Alexander Larman told GB News Harry and Meghan’s current situation is not sustainable (Image: GB News) Royal historian Alexander Larman has insisted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s current situation isn’t sustainable in a blow to the Sussexes. He made the remarks as the couple embark on three charity visits in Nottingham on Thursday which marks their first joint public appearance together since their UK return. Appearing on GB News Breakfast hosted by Ellie Costello and Stephen Dixon he was debating if the Duke and Duchess return to public life was simply cynical. The historian claimed their joint public appearance could be likened to a royal event. “Because ultimately, what we are seeing is that they are in a very weird, very anomalous position where they are behaving as if they’re members of the Royal Family,” he said. “They are behaving as if they expect the adulation and the attention that they get when they’re in the Royal Family, but they left a long time ago, and it’s strange because they’re not half in, half out. …

A source told People: “She does miss home – and her mum. “They’re planning to come back for the holidays.

The 78-year-old acting legend recently revealed that late filmmaker Rob Reiner initially hesitated to cast Crystal, his close friend, as Harry Burns opposite Meg Ryan’s Sally Albright in the beloved 1989 romantic comedy. “I was not Rob’s first choice for Harry,” Crystal admitted in an interview with People published Wednesday. “I said, if he wants me, then he wants me, but I know he’s seeing other people.” He continued, “Then the call came: ‘I always knew it was you.’ He said, ‘Please read it.’ I said, ‘Someone snuck it to me. Guess what? I don’t like it.’ We laughed and laughed. He said, ‘We’ll start tomorrow.’” When asked who Reiner had first chose for the part, Crystal recalled Albert Brooks, Tom Hanks and Michael Keaton being considered. However, he added with …

Who Will Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Spend Christmas With?

Who Will Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Spend Christmas With?

Published by Sam Flores

In the best-case scenario, one might have imagined a royal family reunion, with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the rest of the royal family coming together for the holidays. But that scenario seems highly unlikely. A month and a half after settling in the United Kingdom, the Sussexes reportedly still haven’t seen either King Charles III or Prince William. So, a family Christmas? Complicated. Harry and Meghan are more likely to head to the United States to reunite with Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mother. They might also celebrate Thanksgiving with her. It remains to be seen where the family members will gather. A Christmas at Sandringham would be “too awkward and too difficult,” according to a source quoted by the Sunday Times. “They also know they’re not going to be invited, and they’re not waiting for an invitation,” the source adds. The last Christmas Harry and Meghan spent with the royal family was in 2018, when the duchess was expecting their first child, Archie. She was photographed alongside her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, as they made their …

Do you understand what he means now? Yeah, I understand now. The Man I Love is, for all intents and purposes, an AIDS film. But I love that it’s not necessarily a typical AIDS narrative, where it’s super depressing because someone is dying or super infuriating because it’s overly focused on the prejudice positive people have to face. Jimmy is dying in this film, but the movie seems much more interested in exploring the ways in which he’s amassed this crowd of friends and family who all love and support him and want to help him create one final beautiful thing before he goes. Definitely. Ira was very clear that this is a film about life rather than death. He wanted it to be full of life and joy and the pursuit of pleasure, and not, as you said, what we’re used to in terms of the depiction of this. Ira was really encouraging of me to understand the context of that time. But for Vincent, I think he’s kind of trying to disregard [the …

According to sources, more joint engagements are being planned for later this year, but the visit to India will serve as both an indication that Kate is in good health following her recent cancer scare and a reminder of the important diplomatic role the Prince and Princess of Wales play on the world stage. “The palace and Foreign Office are planning various official engagements while the couple are in [India], highlighting the prince and princess’s soft-power roles. The British government will see this as a chance to secure some form of diplomacy, and they will be doing other engagements outside of Earthshot,” says Myers, author of William & Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story. The pair’s return to joint engagements coincides with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return to the UK, fueling speculation that William and Kate are keen to underline the importance of their public work and promote their causes. “It’s no coincidence that William and Catherine are doing more together. They want their roles to be very clearly separate from what Harry and Meghan …

It’s a big week for Meghan Markle. On Thursday she will step out for her first joint public engagement with Prince Harry since returning to the UK. And ahead of their outing, the Duchess had good reason to celebrate on Sunday. A sweatshirt that she designed for charity sold out within a matter of hours, helping to raise funds for an important cause. Meghan, 45, took to Instagram on Sunday to promote the jumper posing for a photograph while wearing the cosy top, which is in a neutral tone and has the words ‘It’s the Little Things’ embroidered in chocolate brown across the back and at the sleeve. The $100 (£75) sweatshirt was designed for Moms Offering More, a charity founded by Kasondra Herrendorf-Cohen.  Meghan wrote: “We share one intention as parents: a safe and loving future for our children. “We can all appreciate that ‘the little things’ ladder up to big outcomes, especially when it comes to the future of our children, and we are proud to work together on this initiative as we …

Prince Harry will reportedly take part in an upcoming BBC documentary exploring race relations in the UK alongside Stephen Lawrence’s mother. The Duke, 42, is understood to have contributed to the planned documentary in collaboration with Baroness Doreen Lawrence of Clarendon, with whom he stood trial this year in a failed lawsuit case against Associated Newspapers. The 73-year-old became a public figure for campaigning after her son Stephen was killed in a racially motivated knife attack in 1993. While the extent of the Duke’s contribution to the documentary is unclear, sources have confirmed his collaboration both with the Baroness and the BBC, reports The Telegraph. The upcoming project comes months after the pair were ordered to pay a hefty legal bill to the Daily Mail publisher after losing their lawsuit. Prince Harry and six other public figures faced paying up to £34.5million to the publisher after a High Court judge imposed an exceptional order for legal costs over their failed case. They had insurance to cover up to £16.2million in the event of a loss. …
