Thomas Markle Jr has issued a public apology to his sister Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, after criticising her in the media for years.

The 55-year-old said he had made some horrible mistakes’ after being thrust into the spotlight when Meghan started dating Prince Harry.

Markle Jr who is a contestant in Australian reality show Big Brother VIP, also said he hoped his step sister was watching him on the show saying: ‘That’s why I’m doing this, so she can see the real me.’

‘I want everybody watching to take away this side of me, the real me. I am lovable, nice, I’ll give you the shirt off my back, I’m funny,’ he said to New Idea.

 

Despite having previously warned Prince Harry his sister would ‘ruin your life’, Thomas said there was no animosity on his side.

He said that growing up with Meghan had been ‘a great experience’ and that they were ‘very close’ and would spend ‘lots of quality time’ together.

Thomas said their relationship soured when Meghan started dating Harry and he was ‘thrown to the wolves’ with ‘no experience’ of handling the press.

‘I was being backed into a corner, into a wall. I made some horrible mistakes and still regret them to this day,’ he said.

Thomas insisted he loves his sister and would ‘do anything’ to meet his nephew Archie, two, and niece Lilibet, four months.

‘I don’t need a photo-op to go see my sister, and I don’t want a story behind it,’ he explained.

‘I don’t want anything, I would just love to go over to their home and knock on the door, give her a big hug and kiss, and say I missed the hell out of her and apologise right to her face…

‘Maybe one day that will happen. I’d do anything to see Archie and Lilibet.’

In a candid conversation with his housemates during Monday’s season premiere of Big Brother VIP, Thomas claimed Meghan changed after finding fame.

‘What happened to her, nobody can figure it out. Money changed her I guess. Money and fame just went to her head really bad,’ he said.

Thomas went on to say that Meghan ‘walked all over’ her first husband, film producer Trevor Engelson, who had ‘adored’ her.

Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from royal life in 2020, it’s been a whirlwind for the Sussexes—filled with drama, feuds, …

Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from royal life in 2020, it’s been a whirlwind for the Sussexes—filled with drama, feuds, and, of course, the infamous “Megxit.”

Now, it seems Meghan is plotting her ultimate revenge with an explosive tell-all memoir. But let’s be real: with publishers reportedly turning her down, this whole memoir saga is starting to feel like a desperate attempt to stay relevant.

 

According to insiders who spoke to *Closer* magazine, Meghan is allegedly trying to land a lucrative book deal, with figures being thrown around that would make even the wealthiest royals raise an eyebrow. 

Apparently, the buzz in publishing circles is that everyone is eager to get their hands on Meghan’s memoir, with deals potentially soaring into the tens of millions. We’re talking about a staggering £100 million deal if she plays her cards right, which might even include a bombshell biopic.

However, the big question remains: what exactly does she have to share?

Let’s pause and consider how Meghan has recently been branded “The Duchess Difficult,” thanks to allegations of less-than-stellar treatment of staff.

Insiders claim she belittles her employees and marches around like a dictator in high heels. So, is this really the woman who’s about to dish the dirt on the royal family? It’s hard to imagine anyone taking a memoir seriously when she can’t seem to keep her own house in order.

The claim that Meghan has had an “extraordinary journey” feels a bit rich. Sure, she’s had her share of experiences, but she already has a tendency to spin narratives that might not hold up under scrutiny.

After all, she’s been out of the royal game for a while and hasn’t exactly been privy to any deep royal secrets. If she’s expecting a payday based on her time as a royal, she might be setting herself up for disappointment.

The public will remember that after leaving the palace, Meghan opened up about her mental health struggles during her pregnancy with Archie. She also claimed that the royal family didn’t support her—a surprising statement, given that they’ve thrown her a lifeline several times since her departure.

Meanwhile, speculation has grown that Harry misses his old life, and their strained relationships with William and Kate have become more apparent than ever. So, is now really the best time for Meghan to drop a memoir?

Some insiders insist that Meghan is biding her time for the right moment to spill the beans, claiming she has a remarkable story to tell.

But how many remarkable stories can one person share? Will she pull a “dear diary” and regale us with tales of her struggles as a mixed-race woman in Hollywood, her fairy-tale wedding, and her experiences in the royal spotlight?

For someone who has “endured so much” (or so she claims), her approach to storytelling seems to be aiming for sensationalism over substance. As for the alleged book deal, one can’t help but chuckle at the thought of Meghan trying to sell her story.

 

If her past behavior has taught us anything, it’s that she tends to jump ship the moment the tide turns. Who wants to bet that the memoir will be just another attempt to regain lost status? 

There’s also the notion that this book could wreck Harry’s attempts at mending fences with the royals—and isn’t that a delightful thought?

Whether Meghan manages to secure a hefty book deal remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the tell-all narrative is feeling a little tired. With Harry’s *Spare* already out there, the public is still left questioning what’s real and what’s manufactured.

If Meghan thinks she can swoop in and create an uproar with a half-baked memoir, she might want to reconsider.

Prince Harry is back in the UK and will attend a special event in London this evening.

Prince Harry touched down in the UK over the weekend ahead of the WellChild awards this evening.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, remains patron of the UK charity and it is one of the few private patronages he held onto after stepping down as a senior royal in 2020.

The WellChild awards celebrate the inspiring qualities of some of the country’s seriously ill young people and the dedication of those who keep them healthy and happy, including health, social care and education professionals.

Harry’s stay is only expected to be fleeting, as this is his only event in the UK.

Questions have been raised over whether the duke will meet up with any of his family while he’s back on home soil – but it’s not looking hopeful for Harry, who has made no secret of his desire to reconcile.

Sources have suggested Prince William will not clear time in his diary to see his brother, as the heir is focused on his own work and his family.

Harry and William are not understood to have spoken for some time, and are not thought to have talked when they attended a family funeral in the UK last month.

But insiders have been slightly more optimistic about a reunion between father and son, as the King is more open to a reconciliation with his youngest son.

However, the timing of Harry’s visit may prove to be a huge barrier to a meeting, as the King is some 500 miles away at Balmoral Castle having attended the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament on Saturday.

He will be travelling back to the capital this week, but it is expected to be after the duke has jetted off to Lesotho, Africa to drive forward his work with the charity Sentebale.

Harry’s last public visit to the UK fell in May, and his team briefed that the King was “too busy” to make time to see his son while he was in London.

This was despite the father-and-son being just several miles away, as Harry held an Invictus Games event at St Paul’s Cathedral and the King hosted the first garden party of the season at Buckingham Palace.

But the pair did spend some time together in February after the King’s cancer diagnosis was made public.

Harry rushed over to London to see his father, and they met for about 40 minutes in what was seen as an optimistic sign their relationship was moving forward.

Today, the Duke will attend a reception to meet the category winners and their families before the main event where he will present the Most Inspirational Child (aged four to six) award and deliver a short speech.

Harry regularly attends the annual event, hosted by WellChild, the national charity which provides a nationwide network of nurses, home makeover projects and family support programmes.

Last year the event fell on the eve of the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death and Harry paid tribute to his late grandmother in his speech.

The Duke of Sussex will not be flying back to see his wife Meghan Markle after his latest visit to the UK, with Harry instead set to head out on another trip alone.

Prince Harry will not return home to Meghan Markle in California after visiting the UK today to attend the WellChild 2024 awards.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, has been away from his wife and two children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, on a series of solo engagements this month, and this is set to continue into early October.

After his brief two-day visit to the UK, Harry will not be flying home to Meghan, 43, and instead will travel to Lesotho in Africa to promote the work of Sentebale, the charity he co-founded with Prince Seeiso to help young people in need.

On this solo engagement, Harry will join business leaders, philanthropists and locals to promote the work of the charity, which was inspired by the work of Harry’s late mother Princess Diana.

Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso, who co-founded Sentebale with Harry nearly 20 years ago, said it would fill the community with “joy” to welcome back “Mohale” – Harry’s Sesotho royal name, which means “warrior”.

Prince Harry had previously said in a statement: “As we head towards our 20th anniversary, our ambition has grown, giving us the confidence to bring our skills and experience in designing solutions with young people, and to leveraging our convening power to engage with leading regional players and global funders so we can add Sentebale’s voice to addressing the challenges faced by the next generation in southern Africa.”

Sentebale chairwoman Dr Sophie Chandauka said: “The Duke’s return to southern Africa… marks a milestone as we collaborate with world-class organisations and local leadership to engage this critical youth cohort.

“Together, we aim to accelerate digital and economic inclusion, addressing the low levels of access and literacy, which are crucial for young people’s participation in the global economy and for achieving Sentebale’s goals in health, wealth creation and climate resilience.”

 

The solo engagement in Africa will be the third place Harry has visited without Meghan over the last month.

The Duke of Sussex then jetted to the UK on Sunday ahead of his attendance at the WellChild Awards today (September 30).

Harry has not met up with any members of the Royal Family during the recent UK visit and is unlikely to see any members of his family before leaving the country again.

EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry is briefly back in the UK to attend an awards ceremony for the charity WellChild, of which he is a patron.

Prince Harry has adopted his brother Prince William’s “signature pose” after he touched down in the UK, a body language expert has exclusively told Express.co.uk.

The Duke of Sussex has been pictured in London without his wife Meghan Markle, 43, while attending an awards ceremony for the charity Wellchild, which aims to help seriously ill children and their families access the support they need.

Despite no longer being a working member of the Royal Family, the prince remains a patron of the charity and attended the ceremony this year in person.

Body language expert Judi James said Harry appears to be full of “happiness” at the ceremony as he gives off a “royal demeanour”.

Judi exclusively told Express.co.uk: “This is a very royal-looking appearance from Harry, whose body language use of pace, energy, and relaxed-looking charm makes him appear delighted to be back in the UK, even for a fleeting visit.”

She continued: “He walks in with a keen smile, smoothing his tie with one hand before offering some firm handshakes, leaning forward to suggest an enthusiasm to meet and engage with his hosts.

“His smile in the official photo reaches both his mouth and his eyes, making it look like a congruent expression of authentic happiness.”

The body language expert also told Express.co.uk that Harry has developed a similar pose to the one used by his brother Prince William at royal engagements.

Judi continued: “And one last royal touch: as he poses in the line-up he adopts a signature pose of his brother William, standing with his hands clasped in front of his torso in the fig-leaf position.

“It would be clutching at some very, very flimsy straws to suggest this might be a sign of any thawing between the brothers but as a subliminal signal, this mirroring plus his regal demeanour could suggest he’s not unhappy to be back in his princely role again.”

The UK visit comes after Prince Harry’s recent solo engagements in New York City, which saw the prince leave his home in California just days after his 40th birthday celebrations.

Prince Harry is in the UK today where he will appear at the WellChild awards ceremony in London – but it is unclear if he will meet up with King Charles and Queen Camilla during his trip to his homeland

Prince Harry is due in the UK for a rare visit where he will honour the achievements of seriously ill youngsters and their families.

But as with his other recent trips back to his homeland, attention has turned to whether he will meet up with his father King Charles during his time back in the UK. Harry is due to attend the WellChild awards ceremony in London tonight in his role as the charity’s patron, a position he has held for more than 15 years.

There has been speculation about whether Harry will make a trip to Scotland to spend time with his father the King, who is undergoing cancer treatment. When Harry last visited the UK in May for a service at St Paul’s Cathedral for the Invictus Games, the father and son failed to meet.

There has been tension in their relationship, especially since Harry released his controversial memoir Spare and his bombshell Netflix series with wife Meghan Markle, where they railed against their royal relatives.

And according to one royal expert, one royal keen for them not to meet up is the King’s wife and Harry’s stepmother, Queen Camilla. Writing in the Sunday Times, the Daily Beast royal editor Tom Sykes said: “Neither side would definitively tell me whether a meeting is planned on this trip, but all the indications so far are that it is not. The King is in Scotland, gathering his strength for a forthcoming trip to Australia. The Queen, her friends have told me, is keen that Charles doesn’t get unnecessarily stressed out and is not encouraging a meeting.”

“For Harry, there can be no meaningful rehabilitation as a royal without reconciliation. His father’s recent health scare has added a sense of urgency to that quest.”

The King is believed to be spending time at his Balmoral home and it is thought he has not seen Harry since the duke rushed to his father’s side after Charles’s cancer diagnosis was announced in February.

The WellChild Awards celebrate the inspiring qualities of some of the country’s seriously ill young people and the dedication of those who keep them healthy and happy, including health, social care and education professionals. Harry regularly attends the annual event hosted by WellChild, the national charity which provides a nationwide network of nurses, home makeover projects and family support programmes.

Before the big event, the duke will attend a reception to meet the category winners and their families before joining guests for the private awards ceremony where he will present the Most Inspirational Child (aged four to six) award and deliver a short speech.

Last week, it was also confirmed that Harry will be in Southern Africa early next month as part of a visit for his charity Sentebale, which he co-founded in 2006. It will be his first trip to the region since 2019 – and it appears to be a solo visit with no mention so far of wife Meghan Markle joining him.

The trip will see him gather world business leaders and philanthropists to work towards fostering prosperity in Southern African communities, specifically focused on young people. His Sentebale charity, which he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, will bring together leaders from Google ’s charitable arm and several other companies and organisations for a series of meetings and discussions in Lesotho and Johannesburg, South Africa.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, will today attend the WellChild awards ceremony in London in his role as the charity’s patron, a position he has held for more than 15 years

Prince Harry will today carry out a number of solo engagements back in the UK – without Meghan Markle – but it’s unclear if he will visit his family.

Duke of Sussex, 40, is to celebrate the achievements and resilience of seriously ill youngsters and their families during the rare UK visit. He will attend the WellChild awards ceremony in London in his role as the charity’s patron, a position he has held for more than 15 years.

And the visit has raised speculation whether Harry and his estranged brother, Prince William, the Prince of Wales will see each other, or if the duke will make a trip to Scotland to spend time with his father the King. It is believed Charles is currently spending time at his Balmoral home.

Harry’s rare visit, again without 43-year-old Meghan, comes as he continues his legal battle against the UK Home Office as he launches an appeal against a High Court ruling dismissing his challenge over a decision to change the level of his personal security when he visits the UK by a Court of Appeal judge. Harry first began the action after the Home Office, the ministry responsible for policing, in February 2020 cut off his right to automatic personal police security while in the UK.

But it is thought he will have some security – either via the police or his private team – at the WellChild awards ceremony at the Hurlingham Club near Fulham, west London, today.

The WellChild awards celebrate the inspiring qualities of some of the country’s seriously ill young people and the dedication of those who keep them healthy and happy, including health, social care and education professionals.

Harry regularly attends the annual event hosted by WellChild, the national charity which provides a nationwide network of nurses, home makeover projects and family support programmes. Before the big event the duke will attend a reception to meet the category winners and their families before joining guests for the private awards ceremony where he will present the Most Inspirational Child (aged four to six) award and deliver a short speech.

Prince Harry will return to the UK alone to attend an award ceremony in London this evening, but do you think Meghan Markle should have joined him?

The Duke of Sussex is scheduled to attend the annual WellChild Awards, which celebrates the achievements and resilience of seriously ill youngsters and their families. Harry has been a patron for the charity for more than 15 years, and is expected to present the Most Inspirational Child (aged four to six) award and deliver a short speech.

In a statement, Harry shared: “I am once again honoured to attend this year’s WellChild Awards celebrating the remarkable courage and achievements of children living with complex medical needs.These incredible young people, along with the dedicated caregivers, nurses, and professionals who tirelessly support them, inspire us all. It is a true privilege to recognise such extraordinary individuals.”

While the Duchess of Sussex accompanied Harry to the 2019 WellChild awards, it has been reported that Meghan will remain in the US with the couple’s two children this year. Meghan has not returned to the UK since the late Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022, despite Harry making multiple trips to his home country alone.

Most recently, the Duke attended the funeral of his uncle Lord Robert Fellowes, where it’s understood he and Prince William didn’t talk after the service, despite virtually standing ‘back-to-back’. Royal author and expert Tom Quinn told the Mirror last month that Meghan will only return to the UK under one ‘major condition’.

He said: “Meghan has said she’s only prepared to return to England if she and Harry have a place of their own and the security they both feel is essential. Meghan will never return to the UK and stay with her husband‘s relatives. If the couple manage to find a permanent home and sort out the security issue they will certainly want to bring their children to the UK but it’s going to take a lot of diplomacy to get to the point where Archie and Lili are able to develop a genuine and warm relationship with their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis.”

Harry, 40, has previously expressed concerns over secrity when it comes to his young family, and, in an interview with ITV , stated that he couldn’t “bring [his] wife back to this country” due to fears over safety.

Prince Harry attended the poignant WellChild Awards in London tonight where he met inspirational children being recognised by the charity – and while meeting one little boy, he revealed a sweet detail about daughter Princess Lilibet

Prince Harry shared a rare detail about daughter Princess Lilibet during his long-awaited return trip to the UK – where he was upstaged by a boisterious little boy.

Harry was seen beaming as he swept into London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel to meet children, teenagers and their parents who have been recognised with awards from the charity WellChild. The Duke of Sussex, who travelled without his wife Meghan Markle, attended the ceremony in London as the charity’s patron of 15 years. He looked relaxed as he began one of only a handful of events he now stages in the UK, following his move to America with his family.

However, he was upstaged by a youngster who threw his toys away during an awards night and laughed as Harry picked them up. The duke met seven-year-old Noah Nicholson – who has complex medical conditions. Noah has cerebral palsy, chronic lung disease and other serious health issues, but his mother, Tracey Nicholson, 42, from Grimsby, said he remains happy and positive and lives life to the full. The little boy brought his prized comfort toys – George the cat and Ratty the Giraffe in the shape of a blanket – and delighted in throwing them on to the floor. When Ms Nicholson apologised for her son’s antics, Harry, who is WellChild’s patron, replied: “Don’t apologise, I love it.”

Harry recognised Ratty the Giraffe and called the blanket comforter ‘lovey’, a name used in American, and said: “Every parent has about six spare”. And he also revealed that his daughter three-year-old Lilibet is a fan of the toys and said: “My daughter Lili has these Lovies.” At one point Noah, who has brain damage and won the most Inspirational Child aged four to six, grabbed Harry’s beard and made him grin.

Noah’s mother said afterwards: “He’s in constant pain but is always happy and smiley. He’s just a very excitable boy and when he’s around people he just loves it. Nothing ever gets him down, he never cries unless the pain gets the better of him. He’s seriously ill fighting for his life so much, but he’s so happy.”

Harry speaks to one of the WellChild Award winners

As WellChild’s patron for more than 15 years, Harry has regularly attended the awards ceremony staged by the organisation, the national charity for seriously ill children and their families. After meeting the award winners and presenting them with their prizes, Harry later gave a speech where he hailed those honoured as “little legends” and talked about the rollercoaster of parenting.

He said: “The WellChild Awards is an event that never fails to inspire me. The stories of young people who battle against the odds, living lives filled with medical procedures, hospital stays, and endless appointments, remind us all of the strength of the human spirit.

“For many of us, it is a daily life we can hardly imagine, and yet somehow, the young people I meet are always smiling and every room they walk into seemingly lights up with warmth and positivity. So keep being you. You’ve got this. And we’ve got you.

“As a parent, I know a little about the emotional rollercoaster of parenting! But, when I hear about the care many of you mums, dads, and family members provide; the level of round-the-clock care you offer; the skills you’ve had to learn; and the battles for support that you fight every single day—I am truly in awe.

The footballing legend appeared alongside the Prince of Wales at RAF Northolt today.

David Beckham has reunited with Prince William during a surprise reunion today.

The England footballing legend supported the prince at RAF Northolt to mark the end of the London Air Ambulance’s ‘Up Against Time’ appeal that has raised £16m for two new helicopters.

The two men were all smiles as they greeted each other during today’s event in West London and even signed one of the new helicopters.

William asked David to be part of the Omaze campaign for the appeal which helped raise £4 million for the charity’s cause.

The scheme was launched in 2021 after it became clear that the London Air Ambulance Charity’s MD902 helicopters would be out of service within a matter of years, which would have severely affected the outcomes of thousands of patients every year.

The two new H135 helicopters will ensure the medical team can continue to provide their vital services across London.

Back in June, the football legend, who’s also a LAAC ambassador, supported Omaze’s London House Draw to help raise funds for the charity.

David said at the time: “As a proud Londoner I know how vital London’s Air Ambulance Charity is. When a patient is critically injured in the capital they don’t have time to get to hospital. But London’s Air Ambulance can deliver expert medics to perform emergency surgery anywhere in the city within minutes. Now they need our support to reach their target to replace their two helicopters and make sure they can keep flying to save lives across London. I hope that people respond to this campaign so that everyone in our city knows that London’s Air Ambulance will be there if they need them.”

And people did respond as the appeal had a target of £15million but passed it, collecting £16 million.

The football legend said today: “I’m an East End boy so every time we saw them in the air it made us very proud. As soon as I was asked to be involved by Prince William it was something I was very honoured (to do) in all honesty.”

“It’s something that’s been a part of London for a long long time, over 35 years of incredible work that the pilots and the medics do, the millions of lives they’ve saved over the years is something I was very proud to be invited to be part of.

The draw winner received a £5million luxury house in East London and £250,000 in cash.

The heir to the throne, who is patron of London’s Air Ambulance Charity, headed to RAF Northolt today to view the new helicopters and meet pilots and medical crew, who told him about how the aircraft will positively impact their roles before he joked to them saying “don’t break it”.

He also met Airbus engineers who were involved in the creation and development of the new helicopters.

William was also set to join one of the helicopter’s first flights but it was cancelled due to the bad weather.

London’s Air Ambulance Charity was established in 1989 following a growing consensus of opinion that victims of serious accidents were dying because of the delay in expert medical help reaching them, and the time it took to transport patients to hospital.
