Royal photographer admits to faking iconic shot

Jason Bell, the photographer responsible for the official family portraits from Prince George’s 2013 christening, has revealed the truth about the shots - and admitted to faking one significant detail. In the documentary Portrait of the Queen, Bell admitted to feeling pressure over getting the shot just right. It was, after all, the first time that four generations of direct heirs had been captured together in over a century - since Queen Victoria’s reign specifically. The iconic picture sees the Queen and her four heirs - Prince Charles (now King Charles), Prince William, and Prince George - gathered around the chair upon which the Queen sits in the Morning Room at Clarence House, with sunlight streaming in around them. The catch? The light wasn’t real. “A christening picture is a happy picture,” Bell explained, “and when I think about happy, I think about - sort of - summer, and sun, and light, and bright. “So I think in a way, that was my first creative decision going into it. I want[ed] it to feel like a beautiful, warm, summer-y afternoon. “Obviously, the problem with that was I was actually doing the shoot in October in London and, you know, I’m a longtime Londoner, and I know that you can’t rely on London weather. “So, what I did was I put big heavy lights around all of the windows and the window behind them outside in the street. And, you know, to get enough light coming through the windows to really feel like a sort of summer afternoon, you know, you need quite a lot of light.” <img src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/2023/03/Portrait_of_the_Queen_Sharmill.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /> As well as the big creative decisions necessary on the day, Bell had to plan well ahead, and explained how “it’s always important to research around the project and you know, see what people have done before – who goes where. Where does the Queen go? Where does Prince George go? “You’re thinking about the sort of lineage, if you like, and the structure of the picture wants to reflect [that].” Bell also admitted that he drew inspiration from a portrait of Queen Victoria and her heirs in 1894 - in that picture, Queen Victoria was holding her youngest direct heir, who would go on to become King Edward VIII. <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CisbmEIu2vP/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"> </div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"> <div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: 8px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: auto;"> <div style="width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;"> </div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CisbmEIu2vP/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by Jason Bell (@jasonbellphoto)</a> </div> </blockquote> And with the opportunity may have been daunting, and the stakes for his career high, Bell noted that one detail in particular stood out to him, confessing that he was “quite drawn” to it. “The personal element of it, you know, is the same as it is in any other family,” he said, “and that’s kind of interesting watching, you know, them be[ing] a family together if you like.” Images: @jasonbellphoto / Instagram, Portrait of the Queen / Sharmill

Mourners at Archie Roach’s funeral hit with hefty fines

Mourners who were hit with traffic fines during the funeral procession for Indigenous singer Archie Roach won’t see penalties dropped, Victoria Police has confirmed. Seven infringements were issued to people who were part of the funeral cortege and ran red lights during the procession from Melbourne to Gunditjmara country, where Roach was laid to rest in a private ceremony. The driver of the hearse carrying Roach’s body was among those fined. "Disobeying a red light signal is considered a serious traffic offence," a police spokeswoman said in a statement. "It poses a significant safety risk both to the driver and other road users. Seven infringements were issued for disobeying a traffic control signal in relation to this matter." After reviewing three of the fines, Victoria Police didn’t overturn them due to what they called the seriousness of the offence, per the <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-12-09/archie-roach-funeral-procession-fined-victoria-police/101753002" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC</a>. It’s understood that the fines were $462 each. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ArchieRoach?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ArchieRoach</a> Community members gathered in the streets of Melbourne this morning as Uncle Archie Roach took a final journey through Collingwood, Fitzroy and St Kilda as part of a walking service 🖤💛❤️ The cortege continues to Warrnambool ahead of the funeral tomorrow. <a href="https://t.co/iF7NoLrL5x">pic.twitter.com/iF7NoLrL5x</a> — Madre Swift Justice - Cave Dweller (@JayStill4) <a href="https://twitter.com/JayStill4/status/1561591323651899393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 22, 2022</a></blockquote> The Gunditjmara and Bundjalung musician was farewelled in August, two weeks after he died aged 66 from a long illness. His hearse was flanked by members of Indigenous motorcycle club the Southern Warriors, with members of the public lining the streets of Fitzroy and Collingwood to pay their respects.

Rare new image of Archie emerges

Three-year-old Archie has been seen in a photo with his mum Meghan Markle, making a rare appearance in the public eye after the photo was shared on social media. Archie and Meghan were joined by Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mum, on a video call with Full Circle Strategies CEO Jotaka Eaddy and political strategist Donna Brazile. The toddler was seen on camera sitting on Meghan’s lap, while his grandmother stood behind them. The image was shared by Duchess Harris, a professor in American studies and political science, and quickly spread online. While it is unclear what the meeting was about, the photo marks one of Archie’s few appearances since his birth in May 2019. <img src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/2022/12/archie-meghan-zoom.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /> Meghan Markle, Archie, and Doria Ragland appeared on a video call with Jotaka Eaddy and Donna Brazile, marking one of the few times Archie has been seen on camera. Image: Twitter The meeting and photo also come as Prince William and Kate Middleton prepare to head to the United States on Thursday, with an itinerary including attending the second Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston, Massachusetts. Coincidentally, Harry and Meghan will also be on the East Coast within days of the Prince and Princess of Wales, as they are due to attend a ceremony in New York to accept the Ripple of Hope award for their stance against “structural racism” in the royal family. The recognition of the Sussexes also comes amid more racial controversy for the royals.

Prince Harry shares rare update on Archie and Lilibet

Prince Harry has surprised the winners of the WellChild Awards with a spontaneous video call, in which he shared a rare update on his children. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were meant to attend the awards in person on September 8th but that afternoon the Queen's health dramatically declined, forcing Harry to make the dash to Balmoral Castle. But now, Harry has spoken to winners of the awards and their families from his home in Montecito about the challenges they have been facing. Harry spoke with Henry Waines, who spent the first 15 months of his life in hospital and has now won the Inspirational Child award in the four to seven category. The pair joked about their shared name in a sweet exchange. He said, "My name is Henry. Well everyone calls me Harry. I have no idea why." "You sound just like my son Archie really. The same little squeaky voice. I love it." The four-year-old then asked Prince Harry about his two children. "They're doing great – Archie is very, very busy and Lili is learning to use her voice, which is great." Speaking with 13-year-old Isabelle Delaney, the duke praised her assistance dog, a Labradoodle called Hope, for helping her get through her tough times. "We all need a dog that keeps us calm," Prince Harry said. "I've got three in this house now, so we basically have five children. I've got a black Labrador called Pula, a rescue beagle called Guy, and we got another rescue beagle called Mia." "And between the three of them, they charge around chasing squirrels and causing all sorts of problems to us every single day. "But they are also emotional support dogs, 100 per cent, when they're behaving." Throughout the video call some of the parents and children sent their condolences to Prince Harry following the death of his 96-year-old grandmother. Harry attempted sign language with 10-year-old Shakeerah Crowther, a survivor of a rare brain infection. She signed to Harry, "I'm sorry about your grandmother the Queen." Evelyn Rodger, a children's hospice nurse whose role was funded by the Princess Diana memorial fund, said the late monarch would be "proud". She told Harry, "I think your mum would be very proud of what that money has achieved. "And I also think as a mum she'd be very proud of you, Harry." Harry replied, "That's very sweet, thank you." The WellChild Awards were an important part of Harry and Meghan's life as working royals. They attended the awards in 2018 and 2019, which celebrates the inspirational qualities of the UK's seriously ill children and young people, along with those who go that extra mile to make a difference to their lives.

Archie and Lilibet snubbed from royal tradition

The children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will reportedly not be called “His Royal Highness” or “Her Royal Highness”. With King Charles III agreeing to bestow the titles of “Prince” and “Princess” on Archie, 3 and Lilibet, 1, he has refused to allow them to be known as HRH. The Duke and Duchess are allegedly furious over the snub, after they were stripped of “HRH” after moving to the US in 2020. So, why does the title matter? King George V declared in 1917 that both sons and daughters of the ruling monarch, as well as grandchildren from the sovereign’s male line, were entitled to be called HRH (His or Her Royal Highness). Queen Elizabeth II amended the rule in 2012, declaring all children of the Prince of Wales’ eldest son (Prince William) would be entitled to the HRH titles. The change never mentioned Charles’ younger children, leaving Harry in a grey area. The announcement was made before Kate Middleton and William had their first child, meaning their daughter would also be granted the title. An “HRH” title gives access to a salary as a working royal, and entitles one to official protection and security. It also means people are supposed to bow or curtsy when an HRH approaches. The title of HRH is currently held by King Charles III; Queen Consort Camilla; Princess Anne; Prince Edward; Sophie, Countess of Wessex; Prince William; Princess Kate; their three children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte; and Prince Andrew’s daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Harry and Meghan believe their children have a right to the title, but it is becoming more than likely they won’t receive it. Archie and Lilibet are currently called “Master” and “Miss,” and are expected to take the “Prince” and “Princess” titles without the HRH. Image: Getty

Meghan Markle confirms fire in Archie's nursery

Meghan Markle has revealed that her son narrowly escaped a fire that broke out in his nursery while on a tour of Southern Africa in 2019. The Duchess of Sussex shared the story on the first episode of her new podcast, Archetypes, which featured her "dear friend" and tennis champion Serena Williams. During the hour-long conversation, Markle discussed the devastating incident with her then four-month old son Archie while aboard on a royal engagement. This ill-fated tour to Southern Africa in October 2019 was the last official engagement for Harry and Meghan before they stepped back from being senior working royals. In the podcast, Meghan explained how their family had only been in the township of Nyanga for a few hours before the incident took place in Archie's nursery. She said, "I'm giving this speech to women and girls, and we finish the engagement, we get in the car and they say, 'There's been a fire at the residence. There's been a fire in the baby's room.' What?" She went on to explain how Archie's nanny Lauren had taken him downstairs briefly before he was put to bed for a nap, and the heater in the room caught fire. Luckily, no one was injured during the fire, but Meghan said both her and her husband were rattled by the experience and were rushed out to attend another engagement, rather than stay with their son. She said, "And we came back. And of course, as a mother, you go, 'Oh my God, what?' Everyone's in tears, everyone's shaken. And what do we have to do? Go out and do another official engagement?" "I said, 'This doesn't make any sense'. I was like, 'Can you just tell people what happened?' And so much, I think, optically, the focus ends up being on how it looks instead of how it feels." The first episode of Archetypes is available now on Spotify, and will feature a new guest each week, with next week's guest being music legend Mariah Carey. Image credits: Spotify

Archie Battersbee passes away in hospital

After being in a comatose state for four months, 12-year-old Archie Battersbee has died at a London hospital, despite his family's weeks-long legal battle to keep him alive. Archie’s mother, Hollie Dance, said he died on Saturday afternoon, two hours after his treatment stopped. “It's with my deepest sympathy and sadness to tell you all that Archie passed at 12:15pm today," Dance said. "Can I just say that I'm the proudest mum in the world, such a beautiful little boy, and he fought right until the very end, and I'm so proud to be his mum." After a series of legal bids to prevent doctors from withdrawing his life support treatment, the British High Court rejected the family’s request that Archie be moved to a hospice, arguing his condition was so unstable that moving him would hasten his death. "Their unconditional love and dedication to Archie is a golden thread that runs through this case,″ High Court judge Lucy Theiss wrote in her decision on Friday. "I hope now Archie can be afforded the opportunity for him to die in peaceful circumstances, with the family who meant so much to him as he clearly does to them." Archie’s parents then appealed to the Court of Appeal and European Court of Human Rights to challenge the decision, but both courts refused to take the case. The young boy was found unconscious at home with a ligature over his head on April 7, with his parents believing he was taking part in an online challenge that went wrong. Doctors concluded that Archie was brain-stem dead soon after the incident and sought to end the treatments keeping him alive, including artificial respiration, medication that regulated his bodily functions, and around-the-clock care from nurses. His parents argued that Archie had shown signs of life and disagreed with the doctors’ decision, sparking a legal battle across several UK courts. After Archie’s medication was stopped, Ella Carter, the fiancé of Archie’s eldest brother, Tom, said he was stable for about two hours. But, when his ventilator was turned off, Archie’s condition rapidly declined. "He went completely blue,'' she said. "There is absolutely nothing dignified about watching a family member or a child suffocate. "No family should ever have to go through what we've been through. It's barbaric." The Royal London Hospital, where Archie was treated, expressed its condolences and thanked the doctors and nurses who cared for the boy. "They provided high quality care with extraordinary compassion over several months in often trying and distressing circumstances,'' said Alistair Chesser, chief medical officer of Barts Health NHS Trust, which runs the hospital. "This tragic case not only affected the family and his carers but touched the hearts of many across the country.'' Following Archie’s passing, Ilora Finlay, a professor of palliative medicine and a member of the House of Lords, said she hopes the Conservative government will hold an independent inquiry into alternative ways of handling cases like Archie’s without going through the legal system. "The parents don't want to go to court. The doctors don't want to go to court. The managers don't want to go to court," Professor Finlay told Times Radio. "My worry is that these cases are going forward to court too quickly and too early, and that we need an alternative way of managing the communication between the doctors and the parents." Professor Finlay said parents being in shock makes it difficult for them to accept that their child has suffered a catastrophic brain injury, which requires patience from those caring for their children. "When there's brain injury, often their child looks intact, so their face looks as it always did,'' she said. "So understanding what has gone on inside the brain and the amount of injury is something that needs to be sensitively explained to parents, and that takes time." Image: Hollie Dance (Facebook)

Archie’s parents make legal bid to move him to hospice

The family of a 12-year-old boy who has been in a months-long coma have filed a legal action requesting permission to move their son into a hospice, after their legal fight to continue his life-support treatment was unsuccessful. After Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee’s son Archie was found unconscious at their home on April 7, the couple were ruled against in a series of UK court hearings to keep their son on life support, with judges backing doctors who said Archie was brain dead and that further treatment wasn’t in his best interests. The couple announced the decision to move Archie to a hospice on Wednesday, after the <a href="https://www.oversixty.co.nz/health/caring/our-country-have-failed-a-12-year-old-archie-s-parents-concede-defeat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">European Court of Human Rights rejected a request to intervene</a> in the case. "We've now got a fight to see whether we can get him out of here to have a dignified passing at a hospice. It's just unfair,” Dance said following the decision. His parents said the London hospital where Archie has been treated informed them that life support would be withdrawn at 11am on Thursday BST (8pm AEST or 6pm NZST) unless a legal challenge over the hospice move was submitted by 9am. “I would like him out of here as quick as possible, really, and in a peaceful hospice to say goodbye and spend time with his family, uninterrupted by the noise and chaos,” Dance told the BBC. However, Barts Health NHS Trust, which runs the Royal London Hospital, said a previous High Court ruling requires that Archie remain in hospital until his treatment ends, and that moving him would cause him to deteriorate much faster because his condition is so unstable. Alistair Chesser, the chief medical officer of the trust, said in a statement that they would work with Archie’s family to prepare to withdraw treatment, but that no changes will be made to his care until “outstanding legal issues are resolved”.

“Our country have failed a 12-year– old”: Archie’s parents concede defeat

After their <a href="https://o60.me/bvX9fj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fight to keep their 12-year-old son alive</a> failed in the British courts, UK couple Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee have lost their appeal to the European Court of Human Rights to prevent his life-support treatment from ending. After Archie Battersbee was found unconscious at home with a ligature over his head in early April, his parents have been fighting to prevent the Royal London Hospital from turning off his ventilator and stopping other interventions that are keeping him alive. Doctors believe Archie Battersbee is brain-stem dead and say it isn’t in his best interest to continue life-support treatment. Dance said the family’s lawyer submitted an application to the Strasbourg, the European human rights court based in France, hours before doctors planned to begin withdrawing Archie’s life-support on Wednesday. However, the court said it would not “interfere with the decisions of the national courts to allow the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from [Archie] to proceed”. Speaking to reporters outside the hospital, Dance appeared to concede that the fight to keep their son alive was over. "It's the end, it was the last thing, wasn't it, and again our country have failed a 12-year-old child,” Dance said of their latest legal defeat. Now, she wants to move Archie into a hospice to ensure he has a “dignified passing”. "We've now got a fight to see whether we can get him out of here to have a dignified passing at a hospice. It's just unfair,” she said. Earlier, she said the family “will not give up on Archie until the end”, and that they were considering offers from Japan and Italy to continue his treatment. "There's other countries that want to treat him and I think that he should be allowed to go," Dance said. Their case is the latest where the judgement of doctors has been pitted against the wishes of families, and is one of several that have been backed by religious pressure group, Christian Concern. Under UK law, courts can intervene when parents and doctors disagree on a child’s treatment, with the rights of the child taking priority over the parents’ right to decide. On Tuesday, the UK Supreme Court said Archie had “no prospect of any meaningful recovery”, and that he would still die from organ and heart failure in the next few weeks if treatment continued. The judges agreed with a lower court ruling that treatment “serves only to protract his death”. Alistair Chesser, the chief medical officer for Barts Health NHS Trust, which operates the hospital treating Archie, said his life-support treatment would continue for now. "As directed by the courts, we will work with the family to prepare for the withdrawal of treatment, but we will make no changes to Archie's care until the outstanding legal issues are resolved,” Chesser said.

"Evil white supremacists" target baby Archie

"Evil white supremacists" have targetted Prince Harry and Meghan’s son Archie saying he should be “put down”, a court has heard. Christopher Gibbons, 38, and Tyrone Patten-Walsh, 34, thought it was okay to voice their sickening thoughts on their radio show Black Wolf Radio. Known for encouraging acts of extreme right-wing terrorism, the pair despise mixed race relationships and have used the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as examples of their hate. Kingston Crown Court heard that Gibbons called three-year-old Archie an “abomination that should be put down”. The pair then said Prince Harry needs to be “prosecuted” and ”judicially killed for treason” simply for being married to Meghan. Prosecutor Anne Whyte QC told the court that Gibbons and Patten-Walsh “are dedicated and unapologetic white supremacists” who ”hold extreme right-wing views”. “They thought that if they used the format of a radio show, as good as in plain sight, they could pass off their venture as the legitimate exercise of their freedom of speech,” she said, <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18814646/harry-and-meghans-archie-targeted-white-supremacist-terror-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sun</a> reported. “In fact what they were doing was using language designed to encourage others to commit acts of extreme right-wing terrorism against the sections of society that these defendants hated.” Their talk show has been riddled with their white supremacy and hate toward other people. The court heard about the pair allegedly endorsing the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox in 2016. They also spoke highly of Australian terrorist Brent Tarrant’s rampage which saw 51 Muslims killed at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The 2017 Manchester Arena suicide bomb attack which saw 22 innocent people killed were called “sluts”, with Patten-Walksh allegedly saying their screams is what “pleases me”. “...because I hate those people. And it‘s a sign of masculine, even though it was done by a sand n*****, masculine terror against women.” The jury also heard they regularly make anti-Semitic remarks and describe black and Asian men as rapists.

New book names royal family member who asked about Archie’s skin colour

In his upcoming book Brothers And Wives: Inside The Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan, Christopher Andersen seemingly reveals the identity of the royal who asked about Archie’s skin colour, a claim that was originally made in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s astonishing interview with Oprah earlier this year. The book claims that following the announcement of Harry and Meghan’s engagement, on November 27, 2017, Prince Charles sat down to breakfast with Camilla and asked, “I wonder what the children will look like?”, to which Camilla responded, “absolutely gorgeous, I’m certain”. Charles then clarified what he meant by following up with, “I mean, what do you think their children’s complexion might be?” According to the book, Camilla was “somewhat taken aback” by the question. While the source for these claims is “well-placed”, Andersen stops short of claiming that Charles is the unnamed “senior royal” referred to in the Oprah interview. In their March interview with Oprah, Meghan said there were “concerns and conversations about how dark [Archie’s] skin might be when he was born… Those were conversations that family had with Harry”. Andersen presents the question as an example of Charles’ curious nature that was seized upon and distorted by “scheming courtiers” to make it look racist, pointing the finger at a group of palace advisers known as the “Men in Grey”. Andersen writes, “The question posed by Charles was being echoed in a less innocent way throughout the halls of Buckingham Palace.” The gossip allegedly focused on how the royals would “look to the rest of the world” once Meghan’s blood became part of the mix. Andersen also reveals Harry’s frustration with his relatives throughout the saga, with Charles telling him he was being “overly sensitive about the matter” and William describing Charles’ comment as “tactless” but “not a sign of racism within the family”. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Prince Charles told the New York Post, “This is fiction and not worth further comment,” while a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan did not respond to requests for comment.

Princess Eugenie's father-in-law dies before baby August's christening

Princess Eugenie's father-in-law George Brooksbank has died just days before his grandson August was christened. The 72-year-old battled Covid-19 last year and was in hospital for nine weeks, with some reports suggesting he never fully recovered. A source told the MailOnline, "George had been in hospital with Covid and had not been the same after that." "He had been unwell for some time. It’s been a difficult time for Jack losing his father before the Christening." After being diagnosed with Covid-19 in March 2020, George was put on a ventilator for five weeks as he fought to overcome the virus. When he was eventually discharged from hospital more than two months later, Princess Eugenie thanked the UK's NHS staff "saving my father-in-law's life". "George came back to us the other day so happy, and as the 'miracle man' as he called himself," she said. George went on to thank the medical personnel who helped him through his illness, and praised them for their efforts. "It was a real eye-opener for somebody who has not been in hospital before for any length of time. I certainly owe them my life," he said. George's exact cause of death is not yet known, but it is believed he passed away last week. Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank baptised their son August at the All Saints Chapel at Windsor in front of the Queen, members of the royal family and friends. August's cousin Lucas Tindall, the son of Zara and Mike Tindall, was also christened in the rare double service. Image credits: Getty Images

Queen attends christening of her great grandsons despite recent injury

Queen Elizabeth II has attended the joint christening of two of her great-grandchildren in Windsor despite recently <a rel="noopener" href="https://oversixty.com.au/health/caring/queen-elizabeth-ii-releases-message-after-back-sprain" target="_blank">spraining her back</a>. The Queen was photographed being driven to the All Saints Chapel near the Royal Lodge on Sunday afternoon, where the joint christening of Princess Eugenie’s son August and Zara Tindall’s son Lucas was taking place, in what is believed to be the first joint royal christening. Princess Eugenie and husband Jack welcomed their first child, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank in February, while Zara Tindall and husband Mike welcomed their third child, Lucas Philip, in late March. Both boys share the middle name Philip in honour of their great-grandfather Prince Philip, who died in April. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CLgrGXhlpuK/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CLgrGXhlpuK/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Princess Eugenie (@princesseugenie)</a> </div> </blockquote> August and Lucas are cousins, as are Eugenie and Zara, Eugenie being the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and Zara being the daughter of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips. The private service was attended by a small number of relatives, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke of York. The Queen wore a matching lime green hat and coat for one of her first outings since her recent injury. The Queen has been resting for roughly a month per doctors’ advice, and had to cancel her appearance at the COP26 Climate Conference as a result, instead <a rel="noopener" href="https://oversixty.com.au/travel/international-travel/my-dear-late-husband-queen-elizabeth-discusses-prince-philip-in-climate-speech" target="_blank">delivering her speech via video link</a>.

Meghan reveals rare snap of Archie

Image: The Ellen Show During Meghan Markle's highly publicised surprise interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the Duchess of Sussex treated the audience to a rare glimpse into her family life, showing photos of her and Prince Harry’s two-year-old son, Archie, feeding chickens at their Montecito estate in California. The couple have been very private about their children, having only ever shared photos of Archie from behind, while they’re yet to release a photo of Lilibet Diana who was born in June. After moving to the US last year, Meghan told Ellen she wanted to celebrate Halloween this year with her growing family of four, saying she dressed Archie up as a dinosaur and Lilibet as a skunk “like Flower from Bambi”. “We wanted to do something fun for the kids, and then the kids were just not into it at all,” Meghan said, before Ellen - who spent Halloween with the Sussexes - added that Archie wore the costume for “not even five minutes”. Meghan said witnessing her husband of three years be a father was “the most beautiful thing to watch”, adding Archie had relished in becoming a big brother despite the significant adjustment. “I think it’s just, everyone tells you — well, someone told H and I, ‘When you have one kid it’s a hobby, and two children is parenting,’ ” she said. “Suddenly we realised, ‘Oh, right.’ Everyone talks about what it’s like for the second child, but no one talks about the adjustment for the first child when the second one comes along. So I think they have this moment of, ‘Oh, this is fun. Oh, this how it is now.’ ” Having lived in the UK for most of his life, Meghan said Harry “loves” living in the US. “He loves it,” Meghan said. “We moved here during lockdown, exactly when things shut down, so we’ve just been able to spend a lot of time at home and creating our home, but I think it’s just the lifestyle and the weather is pretty great. But we’re just happy.” Elsewhere in the interview, Meghan revealed she and Harry attended a Halloween party in disguise before their relationship became public. The Duchess told Ellen they were in Toronto, where she was filming Suits, when they decided to go incognito for a night on the town with fellow royal Princess Eugenie and her now-husband, Jack Brooksbank. “Harry came to see me in Toronto and our friends and his cousin Eugenie and now her husband Jack – they came as well,” she said. “The four of us snuck out in Halloween costumes to just have one fun night on the town before it was out in the world that we were a couple." “It was a post-apocalypse theme so we had all of this very bizarre costuming on and we were able to just have one final fun night out." Meghan and Harry, 37, met on a blind date in July 2016, before their relationship began being speculated in September that year. It wasn’t until November, shortly after Halloween, that Harry confirmed their relationship when he issued a press release detailing his concerns about the press’ “abuse and harassment” toward his new partner.

Baby Archie’s favourite song revealed in rare moment

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/harry-and-meghan-reveal-archies-favourite-song/news-story/c04940a3f2b3bc0054b0b7f04e2d3858" target="_blank">have shared</a> a rare snippet of information about their toddler Archie during a sweet moment over the weekend. The pair visited the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, a US air force base in New Jersey, as part of the commemorations for Veteran’s Day. Since the Taliban took over Kabul, the air base has become a refuge for more than 10,000 Afghan people evacuated from Afghanistan by the US. During their visit, Harry and Meghan went to a classroom of Afghan children and helped them with their English lessons. Meghan taught the children phases such as “nice to meet you” and helped them learn the words for different colours by holding up different coloured markers. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7845639/meghan-harry2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/7723de19e2cb41b38f4076a94b482cf8" /> Image: Task Force Liberty Public Affairs Then both Harry and Meghan sang “Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” with the class to teach them English words for the body. Afterwards, the couple revealed that the tune was Archie’s favourite song. The former royals have been notoriously private about their children, Archie and Lilibet, and cited privacy as their main reason for stepping down from royal duties. Though they have shared aspects of their own lives and their departure from the royal family in interviews, few photos have been taken of their children by the paparazzi. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7845640/meghan-harry3.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/72ea2f8a298247efb2ad04a2ee8672dc" /> Image: Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst While visiting the refugee centre, Harry and Meghan learnt about Dari, one of the official languages of Afghanistan, from the refugees. They could be heard saying Tashakur to the people around them, with the phrase roughly translating to “Thank you”. The couple also thanked the teachers there for “tireless efforts, and reminded them to take care of themselves and their own mental health as well”, according to a statement they released.

Why Elizabeth, Charles and Camilla may miss Lilibet Diana's christening

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first daughter, Lilibet Diana, named for Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana, is five months old and hasn’t been christened yet, which prompted speculation from royal watchers on where and when a christening would eventually take place. This speculation prompted a spokesperson for the family to say yesterday that plans for the christening “have not been finalised”. A palace insider said there would not be a christening in the UK. Speaking to The Sun, author and editor of Majesty Magazine Ingrid Seward that if the christening took place in the United States, where Harry and Meghan now live, much of Harry’s immediate family would be absent. The reason key members of the Royal Family, including great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, grandparents Prince Charles and Camilla and uncle Prince Charles and aunt Kate may miss Lilibet’s christening is that their schedules simply wouldn’t allow for it. Seward said, "I don't think any members of the immediate Royal Family would have time [to fly over], their schedules are organised six months in advance.” When the couple’s first child, Archie, was christened at Windsor Castle in 2019, the Queen and Prince Philip did not attend as they were in Sandringham. The Queen also did not attend the christening of William and Kate’s youngest child, Prince Louis. It has been reported that Lilibet could be baptised into the Episcopal Church of the US, which is a member of the Anglican Communion. The Bishop who delivered the sermon at Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018, Bishop Michael Curry, is the head of the Episcopal Church and could officiate. However, Lilibet would not automatically be considered a member of the Church of England until she came to the UK and joined a local congregation. Seward said Harry and Meghan could baptise their daughter privately at Windsor Castle, which is what they did with Archie. Potential godparents that have been suggested by royal watchers include Princess Eugenie, Zara and Mike Tindall, or even Oprah Winfrey. Seward said the couple would choose someone particularly close to them, because, "with godparents you usually want someone who you've known all your life." Meghan herself was baptised into the church ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. Image: NDZ/Star Max/GC Images/Getty Images

Swedish royal family releases new photos of adorable family!

Prince Julian’s adorable christening photos have been released by the Swedish royal family. Parents Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip posed with their three children, in an official post released by the palace. Four-month-old Prince Julian was a bundle of joy wrapped up in his mother’s arm, as the family posed for the camera at their family summer home, Drottningholm Palace. Princess Sofia looked like a picture of elegance in a stunning floral gown, which she tied together with a silk white hair bow and off-white stilettos. The little family was joined by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, along with Sofia's parents, Marie and Erik Hellqvist. In another official portrait, the family can be seen posing with Prince Julian's five godparents, Jacob Högfeldt, Frida Vesterberg, Patrick Sommerlath and Johana and Stina Andersson. Julian wore a family heirloom for his christening, as it has been a tradition for royal babies to wear ever since Prince Gustaf Adolf's christening in 1906. His older siblings Prince Alexander and Prince Gabriel looked adorable in matching beige suit jackets and navy shorts, <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CSlpF8Dh1-q/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CSlpF8Dh1-q/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Prinsparet (@prinsparet)</a> </div> </blockquote> Prince Julian was born on March 26. In the series of snaps from the Christening, the Palace released a statement which read: "earlier today, Prince Julian, Duke of Halland, was baptised in Drottningholm's castle church. Officers at the baptism were the Supreme Court preacher Bishop Johan Dalman and Michael Bjerkhagen, pastor of the Royal. The Court Parish." "The prince's sponsors are Mr Johan Andersson, Mrs Stina Andersson, Mr Jacob Högfeldt, Mr Patrick Sommerlath and Miss Frida Vesterberg," the statement continued. "During the baptismal service, the assembled guests sang hymns 289 ('God's love is like the beach and the grass') and 201 ('Summer hymn'). Music was also performed by, among others, Lilla Akademien. Prince Julian's baptism will be televised tomorrow in @SVT." Princess Sofia celebrated the birth of her third son earlier this year, writing "Life gave me not just one but four beautiful princes."

Harry and Meghan rumoured to return to Windsor for Lilibet's christening

There are new reports saying that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could be heading to Windsor to get baby girl Lilibet baptised at Windsor Castle. The pair want the Queen to be among guests, but are aware the situation "will be definitely awkward". "Meghan isn't flavour of the month with the family," the Mirrors' royal editor Russel Myers explained. "Certainly, the family have always said they will be much-loved members of the family. "However, we're still talking about the fallout of the Oprah Winfrey interview, Emmy or no Emmy nomination. "The tensions are still running very, very high within the family, indeed." <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNPb_9B0fn/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNPb_9B0fn/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal)</a> </div> </blockquote> At the time of writing, it is just a rumour and nothing has been confirmed by the royal couple themselves, but considering brother Archie was baptised there in 2019, the rumour isn't without merit. Archie's baptism was a small affair, with just 25 guests in attendance and the full list was never made public.

Princess Eugenie cancels son's christening after COVID-19 scare

Princess Eugenie was forced to call off her son's christening at the last minute after a guest was alerted to a COVID-19 scare and placed in isolation. The baptism of August Philip Hawke Brooksbank was set to take place at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at Windsor on Saturday. Queen Elizabeth was among the guests including Eugenie's parents the Duke and Duchess of York and Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi - who are expecting their first child soon. Only 30 people were invited to the christening due to the UK's coronavirus restrictions. But moments before the ceremony was due to start at noon, Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank had to call it off. According to The Sun on Sunday, a guest was alerted to a coronavirus scare via the NHS COVID-19 app on their phone. It is unclear whether the guest was informed they had the virus or that they had been in contact with someone who had tested positive. A source told the publication: "One guest tested positive or was pinged for COVID contact and therefore no one else was able to gather. "As a result, they called off the service and reception party afterward at Royal Lodge, Prince Andrew's home. "The Queen and Eugenie's parents Fergie and Prince Andrew had all been due to attend." The guest then had to go into mandatory isolation for 10 days under the health regulations.

Prince Charles' monarchy plan denies Archie title of prince

Prince Charles' rumoured plans to slim down the monarchy when he becomes King has been said to exclude grandson Archie from ever becoming a prince. The move is said to have angered his son, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Prince Charles will reportedly have a smaller number of working royals performing official duties when he becomes King. "Harry and Meghan were told Archie would never be a Prince, even when Charles became King," confirmed the insider. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/B41zRstlfEY/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B41zRstlfEY/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal)</a> </div> </blockquote> Meghan Markle said in that infamous Oprah interview that she believes that it was racist to exclude her son of a royal title. "They didn't want him to be a prince….which would be different from protocol ... we have in tandem the conversation of, 'He won't be given security. He's not going to be given a title.' "And also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born."
