Meghan Markle would be eviscerated if she walked out on Prince Harry, her reputation would implode, claims expert
MEGHAN Markle would be 'eviscerated' if she left Prince Harry, according to a royal expert. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently celebrated their seven-year wedding anniversary this month - but insiders admit the pair have gone on a so-called 'professional separation'. 5 5 While the source said they would be 'stunned' if the couple ever split romantically, they do seem to have different goals, with former Suits actress Meghan dreaming of being a billionaire and a celebrity. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, Newsweek's Chief Royal Correspondent Jack Royston said: 'Imagine if Meghan left Harry, it would destroy her reputation. 'She would be eviscerated publicly because she's already slipped into this kind of category on social media, the way that pop culture commentators talk about her. 'They lump her in with these other famous women who are perceived as being narcissistic or being controlling of their husbands. 'Alec Baldwin's wife got this treatment the other day. So Blake Lively as well. 'So if she walked out on Harry, she would never reputationally survive it. 'But then Harry without Meghan, what's his life in America going to be like?' Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine Ingrid Seward said: 'I think that they are dependent on each other though.' She added that she didn't think that Prince Harry would ever leave his two children, Prince Archie, six, and Lilibet, three. Ingrid continued: 'Well, he wouldn't leave the children. Prince Harry & Meghan Markle danced the night away at Beyonce gig - but he STILL looked glum, says expert 'And in America, the rules about children, it's they're always with the mother, nearly always. 'So it's not going to happen. 'Do you remember when they got married, a lot of members actually of the royal family even said it won't last five years. 'It's lasted seven.' After Ingrid claimed that Harry and Meghan have a 'symbiotic relationship', Jack shared: 'They need each other.' He added: 'With Harry she's nothing. 'And without her, Harry's life in America is nothing.' 5 5 However, Jack added: 'He has a reputation to fall back on.' Currently Prince Harry is increasingly estranged from Britain and his family amid defeat in his High Court battle to overturn a protection downgrade since their 2020 'Megxit', when he and Meghan quit as working royals to live in the US. While the Prince has raked in millions by revealing family conversations and secrets in his best-selling memoir, Spare, Meghan has become a 'mumpreneur', with a string of major launches, from a cookery show to a jam-selling business. Sources have insisted it is normal for couples not to spend all their time together. PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have lived in their luxury Montecito mansion since they splashed out £11.93m on it in June 2020. The sprawling nine-bed, 16-bath home in Santa Barbara sits on 5.4 acres of land and features a library, office, spa, gym, game room, wine cellar and five-car garage, it's believed. The estate also boasts sweeping lawns, tiered rose gardens, tall Italian cypress trees, blooming lavender, olive trees, a tennis court, tea house, children's cottage and a pool. The couple have treated fans to glimpses of their multiple living spaces on several occasions - showing off a minimalist vibe. It is said to have more than doubled in value since the former royals bought it.

Meghan's a narcissist & desperate to look happy with Harry, her pathetic moodboard's proof, expert slams
MEGHAN Markle is desperate to show the world how happy Harry is with her through a "narcissistic" mood board, an expert claimed. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared a collage of photographs showing memories made throughout her seven-year relationship with the Duke. 7 7 7 7 In a post on Instagram, the mum-of-two also thanked those who have been by the pair's side. Snaps of Archie and Lilibet were spotted during happy family picnics and activities. One photo appears to show big brother Archie kissing his little sister, while another appears to show his baby scan. Handwritten lyrics of Ben E King's Stand by Me were also displayed, along with what appears to the coat of arms approved by the late Queen when Meghan became a Duchess on her wedding in May 2018. Royal expert Ingrid Seward told the Royal Exclusive Show how the cringey display was over the top. She told The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson: "I mean I've never heard of someone doing a mood board for a wedding anniversary, but maybe it does happen now. "But I think it's... Meghan is just so Californian in everything she does. "And that is not a criticism, that's the way they do things. "Probably it's completely normal. But I just think it's... you can look but you can't touch sort of thing. "You know, these are my children but they're tiny, tiny pictures so you can't see them. And aren't Harry and I happy? "It seems to me such a very narcissistic way of doing things to celebrate an anniversary. "Showing it to the world. Surely if they really were as happy as she makes out she wouldn't need to tell anyone. "That's what it smacks of to me." The duchess captioned the post: "Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories. 7 7 7 "Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story - we appreciate you. "Happy anniversary!" Other pictures on the board show Harry and Meghan smiling together on a number of trips together. They range from snowy excursions as well as visits to sunnier destinations over their seven years together. Fellow royal expert Hugo Vickers previously told The Sun: "She obviously wants to put out the message that all is well, and that they're a happy and united family, and I guess that leaves the rest of us to make up our minds as to whether we go along with it." However, he said while he wishes the couple no ill-will as they celebrate their wedding anniversary: "It doesn't really say very much, does it? It's sort of more of the same." He added while it appears initially like a "glance at their life... Actually, you don't come away feeling you know anything more or anything better from it". Mr Vickers said while many of the photos seem posed as opposed to wholly natural: "I wouldn't personally be expecting them to put anything more intimate... "Why should they show us them sitting in front of the television? If indeed they ever do, it's just a staged thing." The mood board post followed a loved up display put on by the pair as they attended a Beyonce's concert earlier this month. The Sussexes were seen dancing in a luxury suite worth thousands of dollars at the singer's Cowboy Carter tour in LA. It came as rumours circulate they are living separate lives. Speaking on our first ever Royal Exclusive Live show, Arthur Edwards and Jennie Bond lifted the lid on the power couple's recent time apart. Sun legend Arthur revealed how the pair are 'doing things separately now' after failing to be spotted together in three weeks. Meanwhile Ms Bond, a royal correspondent for the last 35 years, also revealed: " Meghan is not popular. She doesn't want to come back and they are going their own ways, to some extent". Meghan Markle ALWAYS rejects her friends when things don't go her way By Summer Raemason MEGHAN Markle always rejects her friends when things don't go her way, a royal expert has claimed. In the very same way, Meghan also "dumped" the royal family when things failed to work out for her in Britain, the expert added. It comes after reports claimed Meghan dropped her former best pal Edward Enninful after a row over the cover of Vogue. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, and the former magazine editor were once thick as thieves who bonded over mint tea and "philosophising". The ex- Suits actress said the duo were "like-minded thinkers" after she helped edit an edition in 2019. But insiders told the Mail on Sunday that the pair cut contact over Enninful's plans to cover Meghan and Harry's charity work in a feature. Royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun: "None of this surprises me at all, because we see it the whole time when things don't go her way. She just overreacts. "Clearly in this case with Edward Enninful, she has made something of an enemy, because he then dropped her from something she would have liked to be a part of, and it seems to happen the whole time. "She's very demanding. She's difficult to work with. She has her ideas of what she wants to do, and she doesn't seem to want to listen to anybody else, and that's when you get into a trouble." Mr Vickers also highlighted how many people are now removed from Meghan's life, from ex-husbands to close pals. She is estranged from her father Thomas Markle over drama surrounding her wedding with Prince Harry in 2018. Her shocking claims surrounding the Royal Family since quitting the UK in 2020, from her Oprah interview to Netflix documentary, have also seen her alienated from her in-laws. And countless staff members have joined a long list of people who no longer wish to associate with the mum-of-two. "There is a theme which runs through all this is that she's always rejecting people, or indeed, falls out with," said Mr Vickers. "Her father for one, who was very good to her when she was growing up, her first husband just gets dumped, her Canadian chef lover in Canada, dumped as well. "Jessica Mulroney, her great friend in Canada, dumped, the entire British Royal family, and apart from her mother, all her own family." He dubbed the reported fall out with Enninful a "normal theme" and added "everything she does seems to go wrong".

Lady Louise's love for horses that she inherited from her late grandmother the Queen - and all about the boy she met at St Andrews
There's no one quite like grandma. This is especially true for Lady Louise Windsor, Prince Edward and Sophie's only daughter. It has long been rumoured that Louise was the Queen's favourite grandchild, with the two sharing a love of horses and the outdoors. As Louise is due to attend this year's Royal Windsor Horse Show, she will continue her grandparents ' legacy. Louise, an accomplished equestrian, was taught to ride at an early age and joined her father on horseback as part of the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations in Windsor in 2016. Prior to the Queen's death, royal expert Ingrid Seward said the late monarch and her granddaughter Louise were 'extremely close'. 'She is like another daughter to the Queen,' she said. Louise could follow in the footsteps of her closely held grandmother, with the two having been compared on a number of occasions. Louise with her boyfriend Felix da Silva-Clamp after he hopped on her carriage for a ride in between events at Sandringham in Norfolk Commenting on the likened nature of the two, Ingrid Seward said: 'There are shades of the young Elizabeth. There is something about her – a capability. 'She's obviously a very gentle young woman.' Seward explained that Louise and her brother, James, Earl of Wessex, 'were the grandchildren that they saw the most'. In comparison, 'while the older ones were seen less frequently, this little girl was there every weekend'. It was even reported that Louise had no idea her grandmother was the Queen until later in life, with her parents wanting to preserve a 'normal childhood' for her. Her mother, Sophie, once revealed in an interview that as a child, Louise had come home one day saying: 'Mummy, people keep on telling me that grandma is the Queen.' Louise is also a skilled carriage driver, with Sophie saying she gained a 'great passion' and a 'natural curiosity' from her grandfather. She made her driving debut at the age of 17 in 2021 and in 2022 she drove one of Prince Philip's carriages at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, in front of the Queen The 21-year-old bares a striking resemblance to her late grandmother in her youth and was carriage-taught by her grandfather Prince Philip. Despite not competing in the horse show last year, Louise was hard at work helping to organise the event. Following his retirement, Philip had more time to enjoy carriage-driving - a favourite pasttime since the 1970s. He raced carriages near Norfolk before going on to represent Britain at several world and European championships. Seward said: 'Prince Philip took pleasure in watching Louise compete at the Royal Windsor Horse Show. 'He would have made sure she had some top-class tuition from one of his grooms and of course the availability of ponies and carriages to drive.' Lady Louise now takes part in competitions and has driven her grandfather's ponies as a way to keep his memory alive. Philip shared a special bond with Lady Louise because of the sport and left her his carriage when he died in 2021. As a student at St Andrews, Louise has been seen competing and volunteering at equestrian events But horses aren't the only love in Louise's life. Last June she was photographed with Felix da Silva-Clamp as she took part in the Sandringham Horse Driving Trials in Norfolk. After her first event, Louise took Felix for a ride around on her carriage. He appeared to get on well with Louise's parents, beaming as he chatted to the Duchess of Edinburgh. The two met at St Andrews, where her cousin Prince William famously met his future wife. It is believed that Louise and Felix struck up a friendship when they were cast in a play together. Felix was born in Kensington and is the son of solicitor Jonathan Charles William da Silva-Clamp - who contested the 2022 local Wandsworth elections as a Tory candidate for Shaftesbury and Queenstown. Felix works in an ice cream parlour in St Andrews while undertaking his studies, according to the Daily Express. Although Felix was born in London, he went to Melbourne Grammar School and his mother still lives in Australia. It has been reported that Lady Louise is keen to jet off to Australia for her final year - with Macquarie University at the top of her list. A source told the Express that due to Felix previously attending a school in Australia, studying abroad is an option he and Lady Louise are considering. The young royal is pictured with her father Prince Edward at Windsor Castle in 2021 Louise is also said to have 'fallen in love' with Army cadets alongside her university degree - much like her father did a generation earlier. If the royal - who has maintained a low profile during her university days - goes down the military path, she will be the first female royal since her late grandmother to do so. Queen Elizabeth was a Junior Commander with the Auxiliary Territorial Service during the Second World War. Elizabeth made history as the first royal woman to become a full-time member of the armed services, after she signed up within a year of turning 18. While Louise often shies away from the spotlight, instead keeping a firm focus on her education, she may become a rising star among the younger generation of royals.

The Surprising Revelation Princess Diana Made About Who "Ruined" Her Marriage to King Charles
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Much has been written about Princess Diana and King Charles's marriage, including the fact that both royals had extramarital affairs during the relationship. According to a royal expert who was friendly with the former Princess of Wales, Diana actually opened up about the person she held responsible for her failed marriage to Charles shortly before she died in 1997. During an appearance on Hello!'s "A Right Royal Podcast," royal expert and author Ingrid Seward shared, "She said to me just before she died, it wasn't Camilla." According to Seward, Princess Diana told her, "It wasn't Camilla that ruined our marriage, it was the people around Charles." The royal author continued, "And I could never unpick that comment and quite understand what it meant. But I also remember Diana's father saying how tricky the royal household was." Both Charles and Diana publicly admitted to having affairs with other people while still married to one another. While Diana confirmed her affair with horseback riding instructor James Hewitt during her Panorama interview, King Charles discussed his extramarital relationship with Queen Camilla in his own TV interview. Earlier this year, the Daily Mail's royal editor, Rebecca English, spoke with some of King Charles's closest friends, who suggested the monarch regretted his past behavior. "Both of them [Charles and Diana] behaved badly in that first marriage and made decisions that none of us could ever condone," one source said. "But we can seek to try to understand them." In the article, English wrote of The King, "Charles still deeply 'regrets' the pain and sadness caused." Another of Charles's friends discussed The King's marriage to Diana, saying, "When you look back on it now, asking someone to for the sake of their public persona seems really quite cruel."

How Princess Diana Would React to Son Harry's BBC Interview: Expert
Princess Diana 'might have been proud' of son Prince Harry's startling BBC News interview, according to a royal expert. 'I think she might have been proud, [and said], 'I'm glad you said what you thought',' author Ingrid Seward told Hello! Magazine's 'A Right Royal Podcast' in an interview published on Saturday, May 10. Prince Harry, 40, gave a wide-ranging interview in the U.K. last week after losing the latest round in his long-standing court battle to reinstate government-funded security in the U.K. The prince and wife Meghan Markle lost their full-time security detail when they stepped down from royal duties — with security decisions now judged on a case-by-case basis. Buckingham Palace supported the dismissal in a statement, saying, 'All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.' Why King Charles May Never Reconcile With Prince Harry Amid Painful Feud: 'So Complicated,' Source Says Speaking to BBC News after the verdict, Prince Harry confirmed his father, King Charles III, 'won't speak to [him]' due to the legal battle but expressed hope to 'reconcile' due to the king's 2024 cancer diagnosis. Seward, 77, was a close confidant of Princess Diana in her lifetime and suggested she may have empathized with her son because of her own 1995 bombshell interview with the BBC's Panorama. In that interview, Princess Diana aired her grievances with the royal family and spoke about her divorce from then-Prince Charles. 'I think [Diana] would [be proud of Harry], I'm guessing, that she might have been quite proud of him for speaking up and saying what he thought, because that's what she liked,' the author insisted. 'She liked to say exactly what she thought and then deal with the consequences afterwards, which is, of course, what happened to her.' In the emotional BBC News interview, Prince Harry insisted that he'd 'forgiven' his family for the 'many disagreements' that led to their rift. 'I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore,' Harry declared. 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has.' Another royal expert, Richard Fitzwilliams, exclusively told Us Weekly that Harry's candid comments about his relationship with King Charles III likely wouldn't help heal their rift. 'I think it will confirm the king's view that he is not to be trusted. The previous attempts by the Sussexes to monetize their royal connections led to the deep rift that exists,' Fitzwilliams told Us. 'His comments on the monarch's health are unlikely to have gone down well either.' Prince Harry's Most Illuminating Quotes About His Relationship With King Charles III Christopher Andersen, a royal expert and author, offered a similar assessment about the likelihood of Prince Harry reconciling with his father any time soon. '[Harry] slams his father for interfering in the trial, then says the Palace rigged the outcome, then accuses the Royal Family of not caring about the safety of his wife and children, and winds up declaring that for now he can't foresee any scenario in which he would take his family to the U.K.,' Andersen explained to Us. 'Harry delivered the coup de grace when he said he wanted to bury the hatchet with his father because he doesn't know how much time the King has left to live.' A royal insider also exclusively told Us that Princes Harry and William likely won't be mending fences anytime soon either, as their relationship has hit an all-time low. Prince Harry Honors Mom Princess Diana in 1st Public Appearance Since Speaking Out on King Charles Rift 'William doesn't talk about Harry anymore,' a royal source told Us exclusively. 'Everyone knows it's a subject that they shouldn't bring up, so he hasn't brought up the interview and won't.' Harry and Meghan have seemingly moved on from the ordeal for now, as they packed on the PDA while attending Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour on Friday, May 9, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
