Britain's king and its future king have reportedly closed ranks on one point, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not act on behalf of the Crown, even as the couple's return to England continues to generate friction inside and outside the palace. Author Russell Myers told People magazine that King Charles, 77, and Prince William, 44, are "completely united on the Sussexes not representing the royal family." The statement, published in a Tuesday cover story, went further: Myers said William will "have no relationship with them, in a working or private capacity whatsoever."

Andersen writes that Charles and Camilla each had a royal monogram consisting of interlocking C's beneath a crown, and they told Kate that a third royal cypher starting with "C" amounted to "overkill." Their suggestion: would she mind spelling her formal name "Katherine" instead of "Catherine"? She would…Open

A viral video from Glasgow's Commonwealth Games caught Princess Kate doing what millions of mothers do every weekend: making the whole family wait in the car while she finished one more conversation.

Britain's future king will follow his father's footsteps into the elite boarding school this September, but navigating adolescence under the glare of social media presents challenges Prince William never faced. Kensington Palace officially confirmed that Prince George, 13, will attend Eton College starting this fall, ending months of speculation about whether the young royal would choose the storied all-boys school or Marlborough College, his mother's alma mater. George currently attends Lambrook, a private prep school in Berkshire near the family's Windsor home. The decision carries weight beyond school choice. Eton, founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, has educated 20 British prime ministers and generations of royals, including Prince…Open
