<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/king-charles-iii-celebrates-late-mom-queen-elizabeth-ii-on-anniversary-of-her-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">King Charles</a> III has reportedly invited his younger son, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prince-harry-says-family-wasnt-there-for-him-when-mom-princess-diana-died" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Harry</a>, to his upcoming 75th birthday celebration — but the royal ex-pat won&#8217;t make the trip to the United Kingdom as their relationship reportedly remains strained, sources claim.
Insiders with knowledge of the situation told the <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/king-charles-relishes-global-role-but-still-wont-see-harry-79pm8zxvh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunday Times</a> that the Duke of Sussex will skip the king&#8217;s party at Clarence House in London on November 14 after he also reportedly declined Charles&#8217; offer in September to join him on the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth&#8217;s death.
Prince Harry has since disputed the claim he was invited to his father&#8217;s birthday and called out the Sunday Times for misreporting the story, a spokesperson for the royal told <a href="https://themessenger.com/entertainment/prince-harry-king-charles-75th-birthday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Messenger.</a>
The alleged royal snub comes after a report that Harry and his father still &#8220;don&#8217;t speak much,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12713685/prince-harry-king-charles-birthday-royal-family.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> noted. The strain in the relationship reportedly comes from the Prince&#8217;s tell-all memoir &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spare-Prince-Harry-Duke-Sussex/dp/0593593804" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spare</a>&#8221; and Charles&#8217; &#8220;disappointment&#8221; at Harry&#8217;s description of the Queen Camilla in the book as a &#8220;villain&#8221; and &#8220;dangerous.&#8221;
&#8220;I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar,&#8221; the royal wrote in the book.
The royal&#8217;s relationship with the entire family is reportedly struggling following the revelations in the documentary &#8220;Harry and Meghan&#8221; and his book in which he takes aim at his brother William, sister-in-law Kate Middleton and father.
&#8220;Communications between the King and Prince Harry remain pretty poor,&#8221; a source told <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Telegraph</a>. &#8220;They don&#8217;t speak much, if at all.&#8221;
Author Omid Scobee, who wrote &#8220;Finding Freedom&#8221; — a positive book about the royal couple stepping down from their senior roles — attacked the royal family in the promotional material for his new book &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Endgame-Inside-Family-Monarchys-Survival-ebook/dp/B0BPSX2X4Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Endgame: Inside The Royal Family and the Monarchy&#8217;s Fight For Survival</a>&#8221; due out Nov. 28.
The book is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Endgame-Inside-Family-Monarchys-Survival-ebook/dp/B0BPSX2X4Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described</a> as &#8220;a penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy – an unpopular king, a power-hungry heir to the throne, a queen willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image and a prince forced to start a new life after being betrayed by his own family.&#8221;
One source told the Daily Mail, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been told this is bad, very bad. It is unlikely that Royal aides will comment, but if there are charges of racism, they will, of course, be robustly rebutted.&#8221;
Relations between the Sussexes and the royal family have not been the best following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex&#8217;s initial decision to step down from their senior roles in January 2020. They eventually relocated to southern California, where they are raising their two kids, son Prince Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet.
Update: The original story has been updated to reflect a statement from Prince Harry&#8217;s spokesperson denying the Sunday Times report.

&#8220;In marking the first anniversary of Her late Majesty&#8217;s death and my Accession, we recall with great affection her long life, devoted service, and all she meant to so many of us,&#8221; Charles said in an audio message and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/king-charles-remembers-queen-elizabeths-long-life-devoted-service-message-year-since-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed note</a> on Balmoral Castle stationery.

The Queen&#8217;s funeral was held on September 19, 2022, at Westminster Abbey following a royal funeral procession of her flower-draped coffin from Balmoral to Westminster Hall where millions of mourners turned out to say goodbye.
King Charles immediately ascended the throne following his mother&#8217;s death, and the 74-year-old monarch&#8217;s official coronation took place in May at Westminster Abbey.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/royal-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson</a>, who is divorced from Prince Andrew, revealed the final words <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/queen-elizabeth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queen Elizabeth II</a> said to her before her passing in September 2022. 
Ferguson was discussing her battle with breast cancer during the August 30 episode of her <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-13-luck-chance-meetings-and-a-well-earned-break/id1687827196?i=1000626261204" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a>, “Tea Talks With the Duchess &amp; Sarah.”
The 63-year-old royal family member said fighting cancer has helped her “wake up” and embrace who she really is, regardless of outside opinions.
“It’s the last thing that the queen said to me: ‘Just be yourself, Sarah,&#8217;” Ferguson said. 
“And she saw it,” the Duchess of York continued. “She just got so annoyed when I wasn’t being myself. And that’s probably when I got into all the pickles. But now I am myself, and I’m just so lucky to be able to be myself.”
Ferguson was married to disgraced royal Prince Andrew from from 1986 to 1996 and shares daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie with him. Her relationship with the queen was complicated over the years, especially following the infamous “toe-sucking scandal” in 1992. That’s when paparazzi captured photos of the duchess canoodling on a boat with a business associate while on holiday in the South of France.
As Queen Elizabeth II abhorred negative publicity, she referred to this incident and others from that year as her &#8220;annus horribilis&#8221; (horrible year). 
It’s unclear when the queen allegedly made these remarks to Fergie, but a previous <a href="http://go.nypost.com/?id=93051X1547088&amp;isjs=1&amp;jv=15.4.2-stackpath&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fnypost.com%2F2023%2F08%2F31%2Fsarah-ferguson-reveals-queens-touching-final-words-to-her-before-death%2F&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetimes.co.uk%2Farticle%2Flunches-chats-and-laughter-her-last-weeks-were-full-of-fun-t0kc6h6k9&amp;xs=1&amp;xtz=240&amp;xuuid=bd449c80f508b12a5b95581dc8f3b648&amp;xcust=xid%3Afr1693570698132deh&amp;xjsf=other_click__contextmenu%20%5B2%5D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from the Times of London said the queen was in good spirits the weekend before her passing.

“It was a fantastic visit,” The Right Rev. Iain Greenshields said of dining with Her Majesty at Balmoral at the time. “Her memory was absolutely amazing, and she was really full of fun.”
“It came as a great shock to me when I heard she was gravely ill because she was in amazingly good form over the weekend … It was only a few days ago, I can’t believe it,” he continued.
Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 after a record-breaking reign of 70 years. It was the longest of any monarch in British history and longest verified reign of any female head of state in history.

During the 77-year-old country music singer&#8217;s recent appearance on Claudia Winkleman&#8217;s <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001ps6r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC Radio 2</a>, Parton talked about being in London to promote her new album &#8220;Rockstar&#8221; and bemoaned that she didn&#8217;t even have time to visit with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kate-middleton-cracks-joke-when-asked-if-she-would-be-performing-solo-at-christmas-concert" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Middleton</a>.
&#8220;This time, Lordy, I even got invited to have tea with Kate [Middleton],&#8221; the &#8220;9 to 5&#8221; star <a href="https://people.com/dolly-parton-playfully-turned-down-tea-with-kate-middleton-7962999" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during the interview. &#8220;And I felt so bad… I couldn&#8217;t even go! They had all this stuff set up.&#8221;

The &#8220;Jolene&#8221; hitmaker then joked that she turned down the invite because the Middleton &#8220;wasn&#8217;t going to promote my rock album so I had to say no. I hope she hears it, though.&#8221;

While she wasn&#8217;t able to visit with the members of the royal family on her recent trip, Parton has performed for the royal household, though the last time was more than 25 years ago,  <a href="https://people.com/dolly-parton-playfully-turned-down-tea-with-kate-middleton-7962999" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> noted.
She was one of the performers at the late Queen Elizabeth&#8217;s Silver Jubilee in 1977. During a recent interview, the singer-songwriter recalled how nervous she was to curtsy in front of the queen.
&#8220;Even though you have to do the protocol, you have to bow and all that, I could tell that she didn&#8217;t care about that,&#8221; Parton told <a href="https://www.insider.com/dolly-parton-on-meeting-queen-elizabeth-2023-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insider.</a> &#8220;That&#8217;s just something she had to do. And if somebody made a mistake, it was OK.&#8221;
&#8220;I was scared to death that I was not going to know how to curtsy, that I wasn&#8217;t going to bend right, but she was just very warm, very sweet, and I could tell she was a very giving person,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And just meeting the Queen of England, just to meet a queen, it was amazing.&#8221;
&#8220;Rockstar&#8221; will be released on Nov. 17 and features contributions from music legends like Ringo Starr, Stevie Nicks, Sting, Simon Le Bon, and many more.

King Charles III celebrated his highly-publicized coronation over the weekend and it was every bit as regal as advertised. The media provided non-stop coverage in the weeks leading up to the event, which was enough to have many American citizens wondering: but why do we care?
The United States of America fought a bloody war to free themselves from rule of the British crown. This fact inspires many critics to wonder why, exactly, we’re so obsessed with the British monarchy. There are several reasons for this, but Charles’ coronation highlighted one of the most prevalent. In short, Americans are desperately missing the pageantry of a formal ceremony.
Yes, the reigning monarch is a figurehead. And yes, Charles technically became king upon his mother, Queen Elizabeth II’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-queen-elizabeth-ii-dead-at-96" target="_blank" rel="noopener">death in September</a>. But there’s no denying the beauty of a solemn, symbolism-heavy ceremony that’s steeped in centuries of tradition. This is true regardless of anyone’s personal opinions about King Charles or his politics.
The king was crowned at Westminster Abbey, a visually stunning Gothic style church erected in the 11th century. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Anglican church’s most senior cleric, led the religious ceremony. Charles was the 40th monarch to be crowned there, following a long line of previous rulers starting with William the Conqueror on Christmas Day in 1066.

The royal family website described the coronation as a “solemn religious service” and a &#8220;ceremony marking the formal investiture of a monarch with regal power.”
&#8220;The coronation will reflect the monarch&#8217;s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry,&#8221; Buckingham Palace said in a statement earlier this year.
Since the late 14th century, coronations have followed the instructions laid out in the Liber Regalis or &#8220;royal book,&#8221; a medieval Latin manuscript that describes the order of service, per <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/king-charles-iii-coronation-plans/story?id=96848304" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>.
In an increasingly secularized society, many Americans never experience these types of culturally significant moments during church services and other religious occasions. Ancient rituals are often replaced with more modern ceremonies that bear no connection to the past. Just a glance at the unadorned lines of modern architecture compared to the intricate details of Westminster Abbey clearly highlight these changes.
This is one reason an event like a coronation, even in a foreign nation, is so oddly appealing for someone who isn’t personally affected by the crowning of kings and queens in the slightest.
Numerous historical artifacts were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-to-know-ahead-of-king-charles-iiis-coronation-ceremony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">incorporated</a> into the coronation ceremony, including King Edward’s Chair, which has been used in these types of ceremonies for 700 years. This artifact houses the Stone of Destiny, which was built around 1300 and used for centuries to crown Scottish kings.
Another special item used in the ceremony is a coronation cross which includes shards of wood from the cross that’s believed to have been used to crucify Jesus Christ.
The outfits worn by the royal family were all befitting of the important occasion. The monarch arrived at the ceremony dressed in the crimson velvet Robe of State, which was also worn by his grandfather King George VI at his 1937 coronation, per <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/florals-hats-robes-colours-tradition-king-charles-coronation-2023-05-06/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reuters</a>.
King Charles changed into ceremonial regalia worn before being crowned, slipping on the gold-silk full-length Supertunica coat and Coronation Sword Belt, and over that, the gold cloth Imperial Mantle, which was originally made for the coronation of George IV in 1821. This was the oldest vestment included in the service. Charles was crowned with the historic St. Edward&#8217;s Crown that has been used since the coronation of King Charles II in 1661.
<div id="attachment_547223" style="width: 854px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-547223" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-547223" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1252743656-844x576.jpg" alt="St. Edward's Crown" width="844" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1252743656-844x576.jpg 844w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1252743656-300x205.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1252743656-768x524.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1252743656-1536x1049.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1252743656-2048x1398.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px" />Photo by Phil Noble &#8211; WPA Pool/Getty Images</div>
The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Catherine, also wore formal robes and mantels over their outfits. Kate wore a visually stunning headpiece made of silver and crystal leaves. 
Charles was the longest-serving heir apparent in history, waiting over 70 years to be crowned king. Now he is reigning monarch but all eyes were on his oldest son, Prince William, who has become a favorite in the United Kingdom along with his wife Kate Middleton and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
George, who is 9, served as a page for his grandfather during the ceremony. This made him the youngest future king to play an official role in a crowning ceremony. King Charles and George’s great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth both attended their parents&#8217; coronations in 1953 and 1937 when they were children, but were only invited to watch the service and didn’t participate.
<div id="attachment_547231" style="width: 853px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-547231" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-547231" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1488336881-843x576.jpg" alt="Their Majesties King Charles III And Queen Camilla - Coronation Day" width="843" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1488336881-843x576.jpg 843w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1488336881-300x205.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1488336881-768x525.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1488336881-1536x1050.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/GettyImages-1488336881-2048x1400.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px" />Photo by Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images</div>
It’s true that King Charles is more progressive than his mother Queen Elizabeth, with a specific emphasis on environmentalism and climate activism. But for all his ideologies, Charles is still firmly rooted in tradition.
Prince William mentioned this during his speech at the coronation concert on Sunday.
“As my grandmother said, when she was crowned, coronations are a declaration of our hopes for the future, and I know she’s up there fondly keeping an eye on us, and she’d be a very proud mother,” the Prince of Wales said.
“My father’s first words, on entering Westminster Abbey yesterday, were a pledge of service,” he continued.
“It was a pledge to continue to serve, because for over 50 years, in every corner of the UK, across the Commonwealth, and around the world, he has dedicated himself to serve others, both current and future generations, and those whose memory must not be neglected,” William said.
As an increasingly noisy faction of Americans seek to tear down institutions and subvert tradition at every turn, seeing the beauty and tradition of King Charles’ coronation reminds them of why human beings are naturally drawn to beauty, truth, and tradition.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-andrew">Prince Andrew</a> will allegedly no longer have access to an apartment and offices at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/royal-family">Buckingham Palace</a> per orders of King Charles III.
The 62-year-old royal was apparently turned out by his older brother <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-charles">Charles</a> following the death of their mother, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/queen-elizabeth">Queen Elizabeth II</a>. Andrew had already been stripped of his official duties in the wake of a scandal in 2019, but up until now had retained access to the palace. Now, reports say he’s been kicked out of the royal enclave, too.
The Duke of York made headlines several years ago following the revelation of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew was also accused of engaging in sexual activities with a then-17-year-old girl named Virginia Giuffre. The royal settled a civil suit out of court.
Though he denied wrongdoing, Andrew resigned from public roles in May 2020. The former working royal also had his honorary military affiliations and royal charitable patronages stripped by Queen Elizabeth II in January 2022.
Prince Andrew’s eviction is notable, but Entertainment Tonight <a href="https://www.etonline.com/king-charles-iii-removes-prince-andrews-access-to-former-apartment-and-office-at-buckingham-palace">pointed out</a> that the royal had not been using the apartment as his primary residence for some time. Instead, he’s been living with ex-wife Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson at the Royal Lodge at Windsor. For now, he still appears to have access to that property.
Queen Elizabeth was known for despising scandal and royal family drama. However, she always had a soft spot for Andrew, and royal insiders were surprised at how close the two remained even after the sex scandal plagued the British royal. 
&#8220;[The queen] saw Andrew very, very regularly right up until her death,&#8221; Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent Katie Nicholl <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/queen-elizabeth-remained-incredibly-close-prince-andrew-right-until-death">told</a> Fox News Digital shortly after Elizabeth’s death in September 2022. &#8220;They remained incredibly close, and she was very protective of him.&#8221;
Nicholl went on to explain how she delved into claims that Andrew was the queen’s “favorite son” while researching for a book about the royals. 
&#8220;She asked him about the Epstein allegations and about his relationship with Virginia Giuffre. They had a very honest conversation, and Andrew assured her that he was innocent of those allegations. She believed him. This was her son after all. And she didn’t just believe him. She stood by him,&#8221; Nicholl said.

Death

King Charles III <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/news/6982112/king-charles-throws-prince-andrew-out/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> evicted the disgraced Duke of York Prince Andrew from using an office at Buckingham Palace in the wake of his ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The 62-year-old Duke reportedly paid millions of dollars in an out-court settlement after Virginia Giuffre accused the Royal Family member of sexually abusing and raping her on three separate occasions in 2001 when she was 17.
Although Prince Andrew has denied any wrongdoing, the King has allegedly barred his sibling from working out of the Palace or using it as a corresponding address.
“Any presence at the palace is officially over,” a source told The Sun. “The King has made it clear. He isn’t a working royal. He’s on his own.”
The eviction comes after Queen Consort Camilla took over the Duke’s role as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards last week.
The Royal Household officials also stripped the Prince of his $3.5 million, 24-hour armed security last month after officials said they would no longer fund the service for the disgraced family member.
Former Home Office minister Norman Baker said last week that “armed protection has always been a status symbol for the likes of Prince Andrew.”
“Of course, he should pay it himself and not burden the taxpayer because he is a private individual and carries out no public duties,” Baker said, as <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11570663/King-Charles-finally-evicted-Prince-Andrew-Buckingham-Palace-Epstein-scandal.html">reported</a> by the Daily Mail.
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/king-charles-iii-set-to-axe-prince-andrew-and-prince-harry-as-official-stand-ins-for-the-crown-report">reported</a> last month that the King could soon move to exclude Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Harry from acting as official stand-ins if he should be “incapacitated.”
The Regency Act of 1937 allows a monarch’s spouse and the next four in line for the throne to be called up to act as “Councillors of State” — appearing on behalf of the King or Queen to conduct official business.
Buckingham Palace announced earlier this year that Prince Andrew’s military titles and royal patronages had been returned to the Queen after the royal failed in his last-ditch effort to have the civil case thrown out.
The Duke said in a statement at the time of the civil lawsuit that damaged his reputation he “regrets his association” with Epstein and had agreed to make a “substantial donation” to Giuffre’s charity.
Prince Andrew surprisingly joined his family for the Christmas service at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham, Norfolk, after pictures surfaced of the Duke walking behind the senior-most royals, including his brother King Charles III and the queen consort, Camilla, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/prince-andrew-surprisingly-attends-christmas-service-king-charles-iii-prince-william">reported</a>.
Buckingham Palace has declined to comment to media outlets.

King Charles ‘Evicts’ Prince Andrew From Buckingham Palace

Disgraced Prince Andrew Evicted From Buckingham Palace 

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/royal-family">Buckingham Palace</a> official has resigned after she allegedly asked a black guest where she “really came from.”
The late <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/queen-elizabeth">Queen Elizabeth</a> II’s lady-in-waiting, Susan Hussey, made the remarks during an event that took place at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, per the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63810468">BBC</a>. The publication noted that she asked the background question of charity founder Ngozi Fulani. 
Fulani said she was &#8220;totally stunned&#8221; by Hussey’s comments. The 83-year-old former royal official is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-william">Prince William</a>’s godmother.
A spokesperson for Prince William said &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/racism">racism</a> has no place in our society&#8221; and called the comments “unacceptable,” saying that “it is right that the individual has stepped aside with immediate effect.&#8221;
Eyewitness Mandu Reid, who is leader of the Women’s Equality Party, told BBC News that she found the comments by Hussey to be &#8220;offensive, racist and unwelcoming.&#8221; She also recalled having a &#8220;sense of incredulity&#8221; upon hearing the question.
&#8220;We take this incident extremely seriously and have investigated immediately to establish the full details,” Buckingham Palace shared in a statement.
&#8220;In this instance, unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments have been made. We have reached out to Ngozi Fulani on this matter, and are inviting her to discuss all elements of her experience in person if she wishes,” the statement continued.
&#8220;In the meantime, the individual concerned would like to express her profound apologies for the hurt caused and has stepped aside from her honorary role with immediate effect. All members of the household are being reminded of the diversity and inclusivity policies which they are required to uphold at all times.&#8221;
Fulani was attending the reception at Buckingham Palace as a representative of London-based charity Sistah Space, which supports African and Caribbean women who have experienced domestic and sexual abuse, the publication noted.
This isn’t the first time the royal family and employees have been accused of racist behavior. Former senior working royal Meghan Markle, who is half black, claimed during an interview with Oprah Winfrey that a royal family member had questioned what skin tone her children would have. 
Markle said that individual expressed “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meghan-markle-claims-british-press-called-her-child-the-n-word">concerns</a>” over her son Archie’s skin tone and “how dark the baby’s going to be potentially and what that would mean or look like.” 
Prince Harry corroborated his wife’s story but refused to identify which person made the statements. “That conversation I’m never going to share,” Harry said.

Megyn Kelly absolutely destroyed Kim Kardashian as she explained why she thinks the reality TV star got booed Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams game when she appeared on the Jumbotron in Inglewood, CA.
During the Sirius XM &#8220;The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXL8N_70LxA">podcast</a>, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly">host</a> spoke with political commentator Andrew Sullivan about his <a href="https://andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/an-icon-not-an-idol-71f">piece</a> on the late-Queen Elizabeth II&#8217;s passing. She said his piece dealt with how narcissism is everywhere as the two talked about the realization that we used to revere people like her and not a &#8220;false God&#8221; like Kardashian.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/screw-her-megyn-kelly-blasts-olivia-wildes-attack-on-jordan-peterson-says-metoo-was-never-meant-to-bastardize-men">Kelly</a> said at heart, she doesn&#8217;t think the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kim-kardashian">Kardashian</a> &#8220;is a bad person,&#8221; but added that she hates what Kim &#8220;stands for, what she represents&#8230;&#8221;

&#8220;So, I believe the reason they booed Kim Kardashian is because the country&#8217;s getting sick of narcissistic, vain, self-promotional, &#8216;rules do not apply to me&#8217; type of people, like her, like Meghan Markle,&#8221; Kelly shared.
&#8220;And I do think one of the reasons it&#8217;s in the ether is because the death of the Queen and the reminder of what used to be, what once was, what we used to once revere versus this false god of money, and materialism, and selfie culture, and weird decisions on extreme plastic surgery that one refuses to acknowledge infecting it into the bloodstream of our little ones and so on,&#8221; she added.
She threw it to Sullivan for his thoughts — and he said he wasn&#8217;t sure he wanted to add to Kelly&#8217;s comments, adding, &#8220;have you seen the latest photographs of Madonna?&#8221;
He admitted he loved the superstar singer back in the day, but said that appeared the star had &#8220;become addicted to youth and fame.&#8221; He said that there are methods in which &#8220;you can kind of look younger,&#8221; noting that Madonna&#8217;s face is now more a mask than a face.
Later, the former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/take-your-fetish-behind-a-closed-door-megyn-kelly-blows-up-at-canadian-school-for-allowing-trans-shop-teacher-with-enormous-breasts-prosthetics">Fox News host</a> talked about Meghan Markle&#8217;s upcoming Variety cover — which Markle reportedly complained was &#8220;racist&#8221; because a message on the cover under her image read, &#8220;She&#8217;s just wild about Harry!&#8221; a throwback to an old song, per author <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/meghan-markle-accused-vanity-fair-165454184.html">Valentine Low</a> in his new book &#8220;Courtiers.&#8221; It can be seen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkcCjd6E6mQ&amp;t=2s">here</a>.

&#8220;Anyways, everything is either racist, sexist, or wrong when it comes to Meghan Markle, despite all of the enormous gifts that have been given to her …&#8221; Kelly shared. &#8220;It&#8217;s back to my comment about the Kim Kardashian boos — I am cheering the downfall of this woman&#8217;s approval ratings. I&#8217;m cheering the authors who are bringing these stories out, so that people can see how petty and shallow, and small these people are.&#8221;

Royal family members said they are &#8220;saddened and in shock&#8221; after Queen Margrethe II of Denmark announced she was removing the royal titles of several grandchildren because it&#8217;s best for their future.
In a <a href="https://www.kongehuset.dk/en/news/changes-in-titles-and-forms-of-address-in-the-royal-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> from the Royal House of Denmark, the 82-year-old monarch announced that four of her eight grandchildren will no longer be identified by their royal titles, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/09/29/denmarks-queen-margrethe-strips-grandchildren-of-prince-and-princess-titles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported.
The grandchildren will be identified as &#8220;His Excellency Count of Monpezat&#8221; or &#8220;Her Excellency Countess of Monpezat&#8221; starting on January 1, 2023, the outlet noted.
All four of Prince Joachim&#8217;s children: Nikolai, 23, Felix, 20, Henrik, 13, and Athena, 10, will maintain their places in order of succession. Joachim is currently the sixth in line to the throne.
Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg — the mother of Prince Nikolai and Prince Feliz made it clear she was &#8220;confused&#8221; by the move.
&#8220;We are saddened and in shock,&#8221; Prince Joachim&#8217;s ex-wife shared in a statement from her press advisor Helle von Wildenrath Løvgreen, according to Danish magazine <a href="https://www.seoghoer.dk/kongelige/prins-joachim-prinsesse-marie-og-grevinde-alexandra-boernene-foeler-sig-udstoedt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Se og Hør</a>.
&#8220;This comes like a bolt from the blue,&#8221; she added. &#8220;The children feel ostracized. They cannot understand why their identity is being taken away from them.&#8221;
Margrethe, who is now the longest-reigning monarch after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/without-any-hesitation-we-booked-the-trains-to-be-here-thousands-fill-london-streets-to-pay-final-respects-to-the-queen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queen Elizabeth II&#8217;s death</a>, defended the move and said, &#8220;It is a consideration I have had for quite a long time and I think it will be good for them in their future. That is the reason,&#8221; <a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/20220928152771/queen-margarethe-denmark-breaks-silence-stripping-royal-grandchildren-titles/?utm_medium=social_media&amp;campaign=hellouk&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1664396218" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hello! magazine</a> noted.

Denmark&#39;s Queen Margrethe II strips four grandchildren of royal titles <a href="https://t.co/U2uraLV78Z">https://t.co/U2uraLV78Z</a>

In the statement from the Denmark royal household, it said that Her Majesty The Queen in 2018 &#8220;bestowed upon her sons, their spouses and their descendants the titles of count and countess of Monpezat.&#8221;
“In May 2016, it was also announced that His Royal Highness Prince Christian, as the only one of The Queen’s grandchildren, is expected to receive an annuity from the state as an adult,&#8221; the message on the website read. &#8220;As a natural extension of this, Her Majesty has decided that, as of 1 January 2023, His Royal Highness Prince Joachim&#8217;s descendants can only use their titles as counts and countess of Monpezat, as the titles of prince and princess that they have held up until now will be discontinued.&#8221;
&#8220;Prince Joachim&#8217;s descendants will thus have to be addressed as excellencies in the future,&#8221; the statement added. &#8220;The Queen’s decision is in line with similar adjustments that other royal houses have made in various ways in recent years.&#8221;
The statement concluded with a message that the queen&#8217;s move is in hopes that this will &#8220;create the framework for the four grandchildren to be able to shape their own lives to a much greater extent without being limited by the special considerations and duties that a formal affiliation with the Royal House of Denmark as an institution involves.&#8221;
It is unclear from the report if the queen&#8217;s decision had any connection to the drama involving two of Queen Elizabeth II’s grandchildren Prince Harry and Prince William, their spouses Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and their children.
