Prince Harry Initiating King Charles Reunion To Avoid ‘Guilt,' ‘Royal Family Friend' Claims
Page Six exclusively learned about Prince Harry and King Charles' possible reunion after last week's secret aides' meeting. A royal family friend, Hugo Vickers, claimed that 'the ball is in Harry's court' in his bid to reconcile with his family. Vickers suggested that the Duke of Sussex will be 'riddled with guilt' if he never meets the king. So, the dad of two should apologize to his family and ask 'for forgiveness,' not vice versa.
Last week, staff members for the Sussexes and King Charles' top aide secretly met in London in an attempt at reconciliation. It reportedly took place at a private members' club called the Royal Over-Seas League. Vickers claimed that the meeting was likely to discuss 'routine things,' adding that a reconciliation remains imminent. Nevertheless, the family friend believes Harry won't return to royal duties and thinks mending fences would be a positive step.
Prince Harry and King Charles last met in early 2024 when he announced his cancer diagnosis amid the royal family feud. The Duke of Sussex has previously made his intentions for a reconciliation abundantly clear. Now, other sources believe that Harry, Meghan Markle, and their kids — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — might visit the king in Balmoral. It's the Scottish estate where he spends time every August.

Bespoke 2026 Commonwealth Games tartan unveiled with nod to Glasgow's industrial past
A bespoke tartan designed for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow has been unveiled. The tartan has been lodged with the Scottish Register of Tartans and is created by award-winning fashion designer Siobhan MacKenzie. It is the official tartan of the 2026 games and has a nod to Glasgow's industrial history with blue, pink and purple tones against a steel grey base. The grey base has a thread count of 74 to represent the nations and territories competing at the event. The newly designed tartan will be made in Scotland and its first appearance will be on the clothing of the new mascot, whose identity will be revealed later this month after it was confirmed Clyde the Thistle from 2014 would not be returning. Siobhan Mackenzie, famous for reinventing tartan classics into contemporary styles and whose designs have been worn by Justin Bieber and Alan Cumming, commented 'I feel honoured to be designing a tartan for such a momentous occasion in my home country. Read More No return for Clyde at Glasgow 2026 as new Commonwealth Games mascot to be revealed Sport is about self-belief, community and resilience - and Scotland needs all three Swinney speaks of 'huge benefits' from Commonwealth Games on milestone day 'When I graduated as a fashion design student in 2014, I took on a role as a tailoring technician for the technical officials of The Games. At that point, designing the official tartan for the Games seemed like a pipedream - so this is truly a full circle moment. 'I love weaving stories into tartan design and while many people might be expecting a blue or green base, I looked at Glasgow's rich history and felt inspired by the shipbuilding stories. This led to a steel grey base with the Glasgow 2026 colours woven through in my signature style. 'It's incredibly important to me that every thread of this project is made in Scotland and I'll be working with local textiles and manufacturers to bring this design to life, and I can't wait to see it across next year's Games.' Phil Batty OBE, Chief Executive of Glasgow 2026, added: 'Designing and creating tartan is a revered part of Scotland's heritage and we're honoured that Siobhan Mackenzie is weaving it into Glasgow 2026's story with a bespoke Games tartan, designed in Scotland. The tartan has been designed for next year's games (Image: Glasgow 2026) 'Siobhan is an expert in her field and has collaborated closely with us throughout the production process. This special tartan draws inspiration from Glasgow's Clyde-built history, and she has carefully selected the threads of wool to celebrate the Games with this one-off tartan. 'As Glasgow 2026 fast approaches with our one year to go milestone next week, this tartan is a sign of what's to come next summer and will be part of the fabric of Glasgow 2026 across the city.' Earlier this month, Team Scotland announced that Siobhan Mackenzie will also design a bespoke tartan for their athletes and team officials.

The Essential Jane Austen
The great British writer Jane Austen, whose 250th birthday is being celebrated this year, wrote only six complete novels and died without seeing her own extraordinary success. But few authors have had as felicitous, or as enduring, an afterlife as the inimitable Miss Austen. Her books, exquisite comedies of manners and morals set among the landed gentry in 18th- and 19th-century England, are snapshots of their time, but timeless in their appeal. Austen's literary preoccupations — romance, class, morality, money — might seem light, even frivolous. But they carry universal truths, and not just the ironic one in the bravura opening line of 'Pride and Prejudice' about single men, fortunes and wives. With high wit and delectable plotting, the books skewer self-regard, hypocrisy and snobbery; lay bare unpleasant truths about the precarious position of women in Regency England and the dark origins of rich families' fortunes; and exhibit a strikingly modern writing technique. Using free indirect style, also known as free indirect discourse, Austen allows her omniscient narrators to inhabit the thoughts of different characters in turn, in ways that reflect their idiosyncratic quirks of thinking and speaking — maintaining the detachment of the third person while reflecting the biases of someone speaking in the first person. While Austen wasn't the first to employ what is now a thoroughly familiar approach, she refined and popularized it. Austen's life itself was perhaps most remarkable for its unremarkability. (We know less than we should; many of her letters were destroyed after her death — some by her sister, Cassandra, and others, years later, by her niece Fanny.) But we know that she was born in Steventon, Hampshire, in 1775, the seventh of eight children, to the Rev. George and Cassandra Austen, and that she was educated mostly at home, her lessons supplemented by her father's unusually extensive library. After uprooting the family to Bath — a place Jane hated — her father died in 1805, leaving Jane, her mother and her sister financially dependent on their male relatives. In 1809, the three settled in a modest cottage in Chawton, Hampshire, where Jane wrote on a small writing table in the dining room (you can see it there still; the house is now a museum). Her first four books — 'Sense and Sensibility' (1811), 'Pride and Prejudice' (1813), 'Mansfield Park' (1814) and 'Emma' (1815) — were published in quick succession toward the end of her life, and without her name on them. (The author was identified only as 'A Lady.') She died in 1817, at the age of 41; her final two novels, 'Persuasion' and 'Northanger Abbey,' were published posthumously. She also left behind 'Lady Susan,' an epistolary novella, and two unfinished novels, 'Sanditon' and 'The Watsons.' Every reader brings her own sensibility to Austen's novels. You can read them for their intricately arranged marriage plots, for their sly humor, for what they say about women and the financial arrangements that underpinned their search for husbands, for their vivid representation of a particular stratum of English life at a particular time. To my mind, there's no one like her for using comic observation to alleviate the sting or tiresomeness of a vexing situation. It helps to imagine: How would Jane have described this?

‘Unicorns' Review: Where Glitter Meets Grit
When Luke (Ben Hardy), a single dad in 'Unicorns,' meets Aysha (Jason Patel), a drag queen, Luke thinks Aysha is a cisgender woman. After they kiss, there's a palpable fear for Aysha's safety when Luke recoils at the sight of her Adam's apple. 'Unicorns,' directed by Sally El Hosaini and James Krishna Floyd, follows in the cinematic tradition of straight men bonding with L.G.B.T.Q. characters — this time arriving at a moment when drag performers face renewed attacks. Their unlikely encounter begins at a nightclub in East London, when Luke, a white working-class guy, accidentally stumbles into the underground 'gaysian' scene on his way to the bathroom. His eyes are fixed on Aysha, the night's star performer. But why would Aysha — who later says that she receives death threats for doing drag — seek him out not once, but twice? First, by running in front of his car after his agitated reaction to their kiss, and then by showing up at his car repair shop in Essex. None of this clicks with who we discover Aysha to be: guarded by necessity. Whether the later conflict involving queer infighting comes off as a thoughtless subversion of expectations depends on if you identify more with Luke or Aysha. More effective are the subtleties within their blossoming romance, like during a karaoke duet sequence that shows Luke softening to Aysha's charms. Hardy peels back the layers to reveal Luke's sexual awakening so viscerally that it's easier to overlook the film's narrative shortcuts. UnicornsNot rated. Running time: 1 hour 59 minutes. In theaters.
