Royal news The royal family were said to be on “tenterhooks” as Prince Harry took to the stand last week in his legal battle against the UK press over alleged phone hacking. But according to royal insiders, it was the Prince and Princess of Wales who were feeling the most on edge as Harry, 38, dropped bombshell after bombshell during the courtroom showdown. “They’re in completely uncharted waters here and have no idea what to expect, with some questioning whether William and Kate could even be summoned,” says our source. “William could easily be a key witness in some of these incidents and he could, in theory, be called upon to clarify some of the details.” The bombshells Harry has been spilling have, up until now, been strictly confined to…

Augie is loving being a big brother already.” FAMILY COMES FIRST Now, friends of the elated couple say the adorable new addition to the British royals has made the pair even more protective of their growing family - which spells bad news for Eugenie’s cooling friendship with her cousin Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. “Eugenie hasn’t outright…

TV update It's likely there were more than a few people waking up with sore heads last week after the Sunrise crew farewelled their beloved leader David Koch by throwing the party to end all parties! “Everyone was desperate to show Kochie just how much he means to them by celebrating his incredible 20 years at the network,” an insider spills to Woman’s Day. "Kochie was adamant he didn't want it to be anything too over the top or fussy, but you can bet everyone from the cleaners to the talent and management were invited - he had time for everyone and they all wanted to say a proper goodbye.” While details of the festivities were kept under lock and key right up until the final hour, Woman’s Day hears…
