During his recent trip home to the United Kingdom to attend Prince Philip's funeral, Prince Harry didn't have much time to reconnect with family members. In fact, a royal source says the Duke of Sussex didn't even see his niece and nephews during the visit. The Cambridge kids—Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, who just celebrated his third birthday—were not invited to attend the service, which was limited to 30 guests due to COVID-19 restrictions. Harry did reportedly have two private meetings with the Queen during his visit, and was see briefly talking to his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, after the service. Prince Harry recently traveled home to the United Kingdom to attend his grandfather, Prince Philip's, funeral. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, however, Harry's brief visit didn't include much face-time with other members of the royal family. In fact, according to a report from Us Weekly, he didn't get to see his niece and nephews (aka the Cambridge kids) at all during the trip. The young royals—Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, who just celebrated his third birthday on Friday, April 23—were not invited to attend the service, which was capped at 30 guests (again, due to restrictions in place amid the coronavirus pandemic). "Harry didn’t get to see [Prince] George, [Princess] Charlotte and [Prince] Louis in the U.K.," a royal source told the magazine of Harry's very isolated visit home. "Aside from the day of Philip’s funeral and meeting privately with the Queen, he was in isolation at Frogmore [Cottage]."

An expert recently came forward with news regarding Meghan Markle’s ‘high maintenance’ royal front.
The videographer who preferred to remain anonymous told Express that during one of their professional meetings with the former royal, "She was very high maintenance and rude. She was difficult and demanding."
They even shed light on some of Meghan Markle’s shocking rules, one of which included no photography of her feet.
According to the source, all of Meghan’s uptight rules and regulations got her the name “the princess” and while "People told me, 'Get ready because she is a lot'" the videographer had no clue as to the extent.
"When I saw her, right away from the moment she arrived, I didn't even know who she was and she was acting like a diva. It was the attitude, how she talked to people, the rules.”
"She came in wearing a (baseball) cap, hiding her face and she had her head down and just walked back towards the make-up room. It was like it was the big diva coming in, and she doesn't want people to see her, like you would do if you're walking in the street and you don't want the paparazzi to take your picture."
"But it was kind of like a caricature of someone playing the superstar, you know, because a real superstar, generally unless it's a super bad day, they will play it naturally and be generous with their presence."
According to the anonymous insider, one of his team members left the shoot utterly "traumatised" and so "I don't think she deserves the attention. I wasn't impressed with her and I'm just surprised she charmed the guy. She came across as very insecure and spoiled."

'True Statespeople' | Harry and Meghan behind the scenes at VAX LIVE
When we last spoke with Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans, we had no idea he was working on a top-secret event with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, J-LO and Selena Gomez. 'VAX Live: The Concert To Reunite The World' was broadcast to millions over the weekend and leveraged some pretty major star power.
With guests like Pope Francis, President Joe Biden and David Letterman, the event was the first U.S stadium concert produced in a post-pandemic world. The campaign raised more than $385 million and secured over 26 million vaccine doses to help the world's most marginalised communities.

An old picture of Meghan Markle taken in 2014, two years before she and Prince Harry met, has resurfaced – and it features Kate Middleton.
The snap shows the now Duchess holding a copy of Irish U Magazine whilst standing next to editor Denise Cash. At the time, the cover of the publication featured the Duchess of Cambridge, erroneously announcing that she was pregnant with twins.
At the time, Meghan was famous for her role in hit series Suits, and contributed to the Irish publication by writing an article on sunglasses.
The picture was first shared back in 2017, following her engagement to Prince Harry, with Denise simply captioning the photo: "So proud! Princess Meghan." She later added in her comments: "We knew her and Kate would be sisters-in-law. Look at that cover!"

On the same day that the royal engagement was confirmed, Meghan revealed to BBC's Mishal Husain how her first meeting with Kate had gone, praising the royals for welcoming her so warmly into the family.
After the couple were asked about Meghan's introduction to William and Kate, Harry said: "What was it like? It was exciting. I mean I've - you know I'd been seeing her for a period of time when I - literally didn't tell anybody at all. And then William was longing to meet her and so was Catherine, so you know being our neighbours we managed to get that in a couple of - well quite a few times now and Catherine has been absolutely..."
"Wonderful," Meghan interjected. "Amazing, as has William as well," Harry agreed. "And then my father as well."
During their first TV interview, Meghan also stated she didn't know who Harry was before meeting on a blind date.

Prince Harry got a "substantial sum" from Prince Charles after he quit royal duties, his father's spokesperson said.
The Duke of Sussex told Oprah Winfrey his family "literally cut me off financially" in the first quarter of 2020.
Accounts from the Prince of Wales' annual review show funding for the activities of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with £4.4 million ($6.1 million) assigned to the heading.
It is not clear how much of the total Harry got before the payments stopped, as Newsweek revealed, in the summer of 2020.
However, a senior Clarence House spokesperson told the BBC: "As we'll all remember in January 2020 when the duke and duchess announced that they were going to move away from the working royal family, the duke said that they would work towards becoming financially independent.
"The Prince of Wales allocated a substantial sum to support them with this transition.
"That funding ceased in the summer of last year. The couple are now financially independent."
The BBC reported Prince Harry was left $9.7 million by his mother Princess Diana after she died.
Harry and Meghan's spokesperson disputed suggestions from journalists that there was a discrepancy between the Clarence House account of the timeline and Prince Harry's.
Their spokesperson said in a statement: "You are conflating two different timelines and it's inaccurate to suggest that there's a contradiction.
"The duke's comments during the Oprah interview were in reference to the first quarter of the fiscal reporting period in the UK, which starts annually in April.
"This is the same date that the 'transitional year' of the Sandringham agreement began and is aligned with the timeline that Clarence House referenced."
Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey: "My family literally cut me off financially and I had to afford security for us. Yeah, in the first quarter of 2020."
He added: "I brought what my mum left me. And without that, we would not have been able to do this, so touching back on what my mother would think of this, I think she saw it coming. I certainly felt her presence throughout this whole process."
The financial data is the latest in an ongoing series of trans-Atlantic swipes between father and son.
