'You lasted in the Royal Family for 17 months.

Picture exposes Kate's Trump nightmare
What. About. The. Lawn. In 2019 Donald and Melania Trump packed up their his and her medical-grade bronzer tubs and headed to London for a State visit, landing on the Buckingham Palace lawn in Marine One, the presidential helicopter. One was not amused. Days later Scott 'I don't hold the hose' Morrison visited the Palace and the late Queen, per the Times, 'marched him to a window to look out at the once green and pleasant grass and said: 'Come and look at my lawn. It's ruined.'' Let's hope the royal family's under gardeners are ready given that Mr Trump is set to return to London for an historic second State. (It is reportedly 'pencilled in' for September.) And let's hope that Kate, The Princess of Wales is already working on her game face for what will be the most charged, if not hardest, assignment of her royal career. Kate and Trump. Smiling side-by-side. Just imagine it. You can't quite, right? But this moment will happen, along with 98 other smiley, pose-y, 'say fromage for the cameras' instances during the visit, during which Mr Trump will try and impress the princess with big talk of his putting game and she will attempt to explain why her father-in-law is not interested in invading Iceland. What a meeting of minds. And what diplomatic heroics will the expected of Kate as she faces assuming a major role for the trip. In 2019, the last time that the Trumps and their individual hair care crates were in the UK, Kate was the Duchess of Cambridge, a significant place removed from the throne. Back then, she and Prince William were able to fly under the radar and take relatively back seat roles. Her responsibilities extended entirely to sourcing an Alexander McQueen gown and remembering to wash her hair or the State dinner. Not this time. If the 2025 trip is anything like the one six years ago, as the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate will be expected to host the Trumps for tea and to step up to help King Charles and Queen Camilla shoulder the hoisting load during the scheduled-to-the-millisecond, multi-day Cirque du Soleil-level formal production. Kate might have a few State visits as a princess under her belt (South Africa, South Korea, Japan and Qatar) but nothing like this year's American one given the involvement of the world's most famous McNugget consumer. Even months out, the Trump visit is already shaping up to be the most charged State event of Kate's 14 years on the royal clock, surpassing that time in 2015 when China's President Xi Jingping turned up for his go in a gold carriage down The Mall and faced protesters. (Courtiers no doubt all let out a collective sigh of relief that Prince Philip was several hours away in Norfolk glueing together an Airfix model of a Spitfire and couldn't be bothered to try out any new material.) For this visit, the demands put on William and Kate for a note perfect performance will be that much greater. The prince has already gotten a taste of this, having what was by all accounts a very warm and chummy meeting with Trump in Paris in December last year. (William does know something about being an apprentice after all.) The success of that face-to-face speaks to the demands put on working members to put aside all personal thought and feeling and to quiescently do what Whitehall asks of them. After all, William's marquee project is The Earthshot Prize, giving away nearly $100 million to creative and exciting climate crisis solutions; the Trump administration is opening up Millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness to drilling and mining. For Kate and William, this US State visit will be a major taste of what lies ahead for them – having to do the glad-handing bidding of Downing Street. (State visits are organised at the request of the government of the day, not based on who the sovereign fancies having over for a Scotch Finger.) Kings and Queens are required to remain blandly, politically neutral at all times, to be perpetually smiling milquetoast automatons in good quality wool separates. Their personal tastes, preferences and ideological inclinations can and will never enter the equation. Come September, the realpolitik demanded of royalty will be on full display. Even then, no matter how much hot air there will be coming out of governmental and royal functionaires about special relationships, the rest of the UK's 68 million people might not feel the same way. William and Kate will be working their smiling muscles and playing very very nice with the Cousins but on the streets of the capital public feeling could be running high. Mr Trump's trips to the UK in 2018 and 2019 were met with large-scale public resistance. There were mass protests, nearly 1.9 million people signed a petition opposing his visit; newly knighted London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan forcefully denounced the president; and then speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow barred him from addressing parliament. Things already sound a tad tense. Meeting Mr Trump's 'sky high' expectations of the visit is reportedly proving quite the royal headache. Tim Shipman, the Sunday Times ' chief political commentator, reported this week that the Palace and Downing Street 'have struggled to agree the details [of the trip] with the White House'. Unlike say Mr Xi who got to enjoy the pomp of being jostled and jigged in a wooden coach around central London beside the late Queen, 'officials say Trump is a far bigger assassination threat and there is no coach sufficiently armoured to allow him to use it.' There is also the question of where to stash Mr and Mrs Trump. Buckingham Palace is in the midst of a ten-year renovation and King Charles has, and may very well never, live there. Adding another possibly testy element – Charles is the King of Canada, a country that Mr Trump has threatened to annex. A visit earlier this month to Ottawa saw the King very obviously demonstrate his support for the country, and his speech to their parliament was 'a coded rebuke to Trump's expansionist urges,' per the Times. Unlikely to impress the president either is that French President Emmanuel Macron is set to get his own royal State visit months before the American one. 'It is an open secret,' Shipman wrote, 'that the King is happy' about this trumping. Egos, a lack of carriages, dogs, aides, renovations, helicopters, dinners, finger sandwiches, nerves, sensitivities: There is a lot involved in the Trumps' arrival, any – all – of it could go pear-shaped and Kate will be at the heart of things. Lucky girl. There is one perfect moment though that, let us pray, gets recreated somehow. In 2019, Queen Camilla went viral after being caught on camera winking behind Mr Trump's back. Oooh errrr Your Majesty. Give us another one, please.

'He's desperately hoping': Prince Harry's emotional motivation for letting Meghan share photos of Archie and Lilibet online revealed by insider
Prince Harry is reportedly allowing his wife Meghan Markle to post more photos of their children online in the hopes it will prompt a reconciliation with his father, King Charles III. The Duke of Sussex, who has long guarded the privacy of his young children, six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet, has traditionally avoided sharing images of them publicly. However, since Meghan's return to Instagram earlier this year, glimpses into their family life have become more frequent. Most recently, the 43-year-old Duchess shared a series of photos and videos from a family trip to Disneyland to celebrate Lili's birthday, offering rare insight into their life in California. According to a source quoted by Daily Mail Spotlight, Harry's decision is part of a "desperate" effort to show the Royal Family what they're missing out on- especially his father. "Harry is completely heartbroken," the insider said. "His dad refuses to see him or the kids- not even on Zoom… It's a last resort. "He's desperately hoping the King might see a picture of Archie or Lilibet and realise what he's missing." The insider also claimed Harry has made multiple attempts to reconnect with his family. "He's tried everything- calls, letters… But nothing's worked," they added. "This is his way of saying, 'Look at what you're missing'." The report comes shortly after Harry spoke to BBC News about his ongoing estrangement from the Royal Family and his hopes for healing the rift. "There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family," he said from his Montecito home after losing a legal battle over his UK security arrangements. "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious." Harry added, "I don't know how much longer my father has. "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile." Since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have built a new life in the US, launching a number of projects including their Archewell Foundation, a podcast series, a bombshell memoir and a lucrative partnership with Netflix. Through Archewell, the couple have championed child safety online via The Parents Network and recently hosted an event in New York calling for stronger protections on social media platforms. "Life is better off social media," Harry said at the time. While Meghan still rarely shows her children's faces online, she's said her new Instagram presence is focused on authenticity. "You have to be authentic," she said in an interview with British entrepreneur Emma Grede on the Aspire podcast. "…I'm just grateful that now, being back on social (media) as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms." has contacted Sussex representatives for comment.
