Davina Morley, the woman many royal watchers once believed King Charles would marry, has died at 75 after a short illness, closing a chapter in the monarchy's romantic history that helped shape the path to the throne. Morley, born Davina Sheffield, died on September 2 with her three sons, Tom, Billy, and Henry, by her side. A celebration of life is planned for November at her local church in Gloucestershire, roughly 15 miles from the King's own home at Highgrove. The Daily Mail reported the news, drawing on friends and royal commentators who described the relationship as one of Charles's most serious before his eventual marriage to Princess Diana in 1981. An unnamed friend told the paper plainly: "She and Charles were wonderful…Open

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan to leave California and relocate outside London with their two children this fall, a move that has drawn sharply divided reactions from Londoners and royal watchers alike.

The family will not resume working royal duties. They will not live in a royal residence. And they will keep their Montecito home and a property in Portugal. By every official…Open

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly brought their two children to a secluded private island off Scotland's northwest coast during their latest UK trip, a stay arranged just 150 miles from King Charles's Balmoral estate. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, stayed on Tanera Mor, the largest of the Summer Isles, Hello! Magazine reported . The island is owned by Ian Wace, the 63-year-old co-founder of hedge fund Marshall Wace, who purchased it in 2017 for £1.7 million and has since poured roughly £100 million into transforming it. The trip came during a broader UK visit in which Harry marked the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games in Birmingham. Harry and Meghan also…Open

King Charles III's longtime principal private secretary will step down next year, but royal watchers say the move changes nothing about the deep credibility gap Prince Harry must bridge before any real reconciliation can happen. Sir Clive Alderton, one of the most senior figures in the British Royal Household, will leave his post as principal private secretary to King Charles and Queen Camilla in May 2027, Page Six reported this week. The announcement immediately sparked speculation that Harry, 41, might find the palace doors easier to open without the courtier he once mocked in print. That speculation ran into a wall almost as fast as it started. Royal insider Kinsey Schofield, speaking exclusively to Page Six on Tuesday, dismissed the…Open

Prince Harry wrapped up a visit to the United Kingdom last week without seeing his older brother. The two were roughly twelve miles apart in London on the same day, and never crossed paths. Whatever reconciliation may be underway inside the House of Windsor, it plainly does not yet extend to the heir to the throne. The gap between the brothers on July 7 tells the story in miniature. Harry attended an event at Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs. William, meanwhile, visited the London Welsh School in West London. Twelve miles of city separated them. Neither closed the distance. USA TODAY reported that William spent the surrounding week on a packed schedule of public engagements, riding a funicular railway, playing…Open
