'He was so cool about it': British television presenter Sam Thompson reveals the 'mortifying' way he addressed King Charles, and the monarch's response
British presenter Sam Thompson has shared the embarrassing moment he called King Charles III "mate" and the laid-back way His Majesty responded. The 32-year-old reality star-turned radio host was among a string of celebrities invited to Buckingham Palace on Wednesday for a reception hosted by the King ahead of this year's King's Trust Awards. The 76-year-old monarch welcomed guests as part of the celebrations for his long-running charity which he founded as Prince of Wales to support disadvantaged youth. The organisation, which turns 50 in 2026, has helped thousands of young people overcome barriers like mental health issues, poor education and youth unemployment. Thompson, who was invited to present one of the night's eight awards to a Northern Irish teen named Taylor, took to Instagram to reflect on the moment and share his unfortunate slip-up. "Complete honour and pinch me moment yesterday to be invited to the Palace," he wrote, alongside a carousel of photos from the event, including one showing him shaking hands with the King. "I am lucky enough to be able to present an award to Taylor who is an incredibly special human," he continued. "After spending some time with him, his story is one that I think will resonate with a lot of young men his age and I know this is only the beginning for him." Thompson then confessed: "Also called the King 'mate' which was mortifying but he was cool about it!" punctuated with a laughing emoji. He also posted a snap of his official invite to the Palace, captioning it: "Yesterday was crazy." The Royal Family's official Instagram account even liked Thompson's post and left a heart emoji, while the King's Trust replied: "Such a pleasure to have you, Sam! See you at the Awards." Interestingly, Palace's unusually playful tone wasn't limited to Thompson's gaffe. Fellow reception attendee Jamie Laing and his pregnant wife Sophie Habboo also made headlines after recreating Meghan Markle's infamous "Baby Momma" dance video while inside the palace. "They said we couldn't film in Buckingham Palace," Laing captioned the Instagram post. But the Royal Family's official account unexpectedly replied: "We see you" with a wink emoji, while the King's Trust added: "All of our attendees are very well behaved." The comment section exploded, with fans praising the unexpected banter. "@theroyalfamily best response ever! This really made me laugh," one wrote. Another added: "This is brilliant!" while a third user said: "In a world at times worrying and serious, this comment was so needed." Thompson, Laing and Habboo later joined stars including George and Amal Clooney, Dame Joanna Lumley, Charlotte Tilbury and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at the official 2025 King's Trust Awards, held at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Thursday night. The event featured a red carpet, glam bot, and a live performance by pop icons The Sugababes.

Prince Harry ‘regrets' his role in how the royal rift unfolded with Prince Charles and Prince Williams
Prince Harry is reportedly reflecting with regret on his role in the deepening royal rift, with a prominent royal author claiming the Duke of Sussex wishes he had handled things differently. The Duke of Sussex is reportedly extending an olive branch to his estranged father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William — and he's doing it through one of his most personal projects. Prince Harry is planning to invite his royal relatives to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, in a move insiders believe may be an attempt at reconciliation. Formal invitations will be sent closer to the time, but emails to Buckingham Palace are expected this month. The Games are scheduled for July 12–17, 2027 — a date that coincides with Queen Camilla's 80th birthday, the New York Post reported. The Sussexes, who relocated to Montecito, California, in 2020, have only returned to the UK a handful of times since stepping back from royal duties. One key reason for their absence is security. After losing their taxpayer-funded police protection, Prince Harry launched a legal challenge to reinstate it, which he lost earlier this year. Following the ruling, Prince Harry said he 'couldn't see a world' in which he and his wife, Meghan Markle would be able to bring their children — Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4 — to the UK. 'By saying he can't bring them here because of the court ruling, Harry has nailed his colours to the mast,' royal author Duncan Larcombe said. Meghan is also reportedly reluctant to return to the UK. 'They'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to realise just how much criticism they've had for their betrayals and truth bombs. But more importantly, there are real and genuine threats,' Mr Larcombe said. The royal expert claimed threats likely come from 'lunatics and radical protestors,' noting that the visible security at major royal events is only 'the tip of the iceberg.' Without official support, he said, Prince Harry and Meghan are left with a limited private security detail that may not detect more serious risks. Amid this ongoing distance, Mr Larcombe said the upcoming Games — along with recent royal milestones like Trooping the Colour and Father's Day — may be prompting Harry to reflect on how fractured the relationships have become. 'Harry is a sensitive soul and always wore his heart on his sleeve,' Mr Larcombe said. 'So whether he'd admit it publicly or not, I'm sure he's full of regrets and wishes he'd done things differently.' The royal biographer added that the duke is likely thinking back to 'the happy relationships he once had with his brother and dad,' and that deep down, 'he'd love to be able to rebuild those.' The Sussexes have not commented publicly on the reconciliation effort.
