Meghan Markle Faces Legal Battle: Oprah Seeks Huge Compensation Over Career-Damaging Claims

The royal family has always been a magnet for fascination, drama, and scandal, but the latest twist in the ongoing saga involving Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, threatens to ignite one of the most explosive legal battles in recent memory.

 

According to unconfirmed reports, media mogul Oprah Winfrey has allegedly sent a strongly worded legal letter to Meghan, demanding substantial compensation for what she claims were damaging lies and fabrications made by the Duchess during their groundbreaking interview last year.

At the heart of Oprah’s grievance is Meghan’s assertion that a member of the royal family had expressed concerns about the potential skin color of Meghan and Prince Harry’s then-unborn son, Archie. This incendiary allegation, which sent shockwaves through the monarchy, is now under scrutiny, with Oprah reportedly believing it to be demonstrably false.

As one of the world’s most respected and trusted interviewers, Oprah takes immense pride in her reputation for delivering honest, hard-hitting journalism. The suggestion that she may have been complicit in or misled by Meghan’s purported falsehoods is something she is reportedly unwilling to accept.

 

Reports indicate that Oprah is seeking millions of dollars in damages from Meghan and insists that the Duchess publicly apologize and retract her controversial comments from the interview. Failure to comply could lead to a highly publicized and potentially career-damaging lawsuit, further tarnishing Meghan’s credibility in the eyes of the public.

The stakes are extraordinarily high for both women involved. Oprah, who has built an unrivaled media empire and brand on her ability to connect with audiences and unearth revelatory interviews, faces the risk of immense reputational damage if it’s proven she was misled. For Meghan, a loss in this legal battle could mark a pivotal moment, potentially derailing her aspirations for a sustained career in entertainment and advocacy.

This clash epitomizes a battle between two formidable figures, each wielding immense wealth, power, and influence. The outcome of this legal showdown could have seismic repercussions not only for Oprah and Meghan but also for the entire narrative surrounding the royal family.

The seeds of this potential legal showdown were sown in March 2021 when Meghan and Prince Harry sat down with Oprah for a bombshell televised interview. During the interview, the couple made a series of damning allegations about their time as working members of the royal family, including accusations of racism, mental health struggles, and lack of support from the institution.

Perhaps the most explosive claim was Meghan’s revelation that there were discussions within the royal household about Archie’s skin color before his birth. This revelation ignited a firestorm in the media, with widespread condemnation of the alleged remarks as racially insensitive

The interview garnered record-breaking viewership globally, thrusting Oprah into the spotlight as the conduit through which Meghan’s accusations were broadcast to the world. Now, over a year later, it appears Oprah may be reconsidering her decision to amplify these specific claims, questioning their veracity or accuracy.

For Oprah, the stakes in this potential legal battle extend beyond financial compensation. As one of the foremost interviewers of our time, her entire brand and legacy hinge on her ability to extract truthful, authentic responses from her subjects. The suggestion that she may have been unwittingly complicit in spreading falsehoods challenges her reputation as a fair, impartial, and truth-seeking journalist.

On the other hand, Meghan has endured relentless public scrutiny and criticism throughout her tenure in the royal spotlight. Another high-profile legal setback could potentially signal the end of her ambitions for continued relevance and influence on the global stage.

This clash represents a showdown between two influential women who have overcome significant obstacles to achieve extraordinary success in their respective fields. Now, they find themselves on opposite sides of a potentially explosive legal battle that could reshape perceptions of the royal family for years to come.

While the outcome remains uncertain, one thing is clear: the world will be watching closely as this drama unfolds. With the reputations and legacies of two powerhouse women hanging in the balance, the fallout from this legal showdown is bound to be monumental. Its repercussions are likely to reverberate not just within the royal family but across the entire media landscape.

 

This high-stakes confrontation offers no shortage of intrigue, scandal, and potential for unexpected twists. Ultimately, the question remains: who will emerge victorious in this clash of titans? The answer could profoundly influence the future trajectories of two of the most influential women in the world.

ITV’s Loose Women erupts into laughter as Miriam Margolyes swears live on air

Loose Women was forced to apologise to viewers on Thursday afternoon after Miriam Margolyes swore live on air during her interview with the panel.

Loose Women descended into hilarity on Thursday’s show (July 4) when Miriam Margolyes dropped a swear word live on air.

The 83-year-old former Call the Midwife actress was on the ITV daytime programme to chat about her latest book, ‘Oh Miriam’, with host Kaye Adams and panellists Denise Welch, Olivia Attwood-Dack, and Nadia Sawalha.

Miriam candidly revealed the reason behind her book release, saying: “Because they paid me”, which sent the audience and panellists into fits of laughter.

Kaye quizzed her further: “Can they pay you to do anything Miriam? ” However, Miriam’s response was swiftly bleeped out due to its inappropriate nature, leaving the panel in stitches as Denise clapped her hand over her mouth in shock and Kaye shook her head disapprovingly.

Still laughing, Miriam questioned: “Am I allowed to say that, oh dear? ” before stating: “I wouldn’t eat faeces.”, reports the Express.

Kaye responded with a chuckle: “Thank you we do love the preferred name,” while the studio erupted with more laughter.

Nadia attempted to steer the conversation back by asking another question, but she stumbled over her words, clearly tickled by Miriam’s antics.

Later in the show, Miriam divulged another tidbit about her book, which recounts her personal stories and escapades, mentioning that it required legal vetting.

“It had to be excised by the legal people”, she disclosed, “I said things about people I didn’t like that could be libelous, and don’t want to get into a lawsuit.”

Another fan joked about her colourful language, commenting: “Potty mouth #loosewomen”.

A third simply said, expressing their appreciation for the actress: “I like her! “.

Meghan Markle and her betrayal of the Royal Family: What she did to Queen Elizabeth II before she died is unforgivable

The Duchess of Sussex has been accused of causing stress for the late Queen

Meghan Markle

 

Meghan Markle has been told her actions before the death of Queen Elizabeth II were “unforgivable” and caused a bigger criss than Princess Diana’s tragic death, according to a royal expert.

The former ‘Suits’ actress stepped down from her duty as a senior working royal along with her husband, Prince Harry, and moved to the United States to forge their own path in 2020.

But there have been several public spats between themselves and the Royal Family, owing much to their interviews criticizing the monarchs and the release of Harry’s controversial memoir ‘Spare’.

But Meghan’s particular role in the dysfunctional family may have contributed to the demise of the Queen, who died at the age of 96 in September 2022, according to historian and biographer Hugo Vickers.

Vickers made the startling comments while appearing on The Sun’s ‘Royal Exclusive’ show and called their feud the biggest crisis since Diana‘s death nearly 30 years ago.

“Well, 50 years doesn’t take in the abdication, so I suppose the death of Diana in 1997 was the big crisis point,” Vickers said.

“But, at the risk of being controversial, will the arrival of Meghan Markle prove to be a bigger one in the long run? Who knows.”

Meghan’s ‘unforgivable’ act

Meghan Markle has often pointed to her treatment from the UK media as a reason behind their family decision to leave for a new life in the U.S.

However, Vickers has cast doubt on that claim – and then went on to suggest Meghan‘s behavior exacerbated the Queen’s condition.

“I think it’s quite interesting all that because I was in Windsor the day they got married and the popularity and good will towards them was enormous,” he added. “I don’t think it was the press, she succeeded in evading that very, very quickly.

“What I find unforgivable, is the stress she put on the late Queen in the last couple of years of her life.”

In a candid and emotional TV documentary series titled “The Me You Can’t See,” Prince Harry delves into the depths of his personal struggles, revealing how the trauma of losing his mother, Princess Diana, continues to haunt him. The series, co-produced by Harry and U.S. talk show host Oprah Winfrey, sheds light on mental health issues and the impact of loss.

The Fear of Losing Meghan

Prince Harry speaks openly about the fear of losing his wife, Meghan Markle. He explains that this fear was one of the main reasons the couple decided to step back from their royal duties and relocate to California last year. Reflecting on his mother’s tragic death, Harry draws parallels to Meghan’s experiences, particularly the racist reporting in the British press and the abuse she faced on social media.

Haunted by Memories

The documentary captures Harry’s vivid memories of Princess Diana’s funeral. Walking behind her coffin through the streets of London, he recalls the sound of horses’ hooves along the Mall. Despite the public display of grief, Harry admits feeling detached, showing only a fraction of the emotion he carried within.

“My mother was chased to her death when she was in a relationship with someone who wasn’t white, and now look what’s happened. You’re talking about history repeating itself? They’re not going to stop until she dies,” Harry says in the mental health documentary series “The Me You Can’t See”.

“The thing I remember most was the sound of the horses’ hooves going along the Mall,” he said. “It was like I was outside of my body, just walking along, doing what was expected of me, showing one tenth of the emotion that everyone was showing.”

“It’s incredibly triggering to potentially lose another woman in my life,” he added, referring to Meghan.

Helplessness and Anger

Harry also shares childhood memories of being pursued by paparazzi while riding in the back of his mother’s car. The feeling of helplessness—being too young to protect Diana—still haunts him. He confesses to burying his emotions, coping with alcohol, panic attacks, and anxiety in his twenties. The relentless presence of cameras triggers anger, reminding him of the injustice his mother faced.

“One of the feelings that comes up for me always is the helplessness. Being a guy and being too young to help a woman, in this case your mother, and that happened every single day,” he said.

Seeking Healing

Now 36 years old, Harry has sought therapy to confront his past. His relationship with Meghan played a pivotal role in this journey. “If this relationship was going to work,” he says, “I had to deal with my past.” The couple married in May 2018, and Harry continues to navigate the complexities of loss, love, and healing.

Princess Anne once left Meghan Markle ‘SILLY’

Princess Anne issued some “no-nonsense” advice to Meghan Markle, a royal commentator has claimed.

The Princess Royal told the Duchess of Sussex that being a member of the Royal Family is a “job” as opposed to being a celebrity.

Royal commentator Neil Sean took to his YouTube channel to explain how Meghan “sought out” Princess Anne when she joined the Royal Family.

Sean said: “This senior royal takes no nonsense, much like her father the late Duke of Edinburgh.

“Apparently, when Meghan Markle joined the Royal Family, she sought out Princess Anne.

“According to a very good source, Princess Anne gave very sage advice to the new royal.”

The royal commentator opened up on the tough “no-nonsense” advice that Anne gave to Meghan.

“Princess Anne reiterated this mantra, she pointed out that it wasn’t a working monarchy, it was a job, you turn up on time, you do your research, and do the duty,” Sean added.

Princess Anne issued ‘sage advice’ to Meghan

“It’s all about the project at hand.

“She also pointed out that whatever charities you are involved in, you needed to get involved and get immersed.”

As opposed to taking the advice head-on, Sean claimed that Meghan “left the meeting dumbfounded”.

He continued: “According to a very good source Meghan Markle failed to warm to Princess Anne, and Princess Anne always knew that Meghan would have a very short shelf-life in the world of the British monarchy.”

Meghan Markle reportedly did not warm to Princess Anne, the commentator claimed

Loose Women’s Charlene White breaks down in tears live on air as ITV co-stars rush to support her

Charlene White broke down in tears live on Thursday’s Loose Women, as she opened up about adjusting to life without her mum, with her co-stars rushing into comfort her.

ITV News anchor Charlene was back at the helm of the Loose Women panel to be joined by Judi Love, Linda Robson and Olivia Attwood and one of the first topics of discussion on the hour long broadcast was coping with grief, with the conversation triggered by reports of Paul O’Grady’s husband planning to jet away for Easter, as he wanted to be ‘as far away as possible’ from where the late TV icon died, on the first anniversary of his sudden passing.

During the candid chat, Charlene opened up about losing her mum at a young age and how, she became overcome with grief at not having her around, she fell pregnant with her first child and it hit her the ‘one person’ she wanted around for help and guidance wasn’t there.

 

Recalling the moment when it hit her particularly hard, Charlene explained: “I was in the bath looking at my bump and that was the one moment since she died that I completely lost it. I just cried and cried and cried. And I just couldn’t stop, because grief sort of presents itself when you least expect it.”

She continued: “There were so many wonderful women in my life who wanted to…not replace, but be that missing part and I think I pushed them away, because the reality is, is that no-one knows me like my mum. So if I needed help, my mum would just know; if I was upset my mum would just know, because we’re connected to them.”

The tears came for Charlene when she admitted feeling ‘jealous’ of people having kids who did have their mums around, with her putting a tissue to her eyes and struggling to get her words out, as Judi rushed from the other end of the panel to go and give her a cuddle.

Still in tears, Charlene added: “I would feel jealous, because their mum’s knew when they needed them and I knew when I needed my mum and she wasn’t,” as Linda assured her: “She was there, because she’s watching over you.”

Emmerdale fans outraged as ITV soap pulled off air in last minute shake-up

Emmerdale has been cancelled last minute in yet another schedule shake-up for soap fans as ITV extended their Evening News coverage following the general election

Emmerdale: Tom electrocutes himself during rage in barn after miscarriage news

Emmerdale fans have been left fuming after the ITV soap was cancelled in a last minute schedule shake-up.

The serial drama was due to be shown at 8.30pm on Friday (July 5) but was taken off air. However, soap fans will still be able to watch Coronation Street at 9pm.

ITV extended their Evening News programme following the general election and fuming fans have since taken to social media to issue complaints as the tuned into the latest drama at Number 10 rather than Emmerdale village.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “Sick of football messing up the soaps. #Emmerdale taken off last min and it’s not even on ITVX.” Another added: “They have just pulled #Emmerdale ffs.” A third person said: “Why has the schedule just suddenly changed? Now doesn’t show #Emmerdale at half 8?”

Emmerdale’s Nicky Milligan and Suni Sharma quit the village earlier this week

It comes after Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Raman) and boyfriend Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope) made a swift exit from the village during Thursday’s (July 5) hour-long episode.

Nicky had been wanting to move away for weeks after learning that mum Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) was behind the hit and run on the late Ethan Anderson (Emile John).

But Suni wasn’t keen, as he wanted to stay close to half-brother Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson), who was also harbouring a huge secret. Both storylines collided on Thursday, as Jai’s wife Laurel Sharma (Charlotte Bellamy) recovered in hospital after her shocking heart attack.

The pair both had enough of their families
With the character said to be responding well to treatment, we soon saw Laurel telling Suni the truth – that Jai had conned him out of his inheritance after learning that their father Amit (Anil Goutam) was a murderer.

Suni was outraged, telling Jai that he would never forgive him and adding that Laurel deserved better. Suni immediately packed up his things, telling Nicky that he now hoped to get away with him after all. Nicky was blindsided, having tentatively began to make up with Ruby.

Meanwhile, grieving Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) woke up after spending the night on Caleb Miligan’s (William Ash) sofa, and found some paperwork that incriminated Caleb in the hit and run. Charles drove Caleb out of the village and confronted him, prompting Caleb to cover for wife Ruby by admitting that he was behind the wheel.

Charles Anderson confronted to Caleb Milligan over Ethan Anderson’s death ( 

Charles wanted revenge, or at the very least some justice for Ethan. But Caleb reminded the vicar that Ethan had died of natural causes, so there was no sense in placing blame for his untimely demise.

Ultimately, Caleb’s insistence at keeping the real truth hidden eventually led Nicky to agree to Suni’s plan, and the couple planned to make a fresh start together, with Nicky making peace with Charles before he left.

Just as Laurel ended her marriage and ordered Jai out of her life, Ruby shared an emotional farewell with Nicky and Suni, while Caleb could only stand back and watch as their son and his partner drove out of their lives.

Meghan trembles with fear as Trevor Engelson writes TELL ALL BOOK

Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly feeling anxious as news emerges that her ex-husband, Trevor Engelson, is set to release a tell-all book about their former relationship.

Royal expert Neil Shawn revealed in a recent YouTube post by P. Dina that Engelson’s upcoming book will provide an intriguing perspective on their past together.

According to Shawn, many individuals who have had personal experiences with Markle are eager to share their stories in new publications.

However, he emphasized that Engelson’s firsthand account holds particular significance.

The prospect of Engelson’s revelations seems to be causing distress for Markle, as she may fear the potential backlash from his side of the story.

While some may argue that Engelson has an axe to grind, it is undeniable that he possesses unique insights into their relationship.

This makes his narrative all the more captivating, as he can offer an authentic portrayal of what it was like to be married to the actress from Suits.

Shawn further explained that Engelson’s story is especially remarkable because he has never before spoken publicly about his time with Markle.

While we have heard Markle’s version of events, there are always two sides to every story.

Engelson’s perspective could shed new light on the rumors and controversies surrounding their past, such as Markle allegedly returning the engagement ring and requesting the return of household items.

In addition to the news about Engelson’s book, Shawn also shared that Prince Harry and Megan Markle are considering a return to social media after parting ways with their PR firm.

According to Shawn’s YouTube episode, the couple may be planning to reengage with social media platforms as a means to improve their public image.

It appears that they already have multiple social media accounts under different names, including their prominent Instagram account, Sussex Royal, which boasts approximately 9.6 million followers.

Shawn mentioned that Markle sees social media as an opportunity to freely express herself and control her own narrative.

However, he cautioned that returning to the online realm may also invite negative feedback and criticism.

Despite the potential drawbacks, Markle and Prince Harry seem determined to reconnect with their audience through social media.

Meanwhile, the couple has experienced another change within their team, as yet another PR executive has departed.

Christine Well-Shermer was recently appointed as the new PR chief but has now left Team Sussex.

The departure comes at a time when Harry and Megan are actively involved in charitable endeavors.

Their Archwell Foundation, in collaboration with the Ving Project, has initiated a charity project aimed at supporting women in need across the United States.

The initiative involves granting $1,000 to deserving women who have been nominated by teenagers aged between 14 and 18 for their inspirational impact on others.

Markle expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing her dedication to empowering women and promoting the spirit of giving.

The $1 million fund provided by the Archwell Foundation is intended not only to provide much-needed support but also to encourage young adults to embrace the joy of giving from an early age.

Markle expressed pride in the collaboration and the positive outcomes they hope to achieve through this philanthropic endeavor.

As Markle faces the possibility of Engelson’s book unveiling their past relationship, she and Prince Harry are also navigating their way back into the social media sphere.

Their determination to reclaim control over their narrative is evident, even as they experience changes within their PR team.

Simultaneously, they remain committed to making a difference through their charitable efforts, aiming to uplift and empower women across the United States.

In this day and age anything to do with Meghan can not be trusted.I saw today the below picture.And a few words that followed.

However until that woman, who ever she is comes forward to tell the true story that could be checked out, in all fairness I will continue to believe it is fake. I hasten to add though, what you see above is much what I am expecting to see in the future. And I wouldn’t be too surprised if the above proved to be true after all. .

The logic of all this is quite simple Archie was introduced to the queen and the royal family so he exists. Lilibet I suggest is real too. All that’s really needs to be determined is , how. Something simple I guess, loads of money and a willing other partner. How hard is that.

No way. Too much has happened now for Meghan and Harry to reunite with I presume you mean the Royal family after Lili’s birth. Here is my reasoning.

The request for Lili’s Christening in the Queen’s private chapel at Windsor was turned down. The Sussexes did not return to UK for the tribute to the late Princess Diana following the unveiling of the statue. It is said that Prince William said No about both. Even if Harry had wanted to come for the tribute he would have had to come alone. His wife is a person non grata and allegedly referred to as “ that bloody woman “. A Christmas with the RF is also off the cards for them.

Now what about them calling their daughter Lilibet ? This is a very private nickname the Queen called herself as when she was a toddler she could not pronounce Elizabeth. Thus Lilibet was created and used within her family by her father and the late DOE. The Sussexes say the Queen was consulted. The Queen says she was not. We are back to “recollections may vary “ but I know who I believe.

No. A reunion of the families is not going to happen. Even if Harry divorced Meghan and returned to UK with the children (which of course Meghan would never allow )the reunion would be a tense one for the damage Harry has done along with his wife. The Oprah interview whilst the late DOE was on his death bed. The untolerable stress their lies placed on The Queen particularly when she should have been allowed to grieve for her husband. The Sussexes trashed Prince Charles and the RF. Harry abandoned his family, his duties ,his honorary positions in the Army ( therefore deserting his men) and his country. He gave them no thought. It was all about the Sussexes and money. PC was used for a year as an ATM. When that dried up Harry whined to Oprah about how his father had left him without money or protection. Harry quit his job yet still expected to be on the payroll. They chose to live in the USA where the responsibility for paying for their security rests upon themselves. They each have millions of dollars and chose to live in an overly extravagant mansion which is way too big for them.

Coleen Nolan revealed her boyfriend’s romantic Valentine’s Day surprise on Wednesday’s show before he was shown sweetly waving in the audience

Coleen Nolan joked she was “mortified” on Wednesday’s Loose Women as the show panned onto her boyfriend in the audience.

During the latest episode, which was a Valentine’s Day special, Coleen, 58, gushed about her boyfriend Michael, whom she met on dating app Tinder, after he surprised her on Tuesday evening.

Coleen said: “I was on the phone to my chap last night, I was a bit stressed, I was thinking: ‘I’m on my own tomorrow Valentine’s Day’, there I am, I’m on the phone chatting away to him and I turn around, he was chatting behind me. He’d come to surprise me.”

Smiling, she added: “That’s so romantic!” Later on the show, Coleen revealed that Olivia Attwood’s husband, Bradley Dack, was joining the show for the Valentine’s Day special.

This prompted co-star, Brenda Edwards, to ask: “Bradley’s here for Olivia, you said that your man came down last night, so where is he today? It’s Valentine’s Day today!”

Coleen then replied: “He’s here!” to which the camera panned onto a waving Michael in the audience as Love Is In The Air started playing with the panellists all saying: “Hello!”

A giggling Coleen then said: “Enough now, that’s mortifying! Time for competition now, thank the lord!” Coleen met Michael on Tinder back in 2021 but it wasn’t all plain sailing with the pair breaking up a number of times before deciding to give things a proper go last year.

After trying again, Coleen and Michael are now happier than ever – but the TV star has insisted that marriage won’t ever be on the cards for them.

Appearing on Monday’s instalment of the ITV daytime show, Coleen admitted that she has been living with Michael in recent months as a “trial run” to decipher whether or not they could make it a longterm living situation.

As it turns out, the trial run went better than expected, and Coleen has now confirmed that she and Michael will continue living together as they look forward to a future together.

Although she’s excited to take the huge relationship step with her beau, Coleen recently insisted that while she loves Michael, she will never marry him. Coleen revealed that Michael has made it clear that he would love nothing more than to tie the knot, but the Nolan Sisters singer doesn’t see herself walking down the aisle again.
