How Trump could complicate things for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media Today, a look at Vanity Fears relationship with the Sussexes gone cold, how Trump could complicate things for Harry and Meghan, and whatever happened to Meghan's pal Jessica. Hello and welcome to Pallace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Richard Eden writes in the Daily Mail under the headline, sources reveal what Meghan did before marriage that they describe as a punch to the soul of pleaguxus. They tell me why it set alarm bells ringing and made them fear her motivations. Per Eden. I can disclose, however, that it was not this Vanity Fair article, but a previous interview in the magazine that truly alarmed at buckinghand Palace.

0:47 Back in twenty seventeen, the then Meghan Markel was thrilled when she learned she would be on the cover of the respected US magazine. It was an ambition that she had long help, but one of which she could only dream while still a minor actress on the TV legal drama Suits. The cover of Vanity Fair was reserved for genuine stars, so when she was approached by the magazine after news broke of her romance with Prince Harry the previous October. Megan couldn't contain her excitement. She's just wild about Harry, gushed the headline that September inside the magazine declared as Markle tells Vanity Fair about her biracial background, her romance who hit series suits. It seems that this thirty six year old American may be just the woman for Britain's iconoclastic Royal. While Megan was jubilant at the prospect of her double whammy bagging a prince in a Vanity Fair cover, Royal officials were perturbed by the article when it was published. It was like a punch to the solar plexus, and a Royal source told Eden, we do not expect friends of members of the Royal family to give such interviews. The source pointed out that Cap Middleton and Lady Diana Spencer, for example, waited until after their engagements had been announced before they gave an interview, and in both cases it was organized by Pallas Affair for the TV cameras under the strictness of conditions. While people were pleased that Harry had found a serious girlfriend, the article did settle arm bells ringing. The source told me it made people worry that Miss Markle was seeking to use the relationship for publicity purposes. She is just wild about Harry, the Vanity Fair headline gushed in twenty seventeen,

2:19 but Megan was not happy with the cover story and neither was Buckingham Palace, say sources. Royal author Valentine Lowe wrote in his book Courtiers, The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, that Meghan was troubled by the focus of the article being her relationship with Harry. A source was quoted as saying she was very unhappy with how that had been handled, and she was looking to throw blame in every possible direction, despite it having been a positive peace. She did not like the photographs. She thought the story was negative. She was upset that it was about Harry, not about her. Harry and Meghan also allegedly thought the headline was racially motivated, and pointed out the song I'm Just Wild About Harry had been performed by Judy Garland and Rooney as a blackface number in the nineteen thirty nine film Babes in Arms.

3:06 Royal journalist Sarah Luise Robertson tells gb News that Donald Trump can do anything. At the moment, Harry and Meghan are so low down on his list of priorities. At the moment, he won't have given them a thought. But later down the line, if they say something else to upset him, I don't think he would have any qualms. The sticking point would be that he seems to really adore Prince William, he adores King Charles, and he loves our royal family, so he probably wouldn't want to do anything that would cause upset to them. However, Trump has a long memory and he doesn't like people who are disloyal. He didn't like the way they conducted themselves. Royal journalist Sarah Luise added he didn't like the way they acted toward the Queen and the documentary that they made. Also, he didn't like the way they snubbed him when he came across from his royal visit, and Megan Caldon misogynistic in an interview. He doesn't forget things like this, and he may very well do what Biden didn't and actually make public Harries visa application, which will show IF's lied or not about taking drugs. Some interesting words from Camilla Tommeny in The Telegraph, she writes Prince Harry's autobiography. Spare would go on to incorrectly describe me as the Telegraph's royal correspondent who had reported a sci fi fantasy that Meg had reduced Kate to tears. No, I hadn't, Regardless, he went on to say, I was someone who always made me ill, adding she had always always got stuff wrong.

4:27 This felt more than wrong. It's a curious comment to make about a journalist whom he personally invited to cover his HIV initiative with Rhianna in Barbados, and who broke the accurate news of his relationship with Meg and Markle in the first place. But it seems there's Harry and Meghan's truth, and then there is everyone else's, incidentally on collusion with the Palace. When I broke that world exclusive, I didn't even run the story by the Royal Press Office beforehand, because I knew it was true and I didn't want to deal with any unnecessary interference. I also didn't want it to leak and get out scooped by any of my rival In all my times a royal reporter, I was never handed stories by the Palace. In fact, they would actively trade a block any negative reporting of any member of the royal family, including Prince Harry I was a constant thorn in their side and vice versa, and on the vendetta point rarely. In reality, what happened is that the undiluted praise that was being heaped on the Sussexes by journalists including me, She's a breath of fresh air changed when we started getting wind of staff leaving in their droves, tension between the royal brothers, tensions with royal sisters in law, and tensions within the royal household.

5:34 As we accurately reported at the time, the Sussexes were growing increasingly unhappy and were looking for a way out. There were also bullying claims, which the couple denied. What were they supposed to do? Ignore all this and only tell one side of the story. That's not journalism. We leave that kind of propaganda to the Sussex squads on social media who think nothing of using the hashtag Camillatomeny is a liar without having even been within five feet of a royal figure, let alone a fact. Seven years on, and vanity fairs has produced an eight thousand word cover story which appears to further vindicate what I was writing back in twenty eighteen and beyond. Despite all that's been said and done, I'm genuinely pleased for Prince Harry. The truth matters. Pallas Intrigum me rat back. For years, Megan Michael and stylists Jessica mulroney were close friends, with mulroney playing a significant role in Meghan's life from her royal wedding to her baby shower and even the couple's Australian royal tour, but their once close bonds seemingly unraveled, with the pair now distant, if not completely estranged. Jessica Mulroney's three children famously featured in Meghan and Prince Harry's twenty eighteen wedding, with her daughter Ivy serving as flower girl and her twin sons Brian and John charming the world as page boys. Mulroney was also present for Meghan's lavish New York baby shower in twenty nineteen, and reportedly played her behind the scenes role during the couple's decision to step back from royal duties. However, the friendship began to falter in twenty twenty following a public controversy. The rift

7:04 started when mulroney faced allegations of racism during a feud with lifestyle blogger Susha Exeter. Exeter accused mulroney threatening her brand connections during a dispute about a Black Lives Matter post. Despite mulroney's public apologies and attempts to repair her reputation, the fallout was swift and her losing TV gigs and enduring significant public criticism. Around the same time, reports emerged suggesting Megan had distanced herself from mulroney. While mulroney initially insisted their friendship remained intact, sharing public messages of support from Megan, signs of strain continued to surface. Cryptic Instagram posts by mulroney about losing friends and reflecting on toxic relationships fueled speculation that their bond had cooled. In twenty twenty two, the pair appeared even further apart, and by twenty twenty three, Meghan and Harry's visit to Canada marked a notable moment of separation. Despite being in mulroney's home country, The Sussexes reportedly chose to space end their time with other friends such as Michael Boublay and his wife, rather than reconnect with mulroney. Now, with Meghan's recent return to Instagram, fans have noticed mulroney's absence from the Duchess's social media activity.

8:12 Mulroney is not following Meghan's new account, and her silence about Meghan's posts, ranging from a heartfelt tribute to her late dog Guy to the trailer for her upcoming Netflix show, has not gone unnoticed. It seems the once close relationship may be a thing of the past, and they have it'd like to email us. Our address is the palaceintrig at gmail dot com.
