Prince Harry is not on good terms with King Charles or Prince William following his exit from the Royal Family in 2020.

Prince Harry has been inspired by his mother Princess Diana’s desire for “peace” to try and patch things up with the Royal Family, according to his memoir Spare.

The Prince and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals in 2020 and relocated to California, however their subsequent tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey and Netflix documentary series have worsened the feud between the two families.

In January 2023 Harry published his memoir Spare, which came under much scrutiny for his no-holds barred revelations about life in the Royal Family.

While many of the claims made by the Duke about his family were incredibly damaging, in one passage he explains how his late mother made him want to strive for peace.

He recalled: “I’d come to those gardens because I wanted peace. I wanted it more than anything. I wanted it for my family’s sake, and for my own—but also for hers.”

Harry added that Diana, who was killed in a car accident in 1997, “strove for peace”, and that she was “always working to bring peace to someone somewhere”.

He added reflectively: “I knew how desperately she would want—no, did want— peace between her boys, and between us two and Pa.”

Former royal butler Paul Burrell, who worked for Diana for many years, said that the late Princess would have been “heartbroken” about the fallout between her two sons.

Mr Burrell said on behalf of Slingo: “I saw first-hand Diana raise William and Harry and it was always Harry’s duty and his job to be a wingman for his brother.

“He always knew that William would be King and Harry would be second in charge, but something happened, and that was Meghan.

“She changed his world and turned it upside down. Diana would not be happy with the way he has deserted his post.

“He has not only deserted his post, he has deserted his family and his country.”

The former royal staffer added: “If she was still alive, none of this would be happening because she would still have her hands on the reins and she would still be steering her children.

“She would be proud of William but she would have a broken heart over Harry because she would be torn over the love for her son and the desertion of his duty.”

Prince Harry came to the UK last month to celebrate ten years of the Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral, but did not meet with any senior members of the Royal Family during his visit.

 

Prince William and King Charles are marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day, with the heir to the throne showing his loyalty to the crown.

Prince William has been spotted subtly showing his support for King Charles during his speech to kick off the D-Day 80th anniversary celebrations in Portsmouth.

Both William and the King were proudly displaying their military medals, with the Prince of Wales sporting one medal of particular interest – the King’s Coronation medal.

This honour was created to mark the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla on May 6 2023, and is awarded to those who contributed significantly to the ceremony, as well as members of the Armed Forces and veterans.

Both William and Prince Harry have been given one, however Harry has not yet been spotted wearing his in what some have viewed as a snub to his father.

Amongst the medals that Harry did wear to the service was one awarded to him by the late Queen Elizabeth for “services to the monarchy”, donning five in total.

As he entered St Paul’s the Duke wore the Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO) medal around his neck, with four others pinned to his lapel.

These were the Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan, awarded for his service in Helmand Province, his Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal, Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal.

The Duke of Sussex also noticeably avoided wearing his Coronation medal during a video presentation of the award for ‘Soldier of the Year’, despite wearing four other ones.

However a source told the Daily Mail that the real reason behind his decision not to wear it was more practical than an attempt to get back at the Royal Family.

They explained that the medal had been “swing-mounted” on a short ribbon and needed to be adjusted onto a longer ribbon before it could be worn to “stop it from swinging around”.

Prince William proudly wore five military medals as he gave a moving speech which left many in the crowd feeling emotional.

He said: “I am deeply honoured to join you today to recognise the bravery of all of those like John Haddock who participated in the D-Day landings, the start of the liberation of France and Europe, that led to victory of the Allied Powers.

“Our guests of honour today are those veterans from the Normandy landing, that came from across our nation and from all walks of life to join in the fight against tyranny.

“Many of those that took up arms had never seen combat before, some were still only in their teens.”

The Queen’s Wit: A Look at Her Majesty’s Funniest Moments

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, was known for her grace, dignity, and unwavering commitment to her duties. But behind her stoic demeanor, she also possessed a sharp wit and a playful sense of humor. Throughout her 70-year reign, there were countless moments when Her Majesty let her guard down and revealed her lighter side.

In one memorable anecdote, during a G7 Summit in 2021, while posing for photographs, the Queen remarked, “I was supposed to be looking as if you’re enjoying it.” This self-deprecating quip highlights her ability to laugh at herself, a trait that endeared her to many.

Prince Philip, her husband of 73 years, was often the target of her playful jabs. During a speech commemorating their Golden Wedding Anniversary, she acknowledged, “All too often I fear Prince Philip has had to listen to me speaking frequently.” This lighthearted comment underscores the strong bond and mutual respect they shared.

Her love of horse racing was another source of amusement. In 2007, her horse, Estimate, won the prestigious Gold Cup at Ascot. The Queen, overcome with joy, was seen wiping away tears of happiness. This genuine display of emotion resonated with the public, reminding them of her human side.

Her encounters with ordinary people often yielded humorous moments. During a visit to a tree-planting ceremony, she quipped, “I planted a tree fifty years ago, and they’re still trying to dig it up.” This witty remark showcases her ability to connect with people on a personal level.

Even during formal engagements, her humor would shine through. In 1976, during the United States Bicentennial celebrations, she received a look from President Gerald Ford that she described as “only a mother could give a child.” This playful observation highlights her ability to find humor in unexpected situations.

Perhaps her most memorable comedic moment came in 2012, when she joined James Bond actor Daniel Craig for a grand entrance at the Olympic Games in London. The Queen’s willingness to participate in this lighthearted skit demonstrated her sense of fun and her ability to connect with popular culture.

Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy extends far beyond her official duties. She was a beloved figure, not just for her dedication to her country but also for her warmth, humor, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Her legacy will continue to inspire and entertain for generations to come.

Lies, Hysteria and Gaslighting: The Meghan Markle Story

Meghan Markle, the former American actress who married Prince Harry, has been a controversial figure since she joined the British royal family. She has been accused of lying, gaslighting, and exaggerating her experiences with racism within the royal family.

In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle claimed that she was subjected to racism from members of the royal family, and that she was even denied a title for her son Archie because of his mixed race heritage. These claims have been widely disputed, and many people believe that Markle is simply trying to garner sympathy and attention.

There is no doubt that Markle has faced scrutiny and criticism since she became a royal. However, it is also important to remember that she is a human being who deserves to be treated with respect. The way in which she has been treated by the media and the public has been nothing short of appalling.

It is time for us to stop focusing on the negative aspects of Markle’s life and start to appreciate her for who she is. She is a strong, independent woman who has made her own way in the world. She is also a loving wife and mother.

We should all be inspired by Markle’s story. She is a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. She is also a reminder that we should all be treated with kindness and respect, regardless of our race, background, or beliefs.

Here are some additional points to consider:

Markle has been accused of being a social climber and of using her relationship with Prince Harry to advance her own career.
Markle has also been criticized for her spending habits and for her lack of respect for royal protocol.
Despite the criticism, Markle remains a popular figure among many people. She is seen as a role model for young women and as a symbol of diversity within the royal family.

It is important to note that these are just some of the many perspectives on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. There is no one right answer to the question of whether or not she is a liar and a gaslighter. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide what they believe.

Meghan Markle Faces Backlash Over New Book’s Claims

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is once again under fire, this time over allegations made in a new book by author Tom Bower, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors.” The book, which was released in July 2022, paints a damning portrait of Markle, accusing her of being manipulative, attention-seeking, and even bullying staff at Buckingham Palace.

One of the most explosive claims in the book is that Markle made Kate Middleton cry during a bridesmaid fitting in the lead-up to her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. Bower also alleges that Markle had a falling out with Victoria Beckham over suspicions that Beckham was leaking stories about her to the press.

Perhaps most seriously, the book accuses Markle of playing the “race card” in her public statements about the Royal Family. Markle and Prince Harry famously gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey in 2021 in which they accused the Royal Family of racism, but Bower claims that these allegations were unfounded and that Markle was simply using them to gain sympathy and attention.

The book has been met with mixed reactions, with some critics praising Bower for his thorough research and others accusing him of being biased against Markle. However, there is no doubt that the book has damaged Markle’s reputation and further strained her relationship with the Royal Family.

In the wake of the book’s release, Markle has remained silent, but her supporters have been quick to defend her. Some have pointed out that Bower has a history of writing negative articles about Markle, while others have accused him of sexism and racism.

It remains to be seen what the long-term impact of the book will be, but it is clear that it has already had a significant impact on Markle’s life. Only time will tell how she will recover from this latest blow to her reputation.

Meghan Markle Faces Renewed Online Attacks Amidst Unproven Claims

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has once again found herself at the center of online scrutiny, with unsubstantiated rumors and allegations resurfacing across social media platforms. These attacks, which paint a negative picture of Markle’s past and character, raise concerns about the ongoing harassment she has faced since joining the British royal family.

At the heart of these rumors is the claim that Markle was a guest on Jeffrey Epstein’s yacht in Phuket, Thailand, in 2001, alongside Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell, and other controversial figures. This allegation, which stems from Maxwell’s biographer, has no concrete evidence to support it and has been widely disputed.

Another claim circulating online suggests that Markle had a secret rendezvous with disgraced former Today Show host Matt Lauer after an appearance on the program before she met Prince Harry. This allegation, sourced from an anonymous insider, has not been commented on by Markle and lacks any corroborating evidence.

Furthermore, a report published by the National Enquirer paints Markle in an unflattering light, portraying her as a manipulative and demanding individual during her childhood and questioning the veracity of her past claims, including her advocacy against a sexist advertisement and her connection to Hillary Clinton. The National Enquirer, known for its tabloid journalism and sensationalized reporting, has a history of publishing unsubstantiated claims about celebrities.

These attacks on Markle’s character and reputation come amidst a broader pattern of online harassment she has faced since joining the royal family. Some observers attribute this hostility to racism and sexism, while others view it as criticism of her actions and decisions.

Prince Harry ‘Hated All That Politically Correct Stuff’ Prior To Meeting Meghan Markle, Insider Claims: He ‘Changed Completely’

SOURCE: MEGAMar. 9 2023, Published 5:30 p.m. ET

Prince Harry “hated all that politically correct stuff – all that woke nonsense” until he met Meghan Markle, spilled one of the Duke’s former Eton College classmates.

In author Tom Quinn’s book Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family, released in February, the writer focused on Harry’s time at the prestigious college.

“They think real country people are defined by the fact that they shoot things. And if you go to a school like Eton, you don’t get a broad social mix. It’s only people from the old English aristocracy who are very conservative… This is the world that Harry grew up in. His only friends were the sons and some daughters of the old English aristocracy who are all like this. And so, his world was limited by that,” the 67-year-old said, describing the atmosphere of Harry’s alma mater.

The author spoke with some of the 38-year-old’s contemporaries, whom Harry was close with from 1998-2003.

“He was funny, a bit cynical and great company because, like the rest of us, he made jokes that we are no longer allowed to make,” the insider added.

The source continued, “After Meghan came along, he changed completely into what he would once have been the first to mock: a sort of Guardian-reading tree-hugger. It was all Meghan’s influence. We used to joke that she must be very good in bed to have turned his head that far.”

The classmates also claimed to be “stunned” by how much meeting the Suits actress changed the former soldier.

“His friends were horrified because it was almost as if he’d gone over to the enemy,” Quinn said.

“They were very rude about it. When Harry met Meghan, they got close very quickly. Harry wanted her to meet his friends. It never occurred to him that she might think they were awful, that they would make racist jokes. Harry once famously went to a party dressed up as a Nazi,” he added, referring Harry’s infamous past.

Quinn then referenced an occasion where the friends met the Duchess of Sussex.Ửhiucacs

“Meghan spent the day apparently telling them that they couldn’t make these awful jokes. One of them said at the end of the day, after meeting Meghan, they exchanged messages, not with Harry and Meghan, but with each other saying, ‘Why is Harry going out with this awful woman? She’s a tree-hugger. She’s obsessed with being woke.’ But I think Harry’s world was very split. And Meghan is a very powerful personality. Everyone says it,” he shared.

The author then said the prince separated from his family likely due to Meghan’s beliefs.

 

SOURCE: OK!

“I think by adopting completely Meghan’s view of the world, I think it made it much more difficult for him, certainly in his relationships with other members of the royal family,” Quinn said.

Fox News previously reported on Quinn’s book.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be attending Trooping the Colour this year, but that doesn’t mean they will be completely sidelined, says one royal expert.

Trooping the Colour, also known as the King’s Birthday Parade, is scheduled for Saturday, June 15, and will kick off at 10:20am.

Harry and Meghan have a habit of having good news the same day as other members of the Royal Family — like Meghan announcing her new website, American Riviera Orchard, the same day as Prince William presenting at The Diana Award — which hasn’t gone unnoticed by royal commentator Kinsey Schofield.

Ms Schofield, To Di For Daily host, said: “I would not be surprised if we saw American Rivera Orchard launch a product around Trooping the Colour.”

She added: “What a bizarre thing to launch a brand at the height of a royal health crisis then not have anything tangible available for purchase for MONTHS.”

Meghan launched her lifestyle brand on March 14, but from there, things went very, very quiet. She then resurfaced at the end of April, giving out handmade jams to 50 friends and influencers to share via social media.

Meghan has yet to list any products on her website, but that may change on June 15, or, possibly, June 14, to make a preemptive strike, overshadowing the king’s big day before it even begins

Charles’s actual birthday is on November 14, but it is tradition for the reigning monarch to have an unofficial birthday in June, so the entire nation can join in the celebration.

Harry and Meghan will not be taking part in the festivities, but they may take from the day, suggests Ms Schofield.

“Clearly the Sussexes have not learned their lesson and are eager to play the PR game that Harry claims to resent so fiercely in Spare.”

Harry and Meghan haven’t been seen out and about for a while now — things have been kind of quiet since their three-day visit to Nigeria in May — but their online presence is a different story.

Ms Schofield says “a lot of information” has been coming out of Harry and Meghan’s camp, which she believes is being leaked to the press by the Sussexes, including details about Princess Lilibet’s birthday party, Harry turning down the invite to the Duke of Westminster’s wedding, and not being invited to Trooping the Colour.

Harry and Meghan weren’t invited to Trooping the Colour last year, so it’s not a big surprise that they wound’t be invited this year, it’s more of a surprise that People magazine would treat this like a breaking story, meanwhile, People magazine is Harry and Meghan’s go-to publication, when they want to get a story out, it’s been said.

 

When Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh’s rank changed she was no longer duty bound to curtsey to Meghan Markle.

Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh is “relieved” she no longer has to curtsy to Meghan Markle due to her change in ranking, according to reports.

Previously the Countess of Wessex, Sophie was given a new title after her husband Prince Edward was promoted to Duke of Edinburgh after Charles became King.

She was duty-bound to curtsey to the Duchess of Sussex as Meghan was a higher rank when she was a senior working royal. But a friend of the Duchess of Edinburgh told the Mail on Sunday Sophie is relieved this is no longer the case.

The source explained: “Sophie is relieved. She no longer has to curtsy to someone in the family who has not only left Royal duties but has spent the past three years criticising the institution that Sophie works so hard to support.”

Meghan Markle, as revealed in her Netflix docuseries, once believed that curtseying was a joke. The Sussexes revealed that before a meeting with the late Queen, Harry asked Meghan: ‘You know how to curtsey, right?’ Meghan told the crew: “I just thought it was a joke” before re-enacting the exaggerated curtsey she gave Queen Elizabeth II and laughing.

The claims about tensions between Sophie and Meghan featured in Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, by author and friend of the Royals Gyles Brandreth.

He writes that Meghan “made it clear” she didn’t need Sophie’s help when she became a royal and would instead rely on Prince Harry, according to the Daily Mail. 

The King made his brother Prince Edward the Duke of Edinburgh on his 59th birthday on Friday as a reward for his loyal service to the crown. King Charles also appointed his brother to the Order of the Thistle on his 60th birthday.

Prince Philip held the title of Duke of Edinburgh before his death in April 2021 – a title that was then passed on to his youngest son after he died. Edward was exceptionally close to his father and in his later years took on much of his work with the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme.

Speaking of the moment that Philip asked if Edward would take on the title after his death, Sophie revealed how she felt at the moment to the Telegraph.

She told the publication: “We sat there slightly stunned. He literally came straight in and said, ‘Right. I’d like it very much if you would consider that’.”

This year, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have stepped up to royal engagements as King Charles battles cancer and undergoes treatment. However, it has been claimed King Charles is set for a summer packed full of engagements as he wants to “make up for lost time” following his cancer diagnosis back in February and subsequent treatment.

On June 5, King Charles visited Portsmouth and the monarch gave a moving speech where he paid tribute to D-Day veterans at a commemorative event in Portsmouth for the 80th anniversary.

Addressing the crowd, the monarch said: “Today we come together to honour those nearly one hundred and sixty thousand British, Commonwealth and Allied troops who, on 5th June 1944, assembled here and along these shores to embark on the mission which would strike that blow for freedom and be recorded as the greatest amphibious operation in history..”

To help mark D-Day’s 80th anniversary, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh attended the National Memorial Arboretum on June 6 to participate in the Royal British Legion’s Service of Remembrance.

Arthur Edwards has seen Harry woo a succession of beautiful possible royal-brides-to-be over the years – all of them bright, sparky and beautiful.

Yet it took a charismatic actress from across the Atlantic to finally really capture Harry’s heart.

“It was obvious from the moment they first went public that Meghan was special.

I have covered almost every public engagement she and Harry have done so far and I have never seen a royal couple so tactile.

They’re always holding hands or he’s pushing her hair back or putting his arm around her waist – it’s quite lovely to see.

It’s a huge contrast to Harry’s parents Charles and Diana.

In the 12 years before they separated I only saw them hold hands on three occasions.

It’s typical of Harry though – he’s always been an all-or-nothing man, although he definitely played the field a bit more than William back in the day.

He has had some really lovely girlfriends over the years too, but he’s learned the hard way that the strong girls who attract him don’t necessarily want to sacrifice their independence to become a member of the Royal Family, or “The Firm”.

Chelsy Davy was a case in point: she wanted to be a lawyer, not a princess, while the girl that followed her, Cressida Bonas, wanted to fulfill her dream to be an actress.

And for all the obvious privileges of being royal there’s a lot of restrictions too: you can’t just go to the cinema or pop out to a restaurant. It’s a lot to ask of a person.

I think people forget that about Meghan – just how much she is giving up.

Prior to Harry she was a very successful actress earning big money in a hit television show, and she’s walked away from all that.

She’s given up all her social media, she’s going to give up her citizenship and she’s going to be baptized into the British Church.

She’s not even walked down the aisle yet but already she’s making huge changes to her life and I think that tells you a lot about her love for Harry.

Will it last? There’s no question that the pressures of being included in the Royal Family are tough, but I think if anyone can pull it off it’s Meghan.”
