Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding anniversary "will not be ignored" by the Royal Family, King Charles’ former butler has claimed. Grant Harrold, who worked for the King for seven years, said that The Firm tends to acknowledge such occasions privately - unless it is a landmark number of years. Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, were celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary on Friday, 19 May.The couple - who decided to step back from senior royal duties in 2020 - married in a lavish occasion at Windsor at Windsor on Saturday 19 May, 2018.

As monarch, King Charles’ schedule is bursting with royal engagements. From hosting heads of state to meeting representatives of different charities and organisations, no two days for His Majesty ever look the same.

Privy Purse coinage?King Charles, 74, has been dubbed the monarchy’s hardest-working royal in the last decade, according to figures compiled by the DailyMail.The newly-crowned sovereign has had his hands full with some 5,000 royal engagements in the last 10 years, they counted. His tally rivals his sister’s, Anne, Princes Royal, who, between 2013 and 2022, carried out about 4,693 events.

Queen Elizabeth II would have wanted Prince Andrew and Prince Harry on the Buckingham Palace balcony following King Charles’ Coronation, a royal expert claimed. Former royal butler Grant Harrold said the late Queen would have been “sad” that her son and grandson did not appear during the iconic balcony moment because she was “all about family”.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, is said to be "praying" for an elderly woman who was hit by a police motorbike escorting Sophie in West London.The woman, thought to be in her 80s is said to be fighting for her life in hospital in critical after being rushed there following the incident that occurred at around 3.21pm on Wednesday. Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance scrambled to the scene after the police motorbike struck the woman at the junction of Cromwell Road and Warwick Road while on escort duties.The Metropolitan Police confirmed the incident and said that the injured woman's family had been informed.

King Charles’ official Coronation portraits gave an insight into His Majesty’s idea of a slimmed-down monarchy – with one shot showing the working royals all together. The image features 10 members of The Firm alongside the King and Queen Consort Camilla – including well-known faces such as Princess Anne, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. But while the woman standing in between the Duchess and Duke of Edinburgh may be unrecognisable to many – she has been described as the 'unsung heroine' of the Royal Family.

Many members of the Royal Family have experienced tragedies over the years, from early deaths to horrific disasters. And while there are a great deal of terrible stories, some of the saddest have affected the senior Royals who featured in King Charles's official Coronation portraits. The first tragedy affected Prince Edward, Duke of Kent (standing far right) and Princess Alexandra (standing second left).The first cousins of Queen Elizabeth II have dedicated their lives to royal service and have carried out hundreds of engagements and official appearances.

But it was back to work as usual on Tuesday as he met with academics and aviation leaders on a tour of the new facility at the Whittle Laboratory in Cambridge.The monarch was dressed smartly in light grey suit for his visit as he learnt about the laboratory, which aims to accelerate the path to zero carbon flight.

Prince Edward revealed that members of The Firm were “very nervous” that Miss Piggy might gatecrash the royal box during the Coronation Concert. The musical extravaganza, staged at Windsor Castle on Sunday to celebrate King Charles’ Coronation, saw pop stars including Lionel Richie and Katy Perry entertain a crowd of 20,000 spectators, with millions more watching on TV around the world. And just before host Hugh Bonneville introduced the final act of the star-studded event, Take That, Kermit the Frog appeared in the royal box waving a Union flag in front of a grinning Edward.

King Charles III's coronation, and one family member was noticeably missing.In the new portrait, shared to the royal family's official Twitter account Monday, Prince Andrew was noticeably left out of the shot. The photo did, meanwhile, see Charles' other siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward in their royal regalia alongside the newly crowned king and Queen Camilla.Also included in the group photo were the rest of the senior royal members -- Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Edward's wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess Alexandra.Andrew's absence does not come as a major surprise, after he stepped back from his royal duties in November 2019 amid his controversial connection to disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in August 2019.In addition to keeping him out of the photo, the embattled fourth sibling was also kept in the background throughout the weekend's coronation proceedings.
