Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly concerned about an upcoming German documentary and the secrets it could reveal.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “desperate” attempt to leave the past behind them could be threatened by a new German documentary by experienced royal reporter Ulrike Grunewald.

The journalist and her team have even travelled to Montecito in California, where the Sussexes live, to speak to their neighbours and get an inside glimpse into their personal lives.

The couple are said to fear what the “explosive” documentary could uncover, especially about Meghan’s life before the Royal Family, according to a source.

An insider told OK! magazine: “There are many things that both of them, especially Meghan, don’t necessarily want in the public domain.

“It’s no secret that they both led colourful lives before they met each other, and while Harry has spoken about a lot of mistakes in his book, there are still things about Meghan we don’t know.

“It could also delve deeper into her fall-out with Kate and challenge the Sussex camp narrative that it was all Kate’s fault.

“But Harry and Meghan are now desperate to leave everything in the past as they want to start afresh, and I think Harry will fear that their new happiness could be ruined if Meghan’s past is investigated.”

Queen Camilla issues hilarious 8-word King Charles cancer update in chat with guests

Queen Camilla has let-slip King Charles’s inability to rest and recouperate from his cancer treatment in a humourous chat with guests. Speaking to attendees of a garden party at Lamb House in Rye on Thursday afternoon, she confirmed he is “getting better.”

But the 76-year-old added a little joke at the end, summing up in eight words: “Well, he would be if he behaved himself.” She also added that her husband was “quite cross” he couldn’t join her at the event.

This, she added, was because he was a big fan of author EF Benson, who used to live at the property. Camilla enjoyed a performance by actors Timothy West, 89, and Hayley Mills, 78 during her royal engagement.

Prince Harry ‘upset’ as he’s pictured in LA after putting on brave face during UK visit

Prince Harry appeared “downcast in LA” after putting on a brave face for UK visit, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted at the airport in Los Angeles on Monday, touching down after a 18-hour flight back from Nigeria.

Meghan was pictured walking ahead of her husband as they left the airport. Harry, on the other hand, was walking behind looking upset – something that royal expert Tom Quinn suggested could be linked to his recent UK visit.

Harry is said to have hoped that he could have met with his father whilst in the UK, but the monarch posed a busy schedule during his short visit.

‘Should be a Senator’: Meghan Markle tipped for Congress after ‘presidential’ Nigeria tour

Meghan Markle’s recent appearance in Nigeria has led to people suggesting she could run for office.

Her former Suits co-star Erika Alexander believes that Meghan could run for Senator in the US.

She told The Sun: “She was doing great work as an activist, and I think she’d be a great Senator.

“She’d certainly be a great Congress person, and I think it’s a great way to represent not only America and the world, when I say her person, but also Britain.

“Run run, I’ll come and run that campaign and we’ll get this done. You hear me? We’re going to have a great time and we’ll wear a nice little tiara the whole time.”

Princess Kate’s brother James Middleton releases major update on bombshell memoir

James Middleton is set to release his memoir later this year, which has been inspired by his late cocker spaniel Ella, and he has now released the cover.

He adopted her when he was just 20 and they were inseparable for 15 years before her death last year.

James told Tatler: “Writing this book has helped [me deal with the grief I have after Ella’s passing] by enabling me to process the journey that Ella and I went on.

“Ella was there at so many of the important moments of my life, including when I met Alizee. Our son was born after Ella passed away so Inigo never got to meet her, but it’s important to me that he knows all about her.

“Another of the reasons that I wanted to write this book was so that I could tell Inigo the story of how I met his mother.”

A former royal butler has spoken out about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle refusing to sing the English national anthem while in Nigeria.

Paul Burrell told GB News: “They are no longer working royals. They do not represent the King or our country and they’re undermining the good work, which our royals do in Commonwealth countries.

“At royal visits, they play the national anthem. Why was the national anthem being played at their visit?

“It wasn’t a royal visit. They didin’t sing the words to it. I’m not sure whether Meghan knows all the national anthem [but] I’m sure Harry does.”
