  • Meghan Markle makes poignant ‘no family’ comment as she faces Christmas without Royals

    Meghan Markle makes poignant ‘no family’ comment as she faces Christmas without Royals

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are preparing for another Christmas estranged from the royals. And now Meghan has made a telling comment in a new interview about ‘family’

    Meghan Markle is gearing up for the Christmas holidays with her husband and children. But she has raised eyebrows following the release of a new interview, in which she made a poignant comment about family.

    Meghan and Harry are famously estranged from the royals following their exit from The Firm in 2020. The couple have levelled a number of criticisms at members of the monarchy – in their Oprah interview, their Netflix series, and in Spare – and Meghan has stated how “lonely” she felt at the time. As such, a huge gulf has developed between Harry and his family, and the Sussexes will not be spending the festive period at Sandringham.

    Instead, they will remain in Montecito, California with Archie and Lilibet. And speaking to Marie Claire, Meghan spoke about their plans and stressed the importance of “making room at your table for your friends who don’t have family” during the holidays.

    She was also asked how Americans can help newcomers feel at home in the US during the holiday season. “It’s really easy,” she replied. “Just think about how you’d want someone to treat you…how would you want someone to open their arms to you?”

    Meghan spoke to the publication while hosting a pre-holiday dinner for Afghan women who had fled their country and have relocated to the United States. The event was a joint effort between Archewell ‘s The Welcome Project and Mina’s List to “support the creation of programming for women who have recently resettled from Afghanistan “.

    Elsewhere in the interview, Meghan shared her “love” of the holidays, and said of her two children Archie and Lilibet, “every year it gets better”.

    “At first, I think as a mum with children you’re just enjoying having them there, but they’re not understanding everything that’s happening yet,” she said. “But now we’re at the age where I just can’t wait to see it through their lens every year,” she said, adding that the family puts “carrots for the reindeer” out as one of their annual festive traditions.

    Meghan was famously invited to join the royal family for a Sandringham Christmas in 2017 – five months before her wedding to Harry. It was an unprecedented move by the late Queen – neither Princess Kate nor Duchess Sophie spent Christmas Day with their in-laws until after they had tied the knot. But the monarch went out of her way to welcome Meghan.

    According to royal reporter Richard Eden : ” The Queen fast-tracked her entry into the Royal Family, inviting Meghan to join her at a service to mark Commonwealth Day – her first official engagement with the Queen – two months before the wedding. It was another clear indication that Her Majesty valued Meghan and wanted her to be seen as a part of the family without delay.”

    A short time after the 2017 Christmas gathering, Prince Harry told BBC Radio 4’s Today show: “The family loved having her there. There’s always that family part of Christmas [where] there’s always that work element there as well, and I think together we had an amazing time. We had great fun staying with my brother and sister-in-law and running round with the kids. Christmas was fantastic.”

    Asked if there were any family traditions that had to be explained to his partner, Prince Harry divulged: “Oh plenty, I think we’ve got one of the biggest families that I know of, and every family is complex as well. No look, she’s done an absolutely amazing job. She’s getting in there and it’s the family I suppose that she’s never had.”

  • Christmas card signed by King Charles and Diana from the 80s is listed on eBay for £2,000

    Christmas card signed by King Charles and Diana from the 80s is listed on eBay for £2,000

    Christmas card signed by King Charles III and Princess Diana is being sold on eBay – and it could be yours for £2,000.

    The listing for the ‘rare’ royal find, from 1985, features a photo of the couple with their children, Princes William and Harry – then three and one years old.

    The sweet family portrait shows their eldest son lifting his little brother up and grinning for the camera – as they sit on a Shetland Pony together.

    It reads: ‘To you both, from Charles and Diana.’ There is a family portrait of the royal couple with the Princes William and Harry as youngsters.

    The special artefact is all the more rare given royals have for a long time not been allowed to sign autographs due to risk of forgery.

    There are only a handful of exceptions, such as visitors’ books or official documents.

    The card was once auctioned by RR Auction in 2022 and is now available to purchase on eBay being sold by its current owner, who is based in the US.

    It is currently listed for US $2,949.95, or approximately£2,337.89.

    ‘This is a rare and unique item for any collector or fan of King Charles III, Princess Diana, The United Kingdom and The British Royal Family,’ the site says.

    ‘The 1985 Holiday Card features a signature from Princess Diana and King Charles III and comes with a certificate of authenticity from RR Auction.

    ‘The Westminster Collection Ltd & also has been authenticated by Professional Sports Authentication.

    ‘The card showcases a beautiful design and is in excellent condition, perfect for display or as a special addition to any collection.

    ‘The historical significance of this item cannot be overstated, and it is a must-have for any serious collector.

    ‘Don’t miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of history.’

    It comes as last month, Queen Elizabeth II‘s former housemaid was selling her collection of Christmas cards sent to her from the late monarch to help pay for her care in old age.

    June Guerin, now 87,  joined the royal household in the early 1970s after answering an advert in The Lady magazine.

    She served the Queen and Prince Philip for 22 years and became a senior housemaid at Buckingham Palace.

    The Queen was said to be fond of June and she travelled with her and the Duke of Edinburgh, serving at Sandringham, Windsor Castle, Balmoral and on the Royal Yacht Britannia.

    She used to regale her family with the story of how she once danced the Gay Gordon Scottish country dance with Prince Philip at a party.

    June retired in the mid-1990s and used to live in an apartment on the royal estate at Windsor.

    Now suffering from dementia and aged 87, June’s family were selling her royal Christmas cards to help pay for her care.

    There were 24 cards in total dating from 1987 to 2018, with some years missing.

    Also going under the hammer in October were two personal handwritten cards from Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York.

    Mimi Connel Lay, of Lay’s Auctioneers of Penzance, Cornwall, said: ‘June’s collection of Christmas cards are a testament to her devotion to the Royal family.

    ‘Even though she retired from service in the mid-1990s, she still received a Christmas card from the Queen and Prince Philip up until the Queen’s death.

    ‘It is rare for a phenomenal and personal collection such as this to come onto the market. June now has dementia and is in a care home and her family have made the difficult decision to sell these treasured items to help with her care.

    ‘Some of the Christmas cards are great from an historic perspective, showing Harry right in the centre and bosom of his family, which is rather poignant given the current rift.’

    The card for Christmas 1987 carries a photograph of the Queen and Prince Philip and their four grandchildren at the time, Peter, Zara, William and Harry.

    June is originally from Guernsey and never had children.

    In recent years she has lived in Cornwall, near her great niece, Michaell Dunne, who is selling the collection.

    Mrs Dunne, 45, said: ‘She was very loyal to the Queen who I think cared for the people who were around her every day.

    ‘Auntie June was always very descreet when it came to the royal family and never gossiped.

    ‘She did say that her duties included preparing the Queen’s bedroom for bedtime or going in to open the curtains in the morning.

    ‘June’s favourite story was a New Year’s Eve party where the staff were invited to and she danced the Gay Gordons with Prince Philip, that was her claim to fame.

    ‘June has lived in a care home in Cornwall for the past six years and has advancing vascular dementia these days. She forgets that the Queen and Prince Philip have passed away and gets upset if reminded.

    ‘We’d love for June’s collection of cards to be treasured by future generations of people who love the royal family the same way that she does.’

    Victoria and David Beckham spent Easter on deck this year!

    On Sunday, the fashion designer posted photos on Instagram from her holiday celebrations with her former soccer player husband, three of their four kids — Harper, 12, Cruz, 19, and Brooklyn, 25, — and Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, 29.

    The Beckham crew’s Easter revelry looked extra fun this year, as Victoria’s posts showed the family celebrating together on a yacht.

    In the first snap, she and David were photographed from above as they reclined on a day bed on deck. Both dressed casually in shorts and T-shirts, the husband and wife topped off their summery looks with headbands featuring fluffy bunny ears.

    In the next snap, the whole gang — minus Romeo, 21, who wasn’t present — smiled as they posed together on deck, with the rest of the family, and what appeared to be a friend of Cruz’s, joining Victoria and David in sporting the same bunny ears.

    Other snaps in Victoria’s post included a shot of her posing with Nicola, who held her mother-in-law’s medical boot — which the fashion designer has been wearing since she broke her foot during an accident at the gym on Valentine’s Day — and sweet photos of David with some of their children.

    While Romeo didn’t attend the Easter family get-together, he did get a special shout-out from his mom in her Instagram caption.

    “Happy Easter!! We love and miss you @romeobeckham!! Kisses from the Beckhams and Peltz Beckhams @davidbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @nicolaannepeltzbeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven xx ,” Victoria wrote alongside her carousel of images.

    The final shot in the former soccer player’s carousel was a photo of Victoria as she sat at the rear of a boat at night, wearing fluffy bunny ears over a black cap.

    “Happy Easter from us all @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven ,” he wrote in his post’s caption.

    Prince Harry’s Downfall: How Meghan Markle’s Moves Blocked His Path to Success


    Megan Markle Entering US Politics: The Ultimate Quest for True Power

    Imagine Meghan Markle stepping away from Hollywood and royalty to dive into the world of politics—it sounds like the plot of a Netflix drama, doesn’t it? Some speculate that she might even have her eyes set on the US Presidency.

    But what would be the first step for Meghan to become a political leader? What would this mean for her family and reputation?When Meghan and Prince Harry stepped away from the royal family in 2020, everyone was eager to know what their next move would be. They relocated to California, prompting questions about their true intentions. Was it freedom they sought, or was there something more behind their decision?

     

    Many believe that Meghan’s ambition has always been to gain real power, and columnist Daniela Elser suggests that American politics could be the path to that. But is the trade-off of giving up royal life worth the political challenges ahead?

    Politics in the US is notoriously difficult. It requires extensive fundraising, public scrutiny, and relentless media attention. For Meghan, who has often expressed her disdain for invasive media, this would mean even more spotlight. Her home in Montecito offers a rare refuge from public attention, but politics would disrupt that privacy. And giving up royal titles would likely be necessary for a political career—would Meghan be willing to relinquish the privileges of her royal life?

    Balancing a political career with motherhood and marriage is no easy feat, yet Meghan has shown she’s not afraid to take risks. This potential leap into politics could very well be her biggest one yet. But with ambition comes sacrifice—can Meghan handle the toll it would take on her personal life and family?

    Why would someone with wealth and fame choose to enter the world of politics? For Meghan, it seems to be about leaving a lasting legacy. Politics offers a chance to influence more people and create real change. She has long advocated for social issues, and her outspoken stance on topics like abortion has already sparked political speculation. Meghan’s voice could be a powerful force in politics—but will voters take her seriously, or just see her as another celebrity?

    Picture this: A modern political campaign led by Meghan Markle. She could attract young voters with messages of inclusivity and empowerment. Her celebrity connections, including allies like Oprah and Tyler Perry, could help raise funds. Meghan could challenge the norms of traditional politics and redefine what it means to be a public servant. But will this vision resonate with American voters? Only time will tell.

    For Meghan, entering politics is more than just a career move—it’s about leaving a lasting legacy. Her potential influence could shape important conversations and make a significant impact on the world stage. But with great power comes great responsibility, and the risks are high. Will Meghan’s political journey inspire a new generation of leaders, or will it be viewed as yet another controversial chapter in her life?

    Speculation about Meghan Markle’s political ambitions is everywhere. Love her or hate her, one thing’s for sure—she grabs attention. Whether she runs for office or not, her journey is captivating. So, what do you think? Do you believe Meghan could succeed in American politics? Would you support her if she ran? Share your thoughts as we continue to unravel this story together. One thing is clear: Meghan Markle’s quest for power is far from over, and history has shown that the most unexpected stories often leave the biggest impact.

    Meghan’s potential leap into politics isn’t just about headlines—it’s an opportunity to redefine leadership and influence. As a disruptor, Meghan could revolutionize public service in the modern era. For decades, politicians have built personas to appeal to voters, but Meghan is unapologetically herself. Her journey from actress to royal to potential politician is marked by resilience, and this could resonate with voters seeking a more relatable leader.

    As a biracial woman, Meghan’s entry into politics could inspire future generations and bring underrepresented voices into leadership. Her advocacy is always personal, focusing on real-world impacts. A campaign driven by these principles could bring empathetic governance to the forefront of American politics.

    The speculation about Meghan’s political ambitions reflects a cultural shift in how we view power and leadership. It’s not just about wealth and titles anymore—today, influence, impact, and the ability to inspire change are at the forefront. Meghan has proven that she can command attention and drive meaningful conversations, and her ongoing narrative continues to fascinate the public.

  • Mike Tindall Takes Charge: Prince Harry Replaced in Invictus Games and Banishment of Harry & Meghan Markle

    Mike Tindall Takes Charge: Prince Harry Replaced in Invictus Games and Banishment of Harry & Meghan Markle

    Now, in a significant move, the new Invictus Games Patron, Mike Tindall, has made a bold decision: he’s barred Harry from participating in the 2024 competition in Germany. This move has put the Prince in his place, and let’s unpack this moment that’s sure to stir some emotions.

    According to Tindall, this decision wasn’t made lightly. He explained that allowing Harry to attend would risk overshadowing the incredible achievements of the athletes. Tindall, a former rugby player, diplomatically expressed that Harry’s presence could be distracting, emphasizing his commitment to the Invictus Community.

    Tindall didn’t mince words, suggesting that Harry’s personal issues and public feuds could undermine the event’s purpose. By sidelining Harry, Tindall aims to ensure that the Invictus Games remain focused on honoring military veterans’ resilience and sacrifice, qualities that Harry’s recent actions seem to lack.

    The decision has sparked controversy, with Harry’s camp expressing disappointment. His spokesperson highlighted Harry’s connection to the Invictus Community, suggesting the Games provide vital support for wounded veterans. However, critics argue that Harry’s presence could turn the event into a media spectacle rather than a tribute to military service.

    Tindall’s decision, supported by his role as a respected member of the royal family, underscores the event’s integrity. It’s seen as a necessary step to preserve the Games’ original vision amidst growing concerns about Harry’s public persona overshadowing their purpose.

    ‘Using Mummy Once Again’: Prince Harry ‘Wants Peace’ With Royals for the Sake of Princess Diana’s Memory

    Prince Harry has reportedly become estranged from his royal family, and reportedly “wants peace” for the sake of Diana, Princess of Wales’ memory.

    “I’d come to those gardens because I wanted peace. I wanted it more than anything. I wanted it for my family’s sake, and for my own — but also for hers [Diana],” the Duke wrote in his “explosive” 2023 memoir, Spare

    “I knew how desperately she would want — no, did want — peace between her boys, and between us two and Pa,” Harry confessed in the bestselling tome.

    Diana, Princess of Wales, passed away in a car crash in the late summer of 1997 while driving through a tunnel in Paris, France, with her romantic partner, Dodi Fayed, drunk driver Henri Paul, and bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones.Flowers outside Kensington Palace a few days after Diana, Princess of Wales' death on August 31, 1997.MEGACharles, 9th Earl Spencer, has been accused of siding with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in their feud with the royal family.MEGAIt is unknown if Prince Harry will ever reconcile with his family. MEGARees-Jones was the only survivor of the wreck and, to this day, has no memory of the impact and immediate aftermath.
    The fifth in line to the British throne revealed that he was all alone with his grief after his mother died when he was only 12. “The biggest struggle for me was no one around me really could help. I didn’t have that support structure, that network, or that expert advice to identify what was actually going on with me,” the Duke of Sussex stated in his 2023 Netflix documentary, Heart of Invictus.

    “Losing my mum at such a young age, the trauma I had I was never aware of,” Harry continued. “It was never discussed, and I didn’t really talk about it, and I suppressed it like most other youngsters would have done. When it all came fizzing out, I was bouncing off the walls — what is going on here? — I am now feeling everything instead of being young.”

    The young prince and his 15-year-old brother, Prince William, were vacationing with the royals at Balmoral Castle when the news broke of the princess’ passing. Charles broke the devastating announcement to both princes’ whom he awoke in the early hours of the morning.

    In his memoir, Harry wrote about how he has undergone “decades of effort to reconstruct that morning” before adding, “what I do remember with stunning clarity is that I did not cry. Not a tear. My father did not hug me.” This counters what one royal insider claimed was the ex-working royals’ way of “using Mummy once again.”

    This insight by the prince follows his May 8 trip to Britain in which he met up with his mother’s side of the extended family for an Invictus games ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral.

    Diana’s memory is preserved by her siblings, including Charles, Earl Spencer, who reportedly “sided” recently with Harry and Meghan Markle in their ongoing rift with the royals.

    “The fact that the Spencers were out in force for Harry on this visit speaks volumes about where their loyalties lie,” royal author Tom Quinn shared about Harry’s mother’s family’s appearance with him at the event. “Like Harry, the Spencers still view the royal family, to some extent, as the adversary.”

  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry STRUGGLE to manage sprawling £12m, 9-bed, 16-bath, 15 full-time-staffing mansion

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry STRUGGLE to manage sprawling £12m, 9-bed, 16-bath, 15 full-time-staffing mansion

    After stepping back from their royal duties in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a grand investment: a sprawling nine-bedroom dream home in California. This luxurious mansion boasts every amenity imaginable, including a library, office, spa, gym, game room, wine cellar, and a remarkable 16 bathrooms!

    Their nine-bedroom mansion requires a lot of upkeep, according to a real estate professional

    Situated on 5.4 acres of land, the Sussexes’ estate is a haven for their family. Alongside six-year-old Prince Archie and three-year-old Princess Lilibet, they enjoy stunning gardens, a tennis court, a charming tea house, a children’s cottage, a pool, and a spacious five-car garage. However, maintaining this opulent lifestyle requires substantial effort and comes with a hefty price tag.

    We had a sneak peek inside their office during their Harry & Meghan documentary

    Eric Bramlett, a realtor and owner of luxury real estate company Bramlett Residential, sheds light on the financial and physical demands of managing a mansion like Harry and Meghan’s. Speaking to Fabulous, he explains, “Running a $14 million (£12 million) mansion in Montecito takes a lot of work.”

    The Sussexes’ home entails high operating costs, including salaries for 10-15 full-time staff members—housekeepers, a house manager, private chefs, groundsmen, and security personnel. Additionally, they must cover utilities, landscaping, maintenance, and security expenses, which can easily reach hundreds of thousands annually, excluding major renovations and repairs.

    The family often make the most of their large garden, and Prince Harry previously took Archie on a slip n slide

    Despite these costs, the Sussexes need not worry about their finances. Reports indicate that their combined net worth stands at £48 million. Since relocating to the US, they’ve secured lucrative deals with Netflix, publisher Penguin Random House, and Spotify. Before joining the Royal Family, Meghan was already worth an estimated £3.5 million, thanks to her role as Rachel Zane in the hit legal drama series Suits, where she earned an impressive £37,000 per episode.

    Prince Harry also enjoys financial stability. In 1994, The Queen Mother established a trust fund of £19 million for her great-grandchildren, including Harry and William. The brothers split £6 million from the trust when they turned 21, with Harry receiving a larger share as compensation for not becoming sovereign. Furthermore, Harry will gain access to more of the trust fund on his 40th birthday, thanks to the late Princess Diana’s legacy.

  • Meghan Markle in Crisis: Samantha Markle’s Shocking Surrogacy Claims About Lilibet

    Meghan Markle in Crisis: Samantha Markle’s Shocking Surrogacy Claims About Lilibet

    Meghan Markle has found herself amidst a storm of rumors and accusations, particularly concerning the births of her children, Archie and Lilibet. Speculation about surrogacy began swirling almost immediately after Meghan’s first pregnancy announcement. Observers pointed to pregnancies that seemed effortless, with no visible weight gain or morning sickness, as evidence supporting the surrogate theory. Inconsistencies in public appearances and social media posts further fueled these rumors, suggesting Meghan might not have been carrying the child herself.

    Meghan Markle in Crisis: Samantha Markle's Shocking Surrogacy Claims About LilibetAdding to the controversy, Meghan’s own family members raised doubts about her ability to conceive naturally, citing alleged past medical history. Her father, brother, and sister have all claimed Meghan underwent a hysterectomy at a young age, implying she couldn’t have biologically borne children. Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, has been particularly outspoken, accusing Meghan of fabricating details about her upbringing. In an interview with Oprah, Samantha claimed Meghan’s actions had brought her global humiliation and hatred. She even floated a bizarre conspiracy theory questioning the existence of Archie and Lilibet during a radio interview.

    The mystery surrounding Lilibet’s birth deepened when Dr. Melissa Drake, the alleged delivering doctor, suddenly closed her practice in Santa Barbara, citing health reasons and a desire to spend more time with family. However, former patients criticized the abrupt closure, questioning the lack of transparency and wondering why temporary arrangements weren’t made. Speculation mounted about whether there was more to Dr. Drake’s departure than initially disclosed.

    The birth certificate itself has become contentious, with questions arising about how Dr. Drake’s name became public knowledge, which wasn’t revealed at the time of Lilibet’s birth. Moreover, the use of a foreign title on the birth certificate raised eyebrows, as it reportedly violates California regulations. Similar incidents involving celebrity couples attempting to use unconventional characters on birth certificates, like Grimes and Elon Musk, have drawn comparisons.

    These inconsistencies and controversies have led many to question the legitimacy of Lilibet’s birth and speculate about potential irregularities in issuing the birth certificates. Amidst these swirling rumors, it’s crucial to approach these claims critically and rely on credible sources of information.

    Rupert Murdoch Furious: Meghan Markle Ejected from His Wedding with Elena for Attending Uninvited

    In a startling turn of events at Rupert Murdoch’s wedding with Elena Jaava on June 5th, 2024, what was supposed to be a joyous occasion quickly spiraled into chaos and drama when Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, unexpectedly appeared uninvited, attempting to crash the ceremony.

    Eyewitnesses recounted scenes of pandemonium as Meghan strode into the exclusive chapel where the nuptials were underway. Video footage captured a visibly enraged Murdoch rising from his seat, his face flushed with anger, and marching towards Meghan, shouting, “Get out of here at once! You’re not welcome!” His voice cut through the stunned gasps of the high-society guests present.

    Reports indicated Meghan, 42, looked taken aback by Murdoch’s furious reaction but stood her ground, arguing loudly that as a member of the British royal family, she had every right to attend. This only seemed to further enrage Murdoch, 93, who then attempted to physically remove her from the church, grabbing her arm amidst a scuffle that ensued with Meghan’s security team rushing to intervene.

    The confrontation caused pandemonium among the guests, with security personnel scrambling to restore order. It took several tense minutes before calm was restored, and a visibly shaken Meghan was escorted off the premises.

    The motive behind Meghan’s uninvited appearance remains unclear. Speculation suggests lingering resentment towards Murdoch’s media empire, which has been critical of her and Prince Harry. Others speculate she may have sought attention at a high-profile event. Regardless, Meghan’s disruptive actions drew widespread condemnation.

    A spokesperson for Murdoch denounced the incident as an unacceptable privacy violation and disrespect for the sanctity of their wedding celebration. Legal action against Meghan and her security team was being considered.

    Despite the disturbance, Murdoch, 93, and Jaava, 39, managed to exchange vows in a subdued ceremony attended by close friends and family. Mrs. Murdoch was seen comforting her visibly shaken husband afterward.

    This incident adds to Meghan’s history of controversy since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. Her activism and public statements continue to polarize public opinion. Meghan’s uninvited presence at Murdoch’s wedding is expected to fuel further debate and speculation about her actions and potential legal consequences in the aftermath of this dramatic event.
