Meghan Markle reportedly ‘won’t be pleased’ after her father sent his support to King Charles, according to a royal expert.

King Charles is stepping down from his royal duties for the time being after he was diagnosed with cancer, reports the Express. Many people have sent their well-wishes to the monarch following this saddening news – including Thomas Markle.

Thomas told the Daily Mail: “I want to send my best wishes to King Charles and hope he gets well very soon. I wish him all the good wishes in the world.”

The Duchess of Sussex is unlikely to be rather impressed by her dad’s comments given how damaged their relationship has become. Speaking to the Daily Mirror, PR expert Ryan McCormick said: “I would imagine that Meghan would not be pleased at her father making a public gesture of well wishes to Charles.

“This doesn’t make the Duchess of Sussex look good and it re-hashes Markle’s dirty laundry pertaining to family affairs.”

Meghan’s relationship with her father has been strained since 2018 after Thomas staged paparazzi photos before the Sussexes’ wedding He then agreed to multiple interviews to the media and released a private letter from his daughter to the press as well.

In 2020, Thomas made a documentary called ‘Thomas Markle: My Story’, in which he was extremely critical of his daughter. Harry also doesn’t have a particularly great relationship with his father either after he exited from his royal duties in 2020.

The Duke did indeed travel to the UK to see his father following the news of his cancer diagnosis.

Everyone in the combat community loves and respects Mike Tyson. Although the legendary boxer has faced his share of difficulties in life, be it legal, financial or personal, nothing has deterred him from rising above and creating a new version of himself. Tyson has led a life that one might call ‘controversial’ but the fact that he is still equipped with the skills to defeat most fighters is undeniable.

Hollywood actor Michael Jai White has sparred with UFC HW Jon Jones and the former HW Francis Ngannou, among others. The fighter, who has played the lead in movies like Never Back Down: No Surrender and Blood and Bone, among others, had once opened up on a potential fight against boxing legend, Iron Mike Tyson.

Confident of a win over Mike Tyson? Michael Jai White shares his opinion on a hypothetical fight

In an interview with djvlad on YouTube, Michael Jai White once discussed how he would react if he got called up for a hypothetical fight against one of boxing’s greatest sons – Mike Tyson.

The interviewer pointed out that White and Mike Tyson were ‘roughly’ of the same age, height, and weight. The interviewer asked Michael Jai White if he would accept an opportunity to box with Mike Tyson for an exhibition match.

“Yeah, of course! To box Mike Tyson? I would love that!“, replied White, beaming with excitement, almost astounded at the question.

The interviewer was in disbelief and tried to remind White that he was making the claim for the whole world to see.

“Of course, what would… how… why would I not do something like that? Like why would I not?“, reiterated White, visibly confused by the interviewer’s question.

The second question that he was asked was if he thought he could win against Tyson.

A supremely confident Michael Jai White answered saying, “Yeah, of course, I think I would win.“.

A Bad Review – When Mike Tyson trashed Michael Jai White’s role in ‘Tyson’

Michael Jai White played the role of Mike Tyson in the 1995 film, ‘Tyson’, which showed the story of the boxer. Tyson, apparently, was not very happy with the movie and had called it ‘garbage’ at some point. The film didn’t do well commercially either.

White had also recounted an encounter with Mike Tyson where he squared up with him. Apparently, Mike Tyson was joking when he started jostling around with White at a Comic Con.

Meghan Markle mysteriously wears ‘different’ ring to one Prince Harry proposed with

Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex got engaged in 2017 in Kensington Palace’s north garden before stepping down as senior royals in 2020.

Meghan Markle appears to be wearing a different engagement ring to the one Prince Harry first proposed to her with back in November 2017 after he popped the question at Kensington Palace around seven years ago now.

The Duke of Sussex reportedly asked the former Suits actress to be his wife on a blanket in Kensington Palace’s north garden, surrounded by electric candles. However the Duchess appears to be wearing a now different ring.

The original two diamond ring Harry gave her when he proposed to his now wife featured precious stones which came from his late mother Princess Diana’s collection and one from Botswana.

They sat beautifully on the rings thick gold band, but it appears the piece of jewellery has been significantly redesigned and the diamonds now take residence and a much thinner band.

However it’s unclear according to the Mirror when and where the alteration took place – if it was whilst the former working royals resided in the UK or after they dropped their royal duties and moved across to the US.

Meghan wears her engagement ring alongside her wedding ring which is made from Welsh gold as is traditional for royal women.

Elsewhere, Harry has made a whirlwind visit back to the UK to visit his dad King Charles for the first time in nine months after they put aside the ongoing royal feuds in the light of the monarch’s cancer news.

Upon finding out his cancer diagnosis, Charles reportedly called both his sons Harry and William to deliver the news to them personally – as well as his siblings the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and the Duke of Edinburgh.

It is believed Harry agreed to delay his visit to the UK until a public announcement was made by Buckingham Palace on Monday which confirmed King Charles will be undergoing specialist treatment for cancer, which the form of which has not been made public knowledge.

Princess of Wales’ uncle says he will ‘set the record straight’ and ‘give the Middleton family a voice’ amidst the revelations released by Harry and Meghan, a royal source has claimed

A Royal Family insider has said that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are worried about a forthcoming ‘bombshell’ memoir by the Princess of Wales’ uncle.

Gary Goldsmith – the younger brother of Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton – is preparing to reveal “private family details”, and will use this as an opportunity to give the Middleton family “a voice” in the midst of accusations and criticism levelled at the House of Windsor by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The source said Gary aims to “set the record straight” in the form of a “comeback” account almost a year since the release of the Sussexes’ explosive tell-all Netflix docuseries and Prince Harry ’s book Spare, both of which dropped several bombshells about the Royal Family.

They said: “When Harry was originally compiling his book, his publisher was confident William wouldn’t comment, because it wouldn’t be fitting for a future King to do so. Harry wouldn’t have anticipated such a comeback from Kate’s family. He and Meghan won’t like it one bit and will be dreading the book’s release.”

Gary, 58, first spoke about penning his memoir back in 2013, and while he initially stressed he wouldn’t reveal secrets that might embarrass his royal niece or her husband, both 41, it appears he has since decided against that stance.

According to OK, the source added: “Gary has been talking to the press a lot lately and his comments seem to have gone down well with some people, especially his criticism of Harry and Meghan. He did originally plan to focus the book on himself and his journey to becoming a millionaire, but he will now add in some private family details.”

Although it is likely there will be some shock revelations released, Gary, who has made a £30 million fortune through his IT recruitment business, will have Carole and Kate look over the manuscript before it gets passed on to the publisher.

They explained: “Gary is still very close to both Carole and Kate. He won’t want to do anything that will embarrass them, but it could be a good way of putting a Middleton voice out there to set the record straight over some of the things Harry wrote about in Spare.”

The self-titled six-part TV series released in December last year by Harry, 39 and Meghan, contained an accusation that his brother had betrayed his trust by releasing stories to the press. He also claimed William had reportedly screamed and shouted at him during a meeting about his and Meghan’s decision to quit as senior royals.

Harry also claimed many of the men in his family married “someone who would fit the mould as opposed to somebody who you are perhaps destined to be with”, which was interpreted by many as him having another go at his brother.

And it won’t just be Harry who is caught off balance by Gary’s memoir, with the source claiming Meghan, 42, is likely to be just as blindsided. They said: “Meghan won’t be expecting Kate’s family to get back at her. She’s very aware that the royals ‘never complain, never explain’ as the saying goes.”

One story in Spare proved to be seismic, with Harry claiming William had “knocked me to the floor” during a showdown at his and Meghan’s London home in 2019. He also claimed Kate had made Meghan cry over Princess Charlotte’s flower-girl dress just days before the Sussexes’ wedding in 2018.

Gary said: “This made me see red. How dare Harry share such a confidence involving a young child?” He added that he thought Meghan was jealous of Kate because she makes her royal role “look effortless”.

The source added: “Certain people applauded the comments Gary made about Harry and Meghan so there won’t be too much resistance to him including similar sentiments in his book.”

And it is thought that any shocking issues he reveals could harm the Sussexes’ future career prospects. “If the stories in Gary’s book are revelatory, it could have a major impact on Harry and Meghan,” the source said.

However, Gary hasn’t been one to shy away from the limelight or his own lurid headlines since his niece found love in 2002 either. In a 2009 newspaper sting he was apparently caught cutting up cocaine for a prostitute at his villa in Ibiza. And it was reported the businessman had recently been rejected by ITV bosses for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! as being “too much of a risk”.

Tyson Fury got back to reality as he helped his wife Paris with a food shop at their local branch of Tesco Express in Morecambe on Friday.

The Gypsy King, 35, is back in the UK in his Lancashire hometown following his first professional defeat at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk last week in Saudi Arabia.

The boxer cut a casual figure in a sports T-shirt and shorts as he carried one of his daughters under his arm while also juggling a shopping bag filled with food.

Tyson rocked a white baseball cap backwards and a black gilet as he followed Paris back to their car.

Loose Women star Paris, 34, rocked a black hoodie and a pair of matching cropped tracksuit bottoms as she carried a loaf of bread and a bag of shopping.

Another of the couple’s young children was seen wearing a school uniform and pink coat as she ran to their family car.

Tyson and Paris are proud parents to seven children, Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, five, and Athena, two, Prince Rico, eight months.

The Furys have lived in the seaside town since 2011 and as Paris has previously said they are now ‘part of the local fabric’.

Residents are used to seeing her shopping to feed her brood, with her being spotted pushing two trolleys in Aldi or Asda as she stocks up on the mountains of food they get through each week.

It comes after Tyson was handed a one-week ban from boxing following his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last weekend.

The athlete suffered his first professional defeat at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk, losing split decision after the judges scored the bout 115-112, 113-114, 114-113.

It meant that Usyk became the first boxer since Lennox Lewis in 1999 to unify the heavyweight division after taking the WBC title off Fury, which was added to his WBA (Super), WBO, IBF and IBO titles.

Fury was in big trouble on the ropes at one stage of the fight with many arguing that the referee could have stopped it.

It has been revealed that the UAE Boxing Commission gave him a rather meaningless one-week medical suspension which meant that he would not have been allowed to fight until this weekend.

The Brit suffered nothing more than cuts and bruising from the brutal 12-round contest.

Usyk, who had to be taken to hospital after the fight due to fears over a broken jaw, is not allowed to compete until June 2.

Fury and Usyk look set to run it back later this year with promoter Frank Warren confirming his fighter’s intention to activate his rematch clause.

‘There will be a rematch,’ Warren said. ‘I think it will be better than the original fight.’

‘They both know each other, they’ve shared the ring and they’ll be looking to use what they’ve gained from the fight as an advantage to beat their opponent.’

Tyson Fury will have to wait until four days before Christmas for his dollar-laden rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

The betting odds are already stacking against Santa Claus delivering unto the Gypsy King revenge as a festive gift.

But the delay from the original date of October 12 to December 21 will be seen in some quarters as giving Fury an extra ten weeks to recover from the monstrous ninth round beating he took in their first fight which was crucial to Usyk becoming the first undisputed world heavyweight champion for a quarter of a century.

An underlying reason for the change in timing, however, is that another epic fight will give the Saudi Arabian paymasters a spectacular opening to the next Riyadh Season of sports, culture and star-studded entertainment events in the capital.

Hence His Excellency AlAlSikh had no need to announce the venue when he confirmed the date.

Tyson Fury ready for a rematch after losing against Usyk

In his post on X, Turki Alalshikh wrote: ‘The rematch between the Undisputed Champion Oleksandr Usyk and the Champion Tyson Fury is now scheduled on the 21 of December 2024 during Riyadh Season.

‘The world will watch another historical fight again…Our commitment to boxing fans continues…We hope you enjoy it..’

One thing that won’t alter appreciably is the division of the booty. The terms of the rematch were set in the original contracts for two fights, with Fury the great showman the A-side ticket and pay-TV attraction.

While he banked an estimated £100 million earlier this month, Usyk settled for £35 million. Poor chap!

While there may be somewhat of an adjustment in recognition of Usyk now owning all the belts, the percentages will still weigh heavily in Fury’s favour.

Nor is it likely that Usyk will still be undisputed by the time they fight again.

While the Ukrainian hero will still hold the WBC, WBA and WBO titles, the IBF are threatening to give Anthony Joshua a route back to their championship in a Wembley fight this September against the winner of this Saturday’s bout in Ryadh between Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois.

New photos of Meghan Markle surfaced in a controversial Australian special in which her estranged family are to discuss their fractured relationship

A throwback picture of Meghan Markle is thought to be an image she never wanted the world to see.

The image was released by her estranged family ahead of a 7NEWS Australia special. The image in question shows the former Suits star, 41, smiling while looking over shoulder at an unknown event.

The date of the throwback snap, which was shared on social media, was not revealed but she can be seen wearing a low-buttoned white collared shirt, while her hair was worn in a messy low bun. She appeared to have a napkin stuffed down her top in a bid to stop any slopping of the food dishes placed in front of her. The look divided users online as to whether it was a good idea or “lower class”.

Her beaming smile showed off her stunning pearly white teeth and the image was just one of many that the show focused on as her dad Thomas Markle, sister Samantha, and brother Thomas Jr sit down with the Aussie show.

Taylor Auerbach of 7News Spotlight shared the snap ahead of the show and said it was one of “the photographs Meghan Markle NEVER wanted to world to see” on social media. The show documented the family life Meghan shared growing up. The family were ready to discuss her relationship with Prince Harry as well as where she would be “without her dad”.

In the explosive trailer for the discussion, sister Samantha is heard saying: “She would still be a waitress if it wasn’t for dad,” she fumes. Discussing Meghan and Harry’s relationship, Samantha snapped: “They’re unhealthy for each other. This is a toxic relationship.” Half-brother Thomas Jr also said the family “won’t be going away” and urged Meghan to sit down with them to “change everything”.

Tyson Fury admits that the mighty blows with which Deontay Wilder kept knocking him down during their epic trilogy have taken years off his life.

The damaging effects of the brutal manner in which the Gypsy King eventually put the Bronze Bomber away have been more immediate.

Fury looked somewhat diminished in Riyadh when he struggled off the canvas to edge UFC legend Francis Ngannou. Again when Oleksandr Usyk beat him for the undisputed world heavyweight championship.

But Wilder looked drained in the Saudi capital when out-pointed by Joseph Parker. Back in Riyadh late this Saturday night he looked totally empty. Not only physically but mentally.

Worse still, he found himself to be no longer the biggest puncher since Mike Tyson.

Wilder was sent to the canvas by Zhilei Zhang’s powerful right hook in the fifth round of the Saudi contest

China’s Zhilei Zhang not only beat Wilder but also relieved him of the ‘Biggest Bang’ distinction with a giant knockout right hook in the fifth round.

At 38, the game is up for Wilder. He contributed to his own demise by wandering off into Costa Rica’s la la land of euphoric drugs before boxing Parker like a pacifist.

Then by issuing ludicrous threats of brain and spinal demolition against Zhang which he is now incapable of making good on.

The way he is glibly dismissed by many as just a one-punch wonder does him less than justice, since he knocked out everyone he faced before Fury, Parker and Zhang.

The man from Tuscaloosa sent shock waves through boxing for several years, thrilling the fans as he did so.

But any irresponsible talk of him taking on Anthony Joshua now is to be discouraged – for the good of however much of his health remains.

Meghan Markle’s ‘princess moment’ captured as she interacts with doting fan

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped back from the firm in 2020, moving across the world to Montecito, California and are currently embroiled in a bitter feud with the Royal Family.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been embroiled in a ‘feud’ with the Royal Family since they stepped back as senior royals in 2020.

However, things between the now-estranged couple and the Firm weren’t always so tense.

The Duchess of Sussex began seeing Prince Harry in 2016 after the pair met on a blind date, with the couple tying the knot in 2018.

Prior to the shock decision to step away from the Royal Family, the pair completed various royal engagements.

During these outings, Meghan met with doting crowds, with one resurfaced clip catching the attention of fans.

The former Suits actress had her very own princess moment when she met with a young fan at the Canadian High Commission in London in 2019.

As part of the annual Commonwealth Day celebrations, the Sussexes were invited to meet the high commissioner and attend a special church service at Westminster Abbey alongside other senior royals to mark the occasion.

In pictures seen on the Mirror, Meghan can be seen bent down to meet a young boy and a girl, who gifted her a bouquet of white flowers with the young boy also giving Meghan a little bow.

Sharing the clip on TikTok, one fan wrote: “She’s the cutest.” Other fans were also loving the sweet interaction and took to the comments to share their thoughts.

“I don’t care what anyone says I like them,” one person wrote with two heart emojis. Another said: “Meghan is so queenly I swear. UK must miss her. She has elegant and class.” A third fan commented: “Harry’s pride looking at all of that,” while someone else referred to the Duchess of Sussex as “Queen Meghan”.

Sadly, Harry and Meghan’s time in the Royal Family wasn’t to last and they announced their decision to step down in 2020.

Since then, the couple have issued a number of attacks against The Firm.

In their bombshell Netflix docuseries, Harry detailed the breakdown of his relationship with his brother Prince William and claimed the Prince of Wales left him terrified after he screamed and shouted at him during the Sandringham summit.

He also took aim at his dad, King Charles and discussed the tense Megxit crisis meeting held with the Queen in January 2020.

Tyson Fury’s US promoter Todd duBoef believes Naoya Inoue is head and heels above Oleksandr Usyk in class.

The Ukrainian slickster became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years last month when he defeated Fury via split decision in Saudi Arabia.

In doing so, he was crowned the third male two-weight undisputed champion of the four-belt era alongside Inoue and Terence Crawford – having previously unified the cruiserweight division in 2018.

The victory saw him shoot to the top of the coveted Ring Magazine pound-for-pound rankings.

But Duboef believes his client, Inoue, deserves to occupy the No. 1 spot.

“I think Naoya Inoue is the best in the world, Oleksandr Usyk is not even close,” the Top Rank President told talkSPORT.com.

“People have this infatuation with pound-for-pound but those rankings are easily moved by the last performance.

“If I showed you round five of Fury vs Usyk and I said ‘he’s the number one pound-for-pound guy’ you would go ‘What? How can he be number one, he’s being hit with every f***ing uppercut.

“‘His head is up his hands are down’ that’s my opinion. We haven’t really seen that with Inoue, I mean we saw a flash knockdown in his last fight but that was nothing.

“I’m not knocking Usyk but you did see him get hit by a body shot in the Dubois fight which people thought was controversial.

“I think Crawford is a terrific fighter but I think he offers a different game to what Inoue does.

“Inoue has masterfully conquered every division and takes on everyone.

“He has a confidence about him and the way he dismantles people is really unique.”

Inoue is currently ranked No.2 by the Ring Magazine with Crawford one place behind him.

The Japanese sensation defeated Marlon Tapales last December to become undisputed at super-bantamweight, one year removed from his reign of supremacy over the bantamweight division.

In June 2022, he became the first Japanese boxer to top the pound-for-pound ratings but has since slipped down the list despite continuing to bulldoze through his opposition.
