Prince William's 'strict' stance on Prince Harry even if he reconciles with King
Prince William remains"deeply wounded" by Prince Harry and has no plans to contact him - even if he reconciles with other Royal Family members, according to an source.
It is said that King Charles would welcome a reunion with his youngest son the Duke of Sussex, as long as he scales back his public attacks on the family and stops the "endless" interviews. It comes after senior aides to both father and son held a secret peace summit last week - said to be a "significant" step in reuniting the feuding pair. At least three representatives from either side were seen speaking at the Royal Over-Seas League which sits just three minutes from Clarence House.
The meeting has prompted many to wonder if the aides had been discussing a possible meeting between the King and Harry, when he is due to visit the UK in September. However, no representatives for William, who also has an extremely rocky relationship with his brother, were at the meeting.
And a royal source told the Mirror that the Prince of Wales is still reeling over his falling out with his brother, as he continues to struggle with claims made by Harry in various interviews and in his autobiography Spare.
The source said: "The Prince of Wales remains deeply wounded by Prince Harry's various allegations in his memoir and endless broadcast interviews over the last few years.
"There are no plans to either make contact with or arrange to see the Duke of Sussex in the near future and regardless of any members of the family seeking reconciliation, that is certainly not on the prince's mind. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales are entirely focussed on their various important duties and their own family."
It comes as a close friend of the Waleses has also spoken out over the potential reconciliation, telling MailOnline that William and his wife Kate had not been made aware of the meeting, and had been deliberately left out.
'It's no coincidence that William and Catherine did not have a representative at the Royal Over-Seas League,' says one of the royal couple's alleged friends. 'They were not asked to send anyone and will be treating the talks with extreme caution."
The insider close to the Waleses referred to one of the biggest obstacles in the way of a 'rapprochement process' between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family: the loss of trust.
While the royals haven't been on speaking terms with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Sussexes have made the most of their platform by engaging in several tell-all interviews in which they dropped several allegations against the Firm, as Harry also did in his autobiography Spare.
But if any reconciliation is to be on the cards between father and son, one source warned it would only come if Harry, 40, stops conducting "endless rounds of broadcast interviews as his only way of communication".
A source previously told the Mirror: "The King has consistently shown he loves both his sons and as he has done in the past is prepared to meet Harry when their diaries allow such an occasion. It's not unusual for aides from different households to meet, especially when there is a new influx of staff starting their roles, but of course this is a significant moment.
"Senior members of the family have in the past said to Harry that he must both stop his attacks on the family as well as giving endless rounds of broadcast interviews as his only way of communication. If there is a period of calm and reflection on the part of the Duke of Sussex, then there may be a way forward for him to begin along the road of repairing his relationship with his father.'
Harry recently made public his desire to bury the hatchet with his family, saying in a tell-all interview with the BBC in May that he 'would love a reconciliation' with the King and William, as he admitted that he was tired of fighting, and he worried about Charles' health because he did 'not know how much longer [his] father has.' In the interview, the Duke even said: "I would like to get my father and brother back."

MasterChef's John Torode used 'serious racist term' BBC bosses say in damning verdict
The language used was allegedy of a racist nature and Tim Davie would not repeat it. Offensive language allegedly used by John Torode on MasterChef was a "serious racist term," a BBC boss has stressed. Tim Davie, director-general of the BBC, said he was not prepared to repeat it when pressed by journalists what exactly slur Torode is alleged to have used. The presenter was sacked from his role on MasterChef last night, after an allegation that he used racist language was investigated and substantiated by an independent investigation led by a top law firm. Although he denies the allegations, Torode, 59, follows Gregg Wallace, 60, out of the door, departures which put the future of already recorded celebrity and amateur versions of the BBC show in serious doubt, reports the Mirror. However, Mr Davie, 58, last night insisted MasterChef does have a future with the broadcaster beyond 2028, when its current deal runs out. Asked exactly what Torode said, Mr Davie last night replied: "I'm not going to give you the exact term, because I think, frankly it was serious racist term, a serious racist term, which does not get to be acceptable in any way, shape or form." In relation to MasterChef's future, the BBC boss continued: "I absolutely think it does (have a future), I think a great programme that's loved by audiences is much bigger than individuals. It absolutely can survive and prosper, but we've got to make sure we're in the right place in terms of the culture of the show." Torode and Wallace had fronted the show since it was revived as MasterChef Goes Large in 2005. When Wallace was axed, it was thought Grace Dent would replace the former greengrocer, having covered for him on Celebrity MasterChef episodes earlier this year. Torode's absence leaves questions on who may work alongside Ms Dent, a food critic with prior TV and journalism experience. Torode last night continued to insist that he had no knowledge of the "offensive" comment he is accused of making, despite lawyers Lewis Silkin upholding the complaint, said to be from 2018. It also emerged yesterday Tuesday, July 15, that the defiant presenter, who also appears on This Morning, found out about his dismissal through the BBC News website and claims he was never contacted by the BBC or MasterChef's production company about their decision not to renew his contract on the cooking programme, of which he has been part for 20 years. A statement from Banijay UK, the programme's production company, said: "In response to John Torode's statement, it is important to stress that Banijay UK takes this matter incredibly seriously. "The legal team at Lewis Silkin that investigated the allegations relating to Gregg Wallace also substantiated an accusation of highly offensive racist language against John Torode which occurred in 2018. "This matter has been formally discussed with John Torode by Banijay UK, and whilst we note that John says he does not recall the incident, Lewis Silkin have upheld the very serious complaint. Banijay UK and the BBC are agreed that we will not renew his contract on MasterChef."

'Prince Harry must be welcomed back to royal fold after Meghan rubbed salt in wounds'
Chatter that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are to return to royal duties continues - and one expert has argued it's the right move Troubled Prince Harry must be welcomed back into the royal family to help heal emotional wounds, a columnist has argued today. But Sarah Vine, a veteran newspaper columnist, claims Meghan Markle has "re-opened or even rubbed salt" in these wounds, trauma said to continue to linger following the death of his mother, Princess Diana. Ms Vine has given her opinion on talk the Duke of Sussex, 40, will make a dramatic return to The Firm some five years after he and Meghan Markle quit life in the US for opportunities in California. Sharing her opinion, Ms Vine wrote: "These are complex, deep-seated emotional wounds that may well take a lifetime to heal, if they ever will. That's why, fundamentally, taking steps to welcome the wayward duke back into the family is the right thing. When someone is in as much pain as Harry clearly is, they lash out at anyone within reach, especially those tied to them by blood. "But if you can grab them and hold them to your heart, show them the love and understanding they need, soothe their hurt with the balm of forgiveness, you can perhaps help them begin to move forwards." In her column for Daily Mail, the expert acknowledges Prince William is likely to have experienced similar grief following the family tragedy, which happened 28 years ago next month. However, she argues - in her opinion - William has had the "strength and stay" of the Princess of Wales in recent years, while Meghan "has had the opposite effect" on Harry. Ms Vine continued: "Instead of helping him heal his emotional wounds, she seems to have re-opened them - or even rubbed salt in them, some might say. "Instead of encouraging him to shape his own identity within the Royal Family, she has helped him turn his back on it. Which might have been fine if together they had embarked on something truly life-affirming. But they didn't. "They've walked away, but they keep looking over their shoulders. They are obsessed with the very thing they supposedly hate, and that's never a good frame of mind to be in." The damning opinion piece comes after another royal expert yesterday also claimed Prince William and Prince Harry should end their rift. Andrew Norman Wilson, though, argued a failure to do so soon would put lead to great tensions when William, Prince of Wales, becomes king. "When Charles vacates the stage, as one day he must, and William is anointed, a middle-aged brother in exile, on non-speakers with the sovereign but with a potential audience of billions, could do incalculable damage," Mr Wilson wrote. "It would be miles better [than Harry writing another book, for instance], then, that the Sussexes be brought in from the cold. Both sides should be seeking, not only diplomatic and political help, but personal counsel."

EXCLUSIVE Lady Gabriella Windsor's ex reignites claims of racism within the Royal Family as he again insists her mother owned black sheep named Venus and Serena and even drags in the KING - ahead of his new book that will alarm the Palace
The former boyfriend of Lady Gabriella Windsor has doubled down on his claims of racism within the Royal Family in a new interview, as he prepares to publish a novel inspired by his relationship with the King's cousin. Speaking on the podcast Tell Me About Your Father, Aatish Taseer, who was born in the UK and raised in India, recalled how he sparked a media storm in 2018 when he wrote an explosive article for Vanity Fair in which he claimed to lay bare intimate details of their relationship. He admitted that he was 'extremely indiscreet' and said that in England there is 'really no crime you can commit greater than that' especially after remaining 'very, very cozy' with Princess Michael after splitting from her daughter. Taseer, who is now married to a man, even described the wife of the late Queen's cousin as 'a gay icon', with the podcast host retorting: 'If she wasn't so racist, she'd be really marketable.' He also repeated the claim that the late polo pal of King Charles, Kuldip Singh Dhillon was referred to as 'Sooty'. Mr Singh, who died in 2023, previously insisted he 'enjoyed' the nickname. Meanwhile, Taseer doubled down on one of his most sensational claims, that Gabriella's mother, Princess Michael, once owned two black sheep at her former Gloucestershire home, which she named Venus and Serena after the tennis-playing Williams sisters. The interview comes amid Taseer's plans to release a novel he claims was inspired by his time with the Royal Family called In Their Country, about an aspiring journalist from New Delhi named Aleramo Singh Brusetti who is dating a member of the British Royal Family named 'Rose' who was brought up at Kensington Palace by her parents 'Prince and Princess Albert'. Although it is a work of fiction, an extract published by Air Mail weaves in real names and comments about royals such as Princess Margaret and Princess Diana and places including Kensington Palace and the restaurant Maggie Jones. In further chapters of the as yet unpublished work, seen by the Mail, the main character refers to a sexual frisson with his girlfriend's brother and her needing a HIV test after he has sex with a man. While the book is a work of fiction, it also weaves in quotes attributed to Princess Michael of Kent in the 2018 Vanity Fair article. It also includes incidents that have been reported publicly such as her alleged remarks to a group of black diners in a New York restaurant to: 'Go back to the colonies'. Despite this, Taseer said that he remained close to Princess Michael after his relationship with Lady Gabriella ended. He told the podcast: 'After Ella and I broke up, it was one of those relationships that was purely romantic and it didn't have a kind of friendship component. But I I was very, very close to Ella's mother to Princess Michael and who I always think of as a kind of gay icon. 'I would see her from time to time after Ella and I broke up, she came to my first book launch and I would go and see her in England. 'Also, I think once I came out and was married to a one of those situations where it must have felt like a betrayal of our time together.' Elsewhere on the podcast, he discussed his claim regarding the names of Princess Michael's sheep. 'The English, it's wild like that because the upper classes are so, they live at such a tremendous remove from the country,' he said. 'They really don't even know that like, I mean, [King] Charles has a friend called Sooty. Yeah. Like just a close friend. 'So I think the Venus and Serena was just, it was just part of that, that kind of weird air of abstraction that exists around these people and how they're not even aware of how shocking or offensive that might be.' The daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, affectionately known as Ella, 44, lost her husband Thomas Kingston, 45, in devastating circumstances in February 2024 after he was found dead with a 'traumatic head wound' and a gun near his body in an outbuilding of his parents' Cotswolds home. 'Tom was an exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him,' she said in a joint family statement at the time. 'His death has come as a great shock to the whole family.' In the subsequent months, Gabriella was supported by her royal relatives as she mourned her husband. She arrived for Royal Ascot side-by-side with Princess Anne and revealed how the 'kind' Princess of Wales invited her to advise on the Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey, where she was photographed with Carole and Michael Middleton. The personal tragedy no doubt put into context the media storm created by former boyfriend Taseer, a British journalist now based in the US, when he wrote an explosive article for Vanity Fair in 2018, where he claimed to lay bare intimate details of their relationship. 'For three surreal years, Ella and I hung about Kensington Palace; we swam naked in the Queen's pool at Buckingham Palace; we did MDMA in Windsor Castle; and we had scrapes with the British press,' he wrote. No further details of the alleged incidents were given. In the wide-reaching piece, Taseer also touched upon the issue of alleged racism within the Royal Family, drawing a link between the royals and Nazis, alleging: 'Royals and Nazis go together like blini and caviar'. Among the most sensational claims was that Gabriella's mother once owned two black sheep, which she named Venus and Serena after the tennis-playing Williams sisters. The timing of the article was significant: it was published weeks before the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which was attended by the Kents and Serena Williams – a close friend of Meghan. Senior courtiers were said to have been left reeling by the article, which was published in the US magazine but available in the UK, although there was no official comment from Buckingham Palace. Once again, those closest to Gabriella were quick to rally. Members of her inner-circle insisted that the story was full of fabrications and nothing more than an attention-seeking ploy by an ex-boyfriend. A source close to the Royal Family said at the time: 'What he has done is appalling and unnecessarily cruel, especially when he has only ever been shown kindness by her family.' A friend added: 'Aatish is a novelist. He has an active imagination.' The couple were introduced by mutual friends in 2003 while Taseer was studying at Amherst College, Massachusetts, two hours from Brown University where Ella was studying comparative literature. Highly intelligent, Ella is also a graduate of Oxford University, where she obtained an MPhil degree in Social Anthropology from Linacre College. Their courtship was passionate and public – the couple were often spotted in clinches and made it on to Tatler's 'most invited' list two years running. At one point they were tipped to marry. Taseer travelled with the Kents – revealing how 'to fly with the royalty was to fly with Easyjet' – and spent time at the family's five-bedroom apartment at Kensington Palace, which left him cold. 'The warren of dark-brick apartments and offices that greeted me resembled something between a military hospital and an old people's home,' he wrote. 'All the famous inhabitants - Princess Margaret, Princess Diana - were dead, and those who remained, minor royals and palace secretaries, lived in their long cold shadow.' (This was years before the Prince and Princess of Wales arrived to 'liven it up', as he put it.) Princess Michael of Kent, known as 'Princess Pushy', was reportedly impressed by her daughter's beau, once describing him as 'one of the most handsome men I have ever met'. But Taseer's opinion of his would-be mother-in-law was rather more conflicted. Of her denials of racism, he wrote: 'I would have liked to believe her, but I had my and Nazis go together like blini and above a certain age in Britain is at least a tiny bit racist.' He added that he did, however, see a 'nice side' to Princess Michael, describing her as 'funny, intelligent and generous'. Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Michael of Kent watch the racing on Derby day at the Investec Derby Festival at Epsom Racecourse on June 7, 2014 Before the relationship fizzled out in 2006, the Kents reportedly travelled to Bombay to meet Taseer's mother. She arranged lavish dinners and fireworks for Princess Michael on her birthday. Taseer is now a writer-at-large for T, The New York Times Style Magazine, and is married to lawyer Ryan Davis, whom he wed in August 2015. He was stripped of his overseas citizenship of India status in 2019 after he wrote an article criticising the regime of the country's prime minister, Narendra Modi. Meanwhile, Princess Michael once allegedly told black diners to 'go back to the colonies' and claimed not to know her father was an SS officer. In 2004 she was branded a racist by a group in a New York restaurant after a row erupted over the noise she claimed they were making. The royal was accused of slamming her hand down on the group's table, telling them: 'You need to quiet down.' Restaurant boss Silvano Marchetto offered to move Princess Michael and her party to another room. Before switching tables the royal is alleged to have said 'you need to go back to the colonies'. The princess was reportedly challenged at the time and was said to have replied: 'I did not say "back to the colonies", I said you "should remember the colonies". Back in the days of the colonies there were rules that were very good.' She is alleged to have continued: 'You think about it. Just think about it.' One of the group, Wall Street banker Merv Matheson, said: 'She has a problem and that problem is racism. She needs help.' AJ Callaway was also caught up in the alleged row and was surprised to find out she was a member of the Royal family. 'I thought she was just a crazy woman. I still think she's a crazy woman,' he said at the time. A spokesman denied that the princess made the slur, which reportedly arose from a confrontation about the group making too much noise in the Da Silvano restaurant. In 2014 it was revealed her father, Baron Gunther von Reibnitz, was a high-ranking SS officer, which the Princess Michael claimed was shocking news to her. He joined the Nazi party in 1930 but would escape to Bavaria in 1945 when it was occupied by the Americans. Princess Michael was born Marie-Christine von Reibnitz during the final months of World War Two. Historian Philip Hall unearthed the baron's Nazi link at the Berlin Document Centre, where evidence showed he had joined the SS three years before Hitler became chancellor. He also found references to Baron Gunther von Reibnitz being recommended for an appointment by Herman Goering and he is believed to have fought on the Polish front. After the war's end, the baron split from his family. The children and their mother headed to Sydney, Australia, and he settled in Mozambique, where he ran a citrus farm. The Czech princess joined the British Royal Family when she married Prince Michael of Kent in Vienna in 1978 and would later claim her union with the Silesian was an arranged marriage. She famously accused the British of racism in the 1980s when she said in an interview: 'The English distrust foreigners. I will never become British even if I live here the rest of my life.' She was branded Princess Pushy until 2013, when she was described as Princess Cushy for whinging about the rent she paid to Kensington Palace. Before 2010 she was paying just £69 a week in peppercorn rent, but would go on to pay £120,000 a year to stay at the palace, which has ten main rooms. The new rent rate was imposed when the late Queen was forced to restructure her grace-and-favour residences to bring rents into line with present-day market values. She also courted controversy when she told Tatler magazine she knew 'the real story' about Princess Diana following her death in 1997.
