Meghan breaks silence on difficulty of raising Lilibet on Spotify podcast

Thomas Markle makes dig at Meghan in second YouTube episode

Thomas Markle’s second YouTube episode with Karl Larsen has come out, entitled ‘Remarkable Friendship’. The pair sit behind a picture of Her Majesty and the Union Jack.

Starting off the show, Meghan Markle’s dad and Karl Larsen discuss how their YouTube has really bloomed.

However, Thomas then makes a dig at Prince Harry and Meghan’s new Spotify deal saying that, “so far Meghan and Harry have not completed anything they’ve started to do.”

“I can’t think of anything”, he added, shaking his head.

Judge slams Harry’s legal team

The judge also slammed Harry’s legal team for breaking the embargo on the ruling.

Judgments in the High Court are usually provided to lawyers in a draft form with a strict warning not to break the embargo.

But Mr Justice Swift said a copy was emailed to someone who was not a lawyer in an “entirely unacceptable” move.

‘My pal Prince Harry has DE-FRIENDED me for jokingly calling him Ginger Nuts’

JACK Whitehall says he is “banned” from seeing his old pal Prince Harry after making a cheeky gag about him.

The comedian, 33, claims a tongue-in-cheek joke at the Royal Variety Show in 2015 where he called Harry ”Ginger Nuts” is the reason he’s been blacklisted.

Jack revealed the news this week at The London Palladium as part of his How To Survive The Summer Holidays tour alongside his mum Hilary, 59, and dad Michael, 81.

Mocking the ex-royal and his wife Meghan Markle, Michael teased: “Jack I read a book recently and it changed my life and I put this book down and I thought I must become a writer myself. This book is called The Bench and it’s written by Meghan Markle.”

Upon its release in June last year, the book sold just 3,212 copies with the former Suits actress claiming the book “began as a love letter to my husband and son”.

In a dig at the Prince – who insiders say is attending the Oscars in Los Angeles this weekend after being asked to present the Best Picture Award – he added of the children’s book: “She presumably wrote it for Harry.”

Putting on a mock patronising voice, Michael continued: “Yes darling just read it OK. There are only three lines per page Harry… Harry it’s all right.”

Taking yet another swipe, Michael added: “That is your friend Harry. Except you are not allowed to see him anymore. You have banned… been ostracised from the Sussexes.”

Smirking, Jack replied: “I think I have been banned because I called him ‘Ginger Nuts’ at the Royal Variety”.

Jamaican PM on hosting Kate & William

On Wednesday before the couple left, Prince William and Kate Middleton met with Jamaican Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, and his wife, who said the country was “very happy” to host the couple on their royal tour.

However, Mr Holness added their trip was an “opportunity for issues to be addressed” as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge faced vocal protests in the country’s capital ahead of their arrival.

Mr Holness also added: “The people are very expressive and I’m certain that you will have seen the spectrum of expression yesterday, which as you would know is unresolved.

“Your presence gives an opportunity for those issues to be placed in context, put front and centre, and to be addressed as best as we can.”

Spotify drama

The Sussexes were given a bumper pay-out by the streaming giant back in late 2020.

But in January 2022, The Sun revealed Spotify was taking the project “into its own hands” as content from the couple failed to materialise.

Initially, a “full-scale” launch of shows was promised in 2021. However, the year came and went without any further update.

Bosses then stepped in and began recruiting in-house staff to help.

Harry and Meghan’s only podcast effort had been a 35-minute ‘holiday special’ in December 2020, featuring celebrity pals Elton John and James Corden.

It meant they’d been paid £500,000 for each minute of content.

Meghan’s treatment still ‘fresh wound’ in Jamaica

Jamaicans are ‘very torn up’ over the treatment of Meghan Markle in the Royal Family.

Bert Samuels, Jamaican attorney and reparations advocate, said Prince William needed to apologise “for the treatment of a black woman who had to run out of the place with her husband”.

Speaking to Newsweek Bert Samuels said: “Jamaicans were very torn up to hear about Harry and Meghan’s issue, and Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, and that has torn us. That’s William’s brother, that’s his nephew, and for Harry to have been treated the way he was, and worse yet Meghan.”

Mr Samuels said Jamaicans have a “strong wound” over the treatment which is still a “fresh wound”.

Thomas Markle blasts Prince Harry

Thomas markle has blasted Prince Harry’s choice not to return to the UK for Prince Philips memorial service.

In the most recent episode of Remarkable Friendship with Karl Larsen, Thomas has claimed that Harry’s decision is ‘the most hateful mean spirited, unforgivable thing anyone can do’.

He said: “I think it’s disrespectful for a man to abandon his country.

“Do I think it’s disrespectful for a man to abandon his grandmother and then refuse to attend his grandfather’s memorial ceremony and to also refuse to let the Queen see her grandchildren.

“It’s the most hateful, mean spirited unforgivable thing anyone can do.

“I send that right out to Harry, if you think you’re doing something good, You’re crazy.

“You’ll never be forgiven for what you’re doing.”

High Court secret

A High Court Judge has ruled that parts of some documents in Prince Harry’s claim against the Home Office will remain secret.

Prince Harry is challenging the government’s decision to refuse police security during his visits from the US, saying he “does not feel safe”.

At a preliminary hearing last month, the High Court in London heard an application by both Prince Harry and the Home Office for some parts of the court documents in the case to be kept private.

The court was told that the Duke and Home Office agreed on what should be redacted from witness evidence.

In a judgement today, Mr Justice Swift said the bid to redact documents was allowed.

Speaking about the decision, Mr Justice Swift said some of the information relied on in the case involved the security arrangements for Prince Harry and other public figures in the UK.

“For obvious reasons information on such matters usually remains confidential,” he said.

Queen to decide last minute whether to attend Philip service

THE Queen will leave it to the last minute before deciding if she is well enough to attend the Duke of Edinburgh’s thanksgiving service next Tuesday.

Palace aides are working on plans which may include a helicopter, privacy screens and a wheelchair to get the 95-year-old into Westminster Abbey.

Her Majesty missed the Commonwealth Day ceremony last week due to concerns about her “comfort”.

The Queen was pictured using a walking stick at Windsor Castle, Berks, on Wednesday while viewing enamelware by Halcyon Days.

Prince Philip’s funeral was scaled down last April due to Covid rules.

The service will see royals from across Europe jetting in for the ceremony and 500 guests from his charities and patronages.

Meghan Markle compared to Wallis Simpson

Senior members of the British royal family have compared Meghan Markle to a a modern-day Wallis Simpson, according to reports.

Since Megxit, Meghan has been likened to as the American socialite, comparing Harry and Meghan’s relationship to that of Wallis and the Duke of Windsor.

Wallis and Edward VIII married in 1937 after he gave up the title of King over to his younger brother, Queen Elizabeth’s father.

The pair, like Harry and Meghan, relocated to the United States and stepped away from royal responsibilities.

Queen urged to axe Prince Harry from family

The Queen has been urged to strip Prince Harry and Prince Andrew of a royal role they both still hold.

The Duke’s both still hold a position as one of the four individuals on the Queen’s Counsellors of State.

At this present time, the positions are held by Prince Andrew, Prince Charles and his sons William and Harry.

However, Former BBC correspondent and presenter Peter Hunt has urged the Queen to re-think who is to take the roles.

Mr Hunt wrote on Twitter: “Both Charles and William are abroad. If the Queen becomes ill, either Charles flies home or Andrew steps in – an unthinkable move for many.

“This is the reality of having no fool-proof plan to cover all scenarios for when a 95-year-old head of state can’t carry out her duties.”

The Daily Mail’s diarist and staunch critic of The Sussexes, Richard Eden, retweeted this and then wrote: “This is why #PrinceAndrew and #PrinceHarry must be stripped of their roles as Counsellors of State immediately. #royal”.

Harry’s lawyer blasted by furious High Court judge

PRINCE Harry’s lawyer was given a furious dressing-down by a High Court judge today – after breaching strict privacy rules.

Shaheed Fatima QC was monstered in open court by Mr Justice Swift after handing an embargoed legal document to a PR strategist.
The court heard she emailed the papers, strictly for lawyers’ eyes only, to “reputation specialist” Tim Robinson – a partner at privacy-loving law firm Schillings.

To make matters worse, Ms Fatima only admitted to the breach on Wednesday – nearly a week after she leaked the draft judgment – and repeatedly failed to apologise.

She initially tried to claim that Schillings, which is representing Harry in a claim against the Home Office, did not believe there had been a breach.

But red-faced Mr Justice Swift raged: “Let me disabuse of that straight away. What you’re saying isn’t making anything better.

“The rules are very clear and should be obvious to anyone practising in this court. This embargo is in standard form, what it says is what it means.

“Mr Robinson is not a solicitor, he’s not qualified as a matter of law to provide legal services or advice. It should have been obvious that this was a breach and it should have been reported to me as soon as possible.

“This is entirely unacceptable. You haven’t even offered an apology.

“Nothing you’ve said this morning approaches an apology for this clear breach of the embargo.

“You must take responsibility when things go wrong. Not everything that happens is someone else’s fault.”

Meghan and Harry  blasted by ex-BBC journalist

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been blasted by ex-BBC journalist John Sergeant, when he appeared on GB News.

John Sergeant, a former chief political correspondent at the BBC, slammed the Sussexes as “just awful” and went on to argue “we should never hear” from the couple again.

He said: “I think we should never hear from them again.

“I would just like to wake up and for someone to say, who do you mean there.

“It’s just awful, the pointless damage they’ve done.

“It’s one thing to say they were treated unfairly, you know they weren’t.”

However, Twitter users were divided at Mr Sergeant’s statement.

One person wrote: “Spot on John Sergeant. Oh to never hear from them again.”

A second added: “All UK media should ban any interaction with them or their PR reps the end.”

While a third disagreed with what was said, saying: “You seem to care about them an awful lot for not wanting to hear about them.”

Meghan Markle’s friend blasts palace ‘diversity’

Meghan Markle’s close friend Omid Scobie has tried to blame diversity in the Palace for pictures of the Cambridges greeting Jamaican fans in front of a fence.

Scobie lashed out at The Firm for not ‘avoiding certain imagery’, as pictures of Kate Middleton and Prince William emerged showing young Jamaicans watching a football match from behind a fence.

Meghan’s close friend took to Twitter to express his anger at the Cambridges’ staff, saying: “I do wonder what the hell palace organisers were thinking with some of yesterday’s photo moments.

“The planning and recon that goes into every step of these engagements is next level, so how did no one think to avoid certain imagery?”

The author, who co-wrote Finding Freedom, added on Twitter: “This is why diversity on a team matters.”

Dan Wootton lashes out at Meghan amid royal tour row

GB News’ Dan Wootton took a swipe at Meghan Markle after Kate Middleton and Prince William face backlash on their royal tour.

Wootton said that Meghan’s comments about racism during her Oprah Winfrey interview has intensified the backlash.

Mr Wootton said: “Was all this difficulty intensified by the antics of Meghan Markle when she made unsubstantiated and anonymous allegations of racism within the Royal Family during her outlandish interview with Oprah prompting the infamous response from Buckingham Palace that recollections may vary?

“Meghan wasn’t forced out of the palace, she ran out in a hurry because she wanted to make the big bucks in Hollywood and become even more famous, she used the Royal Family, look at the trouble that Meghan has caused for the Royal Family.”

The GB News presenter also added: “But the reason I am so angry is that they are using this propaganda for Meghan Markle to add to their cause and try and paint a picture of a 95-year-old monarch as some sort of racist.

“And anyone who knows anything about the Queen knows that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“So I say, shame on Meghan Markle and shame on the propaganda in Jamaica who are using her lies to advance their political cause.

“I want the people of Jamaica to make that decision based on facts.

“And the Queen loves the people of Jamaica and the Queen is not a racist woman and this implication which Meghan made, that the Queen is, somehow, overseeing a racist Royal Family has done damage, that’s all I am saying.”

Prince Philip was ‘spitting blood’ over Megxit

It has been claimed that Prince Philip told an aide the Royal Family had been “wrong” about Meghan Markle after finding out about about the couple’s plans to quit the Firm via social media.

The Duke of Edinburgh was left “spitting blood” after reading about the plans plans, US on Instagram, Christopher Andersen wrote in Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan.

According to an aide quoted in the book, Philip went straight to the Queen to express his “anger”.

The aide also said that, Philip, then 99, told the Monarch: “This shows a complete lack of respect.”

Confiding in one of his closest staff about his opinion of Meghan, he also said: “It appears as if we were wrong about her all along.”

Prince Harry lands himself in ‘sticky wicket’ with security row

Prince Harry has “backed himself into a corner” over his decision to take the British Government to court over his security when in the UK, argues a royal expert.

Royal expert Russel Myers told Today: “I mean he’s definitely on a bit of a sticky wicket.

“He has taken the British government to court about his security and he’s claiming that it’s too dangerous to come to the UK to bring his family back with him.

“But I mean it’s frankly a ludicrous argument because, I mean, he’s going over to Europe.

“He’ll be at the Invictus Games, which is a fantastic event that has been delayed for a couple of years and he won’t be able to come over and see his granny and the rest of the family.

“So he’s backed himself into a corner, unfortunately, and it’s not a good look.”

Prince Harry ‘so fragile’

A royal expert has claimed that Prince Harry has been left fragile by “substantial hurt, embarrassment and distress” caused by media coverage.

The Duke of Sussex is suing the Mail on Sunday for ‘distortion and misrepresentation of the facts’ in an exclusive story about his security issues.

Royal biographer Angela Levin reacted to this new lawsuit, claiming the Duke’s decision to sue makes him “sound so fragile”.

On Twitter, the royal expert wrote: “Harry says he’s “suffered increased upset and distress and injury to his feelings” over press comment on 24/7 protection for him. He sounds so fragile.

“Where has the brave soldier gone and how can he think he’s the only one whose had sad feelings over the last 2 years.”
