MEGHAN MARKLE has been crowned the most academically intelligent member of the Royal Family, according to a recent study.

The Duchess of Sussex would earn the highest salary “in the real world” based solely on the degree she obtained from university.

 

Research, carried out by Erudera, estimated the incomes of each family member based on the degrees they received during their education.

A study last year by international education provider Oxford Royale also found that Meghan is the “most intelligent royal” and uses “her platform to raise awareness over serious world issues reflects her intelligence”.

Long before Meghan’s acting career, she studied at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in theatre and international relations.

Initially, it is believed the Duchess wanted to study English at Northwestern University but ended up double majoring in theatre and international relations at the prestigious Chicago institute.

During her studies, was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

Meghan also completed an internship at the American embassy in Buenos Aires and studied for one term in Spain.

According to Erudera’s research, Meghan would likely take home an annual salary of £39,357.

The company found Prince Charles, who studied Archaeology and Anthropology at Cambridge University, would be the second richest – earning a salary of around £37,359.

Meanwhile, Prince William is said to be just behind his father with a salary of around £34,539.

He earned a degree in Geography from St Andrews University, where he met Kate.

The heir to the throne also took a gap year.

He graduated in 2005 with a 2:1 in geography.

Kate, who also attended St Andrews, left with a master’s degree in history of art.

The study suggests she would be the sixth highest paid royal, with an annual salary of around £33,282.

At the bottom of the list would be Peter Phillips, the eldest child and only son of Princess Anne, whose estimated average income would be £30,418.

He studied Sports Science at the University of Exeter.

Prince Harry, who did not attend university, was not included in the study, which is made up of a top 10.

Unlike his older brother, Harry chose to skip university and instead went to Sandhurst, which is a royal military academy in England.

 

Kate Middleton’s ‘strict instruction’ from Prince William to Harry revealed by lip reader

Prince William and Kate Middleton were seen chatting with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after a service for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, with a lip reader revealing what the brothers said to one another.

In recent years, sightings of Prince William and Prince Harry together at Royal events have been few and far between.

However, in June 2022, nearly two years ago, the feuding brothers managed to set their differences aside to pay tribute to their late grandmother, the Queen, during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

This marked Harry and his wife Meghan’s first public appearance at a Royal event since they stepped down from Royal duties, reports the Mirror.

Despite uniting for the occasion, the brothers were seated a considerable distance apart and were not observed conversing or even standing next to each other. The strained service was also attended by William’s wife, Kate.

Following the service, the couple were spotted engaging in conversation on the cathedral steps as they awaited their car to transport them to a lunch reception at the Guildhall. A lipreader has now disclosed what he believes they said during this exchange, which included a distinct directive from William to Kate.

Lip reading expert John Cassidy suggests that upon exiting onto the steps, Kate commented on the service, stating: “It went very well, very well”, to which William responded: “Yes, perfect.”

Subsequently, William was seen greeting the crowd with a wave and, according to Mr Cassidy, the prince then instructed Kate: “Wait for that to move, then we can go.”

Meanwhile, a body language expert who observed the Royal brothers at the same event has suggested that Prince William gave Prince Harry “the opposite of an acknowledgement” and used a “barrier gesture”. Body language specialist Judi James spoke to the Mirror about William’s actions as he and Kate passed by the pew where Harry was seated on their way to their seats.

Judi described: “Harry looked firmly resigned to the back row here and was not sitting behind his brother as he was for the last service of remembrance. “Harry’s expression did suggest some relief as he joked with Zara as he searched for his car on the way out and he threw a wide, open-mouthed grin in her direction from the pews, but otherwise he fell into a haunted eye expression with some rapid blinking to suggest inner anxiety, leaning in and down to Meghan when she spoke as though keen to get some support.

“There was the opposite to an acknowledgement from William as he walked past Harry’s row during the parade out of the service. Sucking in his lips and with his chin pulled up in a gesture of resolve he appeared to turn his head in the other direction for a moment, raising his order of service high in a barrier gesture.”

Following the Jubilee in summer 2022, Princes William and Harry found themselves united once more due to the passing of their beloved grandmother, the Queen. Alongside their wives, Kate and Meghan, they participated in a joint walkabout in Windsor, acknowledging floral tributes and greeting throngs of well-wishers.

However, despite this apparent temporary ceasefire, it seems their relationship has further soured in the wake of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix series and Harry’s contentious memoir, ‘Spare’.

 

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle anticipate sweet gesture from royals on special day

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be anticipating an olive branch from royal family in the form of a heartfelt wish.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary on Sunday, May 19.

Speaking to Fruity Slots, former royal butler Grant Harrold reflected on the couple’s potential plans to celebrate over half a decade of togetherness.

“Celebrations will probably be behind closed doors, maybe a dinner party with some friends or maybe just the two of them,” he shared.

“Maybe they’ll recreate that roast chicken dinner they had on the night they got engaged at their cottage in Windsor.”

The former palace staff also dished on royal family’s tradition to wish one another on their special days, noting, it could prove to be a way for the two parties to get one step closer toward healing their rift.

“Typically, the Royal Family do acknowledge wedding anniversaries, we usually see social media posts so it’ll be interesting to see if that happens this year,” Grant explained

“If they don’t, once again it goes to show the ongoing division. If it does happen, then I see that as an olive branch,” he suggested.

Meghan Markle slammed by Nigeria’s First Lady over stars flaunting ‘nakedness, everywhere’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Nigeria earlier this month and it seems their trip is still causing a stir, with the Duchess of Sussex being slammed for outfit choices

Meghan Markle has been heavily criticised by the First Lady of Nigeria for flaunting her “nakedness everywhere” during her recent visit to the African country.

The Duchess of Sussex spent three days in Nigeria earlier this month, where she was accompanied by her husband Prince Harry. Meghan made a number of outfit changes during the trip and it seems her fashion was taken as an insult by First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

She gave a speech at an event to mark President Bola Tinubu’s one year in office. During the talk, the First Lasy spoke about how women have made significant contributions to society and made a sly dig about Meghan.

Addressing the crowds, she said: “The message here is we have to salvage our children. We see the way they dress. They keep forgetting that Nigeria, we are beautiful. You can see what they showcase on the stage, I said, ‘We are fashionable, we see what is going on’.

“We are not having the Met Gala. And everyone, the nakedness, is just everywhere and the men are well-clothed. So we have to do something. Tell them we don’t accept nakedness in our culture. That is not beautiful. It’s not beautiful at all.

“And they’re all beautiful girls, but they should be confident in who they are. They do not want to mimic and try to emulate film stars from America. They don’t know where they come from. Why did Meghan come here looking for Africa? That is something we have to take home with. We know who we are. Don’t lose who you are.”

A clip of the speech has been shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, with one person writing: “Meghan Markle managed to create an international incident! We warned her about the clothes.” Another said: “I agree with the First Lady.”

A third person posted: “She should really respect other people culture and should apologise to the country.” However, others didn’t believe the First Lady was actually hitting out at the Duchess of Sussex.

One person wrote: “The message is not for her. Stop giving yourself a headache because of her,” while another said: “She’s talking about Nigerian girls dressing like the Kardashians. She even said look at Meghan that came here, implying even M was interested in the country. She was talking in praise. Letting girls know they can be proud of their country. Stop twisting het words.”

Meghan spent a lot of money on her outfits (

Meghan wore a lot of different outfits and accessories in Nigeria, spending almost £120,000 on jewellery and new clothes. She wore a number of high-end brands on the trip, including Carolina Herrera, Altuzarra, and Johanna Ortiz.

The decision has been criticised by some given the extreme levels of poverty in Nigeria, where more than 112million people are living in poverty. The inequality is not caused by a lack of resources, with Nigeria being the largest economy in Africa, but instead by those in charge being out of touch with the struggles of everyday people.

The poverty in Nigeria is due to the misallocation of resources, with political corruption adding to the struggles. In one example of poverty in Nigeria, the amount of money the richest Nigerian man can earn annually from his wealth is sufficient to save 2million people from poverty.

King Charles’ strange nickname for Meghan Markle revealing true feelings about duchess

Members of ‘the Firm’ are known for often bestowing some unusual nicknames on one another – and it seems King Charles has his own for Meghan Markle.

Meghan Markle has had a very public ongoing feud with the royal family since she – and Prince Harry – decided to step down as working royals in 2020.

According to reports, her relationship with King Charles could be one of the rockiest within ‘the Firm’, as the monarch’s bond with his son and daughter-in-law is believed to be near rock bottom.

However, their relationship hasn’t always been fragile, with the King initially said to have been blown away when he first met Harry’s then-girlfriend, reports the Mirror.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex got married on May 19 2018, and at the time, Charles agreed to accompany Meghan down the aisle – as her own father was unable to attend the ceremony.

Prior to their wedding, a royal insider came forward to reveal the special nickname the-then Prince of Wales had bestowed on his future daughter-in-law.

According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, who penned the book The New Royals, Charles reportedly admired Meghan’s strength of character and gave her a very fitting nickname.

Nicholl wrote: “Charles reportedly nicknamed his future daughter-in-law ‘Tungsten’ because of her toughness and resilience.”

A source told the Mail on Sunday at the time: “Prince Charles admires Meghan for her strength and the backbone she gives Harry, who needs a tungsten-type figure in his life as he can be a bit of a softy. It’s become a term of endearment.”

And whilst it may be a slightly more bizarre nickname given to one of the members of the royal family, it isn’t the strangest.

The late Queen had a range of nicknames that were used by her nearest and dearest, from ‘cabbage’ and ‘sausage’ to ‘Gan Gan’ and even ‘Lilibet’ – but there is one pet name that tops all of these.

According to the Daily Mail, while a young Prince William was playing at Buckingham Palace, he wandered off and called out for help. But instead of shouting for ‘Granny’, he called for ‘Gary’- much to the confusion of everyone present.

The column reports: “A guest who went to help asked who Gary was, assuming it must be a member of the royal household. ‘I’m Gary,’ responded the Queen. ‘He hasn’t learned to say Granny yet.’”

William was also given numerous nicknames over the years.

In 1983, at 10 months old, he joined his parents on his first royal tour to Australia. While he was there it was revealed that his mother had started calling him ‘Wombat’.

In an NBC interview in 2007, William admitted to being stuck with the name, “I can’t get rid of it now,” he said. “It began when I was two. I’ve been rightfully told because I can’t remember back that far, but when we went to Australia with our parents, and the wombat, you know, that’s the local animal, so I just basically got called that, not because I look like a wombat, or maybe I do.”

Here’s Why Princess Charlotte is Prince William’s Perfect Mini-Me, Not Princess Catherine’s
In a recent photograph, royal fans have noticed a striking resemblance between Princess Charlotte and her father, Prince William.

From her bold smile to her spirited personality, she has become a beloved figure in the British royal family, endearing herself to the public and drawing parallels to her father in numerous ways.

Her expressions and mannerisms often mirror those of Prince William, making their bond even more apparent.

From the moment Princess Charlotte of Wales was born on May 2, 2015, royal watchers and the general public alike have commented on her physical likeness to Prince William.

Her features, including her expressive eyes and the shape of her face, bear a striking similarity to her father’s. Photographs of the Prince of Wales as a young child reveal a resemblance that is almost uncanny. Both share the same eye shape and smile, which often lights up their entire face, exuding warmth and approachability.

As she grows older, this resemblance has only become more pronounced. Her smile, a reflection of her father’s bold and endearing grin, is often highlighted in media coverage and public appearances. This physical likeness not only endears her to the public but also serves as a visible link between generations, reinforcing the continuity of the royal family.

During a royal outing to the Kid Mad Center Bradford in January 2020, William mistook a photo of himself during a go-karting day out as a child for one of his daughter. “Is that me?” the Prince of Wales said. “Doesn’t it look like Charlotte? Doesn’t it look like Charlotte? Is that me? Oh my goodness, is that me? That looks just like Charlotte. That’s incredible. I haven’t seen that before. Very alike,” the Princess of Wales agreed, adding, “It looks so much like Charlotte.”

Beyond physical appearance, Princess Charlotte’s personality also mirrors that of Prince William. Described as confident, spirited, and full of energy, Charlotte exhibits many traits that her father displayed as a young boy and continues to show as an adult. From her early years, Charlotte has been known for her lively and outgoing nature, often seen engaging with the public and displaying a natural ease in front of the cameras. Prince William, too, was known for his vivacious personality during his childhood, often charming those around him with his mischievous grin and playful demeanor.

As an adult, Prince William has retained this charisma, balancing his royal duties with a down-to-earth and approachable manner. Charlotte seems to be following in his footsteps, exhibiting a similar ability to connect with people and display genuine warmth and charm. Much like Prince William, who was prepared for his future role from an early age, Charlotte is learning the importance of her position. Her attendance at events and her participation in various royal engagements are part of this gradual introduction to royal duties.

Princess Charlotte’s public appearances have further cemented her popularity and her resemblance to Prince William. From her first appearance on the steps of the Lindo Wing to her presence at major royal events, Charlotte has consistently captivated the public. Her ability to handle public attention with grace and confidence at such a young age is reminiscent of her father’s poise in the spotlight.

One memorable moment that showcased her charm was her appearance at the Trooping the Colour ceremony. Dressed in a beautiful dress and waving enthusiastically to the crowds, Charlotte displayed a confidence and joy that was infectious. Her interactions with her siblings and parents during these events also highlight her close-knit family bonds, much like those Prince William shares with his own family.

Princess Charlotte’s education and upbringing are also areas where the influence of Prince William is evident. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales are committed to providing their children with a nurturing and balanced upbringing. This emphasis on a well-rounded education is something that William and Kate are keen to pass on to their children. Charlotte’s involvement in sports, arts, and other activities mirrors her father’s diverse interests and abilities during his school years.

Prince William has often spoken about the importance of preparing his children for their roles within the monarchy while ensuring they have a normal and fulfilling childhood. This balanced approach is evident in how Charlotte is being brought up. She is given the opportunity to enjoy her childhood while also understanding the significance of her role, much like her father experienced.

The SURPRISING CHANGES In Lives Of Wales Children During Catherine’s Chemotherapy Treatment
Princess Catherine and Prince William are prominent figures in the British royal family.

While their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, have grown up in the public eye, capturing the hearts of many around the world, the Royal Family’s life is not always as fairy tale-like as it appears.

Since Princess Catherine was diagnosed with cancer and began her chemotherapy treatment at home, life for the Wales family changed significantly.

As the royal couple adjusted to this challenging time, they established unique and surprising rules for their children to balance their education and playtime.

These rules were designed to maintain a sense of normalcy and ensure the children’s well-being while their mother was undergoing treatment, creating a calm environment conducive to Princess Catherine’s recovery.

The specifics of the regulations included designated times for outdoor play, restrictions on noise levels, and careful supervision to ensure the children remained safe and occupied. To provide stability, the royal children followed a meticulously structured daily routine. The day was divided into clear segments for study, play, and family time. This schedule helped maintain a sense of normalcy and predictability, which was crucial during this period of uncertainty.

Education remained a top priority for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis despite the emotional and physical challenges at home. The children adhered to a rigorous homeschooling schedule. They had designated learning spaces but were also allowed to study in different areas of the home or garden. This flexibility helped them stay motivated and comfortable. The children were encouraged to engage in outdoor play to keep them active and healthy.

When not with the Prince and Princess of Wales, the children were cared for by their Norland nanny, Maria Borrallo. To ensure that Princess Catherine could rest undisturbed, Nanny Maria Borrallo established specific times during the day when the children could play outside at their home in Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. Besides teaching the Wales kids Spanish, Maria runs a tight ship that includes daily outside playtime regardless of the weather.

Louise Huran, the author of “Nanny in a Book,” told Hello magazine, “There will be lots and lots of outdoor play, lots of bike rides, play with their dogs, potentially some gardening. Yes, you are getting mucky with your hands in the soil.” It may come as a surprise that the royal children will head out in the rain for mud-drenched playtime, as they always look perfectly put together at public engagements. However, the Princess of Wales has established herself as a warm mother, evident from her affectionate public interactions with her children.

The presence of the nanny provided reassurance to both the children and Princess Catherine, knowing that the children were well taken care of and that their activities were appropriately managed. Involving the children in caregiving activities was another surprising rule. They were given age-appropriate tasks that made them feel included in their mother’s care. This involvement ranged from fetching items for her to helping with simple household chores, teaching them empathy and responsibility.

Princess Catherine’s journey through chemotherapy was undoubtedly a challenging time for the entire family. Prince William played a crucial role in supporting his wife and children during this time, balancing his royal duties with the need to be present for his family. He provided emotional support and stability. His involvement in the children’s lives and his commitment to Princess Catherine’s well-being were instrumental in helping the family cope with the challenges they faced.

Throughout this period, the family’s strength and unity were evident as they navigated the complexities of dealing with a serious illness while maintaining their public roles and responsibilities.

Prince William Kicks Off First Overnight Work Trip Since Kate Middleton’s Cancer Diagnosis
“William is staying positive for Kate and the children,” a source close to the royal household tells PEOPLE

Prince William embarked on a two-day visit to the southwest of England on Thursday, May 9, stepping out in Newquay to visit the site of the Duchy of Cornwall’s innovative housing project aimed at addressing homelessness.

This marks the Prince of Wales’ first overnight trip since his wife Kate Middleton, 42, received her cancer diagnosis and began chemotherapy, prompting William, 41, to adjust his schedule to support her and their children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.

The Princess of Wales remains out of the public eye while receiving treatment, but a close source tells PEOPLE there’s a palpable sense of “positive vibes” and an “optimistic mood.”

The prince has been steadfastly there for his wife since she announced the diagnosis on March 22. “William is staying positive for Kate and the children,” a source close to the royal household tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week’s cover story.

Inheriting the $1 billion Duchy of Cornwall estate and the title of Duke of Cornwall following Queen Elizabeth’s death in September 2022, William continues the historical tradition of the Duchy providing income (estimated at $30 million) to support the heir to the British throne and his family.

The Duchy of Cornwall is a large estate owned by the Prince of Wales, which includes land, farms, houses, and other assets. It generates income that supports the Prince of Wales, his family, and his charitable activities.

William’s innovative housing project, announced earlier this year, will offer 24 homes with comprehensive support for locals experiencing homelessness, a collaborative effort between the Duchy and Cornish charity St Petrocs.

“Since the project was announced in February, work on the Innovative Housing Project in Nansledan has been progressing at pace,” a Kensington Palace spokesperson said Thursday. “Designs are being finalized and construction is set to start on site in September, with completion by autumn 2025.

“Today, marks the first time that The Prince will see the site of the new homes. He is looking forward to hearing from the Duchy team about how the work is progressing and from St. Petrocs about the impact the project will have on people experiencing homelessness locally.

“Both His Royal Highness and the Duchy hope that this project will serve as an inspiration to others.”

Inspired by Homewards, a program led by The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, the homes in Nansledan, Newquay, designed by local architects to Passivhaus standards, will provide temporary accommodations with pathways to permanent housing and community integration.

During his visit, Prince William will meet with Duchy representatives overseeing the project’s development, interact with St Petrocs CEO Henry Meacock, and engage with a resident benefiting from the program’s support.

Homewards will evaluate the project’s impact and share insights with similar initiatives nationwide, highlighting Prince William’s commitment to innovative solutions and community welfare.

Additionally, William will spend time at Fistral Beach, learning from local organizations working to maintain beach safety for all visitors.

On Friday, the prince will head to the Isles of Scilly.

Evil Camilla convince William mistress Rose Hanbury to fight Kate Middleton over her husband William
Lady Rose Hanbury is reportedly back in the royal family circle, having been seen for the first time since dismissing rumors of an affair with Prince William following Kate Middleton’s stomach surgery.

According to a report by Us Weekly, Sarah Rose Hanbury was pictured alongside Queen Camilla on the last day of the Badminton Horse Trials at Badminton House in Britain on Sunday, May 12th. The former English model was spotted conversing with Queen Camilla as well as renowned makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury.

Rose chose a cyan blue pantsuit and light blue shirt, matching Queen Camilla, who was wearing a blue dress. Hello! magazine reported that Rose greeted Queen Camilla with a curtsy.

Previously, through her lawyers, Hanbury had dismissed the affair rumors with William, stating that the reports were completely false.

Rumors had resurfaced on social media that the future king was having an affair with Rose Hanbury after Steven Coar stirred up old gossip.

The supposed affair between Prince William and Lady Rose Hanbury had first surfaced in 2019 amidst reports that the Prince of Wales was allegedly unfaithful to Kate Middleton. Hanbury’s reappearance has made headlines again, coinciding with Kate Middleton’s battle with cancer, seemingly reigniting the affair rumors as she meets Queen Camilla amid Princess Kate’s illness.

On Sunday, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley was photographed all smiles meeting with the Queen on the last day of the Badminton Horse Trials at Badminton House in Britain, as reported by Us Weekly. Camilla and Hanbury were also joined by makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury during their meeting.

This was Hanbury’s first public appearance since spring, when rumors of an alleged affair with the Prince of Wales resurfaced after initially starting in 2019. The rumors intensified when Princess Kate reduced her royal duties following her significant stomach surgery in January. Subsequently, Kate revealed in late March that she was diagnosed with cancer and needed privacy to cope with it as she began her treatment.

Many speculated that Kate’s public absence was due to more than just medical leave, suggesting that she and William might be going through a split due to his alleged relations with Hanbury. Hanbury was also a friend of Middleton, living close to the Wales’ Adelaide Cottage. However, the reports persisted despite Hanbury’s legal advisor dismissing the infidelity claims. Now, her appearance with King Charles III’s wife Camilla has sparked claims that she is still welcomed in the royal fold.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle need to find a way to ‘thrive and not just survive’, a royal expert has exclusively claimed after the couple’s unofficial ‘royal tour’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle need to find a way to “thrive and not just survive”, a royal expert has said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, with them announcing that they would become financially independent from the monarchy. The couple then moved from Windsor in England to Montecito in the United States, with them setting up lives for themselves and their young family.

Since making the move away from the British Royal Family, and the United Kingdom, the Sussexes have sat down for televised interviews with the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Good Morning America, worked on podcasts and documentaries, and Prince Harry even released his memoir Spare.

The Sussexes’ projects have caused a stir among the public, and within the Royal Family too, causing a rift to form and deepen over time. And now an expert has warned that they “must stop offending” the royals in order for them to “thrive and not just survive”.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, royal expert and commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said: “If they are to thrive and not just survive they must avoid offending the Royal Family, their attacks have cost both them and the royals popularity and made them appear extremely destructive and also hypocritical over the issue of privacy.”

He then speculated: “Will we see future trips like Nigeria? Will Archie and Lili accompany them? The world ’s press was fascinated, but that was because they are members of the royal family. However, they have been unpredictable and it will be fascinating to see where they take matters from here.”

This comes after the Sussexes jetted to Nigeria from the UK for a 72-hour-whistle-stop tour of the West African country. Before jetting from London to Nigeria, Harry was in the capital city for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, with his wife, Meghan, meeting him at Heathrow before they flew to Africa for their unofficial “royal tour” in all but name.
