Prince William’s trip with Taylor Swift shows he’s a ‘brilliant’ father, friend says

Dad dances

Prince William’s visit to Taylor Swift’s concert with Prince George and Princess Charlotte was “a fantastic illustration of what a brilliant father William is,” according to a friend of William and Kate’s speaking to the Daily Beast.

The friend said: “It’s been an incredibly difficult year for the whole family. The children were amazing and it was a fantastic illustration of what a brilliant father William is to see him there.

The friend added that the adorable Father’s Day photo of William and the children jumping off a dune in Norfolk, taken by Kate, was another sign of William’s dedication to his children. “It’s great to see this side of him publicly,” the friend said.

The visit to Taylor Swift’s concert came after soldiers guarding Buckingham Palace played the tune of “Shake it Off” during the changing of the guard on Friday.

Why the Harry/Camilla feud is still relevant

THE New York Times Best-selling royal writer Christopher Andersen has said he believes there is still significant tension between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles, over Harry’s attitude towards his stepmother Camilla.

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Andersen said Harry “still resented” Camilla and that by saying “some pretty devastating things about her” he had “indicated that he felt she was the bad guy of the room”.

He added: “I think it still bothers the king, and I don’t know if it will be easy for him to (forgive).” I don’t think they’ll ever forgive Harry for that.

In his book SpareHarry accused Camilla of ruthlessly plotting to become queen and selling it out to the media in order to get better media coverage herself in pursuit of that goal.

In SpareHarry said Camilla “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar” and described her as “dangerous”.

In remarks to Anderson Cooper on the show 60 minutes To promote the book, which reportedly earned Harry some $27 million, Harry said: “With a family built on hierarchy and with her on her way to becoming queen consort, there would be people or bodies left in the street . .”

Andersen’s comments align with the Daily Beast’s understanding of Charles’ anger toward his son for publicly attacking his wife.

“Harry made things very difficult for himself by saying such cruel and hurtful things about Camilla,” a friend of Camilla’s told The Daily Beast. “Charles loves his sons, but he also loves his wife. The last few months have shown very clearly how important it is; it was she who supported the whole building.

“Harry made it very clear, very public, that he despised her. He forced Charles to choose, which was a very stupid thing to do because he and Camilla chose each other a long time ago.

“William had reservations, but he accepted his father’s choice and continued. Harry made a different decision, and one of the inevitable consequences of publicly calling your stepmother cruel names is that it becomes difficult for you to see your father.

Another source, a friend of William and Kate, recently told the Daily Beast: “It’s no surprise that Charles didn’t invite Harry over for tea and a scone.” After all, he portrayed his wife as an evil, calculating bitch in the best-selling book since the Bible. (Spare in fact, it broke records as the best-selling nonfiction book.)

Andersen added: “There’s really no predictable way to welcome them back. Even if Harry threw himself at the king’s feet and begged for forgiveness – which Harry is not about to do – the best he could hope for would be crumbs from the royal table and the kind of begrudging acceptance that is currently granted to Prince Andrew.

Charles’ trip to New Zealand ‘cancelled’

Courtiers at Buckingham Palace have reportedly canceled the New Zealand leg of King Charles’ southern hemisphere trip later this year as the monarch continues to battle cancer.

They hope, however, that the king will be able to undertake a modified tour of Australia and attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference in Samoa, despite his continued battle with illness.

A source told Mirror: “Naturally it will be a bitter disappointment on both sides not to have the opportunity for the King and Queen to visit New Zealand, but of course all are aware of the current state of health of the King and of the need for him to take his time. We sincerely hope that there will be other opportunities in the future.

This report should be taken seriously, because it is usually a few months before these trips that the wide circle of people involved in the logistics and security of these tours begin to receive their orders.

THE Mirror also indicated that the Australian tour was reduced to six days, including a two-day break, followed by the Samoa visit, which would last three days.

Camilla reportedly feared that Charles’s pace of work would endanger his chances of success in his fight against cancer. “She tried to encourage him to slow down,” a friend of the queen told The Daily Beast. “Of course he wants to keep cracking up, but she’s afraid that doing too much might set him back.”
