COMMENT: Some might suggest that 2024 hasn’t been the best year for the British royal family, but as we take a look back at what went right and what didn’t, what can we hope in 2025?

Prince William and Kate Middleton

As we all know, Princess Catherine had the most devastating year when it was announced that she was suffering from cancer, but good things came out of the bad and, according to a highly placed source, Catherine s he is rediscovered as an individual and More importantly, he now looks forward to returning to full-time royal duties with renewed vigor. However, this is not without its teething problems.

It’s simply because she’s rediscovered the joys of motherhood and time away from the media spotlight, something she’s had to live with over the past 12-plus years since her marriage to Prince William. He himself, however, has mostly flown solo this year and admitted in an interview that it has been a brutal year.

But a major turning point in William’s life occurred just last month: his meeting with the 47th president-elect, Donald J. Trump. Both men were present at the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral with William representing His Majesty the King, whose travel was restricted due to his own health problems.

But what really stood out was that not only did William engage incredibly well with President-elect Trump, but he also received praise that reverberated around the world. According to my sources, William and Catherine, as well as the King and Queen, have all been invited to Trump’s inauguration on January 20 in Washington, DC.

Catherine, meanwhile, has reactivated all the good charities she started in 2023, which mostly came to a shuddering halt with her cancer diagnosis.

What’s really happening behind the scenes is simply this: William and Catherine are both being fast-tracked to take on more royal duties and it’s the simple fact of age. As we all know, His Majesty the King and Queen are now 70 years old.

Unlike the previous Prince of Wales, William does not have the luxury of time, and Catherine also knows that once the inevitable happens, her life will change beyond recognition, no matter how old her children are, and can only recall the very young age. Queen Elizabeth and how she had to dedicate her life to the crown.

Prince George

Expect to see a more developed role from young Prince George in 2025. We saw a period of independence during the Christmas crowd when, for the first time, the 11-year-old separated from his parents to meet the public independently. Once again, we will have to focus on the fact that he too will now be accelerated behind the scenes of protocol and royal life.

George is more acutely aware than ever, after attending his grandfather’s coronation in May 2023, of what the future holds, and according to one source, he knows exactly what the public, the Commonwealth and the world will expect of him. But as you can see, he is already a wonderful, capable and honest young man.

Princess Charlotte

Princess Charlotte is also becoming more and more independent and, according to our source, has been a rock for her mother, Princess Catherine, during very difficult times and the dark times of illness. My sources tell me that Catherine is well aware that if Charlotte hadn’t been born into a royal family, she would have simply been enjoying a life, perhaps in the dancing arena. Ballet is a hobby that really took time, thought and dedication in the young princess’s life.

Prince Louis

Prince Louis remains as always: charming, endearing, and some might suggest a wonderful distraction from all the negativity that attaches to the British monarchy.

Prince Andrew

Prince Andrew continues to dominate the news, but for all the wrong reasons. However, unlike some royal relatives, he resisted the temptation to try to rectify himself by writing a book. According to a well-placed source, Andrew would at some point like to see a low-key return to royal life, focusing primarily on charity work and also out of the media spotlight.

All that remains, of course, is the thorny question of whether he can continue to live at the Royal Lodge, something he fights hard for. According to one source, he sees this as a last bastion of independence promised to him by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth. Others, however, might suggest that this is a pipe dream and that he will never be able to return to the royal fold, no matter what he wishes to do.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

As for the ex-Royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, The biggest problem is simply money!

Indeed, Prince Harry and Meghan have an extravagant lifestyle with a dedicated 24/7 security team and, of course, a sprawling mansion with their Netflix deal hanging by a thread post-disaster colossal performance of Prince Harry’s polo show. Everything now depends on Meghan Markle’s ability to concoct the success of her next cooking show for the streaming company.

To brighten up our new year, Meghan decided to post on her brand new Instagram account, which has existed in secret for two years, but she now admits it. Well, her new cooking show for Netflix is ​​finally here. Apparently she wants to wrap her arms around everyone so we can enjoy food, gardening, and friendship. You don’t see friends for a good time like Gayle King, Oprah or, of course, Ellen DeGeneres, but they are in 2024.

Ultimately, if this fails and does as well as Prince Harry’s polo parade, then, even though she wrote 2025 in the sand in her other Instagram post, she may wish the waves would break on another obvious debacle.

The Sussexes had hoped, after their quasi-royal tours of Nigeria and Colombia, that many other countries would be willing to book them. But with the colossal costs of flights, security and all that comes with having former members of the British monarchy on board, it appears, so far, that few countries have taken up the offer. strange and confusing.

I’m also told that Harry closed the book on other eye-opening revelations. Even though the original deal was for four books, it now appears that Harry is out of steam and, more importantly, Penguin Random House, which has paid a hefty listing fee, despite all the publicity so far , has not regained its initial price. expenses.

Prince Harry, however, is still hoping that his original dream of moving to Africa and living a quiet life is something he could persuade his very media-demanding wife to benefit from as well. But many people realize that without the glare of the spotlight, Meghan has trouble even breathing.

King Charles and Queen Camilla

The king, despite his cancer diagnosis, plans to get into even more trouble in 2025. However, the problem really concerns Queen Camilla. An insider told me that she tires easily and, as we’ve all seen, she easily catches any virus or bug that’s floating around.

Perhaps at the age of 77 she may have been considering a quieter life, but she threw herself with great enthusiasm into the life of a working royal and promised Her Majesty the king that she would be there with him by her side. . However, many people believe that the king should actually slow down, take more care of his health and perhaps take some time off, leaving Catherine and William to undertake some of the more demanding foreign tours.

But Charles is adamant that he is not slowing down and taking advantage of the opportunity to take control and direction of his own personal reign. However, 2025 is shaping up to be just as exciting and exciting as last year, and we are all sincerely grateful for the work, fun, glamor and hard work that the British royal family brings to us.
