Royal Happenings

[sneakypete]

This is quite a predicament for King Charles and how selfish of Andrew.  I think Charles has been more than generous towards his brother in spite of his scandals. 

I don't know British law, but there has to be a way to oust him.  Between Harry and Andrew, Charles has a handful.

@libertybele

I know nothing  about English law,but I am pretty sure that since KING Charles is not only the King of England,but
 OWNS the property he should have no trouble getting Andrew evicted if he wants.

Kings generally get what they want.

The film clip of Kate sitting at the piano is quite striking.  She looks absolutely beautiful with her hair in soft curls and her gown flowing behind her is quite stunning.

King Charles ‘further alienated’ from Prince Harry by Queen Camilla; insider says ‘things look pretty bleak’
Prince Harry attended King Charles' coronation without Meghan Markle
By Lauryn Overhultz , Ashley Papa | Fox News

  Queen Camilla has "further alienated" Prince Harry from the royal family, according to a royal expert.

Camilla has used Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle's status as non-working royals to continue the fractured relationship between Charles and his son, Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital.

"The king hates being caught in the middle, but when push comes to shove, he will always choose Camilla," Andersen said. "The queen has used this nonsensical 'But they're no longer working royals' argument to further alienate the king from his second son. I think every time the king considers handing Harry an olive branch, Camilla makes sure Charles is reminded of all the terrible things written about her in 'Spare.'

"So, in the long run, I think things look pretty bleak as far as mending the relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals is concerned," he added. "Charles seems to be drifting more and more in the direction of just severing those ties, and that will become easier as more and more time passes. Out of sight ..."

Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship with Camilla has been "frosty" since the beginning, and Harry's words about the queen in his memoir didn't help, Andersen claimed.

"Camilla was understandably livid over Harry's characterization of her as a 'villain' in his book. I think it also came as a total shock to Camilla to learn that both William and Harry begged their father not to marry her," Andersen said. "Charles has been sitting on that little tidbit for 18 years.

"If the late Queen Elizabeth had known how strongly William and Harry felt about it, perhaps she would not have reluctantly agreed to let Charles and Camilla marry in 2005."

But he says the new queen most likely wouldn't have done anything differently if she'd known.

 ‘Shaken’ Meghan Markle, Prince Harry involved in ‘near-fatal’ paparazzi chase in NYC

By Sara Nathan

May 17, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “extremely upset and shaken” after being involved in a “near-catastrophic” paparazzi chase in NYC.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were traveling with Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, were frighteningly pursued by photographers after leaving the Ziegfeld Theater — where the former actress was honored by Gloria Steinem at the Women of Vision Awards — in Manhattan on Tuesday night.

The trio left the event in an SUV at around 10 p.m., and were immediately followed by around 12 paparazzi, we’re told.

A source claims that one cameraman hit a car, while another almost ran over a NYPD officer, during the “near-fatal” chase.

“It started off with 12 paparazzi then ended up with four chasing [Meghan, Harry and Doria],” the insider tells us. “Their security tried their best to lose [photographers].”

Once in the taxi, the duke used his cell phone to record the ensuing melee.

We’re told security was also recording to gather evidence.

Paparazzi were confronted by uniformed police officers, but ignored warnings and continued chasing the trio, we hear.

 More details on Harry, Meghan pap chase emerge as timeline is pieced together

By Riley Cardoza

May 17, 2023 | 1:36pm

Additional details from Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Doria Ragland’s “near-catastrophic” paparazzi chase are coming to light.

The New York Police Department released a statement Wednesday about the incident, saying they “assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex” after the couple left the Women of Vision Awards in an SUV around 10 p.m. Tuesday.

“There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging,” a police spokesperson recalled of the ordeal.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination, and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries or arrests in regard.”

The royals’ spokesperson previously told Page Six that the “relentless pursuit” lasted more than two hours and resulted in “multiple near collisions” with drivers, pedestrians and two NYPD officers.

The California residents all remain in New York City after the harrowing occurrence, a source told Page Six, noting that they are all “still upset, to say the least.”

It is unclear when the family members will return home.

Inside the drama of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s NYC paparazzi chase ordeal

By Joe Marino, Craig McCarthy, Mara Siegler and Olivia Land
May 17, 2023

Harry and Meghan’s supposed “near catastrophic” and “over two hour” paparazzi car chase wasn’t exactly the high-drama debacle that their reps made out, according to law enforcement sources, who said the couple was tailed for about an hour had a police escort.

A high-ranking source reiterated the NYPD’s statement that cops had “no collision reports or 911 calls” related to the chase. Though other sources noted that two uniformed police were “nearly missed” by paparazzi as Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, left the Ziegfeld Theater in Midtown around 9:50 p.m.

“We only had one car as part of this. [The chase] definitely wasn’t two hours,” the high-ranking source told The Post on Wednesday.

The couple – accompanied at the Women of Vision Awards by Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland – were traveling in a vehicle flanked by both a private security car and an NYPD vehicle, sources said.

The group wanted to return to the private Upper East Side residence where they were staying the night, but were apparently hindered by “significant” press presence that followed them from the venue, sources said.

I thought this when the story first broke. It, imho, was a publicity stunt using a dead mother's death. That is shameful. If it had been true why would Harry have it allowed to continue (considering his past) and put not only himself but his wife, mother-in-law and bystanders at risk? What's the worst that could happen? They would get their picture taken. Oh, the humanity!

I hate to a complete cynic...but I'm sure St. Meg of Markle is basking in the publicity.

Of course she is!  I have no doubts.  Remember she was left out of the coronation and Harry had 3rd row seats -- pretty humiliating, even though they brought that on themselves.

The "significant" press presence looks like a whopping three people. They should feel lucky there were that many.

 Phantom thread Piers Morgan: Meghan and Harry's 'near-catastrophic' car chase 'story is unraveling'

Piers Morgan, Megyn Kelly and Caitlyn Jenner have all trashed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s claim that they were caught up in a “near-catastrophic” two-hour car chase in Manhattan on Tuesday night.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a statement on Wednesday morning saying that they were hounded by snappers after they left the Women of Vision Awards and headed to a private residence on the Upper East Side.

“Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and [Markle’s mother] Ms. Ragland were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi,” a spokesperson for the couple claimed.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” they added.

However, the car chase claims raised eyebrows with some Sussex critics, including Morgan, who bluntly tweeted: “There was no 2-hour chase, their story is unraveling by the minute.”

Kelly, meanwhile, also expressed doubts that it would take 120 minutes for the Sussexes to travel from Midtown to the neighboring Upper East Side.

“I lived in Manhattan for 17 yrs & it is not possible to have a 2hr ‘car chase’ there,” she wrote. “Too many street lights/stop signs, too much foot/car traffic & hundreds of places you could safely pull over to protect yourself.”

Jenner — who was involved in a fatal multi-car collision in 2015 — also tweeted: “I have been party to paps following me in NY (definitely not 2 hrs and plenty of evidence – kind of the point since they have cameras), LA (even in a city with lots of driving and long distances between destinations, not 2 hours, and AGAIN LOTS OF EVIDENCE) it comes with the territory. Whine whine whine is all these 2 seem to do.”
