The Queen’s Wit: A Look at Her Majesty’s Funniest Moments

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, was known for her grace, dignity, and unwavering commitment to her duties. But behind her stoic demeanor, she also possessed a sharp wit and a playful sense of humor. Throughout her 70-year reign, there were countless moments when Her Majesty let her guard down and revealed her lighter side.

In one memorable anecdote, during a G7 Summit in 2021, while posing for photographs, the Queen remarked, “I was supposed to be looking as if you’re enjoying it.” This self-deprecating quip highlights her ability to laugh at herself, a trait that endeared her to many.

Prince Philip, her husband of 73 years, was often the target of her playful jabs. During a speech commemorating their Golden Wedding Anniversary, she acknowledged, “All too often I fear Prince Philip has had to listen to me speaking frequently.” This lighthearted comment underscores the strong bond and mutual respect they shared.

Her love of horse racing was another source of amusement. In 2007, her horse, Estimate, won the prestigious Gold Cup at Ascot. The Queen, overcome with joy, was seen wiping away tears of happiness. This genuine display of emotion resonated with the public, reminding them of her human side.

Her encounters with ordinary people often yielded humorous moments. During a visit to a tree-planting ceremony, she quipped, “I planted a tree fifty years ago, and they’re still trying to dig it up.” This witty remark showcases her ability to connect with people on a personal level.

Even during formal engagements, her humor would shine through. In 1976, during the United States Bicentennial celebrations, she received a look from President Gerald Ford that she described as “only a mother could give a child.” This playful observation highlights her ability to find humor in unexpected situations.

Perhaps her most memorable comedic moment came in 2012, when she joined James Bond actor Daniel Craig for a grand entrance at the Olympic Games in London. The Queen’s willingness to participate in this lighthearted skit demonstrated her sense of fun and her ability to connect with popular culture.

Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy extends far beyond her official duties. She was a beloved figure, not just for her dedication to her country but also for her warmth, humor, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Her legacy will continue to inspire and entertain for generations to come.

Lies, Hysteria and Gaslighting: The Meghan Markle Story

Meghan Markle, the former American actress who married Prince Harry, has been a controversial figure since she joined the British royal family. She has been accused of lying, gaslighting, and exaggerating her experiences with racism within the royal family.

In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle claimed that she was subjected to racism from members of the royal family, and that she was even denied a title for her son Archie because of his mixed race heritage. These claims have been widely disputed, and many people believe that Markle is simply trying to garner sympathy and attention.

There is no doubt that Markle has faced scrutiny and criticism since she became a royal. However, it is also important to remember that she is a human being who deserves to be treated with respect. The way in which she has been treated by the media and the public has been nothing short of appalling.

It is time for us to stop focusing on the negative aspects of Markle’s life and start to appreciate her for who she is. She is a strong, independent woman who has made her own way in the world. She is also a loving wife and mother.

We should all be inspired by Markle’s story. She is a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. She is also a reminder that we should all be treated with kindness and respect, regardless of our race, background, or beliefs.

Here are some additional points to consider:

Markle has been accused of being a social climber and of using her relationship with Prince Harry to advance her own career.
Markle has also been criticized for her spending habits and for her lack of respect for royal protocol.
Despite the criticism, Markle remains a popular figure among many people. She is seen as a role model for young women and as a symbol of diversity within the royal family.

It is important to note that these are just some of the many perspectives on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. There is no one right answer to the question of whether or not she is a liar and a gaslighter. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide what they believe.

Meghan Markle Faces Backlash Over New Book’s Claims

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is once again under fire, this time over allegations made in a new book by author Tom Bower, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors.” The book, which was released in July 2022, paints a damning portrait of Markle, accusing her of being manipulative, attention-seeking, and even bullying staff at Buckingham Palace.

One of the most explosive claims in the book is that Markle made Kate Middleton cry during a bridesmaid fitting in the lead-up to her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. Bower also alleges that Markle had a falling out with Victoria Beckham over suspicions that Beckham was leaking stories about her to the press.

Perhaps most seriously, the book accuses Markle of playing the “race card” in her public statements about the Royal Family. Markle and Prince Harry famously gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey in 2021 in which they accused the Royal Family of racism, but Bower claims that these allegations were unfounded and that Markle was simply using them to gain sympathy and attention.

The book has been met with mixed reactions, with some critics praising Bower for his thorough research and others accusing him of being biased against Markle. However, there is no doubt that the book has damaged Markle’s reputation and further strained her relationship with the Royal Family.

In the wake of the book’s release, Markle has remained silent, but her supporters have been quick to defend her. Some have pointed out that Bower has a history of writing negative articles about Markle, while others have accused him of sexism and racism.

It remains to be seen what the long-term impact of the book will be, but it is clear that it has already had a significant impact on Markle’s life. Only time will tell how she will recover from this latest blow to her reputation.

Meghan Markle Faces Renewed Online Attacks Amidst Unproven Claims

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has once again found herself at the center of online scrutiny, with unsubstantiated rumors and allegations resurfacing across social media platforms. These attacks, which paint a negative picture of Markle’s past and character, raise concerns about the ongoing harassment she has faced since joining the British royal family.

At the heart of these rumors is the claim that Markle was a guest on Jeffrey Epstein’s yacht in Phuket, Thailand, in 2001, alongside Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell, and other controversial figures. This allegation, which stems from Maxwell’s biographer, has no concrete evidence to support it and has been widely disputed.

Another claim circulating online suggests that Markle had a secret rendezvous with disgraced former Today Show host Matt Lauer after an appearance on the program before she met Prince Harry. This allegation, sourced from an anonymous insider, has not been commented on by Markle and lacks any corroborating evidence.

Furthermore, a report published by the National Enquirer paints Markle in an unflattering light, portraying her as a manipulative and demanding individual during her childhood and questioning the veracity of her past claims, including her advocacy against a sexist advertisement and her connection to Hillary Clinton. The National Enquirer, known for its tabloid journalism and sensationalized reporting, has a history of publishing unsubstantiated claims about celebrities.

These attacks on Markle’s character and reputation come amidst a broader pattern of online harassment she has faced since joining the royal family. Some observers attribute this hostility to racism and sexism, while others view it as criticism of her actions and decisions.

Prince Harry ‘Hated All That Politically Correct Stuff’ Prior To Meeting Meghan Markle, Insider Claims: He ‘Changed Completely’

SOURCE: MEGAMar. 9 2023, Published 5:30 p.m. ET

Prince Harry “hated all that politically correct stuff – all that woke nonsense” until he met Meghan Markle, spilled one of the Duke’s former Eton College classmates.

In author Tom Quinn’s book Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family, released in February, the writer focused on Harry’s time at the prestigious college.

“They think real country people are defined by the fact that they shoot things. And if you go to a school like Eton, you don’t get a broad social mix. It’s only people from the old English aristocracy who are very conservative… This is the world that Harry grew up in. His only friends were the sons and some daughters of the old English aristocracy who are all like this. And so, his world was limited by that,” the 67-year-old said, describing the atmosphere of Harry’s alma mater.

The author spoke with some of the 38-year-old’s contemporaries, whom Harry was close with from 1998-2003.

“He was funny, a bit cynical and great company because, like the rest of us, he made jokes that we are no longer allowed to make,” the insider added.

The source continued, “After Meghan came along, he changed completely into what he would once have been the first to mock: a sort of Guardian-reading tree-hugger. It was all Meghan’s influence. We used to joke that she must be very good in bed to have turned his head that far.”

The classmates also claimed to be “stunned” by how much meeting the Suits actress changed the former soldier.

“His friends were horrified because it was almost as if he’d gone over to the enemy,” Quinn said.

“They were very rude about it. When Harry met Meghan, they got close very quickly. Harry wanted her to meet his friends. It never occurred to him that she might think they were awful, that they would make racist jokes. Harry once famously went to a party dressed up as a Nazi,” he added, referring Harry’s infamous past.

Quinn then referenced an occasion where the friends met the Duchess of Sussex.Ửhiucacs

“Meghan spent the day apparently telling them that they couldn’t make these awful jokes. One of them said at the end of the day, after meeting Meghan, they exchanged messages, not with Harry and Meghan, but with each other saying, ‘Why is Harry going out with this awful woman? She’s a tree-hugger. She’s obsessed with being woke.’ But I think Harry’s world was very split. And Meghan is a very powerful personality. Everyone says it,” he shared.

The author then said the prince separated from his family likely due to Meghan’s beliefs.

“I think by adopting completely Meghan’s view of the world, I think it made it much more difficult for him, certainly in his relationships with other members of the royal family,” Quinn said.

Fox News previously reported on Quinn’s book.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry given a ‘stark reminder’ of estrangement from Royals

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been feuding with the Royal Family for years and they’ve now been dealt a fresh blow as they’ve been excluded from King Charles’ birthday

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won’t be reuniting with the Royal Family any time soon

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s feud with the Royal Family has been turned into a “public spectacle” with their latest snub, according to an expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are believed to have been left off the invite list for King Charles’ birthday. The monarch will be celebrating his birthday at Trooping the Colour on June 15, but it seems his broken family relationships might overshadow the event.

It’s the second time in a row Harry and Meghan haven’t been invited to the monarch’s birthday celebrations. Leading publicist Michael Levine has said the snub serves as a “stark reminder” of the bitter Royal feud.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Michael said: “This continued exclusion of Meghan and Harry from Trooping the Colour is a poignant reflection of their ongoing estrangement from the core of the British monarchy.

“Their absence for the second year running underscores the deep rifts that persist despite the pageantry and tradition that define the Royal Family. It’s a stark reminder that personal conflicts can ripple through the public spectacle even in the most revered institutions.”

Michael suggested the snub poses a “significant problem” for Meghan and Harry and their place within the Royal Family. Harry and Meghan attended Trooping the Colour in both 2018 and 2019.

The event was scaled down in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was instead held for the late Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle without a large gathering of family members.

In 2022, Meghan and Harry travelled to the UK for the Trooping Colour but didn’t join the Royal Family on the Buckingham Palace balcony as they had done in previous years. Instead, they watched the festivities from a room above Horse Guards Parade along with other non-working royals.

Trooping the Colour traditionally sees more than 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians come together to mark the Sovereign’s official birthday. This year’s event will take place on Saturday June 15 from 10am until 12.25pm. There is a flypast scheduled to fly over Buckingham Palace at 1pm.

This year’s event will be slightly different to previous years. While the King will still take part in the procession, he will ride in a carriage rather than on horseback amid his ongoing cancer treatment.

Lady Colin Campbell tears shreds out of ‘cheap and vulgar’ Meghan Markle

Lady Colin Campbell had some harsh words for Meghan Markle after the release of the latest edition of British Vogue which Meghan guest-edited.

Colin Campbell is the author of three books about the royal family and criticised Meghan Markle for her recent takeover of British Vogue.

Campbell dubbed the move inappropriate for a royal in a lengthy diss to Closer magazine.

‘She was never an A-lister, so she needs to stop acting like one,’ Colin Campbell told the publication.

‘Royalty does not behave like celebrities do. It’s cheap, vulgar and irresponsible.’

Colin Campbell, who is set to appear on the next season of Celebs Go Dating, said Markle was ‘letting down’ those around the world who admire her by ‘cheapening’ herself in celebrity circles.

Meghan Markle has been dissed by Colin Campbell previously, who believes Princess Diana would not have bonded with the Duchess of Sussex.

‘I think Meghan and Diana are sufficiently similar personalities for there to have been the potential for conflict,’ she said.

‘They have very similar personalities, which would make me believe trouble may well have brewed down the line.’

Markle has been on the receiving end of her fair share of criticism in the press in recent months, having increased the level of privacy around her and her son Archie.

Meghan kept news of Archie’s christening close to her chest in the lead up to the occasion, leaving many royal-onlookers frustrated with her.

She also opted to keep his godparents a secret – another move that proved unpopular with fans.

 

Meghan was due to appear on the cover of British Vogue, however, instead opted to guest-edit the edition.

The Duchess revealed that she was at home with her dogs when she received the response from Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Edward Enninful, saying that she could be guest editor.

The September issue of British Vogue focuses on ‘Focuses for Change’, and features 15 ‘trailblazer’ and ‘changemakers‘ that inspire Meghan.

Prince Harry nearly ‘exploded with anger and bitterness’ during trip with Meghan Markle

During the trip the couple were forced to sit through one particularly cringeworthy moment, which a royal expert said would have been the root of the anger.

Prince Harry was full of “anger and bitterness” during his recent trip to Nigeria with Meghan Markle, a royal expert has claimed.

The couple’s trip was part of wider celebrations marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which Prince Harry co-founded.

During their three-day stay, they visited the country’s military headquarters and met with charity organisations and politicians.

They also visited a school for a mental health event and met wounded Nigerian soldiers after being invited by the country’s highest-ranking military official, Christopher Musa.

Despite what appeared to be a successful visit, royal commentator Angela Levin claimed the Duke was on the verge of “exploding with anger and bitterness”.

During the trip they were forced to sit through one particularly cringeworthy moment, which Levin said would have been the root of the anger.

The couple had to sit through a ceremony in which the national anthem was played, during which they stood awkwardly while the music played, staring straight ahead, poker-faced.

Levin said it was obvious that Prince Harry and Meghan “hated” this moment, but were forced to sit through it to “show respect”, adding that saying no to the ceremony would’ve been a publicity nightmare.

She told GB News America: “They were both standing up when they played God Save the King. They didn’t move. They didn’t even blink and they didn’t actually mouth sign a word.

“They obviously had to do it because the people wanted to do that to show respect for the King’s family They couldn’t say no because that would have made a lot of publicity.

“They were quiet but they obviously hated it. I thought Harry would explode with anger and bitterness, to be honest.”

Fans were quick to draw comparisons between the couple’s Nigeria trip and a traditional royal visit, as locals welcomed them with gifts, including a portrait of a young Prince Harry with Princess Diana.

Locals heaped praise on Meghan in particular for engaging in conversations and posing for selfies during the visit, as well as co-hosting a women’s leadership event with Ngoni Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organisation.

The Palace FINALLY ANNOUNCED Catherine & King Charles’ RETURN After 3 Months Of Cancer Treatment

Buckingham Palace has finally issued a statement regarding the significant return of King Charles and Princess Katherine to their royal duties after 3 months of battling cancer. Both King Charles and the Princess of Wales are undergoing treatment, marking a period of uncertainty and concern within the Royal household. Despite the challenges they face, the royal couple has made a resolute declaration of their commitment to their duties and responsibilities. Their return signifies not only a personal triumph over illness but also a reaffirmation of their devotion to serving their kingdom.

Today, Buckingham Palace has announced a joint engagement between the king and Prince William next week, after it emerged Charles will not see his other son, Harry, during the Duke’s UK visit. The palace confirmed Charles would meet with William on May 13th in a joint ceremony to hand over the commander of Harry’s Old Army regiment to his eldest son.

“His Majesty the King will officially hand over the role of colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,” the palace’s statement read.

Next week’s engagement with William will see King Charles unveiling a plaque which commemorates the arrival of the first Apache AHM K1 to be installed in a UK Museum. After departing the Army Flying Museum, King Charles will walk across the airfield to the middle wall of the control tower. Here, in front of an Apache, King Charles will be met by the Prince of Wales to officially hand over the role of colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps.

The official transfer comes 9 months after it was announced William would take the role in a major royal reshuffle. The news was announced only hours after Harry released a statement ruling out his meeting with the king on his current UK trip, prompting suspicions among royal insiders for their timing.

It is pertinent to note the role was previously designated for the Duke of Sussex due to his tour in Afghanistan before he called time on his position as a working royal of the family.

Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales’ health condition is showing positive signs, and she is expected to return to royal duties next June. Princess Katherine’s cancer recovery is going well, says an expert who asserts that Prince William’s recent public appearances are intended to signal that the royal family is returning to a state of normality.

The Princess of Wales stunned the world last month when she announced that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer discovered during abdominal surgery. Amidst this, Prince William has been performing the royal duties without his wife, and just recently, during one such outing, the prince was asked about his personal life, which has been a subject of a lot of attention in the past few months. Prince William said, “All doing well, thank you.” When further asked specifically about Catherine, he again said, “We are all doing well, well thank you.”

In a time of uncertainty, the presence of the monarch and the Prince of Wales reassures the nation, providing stability and continuity amidst turmoil. Their willingness to confront their health struggles openly and continue their duties serves as an inspiration to all. Moreover, the return of King Charles and Princess Katherine signals a new chapter for the royal family, one characterized by strength, resilience, and unity. It is a testament to their unyielding dedication to their roles as leaders and representatives of the people. As they embark on this journey of recovery and renewal, the royal family asks for the continued support and well-wishes of the public. Together, they will overcome adversity and emerge stronger than ever, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead in the corridors of the last Palace. Hope springs eternal as the royal family stands united in their commitment to serve and protect their kingdom, no matter the obstacles they may encounter along the way.
