Duchess Sophie’s ‘gentle’ dig at Oprah after explosive Meghan Markle interview

Sophie hit out at the bombshell TV special in her own very understated way – whilst still managing to navigate royal protocol.

The Royal Family motto is never complain, never explain.

So it’s little wonder that frontline royals made little comment on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in 2021.

But the American TV special was littered with allegations which took aim at the Firm, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claiming they’d not been supported as they struggled with their mental health.

Harry also claimed his brother Prince William and King Charles were “trapped” inside the monarchy – and seemed to criticise his father’s parenting in subsequent interviews.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and Prince Edward’s wife, made her own subtle dig at the Sussexes’ appearance on the TV show in a very understated way.

Sophie and Edward joked by claiming “Oprah who?” when asked whether they had sat down and watched the Sussexes’ CBS chat.

Sophie then added: “Yes, what interview?”

This was followed up when Sophie then admitted there was “no reason to know who” the US chat show legend was.

She was criticised at the time by some on social media as the 59-year-old visited the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in 2013.

Sophie visited the course and its students in Meyerton, South Africa, as part of a week-long visit to the country with her husband Edward.

Trending

Sophie’s remark came up after the couple were quizzed about a moment when Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, had a long conversation with Oprah – but was unaware of who she was during their chat.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Sophie defended the Archbishop, adding: “You know, if you’re not into chat shows, there’s no reason why you should know who she is.

“Certainly not in this country, anyway.”

During the same interview, Sophie discussed Harry’s return to the UK following the death of his grandfather Prince Philip, so he could attend the funeral.

But Sophie said it was “nice” to see the Duke of Sussex and the pair had a “lengthy chat” upon his return.

It appears that relations between the brothers are as frosty as ever – snubbing an opportunity to put on a united front.

The pair attended the Diana Legacy Award event to pay tribute to their late mother – but the Duke of Sussex joined remotely from Montecito in California while the Prince of Wales delivered a speech in person to mark the charity’s 25th anniversary.

Denise Welch’s partner had to get involved to help her when a recent health scare had her screaming like a wounded animal as she battled the pain of vertigo

Denise Welch was left “screaming like a wounded animal” after a recent health scare.

The Loose Women star has opened up about her battle with vertigo, explaining how the “debilitating” condition affects her day to day life. Whilst her symptoms have eased as of late, Denise recalled how the illness left her struggling.

Speaking on the show today, she said: “I’ve had it for about 15 years. My sister has it. They say it’s not hereditary, but she has it too. It feels like you are falling off the edge of something. So my normal vertigo would be that if I’m walking around, normally 90% of the time, I’ll be okay. But when I lie down at night, I go 1, 2, 3, 4, spin and it’s like a rollercoaster.

“It’s like when you used to get drunk, but without the fun getting there. That’s what it is. And then if I’d wake up in the night to go to the loo, I’d have to sit on the edge of the bed and hold the bed and it’s absolutely miserable.”

Denise went on to explain how vertigo affected her during a recent trip to New York.

“And last year in New York, I went to the airport early so that I could find some seats and lie down, it was so bad. It’s really, really debilitating. Anyway, I went to an ENT guy who sent me – this is after years of trying to get it done properly – went to an audiologist, check my hearing and said that was fine. And then it sounds pretty brutal, but we established it was mainly my right side.”

She added: “So Lincoln was with me. And he laid me down on the bed and he said, I’m going to put you backwards to the left, which he did, which was horrible, but not so bad. Then he sat me up and put me down to to to the right – they threw me backwards. First time, threw me backwards with my head to the left, then with my head to the right. Lincoln said I sounded like an a wounded animal.”

Denise ended up missing her stint on the show as she was so poorly, but since that meeting, she hasn’t got vertigo again. However, she did warn others to consult with their doctor before attempting something similar.

Speaking about that day, and her recovery since, she shared: “I was meant to be coming to get the train to come down to work that night. And I had to phone Ashley, our producer, and put Lincoln on. I was vomiting. I had to take the rest of the week off work. But then on the Friday, I woke up and it had gone. This is three months ago and I haven’t spun once.”

An iconic BBC comedy series has been re-commissioned and is set to make a global comeback 18 years after it was last on screen but the upcoming reboot comes with a twist

BBC comedy show The Kumars is set to make a global comeback after 18 years.

The show, which won the hearts of many viewers across the UK, has been commissioned by US network Fox and filming is due to take place in March. However, the current title has been changed to Meet The Kumars and the pilot will be filmed in March 13 at BBC Elstree Studios.

According to TV website Deadline the original cast including Sanjeev Bhaskar, Meera Syal and Vincent Ebrahim will reprise their roles but will also be joined by a new cast member, Shaheen Khan, who will play Rani, Sandjeev’s new stepmother. The description on the website read: “We all remember the Kumars and their only son Sanjeev’s dreams of being a famous chat show host. How his obliging parents bulldozed the garden at their modest family home to build him a TV studio and make his dreams come true, whilst also (along with his unconventional grandmother) insisting on embarrassing him in front of every guest.”

It added: “Yet over the years, the great and the good from the worlds of stage, screen and sport flocked to be on The Kumars’ show. And now, the mischievous family has returned! A little older, more experienced but none the wiser.” Those keen on being part of a live audience will be at the studios from 7pm until 9.45pm.

The comedy ran for seven series until 2006 from 2001 and won two international Emmy Awards in 2002 and 2003. Six years later, the show made a comeback and at that time the title changed from The Kumars at No.42 to simply The Kumars. In the second wave of the show, it showed the characters had moved out of their home into a flat in Hounslow.

Speaking about the show, Sanjeev said: “It’s incredibly exciting to revisit these warm, oddball characters and to be given the opportunity to bring them up to date. We’ve tried to retain what viewers loved about the original show and to inject new characters and elements in a slightly new format that we hope will appeal to an even broader audience.”

The show has been able to attract a host of high profile names including Jerry Hall, Amanda Holden, Michael Parkinson and Charlotte Church. In 2013, Hollywood star Hugh Jackman also made an appearance. And speaking about his appearance at that time Sanjeev said: “We’ve got these sketches that we do in the show now. Hugh Jackman has done one for us. Zoe Wanamaker’s done one for us as well.”

He added: “I asked him if he would do me a huge favour and shoot something. In the end he rather kindly, between filming scenes, came away and did a couple of things for us. So he’s a great guy.” But this is not the only thing Sanjeev is known for, he has also starred in the crime drama Unforgotten, which was dubbed the new Broadchurch. But when he appeared on Loose Women he told the panel that he filmed two different endings of the show – and was kept in the dark by the producer.

He revealed: “They filmed another shot at the end, and when I was doing ADR, which is a fancy way to say voiceover, I asked which one they’d used for that shot and the producer said ‘I’m not telling you’ so I don’t know.” Talking about the beginning of the six-part drama he continued: “In the first episode as we embark on this, there are questions that are thrown up, should we be investigating an old case and the limited resources. But at the end of the first episode we find a diary which leads us to these people of interest that carries through the rest of the series.”

Meghan Markle: ‘Huge problems looming’ for Duchess of Sussex says Lady Colin

MEGHAN MARKLE is a topic of conversation in Lady Colin Campbell’s new book which sees the royal biographer and TV personality open up on the “huge problems” that are looming for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex

Lady Colin Campbell, 70, spoke on the inspiration behind her latest book Meghan and Harry: The Real Story in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk. The British aristocrat “knew” she wanted to publish a book on the Sussex couple because there are “huge problems looming” and there is a “great story to be told”.

Lady Colin explained: “It is history in the making, and when I started the book last year I knew huge problems were looming with them.

“Through my royal friends and my palace connections. I knew there were huge problems with them.” (sic).

She further alleged that Meghan knew for a long time that she wanted to split her time between the UK and Los Angeles.

The TV personality continued: “Meghan wanted to live between California and Britain and [she] was already setting up commercial enterprises which were strictly forbidden for royalty.

“There were huge concerns that she was introducing politics into her activities which again are strictly forbidden for royals to do.

“So I knew that huge problems were looming and that there was a great story to be told.”

In order to create her book, Lady Colin met with a variety of sources, including members of the “Markle family”, who she hosted at her Castle Goring estate.

She revealed: “I have spoken to people who have known her all her life. I had members of the Markle family to stay at this castle.”

Although Lady Colin does not name who in particular stayed with her, soon Meghan could be facing her father Thomas in court.

After Thomas claimed back in January that he would “testify” in the trial about “things that have been said” about him by Meghan.

The duchess is currently suing Associated Newspapers for publishing a letter she sent to her dad, just before getting married.

According to court documents related to the case, as seen by the BBC, Meghan suffered “tremendous emotional distress” over the publication of her letter.

Kate Middleton and Prince William “going through hell”, claims stylist who worked with royal children

Kate Middleton and Prince William are struggling amidst the former’s battle with cancer, with a clothing designer who has styled the couple’s children going so far as to describe how they’re “going through hell”.

The Princess of Wales bravely revealed her cancer diagnosis to the public on March 22, following two months of speculation and conjecture as to her whereabouts and well being.

At the time of the shock announcement, few details were offered as to the specifics of her condition. The type of cancer she has remains unknown, for example, as does the stage she is in.

In truth, the general public haven’t been given much to go on of late to quell their natural curiosity as to how Kate might be getting on. While King Charles has been seen out and about as he undergoes treatment for his own cancer, Kate has been recovering well away from the flashing of cameras since the video in which she confirmed for the world that she was ill.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery,” Middleton said in the March clip.

“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”

“This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” Middleton said.

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.”

‘So painful to be hated like this’ Why do so many people dislike or distrust Meghan Markle : Prince Harry got emotional after he ,,..

 

Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle is reportedly in extreme pain by how she is being covered by the media. Prince Harry also revealed that once when he returned home, Markle was uncontrollably crying and said that she didn’t want to do this anymore.

 

“She was sobbing. Uncontrollably. My love, what’s happened? I thought for sure we’d lost the baby. I went to her on my knees. She choked out that she didn’t want to do this anymore. Do what? Live. I didn’t catch her meaning at first. I didn’t understand, maybe didn’t want to understand,” Prince Harry said in his book.

The Duke of Sussex said that she couldn’t process the words and the extreme amount of pain of being hated so much.

“My mind just didn’t want to process the words. It’s all so painful, she was saying. What is? To be hated like this—for what? What had she done? she asked. She really wanted to know. What sin had she committed to deserve this kind of treatment?” Meghan Markle said.

Prince Harry expressed that she just wanted to stop the pain not only for herself but for everyone.

“She just wanted to make the pain stop, she said. Not only for her but for everyone. For me, for her mother. But she couldn’t make it stop, so she’d decided to disappear,” Prince Harry continued.

The news came as the buzz around the couple is refusing to die down and the King Charles’s coronation was the latest reason for their media light. After some tussle within the Royal Family, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle are invited to the coronation, but their presence is still not confirmed.

Recently, a royal expert also claimed that the couple will also look towards earning money from the coronation event and maybe even film it for profit. “King Charles as a father would certainly like his youngest son there but let me tell you there has been no personal conversation between Charles for months, there’s been no contact with Prince William for longer than a few months now,” the royal expert said.

The late Queen warned daughter-in-law Camilla not to wear her elaborate feathered headpiece which nearly blew away at her wedding to Charles.

Camilla famously battled the wind to keep her headpiece in place as she and Prince Charles emerged from their civil marriage ceremony at Windsor Guildhall.

MailOnline can now disclose that she had frantic words with Charles on the steps of the hall, telling him of her fears that her feathers might fly away.

Details of their conversation emerged after a MailOnline lipreader viewed film of the couple’s wedding on April 9, 2005, and worked out what they were saying.

Analysis of the footage also revealed for the first time that the late Queen waded into the discussion and told her son: ‘I did warn her, wearing feathers.’

Camilla who was plain Mrs Parker-Bowles before her marriage to Charles which led to her becoming the Duchess of Cornwall, fortunately kept her headpiece in place.

She and Prince Charles then chatted briefly to members of the public outside the Guildhall before heading off to have their marriage blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

The footage taken outside the Guildhall showed the couple smiling as they emerged happily from their civil marriage ceremony as husband and wife.

But as they talked to one another and waved at the cheering crowd, they were battered by big gusts of wind.

The lipreader’s analysis revealed Charles told his bride: ‘Hold on tight’, only for a worried Camilla to reply: ‘I need you/too.’

Four seconds later, Charles apparently believes all will be well and exclaims: ‘All well done.’ Then, in a remark about the crowd, he says: ‘Everyone is coming; they are very curious.’

Camilla says: ‘Are they?’, and Charles replies reassuringly: ‘You made it down/now’ before sounding a note of caution due to the high wind, saying: ‘I’m not sure we should’ve.’

In a comment based on her apparent observation of the crowd, Camilla then exclaims: ‘They’re carrying on regardless.’

The Queen said in her speech: ‘My son is home and dry with the woman he loves’

Charles tries to reassure her, saying ‘We can have a long chat’ and Camilla replies: ‘Yes.’

The Queen is seen on footage joining the newlyweds and is greeted by Charles as she stands behind to Camilla’s left and speaks to her.

As the flustered bride tries to hold down her hairpiece, she turns to speak to The Queen, saying something like: ‘Oh my hair. I think the feathers are flying!’

The bemused Queen makes a quick response and then moves to stand directly behind her son and talks to him, as Charles says: ‘Oops’.

Camilla then says: ‘I wish I hadn’t had feathers’, and Charles jokes: ‘They look awful.’

It is at this point that the Queen interjects into the conversation, saying: ‘Feathers?’

Charles gently ribs his mother, saying: ‘Now you want to talk’ and the Queen joins in the humorous exchange, telling her oldest son: ‘Stop being so weak.’

But Charles is still intent on ribbing Camilla about her feathers and tells her: ‘You’re only going to poke my eye.’

Camilla replies: ‘If only they’d blow away… It really wasn’t a very good idea.’

Charles then tries to get things moving by telling his bride: ‘Let’s proceed’, just moments before the Queen tells him: ‘I did warn her, wearing feathers.’

Acting as if it was the first time he had learned that Camilla had ignored the Queen’s advice about headwear, Charles replies: ‘You did?’

Camilla was still clutching her feathered headpiece in the blowy weather as Charles said: ‘Let’s walk down’ and they made their way towards the crowd.

The lipreader analysis shows that the Queen turned to talk to Prince Philip, who was now standing beside her, saying: ‘We’re leaving immediately, it’s so windy.’

Meanwhile a beaming Camilla, wearing a pale blue chiffon gown with a golden embroidered long-sleeved coat over the top, chatted to well-wishers and shook some of their hands.

She and Charles continued happily talking to fans as The Queen and Prince Philip departed in their official car.

Camilla told one well-wisher: ‘Thank you very much’ and was told by a woman: ‘Oh, congratulations, Camilla, oh wonderful.’

More lipreader analysis showed both Charles and Camilla repeatedly saying: ‘Thank you very much’ as they greeted more spectators with conversation and laughter.

Camilla asks one fan: ‘Hello, how far did you come?’, while Charles inquires: ‘How are you?’

A few moments later, Charles reveals he is need of a post-wedding tipple, saying ‘More’ and tilting his hand as if to drink. He adds: ‘I could do with a drink, aww bless you.’

The couple continue to chat to one another, and the crowd as Prince Harry and Princess Anne start boarding a fleet of ‘Windsorian’ coaches.

Charles and Camilla look animated as they greeted an elderly silver-haired male well-wisher.

Camilla says: ‘Ah lovely, afternoon’, and Charles replies: ‘It was wonderful, very fitting, I must say it was something special.’

Charles adds: ‘Tell me something about yourself? Well… hope you rest after your operation; all the best.’ Camilla then wishes the man: ‘Goodbye’.

Camilla who is now Queen Camilla has suffered a string of problems with high winds interfering with her headgear during public appearances.

Last September she had to hold on to her beret-shaped Philip Treacy hat when it almost blew off on her arrival at Orly airport in Paris at the start of her and Charles’ official visit to France.

There were more problems when she braved blustery conditions outside Westminster Abbey for the Commonwealth Day Service in March last year.

Two hands were also needed to protect her headgear on a visit to the East Midlands in 2020.

Camilla was wearing another Philip Treacy hat matching her white outfit when she had to stop it flying off her head while welcoming President Donald Trump to Buckingham Palace in June 2019.

She had to hold on to her hat again at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in the same year.

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.
