British royals: number of stalkers rises to 170
Is the British royal family in danger? As “Mirror” reports, the number of stalkers who are fixated on Queen Elizabeth, 96, Prince Charles, 73, and Co. has increased from 141 to 170 in the past year. Ten of the 170 stalkers are classified by the police at the “highest risk level”, 128 represent a medium risk and only 32 a low risk.
“The vast majority of people who are fixated on the royal family are harmless, but there’s always concern that their obsession could take a worrying turn,” said Dai Davies, the former head of security for the British royal family.
But why has the number of stalkers increased by almost 30? For Dai Davies, the growth could be due to the events surrounding Prince Andrew, 62, and Prince Harry, 37, in recent months: “It would not surprise me in the slightest if the negative media coverage of Prince Andrew and Prince Harry related, has led to an increase in the number of people reported to the police.”

Prince Harry: Will the Netflix deals get in the way of a reconciliation with Prince William?
Since Prince Harry, 37, with Duchess Meghan, 40, left the British monarchy, the relationship between him and his brother Prince William, 39, has been bad. At the Queen’s platinum jubilee, the two will meet again for the first time since July last year. A good way to put past disputes out of the way, isn’t it?
As a palace source reveals, William is very suspicious about his brother’s upcoming visit. Finally, Meghan and Harry recently signed a deal with streaming giant Netflix. William fears the pair will use the Queen’s 70th anniversary to gather information and push themselves to the fore, a source told The Sun. “William wants to talk to Harry to bridge the gap between them, but he’s afraid it might appear on Netflix, Oprah Winfrey, or in Harry’s upcoming book.” And that fear doesn’t seem unfounded, as royal biographer Tom Bower is also suspicious of the former monarch’s visit, telling The Sun: “Kate and William would be stupid if they weren’t suspicious and they would be unwise , if you weren’t careful.”
It remains to be seen whether the once inseparable brothers can still save their relationship.

Lady Louise Windsor could move the Queen to tears with this performance
Her appearance at the platinum jubilee of her grandmother Queen Elizabeth, 96, will probably be one of the most moving moments of the celebrations: Lady Louise Windsor, 18, will drive the carriage of the late Prince Philip, †99, during the Royal Windsor Horse Show, including the “Mirror” reports. The event is designed to give special recognition to the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh’s tremendous contribution to the world of equestrian sport.
Louise’s work on her grandfather’s carriage could not leave a dry eye. Prince Philip drove his carriages with passion and was able to get his granddaughter interested in the sport at an early age. He is said to have personally taught the daughter of his youngest son Prince Edward, 58, how to drive. It is hoped that the Queen will actually be able to witness the granddaughter’s heartwarming tribute to her late husband. The monarch had severely restricted her growing immobility in recent months. She will probably not be able to take part in all the program items for her anniversary. From June 2nd to 5th, 2022, her 70-year reign will be celebrated in a big way: In addition to the traditional horse show, after a two-year Corona break, the “Trooping the Color” birthday parade will finally take place again in the well-known formation. There will also be a concert at Buckingham Palace, a spectacular pageant and, to top it off, street parties and picnics everywhere on June 5th.
