@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.”

Lots of articles due to the release of a new book

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."

As Meghan Markle is being criticized for the way she treated the royal staff in a new bombshell book, experts pointed out that the difference between her and Princess Diana’s behavior towards members at the Kensington Palace are "stark."

MEGHAN MARKLE ‘SEEMED BORED’ WITH QUEEN CONSORT CAMILLA’S ADVICE AFTER JOINING ROYAL FAMILY, AUTHOR CLAIMS

"Diana would pop over to staff’s homes for tea. Arriving with gifts...[and was] described as ‘kind’ to staff," Kinsey Schofield, royal expert and host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast, told Fox News Digital.

"The Princess of Wales would apologize to her employees over being messy… despite it being their job to clean up after her! She still said ‘sorry!’"

Princess Diana even invited her employee’s children to vacation with her and her sons, Prince Harry and Prince William.

Seriously Harry, if you're gonna be whipped by some broad, make it worth your while. My first girlfriend could smoke Meg with her little finger and I still gave her the boot when I got fed up of her antics.

So how does a British prince get taken with barely bone average opportunist? You know the guy has had better.

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.

I wonder how long before the book is on the discount shelf? How many Brits want to hear crap about the Queen Mum right after her death?

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.
