“Shocking Revelation: Royal Expert Drops Bombshell News About Harry & Meghan’s New Royal Family!”

On May 19, Harry and Meghan celebrated six years since they got married. They got married at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. Back then, they were seen as part of the royal family’s future, along with Prince William and Kate Middleton.

But things changed. What started as a problem between Harry and William turned into a problem between Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the royal family. Their relationship is really bad now, and people wonder if they’ll ever make up.

Now, six years later, Harry and Meghan live in the US. But is life better for them now? A royal expert says their rivalry could get even worse, which might lead to two separate royal families.

Harry and Meghan’s wedding was on May 19, 2018, at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. It was the first royal wedding since William and Kate got married seven years earlier. Many people wanted to compare the two weddings.

Both weddings were big deals, but they had differences. One big difference was how Meghan rode to her wedding with her mother, not her father, like Kate did. Meghan’s relationship with her father, Thomas, was complicated.

If you look at pictures, Meghan waved to the crowd more relaxed, with her fingers spaced out. Kate kept her fingers close together when she waved.

The weddings of William and Kate, and Harry and Meghan, were quite different. William and Kate’s wedding was serious, with fewer laughs, while Harry and Meghan’s was more relaxed and had gospel singing.

William and Kate invited world leaders, ambassadors, and Prime Ministers, along with many other important guests. Meghan and Harry had more celebrities on their guest list.

Their wedding was unique because of their private life and the media attention they got before the wedding. Some guests, like George Clooney and his wife Amal, didn’t know Harry or Meghan.

There’s a story about Carolyn Bartholomew, who was Diana’s former flatmate, asking the Clooneys how they knew Harry or Meghan at the wedding. The Clooneys said they didn’t.

After the wedding, Harry and Meghan visited the Clooneys at their home in Italy. George Clooney said they’ve had dinner together a few times over the years.

Oprah Winfrey also attended the wedding, but people were surprised because there was no talk about her relationship with Harry and Meghan. One headline even said, “Oprah Winfrey has arrived at the royal wedding — but people aren’t sure why.”

Royal expert Andrew Morton, known for his book “Diana: Her True Story,” questioned Meghan’s choice of celebrity guests at the wedding. He said Meghan invited A-list Hollywood celebrities who had defended her publicly.

Morton said, “I don’t think she even knew Oprah Winfrey before the wedding. But she invited these people, and now she has her own group of supporters.”

He added, “Meghan’s A-list celebrity friends are very vocal and powerful, unlike Prince Harry’s friends who stay quiet.”

Some people thought Harry and Meghan might consider leaving the royal family soon after their wedding. Just days after the wedding, Jonny Dymond, a royal correspondent for the BBC, felt something wasn’t right.

“There were stories coming out about how Meghan behaved towards staff,” Dymond said in the BBC documentary “The Prince and the Press.”

Camilla Tominey, who first reported on Harry and Meghan’s relationship, said, “We were hearing that things weren’t good between William and Harry, Meghan and Kate, and Harry and Meghan with the royal household.”

Even now, many things are unclear about why Harry and Meghan left the royal family for good.

Meghan Markle talked about their decision in an interview with The Cut. She said the British press was always criticizing her, which affected her health and relationship with the royal family.

Because Harry and Meghan’s lives were paid for by taxpayers, the tabloids said their lives were of public interest. So, Harry and Meghan suggested they could earn their own money instead of relying on taxpayers.

Meghan said maybe all the criticism would stop if they did that.

They also asked the royal family if they could leave the UK and live in another country like South Africa or Canada, which is part of the Commonwealth. But the answer was no.

Meghan said they wanted to leave because they were upsetting the royal family’s order just by being there. She said it wasn’t a new idea because other royal family members have done the same thing.

But for some reason, they weren’t allowed to do it, even though other family members could.

Six years have passed, and Harry and Meghan now live in the US with their children, Archie and Lilibet. But according to one expert, their seemingly perfect life might not be as perfect as it seems.

Ingrid Sweard, who is a royal editor, said their big, fairytale wedding in 2018 made people love them at first. But then, people started to change their minds.

“We liked them for a while, but then we didn’t like them as much anymore. There were too many complaints. But they were in love, and that was important. Until they left, and then they didn’t matter anymore. They disappointed the Queen, Prince Charles, William, and Kate,” said Ingrid Sweard.

“They disappointed us. Harry seemed okay. He liked living in California with his family. But he was upset about leaving everything behind, including his brother, father, and sister-in-law, Kate.”

Harry and Meghan talked about the day they left royal life for good in their Netflix show. They left the UK on a private jet with their son Archie and Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland. Harry called it the “freedom flight.” It was surprising for many people that they decided to live away from the royal family.

In addition, Seward said Harry is successful financially, but as a person, he’s not seen as successful.

“He’s been a great husband and dad. When he and Meghan celebrate their six-year anniversary today, they’ll feel proud,” Seward told The Sun.

“People thought their marriage wouldn’t last, but it has! Harry isn’t as popular in his home country as he used to be. Some people feel sorry for him. But I don’t think Harry sees it that way. He’s happy with Meghan in their own world. I think they’ll stay happy together.”

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam also talked about Harry and Meghan’s marriage. He said they seem well-suited from the outside.

“They sometimes surprise people with their actions, which some people don’t like,” he said.

“But as far as I can see, their marriage looks good. They have fans. Meghan has started projects like American Riviera Orchard, and she’s working with Netflix and Cochrane entertainments. Harry is focusing on polo. Their trip to Nigeria was successful. But what they’ll do in the future is uncertain.”

In another interview, historian Gareth Russell talked about Harry and Meghan forming what he calls “an alternative royal family.”

“It’s a real possibility. But the problem for them is, when you do something like that, people become more critical of what you do outside of that,” Russell said.

“They’re calling it ‘The Office of Harry and Meghan,’ which is interesting. Maybe it’s a way to change the negative headlines they’ve had recently. They could be trying to become more traditional and position themselves as ex-royals.”

Russell wondered if they’re getting advice to stop criticizing the royal family. Right now, their popularity in America isn’t high, but that could change. Public opinion can change quickly.

Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw in Coronation Street, has opened up about her recent weight loss and the ‘judgements’ made about bigger people

Coronation Street’s Sue Cleaver has opened up about her weight loss, revealing it’s not due to dieting.

The 60-year-old actress, who first underwent a transformation in 2019 after losing three stone, said on Loose Women that she’s been ill this year which has affected her weight. Sue also shared that scammers have tried to use her transformation to sell fake diet pills online.

She expressed her frustration at the stigma attached to being a larger person, saying: “At the minute, I am a lot thinner but I’ve been ill this year, and for some reason, my metabolism just seems to have changed and because I’m not drinking. I have been the other way and I might go back the other way!

“What I hate about it is the shame that is attached to being a bigger person, the judgements that are made about another person, quite like you say, often from other women.” Sue added: “I always find it really hard to take, I can take advice, we’re not stupid… we know we’re big… we know we have a problem, we know we have an addiction, don’t treat us like we are idiots!”

She continued: “Other women are shocking at it, it’s just so innocent, but examples for me that things that always happen to me. When I’ve lost weight, I can go into a room and someone goes: ‘Oh my God, you look amazing! You’ve lost so much weight!’ and all I will hear is that: ‘You looked like an absolute dog when you were big!’

“It’s how we talk about it and how we talk around it, makes a big difference!”

The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star, who slimmed down from size 16 to 12, previously told Prima Magazine: “I lost some weight in the jungle, but I’m not obsessing over diets: life is hard enough! There’s always going to be outside pressure and unfair expectations placed on women, but I refuse to get pulled into it.”

“That’s why I’ll never promote anything weight-related, and it’s why I’d always compliment somebody on their smile or outfit, rather than their weight.”

She once revealed she started to become more health conscious after collapsing on set and being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes back in 2011. Following the incident, Sue embarked on a health journey and transformed her diet – going from a size 16 to a 12 in 2019.The soap star is said to favour a Mediterranean diet, which is high in vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, beans, cereals, grains, fish and unsaturated fats such as olive oil and usually includes a low intake of meat and dairy foods

Princess Kate gives befitting response to Prince Harry’s assumptions about her

Kate Middleton challenged Prince Harry’s major claim about her

Kate Middleton must have certainly taken offence from Prince Harry’s claim about women in the royal family forced to fit in a certain “mould” while speaking on his titular Netflix docu-series in 2022.

The Duke of Sussex appeared to boast about his rebellious side when talking about marriage to Meghan Markle.

He said, “I think for so many people in the family, especially obviously the men, there can be a temptation or an urge to marry someone who would fit the mould as opposed to somebody who you perhaps are destined to be with.”

“The difference between making decisions with your head or your heart. And my mum certainly made most of her decisions, if not all of them, from her heart. And I am my mother’s son,” Harry added at the time.

Writing for News.com.au, royal author Daniela Elser disagreed with the implication that his brother Prince William married Kate only because she “fit the mould.”

Rejecting the claim, she noted: “The wild, weird events of 2024 so far have proven the extent to which Kate cannot be written off as some mould-fitting docile popsy.”

Elser also cited famed Australian essayist Chiarman Clift, who heralded the future Queen’s work representing “sneaky little revolutions.”

She went on to point out Kate’s prolonged absence from the public eye for the last four months in the wake of her health crisis, in a major break in tradition which required members of the royal family to prioritise the crown over personal life.

“For centuries, to be a woman who married into the royal family required a complete and utter sublimation of one’s own needs, desires and identity for the greater monarchical good,” the royal expert wrote in the piece.

“Kate has firmly but entirely rejected this, prioritising herself and her kids ahead of the needs of the institution.”

Elser also highlighted the other ways the princess “shrugged off any suggestion that she might neatly twist and contort herself to squeeze into a particular mould,” including choosing to raise her kids in a more low-key environment of Adelaide Cottage in Windsor instead of the luxurious world of Kensington Palace.

She also put her foot down against the royal tradition to send her kids to co-ed school.

“My point is, Kate has charted her own course with increasing confidence and a refreshing lack of tractability,” the author explained.

“Harry might have seemingly obliquely disparaged both Kate and William with his ‘mould’ line but I think we can say that the Princess of Wales has defied this particularly belittling label,” Daniela concluded.

Loose Women stars Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson couldn’t hold it in as Ruth Langsford introduced a rather smutty segment to the ITV show

There was anarchy in the Loose Women studio when Ruth Langsford suddenly lost control of the suggestive vibrating gadget she was waving around.

The panel were left screaming when suddenly the mystery appliance spun off and crashed against the desk, leaving co stars Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Linda Robson in stitches. Ruth was teasing them demanding they guess what the item was for before flicking the on switch.

Typically, there were a number of racy hints dropped by the trio as they stopped short of saying exactly what was on their minds. Twirling it in the air, the former This Morning host introduced the Guess Ruth’s Gadget segment and there were plenty of smutty suggestions put forward before all was revealed.

Ruth said: “This gadget and I have become inseparable over Christmas. I have found it very satisfying.” Linda cheekily chimed it: “Would you say it’s a lady’s friend?” before Janet said: “It looks a little gynaecological to me.” Ruth then confirmed the contraption goes at different speeds as it started to move faster and faster.

She was asked what her favourite speed was by Coleen before test driving it – and that’s when things got chaotic as the host lost control of the gadget. The women screamed and later returned to guessing exactly what it was as they read out some social media guesses. Ruth did a demo and this time it was problem free, whipping out a bowl of sauce and revealing the item is in fact a liquid stirrer. But there were some complaints from Coleen, who said there was splats all over the desk.

On Sunday, Ruth took to her Instagram to give her followers an update after her Christmas break. Gearing up for her return to work, Ruth admitted she’d been “trying to get back to where she was before Christmas”. Ruth posted her update as she made her dinner and prepared her lunch for Loose Women the next day.

The 63-year-old appeared without makeup and kept her hair back in a loose bun. She wished her fans a happy new year and revealed she had been busy in the kitchen all day. Ruth said: “Hello all. Back in the kitchen, Sunday, a bit of a cook up today. No makeup, hair scraped up.

“I’m using up lots of leftovers. I had lots of peppers, I had a bit of chicken. So, I’ve made a chicken tray bake thing.” She added: “I’ve been prepping all of my food because I’m back to Loose Women tomorrow. Done my breakfast, done my green juice, done my lunch. So, I’m not doing any kind of ‘new year, new me’ thing. I’m just trying to get back to where I was before Christmas, which is not living on Quality Street and gin!”

Lisa Riley has lost an incredible 12 stone after overhauling her diet and exercise regime, and the Emmerdale star has shared the secrets behind her weight loss transformation

Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley has wowed fans with her incredible weight loss journey, shedding a whopping 12 stone.

The actress, best known for playing Mandy Dingle in the ITV soap, shared the diet and exercise plan that helped her lose the weight with her fans last year.

Lisa kick-started her weight loss journey during her time on Strictly Come Dancing in 2012, which boosted her metabolism. Speaking on Loose Women in 2016, she revealed: “I saw a difference dancing seven hours a day and then I just ate soup as I didn’t want all that food jiggling around while I danced,”

The star admitted it’s hard to recognise herself now, saying: “It’s hard for me to see my reflection now. I used to have a shelf from here to here and where’s that gone? It is insane. I looked so different before. I was happy before but now I am happy and proud. I needed to do it though. Who knows though. People can yo-yo diet.”

The dedicated vegetarian also revealed she eats smaller portions and avoids eating after 6.30pm. She said: “I don’t believe in fad diets, even though I have tried them before. I have no food after 6.30pm. I only eat a carb if I need one and absolutely no bread or booze. The star has cut out bread and alcohol, and opts for a ‘fun’ Zumba class over the gym, as she finds the popular workout area rather “

Lisa has also swapped bread and booze for Zumba and healthy choices. Lisa, who cut out alcohol back in 2015 as a show of solidarity to her expecting friends, understood the caloric impact of drinking.

Chatting with The Mirror at that time, Lisa mentioned: “I realised there were lots of empty calories in booze so that is why I gave it up. If you add up through the week what I’d consume in alcohol calories it was mad.” Lisa joked about giving up alcohol for nine months along with her pregnant pals, but laughs that she hasn’t had a drink in nearly a year now.

Having shed an impressive 11 stone, Lisa opted for excess skin removal surgery in 2017, chatting to Mirror.co.uk three years on, stating: “People forget how gigantic I was. With the skin removal I lost twelve stone, one pound. The surgeon chopped off one stone, four pounds. Since then my weight has more or less stayed the same.”

In Lisa Riley’s Baggy Body Club, her 2017 TV documentary, Lisa shared her worries regarding her appearance after the major weight loss. She confessed: “When I made the decision to lose weight, I never for one second imagined that I would end up looking like that.”

The celebrity shared: “It never occurred to me that the loose skin would be so bad. I thought why on earth have I lost all this weight? I looked worse than I did when I was obese. And it was the pain as well. The skin was flapping about and dragging.”

After overcoming her initial fears, the 47 year old decided to undergo four surgeries to fix her loose skin. She had a fleur de lis tummy tuck, got rid of ‘bingo wings’, had a boob lift, and removed excess skin from her thighs.Now fully recovered, Lisa is thrilled with her new look and told the Mirror she’s not shy about wearing “sexy little sets” of underwear anymore. She also said: “I had never been able to wear sexy underwear, before it was all just functional, mumsy bras and big knickers. Now I can wear little sexy sets. On the train from Manchester to London, the old me would have had a coffee, baguette, red wine, crisps, and a cake. Now I plan my meals and order a sparkling water, people can’t believe it.”

Princess Kate Shares Glimmer of Hope in Inspiring New Message

 

Princess Kate told the Irish Guards in a new letter that she hopes to be able to represent them again “very soon,” adopting a more optimistic tone about her future return to work.

 

The Princess of Wales has been off royal duties receiving chemotherapy for cancer and as a result she couldn’t attend the Colonel’s Review, a rehearsal for Trooping the Colour, King Charles III’s birthday military parade.

She wrote to the Irish Guards in her capacity as their colonel to apologize for not being there to take the salute.

Kate’s use of the phrase “very soon” in the letter struck a more optimistic tone than the one she adopted during an announcement about her cancer diagnosis on March 22.

It may be tempting to interpret this as a sign her comeback may be approaching, but the palace has always been clear her actual return to work will have to wait until she is given the all-clear by doctors.

The choice of phrase is hopeful though—and it wouldn’t be unreasonable for fans of the princess to take comfort from it in the absence of a more concrete update.

Royal biographer Katie Nicholl, author of The New Royals, also said she believes Kate “has turned a corner,” during an appearance on Talk TV show The Royal Tea in May.

Jane began foot reading in 1999 and started teaching the techniques in 2003. In 2010 she was awarded honorary membership of the Association of Reflexologists for her outstanding services to reflexology

I had my feet read and it made me reflect on my life.

It occurred to me about halfway into my trip to Ormskirk that I might, in fact, have to show my feet to a stranger. Before anybody gets any ideas, I was making the journey to meet TV’s celebrity foot reader Jane Sheehan.

If you’re a fan of Loose Women, you may remember when Jane read the feet of the presenters, including Stacey Solomon and Kaye Adams. But that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of Jane’s career.

Jane has also featured on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show It Takes Two. Her book, Let’s Read Our Feet, is a number one best seller on Amazon.

Jane began foot reading in 1999 and started teaching the techniques in 2003. In 2010 she was awarded honorary membership of the Association of Reflexologists for her outstanding services to reflexology.

As the UK’s leading foot reader, or, as Jane put it, with a chuckle, “one of the top five in the world, I just don’t know what out of five,” she has been teaching her skills to reflexologists and other therapists for more than 20 years.

For those of you that don’t know, foot reading is a skill adopted by holistic therapists which they say helps them work with clients at a new level of understanding. Foot reading is said to reveal personality strengths and weaknesses, and highlights hidden potential and undervalued talents.

Upon arriving at the foot clinic, I was eager to know more about how feet are read. Luckily, Jane was really friendly and happy to explain more. She made it clear that language is key in foot reading – so you communicate properly with the person whose feet you’re reading.

She said: “If I look at your feet and say you’re rebellious, you may think one thing, but somebody else may think of something entirely different.” Each part of your foot says something different – for instance, the size of your right big toe might tell about your people skills. Even shoe choice can hint at whether you’re shy or outgoing.

At first, I thought I’d just show Jane photos of my feet. But after Jane explained foot reading details, plus a good old chin wag and being offered a cuppa, I decided to get the full experience. It wasn’t surprising when Jane noticed that I’m sensitive and insecure, as well as finding handling many tasks simultaneously quite hard.

You might remember me mentioning before, I got diagnosed with ADHD in 2023. Many insights Jane came up with linked back to this, I mused, and she could see from my expression she was spot on.

Getting your feet looked at by someone might seem a bit odd, but Jane made me feel so comfortable. She told me that I am a person who loves deeply, but worries too much.

Jane also had tarot cards to show me (

No credit)Sometimes people don’t always agree with what Jane sees from studying their feet. That’s why she mostly goes with her feelings rather than getting very specific. She can read aspects of your personality and behaviour, but not predict the future.

Having my feet read was an amazing experience. After Jane finished studying my feet, she also did a little bit of tarot card reading for me. A beautiful card with a fairy told me to “be honest with myself.”

I really felt differently after having my foot reading. Jane was very nice and professional, and some of the things she said really struck a chord with me. It surprised me how much a foot reading could make me think about my life. I highly recommend giving it a go.

If you want to try this mind-blowing foot reading for yourself, you can join Jane’s workshop in Liverpool from February 3 to February 4. You can buy tickets on www.footreading.com.

Meghan Markle Makes Bold Statement with New Alias in Freshly Launched Website

On Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new website, the Duchess, who stayed home when her husband rushed to his father, King Charles’ side, seemingly adopted a particular British Royals practice.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently launched a new website, transitioning from the Sussex Royal URL handle to simply Sussex. Despite stepping back from official royal duties, they continue to use their titles, Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The website includes a section designed to offer the public more insight into their lives and work.

Notably, Meghan’s page introduces her using only her first name, omitting her family name. This decision reflects a common practice among British Royals, who are frequently referred to by their first names and titles.

Meghan’s narrative on the site includes her upbringing, painting a picture of her journey from a young South California girl to the influential figure she is today. The page also featured her advocacies for women, mental health, gender equality, and family care.

Meghan’s impact and recognition are also highlighted through her inclusion in various world rankings, marking her as a notable figure on the global stage.

Now residing in California as a mother of two, Meghan and Harry have embarked on a new chapter away from their roles as senior members of the British Royal Family. Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whose names are emblematic of their continued connection to Harry’s heritage, are a significant part of their lives in America.

Following their move, the couple launched the Archewell Foundation and introduced the podcast “Archetypes,” initiatives that underline their ongoing commitment to public service and discourse.

Meghan’s details are available on the Royal Family’s official website, though it offers limited information about her advocacies and activities. It mentions that she and her husband have stepped back as senior members, stating, “The Duchess will continue to support various charitable causes and organizations that align with her longstanding interests, including the arts, education access, women’s support, and animal welfare.”

Recently, in light of King Charles’ recent cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry returned to London to be by his father’s side. However, Meghan Markle decided to stay in America during this period.

The reasons behind Meghan’s choice to remain in America, while not confirmed were revealed by the King’s former butler, Grant Harrold.

“Meghan made the decision that it was best to stay home with the children, and maybe she feels that this is something Harry has got to do alone,” he said. “It’s his father. She’s aware of the close relationship and probably encouraged him to come over.”

As previously reported on February 13:

Since stepping back from royal duties and moving to America, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal-related actions have been scrutinized. Their recent website launch, has drawn attention for maintaining their royal titles on the landing page.

This move has sparked debates on Twitter, with some users questioning the necessity of these titles for the couple’s work and others calling for the titles to be removed, highlighting their disconnection from the monarchy.

Upon entering their new website, internet users are greeted with the line “THE OFFICE OF PRINCE HARRY & MEGHAN THE DUKE & DUCHESS OF SUSSEX.” Some frustrated social media users took their sentiments to Twitter and aired their thoughts.

“Question for the #SussexSquad weren’t y’all insisting that Harry & Meghan DO NOT NEED royal titles yet launched a website with exactly that?? #PATHETIC The Office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex” one tweet read.

“They hold no official offices, they are not connected to the monarchy or the royal family with their work in any way,” another Twitter user pointed out.

“They need their titles removed from them,” a third protested, highlighting how Prince Harry and Meghan are profiting through the royal titles without honoring the royal family.

A fourth person wondered if it was legal for those who have left their royal duties to still hold the same title. “They have gotten away with too much already,” the person tweeted.

The new website features information about the couple, recent news, and links to their Archwell Foundation and Archwell Productions websites, differing from their former website’s focus on the three topics: supporting the community, serving the Monarchy, and strengthening the Commonwealth.

Most recently, Prince Harry flew to London after his father’s cancer diagnosis was revealed publicly. Meanwhile, his wife stayed home in California to take care of their two children.

Actress Diane Parish once played a very different EastEnders character before taking on the role as Denise Fox in the soap, as she admitted she found it ‘excruciating’

The actress has played her legendary character since 2006 and has become a fan favourite. She has been involved in huge storylines over the years from a string of failed romances to faking her own death. Denise is currently dealing with the fallout of the Christmas Day murder as she buried Keanu Taylor’s body under the cafe alongside the rest of The Six.

However, it turns out Denise is not the first character Diane has played on the BBC soap. Back in 1998, the actress played singer Lola Christie, who was introduced as Mick McFarlane’s girlfriend. Diane has since revealed the character just wasn’t for her and found it “excruciating”.

Speaking on the TV programme Secrets of The Square, Diane said: “It was the most excruciating role. I don’t sing, I’m not a singer and it was horrible! Oh, it was awful. I remember Patsy Palmer came up to me at one point and she goes: ‘Oh don’t worry, it sounds really good, don’t worry about it’. I thought: ‘It don’t, Patsy!’”

Diane, who only played Lola for a year, added: “She goes: ‘No, it’s really good, it is!’ She’d just be so positive. The role wasn’t for me.” She went on to take roles in Holby City and DC Eva Sharpe in ITV drama The Bill. Dianne appeared on the show from 2002 to 2004 and starred alongside her future EastEnders husband Scott Maslen as DS Phil Hunter.

The actress scooped up the Royal Television Society’s Best Actress award in 2001, for her critically acclaimed role in TV series The Babyfather. Yet in 2006 she received a call from EastEnders bosses about playing Denise. Away from TV screens, Denise is a proud mother to two children; daughters Kaya and Kenya.

When asked if she would ever consider having more children in the future, she told The Mirror: “No way! I’ve shut up shop. I’m done. I’m no spring chicken, you know. I feel very fortunate for having my lovely little girls. We’re a very happy family.” She shares her two children with her ex-husband Sebastian Parish, an IT specialist. Denise is generally quiet about her private life but revealed during an appearance on Loose Women in 2018 that she had split from Sebastian.

The actress explained that her marriage had been crumbling the last time she had featured on the ITV talk show, and she set the record straight when she returned as a guest on the show. She told the panellists: “The last time I was here, I sort of got a bit ambushed with [questions about marriage] and, for the sake of my children, I didn’t want to go into the break up with me and their father, and I’m usually quite a private person.

“I just wanted to protect my daughters by not discussing that, and I’ve been single quite a long time, I’ve been having fun, but I have now met the man of my dreams.” Denise met then-boyfriend Gerry Zucarello in 2017 and announced their engagement a year later.

Lady Colin Campbell Reportedly Calls Prince Harry Pathetic in Her New Book

Lady Colin Campbell has just published a book about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In the book, the Jamaican-born British author reportedly named the Duke of Sussex “pathetic.”

As reported by Daily Mail, Campbell has written the new tell-all book, “Meghan and Harry: The Real Story,” in spite of the fact that it is not known whether she has ever met the royal couple.

The book ventures to such an extreme as to claim that Harry is “pathetic” on the grounds that he has allegedly permitted the Duchess of Sussex to cost him a lot of lifelong friendships.

MARKLE’S ENCOUNTER WITH A GIRL

Campbell claimed an insider disclosed to her that during the wedding ceremony of Charlie Van Straubenzee, Harry’s best friend, to Daisy Jenks, Markle “froze out” other visitors at the event.

“A girl went up to Meghan, introduced herself, and said how beautiful she thought she was,” Campbell wrote. “She said she knew it was Meghan’s birthday and wished her a happy birthday.”

The author added that Markle just looked at the young lady as though she “had committed a great faux pas” by conversing with her, and afterward the Duchess walked off.

REALLY RUDE

Campbell claimed that somebody who witnessed the incident said Markle was extremely impolite. Another source told Campbell that more awful was to follow at the wedding breakfast.

Campbell wrote that another girl approached Markle to tell her how much she respected her. The girl also told the Duchess how great she thought she was that she and Harry were hitched.

The book also alleged that the Duchess asked to use an emerald and diamond tiara.

MARKLE’S DEMANDS

“Meghan’s response?” Campbell added, “She looked her up and down, turned away without saying a word her out for the rest of the wedding breakfast.”

Meanwhile, as reported by Page Six, Campbell also claimed that strains initially started between the royals when Markle demanded that she be able to don white to her wedding, even though palace officials had requested her to pick cream.

Thus, Prince Philip reportedly named Markle “Tungsten.” The book also alleged that the Duchess asked to use an emerald and diamond tiara.

According to the outlet, Campbell called Markle “a total opportunist.” The author also called Harry “weaker” than his wife and that she will make his life sorrowful since he has no strength of character to abandon her.

As reported by Inquistr, Harry and Markle have not released any comment about the book. Meanwhile, the couple reportedly signed a public speaking deal with the agency, which represents both the Clintons and the Obamas.
