King Charles funeral plans: Harry and Meghan feature strongly despite estrangement

They might have been estranged for years, but King Charles has made sure son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are at the centre of plans for his funeral. The Sussexes will be included at the highest level, with the Duke expected to walk side by side with then-King William — with whom he is also not currently on speaking terms — at the forefront of funeral processions through the streets of central London, The Telegraph reports. Preparations for Charles' funeral began within days of Queen Elizabeth's death on September 8, 2022, with a meticulously detailed plan that outlines everything from how the public will be informed to his lying in state and the funeral, dubbed Operation Menai Bridge. The plan, named after the world's first iron suspension bridge in Wales, is expected to evolve over time after discussions between senior representatives from the royal household, the police, the military and the church. And, Charles is reportedly adamant that Harry and Meghan take their rightful place during the days of solemn services that will follow his death. Provision has also been made for their children Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 3. The monarch, 76, is being treated for an incurable form of cancer and Harry has previously acknowledged he doesn't know how much longer his father has to live. Although recent reports suggest Charles is likely to die 'with' and not 'of' the condition when his time comes. Relations between the royals have been frosty ever since Harry and Meghan left Britain to live in the US, dropping a series of bombshells via high-profile interviews and a tell-all book and a Netflix documentary and airing their complaints about their time as senior royals. It is hoped the plans will help avoid the awkwardness of the Queen's funeral where Harry and Meghan were said to have felt further ostracised. There were differing versions of exactly when Harry learned of his grandmother's death and a frustrating lack of communication between Buckingham Palace and the Sussexes office was blamed for other dramas that included a mistaken invitation to a state reception and confusion over military uniforms. Prince Harry has recently extended an olive branch to his UK-based family, inviting Charles, and William to the Invictus Games in Birmingham in 2027, with insiders suggesting he regrets his role in the deepening royal rift.

Joe Keery 'bonded' to Stranger Things co-stars for life

Joe Keery and his Stranger Things co-stars are "bonded" for life. The 33-year-old actor-and-musician - who plays Steve Harrington in the Netflix series - is thankful the young cast had one another for support as they became household names as a result of the global popularityof the retro sci-fi drama. Discussing his track Charlie's Garden - which was inspired by co-stars Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer - he told The Guardian newspaper: 'It's a little tip of the cap to everybody in Atlanta who had such a big effect on me. 'My community down there ended up being so much more important to me than I ever thought that they would be. We're all bonded for life... "We always had each other. It wasn't like being Macaulay Culkin or something, where you're like, the one person in that one thing. I always feel pretty lucky in that way, where it's like, I got one eighth of that …" Joe, who releases music under the pseudonym Djo, had to leave his band Post Animal to dedicate himself to Stranger Things and admitted he initially had "big-time fomo" and struggled with missing his old life in Chicago. He said: 'What an opportunity … I got plucked out of obscurity and put into this thing that thrust me into the public eye. 'But then, immediately, I was met with a sense of … oh man! I miss my friends and my sense of community. It took me a few years, honestly, to grapple with that.' Joe constantly grapples with fear and anxiety, finding it particularly hard to meet new people. He said: 'I suffer with fear and anxiety every day. 'A great example: you come home to your hotel or whatever. You're like, 'I could, like, go get a drink and meet some people... Ummm, no, I'm gonna go upstairs.' "You're constantly confronted with the anxiety of interacting versus the payoff of meeting a new friend or having a new experience. It's always worth it to go and talk to somebody, but there's always a little voice that's like: well, we could just be safe right now, you know.' But the End of Beginning hitmaker insisted his reluctance to mix isn't because of his fame. He said: "'No, no, not because of that. It's just the fear of rejection, normal human stuff. Everybody has this little monkey on their back. Everybody wants to desperately connect, but also is afraid of it.'
