The recent Windsor spectacle for the US President had all the trimmings: a golden carriage procession, a lavish banquet under glittering chandeliers, and a sort of pomp only the Brits can pull off.

But for the ‘Spare’ and his better half, watching from afar in California, the pageantry was a sting, as it celebrated a man who had publicly mocked, insulted, and threatened them.

The Sussexes have a long, strained history with the US President. And it goes well before their royal exit.

To make matters worse, the US President, adding salt to the wounds, used his state dinner toast to heap praise on Prince William, calling him Charles’s remarkable son.’

Prince Harry’s UK trip made headlines for his long-awaited reunion with King Charles, signaling a healthy step toward mending their rift.

While the Duke of Sussex was delighted to see his father, he also secretly met another royal to comfort him in his grief.

A source recently confirmed that the Duke met Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, to pay his condolences for the Duchess of Kent's passing.

They added that Harry’s ‘only regret’ in the trip was not spending enough time with loved ones, owing to his packed schedule.

Palace life has always appeared well-oiled from the outside, glittering gowns, massive state banquets with exquisite crockery, and fresh flowers in every nook.

Shows like The Crown have only reinforced that image of seamless order.

But, for the staff who kept the Palace machine running, the job came with rules so strict that it could 'rattle' even the most confident.

Former royal butler Paul Burrell recently confessed that one rule in particular left him especially 'nervous' in his early days working for Queen Elizabeth.
