“Woke Royals”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Archewell Foundation suffered an $11 million drop in donations last year, meaning the organisation made a loss, tax filings reveal.

A public disclosure form filed with the American tax authorities shows Harry and Meghan’s foundation recorded a deficit of $674,485 due to a sharp plunge in donations.

The foundation received $13 million in 2021, including $10 million from a single donor, but that figure dropped to $2 million last year, the filing shows. The donations from last year were from two individual donors who each gave $1 million, though their identities are not revealed.

This marriage is toast.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stand to lose millions of dollars if they’re ever stripped of their royal titles, according to a Hollywood expert.

The couple, who stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and hightailed it across the pond, have kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles ever since.

But entertainment expert Mark Boardman says the pair’s finances may be in trouble should their Sussex titles ever be taken away from them.

A judge ruled against Prince Harry in his libel lawsuit against a British newspaper.

According to the Associated Press, the judge dealt the blow to Harry in the case he brought against the publisher of the Daily Mail.

However, the ruling only came during a preliminary ruling.

Harry and Meghan are facing a mounting backlash as they continue to maintain their silence on royal racism claims made by their ‘mouthpiece’ Omid Scobie in his new book.

The couple are yet to speak on the book publicly and a meeting between King Charles and Prince William is now set to take place next week to discuss the topic.

It could have serious consequences for Harry and Meghan as William is believed to ‘want action’ after his wife Kate was named alongside Charles as the two royals who expressed ‘concern’ about Archie’s skin colour.

The shameful smears against the royals are enough to make this republican sing ‘God Save the King’.

I’m no fan of the monarchy. I’m particularly no fan of the current occupant of the throne. I don’t want to be anyone’s subject. But I especially don’t want to bend the knee to King Charles III, a reactionary environmentalist whose ideas about the world are even weirder than all that stuff about him talking to plants would suggest.

At Pierre Lafond Market in the West Coast town of Montecito, a smoked salmon and freshly baked bagel will set you back $17. The café and deli, said by staff to be a favourite spot for the Duchess of Sussex to pick up pastries and desserts, is a mainstay of the Californian celebrity enclave, 90 minutes’ drive from Los Angeles.

The upmarket eatery hints at Meghan’s easy life among the stars. She enjoys shopping trips to the Wendy Foster luxury boutique, where stud gold earrings sell for $750 a pair, and dinner with Harry, 39, at the Italian restaurant Tre Lune, where Kevin Costner and the singer Kenny Loggins are said to be patrons.

The hunt for the leaker who provided biographer Omid Scobie with the names of two members of the Royal Family in a ‘racism’ row is underway – as both sides remain firm that they are not to blame.

King Charles III and Kate Middleton were named as the royals alleged to have made comments about the skin colour of Harry and Meghan’s son Archie prior to his birth in the Dutch edition of Scobie’s latest tome, Endgame.

The King is said to be taking the taking the furore over the book ‘very seriously’ and will consult senior advisers next week on the family’s next step, with ‘all options’ including legal action set to be considered.

The BBC has named the King and the Princess of Wales as the royals at the centre of a racism row.

Radio 4’s Today programme announced the names to its listeners, just an hour after saying the corporation would not be disclosing them.

The decision is understood to have been taken by senior news executives, after multiple British newspapers and broadcasters identified the pair as the royals said to have commented on the colour of Prince Archie’s skin.

Ever since 2021’s absurd Oprah Winfrey interview, in which the Duchess of Sussex coyly suggested that a member of the Royal Family had speculated about what colour her then-unborn first child’s skin would be, there has been an egregious fascination with the identity of the notorious figure known only as ‘the royal racist’.

Speculation has swirled around virtually every member of the Firm – if you want to edify yourself further, the words ‘royal family’ and ‘racist’ entered into the right search engine will eventually lead you to the probable culprit. But although their identity has been hiding in plain sight for a considerable period of time, there has been a refusal to name this man or woman. That is, save only for Prince Harry observing pointedly that the culprit was neither the Queen nor Prince Philip.

The king is profiting from the deaths of thousands of people in the north-west of England whose assets are secretly being used to upgrade a commercial property empire managed by his hereditary estate, the Guardian can reveal.

The Duchy of Lancaster, a controversial land and property estate that generates huge profits for King Charles III, has collected tens of millions of pounds in recent years under an antiquated system that dates back to feudal times.

Financial assets known as bona vacantia, owned by people who died without a will or known next of kin, are collected by the duchy. Over the last 10 years, it has collected more than £60m in the funds. It has long claimed that, after deducting costs, bona vacantia revenues are donated to charities.

The Duchess of Sussex does not want to return to the UK because she refuses to “dive back into the soap opera”, according to reported excerpts from a book about the couple.

Endgame, which is written by Omid Scobie, an author widely seen as having close ties to Meghan and the Duke of Sussex, is said to make claims that threaten to imperil any reconciliation with the royal family.

I call that a win for the Windsors.

As phone calls go, there was no shortage of hype. On Tuesday, as the King marked his 75th birthday with an engagement highlighting a food waste project, the headlines were instead dominated with news that Prince Harry planned to call his father later that day from California.

The Sussexes may have been absent from Charles’s birthday party at Clarence House for his extended family and close friends that night, but they were still keen to be part of the day’s narrative.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly less than impressed with the recent “Family Guy” episode that mocked the runaway royals.

Sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claim that the pair have labeled the “savage” episode as an “outrageous slur,” according to Closer magazine.

The couple found themselves the butt of the joke in a recent episode of the series, in which their money-hungry ways were mercilessly mocked by the animated show.

The jet-setting Sussexes have some nerve lecturing us plebs about our carbon footprints.

Another day, another private jet taken by some scaremongering celeb who never stops ‘reminding’ us that the planet will probably be burnt to a crisp by Christmas if we don’t go everywhere by bike. No, it’s not Emma Thompson this time – she’s the one who took a 5,400‑mile transatlantic first-class flight between Los Angeles and London to join Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists back in 2019, as they yet again brought grief to people attempting to get to work. XR announced grandly that her jaunt was ‘an unfortunate cost in our bigger battle to save the planet’.
