Royal author cites the exact 3 words Prince Harry must say to earn King Charles III's forgiveness
Prince Harry has broken his silence following the Court of Appeal's decision to reject his plea to reinstate full-time police protection while in the UK.
Speaking in a new BBC interview, the Duke claimed he's been caught in an 'Establishment stitch-up' and expressed fear that he and his family could meet a fate similar to that of his mother, Princess Diana.
Notably, Princess Diana died in a 1997 Paris car crash while being chased by paparazzi.
While taking aim at his father, King Charles III, Harry revealed, 'He won't speak to me. I don't know how much longer' his father, who is battling cancer, will live.

'I would love reconciliation with my family,' Harry told the BBC. 'There is no point in continuing to fight anymore.'
However, Royal author and former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, while talking with BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, noted, 'I didn't hear two very crucial words in that entire sort of jeremiad about, you know, 'I'd like to reconcile, I'm sorry,''
'I mean, he never said, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry I caused my family all of this pain.' That is really what they're upset about, not the security.'
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, also believes Harry's difficulties today stem in part from his childhood. 'Like his mother and grandmother, Charles hated confrontation and did what he usually did when faced with a crisis beyond his immediate control: turned away from it,' Seward wrote in her recent book My Mother and I. 'This course of inaction would come to haunt Charles over the years.'
'His youngest son, Prince Harry, complained how difficult it was to get hold of 'Pa,' as he calls him, when his father didn't want to take his calls, which he frequently didn't,' she continued.

'They all contained various demands or requests, sometimes wrapped up in niceties, sometimes not.'
Notably, in his memoir Spare, Harry admitted that his memory issues stem from deep grief: 'I didn't want to fix it, because memory equalled grief.'

Prince Harry ‘Feels Alone' In California With Meghan Markle, Misses UK Friends: Report
Last Updated: The Duke of Sussex is feeling 'desperately lonely,' largely cut off from longtime friends and family, and struggling to find meaningful companionship in California. Prince Harry may be living in a $14 million Italian-style mansion in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children but behind the gates life is far from idyllic for the former royal family member, it was reported. NewsNation reported, citing unnamed sources, the Duke of Sussex is feeling 'desperately lonely," largely cut off from longtime friends and family, and struggling to find meaningful companionship in California. 'He doesn't really have any real friends in the area except for polo star Nacho Figueras, and Nacho travels constantly for matches," a friend told the outlet, adding, 'He spends a lot of his time chilling with his bodyguards." Prince Harry is said to remain close with a few of his inner circle from the UK, including Guy Pelly and Mark Dyer but the distance and time zone differences make regular contact difficult. The source said as per the outlet, 'There's no one else for him to hang out with besides Nacho, Meghan, and the children." The UK royal's social circle has narrowed since stepping back from official duties and relocating to the US in 2020, the report claimed, citing a friend who said, 'It's hard to forge deep friendships when you're older especially when you're wary of people leaking things to the press." Another source compared Prince Harry's exile-like existence to that of his great-great-uncle Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne for love and lived out his days abroad with Wallis Simpson. 'It's like history is repeating itself," the friend said. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have remained in the public eye through Netflix deals, books and public appearances. Although behind the scenes, Prince Harry is also said to have been frustrated over delays in securing British passports for his children, Archie and Lilibet. 'Meghan wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they've built together," a source told People Magazine. First Published: June 06, 2025, 21:08 IST

Prince Harry feels ‘very lonely' in California as he ‘doesn't really have any…'
Prince Harry's life is in a sprawling Italian-style mansion in Montecito with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two young children, Archie and Lilibet, is 'desperately lonely.' 'He doesn't really have any real friends in the area except for (fellow polo player) Nacho (Figueras), and Nacho travels constantly for polo matches,' one friend told NewsNation. 'He is still very close with the 'band of brothers' who were at his wedding — particularly Guy Pelley and Mark Dyer, but… they live in England and the time zones are so different it's very hard to talk regularly.' ALSO READ| Royal author cites the exact 3 words Prince Harry must say to earn King Charles III's forgiveness 'And again, there is no one for him to hang out with (in person) besides Nacho when he is in town or Meghan and the children. He spends a lot of his time chilling with his bodyguards,' he added. Like Harry, both Pelley and Dyer have American wives, but they spend most of their time in Texas and Virginia. 'Of course he does! He spent his entire life in England with family and friends (before Megxit). It's harder to forge deep friendships with people when you're older, especially if you're wary they may speak to the press.' Following his current estrangement from King Charles and Prince William, 'It's like history is repeating itself,' another source noted, alluding to Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne for love and lived in exile with Wallis Simpson, largely cut off from the royal family, surrounded instead by international socialites. Unlike Edward and Wallis, however, Harry and Meghan stayed relevant to the public. Also, Harry was reportedly so upset over alleged delays in securing British passports for his children that he consulted his uncle, Earl Spencer, about possibly adopting his mother's surname.

Dakota Johnson's sexy, sheer look dubbed the 2025 'revenge dress' by fans amid rumoured split with Chris Martin
After 8 years on being on-again, off-again, actor Dakota Johnson and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, seem to have finally called it quits for good. Things definitely appear to be more 'final' this time, seeing as the actor was spotted out and about in New York City on June 2, sans her engagement ring. Dakota, 35, and Chris, 48, were first linked together back in 2017 and have maintained a fairly low profile when it comes to their romance, save for a handful of headline-making public appearances — Chris' India trip for Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour earlier this year in January, for which she accompanied him makes for a good example as does the Malibu Yoga class they were spotted stepping out from on May 16. As far as the engagement goes, the two, as per a source-based report from PEOPLE, have been engaged for "years", though they only sparked rumours of such, in 2020. Across the occasional bouts of breakup rumours the pair have weathered, reps or sources have always come back with confirmation of there being no trouble in paradise. However, a recent exclusive source-based report from the publication asserts, that "it feels final this time". Another fool proof indicator? The sexy and all-sheer, black 'revenge dress' Dakota marked her presence for Late Night with Seth Meyers, in. In lieu of promoting her upcoming release, Materialists, also starring Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, Dakota turned out (and heads!) in a naked dress ensemble from Nensi Dojaka's Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Imagine delicate reams of pale blak tulle wrapped over and around to swish into a ruffled mermaid-esque hemline. Ah. Black pumps, golden hoops, cat eye sunnies and a YSL shoulder bag completed the look. Now just as a reminder, the revenge dress mints its name from Princess Diana's watershed moment, using fashion as her pièce de résistance at the June 1994 fundraising dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens. Her Christina Stambolian off-the-shoulders, black and silken evening gown, was and is read to be, a fashion-fueled response to Prince Charles publicly admitting to his love for Camilla whilst being married to the Princess of Wales. Speaking specifically of the dress, Princess Diana had owned it for 3 years before she finally decided to pull it out for the June dinner. The apprehension earlier had been about the dress being too risky. However, Anna Harvey, her former stylist, revealed that the only intention for the night was for Diana to look like "a million dollars", a brief she clearly nailed. Coming back to Dakota, is this her revenge dress, or simply a fire fit?
