Prince Harry will 'rush back' to Meghan Markle after Prince Philip’s funeral

<p>Princess Eugenie has taken&nbsp;on a 'peacekeeper role' as William and Harry prepare for the funeral of Prince Philip.</p>

<p>The Princess of York is believed to be hosting Harry at Frogmore Cottage where she lives with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their two-month-old son August.<br />
<br />
Eugenie, 31, enjoyed a special bond with her cousins growing up and their families holidayed together. Her close relationship with Prince Charles' children grew over the years as they progressed into adulthood.</p>

<p>According to Evening Standard,&nbsp;Harry's decision to stay with his cousin at her property in the grounds of Windsor Castle was "unlikely to be a practical one".</p>

<p>According to the newspaper, Eugenie has stepped into a "peacekeeper role" as the rift between William and Harry drags on. Eugenie is one of the few royals who has maintained good relations with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following their dramatic exit from the Firm and explosive Oprah interview.</p>

<p>She and her husband Jack moved into Frogmore Cottage last year but agreed to allow the Sussexes to bunk in with them if and when they visit the UK.<br />
<br />
On Thursday Eugenie paid tribute to her "dearest Grandpa" in a touching Instagram post.</p>

<p>She shared two snaps of happy memories she has with Philip, one showing them at the races with Princess Beatrice.</p>

<p>The other snap shows the Duke of Edinburgh playfully patting a young Eugenie's head.</p>

<p>She wrote: "We all miss you. You would be so touched by all the tributes that have been shared with me the past few days."<br />

Princess Eugenie has taken on a 'peacekeeper role' as William and Harry prepare for the funeral of Prince Philip. The Princess of York is believed to be hosting Harry at Frogmore Cottage where she lives with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their two-month-old son August.

Princess Eugenie has taken on a 'peacekeeper role' as William and Harry prepare for the funeral of Prince Philip. The Princess of York is believed to be hosting Harry at Frogmore Cottage where she lives with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their two-month-old son August. Eugenie, 31, enjoyed a special bond with her cousins growing up and their families holidayed together. Her close relationship with Prince Charles' children grew over the years as they progressed into adulthood. According to Evening Standard, Harry's decision to stay with his cousin at her property in the grounds of Windsor Castle was "unlikely to be a practical one". According to the newspaper, Eugenie has stepped into a "peacekeeper role" as the rift between William and Harry drags on. Eugenie is one of the few royals who has maintained good relations with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following their dramatic exit from the Firm and explosive Oprah interview. She and her husband Jack moved into Frogmore Cottage last year but agreed to allow the Sussexes to bunk in with them if and when they visit the UK. On Thursday Eugenie paid tribute to her "dearest Grandpa" in a touching Instagram post. She shared two snaps of happy memories she has with Philip, one showing them at the races with Princess Beatrice. The other snap shows the Duke of Edinburgh playfully patting a young Eugenie's head. She wrote: "We all miss you. You would be so touched by all the tributes that have been shared with me the past few days."

Queen Elizabeth II's husband Prince Philip passes away

<p>Prince William and Prince Harry are set to reunite publicly this summer to unveil a statue of their late mother Princess Diana. Reports suggest that William is keen to meet his brother in private before they make their public appearance together.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The brothers are expected to come together to unveil the statue at Kensington Palace on July 1 which marks Princess Diana's 60th birthday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Harry, 36, who is currently residing in California, is expected to attend. A source told Us Weekly that William, 38, is hoping the two can meet before the public appearance, which will be scrutinized by the British tabloids.<br />
<br />
This will be the first public outing for the two brothers since Harry and Meghan's explosive tell-all interview to Oprah was aired in March.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Harry has so much going on in his life work-wise and is busy planning for the arrival of (his)&nbsp;daughter that he’s trying not to overthink the consequences that may arise upon his return to the UK," the source told the publication.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"All eyes will be on them at the unveiling, critics will be analyzing their every move and how they interact with each other," the source continued.<br />
<br />
"(William) doesn’t believe that it’s feasible for them to reunite in the public eye without showing signs of tension if they don’t thrash out their differences in advance."</p>

<p>The communication between the two brothers, the insider claims, has been 'sparse'. Despite the tensions between the two, William has reportedly kept the line of communication open, specially to discuss their mother's statue- which the two have together commissioned.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On March 7th, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey that has been viewed by nearly 50 million people globally.</p>

<p>During the two-hour special, Harry revealed that his relationships with his father Prince Charles, 72, as well as his older brother, are strained. Meghan also alleged that a member of the royal family had raised concern about the skin colour of their unborn child during Meghan's first pregnancy. William later stated that no family member was racist.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The statue was reportedly commissioned in 2017 "to mark the twentieth anniversary of her death and recognize her positive impact in the UK and around the world."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
When they faced delays, the brothers decided to unveil the statue to mark their mother's birthday.<br />
<br />
Diana passed away in 1997 at age 36 from injuries she sustained in a Paris car crash.<br />
<br />
"The statue is to reflect on Diana’s legacy, not their feud, and William wants to keep it that way," the source added.&nbsp;</p>

Prince William feels uncomfortable to talk to Prince Harry after he allegedly leaked chat details to Gayle King

<p>Prince William is reportedly struggling hard to resist the urge to share his side of the story ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey was aired.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Just weeks ago, Harry and Markle sat down with the Oscar-winning star to discuss their struggles since the 'Suits'&nbsp;alum joined the royal family.</p>

<p>During the tell-all, the pair made allegations of racism and turning a blind eye to mental health needs against the royal family and the institution at large.</p>

<p>Ever since the interview was aired, it has become evident that William is not pleased with his brother and sister-in-law, who also made mention of William`s wife, Kate Middleton, during the interview. Meghan had stated that Kate had made her cry days before her wedding.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A source close to the Duke of Cambridge has told the daily that he wants to publicly share his side of the story.<br />
<br />
"The queen is insisting that the royals handle the matter privately," said the insider.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, they also said that Queen Elizabeth II "thinks that retaliating will only add fuel to the fire and make the situation worse."<br />
<br />
"William is struggling to hold back," shared the source. "He wants to get his side out there."<br />
<br />
The insider said that the mention of Kate is his priority for wanting to speak out, as he`s reportedly felt "very protective" over his wife since Meghan claimed Kate made her cry around the time of her wedding to Harry.<br />
<br />
The royal would like to "clear the racial allegations," said the source. William previously responded to the claims made by his brother and sister-in-law in a public statement deemed "unusual" by royal expert Katie Nicholl. When confronted by reporters shortly after the interview aired, William said that the royals are "very much not a racist family."<br />
<br />
He added that, at the time, he had not yet spoken to Harry about the contents of the interview. Gayle King recently reported that the brothers have since spoken, but conversations were "not productive."&nbsp;</p>

Post Harry-Meghan's interview, Prince William is 'struggling to hold back'

<p>Among the various revelations made by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during their interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier in March, the couple revealed they had secretly gotten married three days before their official ceremony in 2018.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now, weeks later the Archbishop of Canterbury has denied the news and said that no such secret wedding took place.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
During her interview with Oprah, Meghan said she and Prince Harry had a secret marriage ceremony officiated by Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby in their "backyard".<br />
<br />
The duchess said nobody knew the couple shared personal vows for "just the two of us". The wedding reportedly took place before the grand ceremony that took place at Windsor on Saturday, May 19, 2018.<br />
<br />
Now, speaking to an Italian media outlet, Welby stated that the legal wedding happened on a Saturday and added, "But I won't say what happened at any other meetings."<br />
"If any of you ever talk to a priest, you expect them to keep that talk confidential," he added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"It doesn't matter who I'm talking to. I had a number of private and pastoral meetings with the Duke and Duchess before the wedding.<br />
<br />
Welby insisted that the legal wedding took place on Saturday, May 19 and said, "I signed the wedding certificate, which is a legal document, and I would have committed a serious criminal offence if I signed it knowing it was false."<br />
<br />
During her interview with Oprah, Meghan said, "You know, three days before our wedding we got married. No-one knows that, but we called the Archbishop and we just said, 'look, this thing, this spectacle, is for the world, but we want our union between us'."<br />
<br />
She said the vows they had framed are "just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury".<br />
<br />
Both Harry and Meghan said it was "just the three of us".<br />
<br />
Welby's comments come after the official who issued the licence for the couple's wedding said Meghan was 'clearly misinformed'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Stephen Borton, the former chief clerk at the Faculty Office, told The Sun that Meghan "is obviously confused and clearly misinformed".</p>

<p>"They did not marry three days earlier in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury," he said.</p>

<p>"The Special Licence I helped draw up enabled them to marry at St George's Chapel in Windsor and what happened there on 19 May 2018 and was seen by millions around the world was the official wedding as recognised by the Church of England and the law.</p>

<p>"What I suspect they did was exchange some simple vows they had perhaps written themselves, and which is fashionable, and said that in front of the Archbishop or, and more likely, it was a simple rehearsal."<br />
<br />
Along with Borton's comments, the news daily had also carried a copy of an entry marriage document for the couple which was dated May 19, 2018, and was signed by Prince Charles and Meghan's mother Doria Ragland as witnesses.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Sussexes are gearing up to welcome their second child- a daughter- this summer. Reports state that Meghan has opted for a home birth for her second child. The couple lives in California along with their two-year-old son Archie.&nbsp;<br />

Meghan Markle's dad dropped letter at Oprah Winfrey's home asking for an interview: Report

<p>Britain's Prince Harry -- who is often at war with the British press -- was on Wednesday announced as a commissioner for a US study into misinformation online.</p>

<p>The non-profit Aspen Institute said it was "honored" to have the Duke of Sussex as one of the 18 members of its "Commission on Information Disorder."</p>

<p>The announcement came a day after Harry became "chief impact officer" at San Francisco life-coaching startup BetterUp as he adds to his growing portfolio of jobs since stepping away from royal duties last year.</p>

<p>As part of the Aspen study, the 36-year-old Harry will help conduct a six-month investigation into misinformation and disinformation in the American digital world that will start in April.</p>

<p>The commission aims to identify the biggest causes of the sharing and spreading of false information and find solutions to help the government, private sector and civil society respond.</p>

<p>"The experience of today's digital world has us inundated with an avalanche of misinformation, affecting our ability as individuals as well as societies to think clearly and truly understand the world we live in," Harry said in a statement.</p>

<p>"It's my belief that this is a humanitarian issue -- and as such, it demands a multi-stakeholder response from advocacy voices, members of the media, academic researchers, and both government and civil society leaders," he added.</p>

<p>The prince is likely to bring his own experiences of media coverage of his life to the commission.</p>

<p>Harry told US talk show host James Corden last month that he left royal life and moved to the United States with wife Meghan Markle because the British press was "destroying his mental health."</p>

<p>The prince has long had a difficult relationship with Britain's tabloids, blaming press intrusion for contributing to his mother Princess Diana's death in a car crash in 1997.</p>

<p>Harry and Meghan have filed several lawsuits against newspapers and last April told Britain's tabloids that they were ending all cooperation with them due to "distorted, false or invasive" stories.</p>

<p>Since leaving their roles as working royals, Harry and Meghan have already signed lucrative digital media deals to capitalize on their celebrity -- one to produce content for Netflix, and another to present podcasts for Spotify.</p>

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey has irked Buckingham Palace to a great extent. As cases of bullying, snubbing and discontentment are openly being discussed, here is a look at the troubled relationship between Markle and the British Monarchy over the year

The royal mess: Meghan Markle vs The Queen

<p>Prince Harry is using his own experiences with tragedy to give back to society. The royal recently penned the forward for a children's book called 'Hospital by the Hill', aimed at&nbsp;kids mourning the loss of loved ones during the coronavirus pandemic.</p>

<p>In his emotional message, Harry wrote about his own experiences coping with loss after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997, when he was just 12 years old.</p>

<p>According to People, the forward written by Harry reads, "When I was a young boy I lost my mum. At the time I didn't want to believe it or accept it, and it left a huge hole inside of me. I know how you feel, and I want to assure you that over time that hole will be filled with so much love and support. We all cope with loss in a different way, but when a parent goes to heaven, I was told their spirit, their love and the memories of them do not. They are always with you and you can hold onto them forever. I find this to be true."</p>

Prince Harry is using his own experiences with tragedy to give back to society. The royal recently penned the forward for a children's book called 'Hospital by the Hill', aimed at kids mourning the loss of loved ones during the coronavirus pandemic. In his emotional message, Harry wrote about his own experiences coping with loss after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997, when he was just 12 years old. According to People, the forward written by Harry reads, "When I was a young boy I lost my mum. At the time I didn't want to believe it or accept it, and it left a huge hole inside of me. I know how you feel, and I want to assure you that over time that hole will be filled with so much love and support. We all cope with loss in a different way, but when a parent goes to heaven, I was told their spirit, their love and the memories of them do not. They are always with you and you can hold onto them forever. I find this to be true." Harry went on to write about the empathy he feels for anyone else—particularly any young person—coping with the loss of a close loved on. "Now, I never met them, but I know this person was special to you, and they were someone incredibly kind, caring and loving because of where they chose to work.

Prince Harry pens an emotional forward talking about grief for a children's book

<p>Prince William reportedly misses his brother Prince Harry. According to The Sunday Times, despite the tension between the two brothers William hopes that their "relationship will heal with time."<br />
<br />
William was the most upset&nbsp;by a statement Harry and Meghan released last year, as they prepared to step down as senior members of the Royal family.<br />
<br />
While outlining their plans to launch a non-profit organization following their exit, the couple released a statement which in part addressed the rules surrounding the use of the word "royal.' "</p>

<p>"While there is not any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word 'Royal' overseas, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use 'Sussex Royal' or any iteration of the word 'Royal,' " the message read.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A source close to the Duke of Cambridge told The Sunday Times, "That was it for William, he felt they'd blindsided the Queen in such an insulting and disrespectful way."</p>

<p>"Once he got over the anger of how things happened, he was left with the absence of his brother," a source told the outlet. "They shared everything about their lives, an office, a foundation, meetings together most days and there was a lot of fun along the way. He'll miss it forever."</p>

<p>Another source told the outlet that while William, 38, is still "very upset by what's happened," he's "absolutely intent that he and Harry's relationship will heal in time."&nbsp;</p>

<p>During his joint Oprah Winfrey interview with Meghan, Harry acknowledged that he and his brother, who is second in line to the throne behind their father, are on "different paths."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I love William to bits. He's my brother. We've been through hell together," Harry, 36, explained. "But we are on different paths."</p>

<p>Although he described his relationship with his older sibling at the moment as "space," Harry reiterated that he "will always be there" for William.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While stepping out for the first time since the interview aired, William told reporters that he hadn't "spoken to" his brother about the sit-down yet, "but I will do."&nbsp; Since then, both William and their father have been in contact with Harry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Harry has talked to his brother and he has talked to his father too," Gayle King, &nbsp;who is friends with Oprah and the Duchess of Sussex, revealed on CBS This Morning recently. "The word I was given was that those conversations were not productive. But they are glad that they have at least started a conversation."&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to a People report,&nbsp; the relationship between Charles and his sons has been complex for years. "There has always been this complicated relationship with their dad," a palace source was quoted saying. "It's not a straightforward father-son relationship," the palace source added. "He is their father and their boss, and they are beholden to him to fund their offices and lives."</p>
