As reported by the Telegraph, Prince Harry sought security protection after a threat was made against him by al-Qaeda.

Court documents, which were disclosed as part of Harry's court case over the level of taxpayer-funded protection he is granted while in Britain, show he feared for his family's safety.

The documents say: “The appellant confirmed that he had requested certain protection after a threat was made against him by al-Qaeda.”

Shaheed Fatima KC said that al-Qaeda called for Harry “to be murdered” after his protection was downgraded in 2020.

Members of the Royal Family wore varying shades of green during an Easter Sunday service last year. They attended the Easter Mattins Service at St George's Chape, Windsor, amid a challenging time for the monarchy.

As reported by the MailOnline, they wore green due to its association with cvancer awareness and Macmillan Cancer Support. It was widely interpreted as a sign of support for King Charles and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who had publicly revealed their cancer diagnoses earlier that year.

After Meghan Markle addressed 2,000 people at the One Young World summit in Manchester in 2022, body language expert Judi James said her red outfit complemented her affectionate remarks towards Prince Harry.

She said: "Meghan's 'love language' has always been about very public verbal and non-verbal declarations of the kind of coy and gushing responses that tend to normally define the wedding stage of a relationship."

She added to the MailOnline: "The Duchess' coyness rituals here are used as a nod or a knowing aside to the audience. Telling them she's 'thrilled' to welcome 'my husband' to the summit, she performs a secretive-looking smile.

"Her head dips slightly, her cheeks become the 'apple' shape of bashful coyness, her brows raise for emphasis and her smile involves a puckering of the lower lip as though she's trying to self-censor her own signals of being a woman besotted and in love.

"When she refers to 'my husband,' her facial movements imply she is momentarily overwhelmed by that love.

"She pauses and her eyes close and the pause seems timed to prompt the whoops and cheers of delight from the audience. When her eyes open again they appear to flick straight to Harry, who is himself sitting in the audience."

However, the Duke of Sussex did not reciprocate the feelings. He adopted a "frozen" pose while she "giggled breathlessly into her mic."

Judi said: "His upbringing in the royal family would have been all about emotional suppression in public. His head is lowered and slightly tilted, and his mouth is clamped in an indulgent looking expression.

"When he moves it is to look further downward in a cut-off as though possibly feeling embarrassed, then there is a small tongue-poke to suggest the same before he raises his gaze upwards with what looks like a quick wince of possible discomfort."

A royal expert has claimed that Prince Harry is "clinging on to his royal status" in California.

Tom Bower, who has written several unauthorised biographies on the rich and famous, said: "They have a crisis, Meghan wants to be a billionaire celebrity and Harry doesn't understand that world, other than [understanding that] Meghan wants to be famous. He's spent his whole life never having a penny in his pocket.

"He's never regularly travelled on the Tube, never had to worry about having a car or a job. So he doesn't understand where she's coming from, which is that she worked phenomenally hard, struggled hard, and was constantly humiliated, and wants the security of finance and status."

He added: "She hasn't got the status she craves, she hasn't got the pulling power. He's stuck in California clinging on to his royal status, as is she.

"Harry's thinking is of reconciliation. That's just totally unrealistic. There is zero chance of reconciliation because there is irreconcilable anger on the part of William and Kate."

Some former Palace staff have spoken out about what Meghan Markle was truly like behind the scenes.

As reported by the Daily Mail, one said: "It was extraordinary because she was so confident that you could see she wanted to run the meeting rather than learn about the Royal Family through the meeting.

"She was a great believer in grabbing the bull by the horns - except the Royal Family is not really a bull."

Another added: "Meghan thought she knew better than an institution that has been in business for 1,000 years and more."

Royal author Tom Bower has claimed that Prince William and Princess Kate's "irreconcilable anger" is blocking a reunion with Prince Harry.

He told the Mirror: "I've got a lot of new material already, and I think the whole world wants new insights.

"It's an amazing story, it's an eye-wateringly unique story because it's unprecedented. This is such a famous couple who are fighting [for themselves] all the time."

He added: "Harry's thinking is of reconciliation. That's just totally unrealistic.

"There is zero chance of reconciliation because there is irreconcilable anger on the part of William and Kate."

Meghan Markle was warned that if her latest business ventures fail to grab the attention of the American population, then she will be faced with a new "problem".

The Duchess of Sussex launched a series of business ventures this year, including her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, her lifestyle brand, As Ever - which currently only ships to the US and her podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder.

But despite her show climbing on Netflix's global Top 10 list as well as her podcast making it in the top 10 chart in all categories on Apple Podcasts, the reviews for her ventures have been mostly scathing.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charity has released a new statement following the latest reports that they have cut ties with a Muslim organisation after its founder made anti-Israel comments.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Archewell Foundation has pulled funding to Milwaukee-based Muslim Women’s Coalition (MMWC), with its founder, Janan Najeeb, saying it was due to an opinion piece she had authored about Palestine.

Archewell's executive directors James Holt and Shauna Nep issued a new statement saying the charity's funding and grant support extends to people and organisations of "all walks of life with varying political views, cultural beliefs, ideologies, and identifications".

They said: "We do not discriminate. We believe change comes from building bridges. We welcome all."

But they added that they do not "tolerate any form of hate speech, including hate-fueled symbols, language, or imagery—no matter the community it targets.

"Language that calls for the destruction of others, whether explicitly or implicitly, crosses a line. It is not aligned with our values: we are pro-humanity, pro-love, pro-peace, pro-equality."

King Charles has made sure to show his appreciation for the people who keep the royal households running, and a former royal butler has explained how a "sweet" gesture once led to a "disaster".

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, ex-butler Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles and Queen Camilla between 2004 and 2011, revealed that even though they're kept busy over Easter, the King's staff get treated to plenty of Easter chocolate.

Harrold said working over Easter "was great," because he "was given Easter eggs by The King and Queen." However, he also said it it came with one downside, adding, "it was a disaster for my weight."

With Easter just around the corner, families who celebrate will be making plans with their nearest and dearest for the occasion, including the Royal Family.

Each year, the royals gather to attend a special Easter Sunday service in St George’s Chapel on the Windsor Castle estate.

The family then enjoy a traditional lunch together, before taking part in a fun Easter egg hunt.

Although Prince Harry - who quit royal life with his wife Meghan Markle in 2020 - has not spoken much about what Easter was like with his royal relatives, one expert believes the duke will “keenly” feel for his children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, who do not take part in the tradition.
