Prince Harry Vows to Sue Anyone Spreading Meghan Markle’s ‘Yacht Past’ Rumors

In a decisive move to combat persistent and damaging rumors, Prince Harry has vowed to take legal action against anyone who continues to propagate unfounded allegations about Meghan Markle’s past. The allegations in question revolve around purported links between Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew, with rumors suggesting that Meghan was involved with Andrew before her relationship with Harry. These rumors have stirred significant media attention and public speculation, leading to Prince Harry’s firm response.

 

 

 

The rumors began circulating following the release of a controversial book and subsequent media reports that speculated on Meghan Markle’s past associations. These allegations suggest that Meghan was linked romantically to Prince Andrew during her earlier years, a claim that has been firmly denied by Meghan and her representatives. The rumors gained traction due to their sensational nature and the high-profile status of those involved, fueling public interest and media scrutiny.

 

 

In response to these allegations, Prince Harry has declared his intention to sue any individuals or media outlets continuing to spread these rumors. His legal team has been actively preparing to take action against those responsible for perpetuating these claims, arguing that the rumors are not only false but are also damaging to Meghan’s reputation and the couple’s family life.

Prince Harry has emphasized that there is no truth to the claims that Meghan Markle was ever involved with Prince Andrew. He has stated unequivocally that these rumors are baseless and serve only to undermine Meghan’s character. The Duke of Sussex has expressed his frustration with the ongoing media attention and is determined to address the issue legally to protect his family from further harm.

 

 

The announcement of Prince Harry’s legal plans has elicited a range of reactions from the public and media. Supporters of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have praised Harry for his proactive stance against what they perceive as a smear campaign. They argue that the relentless circulation of such rumors constitutes harassment and that Harry’s legal action is a necessary step in defending Meghan’s honor.

On the other hand, critics of the couple have raised questions about the legal implications and the effectiveness of such actions. Some argue that suing media outlets and individuals might draw even more attention to the allegations, potentially leading to further public scrutiny. Nonetheless, Prince Harry’s decision to take legal action underscores his commitment to defending Meghan against what he views as harmful and false accusations.

 

 

 

This situation is part of a larger pattern of challenges faced by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry since their departure from royal duties. The couple has been vocal about their struggles with media intrusion and misinformation, often citing the impact these issues have on their mental health and well-being. Their decision to pursue legal action reflects their broader efforts to control their narrative and combat what they see as unfair treatment.

The legal battle over the ‘yacht past’ rumors is likely to be a high-profile case, with significant media interest and public debate. As the situation develops, it will be crucial to monitor the legal proceedings and the ongoing impact on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s public image.

Prince Harry’s vow to sue those spreading Meghan Markle’s ‘yacht past’ rumors represents a decisive legal and personal strategy to address and combat damaging misinformation. By taking a stand against the false claims, Harry aims to protect Meghan’s reputation and address the broader issues of media intrusion and harassment that have plagued their lives. As the legal actions unfold, the resolution of this case may have significant implications for both the couple’s future and the media landscape surrounding them.

Meghan ‘froze’ when she heard criticism from Whoopi Goldberg

In October 2022, she blasted Meghan Markle for ‘making other women feel bad’ after the royal claimed her time as a ‘briefcase girl’ on Deal or No Deal made her feel like a bimbo.

Famously liberal Goldberg said: ‘My point is, if you see it and that’s how you feel, just maybe you don’t want to make the other women feel bad because maybe they’re not — you know, maybe they’re trying to make a living too.’

She continued: ‘The objectification might be coming from you and how you felt about how these women were being portrayed,’ she said.

In 2023, Goldberg questioned Markle and Prince Harry’s account of being involved in a ‘near catastrophic car chase’ thanks to the paparazzi while on a visit to New York City.

‘If it was possible to have car chases in New York, we’d all make it to the theatre on time,’ Goldberg joked.

‘I think their spokesperson referenced something you generally would reference in Los Angeles. That’s where you have chases, that’s where you can move at high speeds,’ she added.

Goldberg has described her relationship with Prince Harry as ‘close’ while also in 2022 calling for the Royal Family to apologize for their colonial past.

Sophie hit out at the bombshell TV special in her own very understated way – whilst still managing to navigate royal protocol.

 

The Royal Family motto is never complain, never explain.

So it’s little wonder that frontline royals made little comment on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in 2021.

But the American TV special was littered with allegations which took aim at the Firm, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claiming they’d not been supported as they struggled with their mental health.

 

Harry also claimed his brother Prince William and King Charles were “trapped” inside the monarchy – and seemed to criticise his father’s parenting in subsequent interviews.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and Prince Edward’s wife, made her own subtle dig at the Sussexes’ appearance on the TV show in a very understated way.

Sophie and Edward joked by claiming “Oprah who?” when asked whether they had sat down and watched the Sussexes’ CBS chat.

Sophie then added: “Yes, what interview?”

This was followed up when Sophie then admitted there was “no reason to know who” the US chat show legend was.

She was criticised at the time by some on social media as the 59-year-old visited the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in 2013.

Sophie visited the course and its students in Meyerton, South Africa, as part of a week-long visit to the country with her husband Edward.

Trending

Sophie’s remark came up after the couple were quizzed about a moment when Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, had a long conversation with Oprah – but was unaware of who she was during their chat.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Sophie defended the Archbishop, adding: “You know, if you’re not into chat shows, there’s no reason why you should know who she is.

“Certainly not in this country, anyway.”

During the same interview, Sophie discussed Harry’s return to the UK following the death of his grandfather Prince Philip, so he could attend the funeral.

But Sophie said it was “nice” to see the Duke of Sussex and the pair had a “lengthy chat” upon his return.

It appears that relations between the brothers are as frosty as ever – snubbing an opportunity to put on a united front.

The pair attended the Diana Legacy Award event to pay tribute to their late mother – but the Duke of Sussex joined remotely from Montecito in California while the Prince of Wales delivered a speech in person to mark the charity’s 25th anniversary.

In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that Sir Nicholas Soames, a close friend of Prince Charles, leaked the fabricated news of Meghan Markle’s pregnancy with Archie to the King.

Despite conflicting reports from both sides, claiming the King’s desire to extend an olive branch and Meghan’s wish for a harmonious relationship with Charles, it is clear that these statements hold no truth.

The royal family is currently grappling with a much bigger issue – the impending revelation of the use of surrogates.

This scandalous subject continues to plague the royals, who must find a way to handle it without implicating themselves in the deceit.

Understandably, there is a great deal of animosity within the family towards Meghan for repeatedly subjecting them to this immense mess, which has become a daily source of turmoil for the monarchy.

Everyone within the palace has their own ideas on how to address the situation.

Leading this charge is Sir Nicholas Soames, a trusted confidant of Charles and a member of his inner circle.

Although he does not hold an official role within the royal household, his familial connection to Winston Churchill, who enjoyed close ties with the royals during his tenure as Prime Minister, grants him significant influence.

The truth surrounding the existence of invisible children, the use of surrogates, the bullying allegations, and any other pertinent information must be brought to light.

The public has grown weary of the ongoing drama surrounding the Markles, and their patience has worn thin.

Many suspect that the family was initially deceived and only discovered the truth when they were already trapped in a precarious situation.

While there may have been initial sympathy for Meghan, the tide is turning against her, and people are beginning to question her motives.

The recent birthday story published in Spur magazine also raises eyebrows.

It is highly unlikely that a woman would be discharged from the hospital just two hours after receiving an epidural, as the article suggests.

Such a quick departure may be plausible if Meghan were not the one giving birth.

Speculation abounds, and while some may initially sympathize with the less fortunate and angry individuals involved, a growing number of people suspect the truth and believe that the royal family was initially hoodwinked.

Despite their initial victimhood, the British royal family may eventually find forgiveness from the public.

They were unwitting participants in this elaborate scam, preoccupied with their own lives and duties.

 

Sir Nicholas Soames has also defended his friend of 65 years, stating that past indiscretions should not overshadow his loyalty.

On the other side of the divide, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Catherine are firmly resolved to see Harry and Meghan dealt with decisively, putting an end to their disruptive games once and for all.

King Charles, a considerate and peace-seeking monarch, simply desires a quiet life, and who can blame him?

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan seem determined to secure a substantial financial settlement for themselves and their children.

It is worth noting that they have distanced themselves from another grandfather figure, though this time it does not involve any jewelry or precious gems.

In other news, the popularity of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has taken a hit as a recent poll reveals a decline in public opinion compared to other members of the British royal family.

The survey indicates that a mere 14% of respondents in the UK consider Harry and Meghan to be positive role models.

In contrast, a significant 71% view Prince William and Kate Middleton in a favorable light, marking a 7% increase since the same question was asked in 2020.

Cleanse it like Beckham! David Beckham has set pulses races as he decided to trial some of his wife’s beauty products in a clip prompting fans to beg them to appear in their own reality series.

She’s always trying to get me to cleanse my face,’ he starts out the clip squeezing some of Victoria’s cleanser into hands while posing shirtless in front of the bathroom mirror.

After noting that it smells and feels good, Becks goes on to confidently ponder how good he will look after washing it off.

He then reveals his daily swear by to looking good, a mix of his wife’s power serum.

Cameron Diaz’s Outburst: Meghan Markle Allegedly Refuses to Pay $3000 Sushi Bill, Sparking Fury and Accusations of Blackmail

 

Meghan invited Cameron and a few other famous friends for a fun girls’ night out at a hot new sushi spot in LA last weekend. Meghan was treating them as a thank-you for their support since her move to California. Cameron was looking forward to a relaxing dinner with good company and delicious food. However, the meal didn’t go as planned.

Reports say that as the evening progressed and sake bottles emptied, the group ordered multiple specialty rolls, platters of sushi, and even some high-end wagyu beef to share. All sounded great until the bill arrived—over $3,000. Meghan’s smile reportedly faded, and she refused to pick up the tab. Cameron was shocked. She couldn’t believe Meghan, who had insisted it was her treat, was trying to pass off the bill to someone else.

 

In Cameron’s words, Meghan “made me pay that [expletive]!” Meghan had promised to cover the bill but reneged when it came, saying it was too much. Cameron was furious. She slammed her wallet on the table and confronted Meghan, refusing to back down until Meghan paid up. Witnesses claim Meghan played dumb, saying she didn’t realize how expensive it would be and thought someone else should chip in.

But Cameron had had enough. She told Meghan she was responsible for the whole tab since it was her idea to host. Allegedly, Cameron warned Meghan that if she didn’t pay immediately, she’d post about the fiasco on Instagram for their celebrity friends and followers to see. That got Meghan moving. She quickly paid the bill, glaring at Cameron the whole time.

After the blowout, Cameron stormed out, too irritated to stay for dessert. The cab ride home was reportedly dead silent. Relations between the two have been frosty ever since. Cameron has mostly kept quiet until now, explaining her distance from Meghan. She felt betrayed by Meghan’s dine-and-dash antics.

Prince Harry is thought to be focused on securing a home in the UK as he looks to have a ‘permanent’ base in his home country, according to a royal expert.

The Duke of Sussex stepped back from royal life and the royal family in 2020 and has been an official resident of the US alongside his wife Meghan Markle since leaving the UK. However, it seems he’s still keen to have a base in the UK, especially as he no longer has a formal royal residence to return to when he visits the UK since being evicted from Frogmore Cottage last year.

Royal author and expert Tom Quinn exclusively told the Mirror: “As time goes by, Harry misses some aspects of his old life in the UK. Inevitably, the honeymoon period where everything in the States is new and exciting is coming to an end and Harry is looking back at the past through rose-tinted spectacles.”

Prince Harry is ‘determined to find his own permanent home in the UK’

He added: “He misses his Old Etonian and army friends, many of whom have not visited as they don’t get on with Meghan. Harry is determined to find his own permanent home in the UK, which is partly why he’s continuing his legal action to get the British taxpayer to pay for his security.”

The claims come after Harry revealed in his 2023 autobiography ‘Spare’ about his sadness at having to leave Frogmore Cottage, his former royal residence at Windsor Castle. The couple were gifted Frogmore Cottage in 2019 by Queen Elizabeth II, and paid for an extensive renovation independently after initially using taxpayers’ money and then repaying it. However, their time in the five-bedroom house was short-lived as by the end of 2019 they had announced their decision to leave the royal family and vacated in 2020.

Writing in his memoir ‘Spare’, Harry reflected upon a meeting with Charles and William that he’d asked for after his grandfather Prince Philip’s funeral. Whilst waiting for the others to arrive at Frogmore Cottage, Harry was left saddened as he realised the cottage that was going to be his ‘forever home’ wasn’t. He wrote: “Once upon a time, this was going to be my forever home. Instead it had proved to be just another brief stop.”

Prince Harry’s hopes for a UK home also come as he continues his legal battle against the UK Home Office as he launches an appeal against a High Court ruling dismissing his challenge over a decision to change the level of his personal security when he visits the UK by a Court of Appeal judge. Harry first began the action after the Home Office, the ministry responsible for policing, in February 2020 cut off his right to automatic personal police security while in the UK.

Of all the career highlights that were celebrated in David Beckham’s hit Netflixdocumentary, it was that viral “be honest” exchange with wife Victoria that captured viewers’ attention the most.

In the now-iconic scene from the hit documentary about David’s life and career,

the former England captain could be heard scolding wife Victoria for apparently embellishing the truth about her “working class” roots.

“Be honest,” the former Manchester United player told the Spice Girls star, while peering out from behind a door.

“I am being honest,” Victoria insisted, before David finally cajoled her into admitting she was driven to school as a child in her dad’s Rolls Royce.

The moment left viewers in stitches, but David has since revealed it didn’t go down too well with the director Fisher Stevens at the time.

During a recent Emmys event at Netflix’s Tudum Theater in Hollywood, the football star recalled: “It was Victoria’s first day filming, and she was sat there in the lounge, looking great. She had the dogs running in and out and Fisher thought that I’d left the house, but I was in the kitchen making a coffee before I went to the office.”

He continued: “I put the set of headphones on, and all of a sudden I heard my wife go, ‘Well, we’re down to earth.’ And I was like, ‘No, no, no.’ As soon as I heard her say, ‘We’re working class,’ I stuck my head in and I was like, ‘Be honest’.”

But the sporting star admitted that Fisher was actually “very angry with me over that”.

The Succession actor confirmed that he wasn’t best pleased about the moment, clarifying that they scheduled the interview with Victoria “because David was supposedly out and she could be free to say what she wants, and then he showed up and I was quite upset. I was like, ‘Get him out of here’.”

“But it actually turned out to be brilliant,” he conceded. “It worked out. Thank God the cameraman caught David, and then I did say, ‘We have gold, I think’.”

The married couple have continued to poke fun at one another over the memorable exchange in the past few months.

In his recent video montage shared for Victoria’s 50th birthday, David came with the receipts and included a picture of said Rolls Royce.

They even made light of their viral moment in a recent ad campaign that aired during the 2024 Super Bowl.
David Beckham’s Netflix documentary was filled with career highlights, but it was the viral “be honest” moment with his wife Victoria that stole the show. In the now-famous scene, David playfully called out Victoria for not being entirely truthful about her upbringing, particularly her claims of being working class. Victoria defended herself, but David eventually got her to admit that she was, in fact, chauffeured to school in a Rolls Royce as a child. The moment was comedic gold, but it didn’t sit well with the director, Fisher Stevens, at first.During a recent event at Netflix’s Tudum Theater in Hollywood, David recounted the incident, revealing that Fisher was not happy with him for interrupting Victoria’s interview. Fisher had scheduled the interview assuming David was out of the house, so he was understandably upset when David unexpectedly joined in. Despite the initial friction, the moment ultimately added a touch of authenticity to the documentary.David and Victoria have since embraced the humorous side of the exchange, poking fun at each other in public appearances and advertisements. In a recent video montage for Victoria’s 50th birthday, David even included a photo of the infamous Rolls Royce. Their ability to laugh at themselves and their relationship has endeared them to fans all over the world.The Beckham’s playful banter not only reflects their strong bond but also showcases their down-to-earth personalities. Despite their fame and fortune, they remain grounded and relatable, making them one of the most beloved celebrity couples in the world.As we eagerly await more glimpses into the lives of David and Victoria Beckham, it’s clear that their authenticity and humor will continue to charm audiences worldwide.

Harper Beckham is already becoming a mini fashion icon thanks to her stylish parents, and on Monday morning the little girl swapped her  school uniform in favour of a animal print onesie!

Victoria Beckham shared a photograph of her youngest child dressed in a very festive one-piece, which featured a reindeer hood complete with antlers.

“Wear it wild day at school for Harper,” the former Spice Girl captioned the post. Recently, Harper changed her school  uniform in preparation for the winter months ahead,

and was pictured on her mum’s Instagram account wearing a purple winter dress teamed with a stripy purple shirt and a matching purple beret.

“The beret is back! Bring on the winter uniform!” Victoria wrote besides the photo.

Victoria and husband David Beckham take it in turns to do the school run, and prioritise spending as much time as possible with their children.

The pair encourage their children’s talents, and Harper has been demonstrating her creativity, enjoying everything from drawing to making biscuits with Victoria, while at the same time having fun attending weekly football lessons – much to David’s delight. Victoria told British Vogue of her only daughter: “She’s been able to run in Alaïa platforms since she was three. But only at home – she would never be allowed to leave the house in heels. Ditto makeup, that’s where it stays.”

The fashion designer, 44, added: “On the one hand, she’s quite girly, but on the other hand she has three big brothers and likes to run around and play football. She’s not scared of being pushed over. Confident and bright, Harper could be the brains of the family. She wants to be an inventor.”

Over the summer, Harper also proved that she has a mind of her own after asking her parents to let her cut her long, Rapunzel-like hair.

Saira Khan is set to join former This Morning host Eamonn Holmes on his GB Breakfast show every Monday and Tuesday

Former Loose Women star Saira Khan has joined Eamonn Holmes on GB News following a “toxic” fallout with ITV bosses.

The telly personality, 53, is the latest famous face to be enticed over to the right-leaning channel.

She’s set to join former This Morning host Eamonn on his GB Breakfast show every Monday and Tuesday, according to the telly star.

Taking to his Instagram, Eamonn, who is married to ITV star Ruth Langsford, to announce his excitement at being joined by one of his “best friends”.

Alongside a snap of the pair beaming, Eamonn wrote: “Your Mon/Tues line up on GB Breakfast.

“Looking forward to hooking up with one of my best friends Saira Khan.

“We will be your presenting duo. Expect the unexpected 6 – 9.30 am.” [sic]

Eamonn joined the controversy-prone channel a year ago after co-presenting episodes of This Morning alongside his wife for 15 years.

He recently reignited his feud with ITV after making savage comments during his show, admitting that there are certain people who are “dead” to him.

As well as Eamonn, Saira joins an on-air line up which includes the likes of the Daily Mail’s Andrew Pierce, Camilla Tominey from the Telegraph and polarising figure Nigel Farage, who fronts GB News’s most popular show.

Her career move come just months after she exclusively revealed the real reason she quit Loose Women to the Mirror.

Saira is the latest famous face to be enticed over to the right-leaning channel
The former panellist claimed bosses tried to make her join soft porn site OnlyFans as a PR stunt.

Saira told how the “shocking” request was the final straw in what she alleged were a string of desperate bids to get publicity for the ITV programme as ratings slipped.

She revealed how she was also asked to have a mould made of her vagina for a Body Stories campaign.

Saira alleged bosses cared more about viewing figures than her mental health.

Speaking about ITV culture in the wake of Jeremy Kyle and Love Island scandals following the suicides of contestants, Saira said: “The straw that broke the camel’s back was when one of the young producers was sent running after me to ask whether I would be prepared to open an OnlyFans account.” OnlyFans is a site where users post soft porn images of themselves for cash.

“To say I was shocked was an understatement,” Saira added. “I could see she herself was mortified to ask me. I replied, ‘You’re asking an Asian woman who has a husband and kids and comes from a Muslim family to open an OnlyFans account?’

“There and then, I knew my time was up on the show. I felt humiliated, angry, disappointed and like fodder.”

ITV has come under mounting pressure over the mental health of employees after a series of high-profile suicides, including that of former Love Island host Caroline Flack aged 40. And The Jeremy Kyle Show was axed in 2019 after Steve Dymond, 63, killed himself just seven days after taking part in the programme.

Mum-of-two Saira said: “The system is toxic. They do not have people who have the expertise to introduce wellbeing and mental health care.”

She said: “I love TV presenting, but I knew that for the sake of my mental health and my family, I just could not carry on in such toxic working conditions.”

She claimed that the culture of Loose Women encouraged the presenters to argue which made her “into a bitchy person I don’t want to be”. She added: “I started to realise they just wanted me to tick the box of ‘gobby Muslim woman’.”

Saira, who quit the show in 2021, claimed comments taken out of context would be packaged up and used as clickbait, and often she would have to deal with the subsequent trolling and death threats. “I was never sat down and reassured to make sure I was OK,” she said.

A spokesman for Loose Women said at the time of her claims: “We strongly refute all of these claims. Duty of care is of paramount importance for all of our panellists. Saira left the panel almost two years ago and we wish her well.”

Another former panellist also spoke out about their reasons for leaving the daytime show recently.

Jenny Powell revealed she quit Loose Women, claiming she felt “intimidated” by her fellow panellists.

The presenter, 54, who left the show in 2005 but has since appeared as a guest, hit out at the ITV daytime show as she explained her reasons for “sacking it off”.

Jenny said it wasn’t one happy family behind-the-scenes and there was a bad energy brewing between the panellists at the time she decided to leave the show.

The TV star was on the programme with the likes of Coleen Nolan, Carol McGiffin, Kaye Adams and Ruth Langsford in the early 2000s, but didn’t give away any names when she spilled all on her time there.

“I sacked it off. I didn’t like the energy behind the scenes,” she said last year.

“I always felt a bit intimidated of the other women. Maybe I’m just a bit sensitive.”
