Harry and Meghan ‘stop looking for UK home’ as BBC star hits back at duchess – latest

It is not yet known whether Meghan will accompany Harry to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.

She was last seen publicly in the UK at the late Queen’s funeral in 2022.

The duke marked the 10th anniversary of Invictus at a special service in St Paul’s Cathedral in London in May, but he was without Meghan, and there was no appearance by the King or William.

However, the Games hold special memories for Harry and Meghan. They were first pictured in public together at Invictus in Toronto in 2017 as they watched the wheelchair tennis.

The former actress has been an avid supporter of the games and rarely misses events.

The BBC presenter who interviewed Meghan and Harry upon their engagement has responded to claims that the sit down felt like a “orchestrated reality show”.

Mishal Husain was one of the unlikely figures caught in the crossfire of the couple’s 2022 Netflix documentary series, in which Meghan made the comment.

The BBC host has now said she “didn’t know what to make” of the claim as she revealed the couple seemed certain of their future.

“When the Duchess of Sussex said that my engagement interview with her and Harry was an ‘orchestrated reality show’ I didn’t know what to make of it,” she wrote in the August issue of Saga magazine.

“They seemed to have thought through what their new lives would be like and what marriage would mean for her life in particular.”

She added: “There was nothing that pointed to what would happen. It was two people who were full of joy in each other and life.”

As Birmingham is confirmed as the 2027 host of the Invictus Games, the question of whether Harry’s father the King, brother the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family will attend to support the event.

Charles and William backed Harry when he launched the major venture 10 years ago, joining him at the opening ceremony and later flanking him as they watched the athletics together in high spirits.

But much has changed in the years that followed, with Harry stepping down as a working royal with the Duchess of Sussex and moving to the US.

He faced a strained relationship with his father and an ongoing rift with his brother, exacerbated by the criticism he levelled at Charles, the Queen, William and the Princess of Wales in his Netflix documentary and memoir Spare.

In the new statement, which was released in honour of the Natural History Museum’s new gardens, the princess, who is its patron, spoke of the healing power of nature.

The statement read: “I am hugely supportive of the Museum’s commitment to create a special space which encourages people of all ages to reconnect with nature and learn more about how we can protect our natural world.

A statement from JOA’s chairman Carolyn Labey said Mr Boas, who was diagnosed with throat cancer in September, died peacefully in Jersey surrounded by his family, aged 47.

When his condition worsened just days before the royal visit, the King sent him a personal letter, telling him what an inspiration he had been.

Prince William and Princess Kate are on the hunt to hire a new private assistant to join their team.

According to the job ad, their new assistant private secretary will organise the couple’s engagements within Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland and help maximise their impact “across constituent parts of the UK”.

They are looking for applicants who speak Welsh and bring a strong understanding of Wales’s communities, affairs, government and business.

The announcement that Prince Harry’s Invictus Games is returning to the UK in 2027 has come at a crucial time for the event.

The former chief executive of the games announced his departure recently after a decade at the helm and six games across three continents.

Dominic Reid, who has been credited with helping the foundation’s growth globally, said the organisation was a “great place” but now needed a “fresh look”.

“It’s without question the community that has been built,” he said. “It’s a fantastic closed community and it’s growing 40 per cent a year, which is phenomenal, internationally it’s grown to include friends and families and that’s a vitally important part as well.

“The community is what we have achieved. It has had a healing effect.”

Prince Harry said he was “immensely grateful” to his “friend” Mr Reid for transforming the Paralympic-style sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans from an ambitious idea into a global movement.

He praised his tireless efforts and spoke of the journey they shared together.

The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a new photo of Prince George on Monday to mark his 11th birthday.

The image, posted on Kensington Palace’s social media accounts, was taken by Kate at Windsor earlier this month.

The black and white shot shows the future King looking smart and grown up in an open-necked white shirt and dark blazer as he smiles at the camera.
