But some royal experts believe it could be influenced by Meghan's 'planning'

They spoke about potential ways to end their family conflict, though a proposal for Harry to make a royal return was not on the agenda.
California-based Harry is next due to visit the UK in September for the annual WellChild events.
It opens up the prospect of meeting his father for the first time in 18 months.
The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson spoke to two experts on our Royal Exclusive show to discuss the latest developments.

Sarah Hewson and Valentine Low shared their thoughts on the size of the task ahead - with Harry feuding with his family for years now.
The experts also pondered how Meghan's influence could affect the situation and any prospect of reconciliation.
Royal writer Low claimed that any "peace talks" could only benefit Meghan.
The former correspondent for The Times said: "There's also the interesting question, perhaps quite cynically, if they reconcile and the relationship with the royal family becomes one of warmth.
"I think it will only do Meghan's reputation something good and help her expand brand Meghan."
Hewson agreed and claimed it could be another one of Meghan's "schemes".
The royal correspondent added: "Meghan is someone with a game plan.

"Nothing happens by accident and I think Harry relies on Meghan for a lot of guidance through life.
"Meghan's got her own plans and business. What is Harry's?"
"He does look lost and isolated by himself in Montecito. His father's health is certainly a big wake up call.
The royal correspondent added: "I think for these talks to happen, Harry will need to speak to his father one-on-one.
"This will be really important as there is a big trust issue."
In September the King should still be on holiday at his Balmoral retreat, ahead of hosting US President Donald Trump in the middle of the month.
On the weekend, Charles, 76 - whose cancer treatment continues - was pictured leaving a church service in the West Country.
In May Harry appeared to have torpedoed reconciliation efforts during a catastrophic and ill- advised interview with the BBC in which he moaned 'the King won't speak to me'.
But photos published at the weekend showed the King and Queen's director of communications Tobyn Andreae with Meredith Maines, chief communications officer for Harry's charity Archewell, and its UK and Europe communications manager Liam Maguire.
They met on the balcony of the members-only Royal Over-Seas League club a short walk from Buckingham Palace before continuing inside.
'Harry's blessing'
It is understood the face-to-face meeting was held to discuss avoiding media clashes and conflicts around calendar dates.
Discussions were not held about Prince Harry returning to a more formal royal role.
A source claimed: 'The meeting was with Harry's blessing.'
Buckingham Palace had also supported the proposals to 'open a channel of communication' — having agreed to them within the past two weeks, it has been claimed.
But adding intrigue to the developments, Prince William's team were not involved in the London summit.
There was no contact between Harry's team and one working for William and Kate — or any invitation for face-to-face meetings.
In September Kate and William will be returning from their summer break with a string of major engagements.
There have also been claims Harry will invite members of his estranged family to the Invictus Games when it is held in Birmingham in two years' time.
Just two months ago Harry hit out at his father in a BBC interview.
It came barely hours after he lost a High Court case asking for taxpayer-funded gun cops despite not being a working royal.

‘Excited' Eamonn Holmes whisks lover away on luxury break to Greece amid ‘strained relationship with two of his sons'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has whisked his lover away on a sunshine break with her family to Greece. It comes amid claims his relationship with two of his own sons has become strained. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Eamonn Holmes and new partner Katie Alexander, 43, have jetted out to Greece on holiday Credit: 5 The couple have flown out for a luxury holiday along with Katie's three grown-up children Credit: Eamonn, 65, was seen checking in at Heathrow on Friday with marriage counsellor Katie Alexander, 43. He forked out for the luxury trip to Greece — the setting for Homer's epic adventure Odyssey — also taking Katie's three grown-up children from her previous marriage. Yesterday, it was reported Eamonn has had a falling out with Niall, 32, the youngest of his three children with first wife Gabrielle. It was claimed that Niall was unhappy about his father's behaviour and the circumstances of his dad's marriage split from TV presenter second wife Ruth Langsford. Jack, 23, his son with Ruth, is also understood to be upset about their marriage breakdown and has sided with his mother. A source said: 'Things remain strained between him and his father.' But there was no sign of worry as the GB News frontman, who suffers from spine problems, travelled through the airport in a wheelchair, looking admiringly at Katie. Sources have revealed to The Sun on Sunday Katie was disappointed that Eamonn pulled out of buying a £550,000 semi-detached house in her native West Yorkshire, where they could stay close to her family home. She had told friends she was planning to move in some personal belongings to the new home as they prepared for a future together. A source told The Sun on Sunday: 'It was their first rocky patch but there's nothing a holiday can't fix.' Fresh twist in Eamonn Holmes & Ruth Langsford's divorce as celeb pair battle over £3.6m home The relationship wobble came after Katie avoided the Television and Radio Industries Club awards last month, when Eamonn picked up a gong. She said she stayed away to protect her mental health. Eamonn is still waiting to finalise his divorce from Loose Women host Ruth, 65. He has been forking out about £6,000 a month renting a bachelor pad in Surrey after moving out of the marital home. 5 Holmes, 65, split last year from TV presenter wife Ruth Langsford Credit: 5 Eamonn and marriage counsellor Katie's relationship became public last year Credit:

Justin Bieber's ex manager Scooter Braun takes brutal jab at former friend Kanye West
Justin Bieber 's ex manager Scooter Braun took a jab at his former friend Kanye West in a new interview. Braun, 44, shared where he stands with the controversial rapper, 48, following his numerous antisemitic statements and a song praising Adolf Hitler. 'I don't know him anymore,' the Jewish music executive said while appearing on an episode of the Question Everything podcast on Thursday. Speaking of Kanye's antisemitic social media posts, Braun — whose grandparents are Holocaust survivors — said: 'I think the person that I knew wasn't someone who says those things.' 'Sometimes the hardest thing to do with someone you care about is mourn them while they're still here,' Braun, who managed Kanye for 'two to three years', went on. 'The person that I knew is not the person that I'm seeing, so I don't have a relationship anymore.' He added, 'I'd rather stand proudly in who I am and who my people are, and be gracious and kind to all people, than be a part of that.' When asked if Kim Kardashian's ex-husband could potentially be redeemed, the music mogul — who officially parted ways with Bieber in 2023 — reiterated that he no longer knows him. He added, 'I have three beautiful kids that need a dad to focus on them and make sure they're prepared and strong in this world. That's going to be my focus.' It comes after West released a song praising Hitler. The track, titled Heil Hitler, was dropped by the singer on May 8 and was deemed to be 'promoting Nazism'. His chosen day to release the song was also of significance because it fell on VE Day - the 80-year anniversary of when fighting against Nazi Germany in Europe came to an end. He claimed that be became a Nazi because of his custody battle with ex Kim over their four children, singing: 'With all of my money and fame I still don't get to see my children / N*****s see my Twitter but they don't see how I be feeling / So I became a Nazi, yeah b***h, I'm the villain.' The line, 'N****r, heil Hitler' is repeated 15 times in the song. Kanye has remained in the crosshairs of controversy for much of the year amid a torrent of posts propagating antisemitism. On February 11, the shop on Kanye's Yeezy Website - which he advertised with an expensive ad during the Super Bowl - was taken offline by Shopify after he was selling a white shirt with a black swastika in the center. However, the rapper seemingly did a 180 following substantial backlash and in May he renounced antisemitism via X, writing 'I am done with antisemitism' before adding 'I love all people.' It comes after Scooter was fiercely slammed by Taylor Swift fans after he seemed to claim elsewhere in the interview that his drama with the singer led to the 'biggest moment of her career.' The music mogul reflected on his purchase and ultimate sale of the Cruel Summer songstress' masters. Scooter famously bought the rights to Taylor's old songs when he acquired her former record label in 2019 for $300 million. At the time, the hitmaker, 35, said she was blindsided by the news, and accused Scooter of 'incessant, manipulative bullying.' Taylor went on to re-recorded many of her old albums, and Scooter eventually sold the songs to an investment firm called Shamrock Holdings for $405 million. The singer then bought the masters back in May for a deal reportedly worth $360 million. 'She did incredibly well and basically had the biggest moment of her career, reinvigorating her career with each one,' he said of her re-recorded albums. 'It was brilliant on her part. But also, each time she released one, you saw a spike in the original catalog.' Despite Taylor's initial and very public upset over the news that he had bought her old songs, Scooter insisted that 'everyone won' in the end. 'Funny enough, everyone involved in the saga, from a business standpoint, won,' he continued. 'She's the biggest she's ever been, biggest artist of all time. We did really well with the asset. The people who bought the asset did really well because of those spikes.'

Khloe Kardashian slammed for 'duck lips' and filter 'lies' as fans erupt over new pics
Khloe Kardashian is facing fresh backlash after sharing new photos — just days after insisting she's no longer 'heavily' altering her images. The 41-year-old reality star, who found herself at the center of a Photoshop scandal less than three months ago, recently claimed on a podcast that she's scaled back on using filters, but fans weren't buying it. She also raised eyebrows last month when she got unusually candid on social media about her cosmetic procedures — but noticeably skipped over what many believe is the most obvious tweak: a butt lift. Still, Khloe didn't shy away from the scrutiny, firing back the next day with a detailed breakdown of everything she's had done — complete with shout-outs to her doctors and clinics. But the controversy reignited on Friday, when she posted a batch of scenic outdoor photos to Instagram. While the setting was picturesque, fans were more distracted by her noticeably fuller pout. Khloé Kardashian is under fire once again after posting new photos 'So cute… except those duck lips. Have you ever thought about toning them down a bit?' one critic commented. 'I was thinking the same thing. I thought that 'phase' was over. She's worked so hard on her physique, but those duck lips.' someone else chimed in. Another asked, 'So the whole not using filters anymore, it was just a lie? Lol.' 'Leave Chloe alone, can't you see she fkd her face?' a fan commented bluntly. One wrote, 'You are lying if you say you didn't edit your face in these photos!!!!' Still another added, 'You changed yourself so much I can't recognize you. You were beautiful before, not less than now. Just saying…' Over the years, Khloe has been slammed for using filters, editing applications like FaceApp and getting various plastic surgery. Back in 2021, she finally confessed to undergoing a nose job after years of speculation from fans about her ever-changing appearance. Though the backdrop was stunning, it was Khloé's noticeably plumper pout that stole the spotlight A year later, she even took to Instagram to thank her plastic surgeon, Dr. Kanodia, for her 'perfect nose.' Her plastic surgeon calls himself the 'king of closed scarless rhinoplasty' and is based in Beverly Hills, conveniently close for the Kardashian family who all live nearby. At the time, Khloe opened up about the procedure saying she 'always wanted' to get a nose job, and 'finally got the courage' to do so. Speaking to Robin Roberts during an ABC special on The Kardashians, she said: 'My whole life I would say - I've always wanted my nose done, forever.'
