VICTORIA Beckham has been forced to tighten her designer belt as her fashion empire continues to flounder.

Posh, whose firm recently recorded losses of more than £12million, is taking drastic measures to save cash.

She has been told she can no longer employ a chauffeur, meaning she has to drive herself to work or take a taxi.

 

And from next year her HQ in Hammersmith, West London, will no longer be decorated with scores of plant pots.

Two of the former Spice Girl’s aides, communications director Jo Milloy and head of brand PR Ruth Davies, have also quit.

In another desperate measure, Victoria, 45, has even offered to take a pay cut as she battles to save the business.

A store insider said: “Things are going from bad to worse for poor Posh.

“The chauffeur has gone, she’s now driving herself or getting Addison Lees, and the designer plants are on the way out as their upkeep is too dear.

“Victoria is gutted but she’s put everything into her fashion empire and won’t give up without a fight.”

A Companies House report last month showed the firm had recorded a £12.2million loss for the previous year — bringing losses over 11 years to £42million.

Victoria launched her fashion line in 2008. It was initially known for its dresses but over time expanded into handbags and separates.

At her first ever London Fashion Week show last year, she rushed to kiss her family as they proudly supported her on the catwalk.

However in 2016, husband David, 44, was forced to bail his wife out after her business was swamped with costs of almost £38 million.

It left her brand with a £3.8million deficit for 2014 despite a turnover of £34million.

David stepped in with £5.2million after Victoria spent £2,854,091 setting up an architect-designed shop in Mayfair, central London.

Last month, it was revealed Victoria’s fashion empire had lost £12 million in 2018, with losses of £42 million over 11 years since it launched.

It is thought former Manchester United ace and England captain David has poured in £23million over three years to prop up his wife’s dream.

In the past, Victoria Beckham Limited has been supported by other Beckham businesses. But annual accounts for their joint empire, Beckham Brand Holdings, which controls all their separate companies, has suffered its first-ever loss — £1.6million in 2018.

The previous year it had a net profit of £12.3million.

Profits at DB Ventures have halved in a year, from £23.3million in 2017 to £11.5million in 2018.

One financial expert told The Sun: “This will be hugely embarrassing for the Beckhams as it indicates they don’t quite have the same pulling power as they once did.

“If a regular company saw its profits more than halve, it would be a major crisis.”

VICTORIA Beckham has suffered another setback with the loss of two more key aides — taking the total to six.

Posh’s long-standing fashion adviser Natalie Lewis has handed in her notice, while interim personal publicist Bella Blenkinsopp is also off.

Bella, who is also David Beckham’s head of communications, has spent two months working for Victoria but has been poached by video sharing service Tik Tok.

 

The pair’s departures come amid ongoing business woes for the designer, 45 and follow the resignations of senior execs Jo Milloy, Ruth Davies, Flo Shippey and Nadine Gough.

A source said: “It’s a body blow for Victoria.

“She has always prided herself on running a tight ship but she’s been unable to persuade some of her most valued members of staff to stay put.

“It’s been a difficult few months, and the last thing Victoria wants people to think is that she’s running a sinking ship.

 

“She still has some top talent in her team, and is determined this won’t affect morale.

“She hopes to get things back on track now.”

 

Four months ago a Companies House report showed Victoria’s fashion empire had recorded a £12.2million loss for the previous year, taking losses over 11 years to £42million.

As a result, she has had to make a number of job cuts.

She was told she can no longer employ a chauffeur — meaning she has to drive herself to work or get a taxi.

Her West London HQ was also instructed to stop using expensive designer plant pots.

Last year the mum of four was blasted for giving top jobs to Europeans — despite her OBE for services to British fashion.

BROOKLYN Beckham is in line to marry model Nicola Peltz in St Paul’s Cathedral.

Parents David, 45, and Victoria, 46, are entitled to enquire about the landmark as a potential venue for their son’s nuptials because they are OBEs.

If Brooklyn, 21, and US actress Nicola, 25, were to choose St Paul’s — where Prince Charles and Diana Spencer married in 1981 — it would not be until 2022 at the earliest as there is a waiting list.

The couple, who got engaged in July, are also expected to have a Jewish blessing in America to please her billionaire dad.

A source said: “David and Victoria are aware Brooklyn can get married at St Paul’s. They are overseeing their British wedding and want to make sure it has the wow factor for Nicola’s family.

“If they went ahead, the wedding would have real gravitas and set the benchmark for what comes later in America.

“Brooklyn and Nicola are weighing up their options.

“A wedding at St Paul’s has to include at least one Bible reading and contemporary music is banned so they would have to have something traditional.

“Plus St Paul’s is open to the public so they would have a lot of people milling around. Also, there’s a long waiting list so it would be 2022 before they could go ahead, at the earliest.”

Weddings at the cathedral take place in the Chapel of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in the crypt.

Applications to marry there must be made through the Archbishop of Canterbury, who grants a special licence.

It costs £3,240 for a ceremony with an organist, plus £325 for the licence.

Musicians and recordings of the ceremony start from £1,000 each. The overall basic cost would exceed £5,000.

Charles and Diana walked down the aisle at St Paul’s in front of 3,500 guests.

It was an anomaly as royals usually get married at Westminster Abbey.

In 2006, Jasper Carrott’s daughter Lucy Davis, 47 — who played receptionist Dawn in The Office — wed Welsh actor Owain Yeoman, 42, at the cathedral.

Wheelchair basketballer and TV presenter Ade Adepitan, 47, tied the knot there with Linda Harrison in August, 2018.

And Tom Cruise was shooting a Mission: Impossible movie in the cathedral when Kirsten Hulatt married Nicholas Reader at St Paul’s in February 2018.

Filming was suspended for the ceremony and Tom, 58, posed for snaps with the couple.

The Beckham’s spokeswoman declined to comment on their wedding plans.

DAVID Beckham has posted a shocking picture of his leg – with 25 needles sticking out of it.

But there’s no need to worry about the former footballer’s wellbeing as he was simply indulging in an acupuncture session.

The treatment is derived from traditional Chinese medicine and involves micro-needles inserted into the body’s pressure points to stimulate the self-healing process and regulate the flow of the body’s energy or qi.

 

Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat chronic pain but practitioners claim that it is good for treating everything from depression to migraines and fertility issues.

Taking to his Instagram Stories last night, David shared a photo of his shin and calf covered in cooper needles while lying on a white towel-covered bed.

Captioning the shot, the sports star joked: “Here he goes again. Thanks James @jamesdhealth”.

It’s not the first time the 45-year-old has shared his acupuncture session, having previously sworn the treatment is the “one thing” that repairs his muscles after working out.

Last week, the former England captain praised osteopath and acupuncturist James Davies, who was the Great Britain team therapist at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, as he shared another shot of his needle-covered leg.

“The one thing that repairs me after a hard week of working out
acupuncture @jamesdhealth THE MAN,” he enthusiastically penned.

Elsewhere, it was reported that David is earning more as a FIFA 21 ‘icon’ than he did as a player.

David will now appear as an ‘icon’ on the FIFA series

The football star, who has a reported £339million fortune, has agreed a three-year deal to appear in EA Sports’ football series, starting with this year’s release.

Becks, 45, appears on the cover of his very own ‘Beckham Edition’, with Kylian Mbappe adorning the front of the regular edition of the game.

According to the Mirror, Beckham was initially offered £30million over three years to appear in the game.

But this figure has subsequently been negotiated up to £40million.

Becks earned around £100,000-a-week at Manchester United
A source said: “It is a big addition to the Beckham brand and the easiest money he’s ever made.”

Beckham earned around £100,000-a-week while playing for Manchester United in the early 2000s.

And he pocketed a similar amount after signing a five-year, £25million deal with LA Galaxy in 2007.

But he will now earn more from his FIFA deal alone than he did for playing, with the overall haul coming to around £256,000-a-week.

Upon the announcement, Beckham joked that he would now be considered a ‘cool dad’ by his kids.

He wrote on Instagram: “FIFA21… Can’t wait to see myself back on the pitch playing with some of my old team mates!

“Maybe @romeobeckham and @cruzbeckham will think I am a cool dad now 😂 @easportsfifa #FIFA21”.

 

DAVID BECKHAM has explained that his new franchise Inter Miami FC wanted “something different” for their team crest having been trolled by some for the design.

The England legend took a load of stick of social media following the release of the new badge that involves two herons.

Fans also questioned the name of the club with one describing it as “something a 9-year-old would come up with.”

Another joked: “Pretty sure I’ve come up against a 5-a-side team called Inter  Miami playing Powerleague before.”

The badge was created by designer Kimou Meyer who revealed the process took a whopping three years from start to finish.

In a video released by Inter  Miami’s official Twitter page, Beckham admitted that he wanted to “gravitate to the old South American crests” and it was something “that really needed to go into the logo.”

He added: “Once I met Kimou, I knew they were the right people to work with. I knew that creatively, they would come up with something different.”

Kimou claimed that Beckham “liked the idea of a monogram-inspired mark with a symbol that would represent the club.”

And so they came up with two herons standing back-to-back with their legs forming an ‘M’ shape – symbolising  Miami.

The herons represent the city who migrated from South America to stay in  Miami.

 

Inter Miami will head into their debut MLS season in 2020 and reports claim that Beckham wants Lionel Messi to part of their history.

The Barcelona superstar is under contract until June 2021 but will be 33 at the time.

Beckham’s huge profile and contacts in the game may give him the resources to secure a previously unheard of deal.

THE BECKHAMS needn’t feel too glum at the end of what has sometimes been a turbulent year.

Figures slipped out just before the festive break reveal David and Victoria can celebrate plenty of business success, despite rumours of marital disputes and struggles at her fashion firm.

David’s business ventures have done particularly wellCredit: Getty Images – Getty
Beckham Brand Holdings raked in £47million profits for the last financial year, way up on the previous year’s earnings of £21million. The business — a parent company for various other ventures — also boasts a hefty £21million in cash reserves.

So it could be a very merry Christmas after all for the couple. Alongside David and Victoria, the company’s third shareholder is XIX Management, controlled by long-time business partner Simon Fuller, former manager of the Spice Girls.

Each of the trio got a hefty payout of £18.75million — just about enough, perhaps, to make Posh crack a smile.

The payouts come on top of David’s other business Footwork Productions, which paid the former England skipper a £5.8million dividend for the past 12 months. That was DOWN by £7million from the year before.

Victoria’s fashion empire has struggled in recent yearsCredit: Splash News
Earlier figures show Victoria’s fashion firm had suffered a major financial hit, however, losing £10.2million in the last financial calendar — on top of an £8.2million loss a year earlier.

Those losses took her total deficit since 2013 to more than £30MILLION. But the 44 pages of new paperwork don’t dwell on that for long.

Instead, the document insists the group’s main objectives were achieved, adding: “In November 2018, Victoria Beckham was honoured with the Fashion Icon Award at the E! People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles and was nominated British Designer of the Year (Womenswear) at the 2018 British Fashion Awards.”

Maybe Posh should be known as No-Dosh instead.

Special tree-t for Una

UNA Healy has given herself the perfect Christmas present after moving on from cheating ex-husband Ben Foden with her new love. The Saturdays singer announced her romance with physiotherapist David Breen yesterday as the perfect-looking new couple posed in front of a Christmas tree.

13

Una and new beau David Breen look like they make a great couple
She told her 605,000 followers on Instagram: “I have tried to hide him but he’s too tall.”

Her relationship comes four months after the breakdown of her six-year marriage to rugby star Ben, who was accused of having a fling with PR girl Becky Milne behind Una’s back.

In August Ben revealed his divorce from Una on dating app Bumble, stating in his bio that he was looking for a partner who is not “uptight and bossy.”  Now the deluded sportsman will be wishing he never played away as Una looks beyond smitten with David – who, like Una, is from Ireland.

Ben is to appear on BBC1 singing show All Together Now Celebrities tonight alongside former Love Island winner Amber Davies and This Morning’s showbiz reporter Alison Hammond.

Mud’s Lonely This Christmas would be a suitable song choice.

BROOKLYN Beckham’s relationship with model Hana Cross won’t be as long-lasting as his parents’ marriage, especially if his dad David gets his way.

The ex-England footballer, has staged an intervention — freezing her out of the family fold and asking his son to spend more time on his own with the family.

He grew tired of their antics after the young couple had a public spat which saw them “screaming and crying” at the Cannes Film Festival a fortnight ago.

A source close to the family said: “David’s got a tight bond with Brooklyn and it’s been worrying for him and Victoria to watch him arguing with Hana. They’ve been so up and down these past few weeks and David wants Brooklyn to have a serious think about whether he’s got a future with her.”

Since they started dating last December, Brooklyn and Hana have had several public rows in London and Los Angeles – and have split a few times before rekindling their romance.

David and Victoria, who celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary next month, have spent the past week on holiday with Brooklyn, Cruz, Romeo and Harper in Miami. But while Hana is also in the US, she didn’t feature in the family’s cosy social media pictures.

The source added: “David has asked Brooklyn to spend more time with them all in a bid to get inside his head and help him. He knows that young love can be tough but he doesn’t want these public slanging matches to become a regular theme. Rather than interfering he’s trying to play it cool and just give Brooklyn some advice.

“But it seems pretty clear to everyone around him that David isn’t Hana’s biggest fan right now.”

Since Hana’s relationship first hit the skids, she’s been spending less time with the famous clan and even missed out on David’s 44th birthday celebrations last month.

I don’t think Victoria needs to buy a hat just yet.

Madge album review

WITH just ten days to go until her first album in four years, Madame X, anticipation is mounting for Madonna’s return.

I’m no expert when it comes to the Queen Of Pop so I sent Bizarre’s pop supremo Howell Davies to take a first listen of the full record to see if it lives up to the hype . . .

11

Madonna’s will release her new album in ten days
SAY what you like about Madonna – she’s never boring.

In an industry which is quickly becoming devoid of personality, she has returned with her most diverse and out-there record ever.

Madame X sees Madge sing in Portuguese on a handful of the tracks including the upbeat Crazy and Bitch, I’m Loca, on which she teams up with Maluma again.

And she’s as cheeky as ever on the tune, which ends with her telling the Reggaeton star: “You can put it inside.”

Dark Ballet features a high-octane reimagining of the Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy while she addresses under-fire minority groups in Killers Who Are Partying.

I Don’t Search I Find harks back to the Nineties with an ambient trance beat, which is totally different from God Control and Come Alive, which feature vocals by Tiffin Children’s Choir, from South West London.

This collection could easily have felt like a clash of cultures gone too far, but there’s very little she can’t turn her hand to.

It’s ultra-contemporary, packed with variety and totally unlike anything she has done before.

Just like she did in 1998 with Ray Of Light, this is Madonna’s reinvention.

Praising their achievement, Niall Horan said: “What incredible men these two are. I’ve been working with Richard and Harry for nearly ten years and if it wasn’t for them I don’t know if we all would have had half of the success we did.

“They are like my uncles. We’ve been all over the world together, laughed together, cried together at times, but most importantly had many great nights on the wine together.

“I’d do anything for these men and I can comfortably say that they would do the same for me.”

It was just ahead of Mark Ronson and Camila Cabello’s new collaboration Find U Again, which was at No39.

But it’s Katy Perry who is set for the highest charting new entry of the week, with comeback tune Never Really Over at No11 after three days of release.

Coke joke’s hit bad note for Robbie

OF all the things Robbie Williams could do to honour his son Charlie, his own idea would probably horrify most.

The former drug addict, who already has more than 30 tattoos, has revealed he wants to get an inking of a rolled-up bank note as a reference to cocaine – for which Charlie is a slang term.

But I doubt his wife Ayda Field would be impressed.
It wouldn’t be the first fuss Rob has caused over a tatt – he has also admitted upsetting Louis Tomlinson’s girlfriend Eleanor Calder when he messed up a design he inked on Louis’s forearm during the last series of The X Factor.

The lads were meant to give each other matching X’s but Louis said his looked more like a religious cross and he moaned at how deep Robbie stuck the tattoo gun into his arm.

Speaking on his video blog, Vloggie Williams, Robbie said: “I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t mean to be not gentle on purpose. And then I got in trouble with his girlfriend like, ‘What have you done to my boyfriend?’ I think it looks ace.”

Maybe don’t quit your day job, Rob.

THE Mighty Hoopla festival will feature the largest ever group karaoke this Saturday. Tickets are still on sale for the event at south London’s Brockwell Park, which features Chaka Khan, Samantha Mumba and Tove Lo.

David Beckham’s little girl is growing up fast.

The retired soccer pro, 48, shared a sweet black-and-white photo of himself and daughter Harper Seven, 12, on his Instagram on Friday, April 12. Wearing a suit and bow tie, the proud dad leans into his daughter, who wears a strapless dress and gives a soft smile.

“My little girl is growing up 🥹 boys get ready @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham 🥊,” Beckham wrote in his caption, tagging his three sons. “@victoriabeckham good job mama 🤍.”

David shares Harper and sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 19, with wife Victoria, 49.

Victoria and David Beckham Celebrate Easter on a Yacht with Kids Harper, Cruz and Brooklyn and His Wife Nicola

In July, David and Victoria celebrated their daughter’s 12th birthday in the chicest way possible — with a trip to the Prada Caffè in Harrods department store in London.

“Harper Seven is 12!! (almost) @Prada party for Harper Seven💕CHIC!!, “ Victoria wrote on Instagram as she shared a series of snaps from the elegant party. The fashion designer tagged her husband David, and sons Romeo and Cruz Beckham, who also joined them.

David also posted several photos from the birthday bash as he celebrated his daughter turning 12. “@harrods Start of the birthday celebrations HarperSeven @prada,” he wrote one snap of the birthday girl. “My Birthday Girl” he captioned another photo of himself with the preteen.

In December, David took his daughter Harper to New York City, posing for photos at the Beam at Rockefeller Center, an attraction that lets guests recreate the iconic 1932 photo, “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper.”

Father and daughter also stopped for a bite at Katz Deli while taking in all the city has to offer. “Fun few days in NYC  #HarperSeven ❤️,” he captioned photos shared on Instagram.

He’s never shied away from copying his dad’s famous looks.

And Romeo Beckham took inspiration from his famous father David yet again by sporting a bandana during a night out at Chiltern Firehouse in London on Saturday.

The footballer, 21, wore a satin patterned bandana recreating his dads iconic noughties look, 25 years after the former England footballer rocked it.

Romeo cut a cool figure in a grey hoodie which boasted teddy bears on the front as he was seen partying at the private members club.

He teamed the casual outfit with a pair of oversized denim patchwork jeans and donned a pair of chunky white trainers.

The Brentford footballer seemed in good spirits as he donned a teeth grill and a gold earring.

Romeo, who later tied his bandana around his pocket, was spotted chatting away to a mystery girl outside the celebrity hotspot.

The brunette beauty flashed her smile as the pair talked while Romeo was seen at one point covering his face with his hands.

David originally rocked the bandana look while attending a party hosted by Jade Jagger with Victoria in 1999.

Spice Girl and fashion icon Victoria has also worn several bandanas during the early years of her career.

Romeo appears to be taking style notes from his famous dad in more ways than one, as he debuted an eye-catching pink buzzcut last Wednesday.

David is known for being a style chameleon when it comes to hair and sported the buzz cut look back in 2000, before revisiting it in 2004, 2008 and as recently as this year.

Taking to Instagram, Romeo shared some photos of his own take on the classic hairstyle.

He wore a baggy grey T-shirt with long white sleeves teaming it with a pair of blue denim jeans.

He struck up a pose for the camera and captioned the street snaps with: ‘Pink time.’

It comes after Romeo’s on/off girlfriend Mia Regan sparked speculation she’s moved out of their love nest after she was seen moving boxes into a pad in east London last month.

The model, 21, announced she had moved in with her boyfriend Romeo earlier this year when she referred to the footballer as her ‘roomie’ in a social media post.

However they revealed they had split up just weeks later after five years together, as they both shared statements online declaring they were now just friends.

But the couple then set tongues wagging when they were spotted holding hands and looking loved-up on a date night the following month.

While their relationship status is unclear, it now seems Mia has moved into her own place after she was seen unpacking in trendy Dalston.

Since then, Mia has shared a series of snaps from the new place on her Instagram page, giving fans a look inside her kitchen and bathroom.

Mia may have moved in with friends judging by the three plates which were set up at breakfast time, laden with toast, eggs and beans on her a kitchen work surface.

The white cabinets and stainless steel tops were a hint Mia have moved house, as snaps of Romeo’s kitchen revealed concrete worktops and a tiled splash back.

Mia hinted she was on the move when she shared a picture of a cardboard box full of crockery, including egg cups and a mugs.

The green-fingered star also picked up some new plants for her home, proudly posing with some greenery on her page.

Mia also appears to have taken her sausage dog with her to the property, as she shared a snap of the longhaired dachshund snoozing on her.

Earlier this year, Mia and Romeo revealed they had flown the family nest as they kicked off 2024 with a new chapter in their relationship.

The couple moved out of the Beckhams’ £31m home and into an apartment together.

Taking to Instagram Romeo shared a snap of their new apartment as he showcased the impressive living space.

The footballer stood in the middle of the reception room which boasted a stylish wooden floor, bright white spotlights and white painted walls.

While the location of the flat is unknown, Romeo and Mia seemed to have moved into an apartment in Battersea as views from Mia’s Instagram suggested the pair can see the Power Station from their window.

Romeo and Mia started dating in May 2019, but it wasn’t until a year later that Mia first appeared on Romeo’s Instagram when they made their relationship ‘red carpet official’.

The pair then sadly parted ways in July 2022 after a three-year romance, with Romeo deleting all traces of Mia from his Instagram.

But just four months later, Romeo hinted at their reconciliation with a conveniently-cropped photo where he received a kiss on the cheek from a mystery love interest.

He then finally confirmed that they had rekindled their romance as they were both seen on a night out with their friends to celebrate Mia’s 20th birthday.

Romeo also gushed over the ‘gorgeous’ model on her big day by sharing some old shots in a sweet birthday tribute.

During their brief time apart, Mia stayed friendly with his family and even collaborated with his mother Victoria Beckham on her self-titled fashion brand.

It is believed that the toll of a long-distance relationship and their conflicting work schedules ultimately contributed to the break-up with Romeo pursuing a football career in Miami, Florida.

And Romeo reportedly ditched his football career in the US after he and Mia struggled with a long-distance relationship.

The football star decided to permanently join the west London side Brentford B over his father’s club Inter Miami CF II – as he rekindled things with his beloved girlfriend.

They announced they had split again in February 2024 before being pictured hand-in-hand just weeks later.

A ROYAL expert has said Prince Harry’s behaviour towards the Royal Family has been “appalling” and it’s “time he realised that”.

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards MBE told Matt Wilkinson, host of The Sun’s new show Royal Exclusive, that King Charles was “very upset” with Harry’s decision to write his bombshell book Spare.

In both his book and well-publicised interviews with ITV and CBS, Harry has accused his stepmother Queen Camilla of leaking details of her first meeting with Prince William.

Harry also claimed in Spare that his brother Prince William allegedly attacked him and labelled Meghan “difficult” and “rude”.

Sun photographer Arthur has now said that King Charles may not “easily forgive” Harry for deciding to go ahead with the book, and it’s time the prince “realised” that his behaviour has been “appalling”.

He said: “I remember going working with [Harry], he was fantastic, he was just amazing, and he was – especially with children, he was absolutely brilliant.

“And I travelled the world with him and I did really enjoy working with him, but you know, now, I really don’t care if I have to see him again.

“Because the way he has behaved towards the King, our Queen, and his brother and his sister-in-law is appalling.

“And I just feel it’s about time he realised that.”

Harry made a series of bombshell allegations in Spare, including that William “attacked” him in a row over Meghan Markle.

He also claimed that he called his therapist instead of Meghan after the confrontation with his brother.

Harry wrote that Charles had pleaded with Harry and William not to “make his final years a misery”.

And the Duke of Sussex claimed William and Kate Middleton encouraged him to wear the infamous Nazi uniform.

The bombshell book accidentally went on sale early in Spain – and The Sun acquired one of the first copies.

Royal photographer Arthur added: “[Harry] is behaving, sometimes, I think, appallingly.

“Certainly some of the things he’s said about members of the Royal Family, and Camilla, and Catherine, and his brother.

“I think you just don’t do that with family, you know?

“Family’s the most important thing in your life and you do everything to keep the family together and at peace.

“I imagine the King’s unhappy with Harry being around people where he could learn stories and hear gossip and put it in his next book or his next podcast or next radio or TV interview and it looks like he’s well informed.

“Of course the King felt very upset with that last thing Harry did, the book, especially what he said about his lovely wife Camilla.

“Because, I mean, they’re a very loved-up couple and you know, to offend our Queen, like he did in that book, you know, really upset the King.

“I don’t think he could easily forgive that. And I imagine the King’s had strong words with him over it.”

How ‘Megxit’ shook the Queen’s final years

By Matt Wilkinson

THROUGHOUT her reign and service, the Queen’s role was chiefly head of state while the Duke of Edinburgh was left to be head of the family.

But when Prince Harry and Meghan revealed on Instagram they were quitting royal duties to live in America, it was a crisis that required the Queen to be both.

At a hastily convened summit at Sandringham in January 2020 her decision was swift and final; the Sussexes can leave the family business but not have the trappings that come with being royal.

The wantaway couple were told there was no “half-in, half-out” role and that they could not have their cake and eat it as they were wished good luck in their new life.

In her statement the Queen thanked them for their “dedicated” work saying she was “particularly proud of Meghan”.

She added: “It is my whole family’s hope that today’s agreement allows them to start building a happy and peaceful new life.”

This new beginning was anything but peaceful for the Queen. Because although the couple had quit royal service, they remained in the family.

As one palace insider put it: “They might no longer be working members of the Royal Family but they are not in exile.”

Leaving royal life and service to the crown and state was never a consideration or choice for the Queen. She was catapulted into succession when her uncle Edward VIII quit royal service to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson in 1936.

Seeing the impact on her father scarred the Queen’s early years but she rose to dedicate herself to a life of service.

So in her mid-90s — forced to isolate in Windsor Castle as Covid-19 raged — the Queen was asked to step up and deal with this cross-Atlantic family crisis, again and again and again.

Throughout the pandemic there was the overriding national feeling that Harry and Meghan would be best served in the UK by supporting the Royal Family rather than firing increasingly bitter pot-shots from across the pond.

When the one-year review came round, The Queen acted as both head of state and head of the family when the couple said they would not return.

Meghan was stripped of her patronages. Harry’s honorary military titles were formally removed.

They were relieved as President and Vice-President of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust after claiming the former Empire “must right the wrongs” of the past.

In her final Megxit statement the Queen explained: “Following conversations with the Duke, the Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of the Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service.

“While we are all saddened by their decision, The Duke and Duchess remain much-loved members of the family.”

The Duke of Sussex responded to the final Megxit deal — struck with Prince Philip in hospital — with an incendiary retort.

Their spokesman said: “As evidenced by their work over the past year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world, and have offered their continued support to the organisations they have represented regardless of official role.

“We can all live a life of service. Service is universal.”

Harry had initiated the review two months early because the couple wanted to tell “their truth” to Oprah Winfrey. The “tell-all” chat which aired days after the swapping of Megxit statements sent shockwaves around the world.

The couple alleged there was a racist in the Royal Family and claimed Meghan’s mental health concerns were ignored.

Astonishingly, the Queen was not told about what was planned, as palace insiders revealed “as non-working members of the Royal Family they are under no obligation to inform the Royal Household of such plans”.

Faced with an onslaught of accusations, many later proven to be untrue, the Queen waited more than 38 hours to respond publicly. She ordered a private family-led probe into the claims but tellingly, issued these words: “Some recollections may vary”.

She kept it civil by saying the Sussexes remain “much-loved family members”.

A source close to the Queen said: “She is not angry, she is just sad. They have always worried about him and the Queen feels very protective about him (Harry).”

Two months later Harry went further on a mental health podcast, blasting his upbringing saying he wanted to “break the cycle” of pain caused by his father.

This felt a more personal attack on the Queen, Charles and the whole Royal Family.

Faced with overwhelming public sympathy, coming after the shock and horror of the first Oprah interview, and grieving the loss of her husband, she stayed silent.

Just a few years earlier the Queen had welcomed divorcee Meghan into the fold and issued an Instrument of Consent for their May 2018 wedding saying she was “delighted for the couple”.

She gifted Meghan a set of pearl earrings and a necklace for her engagement and presented Frogmore Cottage to the couple.

The pair shared a tender moment when the Queen placed a blanket on Meghan’s knees on their first joint-engagement together in Cheshire. Meghan later told Oprah: “The Queen has always been wonderful to me.”

An insider said: “She was understanding that Harry and Meghan wanted out but it could not come at the detriment of the whole family.”

Because stepping away from royal life has never even crossed the Queen’s mind during her reign. She remembered only too well the huge toll that Edward VIII’s abdication had on her own father and the Royal Family.

When Edward quit royal duty to marry American Wallis Simpson, the line of succession passed to her father.

George VI called it a “burden” as he was the second-born and the spare and so was never meant to take the crown, let alone pass it down to his eldest daughter.

But he was regarded as a successful wartime king although he succumbed to the stress and heavy smoking and died aged 56 — leaving Princess Elizabeth to become Queen aged 25.

In a worldwide radio message on her 21st, she said: “I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service.”

The thought of abdication, or quitting royal service to enjoy life elsewhere, even stepping away as head of state or head of the family, was never ever an option she wanted or explored.

The Queen was true to her word. And her service was universal to family and state.
