Royal news – live: Harry shares fears Meghan could be attacked with ‘knife or acid’

“All it takes is one lone actor, one person who read this stuff, to act on what they have read, and whether that is a knife or acid… they are genuine concerns for me, they are one of the reasons I won’t bring my wife back to this country,” he said.

Glamorous, competitive, and packed with history, the Olympic Games remains the most prestigious of events in the world of sport. So, it should come as no surprise that a number of royals have competed in the tournament throughout the years.

An Olympic medal remains the most prestigious – and among the most illusive – achievements in the sporting world with each country only sending their very best to compete on the world stage.

Several times, this has included members of the British, Monégasque, Jordanian, Spanish and Emirate royal families.

The Duke of Sussex appeared to be flustered when he was asked about the cancer battles both his father King Charles and sister-in-law Kate are going through.

In ITV’s new documentary Tabloids on Trial, which aired on Thursday, presenter Rebecca Barry asked the prince: “Both your father and your sister-in-law have been unwell.

“It’s a reminder, I guess, to all of us that life is precious.

“Does it ever just make you think, ‘This is not worth it. Life is just too short for these legal battles’?”

Prince Harry, appeared shocked by the question, he replied: “Erm, I don’t think the legal, the continuation of these legal battles is the sort of, I…

“The two things are completely separate.

“Erm, you know, my father and my sister-in-law, and me, you know, following through on these legal battles are two completely different things.”

The late Queen reportedly felt increasingly isolated in the months before her death due to the loss of several close friends and her husband Prince Philip, a royal biographer has said.

Robert Jobson claimed that she had begun to invite former members of staff to visit her, with one aide revealing: “She told me she didn’t know anybody [her staff and servants] anymore.”

In her final months, she came to enjoy regular visits and phone calls with her grandson Prince William, who had recently moved to Adelaide Cottage near Windsor Castle.

One aide said: “Prince William knew his time with his grandmother was precious and he is delighted they, as a couple, made that decision.”

It has been a difficult year for the royal family, with both Charles and Kate having to step back from public-facing duties as they continue treatment.

The pair supported each other through the difficult news but have also had plenty of support from outside palace walls, having received a staggering 27,000 written messages wishing them good health.

Personal letters from Princess Diana to her family’s former housekeeper have revealed an insight into Prince William and Harry’s childhood relationship.

Diana sent the previously unseen notes to Violet Collison, who she affectionately called Collie, the head housekeeper at Park House on Sandringham Estate where Diana spent her childhood years.

In one of the letters, she wrote: ““William adores his little brother and spends the entire time pouring an endless supply of hugs and kisses over Harry.”

“Anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press,” he admitted.

“The future for the Sussexes is pretty grim… I think they’re on a permanent decline,” he told The Sun.

Bower then suggested that the couple, who have given several tell-all interviews, could “drop another bomb”.

“But whenever they need money, whenever they need publicity to stoke their reputation, they will drop another bomb,” he claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s relationship with the royal family appears to have soured after they stepped down as working royals in 2020, citing press intrusion and a desire to live a more independent life.

While there have been reports that the women remain allies to the Sussexes, they have reportedly now distanced themselves from the couple, who stepped down as working royals in 2020.

“Beatrice and Eugenie have firmly pledged their allegiance to the royal family,” an insider told Bella magazine.

“They haven’t communicated with the Sussexes for quite a while. They are nowhere near as close as they once were.”

Palace officials have revealed that the £86.3m given to the family in the year 2024 to 2025 will increase to £132m.

The increased profits from the estate have been credited to the creation of new offshore wind farms.

A palace spokesperson said that royal spending will be reviewed again to ensure it is kept at an “appropriate” level.
