The tension between Prince Harry and Prince William has grown again after reports that William had dinner with someone Harry reportedly sees as an “enemy.” This news has added fuel to the already rocky relationship between the royal brothers.
At the same time, King Charles shared a lighthearted story about his own coronation in an upcoming documentary called Coronation Girls. The show looks back at 50 young women from Canada who sailed across the Atlantic in 1953 to witness Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. In the documentary, Charles talks about his mother practicing wearing the very heavy St. Edward’s Crown, even during bath time with him and Princess Anne when they were kids.
Charles also shared a funny memory from his own coronation. He recalled being distracted by the smell of pomade—a hair product used to style his hair—applied by the palace barber. He joked that the scent stuck with him during the entire ceremony. “It was a bit much,” he said with a laugh.
While Charles shared these fond memories, Prince William was busy meeting important figures. Over the weekend, he met with former U.S. President Donald Trump, sparking headlines. Trump has publicly praised William in the past, once jokingly calling him “the good one” in comparison to Harry. Some believe this meeting might have annoyed Harry, as William continues to grow in his role as a senior royal.
Prince William also spent time volunteering at a homeless shelter, following in the footsteps of his late mother, Princess Diana, who introduced him to charity work as a child. He’s even set a big goal to help reduce homelessness in the UK within the next five years. Royal experts say William is working hard to show he’s ready to take on more responsibilities.
Meanwhile, Harry has settled in the U.S. with his wife, Meghan Markle. The couple has been focusing on their own projects, including charity work, but they are living a very different lifestyle compared to the rest of the royal family.
Royal expert Ingrid SE said, “William is becoming the kind of leader the UK needs, but Harry is happy doing his own thing in America. They’re living separate lives, and that’s okay.”
As for the Princess of Wales, she has been keeping a low profile but is expected to appear with the family during their traditional Christmas celebrations at Sandringham. Fans may catch a glimpse of her driving to the annual royal lunch at Buckingham Palace before seeing her again on Christmas Day.
There has also been a lot of talk about William’s new beard. Some people love the look, saying it suits him, while others are not so sure. Royal watchers joked that it adds balance to his appearance since he’s thinning on top.
As Christmas approaches, the royal family remains the center of public interest, with their every move closely followed. The drama, the memories, and the big plans for the future make sure there’s always something to talk about.
