    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry US exit likely as Duchess ‘upset’ over Trump win

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex could be keen to move out of the US after Donald Trump’s election victory earlier this month.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be looking to move out of America as the Duchess is said to have been left “very upset” over Donald Trump’s election victory.

    The Duke, 40, and Duchess of Sussex, 43, have lived together in the US since stepping down as senior working royals in 2020.

    Speaking to GB News, Daily Mail Editor at Large Charlotte Griffiths said: “Meghan will be really upset to live in America with Trump as President.

    “She really viscerally disliked him and for many different reasons, and has said that he’s a misogynist live on television before. So she might want to leave America.”

    The couple reportedly recently purchased a new home in Portugal, which is where Princess Eugenie and her family typically split their time.

    Meghan and Harry are known to be close to Eugenie – who featured in their 2022 Netflix series ‘Harry & Meghan’ – and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

    It has also been suggested that by having a home closer to the UK, Meghan and Harry could visit Britain more frequently.

    As reported by GB News, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said: “This gives Harry and Meghan a foothold in the EU and a base near Britain.”

    It was previously reported that, following the first time Donald Trump was elected as president, Meghan “threatened” to stay in Canada.

    Meghan and Harry have had their fair share of run-ins with Trump over the years. Some experts reckon the couple faced a “worrying time” in the wake of the 78-year-old’s victory.

    Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield previously said on her Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered YouTube channel: “Newsweek said the election was likely hard for the Sussexes. It was Jack Royston who wrote the months leading up to the election day must have been a difficult time for the Sussexes spent watching from the sidelines in a race where it is clear who they want to win.”

    The couple currently reside in Monetcito, California with their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.

  • Prince Harry will make solo return to UK without Meghan Markle in weeks

    Prince Harry will make solo return to UK without Meghan Markle in weeks

    The Duke of Sussex’s barrister recently confirmed that his court case against News Group Newspapers is still active.

    Prince Harry is reportedly set to return to the UK in January 2025 for his ongoing court case against News Group Newspapers.

    The Duke of Sussex’s barrister recently confirmed last week that his court case is still live.

    Harry, who stepped down as a senior working royal in 2020, is involved in a legal battle against publishers of The Sun with a trail to take place in January.

    His barrister recently claimed that Harry “is one of two claimants whose claims are still live”. Over 30 others have reportedly settled with the publisher.

    Speaking of the royal’s upcoming visit, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that he believes Harry will travel to the UK alone – without his wife Meghan Markle.

    According to GB News, Mr Fitzwilliams said: “I think that will be done separately, there are several reasons why Meghan will not come to the UK at the moment.

    “It is perfectly obvious why, just look at the opinion polls. Of course, there is a rift with the Royal Family, there is no reason for her to come.”

    Meghan – who has been married to Harry since 2018 – has not stepped foot on UK soil since early September 2022, with their visit at the time for work commitments.

    The late Queen passed away on September 8, 2022, with the couple both in attendance at her state funeral on September 19, 2022.

    Harry has previously stated that he doesn’t feel safe bringing his wife and children to the UK due to fears over their safety.

    Prior to his reported trip in the new year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not set to join the Royal Family at Sandringham for Christmas.

    The royal has spent Christmas in the US with Meghan and their children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, in recent years.

  • BULLIES!? Prince Harry’s Mental Health Group Gets SLAMMED By Ex-Staff & Clients!

    BULLIES!? Prince Harry’s Mental Health Group Gets SLAMMED By Ex-Staff & Clients!

    PRINCE Harry’s mental health organisation has been branded “Toxic AF” by ex-staff and clients, who have alleged a “poisonous environment” behind the scenes. As accusations of hypocrisy and even bullying within the group emerge, the Duke of Sussex — who has in recent years become a high-profile and vocal champion of mental health issues — is now facing scrutiny that calls into question his bona fides as an advocate for change.

     

     

     

    Hearings have already highlighted a toxic work environment, as several ex-employees stepped forward to tell the story of the troubled organization. The insiders had painted a system where the work environment was anything but supportive with excessive bullying, comfortless reverse before complaints, and a lack of empathy from upper management. Some have even labeled the atmosphere as “bullying,” a bitter irony for a group meant to champion mental well-being.

    One ex-staff member described the culture as “incredibly high-pressure,” stating, “It felt like the values they promoted publicly were completely different from what we faced daily.” Others have echoed similar sentiments, accusing leadership of fostering an environment of fear and favoritism.

    ### Disillusioned Clients Speak Out

    Adding to the controversy, several former clients have also expressed disappointment with the services provided. They allege a lack of genuine care and follow-through, claiming the organization prioritizes its public image over real, meaningful support. “I felt like I was just another number,” one client revealed, “They promised help, but I felt abandoned when I needed it most.”

    ### A Blow to Harry’s Reputation?

    For Prince Harry, this controversy couldn’t come at a worse time. As a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, he has built much of his public image on championing causes related to emotional well-being. These accusations, if proven true, could severely undermine his credibility and call into question the authenticity of his commitment.

    Critics are already pouncing on the irony, pointing out that Harry has been quick to criticize the British royal family for perceived lack of support while allegedly failing to ensure his own organization lives up to its promises. Some royal watchers believe this could further strain Harry’s relationship with the public and his standing within the mental health community.

    ### Damage Control in Progress?

    In response to the mounting allegations, representatives for Prince Harry have remained tight-lipped, but sources suggest damage control efforts are underway. Insiders claim an internal investigation may be launched to address the complaints and restore the organization’s tarnished reputation.

    ### What’s Next for Harry?

    The road ahead could be challenging for Prince Harry as he navigates this scandal. Whether he can salvage his reputation and the credibility of his mental health advocacy remains to be seen. One thing is certain: this latest controversy has cast a long shadow over his efforts, and the world is watching closely to see how he responds.

    Will Prince Harry address these shocking allegations head-on, or will the weight of these claims prove too much for his already embattled image? Time will tell if the Duke of Sussex can weather this storm or if this marks a turning point in his public journey.

  • At 75, King Charles FINALLY Admits the Truth We All Suspected – World Left SHOCKED!”

    At 75, King Charles FINALLY Admits the Truth We All Suspected – World Left SHOCKED!”

    King Charles reflected on his life, his role as monarch, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind. Among his introspective remarks, the King openly confessed:

     

     

     

    “There were times when I doubted whether I was truly ready for the responsibilities that awaited me. Waiting so long for the crown was both a blessing and a burden.”

    This striking honesty about his prolonged wait to ascend the throne has sparked a wave of reactions. For years, critics speculated that Charles, often overshadowed by the enduring legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, might have felt uncertain about his ability to meet the expectations tied to the crown.

    Years in Waiting: A Unique Royal Experience

    As the longest-serving heir apparent in British history, Charles’ life has been shaped by a prolonged period of preparation and expectation. For over seven decades, he was groomed for a role that would only come after the passing of his beloved mother.

    While many viewed this as an advantage, the King admitted that it often left him feeling adrift. “There is no manual for how to wait, and you spend so much time wondering what your purpose truly is,” he revealed.

    Charles’ confession highlights the personal struggles of living under the shadow of a monarch as iconic as Queen Elizabeth II.

    “Mistakes Were Made”: Charles Reflects on the Past

    In a surprising turn, Charles also addressed some of the controversies that have followed him throughout his life. Without naming specifics, he acknowledged that his actions in the past may not always have aligned with public expectations.

    “I am not a perfect man. I’ve made mistakes, but I’ve always tried to act with the best intentions for my family and my country,” he said, seemingly alluding to both his personal and public challenges.

    From his tumultuous marriage to Princess Diana to his polarizing views on architecture and farming, Charles has often been a divisive figure. This rare moment of vulnerability has won him both praise and criticism, with some admiring his openness and others questioning the timing of his admissions.

    The Legacy He Hopes to Leave

    At 75, King Charles is focused on defining his legacy. Known as the “climate king,” he reaffirmed his commitment to sustainability and conservation, urging world leaders to prioritize action on climate change.

    “If there’s one thing I hope to be remembered for, it is that I never stopped trying to make the world a better place, even when it felt like no one was listening,” he declared.

    Charles also emphasized his dedication to maintaining the monarchy’s relevance in a rapidly changing world. Despite growing republican sentiments, he expressed optimism that the royal family could adapt and endure.

  • Prince Andrew Confirms Meghan Markle’s Yacht Girl Past in Shocking New Documentary

    Prince Andrew Confirms Meghan Markle’s Yacht Girl Past in Shocking New Documentary

    Prince Andrew Confirms Meghan Markle’s Yacht Girl Past in Shocking New Documentary
    The documentary, Harry: The Lost Prince, isn’t just another fluff piece—it’s the real deal. When I first heard that award-winning filmmaker Erie Grunwald was behind it, I knew this wasn’t going to be your typical royal documentary. This thing is going to shake things up.

     

    Here’s the behind-the-scenes scoop: this documentary was supposed to air months ago, but—surprise—it got delayed. And why would such a major network documentary need extra time for research? The official reason was “to ensure everything was legally sound,” but let’s read between the lines here. We’ve all heard those persistent rumors about Meghan’s past—whispers about her so-called “yacht girl” days. Well, now this documentary needs more time to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

    What’s really caught my attention is how meticulous these filmmakers are. They’ve been to California, New York, and even spoken with people close to the Sussexes. This team is leaving no stone unturned. When a production crew is taking this much care, you know they’ve found something big.

    We’ve all seen Meghan’s carefully crafted image over the years: the humanitarian, the actress, the Duchess. But what about the gaps in her history—those parts of her past that never quite fit into her public narrative? This documentary might just fill in those blanks, and oh boy, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Just as the Sussexes seemed to be regaining control of their narrative, this documentary is about to drop and potentially expose everything they’ve been trying to bury.

    Now, you remember how Meghan and Harry love to control their story, don’t you? They’re always talking about “their truth.” Well, it looks like someone else might be about to share a truth of their own. And I have a feeling these aren’t the kinds of truths they’ll be happy to see aired on prime-time German television.

    The network’s description is fascinating. They’re talking about the challenges post-Megxit, but reading between the lines, it’s clear they’re investigating some of the most controversial moments in recent royal history. I’m willing to bet they’re not just talking about that Oprah interview.

    But here’s the kicker—this documentary isn’t just about Harry. The focus on Meghan’s past is what’s getting all the legal vetting. If this was just about Harry, why the extra precautions? Why the delay? This makes it clear that the real juicy stuff revolves around Meghan.

    Word on the street from Montecito is that there’s some nervous energy coming from their camp. When you’ve got researchers combing through your past, interviewing neighbors, and tracking down anyone who knew you before you became Duchess, well… let’s just say, some people might be feeling a little uncomfortable.

    And here’s the kicker—this documentary is airing in Germany. Why is that important? German media is known for its strict journalistic standards and thorough fact-checking. If something makes it to air there, it’s been triple-checked. This isn’t some tabloid gossip or social media rumor; this is a professionally produced documentary that’s gone through serious legal checks. That’s why it could be so devastating.

    What’s also intriguing is how this documentary will address Meghan’s evolving reputation. That’s a polite way of putting it, right? Her image has shifted dramatically over the years—from a fresh face who was going to modernize the monarchy, to, well, where we are now. The filmmakers have emphasized their extensive research, and we all know that with thorough research comes the possibility of uncovering things that weren’t even on the radar. And sometimes, those unexpected discoveries are the most interesting.

    Let’s think about it: they delayed the release to ensure everything about Meghan’s past was legally sound—not Harry’s. That tells us exactly where the controversial content lies. And remember, this is coming from a respected filmmaker and network, not a gossip column.

    This documentary is setting itself up to explore the divide in public opinion about Meghan and Harry, but here’s the thing—public opinion isn’t just divided over their actions now. There’s a lot of curiosity about their pasts, particularly Meghan’s pre-royal life. These filmmakers have promised exclusive revelations, but this time, it’s not Meghan and Harry controlling the narrative—it’s independent researchers who’ve done their homework.

    This could be the missing piece to the puzzle. A documentary that takes its time, digs deep, and gets everything legally sound—especially about Meghan’s past—has to be significant. The contrast with the current royals couldn’t be starker: while William and Catherine focus on their duties with grace, and King Charles leads with dignity despite his health struggles, here we have this potential bombshell about to drop on the ones who chose to walk away.

    And you know what’s most fascinating? The total silence from the Sussex camp. Usually, they’re quick to send legal threats or spin things through their PR team, but this time?

  • King Charles laughs at comedian’s impression of Donald Trump at Royal Variety Show

    King Charles laughs at comedian’s impression of Donald Trump at Royal Variety Show

    The King seemed amused as he watched a comedian’s impression of Donald Trump at the Royal Variety Performance on Friday.

    Charles was seen laughing as British comedian Matt Forde poked fun at the US president-elect on stage at the Royal Albert Hall.

    Forde referenced the unfounded claims Mr Trump repeated during his presidential debate against Democrat candidate Kamala Harris earlier this year, that illegal immigrants from Haiti were eating locals’ pets in the small Ohio city of Springfield.

    Forde exclaimed in the president-elect’s voice: “They’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs!”

    He then turned to address Charles from the stage, saying in Mr Trump’s voice: “Your Majesty King Charles, you’re named after a spaniel – be very careful, they’ll eat you alive.”

    The King was seen laughing in response to the joke from the royal box.

    Charles arrived at the Royal Variety Performance alone, as Camilla stayed at home on doctors’ orders as she continues to fight a chest infection having fallen ill earlier this month.

    A palace spokesperson said Camilla had been advised by doctors to stay at home and rest as she continues to experience some lingering symptoms.

    A royal source said the Queen was “naturally disappointed to miss the evening’s entertainments, and sends her sincere apologies to all those involved, but is a great believer that ‘the show must go on’.

    “She hopes to be back to full strength and regular public duties very soon.”

    Charles received the posy of flowers meant for Camilla from eight-year-old Iris King-Taylor as he arrived at the event on Friday evening.

    The flowers were picked from the gardens of the Royal Variety charity’s nursing home Brinsworth House, in Twickenham.

    He greeted Sir Elton John on arrival, who is introducing his West End adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada starring Vanessa Williams, and told the King: “I’m very happy to be here.”

    The King also received the show’s programme from 10-year-old Louie Cooper before taking the stairs up to the royal box in the auditorium.

    Charles attended the show for the first time as patron of the Royal Variety charity, following in the footsteps of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.

    In a statement from Buckingham Palace, he said: “The charity’s crucial work in assisting those who have fallen ill, had an accident or hit hard times is as essential now as it ever has been.

    “I would like to thank all of those who have worked so hard to stage this year’s production and wish everyone a very enjoyable evening.”

    It is understood Camilla will remain in London on Friday and will then travel to Sandringham for the following week as planned.

    Camilla had been due to join the King at the event on Friday night which took place at London’s Royal Albert Hall and will feature performances from stars including Sir Elton John and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

    The Queen has appeared at several events after falling ill with the infection earlier this month but doctors have advised her that she should prioritise rest.

    Earlier this week, the Queen was praised for her “exceptional efforts” to advance literature as she received an honorary doctorate from her sister-in-law the Princess Royal.

    Camilla donned ceremonial robes as she was recognised for her long-standing promotion of literacy and literature during a ceremony at the University of London on Wednesday, where Anne has been chancellor since 1981.

    On Tuesday night, Camilla – who recently suffered the death of her beloved Jack Russell terrier, Beth – hosted a glittering white-tie diplomatic reception alongside Charles at the Palace.

    She also attended a Booker Prize reception with shortlisted authors at Clarence House last week before joining the King at a special reception at Buckingham Palace celebrating the TV and film industry, although she pulled out of the royal premiere of Gladiator II on the same night.
