“He is well in with the royals and has become an honorary Brit in the process as he spends so much time there making his movies,” they added.

As for his personal life, the tipster said, “He's been in hot pursuit for a long time, and she's warmed to him, and why wouldn't she? He's perhaps one of, if not the most powerful and bankable stars in the world. Tom is killing it right now.”
