LONDON, April 26 (Reuters) - Prince Harry is not criticising his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth, or Britain's royal family over a "secret agreement" with Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper arm, his lawyer told London's High Court on Wednesday. His lawyer David Sherborne told the court on Wednesday that Harry did not bring his lawsuit previously because of the agreement with NGN, which denies its existence. Sherborne said Harry was "told more" about phone hacking in 2012, when Harry says in his witness statement that he was told his voicemails had been intercepted, "but that was essentially dealt with by his family ... and their solicitor". "This is no criticism of the queen or his family," Sherborne said. Harry, who now lives in California with his family, was not in court, but watched proceedings by video link, Sherborne said.

Coronations at Westminster Abbey go back almost one thousand years. Like Charles III, William had his coronation at Westminster Abbey. Gross says coronation blunders do not become truly significant for monarchs until their reign starts to go wrong. A “beautiful and symbolic” silver cross containing a piece of the so-called True Cross will lead King Charles’ coronation procession in London next month. Meanwhile, gun salutes will sound from military bases and ships at sea to mark the moment Charles is crowned King.

While many other European monarchies have come and gone, or are far diminished in scale and importance, the British royal family has remained remarkably resilient. Republic, a group that wants to abolish the monarchy, has pointed to a poll which showed a majority of people were not interested in the coronation. RELEVANCE"Relevance is absolutely crucial to the monarchy," said Robert Hardman, a long-time royal correspondent and author of 'Queen of our Times'. But, in return, the royals are considered public property with an expectation that they play the press "game" in return for gilded lives in palaces. "Monarchs and their families need the media just as the media need them," Harshan Kumarasingham, senior lecturer in British politics at the University of Edinburgh.

LONDON, March 17 (Reuters) - Prince Harry will on Friday seek to win his libel claim against publisher Associated Newspapers without the case going to trial, his lawyer said, as the British royal steps up his legal battles against the tabloid press. Harry, King Charles' younger son, sued Associated Newspapers last year over an article in its Mail on Sunday newspaper that alleged he tried to keep secret details of his separate legal fight with Britain’s government over his security arrangements. London's High Court ruled in July that the Mail report was defamatory, paving the way for Harry to take the case forward against one of Britain’s biggest media publishers. Later this month, there is due to be a hearing in another case he has brought with singer Elton John and others against Associated Newspapers over allegations of phone-tapping and other privacy breaches.

REUTERS/Dylan MartinezLONDON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - The final three episodes of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan's Netflix documentary series air on Thursday, with more criticism expected to be directed at the British royals just as King Charles and his family gather for a Christmas carol service. "I wonder what would have happened to us had we not got out when we did," Harry says in a trailer. Newspapers have also cited former unnamed royal aides challenging the couple's narrative in the documentaries, saying there were inaccuracies in their accounts. Both Buckingham Palace and William's office, Kensington Palace, have said they would not be commenting on the documentaries. The service will also be dedicated to the late Queen Elizabeth, whose funeral was held in the Abbey in September.

"No one knows the full truth," Harry, 38, says in a trailer. It may be their truth but it certainly isn't one recognised by millions in this country," its editorial said. Within two years, amid rifts with royal aides as well as with Harry's brother William and his wife Kate, they quit their royal roles and moved to California to start new lives. I didn't want history to repeat itself," Harry says in one of the Netflix trailers. Polls indicate the majority of older people in Britain strongly dislike the couple, while younger Britons are much more sympathetic.

REUTERS/Andrew KellySummary Harry and Meghan documentary series releasedNewspapers scathing, call it 'act of war'LONDON, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Prince Harry said it was his duty to expose the "exploitation and bribery" of the media, saying members of the British royal family regarded the harassment of his wife Meghan as being a rite of passage. In the first episodes of the couple's much anticipated Netflix documentary series, Harry, who stepped down from royal duties two years ago with Meghan, said he accepted people would fundamentally disagree with that he had done. In the documentary, Harry draws comparisons with Meghan's treatment and the intense media intrusion that his mother Princess Diana had suffered. "This is about duty and service and I feel as though, being part of this family, it is my duty to uncover this exploitation and bribery that happens within our media," Harry said.

Quinn Miller started his vending machine business as a side hustle in 2020. That spring, I read on Twitter about someone making passive income by placing vending machines in office buildings. I only have to work six hours a week on vending machine operations. One vending machine business owner, for example, has 21 locations but only pays one venue 15% of his monthly profits. Vending machines are heavy and dangerous to move, so it's hard to fit them into tight spaces.

BOSTON, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Prince William greeted U.S. President Joe Biden at the waterfront in Boston on Friday, part of a three-day visit by British royals trying to focus attention on tackling environmental issues. On Friday afternoon, William smiled as he met Biden outdoors in cold weather along Boston's waterfront. [1/5] U.S. President Joe Biden meets Britain's Prince William, Prince of Wales at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. December 2, 2022. Kate and William last visited the United States in 2014, when they were guests of then-President Barack Obama at the White House. In contrast, William and Kate are usually portrayed in the British media as dutiful and earnest, reflecting the style of the late queen.

"The royal family are a competitive bunch, they always have been and always will be," royal biographer Andrew Morton told Reuters. "Prince William is the future king, Prince Harry no longer has a royal role. William and Kate will visit Boston, primarily to attend an awards ceremony for the Earthshot environmental prize which the prince set up. In contrast, William and Kate are portrayed in the British media as dutiful and earnest, encapsulating the style of monarchy set by the late queen. "I can tell you that Americans have never been as enthusiastic about the royal family as they are now," said Morton, who was in California to promote his latest book "The Queen".

The Queen set a high bar when it came to striking the right tone, said Elizabeth Holmes, author of 'HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style'.

The late monarch's horses won more than 1,800 races and her annual presence at Royal Ascot and the Epsom Derby reflected a deep personal interest as much as carrying out royal duty. "I'm sure if the queen had not been bred into being a monarch she would have found a vocation with horses. Nicky Henderson, another royal trainer, also told the Racing Post how the queen had watched one of her horses win a race on television. The queen's horses won all the British classics with the exception of the Derby, the most prestigious of all. Queen Elizabeth attended every edition of the Royal Windsor Horse Show since its inception 79 years ago, including in May.
