invitation to King Charles has come just ahead of the Presidential elections in the Republic of Cyprus in the Greek Cypriot southern part of the island on February 5 with the future reunification with the TRNC at the top of the agenda.

President Tatar believes that reunification is now “absolutely impossible” and he wants the winner of the election in the south and the rest of the world led by Britain to recognise the sovereignty of his country as part of “a two state solution” to end the 60-year crisis.

He has accused the UK of failing to take advantage of Brexit freedoms to broker "a fair solution".

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could 'learn some lessons' from Princess Anne

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could "learn some lessons" from Princess Anne's approach to royal life, according to an expert. Richard Fitzwilliam's comments come after a poll found the Princess Royal was the most popular member of the Royal Family among Brits.

Mr Fitzwilliams hailed the late Queen's only daughter for her hardworking attitude to royal duties.

He also highlighted how Anne managed to escape much of the drama with the US-based Sussexes' Netflix series and Harry's tell-all memoir, which came after years of tensions with the Royal Family in the wake of Megxit.

The royal expert said: "Princess Anne has consistently been one of the most admired members of the Royal Family for decades.

"She usually carries put the most engagements and does so with a minimum of fuss."

Stripping Meghan and Harry's titles seen as 'aggressive move' in 'war' with Royal Family

Markle and Prince are likely to keep their titles as the Firm tries to calm the "war" with the Sussexes, according to a commentator. Since the release of the couple's Netflix series and Prince Harry's memoir Spare, there have been calls for them to renounce their Duke and Duchess monikers.

However, it isn't so simple, says royal expert Johnathan Sacerdoti, who warned such a move could be spun as "aggressive" by the Sussexes and lead to escalation in the family's "war".

"The sense that I get is that this is not something they want to do. I think in this war between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the Royal Family, they're [the Firm] trying to calm things not trying to throw more grenades in," Mr Sacerdoti said.

Such a move could even spur the Meghan and Harry to write a "Spare 2" or to release another Netflix series, according to Mr Sacerdoti. He said that the working Royals just want to "get on with the job".

Charles’ headache with Harry ‘wouldn’t have escalated’ if key figure was in royal fold

Sir Christopher Geidt is not a household name for most. For royal author Andrew Lownie, however, it is a name that bears significant weight.

That is because, for him, he is the man who may well have saved King Charles III from the public embarrassment that has hit the Royal Family in light of the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle scandal.

Having worked as the late Queen Elizabeth II’s private secretary for a decade, the Baron and House of Lords member, Lord Geidt stood down from his position in 2017.

Mr Lownie, who penned the 2021 book Traitor King: The Scandalous Exile of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, believes that were he not allegedly forced from his role, Lord Geidt may well have been the ideal person to help smooth over the currently frosty relationship between Charles and Harry.

Camilla's 'dignified silence' admired by Americans as Sussexes' popularity plunges

Camilla, Queen Consort has been praised by a royal expert for maintaining a "dignified silence" in the wake of Prince Harry's bombshell claims in his memoir.

King Charles III's wife has won plaudits over recent week, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have seen their popularity plunge in the US, where the couple now live.

Harry made a host of accusations against the Queen Consort in his book, Spare, including that she converted his bedroom into a dressing room as soon as the Duke moved out of Clarence House.

Asked what people in the US admire about the Queen Consort, Los Angeles-based royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told Express.co.uk: "Camilla's dignified silence seems to be a quality Americans admire.

"Of course, how are you supposed to respond to a nearly 40-year-old man complaining about you turning one of their multiple bedrooms into a closet?"

Prince Harry and Royal Family could be set for 'temporary peace' ahead of Coronation

Prince Harry could be set for a "temporary peace" with the Royal Family before the coronation of his father, King Charles III, later this year.

Royal commentator Jonathan Sacerdoti said the royals will want to make peace with the Duke of Sussex before the King is crowned on May 6.

He said: "Whether or not that’s possible is one thing and whether or not it’s lasting is another thing.

"Even if they do manage to make some form of peace, [it] might be temporary. I think it’s going to be extremely difficult for them as a family - and more broadly, for the nation and for the Institution - to forgive what’s happened."

Sussex brand 'getting lost' as Harry warned over future after going 'too far' with book

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been sent a huge warning for the future after the duke went "too far" with his criticisms of the Royal Family in his memoir, Spare.

The couple have spent a lot of time building awareness for Archewell. The group includes the couple's non-profit charitable arm, The Archewell Foundation, as well as lucrative for-profit business divisions focusing on media production - Archewell Audio and Archewell Productions.

But bombshell claims against the Royal Family, both in the couple's recent Netflix documentary series and Harry's new book, has left one marketing expert confused over their brand strategy and has warned about the problems it poses in the future.

Pauline Maclaran, Professor of Marketing and Consumer Research at Royal Holloway University of London, told Express.co.uk: "Harry has gone too far with his criticisms of the Royal Family. He is certainly not going the right away about this.

"What is getting lost in all of this is the Sussex brand. What is the Sussex brand?"
