Meghan Markle branded ‘delusional’ as ‘homesick’ Harry eyes UK home – Royal family news

The actor, 69, told PEOPLE that once upon a time he had been in talks to star in a sequel to The Bodyguard with the late Princess.

“I ultimately had a very sweet conversation about 15 years later with Prince William,” Costner said. “He walked up, and we sat down, and shook hands, and the first line out of his mouth was, he says, ‘You know, my mum kinda fancied you.’”

An inquiry has found that child abuse was “normalised for decades” at King Charles’s former school in Elgin, Scotland.

The findings about Gordonstoun and its junior school, Aberlour, were published by the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry.

They claimed that pupils at the institutions were “exposed to risks of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse” for years.

The inquiry chairwoman Lady Smith said: “I have no difficulty in finding that children were abused at Gordonstoun and Aberlour in a variety of ways over a long period of time.

“It was assumed the declaration of good intentions by founder Kurt Hahn was enough to ensure the school could be entrusted to provide appropriate residential care.

“At Gordonstoun, the assumption proved to be ill-founded, largely due to poor leadership.

“It was only after 1990 and the appointment of a headmaster who understood the importance of pastoral care that abuse eventually began to be addressed and a measure of trust was restored.”

Gordonstoun, of which the King is now a patron, has apologised to anyone affected by the abuse.

Following claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reached out to the Princess of Wales, a royal expert has claimed that they need to stop cashing in on their royal links to achieve a reconciliation.

The claim comes following Prince Harry’s explosive 2023 memoir Spare and the couple’s Netflix series Harry & Meghan, both of which detailed their lives in the family.

“Members from the Royal Family have told Harry, if he wants a relationship with the rest of the family, then first and foremost, he has got to stop talking about them,” the royal correspondent Russell Myers told Sky News Australia.

“They can’t go about making money off their associations with the royal family. They’re going to [have to] sort of realize, if they’re going to have a relationship with the rest of the Royal Family, they can’t go about trashing them.”

He added: “Hopefully, they’ll see that the royal family are very united without them, and if they do want a relationship, going forward, they need to take the steam out of their relationship and out of the things they say sometimes.”

They spoke out after commentators noticed that Prince Harry’s close friend, Nacho Figueras, shared pictures of her latest American Riviera Orchard products on Instagram the same day Kate announced her return.

This included a picture of a limited edition raspberry jam, which appeared to be one of only two made.

The insiders told The Daily Beast: “Meghan did not order up the post from Figueras, and in fact had no input over when or if he would post.

“Of course, ceding exact control over context and timings is an inherent risk in a user-led social media campaign, especially when your cheerleaders are powerful celebrities in their own right who might not react well to having their posts micromanaged.”

A royal expert has claimed that King Charles believes Prince Harry’s memoir’s portrayal of Queen Camilla was “unforgivable”.

This comes after the Monarch failed to meet his youngest son on his recent trip to the UK, meaning that they have not seen each other since he announced his cancer diagnosis in February.

Christopher Andersen, a royal author, told Fox News Digital: “I think people have to realize that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla.

“There’s no criticism of Camilla. And unfortunately for Harry… Harry said some pretty devastating things about her [in Spare]. He made it clear that he felt she was… the villain in the piece.

“I think that still bothers the king, and I don’t know that it will be easy for him to [forgive]. I don’t think they’ll ever forgive Harry for that.”

A royal insider has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are hoping that Kate Middleton’s return will “take the heat off them”.

This comes amid reports that their relationship with their family has grown increasingly frosty.

The insider claims that the pair tried to reach out to the Princess of Wales amid her ongoing battle with cancer.

“They’ve jointly reached out to send well wishes, but they’re still not really in a place with Kate to warrant much of a response,” the insider told Closer magazine.

“When Kate gets back into action, their hope is that it might take some of the heat off them and possibly trigger a truce with her and William, and with the King, too.”

Meghan Markle allegedly “ordered” Prince Harry to confront David Beckham after concluding that information about her had been leaked to the press.

The revelation was made by Tom Bower in his explosive new biography of the Beckhams, House of Beckham, where he also claimed that Meghan “put on airs” around Victoria.

“Only after The Sun reported how Victoria had given Meghan make-up advice did the relationship between the two ambitious women crash,” Bower explained.

“Sensitive to the media’s probing into her unusual past, Meghan was outraged by The Sun’s report. This was the latest of a series of nasty revelations by London’s newspapers.

“Harry was ordered to complain to David Beckham.”

Victoria proceeded to deny that any information had been leaked by her and blamed a beautician, but the biographer claims “the culprit was probably a boastful publicist”.

She was pictured smiling as she held a programme about the event she and King Charles have several horses running in.

The Queen was accompanied by the Monarch yesterday, with their arrival heralding the start of the five days of races.

Prince William and Queen Camilla put on a united display by arriving at the second day of Royal Ascot together in a carriage.

Neither of them were joined by their respective partners, King Charles and the Princess of Wales, as they battle undisclosed forms of cancer.

These include Prince Willliam and Kate Middleton’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, who are enjoying their first public appearance since Kate’s cancer diagnosis was announced.

The Queen and King Charles have several horses running in the event.

Neither the Princess of Wales or King Charles, who are both still battling cancer, are present at today’s event.
