Prince Harry lines up London trip after not speaking to Prince William, Kate Middleton for a year
Prince Harry lines up London trip after not speaking to Prince William, Kate Middleton for a year

Prince Harry is set to return to the UK in just a few weeks — sparking questions over whether he will finally see Prince William and cancer-stricken Kate Middleton, after not speaking to his brother in more than a year.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, is slated to speak at a special service marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, the Olympics-style contest for wounded service personnel which he founded, at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London on May 8.
The potential visit comes as it was revealed Monday that Harry has lost an initial bid to appeal against a High Court ruling over his personal security in the UK.
In February, he lost his legal challenge against the Home Office’s decision to change the level of his personal security when he visits the UK as he’s no longer a working royal.
A well-placed source said, “Everyone is asking whether Harry will see his father and will he see Kate and the Wales kids — if not his brother?”

Meghan Markle's former aide breaks silence on past staffers' bullying claims made against Duchess of Sussex

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's former aide has confirmed she was questioned during an investigation surrounding claims of bullying made against the Duchess of Sussex.
During an interview with Australian newspaper The Herald Sun on Monday, Samantha Cohen — who was a Buckingham Palace staffer for nearly 20 years before leaving in 2019 — revealed she was one of 10 staff members questioned during the investigation.
While she didn't directly speak about the investigation, she revealed the Palace was unable to find a replacement aide for the Duke and Duchess due to the high staff turnover.

"I was only supposed to stay for six months but stayed for 18 — we couldn’t find a replacement for me and when we did, we took them on tour to Africa with Harry and Meghan to show them the ropes, but they left (quit) as well while in Africa," she said.
A representative for Markle did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Buckingham Palace launched the investigation in March 2021 after reports alleged that Markle had driven out two personal assistants and that staff had been "humiliated" on several occasions during her time living in Kensington Palace.

‘Sussex Survivors Club’: Meghan Markle ‘bullying’ claims could tarnish lifestyle brand
By Social Links for Lauren Sarner
Published April 24, 2024, 12:26 p.m. ET
The duchess is jammed up.
Meghan Markle, 42, has a new lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard, which will include products like jars of jam.
But “bullying” claims may hurt the brand, a royal expert says.
“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” business development consultant Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.
“There have been too many examples of the ‘Sussex Survivors Club’ for the allegations not to be true … In contrast, not even one such report has ever been raised regarding Kate Middleton.”
Fordwich was referring to former palace aide Samantha Cohen, who confirmed in a recent interview with the Australian Herald Sun that she was one of 10 staffers who were questioned about allegations that Markle “bullied” staffers during her time in the palace.
In 2017, Cohen, who had previously worked for Queen Elizabeth, was tasked with getting Markle ready for the royal family.
Royal expert Tom Bower wrote in the Daily Mail on Tuesday, “Certainly, I believe that Ms. Cohen was soon exasperated, within six months or so, and that Meghan either disagreed with, or failed to understand, the non-negotiable elements of royalty. I also believe that members of Samantha Cohen’s team viewed this as an irresponsible self-indulgence. Both sides would blame a clash of cultures.”
Cohen, who resigned in 2018, compared her former job to “working with teenagers,” according to “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown” by Valentine Low.

Why Prince Louis’s Sixth Birthday Portrait Was Unlike Any Other
Amid Catherine, the Princess of Wales's cancer battle, royal fans and observers were left wondering if Kate Middleton would continue her annual tradition by sharing an image of Prince Louis for his sixth birthday. By early afternoon in England, Louis's adorable portrait arrived, but behind the scenes, the protocol for sharing it was slightly different than in years past.
The Daily Express reported on April 23 (Louis's birthday) that Middleton's photo arrived later than normal because she is continuing to maintain her privacy as she receives cancer treatment. A past scandal also contributed to the timeline.
