Earlier this week, Prince William stopped by James’ Place in Newscastle, a male suicide prevent center, and was asked at one point about his wife and kids.

The question came in the wake of Kate Middleton having been diagnosed with cancer.

“We’re all doing well, thank you,” the Prince of Wales replied. “We’re all doing well.”

Now, however, we have a reason to think this may not be the case.

Speaking to The Telegraph a couple days ago, Amaia Arrieta — the designer behind many of the looks worn by the spouses’ kids through the years — said something that has gone extremely viral.

“I’m heartbroken at the moment. I think they are going through hell,” the fashion maven said of Kate and William, adding:

“I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”

This revealing quote has left many observers of the Royal Family quite concerned.

Amaia went on to say how honored she feels to have helped dress the royals… ever since Prince George, 10, wore her brand’s corduroy shorts in a 2014 Christmas photo.

More recently, Princess Charlotte was pictured in the designer’s checked skirt on Mother’s Day — yes, we’re talking about the photo that sparked a certain editing controversy.

“Dressing the royals gives me so much pride, I really do care about how they look,” the designer told the Telegraph.

“They have put the traditional and classic way of dressing children on the map.”

That’s great and all, but focus is now entirely on how Middleton is feeling these days.

In late March, Middleton appeared in a video to deliver a self-written speech that confirmed her unfortunate cancer news.

Post-operative tests from her “planned abdominal surgery” in January revealed that “cancer had been present,” prompting her to start chemotherapy, she explained at the time.

Referring to the news a “huge shock,” Middleton said that she and her husband “have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

“But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be okay.”

We don’t know a lot about Kate Middleton’s cancer treatment because she and her loved ones have said very little about the star’s health over the last several weeks.

But Kate’s diagnosis came weeks after her father-in-law, King Charles, announced on February 5 that he was also undergoing treatment for cancer.

There’s a lot going on these days throughout the United Kingdom.

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the palace said in a statement back then.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.

“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual.”

Kate Middleton and Prince William are in “Hell,” Close Friend Claims was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

For years, Piers Morgan has been an outspoken critic of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Now, in an unprecedented display of pettiness, Morgan has advocated for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to be stripped of their titles.

In an interview with Megyn Kelly, Morgan urged King Charles to punish his youngest son for disloyalty to the royal family.

Piers Morgan to King Charles: It’s Time to Take a Stand Against Harry and Meghan!

“They shouldn’t be using the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex bestowed on them by the monarchy,” Morgan said.

“I hope that King Charles – who is massively distracted by his illness – will at some stage have that conversation and say, ‘You can’t keep the titles. I’m sorry,'” the TV personality continued (via Yahoo!).

Interestingly, Morgan acknowledged one major reason why the King will not be following such ridiculous advice.

As you’re probably aware, Charles has been diagnosed with cancer.

Buckingham Palace announced last week that Charles will return to “public-facing” royal duties sometime in the near future.

But royal officials have yet to offer any concrete information regarding the severity of Charles’ cancer or the organs affected.

For obvious reasons, many have taken that silence as cause for concern.

A Time of Crisis For the Royal Family

The revelation that Kate Middleton is also battling cancer came soon after Charles’ diagnosis was made public.

All of this is taking place less than two years after Queen Elizabeth II passed away, making Charles king.

These are stressful days for the royals. In fact, this might be the greatest time of crisis for the Windsors since the death of Princess Diana.

And it’s likely that there are more rough waters ahead.

All of this is to say that it’s a strange time for Piers Morgan to be sowing seeds of discord.

Morgan has advocated for Harry and Meghan to lose their titles several times in the past.

But it’s rare for Piers to issue a direct appeal to the king on any matter.

Meghan will be using her title while promoting her new lifestyle brand, a fact that has apparently outraged Morgan.

Although the more likely explanation for Piers’ current fit is that he’s still mad at Meghan for rejecting his advances a decade ago!

Has Meghan Markle become a “total joke” in Hollywood?

That’s the claim being made by a shocking new report from In Touch.

Sources tell the outlet that Meghan’s stock has plummeted among her celebrity friends, due to her persistent efforts to build her personal brand.

Has Meghan Markle Taken on Too Much?

“Meghan gets greedy,” an insider described as “a high-level palace courtier” tells In Touch.

“She wants everything all at once, and it’s backfiring on her again. She’s become a total joke and is overplaying her hand.”

The source notes that the duchess is currently attempting to roll out multiple projects at once.

Meghan recently launched her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which has already received endorsements from some of her A-list friends.

That project comes on the heels of Meghan and Prince Harry’s new Netflix deal.

And that was announced around the same time as Meghan’s podcasting deal with an outlet called Lemonada.

“That clearly didn’t go down well with Lemonada,” notes the palace insider.

“They surely expected to be Meghan’s priority project, but she must have decided she had bigger fish to fry with Netflix.”

The premiere of her Lemonada show has now been pushed back to 2025. And there’s a growing feeling that Meghan has overextended herself.

“Meghan’s new ventures are destined to fail. She has no experience in building a brand. And someone must tell her she needs to be more likable to be marketable,” says the palace source.

“If the public doesn’t like you, they won’t get behind you, and no amount of money you throw at the problem will make it go away,” the insider adds.

Meghan Markle Has Become a ‘Joke,’ Insider Claims

From there, the source accuses Meghan of being a “control freak” who harbors a desperate desire to be universally beloved.

“Meghan is a control freak who’s finding out you can’t order someone to like you. She should have learned that lesson during her disastrous time at the palace. But she’s too blinded by her own ambition to see it,” says the insider.

“No wonder people are laughing, on both sides of the Atlantic! We hear Harry’s laid down the law,” the source continues.

“He’s mortified by the blowback over their sketchy projects and is insisting he won’t tolerate another show business disaster. If the new projects go belly-up again, they are going to have to find new ways to pay their bills, including crawling back to the royal family.”

Is Meghan Making Enemies In LA?

A Hollywood insider echoes these comments and alleges that Meghan wants to reap the rewards of a stellar Hollywood career without putting in the work.

“Hollywood is glam and glitz on the outside, but the real stars have worked hard for their success — and you get the impression hard work isn’t really Meghan’s thing,” the source tells In Touch.

“She was a nobody when she married Harry in 2018 but immediately thought she deserved a place at the A-listers’ table,” the insider adds.

“Now, after all her failures, those A-listers — and the royals — are laughing at her!”

Needless to say, Meghan Markle has been paying her dues for decades. And there many in LA, London, and all points between who view the duchess as anything but a “joke.”

Still, there may be some legitimacy to the fears that Meghan has overextended herself.

It’ll be interesting to see if she’s able to meet all of her professional obligations in the year to come.

Is Prince William a bit jealous of Prince Harry’s freedom?

That’s the claim being made in a surprising new report from Us Weekly.

According to the outlet, the ongoing feud between William and Harry is still simmering.

There were hopes that the brothers might set aside their differences amid the current slate of crises.

As you’ve likely heard by now, William’s wife, Kate Middleton, is battling cancer.

And confirmation of Kate’s condition came on the heels of the reports that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer.

Both ailing royals have chosen not to reveal any specifics with regard to the type or severity of their cancer.

Harry will travel to the UK this month for the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, a multi-sport athletic competition for wounded veterans.

And there was talk that Harry might take the opportunity to reconcile with his estranged brother.

But it seems that the reason for the trip is a sensitive subject for William.

Prince William: Jealous of Prince Harry’s Success?

Harry helped found the Invictus Games back in 2014.

The event is now considered the single most successful royal humanitarian project of the 21st century.

So perhaps it’s not surprising that one insider thinks William is a bit jealous.

“William is a bit envious of [his brother’s] freedoms,” the source told Us.

Journalist and royal expert Ed Owens echoed those remarks in a recent interview. He suggested that William might like to have such an impressive accomplishment on his resumé.

“Harry has done remarkable things,” Owens told Us. He added that Invictus “now has international presences. And I think that international stage is something both brothers are clearly vying for.

“That international limelight really sets Harry’s work apart from other members of the royal family,” says Owens.

William and Harry: Battling For the International Spotlight?

Journalist Robert Jobson agrees, telling ABC News that William seems to be a bit jealous of his brother’s success.

“I think there was a degree of jealousy about how well it had gone,” Jobson said in February.

“I do think that William was surprised how much this had been such a success. And how much money was being thrown into it and how many governments were getting involved.”

Obviously, it’s unlikely that William will ever publicly admit to being envious of his younger brother’s success.

But whatever the cause, those who were hoping for a brotherly reunion next week will likely be disappointed.

Kate Middleton and Prince William just marked their 13th wedding anniversary.

The Princess of Wales, of course, has been keeping a lower profile in recent weeks as she continues to deal with health issues.

After removing herself from the public eye at the start of this year, Kate recently revealed that she’s been battling cancer.

After sharing her diagnosis, Kate continued to keep a much lower profile than usual.

Earlier this month, the royals celebrated Prince Louis’ sixth birthday behind closed doors.

Now, it looks as though Kate and William took a similarly low-key approach to celebrating their anniversary.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Celebrate 13th Anniversary Privately

William and Kate acknowledged the occasion publicly by tweeting a never-before-seen photo from their wedding day.

Other than that, however, the Waleses celebrated privately.

According to to Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, the couple prefers to mark such occasions “very privately and quietly,” even in less troubled times.

Burrell says that William prefers to treat Kate “as his wife, not as a princess,” and he’s kept up the “family tradition” of presenting the princess with a piece of custom jewelry on each anniversary.

“Both his father and his grandfather fell into that tradition, they both had jewelry made for their wives on a special occasion,” the retired butler tells The New York Post.

Burrell says that Will and Kate maintain a minimal household staff, and he likely cooked for her on their anniversary.

William Cooks For Kate, Says Butler

“They don’t have a full-time cook. They borrow staff from the King whenever they have dinner parties or something formal,” Burrell reveals.

“Privately, they will muddle through themselves. William is quite capable of rustling up a decent meal in candlelight for him and Kate,” he adds.

Burrell notes that William and Kate celebrate their relationship frequently.

“[William and Kate] do have date nights outside their anniversary. They take private time out for just the two of them, they will just have a nice romantic candlelit dinner for themselves,” says Burrell.

The butler claims that these private celebrations are an important part of William and Kate’s marriage.

“They make a special effort to do that because their life is such a public one. They treasure the private moments,” he tells the Post.

Kate’s Battle Continues

Kate has chosen to keep the details regarding her health issues to herself.

That’s her right, of course, and we hope that the press and public will continue to respect her privacy.

It might be quite some time before we receive any conclusive updates regarding Kate’s condition, but we continue to wish her well, and we’re happy to hear that she’s receiving the support she needs.

How Kate Middleton Celebrated Wedding Anniversary With William Amid Cancer Battle was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

King Charles appears to be making progress.

In a statement sent to journalists on April 26, Buckingham Palace said the monarch “will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis.”

The same palace confirmed in February that King Charles was suffering from this illness.

We still do not know the type of cancer nor the precise treatment King Charles has been undergoing.

We can now confirm, however, that he will visit a cancer treatment center to meet medical specialists and patients with Queen Camilla on April 30.

It’s understood that the center has not been directly involved with the King’s medical care.

“This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements His Majesty will undertake in the weeks ahead,” the statement continued, as the palace tries to silence speculation that Charles in very poor condition.

Just recently, we heard that plans for the King Charles funeral were very much in the works.

These plans may not be executed for quite some time, though.

Charles is now booked to host a state visit at Buckingham Palace for the Emperor and Empress of Japan in late June.

King Charles started cancer treatment just weeks before his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, did the same.

She began chemotherapy in late February, although her diagnosis wasn’t made public until last month… following months’ worth of tabloid scrutiny about her whereabouts.

The palace has not disclosed the type or stage of her cancer, either.

According to at least one source, King Charles has pancreatic cancer, which would not give him many years left to live.

To emphasize, we cannot confirm this diagnosis, however.

This king’s reign got underway with the September 2022 death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, who was on the throne longer than any other British monarch.

Charles’ coronation took place eight months after this tragedy.

Friday’s statement from Buckingham Palace, meanwhile, concluded as follows:

“As the first anniversary of The Coronation approaches, Their Majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world throughout the joys and challenges of the past year.”

Back in February, Charles said this in his first public comments since the diagnosis:

“I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days.

“As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.

“It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organisations which support cancer patients and their families across the U.K. and wider world.

“My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”

Meghan Markle is in the process of promoting her new lifestyle brand.

And what better way to get the word out than by calling in some favors from her most famous friends?

As we’ve previously reported, Meghan is hard at work rolling out American Riviera Orchard, a company that will curate the finer things in life for the sort of well-off folks who run in the duchess’ inner circle.

It’s expected that Meghan will eventually partner with luxury brands and release a slate of her own products — sort of like what Gwyneth Paltrow’s done with Goop.

But in the meantime, she’s starting out with a much more rustic approach.

Meghan Markle’s Lifestyle Brand Gets a Soft Launch

As The Daily Mail reports, Meghan recently mailed out 50 jars of artisanal jam made from fruit grown near her home in Montecito.

The lucky recipients, or “jamfluencers,” are friends of Meghan’s, at least some of whom happen to be celebrities who are now helping the duchess create buzz for her brand.

Mindy Kaling, Chrissy Teigen, Kris Jenner, and Tracee Ellis Ross are just some of the celebs who have taken to Instagram to publicly thank Meghan for the fancy preserves (complete with hand-numbered label).

We’re sure Meg enjoys gifting swanky items to her famous friends — but generosity might not have been the main motivator here.

According to PR expert Nick Ede, Meghan was able to launch the equivalent of a multimillion-dollar ad campaign, and all it cost her was 50 jars of jam.

“Most campaigns in the modern era are accompanied by ‘influencer’ gifting, but I would suggest that Meghan Markle’s influencer network is slightly more grand than most,” Ede explained to the Mail this week.

“Her little black book of celebrity contacts will be the thing of PR dreams, and so her first product launch was always going to be a huge media success,” he added.

“The true test will come with her follow up products and keeping people interested in what she is doing.”

Meghan’s Jam Strategy

Thus far, Meghan’s efforts seem to be paying off.

Only eight of the 50 jam recipients have been identified, and the situation has created excitement on social media, as Meghan fans guess at who else may have scored a jar.

“The key to success is to try and keep the story running for as long as possible,” says Ede.

“Get the news of the launch out there, tick, then keep drip-feeding more information every few days in order to keep people interested.”

In the years since the couple left the UK, there’s been a great deal of debate over Meghan and Prince Harry’s abilities as entrepreneurs.

But if Meghan can generate this sort of buzz just by mailing out a few jars of jam, then her critics might have severely underestimated her!

In recent weeks, there’s been a great deal of speculation surrounding Kate Middleton’s cancer treatment.

Kate revealed her diagnosis back in March, but we still have very few details about her condition.

In fact, Kate seems to be taking a cue from her father-in-law, King Charles, who is also battling cancer.

Both royals have thus far declined to offer any specifics with regard to the type or severity of their respective cancers.

Fortunately, while little is known about the specifics of Kate’s condition, the updates we’ve heard thus far have indicated that the Princess of Wales is well on her way to a full recovery.

Kate Middleton’s Cancer Treatment: What Do We Know?

Again, the royals are being quite secretive about Kate’s illness and her course of treatment, so there’s very little that we can report with any certainty.

But some reliable information has been revealed, including a new report from Hello! magazine, which claims that the crisis has only strengthened Kate’s relationship with her husband, Prince William.

“It has been tough on both of them, not least as parents, as they try to reconcile their children’s mental wellbeing and the seriousness of her diagnosis,” journalist and royal expert Robert Jobson tells the outlet.

“But there is no question that William has been Catherine’s rock. He is the constant in her life, and she is at the heart of his.”

Jobson notes that William and Kate’s 13th wedding anniversary is coming up next week.

And he believes that this one will be especially meaningful as a result of everything that the Prince and Princess of Wales have endured in the past year.

“Their forthcoming anniversary is a testament to not only their love, but also their unity. I’m sure they’ll acknowledge their journey, knowing that their strength lies in being together,” Jobson said.

“The ups and downs they have weathered together have cemented their bond, which is now unshakeable.”

Kate Puts on a Brave Face For Her Kids

Other reports have indicated that Kate’s main focus these days is maintaining a sense of normalcy for her kids.

“Catherine has done her best to stick to a routine for the sake of the children,” Jobson said. “She and William know the importance of taking each day as it comes.”

Earlier this week, Kate hosted a private birthday party for Prince Louis, who turned six.

Insiders said that it was not as lavish an affair as the Waleses usually host for their kids’ birthdays.

But the fact that Kate Middleton is undergoing cancer treatment and still throwing birthday parties for her kids should be enough to put her in the running for Mother of the Year.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Kate Middleton’s Cancer Treatment: Everything We Know About Her Courageous Battle was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

As we previously reported, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are developing a pair of new projects for Netflix. And fans are wondering if the couple’s kids will be involved this time.

The two series that have been announced will both cover topics that are near and dear to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

One will focus on Meghan’s love of cooking and entertaining guests at home.

The other will delve into the world of polo, a lifelong passion of Harry’s.

Given the personal nature of the projects, it’s not surprising that fans began to hope that they’d be treated to a rare cameo from the Sussexes’ children, Archie and Lillibet.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Kids: Ready to Make Their Netflix Debut?

But according to a new report from The Daily Mail, Harry and Meghan’s kids will not appear in either of the couple’s new series.

In fact, the Sussexes are so protective of their privacy that Meghan’s cooking show will reportedly be filmed at the home of a Montecito neighbor.

The show will focus on Meghan’s approach to every aspect of hosting and entertaining — even delving into her tips for a successful vegetable garden.

But for privacy purposes, the role of the Sussexes’ home will be played by their friends’ house — and Archie and Lillibet will remain off camera.

Fans might feel let down by the news that the whole Sussex clan will not be participating in Meghan’s lifestyle series.

(The news that the kids won’t be popping up on Harry’s polo show is somewhat less surprising.)

But hopefully, the disappointed Sussex fans will be consoled by the news that they have a lot more Harry and Meghan coming their way.

Harry and Meghan’s Hollywood Era

In addition to Meghan’s new lifestyle brand, the couple will soon be promoting a new film project.

Harry and Meghan are producing a movie adaptation of Carley Fortune’s Meet Me At The Lake, a popular novel with a love story that closely parallels their personal story.

The book also features a character whose parent dies in a car crash, a storyline that would obviously be especially poignant to Harry.

According to the Mail, sources close to the couple have described the book as “right up their alley” because they “love love stories and rom-coms.”

And we’re sure fans love the idea of a rom-com produced by Harry and Meghan.

These projects aren’t the Sussexes’ first forays into the world of entertainment.

Harry and Meghan have already produced two Netflix series — one about their relationship, another about the Invictus Games.

But the Sussexes’ slate of upcoming projects seems to indicate the start of a new phase in their career — and that means their fans have plenty to be excited about.

Will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Kids Appear In Their Netflix Series? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

He still has the accent. He still loves to play polo. And we’re guessing he’ll always be down for a spot of tea.

But Prince Harry now considers himself an American citizen.

In documents obtained this week by The Daily Mail — submitted by Companies House for Harry’s eco-travel venture, Travalyst — Prince Harry states his “New Country/State Usually Resident” is now the United States of America.

It was previously recorded as the United Kingdom.

Harry and wife Meghan Markle, officially moved out of their home in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2023 … three months after King Charles III evicted them from the property, known as Frogmore Cottage.

The spouses, of course, resigned from most of their Royal Duties and moved to California back in the spring of 2020.

At a charity event shortly afterward, Harry told those in attendance:

“The UK is my home and a place that I love. That will never change.”

Harry further explained in December 2023 that he still considered the UK to be his “home,” but he and Markle felt “forced” to flee to the U.S. due to safety concerns.

“The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US,” he said in written statement read in a London court amid his legal bid for taxpayer-funded police security … which was denied.

“That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.”

The issue of Harry’s residency is of special interest these days because Donald Trump has claimed he will deport the Duke of Sussex if re-elected President.

The Prince, meanwhile, has stated that he hopes to become an American citizen one day.

Maybe. Possibly. Eventually.

“The American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind, but certainly is not something that is a high priority for me right now,” he told Good Morning America in February.

“It’s amazing,” Harry added of West Coast living. “I love every single day.”

While Harry ponders some sort of return to the Royal Family, due to his dad’s cancer diagnosis, the aforementioned filing details may actually make that impossible.

The Daily Mail has raised serious questions about whether he can remain as a Counsellor of State, one of seven members of the Royal Family who can deputise for the Monarch if he is abroad or unwell.

Said Dr. Craig Prescott, an expert on constitutional law in Great Britain, last year:

“We are really in uncharted waters here: the Prince Harry situation is not something the law easily allows for.

“The idea of the second son of the King choosing a life away from royal duties is not something the law has thought about, and I can imagine that Buckingham Palace would be concerned by that.”

As you may have previously read, King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer and now, funeral plans are at the top of everyone’s mind.

That isn’t allegedly all, however.

At least one outlet has claimed that King Charles has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and, as a result, only has two years to live.

To be clear, we cannot verify this follow-up report.

However, In Touch Weekly now writes that funeral plans are already set for the monarch amid his battle with cancer.

Titled “Operation Menai Bridge,” the king’s funeral processions will look similar to Queen Elizabeth II’s ceremonies, which were dubbed “Operation London Bridge.”

As his cancer progresses, insiders have explained to this tabloid that final resting plans are of timely importance.

They must all be approved before the unfortunate occasion of King Charles’ death.

“It’s a fairly common thing to do among the British royalty, but in Charles’ case expediency is necessary,” says an In Touch source, noting that “some courtiers believe Charles’ cancer is worse than they’re making it out to be.”

It’s worth stating that this is the same magazine who provided us last month with the aforementioned two-year timeline.

Operation Menai Bridge is set to include familiar protocols to those who have been following The Royal Family.

When the monarch dies, Charles’ body will be moved from the throne room at Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.

He will lie in state…. and his official funeral will take place nine days later. He will most likely be buried in the royal vault at Windsor Castle.

“It will have all the pomp and circumstance befitting a British monarch,” In Touch also now writes, having reported a couple weeks ago:

“King Charles is much sicker than the palace lets on and simply isn’t up to the job of running his fractious family, the crown’s business interests and fulfilling the daily duties of the monarchy.

“His cancer is eating him alive. He’s very frail. The situation is desperate.”

How very, very sad.

King Charles’ Cancer Treatment Going Poorly, Source Claims

According to a surprising new follow-up report from The Daily Beast, insiders say that King Charles’ battle with cancer is going poorly, and planning for the monarch’s funeral is already underway.

“Of course he is determined to beat it and they are throwing everything at it. Everyone is staying optimistic, but he is really very unwell. More than they are letting on,” says one insider, adding:

The plans have been dusted off and are actively being kept up to date. It’s no more than what you would expect given the king has been diagnosed with cancer. But the circulation of them has certainly focused minds.”

“Of course they are looking at every aspect of Menai Bridge,” a second source added.

“The queen’s funeral went like clockwork and set a high bar. It’s not an emotional thing, it’s a job, one taken very seriously, and understandably no-one plans to get caught out.”

King Charles, of course, isn’t the only member of this world famous family to have cancer.

A short time ago, Kate Middleton announced to the world that she also has a form of this illness.

“[I am] so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,” a statement issued on the king’s behalf read in late March.

The message also said the king, who received treatment in the same hospital as Princess Kate, has “remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks,” adding that he and his wife “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.”

We’ll have further updates on Charles’ treatment as new information becomes available.

Oops, Andy Cohen is now saying.

His big bad.

On the Monday presentation of his Sirius XM radio show, the Bravo executive immediately used his time on air to issue a mea culpa.

Of all the famous people who questioned what was going on with Kate Middleton for several weeks, Cohen’s voice rang among the loudest.

Back on March 19, when video footage of Middleton out and about with Prince William went viral, Cohen used Twitter to push a conspiracy theory by typing simply:

“That ain’t Kate.”

From what we can now gather, of course, this was Kate Middleton.

And we’ve since learned that she has been diagnosed with cancer, hence her reluctance to step into the spotlight or speak about her condition until forced to do so.

“We’ve been off the air for a week,” Cohen explained on April 1.

“I just want to say, I am heartbroken by the news about Princess Kate. I think someone on Sky News called me a ‘numpty’ during that whole conversation, and they were right.”

He added:

“Of course, I wish I had kept my mouth shut, and we are all praying for Princess Kate and King Charles.”

In Cohen’s defense, Kensington Palace did not make it easy to understand what Middleton was going through, as a spokesperson simply said she had abdominal surgery in January.

It wasn’t clear, though, why she receded to such an extent from the public view — and then there was the family portrait Photoshop disaster.

We’ve all been very confused for a very long time, which is why Cohen and previously Blake Lively have offered apologies in the wake of learning the truth.

That truth was finally confirmed on March 22 when Middleton released a video in which she said the following:

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful.

“However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”

She went on back then:

“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

“But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ​OK.

“As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.”

We continue to wish Middleton the very best in her recovery and hope to see her return to her Royal Duties in the very near future.

We’re rooting for her!

Is Meghan Markle blocking the path to a reunion between Prince Harry and Prince William?

That’s the claim being made by a prominent UK journalist and royal expert, who claims that the brothers would already be in the process of burying the hatchet, were it not for Meghan’s interference.

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Kate Middleton and King Charles are both battling cancer.

Initially, there were hopes that the situation would lead William and Harry to set aside their differences and come together for the good of the family.

Now, however, it looks as though Charles’ sons will continue living separate lives.

And Richard Fitzwilliams maintains that it’s all Meghan’s fault.

Meghan Markle Is Blocking a William, Harry Reunion, Expert Claims

“The problem is it’s a very deep rift,” Fitzwilliams — one of the UK’s foremost royal journalists — tells The Sun.

“Meghan has the say. There’s no doubt Harry wishes to convey he is a very devoted family man and will put them above everything else, just like William.

Fitzwilliams notes that Harry will be traveling to the UK in May to mark the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

But be doubts that the occasion will be used for healing deep family rifts.

“Harry will be here at some point in May, and maybe before then to see King Charles,” said Fitzwilliams.

“The problem is the King and Princess of Wales have their diagnoses, and no one knows the state of what precisely William and Harry have said to each other when they spoke briefly. The rumors have been that it wasn’t an in-depth talk.

“Meghan isn’t obviously keen on visiting Britain because she is not popular here. Nor is Harry, but it’s different for him.”

Fitzwilliams suspects that Meghan will not make the trip, and he predicts that she’ll use Harry’s failed police protection lawsuit as an “excuse” for staying home.

“She has the perfect excuse not to come over because Harry has lost his security case.” he says.

“If she comes there will be a huge amount of adverse publicity because of the way she has acted for the past four years.”

And now that Harry and Meghan have been evicted from Frogmore Cottage, they would be forced to arrange their own security detail as well as their own lodging.

“Meghan has every right to come but they have been thrown out of Frogmore and for a good reason,” he says.

“Spare and the interviews around it were horrible, frankly.”

Fitzwilliams doesn’t make a very strong case that the bad blood is all Meghan’s fault — in fact, his argument underscores the fact that this family has been torn apart by numerous rifts only some of which involve the Duchess of Sussex.

But he’s almost certainly correct in his prediction that the British and American factions of the royal family will not be mending fences anytime soon.

Meghan Markle Blocking Prince Harry, Prince William Reunion, Insider Claims was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Amid the greatest crisis the royal family has faced in recent memory, there are concerns that after less than two years as Prince of Wales, Prince William may be unfit to take the throne.

And it seems that those concerns not just coming from fearful outsiders.

According to a new report from In Touch, King Charles himself is worried that William might not be ready to step into the role of monarch.

Charles, of course, spent decades preparing for his ascension, but William sadly may not have the same luxury.

At 76, Charles is battling cancer, and though the severity of his condition and the organs affected remain unclear (more on that later), insiders say the king is bracing himself for the worst.

That means preparing William to serve as monarch, a role Charles only stepped into in 2022.

Obviously, William has been in the spotlight his entire life, but the transition from Prince of Wales to King of the United Kingdom is a tricky one to navigate, and concerns about the heir’s qualifications are said to be exacerbating the current strain on the royals.

Prince William: Unfit to Rule, Or Simply Unprepared?

“Charles knows the pressures of being the monarch,” a source tells In Touch.

“And he just isn’t sure William is ready to take his place. It seems premature, and there could be consequences.”

One issue, it seems, is a perceived lack of maturity on William’s part.

Yes, Prince Harry might have a reputation as the family’s resident partier, but it seems that William still enjoys an occasional pint or four at his local.

According to In Touch, William is known to sip a few beers after work, followed by “several glasses of wine with dinner,” leading him to “wake up crabby.”

“Charles has counseled him that there can be no more carefree outings to the pub anymore,” the insider claims.

There are also concerns about William’s temper, especially after a passage in Harry’s memoir detailed a physical altercation between the brothers.

“Word is, the altercation Harry mentioned in Spare wasn’t the first to occur,” a second source claims.

“There was a growing rivalry between William and Harry ever since they were little and sometimes things got heated between them.”

All of this has led to great concern, as William has more on his plate these days than ever before.

In addition to the fact that William’s wife, Kate Middleton, is battling cancer, there have been rumors that the king’s condition is far worse than the public has been led to believe.

In fact, one insider alleges that Charles has pancreatic cancer and may not be long for this world.

King Charles Prognosis: Is It a Worst-Case Scenario?

“He has pancreatic cancer and has a maximum of two years to live,” the source tells In Touch.

The source adds that Charles “is willing to try any treatment to extend his life by a few years, at least,” but he’s well aware that when it comes to preparing William for the throne, time is of the essence.

“William does a very good job putting on a smile and calm face in public, but it does bother him,” the insider adds.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Is Prince William ‘Unfit’ to Rule? King Charles Reportedly Concerned Amid … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Carole Middleton is living every parent’s nightmare at the moment:

Her daughter, Kate Middleton, has been diagnosed with cancer.

The Princess of Wales made this shocking announcement in a video she shared on social media last Friday, telling the public at the time:

“I have been doing everything [I] can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

Prior to this confirmation, Kate Middleton conspiracy theories were prevalent around the Internet, as observers tried to figure out why she had disappeared from public life after undergoing abdominal surgery on January 16.

We now know the answer, of course.

We don’t know Middleton’s type of cancer; nor do we know exactly when she might be able to resume any sort of official Royal duties.

But we know that Kate is following a “course of preventative chemotherapy” and is “now in the early stages of that treatment,” which means she’s more or less incapacitated in general.

Enter Carole Middleton.

“Carole has been the driving force keeping the family together with minimum fuss and maximum modesty,” a source recently told The Independent, referencing both her three young grandkids and a famous fictional character as follows:

“She’s ferried and fetched George, Louis and Charlotte, taken them to school sports matches and given them endless support.

“She’s been a real Mary Poppins-like figure.”

Carole is 69 years old and founded a company in 1989 that sells supplies for children’s parties.

She has mostly tried to stay out of the spotlight ever since her daughter met and then married Prince William… but folks may be seeing a lot more of her in the days and weeks ahead.

“She’s come to the rescue, provided reassurance, and has been a rock to Catherine and William as they come to terms with the news,” this same insider explains.

Middleton, of course, has been receiving words of encouragement and support from basically anyone who has ever met her ever since revealing this diagnosis.

Heck, even rivals Prince Harry and Meghan Meghan relayed a message last week that reads:

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

Most recently, Sarah Ferguson has reached out to her fellow cancer patient.

“All my thoughts and prayers are with the Princess of Wales as she starts her treatment,” Fergie wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.

“I know she will be surrounded by the love of her family and everyone is praying for the best outcome.”

Following her bombshell announcement, Middleton and Prince William went out of their way to express the gratitude for the well wishes they have received.

“The Prince and Princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message,” this follow-up statement says.

“They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.”

The feud between Prince William and Prince Harry has been raging for years, and it seems that not even a succession of family crises can convince the warring brothers to set aside their differences.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Kate Middleton revealed last week that she’s battling cancer.

The announcement came on the heels of weeks of speculation and controversy, as Kate disappeared from public life without the royals giving any reason for her absence.

Kate’s diagnosis follows news that King Charles is also fighting cancer, and there were hopes among royal watchers that the situation might lead William and Harry to bury the hatchet.

Harry and Meghan Reach Out

Harry and wife Meghan Markle issued a statement expressing support for Kate at this difficult time.

But rumors that the couple reached out and made peace with the Princess of Wales during her recovery appear to be inaccurate.

However, a new report from The Independent indicates that Harry and Meghan did reach out to William following Kate’s announcement.

Royal expert Tom Quinn tells the outlet that the Sussexes contacted William after learning of Kate’s diagnosis,, but neither party suggested that they “should make up and let bygones be bygones.”

Quinn added that it was “hardly the kind of warm, informal response” that might bode well for a future reconciliation.

Shockingly, it seems that Harry and Meghan found out about Kate’s diagnosis the same way the rest of us did — from the news.

According to insiders, no one from the family reached out to the Sussexes ahead of Kate’s announcement last week.

Journalist Richard Fitzwilliams tells The Sun that he believes Harry and Meghan were not informed due to “endless problems” they’ve caused Charles and company in recent years.

“The reason, of course, is that for some four years, they’ve caused endless problems for the Royal Family, and so they can’t be trusted,” he said.

Prince William vs. Prince Harry Feud: Where Do They Stand Now?

So it seems that hopes of a William and Harry reconciliation are officially DOA.

The brothers have been united by traumatic episodes in the past, and many were hopeful that the challenges faced by their family would lead the princes to refocus on the importance of family.

Sadly, Harry and William appear to have made up their minds about the future of their relationship.

It’s very unfortunate, but it’s true:

Sarah Ferguson can relate to Kate Middleton at the moment.

The Duchess of York confirmed just this past January that she had been diagnosed with cancer for the second time, in this insance for skin cancer… just months after she announced she had been diagnosed with breast cancer last June.

Relatedly, as the world found out on March 22, Middleton also has cancer.

We don’t yet know the type of cancer Middleton has been battling for just over two months now.

“All my thoughts and prayers are with the Princess of Wales as she starts her treatment,” Fergie wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.

“I know she will be surrounded by the love of her family and everyone is praying for the best outcome.”

As crazy as it may be, King Charles was also recently diagnosed with cancer — and may only have two years to live.

The monarch issued his own statement in response to the Middleton news over this past weekend.

“[I am] so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,” he said through a Kensington Palace spokesperson.

The statement also said the king, who received treatment in the same hospital as Princess Kate, has “remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks,” adding that he and his wife “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.”

For her part, The Duchess of York added a day ago:

“As someone who has faced their own battles with cancer in recent months, I am full of admiration for the way she has spoken publicly about her diagnosis and know it will do a tremendous amount of good to raise awareness.

“I hope she will now be given the time, space, and privacy to heal.”

Ferguson was married to Prince Andrew from 1986 to 1996; she has remained fixture at Royal Family events and shares two daughter — Princess Beatrice, 35, and Princess Eugenie, 34 — with her controversial ex.

Earlier this month, Fergie learned that skin cancer has not spread.

It appears to be too early to know exactly what is going on with Middleton’s diagnosis and/or status.

“My medical team [has] advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” she told the public in the Instagram video that confirmed her cancer.

“This came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

Following her announcement, Middleton and Prince William went out of their way to express the gratitude for the well wishes they have received.

“The Prince and Princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message,” this follow-up statement reads.

“They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.”

Prince Harry’s name is entering the bombshell chat, as new details surrounding the sex trafficking lawsuit against Diddy are coming to light.

After just learning his sister-in-law has cancer from TV while also facing deportation himself, the former royal now finds himself mixed up in a serious case involving the famous rapper.

How and why? Let’s dive in.

Prince Harry Named in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Sexual Assault Lawsuit

There are just some times when you don’t want to be name dropped.

Like, when a certain media mogul is being accused of sexual assault and trafficking.

As you well have heard by now, Sean “Diddy” Combs is under investigation after being accused of just that.

Producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a $30 million lawsuit against the music mogul in February 2024. He alleges Diddy participated in acts such as sexual misconduct, grooming and sex trafficking.

In court documents published by several media outlets, Prince Harry name appears alongside other A-lister “affiliation.” 

To be abundantly clear, Harry is not accused of any wrongdoing; rather, he is being used as an example of the level of celebrity associated with Diddy and his parties.

“Mr Combs was known for throwing the ‘best’ parties,” the court documents read. “Affiliation with, and or sponsorship of Mr Combs’ sex-trafficking parties garnered legitimacy and access to celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians and international dignitaries like British royal, Prince Harry.”

Again, nowhere does it say that Prince Harry was involved or had any knowledge of anything sinister happening at the parties.

Prince Harry’s Partying Past

It’s not clear how many times Prince Harry partied with the media mogul in his youth.

It’s well documented that the young royal, along with his brother Williams, attended the Concert for Diana: Live at Wembley Stadium July 1, 2007 to honor their mother’s 46th birthday.

The six-hour long extravaganza included performances from Elton John, Lily Allen, Kanye West, and even Diddy himself.

Photos of the Diddy and Prince Harry meeting backstage show the pair smiling and enjoying the good time.

But that’s where the story ends, as far as we know. All allegations of wrongdoing are made against Sean, not Harry.

Shannen Doherty can relate to Kate Middleton.

It’s tragic, but it’s true.

Late last week, the actress shared a message on Instagram shortly after Middleton revealed to the world that she has cancer.

This reveal came two months after Middleton underwent abdominal surgery and amid a number of rumors regarding just why the Princess of Wales had disappeared from public life.

Shannen Praises Kate Middleton’s Cancer Reveal

We’re sure you’ve read all about these Kate Middleton conspiracy theories at this point.

While praising Middleton for sitting calmly and explaining her condition to the world on Friday, Doherty — who is battling stage IV breast cancer — also did her best to shame the Internet trolls, haters and critics.

“Being a public figure does not mean the public owns that person. We ALL have the right to go through illness or life privately,” Doherty began.

“The onslaught of conspiracy theories, ownership, and plain, morbid curiosity forced this person to explain herself before she had come to terms with it and explained to her children.

“I pray this is a learning moment for us all to respect, privacy or others, regardless of being in the public eye.”

Doherty is sort of right here.

Yes, Middleton is entitled to privacy… but Kensington Palace clearly tried to fool the public about her status, even going so far as to force Kate to release a family portrait in honor of UK Mother’s Day.

It then forced Middleton to claim responsibility for editing the photo after it became clear the image had been doctored.

Really, all the Palace had to do as soon as the cancer was discovered (back in January) was to release a statement of its own that confirmed this unfortunate truth — and then no one would have said a single negative word.

Shannen Admires ‘Her Strength’

But anyway. Back to Doherty.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum ended her post by sharing a heartfelt message for Middleton directly.

“Princess Kate, I admire your strength through the endless onslaught you’ve been under while going through cancer,” Doherty wrote.

On that point, we all hopefully agree.

On March 22, Middleton shared a two-plus minute long video in which she revealed she’s been battling cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy following weeks of speculation about her health and her whereabouts.

“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment,” she said in the footage.

“My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery…

“At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”
