Prince Harry is emerging from a significant week, and it seems he may have resolved one issue only to create another, according to one royal commentator.

From Berkshire to Buckingham's Jane Barr suggests Harry is now longing for his former life. "This must have been very emotional for Harry, who is obviously desperate to return to his old life," Barr wrote in her Substack. "He was raised at Highgrove, after all. I bet this whole trip makes him more angsty than ever," she continued, as per the Daily Express.

Where things go from here remains uncertain, but Harry is most likely savouring the moment, appreciating it for what it is an opportunity for his children to spend quality time with their grandfather. As for what lies ahead, Harry is set to appear on the Joe Marler Will See You Now podcast on Monday, July 13, where the Duke may well drop some intriguing hints about what transpired at Highgrove and what the future might hold.

Addressing the Centre Court crowd after his win, Sinner said there is no better place to play tennis than Wimbledon, spoke of the warm weather and paid tribute to the ball boys and ball girls.

He said: There has been a couple of very, very warm days, no rain for the first time, which is amazing, but I would love to thank all the ball kids and ball boys for everything you do.

You make our life on court as simple as possible, so thank you. Thanks (to the) whole organisation behind the scenes, this is truly the most special tournament we have throughout the year.

Royal author Rob Shuter has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan's reunion with King Charles III was not the rousing success or the kingly capitulation that some may have suggested.

As per the Express, Shuter said: "Dont believe the hype. This wasnt a surrenderit was a grandfather wanting to see his grandchildren. People are confusing compassion with capitulation."

On Friday (July 10), Harry and Meghan took their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to visit Charles and Queen Camilla at their private residence in Gloucestershire. The visit marked the first time Charles, 77, had seen Meghan, 44, or his grandchildren since 2022. Buckingham Palace described it as a "private family occasion".

Quoting a royal source, Shuter continued: "There was no official photograph. No public embrace. No balcony moment. No joint statement declaring a new chapter. No announcement restoring Harrys role. No change to security arrangements. No constitutional shift. The monarchy gave away absolutely nothing."

"If Buckingham Palace wanted the world to see this as a reconciliation, there would have been a picture," they added. "The fact that there wasnt tells you everything you need to know."

Jannik Sinner was still carrying around his trophy in the hours after beating Alex Zverev.

He stopped to have a quick chat with the two royal kids, after their mum presented him with the trophy. He asked George if he was still playing tennis, to which the 12-year-old responded: Yeah, very much so.

George and Charlotte told Sinner that they play tennis on the weekends.

The Princess of Wales told Jannik Sinner that it is really inspiring for Prince George and Princess Charlotte to watch tennis played at his level, as she congratulated the Italian sportsman on his Wimbledon victory.

The number one seed held his trophy as he chatted to the Waleses at the All England Club. Kate told the sportsman: Youve had such a fantastic tournament so really, really well done. Hope you get a good break after this.

The princess later added: Its really inspiring for the children to see tennis at that level.

William met with Ethan Langley and Martha Pearce, who work as court services attendants, before the match.

Ethan said that during his conversation with William, the prince said he was thankful the tournament had had such good weather.

(William) was just really thankful for having such a good champs and really, really good weather, and he expects it to keep going on like this for the next couple of years, he said.

He said it was pretty uncommon, and we havent had it like this before and that I think he just expects more of the same things for years to come to us.

Martha said William had said it was great that it had been so warm, before asking her whether she thought it will be more or less rainy next year.

Prince William claimed England's nervy World Cup victory over Norway was 'never in doubt'.

Taking to X moments after the final whistle, the football-loving royal wrote: "Well done England!

"Top performance in a tough environment. This is a special team.

"Commiserations to a proud Norway team. Onto the semi final Never in doubt!"

The Queens former chef says one of the reasons behind Prince Harry and his family not staying at Buckingham Palace could be down to catering.

The Duke was forced to hastily look for a place to sleep after being told he could not stay at the royal residence.

It came after his spokesman announced on Monday morning that he had finally accepted an offer to stay for his visit last week.

Darren McGrady, who has cooked for all the family, said food may be behind the decision.

Buckingham Palace is going through its major restoration - no one is there, and all the chefs, for the most part, have gone, he told royal website CheatSheet.

It would be a major operation to suddenly, at the very last minute, bring in a team of chefs and prepare the food. It wouldnt just be chefs, but also bringing in the maids, security, and footmen. I do see the point in what theyre saying with regards to Harry coming and staying at the Palace.

Retired pro tennis player Andy Murray is reminding people why Kate Middleton is a central figure to Wimbledon.

The 39-year-old British star, who retired in August 2024, told Hello Magazinethat he believes having the royals, like the Princess of Wales, 44, in the Wimbledon audience is a big part of the London-based tournaments identity.

I think it means a lot to the players and to tennis fans to see the royal family at Wimbledon, the Olympic medalist said. Its part of the tradition of Wimbledon and the fans really like that, especially the overseas fans.

Reflecting on his visit to Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital Harry told The Sun: Places like Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and Fisher House remind us that recovery is never something anyone does alone.

Behind every wounded, injured or sick service person is a network of extraordinary medical professionals, families, carers and charities who help carry them through the hardest days. The care provided here goes far beyond treating physical injuries.

Its about restoring confidence, rebuilding lives and making sure families can stay close when they are needed most. Fisher House plays a vital role in that journey, lifting some of the financial burden that comes with long periods of treatment so families can focus on what really matters being together.

While at Birminghams Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Harry toured Fisher House a home situated in the grounds opened by his father, King Charles, in 2013. Fisher House provides military families with somewhere to stay as their loved ones recovered.

Canadian tennis player Gabriela Dabrowski, who will play in the ladies doubles final on Centre Court on Sunday, met Kate at the championships on Saturday afternoon.

The tennis player said: I guess someone told her, so she acknowledged that and just said it was amazing that I was still playing going through treatment, and she said it was very inspirational, which I feel the same likewise with her story as well.

Just a very beautiful moment. I didnt expect to be emotional, but yeah, very strange feeling.

Ms Fontanilla said: Shes so genuine. It felt so easy. I thought I was going to be really nervous, but she made it so easy. The conversation was very natural.

She added: Looking at her through the doors, it was just: Oh my gosh, shes here, and then I overheard her with the other conversations, it just felt so natural, and it put peace over me.

And then when she was right there, reaching out to shaking my hand, I was like: Oh my gosh, which hand, which hand?, and then I got there, and she was just, oh, that smile. It just brings you back, and shes so genuine.

The conversation was just so lovely. Shes a peoples princess, everyone says shes one of the people, and I love it.
