Meghan Markle ‘berated' wedding caterer so aggressively Queen Elizabeth had to step in

Sky News AU19-05-2025

A royal biographer has alleged Meghan Markle 'berated' her wedding caterer so harshly that the late Queen Elizabeth had to step in.
Royal biographer Katie Nicholl claimed the Duchess of Sussex had a tense exchange with her caterer leading up to her wedding with Prince Harry.
Nicholl's claim about the Duchess of Sussex came in her book 'The New Royals', per the Daily Mail.
'On one occasion in the run-up to the wedding, Meghan went to Windsor Castle for a menu tasting and ended up having a tense exchange with a member of staff,' Nicholl wrote.
A source told Nicholl that the tense exchange came when the duchess said 'she could taste egg' when tasting some of the dishes.
'Meghan was at the castle to taste some of the dishes, and told one of the caterers she could taste egg,' the source revealed.
'She got quite upset, saying that the dish was meant to be vegan and macrobiotic.'
According to the source, Markle's behaviour towards the caterer was so bad that the late Queen Elizabeth had to intervene.
'Suddenly, the Queen walked in and said: 'Meghan, in this family we don't speak to people like that,'' the source said.

Lord Julian Fellowes 'doing alright' despite mobility issues

Lord Julian Fellowes is "doing alright", despite his mobility issues. The Downton Abbey creator previously revealed he had been using a wheelchair due to spinal stenosis - a narrowing of the spinal canal that can put pressure on the spinal cord - but he insisted his condition hasn't stopped him from being able to work or get on with his life. He told Deadline: 'I've got these mobility issues, and I use a wheelchair rather more than I would like, but that's not the same as feeling ill. 'I think you can stand anything like that as long as you feel okay, and that's the position I'm in now. I have to use a wheelchair because my spine doesn't work as it used to. But in terms of feeling okay and getting on with things and working and all that stuff, I'm fine. "There are many people much worse off than I am.' The 75-year-old writer explained in January that he had undergone surgery for spinal stenosis for a second time, but hadn't recovered as well as he had hoped to because he is much older now than when he had his first operation. He told the Daily Mail newspaper's Eden Confidential column: "It's true that I do spend too much time in a wheelchair these days. "About 40 years ago, I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, probably resulting from an early slipped disc. I had an operation and, after quite a long convalescence, I was well again, dancing, riding and the rest. "Unluckily, a couple of years ago, I was told the condition had returned and, after another operation, I was obliged to recognise that my powers of recovery at 75 were not quite what they had been at 35. Which, I suppose, is no great surprise." But Julian doesn't feel "unlucky" because other people have "far worse" health issues to deal with. He added: "I am not entirely immobile, but I do have to remain sitting for most of the time. I don't consider myself unlucky in this. Other people have far worse to put up with."

Meghan confirmed for upcoming royal clash

Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN LONDON Meghan has been confirmed as a guest of honour at a glitzy, black-tie event in Los Angeles as her husband's family steps out for one of the biggest days on the royal calendar. There will once again be a Sussex/royal diary clash on Saturday as the duchess attends the Museum of Natural History's Night of Wonder gala on the same day as Trooping the Colour, the King's official birthday celebrations, take place in London. Meghan will be honoured for her charity work and give a speech at the star-studded event, which is focusing on advancing community wellbeing and increasing opportunities for the disadvantaged. It's not yet been made clear whether Prince Harry will also attend. Harry and Meghan at Beyoncé's LA concert last month.

It's expected that Prince William, Kate, the Princess of Wales, and their three children – Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince George, 6 – will join the King and Queen and other senior royals for the occasion, which draws a crowd of thousands to The Mall.

It's understood the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and his family are at an all-time-low, with Harry even giving a no-holds-barred interview with the BBC in early May. In it, he revealed the King no longer takes his calls, that he doesn't know 'how long he has left' amid his cancer battle, and then asked his family for 'reconciliation'. Meghan divided opinion with the release of a video of her and Harry dancing in a birthing suite. Picture: Instagram Meanwhile, news of Meghan's outing this weekend comes just days after she divided followers with the release of a throwback video in honour of her and Harry's daughter's fourth birthday, which featured the pair of them taking part in a viral TikTok dance challenge in the birthing suite on the day she was born. 'Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates … so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!' she captioned the video of the couple dancing to the 'Baby Mama Dance Song'. While it appeared to be designed as a relatable moment, it didn't quite land with a lot of her followers, who branded it 'peak cringe'.

‘Burn these pants': Queen Mary of Denmark makes rare fashion faux pas in bizarre culottes ensemble

Denmark's Queen Mary has made a rare fashion misstep after arriving to a major engagement in Copenhagen wearing a pair of linen culottes. Last week, Mary stepped out in a grey jacket and matching culottes by Danish designer Mark Kenly Domino Tan. The Hobart-native appeared to blend her Danish and Aussie identities by pairing the bold look with a woven two-tone belt by Aussie label Zimmerman. Mary, 53, completed the risk-taking look with light brown suede heels from Gianvito Rossi. The Aussie-born royal made the daring sartorial choice while attending – ironically - the Global Fashion Summit at Copenhagen's DR Concert Hall. Eagle-eyed fans quickly honed in on the awkward length of the culottes, as well as the unmissable wrinkles on the fussy material. 'Not one of her finest choices. Look at all the wrinkles in that material!" one royal watcher wrote via the Daily Mail. 'Queen Mary, burn these pants. Lovely jacket, lovely belt, but please, please, please burn the pants,' added a second style commenter. 'Missed the mark this time. Outfit makes her look stocky and crinkled,' said a third. 'The outfit looks too messy and wrinkled, and that mousy grey isn't helping either,' another fashion fan said. 'This was indeed rare miss for Mary.' Mary's bold look marked the second time she had worn the polarising culottes after previously debuting the pants during her recent state visit to France with King Frederik. In Paris, Mary paired the grey two-piece look with Aquazzura over-the-knee stiletto boots, a high neck black top and a delightful brooch pinned to the jacket. At the time, Vogue Scandinavia diplomatically called the culottes 'slightly edgier' than the popular royal's usual style.
