Royal Family: Meghan Markle threatens new bombshell as she's about to be exposed

A sweet gesture by Prince Harry, just hours before his wedding to Meghan Markle, has given us a glimpse into their personal relationship prior to their official marriage.

The Royal couple's wedding on May 19, 2018, at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle was nothing short of a fairytale, watched by millions across the globe.

Prince Harry was keen to ensure that Meghan had the best day possible and demonstrated this through a touching act on the morning of their nuptials.

Meghan's bridal bouquet, designed by self-taught florist Philippa Craddock, included Forget-Me-Nots - Princess Diana's favourite flower - as a heartfelt tribute to Harry's late mother.

Meghan Markle found it tough to accept a "second fiddle" role within the Royal Family, but an expert reckons she missed out on playing a pivotal part by stepping back from her Royal duties.

Talk TV's Royal correspondent Sarah Hewson spilled to the Sun that had the Sussexes not stepped down, they'd be "front and centre" in the current Royal scene.

Prince Harry and Meghan, having renounced their senior Royal roles in 2020, have set up shop in Montecito, California, where they've been living for four years with their kids, five year old Archie and three year old Lilibet.

Post-Royal exit, the duo's star has somewhat dimmed. Yet, Hewson opines that the pair could've been major players during these testing times for the Royals.

Prince Philip has been shockingly mentioned in classified FBI documents relating to the Profumo affair of the early 1960s.

The late Duke of Edinburgh's involvement in one of the most infamous scandals of the 20th century has been a topic of conjecture until now.

As per a report by the Mail on Sunday, documents indicate that the FBI had been informed that Prince Philip was personally 'involved' with Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies, the two women at the heart of the sex scandal that toppled the British government.

Files from the US Department of Justice reveal that a memo was penned by J Edgar Hoover, then director of the FBI, about the scandal, emphasising that Prince Philip was implicated.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are keeping schtum on their political views this time around, despite a study suggesting they could influence a whopping 40 percent of American voters.

Back in the 2020 election frenzy, the Sussexes didn't shy away from encouraging people to vote, though they stopped short of endorsing anyone.

Meghan hasn't held back in the past about her need for "change we all need and deserve" and even took a swipe at Trump before she joined the Royal fold. The former President has lobbed his share of zingers at the couple too.

Now, a Newsweek poll by Redfield & Wilton has got the scoop on what 1,500 Yanks would make of a Royal nod of approval.

The documentary focusing on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's life has hit a snag, as producers pause to scrutinise Meghan's history for accuracy.

A German docu-drama promising to unveil hidden aspects of Meghan Markle's background is unexpectedly on ice, insiders at Express.co.uk have disclosed.

It appears the much-anticipated tell-all about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, scheduled for broadcast on Germany's ZDF network, has encountered a slight delay.

The production team is taking extra time for research to confirm the authenticity of details and to ensure all legal bases are covered.

"The team wants to make sure that everything used on Meghan Markle is correct," an insider revealed.

A close friend Meghan Markle knew way before she met Prince Harry could have played a key part in influencing the duchess to launch her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, it has been reported.

The Duchess of Sussex soft-launched her new business venture back in March by launching an Instagram page and website.

But while she's teasing the public with the promotions of three of the many products to be sold under ARO's name, an official estimate on its hard launch is yet to be confirmed.

Meghan sent various influencers and friends jars of strawberry and raspberry jam, and dog biscuits, while the latest rumours suggest she is keen on releasing her own rose wine too.

Prince George almost had a very different name that his mum, the Princess of Wales had "her heart set on".

The young royal, who will celebrate his 11th birthday tomorrow, was born on July 22, 2013, and is the eldest of the Prince and Princess of Wales's three children.

Royal Family fans were delighted to hear the couple, who had married two years prior to his birth, had welcomed a son and waited excitedly to hear what they had called their new bundle of joy.

His name - George Alexander Louis - was announced shortly after his birth and was chosen in honour of his great-great-grandfather, King George VI.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were once praised for their ability to be "influential" by their former chief of staff, Catherine St-Laurent.

Ms St-Laurent worked for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as Chief of Staff from April 2020 until March 2021 while she also served as Executive Director of their Archewell Foundation during the same period.

When she stepped down, the communications advisor spoke to the Cut and reflected on her time working with the Montecito couple.

She said: "It was an incredible experience. They are incredibly talented and creative leaders. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to do that, to be able to be with them on their journey.

"The time that I spent with them was incredibly fulfilling."

Prince William and Prince Harry may not be on "speaking terms" right now following their ongoing feud but when they were younger, they were much united over their favourite food which they would have "every time they came home" to Kensington Palace, according to their former chef.

The food in question - British classic cottage pie - would always be prepared at home when the two young princes would return, according to Darren McGrady.

Chef McGrady served as a royal chef for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Princess Diana, Prince William, and Prince Harry for 15 years.

EXCLUSIVE: Princess Eugenie showed off her cheeky sense of humour while chatting with British artist Jake Grewal for an "artists in conversation" for the Yale Centre for British Art.

When describing his delicate strokes, Jake told Princess Eugenie, 34, that he draws with his eyes almost closed, in a trance-like state, "where we could just kind of, like, whip out, like a nude without even looking at the figure, you know?"

While in fits of giggles, Princess Eugenie saucily replied: "I love that. Whip it out."

Jake responded: "Yeah, like literally."

The rather rare royal fit of giggles occurred as Princess Eugenie continued her quest to champion British art across the pond.

EXCLUSIVE: A German documentary set to expose secrets from Meghan Markle’s past has mysteriously been put on hold, Express.co.uk has learned.

According to a source, the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle exposé which was set to air on the ZDF network in Germany has suffered a minor setback to allow for more research time and to ensure that everything is legally sound with the project.

“The team wants to make sure that everything used on Meghan Markle is correct,” said the source.

“Every detail will be checked and double-checked to make sure that it is legally sound and factually correct.

“There will be ‘eyes’ on the project, so the team wants to make sure that they have dotted the i's and crossed the t's as it were.”

King Charles reportedly gave his younger son, Prince Harry, a crushing four-word reply when he offered him an olive branch during his latest visit to the UK, it has been claimed.

The Duke of Sussex returned to his home country for a second time this year in May, where he attended a special service at St. Paul's Cathedral to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games.

Harry previously dashed back to Britain in February after the monarch announced his shock cancer diagnosis, with the pair meeting briefly at Clarence House.

But during his latest trip, he failed to meet with any members of his family and according to a source, his request to meet with his father was met with a cutting four-word response.

Queen Camilla was always suspicious of Meghan Markle's motives when she first joined the Royal Family, a royal expert has claimed.

The Queen had reportedly tried to help the Duchess of Sussex in the early years of her royal life when she was going through a "difficult time" with her father, Thomas Markle.

"Camilla went out of her way to assist Meghan when she was experiencing difficulties with her own father. Charles is said to have also offered Meghan help."

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh was left "quite surprised" when Meghan Markle "snubbed" her despite her offer of friendship, according to a source.

As a fellow outsider who married into the Royal Family in 1999, Sophie felt that she could show Meghan the ropes and offer her some advice.

An insider told The Sun about a meeting between the two women, which at first seemed to go well: "It was just the two of them and they talked for hours.

Meghan Markle is said to be plotting to launch her next explosive bombshell on the Royal Family by using an "ultimate weapon", according to a royal author.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been estranged from the Royal Family ever since their departure from the Firm and moved to the US in 2020.

Harry and Meghan have made a string of claims about life within the Firm through a series of interviews, their eponymous Netflix show and the duke's memoir, Spare.

Now royal author Tom Bower said that following Harry's book, Meghan is still penning her own memoir as she waits to "drop another bomb" on the royals because she "wants a sensational headline."

King Charles is well known around the world for being the Sovereign of the British throne, however, there is another, lesser-known Charles in the Royal Family with quite a title and he is bound to get another one in the future.

Charles Armstrong-Jones, the King's first cousin once removed, is one of the late Princess Margaret's grandchildren.

He is the eldest child of Princess Margaret's only son with Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon, David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon and Serena Stanhope.

Prince George is set to turn 11 on Monday, meaning that the Prince and Princess of Wales are likely gearing up to make their son's day extra special.

Although Princess Kate has previously let slip some traditions the couple have in their household, one tradition was introduced by William's late mother, Princess Diana when he was young.

In terms of gifts, Julia Samuel - one of Prince George's godparents - said that she previously liked to present the young royal with "impossible toys that are really noisy and take a lot of making" - something that Prince William struggles with.

EXCLUSIVE: The Prince and Princess of Wales are set to release a new picture to mark Prince George's 11th birthday on Monday.

Despite the earlier photo editing row, Princess Kate and Prince William chose to continue their much-loved tradition of sharing new pictures of their three children to mark their birthdays each year.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that he believes royal fans can expect to see a new picture of their eldest son - just like they did of Louis and Charlotte.

Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, were snapped together watching the exhilarating Euro 2024 Final match between England and Spain.

In the image, shared by the Princess of Wales, the pair were side-by-side with eyes locked on the television screen as the England team battled to bring it home.

Communication and body language expert Judi James has analysed the photo and believes the new picture reveals how Prince Louis feels about his older sister.

Meghan Markle struggled with the idea of playing “second fiddle” to the rest of the Royal Family, she could have played a crucial role had she not stepped down from Royal duties, one expert has claimed.

Sarah Hewson, Royal correspondent of Talk TV, told the Sun that if the Sussexes had remained as working Royals, they would have been “front and centre” today.

“We're told Meghan didn't like playing second fiddle well, they wouldn't have been playing second fiddle right now would they?

“They would have been front and centre and they could have played such a key role and I think it's really, really sad to see just how things have changed," she added.
