Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan: Netflix documentary and memoirs should contradict each other

What happens now with the Netflix documentary of Prince Harry, 38, and Duchess Meghan, 41? What will happen to Harry’s memoirs? Questions that have arisen especially after the death of Queen Elizabeth. First it was said that both could be postponed out of grief and respect for the family. But at least Netflix insists on releasing it later this year. Harry and Meghan still wanted to make changes to the documentary series. Now it becomes clear why.

Allegedly there should be contradictions between the content in Harry’s book and statements in the documentary. A source told Page Six: “A lot of the show contradicted what Harry wrote, so that was a problem. Then Harry and Meghan [an die Filmemacher] made significant requests to take back content that they themselves provided for their own project.” It is not known exactly what the contradictions are about.

Sarah Ferguson congratulates daughter Princess Eugenie on her wedding anniversary

It’s been four years since Princess Eugenie, 32, and Jack Brooksbank, 36, said “yes” to each other at St George’s Chapel. Prince Andrew’s daughter, 62, used the occasion to make a public declaration of love for her husband by posting a romantic photo showing the two kissing in the carriage on their wedding day.

But her mother Sarah Ferguson, 62, did not miss the chance to congratulate her youngest daughter. The mother of two published several photos from October 12, 2018, which either show her daughter alone in the wedding dress or the newlyweds together at the wedding. The fans are delighted with the many pictures and send lots of hearts to Sarah Ferguson and Princess Eugenie.

King Charles greets Premier Liz Truss with an ‘Oh dear’

Prime Minister Liz Truss, 47, will probably not soon forget this greeting by the new king – after all, it also took place in front of the cameras. During his first weekly audience with the politician, King Charles made a small faux pas. “Your Majesty, it’s nice to see you again,” the 47-year-old greets Charles, who then smiles and asks, “Back again?” “It’s a great pleasure for me,” Truss replies in a very professional manner. But when the king seems to want to bridge a brief, awkward silence, he is heard murmuring, “Oh dear, oh dear” before quickly following up with “Anyway, well…”.

His small slip could have been due to the avalanche of criticism Liz Truss is currently facing for her tax policies. Amid a political and economic crisis in Britain, her Conservative Party has plummeted in the polls. This should not leave the new king indifferent just a few weeks after taking office.

Princess Eugenie: never-before-seen fourth wedding anniversary photo

It’s been four years since Princess Eugenie, 32, and Jack Brooksbank, 36, tied the knot in George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on October 12, 2018. A lot has happened since then: last year in February, the two parents of little August Brooksbank, 1, became Eugenie’s father, Prince Andrew, 62, who fell out of favor with the abuse scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein, † 66, and her beloved grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, † 96, has died.

But despite the sometimes shocking news about her family, the love between Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank was not diminished – on the contrary. “Happy anniversary, my Jack. 4 years and counting,” Eugenie now writes on Instagram, sharing a previously unseen picture of her wedding day kissing her Jack lovingly.

Like all photos of the wedding, this picture was taken by Alex Bramall. The large folded V-neckline of her wedding dress and the lavish wedding bouquet with white roses are particularly recognizable. After tying the knot four years ago, the newlyweds took a ride in a royal carriage drawn by four white horses and were cheered and congratulated by the crowd.

Mike Tindall is set to take part in the UK jungle camp edition

His marriage to then-Zara Phillips, 41, daughter of Princess Anne, 72, made ex-rugby union player Mike Tindall, 43, a member of the British royal family. Since then, he has become an integral part of royal weddings, anniversary celebrations or, most recently, the funeral service for Queen Elizabeth, † 96. Will he now spill private details from the inner circle of the palace on prime-time reality TV? At least according to The Sun newspaper. Because an insider claims that the former top athlete was allegedly committed to the upcoming season of the British jungle camp.

“It’s a huge coup. Mike has had a front row seat to some of the most important moments in royal history for generations,” said the anonymous source, who suggested Zara’s husband “will be sure to be discreet.” And yet “his mere presence” will surely deliver strong ratings. Does Mike Tindall really care about “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” (Eng.: “I’m a star – get me out of here!”) will take part remains questionable. So far, Tindall himself has not responded to the rumours.

Prince William hints at trauma from his mother’s death on radio show

In the special on BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat, Prince William, 40, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, 40, not only hosted the program and spoke to mental health activists and experts, they also brought their own experiences. William was particularly concerned with the topic of trauma and what “tools” or “aids” one needs to deal with difficult and traumatic situations.

“A lot of people don’t realize what they need until it actually happens. One minute you’re in the middle of life and something’s changing massively and you realize you don’t necessarily have the tools or the experience to handle it will.” William is probably referring to the moment when he lost his mother Princess Diana, † 36, in a car accident in Paris as a teenager. Communication is an important tool for dealing with traumatic experiences.

For good reason: Catherine, Princess of Wales, and William are trying their hand at radio presenting

Prince William, 40, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, 40, are known to be true media professionals. But can they also host a radio show? If it’s an issue close to the heart of the couple, obviously it is. The royal power couple recorded a special show with BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat to mark World Mental Health Day on Monday September 10, 2022. In the program, William and Kate spoke to activists and experts in the mental health field.

In a pre-recorded trailer, Catherine announces with a wink, “Newsbeat will sound a little different.” Her lover explains: “In celebration of World Mental Health Day, Catherine and I recorded a special where we take over the radio to talk about the importance of mental health.”
