According to another report by Geo TV News, Kate finds the situation 'unfair,' especially for the younger generation. In spite of the differences between the adults, she reportedly believes children should not bear the burden of family tensions. This separation has been a source of sadness for Kate, who had hoped her children would grow up with a close-knit extended family.
Both reports stated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's strained relationship with the monarchy lies at the heart of the personal and public challenges the royals are facing. The couple's children, Archie and Lilibet, have had limited interaction with the wider royal family, including their grandfather, King Charles III.

Prada, Crocs, now Birkenstock: Why these shoemakers are in the news
Three global footwear giants - Prada, Crocs, and Birkenstock - have found themselves making headlines in India, though not for the reasons they might have intended. From legal crackdowns on counterfeits to cultural backlash over design appropriation, these brands have found themselves at the centre of courtrooms, cultural conversations, and CRACKS DOWN ON COUNTERFEITSGerman footwear brand Birkenstock has launched a major legal offensive in India to tackle the sale and manufacture of counterfeit products. According to a report in Reuters, court-appointed lawyers recently inspected several small-scale factories in and around Agra and New Delhi, seizing products allegedly mimicking the brand's popular raids stem from a lawsuit Birkenstock filed in May at the Delhi High Court, naming four footwear traders, four factories, and two unnamed individuals. The company claimed that fake versions of its products were being produced and distributed both locally and abroad. On May 26, Justice Saurabh Banerjee issued a confidential order - made public only last week - appointing 10 local lawyers as commissioners to visit the suspected sites. The judge allowed the seizure of suspected counterfeit goods and noted that the samples shown in court appeared to be "cheap knock-offs" that could easily mislead customers."There is all likelihood of the public getting deceived... The differences, hardly if any, are not something which can be discernable to the naked eyes," the order once popular among hippies and medical professionals, has surged back into pop culture - especially after Margot Robbie wore a pair of pink Birkenstocks in the final scene of the 2023 blockbuster Barbie. In India, the brand's women's footwear is priced between $46 (Rs 3950) and $233 (Rs 20,010), making it a premium choice in a mostly non-luxury market. (Photo credit: Birkenstock Attitudes) The case is scheduled for its next hearing on October 6. Reuters reported that Birkenstock and its legal team declined to comment, citing the ongoing REVIVES 9-YEAR-OLD LEGAL BATTLEMeanwhile, Crocs Inc. is making a return to the courtroom as well. On July 2, a court revived a nine-year-old lawsuit that the US-based company filed against several Indian shoemakers - including Bata India, Relaxo, and Liberty - over alleged design accused these companies of copying the distinctive shape of its rubber clogs, which have developed a cult following globally since the brand's launch in 2002. While the suit was dismissed in 2019 on technical grounds, a recent appeal saw the Delhi High Court ruling that "the dismissal... cannot sustain in law", allowing Crocs to proceed with its challenge. Crocs accused Indian shoemakers, including Bata India, Relaxo, and Liberty, of copying the distinctive shape of its rubber clogs. (PEXELS) Crocs had originally asked the court to stop its rivals from manufacturing and selling what it called "obvious imitations" of its design. Liberty, one of the defendants, has argued that Crocs itself is not the originator of the clog style, claiming the design existed long revival of the case highlights the increasingly contested nature of intellectual property in India's $33.86 billion (Rs. 2.83 lakh crore) footwear market, where 97% of sales come from the non-luxury CONTROVERSYWhile Birkenstock and Crocs are navigating courts, Italian luxury house Prada is battling criticism on cultural brand triggered a storm last week after showcasing open-toe leather sandals at its Milan fashion show that bore a striking resemblance to Kolhapuri chappals - traditional Indian footwear with centuries-old heritage. Critics on social media and lawmakers accused Prada of failing to acknowledge the Indian origins of the design. Prada triggered a storm after showcasing open-toe leather sandals at its Milan fashion show that bore a striking resemblance to Kolhapuri chappals. (Reuters) In response, Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada's head of corporate social responsibility, sent a letter to the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, acknowledging that the sandals were indeed inspired by "traditional Indian handcrafted footwear." He added that the design is still in early stages and that Prada is open to future engagement with Indian company spokesperson reiterated the brand's commitment to "craftsmanship, heritage and design traditions."While Prada's men's leather sandals are priced upwards of $844 (Rs 72,485), Kolhapuris typically sell for around $12 (Rs 1,030) in Indian markets - underscoring the vast gap between global luxury and local artisan acknowledgement has drawn mixed reactions. Sambhaji Chhatrapati, a descendant of the Kolhapur royal family, said artisans deserved credit for "the history and heritage of 150 years." Others, like Kolhapur-based businessman Dileep More, viewed it as a positive moment of global recognition: "They are happy that someone is recognising their work."- EndsTrending Reel
