Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly been keeping a record of their correspondence with Buckingham Palace since their return to the UK. A source claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are doing so for their own “protection”. The insider told Closer magazine: “Meghan and Harry don’t want to react to every problem, but they say they’ve learned the hard way that they need to keep a record of what’s being said and agreed to by people within The Firm, because the goal posts constantly change.”

They added the Sussexes “say the only way to keep track properly is to catalogue and save everything”. It comes after the Palace withdrew an offer for Harry to stay at a royal residence during a trip to Britain in the summer. Buckingham Palace insisted the Duke had not accepted the invitation in time.

The Sussexes were reportedly “a little bit surprised” after The Firm sent officials a letter clarifying that Harry and Meghan remain non-working members of the Royal Family.

Princess Kate lifts lid on relationship with Princess Anne behind-closed-doors

Princess Catherine has been a member of the Royal Family since 2011, when she married Prince William. While she was not born into the Royal Family, Catherine has always got along very well with her husband’s royal relatives, especially some of the more senior members of the Royal Family.

While it is well-known that she is adored by her father-in-law, King Charles, and much-loved by William’s auntie, Duchess Sophie, not many people know who else in the family she gets on well with. However, when in Scotland the other day, the princess hinted at this herself. In a rare admission about the private lives of the royals, Catherine shared an insight into Princess Anne – Prince William’s auntie.

Prince Harry reveals parenting habit which is very similar to Prince William’s

Prince Harry has shared one of his desires as a parent, and it seems that it isn’t too different to that of his estranged brother Prince William. The Duke of Sussex, who is the proud parent of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, has had a chaotic month since relocating to the UK with his family in August.

Despite the dramas the move has brought, including with his security and his uncle’s bombshell book, it seems that he is still trying to make the most of being back in Britain. This has seen him already step out at charity events close to his heart, including at the 2026 WellChild Awards. As patron, the duke gave a speech at the event and met the inspiring award winners.

King ‘warming’ to Harry and Meghan – but relationship with 1 royal ‘will never change’

King Charles III is “warming” to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a royal journalist has claimed. However, the commentator also revealed that the Sussexes’ relationship with another member of the Royal Family “will never change”.

According to Omid Scobie, who was once dubbed Harry and Meghan’s “cheerleader”, the relationship between the King and the Sussexes has moved forward in recent times. The King met with the Sussexes earlier this summer for a private meeting at Highgrove House. The meeting marked the first time he had seen Meghan, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet since 2022. It is also reported that Harry has been in regular contact with his father since returning to the UK at the end of August.

Prince Harry reveals ‘most British thing’ he does with Meghan, Archie and Lilibet

Prince Harry revealed the most “British thing” he has done with his family since moving back to the UK last month. The Duke of Sussex, who has spent the last six years living in California, is back on home soil after relocating back to the UK in August.

In one of his first solo appearances since being back this week, the duke shed some light on what moving back home has been like. This comes after a lot of drama has surrounded his UK move, mainly as a result of security matters and his uncle Earl Charles Spencer’s book.

Earl Spencer humiliated as he faces embarrassing new Diana claim

Earl Spencer did not particularly speak to his sister, the late Princess Diana, unless he wanted privileged seats or tickets, a former royal butler has claimed. The earl has been dominating headlines recently following the release of his new book this week about the late Princess of Wales.

Swan Song: Diana, My Sister features a series of bombshell claims about the King. In it, Charles Spencer claims that the King, then the Prince of Wales, said about Diana, “we’ll forget her soon enough” during an argument over whether the then Princes William and Harry should walk behind their mother’s coffin in her funeral procession. The memoir also alleges the King “sounded giddily elated – like a lottery winner” when he spoke to the earl after Diana’s death.

King Charles makes quip about health in candid admission

The king made a candid quip about his health during a visit to Scotland earlier this week. King Charles was visiting Peterhead Port in Aberdeenshire to learn about upcoming projects in renewable energy.

But while unveiling a plaque to commemorate his visit, he made a joke about whether he’d be around to see it finished. He said: “It’s fantastic to see such a remarkable effort and teamwork and coordination. Whether I shall still be alive by the time you complete it, I don’t know!”

King Charles has been receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer for more than two years after being diagnosed in January 2024. But he said in December 2025 that an early diagnosis and effective intervention meant it could be scaled back.

Princess Kate hosts special tea party at Windsor Castle as she shares new message

The Princess of Wales hosted a tea party at Windsor Castle for fellow Three Peaks Challenge finishers, including a nine-year-old amputee and a runner who became the fastest person to complete the endurance challenge while running between each peak.

Catherine, who climbed the tallest peaks in Wales, Scotland and England in less than 24 hours in June, invited some of the people she met during her own climb for an intimate chat over tea and cake. A video of the special afternoon was shared by Kensington Palace, accompanied by a personal message from the princess in which she said that the challenge was a “powerful reminder that recovery is rarely a journey we make alone”.

The 30-second video showed Catherine, who wore a maroon belted dress with her long hair in mermaid waves, chatting with the nine guests in one of the state rooms of the Berkshire royal residence.

Those invited for tea and cake included 11-year-old Ted Haslam, whom Catherine met several times during her challenge. Ted completed the Three Peaks Challenge while being pushed and carried in his wheelchair by his father, Pete, and 15 family members and friends, raising money for the children’s charity Molly Ollys.

Sarah Ferguson insider breaks silence on plans for explosive autobiography

New reports that Sarah Ferguson is planning to pen an explosive autobiography have been rubbished by an insider. The source said there is no truth in the story and that the former Duchess of York “has no plans to write any tell-all memoir” and is “unaware of any multi-million dollar book deal”.

The denial comes shortly after reports that Ms Ferguson is “days away” from making a deal regarding her autobiography. The Sun reported that a chapter-by-chapter synopsis has already been written, with detailed notes on “key subjects,” which reportedly include her thoughts on her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor; Jeffrey Epstein; King Charles; and Harry and Meghan.

Ms Ferguson has kept a low profile following damaging fresh details regarding her connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She has continuously denied all wrongdoing.
