“Disgusting”: Meghan Markle accused of stealing the spotlight from Kate Middleton as the princess made her royal comeback

Kate Middleton made her royal comeback this Saturday for the Trooping the Colour after receiving her cancer diagnosis in March. The Princess of Wales seemed happy and waved to excited fans along the streets of London. In a statement, she opened the door to attending more royal events later this summer.

While the royal family celebrates that both Kate and King Charles are now somewhat back to royal duty, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are nowhere to be seen. Reports suggest they weren’t even invited to the big royal event, and with all that’s happened, perhaps that wasn’t a surprise.

However, although they weren’t there, the Sussexes, and foremost Meghan Markle, managed to get herself in the spotlight anyway. Just hours before Kate stepped into public again, the Duchess did something that left many accusing her of stealing the attention of the Princess of Wales by releasing a new product through her lifestyle brand.

The talks surrounding Kate Middleton’s possible return to public life began over a week ago. On Friday, the Princess of Wales gave the world the wonderful news.

Kate Middleton return to royal duty after cancer treatment

In a lengthy statement, the Princess of Wales announced that she was looking forward to attending this year’s Trooping the Colour, making her first royal outing since her abdominal surgery in January and the cancer treatment she has received in the last few months.

“I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times,” Kate said.

The Princess of Wales continued: “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”

“My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.”

“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.”

She concluded: “I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal. Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.”

On Saturday, Kate Middleton was photographed arriving at Trooping the Colour. Sitting in a car alongside her husband, Prince William, and their three children, she wore a white dress with a black bow and a white hat, her hair in a bun.

The princess waved to the crowd and looked very happy.

In an interview with GB News, Schofield stated that the princess looked “absolutely incredible” and “well” during the big celebration.

“You can’t deny that she looked absolutely incredible. It was like My Fair Lady, she looked like Audrey Hepburn in the outfit. I don’t know if that was the inspiration, but she looks so sophisticated, so smart. It’s what we’ve come to expect from her, I would expect nothing less,” Schofield said.

“She was so engaged with the children in the carriage. All you can think about is the fact that she’s had a lot of special time with them lately, that this family is incredibly bonded,” she added. “She’s had the opportunity to spend a lot of time at home with them, they’re incredibly close and a beautiful family indeed.”

Kate Middleton later appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside her husband, children, King Charles and Queen Camilla. Finally, after a very challenging year, things returned to somewhat normal.

While Kate has opened up about being at more royal outings this summer, it is not a big guess that she will choose them wisely and not head back to serving the Crown too quickly.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘were not invited’ to Trooping the Colour, expert says

As it has been for many years, the royal family has had to deal with the feud with the estranged Sussexes, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The couple have not been involved with the royal family for years, and the last time they were seen alongside the royals was at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022.

It’s been reported that King Charles has invited the two to Balmoral this summer to spend time with the family – and have Archie and Lilibet get to know their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. But the fact that they weren’t at Trooping the Colour wasn’t a surprise.

According to royal expert Tom Quinn, there have been discussions about inviting Harry and Meghan to Trooping the Colour. However, they felt that even if the Sussexes had accepted an invite, it could have backfired.

“There was a brief discussion among the senior Royals about inviting Harry and Meghan to Trooping the Colour, but the idea was quickly dismissed because even if the couple accepted the invitation there is a feeling that they cast a dark shadow over everything,” Quinn told the Mirror.

It is not known whether Harry and Meghan watched the royal family reuniting on the Buckingham Palace balcony. However, the couple clearly has many other things on their hands at the moment.

Meghan Markle – new lifestyle brand

Some weeks ago, they visited Nigeria on a three-day tour to promote the Invictus Games. Sadly, the royal family reportedly had firm, angry opinions about it.

In the meantime, the Duchess has taken on a new business venture, creating her luxurious brand.

The Duchess launched the lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard in March earlier this year. In the announcement video, shot at the couple’s Montecito mansion, Meghan walked around the beautiful mansion and featured her cooking.

The first product — a lemon-filled gift basket containing fresh fruit jam — was sent to 50 of her friends, many of whom were celebrities. At the time, PR expert Mayah Riaz said Meghan Markle could earn as much as a seven-figure sum within the first year of launching her lifestyle brand.

“So far, the jams have been sent to only 50 people. This suggests that it will be an exclusive and limited edition item,” Riaz told the Mirror.

“It has already been reported a single jam jar could cost three figures. I believe that is entirely likely from what we have seen so far. This is not rare for a celebrity brand.”

The PR expert added, “Therefore, my estimation is that American Riveria Orchard in under a year could make Meghan seven figures. It is entirely possible for the brand to make multi-seven figures by the end of next year,” the PR guru added.

“Meghan was in tears when the brand launched”

Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, will reportedly sell products such as oils, home fragrances, kitchen utensils, and homeware. The brand was intensely hyped when it was announced, and she received hundreds of thousands of followers in the first 24 hours on Instagram.

However, it’s been quiet since then, and Meghan has yet to reveal when the brand will go live. Interest is fading, and some time ago, royal expert Tom Quinn revealed some sad details about Meghan’s company.

Speaking to the Mirror, Quinn claimed that the Duchss was devastated by the public’s reception of her lifestyle brand. Many criticized her for releasing her jam, which hit Meghan Markle hard.

“The one fly in the ointment is Meghan’s new internet brand, America Riviera Orchard. Meghan was in tears when the brand launched, and her new jam was widely mocked for being expensive and nothing special. She has reached the point now where she thinks that anything and everything she does will be unfairly criticized,” Quinn said.

Quinn added that Prince Harry believed “people are unfairly picking on her,.” Moreover, Quinn said she wasn’t prepared for any setback surrounding the American Riviera Orchard.

“She is especially sensitive about any criticism of her luxurious lifestyle in the US – from her point of view, this is something to be admired, not criticized.”

Meghan Markle accused of stealing Kate Middleton spotlight

It’s well-known that Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle weren’t best friends during their time as senior working royal family members. What happened next, as the couple both left the royal family and later accused them of many things through their interviews, the Netflix series and Harry’s book didn’t exactly enhance their relationship, and today, it’s said to be at the bottom.

Now, Meghan Markle is accused of once again trying to steal the spotlight from her former royal colleague.

On Saturday, June 15, just hours before Trooping the Colour, Argentinian polo player Nacho Figuerasa, a close friend of Markle and Prince Harry, revealed the Duchess’s brand’s new raspberry-flavored jam via an Instagram Story.

The announcement’s timing left many royal fans angry and took to social media.

“Try to steal the spotlight from the RF,” one X, formerly known as Twitter, wrote, as per OK! Magazine. “Yet it is still shocking and disgusting.”

A second person added, “Narcissism at its finest,” while a third stated, “No. Meghan can never outshine Princess Kate, not then, now, ever.”

A fourth person concluded, “Who buys jam anyway? It is so easy to make right at home with fresh fruit and a load of sugar!”

Source claims Meghan Markle had nothing do to with it

Although many were furious with Meghan Markle for this, a source close to the Duchess told the Daily Beast that she had nothing to do with it.

The source claimed, “While I am sure the gift packages came with notes requesting social media coverage, you can’t tell Nacho Figueras what to do. So I think it’s certain the timing of his post was his own idea.”

“The larger point here is that the American Riviera Orchard campaign has been phenomenally successful and cost Meghan nothing.”

The source added, “It is a textbook social media campaign. The only problem is that there still seems to be nothing actually for sale, so what is it all for? I guess we will find out.”

Taylor Swift poses for selfie with Prince William, George and Charlotte along with her man Travis Kelce at London gig before rocking royal treats sell-out crowd to his best dad dancing

The Queen of Pop Taylor Swift posed for a selfie with Prince William, George and Charlotte, along with the singer’s man Travis Kelce before the rocking royal broke out his best dad dancing to Shake It Off.

It comes after The Prince of Wales was filmed eagerly joining in in the crowd which also included fellow royals Zara and Mike Tindall as well as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria.

Taylor kicked off the London leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium, performing to fans, celebrities and politicians alike – as well as her American footballer boyfriend.

The Prince of Wales was among the 90,000-strong crowd in London for the hottest ticket in town as Taylor kicked off the London leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour at Wembley – after he took along his children Prince George, 10, and nine-year-old Princess Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Prince Louis, six, stayed home with his mother Kate Middleton.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’s official X account posted the adorable photo with the caption: ‘Thank you Taylor Swift for a great evening!’

Soon after, the popstar posted a selfie with the royals and her boyfriend Kelce to say: ‘Happy birthday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start’ in a touching message to the heir for his 42nd birthday.

In the photo, Kelce is seen wearing his Team USA Olympics hat.

Prince William and megastar Swift have long known each other – the pair shared the stage at Kensington Palace to perform Livin’ On A Prayer with Jon Bon Jovi at a charity event in 2013.

Comments posted on X, formerly Twitter, in response to footage of William dancing included: ‘This is my favourite thing ever!!! I never knew I needed to see Prince William dancing to Taylor Swift!’

Another poster wrote: ‘Prince William is a Swiftie. Immense dad dancing there.’

Last night’s show came after the military band at Buckingham Palace earlier in the day performed a rendition of Shake It Of to mark the Eras Tour arriving in the UK capital for three nights this weekend ahead of another five in August.

Also among those thronging to last night’s Wembley Stadium show were Taylor’s supermodel-turned-actress friend Cara Delevingne.
Ms Swift, 34, and her boyfriend were reuniting with her boyfriend Travis Kelce after a month apart, as he flew in from Cannes with his older brother Jason.

The couple, who are nearing their first anniversary, have not been seen together for over a month after they last enjoyed a romantic lunch on Lake Como, Italy, in May.

The Kansas City Chiefs star had so far been unable to support his girlfriend on the UK leg of her tour due to training commitments.

Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, 34, was among the celebrity-studded audience who joined Kelce in the VIP area alongside Delevingne.

American hairstylist Jonathan van Ness, more commonly known as JVN, posted videos of the glitzy night featuring actress Salma Hayek.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that he was taking a ‘Swift campaign pitstop’ – a break ahead of the July 4 general election – to enjoy the concert with his wife.

William previously said of his duet with Taylor at the 2013 charity event for Centrepoint that he obeyed ‘like a puppy’ her demand he join her on-stage.

He recalled in a 2021 interview: ‘I can’t believe I’m actually telling you this story – I turn up and Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift are at the event, which nearly knocked me off my feet.

Kate Middleton shares new family photo with unusually personal message to William

The Princess of Wales sent a personal message to Prince William as he celebrates his 42nd birthday today with a fun photo of him with his three children jumping over sand dunes

The Princess of Wales has shared a touching unseen photo of Prince William and their three children to mark his 42nd birthday with a highly personal message.

The picture shows William with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis jumping over sand dunes with the message: “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx”, which means it is a personal message from Kate. The photo, shared on social media, was taken last month by Kate while the family were in Norfolk. In the fun snap William beams at the camera as he holds the hands of Charlotte and Louis, with George holding Louis’ hand, as they leap into the air, all pulling delighted faces.

It came the morning after William, president of the FA, was pictured alongside Denmark’s King Frederick as England drew 1-1 with Denmark in Frankfurt, Germany, in their second match of Euro 2024.

Meanwhile, William’s father King Charles also took to social media to wish his son a Happy Birthday this morning. On the Royal Family account, he posted a throwback photo of a baby William sitting on his dad’s lap with Charles beaming at his young son. It was followed with the message: “Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!”

William’s birthday today comes as after he has faced a difficult 12 months following the cancer diagnoses of both his father the King and his wife Kate. Despite his hardships, royal commentator Ingrid Seward has said the past year has been the making of William, and that his mother, the late Princess Diana, would be proud. Speaking to the Mirror, Ingrid said: “It has been one of the most difficult couple of years of Prince William’s life.”

Ingrid continued: “William is sensitive, he likes structure and has perseverance. He does not give up easily. His relationship with brother Harry upset him more than he would care to admit. But he found it easier to cut ties rather than allow himself to be continually annoyed.

“His life with Kate gives him the security, love and friendship he needs. He doesn’t dwell upon the loss of his mother but knows the feeling of hurt will never go away completely.” Ingrid says the events of the past year have brought William and Charles closer, as they both grieve the loss of the late Queen, while William has also learnt a lot more from his father as he prepares to be the next King.

“They have clashed about many issues,” Ingrid added. “They still disagree but it is more constructive than it ever was. But just as things were going so well for the Prince and Princess of Wales, the hammer blow fell. His father got cancer and Kate had a serious abdominal operation. Later to announce she too had to have cancer treatment. William played both mother and father to the children while he carried on with his royal duties supporting the Queen in his father’s absence. The traumas of the past year have made him a stronger person. He has become the kind of man Diana always hoped he would be. Kind considerate and able to take on whatever life throws at him.”

Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales was born second in line to the throne at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, at 9.03pm on June 21 1982. He weighed 7lb 1 1/2oz and was the first-born son of the then-Prince and the Princess of Wales. At just nine months old, he accompanied his parents on a six-week official visit to Australia and New Zealand, which was a break from tradition with royal babies usually left at home in the care of nannies.

His mother Diana, who separated from the then-Prince of Wales in 1992, died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. William was just 15 and his brother Prince Harry 12, and the boys walked behind the princess’s coffin during a funeral procession through London. The prince met Kate Middleton at St Andrews University in Fife, and the pair married at Westminster Abbey in 2011 after dating for more than eight years. They welcomed their first child George in 2013, followed by Charlotte in 2015, and then Louis in 2018

After the death of the late Queen in 2022, the King announced in his first historic address that he had made William and Kate the new Prince and Princess of Wales. William has a long-running rift with his brother the Duke of Sussex, with no sign yet of a reconciliation.

The fallout originated ahead of Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, and worsened after the accusations Harry publicly levelled at his brother in his double tell-alls: his Netflix documentary and his memoir Spare. When their joint friend the Duke of Westminster married in Chester Cathedral earlier this month, William acted as an usher, but Harry mutually agreed with the groom that he would not attend.

Since his last birthday, William has launched Homewards, his five-year drive to eradicate homelessness in six locations around the UK. His other key focuses include raising mental health awareness, and the Earthshot Prize, his £50 million environmental competition to find solutions to help the planet.

Princess Anne in hospital with injuries after ‘incident’ at royal estate

The Princess Royal Anne has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate on Sunday evening, Buckingham Palace has said

Princess Anne has been taken to hospital after suffering from concussion after injuries understood to have been from a horse.

The Princess Royal was injured and left with concussion in the incident at the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire on Sunday evening, Buckingham Palace has said. She remains in a Bristol hospital for observation.

Emergency services were dispatched to the estate and the King’s sister was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital. Royal sources said while the exact cause of the princess’s injuries is unconfirmed, there were horses in the vicinity and royal doctors have suggested her head injuries are consistent with a potential impact from a horse’s head or legs.

A statement from Buckingham Palace said: “The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening. Her Royal Highness remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery.

“The King has been kept closely informed and joins the whole Royal Family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to the princess for a speedy recovery.” The Palace added: “Her Royal Highness is receiving appropriate expert care. No further details are being shared at this stage. Her Royal Highness will remain in Southmead Hospital unless or until her medical team advise otherwise.”

The princess is currently away and conscious while she is receiving medical care in hospital. Buckingham Palace declined to confirm whether Anne was alone or had a chaperone while out walking when the incident occurred. Royal sources said due to the princess’s concussion, precise details of the incident and how it occurred are unable to be ascertained at the moment.

Anne is expected to make a full recovery and to return home later this week. Daughter Zara Tindall and son Peter Phillips were on the estate at the time, along with her husband Vice Admiral Sir Laurence. The King and Queen, and the princess’s siblings the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex, and nephew the Prince of Wales were notified on Sunday evening.

A local man said he saw the air ambulance land at 9.15pm last night and the police helicopter circled from around 9.23pm.

What is a concussion and how is it treated?

A concussion is classified as a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can occur from a blow or jolt to the head, or a body impact that causes the brain to shake within the skull. This sudden motion can trigger chemical changes in the brain and potentially stretch and damage brain cells.

uch injuries are common in various incidents, including falls, vehicle collisions, sports activities, and other situations where the head experiences abrupt force.

Symptoms of a concussion can vary widely and may not appear immediately. They can include:

Diagnosing a concussion typically involves a medical evaluation, which may include a physical exam, a review of symptoms, and sometimes imaging tests like a CT scan or MRI to rule out more severe brain injuries.

Treatment for a concussion primarily involves rest and a gradual return to normal activities. Key recommendations include:

He added: “I saw an air ambulance landing on her estate and I thought ‘oh my goodness, I hope it’s not Anne’. And then the police helicopter started circling about ten minutes later and I thought the worst.

“I thought something awful must have happened and I was worried a criminal might be on the loose, but the police helicopter was off pretty quickly. The air ambulance was on the ground for about 40 minutes I think – I’m not sure if it took her to hospital but didn’t look like it did as it flew off the other way. I really hope she’s going to be okay.”

The 73-year-old is considered The Firm’s hardest working royal based off the number of engagements she undertakes. Anne will now miss several engagements this week, including the state banquet for the Japanese State Visit on Tuesday and a visit to Canada. A Palace spokesman said: “On doctors’ advice, Her Royal Highness’s engagements for the week ahead will be postponed.

“Her Royal Highness sends her apologies to any who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result. The Japanese State Visit will go ahead as planned, though sadly Her Royal Highness will be unable to attend the State banquet tomorrow.”

The Princess is renowned for being a lifelong equestrian, with multiple horses resident at the Gloucestershire estate’s stables. She’s previously won a string of medals throughout a glittering equestrian sports career, including the 1971 European Championship title.

The King’s sister was also the first royal to compete in the Olympic Games in Montreal in 1976. As of 2020, she was listed as royal patron for 28 different horse and animal-related charities, according to Country Life.

In response to the Buckingham Palace statement, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: “Wishing Her Royal Highness a speedy recovery and sending my best wishes on behalf of all of us at the Labour Party.”

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: “Everyone in the country is immensely fond of Her Royal Highness. We’re all sending her our best wishes for a swift recovery.”

Harry and Meghan face new crisis with Netflix deal on brink of collapse: ‘Impossible to recover from’

The Sussexes are in danger of losing their massive deal with the streaming giant

Meghan Markel and Prince HarryLAPRESSE

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are desperate to keep their Netflix deal as it would be “impossible” for the couple to recover from the rumored collapse, according to a royal expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex put pen to paper on a huge $128 million mega contract with the streaming giant in 2020, just a few months after they announced they would be stepping down as senior working royals.

Prince Harry lookalike draws attention at Met Gala while helping Queen Latifah

The couple have since relocated to the United States and settled in Montecito, California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. However, they have left Netflix bosses and fans disappointed with the lack of new projects.

The duo featured in a docu-series, ‘Harry & Meghan’, which focused on their life behind-the-scenes as they embarked on a new chapter across the Atlantic. But the series received mixed reviews, as did Harry’s documentary ‘Heart of Invictus’, which followed the Duke of Sussex’s Invictus Games.

Reports suggest Netflix are considering ditching the five-year deal and royal author Tom Quinn has predicted they could struggle with the loss of earnings from the deal.

“Harry and Meghan are on the brink of losing their multi-million-dollar Netflix contract for the simple reason that Netflix expected a great deal more from the couple,” Quinn told The Mirror.

Harry and Meghan facing Spotify repeat

He claimed that Harry and Meghan’s humiliating split with Spotify, in which their contract was axed early over the lack of projects, has impacted the couple and they are desperate to avoid a similar outcome with Netflix.

“It’s very likely to be a repeat of the problem with the couple’s Spotify contract which came to an abrupt end in 2023 after Harry and Meghan failed, according to a Spotify spokesperson, to meet ‘productivity benchmarks’,” Quinn continued.

“It’s always been Meghan’s dream to build a hugely successful commercial enterprise and she is still convinced – even after the Spotify debacle – that she has the drive and talent to make this happen. The loss of the Netflix contract would be a major blow and one from which it would be all but impossible to recover.”

Princess Charlotte Was Having None of Prince Louis’ Nonsense at Trooping the Colour

Each year, Trooping the Colour honors the birthday of the reigning British monarch. The annual parade celebrated King Charles III on June 15, and the event was extra special because both he and Kate Middleton attended after they each announced a cancer diagnosis earlier this year. While fans were thrilled to see them, the royal kids ended up stealing the show.As a refresher, Middleton and Prince William share three children. Prince George, who turns 11 next month, is second in line to the throne. Then there’s Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. And during the 2024 Trooping the Colour, Princess Charlotte made it clear she was having none of her younger brother’s nonsense.

Prince Louis seemingly had a blast dancing on a balcony during Trooping the Colour.

On Saturday, Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis watched the procession from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards together from a balcony. The young royal was spotted dancing to the band’s music as they marched along. And a video of the moment has since gone viral on social media.

Princess Charlotte was not impressed with her brother’s dance moves.

In the clip, Princess Charlotte watched as Prince Louis shook his hips and grooved to the beat. She seemingly said something to her youngest brother in response. And although her words couldn’t be heard, her body language certainly suggested that she told him off.

On social media, royal fans loved the adorable moment.

One X user wrote, “Louis is always is the star of the show,” in response to his carefree dancing during Trooping the Colour.

Another person commented, “Isn’t Prince Louis the greatest. He is rock and rolling to the music. He is a free spirit. Full of life and loving every minute of it.”

Meanwhile, someone else wrote, “Louis honestly reminds me of the cheekiness Harry showed at the same age. Louis is definitely their ‘class clown’. I love it!!”

Princess Charlotte also reminded Louis to stand up straight.

Later, senior members of the royal family gathered on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the 41-gun salute and the Royal Air Force flyover. “God Save The King” played, prompting the royals to stand straight in honor of the nation’s anthem. Prince Louis required a reminder from Princess Charlotte to straighten up, but he got there.

Fans on X praised Princess Charlotte for her sisterly guidance.

On X, royal fans lauded Princess Charlotte for her sisterly reminder “Such a great big sister!” one person declared.

Another X user wrote, “Omg, that is the cutest thing ever! Charlotte looking out for her lil bro, sis goals for real love seeing the royal kids being so sweet together!”

Yet another fan commented, “They do have fun! I like how Kate laughs about Charlotte’s comments to her brother who ignores her.”

 

Duchess faces brutal 10-worded snub by Sophie Trudeau

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the former First Lady of Canada, recently made headlines when she distanced herself from Meghan Markle, whom she had previously described as a “dear friend.” During an interview with U.K. broadsheet The Times, Grégoire Trudeau’s response raised eyebrows and sparked curiosity.

Meghan Markle and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau were seemingly part of each other’s inner circles. In 2022, Markle appeared as a guest on Grégoire Trudeau’s Archetypes podcast, where they shared stories of laughter and bonding.

According to the book “Finding Freedom,” Meghan struck up a friendship with Sophie in 2016 after meeting her husband Justin, who had been serving as Canada’s prime minister since 2015, at the One Young World summit in Ottawa that year.

Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand assert: “They quickly became close through email correspondence. Meghan was intrigued to learn how Sophie navigated her transition from an entertainment news correspondent to a beloved First Lady, adeptly avoiding controversy.”

In November 2022, Meghan extended an invitation to Ms. Trudeau to appear on her Spotify podcast, Archetypes, where they discussed the trials of parenting and supporting partners such as Justin and Harry.

However, when asked about Meghan Markle in an interview earlier this year, Grégoire Trudeau’s tone shifted. She acknowledged knowing Markle but emphasized that they hadn’t spent much time together. “I know her… but we haven’t spent much time together.”

With Kate Middleton’s struggle, Grégoire Trudeau expressed sympathy for Princess Kate following news of her March 2024 cancer diagnosis. She revealed, “My heart just sunk when I saw that was happening.”

It remains unclear why Grégoire Trudeau chose to emphasize her distance from Meghan rather than their past closeness. Perhaps the complexities of royal friendships are more intricate than they appear.

After being exposed as an “addict,” Harry believes William was behind it, fearing he would obstruct his path to the throne

Prince Harry has revealed the moment when he was left ‘heartbroken’ and ‘horrified’ after a seven-page newspaper article accused him of having issues with substance abuse

Prince Harry revealed a difficult family moment when he claimed “lies” were printed about him that made his brother Prince William “even angrier” than he was.

The Duke of Sussex wrote about the heart-wrenching moment when his brother stood by him during a difficult time that left him struggling emotionally and seeking support from his elder sibling. He recounted how a seven-page newspaper article accusing him of substance abuse issues had left him shattered.

In his memoir titled ‘Spare’, Harry detailed the incident from January 2002 when he was splashed across the front page under the headline ‘Harry’s Drugs Shame’. He vehemently labelled the article as “lies”, stating that it not only portrayed him as a habitual drug user but also falsely claimed that he had recently been to rehab. He wrote that it “not only had me down as a habitual drug user, it had me recently going to rehab. Rehab!”

Harry claimed an editor “had got her mitts on some photos of Marko and me paying a visit to a suburban rehab centre, months earlier,” and he painted the visit as being “a typical part of my princely charitable work,” which the journalist had used and “repurposed the photos, made them visual aids for her libellous fiction.”

However, the journalist had misused these images to support her fabricated story, Harry claims. The distressed Prince recalled his reaction as he “gazed” at the photos and read the story “in shock”. He said: “I felt sickened, horrified, I imagined everyone, all my countrymen and countrywomen, reading these things, believing them.”

Harry revealed that he felt as though the entire Commonwealth was gossiping about him, a thought that left him deeply unsettled. He also suggested that his father, Charles, and future stepmother, Camilla, may have played a role in spreading these rumours, leaving him “heartbroken at the idea that this had been partly the work of my own family, my own father and future stepmother.”

He pondered over their possible involvement, questioning if they had “abetted this nonsense. For what? To make their own lives a bit easier? ” Harry then shared how he reached out to his brother William, who was unable to speak due to his own shock. Harry said he “phoned Willy, I couldn’t speak. He couldn’t either. He was sympathetic, and more.” Harry elaborated on the conversation further as he added: “At moments he was even angrier about the whole thing than I was, because he was privy to more details about the spin doctor and the backroom dealings that had led to this public sacrifice of the Spare.”

However, Harry confessed that William downplayed his distress, telling him that nothing could alter the past. He quoted William saying: “And yet, in the same breath, he assured me that there was nothing to be done. This was Pa. This was Camilla. This was royal life.”

The brothers’ relationship has since deteriorated, with reports suggesting they haven’t spoken for months.
