Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have caused a stir with their alleged swanky new home which they have purchased in Portugal. Some royal watchers speculate it’s a move to “pretend they’re still royals,” but the truth is far more personal for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Harry and Merghan have apparently snapped up a swanky pad on the sunny Iberian coast, which could bag them a “Golden Visa” for easy-peasy travel through the EU’s Schengen zone – and with a £6.5 million price tag, it really will be a golden ticket to the EU.Reports of the eye-watering house purchase come just after the Duke and Duchess, after stepping back from their royal duties, had to hand back the keys to Frogmore Cottage to King Charles. Despite claims about keeping up appearances, royal commentator Angela Levin has explained the “real reason” for purchasing a home in Portugal, pointing out that Harry spills the beans in his tell-all memoir ‘Spare’

Despite claims about keeping up appearances, the couple might be looking to get closer to the Royal who Meghan treats as her “sister,” according to ‘Spare’. Angela told GB News: “Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank [are] there and in Harry’s book, Spare, he said Meghan and Eugenie are like sisters.”

She added a pinch of scepticism, saying: “I’m not quite sure of that because in August [Princess Eugenie] said she wants to come back to the UK because she wants to give the children an English education and she wants to be with the family.

“Is that a way they (the Sussexes) can go around various countries in Europe and pretend that they’re still royals again? I don’t think there’s anything positive about that.”

Ms Levin commented that while Portugal might offer “sea and sand”, Meghan already has that “on her doorstep” in California, where she resides with Harry and their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, are known to have a close bond with Eugenie and Jack, who dwell an hour south of Lisbon at the swanky Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club, according to The Express. Last year, it was reported that following the Invictus Games, Harry and Meghan enjoyed a romantic getaway to Portugal, allegedly jetting off from Dusseldorf to Lisbon and then on to Melides.At that time, rumours circulated that the Sussexes were guests of Princess Eugenie and Mr Brooksbank. The Daily Mail cited Jose Santos, head of the Alentejo Tourism Board, confirming the visit by Harry and Meghan. Harry and Meghan’s current abode is a lavish Tuscan-style villa in Montecito, boasting features such as seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, plus a cinema, gym, and library.

A source close to Liam Payne has said that he did not commit suicide and could have been saved.

In the most comprehensive account of the One Direction star’s final hours, The Mail on Sunday has been told those closest to Liam believe if an ambulance had been called immediately when he collapsed in a Buenos Aires hotel lobby on Wednesday – rather than some time later when he was back alone in his third-floor room – he ‘would have lived.’

The source said: ‘Liam didn’t have to die. Liam didn’t want to die. He had promised us all he would never commit suicide. He was looking forward to the future.

‘If someone had called an ambulance when he collapsed in the hotel lobby instead of taking him back to his room and leaving him in there alone, in a psychotic state, he would still be with us.’

The source also revealed:

Liam had been ‘re-working’ his favorite One Direction track ‘Fireproof’ on his computer just hours before his death. 
He was in Argentina to renew his US visa and had passed medical and psychological tests days before which proved he was ‘totally clean.’ 
He was in ‘good spirits’ and had been planning to fly back home to girlfriend Kate Cassidy in Miami on Friday. 
His final meal was his favourite, chocolate-chip cookies.

The 31-year-old singer died instantly after plunging 45ft from his third-floor hotel room balcony onto the patio below at 5.04pm on Wednesday.

Police found drugs in his room including ‘cristal’, a potent hallucinogenic that causes blackouts and psychotic episodes.

The source said: ‘Where did Liam get the drugs when he had no money?’

Multiple police sources have said investigators believe someone in the hotel supplied him with drugs. There have been unconfirmed reports that the hotel conducted an internal probe and fired at least one employee.

Last night investigators told the MoS the probe into the star’s death ‘is ongoing’ but said charges against those who supplied the drugs ‘were imminent.’

Liam arrived in Argentina on September 30 with his girlfriend Kate and close friend Roger Nores. The source said: ‘Liam’s US visa was expiring and he had to leave America to renew it so he decided to go to Buenos Aires to see Niall Horan perform and get his new visa.’

But when Liam went to the US embassy in Buenos Aires the week before last he found officials had Googled him and discovered he had spent multiple stints in rehab for drugs and alcohol.

‘They ordered him to do medical tests, see a doctor, do bloodwork and x-rays and see a psychiatrist and that was all done the first week. Liam thought the trip would only last a few days but because of all the tests he ended up getting stuck there.’

After spending last weekend at a polo farm outside Buenos Aires, girlfriend Kate flew back to Miami on Monday to care for the couple’s dog while Liam checked into the CasaSur hotel.

‘He had no money and his credit cards weren’t working, so he was spending all his time in the room.

‘On Tuesday he asked for a McDonald’s. He was happy and in good spirits.

‘The test results all came back totally clean on Tuesday and he had an appointment at the embassy to get his passport stamped with the visa on Thursday and then he was going to leave Argentina immediately.’

The source said a family friend visited him around 10am that morning to deliver his favourite ‘American style’ chocolate-chip cookies from a bakery three blocks from the hotel.

‘He seemed a bit tipsy, like he had been drinking, but wasn’t in a bad state. He was happy.

‘He was replicating Fireproof on his computer. He loved recreating instrumentals and that was his favourite One Direction song. He was redoing the beat. He was in a good place, planning for the future, looking forward to going home to Miami to his girlfriend and his dog.’

A source close to Liam told the Mail on Sunday: ‘Liam didn’t have to die. Liam didn’t want to die. He had promised us all he would never commit suicide

Liam and his friend had coffee before the friend left.

The singer ordered whisky and champagne from the hotel bar before returning to his room.

Around 11am police say two prostitutes visited his room but left at 3pm after a row because he could not pay them cash.

Witnesses saw Liam arguing in the lobby with the women.

Around 3pm the hotel called Roger Nores, a friend of Liam’s, to report the singer was causing a disturbance in the lobby.

Mr Nores came and apologised to onlookers, telling them ‘he’s a really nice guy’ and took him to his room before leaving to run errands.

Hotel guest Brett Watson from Chicago told ITV that Liam came back down to the lobby several times. At one point he lay on a sofa in the lobby playing on his computer. Mr Watson said: ‘There was an incident where he was very frustrated and was smashing his laptop in the lobby.’

There have been reports that was in reaction to receiving a mystery email, but sources say they have ‘no idea’ what message may have caused Liam to explode. Mr Watson said: ‘The final time he came back down he actually passed out in the lobby of the hotel, looked like he was convulsing a little bit and had to be physically taken back to his room.’

The source said: ‘If Liam was convulsing. why didn’t the hotel call an ambulance immediately?

‘That is what no one can understand. He never convulsed before.

‘If he was that sick why did someone take him back to his room and leave him there alone, with an open door to the balcony?’

A hotel employee called 911 to report Liam was smashing up his hotel room before he fell

Funeral arrangements will be made once Liam’s body has been repatriated to the UK, which may take days

A hotel employee later called 911 to report Liam was smashing up his hotel room and to say they were worried he might jump.

The source said: ‘If they were worried he might jump, why didn’t someone go and sit with him? Why was he left alone?

‘Did they treat him differently because he was a celebrity? If he had been a regular person would they have called an ambulance? Maybe they were worried about a scandal.

‘If Liam was in a psychotic state he didn’t know what he was a doing. He could have been trying to leave his room and he went to the balcony thinking it was the room exit and accidentally fell.

‘We are tormented by the fact he was left alone in his room after he had convulsions and was clearly in a psychotic state.

‘There are so many questions. Who supplied the drugs to him? Why did they take him back and leave him alone in his room? That was stupid and reckless. Leaving a person having a psychotic breakdown alone in a room with an open balcony is like giving someone a loaded gun. He didn’t know what he was doing. He was out of it.

‘He may have been trying to leave the room.’

Liam’s father Geoff arrived in Buenos Aires on Friday to identify his son’s body. He was accompanied by long-time One Direction bodyguard Paul Higgins.

The source added: ‘The narrative so far has been wrong. People have been saying Liam relapsed on drugs and wanted to kill himself because his life was so bad. That wasn’t the case. He was in a good place

Funeral arrangements will be made once Liam’s body has been repatriated to the UK, which may take days.

The source added: ‘The narrative so far has been wrong. People have been saying Liam relapsed on drugs and wanted to kill himself because his life was so bad.

‘That wasn’t the case. He was in a good place. He was happy and making plans for the future with Kate who he loved. Someone gave him drugs and those drugs caused a psychotic event.

‘The tragedy is if someone had called an ambulance when he collapsed in the lobby and was convulsing, he would still be alive.’

Brits have been told to brace for a -5C icy blast with weather forecasts showing swathes of the country will be blanketed in snow soon.

Maps from WX Charts suggest winter wonderland scenes are weeks away, with some areas facing up to an 80% chance of snowfall Scotland is expected to bear the brunt on Monday, November 4, with the Highlands and Scottish borders most likely to see the white stuff. The northern Pennines in England could also get a dusting.

Jim Dale, senior meteorologist and founder of British Weather Services, said: “Colder yes, within a northerly airstream. Any snow at the moment is confined to the Scottish mountains, maybe higher northern Pennines. It’s a watching brief, as ever but snow in the south so early in the season is becoming a rare event.”

Maps show it will soon be chilly (

The Met Office’s longer-range forecast, covering Monday, November 4 to Monday, November 18, suggests a chilly change is on the horizon. Initially, high pressure might keep things settled, leading to frosty and foggy conditions that could linger, the Express reported..

“As such, there will be an increasing chance of rain or showers becoming more prevalent towards mid-November. Temperatures may initially be below average, but will probably recover closer to average with the onset of more unsettled conditions.”

The highest chance of snow is in Scotland and the north of England. ( 
Image:For now, however, the weather is looking a bit milder. The Met Office’s five-day weather forecast provides more details.

It predicts that this evening and tonight will remain “unsettled overnight with frequent showers or longer spells of rain affecting Northern Ireland and Scotland”. However, it also mentions that “elsewhere mostly dry with clear spells”.

It further notes: “Very windy this evening with severe gales in the north, but winds slowly easing towards dawn.

 

King Charles and Queen Camilla were visiting Parliament House in Canberra as part of their Australian tour when Senator Lidia Thorpe, an indigenous campaigner, burst into the Great Hall where the monarch had just given a speech and shouted ‘You’re not my King’

An indigenous politician has launched a verbal attack on King Charles and Queen Camilla as they entered Australia’s Parliament, accusing the royals of “committing genocide”.

Lidia Thorpe, an Aboriginal Australian independent senator for Victoria, approached Charles and Camillla after they took to the stage in front of politicians and digitatories. Dressed in indigenous dress and holding a piece of paper, she approached the stage as dumbfounded MPs and guests stood by, shouting “You are not my King”. Shouting at the King and Queen as royal protection officers attempted to lead her out of the building, Ms Thorpe said: “You committed genocide against our people. Give us our land back, give us back what you stole from us. Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people.

“You destroyed our lands, give us a treaty, we want a treaty in the country, you are a genocidalist. This is not your land, this is not your land, you are not my King, you are not our King.” She was also heard shouting “not my King” and “f**k the colony” as she was led out.

The King and Queen did not engage as the scene played out, instead turning to people next to them as music was played by an orchestra. She was ushered out of the room after around 30 seconds by security including the King’s protection officers.

In 2022, a month before the late Elizabeth II died, Ms Thorpe called her a ‘coloniser’ while being sworn in to parliament. She was forced to repeat the oath of allegiance for Australian parliamentarians as colleagues shouted: “You’re not a senator if you don’t do it properly.” Ms Thorpe, who last year split from the Green Party and became an independent MP citing the party’s lack of focus for indigenous rights, later called the ceremony “archaic and ridiculous”.

Afterwards, a planned royal walkabout outside the parliament lasted only a few minutes after the commotion inside the chamber. Dozens of people who had been waiting in the blazing Canberra sunshine since 8am to catch a glimpse of the King and Queen were left devastated after the royals spent less than 10 minutes saying hello to the crowds.

But a palace source denied it had been cut short due to the commotion inside the chamber and said the schedule had been running 15 minutes over.

They said: “Their Majesties were deeply touched by seeing and hearing the very many thousands who’d turned out to support them, and are only sorry they didn’t have a chance to stop and talk to every single one. The warmth and scale of the reception was truly awesome. While they are grateful to all the crowds, Their Majesties particularly enjoyed hearing individual stories of those who’d made such a special effort to be there.” A palace source also said about the protestor that the King was ‘unruffled’ and would “not let it overshadow what has otherwise been a wonderful day”.

Earlier in the day, Senator Thorpe was nearly arrested at an Indigenous protest outside the Australian War Memorial. A group Indigenous protesters were chanting “always was, always will be Aboriginal land” but kept well away from where the King and Queen appeared.

In a video circulating online, a police officer can be seen holding Senator Thorpe’s red shirt. Senator Thorpe then twists out of the shirt and walks away from the officer, who follows her. She left the protest and could later be seen inside Parliament, waiting for the arrival of the monarchs.

In a statement, the AFP said no arrests had been made from the incident. The Australian Federal Police said: “This morning, police spoke to a protest group near the Australian War Memorial. The group was directed to move on from the area and they complied with that direction. No arrests were made and police consider the matter finalised.”

Former prime minister Tony Abbott, who attended the event, expressed his dismay at the protest. “It’s unfortunate political exhibitionism, that’s all I’d say,” he said aftewards. Another of the guests, Victoria Cross recipient Keith Payne, was highly critical of Ms Thorpe for disrupting the reception. “I was absolutely amazed that she got through the door,” he said. “That was uncalled for and un-Australian.”

Payne, who was awarded the highest military honour for his service in Vietnam, was one of the guests who spoke with the King as the royal couple left the reception. Thorpe was a guest at the event as an elected Victorian Senator. Another guest, businessman Dick Smith, said the disruption was an aspect of Australian democracy. “I think that’s the wonderful part of our democracy — that she’s not going to be put in jail,” he said.

The ceremonies are rituals of welcome and protection, used to ward off bad spirits, cleanse people spiritually, and acknowledge ancestors and the land. The late Queen Elizabeth II witnessed the ceremonies during her own visits to Australia, but King Charles is thought to be the first monarch to actively take part. The monarch will visit National Centre of Indigenous Excellence in Sydney tomorrow. The royals also honoured two First World War Australian veterans from opposite ends of society when they visited the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

After Charles and Camilla left floral tributes in recognition of Australian Defence Force troops who paid the ultimate sacrifice they walked the short distance to the memorial’s roll of honour. A tradition has developed among family members of leaving a poppy against the names of their fallen relatives, listed on long walls in the memorial’s cloisters.

The King stepped forward to place a poppy alongside the name of Private William Punch an Aboriginal Australian tasked with manual work at the front who died in 1917 after being shot. While the Queen left her flower next to the name of the former Mayor of Auburn, Private William James Johnson, who was aged 44 when he enlisted and was shot and killed at the battle of Pozières.

Inside the memorial’s Hall of Memory, Charles laid a wreath at the foot of the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier alongside a floral posy placed by Camilla. As a bugler played The Last Post, the royals bowed their heads to observe as a minute’s silence was broken by the sound of Reveille.

Since the memorial was built in 1941, almost every royal visit to Australia has featured a formal wreath laying ceremony at the war memorial, built to commemorate the service and sacrifice of Australian Defence Force Veterans. In a separate ceremony, the King and Queen for the first time also marked the sacrifices of Indigenous Veterans at the new For our Country – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Memorial.

After leaving the hall, the King and Queen moved into the Commemorative Courtyard to sign the visitors’ book. As Australia’s most visited cultural institution, the memorial attracts millions of visitors each year who come to honour the service of defence force personnel.

Outside as Charles and Camilla were greeted by crowds in the hundreds, the King was left in “disbelief” after an alpaca dressed in a crown and suit with a golden bow tie sneezed on him as he went to say hello. Nine-year-old Hephner spectacularly fluffed his lines when he was introduced to the King outside the Australian War Memorial. When the King stroked his nose the animal left off a loud sneeze – provoking laughter.

Thousands turned out to greet the King and Queen – with fans waving flags and banners. The throng included Robert Fletcher bringing the alpaca – named Hephner as his mother was called Playgirl – on its lead to meet the King dressed in a gold crown and suit complete with a gold bow tie for the event.

Robert, of Goulburn, New South Wales, uses his alpaca as a support animal for charities and nursing homes. He said while waiting for Charles: “My wife found the crown and thought it was fitting. I think he loves his crown very much. He has lots of outfits but it’s a special day so he is in a suit and bow tie as well. Hephner has met a few famous people before but this is the King. He wants to meet the King.

Charles met crowds who gathered outside of the Australian Parliament House (

“He doesn’t bite and he doesn’t spit. He’s always on his best behaviour anyway. And he is a pro-monarchy alpaca.”

When Charles came close Robert shook his hand and introduced the King to the animal. But as the King gently patted him within seconds the alpaca let out a loud sneeze. Robert said afterwards: “I got to shake his hand and then Hephner sneezed. The King just looked in disbelief. But it’s just who Hephner is. He is an alpaca after all”.

The royal couple received huge cheers as they walked 200 metres from the Australian War Memorial Council Member and Australian Army Veteran, ‘Aunty’ Lorraine Hatton.

Meanwhile, in his speech at Parliament House, the King spoke of his “life shaping and life affirming” time as a teenager spent at school in Australia. For six months in 1966, Charles was shipped off to Victoria’s remote High Country and experienced the “best part” of his education.

The destination was Timbertop, Geelong Grammar’s year 9 campus where students board together in a program that puts emphasis on outdoor education. Charles told his hosts how he “deeply appreciated” the smoking ceremony at the RAAF’s Defence Establishment Fairburn on his arrival to Canberra.

Also there in the welcome party was Auntie Serena Williams, an elder from a local indigenous community, who performed a smoking ceremony – an ancient tradition which acknowledges the traditional ownership of the land – and Australia’s Federation Guard then gave a Royal Salute.

He said: “In my many visits to Australia, I have witnessed the courage and hope that have guided the nation’s long and sometimes difficult journey towards reconciliation. Throughout my life, Australia’s First Nations peoples have done me the great honour of sharing, so generously, their stories and cultures. I can only say how much my own experience has been shaped and strengthened by such traditional wisdom.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “really get into it in a big way” when they argue, a Kensington Palace aide has claimed.

Royal expert Tom Quinn has shared his private conversations with a Palace insider, who shared details of explosive rows between the Sussexes as well as dishing the dirt on Prince William and Princess Kate’s lives behind closed doors. The Royal author – who penned – Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family – shared what he learned in detail. He said: “Someone who worked for Kensington Palace told me they [William and Kate] do have rows. It’s not a perfect marriage. They have terrific rows.”

Speaking to the Express US Quinn then gave away the unique way in which William and Kate resolve their conflict as he explained “where some couples have a row and throw heavy vases at each other, William and Kate throw cushions at each other. It’s always kept under control. It doesn’t escalate. The fight doesn’t get bigger and bigger.”

However, according to his source when it comes to Harry and Meghan, things couldn’t be more different. They said: “When Harry and Meghan fight, they both really get into it in a big way.” Quinn believes that the quirky approach taken by William and Kate is thanks to the late Queen’s legacy. He described how Queen Elizabeth II lived by her mantra “never complain, never explain,” noting that while William and Kate have also taken on the mantra for their own lives, Harry and Meghan have distanced themselves from The Firm following their own trajectory.

 

 

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently hosted a private fundraising dinner in Indianapolis with the goal of raising money for their charity, Archewell. However, what was intended to be a high-profile event with a hefty price tag of $5,000 per ticket turned out to be a significant disappointment, as the turnout was much lower than expected. Despite planning for around 100 guests, photos from the event reveal rows of empty chairs, with only a small number of attendees present, estimated to be fewer than 30.

The high cost of attendance may have been a primary factor in the low turnout. Even for a brief interaction with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, $5,000 is a considerable amount of money. The lack of perks, such as the opportunity to take a selfie with the couple, further diminished the appeal for many potential attendees. Meghan and Harry had reportedly banned phones at the event, likely to prevent leaks of any sensitive information or images. However, this decision appears to have backfired, as many people were unwilling to pay such a high price without the chance to capture the moment.

Royal correspondent Murray Hogarth suggested that the poor turnout could be a sign that public enthusiasm for Harry and Meghan has waned. The couple, who have often voiced concerns about privacy and media intrusion, may have misjudged the extent to which people value such interactions. Without the promise of a photo or a memorable takeaway, many potential guests might have found it difficult to justify the steep ticket price.

Another factor that could have contributed to the event’s lackluster attendance is its location. While Indianapolis is a vibrant city, it is not known as a celebrity hotspot like New York or Los Angeles. Hosting such a high-ticket event in a smaller Midwestern market may have limited the pool of potential donors, especially those who might be willing to pay a premium for a charitable cause. The choice of venue likely played a role in the event’s underwhelming turnout.

In the end, the combination of a high price tag, a no-selfie policy, and the choice of location led to the event’s disappointing outcome. What was intended to be a successful fundraiser for Archewell turned into an expensive lesson for Meghan and Harry. The rows of empty seats at the dinner serve as a reminder that even high-profile figures like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex must carefully consider what they are offering in exchange for such significant financial contributions.

This event highlights the challenges the couple faces as they navigate their post-royal life, particularly in maintaining public interest and support for their initiatives. The miscalculation at this fundraiser underscores the importance of aligning the perceived value of an event with the expectations of potential attendees, especially when such high stakes are involved.

Meghan Markle’s demand for an inheritance from Prince Charles was ultimately cancelled due to various intricate factors that intersected within the realms of royal tradition, legal constraints, and personal dynamics.

The request, which may have seemed reasonable on the surface, triggered a series of deliberations and considerations that led to its eventual withdrawal. To unravel the complexities surrounding this issue, we need to delve deeper into the specifics of royal finances, the nuances of inheritances within the monarchy, and the broader implications of Meghan’s status as a member of the royal family.

First and foremost, it is crucial to recognize that the British royal family operates within a highly structured framework when it comes to financial matters. The funding sources for senior royals are primarily derived from the Sovereign Grant, which is allocated by the government and covers official expenses such as staff salaries, travel costs, and maintenance of royal residences. This system is designed to ensure transparency and accountability in the allocation of public funds to support themonarchy’s activities

.However, inheritances within the royal family are governed by a different set of rules and protocols. While it is not uncommon for members of the royal family to receive inheritances from their relatives, the specifics of such transactions are often shrouded in secrecy and subject to internal negotiations.

In Meghan Markle’s case, her request for an inheritance from Prince Charles raised eyebrows due to the unprecedented nature of the demand and the implications it carried for the established protocols within the royal household.

Moreover, Meghan’s status as a former senior royal who had stepped back from official duties further complicated the situation. Her departure from the royal fold had already sparked debates and speculation about her financial arrangements and future prospects within the royal family.Against this backdrop, her request for an inheritance from Charles could have been perceived as a calculated move to assert her financial independence and secure her position within the royal hierarchy.

Additionally, the personal dynamics between Meghan Markle and the members of the royal family cannot be overlooked in this context. Tensions and rifts that had emerged during her time as a working royal continued to cast a shadow over her interactions with the royal household.

The dynamics of power, influence, and reputation management played a significant role in shaping the responses to Meghan’s request for an inheritance, highlighting the complexities of navigating personal relationships within the royal family.

Ultimately, the decision to cancel Meghan Markle’s demand for an inheritance from Prince Charles was likely influenced by a combination of these factors. The need to uphold the traditional protocols and values of the monarchy, the complexities of financial arrangements within the royal household, and the personal dynamics at play all converged to lead to the withdrawal of the request.

While the specifics of the discussions and negotiations that took place behind closed doors may remain confidential, the broader implications of this episode shed light on the intricate web of relationships and power dynamics that define the world of the British royal family.

Meghan Markle’s demand for an inheritance from Prince Charles was cancelled due to a complex interplay of factors that encompassed royal traditions, legal constraints, and personal dynamics.

By examining the nuances of royal finances, the protocols of inheritances within the monarchy, and the broader implications of Meghan’s status as a former senior royal, we can gain a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics that shaped the outcome of this episode.
The cancellation of Meghan’s request serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges that accompany life within the royal family, highlighting the delicate balance between tradition, modernity, and personal agency in navigating the intricacies of royal life.

Meghan Markle reacts to The King’ decision to strip her Royal title

Meghan Markle warns King Charles, Prince William against royal title stripping

 

Meghan Markle has sent a message to King Charles and Prince William to not make a fool out of themselves by stripping her and Prince Harry’s royal titles.

A source close to the Duchess of Sussex has revealed what she thinks of reports about the monarch and Prince of Wales having discussions about removing her and Harry’s titles.

For the unversed, royal expert and author Tom Quinn has claimed Charles and William have been having lengthy discussions about doing something about the Sussexes’ titles.

However, the expert noted that “the last thing they want is to give the renegades something else to complain about.”

“William and his father know that even without their royal titles Meghan and Harry would carry on traveling the world as if they were royals and most people in the world will still welcome them.”

Issuing a warning to Charles and William, the insider said that Meghan is confident that the title stripping would only backfire on the royals.

“Charles and William are right to worry that stripping the rogue couple of titles would only result in them with egg on their face,” Meghan’s alleged mouth-piece said, as per Radar Online.

“To many people, who have no idea of royal protocol or even care, Harry and Meghan will always be ‘prince’ or ‘duke and duchess’ no matter what the king does,” the tipster continued.

“So stripping the titles would be a waste of time — and make Charles and William look like petty sore losers.”

Surprising Turn: Meghan Markle Taken Aback as King Grants Lady Louise HRH Title and £1.25M Diadem for Her 20th Birthday

Among the array of developments in the royal landscape, a recent revelation has left Meghan Markle taken aback.

The King’s decision to bestow a coveted HRH title upon Lady Louise, coupled with a staggering £1.25 million diadem grant to mark her 20th birthday, has sparked intrigue and conversation.

Meghan Markle Astonished as King Grants Lady Louise HRH Title and £1.25M Diadem on 20th Birthday

Among the array of developments in the royal landscape, a recent revelation has left Meghan Markle taken aback. The King’s decision to bestow a coveted HRH title upon Lady Louise, coupled with a staggering £1.25 million diadem grant to mark her 20th birthday, has sparked intrigue and conversation.
In a remarkable twist, Lady Louise Windsor, the granddaughter of the Queen, finds herself at the center of royal discussions. With the shifting dynamics within the royal family – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s withdrawal from official duties, and Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice embarking on their own marital journeys – an emerging vacancy for fresh and proactive royal figures seems apparent.

As Lady Louise Windsor approaches her 20th birthday this November, the anticipation surrounding her entrance into the realm of tiaras and royal traditions mounts. Unlike her elder cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who were adorned with tiaras only upon their wedding days, Lady Louise is poised to potentially challenge this customary timeline.

While there exists no strict guideline dictating the precise moment for a royal lady to don a tiara, a longstanding unspoken rule generally refrains younger royals from wearing them before the age of 18. This custom might soon see an exception as Lady Louise, known for her poise and sense of duty, steps onto the scene.

The decision to grant Lady Louise a tiara coincides with her mother Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh’s, regal journey. Sophie, having previously adorned the Amphibian Tiara, showcases how certain headpieces are bestowed upon royals, often carrying meaningful connections and tributes.

The Amphibian Tiara, utilizing the innovative amphibian technique, carries an estimated value of £1.25 million. Its significance lies not only in its artistic craftsmanship but also in its connection to the late Prince Philip, Sophie’s father-in-law. This tiara holds special resonance within the Duchess’s collection, representing both tradition and adaptation.

Meghan Markle Rebuked by Earl Spencer: Althorp House Archie Ownership Controversy

The legacy of Princess Diana continues to captivate the public, especially concerning the fate of her ancestral home, Althorp Estate. While Prince Harry and Prince William inherited much of Diana’s wealth and personal items following her tragic death in 1997, one significant property remains outside their reach. Instead of passing to them, the 500-year-old Althorp Estate, where Diana spent her formative years, is set to be inherited by their cousin, Lewis Spencer, Viscount Althorp.This surprising decision stems from the longstanding British aristocratic practice of primogeniture, where estates like Althorp typically pass to the oldest male heir. Despite having three older sisters, Lewis, as the son of Diana’s brother Charles Spencer, is designated to inherit Althorp Estate. This historic property not only holds sentimental value as Diana’s childhood home but also serves as her final resting place, making its future caretaker a matter of both personal and historical significance.Lewis Spencer, known for his privacy and talents as an actor, is quietly preparing to assume his responsibilities for Althorp. He has already begun attending trustee meetings, demonstrating his commitment to managing the estate with the same dedication his family has shown for generations. Unlike his royal cousins, Lewis prefers to keep a low profile, focusing on his career and family responsibilities away from the public spotlight.

The Spencer family’s adherence to primogeniture tradition means that despite their royal status, Prince Harry and Prince William do not have a claim to Althorp Estate. This custom underscores the enduring customs within British aristocracy, where lineage and gender play significant roles in property inheritance.

Rumors circulating about Meghan Markle’s purported interactions with the Spencer family regarding Althorp Estate have added intrigue to this story. Reports claimed she sought to discuss the possibility of inheriting the estate with Prince Harry, only to be turned down by Charles Spencer. Another rumor suggested tensions arose during a visit to Diana’s grave, although these claims remain unconfirmed.As Althorp Estate’s future unfolds under Lewis Spencer’s stewardship, it symbolizes not only Diana’s personal legacy but also the ongoing influence of British aristocratic traditions. His dedication to preserving the estate’s history and managing its affairs reflects a commitment to honoring his aunt’s memory while upholding centuries-old customs of inheritance and stewardship.
