Prince Harry’s claim in his new book that he killed 25 Taliban fighters during his military service in Afghanistan is drawing extensive pushback from veterans, who say publishing a head count is violating an unspoken code and could jeopardize security for the British forces as well as himself. Retired British Army Col. Tim Collins, who led troops in battle during the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, was harshly critical of the claim. “This is not how we behave in the army. It’s not how we think,” Col. Collins said in an interview with the Forces News British military news organizations....

Prince Harry has expressed doubt over the official account of how his mother, Princess Diana, died in a car crash. "There's a lot of things that are unexplained," he said in an ITV interview about his memoir, Spare. Prince Harry said he had been left with a "post-traumatic stress injury" after his mother's death in 1997 and had struggled to accept she had died. He also spoke of wanting to reconnect with his family, but blamed the UK press for creating "conflict". Harry spoke of the emotional impact of the death of his mother and in his book describes returning...

Prince Harry sensationally puts some of the blame for his Nazi uniform scandal on his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, in his new memoir, sources tell Page Six. The Duke of Sussex will claim the Prince and Princess of Wales “howled with laughter” when they saw him dressed up for the 2005 party. Harry was 20 years old when the Sun newspaper published a front-page photo of him dressed as a Nazi soldier with a red armband emblazoned with a big swastika. The picture was taken at a costume party with a “Native and Colonial” theme, where William...

Prince Harry has claimed his brother William grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the floor during a heated argument over his wife Meghan Markle. In an extraordinary excerpt from his upcoming autobiography Spare, Harry recalls what he describes as a physical attack by his sibling, now the Prince of Wales, which he claims left him with visible injuries. The furious row allegedly broke out at his London home in 2019, during which William is said to have branded Meghan 'difficult', 'rude' and 'abrasive'. Harry accused his brother of 'parroting the press narrative' about his wife before a...

Britain's Prince Harry said his troubled relationship with the Royal Family "never needed to be this way" and he wants to get his father King Charles and his brother "back," in an excerpt from an interview with U.K. broadcaster ITV released on Monday. "It never needed to be this way," he said in the clip. "They've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile," he said. "I would like to get my father back; I would like to have my brother back." Harry and his wife Meghan, officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, stepped down from royal duties in...

They are making a royal fuss about it. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle demanded Saturday to have a royal summit with the entire British royal family and push for an apology regarding the alleged treatment at their hands, reports the Sunday Times. Following their Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan” — which dropped numerous bombshells — the former royals said they want to “sit down with the royal family” and address their grievances. “Nothing like that was ever done when Harry and Meghan raised various concerns — no meeting, formal apology or taking responsibility or accountability,” a source close to the...

Every nation gets the royal family it deserves. Americans once had Hollywood royalty, but Hollywood has decayed into virtue-signaling and television streaming. Meghan and Harry are pretenders to the throne of American royalty for the 21st century. A second-rate actress and a spare-part prince are parodying a European past for a fanbase that cannot remember it. They are speaking their truth even though parts of it are demonstrably false. Americans must have done something terrible to deserve these two. The Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan is not so much a documentary as it is a six-hour Instagram post. It purports...

Never forget: Meghan Markle is the second coming of Nelson Mandela. Albeit in a custom-made Louis Vuitton gown (one that pettily mimicked Kate Middleton's Earthshot look), a $90,000 aquamarine ring, and a stubborn cluster of grievances and flimsy claims of racism that she will never, ever tire of recounting. Last night's RFK Human Rights ceremony had it all: A outspoken liberal host who accidentally shot and killed his co-worker, a young wife and mother, and has since claimed zero guilt; our host's wife, a talent-free, stage-five clinger and fame-adjacent fraud who still claims to be Spanish, despite being outed as...

The conditions are right for confession. It is a beautiful August day in Montecito, in a beautiful sitting room, in a beautiful home. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, a lively 3-year-old with a shock of ginger curls identical to his father’s, toddles into the room demanding “Momma” listen to his heartbeat with a wooden toy stethoscope. He stands, tummy protruding, while his mother, Meghan, convincingly performs her glee at hearing the thump-thump, thump-thump in his chest. Archie giggles and, satisfied, toddles right back out again. Meghan, relaxing in a cozy chair, gazes over all that is climate-controlled and high-ceilinged and sun-dappled and...

“We now honor my father in his new role as King Charles III,” said Prince Harry in a statement paying tribute to his late, great grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Twelve short words, but ones that carry enormous significance coming from the man who has spent the past two years publicly dishonoring his father. A week ago, I was told by someone very close to Charles that he was “deeply hurt and utterly bemused” by his younger son’s behavior toward him. In a series of bitter, angry attacks since quitting the royal family and Britain, Harry has accused his father of...

The death of the Queen means that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, is now technically a prince – a title that his mother, Meghan, had suggested was denied to him because of his race. His younger sister, Lilibet “Lili” Mountbatten-Windsor, is also entitled to be a princess after the death and the accession of her grandfather, the Prince of Wales, to the throne.

After a fresh humiliation by booing crowds at the Queen’s jubilee, here comes another blow to the Duke and Duchess of Woke. “Revenge,” the much-anticipated book by British investigative reporter Tom Bower, may not offer much new information, but it shines as a deep dive into their psyches. The folie á deux on display here is worthy of a Highsmith novel: Two very broken people stoking each other’s rage, grievances and delusions of grandeur, believing in their unstoppable rise even as they fall ever downward. What other modern-day couple would wear their expulsion from the British royal family so dementedly,...

It's fitting the United Nations was the setting for this spectacle. Only in the headquarters of the world's most useless institution could a semi-disowned member of the British Royal Family deliver a tone-deaf address about abortion rights. Is Prince Harry bored? He must be because of everything to make a stink about—he decides to weigh in on the abortion wars. Meghan Markle's fingerprints are all over this fiasco. Also, International Nelson Mandela Day is probably not the best day to discuss abortion. What the hell is this? Are they starving for attention (via Fox News):

Prince Harry has waded into US politics again in his keynote speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, blasting the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle arrived hand in hand ahead of his speech to delegates on climate change and poverty during the two hour meeting. The 37-year-old attacked American politics during his keynote speech at the United Nations event in New York City today. During his speech he said: 'The few weaponizing lies and disinformation at the expense of the many. 'And from the horrific war in Ukraine to...

On Thursday, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, paid tribute to the victims of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, by visiting a memorial near the site of the deadly shooting. The Duchess was captured by photographers placing a bouquet of roses at a small memorial set up by local residents just outside the Uvalde County Courthouse. The memorial is not far from the scene of one of the deadliest school shootings in more than a decade. She also dropped into a community center nearby that was hosting a blood drive for the victims still recovering from injuries that resulted...

Meghan Markle, the British Duchess of Sussex who now lives in California, has paid tribute to the victims of a school shooting in Texas by visiting a memorial near the site of the massacre. Markle was spotted on Thursday laying a bouquet of white roses at a makeshift memorial outside Uvalde County Courthouse, not far from the scene of the senseless slayings at Robb Elementary School. On Tuesday, gunman Salvador Rolando Ramos, 18, perpetrated the deadliest school shooting in nearly a decade, killing 19 small children and two teachers before being shot dead by police. Paying her respects in Texas,...

Prince Harry signed on as the chief impact officer of BetterUp last spring, promising to help promote the startup’s mission of “mental fitness” and its army of more than 2,000 professional coaches. It’s likely a lucrative gig for the British royal: BetterUp raised $300 million at a $4.7 billion valuation in October. But just six months later, an uprising has been brewing among the company’s career coaches following BetterUp’s recent announcement that it would modify their contracts—resulting in what those mentors said was effectively a sneaky pay cut—according to six coaches who spoke with The Daily Beast. “There’s so many...

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, have visited Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle on their first joint visit to the U.K. since they gave up formal royal roles and moved to the U.S. more than two years ago. The couple's office says they visited the 95-year-old Queen, Harry's grandmother, Thursday on their way to the Netherlands to attend the Invictus Games. Harry is a founder and patron of the international sports competition for wounded military veterans. Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals and moved to North America in 2020, citing the unbearable pressure of their roles and...

Offshore trust bought $18M oceanfront estate, known as Mille Fleurs, in 2013It's been an international enigma for the last two years: Who really owns the lavish Vancouver Island estate where Prince Harry and Meghan wintered in 2020 as they reportedly hashed out their plan to step back from official royal duties? Is it the Russian-born billionaire who several media outlets linked to the property? Is it Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra, as (erroneously) reported by the New York Post's Page Six? CBC and Radio-Canada found the answer, and it does indeed involve a Russian, but it wasn't easy — it...
