Major update: Meghan Markle not ‘sole’ reason of rift between Prince William, Prince Harry

Published

It had been thought that Prince Harry and Prince William could be reunited amid Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis

Before the Duke of Sussex’s decision to depart from the royal family in 2020, Prince Harry and Prince William had already been experiencing a strained and distant relationship for years. 

This tension persisted even after Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, resigned from their royal duties four years ago and subsequently relocated to the United States.

Following their exit the couple opened up in interviews and the media detailing their experience of the royal family, with some controversial comments that appeared to have caused a rift in the family and angered senior royals including the Prince of Wales.

Yet the two brothers were already in a fall out according to royal biographer Robert Lacey, who claims the pair have had arguments as far back as 2002.

In his best-selling Battle of Brothers Lacey wrote: “Meghan was not the original factor in Prince Harry’s decision to get shot of his family. In January 2005 following the “Colonials and Natives” costume fiasco, we now know that Prince Harry was drawn to re-evaluate his elder brother’s involvement and the unfairness of William’s emergence smelling of roses. 

“It made Harry feel alienated. Friends recall “no speaks” and quite a serious rift between the brothers at the time – as there had been after the “Drugs Shame” of 2002, when Harry had first started to realise the price of playing the functional scapegoat.”

In the wake of the Princess of Wales revealing to the world that she had been diagnosed with cancer, it had been thought that Prince Harry and Prince William could be reunited even in brief conversations with distancing in place.

Royal expert and author Tom Quinn exclusively told the Mirror: “Given Kate’s cancer diagnosis, Harry will certainly make efforts to see his brother and Kate when he returns to the UK in May – if it happens at all it’s to be a very brief carefully choreographed meeting and organised to last a short time so that the brothers can avoid any difficult conversations.”

Selena Gomez thinks it’s not ‘shameful’ for being vulnerable about personal struggles

Published

Selena Gomez has recently lashed out at trolls who have derided her for sharing her personal struggles publicly.

Speaking at the Women in Film dinner alongside her little sister, Gracie, the Only Murders in the Building actress said, “I truly truly believe that there is power in being vulnerable and telling people when you need help and want help.”

“That is not shameful,” remarked the 32-year-old.

Selena stated, “I shared that I can’t carry a child. Yeah, I shared I have bipolar.”

“That’s what my life is. That’s who I am. I only want to be an advocate. That’s why I share, that’s why I like to be honest, because everyone is going through something,” explained the singer as well as actress.

Selena, who released her documentary about mental health called Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me in 2022, added, “I don’t have it all put together, I’m me and that’s all I can be.”

Addressing her 11-year-old sister Gracie, the songstress mentioned, “Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you are not a good person or that you aren’t kind because that is so cruel.”

“Screw anyone who tells you you’re a victim. You’re a survivor in my book,” she said.

Earlier in a Vanity Fair interview, Selena opened up about her health problems and why she cannot get pregnant.

“I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children,” she admitted.

The singer-songwriter explained, “I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”

“It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it,” stated Selena.

Selena noted, “I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone. [But] I’m in a much better place with that.”

“I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me,” she added.

Queen Margrethe of Denmark makes important announcment

It has been a difficult few years for the 84-year-old, health-wise

The former Queen of Denmark has cancelled all upcoming engagements after injuring her neck and fracturing her hand. 

Queen Margrethe II, who stepped down from the Danish throne in January, recently provided an important health update. Lene Balleby, Head of Communications for the Royal House of Denmark, issued a statement confirming the news.

She said: “Her Majesty Queen Margrethe has today been discharged from the Royal Hospital and is now back in her home at Fredensborg Castle.

“Queen Margrethe was hospitalised on Wednesday evening after a fall, which unfortunately caused damage around the neck vertebrae as well as a fracture of the left hand.

“As a result of that unfortunate fall, the left hand is now in plaster, and the Queen will have to wear it for the coming months and a stiff neck collar.

“Queen Margrethe is in good spirits and under the circumstances well, but will, however, be on sick leave for a longer period.

“It also means that the Queen’s attendance at a number of events has been cancelled in the coming time.”

A post on social media read: “Her Majesty Queen Margrethe was discharged from Rigshospitalet today and is now back at her home Fredensborg Palace.”

The Royal Family’s loyal fans were quick to send well wishes, with the comment section of the post flooded with concern and love.

It has been a difficult few years for the 84-year-old, health-wise.

February 2023 saw the royal undergo “extensive back surgery,” which led to her decision to abdicate the throne.

In her New Year’s address at the end of 2023, the royal said of her surgery and decision to step down: “[The surgery] went well, thanks to the skilled healthcare staff who took care of me.

“Of course, the operation also gave rise to thoughts about the future – whether the time had come to leave the responsibility to the next generation.”

While Queen Margarethe is set to take it easy for the next few weeks, she is still a constant present in the public eye, attending meetings and public engagements.

Prince Andrew’s scandal continues to haunt King Charles with new series

Published

Netflix’s Scoop released in April, offers a fresh look at the controversial interview

Prince Andrew has been described as a “problem that refuses to go away” for King Charles, according to a royal commentator. 

The Duke of York’s notorious Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis has now become the focus of a major TV drama.

Amazon Prime’s new three-part series, A Very Royal Scandal, chronicles the events leading up to and following Prince Andrew’s interview, which saw him questioned about his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

The series, following Netflix’s Scoop released in April, offers a fresh look at the controversial interview and its aftermath.

A royal commentator has looked at how Prince Andrew is the “problem that refuses to go away” and will prompt further “embarrassment” for King Charles and the rest of the Royal Family.

As the show is released, royal author Jennie Bond suggested how the Firm will feel about the interview being back in the headlines.

“Andrew really is the problem that refuses to go away,” Bond claimed.

“I’m sure the King, and indeed Andrew, wish the interview had never taken place, even though Andrew was so pleased with it immediately after the filming.”

Looking at how this show is different from Netflix’s Scoop, Bond claimed the reason behind this is Emily Maitlis’s involvement.

“As Emily was so involved with this show – as opposed to the last one – it’s getting much more publicity than I imagined it would.

“It promises to fill in quite a few blanks around the making of the interview and Andrew’s demeanour before, during and afterwards.”

She continued to tell OK!: “I don’t imagine the King will watch it, but he will be made aware of its contents and any repercussions I’m sure.

“It’s bound to be a further embarrassment for all concerned.”

Speaking to LBC about the show, Maitlis said: “I feel uncomfortable at moments, and I feel concerned, and I think I’m also conscious… that it’s not just the ramifications [for] Andrew, it’s everyone around him.

“It’s the loyalties to others and the women in his immediate periphery, as well as, of course, to the Epstein victims that [are] the heart of this story.”

Neighbours annoyed by Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s presence: ‘moping around’

The couple stepped down as working royals and leaving the UK in 2020

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s neighbours are reportedly “fed up” and eagerly awaiting their departure.

Since moving into their £12 million Montecito mansion after stepping down as working royals and leaving the UK in 2020, the couple has faced some negative opinions from those living nearby.

Many neighbours have begun voicing their discontent, with one anonymous resident expressing strong dissatisfaction with the couple, who live there with their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.

Speaking to the Montecito Journal, the disgruntled homeowner said that they “cannot wait for her [Meghan] to go”.

Another neighbour, Frank McGinity, said that he was turned away from their gates after trying to perform a nice gesture.

The navy veteran, who lives next door to the couple, tried to share some films he made about the local history of the area, thinking they would have been interested in learning about their new home.

However, the 88-year-old was promptly snubbed by security guards. He said: “The gate guy turned me away and wouldn’t take the film, just saying ‘they’re not interested.’

“I was trying to be neighbourly,” he recounted in his memoir Get Off Your Street.

He also expressed his bewilderment over the pair’s decision to move to the Riven Rock estate, which normally skews towards an older demographic.

He told the local publication: “We don’t see them very much around here.”

A columnist for the paper said that he also did not see the couple very much out and about in the area.

Richard Mineard said: “It’s a very wealthy community, we have a lot of people giving a lot of money to our cultural organisations as well as charities, but we don’t see them.

“They live rather splendidly, it couldn’t be a nicer place.

“The community is waiting for them – they’re gnashing at the bit. The cachet of a Duke and Duchess!”

He said the limited few times he has seen the pair, Harry has been riding his bike, taking a walk, or heading out for lunch.

Meanwhile Meghan, has been spotted a few times moping around the area on a shopping or lunch trip.
