Harry's solo adventure saw him land at Luanda airport and there proceed to take a series of small two-person planes to the site of the mines. The Duke of Sussex hopes the publicity from the daring stunt will encourage the Angolan government to make more donations to Halo - of with he became patron in 2019. FAMILY FEUD With rumours swirling around the possibility of a reconciliation, Harry previously said in his BBC interview that he had "forgiven" his family. The Duke also claimed reconciliation was now down to Charles. The feud between the Duke and his family started when he and Meghan Markle announced on January 8, 2020, that they would be stepping down as 'senior' members of the Royal Family. Since then it was revealed that Harry has limited contact with his father the King along with a slew of other revelations about the family feud. There was hope for reconciliation last year when Harry travelled to the UK to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his Invictus Games. However, the King and Harry failed to meet due to the Monarch's "full programme". The Duke was offered to spend his time at one of the royal apartments - however he turned it down in what was branded a snub to his father. Meanwhile, Princes William and Harry have not been in direct communication since the release of Harry's controversial memoir, Spare, in January 2023. Their last reported interaction was during the funeral of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, but conversations were said to be brief. The feuding brothers reportedly did not speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year. The brothers have been at loggerheads since Harry and wife Meghan quit royal duty in 2020 for a new life in the US, where they have launched a succession of barbs at the Royal Family. Growing up, Wills and Harry shared many of the same friends who were part of their close, tight-knit circle. But their relationship took a sour turn after Harry lobbed vile allegations against the Prince of Wales in his memoir Spare. In the book, he claimed William had physically attacked him and knocked him to the floor in 2019 and made insulting comments about Meghan. The Sussexes had also targeted Princess Kate, when Meghan claimed the royal made her cry. The bitter feud was ignited with full force when the Sussexes told Oprah, in their 2021 sit down interview, that certain members of the Royal Family had speculated about Prince Archie's skin colour. 11 Harry said in his BBC interview he ready to have his brother and father back Credit: AFP

Meghan Markle's wine crate sparks talk of a quiet olive branch on Queen Camilla's birthday
Credit : Mark Cuthbert/UK Press via Getty Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, chose a simple Instagram Story to mark July 17. In a short clip she opened a wooden crate holding three bottles of her own As Ever rosé, then wrote, 'Sending birthday love (both near and far) to my ladies. ' The post went up just hours after Queen Camilla turned 78, so royal watchers quickly linked the message to the day's celebrations. The clip and its timing The video showed only Meghan's hands, a small bunch of peonies and the pale-pink wine. Nothing named Camilla, yet the timing caught notice because Camilla is indeed 'far,' while many of Meghan's close friends are in California and could count as 'near.' As Ever bottles sell out fast online, so the gift looks personal rather than promotional. A busy birthday at the palace Buckingham Palace marked the Queen's birthday with a new portrait taken in her Wiltshire garden. One day earlier King Charles granted her the honorary title of Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom, making her the first woman to hold the role. The naval appointment arrived on what many called an early birthday present from the King. Signs of warmer weather The Sussexes remain estranged from much of the family, yet aides for Prince Harry and King Charles held quiet 'peace talks' last week. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing Older Women should Avoid Learn More Undo Sources say the goal was to cool public disputes, not to negotiate a return to royal duties. Prince William's advisors skipped the meeting, showing that divisions still run deep. Even so, insiders believe Harry may see his father in September when he travels to the UK for WellChild events. Why a crate of wine matters Royal historian Sarah Gristwood notes that small gestures often carry extra weight in strained relationships. A discreet gift lets both sides keep dignity while signalling goodwill. Fans on X echoed that view, flooding the Queen's portrait with heart emojis and toasting the chance of détente. The brand behind the bottle As Ever is Meghan's lifestyle label, rebranded this year from American Riviera Orchard. The rosé is made with Napa grapes in partnership with Fairwinds Estate. Early brand launches (jams) shipped in small numbered batches to friends and influencers; the rosé was sold publicly in 3‑bottle sets that sold out quickly. What happens next Neither Buckingham Palace nor Archewell commented on the post. Royal aides often let social media chatter run its course, and there is no rule against members exchanging private gifts. Still, observers will watch to see whether Camilla answers with a public thank-you or whether the moment fades quietly. For now, a few bottles of rosé and five short words have done more to stir speculation than any official statement. That may be exactly the gentle nudge both sides prefer as they test the waters of reconciliation.
