Hunter Biden’s marriage to filmmaker Melissa Cohen is on the rocks under the pressure of the federal investigation into him, say insiders. Sources close to the President’s wayward son say both Hunter and his South African wife “are frustrated because they are in lockdown,” while she has confided in friends that life with Hunter is “hard.” “Added to the pressure, the Secret Service lives in a much larger mansion next door to them and they watch over Hunter like hawks. It is extremely frustrating for both of them.” Hunter, 52, Melissa, 35, and their baby Beau have been mostly confined...

When asked about Meghan and Harry’s inappropriate intervention in the U.S. election, Trump responded in kind: “I’m not a fan of hers and I would say this, and she’s probably heard that… but I wish a lot of luck to Harry, because he’s gonna need it.” Markle and her husband, once beloved to Britons, recorded a video clearly aimed at vilifying Trump. They said yesterday: “As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity. When the bad outweighs the good, for many, whether we realize it or not, it erodes our ability to...

Harry and Meghan have begun their new careers as post-national corporate hood ornaments. They can trade on their royal celebrity and far-left political credentials in Hollywood to pay off a multi-million-dollar debt to the British people and maintain the lavish lifestyle to which they are accustomed. Their "take this kingdom and shove it" Instagram message of 01/08/20 expresses an adolescent insensibility to what dogs and grown-ups know about biting the hand that feeds you. Ultimately, it amounts to a statement of narcissistic post-nationalism, a lifestyle of feeding off the greatest, blood-won nation-states without pledging allegiance to any. Narcissistic post-nationalism is...

Meghan Markle was long “troubled” by disgraced royal Prince Andrew — and is glad to be free of “the ultimate embarrassing uncle,” it was claimed Thursday. “Meghan is not enamored of Andrew at all,” a royal source told the Sun. “Put it this way, she doesn’t view Andrew as one of the family’s great assets and he’s not going to be one of the people she’s going to miss on her time away from the Windsors,” the source said of Markle’s new life in Canada after quitting the royal family with husband Prince Harry. The relationship never took off, according...

LOS ANGELES – Harvey Levin not only has his thumb on the pulse of Hollywood, but the lively lawyer is also plugged into the goings-on within the royal family in a big way. Fox News went inside the studios of Thirty Mile Zone (TMZ) and sat down with Levin, who founded the outlet, to pick his brain about what viewers can expect to see from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following their announcement earlier this month that they will take "a step back” as senior members of the royal family. Levin was tapped by FOX to executive produce “Harry &...

With courtiers already alarmed at how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to cash in on their royal connections, this will have them reaching for the smelling salts. I hear that Meghan plans to become more 'politically engaged' now that she and Prince Harry have quit official duties. 'The Duchess is said to be frustrated that she was forced to stay out of politics after getting engaged to Harry,' a royal source tells me. 'She has strong political opinions and will now take advantage of the greater freedom she has to express them publicly.' The source claims that Meghan...

First off, the pair plans to remain at the $14 million waterfront property owned by a billionaire pal on Vancouver Island for the foreseeable future, sources said. From their posh digs, the couple will then begin building their expected commercial empire, now having the freedom to make millions of dollars and sign a raft of deals benefitting themselves and their pet causes. Netflix boss Ted Sarandos — who signed up President Obama and wife Michelle to a production deal — has already thrown his company’s hat in the ring in terms of hiring the couple for work. “Who wouldn’t be...

The number one story in the news in Great Britain (and a major story around the world) is the apparent abandonment of the Royal Family by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, better known as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The story obviously has a strong personal element, but it also strikes me as emblematic of our time. The British monarchy is not just ancient, but profoundly old-fashioned. It is founded on a concept of duty, exemplified by Queen Elizabeth II, that is utterly at odds with the 21st century. Being a Royal is a great job, most would say,...

Meghan Markle has trademarked her Sussex royal brand on more than 100 items, from teaching materials and emotional support groups to clothing and even newspapers, it can be revealed today. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are currently enjoying a six-week Christmas break in Canada, appear intent on turning their brand into a global empire as they stamp their name on the list of good and services. The move has seen the royal submit trademark applications on dozens of products including T-shirts, social services and more surprisingly newspapers for their newly created foundation Sussex Royal.

Prince Andrew's suggestion that sex is a 'positive act' for a man, so therefore difficult to forget, is said to have left Meghan Markle 'troubled'. A source, described as 'close to The Duchess of Sussex' spoke to The Daily Telegraph criticising his BBC Newsnight interview and describing Meghan's reaction to seeing it. After a week of catastrophic headlines for Prince Andrew, in which his charities have abandoned him, Meghan's camp hit out at the Duke. 'The interview left everyone watching it wanting to curl under a table. It just got worse and worse and worse,' a source close to the...

Princess Pushy — aka former Suits actress Meghan Markle; aka the current Duchess of Sussex; aka Prince Harry’s missus — has been telling anyone who’ll listen how tough it is being a member of Britain’s Royal Family. Interviewed for a documentary on Sunday night, the Duchess was close to tears when asked by reporter Tom Bradby about the state of her mental or physical health. Meghan: ‘And, also thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I’m OK. But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes.’ Tom: ‘And the answer is, would...

On Friday, ITV news released a clip from an upcoming documentary which showed Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, holding back tears as she acknowledged the challenges she's faced as a newlywed and mother in the spotlight. "Thank you for asking. Not many people have asked if I'm OK, but it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes," she said, before confirming, in the words of her interviewer, that she "isn't really OK." It's no surprise that Meghan is struggling. Our society's lack of concern for the well-being of new moms is terribly disturbing — and it's even...
