  • Queen Elizabeth II’s Will Reveals Shocking Omission for Prince Harry

    Queen Elizabeth II’s Will Reveals Shocking Omission for Prince Harry

    Queen Elizabeth II’s Will Reveals Shocking Omission for Prince Harry

    In a moment that has set tongues wagging and minds racing, the much-anticipated will of Queen Elizabeth II has been unveiled, sending ripples of surprise and intrigue through the royal household and beyond.

    The most striking revelation?

    The absence of any inheritance or property bequeathed to her grandson, Prince Harry.

    This unexpected development has been widely interpreted as a deliberate gesture of detachment, a symbolic statement crafted by the late monarch to underscore the existing tensions between Harry and the rest of the royal kin.Why Prince Harry Hasn't Taken the Stand to Testify Against MGN Yet

    By excluding Harry from her will, the Queen’s message is crystal clear – a reflection of her disapproval of his decision to step back from royal obligations in 2020 and relocate to the United States with his spouse, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.

    Experts in royal matters assert that this intentional exclusion by the Queen serves as a bold and unequivocal declaration of her stance on Harry’s choices.

    It stands as a poignant testament to her disappointment in her grandson’s actions and his divergence from the time-honored traditions of the British monarchy.

    The well-documented fracture between Harry and the royal family, amplified by their candid interviews and disclosures about their encounters within the institution, has only deepened the existing strains in their relationship.

    The Queen’s will now emerges as the latest battleground in this ongoing familial saga, marking a significant chapter in the evolving narrative of the House of Windsor.

    While Harry may have been left out of the Queen’s will, it is essential to note that he remains a beneficiary of his late mother, Princess Diana’s estate, ensuring him a substantial safety net.

    Some observers posit that the Queen’s decision to exclude him from her will may not carry as severe a sting as initially perceived.

    Nevertheless, the symbolic weight of the Queen’s final testament cannot be underestimated.

    The absence of any provision for Harry is widely construed as a deliberate act of aloofness, a lasting imprint of the Queen’s discontent with her nephew’s choices and his estrangement from the royal fold.

    The repercussions of this disclosure are poised to reverberate widely as the family navigates the aftermath of the Queen’s passing and grapples with the enduring tensions that define Harry’s interactions with his kin.

    The burning question on everyone’s lips is whether this ultimate act by the Queen will deepen the chasms or pave the way for reconciliation and renewal within the royal domain.

    As the world mourns the loss of its revered monarch and the dust settles on this latest revelation, one thing remains certain – the Queen’s will now stands as a pivotal chapter in the enthralling and often tumultuous chronicles of British royalty.

    Enthusiasts of regal intricacies will undoubtedly feel the echoes of this disclosure resonate for years to come.

  • Loose Women star breaks silence after co-star Carol McGiffin slammed ‘woke’ show

    Loose Women star breaks silence after co-star Carol McGiffin slammed ‘woke’ show

    Loose Women star Charlene White has broken her silence following co-star Carol McGiffin’s shock exit as she recently slammed for ITV show for being ‘very woke’

    Loose Women’s Charlene White has said that she “understands” why co-star Carol McGiffin has left the show.

    Presenter and TV personality Carol, 63, left fans wondering where she was as she hadn’t appeared on the ITV programme in recent weeks.

    After much speculation, the Loose Women star finally broke her silence explaining she had been forced to “step away” from the show.

    Carol claims she was being asked to sign a contract which was “totally unjust and unworkable for me”.

    She has even gone as far to say she no longer watches the show and as it has become too “woke” for her.

    Charlene, who regularly appears on the show, says she will miss Carol “hugely” after they had “so much fun” together.

    “I understand her reason for leaving – we are all individuals and all see things in our own individual way,” she told The Sun.

    “It’s a huge shame, the show will really miss her and as a group we’ll really miss her, she’s our colleague and we’ve worked with her for a really long time.”

    While speaking to GB News host Dan Wootton, Carol said: “Well put it this way, reading all the comments from the article at the weekend there are a lot of people who think the programme has gone very, very woke.”

    Dan replied: “I feel that as a viewer. I don’t watch any more.” Carol then admitted: “Well, neither do I. The whole of mainstream media is very, very woke.”

    “You just don’t have to keep forcing this stuff down peoples’ throats, it’s not just ITV, the BBC is probably worse actually – and saying that, Channel 4 is probably the worst out of all of them. It’s not a place where I feel I fit in,” she added.

    She added of ITV: “They come back and say we support free speech but I can’t see it, I can’t really see it – from where I’m sitting anyway.”

    Carol then suggested: “I’m not sure whether or not that was the reason I was given the contract I was given.”

    It has also been alleged that an interview Carol gave to TNT talk radio prompted the disagreement with ITV due to comments she made.

    She suggested that news organisations had been ‘brainwashing’ the public over the risks of Covid in order to spark widespread mental health breakdowns.

    An ITV spokesperson previously told The Mirror: “Any theories around Covid discussed by Carol on a platform outside of ITV would be her personal opinions, have not been broadcast as part of Loose Women and do not represent the views of ITV.

    “Here at ITV we encourage free speech, but equally are fully committed to responsible broadcasting and adhering to the OfCom code.

    “ITV will not comment on speculation around individual contracts. We understand that Carol has decided to leave Loose Women and we wish her well in any future projects.”

    Carol told James Freeman’s The Freeman Report: “I always look back at when I started working in television and radio as the good old days because they were much less policed, I suppose. Much less restricted and it was a freer place to be.

    “When I look back at the old Loose Womens I used to do from 2000 all the until I left in 2013, they’re completely different. There is so much offence. People take so much offence at so much and they never used to.”

    Loose Women’s Ruth Langsford makes thinly veiled dig at Holly and Phil ‘feud’

    Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has seemingly made a thinly veiled dig at Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield’s ‘feud’ as she hosted the ITV lunchtime show today

    Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has seemingly made a thinly veiled dig at Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield’s ‘feud’.

    The presenting partnership have been hit by rumours that their friendship outside the show has ‘cooled’, which caused Phil to issue a lengthy statement to insist all is well between the pair and that had both had a few tough weeks but were still firm friends.

    Many have since seemingly referenced the pair’s ‘feud’ as well as what might happen on the show in the coming months and weeks, with those including Fern Britton and Rylan Clark seemingly making comments in relation to it.

    Ruth was the latest to seemingly make a dig at the pair’s feud today, as the Loose Women panel discussed dating. They were asked if they would let someone set them up with a friend, with Coleen Nolan revealing she would gladly let them all set her up.

    “I would trust all of you to pick a blind date for me – well would I?” Coleen said, before hesitating.

    Ruth said she should trust her, before quipping: “We might be feuding at the time!” leaving the others in hysterics.

    It wasn’t made clear by Ruth if she could be noting the current ‘feud’ between Holly and Phil, or if she could have been referencing reports of a feud between some of the Loose Women star backstage.

We’re the best of friends – as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone. Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I’ve been there for her.”

    The insider said: “This Morning’s relationship with its viewers is built on trust, and they have to believe that Holly and Phil’s friendship, and what they’re watching, is real. While there was a bit of noise and speculation about their relationship cooling, it could have easily been ignored. But by putting this statement out there, he has turned what was a manageable situation into a feeding frenzy.

    I’m A Celeb’s Paul Burrell furiously slams ‘annoying’ Janet Street Porter amid brutal feud

    Former Royal butler Paul Burrell has hit back at former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star Janet Street Porter after she claimed that the pair were never friends

    I’m A Celebrity… South Africa star Paul Burrell has slammed Loose Women panellist Janet Street Porter amid their ongoing feud.

    Janet, 76, mocked Princess Diana’s former Royal butler on the ITV programme after he claimed that they are still friends after appearing on I’m A Celebrity together back in 2004.

    Earlier this month, the opinionated Loose Women star claimed Paul had annoyed ITV producers when he appeared on the iconic show.

    When host Ruth Langsford asked if Janet and Paul they were still friends, Janet cryptically claimed that she was never friends with him, and merely tolerated him.

    In a savage response, she said: “When I say the words, myth versus reality. It was more a question of tolerating him. They thing about Paul is they [the producers] wanted him to talk about being a Royal butler. But he didn’t want to talk about it.”

    “I kept getting someone to go to the diary room and saying ‘get him to talk about the corgis,” she added.

    After hearing Janet’s response, Paul has now hit back at her claims, calling the Loose Women star ‘annoying’.

    “Had Janet Street Porter come down that tunnel, and I’d say this to her face, I might’ve gone out the back door, I might’ve screamed ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here’, I think there might’ve been sparks,” Paul clapped back.

    “She’s an anti-monarchist, I’m a monarchist and I think there’s a huge gap between myself and Janet Street-Porter. Is she my nemesis? Only if I let her.”

    “I think she’d like to wrap her hands around my neck, but there you go, it’s a love-hate relationship.”

    The former royal butler and Janet took part back in the ITV jungle series in 2004, both providing some of the most entertaining scenes ever on the show hosted by Ant and Dec.

    Coronation Street star Mauren Lipman ‘exhausted’ ahead of emotional soap exit

    Veteran actress Dame Mauren Lipman has revealed how she “couldn’t go on” as she speaks out about her decision to leave Coronation Street after filming her final scenes

    Coronation Street favourite Mauren Lipman says she is ‘exhausted’ as she prepares to call time on the Cobbles.

    The veteran actress – battle axe Evelyn Plummer on the ITV soap – has a new job after five years as the cantankerous corner shop worker.

    The 76-year-old Dame made her first appearance on the soap in September 2018 as the grandmother of Tyrone Dobbs and has been a huge hit with viewers ever since.

    But she’s leaving for a while after bosses agreed to a break so she can reprise the role of Rose in Martin Sherman’s one-woman West End play.

    She has already filmed her final scenes as Evelyn and will bow out in the coming weeks.

    The good news is that Mauren signed a new contract so will return to Corrie – but not before she’s taken to the stage.

    “They’ve really put me through it the last few weeks,” she said on Loose Women.

    “I’ve had seven scenes to learn a day. The last shot last night I literally lay on the floor and said, ‘I can’t go on’.”

    She explained: “That is me at the end of yesterday, and now I’m here sparkling.”

    Talking about returning as Rose, Maureen said: “I am delighted to be putting Rose back on her bench for a limited run at the Ambassadors in May.

    “I thought I could never have the power to revisit Martin Sherman’s mystical, magical deeply philosophical and wildly funny creation, but Rose is in my blood and she has to be revived.”

    “Performance is perhaps the wrong word; she totally inhabits the role, the woman, the space, the language, the times, the events.

    “I’m so happy that her astonishing alchemy has the opportunity to be witnessed again.”

  • S Club 7 Paul Cattermole’s heartbreakingly kind act after being given shirt to wear on TV

    S Club 7 Paul Cattermole’s heartbreakingly kind act after being given shirt to wear on TV

    S Club 7 legend Paul Cattermole, who tragically died at the age of 46, didn’t have enough money to pay for a new outfit for his TV appearance but left behind the one he was given

    During one of his toughest times, Paul Cattermole made a heartbreakingly kind act after a Loose Women appearance.

    The S Club 7 legend, who tragically died at the age of 46, didn’t have enough money to pay for a new outfit for his TV appearance back in 2018.

    Keen to have Paul be on the show, Loose Women bosses gave him a smart black long-sleeved top so he could entertain fans and speak about his life.

    They expected that the singer would keep the shirt, but Paul kindly decided to leave it behind – and took to Twitter afterwards to explain why.

    Paul heartbreakingly explained that he didn’t want anyone to think that he was stealing the shirt.

    “Thanks to all the Ladies @ loosewomen thanks for being so nice,” he tweeted the show’s official account.

    “I left the shirt in the dressing room. Just in case you though I had pilfered it.”

    Fans flocked to Paul after his admission, telling him he was brave to talk about how little money he had after the success of S Club 7.

    “I Was so moved by your interview. Such a brave thing to do. It must have been so difficult for you. I hope you are soon in a better situation. Emotionally and financially. And remember that there are a lot of people who love and care for you. Always remember that,” one said.

    “I just wanted to give you a big hug and invite you over for a cooked meal after hearing of your financial troubles. Hope it looks up for you,” wrote another.

    A third told him: “Keep your head held high. Your life will turn around. Keep positive. I always say think positive and positive things happen.”

    The singer opened up about his serious money troubles on Loose Women during a very emotional interview.

    When Jane asked whether any family members had helped him out with his money troubles, he insisted that his “mum has helped in a big way this year”.

    He also said that he was very keen to dip his toe into reality TV, citing Dancing On Ice and I’m A Celeb as examples, but quipped: “For some reason they don’t want me”.

    Paul was an S Club favourite – and broke hearts across the nation when it was announced he was quitting the band back in 2002.

    “It had got to the point where things were being handled so badly, I had to go,” Paul told The Guardian.

    Paul reunited with some old school friends to form nu metal group Skua, but they split in 2003 after failing to sign a record deal.

    Five years after S Club broke up, Paul started performing at nightclub, universities and holiday camps across the UK with Jo and Bradley as S Club 3.

    It has been confirmed Paul died of natural causes after he was found dead at his Dorset home last month.

    The coroner’s service has confirmed Paul died of natural causes and no inquest into the singer’s death will take place.

    However Dorset Police, who found Paul’s body on April 6, said their enquiries were “ongoing”.

    Following his death, a spokeswoman for the coroner said: “We confirm that Mr Cattermole died from natural causes and our investigations have concluded. As his death was from natural causes there will be no inquest.”

    Paul’s band S Club 7 were due to reunite for a 25th anniversary tour this year but S Club member Hannah Spearritt announced her decision not to continue with the reunion tour, however the rest of the band will reunite.

    Loose Women’s Kaye Adams explains why she lied about her own age to her ‘horrified’ daughter

    Kaye Adams has explained her reasoning for lying to her daughter about her age after admitting she had ‘shaved eight to 12 years’ off her true age and lied about her date of birth

    Kaye Adams has explained her reasoning for lying to her daughter about her age.

    The Loose Women star came clear to her daughter recently about her true age, after admitting she had shaved eight to 12 years off her age. She had expected her daughter to find it funny, but in fact she was heartbroken her mum had lied to her.

    As she appeared on This Morning with hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Kaye explained that her mother had always been “troubled” about her own age, something which she must have passed onto her as she was growing up.

    Speaking on This Morning today, she said: “I was troubled about my age, and my mum used to be the same. I laughed at my mum because she would never say what age she was to someone and if we threatened the children to do it, she would be like ‘shut up’.

    “She would always say, ‘I’m over 21,’ and we laughed at her at the time and then you obviously take on board these messages and I did and I shaved a good eight or 12 years off with my daughter.”

    She added: “And then I thought, this is ridiculous and I got a grip of myself and I took her for a coffee and I thought she’d be howling with laughter and think mum you’re funny – and her little face just dropped.

    “What was a joke to me was actually stupid and I kind of thought, this is daft.”

    Kaye revealed she went as far as to fake her date of birth to keep it away from her daughter.

    She previously told The Mirror: “It’s pathetic but I lopped off 10 years and merrily lied away, including a fake date of birth which I had off pat. I’m generally an honest person but I’ve always been a good liar and parents lie all the time to little children.

    “At the time I did it without thinking – it’s just a stupid habit you get into and think it’s funny. But now when I look back, I think, ‘Oh my God, you were sick.’ By the time she got to around 12 I was beginning to feel uncomfortable. So I broke the truth to her in a coffee shop, which was a lot more traumatic than I thought it would be.”

    She added: “She had it in her head I was the same age as her friends’ parents and suddenly I wasn’t and that rocked her.”

  • Denise Welch suffered first panic attack after giving birth to son Matty Healy

    Denise Welch suffered first panic attack after giving birth to son Matty Healy

    Loose Women panellist Denise Welch has shed light on her thirty-year battle with depression which mounted after the birth of her first son, singer Matty Healy, in 1989

    Denise Welch has lifted the lid on her battle with mental health, depression, and post-natal depression after she became a first-time mother.

    The Loose Women star, 64, is a proud mum to 1975 frontman Matty Healy, 34, and her younger son, Louis, 22.

    The former Coronation Street star has long been open about her battle with her inner demons, but she has now given more insight than ever into how she first dealt with her very first panic attack which came out of nowhere just days after she gave birth to Matty back in 1989.

    After enjoying a peaceful and problem-free pregnancy with her first child, things took a turn for the worst for Denise on one random day when everything appeared to build up and emerge in the form of a panic-attack which left the new mum feeling as though she was dying.

    The proud mum-of-two shared her experience with other mums in a lengthy caption on Instagram as she took a look back at her first pregnancy.

    Alongside a sweet throwback snap of her and her famous son Matty, Denise penned: “This is 2 days before Matty was born, April 1989. Happy, excited, nervous. I had a brilliant pregnancy and wasn’t even bothered when he was 9 days late.

    “Long labour but he was a healthy 8lbs and we were thrilled with our beautiful boy. I wasn’t anxious. I loved the first few days even though he cried a lot.

    “A week later out of nowhere, during a walk with my mum, my life changed forever. After my first-ever panic attack a feeling of unreality came over me and within an hour I was in a thick, black, terrifying depression. I didn’t eat for weeks. I was almost catatonic.

    “I tried for 20 years to get someone to listen to me that I felt my illness was hormonal. No one really helped me.

    “Years of good days and bad days followed. Several ‘nervous breakdowns’ as we called them and every antidepressant known to man, which undoubtedly did help for sure.

    The Loose Women star concluded by urging her followers who may find themselves in the same position as she once was to ‘reach out’.

    “We have HRT and it’s our right to be given it. Reach out and shout from the rooftops if you have to. Accept any help offered. Don’t suffer in silence. With the right help life with your baby will be wonderful,” she ended the post.

    Inside Josie Gibson’s difficult love life as she wants a man but can’t be ‘bothered’ to date

    Josie Gibson shot to fame after winning hit reality TV show Big Brother back in 2010, and while she had an on-screen romance at the time, since then it’s not been plane sailing

    This Morning’s Josie Gibson is adored throughout the country as the TV star that won our hearts when she first appeared in Big Brother.

    And more than a decade later, she has now been confirmed as Phillip Schofield’s replacement after he quit ITV amid his “unwise but not illegal” affair with a much younger colleague.

    When Josie joined Big Brother, she struck up a relationship with fellow contestant John James Parton and went on to win the 2010 series of the hit reality show.

    But the former financial sales rep wasn’t so lucky in love and her relationship came to an end just a year later.

    Since then, her love life has kept chins wagging, as she recently declared she was looking for a new partner, adding: “I’d love attention from a man!”

    But then she announced the revelation that she was leaving the dating world as the mum-of-one admitted she simply “can’t be bothered” to find love again.

    What do you think about Josie’s love life? Let us know in the comments…

    When she appeared on ITV’s Loose Women at the start of the year, Josie shared some candid details about her love life and insisted it wasn’t her top priority at the time.

    Chatting with Kaye Adams, Katie Piper, Judi Love and Kelly Holmes, Josie said she’d rather focus on her four-year-old son Reggie than find a new man to date.

    Speaking on the show, she said: “Judi, where would I fit them in because I’m either at work or I’m looking after my little boy?

    “The thing is, I’m only doing it the one time. So if I date somebody, that’s time I’m taking away from my little boy and I want to spend as much time as humanely possible with him.”

    The 38-year-old star had her son Reggie, four, with her ex-boyfriend Terry – whom she split from later a few years ago.

    She insisted that everything is “amicable” with Terry and the pair are co-parenting together.

    She said in an interview with OK! magazine in 2022: “He’s a brilliant dad.

    “He idolises Reg and Reg idolises him. It’s a shame it didn’t work out with us but actually, he dedicates his time to Reg, so Reg gets the best of both of us.

    “I was brought up without a dad and I wouldn’t want that for my little boy.”

    Terry moved back in with Josie during the pandemic but the pair parted ways once again with Josie saying at the time “I’ll never go back.”

    But despite this, she insisted that she’d never introduce new boyfriends to her son after splitting up from Terry.

    Speaking about motherhood, dating and dieting with OK! magazine, she said: “It would be nice to be taken out for dinner by someone. But I couldn’t give them anything else.

    “I just want someone to give me maybe a little bit of attention – and dinner.

    “But my son is too young. I’m really quite funny about that. I don’t like people in my son’s circle.

    “It’s hard because if you meet someone, you want to bring them into your life. But I can’t show them my life because I don’t want to put Reg at risk like that.

    But it sounds like finding a new partner might be on the back burner now, as the ITV star said she “can’t be bothered” with love.

    Earlier this year, she said on Loose Women: “Aside from spending the morning with Dermot on the 14th, I have no plans. I can’t even pull a party cracker. There’s definitely not any valentine for me this year.

    “I just haven’t met anybody where I think, ‘yeah, you could really fit into my life’ and it’s also the time and effort too – you’ve got to meet, trust them, date, work each other out, the messaging, I just can’t be bothered.”

    Josie’s most famous relationship was back when she first rose to fame following her stint on Big Brother.

    After winning the Channel 4 show, she and John took their romance into the real world.

    The pair flirted intensely throughout their time in the house together and they then dated in the outside world – with their relationship even documented in her spin-off show There’s Something About Josie.

    But it wasn’t to be, as Josie and the Australian star – who has since appeared on Love Island over in his home country – parted ways after a break up in 2011.
