As the oldest son of Prince William and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton), Prince George‘s future was already predetermined from the day he was born. As the eldest child of the future king, George himself will be king one day. He will spend his adult life working on behalf of the Crown before the day he is crowned and will then continue a life of duty.
When he was a toddler though, long before he knew about his destiny, he had another job in mind that he wanted to do. That happened to be the same occupation his father wanted when he was a kid as well but for a different reason.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stunned millions of people around the world when they chose to step down from their royal roles in 2020. Even more surprising was that following their exit, they did a series of interviews and tell-alls airing out the royals’ dirty laundry and claiming they were unfairly treated when they were working members of the family.
By the Sussexes’ account, a feud had been brewing between Prince William and Prince Harry for some time which is also something much of the public hadn’t been aware of. That’s because from the outside the brothers were always thought to be the best of friends and going all the way back to the days when their mother was still alive, they appeared so happy together.

British royal family news reveals that Princess Kate has achieved Yeti status due to her disappearance from public life and the vast speculation that’s caused.
Conspiracy theorists went off the rails on Sunday after a photo of her, no doubt meant to calm the waters, was “killed” by news agencies hours later. The image was manipulated by the source they said, and news of Kate’s death roared again.
Of course there is no reason to believe anything untoward about the princess, Kensington Palace said she would not be seen until after Easter following a January “planned abdominal surgery.” That being said, here are five other times the monarchy has chosen to play the public and not tell the whole truth. To their detriment.

Once upon a time before she married a prince, Meghan Markle was a working actor who starred in the legal drama Suits. The now-duchess played Rachel Zane on the series from 2011 to 2018. Meghan left the show before her royal wedding to Prince Harry, an affair that her Suits co-stars attended.
The show had a resurgence in 2023 when it became available on the streaming platforms Netflix and Peacock. And now, there’s even a new reboot in the works titled Suits: LA. Because of that, there’s been speculation about whether Harry’s wife or any of her castmates will make a cameo in the new series.

But while much of the public was excited about the direction the group would take the monarchy in the future, all was not well behind the scenes.
In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex surprised just about everyone when they announced that they were stepping down from their roles within the Firm. One year after their final engagement, royal watchers were shocked again when the pair sat down with Oprah Winfrey to discuss what life was like for them behind palace walls. During that interview, the duo painted some of Harry’s relatives in a bad light. Since then Harry has only returned to his home country a handful of times, and Meghan has been back even less than that.

Since stepping down from royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have returned to the U.K. a handful of times. Some of the royal events they attended included Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, as well as the late monarch‘s funeral, and Harry made a solo trip to attend King Charles’ coronation in May. The duke traveled to England again in September for the 2023 WellChild Awards before he and his wife head to Germany where the Invictus Games are being held.
However, a few royal experts say the duke and duchess’s visits will remain infrequent and the pair won’t ever consider returning on a permanent basis because of what Meghan would be expected to do when the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) becomes queen.

Before marrying Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan Markle was the wife of film producer Trevor Engelson. The couple was married for three years before their union ended. However, the brutal way Meghan reportedly ended her marriage shocked one royal author, who included details of the couple’s split in a 2018 book about the Duchess of Sussex.

Andrew Morton, who authored the books Meghan: A Hollywood Princess and Diana: Her True Story, revealed that sources close to the couple spilled how Meghan Markle put a period on her marriage to Trevor Engelson. The book claims Meghan’s decision came “totally out of the blue.”
Meghan and Engelson dated for seven years before tying the knot in Jamaica. However, according to Morton, Meghan was the one who pulled the plug on their union.

Once upon a time, a British prince married a beautiful woman in a fairy tale wedding. But the two did not live happily ever after.
We know now that then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana‘s marriage never did mirror a storybook. And a lot of people blamed the breakdown of their relationship on Charles’ current wife, Queen Camilla (formerly Camilla Parker Bowles), who was his mistress for several years. That’s why a resurfaced clip of King Charles joking how it would have been better for him if he had two wives has angered many royal fans.

Prince Harry went through plenty of trials and tribulations as a royal. He and his brother, Prince William, lost their mother, Princess Diana, in a tragic car accident in 1997. Harry had various girlfriends through the years, but recently alleged that the press always did their best to break them apart — and the same went for his relationship with Meghan Markle, the woman he married in 2018.
Through it all, Harry always remained close with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Though she died in 2022, she was a large part of Harry’s life, including while he and Meghan were finalizing their exit from the British royal family. And one royal biographer said the prince had a way of getting the queen to go with any “schemes” he created because she always had a “soft spot” for her grandson.

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton haven’t always been the closest of sisters in law. Meghan married Prince Harry in 2018, while Kate married Prince William in 2011, and though the public wanted the ladies to hit it off and become best friends, they never seemed to get their relationship off the ground.
Though the two women aren’t close, they are reportedly cordial, and when one of them makes a mistake, they own it. Such was the case when Kate reportedly made Meghan cry over her bridesmaid dresses in 2018, and after Kate apologized, one royal expert says Meghan extended a “peace offering.”

Humphrey Bogart is practically the face of film noir. While not quite a genre, the very flexible film movement reflected America's malaise following the Great Depression and eventually World War II. There was a grimness and heightened sense of realism to the movies, often made on lower budgets and with a documentary intensity. Even when the movies ended happily, as many did, the feelings unearthed in the telling of the story would be left unresolved to gnaw at viewers indefinitely.
Bogart, the Broadway actor turned B-movie character actor turned one of the biggest stars in the world, fit the mood perfectly. His scars and trademark lisp separated him from his more conventionally beautiful peers and gave him a natural feel for the hardboiled material.

The storylines in the fifth season of The Crown have provoked much backlash, from scenes showing the former Prince Charles trying to force the Queen’s abdication to others suggesting Prince Philip was unfaithful to the late monarch.
Prominent figures, including Judi Dench, have demanded that the drama carry a disclaimer to make clear that the events of the series aren’t entirely factual. While The Crown actor Jonathan Pryce, has called these reactions to the show “hugely disappointing”, claiming that viewers know it’s a drama, not a documentary.
Some of the storylines in season five are pretty close to the truth. Others, not so much.

Amid allegations that “The Crown” Season 5 is “exploitative” of the royal family, Princess Diana biographer Andrew Morton stands by the conspiracy theories presented in the tense season, which shows the divorce of Diana and then-Prince Charles.
“The Crown’ shows the sense of unnamed and anonymous watchers and it’s absolutely true,” Morton told The Daily Beast. “There is no need for [creator] Peter Morgan to make anything up.”
In fact, the series is so accurate that Morton found Elizabeth Debicki, who plays the ill-fated Princess Diana, to be “unnerving.?
“I was blown away by how authentic Elizabeth Debicki was in her portrayal of Diana,” Morton, who wrote the biography “Diana: Her True Story,” said. “It was like being back in the room with her 30 years ago. It was unnerving. It was like being with a ghost. It spoke to me very clearly.”

"The Crown" season five covers some of the royal family's biggest headline-making moments from the 1990s, including Andrew Morton's Princess Diana memoir, Prince Charles's BBC interview, Diana and Charles's divorce, and more. But episode two features a death that most people probably didn't know anything about, though it has major repercussions for the rest of the season.
Who Is Leonora Knatchbull?

The storylines in the fifth season of The Crown have provoked much backlash, from scenes showing the former Prince Charles trying to force the Queen’s abdication to others suggesting Prince Philip was unfaithful to the late monarch.
Prominent figures, including Judi Dench, have demanded that the drama carry a disclaimer to make clear that the events of the series aren’t entirely factual.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton has praised Elizabeth Debicki’s performance as Princess Diana in The Crown season five.
The Netflix series returned on Wednesday (9 November) with a new season and a new cast.
You can follow updates from The Independent’s live blog here.
Princess Diana, who was first introduced in season four played by Emma Corrin, is now being portrayed by Australian actor Debicki.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday (9 November), writer Morton, who worked with Diana on his 1992 book Diana: Her True Story, said that Debicki reminded him of the royal he had known.
“I don’t say this slightly but that performance really conveys the Diana I got to know for a couple of years in the early 1990s,” he said.
“I was struck just watching the episode about how the paper I typed the book on was the same paper, the typeface was the same.

Late in the fifth season of Netflix’s The Crown, Queen Elizabeth (Imelda Staunton) asks her grandson William (Senan West) for help with the complicated remote control for the palace’s new satellite dish. As William flips through the many new channels in search of the BBC, Her Royal Majesty briefly finds herself watching Beavis and Butt-head. Much like one of her predecessors, she is not amused.
It is the Nineties, and Elizabeth has agreed to get the satellite dish because her old TV and antenna are no longer up to snuff.
