Kensington Palace has announced that the Princess of Wales will host a special reception at Windsor Castle to celebrate the Red Roses’ Rugby World Cup victory. As the patron of the Rugby Football Union, Kate Middleton will welcome the England women’s rugby team at the royal residence on Thursday.
Following their triumph in the World Cup final against Canada, where they secured a 33-13 victory in front of a record crowd at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium, the players and staff will tour the castle before joining Kate for the celebratory event. The Princess and the Prince of Wales have congratulated the team and will have the opportunity to see the World Cup trophy up close during the gathering.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry is reportedly planning to involve King Charles in a significant role at the upcoming Invictus Games in Birmingham next year, marking a potential positive development in their relationship. This move signifies a potential reconciliation between the father and son, who have had limited interactions since Harry’s decision to step back from royal duties in 2020.
Additionally, the Princess of Wales is focusing on promoting the importance of creativity in fostering connections within families and communities. Drawing from her personal experience of using nature as a healing tool during her cancer treatment, Kate aims to encourage well-being and human relationships through her patronage of arts organizations.
Meghan Markle is anticipated to make her return to the UK for the first time in four years to support Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in Birmingham. The Duchess of Sussex is set to attend the event on July 10, pending security approval, marking her first visit since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
On a different note, a former flame of Prince Harry, Catherine Ommanney, was arrested for allegedly leaving a hotel in Majorca without settling a bill amounting to nearly £450. The reality TV personality was detained on suspicion of fraud after reportedly departing the hotel without paying for a nine-day stay in Santa Ponsa.
In light of recent challenges facing the royal family, the Prince of Wales has enlisted the expertise of crisis management specialist Liza Ravenscroft to navigate through turbulent times. Ravenscroft, known for her adept crisis communication skills, has been brought in to assist the monarchy in managing public scrutiny and relationships amid ongoing challenges.
