Royal news – live: Harry to skip Hugh Grosvenor wedding to avoid William as he celebrates with Meghan in LA

King Charles will reportedly ride in a carriage at this year’s Trooping the Colour and not on horseback as is tradition, it has been reported.

This comes amid a tumultuous year for the Monarch, 75, who was diagnosed with cancer following a routine procedure to treat an enlarged prostate.

A source told The Telegraph that a carriage will be the “most likely” option to avoid any risk to the King’s health, as he is still battling the disease.

The event will take place on 15 June, the King’s official birthday.

Lady Amelia Windsor has attended the Chelsea Flower Show today ahead of its public opening tomorrow.

The royal, 28, is participating in this year’s event with a wildflower pot. She is 43rd in line to the British throne.

“So excited and honoured to be a very small part of the team for Kent Wildflower Seeds’s first garden at the Chelsea Flower Show,” she wrote on Instagram.

She is not the only member of the family in attendance today, and King Charles and Queen Camilla are also set to make an apperance alongside the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

Kate Middleton has shared her first project update since stepping back from her duties in January to work on her health.

Taking to Twitter (X), the Princess of Wales, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, shared a video showcasing the challenges British farmers can face with their mental health.

The Kensington Royal account, which represents Kate and Prince William, wrote: “This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we’ve brought together the inspirational Sam Stables from We Are Farming Minds and the brilliant Farmer Will for a very special film.

“Spending a day together on Sam’s farm in Hereford they chatted about mental health in the farming community, finding support and the Duchy of Cornwall’s Mental Health Strategy.”

The full film is available to watch on YouTube.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted celebrating with friends at a Los Angeles steakhouse on their anniversary weekend.

The couple, who recently returned to the US from an unofficial tour of Nigeria, married six years ago on 19 May at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

According to reports, they were seen out on Saturday with their friends Brian and Tracey Robbins at Lucky’s in Montecito.

The restaurant features a range of dishes which vary in price up to $175 for a porterhouse steak and a staggering $1,402 for a bottle of wine.

Harry and Meghan have seemingly struck up a close friendship with the Paramount CEO and his designer wife in recent years and the foursome even travelled to Jamaica in January for the premier of the Bob Marley biopic One Love.

King Charles officially has a higher net worth than his later mother Queen Elizabeth, the 2024 Sunday Times Rich List has revealed.

The current Monarch is worth £610 million, which is significantly more than the £370 million the Queen had in 2022 before her death.

The King’s wealth can, in part, be credited to his mother though as she left him an investment portfolio worth almost £120 million.

Don McLean has hit out at Prince Harry for his less-than-flattering description of Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate in his memoir Spare.

The American musician, 78, told the Daily Mail that the sixth in line to the throne, 39, should not “criticise America when you’re living here as our guest.”

In the 2023 memoir, which details Harry’s life in the royal family, he describes the mansion once occupied by the King of Rock and Roll as “dark” and “claustrophobic.”

“I walked around saying ‘the King lived here, you say? Really?’” Harry wrote. “I stood in one tiny room with loud furniture and shag carpet and thought ‘the King’s interior designer must’ve been on acid.’”

Anne Robinson has confirmed that she is in a relationship with Queen Camilla’s ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles.

The TV host, 79, who is best known for her role on The Weakest Link, made the revelation bluntly last week after rumours began to circulate that she and Parker Bowles, 84, were an item.

When asked if they were dating, she told Saga magazine: “Yes. Full stop. Mind your own business.”

Parker Bowles was previously married to the now-Queen between 1973 and 1995 and the pair share two children together.

King Charles is set to visit the Chelsea Flower Show today (20 May) ahead of its opening tomorrow.

The Monarch, 75, alongside the Queen Consort will visit the Royal Horticultural Society’s “no adults allowed” garden.

Co-designed by schoolchildren, the garden was created to highlight how important nature is for children and any adults who visit the exhibit must pledge to plant a tree.

The garden, unlike other exhibits, is not being judged.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle yesterday celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary.

The sixth in line to the throne, 39, tied the knot with the former actress, 42, on 19 May, 2018 at a lavish ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

Citing press intrusion and a desire to live a more independent life, the couple later stepped down as working royals in 2020 and moved to California.

The anniversary of the event was not acknowledged by any official royal social media accounts.

This follows increased tensions between the couple and the royal family, which most recently saw Prince Harry snubbed twice on his recent visit to the UK.

The first snub came in the form of his father refusing to meet him on his brief trip to his home country and the second came when it was announced that Prince William was soon to be made the colonel-in-chief of his old military regiment, the Army Air Corps.

The artist behind the new portrait of King Charles has revealed why it is so red.

Jonathan Yeo’s painting of the Monarch received a mixed reaction from online commentators after it was unveiled last Tuesday (14 May), with some claiming that the red background made it look like the King was “in Hell.”

The King’s face is the only part of the portrait that is depicted in what would be considered a lifelike fashion and the rest of the image, including his red Welsh Guards uniform, is painted against a red backdrop.

“No matter what you do with a picture, no matter how obvious you think the story you’re telling is, someone’s going to read something else into it,” the artist told The Sunday Times.

“I thought the red will really distract [from the red in the uniform],” Yeo explained.

“That may also have had psychological backing, because I had a heart attack [in March 2023] when I was painting this,” he says. “But certainly none of that I was conscious of – it was just: I like this colour.”
