Meghan Markle’s recent actions involving Prince George and Catherine. What Meghan did was truly appalling, but it’s consistent with her character. Catherine recently shared a beautiful photo of Prince George for his birthday. Isn’t it a lovely picture? Catherine has a real talent for photography, and Meghan seems to be quite envious of that.

Why else would Meghan attempt to overshadow the release of this photo if not out of jealousy? It’s frustrating to see her actions, especially when she often portrays herself as a victim. If Meghan wants to be seen as a good person, why does she continue to overshadow others?

Recently, Meghan was spotted out in Montecito, dining at an Italian restaurant called TR Luna. She was with her friend, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, wife of country singer Brad Paisley. Meghan was photographed with her “Duchess of Sussex” purse, which struck me as extremely pretentious.

 

It’s astonishing to see someone flaunt their title so blatantly. Meanwhile, her father is struggling with medical bills, and Meghan is out flaunting thousands of dollars worth of clothing. Her behavior seems to be a contradiction to the image she wants to project. 

Moving on to the recent development with the German filmmaker’s documentary, which has been put on hold. The documentary was initially set to air, but now it appears Meghan and Harry have contacted their attorneys, threatening legal action if the documentary includes any false claims.

Germans are known for their thoroughness, so this pause is likely to ensure that all information is accurate. The fact that this documentary is being scrutinized so closely indicates that Meghan and Harry are deeply concerned about what might be revealed.

Despite attempts to scrub the internet of sensitive information, some details about Meghan’s past might still emerge. The internet never truly forgets.

Meghan’s recent endorsement of Kamala Harris adds another layer of intrigue. If Harris becomes President, Meghan could have significant influence, which is concerning for some.

Recent polls show that Meghan’s endorsement could sway voters, which suggests that some people are still influenced by her public persona.

Meghan’s attempts to suppress information about her past and maintain a high profile in public life reflect her desire for power. Her past actions in Hollywood, which she might regret, could come to light through this documentary.

I believe the German filmmakers will ensure their documentary is accurate before releasing it. Meghan and Harry’s fear is palpable, as this documentary could severely impact Meghan’s career and their future.

Harry may also be coming to terms with aspects of Meghan’s past that he was previously unaware of. Their situation looks increasingly precarious, and it seems their fight to maintain their public image is becoming more challenging.

Meghan Markle’s much-anticipated trip to New York for a high-profile Women’s Summit in the Hamptons has taken an unexpected turn. The Duchess reportedly faced a dramatic setback when she was denied accommodation at a five-star hotel.

According to sources close to the situation, Markle was left furious and humiliated after her booking was inexplicably canceled, forcing her to find alternative lodging at the last minute.

Known for her taste for luxury and exacting standards, Markle was expected to stay at one of New York’s most prestigious hotels. However, in a surprising development, she learned that her reservation had been mysteriously canceled.

The reasons behind the hotel’s decision remain unclear, with speculation running high. Some believe that anti-monarchy groups might have pressured the hotel, while others suggest that Markle’s reputation for demanding behavior and diva-like tendencies could have played a role.

 

The incident has sparked outrage among Markle’s supporters, who have accused the hotel of discrimination and prejudice. On the other hand, critics have questioned the Duchess’s sense of entitlement and her expectations of preferential treatment. 

Markle’s public image, already marred by a series of controversies, is likely to suffer further damage from this latest setback.

The Duchess, often criticized for her lavish lifestyle and apparent disconnect from ordinary people’s concerns, will now face renewed scrutiny over her demands and expectations.

As the story continues to unfold, it’s clear that Meghan Markle’s journey to the Hamptons has not started as she had hoped. This hotel snub has exposed her vulnerability and highlighted the ongoing challenges she faces in maintaining her carefully crafted public image.

Princess Anne once left Meghan Markle “dumbfounded” when the actress sought out the hardworking royal for advice early on in her royal career. The Princess Royal reportedly advised the Duchess of Sussex to think of being royal “as a job” and not a means to become hugely famous.

The Duchess of Sussex was told by Princess Anne that being royal ‘is a job.’

“This senior royal takes no nonsense, much like her father, the late Duke of Edinburgh. Apparently, when Meghan Markle joined the royal family, she sought out Princess Anne,” royal expert Neil Sean dished. “According to a very good source, Princess Anne gave very sage advice to the new royal.”

He continued: “She [Anne] does endless amounts of engagements. She turns up, does the job, does not seek the limelight, and represents the Queen. I thought the recent visit together with the Queen to the Thames Hospice was wonderful. But apparently, Meghan left her meeting with Princess Anne dumbfounded. Princess Anne reiterated this mantra, she pointed out that it wasn’t a working monarchy, it was a job, you turn up on time, you do your research, and do the duty.”

The YouTube broadcaster then observed how the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II shared: “It’s all about the project at hand. She also pointed out that whatever charities you are involved in, you need to get involved and get immersed.”

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, speaking with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

“According to a very good source, Meghan Markle failed to warm to Princess Anne. And Princess Anne always knew that Meghan would have a very short shelf-life in the world of the British monarchy,” Sean concluded.

The Duchess of Sussex eventually decided not to follow Anne’s advice, as she found her brief tenure as a working senior royal to be troubling. She would go on to recount her experiences when she sat down with Oprah Winfrey, along with her husband, Prince Harry, in an explosive March 2021 interview.

Meghan Markle told Oprah Winfrey about her struggles with depression while in the royal family.

As The Royal Observer previously reported, Meghan got very candid in the question and answer session when it came to her mental health. “I just didn’t see a solution; I don’t understand how all of this is being churned out — again, I wasn’t seeing it, but it’s worse when you see it through your mom [and] friends,” she told the influential media mogul.

“It was all happening because I was breathing. Look, I was really ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit to [Prince] Harry, especially because I know how much loss he’s suffered, but I knew that if I didn’t say it, I would do it, and I just didn’t — I didn’t want to be alive anymore,” the Duchess confessed.

The 10-year-old’s wholesome reaction was “too good not to share,” the proud dad wrote

Josh Duhamel impressed his son after meeting a major sports star.

Sharing a photo where he poses with David Beckham on Instagram Friday, the 50-year-old actor — who is expecting his second baby, the first with wife Audra Mari, 29 — explained why the photo was extra special.

“This was just too good not to share. Thank you @davidbeckham for making me look cool to my son. You’re a good man,” he captioned the shot.

The post also included a video showing son Axl, 10, reacting to the photo in a video message to his dad.

“Dad, that’s so cool! You met David Beckham!” he squeals in the video. “Oh my gosh, that’s so cool. I wish I could meet him.”

Josh Duhamel and Wife Audra Mari Expecting First Baby Together: ‘Coming Soon’

In March, Duhamel opened up about bonding with his son, whom he shares with ex Fergie, who had finally developed the love of sports his dad hoped for.

“Does my son play sports? He’s starting to get into it finally. I didn’t think he was ever going to get into it, but he really loves basketball now,” Duhamel exclusively told PEOPLE.

“He likes to throw the football around with me a little bit. I try not to be overbearing with him in sports, but I try to let him find it rather than me push it on him,” he continued.

“It’s taken him a long time and it’s actually been a little bit frustrating, ’cause I was thinking he was going to be like me, but he’s getting there. He likes it.”

Last month, the Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! actor revealed he’s expecting baby No. 2 in a joint Instagram post with Mari.

In a photo where Mari held ultrasound photos, the caption read, “Baby Duhamel coming soon 🤍.”

In an interview published days later, the Transformers star opened up to Parade about how his 10-year-old is responding to the news.

“He’s like, ‘Wait, now, am I going to be — You’re still going to love me, though, too, right?’” Duhamel said of an inquisitive Axl.

“I was like, ‘Of course, I’m going to still love you.’ And he’s like, ‘I’m still going to be your firstborn son, though, right?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, you’re still the firstborn son!’ ” the Shotgun Wedding actor added.

“He’s a really sweet kid. And he loves babies!” the father said. “I was the same way at his age. I just have always loved babies. There’s something about them. And he’s really good with younger kids. So I think he’s going to be a great older brother.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the United States back in 2020, and they have been building a new life for themselves ever since. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have seldom returned to Harry’s home country; they haven’t gone back together since 2022.

Now, rumor has it that some of the couple’s former friends have given them a very specific nickname — and it pertains to their drama with the royal family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s former friends called them ‘The Uninvitables’

Harry and Meghan left the UK and seemingly never looked back. Although Harry has returned to the UK a handful of times, he hardly spends any time with his family and has opted out of a number of events hosted by his friends. Most recently, Harry chose not to attend the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, who is one of Harry’s longtime friends, supposedly because his brother, Prince William, was planning to attend.

 

Now, though, rumor has it that Harry and Meghan are earning an unwanted nickname for themselves. “Harry and Meghan are being left off guest lists for friend’s weddings and other events due to their estrangement from the royal family,” a source told Express. “There is genuine fear that if the Sussexes are invited to a wedding or a christening, it could leave that family excluded from the social circuit which would be one of the biggest faux pas imaginable.” 

In essence, people are worried that if they’re too close with Harry and Meghan, they’ll be theoretically barred from Britain’s high society. “They are being called ‘the uninvitables’ by friends,” the source added. Harry has expressed a desire to return to the United Kingdom in some capacity, but he claims that his security concerns have prevented him from coming back.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say they are ‘really happy’ in the United States

Harry and Meghan have certainly been building a new kind of life for themselves in the US, though they seem to be doing alright. Harry and Meghan have two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom they are raising in California. During the couple’s May 2024 trip to Nigeria, Meghan told reporters that she is “really happy” with their life.

Harry and Meghan have some loyal friends over here and plenty of help from Harry’s mother, Doria Ragland, but the two are still finding their footing when it comes to businesses. Meghan is in the midst of launching her new American Riviera Orchard brand, while Harry maintains focused on his Invictus Games. However, Harry has recently hit a few snags between his Pat Tillman award controversy and his CEO of the Invictus Games Foundation recently stepping down.

David Beckham recognized the amazing mothers in his life on Mother’s Day in the U.K.

England celebrated Mother’s Day on Sunday, and the former soccer star, 48, took to social media to celebrate his mom, Sandra Beckham, his wife, Victoria Beckham and his mother-in-law, Jackie Adams.

Victoria, 49, and David share Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12.

“So lucky to have the most amazing Mummy’s in our life’s,” David wrote in the post. “Thank you for everything you do and the love you give to the whole family x We love u so much.”

David tagged Victoria, Sandra and Jackie in the caption, and added, “HAPPY MOTHERS DAY,” with a red heart emoji.

The retired soccer star shared five throwback photos in his tribute to the women, including photos from when his and Victoria’s kids were just babies.

In the second slide, Victoria is wearing a New York baseball cap while giving a baby bottle to her infant. The designer matched her cap to a grey sweatshirt and playfully put her son’s toes in her mouth while he drinks from the bottle.

In February, David told PEOPLE he’s looking forward to celebrating his and Victoria’s 25th wedding anniversary on July 4. This year also marks a quarter century since one of his greatest soccer achievements.

“For me, personally, I am also looking forward to celebrating — it will be 25 years since Manchester United won the treble — including the Champions League of course! — and Victoria and I will also celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary,” Beckham told PEOPLE. “So lots to look forward to!”

David and Victoria got engaged a year after they met at a soccer match in 1997, and the pair officially wed on July 4, 1999, in Ireland. The ceremony took place at Luttrellstown Castle outside of Dublin, which includes 20 bedrooms and a ballroom, and is part of a private 560-acre estate.

David and Victoria exchanged vows in front of 29 guests, and as the pair said their “I do’s,” a dove was released. A flag was also raised above the castle that read “V. B. D.” standing for Victoria, their son Brooklyn and David.

For the reception, they reportedly welcomed a much larger guest list of about 230 people. David and Victoria famously sat on matching gold thrones and shared their first dance to Frank Sinatra’s recording of “It Had to Be You.”

Four months before they tied the knot, the couple welcomed their first child, Brooklyn Beckham. He served as the ring bearer at their ceremony and was dressed in an all-cream outfit to match David’s suit, which included a satin cravat, a pinstripe vest and a long suit jacket.

MEGHAN Markle should involve her children in her new business to secure its success, claims a royal expert.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, is soon to debut her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, after teasing the launch by sending jams to influencer pals.

However, the royal mum-of-two could face some “challenges” with its success, claims a brand strategist.

Brand strategist Lucie Green believes Meghan will have to decide whether to make her products expensive or accessible, and she’ll have to be careful about any royal references.

Speaking to Fabulous, Lucie shared: “Positioning will be a tightrope, whether to go very high-end and exclusive or make the brand more accessible.”

Now, Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine, Ingrid Seward, claims including Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, with the brand could help its success.

NOT WANTED Meghan will NEVER return to Britain – she knows she is so unpopular, expert says
Particularly following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex coming bottom in royal popularity in a recent YouGov poll, with only Prince Andrew below them in the table.

The royal expert told Fabulous: “I feel that they are going to need the addition of their children to kind of burnish their own image.

“I think if Meghan’s got her head screwed on right and we all think she has and she’s very smart, I think she would definitely want to go slightly down the kiddie line.

“Because most mums do, when they have young children, you want to get involved with them in every way you can.

 

“So I think I think very, very likely that Meghan will start to include some sort of kiddie things in her range of jams or whatever she does, maybe specialised children’s food.”

Grace Kelly and Meghan Markle were both born in the United States and married foreign royals.

Grace Kelly was born on November 12, 1929, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to Biography, her father was a three-time Olympic gold medalist for rowing, while her mother was the first coach of women’s athletic teams at the University of Pennsylvania.

Meghan Markle was born on August 4, 1981, in Los Angeles, California. Her mother, Doria Ragland, was a clinical therapist and yoga instructor, while her father, Thomas Markle, worked in television as a light and photography director.

Meghan Markle and Grace Kelly were both famous actresses before becoming royalty.

Before becoming one of the most famous royals in the world, Grace Kelly had a highly successful career as an actress. She acted in her first film, “Fourteen Hours,” when she was just 22 years old. She got her big break in 1952 with the release of “High Noon,” which launched her career to new heights.

She went on to star in “Mogambo” opposite Clark Gable and Ava Gardner, during which time she was romantically linked to Gable. For her role as Linda Nordley, she was nominated for her first Academy Award and won a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actress. She later won the Academy Award for best actress in 1954 for “The Country Girl,” beating out Judy Garland in “A Star is Born.”

In 2002, Markle landed her first official TV acting credit as Nurse Jill, a small role in “General Hospital.” However, she is best known for her role as Rachel Zane on “Suits.” She appeared in episodes from 2011 to 2018.

Princess Grace met her husband, Prince Rainier, on a photo shoot, while Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend.

According to Harper’s Bazaar, Grace Kelly was invited to join the United States Delegation Committee at the Cannes Film Festival in 1955. While in France for the festival, she met Prince Rainier III of Monaco on the set of a photo shoot. A year later, they were married.

In July 2016, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were set up on a blind date at Soho House in New York City by a mutual friend.

In their first sit-down interview as a couple, Markle told the BBC in 2017 that she didn’t know much about the prince or the royal family before the date.

“Because I’m from the States, you don’t grow up with the same understanding of the royal family,” she said. “I didn’t know much about him, so the only thing that I had asked [our mutual friend] when she said that she wanted to set us up, was, ‘Well, is he nice?’ Cause if he wasn’t kind, it just didn’t seem like it would make sense.”

Princess Grace and Meghan Markle both gave up their acting careers after getting engaged.

Grace Kelly briefly continued acting after it was announced she was engaged to Prince Rainier in order to fulfill her contract with MGM. In her final film, “High Society,” Kelly even wore one of the two opulent engagement rings given to her by Prince Rainier.

As Insider previously reported, according to The List, J. Randy Taraborrelli wrote in his book, “Once Upon a Time: Behind the Fairy Tale of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier,” that Kelly planned to continue her acting career after her wedding. However, the prince later said he and his wife had decided she would give it up.

“It was widely believed that it was Prince Rainier who made his wife stop acting, as Kelly had no plans of retiring at the time of their engagement,” The List said.

On November 29, 2017, immediately following the engagement announcement, it was officially confirmed that Markle would be exiting “Suits” after seven seasons.

“From all of us at USA Network and Universal Cable Productions, we want to send our most heartfelt congratulations to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on their engagement,” USA Network said in a statement.

“Meghan has been a member of our family for seven years and it has been a joy to work with her. We want to thank her for her undeniable passion and dedication to ‘Suits,’ and we wish her the very best.”

Her storyline was wrapped up with her character, Rachel Zane, marrying Patrick J. Adams, who plays her love interest, Mike Ross, throughout the show’s seven seasons.

However, her decision to leave Hollywood was apparently not one made by the royal family — Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey his family suggested Markle should continue acting to earn money.

However, Princess Grace had to relinquish a majority of her Hollywood fortune to pay her royal dowry, something not required of Meghan Markle.

Before meeting Prince Rainier, Kelly was on track to become one of the most financially successful actresses in the world. However, after she was asked to pay a $2 million dowry, the equivalent of roughly $20 million today, using her own money and family wealth, she essentially had nothing left.

When she died at the age of 52, Princess Grace only had a net worth of $10,000 and the deed to her grandfather’s small cottage in Ireland in her own name.

Princess Grace’s and Meghan Markle’s marriages were both depicted in the press as fairy tale love stories.

Both Grace Kelly’s and Meghan’s Markle’s engagement and wedding days received massive public attention. Both royal weddings were broadcast live to audiences around the world and described as “modern fairy tales.”

Kelly’s wedding to Rainier was the first royal wedding to ever be transmitted live.

Prince Rainier was seeking a bride to produce an heir to the Monegasque throne, whereas Prince Harry knew he would likely never ascend to the throne.

Kelly maintained that she married for love.

“When I married Prince Rainier, I married the man and not what he represented or what he was. I fell in love with him without giving a thought to anything else,” Kelly once said.

Prince Harry, who was fifth in line to the throne when he married Meghan Markle, had no obligation to produce an heir to the British throne. Now sixth in line, it is extremely unlikely he or his children, Archie and Lilibet, will ever ascend to the throne.

Meghan Markle and Princess Grace both retained their US citizenship after marrying into royalty.

According to the Princess Grace Foundation, Grace Kelly was not required to renounce her American citizenship and became a dual citizen of the United States and Monaco after marrying Prince Rainier.

Meghan Markle also retained her American citizenship and even voted in the 2020 presidential election after she and Prince Harry moved to California.

Meghan Markle and Princess Grace both experienced culture shock after moving away from the United States.

While both Markle and Kelly experienced vastly different ways of life in London and Monaco, respectively, after becoming royalty, they both attempted to adjust to their new roles by immersing themselves in projects and causes they cared about.

“I never really liked Hollywood. I found it unreal — unreal and full of men and women whose lives were confused and full of pain,” Kelly once said.

Once a royal, she supported charities working for child welfare and established her own foundation to benefit local artists.

Meghan Markle appears to have had a harder time adjusting to her royal life and the expectations that came with it — in a March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, she said she was naive when she entered the marriage. Last year, the California native, Prince Harry, and their son, Archie, all relocated to Santa Barbara after stepping back from the royal family.

However, she too has focused on causes she cares about, formerly serving as a patron of charities in the UK, and launching her nonprofit foundation Archewell with Prince Harry.

After starting a relationship with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle faced negativity and racism in the press.

While there were negative reports about Kelly in the press during her time in Hollywood, Princess Grace was adored by both the people of Monaco and the Monegasque media.

However, Meghan Markle faced oftentimes unfair backlash and criticism from the British tabloids, practically from the moment she was romantically linked to Prince Harry. Her and Prince Harry’s treatment by the British press resulted in multiple lawsuits and a string of legal battles.

Meghan Markle also spoke out about the problems she faced within the royal family that led to her and Prince Harry relinquishing their royal duties and moving to California.
