The Duke of Sussex gave children in Cuito Cuanavale advice on avoiding detonating mines

‘There’s a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years.’

Senior aides to the King and the Duke of Sussex were seen together.

‘If you are going to try anything, try a little boogie.’

I couldn’t help but smile when I watched it.

King Charles braved the rain in east London today visiting the city’s first ever SXSW festival.

The Kingdom Choir, who performed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding in 2018, sang to Charles while he toured the event in Shoreditch.

Charles kept himself dry holding an umbrella while meeting key figures in the creative arts and technology industries.

This week, London has been filled with thousands people attending SXSW, a conference that began in Texas but has evolved into a broader cultural festival.

The focal point of Charles’s was the immersive art installation, centred around sustainability, a subject which the King is passionate about.

The exhibit, made by London artist Damien Roach, is called Grounding. It utilises AI and data to transform landscape images, reflecting the natural world’s constant adaptation and evolution.

In a previous video address, Charles compared the rise of AI to the discovery of electricity, the splitting of the atom, and the creation of the internet.

He went on to meet speakers for a panel session called ‘Love the Earth’, before visiting Spitalfields to see an art exhibition from Caribbean artists, about British Art and Culture.

SXSW has been in full swing all week. SXSW CEO Max Alexander told Metro, one of the conference’s media partners, that attendees will witness a historic ‘love letter to London’.

Idris Elba, Katherine Ryan, Erykah Badu, Alice Glass, and Sophie Turner are among the many actors, musicians, creative minds, and pioneering entrepreneurs who will be giving talks and performances until Saturday.

Earlier this week, Sadiq Khan opened the inaugural London festival during a panel with Tania Bryer at The Truman Brewery.

‘This week the creative eyes of the world will be on London as our capital becomes the first European city to ever host SXSW,’ he said.

SXSW London takes place from today (June 2) until Saturday (June 7) at venues across London.  For more information and tickets, click here.

The Duchess of Sussex shared a new snap of her with children Archie and Lilibet to mark the US Mother’s Day.

Meghan Markle po…

‘He’s six! Where did the time go?’

Meghan Markle shared a new picture showing Prince Harry spending time with Lilibet and Archie.

The Duchess of Sussex has revealed more of her and Prince Harry’s guarded family life in the celebrity hotspot Montecito, California.

The 43-year-old posted a new picture showing Prince Harry holding hands with Archie, who is about to turn six within days, with Lilibet, three, sitting on his shoulders.

The black and white image posted without a caption shows Harry dressed in casual jeans and a t-shirt, while Lilibet has a bow in her hair as the trio saunters through a garden.

Meghan has shown more sneak peeks into the royal couple’s life recently – although the children are mostly kept out of the limelight.

Last week, a sweet video showed Lilibet helping her mum make strawberry jam on Meghan’s relaunched Instagram page.

The three-year-old can be heard saying ‘I think it’s beautiful’ with her American accent when Meghan asks her opinion of it.

Before today’s Instagram snap, Meghan had shared a photo of her and Lilibet admiring pink roses with ‘Sunday kind of love…with my little loves.’

Meanwhile, Prince Harry has spoken out about his disappointment after losing a legal challenge over his UK security provision.

Harry claimed he was the victim of a ‘stitch-up’ after his appeal for higher security was dismissed.

The Duke of Sussex told the BBC he can only come to the UK safely if he is invited.

He said the security review was ‘initiated under a previous government’ and that ‘there is now a new government.’

He continued: ‘I have had it described to me, once people knew about the facts, that this is a good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up, and that is what it feels like.’

Prince Harry said he is feeling ‘very let down.’

He continued: ‘What I’m struggling to forgive, and will probably always struggle to forgive, is that a decision that was made in 2020 that affects me every single day, and that is knowingly putting me and my family in harm’s way.’

In the bombshell interview with the BBC, Prince Harry also claimed that King Charles no longer talks to him and that he doesn’t know ‘how much longer my father has.’

Meghan has been busy this year after relaunching her lifestyle brand As Ever in February before her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan.

The show is part of the Sussexes’ $100 million (£78 million) partnership with Netflix.
