EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle Accused of ‘Staging’ Her ‘Vile’ Princess Diana Crash Site Video to ‘Stoke Publicity For Her New Wine Launch’

**Meghan Markle Accused of ‘Staging’ Video Near Princess Diana’s Fatal Crash Site to Promote New Wine Release**

*Published Oct. 24, 2025, 7:30 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle is facing criticism for allegedly “staging” a video near the site of Princess Diana’s fatal car crash to promote her latest As Ever wine release — a move sources described to RadarOnline.com as both “vile” and “desperate.”

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, quietly unveiled a new product from her lifestyle brand last week: a 2024 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. The announcement came just hours before she jetted off to Paris Fashion Week. However, a video circulating online showing Meghan near the Pont de l’Alma tunnel—the exact location where Diana died in 1997—overshadowed her visit and sparked a furious backlash. Critics accused her of using the moment for attention.

### Video Sparks Backlash Near Diana’s Crash Site

Industry sources revealed that the footage, which showed the duchess pausing to reflect with her feet up in the back of a car near the scene of Diana’s tragic accident, was part of “behind-the-scenes” material filmed during her Paris visit. Insiders claim this was intended to “stoke publicity” around the surprise wine launch by filming near the poignant location.

A Hollywood insider commented, “The timing felt far too deliberate to be a coincidence. Meghan’s team knew that filming anywhere near that spot would draw massive attention. Pairing it with a wine launch called ‘bright and balanced’ rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Promoting a product is fine—but not against the backdrop of such a tragic location.”

### Markle’s Wine Launch Overshadowed

Markle’s new wine, sold under her As Ever brand, was quietly added to the company’s website with minimal fanfare. A single Instagram post read, *“We heard you missed us. We’re back… and we brought a friend.”* The photo showcased As Ever’s signature preserves alongside a bottle of the new Sauvignon Blanc chilling in an ice.

Priced at $30 per bottle and available in sets of three, six, or twelve, the release marks Markle’s third wine under her growing lifestyle label, which launched last spring. The duchess had previously expressed plans to expand the range to include sparkling wines and additional blends.

However, hopes for a soft launch were quickly derailed by the uproar surrounding her Paris appearance. Markle—dressed head-to-toe in Balenciaga—attended the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2026 showcase before being photographed later that evening near the Alma underpass, where Diana’s Mercedes crashed.

### Sources Split on Markle’s Motives

A source close to the Sussexes defended the duchess, stating, “There was nothing calculated about it. It was a quiet, private moment that someone on her team happened to capture. Sadly, it’s been spun into something malicious. Meghan would never deliberately use Diana’s memory for attention—that idea is deeply unfair.”

Still, others within royal circles described the move as calculated. One royal insider explained, “The visuals were terrible. Meghan’s fully aware of the significance of that place and what it symbolizes. Filming there while rolling out a luxury brand inevitably looked orchestrated—even if that wasn’t her intention.”

Another source added, “Meghan is under real pressure to show that As Ever can succeed on its own merits, but moments like this do more harm than good. The new wine rollout—a product launch immediately followed by a dramatic Paris appearance—felt a little too perfectly timed to be coincidental.”

### PR Experts Call the Moment ‘Grotesque’

Public reaction has been swift and harsh, with some former royal staffers labeling the moment “grotesque.” A Hollywood PR strategist remarked, “Meghan’s trying to carve out a space alongside people like Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham—polished, aspirational, and self-made. But missteps like this undermine that image. When the messaging feels contrived, it shifts the focus from her products to the drama, and that’s the last thing her brand needs.”

Friends of Markle say her visit to Paris was purely to support Balenciaga’s new creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, with whom she shares a long-standing friendship. Still, the fallout from the Paris trip shows no signs of fading.

One source concluded, “Everything Meghan does is watched and analyzed, but this time she gave her detractors exactly what they wanted. For someone usually so careful about her image, it was an uncharacteristic mistake.”

Meghan Markle’s Barefoot Greeting Sparks Outrage and Disgust… after Prince Harry Confessed Unhygienic Habit Made Prince William ‘Completely Freaked Out’

**Meghan Markle Reveals Why She Goes Barefoot When Greeting Guests, Despite Royals’ Disapproval**

*Published Oct. 24, 2025, 6:20 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle has confessed that she goes barefoot whenever greeting guests at her home, years after revealing that the casual habit seemingly disgusted Prince William and Kate Middleton, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The California native, 44, explained why she loves welcoming others in this very informal way, even though the highly casual, shoeless look wasn’t a hit with the U.K. royals.

### Going Barefoot ‘Demystifies’

Markle opened up about her domestic dressing habits during a talk with college friend Courtney Adamo about her book, *The Family Home: Inspiring Ideas for a Home Filled with Joy*, at a bookstore in Summerland, California, on Thursday, October 23.

When at the Montecito mansion she shares with her husband, Prince Harry, Markle gushed about how she loves to answer the door “barefoot” and with an “apron on.”

“It demystifies,” she told the Godmother’s Bookstore audience and viewers watching via the store’s Substack live stream. “People walk in and go, ‘Oh, she’s in this with me.’ And what are they drawn to? Your kitchen. They come right in, and suddenly everyone’s a little bit softened,” Markle added, describing the barefoot practice.

### Cringeworthy First Meeting With Future In-Laws

Markle tried the laid-back barefoot look, along with a big hug, when meeting her future brother and sister-in-law for the first time in 2016.

Harry, 40, wrote in his 2023 memoir, *Spare*, that the gesture didn’t go over well with William, 43, and Middleton, 43.

The encounter took place at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where Harry and Markle were living together while still dating.

“[It] completely freaked him out. He recoiled,” Harry wrote about his brother upon Markle’s greeting. “Willy didn’t hug many strangers. Whereas Meg hugged most strangers.”

### ‘Really Jarring’

Markle herself recalled her barefoot-and-jeans look and informal greeting style in the couple’s 2022 Netflix docuseries, *Harry & Meghan*.

“Even when Will and Kate came over, and I had met her for the first time, they came over for dinner. I remember I was in ripped jeans, and I was barefoot,” the *As Ever* founder detailed.

“Like, I was a hugger, I’ve always been a hugger. I didn’t realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits,” she continued about meeting William and Kate.

“I guess I quickly realized that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside. That there is a forward-facing way of being,” Markle added about the Prince and Princess of Wales, calling it “surprising.”

### ‘It’s Bad Manners!’

While the future king and queen were unnerved by the barefoot, hug-filled greeting, some royal fans agreed it might have been too much.

“When you have to be barefoot or wear an apron to make people feel comfortable? There’s clearly something wrong with your personality,” one person griped on X.

A second user noted, “Many people think it’s bad manners to greet guests without shoes!”

A third poster pointed out: “If someone greeted me barefoot, I would first internally panic that I was early and had caught them unaware. If that were not the case, I would consider they were being massively over-casual with me. Neither of which is good. In terms of manners, it’s quite disrespectful.”

A fourth user speculated, “Maybe she thought it was American-cute,” referring to Markle’s barefoot approach when meeting William and Middleton.

Despite mixed reactions, Meghan Markle’s barefoot greeting remains an intimate expression of warmth and informality in her home.

Prince Andrew’s Legal Nightmare: Disgraced Royal Could Still Face Trial as Epstein Accuser’s New Book Is Revealed — Scandal is ‘The Most Serious Crisis for the Monarchy’

**Prince Andrew’s Top Biographer Warns Former Duke of York Could Still Face Court Over Jeffrey Epstein Allegations**

*Published October 21, 2025, 8:01 p.m. ET*

In the wake of disgraced Prince Andrew relinquishing his royal titles, his leading biographer has claimed the former Duke of York could still be held accountable for claims made by another Jeffrey Epstein victim—claims that might lead him to court, RadarOnline.com reveals.

Andrew Lownie, author of *Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York*, made this sensational assertion just one day before Epstein victim and Andrew’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, *Nobody’s Girl*, was released on Tuesday, October 21.

**“Serious Crisis for the Monarchy”**

“I think this is probably the most serious crisis for the monarchy since the abdication, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Andrew is actually put on trial,” Lownie boldly stated on *The Telegraph’s* The Daily T podcast.

“There are going to be more damaging revelations. There will be more leaked emails. Another victim’s memoir is coming out next month.”

“Who knows what might emerge from Congress or if other victims will come forward,” he added.

Lownie alleged that in Giuffre’s case, Andrew “tried to avoid the summons by going up to Balmoral. He refused to cooperate with either the victim’s lawyers or law enforcement agencies, even with mutual treaty assistance being used to try and get him to come forward.”

“He and Sarah Ferguson are material witnesses. For the sake of the victims, I hope they will cooperate in the future because, as people who were in these houses, they would have seen a lot that could be very useful,” Lownie claimed.

Like Andrew, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, 66, also relinquished her royal title and has been embroiled in the Epstein scandal.

**Andrew Settled Lawsuit Out of Court**

Andrew settled his civil sexual assault lawsuit with Giuffre out of court in February 2022.

**“Vigorous” Denial**

“I don’t think this can be any argument. Andrew has never responded to any of the allegations made to him,” Lownie commented regarding the prince and Giuffre’s claim that she was forced to have sex with the late Queen Elizabeth II’s son.

When host Camilla Tominey noted that Andrew “vehemently” denied Giuffre’s claims, Lownie responded, “He could have addressed the allegations rather than simply deny them.”

In Andrew’s announcement relinquishing his titles, he again stated, “As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

Giuffre claims she was forced to have sex with the disgraced prince when she was underage, detailing the encounters in her memoir.

**A “Distraction” to King Charles III’s Reign**

Andrew initially stepped back from royal duties after Epstein’s 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges. The financier died that same year in prison while awaiting trial.

The prince was later stripped of his military titles and royal patronages by the queen in 2022.

On October 17, Andrew announced that after “a discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.”

Lownie criticized the prince’s response, saying, “This matter should have been dealt with a long time ago. If he were the honorable man who put his country and the monarchy first, it would have been dealt with. He would have left Royal Lodge.”

The author added, “I don’t feel the palace has dealt with this very well in terms of damage limitation. It’s too little, too late.”

King Charles V Prince William! ‘Dying’ Monarch ‘Not Speaking’ to Son Over Shocking Revelations About His Childhood, Parents’ Divorce and Plans to Change the Monarchy

**A New Royal Family Feud Brewing Between King Charles and Prince William**

*Published Oct. 19, 2025, 5:45 p.m. ET*

Move over, Harry — RadarOnline.com has learned there’s a new royal family feud brewing between King Charles and his other son, Prince William. Reports suggest that the distance between the two is growing amid ongoing tension.

Sources reveal that the relationship between the 76-year-old king and his eldest son has devolved into what some describe as “total silence.” The rift reportedly began after William made recent remarks about his upbringing, his parents’ divorce, and his future role as royal successor — comments that reportedly upset King Charles.

In a candid interview, William shared his commitment to providing his children — son George, 12, daughter Charlotte, 10, and son Louis, 7 — with the calm family life he never quite enjoyed.

“I think it’s really important that the atmosphere is created at home,” William said. “You have to have that feeling of warmth, that feeling of safety, security, and love.”

Elaborating further, he remarked, “My parents got divorced… so that lasted a short period of time.”

### A Kingdom Under Attack

Royal correspondent Phil Dampier weighed in on William’s comments, telling *Women’s Day*: “Bringing up the failure of Charles and Diana’s marriage doesn’t achieve much and smacks of Harry’s complaining. The king and the prince need to be singing from the same song sheet.”

Dampier added, “As far as Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are concerned, they have their hands full without William rocking the boat.”

Despite this, William’s reflections on his family life reportedly hit a nerve with King Charles. William said, “I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, and I hope we don’t go back to some of the practices in the past that Harry and I had to grow up with.”

A royal insider responded to William’s remarks: “That hurt, and although the king won’t say anything in return, he was deeply upset by some of what William said. Sometimes he feels he is being undermined on all sides.”

### Tense Family Reunion

William is also reportedly still reeling over Prince Harry’s recent rare meeting with their father. After months of talks about reconciliation, Charles agreed to a sit-down with his youngest son.

One source at the time said, “William is staggered that his father’s allowing Harry back into the fold like this prodigal son figure.”

Their nearly hour-long formal meeting took place on September 10 at Clarence House, coinciding with Harry’s visit to London. The last time Charles and Harry had a face-to-face reunion was in February 2024, following the king’s revelation of his cancer diagnosis.

### William’s Royal Duty

Insiders reveal that King Charles is currently busy downplaying Harry’s comments made in California. Now, he must also contend with William’s critical statements.

“All the time the king is battling his cancer and doing his best to be a unifying influence in an increasingly diverse time for society,” the source added. “Anything that questions him or how he is doing the job is not helpful.”

“It’s all about tradition and continuity, and William, who took an oath of allegiance at the coronation, needs to remember that.”

EXCLUSIVE: Kate Middleton Set to Lean on Royal ‘Rock’ Who Lives Only 10 Minutes From Future ‘Forever Home’ as She Continues to Recover From Cancer Nightmare

Posted on by
Reply

Oct. 17, 2025, Published 7:20 p.m. ET

Kate Middleton will lean heavily on one of her closest friends in the royal family, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, as she continues her recovery from cancer. The two women are soon to become near neighbors, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The Princess of Wales, 43, and Prince William, also 43, are preparing to move later this year from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge, a larger residence on the Windsor estate described by royal insiders as their “forever home.” Their property lies just a 10-minute drive from Sophie’s residence, Bagshot Park – a proximity royal sources say will allow the two women’s already deep friendship to “grow even stronger.”

A Friendship Built on Loyalty and Trust

A palace source shared, “Sophie has been a constant presence in Kate’s life over the past year – calm, loyal, and completely dependable. She’s the one person Kate feels she can really talk to without judgment.”

“Kate’s move means they’ll be able to see each other far more often, and that support network will be invaluable as Kate continues her recovery.”

Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis in 2024, revealing she had begun preventative chemotherapy after abdominal surgery. Since then, she has stepped back from public duties to focus on her health and her three children – Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.

According to sources, Sophie has become “a rock” for the Princess during this difficult period, offering both private reassurance and practical help.

Shared Experiences Strengthen Sophie and Middleton’s Bond

One royal expert explained that the women’s shared experiences have formed the foundation of their friendship. “They’re still incredibly close,” they said. “Both came from similar, down-to-earth backgrounds and had to navigate the same maze of royal protocol and expectations. That shared experience has created a bond and understanding between them that very few people could ever have.”

The source added that the two women’s relationship has always been rooted in warmth and authenticity. Their first public display of camaraderie occurred during a carriage procession at Royal Ascot in 2017, when Sophie lost her balance and fell on top of Middleton, and they both erupted in laughter.

A Friendship Marked by Genuine Affection

A source recalled, “It was completely natural and unguarded – nothing staged about it. In that moment, everyone watching could see their friendship was genuine and full of warmth.”

Their closeness deepened following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and later Kate’s health crisis. “Sophie stood beside Kate on the Foreign Office balcony in November 2024, only a few months after Kate had completed her chemotherapy. She gently placed a hand on her back – such a simple gesture, but it spoke volumes about the depth of their friendship.”

Another royal insider noted the pair’s friendship has taken on a “sisterly” quality. “They might be aunt and niece by marriage, but their relationship has always felt much closer than that,” the source said. “They share everything – laughter, worries, and the pressures that come with family and royal life. Sophie has become a calm, reassuring anchor for Kate at a time when she needs it most.”

Sophie’s Steady Support During a New Chapter

Insiders have also highlighted the deep trust between the two women. One said, “It’s difficult to see them simply as relatives – their connection is more like that of sisters or very close cousins. Sophie’s been a tremendous source of guidance, helping Kate navigate royal life while balancing motherhood and public duty.”

“She’s offered real comfort and stability to both Kate and William over what’s been an incredibly challenging 18 months.”

The Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to complete their move to Forest Lodge before the end of the year, with aides describing it as a “permanent base” even after William becomes King – a new chapter for the family, and for Middleton, one which will be made easier by having what pals call her “royal rock,” Sophie, close at hand.

EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry ‘Still Seething’ Over Meghan Markle’s ‘Deafening Silence’ Over His Charity Controversy — ‘She’s Posting About Everything Except Support for Her Husband’

**Prince Harry ‘Still Seething’ Over Meghan Markle’s Silence Amid Sentebale Fallout**

*Published: October 6, 2025, 6:00 p.m. ET*

Prince Harry is reportedly “still seething” over Meghan Markle’s decision to stay silent on the fallout surrounding his departure from his beloved charity, Sentebale. This comes even as Markle has returned to social media with announcements about new business ventures, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The Duke of Sussex, 41, stepped down from Sentebale earlier this year after a bitter clash with chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka regarding the charity’s direction. The fierce dispute — which spilled into the public eye and drew rebukes from the UK’s Charity Commission — left Harry “heartbroken,” according to sources close to the royal.

### Meghan Markle’s Silence Sparks Tension at Home

As the controversy surrounding Sentebale deepened, Meghan Markle, 44, kept her distance. Instead of speaking out, she focused on reviving her Instagram account and promoting the couple’s newly signed Netflix deal.

One insider revealed, “Harry feels completely deserted. Meghan’s sharing posts about everything except standing by him. He’s upset, isolated, and bewildered. He thought she’d say something, even once, to show she’s on his side—but her silence has spoken volumes.”

The source added that the tension between the couple has been “simmering for weeks,” describing late-night arguments at their Montecito home. “He’s still seething about it,” the insider said. “At this point, it’s less about the charity and more about feeling that she’s left him to handle everything on his own.”

### The End of an Era for Sentebale

Harry co-founded Sentebale in 2006 alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to support children orphaned by HIV and AIDS. His resignation earlier this year, following a prolonged internal conflict, marked a painful end to nearly two decades of involvement with the charity.

The UK Charity Commission later criticized both Harry and Dr. Chandauka for allowing their disagreement to unfold publicly. Dr. Chandauka had previously accused Markle of causing a “stir” at a Sentebale fundraiser by making last-minute demands—a claim dismissed by Harry’s team but one that reignited scrutiny over the duchess’ role.

Since the incident, Markle has refrained from addressing the issue, despite growing momentum in her online presence.

### Markle’s Calculated Silence

A source close to the couple claimed that Markle’s silence is “totally intentional.” They explained, “This is a very delicate issue. Sentebale was Harry’s initiative from the beginning, and Meghan recognizes that. She’s staying quiet to prevent making things worse. She’s decided to back him behind the scenes instead of in public.”

However, others close to the Sussexes suggest that the duchess’ restraint has only deepened Harry’s feeling of isolation. A California-based friend said, “Harry thought Meghan would stand up for him—she’s always been outspoken about her truth. Her choice to stay quiet this time has left him feeling vulnerable.”

### Harry’s Next Move

Despite the strain in their relationship, Harry appears determined to move forward. His spokesperson confirmed that the royal exile is exploring ways to continue his humanitarian efforts in southern Africa.

“The duke remains absolutely committed to the cause he began nearly twenty years ago,” the spokesperson said. “All options remain on the table—whether starting a new charity or collaborating with others already working in the region.”

Yet, Markle’s reluctance to get involved has become impossible to ignore. “Now that Meghan and Harry have signed a new Netflix deal—said to be less lucrative but still noteworthy—people are questioning why she hasn’t spoken up for him,” a source commented. “She’s very outspoken when it comes to speaking on issues that affect her or that serve to promote her brand. Harry has always defended her publicly, even when it went against his family’s wishes. But right now, he appears to be on his own.”

EXCLUSIVE: The Reason No-Nonsense Princess Anne Is Refusing to Help Prince Harry Heal His Rift With King Charles

Posted on by
Reply

Oct. 3, 2025, Published 5:50 p.m. ET

Princess Anne has earned a reputation as the royal family’s hardest-working member – but sources tell RadarOnline.com there is “no way” that will extend to helping Prince Harry heal his rift with King Charles and The Firm.

Anne, 75, the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, has long been regarded as the monarchy’s most dependable figure. Last year, she completed 474 official engagements at home and abroad—more than any other royal—despite recovering from a concussion after a riding accident on her Gatcombe estate in Gloucestershire.

The Monarchy’s Most Dependable Workhorse

But insiders say her no-nonsense style means she has little appetite for involving herself in family dramas – including the breakdown in relations between her brother, 76, and his youngest son Harry, 41.

A source close to the Princess Royal claimed: Anne isn’t inclined to get involved in Harry’s issues. She feels it’s not her role – he decided to step away from royal duties, and with that choice, she believes, he also gave up the backing that comes with the family.

Harry Ignored the Ideal Guide

Another insider added: Had Harry sought guidance on life as the second-born, Anne would have been the ideal person to turn to. But since he’s made plain he doesn’t wish to embrace that role, she considers the issue finished.

Harry has admitted his relationship with Charles is strained. In his memoir Spare, he described feeling sidelined within the royal hierarchy. Observers note that Anne faced the same circumstances as a younger sibling but chose to embrace the role.

She became a key support to her mother during decades of service and played a central role in Charles’ coronation as Gold Stick-in-Waiting – a position of honor symbolizing her loyalty to the sovereign.

Loyalty Over Family Feuds

An insider claimed: Anne would have been perfectly placed to guide Harry. She has proved that being the second child doesn’t have to mean being sidelined – it can mean becoming the monarch’s most reliable support. But I don’t think she will step in now. For Anne, loyalty is everything, and she sees Harry as having betrayed his father, his brother, and the entire royal institution.

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, 44, infamously stepped back from their senior roles in 2020 and have since settled in California. Their public criticisms of the monarchy—from the Oprah Winfrey interview to Spare—have widened the gulf with the royal family.

Anne Keeps Her Focus on Duty

While Charles has made attempts to rebuild contact, William remains estranged, and Anne, sources say, sees little to be gained from intervening.

Anne has always been about keeping her head down and focusing on her duties, one family associate said. She doesn’t view it as her responsibility to sort out other people’s messes – particularly when those difficulties stem from their own decisions.

EXCLUSIVE: How Picky Prince Harry Always Hated Princess Diana’s ‘Rags-to-Riches’ Dinner Treat

**Prince Harry May Have Inherited Princess Diana’s Rebellious Streak — But He Never Shared Her Love for Lobster Thermidor**

*Published Oct. 2, 2025, 7:10 p.m. ET*

Prince Harry may have inherited his mother’s rebellious nature, but one thing he did not share with Princess Diana was her fondness for lobster thermidor — a dish the late Princess of Wales adored but he could never stomach, according to those familiar with the family’s dining habits.

Princess Diana, who tragically passed away in 1997 at the age of 36, enjoyed the French classic lobster dish, made with mustard, brandy, and cheese, as a weekly treat at Kensington Palace.

### Diana’s Private Indulgence

Former royal chef Darren McGrady revealed that Diana considered lobster thermidor too indulgent to order at restaurants, insisting it be prepared at home instead. Despite this, Harry was far less enthusiastic about the dish.

A family source shared, “Diana saw lobster thermidor as a special luxury, but Harry never liked it. He was always a picky eater with certain flavors, and seafood just didn’t appeal to him.”

McGrady, who served as Diana’s personal chef from 1993 until her death, explained that she would make compromises for her sons. “If William and Harry were home, I’d do barbecue ribs and corn with banana flan or ice cream afterward. That way, everyone was happy,” he recalled.

### A Dish With a Story

Lobster thermidor has a storied history. Once regarded as food for the poor in coastal communities, lobster gradually evolved into a symbol of luxury dining over the centuries.

Nutritionist Charlotte Faure Green commented, “It’s a bit of a rags-to-riches story. Lobster was once a humble food and now it is the height of luxury — and with that, pretty expensive.”

She added, “And the taste is just not for everyone. Some love its sweet, briny flavor and delicate texture, while others find it overhyped or fiddly to eat.”

### Nutrition Behind the Luxury

Despite its reputation, lobster remains a healthy choice when simply prepared. According to Faure Green, “Lobster is a lean, high-quality source of protein and naturally low in fat, containing all the essential amino acids.”

She noted that lobster is rich in selenium, copper, zinc, iodine, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which support heart health, brain function, thyroid balance, and immunity.

### Food as a Reflection of Personality

Those closest to Diana say her approach to food reflected her personality. While she cared deeply about appearances in public, privately she enjoyed comfort and fun.

One friend remarked, “For Diana, food was about creating moments at home. She wouldn’t order lobster in public because it felt showy, but in her own kitchen, it was a private indulgence she really enjoyed.”

Now 41, Harry still has not warmed to the delicacy, despite its popularity in his adopted home of America.

A royal watcher noted, “It brought back those childhood stories — Diana might serve lobster thermidor, but Harry always refused it. It was one dish he simply wouldn’t go near.”

Another family insider added, “For Diana, lobster was an emotional treat — it gave her joy and comfort. For Harry, it only meant being urged to eat something he couldn’t stand.”

**Prince Harry May Have Inherited Princess Diana’s Rebellious Streak — but Not Her Love of Lobster Thermidor**

*Published Oct. 2, 2025, 7:10 p.m. ET*

Prince Harry may have inherited his mother’s rebellious streak, but one thing he did not share with Princess Diana was her fondness for lobster thermidor — a dish she adored but he could never stomach, those familiar with the family’s dining habits have revealed to RadarOnline.com.

The late Princess of Wales, who tragically passed away in 1997 at the age of 36, enjoyed this French classic — lobster combined with mustard, brandy, and cheese — as a weekly treat at Kensington Palace.

### Diana’s Private Indulgence

Former royal chef Darren McGrady shared that Diana considered lobster thermidor too indulgent to order at restaurants, insisting it be prepared at home instead. Harry, however, was far less enthusiastic about the dish.

A family source explained, “Diana saw lobster thermidor as a special luxury, but Harry never liked it. He was always a picky eater with certain flavors, and seafood just didn’t appeal to him.”

McGrady, who served as Diana’s personal chef from 1993 until her passing, added that the princess made compromises to accommodate her sons’ tastes. “If William and Harry were home, I’d prepare barbecue ribs and corn with banana flan or ice cream for dessert. That way, everyone was happy,” he said.

### A Dish With a Story

Lobster thermidor itself boasts a fascinating history. Once considered a humble food for coastal poor communities, lobster gradually transformed over centuries into a symbol of luxury dining.

Nutritionist Charlotte Faure Green commented, “It’s a bit of a rags-to-riches story. Lobster was once viewed as basic food, but now it’s regarded as a height of luxury — and it’s quite expensive.”

She added, “The taste isn’t for everyone. Some people love its sweet, briny flavor and delicate texture, while others find it overhyped or difficult to eat.”

### Nutrition Behind the Luxury

According to the same nutritionist, lobster remains a healthy choice when prepared simply. She explained, “Lobster is a lean, high-quality source of protein and naturally low in fat, containing all the essential amino acids.”

“It is also rich in selenium, copper, zinc, iodine, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which contribute to heart health, brain function, thyroid balance, and immunity,” she noted.

### Food as a Reflection of Personality

Those closest to Diana say her approach to food reflected her character — caring deeply about appearances in public, but privately enjoying comfort and fun.

One friend said, “For Diana, food was about creating moments at home. She wouldn’t order lobster in public because it felt showy, but in her own kitchen, it was a private indulgence she truly enjoyed.”

Now 41, Harry has never warmed to the delicacy, despite its popularity in his adopted home of America.

A royal watcher observed, “It brings back those childhood stories — Diana might serve lobster thermidor, but Harry always refused it. It was one dish he simply wouldn’t go near.”
