‘Absurd': Prince William ‘won't let Prince Harry's kids become working royals'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's two young children won't have royal roles once Prince William becomes king. The claim is being made by several royal experts who noted that the Prince of Wales has been preparing for his future role as monarch while supporting his father, King Charles, who has cancer. 'It's utterly absurd for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to believe their children might one day choose to become working royals,' Kinsey Schofield, host of the To Di for Daily podcast, told Fox News Digital. 'That kind of entitlement isn't just wishful thinking — it borders on delusion,' she claimed. 'These are American children who've been raised oceans away from the monarchy, with no exposure to the customs, culture, or continuity that define royal life.' 'Harry closed that door himself the moment he boarded Tyler Perry's private jet and handed over his life story to a ghostwriter for Spare,' Schofield added. Schofield's statements came shortly after it was suggested in recent reports that Harry, 40, wanted to keep HRH titles for his children – or His and Her Royal Highness – so that they can decide for themselves whether they want to be working royals when they grow up. However, The Times U.K. reported that 'under the next reign, roles for Archie and Lili as working royals are unlikely.' Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are raising their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, in California. Fox News Digital reached out to Kensington Palace and Archewell, which handles the offices for the duke and duchess, for comment. 'Prince William will not be thinking of giving the Sussex children formal future royal roles — ludicrous!' British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. 'The children are being raised in America and, as I understand, do not have any understanding of the British royal family,' she explained. 'They will not have received the guidance to fit into royal life and royal expectations should not even be a thought … And why would Harry and Meghan want this for their children anyway? They stepped down as working royals, painted the British royal family in the most aberrant light, and ran as far away from them as possible!' Royal experts previously told Fox News Digital that Harry and William are not on speaking terms. Their relationship deteriorated following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision to step back as senior royals in 2020 and move to California. Since their royal exit, the couple has aired their grievances in interviews and documentaries. Harry's explosive 2023 memoir 'Spare,' featuring embarrassing details about the House of Windsor, only made things worse. In May, Harry told the BBC that he wanted to reconcile with his family but his father, 76, wouldn't speak to him. According to The Times, Harry's pleas 'did little to thaw the family freeze.' Sources told the outlet that William's attitude towards his brother had shifted significantly – to 'indifference.' 'Where he once raged at his brother's outbursts — after the publication of Spare, a friend told me that though he was determined not to publicly respond even though 'inside he's burning' — the anger has subsided to indifference,' wrote royal editor Roya Nikkhah. 'A friend tells me: 'What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesn't mention it at all. It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head, it was a very close relationship and he was very upset. But he's not letting it get to him at all anymore. It is a change. It's sad, but it's a much healthier space for him to be at,'' she shared.

Police probe UK bands for ‘hate speech' during Glastonbury set
Police have put UK bands Bob Vylan and Kneecap on notice following their controversial performances at the Glastonbury festival on Saturday. Avon and Somerset Police are examining video footage from the famed music festival to determine if criminal offences were committed when bands Bob Vylan and Kneecap took to the stage. The investigation was sparked after British punk duo Bob Vylan led festival-goers in chanting 'free, free Palestine' and 'death, death to the IDF' – referencing the Israel Defense Forces – to the packed-out crowd, many of whom were waving Palestinian flags. Irish rap trio Kneecap took to the West Holts Stage after Bob Vylan and followed suit, encouraging concertgoers to chant 'free Palestine' during their set. While onstage, band member Naoise O Caireallain, who performs as Moglai Bap, also slammed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer as their fans waved banners and wore face paint to support the band. 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f**k Keir Starmer,' he told the crowd. The performance came just one after before JJ O Dochartaigh, aka DJ Próvaí, was seen wearing an anti-Israel campaign group 'Palestine Action' T-shirt in a social media post. The stage incidents have since prompted police to review video evidence from both performances to assess whether to proceed with criminal investigations. 'We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon,' Avon and Somerset Police tweeted on X. 'Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.' The performances have also drawn criticism from the UK government, with a spokesperson saying in a statement, 'We strongly condemn the threatening comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury.' Social media has also exploded with outrage over the bands' controversial appearances, with US rapper Azealia Banks among the voices condemning the performances. 'That is actually crazy. To allow an artist to incite a mob and shout death upon anyone at a major music festival is CRAZZZZYYYY,' she tweeted on X. 'And like how does he think that's going to accomplish anything? Wooooow the UK is losing its mind.' 'There's nothing worse than artists who lose their sense of subjectivity. The art of 'doing everything to express what I feel' should be a matter for therapy, not for performance,' another echoed. 'Way to turn a music festival into hate festival. So sad and crazy,' another commented. While some X users argued that the bands were simply exercising their 'freedom of speech', their comments were mostly drowned out. 'This is NOT free speech. This IS HATE SPEECH! Absolutely disgusting that this allowed,' one tweeted, with another noting, 'I remember when music festivals were about coming together around music and unity with fellow humans. I guess this one is a Nazi death rally … glad I'm too old for this.'
