Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny have joined Daniel Craig in the ensemble for Rian Johnson’s next Knives Out film, Wake Up Dead Man.
Considering the exorbitant amount that Netflix paid Rian Johnson to make two Knives Out sequels, it figures that we have to see at least some of that reported $400m on the screen. That was certainly true in 2022’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery which boasted one of that year’s most stacked ensemble casts. As the third film in the series, Wake Up Dead Man, moves towards production, we’re already looking forward to a string of high-profile names joining the project.
According to What’s On Netflix, we already have our first two names. Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny have joined the cast for the upcoming film. O’Connor is one of the stars of Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, not to mention portraying Prince Charles in The Crown.

Princess Beatrice is getting into the game—the royal game, that is. King Charles III reportedly wants his 35-year-old niece to help out by making more public appearances due to the royal family’s packed summer schedule. Ahead, when Beatrice is expected to join the king. Plus, why she’s “desperate for her chance to shine.”
Buckingham Palace is figuring out how to ‘best deploy’ Beatrice
According to a Daily Mail report, things behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace include “how best to deploy Beatrice.” The oldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson is a non-working royal, meaning representing the monarchy isn’t her job.
However, she does occasionally attend events such as Trooping the Colour, the sovereign’s annual birthday parade, and major holiday gatherings such as Easter and Christmas.

It seems the royal rift can—and has—gotten worse. A commentator suspects tensions have only increased between King Charles III and Prince Harry since the latter’s U.K. visit to mark 10 years of the Invictus Games. The Duke of Sussex reportedly “bruised” his estranged father with his statement about them not being able to meet.
Harry’s statement about his father being too busy to see him ‘set the mood’ for U.K. visit
Apparently, Harry came out swinging when he touched down in London, England, on May 7, 2024. Shortly after his arrival—Meghan Markle stayed behind in California with their children; Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 2, later joining him on a trip to Nigeria—Harry answered the question commentators and royal watchers had been asking for weeks: Will he see his father?

On the heels of King Charles III and Prince Harry not seeing each other during the latter’s recent visit to London, England, a commentator says the monarch knows there’s a certain level of “stress” that comes with seeing his youngest son. It’s something the king’s likely known for years, ever since a “hostile” phone call at the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
King Charles likely realized the ‘stress’ associated with seeing Harry in September 2022
Calling it a “shame” the father and son didn’t get together, commentator Jack Royston shared on the Royal Report podcast there’s still something Harry and King Charles have to deal with before they can have a stress-free in-person meeting, and that’s potential “floating anxiety.”

Allegations that Meghan Markle mistreated members of her staff when she was a working royal have been swirling for years. Following a leaked email from one aide claiming they were “bullied” by Prince Harry’s wife and quit for that reason, the Palace launched an investigation.
More accusations that the Sussexes’ aides were bullied made headlines when Valentine Low published his book Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown. The veteran reporter wrote that those who were able to stick it out on Harry and Meghan’s staff called themselves the “Sussex Survivors Club.”
There were also reports that Prince William stepped in on more than one occasion when the duke and duchess’s employees were on the verge of quitting. Now, a royal author is revealing how Meghan reportedly responded to her brother-in-law’s concerns.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have decades of experience navigating royal life between them. However, that hasn’t always been the case. While the Prince of Wales was born a royal, his wife, the Princess of Wales, married into the royal family. Even early on in their relationship, William knew his now-wife of 13 years would be under scrutiny. That’s why he reportedly gave Kate access to a “crisis” hotline.
William made an ‘emergency hotline’ to palace staff for Kate
Kate and William, who met as students at the University of St. Andrews, quietly started dating in the early 2000s. William, now 41, “was all too aware from the start the kind of pressure a[nd] great deal of attention his partner would receive,” The Mirror wrote.
The Prince of Wales was “deeply concerned about how Kate would be able to manage the scrutiny that comes along with any close association with the royal family.

Royal ladies wear some of the most beautiful jewels in the world. We’ve seen them in sparkling tiaras, dazzling necklaces, and of course, stunning diamond engagement rings.
The Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) is rarely seen without her iconic engagement ring, which once belonged to Princess Diana. But another royal is rarely photographed with her ring on.
Here’s who that is and why she barely wears it in public.

Apparently, things are changing in Prince Harry’s estrangement from his father, King Charles III, and brother, Prince William. Not toward a potential reunion, but, according to a commentator, who among them wants an apology. Spoiler: It’s no longer the Duke of Sussex who wants an apology.

According to royal commentator former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, the “tables have turned” ever so slightly. Harry, she told Radio Times, used to be the one calling for an apology. Now it’s his father—and brother— who want one.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly have no “red carpet” experience courtesy of King Charles III heading their way. Why? Because of Prince William’s “animosity” toward the couple. That means no summer invite to Balmoral Castle for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Meanwhile, King Charles is focused on his “absolute priority” for the British royal family.
King Charles is prioritizing ‘unity of the monarchy’ and forgoing a Sussex Balmoral invite
It seems the king won’t invite Harry, Meghan, and their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 2, for fun at the royal family’s Scotland retreat. That means no father-son reunion and spending time with his California-based grandchildren for King Charles.
As a friend of the Prince of Wales told Daily Beast, the king’s main focus is keeping the monarchy together. Considering William’s strong feelings about Harry and Meghan, the king’s opting out of a potential Sussex family invite.

Peter Morgan, creator of Netflix’s award-winning drama “The Crown,” is weighing in on King Charles III’s new, highly divisive portrait.
“The picture is at least partially successful, I think,” Morgan told me Friday at an FYC event for the “Crown’s” final season. “I belong more to the positive side, but I’m not trying to give it five stars. I’d certainly go three or four out of five. I like that it’s vivid, I love that it’s got us talking, I love that it arouses emotions. It immediately makes you want to look more closely.”
The portrait, the first of the king since his coronation, was unveiled at Buckingham Palace on May 15. The 8.5 by 6.5-foot painting by British artist Jonathan Yeo proved to be divisive for its bold red hues. The canvas depicts King Charles III wearing a Welsh Guards uniform while holding a sword.

(One of the Prince of Wales’s nicknames is One Pint Willy.) Rather, change Harry’s appearance ahead of his 2018 royal wedding to Meghan Markle by shaving off his beard.
Harry worried William would shave off his beard at his 2018 bachelor party
In addition to the many bombshells in Spare, Harry also gave an inside look at his and the Duchess of Sussex’s royal wedding. On May 19, 2018, the two wed at St. George’s Chapel inside the walls of Windsor Castle.
As Harry revealed, the tension went well beyond the bridesmaids’ dresses, Meghan’s tiara, and her father’s absence from the ceremony. Somehow, his beard became embroiled in the wedding drama.

King Charles III is back to work, public appearances and all. But that hasn’t stopped Prince William from worrying about his father. The Prince of Wales, 41, is reportedly concerned his “workaholic” dad will overexert himself after 11 weeks out of the public spotlight for cancer treatment.
William is worried as King Charles gets back to work
According to The Sunday Times, while King Charles couldn’t wait to return to work, William’s been worried his dad would do too much too soon.
“He wants to make sure his father is balancing his recovery,” a friend of William’s told the publication. “He knows his dad loves work, but he does worry about him.”
Another source claimed King Charles didn’t do very well with a light schedule, describing him as a “caged lion” eager to leave palace walls.
An insider said, “He holds himself to very high standards of public service.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 royal wedding wasn’t without some drama. There was, of course, friction involving the bride’s tiara as well as the flower girl dresses. However, the royal wedding drama didn’t end there. Other things were problematic behind the scenes for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
1. Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding: The palace ‘had trouble focusing’
In his 2023 Spare memoir, Harry revisited his and Meghan’s nuptials, including what happened behind palace walls leading up to the May 19, 2018, ceremony.
He and Meghan found it “hard” to “focus on the million and one details of planning a royal wedding” while dealing with drama involving Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, at the time.
(Meghan’s dad didn’t attend the royal wedding. King Charles III walked Meghan—halfway—down the aisle.)

The royal wedding of Princess Diana and then-Prince Charles in 1981 was a spectacle for the ages. The couple’s lavish nuptials were watched by over 700 million people worldwide and appeared to be a Cinderella story come alive. However, the marriage was significant for breaking two remarkable royal traditions.
Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ wedding ended over 300 years of royal tradition
In a break with tradition, Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ wedding hosted their nuptials at St. Paul’s Cathedral. This venue choice was significant as the royal family traditionally held their wedding ceremonies at Westminster Abbey.
Before Diana and Charles’ nuptials, the last time a royal wedding took place at St. Paul’s was on Nov. 14, 1501. That ceremony was between Arthur, Prince of Wales, and Catherine of Aragon, who were each 15 years old at the time, per The History Press. The marriage lasted six months, as Arthur died after a long illness.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s trip to Nigeria said it all. A commentator says the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent a message with their three-day visit to the West African country. But not necessarily one Harry’s father and brother, King Charles III and Prince William, will welcome. Rather, one they probably “don’t like” at all.
Harry and Meghan’s Nigeria trip likely has Charles and William ‘worried’
On the heels of Harry’s stint in London, England, marking the Invictus Games anniversary, he and Meghan traveled to Nigeria.
Tom Quinn told the Mirror that whatever Harry and Meghan did, whether delivering a speech or touring a charity, it resembled an official royal visit.

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, reportedly faces the prospect of eviction from his Royal Lodge mansion, owned by the monarch’s estate, as he struggles to keep up with the $503,000 annual upkeep of the $37 million property.
According to royal expert Ian Pelham Turner, King Charles III, Andrew’s elder brother, is grappling with the decision to issue an eviction notice to the disgraced royal. “Prince Andrew is fighting very hard to remain a senior royal,” Pelham told Fox News. “The problem is his home is in total disrepair. I believe Charles feels that spending money on Andrew would not go down well.”
The queen reportedly asked Charles on her deathbed to look after Andrew, who was always considered her favorite son.
The property has issues such as dampness, crumbling brickwork, peeling paint and falling plaster, all of which require significant financial investment.

The last shreds of hope Prince Harry may someday reconcile with the British royal family are seemingly gone. An insider says what unfolded during the Duke of Sussex’s few days in London, England, ahead of his and Meghan Markle’s trip to Nigeria made that clear. Not only did King Charles III and Harry not meet, but his father gave Prince William a meaningful job.
The royal family reminded Harry he’s an ‘outsider’ while dashing any reconciliation hopes
After announcing the ceremony at the start of Harry’s U.K. visit, King Charles officially handed over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, the regiment Harry served in, to his brother.
According to an insider, it marked the “final nail in the coffin” of a potential reconciliation. “Harry has been stripped of security, stripped of his Hrh title, denied a meeting with his father,” they told The Daily Beast.

After months of battling cancer, King Charles is ready to return to the public spotlight full-time. He’s looking to increase his royal engagements, and he’s reportedly like a “caged lion,” according to a royal commentator. However, his wife, Camilla, Queen Consort, is reportedly “holding him back.” What is her reason for doing so?

Official portraits of royalty or politicians are often very staid and forgettable. That is not the case with King Charles’ first official portrait.
Painted by celebrated artist Jonathan Yeo, the eight-plus-foot-tall work is certainly striking. It features a fine characterization of the king’s face looking benignly down at the viewer. His visage is set off by a sea of red behind him which blends with his uniform, reportedly that of the Welsh Guards, a division of the British Army in which Charles is regimental colonel.
Yeo has painted luminaries such as Charles’ wife, Queen Camilla, British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and David Cameron, Dennis Hopper, Nicole Kidman, Sir David Attenborough, Jamie Oliver and Rupert Murdoch.
He also made a portrait of the king’s father, Prince Philip. “He was a bit of a caged tiger,” Yeo told the New York Times. “I can’t imagine he was easy as a father,...

As the world collectively mourns Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) in The CrownSeason 6, Part 1, a father sits alone in his grief. “There’s no mention of you anywhere, as if only one person died,” Mohamed al-Fayed (Salim Daw) says to a vision of his dead son Dodi (Khalid Abdalla) in Episode 4 of Season 6.
The groundbreaking series has always relied on historical research to tell the story of the British royal family, but creator and showrunner Peter Morgan deviates from reality by including scenes of Diana and Dodi posthumously appearing to their loved ones. While Diana shares a conversation with a grief-stricken Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Queen Elizabeth (Imelda Staunton), Dodi and his father, Mohamed, have a long-overdue heart-to-heart.
“When people die, there is a certain energy of them that remains very close — and there are ways in which they speak,” Abdalla tells Tudum about the scenes.

Prince William headed to Cornwall for two days in a visit that, according to a royal expert, bodes well for Kate Middleton’s recovery. They say it’s a sign the Prince of Wales is “relaxed” as his wife, the Princess of Wales, continues to undergo cancer treatment—and send the occasional thank-you note. Ahead, what William did on the trip, plus his brief update on how Kate’s doing.
William traveled to Cornwall for a solo visit on May 9
William, who returned to royal duties in April 2024, traveled to Cornwall for a two-day visit on May 9, 2024. Meaning he spent the night away from Kate, who is being treated for cancer after revealing her diagnosis in March 2024.
There, William checked up on his forthcoming housing project as part of the Duchy of Cornwall, a centuries-old private estate for the Prince of Wales. He also learned about water safety at Fistral Beach.

As many royal fans can recall, the Prince Of Wales was quite upset when he realized that his brother Prince Harry was more popular in Africa than he was and that’s why he wanted him to do less charity work in the continent.

Who’s wearing it today?

Per Express, Princess Diana was reportedly gifted a 13-carat aquamarine stone by her friend Lucia Flecha de Lima. De Lima, the wife of the former Brazilian ambassador to London, befriended the princess in 1990.
Paul Hird, head of luxury auctions at John Pye Luxury, told the news outlet, “The ring consists of an emerald-cut aquamarine amongst small solitaire diamonds set within 24-carat yellow gold.

King Charles III is down “points” after skipping Prince Harry’s Invictus Games anniversary service. His absence has been widely perceived as a “snub” in the British press. However, a royal biographer thinks the king has a chance to redeem himself, and soon. How? By making a nod to the Duke of Sussex when he hands over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, the regiment Harry served in, to Prince William—another move widely seen as a “snub”—in an upcoming ceremony.
Charles ‘lost a few points’ by not joining Harry at the Invictus Games anniversary service
The Duke of Sussex didn’t see his father while in London, England, marking 10 years of the Invictus Games. Not in a brief meeting like in February 2024 or publicly at the games’ anniversary service.

Prior to King Charles‘ coronation, one of the big questions people had was: Would Prince Louis be there?
On May 6, 2023, that question was answered when Prince William and the Princess of Wales’ (formerly known as Kate Middleton) youngest son arrived at Westminster Abbey alongside his parents and his sister, Princess Charlotte. But at some point during the service, Prince Louis mysteriously disappeared and many wondered when he was whisked away.
Now, video footage has resurfaced of the moment the prince needed a break behind the scenes.

The ceremony to crown Louis’ grandfather ran for two hours so it’s understandable that the young prince got a little antsy sitting in church and was taken away for a while.

Being a grandfather is complicated for King Charles III. Amid his ongoing rift with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the leader of the British royal family rarely gets to see Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 2. As a result, per a commentator, the king is likely “showering love” on the rest of his grandchildren to compensate.
