The founder of a U.K. charity, to which Hugh Grant is famously a major donor after contributing around 75,000 pounds, has become the subject of an extensive BBC exposé for faking viral stories of kindness to make money.
On Thursday, the BBC released a documentary, Britain’s Hero Plumber Exposed, with an accompanying report accusing Depher founder James Anderson of lying in X posts, using photos of non-consenting beneficiaries and spending company cash on a house and a car.
Anderson has accrued a huge online following in recent years for his social media posts detailing the desperate pleas for help his charity has answered — prompting two million pounds in donations, according to BBC analysis of company accounts and even receiving letters of thanks from the late Queen Elizabeth II and the now-King Charles.

King Charles “protects” Kate Middleton against any royal family members who question when she will return to royal duties. He threatens the “riot act” against anyone who speaks negatively about the Princess of Wales, claims a royal author.
King Charles is Kate Middleton’s protector
King Charles has become Kate Middleton’s fiercest champion. The king continues to stand up for the Princess of Wales as she recovers from a cancer diagnosis.
Fox News Digital spoke to Christopher Andersen, author of The King, about Charles’ more protective role toward his daughter-in-law. Anderson believes the king’s devotion to supporting Kate within the palace is raising eyebrows in the royal family.
“There are those inside and outside the palace who have criticized Kate over the years [before her diagnosis] for supposedly not shouldering her share of the royal burden. For not going to as many ribbon cuttings, hospital openings, and plaque unveilings as the late Queen Elizabeth II,...

On the first Monday of May, fashion lovers tune into the Met Gala red carpet to see what each of their favorite celebrities are wearing. The Met Gala is a huge topic of conversation each year, while audiences analyze each fashion choice, each guest, and whether or not these celebrities fit the theme of the gala. This year, the Met Gala featured two themes of sorts. The Met Gala’s 2024 theme was ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’, inspired by the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's latest exhibition. However, the dress code was ‘The Garden of Time’, nodding its head to the visuals of the briar woods of ‘Sleeping Beauty’. With this dress code, we were bound to see plenty of florals and nature-inspired looks this evening. In case you missed it, here are some of the most memorable looks from Monday evening.

How do the makers of Bridgerton keep a fandom as dedicated as theirs guessing? How does the Netflix show surprise a core of fans who are so intimately familiar with Julia Quinn’s source books that they’re anticipating every blush and ball before it even gets to the screen?
One solution, as has happened in season three, is to play with the established order of things. Though Benedict Bridgerton’s romance follows on from that of his brother Anthony’s in Quinn’s book series, the TV show has (rightly!) vaulted over that to first show the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.
Their other answer? Invention. In addition to TV-only characters Madame Delacroix, Will and Alice Mondrich and Queen Charlotte herself, a new raft of invented-for-the-show characters appear in season three. Here they all are, along with info on the actors playing them, plus a couple...

Prince Harry recently returned to the U.K. for a three-day trip to celebrate the anniversary of the Invictus Games he founded 10 years ago. There was a special service held at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London to commemorate the anniversary of the Games. Some of Princess Diana’s siblings were in attendance but no one from the royal family attended the ceremony even though they were reportedly invited.
No one expected Harry’s brother, Prince William, or his sister-in-law, who is undergoing treatment for cancer to attend. But not seeing any royals especially one of the duke’s favorite relatives show up to support him has angered some Sussex fans. Here’s who that is and what’s being said about them.

The British Royal Family is often a source of scandal. You can verify this thanks to The Crown by Peter Morgan or a simple attempt to Google the latest news from Buckingham Palace: you will see the recent "disappearance" of Kate Middleton and Prince Harry's tossing between the US and UK, and the false statement about the death of the King.
A recent movie released on Netflix depicts another high-profile story involving the son of Elizabeth II. The scandal reached its climax in 2019, when the prince gave an interview to the BBC and created a wave of criticism against him. It was the historic conversation that became the subject of study by director Philip Martin in the film Scoop.
The movie is based on a book by Sam McAlister, the same producer who finally persuaded Prince Andrew to break his silence.

How do you neatly wrap up a series that’s covered 60 years of history over six seasons?
The finale of The Crowndoes just that. The groundbreaking drama, which chronicles the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and the lives of the royal family, comes to a close with Season 6’s touching Episode 10.
“I’ve worked on the show every single day, including bank holidays and Christmases for ten years,” said series creator and writer Peter Morgan. “I’m proud of having got to the end and having done what I said I would do. The queen was both a very ordinary person, and a completely unique and remarkable person.”

There was speculation leading up to Prince Harry‘s U.K. visit about whether King Charles would meet with the Duke of Sussex while he was in town to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. After Harry touched down in London though, it was reported that no such meeting would take place.
Now, someone who used to work for the monarch and knows Harry well is explaining why it’s “odd” that they didn’t see each other.
What King Charles’ ex-aide said about King Charles not making time to see Prince Harry
Grant Harrold was King Charles’ butler from 2004 to 2011. During his time working for the monarch his duties also included that of valet, house manager, and driver. He also looked after Prince William and Prince Harry whenever they stayed at Highgrove House.

King Charles III is down “points” after skipping Prince Harry’s Invictus Games anniversary service. His absence has been widely perceived as a “snub” in the British press. However, a royal biographer thinks the king has a chance to redeem himself, and soon. How? By making a nod to the Duke of Sussex when he hands over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, the regiment Harry served in, to Prince William—another move widely seen as a “snub”—in an upcoming ceremony.

Being a grandfather is complicated for King Charles III. Amid his ongoing rift with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the leader of the British royal family rarely gets to see Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 2. As a result, per a commentator, the king is likely “showering love” on the rest of his grandchildren to compensate.

Some birthday gifts just aren’t going to happen, even for British royalty. Prince Archie, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son who turned 5 on May 6, 2024, reportedly missed out on a “superb” birthday gift costing thousands of dollars from his grandfather, King Charles III. The reason, according to a royal author and commentator, is because the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were concerned it’d remind Archie too much of royal life.
King Charles wanted to give Archie an elaborate playhouse for his birthday
In the lead-up to Archie’s birthday, Tom Quinn, author of Gilded Youth, a book about growing up in the royal family, discussed potential birthday gifts. Particularly one from King Charles with a hefty price tag.
The king, Quinn told Express, “suggested that he give Archie a playhouse. Not a plastic child’s playhouse, but a superb hand-made shepherd’s hut, complete with bunks and bookshelves.

Queen Elizabeth was gifted her engagement ring from Prince Philip and wore it daily until her death in September 2022. So where is it today? Who has it?
Who has Queen Elizabeth’s engagement ring?
The royal family generally bequeaths heirloom jewelry to others in the House of Windsor. Therefore, it is likely that Queen Elizabeth’s engagement ring is now in safekeeping for an undisclosed family member.
However, the ring may also be part of the royal jewelry collection. The Jewellery Editor reveals where Queen Elizabeth’s collection may be kept.
The queen was known to have around 400 tiaras, rings, necklaces, and brooches. The jewelry collection is reportedly rich in history and of unmistakable value. These jewels are stashed 40 feet under Buckingham Palace in a converted air raid shelter with an alarm connected to the palace’s police station.

King Charles experienced a major change in his life when he transitioned to the monarch after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died. Another person who went through a transition as well is Queen Camilla (formerly Camilla Parker Bowles). While the king had prepared most of his life for his role, the role queen isn’t one Camilla was born into.
She willingly accepted that but it was anyone’s guess if the general public would ever accept her. Here’s what someone who used to work for Charles and Camilla says he’s noticed since their coronation.

With the century’s biggest royal drama show The Crown ending its run back in 2023, the TV industry was surely left with no other choice but to switch its attention to something else rather than The Royal Family’s life full of its own ups and downs. This probably was accepted by many production companies, but not by Netflix.
The streaming’s Royal-ish release of last month Scoop wasn’t expected to be a hit that massive, but the movie’s results seemingly provoked a big change of plans for Netflix in the nearest years.
Starring Gillian Anderson as journalist Emily Maitlis, Scoop follows a sequence of events that led Mailtis to carrying out a scandalous and viral interview with Queen Elizabeth II’s son Prince Andrew regarding his relationships with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Meghan Markle is busy working hard behind-the-scenes to make her new brand American Riviera Orchard the best and biggest it can be.
However, a brand strategist believes there could be challenges to its success despite Meghan hoping to support it with a show on Netflix.
Meghan Markle Faces Tough Decision On Whether To Make Brand Expensive or Accessible
According to brand expert Lucie Green, Meghan could choose to lean into her royal connections to make the brand high-end.
The downsides to this is that she is sure to be faced with criticisms every time she does this, so for now, we’ve got Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex as the name she legally went with when launching the brand.
How much she could lean into the royal side down the line is something we can’t yet see.

It is not a secret that relations between Prince Harry and his royal family, King Charles and Prince William, are strained. They have been that way since before Prince Harry moved to the United States.
Prince Harry is in the United Kingdom this week to celebrate a monumental milestone for his charity, the Invictus Games. However, it seems that none of his family will join him during the celebration.
The foundation is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a ceremony at St. Paul’s Cathedral, a panel discussion, and other special events.
Prince Harry will attend without his wife, Meghan Markle, and his children; unfortunately, it seems that King Charles and Prince William are not expected either.
Prince Harry was able to see his father briefly after the King announced his cancer diagnosis, and as any son would, likely misses his dad terribly.

Ian McKellen is one of the most respected and talented actors in Hollywood. Over the course of his lengthy career, he established himself as a force to be reckoned with, achieving so much through his acting career that he was even knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. His versatility knows no limitations, having starred in many different kinds of roles and movies from all genres.
Sir Ian McKellen as Gandolf in The Hobbit
Considering just how talented and successful he is, it is not surprising that the actor is offered many different types of roles. Sometimes that may be through lesser-known sources, and others they may be very high-profile projects.
It would seem that the actor was asked to be a part of Tom Cruise’s iconic film series, Mission: Impossible, being offered the role of Commander Swanbeck in the second movie. Interestingly enough, the actor rejected this offer due to one reason.

King Charles III wants to meet a goal for 2024’s Trooping the Colour in the wake of his cancer diagnosis. The monarch, 75, who began treatment in February, reportedly wants to “lead from the front” at the annual parade.

The two were expected to attend an upcoming Invictus Games ceremony together in Harry’s home country in May, but Meghan has now opted out of the event — however, she plans to fly to Nigeria to meet Harry shortly after.
At this point, it seems clear that Meghan is avoiding the royal family at all costs. And one expert says it’s because she “doesn’t want the drama.”

It’s been just-about confirmed that Meghan Markle will not accompany her husband, Prince Harry, to the United Kingdom in early May to attend an Invictus Games ceremony.
