In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle has made headlines once again with bold claims about her ongoing disputes within the British royal family. The Duchess of Sussex has accused Princess Kate of attempting to damage her reputation through a series of calculated actions. This new development has set the media abuzz and left many wondering what might be behind these explosive allegations.

 

 

Meghan Markle, known for her high-profile marriage to Prince Harry and her outspoken nature, has recently taken to public forums to voice her grievances. According to Meghan, recent negative press and public scrutiny have been part of a deliberate campaign to undermine her standing and tarnish her reputation.

In a statement released through her spokesperson, Meghan alleged, “There have been a series of deliberate actions designed to damage my reputation and personal standing. I firmly believe that Princess Kate has played a significant role in orchestrating these attacks.

The Duchess of Sussex claims that these actions have been executed through strategic leaks to the media, targeted gossip, and other forms of subtle sabotage. Meghan’s accusations have sparked a flurry of speculation and debate, with many questioning the motives behind such serious allegations.
The relationship between Meghan Markle and the rest of the British royal family has been tumultuous since she and Prince Harry stepped back from their royal duties in early 2020. The couple’s departure from the royal family was followed by a series of public disputes and media controversies.

Tensions between Meghan and Princess Kate have been particularly notable. Rumors of discord between the two duchesses have circulated for years, with various reports suggesting friction over differences in their approaches to royal duties, personal styles, and even family matters.

The recent accusations add a new layer to this ongoing narrative, intensifying the public’s interest in the strained relationships within the royal family. Meghan’s claims suggest a more calculated effort to undermine her than previously thought, painting a picture of a deliberate campaign rather than mere personal disagreements.

Princess Kate, known for her reserved demeanor and commitment to royal duties, has yet to publicly respond to Meghan’s allegations. The royal family traditionally refrains from engaging in direct public rebuttals, preferring to maintain a dignified silence in the face of controversy.

However, insiders close to the royal family have expressed surprise at Meghan’s accusations. Some sources suggest that the claims could be a strategic move to shift public opinion or to draw attention away from other issues.

The royal family generally avoids public disputes and prefers to handle internal matters privately,” said a royal insider. “Meghan’s public accusations are unusual and have certainly caught everyone off guard.”

The media has been quick to pick up on Meghan’s allegations, with various outlets weighing in on the controversy. Coverage has ranged from sympathetic to skeptical, reflecting the polarized opinions on the Duchess of Sussex.

Supporters of Meghan argue that her claims highlight ongoing issues of fairness and treatment within the royal family. They point to her previous struggles with media scrutiny and the challenges of navigating royal life while being a vocal advocate for social justice.

Critics, however, view the accusations as part of a broader pattern of conflict and drama. Some believe that Meghan’s public statements could be aimed at maintaining a certain narrative or gaining sympathy in the face of continuing media and public criticism.

“The drama surrounding Meghan Markle and the royal family seems to be never-ending,” noted a prominent royal commentator. “While her claims are significant, they also fit into a broader context of ongoing disputes and media battles.”
Meghan Markle’s recent statements could have varying impacts on her public image. For some, the accusations may reinforce her position as a victim of royal and media mistreatment, potentially strengthening her support among those sympathetic to her cause.

For others, the claims could be seen as adding to the narrative of personal drama and controversy that has followed Meghan since her marriage to Prince Harry. The outcome may depend on how the public and media interpret the motivations and implications of her allegations.

As Meghan Markle’s accusations against Princess Kate continue to make headlines, the royal family remains largely silent on the matter. The unfolding drama between the two duchesses adds a new chapter to the complex and often contentious relationship within the British monarchy.
In the coming weeks, it will be interesting to see how the royal family responds, if at all, and whether there will be any further developments in the ongoing disputes. For now, Meghan’s claims have undoubtedly reignited public interest in the dynamics of royal life and the personal conflicts that shape it.

Meghan Markle’s recent accusations against Princess Kate have once again brought royal family drama to the forefront of public discourse. With claims of deliberate efforts to damage her reputation, Meghan has intensified the ongoing narrative of conflict within the monarchy. As the situation continues to develop, the world watches closely, eager to see how these high-profile disputes will evolve and what impact they will have on the public perception of the royal family.

 

Without this change, Charlotte and her younger brother Louis would not have received these titles, unlike their older brother George. As Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Prince William and Princess Catherine, grows up in the spotlight, the guidance from her experienced great-aunt is proving both timely and essential.

 

 

In addition to maybe getting the title Duchess of Edinburgh, thanks to a request from the late Prince Philip, Princess Charlotte is also in line for another title, according to Marie Claire. The publication notes that she’ll one day get the title Princess Royal, which is the honorific currently carried by Princess Anne.

The title generally goes to the “eldest daughter of a monarch,” which is why Anne has it now. But, because royal rules can be old and dusty, they only allow for there to be one Princess Royal at a time. So, that means Charlotte will have to wait until Anne vacates the title when she passes. So far, there have been seven Princesses Royal. The first was Princess Mary, the eldest daughter of King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria, according to The Sun.

Anne wasn’t given the title of Princess Royal until 1987, when she was 36 years old. For Charlotte to receive the title, Anne would have to die and Charlotte’s father, William, would have to be the king. That means King Charles would also have to either die or abdicate the throne.

When all that happens, Prince George will receive the Prince of Wales title, and his younger brother, Louis, will probably get either the Duke of Cambridge or the Duke of York title. Of course, all of this could change if King Charles III has his way and streamlines the monarchy and gets things down to “core members.”

Will Princess Charlotte Inherit the Title of Princess Royal from Princess Anne?
Princess Royal is a title traditionally bestowed on the monarch’s eldest daughter — but Princess Charlotte may break that custom when her father becomes king

Princess Royal is a title traditionally bestowed on the monarch’s eldest daughter — but Princess Charlotte may break that custom when her father becomes king.

Charlotte’s great aunt Princess Anne, who is celebrating her 68th birthday today, was given the title by her mother, Queen Elizabeth, in 1987 when she was 36 years old — but it wasn’t automatically inherited as much as awarded. (In other words, it’s not a guarantee.) Only one living woman can be called the Princess Royal, which is why the Queen never had the title herself: Her aunt, Princess Mary, possessed the title until her death in 1965.

Since Prince Charles has no daughters, the next potential Princess Royal is 3-year-old Princess Charlotte. That, of course, is a long way off, and dependent on two factors: Prince William would need to be king, and Princess Anne would need to no longer be alive for Charlotte to be named Princess Royal.
However, the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 may change everything. The act stated that birth order determines who will become the next king or queen of the U.K., regardless of gender. Had it not been in place, Charlotte would have lost her spot when mom Kate Middleton gave birth in April to her younger brother, Prince Louis.

Since Princess Royal has a lower status than a royal dukedom, it’s possible that Charlotte will be given a peerage when she gets married, making her a duchess. After all, it’s likely that both of her brothers will be made dukes.

Ultimately, it will be a decision made by Prince William when he becomes monarch.
There have only been seven women with the title of Princess Royal since its introduction, when Queen Henrietta Maria, daughter of Henry IV, King of France, and wife of King Charles I wanted to imitate the way the eldest daughter of the King of France was styled “Madame Royale.” Her daughter, Mary, was the first to hold the title from 1642 to 1660.

And Kate and William’s daughter wouldn’t be the first with her name to hold the title! Charlotte, Princess Royal, was the daughter of King George III and used the title from 1789 to 1828.

As Lady Sarah McCorquodale celebrates 44 years of marriage today, onlookers may wonder if she is reflecting on how different her life could have been.

Because Princess Diana‘s eldest sister once dated Prince Charles – she went out with the heir to the throne two years before her sister.

In fact, Lady Sarah, 69, even introduced Diana to Charles and says she played ‘cupid’ for the pair.

But it was 22-year-old Lady Sarah Spencer, a willowy red-head with a great sense of fun, who first caught Prince Charles’s eye at a house party at Windsor Castle for Royal Ascot.

‘Prince Charles enjoyed Sarah’s sparkiness and irreverent wit and they made each other laugh,’ says Sarah Bradford, author of Diana: Finally, the Complete Story.

Their romance involved polo matches and an invitation to Balmoral but it was after a skiing trip to Klosters in 1978, that Sarah made the mistake that would end their liaison.

In an astonishingly frank interview with Woman’s Own, Bradford’s biography reports that Sarah declared: ‘I’m not in love with Prince Charles.

‘I’m a whirlwind sort of lady, as opposed to a person who goes in for slow-developing courtships.

‘I can assure you that if there was to be any engagement between Prince Charles and myself, then it would have happened by now.’

Time magazine also reported that Sarah said, ‘Charles makes me laugh a lot. I really enjoy being with him,’ but she said there was ‘no chance’ of her marrying him.

‘I’m not in love with him. And I wouldn’t marry anyone I didn’t love whether he were the dustman or the King of England.’

Sarah also described Charles as a ‘romantic who falls in love easily’ and revealed that despite their closeness, she always called him ‘sir’.

Naturally upset by her revelations, Charles allegedly told Sarah that she had done something ‘stupid’ and their relationship met its end.

Yet there were no hard feelings and Sarah later prided herself on being the matchmaker for Diana and Charles.

The pair met at a dance at Althorp – the Spencer family estate – when Diana was just 16.

‘I introduced them, I’m cupid,’ Sarah is reported to have said.

It seems that for Sarah, a more humble marriage to a wealthy Lincolnshire farmer – rather than toiling on the royal frontline – was the true path to happiness.

Her husband Neil McCorquodale, now 73, is reported to be ‘solid, very steady, private, quiet, with a good sense of humour’, according to Sally Bedell Smith, author of Diana in Search of Herself: Portrait of a Troubled Princess.

The former officer with the Coldstream Guards was the perfect foil for Sarah, who Bedell Smith says, ‘was ebullient and enterprising, with an unpredictable streak.’

So on May 17, 1980, the couple married in a modest ceremony at St Mary’s Church near Althorp, the Spencers’ ancestral seat in Northamptonshire.

Lady Sarah, who wore a lace gown with a high neck and peplum detail, held a modest bouquet of seasonal white flowers, and topped off her look with the Spencer family diamond tiara.

Princess Margaret’s daughter Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones (now Lady Sarah Chatto) was a bridesmaid.

After marriage, Lady Sarah and Diana remained close – the sisters would go on holiday with their children, and Sarah even became one of Diana’s ladies-in-waiting between 1992 and 1997.

It was a reversal of their childhood dynamic in which Diana hero-worshipped her big sister, even being a cleaner at a rental house that Sarah managed for their father.

Sarah’s support may even have extended to turning a blind eye to the ups and downs of Diana’s love life. In 1998 Princess Diana biographer Judy Wade told People magazine, ‘I think Sarah knew about Diana’s affairs.

‘In a way, she even encouraged Diana to be wild and to have lovers.’

In fact, Diana once called Sarah, ‘the only person I know I can trust’.

The closeness between the sisters was evident even after Diana’s death, when Lady Sarah read a poem at Diana’s funeral, acted as co-executor of Diana’s will and became president of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund until it closed in 2012.

Today Sarah and Neil live near Grantham, Lincolnshire, where, in 2009, she served a one-year term as High Sheriff of Lincolnshire.

And it seems that Sarah is in no hurry to relinquish her reputation for being a bit wild – her friends and family celebrated her 60th with a huge cake in the shape of a packet of Silk Cut in tribute to her love of cigarettes.

Their three adult children, Emily, 40, George, 39, and Celia, 35, are close to their Windsor cousins.

And Sarah and her other sister Lady Jane Fellowes are regular features of William and Harry’s lives: Sarah was at both of their weddings, as well as the christening of Harry’s son Archie in 2019.

In fact, Harry is thought to particularly identify with his Spencer family.

Ingrid Seward, royal commentator and editor of Majesty magazine, says that Harry is ‘extremely proud of his Spencer heritage’.

‘Not only does Harry look very Spencer with his red hair, but he calls his aunts Sarah and Jane his “red aunts”.’

She told the Telegraph’The Spencer family [is] known for being outspoken, all action, leading with the heart, not the head.’

It was the honeymoon photos of the new Princess of Wales that clinched it for me to join Camp Diana.

I’d always disliked the Royal Family, what with their ethos of hunting, shooting and fishing. The bear skin hats worn for ceremonial duties. Their love of horse racing and polo. Fly fishing!

But the sight of Diana at Balmoral, clearly itchy in scratchy, dowdy tweed, trying to mask her boredom, made the animal lovers among us cheer her to the rafters.

We swiftly fell in love with her refusal to not only kill animals for pleasure, but to refuse to be stiff and formal, and to go on to champion unpopular causes such as campaigning for victims of Aids, eating disorders, and poor mental health.

Charles and Camilla’s wedding in 2005 still left Liz Jones unconvinced

Camilla was of course the villain of the piece. When the taped conversations between her and Charles were released (I used to sit in my office, dialling The Sun phone line to pay to listen to them, open mouthed), not to mention the moment Diana, during her BBC interview with Martin Bashir, revealed ‘There were three of us in this marriage’, I and any woman who had ever been cheated on, lied to, humiliated by a man would forever hold Diana in the highest esteem for her courage to speak out. When she died in Paris in 1997, the grief was personal, genuine, overwhelming. I didn’t sob as hard when my own father died a year later: I had no more tears left to shed.

When Camilla finally married the man she had always been in love with, I was unconvinced, unexcited. I simply did not want to know. How dare she have made Diana so unhappy, so cast aside? She wasn’t as young, nowhere near as beautiful. Yes, she and Charles had more in common, but they should have decided that sooner!

I only really started to thaw towards Camilla, drip by drip, after Queen Elizabeth died. She seemed to possess quiet dignity. Other women suddenly seemed really strident, and loud. Remember the way Camilla calmed Charles down when he was annoyed by a pen and ink? As the culture changed, and women embraced MeToo, refusing to be victims, the fact Camilla had never whined, or looked bored, or bleated doe eyed to a camera, ‘I’m not okay’ was suddenly a beacon of strength.

When Charles was diagnosed with cancer, she didn’t sit by his bed stroking his hand, she dusted herself off and got on with it, working hard, with a smile on her face. When her beloved brother, environmentalist Mark Shand, died, she took up the mantle, raising money to help with the conservation of Asian elephants.

I always disliked the fact she enjoyed fox hunting, was pictured mounted, sipping sherry. When hunting with hounds became illegal, she gave it up even as many others carried on. That she no longer takes part in a blood sport she had been brought up to enjoy, and which seemed normal to her and her class (Charles loved it too), is a welcome step in the right direction. Yes, we can change, yes we can bend to the will of the people.

Camilla wrote to PETA to announce that she would no longer buy anything using animal fur

Earlier this week, Camilla wrote to PETA, the animal rights campaign group, to announce she would no longer buy anything using animal fur. It is a small step, as she might still wear vintage fur on occasion. Not quite as heart-warming as Queen Elizabeth, sat alongside a straight-backed rescued beagle called Guy in her car on the way to Meghan’s wedding rehearsal, not an Awwww moment, but welcome nonetheless.

Camilla’s decision joins a long list of animal friendly actions taken by the Royal Family in recent months. Earlier this month, the RSPCA announced that King Charles is its new patron, saying, ‘His Majesty’s powerful voice for nature and regenerative farming will be vital in raising the profile of animal welfare and inspire more people than ever to create a better world for every animal.’ Foie gras is no longer served in the Royal Household, and the Coronation Roll, the official record of last year’s ceremony, was produced on paper not parchment, which is made from animal skin. But Rome wasn’t built in a day. A 2023 Guardian investigation reported that over the past two decades Sandringham ‘has been linked to the deaths and disappearances of a string of legally protected birds’.

Animal Aid found that more than 7,000 mammals and birds were killed on Royal land in one year. Among that number, thousands of foxes and corvids were killed in order to protect the estate’s pheasants from predators. Snares are banned in Wales and Scotland, but not in England. In 2021, PETA wrote to the then Prince of Wales with a request to ban snares at Sandringham, but claims not to have received a response to this day. Balmoral is used to hosting ‘straightforward’ shooting parties.

But I do think Camilla is listening to what the ordinary British public want. According to the RSPCA, 95 per cent of us disagree with wearing fur. Charles clearly takes note of her advice. I like to imagine her whispering in his ear, gently persuading and guiding. So, Camp Camilla it is. Non-bearskin hats off to her. I cannot wait to see what long-held tradition will meet a sticky end next…

The eldest son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham revealed which member of the Royal Family they used to see “the most often” whilst on a talk show this week.

Retired footballer David, 49, and former Spice Girl Victoria, 50, are thought to be long-term friends with members of the Royal Family for some time. The couple, who each have an OBE, have attended various royal events over the years.

Their eldest child Brooklyn Beckham, 25, was asked about the connection whilst on Watch What Happens Live! on Monday night. He spoke to host Andy Cohen, 56, whilst a guest on the Bravo show in the US with Zachary Quinto. During the episode, Andy read out a question from a viewer that wanted to know which members of the Royal Family Brooklyn saw most often growing up.

They referenced Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan Markle, 43, in the question. Reading the question out, Andy said: “Growing up, which members of the Royal Family did you see the most often, especially since your family is friends with Harry and Meghan?” After taking a moment to think, Brooklyn replied.

He shared with the presenter that it was “probably” Prince William, 42, and made no mention of his parents’ former pals Meghan and Harry. Brooklyn responded to the question: “Probably William, yeah.” Andy then asked: “What’s he like? Is there something about him that people don’t get? Is he fun?”

Brooklyn said about King Charles III’s eldest son: “He’s just like the sweetest guy ever. He really is.” The guest went on to comment about the heir to the throne whilst on the show: “He’s really down to earth. He’s really [a] good guy.”

David and Victoria have been associated with the Royal Family for a number of years. The couple have notably attended two royal weddings, with them first guests at Prince William’s nuptials to Princess Kate, now 42, more than a decade ago. The wedding was held at Westminster Abbey in 2011. More recently, Brooklyn’s parents attended Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018. Those nuptials were held at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

It was later reported that Prince William and Princess Kate had been invited to Brooklyn’s wedding to Nicola Peltz, now 29, in 2022. There was speculation that the Beckhams ‘agonised’ over whether to invite Prince William and his wife, or Prince Harry and his wife, given an alleged rift between the two couples.

The family are said to have chosen Prince William and Princess Kate in the end due to their long history of friendship. A source said last year: “David and Victoria wrote to William and Kate inviting them and the family to their son’s wedding, and William replied wishing them a great deal of joy but they are unable to attend.”

Harper Beckham wowed her mother Victoria Beckham, as the pair attended a chic event in London as a duo.

The designer, 50, was at the Claridge’s Hotel in London this Tuesday, November 6, as she received Harper’s Bazaar Entrepreneur of the Year Award – and who better than her daughter Harper to hand her the award?

For the occasion, Victoria Beckham cut an classy figure with an ivory silk trouser suit, while the 13-year-old – whom Victoria shares with husband David Beckham – donned a silky white dress to match.

Taking to the stage to accept her award, given to her for her “innovation and dedication to the British and global fashion industry”, the former Spice Girl couldn’t contain her glee as she praised her “poise” and “elegance.”

“I am so, so proud of you”, she said, according to The Daily Mail, “I mean getting up on stage in front of a room full of people is scary and you did it with such poise and such elegance.” The youngest child of the Beckham children has had plenty of practice at public events as she has previously gone to her fashion events, and the premiere of her parents’ Netflix documentary.

But while she attended the 2024 Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards, Victoria Beckham skipped the red carpet, sneaking into the event without having to pose with her peers – something she later accepted to do with her daughter Harper, after being presented with her accolade. Meanwhile, stars in the likes of Sophie Turner, Maya Jama and even This Morning’s Cat Deeley all posed for photographs.

While she has impressed her mother, Harper Beckham has also managed to gather a large following on social media, stealing the show with her Instagram posts as Victoria has often shown her off on her own platforms. Victoria once branded her daughter as her “mini-me” in a recent social media post, commenting that Harper is “following in mummy’s footsteps” when the teen revealed she had plans to create her own brand.

Both David and Victoria have both used the hashtag #HarperSeven when sharing photos of their youngest child, which references her full name – Harper Seven Beckham. Victoria has also made a huge move in securing Harper’s future as she has incorporated a business called H7B Limited. It will funnel any future earnings for Harper, according to the Sun. Posh Spice and a solicitor are listed as its director. Harper could soon earn millions from huge brand deals as well as the potential to launch her own business, making her dreams come true.

Back in October, during one of her mother’s events, Harper took to the dream station that was upheld at the launch party, putting pen to paper to write down her thoughts. Harper wrote on two pieces of card with the teenager hoping she would “create an amazing brand when I’m older.” In a second card filled out by Harper, she wrote that she wanted “everyone to be happy in life.”

Meghan Markle channeled the fashion prowess of Princess Diana as she recreated her late mother-in-law’s iconic blazer ensemble upon her return to Los Angeles.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, arrived back in the US on Monday after an 18-hour flight home from their three-day trip to Nigeria.

Mother-of-two Meghan sported a sophisticated, 90s-inspired outfit as she landed at Los Angeles International Airport, typing quickly on her phone as she walked.

The actress-turned-royal donned a khaki linen and wool mix blazer from Loro Piana, called the Jamilla, which retails for around £2,900.

Underneath her jacket, the Duchess wore a cashmere and silk mix sweater – the Takao Jumper – also from Loro Piana, which costs £990.

Meghan co-ordinated the ensemble with a pair of £815 Chris canvas and leather slippers from Yves Saint Laurent in the gold brown colour way.

She then tied it the ensemble together with pair of fitted, cropped white jeans – a style she has favoured multiple times in the past.

But eagle-eyed royal fans may notice how similar the outfit is to one famously worn by Princess Diana while out shopping in London.

In the autumn of 1994, the late Princess of Wales was snapped shopping in Knightsbridge sporting a chic blazer and white trousers.

She opted to wear a pair of oversized sunglasses, a cream turtleneck with a jade green blazer and an ivory and brown back elegantly slung over her shoulder.

She paired this with a brown belt and some white skinny jeans, along with shoes that look almost identical to the flats worn by Meghan.

This isn’t the first time the Duchess has channeled her mother-in-law. During the tour in Nigeria, Meghan looked to her for inspiration when choosing her accessories.

Meghan sported chunky gold earrings from Lanvin, her AURate collar necklace and an array of dazzling bracelets, as well as her wedding rings.

The jewels resembled those worn by Diana when she visited Nigeria herself with her then-husband Charles, just two years before they separated.

Meghan added a bit more glamour by wearing Diana’s gold Cartier Tank Française watch.

The gold £17,800 watch was worn by Diana at a number of occasions, including a 1997 visit to London’s Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple and an engagement at the British Lung Foundation that same year.

Meghan is known to be a fan of the elegant timepiece and splurged on her own two-tone version back in 2015 when Suits was picked up for a third season.

Meghan has been gifted several items from Diana’s collection. They include Diana’s butterfly earrings and gold bracelet which she wore on their Australian tour in 2018.

Yet the watch is a favourite and she has been spotted wearing it often. The watch had been gifted to Diana by her father on her 21st birthday.

On May 10, Meghan was spotted wearing the AURate collar necklace with a chic white suit

Harry and Meghan were spotted arriving in Los Angeles on Monday after a marathon 18-hour flight from Nigeria amid a row over their charity’s operating status in California.

The couple, were pictured being whisked away by a car at Los Angeles International Airport’s ‘Private Suites’ facility.

The Duke and Duchess have called the semi-royal tour ‘fantastic’ and said it will be the ‘first of many memorable trips’ – which included a moment where Meghan hailed Nigeria as ‘her country’ after a DNA test suggested she was part-Nigerian.

They landed back in the United States a few hours before Californian authorities confirmed a ‘delinquency’ row involving their charitable endeavour, the Archewell Foundation, had been resolved following confusion over an unprocessed cheque.

California’s Department of Justice listed the charity, which brought in around $9million (£7.1million) less in donations in 2022 than it did the year before, as ‘not in good standing’ because of an alleged failure to pay a $200 renewal fee.

Harper Beckham supported her mother Victoria Beckham at an awards ceremony earlier this week at which the former Spice Girls member was herself honoured.

Victoria, 50, was among those celebrated at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards on Tuesday. She joined a host of other celebrities at the event, which was held at Claridge’s in London, and was accompanied by Harper, 13.

Harper is the youngest of fashion designer Victoria’s four children with retired footballer David Beckham, 49. The couple are also parents to sons Brooklyn Beckham, 25, Romeo Beckham, 22, and Cruz Beckham, 19, together.

At the awards ceremony, Harper introduced her mother on stage to collect the accolade for Entrepreneur of the Year. As reported by Harper’s Bazaar, she said: “The winner is someone I have always looked up to. [She’s shown] me the value of working hard, dreaming big and setting my standards. […] Tonight I am so proud to present the Entrepreneur Of The Year award to a truly inspiring woman who means the world to me, my amazing mummy, Victoria Beckham.”

Before accepting the award, Victoria said at the podium that Harper had given the introduction with “such poise and such elegance”. She then said to her daughter: “I am so proud of the incredible young lady that you have become.” It comes following reports that David and Victoria are preparing for Harper to have a career in the public eye in the future. The speculation comes amid the Sun reporting that Victoria has incorporated a business, H7B Limited, for the future and it’s been teased that Harper could land lucrative brand deals when she’s older.

A source told the Sun: “There is huge demand from brands who see her as someone lots of other teens would look up to. Posh and Becks can see her potential and she wants to try some things out in the public eye.” They added that the “wheels are in motion” to “slowly book some jobs” for Harper. Whilst a source also told the outlet: “Right now, this is purely an administrative thing.” They said that Harper’s parents have “no immediate plans” for anything “commercial,” with the source describing it as an “exciting” option for her in the future.

Prince Harry is reported to have opined that Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, possesses the qualities to lead the royal family into modernity, according to royal biographer Angela Levin.

 

 

In an interview with Uncancelled’s Dan Wooton, Levin delved into the couple’s perspectives on the monarchy’s need for updates and Meghan’s potential role in such a transformation.

Harry] thinks that it was very bad that Meghan wasn’t questioned about what should be done to make the royal family up to date,” Angela said in the interview published on Monday, April 8, about the dynamic Prince Harry and Meghan shared with the firm before they moved to California.

And [Meghan] said herself that she felt that they should have asked her what should be done rather than Kate because she is a self-made woman and she’s got much more experience,” she went on.

Levin, who spent considerable time with Harry while penning the biography “Harry: Conversations with the Prince,” also reflected on Queen Elizabeth II’s efforts to accommodate the Sussexes within the royal fold. The late queen’s concessions, including offering top aides and allowing Meghan the flexibility to continue her acting career, highlighted attempts to integrate Meghan’s preferences into royal life.

However, Levin suggests a premeditated plan by Meghan to exit the royal setting, fueled by ambitions extending beyond her royal title and financial expectations.

The biographer further critiqued the Sussexes’ motives, accusing them of aiming to dismantle the traditional royal framework and alter media dynamics, particularly the print press. Harry’s legal battles against media entities over privacy violations and defamation underscore his contentious relationship with the press, aligning with Levin’s portrayal of a broader strategy to reshape media engagement.

 

In a surprising turn of events, Prince William and Prince Harry have reportedly joined forces to expel Queen Camilla from the palace, fueled by newly surfaced evidence related to their mother, Princess Diana. This dramatic development has sent shockwaves through the royal family and raised questions about the stability of the monarchy.

 

 

The relationship between the brothers has often been a subject of intense public interest, especially in the wake of Harry’s departure from royal duties and his move to the United States. However, the emergence of this evidence seems to have rekindled a bond between William and Harry, united by their shared desire to protect their mother’s legacy. Sources close to the royals suggest that the evidence presented points to troubling interactions involving Camilla and the circumstances surrounding Diana’s life and untimely death.

As the details of this evidence began to circulate, it reignited old wounds for both princes. Diana, who was often portrayed as the “People’s Princess,” was beloved by the public but faced immense scrutiny and pressure from the royal institution. In the years following her tragic death in 1997, rumors and speculation about her relationship with Camilla have persisted, painting a picture of rivalry and betrayal that has never fully faded. Many believe that Camilla’s relationship with Charles played a significant role in the strain on Diana’s marriage, leading to a breakdown that was highly publicized and deeply painful for the royal family.

With the weight of this historical context, William and Harry’s decision to act against Camilla appears to be driven by a desire to honor their mother and rectify perceived injustices. Reports indicate that the brothers met privately to discuss their shared concerns, and they concluded that taking a stand against Camilla was necessary for their family and for Diana’s memory. This unprecedented alliance signifies a pivotal moment for the brothers, as they put aside past grievances in pursuit of a common cause.

The potential consequences of this alliance are far-reaching. For Camilla, being expelled from the palace would not only impact her role within the royal family but also affect her public image. Once regarded as a controversial figure, she has worked hard to establish herself as a respected member of the monarchy. However, this new alliance between William and Harry could threaten her position and lead to significant changes within the palace hierarchy.

The public reaction to these developments is likely to be mixed. Many royal watchers and fans of Diana may view William and Harry’s actions as a noble effort to protect their mother’s legacy, while others may criticize the brothers for their confrontational approach. The monarchy has long been a symbol of stability, and such internal conflicts could create a sense of uncertainty among the public, who often look to the royal family for unity and continuity.

Additionally, this incident raises broader questions about the future of the monarchy itself. As younger generations of royals grapple with their roles in a changing world, the handling of family disputes and the preservation of historical legacies become increasingly relevant. William and Harry’s actions may set a precedent for how personal and familial grievances are addressed within the royal context.

In conclusion, the reported alliance between Prince William and Prince Harry to kick Queen Camilla out of the palace amid evidence related to Princess Diana is a significant moment in royal history. This development not only highlights the enduring impact of Diana’s legacy but also underscores the complexities of family dynamics within the royal family. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the monarchy will navigate this crisis and what it means for the future of the institution.
