King Charles and his heir, Prince William, had to ditch some of their most expensive vehicles for a potential threat over their safety.

The monarch and the Prince of Wales have long supported causes meant for bettering the environment. They have even switched to electric cars while they are in the expansive Palace, to move around from once place to another.

However, a life-threatening risk emerged after it was discovered that the technology used in the cars in not completely safe for the royals.

“Electric cars are more vulnerable because they have more technology,” Robert Pritchard, who has briefed ministers and the late Queen Elizabeth on cyber issues, told The Sun.

“If the car is manufactured by a Chinese firm, then the Chinese government can probably get access to location data.”

Charles has been spotted driving the Eletre SUVs made by Norfolk-based Lotus, of which 51 per cent is Chinese-owned. Kate and William also have been loaned one similar car.

The King was even considering to drop his electric Audi after using the new car at Balmoral this summer. However, the tech is reportedly “more vulnerable to hackers” despite it self-drive function is disabled in the UK.

The hackers could not only track the vehicle’s location but can also take control of the wheel remotely.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman did not want to comment on the matter.

Eamonn Holmes’ animosity towards Phillip Schofield has intensified to the point where he expresses no regrets about his outbursts, which contributed to problems in his marriage to Ruth Langsford.

A source close to Eamonn, 64, revealed that he remains steadfast in his outspoken criticisms of Phillip, which reportedly left Ruth feeling dismayed towards the end of their relationship.

Ruth continues to be a regular fixture on the popular ITV show Loose Women, and sources indicate that she felt uncomfortable with her husband publicly voicing his grievances about the channel and expressing feelings of betrayal.

The couple announced their separation in May after 14 years of marriage, citing that work commitments had “taken their marriage in different directions.” Since then, Eamonn has been seen on holiday with his girlfriend, Katie Alexander.

The presenter has not held back in expressing his disdain for Phillip, leading to a feud that has been labeled one of the most significant in show business.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Eamonn’s dislike for Phillip existed for a long time, but it became very public at the end of his marriage to Ruth. And as his hatred for him and ITV grew, the cracks in their relationship grew deeper.

‘Ruth became a bit dismayed at Eamonn for making repeated digs at ITV after they were axed from This Morning.

‘Ruth wasn’t over the moon about it . But given she was still a cemented member of the Loose Women family, it made things somewhat awkward for her to have Eamonn criticising ITV.

‘But Eamonn loathes Phillip and has no regrets about what he said and certainly doesn’t think he threw him under the bus. 

‘He doesn’t regret any of his behaviour; he believes he’s addicted to fame, and he can’t believe he’s attempted to relaunch himself with his documentary this week.

‘Eamonn is trying to move on with his life, and has no plans to ever make it up with Philip.’

But a source close to the presenter said it would be wrong to suggest his comments about Philip or ITV had anything to do with his marriage breaking down.

The Duchess of Edinburgh demonstrated her calm demeanor during a visit to Picton Barracks in Wiltshire this morning.

In her capacity as Royal Colonel, Sophie, 59, oversaw a homecoming parade for the 5th Battalion of The Rifles, which recently returned from a six-month deployment in Estonia.

A highlight of her visit occurred when she boldly removed a spider from an officer’s shirt, sharing a lighthearted moment and exchanging smiles with the soldier. This act illustrated the duchess’s approachable nature and her ability to connect with military personnel, reported GB News.

Throughout her visit, the Duchess of Edinburgh warmly interacted with the families of the soldiers. In a particularly touching gesture, she presented mini-medals to the children present at the homecoming parade.

Sophie also inspected the Guard of Honour and delivered a speech to the assembled troops and their loved ones. Her interactions showcased her dedication to her role as Royal Colonel and her capability to engage with both military personnel and their families.

The duchess’s visit to Picton Barracks is part of her increasingly busy schedule of royal engagements as she steps in to cover for other senior royals facing health challenges.

In recent months, Sophie’s royal duties have significantly increased, with the number of her engagements more than doubling this September compared to the same period last year—37 completed so far versus 18 in 2023.

Next week, the duchess is set to appear on the CBeebies Bedtime Story segment, where she will read Specs for Rex by Yasmeen Ismail in celebration of World Sight Day.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been labeled “used as cash cows” by a PR expert, who points to a significant misstep following their high-profile move to America in 2020. 

The couple made headlines when they announced their plans to step down from royal duties in January 2020 and relocated to California with their son, Archie.

According to PR expert Carla Speight, the choice to work with US agents marked a pivotal mistake for the couple. 

In an interview with Express.co.uk, Speight stated, “When Harry left his royal duties, he was exploited by American agents. He was suddenly granted the freedom to say whatever he wanted.”

She added that Harry felt hurt after his proposals to work with the palace from afar to protect his family were dismissed. 

“The agents he worked with ran with it,” she said, implying that their newfound freedom may have led to complications in managing their public image.

Carla Speight has revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were encouraged to “speak their truth” rather than receive the necessary guidance to navigate their exit from royal life. 

“They both needed support to enter the real world outside of the palace gates, and instead, they were used as cash cows,” Speight stated, highlighting the mismanagement of their public narrative.

Since stepping down as senior working royals, the couple has frequently shared their experiences within the Firm, culminating in their explosive Netflix series released in December 2022, followed by Harry’s tell-all memoir just weeks later. 

This candidness has not come without its consequences, as reports suggest that friends of the couple are growing concerned that they may be “drifting apart.”

Harry has recently embarked on several solo trips, visiting both the UK and Africa, while Meghan has remained in California.
