How a Prince William Monarchy Will Be a 'Radical Departure' from King Charles's Time on the Throne
When Prince William becomes King in due course, he'll be keen to do it his own way—less ribbon-cutting and more action, sources say. William may also eschew his father King Charles' 'slimmed-down monarchy,' adding other family members into the mix that weren't working royals before. The Prince of Wales is reportedly looking to increase the royal role of cousins like Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall when he takes the the role of a monarch remains largely the same from person to person, each King or Queen puts their own spin on the role. When Prince William becomes King someday—whenever that day may be—he is reportedly planning this 'radical departure' from the way his father King Charles has done business heretofore. Speaking on the May 23 episode of True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat, royal editor for The Times Kate Mansey said that William has changes afoot when he takes on the top job, including veering away from 'shaking some hands' in favor of making a real 'difference' (via Marie Claire). 'I think what's really interesting about this is I wrote a profile about William recently, and someone very close to him was saying that this is a move away from these classic kinds of patronages where you would go and support an existing charity to actual projects,' Mansey said. William 'wants to come away and think, 'I've made a difference there, there's money that's gone into that community center or there's something that's happened because I went there,' rather than just showing up and shaking some hands,' she continued. Mansey added that this is 'quite a radical departure, really, from what the King does or what the late Queen [Elizabeth] did.' In Mansey's aforementioned piece for The Times, William Hague—who works with William at the Royal Foundation's United for Wildlife initiative—said, 'He's not one for long meetings or going around the same thing again. I've often heard him say, 'There's been too much talk about that. We need to see some action.'' In addition to steering away from 'ribbon-cutting representation' a la monarchs before him, William may also eschew Charles' famous 'slimmed-down monarchy' approach and expand his cousins' role in the royal family, namely Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall. 'Although Prince William still believes in a 'slimmed-down monarchy,' he is increasingly aware of the hard work of his extended family,' royal correspondent Richard Eden wrote, via Hello!. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said, via Hello!, that 'Clearly, William is doing something very right. His informal, approachable way of going about his work is resonating with the public.' 'Even the way he talks is different to previous generations,' Bond continued. 'He's well spoken, of course, but not overly posh. He dresses well, of course, but is quite often wearing jeans and trainers.' She added, 'He'll pose for selfies with the crowds—he'll even work the camera for them if they get flustered.' Bond called out praise William's mother, Princess Diana, once gave him and his natural charm, remembering that the late Princess of Wales once said, 'William's alright. The country is very lucky to have William.' 'I think she was bang on,' Bond said. Read the original article on InStyle

Prince William Reportedly Has a 'Radical' Change Planned After Hiring Divorce Lawyers Used by Princess Diana
Prince William is reportedly planning for a 'radical' new era just a few months after hiring Princess Diana's divorce lawyers in a headline-making move. Kate Mansey, royal editor for the Times, revealed during a May 23 episode of True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat that a palace insider claims William is working towards some major changes that could change the monarchy as we know it. According to Mansey, William wants plans for the future of the Royal Family will be 'quite a radical departure, really, from what The King does, or what the late Queen did.' More from SheKnows 8 Royals Who Were Accused of Having Affairs — And Some Even Admitted It While discussing some of William's recent royal appearances, Mansey said, 'I think what's really interesting about this is, I wrote a profile about William recently, and someone very close to him was saying that this is a move away from these classic kinds of patronages, where you would go and support an existing charity, to actual projects.' William is beginning to make moves to prepare for his time as King and, according to Mansey, 'wants to come away and think, 'I've made a difference there, there's money that's gone into that community centre or there's something that's happened because I went there,' rather than just showing up and shaking some hands.' So, what does this have to do with William hiring the legal team Princess Diana worked with in her divorce from King Charles? The move is reportedly one of William's many efforts to separate himself from his father. In April, William dropped King Charles' longtime legal team, Harbottle & Lewis, and its partner, Gerrard Tyrrell, with whom he had worked since becoming an adult. He is now represented by Mishcon de Reya, the legal firm his mother used in her 1996 divorce from his father. William's alleged new vision has been much-talked-about in recent months. In April, William Hague, who works with the Prince of Wales at the Royal Foundation's United for Wildlife initiative, told Mansey for the Times, '[William's] not one for long meetings or going around the same thing again.

Meghan Markle's emotional realisation after 'eviction' that left Harry in tears
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were given Frogmore Cottage to live in by the late Queen in 2019, but their time in the property was short-lived as they soon after decided to quit life in the UK It is almost two years ago that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were forced to pack up their personal belongings and hand back the keys to their UK home, Frogmore Cottage. The quaint abode was the Sussexes' first royal residence, bestowed upon them by the late Queen Elizabeth in 2019. The couple splashed out on a major refurbishment of the five-bedroom property, initially dipping into public funds before fully reimbursing the cost. Their stay at Frogmore Cottage, however, was fleeting; by the end of 2019, they had declared their intention to step back from royal duties and by 2020, they had decamped to Montecito, California. Since relocating to the US, the Sussexes have openly criticised the Royal Family in various American media interviews, stirring considerable tension that shows no sign of abating. It led to the couple being asked to hand back the keys to Frogmore Cootage with Harry claiming in his memoir Spare that he and Meghan were "evicted" from the property following their royal departure, prompted by a request from King Charles. In August 2022, Meghan recounted the experience of packing away her belongings from Frogmore Cottage. And in an interview with The Cut, she cryptically told how while packing she found a diary and expressed her surprise at her past entries. She said: "You go back and you open drawers and you 're like, Oh my gosh. This is what I was writing in my journal there?" Her trip down memory lane raised concerns over potential new disclosures. . It came after she also said in the same interview: "It's interesting, I've never had to sign anything that restricts me from talking. I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to." When asked by the interviewer why she hasn't indulged anyone about her true experience, Meghan replied that she was "still healing". "I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive. But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I've really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything." Speaking at the time on True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat, Sunday Times Royal Editor Roya Nikkhah said Meghan had issued "thinly veiled threats" and hinted that a memoir could be on the cards in the future. She explained: "The thinly veiled threats that came in [Meghan's interview with The Cut] ...I think [she] probably hopes it does [feel threatening] to the Royal Family... "[But] I think there's a lot of eye-rolling, going, 'We're used to this by now'... [But] that phrase, 'I have a lot to say until I don't' and, 'I've never signed anything that restricts me from talking'... there was a very strong inference there. "And, of course, the reminder that she keeps a journal, and [her] revelation that, 'when we came back to Windsor, to Frogmore Cottage for the Jubilee, I rediscovered my journal that I'd left there' - I was astonished to discover that she had left a highly private diary behind in Windsor, rather than taking it back. "She's mentioned a couple of times in the last year or two that she kept a journal, and I think there is a very strong inference that Meghan could write her own memoir." In a recent podcast interview, Meghan touched on releasing a potential memoir. During a chat on the Jamie Kern Lima Show, Jamie asked Meghan, who has already written a children's book called The Bench, if she would release another book. And she revealed: "Yes, maybe, for sure." However, she added: "And then, you know, I think people are often curious if I'm going to write a memoir, but I've got a lot more life to live before I'm there."

Lizzie Cundy joins glamorous Real Housewives Of London stars Juliet Mayhew and Amanda Cronin in Mayfair to film brand new series
Lizzie Cundy joined the glamorous new stars of Real Housewives Of London as they kickstarted filming in Mayfair on Thursday. The socialite and former WAG, 57, mingled with up-and-coming stars Juliet Mayhew and Amanda Cronin ahead of the new series. Lizzie looked incredibly glamorous in a black and grey mini dress, while Juliet stunned in a floral number. Meanwhile, Amanda put on a vibrant display in a bright green suit as she stepped out in the city. Lizzie was married to former Chelsea player Jason Cundy, 55, from 1994 to 2012. The ex couple, who share sons Josh, 29, and James, 25, split when he met Opera singer Hannah Pedley, who he would later to go on to marry. The Real Housewives franchise follows the drama-fuelled lives of rich women, capturing their social engagements and personal relationships. The series is coming to London and, after months of casting, promises a very British line-up indeed - with 'wives' including a Bake Off contestant and an ex-girlfriend of Andrew Ridgeley. Earlier this year producers were thrown into chaos after they were unable to secure big-name stars for the highly anticipated show, which has already won legions of British fans for its spin-offs based in Cheshire and Jersey. Juliet Angus, 49, perhaps the most famous future housewife, is a celebrity stylist who once supported the Duchess of Sussex. She is married to Gregor Angus, the co-founder and CEO of True Royalty TV. The company is behind royal documentaries such as Meghan For President? and Meghan And Harry: The First 100 Days. When the Duchess of Sussex first moved to the UK in 2018, Juliet – who is originally from Chicago – wrote on social media that 'no big designers wanted to loan' Meghan clothes, but suggested to the duchess: 'You won't have that problem any more'. She is a celebrity stylist and fashion influencer living in Battersea, south London, with their two children. She starred in an Amazon Prime series, Ladies Of London, in 2014, where she earned a reputation for being 'messy' and was known to stir trouble. It's the hit US reality show that follows the lives of wealthy housewives from Beverly Hills to Orange County and Salt Lake City (Juliet Angus pictured) Joining her is Ridgeley's ex-girlfriend, Amanda Cronin, 56, who met the Wham! guitarist at a friend's dinner party in 2022 and dated him for a year. She lives in a Belgravia mansion and has started a skincare business, Amanda Caroline. Its high-end products were developed during the pandemic and are now stocked globally in stores including Saks Fifth Avenue and Fenwick. She also starred in The Millionairess And Me, which documented her unlikely friendship with Martin Read, a once-homeless film-maker, during which she talked about her £10million jewellery collection and £200,000 chauffeur-driven Bentley. She boasts of having 'the longest legs in Belgravia' and broke up with Ridgeley after a year because claimed he was 'not relationship material'. She made a fortune when she divorced First Utility boss Mark Daeche in 2019, estimated to be worth some £40million. Alongside Amanda will be Nessie Welschinger, who starred in Bake Off: The Professionals and made a cake for the late Queen Elizabeth's 90th, which was unveiled at the Tower of London. The mother-of-three splits her time between London and the Cotswolds and appeared on the BBC cooking show in 2021. She has been spotted at the Grand Prix, Wimbledon and behind the scenes at Britain's Got Talent. And lesser-known housewife due to star in the show, commissioned by US streamer Hayu, is the Iranian-born Panthea Parker, 50, who is married to a city lawyer and master of the City of London Solicitors' Company. She is the 'devout housewife' of Ed Parker, a financial lawyer, with whom she has four children. She has dreams of becoming a politician of an 'unwoke' party, if only she had studied more at school. Indeed, despite not knowing the colour red represents the Labour Party, she boasted that she quizzed Keir Starmer at a drinks party in Parliament about 'putting school fees up 20 per cent'. She is close friends with former home secretary Suella Braverman. Meanwhile, Juliet 'Juicy' Mayhew is an award-winning interior designer and Karen Loderick-Peace, 46 – who appeared in both the Jersey and Cheshire series and flies around in private jets – has been described by her previous co-stars as 'next-level glam'. Juliet is also a philanthropist, actress, singer but, she says, 'most importantly a mother first'. At 12, she moved from Australia to a boarding school in England and now lives between London and an impressive ten-bedroom house in Cornwall with hedge fund manager husband, Anthony, and their two children Ophelia and Orlando. Her homes have featured on the BBC and in Vogue Livi. Meanwhile Karen 46, is married to the former West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace and can often be found at a Baggies game. The couple, who have three children, enjoy endless holidays at the £2,000-a-night Hotel Eden chain The series, which is spin-off of the Cheshire version, will follow a number of wealthy and glamorous women based in the capital. The initial US show was inspired by the huge popularity of dramas such as Desperate Housewives and Peyton Place. Olga Puzanova, SVP of Marketing at Hayu, shared her enthusiasm during the October announcement: 'Our fans have been vocal for London to be featured in the iconic The Real Housewives universe for a long time now and we are thrilled to confirm that the wait is finally over! 'We are delighted to give our fans exactly what they've been asking for, so get ready for some of London's most fabulous and fiery personalities to shake things up. 'The drama, the glamour, and the unforgettable moments are all coming exclusively to Hayu, and we can't wait for you to dive in.'
