Meghan Markle’s telling remarks about her personality clash with Kate Middleton unearthed

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is set to forgo another visit to the United Kingdom alongside Prince Harry next week, as he attends an event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. This development further underscores the strained relationship between the Duchess and the Royal Family, which shows no signs of abating.

It has been confirmed that the former actress, known for her role in the television series “Suits,” will not accompany her husband during his return to England for the celebratory occasion. Instead, she will remain in the United States with their children before embarking on a subsequent trip to Nigeria with the Duke.

The well-documented tensions between Meghan Markle and Princess Kate have resurfaced, with a clip circulating online in which the Duchess discusses their “different personalities.” However, at the time, it appeared that Meghan was acknowledging and embracing the distinct personalities of herself, Prince Harry, Kate, and Prince William.

The remarks in question were made during a joint appearance with Prince Harry and the Prince and Princess of Wales at the Royal Foundation Forum in 2018. Meghan Markle expressed her appreciation for the diverse personalities and open communication within the group, stating, “Thank goodness it’s such differing personalities and that everyone’s very communicative because that’s how you can really see bigger change.” She emphasized the importance of varying perspectives in driving progress and breaking through conventional mindsets.

Meghan further elaborated, “Changing mindsets and all of that is part of this communication that we have constantly. So, I think it’s part of the reason we’ve had so much success with Heads Together and whatever we end up working on moving forward.” Her comments highlighted the value of continuous dialogue and collaboration in achieving success with their initiatives.

However, the dynamics within the Royal Family have undergone a significant shift since those remarks. It is now alleged that Meghan Markle is actively avoiding any interaction with the Royal Family. Her reported decision to refrain from visiting the UK next week is perceived as a deliberate attempt to “isolate herself from Buckingham Palace,” indicating a substantial deterioration in relations.

The decision of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, to refrain from accompanying her husband, Prince Harry, during his recent visit to the United Kingdom has garnered significant attention. According to Ryan McCormick, a prominent public relations expert, the Duchess’s absence may be attributed to her desire to establish an independent presence, distinct from the Royal Family, through her new venture, American Riviera Orchard.

McCormick posits that Meghan’s choice not to join Harry in the UK could stem from her intention to dedicate more efforts towards her recently established company. Concurrently, the Duchess may seek to further distance herself from Buckingham Palace, potentially due to weariness from the constraints associated with the Royal Family or perceiving the close association as an impediment to the successful establishment of an independent business and personal presence within the United States.

Kate Middleton news: Royal provides Princess of Wales and King Charles updates during TV interview

Sarah Ferguson provided updates on Princess Kate and King Charles during a TV interview on Wednesday morning.

The Duchess of York spoke with Martin Lewis and Susanna Reid regarding her own cancer diagnosis as well as her family members.

Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles had been diagnosed with a form of cancer in February.

The monarch returned to public-facing duties in late April with an engagement alongside Queen Camill at the Macmillan Cancer Centre in London.

Sarah Ferguson provided updates on Princess Kate and King Charles during a TV interview on Wednesday morning.

In March, the Princess of Wales announced that cancer was found in tests following a significant abdominal surgery earlier this year.

Princess Kate released a video message confirming the diagnosis and revealing she had undergone preventative chemotherapy.

The Princess of Wales has not returned to public duties as she continues to focus on her health following the diagnosis.

Reid asked the Duchess of York: “How is the King and how is Princess Kate?”

The Duchess of York spoke with Martin Lewis and Susanna Reid regarding her own cancer diagnosis as well as her family members.

Ferguson responded: “I am so proud of the King going to Cancer Research UK and becoming the royal patron, going out there and talking to all these people.

“It gives everybody that wonderful feeling that they are being listened to, I thought it was very brave for him to do that.

“The lovely Princess Catherine doing the video was so brave, I think family unity is an extraordinary thing.

“I am so proud, I am sending lots of love and lots of support. We can all rally together.”

Kate will miss the traditional rehearsal for Trooping the Colour which will take place on June 8.

Last week it was confirmed that the Princess of Wales will not attend the Colonel’s Review as she continues her treatment for a form of cancer.

Kate will miss the traditional rehearsal for Trooping the Colour which will take place on June 8.

In her role as Colonel of the Irish Guards, the princess would have been due to take the salute at the event.

However, Lieutenant General James Bucknall will be the inspecting officer on behalf of the Princess of Wales.

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry’s family has just grown a little larger as they’ve adopted a new chicken for the coop at their £12million mansion.

Rescue chicken ‘Sinkie’ previously had a very famous previous owner – former chat show host Ellen DeGeneres – but had to be re-homed due to other chickens bullying her.

Ellen took to Instagram to share the news with her followers, saying: “Sinkie’s leg is fixed but our chickens were still picking on her so she had to be re-homed.

“Luckily our friends Harry and Meghan’s coop had room for one more.

“Not sure yet what her royal title will be.”

Sinkie won’t have had to travel far to her new home, as Ellen, 65, lives just a five-minute drive from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in Montecito, Santa Barbara.

Animal lover Ellen had previously shared updates on rescue chicken Sinkie, who had suffered a broken fibula bone before Christmas.

Ellen and wife Portia de Rossi had named the bird Sinkie as she loved an old stone sink in their garden.

She explained: “I know it’s a stupid name. You can blame Steve Carell for that, he named her.”

American actor Steve Carell, who starred in The Office, is a friend of Ellen’s.

Ellen shared a photo of Sinkie appearing to enjoy her new dwelling at Meghan and Harry’s swanky Californian mansion.

Previously, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave Oprah Winfrey a tour of their rescue chicken coop, adding that it was part of them aiming to “live authentically”.

In a video clip, an adorable red hen house dubbed “Archie’s Chick Inn” was also spotted.

Oprah said the chickens were saved from a nearby factory farm.

Ellen’s fans were quick to comment on Meghan and Harry taking on Sinkie, with one writing: “HRH Sinkie”.

Another person added: “Lady Sinkington would be such a cute royal title for Sinkie!”

And a third commented: “Sinkie is lucky. Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will spoil her.”

Prince Harry and Meghan bought their luxury Montecito mansion for £11.93m in June 2020.

It is also home to their son Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.

The sprawling nine-bed, 16-bath home sits on 5.4 acres of land and features a library, office, spa, gym, game room, wine cellar and five-car garage, it’s believed.

The estate also boasts sweeping lawns, tiered rose gardens, tall Italian cypress trees, blooming lavender, olive trees, a tennis court, tea house, children’s cottage and a pool.

The couple have treated fans to glimpses of their multiple living spaces on several occasions – showing off a minimalist vibe.

In May last year it was said to have more than doubled in value since the former royals bought it.

As well as chickens, Meghan has previously adopted a number of dogs.

These include a beagle named Mamma Mia, a beagle called Guy, a labrador-shepherd mix called Bogart, who was unable to relocate with Meghan to the UK due to his ailing health, and a black Labrador with Prince Harry called Pula.

Here’s The Reason Why Kate Middleton Was Reportedly ‘Angry’ With Queen Camilla And ‘Refused’ To Curtsy To Her At The Coronation

Kate Middleton may have dressed the part for King Charles’ coronation on Saturday, May 6th, looking breathtaking in a white Alexander McQueen dress teamed with royal regalia at the request of the new monarch, but she didn’t do *everything* the new King and Queen wanted!

According to reports, the Princess of Wales, 41, actually refused to curtsy to Queen Camilla as she left Westminster Abbey – we had no idea! – because she was “angry” with her! Why was the usually so calm mom-of-three so angry? If we are to believe royal reporter Tom Bower, it was due to an alleged dispute about the guest list!

Kate Middleton And Queen Camilla Disagreed Over The Coronation Guest List

Kate Middleton is already rumored to have been upset that her former friend, Rose Hanbury, who Prince William was rumored to have had an affair with, was not only invited to the coronation but actually attended it. But that’s not all…

According to Bower, who appeared on Dan Wootton Tonight on Tuesday, May 16th, Camilla (formerly known as Camilla Parker-Bowles after her marriage to British Army officer Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973) had 20 of her own family members on the guest list, yet the Duchess of Cambridge wasn’t even allowed to have her sister Pippa Middleton or brother James Middleton’s partners at the event. We said last week that Kate regularly puts on a brave face in public despite being “heavily affected” by the royal rift – but even she couldn’t hide her feelings at the coronation!

“Camilla brought 20 Parker Bowleses to the coronation and there were four Middletons,” Bower explained. “If you look at the coronation footage, as the King and Queen leave the thrones and head for the exit of Westminster Abbey, you’ll see that everyone bows and curtsies to the King and no one moves a limb, a muscle, when Camilla passes. And that’s because they were angry with Camilla.” It all makes sense now!

Many People Felt Snubbed By Camilla

Kate wasn’t the only one who was angry with Camilla though, as the New York Post reported that many of the people who helped change Camilla’s image from mistress to new Queen were also snubbed from the historic event. As expected, they were “furious” about it too!

“All the people that helped Camilla get the crown on her head were excluded from that coronation, and they were furious,” Bower continued, adding, “Kate and William were angry too. That anger went right through that small part of the congregation by the throne, at the center of Westminster Abbey. And in that moment, it was absolutely noticeable to those people who had been excluded that nobody — let alone Kate — curtsied to Queen Camilla.”

Prince William Snubbed Camilla Too

Prince William, 40, not-so-subtly snubbed his step mother at the coronation concert the following day, as he failed to mention her in his speech. “What was even more noticeable was, at the Windsor concert the following day, William makes no reference to Queen Camilla [in his speech]. So there is a tension there,” Bower said, before adding that Camilla is actually “exhausted” by everything that’s happening at the moment.

“The whole problem with Camilla is that she’s exhausted at the moment,” he continued, adding, “Those who met her in the weeks before the coronation noticed a very tired, very worn-out woman with tell-tale signs of age, and she’s clearly exhausted by the whole thing.”

 

Prince Harry and Meghan LIVE: Couple savaged over ‘ridiculous’ move as support collapses

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been savaged after a branding move labelled “savage” by a royal expert.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been slammed for one “ridiculous” move as an expert claimed the couple has “never cared” for royal protocol.

Over the weekend, Prince Harry’s close friend and fellow polo player Nacho Figueras posted pictures on his Instagram story of two new American Riviera Orchard products – raspberry jam and dog biscuits – just hours before Trooping the Colour.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams claimed this was a “ridiculous” PR stunt and a way to get more media attention on her, adding that current A-list support for her brand is dwindling.

He told The Sun: “If the Sussexes want to make an impression in the United States, particularly in Hollywood, they need A-list support, and they’re not getting it… To do anything on the day of Trooping the Colour was ridiculous.”

He also pointed to Royal Family protocol that ensures there are no diary clashes between members of The Firm – something he said Prince Harry and Meghan had “never cared” about.

Meghan Markle ‘in the doghouse’ while Princess Kate shows bravery on world stage

Meghan Markle has “put herself in the doghouse” by promoting new American Riviera products as the Princess of Wales made a one-off Trooping the Colour appearance, a an expert has claimed.

Nacho Figueras, a close friend of Prince Harry’s, showed off raspberry jam and dog biscuits thought to be from the Duchess’ lifestyle brand on his Instagram story just hours before the highly anticipated royal event.

Asked on Sky News Australia whether the timing of the plug was intentional, journalist and royal commentator critic Louise Roberts said: “I would say this is intentional, but also a bit of a miss-hit because the timing was very, very poor.

“Instead of doing the classy thing and sending a very public message, particularly to Charles and Kate, given their cancer battle, ‘all the best for Trooping the Colour today, I hope it goes well,’ or something in the Meghan style.

“Instead one of Harry’s polo friends was putting up Instagram pictures of dog biscuits and raspberry jam. Now I don’t blame him [Harry] at all, clearly Meghan had a hand in this. But to take the spotlight away from her father-in-law and sister-in-law is really, really poor form I think.

“I don’t think anyone cares about jam or dog biscuits at a time when the whole world’s attention, in particular, is on Kate and her bravery on the world stage and being very stylish, unlike her sister-in-law who really has put herself in the doghouse by spruiking products and not focusing on the Royal Family.”

Royal Family LIVE: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in ‘grey area’ with desperate plans

Prince Harry has a “sense of yearning about what he is missing out on”, claims one royal expert.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in a “grey area” as they desperately try to plan for their future, it has been claimed.

The couple, who currently live in the US with their two children, have been at loggerheads with the Royal Family for some time – especially since making the decision to step down as senior working royals at the start of 2020.

However, despite tensions, Harry is reportedly keen on wanting to rebuild his relationship with his family but the couple are said to be stuck in a “grey area” over what the future holds.

Speaking to Sky News Australia, the Daily Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers said: “We know pretty much that Meghan has made a decision. She’s not going to be coming back to Britain as Harry has done over the last few months.

“Harry does want that relationship with his family so it’s a bit of a grey area at the moment, I think.”

Sue Cleaver – best known for her role as Eileen Grimshaw – appeared as a panelist on Loose Women twice this week, with her opening up about weight loss on one occasion

Sue was seen alongside panellist Denise Welch and co-star Simon Gregson backstage in a photo that was shared by the show’s account on Instagram on Thursday. It prompted some reaction from fans, with many complimenting Sue.

One person wrote in response to the photo: “You look amazing.” Another said in the comments section on the platform earlier this week: “Sue looks radiant.” Sharing their thoughts, a third person reacted: “Sue looks fabulous.” There were also compliments over her outfit choice for her appearance, with some fans interested in the blouse that she wore for the episode. Similarly, some people took the opportunity to ask where Sue had got her glasses from.

Whilst others shared that they hadn’t recognised her initially, with one person writing: “Blimey, I didn’t know that was Sue Cleaver.” Another said: “Gosh didn’t recognise [her] at all.” Someone else responded to the comment: “Neither did I.” “Same here. Took a few seconds,” another person wrote in the comments section. Someone reacted to the photo: “[She’s] unrecognisable! She is pretty with her shortcut.” Another person said: “Didn’t realise it was Sue at first.”

There was a similar reaction to her appearance on Friday’s episode. One person tweeted: “Is that Sue Cleaver at the end? She’s looking amazing. That green really suits her too.” Another person tweeted: “Sue is looking so good.” Sue spoke about experiencing weight loss on Thursday’s episode, sharing: “My weight has been up, down, all over the place … a lot of it was helped by red wine! At the minute, I am a lot thinner but I’ve been ill this year.”

She commented: “What I hate is the shame that is attached to being a bigger person. The judgements that are made about another person […] often from other women.” Sue added on the show: “I always find it really hard to take.”

The actor urged: “We know we have a problem. We know we have an addiction. Don’t treat us like we are idiots!” She went on to share her thoughts about apparent “innocent” commentary, including people complimenting her.

Stacey Solomon left fans all asking if she was planning another pregnancy announcement on Wednesday, as the Loose Women star admitted to feeling broody following her health scare

Stacey Solomon has left loyal fans all saying the same thing after admitting to feeling broody.

The former X Factor finalist has sparked rumours she is ready announce a pregnancy and welcome a sixth baby into the world thanks to her latest social media post, less than one year on from giving birth to her youngest child.

Stacey, 34, took to Instagram on Wednesday to give her followers an update after being struck down by illness and hospitalised during a festive break in Jamaica.

The Loose Women presenter had flown to the Caribbean with 20 family members, including her husband Joe Swash, their kids, Stacey’s sister Jemma, her dad David and her nieces and nephews.

However, just before they were set to fly back home, Stacey suddenly fell ill and her condition worsened as the evening progressed. “So yeah, I ended up in hospital in Jamaica. I don’t know why I’m laughing but it doesn’t feel real,” Stacey recalled last week as she explained what happened.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Stacey shared how she was feeling “half human” and making progression in her recovery – with the DIY guru sharing a couple of mini bedroom cleaning videos on her Stories and showing off some recent Amazon purchases, bought while ill and bed-bound.

The mum-of-six then took to her main grid to share a sweet video of her daughter Belle, 11 months and son Rex, three, interacting as Belle took a few steps across the kitchen inside Pickle Cottage. “Well Done Belle & Rexy This made my day today…” Stacey began when captioning the video to her 5.8million followers.

She continued: “While I’ve been feeling unwell Rex & Joe have been teaching Belle new skills What happened to my baby? Why am I broody? Hope this makes you smile as much as it did me today…” Stacey’s “broody” admission didn’t go unnoticed by the star’s fans, who all rushed to the comments to say the same thing.

“Is this your way of saying number 6 is incoming…[laughing emojis] such a cute video,” one Instagram user wrote underneath Stacey’s video, with another adding: “About time for the annual baby announcement anyway I’d say? Bring on no.6?” A third predicted: “Baby no.6 incoming.”

Stacey and husband Joe share three children together – Rex, three, Rose, one and daughter Belle, who was born in February 2023. The Sort Your Life Out presenter is also mum to 16-year-old Zachary, with ex-boyfriend Dean Cox, and another son, 11-year-old Leighton, with ex-fiancé Aaron Barham, while former EastEnders actor Joe shares a 16-year-old son called Harry with ex Emma Sophocleous.

Speaking to the Mirror last year, Stacey discussed her large blended family and admitted baby number six isn’t on the cards for her and Joe. “We don’t want any more – we cannot cope with it,” the mum-of-five declared. “Yeah, we wanted all these kids and we’re so grateful to have them. So we will get romantic… but in 20 years’ time.”

Presenter Kirstie Allsopp faced the wrath of Loose Women panelist Janet Street-Porter after she made a claim that detached houses should be banned as they’re not ‘practical’

Location, Location, Location star Kirstie Allsopp is perhaps used to clashing with co-host Phil Spencer over their choice of home for a prospective buyer.

But this time she has come up against Loose Women panelist Janet Street-Porter after claiming that detached houses should be “banned.” Kirstie had made the original claim during an interview when she boldly said that Britain’s house system was not “fit for purpose” as mortgage payments were going “through the roof. And when asked her advice for those thinking of buying a house in the UK, the 52 year old presenter said at the time: “I would stop the building of detached houses. They’re not environmentally practical.”

Janet Street-Porter hit back at Kirstie Allsopp’s claims that detached houses should be banned (

She went on to tell Daily Mail Weekend magazine: “They don’t make the best use of the sites. They have smaller gardens, there’s less community. That gap between the houses is a waste of space.” And it was as though Phil knew her comments would cause outrage as he responded saying: “You have to be brave,” to which Kirstie replied: “You have to tell the truth.”

One person who was at the forefront of those fuming was Janet Street-Porter, who is known for voicing her opinion. She took to X, formerly known as Twitter and hit back at Kirstie’s comments, sparking a feud. She wrote: “Kirstie Allsopp says detached houses should be banned because they are not ‘environmentally practical’ and lead to loss of community feeling…Posh people always seem to know what’s best for the rest of us, don’t they?”

And Janet’s blunt response sparked a flurry of comments on social media. Screenwriter Jonathan Harvey also took to the social media platform and penned: “Like she’s never lived in one.” Another person said: “So I take it she lived in a semi-detached then? I think not.”

“What a privileged life having no experience of bad neighbours and the stress caused by being unable to escape their noise day in day out and constant disrupted sleep,” wrote a third. Noticing a rise in discontent, Kirstie felt forced to address her views on detached homes on social media, in the hope of avoiding confusion.

She wrote: “It’s not the fact that they are detached it’s the quality of them. Better to build semis or terraced houses with bigger gardens, better heat and sound insulation and, vitally, more space inside then pretend those tiny little gaps means they are ‘detached’ and somehow better.” (sic)

In another tweet, she added: “If anyone wants to know my views on the appalling quality of some of today’s so called ‘detached’ new build housing find my original tweets on the matter.” Kirstie then said that she does in fact live in a huge detached house in Devon but also lives in a block of flats in London.

She explained: “Every working day I get to help people, and see this country and learn about real lives and real issues. I care deeply about the quality of what we build & where we expect people to live. Anyone who can’t see that just doesn’t want to, but that’s their problem not mine. Thank you to all the folk that do.”
