Lizzie Cundy remarked that Meghan Markle “appeared as if she’d swallowed a wasp” while receiving considerable attention during her recent public appearance.

Cundy, 56, encountered the Duchess of Sussex firsthand at the LA Children’s Hospital Gala last weekend. 

The two previously enjoyed a friendly relationship after meeting at a charity event in 2013, but their dynamic has shifted dramatically, with Cundy now frequently vocal about her criticisms of Meghan.

Speaking to Nana Akua on GB News, she said their latest encounter yielded no fruits in terms of a possible rekindling of ties.

“I bet she was delighted to see me”, Cundy sarcastically remarked.

“It’s one of the biggest charity events in Los Angeles. It only happens once every two years and the Hollywood elite are there. It’s the event to be seen at.

“There were names like Jamie Lee Curtis. We were all on the red carpet and then a huge security presence came through, and it was Meghan in a similar dress to mine. Her’s was a lot more expensive than mine.

“Everyone looked very shocked. I was hoping she would do something for the charity, maybe do a speech, but it appeared she was just there for the photo-op.

“She wasn’t there for that long – there was a funny point where a lady asked for a selfie and her face looked like she’d swallowed a wasp.

“She needs LA but LA has had enough of her. She’s cooked a goose there.”

Cundy did not mince her words as she continued to criticise the duchess for her appearance at the event, which sought to raise awareness for the hospital.

“She makes it all about herself”, she told Nana Akua.

“This charity does such great work for the children but Meghan makes it about Meghan.

“The other stars are so gracious and it’s a shame Meghan can’t take a leaf out of their book.”

Upon meeting Prince Harry, Cundy claims she was “ghosted” by Meghan.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said the duchess cut all contact with her when news broke about her engagement.

“She ghosted me once the engagement hit. She’s ghosted quite a lot of people, obviously, including her family, so I’m not the worst person she’s ghosted”, she said.

Meghan was joined on the red carpet by Kelly McKee Zajfen, the co-founder of Alliance of Moms.

She also greeted healthcare leader Paul Viviano with a warm hug after posing with Zajfen.

Lindsay and Jamie are both bringing back the madness to the big screens on August 8, 2025.

The official news of the sequel was announced on Disney’s official Instagram handle with both actress’ giving a scary pose while referencing to the first film released in 2003.

Both Lohan and Curtis could be seen wearing their night suit pajamas and shirt. The post had a small caption along with the official release date of the film.

James Middleton has disclosed that Prince William often concocted “excuses” to skip game nights with the Middleton family, as he found them to be “too competitive.”

Kate’s brother, 37, who lives in Berkshire, was about 13 when his sister began dating the future King. William frequently joined the family for dinners, but it appears no Middleton gathering was complete without a card game.

James mentioned that their family enjoys playing Racing Demon, a competitive version of Patience or Solitaire. However, whenever the cards appeared on the table, William reportedly seemed eager to find other tasks to occupy his time.

He shared this insight during an appearance on the Walking The Dog podcast, hosted by author and animal lover Emily Dean.

She said: ‘The Middletons are quite competitive and they love a game, don’t they?

‘And then you made poor William play, and he found it too competitive and actually used to make excuses.’ 

James responded: ‘It was after family dinner, we would be sat there and the cards would come out, and [he would] perhaps see if Ella needed a walk or make an excuse to get down from the table.

It’s no secret that ambitious blood runs through the Middleton veins, as Pippa and Kate enjoyed beating their opponents at school sporting events.

They were both on the hockey team as teenagers, though the Princess of Wales was team captain during her years at Marlborough College in Wiltshire. 

Royal fans caught a glimpse of the family playing cards during Kate’s emotional video, where she announced the end of her chemotherapy after a tough year of battling cancer. 

King Charles III, who’s making headlines for his royal tour to Australia, has not been allowed to ravel without his medical team.

The 75-year-old monarch will reportedly take two doctors along with him on his upcoming trip to Australia and Samoa, scheduled from October 18 to October 26.

Joining the royal entourage will be the cancer-stricken King’s two doctors, according to the Times. It emerged earlier this week that William and Harry’s dad will “pause” cancer treatments while abroad.

The much-anticipated trip, which marks the first visit of King Charles’ reign to a Commonwealth realm, will include “a number of concessions to prevent him from being overworked,” according to the outlet.

The monarch “will be monitored closely during the visit.”

A palace source, speaking to the outlet, claimed that the decision to pause his cancer treatment, which will resume when he returns to the UK, “followed doctors’ advice.”

The monarch was diagnosed with cancer following a procedure to treat a benign enlarged prostate in January. 

Buckingham Palace announced that the King would begin treatment for cancer on February 5, which he was diagnosed with following the procedure. The palace clarified that the monarch’s cancer is not prostate cancer, though it did not specify the type or stage.
