Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter issued a seven-word warning to Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, on Thursday’s show.

During the latest instalment, the Prime Minister, 44, joined the panel as he was asked a series of questions by panellists Kaye Adams, Janet, 77, Judi Love and Jane Moore.

At the start of the chat, host Kaye, 61, said: “Welcome, welcome, you’ve got your own mug and everything!” to which the Prime Minister responded: “I’m very excited about this mug, my office were asking about the mug before I came, they’re going to be particularly happy!”

Asked if he was a fan of Loose Women, the Prime Minister said: “I’ll be totally honest…” before adding: “I’ve done a lot of things in this job but being here is probably on the more intimidating end of things I’ve had to do.”

Janet then said: “You were quite smiley earlier, weren’t you?”, she then jokingly issued a seven-word warning, saying: “Will you be smiley in five minutes?” to which the Prime Minister quipped: “What have you got? It depends what you’ve got written there!” with Kaye adding: “Don’t you worry, Janet will look after you!”

Later in the show, Janet took aim at the Prime Minister as she asked: “Why do you hate pensioners?” to which the audience erupted into cheers. Janet said: “Let me ask you something, just moving it slightly on to my generation, pensioners, I want to ask you a very simple question.

“I think you’re a decent man, I do think you work really hard, hat’s off to you for that, I do think your heart’s in the right place but why do you hate pensioners?” Janet added: “That is the only conclusion I can come to as a result of the spring budget.”Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were quick to react to Janet grilling the Prime Minister. One person said: ‘There’s only going to be one winner between Rishi Sunak and Janet Street-Porter….#loosewomen”, a different account put: “You tell him Janet!! #loosewomen”, another wrote: “Janet Street-Porter to Rishi Sunak: “Why do you hate pensioners?” #loosewomen” while a different account added: “Loving Janet Street Porter on #LooseWomen. Tell him.”

It comes as the Prime Minister appeared on This Morning earlier this year, where he was quizzed by host Rylan Clark at the time.

Princess Kate breaks silence as she issues personal statement of gratitude to Andy Murray

Kate issued a personal message to Andy Murra

The Princess of Wales took to social media with the message

Princess Kate has broken her silence by issuing a personal statement of gratitude to Andy Murray.

The Princess of Wales took to social media with an important message for the tennis star as the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

 

Kate, 42, posted a heartfelt message which read: “An incredible #Wimbledon career comes to an end. You should be so very proud @andy_murray.

“On behalf of all of us, thank you! C.”

Kate issued a personal message to Andy Murray

The “C” signature signifies that the message was written directly by Catherine, Princess of Wales.

Murray’s Wimbledon career came to a dramatic end today.

The tennis star was said to be “absolutely devastated” after his Wimbledon career was brought to an end after his mixed doubles partner Emma Raducanu pulled out of their match.

The British tennis legend had intended to play his last matches at the tournament with the 21-year-old English star in a celebratory climax to his career.

Andy Murray’s Wimbledon career came to an end today

However, Murray will not make it onto the court after Raducanu withdrew today citing “stiffness in her wrist”.

The 37-year-old had been forced to bow out of the singles on Monday with a back injury, before losing alongside his brother Jamie in the first round of the men’s doubles.

This sparked a tearful post-match interview in which he admitted it was “too tough” for him to continue playing.

He had hoped for some form of redemption by taking part in the mixed doubles with Raducanu, who previously said it was a “dream” to partner up with him, before the shock announcement.

Kate has not attended any Wimbledon matches so far in 2024 as she is currently undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy.

In a statement last month, the Princess of Wales said she hopes to attend some engagements over the summer, but only if she feels up to the task.

 

Former Coronation Street star Denise Welch, 63, has been soaking up the sun in Greece after her ITV show Loose Women was hit with hundreds of Ofcom complaints

Loose Women star Denise Welch didn’t let recent Ofcom complaints dampen her spirits as she showcased her fabulous figure in a form-fitting swimsuit. The TV host jetted off to Greece for some sunshine, just days after it was revealed that the broadcasting watchdog had received 263 complaints about a discussion on the Royal Family on her ITV show.

She appeared to have left all the drama behind as she struck a pose on deck and made the most of her time away from the spotlight. Documenting her holiday on social media, an Instagram snap showed Denise in a daring black swimming costume with a dramatic plunge neckline. Sporting black wedges and striking a pose with one knee bent on the back of a chair, she looked stunning.The star had painted her nails red to match her lipstick and looked incredibly glamorous and significantly younger than her 65 years as she threw her head back and rested one hand on her stomach. “Yes it’s the perch comfortably on the edge of the chair moment! ! ” she joked, adding the hashtag “#rhodes” to her post.

“Hot mumma,” one fan labelled the TV presenter after she posted the sizzling image, while another called Denise a “stunner”. “You are the most beautiful Queen of The Ocean,” gushed another fan, as others flooded the comments with fire emojis, reports the Daily Star. One follower wrote: “You never miss Denise! This pose is everything.” “Omg you look so slinky… wish I looked like this,” confessed another. Another fan dubbed the TV star “a babe”. “Oh my goodness Denise, you look lush hun! ! ! ” exclaimed another admirer.

Loose Women faced a backlash from viewers following an episode that aired on May 6, which saw Denise defending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, leading to a heated exchange with guest Dickie Arbiter, the former press secretary to the late Queen and King Charles.

In the conversation, Dickie brought up Harry’s memoir, Spare, and stated: “[Prince] Harry has been rubbishing the family since he walked out in 2020.”

Then he has a wife who is continually trashed by the media, including your good self, if I may say – when she is on a world stage, doing a lot of good for a lot of people. I am just sick to death of the bashing that this woman gets.”

Following the influx of complaints, Denise took to Instagram to express her support for Meghan, stating she was “appalled that this woman is abused and berated by the public and media on a daily basis”. “Not many people could mentally cope with the hate she contends with,” she added. “No wonder her husband took her away and despite everything they are thriving. Their reception in Nigeria has been wonderful to see. She concluded: “Last week I defended them against one of their detractors on TV and received 103 complaints from Ofcom! ! ! Good. Also utterly pathetic.”

Loose Women congratulated Ant McPartlin on his baby news after his wife Anne-Marie gave birth on Tuesday, welcoming a baby boy called Wilder Patrick McPartlin

Loose Women congratulated Ant McPartlin on his baby news during Wednesday’s show.

On Tuesday, 14 May, Ant, 48, welcomed his first child with wife Anne-Marie, 46. The loved-up couple, who tied the knot in 2021, announced their joyful baby news on Instagram after deciding not to announce their pregnancy publicly.

Anne-Marie gave birth to a little baby boy. Sharing a sweet black-and-white photo of Ant holding their newborn son, the proud parents also announced their baby’s name in the caption of the adorable post as they wrote: “Welcome to the family. Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin. Born, 14/05/24 at 8.54am. Baby is beautiful, Mummy’s a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad’s a mess.”

Talking about the happy news on Wednesday’s Loose Women, panellists Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan, Linda Robson and Gloria Hunniford congratulated Ant before holding a segment called: “Are men just as broody as women?”

Christine, 45, said: “Ant has always said he wanted to be a dad and very open about it, you cannot take away from the fact a lot of men just want to be daddies and they’re broody and they’re proud.”

To which Gloria, 84, replied: “I think we’re all very happy, particularly for Ant, because he made no secret of the fact he wanted a child and his wife, the lovely lady who has now given birth to this lovely boy, she had two little girls. So maybe as he was helping to raise those children, he suddenly thought even more: ‘I’d really like one of my own’.”

However, Gloria then made an observation as she added: “I’m a bit worried about the name Wilder when he gets to that wild stage in his teens, it might take on a whole new meaning but I’m very happy for him” to which Christine pointed out: “Or it might just be wholly appropriate, it might just be perfect!”

Ant’s former personal assistant Anne-Marie already has two children from a previous relationship but now she and Ant are have become parents together. After his happy post on Tuesday, Ant’s famous friends flocked to share their congratulations on his Instagram.

His fellow TV presenter, Davina McCall, penned: “Arggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!! This is AMAZING !!!! Congratulations to ALL of you.” First Dates star Fred Sirieix wrote: “Congrats.” Ashley Banjo added: “Congrats guys,” while Joel Dommett chimed in: “I LOVE THIS.”

Another fan commented: “I’ve never been so happy for someone I’ve never met. You’re going to be the best daddy Ant.” While someone else added: “Beyond happy for you Ant the final piece of the puzzle to make all your dreams come true congratulations to you, Amzie, Poppy, and Daisy. Enjoy every second of little Wilder.”

My Mum, Your dad is set to return to ITV for a second series later this year, and the first series saw some of the parents falling in love – while others were left heartbroken

The ITV dating sensation first graced our screens in 2023 and quickly became a fan favourite, earning the nickname “middle-aged Love Island”.

The show’s unique premise involves parents being nominated by their children in a quest for love, as they date each other in a bid to find romance. The contestants reside together in a sprawling countryside mansion, blissfully unaware that their kids are keeping tabs on their every move.

While ITV has yet to announce an exact premiere date for the second series, we know it will be hitting our screens sometime in September 2024. The inaugural series saw couples like Roger Hawes and Janey Smith find love, although not all romances were successful.

Here’s a look at where the contestants from the first series of My Mum, Your dad are now…, reports OK!.

Roger and Janey.

Roger and Janey are the standout success story from My Mum, Your dad. Their relationship flourished on the ITV programme, and over a year later, they’re still smitten!

Roger, 59, won over viewers when he shared his heartbreaking story of losing his beloved wife to cancer. His eldest daughter Jess, 29, put him forward for the dating show in hopes of helping him find love once more.

Jess’ efforts weren’t in vain, as Roger fell head over heels for Janey, 48, on MMYD. The mum-of-one joined the show alongside her son Will, 19.

Roger and Janey’s love story is blossoming beautifully, with the couple often spotted soaking up the sun on romantic getaways or enjoying cosy visits to each other’s homes. Their families have even bonded, sharing a delightful weekend in the scenic Cotswolds.

The lovebirds, who’ve become familiar faces on This Morning sharing their travel tales, recently toasted to their first anniversary in May. They’ve been dropping hints about tying the knot and possibly moving in together down the line.

Opening up to OK! about their whirlwind romance, Janey gushed: “We’re always together, either at my house in West Sussex or at Roger’s in Derbyshire. Even when we’re not physically together, we’re on the phone four or five times a day. It’s a wonder we get anything done [laughs]. But it’s lovely that’s how it should be when you first meet someone.”

Roger chimed in with future plans, saying: “We’ll probably move in together at some point but, right now, the dynamic is working for us, especially while our family is spread across different locations.”

Elliott and Sharon

Meanwhile, Elliott and Sharon emerged as another success story from My Mum, Your Dad, leaving the retreat hand in hand. The connection between Elliott, who joined MMYD alongside his son Zachary, and Sharon, who brought her daughter Tia, has only grown stronger.

They’d been enjoying days out and flaunting their blossoming relationship on Instagram, much to the delight of fans who are cheering on their love.

Reports swirled in November about Elliott Wright and Sharon’s relationship ending. The couple stayed mum on the rumours then, but it seems the love waned due to the miles between them with Sharon being anchored in Sunderland and Elliott in Essex.

Single life seems to suit Sharon well as she’s amping up her Insta game. The mother of two dishes out style cues along with beauty and skincare secrets to her growing list of followers.

On the flip side, Elliott’s diving into his podcasting gig. His show, Fifty Shades and Grey, stirs up chats about romance and more with various guests.

Natalie and Paul

Regarding Natalie and Paul, whose sparks flew during ‘My Mum, Your Dad’, reality hit hard post-show. After the series wrapped, they went public about going separate ways post a summer fling.

Taking to social media, Natalie and Paul expressed gratitude, penning: “Firstly just wanted to say thank you for the overwhelming support from everyone who has watched the show and how invested you have been with our journey. It was an incredible experience and one that we will be forever grateful for taking part in.

“Nat and I had an incredible experience in the retreat and loved every moment, we continued that connection over the summer and had some great times together. Unfortunately in early August we decided to call a day on the relationship. We are both still friends and wish each other the best. Thank you for your continued support and we’re very thankful to @davinamccall @itv @mymumyourdaduk for all we gained from the experience.”

Natalie appears to still be single, focusing on her career by assisting others with ‘relationship recovery’, helping them to ‘heal from trauma and toxic relationships’.

Meanwhile, Paul seems to be enjoying the single life, keeping his followers in the loop with regular updates on his Instagram about his life and work.

Monique

After sparking a romance with Martin M on My Mum, Your Dad, Monique found herself doubting his sincerity post a revealing chat with her daughter Taiya in the show’s finale. She ultimately decided to break it off with Martin, feeling they weren’t a good match.

Post-show, Monique has taken on the role of ambassador for Ourtime UK, a dating service catering to the over-50 crowd. In a joyous turn of events, she also embraced the role of grandmother when her daughter Taiya gave birth to a little girl named Alora in September 2023.

Speaking to OK! about her experience on the show, Monique said: “I’m more confident since I’ve been on the show because I was stuck at home for a very long time with grief, so I just kind of gave up on dating because I thought ‘I’m tired, I don’t want to do it’. But going on the show just gave me the confidence.

“I think everybody should get out of their little comfortable box and get out there because you’ve got one life, one chance so give it a go. I thought if I can get on the show and do what I did, after not seeing the light of day for how many years, I’ve been single for six years. I was on my own for quite a long time.”

Martin M

Martin M found himself in hot water during his stint on MMYD due to a love triangle involving Monique and Tolullah. He wavered between the two women before finally choosing to explore a relationship with Monique, only for her to call it quits in the finale.

Post-show, Martin M shared with his followers: “#MyMumYourDadUK was an emotional rollercoaster but every day is a learning day and no matter what gets thrown at you it’s important to bounce back stronger and grow as a person. Thanks for all your messages.”

The father of two returned to his life in Ibiza with his sons after the series ended. While he appears to be living the single life, he’s making the most of it by partying on the White Isle and travelling, having recently visited Germany for the Euros.

Tolullah

Tollulah was caught in a tricky love triangle with Martin M and Monique on My Mum, Your Dad, and unfortunately, her romance fizzled out when Martin chose Monique over her.

But life after the show has been sweet for Tollulah; she recently threw an epic catch-up party for her fellow cast mates, showing off the strong bonds formed on the series. Her Instagram is buzzing with lively updates and clips for her growing fan base.

Despite her romantic fling with Martin not working out, they’ve managed to stay chums post-show. Last year, Martin even played host to Tollulah in Ibiza, where they shared joyful snaps with their followers online.

Caroline

Meanwhile, Caroline didn’t strike a love connection on My Mum, Your Dad, but she did strike gold in the friendship department. Clayton and she went on a trio of dates during the show but hit it off better as mates.

Caroline and Clayton’s friendship has blossomed; they’ve stuck together since their days on the show, chatting every single day through FaceTime. Caroline spilled the beans about their close kinship to Big Brother alumni Simon Gross, revealing: “I had a third date with Clayton and we had an absolute ball and that date was actually a catalyst for a really great friendship. Clayton and I FaceTime literally every day.”

She added, with a hint of affection, “We got on so well. There’s nothing romantic, between me and Clayton but Clayton’s more my type, than I’m Clayton’s type.”

Martin H

And let’s not forget Martin H, another memorable face from My Mum, Your Dad, whose own story surely captivated viewers too.

My Mum, Your Dad’s Martin H won over the hearts of viewers during his stint on the show, but unfortunately didn’t find lasting love. He was romantically linked to Tollulah on the programme, but their relationship didn’t stand the test of time.

Following the airing of the show, Martin reached out to fans with a heartfelt message, expressing gratitude for their support and revealing that he had been flooded with date offers. He stated: “My experience has only just begun” and added: “I am particularly touched to hear from those who have found inspiration from my journey, and feel motivated to make some positive changes in their own lives. We are on this journey together! I was just as terrified as I was excited, to be in a situation where I was confronted with my insecurities and lack of confidence.”

Since his appearance on MMYD, Martin has kept a low profile on social media, with his last post dating back to October 2023. However, it’s clear he’s keeping busy with his roles as a sports commentator and managing director of media distributor A Tall Order.

Clayton

As for Clayton, he didn’t manage to form a connection with anyone on My Mum, Your dad and was eventually voted off by the children. It appears he’s still single, but he continues to keep fans updated via Instagram.

Clayton (

Clayton, who works as the creative director of Congo Sales and is also a youth life coach, revealed in June that he has a song due to be released on Spotify soon. He also recently shared that he’s ready to jump back into the dating pool, telling followers: “Open to dating again and it’s exciting to see who comes along?”

ITV bosses are said to have called a crisis meeting with its four flagship daytime shows following a huge slump in viewers that’s causing the broadcaster to take drastic measures

Loose Women, Good Morning Britain, This Morning and Lorraine are facing crisis talks as they are hit with a huge slump in viewers.

The daytime shows are facing pay freezes and job losses as ITV bosses try to offset the financial damage caused by a ratings dip. The broadcaster is said to have taken drastic measures as a way to cut costs on some of its biggest shows. It has been reported shorter three-month contracts could be favoured instead of long term deals for staff, while freelances could be cut.

Their annual ITV summer do, which sees the networks biggest stars come together to let their hair down could also be axed. Meetings have reportedly been held by ITV’s daytime boss Emma Gormley to break the news affecting its four flagship shows. Loose Women, Good Morning Britain, This Morning and Lorraine staff are said to have been shown a graph detailing their rapid decline in ratings.

It was compared to the huge viewing figures streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. As reported by The Sun, a source said: “ITV is really tightening their belt. There have been concerns for months at the top but now that it’s trickled down to the shop floor it feels very depressing. A lot of staff are being put on three-month contracts, probably so they can get rid of people easily.”

They claimed pay freezes are already in place and that ITV are trying to keep costs down by “not trialling new talent on regular segments”. It has been reported bosses are hoping ratings will pick up during the UK election campaign. The source added the news is “particularly difficult to stomach” following the costly This Morning relaunch.

An ITV spokesperson told the Mirror: “Town hall meetings happen frequently for teams to keep up to date with company news and also serve as an opportunity for staff to have questions answered. The latest one was to celebrate the success of Lorraine Kelly receiving a BAFTA Special Recognition Award and the two BAFTA nominations for Daytime last weekend. It was also a transparent portrayal of what is currently happening across the industry.”

 

Brooklyn Beckham was teased by younger brother Cruz as he posted his latest cooking tutorial to Instagram on Thursday.

The amateur chef, 25, posed with beloved dog Lamb while stood at the stove and spoke to the camera to explain he was rustling up risotto.

Taking to the comments section Cruz, 19, joked: ‘For a minute I thought you were going to cook dog risotto xx looks brilliant’.

The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, went on to skilfully chop onions and garlic before frying  scallops to accompany the dish.

Cutting a casual figure with his baseball cap backwards he later down sat to enjoy the meal giving his thumbs up to the camera.

Earlier this year Brooklyn impressed Michelin star chef Gordon Ramsay as he made a beef wellington with a fillet estimated to be around £120. 

He enlisted his Cruz as his sous chef and spared no expense when it came to ingredients for the Instagram tutorial.

After searing the expensive joint of beef fillet, Brooklyn turned to making the mushroom sauce where he generously poured in a glug of $44 Woodinville Bourbon whisky.

He slathered the beef with mustard and wrapped it up in a layer of mushroom pate and parma ham, before Cruz helped wrap it in pastry and add an egg-wash glaze.

A top London butcher told MailOnline: ‘Looking at the piece Brooklyn is cooking with here, I’d guess it’d be around 1.2 kilos of very good beef.

‘Beef fillet is about the most expensive ingredient on the butcher’s counter. This isn’t quite a whole fillet but for a good piece of grass-fed and probably organic beef of that size I’d guess he’d have spent around £120.’

Proud dad David wrote in the comments: ‘So so good boys love u both’ (sic), while Cruz was so pleased, he wrote: ‘Brooklyn and I are opening a beef wellington only shop’.

 And Brooklyn even received rare praise from Gordon, 57, who has eight Michelin stars, and is known for his blunt and critical remarks.

Gordon wrote in the comments: ‘That looks great @brooklynbeckham’.

It’s no surprise the TV chef approves of Brooklyn’s recipe as he taught the youngster how to cook a beef wellington.

He said in an interview back in 2015: ‘I actually really enjoy cooking. Gordon Ramsay taught me how to do a great beef wellington.’

Another said: ‘ok we’ve stepped up from the humble cold sandwich – not sure whether someone is helping outside the edit but it looks good we have to give him that’.

When Brooklyn made his TV cooking debut back in 2021, he was ridiculed for making a sandwich.

He baffled Today show viewers with his English breakfast sandwich, a dish that he ‘learned from his great-grandma’.

However, Gordon applauded Brooklyn on his efforts.

Brooklyn’s cooking has come under fire in the past as many have slammed either his simple recipes, use of pricey ingredients or bandied around accusations of nepotism.

In a recent interview with Insider, he insisted he is not fazed by the criticism as he knows himself he is ‘working his bum off’ and ‘cooking makes him happy’.

He said: ‘To be honest, I’m used to the hate. It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me… I’m doing my thing and working my bum off’.

Speaking to the publication, Brooklyn said: ‘To be honest, I’m used to the hate. It doesn’t really bother me. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying a little bit of rubbish about me…

‘My message to them is to keep writing whatever they want to write. There are always going to be people out there who try and pull you down.

‘I’m doing my thing and working my bum off. So they can keep writing what they want, but it’s not going to bother me — I’m just going to keep doing my thing’.

Their £1million union was splashed across the pages of OK! magazine and was described as the ‘wedding of the decade’ after it outshone the nuptials of Prince Edward and his bride Sophie Rhys-Jones.

Now, as David and Victoria Beckham celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, it has emerged that Buckingham Palace was inundated with letters for Posh and Becks after they moved into their first marital home.

According to the Spice Girls‘ publicist Alan Edwards, the Royal Mail confused the Beckhams’ love nest Rowneybury – their mansion on the border of Hertfordshire and Essex that was dubbed ‘Beckingham Palace’ – with the monarch’s official London home.  

Reflecting on their wedding ceremony ahead of today’s anniversary, he told The Sun: ‘This was a worldwide publicity event, and we knew the interest was akin to that around a royal wedding.

‘In fact, we’d had a complaint from Buckingham Palace saying that they kept getting letters addressed to David and Victoria at Beckingham Palace!’

The marriage even hit the radar of the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh: they refused to sit on thrones during the 2012 Jubilee River Pageant in case they looked like the Beckhams, who famously posed on thrones during their 1999 wedding.

When asked why the couple hadn’t sat on the red velvet chairs on the Royal barge, Prince Philip told close friend Gyles Brandreth: ‘Well we’d have looked like Mr and Mrs Beckham, wouldn’t we?’

According to the Spice Girls ‘ publicist Alan Edwards, the Royal Mail confused their love nest Rowneybury (above) – their mansion on the border of Hertfordshire and Essex that was dubbed ‘Beckingham Palace’ – with the monarch’s official London home

The Beckhams, who have four children, have mixed in royal circles for more than two decades – since Victoria was a Spice Girl and David was a high-flying footballer.

In 1997, after the death of Princess Diana, Victoria and her fellow Spice Girls joined the then Prince Charles and a star-struck Harry on a royal tour of South Africa to perform a charity concert.

The singer-turned-designer, who gave an interview to The Spectator magazine in which she aired her love of the monarchy, also met the Queen at a Royal Variety show the same year.

And, two years later, she met the Duchess of York when Fergie took Beatrice, then 11, and Eugenie, nine to watch a Spice Girls concert.

At the turn of the century, there were another Royal meet and greet at the Party in the Park, in aid of The Prince’s Trust, when Prince Charles met the couple afterwards.

And, in 2002, at the opening of the Commonwealth Games, David, who was England football captain, handed the baton to the Queen.

Their friendship with the Cambridges began when David, then playing for US team LA Galaxy, was part of the team bidding to host the World Cup.

He travelled with Princes William and Harry to meet FIFA officials in 2010 and, although the bid was unsuccessful, it cemented a friendship with William, who was and remains President of the FA.

The couple went onto be invited to the 2011 wedding of William and Kate, but David made a social faux pas when he wore his OBE on his right lapel rather than his left.

‘We had to pinch ourselves when we got the invite,’ he said afterwards.

‘I’ve become friends with Prince William and Harry as well.

‘We was (sic) brought up to love the Royal Family and when Princess Di was around, the love for her was incredible. The Royal Wedding gave our country a huge lift.’

During Britain’s Olympic year, in 2012, David even teamed up with the Duchess of Cambridge to present the BBC Sports Personality of the Year to cyclist Bradley Wiggins.

But it was their friendship with Fergie and Andrew which caused a real furore.

Having been invited to a tea party at Buckingham Palace for daughter Harper’s sixth birthday in 2017, David posted a photograph on Instagram of the youngster in a Princess Elsa costume from the film Frozen.

Posed in the Palace’s front quadrangle, where photographs are banned, a Palace insider described it as a ‘serious breach of protocol’ and the then Prince Charles was deemed to be ‘seismic with rage’.

However, Charles clearly did not hold a grudge, for he recently appointed Beckham as an ambassador for his charity the King’s Foundation.

The King gave Beckham a tour of his beloved Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, where the pair swapped beekeeping tips.

The move increased speculation that Beckham’s long-held dream of a knighthood might soon be a reality.

OMG | Amid Meghan Markle’s ‘horrifying’ scandal, everyone laughed out loud because what Meghan is suffering is a ‘self-slap’ for what she imposed on Princess Kate…

 

Meghan Markle seems to be trying to mend her broken relationship with Princess Kate, with one royal expert claiming she has “reached out several times”.

 

The Princess of Wales has been caught up in a Photoshop scandal after fans spotted “errors” with a sweet family snap she released on Mother’s Day. Kate smiled alongside her three children in the picture, but fans were convinced it had been altered and rushed to social media to share their theories.

Princess Kate then admitted to editing the snap and apologised for causing any “confusion”. Now, royal author Tom Quinn has said Meghan is using the chaos as her chance to reach out to Kate.

He told The Mirror: “Meghan has reached out several times via back channels to Kensington Palace in an attempt to see if there is any chance of getting on better terms with Kate. This is definitely partly because Meghan is genuinely worried about Kate’s health, but she also sees a chance to lose her permanently angry-at-the-royals image.”

However, it’s unclear whether Meghan’s attempts at a reunion will pay off. Tom explained: “Kate won’t want to be seen to rebuff these overtures, but she will be taking advice and the advice so far, I hear, is definitely – don’t take the risk.

“The feeling in Kensington Palace is that if Meghan’s attempts to extend an olive branch are welcomed, it will just re-open old wounds.” His comments come after another expert urged Meghan to speak out in defence of her sister-in-law.

Meghan Markle caught in major ‘snub’ after secret change on Archie’s birth certificate

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry once made an “unprecedented” move regarding their son, Prince Archie’s birth certificate which was dubbed as a major “snub” to the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The Duchess of Sussex altered Archie’s birth certificate just days after his birth was officially registered.

According to the Sun, the birth certificate was altered to show his mother as “Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex” instead of the original “Rachel Meghan”.

Harry and Meghan’s eldest child was born on May 6, 2019, with his birth registered 11 days later before the amendment was made on June 5.

The outlet at the time reported that this was a “snub” to Prince William and Princess Kate, who used Kate’s names on their children’s certificates.

It also suggested the intention was to place Meghan on an equal footing with Prince Harry’s mother Princess Diana, who would always use “Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales”.

However, a spokesman for the Sussexes insisted that the move was “dictated by The Palace” and not “requested” by Meghan nor Harry.

Just days after the change, Harry and Meghan left the Royal Foundation – the so-called Fab Four’s joint charity – and months later they quit their royal duties and moved to the US.

Meanwhile, Lady Colin Campbell, who spotted the amendment, said: “It is extraordinary and raises all kinds of questions about what the Sussexes were thinking.”
