Sophie’s choice? How Meghan was left shaken by this car ride: royal expert

LONDON, England – Prince Harry faces a life of permanent "exile" with King Charles III plotting to follow the playbook drawn up by the royals when they overcame the crisis triggered by Edward VIII, the king who abdicated in 1936 and was obliged to live the rest of his life outside the U.K.  That's what the headlines in the gossip columns say about the recent return of Harry and Meghan to the U.K., but the truth is much different.  Let me explain. The Royal family evolves and divides after each reign with no one safe from exclusion.

As Meghan Markle is being criticized for the way she treated the royal staff in a new bombshell book, experts pointed out that the difference between her and Princess Diana’s behavior towards members at the Kensington Palace are "stark." "Diana would pop over to staff’s homes for tea. Arriving with gifts...[and was] described as ‘kind’ to staff," Kinsey Schofield, royal expert and host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast, told Fox News Digital.

“peace deal” with the royal family.“CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King, who is Meghan’s friend, said the relationship with the Sussexes and the royal family is still tenuous — largely due to the couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah in 2021 after they made the decision to step down from their royal duties.King — who became friends with Meghan after being introduced by Oprah — was in London reporting on Queen Elizabeth’s historic funeral, revealing to “Extra” that there have been efforts on “both sides to, sort of, make this right. We shall see.”“Big families always go through drama, always go through turmoil,” she said in the “Extra” interview.

Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle were "very well protected" during a time of great loss – but the Duke of Sussex may still take the British government to court over his security arrangements in the U.K. Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, died Sept. 8 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex, are expected to leave the UK “as soon as they can” in order to return to their two children, Archie and Lilibet, after almost three weeks away from them. The Sussexes were reported at the weekend to be planning on flying home as soon as they were able, but as of Tuesday morning, they were still in the UK, having stayed at Windsor following The Queen ’s funeral, a source told the Times.

LONDON – When Prince Charles became King Charles III and met our newly installed British Prime Minster Liz Truss, he famously said on camera, "We have all been dreading this," and he spoke for the world. I mean, can anyone imagine a world without our dear late Queen Elizabeth? And yet now we have to.This is the new era of King Charles III; and what now after such a moving and magnificent funeral of the queen? Here in London covering this historic event is something I will never ever forget, simply because we are all now living in pure history, and because of that, you notice things you may have not before.

Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral will take place on Monday 19 September in London before her body is later laid to rest in Windsor. The United Kingdom’s longest reigning monarch will have a state funeral on the day which was deemed a Bank Holiday by her son, King Charles III. Following the funeral, the Queen’s body will be taken to Windsor Castle for a committal service before she is laid to rest at St George’s Chapel.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sat behind the King and Queen Consort during the funeral service of the late Queen Elizabeth II, putting them front and centre for the Royal event. This seating arrangement is being said to reflect that the couple may be back in the heart of the Royal family.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, was seen looking isolated in his grief as he was left out of the Royal salute behind the Queen's coffin. Prince Harry followed the coffin of his grandmother the Queen as it was carried in a procession from New Palace Yard towards Westminster Abbey on the State Gun Carriage before her state funeral. Harry joined his father King Charles and other members of the royal family on foot, including his brother William, Prince of Wales and Andrew, Duke of York.The King and other royals, including the Princess Royal, the Prince of Wales and the Earl of Wessex were all wearing military uniform.

The Queen’s eldest granddaughter, Zara Tindall, has continued to stand as a pillar of support for her cousin Prince Harry as the two departed a vigil for the late monarch in the same car on Saturday night. Both the Duke of Sussex, 38, and Zara, 41, took part in a special ceremonial vigil at Westminster Hall on Saturday evening, in which all eight of the Queen’s grandchildren had come together to form an honour guard around her coffin for around 15 minutes.

When King Charles addressed the nation for the first time as our new monarch, he made it clear that his reign will be one of openness and love – and one where his Queen Consort, Camilla, will be by his side. “This is also a time of change for my family.

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton were not present as their husbands took their places in a vigil for the Queen on Saturday 17 September. Meghan, 41, and Kate, 40, were not at Westminster Hall as Prince Harry and Prince William took their places alongside the late monarch's other grandchildren to pay their respects.

Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth II’s only daughter, has been deemed the hardest working royal while simultaneously staying out of the public eye over the years, according to one royal expert.  The values of keeping her personal life to herself trickled down to how she even chose to raise her two children, whom she opted to not give royal titles to. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliam told Fox News Digital that Anne, 72, does not like the royal spotlight, and it's why she has kept her life private over the years.

The royal family gathered to show their respect for the late Queen Elizabeth II at a service at Westminster Hall to commence the lying in state, which precedes the Queen's state funeral on 19 September. Before departing from the service, the Duchess of Sussex was seen taking a deep curtsy before her grandmother-in-law’s coffin. Traditionally, women in the royal family curtsy if they're seeing the monarch for the first time that day, while men usually greet the monarch with a head bow.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "broke rank" with an emotional gesture during royal proceedings yesterday, a body language expert has claimed.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took part in the ceremony as they followed the Queen's coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall separately on Wednesday afternoon and later held hands in the hall. Harry walked alongside his brother, the new Prince of Wales, and other senior royals as they paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

Meghan Markle and Sophie Wessex looked united in grief yesterday as they made their way to Westminster Hall together as part of the procession of the Queen’s coffin from Buckingham Palace. As Camilla, Queen Consort, and Kate Middleton made their way to the ceremony, 41 year old Meghan and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, 57, could be seen following the duo in a separate car. And while Meghan and Sophie are rarely seen alone together, the pair share many similarities, including the fact that they both married into the royal family.

Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been thrown back into Royal life in London.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have remained in the UK after the Queen, Harry's grandmother, died on Thursday 8 September at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Meghan, 41, and Harry, 37, were already in the UK when Her Majesty was placed under medical supervision, as they'd flown over from the US to attend charity events in Manchester and London a few days prior.
