Angry WME CEO Ari Emanuel Drops Last-Minute Bombshell on Meghan Markle – Duchess Banned from Hollywood

Meghan and Prince Harry made headlines earlier this year when they announced they would step back from their senior royal roles. Since then, fans have been speculating about Meghan’s next moves in Hollywood.

It seems Meghan hit a major roadblock recently. She had a meeting set up with Ari Emanuel, the powerful CEO of WME, to discuss potential representation and projects. Ari is a big player in Hollywood, so this meeting was a crucial opportunity for Meghan to kickstart her post-royal career.

According to my insider, Meghan arrived at Ari’s Beverly Hills office looking professional and ready to pitch herself. However, things took an unexpected turn right from the start. Ari was reportedly cold and dismissive, barely paying attention as Meghan introduced herself. He made derogatory remarks about princesses not belonging in Hollywood and suggested she should stay in England with her prince.

Naturally, Meghan was taken aback by Ari’s hostile demeanor. Despite this, she tried to pitch her ideas, from producing documentaries to hosting her own talk show. But Ari shut her down immediately, questioning why any network or studio would want to work with someone as controversial as her.

My source says Meghan lost her composure at this point. She confronted Ari, demanding to know his problem. That’s when things escalated further. Ari criticized Meghan for tarnishing the Royal Family’s reputation and accused her of mistreating the Queen and the monarchy.

This confrontation reportedly reached a breaking point. Meghan raised her voice, defending herself against Ari’s accusations of racism and injustice. Witnesses claim Ari then erupted, ordering Meghan to leave his office and never return, effectively blacklisting her in Hollywood.

The fallout didn’t stop there. Word spread quickly about the heated exchange, and Ari allegedly sent emails to major studio heads and network executives, warning them against working with Meghan. He vowed repercussions for anyone who defied his directive.

Now, Meghan’s prospects in Hollywood appear bleak. Her connections and chances of landing significant projects seem to have been severed by this confrontation with one of Hollywood’s most influential figures.

As for Meghan, insiders say she’s furious and looking for ways to retaliate against Ari Emanuel. But in a town where power dynamics are everything, the question remains: does Meghan have the leverage to challenge someone like Ari on his home turf? Only time will tell how this Hollywood feud unfolds.

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story. Thanks for watching, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more exclusive Hollywood news and insights.

Prince Harry Left ‘Infuriated’ as King Charles Rejects Financial Support for Meghan Markle’s Lifestyle

Share this post:

In early 2018, Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, made it clear to Prince Harry that he was not prepared to fully support him and his soon-to-be wife, Meghan Markle. These revelations, among others, were unveiled in Robert Jobson’s book, “Our King: Charles III — The Man and the Monarch Revealed.” According to reports, Harry grew increasingly frustrated during the conversation as the future King Charles III explained that he couldn’t afford to financially support not only Harry and Meghan but also Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, and their young family. Prince Charles, as the heir to the throne, received annual earnings from the Duchy of Cornwall, and he did not rely on funding from Queen Elizabeth II’s Sovereign Grant.
These revelations align with complaints that the Duke of Sussex expressed in his memoir, “Spare,” where he wrote about his inability to earn money “to support my family.” The disclosure came shortly after Harry lost his legal battle in the High Court to retain taxpayer-funded security. Documents from the case, decided on February 28, revealed that Harry even demanded to know the specific person who authorized the removal of Sussex’s security four years ago. In early 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle decided to leave the United Kingdom, a move popularly known as “Megxit,” with reasons that have been the subject of ongoing debate among analysts and the couple themselves.

Regardless of the underlying reasons for their departure, government-funded royal security is typically provided only to senior royals who actively work for or receive funding from the annual Sovereign Grant. It is widely understood that members of the monarchy who receive such security reside full-time in Britain and continue to fulfill their public and private duties as representatives of the reigning monarch. Both of these principles were abandoned when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their decision to leave.

In February 2020, the flame-haired prince filed a claim against the British Home Office after their decision to withdraw security, and he released a statement last December defending his choice. Harry expressed that he and the Duchess of Sussex felt compelled to leave the monarchy nearly four years ago.

“With great sadness, my wife and I felt forced to step back from our roles and leave the country in 2020. The U.K. is my home. It is central to the heritage of my children, and I want them to feel at home there, just as they do where they currently reside in the United States,” read Harry’s recent witness statement, underscoring his deep connection to the United Kingdom.

Prince Harry and King Charles have been making steps to mend their broken relationship, with one royal expert suggesting the monarch is planning to visit his son

King Charles seems “willing to find a resolution” to his bitter feud with Prince Harry, with reports suggesting he plans to make a trip to see his son.

The father-and-son have been embroiled in a bitter feud ever since Harry left the Royal Family. However, they have been taking small steps to reconcile and even reunited in London earlier this year.

Now, royal author Tom Quinn has claimed Charles has had discussions about visiting America to meet with Harry, Meghan Markle and their two children – Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Relationship expert Louella Alderson believes it could be the first step in Harry and Charles resolving their differences.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: “The logistics behind King Charles’s making a trip to America, whether it’s private or not, and meeting with Harry without may prove difficult. King Charles has many Royal obligations and now health issues as well, so a trip to America in any capacity would likely require careful planning and coordination.

“This fact alone means if King Charles is willing to make the effort and put forth the time and energy to visit Harry in America, it could be a significant gesture of his desire to mend their relationship. It’s possible that he may be more willing to address any issues and work towards finding a resolution than he has been previously.”

However, she admitted the trip might not be a success. Louella explained: “While it may show a willingness on the King’s part to try and reconcile their relationship, it ultimately depends on both parties being open to communication and willing to start working through any issues that have caused tension between them.”

The expert added: “Ultimately, the success of this trip and potential reconciliation between King Charles and Harry will depend on both parties being open and committed to resolving their differences. It may take time for their relationship to fully heal after the events of recent years, but every effort made towards reconciliation is a positive step.”

Her comments come after Tom Quinn previously told The Mirror: “Charles has had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future, and there is no doubt if it goes ahead he would build in time to visit his youngest son and his grandchildren, but there are mountains of planning to be overcome before that becomes even a remote possibility.”

He continued: “King Charles has privately visited many other countries – he made an unpublicised visit to Transylvania for example to check up on his rental properties – so it’s certainly possible that he would make a discreet private visit to Harry and the children in California. He is desperate to see them and hates the idea that Archie and Lily will not remember him as the warm friendly grandfather he wants to be.”

Prince William was seen busting out his best dance moves at Taylor Swift’s London concert before taking two of his children backstage to meet the singer-songwriter

Taylor Swift was seen smiling as she spent time with Prince William, having previously rejected the chance to work with Meghan Markle.

The Prince of Wales was seen busting some wild dance moves as he watched Taylor’s Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium on Friday night, before then being invited to meet the singer backstage. William also took his two eldest children – Prince George and Princess Charlotte – to chat with Taylor.

The group all beamed as they posed for a selfie, with Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce even making an appearance. The meeting couldn’t be further from what happened when the Duchess of Sussex tried to convince Taylor to appear on her Archetypes podcast with a “personal letter”.

Meghan is believed to have reached out to Taylor to join her on her podcast last year but was rejected by the singer. According to the Telegraph, Meghan wrote a “personal letter” to Taylor, asking her to appear on Archetypes, “but the singer declined, through a representative.”

Archetypes ran for one season on Spotify, with Meghan producing 12 episodes. The podcast had a number of guest star appearances from celebrities such as Serena Williams, Paris Hilton and Jameela Jamil.

However, the show was scrapped from the streaming service when it was announced Meghan and her husband Prince Harry had been axed from Spotify. Following the axe, a top Spotify executive lashed out at Harry and Meghan and labelled them “f****** grifters”.

After leaving Spotify, Meghan joined forced with podcast network Lemonada, which has already distributed the first season of Archetypes. Meghan is also set to launch a new podcast with the company.

The new show is set for release next year. Meghan announced her partnership with Lemonada by releasing a statement earlier this year. She said: “I’m proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting.

Princess Diana grew up on the Althorp Estate and was laid to rest at her childhood home, but her sons Prince Harry and Prince William won’t inherit the 13,500 acres of land

Prince Harry and Prince William inherited a lot of their mother’s belongings when she sadly died in a car crash, but there’s one thing the pair will never inherit.

Princess Diana was killed in a fatal crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, while her driver Henri Paul was fleeing the paparazzi. Henri and Diana’s boyfriend Dodi Fayed were also killed in the crash.

Harry and William received the bulk of Diana’s £13million fortune when she died as well as a lot of her jewellery. However, the brothers won’t be inheriting their mother’s childhood home, Althorp Estate, as it will instead be handed down to an actor.

The property, which has been in the Spencer family since 1508, will be inherited by Harry and William’s cousin Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp. Louis is the son of Diana’s brother Earl Charles Spencer.

Louis has three older sisters, but he will be the one to inherit the estate due to the aristocracy’s system of primogeniture, where titles are passed down to the oldest boy.

The Althorp Estate is where Diana grew up and also where she was laid to rest. The huge estate opens its doors to visitors every summer.

Louis studied at the University of Edinburgh before starting his acting career at a drama school in Chiswick, London. He’s now represented by Tavistock Wood talent agency.

A source previously told The Telegraph: “He’s super private and gets on quietly with his thing. He’s a very talented actor and, I think, will be a brilliant one. You’d like him. He’s very low-key and genuine, decent and kind and tall.”

Prince Harry has had a fractured relationship with both his father and his older brother William ever since he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020

There was a time when Prince William and Prince Harry were incredibly close. But in recent years, the gulf between has grown to such an extent that a reunion seems highly doubtful, according to experts.

In the time since he left the royal family, Harry and wife Meghan Markle have been openly critical of the monarchy; in their infamous Oprah interview, their Netflix show, interviews, and in his memoir Spare.

Their continual bombshells have left William’s relationship with Harry strained – and according to one royal expert, there’s one personal reason the future King ‘cut ties’ with his younger brother.

Ingrid Seward touched up the importance of stability in William’s life as she told the Mirror: “William is sensitive, he likes structure and has perseverance. He does not give up easily.”

She then revealed: “His relationship with brother Harry upset him more than he would care to admit. But he found it easier to cut ties rather than allow himself to be continually annoyed.”

Reflecting on William’s challenging year, Ingrid continued: “His father got cancer and Kate had a serious abdominal operation. Later to announce she too had to have cancer treatment. William played both mother and father to the children while he carried on with his royal duties supporting the Queen in his father’s absence.

“The traumas of the past year have made him a stronger person. He has become the kind of man Diana always hoped he would be. Kind considerate and able to take on whatever life throws at him.”

Prince William is believed to have cut ties with his younger brother and it is not known when they last saw each other. In his 60 Minutes interview in January 2023, Harry was asked if he “Speaks to William now? Do you text?” He replied: “Currently, no. But I look forward to… I look forward to us being able to find peace.” The interviewer pressed on how much time it had been, to which Harry added that it had been “a while.”

When he was asked whether he spoke to his father, he replied: “We haven’t spoken for quite a while. No, not recently.” He continued: “But at the heart of it, there is a family, without question. And I really look forward to having that family element back. I look forward to having a relationship with my brother.

“I look forward to having a relationship with my father and other members of my family. My brother and I love each other. I love him deeply. There has been a lot of pain between the two of us, especially the last six years.”

Prince Harry most recently returned to his home country in May to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games. However, he did not reunite with his father. He cited the King’s ‘full schedule’ – but this was called into question when it was revealed that Charles had offered Harry royal accommodation, which was refused.

The father and son last saw each other in February when Harry flew to London to see the King amid news of the monarch’s cancer diagnosis. Their meeting lasted just 45 minutes.

But, according to reports, Charles is still keen to have a relationship with his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet.

Tom Quinn, a royal commentator and author, has said that Harry is being urged by the King to find a UK residence so that Charles can spend more quality time with his family.

However, he doubts that Meghan would accompany her husband, given her past experiences with the Royal Family.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Mr Quinn stated: “King Charles has been putting pressure on Harry to do just this as he is angry that his only relationship with his grandchildren so far is via video calls, which Charles hates. William and Kate’s children would spend the weekend at Highgrove and Harry’s children could then easily pop over from their house nearby.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have often been accused of making announcements that clash with high profile events for the Royal Family, but one expert has claimed they are ‘increasingly irrelevant’

Since stepping back from their senior Royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been regularly updating the public on their personal milestones and business ventures. However, it’s been noted that the timing of these announcements often coincides with significant events in the Royal Family’s calendar.

This pattern has led a top Royal expert to suggest that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are becoming “increasingly irrelevant” as the Royal Family focuses more on supporting those in need through meaningful gestures.

“I can’t honestly imagine that they are sitting there scheming to make announcements on the same day as a royal event. Surely they are bigger than that? “, former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond pondered.

“It’s true that there have been some rather strange coincidences in the past about the timing of some of their announcements. But I think they are becoming less and less relevant to the news over here, and the Royal Family will command the attention every time.”

Over time, the couple have raised eyebrows by making announcements that have clashed with important or significant days for the Royal Family, reports OK!.

Recent events have seen a product launch clashing with Trooping the Colour, coinciding with the Princess of Wales ‘ first public appearance post-cancer treatment. Additionally, Meghan’s luxury lifestyle brand American Riveria Orchard was announced just before Prince William’s speech at an awards ceremony honouring his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

However, the Royal Family has recently made their loyalties clear amidst a flurry of Royal engagements. During the recent Royal Ascot week, one gesture stood out as King Charles invited Lady Gabriella Kingston to join him in one of the carriages on the first day of the procession.

This heartwarming act followed the tragic suicide of Lady Gabriella’s husband, Thomas Kingston, aged 45, in February.

“The death of Gabriella’s husband shocked the whole family, and I’m sure they have all tried to help in what is a deeply sensitive situation,” Jennie says. “But what a lovely gesture by the King to invite her into the carriage – and on the first day of Royal Ascot.”

“It’s a unique way for Charles to show is support and affection for Gabriella and a brave decision on her part to make such a very public appearance. She must be a strong woman.”

“What said it all, though, was the massive hug Zara gave her which was so obviously full of love, sympathy and support. I think it showed the family have been and are doing all they can to help her through this devastating time.”

The famous couple made waves with their ‘unofficial tour’ to Nigeria. However Meghan and Harry could hit a stumbling block in Australia where they ‘can’t go’ on this occassion

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ‘can’t go to Australia’ during world tour – despite the huge ‘success’ of their Nigeria trip.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who quit as senior royals in 2020, have now come up with a hurdle in terms of a rumoured visit to Australia. Royal reporter Louise Roberts believes Harry and Meghan are prepared to embark on a ‘ world tour’ after the successful Nigeria visit. However, she criticised the couple for their previous claims of wanting ‘privacy’.

She told Sky News Australia: “In May, after Nigeria, and that was a successful faux royal tour for them, let’s face it, Harry made the comment they want to do more of this.” Speaking on the channel’s Royal Report, Louise added: “(Harry and Meghan) are obsessed with privacy but a world tour is a direct contradiction.”

The journalist also shared the Sussexes are ‘unable to travel to Australia’ in the near future because an unofficial visit could clash with King Charles and Queen Camilla’s upcoming tour of the country in October. She said: “They can’t go where Charles and Camilla will go – they can’t go to Australia.”

Meanwhile Meghan and Harry have given fans a glimpse of what happened behind-the-scenes of their Nigeria visit. In a stunning moment, Meghan came over all emotional when she was presented a very special gift for Archie and Lilibet.

She had earlier said how much she missed not being with them for Mother’s Day so it was even more poignant. During their high-profile visit to the African continent, we can reveal the Duchess of Sussex was left speechless by a gesture from young Grace Busari, 13.

Meghan was overwhelmed when she was presented a pair of stunning hand-stitched teddy bears from 13-year-old Grace, daughter of CNN Nigeria Bureau chief and Senior Editor invited to join Meghan and Harry on their visit.

The cuddly toys from Grace’s line @graceteddies, made from traditional African print material, almost reduced Meghan to tears as she grabbed Stephanie, Grace’s proud mum for a hug. Stephanie, who was part of the Women in Business conference Meghan attended, opened up about the groundbreaking trip.

She said: “Wow! That was the weekend that was! Flying to Abuja to cover the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visit, I truly didn’t know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised. They are fun, caring, loved up, compassionate, total naturals with a crowd. To see Harry sitting on the floor to play volleyball with disabled servicemen was something and he showed such compassion too during his hospital visit to Kaduna.

“It was a private visit but looked like a royal tour in all but name! So happy that Harry and Meghan visited Nigeria to shine a spotlight on the injured servicemen and women, Invictus Games and mental health — and to dispel a few myths about Nigeria being a dangerous place! Also wonderful to see Meghan celebrated and welcomed as per Naija girl! Welcome Omowale Ada Mazi Adetokunbo Amira. (Just a few of the names she has received while here!)”

Prince Harry could open up about his alienation from his father-in-law Thomas Markle in new memoir

Prince Harry might address his decision to ignore Meghan Markle’s father Thomas Markle in his future memoir.

The Duchess of Sussex’s father, who is close to marking his 80th birthday, has an estrangement

with his daughter and son-in-law.

Speaking on GB News, Richard Fitzwilliams shared that the Duke of Sussex could open up about his alienation from his father-in-law.

“Before the engagement, it has never been explained why Harry has never met Thomas Markle”, he said.

Fitzwilliams continued, “That is something that perhaps will be explained in a future memoir, but this is all very sad business.”

“It’s not going to be resolved. The fact that Thomas is appealing to King Charles and so forth is not going to mean anything happens, I’m afraid,” he added.

The royal commentator noted, “As far as the wider royal drift is concerned, the Royal Family have other priorities at the moment, putting it mildly.”

Fitzwilliams responded he saw little chance of a reconciliation for Thomas’s 80th birthday when Martin asked whether there would be “any chance” of one.

To note earlier on Sunday Thomas Markle revealed to DailyMail, “what has happened in the last six years” and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s treatment towards him and King Charles.

A source said the Trooping the Colour event earlier this month “hammered home” how the Duke of Sussex is now an “outsider”

Prince Harry would havee “loved” to have been invited to Trooping the Colour and felt “upset” when he saw footage of Princess Kate at the royal event, a source has claims.

The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, missed out on an invite to the King’s official birthday on June 15 for the second year in a row having stepped back as senior royals.

In what was just one of three recent humiliations, which included snubs from both his father and the Duke of Westminster, the event “hammered home” how Harry is now an “outsider”, according to the source.

They told Closer magazine: “It was painful for Harry to see all his family gathered for Trooping the Colour. He would have dearly loved to have been there, if only to congratulate and support Kate in person on what must have been an incredibly difficult day for her.

“Harry was particularly upset and emotional when he saw the footage of Kate. He’s been so worried about her ever since he received the news of her condition, and while he has managed to connect with her on a few occasions, it’s not nearly as often as he’d like.”

They continued: “He could see she was putting on a stoic, brave face, but ultimately having the eyes of the world on her was a lot of pressure. The fact he had to watch from 6,000 miles away just made him so sad.

“It really hammered home how he’s an outsider at this point. He would just love to have her – along with the rest of his family – back in his life properly.”

Harry took a step back from his royal duties in 2020 to start a new life in California with his wife and two children, Archie, 5.

He last visited the UK in May, attending the 10th anniversary service at St Paul’s Cathedral for the Invictus Games. But he did not meet his father King Charles, as the monarch was “too busy” to see him.

In what has been a particularly difficult time for the Royals, with both Princess Kate and King Charles’ cancer diagnoses, the current state of affairs is worlds away from the brothers’ “Fab Four” appearances when Meghan first joined the family.

In addition to his snub from Trooping the Colour, Harry was “uninvited” to the Duke of Westminster’s “wedding of the year” earlier this month, according to royal biographer Emily Andrews.

She said: “Harry has broken so many bonds of trust with so many people, it is difficult to see him ever attending a society wedding or Trooping the Colour again.”
