During an interview on London-based radio station LBC, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage asked Trump if he felt sorry for Markle, who has said the press is “being really unfair.” “I’ve been watching her interviews and I’ve seen it and she has been taking it very personally,” Trump said. “I guess you have to be a little bit different than that, but she takes it very, very personally. I can understand it.” Trump, who has routinely criticized the media for coverage he deems unfair, added that he didn’t “know her” but had met the duchess’s husband, Prince Harry — who...

“I have said for a long time to H, that’s what I call him, ‘It’s not enough to just survive something,’” said Markle. “’That’s not the point of life. You have to thrive. You have got to feel happy.’ I really tried to adopt this British sensibility of a ‘stiff upper lip.’ I really tried, but I think that what that does internally is probably really damaging.” “If things are fair, that completely tracks for me if things are fair,” said Markle. “If I do something wrong I’d be the first one to go, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry....

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...

The messages are reminiscent of supportive...

Buckingham Palace aides are advising the Queen's guests not to mention Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during their audience with Her Majesty, it is claimed. With the Duke and Duchess of Sussex grabbing headlines around the globe each day, many household guests are keen to discuss the young Royals with the monarch. But flunkies have allegedly begun to clamp down on this popular line of questioning and are informally steering visitors on to more 'polite' conversation topics, it is claimed.

Meghan Markle is reportedly miserable and she gave Prince Harry an ultimatum to choose between her and his family. The Duchess of Sussex allegedly convinced her husband to leave the royal family. “Meghan is so miserable that she can’t face being stuck in the UK for much longer,” a source told Life & Style magazine. “She wants to move to Southern Africa. And she effectively gave him an ultimatum: If they don’t relocate, she wants out.

Just 25 guests were present at the baptism today, which saw Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor christened in a private chapel at Windsor Castle, but the couple only released photographs celebrating with their immediate family. In a touching tribute to Harry's mother, Princess Diana's sisters Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale were prominent in the official picture. In the second image, which was black and white, Meghan was seen gazing into Harry’s eyes as the proud father looked down at Archie, while placing a hand on his wife’s arm.

The 'special relationship' between the UK and the US is elusive. Trump's visit to Britain nailed the optics of an empire that was wilting under the weight of an 'unequal' relation Romance and nostalgia surrounding the grandeur of the British empire in the 19th and 20th century is predicated on "the empire on which the sun never sets." This pomposity was extended to include emerging America in the mid-19th century to posit the Anglophone domain, as noted by Alexander Campbell in 1852, "To Britain and America, god has granted the possession of the new world; and because the sun never...

President Trump sat down with Piers Morgan for ITV's "Good Morning Britain" and clarified controversial comments last week about Meghan Markle. Trump said he wasn't calling Markle nasty, but rather was just surprised to hear her comments about him, including her assertion that if he became president it would force Americans to relocate to Canada. "I wasn’t referring to 'she’s nasty.' I said she was nasty about me. And essentially I didn’t know she was nasty about me," Trump told Morgan in the interview, set to air on Wednesday.

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was a no-show at the Buckingham Palace banquet for President Trump’s state visit to England on Monday, after the president called the former American actress “nasty” in an interview with a British newspaper. Markle, who is married to Prince Harry, is on maternity leave after giving birth to their first child, Archie, earlier in May. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, the wife of Prince William, was in attendance at the banquet as were Trump’s adult children. The American-born Markle also missed a royal luncheon at the palace with Trump and first lady Melania...

I never called Meghan Markle “nasty.” Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold! Will @CNN, @nytimes and others apologize? Doubt it!

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has compared Donald Trump's language to that of 'a 20th century fascist' and accused him of 'shamelessly' interfering in the Conservative party leadership race. Ahead of the US President's three-day State visit to the UK, starting tomorrow, Khan also condemned the decision to roll-out the red carpet for the UK's closest ally. It is the latest instalment in a long-running feud between the multimillionaire and Tooting-born Labour Mayor that dates back to 2016. Trump failed to mention the London mayor in an interview with The Sun last week, ahead of his State visit, where he...

The Duchess of Sussex was pregnant when she stood in front of the altar. And she was in love — not with her husband-to-be but her cousin. No, not Meghan, obviously — but the last woman to bear the title Duchess of Sussex. More than 200 years ago, a red-headed royal prince fell in love with a dark-haired older woman. What followed was a web of love, lies, deceit and royal disgrace which was to last 40 years. She was Lady Augusta Murray, daughter of the Earl of Dunmore. He was Prince Augustus Frederick, sixth son of 'mad' King George...

Meghan Markle received stern words from the Queen following a row over egg, a royal author has claimed.

Author Katie Nicholl told how the former actress had insisted on there being a 'macrobiotic alternative' for some of the Hollywood star guests who follow the diet which derives from Zen Buddhism. She told Yahoo's Royal Box: '[Meghan] got very upset when she felt that she could taste...

“It’s funny, I’ve actually been joking the last few weeks. I had seen this documentary on Netflix about feminism, and one of the things they said during pregnancy was ‘I feel the embryonic kicking of feminism.’ I loved that, so boy or girl, whatever it is, we hope that that’s the case with our little bump,” the Duchess of Sussex said Friday at an International Women’s Day event. Her comment was in response to a question onstage when asked “how that bump” was treating her. The crowd responded with warm choruses of laughter. Markle joined a panel of high-profile female...

Kensington Palace did something it hasn't done in months today: Issue a statement about a false story circulating about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Vanity Fair reported a day ago that Meghan and Harry are planning to raise their first baby gender fluid. The Palace called this "totally false." A source told Vanity Fair's Katie Nicholl that “Meghan has been talking to some of her friends about the birth and how she and Harry plan to raise their baby. Her exact word was fluid. She said they plan to raise their child with a fluid approach to gender and they...

Meghan Markle is due in just weeks, and Vanity Fair reports that she and Prince Harry have decided to raise their baby without labels and with a more “fluid approach to gender.” (FYI, Kensington Palace declined to comment on this when asked. Double FYI, Meghan is said to be having a boy.) “Meghan has been talking to some of her friends about the birth and how she and Harry plan to raise their baby. Her exact word was fluid,” a source told the magazine's royal reporter Katie Nicholl. “She said they plan to raise their child with a fluid approach...

“Meg is extremely faithful,” a longtime friend tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “We pray a lot together...She has had, and especially has now, a very close relationship with God.” Meghan, 37, was baptized into the Church of England in a secret ceremony last spring ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry. And the intimate service, which was a significant nod to Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth’s role as head of the Church of England, had special meaning for Meghan, as faith is a key pillar for her. “A deep sense of gratitude and humility has guided her,” the friend...

Meghan Markle, 37, and Prince Harry, 34, will become parents in a matter of weeks when the Duchess of Sussex welcomes their first baby. Body language expert Judi James told Express.co.uk Prince Harry’s body language appears to show how much more protective he has become of his wife, as well as seeming to be “in awe” of her. “Their body language became more mirrored and even more exclusive than it had before. Harry’s eye-gazing with Meghan on the beach during their first tour shows such intense focus that it seems someone is trying to tap him on the shoulder to...

Meghan Markle doesn’t just make bread with bananas. She also uses the fruit to share inspirational messages. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dropped by for an unexpected visit at the One25 charity foundation in Bristol on Friday, where Meghan proceeded to help bag up care packages to be delivered to women who need help breaking free of, or building new lives away from, street sex work. But Meghan didn’t just pack up the meals — she also spearheaded an idea to share uplifting messages to the women aided by the charity by writing them directly on the bananas included in...
