PRINCE Harry’s growing relationship with a “tricky” individual could lead to more confrontation with the family, experts have warned.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, is said to have been growing increasingly close to late Princess Diana’s side of the family since his famous quitting of the UK.

An expert has said a close relationship with Diana’s brother Earl Spencer could see tensions rise even more[/caption]

In the latest episode of The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, expert Ingrid Seward said since his 2020 departure, the Spencer family have made an effort to include Harry in gatherings.

And in particular, the prince is becoming much closer to Diana‘s brother Earl Spencer.

Speaking with The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson, Ingrid said it could see tensions rise even more as Harry’s dad King Charles “never got on” with his ex-wife’s brother Charles.

She said: “The Spencers are actually making a big effort to include Harry.

“The Spencer children, well they’re grown-up now, Harry’s cousins, he’s actually become quite close to.”

Matt then went on to ask: “Would the Royal Family be nervous about Harry becoming close with Earl Spencer?

“Are we on the road to more confrontation if he’s closer to Earl Spencer and the Spencers?”

To which Ingrid said: “Yes I suppose that’s a very good point.

“King Charles, well he was Prince Charles back then, had this big, big fall out with Earl Spencer over the funeral arrangements for Diana and they have never got on.

“He’s tricky. I think he’s a very intelligent man but he’s tricky.”

Ingrid also went on to say the relationship between Harry and the royals might stay fractured, because Diana had actually fallen out with her brother Charles shortly before her death. 

She added: “Diana, of course, was quite close to him except towards the end and she really fell out with her brother.

“She wanted a house on the [Spencer] estate and he said: ‘No I can’t put up with the publicity and the baggage that you bring with you’.

“And she was really hurt and really angry and refused to speak to him after that.

“Then she went off on holiday with Dodi Fayed and the rest is history.”

Charles Spencer, 60, recently divorced his third wife after admitting he wanted to devote himself to his children and grandchildren.

Karen Gordon, the Countess of Spencer, and Charles wed in June 2011.

They had one daughter together, Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer, who was born in 2012 and has been raised at Althorp.

Charles is the 9th Earl Spencer as well as being the uncle to Prince William and Prince Harry.

He works as a historian, journalist and broadcast as well as managing the Althorp estate, the Spencers’ ancestral seat in Northamptonshire.

Sitting in the English Channel just off the western coast of France, Tatihou island is largely unknown to most Brits.

A stone’s throw from the Normandy village of Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue on the French mainland, Tatihou stays comparatively warm even when the weather starts to turn in autumn thanks to the Gulf Stream.

The island is known for its sunset panoramas[/caption]

The island is an uninhabited nature reserve that’s home to over 150 species of birds, three botanical island and just one hotel.

The Gulf Stream creates a unique micro-climate that allows unusually exotic plants to thrive.

Despite having no residents, the island is open to the public from April 1 until November 13, 2024, with visitors able to explore its shores and garden from 10am until 6pm.

While holidaymakers can visit the island on foot at low tide, a journey using an amphibious vehicle (a sort of boat/bus hybrid) is more fun.

Stretching for just 28 hectares, the small island has been dubbed “a garden on sea,” thanks to its three themed gardens.

Protected by stone walls, visitors can learn more about a huge variety of plant species that thrive on the island all while strolling through the gardens.

Entry tickets to the gardens cost €14 (£11.79) for a full-paying adult and €6.50 (£5.48) for a child.

Holidaymakers who want to learn more about the island’s history should head to the Tatihou Maritime Museum.

The museum is said to house a unique collection of archaeological artefacts, each telling visitors more about the lives of the miners that used to live on the island.

Visitors will also discover more about the construction of ships and the strategic role the island played in naval battles.

The island is also home to Vauban Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage site that sits right at the end of the island.

Open daily, entry costs €14 (£11.79) for a full-paying adult and €6.50 (£5.48)for a child, with family rates also available.

Maisons de Tatihou Hostel is the only accommodation option on the French island.

Rooms are spread across two buildings, with enough space to accommodate 46 people, with rates starting from €32 (£26.96) per person per night.

Restaurant Le Carré, which is situated inside the hostel, serves a range of fresh cuisine from local producers.

Any holidaymakers who take a packed lunch will need to bring a rubbish bag to take their litter home because there aren’t any bins on the island.

The island is also famed for its dazzling sunsets, with the best views actually from Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue on the French mainland.

From Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue holidaymakers will be able to watch the sun slowly set behind Vauban Tower.

While the Gulf Stream creates a microclimate that helps to keep temperatures warm throughout the year, with highs of 20C in October, summer still remains the best time to visit.

This is because the Traversées Tatihou festival music festival takes place on the island every August.

According to Discover Ferries, one of the easiest ways to reach both Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue and Tatihou Island is via Cherbourg.

Direct ferry services operate from Dover, Portsmouth, Newhaven and Poole to Cherbourg, France.

From Cherbourg, it’s a 40-minute drive to Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, where Brits will be able to join connecting services to Tatihou Island.

Meanwhile, these are six secret holiday spots in Europe.

And this French holiday spot has been described as “unfairly overlooked”.

The main star has revealed the hilarious reason one crew member got the chop[/caption]

Sir David Jason, who famously played Del Boy in the series, recently shared a surprising anecdote about how one crew member found the show so funny it cost him his job.

During the filming of a 1982 episode called Ashes to Ashes, the humour on set proved too much for one cameraman.

This episode centred around the Trotters’ ill fated attempt to scatter Trigger’s grandfather’s ashes into the River Thames.

One of the key moments sees a street cleaning lorry suck up the urn, leading Rodney to shout at the driver: “You’ve just sucked up our urn!”

The horrified driver responded: “Oh my God, what was he? A kitten?”

According to Sir David, the scene was so funny that one of the cameramen couldn’t hold back his laughter.

His chuckling fit became such an issue that the production team had no choice but to remove him from the set because he “couldn’t control himself”.

After being left shaking from trying to stifle his laughter, the cameraman was replaced with another crew member.

Sir David joked that without the change, they might still be trying to complete the scene to this day.

The acting legend also recently revealed that he feels overwhelmed by how much attention he gets from Only Fools and Horses fans.

He shared this his celebrity status has left fans mobbing him at all times in a desperate bid to bag a selfie with the iconic actor.

It has even wreaked havoc at times on the set of his other shows, including his recent runaway BBC success with Jay Blades, Touring Toolshed.

Speaking to the Daily Star about the blessing and a curse nature of his celebrity status, David said: “Del Boy is a character that I can’t avoid. He’s become so ingrained in the public’s mind that where I got, I tend to be recognised and then what happens is that people can’t help but interfere with your private life.

“It’s part of the job. It’s part of giving your time and your life to the Great British public, God bless them.”

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE football has produced some of the best matches the world has ever seen – but this season will be like no other.

Jude Bellingham capped off his incredible debut season for Real Madrid by helping Los Blancos seal their 15th Champions League triumph in the 2023/24 final.

And the midfield maestro will be hoping his side can fend off English giants Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal to retain the title.

But all teams are set to have a completely new route to the final courtesy of what will now be a league format.

Luckily for fans, SunSport can give a clear explanation on how it will all work below.

What is the new Champions League format?

There will be one league table that all 36 qualified teams will participate in.

Each club will play eight matches in the opening phase – four home games and four away games against seeded opposition in a system designed to ensure that teams play opponents of similar difficulty.

Clubs will only face other sides based on the pot they have been drawn out of and teams cannot face more than two opponents from the same country or from the same association.

The top eight teams in the final table will automatically go through to the last 16.

They will then be joined by the eight play-off winners of ties between the sides who were placed ninth to 24th in the table.

Teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated from all European competitions this season – meaning that they will not drop into the Europa League similar to previous years.

Despite there being just eight matches in the opening phase, European matches will be spread over 10 midweek slots.

The new Champions League format also sees the implication of two additional qualifying spots.

How will the knockout stages work?

As mentioned earlier, the top eight teams will automatically qualify for the last 16, while those who place ninth to 24th will compete in a two-legged knockout play-off for the chance to join them.

Then, from the last 16 onwards, the Champions League will continue to follow its previous format, with the final taking place in a neutral venue.

Teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated from the competition and will NOT drop into the Europa League.

What does this mean for the Europa League and Europa Conference League?

Both competitions will see similar changes to those of the Champions League and will both feature 36 teams.

The Europa League will follow the exact same format

While, teams in the Europa Conference League will play six matches against six different opponents in the league phase.

KEMI Badenoch has blasted Huw Edwards dodging jail as “two tier” justice – and called for an urgent overhaul of sentencing rules.

The Tory leadership hopeful said it was “extraordinary” the disgraced BBC presenter walked free yesterday despite being convicted of making indecent images of kids.

A backlash has erupted after Edwards was let off with a six-month suspended jail sentence at court. 

Speaking on Never Mind The Ballots, ex-Cabinet Minister Ms Badenoch railed against rich and powerful figures like the shamed newsreader being treated differently.

She said: “I think it’s extraordinary. And I’ve been talking about this with quite a few people.

“And if I did become leader of the opposition, I’d be commissioning a review of sentencing guidelines. 

“There’s something that’s not right, there’s something very wrong. And it feels like there is a two-tier system where some people, or some crimes, are looked at differently from much more minor ones, and we don’t want that. 

“It does feel like there are certain people who are policed in a way that is a lot more strict for very minor things, and we need to have a faith in our justice system. 

“But also a key Conservative principle is equality under the law. It shouldn’t matter whether you have money or you work for the BBC or you’ve been on TV, you should be punished for having committed something as serious as that is it. It is extremely serious.”

Ms Badenoch also slammed the figures in the “media establishment” who defended Edwards after The Sun published its original allegations.

She told Political Editor Harry Cole: “The glee with which many of them went out to defend him, I think, given what he has been convicted of, shows that there is an attitude that there are some people who couldn’t possibly have done something wrong.”

Claims of two-tier policing have grown following prison sentences for people who helped whip up the summer riots on social media.

Ms Badenoch said a period in opposition would give the Tories time to develop fixes to the “broken” system.

She warned: “People need to see justice being done. The perception matters as much as the reality.”

She is currently battling to replace Rishi Sunak and emerged in second place in the recent round of MP voting.

Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick is in the lead, with James Cleverly and Tom Tugendhat jockeying to make it into the final two who go before the party members.
