The Daily Mail was full of Windsor Woe on Thursday. You see, Prince Harry looked rich, handsome and charismatic during a breezy visit to London for the WellChild Awards, and the Mail was SEETHING. The Mail and the Windsors decided to attach themselves to Harry’s visit in any way possible, which is honestly what they’ve been trying to do since his visit was announced. Suddenly, the Kensington Palace clownshow sent out Prince William to make an ass out of himself, doing his first event in two months just hours before the WellChild Awards. Rebecca English dutifully wept about how William would never, ever meet with Harry (Harry didn’t ask) and that William is so terribly incandescent with rage towards his brother. “On the anniversary of the Queen’s death, her warring grandsons are still 100 miles apart” – by design, because William would likely assault Harry once again. Meanwhile, Eden Confidential decided to portray King Charles as right to “snub” Harry during this visit.
King Charles is well within his rights to decide he ‘has no time in his diary’ to meet Prince Harry tomorrow on his brief return to Britain. That’s the view of Daily Mail Diary Editor Richard Eden, in his latest Palace Confidential newsletter.
Many had expected a family reunion at Balmoral for the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death on Friday, September 8. But as Mail on Sunday Assistant Editor Kate Mansey revealed last week, it’s unlikely Harry will be there. Instead, the King and Queen Camilla will spend the day privately at Balmoral, where Elizabeth died, while Prince William and Catherine are expected to lead the tributes as they carry out a public engagement at St David’s Cathedral in Wales.
Some have been upset by the apparent snub and say that Charles should take the opportunity to mend fences with his younger son, who will attend a charity awards ceremony in London this evening.
‘I disagree,’ writes Eden. ‘The California-based couple showed scant regard for Harry’s grandparents when they gave an explosive, appalling interview to Oprah Winfrey when Prince Philip was being treated in hospital for his final illness. And, while the frail Queen was in worsening health, they added to her worries by announcing that Harry would be publishing a tell-all memoir and appearing in a Netflix series with more criticism of her family. Who can blame the King if he doesn’t want to see the son and daughter-in-law who caused his dying mother such heartache?’
If we’re using the cudgel of “this royal added to QEII’s stresses in her final years,” why do we never talk about Prince Andrew? In her final year of life, QEII’s favorite son was being sued for rape and human trafficking, and he had to beg his mother for the money to settle with Virginia Giuffre, lest he be dragged into American court and his whole web of lies around Jeffrey Epstein fall apart. Why do we never talk about Charles’s decades-long quest for his mother’s blessing to call Camilla “queen,” and how Charles (in essence) forged his mother’s signature on a statement assuring that “Queen Camilla” exists? I mean, if we’re talking about stress on QEII, those should be added into the mix as well. Surely we should also discuss the chaotic situation around the HMS Bubble which saw an apparently cancer-ridden monarch get a heavy case of Covid just seven months before her death. Y’all want to talk about stress, let’s f–king talk about stress.

Lol. Like he cared about his mother 🙄.
Exactly what I thought!
Of course it’s not the fact that her second son is a paedo or that she was made to work while suffering from bone cancer and covid. Nope. It’s her grandson who just wanted to exist without abuse who’s at fault.
These schmucks are the fucking worst.
Or that her son and grandson colluded to drive her favourite grandchild and his wife -with her newest great grand child out of the country. Or that grandson heir was yelling and screaming at her favourite grandson in front of her. Why is there no journalistic integrity on salt island?
Harry’s in town for a day to visit Wellchild. Charles is in balmoral. This isn’t even a snub. Now, Charles hiding away and being “too busy” when Harry came for his court cases is another matter.
Yet no mention of Andrew hiding out in royal residences from process servers. And the queen was said to have paid millions to pay off the lawsuit in the civil case harry lost. And also Charles went on tv and cooperated with dimbleby on an authorized biography. I doubt his parents were stress free when they heard all the negativity about them from their first born.there would have been no Oprah interview if harry and Meghan had been supported.by the family. Kate never denied the crying story and Meghan was not allowed to go to the UK media to set the record straight
Edit civil case Andrew lost
First off – of course Charles is “within his rights” to refuse to see Harry. Same way that Harry is “within his rights” to refuse to see his father. No one is going to force one of them to see the other or pass a law saying they have to or whatever.
As for the rest of it….yeah, lets talk about who was stressing the Queen out in the final years of her life. the grandson who she arranged to see in secret visits, arranged his security for her Jubbly, and had direct communications with, or the son who she had to pay 12 million to protect? Gee, I wonder who was the bigger stressor………
I mean honestly I feel like W&K’s laziness probably stressed her out more than Harry being happy in California.
Kate hiding from public view for over a month after the Rose story came out would have been a bigger stressor to the queen than anything Harry did. That’s why kate received the Victorian Order mid year so that she would stopping hiding.
This from the man who was too busy mushroom hunting to be by his mothers side as she lay dying. Harry caused her no grief. She was in communication with him and Meg. Harry visited when he was allowed. You Chuckles did all in your power to stop that communication by placing people to block him. Chuckles Harry dumped you so there is no way to snub him. Stop trying to re-write history.
With pictures of H emerging from visiting his grandparents at St-George chapel today.. you just know W will be pissed to be « stuck » in Wales. Good on H for making the time and surprising everyone
LOL, I guessed he would make a private tribute to his grandmother in his own way. All of Wales was probably lit up by his brother’s incandescent rage.
What an absolute load of nonsense as per usual from Eden. With KCIII giving Harry permission to stay overnight in Windsor Castle it’s pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain that this story was written before the “real” story. The one that lets us all know KCIII gave his permission for Harry to stay in a Windsor property. Admittedly it would have been better if KCIII had given him back Frogmore Cottage but, I can guarantee you right here and now, Princess Karen and TOB won’t be too happy about it.
I know that KCIII is never going to win father/grandfather of the year but, this article is just confirming what a lot of people already know. Eden has no real sources and makes it up as he goes along. KCIII knew Harry was staying in Windsor and it didn’t want it leaked. Who knows why he didn’t leak it but, for once the Mail were firmly kept out of the loop.
Wait, how do we know he stayed at Windsor?
@Becks – At this moment nothing has been confirmed. Until the palace outright denies he stayed at Windsor then I’m sticking with he stayed there.
Well maybe he did, its certainly possible, but its also just as possible that he stopped by St. George’s on his way to Heathrow after leaving London.
I don’t think we at all know where he stayed. All we know is he visited Windsor this morning.
^^ Exactly @Jais. There are plenty of places where Harry could have stayed. It’s been speculated he could have stayed at a Windsor residence of any one of his close friends who have nearby estates. There are surely still many Harry friends and admirers who are concerned with supporting and protecting him whenever he is in Britain. Harry also could have stayed with friends in London last evening, and traveled to Windsor early today.
I think Charles did not want a temper tantrum from incandescent William so William may have found out Harry went to the grave site after the fact which may be why Charles kept it quiet.
@Tessa: You have a lot of faith in Charles.
Amy. Bee I have no faith in Charles. I think Charles was driven by fear of William s temper tantrums. Harry would have made a request to visit the grave. And Charles did not want another scene from william
That photo in Windsor looks quite strange when you zoom in on it.
It’s giving me AI vibes.
And the account that tweeted it is behaving a little oddly, too – no explanation, no details, no other tweets since mid-June, no replies to journalists.
It’s smelling fishy to me. I would love it to be real but my guy says someone is playing silly buggers.
@Laura D: It’s doubtful he stayed in Windsor. Where would he stay? Frogmore Cottage is packed up. As Becks says It’s more likely he stopped in Windsor on his way to the airport.
@Amy Bee – You’re both probably right but, everyone thought he was flying straight to Germany after Wellchild and yet here he is in Windsor. There are plenty of spare rooms in Windsor Castle and it was put forward as an alternative to Frogmore. I doubt if Meghan would ever want to stay there (let alone the children) but, for an overnight stay. Why not?
The main reason I came to the conclusion he stayed at Windsor Castle was because I noticed yesterday how the narrative has softened. GMB hosts and their guests were saying the rift is a family argument and blame can be attributed to both sides. GMB is normally pro KCIII and William so, I was surprised to hear them to give a more balanced view.
Also, yesterday I clicked on the Mail site (yes I know I shouldn’t have but……) to see how they reported Harry’s entrance to the Wellchild Awards. It was interesting that the headline was about how Harry “dodged” William and not the usual incandescent William “snubs” Harry.
I don’t know if this is a dawning of a “new age” but, I do believe that “someone” has (at the very least) ordered a “truce” while the IGs is on. Ok,I accept it’s not much to go on but, let’s be fair far worse stories have ran with a lot less!
@LauraD I know what you mean. There does seem to be a slight shift coming from Charles’ camp. Either he finally hired a competent PR person, or someone already there told him to back off during Invictus.
It will be interesting to see what happens post IG.
^^ Wow. This sounds to me like a bit of too much following whatever the BM shells out on a daily basis. 🤔
I come here to keep up with general royal highlights, mainly involving M&H, in addition to reading Kaiser’s tabloid summaries. I never click on DF, and I hardly ever read other tabloid fare, except for what’s in CB highlights. I don’t listen to GB news, and I haven’t heard much from Chris Ship recently. It doesn’t appear that he’s still doing the Royal Rota podcast on YouTube — the well ran dry, apparently.
I feel better off for not reading nor listening to most of the rota/ tabloid/ BRF crapola. There’s no real change in the firm’s feelings toward Harry & Meghan. If there is a ‘softened’ p.r. strategy, it’s only a selfish, contrived, ineffectual means-to-an-end. Salty Isle nonces are ‘in their cups’ with anxiety over the positive media coverage Harry & Meghan will be receiving during Invictus, in Dusseldorf. That would be the only reason for any ‘waffling’ change-in-tone. And such waffling is not new(s). 🙄
@Aftershocks – I take your point about the BM but, for clarification GMB is an abbreviation for Good Morning Britain a morning programme on the main ITV television channel. ITV is also the home of Chris Ship who has you quite rightly say is currently out of the loop. ITV has nothing to do with GB news and reaches far more viewers. Which is why I thought it significant they softened their stance. Like you I also think it’s a means to an end. As Becks said (and I agree) we’ll see if this softening remains once the IGs is over.
Charles. Went to see his mother who was weak and frail to demand she issue a statement about Camilla title. He ended up disregarding the statement by calling her queen instead of queen consort.
Maureen Eden continues to scribble fiction. Even after the Oprah interview and memoir announcement, Betty went rogue and secretly met with Harry and Meghan in her private apartment at Windsor Castle. She honored them with their own procession at the Jubilee celebration. She honored them even more by sending Burger King over to Wales to ensure SPACE while H&M were there. Betty was probably happy to see CRex and William squirm due to Harry’s revelations, as she knew they were both big toddlers prone to temper tantrums when called out.
Weren’t some of these same scribblers talking about “olive branches” last week? And how Charles was “proud” of Harry? As long as the trashloids are butting into the relationship there can be no reconciliation, not that Harry is even interested in having one. So go snub away Charles, like Harry said, he’s moved on.
her entire family is stress…honestly bc of her and how she raised them. a son who is so entitled he thinks he can be a pedo and get away with it. another she forced to marry a virgin teen and then had a horribly messy divorce and is an absent dad. trickle down to a grandson who has temper tantrums and another who’s horribly scarred from bad parenting. coupled with the systemic issues of the monarchy and one grandson who’s got all the receipts to reveal just how entitled, racist and house of cards the monarchy is. yea i’d say there’s stress there…trying to keep this image of all is well in a incredibly dysfunctional family that she helped create a narrative of.
She enabled all the stressers. Let’s not forget that.
The queen did not force Charles to marry Diana. Charles needed heirs and he chose the aristo Diana to marry and have his heirs. Charles behavior caused the.marital issues he had not the queen.
Oh, fuck allll the way off with this bullshit. Harry loved his grandmother enough to actually check in on her, in person, just to make sure she was being well cared for, and even named his daughter after her (and while many of the RR lost their damn minds over that, QEII herself appeared to be delighted).
As for doing the Oprah interview while Philip was seriously ill, I think that he of all people would understand why Harry wanted out.
They never talk about the courtiers forcing the Queen to continue to work when she was in ill health. I always say that the Palace worked that woman to death.
Whenever I see that picture of her from the day she met Liz Truss I think the same. She was dying of bone cancer, literally at death’s door, and they made her dress up and trotted her out to meet the new PM.
Yeah, Harry’s concerns about how she was being treated were validated by that picture.
And THEY misrepresented the true health status of the Head of State in the UK and the Commonwealth. THEY truly have no moral compass and will always lie as easily as they breathe.
All of this. They were trotting her out with bruises when she should have been allowed to rest. There was a timeline of that day she met with the PM and they had her meeting with others as well. It wasn’t just a few min. It would have been a long day for someone so ill.
Exactly, she was literally about to drop dead. Just standing up would have been a monumental feat. The strain probably hastened her demise by a few days/weeks.
That picture outside the church always bothered me too. That’s a big coat and she was already relying on a cane for balance. Why didn’t someone make sure her coat was buttoned properly, and/or ask photographers to wait until it was before taking pictures? It’s uncharacteristic for her to appear looking anything less than dignified and put together. If she didn’t want the scarf on, why isn’t someone else holding it, instead of TQ having to juggle it along with her purse and cane? Was anyone standing near her as she walked out to help if she needed assistance? Can’t remember if that picture was taken before or after H&M’s surprise visit to make sure she was being properly looked after, but if I were him, that picture would have worried me.
Yes, that photo was another indication that they weren’t looking after her properly.
I totally agree @windyriver. I can remember a photo on this site where I thought she looked dreadful; almost scruffy. She may not have always dressed to my taste but, she always wore what suited her and always looked good. I couldn’t believe that “they” put her in something that looked so ill-fitting. Knowing what we know now it’s obvious that they didn’t give an F about her. Seriously, those last few months borders on elder abuse (and no I’m not kidding)
That and the pic with her between the two ponies, used for PR for a horse race…
i don’t think anyone made her do anything. i think SHE’S the one that didn’t want to give up her position. She’s the one that wants to keep making appearances. her entire identity is being queen, from her twenties onwards….she really doesn’t have a life outside of being the head of the monarchy. Charles been chomping at the bits to take over for A LONG TIME. She’s the one that wanted to make appearances, keep a stiff upper lip, and be the figurehead of the monarchy bc that’s her entire being.
I don’t blame her for not abdicating for charles. I suspect William will try to pressure Charles to step down
We all know it’s Chuck who was stressed (self-inflicted). There’s no doubt he was making the decisions during her last years.
Liz annoys me but the affection and respect that HM have for her makes me think it’s very possible that she was being managed, bullied, coerced and pressured. It’s possible she did not know the extent of the bullying by the Windsors and the press, the criminal threats. It’s possible she was asked to appear beside Andrew and she didn’t know of the extent of his accusations. Because I can’t think of a good reason why HM speaks well of her. But they do. So I guess, she loved them and I think she tried and/or she was unaware. Didn’t Liz just keep quiet while Pegs was shouting and screaming? She had no more power. Maybe HM realised that and did not demand more from her. They wanted Chuck to help. He chose not to.
It makes sense that H didn’t convey to her the full extent of the situation. She was very, very ill and already being coerced and manipulated. Harry probably didn’t want to stress her out any further.
That’s why I also believe the rf briefing that she didn’t understand what all the fuss was about regarding Harry. They said that to imply she thought Harry was being hysterical and unreasonable, but I think the truth is she was confused because she had no idea of the extent and seriousness of what was happening. She was almost completely out of the loop. The whole situation was Will, C&C, an courtiers.
And I think Kate was like Iago, a side character in the shadows, stirring shit. I think she enjoying winding William up about Harry and especially Meghan. It gave her a sense of control and power to be able to set him off, and she enjoyed seeing him unhappy.
The stupid thing about this article is that there were lots of people QE2 may have felt stressed by. Her husband caused a car accident in which a woman was hurt. He was in ill health, had been a rock for her , and then died. She was surrounded by vulterous advisors. Paedrew. Covid.
And how about her immediate heir? Beyond Camzilla needing to be made acceptable, there were suitcases of cash, a dodgy dude by the name of M. Fawcett, rumors of CRex’s unsuitability… The woman was a head of state and we’re supposed to believe that her main source of stress was not someone in line to the crown as she prepared for the next generation of rulers?
5 minutes, please just give me 5 minutes alone with Eden, I will show him how stressed his continual garbage can make a sick woman. Charlie is hold up in Balmoral, within the same walls that he paedophile brother hold up in to avoid process servers, did THAT not stress the Queen, having to write a 12 million cheque to keep the same paedophile out of prison, did that not stress me the Queen? Rolling the sick Queen out onto a balcony to show the “family” off, did that not stress the Queen, knowing that her incandescent grandson was stropping all over the country, did that not stress the Queen, knowing that Charlie was going against her wishes that camzilla remain “Queen consort” did that not stress the Queen? Knowing that katey was going to get her hands on more jewellery that would disappear, did that not stress the Queen, and, with her dieing breaths, knowing that her son would rather be foraging for mushroom than be with her, did that not stress the Queen, and I believe her final stress, was knowing in her heart, how they would treat her grandson and his family. They along with Eden are bloody disgusting
@Mary Pester – I’ll hold your coat. 😉
Seriously? Elizabeth might have been physically fragile, but she’d been through far more stressful things in her 96 years – that woman was pure steel. And at that point of her life, I’m sure she was all “screw it, you people do whatever you want.”
I have to laugh at the expected family reunion at Balmoral – who exactly was expecting it? Never mind Harry, not even Will and Kate were there. And what about the newly burnished Andrew, or the dutiful Edward and Sophie, or Anne, who does whatever she wants, and the cast of grandchildren, nieces, in-laws, whatever…
Richard Eden complained but the late Queen did not. The late Queen sent her personal car and security to escort Prince Harry and his family during Jubilee
And they were publicly escorted to their seats by her personal staff.
“The Queen, although not in attendance at the service, reportedly deliberately wanted Meghan and Harry to have their own procession upon their arrival at St Paul’s Cathedral. Speaking on BBC, The Sunday Times royal editor Roya Nikkhah discussed the Queen’s deliberate act for her grandson and his wife.
……
She added: “Prince Harry is no longer a working member of the Royal Family, he stepped back from his royal duties, but I think Her Majesty The Queen has ensured that Harry and Meghan were front and centre there and had their own procession”.
Daily Express June 3, 2022
Another “snubbing” article. The denial and collective psychosis is real with the BM. They expect everyone to forget how TQ’s handlers repeatedly trotted her out like a show pony despite her apparent illness and frailty. No mention of Covid-laden Chuck and his mistress wife visiting and breathing unmasked on the aging queen and other unsuspecting guests? The eternally lazy, temper tantrumming Willy Wonka and the Button Factory constantly begging and pestering TQ and Chuck for another palace/mansion while briefing the press and scheming how to do even less work were surely another source of stress. TQ also had to meet/talk in private with her favorite grandson and his family bc no one around her could be trusted. Plus, TQ knew what disasters Chuck and W as monarchs would be and how they would trash her legacy and the monarchy with their incompetence, greed and entitlement. But sure, blame Harry. RE, you and the rest of the RRs will still be stuck trying to make a living writing fact free articles about the Leftover Royals while foaming at the mouth about the Sussexes. I’d wish you luck, but I don’t want to.
So it wasn’t her pedophile son, cancer, and Covid that stressed her out?? JUST Harry?? These people are so ridiculous.
Unless Betty was a mushroom being forge in the forest, I don’t really think chucky was all that bothered by her illness and her last days .
What the courtiers did was elder abuse. And Charles failed to intervene. He was far more concerned about Camilla than about his seriously ill mother.
Sorry QuiteContrary – I didn’t see this post. I totally agree it was elder abuse but, the problem with the cabal is they have no shame or conscience. All they saw was the crown and the money. Shame on the whole bliddy lot of them.
Cabal is a perfect term for them.
In what universe does the royal family think these nasty swipes make them look good? They seem like such a nasty unpleasant misery train. Everything they do, they have to bring up the Sussexes and say something negative. Harry and Meghan were the least of her problems. They really are stuck in a rut.
I’m sorry y’all let that woman come out the house with her clothes not fit right. So who was taking care of her? Charles had her supposedly sign off on Camilla being Queen instead of Queen consort. If you believe that was the Queen’s initiative you are out of your f****** mind. Harry told you in SPARE when he told his grandmother what was going on with his dad all she said was “that’s your dad, and he does what he wants”. So I truly believe before the queen passed Charles was in control him and William for like the last year and a half or two years of her rain so a lot of the things that came out was already proven to be a lie “recollections may vary”, remember that one according to everyone at the time the Queen Elizabeth has great snapback and it wasn’t even the queen that said it. It was Kate who said it but you slap the Queen’s name on it though didn’t they. I don’t trust anything that they said that the queen approved of or it would go past the queen without her approval if she’s sick and you can lie to us about her this what caused her to be sick and her bone/blood disease what else can they lie about?
^^ A courtier came up with the ‘recollections may vary,’ line. Khate isn’t smart enough to have thought of that phrase. Khate reportedly only agreed with using that line, as originated by a palace courtier, for the palace press statement, in response to the Oprah interview.
She was trash in every way. shrs absolutely no better than her son, worse in many ways and I hope she died miserable and is enjoying her existence in hell.
Who was expecting a reunion? No one asked to see Charles and the height of immaturity is when no asks you something but you have to let everyone know your response to something that no one asked you. I think it galls them that he doesn’t think about them, that he’s happy and thriving without them and he doesn’t need them. He doesn’t talk about them, yet every.single.day, they have someone talk about him.
Um, replace Harry with Andrew and snubbing with babying and maybe you have some facts
“Oooh My!!!”, clutches pearls at adult children making decisions about their own lives… 🙄
What’s actually disrespectful & stressful is for parents/grandparents to try to control and dictate the choices of their adult children.
But did Harry visit the queen while he had active COVID, like Charles did? You can’t tell me that is not a death-wish visit from Charles, especially for a very old lady that you’ve been dying to replace forever. And she did catch COVID, didn’t she? It surely weakened her, if it did not kill her outright. So Charles can stuff it about Harry causing the queen stress. Charles actively tried to kill her.
Sycophants are absolutely drunk on Royal PR today. Point-in-case Eden…
The Queen seemed to love and care for Harry and Meghan very much. The stress I would imagine came from the vile bitchiness shown towards them by others in the BRF. She tried to show that she cared for them publicly. I would imagine the Queen would have been horrified and incredibly ashamed by having to put up with K and her trashy, social climbing, grifter family. Charles should be more embarassed about this trampy commoner who constantly drags the BRF down to her level. A stalker who targeted W for 10 years to get him to marry her, her grifter family, her vile uncle and the constant mean girl lies, the claims that she is from an aristocratic family. Her refusal to learn any skills to be able to speak clearly and carry out her duties with friendliness. Flashing her naked butt numerous times whilst doing royal duties, plus her history of self indulgence and lack of interest in doing anything to help others. A British television host recently said, she has no blue blood whatsoever, yet she is incredibly snobby and behaves as though she is superior to everyone.
I agree with everything you said about Kate, but as far as trashy, grifter families go, The RF wins, hands down.
Agree Ales, except I’m convinced she’s almost totally lacking in social confidence and has an inferiority complex. Never having worked accounts for a large part of it, that and being totally dominated by a very controlling mother. The whole scenario has encouraged jealous behaviour and laziness – the media daren’t expose her.
Dont feel she has an inferiority complex, there are far too many articles speaking about her belief in her own superiority and her extreme bullying of any competition. Her focus is always on herself, Carole may be controlling but K is a fully grown adult. K choose to stalk W, K chooses to destroy her competition, K chooses to be vile to anyone she feels threatened by, K chooses to feed the media. It is glaringly obvious that K has made no effort whatsoever to be trained in public speaking, marketing or PR. 20 years of learning nothing, states that she is incredibly stupid and also incredibly cunning. She and Carole learned their bizarre accents but not how to behave like compassionate humans with social consciences. K is constantly scanning for the next camera lens on every ocasion, she is always flashing big blue for photos, even when it is ridiculous to be wearing a very large, very expensive ring, like whilst playing sport or gardening. Nothing to feel sorry for, she chose her life, being so overconfident that being the last person standing after eradicating all competition and stalking your target for 10 plus years, makes for a happy marriage, is totally delusional. K is not a victim in any way, never has been. Narcissists are highly skilled at depicting themselves as the poor victim. W always looks happier and much more relaxed when he is away from her, their children appear to gravitate towards him too.
Maureen says what, now?
