TV presenter Sally Nugent was missing from BBC Breakfast on Monday morning, with co-host Jon Kay fronting the hit show alongside Sarah Campbell in a huge shake-up

Sally Nugent was absent from BBC Breakfast during Monday’s (September 30) show.

Her co-host Jon Kay was instead joined by Sarah Campbell on the iconic red sofa, with the pair going through the day’s news together.

Sally, 53, usually hosts BBC Breakfast with Jon, 54, from Monday to Wednesday each week. However, she was nowhere to be seen on Monday morning. The star was also absent earlier in the month, having jetted off on holiday.

Sarah is a regular guest presenter on BBC Breakfast, having worked for the BBC for over 20 years. She is a Royal correspondent, but also regularly covers news segments across TV and radio.

Sally isn’t the only one who has been absent from BBC Breakfast recently, as her co-star Naga Munchetty has also been missing from the BBC show. She was away on 28 September, as she usually hosts Saturday mornings with colleague Charlie Stayt.

Instead, Nina Warhurst filled in for Naga, who was away for reasons not made public. Nina, 43, didn’t see eye-to-eye with her co-host Charlie while they discussed a new travel gadget on Saturday’s show.

The debate kicked off with Charlie confessing that the topic had “prompted a little discussion in the studio already”, which made Nina chuckle, possibly foreseeing the spirited exchange ahead. They were discussing a nifty device designed to let travellers keep tabs on their luggage mid-flight, something Charlie wasn’t too keen on.

“I don’t think I want a tracker in my bag,” he declared, prompting Nina to question, “Do you not?” Charlie elaborated: “Main reason because if you’re constantly tracking it and you can literally see you’re going one way and the luggage is going to a completely different place, I just think that’s really annoying to know.”

But Nina saw things differently, arguing: “But knowledge is power. Then you can get ahead of it, you know where it is.” To which Charlie sharply responded: “Well, not if you’re on a plane going one way and it’s on a plane going the other way. There’s nothing you can do.”

“You’re just going to spend eight hours thinking about the fact that when you land your luggage is not there,” he told her. But his co-host was having none of it, firmly retorting: “No, I’d rather know. I would rather know.”

Eamonn Holmes shared his true thoughts on Phillip Schofield’s return to screens after it emerged he is set to appear on Channel 5’s Cast Away in a matter of days

Eamonn Holmes’ was caught giving a very telling reaction to the news Phillip Schofield is making a dramatic TV comeback.

The Irish broadcaster, 64, has been extremely vocal about his dislike for former This Morning co-star Phil, 62. When Phillip quit the daytime show and admitted to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a much younger colleague, Eamonn fumed on social media: “Schofield has finally been caught out” and branded ITV “The ministry of lies.

He also vented that he and his former wife Ruth Langsford had been “taken for fools” by Schofield after comforting him life on TV when he came out as gay. Eamonn said he had “felt used and ashamed” after his ITV colleagues had lied to him as he launched a number of furious tirades on social media.

Following the news that Phillip is making a return to TV on Channel 5’s Cast Away, Eamonn has shared his brutal reaction and it appears there’s still a hefty feud. Schofield’s dramatic decision, despite vowing to stay out of the limelight caused a stir on GB News’ breakfast programme.

Anchor Isabel Webster introduced the segment and the news didn’t go down too well with Webster, Eamonn and their guests. “Is this not just the chance for a narcissist to have more me time on screen?” fumed GP Dr Renee Hoenderkamp. She added: “I don’t want to know his story, I’m not interested in it. I know that he’s a celeb and people do seem to lap up any news, whether it’s good or bad but I think it’s time maybe he stayed on the island.”

Meanwhile, former Home Office Minister Norman Baker fumed: “So what? I don’t want to know about it, I’m not interested in it. Why is The Sun giving two pages to it? I suppose it sells papers but really, is that the most important thing in the papers?” Isabel interrupted adding: “Well, he was one of our most high-profile presenters in the country, he was married and he had two children when the scandal emerged, he lost all of his TV work including Dancing On Ice, he fell out with his one time best friend and co-host Holly Willoughby, who also quite frankly, didn’t she lose her job off the back of it all?” Isabel added that Schofield “had to leave social media” in the wake of his scandal.

“My heart bleeds,” fumed Baker, while Eamonn let out a chuckle. The broadcaster was heard adding: “Very good.” Phillip recently revealed he’ll be sharing his “story of survival” on the Channel 5 programme. Sharing still images, he penned: “Now you know how I spent my Summer! Alone for 10 days, no food, no water, no crew. My story of survival, both on a desert island and off it.”

Speaking about the show, he said: “This is most definitely a first for me and the only thing I felt compelled to do. It appealed to me on so many levels. I’ve recently had a lot of time to think about my life, what went right and what went wrong, but I’ve always had the safe arms of friends and family wrapped around me. This time it’s just me, no phone, no comforts, no crew and only lip balm as a luxury.

“I’m looking forward to exploring the island, trying to tie knots to secure my shelter and foraging and fending for myself in the wild … with no help. Maybe I’ll be Robinson Crusoe, or maybe I’ll just be Tom Hank’s Wilson and quietly drift off into the wild blue yonder!!”

Former ITV star Eamonn Holmes slammed Phillip Schofield and shared his ‘pride’ after ‘throwing him under the bus’

Eamonn Holmes tore into rival Phillip Schofield and said he is ‘proud’ to have been one of the people who ‘threw him under the bus’.

The GB News star is no stranger to sharing his dislike for the former This Morning presenter. After Phillip announced his TV return 16 months after he stepped down from his roles at ITV following an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a much younger colleague, Eamonn slammed the presenter during his morning show.He said: “I believe he is where he deserves to be,” before adding: “I am one of the people who threw him under the bus, I am very proud to have done it.” Eamonn went on: “This man is addicted to fame. Absolutely addicted to fame.” Eamonn’s rant came amid Phillip’s shock return to TV screens.

Last week, the former Dancing On Ice presenter announced he bagged a stint on Channel 5’s Cast Away – where he spent 10 days on a deserted island with nothing but a few cameras. When he first stepped down from his role over a year ago, he refuted claims he was “forced out” of This Morning and shared his regrets for lying to the channel, his colleagues and his wife.

However, after the star spent time alone on the island of Nosy Ankarea, off the coast of Madagascar, he said he felt “thrown under the bus”. In the programme, Phillip said when he started at the BBC as a booking clerk at 19, he first was able to go to the Television Centre, where ITV’s This Morning was later filmed, and he “loved being there”.

He added: “When what happened to me happened to me, it screwed up my favourite building in the world, and it pretty well blew away all those happy memories, and suddenly the place became hostile to me, and that was heartbreaking. And the people who did it to me, know, they know how important that building was to me. They know that when you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. Brand, ambition is not good enough. It’s not a good enough reason to throw someone under a bus.”

Sitting around the fire, he said: “I was just thinking there as I was collecting wood. There are only three sh*ts. One of them is a coward who never stepped up in queue-gate. One of them is a coward because they never stepped up when I was being battered by one journalist….and the other one is just brand-orientated. Not what you expect, not what you think you’re going to get. When it all came to a sudden and very abrupt end, questions were asked about our toxic environment in parliament!”

The former presenter went on to admit that there were a few “tricky people” but the toxicity was exaggerated. Using the alone time to air out his frustrations, he said: “When you’ve given so much to somewhere and been so loyal, to have absolutely no loyalty shown to you. I know what I did was unwise, not sensible. But is it enough to absolutely destroy someone? Literally destroy them.”

Meanwhile, Phillip, who insisted he doesn’t want to return to TV, was recently seen relaxing with friends at a pub in west London. The star was pictured sipping on champagne while rocking a button-up shirt and a blazer for the casual occasion.

Now, Meghan Markle, the former actress turned Duchess, is living her best life in sunny Los Angeles with Prince Harry and little Archie. Sou…

Now, Meghan Markle, the former actress turned Duchess, is living her best life in sunny Los Angeles with Prince Harry and little Archie. Sounds like a fairy tale, right? Wrong. Behind those designer sunglasses and million-dollar smiles, there’s a storm brewing that’s about to blow the roof off the Sussex household.

I’ve been covering the Royals for years, and I’ve seen my fair share of scandals, but this one takes the cake, frosting, and the whole damn bakery. We’re talking about a mother-daughter relationship so fractured it makes the San Andreas fault look like a hairline crack.

 

Remember Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mom, the one who was all smiles at the royal wedding looking proud as punch? Well, word on the street is that Doria has gone from supportive mom to, well, let’s just say she’s not exactly speed-dialing her daughter these days.

 

I’ve got sources, and trust me, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill gossip mongers, telling me that Doria is so fed up, so done with Meghan’s antics, that she’s considering the unthinkable. Are you ready for this? Doria Ragland, mother of the year, is apparently on the verge of publicly disowning her own daughter.

 

I know, I know, it sounds crazy, right? But in the world of Meghan Markle, crazy is the new normal. Now, you might be thinking, “But come on, a mother wouldn’t do that to her own child.” And normally, I’d agree with you. But we’re not dealing with normal people here; we’re dealing with a royal mess of epic proportions.

So, what’s pushed Doria to this breaking point? Well, grab your popcorn because this is where it gets good. First off, let’s talk about the Oprah interview. You remember that little televised chat that sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace? Yeah, that one. Apparently, Doria wasn’t just shocked; she was mortified. My sources tell me that Meghan didn’t give her mom a heads-up about the bombshells she was about to drop. Imagine Doria sitting at home watching her daughter air all the royal dirty laundry on national television. Talk about a “Mom, you’re embarrassing me” moment, but in reverse.

But it’s not just the Oprah interview. No, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s talk about Meghan’s relationship with her father, Thomas Markle. Now, I know family drama is nothing new, but the Markle family puts the “fun” in dysfunctional. Thomas Markle, bless his heart, has been more vocal than a rooster on a megaphone. He’s been spilling tea left and right, and it’s left Meghan in a pretty sticky situation.

But here’s the kicker: my sources say that Doria is actually siding with Thomas on this one. Can you believe it? The woman who stood by Meghan’s side at her wedding is now, apparently, Team Thomas. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But how could a mother turn her back on her own daughter like that?” Well, buckle up, buttercup, because it gets even juicier.

Word on the street is that Doria is fed up with Meghan’s diva behavior. Apparently, the whole “what Meghan wants, Meghan gets” attitude didn’t sit well with Mama Ragland. My sources tell me that Doria has been trying to give Meghan some much-needed reality checks, but our dear Duchess isn’t having any of it.

But wait, there’s more. Remember how Meghan and Harry moved to LA supposedly to be closer to Doria? Well, plot twist: it turns out that living in the same city doesn’t mean much when you’re holed up in a multi-million dollar mansion. My sources say that Meghan’s been giving her mom the cold shoulder, and Doria’s patience is wearing thinner than the Queen’s teacups.

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room—or should I say the baby in the nursery? Little Archie, innocent in all this drama, is apparently at the center of this whole new storm. Doria, like any grandmother, wants to be a part of her grandson’s life, but according to my sources, Meghan’s been keeping Archie under lock and key. We’re talking Fort Knox-level security here, people, and Doria? She’s lucky if she even gets a FaceTime call once in a blue moon.

But here’s where it gets really interesting. Remember Meghan’s children’s book, *The Bench*, the one about the special bond between fathers and sons? Well, rumor has it that this little literary venture was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Doria. Here’s Meghan writing about fatherhood while her own relationship with her father is more toxic than a chemical spill. The irony wasn’t lost on Doria, and apparently, it led to a massive blowout between mother and daughter.

But aren’t you being a bit harsh? Meghan’s been through a lot.” And you’re right, she has. But here’s the thing: being a royal, even an ex-royal, comes with responsibilities. It’s not just about the tiara and fancy titles; it’s about representing something bigger than yourself. And from where I’m sitting, it looks like Meghan’s forgotten that little detail.

We’re not just talking about a family tiff; this is about the very foundation of the monarchy. Meghan and Harry’s exit from royal duties wasn’t just a career change; it was a seismic shift in the royal landscape. And now this family drama is playing out like a soap opera, adding fuel to an already raging fire.

But here’s where it gets really interesting. My sources tell me that the royal family—yes, the same one Meghan and Harry left behind—is watching all this unfold with bated breath. And guess what? They’re not just sitting on their royal laurels. Oh no, they’re taking action. Word on the street is that the palace is reaching out to Doria. Yes, you heard that right. The royal family, in all their centuries-old wisdom, sees an opportunity here. They’re apparently offering Doria a shoulder to cry on, a sympathetic ear, and who knows, maybe even a chance to mend fences.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But come on, the royal family wouldn’t meddle like that.” But let me tell you something: when it comes to protecting the monarchy, there is no limit to what they’ll do. And right now, Meghan and Harry are the biggest threats to their carefully cultivated image since, well, the last royal scandal.

So, what does this mean for Meghan? Well, if my sources are correct—and they usually are—she’s in for a rude awakening. Imagine waking up one day to find that your own mother has not only turned her back on you but is cozying up to the very institution you’ve been railing against. Talk about a plot twist.

But let’s take a step back for a moment. Is this all Meghan’s fault? Is she really the villain in this royal drama, or is she just a woman caught between two worlds, trying to navigate an impossible situation? Here’s my take, and remember, I’ve been in this game for a long time: Meghan Markle walked into the royal family thinking she could change centuries of tradition overnight. She wanted to be a princess on her own terms, and when that didn’t work out, she decided to take her ball and go home. But here’s the thing: you can’t just walk away from the royal family. It’s not a job you can quit; it’s a life, an identity, a legacy. And now Meghan’s finding out the hard way that actions have consequences. She thought she could have it all—fame, fortune, freedom—but as she’s learning, freedom comes at a price, and that price might just be her relationship with her mother.

So, what’s next for the Duchess of Sussex? Will she mend fences with Doria? Will she reconcile with the royal family, or will she double down, burning bridges left and right? One thing’s for sure: this drama is far from over, and you can bet your bottom dollar that I’ll be here bringing you all the juicy details as they unfold.

But here’s a thought to leave you with: in all this chaos, all this drama, let’s not forget that at the heart of it is a family—a mother, a daughter, a grandmother, and a grandson. Maybe, just maybe, if we can remember that, we might find a little compassion in our hearts for all involved.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are proud parents of two royally adorable children.

The couple, who were married in May 2018, welcomed their first child, son Archie Harrison, in 2019 while they were still senior members of the royal family. In January 2020, they stepped back from their duties and later moved to Santa Barbara, California, where they had a daughter, Lilibet “Lili” Diana, in June 2021.

 

Prince Harry and Meghan retain their royal titles, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but they don’t use them in daily life or carry out work on behalf of the royal family. Instead, Harry and Meghan are focused on initiatives like their charitable work through the Archewell Foundation, with which they support access to education, women’s empowerment and fighting racial injustice.

While Harry and Meghan’s life at home with their kids in California is more relaxed than their previous routines as working royals, the Duke of Sussex has said that being parents of two is “definitely a juggle.”

Archie and Lili did not receive the titles of prince and princess when they were born because they were great-grandchildren of the monarch. Though Archie was entitled to the “courtesy title” of Earl of Dumbarton upon his birth, his parents chose not to give him a courtesy title at that time.

Meghan previously told Oprah Winfrey that she would have accepted a title for Archie at birth if it had offered him security and “meant he was going to be safe.”

“And it’s not our decision to make,” she said. “Even though I have a lot of clarity of what comes with the titles, good and bad … that is their birthright to then make a choice about.”

Once their grandfather King Charles became monarch, Archie and Lili were afforded the titles of prince and princess. The royal family’s official website was updated to reflect the children’s new titles of Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet Diana in March 2023.

Archie and Lili’s names were updated again in February 2024 when Harry and Meghan adopted Sussex as their family surname. Officially, their names are now Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.

In his memoir Spare, Harry wrote that he hopes that his children will have a meaningful relationship with the royal family.

“I’ve said before that I’ve wanted a family, not an institution — so of course, I would love nothing more than for our children to have relationships with members of my family, and they do with some, which brings me great joy,” Harry explained further to PEOPLE in January 2023.

A month later, Harry told Good Morning America how “grateful” he is to be a dad.

“The kids are growing up like all kids do … very, very fast. They’ve both got an incredible sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day,” he told the outlet.

From the arrival of their firstborn to their low-key family life in California, here’s everything to know about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s two kids.

Harry and Meghan’s first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor, now Prince Archie of Sussex, was born on May 6, 2019, in London, England. “He has the sweetest temperament,” Meghan shared of her son while introducing the newborn to the world shortly after his birth. “He’s really calm.”

Meghan later revealed that the couple almost named their son Harrison before deciding on Archie, a shortened version of the name Archibald, meaning genuine and bold or brave. They instead made Harrison his middle name, which originated in the Middle Ages as a patronymic meaning “son of Henry” or “son of Harry.”

Prince Archie of Sussex: All About Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Son
When he was only 4 months old, Archie joined his parents on a visit to South Africa, where he met anti-apartheid activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Meghan later shared that a fire broke out in the nursery where Archie was staying during the trip, and despite being “shaken” by the incident, the couple had to quickly leave their son for another scheduled engagement. Not long after the visit, Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back from royal duties and split their time between the U.K. and North America.

Harry reflected on how his decision to step back from his royal duties to focus on being a father was particularly meaningful to him in light of his own mother’s experience raising children in the spotlight.

“I have no doubt that my mom would be incredibly proud of me. I’m living the life that she wanted to live for herself, living the life that she wanted us to be able to live,” Harry said in his docuseries The Me You Can’t See, co-created with Winfrey. “So not only do I know that she’s incredibly proud of me, but that she’s helped me get here. And I’ve never felt her presence more as I have done over the last year.”

On the show, Harry also revealed that there’s a picture of Princess Diana hanging in Archie’s nursery, and that one of his first words was “grandma,” after “mama,” “papa” and “crocodile.”

Harry and Meghan are also emphasizing the importance of moral character with their son. “When I talk to my son Archie about what he wants to be when he grows up, some days it’s an astronaut, other days it’s a pilot — a helicopter pilot obviously,” he said at the opening of the 2022 Invictus Games, an international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemembers and veterans.

“But what I remind him is that no matter what you want to be when you grow up, it’s your character that matters most, and nothing would make his mum and me prouder than to see him have the character of what we see before us today.”

Meghan echoed this sentiment during an interview with The Cut in August 2022. “We always tell him: ‘Manners make the man. Manners, manners, manners, manners, manners,’ ” she explained.

Word on the street is thɑt things mɑy not be going so well finɑnciɑlly for the Duchess of Sussex ɑnd her ρie-in-the-sky Hollywood dreɑms.

Royal glory or business as usual? Nobody’s quite sure what happens when your daughter becomes queen — but it appears that Carole and Michael Middleton are going to find out.

What will happen to Catherine’s parent if she eventually becomes Queen? The extent of their contribution and investment in their daughter’s life cannot be trivialized, which begs the question: will they be honored if she ascends to the throne?

With endless controversy and speculation surrounding Middleton’s middle-class background, the royal family’s strict rules present a potential obstacle to such recognition.

Catherine is married to the Prince and holds the title of the Princess of Wales, and the prospect of becoming queen now appears feasible.

So, what will become of her parents? What will be their fate? Will they take up any formal royal titles or duties or continue to be humiliated because of their background? Join us as we explore this complex and intriguing situation in detail.

As the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine Middleton, inches closer to becoming Queen Consort, a fascinating question emerges: What Will Happen To Middleton’s Parents When She Becomes Queen? Traditionally, the conferring of titles has been reserved for members of the royal family or those who have rendered exceptional service to the monarchy. Despite the Middleton’s undeniable support for their daughter and Services to the crown behind the scenes. This remains a subject of speculation among royal fans. Join us as we reveal the answer to this question and put to rest the speculations.

Everyone loves a classic fairytale story, and that’s one of the reasons why Catherine Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has received so much love from around the world. Catherine’s journey from a middle class girl to the future queen consort has captured the world’s attention. As she prepares for her role as queen, many people wonder what will happen to her family, especially her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. Carole and Michael have played a very big role in Catherine’s life by offering support throughout her rise to royalty. Despite their important influence, there are still questions about whether they will receive any titles or formal roles when Catherine becomes Queen. Will they finally get royal honors? Or will they remain as they are? Let’s find out!

While Prince William might have a better relationship with his father King Charles now, that hasn’t always been the case.

In fact, there was a time when the Prince of Wales was much closer to Kate Middleton’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, than to the King of England. And it seems like there was a good reason for it, too.

This Is The Reason Why Prince William Is So Close With Michael Carole Middleton

That’s because the Middletons managed to take Prince William under their wing while King Charles was just a little too busy for his son. At least, that’s how one royal author is putting it.

As many royal fans know, Prince William and Kate Middleton got married in 2011, but they were dating on and off for more than a decade.

During that time, the Prince of Wales got to know Kate’s family and grew particularly close to her parents. And for that reason alone, it seems like William is very grateful to them.

Royal Family News – What’s Next For Prince William?

One source close to the situation even put it this way, “They took him [Prince William] under their wing from the very beginning and provided the kind of family atmosphere he had never had and probably yearned for.”

“Lots of laughs, lots of family games and sharing of outdoor pursuits as a family. Just being there for him when his own father was far too busy and unable to provide this.”

“This has made him very ‘family conscious’ which was exactly what King Charles wanted for him as he never had it himself.”

And while the Middletons might have somewhat of an influence over Prince William, it’s not as strong as the one that the monarchy still has over him.

“The royal side will always come out on top however influential your family is or has been. William is very family-minded because of this but he can’t beat the system.”

So far Prince William himself has not made any comments about the matter, although at this point it’s doubtful that anything will be said. Drop us a line with your thoughts in our comments section below.

Clash of the Titans Hugh Jackman Unleashes Scathing Attack on Prince Harry Over Movie Role Request. The usually affable and charming Hugh …

Clash of the Titans Hugh Jackman Unleashes Scathing Attack on Prince Harry Over Movie Role Request. The usually affable and charming Hugh Jackman stunned onlookers today during a press conference for his latest film, *Deadpool and Wolverine*, when he unleashed a blistering attack on British royal Prince Harry. Jackman called Harry a “wacko” and told him to “go back to his family in the UK and ask for forgiveness.”

The unexpected outburst came after reports surfaced that Prince Harry had reached out to Jackman’s team, requesting a role in the highly anticipated superhero crossover movie. Jackman, who has played the iconic Wolverine character for over 20 years, was having none of it.

“Who does this guy think he is, just waltzing in and demanding a part in my movie?” Jackman fumed, his usually friendly demeanor replaced by palpable anger. “He’s not an actor; he’s a prince and a troublemaker at that. If he wants to play dress-up, he can go back to Buckingham Palace and put on one of his silly costumes. This is a job for real professionals, not some washed-up royal looking for attention.”

The crowd of reporters sat in stunned silence as Jackman continued his tirade, visibly frustrated by the mere suggestion of Prince Harry’s involvement in the film.

“I’ve busted my ass for years to become the best damn Wolverine I can be, and I’ll be damned if some entitled, scandal-prone princeling is going to waltz in and try to steal my thunder,” Jackman declared. “This is my movie, my character, and my legacy. Harry needs to go back to the UK, beg his family for forgiveness, and leave the acting to the professionals.”

When pressed for further details on the rift between the two public figures, Jackman remained tight-lipped, simply stating, “I don’t have time for drama and nonsense. I’m here to make a great movie, not babysit some overprivileged royal who thinks he can do whatever he wants.”

The outburst has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with many fans and industry insiders weighing in on the unexpected clash between the two celebrities. Some have praised Jackman for his unwavering commitment to his craft, while others have criticized him for his harsh and unprofessional response.

“Hugh Jackman is usually such a class act, so to see him lose his cool like that is really surprising,” said movie critic Emily Chun. “I get that he’s protective of his signature role, but calling Prince Harry a wacko and telling him to go back to the UK seems a bit over the top. There’s definitely more to this story than we’re seeing.”

Others, however, have rallied behind Jackman, arguing that he has every right to defend his legacy and the integrity of the Wolverine character he has so carefully cultivated over the years.

“Hugh Jackman has poured his heart and soul into being Wolverine, and I can understand why he wouldn’t want some celebrity interloper trying to muscle in on that,” said longtime Marvel fan James Rodriguez. “Prince Harry may be a royal, but that doesn’t automatically make him a great actor. Jackman’s got a point; if Harry wants to be in movies, he should probably start at the bottom like everyone else.”

To understand the depth of Jackman’s reaction, it’s important to look at his long and storied history with the Wolverine character. When the first X-Men movie hit theaters in 2000, Jackman was a relative unknown, plucked from obscurity to take on the role of the gruff, adamantium-clawed mutant. At the time, many fans were skeptical about the casting choice, as Jackman’s lanky frame and boyish good looks didn’t exactly scream berserker rage.

But the Australian actor quickly won over audiences with his raw intensity, physical prowess, and ability to capture Wolverine’s complex blend of animalistic ferocity and underlying humanity. Over the next two decades, Jackman would go on to star in a total of nine X-Men and Wolverine solo films, cementing his status as one of the most iconic and beloved comic book movie characters of all time.

“This role has defined my career, and I’ve poured my heart and soul into it,” Jackman said in a 2021 interview. “Wolverine isn’t just a character to me; he’s a part of who I am. So when someone like Prince Harry comes along and thinks they can just waltz in and take that away, it’s a real kick in the gut.”

According to sources close to the production, Prince Harry’s interest in the *Deadpool and Wolverine* project first surfaced earlier this year, shortly after the film was announced. The 39-year-old royal, who has dabbled in acting over the years with minor roles in a few TV shows and films, allegedly reached out to Jackman’s team to express his desire to be involved in the highly anticipated super

Prince Harry’s recent polo match in Singapore, held to raise funds for disadvantaged young people affected by HIV and AIDS, failed to draw much attention from the public. The event, part of his charity Sentebale’s ongoing efforts, took place on August 12, 2023. Harry played alongside longtime friend and Argentine polo star Nacho Figueras, but despite their efforts, the stadium remained largely empty, with many ticket holders reportedly returning their passes before the match.

The charity event was intended to generate proceeds through ticket sales, with the funds earmarked to benefit Sentebale, the charity Harry co-founded in 2006. However, according to local reports, the turnout was underwhelming, leading many to question the effectiveness of the event in raising money for its cause. One local magazine noted that there was “no crowd” present, leaving the match devoid of the excitement and atmosphere typically associated with charity sports events.

The match, which ended in a 7-7 draw between Harry’s Royal Salute Sentebale team and a Singapore-based club led by Figueras, was still completed, with both Harry and Figueras scoring. Despite this, the event’s apparent failure to attract spectators has raised questions about the relevance of polo as a charity sport in Southeast Asia, where the sport is not widely followed or supported.

Local critics suggested that the decision to host a polo match in Singapore, a small nation with little connection to the sport, may have been a misstep. Polo is often seen as a sport of the wealthy elite, and the event’s failure to resonate with a broader audience in Singapore highlighted this cultural disconnect. The absence of local engagement further underscored concerns about the planning and execution of the event.

The low turnout has drawn inevitable comparisons to Prince William’s upcoming trip to Singapore later in the year for the Earthshot Prize, an environmental initiative that has garnered significant attention and praise. Royal watchers predict that William’s visit will be more successful in terms of public reception and engagement, in stark contrast to Harry’s quiet appearance at the polo event.

Some have speculated that Harry’s trip was an attempt to preemptively make an impact in Singapore before his brother’s arrival. However, the stark difference in public interest between the two royal brothers’ initiatives has only highlighted Harry’s struggles to maintain the same level of visibility and relevance. The event’s poor turnout and lack of local interest raise questions about how effective such charity events can be when the chosen sport and location do not resonate with the local population.

Ultimately, while the match itself may have been played in good spirits, the overall execution of the event left much to be desired, leaving many to wonder if the money spent on logistics outweighed the funds raised for the charity.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s five-part documentary series about polo has reportedly left Netflix executives ‘unhappy’ as it features very little of him

Prince Harry seems to have ruffled feathers at Netflix with his latest project for the streaming service, amid rumours of growing tensions.

Reports surfacing today suggest that the Duke of Sussex has somewhat disappointed his Netflix chiefs due to his limited presence in a new five-part documentary series exploring the elite realm of international polo.

The series, which was anticipated to feature Prince Harry prominently, is said to be centred on his polo-playing pal Nacho Figueras, with Harry himself barely making an appearance. This development follows an £80million deal inked with Netflix, where executives likely envisioned a treasure trove of personal content and revelations.

According to the Daily Mail, the documentary focuses less on Harry and more on the charismatic Figueras, an Argentinian polo star often referred to as ‘the David Beckham of polo’. While Figueras is a celebrated figure within polo circles, he lacks the widespread allure of Harry and Meghan, leading to disappointment among Netflix bosses regarding the show’s final cut, as it spotlights the lesser-known sportsman.

A source allegedly disclosed to the publication that Netflix had hoped for “more bang for its buck” from the deal with the Duke, reports the Mirror.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the power couple behind the production company Archewell, are set to release a new series titled ‘Polo’ this December. The show is one of the select projects that have come to fruition following their whopping $100million deal with Netflix for multiple shows back in 2020.

Despite the high expectations, insiders have cheekily dubbed it ‘the Nacho Show’.

A Hollywood producer expressed disappointment to the publication, saying: “What Netflix have received in return doesn’t look great. People want personal stuff. Apart from their documentary series, which had the drama of them quitting the Royal Family, everything else they’ve produced has been underwhelming.”

The same source lamented the lack of Prince Harry’s presence in the polo-themed series: “Any reasonable person tuning into a show about polo made by Prince Harry would expect Harry to take a starring role. That he’s not is hugely disappointing for Netflix. Let’s face it, polo isn’t exactly a mainstream sport so the attraction would have been watching Harry. Without him, it’s marginal at best.”

With the Netflix contract set to expire next year, the pressure is on for the Sussexes to deliver a hit. Yet, the insider branded the upcoming series as “The Netflix deal expires next year, so the Sussexes need a big hit. This sounds like a big nothing burger.”

Another source highlighted the absence of Royal allure in the show about the sport of kings: “For a show about a sport of Kings, polo barely features any royalty. It’s not the Harry show, it’s the Nacho show.”

Furthermore, another comment reportedly made to the paper critiqued the choice of focus: “Nice of Harry to do his mate a favour, but Nacho speaks broken English and is just not mainstream enough to pull in the ratings.”
