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.

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.”
Certainly! Here’s a refined version of the content focusing on accurate details and removing speculation:
Recently, Celine Dion marked a triumphant return to the spotlight at Katy Perry’s Las Vegas show, showcasing her enduring talent following a brief absence due to illness.
Her presence at the Resorts World Theater was celebrated, demonstrating her enduring appeal in the entertainment world.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the event, reportedly seated separately from Dion and other celebrities.
Despite Meghan’s attempt to engage with Dion, it was noted that their interaction did not unfold as expected.
This incident, including a purported remark about Dion’s health, has sparked some controversy, highlighting the challenges Meghan and Harry face in navigating their public appearances.
In the broader context, there have been discussions about Meghan and Harry’s evolving social status and relationships within the entertainment industry.
Reports suggest they may be experiencing a shift in how they are perceived, contrasting with the growing popularity of Prince William and Kate Middleton, particularly in the United States.
Additionally, anticipation surrounds Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir, with speculation on its potential impact on his relationship with the royal family, notably with William and Kate.
Amidst these developments, there is also speculation about Meghan and Harry’s attendance at King Charles’s 75th birthday celebration, with their representative clarifying that no formal invitation has been extended.
These recent events underscore the complexities of royal life in the public eye, where perceptions and relationships can evolve amidst media scrutiny and personal challenges.
This version provides a clear and factual overview of the events and speculations mentioned earlier, focusing on accurate information and avoiding the speculative elements present in the original content.
Meghan Markle’s biological mother condemns the British royal family for pushing her daughter into a corner, revealing a plan: “My daughter will be queen.”
Doria Ragland, a steadfast pillar of support for her daughter Meghan Markle, exuded a blend of pride and concern during an intimate gathering with a carefully selected cadre of journalists at her residence.
With a graceful yet resolute demeanor, she illuminated the complexity of Meghan’s position within the royal family.
In her poignant address, Ragland first highlighted Meghan’s intellectual prowess and remarkable achievements, acknowledging her daughter’s status as a formidable force within the royal circle.
My daughter,” she began, her voice imbued with maternal pride, “embodies not just intelligence, but a rare courage to confront power with truth.”
She underscored Meghan’s unwavering commitment to speaking truth to those in authority, including King Charles, Prince William, and even her own husband, Prince Harry.
‘Oh my God, this is not possible. This isn’t true. What’s happening?” Meghan Markle’s Mom Doria Ragland not happy with daughter after Kate Middleton unveiled heartbreaking secret
As most royal nerds and Californians already know, a little more than a week ago, it was reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left Canada to move to Los Angeles. And according to a source, the reason for this seemingly sudden change of location was because Meghan and Harry “realized Canada would not work out for various reasons and they want to be based in the Los Angeles area. They have a big support network there…Meghan has lots of friends there and, of course, her mum, Doria.”
However, a new report in The Sun says Meghan hasn’t seen her mom since moving to L.A. even though they live “just 10 miles away.” But of course, it’s not because Meghan and her mom have any issues but rather because Meghan and Harry are carefully self-isolating amid the coronavirus pandemic. A source shares:
“Meghan is absolutely heartbroken—after all, one of the main reasons she decided to live in L.A. was to be near her mum. Because of her age, Doria obviously has to be careful and Meghan and Harry are sticking rigidly to all formal guidelines when it comes to coronavirus. They’ve been WhatsApping and FaceTiming almost daily but obviously it’s not the same.”
And while it’s hard for all of us to self-isolate from family and friends amid the pandemic, it’s one of the best ways to keep everyone safe. So kudos to Meghan and Harry for setting a good example and helping to protect their community. ❤️
“If she comes there will be a huge amount of adverse publicity because of the way she has acted for the past four years. On top of that, you have the issue of Archie and Lilibet — who are completely blameless.”
Fitzwilliams also said now that the Sussexes lost their bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection would also be an “excuse” not to visit.
“If she comes there will be a huge amount of adverse publicity because of the way she has acted for the past four years. On top of that, you have the issue of Archie and Lilibet — who are completely blameless.”
Fitzwilliams also said now that the Sussexes lost their bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection would also be an “excuse” not to visit.
“The security would be decided on a case-by-case basis, they would make sure the trip was secure from the point of view of the UK,” he continued. “I think security could be used as an excuse not to come though.”
“Meghan has every right to come but they have been thrown out of Frogmore and for a good reason,” Fitzwilliams added.
“Spare and the interviews around it were horrible frankly. She has the perfect excuse not to come over because Harry has lost his security case.”
The Waleses have had a years-long rift with the Sussexes, but it was recently reported that the pair may be looking to bury the hatchet once and for all.
Meghan Markle will ‘no doubt’ overtake Kate Middleton in popularity
Rumours have been circulating that Meghan Markle is set to make a big return to Instagram, with one expert suggesting she could overtake Kate Middleton in terms of popularity
Meghan Markle has faced a tough few months recently, but things could be about to change for the Duchess of Sussex.
Speculation has been mounting that Meghan is set to return to Instagram and relaunch her popular blog The Tig, with one PR expert suggesting she could overtake her sister-in-law Kate Middleton when it comes to popularity. A recent survey showed Kate and her husband Prince William way out in front in terms of popularity among the public.
However, PR to the stars Mayah Riaz believes this will soon change. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: “It’s no doubt when Meghan re-joins Instagram she will overtake Kate in terms of popularity.
“Kate’s Instagram is curated with huge precision. There are things which Kate isn’t able to post.”

Mayah pointed out how it’s likely Kate has staff posting to social media on her behalf. The PR expert added: “Therefore, it paints a picture perfect life which the Royal Family are keen to portray.”
Meghan stepped down from the Royal Family three years ago, before moving to America with her husband Prince Harry. Mayah said this will allow Meghan to “post what she wishes”.
“She wont have to run it by anyone for approval before posting it,” Mayah explained. Speaking about what we could expect from Meghan’s Instagram, she added: “We can see all aspects of Meghan and her family life.”

Mayah said Meghan is likely to grab widespread media attention with her Instagram account. She told us: “We don’t often see Kate’s Instagram posts making headlines. However, Meghan’s life on Instagram will lead to headlines. We can also expect to hear news of projects announced first on her Instagram.”
Meghan and Harry were recently spotted dancing the night away at Beyoncé’s concert in California. Mayah said: “We have seen footage of Meghan dancing at Beyoncé’s concert as well as public display of affection with Harry. We would never see Kate and William like this.
“This is why there will be day and night difference between Meghan and Kate’s Instagram. Let’s not forget, people who love to hate Meghan will bizarrely still follow Meghan’s Instagram.”
However, she warned Meghan could be targeted by online trolls. “We are more likely to believe that Meghan herself will be posting on her Instagram. This will lead to an explosion of followers very quickly when it’s confirmed that @meghan is her account.
“Along with the explosion of following, I fear that a lot of it will be trolling. We have seen the amount of hate directed her way on Twitter (X) and sadly, I think that will follow on Instagram too.”
Royal fans call for Meghan and Harry to return to the royal family but Princess Anne opposes
Amid Princess Anne’s increased royal duties, there’s growing chatter about Meghan and Prince Harry’s potential return to the fold.
As Princess Anne reportedly takes on 70% of the royal family’s duties, royal fans call for Meghan and Harry’s return to the royal family.
Princess Anne’s hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Recent reports indicate she’s been shouldering the lion’s share (70%) of royal responsibilities. The spike comes in the wake of King Charles and Kate Middleton stepping away from their royal duties as both grapple with health conditions and intense media scrutiny towards Kate for posting an ‘edited’ family image on Mother’s Day.
With her unwavering efforts, Princess Anne’s workload has exceeded that of her brother, King Charles. Princess Anne’s dedication to royal duties raises questions about the workload distribution within the royal family.
As Princess Anne’s workload increases, there’s a presumption about who will step up to share the burden. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s exit from the royal family left a gap that hasn’t been filled yet. Nevertheless, with the recent developments concerning Princess Anne’s responsibilities, some reason that it’s time for Harry and Meghan to rethink their decision. The calls for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to return to the UK gain voice to relieve these mounting workloads.
The Royal family’s official diary, from 18/03/2024 to 10/5/2024, has in it 55 public engagements that Princess Anne agreed to. Her day will be exhausting, as she is attending five events on the same day, and the remaining weekends suggest that the national tour means she also attended a trip to Scotland recently. The huge amount of her responsibilities is one of the pivotal reasons for people to get concerned about her mental health and the conversation of whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should return to being working royals keeps on happening.
In total, the eight-week period in question lists 78 public royal engagements. The Duke and The Duchess of Edinburgh will jointly attend two of these. The breakdown of the engagements is as follows: The Princess Royal with 55, The Duchess of Edinburgh with 13, The Duke of Gloucester and The Duke of Edinburgh with four each, Birgitte, The Duchess of Gloucester with three, and The Queen with one.
The royal family is observing a break for the Easter holidays, with no engagements planned from Good Friday, March 29th, until April 5th. Kate is also set to return to royal duties after Easter.
The thought of Prince Harry and Meghan coming back into the royal family isn’t without its challenges. Questions about their roles, duties, and public perception would need to be handled. Furthermore, Prince Harry and Meghan have voiced their desire for financial independence and sovereignty. Returning to the royal fold could mean forfeiting some of the freedoms they’ve achieved since stepping back.
The couple’s place in the monarchy has come up again in the spotlight due of Princess Anne’s workload. Calls for Prince Harry and Meghan to return have been made, but will they follow their own course?
Why Norris’ lap time was deleted, and Verstappen’s wasn’t deleted
F1 NEWS
Lando Norris briefly lost his lap time, but it was later reinstated. As a result, Norris still secured pole position for the sprint race. GPblog asked the FIA what exactly happened.
Norris’ fastest lap time was taken away from him. The Briton had gone off track on the previous lap. That lap time was deleted by the FIA, and because Norris went off track at the last corner, his next lap time was also taken away. This is because normally you have an advantage from this.
However, the stewards quickly realised that Norris had not benefited from going off track at the last corner of the previous lap. His trip through the gravel only hindered him on the lap that followed. The lap time was reinstated because he did not take advantage of this situation.
Why Verstappen’s lap time was not deleted
Strangely, Max Verstappen’s lap time, which also went too wide at the last corner of his penultimate lap, was not removed and was later reinstated. On this, the FIA says they simply did not make the same mistake with the Dutchman.
Prince Harry ‘intimidated’ by two royals after ‘secret meeting’ plot
Prince Harry detailed how he truly felt about meeting two Royal Family members when he flew to the UK for his grandfather’s Prince Philip’s funeral.

Prince Harry recalls asking for a “secret meeting” with his father, the then-Prince Charles and brother, Prince William, when he flew to the UK to attend the funeral of his late grandfather, Prince Philip. Harry’s thoughts were penned in his bombshell memoir, Spare, released in January 2023, where he detailed feeling intimidated by the royal pair.
The Duke of Sussex recalled panicking that they had “changed their minds” about meeting with him while he was back in England, and admitted he “considered giving up” when he believed they weren’t going to come. However, when heading back to the house where his cousins were gathered, Harry spotted William and Charles on their way to meet him.
He wrote: “Then, at last, I saw them. Shoulder to shoulder, striding towards me, they looked grim, almost menacing. More, they looked tightly aligned. My stomach dropped. Normally they’d be squabbling about one thing or another, but now they appeared to be in lockstep – in league. The thought occurred: Hang on, are we meeting for a walk…or a duel?”
Harry also revealed he was scared of meeting with his family, and compared it to “going into battle for the first time”.
The relationship between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the Royal Family worsened when they announced they were stepping down as working royals and eventually relocated to the US, signing Netflix and Spotifty deals. But the relationship between the brothers also worsened further when he and Meghan took part in an explosive tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
Loose Women star issues ten-word verdict over Meghan Markle quitting the UK
Prince Harry recently returned to the UK as he flew to London and attended a celebration for the Invictus Games but his wife Meghan Markle decided to stay home. The Duchess of Sussex instead joined the royal on a memorable tour of Nigeria.
Prince Harry kisses Meghan Markle in Nigeria
Loose Women star Jane Moore addressed the Sussexes trip to Nigeria last month as she offered her verdict on the Duchess not returning to the UK.
The columnist admitted Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s tour brought back vivid memories of when she accompanied King Charles and the late Princess Diana on a royal press trip to the same country in March 1990.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the West African nation after being invited by its military for the three-day trip. It marked 10 years of the Invictus Games, which Nigeria joined for the first time last year.
Prince Harry heard about the work of a charity which organises basketball camps for children in Africa, and played a game with students. In addition, the Sussexes visited a secondary school and the couple were welcomed to the State Governor House in Nigeria’s most populous city, among taking part in an array of other activities.
Writing in her recent column for The Sun, Jane admitted Meghan’s “charm” was reminiscent of Princess Diana.

She wrote: “Watching Meghan charm the crowds in Nigeria brought back memories of the time when, as part of the royal press pack, I accompanied Charles and Diana there in March 1990.
“One shows her lighting up the room at a women’s festival in Lagos with her easy-going manner and ability to make everyone she spoke to feel special.”
Addressing the Princess of Wales she went on: “She was a force of nature and, although Charles was the heir apparent, he was very much in her shadow.
“It’s the same story with Harry and Meghan who, however much her recollections now vary, was welcomed by the British public with open arms.”
Jane delivered a ten-word verdict since Meghan chose to leave the UK, adding: “It remains a great shame that she didn’t stick around.”

Harry and Meghan decided to step back from their royal duties in 2020 and officially stepped down the following year, with the couple relocating to Montecito, California.
They have made very few return trips to the UK since their move, with Meghan last seen in Britain at the late Queen’s funeral in 2022.
It has since been reported they are considering splitting their time between the US and the UK in what could be the start of a royal reconciliation.
Earlier this week, it was suggested that the Duke of Sussex started looking into finding a home in Britain that he and his wife could keep for visiting instead of having to check into hotels each time.
Meanwhile, King Charles will be attending the Trooping the Colour on Saturday (June 15).
Prince Harry and Meghan last attended Trooping the Colour in 2019 – before they quit royal life and moved to the United States. A commentator says there is an “open invitation” for Harry to attend royal events such as Trooping the Colour.
