Kate Middleton, who was spotted in a Bella Freud design while visiting the RAF Coningsby, gave the message of "look at my work, not at my clothes," per Daily Express during her outing.
_
In recent months, Kate Middleton's aesthetic noticeably changed after her longtime stylist and assistant, Natasha Archer, stepped down to launch her own styling consultancy firm. "She has made a big difference to the duchess' wardrobe for public engagements and has helped give her a whole new sense of confidence," Richard Eden wrote for Daily Mail. "Catherine has been really impressed and is very grateful for her help."
_
Since becoming the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton has been seen in more business-casual pieces. "There is an absolute feeling that it [the public work] is not about what the princess is wearing," a palace insider told The Times.
_
"There will always be an appreciation of what the princess is wearing from some of the public, and she gets that. But do we need to be officially always saying what she is wearing? No," the insider continued. "The style is there but it's about the substance."
Princess Eugenie was named the patron of Artworks despite charities continuing to cut ties with her mother, Sarah Ferguson, over her recent scandal. Keep reading for the details… MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more top news

Artswork is "committed to empowering young people to lead, be changemakers and actively get involved and work within the arts and creative sector," per a statement.
_
"We are thrilled to announce that Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie has become our new patron," Artswork said in their announcement. "Her support marks a significant moment in our mission to champion creativity and amplify the voices of children and young people. "
_
"As a charity dedicated to empowering young lives through creativity, we're so pleased to have Her Royal Highness join us in advocating for inclusive, creative opportunities that enable young people to make change happen," Artwork continued.
_
Princess Eugenie is an art director despite being part of the royal family. "This partnership reflects a shared commitment to nurturing talent, building confidence, and empowering young people to become the next generation of creative and cultural leaders," Artwork shared. "Stay tuned for more as we begin this exciting new chapter together. @princesseugenie".

While Princess Eugenie continues to get opportunities, Sarah Ferguson is being dropped from organizations after it was reported she called Jeffrey Epstein a "supreme friend" — years after his death.
King Charles III's former butler Grant Harrold revealed how the festive season will look different this year.
"After the fire at Windsor Castle, the royal family was forced to relocate their Christmas holidays from Windsor to Sandringham," Harrold told OLBG. "The trip to Norfolk has been a part of their annual diary ever since, but I think the King may make another change and bring Christmas back to Windsor Castle."
_
"If not this year, in the near future. I think this could be another big change that the King brings in," Grant Harrold continued. "The King has already made big changes to the summer holiday plans, showing he's not afraid to adapt things to make it work better for how the family runs in 2025."
_
The royal family has been celebrating Christmas in Norfolk for several years, but returning to Windsor could be another opportunity to honor Queen Elizabeth II and past royals. "It's a lot easier for them to have Christmas at Windsor; it's much closer for all of them. It's where the King's parents and grandparents are laid to rest, so it's very special to him," Grant Harrold explained. "However, the King does like Sandringham. If he doesn't go at Christmas, he won't be back there for several months. So only time will tell."
_
Queen Elizabeth spent a lot of time at Windsor, where Prince Williamand Kate Middleton currently live with their three kids, before her passing. "I think Windsor will become their full base going forward," Grant Harrold predicted. "The late Queen Elizabeth II made Windsor Castle her official residence after the COVID pandemic." "Partly because she'd spent a lot of time there, but also because of the renovation works at Buckingham Palace," Harrold added.
_
King Charles III now resides at Clarence House after leaving Buckingham Palace behind. "The King is hardly using Buckingham Palace at all now. While Buckingham Palace is under renovation, I think there's more to it than that. Being a traditionalist, the King loves Windsor," Grant Harold said. "He's been doing a lot at Windsor for years, especially in the gardens. Windsor is becoming more of an 'official' residence of the King," he added. "It's where all the big events are taking place."
_
Kate Middleton and Prince William are also shaking things up, as they're relocating to Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park. "The Prince and Princess of Wales moving in very nearby adds to this theory, especially as it's said to be their 'forever home,'" Grant Harrold said. "I think William will use Windsor as his official base as well."
_
"They will, of course, still use London for certain events, but I think it will become like Palaces elsewhere in Europe, where it's more of a visitor and historical place," Grant Harrold continued.

Meghan Markle listed some of the items she'd like to sell through her brand — gardening tools, decorative home items, lanterns, candles, diffusers, stationery, giftware, cookware, pet accessories, pillows, bedding, yoga mats and more — in an application she filed on the United States Patent and Trademark Office's website.
_
Royal journalist Hanisha Sethi thinks Meghan Markle may also dive into fashion. "Meghan Markle has been overtly dropping clues as to how she plans to develop her brand, As Ever. The Duchess of Sussex's latest appearance at the Balenciaga show for Paris Fashion Week suggests something more strategic, that she may be laying the groundwork for her most exciting venture yet, a dedicated fashion line," she said. "If Meghan did explore fashion or a collaboration, she looks likely to align her signature minimalist aesthetic with her brand values."
_
Starting As Ever has been a series of trials and tribulations for Meghan Markle. "I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also to be forgiving with myself through that," she said. "It's a learning curve. There are tons of twists and turns."
Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice praised Sarah Ferguson's philanthropic efforts before numerous charities dropped the Duchess of York over her alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
While appearing on a podcast earlier this year, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice gushed over Sarah Ferguson's altruism. "Beatrice and I, from little, have always gone with mum on all her charity work — and that is so integral to her as a human," Eugenie said. "That was something she's instilled in us from a very early age: to give back. When you feel bad about yourself and the world, you give back to others."
_
Charitable organizations shunned Sarah Ferguson after a message she wrote to Jeffrey Epstein more than a decade ago recently leaked to the press. "The leaked emails are reputational napalm," PR expert Mark Borkowski said. "When a children's hospice decides the reputational risk of association outweighs the patronage of a duchess, the verdict is clear. She is toxic. Charities are bellwethers for public trust. If they won't touch her, then publishers, sponsors and producers won't either. This isn't a PR headache."
_
Lizzie Cundy, a friend of Sarah Ferguson, claimed the mother of two is distraught. "Sarah is absolutely devastated about losing the charities. Especially the cancer one, she herself had a cancer diagnosis recently, she's absolutely devastated. She's a human being, a mother, she's going through hell," she said.
_
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's father, Prince Andrew, also faced backlash over his alleged friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. "The Yorks are an extremely close-knit family. The disgrace of Sarah Ferguson has followed that of Prince Andrew, who has become an international pariah," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliamssaid. "Princess Beatrice andPrincess Eugenie will find their parents' predicament devastating."
Courtney Ann, known to her 1.2 million Instagram fans as Texas Thighs, didn't wait for October to make Halloween official. She kicked off spooky season early with a steamy leopard-print lingerie look that sent her Reel into chaos.
The viral clip — which quickly racked up over 14,000 likes and more than 300 comments — shows Courtney kneeling confidently on her dining table in a cut-out one-piece bodysuit, leaving her stomach, hips, and thighs on full display. Paired with fuzzy leopard ears and a playful robe reveal, the look was less "cute kitten" and more "alpha predator."
Courtney captioned the video:
"Did someone say spooky season? 👻 Little mini photoshoot 📸 What should I be for Halloween? ☺️"
Instagram didn't just answer — it erupted.
Fans Lose Their Minds In The Comments
Courtney Ann
Without missing a beat, Courtney's followers turned her comment section into a love letter to leopard print.
"There is NOTHING hotter than freckled cleavage! 😍" one admirer declared.
"Beautiful princess, I am always happy ❤️ Princess is beautiful😍" swooned another.
"Yummy, delicious 🔥🔥🔥🔥" one fan wrote, while another kept it simple: "Wow I'm in love."
Others ditched words entirely and responded with straight rows of fire, hearts, and drooling emojis — a universal language at this point.
What makes this moment even sweeter is knowing where she came from. Before the leopard ears and lingerie try-ons, Courtney was running a cleaning service in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Everything changed when her husband Nick, who is now her content partner, pushed her to post a fitness photo online.
"My husband told me I was sexy enough to be a model," Courtney previously shared. "He dared me to start an IG account — and here we are."
Within weeks, she was attracting thousands of followers. Within a year, she crossed six figures online. Now she's earning nearly half a million dollars annually on OnlyFans — all while staying unapologetically herself.
Her day still starts with green juice and homeschooling her daughters before transitioning into photoshoots, TikTok trends, and OnlyFans content planning. Nick helps behind the camera, turning their marriage into a fully functioning business partnership.
"The central theme of my content is love for my family," she's said. "I want to show that you can be sexy, confident, and still a mom and wife."
Halloween Content Warning: It's Only Getting Hotter
Courtney Ann
If this leopard-print warm-up is any indication, Courtney isn't just dressing up for Halloween, she's owning it. And with a costume haul likely on the way, her fans are already waiting for round two.
One follower summed it up best under the Reel:
"Halloween is officially canceled — Texas Thighs already won."
"When I denounced their infamous whine-a-thon interview with Oprah Winfrey, the MyTruth pioneer, in 2021 and lost my job hosting breakfast television as a result, it came at the very apex of woke insanity," Piers Morgan, who left ITV's Good Morning Britain in March 2021 after a backlash over his comments about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry complaining about royal life, said.
_
"Self-certifying as a victim – as Harry and Meghan so publicly did – meant your truth was gospel," Piers Morgan continued.
_
Now, the couple is trying to establish themselves in Hollywood after a series of poorly received projects, which don't seem to be taking off, according to the TV star.
"But the monarchy under King Charles is doing what monarchy does – enduring, calmly above the fray," Piers Morgan said. "Brand Sussex, meanwhile, is now about as popular as Ebola."
_
Piers Morgan often calls Meghan Markle names.
"Princess Pinnochio whining about people peddling lies. Hilarious," Morgan said on social media after a video of the duchess twerking in the delivery room went viral.
_
Since leaving the U.K., Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have asserted that commentary about the duchess is rooted in falsehoods.
Meghan told Emma Grede a "lie can't last forever" during an episode of "Aspire" when asked about the public's perception of her.
In the clip, Meghan Markle appeared to giggle as a model nearly fell on the runway. "Why does she find such joy in others tripping or falling?" one X user questioned.
"Very sympathetic. A real mark of a good person, eh?" a second wrote.
"Inappropriate laughter (usually at someone else's misfortune) is the only spontaneous thing Meghan does. All the rest is calculated and performative," a third said.
_
Royal expert Charlotte Griffiths defended Meghan Markle, saying she was out of her element in Paris. "She seemed a bit nervous. At one point, she sat in the front row and a model tripped. She burst out laughing. And then she obviously realized that was quite a cruel thing to do, so she sort of covered it up," she said.
_
According to an insider, Meghan Markle was paid a seven-figure sum to be at the event. "It wasn't an invite — it was a transaction," they claimed. "Balenciaga wanted global attention and Meghan delivered. Private jet, five-star suite, glam squad — all part of the agreement."
_
A representative for Meghan Markle clarified that she was there to support Balenciaga's new creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli. "Over the years, the duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo. They have worked closely together, collaborating on design for key moments on the world stage," the spokesperson said in a statement. "She has long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance and tonight was no different. This evening reflects the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship, reflected in her support for his new creative chapter at Balenciaga."
Did Prince Andrew lie about when he met Jeffrey Epstein? According to a former beauty queen, the late financer tried to introduce her to the disgraced royal years before Andrew claimed to have first come in contact with Epstein.
Keep reading to learn what the pageant personality said…
Beauty queen Beatrice Keulalleged Jeffrey Epstein boasted about his relationship with Prince Andrew six years before the Duke of York said they first met. "He kept saying he had very rich and powerful friends and knew the royal family. And then I said, 'The royal family?' And he said 'Prince Andrew,'" she recalled. "He said he could facilitate the contact. I was shocked because he wasn't the kind of guy that you'd think would be in the royal family's society."
_
Prince Andrew was reportedly introduced to Jeffrey Epstein through Ghislaine Maxwell. The 65-year-old initially claimed he met the businessman in the "early 1990s." Andrew later said he met Epstein in 1999.
_
King Charles III and Prince William shunned Prince Andrew from The Firm due to his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. According to royal reporterTom Sykes, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II will "never be photographed alongside Prince William again."

Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, is also facing the consequences of her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. The Duchess of York was dropped by numerous charities after a sympathetic email she sent to the late s** offender leaked.
Dave Mason is one of those rare musicians whose influence spans decades, genres and generations. Known for his soulful guitar playing and rich vocals, Mason has left an indelible mark on the world of rock. From his early days with the iconic band Traffic to his successful solo career and collaborations with some of the biggest names in music, Mason's journey is that of a true rock legend.
Early Life and Background
David Thomas Mason was born on May 10, 1946, in Worcester, England. Growing up in the heart of Britain during the post-war era, Mason found solace and excitement in the sounds of early rock and roll, blues and skiffle. Inspired by guitar pioneers of his time, he began experimenting with the instrument as a teenager, quickly realizing his gift for both melody and emotion. His passion and technique would one day place him amongthe best guitarists of all time, earning him respect from peers and fans alike.
The Formation of Traffic
Mason's big break came in the late 1960s when he joined forces with Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood to form Traffic. The band was part of the British rock explosion that changed music forever. Mason contributed not only as a guitarist but also as a talented songwriter and vocalist. His composition "Feelin' Alright" became one of the most covered songs in rock history, recorded by artists like Joe Cocker and Three Dog Night. Although Mason's relationship with the band was turbulent — he left and rejoined several times — his influence on Traffic's sound was undeniable. His creative tension with Winwood added depth to the band's psychedelic and blues-infused style, helping to define the era's musical identity.
Solo Career Breakthrough
After parting ways with Traffic, Mason launched his solo career, achieving immediate success with his debut album Alone Together in 1970. The album's standout tracks, such as "Only You Know and I Know" and "Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave," showcased his ability to blend soulful vocals with intricate guitar work. The album was also unique for its marble-colored vinyl release, which made it a collector's favorite. Over the years, Mason continued to refine his style, moving seamlessly between rock, pop and blues influences. His 1977 album Let It Flow became one of his most successful, featuring the timeless hit "We Just Disagree," which remains a staple on classic rock radio.
Collaborations and Musical Influence
Few artists can boast the kind of collaborations Mason has enjoyed. He played rhythm guitar on Jimi Hendrix's iconic recording of "All Along the Watchtower," a song that remains one of the greatest guitar tracks ever recorded. Mason also worked with The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton and George Harrison — artists who themselves are legends in the industry. His brief stint with Fleetwood Mac in the 1990s further cemented his reputation as a versatile and highly respected musician. Mason's fluid playing style, emotional tone and impeccable timing have inspired generations of guitarists who regard him as one of the best guitarists of all time.
Notable Songs and Albums
Throughout his career, Mason has released a series of acclaimed albums that showcase his range as both a performer and songwriter: Alone Together (1970), Dave Mason (1974), Let It Flow (1977) and Old Crest on a New Wave (1980). Each record reveals a different layer of Mason's artistry — from his bluesy roots to his soulful rock sound — and continues to resonate with fans around the world.
Touring and Live Performances
Known for his warm stage presence and impressive live performances, Mason has been a fixture on the touring circuit for more than five decades. His concerts blend nostalgia with musical excellence, giving audiences a taste of classic rock history. Whether performing solo or alongside other legendary musicians, Mason's mastery of the guitar and his emotional delivery make every show unforgettable.
Awards and Recognition
In 2004, Mason was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of Traffic, a recognition that underscored his contribution to one of rock's most innovative bands. Critics and fellow artists continue to praise his songwriting and guitar skills, noting his unique ability to merge technical brilliance with deep emotion.
Personal Life and Legacy
Beyond music, Mason has dedicated time to charitable causes and community work, reflecting the same authenticity that defines his songs. His career, which spans more than half a century, serves as an inspiration to aspiring musicians who seek to balance creativity, individuality and longevity. Mason's influence can be heard in countless modern artists who cite him as an inspiration. His blend of rock, folk and soul has helped shape the evolution of popular music.
Conclusion
Dave Mason is far more than just a talented guitarist — he is a storyteller, a pioneer and a bridge between generations of rock music. His songs capture both the spirit of the 1960s and the timeless emotion that continues to move listeners today. With a career rich in innovation, collaboration and heart, Mason stands proudly among the best guitarists of all time, a true legend who helped define what it means to make music that lasts forever.

Princess Diana's butler, Paul Burrell, revealed just how Prince Philip was able to enjoy drives outside of the palace walls. "They [the royal family] have a people carrier that seats about 12 people, and they tag that onto processions for minor royals and household staff," Burrell told Coachhop.
_
"They will go to the venue in that vehicle, which you often see at state occasions," Paul Burrell continued. "It was there for Kate and William's wedding, and it was there for the Queen's funeral."
_
The royal family's van made it obvious that a member of the family was in the car, but Prince Philip had a strategy for going incognito in traffic.
"Prince Philip had a converted London taxi as well," Paul Burrell shared. "It was converted to electric, and very often it was parked by what we called the 'Prince of Wales luggage door' in the quadrangle."
_
"He would go out in that with his personal protection office into the crowd, and nobody would recognize him," Paul Burrell explained about Prince Philip, who was an avid driver until he voluntarily surrendered his license in 2019.
"If they did go to a big wedding and there was a coach transfer, they would probably get on, it's the easiest way for them to get to A to B in a large number of people," he continued.
One royal mystery has been solved. At Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's 2018 wedding at St. George's Chapel, a seat next to Prince Andrew was left conspicuously empty. A report has revealed why…
Princess Eugenie left the chair next to Prince Andrew vacant at her wedding because her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, chose to sit behind it, and royal protocol dictates that no one should sit in front of the monarch. The late queen reportedly chose to sit in the second row because the first row was uncomfortable. Also on hand during the ceremony were family members Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice, Prince Philip, King Charles III, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Princess Anne, Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall.
_
Prince Andrew walked Princess Eugenie down the aisle at the Windsor Castle church, where she exchanged vows with Jack Brooksbank. The bride donned a silk Zac Posen gown for the ceremony. The royal family celebrated later with a private dinner at Royal Lodge.
_
The wedding took place years before the royal family started shunning Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson over their ties to Jeffrey Epstein. "The Yorks are an extremely close-knit family. The disgrace of Sarah Ferguson has followed that of Prince Andrew, who has become an international pariah," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliamssaid, adding that "Princess Beatrice andPrincess Eugenie will find their parents' predicament devastating."
Thomas Markle wants to have a word with King Charles III. Meghan Markle's estranged father expressed his desire to connect with the monarch over their broken relationships with their adult children.
Prince Harry and King Charles III are attempting to mend their broken relationship. Thomas Markle and Meghan Markle have been distant since the former lighting director began talking to the press before Meghan and Harry tied the knot in 2018. "I would like to speak to Charles. Of all the people on the planet, he knows what it feels like to be estranged from a child and how tough it is," Thomas said in a recent interview.
_
Before Meghan Markle and Prince Harry married, Thomas Markle suffered a heart attack. As a result, he was unable to attend the ceremony, leaving King Charles III to walk the former actress down the aisle. "I'm still deeply grateful to King Charles III for doing that. I wish it could have been me," the 81-year-old said. "I wish I could've been there. I was very proud of her that day."
_
Despite his rift with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Thomas Markle wishes he could be involved in his grandchildren's lives. "When you are a grandparent, you think about things like that. I'd love a photograph," he said of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Prince William, who is notoriously private, seemed to get emotional while discussing Kate Middleton's cancer battle and remission, according to a body language expert.
During an episode of The Reluctant Traveler, Eugene Levy asked Prince William about Kate Middleton's health battle. "We've been very lucky; we hadn't had many illnesses in the family for a very long time. My grandparents lived until they were in the high 90s," William said, referencing the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
"They were the vision of fitness, and stoicism, and resilience, if you like. So we've been very lucky as a family," he added. "But I think, when you suddenly realize that the rug, if you were, the metaphorical rug, can be pulled from under your feet quite quick at any point. You maybe think to yourself, 'It won't happen to us, we'll be OK.' Because I think everyone has a positive outlook, you've got to be positive. But when it does happen to you, then it takes you into some pretty not great places."
_
According to the expert, Prince William was vulnerable during the chat with the actor.
"Unlike his brother, Prince William has clearly inherited the stoic gene that he talks about when referring to his 'stoic & resilient' royal relatives," Judi James told Daily Express. "He impersonalizes these rather tragic references by generalizing verbally, referring to how 'you' cope rather than focusing on himself."
"His eyes look down a lot to protect and shield his inner feelings, but when he does look up they are pink and watery, showing a hint of tears that he is clearly at pains to suppress," James continued. "There is a wry smile of fondness as he mentions his grandparents and how long they lived, but we can see the furrows of concern etched between his brows."
_
Though Prince William said it's "great" that Kate Middleton is in remission, he wasn't shy about how it took a toll on him and his family.
"He mimes the rug being 'pulled from under your feet' in what looks like an act of distraction because it's here that the emotions threaten to overwhelm him," Judi James said. "He strives to be seen as positive, tapping his index finger onto the side of his forehead, but the gesture becomes a self-comfort scratching."
_
"As he says, you think it 'won't happen to you,' his voice chokes a little and he scratches at his beard in another self-comfort ritual before he clears his throat in a bid to carry on," Judi James continued.
_
Prince William cared for Kate Middleton as she underwent treatment, even taking on royal duties due to his father, King CharlesIII, also being diagnosed with cancer at the same time.
"William is not a man given to over-sharing his emotions in public, and it's possibly this that makes this moment so unbearably sad to watch," Judi James noted. "He shows vulnerability but without acting vulnerable and instead trying to focus on the positives, but in the end it's the powerful emotions that win here."
While promoting Spare on Good Morning America, Prince Harry was asked if he could see himself returning to royal duties one day. "No, I don't think it is ever going to be possible," Harry shared.
_
"Even if there is an agreement or an arrangement between me and my family, there is that third party that is going to do everything they can to make sure that isn't possible," Prince Harry continued. "Not stopping us going back, but making it unsurvivable."
_
In Spare and Harry & Meghan, Prince Harry came after some of his family, alleging Kate Middleton was cold toward his wife, Meghan Markle. "Harry's decision to drag Kate into this narrative was both unnecessary and hurtful," royal editor Ingrid Seward told the Daily Mirror. "She's always been the epitome of grace under pressure, and this incident paints a distorted picture of who she really is."
_
As a result, Prince William was hurt by Prince Harry's words about Kate Middleton, royal biographer Katie Nicholl claimed.
"I do know that William was very angry that Harry had drawn Kate into it when he felt Kate was blameless throughout," Nicholl shared. "She acted very much as the peacekeeper, she tried to get the brothers back on an even keel, and for Kate to be dragged into this mucky saga was upsetting for her and certainly did infuriate William."
While visiting the RAF Coningsby, Kate Middleton shared that Prince Louis hopes to become a fighter pilot.
Military training is expected of royals once they reach a certain age. Prince William previously served as a search and rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force.
_
"I'm going to tell them [Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis] it takes eight years and a lot of hard work," Kate Middleton noted when discussing pilot training.
_
Kate Middleton was gifted model Typhoons for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis during the outing. "Somebody told us that your children were very excited about you seeing a plane," they shared. "They'll be very upset that I've seen a Typhoon without them," Kate admitted.
_
Kate Middleton was able to do a loop the loop in an RAF Typhoon jet simulator during her time at RAF Coningsby, leaving Group Captain Paul O'Grady impressed.
"She seems to be a natural pilot, so we might have to get her qualified and get her flying a Typhoon, if she's up for it," O'Grady said, per Marie Claire.
Prince William will be leading England in his own way. The Prince of Wales recently admitted he plans to make some big changes when he takes over from King Charles III.

Most English kings have lived in London. Prince William is reportedly making his new Forest Lodge home in Windsor his permanent residence.
2. Making the royal family less formal
Prince William wants the royal family to be less about pomp and circumstance and more about philanthropy. "I'm trying to do it differently, and I'm trying to do it for my generation," he said in a 2024 interview. "To give you more of an understanding around it, I'm doing it with maybe a smaller R in the 'royal,' if you like — that's maybe a better way of saying it. … It's more about impact philanthropy, collaboration, convening and helping people. And I'm also going to throw empathy in there as well because I really care about what I do. It helps impact people's lives. And I think we could do with some more empathetic leadership around the world."
3. Focus on areas of philanthropy that need the most help
The Firm currently helps hundreds of charities across the U.K. Prince William will reportedly focus on causes such as homelessness, the environment, mental health and emergency services.
4. Being more outspoken on social issues
King Charles III was outspoken on social issues before he became England's monarch. Prince William plans to be more vocal about evoking positive change when he takes the throne. "I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, in a world and a job that actually does impact people's lives for the better," the father of three told Eugene Levy on the actor's Apple TV+ show, The Reluctant Traveler.
5. Pairing down members of The Firm
With Prince Harry living in America and Prince Andrew exiled due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Prince William will continue to slim down the number of working members of the royal family.
Did the royal family shade Prince Harry?

Some people online were not fans of the look. "She just wore this suit a couple of weeks ago. Please do repeat, but not in such quick succession, when you have other suits and dresses you could wear. Plus, the gray jumper with the gray suit doesn't really work," one social media user wrote below an Instagram post.
"I'm not so sure about the outfit. The gray and gray combo looks a bit boring. A white shirt would have been nice," a second person said.
"I love this suit, but a little bit too much gray with the top. A white or black one would have been a better choice," a third added.
"Too much gray in this outfit. She should have worn a light pink, white or black blouse," a fourth chimed in.

Sarah Ferguson, who lives at the Royal Lodge with Prince Andrew, purchased a townhouse in Belgravia for $5.7 million in cash. However, the duchess was only able to sell the investment property for $5.17 million. "[She] wasn't looking to sell it. She was asked by the tenant to buy it, and it seemed like a good time to sell," spokesperson James Henderson told GB News. "It's an investment property for her girls, and so the monies will be reinvested accordingly."

Aside from losing money in the housing market, Sarah Ferguson's star power is dwindling after it was reported that she emailed Jeffrey Epstein despite publicly denouncing him. "You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family," Ferguson wrote to the disgraced financier.

When Jeffrey Epstein was first accused of harming minors, Sarah Ferguson called their relationship a "gigantic error of judgment," and stressed, "What he did was wrong and for which he was rightly jailed."

Prince Harry is reportedly at a loss over how to fix his broken relationship with his family. According to an expert, the Duke of Sussex is unsure of who to trust within The Firm after accusing staffers at Buckingham Palace of leaking information about his reunion with King Charles III to the press.
According to royal expert Duncan Larcombe, Prince Harry's public accusation that royal staffers gave information to the media put a wrench in mending his relationship with King Charles III. "The strength of the statement from his team was a sign of just how frustrated Harry's feeling and how he doesn't know who he can trust," Larcombe said. "He might be worrying that it's a hopeless cause and the efforts to reconcile with his dad are ruined. It's difficult for Harry. How do you reconcile with your father when you worry there are other people involved that you can't trust?"

The visit to England was a sign that Prince Harry wants to repair his relationships within the royal family and the entire country. "He is clearly wanting to try to increase his popularity back in the U.K. and build some bridges but is finding it much more difficult than he anticipated," Duncan Larcombe said.

Said a spokesperson, "Recent reporting of the duke's view of the tone of the meeting is categorically false. The quotes attributed to him are pure invention fed, one can only assume, by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father and son."

An insider claimed King Charles III and Buckingham Palace officials are "bemused, perplexed and saddened" by Prince Harry's accusations. "The reality is that senior aides have been working behind the scenes to improve what is a delicate but important private family relationship," the source said.
