The palace's huge Harry and Charles plan could change history
Birmingham is hardly on the must see list for tourists to the UK given its lack of palaces, minsters, abbeys and any major modern art galleries where Damien Hirst once pickled a shark. Luckily the city could be in for billions of dollars of free publicity thanks to the fact it could host the greatest reunion since Agnetha started talking to Björn again. Harry is coming. In 2027, Birmingham will host the next Invictus Games and Buckingham Palace is reportedly very quietly nosing around the idea of using the event as a stepping stone to sort out the 21st century's biggest family feud, that of Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex and anyone who owns a crown or has the word 'The' in the name section of their passport. For the very first time in yonks, the noises coming out of the Palace are vaguely, waftily conciliatory, based on a major report from Camilla Tominey in The Telegraph, who also broke the story that Harry was dating Suits star Meghan Markle in 2016. (Really want to feel the cold passage of time? Barack Obama was president when that exclusive came out.) According to Tominey, behind Palace gates there have been 'exploratory … discussions about if or when father and son could ever be reunited' with a handy dandy opportunity presenting itself in two years time. In July 2027 the Invictus Games will return to Britain for the first time since its 2014 launch, thus putting Harry back on British terra firma and within easy choppering (or training) distance of a King willing to wave something like an olive branch in the direction of his pouty son. For a father possibly looking to try and mend a fence here and there then, it's a natural opportunity. The more cynical amongst you might be wondering why Charles might be interested in making things up with the duke and you would be right to. After all, in the last 15 months Harry has been in London on four separate occasions and His Majesty has not made time to see him once. Instead, Charles' sudden openness to possibly make things up with Harry is reportedly motivated less out of, seemingly, tender paternal feeling and more out of cold-eyed pragmatism about the possible damage being done to King's reputation. The Telegraph reports that the Palace did 'discrete polling' after Harry's BBC interview last month during which he said he would 'love reconciliation'. According to the paper, inside Crown Inc, 'there is an awareness that the impasse cannot continue forever, not least if it starts to reflect badly on the King.' (Side note: Harry's 'loving' of a reconciliation is all well and good but not exactly a logical extension of him having, just since his father acceded to the throne, put out a six part TV series, a 400 page book and done hours of interviews rubbishing the family and institution over which the King presides.) What the Games represent is a natural opening for Charles to turn a possible lemon into lemonade. As head of the British armed services the King has no choice but to go. He can't not support the military and veteran communities with rousing gusto – however sitting back and letting the duke lap up the massive reputational boon that are the Games would have to be a tough thing to swallow given that Harry continues to turn up in front of cameras to say things like, 'I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me'. So if some sort of meeting of the King and duke could be staged, it would mean that the Palace could sell it as Charles being the bigger man and embracing forgiveness. It would also reframe an event that redounds to Harry's credit and heart, the highly successful Games, into an opportunity to make His Majesty look particularly good. The possible royal PR of a Birmingham rapprochement could be even greater still with The Telegraph raising the question of whether any tender family moments might also include Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Tominey writes that 'it is hoped' that 'a public reconciliation' would involve the young prince and princess, better known these days for starring in their mother's Instagram feed. The King has not seen his American grandchildren since 2022, having only met Lili once in her young life. Picture it: Some sweet shot of him with, by then, an eight-year-old Archie and a six-year-old Lili, a morse that would do him no end of favours. And thus we get to the really big question mark in of all of this – where would Meghan, The Duchess of Sussx fit into this misty-eyed family scene? She has proudly been to every one of the five Games that have taken place since she started dating 'Aitch', every time turning up to hug, wave and cheer her way into competitors and their families' hearts and selfie reels. But, you know. Britain. Aside from the late Queen's funeral, the last time that she attended any sort of formal event in the UK, a service at St Paul's Cathedral for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022, there were reportedly boos from the crowd. Polling hardly suggests that Meghan would face a particularly enthusiastic welcome. YouGov research done in May recorded the duchess' lowest popularity to date. 65 per cent of Bris have a negative opinion of the 43-year-old as opposed to 20 per cent with a positive one. Added to which, the duchess has shown zero interest in making nice with the UK, the royal family or anyone who thinks beer should be drunk room temperature, and according to your view, understandably so. I wonder, how might she feel about her kids possibly being used to gin up some nice rosy publicity for the King? Still, all of this is a good two years away and I doubt even your Higher Power of choice has any real idea of what might happen between now and then. And Harry might need all that time. It's been said that the UK and the US are 'two nations divided by one language' and just think of how much the duke has to teach his children about his homeland. About bangers and mash, jam roly-poly, Beefeaters, wellies and why it's best to never take a swig from Grandma Camilla's water bottle.

Laura Henshaw: Kic founder discusses misogyny, pregnancy
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. After years of uncertainty around her desire to have children, podcaster and Kic co-founder and CEO Laura Henshaw tells Stellar about the 'complete shock' of falling pregnant. Stellar: Laura, you have just announced you're expecting your first baby. Can you tell us about the moment you found out you were pregnant? Laura Henshaw: It was a very big shock. I'd been on a journey last year. I was feeling so overwhelmed by the thought of having children. I'd thought: By the time I'm 30, this light-bulb or switch will go off in my head and I'll feel maternal and know that I want kids. And between 30 and 32, I actually felt the opposite. The closer I got to the age I thought I should be having kids, the more I was questioning it. I used to think, what's wrong with me? I had all these fears that I was going to lose myself and my career, and that I'd really struggle. So I went on this journey [and released the podcast Do I Want Kids?] to work through it. And [my husband Dalton and I] came out the end of it, and decided that we did want to have children. But we weren't 100 per cent sure when. I was actually booked in for a laparoscopy [to investigate for endometriosis] in the middle of May. I was going to do the London Marathon, have the laparoscopy, and after that start thinking about kids. Kic co-founder Laura Henshaw has opened up about her 'shock' pregnancy in a new interview with Stellar. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar Listen to the full interview with Laura Henshaw on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About: Then, all of a sudden, I missed my period. We did a pregnancy test the next day. My husband was so funny. He was like, 'Laura, I think you're pregnant.' And I was like, 'We can't be.' We'd had sex once the month before – like, a morning quickie. I thought, there's no way… [Then] we did the test… and we are pregnant. I'd seen so many videos on Instagram where people have found out they're pregnant. They're crying, their partner's crying. And it wasn't that I wasn't grateful or happy. I was in complete shock. I actually didn't get emotional at all until I told Steph [Claire Smith, Henshaw's business partner and co-founder of their health and wellness company Kic] about five days later. Her reaction was so beautiful. She was sobbing, and then it kind of hit me. I had a fear that I didn't know how I would feel. But I do feel really happy. 'It's a question we shouldn't ask women!' Laura Henshaw on comments made to her before her pregnancy was revealed publicly. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar Stellar: As part of the parasocial relationship you have with your audience, you've had to deal with people repeatedly asking, 'Oh, are you pregnant?' Stellar has had a policy for six years now not to ask high-profile celebrities – male or female – whether they want to have kids. But it's a question that gets asked of women much more often than it's asked of men. Laura Henshaw: In terms of the unsolicited stuff that comes through, people had said to me, 'Are you pregnant?' And that was actually to do with the way my body looked. I got a few messages saying, 'Oh, you've got a little pot belly and it just made me think, like, are you pregnant?' or, 'I probably shouldn't think this, but I wanted to send the message through...' I think if you're ever going to write to someone, 'I probably shouldn't think this, but I just wanted to send it through', it's probably a time not to send that through. It's a question we shouldn't ask women. We should never assume. You never know what anyone is going through behind the scenes. Listen to the full interview with Laura Henshaw on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About: Stellar: Your husband Dalton (né Graham, founder and CEO of Melbourne creative agency Bullfrog) took your surname when you got married in 2021. Have you had any discussions about what the family name will be for your baby? Laura Henshaw: When we got married, I said to him, 'I don't really want to change my name. I've built my brand around my name, it means a lot to me. However, I don't expect you to change your name.' We had a really open conversation about it. There was no expectation that because I was female, I would change my name and because he was the man, I would take his. He said, 'Well, it makes sense for you to keep your name. And I want to have the same surname as our kids, so I'll change my name.' So that will mean our baby will have our shared surname: Henshaw. Laura Henshaw announced her pregnancy last week. Picture: Instagram Kic co-founders Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith. Picture: Supplied Stellar: Last month, Australian podcaster Chris Griffin made headlines with his views on gender roles in relationships, saying, 'I don't want my partner working unless she wants to work', adding he would prefer to come home to 'calm, harmony, peace and love that a man that's got a busy life, that's chasing his dreams, needs when he's trying to wind down'. You responded to his comments, with your remarks going viral. Did you ever hesitate about speaking up and taking on the manosphere? Laura Henshaw: I watched it and felt this combination of rage and also… what the heck is going on here? How is this content? In all the research I've done over the past few weeks, I've found that the 'manosphere' content is actually now mainstream. And that's really scary, but it hadn't hit my algorithm. The first thing you feel is defeat. We've come so far; we're not an equal society in any way from a gender perspective, but we're making progress. So when you see content like that – especially from a 23-year-old male that isn't in a relationship talking to another male of a similar age that also isn't in a relationship, hasn't experienced having children – I just felt defeated. There were no comments pushing back, [they were all], 'Wow, you're amazing.' I thought, this is insane. Picture: Ian Currie 'This limiting view of women is so dangerous.' Picture: Suppied Laura Henshaw (continued): As someone who grew up in a household where my parents separated when I was 12 – my mum wasn't working full-time, she didn't have super, and then had to go out and find a full-time job and be a single mum – I have experienced first-hand what happens when you have these traditional gender roles at home and you don't have conversations about finances. This [Griffin clip] was [filmed] in this beautifully lit studio, it had this violin music or piano behind it, and so it made it seem like it was motivational. Like: this is the life that you want to live, you need to follow this person. And I was like, you know what? That's it. I'm going to talk about this. This limiting view of women is so dangerous that I ended up doing a miniseries on it that we released last week called Am I Equal? It was really important for me to do because I think in a heterosexual relationship, if the wife does want to stay home, that's absolutely fine. But they need to have all of the information. They need to have conversations with their partner. They need to have financial control together. Not one person has financial control and then the other one is like, oh, it will be fine. Because you actually don't know if it's going to be fine. Stellar: The #TradWife and #stayathomegirlfriend TikTok trends made the notion of opting out of paid employment seem very appealing to young women. Have the young women in your audience been receptive to the cautionary messages in your commentary and this new miniseries? Laura Henshaw: TradWife content and stay-at-home girlfriends are trends I've struggled with so much. What's really scary with that content is it's so glamorised. It looks amazing. The thing with these content creators is, if you're creating content all day, you have a job, right? So they're showcasing that they don't work, but they really do. Because being a content creator is a job in itself. But you only see 1 per cent of someone's life on social media. This is why I wanted to call out [the Griffin clip], in terms of it being benevolent sexism. It's control disguised as care. They say they're doing it because it's loving, they want to look after you, they want you to 'be in your feminine' – whatever the heck that means – they want you to have freedom. There's no such thing as freedom if it's dictated how you need to be. That's not free.

‘Benevolent sexism': Laura Henshaw responds to misogyny debate and reveals the ‘quickie' that led to shock pregnancy
