Prince Harry was brutally savaged by a royal photographer who called him out on his "appalling" behaviour towards the Royal Family.

The Duke of Sussex has been estranged from his family ever since he quit his royal duties and moved across the pond with wife Meghan Markle.

The royal couple have made a series of claims against the royals by giving interviews, starring in their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan and through the duke's memoir, Spare.

Now the Sun's royal photographer Arthur Edwards claimed that the monarch was "very upset" with his son's decision to publish a book about his life within the Firm.

A royal commentator has opened up about how Nigerians really reacted to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent trip to the country.

The Mirror's royal editor, Russell Myers, has given us an insight into how the actual people of Nigeria felt for the royal couple's visit to the West African nation.

He told this week’s edition of True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat: "The Nigerian press that I'd looked at at the time - it wasn't landing and there were a lot of people saying.

"'Well, why are they here? What does this mean for us? Is it just two people coming for the show?'

"I think then you ask yourself, 'Why are they there? Was it for Invictus? Or was the Invictus message lost a little bit?'"

Queen Camilla's choice of flowers during her recent appearance at the Chelsea Flower Show had a secret meaning behind it, a flower expert has claimed.

King Charles's wife joined her husband at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show on Monday.

The royal couple visited a garden based on the Penelope Featherington character from the hit Netflix Regency-era show and they both received a badge from children from Sulivan Primary School in London who helped design the garden - with Charles being given a "King of the Compost" one and Camilla receiving a badge which called her "Queen of the Bees".

During a touching moment, the Queen, who looked stunning in a blue ensemble, presented the children with a bouquet of camellias to permit the royal couple's entry into the garden.

King Charles "missed a trick" by not attending Prince Harry's Invictus Games service on May 8 even though he was otherwise engaged, according to a royal expert.

Harry's camp claimed that he had extended invites to the 10th anniversary celebration to other senior royals but none of them were present on the day.

The King was hosting the first garden party of the season at Buckingham Palace just a few miles away, while Prince William was at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.

But Chris Ship, ITV's royal editor, felt that His Majesty should still have made an appearance as he told True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat: "The King, in my view, missed a trick by not going to that event at St Paul's Cathedral. Harry was here in the UK.

Prince Harry has been slammed by a royal expert for "throwing a hissy fit" during his recent visit to the UK, during which he snubbed King Charles over security concerns.

The Duke recently made a fleeting visit to London for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which he co-founded, and rumours quickly began swirling over whether he would reunite with his father and other members of the Royal Family.

These were put to bed after a spokesperson revealed the two would not be able to meet due to scheduling conflicts but stressed that Prince Harry would be open to a future meeting.

A statement made by Prince Harry against the British media about his wife, Meghan Markle, appears to have been taken down from the Royal Family's official website.

The statement, released by Kensington Palace in 2016 when the couple announced their relationship to the public, was the one which left King Charles and Prince William "furious" as it made them "look bad" for not defending their wives the same way, according to Prince Harry's memoir Spare.

The Duke of Sussex condemned the press for subjecting his then-girlfriend, Meghan Markle, to a "wave of abuse and harassment".
