SCOTLAND—In an abrupt about-face, King Charles III of the United Kingdom announced on Friday that he was downgrading Donald J. Trump’s state visit to lunch with Prince Andrew.

Instead of Scotland, where the state visit was to be held, the lunch between Andrew and Trump will now occur at a Pizza Express restaurant in Woking.

According to royal sources, Andrew was “incandescent with rage” when his older brother informed him of the engagement, but the King told him, “Sorry, chap, you’ve got to take one for the team.”

After Andrew asked what he and Trump could possibly talk about over their pizza, Charles suggested, “Maybe you two can reminisce about your good times with your mutual friend Jeffrey.”

Meghan shares video on American Riviera Orchard's Instagram
Meghan Markle has suffered a setback regarding the launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard (ARO), reports have claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex's latest business venture was anticipated to hit the shelves at some point in the near future, however, a trademark setback has reportedly put its launch on hold.

According to the Daily Mail, records in July showed that there were "irregularities" to be "corrected" regarding ARO's trademark, four months after it was requested to register it to the US Patents and Trademarks Office - the agency responsible for granting US patents and registering trademarks.

The outlet claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lawyers have been notified of the various issues regarding ARO's trademark, which include "incorrect classification of yoga blankets, picnic baskets and recipe books", with the fees, said to total around £9,000 ($11,382), due to various bodies around the world.

But the Daily Express understands that while American Riviera Orchard has received several Notices of Irregularity requesting clarifications on goods and services, as well as the reclassification of certain items, these are entirely normal and expected when filing international applications. All fees associated with these notices have already been paid by Meghan and no further action is required at this time.

Zara Tindall's Explosive Takedown of Meghan Markle: 'She's an Absolute Disaster!'
In a shocking and unexpected twist, Zara Tindall, Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter, has stepped into the spotlight with explosive comments about the ongoing royal family feud. During a riveting appearance on her husband Mike Tindall’s widely-followed YouTube talk show, Zara broke her characteristic silence, delivering blistering critiques of Meghan Markle that are certain to reverberate through the corridors of Buckingham Palace.
The interview, which has already taken the internet by storm, began with a seemingly benign discussion about family life and the upcoming Platinum Jubilee celebrations. However, the atmosphere quickly grew charged when Mike broached the controversial topic of the royal family’s internal discord.
“Everyone’s been skirting around this issue, but I have to ask—what’s your take on the whole Meghan Markle situation?” Mike inquired with a serious tone.
Zara’s response was nothing short of incendiary. “Meghan? Oh, don’t even get me started,” she began, her expression darkening. “That woman is an absolute disaster, and I’m frankly stunned she’s managed to cling to the royal family for as long as she has.”
The audience was left in stunned silence, riveted by Zara’s uncharacteristically forthright declaration. Mike, sensing the gravity of the moment, urged her to elaborate. “Can you be more specific?”
Taking a deep breath, Zara unleashed a torrent of criticism. “Meghan has been nothing but trouble since day one. She’s arrogant, manipulative, and has zero respect for our traditions and values. The way she’s treated our grandmother, the Queen, is simply unforgivable.”
Zara’s sharp and unexpected candor sent shockwaves through the royal enthusiast community. As the interview progressed, her criticisms only grew more intense.
“Meghan has failed at every turn. She can’t even manage a simple royal engagement without stirring up scandal or drama. And the way she and Harry have continuously thrown the family under the bus with their endless interviews and tell-all books—it’s disgusting,” Zara said, her frustration palpable.
When Mike pressed her on specific grievances, Zara did not hold back. “The Oprah interview, the baseless accusations of racism, the incessant whining about the difficulties of royal life—it’s all so self-serving and ridiculous. Meghan is nothing but a fame-hungry manipulator who has used our family to advance her own agenda.”
Zara’s scathing words echoed the sentiments of many loyal royal supporters who have grown increasingly disillusioned with the Sussexes' public airing of grievances. However, her willingness to speak so openly against Meghan, a member of her own family, marked a significant and dramatic escalation in the royal rift.
As the interview drew to a close, Mike asked Zara if she had any final thoughts. “Look, I know Meghan has a lot of fans out there, and some people might see this as me being mean or petty. But at the end of the day, I’m loyal to my family, and I won’t stand by and watch as someone tries to tear it apart. Meghan had her chance, and she blew it. It’s time for her to step back and let the rest of us move on.”
The interview has ignited a firestorm on social media, with royal watchers and critics alike weighing in on Zara’s bold statements. Some have lauded her for her honesty and fierce loyalty to the family, while others have condemned her as harsh and out of touch.
Regardless of public opinion, Zara Tindall’s explosive comments have undoubtedly poured fuel on the fire of the ongoing royal feud, highlighting the deep and bitter divisions within the House of Windsor.

Princess of Wales says she's making ‘good progress’ in cancer treatment, will attend a public event
Story by Jill Lawless And Danica Kirka • 14m

LONDON (AP) — The Princess of Wales said Friday she is “making good progress” in her cancer treatment and will attend King Charles III 's ceremonial birthday parade on Saturday, Kate’s first public appearance since her diagnosis.

The 42-year-old wife of Prince William has not made any public appearances this year. She announced in March that she was undergoing chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer.

“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” Kate said in a statement released Friday, adding that she faces “a few more months” of treatment.

“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet,” Kate said.

The announcement is a significant milestone, but does not mark a return to full-time public duties for Kate. The palace issued a new photo of Kate, taken in Windsor earlier this week, showing her next to a tree, dressed casually in jeans and a blazer.

The palace said the king was “delighted” that Kate will attend Trooping the Color, also known as the King’s Birthday Parade. It is an annual military parade that marks the monarch’s official birthday in June. King Charles III, who also is being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer, is due to oversee the ceremony, in which troops in full dress uniform parade past the king with their ceremonial flag, or “color.”

Kate is expected to travel in a horse-drawn carriage from Buckingham Palace with the couple’s children — Prince George, 10; Princess Charlotte, 9; and Prince Louis, who is 6 — before watching the ceremony from a building beside the parade ground. She may also join other royals for a traditional Buckingham Palace balcony appearance.
Kate’s announcement in March came after speculation proliferated on social media about her well being and absence from public view. She has revealed few details about her illness, which was discovered after what she described as major abdominal surgery in January.

In a March video message, Kate said the diagnosis had come as “a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

On Friday, Kate thanked members of the public, saying she had been “blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement.”

“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal,” she said. “Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.”

Charles, 75, disclosed his cancer in February, and has recently eased back into public duties. He attended commemorations this week for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe on June 6, 1944.

Charles is likely to travel to Saturday’s event by carriage with Queen Camilla and is expected to watch the ceremony seated on a dais, rather than on horseback as he did last year.
