Loose Women quickly turned awkward when chat turned to beautiful people living longer and Coleen Nolan was seemingly unimpressed as she took offence over the segment

Coleen Nolan was not full of pleasantries on Tuesday’s (August 13) Loose Women episode.

The Nolans singer, 58, was on the panel with the very same co-star’s that she’d shared the ITV stage with only yesterday, with the same clan back in business for the second day on the trot it was evident that they all seemed more than comfortable in each other’s company.

Kelly Holmes, Christine Lampard, Brenda Edwards and Coleen, having now built up a good rapport on Monday’s programme, kicked off the show discussing ‘people living longer who were more attractive’.

According to Christine who was in the hosting seat, a recent study discovered that people who were more beautiful, were deemed to live at least two years longer than those supposed to not be as attractive.

Coleen took a stab at beautiful Christine

Immediately, Coleen took a disliking to the conversation, pulling snarling faces in Christine’s direction and at the camera as the audience roared with laughter.

Judging by the disappointment written across her face, the former popstar was not happy that the camera had honed in on her, with Coleen throwing her arms up in the air.

Christine took Coleen’s comments all in her stride
Turning to Christine, who was giggling away, she asked: “Are you going to press that button?” The chat continued, with Christine seemingly digging an even bigger hole as she explained some of the most beautiful people were actually “very dull”.

Bored with the topic now, Coleen rudley interjected: “Are you still talking?” before beginning to fake snore noises live on air, leaving co-star’s Brenda and Kelly in hysterics.

Christine praised Coleen in spite of her comments
Despite being uninterested in the findings of the study and conversation, Coleen did delve into her thoughts on the matter.

She commented: “I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I’ve been out with some dodgy looking guys in my time… but they’ve really made me laugh and therefore the whole attractiveness comes into it of the overall person.”

Christine praised: “Well said,” as Coleen took another stab at her beautiful co-star and wife of football ace Frank Lampard, she jibed: “Alright ugly, get on with it.”

It was a visit that came just two years before Charles and Diana separated – and the tensions behind the scenes were etched on their faces.

The royal couple’s five-day trip to Nigeria was one remembered for their largely separate engagements and their few awkward joint appearances.

However, when the then Prince Charles and the Princess of Wales arrived in Lagos on March 15, 1990, thousands of fans welcomed them with cheers and flags.

Diana looked resplendent in a series of dresses by designers Catherine Walker and Paul Costelloe as she characteristically attracted much of the limelight.

She displayed the kindness that she was so loved for when she held the hand of a leprosy patient at a hospital, as Charles initially stood awkwardly by her side.

At the time, the couple’s marriage troubles were not public knowledge, but they were both engaged in secret affairs.

Charles was seeing Camilla, now the Queen, and Diana was romantically involved with James Hewitt, a Captain in the British Army. She had also had a fling with her protection officer, Barry Mannakee.

Former royal correspondent Elizabeth Blunt recalled that Diana’s Nigeria trip with Charles was an attempt by the Palace to ‘revive’ interest in them.

She previously said: ‘The West African tour was officially meant to be for Prince Charles, as future head of the Commonwealth, to get to know the region; in reality it was very much more about getting the right kind of coverage in the British press.

‘Looking back, this was a low point in the royal couple’s popularity; the glamour and novelty of their marriage had worn off; the problems in their relationship had not yet become public; the palace press office was keen to revive flagging public interest in the future King and Queen.

‘The chosen solution was a punishing round of activities which took them to every corner of Nigeria and Cameroon; Prince Charles opened a British Council Library, walked in the rain forest, and greeted war veterans in a tropical botanic garden.

‘Princess Diana visited children’s hospitals, traditional hand loom weavers and women’s development projects. And wherever Diana went, the royal press pack followed.’

She added: ‘I had Prince Charles’s engagements virtually to myself; no-one else was in the slightest bit interested.’

The Princess of Wales displayed the kindness which she became famous for when she held the hand of a leprosy patient as her husband initially stood by awkwardly. The patient, named Lucky, beamed when the princess held her hand at the Molai Centre, a leprosy hospital and rehabilitation village in Maiduguri, northern Nigeria, in March 1990

The 1990 visit was Diana’s first time in the country. Charles had been as a young boy in 1956, when he accompanied his mother Queen Elizabeth II on her royal tour.

He has been back three times since, in 1999, 2006 and 2018.

Five years before the 1990 trip, Charles and Diana had shared an awkward kiss at a polo match.

By then, their two children were too young to pick up on any tension between them. Prince Harry not even a year old, whilst Prince William was barely three.

In 1987, there was another sign that the couple’s marriage was in trouble when Diana did not join the Royal Family on their annual summer trip to Balmoral.

Two years later, transcripts of an intimate phone conversation between Charles and Camilla emerged.

During the call, the Charles spoke of wishing to be close to Camilla in intimate terms – and expressed a fear of being reincarnated as a tampon.

After reading the transcript, which was reported under headlines including ‘tampongate’ and ‘Camillagate’, Diana reportedly declared ‘game, set and match.’

However, there was still royal duty to attend to, and the Nigeria visit was part of that.

Charles and Diana were deeply moved when they visited patients afflicted with leprosy at a hospital and rehabilitation village in Maiduguri, northern Nigeria in what was one of their few joint engagements in the country.

One patient, named Lucky, beamed when the princess held his hand in hers as he lay in his bed.

Diana went on to do the same to several other children, showing the kindness which she had become so famous for.

Charles initially looked more cautious and had his hands clasped behind his back but he eventually followed the lead of his wife by physically reaching out.

After the trip, Diana was made patron of the Leprosy Mission in Britain.

The couple also attended a regatta at Port Harcourt in Rivers State, southern Nigeria.

Charles and Diana went on to Cameroon before returning to the UK.

In the year the couple separated, Diana made her feelings clear in Andrew Morton’s revelatory biography.

In hours of sessions that were taped for Morton, Diana told him every detail of her experience of married life with the heir to the throne.

The Princess described cutting herself with a pen knife, throwing herself down the stairs when she was pregnant and throwing up four times a day as bulimia took hold.

In 1994, Charles made his own feelings clear in Jonathan Dimbleby’s book, The Prince of Wales: A Biography.

Charles had already sensationally confessed to his affair with Camilla in a TV interview with Dimbleby earlier that year.

But the book offered up further royal bombshells, including Charles’ implicit admission that he never loved Diana, and a portrayal of his father Prince Philip as someone who could reduce his son to tears with a few harsh words.

It revealed how Charles went into his marriage believing that it was a mistake, with the Prince of Wales having felt pressured to tie the knot by his father’s warning that he had to make up his mind about her.

Dimbleby told how Diana became ‘exceptionally interested’ in Charles’s previous relationships, especially ‘with his old friend Camilla Parker Bowles‘.

Questions were raised after the book was released about whether Charles could ever become King, given the way he had been so open about his family struggles.

Further trouble was to come with Diana’s own sit-down TV interview with now-disgraced BBC man Martin Bashir the following year.

The conversation was watched by 23million people and caused a worldwide media frenzy as Diana told Bashir on ‘there were three people in this marriage’.

It emerged more than two decades later that, to secure access to Diana, Bashir showed her brother, Earl Spencer, false bank statements which suggested his former head of security had been receiving money from tabloids and the security services to spy on his sister.

Once he had gained access, Bashir told Diana a string of lies, convincing her that Prince Charles was having an affair with then royal nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke – now Alexandra Pettifer – and that she became pregnant and had an abortion as a result.

In December 1995, the Queen urged Charles and Diana to divorce and in August 1996, they finally did.

But less than a year later, Diana her lover Dodi Fayed died tragically in a car crash in a Paris underpass.

The Daily Mail’s report on Princess Diana’s visit to a hospital for leprosy patients with Prince Charles

David Beckham has been spotted strolling around his new $77million mega-mansion in Miami just days after purchasing the exclusive waterfront enclave.

The football legend was all smiles as he inspected the impressive nine-bedroom property in Miami Beach, Florida, which he acquired with his wife Victoria.

The 49-year-old was seen greeting friends atop a glamorous white balcony on Sunday and was unable to contain his excitement over the extravagant purchase.

He stopped to take in the views of the surrounding neighbourhood before heading back inside the house, which also boasts 13 bathrooms, an outdoor kitchen, a rooftop lounge and 124ft of frontage on Biscayne Bay.

Beckham was seen earlier in the day driving into the gated property in his McLaren 750S which sells new for at least $311,000 (£240,000).

Pop star Shakira and Bee Gee Barry Gibb will be among the Beckhams’ neighbors at the home, where they also have a waterfront deck and mooring for a yacht.

Earlier this month a local property source claimed that the Beckhams’ offer on the property had been accepted, and they plan to move in early next year.

The Beckhams have had a base in Florida for years, and also spent about £18million on a full-floor five-bedroom penthouse in downtown Miami in 2020.

The couple already have a property portfolio which includes a £31million townhouse in London’s Holland Park and a £12million Cotswolds country pile.

Long-time celebrity columnist Jose Lambiet told the Mail earlier this month: ‘I don’t think people necessarily remember that David Beckham was a football player.

‘They now think of him as a society guy, and the ownership of the soccer team has made him a stalwart in South Florida.

‘Miami is a place where he and Victoria can be comfortable because people are used to famous faces here – there are hundreds of celebrities.’

It is understood that the whole Beckham family had already been to see the property before the latest visit by Beckham, with a source saying that ‘everyone loves it’.

They added: ‘Although it’s David who has the work connection in Miami, the impression from the estate agents is that Victoria has been pushing for the move.

‘What we hear is she wants to have a sort of salon there where she can gather interesting famous and wealthy people. It’s going to be a social scene but the idea is she can turbo-charge her fashion and make-up brands by juicing those links.

‘It seems she wants to be the Queen of Miami and to lean into all the celebrity links which come from the football club.’

Former England captain Beckham exercised an option in his contract with his former Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy to buy an expansion franchise in 2014.

He launched the team in Miami in 2018, before confirming it would be called Club Internacional de Futbol Miami, or Inter Miami CF. It made its MLS debut in 2020.

The former Manchester United midfielder finished his playing career in 2013 with 718 appearances, 127 goals and 214 assists. He played 115 times for England.

The royal family is always a topic of interest, blending tradition with modernity and creating drama and intrigue. Recently, Princess Charlo…

The royal family is always a topic of interest, blending tradition with modernity and creating drama and intrigue. Recently, Princess Charlotte has taken on a new role, moving Meghan Markle and the Sussexes into the background. Is Princess Charlotte becoming the new favorite in the royal family? This could signify a significant shift—get ready for a wild ride!

When we think of the Royals, we often picture Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William. However, Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton, is now gaining attention as she prepares to take on a bigger role while Meghan Markle and Prince Harry step back from the royal scene. King Charles has grand plans for Charlotte, and her new role may very well overshadow Meghan Markle’s time in the spotlight.

This strategic move could position Charlotte as a top royal, potentially in response to the Sussexes’ departure. But why now? King Charles is eager to shape the monarchy’s future, aiming to streamline the family and focus on those who will lead. Unlike her brother, Prince George, Charlotte is not destined for the throne, allowing her the freedom to carve out her own path. King Charles is fully prepared to support her.

So, what does this mean for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry? Their decision to leave the royal family is being contrasted with Charlotte’s rising prominence. It’s as if the monarchy is signaling that it’s time for a change.

Remember when Meghan and Harry left? It was a bold move that sent shockwaves through the monarchy. Many believed it would modernize the royal family and put the Sussexes in the spotlight, but the narrative has shifted. Princess Charlotte is now taking on more responsibilities, attending more official events, and even earning praise from the Queen, all while Meghan Markle builds her brand in the U.S.

Is Charlotte’s rise a strategic maneuver to sideline the Sussexes? It seems that way. Meghan Markle has always been a point of debate. Her dramatic journey in and out of the royal family has been well documented, and her decision to leave was seen as an escape from royal pressures. Now, as Charlotte garners increasing attention, Meghan faces new challenges in establishing herself in a world that seems to be moving on without her.

Charlotte is quietly becoming the royal everyone wants to see. Unlike Meghan’s tumultuous path, Charlotte’s charm and growing responsibilities are winning hearts. Insiders suggest that Meghan feels pressured by Charlotte’s growing popularity. With King Charles elevating Charlotte’s role, Meghan may feel sidelined, leading to rumors of her frustration—being overshadowed by an eight-year-old is certainly unusual.

As Charlotte takes on her new role, the Sussexes’ future within the royal family appears uncertain. They once aimed to modernize the monarchy, but now they seem to be on the sidelines. Charlotte’s growing fame has widened the gap between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals. Will Meghan and Harry attempt to regain their royal status, or will they remain on their path of independence away from the monarchy? Only time will tell.

One thing is clear: Princess Charlotte is here to stay. Her rise marks a new chapter in the British monarchy. As the royal family enters this new era, Charlotte is poised to play a significant role. While this shift excites royal fans, it also stirs contention for Meghan and the Sussexes.

So, what do you think? Is Princess Charlotte the new royal to watch? How will Meghan Markle respond to these changes in royal dynamics? Share your thoughts in the comments below because this royal saga is far from over.

This situation goes beyond a simple rivalry. Princess Charlotte represents the future of the monarchy, while Meghan Markle was initially seen as a breath of fresh air. However, the royal world is unpredictable, and there’s always someone ready to take the spotlight. Charlotte’s appeal lies not only in her royal status but also in her youth, innocence, and potential as a new kind of royal. Her rise feels natural, in stark contrast to Meghan’s journey, which has been fraught with scrutiny and hostility.

As the Sussexes step back from royal duties, they are focusing on media projects, personal ventures, and activism. While these efforts have drawn attention, they have not always garnered positive reactions, with some viewing Meghan’s actions as attempts to overshadow the monarchy. In contrast, Charlotte’s quiet rise may serve as the palace’s way of demonstrating loyalty and drawing a line between those who remain committed and those who don’t.

Looking ahead, Princess Charlotte’s new role could signify significant things for her future. Imagine a young royal loved by all, navigating today’s world. Charlotte is likely to become the face of a modern monarchy, tackling global issues and appealing to young people in innovative ways. Having been born into royalty, she knows the rules and has the royal support necessary to thrive without needing to reinvent herself. However, Charlotte’s path will not be without challenges, as she will inevitably face media scrutiny and questions regarding her role in the Sussexes’ departure.

With Charlotte rising, Meghan faces a clear challenge: she must redefine her relevance outside the royal family. This could be a defining moment for Meghan, as she seeks to establish herself as more than a former duchess. If she can carve out an independent niche, she could secure her legacy as a trailblazer. But remember, the competition between Meghan and Charlotte is more than just personal; it’s symbolic. Every appearance Charlotte makes serves as a reminder of the Sussexes’ departure.

Will Meghan increase her media presence, or will she choose to step back? This choice will undoubtedly shape how the public perceives both women. Are we witnessing the beginning of a new favorite? Public opinion plays a crucial role in this royal drama. Meghan’s popularity has fluctuated based on media coverage, while Charlotte is quickly gaining fans, solidifying her status as a new favorite.

Charlotte’s playful nature and growing responsibilities are winning hearts. Her charming public appearances make her hard to resist. Conversely, Meghan’s image remains divisive; some perceive her departure as a betrayal. This makes the comparison between Charlotte and Meghan even more intriguing. Will Charlotte’s rising popularity damage Meghan’s reputation, or can they both find their own paths to shine?

Princess Charlotte’s new role signifies a considerable shift in royal dynamics. With King Charles at the helm, the monarchy is evolving, and Charlotte’s rise is a natural step into this new era. Now, Meghan must demonstrate that her post-royal life can also be impactful.

This challenge is daunting, but Meghan has shown resilience in navigating fame. So, where does that leave us? The story of Princess Charlotte versus Meghan Markle transcends rivalry; it’s about evolution. Both women are reshaping the narrative of what it means to be part of the royal family.

What are your thoughts on Princess Charlotte’s rise? Will her new role push Meghan Markle further into the background, or can both make their mark? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and don’t forget to stay tuned because, in the royal world, the story is never truly over.

Let’s explore why Princess Charlotte’s ascension is causing such a stir. It’s not merely about introducing a fresh face to the monarchy; it’s about survival. The British monarchy has faced numerous challenges, from political upheavals to family scandals. Today, maintaining relevance is more crucial than ever. King Charles understands this all too well—he’s witnessed how public perception can affect royal figures, such as Princess Diana or the controversies surrounding Prince Andrew.

Princess Charlotte, however, is different. She embodies youth, relatability, and an absence of scandal. Her presence signifies a new chapter for the royal family and could help bridge connections with younger generations. If the monarchy wants to maintain respect in the 21st century, royals like Charlotte are key.

The contrast with Meghan becomes clear: Meghan introduced a fresh perspective but faced controversy. In contrast, Charlotte represents the monarchy’s strength and resilience. As Princess Charlotte rises, Meghan Markle finds herself at a crossroads. It’s not just about staying relevant; it’s about defining her legacy.

Is she a trailblazer or a cautionary tale? The truth is, Meghan’s departure was always going to be polarizing. Some viewed it as a bold move, while others perceived it as abandoning duty for personal happiness. Now, with Charlotte poised to take on more prominent roles, Meghan’s challenge is formidable.

How can she remain relevant in an evolving institution? The next steps Meghan takes will be critical. Her philanthropic work, media projects, and activism could elevate her to global prominence, but she must avoid allowing comparisons to define her narrative.

As we observe the shifting dynamics between Meghan Markle and Princess Charlotte, public perception remains a key factor. Who is winning the popularity contest? We can’t overlook the impact of public opinion in royal matters. As the views of Meghan and Princess Charlotte shift, the landscape of the royal family continues to evolve in real time.

EXCLUSIVE: Australia’s Monarchist League want the senator who protested against King Charles on Monday to be removed from Parliament.

The Australian senator who disrupted King Charles’s landmark speech at Australia’s Parliament House is now facing calls to resign following the latest stunt which has been largely criticised worldwide.

Lidia Thorpe, who is the first Aboriginal senator for the state of Victoria and frequently campaigns on First Nations issues, shocked the world with her outburst on Monday during the second full day of engagements for King Charles and Queen Camilla.

The politician hurled verbal abuse at the King yelling “you are not my King” and accusing him of committing “genocide” against the country’s indigenous people. She was then swiftly escorted out of the chamber.

However, she hit back again shortly after when she reposted a grim cartoon online showing the King beheaded. Ms Thorpe sits as an independent in the upper house of the Australian parliament.

But now Australia’s monarchists have urged her to resign as they vowed to do all things “necessary” to kick her out of Parliament.

Philip Benwell, National Chairman of the Australian Monarchist League, blasted Ms Thorpe’s “disgusting” and “disgraceful” behaviour during the King’s tour.

He said that the association is now “investigating legal avenues” in order to have her removed from Parliament.

Mr Benwell told Express.co.uk: “I was actually standing close to Lidia Thorpe and was able to watch her every move.

“She is a person who openly declared, on taking her place in the Senate, that she would be faithful and bear true allegiance to the monarch. That she did so to be able to sit in the Senate is beside the point.

“The fact is that, for whatever reason, she declared her allegiance to King Charles and yet she has now screamed to the King in person “you are not my King.” She also shouted other things on being escorted out of the Great Hall, which included swear words and worse.

“This person should resign from the Senate immediately as she has no place in a democratic chamber which values discourse and decisions but not insults and possible threats.”

He added: “The Australian Monarchist League is investigating legal avenues that may be necessary to remove her from the Parliament.”

Mr Benwell claimed that there are “tens of thousands” of Australians who have come out to greet Their Majesties, however, their first royal tour in the country since Charles’s ascension to the throne will be overshadowed by Ms Thorpe’s latest stunt.

He said: “The Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition both gave extraordinary speeches and yet it will not be the crowds, nor the political figures and even not the King and Queen that will be remembered but the disgraceful and disgusting behaviour of Lidia Thorpe.”

King Charles and Queen Camilla visited a park in Sydney, where the monarch appeared to stumble during his speech.

King Charles appeared to stumble during a speech on the final day of his and Queen Camilla’s tour in Australia.

The King and Queen visited Parramatta Park on Tuesday under Sydney’s blistering sunshine for a taste of suburban life and joined locals for a barbecue.

Charles and Camilla were handed some tongs and gave the chefs a hand by flipping over some snags – Australian slang for sausages.

During the engagement, the monarch also delivered a four-minute speech – during which he appeared to stumble for a moment, and was heard saying over the microphone: “Hang on, I picked up two pages of this bloody thing.”

He then returned to his speech, and went on to say he was delighted to be at Parramatta today, commending it as an “excellent choice for a community barbecue.”

He added: “It is a particular delight to see and smell all the “top tucker” here today, from Western Sydney’s vibrant and diverse community.”

Moreover, he spoke of his joy as he was able to renew his long association with the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales, joking: “As we are happily rediscovering today, New South Wales farmers continue to produce truly outstanding food and wine.

“It is no wonder, I think, that Sydney is world famous for its cuisine, whether it’s smashed avo, a pav, or a Cab Sav and that is what I hope has been on display.”

He concluded his speech to much applause, with the royal couple then leaving to head to their next engagements.

Today concluded Charles’s first visit to Australia as monarch – a trip which has been stained by anti-monarchy protests.

Controversy overshadowed his speech at Australia’s Parliament House on Monday when Indigenous independent senator Lidia Thorpe yelled at the monarch that he was not her King and Australia was not his land.

On Wednesday, he is expected to travel to Samoa

Tina Brown, the former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, slammed Meghan’s poor judgement after calling her exit from the Royal Family a “disaster all round”.

Meghan Markle has been issued a scathing four-word remark by the former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, who slammed the Duchess for her poor judgement.

Tina Brown accused Meghan for “getting it all wrong” after previously calling her and Prince Harry’s exit from the Royal Family a “disaster” and accusing them of being “addicted to drama”.

During an appearance on The Ankler podcast with Janice Win, Brown went after the former working royal once again, saying she has the worst judgement “in the entire world”.

She said: “The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world. She’s flawless about getting it all wrong. All of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.”

Brown, who was also Princess Diana’s biographer and author of The Palace Papers: Inside The House Of Windsor – The Truth And The Turmoil, claimed Prince Harry “blindly” goes along with all of Meghan’s ideas.

She added: “[Harry is] the lamb to the slaughter in this situation. And he just sort of blindly followed her like a child, really.”

In 2022, Brown called the Duke a “very impetuous man” and claimed many Palace advisors “always thought he would leave”.

She said: “He was so fragile, so combustible, he was so unhappy, frankly, in the constraints of the Royal Family.”

In her newly released Substack titled Fresh Hell, Brown said she would “unload my observations, rants, news obsessions, and human exchanges with the wildly eclectic cast of characters who populate my seething inbox”.

This comes as an expert claimed Meghan has a “weapon in her back pocket” for seeking “revenge” on the Royal Family in the future.

BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said the Duchess has the option of an expose book. She told OK!: “It’s been more than two years since she gave that interview, and she has steered clear of controversy about the Royal Family since.

“Obviously, the journal she mentioned will remain a potential weapon in her back pocket if she ever feels the need to seek some sort of revenge. But she has behaved with discretion and dignity ever since Oprah and the documentary series.

She added: “I think she is looking forwards, not backwards and is moving on with her life. So I don’t think we should be raising false alarms about any potential memoir.”

Meghan Markle could be set to follow in her husband Prince Harry’s footsteps by releasing a tell-all memoir about her time in the Royal Family, according to a royal expert

Meghan Markle has a “weapon in her back pocket” that she could use for potential “revenge” against the Royal Family, according to an expert.

It has been over four years since she and Prince Harry stepped down as senior Royals, with both being vocal about their struggles within The Firm – highlighted by their bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview and a revealing Netflix series.

Subsequently, Prince Harry published his tell-all book ‘Spare’ last year, shedding light on tensions within the Royal Institution, particularly with King Charles and Prince William. Post-Netflix revelations, Meghan has kept mum regarding any further disclosures about the Royals.

Nonetheless, whispers of Meghan penning her personal memoir have surfaced, spurred by hints dropped in an interview from two years ago; Meghan alluded to maintaining a diary during her Royal role. Veteran former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond said that such a journal suggests an expose could be “in her back pocket.”

Jennie Bond told OK!: “It’s more than two years since she gave that interview, and she has steered clear of controversy about the Royal Family since.

“Obviously, the journal she mentioned will remain a potential weapon in her back pocket if she ever feels the need to seek some sort of revenge.

“But she has behaved with discretion and dignity ever since Oprah and the documentary series. I think she is looking forwards, not backwards and is moving on with her life. So I don’t think we should be raising false alarms about any potential memoir.”

Last year, Meghan opened up to The Cut about her Californian family life post-royal exit and her podcast Archetypes. She revealed that no NDA was required upon her departure from ‘the firm’ and recounted finding a journal at Frogmore Cottage, saying: “You go back, and you open drawers, and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh. This is what I was writing in my journal there.”

Following Meghan’s disclosures, Sunday Times Royal Editor Roya Nikkhah expressed on True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat that some remarks were quite revealing.

Nikkhah observed: “The thinly veiled threats that came in [Meghan’s interview with The Cut] …I think [she] probably hopes it does [feel threatening] to the Royal Family… [But] I think there’s a lot of eye-rolling, going, ‘We’re used to this by now’… [But] that phrase, ‘I have a lot to say until I don’t’ and, ‘I’ve never signed anything that restricts me from talking’… there was a very strong inference there.”

She added, “And, of course, the reminder that she keeps a journal, and [her] revelation that, ‘when we came back to Windsor, to Frogmore Cottage for the Jubilee, I rediscovered my journal that I’d left there’ – I was astonished to discover that she had left a highly private diary behind in Windsor, rather than taking it back.

“She’s mentioned a couple of times in the last year or two that she kept a journal, and I think there is a very strong inference that Meghan could write her own memoir.”

As Princess Catherine prepares to return to her royal duties after completing chemotherapy, she has expressed immense gratitude for the unwavering support of her husband, Prince William.

In her latest announcement video, Catherine emphasized how William has been a constant presence throughout her health journey, standing by her side through every step of the battle.

But William’s steadfast devotion has not only been directed toward Catherine—it extends to her entire family, particularly the Middletons, who have also faced the pressures of royal life in their own ways.

Catherine’s brother, James Middleton, recently opened up about these challenges in his memoir, where he reflected on the impact of public scrutiny that comes with being part of the royal family.

He praised Prince William for being a “crucial figure” in shielding their family from the more difficult aspects of this lifestyle.

In a poignant passage, James shared, “William was a support for us as a family. He did everything he could to protect us from the intense interest, not only for Catherine but for her immediate family.” This candid insight highlights a side of royal life that is less visible—the toll it takes on loved ones and how William took on the responsibility of protecting the Middletons from this burden.

Prince William and Princess Catherine have long cherished their close relationship with Catherine’s family, especially her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. Over the years, the Middleton family’s home in Bucklebury,  Berkshire, has become a beloved retreat for the couple, providing a quiet sanctuary where they can spend quality time with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. This rural estate, nestled in the Berkshire countryside, offers the family a peaceful escape from the public eye, where they can enjoy simple pleasures like countryside walks and outdoor activities.

William has played a protective role in ensuring that the Middletons receive the privacy and respect they deserve, shielding them from the relentless media attention that often accompanies royal status. His efforts to safeguard Catherine’s family reflect his deep understanding of the challenges that come with being in the public spotlight, given his own experiences growing up as a royal.

As Catherine returns to her royal responsibilities, rejuvenated after her treatment and bolstered by William’s support, it’s evident that their partnership is built on mutual respect and unwavering dedication. William’s commitment to looking after Catherine’s family, and his devotion during her health battle, highlight the strength of their bond. Behind their public roles, they share a deeply personal connection that shapes their lives.

As Catherine resumes her royal duties, she will undoubtedly continue to lean on William’s love and support. Thanks to his efforts, the Middleton family can rest assured that they too are being looked after, not only during Catherine’s health journey but as they navigate the unique challenges of their place in the world.
