That’s if everyone feels the same way about it as Inter Miami owner and football icon David Beckham, who could not hide his delight at the vintage-inspired strip.

The club announced the kits’ launch in a post shared across their social media platforms,

which shows superstar captain Messi donning the teal-striped jersey, which features a white and orange trim.

With the city name printed across the chest in an Art Deco font, a nod to the iconic Miami Vice television series, the stylish number forms part of MLS’ all-new ‘Archive Collection’.

In collaboration with manufacturer Adidas, five of the league’s teams have been assigned retro-style third kits,

with LAFC, LA Galaxy, Sporting Kansas City and the Portland Timbers the other lucky recipients.

Each design draws on the club’s history and the city they represent, as the vibrant colours of the Inter Miami strip reflect that of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.

And franchise owner Beckham was quick to promote the new release, as he took to Instagram to signal his approval.

Alongside a photo of Messi in the kit, the Manchester United and England legend wrote: “I mean we have some great jerseys @intermiamicf ridiculously cool.”

It will surely not be long before the popular piece of kit sells out, if the past success of Inter Miami merchandise is anything to go by.

In June, the MLS announced that Messi’s iconic number 10 shirt had ranked as the league’s top-selling Adidas jersey for the second year in a row.

The arrival of the Argentine superstar in the Herons’ set-up in July 2023 has resulted in a surge in the popularity for the US top-flight, which has brought with it significant financial benefits too.

Reports have indicated a remarkable 17 per cent growth in league sponsorship and a 15 per cent increase in club sponsorship revenue during this time.

Inter Miami’s first team players will debut the third kit on Saturday, July 20 during the match against Chicago Fire FC.

It may be a while before Messi dons the trendy new kit on the pitch however, after he was forced to leave the field early with a nasty-looking ankle injury in Argentina’s recent Copa America final win.

In a shocking turn of events within the British royal family, Prince William ascended to the throne following the passing of his father, King Charles III. Almost immediately after becoming king, William made a bold and unprecedented move by expelling Queen Camilla from the royal family. According to reports, William confronted Camilla, stating firmly, “You are not my mother,” as he ordered her removal from royal duties and residence. This decision has sent shockwaves through the monarchy and the public, reigniting long-standing tensions surrounding Camilla’s role within the royal family.

The relationship between William and Camilla has always been a subject of speculation and, at times, controversy. Camilla’s marriage to King Charles, following the death of Princess Diana, William’s beloved mother, has been a sensitive issue for the family. Despite Charles and Camilla’s marriage in 2005, many have long wondered how William and his brother, Prince Harry, truly felt about their stepmother. This decisive action by King William suggests that any hopes of reconciliation or a warm relationship with Camilla may have been more strained than previously believed.

Camilla, who had been Queen Consort alongside Charles, played a significant role in royal affairs during her husband’s reign, but her position was always controversial given her history with Charles during his marriage to Princess Diana. Her expulsion by William marks a stark departure from the efforts made by King Charles to integrate her fully into the royal family and solidify her public image.

Public reactions to William’s decision have been mixed. While some have praised his loyalty to his late mother and his assertiveness as the new king, others have expressed concern about the impact this could have on the stability of the monarchy. Camilla, despite the initial public backlash, had gradually earned a measure of respect for her charitable work and commitment to her royal duties. Her sudden removal has raised questions about the future direction of the royal family under William’s leadership.

As King William begins his reign, this early action sets a tone of decisiveness and signals a potential shift in the way he plans to govern the monarchy. The expulsion of Camilla is likely to have lasting implications for the family’s dynamics and public image, as the new king seeks to define his own legacy, distinct from that of his father’s.

In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry’s polo match in Singapore on August 12th received little to no attention from the local audience.

Despite the noble cause behind the event, which aimed to support disadvantaged young people affected by HIV and AIDS, the stadium remained empty as spectators returned their tickets.

This unexpected outcome raises questions about the success of the charity event and the lack of interest from the Singaporean community.

 

The Duke of Sussex, known for his philanthropic efforts, took part in the sporting event for his charity, Centrebell.

 

Riding for the Royal Salute Centrebell team, he played against a Singapore-based club led by Argentinian polo player Nacho Figueras, who also serves as the charity’s ambassador.

The match ended in a draw, with both Harry and Figueras showcasing their skills on the field.

Following the game, the Duke was presented with a trophy to commemorate his participation.

However, despite the presence of esteemed players and the charitable nature of the event, the absence of a crowd raises concerns about the effectiveness of the fundraising aspect.

Initially, the plan was to utilize ticket sales proceeds to reward the winning team.

Yet, with no spectators in attendance, it remains unclear who the organizers expected to receive donations from.

 

 

 

This puzzling situation suggests that the wealthy elite may have opted to stay home instead of attending the event.

Singapore, known for its cleanliness and efficiency, lacks a strong polo culture.

With limited land and a small population, the sport does not resonate with the majority of locals.

Moreover, the absence of historical ties to polo further diminishes its appeal.

Instead, art shows and air-conditioned venues are more typical forms of entertainment in the city-state.

Consequently, the decision to hold a polo match in Singapore seems out of place and raises questions about its relevance to the local community.

Furthermore, the lack of Asian participants in the event raises suspicions about its true intentions.

Despite being held in Asia, the majority of the participants were non-Asian.

This disparity gives the impression that the event was merely a PR stunt, using the Asian backdrop as a prop.

This perception, coupled with the minimal interest from the Singaporean audience, does not bode well for the success of Prince Harry’s endeavor.

In contrast, Prince William’s upcoming trip to Singapore is expected to receive a warm reception.

His visit will focus on the Earthshot campaign, a popular and successful initiative.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are anticipated to engage genuinely with their host nation, ensuring a respectful and appropriate execution of their activities.

It is likely that William’s trip will overshadow Harry’s, further highlighting the disparity in public interest between the two brothers.

Local news reports indicate that 260 individuals left the stadium before the match even began, emphasizing the lack of enthusiasm surrounding the event.

Video clips of the match also confirm the absence of spectators, leaving many puzzled as to how the event managed to raise funds for the charity.

Considering the expenses associated with transporting polo ponies, it is questionable whether the event generated any significant financial support for the cause.

This leads to speculation that the polo match may have primarily served as an opportunity for wealthy individuals to indulge in the sport under the guise of charity.

It is hoped that Princess Kate will be well enough to attend the finals at Wimbledon this weekend, but there is a back-up plan in place.

Whereas, Princess Kate’s possible replacement to present the winner’s trophies at Wimbledon has been revealed, and it’s someone many royal fans might not recognise.

As patron of the All England Club the Princess of Wales has presented trophies to the tennis champions since 2016, but her ongoing cancer treatment has raised questions over whether she will feel well enough to do so this weekend.

 

Kate has only made one public appearance so far this year, at Trooping the Colour last month, but if she is unavailable the Duchess of Gloucester is being lined up to present the awards, according to The Telegraph.

All England Club Chair Debbie Jevans told the publication that officials at Wimbledon would remain “flexible” on arrangements, with a final decision on presenting duties not expected to be made until the morning of the women’s final on Saturday.

Kensington Palace has not confirmed any engagements for the Princess in the foreseeable future as she continues to receive preventative chemotherapy.

A fortnight ago Ms Jevans said she was “hopeful” that the Princess would be at Wimbledon, however it has been reported that during informal discussions the Duchess had emerged as a replacement candidate.

The Duchess of Gloucester was born in Denmark and was known as Birgitte van Deurs Henriksen before she married Prince Richard, the Duke of Gloucester in 1972.

She is equally as big a tenns fan as Kate and has been an Honorary President of the Lawn Tennis Association for 25 years, having already been spotted at the tournament as a guest of the All England Club last week.

It is hoped Kate will be well enough to attend Wimbledon

Prince William will be unavailable to present the trophies as he is likely to be in Germany for the final of Euro 2024, with England set to play the Netherlands in the semi-final on Wednesday.

As President of the FA William has been cheering his beloved England on for many matches as the royal summer of sport reaches its climax this weekend.

It is hugely important for Wimbledon to have royal support, with the potential optics of the Princess handing a trophy over to a Russian player said to be part of the reason tennis players from Russia were banned following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Ms Jevans previously said: “We’re hopeful that the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as the Club’s patron, but her health and recovery is the priority.

 

 

 

“We don’t know what we don’t know. All we’ve said is that we’ll work with her and give her as much flexibility as possible.

“I don’t know who would present the trophies as an alternative – that’s something to consider nearer the time if necessary. We’re staying flexible. When we hear we’ll then think about what’s the right thing to do.”

Even if Kate cannot attend her parents Carole and Michael Middleton were spotted enjoying the matches on Centre Court last week.

Earlier, Kate Middleton rejoined Prince William in public engagements for the first time since revealing her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

In a joint post with Prince William, the Princess of Wales, 41, highlighted mental health issues affecting young farmers. The royal couple shared their project on X (formerly Twitter) through the Kensington Royal account, stating: “This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we’ve brought together the inspirational Sam Stables from We Are Farming Minds and the brilliant Farmer Will for a very special film.” They noted the importance of discussing mental health within the farming community and highlighted the Duchy of Cornwall’s Mental Health Strategy.

Although Princess Catherine does not appear in the video, her involvement in its production alongside Prince William is evident. The project began before her illness, showcasing her longstanding commitment to mental health advocacy. The public last heard from the Princess in a moving video where she requested privacy as she began preventative chemotherapy. This announcement in March followed speculation regarding her absence after planned abdominal surgery in January. Initially not thought to be cancerous, a subsequent diagnosis confirmed the presence of the disease.

Kate has spoken about the delicate process of discussing her health with her children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.

Prince Harry risks being removed from line of succession in royal revenge plot. Prince Harry’s position as fifth in line to the throne could be in jeopardy due to his permanent residence outside the UK and absence of royal duties.

According to a source, discussions at the Royal Family’s summit at Balmoral this summer may not only address Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s titles but could also consider removing them from the line of succession. “The order of succession can be altered by statute if a member of the Royal Family permanently resides outside the UK and no longer undertakes royal duties,” said the source.“If that were to happen, Harry’s children could also be removed from the line of succession.” Robert Blackburn, a professor of constitutional law at King’s College London, tells Express.co.uk that although living abroad is not a legal disqualification for becoming monarch, Prince Harry can still be removed from the line of succession by an Act of Parliament. “Like Edward VIII, Prince Harry does not wish to perform the role of royalty expected of him and has withdrawn to live abroad. Presumably therefore Prince Harry would be agreeable to abdicate his place in succession if for any reason this became an issue in royal affairs being legislated upon,” said Blackburn.

“Several Acts of Parliament have changed the law on succession or imposed conditions for becoming Monarch, notably the Bill of Rights 1689 and Act of Settlement 1701. More recently Edward VIII voluntarily abdicated and was replaced as King by his brother George VI by Act of Parliament in 1936.” Blackburn adds that for a constitutional measure like this, it is customary for the British Government to take the initiative and introduce the Bill – not the monarch. “Backbench MPs or Peers can technically introduce a Private Members’ Bill on the subject, but it would get nowhere and be blocked by the government from proceeding further than a formal First Reading,” said Blackburn.

 

“The only possible scenario, as I see it, is for there to be a Government Bill being prepared on another royal issue, such as an amendment to the Regency Act dealing with eligible counsellors of state, and a clause being added at the same time which Prince Harry himself requests that removes him from the line of succession as a mark of him clearly wishing to relinquish all ties to the public work of the Monarchy and Royal Family.” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their decision to step down as senior working royals in January 2020, stating that they planned to “work to become financially independent”.

However, shortly after taking up residency in the United States, the couple embarked on what was described as a “royal bashing session” where they appeared in a chat with Oprah Winfrey, filmed a documentary for Netflix and Harry slated his family in his memoir, Spare. The couple reportedly further angered the Royal Family when they undertook a tour of Colombia recently which saw them visit the South American country to shine a light on cyberbullying and female empowerment. Express.co.uk exclusively revealed last week that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s titles will be up for discussion at Balmoral when the Royal Family meet for their annual summer holiday.

 

According to a source, one point of discussion at what has been dubbed a “royal family summit” will be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and how they will fit in with the Royal Family over the next decade. “Not only will Harry and Meghan’s tours and upcoming trip to Canada be on the agenda, but also their titles and peerages will be up for discussion,” said the source. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have just completed their second quasi-royal tour this year – in Colombia, where they spent four days last week promoting mental health among youngsters and the military community, cyberbullying, female empowerment and the cultural richness of Colombia.

 

 

Back in May, the Sussex couple also visited Nigeria. Royal commentator Emily Andrews dubbed Harry and Meghan’s “tours” as “somewhat risky” due to them not having the protection or diplomatic expertise of the Foreign Office as they are not working royals. The couple were invited to Colombia by Vice President Francia Márquez who provided them a full security detail during their visit, the cost of which reportedly hit the country with a £1.5 million bill, according to local media. As they sensationally quit their royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US, the Sussexes no longer travel at the request of the UK Government on official overseas royal visits.

Exposé Reveals Controversial Claims About Meghan Markle’s Past

Recently uncovered statements have sparked controversy around Meghan Markle, alleging discrepancies in her academic background and past decisions. The claims, originating from an unidentified source, suggest that Meghan utilized familial connections to secure a job at an embassy without meeting standard qualifications. It’s further asserted that during her time there, she neglected required exams for a foreign service position.

In a revealing interview reportedly conducted in 2012, coinciding with her role on “Suits,” Meghan discussed her career aspirations and personal views. Notably, she addressed her shift from aspirations in foreign service to pursuing acting and modeling, citing a desire to avoid conforming to Hollywood stereotypes.

The interview, potentially organized without professional publicist support, delved into Meghan’s perspective on risk-taking in her career, emphasizing her approach as an aspiring actress. However, controversial claims surfaced regarding her involvement in a Playboy photo shoot, allegedly facilitated before her marriage to Prince Harry. Reports suggest that sensitive images from this shoot were subsequently removed from the internet by MI6, raising questions about privacy and media manipulation.

Critics have seized upon these revelations, questioning Meghan’s integrity and appropriateness for her royal role. The controversy underscores ongoing scrutiny and speculation surrounding her past decisions and public image.

As more details emerge, the public awaits further responses from Meghan Markle and the royal family amidst this developing narrative.

It was supposed to be a polished, primetime interview – an opportunity for Meghan, Duchess of Sussex to tell her story and reclaim her narrative. But what unfolded behind the scenes was anything but smooth sailing. In a shocking turn of events, a newly resurfaced video from the CBS archives reveals a heated exchange between Meghan and veteran journalist Jane Pauley, where the Duchess is seen angrily demanding to be addressed by her royal title.

A recently resurfaced CBS interview has stirred controversy after Meghan Markle was seen demanding to be addressed as “Duchess” by journalist Jane Pauley. The backstage confrontation, which involved Meghan angrily insisting on her royal title, has cast a shadow over her public image and sparked discussions about her perceived entitlement.

The interview, initially intended to be a candid conversation about Meghan’s life after stepping back from royal duties, was marred by this contentious exchange. Meghan’s insistence on being called “Duchess” not only overshadowed the interview’s intended narrative but also highlighted the tensions between royal expectations and journalistic integrity. Her arrival with an entourage and specific demands about her title underscored her desire for a certain portrayal, revealing the challenges public figures face in managing their public personas.

Jane Pauley’s refusal to comply with Meghan’s demands emphasized her adherence to journalistic standards, illustrating the broader struggle between media expectations and celebrity desires. Despite the backstage turmoil, the on-camera interview reportedly proceeded smoothly, demonstrating Meghan’s ability to maintain composure. This contrast raises questions about the disparity between her public facade and her private behavior.

 

Witnesses described Meghan as demanding and entitled during the incident, which could have implications for her carefully cultivated image as a relatable figure. Royal commentator Emily Andrews noted the stark difference between Meghan’s intended public persona and her backstage behavior, suggesting that this incident could significantly impact her reputation.

The ongoing scrutiny of Meghan’s behavior, including previous high-profile incidents and reported clashes with palace staff, continues to fuel skepticism about her motives and sense of entitlement. Tensions with other members of the royal family, such as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, further reflect issues surrounding titles and status within the royal hierarchy. The footage of Meghan’s interaction with Jane Pauley serves as a reminder of how ego can sometimes overshadow important messages, underscoring the risks involved in managing one’s narrative while striving to stay authentic.

 

 

 

Harry SHOCKED by Meghan Markle’s interview answer: “Want to ‘GO BACK TO MY OLD LIFE’, carefree as an actress, with invitations to all exclusive events and the opportunity to mingle with Hollywood A-listers

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly considering a return to her roots in the entertainment industry, longing for the freedom and excitement she experienced before joining the British Royal Family. According to a source close to Meghan, the former actress misses her old life and is eager to explore new opportunities in Hollywood.

Before becoming a member of the British monarchy, Meghan Markle was best known for her role as Rachel Zane on the hit legal drama Suits. While filming, she resided in Toronto, where she enjoyed a vibrant social life, a close-knit circle of friends, and the freedom that came with being a successful actress. Her life in Canada was a stark contrast to the highly scrutinized and constrained environment she encountered as a royal.

Meghan’s transition from actress to duchess began in 2016 when she met Prince Harry. The couple married two years later, and Meghan made the significant decision to leave her acting career behind to embrace her royal duties in Britain.

Now settled in Montecito, California, with Prince Harry and their children, Archie and Lilibet, Meghan is said to be contemplating a return to acting. An insider revealed to New magazine that Meghan “has made no secret of how much she misses her carefree life when she was an actress.”

The source continued, “While she’d never change what she has with Harry and the kids, there is a big part of her that wishes she could just get her old life back. She loved being in Suits and all the opportunities it gave her. She’d get invited to exclusive events and get to hang out with Hollywood A-listers. There was also so much less scrutiny and attention, and there was no pressure on her.”

This longing for her past life may lead Meghan to pursue new acting roles, despite the inevitable criticism that might follow. The insider explained, “She feels the time is right to start looking at offers as she knows she’ll be criticized whatever she does, so she can cope with backlash and wants to do what makes her happy.”

Prince Harry is reportedly supportive of Meghan’s desire to return to acting. “Harry often feels guilty for Meghan having to give up on her dream life,” the source noted. “He knows how much she sacrificed to marry him and have a family with him, so he will support her no matter what.”

While Meghan’s schedule is currently filled with various work commitments, the insider hints that this is just the beginning of her “big comeback” and that she’ll be “doing things on her terms.”

 

Meghan has previously hinted at the possibility of returning to acting. In an interview with Variety 18 months ago, she stated she would “never say never” to acting again, fueling speculation about her future in the entertainment industry.

In recent months, new professional opportunities have emerged for Meghan and Harry. At the start of the year, they relaunched their website, signaling a fresh chapter for the Sussexes. Meghan also signed a deal to produce a new podcast with Lemonada Media following the cancellation of her Archetypes series with Spotify last year.

Additionally, Meghan and Harry are reportedly working on two separate projects with Netflix. Meghan’s project is said to be a cooking show, while Harry’s focuses on the competitive world of polo.

This spring, Meghan unveiled her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, although details about product availability remain under wraps. As she explores these ventures, the Duchess is navigating a delicate balance between her royal identity and her aspirations in Hollywood.

As Meghan Markle navigates her post-royal life, the possibility of returning to the acting world presents both challenges and opportunities. Her journey from Toronto actress to Duchess of Sussex has been filled with dramatic twists and turns, and now, as she contemplates her next steps, the world watches with anticipation.

Will Meghan Markle make her Hollywood comeback? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Meghan is determined to carve out a path that aligns with her passions and priorities.

In a shocking turn of events, media mogul Oprah Winfrey has reportedly asked Meghan Markle to pay damages for an alleged on-air lie that purportedly ended Winfrey’s career. This development has stirred significant controversy and speculation in both media and public spheres.

The incident traces back to the explosive interview aired in March 2021, where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sat down with Oprah to discuss their departure from royal duties. The interview was widely watched and generated intense public interest due to its revelations about the royal family and the Sussexes’ experiences.

According to sources, Oprah believes that a specific statement made by Meghan during the interview has caused irreparable harm to her career. The claim centers around Meghan’s allegation that a member of the royal family made racially insensitive remarks about her son, Archie. This assertion led to a media frenzy and substantial backlash against the royal family, but it also allegedly had unintended repercussions for Oprah.

Insiders claim that Oprah has faced significant professional setbacks due to the fallout from the interview. She has reportedly lost major partnerships and faced a decline in her public image and trustworthiness. In light of these consequences, Oprah is said to be holding Meghan accountable for the damages she has incurred.

The demand for damages highlights the intricate dynamics of media, public perception, and personal relationships. While Oprah and Meghan appeared to share a bond of trust during the interview, this development suggests that their relationship may have been strained by the subsequent fallout.

Public reactions to this news have been mixed. Some support Oprah’s stance, arguing that Meghan’s statements carried significant weight and should have been more carefully considered. Others believe that Oprah is overreacting and that the consequences she faces are part and parcel of the media industry.

This situation also raises broader questions about the responsibilities of public figures when making serious allegations on widely viewed platforms. The balance between revealing personal experiences and the potential repercussions of those revelations is a delicate one, particularly when it involves influential individuals like Oprah and Meghan.

As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen how this demand for damages will impact both Oprah’s and Meghan’s careers and public images. The incident underscores the profound effects that high-profile interviews can have, not only on their subjects but also on the interviewers who facilitate them.

In a stunning and unprecedented turn of events, Princess Anne has officially been crowned Queen, marking the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy.

For many, Princess Anne’s rise to the throne represents a significant shift in the royal power dynamics, positioning her as a key figure in the future of the monarchy. Known for her dedication to duty, Princess Anne has long been regarded as one of the hardest-working members of the royal family. Now, as Queen, she steps into a role that will bring both challenges and opportunities to further solidify her legacy.

Camilla’s loss of the Queen title, after her much-discussed transition from Duchess of Cornwall to Queen Consort, has raised eyebrows. Speculation suggests internal family tensions may have influenced King Charles’s decision, with insiders hinting at a desire to bring fresh leadership to the crown.
