    The UK will most never see Meg again says Royal Expert

    Meghan Markle’s potential return to the UK appears increasingly unlikely, disappointing fans who had hoped to see her alongside Prince Harry at an event marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games in London.

     

     

    Since their departure from the Royal Family in 2020, Meghan has made few trips back to the UK. One memorable occasion was for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. However, during this visit, she and Harry faced a chilly reception, reportedly encountering booing from crowds as they left St Paul’s Cathedral after a national service of thanksgiving.

     


    The absence of Meghan during Harry’s subsequent visit for King Charles’ coronation in May 2023 added to the ongoing speculation. According to American news presenter Megyn Kelly, Meghan’s decision not to accompany Harry may have been influenced by concerns about facing public scrutiny and potential backlash once more.

    Following their eviction from Frogmore Cottage, a property gifted to them by the Queen, Harry and Meghan no longer have a home in the UK. This eviction, served by King Charles in January of the previous year, led to the couple returning the keys in June 2023 and relocating their belongings to their new residence in California.

     


    Reports suggest that any future stays at royal residences would necessitate a private agreement with the King, underscoring the complexities of Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the UK and the Royal Family.

    Meghan didn’t join the Prince on his last trip to England on May 8th for the Invictus Games, which Harry holds very dear. Instead she went to Nigeria on an official trip, something that angered the Royal Family very much.

    Well the Duchess will maybe even go to England, but not on official visits, not as a Royal, she doesn’t want to add any value to that family. SHE IS DONE WITH THE UK.

    Piers Morgan, known as the “arch-enemy” of Meghan Markle, has never shied away from criticizing and mocking the Duchess in the media. Following the Sussexes’ explosive interview with Oprah, Piers Morgan delivered a biting response to the couple’s accusations against the royal family on his show.

    Piers Morgan did not hold back in his rebuke of Meghan, stating, “I don’t believe a word she says. I wouldn’t believe a weather report if she was reading it. Her fierce attacks on our Royal Family are utterly disgraceful.

    Piers Morgan’s harsh criticism of Meghan Markle.

    The veteran journalist’s on-air assault on Meghan sparked a flurry of complaints to Ofcom, the government agency that oversees communications, including a formal complaint from Meghan herself. Many demanded that Piers Morgan apologize to Meghan, but he flatly refused and instead chose to resign from his position.

    Now, Piers Morgan is seen as having “won” the “battle” with Meghan, as he has been found not to have done anything wrong. Ofcom recently declared that Morgan did not violate any media regulations or principles when he openly labeled Meghan a liar on Good Morning Britain (GMB) last March.

    Ofcom stated, “Mr. Morgan was entitled to say he disbelieved the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s allegations and to hold and express strong views that robustly challenged their account.

    Meghan Markle faces another bitter outcome.

    Following Ofcom’s conclusion, Piers Morgan jubilantly took to Twitter, calling it a “resounding defeat for Princess Pinocchio,” reiterating that many of Harry and Meghan’s claims have been proven false. The term “Princess Pinocchio” (implying that Meghan is a lying princess) has since become a new nickname used by internet users to mock the Duchess.

    Many online users remarked that this is undoubtedly a severe blow to the Sussexes, as their fabrications from the explosive interview are once again being scrutinized. As of now, the Sussexes have not issued any response to this latest development.

Her every move was dissected by the media, and she faced relentless criticism. Despite her efforts to embrace her duties, the pressure and constant judgment took a toll on her mental and emotional well-being.

    The ongoing tension between the British royal family and Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, has taken a new turn, as reports suggest that King Charles has effectively given up on making amends with his younger son and his wife.

    Since their dramatic departure from the UK in 2020, the Sussexes have repeatedly attacked the royal institution through a series of high-profile interviews, the Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan,” and most recently, Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare.” These public airing of grievances have left the reigning monarch, King Charles III, deeply “hurt,” according to a new book by royal historian and author Robert Hardman.

    In his latest work, “Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story,” Hardman provides a fascinating insight into the King’s perspective on the ongoing rift with his son and daughter-in-law. The author claims that Charles has tried to listen and find a resolution, but has now reached a point of resignation, focusing instead on his duties as the new sovereign.

    “Of course, the King is extremely sad about Harry and Meghan, but there is a sense of exasperation, that he has done what he can and now he is King, there are many more things to think about,” Hardman writes. “He has tried listening. Now he just says: ‘I don’t want to know what the problem is. I’m just getting on with my life.’”

    This sentiment reflects a marked shift in the King’s approach, as he appears to have abandoned any further attempts at reconciliation with the Sussexes, who have continued to level criticism against the royal family.

    The tensions between the Windsors and the Sussexes have been further exacerbated by recent reports of a rift between Meghan Markle and King Charles himself. Royal expert and commentator Angela Levin revealed that Meghan was “very upset” about the King’s decision to sell his own brand of jam, allegedly feeling that he was encroaching on her territory.””

    However, Levin dismissed this notion, stating that it is “not in his nature” for the King to intentionally undermine his daughter-in-law. She suggested that the reported incident was likely an overreaction on Meghan’s part, further highlighting the delicate and strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.

    The ongoing saga continues to captivate the public’s attention, with the King’s apparent resignation from seeking reconciliation marking a significant development in the complex and deeply personal conflict that has gripped the House of Windsor.

    Meghan’s fiery response to Prince William during tense exchange about Kate

    A new book has shed light on a heated confrontation between Meghan Markle and Prince William, offering fresh insights into the fractured relationships within the Royal Family. According to royal author Robert Jobson, tensions between the Duchess of Sussex and the future king escalated during a dispute involving Kate Middleton, now the Princess of Wales.

    The Incident: “Get Your Finger Out of My Face”

    The incident reportedly took place after Meghan allegedly made a comment about Kate having “baby brain” shortly after the birth of Prince Louis. The remark, which referred to Kate’s hormones, did not sit well with the Princess of Wales, who felt the comment was inappropriate given their lack of closeness. During a subsequent meeting to clear the air, Kate demanded an apology, saying, “We are not close enough for you to talk about my hormones.

    When Prince William intervened, accusing Meghan of being “rude,” the situation became even more heated. According to Jobson, Meghan snapped back at William, saying, “Take your finger out of my face.” This intense exchange highlighted the growing discord between the once closely-watched “Fab Four.”

    Parallel Accounts: Echoes from Harry’s Memoir

    The account in Jobson’s book mirrors a similar story shared by Prince Harry in his memoir, Spare. Harry recounted that Meghan and Kate had struggled to get along and that the situation worsened during their discussion. He described how Meghan had apologized for the “baby brain” comment, explaining that it was the way she spoke with her friends. However, the conversation soured when William pointed his finger at Meghan, prompting her sharp retort.

    Harry’s “Olive Branch Trip” Without Meghan

    As tensions within the Royal Family continue, Prince Harry is reportedly planning an “olive branch trip” to the UK in an attempt to mend his relationship with his family. However, Meghan is expected to remain in the United States, focusing on her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and other commitments. Sources close to the couple suggest that Meghan is hesitant to return to the UK due to past negative experiences and fears of public backlash.

    “Harry is very anxious to go home and see his dad, catch up with his friends for his birthday in September, and also pay a visit to his aunt, Princess Anne,” a source told Closer. “But the situation hasn’t changed for Meghan. She’s got way too much on her plate with the brand and her new cooking show, as well as looking after the children.”

    Meghan’s Return to the UK: Uncertain Amid Security Concerns

    Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, following the death of Queen Elizabeth IIMeghan’s return to the UK remains uncertain, as Harry has expressed concerns about their safety in the country. The couple has paused their search for a new UK home amid a legal dispute with the Home Office over their security arrangements, which were revoked when they stepped back from royal duties.

    In a recent ITV documentary, “Tabloids on Trial,” Harry voiced his fears of Meghan becoming a target of violence, citing the potential danger posed by a “knife” or “acid” attack. “It’s still dangerous, and all it takes is one lone actor,” Harry said, emphasizing his reluctance to bring Meghan and their children back to Britain.

    King Charles: Caught in the Crossfire

    The ongoing rift between the Sussexes and the Waleses has left King Charles deeply saddened, according to royal expert Hardman. Despite his efforts to mediate, Charles has found himself increasingly frustrated with the situation, especially as he navigates his own health challenges.

    “Of course, the king is extremely sad about Harry and Meghan, but there is a sense of exasperation,” Hardman told The Mirror. “He has done what he can and now, as king, there are many more things to think about.” Charles, it seems, has reached a point where he is stepping back from the family drama, choosing to focus on his duties as monarch.

    A Family Divided

    The revelations in Jobson’s book add another layer to the ongoing saga of the Royal Family’s internal struggles. As Harry prepares for his solo trip to the UK, the question remains whether any reconciliation is possible or if the divisions within the House of Windsor will continue to deepen.

    EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ‘firm message’ to senior royals before Colombia tour

    As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle journey to Colombia for a controversial four-day tour, an expert shares with the Mirror how they’ve delivered a firm message to senior Royals

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will send a ‘firm message’ to senior royals while on their Colombia tour, and it could ‘deepen their rift’ according to an expert.

    The Sussexes be flying out on a four-day trip to Colombia, visiting the capital of Bogota and the coastal city of Cartagena. As they’re no longer working royals, they won’t be representing the UK in an official capacity, but the trip will include many of the hallmarks of a classic royal tour.

    Now royal author Tom Quinn has spoken with the Mirror about the purpose behind the Sussexes’ trip, which marks their second tour of 2024, and he believes this is ‘undoubtedly Meghan and Harry’s way of sending a message to the senior royals’.

    Author Tom Quinn believes this latest trip could deepen the Royal rift

    According to Quinn, the author of Scandals of the Royal Palaces: An Intimate Memoir of Royals Behaving Badly, one of the Sussexes’ reasons for travelling to Colombia will spark irritation in the palaces Harry once called home before carving out his new independent life in California.

    Quinn said: “The tour is undoubtedly Meghan and Harry’s way of sending a message to the senior royals: ‘We will continue to behave as royals whenever and wherever we wish and there is nothing you can do about it’. It’s a message that can do nothing but deepen the rift between Harry and his family.

    “But for The Firm, the Colombia tour is an infuriating reminder that they cannot stop Meghan and Harry behaving as if they are working Royals – accepting an invitation from a sovereign state always makes it look as if Meghan and Harry are somehow acting in an official royal capacity.”

    During the couple’s last tour in May, which took them to Nigeria, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, confirmed the couple were not representing the British government on an official basis during their visit to the West African country. Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria at the time, Mr Montgomery clarified: “It’s great that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are visiting Nigeria, which I understand is at the invitation of Defence Headquarters. But they are visiting in a private capacity, not an official one. So, the British High Commission is not involved in arranging or facilitating their programme. They are not representing the work of His Majesty’s Government on this visit.”

    This distinction has raised questions about the purpose behind such tours, which are usually the domain of working members of the royal family. Harry and Meghan stepped back from official duties in 2020 and went on to make serious claims about their time in The Firm. The fifth in line to the throne, Harry remains a prince but has given up his military titles. The Sussexes have also kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, however, they are no longer addressed as his or her Royal Highness (HRH).

    However, four years on, Quinn believes the pair have lost some of their ‘glitter’, which they hope a successful tour could restore. He continued: “Despite opting out of official royal duties Meghan and Harry know that a national tour restores some of the glitter they lost when they left the UK for the States.

    “One or two palace officials have grumbled that Colombia is pretty much the only country that would have Meghan and Harry. And there is no doubt that senior Royals in the UK would have declined an invitation to visit a country where any kind of security is difficult to maintain. They are also worried that the Firm will be blamed for not trying to stop the tour should anything happen to Meghan and Harry while they are in Colombia.”

    Colombia is known to have a ‘high terrorist threat’, as well as soaring rates of abduction incidents. The Defence Ministry’s figures show that, from January to October 2022, at least 287 people were kidnapped by bandits, marking an alarming 73 per cent surge from the previous year. The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has urged Brits to ‘reconsider’ travelling to the country unless their visit is absolutely essential.

    SHUT UP TRAITOR! PrincessAnne DESTROY Harry In Three Words On Seeing Him At Paris

    Shut up Traitor! Princess Anne Destroys Prince Harry In Five Words At Paris Olympics 2024.The 2024 Paris Olympics were filled with high drama, fierce competition, and some unexpected moments off the field of play.

    Among the most talked-about incidents was a tense exchange between members of the British royal family that quickly went viral.It all started when Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, arrived at the Olympic stadium to attend the opening ceremony.

    As the younger son of the late Princess Diana and Prince Charles, Harry had been a beloved figure in the UK for many years. However, his decision to step back from royal duties in 2020 and relocate to California with his wife Meghan Markle had caused a major rift in the family.

    At the 2024 Paris Olympics, an unexpected royal drama unfolded when Princess Anne reportedly told Prince Harry, “Shut up, traitor,” in a tense exchange. This incident quickly went viral and reignited discussions about the ongoing rift within the British royal family.

    Prince Harry, attending the Olympics in an attempt to mend relations, was met with a cold reception from his family. The icy moment with Princess Anne, who has been a vocal critic of Harry’s decisions since his departure from royal duties, underscored the deep tensions that remain unresolved. Anne’s public rebuke of Harry reflected her frustration over his actions, including his controversial memoir and media appearances that have cast the royal family in an unfavorable light.

    The encounter sparked a range of reactions on social media, with some praising Princess Anne for defending the monarchy, while others criticized her for what they perceived as unnecessary cruelty. The event highlighted the fractured state of the once-united royal family, raising questions about whether these internal conflicts can ever be reconciled.

    As the Paris Olympics continued, the divide between Harry and the rest of the royal family remained evident, with the incident serving as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges facing the House of Windsor.

    The exchange between Prince Harry and Princess Anne at the 2024 Paris Olympics sparked a significant reaction on social media. One Twitter user expressed support for Anne’s harsh words, stating, “She said what we were all thinking—Harry deserved that for betraying the Queen and his family.” However, others were critical of Anne’s hostility, with one commenter describing it as “cruel and unnecessary,” arguing that despite Harry’s mistakes, he is still family and should be treated with more compassion.

    This moment highlighted the ongoing tension between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family, a rift that has been widening since Harry’s departure from royal duties in 2020 and subsequent public criticisms of the monarchy. His interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he and Meghan Markle made serious allegations against the royal family, and his memoir Spare, which revealed personal family details, have only deepened the divide.

    Princess Anne, known for her no-nonsense approach and loyalty to the crown, has been one of Harry’s most outspoken critics. Her outburst at the Olympics was seen by some as the culmination of her frustration with Harry’s actions, which she views as a betrayal of royal duties and values. The incident underscored the profound differences within the family, particularly between Anne’s dedication to royal service and Harry’s decision to pursue a different path.

    In the aftermath, Harry maintained his silence, possibly recognizing that any response might escalate the situation. The royal family also chose not to comment publicly, perhaps to avoid further publicity around their internal conflicts. However, insiders suggest that this incident has only exacerbated the existing tensions, making reconciliation even more unlikely.

    For the British public, the confrontation served as a stark reminder of the deep fractures within the House of Windsor. The once-united royal family now appears to be struggling with personal grudges, wounded pride, and a fundamental clash of values. As the Paris Olympics concluded, the future of the royal family’s unity remained uncertain, with many wondering whether the wounds could ever truly heal.

  • OMG! Harry CUT OUT Of Great Grandmother Will At Last Minute By King After Traitor Dishonored Queen

    OMG! Harry CUT OUT Of Great Grandmother Will At Last Minute By King After Traitor Dishonored Queen

    Inheritance Denied: The Complicated Saga of Prince Harry and the Royal Family.In a surprising and dramatic turn of events, King Charles III has made the decision to cut off Prince Harry from a substantial sum of money he was set to inherit from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, on his 40th birthday in September.

    This move has reignited the ongoing tensions within the British royal family and has left many royal observers and fans speculating about the underlying motivations behind the king’s decision.

    The £7 million inheritance, which was part of the Queen Mother’s personal estate, was meant to be passed down to Prince Harry as a way of honoring his close relationship with his great-grandmother.

    However, King Charles has reportedly decided to withhold this money, citing Harry’s highly publicized departure from royal life and his subsequent criticism of the monarchy as the primary reasons for this decision.

    In a surprising twist within the ongoing drama of the British royal family, King Charles III has reportedly made the decision to cut off Prince Harry from a significant inheritance.

    This inheritance, amounting to £7 million, was originally set to be passed down from his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, on his 40th birthday in September.

    However, due to Prince Harry’s public departure from royal duties and subsequent criticisms of the monarchy, the King has decided to withhold these funds.

    The Queen Mother had a close bond with Prince Harry and was a stabilizing presence in his life, especially after the death of his mother, Princess Diana. The decision to deny Harry his inheritance has sparked renewed tensions between him and the rest of the royal family.

    According to sources, King Charles believes that the Queen Mother would have been disappointed by Harry’s choices, particularly his marriage to Meghan Markle and their subsequent exit from royal life.

    This situation is being compared to the abdication of King Edward VIII, who left the throne to marry Wallis Simpson, a divorced American.

    Royal commentators are divided on the implications of King Charles’ decision. Some view it as a firm assertion of the King’s authority, signaling that there are consequences for actions that undermine the monarchy.

    Others, however, see it as a potentially damaging and petty move that could further alienate Harry and deepen the rift within the royal family.

    The decision also raises broader questions about the future of the monarchy, its relevance in a modern world, and whether it can adapt to changing dynamics within the family.

    As the House of Windsor navigates this latest challenge, the long-term implications for its unity and public support remain uncertain.

    This latest development is sure to keep royal observers and fans on edge as they await the next chapter in this ongoing saga.

    Prince George was one of eight Pages of Honour at the Royal Coronation last year but was unimpressed by one part of the traditional uniform which he feared he would be mocked for

    Concerns about what his school friends would say made Prince George persuade his grandfather to abandon a centuries-old tradition.

    The 11-year-old future heir and seven other boys were named Pages of Honour at the coronation of the King and Queen last year. The outfits traditionally come with white breeches, a smart red tunic and gold trimmings, black buckled shoes, and a lace cravat and ruffles.

    However, George was concerned about what his mates would say about the knee breeches, and so reportedly asked the King if that part of the outfit could be ignored. As a result, he and the other boys were allowed to wear trousers for the coronation.

    A source told MailOnline George “wasn’t keen on wearing tights and becoming a subject of ribaldry at school”. The Page of Honour were primarily responsible for carrying their long, heavy robes. The honour is usually granted to teenage sons of members of the nobility and gentry, and especially of senior Royal Household members.

    George walked behind his grandad, helping to carry his robes as he entered and left Westminster Abbey. The King and George’s father, Prince William, were keen for the young prince to have an important role on May 6 and decided he would be front and centre.

    The boys were family friends and relatives of Charles and Camilla. Despite the role traditionally going to boys aged 12 to 15, young George was given the task after showing a “deep interest” in the ceremony.

    A well-placed insider speaking before the Coronation added: “The King is very keen to show those in the line of ­succession, his natural heirs, at the centre of his Coronation. Even though he is only nine, George is very mature and already has a deep understanding of the roles of his grandfather and father, as well as his future role. “This task is a wonderful sign of the future being laid out by the King.”

    The King’s other Pages of Honour were Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, 13, Nicholas Barclay, 13, and Ralph Tollemache, 12. The Queen Consort’s Pages of Honour will be her grandsons, twins Gus and Louis Lopes, and Freddy Parker Bowles, along with great-nephew, Arthur Elliot.

    As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle touch down in Colombia ahead of their four-day tour, a royal expert has revealed that palace staff have been ‘grumbling’ about the couple’s ‘reckless’ decision

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have kicked off their four-day Colombia tour and according to one expert, it’s already raised eyebrows in the Palace.

    Although they’re no longer working royals, the Sussexes intend to continue royal-style tours overseas in a non-official capacity, with Colombia marking their second big trip of 2024. Focusing on projects aimed at safeguarding young people from online dangers, Colombia’s Vice President Francia Márquez has revealed that Harry and Meghan will be visiting schools to promote the importance of digital literacy and to raise awareness regarding issues concerning mental health.

    Mr Márquez has asserted that the couple will ‘have the exceptional opportunity to engage with elders, youth and women who embody the aspirations and voices of Colombians’. However, not everyone has responded so positively to this semi-regal tour, with senior royal and palace staff alike said to be ‘bewildered’…

    Royal author Tom Quinn told the Mirror: “News that Harry and Meghan have accepted an invitation to tour Columbia has caused bewilderment, concern and some irritation among senior royals in the UK. The view is that Meghan and Harry are now so desperate to maintain their brand and stop the slide in their relevance that they are recklessly prepared to visit one of the most dangerous countries in the world – in 2023 Columbia had the third highest murder rate in South America.”

    Colombia is notorious for its ‘high terrorist threat’, as well as skyrocketing rates of abduction incidents. Shocking Defence Ministry figures show that, from January to October 2022, at least 287 people were kidnapped by bandits, marking an alarming 73 per cent surge from the previous year. The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has warned Brits to ‘reconsider’ travelling to the country unless absolutely essential.

    According to Quinn, the author of Scandals of the Royal Palaces: An Intimate Memoir of Royals Behaving Badly, there have also been ‘grumbles’ amongst members of staff. He continued: “One or two palace officials have grumbled that Colombia is pretty much the only country that would have Meghan and Harry. And there is no doubt that senior Royals in the UK would have declined an invitation to visit a country where any kind of security is difficult to maintain.

    “They are also worried that the Firm will be blamed for not trying to stop the tour should anything happen to Meghan and Harry while they are in Colombia.”

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s visit to the South American nation reportedly aims to ‘illuminate Colombia’s role as a beacon of culture and innovation’. During their stay, Harry and Meghan will immerse themselves in the country’s arts and culture scene while visiting the capital city of Bogotá, as well as Cartagena and Cali, before meeting with Colombia’s Invictus Games team.

    The Mirror has approached Kensington Palace for comment.
