Meghan and Harry have been the talk of the Royal Family since stepping down from their positions.

  via Getty Images  

Meghan and Harry said they wanted a more private life for their children, and moved to Los Angeles to live a more normal life out of the media eye.

​However, many feel like the couple has truly slandered the Royal Family.

  via Getty Images  

And that Harry’s relationships with his brother, father and grandparents was “hanging by a thread.”

Although, through the rifts, there were reports that the Royal Family were “delighted” by the news of the couple’s second child, Lilibet’s birth.

  via Getty Images  

Despite Harry’s continuous blasting of them across all media platforms.

Harry’s relationship with his family remains strained.

  via Getty Images  

With Charles apparently refusing his calls on the lead up to the announcement in 2020. Harry also said he was financially cut off from his father after they stepped down and at first they were forced to live off Diana’s inheritance.

Asked by Oprah Winfrey during their televised interview about why they left, Harry blamed a “lack of support and lack of understanding.”

  via Getty Images  

He also said he wanted to get away from the ‘genetic pain’ he felt from his family, especially his father, King Charles.

“I feel really let down because he’s been through something similar, he knows what pain feels like, (and) Archie’s his grandson.”

  via Getty Images  

“But at the same time – I will always love him – but there’s a lot of hurt that’s happened and I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship. But they only know what they know, or what they’re told.”

Then, of course, following Lilibet’s birth came the controversy surrounding her name…

  via Getty Images  

With one royal biographer, Angela Levin, deeming it as ‘rude.’

As we know, their baby girl was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

  via Getty Images  

Paying tribute to Harry’s late mother Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in 1997, when Harry was just twelve.

The name Lilibet is also a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II herself.

  via Getty Images  

A family pet name, the Queen bestowed it on herself as a child as she couldn’t pronounce the name Elizabeth. The name was particularly used by the Queen’s late husband Prince Philip. It was also used by her doting father, King George VI.

But, despite the tribute, people still weren’t happy with some even accusing that, by using the Queen’s private pet name as a first name, Harry had broken royal protocol.

  via Getty Images  

Harry was heavily criticized for taking such a private, intimate pet name and giving it to his child, after what some are calling an ‘onslaught of abuse’ against his grandmother and The Firm.

Royal commentator, Richard Kay, suggested that it may be a step too far for Meghan and Harry to name their daughter Lilibet.

  via Getty Images  

Writing in a column for the Daily Mail, he said: “By giving the baby the name Lilibet, the Queen’s private family nickname – even though they intend to use the diminutive ‘Lili’ for their daughter – there is a risk.”

“Will it be seen as a presumptuous choice for a royal baby who is eighth in line to the throne, but who will grow up on the other side of the world speaking with an American accent?”

  via Getty Images  

“It is tempting to wonder if Harry would have been so emboldened in his choice if his grandfather Prince Philip – the only close family member permitted to call the Queen ‘Lilibet’ – had still been alive.”

“Doubtless, there will be among the more cautious courtiers at the Palace some discomfort and the odd raised eyebrow at this latest convention-destroying Exocet from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

  via Getty Images  

There was a mixed response to the name, with some believing that the couple were pandering to the Queen for forgiveness, whilst others thought that it was a touching tribute.

Following that, Meghan revealed in a short clip that she was asking forty friends to donate forty minutes to help mentor a woman back into work.

  via Getty Images  

In a message on their Archewell website with the clip, Meghan also wrote: “In reflecting on my 40th birthday and the many things I am grateful for, I’m struck that time is among our greatest and most essential gifts.”

“Time with our loved ones, time doing the things we love, time spent learning, laughing, growing, and the sacred time we have on this earth. Amongst the most valuable gifts of time is also time spent in service to others knowing that it can contribute to incredible change.”

  via Getty Images  

“To that last point, and with my 40th lap around the sun in mind, it made me wonder: what would happen if we all committed 40 minutes to helping someone else or to mentoring someone in need? And then what would happen if we asked our friends to do the same?”

“In the past two years, and in large part because of the COVID-19 pandemic, tens of millions of women around the world have left the workforce, including over 2 million women in the US.”

  via Getty Images  

“So many of these women are also shouldering the brunt of the crisis when it comes to unpaid labor, including schooling and caring for family members. And the latest research shows that fewer women than men will regain work as we recover from the pandemic.”

“I believe mentorship is one way to help women regain confidence and rebuild their economic strength, and for my birthday, I have asked 40 friends, activists, athletes, artists, and world leaders to help kickoff a global effort by contributing 40 minutes of mentorship to support women re-entering the workforce.”

  via Getty Images  

“With this time, I hope they each help someone advance a professional life on her own terms, and, I hope that they inspire countless others to give 40 minutes of their time as well.

“If you are able, please join us and pledge 40 minutes today in service of others in the way that feels right to you. The time that you donate can contribute to a global wave of service and set in motion meaningful impact in our own communities, and across the world.”

And not long after, the pair sparked opinions from people once again…

  via Getty Images  

When the couple released their 2021 Christmas card which features the first public photo of their daughter, Lilibet.

  via Getty Images  

However, there are some people that had an issue with it as they “felt sorry” for Archie…

“Poor Archie completely ignored and they wasn’t significant enough to make them a family,” one person said.

  via Getty Images  

“To be honest, that’s a little insulting to poor Archie. Sort of like until Lili came along he didn’t really matter. The photo is also all about Lili, no one is paying him any attention. Hope that’s not reflection of reality!” said another.

People have been left “feeling sorry” for Archie as they claim he looked “sad” and was being left out.

  via Getty Images  

What do you think? We think the picture is adorable!

Next, Will and Kate got serious backlash.

  via Getty Images  

The pair sent a message to Meghan Markle over social media that got everyone talking.

“No,” one person simply replied.

  via Getty Images  

“Seriously?? Wow. No words,” another wrote.

“I can’t I just can’t,” another noted.

  via Getty Images  

So what got people so riled up?

Well, Will and Kate wished Meghan a Happy Birthday…

  via Getty Images  

Yes, that’s right… People are furious about it as they claim that Meghan doesn’t deserve a Happy Birthday from the Cambridges.

In other news, Meghan has used the first episode of her brand new podcast to take a swipe at the Royal Family.

  via Getty Images  

During the episode, she claimed that she was forced to continue with her engagements on a tour of South Africa despite being left in tears when her son Archie narrowly escaped a fire in his bedroom.

Meghan started her podcast by talking about the word ambition.

  via Getty Images  

And how it affected her negatively.

“And um, apparently ambition is, uh… a terrible, terrible thing, for a woman that is – according to some.

  via Getty Images  

“So, since I’ve felt the negativity behind it, it’s really hard to un-feel it,” she said, as per the Daily Mail.

“I can’t unsee it, either, in the millions of girls and women who make themselves smaller – so much smaller – on a regular basis,” she added.

  via Getty Images  

Further adding to the topic, Meghan spoke to tennis legend Serena Williams, who is one of her close friends, about the double standards women face when they are labeled “ambitious.”

She complained about the misconception “that if you’re an ambitious woman you have an agenda, you must be calculating or selfish or aggressive, or a climber.”

  via Getty Images  

And she said that “the notion of ambition comes with many judgments and nuances — especially for women.”

“Now, look, I’m not Catholic. I wasn’t raised Catholic.

  via Getty Images  

“But about one year after my letter-writing campaign, I started middle school at Immaculate Heart (in Los Angeles). I stayed there, through high school. I was there for six years. And this feminist ideology trickled down into nearly every aspect of my education,” she said.

“It’s probably safe to say into every aspect of my life. This message to me and my classmates was clear: our futures as young women were limitless. Ambition. Well, that was the whole point. 

  via Getty Images  

“So I don’t ever remember personally feeling the negative connotation behind the word ambitious until I started dating my now husband,” Meghan said. 

And another episode of Meghan’s podcast hit headlines…

  via Getty Images  

In the episode, Meghan spoke about the battles women face to keep their emotions inside with actors Constance Wu, Jenny Slate, and Deepika Padukone.

“I think when you’re taught that ladies don’t make scenes or, like, if you make a scene, you’re crazy,” said Wu.

  via Getty Images  

“But really, the craziest thing in the world would be to keep all of that inside. So this. You, right now, I mean. I think it’s… I think it’s beautiful,” Meghan replied.

“So, even my own version of like… I would love to cry this much, but I’m conditioned to still have some – a different kind of composure.

  via Getty Images  

“And now you sort of go, oh, just relax and let it out. And I see the same thing in my kids as you’re talking about in yours, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I want to do that’. I want to feel so deeply. It’s like an Adele album. Just like so much intense emotion,” she continued.

“Raise your hand if you’ve ever been called ‘crazy’ or ‘hysterical’, ‘nuts’, ‘out of your mind’, ‘completely irrational’.

“If we were all in the same room and could see each other, I think it’d be pretty easy to see just how many of you out there have your hands up. By the way, me too,” Meghan said.

Meghan has opened up about her life before entering the Royal Family, and how she struggled with how she was viewed while working on Deal or No Deal.

  via Shutterstock  

She appeared in 34 episodes between 2006 and 2007.

In this weeks podcast with Paris Hilton, called Breaking Down the Bimbo, Meghan shared that she was treated like a “bimbo.”

  via Getty Images  

Explaining that she hopes her daughter doesn’t have to go through that: “I want our daughter to aspire to be slightly higher. Yeah, I want my Lili to want to be educated and want to be smart and to pride herself on those things.”

Speaking about working on Deal or No Deal, she said: “I ended up quitting the show. I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage. I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks. And little substance. And that’s how it felt for me at the time being reduced to this specific archetype the word bimbo.”

  via Getty Images  

She added: “I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me, but that wasn’t the focus of why we were there and I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach. Like I said, I was thankful for the job but not for how it made me feel which was not smart.”

Meghan admitted that while she was “really grateful as an auditioning actress to have a job,” she just couldn’t shake the feeling of being appreciated for just her body rather than her brain.

  via : Getty Images  

She said: “There were times when I was on set at Deal or No Deal and thinking back to my time working as an intern at the U.S. Embassy in Argentina, Buenos Aires, and being in the motorcade with the secretary of treasury at the time and being valued specifically for my brain.”

Meghan went on to interview Paris Hilton and  Iliza Shlesinger.

  via Getty Images  

They discussed the misogynistic labels of ‘Bimbo’ and ‘Dumb Blonde’, and why “brains and beauty in a woman have been historically pitted against each other.”

They then went on to discuss their hopes for women of the future.

  via Getty Images  

Meghan said: “Curious to hear your thoughts on this idea of, when I hear the word ‘bimbo,’ I have a very negative connotation to it. I don’t see that as an aspirational thing for women.”

Meghan then pondered for a moment: “I want our daughters to aspire to be.”

  via Getty Images  

Before fellow guest, Iliza Shlesinger, quipped in response: “Slightly higher.”

“Yeah. I want my Lili to want to be educated, and want to be smart, and to pride herself on those things,” the forty-one-year-old replied.

And next, Meghan finally broke her silence on the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

  via Getty Images  

She said she was very fortunate to have known her.

“I feel fortunate [to have known her],” she told Variety in an interview.

  via Getty Images  

“I’m really grateful that I was able to be with my husband, [Prince Harry], to support him, especially during that time,” she continued.

“What’s so beautiful is to look at the legacy that his grandmother was able to leave on so many fronts,” she said.

  via Getty Images  

Meghan called the Queen “the most shining example of … female leadership,” and added: “I feel deep gratitude to have been able to spend time with her and get to know her.”

She noted while it’s been a “complicated time” Harry has remained ever-optimistic and said: “Now she’s reunited with her husband, [Prince Philip].”

  via Getty Images  

During the same interview, the former actress went on to talk about herself too.

Meghan addressed some of the misconceptions surrounding her and said: “I think that what happens, looking in from the outside, when there is this much noise, is that you become dehumanized.

  via Getty Images  

“But if you remember that someone is a human being, then you don’t treat them, talk about them, look at them the same way.”

She said that she hoped her podcast Archetypes will make people realize she’s a real person.

  via Getty Images  

Meghan wants the public to see that she “laughs and asks questions and approaches things with curiosity.”

And her Archetypes podcast isn’t the only way she’s planning on speaking out about her feelings.

Meghan and Harry’s explosive Netflix docuseries is the latest thing to get everyone talking.

Following the Queen’s passing, it has been reported that the pair are having to rethink some of the comments they shared.

  via Shutterstock  

This struck many as a rather hypocritical move…

“What backtracking snakes those two are, they had a shock when they came over for the Queen’s funeral, ignored by most of the family, mostly ignored by the public, they are afraid they might lose their money-making titles, Charles please take the titles and succession away, we don’t want them here,” wrote one.

“His mother would be so disappointed in him!” added another.

  via Shutterstock  

Page Six revealed that the couple made a dramatic U-turn on the tone of their project.

“A lot of conversations are happening. I hear that Harry and Meghan want the series to be held until next year, they want to stall.

  via Shutterstock  

“I wonder if the show could even be dead in the water at this point, do Harry and Meghan just want to shelve this thing?” One Hollywood industry source told the media outlet.

Meghan also revealed that the new series “may not be the way we would have told it,” as it’s being told through someone else.

  via Getty Images  

It’s directed by Liz Garbus, and Meghan said of this: “It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story – a seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired – even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it.”

She added: “But that’s not why we’re telling it.

  via Getty Images  

“We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens.”

The trailer of the documentary dropped first.

  via Getty Images  

Harry & Meghan air’s across 6 episodes and shows many of their major life events over the past few years.

“Why did you want to make this documentary?” the couple is asked in the promo.

  via Getty Images  

“No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors,” Harry says. “I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”

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

  via Getty Images  

Harry can also be heard saying that multiple stories about Meghan in the press were fabricated.

“There’s a hierarchy of the family,” he said. “You know, there’s leaking, but there’s also planting of stories.”

  via Getty Images  

A journalist can then be heard saying: “There was a war against Meghan to suit other people’s agendas.”

Before someone else adds: “It’s about hatred, it’s about race.” 

  via Getty Images  

“The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution, this feeding frenzy,” Harry also said in the latest trailer.

The description reads: “Across six episodes, the series explores the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution.

  via Shutterstock  

“With commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family’s relationship with the press.

“The series does more than illuminate one couple’s love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other.”

  via Getty Images  

And now the highly anticipated docuseries has finally dropped.

And in episode 2, Harry appears to criticize King Charles’ parenting style.

  via Getty Images  

“I think it’s such a responsibility as human beings that if you bring a small person into this world, you should be doing anything you can to make the world a better place for them,” he says.

“But equally what’s most important for the two of us is to make sure that we don’t repeat the same mistakes that perhaps our parents made.”

  via Shutterstock  

But that’s not the only thing he’s said that’s got people talking.

In one episode of their series, he opened up about his biggest mistake.

  via Getty Images  

On Halloween 2004, Harry controversially dressed up as a N*zi soldier – something he is now ashamed of.

“I felt so ashamed afterward,” Harry said. “All I wanted to do was make it right.”

  via Getty  

“I sat down and spoke to the chief rabbi in London, which had a profound impact on me,” he continued. 

“I went to Berlin and spoke to a Holocaust survivor.

  via Getty Images  

“I could’ve just ignored it and probably made the same mistakes over and over again in my life, but I learned from that,” he concluded.

But the latest episode of their docuseries has gotten people talking.

  via Getty Images  

Harry recalled the “terrifying” moment his brother, William, “screamed and shouted at him.”

Harry said in the documentary: “It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father say things that just simply weren’t true.”

  via Getty Images  

He further added that his “grandmother, you know, quietly sit there, and sort of take it all in.”

Following Harry’s claims…

  via Getty Images  

He released a never-before-seen picture of him and William.

During one episode of the documentary, Harry and Meghan were shown looking through a scrapbook while reflecting on the time the couple spent at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.

  via Getty Images  

According to OK, Meghan said: “We were going through so many boxes just literally looking at everything going, ‘Oh my gosh, you bought this blanket I missed, that hat was so funny’, just taking it all in.

“It really gave us a chance to look back at our whole love story.”

While looking through the scrapbook, some images were shown.

  via Getty Images  

And among those were pictures of Harry and William.

The outlet reports that a collage of pictures from when William and Harry were younger when shown.

  via Getty Images  

The pictures showed the pair with smiles on their faces from a family holiday.

Other images in the scrapbook include Harry and William posing on a beach and using binoculars.

  via Getty Images  

Harry then shocked the world with another revelation about his relationship with his brother.

He revealed that during a disagreement about Harry’s relationship with Meghan, things got physical between the brothers.

  via Getty Images  

According to the Guardian, in an extract from his book, Spare, Harry writes: “He called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.”

“I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me.”

  via Getty Images  

“I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”

Harry then claimed William asked him not to tell Meghan about the fight.

  via Getty Images  

“You mean that you attacked me?” Harry asked.
William responded: “I didn’t attack you, Harold.”

Harry also claimed Meghan noticed the “scrapes and bruises” on his back.

  via Getty Images  

And that’s not all.

Harry also took a swipe at his father, King Charles, in the book, the outlet reports.

  via Getty Images  

Yahoo reports that Harry was not keen on his father marrying Camilla!

“I remember wondering… if she would be cruel to me; if she would be like all the wicked stepmothers in the stories,” he writes, the outlet reports.

  via Getty Images  

“Willy had been suspicious of the Other Woman for a long time, which confused and tormented him.”

“When those suspicions were confirmed, he felt agonizing remorse for not having done or said anything before.”

  via Getty Image  

Harry also claims he “begged” Charles not to remarry.

Harry also opened up about his army service in Afghanistan between 2007-8 and again in 2012.

  via Getty Images  

More specifically, he revealed the number of people he killed.

The Daily Mail reports that Harry writes: “It seemed to me essential not to be afraid of that number.”

  via Getty Images  

“So my number is 25. It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me.”

“You can’t kill people if you see them as people,” Harry goes on.

  via Getty  

Saying instead that he saw them as “chess pieces removed from the board,” or “bad guys eliminated.”

Since then, senior Taliban leader Anas Haqqani has taken to Twitter in response.

  via Getty  

He wrote: “Mr. Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return.

“Among the killers of Afghans, not many have your decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes.

  via Getty Images  

“The truth is what you’ve said; Our innocent people were chess pieces to your soldiers, military and political leaders. Still, you were defeated in that game of white & black square.

“I don’t expect that the ICC will summon you or the human rights activists will condemn you, because they are deaf and blind for you. But hopefully these atrocities will be remembered in the history of humanity.”

  via : Getty Images  

But Harry’s shocking admission isn’t the only thing on people’s minds.

He recently opened up once again during his ITV interview on Sunday night.

  via Getty Images  

But it seems people struggled to concentrate on what Harry had to say.

Viewers took to social media to comment on something that caught their eye in the background.

  via Getty Images  

Harry sat down with Tom Bradby ahead of his book release, in the interview, he denied calling his family racist, and instead said they were guilty of “unconscious bias.”

He also mentioned how William and Kate didn’t get on with Meghan from the beginning for “lots of different reasons.”

  via Getty  

Afterward, people flooded Twitter with clips of the interview, pointing out something pretty bizarre that caught their attention.

“Just starting #HarryTheInterview and before its actually started I’m already annoyed…… the door handles are upside down,” one person tweeted.

  via Getty  

Another added: “Oh yeah!! Well spotted (it’s annoying me now….).”

“#HarryTheInterview the thing from this interview that is really making my blood boil. Who put the doors handles on upside down!! Just can’t concentrate on anything else!” a third wrote.

  via Getty Images  

In addition to his remarks about his family, Harry opened up about the hatred he felt towards his stepmother in his recent 60 Minute interview.

He described Camilla Parker Bowles as the “villain” and “the third person in their marriage,” when discussing her involvement with his father.

  via Getty Images  

Camilla famously became the other woman in King Charles and Diana’s relationship.

“She needed to rehabilitate her image,” Harry said about the Queen Consort after Charles divorced his mother.

  via Getty Images  

Harry explained to Anderson Cooper that he found Camilla threatening “because of the connections that she was forging within the British press.”

He added: “And there was open willingness on both sides to trade of information.

  via Getty Images  

“And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her, on the way to being Queen consort, there was gonna be people or bodies left in the street because of that.”

Harry revealed in his book that he, along with Prince William, pleaded with Charles not to remarry.

  via Getty Image  

“We didn’t think it was necessary,” Harry said. “We thought that it was gonna cause more harm than good and that if he was now with his person, that — surely that’s enough. Why go that far when you don’t necessarily need to?”

They later agreed to the union for their father’s sake.

  via Getty Images  

But Harry’s recent comments aren’t the only thing concerning royal fans.

Harry and Meghan were then parodied on South Park.

  via Getty Images  

The depiction saw the two on a “World Privacy Tour.”

Markle was also introduced as a “sorority girl, actress, influencer, victim.”

  via Getty Image  

And it seems this has touched a nerve with Markle.

A source told The Spectator that the Duchess of Sussex is “annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it all.”

  via Getty Images  

Adding that she is “upset and overwhelmed.”

  via Getty Images  

“Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister.”

However, a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan then responded to the rumors.

  via Getty  

Telling People that “it’s all frankly nonsense. Totally baseless, boring reports.”

But now, she has once again become the talk of the internet after she made her most recent appearance to share that she wouldn’t be attending King Charles’ coronation.

  via Getty Images  

Seemingly taking on the aesthetic of her sister in law, Kate Middleton.

In a video connection appearance at her photographer friend Misan Harriman’s TED Talk over the weekend, Markle revealed a sleek straightened haircut that sparked rumours on social media.

  via Getty Images  

“PLASTIC SURGERY ALERT? Sad Meghan Markle wants to be Kate Middleton so bad,” one Twitter user wrote, suggesting she has had work done.

“Omg. Meghan Markle, who is jealous and obsessed with the Princess of Wales, is wearing hazel contact lenses to look like Kate,” another added.

  via Getty  

“She looks like she’s trying to look like Kate … that won’t happen,” a third tweeted.

Others shared what they believe the Duchess has had done…

  via Getty Images  

“Facelift, filler dissolved in lips, buccal fat removal, more filler in cheeks, Botox, more subtle veneers, chin implant is my guess,” one speculated.

The Archewell camp insiders told The Post that Markle refuted the rumours regarding plastic surgery, but Markle’s representatives declined to comment on the fresh allegations.
