  • One of Meghan Markle’s Frenemies Is Reportedly Going Above & Beyond to Help out Kate Middleton

    One of Meghan Markle’s Frenemies Is Reportedly Going Above & Beyond to Help out Kate Middleton

    LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 09: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex stand on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during Trooping The Colour 2018 on June 9, 2018 in London, England. The annual ceremony involving over 1400 guardsmen and cavalry, is believed to have first been performed during the reign of King Charles II. The parade marks the official birthday of the Sovereign, even though the Queen's actual birthday is on April 21st.

    So when it comes to Victoria Beckham, no one quite knows whose side she’s on when it comes to Wales versus Sussex. Beckham was seemingly best buddies with Meghan Markle, and even attended her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. However, after an alleged falling out, they’re borderline enemies at this point, per insiders. And now, it seems Victoria, who has been pals with Kate Middleton for a decade, it focusing on her friendship with her even more.

    It seems that Beckham is trying to help out Kate amid her preventative chemotherapy and slow return to the public eye.

    David Beckham and Victoria Beckham arrive to attend the Royal Wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011 in London, England. The marriage of the second in line to the British throne is to be led by the Archbishop of Canterbury and will be attended by 1900 guests, including foreign Royal family members and heads of state. Thousands of well-wishers from around the world have also flocked to London to witness the spectacle and pageantry of the Royal Wedding.

    “Victoria has really been concerned about Kate, and she and David have sent her lots of messages of support. But Vic wants to do something more and would like to send Kate a pamper package with some of her favourite bits from her own range, as well as other treats that she knows Kate will like,” a close source said to Heat World UK. “There are a lot of rules around sending gifts to royals, so Vic is keen to make sure it’s done as friends and not from her business. But she just wants to help keep her spirits up.”

    They added, “Although they are quite different, Victoria can relate to a lot of the pressure and scrutiny Kate is under. She’s on a mission to really cement their friendship, especially as David is getting closer to the royals. Once Kate has fully recovered, Vic would love to work with her, as well as help style her and see her use her products. It would be the ultimate seal of approval.”

    Now, this can be construed as both a sweet gesture to a longtime friend, and an alleged jab to Meghan.

    WINDSOR, UNITED KINGDOM - MAY 19: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) Victoria Beckham and David Beckham attend the wedding of Prince Harry to Ms Meghan Markle at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018 in Windsor, England. Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales marries Ms. Meghan Markle in a service at St George's Chapel inside the grounds of Windsor Castle. Among the guests were 2200 members of the public, the royal family and Ms. Markle's Mother Doria Ragland.

    For those who don’t know, according to The House of Beckham: Money, S— and Power author Tom Bower, the initial strain between Meghan and Victoria began over a request Meghan made for some free items from Beckham’s fashion line. Markle allegedly wanted “free handbags from Victoria Beckham before snubbing her,” per The Independent. Apparently, Beckham did do it all for Meghan’s appearance at the Royal Family’s traditional Christmas Day parade in Sandringham; which led to very minimal sales on Beckham’s end.

    Their friendship was alleged “purely transactional,” and earlier this summer, insiders told Closer Online that both the Beckhams have disapproved of how Meghan and Harry have acted in recent years.

    “Meghan’s been shocked by how Vic seems to have given her the cold shoulder – even reaching out herself when her team received no response when requesting a dress,” a source said. “Meghan has been told that both Victoria and David may have disapproved of how she and Harry have behaved over the last few months.”

    Now, what about Victoria and Kate? Well, back in 2013, Express revealed that the two were quickly becoming gal pals, bonding over motherhood, love, and fashion. “The four of them will cook together when William and Kate visit the new house,” a source alleged. “David loves making sushi and William’s keen to learn.”

    And now, it seems Victoria wants to take advantage of the well-known “Kate Middleton Effect,” which refers to how pieces that Kate wears sell out very quickly.

    While Victoria Beckham and David Beckham are one of the most love-up couples in Hollywood, they’re surprisingly private about their date nights. However, a friend of the couple just shared a glimpse into what date night looked like for them on July 19, and Beckham has hypnotized fans with her date night look.

    Per Hello, Alice Campello Morata shared a photo of her, her husband Álvaro Morata, and the Beckhams to her Instagram with the caption reading, “Incredible people, beautiful night @victoriabeckham @davidbeckham.”

    All eyes were on Beckham, who looked sensational in a sheer black naked dress from her own brand. Victoria rocked her own brand’s Ruffle Detail Midi Dress in Black, which retails for around $1,600. The listing even described it as a “personal favourite of Victoria’s,” and is a lacy naked dress with a silk bodice and lace all around the collar and abdomen.

    She paired the look with a slicked-back bun and a pricey, sparkling silver watch; proving she’s rocking the luxe summer look easily. And let’s face it, this seems like the perfect date night look!

    Despite being regarded as one of the most striking women in the entertainment industry, Victoria revealed she didn’t see herself as beautiful, but she embraces it.

    She previously told Harpers Bazaar, she said, “Do I think of myself as beautiful? No, absolutely not. But I make the best of what I have. I see my imperfections and flaws and I smile: it’s who I am and I’m not going to try to change that. It’s taken me a long, long time to recognise that by 45 years old, actually I’m all right.”

    In the past few years, Netflix has had huge success with its authorised documentaries about an array of huge celebrities, including British stars like David Beckham and Robbie Williams.

    And it seems another intriguing British celebrity is about to become the subject of their own doc with the streaming giant.

    On Friday morning, Katie Price paid a visit to Hits Radio, where she revealed that she was about to open up her life to a camera crew once again, for a new Netflix documentary series.

    “I’m doing a Netflix series about my life,” she revealed, claiming that filming is due to begin “at the end of the month”.

    Katie added: “I can’t wait to have my life on Netflix as a three-parter.”

    The Celebrity Big Brother winner also teased that a big-name producer was on board, claiming: “I can’t tell you who the producer, director is but when my sister told me I said ’Are you joking? What? He even knows who I am?!”

    HuffPost UK has contacted Netflix for comment.

    Over the course of her almost 30 years in the spotlight, Katie has always been an open book, speaking candidly about her life in her autobiographies (the seventh of which is about to be released), as well as her numerous reality shows.

    Katie began her career in glamour modelling in the late 1990s, and went on to compete in reality shows like I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! and Celebrity Big Brother, as well as being the centre of many of her own fly-on-the-wall series.

    She has also been a tabloid staple thanks to her relationships, including marriages to Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler, as well as romances with footballer Dwight York, singer Dane Bowers and reality stars Kris Boyson, Carl Woods and JJ Slater.

    Victoria Beckham has hilariously mocked her husband David Beckham for using a filter on their vacation photo.

    The 50-year-old fashion designer poked fun at her husband’s photo editing skills in the comments of his Instagram post, which was shared on July 23. In his selfie, David smiled for the camera with his wife, who had her arm wrapped around his shoulder. The couple was sitting at a dinner table in the middle of a field at a winery in France.

    However, according to Victoria, David made a few edits to the photo that made her look different. “What? Why is my hair ginger??? What filter is that David?” she hilariously wrote in the comments.

    In response to her remark, many fans agreed that the former Spice Girl’s hair looked orange, and joined in on mocking David for editing the picture.

    “Ginger Spice,” one quipped, along with a laughing, crying face emoji.

    “@victoriabeckham the world needs to know @davidbeckham !!! What filter is this?!” another wrote, while a third joked: “This made me giggle. Men don’t have a clue with the photos.”

    In the caption of his post, the former football star opened up about his and his wife’s trip to France. “We have eaten in many beautiful places but WOW Domaine De Peretti Della Rocca,” he wrote, referring to the estate located in Figari.

    This isn’t the first time the longtime couple have made joking quips about each other. During an episode of their Netflix series Beckham, which came out in 2023, David mocked his wife for claiming she had a “working-class upbringing.”

    Speaking to the interviewer about her family and childhood, Victoria said: “We’re very, very working class.” David then jumped in, popping his head around a nearby doorframe, and added: “Be honest.” When Victoria expressed that she was being honest, the former midfielder asked. “What car did your dad drive you to school in?”

    After David repeated the question multiple times, the “Out of Your Mind” singer replied: “OK, in the Eighties, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.”

    During their Super Bowl ad, which aired in January, the couple recreated the viral moment, with Victoria explaining: “So David and I are gonna be in a little commercial.” David then popped his head out of the door and told his wife, “Be honest, be honest!,” before she expressed that it was a “big commercial.” The designer was also hilariously wearing a shirt that read: “My dad has a Rolls-Royce.”

    Earlier this week, Victoria took to Instagram to share more snaps of her family’s vacation to France, which included her and David’s three children: Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13. The couple’s oldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, 25, and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, were not on the trip.

    “Happy summer!! Kisses @davidbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven x Miss you @brooklynpeltzbeckham @nicolaannepeltzbeckham xx,” Victoria wrote in the caption of the post, which included snaps of the family on a boat.

    Victoria Beckham Questions Why Husband David Has Made Her Hair ‘Ginger’

    Did Victoria Beckham Just Dye Her Hair Ginger? Instagram

    Saturation up, brightness down and orange tones maximised! That’s what we imagine the process of David Beckham’s photo editing sesh to look like, courtesy of his recent Instagram post. And it seems that his wife, Victoria Beckham, agrees…

    With what appears to be a standard picture post, the ex-professional football player took to social media to share an adorable couple photo from a recent dinner in Corsica, France. ‘We have eaten in many beautiful places but WOW Domaine De Peretti Della Rocca 🍷 @victoriabeckham ❤️,’ David innocently captions the post.

    And yes, while the setting of said dinner looks unrivalled, fans and his wife, noticed something a little, well, off with the image. Do you see it?

    Taking to the comments section, VB hilariously writes: ‘What? Why is my hair ginger??? What filter is that David?🥴😂🥴.’

    Ahh, the classic case of ‘sepia-itis’. Our David has fallen victim to IG filter blindness and in turn, has accidentally turned his wife’s brunette hair ginger, as she puts it herself.

    At the time of writing, her comment has received over 30,000 likes and almost 700 replies, with fans finding the couples’ domestic (read: British banter) just as funny as we are. One person commented: ‘Ginger Spice 😂,’ while others followed up with a string of laughing face emojis, ‘😂😂😂😂😂❤️.’

    However, we must say that we think this red-toned hair colour quite suits the fashion-meets-beauty mogul! Could this be a new look for Victoria?

    Someone, anyone, please give this family a reality show contract. One documentary and the odd hilarious social media interaction is simply not enough!

    Brooklyn Beckham looks wobbly on his feet as he runs out of party after celebrating book success at big celeb bash

    BROOKLYN Beckham looked a little unsteady on his feet as he left the star-studded Serpentine Gallery Summer Party last night.

    The teen wore a brown suede jacket and dark jeans to the prestigious party which was attended by the likes of Guy Ritchie, Rita Ora and Dame Shirley Bassey.

    He nearly tumbled backwards as he navigated the crowd on his way out of the event, tilting as he stepped down a curb.

    Accompanied by a suave minder, Brooklyn raised his hand to his head as he walked through the night.

    Earlier in the night Brooklyn smiled as he pulled on his jacket, before posing for pictures including one with Yana Peel.

    There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Brooklyn’s debut book What I See, but as images leaked online, many Twitter users were less than impressed.

    One snap captures a dinner party completely out of focus – you can’t see who’s there or what’s happening. Ironically, he says “you can tell there’s lots going on.”

    One follower posted: “Oh my God I’ve just found a copy. I have a B in GCSE photography and am f***ing Cartier-Bresson by comparison.”

    While another simply added: “I’m dying.”

    Professionals were equally as scathing, with The Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards saying: “None of these pictures is sharp and many are badly lit.

    “It’s a bit early to start releasing books when you have not mastered the basic skills.”

    Brooklyn, who celebrated the launch at London auction house Christie’s, says he was given his first camera by dad David when he was finding school “frustrating”. And he reveals that taking pictures soon became his “obsession”.

    Unseen Footage! Dr.Ngozi Okonjo Reveals Meghan’s Emotional Moment As She Receives No Applause During

    Meghan Markle’s Nigeria Event Marred by Cultural Missteps and Lack of Substance

    Meghan Markle’s decision to co-host a women in leadership event in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, alongside Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, marked a significant departure from her previous engagements with Prince Harry. However, her arrival at the event was marred by a series of missteps that highlighted her lack of awareness and disregard for cultural sensitivities.

    Arrival and Punctuality Issues

    Upon her arrival, Meghan missed the mark by arriving almost an hour late to the event. This display of tardiness not only showed a lack of respect for the organizers and attendees but also demonstrated a disregard for the value of punctuality in professional settings.

    Controversial Attire Choice

    Furthermore, her choice of attire further fueled controversy. Opting for a dress with spaghetti straps and revealing too much flesh, Meghan clearly disregarded the appropriate dress codes expected in a conservative Muslim nation like Nigeria. This lack of empathy and apparent narcissistic behavior left many questioning her understanding of cultural norms and expectations.

    Lukewarm Reception

    As Meghan took the stage, the applause was notably scarce, with only a few faint claps heard. In sharp contrast, the other speaker received an enthusiastic response from the audience. It sounded like one person, likely a hired supporter, clapping loudly and excessively, attempting to compensate for the lack of genuine enthusiasm from the rest of the attendees. This paid reception undoubtedly disappointed Meghan, fueling her narcissistic tendencies and highlighting the gap between her self-perception and the reality of her reception.

    Underwhelming Performance

    Meghan’s lackluster entrance was only the beginning of her underwhelming performance at the event. Despite being touted as a woman in leadership, she failed to offer anything of substance or showcase her expertise in any field. Instead, she rambled about her experiences as a mother, sharing anecdotes about her children, Archie and Lilibet. Her attempts to portray herself as a leader fell flat as she lacked substantial achievements or experiences in leadership roles.

    Disconnect from Working Mothers

    Megan’s comments about balancing motherhood and her career seemed disingenuous given her privileged lifestyle and reliance on staff and nannies to assist with childcare responsibilities. Her constant shifting of priorities and self-centered behavior only served to highlight her disconnect from the realities faced by working mothers who do not have the same level of support and resources.

    Lack of Substance in Panel Discussion

    During the panel discussion, Meghan’s contributions were lacking in substance and relevance. Instead of offering insightful economic insights or engaging in a meaningful discussion on women in leadership, she seemed more interested in showcasing her personal experiences and emphasizing her role as a mother. Her attempts to position herself as a leader felt hollow and unconvincing as she lacked any tangible achievements or evidence of her leadership abilities.

    Misguided Remarks and Forced Connections

    In a moment that further highlighted her disconnect, Meghan thanked Nigerians for welcoming her “to my country,” a statement that seemed out of touch and failed to resonate with the audience. Her attempt to align herself with the local culture by mentioning fashion and expressing a desire to fit in felt forced and insincere. It became apparent that her priorities were more focused on self-image and public perception rather than fostering genuine connections and understanding with the people she was addressing.

    Superficial Exploration of Heritage

    When asked about her discovery of being 43% Nigerian through a genealogy test, Meghan’s response was to immediately call her mother for confirmation. While she described the experience as eye-opening and humbling, indicating an interest in exploring her heritage, it also seemed to be a fleeting moment of connection without any deeper exploration or understanding of what it truly means to be part of a culture and heritage.

    Conclusion: A Missed Opportunity

    In conclusion, Meghan’s presence at the event did little to inspire confidence or admiration. She failed to offer anything of substance and instead resorted to self-aggrandizement and empty rhetoric. It became clear that her inflated sense of self-importance far exceeded her actual contributions or abilities. Her disconnect from reality, lack of cultural sensitivity, and superficial approach to the event left many disappointed and questioning her suitability as a representative of women in leadership.

  • 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 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 McGiffin
    Carol has recently slammed Loose Women for being too ‘woke’
    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.

    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.

    ITV)Phil and Holly’s ‘feud’ went up a gear when he released a statement, which said: “The last few weeks haven’t been easy for either of us. As I have said before, Holly is my rock. 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.
