Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, is set to release his new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, ahead of the 30th anniversary of her death. In an excerpt released, Spencer claimed that King Charles, shortly after Diana’s death, said the world would ‘forget her soon enough.’

In response, Buckingham Palace issued a rare statement addressing the memoir. While the Palace said the royal family does not comment on books as a matter of principle, it acknowledged the way grief can affect memory and judgment, saying King Charles was mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can shape how events are remembered. 👀

Prince Harry celebrated his 42nd birthday on Tuesday, marking his first birthday in the UK in 6 years. Meghan Markle marked the occasion by sharing a montage of family moments alongside a romantic video of the couple enjoying a drive through the countryside.

However, one detail in the video caught the attention of eagle-eyed royal watchers. Harry was seen driving from the left-hand front seat, prompting speculation that the footage may not have been recorded during their recent UK trip. If so, the seemingly intimate birthday moment may actually be from an earlier period. 😮

Prince William once gave Gary Oldman a brutally honest reaction to his role as Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses, and the actor has now revealed the hilarious remark. William apparently told Oldman, “Every time you come on the screen, I just want to give you a good wash!”

But William isn’t the only royal tuning in. Oldman also revealed that Queen Camilla is a fan of the series and has even asked whether more episodes are coming. 📺

Yesterday’s poll showed that 36.24% of readers believe Charles should listen more closely to regional concerns, making it the most popular response. Another 25.50% felt he should leave political decisions to elected governments, while 22.14% said he should strengthen ties with all three nations. Just 16.10% wanted Charles to take a more visible role in celebrating the Union.

Several readers highlighted the importance of Charles maintaining a presence across the UK. One reader said the King “should be seen in all regions of the UK,” adding that he and the royal family should have “a greater presence in Wales.” Another penned: “It’s a Governmental political area that King Charles should leave to the Government but also be kept informed.” Overall, the responses suggest readers place greater emphasis on Charles listening to regional concerns while remaining mindful of the constitutional limits of his role.

King Charles had a scenic moment in the Scottish Highlands as he unveiled a companion granite stone at Cairngorms National Park, its twin to Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park. The stone celebrates the two parks’ shared geological history.

The Scottish Highlands and Appalachian Mountains were once part of the same ancient mountain range before geological forces gradually separated them across the Atlantic. Against the stunning backdrop of the Cairngorms, Charles marked a connection that dates back millions of years, bringing together two landscapes separated by an ocean but linked by their remarkable geological past. 🌳

Queen Camilla has a surprisingly relatable daily ritual: she plays Wordle with one of her granddaughters! The pair reportedly play the popular word game and text each other their scores, turning the royal family’s group chat into a little competition.

Camilla has even admitted to enjoying the moment when she beats her granddaughter, joking that it is “very satisfactory” when she manages to solve the puzzle in fewer attempts.
