Ever since Megxit, the relationship between certain members of the royal family has been nothing but strained. Prince Harry, who has made the tough decision to leave Britain behind and settle down in America with his family, has openly spoken of his life as a royal, even telling Oprah that his father, King Charles III, had ‘cut him off’ amid the rift.

The Sussexes found themselves in Britain again as they made a decision to stop off there on their way to The Hague for the Invictus Games weeks before the death of the Queen.

If reports are to be trusted, Prince Harry extended olive branches to his father and his brother in an attempt to rebuild some of the bridges that got burned down since he and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties.

Not only they stopped being working royals who moved to another country, but they made sure the world learned of what was going on behind closed doors.

Considering the royals to be far from ordinary, it didn’t some as a surprise that the infamous all-tell interview Harry and Meghan had with Oprah caused a stir. Millions of people were eagerly waiting to learn the reasons behind the royal rift and the Sussexes did provide a lot of information which left the royal family infuriated.

Now that Queen Elizabeth passed away, many experts claim that the royals would do all in their power to smooth things down between them.

It was reported that Meghan asked for one-on-one meeting with the King, but he allegedly hasn’t responded yet.

Harry, just like his wife, “went in with hugs and the best of intentions and said he wanted to clear the air,” weeks before the Queen’s passing, according to an excerpt of royal expert Katie Nicholl’s book, The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown

“He actually suggested that they use a mediator to try and sort things out, which had Charles somewhat bemused and Camilla spluttering into her tea.

“She told Harry it was ridiculous and that they were a family and would sort it out between themselves,” Nicholl writes.

Harry’s suggestion came when King Charles organized a meeting with him and Meghan before they were about to see the Queen during their visit of Britain.

An insider claimed that Charles, who held the title Prince of Wales at the time, didn’t want his mother to fall for Harry’s sweet-talk, as it was the case with her son Andrew. Charles wanted to make sure the Queen wouldn’t agree to anything without his say-so.

Apparently, the Sussexes were late, and Charles only had 15 minutes with them before he headed to Windsor Castle for the Royal Maundy Service.

Royal author Robert Jobson wrote in The Sun that “Harry will no doubt be torn between wanting acceptance from his family and also the love of his wife. But he has now left himself in a Catch-22 situation.

“He has signed a four-book deal worth millions with Penguin Random House. He needs the money to fund his flash Californian lifestyle.

“Once that book, which is now written, hits bookshelves there will be no going back for Harry.”

We are yet to see what the future holds for Harry and Meghan.

A verse of the Bible says, “Love thy neighbor as thyself,” but the truth is that this isn’t always an easy task. Some neighbors are simply meant not to be loved, because no matter how much we try to build a normal relationship with them for the sake of living nearby, they are unfriendly and unwilling to be nice.

The following photos are the perfect proof that not every neighbor is a good one.

Meghan Markle allegedly requests meeting with King Charles ‘one-to-one’ before she leaves

The day Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest after 70 years of reigning was the day the entire world stood still. People from all over the country gathered together to pay their respects to the monarch who led the country during troublesome times and significant social changes.

In the meantime, the royal family itself is entering into a new era as Charles becomes King of the United Kingdom and the 14 Commonwealth realms. Prince William, who is next after Charles in the line of succession, and his wife Kate Middleton have officially been given new titles. They will now be referred to as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

In his speech as a King, Charles said, “With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given.”

Having in mind that the relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals has been a troublesome one during the past couple of years, a number of royal experts are convinced that the Queen’s passing will lead to reconciliation.

As Harry and Meghan were spotted together with the newly appointed Prince and Princess of Wales, experts claim Meghan is taking matters into her own hands when it comes to repairing some of the bridges burned with regards to the members of The Firm.

According to NBC and MSNBC’s royal reporter Neil Sean, a ‘reliable’ source informed him that Meghan is trying to get a one-on-one meeting with her father-in-law before leaving Britain. Allegedly, she asked to see him in person via a letter, an act Sean describes as ‘brave.’

“Allegedly, she’d now like, before their return back to California, to have a one-to-one audience with King Charles III,” the expert said.

“According to that good source, this [request] was made in a formal letter; this is how you write to the King, through his equerry and then of course that’s passed on etc.

“Basically according to this letter, she feels it would be an opportunity to clear the air, sort the rights from wrongs and explain some of the rationale behind what they’ve been doing over the last two years,” he added.

Admitting that “you have to admire Meghan’s self-belief, whatever you think,” Sean highlighted the fact that the relationship between Meghan and King Charles has been strained ever since she and Harry stepped down from their royal duties and left everyone in the royal family infuriated.

“Truthfully, we have no idea if this is going to go forward,” Sean concluded in the video.

Do you believe the Sussexes are trying to return to the royal fold in some manner?

Harry and Meghan upset while waiting for King Charles to respond if their kids are getting royal titles

Queen Elizabeth’s passing triggered changes within the royal family as a new order of succession has been revised when Charles took the throne.

William and Kate were given new titles, Prince and Princess of Wales, titles previously held by King Charles and late Princess Diana.

However, as the Royal Family’s line of succession was altered, it is still uncertain whether Harry and Meghan’s children will be given HRH titles, something they are entitled to based on a rule established by King George V after he issued a Letters Patent in 1917 which read, “…the grandchildren of the sons of any such sovereign in the direct male line (save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of dukes of these our realms.”

While the Royal Family’s website was updated to reflect the changes affecting the titles of William and Kate, the children of the Sussexes have still been referred to as “Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor” and “Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.”

According to The Sun, however, we should wait and see whether Archie and Lilibet get HRH titles. Apparently, new arrangements are expected to be made in the days to come.

In the past, Harry and Meghan accused the family of stripping their son of his royal titles, although many claimed that with the Queen still being the head of the country, he wasn’t entitled to one. That, however, changed with Queen Elizabeth’s passing.

Speaking to People, a source said, “Archie will almost certainly become a prince one day. Charles isn’t going to disavow his grandson, so it’s hugely unlikely that he’ll change the rules to stop it happening. The Charles also isn’t going to say that Archie can’t use the title any time soon.”

On the other hand, King Charles was reported to have said in the past that he wanted to make certain changes once he accedes the throne. “Charles has never made any secret of the fact that he wants a slimmed-down Monarchy when he becomes King. He realizes that the public don’t want to pay for a huge Monarchy and, as he said, the balcony at Buckingham Palace would probably collapse,” a source close to the family told The Mail back in June of 2022.

Harry has revealed that his relationship with his father was a turbulent one, but now that he became King, Charles reached out to his younger son.

An emotional message from Prince Harry on the passing of his beloved grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II

Prince Harry shared a heartfelt tribute to the woman who always had his back and was there for him whenever he needed someone to turn to, his loving grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Her passing brought grief and left millions mourning the loss of a great monarch who led the country through social changes and overcame troubled times.

When the news of Her Majesty’s deteriorated health was shared with the public, Harry happened to be in Britan as he and Meghan were supposed to attend an event. He was reported to have travelled to Scotland right away, but sadly, he didn’t make it on time. He arrived at Balmoral Castle shortly after her passing.

Harry’s relationship with his grandmother was a special one, and he always spoke of her with admiration. Following her passing, he said he appreciated her service, her excellent advice, and her infectious smile.

“In remembering the life of my grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, as well as lamenting the loss of her, we are all brought back to the role she played as a moral compass for a great number of people via her dedication to duty and service,” Prince Harry shared on the Archewell Foundation website.

“She was globally admired and respected. Her unwavering grace and dignity remained true throughout her life and now her everlasting legacy. Let us echo the words she spoke after the passing of her husband, Prince Philip, words which can bring comfort to all of us now: ‘Life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings.'”

He then added that his memories of the Queen range from the time he was just a child to when she first met his wife Meghan Markle and embraced her great-grandchildren.

“Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings — from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren,” he continued. “I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between. You are already sorely missed, not just by us, but by the world over. And as it comes to first meetings, we now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III.

“Thank you for your commitment to service.”

We are all heartbroken for Queen Elizabeth’s passing. We hope this tragedy would reunite William and Harry and they will be able to rebuild their relationship.

For the first time after losing her son, Lisa Marie Presley opens up about her feelings

Benjamin Keough, the son of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough, died two years ago. His tragic passing was ruled suicide as the Los Angeles County Dept. of Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office confirmed that an autopsy revealed an intraoral shotgun wound.

Benjamin was the only grandson of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley.

Following the news of his death, a representative of Lisa Marie said in a statement for E!, “She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley [Keough]. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”

Even today, Lisa Marie feels the same pain and she is still grieving the loss of her son who meant the world to her.

Reports were that Benjamin had a “history of depression” and was “known to abuse alcohol and use illicit drugs, cocaine.”

He went to rehab a number of times but was only able to complete a program once.

Many of his close friends claimed that he ‘felt lost’ and struggled to live in his famous grandfather’s shadow.

Lisa Marie opened up about her son and how his loss impacted her life, saying that Benjamin hated the fact people tried to impersonate Elvis.

In celebration of “National Grief Awareness Day,” Lisa Marie said, “In spite of what some people or our culture would have us believe, grief is something that will follow you around for the rest of your life and you will have no choice but to take it with you. It is not possible to ‘move on’ or ‘get over’ something that has happened to you. Period.”

She further added that mourning can be ‘extremely lonely,’ and that not many people stay around and provide support as time passes by.

“Sadly, that is a reality check for the vast majority of people. Call everyone you know who has experienced the loss of a loved one, regardless of how long it has been since the tragedy occurred, and ask about how they are coping with the loss. Go pay them a visit. They will appreciate it more than you could ever imagine, both now and in the future.

“Support groups that have experienced the same type of loss as you can help a lot. I go to them, and I also host them at my house for surviving parents of children who have died.

“While nothing and I mean nothing at all, can take away the agony, finding support can often help you feel a little bit less alone.”

Lisa Marie said she only finds strength to move on because of her girls whom Benjamin loved to the moon and back.

We are so very sorry Lisa Marie Presley has to go through such pain.

Meghan Markle’s tears at the Queen’s funeral “may or may not be true”, TV host says

As Queen Elizabeth was laid to rest at St. George’s Chapel, next to her father and mother, hundreds of thousands of people gathered together to show their respect for the monarch who ruled the country for 70 years.

The late Queen was a much-loved royal who served her people selflessly and guided her family and the United Kingdom through extraordinary social changes. Besides being a ruler, Queen Elizabeth was also a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Among those in attendance of her funeral, were of course, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The two kept a low profile during the service.

Meghan wore a black dress but chose not to put on a veil unlike the rest of the female members of the family, including Kate Middleton and Camilla, who has been named Queen Consort. She paid tribute to the late Queen wearing pearls she received from her as a gift.

Meghan was spotted wiping tears from her face, but not everyone believes her crying was genuine.

Today anchor Karl Stefanovic, who doesn’t hide the fact that he’s not fond of the former Suits star, implied that pictures of Meghan wiping away tears might be misleading.

The Duchess of Sussex was standing next to William and Kate’s two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, while waiting for their car after the state funeral. At one moment, she was spotted glancing at Charlotte and giving her a comforting smile.

As he covered the Queen’s funeral for Today, anchor Stefanovic made fun of Meghan for crying at the funeral.

“There’s been lots of photos around and interpretations of photos and reading into photos [meanings] that may or may not be true,” Stefanovic said.

“‘There’s a couple of Meghan, um, with a tear running down her face – apparently – and also even one of Princess Charlotte that everyone was saying she was crying, and we don’t know if it was true or not.”

Despite the rift between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royals, Meghan has always spoken dearly of her husband’s grandmother.

During the infamous Oprah interview, when allegations were made against The Firm following Harry and Meghan’s decision to step down from their royal duties, Meghan explained that she felt very welcome by Queen Elizabeth from the very first moment they met.

“The Queen, for example, has always been wonderful to me. I mean, we had one of our first joint engagements together,” Meghan said at the time.

“She asked me to join her, and I went on the train. And we had breakfast together that morning and she gave me a beautiful gift and I just really loved being in her company, and I know we were in the car—Yeah, she gave me some beautiful pearl earrings and a matching necklace—and we were in the car going between engagements.”

She then added, “And she has a blanket that sits across her, her knees, for warmth and it was chilly and she was like, Meghan, come on, and put it over my knees as well.”

Having in mind that the Queen always had her grandson’s back, no matter what, we are certain Meghan did feel sorry for her passing.

A mother comes to her 8-year-old daughter’s school to pick her up and doesn’t find her, girl returns home at night with baby in her arms

Raising children requires a lot of love, patience, and trust. It is the parents who need to do all in their power in order to shape their children into respected individuals.

Barbara and Edward Hunt, parents of an 8-year-old girl named Madison, decided to move places and settle down in Sausalito, California. When Madison turned eight, Edward insisted that she go to school all by herself. Although Barbara didn’t like the idea, she though it could help her daughter with her self-confidence.

One day, as Barbara felt nostalgic about driving her girl to and from school, she decided she should pick up Madison once her lessons were over.

She parked her car in front of the school and waited for her girl to get out. However, that didn’t happen. Two of Madison’s friends left the school and Barbara was surprised Madison wasn’t with them, but she assumed she was still inside. However, as over 10 minutes passed, the worried mother decided to enter her daughter’s school and see what was going on.

Once in, she spotted Madison’s teacher, Mrs. Blake, who was inside the classroom grading papers. When she saw Barbara, she told her that she was planning on calling her to see if everything was ok with Madison as she missed lessons and didn’t go to school for over a week.

Barbara couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Madison would get out every morning, claiming she was going to school. So, what could have possibly been going on, she kept asking herself.

The first thing this shocked mother did was call her daughter’s number. Madison had a phone and a tiny diary with information about her in case she gets lost. This time, however, she wasn’t answering her phone.

Barbara called her husband and demanded he arrive to school as soon as he could. He was totally puzzled. If Madison wasn’t going to school, then where was she?

The worried parents looked everywhere, but to no avail. Finally, they decided to head home and call the police. But just as they arrived near their family home, they spotted their daughter.

However, as much as they were happy to see her, they were so confused that they could hardly utter a single word. Madison was carrying a baby in her arms. Where could she possibly find a baby when she was still just a child herself?

Barbara and Edward glanced at each other, perplexed, and then the mom asked, “Who’s that baby, Madison? And who was the small boy who just left?” asking about a boy whom they saw waving goodbye to Madison. “Sorry, mommy,” the girl whispered as she lowered her head. “Can we please go inside and talk?”

“No, Madison!” Barbara said sternly. “You need to answer me first! Do you know how worried daddy and I were? We were going to call the police!” Madison shook her head. “No, Mommy! Please! They’re going to take Layla away! Please do not call the cops! I must keep Layla safe!” “Darling,” Edward told Barbara. “Let me handle this, okay? So Madison is the baby’s name, Layla?” he asked. “Where did you find her, honey?”

“Layla is my friend Terrence’s sister, daddy. His granny is sick and cannot care for Layla, and she refuses to go to the hospital because she says the cops will take Layla away. Layla’s parents went to the angel two months ago,” Madison explained.

The parents exchanged looks as they both realized that the baby’s grandma was afraid social services could take the little one away from her.

“And why didn’t you go to class, honey? Mommy called you today, but your phone was turned off,” Barbara said.

“I’m sorry. I go to Terrence’s house every day to look after Layla, so I don’t have time to go to classes… I return home when he gets home from school. We were playing with Layla today, and I didn’t check my phone.

“When I finally decided to call mommy, the phone was dead. Terrence’s granny was very sick today, so Terrence and I spent the entire day caring for her. That’s why I was late. I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you anything because I was scared I wouldn’t be able to play with Layla again.” 

At that moment, although they were mad at their daughter for skipping classed, the Hunts were also very proud of her for stepping in for a friend in need.

Madison asked if it was possible for them to take care of the baby.

“Well, honey,” Barbara said. “We can’t keep someone else’s baby like that with us, but daddy and I will figure out a way to help her. Let’s go inside now. It’s getting cold.” 

The following day, they visited Layla’s grandma, Mrs. Peterson. As she realized the woman was truly unable to take care of her grandchildren because of her old age, Barbara started spending more time in their house, helping with the kids.

Eventually, Barbara decided to ask Mrs. Peterson to move in with them together with Terrence and Layla.

“I am an old bird, and I am always worried about what will happen to my grandchildren after I die. I’ll be relieved and glad to know they’re in good hands if you take them in,” Mrs. Peterson said. But she eventually agreed to move in with the Hunts who started an adoption process. It took around two months for Layla and Terrence to legally become Barbara and Edward’s children.
