Russian spy cosied up to one of UK’s richest families as she tried to infiltrate British establishment

The TV ratings were celestial, the crowds unprecedented and the media downright reverential, so in purely show business terms the British monarchy’s new boss, King Charles III, should feel thrilled for having survived an historic week.

King Charles became heir to the throne at just three-years-old when his mother was crowned Queen following the death of George VI.

Prince Harry has regrets about the way his relationship with older brother Prince William has disintegrated, according to reports. The siblings have been forced back together following the death of their beloved grandmother, and united last week for a walkabout in Windsor alongside their wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.

Meghan Markle has had an unsteady relationship with fans of the royal family over the past several years, but according to one royal expert, the Duchess of Sussex might have won some people over throughout the week. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the royal family — including Markle and husband Prince Harry — were reunited all week long to pay respects to the late monarch. Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on Sept.

King Charles, members of the royal family and hundreds of world leaders, politicians and other public dignitaries joined in the funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey this morning. 

Queen Elizabeth II was on the throne for 70 years before her death last week — building a massive legacy, growing her family, and amassing a jaw-dropping fortune!

As King Charles III starts out as the oldest new monarch in British history at the age of 73, he is very aware that his reign can never have the span or scope of his mother’s 70 years on the throne.

Queen Elizabeth II had access to one of the most impressive, priceless jewelry collections in the world — but she won’t take any of them with her. She will be laid to rest with only her most sentimental items.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were among the royal family members waiting at Buckingham Palace to receive Queen Elizabeth II‘s coffin on Tuesday, September 13.

Queen Elizabeth II is dead after 96 years on this earth and 70 as the head of the British monarchy. Her heir, Prince Charles, as ascended to the throne as King Charles III and his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, will take on the role of the queen consort–a symbolic rather than official role to indicate her task to support the king. It begs the question: what other royal family title changes will be happening? Here’s what we know.

Guy Lodge Film Critic At the 1987 Conservative Party Conference in Britain, then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher issued one of the most grimly memorable quotes of her career: “Children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay.” For many of us, it’s a line that now sounds so archaically out of step with contemporary life as to be comical — that “inalienable right” wording ironically appropriated by many a queer-rights cause — though you need only look at Florida’s recent Don’t Say Gay bill to know that Thatcher’s sentiments live among us still. A frank, piercing debut from British writer-director Georgia Oakley, “Blue Jean” is a Thatcher-era period piece that crisply evokes that climate of politically propagated homophobia without preserving it in amber: It effectively puts the past in tacit dialogue with the present.
