    Meghan Markle’s long list of difficult behaviour with some of the most famous magazines IN FULL: From being savaged by Vanity Fair boss and ‘clash’ with Anna Wintour

    From impossible demands to lambasting reporters, Meghan Markle

    On Monday, MailOnline revealed that Meghan was ‘banned’ by Anna Wintour from being on the cover of British Vogue in September 2022 after the magazine boss became ‘frustrated with all the Duchess of Sussex’s team’s micromanaging’, according to a source.

    But this wasn’t the duchess first run-in with leading figures in the industry.

    Meghan’s behaviour led the legendary former Tatler editor Tina Brown to blast the former Suits actress for having ‘the worst judgement of anyone in the entire world’.

    Brown, who wrote the bestselling royal biography The Palace Papers, said: ‘The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world. She’s flawless about getting it all wrong.

    ‘I mean, she just is. She really is a perfectionist about getting it all wrong.’

    Before she was even the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan was already starting to build a bad reputation among magazine editors.

    In September 2017, two months before her engagement to Harry was announced, Meghan graced the cover of Vanity Fair.

    According to the then-editor of the magazine, Graydon Carter, the soon-to-be Duchess of Sussex challenged a reporter over why she was being asked about her relationship with the now-Duke of Sussex rather than her charity work.

    Speaking to the New York Post, Carter claimed that Meghan asked the journalist: ‘Excuse me, is this going to all be about Prince Harry?

    ‘Because I thought we were going to be talking about my charities and my philanthropy.’

    Carter then admitted he had ‘no idea’ who Meghan was at the time and added that she was ‘slightly adrift on the facts and reality’.

    Earlier this year, Carter gave a simple but scathing takedown of Meghan during a discussion with Interview Magazine.

    When asked about his thoughts on the duchess, he called her ‘The Undine Spragg of Montecito.’

    His reference was to the main character in The Custom of the Country, a tragicomedy by author Edith Wharton that was published in 1913.

    The book tells the story of Spragg, a social climber who moves from the Midwest to New York to experience the high life.

    Spragg then marries a man from Manhattan’s high society, but she’s never satisfied because of her greed and ambition.

    On Goodreads, Spragg is described as ‘vain, spoiled, and selfish.’

    Two years later, Meghan guest-edited the September 2019 Forces for Change issue of British Vogue which featured 15 ‘trailblazing change makers’ on its cover.

    It became the fastest-selling issue in the magazine’s 104-year history, selling out in ten days.

    Among the advocates featured on the cover were Greta Thunberg, Sinéad Burke, actors Gemma Chan and Jameela Jamil and then-New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

    But critics pointed out that the Queen was not among the 15 ‘women she admires’ featured, and neither were nurses, doctors, lawyers and teachers.

    And questions were raised over why the Duchess only carried out 22 royal engagements in the seven months she spent as an unpaid guest editor.

    In the book Battle of Brothers, royal author Robert Lacey wrote about the huge unpaid time commitment Meghan made to the magazine.

    He wrote: ‘In the same seven months, January to July 2019, the Court Circular showed the Duchess of Sussex carrying out just 22 royal engagements, less than one per week – though this period did include Meghan’s maternity leave, along with a three-day tour to Morocco with Harry.

    ‘But why had this “powerhouse” recruit to the highest echelons of the House of Windsor spent seven months labouring so intensively on behalf of British Vogue – entirely unremunerated it must be emphasised again – while doing hardly any work at all for the British Royal Family?’

    Three years later, the duchess was due to appear on the cover of British Vogue at the same time as Meghan’s keynote appearance at the One Young World Summit in Manchester in September 2022.

    But Conde Nast insiders claim it was abruptly pulled and scrapped completely.

    An insider told MailOnline that Meghan was being ‘difficult about making it a cover’ and her team were ‘insisting on particular straplines’.

    She then found herself at loggerheads with not only the editor of British Vogue, Edward Enninful, but the Queen of fashion magazines Anna Wintour.

    The insider said: ‘Anna heard about it, and just like banned her and said, “That’s it. We don’t want to do this”.

    ‘And so she didn’t get the cover, and I guess she didn’t even get the story. [Edward Enninful] probably agreed with Anna that you don’t get to call the shots on who’s on the cover. That’s absolutely an Editor’s decision.

    ‘Anna was p***** off. Anna was like frustrated with all the micromanaging, and just was like, “All right. That’s it. She can’t have the cover and we’re not doing the story”.’

    The source added that Meghan’s ‘level of desire for detail and control on the media is almost like Beyoncé level… but she’s not Beyoncé.’

    However, the Duchess is said to have been relaxed with ‘no expectations’ but her team had ‘high expectations for the piece’ in Vogue.

    ‘Enninful was not in a position to meet those expectations. He already had a magazine cover in the bag for that month,’ Conde Nast insiders told the Mail On Sunday.

    Shelving the project is said to have damaged Enninful and the Duchess’ friendship. ‘Edward was furious to have lost the project, as were the powers that be at Conde Nast,’ a source told the MoS.

    Sources claim that Meghan’s team had hoped the couple could feature on a special digital cover Vogue, which is released alongside the print edition.

    But again, it is understood that Enninful declined. ‘He didn’t think it was appropriate to give her the cover,’ the source explained.

    He had been one of Meghan’s most staunchest supporters after her now-infamous ‘Megxit’ Oprah interview in 2021.

    He defended the Duchess, calling her a ‘brave woman’ and describing the treatment of her as ‘very unfair’ and ‘harsh’.

    But he said he ‘wouldn’t just blame it on racism’, adding: ‘I think sometimes it takes a minute to understand the rules.’ Whether he would defend her again today is another matter.

    Sources close to Meghan deny that she ever sought a Vogue cover and say she had been invited to appear.

    Last week, Harry and Meghan suffered a blow when they e failed to make Time Magazine’s inaugural list of greatest do-gooders.

    Famous figures including, Oprah Winfrey, David Beckham and the Prince and Princess of Wales have made the 2025 list of the most influential philanthropists.

    However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have failed to make the cut – having previously made the traditional Time100 list in 2021 and 2018.

    It was their appearance on one of the magazine’s covers in 2021 which saw the couple ridiculed online for being ‘awkward’ and ‘airbrushed’.

    The cover showed Meghan standing front and centre dressed in all white while Harry is behind his wife leaning his arms on her shoulder wearing all black while outside their $14.65million mansion in Montecito, California.

    Social media users were quick to point out that the couple appeared to have fell victim to a ‘terrible retouching job’ which made the Sussexes look ‘CGI’.

    One critic claimed the photo reflected the power dynamic in the relationship, because Meghan is in front of her husband, tweeting: ‘Wow, this photo speaks volumes. There is no hiding who’s in control’.

    Amid pomp and pageantry not seen in Canada for more than half a century, King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived at the country’s Parliament yesterday with a powerful – and at times defiant – message for US President Donald Trump.

    In a ‘Speech from the Throne’ (made of wood from a Windsor oak, no less) Charles, 76, spoke of his ‘deep pride and pleasure’ at witnessing ‘Canadians coming together in a renewed sense of national pride, unity and hope’.

    He also highlighted the country’s ‘unique identity’ and made clear in the strongest possible terms – within the remits of his role as a constitutional monarch, of course – his personal pride that ‘the Crown has for so long been a symbol of unity for Canada’.

    To huge applause from MPs, he added: ‘As the anthem reminds us, ‘The True North is indeed strong and free’.’

    Introduced to Parliament as the King of Canada, many MPs looked visibly moved – some even broke into impromptu cries of ‘God Save The King’ – as he walked into their Senate building.

    The King’s voice notably cracked with emotion on the last paragraph of his speech, showing just how much this visit has meant to him, particularly given his ongoing health issues.

    Charles had been invited by the country’s prime minister Mark Carney to formally open the new session of parliament in what is widely being interpreted as sign Canadian sovereignty is not for sale.

    While he cannot publicly comment on recent threats by the US President to annexe Canada and make it America’s ’51st state’, his decision to accept the invitation at such short notice was seen as a strong gesture of unity, and the red carpet was rolled out.

    Indeed it is only the second time a King or Queen of Canada has ever opened Parliament, the last being his late mother in 1957.

    Charles and Camilla were escorted in a horse-drawn landau, escorted by flag-bearing ‘Mounties’, and met by a 100-strong Guard of Honour at Ottawa’s Senate building, along with a 21-gun salute.

    The King stood for the British and Canadian national anthems and inspected the soldiers, looking deeply moved at times.

    Queen Camilla, 77 – wearing a navy blue crepe silk embroidered dress by Fiona Clare, a matching hat by Philip Treacy and carrying a Chanel bag – looked on proudly.

    She also sported her Canadian Rifles brooch as the regiment’s colonel in chief, with a pearl and diamond choker.

    The King was wearing a lounge suit with medals and his Order of Canada around his neck.

    Aides revealed, as an aside, that the Queen’s great-great-great grandfather, Sir Allan Napier MacNab, was a leading Canadian politician who led the ‘province of Canada’ as it was then known.

    After taking his place in the chamber, the Queen on a throne by his side, the King finally read his much-anticipated ‘Speech from the Throne’, written – as it is in Britain – by the Canadian government and outlining their new legislative agenda for the coming Parliament.

    Nailing his colours firmly to the mast, the King said: 'As I have said before, every time I come¿ a little more of Canada seeps into my bloodstream and from there straight to my heart.'

    However it was clear the King had added a strong personal touch to their words, which went further than many had predicted given the delicate nature of the UK’s relationship with President Trump.

    Nailing his colours firmly to the mast, the King said: ‘This is my 20th visit to Canada, spread over the course of more than half a century, and my first as sovereign. As I have said before, every time I come… a little more of Canada seeps into my bloodstream and from there straight to my heart.

    ‘I have always had the greatest admiration for Canada’s unique identity, which is recognised across the world for bravery and sacrifice in defence of national values, and for the diversity and kindness of Canadians.’

    He added: ‘It has been nearly 70 years since the sovereign first opened Parliament. In the time since, Canada has dramatically changed – repatriating its constitution, achieving full independence and witnessing immense growth.

    ‘Canada has embraced its British, French and indigenous roots, and become a bold, ambitious, innovative country that is bilingual, truly multicultural and committed to reconciliation.’

    Charles was met with a standing ovation from all in parliament as he said: 'It is a source of great pride that, in the following decades, Canada has continued to set an example to the world in her conduct and values, as a force for good.'

    He concluded: ‘The Crown has for so long been a symbol of unity for Canada. It also represents stability and continuity from the past to the present. When my dear late mother addressed your predecessors seven decades ago, she said that in that age, and against the backdrop of international affairs, no nation could live unto itself.

    ‘It is a source of great pride that, in the following decades, Canada has continued to set an example to the world in her conduct and values, as a force for good.’

    Charles was met with a standing ovation from all in parliament yesterday. But former prime minister Justin Trudeau raised eyebrows after wearing green and red Adidas Gazelle trainers to the event.

    Afterwards, Charles and the Queen embarked on a brief walkabout before conducting a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the National War Memorial, then flying out of the country just 24 hours after they had arrived.

    Prince Harry’s reality is being laid bare as whispers about him playing second fiddle to Meghan Markle continue to intensify. Once seen as the supporting act in his wife’s journey, the Duke of Sussex appears ready to rewrite the script and redefine his narrative.

    Prince Harry Breaks Free From the ‘Spare’ Label

    Sources close to the couple suggest that Prince Harry is increasingly frustrated with being branded as Meghan Markle’s “spare”—a term that echoes his royal upbringing as the younger brother to Prince William. In reality, insiders say he’s been allowing Meghan the room to thrive, but the tide is turning in his favor.

     

    “Harry is unkindly described as the ‘spare’ to Meghan’s endeavors. In reality, he has been giving her the space to flourish. Now it is his time to throw himself into exciting new work,” a source told Mail on Sunday. “Invictus will always be his priority, but he’s also been developing commercial ventures of his own.”

    The Growing Struggles and Personal Ambitions

    As the claims surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to intensify, royal expert Ingrid Seward weighed in, suggesting Harry may face immense challenges should he ever separate from Meghan. The reality of life outside the monarchy is already testing enough, and breaking away from Meghan could make things even harder.

     

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020, choosing to settle in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Since then, the couple has made headlines for accusing the Royal Family of racism and openly voicing their struggles in public interviews—claims that continue to spark global conversation.

    Plotting a New Chapter

    Despite ongoing scrutiny and public speculation, Prince Harry seems determined to craft his own path. With the reality of his role in the spotlight growing ever clearer, he’s aiming to shake off the “spare” label once and for all. Whether through Invictus, new business ventures, or a reinvigorated public presence, Harry’s ambitions are set to intensify.

    Though often caught in the whirlwind of media attention and claims surrounding his marriage, Prince Harry is quietly reshaping his legacy. While Meghan Markle continues to captivate audiences, Harry’s journey is no longer in her shadow—it’s becoming a story of personal evolution, laid bare for the world to see.

  • Prince Harry’s BIZARRE BBC Interview BACKFIRES: Meghan’s Secret Influence?

    Prince Harry’s BIZARRE BBC Interview BACKFIRES: Meghan’s Secret Influence?

    Prince Harry has truly lost it. You’d think that after multiple tell all interviews have gone horribly and ended with him not only being exposed for lies, but for looking unstable, he’d stop. Instead, he’s upping the act leading me personally believe someone needs to up-up the dosage or therapy because whatever he’s doing… is not helping.

    For someone who is soooo concerned about safety, he was surely wandering around London ringing doorbells looking for a friend who apparently doesn’t live there anymore.

    This embarrassment came after Harry’s hypocritical interview with the BBC, where he blames his father, aka the King, for his lack of security while simultaneously acting like someone holier than thou, saying there’s no point in fighting anymore.

    And nothing is worse than Meghan Markle pretending everything is fine while she simultaneously takes down Harry… allegedly. Let’s discuss.

    In recent months, Prince Harry has become a figure of intense scrutiny and debate. With a series of tell-all interviews that have not only backfired but also exposed him to accusations of dishonesty and instability, many are left wondering: has Prince Harry truly lost it? His actions and statements suggest a man grappling with his identity and the consequences of his choices, leading to a public persona that is increasingly difficult to take seriously.

    Harry’s journey from beloved royal to a figure of ridicule has been marked by a series of missteps. After his explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he and Meghan Markle spilled family secrets and grievances, public sentiment shifted. Instead of garnering sympathy, Harry found himself facing backlash. His subsequent memoir, “Spare,” further fueled the fire, as he oscillated between portraying himself as a victim and a villain. The contradictions in his narrative have left many questioning his credibility.

    In a recent interview with the BBC, Harry claimed he desired reconciliation with his family while simultaneously blaming his father, King Charles, for his lack of security. This hypocrisy is glaring. How can one seek to mend familial ties while publicly airing grievances? His assertion that there is “no point in continuing to fight” rings hollow when juxtaposed with his ongoing media appearances, which seem more about self-promotion than genuine healing.

    Harry’s concerns about security are particularly perplexing. He has repeatedly emphasized the dangers he and his family face, yet his actions suggest a disconnect. Wandering around London, ringing doorbells in search of a friend who no longer lives there, raises eyebrows. For someone so concerned about safety, this behavior appears reckless and erratic. It begs the question: is Harry truly in danger, or is he simply seeking attention?

    His legal battles for taxpayer-funded security have also drawn criticism. Many royal family members, including Prince Andrew and Princess Beatrice, do not receive such protection, yet Harry seems to believe he is entitled to it despite stepping back from royal duties. His insistence that his status has not changed is baffling; he is no longer a working royal, and the public is not inclined to fund his security when he has chosen a different path.

    Harry’s attempts to garner public sympathy have often backfired. In the BBC interview, he mentioned his father’s health issues, hinting at a sense of urgency in their relationship. However, using his father’s health as a bargaining chip in a public forum is not only insensitive but also manipulative. It suggests a desperate need for validation and attention, rather than a genuine desire for reconciliation.

    Moreover, Harry’s portrayal of himself as a victim of circumstance is troubling. He often speaks of the challenges he faces, yet he seems to overlook the privileges he enjoys. Living in a mansion in California, with financial security and a platform to voice his grievances, does not align with the struggles of the average person. His narrative of hardship feels disingenuous, as he appears to be searching for validation in a life that many would consider enviable.

    Meghan Markle’s influence on Harry cannot be overlooked. Since their marriage, Harry has distanced himself from many of his longtime friends and family members. This isolation has led to speculation about the dynamics of their relationship and the impact it has had on his mental health. While Meghan has positioned herself as a champion of mental health awareness, the couple’s actions often contradict this message. Their public appearances, filled with staged moments and social media updates, suggest a desire for fame rather than genuine connection.

    The recent incident where Harry was seen wandering around London looking for friends raises further questions about his mental state. Many observers noted how lost and frazzled he appeared, leading to speculation about his well-being. Is this a man seeking genuine connection, or is it a publicity stunt gone wrong? The line between the two has become increasingly blurred.

    Harry and Meghan’s attempts to maintain a low profile have often resulted in the opposite effect. Their attendance at high-profile events, such as Beyoncé’s concert, contradicts their claims of wanting privacy. The couple seems to thrive on the attention, yet they simultaneously lament the lack of it. This contradiction has led to a public relations disaster, with many questioning their sincerity.

    Harry’s recent birthday message to a veteran, which was publicized, further exemplifies this disconnect. Instead of a private gesture, it became another opportunity for public exposure. The couple’s actions often seem calculated, as if they are trying to craft a narrative that aligns with their desired image while failing to recognize the reality of their situation.

    Prince Harry’s recent behavior suggests a man in crisis, struggling to reconcile his past with his present. His repeated attempts to seek sympathy and validation, coupled with erratic actions and contradictory statements, paint a picture of someone who is lost. The public’s perception of him has shifted dramatically, and it remains to be seen whether he can regain any semblance of respectability.

    As he continues to navigate this tumultuous journey, one can only hope that he finds the help he needs to address his mental health and the underlying issues that have led to this public unraveling. The world is watching, and the stakes are high—not just for Harry, but for the legacy of the royal family he has chosen to distance himself from.

  • Belgium’s royal house announces something unbelievable about Queen Mathilde: it’s time

    Belgium’s royal house announces something unbelievable about Queen Mathilde: it’s time

    Her Majesty has become the main protagonist at the Center for Fine Arts in Brussels

     

    The Belgian Royal House has taken an unexpected step by placing Queen Mathilde at the center of institutional prominence. During the latest edition of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Piano Competition, held at the Center for Fine Arts in Brussels, the sovereign was the standout figure. Experts state that this event is unbelievable, as she received more attention than the king.

    Mathilde’s appearance was significant not only because of her role, but also because of the image she projected to the public. Dressed in a white gown with a flowing cape and clean lines, she managed to balance avant-garde and classicism with impeccable elegance. Her outfit, designed by Natan Couture, included silk details and transparent stones, which she had already worn previously at official events.

    To complete her look, the queen chose long earrings set with diamonds, which accentuated her figure without detracting from the sobriety of the ensemble. The decision to repeat the same dress she wore at the Belgian reception in Paris has been interpreted as a gesture of sustainability. This detail, along with her calm and firm demeanor, has helped reinforce the image of a close and modern monarch.

    What truly drew attention at this event was not only the aesthetics or the protocol, but the institutional message it conveyed. For the first time in a long while, the Belgian monarchy made it clear that Mathilde not only accompanies, but leads. Her speech was the most desired of the evening, and all eyes were on her.

    Data that support Queen Mathilde

    According to data released by institutional communication experts, the queen’s popularity has increased by 50% in recent months. This rise coincides with public events in which she has spoken confidently, addressing topics such as mental health, culture, and education. Public support arrived quickly, consolidating her image as an essential pillar of the monarchy.

    Meanwhile, the king’s role was discreetly relegated to the background at this musical event. Although he was present and fulfilled his official duties, the visual and symbolic spotlight was entirely on his wife. This is a clear sign that the Royal House is renewing its codes and expanding the consort’s role on the international stage.

    Mathilde’s prominence is not the result of improvisation, but of years of constant and discreet work. Since her arrival in the royal family, she has committed to a profile engaged with social and cultural causes. Without making noise, she has gradually gained presence in international forums, building a solid and respected reputation.

    This latest event has served as a turning point in the way the Belgian monarchy communicates with its citizens. By highlighting Mathilde as the central figure, the institution has sent a message of modernity and balance. The queen embodies contemporary values that connect with today’s society, and her image is associated with transparency, approachability, and responsibility.

    Belgian royals make history

    All of this has helped consolidate her position as an essential figure within the institution. She not only complements the king, but acts as a leader in her own right. With an increasingly international profile and a solid base of public support, Mathilde is emerging as the strongest face of the Belgian monarchy in this new era.

    The decision by the Belgian Royal House to give Mathilde the spotlight at this event is not an isolated gesture. It is confirmation that her role has evolved, and she is now an active part of the institutional narrative. This change has been celebrated by the international press, which highlights her elegance, firmness, and ability to connect with the public.

    Moreover, her choice of clothing and jewelry has been praised as an example of aesthetic coherence and symbolism. Wearing an outfit already seen before has been interpreted as a nod to sustainability and common sense. These kinds of decisions reinforce her closeness to the people and distance her from any image of unnecessary ostentation.

    With this public revaluation, Queen Mathilde is consolidating herself as an essential figure on the European stage. Her ability to naturally assume a leading role shows that she is ready to lead top-level events. Beyond the symbolic, her growing popularity reflects social support that opens a new era in the history of the Belgian monarchy.

    180º turn in England after King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s secret

    Few could have imagined what the marriage between the King of England and his wife had kept quiet until now

     

    Over the past few years, the love story of King Charles III of England and his wife, Queen Camilla, has caused much discussion. In fact, many people believe that the current consort was responsible for the breakup of the marriage between Queen Elizabeth II’s son and Lady Di. However, royal biographer Ingrid Seward has now stated that it was not actually Camilla who ruined the marriage but rather “the people around Charles.”

    The aforementioned journalist has revealed the phrase that Diana of Wales told her just before she died. Seward maintained an important friendship with the late princess.

    It was Charles III’s inner circle that ultimately ended the marriage of the then heir Europa Press, en.catalunyadiari.com

    She spent some time with her just a few weeks before her death, on August 31, 1997. As the author of several books about Prince William of England’s mother, she has now decided to reveal the determining factor that ended the royal marriage.

    A revealing comment sheds light on what ultimately triggered Charles and Diana’s separation. “She told me just before she died that it wasn’t Camilla,” Seward stated on the A right royal podcast from Hello! magazine.

    Until now, it was believed that the main reason the fairy tale starring Charles and Diana ended in the worst way was Camilla. She was a woman with whom the current monarch had an extramarital relationship for years and whom he later married after the death of his first wife.

    Until now, everyone thought that Camilla was the one who caused Charles and Diana’s divorce Europa Press

    With the breakup, Charles, who was then 47 years old, found a clear path to finally unite his life with Camilla Parker Bowles. After overcoming some obstacles, the couple married in 2005, a wedding that the late Diana never got to know about.

    Queen Elizabeth II demanded that Charles of England and Diana of Wales divorce

    What Diana did do was release what happened in her marriage. “Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” she confessed to the BBC. She then admitted that she didn’t believe her then-husband had what it took to adapt to the task of being king, but she didn’t want to divorce.

    It was then when Queen Elizabeth II considered that making the heir’s marital problems public did too much damage to the credibility of the Windsors. The monarch, after consulting with the Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote letters to Charles and Diana urging them to divorce as soon as possible.

    Elizabeth was inflexible; she was convinced of the need to end the bond between the heir and the almost perfect princess as soon as possible. This decision ultimately ended the fairy tale and began another story known to all.

    During one of his latest public appearances, Prince William has left more than a few people speechless with the latest and unexpected personal decision he has made. After learning some recent information related to Kate Middleton, he didn’t think twice before speaking out about it.

    There is no doubt that the public life of the Princess of Wales has taken a radical turn in recent weeks thanks to the remission of her cancer. This news brought great joy among followers of the British royal family.

    Since then, Kate Middleton’s appearances have been constant, generating excitement and anticipation at every event. However, at the latest one, an unexpected comment from a fan did not go unnoticed at all.

    So much so that even Prince William had no qualms about reacting completely spontaneously to the words just addressed to his wife.

    Prince William speaks out about the comment Kate Middleton received: “You don’t have to say that”

    Last Thursday, May 22, Prince William and Kate Middleton attended an official event in Scotland: the christening of a new vessel. That day, as is tradition, the Princess of Wales was in charge of smashing a bottle of whisky against the hull of the ship to inaugurate it.

    In addition to delivering an emotional speech, the future queen consort drew all eyes thanks to her elegant navy blue dress with ivory trim. This style not only set a trend, but also showed the good physical condition she keeps despite her illness.

    As expected, Kate Middleton’s presence marked one of the most symbolic moments of the day. When she left this important event, a fan expressed his excitement at seeing Prince William’s wife at an event like this again.

    “Beautiful,” this man shouted, according to several media outlets, including The Mirror. However, the comment was not only heard by the princess, but also by her husband.

    That’s why, when he realized that Prince William also looked toward the side where the comment had been heard, this person wanted to have a nice gesture with him as well. “You too, William!” the citizen exclaimed.

    Nevertheless, what attracted the most attention was the unexpected reaction of the future British king. Very surprised by the compliment, the son of Charles III did not hesitate to respond with laughter: “You don’t have to say that, don’t worry!”

    Urgent statement about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: They’ve already made the decision

    Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, confirm the step they have decided to take, which changes everything

     

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to separate their schedules and attend official events solo. This is evident from the latest statement issued by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, where they are seen alone at their respective events. For example, Harry traveled to Shanghai to participate in the Envision 2025 conference in support of the environment.

    Meanwhile, Meghan has chosen to stay in California to prepare her next podcast and work on her personal brand. Markle is also focused on her Netflix documentary, With Love, Meghan, leaving the most representative part to Harry.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s definitive step

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have radically changed their lives since leaving the British royal family. Settled in California, their goals are now different and they have chosen a much less institutional and strict life.

    In this context, the decision that Harry and Meghan have made and communicated has been to keep separate schedules. The couple’s new professional strategy is for each to attend their respective events to avoid interfering with the other’s. In addition, this allows them to focus personally on their individual projects.

     

    Prince Harry has intensified his dedication to charitable causes, participating in events such as the Envision 2025 conference in Shanghai. There, he promoted sustainable tourism through his organization Travalyst, achieving great acceptance from attendees.

    Meanwhile, Meghan keeps a much less hectic schedule. The former actress enjoys her time at home while moving forward with her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder. In addition, Markle continues to move forward with her personal self-care and craft-made products brand.

    This professional separation also responds to family considerations, allowing one of them to remain at home with their children while the other fulfills public commitments. In this sense, it seems that Meghan is the one who travels less outside the home, which allows her to keep an eye on Archie and Lilibet.

    Their independent projects reflect their values and both seek to contribute to a fairer and more equitable world. They also strive for a healthy life where respect for the environment is the main focus.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle separate their paths

    For many, the fact that Prince Harry and Meghan have separated their schedules sparks rumors of a crisis in the marriage. However, the latest posts from the Suits actress show that they are more united than ever.

    The fact that they have separated their paths is only in the professional sphere, as they continue to share moments as a family. In addition, Harry and Meghan continue to collaborate on joint projects through their Archewell Foundation, showing their shared commitment to social causes.

    The separation of schedules doesn’t imply personal distance, but rather reinforces the commitment to support each other while they explore new professional facets. Harry has emphasized his desire to remain involved in global charitable initiatives, including Invictus Games, which he considers his greatest personal legacy.

    Meanwhile, Meghan has drawn on her past as an actress and has become involved in audiovisual projects. She is determined to consolidate her presence in media and female empowerment projects, exploring new creative avenues.

    Despite the separation of their schedules, the couple continue to support each other and share key decisions that affect their family and personal projects. Their commitment to their children’s well-being and their role as parents remains the most important priority in their lives. Both trust that this stage will strengthen their relationship, showing that mutual respect and independence can coexist harmoniously.

    The news of The Vivienne’s passing was confirmed on Sunday and shared by their publicist and friend, Simon Jones. “Their devastated dad raised the alarm and believed they had passed away a day or two before being found,” a source told the Sun.

     

    “James was due to move to a $500,000 house next week, and had a holiday lined up. They were planning a tour and really had everything to live for.”

    Announcing The Vivienne’s death, their publicist released a statement saying: “It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved James Lee Williams – The Vivienne, has passed this weekend. James was an incredibly loved, warm-hearted and amazing person. Their family are heartbroken at the loss of their son, brother and uncle.”

    In a heartfelt tribute, Simon expressed his admiration for The Vivienne, reflecting on their special relationship. He said: “These are words I never ever wanted to write. Viv was a close friend, a client and someone I loved very much. From the moment I met them in 2019 I knew we could create magic together and I became their manager. Their talent was immense and the light they brought to every room was astonishing. No one has ever made me laugh in my life as much as Viv did. Their comic genius and quick wit was like no other.”

    “I’m so proud and lucky that Viv was such a big part of my life every day for the last 5 years. It’s tragic that their career was only just beginning. In musical theatre Viv had found a space and career they loved, excelled and thrived in. I am heartbroken and devastated at this news. RIP my wonderful friend. You left us way too soon.”

    The Vivienne’s final public appearance was just a week before their untimely passing, performing in Blackpool in the West End production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as The Childcatcher. Days before their death, the star also took to social media to encourage fans to support a charitable cause, reports the Mirror.
