Saira Khan has shared the struggles that have left her feeling like a ‘dishevelled mess’ in a candid social media post. While the TV star said her hormones might be at play, she stressed that life often feels too ‘overwhelming’.

Posting to Instagram yesterday, the ex-Loose Women star said: “This rant is for any woman, a mother, who works or runs her own business, is going through hormonal change, and just feels like it’s too much. It’s overwhelming.

“And people just don’t understand the f***ing effort that you put into every day and people go, ‘It’s brain fog’. I’m not f***ng surprised it’s brain fog because my brain is thinking about the dogs, the washing up, the cooking, the cleaning, the work that I’ve got to do.

“And then I’m thinking about the next day and it’s like, I’m not saying that it’s just us women that do that, but it does feel like in my household, and in many households up and down this country, if you are a strong driven woman, they pile it on.”

Now 55, Saira said she’s taking HRT to balance her hormones, but isn’t having too much success thus far. She acknowledged this as an ‘underlying irritation’ but also said the people around her just aren’t helping enough.

She explained: “And then on top of that, we’re going to a festival, they’re all upstairs getting ready, the dog hasn’t been fed, the dog hasn’t been walked, the washing’s still in, things haven’t been put away.

“The f***ing bins are overflowing. We are going away for four days, right? I don’t want to come back to a f***ing s***hole. And then I’m running a business, which I love, it’s my passion, but it’s in a growth spurt. So, I’m like, I’ve got to also be thinking about that, trying to work at the same time.”

Worried she’s ‘losing the plot’, Saira told her family to go to the festival without her so she could spend some time alone before joining them. She asked her fans if they had ever experienced something similar.

“The biggest rant EVER of a middle-aged working mum,” Saira added in the post’s caption. “If anyone else feels the same way, please let me know because I feel like it is just me having these episodes where I just cannot cope with the reconsideration! I look like a state…. But that’s what I’m driven to… a dishevelled mess!”

Saira’s post was quickly flooded with comments from fans, many of whom also empathised with the challenges women face in households. One person wrote: “OMG Saira you just described my life!! I feel your pain.”

Meanwhile, another added: “I feel exactly the same and I don’t have as much on my plate as you.” Someone else also added: “This has been me today!

“Why are there three of us in this house, but I am the only one: washing, cleansing, arranging the meals, doing the shopping, worrying about school uniforms and play dates and holiday clubs and birthday presents and holidays and the dog and myself and the car and and and and AND!!”

EXCLUSIVE: Molly Mae has had a tough few weeks after being trolled for being ‘out of touch’ and now a PR expert has claimed that the Love Island star could be losing her ‘golden girl’ status

Molly-Mae Hague broke down in tears last week after being slammed, yet again, for being ‘out of touch’ by fans. Now, a pr expert tells OK! that they believe the golden girl’s popularity is on the wane and her star power could ‘all be over’.

The 26-year-old, one of Love Island ’s biggest success stories with an estimated net worth of £6m, had claimed on of her vlogs that she’s done ‘nothing fun this summer, despite taking several lavish holidays posted on social media. Most recently, she headed off on a family trip in her £86K motorhome, after which she confessed she felt ‘overwhelmed’ and had a ‘breakdown’, when her daughter Bambi, 2, who she shares with partner Tommy Fury, was overtired and screaming for hours.

Molly burst into tears on her YouTube vlog

While some sympathised with the challenges of travelling with a little one, others were quick to criticise Molly-Mae for complaining, pointing out her affluent lifestyle and frequent luxury vacations, labelling the influencer and entrepreneur ‘tone deaf’.

Our mole claims that such posts really upset the mum-of-one, and the negativity can bring her down. “She does get upset that she’s constantly in the firing line from the public, but she also doesn’t understand why because she doesn’t feel like she’s done anything wrong. She works hard and is proud of what she’s achieved.”

The mum-of-one hit headlines recently when she complained in a YouTube video that she hadn’t done anything fun over the summer months. “I said to a friend the other day, that I’m going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing,” she said to camera. “I haven’t a life. That’s not good is it. Summer will end and I’ve not done one fun social thing.”

Some fans, however, were quick to point out several of Molly’s outings this year; including trips to Dubai, a holiday to Disneyland, a city break to Budapest, their recent motorhome holiday to the Isle Of Man and attendance at high profile events such as Wimbledon, before which she spent thousands of pounds at Christian Dior to wear to the tennis tournament.

Hitting back at the trolling she has received in a recent video, Molly claimed that she ‘doesn’t’ care’ about the backlash, but said it does make her ‘nervous’ to talk openly with fans. “I don’t care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that’s going on on TikTok at the minute, I don’t care I’m not going to not talk about it.

“I feel like I don’t want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I’m talking about at the minute, it’s just a lot.”

Never one to shy away from her struggles, Molly has admitted to having a tough time with Bambi in recent months. She said in one YouTube video, “I’m having one of those toddler mum days, where I question, ‘am I actually cut out for this?’

“Every single thing I try and ask her to do, she will not listen to me… She hasn’t eaten in like three days because she is refusing to eat. I’m finding it really hard.” Adding that Tommy seems to take parenting more in his stride, Molly admitted that it’s ‘tough’.

Speaking of the recent backlash, PR expert Lynn Carratt believes Molly Mae is definitely at risk losing her ‘golden girl’ status. She tells new: “Some of the things that she’s saying are coming across as out of touch with reality.

“Molly was the sweet, girl next door on love island, and she had a true love story with Tommy which people really bought into and was very likeable. Men fancied her, girls wanted to be her. She came across as an inspiration. Now, she’s flying all over the world on private jets and sadly, it’s just not relatable anymore.”

Lynn continues: “In the last year or so, it seems like she’s been falling from grace – her days at the top of the showbiz pile could be over.”

“She shouldn’t have to hide her lifestyle or money because she’s earned it, but at the same time, we’re in a cost of living crisis. People don’t always want to see influencers flying across the world in private jets.”

“It is really hard for Molly being a working mum, as it is for all working parents. And it is good that she’s being open about her struggles. But she needs to really think about a PR strategy to bring fans back on side.”

Molly rose to prominence on Love Island in 2019, where she met Tommy Fury, also 26, and came second place with the boxer, whose brother is boxing star Tyson.

After the show, she signed a major deal with e-retailer PrettyLittleThing, eventually becoming their creative director while working with brands like Beauty Works and creating her own fake tan business, Filter By Molly Mae. She then parted ways with PrettyLittleThing to build her own fashion brand, Maebe, launched last year.

Now, she has a hit Amazon Prime docuseries currently filming for season two and resides in a multi-million pound home in Cheshire with her and Tommy’s two-year-old daughter Bambi. The couple, who got engaged in July 2023, announced their shock split last summer, before getting back together earlier this year.

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham looked loved-up whilst cuddled up together on a yacht amid their trip to France, where they’ve spent time with family and friends, this week

Married couple David Beckham and Victoria Beckham put on a loved-up display whilst on vacation together. They were seen cuddled up onboard a yacht this week whilst enjoying a trip abroad with some of their family and pals.

David, 50, and Victoria, 51, who have been together for almost 30 years, have been on a summer holiday to St. Tropez with some of their children lately. The group have been spotted soaking up the sun on the trip to France this week.

The couple were seen putting on an affectionate display whilst onboard their yacht on Wednesday as their time off the coast continued. It comes after Cruz Beckham ‘steals’ his dad’s tiny white trunks and family have epic response.

David was seen lying on a deck chair on the boat as his wife Victoria straddled him. The couple had their arms around each other at one point during the outing, with them spotted embracing on the top deck of the yacht.

Retired footballer David was shirtless and wearing a pair of green swimming trunks, that he’s also modelled in an outdoor shower on the trip. Former Spice Girls member Victoria instead sported a black gymwear when she cosied up to him.

David and Victoria have spent time with family and friends on the yacht this week. They are understood to have been joined by their youngest children Romeo Beckham, 22, Cruz Beckham, 20, and Harper Beckham, 14, on the vacation.

The couple, who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary last year, have also welcomed the likes of Gordon Ramsay, 58, and his wife Tana Ramsay, 50, onboard. Victoria’s pal Eva Longoria, 50, was also spotted on the boat this week.

The Beckhams’ trip to St. Tropez comes shortly after their son Brooklyn Beckham, 26, was in the coastal resort with his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, and his in-laws. It’s been teased that the families narrowly avoided running into each other.

Brooklyn spent time with his in-laws, including Nicola’s father Nelson Peltz, 83, on their trip abroad. It comes amid speculation that he “doesn’t really feel like he fits into” his own family at the moment amid rumours of a rift.

In recent months, there’s said to have been tension between Brooklyn and his parents. Earlier this year, there was said to be “distance” between them and it was recently reported that Sir Elton John, 78, has acted as “peacemaker”.

Family friend Elton is said to have caught up with Brooklyn, who is his godson, and Nicola for lunch in Cannes whilst the couple were on their holiday to France last month. A source told the Sun: “[Elton’s] utterly neutral in this row.”

They said: “Elton and [his husband] David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short – and to patch things up.” The source said that the group had a “really fun long lunch” though, adding: “Besides a very brief chat on the subject that dare rear its name, they discussed loads of other, much more lighthearted matters.”

Donald Trump talked about his admiration for the Royal Family during a press conference in Scotland – but some were left convinced his words were a swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Donald Trump has been accused of taking another swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – this time on his trip to Scotland.

The US president has been visiting his golf courses in both Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire over the last few days – and also holding talks with the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer. The pair took part in a joint press conference, where Trump fielded questions on a range of topics as the PM watched on. At one point in the proceedings, Trump began to talk about his love of the Royal Family, with King Charles set to host him on a state visit in the coming weeks.

He said: “Being with Charles, Camilla and everybody, I’ve got to know a lot of the family members. They are great people. They are really great people.”

However, he followed up with: “And in that sense, I think the UK is very lucky, you could have people that weren’t great people. I don’t know if I can say that, but you could have people that weren’t.”

And to some on social media, they took his words as “calling out” Harry and Meghan, with Trump known to not be a fan of the Sussexes.

Harry has long been berated by Trump since he and Meghan took the dramatic decision to quit as working royals and move to the United States more than four years ago.

Harry and Meghan have been embroiled in a war of words with Trump

Back in 2020, at the time of the last US election campaign between Mr Trump and Joe Biden, the Sussexes appeared in a video urging Americans to ‘vote against hate speech’.

While they did not specifically mention anyone by name, the remarks were interpreted as referring to Mr Trump and therefore an endorsement of Mr Biden, with some claiming it was a breach of the Sandringham Summit agreement, which was written up when the couple quit their royal duties in 2020. Later, Mr Trump spoke out, saying he was “no fan” of Meghan.

Fast forward to earlier this year, Harry has found himself in the centre of a row over his visa, which allows him to live in California.

After admitting to using marijuana, cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms in his controversial memoir Spare, a lawsuit from the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation argued that the US Government should release records about the Duke’s US visa application to show whether his drug use was disclosed.

Back in February, Trump ruled out deporting Harry, he took a brutal dig at Harry’s wife, Meghan, saying: “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.” And Harry appeared to hit back during a speech at the Invictus Games by criticising the “weak moral character in the world “.

After the royals’ summer break, Trump will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle during his unprecedented second state visit to the UK.

The US president will be accompanied by his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, on his state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19, Buckingham Palace said.

This will be Mr Trump’s second state visit to the UK – an unprecedented gesture towards an American leader, having previously been feted by a state visit in 2019. In February this year, Keir Starmer presented the US president with a letter from the King as he invited him for the visit during a meeting at the White House.

As the pair were sat next to each other in the Oval Office, Sir Keir handed the president the personal invitation, later saying, “This is truly historic and unprecedented”. After reading it, Mr Trump said it was a “great, great honour”, adding “and that says at Windsor – that’s really something”.

Reality TV duo Katie Price and Kerry Katona have called Strictly Come Dancing “too snobby” while also hinting they could return to one huge show

Katie Price and Kerry Katona have dismissed the idea of joining Strictly Come Dancing, claiming the BBC ballroom series is “too snobby” for them.

The long‑time friends, who first met in the late 1990s and became close after appearing together on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, are currently preparing for a nationwide tour this autumn.

While promoting the show, they reflected on their years in reality television and whether they might return to the jungle. It comes after Katie confessed that she has to use google maps to remind herself of her children’s birthdays.

Katie, 47, said: “Oh they’d never ask me. I didn’t win it or anything. I mean, if I got offered the jungle, I doubt I would because I’ve done it twice. But if I did, it’s the best show to do, I think.”

Kerry, 43, who won I’m A Celebrity in 2004, said she would be open to going back. “I’d do it. Again, it’s another adventure. I love the jungle,” she said. Katie added: “That’s what I mean – it is a good show.”

The pair joked that between them, they have ticked off nearly every major reality format. “Both me and Kate have done every reality show,” Kerry said. “We’re the reality queens. We’re part of TV history. When we did I’m A Celebrity, the ratings were the highest they’d ever had, and we were a part of that.”

However, there is one they haven’t attempted and that’s BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing. Kerry said: “The only one we’ve not done is Strictly.”

“They would never have us,” Katie replied. “They’re too snobby – Strictly for us.”

Despite that, both admitted they would like the chance. “I would love to do Strictly, I’m not going to lie,” Katie said. To which Kerry agreed: “I would love to do Strictly.” Katie then teased her friend: “But you can actually dance, so you’d be good at it.”

Kerry recalled her time on Dancing on Ice, calling it “a great adventure” and “a great memory”, but Strictly remains an unfulfilled ambition.

The pair’s upcoming tour, An Evening with Katie Price and Kerry Katona, will take them to 33 dates across the UK this autumn. The idea came after the success of their double act as Cinderella’s stepsisters in an adult pantomime.

The tour will see the two share stories from their careers, answer audience questions and offer fans an unfiltered look into their lives after decades in the public eye.

EXCLUSIVE: Loose Women’s Myleene Klass has opened up about the moment she caught her ex-husband Graham Quinn cheating on her with a famous star at her own birthday party

Myleene opened up about the moment she caught her ex cheating on her

Myleene Klass has talked about the devastating moment she caught her ex Graham Quinn cheating on her with a well-known celebrity at her own birthday party. Speaking on the We Need To Talk podcast, the Loose Women star, 47, alleged that the shock incident happened at her home, well before they married.

“I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony,” said Myleene. “I’m in my house, it’s my party. They weren’t having sex, but they were unzipping each other,” she claimed. “I kicked everybody out of the party – including his mum and dad.”

The mum-of-three didn’t name the celeb in question, but she added that the woman was famous for building “a family brand.” In the wake of the alleged dalliance, Myleene claimed Graham apologised and blamed it on alcohol. It comes after Cruz Beckham ‘steals’ his dad’s tiny white trunks and family have epic response.

Despite insisting she has “made peace with that situation”, Myleene says it turned her world upside down. “My life literally broke apart very, very publicly,” she told podcast host Paul C Brunson.

Despite happening over a decade ago, trauma therapist Stefan Walter tells new such a distressing discovery inevitably caused long-lasting scars. “Any betrayal shakes us to our core – we think we’re in a loving, trusting relationship, and that our partner is loyal to us, too. When those beliefs are suddenly shattered, it causes emotional trauma that can become hidden – sometimes for decades.”

Stefan likens Myleene’s experience to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), saying, “With something like this, you often keep reliving it and having nightmares. Emotional trauma is just as profound as physical pain, if not more so.”

He adds that Graham’s reported infidelity may have led Myleene to doubt herself. “We start to question ourselves and think, ‘Am I worthy?’ It can reactivate past trauma of times where we’ve not felt good or been overlooked, so it’s a very deep wound.”

Addressing the incident after so many years may help her lay old ghosts to rest. “It’s probably part of her healing. Talking about what she went through, showing how she’s rebuilt her sense of self without shame or embarrassment, is probably helpful,” Stefan adds.

Still, a source close to the star also tells new she may never fully recover from the heartbreak. “It may be years in her past, but Myleene found the whole thing deeply upsetting – in a way, it will never go away.

“She believes in love and wanted to stay married forever, despite some doubts beforehand. It was very brave of her to speak up. It’s only now, that she can be truthful about how much it affected her, as it was such a painful chapter of her life.”

Myleene and former bodyguard Graham got together when she was in Hear’Say and dated for six years before having baby Ava in 2007. Their second daughter, Hero Harper, was born in 2011 and they got married that October. Graham left six months later, and they divorced in 2013.

Myleene later said, “something didn’t feel right”, and that the night before their wedding, “I was in the bath and I was just sobbing.” She also told how the day was a disaster. “My best mate wasn’t even at my wedding,” she said. “It was miserable… I literally cried the entire reception.

Myleene said her life “broke” after she caught her husband cheating(Image: Getty)

“We had to haggle our way through with the restaurant, could we have some burgers and put the tables together? There was no planning – I wasn’t allowed to plan a wedding.”

Their eventual split came after Myleene suspected Graham had been unfaithful again. She says she turned up unannounced where he was working, adding, “I knew there’d been somebody in that room.” She also said Graham refused to sign a prenup, and that the financial mess sparked by their divorce affected her mental health. “I couldn’t breathe. Finances were spiralling. I thought, ‘I’m going to lose everything,’” she said.

Despite vowing never to marry again, she’s now engaged to Simon Motson, a PR guru she met on a blind date in 2015. She announced she was pregnant with their first child on Valentine’s Day in 2019, and gave birth to their son Apollo that August. His arrival was especially emotional as Myleene experienced four miscarriages before he came along. In an Instagram post in 2020 she wrote, “I am Mama to 7 babies, Ava, Hero, Apollo my rainbow baby and 4 little stars in the sky.”

The couple announced their engagement in September 2020, but are yet to reveal a wedding date. “It’s one of those things that’s rumbling along,” Myleene said last year.

Romantically, Simon popped the question on the fifth anniversary of their first date, after transforming their shed into a replica of the bar they met in. He borrowed the same table and chairs they sat on at London’s Little House private members’ club. Myleene recalled, “He even replicated the dinner – burger and fries, followed by cherry pie. When he got down on one knee and started fumbling under the table, I thought he was joking. Then I thought: ‘Oh my God, he’s for real.’ I was speechless.”

Kerry Katona and Katie Price appear to be following in Kris Jenner’s footsteps and have already mapped out their daughters’ rise to fame with a huge reality show

Katie Price and Kerry Katona could soon find themselves replacing original momager, Kris Jenner. Former singer Kerry and her glamour model icon Katie have appeared on dozens of reality shows over the course of their careers and now, they’ve set their sights on their daughters following in their showbiz footsteps.

It comes as no surprise that the daughters of two of the most recognisable women in the nation have allegedly been flooded with offers in the past to appear on various shows and now, Kerry admits it’s something she’s keen for her daughter Heidi to do, alongside Katie’s daughter, Princess Andre.

While Princess has bagged her own reality show, which Katie has spoken openly about, Kerry admits that she would love to see Heidi and Princess appear alongside one another on a completely different show. It comes after Katie Price worries fans with appearance in family photo after explaining weight loss.

The two stars met on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004, of which Kerry won, she hopes that the pair will one day find themselves in the jungle together.

“I’m desperate for ­Princess and Heidi to do the Jungle together, imagine,” Kerry said. In a joint interview with The Sun, Katie added: “I always say Love Island. Heidi and Princess need to do it together.”

Kerry commented: “The way I see it is, forget management, forget fame, what an amazing memory, what an ­amazing adventure. So I think if Heidi goes to Love Island for three months and has the best time then that’s amazing.” Meanwhile, she added that while people may be quick to criticise their children for being “nepo-babies”, she admits that everybody has a contact, somewhere.

She commented: “I can open a door for you. Whether you get through that door and you stay through it, that’s on your own f****ing merit. You don’t see Brooklyn Beckham playing f****ing football, because he’s sh*t.” But Heidi isn’t the only one of Kerry’s daughters that she’s encouraging to appear on Love Island.

Meanwhile, Katie’s daughter Princess has her own show coming out(Image: INSTAGRAM)

Speaking to the Mirror, she previously said: “Do Love Island make a sh*t load of money, Lilly!” Meanwhile, Katie has opened up about Princess’s upcoming show.

Speaking to her sister, Sophie, on their podcast, she said: “Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me.

“Everyone knows she’s doing this documentary – and I’m not in it. Certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.”

“You aren’t on brand, Katie. You are too risky, Katie, that’s why,” her sister retorted. “It’s pathetic. I’m her mother,” Katie snapped. “It’s so sad,” she lamented. “When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after…” Katie was then cut off by her sister Sophie, who encouraged her to “save it for another day.”

The MailOnline reported that dad Peter Andre and his wife Emily will be featured but Katie will be taking a back seat. A source said: “Katie will not be in Princess’s show, the decision has been made and it’s final. Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life.

“Television bosses were adamant that nothing was to be ‘staged’ to include Katie as it would not be a real and truthful insight into her life.” The show will follow Princess up to her turning 18 in June.

Coronation Street actress Sally Ann Matthews announced she will be leaving the show soon after 10 years in the role of Jenny Connor on the ITV soap, after fan speculation

A Coronation Street star has announced their departure from the ITV soap in a post, leaving fans “gutted”.

While Jenny has been a Weatherfield regular for the past decade, she actually debuted on the soap years earlier. Actress Sally took on the role back in 1986 and appeared until 1991, with another appearance in 1993.

But now the time has come for Jenny and actress Sally to move on, and taking to social media the star broke her silence. Stating she was ready for new roles, Sally did not specify the details about her departing the role or her character’s exit storyline.

She said: “I was supposed to stay for five months but ended up doing an extra ten years because I loved it so much! It’s time though to play those parts I always hoped I would when I’d ’grown up.’ Thanks Trafford Wharf Rd for the memories and endless laughter x.”

Sally had shared a picture from the filming of her comeback storyline, filmed in 2015, which saw her caught up in a plot with Kevin Webster and his young son Jack. Just earlier this year Jenny’s stepdaughter Daisy Midgeley fled, taking Jenny’s money with her.

One Instagram user said to Sally under her post: “What a fantastic 10 years you’ve had, here’s to the next 10 and I wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do next!” Another said: “NOOOOOOOO SAL.”

A third fan commented: “You know how much we absolutely adore you, absolutely gutted to see you go, Thank YOU for all the memories, you have my support forever and ever xxx.”

The comments kept in coming with one reading: “Omg Sal!!! thank you for all the memories, you’re the BEST ar Jenny will be so missed.” A further comment said: “Going to miss you on Corrie but excited to see your next chapter.” The Mirror has reached out to ITV for comment.

David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest son Brooklyn has distanced himself from his own family over recent months, having struck up a close bond with his wife Nicola Peltz’s family

Brooklyn Beckham ends feud with Becks following legal advice(Image: Booklyn Beckham/Instagram)

David Beckham’s son Brooklyn Beckham has ended the feud with Beck’s following a trademark battle with the beer company. The hot sauce business owner, who is currently estranged from his family, went up against the lager brewery over the term “Becks Buns”, with the US Patent and Trademark Office getting involved, reports claim.

In 2024, the 26-year-old’s Buster Hot Sauce Inc firm applied to officially trademark the phrase under classifications such as sauces, beers, wines, sauces and clothing, as well as kitchen knives. But Brauerei Beck & Co disputed the phrase over concerns it was too similar to the lager brand Beck’s, one of 21 it owns including Stella, Budweiser, Corona Extra, Skol and Carling.

Other terms it has instructed its lawyers to dispute include Secks, Brasserie Beck, Becks Master Brew and Buck’s Landing. It comes after Cruz Beckham ‘steals’ his dad’s tiny white trunks and family have epic response.

But Brooklyn was up against it when the lager giant hired hotshot lawyer Nadya Davis, from Holland & Hart LLP. To fight his corner, he enlisted Merchant & Gould P.C., whose twin headquarters lie in Washington DC and New York.

The warring sides came to an agreement that he could use the term, on the condition he removed the classifications relating to “Beer” and “Distilled spirits; wine; mirin in the nature of Japanese shochu-based mixed liquor” in “compliance with a third party agreement”. Unfortunately, things haven’t been as amicable between Brooklyn and his currently estranged family.

There is currently no sign of a reconciliation between Brooklyn, his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, and the rest of his previously close-knit family. With the alleged fallout initially between Brooklyn and his A List parents, David and Victoria Beckham, it’s now trickled down to the rest of the family, including his younger brothers, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20.

Both brothers appear to have unfollowed Brooklyn, their eldest brother, on social media. Meanwhile, Brooklyn has distanced himself from his family and instead seems to have grown close to his in-laws – Nicola’s parents Nelson and Claudia Peltz.

Brooklyn has snubbed his own family numerous times, including missing all his dad’s 50th birthday celebrations in May, Father’s Day and family holidays. He also failed to acknowledge David’s long-awaited knighthood achievement. To rub it in further, he went on holiday with Nicola’s family, having publicly sent his father-in-law Nelson Father’s Day wishes – and also visited the UK on the exact dates his family were abroad.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn has certainly been lapping up the luxury, having sailed into St Tropez on an 80-metre, £85 million yacht called Project X. The deluxe rented liner set back Nicola’s parents a mind-boggling £1.2million a week to hire.

It was a close shave, with Brooklyn narrowly avoiding an awkward run-in with his parents, who visited the French dock just two days later, which it is believed he was unaware of. They rocked up in their 40 metre vessel, Seven, which cost a meagre £16million, compared with the Peltz’s liner.

A source told the Sun : “Brooklyn’s yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It’s a financial flex. Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet.

“Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he’s clearly enjoying the spoils.” David and Victoria, who own their yacht that’s half the size of Brooklyn’s in-laws rented boat, went to Saint-Tropez with their sons Romeo and Cruz as well as daughter Harper.

However, a source told the Mirror that Brooklyn was unaware that David and Victoria were arriving in Saint-Tropez two days later. They added the couple had a lovely time and enjoyed the hospitality provided by Nelson.

Meghan Markle will turn 44 on August 4

King Charles has been tipped to mark Meghan Markle‘s birthday next month with a polite gesture, despite reported tensions within the royal family.

As Meghan’s 44th birthday approaches, royal watchers are speculating whether her estranged in-laws will mark the occasion on August 4. According to a former royal insider, the answer is likely yes.

Grant Harrold, who worked as a royal butler between 2004 and 2011, believes King Charles and Queen Camilla will send a birthday message to their daughter-in-law.

Speaking on behalf of online bingo site, Heart Bingo, Grant explained that, when it comes to manners, the royals remain “top of their game”.

King Charles’ ‘birthday gesture’ to Meghan Markle

“As far as the royal family congratulating or wishing a happy birthday, I believe the king and queen will wish her a happy birthday,” he said. “The thing with the royal family is that when it comes to politeness and manners, they are the top of the game. So, I still think they will still honour it. That’s my feeling.”

While Prince William is reportedly unlikely to contact Meghan personally, Grant also believes his wife Kate, Princess of Wales, may send a polite message on behalf of them both.

“Catherine might do it on behalf of her and William,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Grant expects that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will acknowledge Meghan’s birthday on social media as a way of inviting warm wishes from fans and followers.

“I’m sure we’ll see Harry do something on social media,” Grant said. “They’ll try to make people aware it’s her birthday, which is normal. Everyone deserves birthday wishes.”

Prince Harry to gift something ‘extra special’

While relations between Meghan and the royal family may be frosty, there’s no doubt that Prince Harry will go above and beyond to make the day special for his wife.

“He’s quite generous,” Grant noted. “I think he’ll go down the route of buying her jewellery or taking her away on holiday. I’m sure it’ll be something extra special.”

And in true royal tradition, he added, the gift may come with a quirky twist.

Grant said: “The royal family is famous for quirky, fun presents, so who knows. Maybe he might get her a piece of land on the moon. Or he might get her a title as a bit of a joke; you can get these Highland titles.

“He may get something a little bit quirky, a little bit fun. The royals normally try to give each other things that are a little bit different, the sort of things money can’t buy.”

Charles and Harry reconciliation

Meanwhile, Prince Harry has reportedly made a “significant gesture” toward mending ties with the royal family, particularly his father, King Charles.

According to the Mail on Sunday, the Duke of Sussex has offered to share his upcoming engagements with the royal household in advance, aiming to avoid scheduling clashes like his recent Angola trip, which coincided with Queen Camilla’s birthday portrait release.

Earlier this month, sources claimed that Harry’s team met with the king’s aides in London in a private “peace summit”.

The new proposed plan reportedly includes informing both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace of his movements ahead of time.
