Meghan Markle latest news – ‘Out of touch’ Duchess HUMILIATED as ‘rubbish’ mentoring plan flops after ‘lecturing’ women

SINCE leaving the Royal Family, Meghan Markle has embarked on a number of ventures she claims will help women around the world.

But her recently launched mentoring programme is just one of several that appears to have flopped, not because it isn’t a worthy cause, but because the Duchess of Sussex made the project “all about her”, an expert has claimed.

Meghan’s idea was that famous and successful women give up 40 minutes of their time to help women adjust back into the workplace after a year of covid lockdowns made the experience less familiar.

But royal biographer Duncan Larcombe says the idea has not gone done well in the UK, where hardworking mothers aren’t happy about Meghan lecturing them on returning to work from inside her $11 million mansion.

He told True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat: “It’s great, she’s doing that, she’s just had a baby, and it’s all about Meghan, and it’s all rubbish frankly. It’s gone down so badly in this country.

“This initiative is nonsense, she should be spending her time trying to build bridges with the very people that she and Harry have betrayed…That’s what I think most people in this country believe,” he added.

  • MEGHAN & HARRY SAY THEY ‘FEEL THE MANY LAYERS OF PAIN’

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed they have been left “speechless” at the Taliban takeover.

    In a lengthy joint statement posted on their Archewell site, the pair urged the world to prove “our humanity”.

    The couple wrote: “As we all feel the many layers of pain due to the situation in Afghanistan, we are left speechless.

    “As we all watch the growing humanitarian disaster in Haiti, and the threat of it worsening after last weekend’s earthquake, we are left heartbroken.

    “And as we all witness the continuing global health crisis, exacerbated by new variants and constant misinformation, we are left scared.

  • MEGHAN MARKLE FINALLY RECOGNISED AS MUM-OF-TWO BY ROYALS

    The official web page for the Duchess of Sussex on royal.uk listed Meg as a mother of one until the end of July – even though baby Lili arrived on June 4.

    Before then, fans looking for information on Meghan were told: “The Duke and Duchess have one child, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.”

    However, the site has now finally been updated.

    It reads: “The Duke and Duchess have two children, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.”

    It’s the second time the official site has delayed changing details on Lili.

  • ‘MORE BANDWAGON-JUMPING’

    The couple didn’t include any reference to Mr Biden in their statement. The pair suggested Americans vote for him ahead of last year’s US election, while the Duke of Sussex is also a close friend of First Lady Jill.

    The president returned early from Camp David to give a speech on the disaster yesterday.

    But his address was condemned as “one of the most shameful in US history”.

    Mr Biden declared: “The buck stops with me” – after blaming Donald Trump, as well as the Afghan government, soldiers and people for the “gut-wrenching” scenes.

    The president blasted the Afghan army for “giving up” and said it’s right to leave – despite the Taliban seizing Kabul just a month after American troops quit the country.

  • MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY SLAMMED FOR ‘PUBLICITY-SEEKING WORD SALAD’ AFTER ‘CLINGING TO’ AFGHAN CRISIS WITH POST

    MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have been blasted online after saying they feel “layers of pain” amid the unfolding crisis in Afghanistan.

    Royal biographer Angela Levin and presenters Piers Morgan and Julia Hartley-Brewer are among those who have hit out at the couple’s “attention-seeking word salad”.

    Ms Levin, who wrote a biography on Harry, told Sun Online: “Who do they think they are?” It’s as if we are all small children and now they are going to look after us,” she said. “It’s meaningless – completely meaningless.”

    And she claimed the couple are simply “posturing” rather than offering a way forward.

    “It’s so grandiose and patronising,” she said.

    “This is another example of them telling us what to do – we mustn’t fly, we mustn’t have more than two children, we must be compassionate to those we know and those we don’t know – and they’re the least compassionate people you can imagine.”

  • INSIDERS CLAIM QUEEN AND FAMILY MISSED SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICE AT BALMORAL ESTATE

    Her Majesty and her family missed Sunday’s church service on the estate, according to claims.

    Insiders have suggested that they may have done so while waiting for the results of PCR tests.

    The Queen’s trip to Balmoral is her first away from Windsor since the Duke of Edinburgh’s death in April.

    Last month, sources said the “tired and grieving” monarch “could not wait” to get away. Family parties are planned despite the royals deeply missing Philip — affectionately dubbed the “Master of the Barbecue”.

    William, Kate and their three children are expected to arrive later this month in addition to Mike and Zara Tindall.

  • WHAT DID HARRY & MEGHAN SAY IN THEIR SPEECH?

    The former royal couple – using their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles – wrote in their 218-word essay: “As we all feel the many layers of pain due to the situation in Afghanistan, we are left speechless.

    “As we all watch the growing humanitarian disaster in Haiti, and the threat of it worsening after last weekend’s earthquake, we are left heartbroken.

    “And as we all witness the continuing global health crisis, exacerbated by new variants and constant misinformation, we are left scared.

    “When any person or community suffers, a piece of each of us does so with them, whether we realize it or not. And though we are not meant to live in a state of suffering, we, as a people, are being conditioned to accept it.

  • TALKRADIO HOST SLAMS HARRY & MEGHAN STATEMENT ON AFGHANISTAN

    TalkRADIO presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer also said: “Thank god ‘speechless’ Harry and Meghan have spoken on the terrible state of the world, so now we all know what we are supposed to feel, say and do.

    “We’d never have known if it weren’t for them being so… y’know… speechless.”

  • ROYAL BIOGRAPHER BLASTS HARRY AND MEGHAN: ‘WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?

    Royal biographer Angela Levin said today: “Who do they think they are?

    “It’s as if we are all small children and now they are going to look after us.

    “I think it’s just they try and outsmart the royal family.

    “They are in there first. They care, they are the only people that care when in fact they are ruthless and tough.

    “If you compare these soft doughy-eyed comments to what they do to their own family it makes no sense whatsoever.”

  • PRINCE ANDREW BEING TRACKED BY LAWYERS WHO ‘PLANNED TO AMBUSH HIM ON WINDSOR CASTLE HORSE RIDE’

    Andrew, 61, was the subject of a civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre in the US claiming he assaulted her in New York, London and the Caribbean when she was 17.

    The prince denies the allegations.

    Legal staff were waiting for Andrew to go on his regular horse ride at Windsor Castle just hours before the sex abuse allegations were filed, the Mirror reported.

    They reportedly wanted to serve him court papers in person.

    A source told the paper: “Virginia’s lawyers are under no illusions how difficult it is to get alongside the prince. They’ve been trying to speak to him for five years.

    “Processors were on the ground on Monday when the papers were filed in Manhattan hoping to hand them to him if he went out on his horse. He could be at Balmoral for months without coming out.”

    Under the Hague Convention, Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s legal team must give the papers to Andrew in person.

  • THOMAS MARKLE JNR SAYS HE ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT MEGHAN’S PREGNANCY IN THE PRESS

    Thomas Markle Jr said he thought it was “really sad” he and other family members had to find out about Meghan’s pregnancy in the media – and thinks the monarch should now step in and tell her to make amends with her estranged American relatives.

    “If she has one ounce of human kindness or humanity left in her heart – which I know she does –  she should give it to my dad,” he told Sun Online.

    “He is heartbroken about this whole situation and everybody knows that if it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t be where she’s at today. She owes him that for sure.”

  • PIERS MORGAN BLASTS MEGHAN MARKLE & HARRY’S 218-WORD ESSAY ON TALIBAN HORROR AND SAYS ‘IF ONLY’ THEY WERE ‘SPEECHLESS’

    PIERS Morgan has blasted Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s 218-word essay on the Taliban horrors, saying “if only” they were “speechless.”

    Meghan and Harry waded into the devastating Afghanistan crisis and described the world as “exceptionally fragile” – but they have been branded “hypocrites.”

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex say they have been left “speechless” at the Taliban takeover but remained tight-lipped on the growing anger at pal Joe Biden.

    In a lengthy joint statement posted on their Archewell site, the pair urged the world to prove “our humanity”. And they expressed their heartache at other global issues – including the earthquake in Haiti and new Covid variants.

    But the former GMB host was having none of it – tweeting “if only” they were speechless and said nothing. Responding to a headline reporting that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “speechless” at the horrors happening in Afghanistan, Piers quipped: “If only they were.”

  • PIERS MORGAN TAKES THINLY-VEILED SWIPE AT MEGHAN MARKLE AFTER TV AWARD NOMINATION & JOKES HE’LL ASK HER TO COLLECT GONG

    PIERS Morgan has taken a jab at Meghan Markle after he was nominated for an NTA Award.

    The TV firebrand – who stepped down from Good Morning Britain for refusing to apologise to the Duchess of Sussex – joked that he’ll ask her to collect his award. And he dubbed Meg ‘Princess Pinocchio’ in a thinly-veiled swipe online.

    Piers took to Twitter after it was revealed that he’s up for his first solo National Television Award (NTA) for best presenter.

    The 56-year-old, who will face off against Holly Willoughby, Bradley Walsh, Alison Hammond and Ant and Dec at the show, shared the news with his 7.9million followers.

    He wrote: “Most amused to finally be nominated for TV Presenter of the Year at the ⁦@OfficialNTAs – though could be a tad #awks for ITV if I win for my work on ⁦@GMB. Might have to pull a Brando and send Princess Pinocchio along to receive it on my behalf.”

  • MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY ‘ATTACKING’ THE QUEEN IS ‘UNFORGIVABLE’ AND ’EMBARRASSING’, SAYS THOMAS

    The 77-year-old, who is yet to meet grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, made the shocking statements during an interview with GB News.

    He said: “For God’s sake. Attacking their 95-year-old grandmother is unforgiveable.

    “None of the rest of the world deserves what they’ve been shovelling out. It’s embarrassing they are doing this.

    “It’s embarrassing for them to be telling me a few years ago to ‘never talk to the press’, but then they spend three hours on a show with Oprah where Harry claims he’s reclaiming his mental illness and curing himself. It is a joke.

    “You don’t go on the TV and talk for three hours and get rid of your mental illness, you talk to a psychiatrist in a room somewhere and you work out your problems.”

  • THE QUEEN’S ‘STINGING’ COMMENTS TO KATE MIDDLETON FOR LUXURY LIFESTYLE & ‘SWANNING OFF ON FIVE-STAR HOLIDAYS’

    The 95-year-old monarch reportedly believed that “swanning from one five-star holiday resort to another” was “not the prerequisite for a young woman possibly destined to be Queen”.

    In her 2010 biography William and Harry, author Katie Nicholl claimed that, by 2008, Kate‘s “love of exotic holidays” had caught the Queen’s attention.

    She wrote: “If she was not with William at Balmoral then the couple were skiing or holidaying on Mustique.

    “Kate was there so often the press dubbed her ‘Queen of Mustique’, a title that had previously belonged to Princess Margaret.

    “Britain was now in a recession and such frivolous displays of wealth were unpalatable to the Queen.”

  • MEGHAN IS A BULLY SAYS THOMAS MARKLE JNR

    Meghan’s half-brother has claimed she has ‘bullied people before and got her way, no matter what’ – and the Duchess has “shown her true colours”.

    He said he and his family believe she is a “changed person” in an interview with Bild after the latest teaser clip of Meghan and Harry’s upcoming interview with Winfrey was released.

    The 30-second snippet features Meghan accusing the Royal Family of “perpetuating falsehoods” and telling the interviewer “there’s a lot has been lost”.

    And Thomas, who shares the same father as Meghan, told the German newspaper the “sensitive young woman” making claims against the Royal Family isn’t the half-sister he knew.

    “I think it’s showing her true colours that none of the family recognises. She has changed as a person.”

  • THE ‘HURTFUL’ SECRET DETAILS FROM MEGHAN’S INFAMOUS LETTER

    Thomas Markle Jnr also warned warned there could be more “hurtful” details from the infamous letter the Duchess of Sussex sent to her estranged father.
