How to watch the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
USA Today, May 16, 2018

Americans will have no trouble finding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding playing on a screen nearby on Saturday. The real difficulty will be in avoiding it for those surly few who can't stand weddings or royals or both.

But that lot can take themselves off to the wilderness with no Wi-Fi; everybody else will settle themselves in front of their tellys or devices very early in the morning to consume gallons of tea, nosh on crumpets and marvel at the ceremonial magic the British will conjure from the 948-year-old ramparts of Windsor Castle.

More than 2 billion people around the world watched the 2011 wedding of Prince William and the former Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey in London, according to leading British wedding planning app Bridebook.

ABC

Good Morning America leads off the day with a five-hour edition, with Robin Roberts and David Muir hosting the live coverage starting at 5 a.m. ET/2 PT from Windsor. (An additional hour of GMA will air at 7 a.m. PT for the West Coast.)

The network's news magazine, 20/20, will cover the nuptials with hour-long specials on Friday and Saturday at 10 ET/7 PT,  with Muir anchoring and correspondent Deborah Roberts reporting from Windsor.

BBC America

The U.S. version of the United Kingdom's "The Beeb," the cable channel will air the wedding live as a direct simulcast of BBC One’s coverage, starting at 4:15 a.m ET/1:15 PT). An encore presentation of the wedding will air at 10 p.m. ET/7 PT.

Royal wedding: What we know about who's coming, who's not

BBC World News

BBC’s international 24-hour news service on Saturday will air the BBC’s wedding coverage starting at midnight ET/9 p.m. PT Friday with pre-wedding content.

Coverage of the wedding will start at 5 a.m. ET/2 PT, when BBC World News will join BBC One's coverage. Then, starting at 9 a.m. ET/6 PT, coverage will continue with a BBC News special about the wedding. 


CNN

Live coverage will begin from Windsor at 4 a.m. ET/1 PT, anchored by Anderson Cooper, Alisyn Camerota and Don Lemon along with CNN’s royal correspondent, Max Foster, plus royal commentators Victoria Arbiter and Kate Williams, royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith and fashion expert Joe Zee.

The network even signed up a new commentator, Boston University dean Harvey Young, who was Markle’s theater professor at Northwestern University.

CNN’s coverage will be simulcast across CNN/U.S., CNN International and HLN. The coverage will replay at 8 p.m. ET/5 PT on Saturday and on HLN at 3 p.m. ET/noon PT.

Royal wedding 2018: Thousands watch Windsor dress rehearsal for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's nuptials
Evening Standard/UK, May 17, 2018

(https://static.standard.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2018/05/17/12/weddingrehearsals1705b.jpg?w660)

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were the only key figures missing from a dress rehearsal in Windsor today ahead of the royal wedding.

Thousands of people turned out to get a flavour of how Saturday will unfold, when the newlyweds head on a 25-minute carriage ride through the town.

Some 250 members of the armed forces are expected to take part in Saturday's festivities, and Thursday's dry run gave organisers a chance to put some finishing touches to the event.

Roads around Windsor were closed as wellwishers basked beneath blue skies and beaming sunshine - weather that is expected to stay around for the weekend.

Meghan Markle confirms her father won't attend royal wedding
CNN, May 17, 2018

London (CNN) — The American actress Meghan Markle has confirmed that her father, Thomas Markle, will not attend her wedding to Britain's Prince Harry on Saturday.

Her statement ends days of speculation over the 73-year-old's health, and a controversy over whether he staged a series of paparazzi-style photographs.

"Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health," Meghan Markle said in a statement provided by Kensington Palace Thursday.

"I would like to thank everyone who has offered generous messages of support. Please know how much Harry and I look forward to sharing our special day with you on Saturday."

Meghan Markle's half-sister, Samantha Grant, 'injured in car crash' after 'confrontation with paparazzi'
The Telegraph/UK, May 17, 2018

Meghan Markle's half-sister, Samantha Grant, is reported to have been taken to hospital after being involved in a car crash following an alleged confrontation with paparazzi photographers.

The 53-year-old is said to have hit the vehicle's windscreen, suffering a broken ankle and fracturing her knee near her home in Florida on Wednesday.

Ms Grant's partner, named as Mark by celebrity gossip website TMZ, said their car hit a concrete barrier after attempting to avoid a photographer.

He told the website the incident happened near a toll booth, where he claimed a photographer veered in front of the couple's vehicle, leading him to swerve.

Motherly love! Fergie and Princess Beatrice share a warm hug after leaving London hotel - as the Duchess of York prepares to re-enter the royal fold at Harry and Meghan's wedding
Daily Mail/UK, May 17, 2018

There's been controversy over Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding guest list - with some members of the royal family failing to receive an invitation.

But one person who has made the guest list is Sarah Ferguson, after Harry fought to have her included.

***

Harry and Meghan's guest list has caused some raised eyebrows, with junior members of the royal family believed to be missing out on an invite.  ...

However, the Duchess of York is believed to have made the guest list, despite not being invited to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding in 2011. 

Harry is understood to have personally intervened to make sure Prince Andrew's ex-wife had an invitation to his wedding, along with the reception afterwards.

However, Fergie is understood to have been upset at not having received an invitation to the more intimate evening reception at Frogmore House.

Yeah. Quite a list of "Charities" the President and First Lady had to choose from.....

The organizations chosen by the British prince and his American fiancee include the Children's HIV Association, Crisis, the Myna Mahila Foundation, Scotty's Little Soldiers, StreetGames, Surfers Against Sewage, and the Wilderness Foundation UK, per Kensington Palace.

Surfers Against Sewage is a favorite of mine right next to Skateboarders Against Scoliosis.

WINDSOR, England (AP) — Prince Charles will walk Meghan Markle down the aisle at the royal wedding — stepping in after the father of the bride fell ill just days before the ceremony.

Kensington Palace said Friday that Markle's future father-in-law, the heir to the British throne, would walk the American actress down the aisle at St. George's Chapel in Windsor for her wedding to Prince Harry. The palace says he "is pleased to be able to welcome Ms. Markle to the Royal Family in this way."

Royal wedding 2018 countdown: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are marrying tomorrow
CNET, May 18, 2018

<snip>

Give me some wedding dish!

The basics: It'll happen Saturday, May 19 at 12 p.m. UK time (7 a.m. ET, 4 a.m. PT) in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, the queen's weekend place just outside London. While we commoners can't attend, you can watch the pomp and circumstance unfold on TV.

The dress: Markle's gown is a closely kept secret, though we'll hazard a guess it won't be quite as conservative as Kate Middleton's gown from when she wed Prince William in 2011. Though some US fashionistas were hoping Markle would showcase togs by an American designer, the Daily Mail is reporting she's chosen a hand-stitched, beaded gown by Ralph & Russo, a London-based couture house founded by Australian designers Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo. Rumors are that the dress will cost the royals £100,000 ($134,000 or AU$179,000).

Harry's garb: Fewer people care about what Harry wears. It could be a simple suit, tuxedo or morning dress, but he has numerous military uniforms to choose from, including that of the British Army's Household Cavalry's Blues and Royals regiment. But it's frowned upon to wear that uniform with a beard, and the prince is unlikely to shave before the big day.

The tiara: Tiara watchers will be craning to see which diamond diadem rests on Markle's head. Some are hoping for the Spencer tiara worn by her late mother-in-law to-be, Diana, but that seems unlikely. The Cambridge Lover's Knot is a favorite, but seems to have been scooped up by Kate -- who is the Duchess of Cambridge, after all. The queen may simply have bought Markle a new tiara, as she did with Sarah Ferguson when Fergie married Prince Andrew in 1986, or have one created from already owned jewels, as was done with Sophie Rhys-Jones when Rhys-Jones wed Prince Edward in 1999.

The rings: Prince Harry designed his bride-to-be's ring to include two diamonds from his mother Diana's collection. The stone at the center is a three-carat, cushion-cut diamond from Botswana, a special destination for the couple. Her wedding ring is reportedly made from the same nugget of gold used for many royal brides in the past, including Diana and Kate. And Harry himself reportedly will wear a wedding ring, something his brother chooses not to do.

Meghan Markle will begin bridal procession alone, in bold feminist statement
CNN, May 18, 2018

Windsor (CNN) — Meghan Markle will make a striking feminist statement in her wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday, choosing not to be chaperoned for much of the procession down the aisle of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, CNN has learned.

In an unprecedented step for a royal bride in the UK, Markle will walk unescorted down the aisle of the chapel nave, after being met at the West Door by a member of the clergy. She will be accompanied in this first part of the wedding procession only by her bridesmaids and page boys, with the senior church figure walking ahead.

Prince Charles will join her when she reaches the Quire, where the main royal guests will be seated. The Prince -- Harry's father -- will walk Markle down the Quire aisle to the foot of the altar.

Oops! Palace Releases Official Royal Wedding Program — and Meghan's Dad Is Still in It
People, May 18, 2018

There are just a few more hours until Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot — and we now know how it’s all going to go down after the palace released the Order of Service Friday evening.

“Like any couple getting married, Prince Harry and Ms. Markle have taken a great deal of care in selecting all elements for their service,” Kensington Palace said in a statement released with the Order of Service. “This has been a collaborative effort led by Prince Harry and Ms. Markle.”

Here’s a breakdown of the lengthy Order of Service with everything you need to know — from the hymns to the vows.

1. There’s one glaring error.
 The palace released the Order of Service for Harry and Meghan’s wedding just a few hours before they officially tie the knot, and it’s full of details about the couple’s big day. And the most noticeable element of the document? Thomas Markle, Meghan’s father, is still included as the person who will walk Meghan down the aisle to the high altar of St. George’s Chapel. The error, the palace says, is simply a matter of timing.

“The Order of Service was produced before it became clear that Mr. Thomas Markle would be unable to attend the wedding on medical advice,” the palace said in a statement. “As a result, some aspects will be different to what has been printed. As previously announced, Ms. Markle has asked The Prince of Wales to accompany her down the aisle of The Quire.

The palace confirmed on Friday that Prince Charles will be walking Meghan down the second portion of the aisle of St. George’s Chapel.

2. And a few timing errors.
 There is also an error when it comes to the timing of arrivals: On the Order of Service, it says that Doria Ragland is arriving at 6 a.m. ET, but the palace says she’ll actually arrive at 6:42 a.m. It also says that Prince Charles will arrive at 6:42 a.m., when he’ll actually arrive at 6:45 a.m. (When it comes to the royal family, every minute counts!)

3. Prince Harry and Prince William will arrive at 6:40 a.m. ET.
 They’ll be followed by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, at 6:42 a.m., then Ragland, then Prince Charles, followed by the Queen, and finally, the bride herself.

The order of service for the wedding of Prince Henry of Wales and Ms Meghan Markle.

(6:25 ET) 11:25 BST: Members of the Royal Family will arrive at St George's Chapel. The congregation stand as the royals are taken to their seats

(6:40 ET) 11:40: Prince Harry and Prince William arrive at the west door of St George's Chapel

(6:40 ET) 11:45: Ms Markle's mother Doria Ragland arrives at the chapel

(6:52 ET) 11:52: The Queen arrives at the chapel

At the entrance of the bride, all stand.

A fanfare will sound at the bride's arrival.

A sudden the IRS is going to be all up in their private business because all of the non-US entities in which they have an interest will probably have to be reported on a Form 5471, or Form 8865, or Form 8621, and the financials will have to be provided, and the income will become subject to US income tax even if it’s not distributed.

Nope.  First, there are information-reporting obligations, which usually depend on imputed control and have nothing to do with income.  Second, income would be imputed even if neither of them actually received the money, and even if they never would.  Every UK mutual fund they’re invested in would be a PFIC which could give rise to phantom income. 

Having a US citizen or resident in a non-US family essentially means the IRS is everyone’s new best friend.

Meghan's something borrowed 

Meghan’s sparkling tiara is Queen Mary’s Diamond Bandeau, which has been loaned to her by Harry’s grandmother the Queen.

Royal brides are traditionally loaned priceless heirlooms to wear on their wedding day.

Meghan could have chosen the Spencer tiara - famously worn by Harry’s later mother Diana, Princess of Wales when she married the Prince of Wales in 1981.

But Meghan has instead selected this little known piece, which features a magnificent floral-shaped suspended brooch in the centre made of a large round diamond surrounded by nine smaller circular diamonds.

It was specifically made for the Queen’s grandmother Queen Mary in 1932 to accommodate the detachable brooch, which was given to Mary as a wedding present in 1893 by the County of Lincoln.

The bandeau is a flexible band of 11 intricate glittering sections, pierced with interlaced ovals and pave set with large and small brilliant diamonds.

The bandeau and the brooch were bequeathed by Queen Mary to her granddaughter the Queen on her death in 1953.

WINDSOR, England (AP) — Prince Charles will walk Meghan Markle down the aisle at the royal wedding — stepping in after the father of the bride fell ill just days before the ceremony.

Kensington Palace said Friday that Markle's future father-in-law, the heir to the British throne, would walk the American actress down the aisle at St. George's Chapel in Windsor for her wedding to Prince Harry. The palace says he "is pleased to be able to welcome Ms. Markle to the Royal Family in this way."

Poor Wallis Simpson.  She lived in the wrong century.

@mirraflake   Whoa.  Princess Diana was universally adored and only strayed because Charles had no use for her at all.  He married her for a decoration and she was very decorative. He loved another woman all his life and he has her now.

Ok I was a little harsh and regret to a degree what I said. I was trying to make a point albeit to strongly

@Emjay

@mirraflake   Forget it,  I was harsh about Prince Harry's choice.  I don't really know that much about her.  To tell the truth, she reminds me of the first girl my son was engaged to. She was a beautiful girl, runner-up to Miss Texas, but she had trouble written all over her.

 I prayed every day that he wouldn't marry her and, Thank God, he didn't.  He married a wonderful woman.

Maybe Harry will get lucky.  I like him a lot.  This may be his way of a tiny rebellion.

The thing is we don't know any of these people personally. We know what tabloid covers say and what internet gossip chatters about. For all we know, she is an absolute angel who just had some bad luck in Hollywood with prior relationships.

I've looked at the pics and read the title bestowed upon the two of them; Duke and Duchess of Sussex.  I also read where he is 6th in line of the royal succession. So, I cannot believe all the attention these two are getting and while I realize that the Brits still have 'royal' tradition, I find a lot of hype surrounding these two really unnecessary.

Prince Harry looked ok in the traditional garb, but Markle...OMG. Who ever designed and 'tailored' her dress did a very poor job, the top of the dress looked way to big and ill fitting....the horse and buggy was kind of cool though.

Oh ... and then I read that her new sister-in-law; Kate was being criticized for wearing yellow pastel and it was too close to white.  Really?  Enough of the snarkiness. The MSM loves drama and you can bet we'll now hear every cat fight between the two of them.

On the positive side; Sir Elton John and Oprah were in attendance...much more interesting in my books.

Truth be told I have never seen a monarch live so long.

Louis XIV of France is the longest reigning monarch. 72 years. HRH QE II has a bit to go to catch up to him.

Remember that Queen Victoria loved her son Edward, but felt deep down he wasn’t ready for his moment. Thankfully, he reigned about a decade. I think the Queen feels the same way about Charles. Loves him , but thinks William will be a better monarch. I know I personally do feel this way. I feel Charles will be - well, they haven’t had good luck with Charles I and II.

Yes.  William is eminently 'suitable.'  He married the perfect bride and they are popping out perfect children (well, she is).  I think he will be a good King with no personal drama.

Ok, then I think she is the longest English Monarch.


I think you are right. The English Monarch's named Charles hasn't had good luck. So I think you are right, his reign might be short.

This is the completed royal wedding cake the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex's guests will be tucking into at their Windsor Castle reception.

Kensington Palace tweeted a snap of the non-traditional - and spectacularly pretty - bake, created by Californian Claire Ptak and made using 200 Amalfi lemons, 500 eggs, and 10 bottles of elderflower cordial made at the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.   

In keeping with the bride and groom's modern approach to their big day, the cake, decorated with three different types of peonies - a favourite flower of Meghan's - is not a traditional tiered creation, but features layers of different sizes displayed on individual gold plinths of varying heights.   

The Palace said in a tweet that the 'light sponge' had been 'uniquely formulated' for the royal couple.

I'm old fashioned..I prefer a white layer cake with either a choc mousse filling or strawberry mousse iced with rich buttercream frosting... My wedding cake had choc mousse on the large layer and strawberry mouse on the smaller layer..the tiny layer on top just had buttercream filling..

They travelled in a silver blue open-top Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero, which was originally manufactured in 1968 and now runs on electricity on her way to the English country house which stands in the home park of Windsor Castle and is part of the Crown Estate. It is only open to individuals on three days of the year.

@CatherineofAragon

I will have a commemorative plate soon.  Son will send me one.  Have those plates for the royal family going back through the generations.  Also have teacups/tea pots from their times.  I was into glass/porcelain all my life - my house looks like a museum from around the world as I went from country to country, collecting glassware and cups/teapots and commemorative plates. Been to Monte Carlo twice and brought back commemorative plate of wedding of  Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.

We collect things all our lives because we like them, like to see them, appreciate them as art.  Early glassware made in this country is beautiful.  When the east coast was settled, people needed glassware so Westmorland was one of the first to come to the east coast and make glassware. They brought with them a cast of Queen Victoria's hands and reproduced them in a cupped position in milk glass. I have one of those - her hands were tiny.

I don't know what she was trying to accomplish, but whoever decorated their cake has much to be desired.  It certainly doesn't look like anything special other than a royal mess.

Agreed; white or a yellow cake with some type of filling is usually the norm at weddings.  My cake was a white layer cake, with a rich buttercream frosting between layers, decorated with red roses and tiny green leaves. Definitely much more elegant looking than the 'royal' cake.

I guess as long as he/she knows their stuff, it won't matter in the long run.

On the topic...I think her dress is lovely...but like Kate's better. :laugh:

Twitter Is Calling Meghan Markle's Wedding Gown "Ill-Fitting" and "Boring"
Harper's Bazaar, May 19, 2018

Meghan Markle's wedding gown is officially dividing social media. Many are calling the gown "gorgeous," "beautiful," and "stunning" – while others are less than impressed. Critics of the gown are taking to Instagram and Twitter, telling followers, royals and Markle fans exactly how Meghan's super-simple wedding gown by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy has them feeling.

Not only were those anxiously expecting the most epic royal wedding dress of the season feeling a bit let down by Meghan's super-simple gown choice, but they also seem to be underwhelmed by her styling choices overall. Additionally, many weren't so into the who-done-it game of Markle's dress designer, especially when it turned out that not a soul in the running had anything to do with the design.

But Twitter didn't stop with the dress–they went for Meghan's beauty look as well. Those on royal watch expected to see Markle as they know and love her–perfectly polished with a touch of edge. Instead, they were furious to find her hair falling out of place at her hair line and in the back at the nape of her neck, nor were they impressed when her veil wasn't falling perfectly at the ceremony.

We already know that Meghan is planning on becoming a British citizen but that's a fairly long process that could take a few years.

Jason Knauf, communication secretary for Prince Harry, confirmed that Meghan would be retaining her US citizenship "through that process".

As long as she's a US citizen, she'll have to pay income tax there and it's unlikely the royal family will be willing to have that drain on their fortune.

'This is even on money earned outside the United States," royal expert Marlene Koenig told The Sun.

"If she receives money from her husband or his family, and that's considered income, she would have to pay income tax on that."

Couples who marry typically share any wealth and assets but Marlene believes Meghan will not be involved with any royal money until she gives up her US citizenship, if that ever happens.


"With that sort of money, if Meghan's name is on that account, most likely she would be dinged – that would have to be reported as income in the United States.

"You can be sure that those at Buckingham Palace and those who run the accounts are looking very carefully at all of this to make sure that the royal family's money does not get reported to the IRS."

LOL..not to mention what he charged...I have now see the dress cost $300k and QE had to approve of the dress before she could wear it..
The Queen had to approve of the marriage as a whole. Why she did, I have no clue.

Harry didn't need to marry this modern-day Wallis Simpson. The Queen didn't need to allow it. (This is not Prince Charles marrying a divorcee after his ex-wife died. That was forgivable. Marrying a Hollywood divorcee as a first choice? I would have thought that to be a disgrace to the Crown.)

If the wedding had to go through, I would have hoped that the Queen would bestow the millstone title of "Duke and Duchess of Windsor" upon the couple. Alas, she couldn't even do that. It appears now that the sanctity of monogamous marriage has now been abandoned even at the height of royalty.

But hey, it's the 21st century. Who cares about such quaint notions?

A friend of mine emailed me last night.  She's taking bets on how long this marriage will last.  Her bet is two months.  LOL

Actually, they nay surprise all of us and stay married for life.  We just don't know. 

One basic difference between Markle and Wallis Simpson is that Wallis was married twice plus there is evidence that she had numerous lovers even during her marriage to Edward.  One of those lovers was Joachim von Ribbentrop, the Nazi foreign minister.  Many believe that Simpson and even Edward were in league with the Nazis.  Simpson was a loose gold-digging, possibly traitorous beyotch.  Markle doesn't quite compare.

I'm ok with divorce to some extent.  I don't think anyone should stay in a marriage that isn't working, particularly if there is one party not willing to put forth the effort.  I don't know why Markle's first marriage didn't work out.  So I'm not willing to judge her.  Instead, I wish the happy couple well.

Meghan had been married twice and was living with another man when she met Harry...who she quickly dumped.

Not saying she is a gold-digger but she will now have a life of luxury..cars, servants, homes, clothes..etc..

Three men who she was *in love* with before her *true love* came along...not buying it...

I am willing to bet that QE would never have approved of this marriage if it was William, heir to the throne. Both QE and her mother detested Wallis for what she did to Edward and the throne of England..I wonder if QE sees any of Wallis in Meghan..

Probably not because William is next in line after his father for the throne, while Harry is so far back, it's highly unlikely he would ever be king. 

Wikipedia lists only one prior marriage for Meghan.  Where did you get your information?

It's not in Wiki but other new sources..RIV posted it at the beginning of this thread..

It's discussed on page 6..don't know where RIV got the info

There were many sources for this months ago ....way before they were even engaged @mystery-ak   I don't know if those reports were wrong or scrubbed, but I can't find one source now either.

Either way, I never believed he was the love of her life.  For Harry this may be true, but not for her.  She convinced Harry a prenup wasn't necessary and he convinced the Queen, so I'm pretty sure she's thinking she's locked herself in for life.  (Can you believe it .... she's in without a prenup.  Think about that.)

I think she's played him--and the media--beautifully.   If Harry was one heartbeat closer to the throne, methinks the Queen would have stopped this.  Kate's third pregnancy may have made it possible for Meghan to become a Duchess.   ^-^

Reports are Harry really wants kids.  She's almost 37 so she's not got a lot of time to play the international feminist royal if she wants to start a family. I'll soften my opinion of her motivations if she gets pregnant during their first year of marriage.

Well I have to agree with you...just something about her that leads me to believe she has duped him and everyone else...call it women's intuition which I firmly believe in.

I don't know why these stories are being published or where they come from.  Maybe someone is jealous of Meghan.  Or, as with all these bimbos coming out of the woodwork to accuse celebrities of improper behavior, maybe they are looking for money or fame.   Of course, the Enquirer doesn't need any source at all to make up stories.  Anyway, I'm going to try to be careful as to what to believe and just wish the newlyweds well.

Prenups are different in the UK. Harry would not really need one if he wasn’t royal but still wealthy. Because he is royal she can’t lay claim to anything. For example, her engagement ring was bought with royal money and used Diana’s diamonds (on the sides). Markle could never keep it because it’s basically on loan to her. Her home, clothes, jewels, cars, staff, etc. are on loan from QE.

From what I've read about British divorce it's basically you get to take back what you brought with you, if that makes any sense. If there would be a divorce, it's up to the queen to decide what Markle gets in terms of homes, staff, etc., since it belongs to the queen to begin with. For example, QE gave living quarters and a few other perks to Diana after the divorce from Charles. She didn't have to give anything to Diana, but the publicity would have been horrendous, to say the least.

*The Firm*...is this her cute name for all the Royals or do they refer to themselves as The Firm..never heard this before.

This is from 2011 @mystery-ak

The Duke of Edinburgh has long referred to the British royal family as “the Firm” ....

From what I've read about British divorce it's basically you get to take back what you brought with you, if that makes any sense. If there would be a divorce, it's up to the queen to decide what Markle gets in terms of homes, staff, etc., since it belongs to the queen to begin with. For example, QE gave living quarters and a few other perks to Diana after the divorce from Charles. She didn't have to give anything to Diana, but the publicity would have been horrendous, to say the least.

Great information.  Thanks! @goodwithagun

Piers Morgan has a great column today regarding  Meghan saying she is a feminist.   A so called feminist who quit her career to be married and become a stay at home mom.

Well...it's an interesting photo.  I'm so fond of William and Kate, but, I haven't warmed up to this marriage. It seems a lot of hype and media coverage surrounded the wedding.  Yes he's a 'royal' by blood but he's 6th in line to the throne ... never going to see the throne unless there is some kind of tragedy that hits his brother William's entire family.

@CatherineofAragon

I will have a commemorative plate soon.  Son will send me one.  Have those plates for the royal family going back through the generations.  Also have teacups/tea pots from their times.  I was into glass/porcelain all my life - my house looks like a museum from around the world as I went from country to country, collecting glassware and cups/teapots and commemorative plates. Been to Monte Carlo twice and brought back commemorative plate of wedding of  Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.

We collect things all our lives because we like them, like to see them, appreciate them as art.  Early glassware made in this country is beautiful.  When the east coast was settled, people needed glassware so Westmorland was one of the first to come to the east coast and make glassware. They brought with them a cast of Queen Victoria's hands and reproduced them in a cupped position in milk glass. I have one of those - her hands were tiny.

@Victoria33, I'd love to see that.  She had a very small stature, didn't she?

If I were in London recently I would have probably bought all kinds of commemorative stuff, lol.

I too want the best for Harry and I hope this isn't all just a rouse on her part.

This is guesswork based on various quotes and reports I've read from time to time, but I think Harry took it the hardest when he lost his beloved Mom.  I think he was carrying a bit of a grievance over the way he thought she was treated by his father and by the Royals in general.

I'm not saying it was a conscious decision to get back at them by marrying this horrible woman but I think there was a tiny bit of retaliation that fueled the union.

Meghan will cause trouble for the Royals for years to come, but, unfortunately, Harry will suffer as well.  Still, he brought it on himself.

Is it symbolic of anything..why a songbird/dove?

The songbird supporter represents communication, and I think the duchess is in for a royal surprise when she discovers how much she’s going to have to keep her feminist mouth shut. The crown around the songbird’s neck, if you will.

Man pleads guilty in plot to attack Prince George's school
The Associated Press Published 2:57 p.m. ET May 31, 2018

LONDON  — An alleged Islamic State group supporter who encouraged attacks on 4-year-old Prince George of Cambridge admitted to a string of terror offenses Thursday, two weeks into his trial in London.

Husnain Rashid, who previously said he'd done nothing wrong, switched his plea to guilty on four counts of preparing terrorist acts and encouraging terrorism due to the "overwhelming weight of evidence," the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement.

Rashid, 32, a former teacher at a mosque in northwestern England, was accused of using the Telegram messaging site to encourage "lone wolf" attacks and to provide advice on the use of bombs, chemicals and knives.

Somewhat of a big story...

Inés Zorreguieta, sister to Dutch Queen Maxima, dead at 33
(https://cdnph.upi.com/svc/sv/upi_com/9051528396182/2018/1/5f2576002b87cc4f0195e8357b67b6ba/Ins-Zorreguieta-sister-to-Dutch-Queen-Maxima-dead-at-33.jpg)
June 7 (UPI) -- Inés Zorreguieta, the younger sister of Dutch Queen Maxima and a psychologist working for the Argentinian government, died Thursday, officials in the Netherlands announced. She was 33.

Zorreguieta was found dead in her apartment in Buenos Aires. A Dutch official told NOS TV it appeared that Zorreguieta killed herself.

"The sudden death of Queen Maxima's sister comes as a big shock. It is intensely sad and heartbreaking news that can hardly be comprehended for those who stay behind," Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said.

Too bad, with that assisted suicide and all that, especially in Holland and Belgium, it makes me wonder. Yes, she probably suffered from depression.  Rest in peace, very sad.

She must be Argentine but a part of the Dutch Royal family, for however that worked out.

Okay, so I’ll preface my post with my admission that I just don’t like Meghan. I can’t explain why, I just don’t trust her. I also happen to love Kate, so there’s that. In a world of Kartrashians, Will and Kate are lovely family role models. Plus, I genuinely believe that they are down to earth. So here goes: Meghan is now in Prada and frequently wears Givenchy. Although Kate has stepped out in foreign designers, it’s usually because she is in that country on official royal business. For example, Kate wore a bespoke Chanel dress and purse during a visit to France. Kate tends to lean toward British designers and also is seen in very affordable Zara and J. Crew. I really haven’t seen Meghan is British designers or lesser expensive clothes; however, that could be because the press is giving the newlyweds some space. Any thoughts?

If you want to see some shows that deal with Royal history (way before the current clan), check out the following:


1. The Tudors
2. The White Queen (dealing with the war of the Roses)
3. The Last Kingdom (During the reign of King Alfred).

She’s trying to make that neckline her “thing.” I like the neckline, it looks fantastic on her, and I even wear it myself. However, it’s the fact that she’s trying. If Kate or Diana ever tried to be a fashion influencer, it never showed. They are natural. Meghan is trying. If that makes any sense at all.

WW1 centenary: William and PM mark Battle of Amiens

The Duke of Cambridge and the prime minister have attended commemorations in northern France to mark the centenary of the Battle of Amiens - the beginning of the end of World War One.

Prince William and Theresa May both paid tribute at a service at Amiens Cathedral.

They also spoke to descendants of soldiers who fought in the battle.

The main reason why the royals didn't use to live as long has to do with the following:


1. A lot of Usurpers of the Throne. Meaning a lot of Monarchs were killed before or killed during their reign.
2. Medicine was s**t. The average lifespan has increased.


I don't see Prince Chuckles reign lasting as long as his mother. I could be wrong though.

Queen Elizabeth II’s Doctor Peter Fisher Killed in London Bicycle Crash
By Dan Clarendon   

Dr. Peter Fisher, a doctor who treated Queen Elizabeth II for a decade and a half, died in a bicycle crash in London on Wednesday, August 15.


The 67-year-old was traveling through the High Holborn area of central London when his bicycle collided with a truck, according to Reuters. He died at the scene, despite CPR administered by bystanders. He was the eighth cyclist killed in London this year.

Meghan must want to drop into a hole right about now.

Interestingly, in the lead up to the wedding, there were those who opined that Megan’s maternal family were a bunch of no good ghetto types, hoodlums with the emphasis on “hood” and would prove an embarrassment to the Royal family, (i.e. being black and all), yet it turns out that it is the father and the father’s side of the family, the white side, who are trash.  I actually feel sorry for Megan. You know that saying - “you can pick your nose but you can’t pick your family”.

Even the Royal Family loves a freebie!

On Thursday, while supporting his wife, Meghan Markle, at her charity cookbook launch, Prince Harry took a second to check out the appetizer table.

Apparently, the 34-year-old royal could not wait until the official photo session was over and decided to grab himself some tasty treats.

News cameras caught the Prince as he returned to the crowd with several treats in hand, hiding them behind his back.

But I have no idea what a "meringue" style dress is.

Quote
A type of dress or top where the waist line is raised above the natural waistline, sometimes as high as right below the bust. Meringue. Characterized by a very full skirt that begins at the waist and continues to a formal length. It has a full bodice and a cinched waistline that falls into a full skirt.

Information here about the tiara....also a view of Eugenie's back with her scoliosis surgery scar, which she wanted the dress to reveal.  (?)

Fergie . . . loved the cut but hate the color. She’s trying to riff of the tiara, I get it, but you don’t attempt to coordinate with a one hundred year old priceless heirloom. Her hat is also God awful.

Kate . . . amazing, but we knew that didn’t we  wink777

I know it ties back to the tiara, but Fergie’s dress did nothing for me other than the cut. Maybe I’m biased because I don’t like her? I’ll own that.

Meghan Markle baby: Why Meghan's Australia tour should be BANNED after pregnancy news
UK Express, Oct 15, 2018

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have announced they are expecting a baby ahead of their first overseas tour to Australia - but this is the reason why the Duchess of Sussex could have been stopped from travelling - and it all comes down to royal protocol.

Kensington Palace revealed the pregnancy on Monday morning as Meghan, 37, and Harry, 34, touched down in Sydney.

The royal couple are on a 16-day trip of Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, starting officially on Tuesday.

[...]

Meghan and Harry’s long-awaited first royal tour has been in the planning for several weeks.

But the Queen and other senior Royals were only told the news at Eugenie’s wedding on Friday.

Pippa, who was wearing a long blue coat, white shoes and sunglasses, was seen smiling as she entered the Lindo Wing on Monday, a little more than 48 hours after she attended Princess Eugenie's royal wedding in Windsor last Friday.

A spokeswoman for Pippa Middleton and her husband said: 'James and Pippa have had a baby boy.

'He was born Monday 15th October at 1.58pm, weighing 8lb and 9oz. Everyone is delighted and mother and baby are doing well.'

Meanwhile, a spokesman for Kensington Palace said this afternoon that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge 'are thrilled for Pippa and James.'

‘She’s only pregnant – not ill!’: Fury as trolls slam pregnant Meghan for needing a well-deserved rest during her gruelling royal tour
Daily Mail/UK, Oct 21, 2018

Meghan Markle has divided opinion after the mother-to-be made the decision to cut back her busy royal tour schedule following an exhausting few days in Australia.

The Duchess, who is three or four months pregnant, unexpectedly missed an appearance with husband Harry to watch a road cycling race today. 

She will also not take part in tomorrow's scheduled events on Fraser Island, the palace has said.

Royal watchers were split following the announcement, with some suggesting she was looking for 'sympathy' while others defended the 37-year-old former actor.

Some angry Twitter users hit out and said 'pregnancy isn't an illness' and she shouldn't take time off because of it.

'Millions of women around the world work through pregnancy with illness because they don't have a choice. It's not news,' one wrote.

Another added: 'she's only pregnant not ill' 

While a third wrote: 'I doubt shaking a few hands and lording around Oz is gonna have a detrimental on the pregnancy. Try working in a real public sector business 6 weeks before you give birth. Give us a break from this s*** please.'

But there were many more quick to leap to the Duchess's defence, with one praising her sensible.

Why People Are Saying Meghan's Dress With a Thigh-High Split Defies Royal Protocol

A few less-than-chill people on Twitter were quick to point out her exposed arms and shoulders, the thin, beach-ready material, and of course, the amount of leg on the show. Yep, I'm eye-rolling too, but has Meghan technically defied royal protocol with her clothes this time around?

I don't know if it has ever been done. My guess is when the Queen does die, Charles won't be on the throne as long as her.

End of an era: Queen Elizabeth's last corgi, Whisper, has died.

Corgis have been in the queen's life since 1933, when her father, King George VI, brought home a dog and indecorously named it Dookie.

On her 18th birthday, Elizabeth got a corgi named Susan as a gift. Until this year, the Queen traveled the world with a dog squad comprised of Susan and her descendants.

On her 18th birthday, Elizabeth got a corgi named Susan as a gift. Until this year, the Queen traveled the world with a dog squad comprised of Susan and her descendants.

The Queen has decided not to adopt any more corgis for fear that she might trip over them. She does, however, still have a couple of "dorgis"—a cross between dachshunds and corgis.

Prince Harry and Prince William's Brotherly "Double Act" Is Coming to a Close
MSN, Oct 28, 2018, In Style

Before Meghan's pregnancy, the two brothers and their significant others were considered by many the royal version of the Fab Four. But according to The Sunday Times' royal correspondent, Roya Nikkhah, fans should prepare themselves for some major changes. "The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex are preparing to go their separate ways," says Nikkhah.

"William and Harry considering plans to split the Kensington Palace household and create two separate courts as their future roles with Kate and Meghan diverge," she adds.

In due time, William will become king and Harry will have a different set of responsibilities. "There is a gulf in the style and approach to the type of work that William and Kate will increasingly do as future head of state and consort, and Harry and Meghan, who have more of a blank canvas with their roles," says a source at The Sunday Times.

The insider continued: "When William becomes the Prince of Wales, he will take on a lot of extra responsibility, including the Duchy of Cornwall and all that entails. Harry and Meghan have none of that, and seem ambitious about forging their own paths."

Meghan's 'Diana moment': Duchess appears to flash her legs through her bespoke Givenchy skirt during walkabout in New Zealand - but all is not what it seems
Daily Mail/UK, Oct 31, 2018

Meghan, 37, seemed to show off more than she bargained for in photographs taken during a walkabout in Rotorua today on the final day of the royal tour.

However, it was in fact simply an optical illusion created by the skirt's heavy woven fabric 'strobing on camera'.

Meanwhile, the stripe design of the skirt also created the illusion of Meghan's underwear - at the point where the lighter stripes become darker again.

Meghan Markle suffers another wardrobe malfunction, wears see-through skirt in New Zealand
Fox News, Oct 31, 2018, Morgan M. Evans

Another day, another wardrobe malfunction.

While on the final leg of their royal tour, Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, took a minute to greet fans while on a walkabout in Rotorua, New Zealand, on Wednesday.

The pregnant 37-year-old paired a royal blue Givenchy short-sleeve sweater with a knit skirt and suede, navy heels for one of her final tour ensembles. But the pleated skirt revealed a little bit more than was probably intended.

In photos captured of the Duchess greeting fans, it is easy to see through the pleated design to reveal what the royal was wearing underneath.

(https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2018/10/640/320/Meghan-skirt-2.jpg?ve=1&tl=1)

It is possible that Meghan's "malfunction" was merely the Duchess getting in on the sheer dress trend that is a current staple in Hollywood — but a see-through skirt is not something Queen Elizabeth would likely approve.

Just last week Meghan suffered another fashion snafu when she was snapped with a price tag still on her dress while getting off an airplane with her husband in the Kingdom of Tonga. The price tag was clearly left on the dress and, thanks to a strong gust of wind while Meghan and Harry deplaned, the world was able to see the royal's accidental fashion faux pas.

Here's Why Meghan Markle Didn't Stand With Kate Middleton During a Ceremony
MSN, Nov 12, 2018, Cosmopolitan

Yesterday, the entire royal fam attended a Remembrance Ceremony to honor those who lost their lives in WWI. Meghan Markle went, and to a mere mortal, it looked like she got totally shaded by where she had to stand.

Here's where Kate Middleton watched the ceremony, with Queen Elizabeth and Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall.

(http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBPBN1n.img?h=421&w=799&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=595&y=280)

While Meghan was allllllll the way off on another balcony with Elke Büdenbender, the wife of the president of Germany.

This isn't a slight. It's just about the royal order. Because Harry is the younger brother and won't be the king, sometimes Meghan gets the short end of the stick. TBH, she still had a pretty good view for both of these events.

Black people and people of Middle Eastern culture look good young but age terribly.  Latina women age well as long as they don't gain weight.

Oh here we go. Misogyny, misogyny, misogyny.


Men are bashed unmericifully every day on the internet 1000 times worse than women.. Every commercial has the husband being  a ignorant dolt  having to be saved by his all knowing wife. Women walk around on campuses with men suck t shirts.

What I said was not racist. I also believe women from  Eastern Russian states age badly also.

Asian women age well, is that a racist comment??

Dude! The avatar is because @DCPatriot got pissy at us noobs the other night. I actually got an NCAA scholarship for riflery, and no I didn’t twirl plastic guns I used really expensive guns (Anschutz) to punch paper. I do enjoy great shoes. I have bad feet and they’re going to feel like shit anyway so why not look like a million bucks? As far as the thigh gap, I work out religiously but that evades me.

Marie Antoinette Pearl Pendant Sells for Record $32 Million
By The Associated Press
November 14, 2018 Updated: November 14, 2018

GENEVA—A large, drop-shaped natural pearl pendant sold for a hammer price of $32 million at an auction of jewelry that once belonged to French Queen Marie Antoinette, which Sotheby’s is calling a record price for a pearl at auction.

The “Queen Marie Antoinette’s Pearl,” a diamond-and-pearl pendant, was among the highlight offerings on the block at the Sotheby’s sale of jewelry from the Bourbon-Parma dynasty.

Like many of the 10 former Marie Antoinette pieces up for sale on Nov. 14, the pendant obliterated the pre-auction—in its case, $1 million to $2 million.

Meghan Markle is a ruthless social climbing actress who has landed the role of her life and is determined to milk it for all she can - and that’s why the Palace is beginning to turn on her

By Piers Morgan for MailOnline

Published: 14:42 EST, 4 December 2018 | Updated: 17:26 EST, 4 December 2018


 I was ghosted by Meghan Markle.

If you’re not familiar with the term ‘ghosting’, it’s when someone you thought was a friend suddenly cuts off all communication with you, with zero warning, and then you never hear another word from that person again.

I remember it very clearly because it’s never happened to me before.

So I found it very weird.

The saga began one afternoon in the fall of 2015 when I decided to follow on Twitter four stars of the US legal drama Suits - including Ms Markle.

It seems to already have -- Meghan and Harry are moving away from Kate and William.  Supposedly they are moving because they want to be were they were married ... not buying it.  Meghan is out for Meghan and only cares about Meghan.  She's having Harry's baby and she is now set for the rest of her life.

Harry has created quite a media frenzy; a royal marrying a person from a mixed race. For Markle, this has been seen as quite an accomplishment.  Obviously Harry married her for love and didn't care about the impact on the royal family.  Then on the other hand there are those who idolize this couple because they are so politically correct!

Meghan Markle's baby bump cradling sparks Twitter backlash
Fox News Entertainment, Dec 12, 2018

Meghan Markle sparked a global debate about baby bump cradling after her surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards this week.

The Duchess of Sussex, 37, posed in a way at the style-centered event that some interpreted as hammy and others as maternal, as she presented an award to her wedding dress designer, Givenchy artistic director Clare Waight Keller.

"Cupping the bump? WHOB DOES THIS? #MeghanMarkle who the hell does she think she is Madonna and child? Something VERY creepy going on in this woman's head," one user wrote.

"#MeghanMarkle holding on to that bump like someone’s about to snatch it," another quipped.

I was thinking the same thing.  My niece just reached 20 weeks so she is about four weeks behind Megan.  My niece is nowhere near that big, and the baby is "the size of a banana" now.

It was NOT this car but still, can you imagine, flipping a Range Rover at 97 years old and basically, coming out of it okay? I guess, the seat belts and solid nature of the vehicle saved him and probably would save a lot of us.

Have you seen my BUMP? Video shows how proud mother-to-be Meghan can't resist displaying her blossoming tummy - and uses clever styling tricks to show it off

    Duchess of Sussex, 37, is six months pregnant with her first child with Harry, 34
    Proud mother-to-be uses her wardrobe and styling to accentuate her baby bump
    Contrasting colour coats and non-maternity wear draw the eye to her figure
    Meghan also 'flicks' her coats away from her bump to ensure it stays in view

Lots of mothers-to-be are excited to show off their blooming baby bumps, and the Duchess of Sussex is no exception. 

Video shows how Meghan, 37, who is six month pregnant, uses a a combination of clever wardrobe choices and 'deliberate baby-bump-featuring behavior' to ensure all eyes remain on her blossoming tummy at royal engagements.

Stylist Lucas Armitage noted the royal has largely eschewed maternity brands in favour of pieces from designer labels that fit snugly around her bump and plumps for contrasting coat and dress combinations that highlight her blossoming tummy.

'She is enjoying being pregnant and knows that that is what people want to see when she is at public engagements,' Lucas explained.

Meanwhile body language expert and author Judi James pointed out Meghan frequently 'flicks' her coat away from her bump to ensure it is fully visible - just one example of the behaviour she consciously adopts to draw attention to herself.

France buries Henri of Orleans, the man who would be king

Dreux (France) (AFP) - Prince Albert of Monaco and Spain's former queen on Saturday led a host of royals and aristocrats at the funeral of Prince Henri of Orleans, a pretender to the French throne which was done away with in the 19th century.

The duke of Paris died aged 85 on January 21 -- by coincidence, the anniversary of the execution of King Louis XVI during the French Revolution in 1793.

"This is a page in the history of France that is being turned," Stephane Bern, an expert on European monarchies, told AFP at the funeral at the Chapel of Saint Louis in northern Dreux, the traditional burial place of members of the House of Orleans.

So, even if there are remnants of the former Royal family in France, it looks like if they wanted to, they could start it up again.(?) I wasn't aware of this.

Meghan Markle's closest pals break silence on fears 'emotional trauma' is affecting baby
A group of Meghan Markle's inner circle, some who claim to still speak to the Duchess of Sussex daily, have decided to speak out for the first time in two years to defend their friend
ByZoe ForseyActing Audience Editor

Five of Meghan Markle 's closest friends have spoken out for the first time after keeping silent for more than two years.

The anonymous pals have come forward to "stand up against the global bullying we are seeing and speak the truth about our friend".

Earlier this month it was revealed that Meghan and the Duchess of Cambridge's staff are spending hours each week  dealing with vile messages sent by trolls on social media, including "violent threats" and sexist and racist comments .

Prince Harry paid tribute to the victims of the Tunisia attacks as he attended a memorial on Monday. The royal made a solo appearance in Birmingham as he attended a dedication ceremony of the official memorial. The memorial contains a sculpture called "Infinite Wave," which symbolizes the British nationals killed in the Bardo Museum attack in March 2015 and the Sousse attack in June 2015. During his visit, Harry spent some time with some of the families affected by the attacks as he chatted with them and took a few photos.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Keeping the Birth of Their Royal Baby Private

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s first child is due in just weeks — but the public will have to wait a little longer than that to catch a glimpse of the royal baby.

The prince and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced via Buckingham Palace Thursday that they will keep their birth plan private, and will publicly reveal details of the birth only after they’ve celebrated together.

Meghan Markle 'felt sorry' for sister-in-law Kate after she posed for photos in high heels and dress just hours after giving birth, claims friend
Daily Mail/UK, Apr 27, 2019

The Duchess of Sussex is said to have 'felt sorry' for sister-in-law Kate Middleton after she posed for photos looking fresh-faced outside the Lindo Wing.

Meghan Markle is expected to give birth to her first child in the coming days and will snub the traditional photo call outside the royal's favourite maternity ward.

Friends have said this may be because the 37-year-old does not want the fuss of having to put on a show and dress up just hours after giving birth.

Speaking to The Post the source said the perfectly polished look had put Meghan off the much sought after photo shoot following the birth, especially after Kate Middleton had emerged looking immaculate following the birth of Prince Louis.

(https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/04/27/21/12799348-6967489-image-a-42_1556398360541.jpg)  (https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/04/27/21/12799356-6967489-image-m-48_1556398430189.jpg)  (https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/04/27/21/12799372-6967489-image-a-49_1556398443118.jpg)

Meghan and Harry have previously released a statement informing members of the public that they would be doing things their way, when it comes to raising their first child.

It read: 'Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private.

'The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family.'

About a week ago, Twitter went crazy over news that was supposedly leaked to the British press that William had an affair with one of Kate’s friends.  I don’t know what to make of the story.  At first I thought it was tabloid gossip.  Then the story was confirmed in detail by a few people who know/write about the royals.  One of them said the affair has been common knowledge for a while among the upper class in England.  And it seems to be an agreed-upon point that the woman in the affair was the one who leaked.

Last night I found a long article which goes deep into the allegations.  A couple of the things claimed seem kind of odd, and they’re pointed out in the comments.  There are also comments from people who work for British publications that have been gagged by the Palace.  They say the affair has been known for a while.

Should I post the link to the article?  Yeah, it’s gossip but it’s interesting.  The royals are in the end real people and no one ever knows what goes on in a marriage.  Considering that William grew up with both parents screwing around on each other, I guess it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he learned it from them.

I read that also.  A tweet linked to an article in a US publication (US weekly?).  It also mentioned that the UK press was gagged, but someone must have leaked to a US publication.  I wondered if Meghan told a friend (who told a friend etc) who told the publication.

Queen gave 'Meghan a dressing down' for scolding Windsor Castle staff over egg-free macrobiotic dishes for the royal wedding, author claims

Hayley Richardson
May 3, 2019


Meghan Markle received stern words from the Queen following a row over egg, a royal author has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex, 37, travelled to Windsor Castle ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry, 34, last May to test some of the food that was going to be served at the reception.

Author Katie Nicholl told how the former actress had insisted on there being a 'macrobiotic alternative' for some of the Hollywood star guests who follow the diet which derives from Zen Buddhism.

I don't come to your Royal Happenings thread, but this time I am.  Megan is black.  I took "Heredity" at my university.  The black gene is prominent including their hair. I am wondering what this baby will look like.  Although appearance shouldn't matter, the reality is, it will.

Now, I am going to make all of you envious.  When son, Wayne, and to be wife, Amy, who is Welch, came here for Christmas they gave me a gift.  On Christmas day, here is what was in the large package. (Get ready to want it):

A large white tray with handle at each end; in the middle was the official picture of Prince Harry and Meghan. The official picture on anything has this above their picture: "To Commemorate the Royal Wedding of (then across the bottom: "H.R.H. Prince Harry & Meghan Markle".  Under that is "19th May 2018".

There was also the official porcelain plate with their official picture on it inscribed as above.  There were four coasters, each with the official picture and inscription. 

I can tell you right now, when the baby commemorative cup comes out, they will get one for me.

My townhouse is a museum of countries around the world.  The greatest amount of history I have is the English since I have been there so many times.  I have the official plates/cups/tea sets, and from English Queens going back to Queen Victoria, who was the best Queen of all.  Besides cups/plate/tea set from her reign back to the 1800s (see below for her reign), I have her original signature on a document, a large copy of a painting of her family, also one of her, and have a book she wrote.  She was Queen when England was growing at a fast rate, and she kept control of building and the style the builders used, she was a working queen and a good mother instead of just a figure.

I don't have anything pertaining to the  present Queen, because I don't like her.  I followed, through Wayne, and when I was there numerous times, the stuff she did against Diana. 

Reign of Queen Victoria:
Queen Victoria ascended to the throne on June 20, 1837, and stayed there until her death on January 22, 1901. Officially, Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years, seven months, and two days. By September 23, 1896, she had surpassed King George III as the longest reigning monarch in the history of England and Scotland.

Queen Victoria and her first cousin Prince Albert, who married on February 10, 1840, had nine children. The marriage of the children of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert into other royal families, and the likelihood that some of her children bore a mutant gene for hemophilia affected European history.

I liked it when he said something like this: "I don't know how women do this."  He was in awe of what a woman's body, including his Meghan's body, had to go through to produce a live, breathing, child.  It is a miracle when a baby takes his/her first breath - without injury or illness, that breath keeps going for up to one hundred years or more.  This did not happen by accident - God created it all.

LOL... there are first world problems, there are 'privilege problems' and then there is this level that is out of the stratosphere of those.

Quote
The senior source added: “The Queen likes Meghan personally but this is about the hierarchy. She is showing that maintaining the correct order and precedence within the family is important. Even if Meghan is the most popular woman in the world, she is of a lower rank than Kate.”
The Duchess was stopped from wearing an emerald tiara at her nuptials last May, leading hubby Harry to explode: “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.”
She eventually wore a diamond and platinum headpiece chosen by the Queen. Sources at the time said Meghan “can be difficult” and has “high standards” because she is “used to working in a Hollywood environment.”

@ABX

The Royal Family is a PR company that is the "official face and tourist attraction" of England. If she thinks she is going to come in on an operation that has been going on for more than a century and take over because she has tits and gall,she is going to be sadly surprised. They have standards to maintain in order to maintain their influence,and they WILL enforce them if it means giving her and Harry the boot.

Right now she is the perfect match for the family that has business interests and historical ties in many countries with black populations. If she plays her cards right,she will have it all. If she gets too pushy,she will find herself on the sidelines wondering what happened.

And let's face it,she was,at BEST,a second string star on tv programs. Most people had no idea who she was before her marriage because they had never seen or heard of her before. Yeah,she is pretty and talented,but the entertainment business is LOADED with women who are pretty and talented,and most of them are not in their mid-30's and fading.

She needs to count her lucky stars and get with the program while she is still allowed to read the scripts.

Revealed: Overdue Meghan's home birth dream was dashed as she was secretly whisked to a London hospital on Sunday by Harry and his Scotland Yard security team before their 'to die for' baby boy was born at 5.26am
Daily Mail/UK, May 6, 2019

Meghan's hopes of a home birth were dashed when she was taken to hospital on Sunday by Harry and their Scotland Yard security team.

The Mail understands that the Duchess of Sussex – who was a week overdue – was whisked off amid such secrecy that even senior royals weren't told.

It is understood she was taken to a London hospital – most likely the Portland – where even a 'basic' delivery costs upwards of £15,000. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were delivered there.

It is not known whether Meghan, 37, was induced but sources say she remained there overnight before her baby was born at 5.26am on Monday morning, with an elated Prince Harry at her side.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment but sources confirmed to the Mail that a hospital delivery had taken place.

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51rEzxJvjjL._SX336_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg)

Victoria figured prominently in the early part of the book.  Think about it, she took the throne in 1837---36 years after the death of George Washington.  Her grandfather was George III, king of England during the Revolution.  She was an amazing woman, and so was Queen Mary.

The next to last book I read was:

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Goc8WwilL.jpg)

My heritage is mostly British, I'm an Anglophile, and I love reading about English history, including the monarchy, going all the way back to Egbert of Wessex.  If I ever visit you, you should hide your official merchandise, and hide it well.

I do love Queen Elizabeth, and--though I'm in the minority--I'm not much of a Diana fan.  Don't kill me.

I know you know that the murdered Russian czar, Nicholas, was related to the English royal family, and that he had a son with hemophilia.

I was thinking of you and Freya when I wrote that - I knew you particularly would be super duper envious.  You know I love you - 44444heart I would so like for you to see/handle all the numerous English Queens' porcelain pieces/tea sets, plates made on their anniversary dates of being a queen back to the 1800s and the original documents, books I have.   

A glass company, Westmoreland, came to this country in the early years, to make glassware for the people here and they brought with them a mold of Queen Victoria's hands.  They used white porcelain and made the hands of Queen Victoria in a cupped position.  Her hands were very small.  There is a reverence when looking at Queen Victoria's hands. These dishes were used in a household near the front door for people to put their cards in when they came to visit.  I have one of these dishes, I would love for you to see it and handle it.

Is that Queen Mary the one who was a kleptomaniac and has the awesome dolls house at Windsor Castle?

She was also engaged to be married to Queen Victoria’s grandson who is one of the candidates to possibly be Jack The Ripper. He died and she married the other grandson.

She also has a ship docked in Southern California docked and turned into a hotel and restaurant named after her.

Yes, that’s her!  Elizabeth’s grandmother.  Her dollhouse is incredible.  The little cars have tiny gasoline engines that work, and the tiny bottles in the wine cellar contained real wine. 

That first grandson, the one who died, was weird.  RIP, but once Mary got to know him, she was apprehensive about the marriage.  She and George V were a much better match.

According to this book, the kleptomaniac thing was a misconception or possibly started by resentful shopkeepers who hid valuable items if they knew she was coming.  She was very much into cataloguing and organizing the treasures in the royal storehouses, to the point that many furnishings at Windsor castle and Buckingham Palace have labels on the back, in her handwriting, with information about each piece.  If she saw an item in an antique shop which she believed was originally part of the royal collection, she would ask that it be returned, lol.

I’ve read several Alison Weir books, but it’s been a while and I’ll bet she’s written more since then.  I should check.  Who’s Lady Frazier?  You recommend?

Baby alert


Some time this morning, the parents will present the baby to the public and announce the name they chose for him. According to Sky News.

Anyone have any names in mind? I don’t have a clue except it won’t be Richard.

@Freya

I didn’t have a preference, but a lot of people on Twitter are saying “any name except Philip” because of his past un-PC remarks.  So I’m hoping it will be Philip.

He’s adorable but most babies are.

No name yet.

@QueenCatofAragon @Victoria33
@Right_in_Virginia

Yep, he’s adorable, all right.  Mom and Dad look very happy.

Now watch, even though it wouldn’t be traditional for him to be a prince, people will be calling for the queen to make him one, anyway.  And for one reason.

I don’t think he can be made a prince, I know that Andrew’s and Edward’s children have the title Lord and Lady. I think Anne’s children have the same titles even though Anne removed them from any claims to succession

@ABX

The Royal Family is a PR company that is the "official face and tourist attraction" of England. If she thinks she is going to come in on an operation that has been going on for more than a century and take over because she has tits and gall,she is going to be sadly surprised. They have standards to maintain in order to maintain their influence,and they WILL enforce them if it means giving her and Harry the boot.

Right now she is the perfect match for the family that has business interests and historical ties in many countries with black populations. If she plays her cards right,she will have it all. If she gets too pushy,she will find herself on the sidelines wondering what happened.

And let's face it,she was,at BEST,a second string star on tv programs. Most people had no idea who she was before her marriage because they had never seen or heard of her before. Yeah,she is pretty and talented,but the entertainment business is LOADED with women who are pretty and talented,and most of them are not in their mid-30's and fading.

She needs to count her lucky stars and get with the program while she is still allowed to read the scripts.

Pretty and talented?  I don't think she is all that pretty and her talents are likely those displayed to Harry.  She landed herself a prince and she is black which has sent some shockwaves through the royal family.  She shouldn't expect additional privileges because of color and that is exactly what she is trying to do.  That was evident at her 'royal' wedding.

Nope don't like the broad.

I don't come to your Royal Happenings thread, but this time I am.  Megan is black.   

@Victoria33

Not really. Her father is white,and her mother has white blood,also.  She is probably 1/4 black and 3/4 white.

Not that it makes any difference to the Royal Family. If anything,it makes them happy because a lot of their subjects are black,and the new baby being partially black will help their subjects identify with them. It's good for business as well as public relations.

Naming it Mountbatten-Windsor is a tribute to great grandfather. That’s nice. I am on the fence with Archie but I like Harrison. I know the name will grow on me and I’ll really like it in a few hours..

We have never had a Prince or King Archie. So that’s really neat

    Meghan is believed to have taken inspiration for her son's name from her pet cat
    The moniker appears to be a reference to her beloved cat named Archie

I honestly don't believe it ever was anything more than a image booster. She is a professional actress,and she lusts after public recognition,big lights,big excitement,wearing expensive dresses and jewelry,and mentions on tv and in gossip sheets.

None of which are available in Africa.

And given her skill as an actress and the attention she now has worldwide from marrying into British Royalty,you just KNOW some Hollywood big-shot direction is going to be offering her a starring role in a new movie.

She may be in a position now where she doesn't give a damn about the money,but there is no way in hell she is going to give up the attention something like that would bring.

DOUBLE DUCH

Kate Middleton was ‘tense’ during carriage ride with ‘relaxed’ Meghan Markle

ACCORDING to a body language expert, Kate’s posture showed a lack of 'relaxation', next to beaming Meghan who did her first appearance since giving birth to Archie. Although the royals were all smiles, Judi James says that the group appearance seemed less than natural, in the wake of rumours of a rift between the Fab Four.

Kate Middleton may not technically have a princess title, but her sartorial choices are straight out of a Disney movie.

The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out on Wednesday in a summer-ready white off-the-shoulder dress and a pair of very Cinderella-esque sparkly silver Jimmy Choo pumps ($725, saksfifthavenue.com) with a matching silver clutch, leaving her hair in voluminous waves.

Prince Harry is caught telling Meghan to 'turn around' at Trooping the Colour: Duke directed his wife to face the front for the national anthem on palace balcony, lip reader reveals
Daily Mail/UK, Jun 14, 2019

Prince Harry told the Duchess of Sussex to 'turn around' during Trooping the Colour, a lip reading expert has revealed.

The Duke of Sussex, 34, was filmed speaking to Meghan, 37, while she was stood in front of him on the balcony of Buckingham Palace last Saturday.

At one point the Duchess turned back to speak to her husband twice in quick succession, prompting Prince Harry to utter two brief phrases in response. The exchange sparked widespread speculation on social media over what was said.

Analysing the footage, MailOnline's lip reading expert concluded Prince Harry said to Meghan, 'yes, that's right' when she looked at him the first time, before adding: 'Turn around... Look,' when she turned back to him a short time later.

The exchange came moments before the start of the national anthem. The Royal Family traditionally face forwards out to the crowds while the anthem is played.

Apparently Markle's engagement rings wasn't fancy enough!  She'd already had it remade.  Nothing like loving the ring because that's what your husband picked out for you!  Obviously, no sentimental value.  I see her as a very greedy person (I'm being polite here).

Meghan Markle Remodels the Engagement Ring Given to Her by Prince Harry for a Way Fancier Look

“What Meghan wants, Meghan gets,” Prince Harry is said to have dramatically declared in the run-up to the royal wedding.

In this case, it seems, what Meghan wanted was a fancier engagement ring, and now that’s exactly what she has got......

Kate Middleton Wears a Green Sandro Dress & Espadrilles for a Picnic


    Kate Middleton has re-created her successful "Back to Nature Garden" from the Chelsea Flower Show at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.
    She hosted children from her patronages at the new garden, which is twice the size of the original.

Kate Middleton is hosting a picnic at a recreation of the "Back to Nature Garden" she co-designed, which first debuted at the Chelsea Flower Show in May. This iteration of the outdoor display is now at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival and is twice the size of the original. It also includes a hill for playing, pond for paddling, and a bee-friendly meadow.

The Duchess of Cambridge arrived at today's event at the garden wearing a green printed Sandro dress with a V neckline and a defined waist detailed with pleats and buttons. For footwear, she went for summer-appropriate espadrilles, which appear to be her go-to shoe of the season...............

Livid Queen Elizabeth is fed up with the rude rule-breaking antics of Prince Harry’s rebel wife, Meghan — and is disowning her redheaded grandson and his Hollywood harpy, The National ENQUIRER has learned.

In a shockingly public confirmation of the royal family’s split, Her Majesty announced she will NOT attend the christening of their first child, Archie!

Pure HorseHillary. Not one chance in hell of her disowning the family emissary to the 3rd World. Harry and his half (1/4?) black wife are the PERFECT emissaries to represent the family business interests in the 3rd World,and make no mistake about it,the British Royal Family is nothing more than a closely-held corporation with the British government and military on-call to help them if anybody gives them any trouble. The British people get the family as a tourist attraction,and the family gets the protection of the British government in exchange.

I've always wondered if when you consider the costs to bankroll the royals, plus upkeep their lavish lifestyles, and residences, what the net cost plus or minus is to the average Brit.  My gut guess is that it is probably pretty close to break even.

@catfish1957

Given that the left in Parliament is not shrieking about them like cats in heat,I am guessing the result is a net gain.

Don't forget,they own a BUNCH of businesses in other nations,and  bring in a lot of tax dollars in addition to the tourism dollars.

Still,their ancestor that made the deal to give up rule in exchange for being the highest paid welfare family in the world made a shrewd,shrewd deal! Not only did he save their lives,he saved their fortunes.   Scheming just doesn't get any shrewder than that.

I suspect that within the next year or two someone in Hollywood is going to offer her the role of a lifetime in a blockbuster movie,and the Queen's head is going to explode when she takes it.

Aw, but she has been able to dominate the headlines as she is now married to a Royal.  She is also bi-racial which created even more news; her wedding was an indicator of just that. When Aretha Franklin died the British guard played 'Respect' as a tribute.  Though I thought it was an awesome tribute, I don't think they would have done that had it not been for Markle's ethnicity.  In her mind, she's plenty important.

Meghan Markle ‘Miserable’; Reportedly Gave Prince Harry Ultimatum To Leave Royal Family
By Catherine Armecin

Meghan Markle is reportedly miserable and she gave Prince Harry an ultimatum to choose between her and his family.

The Duchess of Sussex allegedly convinced her husband to leave the royal family.

“Meghan is so miserable that she can’t face being stuck in the UK for much longer,” a source told Life & Style magazine.

“She wants to move to Southern Africa. And she effectively gave him an ultimatum: If they don’t relocate, she wants out. It’s her or his family at this point, and Harry’s chosen his wife.”

@TomSea

That's BullBush. They are moving to Africa anyhow,to be the Crowns political and business representative there. Plan has been in the works for a while,maybe even since the Royal Family discovered he was going to marry a half-black woman. The Royal Family is a separate unit from the British government and owns a BUNCH of businesses in Africa,Asia,and for all I know,America. A Prince with a black wife is a dream come true for them in this day of black African resentments towards whites.

I am NOT saying they encouraged him to marry a black woman to stiffen up the family businesses,but I'm not saying they didn't,either. They are pretty damn shrewd when it comes to business.

The only question in MY mind is "Yeah,she's going to love posing as "the Queen of Africa" for a while,but this is a woman who loves the bright lights and parties of the western world,so I don't imagine that her love for posing as a Queen of Africa is going to last  once she gets bored with African Royalty kissing her ass.

Truth to tell,I am going to be shocked if she is still married to him and not living in the US 5 years from now. She is a professional actress/attention whore with some fame as an actress,and just wait until she gets bored and some producer offers her a starring role in a movie or series being filmed in Hollywood or NYC,and she's going to be out the door like a shot and headed for fame and fortune in Hollywood.

Buckingham Palace denies rumor that Meghan Markle, Prince Harry told neighbors not to speak to them
by Hunter Lovell
 | July 27, 2019 05:12 PM



Buckingham Palace denied a rumor that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle told their neighbors not to talk to them or approach them for favors.

"The Duke and Duchess didn't request this, didn't know about it, and had nothing to do with the content or guidance offered," Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

The Sun reported that “an overly protective palace official” distributed the royal commandment at a resident meeting without the knowledge of the duke and duchess.

Greetings such as "good morning" were reportedly banned, and residents were prohibited from offering to babysit their newborn child, Archie.

"It’s extraordinary. We’ve never heard anything like it. Everyone who lives on the estate works for the royals and knows how to behave respectfully," one resident said. "We aren’t told how to behave around the Queen like this. She’s very happy for people to greet her."

Around 400 people live on the Windsor estate in the Home Park and Great Park neighborhoods.

@catfish1957

The Queen and her advisors have their stuff together,but once that wuss Charles takes over,I suspect that will be the end of the Monarch in England. At least one of his sons will never pass a paternity test due to him marrying a bubble-brained ho,and who really knows about the other one? He's a borderline idiot,and Camille doesn't really seem all that fired up about all the public duties she will be saddled with.

It ain't like either one needs the money.

Prince Harry reveals he and Meghan Markle will only have TWO children to help save the planet (unlike William and Kate with three) - and says how 'unconscious bias' is causing racism in Britain in wife's Vogue

When Dr Goodall said there would be conflicts 'over the last fertile land, the last fresh water', Harry issued a dire warning about the consequences of mankind's actions.

He said: 'What we need to remind everybody is: these are things that are happening now. We are already living in it. We are the frog in the water and it's already been brought to the boil. Which is terrifying.'

'But I've always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children…'

But when Dr Goodall cut in, saying: 'Not too many...' He replied: 'Two, maximum!', before the pair went on to talk about the other dangers facing the planet.

Commenting on 'unconscious bias', Meghan Markle's husband told Dr Goodall: 'Despite the fact that if you go up to someone and say 'what you've just said, or the way you've behaved, is racist' - they'll turn around and say, 'I'm not a racist'.

'I'm not saying you're a racist, I'm just saying that your unconscious bias is proving that because of the way that you've been brought up, the environment you've been brought up in, suggests that you have this point of view - unconscious point of view - where naturally you will look at someone in a different way.'

Royals rally round Prince Andrew as he is joined at church by The Queen, Charles and Beatrice a day after his past came back to haunt him with suicide of billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein
Daily Mail/UK, Aug 11, 2019

The Queen sat next to her son on their way to church on the grounds of Balmoral this morning, as Prince Andrew faces renewed scrutiny over his friendship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein who was found dead in his jail cell yesterday.

The Prince shared a car with his mother and daughter, Princess Beatrice, to Kirk on the Scottish estate this morning, while Charles and Camilla drove themselves.

Epstein was accused of arranging to have sex with dozens of underage girls at his residences in New York and Florida, but had denied two counts of sex trafficking.

His body was discovered at 6.30am US time yesterday at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan, hours after a court in New York released 2,000 pages of previously sealed legal documents.

One document repeated the allegation, which the Prince has always denied, that Andrew had sex with a 17 year old girl.

Yes,we will. He is basically a victim of this. He hooked up with this girl at a party,almost certainly realized she was a pro,and I defy you or anyone else to tell a 17 year old pro in professional makeup from one 25 years old.

Somebody gave him some eye candy he naturally assumed was of legal age,and he took it. This stuff has most likely been happening to him his entire life.

Even if she does look young,there is a natural presumption that any female at one of those parties is an adult,or why would she be there? Add alcohol (at a minimum) intake to the mixture to impair judgement,and it's understandable.

Blame the pimp,not the customer who has no reason to believe the women offered to him are not adults.

Jeffrey Epstein accuser urges Prince Andrew to 'come clean'

A woman who accused Jeffrey Epstein of sex abuse and alleged she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew as a 17-year-old has urged him to "come clean".

Speaking after a hearing for alleged victims in the wake of Epstein's death, Virginia Giuffre told reporters the prince "knows what he's done".

The Duke of York has previously denied these claims.

A coroner ruled Epstein killed himself this month while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.

Queen Elizabeth’s ‘displeasure’ grows as ex-PM David Cameron spills details of private meetings

By Lucia I. Suarez Sang | Fox News

Former British Prime Minister David Cameron prompted a rare royal rebuke this week from Buckingham Palace, after he made several claims about private meetings with Queen Elizabeth II during a media tour promoting his new memoir.

On Thursday, Cameron told the BBC that some years ago he asked the queen – who is supposed to remain politically neutral – to help the pro-“remain” side in Scotland’s 2014 independence referendum.

He said he felt “panic” that the pro-secession side might win, and told her private secretary that “just a raising of the eyebrow, even, you know, a quarter of an inch, we thought might make a difference.”

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) - Baby Archie made a rare public appearance on Wednesday as his parents, Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, continued their first official tour as a family in South Africa.

Meghan held Archie as the royal couple met with Nobel Peace Prize winner and Archbishop Desmond Tutu in Cape Town.

The youngest member of Britain's royal family had been out of the spotlight since his christening in July. Archie, born in May, is the first child of Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle and seventh in line to the British throne.

Prince Harry walks across Angolan minefield to reconnect with Princes Diana's legacy

It's day six of the Duke of Sussex' royal tour of Africa with his wife Meghan and baby Archie. But Friday morning, Harry returned to Angola alone to reconnect with the legacy of his late mother, Princess Diana.

Diana's legacy was brought full circle when Harry donned the distinctive blue body armor of the HALO Trust. Twenty-two years ago, Diana took a similar path across an Angolan field scattered with deadly landmines, left over from years of civil war. It became one of the most iconic images of her short life.

ANYBODY that honestly believes there were ANY landmines within a quarter mile of where she,or he went walking still believes in Santa and the Easter Bunny.

People talk about "bad PR",so just imagine the bad PR any nation would get that let Diana or her offsprung get blown up by a land mine.

I have no doubt that both he and she thought there were mines there,but there is not one chance in hell there were.

Meghan sues Mail on Sunday over private letter
    59 minutes ago

The Duchess of Sussex has begun legal action against the Mail on Sunday over a claim that it unlawfully published one of her private letters.

In a statement, the Duke of Sussex said he and Meghan were forced to take action against "relentless propaganda".

Prince Harry said: "I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces." [What? That was over 20 years ago. Man up.]  ...

He accused the paper of misleading readers when it published the private letter, by strategically omitting paragraphs, sentences and specific words "to mask the lies they had perpetrated for over a year".

"Put simply, it is bullying, which scares and silences people. We all know this isn't acceptable, at any level," he said.  ...
The BBC story (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-49901047) doesn't indicate what the letter said.

I thought perhaps that he was an interior decorator so I googled "property designer" and got this:  "A property designer or prop designer is a person who designs props for use in theatre, film, television, etc."

Thanks! I had never heard of such a thing,but I am sure he will be able to go anywhere in the world and be able to get a job doing that. Must be a LOT of demand for people who can make a table look like a table,or a sofa look like a sofa.

Cspan had this on, one could watch the whole speech, they are re-airing it now. Some press after seems to say the Queen sided with the Tories, so the conservatives.... I'm just posting this as an update, maybe the title should reflect "Royal Happenings, UK Happenings, Brexit" or something but no, you Royal lovers, I'll leave it to you.  Adding more in would be clutter.

Queen's Speech: All the pomp, but very bizarre circumstances

Laura Kuenssberg Political editor @bbclaurak on Twitter

    14 October 2019

(https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/F91C/production/_109227736_queen'sspeech.jpg)

There was all of the usual pomp, but today took place in very bizarre circumstances indeed.


Traditionally, of course, the Queen's Speech is an enormously significant political day - the occasion when a government reveals its intentions to the world, the promises it will actually try to keep, rather than the ones it made to anyone who was listening during an election campaign.

This time, the Queen's Speech might have almost no meaning at all unless the prime minister can keep the one big promise that he made months ago: to take us out of the European Union by the end of this month.

Article: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-50044871 (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-50044871)

Well, I listened to the speech, it didn't have much controversy for me, pretty standard.

Royal Visit: Britain's Prince William And Kate Tour Pakistan

(https://gdb.rferl.org/04BEAB24-077C-4017-97AC-DACCD75DD452_w1023_r0_s.jpg)
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan (left) with Britain's Catherine, duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William, duke of Cambridge, in Islamabad on October 15.

https://www.rferl.org/a/royal-visit-to-pakistan-by-catherine-and-prince-william/30221433.html (https://www.rferl.org/a/royal-visit-to-pakistan-by-catherine-and-prince-william/30221433.html)

So, I'll just leave that little bit of the article, one can see more for themselves... also, the Pakistan leader?? He was a Cricket legend, that's big over there, India and indeed, Afghanistan.  Imran Khan. He certainly is very light complected. The Pakistanis I've known, are usually much more darker. Khan almost looks like he could pass as a European in at least that picture.


Last week, I saw a list of the 10 most dangerous countries, I'll have to look it up because I forget most of them but India was in the top 10, Pakistan and Mexico, were not. It just made me think some. Of course, those lists are of limited use. Maybe the countries are still very close statistically. We have obesity in the US and states with more obesity but when you get down to the stats, many of the States are very close.

Lots and lots more pictures at link.   Looking at the pictures, it almost looks like her skin is real dry, I'm not real sure what I'm trying to say, sometimes, the skin can be very sensitive. She almost looks a bit blotchy in that last picture, see her hands. No matter, I'm not trying to pick criticisms. She seems fine to me and it could be elevation and climate and perhaps, they have been on this tour for quite a bit of time.  They went into the mountains, maybe that's it.

Next stop, India? Maybe.

Queen Elizabeth vows to stick to fake fur


Fur-get about it.

Queen Elizabeth has decided to switch to faux fur, the monarch’s personal adviser and confidante disclosed in her new book, “The Other Side of the Coin,” according to Metro UK.

“If Her Majesty is due to attend an engagement in particularly cold weather, from 2019 onwards fake fur will be used to make sure she stays warm,” Angela Kelly wrote.

Animal charity Humane Society International/UK applauded the fashionable move.

Kate Middleton giggles after she trips in high heels
AOL.com Editors

The Duchess of Cambridge almost took a spill at her most recent engagement, but she recovered gracefully and with a quick laugh.

The royal joined Prince William on Tuesday to meet with Shout volunteers at the organization's Crisis Volunteer celebration held at Troubadour White City Theatre in London, which brought together supporters from across the United Kingdom.

Their engagement seemed to go without a hitch -- that is, until the duchess lost one of her Gianvito Rossi Piper 85 sued pumps while exiting the venue and almost went down with it.

The royal family attended Buckingham Palace on Wednesday for their traditional pre-Christmas reunion, however the absentees this year were Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle and little Archie.

Each year Queen Elizabeth II calls for the family reunion before she vacations her sandringham property, where she spends Christmas.

On this feast, the main core of the British monarchy gathers at Windsor Castle to celebrate Christmas Eve with Queen Elizabeth, who moved there from mid-December to February for her winter holiday.Christmas celebrations are also part of the real commitments.

Despite the couple having announced they would be splitting their time between North America and the UK, British tax payers could still be picking up a £600,000 annual security bill for the pair and their son baby Archie.

The couple recently returned from a six-week break in Canada over the festive period, where they spent their first Christmas together as a family at a £10.7million home in Vancouver Island.

Just last night it was revealed that the couple had started discussing their plans with senior royals — expected to include the Queen and Prince Charles, but the Palace told MailOnline that they would not comment on 'speculation.'

This evening the couple took to Instagram where they shared the announcement, along with a picture of the pair smiling.

They snubbed a royal Christmas at Sandringham just days after Prince Philip was taken to hospital, and instead spent time with Meghan's mother Doria Ragland at the luxury retreat. 

ITV News at Ten host Tom Bradby, close friends with the couple, told Good Morning Britain today that it was 'no big secret' that they have been considering what their future roles within the royal family will be.

The move - dismissed as 'speculation' by the Palace - comes after a tough year for the couple, with royal insiders saying they felt sidelined by the monarchy, as they launched attacks on the British press and faced criticism over their use of private jets.

They first sparked claims they could be about to step out of the spotlight when they revealed to Bradby in an ITV documentary that they are struggling with the intense media scrutiny they face on a daily basis.

But if they did move to Canada, how will it work? Will the British taxpayer continue to fund their lifestyle, who picks up the bill for security, and would they step back from their royal duties altogether?

Here MailOnline looks at the move abroad and what it means to Canada, the UK and the royal family itself.

Prince Harry’s ‘dispute’ with brother Prince William confirmed by close friend
By Jessica Bennett
January 8, 2020 | 3:16pm

Shortly before news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping away from the royal family broke, Harry’s friend, journalist Tom Bradby, confirmed months-long rumors of a “dispute” between the Duke of Sussex and big brother Prince William. ...

Prince Harry, 35, briefly addressed a rift with his older brother, 37, in October, saying in the ITV documentary “Harry & Meghan: An African Journey”: “Part of this role and part of this job, this family, being under the pressure that it’s under, inevitably stuff happens. But look, we’re brothers, we’ll always be brothers. We’re certainly on different paths at the moment but I’ll always be there for him and as I know he’ll always be there for me.”

I had heard that their was a rift between the brothers, however, never heard of a rift before Missy Markle stepped into the picture.  Chances are she doesn't get along with Kate and it has caused dissension in the Royal family.  All it takes is one ***ch to ruin a family that was once very close.  Just sayin' (speaking from experience here).

Their "personal statement":

Maybe Harry is just celebrating his significant German heritage. 

Hell,  he can open a mini-monarchy in Canada, and resurrect his Saxe-Coburg themed lineage.  He sure lost his head over this Hollywood wench.  Boy has truly succumbed to the title  the duke of susSEX.

I think it's just a matter of time before Meghan is involved in some type of scandal and unfortunately Harry will have already distanced himself from the Royals.  Very, very sad.  She disrupts centuries of Royal traditions and close-knit family ties.

I think the Queen is probably devastated or perhaps she's glad Meghan won't be in the picture as much.  I wonder what Harry's mum must be thinking looking down on them?

Royal breaking news: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back from official duties
The Sussexes released a lengthy statement on Instagram

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced their decision to step back from royal duties. In a lengthy statement posted to Instagram, Harry and Meghan, who have just returned from their six-week break in Canada, revealed they plan to become financially independent and will split their time between the UK and North America. The couple wrote: "After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.

"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment."

What a pair of spineless grifters.  If they really wanted to be independent, then they should give up all their allowances and start working for a living.  Instead, that weaselly statement says:

In other words, they want to continue living off the national teat until they can figure out some other way to get money for which they don't have to actually work.

@Maj. Bill Martin

Don't let anybody kid you. Yeah,they get paid for their performances,which is only right because it IS work,and it DOES bring in tourist dollars as well as give the country a point to rally around,but the Royal Family is insanely rich. Right now the Queen controls it and how much everybody gets,but soon it will be Charles with the keys to their bank. There is zero danger of any of them going hungry or needing an actual job.

Besides,she really is a talented actress,and now that she is Royalty too,she will get getting mega salary's for any role she takes. Think "Princess Grace Kelly",but continuing to star in movies. Once she has a firm lock on that,she will be telling Harry to hit the road,and he will then be back with his family. She now has a Royal son,so there is no danger of them ever cutting off her cash flow from England. I don't know the law,but I am GUESSING one of the prime reasons she wanted to move to North America is that when the day does come when she tells Harry to leave,she gets to keep the kid and the wealth that comes with him.

And she is going to make a LOT of money once she gets back into show biz.

I seriously doubt it. Reality shows are for attention whores that have no talent. She is actually a talented actress,and she is going to collect mega salaries for any role she accepts. She is also smart,and understands she needs to pick and choose her roles,and is now in a position where she can do that. Too much too often,and she kills the Golden Goose.

I see your point, but to perpetuate the lifestyle of a Royal (and a so called Charitable Organization)  is going to take a lot more than a decent movie role a year.  I can see the couple getting unprecedented reality show money for a Kardashian kind of Garbage boob tube show. 

That is unless the happy couples learns to live within the means of normal rabble.   And that seems doubtful. A quick check of the finances from the interwebs says she is worth $5M, him $40M. (mostly in trusts).  They'll burn through that in 3-5 years.

Sure -- then let them cut those deals now, and quit living off the national sponge when they're not engaging in the type of official appearances, etc., that justifies the continued existence of the royal family.  You want out?  Great, you're out.

So start paying for your own crap now.

Of course, that won't happen.  There's no way they'll be cut off completely by the royal family, and they'll retain enough income to continue being moralizing jet-setters looking down on the rest of us.  But...not my money anyway.  Just that of the Brit taxpayers.

Kate's birthday is overshadowed by royal crisis as it emerges Prince Harry 'DEFIED' Queen's orders not to announce he and Meghan Markle will quit and left Prince Charles and Prince William 'incandescent with rage' by giving them just 10 minutes' notice

    Royal family gathered at Kensington Palace to celebrate the Duchess of Cambridge's 38th birthday today
    But celebrations were marred by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's bombshell announcement overnight
    Prince Charles and Prince William were among the senior royals set to meet today to discuss the fallout
    Both heirs were said to be 'incandescent with rage' at learning of plans 10 minutes before announcement
    Royal sources today claimed Prince Harry had ignored crystal-clear orders from the Queen on the subject
    She made explicit request to her grandson that he first discuss his plans in detail with the Prince of Wales
    But he defied order, going ahead with the announcement and 'pressing the nuclear button' on royal career


It also emerged last night that:

    Harry and Meghan want to be 'financially independent' and plan to earn their own income, which they say they are currently prevented from doing;
    They will give up their right to money from the sovereign grant, but could still take money from Prince Charles;
    They will also keep their police protection – funded by the taxpayer – and have offered to carry out a vastly reduced number of royal duties in Britain and elsewhere in the Commonwealth.
    They will retain their home at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor as a UK base;

So much for being financially INDEPENDENT! UK taxpayers will still pay Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's '£600,000 security and £130,000 travel costs' while they will get £2.3m-a-year from Prince Charles' Duchy

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry said they are 'stepping back' from their duties
    They also claim to be losing access to Sovereign Grant shared by the Queen
    But if they continue royal duties their travel is covered from £83million pot
    They also receive £2m-plus from Prince Charles, who now faces a big decision
    Couple and their son Archie require 24/7 police bodyguards costing £600k
    Refurbishment on Frogmore Cottage cost £2.4m - but work is still not finished

Same comment...see above.  Edward and Simpson welcomed staying on the Royal UK trough, and even kept begging for more.  You really think he and Meagan are going to give up their lavish lifestyle?  He may reverse that call after suffering a bit, but if the are really stating they are going toward financial independence, I will believe it on that merit.

When the two of them were engaged they did a one hour interview on a show here in the US -- I think 20/20 but I could be wrong.  They were talking about how they met and she said that a friend introduced them but she really didn't know who he was.  I found that impossible to believe and suspected that as an actress she was "acting the part" to fool Harry, but hoped that I was wrong. 

Now that she has successfully isolated him from his family she no longer has to "act the part" all of the time.  Must be exhausting not being able to be yourself.  She will eventually dump Harry just as she has nearly everyone else in her life.

And, yes, this was timed to ruin Kate's birthday.

Should be interesting.  Does this mean that Harry and Meghan will get jobs in the public sector?  I had heard that they were contemplating a move to Canada? If all else fails they can live with Doria.  Maybe Harry can be a stay at home Daddy while she gets back into her modeling career.  They have options.   happy77



Financially independent to me means...take your money and go jump in the Channel. I seriously doubt that is meant by either of them.

In my strange imagination I see their resumes...

Harry: Prince of England
Megan: Actress with limited experience

Yep, I'd hire either or both in a heartbeat.
But I do wish them well.

I can see how this whole thing went once the "planners" in the Palace discovered Harry saw her as more than a convenient hump. 

They had to take into consideration all the non-white people that come under the dominion of GB,and said to each other,"Cool! Let him marry the Halfrican actress. It will do good thing for our image in our far-flug Colonies,and make things go smoother!

After all,what could go wrong?"

Personally, I think them distancing themselves from the "senior" Royals will be a benefit to the Royal family.  I think she "stained" the Royal family with controversy and certainly some upheaval to the family.  Good riddance to them.  It will be interesting to see how they earn their money outside their family.  They have millions already so -- this to me is no big deal other than turning up their noses at the Royal family.

Queen Elizabeth orders private meeting with Prince Harry, Prince William, Prince Charles: reports


Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly called a private meeting with Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry to discuss the recent royal drama that has unfolded in the press.

Buckingham Palace made headlines this week when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced they would be stepping down as "senior members" of the British royal family and splitting their time between the U.K and U.S. to become financially independent of the crown.

Sky News tweeted Saturday about news of the reported family meeting, saying it was meant to help find "solutions" to help ease the tension of their departure....

Canadian billionaire Frank Giustra providing luxe hideout for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle
By Emily Smith and Oli Coleman
January 12, 2020 | 12:43pm


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been hiding out at the home of Canadian billionaire Frank Giustra, whose close ties to the Clintons have created international controversy, Page Six can exclusively reveal.

Harry and Meghan refused to reveal the owner of the multi-million dollar waterfront mansion near Victoria, British Columbia — the place where they plotted their shock exit from the royal family.

But multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told Page Six that the owner is Giustra, 62, who made his fortune as a stockbroker, co-founded Hollywood studio Lionsgate — producing flicks including “American Psycho” and the Michael Moore documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” — and is best known in the US as one of the biggest donors to the Clinton Foundation. ...  More (https://pagesix.com/2020/01/12/canadian-billionaire-frank-giustra-providing-luxe-hideout-for-prince-harry-meghan-markle/?_ga=2.244735365.1412190271.1578664682-2086435611.1560562632)

Prince William hopes the Royals can one day reconcile, he said in his first public comments on the Megxit scandal.

“I’ve put my arm around my brother all our lives and I can’t do that anymore…I’m sad about that,” he told the Sunday Times.

What she is upset about is she thinks she is a "Star",and is getting less attention than anybody in the Royal Family. Everybody in her family back home comes in a VERY distance second to her in fame and attention.

How Prince Harry Turned Into Lena Dunham
Composure and class, stoic fortitude, and a sense of duty are not due to bloodline or money. Some people naturally possess them, and some can attain them through discipline, but most do not.
By Sumantra Maitra
January 13, 2020

As Prince Harry and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, make plans to move to Justin Trudeau’s woke paradise, Afua Hirsch is bitter. The author of “Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging” (yes, it reads exactly as it sounds) writes in The New York Times to claim it was racism that drove Harry and Meghan out of the United Kingdom.
Quote
    If the media paid more attention to Britain’s communities of color, perhaps it would find the announcement far less surprising. With a new prime minister whose track record includes overtly racist statements, some of which would make even Donald Trump blush, a Brexit project linked to native nationalism and a desire to rid Britain of large numbers of immigrants, and an ever thickening loom of imperial nostalgia, many of us are also thinking about moving.
...  The reason for Harry and Meghan’s departure is pure liberal-individualist narcissism. And both are equally responsible for that. Due to its symbolic and apolitical nature, British aristocracy are not supposed to publicly espouse political opinions, much less actively lecture people about mental health, toxic masculinity, or climate change. They are supposed to go to war, open hospitals, and silently take part in charitable causes. Duty, stoicism, propriety, and patriotism are supposed to be the four cornerstones of nobility.

Unfortunately, Harry has too much of Princess Diana in him, from compulsively breaking orthodoxy and tradition, to extreme and fatalistic narcissism.  ...

That would be interesting in the sense of I wonder how much of it would actually be believed v. perceived as sour grapes.  Sure, he could probably take some shots at Prince Philip and obviously Andrew, but I my guess is there really isn't that much horrible stuff about the Queen, Charles, or William.  So maybe he could score some points against the lesser royals, but I suspect an awful lot of Brits would really around the core of the royal family.

Didn't want Archie growing up in a toxic environment?  Seems like the toxic one is Meghan.  She has caused the dissension in the family.  She is jealous of Kate because she will NEVER have her status nor position in the royal family -- its just the way the royal lineage works. Secondly, Archie is a part of the royal family -- but will NEVER have the status of his cousins and I'm sure that just frosted her Cheerios.

Perhaps when she was gold digging she should have done a little research instead of expecting that everyone was going to bow down to her.  I also think she had intended to play the race card too -- well that didn't quite work out either.

PRINCE HARRY met a Russian billionaire linked to his and Meghan's £11million Canada hideaway at a celebrity Google climate change retreat, it is reported.

The Duke of Sussex is said to have enjoyed a 'substantive chat' with businessman Yuri Milner at the three-day Google Camp gathering in Sicily last summer.

Didn't want Archie growing up in a toxic environment?  Seems like the toxic one is Meghan.  She has caused the dissension in the family.  She is jealous of Kate because she will NEVER have her status nor position in the royal family -- its just the way the royal lineage works. Secondly, Archie is a part of the royal family -- but will NEVER have the status of his cousins and I'm sure that just frosted her Cheerios.

Perhaps when she was gold digging she should have done a little research instead of expecting that everyone was going to bow down to her.  I also think she had intended to play the race card too -- well that didn't quite work out either.

All in total agreement and well said.

Most British women, many at least, I'm sure would have welcomed being married to Harry, at first, I thought, well, he's being open-minded marrying her.  All very unfortunate.

LONDON (AP) — One of the world’s rarest coins, a gold piece bearing the image of Britain’s King Edward VIII before his abdication, has sold for 1 million pounds ($1.3 million), setting a new record for a British coin.

The historical oddity shows Edward, the uncle of Queen Elizabeth II, before he relinquished the throne in 1936 to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson.

Meghan gets twice as many negative headlines as positive, analysis finds
Pamela Duncan and Polly Bindman

The Duchess of Sussex gets more than twice as many negative headlines as positive ones, according to Guardian analysis of articles published between May 2018 and mid January 2019.

The analysis – which appears to support Meghan’s argument that she has faced highly critical treatment in the British press – found that of the 843 articles in 14 print newspapers since mid-May 2018, 43% were negative. Just 20% of the articles were positive, with the remaining 36% remaining neutral.

Findings hinted that claims she receives significantly more critical treatment than the Duchess of Cambridge were correct. An equivalent search for headlines in which the Duchess of Cambridge was mentioned resulted in a fraction of the results but found that of just 144 headlines over the same time period, 45% of those about Kate were positive in tone, 47% neutral and just 8% negative.

Meghan Markle eyes $27M Vancouver home as queen releases Sussexes from royal duties

Meghan Markle may have found a Canadian home for herself, Prince Harry and baby Archie.

Markle has been “eyeing up” a $27 million mansion in Vancouver’s ritzy Kitsilano neighborhood, The Sun reported.

The four-level, 6,800-square-foot home includes six bedrooms and bathrooms on a 12,300-square-foot waterfront property, according to the listing marketed by Daniel Tan PREC* with Angell Hasman & Associates Realty............

Harry was reported to have inheirited 39 Million pounds from his mother,and Megan is said to have been worth 5 million dollars when they married. She will easily pick up a couple of million on her next acting gig,and who knows how much Harry has earned from investments and just plain interest in all the years that have passed since he inherited 39 million lbs?

They'll go through those millions like water.  They see themselves as global do-gooders and they'll have to pay for at least some of their own travel, and probably their security on these excursions, as well.  I doubt Canada or the Brits will pay for their globe trotting security when they're out in the world doing personal business.

They'll end up either doing podcasts from their water front home or quickly learn there's nothing wrong with a two bedroom cottage in the woods without gold tubs in their one bathroom.

And then there are the taxes .... with three countries in play......

Not a chance. They will pull in a lot of money for any charity they show up to promote.

Yeah,the Brits will pay for it. They might not want to,but Harry and Meagan  ARE the parents of a child born into nobility,and where the  baby goes,British security will go. No matter what anyone says,that IS what will happen. Plus,even if he is no longer a Prince,Harry is still a member of the British Royal Family,and a target for terrorists. I do believe he also still holds a commission in the Royal Army and can be called up for duty if necessary.

Anybody that tries to attack him,his wife,or his son is going to wish they hadn't if they are lucky enough to be in a position to wish when the attack ends.



Quote

They will only pay taxes in Canada because they will move their money there. They might end up paying property taxes on the house they own in England,but that's really doubtful because the line seems to be pretty blurry between what belongs to him as an individual,and what belongs to him as a member of the Royal Family,regardless of title. I THINK the Queen can just determine he doesn't own it anymore,take it back,and then rent it out to him for a dollar a year if she wants,and you can be sure she is wanting to have Harry's son to visit with. So will Prince Charles.

AFATG,does anyone in the Royal Family REALLY own any property,or does it all belong to the Queen,and she just says who can live where? I know she just gave him some property with a mansion in the countryside after he married. I don't know if that just means he and his family can live there for the rest of their lives,or if they actually own it. I strongly suspect he would hit a very serious speed bump if he put it up for sale.

Either way,I promise to work hard to not feel sorry for him and save up nickels to send to him.

@mystery-ak

There was a report last week that he had inherited 39 million pounds from his mother's estate. Since he and the rest of the Royal Family basically live for free off the Royal Trust as tourist attractions and he isn't known to gamble or be a big spender,who knows what investments he has or how much that original 39 million pounds has grown into over the last 3 decades? Also,don't found that is 39 million British Pounds,NOT US dollars.

Nobody is going to be holding any fundraisers for him anytime soon.

As for Megan,she was said to have 5 million in cash and assets when she married him,and she can easily doubt that with her next movie role or tv series now that she is ex-royalty and the mother of royalty.

Speaking as someone who is worth dozens of dollars,and all of them going out to one payment or another next month,I won't be holding a pity party for them anytime soon.

@Sighlass

I am far from being an authority on the English ruling classes,but AFAIK,the Royal Family tries to stay clear of politics for the most part,and stick to PR work. Princess Ho,Harry's mother,broke that chain with her mindless "do-gooder" efforts. Like calling land mines "bad" for instance. Gee,and here I was thinking everybody LOVED unmarked minefields! That was really some cutting-edge stuff on her part.

Her boys fell in line with tradition,and Harry even distinguished himself in the army. Then he got P-whupped,and who knows what paths she will drag him down before she finally cuts him loose in exchange for a ring from someone richer that can further her career? After all,the fame of being a Duchess fades once it is taken from you.

There seems to be a pretty fundamental disconnect at the heart of what Harry is trying to do.

Neither he nor his wife have any real marketable skills, and neither seems inclined to work 9-5 anyway.  So, their plan for earning income seems to be leverage their names and fame into various marketing deals, etc..  But, the entire reason they (supposedly) left the royal family was a desire for more privacy.  But removing themselves from the public eye is the bane of their only marketable commodity.  The moment they're no longer famous, and there are no more paparazzi following them around is the moment their marketing ventures likely will fail.

You can't simultaneously leverage fame while becoming recluses for the sake of privacy.

If that's the case, then imagine when Harry comes to the realization that it wasn't fame/publicity/lack of privacy that bothered Meghan -- it was just that she wasn't the center of all that attention.

He may as well just hand in his man card and change his last name to Markle at that point.

@Maj. Bill Martin

Not true! She really is a pretty good actress,but she IS now closing in on 40 in a field where youth and beauty dominate,and in probably THE most competitive business in the world.

Being married to a former Prince just may be the thing she needed to give her the edge she needed to stay relevant and employed as an actress the next few years.

As for Harry,he has nothing but his inheirited forture going for him now. He has shown poor judgement,and is not likely to be allowed to regain his titles. Try not to hold any pity parties for him,though. He's going to do ok once she tells him to get out.

Harry has stated that he had no other choice??  What exactly does that mean? I would be curious to know why he felt he didn't have any other choice, other than Meghan has made this choice for him.  He gave up his entire family and his military career.  Obviously his love is very deep for her, but obviously it would seem if she truly loved him, she wouldn't have expected him to give him his family for her -- a family that seemed to be accepting of her regardless of her past lifestyle, and well, her ethnicity.  Regardless of who he married, she and he would never be any further up the line of succession of "royalty". than they were. That's just the way it is and has been for centuries.  I wonder if Harry and Meghan announcing that they were leaving, were hoping to force the Queen's hand and that she would make some exceptions for them.  Perhaps when she did not, Harry then stated he was left with no other choice?  Sad.  Perhaps he was never happy with his position in the family and felt that he and his mother Princess Di -- were always slated?  I believe Meghan saw an opportunity to manipulate his already 'heavy heart' within the family because of his mother. She took advantage of that to have him all to herself -- along with his money and status.  She spit on the royal family.  Shame on her.

But trust in this third dimension is further compromised by the fact that none of the major players filtering this story for our consumption is exactly a disinterested bystander. All three of the major newspaper groups most obsessed with Harry and Meghan are themselves being sued by the couple for assorted breaches of privacy and copyright. There is, to any reasonable eyes, a glaring conflict of interest that, for the most part, goes undeclared.

Quote
Over at the Mirror Group, there is a similar shyness about allowing daylight into the activities of past executives. Former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan, one of the most vehement critics of the royal couple, does not find time or space to let his readers or viewers know that his name crops up very many times in the generic phone-hacking litigation particulars of claims in front of Mann. Morgan may be entirely innocent, but if you spend your time pouring venom over a claimant in a case that might touch on your own conduct, you’d think there was at least an interest to declare – every single time you do it.

And then there is the further legal action by Meghan against Associated Newspapers claiming assorted breaches of copyright, privacy and data protection. The Mail on Sunday claims “huge and legitimate public interest” in publishing extracts from a private letter from Meghan to her father. We shall see, but meanwhile there’s no harm in portraying her as a ruthless hypocrite and gold-digger. If Morgan’s on hand with the vitriol, everyone’s happy.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfzu2ObrYzc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfzu2ObrYzc#)

FWIW, my favorite Piers Morgan story is when Jeremy Clarkson punched him in the face after Morgan published a scurrilous story about Clarkson and his then wife.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding souvenirs removed from Royal Collection's website
MSN, Jan 22, 2020, Daily Mail/UK

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's official wedding souvenirs are no longer sold in the Royal Collection's online shop in the wake of the couple's decision to quit royal life.

Commemorative pieces including a fine bone china coffee mug, a tankard and a plate were released ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials in Windsor in May of 2018.

Some pieces were still available to purchase as recently as a few days ago, but now searches for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex bring up no results on royalcollectionshop.co.uk.

It comes after it emerged that Harry and Meghan trademarked their Sussex Royal brand on more than 100 items including pencils, socks and bookmarks more than six months ago, before declaring they wanted to quit the royal family and work toward 'financial independence.' 

A spokeswoman for the Royal Collection Trust said the chinaware items had sold out.

The majority of items celebrating Princess Eugenie's wedding, including a tea towel and a china tankard, have also sold out but still appear listed as such on the site.

Chinaware marking the Queen becoming the longest reigning monarch in 2015 - three years before the Sussexes' wedding - is still available to buy.

Palace denies Prince Charles 'snubbed' Mike Pence

The Prince of Wales was greeting dignitaries, including world leaders, at an event to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz - but seemed to ignore US Vice-President Mike Pence.

Video: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-middle-east-51227444/palace-denies-prince-charles-snubbed-mike-pence (https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-middle-east-51227444/palace-denies-prince-charles-snubbed-mike-pence)

I watched the video and Yes, imho, he certainly does snub him and Ms. Pence or at least, go right past him. Rather rude.

I don't know if anyone post that yet but...

I commend the BBC for their whole coverage of the conference on the Holocaust (75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz).

There is a thread on it, I noted the BBC is not saying "so and so was there" but are just reporting on a somber occasion.

That Prince Chas. would do this at this Anniversary speaks for itself, pretty low class.  They can deny it happened all they want.

That  angers me a bit but this was a solemn occasion, it's a bit like if someone was trying to pull off a one-up on you at a funeral, that's not the place to do it.  Rather repugnant.  I guess, they can say it was inadvertent, sort of repeating myself.

Meghan's done as bad as that?  Hard to say.

I've also heard people say, complain about Harry and Meghan but what about Prince Andrew? It's starting to become a train wreck.

EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle is planning to give her first interview to Ellen because she feels they are 'kindred spirits and host understands her pain and suffering' - a snub to BFF Oprah

    Meghan Markle told her close friends she is planning on giving Ellen DeGeneres her first interview, insiders have exclusively told DailyMail.com
    They said: '[Meghan] said Ellen understands her pain and suffering. That she epitomizes authenticity. [Meghan] feels like they are kindred spirits'
    The two met at a dog shelter in LA where Ellen encouraged Meghan to adopt her first dog Bogart, and Ellen and her wife visited Meghan and Harry in London
    'Ellen and Meghan have already discussed a sit-down interview. That's been in the works for quite some time now,' a source at the Ellen Show confirmed
    They said the interview will 'be all hush-hush and most likely at a secret location'
    They added: '[Ellen] would want a sit-down with the both of them together. She wants her fans to see what she already knows to be true'
    'Ellen getting the first shot at an in depth interview is surely going to put Oprah's - (and Gayle King's) nose out of joint,' a source added to DailyMail.com
    A spokesperson for Ellen did not return request for comment but when asked on camera if she was excited to interview Meghan, she said: 'Sure, I'm excited'

I would ‘obviously’ like to return to Iran, says Charles
By Emma Bowden, PA

The Prince of Wales has said he would like to visit Iran, as he spoke of his desire to be a “peacemaker”.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Charles said he “obviously” would like to go to Iran, a country which he described as an important part of the world and home to “remarkable” people.

Tensions in the region were heightened in early January, provoked by the US killing of Iran’s top general Qassem Soleimani.

Queen Elizabeth gives Prince William new title after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lose HRH status

Queen Elizabeth has given Prince William a brand-new title: Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

Prince William, 37, who also carries the titles The Duke of Cambridge and Earl of Strathearn (the latter is a Scottish title bestowed to him on his 2011 wedding day. Wife Kate Middleton, 38, is known as the Countess of Strathearn in the U.K. country).

According to a government announcement published Saturday, Prince William will use the bonus name in his new role as “the Sovereign’s personal representative to the Annual General Assembly of the Church of Scotland” for which he will make opening and closing speeches to the Assembly and perform other official duties.

ISMO that she was after the "HRH" title because it could really pump up her acting fees. Hollywood may pretend to hate royalty,but the truth is they are just jealous.

Agree.  When it is all said and done, she'll be Fergie on steroids.  We may never see grifting again at this level in our lifetimes

@catfish1957

I kinda liked Ferbie. Even sitting aside the whole "doublebreasted redhead thing",I still liked her.

'We're treated like SKIVVIES': Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Scotland Yard protection officers 'claim they're sent on errands like picking up royals' groceries and coffees' in Canada

    *Highly-trained protection officers have also been seen at organic delicatessen

Scotland Yard officers guarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's have said they are treated 'like skivvies' and forced to do 'menial tasks' like picking up takeaways and groceries, it has been claimed.

Highly-trained protection staff have also allegedly been seen buying food from an organic delicatessen, a favourite of Meghan's, and picking up coffees from fast food outlet Tim Hortons.

A team of 15 guards has been flown to guard the couple and their nine-month-old son Archie at their secluded Canadian bolthole, after they stood back from royal duties.

The Duke and Duchess's security is estimated to cost taxpayers in Canada and the UK between £3million and £6million a year, as staff work round the clock two weeks at a time.   ...

U.K. cities refuse to fly flags for royal pariah Prince Andrew’s birthday
NY Daily Mail, Feb 6, 2020

Traditionally, town halls fly the British flag to celebrate royal birthdays, but many responded to the reminder email with indignation.

“We’re not flying the flag,” a Liverpool Council spokesperson told CNN. The city’s mayor, Joe Anderson, added that it “wouldn’t be appropriate” to mark Andrew’s 60th birthday on Feb. 19.

Princess Beatrice: Royal wedding to be held on 29 May


Princess Beatrice's wedding to Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi will take place on 29 May, Buckingham Palace has announced.

They will be married at the Chapel Royal at St James Palace, with a reception later at Buckingham Palace.

The Queen will host the private reception in the palace gardens.

Beatrice, the 31-year-old daughter of the Duke of York and the Duchess of York, became engaged to her property tycoon boyfriend in Italy last September.

Buckingham Palace says that the choice of the Chapel Royal, a family chapel adjacent to the home of Princess Beatrice, is an indication of the scale and nature of the wedding.

Is there really any polite way to say "3rd Tier Royalty who would even like to give THAT up" ?

Don't forget,she grew up seeing the disrespect given to her mother by the Royal Family,and she was most likely treated like some sort of "hillbilly cousins" by her relatives on her father's side of the family.

Agreed.  Both William and Kate are very comfortable in their current roles and will make an easy transition to King William and Queen Katherine.  They will add their own modern flair to the role but also keeping well within tradition. Kate exudes beauty and grace and it comes very naturally and William also exhibits natural charisma. He will continue the dignity of his lineage and Kate will serve her position well by his side. Not so fast though, Charles is still in line after the Queen retires.

I believe that both Markle and Harry were very envious of the two when they didn't get the recognition and status after Archie was born and that is what prompted them to leave.  They know that they will never achieve the status that they felt they deserved in England and decided to leave in order to achieve the status and recognition that they felt that they deserved.  I believe Markle thought that's what she signed up for when she married Harry and soon found out that wasn't the case.

EXCLUSIVE: Defiant Meghan tells friends there's nothing 'legally stopping' her and Prince Harry from using their Sussex Royal name, despite Queen banning them from using it

    Meghan Markle has told friends there's nothing 'legally stopping' her and Prince Harry from using their Sussex Royal name, DailyMail.com can reveal
    The Queen said they couldn't keep the word 'royal' in their 'branding', despite the likely thousands of dollars Meghan and Harry have sunk into their website
    Meghan complained using the name 'shouldn't be an issue... and it's not like they want to be in the business of selling T-shirts and pencils,' the insider said
    'Meghan said the global projects they are working on speak for themselves and they chose that name to protect the royal name, not profit off of it'
    'She said they know what their true intentions are and that's all that matters'
    The friend added: 'Meghan said she's done with the drama and has no room in her life for naysayers, and the same goes for Harry'
    The couple began using the Sussex Royal branding last year, after splitting from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's household known as Kensington Royal

Prince William holds meetings preparing him to take over from Prince Charles
Nicholas Bieber

Prince William has started making preparations to take over a major role from his dad when Prince Charles becomes King.

The Duke of Cambridge has held a meeting on his succession training, which will whirr into action once the Queen dies and Prince Charles takes the throne.

William will automatically inherit his dad’s “Duke of Cornwall” title and £1 billion “Duchy of Cornwall” estate when the big day comes, the Daily Star Online reports.

Technically that’s not true. If something had happened to Charles and William, my understanding is if William’s children were underage, Harry would be regent until the oldest became of age. This is why William IV who hated Victoria’s mother so much was so happy when she finally turned 18 and he died shortly thereafter. His biggest worry was if he died before his niece was 18, her mother would be regent and he disliked the Duchess of York.

It also explains certain myths about Richard III. When Edward IV died his brother Richard III became regent for his two sons, who were not of age. Richard put them in the Tower of London. Someone murdered the boys, and Richard thereby became King. Originally he should have only been King Regent for six or seven years. Same with Henry VIII’s son Edward VI, he had a regency council rule for him that was made of Jane Seymour’s brother , and later the first Earl of Warwick. Edward had a coronation but he was only nine, so he technically wasn’t King.

She is even one of the few surviving WW-2 vets. She drove an ambulance in London during the Blitz while the Germans were bombing London.

Harry is so far down the line, even behind Williams kids, that is no way he will ever be anything but an overpaid baby brother.

@EdinVA

And....,let's be honest about it. His father was one of  his ho mother's boyfriends,NOT Prince Charles. Can't remember his name now,but IIRC,he was a Major in a Calvary unit,MAYBE Scots Guards. Everybody is being polite about this because it's not his fault and there is no need to embarrass the innocent,but it ain't what you would call a secret that Prince Charles was never what anyone would call a "studly man". He managed to pump out a heir,and then he pretty much lost interest in Diana.

Meghan Markle ‘wants to bail out on her terms,’ says Prince Charles biographer: It’s ‘spiteful fury’

excerpt:
“The statement was really spiteful fury from Meghan — What Meghan wants Meghan gets,” he fired on the morning show, as reported by U.K.’s Daily Mail.

“It was rude to the queen,” he continued. “What is spiteful is, she married into the royal family not that long ago and she bailed out. But she wants to bail out on her terms. What is most important for this country is to protect the reputation of the royal family. What you’ve really got is this couple being led by Meghan [who] wants to commercialize the royal family.”

Journalist Afua Adom questioned Bower, asking how he could possibly know Harry, 35, is being “led by Meghan," 38.

“It’s the truth,” responded Bower. “She has a whole life, a whole career of commercial exploitation of herself. She has absolutely no status apart from being attached to the royal family.”

Friend of Princess Anne found shot dead at Boris Johnson’s old home, murder-suicide attempt eyed
By Joe Tacopino | New York Post

A dog trainer who worked for Princess Anne was found shot dead in a suspected murder-suicide attempt at the former home of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a report said.

Debbie Zurick, 56, was killed at the cottage where Johnson grew up in England, and her husband John was left in critical condition from a gunshot wound, according to The Sun.

“I thought they were happy together. They seemed to have the perfect life,” Debbie’s half-brother Phillip Townsend, 44 told the newspaper.

Prince Harry returns to UK for final round of royal engagements, requests to only be called 'Harry'

Prince Harry returned to the United Kingdom for one of his final engagements as a senior member of the royal family.

The Duke of Sussex, 35, traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland by train to attend a summit for an eco-friendly tourism firm called Travalyst, according to reports.

The event host, Ayesha Hazarika, informed the crowd that Harry did not want to be referred to as "Prince" during the appearance.

Meghan Markle 'snubbed' for Disney role
as 'she needs them more', says film boss
Mirror [UK], by Brogan-Leigh Hurst

Posted by earlybird — 3/1/2020 11:31:23 PM

Meghan Markle is said to have been snubbed by Disney for being a "controversial figure," following reports her agent was finding her a Hollywood role with the film company. The Duchess of Sussex, 38, is believed to be trying to get herself back into acting as she and husband Prince Harry start their new life, after they stepped down from royal duties. Responding to speculation, an unnamed film executive has revealed there are "limited plans" for Meghan to secure a big role - after she allegedly told her agent to find her a superhero role with Marvel.

You know,Hollywood is so full  of snobs it never even occurred to me that Markle would be a victim of reverse snobbery,which,of course,is based on jealousy.

How ironic is it that her carefully-crafted career move would end up killing her career because of the jealousy of her peers?

Prince William Jokes About Spreading Coronavirus During Royal Engagement
“By the way, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are spreading coronavirus, Sorry,” the royal cracked at an event in Dublin.

By Lee Moran

Prince William cracked what some critics considered to be an insensitive joke about the deadly coronavirus outbreak during a royal engagement in Dublin on Tuesday.

“I bet everyone’s like ‘I’ve got coronavirus, I’m dying’, and you’re like, ‘No, you’ve just got a cough,’” the Duke of Cambridge was caught on camera telling first responder Joe Mooney at a reception at the Guinness Storehouse.

William also asked Mooney if he thought the crisis that has killed more than 3,000 people worldwide ― nine of them in the U.S. ― was being “a little bit hyped up” by the media.

“I think what has really, really upset the British public is that Meghan Markle, who many people consider as only, you know, five clicks up from trailer trash, has actually tried to disrespect the queen,” said Mather. “And the queen is the most respected person, most respected woman, in the world.”................

BREAKING: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leave Canada and set up home in LA amid the coronavirus crisis and flew by private jet to California before Trump closed the border
Daily Mail, Mar 26, 2020

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left Canada for good to set up a permanent home in to California, according to reports.

The couple, along with 10-month-old son Archie, are said to have flown to Los Angeles by private jet before Donald Trump closed the border.   

A source told The Sun: 'The borders were closing and flights were stopping. They had to get out.'

Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, are said to want to be close to 'their new team of Hollywood agents and PRs'. The source added: 'Meghan has lots of friends there and, of course, her mum Doria.'

They had been holed up at their Vancouver Island waterfront mansion amid the coronavirus pandemic.

But their latest move is said to have 'stunned and horrified' others in the royal family after Prince Charles, 71, tested positive for coronavirus. Sources say it had been hoped that they might return to Britain amid the pandemic.

"Their new team of Hollywood agents"??  Perhaps Meghan's new team and Harry is at her side.  "Meghan has lots of friends there"; meanwhile Harry gave up everything, his career, his friends, his royal family, perhaps his country?  It seems Meghan is more and more selfish as time goes on.

I can't help but wonder if Harry agreed to all of this before they were married ... or if Meghan has something over him, like his son Archie??  If they divorce how can he return to the royals?

I hope I'm wrong and he's truly happy.

They Love L.A. – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Move to California

Simon Kent27 Mar 20202,553

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex — also known as Prince Harry and his Hollywood wife Meghan – have left Canada behind and moved permanently to California, UK media reports said Friday.

The Royal couple flew by private jet from Canada to Los Angeles last week before the border between the two countries closed because of the deadly Chinese coronavirus outbreak, the Sun newspaper reported from London.

The transfer is part of the “transitioning” process from all Royal duties to a “progressive new role” in 2020 the two outlined in January.

Living in Los Angeles also moves them closer to living a “modest life of seclusion and privacy away from the media spotlight” they have previously announced was vital to their future.

It is thought Prince Harry is now keen to pursue his environmental mentor role while wife Meghan has never concealed her desire to restart her acting career.

Royal Palace confirms Queen Elizabeth tests positive for coronavirus


UNITED KINGDOM- Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, Buckingham Palace confirmed in a shocking release a few minutes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed he tested positive for coronavirus.

News of the Queen testing positive for COVID-19 does not come as a surprise since there was a possibility that she could have been exposed by the virus during one of her weekly meetings with Prime Minister Boris Johnson who tested positive an hour ago. ...

Her health, the palace added, remains good and stable though she has shown mild symptoms of the novel coronavirus.

In a brief statement, the palace said:  “HMQ has also tested positive and is currently self-isolating at Windsor Castle. The Queen came into contact with the PM on the 11th March and is following all the appropriate advice with regards to her welfare”. ...

Dang right.  As his ties to royal family, and his fame fades, he'll just be "security fodder" if he happens to crash the corporate gates trying to exploit his former social standing.

Kind of like ol' Fergie, who pretty much now is just a trivia question.

Just read the article: 

Meghan reportedly recorded her narration for the upcoming “Elephants” documentary months before she and Prince Harry announced their plans to take a step back from their senior royal duties.

They did not tell them who they MUST hire and as stated above, this was before they left their Royal duties.

Reminds me of an interview I saw of John Prine. He was asked why he was happy that people didn't readily recognize him when he was out and about.  His wife chimed in and said she knew why: He wanted to be able to go to Kroger with a hole in his shirt. He agreed.

Let’s now forget them, and start a new news cycle. As for me, I’m kind of impressed how Edward and Sophie are stepping up with their children, and doing more events. And the Queen is going to celebrate her actual birthday in April. She gets to celebrate her birthday again in June. Two birthday cakes every year? Ooh. Don’t you wish you could too?

Oh William and Kate posted some darling photos of social media of their children clapping for all the first responders. They were wearing the cutest tailored clothes, and looked...well, adorable. (But then, most children of that age are adorable, right?)

Why should they get preferential treatment?  Harry may be British royalty and Meghan by marriage -- but they need to provide their on secret service protection if that's what they want in the U.S.A.  Does the government provide secret service for other Hollywood celebrities.  I just don't see the two of them deserving; especially Meghan.  She was unknown before she latched on to Harry.

Since Harry is not really in the succession line and is no longer a "formal Royal",why would we do this? After all,it's not like they can't afford to pay for it themselves,or that THEY would have problems hiring armed guards in anti-gun Ca.

Prince Harry will feel like a 'duck out of water' and could be seen as 'Meghan's plus-one' as he struggles to establish himself in LA, former royal editor claims
Daily Mail/UK, Apr 8, 2020

Prince Harry will be feeling 'helpless' and like a 'duck out of water' as he tries to establish himself in Los Angeles, a former royal editor has claimed.

Duncan Larcombe, a journalist and author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, told how the prince, 35, could be seen as Meghan Markle's 'plus one' as he tries to forge his own path in his wife's hometown.

Speaking to Closer, Mr Larcombe added that Harry might be feeling 'helpless' not being able to do more for his family as they try to boost the nation's morale during the coronavirus lockdown.

He said: 'Harry didn't go to university and he hasn't had much work experience other than being in the army and charity work.

'Being in Hollywood is likely to make him feel like a duck out of water, as it will be tricky for him to find a suitable role.'

He added: 'I suspect he will be missing home more than ever and feeling a bit helpless,'referring to the efforts other members of the British royal family have been making to raise morale amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

[...]

The couple had wanted to be based in a Commonwealth like Canada where they could still perform royal duties while earning their own income.

But issues of Meghan's passport status meant she would have to pay a large amount on tax on earnings, The Sun reported.

A source said: 'They were told getting work visas in Canada would be difficult and because Meghan remains a US citizen, so is taxed on her worldwide income, she would end up paying in the US and Canada.

It is believed the Duchess would have to report self-employment income from while also paying a 15.3 per cent levy to cover taxes on social security and medicare.

She would also have to make disclosure to the US' Internal Revenue Service on any foreign bank accounts.

Prince Harry Is 'Finding Things a Bit Challenging Right Now,' Says Friend Dr. Jane Goodall
Gabrielle Chung


Prince Harry is finding his new life “a bit challenging” after relocating to North America, according to his friend, famed conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall.

The primatologist and anthropologist, 88, shared that she has “been in touch” with Harry, 35, since he stepped down his royal duties, explaining that she believes he’s had to make some serious changes in his life as he settles down in the United States with wife Meghan Markle and their 11-month-old son, Archie.  ...

While speaking about Harry and Prince William as champions of the natural world, Goodall also discussed the fact the two siblings do hunt, though she believes the younger brother will stop engaging in the activity.

“Yes, except they hunt and shoot,” she said when discussing the two’s support for nature conservation. “But I think Harry will stop because Meghan doesn’t like hunting, so I suspect that is over for him.” ...

I hope I’m that active and all when I’m 88. Hurray for Ms. Goodall.

As for Harry, wonder if he will be like Edward VIII, (of course without being king, but winding up the same way) or divorced and back with “the firm” in the next few years. He was the child Diana worried about the most.

Just as we were getting used to the headlines about hospitalization and mortality rates, the really bad news arrives. Meghan and Harry are back. After scuttling to California before they were isolated in the hell of a luxury rental in Vancouver, the unemployed ex-royals are loose on the streets of Los Angeles. Disguised as two Postmates workers, they’re delivering bags of food to already vulnerable members of the public and making sure to be filmed doing it. Think Candid Camera, without the candor. Like everything this spontaneously warm and down-to-earth couple does, this stunt combines a cold whiff of careful planning with their signature aroma,

If they want privacy, if they want to do good, then do good, quietly, without fanfare.

Daily Mail/UK, Apr 27, 2020

•Meghan Markle told friends if Kate Middleton was constantly being criticized by the press, the royal family would have stepped in and changed its media policies

•'She said no one would have put up with it... Those outlets responsible would have been shunned,' an insider told DailyMail.com

•Last week the Sussexes announced they would have 'no corroboration and zero engagement' with four UK tabloids, citing Meghan's poor treatment

•Although palace aides said everyone was stunned by the move, the friend said: 'Meghan said no one in the royal family should be surprised'

•'She said everyone knew exactly how Harry felt about the British tabloids and the changes he wanted made in order to protect his family.'

•Harry went to Prince Charles and the Queen 'constantly' about the press, but they 'wouldn't do anything', despite seeing 'how it was tearing him apart'

•They added: 'Meghan said Harry needed to take a stand for her, their son and his mother, Princess  Diana

•Meghan and Harry announced they were quitting their royal duties in January, relocating to Canada before moving to Los Angeles last month

She's been a freakin' drama queen from the very beginning ... I don't feel sorry for her in the least, she married into royalty only he wasn't high enough up on the food chain for her to get the recognition and notoriety she was hoping for.  She was hoping to make her "mark" on the Royal family and expected them to cater to her and change protocol because she and her mammy are black; that was obvious when she invited people like Oprah and others to the wedding and the music that was played.

Kate on the other hand is poised and exhibits gracefulness. She married into royalty with William being second in line to the throne.  They had children who bumped Harry out of position.  Markle should have scoped things out a little bit more before she dug her claws into Harry.

Her continual whining is very unbecoming and quite frankly, I'm sure the family misses Harry, but I think most breathed a sigh of relief when Missy Markle got up on her high horse and rode out of there.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to discover that lawyers connected to the Royal Family are already at work in the background,protecting his assets and updating their "divorce file" on the couple every day. After all,we ain't talking about a mere few millions.

BTW,for those of you who have never seen  the show "Suits" she works on,I can tell you she is a damn good actress,and is already worth a few millions all on her own. Then she had the "retirement baby",so there is no chance at all of her ever going hungry or homeless.

She looks adorable and resembles the Queen.  It looks like she has a tad of mischievousness to her.

I dunno about "sweet",but take a look at what you see in those eyes. I see determination. She is NOT going to be anyone to be trifled with when she is a woman.

@Texas Yellow Rose

In case you don't know,her grandmother that is now the Queen was actually an enlisted ambulance driver during the Blitz in WW-2. Look around on the web and you can see photos of her posing in uniform in front of the ambulance she drove.

I kinda doubt any NCO's or officers did any screaming at her,or demanding she drop for pushups,though. Talk about epic bad career moves!

EXCLUSIVE: 'After the camera stops, she's not the most friendly.' Meghan Markle had strict rules not to shoot her funky FEET, videographer reveals and was already called a 'princess' for her 'diva' behavior
Daily Mail/UK, May 5, 2020

•Meghan Markle was called 'princess' because of her 'difficult' and 'demanding' behavior on set, an industry videographer who worked closely with her revealed

•'She was very high maintenance and rude,' the videographer explained exclusively to DailyMail.com

•According to the pro cameraman, Meghan would bring a large entourage with her on set and laid down a strict set of rules – including not to shoot her feet

•He said: 'It was like something out of Mean Girls. [Her team] were a clique, looking at other people and laughing and having fun among themselves'

•He added: 'The girl was really easy to shoot. Once you say ''action'', she knows how to do her job. But after the camera stops, she's not the most friendly person'

•Saying he wouldn't work with her again, he said: 'I wasn't impressed with her and I'm surprised she charmed the guy. She came across as insecure and spoiled'

•DailyMail.com has also uncovered several photos of Meghan from a professional photo shoot in New York for a now defunct fashion and beauty website

Americans mourn ’emasculation’ of Prince Harry after report Meghan made him sell his guns
Americans mourn ’emasculation’ of Prince Harry after report Meghan made him sell his guns
May 7, 2020

The emasculation of Prince Harry appears to be complete because his wife, actress Meghan Markle, has reportedly convinced him to quit hunting and sell off his handmade rifles.

According to a report in The Sun, the weaponry sold privately to another hunter was worth about $60,000 in U.S. dollars, and that “Meghan is opposed to hunting and pals hinted the Duke of Sussex would give up to appease her…Last week conservationist Dr Jane Goodall said she expected Harry to turn his back on bloodsports.”

Apparently the transaction occurred five months ago, but is just surfacing in the media. Harry, a U.K. army veteran, was reportedly a lifelong avid hunter before he met Meghan. He even went hunting for wild boar in Germany in December 2017 during the time of his engagement to the former Suits star and Deal or No Deal suitcase girl.

Harry seems all-in on feminist Meghan Markle’s woke agenda, which includes flying around the world to virtue-signal about global warming.

Prince Harry finds himself surrounded by 'Team Meghan' at the couple's £14.5million LA villa

    New York gossip column Page Six suggested the family were ‘house guests’, rather than renting the empty mansion from actor and comedian Tyler Perry
    Meghan is now surrounded by her long-term friends though Harry's friends back in England have told how he misses his his old Army comrades
    Conservation campaigner Jane Goodall said she had spoken to Harry last month and revealed he was finding his new life somewhat difficult

I don't think he,or anyone else,is THAT tough. I am picking 2021.

Even then it will only take that long because they will need to settle on a number large enough for a "Royal Family bail-out" for wannabe Princess Meagan,and a guaranteed monthly check so she can hire babysitters for the baby prince. No way in HELL is she giving up THAT asset!

WHEN are WE going to hold the men responsible for their part in allowing crap like this to happen?

NONE of this "couple crap" happens in a vacuum. If you allow yourself to become a "speed bump" in an emotional/romantic relationship,own up to it so you can keep it from happening again in the future.

Either that,or wear it like you earned it.

In other words,men,even Princes,"Man the bleep UP!"

    Meghan Markle wants the upcoming biography on her and Prince Harry's life to be released sooner rather than later, DailyMail.com can reveal
    The upcoming book titled Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family is set to be released worldwide online on August 11
    A friend said: 'She said the book will finally set the record straight and show the world why they were left with no other choice than to leave the royal life'
    DailyMail.com revealed last week Tyler Perry sent his $150M private plane to pick up the couple from Canada to bring them to his $18M Beverly Hills home
    But despite her high-flying lifestyle, Meghan 'wants to shatter this image of being a demanding diva on her quest for fame and power,' the insider said
    They added: 'Meghan seems to think that readers will finally understand the monumental anguish and turmoil she had to endure with a stiff upper lip'
    The friend also revealed Meghan 'had plenty to say about what went into the book, much more than the public is being led to believe'

A book to frighten the life out of the Royal Family: Meghan Markle kept a DIARY of her time in the UK, friend claims and could form a chronicle of her journey from aspiring actress to disgruntled duchess
By Sebastian Shakespeare for the Daily Mail
Published: 17:25 EDT, 13 May 2020 | Updated: 02:15 EDT, 14 May 2020

This summer sees the publication of Finding Freedom, the book hyped as going ‘beyond the headlines’ to reveal ‘unknown details’ of Prince Harry and Meghan’s life together.

But will that satisfy Meghan who, famously, chose to include three quills on her personal coat of arms, representing ‘communication and the power of words’?

For I can disclose that, according to one of the Duchess’s friends, Meghan — guest-editor of British Vogue in 2018 — kept a diary during her time in the UK. ...

Have Harry and Meghan cost us £44million? Forensic audit shows the colossal taxpayer bill left by the jet-setting eco warriors after they turned their backs on Britain just two years on from their lavish wedding

    The £2.4million spent on Frogmore Cottage may just be the tip of the iceberg
    Despite no longer working for 'The Firm' the couple may continue to rack up bills
     Former Minister Norman Baker makes a conservative guess of £44million

Just two years ago this week, we were treated to the wedding of the decade.

Millions around the world tuned in as the bells rang out for Harry and Meghan, the modern face of the Royal Family.

Today, the vintage champagne has gone flat, the bells have long stopped ringing, and the couple have turned their backs on Britain, opting to live among the shallow royalty of Hollywood rather than the real thing.

The Sussexes' long goodbye has cost the House of Windsor much in damaged reputation.

But that is nothing compared to the financial cost to the British public.

Life’s a riot with Meghan Markle
Why send in the troops when you can send in the clowns?
Spectator USA, Jun 4, 2020, Dominic Green

(https://3h7pwd17k2h42n17eg2j7vdq-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/meghanmarkleblm.jpg)

Americans stopped fighting in the streets on Thursday morning as the balm of Meghan Markle’s platitudes washed over us like a healing draught of tear gas. Why send in the troops when you can send in the clowns?

The Duchess of Malibu has released a video of her graduation address to the seniors of Immaculate Heart High School, the private Los Angeles school whose teachers bear at least some of the responsibility for launching the woke royal upon the gas-guzzling, meat-eating, racist public. The video is, as Markle says of the George Floyd riots, ‘absolutely devastating’.

It’s a vintage performance: the dress-down ponytail and Diana-like white shirt, the Diana-like rolling of the spontaneously moistened eyes, the Diana-like repetition of the clichés of the day as if she is thinking of them for the first time, the long pauses where she is overwhelmed, speechless but still profoundly moved by her own compassion in a sensitivity that could only be called Diana-like, or Diana-lite.

It is impossible not to be impressed by the conviction with which the millionaire wife of a ginger prince faces the pervasive hierarchies of white supremacy. Only a racist cop would refuse to take a knee, and perhaps a Sussex Royal tea towel, when hearing Meghan’s tremulous account of witnessing the Rodney King riots as an 11-year-old. The bit where she quaveringly recalls seeing ‘men in the back of a van, just holding guns and rifles’ must have been especially upsetting for her.

Prince Andrew demands US 'olive branch' before he will speak over request to question him about Jeffrey Epstein
Daily Mail/UK, Jun 13, 2020

Prince Andrew will refuse to deal further with the US Department of Justice over its request to question him about paedophile Jeffrey Epstein until he is offered an ‘olive branch’.

A war of words broke out last week after the US authorities wrote to the Home Office to ask formally to interview the Duke of York about his relationship with the disgraced American financier.

The Duke said he had already offered his help as a witness and accused US prosecutors of breaking confidentially rules and issuing ‘complete lies’.

(https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/06/14/00/29579744-8418351-image-a-13_1592091034237.jpg)

Last night, in a new furious salvo, a source close to the Duke of York told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Until there’s an olive branch from the Department of Justice [DoJ] and an attempt to establish trust, we can’t deal with them.

‘The DoJ has been painting an entirely inaccurate picture and this third time was enough. Three strikes and you’re out. There have been three provable breaches in the DoJ’s own rules [in talking about cases] while the Duke has played a straight bat out of respect for the rules and the process.

‘There is no way the Duke’s lawyers can recommend an engagement with the DoJ when they’re breaking the rules. They need to do something to start rebuilding trust.’

@Right_in_Virginia

Sounds to me like he,as a foreign national not under our judicial or legal system,never mind a family member of a Royal Government,has that right as well as that obligation.

Since our alleged Justice Department doesn't have the authority to require him to do a single damn thing,AND they couldn't even arrest him if they caught him sitting on their steps,they should be grateful he has agreed to speak with them at all.

If FACT,they are freaking idiots for not kissing his ass to get his testimony about the things he has seen or heard of Americans doing while with Epstein. It almost makes me think they might be trying to piss him off to the point where he refuses to say anything.

    Princess Beatrice has tied the knot with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in secret ceremony at Windsor Castle
    Service was held at Royal Chapel of All Saints, in the grounds of home of Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park
    The Queen, 94, and Prince Philip, 99, were both in attendance and appeared in excellent spirits as they left
    Queen later told Captain Sir Tom Moore, who was knighted at Windsor Castle, that it had been 'very nice'
    Guest list has not been made public but church weddings are only allowed a maximum of 30 people in total
    Edo and Beatrice were due to wed at St James's Palace on 29 May but plans were postponed due to Covid

The Queen shared her delight at Princess Beatrice's surprise secret wedding to Italian property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, saying it was a 'very nice' occasion.

Proud grandparents the Queen, 94, and the Duke of Edinburgh, 99, were among the roughly 20 guests who watched the couple exchange vows at 11am this morning at the Royal Chapel of All Saints, in the grounds of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's home of Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Park.

Beatrice, 31, and Edo, were due to tie the knot at the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace, in London, on 29 May. But their ceremony was postponed due to Covid-19 and no new date was given by the palace at the time.

Instead the couple chose to have an intimate ceremony attended by just 'close family', according to a statement released this afternoon by Buckingham Palace. The bride's parents, Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York as well as her sister Princess Eugenie, 30, are thought to have been included. On marriage Beatrice becomes a stepmother to Edo's son Christopher, known as Wolfie, who is also thought to have attended.

Her Majesty famously wore the dress to attend the Lawrence of Arabia premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square in 1962.

I don't know.  I know that her father attended the wedding but because of all the Epstein controversy no pictures of them together were taken (or at least published).  Perhaps he walked her down the aisle??  I tried to look it up and didn't find an article giving that information.

Prince Harry’s popularity plummets and many Brits see him as liability for monarchy, poll finds

Quote

PRINCE Harry’s popularity has plummeted — and many people now see him as a liability for the monarchy.

The number who think he is an asset to the nation has more than halved in the past eight years, from 75 per cent to 35 per cent.

Least popular royal is Prince Andrew, with 80 per cent branding him a liability and only four per cent believing he has something to offer.

The Queen is still by far the favourite, with 81 per cent saying she is an asset, followed by William and Kate and Prince Charles.

But the poll shows the alarming rate at which Harry’s appeal has dived.

Prince Andrew Gave a Speech at Princess Beatrice's 'Low-Key' Wedding Reception

Princess Beatrice’s father Prince Andrew played an important role behind the scenes on her wedding day. The Duke of York, 60, walked his daughter down the aisle when she secretly wed Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in an intimate ceremony on Friday at All Saint's Chapel in Windsor Great Park.

Following the ceremony, the bride, 31, and groom, 36, kicked off the celebrations with an outdoor party attended by around 30 people on the grounds of Royal Lodge, the shared home of Beatrice’s parents, Andrew and Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson, who divorced in 1996.

Revealed: Queen scolded Prince Harry for using bad language towards her closest aide during a row over Meghan's Royal Wedding tiara fitting

    Prince Harry flew into rage when Queen's aide couldn't meet Meghan's demand
    Meghan wanted to try on tiara that the couple had chosen for their wedding
    Harry is understood to have used offensive language about Queen's confidante
    The Queen was alerted to his outburst and put Harry 'firmly in his place'

By Emily Andrews Royal Editor For The Mail On Sunday

Published: 17:00 EDT, 1 August 2020 | Updated: 17:03 EDT, 1 August 2020

The Queen gave Prince Harry a dressing down for using offensive language about her closest aide, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The scolding came after Harry, 35, flew into a rage when the Queen's dresser and confidante Angela Kelly was unable to meet Meghan's sudden demand to visit Buckingham Palace with her hairdresser to try on a tiara that the couple had chosen for their wedding.

When it was pointed out that protocol dictates an appointment must be made to access the Queen's jewels, Harry is understood to have used offensive language about Ms Kelly as he heaped pressure on courtiers to persuade her to travel to London and unlock the cupboard where the tiara is kept.

•The Queen, 94, and Prince Philip, 99, arrived in Scotland yesterday for the start of their summer holiday
•The royal couple boarded a private plane to Aberdeenshire and were taken by car to the Balmoral estate 
•The Queen changed en route, donning a favourite gold stag brooch and wearing a headscarf

Incredible!  Obviously leaving the Royal Family hasn't had much of a negative financial impact on them!  I'd say Meghan finally has her wishes; she is living like royalty without being under the rules and domination of the Royal Family.  I'm sure her momma will be moving in with them.  Harry needs to open his eyes -- home is in trust that share's a mailing address with Markle's business manager. 

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Buy $14.7 Million Montecito Compound

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have gone exceptionally grand with their California starter house, purchasing a $14.65 million estate in the heart of posh Montecito, the seaside Santa Barbara County enclave that is famously home to a slew of Hollywood heavyweights.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ names do not appear on grant deeds related to the property — records show the estate quietly sold in mid-June to a mysterious trust with a deliberately opaque name, though the trust happens to share a mailing address with the offices of Meghan Markle’s longtime Hollywood business manager.

Public documents also reveal the buyers secured a $9.5 million mortgage to acquire the 7.4-acre compound, which is securely tucked away on a private, gated street. Despite the unquestionably hefty pricetag, it could be argued Meghan and Harry scored the property at a discount of sorts — the seller, low-profile Russian businessman Sergey Grishin, acquired the estate in 2009 for $25.3 million and had attempted to sell it many times over the past decade before finally accepting a $10 million-plus financial loss.

Built in 2003, the Mediterranean-style main house includes a trove of beige and off-white decor, plus a library, gym, separate wet and dry saunas, an elevator, arcade, game room and home theater. There’s also a detached guesthouse with two bedrooms and bathrooms; altogether, the estate boasts nearly 19,000 square feet of living space with a total of 9 bedrooms and a whopping 16 bathrooms.

Dated listings note that the property additionally offers a “tea house,” a “children’s cottage,” and exceptionally beautiful manicured grounds that boast tiered rose gardens, century-old olive trees, and tall Italian cypress trees that likely cost a small fortune to maintain. A full-size tennis court, lap-lane swimming pool, and a notably elaborate built-in children’s playset are among the numerous other outdoor amenities.............

The couple are said to be "very pleased".

A post from the Royal Family's account on Twitter confirmed the news and added the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are "delighted".

And Eugenie, who is 10th in line to the throne, posted a photo of two tiny, furry slippers on her Instagram, teasing: "Jack and I are so excited for early 2021."

The baby will be a ninth great-grandchild for the Queen, following the arrival of her eighth - the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.

Woke Royals’ U.S. Election Interference
‘Violation’ of Megxit Deal: Claim
Breitbart Politics, by Simon Kent Original Article

Posted by Imright — 9/27/2020 5:57:37 AM

The decision by Los Angeles-based Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to wade into the upcoming U.S. election by offering voting advice was a “violation” of their “Megxit” deal with the Queen and could further jeopardise their links to the monarchy, it was claimed Sunday by senior royal aides.According to the Times newspaper, courtiers have been canvassing how the royal household could separate itself further from the pair.The distance is required after the couple called on voters in America to “reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity”

Privacy-obsessed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'have agreed to star in fly-on-the-wall Netflix reality series with cameras following them for three months'
Daily Mail/UK, Sep 27, 2020

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have agreed to star in a fly-on-the-wall Netflix reality series with cameras following them for three months.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are hoping to 'give people a glimpse into their lives and see all the charity work they do', according to a source.

It comes after the royal couple signed a £112million Netflix deal to make TV series, films and children's shows for the streaming service.

Harry and Meghan will be followed for three months but it is not clear whether cameras will be allowed into their home in Montecito, California.

A source told The Sun: 'They may have had all these lofty ideas about producing epics highlighting environmental causes and the poverty gap, but Netflix obviously want their pound of flesh.

'It will all be very tasteful, and not Katie Price and Peter Andre-style reality TV, but they want to give people a glimpse into their lives and see all the charity work they do.'

According to the source, much of the series will be about their philanthropic work rather than what they get up to behind closed doors.

Prince Harry heads home for tough talk with Queen

Prince Harry is finally flying across the pond to visit his grandmother after months in the US, but will wife Meghan Markle be with him? And will Queen Elizabeth strip his titles — or his visa — after his biting comments on the Biden-Trump race?

Questions are swirling around Buckingham Palace once again after staffers received orders to get the royal couple’s former home, Frogmore Cottage, ready for a visit soon from Harry, The Daily Mail reported.

No mention, though, was made whether Markle is coming along, and that has tongues wagging — as does the purpose of the visit, which insiders speculate will be a tough conversation between the 94-year-old Queen and her grandson about his call on American voters to “reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity” and the fallout from what one GOP congressman described as foreign election meddling.

“Harry and Meghan have burnt some significant bridges that may be beyond repair,” royal biographer Penny Junor told The Mirror. “Right now, that doesn’t seem to bother them. And I can’t see Meghan ever wanting a way back.”

Congressman Demands Harry and Meghan Be Stripped of Royal Titles for Interfering in U.S. Election

Quote
Republican Congressman Jason Smith has written to the British government, demanding that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle be stripped of their royal titles, claiming that the couple is using their royal status to interfere in the election against President Trump.

The Missouri lawmaker accused the royal couple of trying to use their titles to campaign against President Donald Trump’s campaign, violating the tradition of the British Royal Family to abstain from interfering in political matters.

In a letter addressed to British Ambassador to the United States, Karen Pierce, Congressman Smith wrote: “As you know, the British Royal Family has long observed a policy of strict neutrality in regard to political matters. I am therefore concerned by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent comments regarding the United States Presidential Election, especially given international conversations surrounding foreign interference in our elections and the Duke’s status as a guest of the United States.”

Yeah,but to be realistic,we have all been in that position at one time or another. Most of us manage to work our way though it.
Most of us don't have the benefit of a royal upbringing (with the warnings inherent in that and tradition) that he had, either.

What makes that congresscritter think HE has the right to get involved in British politics?

He's just grandstanding. He has about as much influence with the British Royal Family as I do,which is none at all.
He can express his personal concern all he wants, but to try to dictate to the royal family of another country how to handle their affairs?

Oh, I'd bet "We" are not amused.

The Queen published her Birthday Honours list today.

Normally it would be in June but it was pushed back because of Coronavirus.

I haven’t really looked at it, but Jeff Lynne from ELO got an OBE.

I’m happy about that. Always liked that band.

Harry 'desperately unhappy' in marriage to Meghan and 'hooked by a political activist:' royal expert
Author Hugo Vickers says the duke is ‘spouting all this rubbish which comes from’ the duchess
KNEWZ.COM|Charlotte Lee
UPDATED  yesterday



A royal biographer has come forward with sensational claims about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s relationship, saying the Duke is “deeply unhappy” in his marriage to his political activist wife.

As The Sun reports, royal historian Hugo Vickers unleashed damning criticism of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex while speaking at the digital Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival this week.

“He, no doubt, thought he had found himself a very exotic and glamorous wife out of the norm. Actresses can be very beguiling,” Vickers said of the 36-year-old prince.

“Unfortunately, he finds himself now living in California, away from his family, friends, his work, and the Army, and all the things he had known.” ...

Well,in one respect it wasn't his fault that he got "whupped". Even though he had no doubt bagged countless babes,he had never been exposed to a professional actress. I keep seeing jibs saying she was a "minor actress" but that signifies nothing but the roles she had been able to sign on to that helped her career,and Suits was the biggest one on her pedigree. Which itself was nothing to shake a stick at because they are a BIG hit and everybody on it were first rate actors and actresses. Including her.

So here comes Harry,looking to poke a bit of fun with this gorgeous actress,and she turned her entire focus on him in a (successful) effort to bag a senior royal and further her career. When it worked,she decided to make it a permanent thing because even though Hollywood is populated by self-styled "citizens of the wurld" who know more than the rest of us and who detest Royalty,deep down they WANT to be royalty.

No matter what happens with her marriage,her career is set now. She will eventually agree to work maybe one major film a year in the future,and have top billing,which she craves more than money.

Harry is now irrelevant. He can come or go. It makes no difference. Not even to him. He is toast in the Royal Family. He will be accepted back,but he will never be advanced as anything but a hanger-on from this point forward. Bad judgement does not go unnoted or unpunished.

Chilling find shows how Henry VIII planned every detail of Boleyn beheading

Archives discovery shows the calculated nature of the execution and reinforces the image of the king as a ‘pathological monster’




Quote

It is a Tudor warrant book, one of many in the National Archives, filled with bureaucratic minutiae relating to 16th-century crimes. But this one has an extraordinary passage, overlooked until now, which bears instructions from Henry VIII explaining precisely how he wanted his second wife, Anne Boleyn, to be executed.

In this document, the king stipulated that, although his queen had been “adjudged to death… by burning of fire… or decapitation”, he had been “moved by pity” to spare her the more painful death of being “burned by fire”. But he continued: “We, however, command that… the head of the same Anne shall be… cut off.”

Tracy Borman, a leading Tudor historian, described the warrant book as an astonishing discovery, reinforcing the image of Henry VIII as a “pathological monster”. She told the Observer: “As a previously unknown document about one of the most famous events in history, it really is golddust, one of the most exciting finds in recent years. What it shows is Henry’s premeditated, calculating manner. He knows exactly how and where he wants it to happen.” The instructions laid out by Henry are for Sir William Kingston, constable of the Tower, detailing how the king would rid himself of the “late queen of England, lately our wife, lately attainted and convicted of high treason”.

Queen Elizabeth will pass throne to Charles next year: royal biographer

Queen Elizabeth will hand the throne to Prince Charles when she turns 95 next year, the royal biographer claims.

“I still firmly believe when the Queen becomes 95, that she will step down,” Robert Jobson told a program on True Royalty TV, the Daily Mail reported.

Newsweek royal reporter Jack Royston agreed: “I think she won’t want to, but realistically she will get to a point where she has handed over everything to Charles and then how do you look your son in the eye and tell him he is not going to be king?”

Pippa Middleton is “thrilled” to be pregnant with her second child, Page Six is told.

The younger sister of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, already has a 2-year-old son named Arthur with husband James Matthews.

The new arrival will be another cousin for Kate’s three children with husband Prince William — Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and 2-year-old Prince Louis.

A source close to the family told us, “Pippa and James are thrilled, it’s fantastic news amid a difficult year. The entire family is delighted.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are celebrating their first Christmas in the United States with their son Archie, 1.

This is the second time that Harry has celebrated the holiday away from his family in England. Last year, the couple spent Christmas in Canada.

According to People, Meghan and Harry are spending Christmas at their home in Montecito, Calif.

"It's Harry's second Christmas away from England, and Meghan wants to make sure it's special for everyone," a source told the magazine. "They are creating their own traditions at their new home."


Just a few days before the Christmas holiday, the royal duo's Christmas card was shared on social media by Mayhew, an animal welfare charity.

The picture on the card features Markle, 39, Harry, 36, Archie and their two pups sitting in front of a white and blue playhouse outdoors.

"Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year," reads the card above the illustration.

This won't happen until she has at least ONE major motion picture in production with her as the female lead,and contracts to star in more in the future.

Once that happens,Harry is history. She will keep the kids in order to keep the Royal Money flowing in as well as the free bodyguards and other perks,and use them and their appearances to get more from the Royal Family.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry expecting second child
By John Bowden - 02/14/21 04:14 PM EST

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are expecting their second child together, the couple announced Sunday.

A spokesperson for the couple, who stepped down from their royal duties last year, told the Associated Press: "We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.”

The two live in California now and in the fall founded Archewell, Inc., a nonprofit venture focused on philanthropic efforts and creative media ventures. The effort is named after Archie, their first child, who was born in 2019.

Markle revealed in November of last year that she had suffered a miscarriage in July, writing about the experience in a New York times op-ed.

On Thursday the couple won a lawsuit against the British tabloid The Mail, with a judge finding that the publication had invaded Markle's privacy by publishing portions of a letter written by Markle to her estranged father.

“After two long years of pursuing litigation, I am grateful to the courts for holding Associated Newspapers and The Mail on Sunday to account for their illegal and dehumanizing practices,” she said in a statement following the ruling.

    Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared the announcement by posting a candid black and white image
    The happy news comes just months after Meghan, 39, revealed that she lost her second child to a miscarriage

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won't return to Royal Family - Queen strips titles

Quote


Meghan and Prince Harry have effectively put an end to speculation about their future role in the Royal Family by announcing to the Queen they have no intention to return to royal duties at the end of the Megxit 12-month review period. As a result, the Queen took the decision to sever the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's links to their royal and military patronages. 

A statement issued by Buckingham Palace today read: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not be returning as working members of The Royal Family.

"Following conversations with The Duke, The Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of The Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service.

"The honorary military appointments and Royal patronages held by The Duke and Duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of The Royal Family."

Prince Harry ‘isolating to prepare for UK visit’ as Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, taken to hospital

Prince Harry is reportedly isolating in the US in preparation for an emergency trip to see his ailing grandfather Prince Philip.

Harry is said to be preparing to fly to the UK in a bid to see his 99-year-old grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, who is being treated for a mystery illness in hospital.

British tabloid The Mirror reports Harry is self-isolating in his Californian mansion so he can fly to Britain at a moment’s notice if his condition worsens. ...

@mountaineer

Well,to be fair,there is ONE attention whore in the family,and it ain't Harry. Somehow or another,she managed to "whup him" and now keeps his testicles in a box and only allows him access if he has been a good boy.

Makes no sense to me. You KNOW that growing up as a Prince in the English Royal Family in England meant he had females trying to jump his bones before he even got out of diapers. Plus he is a good-looking guy in good physical condition. There is no way in HELL he had trouble getting laid.

Yeah,she IS pretty and smart,but NOBODY is THAT pretty and smart. I can only guess that he has a "dark meat kink",but she isn't even very dark. Could pass for a Snow Bunny if she wanted,with the right makeup.

Like the chorus of a 50's rock and roll song stated,"Love is Strange". It is a disease we are all susceptible to,and it strikes without warning. Kinda like cancer,but a longer,more slow-motion death.

I understand that royal babies are given several names, and they choose one of them when they become king or queen. I don’t know if this was always the case, but the Queen’s dad Albert, became George VI. So this may be a newish thing, about 100 years old.

Prince Charles, who as Prince of Wales and second in line, has four names. Charles Philip Arthur George.


People assume incorrectly, if he should become king, he will be King Charles III. That’s not the case. He’s publicly stated he would take the name King George  VII.

King Charles the first was beheaded by Oliver Cromwell, which I think leaves a bad taste for future Charles’. And Charles the Second was very popular with his people, but I still think it must have been horrible to grow up knowing daddy had his head chopped off.

(Personally I think he should go with Arthur, that would be very, very cool)

 ***cool cat***

I also think he wants to be George to honor his grandfather.

Prince William Angered by Meghan and Harry’s ‘Insulting, Disrespectful, and Petulant’ Attitude to Queen

Jack Montgomery21 Feb 2021138
2:37

Prince William is said to be “shocked” and saddened by the “insulting, disrespectful, and petulant” attitude of brother Harry and his wife Meghan to their grandmother, the Queen, following ‘Megxit’.

William, second in line to the throne after the brothers’ father, 72-year-old Prince Charles, was reported to be “really sad and genuinely shocked” by the reaction of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, to the Queen announcing their royal patronages and Harry’s honorary military titles would be withdrawn.

This decision came as a result of the couple’s decision to abandon their public duties as “working royals” in favour of pursuing money-making ventures and woke activism, as well as flirting with U.S. politics.

“The Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of the Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service,” a statement from Buckingham Palace had confirmed.

“While all are saddened by their decision, the Duke and Duchess remain much-loved members of the family.”

During tough times, dogs save the Queen: report


Quote

Queen Elizabeth II has acquired two new corgi puppies after the last of her succession of the dogs died several years ago, The Sun reported on Friday.

The tabloid said the lively pups -- the latest in a long line of dogs to keep the 94-year-old company -- were bringing joy as the royal family battles a series of crises.

Her 99-year-old husband, Prince Philip, has just had a heart operation, while her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have given a tell-all interview to US television after moving to California.

The dogs have reportedly been living with the queen for several weeks at Windsor Castle, west of London, where she has been self-isolating from the coronavirus pandemic for nearly a year.

CBS reportedly paid $7M for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle interview

CBS reportedly paid more than $7 million for the rights to air Oprah Winfrey’s highly anticipated tell-all interview with Prince Harry and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.

The two-hour interview, set to air at 8 p.m. Sunday, cost the network a pretty penny — likely somewhere between $7 million and $9 million, the Wall Street Journal reported.

CBS bought the lucrative rights — the network is charging $325,000 for every 30 seconds of commercial time — from Winfrey’s Harpo Productions, and can also license the interview in international markets.

A Royal Conflict: Buckingham Palace vs. Hollywood
By Michael Curtis

It is an ironic twist of history that two American women should have been the cause of political crises in Britain and led to concern that they might affect the powers and even the very existence of the monarchy. In the 1930s, the Prince of Wales, to become Edward VIII, fell in love with Wallis Simpson while she was still married to someone else. In his chatty diaries, Henry “Chips” Channon wrote on December 5, 1936 that “the King, like the poor Tsar and Louis XVI will listen to no advice and is running straight to his doom.”

Eighty years later, another playful prince, Harry, fell in love with Meghan Markle, who is determined, as she sees it, to “keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and what is good.” Though her main complaint has been of lack of support from the Royal Family, lack of respect, and even of some “plotting” her downfall, the Duchess of Sussex has benefited from a lavish lifestyle and public funding including a wedding that cost $42 million in 2018.       

There is of course no exact comparison between the two women, one a socialite and the other a biracial, moderately successful actress. Both left Britain for different reason -- the Duchess of Windsor for Canada and Europe, and the Duchess of Sussex for Canada and California. Yet despite the differences, the fear is that Sussex may be as destructive as Windsor.

I wouldn't watch Orca on tv if she promised to commit suicide on-air.

I'd wait until I could view it for free.

Only in America can a fat woman with the IQ of a snail whose whole career is based on white people from the control room telling her what to say,complain about racism and white privilege holding her back,while doing stuff like funding a special school for black girls in Africa (racism,anyone?), buying a freaking handbag for 50 THOUSAND bucks while on vacation in London.

She is African,like I am Greek because my father was Greek,or Scots/Irish like the rest of my known ancestors.

Royal staff 'nicknamed Prince Harry 'the Hostage' before wedding' and Meghan Markle 'wanted drama from the very beginning', insiders claim

Royal staff 'nicknamed Prince Harry 'the Hostage' before his wedding' to Meghan Markle, insiders have claimed.

Sources also said the Duchess of Sussex was 'constantly looking' for drama despite the best efforts of Palace workers in the build up to the 2018 ceremony.

The fallout spiralled out of control when the Duke of Sussex reportedly said: 'What Meghan wants, Meghan gets'.


Other claims the insiders made include:

    Meghan did not want to be the 'supporting act' to Prince William and Kate Middleton, despite the Royal pecking order;
    Aides were supportive of the couple and went to 'great lengths to accommodate their needs' despite contrary claims;
    On a visit to Scotland, the Palace PR team 'body blocked' the Duchess's ex-adviser Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne outside a cafe in Edinburgh because Meghan apparently did not want to make eye contact with her;
    The couple were said to have bombarded workers with emails on weekends, holidays and at night.

 There's also been some kind of scandal that Markle has been accused of 'bullying'.  I can see her as a complete biotch.  I have no desire to watch here on Oprah.  She's made a complete fool out of Harry and she has disgraced the Royal Family.  She wanted people to bow before her because she married into royalty and found out very quickly that Harry was too far down the line for them to be 'honored' and I think she is extremely jealous of Kate and William and their children who are heirs to the "throne" long before Harry or Archie would even come close to being line line.

She's nothing more than a golddigger that tried to play the race card.  It backfired!

 The cost was his entire birth family.  He traded them all in for Meghan, Archie, baby#2 and Meghan's family. Perhaps he's happy and could care less that he turned his back on his entire side of the family.  It happens.  Many family ties are destroyed by newlywed brides who want nothing to do with their husband's side of the family; they tend to turn their husbands against his family.  Sad, but it happens all the time.  I know first hand.

I feel for the royal family that has been divided, and also Archie and baby# 2; they'll never have the relationships with their grandparents, aunts, uncles,  cousins, etc.

 Harry has made that decision and he has to live with it.

Royal staff 'nicknamed Prince Harry 'the Hostage' before wedding' and Meghan Markle 'wanted drama from the very beginning', insiders claim
Daily Mail/UK, Mar 6, 2021

•Sources also said that the Duchess of Sussex was 'constantly looking' for drama
•This was 'despite best efforts of Palace workers in the build up to the ceremony'
•He was said to be livid as tiara she wanted was unavailable for sporadic hair cut
•Queen is said to have weighed in when he clashed with her closest aide over it

Asked why she was now speaking out, Meghan gave a long pause, before saying: 'Well, so many things. That we're on the other side of a lot of - a lot of life experience that's happened, and also that we have the ability to make our own choices in a way that I couldn't have said yes to you then.'

The first of two clips released on Monday saw Oprah ask Meghan: 'Were you silent or were you silenced?'. Oprah added: 'I just want to make it clear to everybody that there is no subject that is off limits'. Two further sections of that clip saw Oprah say the phrases 'almost unsurvivable' and 'sounds like there was a breaking point'.

That same clip also featured Harry saying: 'My biggest concern was history repeating itself' – and two further snippets of Oprah saying: 'You've said some pretty shocking things here', and 'Wait, hold, hold up, wait a minute.'

The second clip released on Monday saw Harry say: 'For me, I'm just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side, because I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for her (my mother Princess Diana) going through this process by herself all those years ago, because it's been unbelievably tough for the two of us. But at least we have each other.'

'I won’t be watching. I know Americans. I know Hollywood. I know what’s coming': CANDACE OWENS says she long predicted Harry and Meghan would end up in LA
Daily Mail/UK, Mar 6, 2021

Harry and Meghan had just moved out of Kensington Palace and into Frogmore Cottage when I first got together with my English husband. The Sussexes were very much in the headlines then, as now.

I turned to my fiance – as he then was – in a London cafe, and casually said: ‘Those two will wind up in Los Angeles. I give it three years.’

At the time he laughed off this hasty prognostication. How could I possibly know?

But he wasn’t laughing when, all-too-soon, it became clear that Harry and Meghan would be leaving their official duties and moving to North America in what would become known as Megxit. And he wasn’t laughing, either, when I correctly predicted that their stay in Canada was no more than a pit-stop on the journey to Los Angeles.

(https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/03/06/22/40128630-9334025-_B_list_actress_Meghan_in_a_photoshoot_for_Suits_as_Rachel_Zane-m-43_1615068332360.jpg)
‘B-list actress’: Meghan Markle pictured above in a photoshoot for Suits as Rachel Zane

I’m not saying that Meghan would explicitly ask Harry to move away from his family and friends. But she is certainly persuasive – enough, even, for him to believe the decision was entirely his.

Seriously? If that cesspool of inadequacy and tribute to stupidity is the "top American talk show", what is the worse one?

Has anyone ever watched a whole show and marveled at the stupidity on display? My GOD,Joy Behar is one of the co-hosts,and she is so stupid she got fired from a school-teacher job in NYC decades ago. Just how freaking stupid do you have to be to get fired from THAT job?

I will grant you that Whoopie Goldberg is the smartest one there by far,and she is probably smarter than the typical French Poodle,but that's setting the bar kinda low.

The spawn of McLunatic (I forgot her name. Fat fake blonde) is also pretty damn clueless. She would probably know it if somebody set her on fire if she were having a good day,but I'm not sure I would bet on it.

Can't remember or don't know who else is on there,but they are pretty freaking stoopid or they wouldn't be there.



Suddenly I am even more worried about the future of America.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle may lose royal titles over Oprah interview

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle risk losing their titles as Duke and Duchess of Sussex for breaking their Megxit deal with Sunday night’s Oprah TV tell-all, according to reports.

Royal courtiers met last week to discuss stripping the couple’s titles and tearing up the “Sandringham summit” agreement made a year ago involving their exit from life as senior royals, sources told The Times of London.

“I don’t think that after this interview, anything is off the table, to be honest,” one source in the royal household told the UK paper, referring to the potential stripping of the pair’s titles.

Such a move would be “a big step,” the source conceded — stressing that it highlights how “cheesed off” Queen Elizabeth II is over the “circus” around the Oprah Winfrey special airing on CBS at 8 p.m.

One source told the UK paper that Harry and Meghan are “playing with fire” with the “very high-stakes” interview.

Well,it seems like he is her bitch,and she is definitely an  attention whore,so expect more until her 15 minutes of fame wear out

She will then divorce him,have someone write a "tell all book" in her name,and try to sell it as a movie with her as the star. Once that ends,she will drop down to being a "professional celebrity" and start appearing on game shows and such as a "special guest star".

She won't be hurting for money after the divorce settlement,the book,and the movie rights,but she will be hurting for applause and attention.

Harry will be so shamed he will probably go into seclusion the rest of his life and avoid publicity.

He won't be the first or the last this has happened to. After all,how can you tell when a professional actor or actress is telling you the truth or playing a role?

Meghan Markle openly accuses the Royals of racism
By Andrea Widburg

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says.

After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah. Have I mentioned that I can’t stand Oprah either? I think it’s admirable how she’s become one of the richest women in the world. Nevertheless, I think her decades-long, hugely successful emphasis on emotions over reason is part of the problem with America today. The left feeds on people who cannot reason but, instead, filter everything through their closely scrutinized navels. It’s all feelings, no facts, and, as we’ve seen in the last year, it’s very dangerous.

As you can imagine, between being a busy person and having nothing but disdain for both Meghan and Oprah, I didn’t watch the interview. However, I could scarcely avoid the fact that Meghan’s big bombshell was her claim that the Royal family’s decision to deny baby Archie a royal title was due to racism:

    Meghan Markle has tearfully told Oprah Winfrey she was suicidal when she was five months pregnant and accused Kate Middleton of making her cry in today's bombshell interview before the couple informed tens of millions of people watching they are having a baby girl, revealed the deep rift with Prince Charles and accused the Royal Family of racism.

Read More

[snip]

Meghan also sensationally claimed that a relative of Harry asked him ‘how dark’ their unborn child would be with the Duchess claiming Archie being mixed-race was a 'problem' for the royals after Oprah asked her if they were worried their son was 'too brown'.

The former Suits star said she would not name the person because it would be ‘too damaging’ for them. But she confirmed that the duke was asked the question – ‘how dark his skin might be when he’s born’ – ‘by family’. Harry was also asked to identify the culprit but said he didn't feel 'comfortable' discussing it.

Meghan Markle’s interview was full of bull
NY Post, Mar 7, 2021, Maureen Callahan

Pity poor Meghan Markle, won’t you?

And do so as she drops the kind of bombshells — Prince Harry’s family is not just openly racist, they drove her to consider suicide while pregnant and denied her the help she begged for — that will destroy once and for all any chance Harry had of reconciling with the British royal family.

“I wasn’t planning to say anything shocking!” Megs told Oprah.

Please. As we all know, Meghan’s not that good an actress. Or a dissembler.

Whopper Number One, at the interview’s outset: Meghan knew nothing of the British royal family — nothing! She’s American, after all!

Here she was, living her life, starring on a basic cable legal drama, when she got sucked into the vortex of royal life. Castles, riches, titles, instant global fame, a team of servants and advisers — none of these mattered a whit to her

“All the grandeur attached to this stuff,” said Meghan, has never meant anything, not part of the attraction at all.

Says the woman who invited Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney to her wedding — A-listers she’d never even met.

Oh, and let’s not forget Buckingham Palace’s clapback this week, revealing that Meghan had been gifted blood diamonds by MBS after he authorized the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and wore them even though warned not to — a charge Meghan has not denied.

Whopper Number Two: She never so much as Googled Harry when they began dating. She also never so much as Googled herself or followed any of her media coverage because that too has never mattered to her — says the woman who posed for a Vanity Fair cover story before she and Harry were even engaged.

Hey, Harry - before dinner let's go outside barefoot and stand under a tree.

Um, okay, Meg. You're the boss. Hey, who's that person with all the cameras?

No one, dipwad. Just do what I say. Now put your %*$! arm around me while I block out your face.

Millionaires living in a mansion whine to sympathetic billionaire over how oppressed they are.

Unfreaking believable -- pathetic actually.

I heard a sound byte earlier, stating that Meghan was offended because one of the royals commented on how dark Archie was.

I have my doubts as to the comment.  I don't have doubts that Meghan played the race card in this time of BLM hoopla to gain attention and a whole lot of $$$.

I see her as nothing more than a racist money grubbing piece of trash.

I caught part of review on ABC this morning when I turned on my teebee for local news and weather. MY favorite part was Harry whining about having his allowance cut off by the Royal Family.

Here is a man around 40 years old whining because his grandma cut off his allowance!

AND,on top of that,he inherited several million bucks from his mother's estate after she died.

Has a trust fund worth several million dollars,lives for free in a multi-million dollar mansion,and whining at the "unfairness" of the Queen cutting off his allowance.

Meghan Markle was infamous in Hollywood for treating everyone as beneath her. Photogs, directors, coworkers. No one wanted to work with her. "She was one of the worst human beings I have truly ever been around, and I work in LA," an industry insider remarked.

Meghan and Harry's sensational claims fact-checked: How friend contradicted Meghan's claim she never Googled Harry, the truth about that secret wedding and whether Archie really should have been a prince
Daily Mail/UK, Mar 8, 2021

[...]

Harry and Meghan were actually secretly wed three days before the Windsor ceremony by the Archbishop of Canterbury

Meghan said: 'You know, three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that... We called the Archbishop and we just said, 'Look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world but we want our union between us.'

Fact check: Unlikely

Church of England marriages require at least two witnesses and the public must also have unrestricted access to the building during any marriage ceremony to allow for valid objections against the marriage.

At the time the couple were living in the grounds of Kensington Palace, and their residence is off limits to the public.

A couple who are already lawfully married cannot choose to re-marry each other, unless there is some doubt as to the validity of the earlier marriage.

Reverend David Green, Vicar of St Mary's, West Malling and the Rector of St Michael's, Offham, said it was impossible to have had two weddings, adding: 'I think the Archbishop needs to clarify what did or did not happen three days before.'

This means that one of the two ceremonies was more likely just an exchange of vows rather than a legally recognised wedding.

Archie has a birthright to be a prince

Meghan said: Idea of the first member of colour in this family, not being titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be... It's not their right to take it away'

Fact check: False

Archie did not have a birthright to be a prince, but could potentially become one when Charles accedes to the throne.

That William and Kate's children have the HRH title and are styled as prince and princesses - and Archie is not - stems from a ruling more than 100 years ago.

In 1917, King George V issued a written order that only royal offspring who are in the direct line of succession could be made a prince and receive HRH titles.

The Letters Patent read: '...the grandchildren of the sons of any such sovereign in the direct male line (save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of dukes of these our realms.'

Under the rules, only Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's eldest son Prince George - as a great-grandson of the monarch down the direct line of succession to the throne - was originally entitled to be a prince.

The Queen stepped in ahead of George's birth in 2013 to issue a Letters Patent to ensure all George's siblings - as the children of future monarch William - would have fitting titles, meaning they were extended to Charles and Louis.

Under the George V rules, Archie would be entitled to be an HRH or a prince when his grandfather Charles, the Prince of Wales, accedes to the throne. 

Archie wouldn't get 24/7 security because he wasn't a prince

Meghan said: In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time, so we (had) the conversation of he won't be given security, he's not going to be given a title.

Fact check: False

Being a prince or princess does not automatically mean royals have police protection.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's security is no longer paid for by the taxpayer.

Harry and Meghan no longer receive British police protection, and are understood to be paying for private security. 

Harry was financially cut off from the royals

Harry said: 'My family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us'

Fact check: They wanted to be financially independent

 When Harry and Meghan announced their intention to step back from being senior royals, they said they wanted to be 'financially independent'.

Before cutting ties, 95 per cent of their money came from Prince Charles's income from the Duchy of Cornwall, and 5 per cent from the taxpayer-funded Sovereign Grant.

Princes William and Harry received most of a £13million fortune left by their mother Princess Diana. Harry is also thought to have had millions left to him by the Queen mother.

The Would-Be-Princess Is Quite The Drama Queen
Quote
I take it the Meghan/Harry/Oprah grievance session was aired last night. No, I didn’t watch it, who in their right mind would?  I am certain that the Queen of celebrity interviews arranged a marvelously orchestrated session with her ex-royal subjects.

Oprah, I remind you, was invited to the H&M wedding even though she’d never met either of them at the time. That, my friend, is what’s known as long range strategic planning. ...

If you’re into celebrity dirt and Royal tell-alls the Oprah hour would have been must see TV. I’m glad I missed it, just reading about it is tedious.

    Asked how Buckingham Palace would react to “hearing you speak your truth today**?” Meghan is smugly triumphant.
Quote
    “I don’t know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there was an active role that ‘the Firm’ is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us.”

To which Harry chimed in with:
Quote
    “My biggest concern was history repeating itself,” Harry says, holding hands with Meghan as she gazes adoringly at him, clad in a $4,700 black Armani dress and patting her pregnant belly.

    “I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side because I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like for (Diana) going through this process by herself all those years ago.”
... **Note: “speaking your truth” in today’s parlance translates to “lie”

Utter poverty.  *****rollingeyes*****

The property taxes are probably more than most of us make in a year. #gobsmacked

No sympathy for Miss Meghan but sympathy for Harry and the children. Meghan saw Harry as easy pickings. I believe he was available and she sweeps in using the tricks in the book. She wants to be a princess, but the girl hasn’t done her homework.

Which is dumb dumb dumb in this day and age there are so many good biographies on royal princesses and duchesses she can read. Maybe she only reads scripts. Most of them are not happy and don’t end well. Ie:Princess Margaret. Or the daughters of George III

Several years later and it’s not a Disney story. I might buy she didn’t get along with her in-laws and they played favorites to Kate. Suck it up, fix it , go to therapy and figure out how to do it if you can’t.

But then things started to go bad.

Maybe therapy could have fixed it before it got truly bad, and maybe she could have been schooled in being a royal, like Pygmalion. I don’t know.

I just think that Harry will really miss his family and want back in, especially when he looses his grandparents. And the only family he will have left will be on his mother’s side,

Meghan and Harry interview: Support for Sussexes or Royal Family split along age lines, poll finds


Quote

The UK public is split along age and political lines over who they back in the rift between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, a poll has found.

Members of the public were asked by YouGov who they sympathised with more following the revelations that emerged in Harry and Meghan's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

On the whole 36% of people said they sympathised more with the Queen and the Royal Family, while 22% said they sympathised more with Harry and Meghan.

However, when the respondents are broken down into ages it shows 48% of 18 to 24-year-olds sympathised more with the Sussexes, while only 9% of over-65s sided with the couple.

The survey found 55% of over-65s sided with the Royal Family compared to 15% of 18 to 24-year-olds.

Piers Morgan Demolishes the Meghan Markle Interview With a Few Simple Points and Questions

Quote

    Here we had the Duke and Duchess of Privacy flinging out the filthy family laundry for the delectation of tens of millions of people all over the world, whilst simultaneously bleating about press intrusion.

    They moaned about the terrible pain of their royal titles but were also outraged their son Archie wasn’t allowed to be a Prince.

    They told of their constant trauma from nasty newspaper stories, but repeatedly insisted they never read any of them.

    They claimed they were forced to sign gazillion-dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify because Prince Charles cut off their allowance, despite Harry inheriting millions from his late mother Princess Diana and having his entire life bankrolled by the Royal Family.

    And so, it went nauseatingly on.

Church of England Reverend David Green reportedly called out Meghan Markle’s claim that she and Prince Harry secretly tied the knot ahead of their royal ceremony.

“You can’t get married twice,” tweeted Green, the Vicar of St Mary’s, West Malling and the Rector of St Michael’s, Offham in a since-deleted post, Fox News reported Monday.

“So what was the thing three days before?” he wrote, the outlet reported. “And if it was a marriage, what on earth are we doing ‘playing’ at prayer/holy matrimony for cameras.”

Prince Charles 'did NOT cut off Harry': Royal insider says future King feels 'let down' by son's Oprah claims after going 'out of his way to financially support' him and wife Meghan

    Harry said he struck lucrative deals as Charles was no longer bankrolling couple
    Royal insiders rejected this and said Charles feels 'let down' by his son's remarks
    As working royals, 95 per cent of their funding came from the Duchy of Cornwall


Allies of Prince Charles today pushed back at claims he 'cut off' Prince Harry's funding when he and Meghan stepped down as senior royals.

During the explosive Oprah interview, Harry explained he struck lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify as his father was no longer prepared to bankroll his lifestyle.

'My family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us,' he said.

Royal insiders rejected this narrative and said Charles feels 'let down' by his son's comments.

'The Prince of Wales went out of his way to make sure his son and daughter in law were financially supported,' a senior source told the Evening Standard.

Meghan Markle’s emotional reaction to Princess Diana’s death revealed
Express/UK, Oct 12, 2019

Meghan, who would later grow up to marry Diana’s son Prince Harry, had idolised the princess as a youngster. According to 2018 book ‘Meghan: A Hollywood Princess’, the sudden death of her personal hero was hard for Meghan for comprehend. Inspired by her role model, Meghan and her friend Suzy Ardakani had collected clothes and toys for less privileged children.

Suzy’s mother had even given her a copy of ‘Diana: Her True Story’, which remained on her bookshelf for years.

This meant when Diana suddenly died in a car crash in Paris, she could not understand how the tragedy could befall a “living icon”.

Royal biographer Andrew Morton wrote in his book: “She and her friends watched the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, in early September 1997, tears coursing down their cheeks at the poignant moment when the camera zoomed in on the royal coffin.

“Perched among the white flowers was an envelope with the one word ‘Mummy’ containing Prince Harry’s last note to his beloved mother.”

He added that she and her friend Suzy had an interesting way of coping with the news.

Mr Morton wrote: “After she heard about the tragedy she and her friend Suzy Ardakani had sat and watched old videos of the 1981 wedding between Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer.”

Meghan apparently looked up to Diana for both her style and her independent humanitarian mission.

A childhood friend Ninaki Priddy said: “She was always fascinated by the Royal Family.

“She wants to be Princess Diana 2.0.”

A Tale Old and New as Another Royal Wife Breaks Free
NY Times, Mar 8, 2021

A quarter-century after Princess Diana broke her silence about life among the British royals,
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, did the same.
Their stories were remarkably similar.

While the British tabloids like to cast Meghan in the villainous role of the Duchess of Windsor — the American divorcée who lured away their king in 1936 and lived with him in bitter exile, causing an irreparable family rift — Harry and Meghan seem determined to position her instead as a latter-day Diana, a woman mistreated by her in-laws, more sinned against than sinning.

Harry has often spoken with anguish and bitterness about what happened to Diana all those years ago when she was cast out of the royal family after her divorce from Prince Charles and later died in a car wreck in a Parisian underpass, the paparazzi in hot pursuit. He raised the subject again on Sunday, drawing parallels between the experiences of his mother and his wife and saying, of Diana, that he has “felt her presence through this whole process.”

It felt Shakespearean, the sense of history repeating itself through the immutable structure of a royal lineage and an ancient institution — while a prince spoke of breaking free from the old patterns and finding a new way forward.

Harry made the comparison explicit on Sunday when he referred to the “constant barrage” of criticism and racist attacks on his wife.

“What I was seeing was history repeating itself,” he said, though he described the treatment of Meghan as “far more dangerous” because of the ubiquity of social media and the corrosive element of racism.

Meghan’s discussion in the interview of her mental health struggles as a royal wife, of loneliness and desolation and thoughts of suicide, was reminiscent of Diana’s account of the bulimia and depression that consumed her during her own marriage. Both women said they had desperately sought help from the family, only to be ignored and rebuffed.

“When I’m talking about history repeating itself, I’m talking about my mother,” Harry said. “When you can see something happening in the same kind of way, anybody would ask for help.”

But just as with his mother, when Meghan pleaded for help, he said, none was forthcoming. Instead, the family dismissed her concerns and told her, essentially, to keep her head down.

The couple was repeatedly told: “This is how it is. This is just how it is,” Harry said.

There are many parallels between Meghan and Diana.

Like Diana, Meghan married into a family that did not understand her and believed she would conform, without complaint, to royal customs and protocol. As with Diana, when Meghan proved unable or unwilling to toe the family line, she said, the palace did nothing to dispel the emerging public narrative that she was demanding, petulant, entitled. And like Diana, Meghan found herself hounded by the tabloids, which accused her of constantly seeking attention while happily filling their pages with stories about her.

Prince Charles 'did NOT cut off Harry': Royal insider says future King feels 'let down' by son's Oprah claims after going 'out of his way to financially support' him and wife Meghan

    Harry said he struck lucrative deals as Charles was no longer bankrolling couple
    Royal insiders rejected this and said Charles feels 'let down' by his son's remarks
    As working royals, 95 per cent of their funding came from the Duchy of Cornwall


Allies of Prince Charles today pushed back at claims he 'cut off' Prince Harry's funding when he and Meghan stepped down as senior royals.

During the explosive Oprah interview, Harry explained he struck lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify as his father was no longer prepared to bankroll his lifestyle.

'My family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us,' he said.

Royal insiders rejected this narrative and said Charles feels 'let down' by his son's comments.

'The Prince of Wales went out of his way to make sure his son and daughter in law were financially supported,' a senior source told the Evening Standard. 

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9343111/Prince-Charles-did-NOT-cut-Harry-royal-insider-says.html

Missy Markle and Helpless Harry have me fuming.  Cut off funding and had to pay for his own security!  Cry me a freakin' river.

I read today that Markle was ticked because Archie was not given the title of 'Prince'.  That's it in a nutshell. She wanted her son to be acknowledge as royalty -- sorry  -- but William's children come even BEFORE Harry. That's how the monarchy has worked for centuries and she wants them to change it for her, because she's black!

If I were the Queen I strip them of their title and forbid them from receiving any financial backing.  If Diana left Harry money, let them live off of that.  It certainly doesn't look like they 're hurting for money.   Centuries have gone by and now we have a  prissy racist boich that feels she's entitled just because she managed to snag one within the royal family; only he's not anywhere close in line as she would have liked.

I think she is a total piece of crap; and that's being nice.

Harry is equally a hunk of crap for letting her get away with the race card.   Poor Harry.  He knows darn well the royal succession.

But alas she and her son were not granted the Princess and Prince status that she craved...

I remember when they first got engaged..I predicted she would get her hooks into Harry by getting pregnant right away..that way she then controlled him..Harry wanted a wife and kids...well he's got it now...at a cost of his family...

 Exactly.  She is sick and devious.  I think Harry's had mental issues due to the death of his mum and is also very jealous of William's place in the royal family.  She's twisted his already troubled mind.

P.S.  I'm glad that Duchess Kate is wearing Diana's sapphire ring ... and I look forward to her being Queen one day --- put that in your cornflakes Meghan and eat 'em.

@Gefn

Not really. Both of them seemed to be serious about the positions they had married into. Not really Dianna's fault she married a guy more interested in grandmothers than young women.

I once knew about Simpson,but have forgotten and it's not important enough to me to look up.

I do remember predicting that Megan was only marrying Harry to get her hooks into the Royal treasury,and use her marriage as a spring board to becoming a major Hollywood star. I also predicted she would divorce Harry as soon as she had a child by him and had the contract signed giving her star billing in the movie about their marriage.

A ho is a ho is a ho.

As for Harry,a suicide wouldn't surprise me. Seems like a nice enough buy before betting p-whipped,but now he is nothing more than her puppet,and is going to be hopelessly lost when she leaves him once he has served his purpose and she is an A-List star.

Hell,if nothing else works out for her,she can suddenly remember she is part black again,and get her goomba Orca to finance her movies.

Prince Charles Poses with Black Health Workers Amid Racism Claims


Quote

Prince Charles has Black friends, or at least Black people who'll talk to him -- that's the image the palace seems to be putting out on the heels of Prince Harry and Meghan's racism claims.

The official Clarence House Instagram account posted a number of photos Tuesday showing the Prince of Wales visiting a place called Jesus House, which just popped up in London as a new vaccination site under the country's National Health Service.

In all of the pics you see Charles yukking it up with both workers and visitors ... all of whom are Black.

The caption reads, "Continuing Their Royal Highnesses’ work to encourage vaccine take-up, The Prince of Wales today visited @jesushouseuk in London." Clarence House also wants us to know Charles is committed, as is Jesus House, to combatting vaccine hesitancy in the Black community.

The People Have Spoken! Majority of Britons Want Harry & Meghan Stripped of Titles After ‘Betrayal’ of Family

Victoria Friedman 10 Mar 2021

A poll conducted by the United Kingdom’s biggest-selling newspaper has found a majority of Britons want Harry and Meghan to be stripped of their titles after what Brexit leader Nigel Farage described as their “betrayal” of the Royal Family.

The Daily Mail commissioned the survey after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — as Harry and Meghan are still titled, despite last year stepping back from formal Royal life — gave a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which the couple implied a member of the Royal family was racist, that Meghan was denied mental health support when she felt suicidal, and Harry had been financially cut off.

The poll conducted by JL Partners found that the majority (53 per cent) thought that the interview was the “wrong thing to do” compared to just a third who thought otherwise. The findings are broadly in line with a Monday YouGov poll that found a plurality (47 per cent) thought it was “inappropriate” of the couple to do the interview.

A higher percentage, 54 per cent, said that Harry and Meghan had let down Queen Elizabeth II by airing their personal grievances on international television, with the same proportion thinking — with withe Queen’s 99-year-old husband still in hospital recovering from heart surgery — that it was the wrong time to do it.

“On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on.

Morgan paired his proclamation with a Winston Churchill quote graphic which states, “Some people’s idea of free speech is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.”

I respect Piers Morgan for having the guts and courage to speak out about the outrageous claims made by Markle the Golddigger.

I listen to a local Christian radio station and unfortunately they have sided with Markle and have brought up someone saying something about Archie's skin color. It has been noted that it wasn't the Queen or Philip -- so that  leaves Charles and Camilla OR Kate and William.  I read a report on the Winfrey interview and Markle specifically points fingers at Kate -- something to do with the bridesmaid dresses, or some sort of crap.  My hunch is that Markle is extremely jealous of Kate and her kids and wants to smear her and make demands from the family to make an exception to give Archie a title and a place in succession. She's playing the race card/Black Live Matter crap in order to stack the royal deck in her favor.

She will probably continue to smear the family until they give into her.  Harry going along with this makes him equally a piece of crap.  He states that he loves his brother ... so again ... it seems to me that the problem is between Kate and Markle.  She is out to destroy Kate  and has fed lie after lie to Harry  about her to create a rift between him William and Kate, and somehow in her warped mind, if she can cause enough problems for William and Kate and they divorce, that would put Markle in the spotlight and maybe she's hoping she'll become the first BLACK queen.

I am hoping that the Queen sees through all this and stomps on Markle (oh it won't be public but hopefully she'll throw a wrench in her works).

Philip is ill and the Queen isn't exactly a spring chicken.  Charles needs to have "words" with his son  --- either he stops the crap or he'll be shown the door.  He needs to chose between royal blood or trailer gold digging trash.

London (CNN)Prince William has denied the royal family is racist in his first public remarks since his brother Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan, made explosive claims in a TV interview.

Prince Harry inherited over $13M from Diana

By Nicki Gostin

March 10, 2021 | 6:04pm


It’s nice work if you can get it.

On Sunday night, Prince Harry gravely revealed to Oprah Winfrey that he and his wife, Meghan Markle, had been cut off financially by the royal family and they were only able to survive due to the inheritance left to him by his mother.

“I have what my mum left me and without that, we wouldn’t have been able to do this,” he said of the couple’s move to the United States.

“It’s like she saw it coming and she’s been with us through this whole process,” he added, noting “the Netflixes and Spotifys of it all was never part of the plan.”

So how much did Diana leave Harry?

The inheritance was, according to various sources, originally around $8.9 million, which grew with investments and as the principal accrued interest.

Harry, along with his brother, William, began receiving their inheritances at the age of 25, with the full amount arriving by the age of 30, when the ginger-haired prince netted approximately $13 million.

What Meghan misunderstood about the monarchy
Sally Bedell Smith
Tue, March 9, 2021, 7:16 AM


Of the many shocking statements made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in their full-scale assault on the monarchy during their two-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey, the most peculiar was surely Meghan’s claim to know nothing about the British monarchy when she first met Harry. She was so incurious that she didn’t bother to read a volume of history or biography. She said she didn’t even do an internet search to learn the basics. Her knowledge of the Royal Family, she said, was based only on what Harry “was sharing with me.” Astonishingly, as a graduate of well-regarded Northwestern University, she said her sense of Royal life was based on “fairytales.”

What she described as naivete seemed more like a wilful refusal to accept that life in The Firm – the name first used by Harry’s great-grandfather, King George VI – would involve long days of plaque unveiling and tree planting as well as exciting passion projects made possible by her unique position. If she had read some history, she would have recognised that overseas Royal tours such as the one she and Harry took to Australia are indeed “exhausting.” She would have known that she wasn’t the only member of the Royal Family to undertake such duties while pregnant. In 1948, for example, Queen Elizabeth II, then still a princess, took her first official visit with her husband to Paris. It was a gruelling four days, and Philip and Elizabeth generated massive goodwill. Unknown to the French or British officials, she was four months pregnant with Prince Charles and suffering from nausea behind closed doors.

Meghan complained bitterly about her treatment by the press, which did ricochet between adulation and harsh criticism. Perhaps if she had sat down for tea with her husband’s stepmother, the Duchess of Cornwall, she could have learnt about years of being savaged by the media. Camilla, like everyone else in the Royal Family, survived the pummelling by staying quiet, pressing ahead and doing her job. But Meghan was already bursting to share her point of view, even months before the wedding, with no less than Oprah Winfrey.

Coming from Hollywood, where actresses are joined at the hip with their publicists, Meghan expressed surprise that Palace press officials felt duty bound to listen to her first telephone conversation with Oprah. She then went behind their backs anyway, met her future interlocutor, invited her to the wedding, and arranged a privileged seat for her. Such was the downside of being “silenced.”

I think Megan wanted to be number two after the Queen. No one can hold a candle to Queen Elizabeth at this point. Even Meghan understood that. Camilla, Kate, Anne and Sophie just do what they do and carry on.

I'm not a big fan of polls, but I hope this is true and the Oprah interview is going to continue to bite them in the azz. The interview was nothing more than an avenue for them to extort $$ and make demands from the Royals. I think Harry is messed up in the head and Markle is just a greedy biotch.

Meghan Markle reportedly networking with Democrats, eyes bid for US president


Quote

Meghan Markle is reportedly already networking with senior Democrats to help her ambitions to become the first female US president.

The Duchess of Sussex previously told friends about her political ambitions — and now hopes her blockbuster Oprah Winfrey interview will strengthen support in the US, sources told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.

She has been openly networking among senior Democrats to help build fundraising teams and a campaign for the White House, according to a senior UK politician who served under former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and has close ties to Washington.

“The Blairite, internationalist and Democratic Party networks are buzzing with talk about Meghan’s political ambitions and potential backers,” the anonymous source told the UK paper.

Kate Middleton found it 'mortifying' that allegations she made Meghan Markle cry during a row over bridesmaids' dresses re-emerged during the Oprah Winfrey interview - two years ago after first being reported in 2018, a royal expert claimed.

Katie Nicholl noted how you 'never hear' about the Duchess of Cambridge, 38, falling out with anyone because she is 'very careful with how she treats others.' 

Previously, it was believed it was Meghan who had made Kate cry during a row over bridesmaids' dresses.

Prince Philip, 99, leaves hospital two weeks after heart surgery
Daily Mail/UK, Mar 16, 2021

The Duke of Edinburgh left hospital this morning following a month under the care of medical staff after initially being admitted with an infection and later undergoing heart surgery.

Prince Philip, 99, the nation's longest-serving consort, spent 28 nights as a patient in London at King Edward VII's Hospital and St Bartholomew's Hospital - his longest ever stay.

The 'Iron Duke' was photographed leaving King Edward VII's Hospital in Marylebone at about 10.30am today, with screens obscuring him for the most part, before getting into a car and being driven away

Well this was well calculated by Markle and Harry.  They left Britain because they knew that the US MSM would accommodate them in playing the race card.  They have laid the groundwork for blackmailing the Royals.  They could and probably will make demands changing centuries of royal protocol otherwise they will continue on with accusations.

No longer can the world count on the integrity of US elections and my hunch is the world can no longer count on the nobility of the Royal family.  Will their history be destroyed??

Queen Elizabeth's Special Birthday Parade Canceled for Second Year in a Row amid COVID-19


Quote



Queen Elizabeth's traditional parade, Trooping the Colour, has been canceled for the second year in a row due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

Plans are being explored for a scaled-down celebration likely to take place in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle, like last year, Buckingham Palace announced on Friday.

In a statement, the palace said, "Following consultation with Government and other relevant parties it has been agreed that The Queen's Official Birthday Parade, also known as Trooping the Colour, will not go ahead this year in its traditional form in central London. Options for an alternative Parade, in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle, are being considered."

The statement added that the annual Garter service that usually takes place at St. George's Chapel on the Monday after Trooping the Colour, will also not be taking place.

UK royal family considers appointing diversity czar
By Marina Pitofsky - 03/21/21 04:35 PM EDT

Buckingham Palace is considering appointing a new official to lead diversity efforts, according to multiple reports.

“This is an issue which has been taken very seriously across the royal households. We have the policies, the procedures and programmes in place but we haven’t seen the progress we would like and accept more needs to be done, we can always improve,” an unidentified royal source told multiple outlets.

“The work to do this has been under way for some time now and comes with the full support of the family,” the source continued.


An unidentified source noted that it is “too early” to confirm the appointment of a diversity chief, according to multiple reports.

“We are listening and learning, to get this right," the source said.

Names of Queen Elizabeth's new dogs revealed: report
Queen Elizabeth allegedly named the pups after a person and place held dear

The British monarch, 94, is calling new dorgi (a cross between a corgi and a dachshund) Fergus, and her new corgi Muick, The Sun reports. According to the outlet, Fergus was named in honor of the queen’s maternal uncle Fergus Bowes-Lyon, who was killed in action in World War I.

Muick (pronounced "Mick") was inspired by Loch Muick, a lake at Her Majesty’s Balmoral Castle in the Scottish highlands. A popular place for the royals to picnic and walk at the estate, Queen Elizabeth was reportedly seen at the freshwater lake last year.

"Both name choices are extremely poignant and dear to the Queen," a source told the Sun. "Loch Muick is one of her favorite places on the Balmoral estate and the loss of Uncle Fergus in the First World War is still honored by the family."

Queen's Granddaughter Zara Tindall Welcomes Baby Boy After Giving Birth in Her Bathroom


Quote

It's a royal baby boom!

Following the recent births of Princess Eugenie's firstborn son and Pippa Middleton's baby girl, Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter, Zara Tindall, 39, welcomed her third child with husband Mike Tindall. The baby boy joins the couple's two daughters, 7-year-old Mia and 2-year-old Lena.

Lucas Philip Tindall, who is the Queen's 10th great-grandchild, was born on Sunday, weighing 8lbs., 4oz., a rep for the couple tells PEOPLE.

Of the Tindall's baby news, the palace said in a statement, "The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news and look forward to meeting their 10th Great Grandchild when circumstances allow."

The baby boy, who is the fifth grandchild of Princess Anne, arrived in dramatic fashion. Proud dad Mike revealed on his The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast that his son was born at home — in the bathroom.

    Piers Morgan is railing against cancel culture and "woke" liberals in a lengthy account appearing in the U.K.'s "Mail on Sunday" newspaper.

Morgan, who left "Good Morning Britain" earlier this month after saying on air that he didn’t believe many of the things Meghan Markle had said in her shocking Oprah Winfrey interview, was writing at length for the first time since his divisive comments about the Duchess of Sussex.

The piece, which appeared online in the U.S. on Saturday night, gave a moment-by-moment account of what led to his departure from "GMB."

"I expected such disingenuous, self-serving wrecking-ball stuff from a social-climbing Hollywood actress like Ms Markle, but for Harry to publicly shred his family and the Monarchy like this, while Prince Philip was seriously ill in hospital, is so out of character for a man who once bravely served his Queen and country in war," Morgan said at the beginning of his column, adding that when he went on the air later that morning after watching the interview he was "angry to the point of boiling over."

Morgan is absolutely right of course. If political correctness didn't destroy our country enough,  cancel culture will.

As for Markle, she's just been a complete disaster for the Royals and I doubt she's far from over destroying them. The only royalty she'll ever be is just a plain 'royal biotch'!

I've been scanning the headlines off and on and I am glad to see more emphasis on William and Kate then on Harry and Markle.  It does my heart good.  It seems (at least for now) that some good is prevailing over evil.

Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Kids Gave the Queen This ‘Surprise’ Gift For Easter

A family affair. Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Easter 2021 plans included a “surprise” gift their three children gave to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

A source told Us Weekly on Monday, April 5, that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s kids—Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2—surprised their great-grandparents “with personalized Easter eggs, which they made and decorated themselves” for Easter. However, that wasn’t the only present that the Queen and Philip received. George, Charlotte and Louis also baked “a delicious chocolate cake covered in mini Cadbury eggs” for their great-grandparents with the help of their mom............

That is what's so sad.  Archie should be a part of this but unfortunately the jealousy of his mother and possibly his father towards his uncle and aunt will prevent that.  Maybe when he gets older, he will seek them out?

Given proper supervision, and considering the restraint which might be imposed by convention, it is possible that the clean  up will take less than 24 hours....the trick is to limit access to the real messy stuff...

Prince Harry's new 'CHIMPO' job title sparks hilarity in Japan... where the word is slang for 'penis'
    People in Japan have been left giggling at Prince Harry's new 'CHIMPO' job title
    Short for Chief Impact Officer, 'chimpo' is also slang for 'penis' in Japanese
    Social media users reacted with hilarity upon hearing the prince's new title
    He joined BetterUp Inc. in March and will have a full say in 'strategic decisions'
    Industry insiders suggest he is more likely to have been given equity in the company, which is valued at up to £1.25billion

Prince Harry's new 'Chief Impact Officer' job title at San Francisco-based mental health start-up BetterUp Inc. is leaving some in Japan laughing over its acronym.

The job title, that in the US is sometimes shortened to 'CHIMPO', has already drawn mockery at home in Britain for the silly-sounding phrase. ... Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9490419/Prince-Harrys-new-CHIMPO-job-title-sparks-hilarity-Japan.html)

Queen will mark 95th birthday in low-key fashion


Quote

The Queen will mark her 95th birthday on Wednesday in a private and low-key way, four days after the funeral of her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.

There will be no public celebrations as the monarch continues to observe two weeks of mourning until Friday.

No photograph celebrating the day is expected to be released this year, as is customary.

Some of the Queen's family are thought to be with her in Windsor, as well as around 20 staff, dubbed HMS Bubble.

Prince Harry Skips Queen’s 95th Birthday to Return to Meghan: Reports

Victoria Friedman 21 Apr 2021

Woke Prince Harry flew back to California on Tuesday to be with his wife Meghan, missing his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s 95th birthday and without having repaired the rift with his father, according to reports.

The Queen is marking her first birthday without her husband, Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh, who she laid to rest following his funeral at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday. The Queen is still under a period of Royal Mourning, which ends this Friday.

With Her Majesty expected to have a low key and private celebration with members of the Royal Family on Wednesday, The Sun and other media outlets have reported that Harry was back in the wealthy Santa Barbara enclave of Montecito, California, by 4 pm on Tuesday.

Harry is believed to have flown via American Airlines to Los Angeles airport, with MailOnline reporting that his chauffer-driven black Cadillac Escalade left a private terminal early that afternoon local time.

Earlier reports suggested Harry may have stayed to mark the milestone birthday but was “conflicted” and eager to get home to his pregnant wife, who is expecting their second child in the Summer.

What a jack azz and a half!!  Obviously he didn't mend any fences  with the rest of the family, but he could have at least attended the celebration for a short while, wished his grandmother well,  and given her a birthday hug for crying out loud.   

Not only is he a pompous azzhat, but I say he just further destroyed any chances of reconciliation. Also, this may have been the last time that he will see his grandmother alive!  She's 95.

I too would have loved to have more time with my grandparents.  We moved away when I was very young and never got to see them; I have early memories and that's it.  On the other side of the family, my grandmother died before I was born and my grandfather died before we moved.

Harry will regret his decision one day.

He has shown his true colors and if indeed his father has cut him off financially, good for him.  I absolutely admire the Queen and the royal family. I don't think he deserves any recognition of royalty.  He opted to move away and to give up his royal duties.

He and Markel aren't struggling financially, but one day he may just struggle with the guilt of turning his back on his blood!

Wow. Olive branch?  I'd say perhaps then he's snubbing his other son (the future King) and his granddaughter.  Who the heck does that?  I'd say that it was deliberately hurtful.

Perhaps then Harry didn't have issues with his Dad. My guess is that the issue is between the sister in-laws. Kate v. Meghan. Jealousy does terrible, terrible things and rips families apart. It was noted in the press that Kate and William sent birthday wishes to Archie and H&M (as the instagram was signed) sent bday wishes to Charlotte, but they didn't address her as Princess.  Sorry, I see that as a snub! It was H&M's choice not to give Archie a royal title!!

The Duchess of Sussex sported an eclectic collection of jewellery as she made an appearance at the star-studded Vax Live telecast yesterday.

Meghan Markle, 39, piled on stacks of jewels as she appeared in a pre-recorded message from her $14 million Californian mansion at the concert yesterday in which she claimed COVID has wiped out a generation of progress for women of color.

The Duchess, who is known for her love of expensive designer clothing and symbolic jewellery, opted to wear a red £1,200 Carolina Herrera shirt dress emblazoned with poppies for the occasion.

Meanwhile she paired the look with a stack of gold jewellery, including Princess Diana's £17,800 Cartier watch, a £5,000 Cartier bracelet, £2,361 bracelet and a £102 necklace featuring a 'woman's power' charm.

Prince Harry blasts dad Charles’ parenting: He passed on ‘pain and suffering’

The Prince Harry saga has now gone from reality show to Game of Thrones.

The renegade duke took his war with his family to a new level Thursday — as he claimed in a new interview that Prince Charles handed down a “cycle” of “genetic pain and suffering” to him, which he and wife Meghan Markle moved to Los Angeles to break.

“He treated me the way he was treated,” the 36-year-old said on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast.

The Duke of Sussex said that he debated leaving royal life since his “early 20s” because of “what it did to my mum,” contradicting the narrative that Markle was really the brains behind the move.

“It’s a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway,” said Harry, who dramatically quit his royal duties and moved to the United States last year.

“So we as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say, ‘You know what? That happened to me, I’m going to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.'”

The Duke of Sussex said he now wants to “break the cycle” within his family — after realizing that much of the way he was treated as a youngster was the result of how his own dad was raised by Queen Elizabeth II and the late Prince Philip.

Besides, most people do really dumb things in their twenties. I’m glad Harry is clean. Quitting addiction(s) is hard

"Go Back To England" - Prince Harry Elicits Backlash After Criticizing "Bonkers" First Amendment

by Tyler Durden
Saturday, May 15, 2021 - 08:45 AM

Prince Harry is still new to North America, and perhaps is still adjusting to some of its customs. For example, the First Amendment, which he dismissed as "bonkers" during a recent interview.

The comments inspired backlash online, with some critics calling for the young prince (who will almost certainly never be king) to "go back to England" in a series of hostile tweets.

During a Thursday appearance on Hollywood actor Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast, Prince Harry (who lives in California with wife Meghan Markle and his young son Archie after stepping down from his royal duties) declared: "I’ve got so much I want to say about the First Amendment. I still don’t understand it, but it is bonkers."

He also lamented the "genetic pain" of growing up a royal, implying that he was "mistreated" by his family, the latest in an unceasing string of criticism that has sparked talk about Harry becoming estranged from the family (he renounced his royal duties before leaving England after his wife engaged in a controversial lawsuit against British tabloids).

The comment elicited a stream of angry tweets.

If Harry hates freedom so much, then why in the heck does he choose to live here?  Neither the UK nor Canada have universal free speech, press, religion, etc.  Perhaps he would be more suited living there.

His poor poor me, routine doesn't get much sympathy in the first place.  He by birth was handed the ultimate life of luxury, despite being a blooming idiot.  This won't be his last misunderstanding of American culture and values that might fling back in his face.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle slammed over deal with company selling skin-whitening cream

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are fending off backlash for a partnership they engaged in with a beauty care line that peddles skin-whitening creams – which many have raised their eyebrows at considering the pair are stout anti-racism advocates, reports said on Monday.

After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced last week that they landed a deal with Procter & Gamble (P&G), the manufacturer of the popular and oft-controversial Olay line of skin management and lightening creams a former executive with the company criticized the move in an interview with The Mirror.

"Meghan has talked a lot about the issue of race and racism, so this does stick out like a sore thumb," Alex Malouf, a former Procter & Gamble executive, told the publication.

The "global partnership" with P&G was established to "build more compassionate communities," and according to the Daily Mail, the Olay brand currently sells the "White Radiance" moisturizer in India, Singapore and Malaysia...............

Regarding Harry's paternity:

https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harrys-real-father.html/  (https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harrys-real-father.html/)

Quote
"Diana and James didn’t meet until two years after Prince Harry was born, as Harry was born in 1984. As James once told The Sunday Mirror, “When I first met Diana, Harry was already a toddler.” He added, “I can understand the interest, but Harry was already walking by the time my relationship with Diana began. Admittedly, the red hair is similar to mine, and people say we look alike.” However, “I have never encouraged these comparisons, and although I was with Diana for a long time, I must state once and for all that I’m not Harry’s father.”

This along with many public interviews by James Hewitt.  Harry has Charles' close set eyes.

I think you're right about breaking his Grandma's heart and probably his Grandpa's heart as well.  Obviously the relationship between he and his father is strained.  I think there is friction between both Markle and Harry between William and Kate.

To leave your country, your duties and your family and go to another country and absolutely trash your family is really in very poor taste.  I didn't watch the Oprah interview but  'news' sources reported that claims were made about racism.

I beg to differ; the wedding included many "black" celebrities along with some non-traditional black culture touches here and there. Markle made her statement about race then.

Also, who can forget the tribute that was paid to Aretha Franklin when she died by the Buckingham Palace Guards?  It surprised me, and my first thought was it showed class by the Brits, but in the back of my mind, was the tribute requested by Markle or done because of her ethnicity?  My thought now is she probably demanded some sort of tribute.

I can't help but wonder now if Harry married her because of her race to goad his family.

"Copy" means the stones are crystals - big blue crystal (the Sapphire); clear crystals (the diamonds).

Yes, like you, I have many real gold and real stones jewelry and I enjoyed wearing them.  I do wear two rings all the time, as I am used to wearing one on each hand and feel something is missing if I do not have a ring on each hand.  When we went to casinos, I would change rings each trip in order to wear them all.  We haven't been to a casino since February of last year, 2020.  I think we will go to one in a few months.  The closest one is about an hour away if driving the speed limit.  I'll make a point of wearing the Diana ring for that first trip back to that casino.

I think he married her because he is a wuss that needs a strong woman boss. I bet she spanks his weewee when he does or says something to upset her.

What he needs is a ball transplant. The bonus would be that she wouldn't want him anymore,making it a "twofer win".

Princess Beatrice is pregnant

Quote

Princess Beatrice revealed that she is pregnant with her first child on the Sussexes' third wedding anniversary - after the couple angered the Yorks by announcing they were expecting at Princess Eugenie's wedding.

The Queen's granddaughter, 32, who tied the knot with the Italian property developer Edo Mapelli Mozzi in September 2020, are expecting the baby in autumn 2021, Buckingham Palace announced this morning.

The Queen and both families are said to be 'delighted' with the news, which will have brought much joy to the monarch who is mourning the loss of her husband Prince Philip, who died last month aged 99.

Princess Eugenie's baby will be the second grandchild for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and the Queen’s 12th great-grandchild following the arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan's Markle's second child in the summer.

It was the FRENCH EMTs (emergency medical technicians) who caused Diana's death when the car crash happened.  I looked into that, and realized they let her die but did not mean to do it.

I am an EMT and there are rules I must follow at a car crash or anywhere actually when they are called to an emergency.  If a person has gushing blood, that person is rushed to the ambulance right then to quickly go to the hospital while the EMT tries to slow the blood loss.  The reason being, that is likely an artery bleeding and must be stopped before the patient dies.

If it is a serious car crash, and it is obvious to the EMT, a person is unconscious but breathing but the blood pressure has dropped significantly, that person is also taken directly to the hospital with an EMT working with the body on the way.  The reason being, the person is likely bleeding internally.  There are more details about this procedure, but I will stop here.

The rules for the French EMTs is not like ours; I looked up the French rules.  They are supposed to "stabilize" the person before taking person to hospital.  Diana was unconscious; the EMTs were trying to revive her/stabilize her, before going to hospital.  She bled out inside and died right there.  At that time, I had all the details of what they did and knew they waited too long to go to hospital.  I did read one account where the EMTs were questioned about how long they waited before heading to hospital, so I was not the only one questioning their behavior.

The above is my opinion based on the facts I had.

Prince William slams the BBC after report finds 'deceitful' methods used to secure Diana interview
CNN, May 20, 2021

(CNN) Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has lambasted the BBC for contributing "significantly to her fear, paranoia and isolation" felt by his late mother, Princess Diana, in the years before her death, in a rare emotionally charged statement by a royal against the public broadcaster.

The Duke's comments come after the BBC offered an unconditional apology over the controversial 1995 interview by BBC journalist Martin Bashir with Diana, in which she detailed the breakdown of her relationship with Prince Charles. An inquiry had found that he used "deceitful" methods to secure the landmark interview.

The Duke also accused the BBC of commercializing a "false narrative" about his mother.

"But what saddens me most, is that if the BBC had properly investigated the complaints and concerns first raised in 1995, my mother would have known that she had been deceived. She was failed not just by a rogue reporter, but by leaders at the BBC who looked the other way rather than asking the tough questions," he said.

"It is my firm view that this Panorama programme holds no legitimacy and should never be aired again. It effectively established a false narrative which, for over a quarter of a century, has been commercialized by the BBC and others."

Definitely not the same as American EMT work, even back in the '70s (we had Shocktrauma at Hopkins and helos to transport the worst of the worst, right from the accident scene) but even that was a hard leap forward from the 'nearest hospital' policy, which would have cost dozens of lives. The same 15 minutes of transport time could be spent in the air, going to a far superior trauma facility. Our biggest bugaboo was extrication, and the 'Jaws of Life' had just become available (I love that thing).
We did our best to stabilize patients, stop open bleeds, stabilize fractures (especially spinal), secure airways (usually done by the paramedic on the helo) as part of extrication, but knew we could do little (other than apply air splints) to deal with hypovolemic shock from internal bleeding--that took an OR and competent surgeons and IV fluids (which we did not stock then), and in those days Shocktrauma was doing belly taps on the elevator from the landing pad to check for bleeding.

It is hard to watch the British paramedics on teevee, even now.

Harry Claims London Is ‘Trigger’ for Anxiety Attacks, Was ‘Afraid’ to Return for Prince Philip’s Funeral

Victoria Friedman 21 May 2021

Prince Harry has claimed that travelling to London is a “trigger” for his anxiety and revealed that he was “afraid” to return to Britain for his grandfather Prince Philip’s funeral.

The woke royal, who stood back from official duties last year and now lives with wife Meghan Markle in the exclusive Santa Barbara area of Montecito in California, made the former statement during the Apple TV mental health documentary The Me You Can’t See, a series on which he worked with Oprah Winfrey.

Harry said in comments reported by the Daily Mail: “For most of my life I’ve always felt worried, concerned, a little bit tense and uptight whenever I fly back into the UK, whenever I fly back into London.

“And I could never understand why. I was aware of it, I wasn’t aware of it at the time when I was younger, but after I started doing therapy stuff I became aware of it.

“I was like, why do I feel so uncomfortable? And of course for me London is a trigger, unfortunately, because of what happened to my mum, and because of what I experienced and what I saw.”

It was the EMTs (emergency medical technicians) who caused Diana's death when the car crash happened.  I looked into that, and realized they let her die but did not mean to do it.

I am an EMT and there are rules I must follow at a car crash or anywhere actually when they are called to an emergency.  If a person has gushing blood, that person is rushed to the ambulance right then to quickly go to the hospital while the EMT tries to slow the blood loss.  The reason being, that is likely an artery bleeding and must be stopped before the patient dies.

If it is a serious car crash, and it is obvious to the EMT, a person is unconscious but breathing but the blood pressure has dropped significantly, that person is also taken directly to the hospital with an EMT working with the body on the way.  The reason being, the person is likely bleeding internally.  There are more details about this procedure, but I will stop here.

The rules for the British EMTs is not like ours; I looked up the British rules.  They are supposed to "stabilize" the person before taking person to hospital.  Diana was unconscious; the EMTs were trying to revive her/stabilize her, before going to hospital.  She bled out inside and died right there.  At that time, I had all the details of what they did and knew they waited too long to go to hospital.  I did read one account where the EMTs were questioned about how long they waited before heading to hospital, so I was not the only one questioning their behavior.

The above is my opinion based on the facts I had.

She died in Paris not GB...

The Queen went through WWII, was in the Army, and likely saw a great deal of the mess from the Blitz. That, in contrast to mollycoddled postwar offspring, will lead to a contrasting demeanor. While others have known military service, I doubt it would be quite the same as seeing streets in London reduced to rubble, nor the stoic resolve of the British people to hold out.

Buckingham Palace announces unprecedented ‘Platinum Jubilee’ for Queen Elizabeth II next year

LONDON — Buckingham Palace announced its plans Wednesday to throw the boss — and her subjects — an over-the-top party next year to mark Queen Elizabeth II's unprecedentedly long reign.

In 2022, the queen is expected to become the first British monarch to celebrate a “Platinum Jubilee,” marking 70 years wearing the crown, having acceded to the throne in 1952 when her majesty was just 25.

If you thought the queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002 and her Diamond Jubilee in 2012 were big — with their star-studded concerts featuring Paul McCartney and Elton John — this one may be bigger.

And yet, a note of caution: The queen is 95 now — and newly widowed.

By all accounts (leaks, guesswork, biographers), she remains in remarkably robust health, despite the stress created by her children (Prince Andrew, shunned for his association with alleged American sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein) and runaway grandson, Prince Harry, who — along with and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex — keeps doling out monetized tidbits of House of Windsor dysfunction to Oprah Winfrey..............

..............“There has been some slowing down for several years, but she is still very engaged,” BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reported on Wednesday.

But such elaborate events require months of planning, so the palace is working on the queen’s next jubilee. The show must go on, and the monarchy — rocked by ongoing scandals and new revelations of previous bad behavior — needs to get up onstage and perform.

Or, as Prince Harry recently put it, to display themselves like animals in a zoo.

To mark the occasion, and deploy its greatest instrument of soft power, the British government has agreed to a four-day holiday weekend, beginning Thursday, June 2, 2022, with the “Trooping the Colour,” which marks the queen’s official (not actual) birthday, when 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians will set off from Buckingham Palace in central London and proceed down the Mall to Horse Guards Parade, joined by members of the royal family on horseback and in gilded carriages.

The palace says that the parade will close with the traditional flyover by the royal air force, watched by the royal family from the Buckingham Palace balcony.......................

Royals Photographer Gushes About His Favorite Kate Middleton Family Photo: 'It's an Absolute Winner'

Kate Middleton has one royal photographer's stamp of approval.

ITV's The Royal Rota podcast recently welcomed Arthur Edwards, who has photographed the royal family since the 1970s, and Edwards had no shortage of glowing feedback on Kate's own work behind the camera.

"I'm a great admirer of Kate's photography, she's grasped it very quickly," Edwards said.

The Duchess of Cambridge is often behind birthday portraits of her three children — Prince George, 7; Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3 — and other family moments. But one shot in particular really impressed Edwards.

"The picture that I love most that she's done is William and the three children on the swing," he said about the photo shared in June 2020 to celebrate Prince William's 38th birthday. "I would have killed to have taken that picture.". .....

The Duchess of Sussex has given birth to a daughter named Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, after the family nickname for the Queen and the duke's mother Princess Diana, who died in 1997.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's baby girl was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40am at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara weighing 7lb 11oz, and is said to be settling in at home. 

She is sister to two-year-old Archie and is the Queen's 11th great-grandchild - the first of the monarch and Philip's great-grandchildren to be born since the death of the Duke of Edinburgh in April.

I was thinking exactly the same thing ... as much as Markle claims to adore her mother, I thought for sure she'd name her daughter after her or use Doria as the middle name.  Obviously that doesn't suit their agenda.

As I summed things up earlier ....ugh! ugh! ugh!  I can't stand either one of them.  They are both trash in my books.

Lilibet isn't the "family nickname" for the Queen. Yes, it was Elizabeth's nickname as a child  but became a name only her husband called her for 70 years.

It was also how the Queen signed the letter that rested on Phillip's casket.

I despise these two grifters.  They respect nothing. 

I'm also starting to hope Karma's warming up.

 Meghan, Harry’s choice of name Lilibet is ‘rude’ towards Queen, expert says

By Francesca Bacardi

June 7, 2021 | 7:43am

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to name their newborn Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is “rude” towards Queen Elizabeth II, a royal biographer claims.

Angela Levin suggested the decision was a bad idea because the private nickname was bestowed on Elizabeth by her late husband, Prince Philip.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea — I think it’s quite rude to Her Majesty Her Queen. It was a very private nickname from her husband, who hasn’t been dead for very long,” Levin said on “Good Morning Britain.”

Harry And Meghan Announce Birth Of Beautiful 'Half-Oppressed, Half-Privileged Baby'

WORLD—Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have announced the arrival of a beautiful new baby. In the announcement, they described their new baby as "a beautiful, 7 pound, 11-ounce baby girl who is half-oppressed and half-privileged."

"Mother and baby are doing well," said Prince Harry to reporters. "Even in these early days, we are making sure to teach our child that she carries the blood of white colonial oppressors, as well as oppressed people of color. This unique mix may make raising our child extremely difficult."

Expert critical theorists also expressed worry that the child may grow up fighting a constant internal battle between her oppressor self and her oppressed self. ............

Prince Andrew's birthday present to the Queen: Royal 'gives monarch a new six-week-old corgi' - after death of her new puppy left her 'devastated'

    Queen, 95, has been given a new corgi puppy as a birthday gift by Prince Andrew
    This comes after five-month-old Dorgi puppy, Fergus, died suddenly last month
    Six-week-old male pup was given to Her Majesty on Prince Philip 100th birthday

By Clare Mccarthy For Mailonline

Published: 09:14 EDT, 13 June 2021 | Updated: 09:15 EDT, 13 June 2021

The Queen is 'delighted' having been gifted a new corgi puppy by Prince Andrew to mark her official birthday, reports suggest today.

The monarch, 95, was given two new dogs by her son in February to keep her company in Windsor while the Duke of Edinburgh was recovering from heart surgery.

However she was left 'devastated' last month when her new Dorgi puppy, Fergus, died of a heart problem which it had from birth.

Now, Prince Andrew, 61, and his daughters Beatrice, 32, and Eugenie, 31, have bought Her Majesty another six-week-old male pup.

Meghan Markle’s Desire to ‘Activate Compassion’ Stalls as Her Book Misses Top 50

Meghan Markle’s first children’s picture book failed to hit the UK Official Top 50 chart in its opening week of sales, with The Bench selling just 3,212 copies on release with an average rating of four stars.

The Daily Mirror reports the tome was beaten to the top of the sales charts by a volume from footballer Marcus Rashford.

The 40-page £12.99 ($18.42) effort is illustrated with pictures of a family including one of Meghan cradling a newborn baby in a possible nod to their newborn daughter Lili.

The book’s jacket describes the former actor as “a mother, wife, feminist, and activist,” committed to “activating compassion in communities across the world.”

Meghan Markle’s first children’s picture book failed to hit the UK Official Top 50 chart in its opening week of sales, with The Bench selling just 3,212 copies on release with an average rating of four stars.




I figured there were at least 3,212 libraries in the U.K. Bargain bin after two weeks.  Just rewards.

Not in my palace! As king, Charles will not let grandson Archie be prince: report

Prince Harry’s son Archie will never become a prince under his grandfather’s plan for a slimmed-down monarchy, a new report said.

Prince Charles, who is likely to be the next British king, is determined to limit the number of key royals in an effort to appease his future subjects — who he believes don’t want to pay for a bloated monarchy, The Daily Mail reported Saturday.

Charles told his son that he will change key documents to prevent Archie from inheriting the title, which would have once been his birthright, the article said. The toddler is currently seventh in line to the throne.

“Harry and Meghan were told Archie would never be a Prince, even when Charles became King,” the tabloid’s source said.

The news has not sat well with Harry and Meghan Markle, even though the Sussexes abandoned their royal duties to live in the US, the report said.

Harry and Meghan tried playing hard ball to get their way and it backfired. The Queen isn't budging nor is Charles and I believe rightfully so.  It was Harry and Meghan's choice in the beginning not to give a title to Archie, as according to Harry, having a title was too overwhelming.  I am still hoping that Charles will abdicate the throne to his son William.  Though Charles is next in line, and  rightful heir to the throne after Queen Elizabeth, I don't see anything exciting, appealing or flattering about Charles and Camilla.

Princess Diana statue: Harry and William reunite for unveiling at Kensington Palace


Princess Diana's sons come together for the first time since April to unveil a statue of her at Kensington Palace, saying they hope it will be "seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy".

Prince William and Prince Harry stood side by side as they unveiled a statue of their mother on what would have been her 60th birthday.

A small ceremony was held at Kensington Palace for the unveiling of the Princess of Wales's memorial statue, commissioned by her sons in 2017

The Meghan show! Duchess of Sussex drops major hint that new animated Netflix series will be based on HER by calling its 12-year-old 'heroine' Pearl - the origin meaning of her own name

    The 39-year-old announced on Wednesday that she is creating and producing an animated series for Netflix as part of the Sussexes' lucrative deal with the site
    According to Netflix, the show will center around 'the adventures of a 12-year-old girl [Pearl] who is inspired by a variety of influential woman from history'
    It was revealed that the series and its title character will be called 'Pearl' - the Welsh meaning of Meghan's own name 
    In a statement, Meghan said that the 'heroine' is 'on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life's daily challenges'
    Meghan will serve as 'creator and executive producer' on the series, which she is creating in partnership with Elton John's husband, David Furnish, 58
    This is the second project to be announced as part of the Sussexes' deal with Netflix, which is estimated to have been worth around $100 million

Meghan Markle dropped a major hint that her new animated Netflix series will be based - at least in part - on her own childhood, by naming both the show and its title character Pearl, the origin meaning of her name.

The 39-year-old mother-of-two announced details of her new project for the streaming giant on Wednesday, revealing that she will both 'create and produce' the series, which focuses on a '12-year-old heroine who finds inspiration in influential women from history'.

However it seems that Meghan is also shouldering another major role within the creation of the series - serving as the inspiration for its title character.

Harry and Meghan want Lilibet to be christened at Windsor in front of the Queen - with Duke making 'intentions clear' during visit for the unveiling of Princess Diana's statue

They've accused the Queen of handing down 'genetic pain and suffering' and charged unnamed relations with racism, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are apparently eager to cling on to the perks of life in the Royal Family.

I hear that Prince Harry and Meghan want a royal christening for their baby, Lilibet, held in the presence of the Queen.

The California-based couple's intentions are said to have been made clear during Harry's visit to this country for the unveiling of Princess Diana's statue earlier this month.

'Harry told several people that they want to have Lili christened at Windsor, just like her brother,' a royal source tells me. 'They are happy to wait until circumstances allow.'

THE Queen has ordered senior Palace aides to plan a legal fightback amid ­hurtful attacks by Harry and Meghan — declaring: “Enough is enough.”

The monarchy’s legal team is consulting libel experts after a barrage of criticism from the US-based couple.


Last night a well-placed source revealed the Queen, 95, has become “exasperated with repeated attacks”.

They said: “The feeling, coming right from the top, is that enough is enough.

"There is a limit to how much will be accepted and the Queen and Royal Family can only be pushed so far.

“They are getting lawyered up. Harry and Meghan will be made aware and know repeated attacks will not be tolerated.”

‘Enough Is Enough’ – Queen Getting ‘Lawyered Up’ Against Harry and Meghan: Report

Jack Montgomery22 Aug 202122

Britain’s 95-year-old monarch has reportedly lost patience with Prince Harry and his wife, American ex-actress Meghan Markle, having “lawyered up” after her woke grandson’s announcement of a tell-all memoir.

“The feeling, coming right from the top, is that enough is enough,” an informant described as a “well-placed source” has told The Sun, the United Kingdom’s leading “red top” tabloid.

“There is a limit to how much will be accepted and the Queen and Royal Family can only be pushed so far,” the source told the newspaper, warning that senior royals “are getting lawyered up. Harry and Meghan will be made aware and know repeated attacks will not be tolerated.”

Harry claims he is writing his memoir “not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become” — although he has not actually given up his royal title, the asset which has allowed the academically non-gifted 36-year-old to walk away from his public duties as a “senior royal” and into a lucrative career as a Hollywood celebrity.

Harry and Meghan, known as the Sussexes after their titles as Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which the Queen granted as a personal courtesy, recently signalled via unofficial biographer Omid Scobie that they were unhappy that the Queen did not take “full ownership” after Meghan made strongly disputed race claims about the British royals in an interview with talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

Prince Andrew served court papers in sex-assault lawsuit after attempts to avoid them
NY Post, Sep 10, 2021

Prince Andrew has finally been served court papers over his sex accuser’s lawsuit — after his police guards and security were initially ordered not to accept them, according to court papers filed Friday.

Cesar Sepulveda filed an affidavit in the Manhattan federal lawsuit brought by Virginia Roberts Giuffre confirming that he had served the papers to Andrew at his Royal Lodge home at 9:30 a.m. Aug. 27.

He detailed how he had been repeatedly rebuffed in previous attempts to hand over the documents in which Queen Elizabeth II’s 61-year-old son is accused of first-degree rape tied to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s sex ring.

Sepulveda said the day before the papers were successfully served, he had been told to wait at Andrew’s main gates, where police officers — including Andrew’s head of security — repeatedly claimed they could not reach anyone inside.

The server said he was then told that “the security there had been instructed not to allow anyone attending there for the purpose of serving court papers onto the grounds of the property and at the time they had been told not to accept service of any court process.”

He was “also advised at that time that anything left there would not be forwarded” to the prince.

Yes, but he is quite old; unless he does something catastrophic, like agreeing to remove the crown as the head of state of the U.K., I think that they can survive even 10 years of his tomfoolery.  What the U.K. could not survive, IMO, is a twenty or thirty year reign of Charles, or a Charles doppelganger.

 Stepping Down From The Crown Is Proving To Be Quite Lucrative For Prince Harry And Meghan Markle
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle didn't just quit working for the royal family, they found a better gig.

By Emma Freire
September 16, 2021

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the former duke and duchess of Sussex, have taken America by storm. Their arrival on our shores is reminiscent of the British invasion in the 1960s. Except, instead of selling music, Harry and Meghan are here to sell us their ideas and personas. They haven’t just quit working for the royal family, they found a better gig.

Their post-royal trajectory resembles that of post-presidency Barack and Michelle Obama. Harry and Meghan give interviews, publish books, and launch charitable ventures. This is earning them a fortune, but they still claim to be victims.

The couple left the British royal family, a move dubbed “Megxit” in the press, in January 2020. Since then, they have rarely been off the front pages. Harry made headlines when he blamed “mass-scale misinformation” for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy during a virtual appearance at the GQ Men of the Year awards on September 2.

Harry and Meghan embrace every standard liberal position, particularly a horror of people getting information from any source other than legacy media outlets and institutions.

"Taken America by storm"????

I honestly do not know ONE single person that has ever mentioned either in public,other than the people who saw Markle in the drama series she was in,and to give her the credit due,she IS a pretty good actress.

Then again,I honestly don't know anyone that gives a squat about any Royalty anywhere,and this includes the English Royalty.

I suspect the largest part of this "interest" comes from the media,and they only care because they need to have something to write about.

Russia hosts first royal wedding since revolution as descendant of tsars marries
Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov wed Victoria Romanovna Bettarini, at St. Isaac's Cathedral in Russia's former imperial capital St Petersburg.
NBC News, Oct 1, 2021

A descendant of Russia's former imperial family married his Italian bride on Friday in the first royal wedding to take place on Russian soil since tsarist times more than a century ago.

Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov tied the knot with Victoria Romanovna Bettarini, an Italian, at St. Isaac's Cathedral in Russia's former imperial capital St Petersburg.

Russian Orthodox clergy conducted the elaborate ceremony, watched by hundreds of guests who included the groom's mother, Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia — the self-proclaimed heir to Russia's imperial throne - and more than a dozen minor European royals.

George Mikhailovich's great-grandfather, Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, fled Russia during the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, escaping first to Finland and later relocating with his family to Western Europe.

Russia's last tsar, Nicholas II, his wife and five children were murdered by a revolutionary firing squad in July, 1918, in the cellar of a merchant's house in Yekaterinburg, a city 900 miles east of Moscow.

George Mikhailovich, 40, was born in Madrid and has lived most of his life in Spain and France.

Bettarini, 39, who converted to the Russian Orthodox faith last year and took the name Victoria Romanovna, was led to the altar by her father, Roberto Bettarini, who has served in the Italian diplomatic service.

The Romanov dynasty ruled Russia for over 300 years before Nicholas II abdicated in early 1917, setting the country on course for the Bolshevik Revolution in November of that year, civil war and 70 years of Communist rule.

Russia's Orthodox Church in 2000 canonised Nicholas II, who had been portrayed as a weak leader by Soviet authoritie

Meghan Markle is accused of using her British royal title to meddle in US politics after sending a two-page letter on headed notepaper - 'using tactics of an aspiring politician' - to plead for paid leave for parents

    Meghan urges politicians to bring in paid parental leave as 'national right' as Joe Biden's bill heads to Senate
    In her letter on Sussexes' headed paper details growing up on a 4.99-dollar salad bar and first job at age 13
    Critics point out Duchess was privately educated paid for her now estranged lighting director father Thomas
    Royal experts say lobbying intervention is a new sign that Meghan has serious political ambitions in the US 

By Martin Robinson, Chief Reporter For Mailonline
Published: 07:59 EDT, 21 October 2021 | Updated: 09:26 EDT, 21 October 2021

Meghan Markle was today accused of using her British royal title to meddle at the top of US politics and adopting the 'ruthless streak' and 'tactics of an aspiring politician' to lobby two senior Washington figures on Joe Biden's proposed parental and sick leave legislation in a 1000-word letter sent on the Sussexes' own headed paper.

Royals experts have also questioned whether Americans will be impressed 'by her account of how she had to struggle' on $4.99 salads from Sizzler when her estranged father Thomas put her through private school from kindergarten and she now lives in a $14million LA mansion while sitting on a $100million fortune.

The Duchess of Sussex's letter was sent, she claims, as an 'engaged citizen and a parent and as a mom' - but is being viewed as her most overtly political intervention in US life yet after speculation she has dreams of being a Democrat politician or even to run for US President.    ...

Queen Elizabeth Was Hospitalized, Palace Discloses

 Queen Elizabeth II entered the hospital on Wednesday afternoon for tests and was discharged on Thursday, a day after Buckingham Palace announced she would cancel a visit to Northern Ireland on the advice of her doctors.

The palace, which provided no further details on her condition or the nature of the tests, confirmed the hospital visit on Thursday evening, after a report about it appeared in The Sun, a British tabloid. On Wednesday, the palace said she “reluctantly accepted medical advice to rest for the next few days.”

In the latest statement, a spokesman for Buckingham Palace said, “the Queen attended hospital on Wednesday afternoon for some preliminary investigations, returning to Windsor Castle at lunchtime today, and remains in good spirits.”

People with ties to the palace said the decision to cancel the Northern Ireland trip was prompted by concerns that the queen, 95, was exhausted after a hectic series of public events, including a reception for business people, including Bill Gates, at Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening.

The queen returned to her desk at Windsor on Thursday afternoon, according to a person with ties to the palace. The decision for her to stay overnight was taken as a precaution by the queen’s medical team, this person said.

News that the queen was hospitalized will deepen anxieties about her condition in a country where she has reigned for nearly seven decades....................

Prince William and Kate Middleton will likely visit the U.S. in 2022 to boost their popularity, source claims

A palace insider alleged that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were impacted by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Oprah interview

Prince William and Kate Middleton have their sights on America.

Palace insiders recently told Katie Nicholl, royal author and Vanity Fair correspondent, that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will very likely make a high-profile visit across the pond in 2022 to boost their popularity.

"[They] are aware that their popularity took a bit of a dive post the Oprah interview, and that the focus now is on getting that support back," one source told the outlet.

The couple’s last official visit to the U.S. was in December 2014. At the time, the duchess, 39, was pregnant with Princess Charlotte.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge attend the Earthshot Prize 2021 at Alexandra Palace on October 17, 2021 in London, England.

According to the outlet, it’s unknown whether the couple would visit Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in California if they were in the U.S. William, 39, did confirm that the U.S. will host the Earshot Prize ceremony next year. It first took place in London on Sunday.............

So, the Queen is aged and obviously her health has become a concern right now. I'm thinking we'll either see her stepping down or she will pass; she's had a very long reign.  The question is -- will Charles take over as the rightful heir or will  he abdicate the throne on to William?  William and Kate are much more popular. Charles still carries some baggage because of Diana and Camilla, well, she just doesn't have much of a royal presence.  Abdication though would involve the approval of parliament.

Queen Elizabeth II is advised to rest for at least 2 weeks and cuts back her schedule

— Queen Elizabeth II has been advised to rest for at least the next two weeks, accepting doctors' advice to cut back on her busy schedule, Buckingham Palace said Friday.

The 95-year-old monarch can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties during this time — including some virtual audiences. But she will be unable to travel to the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday, Nov. 13.

"However, it remains The Queen's firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday, on 14th November,'' the palace said, noting a major event on the monarch's annual calendar.

I very strongly doubt the Queen will abdicate - shades of the last monarch to abdicate are too strong - so I believe she will die in her traces.  It is what good monarchs do, after all.

I also highly doubt that Charles will abdicate, either.  Too much ego in that one.  He'll want to set his own "stamp" on the monarchy and, feeling his age, will rush to do it all at once.  Hopefully, the internal bureaucracy of the royal house will be up to the challenge of fending off the worst of his ideas.

If there is any part of the monarchy left after Charles, William will get that in due course.  Hopefully, he will be up to the challenge of repairing all the damage that will be wrought by his father.

I’d be fine with William and Kate.

I just can’t picture England without Elizabeth.

Next year she’ll be on the throne for 70 years. She’s been the only monarch so many people know.

(She will also be the second longest reining monarch, King Louis XIV was King for 72 years- I’d love to see Queen Elizabeth break this record)

Just my personal speculation, but I believe that William may have the right stuff; the real problem is what to do with Chuckie - she may be trying to outlive him, or at least have him be old enough that the damage he manages to do can be contained and repaired.

Meghan says sorry to court for forgetting book discussions
JILL LAWLESS
November 11, 2021, 4:32 AM

LONDON (AP) — The Duchess of Sussex has apologized for misleading a British court about the extent of her cooperation with the authors of a sympathetic book about her and Prince Harry.

The former Meghan Markle is embroiled in legal action in London over a newspaper’s publication of portions of a letter she wrote to her estranged father after her 2018 marriage to Harry, a grandson of Queen Elizabeth II.

She sued the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and the MailOnline website for breach of privacy and copyright. A High Court judge ruled in her favor in February, saying publication of the letter Meghan wrote to her father, Thomas Markle, was “manifestly excessive and hence unlawful.”

Publisher Associated Newspapers is trying to overturn that decision at the Court of Appeal. The publisher argues that Meghan wrote the letter knowing it might be published and made private information public by cooperating with Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, authors of “Finding Freedom.” 

The duchess’ lawyers have previously denied that she or Harry collaborated with the authors. But the couple’s former communications director, Jason Knauf, said in evidence to the court that he gave the writers information, and discussed it with Harry and Meghan. ...

Associated Newspapers says Knauf’s evidence also undermines Meghan’s claim that she did not intend the letter to be seen by anyone but her father. ...
AP via Yahoo News (https://www.yahoo.com/news/meghan-says-sorry-court-forgetting-093226664.html)
She wrote the letter to her father with the express intention of using it to negatively portray the man in her book - and lied about it to the court.

How Meghan Markle wins the White House

Quote


In October, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made her most significant political intervention to date. She marked her fortieth birthday by writing an open letter “as a mom” to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and asked Congress to legislate for paid family leave for new parents. Markle may have thought she was pushing at an open door: the Democrats were striving to include paid family leave in the Build Back Better Act. But this may not be the only open door Meghan is pushing at.

Seasoned observers will notice the Markle trademarks in the letter. There is the folksy appeal to her humble heritage: “I grew up on the $4.99 salad bar at Sizzler… I knew how hard my parents worked to afford this because even at five bucks, eating out was something special, and I felt lucky.” There is the sound of enormous privilege being checked ever so modestly: “Like any parents, we were overjoyed. Like many parents, we were overwhelmed. Like fewer parents, we weren’t confronted with the harsh reality of either spending those first few critical months with our baby or going back to work.”

She signed the letter “The Duchess of Sussex,” even though her husband’s grandmother has asked her not to use the title for political ends. But Meghan seems not to care about offending her in-laws: the duchess has set her sights higher than mere celebrity. After an enforced hiatus due to Covid-19, a domestic interlude which Meghan and Harry filled by producing a second child and some inspirational videos, the Sussexes are back. Her foray into lobbying in October, and her and Harry’s quasi-presidential appearance at the UN General Assembly in September, may be baby steps toward the greatest show on Earth: the White House.

Queen pulls out of Remembrance Sunday service after spraining her back


Quote

CNN) — Britain's Queen Elizabeth II missed the Remembrance Sunday service in central London after spraining her back, Buckingham Palace said Sunday.

"The Queen, having sprained her back, has decided this morning with great regret that she will not be able to attend today's Remembrance Sunday Service at the Cenotaph. Her Majesty is disappointed that she will miss the service," a statement said.
Prince Charles laid a wreath at the Cenotaph on the Queen's behalf, as in previous years.

Buckingham Palace had confirmed on Thursday that the 95-year-old monarch was well enough to attend the ceremony to commemorate those who have died in conflicts.

When I was a young lad, we ate out often, at Iggy's Icehouse we could get five large burgers (exactly enough for our family) in a bag for $1.00, fries were $.10 per order, and soda water was $.05 each so $1.75 fed the entire family.

PIERS MORGAN: Put your gloating champagne away, Princess Pinocchio – the court of public opinion now knows you're a fork-tongued devious manipulative piece of work who only wants to protect your privacy so you can sell it

By Piers Morgan for MailOnline

Published: 12:41 EST, 2 December 2021 | Updated: 12:42 EST, 2 December 2021

'If you tell the truth,' Mark Twain once observed, 'you don't have to remember anything.'

I thought of this incontrovertible truism today when news broke that Meghan Markle had 'won' her privacy court battle with the Mail on Sunday.

Her victory response was issued within seconds, on regal notepaper adorned with a gold 'M' under a golden crown, and headlined: 'Statement from Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.'

excerpt:
Let's be very clear about exactly what Meghan 'won' today.

The Court of Appeal decided the Mail on Sunday was not entitled to publish quite as much of her letter to her estranged father Thomas Markle's as the newspaper did.

Had they run less of it, the judges said, the Mail would have been OK.

So, she won on a point about precisely how many of her words were permissible to be reported, assuming the letter was indeed private, surely an issue for trial.

(To be precise, 585 words from a 1,250-word letter was deemed too much.)

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen a family photograph taken on a visit to Jordan as the image for their official Christmas card this year.

Prince William, pictured in shorts and a khaki polo shirt, is sitting on a gold footstool alongside his wife in a long-sleeved dark green summer dress.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte sit on either side, with Prince Louis in front on a sheepskin-style rug.

The festive card is sent to friends, associates and their charities..........

I saw this picture and the very first thing that caught my eye was Archie's hair. To my it looks like his hair was photoshopped in -- it just doesn't look natural, or it looks like someone put a bowl on his head and cut his hair -- it looks terrible.

You can bet it all that the Royal Family KNOWS that Prince Charles is not Prince Harry's father.  All the tests were done.

So you can understand how the Queen and family instinctively feel when they see pics of Diana with little Harry.

IMO, the 'enhanced' red hair in the photos is Meghan's way of rubbing Queen Elizabeth's nose in it.

Judge: Prince Andrew can’t halt lawsuit with domicile claim

 Prince Andrew’s effort to immediately block the progression of a lawsuit by a woman who says he sexually assaulted her when she was 17 — on the grounds that she no longer lives in the U.S. — was rejected by a federal judge as oral arguments were set to proceed Monday on the prince’s request to dismiss the lawsuit.

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, in a written order Friday, told the prince’s lawyers they must turn over documents on the schedule that has been set in the lawsuit brought in August by Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre says she was abused by the prince on multiple occasions in 2001 while she was being sexually abused by financier Jeffrey Epstein. The prince’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, has called the lawsuit “baseless.”

The order was filed three days before the scheduled public release Monday of a 2009 settlement agreement between Epstein and Giuffre. Lawyers for Andrew say that the agreement protects the prince from claims like those brought by Giuffre and will be sufficient grounds for the lawsuit’s dismissal........

Prince Andrew STRIPPED of royal title and all military honours by Queen amid sex assault lawsuit shame


Quote

PRINCE Andrew has tonight been STRIPPED of his royal title and all military honours after a face-to-face showdown with the Queen.

The bombshell news was announced by Buckingham Palace this evening and comes amid growing anger at the Duke of York's sex assault lawsuit.

His military affiliations and royal patronages have been returned to the Queen with immediate effect after he was accused of sexually assaulting Virginia Roberts Giuffre when she was just 17.

The Duke will also no longer be able to use 'His Royal Highness' - and will face his US lawsuit as a "private citizen" meaning he can't hide behind royal privileges.

I feel for the Queen; first Harry is a disgrace and now Andrew.  How terrible for her in her final years as queen. She must be absolutely mortified.

According to the NYT, --  More than 150 Royal Navy, R.A.F. and Army veterans signed a letter to the queen, asking her to strip Andrew of his eight British military appointments, which include colonel-in-chief of the Royal Irish Regiment, royal colonel of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, and colonel of the Grenadier Guards.

What are the succession rules regarding gender?  Princess Anne is older than Prince Andrew or Prince Edward, yet she is ranked lower than her two younger brothers.  And with Edwards children, his daughter Louise is ranked below her younger brother James.  Yet Princess Charlotte (4th in line) is ranked ahead of her younger brother Prince Louis.

I believe Anne took herself out of the succession but kept her title of Princess Royal. I know she took her own children, a son and a daughter out. Anne’s children have titles, as with their children. But they won’t be eligible at all to ever be King or Queen.

I need to check Burke’s peerage, but I also think when Anne is gone, Charlotte takes the title of Princess Royal, or when William becomes king, she will automatically get that title, and Anne becomes the Dowager Princess Royal.

I also recall something about Queen Elizabeth changing things so Char,otte will go before Louis.

Good.  Harry walked away from the family.  He needs to be dismissed. He disgraced his family by going on the public airways and airing how disgruntled he was with them and how poorly he and his tramp were treated.  I don't like the fact that they remain in the U.S., the Brits don't need him, maybe the Aussies will take them.

I do feel sorry for Archie and Lily; they aren't responsible for their parents taking them away from the Royal family.  That's a disgrace in itself.

 Prince Andrew: How Tragic for His Mother
He thought he knew best in responding to the Epstein scandal — and now he’s paying the price.
by Robert Taylor
January 20, 2022, 10:57 PM

Who’d have thought a 95-year-old woman, who’s just lost her husband of seven decades, could be so utterly ruthless? Who could know she’d stand ready to desert her favorite child? And who could imagine that she would put her business — “The Firm,” as she calls it — ahead of her nearest and dearest?

Okay, she might be the Queen, but even so her son Andrew must feel he’s been kicked hard by his own mother, right between the legs, just when he’s friendless and the whole world is denouncing him. She’s stripped off his military titles and royal patronages and instructed that he will no longer be called His Royal Highness. He’s no longer a working Royal, and a range of charities and trusts have cut their ties with him. Even his Twitter page has been deleted. Like a peacock, each of his colorful feathers are being ripped out, one by one, in full, painful, public view.

And all of this is despite the fact that he hasn’t, as yet, been found guilty of anything.

Sage of Montecito Speaks: Prince Harry Has Advice on Handling ‘Hard Days, Burnout, and Bad Stuff’
Simon Kent
4 Feb 2022


Prince Harry used a virtual summit Friday to open up about his personal feelings, sharing how he dealt with “burnout” and once felt like he was “getting to the very end of everything that I had” as life’s travails closed in on his Royal progress.

The multi-millionaire also urged employers to grant staff more time off, pleading firms should “give everyone time to focus on themselves” away from the demands of the working day.

The Duke of Sussex, 37, made the comments alongside tennis star Serena Williams with his palatial $15 million Montecito, California, mansion providing a backdrop.

The pair were hosted by BetterUp, the San Francisco mental health start-up he joined last year as self-described Chief Impact Officer, as Breitbart News reported.

In the exchange, Harry lamented he was “literally getting to the very end of everything that I had, any fuel or any steam in the engine just like I was burning the candle at both ends,” continuing his personal habit of constantly sharing his inner thoughts with the world while pleading for privacy. ...

Queen Elizabeth II announces Camilla as future 'Queen' when Prince Charles takes the throne

Quote

Queen Elizabeth II wants Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to be known as "Queen" when Prince Charles takes the throne, she announced on Saturday.

"When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service," she said in a statement released on the eve of her Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years since she ascended the throne in 1952.

That means Camilla would be known as "Queen Camilla." It was previously unclear if she would receive the title.

The Queen has said she wants Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, to be known as Queen Consort when Prince Charles becomes King.

In a message marking the 70th anniversary of her reign, the Queen said it was her "sincere wish" that Camilla would have that title.

There had been suggestions Camilla would be known as Princess Consort.

But the Queen's announcement paves the way for her to be known as Queen Camilla in the future.

A Clarence House spokesman said the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were "touched and honoured". ...

Queen Elizabeth backs Camilla as ‘Queen Consort’ in surprise statement (https://nypost.com/2022/02/05/queen-elizabeth-backs-camilla-as-queen-consort/)

By Eileen AJ Connelly (NY Post)
February 5, 2022

It looks like Camilla will be “Queen” after all.

In a surprise statement the day before her Platinum Jubilee, Queen Elizabeth II said she supports calling her son’s second wife “Queen Consort” when he takes the throne.

The 95-year-old monarch gave the shocking nod in a letter written from Sandringham House, the palace where she hosted a reception ahead of the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne on Saturday.

The majority of the letter involves thanking her subjects and remarking on the progress made during her reign, but near the end, she dropped a bomb.

QUEEN ELIZABETH'S CLOSET: 70 YEARS OF ELEGANCE
Always color-coordinated
The English monarch's outfits are legendary. A coat with a weighted hem — to prevent wind-related wardrobe malfunctions — topped off with a perfectly matched hat. Her go-to accessory is often her signature black bag, that is roomy enough for lipstick, reading glasses, mints and a handkerchief.

Prince Charles 'tells brother Andrew to 'stay out of the line of sight' and BANISHES him from Windsor Castle' as he faces Virginia Giuffre sex trial in US

    Prince Andrew hasn't been seen near castle since being stripped of military roles
    He could be turned out of Royal Lodge when Charles becomes King, it is claimed
    A royal source told The Sun that 'Charles wants Andrew out of the line of sight'
    It follows Andrew's ex-massage therapist alleging he was a 'constant sex pest'

By Katie Weston For Mailonline

Published: 04:59 EST, 12 February 2022 | Updated: 05:01 EST, 12 February 2022



Prince Charles has told Andrew to stay out of the line of sight and could banish him from Windsor Castle ahead of his sex case trial in New York, according to reports.

The Prince of Wales, 73, is said to have felt deceived after his brother assured him three years ago the rumours surrounding his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, and paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein would go away.

The Duke of York, 61, hasn't been spotted near the castle since being stripped of his prestigious honorary military roles by the Queen last month.

And he could even be turned out of the Royal Lodge, where he lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and Windsor itself when Charles takes over as King, it is claimed.

The revelations follow Andrew's former massage therapist alleging the royal was a 'constant sex pest' who 'absolutely wanted more' when she massaged him.

Emma Gruenbaum, 50, claimed the Duke tried to hug her after massage sessions at the Royal Lodge and always insisted on being naked apart from a towel.

It doesn't hide a damned thing from prosecutors.  It hides it from the public, yes, but I was under the impression that private parties are allowed to agree between themselves to respect their private affairs.  I wasn't aware that the public's prurient interest in other people's private affairs was a legitimate reason for overriding those people's privacy.

Or is privacy no longer a "thing" for us on the right of the political spectrum?

Whatever he is, you, presumably, are a conservative/republican, so why are you trying to stick your nose into other peoples' private business?

And if you have evidence that proves he was involved in human trafficking of minors, why are you sitting on it and not disclosing it to the police?

Finally, as I said before, a settlement agreement doesn't hide bumpkus from the police or the prosecutors - they are just as much at liberty to investigate and subpoena as they were before; perhaps they aren't because such evidence doesn't exist.

I don't like it when wealthy people buy their way out of shared values or shared sacrifice.

Just because someone has the wealth to "buy carbon offsets for their private jets", "buy the silence of their victims", or "afford the best lawyers" does not make their behavior right.

Randy Andy sexually assaulted an underage girl, not an adult woman legally capable of consent.  That's what makes it a public matter, no different than the Catholic Church child sexual abuse scandals.

Persons and institutions of wealth and power have used a culture of silence prevent them from being held accountable for crimes against children, and other vulnerbale persons.

Rape of a minor is not a private matter, whether perpetrated by a member of NAMBLA or by a member the British Royal Family.

How could Charles not have known? Scotland Yard says it WILL investigate offer of knighthood for donations to Prince of Wales' charities - as royal says he is 'happy' to assist officers in any way


Quote

rince Charles faces being interviewed by police over an alleged ‘cash for honours’ scandal, it emerged last night.

Scotland Yard has announced an inquiry into claims surrounding his once closest aide, Michael Fawcett.

The bombshell for the royals comes less than 24 hours after the abject humiliation of Prince Andrew having to pay to resolve a sexual abuse lawsuit.

The police probe follows a Mail on Sunday revelation that Mr Fawcett allegedly offered to help Saudi billionaire Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz upgrade his honorary CBE to a knighthood – and support his application for British citizenship – in exchange for ‘generous’ donations to Charles’s charitable foundation.

Queen Elizabeth II tests positive for COVID-19
NY Post, Feb 20, 2022

Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for COVID-19, Buckingham Palace announced Sunday.

In a statement, the palace said the 95-year-old British monarch is experiencing “mild cold-like symptoms” and will continue with “light duties.”

She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines,” the read the statement.

The queen was inoculated against the virus in early 2021, and has since received a booster dose. 

The news comes after her eldest son Prince Charles earlier this month tested positive for the coronavirus for the second time; her daughter-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwalltime; contracted COVID-19 four days later.

The sovereign was then closely “monitored” after she came in contact with her son days before his COVID-19 diagnosis, before it was reported she’d be returning to work after negative tests.

Buckingham Palace aides have reportedly reworded a nursery rhyme to mock Prince Andrew over his roughly $12 million settlement with former Jeffrey Epstein sex slave Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

“The grand old Duke of York, he had 12 million quid. He gave it to someone he’d never met, for something he never did,” the new spin on the nursery rhyme goes, insiders told the Sunday Times.

Why Leaked Prince Harry Letter Spells Trouble for Prince Charles
By Jack Royston On 2/21/22 at 12:27 PM EST

Prince Harry's reported decision to cut ties with a controversial tycoon over "cash for access" fears has heaped fresh pressure on his father Prince Charles.

The Duke of Sussex was reportedly being courted by Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz with offers of a £1 million ($1.36 million) donation in 2014 when it apparently started to appear as though the tycoon wanted an in-person visit in Saudi Arabia in return for the money.

Harry's staffer Mark Dyer swiftly applied the brakes warning of "cash for access" concerns only to be told Prince Charles had suggested the trip, The Sunday Times reported, citing leaked emails. However, a palace source said Prince Charles did not encourage Harry to visit Saudi Arabia. ...

Police are now investigating whether the chief executive of Charles' charity, The Prince's Foundation, may have broken the law by offering help securing a knighthood and U.K. citizenship to the tycoon in return for donations.  ...

 Queen Elizabeth II will no longer call Buckingham Palace home: report
By Lee Brown   
March 7, 2022 10:30am


Queen Elizabeth II has permanently quit living in Buckingham Palace, according to a report.

“She has her memories with Prince Philip there, she has her ponies there and family nearby. It makes sense.”

The decision comes after a series of health scares for the Queen, who on Monday met Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Windsor Castle — in her first in-person engagement since falling ill with COVID-19.

In October, she also spent a night in the hospital for an unspecified ailment, scaling back her official duties and resting afterward on doctors’ orders.

The 95-year-old UK monarch, who called the palace home for most of her record-breaking 70-year reign, has decided to permanently reside in her weekend home, Windsor Castle, according to the Times of London.

The decision was based partly on an ongoing “reservicing” of the palace — but also Elizabeth’s preference for the castle, where she spent her last days with late husband Prince Philip, sources told the paper.

“Windsor is the place she loves,” one of her acquaintances, royal author and deputy lord lieutenant of Berkshire Hugo Vickers, told the UK Times.

Queen pulls out of attending Commonwealth Service

This is usually a significant occasion for the Queen and earlier in the week it had been hoped she would attend.

The decision is understood to be about concerns over her discomfort with travelling, rather than illness.

Prince Harry is also now not expected to come to the UK for a service of thanksgiving for Prince Philip, to be held later this month.

The message from Buckingham Palace does not mention the health of the 95-year-old Queen, but says not attending the Commonwealth Service on Monday was decided "after discussing arrangements with the Royal Household".

It is understood not to be related to an illness - but there have been concerns about the Queen's ability to travel and her mobility......

Harry and Meghan Try To Stay Relevant by Pushing Covid Fear Agenda

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined a celebrity and world leader call to supposedly warn the world that the “pandemic is not over”.
Nathaniel Charles12 Mar 2022, 1:55 PM PST

On Friday Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined a celebrity and world leader call to warn the world that supposedly the “pandemic is not over” as the world enters the third year of living with coronavirus.

The disgraced prince and his controversial wife have added their signatures to a letter from ‘The People’s Vaccine’ – a coronavirus vaccine lobby group – that has called for 70 per cent of the world to be vaccinated by mid-2022, and for vaccines to be provided “to everyone, everywhere”.

The organisation openly states in the letter that they condemn the approach taken so far by world leaders in an effort to tackle coronavirus as “immoral, entirely self-defeating and also an ethical, economic and epidemiological failure”, and instead called for “global solidarity”.

The People’s Vaccine have also highlighted they believe what they call a “failure to vaccinate the world so far is down to self-defeating nationalism, pharmaceutical monopolies and inequality”, which they suggest has unnecessarily prolonged the pandemic.

Harry is shameful.  He's the one that decided he didn't want the 'royal benefits' and left and also didn't want Archie to have a royal title -- now he's whimpering like a baby. If he's willing to pay for his own security, I'm not seeing why he doesn't feel safe.  Sounds like a spoiled brat who didn't get his way.  Denying his grandmother the chance to see her great grandchild (supposedly named after the Queen) is just despicable.

He really has become a terrible little cry-baby.

I know that the UK has comprehensive laws that regulate how, when, and to whom members of the royal family can get married.  I would strongly suggest that they prohibit any member of the royal family in future from marrying an American divorcee, because the last two times that was done, the results were terrible.

Prince William and Duchess Kate Arrive in Belize for Caribbean Tour

Back to work! In honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s milestone Platinum Jubilee, Prince William and Duchess Kate embarked on a Caribbean tour to experience other countries in the British Commonwealth.

“Arriving in Belize, the first stop of our Caribbean tour! 🇧🇿 🇯🇲 🇧🇸,” a Saturday, March 19, post on the 39-year-old Duke of Cambridge and the 40-year-old Duchess of Cambridge’s official Instagram account read.

The married couple — who wed in 2011 — stepped off their private plane where they were treated to a military welcome. Kate, for her part, wore a blue Jenny Packham blazer and skirt with matching heels. William sported a coordinating blue suit as they stepped off the tarmac. The blue hues were nods to the country’s royal color.

The pair’s arrival in Belize marks their first destination on their Caribbean tour, which also includes visits to Jamaica and the Bahamas.

After their warm welcome on Saturday, the twosome have a packed scheduled to see the sights on Sunday, March 20. After visiting a cacao producer to learn more about the country’s famed Maya chocolate making, they will spend time with the Garifuna culture in Hopkins, per an Instagram Story post via their official account. They will also learn about Belize’s marine conservation efforts...............

I had no idea.  I am hoping it is not true; this would be yet another Royal scandal.  I went and read bits and pieces from different tabloids and what does stand out is that Rose was pregnant with twins and married within several days to someone much older than her -- it was a quick trip to the altar.

From Charles and Princess Di and his affair with Camilla and Princess Di's death, and then Prince Andrew's involvement with Epstein Island along with all the shenanigans of Harry and Markle, I hope that William and Kate will be without scandal.  The poor Queen!

I know for a time when they were dating , William broke up with Kate, but I think he probably realized she was a one in a million girl and the other girls couldn’t hold a candle to her.

I read somewhere years ago that Kate had a crush on him since she was a teenager.

Prince Andrew to Exit from Public Life Following Prince Philip’s Memorial: Report

Nathaniel Charles 23 Mar 2022

Prince Andrew will reportedly be attending a memorial service for his father Prince Philip next Tuesday, with courtiers believing he will retire from public life afterwards.

Despite risking being a major distraction from the service, Prince Andrew, 62, will be attending the Prince Philip thanksgiving memorial service on the 29th of March at Westminster Abbey.

The event that will commemorate Prince Philip’s life has been organised by Queen Elizabeth II, 95, who is celebrating the year of her Platinum Jubilee, which marks 70 years of service to the British people.

Royal sources speaking to the Daily Mail said that they believe Andrew will “disappear from public life” after the memorial for his father.

The Duke of York first distanced himself from public duties in 2019 after billionaire in light of his connections to diseased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Following an out-of-court settlement with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts née Giuffre, who claimed Prince Andrew sexually assaulted her when she was 17, Andrew has since avoided major public appearances. Andrew has continued to maintain his innocence, however.

Andrew was visibly not present at the Commonwealth Service in Westminster Abbey on the 14th of March despite other senior royals attending including the Prince of Wales and Camilla as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

This comes as a complete surprise to me.

Prince William suggests he may not succeed the Queen and his father as head of the Commonwealth

The Duke of Cambridge has acknowledged that he may not succeed the Queen and the Prince of Wales as head of the Commonwealth, as he vowed not to be "telling people what to do".

Reflecting on his eight-day Caribbean tour, the Duke spoke candidly about how it had "brought into even sharper focus" questions about the past and the future.

It followed a last-minute change to a speech in which he acknowledged that relationships with Commonwealth countries would “evolve”, as he sought to change the narrative of a tour that has been criticised for being out of touch and rooted in the past.

As they boarded a flight home, the Duke said: “Catherine and I are committed to service. For us, that's not telling people what to do. It is about serving and supporting them in whatever way they think best, by using the platform we are lucky to have.

“It is why tours such as this reaffirm our desire to serve the people of the Commonwealth and to listen to communities around the world. Who the Commonwealth chooses to lead its family in the future isn't what is on my mind.

“What matters to us is the potential the Commonwealth family has to create a better future for the people who form it, and our commitment to serve and support as best we can.”

In 2018, Commonwealth leaders decided that the Prince of Wales should succeed the Queen in the honorary, non-hereditary position. There have been suggestions that it might be rotated among Commonwealth leaders........

Pictures: Tearful Queen Elizabeth II, Royal Family Attend Memorial for Prince Phillip

About 1,800 family members and guests attended the memorial. Only 30 people were allowed at the funeral, conducted under strict lockdown rules that forced the queen to sit alone wearing a black mask as she mourned the loss of her husband of 73 years. Philip, duke of Edinburgh, died on April 9 at age 99.

The Rev. David Conner remembered Philip’s service to the queen and dedication to environmental protection and his commitment to equipping young people with the skills they need to succeed through his Duke of Edinburgh Award.

“Through his passionate commitment, he drew others to himself in admiration and respect and, in the case of those who lived and worked most closely to him, genuine love,” Conner said.

There were also subtler honors, delivered as the royals often do through their clothing choices. Elizabeth, her daughter, Princess Anne, and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, were all dressed in dark green – echoing Philip’s livery color of Edinburgh Green.

Princess Charlotte stole the show while adorable Prince George looked typically serious as they joined their parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Prince Philip's service of thanksgiving today.

Cheeky Charlotte, six, charmed the Archbishop of Canterbury and smiled to photographers as she made her grand entrance at Westminster Abbey.

At one point the schoolgirl princess pulled a funny face after apparently catching sight of herself on a screen, prompting viewers to giggle over her 'sparkling' personality. 

In contrast her eight-year-old brother George - dressed as his daddy's double in a suit and tie - looked far more sombre, perhaps because he had a better understanding of the gravity of the situation.

So sad that the two brothers are no longer close.  Things were just fine prior to Markle.  I've seen it happen many times; a snot-nosed biotch can destroy a family!

Prince Harry ‘Won’t Be Invited’ to Prince William’s 40th Birthday Party—Here’s Why

It seems Prince Harry’s Prince William birthday invite won’t be going out in the mail anytime soon. The Duke of Cambridge has reportedly decided not to invite his younger brother, or Meghan Markle, to his milestone 40th birthday party over the summer.

William turns 40 on June 21, 2022. According to Heatworld, the future king reportedly worries it will “bring a whole fresh set of problems” if his brother Prince Harry and his wife Meghan attend his birthday party in the U.K. An insider who spoke to the site in March 2022 revealed that Harry and William’s relationship has only continued to sour following the Duke of Sussex’s decision to not attend their grandfather Prince Philip’s memorial service, which took place in London nearly a year after the Duke of Edinburgh passed away at the age of 99 in April 2021.

“William still loves Harry—that will never change—but his apparent insensitivity makes him persona non grata at the moment and it will take some miracle for that to change,” the source, who was identified as being close to William himself, told the site.

The insider went on to note William has little in common with his little brother anymore, and is concerned over what his presence in the U.K. would be mean right now. “The feeling is that, even if Harry and Meghan decided to come to William’s celebration, and that is a big if, their presence would bring a whole fresh set of problems, and nobody wants that,” the source said. “The sad truth is that William barely recognizes, let alone relates to, his younger brother anymore.”............

Buckingham Palace Reveals Queen Elizabeth Will Not Attend Easter Week Service

Buckingham Palace announced on Friday that Queen Elizabeth is bowing out of an Easter week event and that Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, will attend in her place.

The palace said that the 95-year-old monarch would not attend the Royal Maundy Service at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on Thursday, ahead of Easter Sunday.

The palace did not specify the reason for the queen’s cancelation. Reporter Victoria Murphy of Town & Country said that it was understood the queen “was unable to commit to this event in advance and was keen to avoid overshadowing the event on the day.”

The queen’s health has been called into question over the past few months. She was hospitalized in October and tested positive for COVID-19 in February.................

This is not good.  I think that the Queen may be forced to step down soon for health reasons.  I'm fond of the Queen and am sorry to hear this as well as she won't be attending Easter service.

Queen pulls out of annual Maundy Day church service for the first time

The Queen has pulled out of attending the annual Maundy Day church service and will be represented for the first time by the Prince of Wales, Buckingham Palace has said.

The monarch, 95, was due to attend the service at St George's Chapel in Windsor on the Thursday before Easter Sunday.

It has been reported the Queen, who has been experiencing mobility issues, was unable to commit to the event, which is an important fixture in the royal calendar.

With the order of service being printed, she was said to be keen for the arrangements to be confirmed to avoid any misunderstanding or the day to be overshadowed.................

I agree that this is not good news.  She isn't my queen, but she does represent a symbol of stability and continuity in the crazy day and age, and that is valuable to all of us.  I hope that it is just mobility issues, and not worse (although, at her age, lack of mobility can be fatal).

Queen opens up on Covid hell - Monarch left 'exhausted' as she bemoans 'horrible pandemic'



Quote

Queen says she was ‘tired and exhausted’ during bout of Covid

Her Majesty, 95, contracted COVID-19 in February, and experienced “mild cold-like symptoms”, according to Buckingham Palace. In a statement, the Palace said the Queen planned to continue with “light duties” from Windsor Castle.

They added: "She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines.”

The Queen tested positive for the virus two days after her son, Prince Charles, revealed he had also contracted the disease.

He had met with his mother on February 8, before testing positive two days later.

A number of people within the Royal household at Windsor contracted Covid at the same time.

It’s a really sad thing to a great many people. Meghan seems to answer some huge need in Harry and it seems like they are in a powerful co-dependency. And I do question how it will end.”

Perhaps, she muses, “he’ll wake up and realize he’s living in Goop [Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle website] and he has to get the hell out, go down the pub and see his friends.” ...

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex met the Queen at Windsor Castle yesterday for the first time since they stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2020.

The couple arrived yesterday morning, according to reports, and are believed to have used Frogmore Cottage, the home used by Princess Eugenie and her family, as a base.

It is understood that they attended the Maundy Thursday service, which the Queen missed for the first time since 1970, because of mobility issues, prompting the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall to step in.

A spokesman for Harry and Meghan confirmed their visit and said that they had stopped off in the UK on their way to The Hague in the Netherlands to attend the Invictus games. They visited the Queen’s official residence for a meeting with the 95-year-old monarch and Prince Charles, who was there with the Duchess of Cornwall. ...

Harry and Meghan have been accused of 'exploiting the Queen for Netflix' and making their top-secret trip for 'clear the air talks' with the elderly monarch and Prince Charles at Windsor to please American producers of their upcoming documentary.

A royal expert has claimed that the duke and duchess, who have not been in the UK together since they acrimoniously quit as senior working royals more than two years ago, made the secret visit 'all for their Netflix documentary'.

Speaking to MailOnline, Meghan's acid-penned biographer Tom Bower sensationally branded the Sussexes 'the Royal Family's worst traducers' and accused the couple of 'exploiting an old, unwell woman to boost their credibility and coffers'.

Meanwhile, royal correspondent Robert Jobson said that it was 'significant' that William and Kate were not involved in the meeting. The brothers' relationship has been at rock bottom since Harry pressed the nuclear button on his royal life. 

Netflix is expected to send a camera crew to follow Harry and Meghan when they meet the Ukraine team at the Invictus Games for injured military veterans in The Netherlands for their documentary about the Paralympic-style games.

In and out in 15 tense minutes: RICHARD KAY on the sombre reunion between Meghan, Harry and 'broken-hearted' Charles - the first since Megxit and THOSE Oprah allegations - which came at the Queen's command and may decide Duke and Duchess's future as Royals

    Prince Harry met with the Queen and Prince Charles for first time since 'Megxit' at Windsor earlier this week
    He and wife Meghan are believed to have talked to Prince Charles for 15 minutes during the meeting
    They then went to the Queen's apartment where atmosphere was 'a lot less edgy', according to royal sources

By Richard Kay, Daily Mail Editor At Large

Published: 17:01 EDT, 15 April 2022 | Updated: 03:59 EDT, 16 April 2022

Only the weather was the same. A bright sun shone from a blue sky just as it did on that May morning almost four years ago when Prince Harry took his new bride home through cheering crowds to Windsor Castle in a horse drawn carriage. Everything else had changed.

This time, husband and wife retreated behind the blacked-out windows of a people carrier for the short drive from their former home, Frogmore Cottage, to the castle.

And instead of thousands of well-wishers lining the route there was a rather modest turn out of spectators gathering for the spectacle of the Maundy Thursday service at St George’s chapel.

Queen celebrates 96th birthday in Sandringham

The Queen is celebrating her 96th birthday on Thursday in Sandringham.

Britain's longest-reigning monarch travelled by helicopter to her Norfolk estate, where she is being joined by family and friends.

She is thought to be staying in a cottage particularly liked by her late husband, Prince Philip.

A photograph has been released to mark the birthday, showing the Queen with two ponies and reflecting her lifelong interest in horses.

The picture was taken at Windsor Castle, where the Queen now mostly stays, and shows her with two Fell ponies, who will appear in the forthcoming Royal Windsor Horse Show.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Chose Not to Address Prince Harry's Comments About the Queen

The Cambridges ignored a question about Prince Harry's Today show interview, where he cryptically said he wants to make sure Queen Elizabeth is "protected."

In London today, Prince William and Kate Middleton stepped out to visit the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) headquarters. There, they learned about the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal and the work being done to respond to the crisis in Ukraine.

As they were leaving, however, the focus remained on family drama: a reporter asked the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, "Sir, does the Queen need protecting?" referring to Prince Harry's interview with the Today show yesterday, when he said of Queen Elizabeth, "I'm just making sure she's protected and has got the right people around her."

Prince William and Kate did not respond to the reporter, and got into their waiting car and left the DEC. However, the question undoubtedly speaks to the ongoing fallout between Prince Harry and other members of the British Royal Family.......

Wrong way up, Meghan! Duchess suffers awkward gaffe as she paints Ukrainian flag upside DOWN in snaps taken by her personal photographer at Invictus Games

HARRIET JOHNSTON  |  20 April 2022  |  06:05 EDT


The Duchess of Sussex suffered an awkward gaffe over the weekend after she was photographed painting the Ukrainian flag upside down.

In images released yesterday, Meghan Markle, 40, showed off her maternal side when she joined British Invictus Games families at a book reading on Sunday.

In one snap, the mother-of-two could be seen carefully writing the word 'peace' onto a yellow and blue painting which, at first glance, appeared to be the Ukrainian flag.

excerpt:

For all his easy-going charm and huge popularity, Harry was not heir in line to the throne; he had slipped to sixth and, as Brown notes ‘when Kate became Queen, Meghan would have to curtsy to her’.

In the book, Brown shines a fascinating and waspish light on Meghan’s life just as she was meeting Harry and how her then blog, The Tig, was a dragnet for luxury freebies.

‘She won a reputation among the marketers of luxury brands of being warmly interested in receiving bags of designer swag.’

A publicist is quoted as saying she had been copied in to a message from a member of Meghan’s team after she became Duchess of Sussex.

‘Make sure [the publicist] knows that she can still send me anything. She’s always been one of the good ones.’

Brown offers a Hollywood insight into that famous three-way row between Harry, Meghan and Angela Kelly, the Queen’s dresser and assistant, over the choice of tiara to be worn at the wedding.

‘Meghan did not — or could not — perceive the difference between the Queen’s personal aide and a contract stylist at NBC Universal.’

With his rows over ‘what Meghan wants, Meghan gets’, Harry, she said, had morphed into ‘groomzilla’.

An aide is said to have described their confrontational stance as a mutual ‘addiction to drama’.

Sources have told the Daily Mail that the prince appeared mollified at the plans put in place when he and Meghan visited the Queen at Windsor last week.

The couple brought over their own private bodyguards from the US but stayed on the Queen’s Windsor estate and received a Special Escort Group (SEG) detail when travelling outside.

The SEG provides mobile armed protection to both royals and government ministers.

DUKE OF HAZARD Prince Andrew STRIPPED of York title after fury over Virginia Giuffre rape case settlement

    Anthony BlairPaul Sims

    13:29 ET, Apr 27 2022Updated: 16:45 ET, Apr 27 2022

PRINCE Andrew has been stripped of another honour after the city of York agreed to remove his title as Honorary Freeman.

The underfire royal was given the freedom of the city of York in a lavish ceremony in 1987, shortly after his marriage to Sarah Ferguson.

On Wednesday, York City Council voted to remove his status as an Honorary Freeman in an extraordinary full council meeting.

The council took just 40 minutes to reach the decision to strip the Queen's favourite son of his titles.

One speaker described the Duke as an "utter disgrace who brings shame wherever he goes. He needs to be declared persona non grata in York".

Prince Andrew has refused to leave his £1m a year Royal Lodge despite his being stripped of many of his royal and military honours.

Prince William plans Palace revolution to modernise the monarchy: Duke of Cambridge 'holds crisis meeting with aides' after string of public relations blunders during tour of the Caribbean

By JONATHAN ROSE FOR MAILONLINE
30 April 2022

Prince William has 'held a crisis meeting with aides' as he plans a Palace revolution to modernise the monarchy.

The future of the monarchy and the Commonwealth came under scrutiny after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's tour of the Caribbean.

Their intense eight-day long tour around Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas saw the couple face backlash after encountering tensions in the Caribbean nations.

It has been reported that the Duke of Cambridge had 'abrupt' talks with aides about the 'haphazard planning' of the tour.

Royal sources revealed to The Mirror that he is 'determined' to update the institution after struggling to 'move on' from the bad press and will complete a root-and-branch review.

I think she looks like QE2 too!

Queen won't be attending state opening of Parliament


Quote


The Queen will not be attending tomorrow's state opening of Parliament - only the third time in her reign she has failed to do so, Buckingham Palace has said.

The Prince of Wales will read the Queen's Speech on her behalf.

During the ceremony the monarch reads out the government's plans for upcoming legislation.

Before now, the Queen has only missed the opening of Parliament twice during her time on the throne - in 1959 and 1963 when she was pregnant.

It is the latest in a number of events she has been forced to miss in recent months.

 Queen Elizabeth, 96, cancels appearance due to ‘episodic mobility problems’

By Eileen Reslen

May 9, 2022 | 4:45pm

Queen Elizabeth II will not be attending a royal engagement on Tuesday due to health issues.

Her Royal Highness, 96, “continues to experience episodic mobility problems,” Buckingham Palace revealed in a statement released on Monday.

The Palace added that in “consultation with her doctors,” the Queen has “reluctantly decided that she will not attend the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow.”

The statement concluded by sharing that Prince Charles will take over her duties at the event.

“At Her Majesty’s request, and with the agreement of the relevant authorities, The Prince of Wales will read The Queen’s speech on Her Majesty’s behalf, with The Duke of Cambridge also in attendance,” it read.

Queen Elizabeth II contracted COVID-19 in February. Although Charles, 73, shared in March that his mother was doing “better,” mobility issues in the elderly can be a side effect of the coronavirus.

Prince Charles to open UK parliament for first time after Queen Elizabeth II forced to miss it over mobility issues

By Lee Brown
May 10, 2022

Prince Charles was due Tuesday to formally open Britain’s Parliament for the first time after his 96-year-old mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was forced to miss the key ceremony for the first time in nearly 60 years.

Charles was set to deliver the Queen’s Speech at the formal opening because his monarch mother was forced to skip it due to “episodic mobility problems,” Buckingham Palace had confirmed Monday.

The palace said that “in consultation with her doctors has reluctantly decided that she will not attend the State Opening of Parliament.”

The queen has only missed two previous state openings during her 70-year reign, in 1959 and 1963, when she was pregnant with sons Andrew and Edward, respectively.

“At Her Majesty’s request, and with the agreement of the relevant authorities, The Prince of Wales will read the queen’s speech on Her Majesty’s behalf,” the palace said of Charles, the 73-year-old heir to the throne.

He will be supported at the grand set-piece ceremony by his eldest son, Prince William, 39, who is also destined to be a future king as second in line to the throne.

Standing ovation! Her Majesty is clapped and cheered as she gets to her feet while watching Royal Windsor Horse Show... three days after pulling out of state opening of Parliament due to her health

By MARTIN ROBINSON, CHIEF REPORTER
13 May 2022

The delighted Queen took home a cup today at her first public appearance since missing the State Opening of Parliament.

Her Majesty was back on her feet and brimming with excitement as she visited the Royal Windsor Horse Show - one of her favourite events of the year - despite ongoing mobility problems.

The 96-year-old monarch, wearing sunglasses, pink lipstick and dressed casually in a white blouse and dark cardigan, looked in good health and spirits as she watched her horse Balmoral Leia compete at the show that marks the beginning of her official Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Queen, 96, walks to her seat at Platinum Jubilee celebration and is all smiles as the nation salutes her 70 years of service joined by celebs including Tom Cruise amid pageantry at Windsor Castle
Daily Mail, May 15, 2022

The Queen was all smiles last night as she walked to her seat at the first of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations  -where an all-star lineup including Dame Helen Mirren, Tom Cruise and Katherine Jenkins performed alongside equestrian, military and musical talent from all over the world.

Making her second public appearance in three days, Her Majesty, 96, was greeted with a standing ovation at Windsor Castle and was all smiles as she made her way to her seat in the royal box.

Organisers of the horseback event at Windsor Castle, entitled A Gallop Through History, had always hoped the 96-year-old monarch would attend as their guest of honour. But given her recent mobility issues, nothing was confirmed until last night.

The Queen reached the event by car with an escort from the Household Cavalry as the national anthem was played. She handed her now familiar walking stick to a member of the greeting party as she carefully eased herself down from her Range Rover – in which she was accompanied by her youngest son, Prince Edward.

Cheers from the 5,000-strong crowd rang through the arena as she received a standing ovation.

The elderly monarch smiled broadly at the welcome and had clearly dressed for the occasion in an iced-blue sequinned dress, around which she had draped a grey embellished wrap against the chill.

The Queen then carefully made her way to her seat in the Royal Box - flanked by Simon Brooks-Ward, 45, a Territorial Army officer and friend of the royals - away from the glare of the cameras.

The 96-year-old Queen appeared happier than ever as she sat comfortably in the vehicle, manufactured by the Danish brand Garia. The four-seated cruiser, dubbed the “Rolls-Royce” of golf carts, reportedly costs nearly $78,000. ...

Meghan Markle makes surprise appearance in Uvalde where she lays bouquet of white roses at memorial honoring 19 kids and two teachers shot dead in elementary school massacre

    Meghan Markle on Thursday visited Uvalde, Texas to pay tribute to the victims of the deadly shooting there
    She laid a bouquet of white roses at an impromptu memorial outside the Uvalde County Courthouse
    The flowers were laid at a cross honoring eight-year-old boy Uziyah Garcia, the youngest victim killed
    Markle did not address the press as she visited the memorial surrounded by news crews and cameras
    Accompanying her was bodyguard Alberto Alvarez, who once handled protection for Michael Jackson
    The trip from her California home was unannounced, and comes as her own father recovers from stroke
    Markle was dressed casually, but sported a $7K Cartier Love Bracelet and Princess Diana's $23K Cartier watch

By Keith Griffith For Dailymail.com

Published: 14:10 EDT, 26 May 2022 | Updated: 15:23 EDT, 26 May 2022

Paying her respects in Texas, Markle was dressed incognito in a simple T shirt, jeans and ballcap, but nevertheless sported on her left wrist a $6,900 Cartier Love Bracelet and Princess Diana's $23,000 Cartier Tank Watch.

It was unclear whether Markle's husband Prince Harry, who lives with her and their two children in Montecito, accompanied her on her journey to Texas, but he was not seen at the memorial with her.

The Queen will meet the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's daughter Lilibet for the first time at the soon-to-be one-year-old's birthday party during Jubilee celebrations.

The 96-year-old monarch, who Lilibet is named after, is likely to miss her favourite sporting event, the Derby horse races at Epsom, for the little one's birthday.

Since she was born on 4 June 2021, parents Prince Harry and Meghan have only been to the UK once, in a fleeting visit where they made a detour to see Her Majesty while on their way to the Invictus Games in The Hague in April.

Her first birthday is set to be celebrated at Frogmore Cottage next Saturday, just a stone's throw away from Windsor Castle. Princess Eugenie and her family have vacated the Cottage ahead of their arrival'

In their first trip to the UK with Archie and Lilibet, Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, are going to stay at the property during their four-day trip over to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Baby Lilibet, was born in California unlike her brother Archie, three, who was born at London's Portland Hospital, a Royal favourite. The Queen met Archie two days after he was born on 6 May 2019.

When Lilibet meets little Lilibet... the picture that might yet heal the royal rift: One of the Queen's favourite photos is of her meeting newborn Archie. Now there's an even more poignant moment approaching, writes RICHARD KAY

By Richard Kay for the Daily Mail

Published: 17:04 EDT, 1 June 2022 | Updated: 17:31 EDT, 1 June 2022

   

Not for the first time in the Queen’s long reign, all eyes will be on the Buckingham Palace balcony at lunchtime today as the Trooping the Colour ceremony makes way for the ear-splitting roar of an RAF flypast.

Over the years, this tableau has offered an engrossing glimpse of who’s in and who’s out, as once-familiar figures were shuffled to the margins of royal life.

This time, howver, the spectacle is set to be rivalled by another event, with far more riding on the outcome.

Platinum Jubilee: Who will be with the Queen on the balcony?

From royal wedding kisses to celebrations at the end of wars, the balcony at Buckingham Palace in London has been the stage for national moments since Queen Victoria first stepped out there in 1851.

For the Platinum Jubilee, the balcony will once again provide the photo frame for a big occasion, with Queen Elizabeth II and 17 other members of the Royal Family due to appear on Thursday after Trooping the Colour.

"There's been a lot of chat about who is going to be there and who is not," says Pauline Maclaran of the Centre for the Study of Modern Monarchy at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Only "working royals" and their children will appear, which excludes the Queen's son Prince Andrew, and her grandson Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex....................

When is it? 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET (10 a.m. to 1 a.m. local time)

What is it? Trooping the Color is a ceremonial parade that honors the British sovereign's birthday.

While the queen turned 96 on April 21, her birthday is always celebrated nationally in June — usually on the month's second Saturday.

While celebrations have annually for the past 260 years, this year's Trooping the Color is special because it aligns with the Platinum Jubilee.

During the parade, the queen will travel by horse and carriage out of Buckingham Palace, down the Mall and to the Horses Guard Parade. The event will feature nearly 1,500 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians.

It all culminates in a "balcony moment," with the queen and her family waving from Buckingham Palace.

How to watch: SkyNews will stream the event through their YouTube channel, and it will be covered on NBC News as well as other networks, like ABC.

She’s been Queen longer or as long as some of us have been alive.

Seriously, how many people who are alive can really say they remember her father  King George VI?

Not many. You would pretty much have to be an octogenarian or older.or at least 75, right?

*Slimmed down Royal Family line-up joined the Queen on Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour

*Just 17 working royals were invited, compared to the 40 who were present last time event was held in 2019

*Queen made the decision to include only working royals in order to avoid awkwardness over Prince Andrew

*Also avoided any issues around Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, who watched Trooping the Colour

Kids are going to be kids and I find Kate and Williams' kids to be adorably cute; each in their own way. Yep, Louis is a card.

Gee ... still no pics of Harry and the Wench's kids.  My hunch is they don't quite fit in with the usual 'royalty' photos.

This day in Royal History, 1937,

The former King Edward VIII marries Mrs. Simpson
Having abdicated the British throne after a reign of only 326 days, the former King Edward VIII marries the twice-divorced Wallis Simpson at a French chateau. Edward's decision to choose the woman he loves over his kingdom has caused a domestic crisis, with war on Britain's horizon.

The Queen Mum, Elizabeth’s mum never forgave him for this. I can’t help but wonder if Edward VIII hadn’t abdicated, Elizabeth’s father wouldn’t have become king, and might Elizabeth had ever become queen?

Reign of fire! Queen lights first of 3,500 beacons that span the length and breadth of Britain marking her Platinum Jubilee - despite 'discomfort' after balcony appearance that has forced her to miss tomorrow’s St Paul's service
Daily Mail/UK, Jun 2, 2022

* Monarch, 96, has made third public appearance following Trooping the Colour at Buckingham Palace today
* It comes as she has pulled out of Friday's Platinum Jubilee thanksgiving service after experiencing discomfort
* But putting her mobility issues aside, she took part in a special dual ceremony with her grandson William
* She walked slowly and slightly gingerly using her by now familiar walking stick before lighting the beacon

As for Prince William and Kate Middleton, they received the loudest cheers of the morning.

Harry and Meghan return to their Windsor home while other senior royals mingle with guests at jubilee reception after William and Kate keep their distance at carefully stage-managed service at St Paul's Cathedral

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to their Windsor home of Frogmore Cottage this afternoon, leaving the rest of the Royal Family to attend a reception without them following the Service of Thanksgiving for the Queen.

The Duke of Sussex was seen smiling next to his wife while being driven in a Range Rover with another car carrying security personnel behind, after what was the couple's first joint royal engagement in two years.

They had been at St Paul's Cathedral for the service, but were kept apart from Prince William, Kate, Prince Charles and Camilla after royal aides ensured they sat on the other side of the aisle - and they later left separately.

Prince Harry and Meghan's pal Omid Scobie insists there 'is still opportunity in the days ahead' for Lilibet to meet her cousins George, Charlotte, and Louis for the first time - after revealing Queen has FINALLY met her namesake

    Scobie, 40, says door is still open for a meet-up between the Sussexes' son and daughter and their cousins, Prince William and Kate Middleton's three children
    The royal biographer told GMA that Harry and Meghan's 'priorities' on their trip to the UK were 'celebrating the Queen' and 'introducing her to their daughter'
    According to Scobie, Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, introduced Lilibet to the Queen, who was nicknamed Lilibet as a child, at Windsor on Thursday
    It came after the Sussexes attended a private Royal Family lunch at Buckingham Palace following Trooping the Colour
    Of the behind-the-scenes tensions between the Sussexes and other members of the Royal Family, Scobie said they have 'put any difficulties to one side'

Queen will miss Epsom Derby tomorrow, Buckingham Palace says


Quote

The Queen will not attend the Epsom Derby on Saturday, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

The monarch, a keen racehorse owner and breeder, is expected to watch the major sporting event on television at Windsor Castle.

There had been speculation the Queen would not appear at the horse race due to the ongoing mobility issues she experienced during her two appearances on Thursday.

    * Follow MailOnline's liveblog covering the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations today by clicking here *

By Mark Duell and Harry Howard For Mailonline and Rebecca English, Royal Editor For The Daily Mail

Published: 03:30 EDT, 3 June 2022 | Updated: 08:46 EDT, 3 June 2022

The Queen has reportedly met her great-granddaughter Lilibet for the first time after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had lunch with the monarch and senior royals behind closed doors as part of Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have introduced their little girl to the Queen - nicknamed Lilibet as a child - yesterday at Windsor after attending a private Royal Family lunch at Buckingham Palace following Trooping the Colour.

News of the Queen's alleged meeting with Lilibet yesterday – which comes ahead of her first birthday tomorrow – was revealed on BBC Breakfast today by royal commentator Omid Scobie, who is friendly with the Sussexes.

He said: 'I think people are expecting some sort of big birthday extravagant event, that we're going to see photographs from. From what I'm told, we shouldn't expect anything. Those moments with Lilibet are very much private between them and the Queen and of course we know how much she's been looking forward to it.

'They've been held back by a pandemic. Of course the times that Harry has been here it's just been by himself for quite sombre occasions. And so this really was the first time. Of course we know the Queen went back to Windsor Castle yesterday, the couple went back to Windsor as well where they're staying at Frogmore Cottage. So that would have been the first moment or the first chance for her to meet her namesake.'

Harry and Meghan are expected to remain mostly low-profile over the four-day Jubilee weekend, with no sign of the Netflix cameras that followed them around at the Invictus Games in the Netherlands in April. But they will attend today's Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral - their first joint royal engagement in two years.

Charles is a difficult person to read, but I think he must feel some heartache because of Harry's choices. Obviously, perhaps some embarrassment as well.

Chivalrous Charles! Sweet moment Prince of Wales blows a kiss to daughter-in-law Kate Middleton to greet her at St Paul's - before keeping Harry and Meghan at a tactful distance in carefully choreographed ceremony

    Prince Charles showed a moment of warm affection towards daughter-in-law Kate Middleton, 40, at service
    As the four greeted each other inside St Paul's Cathedral Charles warmly blew Duchess of Cambridge a kiss
    However, the heir to the throne was not seen interacting with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
    Event was carefully stage-managed to keep Sussexes apart from Cambridges, Charles and Camilla

Chivalrous Charles! Sweet moment Prince of Wales blows a kiss to daughter-in-law Kate Middleton to greet her at St Paul's - before keeping Harry and Meghan at a tactful distance in carefully choreographed ceremony

    Prince Charles showed a moment of warm affection towards daughter-in-law Kate Middleton, 40, at service
    As the four greeted each other inside St Paul's Cathedral Charles warmly blew Duchess of Cambridge a kiss
    However, the heir to the throne was not seen interacting with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
    Event was carefully stage-managed to keep Sussexes apart from Cambridges, Charles and Camilla

Sounds like Charles has learned a thing or two about being a Royal since his younger days.

I feel badly for the Queen and admire her. I can guarantee that if I had to "stand and deliver" like she did, I would be down for the count. And I'm not even close to her age.

If it had been me I probably would have opted to going to the horse race (which I would love) and foregoing the other hub-pub. But, of course, I'm not Queen.

I had read that William and Kate had other obligations, but I agree, they couldn't arrange to celebrate on a day that the family could all gather?

I couldn't agree more; Harry and Markle are selfish and both want to be the center of attention.

Harry and Meghan finally got what they deserve — a chorus of royally loud boos
NY Post, Jun 3, 2022, Maureen Callahan

(https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/harry-meghan-2.jpg?quality=75&strip=all)

Finally, Harry and Meghan got what they deserve: boos!

That smug smile, at long last, has been wiped off Meghan’s face. Actual tears, not her usual crocodile variety, welled up. She was visibly unnerved.

Makes sense. Like all malignant narcissists, Meghan is only capable of feeling sorry for herself. Lest we forget Meghan, the grand duchess, standing among impoverished, starving African children and griping — to a broadcast interviewer! — “Not many people have asked me if I’m OK.”

May I be among the first to ask: So, Meghan, how are you feeling now?

After two years of accusing the British royal family of everything from wishing Meghan would kill herself to being racist toward her unborn baby to being held literal prisoner by royal staffers to accusing Kate Middleton of making Meghan cry — while branding themselves as eco-warrior-humanitarian-mental-health-experts, motto, for real, “Be kind” — these two get their comeuppance.

It’s exquisite.

Turns out the royals know a bit about mental health and manipulators themselves, because they’ve deployed the only tactic that works: the gray rock. It’s like dealing with toddlers having tantrums — you just ignore, ignore, ignore until they tire themselves out.

The royals have played the long game, brilliantly putting the Sussexes in a no-win situation: Decline their invite and look mean, petty and vengeful, slighting the ailing queen on her historic jubilee. Accept and get the coldest of shoulders before an audience of billions.

Get the message now, kids?

How gratifying to see H&M shuffled off to the cheap seats in the second row, across the aisle from Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, none of whom cast a glance their way. How elegantly the BRF has slid in the knife: no official portraits with the queen, no appearance on the balcony, no access to any royals of consequence in public.

Harry and Meghan are royals now in name only.

Hey, they always said they just wanted to be regular people, right?

H&M weren’t even in attendance at the buffet luncheon after Friday’s service. Will and Kate were, though.

Instead, those two slunk off to Frogmore Cottage, that dump they spent millions in taxpayer funds renovating before fleeing to Montecito.

One can imagine Harry and Meghan frantically doom-scrolling through their media coverage while drowning their sorrows in kale juice and victimhood, plotting how they might commodify this latest injustice.

After all, they’ll need the money. Charles stopped paying the bills over a year ago. Spotify isn’t happy. Neither is Netflix. George Clooney, Oprah — even Gayle won’t take their calls.

Even worse, this jubilee weekend was supposed to give Harry tons of material for his big tell-all memoir. All he’s going home with is a sad view from the second row.

Harry and Meghan celebrated their daughter Lilibet's first birthday in Windsor yesterday with a 'relaxed' birthday party —with royal second cousins invited to the festivities.

The couple held an informal garden party at Frogmore Cottage, on the royal estate, with a birthday cake, balloons, party games and picnic snacks, it is understood.

]The little girl's birthday party was open to Zara and Mike Tindall's three children, Mia, eight, Lena, three, and Lucas, one, as well as Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10, daughters of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly.

Three-year-old Archie's godfather, Charlie Van Straubenzee, and his brother Tom, godfather to Princess Charlotte, were also invited, it is understood.


'It was a lovely do and had everything you’d expect from a child’s birthday party,' a source told The Sun. 'The idea was for it to be very relaxed and casual, with people free to pop in and out as they wished.'

They said that it was a 'nice opportunity' for some of the royal children to meet little Lilibet, with this trip being her first time in the UK.

They added that 'lots of discussion' had been had about the best gifts for the 'milestone' birthday, with a '£75 pink Volkswagen Beetle ride-on toy' proving a popular idea.

If only Ms. Callahan could tell us how she really feels ....   :laugh:

I'm sure Harry will include all the 'booing' and snubbing' that they received in his book.

I truly hope that these two ungrateful, narcissistic snobs never return. 

Harry has broken his grandmother's and the rest of the family's heart and disgraced them and for him to expect the British people to hold him or Markle in esteem is quite laughable.

Harry and Meghan celebrated their daughter Lilibet's first birthday in Windsor yesterday with a 'relaxed' birthday party —with royal second cousins invited to the festivities.

The couple held an informal garden party at Frogmore Cottage, on the royal estate, with a birthday cake, balloons, party games and picnic snacks, it is understood.

]The little girl's birthday party was open to Zara and Mike Tindall's three children, Mia, eight, Lena, three, and Lucas, one, as well as Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10, daughters of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly.

Three-year-old Archie's godfather, Charlie Van Straubenzee, and his brother Tom, godfather to Princess Charlotte, were also invited, it is understood.


'It was a lovely do and had everything you’d expect from a child’s birthday party,' a source told The Sun. 'The idea was for it to be very relaxed and casual, with people free to pop in and out as they wished.'

They said that it was a 'nice opportunity' for some of the royal children to meet little Lilibet, with this trip being her first time in the UK.

They added that 'lots of discussion' had been had about the best gifts for the 'milestone' birthday, with a '£75 pink Volkswagen Beetle ride-on toy' proving a popular idea.

So ... is it time yet for them to leave?? Interesting, still no new pics of their little ones. (Archie's hair looks like they attached some kind of moppy wig to him).

Louis is a pistol... :silly:

Touching moment Prince Charles bounces his cheeky grandson on his knee as four-year-old Prince Louis steals the show AGAIN, clenching his fists, sticking out his tongue and shushing his mother Kate in the Royal box

    Prince Louis once again proved a hit on social media while watching the Platinum Jubilee Pageant in London
    The four-year-old delighted crowds on Thursday as he stood next to his great-grandmother The Queen
    Today, he proved just as entertaining while reacting to the fourth day of celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee
    He passed between relatives and sat on his grandfather Prince Charles' lap, who pointed out the spectacles
    At times, he was seen cocking a snook, placed his hands over his face, shushed his mother and clenched fists

Queen Elizabeth II makes surprise appearance on palace balcony to cap off jubilee

ritain's Queen Elizabeth II made a surprise appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on Sunday, as part of the final day of celebrations to mark her historic 70-year reign.
The Queen had skipped events on Friday and Saturday -- a thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral and an afternoon at Epsom racecourse -- after experiencing "discomfort" during the opening day parade on Thursday.
The Queen was flanked by three generations of her family -- Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, and their three children -- to the delight of thousands who had gathered along the Mall for the once-in-a-lifetime jubilee event.

The crowd roared as the 96-year-old monarch -- dressed in a vibrant green and clutching her cane -- emerged with a broad smile and surveyed the patriotic sea of Union Jack flag-waving well-wishers before her. ............

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the Queen's Platinum Jubilee early because the Royal Family has 'moved on' without them and the couple are not the stars that they think they are, experts told MailOnline today.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will have been 'really fed up' at being sidelined by the palace's 'men in suits' they have been so scathing about since quitting in 2020, it has been claimed.

And as they were met with some booing at their only public appearance at St Paul's on Friday, the couple will have learned that the British public believe being a royal is 'about service, not about self', one critic said. Another told MailOnline: 'Their attitude seems to be if we’re not centre stage we don’t really want to be here'.

A member of their team was seen carrying a wooden swing with rope coming out of it and covered by a blue wrapping as Harry and Meghan's team loaded their luggage from Santa Barbara Airport as their private jet touched down on Sunday evening.

It was asinine and ridiculous that they couldn't have stayed a few days longer and celebrated Lili's b'day after the Jubilee.  Having the b'day when they did was nothing more than them wanting the focus to be all about them! CA suits them; London not so much.

So far she looks more like Harry with the reddish hair. She's cute enough, but meh... I'm not a fan of her parents (poor child).

Royal Source Accuses Harry and Meghan of ‘Overshadowing’ Queen’s Jubilee With Abrupt Exit
"WOULD IT HAVE KILLED THEM?’"
Daily Beast, Jun 6, 2022

There was widespread astonishment in royal circles Monday after it was confirmed that Meghan and Harry left Britain by private jet before the platinum jubilee celebrations were finished, delivering a snub to the queen and organizers of the event.

A friend of the royals expressed the irritation felt by many at what was perceived by some to be a churlish and attention-grabbing departure, telling The Daily Beast on Monday, “So much for not overshadowing the queen. Would it have killed them to wait a few hours?”

As The Daily Beast reported Sunday, the couple boarded a private jet an hour before the big jubilee pageant in central London began, landing back in Los Angeles at 6 p.m. local time Sunday.

A source told The Sun, “They just left.”

While there had been suspicions that the couple perhaps didn’t have the best experience of the jubilee, spending much of the celebrations hidden away behind closed doors, and not invited to many of the weekend’s most significant events, their decision to flee the country while the queen’s life was being celebrated by 6,000 military and civilian performers in central London looks distinctly churlish.

They were in the air, crossing the Atlantic, when the queen emerged on the Buckingham Palace balcony at 5 p.m. for her surprise balcony appearance with Prince Charles and Prince William, both of whom Harry has publicly criticized.

I listened to the commentary -- ugh .... quit making excuses for the grifters.  They snubbed the Queen and the rest of their family and they were ticked that they didn't draw the attention that they were hoping to.  Using Lili's b'day as an excuse to try and draw controversy.  Shame on them for not staying over a day or two which would enable the rest of her family to celebrate.

Markle again I believe felt that she and Lili should have received as much attention as the Queen and I'm sure she was seething with jealousy because Kate, William and children received most of the attention. (Though negative things are coming out about Louis behavior).

Queen 'banned Harry and Meghan from having a photographer capture the moment she met her great-granddaughter Lilibet'

    The Queen 'banned Sussexes from having photo of Monarch meeting Lilibet'
    It is believed the 96-year-old met Harry and Meghan's daughter on Thursday
    The couple was reportedly denied having a private photographer there

The Queen reportedly banned Harry and Meghan from having a photographer snap the Monarch meeting her great-granddaughter Lilibet for the first time.

The 96-year-old is said to have met Harry and Meghan's daughter on Thursday.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted a private photographer to capture the moment their daughter met her namesake, The Sun reported.

However, they were allegedly told 'no chance' because it was a 'private family meeting'.

Palace insiders may have worried any photos taken by Harry and Meghan would be shared with TV networks in the US.

I had suspected so, but Kate doesn't seem to be a huge disciplinary so, I wasn't exactly sure.  He has a nanny as well, so I also thought that maybe some of this was wanting attention.

Regardless, Louis is a ham and I enjoyed the pictures.

‘Self-destructive’ Prince Harry wants apology for being ignored: royal expert

By Ben Cost
June 9, 2022

A “furious” Prince Harry will likely want “an apology” amid reports he was royally snubbed by Queen Elizabeth II and company at last week’s Platinum Jubilee, according to self-proclaimed royal expert Angela Levin.

“I think he would have been very, very upset that he was largely ignored,” the noted Prince Harry and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall biographer told the Sun. “He still feels he’s owed an apology.”

Offering her hot take on “self-destructive” Harry’s demeanor at the Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral last Friday, the royal analyst said: “The thing that really stood out for me on that day was Harry’s anger — he wears his emotions on his face and he looked absolutely furious.”

The outspoken Levin — who reportedly spent a year with Harry, 37, while writing his biography — was addressing the international photo controversy that emerged when he and wife Meghan Markle, 40, introduced daughter and namesake Lilibet, 1, to Elizabeth for the first time last Wednesday, after jetting to the UK to partake in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Multiple outlets claimed that the couple were denied a request to have a photographer take photos of the 96-year-old monarch and their daughter — with one anonymous source claiming they were told, “No chance. It was a private family event,” the Sun originally reported. That same birdie also claimed Elizabeth’s minders were worried that Harry and Markle would leak the photos to US television networks.

Netflix bosses will be 'dismayed' by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's failure to be photographed with the Queen and Prince William and Kate at the Jubilee, royal expert claims
Daily Mail/UK, Jun 8, 2022

Prince Harry and Meghan's failure to land pictures alongside senior Royals has dismayed Netflix executives, a Royal expert has claimed.

Prince Harry's biographer Angela Levin told GB News she'd heard the streaming-giant was desperate for the pair to secure images of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with royals like the Queen and Prince William as part of the series they are filming.

Ms Levin's comments come a day after it emerged Harry and Meghan had also failed to persuade the Queen to pose alongside daughter and name-sake Lilibet.

Speaking to GB News, Ms Levin, said this image would have been 'very, very valuable', adding: 'They would have used it for Netflix. It would give them a kudos that they had her with her great grandmother, you know.'

Prince Harry falls off horse during polo match after UK trip

By Yaron Steinbuch
June 13, 2022

Prince Harry took a tumble off his horse during a polo match in California Friday – a week after he glumly returned to the US from his grandmother’s Platinum Jubilee.

Photographs captured the Duke of Sussex, 37, thrown to the ground after he fell at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club and other polo players rushing over to help him.

But the rebel royal quickly regained his composure, brushed himself off and mounted another horse to finish the game, the UK’s Metro reported.

His wife Meghan Markle was not on hand to witness the fall or his team Los Padres losing the game, during which witnesses said he went through three horses, the Independent reported.

The duke’s embarrassing tumble occurred a week after the couple made their first official visit back to the UK since stepping down as senior royals in 2020.

Prince Andrew a no-show at major royal event after Charles insisted he be banned: reports

By Lee Brown
June 13, 2022

Prince Andrew was a no-show Monday at his expected return to high-profile royal events — after heir-to-the-throne brother Prince Charles reportedly intervened to bar his appearance.

The disgraced royal, 62, was long rumored to be joining other royals Monday at the flamboyant Order of the Garter parade.

But he was forbidden from attending at the very last moment after his 72-year-old brother was among those who lobbied their mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to stop him from attending, according to numerous UK reports.

Charles and his eldest son, second-in-line Prince William, persuaded the 96-year-old queen that Andrew’s appearance would spark a “backlash” given the ongoing sex scandal of his ties to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, The Telegraph said.

William and Charles, wearing plumed hats, did attend the flamboyant parade Monday, joined by their wives, Catherine and Camilla, as well as numerous other royals attending a service in St George’s Chapel.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are in 'last chance saloon' with the royal family and will be 'cut off' if they leak any 'private' details about the Jubilee , royal expert claims

By HARRIET JOHNSTON FOR MAILONLINE
14 June 2022

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are in the 'last chance saloon' with the royal family and will be 'cut off' if they leak anything from Jubilee, a royal author has claimed.

The Duke, 37, and the Duchess of Sussex, 40, who are currently living in their $14 million mansion in California, flew in from the US for the event last weekend, but spent little time with the royal family.

Harry and Meghan did not spend any private time with Prince William, Kate, George, Charlotte and Louis during the Jubilee, while they were not permitted to bring a private photographer to the first meeting between the Queen and their daughter Lilibet.

Prince William is 'mourning' the collapse of his relationship with his brother Prince Harry but there is little chance of them repairing it in the near future, friends reveal today.

The depths of the explosive rift between the siblings are exposed in highly revealing interviews with William's inner circle for the Daily Mail.

Relations between the once-close pair are still at 'rock bottom', sources say.

I read the other day that QE only allowed these two a 15min meeting....I should have posted it when I saw it cause I can't find it now..

I read the same thing.  I found it rather surprising, but I'm sure the Queen had her reasons.  I also read that no pictures were allowed of Lili and the Queen.

Kate Middleton and Prince William's First Official Joint Portrait Unveiled!

Quote


Kate Middleton and Prince William viewed a special piece of artwork on Thursday — their first official joint portrait.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were on hand for the painted portrait's unveiling during a visit to their namesake region of Cambridgeshire, which is a county in the City of Cambridge. The couple received the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge from Queen Elizabeth on their wedding day in April 2011.

William and Kate, both 40, stopped by the University of Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum in the heart of Cambridge, where they viewed the painted artwork as it was revealed to the public for the first time. The piece was commissioned in 2021 by the Cambridgeshire Royal Portrait Fund, which is held by the Cambridge Community Foundation, as a gift to Cambridgeshire. It was painted by award-winning British portrait artist Jamie Coreth.

Is this controversy with Charles enough for the Queen to abdicate Charles' position to William?  I'm thinking so.  I know Charles has waited a very long time to become King, but this 'cash transaction' should be carefully scrutinized by the Queen. It certainly has raised some eyebrows.

Queen Elizabeth Makes Public Appearance As Prince Charles Controversy Looms

Queen Elizabeth II made an appearance in Scotland on Monday to kick off Holyrood Week 2022, marking her first public outing since her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The queen took part in an ancient ceremony at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, where she was accompanied by her son Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, the Countess of Wessex.

The 96-year-old sovereign, who has continued to experience mobility problems, used a walking aid at the appearance.

Later on in the week, the queen will be joined by her son Prince Charles for engagements in Scotland.

The Prince of Wales, who recently represented the queen at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Rwanda, made headlines over the weekend after a Sunday Times investigation revealed that the heir to the throne accepted bags of cash from a Qatari politician years ago, and used the funds for his personal charities.............

............The report said that the prince accepted around $3.2 million in cash from Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, who reportedly handed over money in a department store shopping bag and a suitcase in meetings that occurred between 2011 and 2015.

Prince Charles’ Clarence House denied any wrongdoing in a statement.

“Charitable donations received from Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim were passed immediately to one of the Prince’s charities who carried out the appropriate governance and have assured us that all the correct processes were followed,” they told CNN in a statement..................

 Queen Elizabeth is ‘fading away before our very eyes’: royal expert
By Andrew Court   
June 24, 2022 4:50pm

A royal expert is sounding an alarm, saying new photographs of Queen Elizabeth II show the beloved monarch “fading away before our very eyes.”

Daniela Elser penned an op-ed for Australian outlet News.com.AU on Friday, saying images of the queen greeting New South Wales Governor Margaret Beazley in the UK last week were “nothing short of alarming.”

The snaps show the 96-year-old royal wearing a bright yellow dress as she smiles and shakes hands with the Australian politician inside Windsor Castle.

Elser claims the images are unremarkable until they are compared with photographs taken of the queen in a similar outfit back in June 2021, when she met former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

“The difference is truly startling,” the royal expert writes. “In the intervening 12 months, Her Majesty would appear to have become markedly more stooped, much thinner and overall appears to have shrunk.”

The Post has reached out for comment from the Queen’s communications secretary.

Meghan Markle has revealed she is willing to go to Washington DC to join protests against the Roe v Wade abortion ruling and urged people to vote in the November midterms in another big step into US politics backed by her 'feminist' husband Prince Harry.

The Duchess of Sussex is seething over the Supreme Court's decision and told activist Gloria Steinem, 88: 'Well, Gloria, it seems as though you and I will be taking a trip to DC together soon'.

In an interview with Vogue, Meghan also urged men to be 'more vocal' with their anger at the repealing of Roe v Wade and revealed that Prince Harry's response to the Supreme Court's decision last Friday was 'guttural'.

Palace probe into Meghan Markle bullying claims won’t be made public: royal aide

By Emily Crane
June 30, 2022

A Buckingham Palace probe into bullying allegations leveled against Meghan Markle has resulted in changes — but the findings won’t ever be released publicly, a senior royal aide said.

The unprecedented HR review — which was privately funded by the Queen and carried out by an independent investigator — started in March last year after two royal staffers alleged they’d been bullied by the Duchess of Sussex while working for her.

“The review has been completed and recommendations on our policies and procedures have been taken forward,” Michael Stevens, the Queen’s treasurer, said during a briefing Wednesday. “But we will not be commenting further.”

Markle, 40, vehemently denied the allegations at the time, including that she had reduced some of her assistants to tears and treated others so badly, they quit during her time as a senior royal.

Palace puts Queen on light duties: Number of 'must-do' events including State Opening Of Parliament are quietly removed in post-Jubilee update of the 96-year-old's schedule

By WALTER FINCH FOR MAILONLINE
2 July 2022

Buckingham Palace has reduced or removed some of the duties which the Queen, 96, 'must fulfil' as Monarch in its annual review, with insiders downplaying the significance of the changes.

The Prince of Wales, 73, is primed to step up and take on some of the more demanding official duties, while events such as the State Opening of Parliament, once thought a necessary constitutional convention, have been removed.

It is the first time in at least a decade that the Palace's annual report has edited or amended the Queen's duties.

Queen makes surprise visit to open new Maidenhead hospice

The Queen has made a surprise visit to a hospice with the Princess Royal to officially open its new centre.

The monarch travelled from her Windsor Castle home to Maidenhead to tour the Thames Hospice to meet staff, volunteers and a patient.

The hospice provides palliative and end-of-life care and support to people across East Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire.

Its services are free for those who need care.

More than 50% of its £13m annual running costs come from charitable support........

Meghan Hit the Roof Over Her Insufficiently Serious Depiction in Vanity Fair
Tom Sykes
Sat, July 16, 2022 at 7:43 AM
Quote
Meghan Markle reacted furiously to the famous Vanity Fair issue headlined “She’s Just Wild about Harry,” in which she confirmed she and Prince Harry were a couple and hinted they would soon announce their engagement. She complained that the article minimized her role as an actor, philanthropist, and activist.

According to excerpts of a new biography of Meghan by British author Tom Bower, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, Meghan angrily called her publicists, Ken Sunshine and Keyleigh Thomas Morgan, telling them that Buckingham Palace were enraged by the article and that their agency, Sunshine Sachs, should have had comments she made about her and Harry being an item removed. In the interview Meghan said: “We’re a couple. We’re in love.” Shortly after it appeared in the September 2017 issue, Harry and Meghan announced their engagement.

Excerpts of the new book are being published in The London Times ahead of its publication next week. It has already made waves by alleging that the queen said, “Thank goodness Meghan is not coming,” as she prepared for her husband’s funeral. ...

That is often the case.  I think the make-or-break point tends to be 6 months - if the surviving spouse makes it past the 6-month point, their odds of not succumbing to second-spouse-syndrome improve.

Prince Harry says Covid and climate change have left him feeling 'battered and helpless' after 'a painful year in a painful decade' while revealing how fatherhood has made campaigning more important to him
Daily Mail/UK, Jul 18, 2022

Prince Harry today described how Covid and climate change had left him feeling 'battered and helpless' after a 'painful year in a painful decade' - as he revealed how fatherhood had made campaigning more important to him.

During a sombre speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Nelson Mandela Day, the Duke of Sussex said Covid is 'continuing to ravage communities in every corner of the globe' and the world is facing 'an endless stream of disasters and devastation'.

Invoking Mandela's description of hope as 'like a lifebelt is to a swimmer', Harry said: 'Let's be honest, how many of us are in danger of losing  those lifebelts right now?

How many of us feel battered, helpless, in the face of a seemingly endless stream of disasters and devastation. I understand, this has been a painful year in a painful decade.'

Meghan Markle revealed for what she really is — a Kardashian

By Maureen Callahan
July 22, 2022

After a fresh humiliation by booing crowds at the Queen’s jubilee, here comes another blow to the Duke and Duchess of Woke.

“Revenge,” the much-anticipated book by British investigative reporter Tom Bower, may not offer much new information, but it shines as a deep dive into their psyches.

The folie á deux on display here is worthy of a Highsmith novel: Two very broken people stoking each other’s rage, grievances and delusions of grandeur, believing in their unstoppable rise even as they fall ever downward.

What other modern-day couple would wear their expulsion from the British royal family so dementedly, like a badge of honor, while clinging to their royal titles?

The great question is how such privileged people got this way. Bower provides some answers.

Prince Charles agreed to take £1million from the family of 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden for his charity despite objections from advisers

    Charles said to have accepted funds from two half-brothers of Osama Bin Laden
    Agreement made following private meeting between Charles and Bakr Bin Laden
    The payment came despite protestations from his advisers to return the money

Prince Charles agreed to take £1million from the family of al-Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden for his charity - despite objections from his advisers.

The royal, 73, is understood to have accepted the payment for the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation from Bakr bin Laden, head of the family, and his brother Shafiq - both half-brothers of 9/11 mastermind Osama.

The agreement was made following a private meeting between Charles and Bakr, 76, at Clarence House on October 30, 2013, two years after the terrorist was shot dead during a special operation by US forces in Pakistan, The Sunday Times reports.

It came despite protestations from advisers at Clarence House and the charity, who are said to have pleaded with him to return the money.

A member of staff at Clarence House is understood to have warned that, if the revelation was to become public knowledge, it would cause nationwide outrage.

Charles was also reportedly told that 'it would not be good for anybody' if it became known that he had accepted the payment from the family of the man behind the infamous terror attack, while another warned of huge reputational damage.

A source told The Times: 'The fact that a member of the highest level of the British establishment was choosing to broker deals with a name and a family that not only rang alarm bells, but abject horror around the world... why would you do this? What good reason is there to do this?'

7 August 2022

The Duchess of Cambridge was filmed beaming as she joined the GB crew in a friendly race against the New Zealand team during a visit to SailGB in Plymouth last week.

A new clip, posted on the Duke and Duchess' Instagram account, shows sporty Kate Middleton, 40, donning a wet suit and jumping aboard a boat to join Sir Ben Ainslie and the GB crew in the 'friendly' competition.

And the duchess looks thrilled by to be part of the high octane action, with footage showing her smiling as the vessel speeds through the water.

The Duchess, who donned a grey cap and a GBR wetsuit for the event, joined the team in a race against the skilled New Zealand outfit helmed by Peter Burling.

Meghan Markle ‘bitter’ about failure to ‘create woke royal family,’ expert claims

By Nika Shakhnazarova
August 17, 2022

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are “trying to create an alternative, woke royal family,” according to self-proclaimed royal expert Angela Levin.

Levin — a noted Prince Harry and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall biographer — claims the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are enveloping themselves in “grandeur and pomp that surrounds them” after the royals announced an upcoming trip to the UK.

The pair are scheduled to visit Harry’s home soil and Germany for three charity events next month, their spokesperson told Page Six earlier this week.

Harry, 37, and Markle, 41, last visited the UK in June to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations with their two kids: Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1.

However, their upcoming trip seems to have raised the eyebrows of many, in particular Levin, who noted the “odd time” of their visit.

Windsor Castle intruder admitted he was there ‘to kill the Queen’

By Lee Brown
August 17, 2022

The hooded and masked intruder who busted into Windsor Castle with a high-powered crossbow on Christmas Day had filmed a video bragging of his plans to “assassinate” Queen Elizabeth II, a court heard Wednesday.

Jaswant Singh Chail, 20, recorded the video just before he entered the castle grounds — while the 96-year-old monarch was inside celebrating the holiday, prosecutors told London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

“I am sorry for what I have done and what I will do. I am going to attempt to assassinate Elizabeth, queen of the royal family,” he said in the video, in which he was seen holding a crossbow and wearing a terrifying-looking face covering.

“This is revenge for those who died in the 1919 massacre,” Chail said, referring to an incident when British troops shot dead nearly 400 Sikhs in their holy city of Amritsar in northwestern India.

“It is also revenge for those who have been killed, humiliated and discriminated on because of their race,” he said in the video.

Prince Charles makes ‘highly unusual’ daily visits to Queen at Balmoral as health fears grow

Quote


PRINCE Charles has been making regular morning visits to the Queen at Balmoral as she continues to suffer mobility problems.

They are a sign of the Prince of Wales' concern for his mother as unplanned visits between households on the estate are highly unusual, royal experts say.

The Sun revealed yesterday how the 96-year-old monarch is not expected to travel the 1,000-mile round-trip from Balmoral to appoint a new Prime Minister next month.

She has battled for almost a year with mobility problems and closest advisors are worried about her comfort on the 48-hour trip when the incoming PM can readily travel to Scotland.

Prince Harry arrives in electric car to board private jet for one-day polo match
The Duke of Sussex previously defended his use of private aircrafts for security reasons

Prince Harry was photographed arriving in an electric Audi E-Tron before boarding a private jet to attend a one-day charity event in Aspen, Colorado.

The Duke of Sussex’s departure from Santa Barbara, California, was reportedly delayed for around 30 minutes on Wednesday. The 37-year-old allegedly sent a Range Rover, a separate vehicle, back to Montecito to collect his polo equipment for the event that featured his longtime polo pal Nacho Figueras.

An airport golf cart met with the Range Rover and shuttled the British royal’s bodyguard back with his sports equipment. Harry boarded Bombardier Challenger 600 which, according to reports, is owned by Marc Ganzi, a businessman and a polo enthusiast. ...

Just my 2 cents, but Harry is the ultimate royal loser.  He knows his time in the spotlight is limited, especially as William's children become older, and the focus of UK media.  How better to extend that time, than pull a scandal, marry a gold-digging slut actress, and bronze it with advocating phony woke scam causes like Climate Change and diversity.

Meghan Markle says British press called her children ‘the N-word’: ‘You tell me how that makes sense’
According to Markle, Prince Harry said 'I lost my dad' due to toxic tabloid scrutiny
By Stephanie Nolasco | Fox News

Meghan Markle wasn’t eager to share photos of her children with the British press for a reason.

During her time as an active member of the British royal family, the Duchess of Sussex was expected to release pictures of her now 3-year-old son, Archie, to the Royal Rota, which is the press pool that covers Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family.

"There’s literally a structure," the former American actress explained in The Cut cover story on Monday.

"Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my children before I can share with the people that love my children?" the 41-year-old, who is biracial, explained. "You tell me how that makes sense and then I’ll play that game."

According to the duchess, she and her husband, Prince Harry, didn’t have any control over the @KensingtonRoyal Instagram account that they initially shared with Prince William and Kate Middleton.

One month before Archie was born, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex launched their own Instagram handle, @sussexroyal, where they refused to play the "exchange game." Instead, they broke their own news and even posted photos that sometimes never made it to the Royal Rota. But after they stepped back as senior members of the royal family, they shut down the account. The outlet noted that they can no longer use "royal" in their branding.

Markle later announced that she wasn’t returning to social media due to constant bullying from trolls.

The duchess also weighed in on the "toxic" tabloid culture and how it negatively impacted two families.

Meghan of Montecito She’s left the Firm behind. Harry’s found a polo team in Santa Barbara. The kids are doing great. Now she’s ready for her next act.

 



Quote

The conditions are right for confession. It is a beautiful August day in Montecito, in a beautiful sitting room, in a beautiful home. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, a lively 3-year-old with a shock of ginger curls identical to his father’s, toddles into the room demanding “Momma” listen to his heartbeat with a wooden toy stethoscope. He stands, tummy protruding, while his mother, Meghan, convincingly performs her glee at hearing the thump-thump, thump-thump in his chest. Archie giggles and, satisfied, toddles right back out again.

Meghan, relaxing in a cozy chair, gazes over all that is climate-controlled and high-ceilinged and sun-dappled and perfectly marshmallowy, and hers. An invisible hand has lit a Soho House–branded rose-water candle (the founder, Nick Jones, is a friend from “long before I met Harry,” she says), and that scent fills the air, mingling with the gentle tones of a flamenco-inflected guitar floating from a speaker. Then, in the lull in conversation, Meghan turns to me and leans forward to ask in a conspiratorial hush, “Do you want to know a secret?”

    'Madiba's celebration was based on overcoming 350 years of colonialism with 60 years of a brutal apartheid regime in South Africa. So It cannot be equated to as the same', he said

    In it she shared an anecdote where a South African told her: 'We rejoiced in the streets the same we did when Mandela was freed from prison'
    Madiba's grandson Zwelivelile 'Mandla' Mandela has told MailOnline that he was 'surprised' at her remarks
    He claimed  the people of South Africa expressed their joy at his grandfather's release and danced in the streets for a far more important and serious reason than her marriage 'to a white prince'.
    'Madiba's celebration was based on overcoming 350 years of colonialism with 60 years of a brutal apartheid regime in South Africa. So It cannot be equated to as the same', he said

Others in Germany suggested the Duchess of Sussex was overshadowing the 25th anniversary of the death of Prince Harry's mother Princess Diana tomorrow.

One TV broadcaster in Australia said Meghan was 'a total t****r' and she 'couldn't even stomach getting through the whole article' published in The Cut yesterday.

Meghan moans about her life as a Hollywood trophy wife
by Tiana Lowe, Commentary Writer
September 01, 2022 04:31 PM

For someone who incessantly complains about being silenced, Meghan Markle never seems to shut up.

The B-list actress formerly known as the Duchess of Sussex has officially spent more time whining about her royal in-laws than she actually spent as a working royal — fewer than two years, including an extended maternity vacation. Now, she is in The Cut moaning about her horrible life as a Hollywood trophy wife to a literal prince.

The magazine’s cover star was ostensibly promoting the overdue launch of her feminist podcast Archetypes. A full 21 months elapsed between Meg and her husband, Harry, inking their reported $25 million deal with Spotify and the launch of their first series. So the Mountbatten-Windsors need the coverage as much as The Cut needs the clicks. But the real drama came not from Meghan rehashing yet again how (to borrow a phrase from Tina Brown) a 1,000-year-old company headed by a 96-year-old monarch was insufficiently progressive for a Soho House socialite. It was, rather, Markle’s thoroughly modern and distinctly Californian woe: keeping up with the Joneses of Montecito.

When Harry first blindsided his dear old dad and granny with the news that he and his wife were divorcing the family, they decamped from Canada to California. Despite having never actually met billionaire producer Tyler Perry in person, Meghan nabbed an invite for her and Harry to sojourn at his Beverly Hills mansion at the start of the pandemic.

Then Meghan found the house described by The Cut’s Allison P. Davis as “the kind of big that startles you into remembering that unimaginable wealth is actually someone’s daily reality ... evokes a classic Tuscan villa, a Napa vineyard, and a manicured Beverly Hills country club decorated with careful, considered coastal tones for a casual air — the home equivalent of billionaires dressing down in denim.”

There can be no question about her being a FINE looking woman. Nothing whatsoever wrong or off about her appearance.

Her personality is a whole different matter,though.

As for how she managed to bag a Prince,who never seemed to have ANY trouble bagging beautiful women will remain a mystery for all time. It ain't like he wasn't getting laid by beautiful women.

Maybe she hypnotized him using some method that is permanent?

She may have borrowed Kamala's speechwriter:
Quote
She then addressed the audience, and told young future world leaders: 'You are the future... you are the present... You are the ones driving the positive and necessary change across the globe now, in this very moment. And for that I am so grateful to be in your company today.'   ...

The Duchess added: 'Because the truth was, I wasn't sure that I belonged. I was so nervous, I doubted myself and I wondered, wondered if I was good enough to be there?' But she added One Young World, 'saw in me, just as I see in you, the present and the future.' ...

Meghan said: 'And I want to make that point because often times I speak to young girls about the years ahead. About what you will do, about what you will have to adopt to fix from previous generations and also what legacy you will leave.

'Too often in that, we neglect the point - you are doing it now. You, here, in this present moment, this is where it is all beginning.'

Queen Elizabeth's doctors 'concerned for Her Majesty's health,' recommend medical supervision

Queen Elizabeth's doctors "are concerned for Her Majesty’s health," Buckingham Palace announced Thursday, adding that they recommended she stay under medical supervision.

"The Queen remains comfortable" at Balmoral Castle, the palace added. The queen, 96, celebrated her platinum jubilee earlier this year.

Prince Charles, Camilla, Dutchess of Cornwall and Prince William are said to be traveling to Balmoral Castle to be by her side.

"The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime," Liz Truss, the new prime Minister of the United Kingdom, wrote on Twitter. "My thoughts -- and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom -- are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time.".................

Queen under medical supervision at Balmoral

The Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became concerned for her health, Buckingham Palace has said.

"Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision," a statement said.

"The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral."

Prince Charles has travelled to Balmoral with the Duchess of Cornwall.

The Duke of Cambridge is on his way to the Scottish estate, about 40 miles (64km) west of Aberdeen.

The announcement comes after the Queen, 96, pulled out of a meeting of her Privy Council on Wednesday, with doctors advising her to rest.

There are clearly pressing concerns for the Queen's health - much more explicitly put than before and without any reference to this only being about difficulties with mobility.

There are also warnings against unfounded speculation, such as that she might have had a fall. And on Tuesday she was on her feet and photographed smiling as she appointed the new prime minister.

But from the last-minute cancellation of what would only have been a virtual meeting of the Privy Council - of senior ministers - there is no mistaking the fragility of the Queen's health.

Prime Minister Liz Truss said the "whole country" would be "deeply concerned" by the news.

"My thoughts - and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom - are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time," she added.

The Queen appointed Ms Truss as prime minister at Balmoral, instead of travelling to London for the event.

During her 70-year reign the Queen has typically had an audience with her new prime minister at Buckingham Palace.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said: "My prayers, and the prayers of people across the [Church of England] and the nation, are with Her Majesty The Queen today.

"May God's presence strengthen and comfort Her Majesty, her family, and those who are caring for her at Balmoral.".............

Sep 8, 2022


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle must be the ones to say sorry to William and Kate who would have 'brutally rebutted' any request to meet at Windsor this week because they 'no longer trust them’, royal experts told MailOnline today.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue their engagements in Britain this afternoon by attending the WellChild Awards in London before heading back the US, perhaps as early as tonight.

But despite staying at Frogmore Cottage - a stone's throw from the Cambridges at their new Adeleide Cottage home - the Cambridges and Sussexes have not met amid claims Harry never told Prince William they were coming to the UK, with the Duke of Cambridge reportedly finding out from the media.

And Omid Scobie, the couple's biographer and considered their mouthpiece in the UK, claims Meghan and Harry will not reach out until the Cambridges take 'accountability for crossing a line'.

But royal experts say that the reality is that William 'no longer trusts his brother' and the Cambridges 'have good reason to dislike him and Meghan' after their regular transatlantic 'truth bombs' – so would have refused to attend any summit.

Journalist and author Phil Dampier, who has penned a book about the Sussexes romance, said: 'It’s terribly sad that it’s come to this but it’s really up to Harry and Meghan to put down their weapons and think about a peace deal.

'William certainly no longer trusts his brother. If in his book Harry criticises Kate for making Meghan cry in the run up to her wedding, or if he accuses Camilla of ruining his parents’ marriage, I fear there will be no way back for him and William and Charles will cut him off permanently.

'The trouble is they've signed up for big money deals and can’t pull out yet without losing a fortune'.

Operation London Bridge: Here’s what happens after Queen Elizabeth’s death


Quote


Concerns are mounting over the health of Queen Elizabeth II — and her death will kick off a meticulous plan of action dubbed “Operation London Bridge.”

The all-hands protocol, set up in the 1960s, gives detailed instructions on how to handle the first 10 days after Her Majesty’s passing, ensuring a smooth transition of the throne to her eldest son, Prince Charles.

The operation’s nursery rhyme-sounding name represents a secret code used to communicate the sad news to the most senior Buckingham Palace staff and members of government — before it is finally announced to the rest of the world.

To keep the news under wraps, those first alerted will be told, “London Bridge is down.”

Palace signaling Queen Elizabeth II is in ‘grave condition,’ biographer says

By Nicki Gostin
September 8, 2022

Buckingham Palace’s announcement that Queen Elizabeth II is under “medical supervision” is “grave news,” according to a royal biographer.

“We knew that this was extremely serious when the palace released a statement that doctors were ‘concerned,'” Robert Hardman, author of “Queen of Our Times,” tells Page Six exclusively.

Hardman explains that the famously stoic monarch, 96, “dislikes any discussions about her health,” so the news signals how serious her condition must be.

BREAKING: Queen Elizabeth II has died, Buckingham Palace announces
From CNN's Rob Picheta in London
(Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning British monarch whose rule spanned seven decades, died on Thursday at the age of 96, Buckingham Palace has announced.

Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1952, on the death of her father, King George VI. She oversaw the last throes of the British empire, weathered global upheaval and domestic scandal, and dramatically modernized the monarchy.

She died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after doctors said they had become concerned about her health on Thursday.

Elizabeth ruled over the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms, and became one of the most recognizable women ever to have lived. Her son, Charles, immediately became King upon her death.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/queen-elizabeth-ii-is-dead-at-96 (https://www.thedailybeast.com/queen-elizabeth-ii-is-dead-at-96)

Queen Elizabeth II has died at age 96. She passed away at Balmoral, her Scottish country residence, on Thursday with members of the royal family, including her children and heirs, at her side.

The announcement came after her doctors earlier in the day were “concerned” for her health and were keeping her under medical supervision, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said.

The 96-year-old British monarch was evaluated Thursday morning, the spokesperson said in a statement. The queen “remained comfortable,” the statement added.

Prince Charles and Camilla were at Balmoral, along with Prince William, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie. Prince Harry, who was in Britain as part of a tour with wife Meghan Markle, also flew to Balmoral. Meghan did not travel with him. She could potentially join Harry in Scotland at a later date, a source told the Daily Mail.

Dramatic photographs showed Prince William driving Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie into Balmoral. Meanwhile, people gathered in the pouring rain outside the gates of Buckingham Palace hundreds of miles away in London, awaiting a further official announcement—some had brought flowers.

Earlier in the day, a palace spokesperson said: “Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”

NBC News reported that National Security Council spokesman John Kirby had told reporters that President Joe Biden will be “updated throughout the day” on the queen’s condition, adding the president’s thoughts were “solidly and squarely with Queen Elizabeth and her family.”

The queen had been suffering with mobility problems, and looked frail as she appointed Liz Truss as Britains new prime minister on Tuesday. She was forced to pull out of a Privy Council meeting the next day.

With over 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-reigning monarch in British history. During her reign, the queen was served by 15 prime ministers—the first being Winston Churchill, in 1952—and 14 U.S. presidents.

Her 73-year-old son, Prince Charles, now becomes King Charles.

Though frail QE2 hardly looked like someone on her death bed a few days ago.  Must have been a sudden ailment like a heart attack or stroke.

Following the queen’s death, her son Charles automatically becomes king, even though the coronation might not happen for months.

I'm curious as to who will perform the coronation?  I'm sure it will be televised.

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the highest-ranking cleric in the Church of England headed by the British monarch, on Thursday said he was praying for King Charles III.

"My prayers are with The King and the Royal Family. May God draw near them and comfort them in the days, weeks and months ahead," the archbishop said in a statement on his website.

Hate to use a trite expression, but it truly is the end of an era. There are so few left of the generation that served their countries fighting the Axis nations - however they could - during WWII.

Al Mohler says some of the things I was thinking, though more gracefully:
Quote
The history of the world has revealed only a few lasting arguments for political legitimacy, and the most venerable of all is a hereditary monarchy. In the modern age, no monarch has been the equal of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in dignity and long reign. The queen’s death at her beloved Balmoral Castle marks the end of Britain’s second Elizabethan age, and the nation’s outpouring of grief is not only for the loss of their queen but the loss of the truths and principles to which she had dedicated her long life and historic reign. ...

Queen Elizabeth reigned through 15 British prime ministers—her first was Winston Churchill—and she, in herself, was the continuity of government. Her Christmas messages often revealed her explicit affirmation of Christian truth. Her personal stability and rectitude defined her dignity, and her dignity was grounded in centuries of royal duty and British history behind her. She understood herself to be the living representation of the nation and the embodiment of its legitimacy. When the nation suffered, she suffered. When the nation rejoiced, she rejoiced.

She could not look at a British coin or stamp without seeing her own image, and yet she was no Caesar. She was the head of state but not the head of government. She loved horses and, we are told, had a sense of humor. She could never understand a figure like Diana, and she appeared both disappointed and perplexed by the bizarre trajectory of her grandson, Prince Harry. There were signs she had much more hope invested in Prince William, second in line of succession. She was in absolutely no hurry to leave the throne open for Charles, but she surely knew she would have no control over who would follow her there.

Duty fell to her at such an early age, and she carried it so well, for so long, on behalf of so many. Americans sense that the British people are our near relatives and that the British monarch remains a part of our own identity. Few could have predicted, even just a century ago, that Americans would come to love a British monarch. America had respected Queen Victoria and then, to a greater and lesser degree, a succession of kings. But Americans loved Elizabeth from the start. Her death brings an end to an age, not just for the British people, but for us all.  ...

King Charles III could be set to launch a radical overhaul of the monarchy in the wake of his mother's death - a move which may leave Princes Harry and Andrew out in the cold forever.

The King's desire to slim down the front-line Royal Family has long been documented, with experts suggesting Charles wishes to turn the monarchy into a 'leaner machine' with 'less to gossip about'.

Royal watchers believe the former Prince of Wales is keen to ensure there are 'no hangers-on' in the Firm, with each member being expected to pull their weight in a new and more streamlined monarchy.

The concept of the 'slimmed-down monarch' was clear to see during the Platinum Jubilee in June when the Queen restricted those appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony to working members of the Royal Family.

But King Charles' original model, which reportedly involved a tight core of just seven people, including himself, has been thrown into doubt following a series of external events.

The plan, put in motion before the Queen's death, originally included the long-reigning monarch along with Prince Philip, King Charles and Camilla, Prince William and Kate and Prince Harry. 

Philip died aged 99 in 2021, while Harry's future in the slimmed-down monarchy seems hugely doubtful following his decision to quit front line royal duties and move to America with his wife Meghan Markle.

Meanwhile, Prince Andrew, who would likely have featured in a slimmed-down monarchy as a son of the Queen and King Charles' brother, has been outcast since his US sex assault lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre.

But that has pushed Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, and Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, into the fray as 'key' parts of King Charles' future monarchy, according to royal watchers.

(https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/09/08/19/62215167-10639221-image-a-5_1662662572908.jpg)

Meanwhile, experts warn a slimmed-down monarchy could see the royals pull back on its traditional model of attending thousands of engagements each year.

Others warn the number of patroganages could be reduced to allow royals to focus in more detail on a smaller number of key issues - with experts suggesting the environment could become a key part of King Charles' plans for his reign.

Speaking on UCL Political Science Events podcast in March 2022, Dr Craig Prescott said: 'I think there are potentially great risks with slimming down the size of the Royal Family, because as Bob [Dr Robert Morris] says, the question is: What is the monarchy meant to do?

'But I think that the other question is: "What is it going to stop doing?" And you're going to create, perhaps, some disappointment at the things that then get left out.'

Despite this, and the loss of would-be key members, royal watchers believe Charles will likely to push ahead with plans to slim down the monarchy.

Royal biographer Angela Levin told TalkRadio in May 2021 that the heir apparent has wanted to cut back the core of the working royals 'for a very long time' in order to 'save costs and make people be worth the money that they get from the taxpayer'.

So how exactly could King Charles' new look monarchy going forward? Here MailOnline explores those who could feature in the front bench, and those who are likely to miss out.

King Charles - The next monarch, who is set to live at Buckingham Palace

As the new King, Charles will be front-and-centre of the new-look monarchy. Alongside his reported desire to slim-down the size of the family, the biggest immediate change will be his residence.

The former Prince of Wales's official residence has been Clarence House, on The Mall in the City of Westminster, since 2003.

While the Queen's official residence has been Buckingham Palace, she spent much of her time at her favoured Windsor Castle following the death of her beloved Prince Philip.

Camilla, The former Duchess of Cornwall - The Queen Consort, who will join Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace

The former Duchess of Cornwall will have a major role in the new-look monarchy beside King Charles. The 74-year-old will be crowned Queen Consort when Charles becomes King.

The Queen assured the Queen Consort's future status in an historic Platinum Jubilee statement issued late in February 2022, ending years of uncertainty over the issue.

She declared it was her 'sincere wish' for her daughter-in-law to be fully acknowledged when Charles succeeds her.

(https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/03/22/11/55651985-10639221-image-a-97_1647948846259.jpg)

In her message to the nation – signed 'Your Servant, Elizabeth R' – the Queen said: 'When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.'

Charles and Camilla, who married in 2005, were 'touched and honoured' by the Queen's gesture, Clarence House said at the time.

As the wife of the Prince of Wales for the last 17 years, Camilla has already been doing what a Queen Consort would do.

She is a royal patron to scores of charities and good causes, accompanies her husband on royal tours and meets thousands of people every year, something that is likely to continue.

We knew the hatred for Queen Elizabeth would flow after her death but WOW WOW.

You all might recognize Uju Anya from her last Twitchy appearance when she claimed asking someone where they are from is rude and wrong. No, really. So when you see her tweets about Queen Elizabeth dying you’re likely not surprised to see how gross and hateful they really are.

It’s one thing to not mourn when someone you dislike passes, it’s quite another to wish them pain and agony as they die.

William and Kate, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - The newest Duke and Duchess of Cornwall who may inherit Windsor Castle

The first change will be that William will become heir apparent, as King Charles' eldest child. He will also become the Duke of Cornwall.

The tradition is for the eldest son of the sovereign to hold the title, meaning Prince William will inherit the role. He will also inherit the title of Duke of Rothesay from his father. As his wife, Kate will become the Duchess of Cornwall and Rothesay.

Royal expert Iain MacMarthanne, speaking in September 2021, said: 'When Charles inherits the throne the Duke of Cambridge will automatically become Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay amongst other titles that are assumed by the heir to the throne.

'As his wife, Catherine will become Duchess of Cornwall and Rothesay.'

But it is not clear yet whether he will inherit the Duke of Wales title from his father. The Queen granted King Charles the title in 1958.

And while it has usually is a title bestowed on the eldest son of the monarch, it is for King Charles to decide if he wants to award it and whom to. Some have suggested it will be awarded to King Charles' brother Prince Edward instead of Prince William.

Mr MacMarthann adds: 'The title of Prince of Wales is not assumed automatically by the heir to the throne, and remains within the gift of the monarch. In the case of Charles, his mother the Queen created him Prince of Wales in 1958.'

Meanwhile, William and Kate could be on the move - a very short move - as well. It is thought the pair could ultimately inherit Windsor Castle.

Other reports suggest the pair could move into Clarence House, which is due to be vacated by King Charles. However given their recent move to Windsor, it is unlikely.

Harry and Meghan’s children become Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet

Queen’s death means Sussexes’ children have right to title HRH unless and until Charles changes protocols

Ben Quinn
@BenQuinn75

Last modified on Thu 8 Sep 2022 18.15 EDT

The death of the Queen means that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, is now technically a prince – a title that his mother, Meghan, had suggested was denied to him because of his race.

His younger sister, Lilibet “Lili” Mountbatten-Windsor, is also entitled to be a princess after the death and the accession of her grandfather, the Prince of Wales, to the throne.

Meghan had spoken during an interview last year with the US broadcaster Oprah Winfrey of her shock at being told Archie would not get police protection because he did not have a title, and suggested that the decision was taken because of his mixed race.

The Sussexes indicated in the interview that they had expected Archie would be given the title of prince after Charles acceded the throne, but that they had been told that protocols would be changed – in line with Charles’s wish for a slimmed-down monarchy – so that the child would be excluded from becoming an HRH and prince.

Under protocols established by King George V in 1917, the children and grandchildren of a sovereign have the automatic right to the title HRH and prince or princess.

At the time Archie was born, he was the great-grandchild of a sovereign, not a grandchild. But to prevent him from becoming a prince, the King would have to issue a Letters Patent amending Archie’s right to be a prince and Lili’s right to be a princess.

Asked in the Winfrey interview if Archie being a prince was important to her, Meghan had replied: “If it meant he was going to be safe, then of course.” This was said against the backdrop of extended members of the royal family not having an automatic right to police security.

George V’s declaration meant that only Prince George, as a great-grandson of the monarch down the direct line of succession to the throne, was originally entitled to be a prince, as he is the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales.

Prince Harry has arrived at Balmoral - nearly an hour-and-a-half after the death of his grandmother, the Queen, was announced.

Buckingham Palace declared the passing of Britain's longest-serving monarch aged 96 at 6.30pm this evening.

But flight data shows the Duke of Sussex's jet was still in the air at the time, not touching down at the airport until nearly 15 minutes later. He was then seen in the back of a car leaving the site just after 7pm.

He then finally arrived at the Scottish estate at 7.52pm, where he will join other members of the Royal Family in mourning the Queen's death.

Harry headed to Balmoral alone, without his wife Meghan, having previously been due to attend the WellChild Awards in London this evening.

He was expected to make a speech at tonight's awards, which honours the brave deeds of seriously ill children, before he cancelled the appearance.

It is understood that Meghan may have remained in London, but will not attend the WellChild awards. The duchess could potentially join Harry in Scotland at a later date, a source said.

He raced my butt.  I thought he was in close proximity and I had heard that he/they weren't planning on seeing family.

I could be wrong, but I'm not about to give Harry the jerk the benefit of the doubt.

Camilla becomes queen, but without the sovereign’s powers

By The Associated Press
Published: Sep. 8, 2022 at 1:40 PM CDT|Updated: 5 hours ago

LONDON (AP) — After seven decades, the United Kingdom has a new woman to call queen.

Charles’ wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, will be known as Queen Consort — a title that came with Queen Elizabeth II’s blessing after years of contention, dating back to the days before she even married Prince Charles.

It wasn’t always a given that the 75-year-old Camilla would take the title, even though it gives her none of the sovereign’s powers.

While the wife of a king is traditionally crowned queen, the question of what title Camilla would hold when Charles became king had been a tricky one for many years. That was due to sensitivity about her status as his second wife — and the wave of grief that washed over Britain following the death of his former wife, Princess Diana, in a car crash in 1997.

Charles and the royal household have moved carefully on the matter, mindful of lingering public perceptions of Camilla as the “third person” that ruined the marriage between Charles and the beloved princess.

But over the decades, Camilla has won over large parts of the British public with her discretion, down-to-earth personality and loyalty to her husband.

When Camilla and Charles married in a low-key civil ceremony in 2005, she was in fact the new Princess of Wales — Diana’s title — but she styled herself the Duchess of Cornwall instead.

I'm not a fan of Camilla either, but evidently the Queen's wishes were for her to serve as Queen Consort.

The question I think everyone is wondering is how is King Charles going to deal with his snot nosed daughter-in-law and a son who has betrayed the family??

😪
Phillip came to me today,
and said it was time to go.
I looked at him and smiled,
as i whispered that "I know"

I then turned and looked behind me,
and seen I was asleep.
All my Family were around me,
and I could hear them weep.

I gently touched each shoulder,
with Phillip by my side.
Then I turned away and walked,
with My Angel guide.

Phillip held my hand,
as he lead the way,
to a world where King's and Queens,
are Monarch's every day.

I was  given a crown to wear
or a Halo known by some.
The difference is up here,
they are worn by everyone.

I felt a sense of peace,
my reign had seen its end.
70 years I had served my Country,
as the peoples friend.

Thank you for the years,
for all your time and love.
Now I am one of two again,
in our Palace up above.

This poem I believe was written by a lady called Joanne Boyle

I truly liked Diana when she married Prince Charles!  Who didn't?  But later, I didn't think she had what it took to become Queen.  Since then, I have grown to like Camilla. There should not have been the interference with Camilla and Charles in the very beginning ... before there was a Diana.  Their love for each other is what movies are made of.  I believe Camilla will make an excellent Queen.

Camilla has worked very hard these past 17 years for "the firm" --- proving her love for Charles and respect for the royal brand --- earning both from the British people in return.

And remember:  Everything Markle has learned about using media photogs and sympathetic interviews to elevate herself and diminish the royal family, she learned from Diana.

Bio

I am a scholar of language learning and Black experiences in multilingualism. My primary fields of inquiry are critical applied linguistics, critical sociolinguistics, and critical discourse studies examining race, gender, sexual, and social class identities in new language learning through the multilingual journeys of African American students. I also have expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusion in instructional practices and curriculum design, language study abroad, applied linguistics as a practice of social justice, intercultural communication, and service-learning in secondary and university-level language programs.

My book "Racialized identities in second language learning: Speaking blackness in Brazil" (Routledge 2017) examines how students shape and negotiate different identities in multilingual contexts, and it proposes how a multilingual approach (e.g. translanguaging, plurilingual practice) can be utilized for effective language pedagogy. My book was the first single-authored volume of sociolinguistic analysis and critical examination of the African American experience in language learning and won the 2019 American Association for Applied Linguistics First Book Award recognizing a scholar whose first book represents outstanding work that makes an exceptional contribution to the field. My second book, a co-edited volume titled "Racial equity on college campuses: Connecting research to practice," is due to be released by SUNY Press at the end of 2021.

Explained | What will be the powers of Britain’s new monarch, King Charles III? 

...........According to the Royal Family’s official site, the monarch “has to remain strictly neutral with respect to political matters”. This was evident during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, who rarely made her political views public. Talking about her weekly private audiences with British Prime Ministers, the late Queen had said in a 1992 documentary: “They know that one can be impartial, so to speak. I think it's rather nice to feel that one's a sort of sponge."

Political leanings aside, the monarch, during most of her 70-year reign, was actively involved in diplomatic activities in the Commonwealth and other countries, which often played a role in mending soured ties, an analysis by the Lowy Institute noted. It gave examples of multiple significant visits to strengthen ties with the United States in the years after an attempt by Britain to invade the Suez Canal, or her 2011 visit to Ireland where she admitted and regretted Britain’s involvement and actions during the 1916 East uprising.

As for the monarch’s constitutional powers or royal prerogatives, here’s the role they still play:

Appointment of Prime Minister and government: The new King will have the power to formally appoint the Prime Minister who enjoys the majority support of MPs. Once the leader of a party wins general elections, the Head of State invites them to Buckingham Palace to form the government. In case no single party achieves an overall majority after an election, by convention, the monarch appoints the individual most likely to have the confidence of the House of Commons.

The monarch also officially dissolves a government ahead of national elections, as per the advice of the Prime Minister. The power of the monarch to dissolve the Parliament of their own accord was removed with the enforcement of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act of 2011, which provided holding five-year Parliaments, with automatic dates of polling and dissolution.

The discretionary power to appoint or dismiss a Prime Minister no longer lies with the monarch. The last time a monarch dismissed a Prime Minister unilaterally was in 1834 when William IV dismissed Lord Melbourne and replaced him with Sir Robert Peel. The Constitution Unit of the UCL noted in its 2016 report that another instance of a level of discretion being exercised was witnessed when “King George V persuaded Ramsay MacDonald not to resign in 1931, when his Labour government broke up, but to head a National government dominated by the Conservatives”.

Opening the Parliament: The new King will open each Parliamentary year with the State Opening Ceremony, during which he will deliver an address about the executive's planned policies and priorities in the House of Lords. Notably, King Charles has already done this once, in May 2022, on his mother’s behalf on account of her health issues.

Assenting legislation: The sovereign gives his/her Royal Assent to the bills passed in the House of Lords and Commons but that is now essentially a rubber-stamping exercise as the last time a bill denied the Royal Assent was in 1707 by Queen Anne. Constitutional law professor Robert Blackburn was quoted by the UCL as pointing out that “the monarch’s role is limited to one of due process, and royal assent is a certificate that the bill has passed through all its established parliamentary procedures”.

Besides these roles, King Charles will also hold audiences with Prime Minister Liz Truss each Wednesday, when she will brief him on the government’s activities; he can ask to see any government paper he wishes to. According to the BBC, he will receive daily dispatches from the administration in a leather box, containing briefings of meetings, documents needing his signature and so on. The King will also be hosting Heads of State visiting the country, besides Ambassadors and High Commissioners. The sovereign also confers Knighthoods to notable personalities annually. .........

Besides the sovereign’s functions as a Head of State mentioned above, they are also the head of the armed forces, delegating power to the Prime Minister to issue orders to be executed by military officials. The King will also be head of the Church of England. The monarchy also engages in welfare or charitable activities. ................

Meet Beth and Bluebell: The newest residents of Buckingham Palace

As King Charles III and his wife Camilla begin their reign, joining them at Buckingham Palace will be their two much-loved Jack Russell Terriers, Beth and Bluebell.

Like the late Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles and Camilla are huge animal lovers and it was Camilla who adopted Beth and Bluebell from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in London back in 2017.

In a past interview, Camilla told BBC Radio 5 Live that "The nice thing about dogs is you can sit them down, you could have a nice long conversation, you could be cross, you could be sad and they just sit looking at you wagging their tail."

Describing how Beth and Bluebell came to be a part of the family, Camilla said "Along I went to Battersea, and Beth appeared and she had just been moved from pillar to post and dumped.".......

The Brits obviously don't want to play their game.

If I were Harry and Markle I would leave and go back to CA while the going is good.  Charles has wished them well, so they made their choice, let them live with the choice that they made.  If Charles was smart he would strip them of their titles after the Queen's funeral.  Now is not the time.

Pressure builds on Prince Harry as the people of Sussex petition to remove his and Meghan's titles

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were given the royal titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex by Queen Elizabeth II following their wedding in May 2018.

Since then, Harry and Markle have faced heavy scrutiny and gave up their senior royal roles in 2020 and moved to Montecito, California. There have been several petitions made online requesting that the Duke and Duchess be stripped of their royal titles.

Royal expert Hilary Fordwich shared with Fox News Digital Meghan and Harry were "welcomed with open arms at the time" after their title appointing.

"We saw the royal wedding, we saw the outpouring from the public in support of them. She was welcomed with open arms at that time. Don't forget Prince Harry was one of the favorites. He's plummeted in the polls now but he was one of the Royal favorites."

Since the fall in rank by the public and the rise of online petitions, Harry has faced scrutiny by the media and British citizens. The Parallel Parliament filed a petition following the couple’s move to the United States with the description reading, "The title was given to them at marriage on the basis that they would be working royals serving the monarchy. As this is no longer the case, this title cannot be used for personal financial gain. It therefore has no purpose and must be removed."..............

I think this is the wrong time for Harry and Markle to be whining and making waves.

From the moment she walked in the door Meg has acted like a woke leftist radical trying to tear down the monarchy, as it offends her revolutionary sensibilities.

Meanwhile and hypocritically, she wants to be her own Queen.

It is a damn funeral, a damn funeral for the longest reigning and arguably the most beloved royal of all time, of the oldest monarchy on the face of the earth, who ruled over the once mightiest empire in history. Your petty insignificant self Meg needs to sit down and shut up.

The one that really galls me is Harry. He grew up in this and was a soldier. He knows the score. The rules were made over 100 years ago already, so it's not like anyone pulled a fast one.

Who is Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and what is her relationship with Kate, the Princess of Wales?


Sophie, Countess of Wessex is the wife of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, who's Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s youngest son. She caught the attention of audiences globally after sitting next to Meghan Markle in a car during the royal procession to Westminster Abbey, but she has been a loyal member of the royal family since 1999.

According to royal expert Kinsey Schofield, when Sophie first joined the royal family she had trouble finding her footing because she bore a close resemblance to Princess Diana.

"There were constant comparisons of the women, and some royal watchers even accused Sophie of trying to ‘steal Princess Diana’s style,'" Schofield explained, adding that it was similar for Prince Andrew’s wife at the time — Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.

Despite the initial struggles in winning the public over, the queen seemed to have accepted Sophie into the family with open arms and developed a very close relationship with her throughout the years. The queen would often refer to Sophie as her second daughter, and Sophie was the only non-blood relative at the queen’s side at Balmoral during the monarch’s final hours..............

..................Her relationship with Kate, the Princess of Wales, is quite different. They seem to have a deep respect and love for each other. Schofield explained that they both understand the complexities of marrying into the royal family and the level of patience and thick skin their roles require.

"Countess Sophie and the Princess of Wales respect and love each other deeply. Being a Windsor wife requires a lot of patience and body armor," Schofield explained.

Both Sophie and Kate keep up the elegant appearance one expects from members of the royal family. But Schofield says the two can often be seen cracking jokes and giggling with each other.

"There is so much love there," Schofield noted.

Schofield added that Sophie is a "no-nonsense" individual "but does not lack compassion." She's also "a very dedicated mother and loving wife." Edward and Sophie have two children — Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn.

"If we do, indeed, see a slimmed-down monarchy under King Charles, I would not be surprised to find Prince Edward and Sophie included in the mix," Schofield said, adding, "They are now two of the most important faces to the firm.".

@Right_in_Virginia

Thank you for the trip down memory lane, I like the pomp and all of the Royal Weddings.

The last wedding I went to I saw some guests with casual clothing and other than the grooms party and fathers, no ties.


The last funeral I attended all were n casual clothes and I was the only one in black.
I guess people don’t dress up anymore.  It’s sad.

I always liked getting dressed up….I suppose in twenty years from now people won’t be dressing up at all

Can we talk? How Meghan’s request to King Charles has fared so far: royal expert

LONDON – It’s so strange when you think there was a time when you could simply bend the ear of the new king of England – after all, you had recently married into one of the most recognized royal families.

His Royal Highness King Charles, or Prince Charles as he was then, was besotted with you. So much so that he agreed to walk you down the aisle of the church in front of millions of TV viewers around the world to prove how much he respected and cared for the fact you were marrying his youngest son HRH Prince Harry.

Not only that, he also escorted your mother, looking all resplendent in mint green, into the church. All the while, she sat alone minus any chums – despite you having a sizable family. Odd, to say the least, but she had the chance to meet and mingle with the many A-list chums you had deemed to invite rather than close family, etc.

Now, fast-forward and, of course, many stories have passed under that royal bridge. Despite your valiant efforts, the mega deals like "The Bench" book and the ill-fated cartoon "Pearl" have failed to shine in many ways.

So, given that you have trashed the king and his family, you believe at this delicate time that you would like to request permission to now have an informal chat with the new king.

How does that go?

Well, according to a good source, the king is, of course, heavily grieving for his late mother and, of course, struggling to come to terms with his new role and many new duties.

The source tells me, "I think the king has been more than gracious in allowing his daughter-in-law to attend such an historic event and yes, she feels that a one-to-one with the king would help explain the dialogue and the rationale behind why and what has happened."

The reality for Meghan and Harry is simply: that boat has sailed. With sails up into new choppy waters, the era of King Charles begins. Had Meghan, with all her expensive managers and PR teams, taken note – right now would not be a great time to try and interject on this delicate matter.....................

Royal sources say it is 'unlikely' that Meghan Markle wrote King Charles a letter requesting a one to one meeting after Queen's funeral

    Meghan Markle requested 'one-to-one' meeting with King Charles, reporter says
    Neil Sean claims 'very good source' told him Markle wrote formal letter to King
    But royal insiders say this is 'very unlikely' and would be an 'odd' thing to do
   
By Martin Robinson, Chief Reporter For Mailonline

Published: 11:12 EDT, 20 September 2022 | Updated: 11:12 EDT, 20 September 2022

Prince Charles' decision to go to Balmoral today will weaken ‘very unlikely’ claims made by a royal reporter that Meghan Markle requested a 'one-to-one' meeting with the King after the Queen's funeral.

Neil Sean, an entertainment correspondent who has appeared on NBC News, MSNBC and Access Hollywood, said that he had heard from a 'very good source' that the American actress had sent a letter requesting a private conversation with the monarch. He claims Meghan wants to 'clear the air' amid reports the couple will fly back to the US as soon as they can to see their children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one.

But today the King went to mourn his mother in Scotland with Camilla. Charles is known to want to heal his relationship with his son and his wife, even saying how much he loved them in his first address as King, making it ‘very unlikely’ he would ignore such a request if it happened, one source said.

Charles also intervened to ensure Harry could wear military uniform when guarding Her Majesty's coffin in Westminster Hall on Saturday and put the Sussexes at the centre of the Royal Family's mourning of the Queen - including her extraordinary and moving funeral yesterday.

Buckingham Palace and the Sussexes have not commented on the claims, however royal sources told MailOnline that Meghan would be 'very unlikely' to trouble the King as he mourns his mother after yesterday’s funeral and as he grapples with his first days as King.

Another insider said it would be 'odd' for the Duchess to write formally to the King directly for a meeting, given Harry would have a direct path to his father.

The Sussexes are believed to be in Windsor today after the extraordinary state funeral and burial of the Queen yesterday. But they are expected to leave for LA as soon as possible.

'She'd now like before they return back to California to have a one-to-one audience with King Charles III,' Mr Sean said in a video posted to YouTube, that has recorded nearly 300k views.

'That's right—Meghan one-to-one with King Charles. You heard correct.

'It's a very brave move from Meghan herself,' Sean said.

Ok so she's requesting a one-on-one with the King.  Gutsy move on her part, but nothing like wanting to talk to him while he's in his most vulnerable state.

I was hoping that Henpecked Harry and Markle would have left already.

They're back to CA!   Any bets on if Harry is going to release his book?  The article mentions Markle and forgiveness.  Seriously?  After they both slammed the Royals they want forgiveness?  Or is she implying she's willing to forgive?  What a piece of work she is. My hunch is that Markle lied to Harry for attention in hopes to have the Royals bow to her. 

They deserve CA and CA deserves them!  Two liberal messes.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Head Back to California After Quietly Leaving the U.K. on Tuesday

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's time in the U.K. has come to an end following their extended visit after Queen Elizabeth II's death. Hello! learned that the couple left London Heathrow airport on Tuesday for their Montecito, CA home after arriving in the U.K. on Sept. 3. They departed one day after the Queen's funeral..................

................Before they left, Meghan reportedly sought out a meeting with King Charles III. It's unclear whether she was granted it. NBC and MSNBC’s royal reporter Neil Sean reported that a “very good source” informed him that Meghan requested the audience with Charles via letter.

“She’d now like [to], before they return back to California, to have a one-to-one audience with King Charles III,” Sean said earlier this week in a video posted on YouTube, via Sky News and Page Six. “That’s right, Meghan one-to-one with King Charles III. You heard correct. And what’s interesting here is, according to that good source, this was made in a formal letter, this is how you write to the King. Now you have to admire Meghan’s self-belief, whatever you think.”

Sean added that the letter acted as “an opportunity to clear the air, put the rights from wrongs and explain some of the rationale behind what they’ve been doing over the last two years. Truthfully we have no idea if this is going to go forward. It’s a very brave move from Meghan herself.”

Meghan told The Cut in an interview published in late August that while she and the royals still had a strained relationship, there was room for healing and forgiveness................

William and Kate's children using new 'Wales' last names following title change

After becoming king earlier this month, Charles III gave William the new title of Prince of Wales,
changing the children's last names from Cambridge to Wales

By Brie Stimson | Fox News

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s three children have started using their new last names, which they inherited when their titles changed after the death of their great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II earlier this month.

Prince George, 9; Princess Charlotte, 7; and Prince Louis, 4, will now be known by the name Wales. Since their birth, the children have used Cambridge for their surname.

King Charles III said in his first address as monarch on Sept. 9 that he wanted William, his oldest son, to be known by his own previous title the Prince of Wales and Kate would become the Princess of Wales, which was last used by William’s late mother Princess Diana.

Charles' wife Camilla, now the queen consort, was previously the Duchess of Cornwall.

William and Kate were previously the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. 

William is first in line to the throne and his three children are the second, third and fourth in order of their birth.

George and Charlotte’s new names were used in the Order of Service on Monday for the queen's funeral at Westminster Abbey. They were described as Prince George of Wales and Princess Charlotte of Wales. Louis, who stayed home for the service, will be Prince Louis of Wales.

Their names will also change at their new Lambrook preparatory school near their home at Adelaide Cottage at Windsor.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain the Duke and Duchess of Sussex but their children Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, can inherit prince and princess titles due to their grandfather’s accession. Still, there has been no announcement of a title change.

Queen Elizabeth 'exhausted,' 'hurt' from Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's decision to step down as senior royals
Queen Elizabeth took issue with not only Harry leaving the United Kingdom, but also his relationship with his father and her son, King Charles III
By Caroline Thayer | Fox News

It has only been three days since Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest in Windsor Castle, but a new report is already revealing intimate details of how the monarch felt about her beloved grandson, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle, choosing to step away from their duties as senior royals.

In an excerpt from "The New Royals" shared with Vanity Fair, author and royal expert Katie Nicholl details the toll their departure had on the queen, who was allegedly "deeply hurt by Harry's decision to leave his family and the country." The two officially announced their role change in January 2020.

Although Her Majesty was profoundly impacted, she "made it clear that if Harry and Meghan chose to leave, they could not reap the benefits of being royal," Nicholl wrote.

"According to a friend, privately the queen confided that she was exhausted by the turmoil of their decision," Nicholl continued. "She was very hurt and told me, ‘I don’t know, I don’t care, and I don’t want to think about it anymore,' says that person."

The late monarch was 94 years old at the time of Harry and Meghan's announcement and still had her husband, Prince Philip, by her side. He died in April 2021.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who chose to settle in California and significantly distance themselves from the royal family, gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, where they alleged racist remarks about the skin color of their son Archie were discussed among the inner family circle. After that interview, Oprah shared that Harry had made it clear neither his grandmother nor grandfather was the source of said comments.

According to Nicholl, "It was a source of sadness to the queen that she got to see so little of Archie and Lilibet and that Harry and Meghan were not able to join her for a weekend at Balmoral in August, when the queen used to host a ‘sleepover’ for all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren."

Prince Harry Will Be Permanently ‘Exiled’ by ‘Ruthless’ King Charles, Sources Say


Quote


A friend of the king’s told The Daily Beast: “The royals handled the abdication crisis by exiling Edward which meant he and Wallis ultimately came to seem like unimportant, misguided, disloyal, and even treacherous individuals to almost the entirety of the British people. It was a masterful operation in the service of which the Queen Mother, in particular, worked tirelessly.

“The same thing is already happening with Harry and Meghan, and will only gather pace over the next few years under the rule of King Charles. And of course a wayward second son is far less of an existential threat to the fabric of the monarchy than a wayward king.”

Meghan Markle, the ‘difficult' Duchess, complained about ‘not getting paid’ for royal tour, book claims
Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle 'clashed' with royal staff and treated them 'horribly,' new book claims

By Stephanie Giang-Paunon | Fox News

After Queen Elizabeth II’s death, the reconciliation between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the royal family remain uncertain.

Before "Megxit," royal insiders revealed that the Duchess of Sussex showed negative behavior towards the staff and even allegedly forced Prince Harry to put out a statement confirming they were an item, according to an explosive excerpt in the book "In Courtiers: the Hidden Power Behind the Crown" by Valentine Low.

"She was saying, ‘If you don’t put out a statement confirming I’m your girlfriend, I’m going to break up with you,’" a source told The Times royal reporter Valentine Low.

"He was freaking out, saying, ‘She’s going to dump me,’" the excerpt added.

Prince Harry and Markle’s relationship became public in October 2016 before getting married in 2019.

The couple have made headlines for distancing themselves greatly from the royal family and in 2020, they stepped away from their senior royal duties.

In the new book, Markle allegedly treated the royal staff "horribly," as they knew Markle was "different" from all of Harry’s previous royal girlfriends.

Markle reportedly was very outspoken with her opinions.

"In the spring of 2017, more than six months before the couple were engaged, she told one of Harry’s advisers: ‘I think we both know I’m going to be one of your bosses soon,’" the book said.

However, Markle’s behavior towards royal staff comes to "no surprise," Kinsey Schofield, royal expert and host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast, suggested to Fox News Digital.

"Meghan allegedly treated staff like they were less than. Likely insecure over her position and overcompensating because she feared she wouldn’t be taken seriously within the palace," the royal expert remarked.

A source told the royal expert that Markle was "overly harsh" and got "cross with the servants," while "occasionally shouted at them." She spoke down to them and was "cold."

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s former team call themselves the ‘Sussex Survivors Club,’ book claims
Ex-staffers for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claim Meghan had been planning her royal exit from the beginning, author says
By Brie Stimson | Fox News

    Former staffers who worked on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s team before they stepped down as senior royals in 2020 called themselves the "Sussex Survivors Club" because of the difficulties in dealing with them, according to an excerpt from a new book.

The duchess was also called a "narcissistic sociopath" by her team behind her back, Sunday Times royal reporter Valentine Low writes in her book "In Courtiers: the Hidden Power Behind the Crown" to be released next month, citing sources.

In one specific instance, Low writes that Kensington Palace was in a "panic" after Meghan abruptly left a planned 15-minute meeting in at a marketplace in Fiji in 2018 for a project to help women that was run by the group UN Women.

The palace initially said Meghan left after only eight minutes for security reasons, then claimed it was because of "crowd management issues," but it later emerged Meghan didn’t want to be associated with UN Women branding, according to Low.

"I can’t believe I’ve been put in this situation," Meghan reportedly complained to an aide before leaving, promoting a staffer to call her "nuts" and the situation "insane."

The duchess was seen moments later in a car crying.

Low writes that the palace had to assure Scotland Yard that Meghan had proper protection while on the trip through the South Pacific after reports came out about her being rushed from the marketplace.

The author noted it wasn’t clear why Meghan wouldn’t want to be associated with UN Women and her lawyers have denied that claim.

"This is completely false," representatives for Meghan told the Times last year. "The duchess is a keen supporter of UN Women and has never objected to their branding. The only reason the duchess was evacuated from the event was due to safety concerns. This was a decision made by her head of security . . . [she] met with other leaders from UN Women later in the South Pacific tour."

Did Nostradamus predict the Queen's death... 450 years ago? Intrigue fuels surge in sales for French astrologer's book after prophet 'forecast Her Majesty would die in 2022 aged 96'


Quote


Book sales about the astrologer Nostradamus have soared since the Queen died, as people have suggested the French prophet predicted her death more than 450 years ago.

Nostradamus has previously been hailed for predicting the Great Fire of London, Hitler’s rise to power and the wars that hit Europe.

Since the Queen’s death on September 8, book sales of Mario Reading’s Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies for the Future have risen dramatically.

In the week prior to Her Majesty's death, the book sold just five copies but by the week ending September 17 almost 8,000 copies had been sold pushing it to the top of the paperback charts, The Sunday Times reported.

Harry's memoir U-TURN: Duke 'requests 11th-hour rewrite to soften his bombshell £40m autobiography after nation's outpouring of grief for the Queen' amid fears the final draft 'might not go down too well' in the wake of her death
Daily Mail/UK, Sep 24, 2022

Prince Harry has launched a last-minute bid to tone down his bombshell autobiography amid fears his final draft 'might not go down too well' in the wake of the Queen's death, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The memoirs had been signed off ready for an expected autumn release, but the Duke – who is writing the book as part of a near £40 million three-title deal – has asked to make some significant alterations.

His request may be seen as a sign that he is ready to take a more conciliatory approach to the rest of the Royal Family, but could cause problems for his publishers.

'Harry has thrown a spanner in the works,' a source said. 'He is keen for refinements in the light of the Queen's death, her funeral and his father Charles taking the throne.

'There may be things in the book which might not look so good if they come out so soon after these events. He wants sections changed now. It's not a total rewrite by any means. He desperately wants to make changes. But it might be too late.'

Publishing sources suggested that the Duke might have limited 'wriggle room' given he was handed a seven-figure advance.

Publishers Penguin Random House had already demanded a rewrite after the first draft was deemed 'too touchy-feely' and placed too much focus on mental health issues, The Mail on Sunday understands.

The development comes as another new book makes a series of explosive claims about Harry and his wife Meghan – although it is not clear whether the Duke now plans to address any of these fresh allegations in his memoirs, which he has billed as an 'accurate and wholly truthful' account of his life.

[...]

In a statement announcing the global publishing deal, Penguin Random House described it as 'an intimate and heartfelt memoir', promising that 'Prince Harry will offer an honest and captivating personal portrait'.

The publishers added that the book would cover Harry's 'lifetime in the public eye from childhood to the present day, including his dedication to service, the military duty that twice took him to the front lines of Afghanistan, and the joy he has found in being a husband and father'.

The Mail on Sunday has established that the publishers paid an advance of $20 million (£18.4 million) for the book as part of a three-title deal worth £36.8 million

A source said: 'The publishers paid $20 million up front because they knew whatever was written would be huge for sales and exposure all around the world. But the first draft they received was apparently viewed as a bit too touchy-feely and focused far more on mental health issues than they wanted. Eventually, the final draft has been finished and signed off and a lot of money and energy has been spent to make sure it comes out this year.'

However, Harry's requests for late changes might have an impact on the timetable.

Meghan Markle set to go nuclear, but who's to blame? Royal expert explains
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry expected to hit back after new bombshell claims from former staffers
By Neil Sean | Fox News

    LONDON – Palace aides take revenge on the "Difficult Duchess" in a second mind-blowing book detailing life with the Duchess of Sussex.

Now more than ever, Harry and Meghan are to be held up to public scrutiny – but as ever in the world of the two ex-royals, it’s not their fault.

Why is this happening now?

Simply, people are speaking and don’t care what they say about the one-time royals.

It all centers on Meghan really, because as many people know, Harry – prior to meeting Ms. Markle - was a lovable oaf at times who charmed the public with antics, loved being in the army and was seeking someone to love. If this is to be believed Meghan, like a missile, according to two books now, sought out the Duke with all the finesse that the Terminator would be proud of, making sure she had gelled up on him enough to mold herself into the perfect princess in waiting.

It has been an open secret here in the U.K. that the duchess, then living at Kensington Palace, was difficult. She was all smiles for the camera, a role she loved even if she felt she and Harry should be paid to meet and greet the public that are, in effect, already paying for them. But she was triggered off way back in 2019 when they toured Africa.

Meghan, you will recall, even claimed in that set-up interview with ITV and Harry’s good chum the broadcaster Tom Bradby, "Thank you for asking if I am OK as no one has bothered until now," flicking back tears through smudged eye makeup. This, though, was a starring role as she had already been told the questions in advance, so no surprise she had perfected that look.

The stories are spilling out now, pure and simple, because before the queen passed away, they had some kind of protection, a level of respect for the monarch who reigned over us for 70 years. Harry knew she was loved by the world, so, at 96, no one wanted to upset her.

Now, sadly she has left us and left behind, all thanks to Meghan and Harry, an investigation into bullying that was never made public. Now those involved feel angry and betrayed. After all, they claim it was their lives that were affected and despite that investigation even they do not know what the outcome was. What they claim is that their lives were a living hell thanks to the duchess.

The optics don’t look great because, as we know, this will only ignite another fire back from Meghan and Harry. However, let me tell you this – no one believes anything Meghan says now after that "secret wedding," the Nelson Mandela quote, the list is endless really and to be fair who knows what the real truth is. Does Meghan know really….?

The payment for the royal tours is simple – in Meghan’s mind it made perfect sense that she was drawing a crowd and expected that crowd to see her, but back in the land of showbiz, where a buck is made on the back of a 30-second clip, who can blame her for thinking like that?

The bigger issue is why didn't Prince Harry explain to his new squeeze what the life of royals involves? She famously said she was ready to hit the ground running and boy has she, but again the issue for Meghan was that she could not understand why she could not keep the expensive scented candles, designer shoes, dresses and makeup that she figured were rightly hers. A source told me that Harry promised her everything as he was so frightened of losing her. So again, is she totally to blame? I mean, here she is in the land of luxury, and suddenly it appears that the royals are as tight as the local dollar store.

This can only lead to one thing in the end… disaster, as the deals they have forged on the back of this royal connection will dry up and get bleaker and weaker. While Harry can always return to the royal fold, albeit in shame, she sadly will come off the worst in this. Despite millions made, she could see her dreams of world domination in tatters. What a mess they have both weaved to get to this place and yet there is more to come, trust me.

Prince Harry and Meghan Hoped to Live at Windsor Castle, Then the Queen Crushed Their Dreams: Report
 By Jack Davis, The Western Journal
Published September 27, 2022 at 7:15am

A new book says Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, got less than they wanted when Queen Elizabeth II gave them a place to live that one palace insider called a “generous gesture.”

According to Katie Nicholl’s “The New Royals,” Harry and Meghan wanted apartments in Windsor Castle.

“When Harry and Meghan announced their wish to move out of Kensington Palace, the Queen offered them Frogmore Cottage in Windsor Great Park as their new home,” the book said, according to an excerpt published Monday by the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

“This was not the suite of apartments at Windsor Castle they had hoped for. It was a generous gesture nonetheless, recalled Lady Elizabeth Anson, who died in 2020,” the excerpt said. Anson was a party planner and a cousin of the queen.

“‘The cottage was a big deal,’ she said. ‘The Queen’s entrance into the gardens is right next to their cottage. It is essentially her back yard, her solitude, and her privacy. She was giving that up in gifting Harry and Meghan Frogmore Cottage. We all thought it was very big of her. She said, ‘I hope they’ll respect it,’” the excerpt said.

One month later, Harry and Meghan moved the offices of their Royal Household to Buckingham Palace, severing a connection with Harry’s brother, Prince William. The book said the move was “deeply disappointing” for the queen.

The excerpts published by the Daily Mail include an early anecdote of Meghan’s temper and how it played with Elizabeth.

“Meghan’s direct approach had even come to the notice of the Queen,” the book said. “On one occasion in the run-up to the wedding, Meghan went to Windsor Castle for a menu-tasting and ended up having a tense exchange with a member of staff, according to one source.

“‘Meghan was at the castle to taste some of the dishes, and told one of the caterers she could taste egg,’ said the source. ‘She got quite upset, saying that the dish was meant to be vegan and macrobiotic, when suddenly the Queen walked in and said, ‘Meghan, in this family we don’t speak to people like that.’”

Other excerpts published Sunday by the Daily Mail said the queen was upset by what was happening as the couple’s wedding neared.

There are just times in life you need to STHU because you are nothing but an insignificant gnat riding on a brontosaurus. The petty, bratty, narcissistic conceit of this woman acting like she is some kind of woke queen v. the leader of a 1,000+ year old monarchy who was already living history before Meg was ever born.

Gauche, crude, and classless are too high praise for her. She's surpassed Wallis Simpson in pure odiousness.

Queen Elizabeth II's official cause of death released
Queen Elizabeth II died from old age, according to the monarch's death certificate
By Lauryn Overhultz | Fox News

  Queen Elizabeth II's official cause of death was released Thursday.

The 96-year-old monarch died of old age.

The certificate, published by National Records of Scotland, records that Elizabeth died at Balmoral Castle in Ballater, Scotland, on Sept. 8 at 3.10 p.m. The document was signed by the queen’s daughter, Princess Anne.

The queen's tomb is located inside the King George VI Memorial Chapel, part of St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Meghan Markle wanted to live in Windsor Castle and be seen as a princess, royal expert claims
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lived at Frogmore Cottage until 2020, the year they stepped back from their royal roles
By Lauryn Overhultz , Ashley Papa | Fox News

   Meghan Markle wanted to be seen as a princess, which is likely why she and Prince Harry requested to reside at Windsor Castle after marrying.

Prince Harry and Markle married in 2018 and moved into Frogmore Cottage. The home is located on the grounds of Windsor Castle and is property belonging to the Crown Estate.

However, Markle seemingly didn't want to live there.

"Frogmore Cottage is a stunning estate on the Windsor Castle grounds. I can confirm that Prince Harry and Meghan had requested a space within Windsor Castle but were offered Frogmore Cottage instead," Kinsey Schofield, royal expert and host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast, told Fox News Digital.

Before Prince Harry and Markle got married, Prince William and Princess Catherine were living in renovated apartments inside Kensington Palace. At the time, Prince Harry lived alone in Nottingham Cottage, a small home detached from the palace where William and Catherine were.

"Part of me wonders if Meghan constantly evaluating what Prince William and Catherine had versus what she was offered is what initially instigated the Windsor Castle pursuits," Schofield said.

"It is clear that Meghan wants to be seen as a princess, and a princess needs a castle."

However, Frogmore Cottage gave Markle and Prince Harry "more room and more privacy," Schofield said.

Queen Elizabeth II's decision to give Frogmore Cottage to Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Markle, Duchess of Sussex, might have stemmed from the couple's propensity for drama, according to the royal expert.

"Windsor Castle had always been a sacred escape for Queen Elizabeth, and based on the amount of drama that the Sussexes had caused in such a short amount of time, I don't think the queen wanted them right under her nose," Schofield said.

"Additionally, Prince Harry and Meghan seemed resentful of royal responsibilities and the attention that comes with it," she added, reiterating that the Sussexes clearly prioritized privacy. "Would they have been able to tolerate the amount of tourists that come through the Windsor Castle grounds regularly or would that kind of attention have proven to be a burden?"

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'want to edit their Netflix series and delay its release until next year' following the Queen's death, sources claim
Daily Mail/UK, Sep 29, 2022

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly want to edit their docuseries with Netflix and delay its release 'until next year' after the Queen's death, multiple sources have told Page Six.

The Duke, 38, and Duchess, 41, of Sussex, who now live in their $14million Montecito mansion with their two children, Archie, three, and one-year-old Lilibet - are working on a documentary as part of their $100 million deal with the streaming service.

It was previously expected that the production would be aired in December, following the fifth season of The Crown on November 9, according to the publication.

However, sources claimed the couple now want to make edits to the series, which would possibly delay its release until later in 2023, as they look to 'downplay much of what they have said about King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales'.

One Hollywood industry source said: 'A lot of conversations are happening. I hear that Harry and Meghan want the series to be held until next year, they want to stall.

'I wonder if the show could even be dead in the water at this point, do Harry and Meghan just want to shelve this thing?,' they added.

A Netflix insider also claimed: ‘Netflix has been keen to have the show ready to stream for December. There’s a lot of pressure on (Netflix CEO) Ted Sarandos, who has the relationship with Harry and Meghan, to get this show finished.’

It comes after The Mail on Sunday reported that Harry has launched a last-minute bid to tone down his bombshell autobiography amid fears his final draft 'might not go down too well' in the wake of the Queen's death.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are house hunting for a more private mansion in Montecito: report
The median cost of a home in the Santa Barbara suburb as of August 2022 was $6 million
By Caroline Thayer | Fox News

Privacy is coveted amongst the Royal Family, and new reports out of California reveal Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are angling for a more secluded and private property to live with their two children.

According to the Santa Barbara News-Press, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are shopping around in the exclusive Hope Ranch area of Santa Barbara.

According to Realtor.com, the median listing for a home in the area was $6M as of August 2022.

The couple, who left their home in the United Kingdom along with their duties as senior royals in 2020, moved to California to raise their two children, Archie and Lilibet.

A representative for Harry and Meghan previously told Fox News they had moved into a Santa Barbara home in July 2020, where they had "settled into the quiet privacy of their community," which they hoped would be upheld out of respect "for their neighbors, as well as them as a family."

With their children's titles in limbo as well as the general loss in physical security by no longer being working members of the royal family, the couple have placed a premium on seclusion.

Harry and Meghan, who were designated the private Frogmore Cottage to live in after they were married in the United Kingdom, have felt that their privacy has been compromised on several occasions.

The local publication claims that the royal couple may have "already purchased" a home in the ritzy area within Santa Barbara.

The Sussex 'power-couple': 'Defiant' Meghan poses like a CEO with 'dour' Harry at her side in new photos as they re-establish brand as an 'alternative royal family' in response to Palace's 'new Fab Four' picture

New portraits of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are an attempt to make them look a 'power couple' amid turmoil in the Royal Family and were deliberately released soon after Buckingham Palace published an image of the new 'Fab Four': King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales, experts told MailOnline today.

Body language guru Judi James says Meghan looks like a CEO in one of the images while Harry looks 'dour' and adopts a pose 'you might see on Dancing on Ice as someone leads their partner out'.

While royal experts predict the portraits are bad news for the Windsors, predicting the Sussexes wanted to show 'they are not going to let go of their attempts to be seen as an alternative royal family'.

King Charles Is Poised to Give William and Kate a Massive Mansion Called Frogmore House

Mehera Bonner
Tue, October 4, 2022 at 6:45 AM

Looks like Prince William and Kate Middleton are potentially about to add yet another home to their growing list of properties. The Sun reports that King Charles has "earmarked" Frogmore House for the new Prince and Princess of Wales,

The house (really, it's a full blown mansion) was built in 1684 on the Windsor Estate, and if it sounds familiar that might be because it was the location of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding reception. And speaking of the Sussexes, Frogmore House is fully different from their home Frogmore Cottage—which is nearby and also on the Windsor Estate.

(https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/Phk13iLQzklBqDHN6ouFZQ--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU5MjtjZj13ZWJw/https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/sWjtoWF4TVJlUXXNhkfn5Q--~B/aD02MzE7dz0xMDI0O2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/https://media.zenfs.com/en/cosmopolitan_438/84a2f3e2c3ba8565993592c8eb66d8e1)

Reminder that William and Kate literally just moved from their country home Anmer Hall to Adelaide Cottage, and apparently they aren't super thrilled about the prospect of moving again now that Charles is King and royal property re-shuffle is taking place. But The Sun reports that while there's no info on what "the Wales family would do" with Frogmore House, its "attraction may be too great to ignore."

Meanwhile, The Daily Mail recently reported that there's a "radical drive to overhaul the vast Royal estate," and there was even some talk of moving William and Kate into Windsor Castle proper. As the outlet put it: "Charles's wide-ranging plans include turning Balmoral into a museum to the Queen and moving the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge into Windsor Castle."

"The Prince of Wales [now King Charles] strongly believes that these places have got to deliver something for the public beyond just being somewhere for members of the Royal Family to live," a source said. "Everything is seen through the lens of the question: 'What value is this offering to the public? Everybody recognizes it makes no sense to run so many residences but if you give them up entirely you will never get them back when Prince George and the younger Royals grow up and need somewhere to live."

‘Needy’ Prince Harry ‘clings’ to Meghan Markle, royal expert claims

By Nicki Gostin

October 8, 2022 | 9:05am

Prince Harry “clings” to wife Meghan Markle “like a needy man, like a life raft,” royal biographer Tom Bower tells Page Six exclusively.

The Duchess of Sussex “satisfies all” of the Duke of Sussex’s “requirements,” which he “didn’t get from other girlfriends,” the author of “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” explains.

Bower also claims that Harry, 38, is a “damaged” and “very disturbed” man as a result of childhood trauma — and Markle, 41, allegedly knew just how to win him over.

“He is psychologically harmed both by his mother’s death and the father’s treatment of his mother, and of Harry himself, when he was a child,” the author alleges to us.

Prince Harry’s difficult life — and those of his royal relatives — has been highly publicized for years.

His mother Princess Diana’s unhappy marriage due to King Charles III’s long-term affair with now-wife, Queen Consort Camilla, was well-documented in the press.

The former Princess of Wales’ tragic death in August 1997 — when Harry was just 12 — also captured intense media attention.

The Duke previously opened up about the trauma surrounding his childhood, accusing his father of passing down a “cycle” of “genetic pain and suffering” on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast in 2021.

Harry and Meghan’s ‘agenda’ in 2023
8 hours ago
Paul Murray

While our attention in 2023 turns to King Charles III’s coronation, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have their own “agenda”, says Princess Diana’s private secretary Patrick Jephson.

“They’re launching more legal action against the British newspapers, we don’t know what their Archewell activities are intended to lead to,” Mr Jephson told Sky News host Paul Murray.

“And of course, we have the prospect of Harry’s memoirs and a Netflix docudrama.

“So there’s lots more on the conveyor belt of Harry and Meghan stories, lots more on the Royal stories conveyor belt too.”

That is the part I find hard to believe. After all,sitting aside for a moment that he is a handsome man,stinking rich,and reported to be a good guy,the only explanation is he is "P-whipped".

Queen Elizabeth II's corgis are all right: Sarah Ferguson's update on beloved dogs she and Andrew inherited
Although they divorced in 1992, Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson and Prince Andrew live together in England
By Caroline Thayer | Fox News

    Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson, the Duchess of York, provided an update on the dogs she deemed "national treasures" that once belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The ex-wife of the disgraced Prince Andrew spoke with "The Telegraph" about the "well-trained" dogs she and the Duke of York inherited after the queen's death in September.

Although they divorced in 1992, the duo reside together in England and maintain an exceptionally close relationship.

Throughout her reign, Queen Elizabeth owned dozens of corgis, and was frequently pictured with her beloved pets, walking around Windsor Castle.

Meghan Markle: I’ve been called ‘insane,’ ‘hysterical’ and ‘crazy’

Meghan Markle said she’s been labeled as “insane” and “crazy” in a new episode of her podcast, “Archetypes.”

In the show’s fifth installment entitled, “The Decoding of Crazy,” the Duchess of Sussex, 41, sat down with actresses Constance Wu, Jenny Slate and Deepika Padukone and discussed allegedly being called “insane.”

“Raise your hand if you’ve ever been called crazy or hysterical, or what about nuts, insane, out of your mind, completely irrational,” Markle asked the round table of women. ...

Markle did not elaborate on who allegedly called her these words or give examples nor did she clarify if she was merely speaking about public perception. ...

 Meghan Markle: I was ‘reduced to a bimbo’ while on ‘Deal or No Deal’

By Francesca Bacardi

October 18, 2022 | 7:53am

Meghan Markle quit her 2006 job as a briefcase girl on “Deal or No Deal” because she felt she was being “reduced to a bimbo.”

The Duchess of Sussex reflected on her brief stint on the game show, admitting she was “really grateful” to have a job that could pay her bills but felt there was “little substance” to the role.

“I ended up quitting the show. I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage,” she said on the latest episode of her podcast, “Archetypes.”

(https://pagesix.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/10/meghan-markle-54.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=640)

“I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance, and that’s how it felt for me at the time being reduced to this specific archetype: the word ‘bimbo.'”

Markle, 41, who spoke to Paris Hilton in the episode, reflected on studying international relations in college and riding in a motorcade with a politician in Argentina and came to the conclusion that the job didn’t align with her values.

“I was grateful for the job, but not about how it made me feel, which was not smart,” she said. “By the way, I was surrounded by smart women … but that wasn’t the focus.”

Meghan Markle mourns the late Queen in new interview, reveals she shared 'a nice warmth with the matriarch'
With stints on television including 'Deal or No Deal' and 'Suits,' Markle says she's done when asked if she'll return to acting, focusing instead on her podcast 'Archetypes'
By Caroline Thayer | Fox News

    Meghan Markle opened up about her family, revealing that they are going through "a complicated time."

In a new interview with Variety, Markle spoke candidly about how she and her family have been processing the Queen's death, who passed away in September at the age of 96. "There’s been such an outpouring of love and support. I’m really grateful that I was able to be with my husband to support him, especially during that time."

Despite their ever-evolving relationship with the extended royal family, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were able to maintain a close relationship with the late reigning monarch.

Markle expanded, saying, "I feel deep gratitude to have been able to spend time with her and get to know her. It’s been a complicated time, but my husband, ever the optimist, said, ‘Now she’s reunited with her husband.’"

The Queen, who accepted her grandson Prince Harry and Markle's decision to step away from senior royal duties in 2020, ruled the United Kingdom for 70 years.

"What’s so beautiful is to look at the legacy that his grandmother was able to leave on so many fronts. Certainly, in terms of female leadership, she is the most shining example of what that looks like," Markle said of the queen.

Since her passing, Markle shared that in moments of reflection, she has recalled the "first official engagement that I had with her."

She continued, "How special that felt. I feel fortunate. And I continue to be proud to have had a nice warmth with the matriarch of the family."

When asked how she has been able to process such a profound loss, Markle stated, "In big moments in life, you get a lot of perspective. It makes you wonder what you want to focus your energy on. Right now, we feel energized and excited about all of the things we’ve been building toward. We’re also focused on our foundation. So much of the work we do includes the philanthropic space."

One project that Prince Harry and his bride have in the works is an upcoming Netflix docuseries from Liz Garbus. There has been speculation that the show has been scrapped due to ongoing controversy within the royal family.

"It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story — a seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired — even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it. But that’s not why we’re telling it. We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens," Markle said.

When asked if she would return to acting, after seven seasons on the show "Suits," Markle bluntly stated, "No. I’m done. I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not."

Meghan Markle Markets the Clothes From Queen Elizabeth's Funeral
By Jim Thompson | 6:00 PM on October 20, 2022


Meghan Markle, Grand Gaslighter of the Royal Usurpers, has some stiff competition for the crassest celebrity on the planet–but she efforts every day to hold off the completion.

When she visited Uvalde and placed flowers, she had in tow in team of  media photographers and videographers for an “unannounced” visit. She marked the moment by marketing herself. My colleague Bob Hoge called her out. So did social media.

I cartooned about her royal awfulness, and her bottomless ability to make everything about “MEghan.”

(https://redstate.com/wp-content/uploads/media/2022/05/Meghan-markle-1-1110x833.jpg)

Meghan Markle hasn’t met a lie she didn’t like. She weaves myths and fantasy so often, it seems to be second nature. It likely is. She and Harry sat for an interview with Oprah, and should have burst into flames from the myth-making. But Oprah played along.

Her brand is victimhood. Everything is about her. Who hurt her. Who wouldn’t talk to her. Who wouldn’t listen to her. Who didn’t take her seriously – even when she was paid to stand and smile. In one of her latest Spotify podcast episodes, with guest Paris Hilton, the Duchess talked about her first gig in the “industry.” Markle doesn’t have turn-head beauty. She has a shapely figure and pretty face.

When the TV show “Deal or No Deal” was looking for models to hold briefcases with a number inside, she was picked because she looked like a model. Not too pretty, not plain. Not too tall, not too short. She and the other 25 models were “goldilocks.” Markle was paid to stand still hold a briefcase and smile. Nonetheless, she’s now shocked, shocked, mind you, that she was praised for her intellect. She sad that the “Deal or No Deal” producer didn’t ask her about quantum physics or debate Plato’s “The Republic” in the original Greek.

She objected to the process of making models, model-ready.

She said: “It was solely about beauty and not necessarily about brains… I was thankful for the job but not for how it made me feel which was, not smart.”

Markle felt objectified, but then went on to model partially nude. And her “Suits” character spent as much screen-time in her underwear as in her business attire.

Markle set her sights on marrying up, which I think is the ultimate in being a picked, objectified object. A shiny bauble with a smile. She can claim she married for love, but she sought out Harry like a heat-seeking missile–not for who he was but what he was. Now, she’s angry that she’s a Duchess, not a Princess.

When Queen Elizabeth died, Markle tried every angle to make it about her–where she walked, where she would sit, and what she would wear.

Now, in what should have been an anticipated move of crassness, she is marketing her funeral clothes.

https://twitter.com/Canellelabelle/status/1583058130287886337

She will never want for anything as long as she lives, but she’s marketing the clothes she wore to a relative’s funeral.

Why should anyone care? Maybe you shouldn’t. But you should realize, no matter how bad you beat yourself up over a mistake or a comment you regret, remember that no matter how crass or low you think you are, there is always Meghan Markle to top you.

Prince Harry’s Long-Awaited Memoir ‘Spare’ Arriving in Jan. 2023


Quote

Over a year after Prince Harry first revealed he was writing a memoir, his publisher announced Thursday that the much-anticipated book, Spare, will arrive in Jan. 2023.

“It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on,” publishers Penguin Random House said of Spare in a synopsis. “For Harry, this is that story at last.”

The publisher also shared Spare’s cover, and announced that Prince Harry himself will read the audiobook version of his “personal and emotionally powerful” story.

I concluded several years ago that the NYC publishing industry exists SOLELY to allow politicians and associated creatures to "launder" pay-off money.

Prince Harry didn’t make any changes to his memoir ‘Spare’ after Queen Elizabeth’s death, author claims
The queen, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, died Sept. 8 at age 96. The Duke of Sussex's highly anticipated memoir is set to be released Jan. 10.
By Stephanie Nolasco | Fox News

Prince Harry hasn’t made any changes to his highly anticipated memoir since the death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Britain’s longest-reigning monarch passed away on Sept. 8 at age 96. On Oct. 27, Penguin Random House announced that the Duke of Sussex’s book, titled "Spare," will be released Jan. 10.

"For all the tabloid reports about Harry supposedly ‘trashing’ his family (spoiler alert: he doesn’t), the book actually offers a more sympathetic look at the realities of their near-impossible existence," bestselling author and royals editor Omid Scobie wrote in his column for Yahoo! News UK on Friday.

"There were also no last-minute rewrites or edits after the queen’s death," Scobie shared. "’[The] manuscript was completed almost five months before the monarch’s passing, a detail that will be acknowledged in a note at the start of the book."

King Charles felt his mother Queen Elizabeth ‘was cold and aloof’ during ‘lonely’ childhood, author claims
Royal author Christopher Anderson wrote about Queen Elizabeth's heir in his new book, 'The King'
By Stephanie Nolasco | Fox News

Christopher Andersen believes there’s a reason why King Charles is "one of the most eccentric sovereigns Great Britain has ever had."

The author has written a new book about the monarch, titled "The King: The Life of Charles III." Andersen, who has previously written books about the British royal family, spoke to numerous palace insiders who have made shocking revelations about the 73-year-old.

"So much about Charles you could really trace back to his childhood, which was heartbreakingly lonely," Andersen recently claimed to ETOnline. "Charles has described his relationship with his mother [by saying] that she was cold and aloof, that his father was a bully who hectored him, who made him cry in front of other people, physically bullied him."

"I think it’s very telling that Charles only spent as a boy … two 15-minute periods a day [with his parents]," Andersen alleged. "… When he had a tonsillectomy, when he had a very bad case of the flu, when he fell down the stairs and broke his ankle, when he had an emergency appendectomy at the age of 13, neither his mother nor his father visited him at the hospital."

Now that the Queen has passed and Charles is King, I've lost a lot of interest.  Things will never be the same without her Majesty ruling.  Charles is a globalist.  I think we will see some very stark changes coming and changes that I don't think the people are going to be in agreement with.

This Winter is going to be a rough one for many; meanwhile the Royal family has millions. 

Then there's Harry -- who cares what this little jerk writes?  He has parted ways with the Royals, so I could care less about his book.  More trash talk and more of 'poor Markle and Harry'.  Gee, it just sucks to be them.

Princes in the Tower? King Charles Asks Parliament to Sideline Harry and Andrew

Jack Montgomery 15 Nov 2022

King Charles III has asked Parliament to effectively sideline his woke son Harry and disgraced brother Andrew by amending the Regency Act.

King Charles, 74, wishes to make his sister, the 72-year-old Princess Anne, and youngest brother, the 58-year-old Prince Edward, Counsellors of State, so they can officially deputise for him at state functions should the need arise — and Harry and Edward, who hold Counsellor roles more or less automatically despite not being “working” royals, never can.

“To ensure continued efficiency of public business when I’m unavailable, such as while I’m undertaking official duties overseas, I can confirm that I would be most content should Parliament see fit for the number of people who may be called upon to act as [Counsellors of State] under the terms of the Regency Act 1937-1953 to be increased to include my sister and brother, the Princess Royal and the Earl of Wessex and Forfar, both of whom have previously undertaken this role,” ran a message “signed by His Majesty’s own hand” and read out in the House of Lords by the Lord Chamberlain, as is customary.

The same message was also read out in the House of Commons by the Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, with the consent of both Houses being necessary to make changes of the sort requested by the King under Britain’s constitutional monarchy.

Harry and Meghan to Receive Kennedy Award for Fighting ‘Structural Racism’ in Royal Family

Peter Caddle 20 Nov 2022

Harry and Meghan are to receive a human rights award for fighting “structural racism” within the Royal Family from the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation.

For their efforts in causing chaos within the monarchy, renegade royals Harry and Meghan are to receive a human rights award, with the pair being credited as fighting “structural racism” within the institution.

The announcement has largely been ridiculed online, with a former aide to Margaret Thatcher describing the move as a “disgraceful attack” on the British monarchy.

According to the announcement on the official Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation webiste, the pair are to receive the Ripple of Hope award alongside Bank of America tsar Brian Moynihan and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.

Justifying the award, the organisation’s president, Kerry Kennedy, said that both Meghan and Harry lived up to her father Robert F. Kennedy’s belief in racial justice with their actions.

“They went to the oldest institution in UK history and told them what they were doing wrong, that they couldn’t have structural racism within the institution; that they could not maintain a misunderstanding about mental health,” Kennedy, the divorced spouse of disgraced New York governor Andrew Cuomo, told El Confidencial.

“They knew that if they did this there would be consequences, that they would be ostracized, they would lose their family, their position within this structure, and that people would blame them for it,” she continued. “They have done it anyway because they believed that they could not live with themselves if they did not question this authority. I think they have been heroic in taking this step.”

Meghan and Harry will attend an award ceremony on December 6th, during which they will receive a gong marking their alleged achievements on the issue of racial equality.

How monstrous of this pampered pair Harry and Meghan to accept a major award for saying the Royal Family is racist, writes A.N. Wilson

By A.n. Wilson For The Daily Mail

Published: 17:03 EST, 21 November 2022 | Updated: 17:08 EST, 21 November 2022

Harry and Meghan are heroes. It's official. They have been awarded a human rights award for 'their heroic stand against "structural racism" in the monarchy'.

The award is called the Ripple of Hope, and it is given by the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation, named after the former U.S. attorney general (and brother of John F. Kennedy) who was gunned down by a fanatic in the summer of 1968.

In that summer, which also saw the assassination of civil rights campaigner Dr Martin Luther King, there were indeed some heroes, of whom Dr King was the greatest.

At the time of Dr King's death, Nelson Mandela was in prison in South Africa, where the apartheid regime was in its full, hideous pomp, and Mandela had no obvious hope of ever being released. While Dr King was campaigning during the 1960s, Americans of African origin were strictly segregated in the southern states.

Even in the supposedly liberal northern states, segregation was the norm. At a beautiful swimming club where I go with my grandchildren in ultra-liberal Philadelphia, black people were not allowed to swim until 1967. It was the first place in the United States which allowed black and white friends to swim together.

So you can see why the Kennedy family established their award to combat racism. You see why they gave the award to such towering individuals as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who not only campaigned for an end to apartheid, throughout a long life, but who did so urging both sides to come together in peace. He was a genuine hero who risked his life for the cause over and over again, who lived for most of his days in poverty.

"During apartheid times, the Commonwealth wanted economic sanctions against the racist regime in South Africa. Many successive British governments disagreed. The Head of the Commonwealth, however, our late Queen, consistently sided with Mandela and the other African leaders in their demands for sanctions.

Further back, during the 1950s, it was she — after being warned by Foreign Office mandarins to keep at arm's length the Left-wing future President of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah — who actually went to Accra, the capital, and very publicly danced with the man.

.... When he was Prince of Wales, Charles reached out to immigrant communities in our burgeoning industrial cities long before it occurred to many British politicians to do so. "

...and so, the article goes on. 

And it is so true ... "For Meghan Markle and Harry Windsor to have been placed in the same category as such heroic campaigners against racism is preposterous, and their acceptance of this award a monstrous self-conceit. "

Does anyone know the significance of the yellow ribbons with Queen Elizabeth on them ?

Kate Middleton and Queen Consort Camilla Parker-Bowles could be seen wearing a special brooch in tribute to the Queen yesterday at a lavish state banquet.

The two highest-ranking females within The Firm both donned the badge of the Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II at a white-tie event on Tuesday evening.

King Charles III held the event in Buckingham Palace to mark the state visit of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Signifying an historic honour awarded to the women due to their senior positions in the Royal Family, the small diamond-encrusted brooch includes an icon of a young Queen Elizabeth II in evening dress wearing the ribbon and star of the Order of the Garter.

It also features a small red enamel Tudor Crown at the top. Both women wore the piece along with its chartreuse yellow ribbon................

New book reveals Queen's stoicism in her final months


Quote

A fascinating royal biography sheds new light on Queen Elizabeth's remarkable stoicism in the last months of her life, how she didn't hesitate to 'fire' her own son – and found comfort after her husband's death by watching Line of Duty.

Written by author and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait – which is serialised in The Mail +,  as well as in tomorrow's Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday – is littered with fascinating vignettes about our longest-serving but still so enigmatic sovereign.

Mr Brandreth, who occupies a unique position as a friend and biographer of the Royal Family, reveals how the Queen told a lady-in-waiting that she was determined to keep busy as it helped her cope with the loss in April last year of Philip, her husband of 73 years.

Princess Charlotte Reportedly Becoming ‘Duchess Of Edinburgh’ As Tribute To Queen Elizabeth

King Charles III hasn’t named his brother, Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh because he is reportedly saving the title for Charlotte.

King Charles III has reportedly been saving a special title for Princess Charlotte. The new monarch, who took over the British throne following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, is preparing to name Prince William and Kate Middleton’s middle child, who is third in line for the throne, as the Duchess of Edinburgh, per sources for DailyMail. The movie is reportedly in honor of the late Queen, who was also the Duchess of Edinburgh before becoming the ruler in 1952.

“Discussions are under way, but the favored outcome for the King is that this title ought to go to Princess Charlotte,” the insider explained. “It would be a fitting way to remember the Queen – who, of course, had the title Duchess of Edinburgh – and a way for His Majesty to honour the line of succession.”

The outlet went on to say that the revelation came after months of speculation as to why King Charles III had not named his brother, Prince Edward, as the Duke of Edinburgh following the death of their father, Prince Philip, in April 2021.

Princess Charlotte still holds the position of third in line for the throne, behind older brother Prince George, even after their younger brother Prince Louis was born, as the rules of Royal primogeniture were changed to allow a girl born to a royal couple the same rights as a boy when Princess Diana was pregnant with Prince William. With the new rule, Charlotte will not lose her order of succession until George has children. When Prince William becomes King, George will become Duke of Cornwall and then Prince of Wales – but not Duke of Edinburgh.

The DailyMail source added, “Charlotte’s position is historically significant because she is the first female member of the Royal Family whose place in the line of succession will not be surpassed by her younger brother. So it is constitutionally significant because it is not beyond the realms of possibility that she will accede the throne if, for example, Prince George does not have children.”..........

Camilla replaces traditional ladies-in-waiting with ‘Queen’s Companions’



Quote

In an early symbolic break with the past, Camilla, Queen Consort to King Charles III, has dispensed with the tradition of having ladies-in-waiting and instead appointed a group of five personal assistants who will be known as “Queen’s Companions.”

The announcement Sunday from Buckingham Palace was not a surprise, as the likelihood of such a switch was reported by the British press shortly after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Sept. 8.

Historically, British queens have tapped highborn “ladies-in-waiting” to provide company to the monarch and serve as personal assistants and loyal friends. The position dates to the Middle Ages.

But Camilla, the second wife of Charles, has done away with the traditional title and some of its duties in a modernizing move.

Meghan Markle is said to be fuming that she has no access to the royal jewels. At King Charles III’s first state dinner for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Queen Consort Camilla wore a diamond and sapphire tiara that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, while the Princess of Wales, Kate, wore the pearl and diamond tiara that was the favorite crown of the late Princess Diana. Markle is said to feel left out. Meghan is still Duchess of Sussex, but has no right to borrow the royal tiaras and gems the way her rivals do. All Meghan has is a pair of modest pearl and diamond earrings that Queen Elizabeth gave her.

Prince and Princess of Wales to Visit Boston as the Royal Family Recasts Itself

On its face, the visit by William and Catherine, the Prince and Princess of Wales, to Boston this week is typical of the British royal family’s philanthropic work.

The couple will present awards given out by the Earthshot Prize, an organization founded by William to help entrepreneurs with solutions to climate change and environmental issues.

But the visit is weighted with extra significance as William and Kate visit the United States for the first time in eight years, a time spanning a swell of change for the royal family as it tries to rebrand itself as a modern monarchy.

It will be the first visit by the royal couple to the United States since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September; the first time they touch U.S. soil since Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, left Britain for a more private life in California; the first time they are greeted by an American public that has a deeper understanding of royal life, thanks in part to Netflix’s “The Crown.”

“This is them trying to establish who they are in a more pared-down, streamlined monarchy,” said Arianne J. Chernock, a history professor at Boston University and a scholar of modern Britain. “This is a more updated, modernized family that they want to represent.”

Dr. Chernock said the Earthshot Prize, a cause that the royal family has embraced in recent years, is a way for the prince and princess to explore how they can align themselves with “core, weighty issues and maintain a sense of relevance, as well as a connection with their subjects and global population to justify their existence.”............

Buckingham Palace official resigns over ‘unacceptable’ comments to Black charity founder


Quote

An honorary member of Buckingham Palace has resigned and apologized after a Black charity founder said she was questioned about whether she was really British at a royal function on Tuesday.

The royal guest, Ngozi Fulani, is the CEO of Sistah_Space, an organization that provides specialist services to woman of African and Caribbean heritage affected by abuse.

Fulani was attending a royal function on domestic abuse on Tuesday evening when she said an honorary member of the royal household began a line of questioning that the palace called “unacceptable and deeply regrettable.”

Sistah_Space shared a rough transcript of the conversation on Twitter on Wednesday.

‘Harry & Meghan’ documentary reveals ‘what’s happening behind closed doors’
NY Post, Dec 1, 2022

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are baring it all.

The exiled Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s candid Netflix documentary series “Harry & Meghan. A Netflix Global Event” dropped its first trailer on Thursday, giving fans a glimpse at their lives.

The black-and-white one-minute teaser starts with a voice asking the couple: “Why did you want to make this documentary?”

The voice fades and the teaser then proceeds to dramatically show quick flashes of photos of the royal couple looking adoringly at each other.

A shot of the former actress, 41, baring her pregnant belly and Harry, 38, playing the guitar are also included in the photo album.

“No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors,” Harry narrated behind a snapshot of Markle looking distressed. Another scene shows her sobbing while sitting on a chair.

A photo of the former Fab Four — Prince William, Kate Middleton, Markle and Harry — are shown.

The famous photo of the “Suits” star shedding a tear at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral in September is also featured.

The Invictus Games’ founder is then seen — in color — sitting down with an interviewer, ominously saying, “I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”

A medley of baby pictures of Harry and Markle when they were young also whiz by, with the mother-of-two in the teaser concluding: “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”

A declaration of war: That's how royal insiders describe Netflix trailer for the Harry and Meghan documentary.......
Daily Mail, Dec 1, 2022

Harry and Meghan’s new Netflix documentary is being seen as a ‘declaration of war’ by the royals, sources said last night.

A promotional trailer, which was posted online on the second day of the Prince and Princess of Wales’ high-profile visit to the US, dispelled any hopes that the Sussexes are declaring a ceasefire in their acrimonious battle with the Royal Family.

As well as including dozens of supposedly private pictures from their family album, the footage includes a voiceover from Harry saying gravely, ‘no-one sees what’s happening behind closed doors’ over a black and white picture of his wife on an armchair, apparently crying.

The film then immediately cuts away to a shot focusing on a pinched-looking William and Kate at the 2019 Commonwealth Service in London, with the Sussexes sitting meekly behind them.

Richard Johnson: Meghan said to be miffed about access to royal jewels


Richard Johnson, New York Daily News
Sat, November 26, 2022 at 9:30 AM



Meghan Markle is said to be fuming that she has no access to the royal jewels. At King Charles III’s first state dinner for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Queen Consort Camilla wore a diamond and sapphire tiara that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, while the Princess of Wales, Kate, wore the pearl and diamond tiara that was the favorite crown of the late Princess Diana. Markle is said to feel left out. Meghan is still Duchess of Sussex, but has no right to borrow the royal tiaras and gems the way her rivals do. All Meghan has is a pair of modest pearl and diamond earrings that Queen Elizabeth gave her.

One reason the others can is because unlike Markle Farkle there is no concern about them being returned.

Harry and Meghan's Netflix show is a 'destructive act of revenge' that will 'widen rift with William', experts say after latest trailer claims Palace insiders leaked stories about the Sussexes - and says 'it's about hatred and race'
Daily Mail, Dec 5, 2022

Harry and Meghan's incendiary Netflix series is 'an amazing act of revenge' that will 'widen the rift' with Prince William and weaken the very institution he will inherit when he becomes King, royal experts told MailOnline today after the US streaming giant released a second trailer for the Sussexes' documentary.

In a new-one minute preview, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex lash out at the 'hierarchy of the family', claim insiders 'leaked and planted' stories about them, describe royal life as a 'dirty game', then - after footage of Princess Diana and Kate being hounded by photographers - talk about 'the pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution'.

The teaser will no doubt horrify courtiers bracing for further allegations that are likely to widen the rift between the Sussexes and the Waleses.

Speaking to MailOnline, royal author Richard Fitzwilliams speculated that the effects of the Netflix docuseries will be felt for years to come. 'This is a full frontal, extremely destructive attack on the Royal Family - the institution as well as members of those households,' he said.

He said: 'I think this will widen the rift between the brothers. There is no doubt that this Netflix series is an amazing act of revenge designed to weaken the very institution that William will inherit as future King. Of course everyone will be asking how King Charles will react to this in the short-term, but the effects of this will be felt in years to come. That's the whole point.

'This is a full frontal, extremely destructive attack on the Royal Family - the institution as well as individual households and members of those households. This series I suspect will greatly weaken the royals in the eyes of the world, especially among young people.'

During the teaser, a friend is heard claiming that the couple's experience has been 'about hatred, about race' as a strikingly intimate and previously unseen clip flashes up of an exasperated Harry holding a hand to his face as Meghan passes behind him while heavily pregnant with their daughter, Lili.

After a series of clips of photographers and newspapers being printed, Meghan says, 'I realised, they're never going to protect you' before she is seen once again crying. Harry then adds, 'I was terrified, I didn't want history to repeat itself.

@catfish1957

NOT going to happen. It would guarantee ALL the royal family personal garbage to be exposed in tell-all books,and almost certainly a movie or two. Right now they can be bought off with peanuts and since they are both whores,just a little bit of attention goes a long ways with them.

Right now they are still a part of the Royal Family,but they have no official duties and speak for no one but themselves. I'd say that is about a good of a deal as the actual Royal Family is going to get from those two.
 
Meagan will eventually get a movie gig that will put HER back in the spotlight as the Princess she thinks she is,and by the time the fame and glamour from that fades away,nobody will care enough about her to waste any column space.

As for Harry,he is nothing more than her bitch. Her "Man Ho". An accessory she allows to hang around because it benefits her at this time and will still benefit her after the eventual divorce. Once she uses her "Princess Fame" to get a starring movie role in a major movie,Harry will be reduced to carrying  her luggage and handling her mail and phone calls.

Maybe, but depends on how much of a bombshell this so called Netflix series becomes.  If it scorched earth, Buckingham Palace needs to cut him off at the f'n knees.

And BTW....  In the UK (where it counts) Harry and his whore are a tad below colonoscopies in Opinion Polls.  In fact, if the Royals stike back big time, it might work in their favor.

Cut them off from everything ......titles, pubic funding for security and transportation, access, events (including the coronation) lodging on royal property.  Harry and Meagain should be shunned with all the formality the Brits have to offer.

Harry's announced to the world the royal institution and its members are his enemy and he is out to destroy all of it.  Charles should at least help Harry be ---- for for once and for all  ---- free of it.  It's also time for Charles to protect the institution and the rest of his family from future assaults.

Netflix versus reality: Latest Sussexes trailer describing 'war against Meghan' as a 'dirty game'...uses footage of press filming Trump's ex-lawyer Michael Cohen and Katie Price outside Crawley Magistrates' Court

A new trailer for Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary uses footage of the press filming Donald Trump's shamed former lawyer Michael Cohen in New York and Katie Price outside a court in Crawley.

Just days after an image in the first teaser was revealed to be a scrum of photographers at a Harry Potter premier and another dated from when Harry was dating Chelsy Davy, it's now emerged that parts of the second advert also aren't as they seem.

A brief clip from the latest trailer shows a group of photographers rushing towards a concrete building which is clearly identifiable as Crawley Magistrates Court - where former glamour model Ms Price appeared last December to be sentenced for drink driving. 'I was terrified - I didn't want history to repeat itself,' Harry says as the footage is played.

Suspicious paparazzi pic in Harry and Meghan Netflix trailer has people asking WTH?
December 5, 2022 | Kevin Haggerty |

Even typical sycophants have grown weary of the “plight” of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the released trailer for their Netflix documentary didn’t help after a “careless” photo choice was revealed to have paparazzi hounding an entirely different Harry.

The attention-grabbing Duke and Duchess of Sussex caused a stir late last week when the trailer for their documentary series, “Harry and Meghan,” was released by Netflix just after Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton had begun their first trip to the United States in almost a decade. As reported, insiders could find no other interpretation but for the release to be considered “a declaration of war” against the Prince and Princess of Wales meant to move the spotlight.

That case was only further solidified when The Sun reported that an image meant to portray paparazzi disrupting the lives of the couple was found to be photographers documenting the London premiere of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two.”

https://twitter.com/hrrysgreysuit/status/1599119672653201408

The Sun reported, “A trailer for the couple’s upcoming documentary showed rows of photographers clamouring for the best snap. But they were really pointing their cameras at the all-star cast of the final film in JK Rowling’s wizarding franchise at an event in July 2011.”

“The image–which includes a snap of The Sun photographer Doug Seeburg–is used in the Netflix trailer before Prince Harry says in a voice-over: ‘I had to do everything I could to protect my family,'” the outlet continued.

Viewed here, the image can be seen at the 30-second mark after Harry was heard lamenting, “No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors.”

They're making a ton of $$ trashing the Royal family. Harry and his Tramp have absolutely no loyalty to family, nor shame using the race card and the poor me card. 

I would love for someone to make a documentary proving that Charles is not Harry's father. All his earth shattering news wouldn't be seen as so earth shattering, but I also think of how it would depict Princess Diana and in the long run hurt William.

Anything Kate can do...! Meghan Markle dons white off-the-shoulder dress with daring thigh-high slit to accept 'anti-racism' award in New York with Prince Harry - days after Princess of Wales wore near-identical design to Earthshot gala in Boston
Daily Mail, Dec 6, 2022

Meghan Markle appeared to take a leaf out of the Princess of Wales' style book on Tuesday night, when she donned a daring off-the-shoulder white gown, complete with thigh-high slit, to accept an 'anti-racism' award in New York alongside Prince Harry - days after Kate wore a near-identical design to the Earthshot gala in Boston.

Once inside, the couple made a very quick dash down the red carpet, failing to pause or speak to photographers, instead just flashing smiles at the cameras before heading into the gala dinner, which is being emceed by Alec Baldwin.

There is no way Meghan can ever reach the level of grace and sophistication routinely shown by Kate.  She'd have to retool her basic personality and start over from square 1 to ever have a hope of doing that.  She's nothing more than trash, always was, always will be.

‘She’s rich, what is she talking about?’ Harry and Meghan’s lecture on oppression falls flat
December 7, 2022 | Vivek Saxena

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle doubled down on their claims of being oppressed during an awards ceremony Tuesday evening.

Appearing at the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights foundation’s Ripple of Hope Awards show to reportedly receive an award for fighting alleged racism in the Royal Family, the infamous couple lectured the audience about oppression.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSXVUqdsbKU&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=TMZ

The lecture was delivered slowly and methodologically, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle each speaking one after the other.

“Bobby Kennedy said, ‘Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope,'” Prince Harry began, according to the Daily Express.

“The enduring dream of RFK of a just and peaceful world is so much more than a simple hope. It’s a direct ask, a specific challenge, a call to action, a test of individual courage and collective spirit,” Markle said next, continuing the thought.

“And his appeal to humanity is as relevant today as it was in 1966 when he stood before the University of Cape Town, a place we’ve visited and hold close to our hearts. And he delivered a vision for the common good of society. He also said those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance,” she added.

Concluding the lecture, Harry then added, “And as we all face a complete and challenging time in the world, we choose the path of optimism of care for each other and our communities. We understand this honor, not about the culmination of a life’s work, but instead, and in many ways for us, a beginning.”

Their woe-is-me remarks provoked mockery.

‘She’s rich, what is she talking about?’ Harry and Meghan’s lecture on oppression falls flat
December 7, 2022 | Vivek Saxena

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle doubled down on their claims of being oppressed during an awards ceremony Tuesday evening.

Appearing at the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights foundation’s Ripple of Hope Awards show to reportedly receive an award for fighting alleged racism in the Royal Family, the infamous couple lectured the audience about oppression.

 Prince Harry Salutes Navy Servicemen in New Photos from Surprise Pearl Harbor Visit on Veterans Day
An eyewitness told PEOPLE Prince Harry was "very respectful" while while touring the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii last month

 Prince Harry is saluting American forces.

On Tuesday, Pearl Harbor Day, the prince's Archewell Foundation posted previously unseen photos from Harry's surprise visit to Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii on Veterans Day. In the five photos, Harry, 38, saluted Navy personnel in formation, posed with servicemen and their families, toured a USS Missouri memorial wall, and shook hands with Admiral John Aquilino, commander of the U.S. Indo Pacific Command.

"In November, ahead of the 81st commemoration of Pearl Harbor Day, The Duke of Sussex visited Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Honolulu – a monument honoring the thousands of servicemembers and civilians affected by the tragedy," Archewell said in an accompanying statement. "As part of The Duke's continued commitment to remembering and honoring military personnel, veterans and families, he toured the sites of the USS Missouri and the USS Arizona alongside Admiral Samuel Paparo (Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet) and Admiral John Aquilino (Commander, U.S Indo Pacific Command), paying his respects with a ceremonial laying of flowers at the reflection pool."

Thanks for posting this pic @Right_in_Virginia   This is my absolute favorite gown on her.  She looks absolutely radiant. I thought that the tiara and earrings really complimented the dress; she chose well.

The other pictures are great as well. She looked stunning in the cream colored gown as well.

Harry and Meghan Feature Prof Who Said Queen ‘Wanted’ to Be White Supremacy Figurehead in Netflix Doc

Jack Montgomery8 Dec 20222
4:29

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle featured a professor who said the Queen “wanted to be a figurehead for white supremacy” after her death in their tell-all Netflix series.

Harry and Meghan, properly titled Meghan, Duchess of Sussex due to the Queen having personally granted her a courtesy title and allowing her to keep it after she and her husband abandoned their public duties as “working royals” to pursue activism and money-making ventures in  North America, featured a number of woke academics in Netflix’s Harry & Meghan, of which they are credited as producers — but the inclusion of Kehinde Andrews is particularly eyebrow-raising.

Andrews, who serves as Britain’s inaugural “black studies” professor at the publicly-funded Birmingham City University — which he has accused of racism, despite the sinecure —  appears in episode three of the series to help lambast the Commonwealth of Nations, an intergovernmental forum comprised largely but not exclusively of states formerly incorporated in the British Empire, which was hugely important to the Queen.

Andrews claimed that nothing has changed since the Empire was dismantled, it just has “better PR”, and claimed that the conditions of black people in the Commonwealth today “are almost just as bad as they were 50 years ago or 100 years ago.”

The woke academic’s appearances in the series so far have been brief compared to that of the much more heavily featured Afua Hirsch, who has previously called for Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square to be toppled, and David Olusoga, who appeared in court to help justify a mob destroying a historic statue during the Black Lives Matter unrest of 2020 — but that he was featured at all is shocking given his denunciation of the Queen as a willing symbol of white supremacy.

88devil   Simply a beautiful essay. Here are some snippets -----

The $100m 'Harry and Meghan' is panned… and finally the karmic wheels of justice turn against two untalented, ungrateful hypocrites. No one deserves it more – so let’s savor it!
Daily Mail, Dec 9, 2022,  MAUREEN CALLAHAN

Netflix overpaid.

As with nearly everything Harry and Meghan do, 'Volume I' of their Netflix docuseries is pompous, mean, self-aggrandizing, and yet more of their specialty: Over-promise and under-deliver.

The much-ballyhooed 'Harry & Meghan' has landed with a thud. The reviews have been scathing: The Hollywood Reporter rightly says the show 'takes a lot of time to reveal very little.' The Atlantic asks if Harry and Meghan 'really want to spend the next 40 years as small angry planets trapped in the gravitational pull of the Windsors?' And Variety says, 'The Sussexes surprise us yet again with just how narrow their vision of fame is, how pinched and unimaginative their presence on the world stage has become.’

Finally, the karmic wheels of justice are turning towards these two self-pitying, untalented, ungrateful hypocrites. No one deserves it more. Let's savor it, shall we?

[...]

Or like the moment when Harry says of Meghan's father — a man who raised Meghan largely on his own, who contributed to the cost of her private elementary school and college — 'She doesn't have a father' — ?

This is as cutting a remark as Harry's deeply implied accusation here that his brother, the future king, couldn't marry for love.

If there was any hope of reconciliation with William, Harry just torched it.

And what has Kate ever done to deserve such bile from her brother-in-law? These are the parents of his niece and nephews, his children's cousins — but as we know, Harry and Meghan play checkers, not chess, and they play with cold hands and even colder hearts. They don't think or strategize long term. They're all about the twisted, short-term dopamine hits they get from acting out their never-ending victimhood.

[...]

As for the tea spilled here, it's cold, weak and bitter. Let's listen as Meghan, sitting in an enormous room sheathed in pastel draperies and soft lighting — a halo effect, if you will, for our greatest living saint since Angelina Jolie — talk about having to dim her light, her beauty, her overpowering star wattage, so as not to outshine Kate or the Queen.

Reader, brace yourself: Meghan Markle couldn't wear bold colors in public.  Well, not so much couldn't — wouldn't. Meghan is just that much of a humanitarian.

Faint exasperation creeps into Meghan's voice as she re-enacts her epiphany. Cut to a still photo of Meghan dressed in dull brown walking alongside Kate, resplendent in a jewel-toned, gold-buttoned coat.

'Camel, beige, white,' Meghan gripes. 'So I wore a lot of muted tones, but also it was so I could just blend in.'

Strap yourselves in for this one: 'I'm not trying to stand out here,' Meghan says. 'There's no version of me joining this family and trying to not do everything I could to fit in.'

[...]

Back to Meghan reenacting her introduction to the queen, performing a theatrically deep curtsy and wiggling her eyebrows mockingly as she laughs and says, in a sickly-sweet fake voice, 'Pleasure to meet you, your majesty.'

Harry looks nothing short of pained.

He should consider this a preview of the rest of his life until the woman he's left everything and everyone for will surely train her venom, her victimhood, and her penchant for publicly tearing down close family members squarely on him.

There's no doubt it will happen or that Harry will deserve it.

IMHO Markle will eventually drain Harry of everything he has and then kick him to the curb.  His ties with his family will never be the same and it was obvious his last trip back to the UK that he wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms. The redheaded stepchild has a few painful lessons to learn.

@mystery-ak

I suspect they see that as good news because it practically guarantees them "more fame and fortune" when they start taking bids to sell their story on how they reacted to that,and what the Royals told them.

Meagan is an attention whore (gee,who would think an actress would seek constant attention and press?),and Harry is just "whipped".

I can find no explanation for him being "whipped" because he was a good-looking wealthy man with ties to the Royal Family. I suspect he turned down more offers of sex with beautiful women that most men get in a lifetime.

Maybe it was the "exotic black blood" thing? Although I have no doubt she was NOT the first woman he banged with some black blood in her.

There just ain't no explanation for love,but there can be NO doubt about him being "whipped".

THE perfect description of these two.

I am eaten alive with jealousy because I didn't think of it,but once I saw your post I knew it was THE perfect description for these two parasites.

I think their run is going to be a short one,though. After this tv thing,they will be out of dirt to sell and nobody will want anything to do with these two parasites.

Meagan MIGHT get another tv role or a movie role out of it because Hollywood producers are all whores regardless of gender,but I suspect she will be proven to be a negative influence on the ticket sales. In Hollywood" EVERYBODY wabts t be your friend when you are hot,but once that ends,so do you career-wise. Nobody will even answer your phone calls.

Rays of royal sunshine! William and Kate release Christmas card showing beaming George, Charlotte and Louis – in stark contrast to pained picture of The Firm painted by Harry and Meghan

It is an enchanting image of a happy young family striding confidently toward the future.

The annual Christmas card from the Prince and Princess of Wales would, of course, have been chosen several months ago and follows a familiar theme, whereby the couple offer the public a glimpse of their rapidly growing trio of children – in thanks for the support they receive.

But what a contrast to the picture painted in recent days by Harry and Meghan of a dynasty hampered by the heavy weight of expectation and tradition – and where the men marry not for love, but to 'fit the mould'.

And its irony is lost on no one, coming ahead of the second part of the Sussexes' Netflix documentary tomorrow in which they are set to make a slew of allegations against the Royal Family.

What an absolutely beautiful picture of the Waleses!!  That is indeed what a family portrait should be; showing each and every member of the family. I can't believe how much the children have grown.  William and Kate should indeed be proud and it shows.  The portrait is natural; nothing forced or staged.

A very lovely picture of Charles and Camilla as well.

'Harry & Meghan' documentary ranks as Netflix's biggest documentary debut

Quote


LOS ANGELES, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Netflix Inc's NFLX.O documentary series about Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan racked up more viewing time on the streaming service than any other documentary during its first week, the company said on Tuesday.

The first three episodes of "Harry & Meghan" recorded 81.55 million viewing hours after its debut last Thursday, Netflix said in a statement. More than 28 million households watched at least part of the series.

"Harry & Meghan" was the second-most watched English-language series on Netflix globally between Dec. 5 and 11, behind only Addams Family drama "Wednesday." "Harry & Meghan" was the number one English-language series during the week in Britain.

Harry says William screamed at him as the Queen looked on in new Netflix docuseries
By Isabel Keane   
December 15, 2022 8:00am

Prince Harry said it was “terrifying” to have his brother, Prince William, “scream and shout” at him during a meeting about the Sussexes splitting from the royal family.

In the final installment of Harry and Duchess Meghan’s Netflix docuseries, he detailed asking for a “half in, half out” agreement, where he and his wife would have their own jobs but still do some work in support of the Queen.

However, during a family meeting to discuss their options, “it became very clear very quickly that goal was not up for discussion or debate.”  ...

“It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father saying things that just simply weren’t true, and my grandmother quietly sit there and sort of take it all in,” he said in the show.  ...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle risk becoming most hated royal couple
Harry is following in the footsteps of his great-great uncle, the reviled Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor

By Lee Cohen | Fox News

In the latest humiliation for embattled royals Harry and Meghan, the couple have been urged to stay away from the May coronation of Harry’s father, King Charles III. This is a serious gauge of public anger against the Sussexes, considering a coronation is a most important milestone in a sovereign’s reign. 

It is a clear reflection of the anguish they have caused Harry’s family and the nation, the latest example being the recently released Netflix series where the Sussexes air new grievances against Harry’s family and birthright. 

Another flawed royal, exiled from his family’s good graces, was Harry’s great great uncle, the Duke of Windsor, who attended neither the coronation of his brother George VI in 1937, nor of his niece, Queen Elizabeth in 1953. The parallels hardly end there.

Harry Suggests Senior Royals Turned on Meghan as, Like Diana, She was Just Too Popular

Jack Montgomery 15 Dec 2022

Prince Harry has suggested that senior royals turned on his Diana-like wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, because she was “doing the job better” than them and overall just too popular with the public.

In the final three episodes of the Netflix docu-series they have produced, irrelevant social justice issues such as imperialism and the historic slave trade take a back seat to the royal infighting and personal psychodrama of their brief stint as working royals, which they gave up to pursue activism and a celebrity lifestyle in California.

One of their strongest narratives is that other royal communications teams were deliberately feeding the press stories about Meghan in order to shine the wheels of their own principles — or bury negative coverage of them in exchange for negative coverage of Meghan — with Harry suggesting that the root of the trouble may have been jealousy that they were too good in their public roles.

“When someone who’s marrying in, who should be a ‘supporting act’, is then stealing the limelight, or is doing the job better than the person who was born to do this, that upsets people, it shifts the balance” Harry suggested, with the show helpfully illustrating his point by overlaying an image of a newspaper headline claiming — perhaps dubiously — that Meghan was more popular than the Queen.

Harry says survival of the monarchy is 'ingrained' in his brother

Harry reflects on his relationship with his brother Prince William and how it has been affected.

He says: 'The saddest part of it was thie wedge created between myself and my brother so that he's now on the institution's side.

'Part of that, I get. I understand that, right? That's.. that's his inheritance. So to some extent it's already ingrained in him that his responsibility is the survival and continuation of this institution.'

He claims a 'joint statement' from the Palace disputing claims William had 'bullied' Meghan out of the Royal Family was made without his consent.

He says: 'I couldn't believe it. No one had asked me. No one had asked me permission to put my name to a statement like that.'

Harry says he told her about the statement which left her in 'floods of tears'.

He says: 'Within four hours they were happy to lie to protect my brother, and yet for three years, they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us.'

The couple describe this as the turning point in which they decided: 'There was no other option.'

Harry recalls saying: 'We need to get out of here.'

 Prince Harry’s a cold-hearted traitor to his family and his country
By Piers Morgan   
December 15, 2022 11:00am

‘Above all, LOVE WINS!’ exclaims Meghan Markle at the end of another three-hour whine-a-thon about her oppressed life as a spoiled brat princess, which even included footage of her watching herself whining about the same stuff to Oprah Winfrey last year.

There’s not much more to say about this ruthless social-climbing piece of work who played the Royal Family like a greedy fame-hungry viola, though sadly I will probably be compelled to, such is her unquenchable craving for barreling her way into the news cycle.

At the start of the second, and thankfully final part of her and Prince Harry’s nauseating, tawdry and staggeringly narcissistic Netflix reality series, Meghan finally grasps a tiny semblance of self-awareness when she describes herself, quoting a Palace staffer, as a ‘foreign organism’ that infiltrated the Monarchy.

I’d say she was more of a virus, and a particularly virulent one.

But Meghan’s got what she wanted – global celebrity, a ton of money, and a royal title she continues to exploit to the highest bidder.

The series confirmed everything I thought about her, and none of it is complimentary. Anyone who disowns her own family including her ailing father for cooperating with a photographer to improve his derided image, wouldn’t think twice of encouraging her hapless husband to torch his family.

But my anger at her cynical royal-bashing antics is nothing compared to what I think of Harry’s.

After all, she’s just a divorced American C-list actress now gleefully playing the role of her life, doubtless cheered on by many other woke young women in the US who wish they’d snared themselves a handsome Prince lottery ticket too, and who will fully buy into her ‘it’s all been such a racist struggle’ claptrap.

Queen Elizabeth’s iconic 21st birthday speech edited in ‘Harry & Meghan’ docuseries: ‘Totally misleading’
Queen Elizabeth II's 21st birthday speech in Cape Town, South Africa is considered one of her finest

By Cortney O'Brien | Fox News

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's documentary is under fire again after observant viewers noticed it played an edited version one of Queen Elizabeth II's most famous speeches.

"I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong," then-Princess Elizabeth said in Cape Town, South Africa, on April 21, 1947.

But that's not what viewers heard in the documentary. In the third episode of Part I of "Harry & Meghan," during a discussion of the British monarchy and the Commonwealth, the section in the speech where the Queen says "your service" is omitted. At one point, writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsh describes the Commonwealth as "Empire 2.0."

"I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to the service of our great Imperial family to which we all belong," the edited audio sounds on the documentary.

https://twitter.com/Knesix/status/1602374663023247362

The intention of edit, some critics allege, was to make the Queen's pledge of service "seem as if it was all about the empire and nothing else."

The Queen's former spokesman Dickie Arbiter told Newsweek that the edit is "totally misleading and misrepresenting" what the princess said. 

"My guess is had she been alive they wouldn't have done it," he mused. "This is a duplicitous way of authoring history."

 Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte match in maroon for Christmas concert

(https://pagesix.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/duchess-kate-royals-christmas-concert_03.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=2000)

The royals are spreading Christmas cheer, singing loud for all to hear.

Kate Middleton looked holiday-ready in a maroon coat dress with a matching clutch and pumps as she arrived at Westminster Abbey today for her second annual “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas” concert.

And her 7-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, looked every inch her mom’s mini-me in a double-breasted burgundy coat of her own — which she wore with navy tights and shoes, the better to complement brother Prince George’s and father Prince William’s matching dark blue coats and trousers.

The only real difference between the two princes’ looks were their ties: William, 40, opted for a merlot-colored accessory that matched his wife’s look, while 9-year-old George went for a striped navy number.

The Waleses were joined at the Christmas concert by King Charles III and Queen Camilla, along with Princesses Beatrice and Princess Eugenie (joined by their respective husbands, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank), Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton, and Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton (joined by husband James Matthews), among other extended family members.

'The View' host Sunny Hostin rages at 'racist' royal family after release of 'Harry & Meghan' docuseries
Hostin said Harry and Meghan 'are suffering' and now taking over 'their narrative'

By Hanna Panreck | Fox News

"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin raged at the royal family on Thursday while the hosts discussed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new documentary on Netflix.

Fellow co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin gently critiqued the couple, arguing that they should have a more global perspective on "suffering" as they live in a $30 million home, though she noted they are "charitable people."

"I don’t think you should compare oppression. I don’t think you can compare suffering. They are suffering, and they took over their narrative, and they had every single right to do that, and I think what they went through in terms of how racist that family was against her, in terms of how that racist country was against her, that’s something that King Charles can handle and can take care of, and he seems not to be able to do that," Hostin responded.

Harry and Meghan will be invited to King Charles’s Coronation, despite the fallout from their explosive Netflix documentary.

Although the official invitations for next year’s historic event have yet to go out, several well-placed sources have told the Daily Mail that Charles has graciously extended an olive branch to his son and daughter-in-law and told them they will be welcome.

His view is understood not to have changed despite the most recent brickbats thrown at him and other family members by the couple as part of their multi-million-pound deal with the streaming giant.

Subtle dig? Kate Middleton wears matching burgundy outfit with Pippa and Zara Tindall after Meghan Markle claimed she wasn't allowed to wear the same color as other members of royal family in Netflix docuseries

    Many people are convinced Kate - and some other members of the royal family - threw shade towards Meghan by wearing matching burgundy outfits
    Kate, 40, daughter Charlotte, seven, sister Pippa, 39, and Zara Tindall, 41, all donned similar maroon-colored looks to a Christmas service on Thursday
    The coordinated ensembles come days after Meghan claimed she often wore muted colors during appearances to avoid clashing with other royal members
    Meghan said in her and Prince Harry's new Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, that she tried to 'tone down' her outfits to ensure she didn't overshadow anyone
    The Duchess, 41, also said she was told she 'shouldn't be wearing the same color as one of the other, more senior members of the family' 
    But the royals seemed to shut these allegations down - and throw a subtle dig towards Meghan - by showing up in the same shade of red on Thursday evening

Did Kate Middleton just make a subtle dig at Meghan Markle after the release of her Netflix docuseries?

Many people on the web are convinced that the Princess of Wales - and some other members of the royal family - threw shade at the Duchess of Sussex by wearing matching burgundy outfits on Thursday evening.

Numerous members of the royal family showed up to Kate's Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey in London in similar maroon-colored looks, just days after Meghan claimed that she often wore muted colors during appearances to avoid clashing with other royal members.

No,they won't. He is supposed to be worth more than 30 million in trust fund inheritance,AND being a member of the British Royalty (not really,but it is the polite lie everyone has agreed to pretend to believe since he IS related to them via marriage via his slut mother.)

Because of his social position,millionaires and billionaires all over the west will be offering him and his ho free "everything they want" if they will live for free off of them and give their social status a boost.

I doubt it. HOW is she going to do any "better" in a social sense? She was a "B level actress" (I honestly thought she should have been an A list actress based on the series I saw her on),and at MOST she will have ONE movie and it will be based on her life as a Royal who was dumped. After that,she has shot her wad and nobody will hire her for a car dealership opening.

Maybe this will be aired somewhere,but it won't be in the US or GB. Won't happen here because the wealthy dream of BEING someone like her,and the Royal Family has too much respect and too many followers in GB for this to get produced.

I seriously doubt it will happen,and I seriously doubt he would care if it did. Millions of dollars is the best insulation there is. He will never see any shortage of fawning people,especially females,wanting to be seen with him in the hope that some of the fame will rub off.

Hate to tell you, but $30M won't last with thier lifestyles and expenses.  Without a ready steady income to supplant, I am guessing they run out in 3-6 years.  When you are accustomed to the finest things of life, you pay for them.

Because of his social position,millionaires and billionaires all over the west will be offering him and his ho free "everything they want" if they will live for free off of them and give their social status a boost.

Do you realize that the Harry's biting the hand that feeds you strategy will backfire if he is successful.  If UK royals become Persona-nongrata, he'll follow suit shortly. And oops, there goes the money, the prestige, and the influence.

That "B" listing will keep her in the game if this falls apart.  Even JJ Walker is relevant as a trivia question and hawker of Medicare Services and Reverse Mortgages.  The Strumpet could do the same.

Their mansion is worth $15 million. Imagine the mortgage (unless they paid cash, then half of his inheritance is tied up in it), property taxes, security, maintenance costs, utility bills, etc ..... that can whittle away that nest egg pretty quickly without a steady stream of high income.

How long he can keep that going depends on him and how he acts towards the lefties that want him to be an Icon.

Probably the best analogy to this phenomenom was Edward VIII's scandal with Wallis Simpson.  From 1937 to about 5-10 years this stuff stayed front page news scandal, but interest faded, and everyone forgot by the 50's, except for the hard core Royal watchers.  World War 2 mattered more obviously.

And don't forget....   This was a sitting King, not a nut-less Prince and his strumpet wench who can't hide their  perpencity for grifiting. I give this shit-storm at the most 10 years, before no one cares.

Harry and Meghan Seek ‘Airing of Grievances’ Showdown with Palace

Simon Kent18 Dec 2022210
2:03

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say their struggle is real and seek a showdown with Buckingham Palace so they can air their grievances over the “unfairness” of their Royal life so far.

The Sun newspaper reports the Sussexes are pushing for Prince Harry’s family to make the first peace offering at a Royal summit convened as a form of emotional reparations.

The California-based pair are said to want the “reconciliation meeting” before the coronation of King Charles III next May, to which they will reportedly be invited.

A well-placed source further told the Times the Sussexes want the Royal family to take responsibility for the “hurt and damage” the couple claim to have suffered in every aspect of their lives.

https://twitter.com/BreitbartNews/status/1408090374611079176

A Palace source suggested to the newspaper King Charles could be open to a meeting, adding: “If they want to get in touch with the King, they know where he lives.”

But Harry’s autobiography Spare — released next month — is understood to contain “more incendiary” claims which may also need addressing.

On Netflix he accused brother William of raising his voice, “screaming and shouting” during Megxit talks and claimed Charles said things that “simply weren’t true.”

For her part, Meghan took the opportunity to recall the moment she landed in Canada from England in March 2020 hours after finishing her and Harry’s last official event as working members of the Royal Family.

“I tried so hard,” she said she told a security guard, before claiming “that’s the piece that’s so triggering” while lamenting the couple’s every action seemed to have been held up to public ridicule.

Meghan Markle and Harry want 'apology' and 'royal summit' with family post Netflix docuseries
Netflix released the final three episodes of 'Harry and Meghan' which details the events surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex leaving the royal family
By Tracy Wright | Fox News

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed their side of why they left the royal family in a six-part documentary series released through Netflix.

Now with their grievances aired, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly seeking a "royal summit" with family members to address concerns voiced in the docuseries. In addition, Meghan and Harry want an "apology" from his family.

During the six-hour, episodic documentary, Harry and Meghan both detailed instances where Markle, who is bi-racial, felt unsupported by the Palace while being racially targeted by the British press. 

The Netflix series followed the beginning of their relationship in 2016, their marriage in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in 2018, and their ultimate decision to step back as senior members of the royal family in 2020 following what they claimed was scrutiny from inside and outside the Palace.

Harry and Markle want an apology for what? Supposedly poor Markle found out that she and Harry didn't place before William & Kate's kids; therefore the reasoning must be racist?

Frankly, if I were Charles I wouldn't give them the time of day and I certainly wouldn't let them step foot back inside their home. Obviously Charles is being the bigger person, but I see the invitation to his coronation as an admission of wrong doing to the Sussexes.  I realize it's his son, but Harry needs to realize what his tramp has done to his family. I'm sure  Harry believes all of her b.s., not to mention that trashing his family is bringing in a few pennies. People will eventually tire of the squabble and Markle's whining.

Prince Andrew Gets the Boot as King Charles Evicts Him From Buckingham Palace
By Bob Hoge | 11:15 PM on December 23, 2022

The Jeffrey Epstein saga lives on, even if the disgraced pedophile financier doesn’t after meeting his maker in a suspicious suicide in 2019. On Friday, newly-crowned King Charles III tossed out Prince Andrew and removed him from all facets of royal life after the prince was caught up in the sex scandal.

The DailyMail, always on top of all stories royal, wrote:

Quote
    The Duke of York was told to no longer use Buckingham Palace as an office space, effectively severing his final tie to his old life as a working royal, according to a new report in The Sun.

    ‘Any presence at the Palace is officially over,’ a source was quoted as saying. ‘The King has made it clear. He isn’t a working royal. He’s on his own.’

Andrew had already stepped back from public life three years ago after a disastrous BBC interview, but the 62-year-old will now no longer be allowed to use the palace address for any future correspondence. His small staff will also reportedly be looking for jobs. He also loses any remaining titles, including that of the colonel of the Grenadier Guards, a title he inherited from his father, Prince Philip. He will also lose his armed security, and instead will have private security furnished only with tasers.

It’s been quite a fall from grace for the prince. As the Epstein scandal broke, photos of Andrew in the sex trafficker’s presence began turning up, and one in particular cost him dearly: the infamous snap of him with his arm around 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre. She claimed she had sex with Andrew on several occasions at the behest of Epstein, and she finally brought a suit against him. He settled in February for a reported $12 million. (As you can see from the headline below, estimates vary.)

A Hollywood agent told The Mail on Sunday: 'I would find it surprising if Meghan didn't publish her own story, to be honest. Spare is clearly Prince Harry's chance to tell his, but hers is equally compelling. I mean, how many actresses end up marrying a Prince?'

The source added: 'If she's harbouring political ambitions it would make even more sense,' pointing out that Presidents Clinton, Obama and Trump all wrote books setting out their beliefs before launching bids for the White House. ...

Plus,just like in America,there is no better way to launder money that writing and publishing a book.

Prince Harry states he wants his father and brother 'back,' alleges planting of stories in upcoming interviews
Prince Harry's memoir, 'Spare,' is set to be released on Jan. 10

By Haley Chi-Sing | Fox News

Prince Harry will be sitting down for two tell-all interviews this upcoming weekend.

In one of the sit-downs, the Duke of Sussex states he wants his brother and father "back," while also alleging stories were planted as he and his wife, Meghan Markle, attempted to step back from royal duties. Both interviews are set to air ahead of the release of his memoir, "Spare," on Jan. 10. 

Harry's two interviews will premiere on Sunday, Jan. 8, when he will be speaking with ITV's Tom Bradby as well as Anderson Cooper for his first U.S. interview on "60 Minutes."

"They've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile," Harry is seen saying in a promo clip for his ITV interview. "I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back," he added of King Charles and Prince William. 

Harry was also shown saying that "they feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains" – though it was not clear who he was referring to.

Prince Harry has claimed his brother William grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the floor during a heated argument over his wife Meghan Markle. 

In an extraordinary excerpt from his upcoming autobiography Spare, Harry recalls what he describes as a physical attack by his sibling, which he claims left him with visible injuries. 

The furious row allegedly broke out at his London home in 2019, during which William, the now Prince of Wales, is said to have branded Meghan 'difficult', 'rude' and 'abrasive'.

Prince Harry claims William and Kate Middleton told him to wear Nazi costume
Page Six,  Jan 4,  2023

Prince Harry sensationally puts some of the blame for his Nazi uniform scandal on his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, in his new memoir, sources tell Page Six.

The Duke of Sussex will claim the Prince and Princess of Wales “howled with laughter” when they saw him dressed up for the 2005 party.

Harry was 20 years old when the Sun newspaper published a front-page photo of him dressed as a Nazi soldier with a red armband emblazoned with a big swastika.

The picture was taken at a costume party with a “Native and Colonial” theme, where William was also a guest and was dressed in a homemade lion outfit.

In one segment of the book, obtained by Page Six, Harry writes about choosing the outfit, revealing that it was a toss-up between two costumes: a pilot or a Nazi.

“I phoned Willy and Kate, asked what they thought. Nazi uniform, they said,” Harry writes, adding that when he went home and tried it on for them, “They both howled. Worse than Willy’s leotard outfit! Way more ridiculous! Which, again, was the point.”

REPORT: Prince Harry Claims He Has Killed 25 People

Harry’s reported confession was tied to his time as an Apache helicopter pilot, according to The Telegraph. He served in Afghanistan as an air controller in air raids from 2007-2008 then piloted an attack helicopter starting in 2012. Harry said he undertook six missions as a pilot that led to “the taking of human lives,” according to The Telegraph. Harry said he compared eliminating targets like removing “chess pieces” from a board, according to the outlet.

“My number is 25. It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me,” Harry wrote. He claimed to have had video cameras mounted on the nose of his helicopter which enabled him to assess his kill count, according to The Telegraph.

Prince Harry Reportedly Says Drugs Helped Him Find ‘The Truth’

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, reportedly said in his memoir that using psychedelic drugs allowed him to see “the truth” and helped him therapeutically throughout his life.

The prince’s upcoming memoir, “Spare,” reveals how he allegedly used the psychedelic drugs for fun and for his mental health, according to The Telegraph. While under the drugs’ influence, he was ostensibly able to explore “another world where the red mist didn’t exist” which enabled him to escape and “redefine” his reality.

Prince Harry claimed he was able to hold on to the experience and see the other world in a way that was “just as real and twice as beautiful,” which strengthened his belief that “this is not all there is,” and that “only the truth existed,” according to The Telegraph.

He said: “Leonardo Da Vinci once said: 'He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year'.

“Prince Harry's latest revelations in his memoir 'Spare' are clearly a tragic money-making scam to fund the lifestyle he can't afford and someone else has chosen. Amongst his assertions is a claim that he killed 25 people in Afghanistan.

Prince Harry Claims Magic Mushrooms, Cannabis, Cocaine Let Him See ‘The Truth’

While cocaine made him feel “different” it did not, the prince recalls, make him notably happier — but taking magic mushrooms in California while drunk of tequila had a more profound impact.

Harry recalled seeing a bathroom rubbish bin appearing to stare at him and growing a head, while a toilet turned into a head as well and began talking to him — an incident he described as “the experience of a lifetime”. He also asked the moon to change his life.

Prince Harry Reportedly Writes About Those James Hewitt Rumors in His Memoir

Story by Lauren Hubbard
Jan. 6, 2023

American audiences may not recognize James Hewitt's name in season four of The Crown, but the military man is at the heart of one of the biggest scandals to besiege the monarchy in the late 20th century. Here's everything you need to know.  ...

Not long after he became Diana's riding instructor, the two became romantically involved—an arrangement that would last for several years. The Princess's marriage to Prince Charles was known to be rocky by the time she met Hewitt, and Charles was reportedly already carrying on his own liaison with his former girlfriend (and future wife) Camilla Parker-Bowles, which Diana's bodyguard, Wharfe, posited may have contributed to her willingness to begin an affair with Hewitt.  ...

As a consequence of Hewitt's romance with Diana, fans have frequently speculated that Hewitt could, be the father of Prince Harry, citing a resemblance between the two—their red hair, in particular. Hewitt has uniformly denied these claims. Likewise, Wharfe wrote, "A simple comparison of dates proves it is impossible for Hewitt to be Harry’s father.... Harry was born on September 15, 1984, which means he was conceived around Christmas 1983, when his brother, William, was 18 months old. Diana did not meet James Hewitt until the summer of 1986." ...

Prince Harry reportedly writes in Spare that King Charles joked about his parentage.

"Pa liked telling stories, and this was one of the best in his repertoire. He’d always end with a burst of philosophizing … Who knows if I’m really the Prince of Wales? Who knows if I’m even your real father?" he writes, according to a leak obtained by Page Six. "He’d laugh and laugh, though it was a remarkably unfunny joke, given the rumor circulating just then that my actual father was one of Mummy’s former lovers: Major James Hewitt. One cause of this rumor was Major Hewitt’s flaming ginger hair, but another cause was sadism."

Charles, Harry writes, never spoke to him about the Hewitt rumors. He also writes that though the tabloids loved the idea, "Maybe it made them feel better about their lives that a young prince’s life was laughable. Never mind that my mother didn’t meet Major Hewitt until long after I was born." ...

Surprise! Harry is every bit as awful as Meghan
By Andrea Widburg

I’m sure I was not alone in feeling that Harry was one of those okay guys who fell in love with the wrong woman, turned into a milquetoast, and allowed her to call the shots in their relationship, no matter how stupid, cruel, or self-centered those shots were. Harry’s memoir, however, establishes that the low-IQ but ordinary guy we thought we knew was, in reality, every bit as awful as his wife.

The one-time Prince Harry always seemed like an impressively ordinary guy for someone raised in the Royal Family. He publicly went through his stupid teens and early 20s but seemed to settle down after seeing active duty in Iraq and founding the Invictus Games. When Prince William and Kate became an item, Harry seemed happy palling around with them.

And then, Meghan Markle appeared. The world thought it witnessed her transforming Harry into an awful version of a California guy, whining with his posh accent about getting in touch with his feelings. We immediately knew that Markle was a bad apple using the royal family’s stratospheric fame, along with the race and sex cards, to elevate her status in the world, maybe right into the White House.

Prince Harry 'ambushing' the Royal Family on an 'almost weekly' basis harmed the frail Queen's health in the last year of her life, sources close to the late monarch claimed.

Public attacks on the Royal Family by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 'took its toll' on the late Queen - who disliked confrontation - and impacted her wellbeing before her death in September last year, her friends reportedly said.

Queen Elizabeth II considered Harry a 'much-loved grandson' which made his frequent criticisms of the royals even more agonising for her to bear, they added.

"Please tell me I misheard that?' Prince Harry is accused of 'jaw dropping hypocrisy' as social media erupts over ITV interview after he told Tom Bradby how he hopes any conversation with his family 'will be in private'

Prince Harry was last night accused of 'jaw dropping hypocrisy' after using a primetime interview promoting his bombshell memoirs to reveal he hopes any reconciliation with his family would be in private.

The Duke of Sussex made his plea despite having launched a media blitz on both sides of the Atlantic to promote 'Spare' and having just appeared on a tell-all Netflix docu-series with his wife, Meghan Markle.

There was disbelief when Harry told ITV's Tom Bradby that whatever he says to William in future will remain 'private', despite using his memoirs, TV interviews, a Netflix documentary as well as an Oprah special to spill the beans on what his family said to him and Meghan behind closed doors.

Royal family thinks Prince Harry has been ‘kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy and Meghan’

By Lee Brown
January 10, 2023

Prince Harry’s family believes he’s been “kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy” and his wife, Meghan Markle, according to a report.

Harry admitted in his memoir, “Spare,” that as far back as 2019, Prince William, feared his brother “was being ‘brainwashed'” by therapy — sparking the final fight in their tense relationship.

Now a royal source has told The Independent that the family fears it has fully lost him to the cult-like beliefs it clearly blames on his Californian actress wife, Markle.

Harry Says Meghan ‘Not Visibly Black’ But Family Still Needs Unconscious Bias Training

Jack Montgomery 10 Jan 2023

Prince Harry bizarrely claimed that his wife Meghan is “not visibly black” but is still subjected to racism by the press on American television.

Speaking to Michael Strahan on Good Morning America as part of the publicity drive for his ghostwritten memoir, Spare, Harry said “[m]y wife is not visibly black but that’s who she is.”

He went on to allege that, regardless of this, the “way that [the media] speak about her, the way that they treat her is incredibly relatable to everybody else of colour.”

The woke prince has suggested that the former TV starlet, born to a black mother and a white father in California, could have been a huge boon to the Royal Family as someone who was, after a fashion, an ethnic minority, and that failing to accommodate her was a “huge missed opportunity”.

“It’s what she said to me right from the beginning, representation,” he said, suggesting she had also pushed this line.

“I, as a privileged white man, didn’t really understand what she was talking about [at first],” he added.

Judge Judy suggests Prince Harry is like a 'selfish, spoiled, ungrateful' grandchild
Prince Harry makes a number of allegations against the Royal Family in his new tell-all memoir 'Spare'

By Cortney O'Brien | Fox News

    Judge Judith Sheindlin, more commonly known as Judge Judy, joined the chorus of critics against Prince Harry amid the release of his memoir, "Spare," which is full of accusations against the Royal Family.

When asked about his behavior on Britain's ITV, she said as a mother and grandmother she considered such actions "disingenuous" and "unseemly."

"I will tell you that I would be furious, and I would think that child or that grandchild was a selfish, spoiled, ungrateful one," Judy said in an interview that aired on "Good Morning Britain" Tuesday. "That’s what I would feel. I’d be really hurt, I think anybody with a brain would see that it’s disingenuous, it’s biting the hand that fed you, it’s unseemly."

Prince Harry downs tequila shots with Colbert, expert labels royal's media tour a 'destructive circus'
The Duke of Sussex headed to New York City where he promoted his ghostwritten memoir 'Spare'

Colbert previously teased the interview, which airs Tuesday, the same day the memoir hit bookshelves.

"I’ve read the book — it’s very enjoyable, quite emotional, quite revealing," said Colbert, 58. "I’m going to have so much to talk about with his Harryness. For instance, the stuff he talked about with Anderson Cooper, including this high school memory between him and his brother that's straight out of the older brother/sibling playbook."

REPORT: Prince Harry Claims He Has Killed 25 People

Harry’s reported confession was tied to his time as an Apache helicopter pilot, according to The Telegraph. He served in Afghanistan as an air controller in air raids from 2007-2008 then piloted an attack helicopter starting in 2012. Harry said he undertook six missions as a pilot that led to “the taking of human lives,” according to The Telegraph. Harry said he compared eliminating targets like removing “chess pieces” from a board, according to the outlet.

“My number is 25. It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me,” Harry wrote. He claimed to have had video cameras mounted on the nose of his helicopter which enabled him to assess his kill count, according to The Telegraph.

There is a bit more at the link. In order to avoid taking the oath to King Charles, Harry would either have to decline the invitation or give up his titles.

I read somewhere a couple of days ago that Charles may adjust that ceremony so that only William has to give that oath.  No idea if that is true or not.

If not...I don't think it is such a good idea for Charles to try to "force" Harry into that.  Because what happens if it becomes time for Harry to go up, and he just doesn't go.  Just stands there instead.  It would be a huge, obviously show of defiance, breach of protocol, etc., and a massive embarrassment for Charles.  Sure, Harry would be stripped of his titles, but the damage to Charles would be even worse.

In my view, it is way too much of a risk to give to him and Meghan the power to embarrass the monarchy that publicly.

Prince Harry's ghostwriter defends Spare despite multiple inaccuracies in best-selling non-fiction book
 The Duke of Sussex's autobiography broke the record for fastest-selling non-fiction book in the UK
Svar Nanan-Sen Senior Producer
Published Thursday 12 January 2023 - 15:55
Quote
Prince Harry's ghostwriter, JR Moehringer, has defended the memoir by retweeting a quote saying "the line between memory and fact is blurry".  ...

"There are inadvertent mistakes of those kinds out of the wazoo.”  ...

In Spare, Harry writes: "At Eton, while studying, I took a call. I wish I could remember whose voice was at the other end; a courtier's, I believe.

"I recall that it was just before Easter, the weather was bright and warm, light slanting through my window, filled with vivid colours. Your Royal Highness, the Queen Mother has died."

However, news reports at the time explicitly detail how Prince Harry was away skiing with his father and brother in Klosters, Switzerland, when the 101-year-old died in her sleep at Royal Lodge, Windsor.

Pictures also show him returning to the UK from the continent the day after the death.  ...

He probably doesn't think he will care because he is "whipped",but when that happens,his "whipper" will be leaving the room to write her own expose of life in the Royal Family.

Providing,of course,that there is a guarantee that a movie will be made about it,and that she will play the role of herself.

He is truly going to be lost when this happens,because by then he will have cut his ties to the Royal Family for the remainder of his life. Maybe even afterwards. I would be surprised if any bothered to show up for his funeral.

Prince Harry mentioned his private parts over 15 times in memoir ‘Spare’
By Dana Kennedy

It looks like Prince Harry isn’t shy about talking about his princely package either.

The 38-year-old royal references his manhood more than 15 times in his bestselling new memoir, “Spare.”

He uses the word “penis” eight times in the controversial book, but also uses a lot of euphemisms, Fox News reported Saturday.

He makes mention of his “penis” eight times, his “todger” six times, and refers to his “c–k,” “bespoke c–k cushion” and “down there” once each.  ...

 Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ sets record as fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time
By Patrick Reilly   
January 14, 2023 8:12pm

Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir “Spare” has shattered the record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time.

The Duke of Sussex’s revelatory account of the royal family and his personal life sold a whopping 1.43 million copies during its first day on sale in the UK, US and Canada, according to Guinness World Records.

Harry’s book sales blew away the former record holder, “A Promised Land,” penned by former President Barack Obama, which sold 887,000 copies on its release day.

“Spare” details Prince Harry’s contentious relationships with his father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William, and problems caused by his marriage to Meghan Markle that caused him to quit the royal family in 2020.

The prince also opens up about losing his mother, Princess Diana, at the age of 12, his drinking and drug use, losing his virginity and his time serving with the British Army in Afghanistan.

“Spare” has a cover price of $36, but is widely being sold by retailers at a discount. On Amazon, the memoir was selling for $22.42 on Saturday.

“As far as we know, the only books to have sold more in their first day are those starring the other Harry (Potter),” Larry Finlay, managing director of Transworld Penguin Random House, said in a statement.

“Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows” — the final novel of J.K. Rowling’s series — currently holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest selling book of all time after it sold 8.3 million copies — or 345,833 books per hour — when it was released in July 2007.

On the plus side for him, there's the $$.  Although the $100M Netflix deal sort of took care of that.

But on the downside, this becoming a cash grab makes it look much more like selling your family out for money than whatever noble intent he has put forth.  It also could easily lead to a complete cutoff of extra funds, if any are still being paid.

King Charles has ‘no appetite to engage’ with Prince Harry after ‘Spare’

By Nika Shakhnazarova
January 17, 2023

King Charles III is not looking to hold any peace talks with his youngest son, Prince Harry, anytime soon, according to reports.

The father-son dynamic has been thrust into a record low for the pair following the explosive release of Harry’s tell-all memoir, “Spare.”

Amid whispers over whether or not Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, will attend his father’s coronation in May, an insider told the Evening Standard that a royal reunion is not on the cards “at this moment in time.”

“He has never been one to make quick judgments,” an insider told the outlet. “There is no appetite at this moment in time to engage.”

Now my dad is windowed and elderly and at his wit's end -- finally -- he is sceptical  but she is still preying on him.

@LadyLiberty

I DO understand what you are saying,and agree this is a serious problem for many families.

BUT.......,these is not your "everyday family". People have been trying to scam and cheat them for centuries. They HAVE to be some of the most skeptical and cynical people in the world.

Yes,they DO have enormous wealth as well as influence. That is at the root of their problems.

I do NOT envy them in the slightest respect,and believe it or not,wouldn't trade places with any of them.

MAUREEN CALLAHAN: So Harry, what WAS it about your frostbitten 'todger' story and the betrayal of your family that turned you from American hero to zero - and into a TV laughing stock?

By Maureen Callahan For DailyMail.Com

Published: 07:39 EST, 19 January 2023 | Updated: 09:48 EST, 19 January 2023

At times it may be better, as Machiavelli wrote, to be feared than loved. Surely Prince Harry was hoping his memoir would strike fear in the hearts at Buckingham Palace. But what he likely didn't foresee?

Becoming a global laughingstock. And, in the process, diminishing his late mother's memory. Suffering crashing approval ratings. Space shuttles fall to earth less swiftly.

Imagine Harry and Meghan's pre-publication fantasies! Surely they imagined the world at their backs, outraged that Harry got the smaller bedroom at Balmoral and that Charles isn't much a hugger, doubtless agitating for the end of the monarchy while applauding Harry and Meghan for bearing such suffering so valiantly. Not since JFK Jr. would America claim its own sweet prince! Meghan would be president someday, Harry sought out by every CEO and disruptor and woke activist on the planet.

The public interest with Edward VIII faded after about 12 years, and that was a freaking abdicating sitting King.

Well, @sneakypete , I may be a little more generous toward Diana. I really think she was a young, naive, neurotic girl that thought she was going to live in a Disney Cinderella cartoon movie. It turned out, she was living in a royal family that has been much like it has been through out history. And her "Prince Charming" loved someone else.

She was beloved by the country...so yeah, Harry is hurting her.

Nolte: Harry and Meghan’s Popularity in Freefall

John Nolte20 Jan 2023199
4:52

Harry and Meghan, the Prince and Duchess of Exhibitionism, might be making money and selling books, but the cost to their popularity and legacy has been devastating.

In Harry and Meghan’s historic quest to prove they are two of history’s most narcissistic, whiny, selfish, disloyal, back-stabbing crybullies the planet has ever produced, we have been subjected to a six-hour — six hours, y’all — Netflix doc, an Oprah interview, countless other interviews, and a book that has so far sold about more than three million copies.

Please pay attention to what I write next because this is the most important point: we are not only talking about billions of dollars in national media exposure but all of that exposure has either been controlled by Harry and Meghan — book, Netflix doc, etc. — or controlled by their pals like Oprah and Stephen Colbert.

In other words, for more than a year, these two miscreants have enjoyed an astonishing amount of free and earned publicity, all of it firmly on their side. Nevertheless, their popularity numbers are still in freefall.

That’s how awful these two are.

Because the left-wing propaganda site Daily Beast is nothing if not dumb, the headline asks: “Prince Harry’s Book Is Selling Millions. Why Is He So Unpopular?”

Well, uhm, because the 3.2 million people who bought his book do not even add up to one percent of the American population.

Morons.

Prince Harry scoffs at Elvis Presley's Graceland, suggests interior designer was 'on acid'

Prince Harry scoffs at Elvis Presley's Graceland, suggests interior designer was 'on acid'
In his book, Prince Harry quips that Elvis Presley's interior designer 'must have been on acid' when decorating the Graceland estate
By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi | Fox News

   The United States' resident British royal was unimpressed with The King of Rock n' Roll's historic home, according to his recently released memoir.

In his new autobiography, "Spare," Prince Harry described being unimpressed with Graceland, former home of the late Elvis Presley.

"People variously called the house a castle, a mansion, a palace. But it reminded me of the badger sett," Prince Harry wrote. "Dark, claustrophobic. I walked around saying, ‘The King lived here, you say? Really?’"

Elvis lived at Graceland from June 26, 1957, until his death Aug. 16, 1977.

In the book, Prince Harry quipped that whoever picked out the decor of the famous residence must have been on drugs.

Prince Harry recalled, "I stood in one tiny room with loud furniture and shag carpet and thought, ‘The King’s interior designer must have been on acid.’"

Buckingham Palace reveals details of King Charles III's coronation. What we know about the three-day celebration


Quote


In a nation struggling with a cost-of-living crisis, the coronation of Britain's King Charles III will be celebrated with pared back extravagance and even a small stray from tradition.

Here's how the three-day celebration will pan out, according to plans revealed by Buckingham Palace on Saturday.

Formal ceremony takes place on May 6

The grand coronation ceremony for King Charles and his wife Camilla will take place on the morning of Saturday, May 6.

It will take place at London's Westminster Abbey and will follow the traditional pageantry used for anointing monarchs during the past 1,000 years.

@Maj. Bill Martin

Not really. He grew up living a VERY sheltered life,and only got to mingle and play with other royal children. They pretty much had to do this in order to make sure he was protected from any potential kidnapping or murder attempt. None of that was his fault.

On the other hand,by the time you are in your 40's and going bald,you need to man the bleep UP,and be held responsible for what you say and do. He is not a child anymore.  He is a privileged multi-millionaire weasel,and it's past time for someone to tell him to "Man the BLEEP up!"

Back to the original premise....

You realize he mocked Elvis as an outsider?  A foreigner mocking maybe the biggest beloved cultural American icon of the past 100 years?

That's a lose-lose in anyone's  book.   This is more than just maturity.  He isn't the brightest inbred bulb on the Windsor light fixture.

Harry's six-word Coronation ultimatum to King Charles as plans unveiled
Express/UK, Jan 23, 2023

As King Charles’s Coronation looms, questions swirl around whether or not Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will attend, but the Duke has issued his father with an ultimatum. The monarch’s second son has unveiled a series of devastating allegations about Charles and the rest of his family - with the King himself painted as emotionally distant and unable to relate to his son. In an interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby, Harry, when asked if he will come to the coronation if invited, said there was “a lot that can happen between now and then”.

He then issued a six-word ultimatum to the palace, who have declined to comment on the allegations made by the Sussexes across various TV and media appearances, saying: “The ball is in their court.”

Royal Family have 'pulled a blinder' as expert destroys Harry and Meghan's 'game plan'
Express/UK,  Jan 21, 2023

More than a week after Harry's book was released, both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have yet to make any comment on the claimes made by the prince.

Edward Coram-James, a PR, reputation and crisis management expert and CEO of Go Up, claimed this shows the Royal Family had a strong "game plan" in place and were prepared for any such accusations, while blasting Harry and Meghan's strategy as "ill-conceived".

He told Express.co.uk: "What should the Royal Family do in response to these claims? In a word: nothing. They have pulled a blinder.

"The biggest mistake that they could make would be to respond to any of the allegations. They are simply not serious enough allegations to warrant them breaching their long held code of silence.

"Breaching that silence will imply guilt. Remaining silent gives an air of maturity and remaining above the fray. T

"The Royal family have had a game plan and, unlike the Sussexes, whose game plan has appeared ill-conceived and often strayed from, the royals have toed the line throughout."

The Royal Family will look forward to King Charles' coronation knowing that they may have taken a mild bruising, but they never came close to being on the receiving end of any knock out blows.

Pauline Maclaran, Professor of Marketing and Consumer Research at Royal Holloway University of London, praised the Royal Family for staying silent on Harry's claims and not getting mixed up in a messy battle with the Sussexes.

She told Express.co.uk: "The Royal Family are taking the right stance because the way it is going, Harry will burn himself out".

King Charles evicts disgraced Prince Andrew from Buckingham Palace: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova
January 26, 2023

King Charles has sensationally sent his disgraced brother Prince Andrew packing, according to reports.

The scandal-scarred royal, who was famously stripped of his royal and military honors by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has been told to find a new place to live immediately, The Sun reports.

“The King has made it clear that Buckingham Palace is no place for Prince Andrew,” a source told the outlet of the decision, which comes just months before King Charles III’s coronation, set for May 6.

Andrew, who has had his back against the wall since his alleged friendship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein came to light, has been told “there is no longer any place” for him at Buckingham Palace, the official royal residence.

Andrew also shares a 31-room Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

You'd think they could find a room somewhere in there for him.

I have a feeling that William will be the last monarch.  Just a gut feeling, but I think that he will ultimately shepherd the U.K. toward an elected head of state - preserving, of course, as much of the wealth for the Windsor family as possible.

Big mistake Charles...when will you learn!


Charles WANTS Harry to attend his Coronation: The King 'asks Justin Welby to broker deal allowing Duke and Meghan to be at ceremony, but William fears his brother will use the event to stage a 'stunt''... as 'monarch mulls over giving his OWN TV interview'

    Charles asked the Archbishop for a deal to allow Harry to attend the Coronation
    William fears unless Harry's visit is tightly scripted, he could steal the limelight

By Glen Owen, Political Editor and Natasha Anderson

Published: 17:04 EST, 28 January 2023 | Updated: 07:45 EST, 29 January 2023

The King has asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to broker a deal to allow Harry to attend his Coronation – but has met resistance from William, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Charles wants Justin Welby to strike an agreement with his warring sons that would allow Harry and his wife Meghan to attend the Westminster Abbey ceremony in May, senior sources close to Lambeth Palace say.

Speculation has been rife about whether the Sussexes would attend the high-profile event since they stepped away from Royal duties – and especially since the publication of Harry's tell-all memoirs, Spare, earlier this month, that contained a string of wounding attacks on senior members of the Royal Family.

Australia to remove British monarch from banknotes


Quote

Australia will remove the British monarch from its banknotes, replacing the late Queen Elizabeth II's image on its $5 note with a design honouring Indigenous culture, the central bank said Thursday.

The decision to leave her successor King Charles III off the $5 note means no monarch would remain on Australia's paper currency.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) said it would consult Indigenous people on a new design that "honours the culture and history of the First Australians".

Queen Elizabeth's death on September 8 last year was marked by public mourning in Australia, but some Indigenous groups also protested against the destructive impact of colonial Britain, calling for the abolition of the monarchy.

Australia is a constitutional monarchy, a democracy with King Charles III as its head of state. A referendum proposing a switch to a republic was narrowly defeated in 1999.

Or you could re-think the aussie aspects of indigenous peoples.  There are several examples of where Indians were used  on our coinage and paper money. 

The main thing I was trying to highlight that unlike the U.S., which never as a nation never was under the rule of the King/Queen of U.K.  While Austrailia OTOH, is still technically a constitutional monarchy.

That said, is the omission of Charles III a woke gesture, or a statement of intent.  Of course that is for another discussion.

Personally, I would see it as a subtle statement of intent.  Sooner or later, Australia will cease to have the British crown as their head of state.  The love for the crown that one finds in the UK is not nearly as strong, or as deep a tradition, in Australia.

The main problem, politically, as I once heard Greg Craven summarize, is that if they were to simply replace the crown with a popularly elected head of state, without amending their constitution to limit the head of state's ability to block legislation, then the government would grind to a halt in not-so-nice ways because the head of state would now have his/her own power base/constituency, whose political desires might differ from those of the current prime minister, which could cause a lot more trouble in a parliamentary system than it would in a Congressional system such as the U.S. has.

So, they may need to consider more far-reaching amendments to their constitution than simply replacing the British crown with a popularly elected head of state.

They will do the same as they are doing in American,an "unarmed invasion" of immigrants who seem to have a LOT of money to spend buying up successful businesses.

Oddly enough,there will be immigrants following them into Australia,who need jobs working at the exact same industries the earlier immigrants bought!

What a coincidence!

The next step will be to buy political power by outright purchases,or MUCH younger Chinese women marrying Anglo Australian politicians.

Operation Harry in a hurry: Duke of Sussex may be whisked into Britain for a 48-hour Coronation visit - but without Meghan Markle

    Prince Harry might fly in for brief appearance at King Charles's May coronation
   
By Glen Owen and Kate Mansey and Catherine Pepinster

Published: 18:47 EST, 4 February 2023 | Updated: 18:47 EST, 4 February 2023

Prince Harry could be whisked in and out of Britain for a 48-hour appearance at King Charles’s Coronation without his wife Meghan, sources said last night.

One working theory, dubbed ‘Harry in a hurry’, is that Meghan will remain behind in California to celebrate Archie’s fourth birthday while Harry flies into make a brief appearance at the event on May 6.

It was reported yesterday that both Harry and Meghan would be invited to the ceremony – but it remains unclear whether they will accept in the wake of Harry’s tell-all memoir about Royal infighting.

The report came after the revelation in last week’s Mail on Sunday that the Archbishop of Canterbury had been drawn into discussions about the couple’s invitation to the 90-minute service.

It was suggested that they might accept the invitation if they were given a prominent pew and an undertaking that Harry would not lose his Royal titles.

Queen Consort to wear Queen Mary's Crown at coronation


Quote


The Queen Consort Camilla will wear Queen Mary's Crown at King Charles's coronation.

The crown has been removed from display at the Tower of London for modification work ahead of the ceremony in May.

This is the first time in almost three centuries that an existing crown will be used for the coronation of a consort instead of a new commission being made.

Camilla is said to have made the decision to where the Crown of Queen Mary in the interests of sustainability and efficiency.

The crown was originally commissioned for the coronation of Mary of Teck as Queen Consort at the coronation of King George V, the present monarch's great-grandfather, in 1911.

Meghan Markle's new legal battle raises red flags, experts say: 'Trail of damaged and destroyed relationships'
The Duchess of Sussex was sued by her estranged half-sister Samantha Markle following an Oprah Winfrey interview from 2021
By Stephanie Nolasco , Ashley Papa | Fox News

  Meghan Markle is in a legal war with her estranged half-sister that likely won’t hurt her brand, but some experts are wondering what this latest chapter in an ongoing family drama will mean for the Sussexes.

In 2022, Samantha Markle sued the Duchess of Sussex for allegedly making "false" statements to Oprah Winfrey in a 2021 interview. The elder sibling accused the former American actress of defamation "based on demonstrably false and malicious statements." Samantha alleged that the duchess' "lies" were "designed to destroy [her] reputation" and have subjected her to "humiliation, shame and hatred on a worldwide scale."

Annie Pace Scranton, CEO of Pace Public Relations, told Fox News Digital she has no doubt the Duchess of Sussex will follow the royal motto of "keep calm, carry on."

"I don't think this lawsuit will impact Meghan Markle's image at all because the American public has, in large part, already formed their opinions about her," said Pace Scranton. "She's said repeatedly that her priority is her family and doing good in the world, which I think is wonderful. [That] should continue to be her focus."

They do love attention so they prolly will sue.

Meghan Markle has been 'upset and overwhelmed' by portrayal on 'South Park' episode: report
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's portrayal on Wednesday's 'South Park' episode could have legal ramifications, according to royal expert
By Janelle Ash | Fox News

Meghan Markle is reportedly not too happy with how she's been portrayed on Wednesday night's episode of the adult comedy show "South Park" titled "The Worldwide Privacy Tour."

A source told The Spectator that Markle has been "upset and overwhelmed" by the episode's release and is "annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all."

Though the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not directly named in the episode, it featured characters described as Canadian royalty and dubbed "the prince and his wife," which clearly parodied the couple. In the parody, the young royal couple beg for privacy while drawing attention to themselves in a spoof-like way.

The show also calls the "wife" character a "sorority girl, actress, influencer and victim," to which she replies, "Yeah, that's totally me."

Prince Andrew faces eviction from Windsor as King Charles slashes income: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova
February 22, 2023

Prince Andrew is facing a fresh eviction notice from his residence on the grounds of Windsor Castle as King Charles moves to slash his income, according to reports.

The disgraced royal, who was famously stripped of his royal and military honors by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was last month given the boot from Buckingham Palace by his brother.

Now, it seems as though Andrew’s property portfolio is rapidly shrinking as King Charles looks to cut Andrew’s royal funding in a bid to have a “slimmed-down” monarchy, the Times reports.

This means come April, the Duke of York’s cushy $300,000-a-year income could be slashed as a result of the Privy Purse fund’s overall cuts.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are now officially the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The titles were announced by King Charles III, one day after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September, but they had not been made official until now.

The announcement in The Gazette, the country’s official public record, said, "In accordance with the direction of HIS MAJESTY THE KING Letters Patent have passed the Great Seal of the Realm, dated the 13th February 2023 for creating His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cornwall Rothesay and Cambridge, Earl of Carrick and Strathearn, Baron of Renfrew, Baron Carrickfergus, K.G., K.T., Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland, PRINCE OF WALES and EARL OF CHESTER."

The Letters of Patent are, according to the Royal Collection Trust, "an open document from the Sovereign, which can be used to express the Sovereign’s will, for example to confer an office or create a new peerage."

There are much, much tougher jobs in the world than being British Royalty, but at least these two do the damn job as best as they can without whining about it.  I'm sure there are days when they don't want to go off and spend hours standing at the dedication of some new structure or whatever, and don't want to have to get all dressed up and make appearances.  But, they do it.  Or just to be able to make an idiot of yourself on occasion and not have to worry about the press all the time.

Again, lots of people would love for that to be their "job", but they do it with class and dignity.  So that's something, even if I am something of an "off with their royal heads" type at heart.

Prince Harry to unpack struggles with ‘trauma expert’ in livestreamed talk
NY Post, Feb 27, 2023

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fp-0ADzWcAAJgOG?format=jpg&name=small)

Prince Harry is set to unpack his experiences with a controversial trauma expert on Saturday, during a virtual event in which attendees can submit questions for the former royal to answer.

Harry, whose memoir “Spare” topped bestseller charts, will join Canadian doctor and author Gabor Maté for an “intimate conversation,” to which royal fans can purchase tickers for $33.99, publisher Random House said in a statement about the event.

In an email to Postmedia, Maté, a bestselling author whose books have been published in over 30 languages, said their conversation would be about the impact of emotional loss and the importance of personal healing.

“In ‘Spare,’ Prince Harry is very open about his mental-health challenges, as I have been about my own in my books. Such a public conversation, I hope, will help encourage more openness around mental health and contribute to remove the stigma around what we call mental illness,” Maté said.

Royal expert on Camilla dropping consort title against Queen Elizabeth’s wishes: ‘A queen in her own right’
King Charles' wife Camilla reportedly dropping 'queen consort of the United Kingdom' title after his coronation
By Kristen Altus FOXBusiness


King Charles III’s wife, Camilla, queen consort of the United Kingdom, is apparently paving her own way as Great Britain’s monarchy prepares to crown the couple this coming May.

Following the coronation, Camilla will reportedly take the title of "queen" rather than "queen consort," unnamed sources told the Daily Mail over the weekend. The move also goes against the late Queen Elizabeth II’s wishes to refer to Camilla as "queen consort" as she carries out the remainder of her royal duties.

Elizabeth declared that she wanted Camilla to be known as "queen consort" in February 2022 with an endorsement that formally signified the family’s acceptance of Camilla as a respected senior member. It was also widely seen as a move by Elizabeth to pave a smooth transition to Charles’ reign.

According to royal expert and commentator Nigel Farage, Camilla’s request for a title change comes at a time when she’s "paid her penance."

I believe Elizabeth II wanted to make it clear that Camilla would also be called Queen, as was tradition.  Camilla is consort of King Charles, Queen Camilla.  That, in no way, gives her any authority over the continuation of the monarchy.  When Charles dies, William (or his heir becomes King).

Yes, but the question is who has the power to create those offices.  For the most part, I believe that offices like that are now created by Parliament, even if publicly handed out by the king or queen.

That is quite different from matters of succession, which are very carefully laid out:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_to_the_British_throne

Bottom line is this:  there is probably some fishmonger's son or daughter out there would stands closer in line to the throne than Camilla ever will.

That is quite different from matters of succession, which are very carefully laid out:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_to_the_British_throne

Bottom line is this:  there is probably some fishmonger's son or daughter out there would stands closer in line to the throne than Camilla ever will.

I think ALL Royal famalies should require mandatory DNA testing to be made public before handing out royal titles.

Talk about something that would take ALL the "wind out the  sails" of some people who are entirely too impressed with their own station in life!

No, a quick bill in Parliament to include the individual in the line as if he/she had been in fact born into the line.

So all your proposal would do is to embarrass the heck out of everyone and provide salacious gossip to those people who have too few brains, too little money, and too much time to actually be value-add to human civilization.

Why not let the royal family be the determinant of who is, and who is not, a member of the royal family and in the line of succession, in consultation with the prime minister and cabinet?

King Charles, Camilla to break royal tradition at coronation with ‘bold move’: ‘An enormous honor’
The eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and his wife, the queen consort, will be crowned on May 6

When it comes to the coronation, family comes first.

In a "bold move," the grandchildren of Camilla, queen consort, will have an official role at the upcoming ceremony, the U.K. Times recently reported. The children are expected to be by their grandmother’s side during the most sacred moment of the event, which takes place on May 6.

The 75-year-old has five grandchildren, who affectionately call her "GaGa." Her son, Tom Parker Bowles, has Lola, 15, and Freddy, 13, and her daughter, Laura Lopes, has Eliza, 15, and twins, Louis and Gus, 13.

"This idea draws attention to the king and queen’s blended family situation – theirs is a second marriage for both of them," royal commentator and broadcaster Jonathan Sacerdoti told Fox News Digital.

"Acknowledging the blended nature of their family in such an open and proud way will be seen as them actively choosing to reflect the many other blended families that increasingly make up the United Kingdom population," he shared. "These days, more and more people have stepchildren and step-grandchildren, and it will be important for them to see the royal family taking a more inclusive stance."

"The royal family is of course quite different from the rest of us, but they also reflect many of the social changes that have taken place for the wider public," Sacerdoti added.

King Charles is 'evicting Harry and Meghan from Frogmore Cottage leaving them without a UK home - and offering the property to Prince Andrew'

    The Palace purportedly chose to evict Harry and Meghan after release of 'Spare'
    It is said Charles wants Andrew to move into the five-bed Frogmore Cottage
    Duke of York currently resides at massive Royal Lodge despite paying peanuts

By David Averre and Elizabeth Haigh

Published: 19:38 EST, 28 February 2023 | Updated: 19:53 EST, 28 February 2023

King Charles has decided to evict Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from their royal residence at Frogmore Cottage in favour of Prince Andrew, it has been claimed.

Buckingham Palace issued an eviction notice to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex days after Harry's memoir Spare - in which he made a series of sensational claims against the Royal Family - hit UK shelves in January, according to The Sun.

Instead, the Palace seeks to replace the pair with the disgraced Duke of York, who currently inhabits the larger Royal Lodge, the paper alleges.

Andrew is said to be resisting the move, but it is said Harry and Meghan will be forced to leave the cottage - their only remaining home in the UK - and fully complete their relocation to the US irrespective of whether Andrew moves in.

The revelation comes with preparations for King Charles' Coronation in May well underway amid speculation that Prince Harry may not receive an invitation.

MailOnline has contacted Buckingham Palace and Prince Harry's representatives for comment.

Prince Harry apology 'demands' from King Charles, Prince William before coronation are 'delusional': experts
King Charles III and his wife Camilla, Queen Consort, will be crowned on May 6 at London's Westminster Abbey
By Stephanie Nolasco , Ashley Papa | Fox News

Prince Harry is said to be hoping for a sit-down with his family before King Charles’ coronation in May, but some royal experts believe the Duke of Sussex will have to keep waiting.

Sources claimed to the U.K.’s Daily Mail that Charles and his heir Prince William "have no intention" of giving Harry "the apology he is demanding from them" before he makes any plans to travel to the U.K. An insider described the situation as a "toxic stalemate."

"I don’t think Prince William or King Charles will make any special arrangements to have a private discussion with Prince Harry prior to the coronation because the word ‘private’ has become increasingly debatable in the Sussex space," Kinsey Schofield, host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast, told Fox News Digital.

"Over the weekend, reports surfaced that Harry intends to add a new chapter to [his memoir] ‘Spare’ for the paperback print edition," Schofield shared. "What would that content consist of? Perhaps a controversial closed-door conversation with his brother and father prior to one of the most historic events this generation has seen? I think the royal family is smarter than that and focused on the future of the monarchy."

"Harry is under the delusion that he is the only one owed an apology," Schofield continued. "[Prince] William and [his wife] Kate Middleton are owed an apology. Meghan [Markle] and Harry have gone out of their way to tarnish the images of William and Catherine... The Sussexes were free. They found their freedom. Instead of using their freedom to dedicate their lives to service as they promised... they have dedicated their lives to settling old scores."

I still am still perplexed of why Chucky used Charles III as his monarchal name, considering his 2 predecessors sandwich the only era in 1200 years of English history (11 years - 1649-1660)  that did not have Monarch.

Charles, William and their advisors are setting this up perfectly.

They will make no special accommodations or arrangements to sit down with Harry prior to the coronation.  No kissing of his butt, no apologies to either he or Meghan.  So either Harry (with or without Meghan) comes to the coronation and does the required kneeling to the new King, with no special treatment, or he refuses.

And if he doesn't come, my guess is that he'll get stripped of his dukedom.  Not for all the other stuff, but for his refusal to kneel to the King.  He'll keep the Earldom and Barony, but lose the big title.  As will she.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle ‘out of touch’ if they expect refund for Frogmore Cottage renovations: expert
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Frogmore Cottage eviction comes after the royal couple were mocked on 'South Park'
By Lauryn Overhultz , Ashley Papa | Fox News

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may demand that millions spent on renovations be returned to them now that they've been evicted from Frogmore Cottage, according to a new report.

The royal couple is being evicted from the royal residence as King Charles III is reportedly moving his brother, the disgraced royal Prince Andrew, into the home.

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed to Fox News Digital that the couple has been asked to vacate Frogmore Cottage, suggesting a further fraying of ties with the British royal family amid preparations for King Charles III’s coronation.

One royal expert slammed Harry and Markle as being "out of touch with reality" if they decide to ask for a reimbursement.

"Even Aesop knew back in 260 BC ‘Be careful what you wish for.' H&M [Harry and Meghan] declared wanting to live a more ‘normal’ life, well there are consequences," royal commentator Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. "The speculation that they expect to be reimbursed for either renovations or their ‘rent’ is the sentiment of someone who has no clue what the consequences of their actions are, because they are so incredibly out of touch with reality."

"Where in life aren’t there consequences for actions? Perhaps Harry can deduct what he’s ‘expecting back’ from what he was ‘given’ by his mother and his grandmother as well as his father and return all that?" she added.

Frogmore Cottage, on the grounds of Windsor Castle west of London, was meant to be the couple’s main residence before they gave up their royal duties and moved to Southern California. According to the Mirror, The Sunday Times royal editor, Roya Nikkhah, has said Harry and Markle may be expecting some of the money they put toward renovations back, now that they've been evicted. The newspaper also reported that Harry's father, the king, started the eviction process on Jan. 11, the day after the publication of Harry’s explosive memoir.

    MAIL ON SUNDAY EXCLUSIVE: Read the story on MailPlus by clicking here
    The Sussexes could be given access to Prince Andrew's old suite of rooms
    It comes as Andrew is due to move out of the Royal Lodge for Prince William

By Kate Mansey and Charlotte Griffiths for The Mail on Sunday

Published: 13:43 EST, 4 March 2023 | Updated: 16:08 EST, 4 March 2023

King Charles is set to offer Harry and Meghan an olive branch by allowing them to stay at Buckingham Palace when they visit Britain in the future, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are due to give up the keys to their previous British home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, later this year. But they may be offered Prince Andrew's old suite in the Palace – where he once entertained the model Caprice and disgraced socialite Ghisaline Maxwell – whenever they need it.

It is the latest move in the complex merry-go-round of royal properties set in motion by the King's plans to streamline the monarchy and remove perks from non-working Royals.

It is understood Charles has offered Frogmore to Prince Andrew, who is reluctantly set to leave the 30-room Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor where he has lived for more than 20 years.

Discussions are under way as to whether Prince William and his family might move into Royal Lodge – which is understood to require extensive renovations – once Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York leave.

In the £17-per-ticket livestream event that included a free copy of his memoir, Spare, Harry discussed his drug use, his views on the war on Afghanistan, and how he doesn't see himself as a 'victim'. Yet he failed to mention his brother William once.

I just don't think Charles can or will tolerate a Duke openly defying the one requirement of holding that dukedom.   If Harry doesn't show, and the rest do and kneel, I think that seals it.

I think Harry knows this, and is probably trying to get assurances he can keep that title even if he doesn't show.  And I'd guess he isn't getting them.   Even if it is a family business and your dad is the CEO, you can't openly defy him in front of employees and the public.  Not really even a father/son thing at that point.  It's the job.

After being evicted from Frogmore Cottage Prince Harry is expected to fire 'plenty of ammunition' at his family in a Q&A promoting his memoir today, but it's just the latest in a long line of disclosures. 

Gabor Maté, 79, will join the Duke of Sussex on Saturday for an 'intimate' £17-a-head virtual conference to discuss 'living with loss and the importance of personal healing', followed by a live Q&A.

The two will discuss 'living with loss and the importance of personal healing', after Harry's memoir was dominated by his account of struggling to come to terms with the loss of his mother Princess Diana.

However, the book also raised eyebrows with intimate revelations about his frost-nipped penis, and alluding to having sex with Meghan at Soho House.

While Harry's comments about his 'todger' grabbed headlines around the world, there was no shortage of highly personal titbits shared in the book.

Prince Harry says psychedelics are ‘fundamental’ part of his life

By Tamantha Ryan and Nicki Gostin
March 4, 2023

Prince Harry recently spoke openly about his recreational use of psychedelics.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, revealed during an online chat with trauma expert Gabor Maté Saturday that drugs have helped him deal with his past traumas.

“It was the cleaning of the windscreen, the removal of life’s filters — these layers of filters — it removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, relief, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold back for a period of time,” he shared.

EXCLUSIVE: King Charles will offer Prince Harry and Meghan a Buckingham Palace apartment when they visit UK in olive branch after kicking them out of Frogmore Cottage

    MAIL ON SUNDAY EXCLUSIVE: Read the story on MailPlus by clicking here
    The Sussexes could be given access to Prince Andrew's old suite of rooms
    It comes as Andrew is due to move out of the Royal Lodge for Prince William

By Kate Mansey and Charlotte Griffiths for The Mail on Sunday

Published: 13:43 EST, 4 March 2023 | Updated: 16:08 EST, 4 March 2023

King Charles is set to offer Harry and Meghan an olive branch by allowing them to stay at Buckingham Palace when they visit Britain in the future, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are due to give up the keys to their previous British home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, later this year. But they may be offered Prince Andrew's old suite in the Palace – where he once entertained the model Caprice and disgraced socialite Ghisaline Maxwell – whenever they need it.

This eliminates the excuse that he and Meghan wouldn't have enough security whenever they travel to England in the future.  Perfect move.

Maybe I'm reading too much strategery into all of this, but it sure seems like they are boxing Harry into making a decision without giving him any easy way out.

Prince Harry says psychedelics are ‘fundamental’ part of his life

By Tamantha Ryan and Nicki Gostin
March 4, 2023

Prince Harry recently spoke openly about his recreational use of psychedelics.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, revealed during an online chat with trauma expert Gabor Maté Saturday that drugs have helped him deal with his past traumas.

“It was the cleaning of the windscreen, the removal of life’s filters — these layers of filters — it removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, relief, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold back for a period of time,” he shared.

“I started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me,” Harry added.

No argument there.  He pretty clearly has no filter remaining at all.

You know, all this crap about this "therapy" and all that b.s....  There's nothing wrong with getting therapy if you need it, but it is his apparent need to make public everything most people would say privately in therapy that is so off-putting.

Looks like it took no time at all to teach Harry to play the victim card, she just left out the part of being a POC...unless he thinks being a Ginger counts.

Aren't there provisions within the royal charters about ongoing admitted lawbreaking?   I am guessing using haullocengnic mushrooms recreationally is not legal in the UK.  To me, use of these things are a personal choice, but when you are given such standing, and such government subsidized living stipend,   I would think there would be adjusted standards of conduct that he would have to adhere to.

I have a feeling that getting the louse to do his duty and bend the knee as a duke of the realm is worth far more than any public giggling over his admission of using psychedelic drugs.  Furthermore, while it might be a little embarrassing, it's no longer that embarrassing in the general culture, and probably doesn't really change many opinions about the royal family.

Ok,I am going to post a few things  here that may be unpopular for many posters on TBR.

Drugs,even psychodelic drugs are NOT generally bad or even dangerous. The only dangerous drugs I am aware of are the ones like Heroin.

I took every drug known  to mankind from the  late late 60's to the mid-70's,and did it often. Looking back on it now,I  SUSPECT the reason I started to take them was because one day I was humping the bush in Laos and Cambodia loaded down  with  some form of automatic rifle,grenades,mines,etc,etc,etc,and a week later I am getting off an airliner in Ca,looking around and wondering  "WTF is going on here?""

To give you some idea of how out of touch with the typical American and American society at that time,I had a layover in DC before I could catch a plane close to home,so I caught a cab to downtown DC,just to kill  time looking around. So there I was,in downtown DC during rush hour,standing on a corner in my dress greens,and carrying a Russian sniper rifle in one hand,and a fifth  of whisky in the other. And taking  ocassional drinks from the bottle.

I had not the slightest clue I was doing anything wrong,and just thinking the people walking by were staring at me because I was wearing a Green  Beret. Then I had a DC cop come up and politely ask me if he could look at the rifle. I said  "Sure!",and handed it to him. He pulled back the bolt to make sure it wasn't loaded,smiled  at me,and welcomed me "home" before walking away.

I did this for a while,and then caught a taxi back to the airport in time to catch  my flight home. All the while thinking nothing  of it. It took a couple of years for it to occur to me why people were staring at me,and to realize I was damn lucky  to not have been arrested. For drinking whisky on the street,if nothing else.

SF were the "high speed boys of VN". At times those of us in SOG had a casuality rate of over 50 percent and had to temporarily halt missions until we could get some more volunteers in and train them up. You would see recon teams with a SGT E-5 team leader,and a Captain carrying the radio and taking orders from the E-5.

I eventually "evened out" and sobered up. Don't even drink  beer anymore,and haven't for decades.

Don't blame Harry's brain farts and marriage on drugs. Blame them on Harry. It's people like him that  give  drugs such a bad  name.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle receive coronation invitation from King Charles III
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped away from royal duties in January 2020 and moved to California
By Tracy Wright | Fox News

    King Charles III is attempting to bring his family together once again despite ongoing tension in the monarchy.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were extended an invitation to His Majesty's coronation in May, according to the Sunday Times.

It's unclear if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend the ceremony.

Charles will be formally crowned on May 6 at London's Westminster Abbey, nearly nine months after he ascended the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Buckingham Palace and Archewell did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

May 6 is a particularly important date for Prince Harry and Meghan as the day coincides with their son Archie's fourth birthday. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex removed themselves from royal responsibilities in January 2020 and moved to Canada before settling in Southern California.

The Duke of Sussex sat down with controversial 'toxic trauma' expert Dr Gabor Maté for a 90-minute conversation that saw him paint a raw and vivid picture of the pain he continues to suffer as a result of losing his mother aged 12.

The world seems to remember this photo and has decided to think of Harry always às the young child who lost his mother. I can't help but wonder how Harry would be today if instead he had been seen and treated as who was --- a 13 year old (in two weeks) who hadn't yet started his growth spurt.  Maybe he could have received appropriate help instead of being cuddled and excused for the rest of his life.

King Charles offers Meghan Markle, Prince Harry ‘lifeline' following eviction 'blowback': expert
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were evicted from Frogmore Cottage shortly after Harry's tell-all 'Spare' was published

By Stephanie Nolasco , Ashley Papa | Fox News

King Charles III may have given Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the boot from Frogmore Cottage, but he could have an offer the couple won't refuse.

The monarch could give the Duke and Duchess of Sussex the keys to an apartment in Buckingham Palace as their U.K. residence when they visit, the Independent reported. According to the outlet, the suite of rooms that the king may offer to the couple previously belonged to Prince Andrew.

Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital that it is likely Charles, 74, would offer an olive branch to his son leading up to the coronation. The king will be crowned on May 6 at London’s Westminster Abbey.

Totally agree that Harry's problems are his, and shouldn't be blamed on drugs.

With respect to the other stuff, I'll just say that drugs, and therefore drug use, is much worse now.   The drugs, even if unadulterated, are stronger/more potent.  More importantly, you can buy one drug, not know it has been cut with something else, and end up dead.

Harry, Meghan Markle surprised palace aides with ‘highly ironic’ decision to give kids royal titles: expert
Archie and Lilibet's titles were changed to prince and princess on the royal family's website

By Brie Stimson , Stephanie Nolasco | Fox News

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle surprised palace aides with their "highly ironic" decision to give their two children royal titles this week, an expert told Fox News Digital.

"It appears that with one decisive stroke, she and Harry declared that their children would be prince and princess, basically making the king's decision for him," Christopher Andersen, author of the "The King: The Life of Charles III," said a day after the couple first referred to their daughter as Princess Lilibet in her christening announcement. 

The celebration for the 21-month-old was confirmed Wednesday. She turns 2 in June.

"I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3, by the bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor," a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told Fox News Digital in a statement at the time.

Meghan Markle 'hated being a second-rate princess' before making her royal exit, palace staffer claims
Tom Quinn, author of 'Gilded Youth,' described how the Duchess of Sussex viewed Princess Diana as a 'kindred spirit'
By Stephanie Nolasco | Fox News

Meghan Markle 'hated being a second-rate princess' before making her royal exit, palace staffer claims
Stephanie Nolasco
9–11 minutes

Meghan Markle allegedly "hated being a second-rate princess" before she made her royal exit with Prince Harry.

The claim was made by a Kensington Palace staffer "who remembered Meghan well" in a new book written by Tom Quinn titled "Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family." It features exclusive testimony from palace staff with historical sources, as well as royal insiders. It aims to examine the traditional upbringing of the British royal family and how it has impacted them over the years.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment concerning Quinn’s book. However, a spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital that the palace does not generally comment "on such books."

Quinn told Fox News Digital that the former American actress identified with Princess Diana, a member of the royal family who was treated unfairly by the press and then hounded by paparazzi until her tragic death in 1997 at age 36.

"It’s very easy to see why Meghan would identify with Diana because, in a sense, Diana was also a rebel within the royal family," Quinn explained. "Their views of the royal family coincide. They’re very similar. Diana hated all that stuffiness. She didn’t like the pheasant shooting that she was dragged along to. And it’s interesting because Diana grew up in that world. She grew up on an enormous estate. The Spencers are one of the most aristocratic families in the U.K. They’ve married into the royal family for over 500-600 years. But I think when Meghan thinks of Diana, she sees a kindred spirit."

According to Quinn’s book, the palace staffer described the 41-year-old as "a very nice, smiley, super-positive person." However, as someone who "always felt in control of her own destiny" she found herself in an institution "she couldn’t influence."

"She was dazzled by the worldwide fame that being a princess would bring, but she was shocked by the palace protocol and by the fact that she was not and never could be first in the pecking order," the staffer alleged, as quoted in Quinn's book. "She hated the constraints and the rules; she hated being a second-rate princess – second to Catherine Middleton, I mean. She thought she would be living in Windsor Castle, for example, and just couldn’t believe it when she and Harry were given Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace."

Members of the Royal Family are hoping that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be ‘seated in Iceland’ if they attend the Coronation service as expected.

Harry and Meghan have been invited and are expected to be at the event on May 6, but many family members are privately telling friends that they will give them the ‘cold shoulder’.

The Sussexes’ children are considered by palace officials to be too young to attend the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, but the couple are likely to spend part of the day with Archie, who turns four on May 6, and Lilibet, now styled Prince and Princess, as they celebrate their son’s birthday.

Relations between them were said to have become strained when the Duchess of Sussex reportedly turned down the chance to have Sophie Wessex mentor her on life as a Royal.

Now friends of Sophie, the new Duchess of Edinburgh, claim she is ‘relieved’ that her move up the Royal ranks means she no longer needs to curtsey to Meghan.

The former Countess of Wessex had previously been duty-bound to defer to Prince Harry’s wife who, as a Duchess, was of a higher rank.

'This is what a Queen looks like': LIZ JONES says Kate's Commonwealth Day outfit shows she 'means business' - after ditching 'dowdy and safe' outfits
Daily Mail/UK, Mar 14, 2023

Please, Kate, I was pleading as she arrived on a blustery, dull afternoon for the Commonwealth Day service.

Please, no nipped-in-at-the-waist coat dress with no room for your kidneys. No coat dress. No polka dots. No exposed knees. Nothing recycled. No head-to-toe gold.

Nothing French, as the British fashion industry needs your gold dust to survive. And please God, no high street.

In the six months since becoming the Princess of Wales, it is certainly true that Catherine has upped the ante.

There is a new gravitas to the way she dresses. It is nothing to do with a rivalry with Meghan; dear God, all you must do to win that battle is to own an iron and a mirror.

No. Kate knows she is one step closer to being Queen Consort, is now so much more high profile, that she is all about diplomatic dressing.

The symbolism in her choice of jewellery speaks volumes about heritage, power, and recompense.

Her fashion is these days about vintage (her 1995 Chanel boucle jacket was a stroke of genius), sustainability, and impeccable tailoring.

She can still be edgy – viz, her love of chunky Laura Lombardi jewellery. She can still be fun – viz, the opera gloves worn for the BAFTAs. But everything is getting serious now.  [...]

And Kate? Hooray! No dreaded coat dress, but instead? A peplum. A pattern. Inky, sexy, classy navy. A saucer hat that threatened to take off in the wind.

No reed-thin silhouette, but a kick like one of the Queen’s beloved ponies. No blasted coat dress but a jaunty two piece with flare and flounce. And a contrast cream lining, people.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s three children were given key roles in King Charles III’s coronation, while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s kids have not yet been invited to the ceremony.

There are plans for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to participate in a carriage ride to Buckingham Palace after the coronation of their grandfather, according to The Times.

George, 9, Charlotte, 7, and Louis, 5, will join their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, behind a Gold State Coach that will transport King Charles and Queen Camilla May 6.

The eldest son of the late Queen Elizabeth II and his wife, Camilla, will be crowned at London’s Westminster Abbey. In keeping with nearly a thousand years of tradition, the service will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The moment Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died, King Charles III became the first king of the United Kingdom in over 70 years.

So how DID Prince Harry get a US visa? Campaigners demand to know if Duke admitted 'multiple' drug use on application - and call for the royal to be deported if he lied about taking cocaine before moving to California

Prince Harry faces a fight to keep his US visa application secret today as campaigners demanded its release to see if he admitted his drug use before emigrating to California with Meghan Markle in 2020, MailOnline can reveal.

A conservative think tank is in the middle of a battle with Washington DC officials who are staunchly refusing to publish any details - including any texts or emails - citing the Duke of Sussex's 'privacy'.

In Spare and the TV blitz that followed, Harry admitted taking cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms. He said marijuana and psychedelics 'really helped' with his 'trauma' while cocaine was more a 'social thing'.

The Heritage Foundation says his visa application must now be released so the American taxpayer can understand whether Harry declared his drug use.  ... Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11884759/So-DID-Prince-Harry-visa-despite-drug-use-Campaigners-demand-know.html)

Since Queen Elizabeth died, I've had some time to sit and think about things.

Charles and Camilla have a sorted past.  They both just don't exude the qualities of a King and Queen (consort).

The Prince and Princess of Wales are next in line.  Yes Kate is beautiful and is always impeccably dressed, and her children are heir to the throne.

However .... the traditions are old; William and Charles are into climate change and meanwhile people in Britain are suffering.

Then's there's Harry and Markle two misfits.

Also, you are supposed to bow and curtsy to these people? Are the rest of the Brits subservient to the Royals?? It's 2023 folks.

Nope.  I've truly lost interest.

Meghan Markle sister's defamation lawsuit tossed by federal judge
Samantha Markle sued Meghan Markle for $75k after Oprah interview with Prince Harry
By Emily Trainham | Fox News

    Meghan Markle has won the defamation lawsuit her estranged sister Samantha Markle filed against her in 2021.

On Thursday, a judge threw out Samantha's case, saying that Meghan wasn't guilty because every statement she made that Samantha took issue with was an obvious opinion and therefore didn't meet the criteria for defamation.

One part of the lawsuit concerned the 2020 book "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family," written by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand. The book was clearly released as an unauthorized biography, but Samantha claimed Meghan "contributed false information to the book through her agent and press secretary," according to court documents.

The judge dismissed this claim with prejudice because Meghan did not write the book.

 Prince Harry, Meghan Markle work 1 hour a week for $13M Archewell charity: tax docs
By Samantha Ibrahim and
Rob Bailey-Millado   
March 31, 2023 12:32pm

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry vowed to become “financially independent” after abandoning working royal duties — but how much labor are they actually putting in?

In January 2020, Meghan and Harry infamously announced that stepping down from “The Firm” would “provide our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”

However, recently released tax documents for their Archewell Foundation report that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hit the charitable grind just one documented hour a week in 2021.

The nonprofit’s public IRS 990 filing, posted to Archewell’s official website, also revealed that the Beverly Hills-based organization raised just over $13 million from donors — with $10 million coming from one exceedingly generous private benefactor.

Reps for the Archewell Foundation declined to comment — but an insider told The Post that reports of H&M “hardly working,” paired with “standard” tax docs, fail to paint a factual “full picture” of the work being accomplished by the duo’s charity.

Archewell reported dispersing more than $3 million in grants to various refugee resettlement charities and and initiatives distributing millions of COVID-19 vaccines.

Around $4,500 in public donations and an estimated $1,190 was also was accrued from “investment income,” the docs stated, while the foundation paid out $163,085 in salaries.

Royal Snub? Joe Biden Expected to Turn Down Invitation to Coronation of King Charles III: Reports

Kurt Zindulka 1 Apr 2023

President Joe Biden will reportedly not attend the coronation of King Charles III next month, in a potentially significant snub to the ‘special relationship’ between America and Britain.

President Biden, 80, is “not expected” to be among the dozens of heads of state to attend the official coronation ceremony for King Charles on May 6th at Westminster Abbey in London.

Washington insiders, speaking to The Daily Telegraph, noted that Biden will be travelling to Northern Ireland this month to attend the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday peace agreement and that due to his age, it is unlikely to cross the pond again less than a month later.

Pointing to the president’s advanced age, a source described as close to the Biden administration told the British broadsheet that “foreign travel takes a fair amount out of him”.

“They try to restrict it to the essentials, and they may just think twice about crossing the Atlantic twice in quick succession. They may think that he came to the funeral, and that’s kind of enough.”

King Charles’s Coronation Balcony Lineup Won’t Include Harry and Bitter Meghan Markle
Gateway Pundit, Apr 6, 2023

The Daily Mail reported:

King Charles and Camilla will celebrate their coronation on the Buckingham Palace balcony without Harry and Meghan if they decide to attend, it was revealed today.

His Majesty is said to want to show the world how he is slimming down Britain’s monarchy – and will reward his most loyal family members including William, Kate and their three children.

But the Sussexes, who are yet to RSVP, and Prince Andrew will not be among them. Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank and Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will also miss out.

A source told The Mirror: ‘The King has been very clear who he wants to represent the monarchy. There is little room for sentiment, this is a State occasion, not a family occasion and it is right that only the working members of the family are there at the big public moment.’

After returning to Buckingham Palace from Westminster Abbey in the Gold State coach, Charles and Camilla will stand on the balcony to wave to crowds and watch a RAF flypast.

They will be joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children – Prince George, nine; Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four. Edward and Sophie, the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, will be there. What did they expect?

To me, that appears to be the key distinction that the Markels don't understand/accept in all of this.  They believe that the "family" aspect of their relationships should override the business/state aspect of this, and it doesn't.  He's like the boss' kid in a company who believes he shouldn't be held to the same work standards as everyone else.

Harry WILL attend King Charles' Coronation but Meghan will stay in California with Archie and Lilibet, Buckingham Palace confirms - as Sussexes' friend Omid Scobie says it will 'only be a quick trip' for the Prince

By Mark Duell for MailOnline

Published: 10:03 EDT, 12 April 2023 | Updated: 10:18 EDT, 12 April 2023

Prince Harry will attend the King's Coronation service in London next month - but Meghan Markle will remain in California with their children Archie and Lilibet.

Buckingham Palace confirmed the dramatic news in a statement today, saying it was 'pleased to confirm' the Duke of Sussex will be at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

But the Duchess will stay home at the couple's residence in Montecito with one-year-old Lilibet and Archie, whose fourth birthday is on the same day as the event.

The couple's friend Omid Scobie said Archie's birthday 'played a factor in the couple's decision' and he expected it would be a 'fairly quick trip to the UK' for Harry.

Harry and Meghan had controversially delayed their decision over whether they would fly in for the ceremony, despite the RSVP date of April 3 having passed.

If the boy was smart, he wouldn't come back.  Heck,  his dad is head of the Church of England, I'd guess an annulment would be about as easy as buying a loaf of bread in this case.

Or even divorce, since the odds of him becoming King now, are near zero.

King Charles ‘very disappointed’ that Meghan is skipping coronation: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova
April 13, 2023

King Charles is reportedly “very disappointed” that his daughter-in-law Meghan Markle is skipping his historic coronation.

The monarch is feeling mixed emotions about the plan announced Wednesday for his son, Prince Harry, to attend the May 6 coronation, but leave Markle and the couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, back in California, a source told the Sun.

“The King is happy that Harry, his son, who he calls his ‘darling boy,’ will be at the Abbey. He wanted him there,” the source said.

“It is sad, he is very disappointed that he won’t see Meghan or his grandchildren but understands the situation.”

Notably, May 6 is also Prince Archie’s fourth birthday.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kept King Charles waiting over Coronation plans 'because they wanted to know who would be sitting in front of them and who would be behind them' in Westminster Abbey during weeks of 'transatlantic ping pong'
Daily Mail/UK, Apr 13, 2023

Prince Harry delayed replying to the invitation to the Coronation because he was engaged in 'transatlantic ping pong' and was 'preoccupied' by where he would have to sit, sources have indicated.

It was one of the reasons he was so late in confirming his decision to attend the crowning of his father King Charles III at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

Neither Buckingham Palace nor a legal representative for the Duke of Sussex responded to a request for comment today. But more than one source has confirmed to the Mail that there have been 'extensive discussions' between London and California over the issue.

One said: 'Harry's side was keen to find out, presumably because they wanted to rubber-stamp it, what the seating plan at the Abbey is. There's been extensive back and forth about who they [Harry and Meghan] would be sitting behind if they came. And who would be behind them.'

Harry was apparently quite preoccupied by this particular detail, the source said.

MEGHAN MCCAIN: God help America! Meghan has snubbed the coronation - and any hopes of her and Harry buzzing off back to the UK are lost forever. What did we do to deserve these whiny ingrates?
Daily Mail UK, Apr 13, 2023

[...]

But let's keep it real here. No one in their right mind believes Hollywood Meghan Markle is passing up a chance to peacock in front of the world to blow up balloons and serve cake in the backyard.

They couldn’t celebrate in the U.K.? Pssst… a preschooler has no idea what country he’s in.

There are arguably few people on Earth more obsessed with seeing themselves on camera than Meghan.

Now, all of a sudden, she doesn't want to be pictured in public, dressed up in one of those ridiculous tiny hats? I'm sorry. I'm not buying it.

I believe brave Meghan is chickening out. It seems to me that she is clearly unwilling to face the music with her in-laws and the British public

No matter how tone-deaf she is (and she’s pretty tone-deaf), she must be aware of how deeply unpopular she is in her husband's home country. She would likely be booed the second the private jet’s wheels touch down.

[...]

They may be breathing a sigh of relief across the pond. But this means that Meghan is left stranded on our side of the water.

Good grief!

Any hopes that they’d get tired of the California sunshine and buzz off back to Great Britain are utterly lost.

In the end, it’s obvious why Meghan is choosing to pass on the coronation: It’s not about her.

This glorious, historic celebration is about welcoming the reign of a new King and his Queen. It is also about highlighting the next generation of working Royals, not the ones who hightailed it out of town to go hang out with Ellen DeGeneres.

If Meghan were to attend the coronation, she would be relegated to the same place she and Harry occupied during Queen Elizabeth's funeral – the D-List. To her, that’s unacceptable.

But Meghan and the Prince of Mope have made their beds - and now they must lie in them. Their decision will hang over Harry’s trip - and it will give Americans even more reason to be disgusted by them both. No one likes an ingrate.

I suspect that the Queen's funeral was a big eye-opener to Meghan. People in line for days to pay their respects to QE vs the much lower opinion of the people to her and Harry. The two of them have so damaged their brand in the UK (and world-wide, IMO), and she just doesn't have it in her to deal with that face to face, much less show some humility.

Gutfeld said it well the other night.  Meghan married Harry for relevance, then was surprised when she finally realized that the only way he would ever wear a crown was if he had his birthday party at Burger King.

King Charles makes ‘peace offering’ to Meghan — in coronation souvenir program

By Samantha Ibrahim and Rob Bailey-Millado
April 18, 2023

King Charles’ latest move has royal watchers declaring he’s offering an “olive branch” to the estranged Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.

The monarch has prominently featured a photograph of the controversial Duke and Duchess of Sussex in his official coronation souvenir program.

Markle’s appearance is raising eyebrows considering she’s infamously not attending the historic May 6 event.

The fun family photo was actually snapped in Clarence Gardens in 2018 for Charles’ 70th birthday, which explains the absence of Harry and Meghan’s babes Princess Lilibet, 1, and Prince Archie, 3.

Of course, some social media watchdogs are cattily calling out the dated image.

 Kate Middleton blocked Meghan Markle from attending coronation: ‘Sit at the back’
By Andrew Court   
April 14, 2023 10:04am

Princess Kate blocked sister-in-law Meghan Markle from attending King Charles’ upcoming coronation, a prominent royal biographer claims.

Tom Bower, who penned the best-selling “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” made the shocking declaration during an interview with GB News on Thursday, saying he believed Markle may actually have wanted to attend the historic event.

“We must all be grateful that Kate, in the end, I think, prevented Meghan from coming, and said she ‘wouldn’t have her there under any circumstances,’” the author claimed. “And if she [Markle] did come, she’d have to sit at the back.”

“I do think that for the royal family, Harry’s presence is constitutionally important,” Bower continued. “God forbid, the Cambridges all died, we’d have King Harry on the throne after Charles, so he’s got to be there.”

Buckingham Palace confirmed on Tuesday that Prince Harry will head to London to attend the coronation alone on May 6. Markle will stay in California with the couple’s two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Prince Harry’s solo coronation trip will ‘backfire terribly’: Meghan’s ex-pal

By Nika Shakhnazarova
April 21, 2023

Meghan Markle’s former friend has issued a stark warning to Prince Harry ahead of his solo trip to his father’s coronation next month.

TV presenter Lizzie Cundy, who struck up a friendship with the Duchess of Sussex in 2013, believes that Harry’s brief return to home soil will “backfire terribly” on him.

Cundy said that the exiled royal’s appearance at King Charles’ May 6 ceremony will be a “fleeting” one when he attends without his wife, Meghan Markle.

“Prince Harry coming to the coronation and dipping his toe in and out, he’ll have a hard job walking away with any pride, he’ll be on one leg as his other foot will be in his mouth,” she told The Mirror.

“He’s only coming to the coronation for a fleeting moment so he can write in his next book or say in his next interview with Meghan, how poorly treated he was by everybody and how his dad didn’t want him. He’s done this to himself.”

Fascinating story by @victoria_ward. The question is, why does the Sussex camp want to leak all this? Is it Meghan trying to prevent an outbreak of peace between Harry and his father? And intriguing that they should resort to the sort of briefing that they condemned in others.

The Duchess of Sussex expressed her concerns about unconscious bias in the Royal family in a letter to the King, The Telegraph can reveal.

Meghan Markle was left upset after a letter from King Charles did not address her belief that neglect led to her feeling suicidal or concerns over the launch of a bullying probe into her, it was claimed last night.

The Duchess of Sussex wrote to King Charles about the issues, as well as about unconscious bias in the Royal family after her bombshell Oprah interview, it has been claimed.

She is believed to have brought up her poor mental health while participating as a working royal, having claimed in the interview that she reached the point of feeling suicidal but was told by palace aides she was not allowed to seek professional help.

There was also said to be disappointment that the letter from Charles did not address her concerns about the bullying probe which was launched into her behaviour towards staff.

These feelings may have played a part in the Duchess' decision to remain in California while Prince Harry attends the coronation, The Telegraph reports.

Prince Harry will 'sit 10 rows back' from other royals at King Charles' coronation and will 'not hang around', expert claims

    Prince Harry could be sat ten rows behind his brother at the King's coronation
    Former butler Paul Burrell said he believes there is 'no chance' of reconciliation

By Stewart Carr

Prince Harry will be sat ten rows back from other senior royals at his father's coronation before making a hasty exit, according to one royal insider.

Former butler Paul Burrell says the Duke of Sussex may have little time to speak to the King or his brother, The Prince of Wales, during his visit next month.

He added there is 'no chance' of a reconciliation following the fallout from his bombshell memoir Spare earlier this year, The Sun reports.

Despite the appearance of a snub, Prince Harry's far-back position could be helpful if he wishes to make a quick exit, the ex-royal aide revealed.

Mr Burrell told GB News' Dan Wootton: 'He doesn't want to spend much time around them.

Only six days to go! Royal superfans continue camping out on The Mall ahead of King Charles' coronation
Daily Mail, Apr 30, 2023

Royal superfans are continuing to camp out on The Mall this weekend as they try and bag front row seats to the procession for King Charles' coronation.

A number of royal supporters have erected temporary homes made of tarpaulin along the iconic road just over a week before the big day on May 6.

Keen observers will notice camping beds and bags of belongings underneath the huge blue mass, along with some familiar faces.

When the procession itself comes past on Saturday, with the King and Queen being taken to Westminster Abbey and back to Buckingham Palace, the stretch of road is expected to be lined with thousands of people.

So perhaps it's no surprise that some of the keenest fans of the monarchy have got there early in an attempt to beat the last minute rush for the prime spots along The Mall.

We are ALL invited to swear our allegiance to the King: How historic break with centuries of tradition will turn Charles' big day into the People's Coronation
Daily Mail, Apr 29, 2023

Millions of people will be called upon to swear 'true allegiance' to King Charles at the Coronation, it can be revealed.

For the first time in history, every citizen of the UK and all the other nations of which the monarch is head of state will be asked to 'make their homage in heart and voice to their undoubted King'. The trailblazing move will make the ceremony more of a 'People's Coronation', as previously only members of the aristocracy were called upon to make such a pledge.

The 'Homage of the People' is just one of the significant updates to the ancient ritual, which will see other religious faiths, as well as the Church of England, playing key roles. Female members of the clergy will also be involved for the first time.

The influence of the late Queen will be clear throughout the two-hour ceremony and there will be a tribute to the King's late father, Prince Philip.

And when Queen Camilla is crowned after her husband it will be the first time a Consort has been anointed in full public view.

(https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/04/29/22/70390757-12029391-Millions_of_people_will_be_called_upon_to_swear_true_allegiance_-a-1_1682803725754.jpg)

The break with centuries of tradition will be most marked with the Homage of the People, when the Archbishop of Canterbury will call on those in Westminster Abbey, and watching on television to pledge their allegiance.

It replaces the 'homage of the peers' where members of the aristocracy lined up to honour the new monarch. Now only Prince William, Charles's heir, will do so.

Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith said: 'It's hugely exciting. It's probably the most radical departure from tradition we've heard about so far, and it's about as inclusive as you can get, asking the whole world to acclaim him as King.

'It's a wonderful, democratic and inclusive gesture and very 21st Century. We knew all along this was going to be a different and modern twist on the Coronation but this step is really quite a radical one.'

Constitutional expert Sir Vernon Bogdanor added: 'It's a very sensible change. Even in 1953 I think it was out of date to have the peers there to represent the people as a whole. It is certainly out of date now. It would look ludicrous.

'The Coronation confirms that he is the rightful King and it's right that a sample of people should be doing that. The Coronation has to balance tradition with adapting itself to current conditions.'

Love is in the heir! Kate and William share sweet unseen snap from family day out to mark the 12th anniversary of their spectacular wedding (and they even include adorable emoji message)
Daily Mail, Apr 29, 2023

The Prince and Princess of Wales today shared a heart-warming new photograph from a family day out in Sandringham to mark 12 years of marriage.

Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey, in a service that was watched by 36.7 million people across the world.

Now 12 years on, with three young children, the couple appeared more in love than ever in a sweet outdoorsy snap posted on their social media accounts.

Prince Harry 'faces uniform humiliation' at King Charles' coronation - while brother William will be allowed to wear military garb

    Military Historian Dr Johnston claims Harry will still wear his medals, however
    Read more: Where it all went wrong for Kate Middleton and Prince Harry

Prince Harry could be facing 'uniform humiliation' at King Charles III's coronation as he may not be allowed to wear military garb.

The Duke of Sussex did announce that he will be attending the historic coronation on May 6 - but he will be alone as Meghan and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will remain at home in California.

Now royal commentators are considering what the prince will be wearing and whether he will even be allowed to fit within the processions to Westminster Abbey.

Military Historian Dr Peter Johnston told True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat that Harry may be allowed to display a different tribute to his service despite serving two tours in Afghanistan.

'I imagine Harry won't wear uniform [at the Coronation],' he said.

Prince William's Key Role at Coronation Revealed — How the Heir Will Pay Homage to Father King Charles
People, Apr 30, 2023

The Prince of Wales, who is heir to the British throne, will step forward at Westminster Abbey on May 6 and pledge his loyalty and allegiance to the King during the historic ceremony.

Soon after King Charles is crowned midway through the ceremony, Prince William, 40, will kneel before King Charles, 74, and place his hands between the hands of the King and say: "I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God."

Prince William — who celebrated his 12th wedding anniversary with Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales on Saturday — is the only royal who will pay his respects in this way in the service.

Prince William will also appear during the coronation service as the Stole Royal (from an ancient Greek word meaning "scarf") and the Robe Royal are brought to the King. William will assist the Baroness Merron and bishops in putting the robe on King Charles.

The liturgy also sees another distinct break from the past, with the Archbishop, the Most Rev. and Right Honorable Justin Welby, inviting people around the U.K. watching or listening to the ceremony to join in a Homage of the People. That role would traditionally have been done by hereditary dukes and earls at Westminster Abbey.

The Church of England says this is a "new and significant moment in the tradition of the Coronation . . . As never before has the general public been offered such an opportunity to join with national figures in declaring their allegiance to the Sovereign."

The new vow says, "I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God."

Prince George, Prince William's eldest son who is second in the line of succession, will also play a special role in his grandfather's coronation. The 9-year-old royal will serve as a Page of Honor to King Charles at the crowning ceremony.

George's participation at the coronation will make history — according to The Telegraph, Prince George will become the youngest future king to play an official role at a coronation.

By now Harry must realize that his disloyalty to his family has consequences and his marriage to the gold digger was a huge mistake.  He has two children though and I hope they bring him a lot of happiness.

Harry can give us the blow by blow by being sitted 10 rows back sitting there in  his newly minted title the "Duke of Douchebaggery".  There he can get with Tony Blair's 3rd cousin, and get up to date on all the Football, Cricket, and Polo scores.

Prince Harry Will Leave U.K. Within Hours after King Charles' Coronation Service: Report
People, May 1, 2023

Prince Harry's visit to the U.K. for King Charles' coronation will be a quick trip.

Over the weekend, The Sun reported that the Duke of Sussex, 38, will be in and out of Great Britain in 24 hours for his father's historic crowning ceremony beside Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey on Saturday. The May 6 coronation day is also Prince Archie's 4th birthday, and Harry is reportedly flying back to be there for his son.

"Harry will be in and out of the U.K. in 24 hours," a source told The Sun. "He will only be doing the coronation service, then leaving."

According to the outlet, the Duke of Sussex will arrive on Friday and be back on a plane within two hours after the church service ends on Saturday. The transatlantic trip of more than 5,400 miles is about an 11-hour nonstop flight. With the time difference, he could be home in California with Prince Archie, daughter Princess Lilibet and wife Meghan Markle by evening.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Are Reportedly 'Leading Separate Lives' As She's Caught Pulling Away From Him On Kiss Cam—Yikes!

It looks like there may be trouble in paradise for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex…

Rumors are swirling that Meghan Markle, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, are allegedly leading “separate lives” and spending less time together, with a royal insider reportedly confirming this to GB News.

On top of that, fans think Markle seemingly pulled away from her husband when they were caught on the ‘Kiss Cam’ at a Lakers game last week. We’ll break down the Sussexes’ reported issues as King Charles‘ May 6th coronation approaches (Harry is supposed to attend!)

Royal commentator Celia Walden sat down with GB News last week, and dished that the Archetypes podcaster and Spare author are "pursuing different agendas." Warden added that the married couple are "breaking apart and leading separate lives." ...

Meghan Markle ready for Hollywood comeback? Duchess of Sussex ‘has a knack for getting what she wants’: expert
The Duchess of Sussex, who resides in California, recently signed for representation with WME
By Stephanie Nolasco , Ashley Papa | Fox News

Is Meghan Markle gearing up for a Hollywood comeback? Some experts seem to think so.

On April 27, the Duchess of Sussex became a crown jewel for WME and signed up for representation with the legendary agency, Variety reported. According to the outlet, numerous agency rivals attempted to land the former American actress since she and her husband Prince Harry moved to California in 2020.

According to reports, Markle will make millions from the deal, which has been in the works for months. Page Six reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been spotted more frequently in Hollywood.

Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital he suspects the mother of two will poise herself to be a power player in Tinseltown as her empire beyond palace doors strikes back.

"If Meghan doesn’t end up hosting a daytime syndicated talk show, I'll be surprised," said Andersen. "She certainly seems well-suited to that role in particular, and I can easily see her pursuing a career path similar to Oprah's in the media: a show, a magazine, producing, directing — the works. She still has a sizeable chunk of the viewing public in her corner."

"Once all the controversy surrounding the Sussexes' ongoing feud with the rest of the royal family dies down, assuming it ever does, I could easily see her launching a successful talk show," he shared. "Meghan has always had her fingers in a lot of pies, and she has a knack for getting what she wants. Millions of girls dream of becoming a princess, but she made it happen — and against all odds to boot! Becoming the next Oprah — a powerful and influential media mogul — does not feel far-fetched at all."

Other than Springer having had an IQ that was probably double that of Okra,is there an actual difference?

Oprah is D...U....M "dumb". Anyone that has ever heard her  talking without an ear bud in her ear,where she is making her own decisions about what to say can testify to that. The woman actually  tried to film a road trip with  her and her female main squeeze Gail to show they were just "reglar folks,a-drivin ah car cross de cuntry",and when she stopped for gas,couldn't figure out how to do it. Couldn't even find the filler flap.

Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister predicts separation from Harry: ‘They are at an impasse’

By Jesse O’Neill
May 4, 2023

Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister thinks the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry are on the outs — and alleges her reluctant royal relative is trying to upstage King Charles III’s Saturday coronation.

Samantha Markle, 58, based her breakup claim on Meghan’s apparent rebuke of a kiss-camera smooch from Harry when the pair showed up at a Los Angeles Lakers game last month — spilling the gossip during an interview with GBNews released Tuesday.

“It’s so different and so inconsistent with her character,” Samantha told the outlet. “Previously in all the photographs she was pining over him, putting her hands all over him, grabbing his hands, grabbing his back.

“So what’s up with this? Is this a symbol of separation? This is different. This is seemingly a statement on her part that she’s not all that touchy feely right now.

“It’s kind of sad. It’s telling the rest of the world, all of us, that they are at an impasse and maybe they’re making decisions to part,” said Samantha, who has not had a relationship with Markle, 41, since 2014, according to The Irish Mirror. The two share the same father, Thomas Markle.

Samantha Markle, 58, based her breakup claim on Meghan’s apparent rebuke of a kiss-camera smooch from Harry when the pair showed up at a Los Angeles Lakers game last month — spilling the gossip during an interview with GBNews released Tuesday.

“It’s so different and so inconsistent with her character,” Samantha told the outlet. “Previously in all the photographs she was pining over him, putting her hands all over him, grabbing his hands, grabbing his back.

“So what’s up with this? Is this a symbol of separation? This is different. This is seemingly a statement on her part that she’s not all that touchy feely right now.

“It’s kind of sad. It’s telling the rest of the world, all of us, that they are at an impasse and maybe they’re making decisions to part,” said Samantha, who has not had a relationship with Markle, 41, since 2014, according to The Irish Mirror. The two share the same father, Thomas Markle.

Queen Elizabeth publicly called Harry meeting ‘evil’ Meghan a ‘complete catastrophe’: report

By Lee Brown
May 5, 2023

Queen Elizabeth II publicly signaled that she regretted that her grandson Prince Harry met his wife Meghan Markle — calling her “evil” and their courtship a “complete catastrophe,” according to an explosive report.

The longest-serving monarch “saw through Meghan Markle” and made the uncharacteristic remarks at a reception in Balmoral in August, weeks before her death, a source close to the royals told The Spectator.

“At the drinks before the dinner, a small group were talking to the monarch and she explained that Harry meeting Meghan had become a complete catastrophe and described her as evil,” the source claimed.

“Everybody’s eyebrows hit the ceiling,” the source recalled.

“It was out of character for the queen to use such a word as ‘evil’ to describe Meghan, but she saw straight through her.

Meghan and Harry's plan to destroy the British monarchy didn't count on this happening
Meghan and Harry have in effect declared war on the royals, starting with the nasty Oprah interview in 2021

By Nile Gardiner | Fox News

After months of uncertainty, Prince Harry eventually decided to attend the coronation of his father, King Charles III, in Westminster Abbey on May 6. Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, will not be there, however. The Duchess of Sussex has decided to stay in Montecito, California, while the Duke travels to London.

Harry’s visit across the Atlantic is expected to be brief and takes place amid increasing acrimony with his brother, Prince William, and his wife, the Princess of Wales. Reports in London suggest that many members of the royal family will be keeping their distance from the increasingly toxic Harry, following his salvo of attacks against the royals in his highly controversial memoir, "Spare."

Both Harry and Meghan have become increasingly unpopular in the United Kingdom since the release of "Spare" and their hugely hyped Netflix documentary, which debuted last November. They have, in fact, become two of the most disliked celebrity figures in the U.K. today. Their standing has also taken a major hit stateside, where the satirical show "South Park" delivered a devastating takedown of the royal couple in a recent episode.

Undoubtedly a key reason for Meghan’s decision not to attend the coronation was fear of being booed on the streets of London, a scene that would be immensely damaging to her carefully cultivated brand.

Another factor was the humiliation of being relegated to second-tier status as "non-working royals," which denies them the right to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the coronation celebrations.

Quite honestly, the fact that Harry feels compelled to come to the coronation, and will apparently swear fealty to Charles as king, and the fact that Meghan is not coming with him, is, under the circumstances, quite a win for the royal family.

Monarchy’s future ‘really well set’ as British royals have ‘100 year plan’ for survival: Royal expert

Royal expert Nick Bullen discussed the future of the monarchy during Saturday's coronation, predicting that the Royal Family will persist, especially given the show of support at Saturday's coronation.

"I think the future of the monarchy is really well set," Bullen said. "I've made programs with the royal family and we've talked to them about how they operate a 100-year plan. They're not even thinking about when William takes over or even when George takes over. It's when George's grandchildren take over, so they're always thinking 100 years ahead."

"I think people in Britain really want the royal family still," he added. "The other options just aren't really things that we'd consider."

He cited a survey that looked at what Americas thought of the royal family, where 34 million Americans said they were avid royal fans, while another 35 million said they were truly fascinated by the royal family. ........

REVIEW: 'The Windsors at War: The King, His Brother, and a Family Divided'
Dominic Green   
May 7, 2023
Quote
Two houses, each alike in indignity. For there can be no dignity when the world knows your business because your exiled brother and his American wife are complaining about you to the media. The Meghan and Harry saga is what Sigmund Freud and Elizabeth II would have recognized as "the return of the repressed." For decades, the late queen feared a return of "Uncle David," known to the world as Edward VIII, and his wife, the erstwhile Wallis Simpson of Baltimore. Elizabeth II lived long enough to see her nightmare come true, with Prince Harry bringing some second-son energy to the role of entitled manchild and Meghan Markle adding a touch of the Norma Desmond as she clings to the biggest role of her life (though she did not attend this weekend’s coronation).

History repeats as farce with a Netflix contract. Edward and Wallis were tabloid material at the time. The difference was that while the British media obliged Buckingham Palace by suppressing the story of the king’s romance with a divorcée, the American media had fun. This pattern endured after 1945. While the royals did their best to pretend that Edward and Wallis did not exist, Edward and Wallis sold England by the pound in the United States. Prince Harry may be too slow to see it, but in escaping The Firm, he has merely sidestepped into another family business.  ...

Was Edward a posh twit with good intentions, or was he a traitor by choice? Did he serve his country by trying to avert another world war, or did he betray it in its hour of peril? The evidence that Edward was a posh twit is massive and incontrovertible. The evidence about his motives will always be partial. It is also ambiguous, because securing peace between Britain and Germany would almost inevitably have returned him and Wallis to Britain and the throne. ...

George, a decent chap who struggled with a stutter and smoked himself to death, became a hero for sticking it out under the bombs. Edward was parked for the duration in the Bahamas, where he continued to hang out with Nazi sympathizers, griped about living in a "third-class British colony," and engaged in dodgy schemes for self-enrichment. He felt "acute pain" at his demotion and became an acute pain in the neck.

Once, both brothers were just posh twits with good intentions. Today, George is the patriot king and Edward the Nazi-loving traitor. This polarized image is pretty accurate. Wallis loved the Nazis more, but Edward, like many posh English twits at the time, valued Adolf Hitler as a potential ally in protecting the British Empire from the Bolsheviks and the Jews. He was making pro-Hitler statements in public as early as 1935. When Edward was pushed off the throne in 1936, a secret British civil service memo reported that Hitler was "very distressed at the turn that affairs had taken in this country, since he had looked upon the late King as a man after his own heart, and one who understood the Führerprinzip." ...

'I was exasperated': Prince Harry's ghostwriter J.R Moehringer tells of tensions between them while working on Spare and reveals their relationship became so fraught that he shouted at the royal in row at 2am

By Richard Eden Diary Editor For The Daily Mail

Published: 11:59 EDT, 8 May 2023 | Updated: 16:07 EDT, 8 May 2023

Tensions between the Duke of Sussex and the rest of his family are so bad that Mike Tindall once publicly joked that the royals would like to throw a few punches at him.

Now, Prince Harry's ghostwriter, J. R. Moehringer, has revealed that their relationship became so fraught while they were working on the book Spare that he started shouting at the King's younger son at one point.

'I was exasperated with Prince Harry,' Moehringer admits, 'My head was pounding, my jaw was clenched, and I was starting to raise my voice.

'And yet some part of me was still able to step outside the situation and think, ''This is so weird. I'm shouting at Prince Harry''.

'Then, as Harry started going back at me, as his cheeks flushed and his eyes narrowed, a more pressing thought occurred: ''Whoa, it could all end right here''.'

Prince Andrew 'is refusing to budge' from Royal Lodge as he demands a summit with King Charles — and a bit of dignity from his brother

    Prince Andrew is refusing to move out of his £30m home Royal Lodge in Windsor
    King Charles feels Duke should leave the home and move into Frogmore Cottage
    It is understood Royal Lodge is earmarked for Prince William and his family 

By Daphne Barak For The Mail On Sunday

Published: 16:42 EDT, 13 May 2023 | Updated: 16:45 EDT, 13 May 2023

Prince Andrew will not move out of his £30 million home, Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, putting him on collision course with King Charles.

The Duke of York is digging his heels in and refusing to vacate the 30-room mansion, his home for more than 20 years.

Charles has let it be known that Andrew should leave the house, where he lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and downsize to Prince Harry’s former home, Frogmore Cottage.

It is widely understood that Royal Lodge, once occupied by the Queen Mother, has been earmarked for Prince William and his family.

As first revealed in The Mail on Sunday, the King is cutting the annual £250,000 subsidy that the late Queen gave to Andrew – meaning he can no longer afford the upkeep for the mansion.

I know nothing  about English law,but I am pretty sure that since KING Charles is not only the King of England,but
 OWNS the property he should have no trouble getting Andrew evicted if he wants.

Kate Middleton Makes Surprise Appearance at Piano During Eurovision Song Contest


Quote

Kate Middleton added some star power to the opening of Saturday’s Eurovision Song Contest.

During the televised broadcast for the annual music competition that aired on BBC One and Peacock, the Princess of Wales performed piano as part of a pre-recorded introduction ahead of the event’s final performances. She performed a bit of the Kalush Orchestra song “Stefania,” which was the Ukrainian group’s winning entry at last year’s Eurovision. Other musicians to appear at various points in the segment included Andrew Lloyd Webber, Ms Banks and Joss Stone.

Footage of the performance was shared on the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales. “A #Eurovision surprise,” the post’s caption read. “A pleasure to join @kalush.official in a special performance of last year’s winning @eurovision entry. Enjoy the show, Liverpool.”

King Charles ‘further alienated’ from Prince Harry by Queen Camilla; insider says ‘things look pretty bleak’
Prince Harry attended King Charles' coronation without Meghan Markle
By Lauryn Overhultz , Ashley Papa | Fox News

  Queen Camilla has "further alienated" Prince Harry from the royal family, according to a royal expert.

Camilla has used Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle's status as non-working royals to continue the fractured relationship between Charles and his son, Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital.

"The king hates being caught in the middle, but when push comes to shove, he will always choose Camilla," Andersen said. "The queen has used this nonsensical 'But they're no longer working royals' argument to further alienate the king from his second son. I think every time the king considers handing Harry an olive branch, Camilla makes sure Charles is reminded of all the terrible things written about her in 'Spare.'

"So, in the long run, I think things look pretty bleak as far as mending the relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals is concerned," he added. "Charles seems to be drifting more and more in the direction of just severing those ties, and that will become easier as more and more time passes. Out of sight ..."

Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship with Camilla has been "frosty" since the beginning, and Harry's words about the queen in his memoir didn't help, Andersen claimed.

"Camilla was understandably livid over Harry's characterization of her as a 'villain' in his book. I think it also came as a total shock to Camilla to learn that both William and Harry begged their father not to marry her," Andersen said. "Charles has been sitting on that little tidbit for 18 years.

"If the late Queen Elizabeth had known how strongly William and Harry felt about it, perhaps she would not have reluctantly agreed to let Charles and Camilla marry in 2005."

But he says the new queen most likely wouldn't have done anything differently if she'd known.

 ‘Shaken’ Meghan Markle, Prince Harry involved in ‘near-fatal’ paparazzi chase in NYC

By Sara Nathan

May 17, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “extremely upset and shaken” after being involved in a “near-catastrophic” paparazzi chase in NYC.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were traveling with Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, were frighteningly pursued by photographers after leaving the Ziegfeld Theater — where the former actress was honored by Gloria Steinem at the Women of Vision Awards — in Manhattan on Tuesday night.

The trio left the event in an SUV at around 10 p.m., and were immediately followed by around 12 paparazzi, we’re told.

A source claims that one cameraman hit a car, while another almost ran over a NYPD officer, during the “near-fatal” chase.

“It started off with 12 paparazzi then ended up with four chasing [Meghan, Harry and Doria],” the insider tells us. “Their security tried their best to lose [photographers].”

Once in the taxi, the duke used his cell phone to record the ensuing melee.

We’re told security was also recording to gather evidence.

Paparazzi were confronted by uniformed police officers, but ignored warnings and continued chasing the trio, we hear.

 More details on Harry, Meghan pap chase emerge as timeline is pieced together

By Riley Cardoza

May 17, 2023 | 1:36pm

Additional details from Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Doria Ragland’s “near-catastrophic” paparazzi chase are coming to light.

The New York Police Department released a statement Wednesday about the incident, saying they “assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex” after the couple left the Women of Vision Awards in an SUV around 10 p.m. Tuesday.

“There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging,” a police spokesperson recalled of the ordeal.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination, and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries or arrests in regard.”

The royals’ spokesperson previously told Page Six that the “relentless pursuit” lasted more than two hours and resulted in “multiple near collisions” with drivers, pedestrians and two NYPD officers.


Quote
The California residents all remain in New York City after the harrowing occurrence, a source told Page Six, noting that they are all “still upset, to say the least.”

It is unclear when the family members will return home.

Inside the drama of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s NYC paparazzi chase ordeal

By Joe Marino, Craig McCarthy, Mara Siegler and Olivia Land
May 17, 2023

Harry and Meghan’s supposed “near catastrophic” and “over two hour” paparazzi car chase wasn’t exactly the high-drama debacle that their reps made out, according to law enforcement sources, who said the couple was tailed for about an hour had a police escort.

A high-ranking source reiterated the NYPD’s statement that cops had “no collision reports or 911 calls” related to the chase. Though other sources noted that two uniformed police were “nearly missed” by paparazzi as Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, left the Ziegfeld Theater in Midtown around 9:50 p.m.

“We only had one car as part of this. [The chase] definitely wasn’t two hours,” the high-ranking source told The Post on Wednesday.

The couple – accompanied at the Women of Vision Awards by Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland – were traveling in a vehicle flanked by both a private security car and an NYPD vehicle, sources said.

The group wanted to return to the private Upper East Side residence where they were staying the night, but were apparently hindered by “significant” press presence that followed them from the venue, sources said.

I thought this when the story first broke. It, imho, was a publicity stunt using a dead mother's death. That is shameful. If it had been true why would Harry have it allowed to continue (considering his past) and put not only himself but his wife, mother-in-law and bystanders at risk? What's the worst that could happen? They would get their picture taken. Oh, the humanity!

I hate to a complete cynic...but I'm sure St. Meg of Markle is basking in the publicity.

 Phantom thread Piers Morgan: Meghan and Harry's 'near-catastrophic' car chase 'story is unraveling'

Piers Morgan, Megyn Kelly and Caitlyn Jenner have all trashed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s claim that they were caught up in a “near-catastrophic” two-hour car chase in Manhattan on Tuesday night.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a statement on Wednesday morning saying that they were hounded by snappers after they left the Women of Vision Awards and headed to a private residence on the Upper East Side.

“Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and [Markle’s mother] Ms. Ragland were involved in a near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi,” a spokesperson for the couple claimed.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” they added.

However, the car chase claims raised eyebrows with some Sussex critics, including Morgan, who bluntly tweeted: “There was no 2-hour chase, their story is unraveling by the minute.”

Kelly, meanwhile, also expressed doubts that it would take 120 minutes for the Sussexes to travel from Midtown to the neighboring Upper East Side.

“I lived in Manhattan for 17 yrs & it is not possible to have a 2hr ‘car chase’ there,” she wrote. “Too many street lights/stop signs, too much foot/car traffic & hundreds of places you could safely pull over to protect yourself.”

Jenner — who was involved in a fatal multi-car collision in 2015 — also tweeted: “I have been party to paps following me in NY (definitely not 2 hrs and plenty of evidence – kind of the point since they have cameras), LA (even in a city with lots of driving and long distances between destinations, not 2 hours, and AGAIN LOTS OF EVIDENCE) it comes with the territory. Whine whine whine is all these 2 seem to do.”

Prowler arrested outside Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's Montecito home

A citizens arrest was made at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's California home, Fox News Digital can confirm.

Kevin Garcia Valdovinos, 29, was caught lurking outside the Duke and Duchess' Montecito mansion early Monday morning by the royals' private security, according to the Santa Barbara Sheriff's office. At 2:11 a.m. security called police after carrying out a citizens arrest of Valdovinos, originally from Lake Elsinore, at the service entrance.

The suspect was arrested for a misdemeanor charge of stalking without incident and booked at the county jail. He was later released on $2,500 bail.

After further examination by detectives, the incident was classified as "a violation of 647(h) PC – Prowling (misdemeanor) and not a stalking violation." The investigation remains ongoing.

A representative for the couple did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment. It is unclear if Markle, Prince Harry, or their children Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 1, were there when the incident occurred.

One thing to be given security as a working Royal and quite another to expect security in the U.S. where they have decided to live.  Let them pay for their own security.  I hope Charles eyes are open, but I'm sure the distance between him and Harry must be heartbreaking.    Charles did stand his ground at the coronation and sat Harry three row back from the working Royals and those who are in the immediate line of succession to be the next King; William and George. Charlotte and Louis also come before Harry.   

Harry feels he is a spare, why would a spare need security?  Seriously??  Markle is a huge drama queen and a gold digger and she finally figured out she really isn't squat.

Princess Diana’s ex-bodyguard defends paparazzi in Harry and Meghan’s NYC car chase

By Snejana Farberov
May 18, 2023

Princess Diana’s former bodyguard came to the defense of the paparazzi involved in what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle claimed was an hours-long “near catastrophic” car chase — insisting that the shutterbugs are “at worst a nuisance” but “are not out to cause the death” of anyone.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed they were subjected to a “relentless pursuit” by “highly aggressive” photographers as they were returning from the Women of Vision Awards, where Meghan was honored for her advocacy, at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night.

In an interview with ITV’s “Good Morning Britain” Thursday, Ken Wharfe, who was in charge of Princess Diana’s round-the-clock security between 1987 and 1993, downplayed the threat from the paparazzi.

“The paparazzi, at best, can be talked to, but at worst they’re a nuisance,” he said, citing his own experience.

“But they’re not out to cause the death of any one person. So, I think we have to be a little bit careful there.”

 Harry and Meghan demand photo agency give them footage of NYC ‘chase’
By Natalie O'Neill   
May 18, 2023 6:50pm

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle demanded that a photo agency hand over footage snapped by paparazzi during their high-profile “chase” in New York City — but the firm gave them the royal snub, lawyers said Thursday.

The embattled Duke and Duchess — who described their run-in with Big Apple photographers Tuesday as “near-catastrophic” — insisted they need the images to improve their own security, according to TMZ.

“We hereby demand that Backgrid [photo agency]  immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films taken last night by the freelance photographers after the couple left their event and over the next several hours,” a letter from their lawyers proclaimed Wednesday.

But attorneys for the celebrity photo agency refused, firing  back that the royals can’t play by the king’s rules here in the states.

“In America, as I’m sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it: Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do,” Backgrid’s legal team responded.

 Sussex show is out of gas Sorry, Harry and Meghan — the car-chase lies don't fly in NYC

 Sorry, Harry and Meghan — the lies don’t fly in NYC
By Douglas Murray   
May 18, 2023 6:02pm

Two unwelcome imports arrived in New York this week. You may have heard about Harry and Meghan’s big night in the city.

Accounts of their time here differ.

According to the couple themselves they suffered the ordeal of a two-hour, “near-catastrophic” car-chase with paparazzi tailing them all the way.

According to other sources (including the NYPD and the driver of the taxi the couple changed into to look humbler) the truth was rather different.

The fact is we didn´t need the authorities to tell us that. 

Every New Yorker knows that any kind of car-chase — let alone a two-hour one — is literally impossible in this city.

You can sit in traffic for two hours, sure. But actually racing through the city?

Sorry, but no. Every New Yorker can call that out as BS.

And now we have the footage to prove it.

Video of the exchange shows that the Sussexes were accompanied by the NYPD and that they moved at no speed at all.

 Why royal family won’t comment on Harry and Meghan’s ‘car chase’
By Brooke Steinberg   
May 18, 2023 3:10pm

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s car chase claims, according to a new report.

A source told Entertainment Tonight that neither Buckingham nor Kensington Palace will be commenting on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s allegations of a car chase.

“Since Harry and Meghan have stepped back from royal duties, the palace generally does not comment on their activities,” the source told the outlet.

The Post has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.

A source told Page Six that no one from the royal family — neither King Charles III and Queen Camilla, nor Prince William and Kate Middleton — has checked in on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after the incident.

Harry and Meghan demand photo agency give them footage of NYC ‘chase’
By Natalie O'Neill   
May 18, 2023 6:50pm

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle demanded that a photo agency hand over footage snapped by paparazzi during their high-profile “chase” in New York City — but the firm gave them the royal snub, lawyers said Thursday.

The embattled Duke and Duchess — who described their run-in with Big Apple photographers Tuesday as “near-catastrophic” — insisted they need the images to improve their own security, according to TMZ.

“We hereby demand that Backgrid [photo agency]  immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films taken last night by the freelance photographers after the couple left their event and over the next several hours,” a letter from their lawyers proclaimed Wednesday.

But attorneys for the celebrity photo agency refused, firing  back that the royals can’t play by the king’s rules here in the states.

“In America, as I’m sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it: Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do,” Backgrid’s legal team responded.

“Perhaps you should sit down with your client and advise them that his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago. We stand by our founding fathers,” it states.

This  pointing-up is worthy of framing.   88devil

What.

“The couple’s team were so shaken that they stayed up all night, monitoring news sites to see which images were published and by whom.”

They are their own worst enemies.

Proves what I've always believed: Harry and Meghan genuinely think if they keep talking and oversharing, they'll convince others of their side. "Now I get it! You WERE right!"

But all they're really doing is shredding their reputations, burning bridges, and turning everyone off.

Harry & Meghan’s NYC ‘car chase’ happened because they were too cheap to pay for hotel: source

By Emily Smith
May 19, 2023

Harry and Meghan’s “near-catastrophic car chase” happened because they were too cheap to pay for a hotel, sources have revealed.

The entitled couple allegedly demanded the Carlyle — the late Princess Diana’s favorite hotel — give them a discounted room for their New York City visit this week.

According to law enforcement sources, bosses at the Carlyle refused the hefty discount, so the embattled pair instead stayed at a friend’s house on the Upper East Side.

But when the paparazzi began following them Tuesday night from the Ziegfeld Theater — in what their spokesperson claimed was a “relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours” — the duo didn’t want to lead the photographers back to their friend’s home and reveal where they were staying.

Photo Company Gives Harry And Meghan The Most American Response Ever To Their Demand For Pictures

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly failed to obtain images from Tuesday’s “near catastrophic” paparazzi incident from photo agency Backgrid.

The legal team representing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex demanded that Backgrid “immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films” of the events in New York, according to TMZ.

Backgrid clearly felt the former royals were misinformed about the American way of handling such situations, and gave them a nudge in the right direction.

“In America, as I’m sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it: Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do,” Backgrid wrote in a letter to Harry and Markle, per TMZ.

https://twitter.com/jomilleweb/status/1658932841424756738

There is no legal basis for the demand-letter, yet it was reportedly sent in hopes Backgrid would willingly comply. The company didn’t hold back when responding to the demands set forth by Markle and Harry’s lawyers.

“Perhaps you should sit down with your client and advise them that his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago,” they wrote.

“We stand by our founding fathers,” Backgrid wrote, in defiance of their demands exactly how the Founders would’ve wanted.

Terrified Paparazzi Photographer Starting To Think This Meghan Markle Girl Is Stalking Him

https://babylonbee.com/news/terrified-paparazzi-photographer-starting-to-think-this-meghan-markle-girl-is-stalking-him

NEW YORK, NY — A terrified paparazzi photographer is asking for privacy following an altercation with the Duchess of Sussex in downtown NYC this week.

Eddie Duarte, a freelance celebrity photographer, says he's beginning to suspect Meghan Markle is stalking him after he noticed the defunct royal following him while he was trying to have dinner with his family.

"I just looked over and there she was, hiding behind a bush," Duarte told reporters. "What was really strange was, when I saw her, she immediately held up a sign with flashing lights that said ‘I'm Meghan Markle! I'm oppressed!' It was weird."

 Meghan Markle, Prince Harry personally decided to parade past photographers before ‘chase’

By Sara Nathan

As the couple moved across the sidewalk, Prince Harry's expression changed.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle personally decided to walk in front of the group of photographers outside the Ziegfeld Ballroom on Tuesday night — who they later blamed for an allegedly “near-catastrophic car chase.”

The couple’s decision was made despite their security being led by a former member of Barack Obama’s Secret Service detail known as “the king of the back exits” for his ability to quietly get celebrities out of high-profile situations.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were accompanied by Chris Sanchez, a renowned ex-Secret Serviceman, as they left the Ziegfeld Ballroom on Tuesday night.

Sanchez was with the Sussexes as they jumped from a blacked-out SUV into a yellow taxi while trying to escape from the photographers who were trying to follow them back to a friend’s home.

A source close to the Sussexes told us the couple decided to walk out the back of the ballroom around 10 p.m. because they wanted to give waiting photographers a shot of them.

 Report emerges of Prince Harry’s swanky hotel room ‘set aside’ away from Meghan Markle as reps deny rumors
By Jack Hobbs   
May 21, 2023 1:04pm

It’s a “Spare” BNB.

A new report emerged Saturday that Prince Harry allegedly has room at the San Vicente Bungalows “set aside” for him to get away from his wife Meghan Markle, 41, and kids Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 1, says The Sun.

A rep for the royal later debunked the rumor stating “This is not true.”

The source told the outlet that the room, which is close to the royal’s $15 million Montecito home, was viewed as “an escape place” by the 38-year-old prince.

Reports of the alleged room appeared after the couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary last week and failed to post any photos of the event.

The Post reached out to San Vicente Bungalows for comment.

A spokesperson for Archewell — Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s non-profit organization — denied the existence of the room.

San Vicente Bungalows is an exclusive members-only hotel in West Hollywood with strict privacy rules that state guests are not allowed to take pictures inside the establishment and all phone cameras must be covered at all times.

Prince Harry’s rep debunks report claiming he has private hotel without Meghan Markle

Prince Harry does not have a hotel room that he allegedly uses to escape from wife Meghan Markle, despite a new report claiming otherwise.

A rep for the Duke of Sussex debunked the rumor on Sunday, telling Page Six, “This is not true.”

Sources claimed to The Sun Saturday that Harry, 38, has a private room “set aside” in a luxury hotel near his and Markle’s Montecito, Calif., home for when he needs alone time.

The outlet further claimed that Harry — who shares son Archie, 4, and daughter Lilibet, 1, with wife Meghan, 41 — would also allegedly run to his “escape place” at San Vicente Bungalows, a private members club in Los Angeles with strict rules to protect its guests.

Fans have found a new appreciation for Prince William and his unmistakable bald head.

The Prince of Wales, 40, got social media hot and bothered on Sunday when he was spotted rowing with the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy.

He joined the crew of the HMS Oardacious in Buckinghamshire, UK, in honor of Mental Health Week.

The royals posted a clip on their official Instagram account showing William rocking black shades, shorts and a blue sweater as he ferociously paddled a boat.

People nearly fell over the Duke of Cambridge’s appearance, with one commenter swooning: “Ah yes His Royal Hotness does it again!”

Prince Harry loses legal challenge to pay for police protection in UK

By Snejana Farberov
May 23, 2023

Prince Harry on Tuesday lost a legal bid to challenge the British government’s decision barring him from paying for police protection during his visits to the UK.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, and his wife, Meghan Markle, 41, were stripped of taxpayer-funded police protection after they stepped back from being “working royals” and moved to the US in 2020.

Harry’s lawyers had sought a judicial review of the government’s refusal of his offer to hire police officers as his private security detail. But London’s High Court ruled Tuesday to deny the review.

The decision to remove publicly funded security was made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as RAVEC.

Last week, Prince Harry’s lawyers argued during a one-day hearing that RAVEC did not have the authority to reject his offer to pay police for security — and even if it did, it was wrong not to consider an exception, or hear his challenge.

Yes.  However, what they were apparently trying to do was to Shanghai the UK police - the government security - into providing them with personal security at their own expense.  The UK police were not in the mood to act as personal security to the ginger grifter and his bride, so they said no, regardless of who paid for it.

Prince Harry has ‘finally woken up to the truth’ about Meghan, royal expert says

By Nika Shakhnazarova
May 27, 2023

Prince Harry has “finally woken up to the truth” about his wife Meghan Markle, according to the late Princess Diana’s former butler.

Paul Burrell, who worked for Diana for over 10 years until her sudden death in 1997, has sensationally claimed that the Duke of Sussex is only staying in the marriage so that he can see his two children, Archie and Lilibet, grow up.

“Am I the only person in the UK that is thinking, has Harry finally woken up to the truth? Has he finally seen the truth of what his wife is doing and that he’s been brainwashed and mesmerized by her beauty or something? Because we all know that but he doesn’t seem to see it,” Burrell said on GB News Friday.

Burrell, 64, then echoed King Charles’ former butler Grant Harrold’s recent prediction, saying he believes that the exiled royal will soon return to home soil for good.

Princess Anne has soft spot for Prince Harry, but even she is furious: royal expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
May 30, 2023

Even as Prince Harry’s last royal lifeline, Princess Anne has been left “furious” by his recent antics, according to a royal expert.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, unleashed a series of protocol-shattering revelations about his family in January with the release of his bombshell memoir, “Spare.”

The book was closely followed by a slew of high-publicity projects, including a controversial Netflix documentary and several high-profile sit-down interviews.

And while the Princess Royal has typically had Harry’s back in the past due to a “soft spot” for her nephew, it is now claimed that even she has had enough.

“Princess Anne is is a very straight-down-the-line and blunt sort of person,” royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! Magazine. “She says what she thinks, she doesn’t pretend anything. She is probably like her late mother as Queen Elizabeth could always compartmentalize everything she was told.”

Britain's society, that prides itself on 'keeping a stiff upper lip', has little tolerance for Harry's pity party.

Things don't go well for Royals when they marry American divorcees.

 Prince Harry wanted to leave royal family before marrying Meghan Markle: author
By Samantha Ibrahim   
May 30, 2023 9:32am

Prince Harry seemed to be itching to leave the royal family even before he married Meghan Markle.

In a resurfaced 2017 interview with author Angela Levin, the Duke of Sussex, 38, claimed he “wanted out” of royal life.

The “Harry: A Biography of a Prince” writer had spoken to him about his desire for an “ordinary life” and she penned his thoughts for her Daily Mail column at the time.

“I spent many years kicking my heels and I didn’t want to grow up,” Harry told the journalist.

“I felt I wanted out but then decided to stay in and work out a role for myself,” he added.

The now-father of two went on to say how he is “determined to have a relatively normal life” and hoped that he would be lucky enough to have children in the future.

He then recounted what it was like to walk with his brother Prince William behind their mother Princess Diana’s coffin at her 1997 funeral when they were barely teens.

“I don’t think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. It certainly wouldn’t happen today,” he recalled.

 Feds to appear in court over Prince Harry’s visa after drug use admissions
By Snejana Farberov   
May 31, 2023 8:26am

The US government will appear in court next week to answer questions about Prince Harry’s visa application after a conservative think tank demanded that it be unsealed, given his admitted drug use.

The Department of Homeland Security will face off on June 6 against the Heritage Foundation, which filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit earlier this month to compel the agency to release the Duke of Sussex’s immigration records, arguing that they are of “immense public interest.”

So far, the US government has refused to make the 38-year-old royal’s visa application public.

Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, tweeted Tuesday that the hearing will be in DC federal court and open to the press.

Gardiner touted the upcoming hearing — likely the first of many to come — as a “very significant development.”

“It significantly raises the stakes here,” he told the Telegraph. “I think that so far the Biden administration has been stonewalling the freedom.”

Any foreign national seeking to obtain a US visa or permanent resident status is required to answer questions about their past drug use.

Under US immigration law, a visa applicant who is “determined to be a drug abuser” is deemed “inadmissible” — although immigration officials are permitted to make exceptions.

Harry, Meghan Markle to ‘stop writing books, documentaries’ as there’s ‘nothing left to say’: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova
June 1, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have “nothing left to say.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to stop publishing tell-alls, engaging in sit-down interviews, and taking part in large-scale documentaries in a shocking U-turn, according to a report.

“That period of their life is over — as there is nothing left to say,” a source told The Sun of the exiled couple’s plan to step away from the limelight.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sensationally stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2021 — a decision that was followed by a permanent move to the US amid their ongoing quest for “privacy.”

Their move sparked several high-publicity projects such as their six-part Netflix documentary, their bombshell sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey, and Harry’s protocol-shattering memoir, “Spare.”

The Princess of Wales mastered elegant party chic in her dazzling gold ballgown and tiara as she attended the wedding reception of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Princess Rajwa.

Kate, 41, wore a show-stopping Jenny Packham gold 'Georgia' gown costing approximately £5,000, which was embellished with sequins. She has previously worn the same design in green to attend the Royal Variety Awards in London.

Last night Kate paired the stunning ballgown with a Prada clutch bag, the Lover's Knot Tiara, and her Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order sash.

As she joined the Prince of Wales, 40, to attend the wedding reception at the Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman, Jordan (where she lived for three years as a child), the royal couple were also joined by Princess Beatrice, 34, who was wearing a champagne embellished Reem Acra gown, and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 39.

The UK royals dazzled in their evening outfits, with Prince William and Edo looking sharp in suits as they arrived to greet the newlyweds as well as Queen Rania and King Abdullah.

Prince Harry was accused of wasting court time Monday after he failed to turn up at London’s High Court, as ordered by the judge, because he was celebrating his daughter Princess Lilibet’s birthday in California on Sunday.

With Prince Harry to Testify in Hacking Case, Royals Prepare to Cringe


Quote


Prince Harry’s bitter, yearslong feud with Britain’s tabloid press will come to a head this week. He is scheduled to take the stand on Tuesday in a London courtroom for a lawsuit against the Mirror newspaper group on charges that it hacked his cellphone more than a decade ago.

For the younger son of King Charles III to appear on the witness stand is a milestone for the House of Windsor — he is the first senior royal to be cross-examined in a legal case since the 19th century — and it is not one his family is likely to relish.

Federal court to hear challenge over Prince Harry’s US visa following drug use admission

(KTLA) – Could Prince Harry have his U.S. visa revoked? A federal court hearing is coming up to decide that.

The Heritage Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to see if rules were followed in granting the Duke of Sussex his visa. The Heritage Foundation is a D.C.-based conservative think tank.

The move comes after Harry revealed in his memoir “Spare” that he had used drugs at one time.

 Prince Harry admits he no longer believes ‘Spare’ passage is true
By Olivia Land   
June 6, 2023 9:44am

Prince Harry testified Tuesday that a passage in his bombshell memoir about a school friend selling a story about him to the tabloids was based on a shaky “assumption” — admitting that he no longer believes his own writing to be true.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, told the London court that he initially believed that a leaked story about his classmates at Eton College shaving his head as a joke over 20 years ago got into the tabloids thanks to a loose-lipped pal, according to the Telegraph.

“As a kid at school, I could never have imagined how they got wind of that story so I made the assumption [that a friend leaked it],” Harry explained of his version of events in “Spare,” which was published in January.

“Many years later, it seems that wasn’t the case,” he admitted.

Harry, who is testifying this week as part of his lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers, which he accuses of using unethical methods to obtain information about him, added that press scrutiny often had a negative impact on his friendships.

Princess Diana’s butler demands apology from Prince Harry over ‘defamatory’ testimony

By Nika Shakhnazarova
June 7, 2023

Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell demanded an apology from Prince Harry after the exiled royal testified Tuesday that he had once accused him of selling his mother’s possessions and call him a “two-faced s–t”.

Burrell, who worked for Diana for more than a decade before her 1997 death, called on Harry, 38, to fess up to “defamatory” statements made about him in London’s High Court Tuesday amid his legal gripe with Mirror Group Newspapers.

While on the stand, the Duke of Sussex admitted to calling Burrell the epithet and labeling him “attention-seeking and self-interested” in a 2003 voicemail to his brother Prince William that was reported on by The People.

In a sworn statement to the court, Harry said he and William, 40, “had very strong feelings about how indiscreet Paul had proven to be with the way he had sold our mother’s possessions and how he had given numerous interviews about her.”

Now Burrell — who has been frequently quoted in bombastic interviews about the late princess and the royal family — has demanded Harry to “stop” his claims as he faces a second day of testimony in connection with his lawsuit against the UK newspaper conglomerate.

Prince Harry’s UK court battle: Royal feared being ‘ousted’ over ‘damaging' rumor that James Hewitt is his dad
The Duke of Sussex has returned for his second day of cross-examination at London's High Court. He is suing Mirror Group Newspapers for unlawful information gathering.
By Stephanie Nolasco | Fox News

 Prince Harry admitted that a longtime tabloid rumor speculating that King Charles III was not his biological father was "damaging" to him over the years.

The Duke of Sussex is suing the publisher of the Daily Mirror for allegedly using unlawful techniques "on an industrial scale" to score front-page scoops on his life. On Tuesday, the British royal became the first senior member to testify in more than a century. The 38-year-old returned to London's High Court on Wednesday for a second day of cross-examination.

The case against Mirror Group is the first of the prince’s several lawsuits against the media to go to trial. It is one of three publishers he alleged unlawfully snooped on him for scoops on the royal family.

In a written statement released on Tuesday, the 38-year-old cited the 2002 article "Plot to Rob the DNA of Harry," which speculated that the royal was the child of the late Princess Diana and her riding instructor James Hewitt.

Prince Harry ‘would be welcome back into royal family without Meghan’: royal expert

Prince Harry would be welcome back into the royal family — but only without his wife, Meghan Markle, according to a royal expert.

Royal commentator Jennie Bond believes that if the Duke of Sussex were ever to return to home soil, his family would take him in despite the ongoing feud within the Firm.

“I think that Harry, without Meghan, would be forgiven and welcomed back into the royal fold in the fullness of time,” Bond told OK! magazine.

Despite that, Bond notes that the notion is “still unlikely at the moment.”

“I think there is still enough goodwill towards Harry, well, to the old Harry that we all remember,” she told the outlet. “He could recoup the ground he’s lost and in time and be welcomed back. But I don’t think it’s anywhere on the horizon.”

King Charles is ‘sad, bewildered’ and frustrated by Prince Harry’s actions: palace insider

By Jesse O’Neill   
June 11, 2023

King Charles III was said to be “sad and bewildered” by the legal crusade his son Prince Harry launched against a British newspaper group and his continued attacks on the UK’s institutions.

The estranged Duke of Sussex is embroiled in a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers, accusing the conglomerate of using illegal phone hacking to publish dozens of stories about him between 1996 and 2011 that caused him “distress.”

His 55-page witness statement released last week included his opinion that the state of the press and government in England was “at rock bottom,” which violates the constitutional requirement for the royal family to be “above politics,” according to The Sunday Times.

A source close to the palace told the paper that Harry’s rhetoric and continued accusations against his royal kin had continued to bother the newly coronated monarch.

“The King brings Harry up every time I see him. I don’t think we’ve moved past sad and bewildered, but there’s a bit more frustration at his behavior because it just keeps going,” the source reportedly said.

 Prince Harry scores victory in fight over whether he admitted drug use on immigration papers
By Stephanie Pagones   
June 14, 2023 3:16pm

The Department of Homeland Security has offically denied a think tank’s request to release immigration documents for Prince Harry to find out whether he declared his drug use to officials before coming to live in the US.

Harry’s revelations of taking psychedelic mushrooms, cocaine and marijuana were detailed in his self-serving tome, “Spare,” published in January. Admissions of drug abuse can be a serious hurdle for non-Americans who want to be admitted to the country.

The US Department of Homeland Security notified the Heritage Project of its response Tuesday, citing privacy rules in rejecting the request in an emailed letter.

“To the extent records exist, this office does not find a public interest in disclosure sufficient to override the subject’s privacy interests,” DHS senior director Jimmy Wolfrey wrote in the letter obtained by The Post.

Nile Gardiner, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, said the DHS response “shows an appalling lack of transparency by the Biden Administration” and vowed the battle will continue in court.

“The Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to stonewall the Heritage Foundation’s Freedom of Information request are unacceptable, and we will be contesting their position,” Gardiner said.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle split from Spotify after podcast not renewed for second season — doing just one cost full $20M deal

By Erin Keller
June 15, 2023

Meghan Markle’s “Archetypes” Spotify podcast will not be renewed for a second season, The Post can confirm.

A source close to the situation told The Post on Thursday that the Archewell media company launched by Prince Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, didn’t produce enough content to receive the full payout of the roughly $20 million deal the couple signed in 2020.

The news comes after struggling Spotify announced this month it will cut 200 jobs as it reimagines its approach to podcasting.

In a joint statement to The Post, Spotify and Archewell Audio said they have “mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.”

“Meghan is continuing to develop more content for the Archetypes audience on another platform,” an Archewell Productions spokeswoman added to The Wall Street Journal.

Meghan and Harry ‘ignored’ by royals, snubbed ahead of Trooping the Colour ceremony

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are being given the cold shoulder by the royal family ahead of King Charles’ historic ceremony Saturday, according to a report.

The monarch, who was formally crowned alongside his wife Queen Camilla last month, did not invite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to his Trooping the Colour procession, also known as his birthday parade.

“Post-coronation they are merely ignoring him and Meghan,” a source told the Spectator.

It emerged Monday that the exiled royals weren’t asked to attend the festivities.

“I’m afraid it’s a reflection of the state of relations at the moment,” a source told Daily Mail columnist Richard Eden.

Bill Simmons calls Prince Harry, Meghan Markle ‘f–king grifters’ after Spotify split

By Andrew Crane
June 16, 2023

Bill Simmons has shared plenty of stories as a sportswriter and podcaster, but apparently “one of my best” remains untold — and involves a tie to the royal family.

In an episode of “The Bills Simmons Podcast” released Friday, the titular host revealed that he once met with Prince Harry to discuss podcast ideas and expressed frustration over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell media company and “Archetypes” podcast that won’t be renewed for a second season — calling them “f–king grifters” for an approximately $20 million deal that resulted in 12 podcast episodes, according to The Big Lead.

“I wish I had been involved in the ‘Megan and Harry leave Spotify’ negotiation,” Simmons, the founder of The Ringer and the head of Spotify’s global sports strategy, said. “… That’s a podcast we should’ve launched with them. I gotta get drunk one night and tell the story of this Zoom I had with Harry to try to help him with a podcast idea. It’s one of my best stories.”

The Post’s Erin Keller confirmed Thursday that the inaugural season of “Archetypes” wouldn’t be followed by a second, though Spotify and Archewell Audio said that everyone “mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.”

Prince Louis delighted royal fans once again today as he pulled faces at his siblings and grumpily covered his ears while celebrating Trooping the Colour - at one point covering his nose making it appear as though he'd smelt something unpleasant.

The five-year-old was on fine form as he travelled to Horse Guards Parade in a carriage with Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, eight, on Saturday.

They were accompanied by the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla, but that didn't stop Louis from getting up to his usual antics at the King's Birthday Parade.

In one moment, the youngest Wales child covered his nose and mouth in what is thought to be disgust, after he caught a whiff of horse poo.

A photo of the unexpected moment shows the five-year-old clasping his nose with one of his hands.

Prince Louis delighted royal fans once again today as he pulled faces at his siblings and grumpily covered his ears while celebrating Trooping the Colour - at one point covering his nose making it appear as though he'd smelt something unpleasant.

The five-year-old was on fine form as he travelled to Horse Guards Parade in a carriage with Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, eight, on Saturday.

They were accompanied by the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla, but that didn't stop Louis from getting up to his usual antics at the King's Birthday Parade.

 Meghan Markle rumored to be signing deal with Dior in bid to ‘re-invent’ herself: report
By Jane Herz   
June 18, 2023 11:01am

It’s a brand deal that could earn her a lot of royalties.

Meghan Markle, 41, could soon be making a splash in the high-fashion world, as a new report claimed she might be in the process of penning a deal with Dior in a bid from her talent agency, William Morris Endeavor, to “re-invent” the Duchess.

In a new column in The Mail on Sunday written by author Caroline Graham, an unnamed Beverly Hills socialite alleged that Markle is “all anyone is talking about.”

“There have been rumors for weeks that she’s about to sign a deal with Dior which has put the gossip mill into overdrive,” the source claimed. “If she pulls that off, then no one will remember that her silly little podcast got cancelled after one season.”

The Post reached out to Markle’s reps for further comment.

This news comes just a few days after it was announced that the couple would be splitting from Spotify after Markle’s podcast, “Archetypes,” was not renewed for a second season.

Prince Andrew is set to watch on from the sidelines for a second year running as his fellow Knights of the Garter parade through the grounds of Windsor Castle today.

Though the Duke was permitted to wear his Garter robes at the Coronation last month, the King has deemed the colourful procession a step too far for the chequered past prince.  ...

 Meghan Markle faked podcast interviews, her voice added later: sources
By Brooke Steinberg   
June 19, 2023 1:56pm

Just after Spotify’s breakup with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a new report alleges that Markle’s interviews for her “Archetypes” podcast were not conducted by her.

Podnews reported that some of the show’s interviews were done by members of the duchess’ staff — and her voice asking the questions were clipped in later.

The Post has reached out to representatives for Markle and Archewell Audio for comment.

The revelations come shortly after Spotify and Archewell said in a joint statement to The Post that they have “mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.”

A source previously told The Post that the Archewell media company launched by Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, didn’t produce enough content to receive the full payout of the $20 million deal they agreed to in 2020.

However, “Meghan is continuing to develop more content for the ‘Archetypes’ audience on another platform,” an Archewell Productions spokeswoman told the Wall Street Journal.

Sportswriter and podcaster Bill Simmons even slammed the couple in the wake of the fractured deal, saying he once met with Prince Harry about podcast ideas and calling the pair “f–king grifters” in Friday’s episode of his eponymous podcast.

Meghan Markle ‘modeling’ clip resurfaces amid axed Dior and Spotify deals

By Samantha Ibrahim
June 20, 2023

From the Hollywood soundstage to the palace spotlight.

Meghan Markle flexed her modeling skills while acting in the 2015 film “Anti-Social.”

In a resurfaced clip from the independent crime flick shared on Reddit, the former actress, 41, swayed her hips for a perfume ad.

The film snippet featured Markle rocking a red dress as she danced around a set and posed for photos.

She gave a pout to the camera in the video as she held onto a lightbulb-shaped perfume bottle.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not attend this year’s Royal Ascot — the fancy horse race that’s one of the highlights of England’s social season — but their names were apparently on everyone’s lips.

And not in a good way.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla presided over the horsey spectacle that was known as one of Queen Elizabeth II’s most beloved events.

A source told Page Six, “The gossip in the royal enclosure was how happy everyone was that Meghan and Harry weren’t here.”

Prince Andrew may have kept in touch with Jeffrey Epstein months after he claims they cut ties

By Lee Brown
June 22, 2023

Disgraced Prince Andrew appears to have kept in touch with late pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein — even after he claimed to have flown to Manhattan just to dump him.

The younger son of King Charles III spent large chunks of his disastrous 2019 interview with the BBC justifying his four-day stay at Epstein’s mansion in December 2010 as a brave decision to stop seeing the shady multimillionaire who’d been released from jail months earlier for having sex with underage girls.

“I took the decision that I had to show leadership and I had to go and see him and I had to tell him, ‘That’s it,'” Andrew said, decrying his only mistake as his “tendency to be too honorable.”

He claimed that photos of them walking through Central Park were taken at the very moment he was telling the pervert he “didn’t “think it was appropriate” to stay friends.

“And to this day, I never had any contact with him,” he firmly told “Newsnight” in the sitdown in 2019, months after Epstein killed himself in prison while awaiting further serious child-sex charges.

Meghan Markle is ‘not a great’ talent, UTA CEO says after Spotify podcast goes bust

By Leah Bitsky
June 26, 2023

The CEO of United Talent Agency blasted Meghan Markle as untalented after Spotify put the kibosh on the Duchess of Sussex’s podcast.

“Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent,” Jeremy Zimmer told Semafor at the 2023 Cannes Lions advertising festival last week.

“And, you know, just because you’re famous doesn’t make you great at something,” he added.

Zimmer, who co-founded UTA in 1991, has represented major stars throughout his career including Mariah Carey, Bryan Cranston, DJ Khaled, Chelsea Handler and Kevin Hart.

Netflix reveals fate of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle deal after Spotify dumps couple

By Nicki Cox
June 27, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s deal with Spotify may be coming to an end but their partnership with Netflix is far from over.

A spokesperson for Netflix told People on Tuesday that the pair’s content creation company, Archewell Productions, is currently working on several projects with the streaming service.

“We value our partnership with Archewell Productions,” they told the outlet. “‘Harry & Meghan’ was Netflix’s biggest documentary debut ever, and we’ll continue to work together on a number of projects, including the upcoming documentary series ‘Heart of Invictus.'”

While “Harry & Meghan” gave insight into the pair’s rocky relationship with the rest of the royal family, “Heart of Invictus” follows a group of athletes that competed in Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, a competition for wounded service personnel.

A video clip from Lester’s Youtube account was highlighted in a montage where it was alleged 70 percent of 114,000 hateful posts directed at the couple came from 83 social media accounts.

She has since called the claims “a festival of bulls–t” in a YouTube video shared with fans Tuesday.

“Believe me when I say I’m pursuing every opportunity to nail their ass to the wall for this,” said Lester, who boasts over 346,000 subscribers on the platform.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been accused of ripping off their latest idea for a Netflix project.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are working on a new project for Netflix titled Bad Manners.

The couple are looking to bounce back after Spotify dropped them earlier this month.

The Sussexes are working on a new show inspired by Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. Harry and Meghan are developing the show based on a feminist version of Miss Havisham from Dickens' famous novel according to the Wall Street Journal. However, the Sussexes' "feminist" prequel is almost identical to an adaptation made a decade ago, it has been claimed.  ...

Meghan and Harry 'believe they have been "repeatedly unlucky" and blame Covid, economic woes, the death of the Queen and the failing of Prince Philip's health for their faltering attempts to launch post-royal careers'

By Tom Pyman and Alison Boshoff

Published: 06:36 EDT, 1 July 2023 | Updated: 07:27 EDT, 1 July 2023

 
Meghan and Harry believe they have been 'repeatedly unlucky' and blame Covid, economic woes, the death of the Queen and the decline in Price Philip's health for their faltering attempts to launch post-royal careers, sources say.

The Duke and Duchess only have one major deal left since Megxit - the $100million contract signed with streaming giant Netflix - after they were embarrassingly ditched by Spotify last month.

Netflix is also reportedly planning not to renew their deal with the Sussexes when it expires in 2025.

However, the couple are said to be convinced that their apparent downfall has nothing to do with them, and instead feel they have been 'repeatedly unlucky' with other world events.

Attempts to launch themselves as global do-gooders, free to earn money once they had relieved themselves of royal duties, were severely impacted by the Covid pandemic, which followed within months of their Megxit announcement in January 2020.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry officially vacate Frogmore Cottage after King Charles eviction
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left Frogmore Cottage behind after moving to the U.S. following their royal departure
By Lauryn Overhultz | Fox News

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially vacated Frogmore Cottage years after leaving their senior roles within the royal family.

Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, were asked to vacate the royal abode so that Prince Andrew could reportedly move in. Frogmore Cottage, on the grounds of Windsor Castle west of London, had been intended as the couple’s main residence before they gave up royal duties and moved to Southern California.

The news of the cottage's vacancy was confirmed in the palace's annual Sovereign Grant report released Thursday.

The couple lived in Frogmore Cottage during their time as working royals. The cottage was renovated for $3.2 million, which Harry and Markle repaid in full shortly after finalizing their blockbuster Netflix deal in 2020.

After they left Britain, Prince Harry and Markle said Frogmore Cottage would remain their base when they visited the U.K.

It's unclear where the couple would stay if they were to visit the U.K. now. Prince Harry previously traveled to London in May, without Markle, for his father King Charles' coronation. He also made a trip across the pond in June, from their home in California, to take the stand at London’s High Court for his lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror.

I agree. And I don't even like Harry and Mehgan. That being said, the company I worked for had several upscale rental properties. The people that rented spent a boat load of money in many cases to upgrade to their preference. I never understood it...when they moved it was the property of the rental. Could be the same situation. :shrug:

All I know is what I read,and I read THEY spent the  money.

I DO know that he had/has some kind of pension-thing going from either the Royal Family Trust and/or his Ho  Mom's trust. Maybe both.

Prince Harry may ‘turn his back’ on Meghan Markle’s Hollywood lifestyle: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova
July 7, 2023

Prince Harry may be looking to “turn his back” on Meghan Markle’s star-studded Hollywood lifestyle, according to a report.

The Duke of Sussex made his quest for privacy known ever since he and Markle officially stepped away from royal life in 2020.

And according to the Daily Mail, the exiled royal may now be looking to resume a subdued role following the axing of his wife’s Spotify podcast, “Archetypes.”

“The big question is how long before Harry turns his back on the showbusiness life, for which he is obviously ill-suited and seems entirely uncomfortable with?” Alison Boshoff wrote for the outlet.

Video: King Charles Leads Confused Biden Around at Windsor Castle Ceremony

After a moment’s gesticulation and words exchanged, the King appeared able to get the President moving in the right direction once again.

(https://media.breitbart.com/media/2023/07/GettyImages-1518293428.jpg)

President Joe Biden called in on King Charles III at Windsor Castle on Monday on his way to this week’s NATO summit, being treated to tea and talk on climate change.

The U.S. leader was met with a parade and band at Windsor Castle on Monday afternoon, the 950-year-old fortress which is a British Royal residence and the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. The Band of the Welsh Guards played the Star Spangled Banner and Biden inspected the troops with King Charles III.

Biden appeared transfixed for a moment when he received a traditional sword salute presenting of arms from an officer of the Guards at the end of one of the lines of soldiers in the guard of honour, leaving Britain’s King Charles having to work to regain the President’s attention. Appearing confused, or even consciously ignoring Charles III, Biden seemed to be trying to engage the guardsman in conversation.

After a moment’s gesticulation and spoken remarks, the King appeared able to get the President moving in the right direction once again. In a break of protocol, after being shepherded away, President Biden threw his arm around King Charles’ back.

Harry and Meghan ‘know they’ve gone too far’ in royal attacks: source

By Samantha Ibrahim
July 12, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world in 2020 when they decided to take a step back as “senior members” of the royal family.

Shortly after making the big #Megxit to Montecito, California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a slew of projects where they disdainfully discussed their time in “The Firm.”

Royal expert Tom Bower now claims the former actress, 41, and the Invictus Games founder, 38, “know they’ve probably gone too far” with combative content after their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan” and Harry’s bombshell memoir “Spare.”

“All she’s got is the baggage of the Oprah Winfrey interview and her damnation of the royal family in various successive interviews,” Bower told OK! about Markle. “That’s why she’s been so quiet the whole year. She knows they’ve probably gone too far, and she doesn’t know how to get out of it now.”

I doubt Sparkle Farkel thinks or knows she went to far, those that habitually throw the race card never believe they are at fault for anything, especially when it comes to uppity White folk.

She seemed quite overwhelmed when they went back for the Queen's funeral ... as if she realized that she had really stepped in it by causing so much grief to someone who wass far more loved (as evidenced by the number who went to such great lengths to show their respect) than she will ever be. She had to go out in public in front of an incredibly massive crowd who she knew were aligned with the Queen and therefore despised her and her actions. It was also too late to change the publishing and distribution of Spare, or modify it's contents, so things could only get worse.  They've fouled their own nest with no one but themselves to blame.

 Prince George already knows he will be king — here’s how he found out
By Jane Herz   
July 13, 2023 2:50pm

It’s not easy being king — or a prince in training.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s eldest son, Prince George, 9, is the next in line for the throne after his father.

But at such a young age, is he really aware of his royal duties?

In 2021, royal biographer Robert Lacey wrote in his book “Battle of Brothers” that King George allegedly learned about his future role in the summer of 2020, around his seventh birthday, per the Daily Mail.

And, according to a few palace insiders, the couple is currently “making George aware” of his future duties in “the best way they can” — making sure it’s not “too burdensome.”

“It’s a massive balancing act,” one palace insider recently divulged to People. “William and Kate are doing the right thing, protecting him so he can have as normal a childhood as possible, but he’s also dipping into duties as a future monarch.”

According to the outlet, the parents want to be able to give their kids as much of a normal childhood as possible, which includes “playing outdoors, experimenting in the kitchen and visiting the candy store.”

The source also alleged: “He’s getting firsthand experience of what it’s like to be a royal and a monarch and firsthand experience of being a normal boy.”

 Harry, Meghan are ‘devastated’ by Emmy snub amid run of ‘bad luck’: royal expert
By Samantha Ibrahim   
July 14, 2023 9:36am

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a comeback to Hollywood with their Netflix documentary series, “Harry & Meghan.”

Despite the show bringing in a total of 81.6 million hours watched, the project failed to score any Emmy nominations when they were announced earlier this week.

Royal expert Ingrid Seward recently claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are ‘devastated’ about being left out of the award show nods.

“But of course [the couple] will not show it,” the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine told the Mirror.

She added that the viewership numbers were “obviously not good enough for an Emmy nomination.”

However, the series did emerge victorious by winning a nomination for the Hollywood Critics Awards in the Best Streaming Nonfiction category.

“In the series, Harry and Meghan talk about the royal family as if they were the enemy, while they themselves are trying to save the world,” Seward went on.

“The series is an intimate look at ‘hardships’ they faced in their honey-colored, rose-tinted world,” she said.

“Meghan and Harry will concentrate in this and make it a positive, however irritated they might be not to be in the Emmy nominations,” the “Queen’s Speech” author continued.

She then shared her advice for the former actress, 41, and the Invictus Games founder, 38.

“They are having a run of bad luck in their working life. But ironically as long as they concentrate on delivering personal stuff instead of more serious work, people will be interested,” she said. “They have built a gilded cage of expectation around themselves from which it will be hard to escape.”

Ons Jabeur reveals words of advice from Kate Middleton after consoling hug following crushing Wimbledon final defeat

Kate Middleton asked to give Ons Jabeur a hug after the Tunisian lost the Wimbledon final for a second year in a row.

Jabeur suffered a crushing straight sets defeat to Marketa Vondrousova and cried tears of despair after the match.

The 28-year-old was consoled by the Princess of Wales after she presented her with the runners-up prize and the pair shared a long chat.

"Obviously she was very nice," said Jabeur in her press conference. "She didn't know if she wants to give me a hug or not. I told her hugs are always welcome from me."

When asked what she said, Jabeur added: "Same thing after last year. To encourage me to be strong, to come back and win a Grand Slam, win a Wimbledon." ...

I wonder what the state's law is on assistance animals, in California you are not allowed to question an animals status or ask for documentation and that effectively negates a property owners right to refuse service.

King Charles’ reign is a ‘sandwich filling’ between queen, Prince William: expert

By Jane Herz
July 19, 2023

Forget about his sausage fingers — he’s a “sandwich” now.

Russell Myers, the Daily Mirror’s royal editor, recently revealed that he believes that King Charles’ reign is just acting as a stall for time — a “sandwich” between the late Queen Elizabeth II’s monarchy and the future king William’s.

The topic was brought up on last week’s episode of the “Pod Save the King” podcast, as Myers and the show’s host, Ann Gripper, were discussing Joe Biden’s recent visit to England, where he met with Charles, 74, at Windsor Castle.

Myers mentioned that he was a bit “disappointed” that there was no press conference after the meeting, while Gripper compared it to Biden’s last visit while the queen was still alive.

“But do you think Joe Biden’s a little bit stung as when he was over last time and then he came out and started chitchatting about what him and the queen had been chitchatting about, and that was really not the done thing,” Gripper commented. “Does it feel like it actually is the done thing now that you could chat a bit more freely about what you talked about with Charles?”

Are Meghan and Harry separating?
Reports claim that the couple are ‘taking time apart’ to heal and rebuild their bond
July 19, 2023 | 12:19 pm
Kara Kennedy

After five years of marriage, rumors are swirling that Prince Harry and Meghan are set to part ways. Earlier this week, RadarOnline reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “taking time apart” to heal and rebuild their bond.

“They’re trying to figure out what hit them. Harry doesn’t fit in Meghan’s tacky Tinseltown world,” a source told the outlet, adding that he’s hoping to “find himself.” RadarOnline also claimed that Harry is planning a solo trip to Africa to film a documentary, saying that the prince thinks of the continent as his second home and a place where he feels “most like himself.” Responding to the separation rumors, a source close to the British royal family told The Spectator that it “wasn’t surprising to hear,” and added that “there is little sympathy for Harry among the family, after all he’s done.”

But the Sussexes have hit back at the rumor.  ... Spectator (https://thespectator.com/topic/meghan-markle-prince-harry-separating-rumors-royal-family/?twclid=2-ucbh5l6nla99daqivz324aqd)

@mystery-ak

He can always use family money and maybe even a tad of political influence to buy them back.

And I hope he does. If she gets custody,they will just be handled by hired help and not have a family experience at all,and children NEED family experiences when young to gain empathy.

Prince Harry's memoir Spare 'is the most dumped book of the summer' with up to 100 copies left behind by holidaymakers at resorts in Spain, Greece and Turkey

Spare was the UK's fastest selling non-fiction book since records began in 1998

By LAURENCE DOLLIMORE
20 July 2023

Prince Harry's memoir Spare is the 'most dumped' book by holidaymakers this summer, it was claimed today.

The 416-page diatribe has reportedly been left in rooms, bins and by pools at holiday hotspots across Europe and further afield, including in Spain, Greece and Turkey.

Tour operator On The Beach said it had received 100 left-behind copies of the autobiography from fed-up hotel workers so far this summer, with school holidays only just getting underway.

Prince Harry and Meghan Separate Over Their “Non-Identity”
By
M Dowling -
July 20, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly on a ‘trial separation’ amid nasty fights, financial pressure, and opposing lifestyles. Divorce papers might have been filed.
The scoop about their non-identity damaging their marriage:

As some reports indicate, Meghan allegedly plans to file for divorce and wants sole and full custody of the children. However, that might not be so simple.

According to reports, the royal family operates with a strange custody agreement when its couples have their children, which states that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has full legal custody over the young royals. Royal expert Marlene Koenig told news outlets: “The sovereign has legal custody of the minor grandchildren.”

Koenig continued: “This goes back to King George I [who ruled in the early 1700s], and the law’s never been changed. He did it because he had a very poor relationship with his son, the future King George II, so they passed this law that meant the King was the guardian of his grandchildren.”

However, they’re living in America, and that doesn’t fly here. Also, she’s ruthless and will start making up stories about Harry and the Royal family. Harry should have listened to Queen Elizabeth, who, along with Prince William, tried to convince him not to marry her.

Queen Elizabeth II allegedly told people she was sorry her grandson Harry met Meghan Markle. She called Meghan “evil” and their courtship a “complete catastrophe.”

Kate Middleton is ‘tougher’ than people think, playing the ‘long game’: expert

By Nicki Gostin
July 22, 2023

Kate Middleton is one tough cookie.

Royal expert Valentine Low exclusively told Page Six in a recent interview that the royal, 41, is “tougher” than she lets on.

“Interestingly, behind the scenes, she’s a lot more steely, a lot tougher than we give her credit,” he said.

“She’s this nice-looking woman, dresses nicely, smiles nicely, adopts sort of fairly uncontroversial charities,” the author explained.

“You know, they think she’s slightly bland.”

Low said one example of the Princess of Wales’ steeliness occurred after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in March 2021.

In the candid sit-down, the “Suits” alum, also 41, shared that she had harbored suicidal thoughts during her brief stint as a working royal. The Duke of Sussex, 38, also implied that the monarchy had become jealous of Markle after seeing how popular she was on the couple’s first tour to Australia.

King Charles reportedly getting a raise thanks to the ‘golden ratchet’ clause

By Dana Kennedy   
July 22, 2023

King Charles III and the rest of the royal family are set to get a raise.

Despite some changes in how the money paid to the the royals by the UK government is calculated, the royals’ take will likely jump “significantly” in the years to come, CNBC reported, citing a review of the annual Sovereign Grant.

For 2022-2023, the grant was worth about $96 million, the same it was for the previous year.

The amount will remain steady for 2024-2025, but is expected to rise after that, the BBC reported.

The eye-popping amounts, which do not account for all of the royals’ income, are determined with a formula based on the percentage of the profits from the Crown Estate.

That’s the name for the vast collection of hereditary assets that belong to the monarch, from Buckingham Palace in London to Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where Queen Elizabeth II died last year, and multiple other estates along with extensive portions of the coastline and seabed of Britain, Wales and Northern Ireland.

All told, the portfolio is worth $20.5 billion.

Six new offshore wind farms, worth about $1.1 billion, generated “substantial additional income” and helped drive up the total value of the estate in recent years.

The profits from the estate, which is only the king’s property during his reign but not considered private property, go to the nation’s treasury, which doles out the funds for the Sovereign Grant.

 Hollywood royalty avoiding Harry and Meghan to stay in William and Kate’s good graces: report
By Isabel Vincent   
July 22, 2023 3:43pm

Snitches don’t make friends in Tinseltown, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are finding out.

Celebrities, including their high-profile neighbors Steven Spielberg, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Rob Lowe, are staying away from the exiled royals in fear that they will spill their secrets — and alienate them from Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The Montecito-based couple were not even invited to Oprah Winfrey’s birthday party this year, despite her bombshell interview with the Sussexes in March 2021, according to NewsNation.

“Everyone’s got a movie to sell and a Broadway play they want to debut on screen in London or [London’s] West End and they know that Prince William and Kate — who are the biggest [celebrity] gets over there won’t show if they think someone is friends with Harry and Meghan,” the outlet’s senior story producer Paula Froelich said Friday.

“My sources tell me it’s all about the money,” she added. “And the big power players in Hollywood aren’t jeopardizing their business for Harry and Meghan.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who broke away from the royal family in 2020, were also snubbed by the White House when they were denied a flight on Air Force One when they tried to hitch a ride back to the US after Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral in September.

The White House reportedly worried that escorting the estranged royals with President Biden and first lady Jill Biden would cause a “commotion” and strain relations with Britain.

Hollywood celebrities also worried about the couple spilling their secrets, Froelich said.

“What if they dish on what’s in the refrigerator as well?” she said.

@sneakypete I believe she married him because of Royalty and thought she was going to ascertain all of what she thought she was going to be 'entitled' to.  Granted Harry wasn't hurting for money.  However, she realized what Harry's 'ranking' in the family was after she had their first child and found out the Harry would never be King and her children were even further down the line of Royalty.  She then started with the whole racist rant hoping that they would change decades of tradition just for her.  She found out that playing the race card and them going on 'Oprah' didn't exactly work.  Just my opinion.

Royal family warned to ‘keep Prince George away from Prince Harry’

By Nika Shakhnazarova
July 25, 2023

Prince William and Princess Catherine have been strongly advised to keep their eldest son, Prince George, away from his uncle, Prince Harry.

The Duke of Sussex’s former biographer, Angela Levin, made the stern warning to the royals in a desperate bid to keep George, the second in line to the throne, from walking a similar path to Harry.

“Kate and William are there to help him [George],” Levin told OK magazine. “But he needs to be kept away from Harry’s negative influence.”

“George doesn’t have a dysfunctional family, unlike William and Harry growing up, so he should fare better. Kate and William are there to help him. But he needs to be kept away from Harry’s negative influence,” she added.

In his protocol-shattering bombshell memoir “Spare,” Harry detailed his experience of growing up in the palace as well as his fears about Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis growing up as “spares” to George.

 Ritzy Santa Barbara suburb panicked over Harry and Meghan rumors
By Jeanette Settembre and
Alix Breeden   
July 25, 2023 5:32pm

 When locals in the secluded Santa Barbara, California, enclave of Hope Ranch heard that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might be keen on leaving nearby Montecito to buy a home in the exclusive suburb, they didn’t roll out the welcome mat.

A Hope Ranch realtor told The Post that, nine months after the rumors were reported by the Santa Barbara News-Press, their office continues to field calls from concerned longtime residents who fear the couple and their security team will disturb the peace in the quiet community where houses go for as much as $22.5 million and seclusion is the ultimate amenity — just three roads are public.

“The people that made the calls to me don’t want change and they don’t want all the hoopla,” the realtor, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Post.

“People are not happy, that’s the word around town. They want them to stay in Montecito and not be drawing that kind of attention to Hope Ranch,” another realtor and Santa Barbara native confirmed to The Post.

Neighbors swear they’ve seen Markle on the town’s private beach.

Locals are worried” that Harry and Meghan coming to town could turn their community into “an extension of Montecito,” the second realtor added of Meghan and Harry’s current celebrity-studded suburb, where A-listers like Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Adam Levine, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston and Ellen DeGeneres have places.

There’s also concern about what Hope Ranch residents have heard from their neighbors in Montecito, where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex purchased a $14.65 million mansion in 2021.

One Montecito shop employee claimed to The Post that Harry and Meghan’s security team had shut down streets and blocked hiking trails.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry risk ‘humiliation’ if they ever decide to return to royal life: expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
July 26, 2023

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry risk “humiliation” if they ever decided to rejoin the royal family in the UK, according to a royal expert.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that the prospect of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returning to the monarchy as working members would be a “bizarre” move considering the damage done.

“This would be one of the most bizarre events in royal history if they did return after all the attacks,” Fitzwilliams said. “It would be a humiliation for Meghan and Harry.”

“The idea that after everything that has happened that Meghan and Harry could just walk back in is beyond extraordinary,” the royal expert added.

The Sussexes shut the door on royal life in 2020 after stepping down as senior working members of the Firm.

Queen Camilla and King Charles hit Sandringham Flower Show in style

By Samantha Ibrahim
July 26, 2023

Queen Camilla and King Charles woke up and smelled the roses — in style.

The royal couple stopped by the Sandringham Flower Show in Sandringham Park, Norfolk, England, on Wednesday by way of a horse-drawn carriage.

Camilla, 76, donned a belted, pleated dress featuring a garden-appropriate green, ivy-leaf pattern, while Charles, 74, sported a dapper tan suit and fedora, a red patterned tie and a complementary pocket square — as well as dark shades for the sunny day.

The former Duchess of Cornwall was spotted sniffing and picking a colorful bouquet of florals, while Charles was seen chatting with a group of onlookers, even chuckling as they spoke.

This year’s event marks the 140th anniversary of the show, which brings more than 20,000 attendees annually to the venue, which is actually part of the royal family’s home where they often spend the Christmas holiday.

King Charles, Prince William ‘massively irritated’ by Harry’s latest court battle: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova
July 28, 2023

King Charles and Prince William are “massively irritated” by the idea of Prince Harry spilling even more details about the royal family’s private life in court, according to a report.

A judge threw out the Duke of Sussex’s phone-hacking case against the Sun’s parent publisher, News Group Newspapers, on Thursday.

While Harry has lost part of his case against the UK newspaper, the court is allowing him to take the Sun to trial over what he alleges were illegal practices to obtain information against him.

And while King Charles accepts that Harry now lives his life as a private citizen, a source close to the royals told the Daily Beast that the monarch is unhappy with the amount of information Harry has divulged in court.

“Everyone in the family completely accepts that Harry is a private citizen and can do what he likes without reference to the family,” the insider told the outlet.

“That doesn’t mean they have to like it. Of course, they are massively irritated by the prospect of more blockbuster Harry trials but they have been expecting it; there is also the defamation case against the [Daily] Mail, don’t forget.”

 King Charles extends invite to Harry, Meghan to annual summer vacation: report
By Nika Shakhnazarova   
July 29, 2023 4:37am

King Charles has kept Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s names on the list of invitees for this year’s royal summer vacation, according to a report.

Each summer, the royal family sets off to Balmoral Castle in Scotland for their annual break.

And despite the Sussexes shutting the door on royal life in 2020, they have not been iced out from family get-togethers in Balmoral, according to the Daily Mail.

“All family members are expected to stay [at Balmoral Castle] at some point over the next few weeks,” Rebecca English writes.

“That is, except the Duke and Duchess of Sussex whose ‘open invitation’ to join family gatherings hasn’t exactly been rescinded, but is certainly not expected to be accepted.”

Tensions had reached an all-time high after Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working members of the Firm.

The decision was followed by a move to Canada, before the pair ultimately settled down in Montecito, California, amid their ongoing quest for “privacy.”

 ‘Furious’ David Beckham reportedly ends friendship with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle
By Brooke Kato   
July 29, 2023 3:24pm

There appears to be a royal rift between these couples.

David and Victoria Beckham, longtime friends of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have allegedly been accused of leaking sources about the Suessexes.

Now, their friendship is over, according to an anonymous insider.

The source told The Mail on Sunday that David is “absolutely bloody furious” after accusations supposedly flew during a tense phone call between the couples.

“Any making up now is so unlikely,” the insider claimed.

The Beckhams were present at the royal pair’s wedding in 2018, and were “very supportive” of Meghan’s arrival in the UK, the source said.

In the wake of their fallout, Meghan has seemingly replaced one Victoria with another: Victoria Jackson, a cosmetics magnate and the couple’s neighbor in Montecito, California.

The Post has reached out to reps for both the Beckhams and the Sussexes for comment.

excerpt:
Quote
The Sussexes’ exclusive inner circle has been dubbed the “Montecito Mafia” by one Hollywood exec, according to the Mail, which is rumored to include Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, photographer Misan Harriman and Meghan’s former “Suits” co-stars Sarah Rafferty and Abigail Spencer.

Longtime activist Gloria Steinem has also been a close friend of the Duchess, presenting the Women of Vision Award to Meghan mere hours before the couple were involved in a supposed “near-catastrophic” car chase in May.

Harry, Meghan not invited to royal gathering marking one year since Queen Elizabeth’s death: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova
August 4, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been snubbed from the Royal Family’s gathering marking one year since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, according to a report.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not received invitations to the intimate event at Balmoral Castle on Sept. 8 — despite being in Europe for the Invictus Games the following day.

The exiled royals, whose rift with the Firm rages on, are set to touchdown in Düsseldorf, Germany just 24 hours after the royals meet in Balmoral.

“There hasn’t been any outreach to them,” a source told The Sun.

The pair’s trip to Germany will mark their first joint European appearance since the late monarch’s funeral on Sept. 19, 2022.

“You can read the room on that as to where things are [between them],” another source told the Daily Mail. “It’s sad, but it is what it is. This is a family as well as an institution.”

Charles, 74, and Camilla, 76, will kickstart their three-week summer vacation on August 21, and will be joined by Prince William, Princess Kate, and their three children.

 Prince Harry, Meghan Markle buy rights to novel mirroring their lives: report
By Jane Herz   
August 6, 2023 8:08pm

After several failed production attempts, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have found themselves yet another Hollywood venture.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have purchased the screen rights to the popular romantic new release “Meet Me at the Lake,” by Carley Fortune, to turn it into a film for Netflix, The Sun reports.

The novel, which spent six weeks on The New York Times bestsellers list since its May release, follows a 30-something woman, whose mother dies in a car crash, and her ensuing love story.

Per Deadline, the Canada-set novel explores themes of “childhood trauma, including losing a parent in a car crash, mental health challenges and post-natal depression.”

The book resembles Harry’s own life — his mother, Princess Diana, died in a Paris car crash in 1997. Harry, 38, and Markle, 42, met in their 30s as well, as Markle filmed “Suits” in Canada.

It’s a deal with Penguin Random House that may have cost nearly $4 million, one unidentified source alleged to The Sun.

The potential new project follows the couple’s 2022 Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” which chronicled their love story and struggles within the royal family, as well as the January release of Harry’s tell-all memoir “Spare.”

According to The Sun’s insider, Fortune’s book especially stood out to the pair.

“The themes of the book gripped the couple, and it was chosen for their first adaptation with Netflix,” the source said.

 Harry and Meghan’s new Hollywood move shows how self-centered they are
By Kirsten Fleming   
August 7, 2023 5:54pm

The world’s biggest navel-gazers have finally hooked a buzzy new project.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have acquired the film rights to the New York Times bestselling novel “Meet Me at the Lake,” by Carley Fortune, which cost a cool $3 million.

They’ll be developing it for Netflix who, back in 2020, inked the couple to a multi-year $100 million deal.

Is this pivot from focusing on themselves into fiction some sort of redemption?

We all knew the juice had been squeezed out of the lemon after “Spare,” the gag-inducing “Harry & Meghan” docu-series and a failed $20 million “Spotify” deal — in which they failed to produce anything beyond Meghan’s podcast ode to her personal grievances, with bonus celebrity guests.

Could this new move be proof that Harry and Meghan, who are in a rebrand effort under the hand of WME honcho Ari Emmanuel, are finally turning the corner after their high-priced, high-ego failures to launch?

Hardly. It simply underscores their narcissism.

Choosing this romantic novel, which mirrors a fair amount of their own biographies, is yet another sign of the couple’s self-centered and boring devotion to the themes that keep them atop the throne of victimhood.

According to Deadline, the book’s plot points include “childhood trauma, including losing a parent in a car crash” — shades of tragic Princess Diana — as well as “mental health challenges and post-natal depression.”

The story, which is about two 30somethings falling in love, also has a broken friendship (hello, Jessica Mulroney, who Markle reportedly dumped “to look woke“) and takes place in and around Toronto, where Markle’s old TV show “Suits” was filmed.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle make peace offering to Prince William in attempt to end feud: report

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are hoping to repair their soured relationship with Prince William by renting an apartment in Kensington Palace, according to a report.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly keen to “make amends” with the Prince and Princess of Wales as the rift between the two rages on.

But despite their alleged gesture, Harry is concerned that the move would make him a “prisoner of the palace,” a royal insider told OK! Magazine.

“He and Meghan are offering to rent an apartment at Kensington Palace and furnish it themselves,” a source told the outlet.

“He hopes that will please William and show that they’re serious about coming back. Harry doesn’t want to become a prisoner of the palace.”

Did Meghan and Harry Offend Kate and William By Using the Name Archie?

https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/a31913836/archie-nickname-prince-george/

If you have any baby-having friends, you'll already know that hell hath no fury like a parent who thinks another parent "stole" their baby name. (Remember in Friends when Monica graciously "gave" Rachel her baby name, Emma, as a gift?) Well, along with all the other issues that led to the painful rift between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's household and Prince William and Kate Middleton's, a new report points out that Kate and Will may have felt snubbed that Meghan and Harry named their son "Archie." The reason? Prince George's nickname had been "Archie"—and this is verified, having been reported well before Archie Harrison was born. ( https://www.bustle.com/p/prince-georges-nickname-is-archie-this-theory-may-explain-why-15903725 )

Let's back up a little. When Meghan was pregnant with Archie Harrison, The Sun reported in January of 2019 that Prince George had told a passer-by that his name was Archie.  The passer-by told The Sun: “I was asked by a police minder not to take a photo of the children, which I didn’t, but George started stroking my dog. Just to be friendly I engaged in a bit of small talk and I asked George what his name was, even though obviously I knew it. To my astonishment he said ‘I’m called Archie’ with a big smile on his face. I don’t know why he calls himself Archie but kids often play with their names and I think it’s lovely.”

Harry and Meghan have never come up with an original idea in their lives. Even their daughter's name, Lilibet Diana, is way to close the Princess Charlotte's full given name, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. It is also said that when Prince Phillip died, QEII asked that nobody refer to her by Lilibet since that was his pet name for her, and that H&M did not ask her permission to use that name.

Why in the world would William and Kate want them back in Kensington? They simply can't be trusted.

The Royal Family 'is distancing itself from Harry and Meghan': After Harry's HRH title was stripped from website, expert warns the Sussexes are seen as 'unpredictable and unreliable' - but 'need royal links for their brand'

    Prince Harry is no longer called His Royal Highness on the Royal Family website

By Chris Matthews and Mark Duell and Rory Tingle

Published: 09:44 EDT, 9 August 2023 | Updated: 13:17 EDT, 9 August 2023

Changes made to the Royal Family website are the latest sign of the institution 'distancing' itself from Harry and Meghan, a royal expert said today.

Biographies of the couple have been moved down the homepage so they now appear towards the bottom alongside the Duke of Kent and Prince Andrew.

Meanwhile, Harry's styling as His Royal Highness has been quietly ditched from the site. 

Under the terms of the 2020 Megxit agreement, the Palace said Harry and Meghan Markle could retain their HRH titles but would not be allowed to use them after stepping down as senior royals.

Even so, parts of the royal website have referred to Harry as HRH for the last three years, seemingly in error. After a series of updates made on Friday there are no longer any references to the Duke as HRH.

King Charles called on to 'release the truth' on UFOs, prepare religious for impact of ET life



Quote


King Charles is under pressure to call on the UK government to release more information about UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial life in order to help prepare for the country's first contact with aliens.

The King, like his late father Prince Philip, has an "interest in UFOs," according to Mark Christopher Lee whose new documentary, "God Versus Aliens," examines the impact the discovery of extraterrestrial beings would have on religion, the UK Mirror reported.

Lee argued that Charles, as the head of the Church of England, "has a duty to prepare the millions of followers of the Church around the world for the impact of disclosure that we are not the only sentient life in the universe."

As an agnostic,it pains  me to  realize that it seems like *I* am the one that has to point this out,but that neither proves nor disproves the existence of a God.

IF there is a God and he/she/whatever has the power to create humankind,why wouldn't he/she/it/whatever also have the power to create other sentient life forms?

Maybe he/she/it/whatever has created thousands of different sentient life-forms over the unknown thousands of years it has been  been in existence?

Prince Harry’s feud with King Charles, Prince William at intervention point: expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
August 10, 2023

Prince Harry’s ongoing rift with his family is said to have reached a boiling point, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex is en route Thursday to Singapore to attend a fundraiser polo match, while his brother Prince William is also headed there — but at a later date.

And according to royal expert and True Royalty TV co-founder Nick Bullen, a heartfelt reunion between the brothers will not be on the cards anytime soon.

“I’m sure everybody managed those diaries to make sure there was no crossover whatsoever,” Bullen told Fox News.

“Harry hasn’t even been going to old friends’ weddings. So, those moments where they might bump into each other aren’t happening, let alone the choreographed moments.”

King Charles gives Prince William command of Harry’s old Army unit in major royal reshuffle

By Nika Shakhnazarova   
August 11, 2023

King Charles has handed over the reins of Prince Harry’s old Army unit to the heir to the throne, Prince William.

The monarch made several high-profile military appointments this week in a major military reshuffle just weeks before the death anniversary of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The Prince of Wales will now head up The Army Air Corps as the Colonel-in-Chief — a military unit previously belonging to his globe-trotting brother, who served as an Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan.

Elsewhere, Kate Middleton also received more responsibility from the King, who appointed three new roles to her — including one that is a sweet nod to her grandfather.

Among the roles given to the Princess of Wales is the Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm.

“I’ve been involved in many charities for most of my life and I get a huge amount of fulfillment giving back to as many people as possible,” he told the crowd. “My life is charity, always has been, always will be.”

“Your warmth, your compassion, your generosity, every single element of the Japanese culture is really unique and very, very special,” the exiled royal added.

“I noticed it my first visit four years ago when I came for the Rugby World Cup. And I would happily live here if you’d have me.”

Why oh why does the press continue to call Princess Catherine Kate Middleton?

Kate Middleton and Prince William Get Special New Titles From King Charles III

Kate Middleton and Prince William are expanding their royal roles yet again.

Nearly a year after they were dubbed the Princess and Prince of Wales by King Charles III following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the royal couple have been given additional titles after a reshuffling of military appointments within the family, according to The Telegraph, citing the Buckingham Palace.

Kate has been appointed the Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm, Colonel-in-Chief of the 1st Queen's Dragoon Guards and Royal Honorary Air Commodore of Royal Air Force Coningsby. Meanwhile, William has been named Colonel-in-Chief, The Mercian Regiment; Colonel-in-Chief, The Army Air Corps; and Royal Honorary Air Commodore, RAF Valley, where he previously spent three years as a search and rescue pilot.

In becoming the new Royal Honorary Air Commodore for RAF Coningsby, Kate lands her first senior role for the Royal Air Force (RAF). However, the title also holds a special connection to her grandfather, Captain Peter Middleton, who flew alongside Queen Elizabeth's late husband Prince Philip during a two-month aerial tour of South America in 1962, according to The Telegraph.............

Buckingham Palace delivered ‘brutal reality check’ to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle: expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova   
August 12, 2023

Buckingham Palace has been accused of serving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with a “brutal reality check,” according to a royal expert.

Harry was quietly stripped of “His Royal Highness” from his profile page this week shortly after the Express pointed out the “major blunder” on their site.

Royal expert Richard Kay labeled the move “brutal,” adding that it was “no coincidence” that the Duke of Sussex’s Japan trip lined up with the update.

“For it was surely no coincidence that the Prince’s arrival in the Far East coincided with the brutal reality check administered by Buckingham Palace about his status — and that of his wife, Meghan — in the new‑look Royal Family,” Kay wrote for the Daily Mail.

Kay added that sources close to the monarch claim the royals are furious at “sustained” attacks from the Sussexes.

 Kate Middleton making secret, late-night calls to Prince Harry: report
By Jane Herz   
August 13, 2023 8:56pm

Golden receiver?

Kate Middleton, 41, has been phoning her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, 38, late at night as a “kind gesture” in an effort to mend his fractured relationship with the royal family, according to UK’s Closer Weekly.

“Kate has been in touch with Harry to tell him to keep his chin up and not worry too much about these temporary setbacks,” an unidentified source claimed to the outlet last week.

The source also alleged that throughout the familial turmoil, Middleton’s relationship with Harry has “remained intact.”

“She feels very sorry for him right now,” the source continued. “Seeing him go through all these setbacks is very difficult to witness and it tugs at her heartstrings — especially as his court trial is taking place so close to their home.”

The Post reached out to representatives for Harry and Kensington Palace for comment.

Harry visited London in June to testify against the publisher of UK’s Daily Mirror as part of his ongoing claim that its journalists hacked his phone years ago.

Meanwhile, he was granted an allowance last month to take News Group Newspapers to trial over allegations it used “illegal methods” to gather information against him, according to People.

If she indeed is making calls to Harry IMHO she is making huge mistake. His father extended an olive branch to him and he refused.  He went on national TV and trashed the family then wrote a book and he continued to trash the family.  Why should she feel sorry for him?  I can't help but wonder what her true motive is here.

Prince Harry’s ‘royal status has gone’ as he is ‘ignored’ at polo match: expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
August 15, 2023

Prince Harry’s royal status has vanished after he was reportedly “ignored” at a fundraiser polo match last week, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, visited Japan and Singapore to raise funds for his charity, leaving his wife Meghan Markle in California with their two kids: Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.

And as the duke rolled up his sleeves to take part it the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup — an event that helps Sentebale — a charity founded by Harry.

But the duke was reportedly “ignored” by attendees at the event.

“Harry probably doesn’t have any body language for moments like this — when he is left alone, un-hosted and virtually ignored by the others at the event,” royal expert and body language guru Judi James told the Express.

King Charles would want to meet grandchildren Archie, Lilibet on 75th birthday: expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
August 16, 2023

King Charles wants to finally hug his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet for the first time on his birthday in November, according to a royal expert.

“Charles would want Harry and Meghan’s children there,” royal biographer and expert Angela Levin told the Sun. “If Harry and Meghan want to make an excuse, that’s their decision.”

Tensions reached an all-time high in the inner circle due to conflict between the royal family and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, meaning that their kids have yet to meet their grandfather.

Levin claimed that the Montecito-based couple will also want to attend the King’s birthday celebrations in the UK, adding that she doesn’t see why Markle wouldn’t be invited.

It’s still unclear, however, whether or not a reunion between the Sussexes and the Firm is on the cards at this time, especially since Markle didn’t attend Charles’ coronation in May.

Royal family ‘could become extinct if they’re not careful,’ must prove ‘value for money’: ex-Diana butler

By Nika Shakhnazarova
August 16, 2023

The royal family risks becoming “extinct” if not careful about their excessive lifestyle, according to Princess Diana’s former butler.

Paul Burrell, who worked for the late Diana for over 10 years until her death in 1997, believes that “the minute the public rise up, it’s too late” to save the British monarchy.

Burrell, 65, said it’s important that the family show they are “value for money” and “relevant to today” to retain their position in society.

“The royals can’t be seen to be too excessive because I think the minute the public don’t want them there, they won’t be there,” Burrell, who’s always been vocal about his thoughts on the royals, explained as part of his partnership with the online game Slingo.

“I think it’s a dinosaur situation. I’ve always thought to myself that they could become extinct if they’re not careful,” he went on, adding that they “have to be very careful with the way they spend money and how much money comes from the privy purse, which is paid for by the taxpayer.”

Prince Harry, Andrew have ‘no road back’ into royal family, Brits have ‘no appetite’ for their return: expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
August 17, 2023

Prince Harry and his disgraced uncle Prince Andrew have “no road back” into the royal fold under King Charles’ reign, according to a royal expert.

Royal broadcaster Esther Krakue said the British public “has no appetite” for their return following a series of recent shocking revelations from the Duke of Sussex, and scandals from the Duke of York.

“In terms of public life, Prince Andrew and Prince Harry find themselves in a similar situation in that there is no road back for them in the Royal Family,” Krakue told Sky News Australia.

Krakue’s comment follows hot on the heels of a new poll, conducted by Deltapoll for the Daily Mail, that found more than half of 1,504 Brits wanting Harry removed from the line of succession.

King Charles, as Harry's father, may not have the stomach for that.  Just like QEII only sidelined Prince Andrew, KC may leave things for Harry as they are now. However, siblings don't find it so difficult to take a harder stand. Just like KC "evicted" Andrew from his royal digs, removing Harry from the royal line of succession might not happen until King William takes the throne. If King Charles were to do that, I would agree with the move but would be surprised, since that would essentially nix any chance of him having a connection with his grandchildren.

Makes complete sense to me.  Charles, William, and Kate seem to understand that.  Harry does not.

I'd add that considering what's happening in our own country right now, I can at least see a bit better how/why a constitutional monarch can have value.  They're sort of a national symbol that endures beyond politics, and that can be stabilizing.  I do remember when Juan Carlos of Spain essentially ended a coup by getting on TV and backing the newly elected government.

Not saying I want one here, because I think that's a terrible idea for us.  But I do kind of "get" it.

Disgraced Prince Andrew was original ‘spare’ — but also Queen Elizabeth’s favorite: ‘Secrets’

By Samantha Ibrahim
August 21, 2023

Prince Harry can step aside — the OG “spare” is actually Prince Andrew.

A new A&E documentary, “Secrets of Prince Andrew,” has revealed why the scandal-ridden Duke of York has always been considered the late Queen Elizabeth’s “favorite” child as well as the original surplus prince.

“We know from Prince Harry that the ‘spare’ creates an idea of resentment and jealousy,” British biographer Andrew Lownie said.

“[Prince] Andrew was an accident waiting to happen for years.”

Prince Harry’s luscious new hair chopped by critics: ‘Looks like a fool’

By Brooke Steinberg
August 21, 2023

Everyone’s talking about Prince Hairy.

Prince Harry’s new headshot just dropped on the mental health “transformation” firm BetterUp’s website — and he’s showing off a mysteriously dark, thick head of hair.

The 38-year-old royal serves as the chief impact officer of the company, who describes him as a “humanitarian, military veteran, mental wellness advocate, and environmentalist” in his biography alongside the picture featuring his luscious locks.

But weirdly enough, recent photos and video footage of the Duke of Sussex show him with much thinner and brighter ginger hair than his leadership team snap.

Earlier this month, Harry was photographed shopping for his wife, Meghan Markle, 42, in Tokyo — and his hair was not as abundant.

 Prince Harry, King Charles set date to meet for ‘peace talks’: report
By Jane Herz   
August 20, 2023 11:55am

They found some spare time?

King Charles III, 74, and his youngest son, Prince Harry, 38, are reportedly set to meet for “peace talks” on Sept. 17 amid their ongoing family feud — an occasion the king is said to have cleared his schedule for.

“King Charles is due to return to London from Balmoral in the middle of September, which ties in with the end of Harry’s Invictus Games trip to Dusseldorf,” an unidentified source told UK’s OK! Magazine.

“The king has a rescheduled official visit to France on Sept. 20, so [he] has a few days to spare in London to meet with his son. Staff are trying to fine-tune the details as we speak.”

Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, 42, is not expected to join them.

King Charles pushed ‘right to the limit’ by ‘total outcasts’ Prince Harry, Meghan Markle: expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
August 22, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have pushed King Charles “right to the limit,” according to a royal expert.

Charles Rae, former royal editor of the Sun, said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s myriad of attacks on the royal family cemented their status as “total outcasts.”

“Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become total outcasts. They’ve had their HRH titles [His and Her Royal Highness] stripped from the royal family website,” he told TalkTV.

While the couple, who wed in 2018, retain their respective Sussex titles, they can no longer use their defunct HRH titles to “further their careers,” Rae claims.

“You can only push someone like King Charles so far, and Harry and Meghan have pushed him right to the limit. It’s only right that they are now ostracized,” he went on.

I am GUESSING that King Charles,the private man,will take him back as a "removed from the center family member",but NOT take him back as a private or public member of the Royal Family inner circle.

Yes,there IS "family" involved here despite the fact that his father was his mother's horsemaster,and not a member of the Royal Family. The Royal Family seems to have agreed to keep THAT bit of fiction alive in the interest of preserving what little dignity the family has left.

It’s straight to the kids’ table for Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte and Prince George.

The young children of Kate Middleton and Prince William are reportedly not permitted to sit with their parents during holidays and official dinners for one interesting reason.

The kids are “aren’t allowed to sit with the adults until they have learned the art of polite conversation,” former royal chef Darren McGrady told Harper’s Bazaar, according to the Mirror.

The cook also revealed that even for Christmas, the trio will eat with their nannies in the nursery until they become of age to be more presentable during public affairs of state.

“The children always ate in the nursery until they were old enough to conduct themselves properly at the dining table,” McGrady explained.

Prince Harry and Meghan $1,200 sightseeing tour led by Thomas Markle’s friend axed after outrage

August 23, 2023

A royal sightseeing tour that promised to take passengers within feet of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Montecito mansion has been axed over privacy concerns.

The hotspot tour, led by photographer Karl Larsen, Thomas Markle’s longtime pal, was advertised as the “Royal Celebrity Tour of Los Angeles and Montecito” on travel firm Tripening’s website.

According to The Mirror, each tour costs $1,200 for a group of six and promised royalists to get “an in-depth tour” of “where Meghan grew up” as well as the flashy area “where Harry and Meghan and an army of other A-listers call home.”

Larsen first listed the tour on Tripening with a description that read, “I’m the world-famous celebrity photographer Karl Larsen, a best friend of Thomas Markle (Meghan’s father) and the guy with a stunning exclusive portfolio of pictures of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle together in Montecito.”

Prince Andrew hides at Balmoral with King Charles amid bombshell docuseries: report

 By Samantha Ibrahim   
August 24, 2023 9:58am

Prince Andrew is reportedly attempting to stay hidden at Balmoral Castle in Scotland following the release of the new A&E documentary series “Secrets of Prince Andrew.”

The Duke of York’s checkered past and friendship with dead financier Jeffrey Epstein was explored in the recent bombshell doc.

Andrew, 63, has retreated to the royal’s summer residence with his family as the dust settles from the show’s explosive claims coming to light, according to a report.

Royal expert Pelham Turner revealed to Fox News that the disgraced prince accepted the invite to stay in Scotland from his brother King Charles.

“The royal clans are descending on Balmoral,” Turner divulged.

“It will be interesting to see how many olive branches grow on royal trees,” he added.

The Post has reached out to reps at Buckingham Palace for comment.

This summer will be the first time the royals visit Balmoral following the death of Queen Elizabeth last September.

The Duke will soon be joined by other members of the fam, including his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, as well as Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie.

Prince Harry set to return to the UK solo ahead of Queen Elizabeth’s death anniversary: sources
By Nicki Cox and
Sara Nathan   
August 23, 2023


Prince Harry will be returning to the United Kingdom next month — but he won’t have his leading lady by his side.

Harry, 38, is set to appear at the annual WellChild charity event — which he has attended for 15 years — in London on Sept. 7 before he jets off to Germany for the sixth iteration of his Invictus Games competition.

However, sources familiar with the situation tell us that he will be traveling solo back to his homeland as his wife, Meghan Markle, has previous commitments with their children: Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2.

On top of that, the Duke of Sussex will seemingly be passing through without visiting his estranged family, who will be commemorating the one-year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death just one day later.

Insiders tell us that Harry has yet to receive any invitation to join the family at Balmoral Castle for an intimate event that night.

That's a BS excuse.  These events he is attending are scheduled well in advance and had to have been on his calendar for a long time, they just don't pop up at the last minute, and four and two year olds aren't even aware of "commitments."

Before making it in show business, Meghan Markle rubbed shoulders with some of the most successful sitcom actors in Hollywood.

It’s no secret that the Duchess of Sussex, 42, was a well-established actress in her own right before becoming a royal — and she got her start in front of the camera at a very young age.

Markle’s first uncredited acting role was on the hit sitcom “Married… with Children,” which ran from 1988 until 1997.

She got to see the ins and outs of a TV show set thanks to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, who worked as a lighting director and director of photography for the show.

This week, a resurfaced image from an episode the duchess appeared in showed her as a teen in season 9 of the sitcom.

 Meghan Markle poised to make $1M per post via Instagram: expert
By Alix Breeden and
Eileen Reslen   
August 26, 2023 4:31pm

Meghan Markle can make a pretty penny by posting on Instagram, according to a financial expert.

“I would expect her to quickly become one of the most followed accounts on Instagram,” adviser Eric Schiffer told the Daily Mail on Saturday.

“You have celebrities like the Kardashians who can command $1 million and up for a single post promoting a product. There is no reason Meghan couldn’t be earning those sorts of fees.”

Multiple sources exclusively told Page Six earlier this month that the Duchess of Sussex, 42, had secured the Instagram handle @megan.

However, a separate insider tells us Saturday that claims of Markle returning to the social media platform are false.

“How can she make money if she doesn’t even have Instagram and has no plans to have one?” the source rhetorically asks. Reps for the royal did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

However, if Markle does decide to create a profile one day, Schiffer said that she “has to be careful” so as to not be seen “hawking every product under the sun.”

“She will align with quality brands and companies that are on point with her political and social beliefs,” he added.

 King Charles welcomes back disgraced brother Prince Andrew as ‘part of the family’: report
By Emily Selleck   
August 28, 2023 12:15pm

Prince Andrew is being welcomed back into the royal fold despite his association with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to a new report.

King Charles lll invited his disgraced younger brother to join senior members of the royal family in Scotland, where Prince William was photographed driving Andrew to a church service on Sunday.

“Andrew won’t ever have the same ceremonial role within the family; he is no longer and never will be a working royal. That is clear,” a source described as a friend of the king told the Daily Beast Monday.

“But he is part of the family. He is the king’s brother. He has not been found guilty of any crime, and I think it’s fair to say that the king is making it clear that he won’t turn his back on his brother.”

Andrew — who has laid low since his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, stripped him of his royal and military titles last year — was in clear view of photographers when he arrived at Balmoral Castle with William and Kate Middleton over the weekend.

King Charles to ax 20% of royal household staff in ‘major shakeup’: report

By Nika Shakhnazarova   
August 29, 2023

King Charles is looking to trim the fat of his royal household staff as he plans to axe a whopping 20% of jobs in a “major shakeup,” according to a report.

The King has made his desire for a slimmed-down monarchy known ever since assuming the throne — and it seems as though he’s finally making the necessary changes for a more efficient environment.

Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, reportedly believe that too many members of staff are doing similar jobs, The Mail on Sunday reports.

And the massive job cut is believed to affect “dozens” of employees at Buckingham Palace, Sandringham, Windsor Castle, and Balmoral — the major royal residences.

“There is a real feeling that the staffing at all the palaces is too heavy,” a source told the outlet. “There are far too many assistants to assistants. The King and Queen would prefer to pay people proper wages top to bottom but have less people.”

 Prince Harry wanted Princess Di’s blue engagement ring — but William got it first
By Samantha Ibrahim   
August 29, 2023 9:53am

Ring-a-bling-bling!

The late Princess Diana’s infamous 12-carat sapphire-and-diamond ring has been a treasured hunk of jewelry in the royal family for decades.

While Prince William, 41, gifted his now-wife Kate Middleton with the glistening rock when they became engaged back in 2010, Prince Harry reportedly also wanted the ring for his future spouse.

The Princess of Wales’ former butler Paul Burrell revealed in the Amazon Prime documentary “The Diana Story” that when she died in 1997, both of her young sons were allowed to pick out something from her sparkling collection to hold onto.

Burrell, 65, claimed that Harry, now 38, got her iconic navy blue engagement ring that she received from King (then Prince) Charles in 1981, while William, 41, desired her Cartier watch.

According to Burrell, the wristwatch was given to Diana on her 21st birthday by her father, John Spencer.

The “Entertaining With Style” author also noted that the Duke of Sussex once said, “I remember when I held mummy’s hand when I was a small boy and that ring always hurt me because it was so big.”

When it was time for the William to propose to Middleton 13 years ago, Harry had allowed his older brother to use their mother’s engagement circlet.

“Harry said to him [William]: ‘Wouldn’t it be fitting if she had mommy’s ring?’ ” Burrell said in the documentary.

“One day that ring will be sat on the throne of England. Harry gave up his precious treasure, his one thing he kept from his mother, he gave to his brother. That’s selfless, kind, and exactly who Diana was,” the ex-royal household servant added.

BTW I think the ring looks absolutely fabulous on Kate.  happy77

Prince Harry trashes family’s lack of ‘support’ after Princess Diana’s death in latest royal dig
By Leah Bitsky   
August 30, 2023


Prince Harry shaded his royal family members yet again, this time claiming no one was there for him after mom Princess Diana died in 1997 – or when he returned home from serving in Afghanistan with PTSD.

“The trigger to me was actually returning from Afghanistan, but the stuff that was coming up was from…1997 from the age of 12,” the Duke of Sussex said in his new Netflix limited series, “Heart of Invictus,” which premiered Wednesday.

“The biggest struggle for me is that no one around me could really help,” he continued.

“I didn’t have that support structure, that network, or that expert advice to identify what was actually going on with me.”

Harry, 38, shared that he “suppressed” his trauma from losing his mother at “such a young age” and was “never really aware” of his emotions until it “all came fizzing out.”

“I was bouncing off the walls,” he recalled. “Like, what is going on here? I’m feeling everything as opposed to being numb.”

But it wasn’t until years later, when he was truly struggling, that he decided to seek help for his mental health.

“Unfortunately, like most of us, the first time you really consider therapy is when you’re lying on the floor in the fetal position, probably wishing that you dealt with some of this stuff previously,” he said.

 Prince Harry, Meghan Markle won’t return to UK because she won’t ‘curtsy’ to Kate Middleton: author
By Jack Hobbs   
September 3, 2023 4:15pm

Bowed out for good?

Royal biographer Andrew Morton is claiming Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan Markle, 42, won’t return to the UK because she wouldn’t want to curtsy to Kate Middleton, 41, when Prince William, 41, becomes king.

On Sky News’ “Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips,” the biographer, who collaborated with Princess Diana on 1992’s “Diana: Her True Story,” was asked about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex coming back to Britain.

The couple stepped back as senior members of the royal family in 2020 and decamped to California.

“What, and have Meghan Markle curtsying to Kate Middleton?” snarked Morton, 70. “I don’t think so. I don’t see that as a runner. They’ve got their own lives in California.”

“They’ve got their own set, they’ve got their own influence, and they’ve got their own companies,” continued Morton.

According to royal protocol, Markle would only be required to bow to Middleton once the latter ascends the throne.

The Post reached out to Morton and Markle for comment.

Kate Middleton won over Queen Elizabeth despite Camilla’s initial disapproval, expert claims

Quote

When Kate Middleton arrived at King Charles III’s coronation in May, the world got a glimpse of the princess who will one day be queen consort.

The Princess of Wales joined the British royal family at Westminster Abbey for the crowning ceremony of her father-in-law, 74. All eyes were on the mother of three as she wore a jewel-hued Alexander McQueen gown that was paired with a Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen silver headpiece.

The 41-year-old has come a long way since she married Prince William, the heir to the British throne, in 2011. Following Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September, several royal experts agreed that the focus has been on the princess as she supports the future king.

He's been accused before and with the evidence reported against Andrew it's pretty difficult to conclude that he is innocent, yet Charles continues to keep the door open for him.

This only adds to the ugliness and absolute shamefulness that surrounds him.  I certainly wouldn't want him around any youngsters -- he overpowers them and preys upon them.

I can't help but also remember that Trump on several occasions visited Epstein island as well as having Epstein at Mar a Lago.  I realize that he broke ties with him, but Trump still had to have known what was going on there and what Epstein was doing. I'm not accusing him of anything other than not coming forward to help the victims.  IMHO that's something to be considered. Billy Bob Clinton is a party to all of that as well.

King Charles Honors Queen Elizabeth on First Anniversary of Her Death with Message and Rare Photo


Quote

King Charles is remembering his mother, Queen Elizabeth, on the first anniversary of her death.

After midnight on Friday in the U.K., the King issued a formal message to mark the anniversary, which doubles as his Accession Day. Charles immediately acceded to the throne when his mother died at age 96 on Sept. 8, 2022, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She reigned for a record 70 years and had recently celebrated her Platinum Jubilee.

“In marking the first anniversary of Her late Majesty’s death and my Accession, we recall with great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us,” King Charles said in the statement.

“I am deeply grateful, too, for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year as we do our utmost to be of service to you all,” he added, referring to his wife Queen Camilla.

 Prince William, Kate Middleton ‘dreading’ Harry’s UK visit because of ‘severe lack of trust’: royal expert
By Leah Bitsky   
Published Sep. 7, 2023, 2:08 p.m. ET

Royal experts believe Prince William and Kate Middleton have no desire to reunite with Prince Harry or Meghan Markle.

Harry, 38, flew to London Thursday without Markle, 42, to attend a WellChild charity event, one day before the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

While it’s unclear if the Duke of Sussex will join family members in honoring his late grandmother’s memory, royal expert Kinsey Schofield suspects that William and Kate are “dreading” Prince Harry’s visit.

“It is my understanding that the Prince and Princess of Wales have no desire to meet with Harry – with or without Meghan Markle,” Schofield told Fox News in an interview published Thursday.

“There is a severe lack of trust, and they don’t want the conversation repeated to anyone.”

The “To Di For Daily” podcast host added that William and Middleton, both 41, most likely don’t want Harry’s presence to distract from honoring the longest-reigning British monarch, who died on Sept. 8, 2022 at age 96.

“Especially when William and [Middleton] are expected to publicly acknowledge the anniversary of the late queen’s passing. Harry will be, no doubt, a distraction and will create conflicting headlines that the palace will not appreciate,” Schofield said.

“He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. … It’s a tough spot to be in, but Harry seems to be prioritizing philanthropy right now. I’m not surprised by his eagerness to attend.”

NOT buying the child-molesting thing without a LOT more evidence being pushed forward.

It's such an easy accusation to be make against someone wealthy and famous,and impossible to prove you are innocent.

I'm with you on this.  It's probably he did stuff with Epstein, but that seems to have been with teenage girls.  Still creepy as hell, but a 10 year old and a 12 year old, one a boy...yeah, I'd need more than just some dude I've never heard of tweeting it too.

Prince William, Kate Middleton ‘dreading’ Harry’s UK visit because of ‘severe lack of trust’: royal expert
By Leah Bitsky   
Published Sep. 7, 2023, 2:08 p.m. ET

Royal experts believe Prince William and Kate Middleton have no desire to reunite with Prince Harry or Meghan Markle.

Harry, 38, flew to London Thursday without Markle, 42, to attend a WellChild charity event, one day before the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

While it’s unclear if the Duke of Sussex will join family members in honoring his late grandmother’s memory, royal expert Kinsey Schofield suspects that William and Kate are “dreading” Prince Harry’s visit.

“It is my understanding that the Prince and Princess of Wales have no desire to meet with Harry – with or without Meghan Markle,” Schofield told Fox News in an interview published Thursday.

“There is a severe lack of trust, and they don’t want the conversation repeated to anyone.”

The “To Di For Daily” podcast host added that William and Middleton, both 41, most likely don’t want Harry’s presence to distract from honoring the longest-reigning British monarch, who died on Sept. 8, 2022 at age 96.

“Especially when William and [Middleton] are expected to publicly acknowledge the anniversary of the late queen’s passing. Harry will be, no doubt, a distraction and will create conflicting headlines that the palace will not appreciate,” Schofield said.

King Charles pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on first anniversary of her death

By Nika Shakhnazarova
Published Sep. 8, 2023

King Charles paid poignant tribute to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on the first anniversary of her death on Friday.

Charles praised the late monarch, who was Britain’s longest-reigning sovereign, in a pre-recorded speech that was written at Balmoral Castle.

The castle, located in Scotland, was Her Late Majesty’s favorite royal residence. It is also where she died on Sept. 8, 2022.

Charles recalled “with great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us.”

“In marking the first anniversary of Her Late Majesty’s death and my accession, we recall with great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us,” the King said in his tribute.

“I am deeply grateful, too, for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year as we do our utmost to be of service to you all.”

 Queen Elizabeth prepared cake for Lili’s first birthday — but Harry, Meghan were no-shows: ex-staffer
By Samantha Ibrahim   
Published Sep. 8, 2023, 12:27 p.m. ET

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seemingly abandoned the late Queen Elizabeth last year when it came to celebrate their daughter Lilibet Diana’s first birthday.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex jetted across the pond from their California abode last June to attend the monarch’s Platinum Jubilee in England.

The couple were also commemorating their daughter’s big day at the time and according to royal footman Paul Burrell, the queen had a special dessert made for the little tyke.

However, the sovereign — who died on Sept. 8, 2022, at the age of 96 — allegedly didn’t get to meet with her great-granddaughter on her big day.

“Even on Lilibet’s first birthday the Queen didn’t see her,” Burrell, 65, told the Mirror recently.

“She saw her the day before. But on her birthday, the queen had a birthday cake made with one candle in it. And they never turned up. That candle was never lit,” Princess Diana’s former butler said.

The Invictus Games founder, 38, and the former actress, 42, had thrown a little bash for Lilibet at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. The now-2-year-old was born on June 4, 2021, and was named after the queen and Harry’s late mother.

Meghan Markle’s popularity in US falls well below Prince Harry’s: poll

By Jane Herz
Published Sep. 10, 2023

Meghan Markle may have been our very own American princess, but it’s her British prince whom the US loves most.

According to a new poll conducted by Newsweek, Prince Harry, 38, is slightly more popular than his wife, 42 — at least, among those surveyed in the US.

The poll asked 1,500 adults between September 3 and 4 their feelings about the ex-royals, finding that 33% of people reported their dislike for Markle, while a rivaling 31% said the opposite.

This gives her a net approval rating of -2, according to the outlet.

The former “Suits” star is down eight points from the outlet’s last royal poll that took place in June.

On the other hand, The Duke of Sussex was liked by 39% of people and disliked by 27%.

Nevertheless, Harry has also seen a drop in fan approval since June, when he was at +18 — now, coming in at a net approval of +12.

No one would ‘appreciate’ Prince Andrew returning to public life: royal expert

By Nika Shakhnazarova
Published Sep. 12, 2023

It would be “very foolhardy” for Prince Andrew to try to find his way back into public life, a royal expert has warned.

Royal Editor Russell Myers believes the UK has no appetite for the Duke of York’s return as a working member of the royal family after his catastrophic fall from grace.

The scandal-scarred royal, 63, who was famously stripped of his royal and military honors by his late mother, has been keeping a low profile ever since his reputation suffered a brutal blow.

“We look back to the moment of the Queen having passed away as not only a monarch leaving this world, but also a family that was grieving as well and we had to be particularly sensitive to that,” Myers told Sky News Australia.

“And this was a private memorial, this was a man who had lost his mother and the family’s still coming to terms with that.”

She’s Prince Harry’s burger queen.

Meghan Markle drove herself and a friend to In-N-Out Burger in Goleta, Calif., on Sunday where they were seen picking up some delectable dishes.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was seen cruising in the front seat of her luxury Range Rover SUV, which costs $100,000+, while hitting up the fast food franchise’s drive-thru for some greasy bites.

Markle appeared completely exhilarated as she smiled big while employees handled her order.

Royal family banned from 175-year-old hunting tradition after being kicked off estate

By Nika Shakhnazarova
Published Sep. 13, 2023

The royal family has been banned from hunting on the Scottish estate near Balmoral Castle — bringing a dramatic end to their 175-year-old tradition.

Since 1852, the royals have spent time shooting, deer stalking, and fishing on the Abergeldie estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

It’s a pastime that has been in the family since the Balmoral estate was purchased by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, which subsequently granted them access to the 11,500-acre plot.

But after the estate went up for sale in 2020, the new owner has ended the royal lease which means that King Charles and his family are no longer free to use it.

According to planning documents filed by Abergeldie’s new owner, Alastair Storey plans to revamp the grounds.

“For the last 175 years, the Royal family have leased the sporting rights at Abergeldie but this has now ceased, and will be actively run by the new Laird,” docs filed with Aberdeenshire council state, per The Telegraph.

“To facilitate the transformation and to effectively run the estate, new facilities will be required.”

 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were done with royals after this photo snub
By Stephanie Webber   
Published Sep. 21, 2023, 10:26 a.m. ET

Not picture perfect. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle finally decided to pull the plug on their senior royal roles once a certain heir photo was released by Buckingham Palace.

According to author Andrew Morton, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were taken aback when a 2020 photo of the late Queen Elizabeth II — and her heirs, the now King Charles, Prince William and Prince George — made its debut.

“The royal couple suspected that the entire institution was conspiring against them. As they saw it, the evidence was all around them. The unspoken code was straightforward: the future of the monarchy was assured, with or without Meghan and Harry,” Morton claimed in his unauthorized biography, “Meghan: A Hollywood Princess.”

The photograph was taken in the Throne Room at the palace. Two days after its release, Harry and Meghan revealed that they would be officially leaving The Firm.

Good grief ... the entire institution was conspiring against them?  Paranoia much or do they both have problems; Harry dealing with the death of his mother and Markle dealing with issues with her father.  Harry's jealousy of his older brother didn't seem to be an issue until Markle entered the picture.  She over estimated Harry's royalty as far as being an heir to the throne and whined about it to him, making him very sensitive to the issue.

They decided to move to CA.  That's where they need to stay.

Meghan Markle 'considers run for office': Duchess of Sussex's name is in the frame to fill Californian Senator Dianne Feinstein's seat after senator died aged 90 (and could the White House be her ultimate aim?)



Quote

She has made no secret about her left-leaning politics and belief that women can change the world.

So it may come as no surprise that Meghan Markle's name was being bandied about in Hollywood last night as a long-shot replacement for Californian Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Indeed, within minutes of 90-year-old Feinstein's death being announced on Friday, the Mail on Sunday was told 'phones lit up' with speculation the Duchess of Sussex could throw her hat in the ring to serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein's term.

A major Democratic donor who is close to Californian Governor Gavin Newsom - who will choose Feinstein's replacement - told the MoS: 'Meghan is definitely a long-shot but in the craziness that is US politics these days it's not an impossibility. Crazier things have happened.'

The Sussexes are back in the Big Apple.

Meghan Markle looked chic in a white off-the-shoulder blazer and trousers as she attended a World Mental Health Day event with Prince Harry Tuesday, with the couple visiting New York for the first Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, wore a sold-out Altuzarra blazer with wide-legged white trousers and slingback heels for the forum at Hudson Yards, which was titled “Mental Wellness in a Digital Age.”

The jacket — which featured a wide folded-down neckline and two buttons at the front —  brings back memories of the white off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton dress she wore to the 2022 Ripple of Hope Gala.

Markle wore her hair pulled up in a sleek bun, accessorizing with a gold choker necklace and hoop earrings.

As for Prince Harry, he wore a navy suit with a dress shirt and coordinating blue tie for the summit.

The panel — which was moderated by “Today” show co-host Carson Daly during the World Mental Health Day Festival hosted by Project Healthy Minds — was created to focus on “community and creating positive change for a safer online world for young people.”

Buckingham Palace statement on King Charles III reaction to Hamas attacks on Israel: "This is a situation His Majesty is extremely concerned about, and he has asked to be kept actively updated. His thoughts and prayers are with all of those suffering, particularly those who have lost loved ones, but also those actively involved. His Majesty is appalled by and condemns the barbaric acts of terrorism in Israel."

I guess he couldn't use the words Hamas or terrorism.


Well, he did use the word "terrorism" and, also, he is the sovereign, and as I recall from QE, is not supposed to take sides particularly, so there is that.

More likely, the statement from William was the truer statement of the Royal Family's views on the matter; they would not have been permitted to make that statement without the consent of the royal family, i.e., the King.

According to the Mirror, a source told Woman Magazine: "There's very much a feeling that Harry wants to concentrate on charity work and his family, while Meghan is much more concentrated on moving her brand forward."

Last week an insider claimed that Meghan Markle felt lost after suffering the massive blow of losing her deal with Spotify.  ...

The difference is that Markle has/had a "brand" separate from her status as a royal. So at least in theory, she's got something to fall back on.  But the only reason Harry is famous is because of those royal connections.

Guy may be starting to realize that he was gelded by his own wife.

Prince Harry and Prince William's Relationship Is Beyond Repair: 'There's No Going Back' (Exclusive)


Quote

Published on November 15, 2023 08:00AM EST

Prince Harry laid bare the painful rift between himself and his family in the pages of his memoir Spare last January — and the world learned the extent of the division between Harry, 39, and his brother Prince William, 41.

But nearly a year after Spare’s publication, “absolutely nothing has changed,” author Omid Scobie, whose new book Endgame is out Nov. 28, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story.

In fact, the hurt and anger between the two brothers — one, the Prince of Wales and future King and the other, the Duke of Sussex and Californian — has now hardened into something colder and more immovable, says Scobie: indifference.

“I saw Harry’s release of Spare as his last attempt at telling his family how he’s felt for years,” says Scobie, who chronicles both the breakdown of the royal family and the weakening of the modern monarchy in Endgame. “Because clearly there’s never been an open enough forum to have these conversations or share these feelings.”

Very sad that William and Harry's relationship is gone and irreparable.  I don't think Harry would have trashed his family had it not been at the urging of Markle. Such a shame that the biotch destroyed the family. 

The Royal family I think will eventually lose the significance they once played in the UK; the death of the Queen I think was the beginning of the end.  People aren't as accepting of royalty anymore as too many are struggling and the world has changed dramatically.

I Investigated Princess Diana’s Death: Here’s The Real Story You Won’t See In ‘The Crown’
Former FBI Agent Thomas Baker tells the true story of his investigation into Princess Diana’s death.
By: Thomas Baker
November 17, 2023
Quote
As Netflix launches its final season of “The Crown,” focusing on Princess Diana, her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, and his billionaire father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, many viewers will be retold the story of Diana’s shocking death through TV news flashes. Personally, I remember getting the news in a phone call from the White House.

When Diana and Dodi were killed in Paris, I was working at the American Embassy there. A career FBI agent, I was assigned to Paris as the legal attaché, meaning I was the U.S. government’s official liaison with French law enforcement. Later, my private work as a consultant would draw me more deeply into the investigation of the tragedy. ...

After retiring from the FBI, I was working as a consultant when asked to help on a “very sensitive” case by an FBI colleague. It was an investigation related to the princess’s death. He needed someone with a knowledge of both the French and British police systems. Mohamed Al-Fayed had suspicions about the death of his son and the princess, whom he had regarded as his future daughter-in-law. He was unsatisfied with the French judicial investigation. Their 6,000-page report had concluded that Princess Diana’s death was an accident. ...

MacNamara outlined Al-Fayed’s belief: The crash was orchestrated by MI-6 on orders from the royal family. Further, the CIA aided MI-6 in this murderous undertaking. I pushed back. There was no rational reason, nor national interest, for the CIA to want Diana dead. MacNamara did not like my pushback. I promised, even though I did not believe there was a conspiracy, we would “turn over every stone” to see if there was collusion with French, British, or American services. ...

In Paris, we would be staying at an apartment on Rue Arsène Houssaye, the very place Dodi and Diana had been bound for when they were killed. It was a truly grand apartment, which occupied the top floors of the building. There were phones throughout for us to use. We suspected the phones, likely the entire apartment, were bugged. Our suspicions would be confirmed.  ...

 Piers Morgan names King Charles and Kate Middleton as royals who asked ‘troubling’ questions about Archie’s skin color
By Social Links for Erin Keller
Published Nov. 29, 2023, 7:04 p.m. ET

Piers Morgan claims King Charles and Kate Middleton are the members of the royal family named in Omid Scobie’s “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival” as the two “racist” royals who were concerned about the darkness of Prince Archie’s skin color.

The brash “Piers Morgan Uncensored” host made the statement Wednesday on the program after Scobie’s book was pulled off shelves in Holland on Tuesday because of the “royal racists” errorless being included in the Dutch version of it.

“I’m going to tell you the names of the two senior Royals who are named in that Dutch version of the book because frankly, if Dutch people wandering into a bookshop, can pick it up and see these names, then you, British people, here — who actually pay for the British Royal Family — you’re entitled to know, too,” Morgan, 58, prefaced his bombshell claim.

“And then we can have a more open debate about this whole ferragosto because I don’t believe any racist comments were ever made by any of the royal family, and until there is actual evidence of those comments being made, I will never believe it.”

 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry take LA? 5 mansions the ex-royals may snatch up
By Social Links for Hannah Frishberg

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly real estate shopping in Los Angeles, and these lux compounds are right up their alley.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have nixed their plan to move to an $8 million plot of land above the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu and are now instead looking in LA, according to TMZ.

The pair vetoed the Malibu plot due to safety and community concerns after it became a media frenzy following reports of their visit, a source told the outlet.

The 39- and 42-year-old ex-royals bought their current nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom Montecito mansion for $14.65 million back in 2020, shortly after quitting the British monarchy.

It boasts rose gardens, a tennis court, a two-bedroom guest house and a tea house and makes Markle “feel free,” but after three years the couple is now ready to sell it — a move they’ve been reportedly considering since at least this July — and relocate closer to the bright lights, big city down the coast from their Santa Barbara County estate.

The unorthodox blue bloods haven’t yet toured any Los Angeles properties but, knowing their tastes and probable budget of between $15 and $20 million, these compounds seem likely contenders for the next stop on their worldwide privacy tour.

In the other, the Prince and Princess of Wales and their young family smile for the camera, dressed in casual jeans and open-necked shirts.

Yes, Kate looks good in jeans and they look like your everyday ordinary family. I think that's the message that they are trying to send; that they are relevant to the average Brits. I think that there has been some backlash because of people not being able to afford to heat their homes or put food on the table (more so than here) and meanwhile the Royal families are living in castles with hired help for all their needs and plenty of food and able to keep their families warm.

IIRC after the Queen passed, there was even talk about doing away with the monarchy ruling altogether.

 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘to reunite with King Charles in New Year’
By Social Links for Andrew Court
Published Dec. 30, 2023
Updated Dec. 30, 2023, 3:06 p.m. ET

Prince Harry’s relationship with big brother Prince William remains seriously strained — but he and wife Meghan Markle are looking to make amends with King Charles, one royal author asserts.

According to Ingrid Seward, the Sussexes are making a resolution to reunite with the monarch in the New Year.

“Obviously King Charles wants to see his son and his grandchildren, and last summer he apparently invited them to Balmoral, which they turned down,” Seward — who has written more than a dozen books on the royal family — told GB News, per The Mirror.

However, the scribe believes Harry and Markle will make a more concerted effort with the King in 2024.

“They need the King and his blessing far more than the King needs them,” she stated.

Queen's fury over naming of baby Lilibet: Aide says monarch was 'as angry as I'd ever seen her' after Harry and Meghan claimed they had her blessing to use childhood nickname

    Revelation comes in the latest instalment of Robert Hardman's new biography

By Rebecca English Royal Editor

Published: 16:30 EST, 14 January 2024 | Updated: 20:55 EST, 14 January 2024

Queen Elizabeth was infuriated by Harry and Meghan's claim that she had given her blessing to their daughter being named Lilibet, a new book reveals.

One member of her staff says the monarch was 'as angry as I'd ever seen her' after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex publicly stated they would not have used her private family nickname if she had not been 'supportive'.

The couple even ordered their aggressive firm of lawyers, Schillings, to write to news broadcasters and publishers - most notably the BBC - saying claims she was not asked for permission were false and defamatory and should not be repeated.

But when the Sussexes attempted to 'co-opt' Buckingham Palace into 'propping up' their version of events, they were 'rebuffed'.

 Queen Elizabeth’s final moments before death revealed in heartbreaking new memo
By Social Links for Danica Daniel
Published Jan. 12, 2024, 4:01 p.m. ET

It has been more than a year since Queen Elizabeth’s death at the age of 96, and now her final moments are being revealed.

The last hours of the longest-reigning British monarch in history were recorded by Sir Edward Young, the private secretary of the queen and her most senior staff member.

Young was at the Balmoral Castle in Scotland when Her Majesty died on September 8, 2022, at age 96. He shared what he witnessed in a new biography titled, “Charles III: New King, New Court. The Inside Story.”

At the time of her death, she was “very peaceful,” Young notes in the book, according to the Daily Mail. “In her sleep. Slipped away. Old age. She wouldn’t have been aware of anything. No pain.”

In her final hours, the queen had a plethora of visitors in addition to Young.

Her only daughter, Princess Anne, 73, and the queen’s senior dresser and confidante, Angela Kelly, also took turns at her bedside. Reverend Kenneth MacKenzie, a minister at nearby Crathie Kirk, spent time with the queen and read from the Bible.

The memoir was written by the Daily Mail’s highly esteemed royal documentarian Robert Hardman. It also details how Queen Elizabeth, who would go on to reign an unprecedented 70 years and appoint 15 prime ministers, was still dedicated to duty until the very end.

Moments after Young wrote of Queen Elizabeth’s passing, which is now in the Royal Archives, a footman brought a locked red box of paperwork found at the late queen’s deathbed.

The box contained two sealed letters, one to her son, King Charles III, and the other to Sir Edward himself. It also included her choice of candidates for the Order of Merit for “exceptionally meritorious service” across the Commonwealth.

 Revealed: Why Kate Middleton wasn’t at Balmoral when Queen Elizabeth died
By Social Links for Samantha Ibrahim
Published Jan. 13, 2024, 10:37 a.m. ET

As Queen Elizabeth lay dying in September 2022, royals raced to be by her side at Balmoral Castle.

Prince William quickly jetted from England to the Scottish estate, alongside Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

However, Princess Kate did not join them, sparking speculation that she was not extended an invitation by the family.

However, royal author Robert Hardman reveals in his new book, The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy, that it was Kate’s decision to stay behind.

In an excerpt published by the Daily Mail, he noted that Kate, 42, decided to remain in England with children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.

The trio were starting the first day of classes at Lambrook school and Kate wanted to ensure that her children began the school year with some stability.
At the time, reports surfaced that Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle was ordered to stay home in Montecito, Calif while her husband raced to Scotland.

Kate’s decision to stay in England allegedly made it easier for royals to tell Harry that Meghan was not welcome at Balmoral.

“It was by luck rather than judgement, but it made it a lot easier to tell Harry he was coming alone,” a palace aide told Hardman for his book.

 Like the late Duke of Edinburgh, she [Queen Elizabeth] did not like a queue of family well-wishers flocking to her bedside when ill,” he penned.

Queen's fury over naming of baby Lilibet: Aide says monarch was 'as angry as I'd ever seen her' after Harry and Meghan claimed they had her blessing to use childhood nickname

    Revelation comes in the latest instalment of Robert Hardman's new biography

By Rebecca English Royal Editor

Published: 16:30 EST, 14 January 2024 | Updated: 20:55 EST, 14 January 2024

Queen Elizabeth was infuriated by Harry and Meghan's claim that she had given her blessing to their daughter being named Lilibet, a new book reveals.

One member of her staff says the monarch was 'as angry as I'd ever seen her' after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex publicly stated they would not have used her private family nickname if she had not been 'supportive'.

The couple even ordered their aggressive firm of lawyers, Schillings, to write to news broadcasters and publishers - most notably the BBC - saying claims she was not asked for permission were false and defamatory and should not be repeated.

But when the Sussexes attempted to 'co-opt' Buckingham Palace into 'propping up' their version of events, they were 'rebuffed'.

Kate Middleton Hospitalized After Abdominal Surgery, Cancels All Engagements Until Easter



Quote

Kensington Palace announced on Wednesday that the Princess of Wales, who turned 42 earlier this month, underwent a "planned abdominal surgery" at The London Clinic on the previous day.

"The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery," the statement said. "Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."

"The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private," the statement continued. "Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share."

Britain's King Charles III to undergo hospital treatment for an enlarged prostate


Quote

LONDON — Britain’s King Charles III will undergo a “corrective procedure” in the hospital next week after seeking treatment for an enlarged prostate, Buckingham Palace said Wednesday.

“In common with thousands of men each year, The King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate,” the statement said. “His Majesty’s condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure.”

It added that the 75-year-old's monarch “public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation.”

A Buckingham Palace source told NBC News that Charles “was keen to share the details of his diagnosis to encourage other men who may be experiencing symptoms to get checked, in line with public health advice.”

 This is the coded message from Prince Harry that ‘wounded’ Prince William: royal author
By Social Links for Nicki Gostin
Published Jan. 18, 2024
Updated Jan. 18, 2024, 10:21 a.m. ET

Prince Harry’s estranged relationship with Prince William was dealt a punishing blow in the Netflix miniseries “Harry & Meghan.”

Royal author Robert Hardman, whose new book is “The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy,” told The Post that he believes Harry criticized William’s choice to marry Kate Middleton.

“Harry talks about marrying someone for love, not because it’s the sort of person you ought to,” Hardman recalled. “I think that’s a lot more wounding. I mean that’s effectively dissing your brother and his choice of wife in a very public way.”

In the first episode of the series, the Duke of Sussex says, “For so many people in the family, especially obviously the men, there can be a temptation or urge to marry someone who fits in the mold, as opposed to somebody who you are perhaps destined to be with.”

He adds: “The difference between making decisions with your head, or your heart. And my mum [Diana] made most of her decisions, if not all of them, from her heart. And I am my mother’s son.”

Hardman also noted that the brothers’ bond was further damaged by Harry’s detailed account of his childhood and relationship with William in the 2023 blockbuster memoir, “Spare.”

Sarah Ferguson: Duchess of York diagnosed with skin cancer

The Duchess of York has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma following the removal of a cancerous mole during treatment for breast cancer.

Sarah Ferguson had several moles removed and analysed while having reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy, her spokesman said.

The duchess "remains in good spirits", despite it being "distressing" to have another cancer diagnosis.

She is the third royal to announce a medical procedure this week. ...

A second cancer diagnosis within six months is clearly a great challenge to deal with, say sources, but she is a resilient person and is getting the care and support of her family.

The duchess has shown a remarkable ability to bounce back from adversity.

Last year, she had a diagnosis of breast cancer, following a routine mammogram screening. ...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently made a surprise appearance at the Jamaican premiere of the "Bob Marley: One Love" biopic. Amid the glitz and glam of the night, a video surfaced showing the couple seemingly hesitating to sit in their assigned seats, which were NOT in the front row.

Harry and Meghan also posed for photos with Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness, who once declared the country was "moving on" from the monarchy. This comes as multiple senior royals, including King Charles, are confirmed to be under medical care.  .  .

The type of cancer has not been revealed - it is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate.
The King began "regular treatments" on Monday and will postpone public duties during the treatment, the Palace said.

The King, 75, "remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible," it added.
No further details are being shared on the stage of cancer or a prognosis.

 Prince Harry would be willing to return to his royal duties — if King Charles asked him to
By Social Links for Sara Nathan
Published Feb. 16, 2024, 7:13 p.m. ET

Prince Harry would be willing to return to royal duties — if King Charles III asked him to, a source tells Page Six.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, made a dash across the Atlantic to see his cancer-stricken father for just over 30 minutes following his recent diagnosis.

Speaking to “Good Morning America” Friday, Harry — who is fifth in line to the throne — stressed, “I love my family.”

A source close to the royal told us: “I have a hard time believing if his dad asks for his help that Harry would say no, I think he would try.”

But at the same time, the source added: “I don’t think it’s something that Harry would ask [to do] on his own.”

Last week, Harry reconciled with his 75-year-old father at the monarch’s London home, Clarence House, during a quick 25-hour trip to the UK.

I think this perhaps is pure speculation at this point.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Will Be Crowned King and Queen ‘Much Sooner’ Than Expected

Prince William kept calm and carried on. “I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the kind messages of support,” Prince William said in a speech at a charity dinner on February 7, his first official day back at work following his wife, Kate Middleton’s abdominal surgery and his father, King Charles’ cancer diagnosis. He even ended his remarks at the fundraiser for London’s Air Ambulance Charity, where he shared a warm chat with Tom Cruise, with a little joke: “It’s fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather ‘medical’ focus, so I thought I’d come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all!”

That’s the kind of stiff upper lip that has defined his family for generations. “The queen would be so proud of how well he’s managed to compartmentalize everything and prioritize his duties to the crown,” a source exclusively tells In Touch of William, who’s been juggling childcare and his wife’s convalescence with his own charity work and some of his dad’s royal obligations. “Charles is definitely impressed by how easily William has filled his shoes.” And while the king’s cancer was caught early and he’s vowed to return to public duty as soon as possible, the palace is bracing for a new bombshell. “Charles can’t help but consider stepping down instead, for the sake of the monarchy,” says the source — “meaning William and Kate will be crowned king and queen much sooner than anyone expected.”

Charles may have no choice. “He’s got a serious battle ahead, and he’ll need to focus on beating this cancer,” the source says of the 75-year-old, who was diagnosed following a procedure for an enlarged prostate, though palace officials have said he does not have prostate cancer. And while he’s continuing some of his duties — such as reading the famous “red box” of government papers daily and meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (by phone for now) — the source notes that the king has experienced increased tiredness from the treatments. “The side effects are a lot worse than anyone knows.”

William has already had to pick up the slack. “He’s taken more control at the palace, staying in constant contact with Charles’ aides,” says the source. “He’s basically the Firm’s point man right now.” He and his famously hard-working aunt, Princess Anne, have also added multiple engagements to their diaries that Charles simply can’t make. Willam, 41, “has tended toward less of the day-to-day routine work of the monarchy, compared to his father, instead focusing on bigger, glitzier engagements,” says royal historian Ed Owens. “But now he’ll be expected to fill in on many of these more mundane public outings.”

Kate, meanwhile, will have to hit the ground running. “She’s still recovering and isn’t expected to be fully back in action until April,” the source says of the 42-year-old princess, who had to cancel a series of official appearances when she had abdominal surgery in January. “The timing isn’t ideal, but she’s ready to step up. They’ve both been preparing for this for years.”..............

Her screaming racism and he screaming how he's been mistreated hoping that people will feel sorry for them hasn't been exactly widely accepted.

First official photo of the Princess of Wales since surgery pulled from major photo outlets over ‘manipulation'

The first photo of Catherine, the Princess of Wales, since her abdominal surgery nearly two months ago was released Sunday along with a statement thanking the public for its support, but within hours major photo agencies issued notices advising outlets to no longer distribute the image, saying that it appeared to have been "manipulated at the source."

The photo of her in a chair surrounded by her three children was credited to her husband, William, Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, and was said to be taken earlier in the week in Windsor. ...

Later Sunday, AP, Reuters and AFP all said media outlets should no longer use the image.

"The Associated Press initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace," the agency said in a statement to NBC News. "The AP later retracted the image because at closer inspection, it appears that the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP's photo standards.

 Kate, Princess of Wales, apologizes for ‘confusion’ over pulled photo
by Sarah Fortinsky - 03/11/24 8:19 AM ET



Kate, Princess of Wales, issued an apology on Monday after the first photo showing her since her abdominal surgery in January was retracted by news agencies once they discovered it had been edited.

“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” the princess wrote from the official Kensington Palace account on X, formerly Twitter.

“I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day,” she added.

The apology came after The Associated Press and other news agencies pulled the photo, ordering its removal from all platforms.

The AP initially published the photo but later retracted the image “because at closer inspection, it appeared the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards,” according to the news service.

The AP pointed to an “inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand” in describing the apparent manipulation.

The photo, released by Kensington Palace on Sunday, featured the princess sitting in a chair surrounded by her three children. It was credited to Prince William of Wales and was reported to have been taken in Windsor earlier in the week.

The photo marked the first time the public got to see the princess since she had abdominal surgery in January.  Her absence from public appearances has led to far-fetched conspiracy theories about her whereabouts and provoked concerns about her wellbeing.

Ancient predictions by 15th-century-prophet Nostradamus are resurfacing amid current events involving Kate Middleton and King Charles' health issues. Nostradamus, who correctly predicted the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the bombing of Hiroshima and the rise of Napoleon, foretold difficult times for the monarchy in 2024.

Nostradamus, in his cryptic verses written centuries ago, predicted the potential abdication of a king and the rise of an unexpected successor, which now seems to echo the current situation involving King Charles and Prince Harry. The ancient prophet said the "King of the Isles" would be "driven out by force” and will be "replaced by one who will have no mark of a king."

King Charles is suffering from cancer, which was discovered when he was undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate. Royal observers speculated that King Charles might step down, either voluntarily or due to pressure related to his health. However, the question of how Prince Harry, who has shown little interest in royal duties, would end up as king remains unanswered.

Should something happen to William due to stress, or unable to serve should something happen to Kate, or for other reasons, his son George would then become king.  However, due to George's age he would be assigned a 'regent' and that person would likely be the next adult heir who would be his Uncle Harry.

Harry becoming regent would be quite a surprising turn of events.  Although he would have to leave the States and move back to the U.K. 

IMHO I think Markle would be foaming at the mouth at a second chance of power and title and very willingly leave CA. Something tells me IF this scenario were to play out, that perhaps Harry would not give up the throne willingly when George turned 18.

Personally, I feel at this time the Royals need prayers -- especially King Charles and Princess Catherine.  William has his hands full.
