    GAME OVER Meghan trembles with fear as Trevor Engelson writes TELL ALL BOOK about her: ‘The Queen has been lying since birth.’

    Meghan trembles with fear as Trevor Engelson writes TELL ALL BOOK

    Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly feeling anxious as news emerges that her ex-husband, Trevor Engelson, is set to release a tell-all book about their former relationship.

    Royal expert Neil Shawn revealed in a recent YouTube post by P. Dina that Engelson’s upcoming book will provide an intriguing perspective on their past together.

    According to Shawn, many individuals who have had personal experiences with Markle are eager to share their stories in new publications.

    Why Did Meghan Markle And Trevor Engelson Split? Insider Details

    However, he emphasized that Engelson’s firsthand account holds particular significance.

    The prospect of Engelson’s revelations seems to be causing distress for Markle, as she may fear the potential backlash from his side of the story.

    While some may argue that Engelson has an axe to grind, it is undeniable that he possesses unique insights into their relationship.

    This makes his narrative all the more captivating, as he can offer an authentic portrayal of what it was like to be married to the actress from Suits.

    Shawn further explained that Engelson’s story is especially remarkable because he has never before spoken publicly about his time with Markle.

    While we have heard Markle’s version of events, there are always two sides to every story.

    Engelson’s perspective could shed new light on the rumors and controversies surrounding their past, such as Markle allegedly returning the engagement ring and requesting the return of household items.

    In addition to the news about Engelson’s book, Shawn also shared that Prince Harry and Megan Markle are considering a return to social media after parting ways with their PR firm.

    According to Shawn’s YouTube episode, the couple may be planning to reengage with social media platforms as a means to improve their public image.

    It appears that they already have multiple social media accounts under different names, including their prominent Instagram account, Sussex Royal, which boasts approximately 9.6 million followers.

    Shawn mentioned that Markle sees social media as an opportunity to freely express herself and control her own narrative.

    However, he cautioned that returning to the online realm may also invite negative feedback and criticism.

    Despite the potential drawbacks, Markle and Prince Harry seem determined to reconnect with their audience through social media.

    Meanwhile, the couple has experienced another change within their team, as yet another PR executive has departed.

    Christine Well-Shermer was recently appointed as the new PR chief but has now left Team Sussex.

    The departure comes at a time when Harry and Megan are actively involved in charitable endeavors.

    Their Archwell Foundation, in collaboration with the Ving Project, has initiated a charity project aimed at supporting women in need across the United States.

    The initiative involves granting $1,000 to deserving women who have been nominated by teenagers aged between 14 and 18 for their inspirational impact on others.

    Markle expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing her dedication to empowering women and promoting the spirit of giving.

    The $1 million fund provided by the Archwell Foundation is intended not only to provide much-needed support but also to encourage young adults to embrace the joy of giving from an early age.

    Markle expressed pride in the collaboration and the positive outcomes they hope to achieve through this philanthropic endeavor.

    As Markle faces the possibility of Engelson’s book unveiling their past relationship, she and Prince Harry are also navigating their way back into the social media sphere.

    Their determination to reclaim control over their narrative is evident, even as they experience changes within their PR team.

    Simultaneously, they remain committed to making a difference through their charitable efforts, aiming to uplift and empower women across the United States.

  • Brooklyn Beckham plans to be ‘young dad’ as he lifts lid on future wife Nicola Peltz

    Brooklyn Beckham plans to be ‘young dad’ as he lifts lid on future wife Nicola Peltz

    Brooklyn Beckham has revealed his plans for fatherhood and what he wants to achieve with his children.

    The 25-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham has said that he want to be a “young dad” and take his offspring around the globe with him, as he travels the world. The amateur photographer and YouTube chef has opened up about being a dad to People and said: “I’ve always wanted to be a young dad, and I always want to be able to take my kids wherever I go.”

    Brooklyn is no stranger to travelling the world as his parents have made their lives on both sides of the Atlantic and this is something that he wants for his children too, when he and wife Nicola Peltz, 29, decide to start a family. Brooklyn said: “So it’s definitely something I want to pass down to my kids.”

    When speaking to InStyle, Brooklyn said that he is hoping that children will be happening sooner rather than later. He revealed: “But, obviously, [it’s] up to my wife. My wife really wants kids as well. So soon, hopefully.”

    Brooklyn also revealed that their children would have combined surnames when they arrive, explaining: “I wanted to honor my wife’s last name as well, and we thought about it for so long and we were just like, ‘When we have kids, we would love to have little Peltz-Beckhams running about,’ I just thought it was a cute idea to have both, two last names.”

    Brooklyn and Nicola were married in 2002, in a ceremony at her family’s estate in Palm Springs, Florida, and she told People earlier this year: “I can’t believe we’ve been married two years. He really is my best friend. And I know that sounds silly, but that’s how I feel.”

    Nicola added: “Everyone is always like, ‘Oh, what does being married feel like?’ This is genuinely how I feel. I feel like when you’re on a sleepover or a play date, and it’s like, ‘Oh, can they sleep over again?’ And you just are on a never-ending sleepover play date. That’s how we feel.”

  • Did shocking footage truly show Lilibet’s biological mother reclaiming her daughter, causing Meghan Markle to panic?

    Did shocking footage truly show Lilibet’s biological mother reclaiming her daughter, causing Meghan Markle to panic?

    In this day and age anything to do with Meghan can not be trusted.I saw today the below picture.And a few words that followed.

    However until that woman, who ever she is comes forward to tell the true story that could be checked out, in all fairness I will continue to believe it is fake. I hasten to add though, what you see above is much what I am expecting to see in the future. And I wouldn’t be too surprised if the above proved to be true after all. .

    The logic of all this is quite simple Archie was introduced to the queen and the royal family so he exists. Lilibet I suggest is real too. All that’s really needs to be determined is , how. Something simple I guess, loads of money and a willing other partner. How hard is that.

    No way. Too much has happened now for Meghan and Harry to reunite with I presume you mean the Royal family after Lili’s birth. Here is my reasoning.

    The request for Lili’s Christening in the Queen’s private chapel at Windsor was turned down. The Sussexes did not return to UK for the tribute to the late Princess Diana following the unveiling of the statue. It is said that Prince William said No about both. Even if Harry had wanted to come for the tribute he would have had to come alone. His wife is a person non grata and allegedly referred to as “ that bloody woman “. A Christmas with the RF is also off the cards for them.

    Now what about them calling their daughter Lilibet ? This is a very private nickname the Queen called herself as when she was a toddler she could not pronounce Elizabeth. Thus Lilibet was created and used within her family by her father and the late DOE. The Sussexes say the Queen was consulted. The Queen says she was not. We are back to “recollections may vary “ but I know who I believe.

    No. A reunion of the families is not going to happen. Even if Harry divorced Meghan and returned to UK with the children (which of course Meghan would never allow )the reunion would be a tense one for the damage Harry has done along with his wife. The Oprah interview whilst the late DOE was on his death bed. The untolerable stress their lies placed on The Queen particularly when she should have been allowed to grieve for her husband. The Sussexes trashed Prince Charles and the RF. Harry abandoned his family, his duties ,his honorary positions in the Army ( therefore deserting his men) and his country. He gave them no thought. It was all about the Sussexes and money. PC was used for a year as an ATM. When that dried up Harry whined to Oprah about how his father had left him without money or protection. Harry quit his job yet still expected to be on the payroll. They chose to live in the USA where the responsibility for paying for their security rests upon themselves. They each have millions of dollars and chose to live in an overly extravagant mansion which is way too big for them.

    Luke Shaw showed a touch of class in the immediate aftermath of England’s penalty shootout win over Switzerland.

    As his Three Lions team-mates rushed to celebrate Trent Alexander-Arnold’s winning penalty in Dusseldorf, the Manchester United man headed in the opposite direction – to shake hands with heartbroken Swiss opponents.

    Shaw, who came on as a second-half substitute, didn’t take a spot-kick but watched as Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney and Alexander-Arnold all scored from 12 yards. England claimed a 5-3 win on spot-kicks, thanks to Jordan Pickford’s denial of Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji – aided by the England stopper’s water bottle.

    As Swiss skipper Granit Xhaka and his team-mates, emotionally drained after a tense quarter-final, broke down in tears, Shaw shook hands with a number of his counterparts. He would go around the entire group, before getting involved in England’s celebrations in front of the travelling fans.

    It had been the Manchester United left-back’s first appearance of the tournament, appearing as a 78th minute substitute with England trailing to Breel Embolo’s goal. Within minutes, Saka had scored the equaliser.

    Ultimately, it came down to spot-kicks, with Alexander-Arnold holding his nerve, blasting past Yann Sommer and handing England a semi-final showdown with Netherlands. And Alexander-Arnold was full of praise for the nerve shown by Gareth Southgate’s side.

    “It is what we have practiced,” he declared. “When the gaffer said I was taking one, I enjoyed it and I’d practiced it – I knew I had to just execute it. All five penalties from us were great.”

    Use the slider below to tell us how confident you’re feeling in Gareth Southgate and England. We’ll then use that score to see how the nation is feeling about our chances of Euro 2024 glory.

    On England’s triumph, he added: “Incredible, these are the goals that we set for ourselves. Difficult opponent going behind and the team showed a lot of character, belief, heart and spirit out there.

    “We knew it was going to be tight. Whatever it takes and no matter what we win – that is all that matters to us.”

  • Prince William’s ‘ruthless’ acts against Prince Andrew as he’s ‘toxic’ to the royal brand

    Prince William’s ‘ruthless’ acts against Prince Andrew as he’s ‘toxic’ to the royal brand

    Prince William’s ‘ruthless’ acts against Prince Andrew as he’s ‘toxic’ to the royal brand

    Prince William has made it clear that his uncle Prince Andrew is not welcome at any official Royal events but it has now been claimed that the heir to the throne also has a ‘grudge’ against him

    Throughout Prince Andrew’s downfall, it has been widely reported that both King Charles and Prince William have intervened to prevent certain appearances, such as at the Order of the Garter ceremony.

    However, reports suggest that any tension between the future king and his uncle stems from a longstanding ‘grudge’ dating back to the early days of William’s relationship with the Princess of Wales.

    Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK!: “I think William was quick to grasp that Andrew is toxic to the royal brand. And, in a pretty ruthless and business like way, I think William has pushed for Andrew to be excluded and to stay excluded from the official royal circle.”

    Referring to reports in the Express that Prince Andrew and Prince William have always had a distant relationship, Jennie added: “I have no idea whether this dates back to some kind of grudge about the way Andrew treated Catherine in the early days. I certainly never heard anything to that effect.”, reports OK!.

    “I do know that Diana liked Andrew very much and she found him good fun and very welcoming. So I don’t know why he would have been any different with Catherine. But then, families are complicated! “.

    Jennie Bond’s comments come after Richard Kay’s column in the Daily Mail said: “William has long held a grudge against Andrew for being unwelcoming when he first introduced the then Kate Middleton to the Royal Family and feels that his father has been too soft on him.”

    Andrew is still listed as a Counsellor of State, which means he could stand in for the King during times of absence or incapacity, wielding the powers of the sovereign in urgent situations.

    The official Royal Family website details the role: “By law, Counsellors of State include the Sovereign’s spouse and the next four people in the line of succession who are over the age of 21.”

    It further clarifies their duties: “Counsellors of State are authorised to carry out most of the official duties of the Sovereign, for example, attending Privy Council meetings, signing routine documents and receiving the credentials of new ambassadors to the United Kingdom.”

    In a historic move, shortly after ascending the throne, King Charles wrote to the House of Lords requesting that Princess Anne and Prince Edward be added to the Counsellors of State. This decision was seen as a considerate nod towards both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, allowing them to maintain their roles without being completely stripped of responsibilities.

    Consequently, the royals who can step in for The King include: The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Sussex, The Duke of York, The Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Beatrice and The Princess Royal.

  • Meghan Markle given £6,000 gift from Victoria Beckham but it had surprising reaction

    Meghan Markle given £6,000 gift from Victoria Beckham but it had surprising reaction

    Victoria Beckham once gifted Meghan Markle £6,000 worth of clothes from her brand, but the move failed to have any benefit for the fashion designer.

    Victoria and David Beckham were friends with Meghan and Prince Harry, with the former Spice Girls star giving the Duchess of Sussex outfits to wear for her Christmas Day appearance with the Royal Family. She also gave Meghan a custom-designed outfit when she was pregnant.

    However, royal author Tom Bower has said the gifts didn’t make great publicity for Victoria’s fashion brand. In his new book House of Beckham, Bower wrote: “Victoria agreed to provide a coat, dress, boots and a handbag worth £6,000 to Meghan for the Royal Family’s traditional Christmas Day parade in Sandringham.

    “Later, Meghan wore a Beckham custom-made pregnancy outfit and a white coat and dress for a service in Westminster Abbey.” He continued: “The financial benefit was nil. The only success in 2019 was a £1,400 handbag that had been displayed by Meghan.”

    Meghan and Harry’s relationship with the Beckhams worsened over the years, with Bower claiming Meghan became “irritated” when she found out Victoria is richer than she is. His new book claimed she was annoyed when she found out the Beckhams had “considerably more wealth” than herself.

    Cracks started to show in the relationship between the famous families in 2018, according to Bower. While David and Victoria received an invite to Meghan and Harry’s wedding that year, they were not invited to the wedding dinner.

    Bower claims things then went from bad to worse when Meghan and Harry were left odd the guest list for Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s wedding. However, Prince William and Princess Kate made the invite list.

    In House of Beckham, Bower said Meghan had ranked herself above the Beckhams in the social pecking order. He said: “In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame. As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal Family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.”

    The Police Federation have spoken out and released a statement about the new comedy as they labelled it “disgusting

    New ITV comedy Piglets branded 'disgusting' by furious police officers as show pokes fun at cops

    Police officers have branded an upcoming ITV comedy which pokes fun at them as “disgusting” and “dangerous”.

    Piglets is set in a fictional police training college and follows newly recruited officers. It will star Bancroft actress Sarah Parish and Brass Eye’s Mark Heap.

    The Police Federation has spoken out in anger, calling the show, which airs later this month, as “insulting” and “inflammatory”. They fear it could lead to an increase in abuse of police officers and trainees.

    Tiffany Lynch, Acting National Chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: “The new ITV show titled ‘Piglets’ is highly offensive to police officers risking their lives to protect the public every day providing an emergency service.

    “It is a disgusting choice of language to use for the title of a TV programme. I find it incredulous that this has passed through checks and balances at an organisation made up of people who at any time have or may need the support and assistance of the police.

    “Our colleagues are working hard and keeping people safe under relentless negative pressure at the moment, insulting our new in service officers is unhelpful. The name of this show is also inflammatory against a landscape of rising threats and violence against officers. We should not be put at further risk for viewing numbers, our officers deserve respect not humiliation for the job they are undertaking.

    “It is actually incredibly dangerous to incite more negativity and misinformation against a public sector service that’s already under so much pressure.”

    The term pig is a slang word for police officers, one that is considered derogatory and disrespectful. The Police Federation say it will be complaining to regulatory authority Ofcom about the show – and to ITV too.

    Mukund Krishna, CEO of the Police Federation of England and Wales, confirmed: “The programme’s title is an insult to our brave and hard-working members. At a time when the service is fighting to attract and retain officers, ITV’s actions are totally undermining.

    “The Federation will be writing to Ofcom and ITV to register its disgust and demanding a change.” Piglets, a new six part comedy, comes from the team behind Smack The Pony and Green Wing.

    It follows a newly recruited group of six very different would-be cops and the handful of key staff whose thankless task it is to knock them into some kind of shape.

    Heading up the cast are Sarah Parish and Mark Heap as no-nonsense Superintendent Julie Spry and some-nonsense Superintendent Bob Weekes, whose job it is to oversee the training of the next batch of new recruits.

    A show spokesman said “Piglets is a fictional new comedy about a police training academy and the title is not intended to cause any offence, it’s a comedic and endearing play on words to emphasise the innocence and youth of our young trainees.”

    The series starts Saturday 20th July on ITV1 (full series drop on ITVX at the same time).

  • England can’t ignore major problem after it reared ugly head again vs Switzerland

    England can’t ignore major problem after it reared ugly head again vs Switzerland

    England can’t ignore major problem after it reared ugly head again vs Switzerland

    England have reached the semi-finals of a major tournament for the third time out of four attempts, but Gareth Southgate’s side have a major issue that they simply cannot ignore

    As moments in poor football matches go, they probably don’t come much more significant than Harry Kane colliding with Gareth Southgate as the captain stumbled into the technical area.

    Inadvertently, it seemed Southgate had done what every England fan inside this stadium and watching their TV screens had been screaming for him to do for some considerable time. Probably since the end of another dismal first half. Put Kane out of our misery.

    Kane was probably going to be taken off even before the tangle with Southgate in the 19th minute of extra-time but whatever the reason for his withdrawal, it was not a moment too early. England have scraped into the semi-finals of Euro 2024 thanks to the brilliance of Bukayo Saka and the bottle of their penalty-takers.

    What can you say about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s execution of the final spot-kick? As emphatic and as confident as you are likely to see.

    Everyone should enjoy the moment. Southgate has taken his squad through to another semi-final of a major tournament – that’s three in his four-tournament reign.

    And yes, it’s knockout football. It’s only the result that matters.

    But let’s not pretend Southgate does not have big problems. And one of them is their leader, their talisman.

    You could never accuse Kane of not giving his maximum – it just seems his maximum has, for one reason or other, been extremely limited.

    Ahead of this tournament, Kane told the England squad not to expect Premier League-style carpets as surfaces for Euro 2024. Having trodden the fields of Germany during his fresher year in the Bundesliga, Kane was familiar with the slightly sub-standard pitches that have scarred this tournament. So, Kane’s team-mates were prepared for the odd uneven bounce, for the odd divot – what they were probably not prepared for was the sight of their skipper making the grass look like treacle.

    The player himself and Southgate grew sick and tired of telling us that the captain is 100 percent fit but if this tournament has seen a fully mobile, up-to-speed Kane, then his club will be worried.

    Kane has scored twice at Euro 2024 but everything he has done has been laboured. The lack of alternatives to Kane – or the perceived lack of alternatives – is an issue that will take top-spot in the in-tray of Southgate’s successor. England cannot go forward with such a strong reliance on a striker who does not offer the option of running in behind a defence.


    Southgate claimed victory in another knockout match
    England produced five brilliant spot-kick in the shootout but, in general play, their immobility in the final third, their lack of imagination, their lack of zip, was startling at times. Against a side as limited as Switzerland, the inability of Southgate’s men to create even half-chances was utterly baffling.

    Equally baffling was the ineptitude at set-pieces. What on earth have they been working on when taking to the beautiful pitches at their training facility in rural Blankenhain in the east of Germany? Clearly not dead-ball situations in the attacking third.

    There was one comical passage of first half play when an England cover ended back at the feet of Jordan Pickford without a Swiss player intervening.

    Throughout the tournament, the players have been saying it’s on them, the drudgery is on them. In public, of course, they would not say anything else. But on the field, certainly for long periods of this game, they did not appear to know exactly what they were supposed to be doing.

    Now, though, it hardly matters. There is another last-four challenge to face and, at this stage of a tournament, it can come down to fitness, to fortune, to refereeing quirks.

    And you never know, Kane is such a dedicated servant, such a patriot, he might dig deep and produce a match-winning moment.

    You would not put it past him.

    But for now, he looks like a man who needs a rest … and at least he can put his feet up knowing his men have again found a way to win.

    Somehow, the dream is still alive.

    Ahead of the lavish nuptials in the £3million ceremony, Victoria, 47, gave an insight into her family in high spirits.

    Victoria gushed in her caption: “An exciting weekend ahead of us!! Kisses from Miami ☀️💒 💕

    “We love you @brooklynbeckham and @nicolaannepeltz!! Kisses @davidbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven 💕💕💕”

    As they get set for their sibling’s happy day, The Sun can reveal the couple are to have a double wedding, with two ceremonies marking the separate faiths of Nicola’s parents. One will be Catholic, a nod to mum Claudia, and the other Jewish, for her dad Nelson.

    Aspiring chef Brooklyn — who has said he will wear a skullcap, or yarmulke — is also going to take Nicola’s surname as his middle name.

    He was seen arriving last night — along with his parents and his little sister Harper.

    The festivities began with a rehearsal dinner, set to be attended by many of the celeb guests. As is traditional, Brooklyn and actress Nicola will part ways afterwards and not see each other until today, when no expense has been spared.

    The 300 guests will be treated to limitless £200 bottles of Bollinger champagne and cordon bleu grub, with £50,000 spent on rare orchids to decorate the tables.

    And the famously canny Beckhams will not pay a penny as mega-loaded financier Nelson, 79, has insisted on covering the whole event.

    His £1.3billion fortune dwarfs the Beckhams’ £380million wad.

    Victoria’s ex-Spice Girl bandmate Mel B has confirmed she is going while Emma Bunton and Mel C have also been invited to the celebrity wedding of the year.

    Rumours were also swirling last night that pop superstar Bruno Mars has been lined up as a secret special act while rapper Snoop Dogg is also said to be performing.

    Latino star Marc Anthony will sing while DJ Fat Tony is set to hit the decks. Other guests include actress Eva Longoria, while Prince Harry and Meghan have also been rumoured to be flying in from their LA home.
