Harry and Meghan’s future predicted by royal expert – and it’s not looking good
Meghan Markle has been compared to Wallis Simpson on more than one occasion, and it does not bode well for either her or Prince Harry, according to a royal expert.
Richard Kay told Palace Confidential: “It’s not a nice comparison to have. Wallis Simpson pushed around the Duke of Windsor. He was very much a reduced figure in her company.
“And there was that relationship between Edward and Mrs Simpson and the rest of the Royal Family. They lived in virtual exile after he abandoned the throne.”
Kay understands why people make the comparison, and to him, it “almost certainly is the future prospect for the Sussexes.”
POLL: Was Princess Kate right not to tell Prince Harry and Meghan about cancer diagnosis?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly found out about Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis on television at the same time as the public.
On Friday evening, the Princess of Wales shared a moving video address to provide an update on her health.
One expert has claimed the Royal Family chose not to inform Harry and Meghan about Kate’s health ahead of time due to a lack of trust in the couple.
Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun: “Well of course there is a reason for that, it’s obvious. There’s a deep rift between the brothers, that we know. We also know that they haven’t, apparently, spoken in many months.
“The reason of course is that for some four years, they’ve caused endless problems for the Royal Family and so they can’t be trusted. Prince William hasn’t trusted Harry and Meghan with good reason.”
Meghan Markle ‘tapping into Martha Stewart vibe’ to reclaim passion she had to give up
Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle blog is predicted to reignite the creative spirit she once had when running The Tig, and has been tipped to become the next “hostess with the mostess,” by tapping into her inner Martha Stewart, according to a royal insider.
Last week, the Duchess of Sussex unveiled her next business venture as she shared a promotional video on Instagram announcing the upcoming launch of her new brand, America Riviera Orchard.
Royal commentator Richard Kay suggested Meghan is attempting to win over public support by turning to a homier version of herself – noting the brand was reminiscent of the British cookware and bakeware shop Lakeland.
He told Palace Confidential: “What we have here is a sort of American version of the Lakeland Catalogue in Britain. Meghan is tapping into that vibe.
“I think in America, she is more tapping into the Martha Stewart vibe, the sort of accomplished hostess with the mostess.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could face ‘plot twist’ in Royal Family relations
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could face a “soap opera plot twist” in their relationship with the Royal Family, it has been suggested.
Donald Trump has said he would, if re-elected, he would take “appropriate action” if the Duke of Sussex misled immigration officials about his previous drug use in his US visa application.
Harry was recently labeled an “idiot” by a royal biographer for revealing in his book, Spare, that he had taken variety of drugs in the past.
There is now a legal battle to make his immigration papers public, to show whether or not Harry lied about taking drugs on his visa application.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘still hope’ they’ll be asked to return as working royals
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may still be holding out hope for a return to the royal fold “on their own terms” but an expert believes this won’t happen.
The Royal Family has been under pressure since King Charles was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, with Princess Kate last week revealing her own battle with cancer.
Harry is reportedly keen to take up some royal duties, but Buckingham Palace sources have shut down any possibility of this happening/
Royal author Tom Quinn previously told The Mirror: “Harry knows he will never be allowed to be a permanent part-time working royal staying six months in the States and then six months in the UK.
“The family no longer trust him and, besides, Meghan is absolutely against it. There is far too much bad blood now for it to be even a remote possibility.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry branded ‘self-absorbed and lazy’ after bucking royal duties
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been called “self-absorbed” and “lazy” for quitting their Royal roles, says a writer.
The couple left the Royal Family in 2020 and moved to America.
They said they did it because the press was always bothering them and they were upset that they couldn’t make their “SussexRoyal” brand big.
But a critic thinks they stopped being royals for different reasons, like being “lazy”.
A. N. Wilson, who writes for the Daily Mail, said: “The truth is, Harry and Meghan were too self-absorbed and ultimately too lazy to carry out the day-to-day slog of royal duty, which Kate, Princess Anne and the King and Queen have so faithfully done for years.”

Prince William ‘desperately needs Harry’ but 22-word statement shows tension remains
Prince Harry is planning a visit to the UK following the shocking news of Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
However, despite Prince William “desperately” needing his brother, a Royal expert suggests that tensions may still exist between them.
Princess Kate, Prince William and Prince Harry were once very close, with Harry having a great affection for Kate, says TalkTV’s Royal editor Sarah Hewson.
However, on Times Radio, Ms Hewson mentioned that Harry has since made some “pretty cruel things” about Kate in his autobiography and Netflix documentary, which were released after he stepped down as a working Royal.
Ms Hewson also revealed that it is believed that Prince Harry and Meghan, who currently reside in Montecito, California, were not aware of the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis until it was publicly announced last Friday.
Following the release of Kate’s video message about her health battle, which shocked the nation, the Sussexes issued a brief 22-word statement: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”
Prince Harry subject to ‘brutal’ royal rule that likely had a hand in Prince William rift
The rift between brothers Prince William and Prince Harry began in childhood due to Harry’s “brutal” role as the “spare,” according to a psychotherapist.
Their late mother Princess Diana reportedly determined that Harry would be a “wingman” for his older brother the future King; however, over the past few years they have become more and more distant.
Psychotherapist Helen Villiers, who specialises in family relationships, told Express.co.uk how William being treated more favourably by the institution and the media due to his status as heir would have been difficult for Harry to endure.
She explained: “If we look at William and Harry, growing up as children, William was heir to the throne, the firstborn boy and therefore, he naturally has had much more media attention priority.”
“And what is very common in aristocracy and titled families is to aim for a second born boy so that you have the ‘spare’, as Harry’s book was called, because that’s what is known as ‘the heir and the spare’ because the second is there to take it up if the first dies.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘had no right’ to expect Princess Kate’s cancer news first

Sharing a story from The Times, Mr Eden wrote: “Prince Harry and Meghan had no right to expect to be told before the rest of the world.”
According to The Times, unknown sources claim that Harry learned of Kate’s diagnosis at the same time as everyone else – via TV news.
A couple of hours after news broke about Kate’s health on Friday (March 22), Harry and Meghan responded with a message of their own. They said: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”
