Meghan is slightly adrift on the facts and reality, Vanity Fair's ex-editor says
The Duchess of Sussex is 'slightly adrift on the facts and reality', the former editor of Vanity Fair has said.
Graydon Carter, who was in charge when Meghan graced the cover of the magazine in 2017, said the then-Suits actress questioned why she was being asked about her relationship with the now-Duke of Sussex rather than her charity work.
Carter, in an interview with the New York Post, laughed as he recalled how Meghan challenged the Vanity Fair reporter, saying: 'Excuse me, is this going to all be about Prince Harry?
'Because I thought we were going to be talking about my charities and my philanthropy.'
Carter added: 'This woman is slightly adrift on the facts and reality.'
He admitted he had never heard of Meghan at the time and said 'I have no idea who that is' but was told by Vanity Fair's cover booker she merited a story 'because she's going to marry Prince Harry'.
Meghan, meanwhile, posted a rare photograph of herself with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on Monday.
The picture on both her Meghan, and her As Ever, Instagram accounts showed five-year-old Archie cuddling his mother's leg as she placed her arm around him, while also carrying three-year-old Lili in her arms as the youngster held a wicker basket in her hand in the garden setting.
The post, which did not show the children's faces, was captioned 'Every day is a love story' alongside a dove of peace emoji.
Meghan has faced widespread critical reviews of her Netflix lifestyle show With Love, Meghan this month, but has already filmed a second season and is focusing on her new brand As Ever.
Netflix co-chief executive Ted Sarandos backed the duchess last week, saying she and Harry are 'overly dismissed'.
The Sussexes signed a multimillion-pound deal with the streaming giant after stepping down from the working monarchy in 2020, but their most successful output so far has been their controversial Harry & Meghan documentary about their struggles in the royal family.
Netflix has also become a partner in the duchess's As Ever business, with the first products set to include raspberry jam, herbal tea and a ready made crepe mix.
Sarandos told Variety: 'I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture.'
He added: 'People are fascinated with Meghan Markle. She and Harry are overly dismissed.'
Meghan also added a new story to her Instagram account, featuring footage of birds flying in formation against a blue sky and the sun, and with the sound of the ocean, alongside the message: 'Flying into the week with my family (Thanks to my H for capturing this!).'
Squeals of delight can be heard – presumably the voices of Archie and Lili – with one of the youngsters shouting 'Wow'.

But the surprises didn't stop there — all of a sudden THREE brand new female bombshells dropped on the famous villa. Emily Moran, Malisha Jordan and Yasmin Pettet crashed the boys' party and didn't waste any time getting to know them. When Megan spotted the troublesome trio, she screamed: 'There's three of them!' A stunned Meg exclaimed: 'You're joking!' Harry propositioned the new bombshells: 'Are you coming back with us?' Malisha repled: 'Of course I am!' Yasmin then asked the boys: 'Tell us what your situation is in the villa at the moment?' While the boys filled the bombshell beauties in on their statuses, they were blissfully unaware that everything they said was watched by the girls. And the boys didn't hold back with their responses, making it a Friday the 13th to remember on Love Island… Love Island fans slam Meg for 'trying to be iconic' as she furiously confronts rival and villa descends into chaos Who is Malisha Jordan? Malisha Jordan is a teaching assistant from Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, who entered Love Island 2025 as a bombshell. The 24-year-old has only 15 photos on her Instagram profile — stunning snaps showing her travels abroad from destinations including Italy, Egypt, Dubai and and Marrakesh. As of June 16, 2025, she has just under 3,000 followers on the platform, but that number is sure to rise during her time o the show. Malisha's requirements for a perfect match are rather specific: "A tall, dark, handsome man. He has to be very tall. I'm 5ft7/ 5ft8. I want to be able to wear heels and feel feminine. I want to find a man. Actually, I want to find a husband, that's what I want to find Malisha Jordan "He has to be funny, but not too funny — I have to be the funniest. "I want someone that's caring and a bit loving, but then I like someone that can give me a bit of rude banter. I like to be a bit cheeky." But it doesn't end there, as she continued: "I like nice teeth. "I've said it already, but I really like someone funny. 4 Malisha's major icks are bad hygiene and snoring Credit: malishaa.j/Instagram "Someone who's calm, but not too nonchalant. Someone that's really loving and is all about me. "They need to know what they want. I like a determined man who is like 'I want you and I'm coming for you'." On the other end of the spectrum, she has more than one biggest ick: "Bad hygiene and snoring. I'm such an angelic sleeper." And she has no qualms about stealing another Islander's boy: "If I want it, I'm going to get it. I always get what I want. "I'm an only child, so of course I'm going to get what I want. I'm in there for myself. "I want to find a man. Actually, I want to find a husband, that's what I want to find." LOVE ISLAND CONTINUES TONIGHT AT 9PM ON ITV2 AND ITVX.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE latest sexy singleton being lined up to enter the famous Mallorca villa as a bombshell is Emma Silverton. Here's everything we know about the Love Island 2025 contestant — who was previously linked with Premier League legend Jack Grealish.

As exclusively revealed by The Sun, Emma Silverton from Devon is being lined up as a bombshell on Love Island 2025. She has previously been linked with England footballer Jack Grealish, who has been left out of Man City's Club World Cup squad in the US amid rumours he will be sold by the club. Emma was seen leaving a celebrity nightspot with him earlier this year. In February 2025, the Manchester City winger was pictured being followed out of the Chiltern Firehouse in central London by Emma, who used to work there. 'She's not with me' New dad Grealish, who was out and about with pal Jaydon Gibbs, was heard shouting, 'She's not with me,' before doubling back inside. He then came back outside and got into a chauffeur-driven car, with witnesses claiming Emma then popped her head out of the window of a black cab to ask: 'Are you guys coming or not?' Gibbs, whose twin bro Kieran is a former Arsenal defender, joined her in the cab and told the driver to 'follow that car'. The next day, Grealish celebrated Valentine's Day with his girlfriend Sasha Attwood, who gave birth to their daughter in September 2024. Emma is now set to make a late entry into the latest series of Love Island. As well as working as a hostess at the Chiltern Firehouse, Emma was on the books of a New York modelling agency for six years, working for designers including Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake, Sonia Rykiel and Burberry. Villa chaos as one Islander tries to split up couple – and another pair sneak to the Hideaway Since 2022, 5ft 11in Emma has worked as a freelance photographer, and also on movie and music video projects. A source said: 'Emma is an absolute showstopper and is lots of fun, so will make a terrific bombshell. 'As always, bombshells are picked as the action unfolds to ensure the most tempting Islanders are chosen to suit each storyline.' Bomshell bonanza The news comes as two new male bombshells have dropped on the villa — semi-pro footballer Shea Mannings and fitness influencer Remell Mullins. Shea is a 6ft 4 striker from Brighton with an Instagram bursting with action shots from his time on the pitch. Remell boasts over 18million likes and half a million followers on TikTok thanks to his sizzling body transformation videos. A source told The Sun: "The two new boys are already in the villa and immediately started turning heads. "The OG lads thought they were safe but three bombshells in three days shows that producers aren't messing around."
