Weddings for members of Britain’s royal family are grand affairs. Who can forget Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding in 2011 or when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in 2018? But some weddings are grander than others.
Another royal who got married after the duke and duchess didn’t receive the same fanfare, in fact, it wasn’t even televised despite the bride wearing one of the most expensive pieces of jewelry in the royal collection. Here’s who that was and what they wore that cost $12 million.

Just five months after the Sussexes said “I do,” Princess Eugenie got married. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s youngest daughter wed her longtime partner, Jack Brooksbank, on Oct. 12, 2018, in St. George Chapel at Windsor Castle, the same place where millions watched Harry and Meghan’s nuptials.

British royal family news reveals that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fled the royal family in 2020 in order to make a fast buck. How did that turn out? If you consider giving away free jam to be a lucrative enterprise, then the Markles are batting a thousand.

British royal family news shows that Prince Harry has frosted out much of his family with the alleged exception of disgraced Prince Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
On May 8 Harry celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the Invictus Games in London all by his lonesome. His wife Meghan Markle couldn’t, or wouldn’t, accompany him and not one royal—senior or otherwise—supported him at St. Paul’s Cathedral for the Service of Thanksgiving.
The absence of Beatrice and Eugenie was surprising, especially since the latter is the only royal known to have visited the traitors at their Montecito, California McMansion. What’s up with the blatant snubs? Here’s what to know about why the York sisters failed to show up for Harry.

Prince Harry recently returned to the U.K. for a three-day trip to celebrate the anniversary of the Invictus Games he founded 10 years ago. There was a special service held at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London to commemorate the anniversary of the Games. Some of Princess Diana’s siblings were in attendance but no one from the royal family attended the ceremony even though they were reportedly invited.
No one expected Harry’s brother, Prince William, or his sister-in-law, who is undergoing treatment for cancer to attend. But not seeing any royals especially one of the duke’s favorite relatives show up to support him has angered some Sussex fans. Here’s who that is and what’s being said about them.

British royal family news reports that Prince Harry is desperate to get in good with his scorned family but they aren’t having it. According to Page Six, Harry has invited the senior royals to the May 8 Invictus 10-year celebration ceremony in London, but so far no one has taken him up on it.
The event takes place at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday and Harry will be all by his lonesome.
Not only has his family snubbed him, his wife Meghan Markle is staying home rather than accompany her second husband to the important event.

Happy anniversary, Prince William and Kate Middleton. April 29, 2024, marks 13 years of marriage for the Prince and Princess of Wales. In honor of the milestone, we’re revisiting their 2011 wedding day. Not their fairytale balcony kiss or Kate’s iconic wedding gown, but the second, lesser-known dress she wore for the reception. Ahead, why a fashion expert says Kate broke tradition with her second wedding dress and didn’t “relax.”
Kate changed into a second wedding dress for a Buckingham Palace reception
After walking down the aisle in a long-sleeve Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown complete with a tiara and dramatic train, Kate debuted another look.
For an evening reception at Buckingham Palace hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II, Kate wore a satin A-line gown from the same designer. It had a sweetheart neckline and sparkly embellishments at the waist.

The royal family appears to have a closer connection with Spotify than we once thought. Back in December 2020, news broke that Meghan Markle had signed a deal with the streaming giant to produce a podcast called Archetypes, and people were excited see what Meghan had up her sleeve — but podcast reportedly didn’t meet Spotify’s expectations, and in June 2023, Meghan and Spotify parted ways. Now, though, rumor has it another royal family member is planning to build a relationship with the streaming giant.

The royal family has always been in the media, but sometimes, they find themselves in compromising situations — often relating to photos the press gets their hands on. It seems every royal has been part of at least one photo scandal.
Back in 1992, it was Sarah Ferguson who found herself in a compromising photo situation. And it reportedly led Queen Elizabeth II to tell Fergie to “pack her bags” — and Prince Philip never wanted to speak to her again.

Affectionately known as “Fergie,” Sarah Ferguson became the Duchess of York when she married the queen’s son, Prince Andrew, in 1986. However, the couple’s marriage deteriorated only a few years later, but they did welcome two daughters together: Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

It seems April 2024 isn’t off to a good start for Princess Beatrice ever since Netflix’s Scoop premiered. The 35-year-old British royal is portrayed—very briefly—in the film about her father, Prince Andrew’s 2019 Newsnight interview regarding his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to an expert, Beatrice is likely “annoyed and upset” she’s depicted in the film.
Beatrice will be ‘dreading’ the ‘difficult time ahead’ amid her portrayal in ‘Scoop’
Scoop debuted on April 5, 2024. With it came a depiction of Beatrice as her father, Andrew, played by Rufus Sewell, and his team negotiated with BBC Newsnight’s Sam McAlister (Billie Piper) and Emily Maitlis (Gillian Anderson).
The interview aired in November 2019. It resulted in Andrew losing his Hrh [His Royal Highness] status and being removed from the list of working royals.
Charity Wakefield plays Beatrice in Scoop, who’s seen in one scene attending a Buckingham Palace meeting.

It’s been a rough few months for Britain’s royal family. In mid-January, it was revealed that the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) had abdominal surgery, which required a lengthy hospital stay and recovery time at home. Days after Kate’s operation, King Charles was admitted to the same London hospital and underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostate. It was announced 10 days later that tests found the monarch had cancer and he began receiving treatment.
Now, with two working royals out of commission, the family is feeling the effects of its new slimmed-down monarchy.
It’s been reported that Prince Harry was open to coming back to help shoulder some of the workload but because of his strained relationship with some of his relatives and trust issues, the duke was told his services were not needed. However, some feel that royals like Prince William and...

There have been several reports lately that Prince Harry will be making a trip to the U.K. soon and wants his wife, Meghan Markle, to travel with him. The Duchess of Sussex hasn’t been back in England since 2022 and when Harry told Good Morning America that he had more trips planned to go back home, he didn’t specify if Meghan would be with him or not.
But when and if the former Suits star does return, many members of Harry’s family likely won’t be welcoming her with open arms. And because of that, a royal commentator is claiming only three royals will agree to see Meghan when she’s in town.

Sure, maybe Queen Elizabeth II was told to be cautious of Meghan Markle. But, according to a royal author, the Duchess of Sussex knew “exactly how to butter up the queen.” Ahead, how Prince Harry offered a “glimpse” of Meghan’s ability to charm the queen. Plus, how Meghan “kept in touch” with her grandmother-in-law.
Queen Elizabeth ‘liked’ Meghan, who could ‘butter up’ the late monarch
Speaking to Newsweek about her latest book, My Mother and I, which examines King Charles III’s relationship with his mom, author Ingrid Seward shared her surprise at learning Queen Elizabeth liked her granddaughter-in-law.
“I was so surprised when I heard the queen liked Meghan, but she did. Meghan’s a smart lady, whatever people think of her,” Seward said. “She knew exactly how to butter up the queen.”

And while the monarch is currently receiving treatment for that, the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) has been out of commission as she recovers from abdominal surgery she had on Jan. 16.

Prince Harry could’ve found himself among the long list of celebrities at Super Bowl Lviii. However, the Duke of Sussex wasn’t at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, to see the Kansas City Chiefs win in overtime against the San Francisco 49ers. Why? Because the 39-year-old British royal was reportedly “busy” getting ready for an upcoming trip with Meghan Markle.
Harry reportedly declined an invite to the game due to trip marking the countdown to the 2025 Invictus Games
“It is well known the prince loves American football, and bosses have extended an invitation to him following his appearance at the awards,” an NFL source told the U.K.’s The Mirror. (More on Harry’s awards appearance later.)

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family back in 2020, and the couple has only returned on a handful of important occasions. However, things between Harry and his father, King Charles, have never quite been the same. The father and son are reportedly working on things, but Harry and Meghan still seem to be a long way away from patching things up for good.
But a recent move by the royal family was seen by some as a dig toward the Sussexes but might actually have given the family a little hope that things will heal themselves.

Tensions have been high ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family back in 2020, but they have remained close with their cousin, Princess Eugenie.
Now, though, one royal fashion expert revealed that Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, made a move of “solidarity” for Prince William and Kate Middleton this past holiday.

Rotten Tomatoes and the Academy Awards don’t often go hand in hand. In fact, the Rt scores of Best Picture nominees/winners are a mixed bag. “Parasite” won Best Picture with a Rt score of 99% while “Green Book” emerged victorious with a score of just 77%. The site dishes out percentage scores to movie’s based on the film’s collection of critical reviews. The higher the score, the better the movie. Supposedly.
But, that’s not how it always work in tandem with the Oscars. For instance, “Black Panther,” “BlacKkKlansman,” and “Roma” all scored 96% but lost Best Picture to “Green Book.” Perhaps, if the Oscars listened to Rotten Tomatoes more, things would go a little more smoothly?

For the first time in more than 30 years, the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson has returned to Sandringham for the British royal family’s Christmas celebrations.
Ferguson was seen with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, as they walked into the Church of St. Mary Magdalene.
Ferguson and Prince Andrew have been divorced since 1996, although they live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor. They share two daughters: Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and three grandchildren. Beatrice and Eugenie were also seen attending the service.
Prince Andrew has been in many controversies in the recent years due to his ties with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. His associations with him led to him leaving royal life.
However, Ferguson has continued to support him.
“Whatever challenges he has, I will stand firm to the co-parenters that we are together,” Ferguson told People about her relationship with Andrew. “I believe that he’s a kind, good man,...

Christmas morning in the UK saw the King lead the royal family’s traditional walk to church from his home of Sandringham in Norfolk, eastern England, with some familiar faces on display.
Included in the family outing was his brother Prince Andrew – seemingly back in the royal fold for private events, even if his public role remains on hold, following his friendships with the late Jeffrey Epstein and the jailed Ghislaine Maxwell, and the hashed non-apology the prince made for both in a TV interview. With more papers detailing the late shamed sex trafficker’s associates set to be released in January, speculation continues in the UK press as to whether Andrew’s name will once again resurface and his PR nightmare continue into another year.

King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles are about to host their second Sandringham Christmas celebration as the king and queen consort. Last year, the family celebrated their first traditional royal Christmas without Queen Elizabeth after her death at 96 in September 2022.
Charles and Camilla haven’t made too many changes to the monarchy or its rules since stepping into their new royal roles; however, they have reportedly expanded the Christmas dinner invite list. This year, the couple will host two surprising family members who have never received the coveted invite.

Members of the royal family are born into a system that understands the press corps. From a young age, they are taught how to behave, when to speak, and when not to speak. However, one royal rule dominates the interactions between the House of Windsor and the press. Princess Eugenie reveals the details.
Princess Eugenie admits the royal family can’t ‘overshare’
In an interview for the podcast Table Manners, Princess Eugenie stated that royal family members are taught from an early age not to “overshare.” She discussed this topic with hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware.
The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson said: “The world doesn’t need to know everything about us. The way we’ve been brought up is to not, we don’t overshare.”

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for “Saltburn,” in theaters now.
In 2006, I was an English major at Oxford alongside “Saltburn” director Emerald Fennell. While there was a peripheral overlap in our social circles, as far as I remember we never officially met. Like the protagonists in her new film, we existed in the same orbit but our experiences at Oxford could not have been further apart.
So I wasn’t entirely surprised to see Fennell’s dark satire get some flack since its release, particularly in the U.K., for failing to adequately skewer the upper classes while depicting scholarship kid Oliver Quick (played by Barry Keoghan) as a vampiric con artist. His mark, the blue-blooded Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi), is kind-hearted and guileless, a cross between Princess Diana and Harry Enfield’s comic creation Tim Nice But Dim.
Even when he realizes he’s been deceived, Felix behaves...

When King Charles took the throne following Queen Elizabeth II’s death in 2022, it was immediately made clear that the king would favor a “slimmed-down” monarchy — one in which there were fewer working royals. He certainly got his wish, considering Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family several years before Charles even took the throne.
Plus, with Prince Andrew removed from his royal duties, the monarchy keeps getting smaller. But what happens when Charles dies? With so few people currently in the working royal position, Prince William and Kate Middleton will need others to step in when they become king and queen — and that might be where Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie come in.

Ever since they stepped down as working royals and moved to the U.S., there’s been a guessing game about whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would return to the U.K. for major family events. The Sussexes did attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral together as well as the late monarch‘s Platinum Jubilee celebrations before that. But they didn’t receive a warm reception from Harry’s relatives at either.
The tension at the queen’s funeral was obvious to the millions who watched while things at the Platinum Jubilee were a little more subtle. However, a lip reader noticed the duchess attempting to make a joke and laugh while inside the church perhaps to ease some of the awkwardness.
Here’s more on that and who else was in a joking mood that day.

It’s been one year since Queen Elizabeth died. The late monarch was 96, and she left behind a tremendous legacy. Despite tensions among the royals, the queen had a strong relationship with everyone, including her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
One year after her death, the royal family is remembering everything they loved about her, and Prince Harry had some sweet words about his “Granny” back in January 2023, three years after he announced that he was stepping back from his senior royal role. Meanwhile, the other royals paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II via Instagram on September 8.

While Queen Camilla is said to be able to expertly handle flares of King Charles III‘s temper, an updated royal biography claims the monarch’s “impatience” stems from a “deeper cause.” Specifically, King Charles’s desire to live with a “sense of urgency.”

Despite having technically left the royal family years ago after her divorce from Prince Andrew in 1996, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has remained in the royal spotlight for years. She shares two daughters with Andrew, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who are both high-profile members of the royal family and have remained so despite their father’s scandalous friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
“Fergie,” as she’s often called, has always had a close relationship with her daughters. But now that Eugenie and Beatrice both have families and children of their own, Sarah admits she’s going through a “big change.”

She famously stole the show at Kate’s wedding to Prince William when she received much of the public’s attention. These days, Pippa is married and shares three children with her husband, James Matthews. She and Kate have always remained close, and despite that Kate is a member of one of the world’s richest families, Pippa seems to have one thing that Kate does not: a massive home.
It turns out the Princess of Wales’ younger sister lives in a 30-room mansion — much larger than the place Kate shares with William and their three children.

Andrew, 63, wasn’t included in the procession to St. George’s Chapel or the service. According to Russell Meyers, Daily Mirror Royal Editor, despite Andrew not being part of the festivities, he’ll probably retain the honor.

Prince Harry has lost a lot of friendships among royal family members since he chose to leave the working aspect with the family alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, back in 2020. Harry and Meghan were working toward more privacy after the press incessantly attacked Meghan, and when the royal family didn’t always have her back, the couple chose to distance themselves and started a new life in the United States.
While Harry’s connection to many royal family members has dwindled, there seems to be one relationship that has actually growing over time: his bond with Princess Eugenie. One body language expert thinks Harry and Eugenie are closer than ever.
