Royal Family news - Harry & Meghan 'DIDN'T ask Queen's permission for Lilibet's name but told her instead, insider says

THOMAS MARKLE ACCUSES PRINCE HARRY OF 'GHOSTING' CHARLES AND SAYS MEGHAN TREATS HIM 'WORSE THAN AXE MURDERER'

HARRY AND WILLIAM’S PEACE TALKS AT PHILIP FUNERAL WERE ‘DOOMED TO FAIL’ SAYS EXPERT

A royal source said at the time of the funeral: “It looked like a conciliatory move by William to wait for Harry and allow him to catch up and chat to him and Kate. That could be a significant moment.

“Harry appeared grateful for the opportunity, and Kate seemed to make a point of letting the brothers walk alone together, having briefly chatted to Harry as well.”

But Harry and William’s “peace talks” at their grandfather’s funeral were “doomed to fail” – because Harry had been plotting his new bombshell documentary the whole time, an expert claimed.

The Duke made a series of extraordinary new allegations in the programme The Me You Don’t See – including that father Charles left him to “suffer” amid “total neglect” for his mental health.

William, Harry and Kate were pictured walking together after the service, while it was understood Charles and Harry had also spoken privately.

A ‘CRISIS FOR ROYALS’ CLAIMS REPORT

“The Firm’s alleged unsupportive treatment of the Sussexes has only lurched the institution into existential crisis,” according to a Vanity Fair feature on the royals.

“The queen is a figurehead for an empire that refuses to understand that its days are gone,” said Kelechi Okafor, London-based host of the Say Your Mind pop culture podcast.

Okafor added: “Diana came along… and then Meghan Markle came along, and everything started to fall to pieces.

BEATRICE’S PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT ‘DELIBERATE TWO FINGERS’ AT HARRY AND MEGHAN, ROYAL EXPERT CLAIMS

Princess Beatrice has recently announced that she is expecting her first child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

However, royal fans may have noticed that the Duchess of York’s pregnancy news comes on the same day that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are celebrating their third wedding anniversary.

And according to royal expert and author Duncan Larcombe, this was no accident.

Speaking to Fabulous Digital, the writer said: “The fact it was Buckingham Palace that made the announcement proves this was not a simple oversight.

“A great deal of care is taken over the timings of major announcements such as Royal pregnancies, and it is extremely unlikely diary staff were unaware of the significance of the day for Harry and Meghan.

PIERS REVELATION

Piers later revealed: “We had two hours in the pub, she had a couple of dirty martinis and pints – we got on brilliantly.

“Then I put her in a cab, and it turns out it was the cab that took her to a party where she met Prince Harry.

“The next night they had a solo dinner and that was the last I ever heard from Meghan Markle. I never heard from her again – Meghan Markle ghosted me.”

Piers said he was “ditched like a sack of spuds!”
