Prince Andrew embarrassed by his situation as King Charles sidelines him as a ‘diminished man’: expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova

A royal palava!

Prince Andrew is “embarrassed” about his dire current situation and is staying off the radar to avoid further humiliation, according to a royal expert.

In a desperate bid to pinch a few pennies, the disgraced Duke of York has kept himself busy by attempting to maintain the 21 acres of garden on his royal family-owned estate.

Andrew, who was poised to leave the Royal Lodge after his brother King Charles cut him off financially, has taken on yard work after no longer being able to afford help.

According to royal commentator Hilary Fordwich, the former working royal is licking his wounds from the fallout of his many recent controversies.

“Prince Andrew has voiced, to friends, he’s embarrassed [by] his situation,” Fordwich claimed to Fox News.

“The declining disrepair and decay of his residence has become a spectacle, a visual reflection of the broader fallout from his despicable involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and further fall from royal favor.”

Fordwich added that the monarch, 76, is hell-bent on keeping his disgraced younger brother at arm’s length and on the sidelines.

“The definite is that for Andrew, there is no return to being a major royal figure, nor even being part of the family ever,” she told the outlet. “He is, deservedly so, a much-diminished man.”

Prince Harry visa case to have first hearing under Trump, court date set

By Nika Shakhnazarova

Prince Harry is set to learn his fate as a US resident as his visa records will come under scrutiny in the duke’s first court hearing under President Trump.

The Duke of Sussex scored a major legal victory in September after a judge ruled that his US visa will stay private after the Heritage Foundation tried to get his application released to prove whether or not he mentioned his past drug use.

Now, a federal judge has ordered Harry and the think tank to appear in court on Feb. 5 in Washington, DC. Judge Carl J Nichols set the hearing for 2 p.m., the Daily Mail reported.

It will mark the first court appearance since Trump’s return to the White House after the former working royal’s visa status was thrust into doubt following the release of his tell-all memoir, “Spare,” in 2023.

In a lawsuit last year, the conservative think tank sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for access to Harry’s visa documents to determine whether he made false statements about prior drug use.

Harry, 40, admitted in his 2023 memoir, “Spare,” that he experimented with cocaine, cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms — behavior he would have been required to disclose on application forms filed before he relocated to the US in 2020.

The Heritage Foundation insisted that Harry — who resides in Montecito, Calif., with wife Meghan Markle and their two children — didn’t mention his history with drugs on his application forms filed before he quit royal life and left the UK.

Prince Harry appears in  2025 WellChild Awards video from Montecito home

By Alexandra Bellusci

Prince Harry made a surprise cameo to support the 2025 WellChild Awards.

In the Tuesday video, which appears to be shot at his and wife Meghan Markle's Montecito home, the Duke of Sussex asked the public to submit nominations for the 20th annual ceremony.

"Each year, the WellChild Awards, in association with GSK, recognize and celebrate the growing number of young people with complex medical conditions from across the United Kingdom as well as those who go the extra mile to care for them,” Harry began in the clip. “They allow us to shine a spotlight on the remarkable stories of strength, resilience and courage that they demonstrate every single day.”

WellChild raises money for children and young people with exceptional health needs to be cared for at home instead of hospitals. Prince Harry has been a patron of the organization since 2007.

“This year is especially significant as we celebrate the 20th WellChild Awards,” he continued. “It is a true privilege to honor the bravery and compassion of this incredible community.”

Prince Harry also asked the public to nominate “exceptional people who inspire you every single day” for the award ceremony, which is set to take place later this year.

“Your support can make all the difference,” concluded the prince. “So, please join us in recognizing the amazing individuals who will be recognized at the 2025 WellChild Awards.”

The duchy was established by King Edward III in 1337 as a means to provide income for the heir to the throne. The private estate, owned by the British royal family, spans about 130,000 acres across England and Wales, with farmland, property and commercial businesses.

The Prince of Wales arrived at the 630-acre farm, run by Phil and Heather Gorringe along with their son, Monty, to see the new grain store and regenerative farming equipment at work.

Meghan Markle suffers another setback as her podcast series is delayed: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova

Meghan Markle has faced another setback as her podcast is facing further delays.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, inked a deal with Lemonada Media in Feb. 2024 to launch a new podcast series after Spotify decided not to renew the steep $20 million deal for a second season of “Archetypes.”

While the new podcast was supposed to launch last year, the “Suits” alum was forced to pump the brakes on its release after Lemonada was reportedly “struggling to get off the starting blocks.”

A source has now told Hello! Magazine that the mom of two’s dive back into the podcast arena will have to wait.

Insiders told the outlet that similarly to the delay of her upcoming Netflix lifestyle series “With Love, Meghan,” the former working royal’s podcast’s launch has been affected by the LA wildfires.

By Nika Shakhnazarova

A promotion fit for a (future) queen!

King Charles is reportedly looking to grant Kate Middleton the power to hand out royal warrants.

The Princess of Wales, 43, is making a gradual return to public-facing duties after a year of cancer treatment behind closed doors.

As she prepares to return to her normal workload, it appears as though the monarch is looking to issue a major promotion to Prince William’s wife in the coming months.

“King Charles is extremely fond of his loving and resilient daughter-in-law,” royal commentator and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News.

“He holds her in high esteem. I’m sure he will be honored to implement a major royal first,” she said, adding that Charles, 76, is keen to give his “beloved” daughter-in-law the royal honor.

The beloved royal will be the first Princess of Wales in 115 years who will be granted the honor.

According to the royal family’s website, a “Royal Warrant of Appointment” is an honor handed out by senior members of the Firm to businesses, brands and people they support.

It’s a “mark of recognition” to those who “have regularly supplied goods or services to the Royal Household,” the description adds.

Prince Harry 'is in exile' after falling out with his family: expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova

Prince Harry is on his own after having a falling out with his royal family members, experts say.

“Harry is in exile — he chose it,” royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams recently told Fox News. “It’s lonely, and he will undoubtedly miss his friends and family. There is no sign whatsoever of the rift in the royal family healing. King Charles and the Prince and Princess of Wales have, to put it mildly, other priorities.”

Fitzwilliams added, “I don’t doubt he wishes they had managed to arrange a half-in, half-out arrangement [with the royal family], especially as his military links meant so much to him.”

Meanwhile, royal expert and photographer Helena Chard claimed that Harry has no hope of reconciling with his estranged relatives.

“A self-assured, self-titled, angry Prince Harry thought it was completely OK to publicly verbally annihilate his family,” said Chard.
