“Woke Royals”

Is anyone else starting to feel harassed by Harry and Meghan? There’s no escaping them. Open Spotify and there they are. Browse Netflix and you’ll be invited to hear ‘their truth’. The one we already heard on Oprah? Not again.

The line the Sussexes love to spin is that we’re intruding into their lives. In truth they’re intruding into ours. They won’t leave us alone. I half expect to wake up one morning and find Meghan outside my apartment with a megaphone telling me yet again about the time a senior royal wondered what colour her baby would be.

When the first trailer for Harry & Meghan appeared last week, it offered hints that the documentary series would be pretty inflammatory. This one goes much further. It is an all-out declaration of war.

The media are once again in Harry and Meghan’s sights. But above all it is the institution of the royal family that is on the receiving end of their fury, especially the Palace advisers who have for so long been the subject of the couple’s unmitigated hatred.

They are accused of leaking, of planting stories and — perhaps the biggest crime in Meghan’s book — of failing to protect her against the wicked tabloid press.

IT has been written with what the publisher promises will be “raw, unflinching honesty”: a firsthand account of Prince Harry’s life that he insists is “accurate and wholly truthful.”

As the Royal family braces itself for Spare, arguably the most eagerly awaited autobiography in royal history, the mood behind palace walls is growing increasingly weary. It can’t have been helped when on Thursday the trailer for Harry and Meghan’s imminent Netflix documentary dropped, asking the loaded question, ‘When the stakes are this high, why wouldn’t you want to hear our story from us?’

‘Why did you want to make this documentary?’ That is the question – over portentous piano chords – that begins the trailer for the next instalment in the apparently endless Sussex saga, Harry and Meghan. The answers that the viewer might supply: publicity-seeking on a grand scale; unbelievable narcissism– are not uttered. Instead, over stylised black and white photographs of the duo kissing, being crazily in love and every inch the perfect couple, Harry replies, with becoming grimness, ‘No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors.’ Cue pictures of Meghan apparently in tears looking at her phone; the Royal Family aloof and cold; and a million photographers, their cameras thrust priapically aloft. Oh, the drama.

Climate change activist Meghan Markle has been spotted yet again traveling by private jet, this time boarding an aircraft in Indianapolis following her speaking engagement at “The Power of Women” summit.

Netflix has released a first glimpse of its multimillion-pound documentary featuring the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

In a trailer shared on social media, which suggests the couple will pull no punches in the series, Prince Harry says: “No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors.”

In another clip Meghan says: “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”

When the dramatic account emerged last week of how the Duke of York had been reduced to tears when he was told by his brother Charles, then the Prince of Wales, that he would never return to public duties, it raised an intriguing question. Why had Prince Andrew not figured that out already?

He was, according to The Mail on Sunday, “blindsided” by the outcome of the meeting and “utterly bereft”. But ever since he had been forced to step down from royal duties there had been repeated reports that there was no way back for Andrew. Was he the only person in the country not to have got the message?

Dr. Jordan Peterson has hit back at Meghan Markle after she took a swipe at him in her podcast.

Last month, the Duchess of Sussex took a swipe at the controversial psychologist on her Spotify series Archetypes over his use of the word “crazy”.

The former Suits actress featured an audio clip of the self-help author saying: “I don’t think that men can control crazy women.”

A man has been arrested after eggs were thrown at the King and Queen Consort during a visit to York.

A protester was restrained by police as crowds gathered at Micklegate Bar, the traditional royal entrance into the city, to greet the couple.

He was heard to shout “this country was built on the blood of slaves” as he was restrained.
