Royal family – news: Prince Harry responds to UK return rumours as Kate and William prepare for key milestone

Harry, 39, was said to have kept a distance from his brother Prince William, but he remained “on remarkably good form” on his unexpected visit to the UK.

An anonymous attendee told People: “Most people were astounded that Harry came.

“He was on remarkably good form – and you could tell he was very pleased to see everybody. And he was very pleased that he had come over.”

Lord Fellowes, who was married to Princess Diana’s sister, passed away in July at the age of 82.

Following the claim that the Princess of Wales is “excited” to return to duty, an insider has said Prince William is “pretty anxious” at the prospect.

The insider added to Life & Style: “She’s the type of person that’s happiest when she’s busy and working, so he’s being very supportive, even if it’s got him stressing over whether she’s jumping back in too quickly.”

A royal expert has claimed that the Duchess of Sussex will only return to the UK if she can “take some of the jobs that Catherine has.”

This comes almost four years after she and Prince Harry moved to California after stepping down as working royals, citing a desire for privacy and to live a more independent life.

Royal biographer Angela Levin claimed that the duchess is “jealous” of the Princess of Wales and wants a “big house and lots of money”.

She told GB News: “Meghan is not going to come, except if she could take some of the jobs that Catherine has.

“She once complained that she thought it was shocking that they weren’t paid for each thing that they did. I think it would be a disaster.”

The opening of the Dyson Cancer Centre at Royal United Hospitals Bath this afternoon was marked with a plaque to celebrate the occasion.

It was also an opportunity for the queen to provide an update on King Charles’s own battle against the disease and she said he is doing “very well”.

The queen said: “Can I congratulate all of you on this wonderful centre.

“I’ve had a very brief tour around but everybody I’ve met, whether its patients or families or the nursing staff and the helpers, all seem to be over the moon about it.

“It’s got a very welcoming atmosphere, and you can see that it actually raises people’s spirits in very difficult times.”

The monarch took the time to attend as he enjoyed his summer break with his family at the Balmoral estate.

Alongside the photographs, the Palace wrote: “This weekend, The King visited the Royal Horticultural Society of Aberdeen’s Flower Show at Duthie Park.

“Marking the 200th anniversary of the summer flower show, The King met exhibitors and RHSA members and viewed floral displays, including vegetables entered in the National Vegetable Society Scottish Group competition.”

William, 42, established the prize in 2021 to recognise people who are making an impact in protecting the environment and gives them £1m to help support their work.

Irwin said: “The Earthshot Prize is a beacon of hope for all of us who care about the environment and about our ability to ensure a liveable future for ourselves and future generations.

“Healthy oceans, ecosystems and species equal a healthy planet, and the Earthshot Prize recognises the importance of investing in and helping grow solutions that protect these critical resources.”

When asked if the monarch’s was doing okay, the queen consort replied: “Yes, he’s doing very well.”

Charles announced that he had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year after undergoing a routine procedure for an enlarged prostate.

She spoke to patients at the Dyson Cancer Centre and even posed for a picture with a wellwisher on her first engagement since the royal family’s summer break at Balmoral.

As part of this afternoon’s schedule, the queen consort also visited Stonegate Farmers, a new packing facility for free-range and organic eggs in Lacock.

The insider told Life & Style: “[She] can’t wait to reconnect with the public and get back in the swing of things as far as taking on more engagements and attending meetings and helping out with royal business.

“She’s so looking forward to getting away from things revolving so much around medical procedures and doctors’ visits.”

Queen Camilla has been photographed arriving at the Dyson Cancer Centre at Royal United Hospitals Bath.

She wore a green dress for the occasion, having recently returned from Balmoral, Scotland, where the royal family enjoyed their summer break.

This will undoubtedly be a poignant visit for the queen, whose husband, King Charles, and daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, are currently battling the disease.
