NO MORE SH0CKING – Harry’s “CUTTING TIES” Declaration Stuns the Royal Family!

He is, it’s said, so distraught over what he sees as the ‘h0st1le take0ver’ of Sentebale that there’s ‘n0 way in h3ll’ he will work with the charity again, even though it has, for 19 years, been the cause closest to his heart.

But, when his rage finally abates, will Prince Harry pause to consider what he might have achieved in tandem with his brother?

The question is prompted by the remarkable performance of the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales, originally the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry when they established it in 2009.

In its current guise – which took shape after Megxit, when Harry and Meghan announced they would form their own charitable organisation, Archewell – the foundation has just had its latest financial report published by the Charity Commission.

This records that it raised £12.2million in income last year, compared with just under £8million the year before. This stunning result – achieved in a very challenging financial environment – is attributed to what is described as ‘an updated fundraising strategy’.

More than £7million came in donations and legacies, with £2.6million of that coming from the American Friends of the Royal Foundation – the best part of £1million more than American Friends gave in 2023.

Since 2022, the Royal Foundation has, of course, been entirely separate from the Earthshot Prize, which was established by William and Catherine ‘to find, support and celebrate those who turn bold ideas into real solutions to repair our planet’.

The Earthshot’s total income for 2024 was £23.5million, which included a 68 per cent increase in donations, up from £12.8million to £21.4million.

So the combined income for William and Catherine’s two organisations in just one year totals a staggering £35million.

It’s a figure which must now seem poignantly – and impossibly – remote to Harry and Meghan. They’ve yet to unveil Archewell’s income for 2024, but in 2023 the figure was $5.7million (£4.25million).

Botox? I’m afraid it’s a non from me, says Roitfeld girl

First her fashion queen mother broke the dress code at Cannes. Now, Julia Restoin Roitfeld is rebelling in her own way.

Just weeks after Vogue Paris grande dame Carine Roitfeld turned heads at the glamorous amfAR gala by attending in a humble T-shirt, daughter Julia is defying beauty norms – by saying a firm non to Botox.

The Tom Ford model, 44, who went out with footballer-turned-pundit Jamie Redknapp after his split from wife Louise, reveals: ‘A dermatologist in Paris suggested Botox in my brows to lift my lids… but I’ve always been really anti anything invasive – Botox, fillers.’

At a recent lunch, her confession that she’d never dabbled in injectables prompted disbelief from fellow diners.

‘The truth is, I like my face. It’s not perfect, but I refuse to change it,’ she writes online, adding that her boyfriend – Northern Irish rock star Tim Wheeler – agrees.

‘He claimed he would probably fancy me less if I altered my face in any way.’

‘It’s the only UK city where I won’t use my mobile in public, in fear of it getting snatched.’

Lord’s fears about Sadiq Khan’s London are certainly not unfounded: more than 70,000 phones were stolen in the capital last year, a 34 per cent increase from 2023.

Greg’s crisis over being a broad-caster

BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James has overhauled his lifestyle after panicking over the onset of ‘middle-aged spread’ – and claims he’s in better shape approaching 40 than he was in his 20s.

‘A couple of years ago, I looked at myself and thought, ‘If you don’t catch this at some point, you’re never going to do it’,’ he says.

‘I don’t want a belly, I don’t want to start decaying. It’s not about perfection. I like cheese. I like going out. But I also want to feel fit.’

Raking in over £400,000 a year, James has splashed thousands on joining the Lighthouse Gym in Fitzrovia, which operates on a referral-only basis and counts James Norton and Dominic Cooper among its members.

The actor, 68, who starred in films including Scum and The Departed, has become green-fingered at his villa in Sicily.

‘I’m lucky enough to have a bit of land out here, and I grow olives and almonds, purely for myself, I don’t sell it,’ he says. ‘It’s for me and the family.’
