"I just think he's been really, really busy with everything that's happened this year, Seward said. Unnamed friends told the Sunday Times newspaper Charles had found the workload surprising but had settled into his role. Charles' son and heir Prince William was photographed driving him to church in what newspapers said was a sign of a rapprochement. Then there is the family feud with his younger son Prince Harry and his American wife Meghan. But there is a generational divide, with the young far less bothered in general about the royal family.

CNN —No athlete attracts an A-list crowd quite like Lionel Messi, as demonstrated by Sunday’s Major League Soccer game between Inter Miami and Los Angeles FC.

Since moving from Paris Saint-Germain, Messi is having a huge impact on the pitch, as well as off it. Messi spoke with actor Owen Wilson after the game between LAFC and Inter Miami.

CNN —New audio has been released of Princess Diana talking about how Britain’s Prince Charles – now King Charles III – was disappointed that they were having a boy, not a girl, when Prince Harry was born. The late princess recorded a series of audio tapes in the 1990s and had them secretly delivered to author Andrew Morton before her death in a high-speed car crash in 1997. ABC’s Good Morning America got an exclusive listen to the tapes in which Diana says her husband wouldn’t even talk to her stepmother Raine Spencer. ‘Pain, Raine?’She recalled Spencer reacting by saying she had “no idea how much pain your mother put your father through.”The late Princess responded: ‘Pain, Raine? When asked if he would release more audio, Morton said, “There is global interest, but we’ll have to see what happens.”

Montecito is where Gwyneth Paltrow goes when the pressures of Brentwood are too much. Jennifer Aniston bought a $16.5 million property from Ms. Winfrey, who had not had time to use it. But it’s not just the famous who come to Montecito, it’s also the straight-up rich. Montecito is loaded with the less-recognizable names behind very recognizable things, including Ty Warner, the press-shy inventor of Beanie Babies, who lives in a rose-colored mansion with views of the whole landscape. It’s a dizzying combination of old wealth, new wealth and outrageous physical beauty that has begun to attract an ever-wider range of dreamers.

A version of this story appeared in the July 7 edition of CNN’s Royal News, a weekly dispatch bringing you the inside track on Britain’s royal family. Research in 2011 by Visit Britain found that around 60% of tourists to the UK are likely to visit places associated with the royal family, according to Ross Bennett-Cook, a visiting lecturer at the School of Architecture and Cities at London’s University of Westminster. While there is no more recent data on royal sites specifically, in 2022 Visit Britain found that history and heritage were the biggest pull factors for tourists. Peter Titmuss/UCG/Universal Images Group/Getty ImagesCornwall: Dear to local and international tourists alike, Cornwall, on the southwestern tip of the UK pointing out into the Atlantic Ocean, is also a special destination for the royal family.

☆ Inflation hits royal finances as King Charles turns down heating to save emissions

LONDON, June 29 (Reuters) - Soaring inflation has hit the finances of the British royals, pushing up expenditure, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday, as it revealed King Charles had ordered the heating in royal homes to be turned down to cut emissions. The report said 1.6 million pounds ($2 million) had been spent by the royals on the queen's funeral and related events. The British government said in May it had cost an estimated 162 million pounds overall, which includes the cost of policing and security. He said gas and heating emissions had fallen 19%, partly driven by the king having the thermostats turned down, and a 43% decrease in travel emissions. "The royals have long hidden their true cost, which we have worked out to be at least 345 million pounds.

The collaborative efforts between Spotify and Harry and Meghan has resulted in just one, 12-episode series of the podcast "Archetypes." Spotify executive Bill Simmons described Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, as "grifters" after the couple's partnership with the streaming platform came to a seemingly premature end Friday. "Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together," Spotify and Archewell Audio said in a joint statement. "Shoot this guy to the sun, I'm so tired of this guy," Simmons said on his self-titled podcast in January. Archewell Audio did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.

I have got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea.

Simmons previously criticized Harry in a January 2023 episode of his podcast, saying that he was “so embarrassed” to share Spotify with him.

Spotify and Archewell Audio, the production company started by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, have ended their partnership less than a year after her podcast, “Archetypes,” debuted on the platform, the companies announced on Friday. The companies said in a joint statement that they had “mutually agreed to part ways” and were “proud of the series” they made together. It was unclear what led to the decision or whether the podcast would continue on another platform. A spokeswoman for Archewell, a charitable foundation started by the couple, did not immediately return a request for comment on Friday. Although Harry and Meghan’s future with Spotify is uncertain, the couple has other business ventures — namely their multiyear deal with Netflix, which will see them make documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming.

☆ Opinion: These shots at Prince Harry are cheap – and telling
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-08 | by ( Opinion Holly Thomas | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —For a man whose life has been marked by ceaseless public interest in his every move, Prince Harry’s performance over the last few days has felt remarkably amateur. The issue of phone hacking by Britain’s tabloid media is far more insidious than some coverage of Harry’s testimony might suggest. In 2021, it settled phone hacking claims with other actors including Martin Clunes and David Walliams, and issued an apology. So much of Harry’s life and experience is unrelatable and apparently contradictory. But none of us is ever likely to be judged as exhaustively — or as loudly — as Prince Harry.

Prince Harry alleges that the publisher used unlawful methods to produce stories about him and others in his vicinity. Under the bright lights of the simple court room, the prince largely remained softly spoken but also seemed more confident when responding to questions. Prince Harry argued during the trial that some tabloid reporters have used the blanket term of “royal sources” to shield more nefarious practices. In representing MGN, Green forensically went through the tabloid articles in question in excruciating detail. The toll of being the first senior royal to testify in court in over 130 years appeared to emotionally push Prince Harry toward the end of proceedings.

Prince Harry’s expected testimony on Tuesday in a phone-hacking case will be the first time in over 130 years that a prominent member of Britain’s royal family is cross-examined in court. The last time it happened was in 1891, and it didn’t go well for the royal family. It was unusual then, too, for such a prominent member of the royal family — the future king, no less — to appear in court. Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, said: “You can see from reading this why it was subsequently decided that this is not something the royal family want. Furthermore, while Harry is a high-profile member of the royal family, he is no longer a working royal.

☆ Prince Harry Wages War Against Tabloids Forced to Change, if Not Retreat
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Stephen Castle | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

In his hacking lawsuit being heard in a British court, Prince Harry aims to land another blow against a tabloid industry that has long been accused of widespread privacy abuses but that has been forced in recent years to rein in its excesses. So even if Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, wins his suit against the Mirror Group Newspapers for allegedly hacking his cellphone more than a decade ago, analysts question how much of an impact a legal victory would have on publications that have already had to adapt because of hefty legal settlements, prison time for their journalists and the threat of regulation. The prince, who took the stand on Tuesday, has been at war with the raucous, freewheeling press for years. And since Britain’s phone-hacking scandal broke, it has forced a News Corporation publication to close, helped send several prominent journalists to jail, reaped hundreds of millions of pounds in legal fees and compensation for victims, and led Parliament to seriously consider regulating the industry. At the same time, the once-mighty British tabloids have been weakened by a digital revolution that has transformed the global media landscape by gutting revenue, even as the public’s appetite for celebrity news has not waned.

You’re killers,” Mr. Eichner said. One person who has excelled despite these odds is Kevin Mazur, an event photographer who co-founded the company Wire Image. In 2007, Wire Image was sold to Getty as part of what was described at the time as a $200 million deal. But Mr. Mazur continues to shoot constantly, including on Tuesday, when he was the sole photographer with full access at the Ms. Foundation gala. At the same time, the cries of victimhood by paparazzi are less likely to elicit sympathy than the ones made by a man whose mother died in a car crash fleeing from them.

London CNN —There’s no denying the echoes to the late Princess Diana’s 1997 death in a car crash in Paris. As their first public appearance since Prince Harry returned from King Charles’ coronation in London, it had initially seemed a pretty routine affair. Chris Sanchez, who was part of the royal security detail, told us they were immediately followed from the event by a dozen vehicles. It is important to note that these photographers have a professional responsibility to cover newsworthy events and personalities, including public figures such as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle,” the statement outlined. However, those images appear to show Prince Harry documenting the moment on his phone, so we may yet learn more about what exactly happened from their perspective in the future.

☆ A Royal Paradox: Harry and Meghan Seek Both Privacy and Publicity
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Mark Landler | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

When Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, decamped Britain for the United States in 2020, he portrayed it as an act of survival against a relentlessly intrusive British press. On Tuesday, after a chaotic encounter with photographers in New York City, Harry found the media glare can be just as intense in his adopted home. With details continuing to filter out about what exactly happened to Harry, Meghan and her mother, Doria Ragland, as photographers pursued them in Midtown Manhattan, the episode underscored a basic paradox in the lives of this celebrity couple: they plead for privacy, but also seek publicity, with a Netflix documentary, a tell-all memoir by Harry and public appearances that will inevitably draw cameras. The frenzy in New York is a reminder of the grievances that Harry has held for decades against the British press, which remains the primary market for paparazzi shots of him and Meghan. In 1997, his mother, Princess Diana, died in a car crash in Paris while fleeing photographers; Harry has blamed them for her death and expressed fears that history could repeat itself with his wife and family.
