Prince Edward's wife breaks down mid-interview

<p>Prince Edward's wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, revealed that Prince Philip's death has left a "giant-sized hole" in the royal family.</p> <p>She also spoke about the pandemic has "slightly skewed things", which means that the royal family haven't been able to grieve properly.</p> <p>Despite the Duke of Edinburgh passing away "peacefully" at Windsor Castle on April 9th, the family aren't coping properly two months on from his death.</p> <p>She spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live and said that Prince Philip's death left a "giant-sized hole in our lives".</p> <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9"><iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qrc-By4JnSY"></iframe></div> <p>“Well he has left a giant-sized hole in our lives," she began.</p> <p>“I think the pandemic has unfortunately slightly skewed things in as much as it’s hard to spend as much time with the Queen as we would like to.</p> <p>“We’ve been trying to, but of course it’s still not that easy.</p> <p>“And of course the normal way of things isn’t normal yet so we’re not necessarily doing the things that we would normally have done with him.</p> <p>“So I think the whole grieving process is probably likely for us to take a lot longer. It may be the same for many other families out there.</p> <p>“Because if you’re not living with somebody, 24/7, the immediate loss isn’t necessarily felt in the same way, as if somebody was in the house with you all the time.”</p> <p>Interviewer Naga Munchetty saw that Sophie's eyes began to fill with tears and asked her if she was okay.</p> <p>Sophie responded: “It’s only when you would do the normal things that you would have done with them, and you suddenly realise that they are not there, that you really start to have an ‘oh my goodness’ moment.</p> <p>“Just talking to you now, it’s a bit of an ‘oh my goodness’ moment. I think they’ll come and go. But you have to let them come and go.”</p>

Princess Diana’s brother gives rare glimpse into childhood life

<p>Charles Spencer has posted a rare throwback photograph with his sister, Princess Diana, on to Twitter</p> <p>The siblings were shot standing side by side, with a much taller Diana wrapping her arm around her brother.</p> <p>Earl Spencer, 56, shared the sweet photo with no caption and royal fans swarmed the comment to praise the royal.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/lpZXrQNsid">pic.twitter.com/lpZXrQNsid</a></p> — Charles Spencer (@cspencer1508) <a href="https://twitter.com/cspencer1508/status/1325016523073875969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 7, 2020</a></blockquote> <p>"Her legacy and influence remains and in fact gets stronger and stronger as years go by.

She could move mountains."</p> <p>Another wrote: "Such a lovely photo! No one will ever replace Diana, she was unique, as your [funeral] speech at Westminster Abbey expressed so well.”</p> <p>The photo has been shared following the Earl's public accusations that the BBC sent him a "piecemeal apology" for using fake documents to secure Diana's famous Panorama TV Interview 25 years ago.</p> <p>The interview is what launched journalist Martin Bashir to fame, as it is where Diana famously said there were "three of us" in her marriage to Prince Charles ­– a reference to his mistress Camilla Parker Bowles.</p> <p>Spencer has been vocal on Twitter about the ordeal.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">1/2 Many people are, quite understandably, asking why I’ve waited till now to come forward with the truth about how the <a href="https://twitter.com/BBCPanorama?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BBCPanorama</a> with my sister came about.

We would urge you to consider carefully the implications of running a story where the central figure concerned is unable to provide a right of reply.</p> <p>"BBC records from the period indicate that Martin had explained to the BBC that the documents had been shown to Earl Spencer, and that they were not shown to the Princess of Wales.

What Queen Elizabeth forgot about her youngest son Prince Edward

<p>Prince Edward is the youngest child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, however despite being the baby of the family reports say the Earl of Wessex’s birthday was forgotten while in his 20s by his mother.</p> <p>Now 54 years old, Prince Edward had a rather sobering experience in his younger life that the public took to social media to extend their sympathies.</p> <p>Jeremy Paxman’s new Channel 5 documentary is delving into the early life of the Queen’s children, and his biographer Ingrid Seward described him as a young lonely royal who found it difficult to find his place in Buckingham Palace.</p> <p>Seward, the editor-in-chief of<span> </span><em>Majesty</em><span> </span>magazine, said he was the “overlooked” third son.</p> <p>“At Buckingham Palace, he was lonely.</p> <p>“One year on his birthday he went to have breakfast with the Queen, and nothing was said. No card, no present. She didn’t know it was his birthday,” Seward recounted.</p> <p>Previously she had mentioned the same experience in her 2005 book<span> </span><em>Prince Edward: A Biography</em>, where she described the Q<span>ueen eating her toast and marmalade and sipping her special blend of homemade tea.</span></p> <p>The Prince’s demeanour hadn’t changed throughout breakfast, however, when a royal aide was made aware of the situation, the Queen was alerted, a “hasty” phone call was made, and presents were delivered to him a few hours later.</p> <p>"If it had been Prince Edward’s 20th or his 30th, his mother would not have forgotten,'" Steward wrote.</p> <p>She also noted the Queen’s second “heroic” son Andrew, who fought in the war, was her favourite son.</p> <p><em>Daily Mail</em>’s Richard Kay told Jeremy Paxman that Prince Edward never really knew where he fit in.</p> <p>“His royal aides once told me that the trouble with Prince Edward is that he can never decide whether he is His Royal Highness or Edward Windsor.</p> <p>“He couldn't tell whether he was one of us or a member of the royal family,” Kay said.</p> <p>This news comes days after the surprising revelation that <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/relationships/prince-charles-surprising-admission-prince-andrew-wants-to-be-me" target="_blank">Prince Charles claimed his younger brother, Prince Andrew, wanted to be him.</a></p> <p>The dynamic that existed between Prince Charles and his youngest brother, Edward, was extremely separate.</p> <p>“Charles is 16 years older than Edward and they weren't close,” Stewart admitted.</p> <p>She also confirmed their was a time where Prince Charles was the ‘leading’ son of the family.</p> <p>“On one of those occasions Prince Edward went upstairs and found some of the Duke of Windsor's old kilts which of course were all the tartans that the Prince of Wales is entitled to wear, and he thought, 'Ooh those look rather fun.' So, he put one on, and it fitted.</p> <p>“He went down to dinner in a tartan which was that of the Duke of Rothesay, and as he went into the dining room Charles went apoplectic and said, ‘What are you doing wearing that? I am the only one entitled to wear that kilt. It is a kilt for the Prince of Wales. Go upstairs and take it off.’”</p> <p>“Edward being such a calm person just went, 'OK', went upstairs and took it off and never mentioned it again.”</p> <p>Scroll through the gallery above to see Prince Edward through the years.</p> <p>Are you surprised by the Queen forgetting Prince Edward’s birthday?

Earl Spencer says he was lied to over princes following coffin

<p>Earl Spencer, the brother of Diana, Princess of Wales, claims he was lied to about the William and Harry wanting to walk behind their mother’s coffin.</p> <p>Spencer said he raised his objections with royal officials but was told her sons wanted to do it. He  later realised this was not the case.</p> <p>As the 20th anniversary of Diana’s tragic death nears, Spencer told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme it was a “very bizarre and cruel thing” for William and Harry to be asked to walk behind her body.</p> <p>He said his sister would not have wanted it, but royal officials told him otherwise.</p> <p>“Eventually I was lied to and told they wanted to do it, which of course they didn’t but I didn’t realise that.”</p> <p>He also described walking behind Diana’s coffin as the “most horrifying half hour of my life”, admitting he still has nightmares about the “harrowing” event 20 years on.</p> <p>But he said the experience must have been a “million times worse” for Diana’s sons.</p> <p>He said: “The feeling, the sort of absolute crashing tidal wave of grief coming at you as you went down this sort of tunnel of deep emotion, it was really harrowing and I still have nightmares about it now.</p> <p>“So there was the inner turmoil of thinking, ‘My God this is ghastly’, but then the point of thinking these two boys are doing this and it must be a million times worse for them.</p> <p>“It was truly horrifying, actually.</p> <p>“We would walk a hundred yards and hear people sobbing and then walk round a corner and somebody wailing and shouting out messages of love to Diana or William and Harry, and it was a very, very tricky time.”</p> <p><span>Prince Harry has recently opened up about the emotional trauma he experienced after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, and the <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/2017/06/prince-harry-mental-health-struggles-after-diana-death/">agony of being forced to walk behind her coffin at the funeral.</a></span></strong></span></p> <p><span>“My mother had just died, and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television,” he recalled to <em><span>Newsweek</span></em> magazine. “I don't think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. I don't think it would happen today.”</span></p>
