A lot of individuals fantasize about being royalty, envisioning the perks that come with it and believing it to be the ideal lifestyle

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, on the other hand, chose a different path. They opted to leave their royal duties behind and relocate to California to begin a new chapter as a young family.

Although they have achieved great success with their relocation, it doesn’t imply that they are free from their own challenges. Among these challenges is the ongoing conflict within the royal family. However, the recent cancer diagnosis of King Charles and Kate Middleton might provide an opportunity for that rift to mend.

Harry and Meghan were famous for being part of the royal family before, but now they are recognized for their achievements. They have signed many profitable contracts, such as a $100 million agreement with Netflix and a four-book deal that could be valued at $20 million. It appears that they are continuously attracting opportunities

Despite their financial success, they have encountered difficulties since relocating to the United States. One of these challenges was depicted in a recent South Park episode, where they were satirized for their wish to maintain privacy. Megan Markle was displeased.

Prince Harry returned to the UK recently after receiving an invitation from Prince William and Kate Middleton. They requested that he bring his children, but Megan chose to remain in the United States. She was worried about the children’s safety and preferred not to be in a place where she felt unwelcome.

 

Now that Invictus is over, and we’ve seen dozens of photos and videos of the pair together, no one has changed their opinions regarding divorce watch.

 

There have been plenty of couples who put on the fake lovey-dovey image of a marriage right up until the announcement of a divorce. Charles and Diana kept the facade going for quite a while. Getting a divorce will come down to whether or not Meghan thinks she can make more money with Harry or without him. She absolutely needed to make a big appearance at the Invictus Games to try to wipe off the stench of the South Park episode, the car chase, and being dumped by Spotify.

There was no way she’d leave him before using him for that. Now she’s had a chance to parade in fans’ new clothes and behaviors, though she founded the games. Meghan tried to flirt with Harry during the events of Invictus, but Harry still looked unhappy despite his attempts to comply with a PR stunt. There were many moments when Harry was indifferent to Meghan, causing her to get lost in the crowd, and sometimes she jumped up and down to attract attention.

Recently, I saw some blind item reveals that make it quite obvious Harry’s very unhappy with Meghan. Sure, he poses for pictures and goes through the motions, but the bloom is all the way off of their relationship. Word on the street is that he fell for a beautiful humanitarian in Africa. But Meghan will never divorce him, though. He’s the narcissist’s fuel that feeds her existence. It remains to be seen if he’ll stick it out and merely survive. The source said that when the real love of his life ever walks into it, that man will be gone.

 

Meghan Markle seems to be trying to mend her broken relationship with Princess Kate, with one royal expert claiming she has “reached out several times”.

 

The Princess of Wales has been caught up in a Photoshop scandal after fans spotted “errors” with a sweet family snap she released on Mother’s Day. Kate smiled alongside her three children in the picture, but fans were convinced it had been altered and rushed to social media to share their theories.

Princess Kate then admitted to editing the snap and apologised for causing any “confusion”. Now, royal author Tom Quinn has said Meghan is using the chaos as her chance to reach out to Kate.

He told The Mirror: “Meghan has reached out several times via back channels to Kensington Palace in an attempt to see if there is any chance of getting on better terms with Kate. This is definitely partly because Meghan is genuinely worried about Kate’s health, but she also sees a chance to lose her permanently angry-at-the-royals image.”

However, it’s unclear whether Meghan’s attempts at a reunion will pay off. Tom explained: “Kate won’t want to be seen to rebuff these overtures, but she will be taking advice and the advice so far, I hear, is definitely – don’t take the risk.

“The feeling in Kensington Palace is that if Meghan’s attempts to extend an olive branch are welcomed, it will just re-open old wounds.” His comments come after another expert urged Meghan to speak out in defence of her sister-in-law.

 

In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that Sir Nicholas Soames, a close friend of Prince Charles, leaked the fabricated news of Meghan Markle’s pregnancy with Archie to the King.

 

Despite conflicting reports from both sides, claiming the King’s desire to extend an olive branch and Meghan’s wish for a harmonious relationship with Charles, it is clear that these statements hold no truth.

The royal family is currently grappling with a much bigger issue – the impending revelation of the use of surrogates.

This scandalous subject continues to plague the royals, who must find a way to handle it without implicating themselves in the deceit.

Understandably, there is a great deal of animosity within the family towards Meghan for repeatedly subjecting them to this immense mess, which has become a daily source of turmoil for the monarchy.

Everyone within the palace has their own ideas on how to address the situation.

MEGHAN MARKLE’S behaviour while a working senior member of the Royal Family has been skewered by Lady Colin Campbell, as she claimed the Duchess was “completely unmanageable and uncontainable”

“That when the song came on and everybody was to take their positions and dance to the tune, Meghan was out of line and high kicking when she supposed to be demure.

Meghan and Prince Harry stepped down as senior royal members at the beginning of last year, they have since moved across to Los Angeles where they are permanently residing with their two children Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, two, and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

Since then the couple has discussed the difficulties they faced while being active working members of the monarchy, particularly during their landmark interview with Oprah Winfrey back in March.

Lady Colin has previously spoken on Meghan and Prince Harry’s claim that a member of the Royal Family made a remark on Archie’s skin colour.

According to the blazing hot gossip echoing through the halls of Buckingham Palace, our departed Queen Liz made an unprecedented move by omitting a certain prodigal grandson from her multi-billion-dollar estate plans altogether.

Now, take a guess who’s been left out in the cold? Yes, none other than Prince Harry himself, not a single penny for the prince. Go ahead, grab your lavender sachet because this latest twist in the never-ending saga of the royal family is about to shock you to your core.

Sources close to the newly solidified King Charles Dynasty are whispering that our departed queen delivered a parting shot by explicitly excluding Harry from any share of her fabulous inherited fortune. Not a brass farthing, not a single trinket. Her message to her renegade grandson was crystal clear, a final, cutting rebuke that leaves no room for interpretation.

Can we blame the old bird? After enduring endless humiliations and stress caused by Harry and Meghan during her final days, who can blame her for wanting to preserve what remained of the family’s dignity? Picture the scene: as her time in this mortal realm drew to a close, our steadfast queen summoned a trembling estate lawyer to her bedside. With steely resolve, she made her wishes known, ensuring that her wealth would go to her remaining loyalists, while her rebellious grandson would receive nothing but a metaphorical slap in the face.

And really, could we expect anything less? Harry and Meghan, with their relentless public antics and self-imposed exile, had already severed ties with centuries of royal tradition. Did they truly expect a substantial inheritance to fund their new life of commercial ventures and celebrity hobnobbing?

Meghan Markle receives good news as she gears up for her next podcast venture

Meghan Markle’s financial dreams come true as Prince Harry risks ‘burnout’

Meghan Markle received good news as her financial dreams are set to come true but her husband Prince Harry’s prospects are not promising.

The Duchess of Sussex, as she gears up for her new podcast venture, can expect “luck and success” financially, with a promising deal to promote an entertainment destination.

The prediction was made by celebrity astrologer Inbaal Honigman, who also claimed that while Meghan’s future looks bright, Harry may need to take a step back.

As per The Express, Honigman shared her predictions for the mother-of-two, claiming, “Luck and success on the financial side, Meghan is offered a great financial deal for some very easy work of promoting an entertainment destination.”

However, she added that Harry, the Duke of Sussex, would have to take a break as he could suffer from “burnout” if he does not take a “step back.”

This good news for Meghan comes after she also launched her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard. She and Harry will also launch two upcoming TV shows for Netflix, one focused on cooking and other on polo.

At his lowest point, Olympic sprinter Iwan Thomas considered ending it all. He tells Margaret Hussey howa chance encounter with Prince Harry finally helped him open

I made a living out of being physically big, strong and mentally tough,” says Olympian Iwan Thomas. “But in reality I was falling apart inside. I couldn’t see a way out of theself-hatred and self-loathing.”

In 1997, at just 23, Welsh sprinter Iwan broke the UK 400m record with a time of 44.36 seconds, remaining unbeaten until 2022. He had the world at his feet but a series of setbacks and injuries dogged his career and led him to dark places. Now an advocate for talking openly about mental health, he wants to help others.

Iwan, 50, says: “Breaking that record, everything happened really quickly for me but also everything was taken away quickly. All sorts were coming my way, a Madame Tussauds’ waxwork, MBE, accolades left right and centre. I thought, ‘This is cool, I’ll have years left in me yet’.

“The reality was that that was as good as it was ever going to get. It then started to unravel and injuries set in. I was at a low place, it was horrible. I felt if I suddenly spoke out that I was struggling it would be, ‘Your rivals are now going to think you are not as tough as you say you are and won’t fear you on the track’. I couldn’t really show that side of me, the soft side.

“I always had to try to be the alpha male and the brash one who takes life in his stride.”

Iwan, who won silver at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 and gold at the World Championships in 1997, kept punishing his body, hoping he would regain his form. “Athletics was a lot of my identity. Without it I felt I had nothing.

“Would I be important? Would people still like me? Those are all insecurities that I had. I couldn’t let go of being an athlete and I should have retired way before I did. But I kept thinking my body could hold out. In the end it didn’t.”

In his autobiography, Brutal, Iwan writes very movingly about how he was left sobbing, numb, unable to get out of bed. During one of his darkest times, he took a bottle of whisky and walked to the Solent, looking into the water, wanting to disappear. “I think that was my lowest moment,” says Iwan. “If I had spoken to someone about it and shared my anxieties, I would have realised ‘You will be alright, don’t worry. Even if you are not an athlete any more, you will find your way and be OK.’ I’d say to myself now, ‘Put the bottle down, you idiot, go home and tell your mum and dad. They love you’.”

Instead, he was caught up in the self-loathing, thinking: Why me, why am I injured again? “It was horrible,” he adds. “Athletics is very black and white. The stopwatch doesn’t lie. You either run fast or you don’t, there’s no hiding place.”

Eventually, in 2011, he went for counselling. “I went for about a year. I felt I wasn’t really getting anywhere. I remember the counsellor saying, ‘One day it will click. Everything we spoke about will make sense to you’. And it did – about six months after going.”

Another turning point for him was meeting Prince Harry at an event with mental health charity Heads Together in 2016. “It was the weirdest thing. I was there flipping burgers with Prince Harry. I hadn’t ever really spoken about depression or dark times. I suddenly just opened up to him. It was very bizarre but because he was a stranger I felt I could talk to him. He’s been through so much himself, it was easy to talk to him. It opened that tin and allowed me to talk to other people.”

Iwan wishes he’d spoken about his mental health sooner, especially to his friends. “I felt if I went to them and said I’m struggling here, they might ask, ‘What have you got to feel sorry about? You’ve got a nice house, cars’, and all the materialistic rubbish that as a young man I was into. It gave a false picture of where I was at mentally. I felt they would judge me. It couldn’t have been further from the truth.

“It’s a bit of a blokey thing not to talk. But by bottling it up, you’ll feel worse. It doesn’t matter what you do for a living, whether you are a member of the Royal family or you drive a taxi. If depression is going to get to you, it’s going to get to you.”

Since retiring Iwan has carved out a successful career as a broadcaster and will be covering the Olympics this year. He also took part in Strictly in 2015, and says exercise remains key to his mental health. Describing himself as a “fairweather runner”, he goes to the gym at least four times a week. “It’s not just for the exercise, but for the companionship, to talk to other people.”

Being a father – he has three sons Teddy, five, Dougie, two, and Bowie, five months, with his partner – has changed everything too. “Having my boys has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love being a dad. It puts a lot into perspective. Having gone through the highs, which were amazing, and also the lowest of lows, has made me more reflective on life, more patient and a better person.”

King Charles’s reference to his young grandchildren highlighted the distance between him, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

King Charles’s speech at the state banquet to honour the visit from Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako made a touching reference to his grandchildren Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

While discussing his so-far unsuccessful attempts at fishing, His Majesty mentioned the Japanese cartoon-collecting phenomenon Pokémon, which has since spread all over the world.

He told the assembled guests: “I am only sorry to report that I haven’t had any better luck with more recent attempts at fishing. The Pokémon phrase ‘gotta catch ’em all’ may resonate with my grandchildren, but for me, it is, perhaps, aspirational.”

However, the mention of his grandchildren sadly emphasised the more distant relationship the King has with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Sussexes are currently based in Montecito, California, and although it is believed they speak to their royal grandfather on special occasions such as birthdays, they rarely travel to the UK to see him.

Lilibet, who was born in June 2021, has only met the King once, as she was born after Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals and moved to the US.

Her parents brought her and Archie over to London in June 2022 to help celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee, when they were able to meet with their great-grandmother, sadly for the last time.

Royal commentator and author Tom Quinn revealed to The Mirror that His Majesty is desperate to see more of his youngest grandchildren, with a possible trip to the United States planned.

He claimed: “Charles has had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future, and there is no doubt if it goes ahead he would build in time to visit his youngest son and his grandchildren, but there are mountains of planning to be overcome before that becomes even a remote possibility.

“King Charles has privately visited many other countries – he made an unpublicised visit to Transylvania for example to check up on his rental properties so it’s certainly possible that he would make a discreet private visit to Harry and the children in California.

“He is desperate to see them and hates the idea that Archie and Lili will not remember him as the warm, friendly grandfather he wants to be.”

Mr Quinn added that Harry could be looking for a UK base close to his father’s Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire, with some speculating that he misses life in Britain.

He explained: “Harry has spent a lot of time trying to work out what sort of UK base he might have. He has no experience of living in anything other than well-protected houses that are also well away from the public, so he has a huge problem. Every house he looks at has drawbacks.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex previously lived at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, but last year the King asked them to vacate the property for good.

A celebrity astrologer has predicted that Prince Harry will be needing to take a rest, while Prince William is good at striking a good work/life balance.

Prince Harry will shortly be needing to take a “step back” as he is “overworked and overthinking” and could be suffering from “burnout”, according to astrologist Inbaal Honigman.

She believes there seems to be good things on the cards for Meghan Markle, who has “luck and success” on her side as she lands a “great deal”.

Prince William too has been “busy”, but is able to make sure he has “time to enjoy his family” and “avoid burnout” like his younger brother.

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, Ms Honigman predicted for Harry: “Burnout. The Prince is overworked and overthinking, so he takes a step back and tries to commit to resting and recuperating.

“Harry desires to be independent and successful. He is spending this year coming up with directions and contacts that can get him there.”

June was certainly a busy week for the working royals, with Trooping the Colour, the Order of the Garter and the D-Day 80th anniversary all taking place recently.

The Duke of Sussex has also done a lot of travelling so far this year, visiting Canada, the UK, and Nigeria for events connected to his Invictus Games, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.

Meghan accompanied him on some of these journeys, however she has still not been back to the UK since September 2022 for the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

There is another big factor potentially stopping Meghan and their young children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from coming back to the UK, according to a royal commentator.

Cameron Walker said on GB News: “He [Harry] doesn’t feel his family is safe when they’re in the UK because they do not have police protection officers with the Metropolitan Police with him.

“So perhaps that is the main reason why Prince Harry isn’t bringing Meghan and Archie and Lilibet over to the UK because he can’t guarantee, he would say he can’t guarantee their safety.”

Prince Harry lost his right to the same level of royal security his working family members get when he and Meghan stepped down as working royals, and despite his best efforts, it has not yet been restored.

As Ms Honigman explained, Prince William has had a busy few weeks attending royal events, including supporting King Charles during the Japanese State Visit last week.

However, he will soon be taking some time off to be with his children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis during their summer holidays, as he and Princess Kate do every year.

The Princess has yet to make her full-time return to royal duties as she is still undergoing treatment for cancer.
