“At the drinks before the dinner, a small group were talking to the monarch and she explained that Harry meeting Meghan had become a complete catastrophe and described her as evil,” the source claimed.
“Everybody’s eyebrows hit the ceiling,” the source recalled.
“It was out of character for the Queen to use such a word as ‘evil’ to describe Meghan, but she saw straight through her.
Ahead of the coronation, those wanting to get rid of the monarch include Australia, Canada and Jamaica
Citizens in six of the 15 Commonwealth realms that recognise the King as head of state would vote to become republics, a poll has found.
Canada, Australia, the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Solomon Islands, and Antigua and Barbuda would all vote in favour of becoming republics if a referendum were held tomorrow, according to the survey by Lord Ashcroft has found.
Radical anti-royalists known for defacing statues of monarchs and slipping past security in Windsor Castle to kiss on the King’s bed are planning to join protesters at the coronation.
No More Royals, a new student-led campaign group on the “extreme wing of the anti-monarchy movement”, intends to mingle with crowds of more mainstream republicans on Saturday, The Times has learnt.
Abolition of the monarchy seems always in Canada’s future, never its present.
This is one message of a new poll of Canadians and other Commonwealth citizens by Michael Ashcroft, a pollster and former deputy chairman of the U.K. Conservative Party.
Even a clearly phrased referendum held tomorrow is not certain to succeed, despite strong republican opinions across Canada, the poll suggests.
I find myself wishy one day and washy the next on the question of the Royal family. If woke lectures become the norm I would lean toward severance in short order however.
The remote South Pacific tribe that worships Prince Philip is preparing to hold a party for the Coronation of King Charles III.
Villagers on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu will raise the Union flag, dance and drink kava, an intoxicating drink made from pulverised roots, according to a local leader.
As the King is crowned in Westminster Abbey on Saturday, people will gather 10,000 miles away in the villages of Yakel and Yaohnanen.
An American think tank is to sue the US government for access to Prince Harry’s immigration files to confirm whether he admitted past illegal drug use on his visa application.
The Heritage Foundation, a right-wing organisation based in Washington, has demanded to know whether the Duke of Sussex, 38, confessed to taking drugs when he moved to California in 2020. In his recent memoir, Spare, the duke, who is at odds with the royal family, admitted using marijuana, magic mushrooms and cocaine.
The US should deny him entry on his return from the coronation. Too many now believe themselves above the law.
When King Charles III is crowned on Saturday, he will undergo a ritual so rare in modern British history that it last occurred 70 years ago, roughly the wait between sightings of Halley’s comet. And yet the coronation has yet to capture the imagination of a Britain preoccupied by other concerns.
Images of the new king — in chocolate, in Legos and in wax — are popping up in bakeries, toy stores and at Madame Tussauds wax museum. Ancient relics of coronation, like the Scottish stone of destiny, are being delivered to Westminster Abbey for the ceremony. Charles and his queen consort, Camilla, are rehearsing every step of the service in a specially staged room at Buckingham Palace.
A challenge fit for a king
On September 10, 1946, British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin remarked, “kings are pretty cheap these days.”
His comment was directed at the displaced monarchs who floated, dispossessed, around Europe, but it might also have been a dig at the ailing king George VI, who had found his métier in wartime but struggled to regain it afterwards.
The Duke of Sussex appears to have scuppered any hope of a reconciliation with his brother at the Coronation after claiming in court documents that the Prince of Wales received a secret payment from Rupert Murdoch’s company over phone hacking.
Prince William received a “huge sum” as part of a private settlement for being a victim of hacking, Prince Harry alleged in High Court papers made public on Tuesday as part of his case against the owners of the News of the World and The Sun.
Meghan Markle will not attend the coronation of her father-in-law, King Charles III, on May 6. In an interview with Oprah in 2021, Markle accused a member of the Royal family of expressing “concerns” about the potential skin color of her and Harry’s (then unborn) son.
Responding to speculation that this may have something to do with her absence, Markle’s press secretary said that, on the contrary, Markle is “going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago.” A friend of the couple confirms that Markle has “moved on” from the race row.
PRINCE Harry will be sitting 10 rows back from the rest of the royals at the coronation and is expected to make a sharp exit, according to a royal expert.
Paul Burrell says there is “no chance” of a reconciliation and that Harry may not even have time to speak to his father or brother during his visit.
A new poll from the Angus Reid Institute suggests most respondents (60 per cent) oppose even recognizing Charles as King. Just 28 per cent say they have a favourable view of Charles, while nearly half (48 per cent) do not.
And the news is equally bad when it comes to how they feel about Charles’s wife.
Andy and Harry have made a lasting shambles of the Royal family image by involvement with shady outsiders.
I am not sure people are willing to carry on with the fantasy any longer and reveleations of Charles vast unearned wealth can’t be helping especially given his tendency to woke lecturing.
How’d you like to get a letter from a newly married-in family member, telling you all about your ‘racism’ and ‘unconscious bias’?
It’s disgusting, not only to hear it from a not-so-black person who claims to be an expert on blackness, but because such racism probably doesn’t exist, and worst of all, amounts to a sort of mind-reading about intentions that the person on the receiving end knows nothing about, so good luck defending himself. Given that the royal family allowed Markle, a commoner no less, into the royal family circle, and handed her a fancy ‘duchess’ title, it doesn’t sound like a lot of racism to normal people.
Meghan Markle’s decision not to attend the coronation of King Charles III is said to be partly over “unconscious bias” regarding race, sources have claimed.
Meghan Markle, the wife of wayward British Prince Harry, has reportedly refused to go to her father-in-law’s coronation over an ongoing race row she is having with the UK royal family, sources have told the UK press.
I think Charles is hoping Harry escapes Meghan’s thrall but if I were him they would both be disowned, she’s nothing but a grifter.
There are many reasons to be concerned about King Charles III. His general kowtowing to ‘wokery’ is risible, since the Left desires nothing more than his abolition. What concerns me the most, however, is his Islamophilia.
Whatever your opinion of the British monarchy, there is no denying her late Majesty‘s devotion to the nation. Her stoicism, her political neutrality, and the universal affection she inspired are likely to remain unparalleled. Beyond that, however, is the comfort she provided us in the traditions she upheld; a realisation that struck many of us only in the wake of her passing. The ascension of King Charles III, therefore, signals much more than a perfunctory changing of the guard. It is arguably the end of an era.
