EXCLUSIVE: KING CHARLES “TOO BUSY” TO SEE HARRY OR MEGHAN DURING NORTH AMERICAN TRIP

EXCLUSIVE: KING CHARLES SNUBS HARRY & MEGHAN
He’s flying across the Atlantic — but not across the emotional divide.
King Charles has confirmed an official state visit to Canada next week, but will not be seeing Prince Harry or Meghan Markle — despite being on the same continent. And royal insiders say it’s no accident.
“Charles claims his schedule is packed,” one palace source tells #ShuterScoop, “but let’s be real — if he wanted to make time for Harry, he would.”
The snub comes just weeks after Harry gave a tearful BBC interview, admitting the two haven’t spoken and saying, “There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore… I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
But Charles isn’t budging. “The palace will spin it as a logistical issue,” another insider says, “but this is a choice. It’s calculated — and it’s cold.”
While the king and Queen Camilla are expected to meet with Canada’s Governor General and Prime Minister, there are “no plans” to meet with the Sussexes, who now live just south of the border in California.
The timing couldn’t be more awkward, following Harry’s plea for reconciliation and his loss in a legal battle over UK taxpayer-funded security — a sticking point he claims helped fracture the relationship.
The message from the monarch? Loud and clear.
“This isn’t just about security anymore,” says the source. “This is about pride. And Charles isn’t ready to extend an olive branch — even with cancer, even with a clock ticking.”
The Sussexes, for their part, are said to be ‘deeply hurt’ but not surprised. “They know how this family operates,” the insider adds. “Forgiveness isn’t always in the royal playbook.”
Whether it’s pettiness or palace protocol, one thing is certain: the royal rift remains — and it just went international.

EXCLUSIVE: VIOLET AFFLECK MAY TELL ALL ABOUT DAD’S MARRIAGE TO J.LO — “SHE’S A LOOSE CANNON,” SAYS INSIDER
Is Ben and J.Lo’s love story about to be rewritten — by his own daughter?
Insiders tell #ShuterScoop that there is growing panic behind the scenes that Violet Affleck, 19, is getting a little too comfortable speaking her mind — and may be gearing up to spill secrets about her dad’s rocky marriage to Jennifer Lopez.
“She’s a brilliant and fearless young woman,” says one Hollywood source, “but she’s also unpredictable. And when it comes to family, she doesn’t hold back.”
The warning signs are already there. Violet, currently a freshman at Yale, recently detailed a heated argument with her mother, Jennifer Garner, in a public academic essay — published in a respected global health journal, no less.
“She’s testing the boundaries,” a family friend explains. “And the fear is, if she’s willing to call out her mom over wildfire denial, what might she say about her father’s relationship with J.Lo?”
Sources close to the Affleck-Lopez camp are “very nervous” that Violet may soon speak up about the tension at home, Lopez’s influence over Ben, and how the blended family dynamic has been behind closed doors.
“She’s extremely close to her mom, and not always thrilled with how things went down with her dad and J.Lo,” another insider dishes. “Violet sees everything. And now she’s finding her voice.”
One source flat-out called her a “loose cannon,” pointing to her recent activism, outspoken essays, and bold speeches as proof that she’s becoming a young woman unafraid to challenge authority — including famous parents.
Ben and J.Lo, who tied the knot in 2022 after rekindling their early-2000s romance, have faced increasing rumors of strain in recent months. If Violet breaks her silence about what’s really going on behind the scenes, “it could be explosive,” says one Hollywood publicist.
“This isn’t just a celebrity kid going off to college,” the source warns. “This is someone with a front-row seat to Hollywood’s most-watched marriage — and she’s not afraid to speak her truth.”
Is a tell-all coming? Stay tuned — Violet may be the Affleck no one saw coming.

JEFF BEZOS AND LAUREN SÁNCHEZ ACCUSED OF SETTING UP PDA PAP SHOTS ON $500M SUPER YACHT
Spanked, snapped — and possibly staged?
That’s what some insiders are whispering after a new wave of ultra-revealing paparazzi photos showed Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sánchez packing on the PDA aboard their $500 million superyacht off the coast of Cannes — complete with spanking, ear-kissing, and bikini-clad posing.
But multiple sources tell #ShuterScoop the camera-ready couple may not have been “caught” — they may have orchestrated the whole thing.
“Lauren has set up photos before,” a well-placed source reveals. “She knows her angles, and she knows exactly where the cameras are. This didn’t happen by accident.”
In the pics, Sánchez, 55, lounges in a tiny leopard print thong bikini, on all fours, hat in hand, while Bezos, 61, grins and raises a hand to swat her behind — a moment captured with remarkable clarity from a distance.
“Come on,” the insider scoffs. “If Jeff didn’t like the pictures, he’d just buy them and destroy them. He’s that rich.”
The couple — and their cameras — haven’t missed a moment lately. From sun-drenched deck cuddles to staged-looking selfies and stylized strolls through Cannes, Bezos and Sánchez are clearly embracing the spotlight ahead of their lavish June wedding.
And some say the attention is exactly the point.
“These two are loving the circus,” the source continues. “The wedding, the yacht, the bachelorette weekend with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner — it’s all part of the brand now. They’re selling fantasy, not privacy.”
The bride-to-be has leaned into full bridal glam during her pre-wedding bash in Paris, donning white at every turn and hosting a boat party on the Seine with Katy Perry, Eva Longoria, and Kim K.
Now, with over 200 VIP guests expected for their yacht wedding in Italy, the Bezos-Sánchez show is only heating up.
But as one Hollywood publicist put it: “When you’re the richest man on Earth, you don’t get papped… unless you want to.”
