King Charles Cuts Off Meghan Markle’s Royal Status After Shocking Confession About Archie Harrison 

Imagine this: you’re sipping your morning coffee, scrolling through the headlines when suddenly, a royal revelation makes you stop in your tracks. This isn’t just another story about who wore what at a gala; it’s a game-changer.

Samantha Markle, Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister, has dropped a bombshell. In a jaw-dropping interview, she claimed that Meghan may not be the biological mother of Archie Harrison, the world’s most famous royal child. And this shocking revelation has reportedly pushed King Charles to take dramatic action, cutting Meghan off from any remaining royal privileges.

This twist comes at a time when Meghan and Harry’s relationship with the royal family is already strained. If you thought the monarchy couldn’t handle more drama after “Megxit,” think again. This latest controversy is fueling the already blazing fire surrounding the Sussexes. But what exactly did Samantha reveal, and why has King Charles responded so decisively?

Samantha Markle’s revelation in her recent interview was nothing short of explosive. She claimed that Meghan Markle adopted Archie, suggesting that the popular narrative about Archie being Meghan and Harry’s biological son might not be the full story. The accusation suggests that Meghan’s portrayal of motherhood might be fabricated, which has pushed her feud with Samantha into new territory.

While Samantha is no stranger to controversy, this claim has shaken the foundation of the Sussexes’ royal narrative. Is this a bitter sibling rivalry, or is there some truth to her words? Her timing couldn’t have been more significant—especially considering Meghan and Harry’s already tense relationship with the royal family. But how does this impact Archie’s royal status?

Katie Price was snapped near the venue of her latest pantomime, walking arm-in-arm with boyfriend JJ Slater and showing off the results of the facial procedures she has endured in 2024

Katie Price has stepped out with boyfriend JJ Slater after undergoing her latest round of cosmetic surgery.

The 46-year-old mother-of-five has reportedly spent £10,000 on a facelift as she continues to turn to medical practices to attempt to fight off the effects of age. The star looked bruised earlier this year after she endured her latest facelift – the sixth procedure of its kind that she has undergone over the years.

On Friday, Katie and her 32-year-old former Married At First Sight star boyfriend looked stoic as they walked arm-in-arm in Northwich – where the OnlyFans content creator is set to appear in a pantomime production of Cinderella. With her hair tied up, Katie showed off her wrinkle-free face following her facelift in August – and weeks after she underwent another anti-wrinkle procedure.

The pair wore complementary tracksuit outfits from JJ’s fashion line, Fully Blessed, of which he holds the position of Director of Fashion. Katie sported an olive green tracksuit, while JJ opted for a simple black version. Katie had a handbag slung over her shoulder – while JJ clutched a handbag of his own under his arm.

They were spotted together hours after Katie was told off for her lack of professionalism in her panto rehearsals. The glamour model was reportedly caught vaping inside the venue as rehearsals got underway – and panto bosses are not happy with her behaviour. A source claimed: “Katie has been caught vaping inside the venue on a number of occasions already. She has been told not to, but doesn’t seem to be listening.”

Meanwhile, the source said that Kerry Katona, who is also taking part in the same panto, is also an avid vaper but she has been making sure to smoke outside – unlike Katie. “Kerry also vapes so they keep popping for breaks when they can – but Katie can’t resist a few cheeky puffs inside,” the source added.

Earlier this month, Katie and JJ visited a cosmetic surgery provider to have work done to soften the wrinkles on their faces. Informing fans of their procedure via an Instagram video, Katie said: “Here I am. I have had some anti-wrinkles done. Although I’ve had my face done, you still need, like, little bits of touch ups.” Pointing to the skin around the corners of her eyes, she went on to say: “I’ve just had all these done, so in a week I will show you them disappearing.”

She revealed JJ was also getting the same work done, declaring: “And I’ve also brought along JJ because it helps prevent wrinkles. There might be a filter on him, but we love a filter. Show them your gnashers?” She then turned to a slightly nervous looking JJ whose eyes kept darting to the side of the camera. The 31-year-old said: “All them wrinkles are gone, look.” Chastising him slightly, Katie said: “No, it takes about a week.” The reality star then goofily said: “Oh. It takes a week, and then they’ll be gone.”

I’m A Celebrity host Ant McPartlin has said that he was ‘not surprised’ to discover that Loose Women panelist Jane Moore had become the first campmate voted out this year

Host Ant McPartlin has shared why he’s “not surprised” that journalist Jane Moore has become the first campmate to be voted off the new series of I’m A Celebrity this week.

It was announced at the end of Friday night’s episode that Loose Women panelist Jane, 62, had been voted out of camp by the public. She described her time in the jungle as “such a weird and magical experience” after leaving it.

Whilst discussing her departure, Jane appeared to take a swipe at some of her co-stars, with her saying: “Hard work doesn’t get rewarded.” The former contestant, who said in relation to chores that she “worked like a dog” whilst in camp, however would not name any particular campmates.

Discussing the result of the first vote, host Ant, 49, revealed on companion show I’m A Celebrity … Unpacked that he was not surprised that Jane left first. He suggested that she had “hit the nail on the head” in her own assessment.

Ant commented: “I’m not surprised because I think she kind of hit the nail on the head.” He then explained on the spin-off show: “If you work hard down there and do loads of chores, and just get things done … not a lot of that is seen.”

Co-host Dec Donnelly, 49, responded: “Sometimes you go under the radar a little bit.” Ant added: “Yeah, you do.” He continued by saying that fans are more interested in “entertaining chats” and bushtucker trials than chore footage.

Ant commented: “We’ve had that many times where people go ‘but I’ve done everything down there’ and you go ‘yeah, but we didn’t get a chance to see it because what the viewers want to see is entertaining chats and the trials, not necessarily somebody scrubbing pots every day.”

Earlier in the series, Ant suggested that some campmates weren’t getting the same amount of screen time as others. At the time, he encouraged fans to stop voting for Dean McCullough, 32, for trials to give other celebrities a chance to take part. Dean has taken part in the majority of trials so far.

After the campmate was confirmed for his sixth trial, Ant said in a message for viewers last week: “Right. Let’s all have a serious talk. I’m going to look directly into the camera here. I think it’s good to see other faces down there.”

Ant added: “This is not a personal thing. It’s not about Dean, it’s about us just seeing different people down there. And I think we want to see different people on the show being featured. Some people unfortunately aren’t getting [screen time].”

EastEnders fans can expect drama in the lead-up to Christmas on the BBC soap as spoilers reveal Lauren Branning’s turmoil, concern for Linda Carter and Phil Mitchell is hiding something

Three different characters worry their loved ones, with some “devastating” scenes on the way. As one character struggles amid their secret addiction, another’s battle is clear to see leading to disastrous scenes.

One resident is also hiding something sad, and as people get closer to the truth he finds himself unable to open up. These same three characters end up coming to together in a bid to support one of the trio, but will it work?

Phil Mitchell, who’s set to be part of a loneliness storyline, finds himself being exposed next month. Amid Nicola Mitchell causing trouble for her ex Teddy Mitchell and his new flame Sharon Watts, she makes a discovery and soon reports to Sharon.

Nicola is on a mission to wind Phil up, but as she heads to his house she’s left surprised by what she finds. Phil is furious to see her there, and she promises his secret is safe with her – but soon tells Sharon everything.

Phil denies what Nicola has claimed though, but soon enough people start to realise something is wrong. Sharon and Jay Brown’s attempts to get him to open up fall flat, with Phil feeling more isolated than ever.

A run-in with Bernadette Taylor leads to her trying to buy more booze though, and she ends up stealing it from the Minute Mart.

Alfie Moon alerts Johnny about this, before discovering that Sharon’s home has been broken into after Linda leaves the door open. As several characters try to get through to Linda about her drinking it only makes things worse, with Linda eventually agreeing to attend a meeting with Phil and Lauren.

Linda’s mother Elaine Peacock returns from her honeymoon and is told what’s gone on while she’s been away. However, after a “truly shocking and devastating day”, Elaine gives Linda a final ultimatum – but what is it, and what will Linda do?

As tensions start to rise in the ITV I’m A Celebrity camp, the contestants have been stressed by a big restructure, with Maura Higgins having an ‘accident’

I’m A Celebrity’s Maura Higgins has added to the rising in-camp tensions after admitting to an “accident” after the camp’s restructure.

The celebs will have to pay their way in the jungle after new rules were brought in meaning charges will apply to using the dunny, taking a shower and basic meals. In the Rank Bank trial, all the campmates were there to witness Ant and Dec explain the new rules and they would all be affected.

Chosen by the public, Dean McCullough, Alan Halsall and Danny Jones went up against each other to complete the trial, which saw them battle it out to bag some cash for their team’s bank account. The winner was to be awarded $300, while the campmate to come second and third was awarded $200 and $100 respectively.

If anyone didn’t complete the challenge in the allotted three minutes, they would leave empty handed. To use the basic amenities like the dunny, shower, poil and bath, they would have to pay $10 each at the turnstile, while a vending wall with fresh water and logs also ahad a $10 charge each. The treat machine was installed – not that many of them would be left with enough to make use of it.

After sitting through the trial, all the celebrities returned to the camp, hoping to tuck into yet more rice and beans – but there was an issue. Strictly’s Oti Mabuse and Reverend Coles couldn’t find the food supply, eventually working out Maura had taken it out with the rubbish. The pair had to rummage through the bins to find the discarded food, with Maura confessing to accidentally throwing it out.

She told the Bush Telegraph: “I didn’t throw the rice and beans in the rubbish on purpose or anything, although that’s the place for them if I’m being honest! It was a complete accident.”

Maura’s mistake has only added to growing tensions in the camp, with Radio 1 DJ Dean at the centre of a feud following a sighting of a rat. Reverend Coles brought it up over breakfast, telling the campmates: “We had a visitor last night, a little four legged visitor with a tail, a rat.” He reminded everyone to clear up at night to avoid inviting the critters in to the camp, after a frying pan and some cups were left out.

But Dean denied it had anything to do with him, telling the Bush Telegraph: “It’s actually Jane and Tulisa’s job to make sure that the pots are in the trunk, so when the reverend was telling everyone to put the pots away otherwise we’ll get rats, what he really meant was, Jane and Tulisa, put the pots away.”

It comes as Dean had also seemed to irritate Melvin Odoon, who said getting “Houdini” to help with chores was a chore in itself, saying: “It’s almost like another chore to ask him to help… it’s like telling a kid to tidy up his bedroom.”

Meanwhile, former boxer Barry McGuigan has his own gripe with Dean, after finding issue with the DJ after teabag-gate. Barry said of his trial efforts: “He screams, he shouts and he’s overdramatic.”

Coleen Nolan had big news to share during the latest installment of Loose Women.

Coleen Nolan confirmed she was ‘scared’ as she announced exciting news

After the audience cheered, Coleen added: “We only have 24 hours to rehearse it. I mean, I’m scared to death.”

Strictly Come Dancing star Pete Wicks opened up about the recent backlash he’s received after being saved in the BBC show.

On Thursday’s instalment of Lorraine, the ITV star was joined by Strictly Come Dancing contestant Pete Wicks and his professional partner Jowita Przystał. Despite finding himself at the bottom of the leaderboard for the past few weeks, he’s avoided landing in the dance-off.

Sadly, this has resulted in a wave of backlash from viewers, as he detailed on his Staying Relevant podcast. The 36-year-old revealed there’s been a few people who have sent him death threats.

Addressing this while speaking to Lorraine, the Scottish star was disgusted as she reeled: “For goodness sake, Pete, it’s ridiculous!”

He replied, “It’s mad because it’s a light entertainment show. Some people take it very, very seriously, but I’m used to it. I’ve had it for years doing all sorts of different television.”

Lorraine interrupted the BBC contestant, telling him that despite being on TV, getting that level of backlash is not right. Addressing Jowita, she asked: “I bet you get angry on his behalf?”

The Strictly pro added: “Yeah because all we want to do is have fun and give people something on a Saturday night. We want to entertain people. Dancing is the thing, you might like it or not it’s fine.

“Everyone has their own opinion and it’s absolutely fine but I think we need to be more kind to each other, the world is already quite a difficult place to be.”

Pete and Jowita have avoided being in the dance-off in the competition
Over the weekend, Pete and Jowita were told they’d be taking to the dancefloor once again for Musicals Week. Although Pete confessed he didn’t think he’d make it this far in the

He said: “I thought I’d go week one and every week I say to her, ‘this is going to be the last week, this will be the last week’. We’re now, what 11 weeks in?”

Sadly on Sunday night, viewers had to say goodbye to one star as Montell Douglas and Jamie Borthwick found themselves in the dance-off. After performing their routines for the judges for a second time, it was time for them to learn their fate. Ultimately, it was a unanimous decision as each judge opted to save Montell, sending Jamie home.

However, that wasn’t Montell’s first time at the bottom, as the Olympian has found herself in the dance-off multiple times. Speaking about dancing to stay in the competition on Loose Women this week, Johannes Radede made a candid confession.

Johannes and Montell were in the dance-off over the weekend as the judges chose to save themHe said: “I’m going to be honest, I have been a blubbering mess for the past three dance-offs ,and this woman here has been like, ‘It’s not over!’”

When asked if he feels he’s failed Montell as her trainer, he admitted that was true as he continued: You’ve let her down, yeah. This is not my first rodeo I’ve never pushed somebody like I’ve pushed Montell. But it’s not that, it’s how she’s pushed me as a trainer.”

Paying tribute to his celebrity partner, Johannes believes he’s dancing with a champion, as Montell touched on being in the dance-off once again.

She confessed: “It never gets easier. I don’t think it’s easier but I definitely think mindset for sure comes in straight away. He (Johannes) always jokes that I’m coaching him on the dance-off! I’m like, ‘We’ve got this’.

Ruth Langsford touched down in Australia sporting a fresh blow-dry and bronzed tan as she heads to the I’m A Celebrity jungle for a role on ITV2 series, Unpacked.

Ruth Langsford backed her fellow Loose Women to triumph in the Jungle – as she said she would say “never say never” to a This Morning return.

Ruth is being flown in by ITV because she is a fellow Loose Woman colleague of Jane Moore, 62, and also works with GK Barry, 25, on the ITV show.

She said at Brisbane Airport: “I think she is doing so well. Of course I am backing her to win, but of course I have Grace as well. I have two Loose Women. Maybe it could be a double win and two Queens of the Jungle.”

Talking about Jane’s performance, she added: “I thought Jane was extraordinary in her challenge when she swam underwater.That was extremely difficult, I would not have been able to do that. She was very calm, and you noticed that the only person who didn’t scream on the bus was Jane. She is a good woman.”

But she ruled out going into the Jungle, adding: “Absolutely not.”

Ruth has been busy documenting her trip on social media.

Posting on her Instagram Stories, she shared three suitcases and captioned the image: “Australia here I come!! Never could travel light!!! @imacelebrity.”

Alison Hammond, who replaced Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes on the Friday presenting team, today said the current This Morning stars were ‘devastated’ by the changes at the ITV show.

Appearing on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show, Alison said Martin Frizell gave her a break on television and turned her into a household name.

The Big Brother star, 49, shared: ‘I’ve worked with Martin for 10 years now, and I am, I’ll be honest with you, I’m absolutely devastated because he’s been a real rock for the show.’

It’s totally understandable as to why he’s leaving. We all know about his wife, Fiona (Phillips), and we get why he’s leaving. It’s very amicable, what he’s doing. He doesn’t want to leave, but he has to for family reasons, and we all understand that.’

As Evans branded Fiona a ‘legend’ Alison replied: ‘I know, I love Fiona. I remember being at a party with Fiona. I’ve never laughed so much in my life. She was so, so funny. And a lovely, lovely woman.’

Asked if she’d reached out to Martin, Alison said: “Yes, I have spoken to him. I’ve sent him a little message… I think, you know, he’s upset as well. It’s an emotional situation, you know, he’s very emotional.”

“He’s the one – shall I be honest with you – he’s the one who got me back on TV. He literally was like, “Alison’s really good, why don’t we use her? There was a time when I wasn’t on TV, I think it was 2007 or eight, I can’t really remember. Then Martin came on board and he was like, “Why are we not using Alison Hammond?” And he was the guy who made me the girl.

“So, you know, I’m really thankful to Martin Frizell, he’s a wonderful man. He’s going to be sadly missed. We’re all talking about it, like, behind the scenes. Everyone’s really sad. Everyone’s really gutted.”

Jane Moore and GK Barry could be about to make I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here history with ITV bosses reportedly ready for a unique situation in the hit jungle series

Fans of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here could be in for a treat.

Reports suggest the hit ITV evening show could be set for a never been done before moment to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Loose Women. As the talk show prepares for its 25-hour “Talkathon”, it’s thought ITV bosses want to include campmate Jane Moore in the epic feat, if she’s still Down Under. GK Barry could also be set to feature, as she is regularly on the lunchtime series.

The Talkathon is set to see the Loose Women team be live on air for 25 hours next Thursday. It will see faces from present and past taking turns to host the show and discuss topical news. It has been arranged to raise funds for Britain Get Talking charities.

Speaking of the plans to the Sun, a source said: “A show source said: “Everyone is backing them to stay in Australia but the team is really keen to find a way that they can somehow be involved in the Talkathon, whilst hopefully continuing their adventure in camp.”

The source said including Jane and GK while in the jungle would be the perfect addition to the huge celebrations. “Jane is one of the original Loose Women and was in the first ever ep plus, GK is the same age as the show! Everything is crossed.”

Meanwhile, fellow Loose Women star Ruth Langsford recently touched down in Australia. She is set to appear on the spin-off show, Unpacked, from tonight (Friday, November 29). As she arrived at the airport Down Under, Ruth told us: “I think she [Jane] is doing so well. Of course I am backing her to win, but of course I have Grace as well. I have two Loose Women. Maybe it could be a double win and two Queens of the Jungle.”

Speaking of how Jane has been performing, she added: “I thought Jane was extraordinary in her challenge when she swam underwater.That was extremely difficult, I would not have been able to do that. She was very calm, and you noticed that the only person who didn’t scream on the bus was Jane. She is a good woman.”

And she also laid foundations for a shock return to This Morning, insisting “never say never”. However, a return to life in the jungle was quickly ruled out: “Absolutely not,” she reaffirmed when asked.

Jane’s daughters are currently in Australia as they wait to take to the iconic bridge once their mum exits the jungle life. Speaking of their mum’s appearance, they said: “She went in wanting the adventure and if you came out the other side having not done a trial I think she would have been really disappointed.”

Fans were thrilled to see Ruth Langsford beaming as she moves forward from her painful year with a trip to Australia to support pal Jane Moore on I’m A Celebrity

Ruth Langsford is putting the stresses of 2024 behind her as she takes a pre-Christmas trip to Australia to appear on I’m A Celebrity spin off Unpacked.

The Loose Women star was photographed after touching down in Australia on Thursday, with the star looking relaxed and “genuinely happy” as she made her way through the airport. Former This Morning host Ruth, 64, announced she and husband of 14 years Eamonn Holmes were divorcing in May.

Amid the former couple’s increasingly messy split, the mum-of-one had headed Down Under in support of her Loose Women co-star and pal Jane Moore. Jane, 62, is part way through her I’m A Celeb stint in the jungle, where she is living with campmates including WAG Coleen Rooney, Strictly’s Oti Mabuse and Danny Jones of McFly fame.

As newly-single Ruth landed in Australia, she was seen smiling as she pulled her airport trolley, telling fans she’s never been able to “travel light”. Body language expert and celebrity astrologist Inbaal Honigman reckons the star looks “genuinely happy” as she takes her solo trip, although she is also showing signs of nervousness as she navigates her new normal following such a stressful year.

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, Inbaal Honigman said: “After landing in Australia, Ruth looks genuinely happy, if a little self-conscious. Her smiles at the airport have all the hallmarks of being genuine. First and foremost, we can see her teeth – open-mouthed smiles are rarely fake. In some photos her teeth are even parted, which shows true joy. She’s happy to have landed in the land down under. There are pictures of Ruth smiling with her cheeks raised, eyes narrowed. This shows her smiling with her whole face, where every muscle engages in the smile. This is an expression of heartfelt happiness.

“Having said that, there are a few signs that reveal that Ruth could be feeling a touch of the nerves. The presenter’s hands on the handle of her airport trolley are rather tense. Holding the handle with both hands, in some pictures they appear white-knuckled, gripping tightly. In other photos she has her hands off the trolley, but her palms are clasped together in a protective gesture. She’s not entirely out of the woods emotionally after the tough year she’s had.”

Visibly beaming, she told fans the news that she’d be on Unpacked on Friday.

A source claimed she wanted to take the trip to move on from her painful year. They told The Sun: “It’s been a tough year for Ruth and she’s been putting her best foot forward, she’s thrilled to have been asked to appear on this the spin off show and fly to Australia ahead of Christmas.”

The source added: “The production team are particularly excited they have landed Ruth to join them as they think she’ll be amazing and give the new format a boost.”
