Loose Women fans as they claimed she had double standards on Monday’s episode – which celebrated the show’s 25th anniversary. 

The former Love Islander, 33, was branded ‘hypocritical and sexist’ as she chatted to her fellow panelists, Jayne Moore, Ruth Langsford, and Coleen Nolan, about sexism in the workplace.

But as Olivia revealed to her fellow stars that she is okay with older men referring to her as ‘darling’, she does not like it when men her own age call her it.

This revelation was met with rage from viewers, who branded her hypocritical for hosting a TV show called Bad Boyfriends.

Bad Boyfriends is a show which sees eight unsuspecting boyfriends – from serial cheaters to commitment-phobes – flown out to a Greek island under the premise of filming a series about manhood and bromance on a lads’ holiday.

But their girlfriends make a shock arrival after Olivia announces their wild partying days are on hold to reveal they are on a show designed to whip them into better boyfriend shape.

Adding to the topic of conversation, Olivia said: ‘I do give a free pass to men, not with everything, but with older men when its like a love or a darling over a certain age just because I don’t believe there is harmful intent with that language.’

She then added: ‘Weirdly, I don’t like it if a man a similar age to me calls me doll or babe or whatever from a clothing store. I’m a bit like urgh’.

When quizzed by Ruth if she would tell the men her age to not call her that, she confessed that she would just pull a face rather than say anything.

But her candid admission sent viewers into a frenzy as they branded the TV personality a ‘hypocrite’ for having ‘double standards’.

Take to X, formerly known as Twitter, one penned: ‘#loosewomen So, these women want to change men? Can you imagine the cries of misogyny if there was a similar programme but where men wanted to change women?’

‘When’s Bad Girlfriends on? Or is #Loosewomen the equivalent…?’

‘Double standards #loosewomen’

‘#loosewomen That bird who just said “toxic masculinity” – does she not realise just how sexist THAT is? It just washed over her completely!’

‘#LooseWomen So isn’t this, once again, confusing for men to know what’s ‘acceptable’ and what isn’t? The ladies just said they’re OK with men/people over a certain age calling them love/darling/babe but not those younger than themselves’

‘Cos ‘reforming a bad boyfriend’ isn’t controlling or coercive behaviour at all is it’

Despite the backlash from Loose Women, Bad Boyfriends viewers have said that they’re ‘hooked’ and are ‘binge watching’ the new show which kicked off earlier this month.

Fans are loving it – taking to X to share their positive reviews on the concept of the show.

They penned: ‘Love Olivia Attwood, she genuinely makes any show a binge watch #badboyfriends.’,

‘Omg 3 episodes into #badboyfriends and I am HOOKED.’,

‘Enjoyed watching @BadBoyfriendsTV and that @oliviajade_att looking gorgeous on it #badboyfriends.’,

‘The undercover nightclub honeytrap task is OUTSTANDING reality television. Was like watching a thriller film #BadBoyfriends.’,

‘This is gonna be soooo good @oliviajade_att #BadBoyfriends’,

Since coming third place with her ex-partner Chris Hughes on Love Island in 2017, Olivia has stuck by ITV and become one of the most successful contestants from the dating show with various spin-offs including Chris and Olivia: Crackin’ On and Olivia Meets Her Match.

In 2022 she crossed the veil from reality television star to fronting serious documentaries from an investigation into Gen Z’s obsession with cosmetic surgery – going under the knife herself – to meeting her trolls face-to-face.

She is also a recurring panellist on Loose Women but it was in May that the Mail revealed Olivia had landed her biggest job yet – host of a new dating show, Bad Boyfriends.

Despite the backlash from Loose Women, Bad Boyfriends viewers have said that they’re ‘hooked’ and are ‘binge watching’ the new show which kicked off earlier this month

In the space of six years, she had gone from contestant to presenter and has reportedly been offered a six-figure deal to front the series which wrapped filming in Greece earlier in the summer.

Confirming the news to her 2.2million Instagram followers, the London-born reality star said: ‘Guys… I have been keeping a really big secret. BTS from my brand-new ITV reality show, you’re not ready [I don’t actually think I am].’

Last June she married her footballer boyfriend, Bradley Dack, in a lavish £200,000 wedding and she also told the Mail on Sunday that he was ‘ready’ for kids but she wants to concentrate on work.

When Olivia was forced to exit the I’m a Celebrity jungle in 2022 after less than 24 hours on the show she was devastated.

After being misdiagnosed as anaemic during a routine check-up on the first day she was ruled a health risk and flown back to the UK.

The star’s early departure was a blow for I’m A Celeb as the Love Island star – known for her no-nonsense demeanour – was to be a sure hit with fans as she was set to challenge the disgraced former politician, Matt Hancock, who eventually placed third that year.

Meanwhile, Olivia was left feeling ‘frustrated’ and instead focused on fronting documentaries for ITV and has now reached such a level of success she is hosting her own show, Bad Boyfriends.

Sources told MailOnline: ‘Olivia was in talks to go in [to the jungle] last year but it was ruled out literally because of scheduling issues and she is in talks again this year.’

But the reality star set speculations surrounding her return straight and said: ‘The jungle will be getting finished. One thousand percent. I can’t rest until I’ve finished it.

‘But from a purely logistical point of view, it would be almost impossible in my mind right now.’

Amanda Holden issues warning about Loose Women presenters after ‘dig’

Jason King, who is currently standing in for Jamie Theakston, was issued a stark warning by the Britain’s Got Talent judge as the Heart Radio team discussed Loose Women’s 25th anniversary

Amanda Holden issued a warning to her radio co-host this morning after he inadvertently aimed a cheeky dig at the Loose Women presenters.

In her showbiz segment on Heart Radio this morning (September 30), Ashley Roberts revealed that the ITV panel show Loose Women recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Co-host Jason King (JK), however, may have been slightly too quick in his response and conceded that it “didn’t sound right”.

JK quipped: “Hang on a second. They don’t look it. No, in a good way. I realised that that sounds hard. It didn’t sound right.”

After the others burst into laughter, Amanda warned: “You don’t wanna get on the wrong end of them, J.” And the rest of the studio agreed, replying “you do not”.

In honour of its silver jubilee, Loose Women recently released a photo with 18 of its iconic panellists, featuring original stars Jane Moore, Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha and Ruth Langsford.

However, there was one presenter notably missing from the line-up, Stacey Solomon, with eagle-eyed fans soon spotting her absence. One wrote: “Where’s Stacey gone?!” Another said: “This would have been better with Stacey,” alongside a crying emoji.

Included in the photo were Judi Love, Katie Piper, Christine Lampard, Kelle Bryan, Frankie Bridge, Dame Kelly Holmes, Charlene White, Sunetra Sarker, Olivia Attwood-Dack, Denise Welch, Linda Robson, Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards.

In August, Kaye appeared on James Martin’s Saturday Morning, where she opened up about the first episode of the show in 1999. She said it was initially a month’s pilot, but she thought they “might be onto something”.

In its 25-year span, Loose Women has become a household favourite, with the much-loved panellists tackling a raft of topics, as well some subjects “not openly discussed” on TV.

Sally Shelford, the editor of Loose Women, explained: “Over the last 25 years, Loose Women has tackled taboos and talked about issues not openly discussed on television, including domestic abuse, menopause, miscarriage and grief.

“Our incredible audience – in the studio and at home – have always been the fifth Loose Woman, and we promise to keep talking, sharing and shining a light on important subjects like these for our amazing viewers.”

King Charles has ended his 35-year marriage to Camilla, Queen Consort, following a series of explosive revelations made by Prince Harry and Prince William.

The announcement has left both the royal family and the public in shock, as the personal and public ramifications of this dramatic development continue to unfold.

The Shocking Revelations

The catalyst for this dramatic split comes from revelations made by Prince Harry and Prince William, which have rocked the royal world.

According to sources, the revelations include highly sensitive and damaging information about the state of the marriage between Charles and Camilla.

The details, which have yet to be fully disclosed, reportedly exposed deep-seated issues and tensions within the relationship, pushing Charles to make the unprecedented decision to end the marriage.

The nature of the revelations has been described as “shocking,” involving personal and possibly compromising information that has put immense strain on Charles and Camilla’s relationship.

The impact of these revelations has been profound, leading to an emotional and public breakup.

Camilla’s Heartbreak

Camilla, who has been a central figure in the royal family for over three decades, is reportedly heartbroken by the end of her marriage. Sources close to her describe her as deeply affected by the sudden turn of events, struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship that has been both personal and public.

The emotional toll on Camilla is evident, as she navigates the fallout from the split and the implications for her public role.

The public’s reaction to Camilla’s heartbreak has been one of mixed sympathy and curiosity. While some express their support for her during this difficult time, others are closely following the developments, eager to understand the full scope of the revelations that led to the marriage’s dissolution.

The Royal Family’s Response

The royal family has been thrust into the spotlight following the news of Charles and Camilla’s divorce.

The dramatic nature of the revelations and the ensuing split have generated significant media attention, with many questioning how this will impact the royal family’s public image and future dynamics.

Prince Harry and Prince William’s involvement in the revelations has added another layer of complexity to the situation.

Their actions and statements are being scrutinized as potential factors contributing to the breakup, leading to further discussions about their roles and relationships within the royal family.

Moment Prince Harry is filmed screaming and swearing in bizarre haunted maze appearance on Jimmy Fallon

The Duke of Sussex has released a bizarre skit with Jimmy Fallon, swearing and giggling as he ventures through a haunted maze – as he continues his solo American publicity blitz.

Harry chose not take part in a typical interview, instead opting to become the first surprise guest to test a Halloween experience called Jimmy Fallon’s Tonightmares at the Rockefeller Centre in the Big Apple.

As he larks around with Fallon, the animated royal is heard screaming, ‘Jesus, f**k!’ and cracking jokes about Michael Bublé.

His appearance on the TV show comes after he carried out days of engagements in an east coast trip without the Duchess of Sussex during UN General Assembly High-Level Week and Climate Week.

The segment broadcast on US network NBC saw swear words bleeped out as Harry, who had a camera strapped to his chest, appeared jumpy while wandering through the maze.

The guest appearance came as his solo US publicity blitz without his wife Meghan Markle continues.

Prince Harry joins Jimmy on a trip through Tonightmares, an all-new haunted maze experience in NYC! 👻 🐼 #FallonTonight #Tonightmares pic.twitter.com/0EKGDMLiz5

— The Tonight Show (@FallonTonight) September 27, 2024

Should Harry tone it down?

Yes
No
Not sure

Harry came onto the screen with a short exclamation as he scared Fallon, who was presenting at the time.

Dressed in a khaki shirt with the sleeves rolled up, Prince Harry beamed as he said while he usually was not easily scared, ‘today might be different’.

The pair both wore cameras attached to their chests as they stepped into a lift that hurtled down to the start of the haunted maze, where they were greeted by a terrifying zombie-like figure.

The Duke of Sussex said ‘Jimmy’ before the figure appeared, prompting the Prince to swear, which was bleeped out.

Walking through a corridor, a hand-written sign declared ‘there’s a serial killer on the loose’.

Harry then spots a woman with white makeup and black rings around her eyes appearing to hold a knife.

He said: ‘Is that a panda?’

The woman said ‘hello’ to the duke before revealing he was actually staring at a reflection of her as she ran around the corner attempting to thrust the knife towards him.

Prince Harry screamed and swore, with Fallon mocking him, saying, ‘You’re afraid of pandas,’ while the Duke replied, ‘No! I’m not, I’m not.’

The scene then cuts to Fallon on an old TV in glasses. Watching the screen together, the Prince told him, ‘You look great in glasses’.

The screen then changes to Fallon with glowing eyeballs, which seemed to shock the Duke, who pulled a surprised face.

Behind a translucent screen a body starts to crack and crunch before a series of jump scares frighten both Fallon and the prince.

As the fifth in line to the throne spots a bloodied man with a wrench, he bids him ‘hello’ before the man scares them again with a round of flashing lights, raising his weapon at them.

Surprised again, Harry screamed as Fallon asked, ‘Why would you do it twice?’ The prince added: ‘We know you’re there, why?’

They move on as the man scared them for a third time. In the next clip a woman’s voice can be heard saying, ‘I’ve got them, daddy.’

The prince then enters a mock cornfield, holding Fallon’s hand as they walked tentatively through together.

In a comical moment, the duke compared a haunted figure to a famous Canadian singer.

‘Is that Michael Bublé? Good job buddy,’ Harry said.

The scene cut to some zombie rockers set with leather jackets and electric guitars.

After Fallon and the prince walked past, the actors looked shocked at realising they had just terrified Prince Harry.

At the end of the experience, Harry pretended to throw a punch after being frightened by an actor while posing for a picture with Fallon.

‘Brace yourself for 10 spine-chilling rooms that bring Jimmy’s worst nightmares to life with sinister characters and scares around every corner,’ The Tonight Show’s YouTube page said.

It comes after Harry appeared as a star guest in the Clinton Global Initiative in New York on Tuesday, where he delivered a passionate speech calling for action to tackle the ‘pervasive threat’ the online world poses for children.

Speaking alongside members of Lesotho’s royal family at the United Nations HQ, Harry told how his charity Sentebale’s name came from the country’s Sesotho language – meaning ‘Forget me not’.

He had begun by saying in English, ‘Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and friends’ – and then repeating the greeting in Sesotho: ‘Morena, basali le bahlomphehi, baeti ba hlomphehang le metsoalle.’

He recalled first visiting Lesotho during a gap year between leaving Eton and starting at Sandhurst military academy, as he spoke alongside fellow delegates including the country’s King Letsie III and Queen Masenate Mohato Seeiso.

Harry, 40, said: ‘The Lesotho royal family, as well as Lesotho itself, has been a pillar of strength for me over the last 20 years, welcoming me with open arms and such kindness.

‘The beautiful mountain kingdom feels like a home away from home.

‘That friendship has only grown stronger as we’ve worked together to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing the Lesotho people and the wider world.’

Harry told of helping to set up Sentebale two years after his first visit , adding: ‘The charity was founded in honour of our mothers and symbolises our pledge to always remember and advocate for the most vulnerable among us.

‘Our mission at Sentebale is simple yet incredibly important – to help vulnerable children and young people across Lesotho and Botswana to access vital health services, receive care and support, and develop the life skills necessary to thrive.

‘By focusing on the youth we’re breaking generational cycles of trauma and outdated beliefs.’

The duke’s Archewell Foundation launched the Parents Network last month as a support network for parents of children affected by online harm.

His appearance on the TV show also comes in the week a US judge ruled his US visa application should remain private despite him admitting taking drugs in his memoir.

Harry is set to briefly return to the UK to attend the WellChild annual awards next Monday.

IT’S MY DECISION! King Charles Crowns Princess Anne As New Queen, STRIPPING Camilla Of Her Title

NEW QUEEN, King Charles CROWNS Princess Anne As NEW Queen As Camilla Not Good Enough In a stunning turn of events that has the world buzzing, King Charles III has made a move that few anticipated: he has crowned his sister, Princess Anne, as the new queen. This unexpected decision has sparked a whirlwind of conversations, debates, and even some playful gossip about the royal family. So, grab your crown emoji and settle in as we dive into this captivating royal saga!

All the fans of Princess Anne departed from the Commonwealth Day service expressing the same sentiment.

Princess Anne’s devoted followers were left mesmerized by her impeccable style when she graced the Commonwealth Day service with her presence.

The Princess Royal, at the age of 73, effortlessly stole the show with her choice of attire, leaving her fans in a state of awe.

Donning a stunning red cashmere coat, Anne’s outfit was hailed as nothing short of “beautiful” by her adoring supporters.

With a radiant smile on her face, the sister of King Charles gracefully entered Westminster Abbey, waving to the eager crowd who eagerly awaited a glimpse of royalty.

This knee-length Shibumi coat, priced at £395, had previously been spotted on Anne during a public appearance in Canada last year, showcasing her impeccable taste in fashion.

During the service, Princess Anne was accompanied by her trusted confidante, Dolly Maude, who is often referred to as Zara Tindall’s “right hand woman.”

Dolly, aged 51, exuded elegance in a chic tweed coat dress adorned with striking gold buttons, complemented by a headpiece that perfectly matched her ensemble.

Anne donned the extravagant £395 coat, effortlessly draping it over her teal dress that gracefully fell below her knees. To complete the ensemble, she adorned a matching top hat, adorned with a vibrant red ribbon that elegantly tied the entire look together.

Fans couldn’t help but gush over Princess Anne’s regal and sophisticated appearance. One admirer took to social media platform X, expressing their admiration for the beautiful coat and Anne’s impeccable coordination of her outfits.

Another fan simply marveled at the stunning picture of Princess Anne, while a third admirer succinctly described her as “gorgeous.”

Among Princess Anne’s esteemed entourage of Ladies-in-Waiting is the recently appointed Dolly Maude. As a Lady-in-Waiting, Dolly’s duties include accompanying the Princess Royal to various royal engagements. This 73-year-old woman is rumored to be one of eleven Ladies-in-Waiting serving Princess Anne. Dolly shares a close friendship with Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, and even had the privilege of being present during the birth of Zara’s son, Lucas.

Princess Anne makes rare comment about Camilla’s reign as Queen

Princess Royal praised Camilla’s ‘understanding of the role’ despite not being a ‘natural’ fit for it

Princess Anne has made a rare comment about Camilla’s reign as queen in a new BBC documentary examining King Charles’s first year as monarch.

The documentary, which will air on Boxing Day (26 December), promises to offer viewers a “behind-the-scenes” look at Charles’s first year as Britain’s new monarch after his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, died last September.

It features interviews with members of the royal family, including Princess Anne who has, for the first time, spoken about Camilla’s relationship with the throne – praising her sister-in-law’s “understanding of the role” as the nation’s queen despite not being a “natural” fit for it.

The Princess Royal, 73, said: “I’ve known [Camilla] a long time off and on. Her understanding of the role and how much difference it makes to the king has been absolutely outstanding.

“This role is not something that she’d be a natural for but she does it really well. She provides that change of speed and tone, that’s equally important,” Anne added.

Charles met Camilla Parker Bowles in 1970 at a polo match, after being introduced by Anne.

When she met Britain’s future king, Camilla famously remarked: “My great-grandmother was the mistress of your great-great-grandfather.

“I feel we have something in common.”

At the time, Anne was romantically linked to British military officer Andrew Parker Bowles, Camilla’s future husband, who the now-queen married in a Roman Catholic ceremony in 1973.

Charles would go on to marry Diana, Princess of Wales, in July 1981. Five years later, his affair with ex-girlfriend Camilla was reignited, eventually leading to Charles and Diana announcing their separation in 1992.

They announced their engagement in February 2005 before tying the knot at Windsor Guildhall on 8 April 2005 – 35 years after their first meeting.

Elsewhere in the new documentary, Charles III: The Coronation Year, Camilla’s sister Annabel Elliot described the king and queen as “yin and yang” – meaning two opposite parts of one complementary whole.

Elliot, who was one of Camilla’s two Ladies in Attendance at the coronation in May, reportedly said the king and queen are “polar opposites” but their relationship works “brilliantly” because they add value to each other’s lives in different ways.

She said: “[Camilla] is his rock, and I can’t actually emphasise that enough. She’s somebody who is completely loyal and she isn’t somebody who has huge highs and lows.”

Meanwhile, Charles’s interest and knowledge in a wide variety of subjects has enriched Camilla’s life, Elliot added.

“They are yin and yang, really. They really are polar opposites. But I think it works brilliantly.”

Charles III: The Coronation Year will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 6.50pm on 26 December.

Meghan’s former workers have given some insight into what it’s really like to work for her after both positive and negative stories recently came out about her treatment of staff

A slew of Meghan Markle’s staffers have left her employment in the last few years, with some labeling “demon” who has had her fair share of “psycho moments” as a boss.

In recent weeks, both positive and negative stories about the Duchess of Sussex’s work ethic have come to light.

The Hollywood Reporter reported on September 12 that Meghan was a “dictator in high heels” and how “everyone’s terrified” of her, earning the brand “Duchess Difficult.” However, on Tuesday, Us Weekly published a piece where several of her ex-employees sang her praises.

Prince Harry’s chief of staff, Josh Kettler, who exited the Sussexes’ service in August, told Us Weekly that he was “warmly welcomed” by both of them and labeled them as “dedicated and hardworking” people.

 

Their former global press secretary, Ashley Hansen, claimed that Harry and Meghan were “concerned” and supportive when she had to take a period of time off due to an operation. She revealed to Us that Harry and Meghan sent flowers and care packages to her, “but most profoundly to me, Meghan would personally reach out to my husband daily to make sure that we both were OK and had support.”

Sources have now reached out to the Daily Beast to spill the royal tea on how Meghan really is as an employer.

“There have been plenty of difficult royals over the years, and I do think that after the ill-feeling of Megxit [when Harry and Meghan left the royal family in 2020], Meghan’s bad moments were amplified and distorted and blown out of proportion,” one insider dished. “Princess Margaret regularly got people to hold out their hands to use as ashtrays, for example, and that’s just laughed off as hilarious eccentricity. Look at Prince Andrew, he was unbelievable to the staff.”

“That said, there definitely were bad, very bad, even psycho moments. I witnessed people being chewed up in person and over the phone and made to feel like s–t,” they added.

“But it was an incredibly fraught time and I’m inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. She has said herself she was suicidal at times,” they said. The Suits actress previously told Oprah Winfrey that she had experienced suicidal thoughts while being a senior member of the royal family.

Another person alleged the Daily Beast: “I always thought she was a classic narcissist and getting her staff to tell a magazine how amazing she is only confirms that in my mind.”

However, the insider said Meghan “is lovely when it is all going her way but a demon when the worm turns.”

“That said, there definitely were bad, very bad, even psycho moments,” an insider alleged about Meghan (

A separate source recounted a tale to the publication about a florist who was “screamed at down the phone” about something for a bouquet they were arranging for Meghan. But they didn’t name Meghan as the client.

They claimed: “They vowed never to work with her again, despite the prestige of having her as a client. If you were working for her, you were often treated like a tradesman who could be treated like s–t.”

Lady Colin Campbell calls Prince Harry ‘pathetic’ in new tell-all

Lady Colin Campbell, with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry (inset)Getty

Jolly old England’s had unjolly Prince Andrew’s “Who’s Jeffrey Epstein?”, brothers William and Harry as cuddly as Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Her Majesty slowly ceding to son Charles, CV attacking all but Big Ben, plus there’s always Boris Johnson’s hairdo — comes now hell hath no fury like an actress unemployed.

Out in London today, Lady Colin Campbell’s book “Meghan and Harry: The Real Story.” Note who gets top billing. It calls her “an operator.” It also calls her lots more. It calls him “pathetic.” It also calls him lots more. And don’t anyone get their knickers in a twist because Pegasus releases this 400-page scorcher in the US next month. The cover is them together.

Chapter 1: Campbell claims MM immediately “jettisoned British traditions that didn’t suit her” … she showed such rock-solid self-importance that Prince Philip nicknamed her Tungsten … although a divorcee, she defied palace dictum of cream color for anyone previously married and insisted on a virginal white wedding gown.

Andrew’s kid Princess Eugenie was to be a bride wearing — per Queen Elizabeth’s promise — an emerald and diamond tiara. The book alleges Me-Me-Meghan demanded exactly that tiara, demanded her own ceremony precede Eugenie’s, demanded Eugenie’s nuptials be postponed, even demanded Her Majesty break the promise that Eugenie might wear that headpiece. Eugenie did later wear an emerald tiara at her wedding.

The book has encyclopedic chapters on baby Prince Archie. Also examples that Miss Me-Me knew what she wanted long before grabbing the role of Mrs. Harry.

I know author Campbell. Georgie, friends call her, is no shrunken violet. She knows from courts and lawsuits. However, she’s acquainted with every royal going back to Catherine the Great. She also knows from best sellers like her Princess Diana bios. And she said: “I go into everything surrounding her pregnancy and all’s been minutely vetted by lawyers. I have spoken to courtiers, Romeos, princes, princesses, relations, friends in detail. Knowing she intended to marry him from word Go, they were desperate to talk. Still, I bent over backwards to be positive.”

Campbell claims: “She’s a total opportunist. She knew in advance she’d embark on commercial ventures, which royalty strictly forbids. She now has what she wanted — a millionaire’s life in Hollywood. She’s caused Harry to lose most of his friends. He’s weaker than she. He’s run ragged. Despite the sex, she will make his life miserable. He has no strength of character to leave her.”
It’s not a bad read.

No shortage of these books

Moustachio’d John Blowton also wrote a book after serving under the Bush presidents. It’s what he does. Beats working for a living. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, ex-White House press secretary, savaged Bolton on TV then repeatedly plugged her own blab-a-thon, which gets published in September.

Recall a previous Trump White House press secretary? Sean Spicer? Who also smudged out his memoir?
Plus Steve Bannon, Jeanine Pirro, Bob Woodward, Omarosa Manigault Newman, Michael Wolff, Howard Kurtz — and someday maybe something from Adam BullSchiff. At least his screw-all could balance the short leg of a bridge table.

One librarian listed 2.5 titles creep out about Trump monthly. The Guardian collated 4,500 English-language titles so far. The vast number of publications on Barack total 10. Probably including his wife’s, 11.

If candidate Biden locates his blue-lined high-school composition pad and can feel his way out of the basement, we might yet get a pamphlet from him.

Online, East Hampton’s Guild Hall, closed since March, premieres “Same Time Next Year” July 12. Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Bob Balaban. All Hamptonites. I’m happy for them.

Lady Colin Campbell tears shreds out of ‘cheap and vulgar’ Meghan Markle

Lady Colin Campbell had some harsh words for Meghan Markle after the release of the latest edition of British Vogue which Meghan guest-edited.

Colin Campbell is the author of three books about the royal family and criticised Meghan Markle for her recent takeover of British Vogue.

Campbell dubbed the move inappropriate for a royal in a lengthy diss to Closer magazine.

‘She was never an A-lister, so she needs to stop acting like one,’ Colin Campbell told the publication.

‘Royalty does not behave like celebrities do. It’s cheap, vulgar and irresponsible.’

Colin Campbell, who is set to appear on the next season of Celebs Go Dating, said Markle was ‘letting down’ those around the world who admire her by ‘cheapening’ herself in celebrity circles.

Meghan Markle has been dissed by Colin Campbell previously, who believes Princess Diana would not have bonded with the Duchess of Sussex.

‘I think Meghan and Diana are sufficiently similar personalities for there to have been the potential for conflict,’ she said.

‘They have very similar personalities, which would make me believe trouble may well have brewed down the line.’

Markle has been on the receiving end of her fair share of criticism in the press in recent months, having increased the level of privacy around her and her son Archie.

Meghan kept news of Archie’s christening close to her chest in the lead up to the occasion, leaving many royal-onlookers frustrated with her.

She also opted to keep his godparents a secret – another move that proved unpopular with fans.

Meghan was due to appear on the cover of British Vogue, however, instead opted to guest-edit the edition.

The Duchess revealed that she was at home with her dogs when she received the response from Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Edward Enninful, saying that she could be guest editor.

The September issue of British Vogue focuses on ‘Focuses for Change’, and features 15 ‘trailblazer’ and ‘changemakers‘ that inspire Meghan.

As the British royal family commemorates the second anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, a wave of unsettling news has emerged from the palace.

King Charles III finds himself grappling with a multitude of personal crises affecting his family, raising concerns about the overall health and harmony within the royal circle.

Insiders suggest that his current actions have left some family members, including Queen Camilla, feeling disappointed and uneasy.

In a poignant moment, Charles appeared visibly strained, his demeanor reflecting the immense pressure he is under.

As he met with grieving families affected by a recent tragedy, he looked thin and frail, almost as though the burdens of his role were too heavy to bear.

Despite palace assurances regarding his health and commitment to duty, whispers of concern about his well-being linger.

It seems that beneath the polished exterior, the king is deeply troubled by the state of his family.

The royal landscape is fraught with challenges.

Health issues, financial troubles, and legal entanglements plague various members of the family.

Tensions are high, with not everyone getting along as Charles had hoped.

His relationship with Prince Andrew has further complicated matters, especially concerning the royal lodge.

This situation has highlighted divisions within the family, revealing lingering loyalties to his late mother, the former queen.

Charles’s attempts to manage the fallout from Andrew’s circumstances have not gone unnoticed.

His decisions have disappointed several royals, including Anne, Sophie, and Edward, who feel that their brother’s interests are not being adequately protected.

The rift extends beyond Andrew, as the king also struggles with the fallout between his two sons.

The estrangement between Harry and William has left Charles heartbroken, particularly as William has expressed his desire for Harry to stay away from significant family events, like the coronation.

The tension doesn’t stop there.

Royal sources indicate that Sarah, Beatrice, and Eugenie are also concerned about Andrew’s lack of protection.

Even Queen Camilla has felt the brunt of Charles’s irritability, a stark reminder that the pressures of kingship do not come without personal costs.

While spending time at Balmoral this summer, the 75-year-old monarch is finding it increasingly difficult to escape the weight of his responsibilities, despite knowing how crucial it is to unwind.

Adding fuel to the fire, reports surfaced last month suggesting that Prince Andrew could lose his royal lodge residence after Charles decided to disband his security detail.

The king has reportedly given Andrew an ultimatum: either become financially independent or relocate to a residence more befitting his current status.

Frogmore Cottage, once home to Harry and Meghan, has been offered as an alternative.

However, Andrew is seemingly unyielding.

With a lease that runs until 2078 and having invested over £8.5 million into renovations since moving in, he appears determined to remain at the royal lodge alongside his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

His insistence on staying mirrors a desire to live life on his own terms, reminiscent of a reclusive star who simply wishes to be left alone.

Despite the turmoil surrounding him, King Charles has maintained an upbeat demeanor.

He has historically faced challenges head-on, never allowing himself to dwell on uncertainties about the future.

Recently, he has shown renewed vigor, preparing for his first international tour with Queen Camilla to Australia and the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Samoa next month.

Charles is eager to make up for lost time and solidify his legacy while also honoring his late mother’s memory.

His determination to focus on positive endeavors is evident, even as he navigates complex family dynamics.

Notably, he chose not to engage with Prince Harry during the latter’s visit to London for an important event, highlighting the ongoing strain in their relationship.

A palace insider commented on the king’s perspective, noting that while he wishes for better relations among his family, his priorities lie elsewhere.

For now, King Charles continues to push forward, balancing the demands of his role with the personal challenges that seem to multiply by the day.

The royal family may be facing unprecedented trials, but the king remains resolute in his commitment to duty and legacy.

In the dazzling yet tumultuous world of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a new drama has emerged, capturing the attention of royal watchers everywhere.

Meghan, who has been living her life in sunny California, recently made headlines not just for her star power but for a striking accessory—a keychain that seems to encapsulate her current mindset and approach to life.

This isn’t just any ordinary keychain; it boldly proclaims “Take what you need.”

Now, one might wonder if this is simply a quirky fashion statement or something more profound.

After all, when you’re Meghan Markle, going unnoticed is as challenging as finding a needle in a haystack.

The message on her designer piece has sparked conversations and raised eyebrows among royal commentators and fans alike.

The price tag on this accessory reportedly exceeds the average person’s monthly coffee budget.

It’s no surprise that royal experts are reacting strongly, suggesting that this keychain reveals Meghan’s true philosophy.

Could it be that her mantra reflects a larger narrative about her life choices?

Some believe it does.

From her whirlwind romance with Prince Harry to her swift acquisition of titles and fame, it appears she’s been playing a high-stakes game of royal Monopoly.

Let’s break it down further.

Meghan’s journey into the royal spotlight has been nothing short of explosive.

Critics might argue that she’s commandeered not just Harry, but also the royal family’s peace of mind.

With each move, she seems to claim more than just her fair share—it’s as if she’s flipping the script on traditional expectations and norms.

Now, before anyone rushes to defend Meghan, it’s essential to recognize the complexity of her situation.

Is she truly the villain in this royal saga?

Perhaps not.

However, the notion of “taking what you need” certainly raises questions about her intentions.

It’s as if she’s walking through life with a sign that reads, “Yes, I am exactly who you think I am,” and that’s undeniably bold.

Interestingly, the keychain isn’t solely about its provocative message.

Inside, it contains matches labeled with words like “hugs,” “love,” and “patience.” This juxtaposition feels a bit disingenuous, akin to offering a band-aid after causing significant damage.

Is Meghan attempting to mend fences while simultaneously stirring the pot?

The timing of her public appearance with this accessory, just before a notable bookstore event, adds another layer of intrigue.

Many are left pondering the implications of Meghan’s actions.

What does it mean for the public, especially those who still cling to the fairy tale of royalty?

Should we simply accept her approach as she treats the monarchy like an all-you-can-eat buffet?

And let’s not forget Harry, who once captivated us as the charming prince.

Now, he seems lost, grappling with the fallout of these dramatic changes.

Despite the controversies, there’s something to admire about Meghan’s audacity.

To flaunt a keychain that echoes every gossip column and rumor takes guts.

It’s almost as if she’s challenging the public to confront her, daring us to question her motives while she confidently dons her fashionable accessories.

Perhaps this is Meghan’s strategy to reclaim her narrative.

If society is intent on painting her as the antagonist, why not embrace the role?

By leaning into the villainous persona, she can take control of her story, much like a modern-day Maleficent.

But at what price does this come?

While she enjoys the fame, fortune, and royal connections, one must ask whether this relentless pursuit of self-interest will lead to deeper losses.

Genuine relationships and public goodwill are invaluable, and no designer item can replace them.

As we navigate this unfolding drama, it’s clear that Meghan’s journey is far from over.

So, what’s next for Meghan Markle?

Are we witnessing the dawn of a new era where she revels in her role as the royal antagonist?

Or is this merely another chapter in an ongoing saga of palace intrigue?

One thing is certain; the public will be watching closely, popcorn in hand, ready for whatever twist comes next.

With Meghan’s mantra echoing in our minds, let’s hope there’s enough left for everyone to share.
