Prince William “knows that Harry cannot be trusted”
Despite the many hardships the Royal Family has endured in recent months, there seems to be no way back for the estranged brothers Prince William, 42, and Prince Harry, 39. “Prince William keeps Princess Kate and his family away from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry,” says former royal butler Paul Burrell, who worked for the royal family for over 21 years, in a recent interview with the British magazine “Closer.”
Paul Burrell further emphasizes that it seems hopeless for the Sussexes to reconcile with the Wales family. “The door to Adelaide Cottage is locked – and there is no way for Meghan and Harry to get in,” says Burrell. He makes it clear: “William knows that Harry cannot be trusted, and he doesn’t want any more turmoil in his family.” The disappointment over all the explosive revelations that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have shared with the world in recent years runs too deep.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, chats with Lleyton Hewitt
It was THE Wimbledon surprise: On Saturday, July 13, Kensington Palace announced that Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, would attend the men’s tennis final on Sunday. It was her second public appearance since undergoing abdominal surgery six months ago for a cancer diagnosis. And how she shone! In a lilac dress and with Princess Charlotte, 9, by her side, Prince William’s, 42, wife appeared in the Royal Box on Sunday, July 14.
Her sister Pippa Matthews, 40, also supported her. Kate received a standing ovation and subsequently presented the Wimbledon trophy to winner Carlos Alcaraz, 21, for the second year in a row. But just moments before, the Princess of Wales had eyes only for one man – Lleyton Hewitt, 43.
The former Australian tennis pro took a seat behind Kate with his wife Rebecca Cartwright, 40, and engaged her in conversation. The two chatted animatedly – about what is not known. Perhaps about the match, which Alcaraz won with a clear lead, or about Hewitt’s remarkable career. The former tennis star held the record as the youngest world number one from 2001 to 2022.
Olivia Munn admires Catherine, Princess of Wales
Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, used the men’s Wimbledon final on Sunday, July 14, 2024, to make her second appearance after announcing her cancer diagnosis, eagerly watching the thrilling match between Carlos Alcaraz, 21, and Novak Djokovic, 37, alongside her daughter Princess Charlotte, 9, and sister Pippa Middleton, 40.
That the Wimbledon tournament is close to Kate’s heart is no secret. And so, shortly after her arrival to roaring applause, the 42-year-old shared her excitement about her return online. “Great to be back at @Wimbledon! There’s nothing quite like the Championships,” read an Instagram post featuring six photos of Kate and Charlotte’s first moments before the grand finale.
A post that garnered thousands of likes and loving comments within minutes – even from Hollywood stars. Actress Olivia Munn, 44, who is currently battling breast cancer, commented on the post with the touching words “You are a champion” along with three white heart emojis, expressing her admiration for Kate’s strength.
