Prince Harry has revealed a cringe-worthy moment with Meghan Markle and King Charles, which occurred after the couple started dating.

In his bombshell memoir ‘Spare’, Harry describes how he introduced Meghan to his father, who is set to celebrate his 76th birthday this Thursday, as well as to Queen Camilla during a visit to Clarence House. He recalls that conversation among them flowed “easily” at first.

Charles appeared genuinely intrigued by Meghan’s ascent to fame through her role in the TV series ‘Suits’, engaging in a “quiet chat” with her, while Camilla seemed more interested in listening in than chatting with her stepson. Despite the smooth interaction between his then-girlfriend and his father, Harry recounts an awkward instance when the now King and Queen Consort had to leave for another appointment.

In ‘Spare’, Harry writes: “We talked about acting and the arts in general.” He continues, “What a struggle it could be to make your way in such a trade, Pa said. He had a lot of questions about Meg’s career and he looked impressed by the way she answered. Her confidence, her intelligence, I thought, caught him unawares,” reports the Express.

As the meeting came to an end due to Charles and Camilla’s tight schedule, Harry notes, “I made a note to explain all this later to Meg. We all stood. Meg leaned towards Pa. I flinched; like Willy, Pa wasn’t a hugger. Thankfully, she gave him a standard British cheek-to-cheek, which he actually seemed to enjoy.”

Despite the Royal Family not being known for their open displays of affection, the King has been seen partaking in heartwarming hugs now and then. He recently expressed that receiving an embrace from the New Zealand women’s rugby team was something he “really needed”.

The moment left fans emotional, with the King humorously commenting that he felt “flattened” after Black Ferns star Ayesha Leti-I’iga, along with her teammates, gave him a group hug at Buckingham Palace on September 11. Elsewhere, a picture was released by Kensington Palace featuring Prince William in a warm embrace with his father back in 2020.Captured by the Princess of Wales at Sandringham Estate, it depicts Prince William holding the King close, with his arm firmly around his shoulders.

Liam Payne’s phone could be key to solving mystery around his tragic balcony fall death – as cops hunt drug dealer

Police in Argentina believe the circumstances around the former One Direction star’s death are suspicious and possibly involved drugs.

It is understood cops are hunting for a drug dealer who could have supplied illegal substances

Liam’s phone, which was removed from his hotel room, will be key to determining who may have supplied any drugs.

His phone could also reveal what happened to the 31-year-old before he fell to his death in Buenos Aires on Wednesday.

Police say there is no sign of a third party being involved in dad-of-one Liam’s death.

Cops discovered “what appeared to be narcotics, alcohol, destroyed objects and furniture” in his room at the Hotel CasaSur in Palermo.

Photos published by Argentine media showed white powder, burnt aluminium foil and a smashed TV screen inside his room.

Forensic teams reported that a whiskey bottle, lighter and mobile phone were retrieved from the building’s internal courtyard where Liam’s body was found.

But cops are yet to confirm what the substances found in the room are and are due to run tests on them shortly.

The singer had been open about his battles with addiction in the past.

A final 911 call from hotel staff on Wednesday revealed they needed “urgent assistance” from cops to help with a guest “behaving erratically”.

Argentinian police said staff reported an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol”.

Recordings from the 911 calls made by the head of reception show them reporting “a guest who is destroying everything in his room”.

In a second appeal for help the receptionist said: “We need you to send someone urgently because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger.

“They must be in a room that has a balcony. And well, we’re a little bit worried he’ll do something, that he’ll put his life at risk.”

Liam – who was in Buenos Aires for a holiday after going to see pal Niall Horan’s tour – was found dead in the hotel’s inner courtyard at around 5pm local time (9pm UK time).

His death was confirmed as soon as ambulance crews arrived.

Officials have said “everything indicates” that he was alone when he died and could have been partly or fully unconscious when he fell.

A full toxicology report is still pending and could take weeks to become public.

The prosecutor said that the autopsy showed internal bleeding and 25 traumatic injuries to his skull, limbs and abdomen, consistent with a fall.

One Direction statements in full

We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. 

But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.

The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us.

We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam. – Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry.

Louis Tomlinson wrote: “His experience from a young age, his perfect pitch, his stage presence, his gift for writing. The list goes on.

“Thank you for shaping us Liam.

“I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was.

“I wish I got a chance to say goodbye and tell you one more time how much I loved you.”

Zayn Malik said: “Liam I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can’t help but think selfishly that there was so many more conversations for us to have in our lives.

“I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life.

“When I was missing home as a 17-year-old kid, you would always be there with a positive outlook and reassuring smile and let me know you were my friend and that I was loved.”

He added: “When it came to the music, Liam, you were the most qualified in every sense.

“I knew nothing in comparison, I was a novice child with no experience and you were already a professional.

“I lost a brother when you left us and can’t explain to you what I’d give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly.

“I will cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart forever”.

And Harry Styles wrote: “I am truly devastated by Liam’s passing.

“His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it.

“Liam lived wide open, with his heart on his sleeve, he had an energy for life that was infectious.

“He was warm, supportive, and incredibly loving.

“The years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life. I will miss him always, my lovely friend.

“My heart breaks for Karen, Geoff, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who knew and loved him, as I did.”

It said those injuries alone were enough to cause his death.

A lack of defensive injuries on his hands indicated that he may have fallen into a state of unconsciousness, the public prosecutor said.

Last night, his former One Direction bandmates shared an emotional joint tribute.

Liam shot to fame alongside Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik as part of One Direction after auditioning for X Factor in 2010 aged just 14.

They became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time before going their separate ways in 2016.

 

A statement from the band read: “We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say.

“But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.

 

“The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us.

“We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam. – Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry.”

Camila Cabello described his death as a “tragedy” and said he “made an impression” on her when she was a young girl.

The first images of Liam Payne’s “c0rpse” arriving in the UK left fans heartbroken because they could barely recognize the shape of the singer.

Liam Payne’s body has officially left Argentina, nearly three weeks after his tragic death, marking a somber and significant moment for his family, friends, and fans around the world. The former One Direction star, who passed away suddenly under mysterious circumstances while visiting the country, had

been in Argentina for an undisclosed personal matter before his untimely passing. The prolonged wait for his body to be transported back to the United Kingdom has left many questioning the reasons for the delay, with some speculating about the legal and logistical challenges involved in repatriating a deceased person from abroad.

In the wake of Payne’s death, authorities in Argentina launched an investigation into the cause of his passing. While no official reports have yet provided conclusive details about what led to his sudden demise, it is clear that the tragic event has rocked his close-knit circle of family and friends. Payne, who was widely adored by his fans, had been in the spotlight for much of his life, and his death has left a void not only in the music industry but also in the hearts of those who knew him personally. The delay in bringing his body back to the UK has only added to the emotional weight of the situation, as his loved ones have had to endure a prolonged period of uncertainty and grief.

Reports indicate that Payne’s family, including his parents and siblings, had been in constant contact with officials to ensure that his remains could be returned home as quickly as possible. However, the process of repatriation, especially under the circumstances of a death under investigation, often requires extensive legal procedures and documentation, which can cause delays. These bureaucratic hurdles have added to the emotional strain on Payne’s family, who have been left to cope with the shock of his passing while also navigating the complex logistics of bringing his body back to the UK.

The news of Payne’s body finally leaving Argentina was met with a mixture of sorrow and relief by those close to him. While the pain of losing the young musician remains fresh, the return of his body to his home country allows for the family to begin the grieving process in a more familiar and supportive environment. Payne’s family, along with his former bandmates from One Direction, have yet to make any public statements regarding the cause of death or their personal feelings on the matter, although many have expressed their heartbreak over the loss. His untimely death has left a lasting impact on those who worked with him and those who grew up listening to his music.

The One Direction fandom, which has been dedicated to Payne and his former bandmates for over a decade, has also been deeply affected by the news. Fans around the world have expressed their shock and sorrow on social media, with many sharing memories of Payne’s contributions to the music industry and his role in the success of One Direction. Despite the band’s break-up years ago, the bond between Payne and his fans remained strong, and the news of his death has united people across the globe in their grief.

 

As investigations into Payne’s death continue, questions still linger about the circumstances surrounding the event. However, for now, the priority remains for his family to honor his memory and find peace in the difficult days ahead. With his body finally on its way home, the family can begin to make arrangements for a proper memorial and private services, as they take the time to mourn and remember a beloved son, brother, and friend.

In the wake of this tragedy, many are left reflecting on the fleeting nature of life and the loss of someone so young and full of promise. Liam Payne’s death has not only affected those closest to him but also the millions of fans who grew up watching his rise to fame and cheered him on throughout his career. Though his physical presence may no longer be with us, his music and legacy will continue to live on, keeping his spirit alive in the hearts of those who loved him.

Meghan Markle’s Hollywood circle is crumbling, leaving her desperately trying to hold onto her last few connections.

Meghan Markle’s Hollywood Circle have Crumbled and Fell Apart, and She’s now using her Royal Family Connections to get into Hollywood, And the Royal is who she swore never to relate to because of previous…

Can she salvage the Sussex brand before it falls apart?

Meghan Markle is reportedly worried about her diminishing circle of friends in Hollywood and is eager to keep good relations with one particular star, according to a source.

It’s believed that Meghan and Prince Harry have already strained their relationship with another famous couple, David and Victoria Beckham, after allegedly accusing them of leaking stories to the media.

Despite this, Meghan is reportedly eager to stay close to Beyoncé, who has previously expressed support for her.

A source told Heat Magazine: “With most of her famous friends distancing themselves from her and Harry, Meghan is understandably concerned that their Hollywood connections are falling apart.

Beyoncé is the most high-profile star who still associates with her, and Meghan feels she needs Beyoncé’s support to help maintain the Sussex brand.”

The insider also mentioned that Meghan is making significant efforts to befriend Beyoncé’s younger sister, Solange.

Queen Camilla’s birthday called for a special celebration.

King Charles’ wife turned 77 on July 17, and Westminster Abbey commemorated the special occasion by ringing its bells. This grand gesture added a touch of royal splendor to the day, making it memorable not just for Queen Camilla, but for all who hold the royal family dear.

“The Abbey bells are ringing out to celebrate the birthday of HM The Queen,” the London landmark captioned a video of the musical tribute on X, adding the hashtag “#HappyBirthdayYourMajesty.”

The bells of Westminster Abbey, where Kate Middleton and Prince William wed in 2011 and the royal family hold important services including the funeral of Queen Elizabeth in 2022, only chime for a few royal birthdays each year.

Before 2020, the bells sounded for 12 royal birthdays. Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, then-Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward all received the honor, as did Camilla, Kate Middleton and Prince William.

The youngest on the list were William and Kate’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who follow their father in the line of succession to the throne.

The tradition shifted amid financial issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the number of royals honored with the birthday bells was significantly scaled back. The 2022 Westminster Abbey bell-ringing schedule only marked the birthdays of Queen Elizabeth and the future King Charles, and things changed again following the death of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022. After Queen Elizabeth died, Westminster Abbey announced that the bells would ring for the birthdays of King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as Prince William and Princess Kate, the new heir to the throne and his wife.

King Charles, 75, is uniquely honored with birthday bells twice a year. The abbey sounds on his actual birthday, Nov. 14, as well as on the day of Trooping the Colour, which is the British Army’s parade for his official birthday as monarch, traditionally held in June.

Westminster Abbey most recently rang out for Prince William’s 42nd birthday on June 21.

Queen Camilla’s birthday bells coincided with the State Opening of Parliament in London the same day, which was noted on the church’s bell-ringing calendar. It was a bustling day for Queen Camilla, beginning her birthday alongside King Charles at this significant event. The select birthdays aren’t the only royal reason that the bells chime. They will next sound on Sept. 8, which marks the second anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death and the King’s accession.

Elsewhere in London, Queen Camilla’s birthday and the State Opening of Parliament were marked with two consecutive gun salutes at the Tower of London by the Honourable Artillery Company. The gun salutes organized by Royal Parks honor more royal-related occasions than the bells of Westminster Abbey. They were fired throughout the city for the anniversary of King Charles’ coronation, Trooping the Colour, the King’s accession day, Remembrance Sunday, state visits to London from foreign heads of state, as well as King Charles and Queen Camilla’s birthdays in November and July.

In the midst of these grand celebrations, a rather sensational rumor began to swirl. According to insider sources, Queen Camilla allegedly demanded Prince Andrew’s property, worth a staggering £50,000,000, as a birthday gift from King Charles after repairs and renovations had been completed on the estate. The rumor suggested that Queen Camilla felt entitled to this grand gift, allegedly declaring, “I deserve more than this and I need to be celebrated because…”

Such claims inevitably stirred the pot, captivating the public’s imagination and fueling countless discussions about royal family dynamics and entitlement. But as the rumor mill churned, it eventually became clear that these reports were nothing more than imaginative gossip. Queen Camilla did not make such a demand, and the lavish celebrations of her 77th birthday remained a dignified affair marked by tradition and royal pageantry. The truth behind the sensational headline was simply a reminder of the intrigue and fascination that always surround the lives of the British royal family.

The royal family drama continues as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle find themselves in yet another tumultuous situation.

This time, it involves Kate Middleton, whose recent public appearance has seemingly overshadowed the efforts of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The unexpected turn of events has left Meghan and Harry grappling with a public relations setback, even as they strive to deliver quality work and maintain their public image.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have often found themselves at the center of public and media scrutiny. Despite their efforts to carve out their own path and contribute meaningfully through initiatives like the Invictus Games, the couple faces constant backlash for their past controversial statements and actions.

This predicament has been described by royal commentators as a “lose-lose” situation for the Sussexes.

Recently, Prince Harry received severe backlash for accepting the Pat Tillman Award for Service. Critics labeled him “privileged” and “undeserving,” despite his significant contributions to the veteran community through the Invictus Games. GB News’ Digital Royal Editor, Svar Nanan-Sen, reported that sources close to Harry revealed he was stunned by the negative reaction to his nomination.

Royal commentator Cameron Walker echoed these sentiments, stating, “It’s a lose-lose situation for Harry at this point.

He’s created a lot of enemies or non-fans because of what’s happened over the last four years. Whatever he does, no matter how good he is doing with the Invictus Games or whatever prestigious awards he’s winning, there’s always going to be people at the moment who are going to chastise him for that and get very angry about that.”

In an effort to reclaim some positive attention, Meghan Markle has been busy working on a new project for Netflix. The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly wrapped up filming for her upcoming cooking show, which promises to cover topics ranging from cooking and gardening to entertaining and friendship.

According to an insider, Meghan was “totally in her element” while filming, demonstrating her skills in the kitchen and sharing tips on how to be the perfect hostess.

The timing of this project is particularly noteworthy. Meghan’s upcoming show coincides with Kate Middleton’s recent headline-making appearance at the 2024 Wimbledon men’s singles final. Kate’s appearance has drawn significant media attention, largely overshadowing Meghan’s new venture.

Kate Middleton’s appearance at Wimbledon was nothing short of shocking. Despite battling cancer and undergoing preventative chemotherapy, the Duchess of Cambridge made a stunning public return. Her resilience and grace in the face of adversity have captivated the public, further solidifying her status as a beloved royal figure.

As reported by Life & Style, Meghan has been trying to seize the spotlight while Kate is away from the public eye. However, Kate’s recent appearance at Wimbledon has once again placed her in the limelight, making it difficult for Meghan to break through with her own news.

The public’s reaction to these developments has been mixed. On one hand, Meghan’s efforts to engage with her audience through her new show are commendable. On the other hand, Kate’s courageous public appearance amidst her health struggles has drawn widespread admiration and sympathy, making it challenging for Meghan to shift the focus back to her projects.

The ongoing saga of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the rest of the royal family continues to captivate the world. As the Sussexes strive to navigate their public image and contribute positively to society, they face an uphill battle against relentless scrutiny and comparison to their royal counterparts.

Kate Middleton’s recent appearance has undoubtedly overshadowed Meghan’s latest endeavors, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain determined to make their mark. As they push forward with their respective projects, only time will tell how the public will perceive and react to their efforts in the ever-evolving landscape of royal dynamics.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s little princess, Lilibet, is celebrating her third birthday! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex marked this special milestone with an early pre-birthday bash over the weekend, held at their home in Montecito, California.

People reported the intimate celebration included close friends, family, and some of Lilibet’s young pals.

Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born in California after Prince Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties and relocated to the U.S. with their son, Prince Archie, now 5, in 2020.

The birth announcement, shared on the Archewell Foundation website, revealed that Lilibet was named after Queen Elizabeth’s family nickname, while her middle name honors her beloved late grandmother, Princess Diana.

Affectionately called “Lili” by her parents, Prince Harry and Meghan have continued to use this endearing nickname for their daughter.

In March 2023, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex began using their children’s royal titles in public, starting with the announcement of Lilibet’s christening.

Following King Charles’s ascension to the throne in September 2022, Archie and Lilibet were officially given the titles of prince and princess. Their new titles were promptly updated on the royal family’s official website and reflected in their parents’ biographies on sussex.com, launched in February.

In keeping with royal tradition, Harry and Meghan have adopted “Sussex” as the family surname for their children. This practice mirrors the historical use of titles by members of the royal family.

Last June, the family traveled to the U.K. for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee festivities, coinciding with Lilibet’s first birthday. The Sussexes celebrated with a gathering at Frogmore Cottage, their U.K. residence until last year.

During the birthday party, a spokesperson described the event as a “casual, intimate backyard picnic.”

The couple released the first portrait of Lili, taken by photographer and friend Misan Harriman. The adorable photo showed Lilibet smiling in a blue dress with a white bow in her red hair, a charming feature she shares with her brother Archie and dad Harry.

Fans got a further glimpse of the celebration in the docuseries Harry & Meghan, which premiered on Netflix in December 2022. Since stepping back from their royal roles, Harry and Meghan have kept their children’s lives relatively private. The world first saw Lilibet in the Sussexes’ 2021 holiday card, which joyfully announced, “This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa,’ and Lili made us a family.”

Harry and Meghan have shared sweet details about Lilibet over the years, from her “very chilled” nature to her determination to “keep up” with her big brother. Archie turned 5 on May 6, and the Sussexes celebrated his birthday privately before embarking on an official trip to Nigeria. This journey marked their first international trip since stepping back from royal duties.

Though Archie and Lili didn’t join the tour, they were very much on their parents’ minds. While visiting a school in Abuja, Meghan revealed that “singing and dancing” is Lili’s “favorite class,” likely due to “all the jumping around.”

She also shared that Archie has a keen interest in construction, as shown by the children’s robotic projects in a STEM class.

At a women’s leadership event on May 11, Meghan described her kids as “very chatty, sweet children” and expressed how much she was “missing my babies” on May 12, Mother’s Day in the U.S.

In his memoir, Spare, released in January 2023, Prince Harry recounted the moment he helped bring Lilibet into the world. He wrote: “I slid my hands under the tiny back and neck. Gently, but firmly, as I’d seen in films, I pulled our precious daughter from that world into this, and cradled her just a moment, trying to smile at her, to see her, but honestly, I couldn’t see anything. I wanted to say: Hello. I wanted to say: Where have you come from? I wanted to say: Is it better there? Is it peaceful? Are you frightened? Don’t be, don’t be, all will be well. I’ll keep you safe.”

A “furious” Meghan Markle reportedly wants to confront King Charles over his latest Highgrove launch seemingly overshadowing the Duchess’s own preserves, but Prince Harry is holding her back from a grizzly confrontation.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was earlier this year ridiculed as “pretentious” for soft launching a line of strawberry jams as the first product in her new lifestyle brand American Riveria Orchard.

A source on Friday told New Idea her jam jars hand-numbered one through 50 have been overshadowed by the King’s latest product – organic Highgrove Royal Estate Honey.

The source said “as far as Meghan is concerned” it is “no coincidence” Charles’ authorisation for the release of his $50 honey coincided with the launch of her jam, and she is “furious” about it.

“She is trying to establish herself as a lifestyle mogul, but now she’s competing with a royal rival,” they said.

The source said the Duchess is “convinced” Charles also recently launched Highgrove Splash, a new men’s cologne, in a “deliberate attempt to curb her success” with a double offering.

“She had no idea [about this] and now suddenly, as she sees it, there’s a glut of his products on the market.

“She’s one step away from calling Charles about the clash but Prince Harry is holding her back.”

Meghan reportedly has long-term plans to rival her father-in-law’s successful brand and develop her own men’s grooming range.

According to trademark filings, she has also earmarked plans to sell a range of products include homewares, cooking utensils, make up and even pet food under her new brand.

Sky News presenter Gabriella Power on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Meghan, saying Charles’ product launches were not “actually about” her but “why not take it as an excuse to make it” so.

“Power to her for trying to get a brand up and running that isn’t about making money for rubbishing the royal family.”

It comes as the King has long sold organic food industry since he created Duchy Originals 34 years ago in 1990,

And Meghan’s social media campaign in March allegedly boosted the sales of the monarch’s long standing products by accident.

In a major business blunder, the mother of two sent 50 of her jars to influencers and socialites in her celebrity studded circle including Fashion Designer Tracy Robbins, which deviated “great business” to the King’s venture.

Royal commentator Richard Eden said Meghan’s “publicity stunt” “encouraged royalists to purchase the King’s jam instead” and they all sold out.

“So many of them have done so that Highgrove Organic Strawberry Preserve was ‘sold out’, according to the retailer’s website yesterday, even though 340g jars cost £6.95 each,” he said.

According to royal insider Tom Quinn, Meghan “was in tears when the brand launched and her new jam was widely mocked for being expensive and nothing special.”

He said she “cannot understand” the public backlash from her ventures including tell-all interviews with Oprah Winfrey and a Netflix series

“(Meghan) cannot understand why people don’t admire her work,” he told the Mirror newspaper.

“She still seems to be finding the backlash hard as she reportedly feels constantly criticised and as if she is ‘unfairly’ picked on.”

The Duchess of Sussex has an approval rating of about 31 per cent among the British public, while Harry’s approval is currently even lower at just 23 per cent.

The Royal family has been suggested to keep their distance from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The royal family has been advised to “sever all ties” with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to prevent more scandals. Since leaving the royal life in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been all but cut off from the company.

Thereafter, they have used rich, well-known ventures to launch many attacks on Harry’s estranged family. This comes shortly after reports which claim that Prince William has enforced a ‘ban’ on his estranged brother, Prince Harry, from returning to the Royal fold.

‘Prince William is the tough guy’
The royal commentator Dee Dee Dunleavy remarked that the royal family should stay away from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to avoid any chance of reconciliation and to strip the couple of all of their royal titles.

Dunleavy said, “There’s talk that William is the enforcer, the tough guy of the royal family. King Charles is a pushover, I think he’d take Harry back in a heartbeat.” She noticed that Prince William has taken over the role earlier played by Prince Phillip and he is the “tough guy”.

The royal commentator further added, “I can see William’s point of view as well, he’s more protective of the upset that Harry caused while the Queen was in her dying weeks. That’s probably why William has such a strong feeling toward Harry, but I just can’t see [Prince Harry rejoining the family] happening”. She also stated that contact with the Sussexes “devalues their currency.”

According to Dunleavy, if Prince Harry and Meghan are “not previous royals” and “cannot keep bringing up that fact” then all of Meghan’s “little money-making scheme” is obviously worthless.

‘Prince Charles misses his darling boy’
Royal expert Hilary Fordwich earlier claimed that Prince William has enforced an ‘absolute ban’ on the return of Prince Harry to the royal family in any shape or form. She also informed that ever since Prince Harry’s book, Spare, was published, the Prince of Wales has been unwilling to talk to his brother. However, she believes that one member of the royal family who will ease up would be King Charles and Prince William will not be in a position to challenge the crown.

She said that King Charles “misses his darling boy” and would “love to see more of Prince Harry”. She further explained the stern attitude that Prince William has exhibited regarding Prince Harry, “However, to this day, after the release of ‘Spare’ and the Netflix serial, as well as with everything else Harry has said, done, and not done, it’s Prince William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother.”

Meghan Markle has made various comments about the Princess of Wales through the years and today, Express.co.uk takes a look at every single one of them.

Meghan Markle’s relationship with her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, has long been the subject of speculation and discussion through the years, but it’s been clear the bond between the two women is not as strong as it once was.

The first reports of a rift between the Duchess of Sussex and the future Queen emerged in 2019, with some claiming that Meghan made Princess Kate cry before her wedding to Prince Harry the year before. But two years later the claim was disputed by the duchess who said it was the other way around.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s row with the Prince and Princess of Wales intensified after the couple’s infamous Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021, a year after their sensational exit from the Royal Family and peaked after their highly controversial docuseries on Netflix, Harry & Meghan, during which the estranged couple made a series of bombshell claims about William and Kate.

Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have never commented on Harry and Meghan’s claims, in line with the monarchy’s “never complain, never explain” approach.

Here, Express.co.uk takes a look at all the times Meghan Markle has made comments about the Princess of Wales.

 

2014 – The Tig
Meghan Markle’s earliest reference to the Princess of Wales was all the way back in 2014, just two years before she met future husband Prince Harry.

Writing on her now-defunct blog The Tig, Meghan spoke about interviewing Princess Alia Al-Senussi, who is a member of Libyan royalty and said: “Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power.”

She added: “Grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy. Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate.”

 

2017 – Engagement interview
The couple sat down with BBC journalist Mishal Husain in November 2017 after they announced their engagement and talked about Meghan’s introduction to the royal fold.

Harry said during the interview: “William was longing to meet her and so was Catherine.”

The duke added: “Catherine has been absolutely…” with Meghan finishing the sentence: “She’s been wonderful.”

Five years later, in 2022, in one episode of their Netflix docuseries Meghan said that the interview felt like an “orchestrated reality show”.

She said: “It was rehearsed. We did the thing out with the press, then we went right inside, took the coat off and did the interview. So it’s all in that same moment.”

The BBC and Ms Husain have hit back at Meghan’s claims, with the journalist saying at the time: “We know recollections may vary on this particular subject but my recollection is definitely very much, asked to do an interview, and do said interview.”

 

2018 – Royal Foundation Forum
Harry and Meghan joined William and Kate in March 2018, just two months before their wedding for an event discussing the work of the Royal Foundation – a charity William and Harry founded, which later included Kate and Meghan, before the Sussex couple left it after their royal departure in 2020.

At the time, Meghan spoke about what it was like working with the three royals.

She said: “Thank goodness it’s such differing personalities and that everyone’s very communicative because that’s how you can really see bigger change,” she said.

“If everyone’s thinking the same way, how are you going to push the envelope? You know, how are you really going to break through in a different sort of mindset?

“Changing mindsets and all of that is part of this communication that we have constantly. So, I think it’s part of the reason we’ve had so much success with Heads Together and whatever we end up working on moving forward.”

 

2021 – Oprah Winfrey interview
The Sussexes’ interview with US TV host Oprah Winfrey caused a media storm in March 2021, after the couple made a series of sensational claims about the royals as they talked about their split from the Firm and their life within it.

But one of the claims made by the duchess during the interview was about the bridesmaids’ row incident back in 2018, when reports at the time suggested Kate had made Meghan cry over Princess Charlotte’s dress for the wedding.

Meghan dismissed the claims and said the story happened the other way around – the future Queen had allegedly made her cry.

She said: “The narrative with Kate—which didn’t happen—was really, really difficult and…I think that’s when everything changed, really.”

The duchess added: “I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologised.

“And she brought me flowers and a note, apologising. And she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone, right, to just take accountability for it.”

She also said that she didn’t think it “fair to her to get into the details of that because she [Kate] apologised and I’ve forgiven her.”

Asked about whether photos of her and Kate at Wimbledon were true in representing how happy they were in real life, Meghan said: “I think everyone welcomed me…When you say, ‘Was it what it looked like?’ my understanding and my experience of the past four years is it’s nothing like what it looks like.”

The duchess also spoke about how the Palace was willing to protect Kate from negative stories in the media, whereas they were not willing to do the same for her.

She said: “I think so much of what I have seen play out is this idea of polarity, where if you love me, you don’t have to hate her. And if you love her, you don’t need to hate me.

“Kate was called ‘Waity Katie. While I imagine that was really hard, and I do, I can’t picture what that felt like, this is not the same. And if a member of this family will comfortably say ‘We’ve all had to deal with things that are rude,’ rude and racist are not the same.”

At the time, their claims sent shockwaves around the world, with Buckingham Palace making an exception and issuing a statement from the late Queen Elizabeth, which said: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.

“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.

“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much-loved family members.”

 

2022 – Netflix docuseries
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s next bombshell came one year later, when the couple released their controversial docuseries in which they talk about their relationship, their family life and departure from the Firm.

Meghan did not mention Kate for the majority of the series, however, she did speak about the culture shock she experienced when meeting the royals – namely William and Kate.

The duchess said: “It’s so funny if I look back at it now because now I know so much and I’m so glad I didn’t then. Because I could just authentically be myself without so much preparedness.

“Even when Will and Kate came over and I met her for the first time, they came over for dinner and I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot.

“It’s like I was a hugger, I’ve always been a hugger. I didn’t realise that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.”

She added: “I guess I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through to the inside…that there is a forward-facing way of being and then you close the door, and you go ‘Oh…ok we can relax now.’ But that formality carries over on both sides and that was surprising to me.”

 

2024 – Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis
The Sussex couple had stayed silent regarding any further comments on the Prince and Princess of Wales, however, they made an exception earlier this year, after Princess Kate announced her shock cancer diagnosis in March.

Harry and Meghan quickly released a statement following Kate’s announcement.

It read: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”
