Meghan Markle May Have 1 Trick Up Her Sleeve for Hollywood Career Comeback That Would Horrify the Royal Family

Michelle Kapusta — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 23:22:00 +0000

Following a year Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would like to forget, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did a complete rebrand and vowed that this would be their “redemption year.”

And so far in 2024, the pair embarked on a trip to Nigeria as Harry continues his work with the Invictus Games. The duke also has a documentary about polo coming out while Meghan has her lifestyle brand, America Riveria Orchard, as well as a cooking show set to premiere on Netflix.

But a royal expert is claiming that there’s something else Harry’s wife could have in the pipeline to complete a big Hollywood comeback, especially if her brand and show aren’t a success.

Longtime investigative journalist Tom Bower, who penned the book Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors, believes that Meghan is getting something else ready to complete her comeback—something that would surely be another nightmare for the royals.

“The future for the Sussexes is pretty grim. I think they’re on a permanent decline,” Bower said per OK! Magazine. “But whenever they need money, whenever they need publicity to stoke their reputation, they will drop another bomb.”

Bower opined that what the duchess may do to rake in a lot of interest and publicity for herself is release her own memoir like Harry did, saying: “We’re still waiting for Meghan’s own autobiography, which I’m sure she’s penning. She’s a good writer and it will be filled with vitriol and filled with lies.”

Reason Meghan’s product launch has been stalled

Regarding her product launch, which has been held up for a while, OK! previously reported that sources close to the former Suits star have said: “The rollout for American Riviera Orchard is already off to a strong start. The website has over 100,000 who have signed up to hear about the first products launched. Meghan is very pleased with the early interest it has gained. [She] is so excited to see how people enjoy her products and use them in their everyday lives.”

But according to Prince Harry’s biographer Angela Levin, the slow product rollout over the last several months is due to several issues behind the scenes.

“[Meghan] is very upset about what is happening with this American Riviera Orchard [and] she is not happy about how it has been received,” the author told GB News. “The jam was a bit of a laughing stock. She sent it off to about 50 friends and only a few replied. Everyone said that she is in a ‘jam.’ It is not moving forward.

“She has had a lot of trouble finding a CEO to run it for her and she is having a lot of trouble finding a chef. Some of them have gone along to see how it is but they say she is so meticulous about everything. She’s so demanding and they don’t really want that. These are chefs who have good jobs, and they’re not people who are learning.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Latest Interview Follows Years-Long ‘Pattern’

According to a commentator, the new Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview is another example of a pattern the couple’s followed in recent years. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to “pop up” every August while their royal counterparts across the Atlantic vacation in Scotland.

Harry and Meghan ‘pop up’ every August

Harry and Meghan’s CBS Sunday Morning interview about The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Network aired on Aug. 4, 2024. Not only did it coincide with Meghan’s birthday—she turned 43 —but according to commentator Daniela Elser, the timing proved telling.

“The timing of this week’s Harry and Meghan outing is a curious business. In short, why now?” she asked (via news.com.au). The couple’s joint interview and launch of the program “follows a pattern that has emerged over the last few years,” she continued.

“Around the same time the royal family all collectively have their out-of-offices on and are up in Scotland, […] the Duke and Duchess of Sussex pop up.”

Three days before the interview aired, Harry and Meghan’s upcoming tour of Colombia, was also announced.

August is known to be a quiet month for the British royal family. Every year, they close out the summer by heading to Balmoral, their estate in the Scottish Highlands.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan didn’t reportedly get invited this year. Nor have they ever taken their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, to Balmoral.

Harry and Meghan followed the ‘pattern’ in August 2020 and August 2021

Elser continued, noting that Harry and Meghan had either made an announcement or appearance every August since leaving royal life in the spring of 2020.

The first August after relocating to Montecito, California, the couple “undertook their first live post-royal engagement.” They joined a “charity to hand out back-to-school supplies, taking a personal photographer with them.”

Not two weeks passed when, on Sept. 2, 2020, they marked the anniversary of Princess Diana’s death by “planting flowers at LA Preschool, [and] later releasing photos of the visit.”

A year later, in August 2021, Meghan celebrated turning 40 publicly. She appeared in a video alongside Melissa McCarthy to launch a mentoring program, which has “long since disappeared.”

They did it again in August 2022 and 2023

August 2022 and August 2023 were no different. Once again, Harry and Meghan continued the “pattern.” In 2022, came Meghan’s cover interview for New York magazine’s The Cut.

“Curiously, she said something not dissimilar back then,” Elser said in reference to Meghan’s “scraped the surface” comment. “It’s interesting, I’ve never had to sign anything that restricts me from talking,” Meghan told The Cut. “I can talk about my whole experience and make a choice not to.”

Finally, in August 2023, “Harry flew to Tokyo to take part in a conference to declare his ‘life is charity.’” It marked “his first in-person public engagement in months.”

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s Wedding ‘More Intense, Romantic’ Than Queen Elizabeth’s, Says Body Language Expert

Lucille Barilla — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 14:26:31 +0000

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s 2018 nuptials were much less reserved than past royal unions. A body language expert claims their day was “more intense” and “romantic” than Queen Elizabeth’s wedding to Prince Philip.

Body language expert talks stark contrasts between Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth’s weddings

Speaking to The Mirror, body language expert Judi James revealed that there was a stark difference between Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s wedding versus Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials. Much of the contrast had to do with the times of the day.

“It’s important to put the Queen and Philip’s body language into context on their wedding day. This was a time before women’s lib when it was still quite rare for a woman to have a job after marriage. And even rarer for a woman to hold a higher rank than her husband, as the future Queen did here, even before she ascended to the throne,” James explained.

“It was therefore important that the Queen’s body language reflect that. Keeping an appropriate sense of royal status while also showing signals of a more dutiful respect to Philip.” However, James believes Elizabeth wore a “very youthful, rather girlish smile of adoration and excitement” in her photographs.

In contrast, James claims that the queen’s grandson, Prince Harry, was able to freely share his affection toward Meghan Markle. “Harry and Meghan had fewer restrictions in terms of their body language. As a result, we saw intense and romantic eye contact as well as a slightly more tactile and modern approach.”

She believed that “Meghan looked more confident than a very nervous Harry.” However, the couple was able to demonstrate emotions which “suggested they were lost in their own world at times.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding less formal than Queen Elizabeth’s nuptials

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wed in May 2018. Although several controversies preceded the actual event, including conflicts with Kate Middleton and the sudden absence of her father, Thomas Markle, Harry and Meghan’s wedding appeared to go off without a hitch.

From a kiss on the steps of the Chapel at Windsor Castle to a raucous dance party reception, Harry and Meghan focused primarily on each other. Photographs of the couple show how deeply in love they appeared to be that spring day.

In contrast, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s wedding was much more formal and even more restrained. Because it was held shortly after World War II, this was reflected in the ceremony and celebrations.

Reportedly, Elizabeth’s lavish dress was allowed after the British government awarded her an extra 200 clothing coupons to purchase her wedding gown due to rationing in World War II. Hundreds of people from across the UK sent Elizabeth their coupons to help with the dress. However, she could not accept their offers.

Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s wedding was similar to Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth’s

To The Mirror, Judi James added that while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle demonstrated their affection toward each other, she observed Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s wedding to reflect the more stoic nature of Harry’s grandparents. Charles and Diana ushered in a new era of royal weddings but remained emotionally reserved.

James assessed, “Charles was, like his father, very much the more confident and dominant older male. While Diana looked young and rather sweet. Here, Charles looks at her warmly while she adds the romantic rush to the pose by leaning toward him as though in search of protection, smiling shyly and looking utterly besotted.”

“Charles and Diana were able to display signals that would have been seen as totally appropriate and romantic for the era they married in. As romantic signals go, it was idealized, but sadly, the relationship itself wasn’t behind the scenes.”

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were wed for 73 years, the longest of any British monarch. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary. King Charles and Princess Diana were married for 15 years before finalizing their divorce in 1996.

Here’s Why so Many of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Staffers Quit Working for Them

Michelle Kapusta — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 00:40:00 +0000

Ever since it was reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lost several staffers, 14 within a four-year period, many have questioned why so many of those employed by the Sussexes have quit.

There were past allegations that Meghan wasn’t easy to work with, and therefore, household aides dubbed her as “Duchess Difficult.” Then, there were the explosive claims that she “bullied” staffers, which the duke and duchess have always denied.

Now, we’re taking a look at some of their former staff members who decided to leave and the reasons they chose to do so.

The reasons some of Prince Harry and Meghan’s staffers resigned

A total of 15 employees lost their jobs on Meghan and Harry’s staff when the pair decided to move to America. But 14 more have other reasons they no longer work for the duke and duchess. They include members of their PR team to Archewell media company employees to a royal protection officer, whose identity has been kept confidential for security reasons, all resigning within or just over a year on the job.

Melissa Toubati was once Meghan’s personal assistant. She left her position in November 2018, a short time after she began working for the duchess. Several reports claim that she quit just a few months into the job when she was allegedly reduced to tears by her boss.

Another woman, Toya Holness, who had been on the prince and former Suits star‘s team since October 2020 and was promoted to manage their PR across the Atlantic in March 2021. However, she ended up quitting in May 2022. Insiders said that Holness “wanted out” after finding herself “having to fulfill a great many functions for the couple.”

Two of the most famous Sussex employee exits were those of senior communications secretaries Jason Knauf and Christian Jones. They left their roles in March 2019 to work for Prince William and the Princess of Wales (formerly Kate Middleton). It was later discovered that Knauf filed a formal complaint about the alleged bullying experienced by various royal household staff members.

Former Palace employee admits the Sussexes couldn’t keep people on staff

Another high-profile departure was Samantha Cohen’s. She was employed as a top staffer for the late Queen Elizabeth II for 17 years before she was moved to help out Harry and Meghan’s team when they were short-staffed. She even became Meghan’s private secretary at one point.

Cohen told The Herald Sun that she was one of the 10 staffers interviewed for the Palace’s investigation into the “bullying allegations.” She also confirmed that there was high turnover as people did not want to work for the Sussexes.

“I was only supposed to stay for six months but stayed for 18,” Cohen told the Australian publication. “We couldn’t find a replacement for me and when we did, we took them on tour to Africa with Harry and Meghan to show them the ropes. But they left (quit) as well while in Africa.”

Cohen is thought to be one of the sources for Valentine Low’s book Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, in which it was claimed that Harry and Meghan’s former staff members referred to themselves as the “Sussex Survivors Club.”

During an episode of Palace Confidential, Low explained: “When [Sam] started, Harry knew her well and liked her and she liked Harry. Sam is an incredible problem solver, she’s a can-do personality and she just found it really difficult. She was asked to do things that a private secretary wouldn’t normally be asked to do and I think she was treated harshly. She was shouted at by Meghan [and] said that dealing with them was like dealing with a couple of teenagers.”

The duke and duchess have denied the claims that Meghan bullied staffers calling the allegations a “smear campaign.”

Harry and Meghan ‘Won’t Get’ a Royal Relationship After Latest Interview Mentions Oprah ‘Nuclear Bomb’

Mandi Kerr — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 12:18:00 +0000

Things aren’t looking good for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the ongoing royal family rift. Their latest sit-down with CBS Sunday Morning—their first one together in years—included a mention of the “nuclear bomb” that was their 2021 Oprah interview. A commentator says rehashing the interview that caused “so much harm” to the royal family suggests the Duke and Duchess of Sussex aren’t concerned with “mend[ing] that rift.”

Oprah interview mentioned in Harry and Meghan’s CBS ‘Sunday Morning’

In a pre-recorded CBS Sunday Morning segment that aired on Aug. 4, 2024, Meghan’s birthday, she and Harry sat down for their first joint interview since their 2021 Oprah interview.

In it, the couple discussed the Archewell Foundation Parents’ Network. The program supports parents whose children have been impacted by bullying and trauma online. It is available in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. It’s part of a collaboration with the Parents Network and its “No Child Lost to Social Media” campaign.

Along the way, Meghan touched on her own negative experience with social media and tabloids. She recalled revealing to Oprah that she “didn’t want to be alive anymore” while pregnant in 2019.

“You know, I haven’t really scraped the surface on my experience,” she told anchor Jane Pauley, noting her hope that by being “really open,” she can help others.

“If me voicing what I have overcome will save someone, or encourage someone in their life to really genuinely check in on them and not assume that the appearance is good, so everything’s OK, then that’s worth it,” Meghan said. “I’ll take a hit for that.”

Mentioning the Oprah interview won’t help heal the royal family rift

Mentioning the Oprah interview, according to commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, may make things between Harry and Meghan and the royal family even worse.

It’s worth noting that the couple didn’t bring it up; rather, the interviewer did. Regardless, the 2021 Oprah sit-down, Fitzwilliams told the Sun, “was like placing a nuclear bomb in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace.”

So to play a “clip from an interview which did so much harm to the royal family” isn’t likely to go over well at the palace.

“I don’t believe that at a time like this, with King Charles and the Princess of Wales seriously ill, the Sussexes should bring in matters which deal with or are linked to their rift with the royal family.”

King Charles III and Kate Middleton were both diagnosed with undisclosed types of cancer earlier in the year. Their treatment is ongoing.

“What Meghan said in the CBS interview about the issues and her mental health and the fact that she felt suicidal is a very, very serious charge to lay against the royal family,” he said.

“If you want a relationship of any sort and you give interviews of this sort that bring up memories that will undoubtedly damage the institution, clearly you won’t get it. It doesn’t look like either of them want to bridge that gap or mend that rift.”

Meghan didn’t expect to talk about her own mental health during the interview

Discussing the topic of suicide wasn’t something Meghan expected to do when she and Harry sat down for the interview. Pauley even noted the former Suits star’s apparent surprise when she brought it up.

“The connection that you have with people is that they know that you have suffered too, personally contemplating killing yourself,” Pauley told Meghan. The anchor then noted the former Suits star appeared noticeably “uncomfortable” with her “going there.”

“I understand why you are though,” Meghan replied. “I wasn’t expecting it, but I understand why you are.”

Meghan Markle’s 3 Words in Latest Interview Should Have King Charles Worried

Mandi Kerr — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 00:15:00 +0000

King Charles III may be gearing up for some rest and relaxation at Balmoral Castle (the Sussex family wasn’t reportedly invited), but three words from Meghan Markle should have him concerned, according to a commentator. What the Duchess of Sussex, 43, said in a sit-down interview with Prince Harry about their latest project suggested more “shots” at the royal family could be on the way.

Meghan hasn’t ‘scraped the surface’ of talking about her mental health as a working royal

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex discussed the Archewell Foundation Parents’ Network, a program aimed at children’s social media safety, in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning’s Jane Pauley. It aired on Aug. 4, 2024, Meghan’s birthday.

At one point, the anchor addressed Meghan’s comments to Oprah in the couple’s 2021 interview. Specifically when she revealed she “didn’t want to be alive anymore” in 2019 after intense tabloid and social media scrutiny.

“The connection that you have with people,” Pauley told Meghan, “is that they know that you have suffered too, personally contemplating killing yourself.” Pauley went on to note the former Suits star appeared “uncomfortable” with “going there.”

“I understand why you are though,” Meghan replied, noting she “wasn’t expecting it. There is a through line, I think. And when you’ve been through any level of pain or trauma, I believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it.”

“You know, I haven’t really scraped the surface on my experience,” she continued. “But I do think that I would never want someone else to feel that way. And I would never want someone else to be making those sort[s] of plans. And I would never want someone else to not be believed.”

“If me voicing what I have overcome will save someone. Or encourage someone in their life to really genuinely check in on them. And not assume that the appearance is good, so everything’s OK, then that’s worth it,” Meghan added. “I’ll take a hit for that.”

King Charles may not be ‘clear’ of shots from Harry and Meghan

Meghan’s “scraped the surface” comment took the spotlight, according to commentator Daniela Elser. “It’s those three words–’scraped the surface’–that have promptly sucked up all the oxygen. And understandably so,” she said (via news.com.au).

After the Oprah interview, Harry & Meghan, and Spare, “it had appeared that a sort of ‘all clear’ siren was sounding from the direction of Montecito.”

“The couple was done excavating their painful royal lives and brighter futures, broad horizons and jam empires beckoned. Only, not quite, it might seem.”

The idea that Meghan could discuss her experience would make the king nervous

Meghan’s words will only add to the palace’s concern she may write her own memoir after Spare‘s success. (Harry inked a reported four-book deal with Penguin Random House in 2021. Spare hit shelves—and quickly broke records—in January 2023.)

There’s “nothing to indicate that Meghan might ever want” to write a memoir. The potential for a “lengthy, painful trip down memory lane” could be a disaster waiting to happen for King Charles.

If one thing’s “guaranteed to put” King Charles “off” his Scottish Highlands vacation, “it’s even the remote possibility that his daughter-in-law might decide to properly ‘scrape’ deep beneath the surface of her royal travails.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Face ‘Repercussions’ With Latest Move as They Make ‘First Steps Back Into Royal Life,’ Claims Former Palace Aide

Michelle Kapusta — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 23:33:38 +0000

Following their high-profile trip to Nigeria, the next country Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will tour is Colombia.

A statement by the Vice President of Colombia, Francia Márquez, read: “I am pleased to announce that Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have kindly accepted my invitation to visit our beautiful country. During their trip, the Duke and Duchess will join me in visiting Bogotá, as well as the Caribbean and Pacific regions of Cartagena and Cali.”

However, one person who worked for the royal family and knows Harry thinks this must be a sign that the Sussexes want back into royal life because if not, there could be “repercussions.”

Former royal employee explains why things could get ‘very awkward’ for Meghan and Harry

Grant Harrold was King Charles’ butler from 2004 to 2011. During his time working for the now-monarch, his duties also included that of valet, housekeeper, house manager, and driver. Harrold looked after Prince William and Prince Harry whenever they stayed at Highgrove House as well.

He believes that the duke and duchess taking these trips could be a signal that they are trying to transition back to being working royals and hopes the pair spoke to the king before planning their tour to Colombia.

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, Harrold opined: “I think this could be one of the first steps in Meghan and Harry coming back to being working royals. It will be good to know if this has been sanctioned by the Palace or if Harry had a conversation with his father asking if he can do this. I just can’t see them doing it without some sort of approval because this would upset the monarchy if they do it off their own back and I think there could be repercussions if they haven’t been given permission by the royal household.

“If they are going to carry out a royal tour then they are acting as working royals so this could be an indication of them stepping back into royal life … That is what members of the royal family do, so the fact they are classing this as a tour is indicating this as a royal tour.”

The former butler continued: “If this hasn’t been sanctioned or approved by the king then this is very awkward because this is like anybody doing a royal tour without the backing of the royal family … This is obviously going to cause a lot of interest. The Palace will probably contact them to stress that this is a personal tour and not a royal tour. They will have to make clear that this is just them doing a tour as Harry and Meghan and not under the name of the king.”

Expert says Sussexes’ last tour really ruffled royal feathers, next one will do the same

While Harrold is beside himself thinking Meghan and Harry would actually plan these tours to different countries without speaking to the Palace first, an expert says that’s exactly what’s happening.

Royal author and commentator Tom Quinn noted that Harry did meet with injured soldiers for Invictus in Nigeria. However, the trip also included highlights for Meghan like speaking at a leadership event, proving that it was actually more like a royal tour for the two non-working royals.

Quinn told The Mirror: “Everything you might expect from an official royal visit was there — the receptions, the visits to schools and charities, to wounded soldiers and the disabled. Meghan and Harry’s speeches and their whole attitude has been designed to give the impression that they are still fully paid-up royals and [Prince] William and his father, King Charles, don’t like it one bit.”

The royal expert added when the Sussexes’ trip to Nigeria concluded King Charles was “angrier than anyone has ever seen him” and “William [was] absolutely furious … Harry and Meghan have gone rogue–their Nigeria trip [was] a bold statement that they refuse to accept they are no longer working royals.”

Astrologer Predicts Meghan Markle, Prince Harry ‘Still Working Out’ Past Life Problems

Lucille Barilla — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 16:27:05 +0000

According to an astrologer, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s rumored troubled union may be based on past life problems. The couple, who returned to the spotlight with a new business initiative on CBS Sunday Morning, are “still working out” issues from their past, they claim.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s problems could stem from past issues

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who married in 2018, have been together in a past life, claims astrologer Carol Starr. She spoke to journalist Kinsley Schofield for her YouTube channel Kinsley Schofield Unfiltered, sharing her thoughts on how the couple’s past affects their present.

Starr shares, “Meghan is a highly intelligent person. She knows exactly what she’s done, what she’s doing, and where she’s going every minute of every day.”

“I do think she’s afraid of her emotions, that she’s not sure of herself all the time, and that she will have some self-doubt.”

“Harry has his problems. Worrying about the media,” Starr explains of the royal family member.

“I feel that they really do love each other. They’re working out a lot of problems from past lifetimes.” Starr believes.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reported relationship tension is ‘just life’

Astrologer Carol Starr believes that any chatter surrounding relationship tension between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is “just life.” She doesn’t subscribe to the belief that they are leading separate lives.

“When you choose to be in the spotlight, often it’s chosen for you,” Starr explains. “As far as Harry’s concerned, it was chosen for him.”

“But when you’re in it, it’s a whole different world. However, I think they are so over being in the spotlight,” she continued.

“Conversely, I think they do a lot of this stuff to get the public’s interest in them back up again,” Starr claims. “When you have that fame, you want to continue with it. You can say all you want, but I know she loves it much more than he does.”

Starr concluded, “They are in love, but they have a lot of problems. But I feel like they are working them out from past lifetimes. Maybe even more than one lifetime.”

Will Harry and Meghan stay together?

Despite constant chatter about the status of their marriage, Carol Starr believes that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in their relationship for the long haul. “I think they are going to stay together,” she claims.

“They’ve got kids. I think they really love each other. I keep going back to that, but I truly believe they’ve loved each other in past lifetimes,” Starr exclaims.

“But, they’ve always had a challenging relationship. She’s not going to sit there and let things happen around her. She has Mercury in Leo, so she says it, talks it and gets it out,” the astrologer says. “She doesn’t think when she talks, but it’s natural,” Starr concludes of Meghan’s outspoken nature.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are currently involved in an initiative with their Archewell Foundation. The couple discussed the online threats facing children via a new program called The Parents Network, which aims to support parents and guardians affected by the issue of cybersecurity for kids.

Body Language Expert Claims Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Interview Shows Couple ‘Further Apart’

Lucille Barilla — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 15:23:21 +0000

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to be drifting “further apart,” claims a body language expert who studied the couple’s new interview for CBS News Sunday Morning. They deduced their relationship has a “major change” ahead.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry don’t appear to be in synch

The Mirror spoke to body language expert Judi James, who found a marked difference in how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry carried themselves in contrast to prior taped interviews. The couple sat down with CBS News Sunday Morning to discuss a new initiative aligned with their Archewell Foundation.

The ex-senior royals discussed the online threats facing children with veteran newswoman Jane Pauley. Meghan and Harry have launched a new program called The Parents Network, which aims to support parents and guardians affected by the issue of cybersecurity for kids.

James states, “Their synchronicity and togetherness signals as a power couple suggest some growing maturity as they sit further apart than normal to perhaps promote themselves as individuals united by the cause as well as by their marriage. And by the way, the pace and tone of both speech and movement are so contrasting rather than blending them into one professional unit as they used to do years ago.”

She added, “Meghan’s signals during this clip suggest she’s taking the lead here, using a blend of celebrity charm and concern to create a relationship with their interviewer, making careful segues between their home life and their campaign. She has her arm out as though possibly breaching the gap between herself and Harry by placing her hand on his thigh, although the picture cuts before we can see where the hand actually lands.”

While Meghan took the lead, Harry seemed ‘disengaged,’ says body language expert

Judi James said that while Meghan Markle appeared animated throughout the interview, there appeared times when Prince Harry seemed otherwise. She called him “disengaged.”

“Her engagement with the interviewer is as powerful as Harry’s disengagement signals at the start of this clip while the two women speak,” James reveals. “We see him in the clip gazing off into the distance with a serious facial expression while his wife tells a much more sociable and emotional story.”

“When Harry suddenly and dramatically activates here, it is to interrupt the interviewer,” James adds. “His hands clasp as he does so, almost miming diving into the conversation; his brows are raised to make him look like the expert on his subject, and his chin is raised to reflect that message of authority. [Harry’s] pace is faster and more urgent than Meghan’s sociable tone, and she hides her face by doing a hair preen as she turns to look at him.”

Harry and Meghan’s initiative led to their first joint interview since 2021

The Archewell Foundation shared details regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s new initiative. This program, which assists parents of children online, led to the first sit-down joint interview the couple conducted since Oprah Winfrey’s 2021 tell-all about their split from the royal family.

The couple has partnered with The Parents’ Foundation to further assist caregivers in keeping their children safe online. Their initiative reads, “‘No More’” blaming families. ‘No More’ allowing social media companies to prioritize profit over our children’s safety.”

“‘No More’ watching our youth suffer. The time for change is now. And it begins with us,” the statement continues.

The message concludes, “Use your voice. Join our campaign. For our children, for your children, for all children.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reside in Montecito, California. They are parents to two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

King Charles Allegedly Claimed There Was ‘Not Enough Money’ to Fund Meghan Markle As a Working Royal When the She Wed Prince Harry

Julia Mullaney — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 16:45:00 +0000

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wed in a high-profile ceremony back in 2018 after just under two years of dating. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were already having problems with some members of the royal family, but they were still seemingly excited about taking on their new royal roles as a married couple. Harry had been a working royal for years prior to meeting Meghan, but it was a new adventure for the two of them to work together.

However, new bombshell claims suggest that King Charles allegedly had doubts about making Meghan a working royal due to a lack of funding.

Charles has always preferred a slimmed-down monarchy. The king, who took the throne in 2022 after Queen Elizabeth II’s death at age 96, has since maintained that position. But new reports in Robert Jobson’s book “Catherine, the Princess of Wales” suggest that Charles was actually considering not having Meghan Markle take on a working royal role.

According to Express, Jobson claims that sources told him Charles wasn’t certain he would ever make Meghan a working royal, saying that Harry “claimed that his father told him there was ‘not enough money to go around’ for Meghan, because he was already having to pay for William and Catherine.” Jobson added that “Harry was furious” over the consideration.

Ultimately, we know that Meghan did become a working royal and remained one for roughly two years before she and Harry stepped down from their official royal duties in 2020. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not completed royal duties on behalf of the monarchy since March of that year.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem content in their United States lives

Although Harry likely has moments where he misses his home country, he and Meghan seem content in their lives in California, where they’re raising their son and daughter, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Harry has returned to the UK a number of times, but Meghan has not been back since the queen’s funeral in 2022.

Harry has said more than once that he will not bring his family back to the UK until he is given better security, but not much has been done on Charles’ side to help him with that. It remains unclear whether Charles would be willing to work with Harry on that, though now that Harry and Meghan have been moved out for four years with no security change for the Sussexes, it’s hard to imagine Charles will do something about it at this point.
