King Charles’ cancer diagnosis has put Prince William in a complicated personal and professional situation. Reportedly, the king’s firstborn son may choose family over the firm.
A royal reporter believes Prince William must make a difficult decision
Camilla Tominey, associate editor of The Telegraph, believes that Prince William must make a difficult decision as he grows into his royal role. She thinks he may have to decide between family or the firm.
“There is an expectation and need for Prince William to stand in if the king is unwell. For instance, concerning the King’s weekly audience with [Prime Minister] Rishi Sunak, constitutionally, it would be inappropriate for Queen Camilla to fill that function,” Tominey explained.
“Though it may be appropriate now for Prince William to say he’s prioritizing immediate family and his wife over the family firm, what will that look like in weeks to come?” Camilla explains. “The...

Despite what royal watchers once thought, Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle and Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) never formed a tight sister-in-law bond. In fact, they weren’t ever close. For years there have been different theories about why that is and some think Meghan didn’t like always being outranked and No. 2 behind Kate.
Feuling that theory is a resurfaced stinging remark the former Suits star made when she learned that Kate was getting first dibs on a designer she liked.
Here’s the three-word comment Meghan uttered when she became angry that the princess got priority over her.

King Charles and his older son, Prince William, have always had a solid relationship. The two men are currently the two most important working royals, with Charles on the throne and William preparing to take his father’s place at some point down the road. However, despite that the two men are on good terms, a palace insider reveals just how often Charles calls his older son — and it sounds like the two men don’t speak as much as we would have thought. Of course, it’s no secret that Charles doesn’t often chat with his younger son, Prince Harry, either.

King Charles III’s coronation centered around, well, the king. However, a royal expert says he wasn’t the only one putting on a show. The king’s daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, flexed her muscles as a “growing power” in the royal family. How?

It seems Prince William and Kate Middleton will avoid moving to Windsor Castle if they can. According to a royal expert, the Prince and Princess of Wales are “happy” living nearby at Adelaide Cottage since making the move from Kesington Palace.

During an appearance on the U.K.’s This Morning, royal expert Camilla Tominey shared William and Kate don’t necessarily want to trade their “cottage” for more grand living arrangements at Windsor Castle.
“The Waleses don’t want to move into Windsor Castle because they’re actually quite happy in Adelaide Cottage, which, by comparison, is modest accommodation,” she said (via Express). “Not by comparison to us, but by comparison to royal accommodation.”

Sophie Wessex has been playing ‘peacemaker’ between the Sussexes and the royal family. Pic credit: ©ImageCollect.com/Alpr/AdMedia
Sophie, Countess of Wessex, may have a formal role in the royal family, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t dabble in less formal roles as well.
Just as every family has certain roles that members take on, for example, the parental favorite, the middle child, and the one most likely to live in their parent’s basement, Sophie has taken on the role of family ‘peacemaker.’
While that could be a difficult job in any normal family, playing peacemaker among the royal family must be a level of stress few can imagine.
She was known for having an extremely close bond with the Queen and perhaps learned a thing or two about pragmatism from the late monarch, who went through life with a stiff upper lip, as the British would say.

In a brief statement, the company said: “Following the merger between Discovery and WarnerMedia earlier this year our portfolio now includes several wholly owned news brands including CNN Worldwide, Tvn Group in Poland and Newshub in New Zealand.

When the royal baby arrives, Kate Middleton and Prince William will be the first to see him or her.
According to recent reports, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be the only ones present in the delivery room upon the baby’s arrival.
"She very much wants just her husband to be there," NBC News royal expert Camilla Tominey said Monday, explaining that there "are no plans for Duchess Kate's mother and sister to join her in the delivery room."
Though they will not be in the delivery room with their daughter, Carole and Michael Middleton are reportedly in the London hospital awaiting their grandchild’s arrival. Kate’s sister Pippa is also waiting with the family.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson told NBC, "Things are progressing as normal" with Kate's labor. We won't have official confirmation, however, until a royal press officer emerges from the Lindo Wing carrying a document.

Kate Middleton and Prince William want the royal baby's arrival to be a special moment shared between them—not the whole family! On Monday, Buckingham Palace denied rumors that Carole Middleton and Pippa Middleton were going to be present in the mom-to-be's private Lindo wing suite at St. Mary's Hospital.

All of England (and much of the world) is on pins and needles awaiting the Royal baby, first offspring of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. There were reports of her due date being anywhere from July 11 to 17, which have (mostly) come and gone.
But now a new NBC News report says that Kate's mom, Carole, has told friends that the baby will be a Leo -- an astrological sign whose dates don't begin until July 23, nearly a week from now.
Royal contributor Camilla Tominey adds that since Kate spent the last weekend at her parents' house, "that would suggest that she's at least not expecting her baby until next week," because the Middleton house is miles from the London hospital where she'll give birth.
When the baby finally is born, Prince William will first call his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, then a courier will take the bulletin from the...
