Prince Harry likely ‘feels more spare than ever’ in the wake of Kate’s public cancer announcement, a royal author has said.
The Princess of Wales revealed her diagnosis to the world on 22 March, however it is understood neither Harry nor Meghan were told of the announcement ahead of time, laying bare the extent of the royal rift.
Shortly after Kate’s brave video message was broadcast, the Sussexes shared a message of support to their in-laws and reportedly reached out in private.
Royal author Dr Tessa Dunlop told the Mirror: “Harry is the self-identifying royal ‘Spare’. And in the wake of his sister-in-law’s health revelations, I expect he feels more spare than ever.”
Amid concerns of a growing rift, there is speculation Harry will visit his brother William when he returns to the UK this May to host an event for the Invictus games.
Dr Dunlop said she felt compassion for the couple, who left their royal duties in exchange for a life in California in 2020.
She added: “No, they don’t have cancer, and yes, they have been publicly critical of the British Royal Family. But in our own families, how many of us hold back our feelings on the off-chance a sibling or sister-in-law might get sick?”

King Charles will open Balmoral to the public for the first time in history
The King’s Scottish residence will open for the first time this summer for members of the public to explore the royal rooms at Balmoral.
Experienced guides will take small groups around several rooms used by Charles and Queen Camilla, as part of his desire to make the royal residences more accessible to the public.
One source noted that Balmoral has not been built to accommodate large-scale tour guides, unlike other tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
The month-long summer programme is expected to be a trial period, with estate staff taking note of the impact increased footfall has on the historic building, which was bought by Queen Victoria in 1852.
The public will now be able to access the green drawing room where the late Queen Elizabeth II met Liz Truss, the family dining room, the library and the pages’ lobby.

Prince Harry will ‘have some explaining to do’ if he doesn’t return to UK, expert says
Harry is scheduled to return to the UK next month but if plans fall through ‘he will have some explaining to do’, claims a royal expert.
The Duke of Sussex is set to arrive from California to speak at a special service for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral next month.
Royal expert, Tom Quinn, said it is likely Harry will stick to schedule and return to home soil to avoid speculation he is avoiding his brother out of awkwardness.
He told the Mirror: “Barring a major upset, Harry will certainly return to the UK for the Invictus games in May – it’s his baby.
“If he decides not to come, it will take some explaining, because everyone will assume it’s because he doesn’t want the awkwardness of having to meet his brother or having to choose not to meet him.”

Andy Cohen apologises for spreading Kate Middleton conspiracy theories
In a video released on 22 March, the Princess of Wales revealed that she had been undergoing chemotherapy in the wake of major abdominal surgery in January. Following the operation, cancer cells were found in subsequent tests.
At the time, Kate’s condition was not disclosed to the public, and the release of a photoshopped image of the princess and her children exacerbated the spread of conspiracy theories speculating on the reason behind her low profile.

King Charles has changed lifetime habit at the request of Camilla, says royal biographer
The King has been known to have an unusual eating habit whereby he skipped lunch every day.
However, according to royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith, Charles has changed the habit of a lifetime as he undergoes cancer treatment,
Sally Bedell Smith wrote in her newsletter Royal Extra: “Queen Camilla has been doing double duty, representing the King at engagements around Britain and tending to his comfort at home. Not unlike Queen Mary, she keeps a close watch on her husband and knows how to hold the line when necessary.
“After decades of skipping midday meals to squeeze more work into his busy days, I am told that King Charles III is now eating lunch.”

I’ve spent years trying to unravel boarding school damage
It is well known that British boarding schools are favoured by the aristocracy and deemed to confer social advantage on their alumni.
It is also widely acknowledged that some have historically fostered a tradition of brutality and emotional deprivation among their pupils, with long-lasting effects.
One only needs to look at the beatings, humiliation and loss of self-worth suffered by the victims of Edinburgh Academy teacher John Brownlee that emerged this week to see how harrowing and life-changing an experience it can be.

As a teacher from the Edinburgh Academy is convicted of “cruel and unnatural acts”, psychotherapist Joy Schaverien reflects on the devastating consequences for pupils who can suffer from ‘boarding school syndrome’ all their adult lives
