Meghan Markle news latest – Duchess reveals Prince Harry top secret nickname sparking widespread mockery
MANY couples have sweet nicknames for one another, and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are no different.
Last year, Meghan, 40, let her pet name for Harry, 37, slip out during a TV appearance, leading to the royal being mocked mercilessly by one of his celebrity friends.
The moment occurred during Harry’s appearance on the Late Late Show with James Corden, when the pals took a tour bus round LA.
Meghan also featured in the popular episode, with James ringing her on a video call.
When the mum-of-two spotted Harry in the background, she asked: “Haz, how is your tour of LA going?”
Harry jokingly branded Corden “the worst tour guide in LA”.
The Brit TV host then teased the royal over the moniker, saying: “Haz, oh Haz, I didn’t know we were calling you Haz now?”

Meghan’s ‘controlling’ signals on Prince Harry
The Duchess of Sussex is said to give away signs when she is impatient to move on, claims Jesus Enrique Rosas, who runs the YouTube channel Body Language Guy.
He analysed a clip of Meghan and Harry at a public engagement to highlight his point.
Jesus explained: “Meghan and Harry were attending the Wellchild Awards back in 2019, and they were talking to some of the families attending.
“And I think this was the last family they were talking to because they were sitting along a wall, and this was at the far corner, and in fact, it was the end of the video.
“But Harry was still talking to them, in a quite engaging way, and then Meghan just stands up and literally, and silently commands Harry to stop and stand up just using her body language.
“And this is not the only time she’s been caught in camera interrupting Harry out cold.”

Meg & Harry to be ‘part of’ slimmed-down monarchy
A royal commentator has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to have a “part” in Prince Charles’s new plans for a slimmed-down monarchy.
Royal correspondent Christine Ross has since claimed the Prince of Wales would want his son and Meghan to be present at the Buckingham Palace balcony picture, when he becomes King.
Speaking on Us Weekly’s Royally Us, Ms Ross said: “I don’t think it’s going to be about family rifts as much as it’s going to be about the future of the monarchy.

Andrew’s Earl Title under fresh threat
The Queen’s son is known as the Earl of Inverness in Scotland but following outcry from English politicians for the prince to lose his title as the Duke of York, similar demands are being made in Inverness.
An SNP MSP has called for Prince Andrew to be stripped of his Earl of Inverness title. Emma Roddick said her constituents are “baffled” as to why the Duke of York has retained the perk.
Roddick said: “I’d be happier to see royal titles gone for good but, as long as they remain, the holder is linked to the area. I stand with a lot of others in Inverness in believing we should no longer have this forced association with Prince Andrew.”
Prince Andrew has held the title of Earl of Inverness since 1986, following his marriage to Sarah Ferguson.

Country singer says Harry was ‘just lovely’ after Super Bowl meet
The US musician who opened the Super Bowl has said the Duke Of Sussex was “just lovely” after spending time with him at the game.
Grammy-nominated country star Mickey Guyton sang the US national anthem ahead of the showpiece American football clash between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Sharing a picture of the pair on Twitter, she wrote: “I met Prince Harry. He was just lovely.
“I even curtsied in my track suit.”
In the picture Harry is wearing a suit jacket and jeans with a white T-shirt and face mask.
Pictures of him and royal cousin Princess Eugenie watching the game at the SoFi Stadium, in Inglewood, California, circulated online.
As well as Guyton’s performance of The Star Spangled Banner, fans in the 70,000-capacity arena were warmed up by actor Dwayne Johnson, who channelled his former wrestling persona, The Rock.

Harry’s offer to pay for own security is ‘irrelevant’, High Court told
The Duke of Sussex’s offer to pay for his own police protection is “irrelevant”, Home Office lawyers told the High Court in the first hearing of Harry’s claim against the department.
Harry is suing over a decision not to allow him to pay for police protection for himself and his family while in the UK.
The duke wants to bring his children to visit from the US, but his barrister told the High Court on Friday that he “does not feel safe” when visiting under the current security arrangements.
He is arguing that his private protection team in the US does not have adequate jurisdiction abroad or access to UK intelligence information which is needed to keep his family safe.

Meghan considers UK a ‘lost cause’
Meghan Markle couldn’t care less what Brits think of her, because she considers the UK a “lost cause”, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duchess of Sussex has absolutely “no intention” of returning to the UK and she no longer feels welcome here, Tom Bower wrote in The Sun.
The writer, dubbed Britain’s “most feared biographer” is currently working on a tell-all tome about the Duchess and says her rejection of Britain is down to her steadily plunging popularity here.
“At the moment, Meghan’s ultimate destination is unclear, but she certainly has the backing to make a bid to star as an American politician,” Bower said.
“In parallel, Britain is a lost cause for the Sussexes. In truth, I suspect Meghan no longer cares whether she is welcome in London.
“She has no intention of returning.”

Eugenie ‘would not have gone’ to US without Queen’s approval
Princess Eugenie recently visited the US and met up with her cousin Prince Harry at the Super Bowl.
It was the first time that another royal had visited Prince Harry since he moved to the US and Royal expert Brian Hoey believes she would have had the approval of senior royal members.
Royal author Brian Hoey told the Express: “I think it’s probably very likely she would not have gone to America to meet Harry without the approval of other members of the Royal Family.
“Certainly not without Prince William, Charles and the Queen knowing and approving it.
“She would not have gone had she thought she was going to upset them at all.”

Meghan’s royal doppelganger
Prince Harry was spotted at the recent Super Bowl with Princess Eugenie – but Meghan was nowhere to be seen.
The Prince sat with his royal cousin in a private box at LA’s SoFi Stadium on Sunday night as the Cincinnati Bengals took on the LA Rams, losing 20-23.
Some social media users initially mistook Eugenie, 31, for Meghan, who lives nearby to the Los Angeles stadium with Harry and their two children, Archie, two, and baby Lilibet.

Sussexes warned Netflix will consider ‘pulling plug’ on deal
The news comes as Barry Chase, a US television and film lawyer, claimed that Netflix is looking for content that will “cause a stir”.
However, he made claims that the Sussexes want to produce content that “speaks to their particular desire to make a point.”
In an interview with the Express he said: “(Netflix) will at some point pull the plug if Harry and Meghan are unable to produce anything that they regard as acceptably likely to cause a stir all on its own with the public.”

Why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could still play a major role
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry will be heavily involved in Prince Charles’ coronation, despite quitting their active roles in royal life.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit their roles within the Royal Family with the Queen’s permission in order to live as private citizens.
Many Brits would assume that making such a decision would rule them out of playing any significant role in the crowning of the next monarch.
But in reality the pair are still incredibly consequential as the son and daughter in law of a the new king and will therefore be encouraged to take part as much as they like, and certainly be involved in wider photos.
Royal commentator Christine Ross told the Royally Us podcast “Because of that historical moment where you have Charles, William and George, we’ll probably see them front and centre and their families front and centre.”
“[But] I do imagine that Charles will want a larger family group shot of the existing Royal Family… “I do think that Harry would be a part of that and Meghan may be as well if she wanted to be,” she added.

Meghan one of many that no longer need to take the stand
Prince Andrew’s settlement now means that key royals will no longer need to take the stand including Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice and Meghan Markle.
Beatrice could have had to testify about a trip to Pizza Express in Woking.
Andrew said the trip happened the same night a witness saw him dancing with Ms Giuffre at Tramp nightclub in London – hours before the royal allegedly had sex with the teen.
Eugenie could also have faced a subpoena from US lawyer David Boies in a bid to cast doubt on the Pizza Express alibi.
The third royal who could have faced the witness box was Meghan Markle.
Mr Boies reportedly believed the Duchess of Sussex has “important knowledge” and can be relied on to “tell the truth” about the royal’s behaviour.

“Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth”
A legal representative for the duke said: “Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life.
“He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats.
“While his role within the institution has changed, his profile as a member of the royal family has not. Nor has the threat to him and his family.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex personally fund a private security team for their family, yet that security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed whilst in the UK.
“In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home.”

“The claimant does not feel safe when he is in the UK”
The Home Office team had two barristers and six lawyers in court.
Harry is arguing his private protection team in the US does not have adequate jurisdiction abroad or access to UK intelligence information which is needed to keep his family safe.
The Duke’s case is being heard by Mr Justice Swift in London’s High Court – but Harry is not attending in person.
Shaheed Fatima QC, for Harry, said: “This claim is about the fact that the claimant does not feel safe when he is in the UK given the security arrangements applied to him in June 2021 and will continue to be applied to him.”
She continued: “It goes without saying that he does want to come back to see family and friends and to continue to support the charities that are so close to his heart.
“Most of all, this is and always will be, his home.”

Prince Harry faces paying hefty bill if he loses High Court battle
PRINCE Harry faces coughing up a hefty bill if he loses his High Court battle for security to cover the hit to the public purse.
The Duke of Sussex, 37, launched legal action against the Government over the decision to take away his police bodyguards after he stepped back from royal duties two years ago.
Harry, who quit his royal duties and gave up the privileges that come with the job to live in California with Meghan Markle two years ago, said he feels “unsafe” in the UK.
He wants to fund his own Met Police armed bodyguards – but the Home Office refused and insiders are saying police are not “guns for hire”.
It is believed to be the first time a member of the Royal Family has sued Her Majesty’s government.
And if Harry loses high High Court battle, he faces a sizeable bill to cover the taxpayer funds that the Home Office has used to fight the case.
In written submissions, Robert Palmer QC, for the Home Office, said the government department would “seek the costs incurred as a result of this claim in full, including those of the confidentiality exercise, which has resulted in costs being incurred to the public purse considerably in excess of those more typically awarded”.

Memoir could reveal Harry’s opinions
It’s understood the Duke of Sussex accepted a £14.5million advance for the book. He will reportedly donate the profits to charity.
Announcing the deal, the royal vowed to write a “wholly truthful” account, “not as the prince I was born, but as the man I have become”.
But he’s faced criticism for his decision to release the memoir during his grandmother’s Platinum Jubilee year.
And now a slew of experts say he could well be reserving his opinions on Camilla for the tome.
Sarah Robertson told GB News earlier this week: “He’s got a £20m book deal, so he’s obviously got to deliver something that’s going to make people want to go out and buy it.
“This book was signed on the premise that he does talk about personal memoirs, family arrangements, things that have affected him in his life growing up, things he’s been witness to.
“He’s saving these opinions for that book.”

City of York moves to cut ties with Prince Andrew
THE city of York took its first steps yesterday to remove all ties with Prince Andrew after he settled his sex assault claim with Virginia Giuffre.
Councillors said they will submit a motion next month calling for the revocation of his freedom of the city.
It was granted in 1987 and recognises notable service.
Other recipients have included the Duke of Wellington, Sir Winston Churchill and Dame Judi Dench.
The Lib Dem-led city council is also calling for him to give up his Duke of York title.
Cllr Darryl Smalley, who called the allegations Andrew, 61, faced “incredibly serious”, said: “We’re determined to explore all options to sever his links to our city.”

Scandal allegations raise questions about Monarchy’s ‘right to reign’
The Royal Family’s “right to reign” has been questioned in the wake of the Duke of York’s civil sex assault case and the alleged cash-for-honours scandal that has engulfed the Prince of Wales’ foundation.
Charles has made his first public appearance since a Metropolitan Police investigation was launched into the allegation, which has prompted commentators to call for the future king to be questioned by detectives.
The prince hosted a Queen’s Anniversary Prizes for higher and further education awards ceremony with the Princess Royal at St James’ Palace, and appeared relaxed following a turbulent few days for the monarchy.
The Duke of York is being urged to explain how he will pay for his legal settlement with accuser Virginia Giuffre, rumoured to be up to £12 million, as he faces the prospect of never returning to full royal duties.
Charles and his former favoured confidant, Michael Fawcett, were formally reported to the Met Police last September when allegations of cash-for-honours first surfaced in newspaper reports.
Mr Fawcett, who has since resigned as chief executive of The Prince’s Foundation, has been accused of promising to help a Saudi billionaire donor receive British citizenship and a knighthood.
