    Asked if she would be among the guests at the hotly-anticipated big day, she stuttered: “I, uh, I, I don’t know…”

    Cheeky host James then teased: “She’s definitely going.”

    “Yes. England is so excited. It is so great, isn’t it? They look so happy,” the fashion designer confirmed, though soon shut down claims she will be designing Meghan’s gown.

    She confessed: “Sadly, I’m not, but I’m sure she’ll look incredible.”

    Victoria and David’s attendance shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, given that they were also invited to Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton back in April 2011.

    Earlier this year, Victoria’s former bandmate Mel B appeared to confirm that all of the Spice Girls had been invited to the big day – and even teased a musical performance at the ceremony.

    Asked if she knew anybody who was attending during her appearance on US talk show The Real, she remarked: “I’m going – I don’t know if I should have said that.”

    The America’s Got Talent judge then went on to reveal that the “proper” invitations even came in a plush box.

    Meanwhile, the 43-year-old star featured on last night’s Late Late Show alongside basketball legend Shaq, following a long day of promoting their new Reebok collaboration.

    Their appearance also saw the pair joke about the retired sports star randomly found her husband David’s wallet – prompting him to give a jokingly threatening phone call.

    Earlier in the day, the pair were pictured publicising their collection at a photo call alongside Victoria’s sons, Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 14, and Cruz, 12.

    The images certainly made for a funny sight as the retired sports star, who stands at 7ft 1in, towered over 5ft 4in Victoria and her kids.

    In a stunning development, the British royal family is once again at the center of a public scandal.

    The tension between Prince Harry and the newly crowned King Charles III has escalated dramatically, with reports emerging of the monarch cautioning his estranged son against further claims on the late Queen Elizabeth II’s possessions.

    The catalyst for this latest royal rift appears to be Harry’s alleged bid to assert his rights to a share of his grandmother’s personal items, which he believes should have been rightfully passed down to him.

    Royal Family in Turmoil: King Charles III Clashes with Prince Harry Over Queen’s Estate

     

    In a stunning development, the British royal family is once again at the center of a public scandal.

    The tension between Prince Harry and the newly crowned King Charles III has escalated dramatically, with reports emerging of the monarch cautioning his estranged son against further claims on the late Queen Elizabeth II’s possessions.

    The catalyst for this latest royal rift appears to be Harry’s alleged bid to assert his rights to a share of his grandmother’s personal items, which he believes should have been rightfully passed down to him.

    However, insiders from the palace have disclosed that the king has vehemently opposed the prince’s request, adamantly asserting his stance against any challenges to the authority of the royal family.

    The roots of this conflict can be traced back to the tumultuous aftermath of Harry’s decision to relinquish his royal responsibilities and relocate to the United States with his wife, Meghan Markle.

    The once-close bond between Harry and Prince William has since deteriorated significantly, exacerbated by the younger sibling’s vocal criticisms of the monarchy and its perceived deficiencies, fueling an ongoing public dispute.

    With the recent passing of the queen and the ascension of King Charles to the throne, tensions within the royal household have escalated to a critical juncture.

    Insider sources have revealed that the king views Harry’s recent claim on his grandmother’s possessions as a blatant affront to the established customs and traditions of the monarchy.

    A senior palace official, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed the king’s deep apprehension over the potential escalation of the situation.

    The official disclosed that King Charles has explicitly warned Prince Harry of swift and resolute repercussions if he persists in challenging the authority of the royal family.

    The king has even gone as far as cautioning Harry about the possibility of facing legal consequences for his pursuit of a portion of the late queen’s estate.

    This unwavering stance is poised to further strain the already fragile relationship between the two princes, setting the stage for a contentious and public confrontation in the near future.

    Advocates of the royal family have rallied behind King Charles, emphasizing the paramount importance of upholding the integrity of the monarchy and ensuring the appropriate distribution of the queen’s personal effects.

    Renowned royal historian Penelope Fitzwilliam underscored the sacred duty of the royal family to safeguard the traditions and values that have sustained the monarchy for generations.

    While acknowledging Prince Harry’s sentiments, Fitzwilliam asserted the king’s obligation to protect and honor the queen’s legacy.

    Conversely, critics of the monarchy have seized upon this latest episode as evidence of the institution’s rigidity and reluctance to adapt to evolving societal norms.

    Political commentator Liam O’Reilly criticized the royal family’s failure to engage constructively with Prince Harry, highlighting the king’s authoritarian approach as alienating and out of touch with public sentiment.

    As the saga unfolds, the spotlight remains fixed on the royal family and their management of this delicate predicament.

    With tensions escalating and the prospect of a damaging public feud looming large, King Charles and his advisors face the arduous task of navigating the crisis to safeguard the monarchy’s reputation and ensure a seamless transition of power.

    The unfolding narrative raises questions about Prince Harry’s response to the king’s warnings and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the royal family, underscoring the gravity of the situation and the high stakes involved.

    Royal Drama Rocks Buckingham Palace as Prince Harry Clashes with Camilla and King Charles Faces Crisis

    Breaking news emerging from Buckingham Palace this week has royal watchers stunned, as significant developments threaten to fracture relationships within the House of Windsor. At the center of the controversy are Prince Harry’s ongoing tensions with his stepmother Camilla Parker Bowles and father King Charles III’s difficulties managing the unfolding situation. Multiple reliable sources have now confirmed that Prince Harry confronted Camilla during a recent visit to the UK, refusing to be in the same room with his father’s wife.

    According to reports in the esteemed British newspaper The Mirror, Harry made the nearly 11-hour journey from his California home specifically to be by his ailing father’s side after learning of King Charles’s cancer diagnosis. However, despite the visit reportedly being brief, Harry informed Camilla directly that he would not interact with or share space with his stepmother under any circumstances. A close friend of Camilla was quoted as saying the frosty feelings between her and Harry remain unchanged from their last encounter, which allegedly ended in a major clash.

    These tensions are understandable, given Harry’s lifelong animosity towards Camilla stemming from her role in the breakdown of his parents’ marriage. It is well documented how deeply Princess Diana’s bombshell 1995 BBC interview, where she confessed to feeling like “a bit of a problem” in Camilla and Charles’s marriage of three people, affected both Harry and his brother Prince William. While William appears to have made his peace with Camilla in recent years, Harry has always maintained his negative view of her.

    Royal biographer and longtime palace insider Petronella Wyatt corroborated the reports of a cold and intense encounter between Harry and Camilla during the recent visit. In a piece for The Telegraph, Wyatt revealed Harry refused to discuss Charles’s cancer diagnosis in Camilla’s presence, a clear sign that past wounds between them remain unhealed. With four independent sources now confirming Harry’s stance, it seems indisputable that a significant clash did occur.

    King Charles now finds himself in the difficult position of mediator as he aims to repair frayed family bonds during his own health battle. A source close to the situation said Charles was deeply upset by Harry’s refusal to engage with Camilla but understood his perspective, given his close relationship with Diana. The king is said to believe time and private conversations may heal wounds but recognizes forcing interactions will only make the situation worse.

    Adding pressure is Charles’s reliance on his sister Princess Anne, who has stepped up in his absence but cannot fill the role indefinitely. Queen Camilla has also taken on fewer duties due to physical exhaustion. This has left the palace short-staffed as other royals like Prince William remain preoccupied with their own families and workload. Some speculate Camilla proposed her son Tom Parker Bowles temporarily take up some responsibilities, which allegedly led to a major confrontation between Charles and his stepson, with the king expelling Tom from all palace duties.

    The succession of crises seems to have the normally stoic monarch on edge. At a recent gala honouring Sir Antonio Pappano, Charles was visibly shaken as he inquired about reports of challenges facing Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation, tearing up as he expressed a desire to help his son but recognised the current constraints. Some believe Charles may reach out to Harry directly to repair their relationship and fulfill his dream of reconnecting his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet to their royal family.

    As the Palace weathers multiple storms, the ball is now in King Charles’s court to determine the monarchy’s path forward. He must navigate demanding health issues, keep his family united through difficult times and reassure the British people of the crown’s resilience and capacity to evolve. How the aging king manages competing priorities and reconciles with estranged loved ones will shape both the near future of the House of Windsor and his legacy as Sovereign. The drama is only beginning, and all eyes remain fixed on Buckingham Palace awaiting the royal family’s next moves.

    The British royal family is facing a tumultuous period following a decisive move by King Charles III and Prince William to sever all ties with Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

    In an unprecedented joint statement, the monarch and heir to the throne branded the couple as traitors and expelled them from the royal fold indefinitely.

    The long-standing tensions between the siblings and their spouses have escalated to an irreparable level, signaling profound implications for the monarchy and those embroiled in the conflict.

    The latest crisis within the royal family was sparked by the publication of Prince Harry’s highly anticipated memoir, “Spare,” which has garnered global attention for its explosive revelations and scathing critiques of the House of Windsor.

    Released in January 2024, the tell-all book offers a candid portrayal of the inner workings of the royal household, drawing sharp reactions from palace insiders.

    Sources reveal that both the King and the Prince of Wales were incensed by the memoir’s contents, viewing them as a grave betrayal of trust.

    Accusations of racism, neglect, and emotional mistreatment within the royal family detailed in the memoir have not only tarnished the image of the monarchy but have also wounded the core values of duty and allegiance held by the reigning monarch.

    The official statement issued by Buckingham Palace leaves no room for ambiguity, as King Charles and Prince William unequivocally condemn Harry and Meghan’s actions.

    The couple is accused of orchestrating a deliberate campaign to undermine the very institution they once vowed to uphold.

    Effective immediately, Harry and Meghan are stripped of all royal privileges, including their HRH titles, access to royal residences, and financial support from the sovereign grant.

    The breach of trust perpetrated by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has led to an irreversible rift, as articulated in the palace’s announcement.

    The repercussions of their actions extend beyond the confines of the royal family, resonating throughout the Commonwealth and beyond.

    Renowned royal historian Dr. Veronica Fitzroy describes the royal family’s decision as unprecedented and historic, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

    The move to ostracize Harry and Meghan signifies a resolute stance to safeguard the integrity and standing of the monarchy, according to royal commentator Alistair Campbell.

    Despite dissenting voices criticizing the royal family’s actions as oppressive and suppressive, the firm resolve of King Charles and Prince William remains unwavering.

    In a final declaration, the royal statement emphatically closes the door on any prospect of reconciliation with Harry and Meghan.

    The estrangement of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from the royal family marks a definitive turning point, with far-reaching implications for the future dynamics of the House of Windsor.

    As the aftermath of this unprecedented rift unfolds, the world awaits with anticipation to witness the evolving saga of the once inseparable brothers and their estranged spouses, a narrative that has forever altered the course of the royal legacy.

  • Loose Women and West End star wades into theatre row and calls singing guests ‘disgraceful’

    Loose Women and West End star wades into theatre row and calls singing guests ‘disgraceful’

    Loose Women and West End star Brenda Edwards has slammed those guests who sing at live theatre shows after a performance of The Bodyguard in Manchester had to be halted when some guests were ejected

    Brenda Edwards has slammed singing guests as “disgraceful” for ruining theatre shows for others.

    The Loose Women star has had multiple stints in theatre and the West End has hit out at those who ruin the performances for both the actors and singers as well as those who record on their phones or eat snacks loudly whilst watching a show or musical.

    This Morning host Alison Hammond apologised over the weekend after she was accused of making light of a debate about what had happened in Manchester, when a performance of The Bodyguard had to halted when some guests were ejected.

    Speaking during the lunchtime show, she said: “It’s disgraceful behaviour. The thing is, with us performers, there’s so much that goes into performing eight shows a week in the first place.

    “Just a simple thing of please could you turn your mobiles off is a request that we ask because a lot of people don’t seem to understand when they put the phone up, you can see the red light and it’s very off putting.

    She added: “Somebody singing, I don’t think it’s a lot to ask to respect the performers and respect those around you.”

    In Alison’s apology, she said she was “truly sorry” to all those who she had offended.

    “After reflection and the comments I made on Wednesday’s show I want to apologise to anyone who I offended especially the incredibly talented theatre performers, who I have the upmost respect for,” she began in a statement.

    “I had no idea the level of disruption audiences were causing and tried to make light of the topic on Wednesday’s show, and for that I’m truly sorry. I am a great support of theatre and the arts and would never sing at the top of my lungs at any performance, I was wrong in what I said and I’ve given this a lot of though over the past few days and believe I was wrong.”

    Co-host Dermot also issued a statement, where he faced backlash for his own response.

    “A lot of people commenting about a reaction to a story we covered on This Morning about the ‘Bodyguard’ show and audiences singing along. Could I politely urge anyone passing judgement on the clip to watch the whole interview… as I was actually arguing AGAINST people singing too loudly in theatres,” he shared on his social media.

    Angry Twitter users accused Dermot of “sitting and laughing and giggling and belittling an entire industry”.

    Marriage Crisis: Prince Harry Calls for Divorce Following Sinitta’s Revelation of Meghan Markle’s Affair with Simon Cowel

    There’s an absolutely explosive story to break down for you all today, involving Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and music mogul Simon Cowe…

    There’s an absolutely explosive story to break down for you all today, involving Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and music mogul Simon Cowell. According to recent leaks from singer Sita, there may have been a secret affair between Meghan and Simon earlier, which could be the real reason behind Harry threatening divorce.

    Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in 2018, which shocked the world. However, some critics have always claimed Meghan seemed more interested in fame than duty, with rumors swirling that she married Harry for status. Meanwhile, Simon Cowell is one of the most famous music executives globally, thanks to shows like *The X Factor* and *America’s Got Talent*. Known for his blunt personality, he has never been shy about his playboy lifestyle.

    It’s important to note that back in the mid-2000s, before she met Harry, Meghan was actually good friends with Simon’s then-girlfriend, Sita. The three would hang out socially a lot in London whenever Meghan visited from America while filming *Suits*. Some sources even claimed Meghan had aspirations of breaking into the music industry through Simon’s connections at that time.

    Fast forward to this month, Sita did a tell-all radio interview where she apparently spilled some major tea about Meghan’s past, leaving many questioning the state of Harry and Meghan’s marriage. During the chat, Sita offhandedly mentioned how Meghan used to have a thing for Simon back in the day. Naturally, this sent the interview into a frenzy, with the host begging Sita for details. She revealed that around 2015-2016, right before Meghan met Harry, there were rumors of something romantic going on between her and the then-single Simon Cowell.

    “I kind of know for a fact that she had a bit of a thing for Simon. We were all together a lot socially, and you could tell there was some electricity between them. Meghan was always quite flirty and touchy-feely with Simon in particular whenever our group would hang out,” Sita claimed.

    Some people close to Simon even wondered why he never pursued anything with her at the time, given she was so into him. Sita admitted she never witnessed anything definite but heard through friends they might have had a brief fling or hookup when Meghan visited London without anyone knowing. Nothing was ever confirmed, but people talked. “I think it was all very casual though, but now looking back, it does make you wonder if old feelings were still there when she married Simon’s rival Harry just a year or two later.”

    Naturally, this bombshell accusation sent the internet into a meltdown. Fans were shocked at the implication Meghan may have only settled for Harry to cement her royal title after apparently pining for Simon Cowell first. Even Sita herself noted that the whole situation made her question Meghan’s intentions. Just days after Sita’s interview went viral globally, insiders close to Harry claimed he was enraged and threatening divorce, screaming that Meghan had completely disrespected him.

    Some believe it’s no coincidence and that Harry may have finally become aware of this alleged pre-marriage indiscretion, which has been tightly kept under wraps until now. Between the royal rift, their U.S. move, and constant media criticisms, had speculation over Meghan’s once-close friendship with Cowell finally put too much strain on the Sussex marriage? After so many lies, only they know the truth, but Harry going as far as threatening divorce does imply some fire where there’s this much smoke.

    According to pundits, this reveals a whole new side to Meghan we never knew about and really questions her intentions from day one. While fans rush to her defense, claiming it’s just gossip, the timing is surely not a good look when combined with other rumored cheating accusations Harry refuses to comment on. It’s hard to imagine he’d threaten the nuclear option without cause at this point in their relationship drama.

     

    Keep your eyes peeled for further developments in this Meghan Markle and Simon Cowell cheating scandal saga. Even if nothing physical happened between them, the repercussions of these past allegations dragging up old wounds at such a sensitive time could very well end up destroying one of the most famous modern royal marriages before our eyes.

  • Denise Welch calls King Charles’ wife Camilla his ‘side piece’ in savage royal family rant

    Denise Welch calls King Charles’ wife Camilla his ‘side piece’ in savage royal family rant

    Loose Women presenter Denise Welch has made her feelings about Queen Consort, Camilla Parker Bowles very clear ahead of King Charles’ Coronation on May 6

    Denise Welch has branded King Charles’ wife Camilla a “side piece” in a savage rant against the royals.

    The Loose Women presenter, 64, admitted she wasn’t ‘enthusiastic’ about the Coronation on May 6, in which both Charles, 74, and Camilla, 75, will be crowned at Westminster Abbey

    “I’m not particularly a Camilla fan,” Denise revealed on Loose Women. “The fact is I just think she was there from the beginning of his marriage to Diana and I think it’s disrespectful to Prince Harry and… and I can’t get over that she was the side piece.

    “I feel like [for] a lot of people, the monarchy isn’t the same since the Queen died.”

    The former Coronation actress added she was “trying to get some enthusiasm for the coronation and I haven’t got any.”

    Denise’s comments come amid reports Harry and Meghan risk facing “monumental cold shouldering” at the King’s Coronation, as plans for the big day have finally been revealed.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are still yet to decide whether they will attend the celebration, but they’ll have to make their mind up soon.

    Royal expert and commentator Daniela Elser has warned the couple will have to accept “a B-list part in proceedings” if they do attend.

    “Being spurned by your brother, sister-in-law and pretty much everyone aside from an inconsequential cousin or two, with every moment caught on camera for our home-viewing delectation, sounds about as enjoyable as going to one of the Duchess of York’s book readings.

    “Even if they can stomach the monumental cold shouldering, they then face having to accept a B-list part in proceedings,” she wrote in news.com.au.

    The Coronation falls on the same day as Prince Archie’s birthday and Harry is said to be concerned about how the tot’s special day will be celebrated.

    It is believed the three-year-old prince and his sister one-year-old Princess Lilibet have not even been invited to the Coronation, with sources citing that the children are “very young”.

    But royal insiders claim Netflix stars Harry and Meghan have been in conversations with the Palace about whether they’ll attend, which seem promising – but there is a “time crunch”.

    The cut-off point for RSVPs has reportedly passed, but still no decision from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has been revealed, which is said to be causing a major headache for organisers.

    However, according to The Times, the Sussexes are set to reveal their intentions “within days”.

    Speaking on the ITV lunchtime show, he said: “Fake news as Donald Trump would say! Standing down? My agent said we know nothing about it, I know nothing about it. All I can tell you is, a week on Saturday we are filming series 19 and it’s going fantastically well. Over a million, as I’m sure your show does very well too and is very popular.”

    A source previously told the Mail Online that David was leaving the show and that it was an open secret.

    “It’s an open secret on Dickinson’s Real Deal that David will be leaving the show after filming the upcoming series. He’s absolutely adored fronting the show,” the insider shared.

    “It’s been a huge success for the channel and viewers still love it 16 years after it launched.”

    An ITV spokesperson said: “The current series of Dickinson’s Real Deal is in production and filming throughout spring and summer. No decisions have been made on future series beyond that.”

    Cheryl regularly appears alongside David on the ITV lunchtime show, where she parts with her cash to buy some of the public’s best offerings of antique items they’ve found in their home.

    Of her decision to leave, she said: “I did the show for 14 years. I was one of the originals but now mine and Zara’s business is booming, unfortunately I don’t have enough time to film the next series.”

    Debbie McGee opens up about her ‘lonely’ love life after soulmate Paul Daniels’ death

    Debbie McGee opened up to the Loose Women panel on Monday about being alone after the death of husband Paul Daniels

    Debbie McGee joined Loose Women on Monday to discuss her latest TV project as she opened up on feeling lonely after the death of her husband and magician Paul Daniels.

    The Strictly Come Dancing star visited Northern Ireland for the BBC ‘s B&B by the Sea but admitted she struggled at first with the idea of going on holiday on her own.

    She told Denise Welch, Janet Street-Porter, Gloria Hunniford and host Kaye Adams : “One of the things I was a little bit concerned about is I’ve never holidayed on my own. I’ve got used to being on my own but I don’t choose it, it was thrust upon me.

    “I’m so lucky I’ve got a close family, I’ve got lovely friends that invite me on holiday with them but I’ve never chosen to go on my own so I was a bit worried, although you’re with a film crew, of waking up and it just being me.”

    “For all those years I always had my rock there, Paul, who woke me up with a joke most mornings so I wondered how I’d feel waking up in this place that was right out in the sticks really on my own.”

    The Loose Women panel quizzed Debbie on how she has learnt to live with grief after the heartbreaking loss of her husband.

    “What’s kept me going is how lucky I was to have him in my life,” she remarked.

    The panelists went on to talk about how she pushed herself out of her comfort zone to join the Strictly Come Dancing line-up in 2017.

    The widow finished as a runner-up with Ballroom and Latin dancer Giovanni Pernice.

    Reflecting on the experience, she revealed she was nervous to let people see the real her away from her late husband before praising the experience.

    “People had just seen me as Paul’s sidekick and I allowed him to be the [centre of attention],” she added.

    Meanwhile, Debbie previously admitted she hadn’t ruled out finding love again if the right person came along.

    She told the How To Be 60 with Kaye Adams: ‘If I met somebody that I had real charisma with, then I’m not going to say no and push them away. I don’t know how much longer I’m going to live and I believe in enjoying every day as much as you can. But until now I just haven’t met that person. So, if there’s somebody out there, I believe life will bring me to them at the right time, but I don’t feel there’s a void. I love my life so I’m just enjoying each day for what it brings me.”

    Meghan and Harry have firmly established their lives in California since stepping away from their royal duties. One of the perks of living in LA is having access to some of the best restaurants in the world. According to insiders, one of Meghan’s favorite dining spots has been the upscale Italian eatery, Luna, in Santa Barbara, run by celebrity chef Massimo Faretti.

    Luna is renowned for its rustic charm, authentic cuisine, and its discreet service for a wealthy and famous clientele. Meghan was reportedly a regular visitor, often dining privately with friends in a secluded room away from prying eyes. However, staff have noted that she frequently displayed diva-like behavior, making extravagant demands and treating the waitstaff as if they were her personal servants.

    Things came to a head this past weekend when Meghan and a group of twelve friends arrived unannounced for a birthday dinner. They racked up a bill of over $2,000 with high-end wines, imported cheeses, and multi-course meals, all while micromanaging and complaining about the service.

    By the end of the evening, tensions were running high. When Massimo personally delivered the eye-watering bill to Meghan’s private room, he expected the usual swift resolution with her signature and credit card. To his surprise, Meghan refused to pay, claiming the charges were inaccurate without providing any evidence or engaging in further discussion.

    Massimo, visibly frustrated, reminded her that his restaurant was not a charity and accused her of entitlement. The situation quickly deteriorated into a public shouting match, unlike anything seen before at the usually refined establishment. Meghan was overheard angrily proclaiming that Massimo didn’t know who she was and threatening to tarnish his reputation on social media if forced to pay.

    As the altercation escalated, other diners looked on in shock. Security was eventually called to handle the situation. Meghan reportedly left in tears, escorted to her awaiting SUV by bodyguards before the police arrived. Massimo was left fuming over the disrespect and humiliation he faced in his own restaurant from an entitled patron.

    As the details of the incident went viral, a spokesperson for Massimo Faretti’s Luna issued a statement confirming the altercation and noted that the bill remains unpaid. They also made it clear that Meghan is no longer welcome at any of their establishments worldwide due to the unsafe and anxiety-provoking environment she created with her behavior that night.

    While dealing with the toxic entitlement of high-profile individuals is never easy, I side with the restaurant in this case. One should not dine and dash on a $2,000 meal without expecting consequences—royal status or not. The law applies equally to everyone, and basic decency requires settling your debts gracefully instead of mistreating those who provide luxury services. This incident serves as a stark reminder that fame, wealth, or social status cannot exempt anyone from the rules and norms that govern us all, and it further damages any narrative of self-victimization that might be spun. Only time will tell how this affects Meghan’s reputation.
