The former royal couple were spotted getting off the plane on October 16. They were greeted by customs and border patrol officers as they left the tarmac. Meghan looked fresh and healthy after her vacation. She was ready for Atlanta’s cool weather by wearing a black long-sleeved maxi dress, brown flats and a blue scarf.

The 42-year-old Duchess wore sunglasses, her hair in a messy bun, and carried a souvenir bag emblazoned with the words “Cream of the Islands” and held a sun hat. Meanwhile, Harry carried a leather bag, wore a white polo shirt, olive khaki pants and suede shoes, and a black baseball cap.

The Sussexes’ two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were not seen at the airport, further fueling speculation that Harry and Meghan were on a private vacation in the Caribbean. It is unclear whether the couple were in Atlanta for work or pleasure. The Georgia city is home to Meghan’s close friend Tyler Perry, who owns several studios.

Harry and Meghan have been enjoying a few quiet days on Canouan Island after a busy week of attending the Invictus Games in Germany and the Archewell Foundation’s first live event for World Mental Health Day. The pair were spotted walking hand in hand on the cobblestoned walkways by the marina in Glossy Bay on Saturday, according to the Mail . In keeping with the island’s reputation as a place for billionaires, Meghan wore a $6,600 dress by French fashion house Chloé. She also carried a $1,560 St. Louis PM tote bag by Goyard.

“The couple looked happy. As Harry walked out of the shop, he slightly bumped into one of the boxes outside and they both giggled. Then Meghan reached out and held her husband’s hand. They seemed very happy to be on holiday together,” the source told the Mail .

Meghan and Harry shopped at Faye, a luxury grocery store that bills itself as offering “fresh, seasonal organic produce, from vegetables to cheeses, sweets, seafood and exclusive meats” imported from France. After browsing the shelves, the couple walked along a bougainvillea-lined walkway before boarding a luxury boat that took them to the northern coast of Canouan.

Canouan is less than 5 km wide but is known as a place for the super rich. In addition to Harry – Meghan , stars who are fans of this paradise island include Robert Downey Jr, Leonardo DiCaprio and George – Amal Clooney.

Highbrow Hippie is now the third brand Meghan has publicly shared she’s invested in, in addition to Cesta Collective and Clevr.

In August this year, Meghan had revealed that she invested in the female-founded, sustainably sourced handbag brand Cesta Collective.

She had said that there are between five and ten brands currently in her portfolio.

Meghan Markle is “worried” over Prince Harry’s attempts to reconnect with the Royal Family, sources have claimed.

Meghan Markle “can never forgive the Royal Family” for never apologising to her and Prince Harry, sources have claimed.

Prince Harry is planning a return to the UK next month and is said to be keen on a reconnecting with the Prince and Princess of Wales during the visit.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, is returning to mark the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games in London on May 8.

The Duchess, however, is said to concerned that he will regret the decision of trying to reconnect with his family.

According to OK!, a source said: “Meghan knows she is facing a losing battle when it comes to Harry reaching out to Kate and William to try and sort through their differences, but she thinks he’s making a big mistake.”

It comes after royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that Kate’s cancer diagnosis could be an “enormous game changer” in the royal feud.

The Princess of Wales revealed she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year.

The source added: “She obviously feels sympathy for Kate and what she’s going through, but in her mind, it doesn’t change things.

“[Meghan] wants her to make a full recovery and for the family to all be ok but four years on from leaving and she’s still upset by it all and can never fully forgive the royals for what they put her and Harry through and have never apologised.”

Meghan Markle has reportedly said she will only consider reconciling with the royal family if she is included in the peace talks and will not let The Firm ‘sideline’ her

Meghan Markle has given Prince Harry an ultimatum over any possible peace talks with the royal family and insisted she doesn’t want to be “side-lined,” according to a source.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been on tense terms with The Firm ever since they stepped down as senior royals and moved to America in 2020. The relationship between Harry and his brother Prince William is currently non-existent.

Following recent health scares within the royal family, however, speculation has risen about a potential end to the royal feud. Amid the rumors, one source has claimed that while Meghan is supportive of Harry’s desire to make amends, she wants to be involved.

“Meghan is all for Harry making peace with his family, but she’s not going to let them sideline her in the process,” the source said. They added, “She’s been very clear that she’s not about to let William, or anyone else, drive a wedge between her and Harry.”

Speaking to Heat World Magazine, the source suggested Meghan feels as though any attempt of a reunion with just Harry is a “no-go.” They continued, “She feels strongly that she and Harry are a team, and if his family wants to welcome him back but not her, that will be a dealbreaker.”

The source also said Harry and Meghan are still very much united and described them as a “package deal.” The source disclosed, “There is a big worry that Meghan could turn out to be a real roadblock in the peace talks.”

They continued, revealing Kate Middleton’s alleged concerns, “Kate is still very optimistic, she’s seen a lot of changes in Harry, and she does believe he’s ready to compromise and let some of the past go, but she’s worried Meghan may stand in the way.”

They concluded, “At the end of the day, Meghan and Kate both have very different ideas on what it will take for them to reconcile.”

 

 

The Duchess of Sussex’s sister Samantha Markle is pursuing a legal case against Meghan

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded “evil” by Samantha Markle’s attorney, who claims the Duke of Sussex wants to control American speech.

Peter Ticktin, of the Ticktin Law Group, launched a scathing attack on the Duke of Sussex during ongoing legal proceedings between Meghan Markle and her half-sister.

“To most of us, Americans, we couldn’t give a tinker’s damn as to whether that prince is the Duke of Wales, the Duke of Sussex, or the Duke of Earl,” Ticktin told Newsweek.

The attorney criticised Harry’s presence in the United States, stating: “This Duke is here as our guest, and his goal seems to be to control our speech.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded “evil” by Samantha Markle’s attorney, who claims the Duke of Sussex wants to control American speech.

Ticktin’s criticism centred on Harry’s involvement with the Aspen Institute’s Commission on Information Disorder, which he mockingly referred to as the “Ministry of Truth.”

The attorney took particular issue with Harry’s role as one of 16 governors who “decide which statements on our internet should be deleted as misinformation.”

The commission, according to its website, works with government, private sector and civil society to address the spread of false information online.

Ticktin also referenced Harry’s previous comments about the US First Amendment being “Bonkers,” suggesting this showed the Duke’s attitudes towards American freedoms.

Ticktin further criticised Harry and Meghan’s recent initiatives around internet safety.

In recent filings, Samantha’s team also referred to Harry using Prince William’s title, Prince of Wales.

Ticktin further criticised Harry and Meghan’s recent initiatives around internet safety.

“The Sussex Squad smear, threaten, and set out to destroy anyone who criticises Meghan or Harry,” Ticktin said. “They are the evil which Harry pretends to be against.”

The comments follow the launch of The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Network in August, where Harry discussed online risks to young people.

During a CBS Sunday Mornings interview, Harry expressed concern about social media’s impact on children.

“They could be in the next-door room on a tablet or on a phone and can be going down these rabbit holes,” Harry said. “And before you know it, within 24 hours, they could be taking their life.”

Meghan Markle and Grace Kelly: Parallels Between Two Princesses

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is frequently compared to Grace Kelly, the iconic American actress who became Princess of Monaco. Both women captured the world’s imagination with their beauty, talent, and eventual transition from Hollywood to royalty. While they lived in different eras, the striking similarities between Meghan and Grace reveal a shared narrative of love, resilience, and reinvention in the face of tradition.

From Hollywood Spotlight to Royal Court

Grace Kelly was already a celebrated film star when she met Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1955, leaving behind a successful career to marry him and embrace her role as a European royal. Decades later, Meghan Markle would make a similar choice, stepping away from her acting career after her role on Suits to marry Prince Harry. For both women, this decision marked a drastic shift, trading the independence and glamour of Hollywood for the duty-bound life of royalty.

Their journeys from Hollywood to royalty transformed their lives but also brought challenges. Grace had to adapt to a life of diplomacy, leaving behind her acting career and adopting a new role as Monaco’s princess. Similarly, Meghan left the familiarity of her career and home in the United States, facing the demanding and traditional life of British royalty.

Bridging Cultures: The American Princesses

As American women entering European royal circles, Meghan and Grace both introduced a fresh perspective. Grace brought a touch of Hollywood sophistication and glamour to Monaco, helping put the small principality on the global stage. Likewise, Meghan’s American background, paired with her modern, progressive ideals, brought diversity and change to the British royal family, attracting a new, younger audience.

Their cultural differences sometimes caused friction with traditional royal circles, but both Grace and Meghan found ways to adapt while staying true to their values. Grace became a beloved figure in Monaco, known for her grace and commitment to philanthropic work, and Meghan, too, has focused on social issues, using her platform to promote causes close to her heart, from mental health to racial justice.

Challenges Within Royal Life

Both Meghan and Grace faced unique pressures in royal life. Grace was said to have struggled with the isolation of royal life in Monaco, which contrasted with the vibrant Hollywood lifestyle she had known. Likewise, Meghan has spoken openly about the personal and mental health challenges she faced within the British monarchy, describing moments of loneliness and feeling misunderstood.

Their struggles reflect the complexities that come with marrying into royalty. While Grace had to navigate the expectations of Monaco’s people and the demands of royal etiquette, Meghan encountered intense media scrutiny in the UK, often amplified by her background and race.

Defining Their Legacy Through Philanthropy

Grace Kelly found purpose in her royal role through her philanthropic work, championing the arts and social causes, which helped endear her to Monaco’s people. She created the Princess Grace Foundation to support emerging artists, securing her legacy as a patron of culture and charity.

Meghan, similarly, has carved out her own path through her charity work. Together with Prince Harry, she founded the Archewell Foundation, focusing on humanitarian projects that align with her progressive values. From promoting gender equality to supporting mental health initiatives, Meghan has used her influence to bring about social change, cementing her role as a modern-day philanthropist.

Challenging Royal Norms

Both Grace and Meghan challenged traditional royal norms in ways that set them apart. Grace’s glamorous, American style was unlike anything seen in European royalty, influencing royal fashion for years to come. Meghan, known for her modern style, broke several fashion protocols of the British royal family, choosing outfits that reflect her personality rather than sticking to conservative royal expectations.

Moreover, Meghan’s openness about issues like mental health and systemic racism has helped destigmatize these topics, breaking with the monarchy’s traditionally reserved stance. Like Grace, Meghan has taken bold steps that challenge the status quo, showing that a royal title doesn’t have to mean sacrificing individuality.

An Enduring Legacy

The parallels between Meghan Markle and Grace Kelly reveal two women who, despite immense pressure, shaped their own destinies. Grace’s influence in Monaco remains strong to this day, while Meghan’s legacy is still evolving as she navigates her role beyond the confines of royal life. Their stories of resilience, independence, and advocacy resonate with millions and continue to inspire new generations.

Both Meghan Markle and Grace Kelly exemplify the unique journey of those who transition from Hollywood stardom to the strictures of royalty, merging the worlds of glamour and duty while forging a legacy of compassion and strength.

Breaking News: Prince Harry Returns to the UK with Son Archie, Causing a Stir at Buckingham Palace

In a surprising and heartfelt turn of events, Prince Harry has returned to the United Kingdom after five years of stepping away from royal duties. Accompanying him is his young son, Prince Archie, whose presence is already making waves throughout Buckingham Palace.

This marks the first time Prince Archie, now five years old, has set foot in the palace since his parents’ departure from royal life in 2020. The visit has reportedly brought a mix of joy and nostalgia for the royal family, with many eager to reconnect with the young prince. Witnesses inside the palace have described Archie as a “bundle of energy,” charming staff and family members alike with his cheerful demeanor and curiosity about his royal heritage.

Prince Harry’s return is seen as a significant step toward rebuilding ties with the family. Insiders suggest that the Duke of Sussex chose this moment to reconnect with his father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William, signaling a desire for reconciliation. Bringing Archie along is believed to be a heartfelt gesture to bridge the generational gap and foster a closer bond between the young prince and his royal relatives.

Archie’s presence has sparked excitement, especially among the staff and younger royal family members. According to sources, the little prince has been exploring the palace gardens and learning about royal traditions in a way that balances his upbringing in California with his deep-rooted ties to British royalty. His bright personality and playful interactions with cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are said to have brought a renewed sense of joy to the palace.

The visit also comes amid speculation about Harry’s future role within the monarchy. While no official announcements have been made, many are wondering whether this trip could signify a potential return to royal duties in some capacity. For now, the focus remains on family unity and allowing Archie to connect with his royal heritage.

As the public watches closely, this reunion offers hope for healing within the royal family. Prince Harry’s decision to bring Archie back to the UK underscores the importance of family ties, even in the face of past challenges. With smiles, laughter, and a renewed sense of togetherness echoing through Buckingham Palace, the visit marks a new chapter for the Sussexes and the monarchy.

Death of Queen Elizabeth II has been announced at the age of 96, ending longest reign of any British monarch
Passing of Her Majesty comes 17 months after her husband Prince Philip died in April 2021 at the age of 99 
Family members gathered by the side of the British monarch at her Scottish home of Balmoral during her final hours, with the nation now poised for a ten-day period of mourning ahead of her funeral 
The Queen first met Prince Philip as a 13-year-old girl and from that moment on was a ‘one-man woman’  
The teenage romance grew into a deep love that formed the foundation of a marriage that lasted 73 years 

When Prince Philip died in 2021, the Queen took solace in knowing they would be reunited in death  
Now that day has come, a look back at the great love story that defined her love – and the modern monarchy 

The death of Queen Elizabeth II has been announced by Buckingham Palace this afternoon.  

England’s longest serving monarch died peacefully at Balmoral, at the age of 96, today with members of the extended royal family, including Prince Charles, the oldest and longest serving heir apparent in British history, by her bedside.

 

 

The nation now begins an extended period of mourning, reflecting on her extraordinary life and service – and one of history’s most enduring romances. 

Like all great love stories, the Queen and Prince Philip’s had a great beginning. A 13-year-old princess met a handsome young naval officer and, despite her tender years, fell head-over-heels in love.

The princess was Elizabeth, daughter of King George VI and heir to the British throne. The 18-year-old naval cadet was Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark.

From that day on Elizabeth was a ‘one-man woman’. As one friend would later say: ‘She never looked at anyone else. She was smitten from the start’.

His feelings were just as strong. In a letter to his new mother-in-law after their 1947 wedding, he wrote: ‘Lilibet is the only ‘thing’ in this world which is absolutely real to me.’

This deep, unwavering love formed the foundation of a marriage that lasted 73 years and was at the heart of the modern British monarchy. It only ended with the death of the Duke of Edinburgh in April 2021, at the age of 99.

At the time, the Queen turned to words first spoken at their Golden Wedding Anniversary to try and encapsulate all that her husband had meant to her. 

‘He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know.’ 

After his death, sources said she was ‘comforted’ by her faith that they would one day ‘be reunited’.  

Now, as the nation bids farewell to Queen Elizabeth II, a look back at the great love of her life.

“As the summer draws to a close, I can’t describe the relief I felt when I finished my chemotherapy. The past 9 months have been extremely difficult for my family. As you know, lives can change in the blink of an eye and we have to find ways to weather storms and unpredictable paths,” Kate said in the video.

Princess Kate completes chemotherapy

Princess Kate said she has completed chemotherapy for cancer, but added that the journey to a full recovery is still long.

“I cannot express how relieved I am to finally finish my chemotherapy. The past nine months have been incredibly difficult for our family,” Princess Kate’s office shared a message from her on September 9.

Kate said the journey of fighting cancer is complicated, scary and unpredictable. “It makes you face your vulnerabilities in a way you never thought possible before, it gives you a new perspective on things,” said Princess Kate.

According to the British Princess, the recent period of treatment has reminded her and Prince William to reflect and be grateful for the seemingly simple but important things in life, the things we take for granted.

“It’s simply to love and be loved,” Kate said.

Kate said she would begin some public engagements later this year, although “the road to full recovery is still a long one”. Her last public appearances since announcing her diagnosis were at Trooping the Colour in June and Wimbledon in July.

Kate, 42, spent two weeks in hospital in January after abdominal surgery. Two months later, she announced she had cancer. Her office, Kensington Palace, said chemotherapy began in February and did not say what type of cancer she had.
