However, sources close to the Prince of Wales suggested it would be unlikely the youngsters would ever be welcomed in as working royals under his reign.
As reported by
An insider claimed: 'What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesn't mention it at all. It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head, it was a very close relationship and he was very upset.
"But he's not letting it get to him at all any more. It is a change. It's sad, but it's a much healthier space for him to be at.'

'And 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.
'So 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.

Grede came back: "You're very measured about it, I would just get so angry if I felt like everyone was lying about me all the time."
"Peaks and valleys," said the Duchess.

Royal author and broadcaster Hugo Vickers and news commentator Samara Gill also spoke to The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson about Meghan's comments.
On Royal Exclusive, Matt noted how he was stunned at Meghan's latest podcast interview where she asked people to "tell the truth about her".
Samara said: "The fact is she is a constant liar and her whole brand is built on a spin of lies."

"I don't trust a word that woman says. I think it is very, very low for her to insinuate that we should listen to her truth or that the royal family should tell the truth.
"The lack of authenticity in that interview is palpable."

Ex-World Snooker Champ maverick Luca Brecel fails to show up for start of season after going public with new girlfriend
LUCA BRECEL did not bother to turn up for the first day of the new snooker season and will miss out on a mega-money Chinese takeaway. The Belgian Bullet has fallen a long way since becoming 3 Luca Brecel has missed the first day of the new season Credit: Getty 3 Brecel was a no-show in Leicester - and appeared to be out of the country with his new flame Shawney Demuyter Credit: Instagram 3 The 2023 world champion swapped the baize for pizza Credit: Instagram The 2025-26 baize campaign began on Sunday with Wuhan Open qualifying and Brecel, 30, was due to play Pakistani Haris Tahir. It was scheduled to take place at 2.30pm at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester. Yet Brecel, who has fallen to 39th on the WST list, appears not to have been in the country. So, a 5-0 walkover was awarded to his opponent, who secured a spot in the main draw in the Far East. READ MORE ON SNOOKER On Saturday, he posted images of himself with his reported new girlfriend Shawney Demuyter and hours before his match he uploaded a photo of pizzas and two wine glasses. If anything, it suggested he was not necessarily in the mood for break-building. It is another sorry situation for a potting maverick who lives by his own rules. His absence means he will not take part in the Wuhan Open, which takes place in the last week of August and has a top prize of about £140,000.

Eagle-eyed fans spot blunder in Meghan Markle's latest Instagram post promoting As Ever brand
EAGLE-eyed royal fans have spotted a surprising blunder in Meghan Markle's latest Instagram post – despite the Duchess of Sussex being praised for her 'attention to detail'. The photo, posted on the official Instagram page of her lifestyle brand As Ever, appears to be a heartfelt thank-you to followers. 6 The image, believed to be taken in Meghan's kitchen in Montecito, California, seems to have accidentally revealed more than intended Credit: aseverofficial/Instagram 6 Fans quickly noticed something that seemed out of place – a small black mouse cursor just above Meghan's hand on the left edge of the picture Credit: aseverofficial/Instagram 6 The new honey – priced at £21 – is said to have a 'beautiful golden hue' and 'delicate floral notes with subtle citrus undertones' Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 6 Now, Meghan's oversight has led some to call this her own 'take two' moment Credit: oprahdaily / instagram But the image, believed to be taken in Meghan's kitchen in Montecito, California, seems to have accidentally revealed more than intended. At first glance, the post looks polished and charming. A handwritten note sits neatly in the centre of the picture on a marble worktop, reading: 'You're beautiful. Full stop.' The note is surrounded by sprigs of thyme, two eggs, a rolling pin and scattered flour, with Meghan's hand peeking into the bottom left corner of the image. Read more on Royals However, fans quickly noticed something that seemed out of place – a small black mouse cursor just above Meghan's hand on the left edge of the picture. The digital slip suggests the image may have been taken as a screen grab, rather than a fresh photograph. Followers took to social media to comment on the tiny detail. One user posted on Twitter: 'Eagle eye right there.' Most read in Royals Another wrote: 'I didn't even notice that, well spotted,' as the image gained attention online. Others were excited to simply catch a glimpse behind the scenes of the Duchess's latest project – a lifestyle venture that's seen a wave of success since launching earlier this year. The cursor blunder has drawn comparisons to another royal photo mishap. Last year, the Princess of Wales came under fire for edits made to an official family photo, sparking widespread speculation and criticism. Now, Meghan's oversight has led some to call this her own 'take two' moment. It follows another incident at the start of the year when Meghan made her long-awaited return to social media. On New Year's Day, she posted a video of herself barefoot on the beach, writing '2025' in the sand. But sharp-eyed viewers spotted an earlier attempt already written nearby – suggesting the scene may have required a few takes. One follower quipped: 'Wonder how many it took to get the perfect shot?' while others noticed multiple footprints in the background that hinted at previous runs. This week's Instagram post came as Meghan launched three new items under her As Ever brand – a Napa Valley rosé wine, an apricot spread, and a limited-edition orange blossom honey. In her caption, she wrote: 'It's true. From our hearts to your homes, thank you for being here. You're the sweetest part of what we do!' The new wine is Meghan's first move into the drinks market, described by the brand as having 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality and a lasting finish'. The The new honey – priced at £21 – is said to have a 'beautiful golden hue' and 'delicate floral notes with subtle citrus undertones'. It sold out quickly, along with the apricot spread, which comes in either a keepsake jar (£10) or a standard pot (£7). The brand also brought back several items from its first collection, including raspberry spread, herbal teas, flower sprinkles and shortbread cookie mix. Most of the original items sold out within an hour of launch. Meghan originally announced the brand earlier this year under the name Explaining the name switch, she said: 'Last year, I had thought, 'American Riviera', that sounds like such a great name… but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area.' She added: 'As Ever essentially means as it's always been… If you've followed me since 2014 with The Tig, you know I've always loved cooking and crafting and gardening — this is what I do.' Now, as her followers continue to grow – with her personal account @meghan already boasting over 3.9 million – every post she shares is under the spotlight. And as this latest image proves, no detail, however small, escapes notice. 6 The 2023 rosé will be available to buy from 1 July, just in time for summer Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 6 Most of the original items sold out within an hour of launch Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk
