Prince William planning to cut Prince Harry's children from any ‘Royal roles'. Can they keep their title?
Multiple royal sources suggest that once William becomes king, he plans to cut ties not just with Harry and Meghan Markle, but also with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. 'When he becomes king, Archie and Lilibet won't have roles, titles, or royal responsibilities,' a source told journalist Rob Shuter.
'He doesn't want any lingering ties to the Sussexes.'
The Prince of Wales is said to be focused on both caring for his father, King Charles III, who is battling cancer. His strained relationship with Harry has only worsened over the years, especially after Harry's memoir Spare and a series of interviews.

Excluding Harry's children from future royal roles was '100% William's call,' the aide told Shutter.
'Kate expressed concern, especially for the children, but William wouldn't budge. He believes this is the only way to protect the crown.' Inside William's plan to rewrite the monarchy
Now the big question is, can Harry's children keep their royal titles? Legally, yes, the monarch has the power to amend royal titles via a new Letters Patent.
'William is shaping the monarchy his way,' one insider noted. 'No Hollywood royals, no second chances.'
Since relocating to California, Harry and Meghan have carved out a new life in the public eye.
Some insiders have since claimed William would 'love' to see Harry's marriage fall apart. 'As long as Meghan's on the scene, William simply won't entertain the possibility of making peace with Harry,' a source told Radar Online.
'It would only work if she were long gone from Harry's life. Realistically, William doesn't expect his brother to leave Meghan, but he wouldn't be the least surprised if she gets bored of Harry at some point and spits him out.'

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez staying at iconic White Lotus hotel for honeymoon: Report
Fresh off their $50 million wedding in Venice, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are now enjoying a luxurious honeymoon in Sicily, per Daily Beast. The couple is staying at the famed San Domenico Palace in Taormina, a hotel that's as stunning as it is historic. Fans of HBO's The White Lotus will instantly recognise the location. The hotel served as the backdrop for season 2 of the hit series. But even before the show made it famous, the San Domenico was already a magnet for royalty, actors, and global leaders. File photo of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez(REUTERS) Why Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez chose Sicily? Bezos first fell in love with the area last year while sailing near the Aeolian Islands. The town's old-world charm and quiet glamour clearly left an impression. A source told the Daily Beast that the newlyweds arrived at the hotel after boarding Bezos' $500 million superyacht Koru. The San Domenico Palace is no stranger to the spotlight. Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, and Greta Garbo once stayed there. Oscar Wilde too. And in 2017, it hosted the G7 summit. Luxury, star power and some backlash Rooms at the hotel can cost upwards of $8,000 per night, but that's just a fraction of what this wedding cost. Sanchez's engagement ring alone is estimated at $3 to $5 million, according to People. Their ceremony brought in about 200 guests, many arriving via private jet or yacht. Oprah Winfrey, the Kardashians, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Bill Gates, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman were among those seen. But not everyone was thrilled. Locals in Venice pushed back against the scale of the wedding, fearing disruption and more overtourism. The backlash was so strong, the festivities were moved from central Venice to a quieter location, the Arsenale on San Giorgio Maggiore island. Now in Sicily, the couple appears to be keeping things low-key. After the whirlwind in Venice, this quiet stretch of coastline offers the kind of privacy only a few places can still provide.

Prince William feared marriage and it almost cost him Kate Middleton — Royal expert reveals why
The Prince of Wales , Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton-- the Princess of Wales, have always gained much admiration from people for their love and respect for each other. From college-sweethearts to lifelong partners, William and Kate's royal love story has evolved over the years and the couple are now proud parents to three beautiful children. However, before getting married to Kate, though Prince William knew that she was the the woman he wanted to spend his life, he first had to overcome his hesitation about settling down, according to royal expert Katie Nicholl. As revealed in Marie Claire on June 29, the future King, now 43, made a heartfelt promise to Kate during a romantic trip to Desroches Island in 2007, shortly after they rekindled their relationship following a high-profile breakup. This was before Prince William officially proposed to Kate. In her book titled 'The Making of a Royal Romance', Nicholl writes, 'William, who inherited a fear of commitment from his father, understood he would lose Kate if he didn't offer her some form of assurance.' Though he wasn't yet ready for marriage, William expressed his deep commitment during the getaway. A close friend shared, 'William promised Kate he wouldn't let her down. She agreed to wait for him.' The couple, who met in 2001 while studying at the University of St. Andrews, dated for nearly a decade before getting engaged in November 2010. William proposed during a trip to Kenya, offering Kate Princess Diana's iconic sapphire engagement ring. He later reflected on the emotional moment in an interview with ITV: 'It takes a certain amount of motivation to propose, but it just felt right in Africa. It was beautiful. The ring was my way of keeping my mother close to it all.' The couple married in a globally televised ceremony at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011. Since then, they've built a beautiful family together, raising three children: Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (10), and Prince Louis (7). Through highs and lows, William and Kate have stood strong—including one of their biggest challenges yet. In 2024, the Princess of Wales bravely announced her cancer diagnosis. Thankfully, in January 2025, she shared the uplifting news that she is now in remission. William and Kate's journey from college sweethearts to beloved royals has been full of devotion, challenges, and quiet strength. Their bond is a powerful reminder that true love is not just about fairy-tale proposals—but about patience, trust, and standing by each other through everything life brings.
