Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have “nothing left to say.”
Truer words were ne'er spoken.

No, I take that back. They could say to his family, "We're sorry, we behaved abominably. Please forgive us."

Harry, Meghan Markle to ‘stop writing books, documentaries’ as there’s ‘nothing left to say’: report

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have “nothing left to say.”

BTW,once the dust settles and IF the movie offers start coming in,so will the divorce papers. Meagan IS going to cash in on her "investment".

 


@Kamaji

Translation: "The offers quit coming in."

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 Blasted for ‘Wasting Court Time’ as He Fails to Show Up at His Own Trial


Quote


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.

His lawyer David Sherborne kicked off proceedings by saying that Harry would not be available to the obvious frustration of the judge.

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


Quote

(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.

I used to blame St. Megan of Markle for his behavior I'm not sure I do anymore.

Not being a sensitive person myself, I have a hard time understanding someone who is. As someone who had great wealth, fame and general popularity in England, something within his psyche has decided that he was so wronged, for whatever reason, that he needs to strike out at everybody. :shrug: I think Dianna was that way.

He married the woman he loved, has two great kids , left the Monarchy he so despised behind and still can't let it go.

In the wise words of a friend of mine....Move on.

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

By Nika Shakhnazarova
June 8, 2023

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

By Nika Shakhnazarova
June 16, 2023

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.”

Harry is rapidly degenerating from a widely-admired soldier and Prince of the United Kingdom, to a kept (and comparatively ball-less) man soon to be dependent on his wife to bring in some other kind of Hollywood money.

Pee-ew! Prince Louis catches a whiff of horse poo while travelling to his grandfather's Trooping the Colour celebrations (and one is not amused!)

    Prince Louis, 5, had all eyes on him as he took part in Trooping the Colour today
    Trooping the Colour 2023 LIVE: King Charles celebrates his first Birthday Parade

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.

 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 ‘very depressed’ as disgraced Duke ‘completely lost’ without royal life
By Sam Montgomery
Published: 19/06/2023 - 12:05

The Duke of York was excluded again from the Order of the Garter procession at Windsor Castle

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.

I think the design is a little dowdy for her, but agree with berdie - she wears that color well.

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.
