Few famous Britons, it seems, can resist the chance to be painted by Jonathan Yeo. Yet when it came to painting his latest portrait, of King Charles III, the artist had to go to the subject. Mr. Yeo rented a truck to transport his 7.5-by-5.5-foot canvas to the king’s London residence, Clarence House. There, he erected a platform so he could apply the final brushstrokes to the strikingly contemporary portrait, which depicts a uniformed Charles against an ethereal background. The painting, which will be unveiled at Buckingham Palace in mid-May, is the first large-scale rendering of Charles since he became king.

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry said Friday that he immediately arranged to go to London after his father, King Charles III, called to tell him he had cancer. “I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could," Harry told the news program “Good Morning America.” “I love my family. The palace has not revealed the type of cancer the 75-year-old king has, saying only that it was discovered during a treatment for an enlarged prostate but isn't prostate cancer. Asked if the illness could help reunify his family, Harry, speaking at an Invictus Games event near Vancouver, said, “Yeah, I'm sure." He said he has witnessed that type of galvanizing effect among the wounded service members who compete in the games the prince founded in 2014.

Prince Harry did not meet with his brother, Prince William, during a roughly 24-hour trip to Britain after Buckingham Palace announced that their father had cancer, an indication that relations between the siblings remain tense. Harry, 39, flew to London on Tuesday and visited his father, King Charles III, for a short time, but did not meet with William, 41, the heir to the throne, according to a person familiar with their schedules. The younger prince was seen at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday and was expected to return to the United States soon, the BBC reported. The king’s eldest son resumed his duties as the Prince of Wales, carrying out an honors ceremony at Windsor Castle and attending a charity fund-raiser. It was unknown what Harry and King Charles, 75, discussed during a visit that lasted between 30 and 45 minutes at Clarence House, the king’s residence in London.

The 41-year-old heir to the throne temporarily stepped away from public duties last month to help care for Kate and their children following her operation for an undisclosed condition. The Princess of Wales, formerly Kate Middleton, isn’t expected to resume public duties until April. But Charles’ cancer diagnosis earlier this week is putting extra pressure on the royal family, with the king suspending his own public appearances to focus on treatment and recovery. While receiving treatment for an unspecified form of cancer, Charles will continue with behind-the-scenes work such as reviewing and signing state papers. Harry arrived in London from California less than 24 hours after Buckingham Palace announced the king’s cancer diagnosis.

However, a royal source said there were no plans for Harry to meet his brother Prince William while he’s in London. The Sussexes emigrated to the United States after stepping away from royal duties in 2020. While the royal family are an institution, they are also a family. Prince Harry last saw his father when he attended the coronation at Westminster Abbey last May. The cancer diagnosis only 17 months into Charles’ reign has also become a moment of unity for the royal family.

This theme is something King Charles III adopted from the earliest moments of his reign. The latest cover of The Big Issue features a portrait of King Charles III, taken by celebrated British photographer Rankin to mark the launch of the Coronation Food Project. On Monday, King Charles shared his celebrations with others who were also turning 75. Another signal of the King’s birthday theme of public service came from a change you may have missed this past week. Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund will be known as the King Charles III Charitable Fund going forward.

☆ Even King Charles Is Feeling Pinched by Rising Prices

LONDON — King Charles III has vowed to streamline the royal family, which would make it less of a burden on British taxpayers. But a report on the family’s finances, released on Thursday, shows that goal remains elusive: The king had to dip into reserves to pay for swelling expenses in a year of momentous royal change. The death of Queen Elizabeth II and the inflation-fueled cost of refurbishing Buckingham Palace drove the family’s official expenses to more than 107 million pounds ($135 million) in the last financial year. That forced Charles to draw 20.7 million pounds ($26 million) from a reserve fund to cover a shortfall between the expenses and the annual grant that the family receives from the government. Charles is midway through an expensive home improvement project at Buckingham Palace, which means he and Queen Camilla are still living at his nearby residence, Clarence House.

While William didn't join in many of the university's first-week festivities, known as Freshers' Week, the two eventually became good friends. "William wasn't there for quite a bit of the time initially, he wasn't there from Freshers' Week, so it did take a bit of time for us to get to know each other, but we did become very close friends from quite early on," she said.

Finding the right early-education setting for your child in London may feel like a minefield to new parents. Nurseries aren't just evaluating children in the application process but also assessing the parents during the decision-making process, Baron said. The school emphasizes on its website that children who attend are accepted into the top selective preschools in London. "There's nothing to say they can't be moved onto more of a prep school," Smith said. The admission process: Children can start at Ducks as early as 6 months of age, but most start at 2.

The notices were handed out while a thanksgiving service for Queen Elizabeth was being held in St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, the newspaper reported. Those at risk of losing their jobs include private secretaries and people working in finance and communications roles, it added. The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) called for an "immediate halt to the redundancy process," adding that some of the employees had worked there for decades. "[The] decision to announce redundancies in the Royal Household during the period of national mourning is nothing short of heartless," the PCS said.
