Harry and Meghan issue a defiant statement as King Charles unveils his official portrait

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent three days in the country to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games for Prince Harry.

While there, Meghan described Nigeria as her “country” after a DNA test showed she was 43 percent Nigerian.

The couple described the tour, which took place as private citizens, as “wonderful” and said it would be “the first of many unforgettable trips”.

They now have to confront the problems their charity, the Archewell Foundation, is facing in America after the state of California declared them “delinquent” while they were abroad.

This was reportedly due to a $200 check getting lost in the mail, which a representative confirmed has now been reissued.

But until the problem is resolved, the Archewell Foundation cannot distribute or collect funds.

The technique was demonstrated by the Duke of Sussex, 39, in the documentary broadcast on Apple TV I am the one you cannot seeHe explained that he uses it to help him overcome symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Percussion therapy, as the name suggests, involves patients or therapists tapping on the body to create what is known as “bilateral stimulation.”

This instead activates both sides of the brain and is thought to have a calming effect.

Dr Charlotte Russell, a clinical psychologist, conducted a poll on its popularity in the last five years and found that 84% of respondents agreed that demand for psychotherapy has increased in this time – with 16% strongly agreeing.

“I think Prince Harry’s openness about therapy and EMDR is one of the other things that has contributed to the attitude towards psychotherapy changing and it becoming more normalized,” she said.

Georgia Lawrie, 31, was awarded the King’s Gallantry Medal, awarded for “exemplary acts of bravery”, for her actions in Mexico in June 2021.

The twins, from Berkshire, England, jumped to rescue their sister after a guide wrongly told their group it was safe to swim in a river off Lake Manialtepec in Puerto Escondido.

He recalled the incident times“I drew this deep strength from somewhere, from her, from my love for Melissa, and eventually the alligator moved away,” Lori said.

The King has unveiled the first completed official portrait of himself since the coronation, which includes one detail Charles suggested added.

This portrait, by British artist Jonathan Yeo, was commissioned in 2020 to commemorate the then Prince of Wales’ 50 years as a member of The Drapers in 2022.

The photo, which was unveiled on Tuesday afternoon at Buckingham Palace, shows Charles wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards, to which he was appointed colonel in 1975.

Their scheme – to be “half in, half out” royals – had an advantage, says the ‘megmania’ seen during the Sussexes’ tour of Nigeria. Sean O’Grady:

It may not have been an official ‘royal visit’, but anyone watching the coverage would be prince harry and meghan, The Duchess of Sussex visits Nigeria to help… Invictus games And her charity, we could have been forgiven for thinking.

The couple enjoy some celebrity and notoriety, and no one, at least outside palace circles, seems to care whether the couple are classified as “working” or “non-working” royals: “Megamania” It has swept through this part of West Africa, anyway. Harry is a prince, his wife is a duchess, and his father is the king and head of the kingdom United Kingdom ParliamentNo amount of alienation or encirclement can change that. In Lagos State, he was received as a prince.

The former working royals have been on a PR tour in Nigeria – but the Duchess of Sussex revealed that ‘missing her children’ is what prompted her Carolyn Brown On the edge. You wouldn’t catch the late Queen doing this…

Obviously, Harry And Megan They are great parents and very proud of their children. But as a proud mother, who also has to travel far from home, the thought of missing my kids (while real) isn’t something I make a big song and dance about — especially when I’m at work.

The King became patron of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), following in the footsteps of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Reigning monarchs have traditionally served as the figurehead of life-saving charities since their founding in 1824, with George IV as its first patron.

This announcement, which coincides with the second centenary of its founding, comes after a comprehensive review of more than 1,000 royal cares conducted by the Royal Family after the death of the late Queen.

Author Dame Jilly Cooper described receiving the royal honor from the King as “orgasmic”.

The 87-year-old also chose The Common Years as her favorite work she has written, after she was made a dame for services to literature and charity on Tuesday.

She is mainly known for her Rutshire Chronicles, which focus on scandal and adultery in upper-class society and an aristocratic figure named Robert Campbell Black.

The Duke of Kent joined the last surviving widow of the lifeboat disaster to lay a wreath in memory of the five men who died.

Edward, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and president of the RNLI, paid tribute at the lifeboat station in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, with Pat Owen, whose husband James Buchan died in the lifeboat disaster at Fraserburgh more than half a century ago.

The Fraserburgh lifeboat, Duchess of Kent, capsized in strong winds on 21 January 1970 while escorting another ship to safety.

Prince Harry spoke poignantly about mental health as he visited a school in Nigeria on Friday – telling students there was “no shame” in having a bad day.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, has spoken openly about the bereavements he has suffered in his life, telling young people it is okay to acknowledge difficult feelings.

He added: “There is no shame in being able to admit that today is a bad day.”

“If you woke up this morning feeling sad, or if you left school feeling stressed, or if you lost a loved one in your family who you would normally turn to or talk to, these are all things that might lead you to believe it’s not a good conversation for you.

“We are here today to tell you that is not the case.”
