Kate Middleton’s ‘hardest’ moment with Meghan revealed – live

Jobson wrote that she “established some fundamental life rules that she would stick to when she joined The Firm.

“Her ‘terms’ were in fact presented to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles.

“She was clear from the outset that she would not be pigeon-holed into carrying out particular duties.

“Her priority, she emphasised, would always be her family.”

This claim comes in the wake of the Duke of Wesminster’s wedding, which Harry, in reported consultation with his friend, agreed not to attend because of Prince William.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl said: “I think if you look back to that recent society wedding of the Duke of Westminster, it was William who got the invite to that, and Harry was invited because they’ve been friends forever and a day, but he was basically asked to stand down from that wedding because it would have been very awkward to have had the two brothers at a society wedding like that, together.”

Nicholl added to InStyle: “I think the ties have been severed. I think there is a sense that, possibly, friends, close friends, society friends, celebrity friends have sort of had to make a little bit of a choice.”

Nottingham Cottage, one of the smallest properties on the grounds of Kensington Palace, has two bedrooms and one bathroom and was Harry’s so-called bachelor pad.

He wrote in Spare: “I was excited to welcome Meg to my home, but also embarrassed. Nott Cott was no palace.”

The couple later moved to Frogmore Cottage, which has five bedrooms. The property remains empty after the couple permanently vacated it last summer.

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield told the Mirror: “Prince Harry is set to receive more money than Prince William because he is the spare.

“The Queen Mother knew he would have fewer opportunities and responsibilities. It was a logical and thoughtful decision.”

“There will be no tensions as [the family] knew about this arrangement for decades. Prince William likely quietly inherited his share two summers ago when he turned 40.”

The Queen Mother had an estimated fortune of £70 million. It has been speculated that Prince Harry will inherit £6.6 million when he turns 40 in September.

“Meghan has made no secret of how much she misses her carefree life when she was an actress,” the source told New magazine.

“And while she’d never change what she has with Harry and the kids, there is a big part of her that wishes she could just get her old life back.

“She loved being in Suits and all the opportunities it gave her, she’d get invited to all the exclusive events and get to hang out with Hollywood A-listers.

“There was also so much less scrutiny and attention, and there was no pressure on her.”

Rumours that the Duchess of Sussex could return to acting have been rife since she stepped down as a working royal in 2020.

The late Queen Mother would be “profoundly disappointed” in Prince Harry and “to see history repeating itself” through his relationship with Meghan Markle.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! magazine: “I’m afraid the Queen Mother would have been mightily disappointed to see history repeating itself as Harry fell in love with a divorced American woman and then left royal life and went to live abroad… almost in exile, like her brother-in-law King Edward VIII, who abdicated for the love of Wallis Simpson.

“I think she would have been angry with Meghan for some of the things that she has said, and profoundly disappointed that Harry has publicly attacked his own family.”

The Queen Mother passed away in 2002 at the age of 101. She became queen when her brother-in-law unexpectedly stepped down as a working royal and abdicated.

Royal biographer Rob Jobson told People: “Before, she used to live her life by the calendar, and now she is living her life, and the calendar comes in after.

“She will be back, but when you have had an experience like this, it changes your perspective and the order of things.”

In a statement released in June, the princess stressed that she was not “out of the woods” yet with her treatment for an undisclosed form of the disease.

The monarch wrote in a statement: “My wife and I have been profoundly shocked to hear of the utterly horrific incident in Southport.

“We send our most heartfelt condolences, prayers and deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones of those who have so tragically lost their lives, and to all those affected by this truly appalling attack.”

Three children have been confirmed dead as a result of the attack. A 17-year-old male remains in custody.

A birthday fundraiser for the “rejected and abandoned” Thomas Markle has raised over £45,000.

Set up by royal author and socialite Lady Colin Campbell, the GoFundMe was inspired by the Duchess of Sussex’s father’s birthday wish to reconnect with his daughter and meet his grandchildren, which was not granted.

The GoFundMe for Mr Markle, who recently turned 80, states that his “kindness and generosity are well known in the film community” and the fundraiser is an opportunity to show him “that there are still people in the world with good hearts, good values, and good intentions.”

Meghan Markle fell out with her father around the time of her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry after he took part in a staged paparazzi photoshoot.

Mr Markle has never met Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
