In an extraordinary letter, it seems King Charles has finally given Prince Harry and Meghan Markle a taste of their own medicine, that's according to the Daily Mail's Royal Editor Rebecca English. The monarch emphasised that the Sussexes should be treated as 'private citizens' upon their return to the UK and not as working members of the Royal Family. Rebecca breaks down what the letter meant and the exact phrase that the Sussexes took offence to. She also explains why the King's words may have led to a shock dropout from the Invictus Games. Earlier in the week, we saw Prince George arrive for his first day at Eton College. Of course, Rebecca was there and she couldn't help but notice the stark differences between George's first day at the prestigious boarding school versus William's experience. PLUS which special guest did the Prince of Wales bring out during his visit to Liverpool? AND we break down the long list of international royals who were in attendance at King Harald of Norway's funeral - and the reason why William was nowhere near the front of the procession.
