Inside Prince Harry's hidden 'struggles' since quitting royals for marriage
A royal expert has claimed Prince Harry continues to face a 'struggle' five years after he and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, embarked on their new life in the US It's been more than five years since Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, stunned Brits by stepping down as senior working members of the Royal Family. However, an expert reckons the Duke of Sussex is still facing a "struggle" to find his place beyond the gilded gates of Buckingham Palace, especially in terms of 'trying to be a breadwinner' for his wife and children. Things have inarguably been eventful in the Sussex household since the Duke and Duchess swapped rainy Balmoral retreats for celeb hangouts in sunny Montecito. But has this markedly different pace of life proven to be everything the prince hoped for? In various snaps shared via Meghan's recently activated Instagram account, she and Harry appear to be enjoying an idyllic life in California with children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four. But according to Royal historian Marlene Koenig, the father of two, who previously served as a soldier in Afghanistan, could be missing out on professional fulfilment. Ms Koenig told US Weekly: "I'm not sure if Harry has regrets about leaving, as he is determined to build a new life in the US. "But he hasn't been entirely successful, especially in terms of earning money for the family. That seems to have fallen on Meghan.' The pair got candid in their bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they made it clear they were keen to strike out on their own. Further revelations followed in their 2022 Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan. Harry, 40, went on to publish his ghostwritten memoir Spare, which burst onto bestseller lists at the start of 2023. The Invictus Games founder also went on to take a position with tech startup BetterUp. Meanwhile, Meghan, 43, showed off her culinary skills in a lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, in addition to her various podcasting pursuits, including the star-studded Confessions Of A Female Founder. The former actress, who rose to fame playing Rachel Zane on Suits, has also shown entrepreneurial zeal through her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which stocks products such as raspberry spread and herbal teas. In Ms Koenig's view, the role of "breadwinner" has fallen on the shoulders of business-savvy Meghan, with the fifth in line to the throne now playing a "supporting role". Ms Koenig reflected: "He was always expected to play a supportive but not a supporting role. He may be comfortable in his California home with his wife and two adorable children, but what he hasn't found yet is the comfort of a success outside at home.' With this in mind, Ms Koenig compared Harry's situation with that of his elder brother, Prince William, now the Prince of Wales and King in Waiting. She argued: "One brother has found his role and knows what he has to do to prepare for his future. The other brother has yet to find the right balance for a successful career away from what he was raised to be.'

B&M has slashed the price of its New York Corner Set by £75, a saving of 21%. Top gardening trends of 2025 Gardening experts at Barnsdale Gardens has shared the top gardening trends of 2025. Matrix planting It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting. In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed. Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control. Chrysanthemum comeback I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as 'Innocence' and 'Cottage Apricot' would be spectacular within a matrix scheme. The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border. Blended borders For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year. The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing! Must-have tool My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else. It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said! The sofa set, which was originally priced at £350, has now been reduced to £275. Tesco shoppers are currently rushing to stores to buy stunning "reduced to clear" garden furniture that's up to 40% off. Shoppers can get their hands on the Outsunny Foldable Sun Lounger that comes with a side pocket and headrest for £23.19. Reduced from £28.99, this lounger is great for relaxing outdoors. If you're planning a garden bash this summer and need to give your gazebo frames a new lease of life, these Outsunny Gazebo Side Panels might just be for you. The side panels have been reduced to £25.59 and come in two different sizes, both of which have windows to let in that natural light.

I went to my first British barbecue - and it was nothing like I expected
New Zealand journalist Vita Molyneux moved to London last year - and was shocked at how Brits run a BBQ The London weather has been absolutely amazing these past few weeks. With the sun beaming down and clear blue skies, it's been screaming "barbecue" at every turn. However, as a Kiwi who moved to London last year, I've made a startling discovery: Brits don't quite grasp the art of a good barbecue. I recently had my first taste of an English barbecue and was utterly gobsmacked by how it all went down. When the invite landed in my inbox, I was over the moon. It felt like a slice of home, where we New Zealanders know our way around a backyard bash, so I got straight to planning. I pinged off a message offering to bring a couple of salads, perhaps a jug of margaritas, and naturally, no barbeque would be complete without a sweet treat - a pavlova seemed just the ticket, reports the Express. Imagine my shock when the reply came back: "No, we don't need to make anything; we've got it all already." I was rather taken aback! Catering a barbecue for 15 is no small feat, so I enquired about the menu. The response? Sausages, burger patties, bread with tomato sauce, and a few veggie patties and skewers for the non-meat eaters. No sides? I ventured, though I suspected I knew the answer. No sides. I was utterly flabbergasted. The sides are the star of any backyard barbie, how on earth could one go ahead without them? In New Zealand, it's customary for guests to bring a plate to a gathering - and no, we're not talking about dinnerware, but rather a side dish. The host typically takes care of the meat and might whip up a salad or two, while everyone else contributes either sweet or savoury sides or perhaps the makings of a charcuterie board. The result is a veritable banquet with plates piled high not only with burgers but also salads, corn, fresh produce, cheeses and, naturally, an ample supply of ice-cold beers, wines and cocktails. I couldn't fathom having a barbecue without these elements, so I bucked the trend. I arrived with an orzo salad and my freshly made pavlova, despite being told not to bring anything else as it wouldn't be eaten. To the host's surprise, though not mine, both dishes were a hit. The second thing that left me scratching my head was the way the meat was cooked. To me, a barbecue is a luxury item. In New Zealand, they're gas-powered hot plates, large enough to cook at least 10 burgers at once, and if you've got one then you're the designated host for the summer. Here, I was taken aback by a circular knee-high contraption powered by coals, firestarters and the isobutane from a broken Bic lighter. How on earth can you cook that much food efficiently on something so small? The answer is - with military-like precision. I must admit, I was rather taken aback by the swift manoeuvres of the men in charge of the grilling - and to be fair, the burgers were quite tasty, though I could have done without having to constantly shift upwind to avoid the smoke stinging my eyes. Despite it not being quite what I had anticipated, my inaugural British barbecue was a delightful affair. At its core, a barbecue is about gathering with those you hold dear, sharing a meal and savouring not just the weather, but the sense of community. Nevertheless, I am resolute in my decision to host the next one at my place, and demonstrate how it truly ought to be done.
