Meghan Markle is “pushing for an apology” from the royal family before she agrees to visit the UK, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly declined a rumored invitation to Prince Harry’s home soil next month after it was suggested that they bring their children with them.

The “Suits” alum, 42, has had a strained relationship with several senior members of her husband’s family, and even documented the hardships in several lucrative projects over the last few years.

Amid reports that Harry is reportedly planning to “reconcile” with his family during an upcoming trip to London, royal experts have suggested that peace between both camps is unlikely to happen until Markle receives an apology from the Firm.

Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths said that the royals have “given up” on issuing any sort of apology to the mom of two.

“I think that she is pushing for an apology,” Griffiths told GB News. “She’s been pushing for that for quite a long time, although there have been reports from the Sussex camp that she has sort of given up on an apology.”

“I don’t think that she is actually blocking him from seeing his family though; we know that he came to see his dad when his dad was ill, and we know that he is coming over again in May,” she added.

Elsewhere, royal author Tom Quinn told the Mirror, “Harry would like a reconciliation, but supports his wife completely, and until she feels that the royal family have been sufficiently nice to her — and grovelingly apologized for the past — it’s not going to happen.”

“There has been a shift here since Kate’s illness. Harry and Meghan do feel they need to extend an olive branch, but Meghan’s sense of grievance is still preventing anything really meaningful happening,” Quinn continued.

“Illness often brings warring family members together,” Quinn said. “And there have been hopes at Kensington Palace that Kate’s illness might do it.”

Markle last returned to England for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral service in September 2022.

Harry and Markle did not bring their children with them over safety concerns, as the Sussexes were stripped of taxpayer-funded UK security protection.

This means the pair will pay out of pocket for their security when back on Harry’s home soil.

Meghan Markle branded ‘cheap, vulgar and irresponsible’ by outspoken Lady Colin Campbell, who says ‘she was never an A-lister so needs to stop acting like one’

LADY Colin Campbell has branded Meghan Markle “cheap and vulgar” in an explosive new interview.

Speaking to Closer magazine she said: “She was never an A-lister, so she needs to stop acting like one.

“Royalty do not behave like celebrities do. It’s cheap, vulgar and irresponsible.”

The royal writer went on to say that Meghan was “letting down” those who admire her by behaving this way.

This is not the first time that Lady Colin has warned the Duchess of Sussex of being wary of her behaviour.

In April she advised that Meghan should avoid becoming a “political activist” as the “royals must represent all of the people” and she should know when “keep her mouth shut”.

Lady Colin added: “There are many conservative people, all over the world, many religious people, who do not have these ‘woke’ and ‘right-on’ views.”

It comes as Meghan was revealed as guest-editor of British Vogue’s September issue.

The project saw the Duchess of Sussex select 15 women to be featured on the cover, choosing not to star herself, whom she hails “forces for change.”

The magazine has sparked a storm of protest, with critics reminding Meghan that royals must remain neutral at all times.

Meghan has since been criticsed for the “leftie” cover by Leo McKinstry who, similarly to Lady Colin, warns Meghan must stay out of politics like Kate.

Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe said: “Royals have not only got to keep out of politics but they have got to be seen to keep out of politics.”

Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, said: “The Duchess of Sussex has done a huge favour for the House of Conde Naste (Vogue’s publisher) and rather less for the House of Windsor.”

Piers Morgan attacks Meghan Markle’s ‘downright lies’ in new interview

Piers Morgan is set to attack Meghan Markle’s “downright lies” in an upcoming interview with Australia’s “60 Minutes.”

The former “Good Morning Britain” anchor sat down with journalist Karl Stefanovic to discuss his war on cancel culture as well as his ongoing battle with the Duchess of Sussex, with whom he’s been fighting since she allegedly ghosted him and their friendship.

“I don’t believe a word she says,” Morgan, 56, said of Markle, 39, in a sneak peek at Sunday’s episode.

Looking back on the “Suits” alum’s since-refuted claim that she and Harry, 36, had secretly married days before their royal wedding in May 2018, Morgan added, “They were downright lies. … That [ceremony] would make the Archbishop of Canterbury a criminal.”

It’s ironic that Morgan sat down with Stefanovic, as the Nine Network presenter, 46, has been one of Markle’s staunchest defenders. Stefanovic also once called Morgan “disgraceful.”

In the clip from their interview, the TV personalities butted heads after Morgan claimed that Markle was pretending to be in love with Harry.

“I’ve got something to say about that,” Stefanovic replied. “I think that’s disgraceful. I think she is an amazing, amazing woman. I think she is doing her very best at the moment, and she’s got a lot on her plate. She’s doing it so beautifully. She’s such a great export for Great Britain.”

Turning his ire on Morgan, Stefanovic added, “I mean, what is that guy on? He’s lost the plot completely.

“I don’t know how his poor co-host puts up with it. Imagine putting up with a dude like that who is so up himself and so egotistical that he would assume to say those things about her?”

Morgan quit “Good Morning Britain” in March after he stormed off the set during a heated discussion about Markle and Harry.

In Stevanovic’s forthcoming interview with Morgan, he dubs his fellow journalist “an angry old man.”

“Freedom of speech is actually more important than the Meghan Markle debacle,” Morgan responded. “Who are these ‘woke’ people marching around like they are Kim Jong Un with a dash of Vladimir Putin?

“Come on, everybody, take a chill pill.”

John Lennon’s son, Sean Ono Lennon, recently made headlines with his candid review of Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare.” The musician didn’t hold back, summing up his thoughts in just two words: “Spare Me.” But this straightforward critique sparked a flurry of reactions and even death threats directed at Sean.

The Review

Sean Ono Lennon took to social media to share his “long-awaited” review of Prince Harry’s autobiography. In a cheeky jab, he dismissed the memoir with the succinct phrase, “Spare Me.” The Duke of Sussex’s book, which hit the stands in early 2023, apparently didn’t impress Lennon.

The Backlash

Predictably, Sean faced backlash for his candid remarks. However, he stood his ground, even when confronted with death threats. He justified his criticism by calling Prince Harry an “idiot” and suggesting that both of them deserved to be mocked. Sean’s unfiltered honesty didn’t sit well with everyone, but he remained steadfast.

Shared Experiences

Interestingly, both Sean Ono Lennon and Prince Harry share common experiences. They are both children of incredibly famous parents who died tragically. Sean lost his father, John Lennon, when he was just 5 years old, while Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, died in a car crash when he was 12. Despite this empathy, Sean didn’t mince words when it came to the memoir.

John Lennon‘s son Sean Ono Lennon has gone on an online rant against Prince Harry, calling him an ‘idiot’ who deserves to be mocked.

Sean, 48, sparked fury among the royal’s fans when he posted a joke about his book Spare, writing: ‘My long awaited review of Prince Harry’s autobiography is two words. “Spare Me.”‘

While the musician insisted he was just making a pun out of the book’s title, he doubled down on his criticism of Harry as he was slammed on X, formerly known as Twitter.

As people pointed out that Sean and Harry have a lot in common, including the fact that both tragically lost famous parents at a young age, Sean recalled meeting princess Diana‘s younger son.

Sean replied: ‘Actually I am aware [that we have things in common]. We met once. That was before I realized he was an idiot.’

Sean seemed to particularly be offended by Harry sharing in his book that he treated his frostbitten penis – which he called his ‘todger’ – with his late mother’s favorite lip cream

The Oscar-winner seemed to particularly be offended by Harry sharing in his book that he treated his frostbitten penis – which he called his ‘todger’ – with his late mother’s favorite lip cream.

‘It was a pun,’ Sean said of his initially post. ‘But he deserves to be mocked after that todger episode. He’ll be fine.’

As social media users continued supporting Harry, mentioning the tragedies he has been through, Sean stood by his decision to mock the royal.

Sean said of Harry’s past: ‘That is very sad. I don’t hold any of that against him.

‘It’s the stupidity that bothers me.’

He added: ‘Just because I made a joke does not mean I don’t empathize with him. I do actually.

‘Also why I’m very disappointed with his outlook. I was hoping he’d be smarter.’

In another reply, Sean said: ‘I do empathize with him generally. But the way he whines and wangs on about things is really too much.

‘I’m just having a little fun. I think he’s earned some mockery. (I’m sure I have as well).’

Sean also replied to a Harry fan who defended him by suggesting that Sean was jealous of the Prince being a best-selling author

‘I mean, I don’t care but I did win an Oscar this year so…I think I’m doing okay,’ he said.

The artist seemed to have a good attitude about the backlash from Harry’s fans, concluding: ‘People are coming after me because I made a joke about the title of Harry’s book.

‘It’s pretty great.’

Sean won an Oscar in March for Best Animated Short Film for War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko.

Lennon co-wrote the film with director Dave Mullins.

It came after the Duke of Sussex’s controversial memoir became the UK’s fastest-selling non-fiction book ever after being published by Penguin Random House in January 2023.

Harry was understood to have clinched a $20million advance as part of a $40million four-book deal in June 2021 following a bidding war.

The 39-year-old royal’s headline-grabbing book saw him accuse his brother Prince William of pushing him into a dog bowl in a row over his wife Meghan Markle.

It also claimed William teased Harry about his panic attacks, that King Charles put his own interests above his second son and saw Harry reference taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms and his enjoyment of the TV show Friends.

Harry used the tell-all book to make various claims about his family including that William called Meghan ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ and ‘abrasive’, and that Charles refused to allow Meghan to join Harry in Scotland as the late Queen was dying.

Royal dynamics have long been a subject of fascination and speculation, with recent comments from royal author Ingrid Seward shedding light on the complexities within the House of Windsor. Seward’s remarks suggest that Meghan Markle harbored envy towards Princess Kate due to Prince Harry’s adoration for her. Furthermore, revelations indicate Meghan’s unrealized aspirations of becoming a princess and residing in Windsor Castle.

Meghan’s Alleged Envy

Ingrid Seward’s insights into Meghan Markle’s sentiments towards Princess Kate unveil a narrative of envy within royal circles. Seward suggests that Meghan may have felt overshadowed by Prince Harry’s admiration for Kate, potentially leading to feelings of inadequacy or rivalry

She told the Telegraph Prince Harry and Princess Kate shared a close bond before meeting former Suits actress Meghan.

The writer told the publication: “Psychologically I think he just adored her and he was always there, at Kensington Palace…

“I think Meghan must have been incredibly envious and then jealous of Kate. I heard Meghan actually thought she was going to be a princess and live in Windsor Castle.”

Unrealized Fairy Tale Dreams

Meghan Markle’s entry into the royal family was accompanied by widespread fascination and anticipation of a modern fairy tale. However, according to Seward’s revelations, Meghan’s expectations of becoming a princess and residing in Windsor Castle may have been far from reality. This disparity between fantasy and actuality raises questions about Meghan’s experiences and perceptions within the royal institution.

Navigating Royal Expectations

The complexities of royal life often entail navigating intricate expectations and responsibilities. Meghan Markle’s journey as a member of the royal family was met with intense scrutiny and speculation, with her experiences highlighting the challenges of reconciling personal aspirations with the demands of royal duty.

Impact on Royal Dynamics

The revelations surrounding Meghan’s alleged envy towards Princess Kate and her unrealized fairy tale dreams provide insight into the dynamics within the House of Windsor. Such sentiments, if true, may have contributed to tensions or strains within the royal family, underscoring the complexities of navigating relationships and expectations on the global stage.

In a poignant and emotional interview in the latest episodes of the Netflix series “Harry & Meghan,” Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle’s mother, opened up about the heart-wrenching moment when her daughter confided in her about experiencing suicidal thoughts. This candid revelation sheds light on the intense scrutiny and relentless media attacks that the Duchess of Sussex faced during her time in the royal spotlight.

 

The Emotional Confession

Doria Ragland, 66, visibly moved, recounted the painful memory of her daughter, Meghan Markle, disclosing her suicidal ideation. “She had wanted to take her own life,” Ragland recalled, her voice trembling with emotion. “That really broke my heart because I knew that it was bad. … That’s not an easy one for a mom to hear.”

This moment of vulnerability was a stark reminder of the immense pressures and emotional turmoil that Markle endured. Ragland’s tearful account highlighted the depth of a mother’s anguish upon hearing that her child had been pushed to such a desperate point.

The Inescapable Media Frenzy

Throughout her relationship with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle faced relentless media scrutiny and public vitriol. Ragland described the experience as akin to “vultures just picking away at her spirit,” a powerful metaphor illustrating the constant barrage of negative attention and invasive press coverage.

Despite the unwavering support from her mother and husband, both felt powerless to shield Markle from the damaging effects of the media’s relentless pursuit. This sense of helplessness was echoed by Prince Harry, who admitted in the series that he struggled to provide the support his wife desperately needed.

Meghan’s Struggle and Cry for Help

Meghan Markle’s struggles became a global talking point following her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021. During that interview, Markle revealed the harrowing extent of her mental health crisis, confessing, “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore.” This stark admission resonated with many, highlighting the severe impact of unchecked media harassment and institutional pressures.

 

The Duchess of Sussex detailed a specific incident from January 2019, while she was pregnant with their son, Archie. On the verge of attending an event at the Royal Albert Hall, Markle expressed her fear to Prince Harry, saying she couldn’t “be left alone.” The couple’s mutual grip on each other’s hands during that event, with their knuckles turning white, became a poignant symbol of their shared struggle to maintain composure under the public eye.

Prince Harry’s Regret and Reflection

In “Harry & Meghan,” Prince Harry, 38, candidly reflected on his own response to Markle’s revelation of her suicidal thoughts. “I didn’t deal with it particularly well,” he admitted. “What she needed from me was so much more than I was able to give.” His words conveyed a deep sense of regret and self-reproach for not being able to offer the emotional support that Markle needed during such a critical time.

The Constraints of the Royal Institution

One of the most shocking aspects of Markle’s revelation was the lack of support she received from the royal institution. When she sought help for her mental health struggles, she was reportedly told that seeking professional assistance would reflect poorly on the monarchy. This refusal underscored the rigid and often unfeeling nature of the institution, prioritizing public image over individual well-being.

Markle’s plea for help and subsequent denial was a turning point, highlighting the inadequacies and limitations of the royal support system. It also emphasized the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health, even within such a high-profile family.

A New Beginning

The couple’s decision to step back from their royal duties and relocate to Montecito, California, in January 2020 marked a new chapter in their lives. Away from the intense scrutiny of the British tabloids, Harry and Meghan sought a more private and peaceful existence for themselves and their growing family. Now, they live with their two children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, in a more serene environment.

Raising Awareness and Seeking Help

Meghan Markle’s candid discussion about her mental health struggles has had a profound impact, raising awareness about the importance of mental health and the devastating effects of media harassment. Her bravery in speaking out has encouraged others to share their own experiences and seek help.

Doria Ragland’s tearful interview serves as a powerful reminder of the personal toll that public life can take on individuals and their families. It underscores the need for greater compassion, understanding, and support for those struggling with mental health issues.

Conclusion

The latest episodes of “Harry & Meghan” provide a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the emotional challenges faced by Meghan Markle and her family. Doria Ragland’s heartfelt testimony highlights the depth of a mother’s love and the pain of witnessing her child suffer. It also serves as a call to action for greater empathy and support for mental health, both within the confines of public life and beyond.

As Meghan Markle continues to navigate her path forward, her story stands as a testament to resilience and the power of speaking out against injustice. Her journey, alongside Prince Harry and their children, is a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming adversity, it is possible to find strength, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose.

EXCLUSIVE: Princess Beatrice is trying to see if her stepson Wolfie might be able to join her later this month, but it looks as if he will spend his entire summer holiday in America with his mother Dara Huang.

Princess Beatrice and her husband Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi are expected at the Royal Family gathering at Balmoral later this month but are said to be disappointed that they might not be able to bring their stepson Wolfie with them.

A well-placed source reveals that Bea’s 8-year-old stepson Christopher ‘Wolfie’ Mapelli Mozzi is currently on holiday in America with his mother Dara Huang and her family and is unlikely to join them this summer.

“Dara has taken Wolfie with her to the United States for an extended summer holiday,” said the source.

“They will visit her family in Florida and make their way to the lakes in Wisconsin before returning to the UK later this month.

“Beatrice and Edo would have loved to have taken him [Wolfie] with them on their holiday but they understand that Dara also has her time with him.

“They are trying to see if he might be able to join them very late this month, but it looks as if he will spend his entire summer in America which is disappointing.

“That’s what happens with blended families but they seem to navigate it very well. They all get on like a house on fire with a bit of push and pull over dates sometimes.”

Dara, 41, is a well known and respected architect who dated Eduardo for several years before they parted ways and he started dating Princess Beatrice.

Dara was educated at the University of Florida and her parents still live in the United States to this day.

“Dara also took Wolfie to see her parents over Christmas time,” said the source.

“She took him on a Disney cruise and to see her parents. She always makes sure that Wofie keeps in touch with his family abroad. She’s a good mum and likes to keep him grounded.”

The last time Wolfie was seen in public was when he joined the Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey in December with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. He proudly walked hand-in-hand with Princess Beatrice into Westminster Abbey.

Beatrice has previously described Wolfie as a ‘bonus child’ while Sarah Ferguson refers to him as her grandson.

Buckingham Palace has been approached for comment.

Prince Harry’s Frustration Over Meghan Markle’s Absence from Tyler Perry’s Latest Project Sparks Controversy

In the ever-evolving landscape of Hollywood, where fortunes can shift with the blink of an eye, Prince Harry has reportedly voiced his dissatisfaction over Meghan Markle’s exclusion from Tyler Perry’s latest Netflix venture, “Straw.”

 

 

The project, boasting a stellar cast including Tajji P. Henson, Sherri Shepherd, and Tiana Taylor, promises an emotionally gripping narrative revolving around a single mother grappling with adversity. However, Meghan’s noticeable absence from the cast has sparked speculation and raised eyebrows regarding her Hollywood trajectory following her departure from royal duties.

Despite Meghan’s return to acting and her association with the prestigious agency WME, she has yet to secure roles in Perry’s Netflix productions, including “Straw.” This absence has cast doubt on her acting abilities, particularly when compared to the talent Perry has assembled for the project.

Critics have pointed out that Meghan may lack the depth required for emotionally charged narratives like those in Perry’s repertoire, citing her previous role in “Suits” as insufficient preparation for such demanding roles. This scrutiny underscores the harsh realities of Hollywood, where talent alone may not guarantee success in securing coveted roles.

Adding fuel to the fire are rumors circulating about Meghan’s representation, with speculation rife about a potential split with WME. This uncertainty further clouds her professional prospects and highlights the challenges she faces in navigating the fiercely competitive entertainment industry.

 

 

For Meghan, whose public image is closely intertwined with her acting career and philanthropic endeavors, the stakes are undeniably high. Failing to establish herself as a credible actress could have ramifications for her broader ambitions in the entertainment world and beyond.

 

Tyler Perry, known for his commitment to diverse storytelling, still has six more films to deliver under his Netflix deal. While Meghan’s absence from “Straw” is glaring, it leaves the door open for potential collaborations in the future. However, her journey from royal family member to Hollywood hopeful has been fraught with complexities, showcasing the arduous task of navigating the entertainment industry’s landscape.

 

As Meghan charts her course forward, she grapples with the realities of Hollywood’s casting dynamics, where talent, timing, and luck all play pivotal roles in shaping one’s career trajectory. Whether she can overcome these obstacles and carve out a successful acting career remains uncertain, leaving both fans and critics eagerly awaiting her next move.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to take ‘Charming Just Arrived Third Child’ on next trip, because Meghan thinks it will attract…

London, UK — Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced plans to bring their “charming just arrived third child” on their next trip.

 

Meghan believes that including their newest family member will attract positive attention and goodwill during their travels.

Meghan Markle is celebrating her 43rd birthday today, August 4 and Express.co.uk takes a look at some of her best moments over the years.

Meghan Markle is celebrating her 43rd birthday today, with the former working royal likely marking the day with Prince Harry and their two children in California.

Born on August 4, 1981, Meghan was the youngest of three – having two elder half-siblings, Thomas Markle Jr and Samantha Markle.

She is the only child of Doria Ragland, while Thomas Markle Sr is father to her half-siblings.

Her parents split up when she was just six years old and, although now estranged from her father, Meghan has remained close to her mother.

In light of the Duchess of Sussex’s big day, Express.co.uk looks at 11 incredible pictures of her – from an acting star to an adoring mother of two.

When Meghan was just 11 years old, she wrote to Procter & Gamble, asking them to change a dishwashing soap advert that was targeted exclusively at women. The aspiring actress asked them to change their advert from “women” to “people”. She attended Immaculate Heart from the ages of 12 to 17, a time where she felt like an “ugly duckling” and a “smart one” – rather than “conventionally beautiful”.

The 43-year-old then went on to study theatre and international relations at Northwestern University School of Communication, Illinois. Prior to her first big acting role in US drama Suits, Meghan had minor roles in a few TV shows and independent films. She also worked briefly as a briefcase girl on Deal or No Deal. Meghan started as Rachel Zane on Suits between 2011 and 2017. The former working royal also ran a lifestyle blog, The Tig, between 2014 and 2017.

Prior to her marriage to Prince Harry, whom she met in 2016, Meghan was married to film producer and actor Trevor Engelson for two years. Meghan and Harry met via a mutual friend, having their first date whilst the Duchess was visiting London. For their third date, the couple headed to Botswana and camped under the stars. The couple made their first public appearance at the Invictus Games in Canada in September 2017.

Speaking in their official engagement interview, Harry detailed their relationship as “perfect”, while the former actress referred to their courtship as “authentic and organic”. Discussing the moment Harry proposed, Meghan said: “[It was an] amazing surprise, it was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee.”

Meghan revealed in their engagement interview that she knew very little – if anything – about Harry prior to meeting him. She said: “It was really refreshing because given that I didn’t know a lot about him. Everything that I’ve learned about him, I learned through him…” Upon being asked about her career, the interviewer asked if she was “giving up” her career, to which she said: “I don’t see it as giving anything up, I just see it as a change.”
