Catherine, Princess of Wales + Prince William: Actor Miles Teller makes faux pas at meetings
Actor Miles Teller, 35, had the honor of welcoming Catherine, Princess of Wales, 40, and Prince William, 40, on the red carpet at the UK premiere of action hit Top Gun: Maverick in London this May meeting.

On the late-night show with US talk show host Jimmy Fallon, 48, he revealed about meeting the royals: “I screwed it up right at the start. You shouldn’t put out your hand right away unless they do it.” . However, he didn’t think of that at the moment and held out his hand to William. Certainly the excitement, it’s not every day you meet the future King of Great Britain and his wife. Even if Teller is a bit ashamed of his faux pas, he still has fond memories of the moment. It’s probably because Catherine and William were “very charming”.

As the funeral procession carrying the coffin of Queen Elizabeth, † 96, traveled in the hearse along the Long Walk, a tree-lined path leading to Windsor Castle on September 19, cameras captured a moment that touched millions: Amidst the flowers laid for the Queen, stable master Terry Pendry waited with her beloved pony, Emma.

For the past fifteen years, Queen Elizabeth has regularly rode Emma for light exercise in the Windsor Castle Park, when Her Majesty has private time. Emma will continue to be much loved and cared for at the Royal Mews in Windsor and coached regularly by the small, dedicated team.”

Catherine, Princess of Wales reveals sweet detail about Prince George
A visit to the maternity ward at Royal Surrey County Hospital on Wednesday October 5 brought back sweet memories of becoming a new mum for Catherine, Princess of Wales, 40. The Brit got sentimental while cradling a newborn in her arms. “George was huddled like that too, he even spent a few days like that,” she recalled, according to “Hello”, after the birth of her firstborn.
The 40-year-old is now the proud mother of three children and even the baby, Prince Louis, is no longer a baby at four. A circumstance that Catherine sometimes has to remind herself. “I always think Louis is a baby, but he’s a big boy now, it seems like yesterday,” said Prince William’s wife nostalgically. After all, her “baby” started school in September.

And that means a lot to me. She was just very, very special.”

Duchess Meghan protects Harry
The trouble doesn’t seem to stop! Duchess Meghan, 41, is currently facing a lawsuit from her half-sister Samantha Markle, 57. Among other things, it is about Royal’s statement in an interview with US talker Oprah Winfrey in March 2021 that she grew up “as an only child”. In addition, her relative believes that statements in the book “Finding Freedom” by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand were misrepresented and that she was subjected to “humiliation, shame and hatred on a global level”. She is now demanding damages of $ 75,000 (around 74,000 euros) – and testimonies from her father Thomas Markle, 78, and her brother-in-law Prince Harry, 38, in court.
“In addition to the negotiating parties, she [Samantha, Anm. d. Red.] 19 independent witnesses have been called, including Prince Harry, Meghan’s mother, Oprah Winfrey and various journalists and media personalities who are in the UK, including Scobie and Durand, the authors of Finding Freedom,” Duchess Meghan’s lawyers said The Royal wants to prevent it.”[Samantha Markle] should not force Meghan and possibly numerous bystanders to expend considerable resources on external revelations (…)”, explain the lawyers of the prominent defendants. In the meantime, the lawyers have asked the judge to temporarily approve the process of gathering and releasing evidence stop. The lawsuit has not yet been upheld.

That’s why Prince Harry felt threatened by nephew George
Prince Harry, 38, has been in the public eye since childhood. Even since his retirement as Senior Royal, he has continued to seek media attention. According to Royal author Valentine Low, the son of King Charles, 73, has always been “obsessed” with being in the spotlight. This craving is said to have been particularly intensified after the birth of his nephew Prince George, 9. Harry felt compelled to take steps to stay relevant as George would eventually overtake him in importance given his central position within the royal family .
“He [Prinz Harry] had these concerns about its durability,” Low says on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, adding: “He was obsessed with the idea that when he got older – Prince George – people wouldn’t care anymore would grow up and he would be the next big thing.”

Lady Louise Windsor has a dangerous passion
Lady Louise Windsor, 18, has inherited some traditions from her relatives. She inherited her love of horseback riding from her grandmother Queen Elizabeth, †96, grandfather Prince Philip, †99, taught her to drive a carriage and, like her cousin Prince William, 40, she attended St. Andrews University in Scotland. With a dangerous hobby, however, the daughter of Prince Edward, 58, and Countess Sophie, 57, seems to be a pioneer in her family.
The 18-year-old is the first British royal known for her passion for fencing. “She has started fencing again, which she really loves,” revealed Countess Sophie last year. She could now pursue this hobby at her university, where she began her studies a month ago. As per the official St. Andrews website, there is a fencing club there. “Our vision is to offer the most attractive university fencing program in Scotland and one of the best supported programs in the UK.” Three times a week in a total of nine hours, the students can improve their skills here.

Duchess Meghan lost her composure because of a “Vanity Fair” cover
When Prince Harry, 38, and Duchess Meghan, 41, were at the beginning of their relationship, King Charles’ youngest son, 73, was very careful to protect his girlfriend from the press, as Valentine Low writes in his new book “Courtiers : The Hidden Power Behind The Crown”. In an excerpt that “Daily Mail” already has, he describes a situation that Meghan is said to have made extremely angry. After the royal love became public, the then actress’ former PR consultants were no longer up to the tasks that came with her new celebrity status. So the Duchess of Sussex hired Keleigh Thomas Morgan, who had already looked after Hollywood greats like Salma Hayek and Jane Fonda.
With Morgan on board, Meghan agreed in an interview with Vanity Fair for the October 2017 issue that the palace didn’t object either. However, the 41-year-old was anything but satisfied with the result. The cover of the magazine featured a close-up of her and the caption read, ‘She’s Just Wild About Harry’. “Meghan hated it,” Low writes. The reason? The line is from the 1939 film Babes in Arms, in which Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney perform the song “I’m Just Wild About Harry.” The two then committed blackfacing for the number. Therefore, the article left a “racially motivated” impression on Meghan. Meghan was initially very angry with Morgan because she had allowed this. Eventually, however, the situation calmed down.
