SOUTH PARK’S SENSATIONAL RETURN: THE DUCHESS’S TWERK HELL

Hollywood is abuzz with the most anticipated sequel of the decade – not a Marvel blockbuster, but the potential return of South Park to mercilessly skewer the Duke and Duchess of Montecito! After their last scathing takedown, “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” left audiences roaring with laughter, the satirical cartoon masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone are reportedly eyeing a second bite at the royal cherry, and this time, Meghan Markle’s now-infamous delivery ward twerking video is the prime target!

The Daily Mail reports that Paramount is playing coy, “remaining tight-lipped” about the burgeoning calls for a new South Park episode featuring Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. But sources close to the production suggest the material is simply “too good” to ignore. The 2023 episode hilariously mocked their paradoxical demands for privacy while simultaneously embarking on a relentless publicity blitz for Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare. It featured a cartoon “Prince of Canada” and his wife carrying banners emblazoned with “Respect Our Privacy,” a slogan they screamed at anyone who dared to look their way.

Now, fans are demanding a glorious follow-up, dreaming up titles like “Respectile Pregnancy” in response to Meghan’s latest social media foray. “What about this isn’t 100% South Park fodder?” one fan quipped on X, while another simply pitched: “Meghan Markle twerking, respectile privacy movie.” Speculation is rife that producers are already “creating storyboards” for the projected episode.

“Can you imagine what South Park is going to do with that? It’s going to be hilarious!” exclaimed a thrilled commentator. “This is, I mean, I know Megan and Harry, I think at one time they tried to prevent it like with threaten it with a lawsuit or something, but they… it’s going to be brutal!” Indeed, with the sheer volume of “content” the Sussexes have provided since their last appearance, the new episode promises to be “much bigger and better.”

THE MONTECITO MELTDOWN: MEGHAN’S PODCAST PLUMMETS

The potential South Park sequel comes hot on the heels of another colossal failure for the Duchess: the quiet axing of her highly-publicized podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder.” Though Meghan spun the narrative that she was “axing it because she was… really wanting to focus on the business,” the numbers tell a different, more humiliating story.

Newsweek delivered the brutal truth this week: “Meghan Markle podcast loses in the charts to her biggest critics.” The Duchess of Sussex’s “Confessions of a Female Founder,” launched on April 8th, saw its final episode drop on June 3rd. While it briefly hit second place among Apple podcasts and hovered around 21st on Spotify, it “quickly slipped down the charts after the first two episodes.” By April 12th, it had dropped out of Spotify’s top 100 altogether, and by April 26th, it had fallen out of Apple’s top 200.

The most delicious irony? Meghan’s podcast was routinely outperformed by her most vocal critics. Political commentators like Tucker Carlson, who famously called Piers Morgan losing his job for doubting Meghan’s suicidal thoughts “the most insane thing I’ve ever seen,” consistently landed in the top 10 on Spotify. Candace Owens, who denounced Meghan and Harry as “inauthentic ambulance chasers” for visiting a disaster zone, was often in the top 10 while Meghan languished at 21st. Even Joe Rogan, a past target of the Sussexes, consistently dominated the top spots.

“Oh my good, it’s just so great isn’t it? I just love seeing it because it really shows how Megan has no power, she has no sustainability, she has… she doesn’t have the ‘it’ factor,” revelled a panelist. “Even with her connection to the royal family… you can’t even get in the top rating of people who are talking negatively about you!”

THE AUTHENTICITY FARCE: WHY MEGHAN’S BRAND IS CRUMBLING

The podcast debacle only further exposes the chasm between Meghan’s carefully curated image and the public’s perception. During her interview on the Emma Greed Day podcast, Meghan offered a dizzying display of “mental arithmetic and all of the gymnastics” to explain away her podcast’s demise, claiming she needed to “focus on my business” and “spread thin is my jam.”

“Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies!” cried one disgusted commentator. “Does she really think that we’re believing this? Does she really believe that this is authentic? It is the opposite. That is the whole reason why we don’t support her ’cause we see fake, fake, fake!”

Critics argue that Meghan’s refusal to confront her failures directly is her undoing. “You bombed at it, it wasn’t good, people didn’t really watch it after like the third, fourth episode, just say that and just say, ‘you know, okay, I’m gonna try something else now!’”

The fundamental problem, they argue, is Meghan’s lack of “sustainability” and “authenticity.” “People will watch the first time, maybe the second time, but after that, they’re getting rid of you, they are kicking you to the curb, girl, and they don’t want to hear you,” a commentator passionately asserted. “They want to hear the people that are going to check you, who are going to keep talking about you and your behavior.”

---

THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH: A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY

The criticism extends beyond Meghan to those who enable her “inauthentic” narrative. Emma Greed Day, the podcast host, faced scorn for being “prepared to sit there and point blank lie” about the podcast’s supposed success. “You know that’s a lie… you just lost all your credibility,” was the blunt assessment, citing the podcast’s abysmal 71% dislike rating.

The stark contrast was drawn to individuals who, when “cancelled,” embraced difficult truths. “Come and talk, Megan, about what’s really happened,” urged the host. “But that means dealing with uncomfortable truth, which you are not prepared to deal with head on.” He recounted his own experience of being “cancelled,” sitting for lengthy interviews where “nothing is off limits” to address “false allegations.”

The consensus is damning: Meghan and Harry “don’t want to recognize the things that make her uncomfortable. You have to sit in these uncomfortable positions and places to get anywhere to move forward.” Until they confront their past behaviour, their “poking at the royal family,” and their own missteps, their ventures – from Netflix series to brand launches – are doomed to fail.

“We’re going to watch you do the next thing, season two of Netflix, Megan, and we’re going to watch you fail, because that’s what you’re good at,” concluded a commentator with brutal honesty. “Wake up out of your stupidness and understand the problem, okay? You have a problem, okay, of being unauthentic, you’re just not good people, and you don’t get it yet!”

The stage is set for an epic showdown, not just in Hollywood cartoons, but in the ongoing battle for public perception, where authenticity, not carefully choreographed spin, ultimately reigns supreme.

Loose Women viewers were left stunned when Linda Robson dropped a surprise revelation on the show – she has an incredible link to a major Hollywood star

Linda Robson has revealed a huge family link to Hollywood star Anne Hathaway on Loose Women and viewers can’t quite believe it.

The Loose Women favourite, 67, told the panel that her son, Louis, wrote a song about Arsenal because the whole family are all avid supporters of the football team and the song ended up going viral – with Anne, 42, even hearing it and singing it to her millions of Instagram and TikTok followers.

“My son Louis wrote a song – because we are all Arsenal supporters – and my son wrote a song. It wasn’t about Arsenal, it was more about North London where we live, and then the Arsenal supporters picked up on it and it’s gone absolutely mad,” she told viewers.

“Now 60,000 or 70,000 fans are all singing his song over the Arsenal stadium and Anne Hathaway, who I never had a clue was a supporter, is singing it.”

Anne may be best known for her blockbuster film roles, but recently, the Hollywood A-lister has been turning heads for an entirely different reason – her passionate support for Arsenal Football Club.

The star of The Devil Wears Prada and The Dark Knight Rises is a fully-fledged Gooner, and she’s not keeping it under wraps.

In fact, Anne has been taking to TikTok to belt out North London Forever, Arsenal’s emotional anthem, with all the gusto of a Londoner herself. “The group chat is going off. ‘Declan is the man of the day’, I agree mum,” she shared in one post – proving Arsenal fever has taken over the Hathaway household.

Her football allegiance came into full view after she shared a spirited rendition of the anthem following Arsenal’s 3-0 dismantling of Real Madrid in the Champions League. While it’s not entirely clear when her Arsenal obsession began, clues suggest this isn’t just a recent fad.

Back in April 2024, during a press tour for The Idea of You, Anne and co-star Nicholas Galitzine – also a die-hard Arsenal fan -found themselves distracted mid-interview by live match updates.

“One-nil, Trossard!,” Galitzine exclaimed, to which Anne beamed: “Oh I love you,” then quickly added: “Sorry, we’re both fans of the same team, and there’s a match going on right now, and during our last interview they scored.”

The goal they were celebrating was of course Leandro Trossard’s against Wolves in Arsenal’s 2-0 win on April 20, 2024. Trossard even took notice, sending her a message: “Keep supporting us and hopefully see you soon at the Emirates.”

Despite the warm invite, it seems Anne has yet to make her pilgrimage to the Emirates Stadium.

Prior to that interview clip surfacing, there was little public trace of her being a Gunners supporter, but recent months have shown her fandom rising alongside the team’s Champions League charge.

Her love for the club now seems undeniable. Just weeks ago, she posted a photo in a red Arsenal shirt after Bukayo Saka’s comeback against Fulham, captioning it: “Welcome back #7.”

Loose Women star Coleen Nolan opened up on the importance of laughter while she recalled a touching moment she had with sister Linda before her death.

At the beginning of the year, it was announced that singer Linda Nolan died at the age of 65 after a long battle with secondary breast cancer.

During Thursday’s instalment of Loose Women, the presenters discussed King Charles’ recent event at Buckingham Palace honouring cancer charities.

During the show, ITV’s Christine Lampard referred to a poignant statement from the programme of the Royal gathering where King Charles noted: “The darkest moments of illness can be illuminated by the greatest compassion.”

Looking towards Coleen, Christine mentioned how impactful and powerful those words must have been given the recent death of her sister Linda.

Coleen nodded in agreement before opening up about how humour has kept her going over these last few months, reports Belfast Live.

She candidly shared: “It always is! I’ve kind of got this thing where if I don’t laugh about it sometimes, then I won’t stop crying, and that’s getting nowhere.

“Life does have to go on, everything is the same the next day and people carry on with their lives.”

Coleen then relayed a comical incident involving Linda shortly before she died.

The Loose Women star recalled: “We were all with Linda at the hospital and we didn’t know at this point that we were going to lose her the next day. She was on oxygen, she was sitting up in bed, eating what she said was revolting rice pudding.

“They told her to stop talking because they couldn’t get her oxygen levels up. So, she was sitting up, she had a 100 per cent oxygen mask on and then she’d move it and start talking.

“So, I’m talking to her, and I’m watching the thing go down and down, then I’d go, ‘Linda, please shut up and put your oxygen mask on!’”

“We were just crying laughing because she’d take it off, wait until it got to a certain level while she could get her story out then put it back on. We laughed and what a great memory to have before, 24 hours later she passed away.”

At the start of February, Linda was commemorated with a heartfelt memorial service at St Paul’s Church in Blackpool where she had tied the knot with her husband Brian Hudson.

The funeral witnessed an incredible turnout as hundreds congregated in the streets to show their love for the Nolan family during such a poignant time.

Reflecting on the immense support on Good Morning Britain previously, Anne Nolan mentioned: “My sister Maureen started crying. I mean, we were all very emotional, but she started crying because of all the people that were there.

“She said, ‘I’m so glad because Linda would’ve been so disappointed if all these people hadn’t turned up.’”

The Loose Women star’s mother, Joan, has also been grappling with a ‘horrible chest infection’ these past few weeks

Ruth Langsford has revealed the ‘horrible’ reason why she couldn’t appear on QVC last night. The 65-year-old TV star was struck down by a nasty stomach bug, just weeks after her mother fell ill.

“I’ve got a horrible tummy bug so unfortunately can’t do my show @qvcuk tonight,” she told her fans in an Instagram Story yesterday. “Thankfully, the wonderful @melissahardystyle is stepping in for me so I hope you can join her… some lovely new pieces launching! Thanks Melissa!”

The Loose Women star’s mother, Joan, has also been grappling with a ‘horrible chest infection’ these past few weeks. In a separate update, Ruth recently said the 94-year-old wasn’t quite well enough to ‘come out yet’, but hoped she would recover very soon.

“Thank you for all your kind wishes for my Mum,” Ruth explained last month. “…Not quite well enough to come out yet, but I hope she’ll be back dancing in my kitchen very soon. In the meantime she’s enjoying lots of cuddles with Nurse Maggie!”

Unfortunately, Joan has faced several health challenges in recent months. She fractured her pelvis in December, just a year after breaking her hip.

While the family was relieved to learn that she wouldn’t need surgery, Joan was required to stay in the hospital to recover. “No dancing in my kitchen peeling the veg for my darling Mum this Christmas… she’s had a fall and fractured her pelvis,” Ruth said in December.

“She’s ok…ish, no surgery required thank goodness but she needs rest and time to heal now. She’s in hospital at the moment but I’m hoping to get her home soon. This time last year she fell and broke her hip but recovered well.

Ruth said the ordeal significantly changed her outlook on life, particularly since her mother couldn’t enjoy Christmas traditions as usual last year. “She’s a very strong woman so I’m sure she’ll recover from this too,” Ruth added.

“It puts life and what’s important into perspective, eh?” Joan received care from nursing staff at Woking Community Hospital and St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey.

Fortunately, she was well enough to return home by January, reuniting with Ruth and her dog, Maggie. Ruth later added: “She’s recovering brilliantly after fracturing her pelvis in December.

“…Charging around again on her walker like a good ‘un! Hope I’ll have her grit and energy when I’m 94! LEGEND.”

THE 46-MINUTE SHOCKWAVE: BRITAIN’S MORAL FREEFALL

Britain has plunged into a moral abyss, its soul seemingly sacrificed on the altar of “progress” in a mere 46 MINUTES. That is the astonishing, stomach-churning amount of time it took for our “degenerate political class” to decriminalize abortion up until the day of birth across England and Wales. A nation watches, aghast, as its Parliament, with horrifying speed and a shocking lack of scrutiny, has ushered in what many are calling a new era of sanctioned infanticide.

The amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill, championed by MP Diana Johnson, passed by an overwhelming majority of 242 votes (379 MPs in favour to 137 against). This means women acting alone to end their own pregnancy will no longer face prosecution, even at full-term. “It marks the biggest change to reproductive rights in nearly 60 years and it wasn’t even close,” chillingly reported the mainstream media, seemingly oblivious to the seismic moral tremor it represents.

A NATION’S OUTRAGED CRY: “THIS IS HORRIFYING!”

The immediate aftermath has seen a torrent of outrage from across the political and social spectrum, far removed from the media’s placid headline: “No abortion wars please, we’re British.”

Belinda Dooi voiced the terrifying sentiment: “It feels like there is a death cult element to this Labour Party. They seem scarily determined to make it easier to take life. There was no movement or protest pushing for such a huge change, it was not even in their manifesto. How could they?”

The sheer lack of debate has been a central point of fury. Jerome Mayhew MP lamented: “Irrespective of our position on the vote… we have to acknowledge that we have made a major change to abortion law and yet that was on the basis of no evidence session, no committee stage scrutiny. 46 minutes! Just 46 minutes of backbench debate and a government minister wind up who refused to take any interventions.” He called it a “degenerate parliament.”

CONSERVATIVES IN COMPLICITY: THE “PRO-MURDER” LIST

Adding insult to grievous injury, eight Conservative MPs shamefully voted for this “monstrous” change. Connor Tomlinson publicly listed the culpable: “Afra Brandreth, Caroline Dinenage, Luke Evans, Kit Malthouse, Andrew Mitchell, Neil O’Brien, Ben Spencer, Laura Trott.” He demanded: “What are you conserving if you’re willing to let women kill unborn children? Is there any tradition or taboo that you won’t join progressive revolutionaries in breaking? Every one of them should have the whip removed.”

The disgust is palpable. Former Reform UK member Maria Btowel posted: “The list of MPs who are pro-murder makes me sick. This anger will not subside easily. How far will we allow our ethics to drop before we say enough? For the love of all that is holy, please, please do not re-elect a single one of them.”

---

LIZ TRUSS & OLYMPIC LEGENDS JOIN THE CHORUS OF CONDEMNATION

Even former Prime Minister Liz Truss weighed in: “This is horrifying. It needs to be reversed. This is not what our country believes or stands for.”

Talk presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer cut through the liberal cant: “It’s not a step forward in reproductive rights… This is a legal challenge that 97% of women in this country oppose. How can killing a baby the day after it is born be murder but killing that same baby the day before be a legal act? That’s not feminism, that’s madness.”

Perhaps most heartbreakingly, Olympic swimming legend Sharon Davies shared a deeply personal condemnation: “My granddaughter was born at 37 weeks. I’m horrified we have made it legal in the UK for healthy babies to be terminated up to the day before the due date. Let’s hope the House of Lords stops this. So youth in Asia for our old and infirm? Now anyone can get rid of their baby with no repercussions. This does not represent public opinion. Why are these things happening? I don’t recognize my country anymore.”

---

THE LUCY LETBY PARADOX: WHERE IS THE LOGIC?

The decision’s grotesque irony was starkly highlighted by columnist Sarah Vine, who chillingly linked it to the case of nurse Lucy Letby: “Lucy Letby’s youngest victim was born at 29 weeks, she died in her 30th week. And yet Parliament has today sanctioned the killing of babies up to 41 weeks of gestation. Where is the logic in that? Where is the morality? Why is one murder and the other not? Has anyone stopped to think this through?”

---

“SHEER EVIL”: THE DELUSION OF DECRIMINALIZATION

Father Calvin Robinson, speaking with raw emotion, branded the new law as “incredibly degenerate.” He clarified the terrifying reality: “What it does is it essentially legalizes abortion, and people will say ‘No, it’s decriminalization.’ But it’s not, because decriminalization without any penalty whatsoever. So in essence it legalizes abortion for any reason at any time up to and during birth.”

He painted a horrifying picture: “The baby can now be killed while the woman is on the surgical table with her legs open, with the baby’s head approaching, they can cut open the head and vacuum the brains of the baby out, or they can leave the baby on the side to cry itself to death… This is just monstrous. It is sheer evil.”

---

A KING’S DUTY? “DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT IMMEDIATELY!”

Father Calvin, in a desperate plea, even called upon the Monarch: “If our King truly was a defender of the faith, he would dissolve parliament immediately. I can’t think of anything worse than killing the most vulnerable in our society, which of course is the unborn baby, and to allow this to decriminalize this for any stage right up until the moment the baby is being born. It’s… it’s inhumane.”

He also expressed his profound disappointment in the established Church of England’s silence, noting the Catholic Church’s albeit “not very fiery” announcement. “Someone needs to speak out against this,” he urged.

REIGNITING THE ABORTION WARS: HAS LABOUR OVERPLAYED ITS HAND?

Intriguingly, there are whispers among “lefties” themselves that Labour may have “overplayed its hand.” This extreme measure, many believe, will inevitably drag the abortion debate – long considered “settled” by the British elite – back to the forefront of national discourse.

Even Nigel Farage, though absent for the vote, has previously stated he does not support abortion past 24 weeks. Now, Sarah Pochin, the new Reform UK MP, is reportedly calling for “further term limits,” finding 24 weeks “far too far into a pregnancy.”

Father Calvin sees this as a perverse silver lining: “It is so monstrous, so overtly evil, that even the lefties are a bit like, ‘Whoa, that maybe that bit, that’s a bit too far.’ So yes, it does bring the conversation back up.”

---

THE HORRIFIC TOLL: A “MEDICAL MARVEL AGE” OF DEATH

Father Calvin forcefully argued for total abolition: “We live in a medical marvel age… there is never, ever a reason in Britain to be killing a baby.” He debunked common justifications: “The mother’s life is never at risk in the terms of you need to kill the baby to save the mother, that is never the case.” As for rape or incest, which he states account for “roughly 1% of all abortions in the UK,” he declared: “If someone has to die, it should be the rapist, absolutely, and in terms of incest again, you’ve got to have different situations to solve the problems, not kill the baby.”

The numbers are stark, a silent indictment of a society in freefall. “We have over 200,000 abortions every single year in the UK. More people die of that than of any anything else, including COVID. It’s absolutely absurd that we’re letting people get away with infanticide and promoting it as a good thing.”

He concluded with a powerful indictment of the language used to sanitise the act: “It’s not reproductive because it’s killing reproduction, it’s not healthy because it’s killing a baby, it’s not caring because it’s killing a baby, and it’s not a right, no one has the right to choose to kill someone else, to end someone else’s life. What kind of right is that? We all have a right to life and that right is God-given. It’s not from the state, it’s not from the House of Commons, it’s certainly not from any individual, it’s from God and so no one else has the right to take that away.”

Britain stands at a crossroads. Its Parliament has, in a breathtakingly short time, redefined the value of human life. The outrage is building, the moral questions are inescapable, and the fight for the soul of the nation has only just begun. Will the House of Lords intervene? Or has the UK truly descended into the “degenerate” state its critics fear?

The gloves are off, and the battle lines are drawn! In a seismic royal revelation shaking the very foundations of the monarchy, Prince William has reportedly reached his breaking point with Prince Harry’s audacious and frankly, ludicrous, claims that his two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – and we stress, allegedly Meghan Markle’s children – are set to join the ranks of the working royals. Forget polite disagreements; sources close to the Palace reveal William’s response is a resounding, unequivocal “Hell no!”

The sensational news, first hinted at in a Guardian report that inexplicably flew under the radar for days, has been blown wide open by William Sykes, the European editor-at-large for The Daily Beast. His explosive, deeply-reported piece pulls back the velvet curtain on a royal family teetering on the edge of open warfare, revealing William’s ironclad resolve to “torpedo Meghan and Harry’s plan to keep their kids royal.”

The Delusional Dream: HRH Titles and Working Royal Status?

Royal expert Britney, editor of the Royal News Network, was quick to dismantle Harry’s fantastical notion. “How can Harry really believe that William is ever going to allow his children to become working royals?” she questioned, clarifying that merely possessing HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) titles grants no automatic right to such a prestigious and demanding role. She points to Harry’s own cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who despite holding HRH status, are not working royals. Even Prince Andrew, though stripped of the right to use his HRH publicly, technically retains the status – a mere styling, not a ticket to royal duties.

“It means literally nothing when it comes to working royals,” Britney asserted, highlighting that William, as the future king, holds the ultimate power. Harry’s dream, she concludes, is nothing short of “delusional.” The only way his children could ever undertake royal roles would be with William’s explicit blessing, and as it stands, William’s “fury” at Harry’s behaviour only intensifies with each passing day of their estrangement.

William’s Wrath: A Royal Reckoning Looms

Sykes’s report paints a grim picture for the Sussexes. He writes, “Prince William will strip his exiled brother Prince Harry’s children of their HR titles when he becomes king after a provocative briefing by the exiled royal flabbergasted royal insiders.” That “provocative briefing”? Harry’s astonishing suggestion to The Guardian that he “wants to keep the HR titles for his children so that when they grow older they can decide for themselves whether they want to become working royals or stay out of public life.”

The reaction within royal circles ranged from “dismissive” to “flabbergasted.” One friend of Prince William’s, speaking to The Daily Beast, didn’t mince words: “William obviously isn’t going to hire Archie and Lily. This is just trolling on the part of Harry and Megan. It’s actually hilarious that no one even noticed it for 10 days until the Mail did it.” The friend added, “The idea that somehow having a vestigial HR as a baby later entitles you to be a working royal is beyond parody, even for them.”

The core of the issue, according to royal insiders, is Meghan’s perceived “straightforward betrayal” of the deal struck at the Sandringham Summit. The late Queen Elizabeth, in an act of extraordinary trust, allowed them to retain their HRH titles on the explicit understanding that they would not be used for commercial purposes. Yet, sources claim Meghan has “gone back on the deal by using her HR,” particularly if she now intends to “start parading the kids’ HRHs to aggrandise herself.” This, they argue, only “adds to the case to remove them legally altogether.”

Another family friend echoed the sentiment, believing the HRHs would “ultimately be removed.” An HRH, while a “style” rather than a “title,” is bestowed by “letters patent” – a legally binding royal decree – and crucially, can be taken away by royal decree. Drawing parallels to Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson, whose HRHs were removed after their divorces when rules were “quietly changed” for royal exes, the friend stated, “They have asked the Sussexes politely to stop using the style to no avail, so I imagine William will simply issue new letters of patent to formally remove the entire family’s right to use HRH when he becomes king.”

This dramatic move would likely be presented as part of a “wider tidying up exercise to reduce more broadly the number of HRHs in circulation,” possibly by restricting them to “only working royals” or “only children of the monarch.”

A former courtier, still with strong Palace links, delivered the most scathing assessment: “The bottom line is that Harry and Megan are abusing the fact that the Queen trusted them to adhere to the deal made at the Sandringham summit, and that won’t be allowed to stand, especially as we all know this is really about her ability to flaunt that on Instagram. Charles might not want this fight, but William despises Harry and Megan at this stage, and when he is king his fury will rain down on them.” This chilling prediction suggests a brutal reckoning awaits the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan’s ‘Child-Pimping’ and The Kardashian Route

The latest controversy surrounding the HRH titles comes amidst a storm of criticism over Harry and Meghan’s increasingly public display of their children. The recent Father’s Day Instagram video, featuring Archie and Lilibet, sparked outrage and accusations of “pimping out the children” for commercial gain.

“This felt like a very strategic decision, didn’t it?” remarked the host, noting Meghan’s almost non-existent attempts to shield their faces. The consensus is clear: Meghan views her children as “commercial assets.” Royal expert Britney concurred, suggesting Harry has “no other option” as Meghan “makes all the decisions in their household.” She added that Meghan “needs content” and has discovered that “reels are what’s really driving Instagram anymore.” The heartbreaking truth, Britney states, is that Harry and Meghan “got nothing but the kids, and to sell the kids basically to the highest bidder, which for Megan is Instagram.”

Popular American podcaster Link Lauren of the Spot-On podcast, didn’t hold back, directly addressing Meghan: “If you’re going to hawk your kids out, Meghan Markle, just do it! Do a reality show about, you know, raising royal, you know, raising the ex-royals, raising the knockoff royals!” He suggested a “TLC show like 19 Kids and Counting” or “Kate Plus 8,” urging her to “really cash out.”

Lauren also highlighted the suspicious timing of Meghan’s Father’s Day video, released within 24 hours of Prince William and Princess Catherine’s triumphant appearance with their children at Trooping the Colour. He argues this was no coincidence, but a deliberate attempt by Meghan to “upstage” and “bask in the light of the real royal.”

Britney agrees that Meghan harbours an “immense need for competition” and a “massive inferiority complex” when it comes to Catherine. She drew a stark contrast between the natural, well-behaved appearances of the Wales children, who are being eased into their future roles, and the “carefully curated” snippets of Archie and Lilibet. “Harry and Megan I think comes crosses very disconnected parents,” Britney observed, contrasting it with Catherine’s highly engaged parenting, even managing a toddler tantrum on an airport tarmac.

The ‘Stalker’ Duchess: Copying Catherine’s Every Move?

The accusations of Meghan’s “copycat” behaviour extended to her recent interview on the Aspire podcast with Emma Greed Day. Royal commentator Taz pointed out Meghan’s sudden interest in gardening, beekeeping, chickens, and jam-making – activities long associated with the Wales family and particularly Catherine, who has reportedly taught Prince George and Princess Charlotte about growing food.

“She is such a stalker,” Taz tweeted, “all of those years of the TIG blog and giving interviews Megan never had any interest in gardening, beekeeping, pet chickens or making jams and preserves prior to stalking the Wales family and predominantly Catherine. She is obsessed with copying them.”

Britney supported this, noting Meghan’s perceived preference for a “cosmopolitan” lifestyle over getting “dirty” in the countryside. She suggested Meghan often “claims that she likes cooking, but nine out of ten of the time I would not be surprised if she’s ordering out and just making it look like she cooked it.” The host, having endured “every damn second of With Love Meghan,” concurred, stating there was “absolutely no love or no joy from the food” in the show.

The picture painted by royal insiders and commentators is damning: a Duchess desperate for relevance, willing to exploit her children, and seemingly obsessed with emulating her sister-in-law. With Prince William’s alleged fury reaching boiling point, the future of Archie and Lilibet’s royal titles, and indeed, the Sussexes’ remaining links to the monarchy, hang precariously in the balance. The stage is set for a monumental clash, and only time will tell how “William’s fury will rain down” on his estranged brother and sister-in-law.

Broadcaster James Whale has said he has just ‘weeks’ left to live as he continues to battle terminal cancer and has admitted that he cries every day

He made a sombre admission

Radio icon James Whale has made the heart-wrenching confession that he’s in the final weeks of his life. The veteran broadcaster, 74, who first shared news of his stage four kidney cancer diagnosis in 2020, has faced a tumultuous journey since.

After a stint in intensive care last year, Whale’s challenges mounted when his TalkTV show, which he co-hosted with Ash Gould, his former producer from their TalkSPORT days, was axed.

In a recent poignant update, Whale disclosed that his health had deteriorated further, leading doctors to cease treatment and warn him that making it to Christmas would be fortunate.

During one of his last broadcasts from home, Whale bravely told listeners: “I’m actually in my last couple of weeks. Last time I saw my oncologist, he said I probably have only got weeks to go.”

Reflecting on his remarkable five-decade career, he mused, “Over the 50 years, I have interviewed and chatted to some of the most amazing people. It may have been you. Maybe we’ll catch up for the last time.”

While conversing with a caller named Paula, an emotional Whale confessed: “And I spend a lot of time crying. And it really, it’s a bit embarrassing, Paula, to be quite honest with you.

“I’m heading into the sunset and I talk about it regularly on the show and you know it’s interesting because now everybody talks about it. Not me, not mine, but their own, you know, they don’t feel that they’re doing it quite right without having a cancer to talk about.

“We do do, Nadine, my wife, or Lady W, as she’s better known, and I do a podcast every week called Tales of the Whales. And if you’re in a similar situation, I’m the one with it, she’s the one who’s got to put up with it.”

Many users flocked to social media to express their sadness at the news about the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant. One said: “Wishing you peace, you’re a brave man. Best wishes to you and your family.”

Another shared: “Thank you for your service and may you live out the rest of your days free of pain and in comfort of knowing you’ll leave behind a tremendous legacy. I take my hat off to you and salute you sir.”

And a third commented: “We disagree on my political issues James but I have always been grateful for your support on animal protection issues and have enjoyed our interviews over the years. You have dealt with your terminal illness with fortitude and dignity and a determination to squeeze the very most out of life. I wish you all the best in the days ahead my friend.”

EXCLUSIVE: Friends of Nicola Peltz Beckham have spoken out, claiming that recent media “attacks” and “false claims” about the actress are becoming excessive and unfair

Nicola Peltz Beckham is feeling ‘attacked’ by the ‘false claims’ that are being made against her, her friends have said. Nicola, 30, has found herself caught up in the rumours of the Beckham family feud, with insiders calling the daughter of Billionaire Nelson Peltz ‘spoiled’.

As the youngest daughter of US billionaire businessman Nicola reportedly got whatever she desired, according to claims from an inside source. Insiders close to the family say he ‘threw money at anything and everything’ including the two Los Angeles homes where Nicola and Brooklyn have resided together since they started dating in 2019.

This week it emerged that they had moved into a new £11 million five-bedroom home in Beverly Hills – near to where Brooklyn lived with his parents when they moved to California in 2007 after David signed for LA Galaxy football club.

Prior to this, the young couple lived in a £7.7million mansion, complete with gym and sauna, after selling their first home – an £8 million pad also in Beverly Hills. The properties were purchased with Nicola’s money, gifted to her by Nelson and his wife Claudia.

However, a source close to Brooklyn and Nicola has shut down the rumours that the couple are being ‘spoiled’ as they told The Mirror: “Nicola doesn’t deny she’s had a fortunate life, and she’s grateful for it. But she’s also been working for over 20 years, and now writes, directs, and produces her own projects. Her parents are proud to support their children, and the idea that this reflects poorly on them simply doesn’t hold up.

“Calling her spoiled is false. For her wedding, she requested donations to support Ukraine instead of gifts, and she runs Yogi’s House, a rescue that saves dogs from euthanasia in shelters. These one-sided and false attacks have gotten out of hand.”

It comes as David and Victoria have been accused of apparently not providing financially for Brooklyn. In recent months, relationships between Brooklyn, his wife Nicola and the Beckhams have become extremely strained, with people close to both sides engaging in a war of words.

Brooklyn has remained silent while his dad’s dreams of a knighthood finally came true. Brooklyn’s behaviour has reportedly rubbed his mum Victoria up the wrong way and she has been left ‘furious’ by his actions – or lack thereof

And the ongoing feud between the Beckhams and their son Brooklyn is only escalating, with friends of David and Victoria’s reportedly accusing Nicola of “deliberately” rubbing it in. Brooklyn and Nicola have distanced themselves from Victoria and David, following a series of snubs.

Although their eldest son Brooklyn and his nepo-baby wife Nicola are keeping quiet on the situation, as are the Beckhams, the couple have been notably absent from a slew of family-centred events and social media posts – or lack thereof – have spoken volumes.

The previously close-knit family has gone ahead with events, including David’s 50th birthday celebrations and his long-awaited knighthood, but Brooklyn and Nicola have shunned it all by not turning up to events or acknowledging the special occasions on social media.

Meanwhile, the pair have publicly praised Nicola’s parents numerous times on social media. Back in April, the couple posted an Easter basket they received from her parents, with the pair issuing a ‘thank-you’ to them on Instagram – despite Brooklyn completely ignoring his mum on Mother’s Day just weeks before.

Father’s Day also went without mention from Brooklyn, but Nicola gushed over her father, billionaire businessman and investor Nelson Peltz. According to a friend of the couple, it has been a particularly painful time for the Beckhams.

Speaking to the Mail, a source said: “It all feels very pointed. Like Brooklyn and Nicola are deliberately trying to rub David and Victoria’s noses in it.”

There’s potentially devastating scenes ahead as disaster hits the street after a house party. Aadi Alahan decides to throw a gathering, only for troublemaker Brody Michaelis to bring a bottle of LSD.

Aadi spots the drugs and kicks Brody out of the party, leading to chaos as he refuses to go before finally fleeing. But Aadi makes a decision he could live to regret when he, Nina and Summer decide to drink the LSD.

Aadi leaves his unattended only for someone else to accidentally drink it. What follows is a dramatic turn of events with Nina and Summer high only to be left terrified when they hear sirens, with it hinted something bad has happened.

As the week goes on, Nina and Summer retrace their steps looking for answers. As for another resident, the person who took the third cup of LSD is left in a bad way and their condition deteriorates.

While the full scenes and what happens in the fallout are being kept under wraps, what we can say is it’s a huge storyline for all those involved and the wider community. Our soap insider has teased what goes down, after spoilers and a press release hinted at twists and turns for the soap’s next big plot.

“There’s a big mystery unfolding for one pair of characters, but what they get up to is being kept under wraps,” our insider revealed. “Viewers will need to tune in to see some of the twists the soap has in store – it’s definitely an unmissable week.”

After the big party, the police come knocking to ask Aadi about reports of drugs at the party, but will he reveal all? At the end of the week Nina is left making a confession to Roy, who urges her to speak to the police.

But what has happened and will she face trouble? Summer and Nina are shown looking scared and emotional in spoiler images, while full details are yet to be announced.

Our insider shared: “We find one character could be in peril as events at the party take a worrying turn. We can’t give anything away, but the repercussions of the drugs at the party impact multiple people, and the consequences could be huge.”

Spoilers teased the night would be “unforgettable” for those involved, with a “dramatic sequence of events” set to occur. It’s also claimed Lauren Bolton, who attends the party, will be left “unwell” and facing “a nightmare situation”.

But what does she need to “escape” from? What has been revealed is that “disturbing” events take place with secrets covered up, and a huge aftermath for residents to deal with.

Sarah Meyers was dubbed the ‘Baby in Pink’ because she was left wrapped in a pink towel. Now she’s the youngest ever searcher on Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace

Abandoned in a multistory carpark at barely an hour old, wrapped in a pink towel, Sarah Meyer is now the youngest ever searcher on ITV ’s hit show Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace.

Dubbed the ‘Baby in Pink’ in the press, Sarah was found as a newborn in the car park in Camberley, Surrey, in 2001, wrapped in a pink towel and white shawl inside a holdall. The discovery sparked a nationwide search for her mother, with a police sergeant even appearing with Sarah on This Morning with Judy Finnegan. Judy said: “This little sprog was abandoned in a multi-story carpark. She was barely an hour old, weighing just 7lbs.”

But sadly, despite many appeals, Sarah’s birth mother did not come forward, and Sarah was adopted at three months by Jo and Pierre, who already had an adopted daughter Jess. In emotional scenes to be screened on an upcoming episode of Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace, 24-year-old Sarah tries to find out her birth story.

Hosted by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell, the spin-off helps foundlings, people left as babies, often in extraordinary places such as a phone box, a cardboard box or on church steps. It was revealed that when Sarah was found, her umbilical cord had been cut, but it hadn’t been clamped, which suggests it could have been a home birth. Police sent Sarah straight to hospital, where nursing staff took her under their wing.

Sarah, who still has the towel and holdall, says: “On the news, I was the Baby in Pink because I was in the pink towel wrapped in the blanket. “I was named Caroline after the nurse who looked after me and Pembrooke after my car park. It’s like a little secret identity of mine. Now my middle name is Caroline.”

Sarah and her sister Jess were always told they were adopted. She says: “I want my birth parents to know that they shouldn’t feel any remorse because I’ve had a wonderful life. But I’d like an explanation because it is something that is missing, to know where I come from. Why was I abandoned?” In the show, Sarah returns to the car park where she was found and notices she was left in a busy area and wonders who actually left her. She says: “I was an evening baby and 30 minutes to an hour old. So I was literally fresh out of the womb.”

In a police evidence box, Sarah also has a letter, sent to the police ten days after she was found – but the typed, unstamped letter gave no clues. It reads: “Please look after my little girl. I love her so much, but just can’t cope with another baby. Thank you to all the police officers involved, hospital staff, and the members of the public for their help. Thank you.”

Sarah meets up with Police Sergeant Wendy Whiting, who was the first on the scene and stayed across the case. Wendy, who reveals the lady who found Sarah at first thought she was a bomb, says: “I remember the radio message coming out and thinking, ‘Did I just hear that right?’ An abandoned baby, no clothes on, we were concerned.”

Given that Sarah is only 24, the LLF research team quickly manages to discover significant news – they track down both Sarah’s birth parents. Sarah’s birth mother was in her late teens when Sarah was born and already had a child. Unfortunately, being found has proved difficult and she doesn’t respond to the team’s approach.

Sarah, who now lives in Northern Ireland with her partner Shannon and has a cybersecurity degree, says: “It’s good to hear that she’s at least alive and is out there. It leaves the door open for her to come and meet me if she wants to. I’ll never close that door. I respect that it’s such a big thing for her. I understand that she might not be ready. I want her to see that I’ve lived a good life and that I’m not angry with her.”

In more positive news, Sarah’s father, who has a partner and daughter, reveals he had no idea that she existed but would be thrilled to get to know her. Staying anonymous to protect the birth mother’s identity, he is choked with emotion as he says: “It’s very hard to process, that I didn’t know, that I wasn’t there.

“It’s very upsetting to know that my daughter was just left there in that situation. Anything could have happened to her.” He wonders if his late mother, who worked on the hospital unit where Sarah would have been taken, might have seen her baby granddaughter.

In true Long Lost Family style, there is an exchange of photos and then a tearful reunion as Sarah finally meets her birth father, and the pair notice physical similarities as well as common interests. He says: “My daughters can get to know each other and we can all be a family together.” Sarah adds: “I’ve been waiting a long time, I just didn’t think it would be possible. He was as I imagined and more, beyond what I expected. I can’t wait to get to know him more. The past is in the past and the adventure is only beginning.”

*Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace continues on ITV on Wednesdays at 9pm.
