Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s popularity may seem to be at an all-time low in the UK at the moment — but according to a prominent royal commentator, the pair have a shot at repairing their image.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sensationally turned their back on the royal family soon after quitting palace life in 2020.

Since then, they’ve only returned to Harry’s home turf a couple of times.

But according to royal expert and commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, the duo have a good shot at boosting their popularity if they do two things in particular.

“Much depends on Meghan’s cookery program for Netflix and how well American Riviera Orchard, her lifestyle brand, actually does,” Fitzwilliams told the Mirror of the “Suits” alum’s new business ventures.

“Meanwhile, it seems most unlikely that more awards will come Harry’s way anytime soon.”

Fitzwilliams added that the pair’s A-list roster of friends “who openly support them” could play a key part in fixing their public image.

Still, some of the couple’s famous pals may do more harm than good in upping their popularity.

“Nacho Figueras is a friend of Harry’s, and will appear in Harry’s series on polo for Netflix,” the royal expert said. “Yet this is an elitist sport and unlikely to draw a large number of viewers.”

“Harry has, of course, outstanding legal issues over security and with the press which he intends to pursue in Britain but this is surely not destined to be his main claim to fame in the future.”

In addition to Figueras and his model wife, Delfina Blaquier, the pair boast close friendships with tennis legend Serena Williams, reality star and “momager” Kris Jenner, Mindy Kaling, Tracee Ellis Ross, Ellen DeGeneres and more.

The duo struck up a slew of high-profile friendships after moving to Montecito, California, four years ago.

Simultaneously, they launched several attacks on Harry’s estranged relatives, causing a major rift between them and the Windsor clan.

The duo went on to sign on the dotted line for a series of tell-all projects, each of which revealed bombshell details about life in the palace.

King Charles is “extremely sad” over the ongoing feud between his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, according to a prominent royal author.

The monarch, 75, has been caught in the middle of the crossfire between the Wales and the Sussex camps ever since Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, quit royal life and moved to the US in 2020.

Four years later, things are still not getting easier for his majesty to deal with.

“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,” Robert Hardman, royal historian and author of “Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story,” told the Mirror.

“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.’”

Hardman said Charles is “hurt” and struggling over the Prince of Wales’ widening rift with his younger son, the Duke of Sussex.

The king’s rumored remarks come just days after royal experts claimed William had made a “tough and resolute” stance on his fractured relationship with his estranged brother.

Their already damaged bond was made worse with the release of Harry’s bombshell memoir “Spare” in January 2023.

Elsewhere, another royal expert suggested that it was easier for William to cut ties with his brother than to be “continually annoyed” at him.

“William has always been a strong character,” Jennie Bond told OK! magazine. “I think his broken childhood made him tough and resolute.”

“He now has the reputation of being stubborn and, once his mind is made up, he sticks to his decision,” she added.

Bond suggested that William — who is two years older than Harry — has become the “enforcer” of the Firm since the death of their grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

“He is definitely someone who commands respect within the family and whose views hold considerable sway,” she said of the father of three.

Leaked: Prince Harry & Meghan Markle’s Fracas Over Ashley Hansen, Meghan Furious Over Variety Carpet Incident

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are grappling with yet another challenge as the year draws to a close, which is further affecting their already declining careers. Recent reports have unveiled a significant development: the couple’s Global Press Secretary, Ashley Hansen, has tendered her resignation after serving in this role for over a year. This information initially surfaced in an article from The Sunday Times and was also covered by Insider, though the original article has since been removed.
 

The sources close to the situation shed light on Ashley’s departure from the core team of Prince Harry and Meghan. It was disclosed that Ashley had been exploring freelance opportunities independently. However, regrettably, these opportunities did not align with the Sussexes’ plans, despite her being highly regarded by their team. Ashley encountered a common challenge in her role – clients not always heeding her advice, hinting at underlying tensions.

Now, Royal expert Neil SCH has provided insights into Ashley’s exit and why the Times article was removed. In his latest YouTube video, Neil commented on the situation, saying, “How could it be that Meghan and Harry are not taking direction well? What we can tell you exclusively on the show is that there has been quite a fracas. The fracas essentially stems from that Variety appearance, where Meghan was visibly upset. In fact, she was asked to move along the red carpet, and it seemed like she was sticking there like glue. That incident has evolved into something of a catastrophe.”

As of now, Ashley Hansen has refrained from making any public statements, especially over the festive season. The reason behind The Times newspaper’s removal of the article from their website and subsequent follow-ups is the widespread denial from the particular camp involved. What is evident is that there is turmoil within their team. Allegedly, Prince Harry wishes for Ashley to remain in her role and believes she’s doing a terrific job. However, according to the same source, Megan is not particularly pleased, which is unsurprising given the incident on the Variety red carpet back in November.

During that appearance on the red carpet at Variety’s Power of Women Gala, Megan displayed her irritation. In a cameo on the red carpet, Ashley appeared to gently nudge Megan, who laughed and turned to speak to her assistant instead of walking along the red carpet.

It is worth noting that Megan Markle has been vocal about working on several exciting projects following a period of few new releases throughout the year. Unfortunately, it seems that Megan is encountering difficulties in securing work within the entertainment industry, primarily due to the persistent negative press surrounding her and Prince Harry in recent years. According to Deadline, there is a reluctance within the industry to collaborate with the Sussexes, driven by their ongoing feud with the royal family and the extensive gossip surrounding their marriage and lifestyle.

Furthermore, it appears that Megan Markle has not secured the movie or television roles that many had expected her to land by now. Megan was written out of the legal drama “Suits” and distanced herself from Hollywood before beginning her relationship with Prince Harry in 2016.

Meghan Markle’s Emotional Reaction to Livvy Dunne’s Critique of Her Red Carpet Appearance

Livvy Dunne has weighed in on Meghan Markle’s ESPYs dress, which sparked debate despite her role as a Duchess in the British royal family. Even Markle, it seems, can occasionally miss the mark in fashion, according to Dunne, an up-and-coming gymnastics talent who candidly shared her views on Markle’s controversial attire at this year’s ceremony.

In a lively video posted on her social media platform, the 20-year-old NCAA sportsman scrutinized various contentious aspects of Markle’s extended white dress, from its overly ceremonial design to what she viewed as an ill-considered choice of color. Dunne didn’t hold back, labeling Duchess Meghan’s attire as “dreadful” and completely out of place for an athletic awards occasion.

Dunne’s mischievous grin was evident as she began, “I can’t help but mention Meghan Markle’s outfit at the ESPYs. It was such a letdown. What could possibly have been going through her mind?”

During the red carpet event for the ESPYs in Los Angeles in July 2022, Markle wore a white floor-length gown by Louis Vuitton. The dress featured long sleeves, a high neck, and a flowing skirt that resembled something more fitting for bridal wear. This choice puzzled Dunne, especially considering Markle’s previous career as an actress on “Suits.” The gymnast shook her head in disappointment, commenting that the dress seemed matronly and informal, which wasn’t the right vibe for a sports award show.

 

Dunne found it particularly perplexing that Markle opted for white, a color traditionally reserved for brides on their wedding day. With a look of confusion on her face, Dunne exclaimed how odd and unsuitable it seemed at the ESPYs. She advised Markle to steer clear of white dresses unless she’s actually getting married herself, adhering to social norms. 

Dunne’s critique extended beyond color. The athlete expressed dissatisfaction with the dress’s length, believing it was excessively long and made the Duchess appear unflattering and old-fashioned. She criticized the gown’s dragging on the ground, which, in her view, resulted in an unflattering appearance.

Supporting her commentary with screenshots and behind-the-scenes clips of Markle at the red carpet, Dunne’s analysis as an experienced gymnast was sharp. It painted a critical picture of Markle’s fashion decision at the event.

Dunne couldn’t grasp the reasoning behind wearing something so formal and unsuitable for the occasion. She shook her head in confusion, concluding that it was indeed an odd choice.

Markle’s fashion choices have often come under scrutiny, with the media closely monitoring her wardrobe and sparking debates among royal watchers and fashion experts alike. Dunne’s critique of Markle’s ESPYs gown struck a chord with many viewers. The gymnast’s video quickly gained popularity, attracting numerous views and comments from enthusiastic fans who shared her opinion.

One viewer remarked, “Livvy hit the nail on the head, that dress was a disaster.” Another agreed, stating, “Meghan missed the mark with her choice of gown,” fully supporting Dunne’s view that it was entirely unsuitable for the occasion.

Athletes also joined the conversation, including a basketball player who commented on Markle’s outfit choice, saying, “Livvy was spot-on. Meghan looked more suited for the Oscars than the ESPYs.”

With Victoria Beckham as her mama, it’s no wonder Harper Beckham is such a glam Queen already.

While she has her daredevil traits and love of sports from her dad, David Beckham, Harper has also grown obsessed with the glamorous world her mother has and is truly becoming a mini Posh Spice.

And recently, for Victoria’s 50th birthday bash on April 20, Harper donned such a chic look that reminds us so much of her mama!

Victoria loves luxe, especially minimalist, gorgeous dresses, and her daughter understood the assignment.

For the big night, we can see in the photos obtained by DailyMail that she donned a satin white dress, white heels, and a matching box clutch.

She is already such a stylish kiddo, and with her mom being who she is, we have no doubt that she’ll be as fashion-forward as her!

For those who don’t know, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham married in 1999 after getting together in 1997. Since then, they’ve welcomed four children named Brooklyn, born in 1999, Romeo, born in 2002, Cruz, born in 2005, and Harper, born in 2011.

Along with clearly getting her mom’s iconic style, it seems Harper also loves makeup, just like Victoria!

“So when I’m out looking for the perfect contour — usually with Harper, who’s obsessed with makeup,” she told The Times in 2023. “She’s been able to do a full face and contour for quite some time. She’s good at doing it very naturally. Going to Space NK [a British beauty retailer] is her favorite treat after school. If she’s doing well in a test I’ll take her to the one down the road — it’s her favorite thing. She’s obsessed.”

Victoria Beckham shared her support for her son Brooklyn after he received a backlash over his latest cooking tutorial.

The budding chef has taken to sharing tutorials on social media with his fans, but he doesn’t always receive rave reviews.

In the latest update, he rustled up a ‘Flying Dutchman’ in a sponsored advertising deal with Chosen Foods but fans joked that they’d “heard McDonalds are hiring”.

He introduced: ” You first start off with grounding your meat, then we cut up some potatoes. Next up is the onion. Two similar sizes so it can be replaced by the bun.”

Brooklyn then filed a saucepan with avocado oil – which costs £21 a bottle – before frying potato chips and moving onto the burger.

Fans criticised him for using processed cheese slices and the “wrong type of potato” but Brooklyn’s father took to Instagram to praise his son.

He wrote: “My boy just loves to cook. Just like his dad. Burger was soooo good. Bust.”

Victoria shared her husband’s post on her own Story and joked: “He gets it from me!!” She later shared an adorable picture of Brooklyn and David laughing. She wrote: “My boys!!”

This isn’t the first time Brooklyn’s culinary skills have come under fire with critics slamming his simple recipes and use of pricey ingredients. However, he continues to venture into the world of cooking and earlier this year partnered with Uber Eats to launch his own pop-up restaurant on the food delivery platform.

The short menu offered five of Brookyln’s favourite dishes: chicken tikka masala, slow-cooked Bolognese, pork and prawn dumplings, an English Breakfast sandwich, and a bowl of deep-fried buttermilk cauliflower. Brooklyn did not cook the dishes himself, with Uber confirming that a “team of chefs” would be cooking the food instead.

In an interview with Insider, Brooklyn insisted he is not fazed those that criticise him and he vowed to continue with his culinary career as “cooking makes him happy”. He said: “To be honest, I’m used to the hate. It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me… I’m doing my thing and working my bum off.”

Brooklyn continued: “To be honest, I’m used to the hate. It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me… My message to them is to keep writing whatever they want to write.

“There are always going to be people out there who try and pull you down. II’m doing my thing and working my bum off. So they can keep writing what they want, but it’s not going to bother me — I’m just going to keep doing my thing.”

Victoria Beckham showed off her fun side as she danced, while husband David Beckham channeled Elton John.

The couple are enjoying a holiday in the south of France, relaxing on the Rocketman singer’s yacht.

It was a break away from Victoria’s usual self, as she normally has quite a somber appearance.

Victoria, 45, acted silly as she lip-synced to Barbara Streisand’s Guilty with Elton’s husband David Furnish.

The Spice Girl shimmied along and threw her arms around, performing the hit song.

She loved her performance with David, who she joked was her Barry Gibb.

Victoria captioned the video: ‘Beyond obsessed with @barbarastreisand… And loving my Barry Gibb! Kisses @davidfurnish’.

The mother later shared a photo of her husband in a Versace shirt and a pair of sparkly shades.

She captioned the snap: ‘This is everything #rocketman’.

Victoria and David are close pals with Elton, who joined them on his boat for their holiday.

He posed in a photo with the parents, wrapping his arm around Victoria in one.

Victoria wore a glamorous black dress on the yacht, similar to a white one she wore just days before.

David had poked fun at Victoria’s frock, sharing a photo of her in the dress and captioning it: ‘I mean come on really.

However, Victoria got her revenge and shared a sneaky shot of David as she slept.

The Beckhams, including their children, are enjoying a trip around Europe together and visiting various countries.

Earlier this month the family enjoyed a brief stay in the Italian region of Puglia.

They went out on a boat and tried their hand at parasailing — which youngest Harper, seven, didn’t seem to a big fan of.

If the Beckhams were searching for a mansion with absolutely every mod con imaginable, they chose the right place during their recent trip to Australia.

David and Victoria Beckham settled into the Popov Bass designed home in Mosman with their children to enjoy the amazing harbour views!

Set on a block with sweeping views of Balmoral beach, the mansion uses a cream, white and neutral colour scheme to fully highlight the vibrant blue ocean view and green expanse of lawn.

Inside, the vibe is modern and luxurious, with clean lines and modern Miele machinery to make life as simple and easy as possible.

The huge eatery and kitchen space lead to a massive outdoor area and terrace, which also have a gorgeous view of the water, just in case Posh and Becks wanted to have any mates around for a BBQ.

For the kids there’s a wet-edge pool and a steam room, or just in case Becks was in the mood to work out with a few laps.

The spacious house also offers an internal lift, wine cellar, underfloor heating and a rumpus room, plus a gym.

A security system ensured the stars had privacy while relaxing.

The Beckhams seemed to take a liking to the suburb, sending a rep to check out houses for sale in the area (according to a report by the AFR).

The family also enjoyed some hot North Shore spots:

Zac Efron, wearing a Lakers cap, and David Beckham enjoying some nosh

Both attended last night’s (November 13, 2012) Los Angeles Lakers vs the San Antonio Spurs game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA.

Beckham, a regular at the Staples Center, took time to chat with the Spurs’ point guard and ex-husband of Eva Longoria (Victoria Beckham‘s good friend), Tony Parker.

I wonder how Eva will feel about that?
