As the anniversary of her birthday passes by, a leading royal expert reflects on her personal relationship with the late princess, and how Prince William, in particular, will feel marking the day.

Princess Beatrice might have signalled her future royal role by assisting Prince William on a major British occasion.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Californian dream seems to be a far cry from reality, according to a Royal expert who recently commented on Prince William's celebrity encounter.

When it comes to jet-setting royals, there are some fascinating and strict rules in place to ensure the safety of the King and his family during their overseas travels. From carrying their own booze to avoid poisoning, to always having a mourning outfit ready for sudden bereavements, each protocol is steeped in royal reasoning. But one particularly intriguing rule is designed to safeguard the monarchy's lineage by limiting which family members can share a flight.

Prince William has reportedly put an "absolute ban" on Prince Harry being welcomed back into the royal family four years after the younger brother stepped back from royal duties and moved to California. The Prince of Wales, 42, is said to have ruled out a thawing of relations, and has recently taken on the role of disciplinarian - a role previously adopted by his late grandad Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

There have been several attempts to compare Meghan Markle with the late Diana, Princess of Wales ever since her and Prince Harry's relationship became public knowledge.These comparisons reached boiling point following the release of investigative journalist Tom Bower's controversial book 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors' last year. One of the most striking claims was how Harry reportedly hoped that Diana's two sisters and younger brother would identify the similarities between Meghan and his late mother - a fact which ended up in disappointment when they didn't. In an eyebrow-raising twist presented by Bower, he suggests that Diana's brother, Earl Spencer was requested to intervene about Harry's growing relationship with Meghan.

Just one year ago, Prince William took a huge leap forward in shining a spotlight on the homelessness problem that plagues the UK with the launch of Homewards.The project, which took two years to put together, is a five-year locally led programme which aims to demonstrate that together it is possible to end homelessness: making it 'rare, brief, and unrepeated'.

Prince William and Prince Harry may be in line for the throne, but there's one thing they'll never inherit - their mother Princess Diana's childhood home.The Althorp Estate, which has been in the Spencer family since 1508, will instead go to their cousin Louis, son of Earl Spencer, Diana's brother Charles. Despite having three older sisters, 30-year-old Viscount Althorp, Louis, will inherit the estate due to the aristocracy's system of primogeniture, where titles are passed down to the oldest boy, not the firstborn child.The sprawling 13,500-acre estate is where Diana spent her childhood and was laid to rest after her tragic death in 1997.

The Prince of Wales has seen many changes to his official title over the years and currently holds a style which links him to centuries of royal history and tradition. Prince William became the 27th Prince of Wales following Queen Elizabeth II's death and was granted the additional titles of the Duke of Cornwall, the Earl of Chester, the Duke of Rothesay, the Earl of Carrick, the Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland.

A leading royal expert has suggested two tips Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should follow if they wish to mend their relationship with the Royal Family, amidst warnings that the monarchy stands strong without them.
