Meghan Markle latest news: Meg’s dad Thomas to ‘tell his truth’ as Harry & Duchess slam leaders over vaccine equity

Meghan's love for animals

Meghan is a staunch animal rights activist and even reportedly talked Harry out of attending royal fox hunts.

She is also a patron of the London-based Mayhew Trust animal charity and has been pictured cuddling pets at the premises.

Mayhew's media officer Satah Hastelow previously described Meghan as a "champion of animals and animal welfare".

Why is the Sussexes mansion at risk of killer MUDSLIDE?

The potential for mudslides in the area continues to rise after wildfires incinerated much of the vegetation that protects the hilly land around the village.

Wildfires devastated Santa Barbara County in late 2017, destroying 1,063 structures and causing $2.2billion of damage.

Terry Cunningham, 62, who used to own the Sussexes’ home, said: “Their place wasn’t touched during the mudslides but it’s near enough to the creek that you’d pay attention if it happened again.”

And Montecito Fire Chief Kevin Taylor warned: “We are still at risk for debris flow and will be for a couple of years.”

Canadian PM says Queen ‘was as insightful as ever’

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the Queen was as “insightful and perspicacious as ever” when he spoke to her on Monday.

Mr Trudeau, who is in the UK for talks on Ukraine, said he had an audience with the Queen – who recently had Covid-19 – at Windsor Castle.

“I can tell you that in my conversation with her this morning she was as insightful and perspicacious as ever, very interested in what is going on, asked me all sorts of questions about Canada,” he told a Downing Street news conference.

“We had a really useful, for me anyway, conversation about global events, as we always do.”

Ongoing legal battle

Harry admitted in his chat with Oprah it was when he was told his security would be taken away that he realised he needed to quickly find a source of income for his family.

The duke was stripped of his police protection after quitting life as a senior royal.

Harry said he had been shocked by the decision to remove funding for his security, saying he had “inherited” the risk after being born into the Royal Family.

And Meghan said she wrote to the Firm begging them to continue funding it after seeing death threats.

One year on, Harry continues to fund his own private protection, and he recently launched a legal battle against the Government over the decision to take away his police bodyguards – claiming it is unsafe for his family to return to the UK without them.

The legal battle is ongoing.

Prince’s Harry and Meghan anguish exposed

According to a royal expert, Prince William was left at his “lowest point” following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from the Firm.

Royal author Robert Hardman, said that the Oprah interview in particular impacted Harry’s older brother, William.

In an extract of his new book, ‘Queen Of Our Times: The Life Of Elizabeth II’ ​​published by Macmillan on March 17, Mr Hardman wrote: “For Prince William, there was the added anguish of seeing the younger brother whom he had protected (and who had idolised him) now throwing incendiary and, in some cases, unanswerable charges into the public domain, fully aware of their likely impact.

“Since the Oprah interview, the brothers have only met twice — at Prince Philip’s funeral and at the unveiling of the statue of their mother at Kensington Palace.”

Harry & Meghan advised to ditch attention-seeking stunts

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been urged to only return to the UK for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee if they can “keep it quiet”, a royal expert has said.

Royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti claimed it would “probably be better” if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not return, saying that it would “steal” attention from her.

Speaking to Us Weekly’s Royally Us, Mr Sacerdoti said: “I don’t personally imagine Meghan coming to the UK very easily.

“She may prove me wrong but people here have such a low opinion of her if not of both of them these days that I think she would be very brave to come back to the UK.

“But I do still say that if they could come back and if they could not be front and centre, keep it quiet but just come back to help celebrate not just for the Queen but for the whole country then that will probably be very nice and it might rehabilitate them somewhat towards the British people.

“I don’t really think that’s their style anymore.

“They don’t like to do things quietly, they don’t like someone else to be the centre of attention when they’re around and I think that where Harry and Meghan go, it’s the Harry and Meghan show.”

Prince Harry tipped to attend Charles’ coronation

A royal author has claimed that Prince Harry will “certainly” be a part of his father Prince Charles’ coronation.

Apparently, Harry will attend alongside his wife Meghan to “re-invigorate” the “royal aspect” of the Sussexes’ brand.

Pauline Maclaren, co-author of who wrote Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture claims the attendance will help strengthen the Sussex brand’s royal link, something which she says has become “rather jaded currently”.

George Clooney warns ‘history repeating itself’ with Meghan

Despite George Clooney and his wife Amal Clooney being friends with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Hollywood once opened up on Meghan’s treatment – with a warning that “history was repeating”.

Mr Clooney compared Meghan’s treatment of being photographed similar to that of Princess Diana.

Back in February 2019, he opened up about this to an Australian Magazine. Mr Clooney told Who magazine: “I do want to say, they’re just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere.

“She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was.

“And it’s history repeating itself. We’ve seen how that ends.”

Questions that are still unanswered

We still don’t know which member of the Royal Family apparently made the comments about Archie’s race.

Meghan said: “In those months when I was pregnant, all around the same time: we have in tandem he won’t be given security, a title and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born.”

Oprah was left stunned and replied: “What? There is a conversation…hold on. Hold up. Hold up. Stop right now.”

She went on: “About how dark your baby is going to be?” 

Meghan replied: “Potentially, and what that would mean or look like.”

Oprah later confirmed the person who made the comment was not the Queen or Prince Philip.

But Meghan said it would be “too damaging” to reveal the culprit, meaning it’s unlikely we will ever find out the answer.

Bizarre wedding demand

MEGHAN Markle asked Prince Charles if she could meet him “halfway” when he offered to walk her down the aisle, an expert has claimed.

The Prince of Wales is said to have stepped in after it was confirmed Meghan’s dad, Thomas Markle, was unable to make her and Harry’s wedding.

The big day took place in St George’s Chapel, Windsor, in 2018, with just Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland in attendance from the bride’s family.

But Charles is said to have felt for his daughter-in-law and said he would be honoured to escort her to the altar. 

Writing in the Daily Mail, royal biographer Robert Hardman said: “The reply, according to one friend, was not quite what he was expecting: ‘Can we meet halfway?’

“Here was an indicator that this was no blushing bride, but a confident, independent woman determined to make a grand entrance on her own.” 

Could Queen meeting Lilibet in person heal royal rifts?

Royal author Brian Hoey told Express.co.uk that he believes rifts between Her Majesty and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex could be healed when eh meets her 11th great-grandchild in person:

Hoey said: “I have heard from people I know within the Royal Household she [the ] really would desperately like to see the baby in this way.

“I think she would love to, I wonder whether it is going to happen, I would love to think it could.”

When quizzed if a reunion between the  &  and the Queen could help heal their reported rift, Mr Hoey said: “Yes, it would.

“It would be a very easy thing for the rift to be healed between them. It may not be as bad as we on the outside think it is anyway.

“I am absolutely sure the Queen holds no feelings of disapproval towards Harry and Meghan, none whatsoever, she would certainly welcome them back if they came.”
