And Kate dazzled in a camel coat for the London engagement, while Wills kept warm in a dark navy jacket as they spoke to paramedics about one of the most challenging periods in the London Ambulance Service’s history.

The future king and queen have continued carrying out their royal engagements in the past two weeks since Meghan and Harry’s tell-all interview aired.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed a string of claims including that they had faced racism within the Royal Family, that Meghan had struggled with her mental health and that Kate had made her sister-in-law cry.

And it was overnight claimed that William, 38, would have been hurt by the interview, with experts saying: “For Meghan to name Kate in a negative light is worse than being attacked himself.”

The Queen issued a quiet statement saying the Royal Family were unhappy to hear of Meghan and Harry’s experiences, but added “recollections may vary”.

It comes as…

And during a royal engagement last week, Prince William shut down racism claims made by his brother, insisting: “We’re very much not a racist family”.

While at the time he said he had not yet spoken to Prince Harry, 36, reports have since surfaced the brothers managed to speak over the weekend.

However, the talks were reportedly not “productive”.

Meghan Markle’s pal Gayle King revealed she had spoken to Meghan and Harry over the weekend as the fallout from the chat continues.

She told CBS This Morning Harry had spoken to his brother and dad Prince Charles for the first time since the explosive interview aired last Sunday.


But Gayle said those talks were “unproductive” as the royal rift deepens.

She said: “Well, I did actually call them to see how they are feeling, it’s true, Harry has talked to his brother and his father, too.

“The word I was given was, those conversations were not productive. But they are glad they at least started a conversation.”
