Prince Harry has had a “very upsetting shock” after his strongly worded defence of wife Meghan Markle was quietly deleted by the Royal Family.

 

The Duke of Sussex issued the statement against the press in November 2016 as he raged at the media for “racial undertones” in regards to his then girlfriend Meghan. But in a surprising move Harry’s staunch defence has been removed from royal.co.uk after seven years.

Now, royal author Tom Quinn, claims the removal was a “very upsetting shock” for Harry.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, he said: “The statement was a scathing attack on the press and King Charles knows that he needs to keep the press on the side and work with rather than against the media.

“For Harry removing the statement will be a real and very upsetting shock – he will see this as the Royal Family shutting him down, erasing an important part of the anti-media crusade Harry has waged for so long.”

Tom says Harry would have wanted the statement to remain on the Royal website “as a permanent reminder that Meghan and Harry are victims not aggressors.”

Harry’s statement was released by former Kensington Palace communications secretary Jason Knauf days after Harry’s relationship with Meghan was made public.

 

It came following an article in The Mail on Sunday which read: “Harry’s girl is (almost) straight outta Compton: Gang-scarred home of her mother revealed—so will he be dropping by for tea?”

The statement read: “His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment.

“Some of this has been very public – the smear on the front page of a national newspaper; the racial undertones of comment pieces; and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments.

“Some of it has been hidden from the public – the nightly legal battles to keep defamatory stories out of papers; her mother having to struggle past photographers in order to get to her front door; the attempts of reporters and photographers to gain illegal entry to her home and the calls to police that followed; the substantial bribes offered by papers to her ex-boyfriend; the bombardment of nearly every friend, co-worker, and loved one in her life.”

Meanwhile, it’s been reported that Prince Harry “can’t believe” he’s not in the VIP category that would afford him automatic state security as his legal row with the UK government rolls on, an expert claims.

 

News broke this week that the Prince has been given the green light to appeal a case he lost in the High Court against the Home Office, which downgraded his protection detail after he stepped back as a senior royal in 2020.

Kate Middleton gave up on ‘love’ after Prince Louis birth

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Tumblr Pinterest Reddit VKontakte Odnoklassniki Pocket

Kate Middleton’s love for sports has taken a back seat due to a major reason.
The Princess of Wales, who is an avid player of tennis, got herself laid back from the activity after welcoming son, Prince Louis.

In 2018, during a visit to Bond Primary School in Mitcham, South London, Kate admitted the reason she left playing tennis.
She told and admirer: “I’ve got lots of babies”. She said: “I love tennis, I think it’s a great sport, I was really sporty when I was little, less so now that I’ve got lots of babies!”

This comes as Kate famously faced off tennis star Rodger Federer to collect funds for Action for Children and the Lawn Tennis Association Foundation.

The two also featured in a video where Federer asks the Princess for a match.
He says in the clip: “Shall we play some tennis?”, with the Princess responding: “Yes, please.”

She said: “To see the training and the dedication and the amount of time that is put into the training and making sure this goes well on the day for the champions who are playing at Wimbledon. Yeah, it’s incredible to see it behind the scenes.

Kate Middleton Reportedly Wants ‘Nothing To Do’ With Prince Harry, Royal Author Says: She ‘Her Own Problems Now’

While there’s often news about the state of Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship, we hear very little about Kate Middleton and Prince Harry’s relationship. The pair once shared a close bond, but after royal journalist Omid Scobie named Kate Middleton in his book Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival  as one of the people that questioned the race of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Archie, prior to his birth, it seems their relationship may be beyond repair.

Kate Middleton Faces Racist Accusations

Years ago, when Harry and Meghan decided to not only leave the royal family but accuse them of horrendous things on television, Meghan claimed that members of the royal family expressed concern over the skin color of her unborn son, Archie. Late last year, Omid Scobie, longtime royal journalist and author of Finding Freedom: Harry and Megan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family, revealed in his book, Endgame, that Kate Middleton was supposedly one of these individuals.

Scobie has since claimed that the publication of Kate Middleton’s name was the mistake of translators and that he made no such accusation (the translators responded that they were simply translating what was written), but the damage was done. Many people accused Kate Middleton and the royal family of racism, and worst of all, Harry and Meghan never spoke out on the topic, despite their constant claims that the royal family never did anything to stop negative media attention on them.

Prince Harry & Kate Middleton Aren’t Close

Now, there has been much chatter over Kate Middleton’s health status, after she underwent a “planned abdominal surgery” in mid-January, and hasn’t officially been seen since. While the royal family did preface the surgery by saying that Kate would be recovering until Easter, which falls on the last day of March, the recent photoshop scandal has led to rumors over what’s really going on with Kate Middleton.

Through all of this, Prince Harry reportedly “hasn’t” reached out to check in on his sister-in-law. Christopher Anderson, author of William and Kate: A Royal Love Story spoke to Us Weekly on the topic. “I think there was once a relationship, a friendship, a very close one between Harry and Kate,” he said. “I’m sure he’s concerned about her as well, but I know that she wants to have nothing to do with them.”

Citing her recent health scare and photoshop scandal, he added that the Princess of Wales has “her own problems now.”

When asked if Harry had reached out to Kate to at least check in on her after her seemingly serious surgery, Anderson responded, “My understanding is he hasn’t, and it is a stalemate. They’re both on opposite sides of this wall and nobody has the courage to leap over it and really make an honest attempt.”

 

Kate Middleton major heartbreak at King Charles, Prince William’s future plans

Kate Middleton could be gearing for a major heartbreak over future of her kids in the wake of King Charles, Prince William’s plans for a slimmed-down monarchy.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, royal author Kate Williams discussed possibility of the pair’s younger kids, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, moving to London in their capacity as non-working royals in the future.

A friend of the Prince of Wales previously divulged the royal’s plans to follow in the footsteps of his father and keep the siblings away from duties when he becomes King in a conversation with the Daily Mail.

Reflecting on Charles’ decision to open Buckingham Palace to the public, Williams explained its importance in generating income for the royal collection.

Meanwhile, the 75-year-old uses Clarence House as his London home with Queen Camilla.
“On one hand, these palaces are great homes being conserved for future generations,” the royal author told the outlet. “On the other hand, they generate a lot of income for the royal collection and are great to visit.”

She explained: “We understand that King Charles is aiming for a slimmed-down Royal Family, so it means [minor royals] may have to go and live in non-palaces.

“He doesn’t really live in Buckingham Palace at the moment, he’s renovating it and using it more as an office.”
She added: “And it will be interesting to see how Prince William might approach them if he still has children living with him.

“Maybe in the future we’ll see Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis getting a flat in Shoreditch together.

Miriam Margolyes has revealed she has made an impressive £365,000 on Cameo as she causes chaos once again by swearing on Loose Women on Thursday

Miriam Margolyes has revealed she has made an impressive £365,000 on Cameo as she causes chaos once again by swearing on Loose Women on Thursday.

The actress, 83, has been busy making personalised videos for fans since March 2020 as she admitted she’ll do anything for money.

The Harry Potter star told Kaye Adams, Denise Welch, Olivia Attwood and Nadia Sawalha on the ITV lunchtime show that she is busy saving for when she eventually ‘needs carers’.

Miriam charges a staggering $170 (£135) plus for each video which can be either a birthday message, pep talk, a roast, advice or a question answered. Her average video length is two minutes long.

While discussing her money making side job, Miriam, who is known for her potty-mouth, instantly dropped a swear word during the lunchtime show.

She is famously very outspoken and has let slip many swear words and X-rated comments during her TV appearances over the years.

She said: ‘Since Covid I have made £365,000 through cameos and personalised videos.

‘One day I will need carers. I want to be comfortable and I want them to be properly paid for.

‘It is really because I want to make money though and they pay me to do it.’

Jokingly, Kaye asked: ‘Is there anything you wouldn’t do for money?’

She replied: ‘I wouldn’t ‘eat s***’. Am I allowed to say that?

‘No’, replied Kaye.

‘Oh ok I wouldn’t eat faeces’, she added.

Miriam’s bio description reads: ‘Miriam Margolyes is a true legend whose personalized videos are the perfect mix of hilarious and heartwarming.

‘Her fans love how she unleashes her signature potty-mouthed charm, whether she’s roasting their loved ones or sending birthday wishes.

‘Miriam’s videos often include references to her most famous roles, Harry Potter and The Real Marigold Hotel, and she’s always happy to deliver a Cameo for hardcore fans. If you’re looking for a uniquely Miriam message that will have you laughing until you cry, this is the Cameo for you!’

Miriam is well known, and much-loved, as Britain’s naughtiest national treasure and has left fans in stitches for years with her swearing-laden stories and jokes, often at her own expense.

And her potty-mouth and hilarious personality seems to be going down a hit on Cameo as the actress has received 1270 five star reviews with fans gushing her videos are ‘marvellous’ and ‘moved them to tears’.

‘What a great video message from Miriam. She expressed everything I mentioned with her own unique touch as only Miriam can. We loved it.’

‘Oh that was just marvellous. Thank you so much. What a lovely message with a fab little “bugger ‘em” thrown in for good measure! I’m sure she’s going to love it!!! Xxxx’

‘My sister was moved to tears with Miriam’s heartfelt message. It was a complete surprise and really made her 50th birthday celebrations that little bit more special. Thank you Miriam, we hope you’re feeling a lot better and enjoying life.’

‘Miriam Margolyes did not disappoint. But she’s frickin’ Miriam Margolyes, how could she disappoint? Six out of 5 stars.’

The star is known for openly expressing her feelings and over the years she has given her verdict on a number of A-lister celebrities including Lily Allen and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Earlier this year, Miriam was asked which celebrities she dislikes and revealed she had a less than favourable experience with singer Lily Allen when the two appeared together on The Graham Norton Show back in 2014.

In a 2014 episode of BBC’s The Graham Norton Show, Miriam, 83, was a guest alongside Dominic Cooper and Lily Allen, 39.

Yet Miriam clashed with Lily, with the actress explaining:  ‘She thought when she was on the programme that it was all about her.’

Miriam continued: ‘She thought: “Who is this woman? Miriam who?” She wasn’t friendly and I didn’t like that and so I showed my dislike, which wasn’t very nice of me because she was much younger than me and I should have just taught her how to behave.’

In 2022, Miriam branded Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio ‘smelly’ during a live appearance on This Morning.

The star discussed working alongside Leonardo in the 1996 Baz Luhrmann adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.

Miriam shocked the hosts when she announced: ‘He was a bit smelly because it was very hot in Mexico and young boys don’t make themselves fragrant, they don’t wash all the bits!’

She went on to note that she’d advised one of the This Morning production team to look into their personal hygiene, leaving Holly and Phil hiding behind their hands.

Miriam has not held back on the Rolling Stones front man either, calling him a ‘miserable c**t’.

She took exception to him after they met backstage and said that she didn’t like his music either.

Around 20 years ago she appeared on stage with his then girlfriend Sophie Dahl in The Vagina Monologues.

Mick would pop in to watch some of the shows.

Miriam said: ‘He used to come backstage and he was just a miserable c**t. He was unfriendly, and I don’t think he treated her very well. He was much older than her and I thought he was up himself. I never listen to that kind of music anyway. I’m a musical snob, so I wasn’t impressed by him’.

Meghan Markle accused of idea theft

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has stepped into the spotlight once again, this time with her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. But her entry into the industry hasn’t gone unnoticed—especially by the reigning queen of domesticity, Martha Stewart.

Martha’s Displeasure

Reports suggest that Martha Stewart isn’t thrilled about the comparisons between her and Meghan. The seasoned lifestyle guru, who has built an empire over decades, finds it irksome to be pitted against what she considers a “rookie.” According to insiders, Stewart is tired of fielding questions about Meghan’s venture, dismissing them as irritating and insulting. After all, she’s seen countless aspirants come and go, only to discover that the lifestyle game is more complex than it appears.

Meghan’s Ambitions

Meghan’s brand promises a delectable array of products: jams, fruit butter, serving ware, table linens, and even dog food. And let’s not forget the cooking show on Netflix that will accompany the brand’s launch. But it’s not just about the goods; Meghan aims to carve out her niche in the lifestyle world. Unlike Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop, which drew Martha Stewart’s ire in the past, Meghan plans to focus on food and drink, making her offerings more accessible to the public in terms of pricing.

Idea Theft Accusations

In the latest on copying ideas, Meghan Markle was accused of stealing from Martha Stewart for her lifestyle blog American Riviera Orchard.

As per a royal commentator, the Duchess of Sussex took the name which was already filed previously, adding more feul to talks of the former actress not being original with her work.

Behind the Scenes: Martha’s Competitive Streak

Martha Stewart’s competitive spirit is legendary. She built her brand from scratch, relying on raw talent, hard work, and an original vision. Now, as Meghan enters the scene, Stewart isn’t holding back. If the Duchess thinks she can replicate success merely because of her royal status, she’s in for a surprise. Stewart won’t hesitate to challenge her. Behind the camera-friendly facade, she remains as fierce and determined as ever.

Meghan’s Make-or-Break Moment

Despite Martha’s skepticism, Meghan sees her venture as a pivotal opportunity. This is her chance to prove herself in Hollywood, independent of her royal ties. Whether she can truly take on the likes of Martha Stewart, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Ina Garten remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Meghan is ready to play the game and make her mark.

Cooking Up Success

Meghan’s journey isn’t entirely uncharted. She’s dabbled in cooking projects before, and now she’s set her sights on a grander stage. As she steps into the ring with the lifestyle titans, we’ll be watching closely. Will American Riviera Orchard flourish, or will Martha Stewart’s legacy remain unchallenged? Only time—and perhaps a dash of culinary magic—will tell.

In a candid revelation, Prince Harry has opened up about a heated physical altercation with his older brother, Prince William. The incident, which occurred at Nottingham Cottage within the grounds of Kensington Palace, sheds light on the complex dynamics within the royal family.

Prince Harry has revealed the first person he called after having a physical row with his brother William – and it wasn’t his wife.

 

 

Meghan Markle’s cr*el words about Princess Charlotte that caused unending tears for Princess Kate revealed

Meghan Markle’s “cruel” words about Princess Charlotte apparently reduced Princess Kate to tears and further cemented the rift between them that has continued to this day.
In spite of Meghan finding herself in a similar position to Kate when she married Prince Harry, as a non-aristocratic outsider joining the Firm, the two women struggled to build a friendship.

In the run-up to Meghan and Harry’s May 2018 wedding, tensions reached fever pitch, as it was reported at the time that the Duchess of Sussex made Kate cry in a row over bridesmaid’s dresses.

However it was later clarified that it was in fact Meghan who had been crying, and Harry also confirmed that Kate had sent flowers over to apologise.
But in the book ‘Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War between the Windsors’ author Tom Bower adds further fuel to the fire by claiming that Meghan compared Charlotte to her best friend Jessica Mulroney’s daughter Ivy.

Mr Bower’s book quotes unnamed sources that said Meghan “compared Princess Charlotte unfavourably to her best friend Jessica Mulroney’s daughter”.
According to MailOnline, the book claims that Kate had been “tired” following the birth of her third child Prince Louis, who arrived in April just weeks before the wedding.

The now-Princess of Wales was reportedly “too fatigued” to argue with Meghan over whether or not her bridesmaids should wear tights, although royal protocol suggested they should.
But the Duchess was firm in her mind that her bridesmaids should not wear tights, and was backed by her then-close friend Jessica Mulroney.

They also disagreed about the hem of Princess Charlotte’s dress, which Kate “felt was too short and anyway did not fit”, the book claims.

Meghan’s inability to “compromise” made Kate upset, but three years later Meghan was able to give her side of the story in her and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The Duchess explained: “She [Kate] was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologised. And she bought me flowers.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining – yes, the issue was correct – about flower girl dresses, and it made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings
And I thought, in the context of everything else that was going on in those days leading to the wedding, that it didn’t make sense to not be just doing whatever everyone else was doing, which was trying to be supportive, knowing what was going on with my dad and whatnot.

“It wasn’t a confrontation, and I actually think it’s… I don’t think it’s fair to her to get into the details of that, because she apologized.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ‘growing rift as Duchess feels under siege’

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced a lot of pressure since leaving the UK and settling in America, with one expert saying the Duchess of Sussex has ‘concerns’ about future

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been facing an uphill battle in recent weeks and one expert fears the pressure could be taking its toll.

The couple have had to work hard after quitting the Royal Family and moving to America. They’ve faced highs and lows, with their exclusive Spotify deal being axed and worries about the future of their Netflix partnership surfacing.

Royal author Tom Quinn has said Harry and Meghan are now struggling because of the setbacks. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror US, he said: “There is a growing rift between Harry and Meghan caused by Meghan’s increasing concern that her life is not going in the direction she had planned – she loves media attention and hates the fact that surveys suggest she and Harry are no longer of much interest to the American public.”

Meghan and Harry signed a five-year deal with Netflix when they stepped down from the Royal Family. While Meghan is set to launch a brand new show soon, there has been no news on whether their contract will be renewed.

The Duchess of Sussex has also launched her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, but is yet to sell any products to her waiting fans. Quinn said: “With news that the couple’s Netflix contract may be under threat, along with the mockery that greeted the launch of her online brand, Meghan feels very much under siege.”

American Riviera Orchard was launched in March, with very few details being revealed about what Meghan would be selling. It later emerged Meghan will be offering kitchen and homeware appliances, her own line of oils, nut butters, jams, and preserves, as well as home fragrances and furnishings.

When Meghan launched her brand, fans were excited. However, the initial buzz around the company has died down and Quinn believes Meghan would have been devastated following the lull in enthusiasm.

“The one fly in the ointment is Meghan’s new internet brand, America Riviera Orchard. Meghan was in tears when the brand launched and her new jam was widely mocked for being expensive and nothing special,” he previously told us.

“She has reached the point now where she thinks that anything and everything she does will be unfairly criticized. Like her husband, she feels that people are unfairly picking on her – she cannot understand why people don’t admire her work.”

He claimed Meghan wasn’t prepared for any possible criticism she might face once American Riviera Orchard goes live later this year. “She is especially sensitive about any criticism of her luxurious lifestyle in the US – from her point of view this is something to be admired not criticized,” Quinn added.

Denise Welch addresses Stacey Solomon ‘refusing to work with her’ after Loose Women debate

Loose Women stars Denise Welch and Stacey Solomon had different opinions about working from home during a discussion on the topic last month.

Denise Welch has slammed suggestions that she and her fellow Loose Women co-star Stacey Solomon are at loggerheads, following their on-screen debate about working from home last month. As their opposing views unfolded during the show, social media users claimed that the pair probably won’t be on the panel together again anytime soon, which led to a report suggesting that Stacey had “refused” to do so.

Now addressing the debate a month later, Denise, 66, insisted that it had all been blown out of proportion. Explaining to podcast hosts in America what had happened, she said: “We had a discussion on a discussion show, where you’re supposed to discuss things and maybe disagree.

“We disagreed on something, it was about young people and work ethic and since Covid, have Gen-Z become a bit more lazy and entitled, it was one of those kind of Loose Women things. Stacey said something about nurses and the NHS which provoked a great big reaction, and I actually agreed with her.”

After later seeing a report that the Sort Your Life Out star had actually refused to work with her again, Denise said she had no choice but to call out the “complete lie” on her social media as she clarified on the Scheananigans podcast: “We’re encouraged to disagree about things, it’s a talk show!”

During the debate, mother-of-five Stacey, 35, stressed that jobs being remote with flexible hours for working families had made life easier, particularly for those with children.

Denise on the other hand said she felt as though there wasn’t enough staff available now and claimed the country is “grinding to a halt”.

The latter ranted: “We haven’t got the staff, where are the staff? They’ve disappeared!”

Stacey replied: “They don’t disappear because they’re working from home,” to which Denise then asked: “But, where are they Stace?”

Mother of the Year – DORIA RAGLAND spoke out: “My daughter is not interested in money and power; she is a brave queen”. She is proud of what raised Meghan today and thinks the criticism is due to jealousy

Meghan Markle’s mother Doria Ragland appeared to show off her close bond to Beyoncé’s mom Tina Knowles in newly released photographs, as they joined the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for an art exhibition in Los Angeles.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared in good spirits as they hosted a star-studded bash to celebrate The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection exhibition in Sofi Stadium in California on 21 March.

While attendees at the time shared social media photographs of the event, official images have now been shared by the Kinsey Collection on Instagram.

Meghan was elegant in a black jacket with white floral detailing for the occasion, pairing the look with a pair of dark trousers and ballet pumps.

Meanwhile she wore her hair down in loose waves around her shoulders. Prince Harry looked smart in a white shirt and black suit.
