Seven claims from new Royal Family book including Queen's thoughts on Prince Andrew interview

Prince Andrew – from the showpiece event. But never ones to accept things quietly, Harry and Meghan rushed out a statement saying they still intended to join in the celebrations with their two children, Archie, three, and 11-month-old Lilibet, and will fly in from their home in LA.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "never asked" to stand beside the Queen on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Platinum Jubilee and merely wanted to make sure their children met their great grandmother, it has been claimed.The couple, who gave up royal duties for a new life in the US in 2020, are flying in for the celebrations, bringing their three-year-old son Archie and their daughter Lilibet, named after the Queen, to the UK for the first time since stepping away two years ago. Baby Lili, who will turn one during the festivities, is yet to meet her grandad Prince Charles or the Queen and Archie last saw his royal relatives when he was just a few weeks old, reports the Mirror.

Prince Andrew and the Sussexes were axed from Buckingham Palace balcony for the Queen’s Jubilee amid concerns that the crowd may boo them, Royal insiders have claimed.

When Her Majesty the Queen sadly passes away, Buckingham Palace could look very different indeed. At 96 years old, our ageing yet much-loved monarch is celebrated around the world for her lengthy reign, sacrifice and dedication to her country. And when she’s gone, royal expert Duncan Larcombe says we’ll do everything to remember her - we might even make a shrine.

Meghan Markle wanted to be the "leading-lady" following a successful royal tour of Australia with Prince Harry, it is claimed.

Prince Harry and his family could travel to the UK to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee with the Royal Family, it has been reported.The Duke of Sussex's attendance for the public celebration of his grandmother the Queen's 70 years on the throne has been uncertain in recent weeks – after he pulled out of Prince Philip's memorial service. Harry, 37, took legal action against the UK government after he was refused permission to pay for police protection when he visits his home turf.

Exiled UK royal Prince Harry readily admitted that the UK is no longer his home — and notably avoided saying whether he misses his dad and brother after their years-long bitter feud.“Home for me now, for the time being, is in the United States — and it feels that way as well,” the 37-year-old prince told the “Today” show in an interview that aired Wednesday.Asked pointedly by Hoda Kotb if “you feel like that’s home more for you,” Harry nodded and said, “Yup.”“I’m sure it will become a thing,” he admitted of having turned his back on the nation his family rules over.Harry gave a vague “of course” reply when asked if he missed his family, whom he has rarely seen since fleeing Britain and quitting life as a royal at the beginning of 2020.But he quickly changed the topic when asked if he missed his dad, heir to the throne Prince Charles, 73, and his once-close 39-year-old brother, Prince William.“For me, at the moment, I am here focused on these guys,” he said of the military veterans at the 2022 Invictus Games, where he was interviewed.“That’s my focus here and when I leave here I get back the focus is my family, who I miss massively,” he said of his kids with wife Meghan Markle, son Archie, 2, and daughter Lilibet, 10 months.Harry pointedly said it was “great” seeing his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, during his recent surprise trip to the UK — again making no mention of also seeing his 73-year-old dad, Charles.“It was really nice to see her — to be able to see her in some element of privacy was nice,” he said.“We have a special relationship with talking about things that she can’t talk about with anybody else,” he said of the Monarch, who turns 96 on Thursday, joking that by now she must be “bored” of birthdays.Even so,
