Prince William, Princess Kate new fears confirm Harry’s bold concerns
Prince William and Kate Middleton were hit with shocking news regarding their home in London as they were away on holiday.
There had been a break-in by an intruder at their Kensington Palace apartment twice last month, but the culprit was apprehended by the police eventually.
This has not been the first incident, as before, when the Waleses still lived in Adelaide Cottage in October 2024, thieves broke in and stole farm vehicles from very close to the residence.
William and Kate moved into their new home Forest Lodge two months ago, but there are adequate security measures in place, even if the neighbours have been raising complaints over inconveniences.
The recent events seem to indicate an alarming discovery, a claim that Prince Harry had made about his security in the past multiple times, but they were brushed off.
Prince Harry has made several visits to the UK even after he was evicted from his Windsor Home Frogmore Cottage, in 2023. King Charles’s younger son has maintained that while he can take the security gamble for himself, he cannot return with his family since it’s simply too risky.
Following his exit from the royal family, his police protection was stripped off, and Harry has been fighting the case with the UK Home Office since. During this time, for some of his visits, the monarch had even offered him to stay at Buckingham Palace. However, Harry had promptly rejected it on the claims that it was not sufficient security.
This had baffled many royal experts on the matter, suggesting that Harry was only making excuses to express his anger and only fuelling the rift between him and the royals.
Although, as it turns out, the claims were not completely out of the box, given the recent security breaches that have taken place at Windsor and at Kensington Palace.
Hence, Harry has stayed in hotels for his tours and at one point, stayed at his mother’s Althorp estate with his uncle Charles Spencer to attend a funeral service.
It seems that the struggle would now finally come to an end as sources close to the Sussexes reveal Harry has finally won his case for taxpayer-funded security.
In the latest update by Mail on Sunday, it was revealed that Harry’s stalker incident in September has led to the reinstatement of his protection. Although an official announcement is yet to be made, unless there is “intervention” from the Palace and the decision is reversed.
“Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life,” a spokesperson said back in 2022. “He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years, his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats. While his role within the Institution has changed, his profile as a member of the Royal Family has not. Nor has the threat to him and his family.”

Fire and Ash proves its power with $1 billion global run
James Cameron has done it again.
His new science-fiction fantasy Avatar: Fire and Ash has crossed $1 billion in worldwide earnings.
The film successfully brings audiences back to the alien world of Pandora.
According to Walt Disney Studios, global ticket sales have now reached
$1.03 billion.
‘These movies consistently draw audiences to the movie theatre,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore head of marketplace trends.
The original Avatar, released in 2009, became a massive success and earned $2.9 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing movie of all time based on total sales.
However, the 1939 classic Gone With Wind still holds the top spot when adjusted for inflation.
The sequel of Avatar: The Way of Water, released more than a decade later in 2022, earned over $2.3 billion globally and won an Academy Award for its visual effects.
Interestingly, the latest installment performed strongly at the box office despite being released during the holiday season.
It earned $306 million in North America and $777.1 million internationally.
For those unfamiliar, Cameron’s journey with billion-dollar films began with Titanic in 1997, which went on to make nearly $2.3billion worldwide.

Curfew imposed in Nepal’s Birgunj as protests erupt over mosque vandalism
- Protests erupt over desecration of mosque by Hindu extremists.
- Police arrest several protesters after clashes in Birgunj.
- Security forces ordered to open fire against curfew violators.
A curfew was imposed in Birgunj, a southern Nepal city bordering India, following protests that erupted over the vandalism and desecration of a mosque by Hindu extremists, triggering clashes between the demonstrators and police.
Hindu extremists had attacked the mosque on Sunday, carrying out vandalism and looting, which left the local Muslim community enraged and deeply distressed.
Large numbers of Muslims took to the streets to protest against the desecration incident in Dhanusha’s Kamala Municipality, prompting police to use tear gas to disperse demonstrators, while several protesters were taken into custody.
Following the protests, the Parsa District Administration issued curfew orders, banning public movement on the streets across the city, as well as restricting all types of gatherings and demonstrations, according to local media reports.
Security forces have also been authorised to open fire against those violating the curfew, officials confirmed.
Birgunj lies about 130 kilometres south of Kathmandu and is a major entry point for fuel, goods and supplies from India.
Indian authorities have also tightened security and completely sealed the Nepal border in view of the tense atmosphere in Birgunj, the reports added.
Clashes between Hindus and Muslims are uncommon in predominantly Hindu Nepal, where most Muslims live in southern border regions.
