Prince Harry is totally whipped by Meghan, even the King knows it – she'll hate his reduced status now, expert says
PRINCE Harry is totally "whipped" by his wife Meghan Markle and even King Charles know it, a royal expert has claimed. Writer and broadcaster Esther Krauke also added that the Duchess of Sussex, 43, will also hate her reduced status among the Royal Family. 5 5 Ms Krauke, made the comments while appearing on the Royal Exclusive show with The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, alongside co-guest royal biographer Phil Dampier. She said: 'We know that King Charles said something about him being whipped. 'We keep hearing things consistently coming out from courtiers and people that are close to the Royal Family.' It is stressed that the implication here was that Harry was under the thumb of his wife, rather than any suggestion of physical abuse. Ms Krauke added that both the late Queen's and the country's opinion of Meghan Markle had evolved over time. She said: 'The Queen's opinion of Meghan involved, and it's much like how the country's opinion evolved. 'And much like the public, I think the Queen thought Meghan was a breath of fresh air. 'Very intelligent, very well-spoken, obviously from her acting background. 'And she worked, she welcomed her. I think, like much of the country with open arms, I think where things went wrong was clearly the cultural clash.' She added: 'And I think in some ways Meghan thought she was marrying a billionaire, but was marrying a millionaire with like sort of a reduced status. 'So that might have been not appealing eventually. New Meghan allegations are dynamite, they prove she sees Prince Harry as a stepping stone 'But also I just I don't think she fully understood or was even interested in what the role was supposed to become. 'She hadn't earned enough brownie points to actually be able to choose the tools she wanted to go on in the way that she wanted to do or curate her image in the same way, you know, most people would just be like, oh, you have to kind of have skin in the game. 'You have to have, I'm sorry. 'Open schools in Wales on a rainy day for a number of years before you ingratiate yourself and garner that goodwill. 'But I don't think she had that approach or attitude. And you could say it's very American, you know, very can-do spirit.' Mr Dampier previously gave his opinions on the views expressed by royal biographer Bedell Smith that Queen Elizabeth II had shared her alleged doubts over the new Duchess, and feared Harry was "weak". Mr Dampier said the author was extremely close to Lady Elizabeth Anson, who was a confidante and a cousin of the Queen. "And Liza Shockley, as Sally Smith likes to call her, she was speaking to the Queen on a regular basis right up until her death, spoke to her every day, even in lockdown," he continued. Mr Dampier claimed, therefore, this meant information had come "right from the horse's mouth". He also alleged "we can trust this information", which is "very, very telling". In harsh comments, the expert shared his thoughts: "And to be honest, it confirms what we'd already suspected that you know, that at first the Queen was very keen on Meghan." Mr Dampier further alleged the Queen's reported "doubts" about Meghan "ruined her close relationship with Harry". Bedell Smith also claimed Meghan was rude to the late Queen for 10 minutes over wedding details. "She remarked that Harry was perhaps a little bit too much in love, was possibly besotted and a bit weak and being manipulated by Meghan," he continued. Sharing his own opinions, Mr Dampier added: "I think, unfortunately, that confirms what I've been saying or thought for the last few years that, sadly, Meghan never really had any intention of staying in the royal family. "She saw as a stepping stone getting married to to Harry to to to new fame and fortune. "And I think that's what initially Prince William was concerned about. And that's why they fell out. And now we are where we are. But to have this confirmed by somebody so close to the Queen is, is is really dynamite." This comes as for the first time, the Queen's private concerns have been made public in heartbreaking detail — showing just how perceptive she proved to be. This week Sally published 'explosive' revelations made to her by one of Her Majesty's closest confidantes, her first cousin once removed, Lady Elizabeth Anson, in several conversations in 2018 and 2019. Lady Elizabeth claimed there were serious concerns in the upper echelons of the Palace, long before Harry and Meghan made themselves royal pariahs. Just days before the wedding, she had told Sally: 'We hope but don't quite think [Meghan] is in love. 'We think she engineered it all.' She added: 'It's worrying that so many people are questioning whether Meghan is right for Harry. 'The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both." The observations by Lady Elizabeth, who died from lung cancer in November 2020 aged 79, show the warning signs were there from the start — and proved well-founded. She said Meghan had initially appeared 'natural, intelligent and thoughtful' after getting engaged to Harry in 2017. But as their wedding approached, they both caused a stir with their poor behaviour — and blatant disrespect for the Queen. Harry was reportedly 'rude to her for ten minutes' in one meeting and upset her by asking the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform the wedding service in May 2018, without first seeking permission from the Dean of Windsor. In January 2020, Harry and Meghan announced they had chosen to 'transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution'. At first, it seemed they wanted to keep one foot in the royal fold, while pursuing financial opportunities on the outside. But after months of negotiations, the Queen and the then Prince Charles laid down the law — they were either fully in or fully out. There was no in-between. The couple opted for the latter and moved to the US later that year, infamously launching a crusade of Palace-bashing and com- plaints against the royals in the aftermath. 5 5

We quit our NHS nursing jobs to turn rundown caravans into glam holiday rentals – with zero DIY experience
TWO friends have revealed they quit their NHS nursing jobs to turn dirty, rundown caravans into holiday rentals. The duo, who go by The Shoreline Sisters, let viewers on TikTok into their journey with a viral video. 3 3 3 In the clip, the pair got to work deep cleaning a rundown caravan, scrubbing, vacuuming, and dusting every nook and cranny. Despite the huge challenge, the pair admitted they actually don't have any experience, but wanted to give it a go anyway. "Decided to quit our nursing jobs and flip caravans instead. "No experience, just two girls with the mentality of 'no risk, no reward'," the text over the viral video said. The friends started their first mammoth cleaning task by cleaning the fabric of the built-in sofas. The grey upholstery was clearly dirty, but it wasn't until they emptied the cleaner it was clear just how gross the sofas really were. After washing away the dirty brown liquid, the next job was to clean the bathroom. Everything got a good scrub to get it up to scratch. Even the vents were removed and dusted to make sure everything was as clean as it could possibly be. "Day one complete," the pair said, as they ended the clip. I bought a dated caravan & turned it into my family's very own second home for £4.5k - now we holiday for just £10 a day Of course, the friends still have quite a way to go with their project, but after racking up a whopping 270k views on their first video many people chimed in to show their support. One said: "Quitting my nursing job and doing that would be amazing! No appreciating in the job anymore." "I don't blame you, I quit and worked the wards as a band three for three years. Nursing 19 years," a second chimed in. And a third said: "Wonderful inspiration!! So many in the NHS dream of this and you've only gone and done it! All the best ladies!" In the comments the pair also gave more of an insight into their plans going forward. "We are buying and renting but also offering a management service for people who don't live in the area and want someone local to manage their caravan for them," they said. Why caravan holidays are so underrated CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break. Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated... WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays. As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. I still love caravan holidays as an adult. In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. And then, of course, there's the cost. Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad. I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day.
