Kate Middleton sends touching letter to actor with cancer – latest news

King Charles seems to be diversifying his interests by launching a limited edition whisky, priced at £250 per bottle, made from barley sourced from his Highgrove estate.

The Highgrove Royal Gardens Single Malt is a limited offering, with only 400 bottles available, making it the most expensive whisky from the estate.

The Princess of Wales recently connected with Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala, both of whom are cancer survivors.

Koirala, who has overcome stage IV ovarian cancer, received a heartfelt letter from the Princess of Wales congratulating her on her recovery and return to work.

She said: “I wanted to reach out to HRH The Princess of Wales to send my good wishes. I am deeply heartened to receive such a warm response from her.

“I want to use my voice to not only support cancer patients but also to raise awareness about the need for equitable healthcare access and the importance of knowing the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. Having faced cancer myself, I know how isolating and challenging the journey can be, and I believe it is essential that we all play a part in changing that reality for others.

Kate, now cancer-free and back to her royal duties, has not revealed the specific type of cancer she faced, which needed major abdominal surgery earlier this year.

King Charles could have a trusted ally in Princess Eugenie to quietly ask about Prince Harry’s wellbeing amid their strained relationship, a royal expert said.

According to Jennie Bond, Eugenie’s close bond with Harry since his departure from royal duties in 2020 made her a bridge between father and son.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Ms Bond said: “Charles does have someone he can ask about Harry’s wellbeing if he is inclined.”

While she cautioned that a reconciliation seems unlikely at this time, she said that any effort to mend ties would need a starting point, which could be Eugenie.

The royal expert claimed the challenge Eugenie faces in maintaining good relationships with both Harry and Meghan is big. However, she suggested that the King might appreciate that Harry still has at least one royal cousin he trusts and wishes to see more of.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have purchased a property near Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank’s holiday home in Portugal, potentially furthering their connection.

The former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair has given a withering assessment of Meghan Markle, claiming she is “flawless about getting it all wrong”.

Tina Brown, who led the magazine from for eight years until 1992, is no stranger to ranting about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, having previously dubbed the couple as being “addicted to drama” and branding their exit from the royal family as a “disaster”.

While King Charles and Queen Camilla enjoyed a nine-day royal tour in Australia and Samoa, other members of the Royal Family remained busy at home with their own engagements.

During the King and Queen’s visit, which spanned from 18-26 October, Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, and the Duchess of Edinburgh undertook 12 royal duties.

The packed agenda last week say Princess Anne make a trip to Edinburgh on Saturday, and the Duchess of Edinburgh visit Swansea.

Prince William’s documentary focused on homelessness is set to air on Disney+, just as his brother Prince Harry prepares to release a polo-themed series on Netflix.

The Prince of Wales, 42, has participated in a two-part ITV series titled Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, aiming to shed light on his commitment to addressing the issue.

The documentary will premiere on ITV first on Wednesday and Thursday, with international audiences able to stream it on Disney+ starting 1 November.

On streaming rival Netflix, Prince Harry’s latest series promises “an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look” at the sport of kings. Polo, a five-part series co-produced by Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Productions, is scheduled for release in December.

While the Duke of Sussex is not expected to play a central role in front of the camera, he was filmed playing polo in Florida earlier this year to support his charity, Sentebale.

The series was primarily shot during the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, and aims to give viewers “unprecedented access” to the world of professional polo, as Team Sussex highlighted.

Tom Parker Bowles has lifted the lid on the cooking of his mother, Queen Camilla, and the meals they ate at home while he was growing up.

Describing Camilla as a “good, basic cook”, he said she perfected slow-cooked scrambled eggs (always on the Aga) and roast chicken – but steered clear of all spice and curries.Never following a recipe, she relied on “very, very simple food” while providing meals for Tom and his sister Laura at their home near Chippenham in Wiltshire.
