Harry-Charles peace talks crumble after secret aide meeting details leak to the press
The meeting took place at the Royal Over-Seas League club, a private members' club near King Charles' residence. The aides sat on a terrace visible from a public park, so photos could be easily taken, as per the report by Daily Beast.
Leaked meeting causes trouble
Harry's team denied leaking the meeting details to the press. They did not directly accuse King Charles' office but hinted they were not responsible. Prince Harry has previously accused his family's aides of leaking stories about him to the media.

A royal author suggested Harry might have leaked the meeting to appear as the peacemaker. Under UK privacy laws, people cannot expect privacy if visible from public places like parks, so publishing photos was legal, as mentioned in the report by Daily Beast.

Host and reaction to the leak
The meeting was hosted by Tobyn Andreae, King Charles' press secretary. Before working for the King, Andreae was a senior editor at the Mail, which published the story. Andreae arrived at the meeting carrying a gift bag from wine merchants Berry Bros, which the Mail noted, as stated by the report.
The Royal Over-Seas League club is often used by King Charles' courtiers for private talks. Prince Harry's reaction to the leak is expected to be negative, as he has accused his family of leaking secrets before, as stated by the Daily Beast report.

In his book Spare, Harry called Camilla 'dangerous' and said she 'sacrificed' him for her PR. On TV, Harry said with the royal family's hierarchy, some people would get hurt, implying leaks were intentional, as stated in the reports.
Harry claimed Camilla leaked details of her first private conversation with Prince William to the press. In 2019, Prince William was reportedly angry after Charles and Camilla's staff were caught planting negative stories about him and his family to tabloids, according to the report by Daily Beast.

When Shah Rukh Khan Kissed A Young Janhvi Kapoor On Stage
A 2003 clip of young Janhvi Kapoor sharing a stage with Shah Rukh Khan has resurfaced. Before Janhvi Kapoor was a Gen-Z star making waves in Bollywood, she was just an adorable little girl in pigtails, unknowingly sharing a viral moment with none other than Shah Rukh Khan. Now, 22 years later, that moment is resurfacing. A fan-favourite clip from an old 2003 award function is doing the rounds on social media again, and it's pure gold. In the video, a young Janhvi Kapoor, dressed in a cute little outfit, walks on stage with her father, producer Boney Kapoor, and actress Preity Zinta to present the Best Actor award. With her tiny voice, she greets the audience with a polite 'Good evening". Then came the big moment: Shah Rukh Khan was announced as the winner for his iconic role in Devdas. With her hair neatly braided, little Janhvi Kapoor clutched her father Boney Kapoor's hand as they walked up to the stage. Once there, Boney gently encouraged her to greet the audience with a sweet 'good evening." Then, lifting her into his arms, he let her join in the big moment and together with Preity Zinta, the trio cheerfully announced, 'Shah Rukh Khan!" as the Best Actor winner. As soon as Shah Rukh Khan stepped onto the stage, he greeted little Janhvi Kapoor with a warm peck on the cheek before accepting his award. Unbothered by the flashing cameras, Janhvi adorably glanced around the stage while her father, Boney Kapoor, handed over the trophy. The moment turned picture-perfect as SRK, Janhvi, Boney, and Preity Zinta posed together, capturing a frame full of smiles. Take a look here: Shah Rukh then took a moment to reflect on the honor of stepping into the legendary shoes of Dilip Kumar, who first portrayed Devdas in the 1955 classic. His version of the tragic hero in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas released in 2002. Fast forward to today: SRK is prepping for his next mega film King, where he shares the screen with his daughter Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone. Meanwhile, Janhvi Kapoor is all grown up and blazing her own trail in the industry. She'll soon be seen in Param Sundari opposite Sidharth Malhotra and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari with Varun Dhawan. She's also rumoured to be part of Atlee and Allu Arjun's big upcoming film.

A Royal 'Peace Summit': Prince Harry, Meghan Seek Reconciliation With King Charles
Last Updated: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aim to mend ties with King Charles III amid his health issues. A discreet London meeting sparked talk of a royal "peace summit." Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly seeking to mend their fractured relationship with King Charles III as concerns grow over the monarch's health. Pagesix reported, citing sources in the know, that senior staff members representing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted in London last week holding a discreet meeting with King Charles' top communications aide, prompting speculation of a possible royal 'peace summit." The meeting, held at the private Royal Over-Seas League club, included Meredith Maines, the Sussexes' chief communications officer and Liam Maguire, their UK press lead. On the royal side was Tobyn Andreae, the King's communications secretary. Hugo Vickers, royal biographer and friend of the family, said, 'They may well have just been discussing routine things, which is more than likely. But at some point, you have got to reconcile." 'The Ball Is In Prince Harry's Court' The urgency behind Prince Harry's effort reportedly stems from King Charles' ongoing cancer battle. While palace sources say the 76-year-old monarch is receiving the best possible treatment, he is not yet cured. Hugo Vickers said that the weight of time and distance is falling heavily on Prince Harry, telling the outlet, 'Harry would be riddled with guilt if he never saw his dad again. The ball is in Harry's court. He is the one who has to apologize and beg for forgiveness- not the other way around." The last time Prince Harry saw his father was in February 2024, shortly after King Charles publicly confirmed his cancer diagnosis. The meeting lasted just 30 minutes. Hugo Vickers said, 'I don't think we'll see Harry returning to royal duties but on a personal level, it would be good if he's able to get on terms with his father." A Balmoral Invitation For Prince Harry-Meghan? Royal insiders speculate that King Charles may extend a private invitation to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their children- Prince Archie, 6 and Princess Lilibet, 4- to join him at Balmoral, the King's Scottish estate, where he traditionally spends August. 'It's his house- he can do whatever he likes," Hugo Vickers said, adding, 'But there's quite a lot of ground to be made up." Despite the Sussexes' apparent outreach, relations between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, remain ice-cold. The two have reportedly not spoken in years and sources close to Prince William say he has no intention of reconciling. However, Hugo Vickers suggested that Princess Eugenie, daughter of Prince Andrew and a close friend of Prince Harry's, could be key to bridging the family divide. 'Eugenie seems to be the one in touch with Harry and could broker the deal- especially where the children are concerned. They are going to grow up and work out that their first cousin, Prince George, is going to be the King of England," Hugo Vickers said. view comments First Published: July 15, 2025, 19:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
