    Prince Harry ‘running out of time’ to return to Royal Family, expert claims

    Prince Harry is “running out of time” to re-join the Royal Family and would need to act quickly while his father is still King as his brother Prince William would “never” let him back, a royal expert has said

    Prince Harry is “running out of time” to rejoin the Royal Family and needs to act while King Charles is still on the throne, according to a royal expert.

    Richard Eden, the Daily Mail’s Diary Editor, suggests that Harry would need to make this decision while his 75-year-old father is in power, as his brother Prince William may not be as accommodating.

    Eden believes that Harry was initially included in the King’s plan for a “slimmed-down monarchy”, with the expectation that the younger prince would continue public engagements with his family. However, in 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step back from their roles as working royals and relocated to Montecito, California.

    Speaking on the Palace Confidential podcast, Eden stated: “If Harry wants to come back at any stage, he needs to do it while his father is still King because I really do think that when Prince William is King, would he even take the calls from his brother? ” He added: “Can you imagine? I really can’t see him letting Harry come back and have a role again, they are irrelevant now, they are not wanted as part of the monarchy.”

    When asked by host Jo Elvin if it’s a case of “never say never” because Harry and William are family, Eden responded that it would require a “radical change” for William to welcome his brother back into the royal fold. The relationship between Harry and William has reportedly deteriorated over the years, with a series of misunderstandings leading to the current ‘feud’.

    Tensions between Princes William and Harry reportedly started back in 1998 when they were students at Eton, with William wanting to keep his distance from Harry. In the bombshell memoir ‘Spare’, Harry reveals that William instructed him to pretend they didn’t know each other, reports the Express.

    The rift apparently deepened over time, with Harry disclosing in his book that William cautioned him against rushing into marriage with Meghan, calling it “too fast” and “too soon”. The situation intensified, according to Harry, when a dispute about Meghan in 2019 led to William physically attacking him, grabbing his collar and throwing him to the ground.

    The Royal drama hit a peak in 2020 when Harry and Meghan dramatically stepped back from their Royal duties. While Harry has made a few visits back to the UK, it’s been suggested that Meghan might not set foot on British soil again.

    Piers Morgan takes aim at Meghan once again as he shrugs off record-breaking Ofcom complaints

    The former Good Morning Britain presenter pointed out that none of the Government-related complaints against him were upheld.


    Piers Morgan shrugged off a record amount of Ofcom complaints

    Former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan has shrugged off the record number of Ofcom complaints that he received during his time on the show.

    Back in March, Piers stormed out of the studio after an on-air spat about Meghan Markle with weatherman Alex Beresford which led him to later quit the ITV show and thousands of people to complain to Ofcom.

    The 56-year-old pointed out that none of the Government-related complaints against him were upheld, writes The Mirror.

    Piers then referred to Meghan as “Princess Pinocchio” as he suggested that complaints made against him for remarks he made about her wouldn’t be upheld either.

    Over 54,453 people flocked to Ofcom to complain about the presenter after Piers suggested that he didn’t believe the Duchess of Sussex when she said she felt suicidal during her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.

    It overtook Diversity’s Black Lives Matter performance on Britain’s Got Talent as the most complained about moment ever.

    Piers also bagged the sixth, seventh and 10th places after his interviews with Helen Whateley MP and Victoria Atkin MP.

    Sharing an article revealing he had nabbed four spots in the top 10 most complained about moments, Piers tweeted an emoji wearing sunglasses.

    He then tweeted a BBC article about the complaints, suggesting that Ofcom had seen “unprecedented” numbers of complaints with Piers attributing to a large portion of them.

    Piers wrote in response: “What this doesn’t say is that NONE of the Govt-related complaints against me were upheld, and I don’t expect the complaints relating to Princess Pinocchio to be either. How can @Ofcom possibly conclude I must believe a proven liar…?”

    Ofcom confirmed in the report that “in many of the cases above, [they] did not find the issues warranted an investigation”.

    A spokesperson added: “We’re a nation of TV lovers, and it’s kept us entertained and informed like never before during lockdown. From time to time viewers see things that trouble them, and that’s where we come in.”

    LONDON, UK: Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were once quite close to each other but things reportedly began to worsen when Harry decided to marry Meghan Markle and they eventually separated from the royal family.

    However, now the Duke of Sussex reportedly regrets the distance.

    Harry used to share ‘uncomplicated relationship’ with Kate

    Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror, “He really misses that warm, uncomplicated relationship, and he is torn between loyalty to his wife and regret about the loss of the woman he was so close to.”

    “Losing Kate was Harry’s second great loss after losing his mother,” he asserted.

    The expert also mentioned that Meghan does not feel the same way as her husband.

    He explained, “Megan doesn’t feel guilty about Kate, because she feels that Kate should’ve been the one person in the Royal Family to back her against every difficulty.”

    Quinn continued, “Apart from anything else, Meghan knew Kate was an outsider, so she just couldn’t understand why Kate always towed the Royal line rather than supporting her, Meghan, the other outsider.”

    The author shared that though the Duchess of Sussex has been shocked by Kate’s cancer, “she can see no way to patch up the relationship simply because it has become so poisonous.”

    “She also doesn’t want people saying that she is trying to make things up with Kate just because Kate is ill. Meghan still feels Kate was in the wrong and should apologize before they try to build bridges,” Quinn added.

    Kate Middelton’s shocking health update

    This came after in March, Kate released a video statement on Instagram, letting people know about her health.

    She said, “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. At the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.”

    The mother-of-three further mentioned, “The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”

    “My medical team therefore advised I should undergo preventive chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment. This of course comes as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this for our young family.”

    “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort, and the love and support and kindness that has been shown from so many of you. As a family, we need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment,” she added.

    Harry claims he’s trying to help William’s kids as ‘one will end up like him’

    In an interview with Bryony Gordon from the Telegraph the Duke of Sussex, who has just released his tell-all memoir Spare, said he was someone “who likes to fix things” apparently alluding to the Royal Family.

    Prince Harry, who now lives in California, appears to believe he can “fix” things for his niece and nephews, George, Charlotte and Louis, although he admitted the Prince of Wales has made it “very clear” the children are “not my responsibility”.

    Harry said: “As I know full well, within my family, if it’s not us, it’s going to be someone else.

    “And though William and I have talked about it once or twice, and he has made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility, I still feel a responsibility knowing that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare.”

    In an expansive conversation with the newspaper from his Montecito home the Duke discusses his feelings for the press and their relationship with the Royal Family, which he says he is trying to “save from themselves”.

    The 38-year-old royal claims he will be “crucified” for making this observation but he says it is his “life’s mission” to put right what he calls the “wrongs” that he claims drove out his family from the UK.

    Apparently blaming the British press for his family leaving the country, the Duke makes reference to the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, and TV presenter and former flame Caroline Flack who tragically took her own life aged 40.

    He says he reached “breaking point” when he came home to find his wife Meghan in “floods of tears” while she was nursing their son Archie. He said his wife “would be dead” if she read the newspaper stories about them.

    This week King Charles, Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, took part in their first public engagements since the publication of Prince Harry’s book which has revealed in intense detail his own feelings about them and Camilla, the Queen Consort,

    Both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have so far refused to comment on the 416-page piece of ghost-written literature.

    A YouGov poll has found the popularity of Harry has fallen since his book was published with 68% of 1,691 adults, polled on Tuesday and Wednesday, having a negative opinion about him while 24% thought positively.

    The online research data group said the figures meant the duke had his lowest ever net favourability rating of minus 44, down from minus 38 last week, which had been his previous record low.

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly extended an olive branch to Princess Kate, according to insiders.

    The Sussexes, whose rapport with Prince William and Princess Kate has soured over time, are said to be seeking reconciliation.

    After their royal departure and relocation to the US, Meghan and Harry have openly criticized the royal couple, most notably in a 2021 interview and Harry’s 2023 memoir, “Spare.” Amidst these tensions, both Kate’s recent cancer diagnosis and King Charles’ illness have unfolded.

    Prince Harry promptly visited his father post-diagnosis but has yet to meet with Kate. Sources suggest Meghan is eager to present herself as a peacemaker and sympathizes with Kate’s challenging circumstances.

    Meghan reportedly wishes to move beyond the discord for the sake of healing, ready to release any resentment.

    The source told Closer: “Meghan’s desperate to come across as the bigger person and end this feud between them – appearing like some sort of royal saviour could only do her image good.

    “And, despite all their bad blood, her heart does go out to Kate – she can only imagine how hard this situation must be for her.

    “Meghan has made it clear she’d love nothing more than to move past all the nonsense and find a way towards healing for everyone’s sake. She’s ready to let the anger and bitterness go.

    “Of course, it’s not really up to her and Harry, all they can do is continue to reach out and offer olive branches.”

    The Sussexes’ gestures of reconciliation continue, though it remains uncertain if the Cambridges will reciprocate.

    Prince Harry was “infuriated” after King Charles refused to put Meghan Markle on the royal family payroll, a new book claims.

    The monarch reportedly broke the news to the “spare” prince in 2016, just moments after Harry revealed he planned on marrying the American actress, royal correspondent Robert Jobson wrote in his new book, “Our King.”

    “Are you sure, Harold?” Prince William asked his younger brother.

    Then-Prince Charles delivered the second blow — rather than congratulating Harry, the future king said he couldn’t afford to pay Meghan as a member of the royal family because he was already bankrolling Camilla and William’s growing family, Jobson states in an excerpt obtained by the Daily Mail.

    “This infuriated Harry,” wrote Jobson, who also authored two books on Princess Diana alongside her former bodyguard Ken Wharfe.

    The “bombshell” led to one of the initial falling-outs between father and son.

    Charles stopped taking Harry’s calls after his son swore at him and repeatedly asked for funds.

    “When the Queen asked Charles why he hadn’t given in, he told her that he wasn’t a bank,” Jobson wrote.

    Jobson theorizes that all the incidents Harry and Meghan have publicly whined about — such as the spat between Kate Middleton and Meghan in the leadup to her wedding, when the actress said the then-pregnant Duchess must have been suffering from “baby brain” — were made bigger in their minds because of King Charles’ initial refusal to accept Meghan as a working, patrolled royal.

    Harry had a strong inkling that William disapproved of Meghan and considered their romance a “whirlwind affair,” the book claims.

    Meghan felt Kate was “stand-offish” from their initial meeting, forming an uncomfortable relationship that continued through their years as in-laws.

    Even Queen Elizabeth became turned off by the couple’s antics, particularly after their 2021 interview with Oprah in which they heavily criticized the monarchy and accused the family of not accepting Meghan out of racist ideals.

    The late Queen described the Sussexes’ behavior as “quite mad,” Jobson wrote, and later came to believe that Harry was “so consumed” by his love for his wife that it was “clouding his judgment.”

    Prince Harry is believed to have ambitious plans for wife Meghan Markle within the royal family.

    Speaking to former GB News journalist Dan Wootton, royal expert Angela Levin claimed the Duke of Sussex wants the duchess to become the Queen in the stead of Kate Middleton and Camilla.

    “He believes – and this must surprise you – that Meghan is the one who should take over as Queen,” she shared.

    “He does what he’s told, and he thinks that it was very bad that Meghan wasn’t questioned about what should be done to make the royal family up to date,” Levin added.

    “And [Meghan] said herself that she felt that they should have asked her what should be done rather than Kate because she is a self-made woman and she’s got much more experience.”

    For the unversed, Harry and Meghan gave up on their royal positions when they moved to the US with their children four years ago.

    They have since sparked animosity with the rest of the royal family by hurling insults and levelling allegations at them during interviews.

    Though their return to the royal family is currently not on the cards, the Spare author is still fifth in line to the throne, as well as one of the counsellors of the state.

    Harry can only be King in case of unlikely absence of Prince William or his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

    Broadcaster Piers Morgan has received criticism for his remarks on Princess of Wales Kate Middleton’s physique during her recent Trooping the Colour event. On his show, Morgan commented on Middleton’s slimness and called for transparency regarding her and King Charles’ health conditions.

    A viewer expressed that Morgan should honor the royals’ privacy, noting Middleton’s consistently slender frame. This Trooping the Colour marked Middleton’s first public outing following the holiday season, sparking considerable attention.

    Meghan Markle DIDN’T MEAN to steal the spotlight from Kate Middleton

    As the nation turned its eyes to the pomp and pageantry of Trooping the Colour, celebrating King Charles III’s official birthday with a grand military parade, another event quietly unfolded in the digital realm. Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, unveiled two new tantalizing products: a raspberry-flavoured jam and dog biscuits.

    The timing was impeccable—or controversial, depending on whom you ask. Just hours before Kate Middleton made her much-anticipated royal comeback at Trooping the Colour, a close friend of Markle’s revealed these latest additions to her burgeoning brand.

    Polo player Nacho posted this image of the dog biscuits from American Riviera Orchard on Instagram Stories

    Figueras, known for his association with the Sussexes, shared a series of intriguing photos on his social media account. The images featured a jar of raspberry jam and a box of dog biscuits, both bearing the label of Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

    The jar of raspberry jam sent to Nacho from American Riviera Orchard.

    The timing of this post raised eyebrows, as it coincided with Princess Kate’s appearance at the Trooping the Colour parade. The internet was abuzz with speculation: Was this a calculated move by the Duchess of Sussex to steal the limelight from her royal counterpart?

    The claims of overshadowing were rife, but an expert has since clarified that Markle’s business move, seemingly coincidental, bore no malice. “While I am sure the gift packages came with notes requesting social media coverage, you can’t tell Nacho Figueras what to do, so I think it’s certain the timing of his post was his own idea. The larger point here is that the American Riviera Orchard campaign has been phenomenally successful and cost Meghan nothing. It is a text book social media campaign. The only problem is that there still seems to be nothing actually for sale, so what is it all for? I guess we will find out.”

    This narrative is not new to followers of royal affairs. The Duchess of Sussex has often been pitted against the Princess of Wales in media narratives that thrive on rivalry. Yet, this latest development suggests a more nuanced reality where personal milestones and professional endeavors coexist, even if they occasionally overlap in the public eye.

    As American Riviera Orchard continues to expand its offerings, from edible delights to lifestyle products, Meghan Markle cements her role as an entrepreneur with a keen sense for timing—whether by design or coincidence.

    In the 87-minute video posted on YouTube, he can be seen making fun of the Duchess while sporting a wig and tiara and appearing to push a cushion up his top.

    Thomas introduces himself as “Me-again Swamp-donkey Crotch” during the odd mimicry. Notably, “Me-gain” is a cruel nickname which has been widely used by internet trolls for Meghan. “I was just showing off the new bump I bought on eBay out of Montecito,” he added.

    Thomas Markle faces flak for ‘grotesque’ video

    Responding to the mockery of Meghan, Royal commentator Jennie Bond accused Thomas of betrayal and slammed the “grotesque” video.

    “To have your own flesh and blood lead the assault must feel like the ultimate betrayal for Meghan,” Bond told the Daily Mail.


    Damian Collins, Conservative MP and ex-tech and the digital economy minister, has urged the internet companies take more stringent measures to counteract “campaigns of harassment and intimidation.”

    “They have created systems that have not only allowed conspiracy theories to thrive, but are actively promoted by the recommendation systems designed by these big tech companies,” he said.

    While Thomas is said to have not spoken to his half-sister for over ten years, he seems eager to capitalise on his royal connections.

    “If you don’t like it, don’t watch, right? I’m gonna be riding those coattails, baby,” he said in the video clip. “Oh, yeah, if it wasn’t for Meghan Markle I don’t know what I’d be doing.”

    Thomas, who resides in Grants Pass, Ore. and works as a window fitter, intends to launch a variety of products, such as glass, mug, and T-shirt lines, reported The Mirror.

    He has created his own YouTube page where he regularly posts videos and does live streams in which he vents about Meghan and the royal family and even interact with his 36,500 subscribers.

    Meghan claims to have received ‘cruel’ comments during her pregnancies

    In his other viral videos, Thomas can be seen making derogatory remarks against Meg’s mother Doria Ragland. He also called Meghan’s new lifestyle company American Riviera Orchard “American River Orchard.”

    In a speech at the SXSW festival in Texas, Meghan recently raised awareness of the potential significant mental health consequences of social media.

    She also discussed how social media can create a “dangerous” environment for young girls. She also recalled the “cruel” and “catty” remarks she received during her pregnancies.
