Meghan Markle suffers major trademark setback as details of Prince Harry’s secret UK stay emerge – Royal family news

A former royal aide has claimed that if the Duke of Sussex wants privacy, he should “drop out of public life and keep his mouth shut”.

This comes after Harry, who turns 40 this month, said that press intrusion and a desire to live a more independent life were behind his decision to step down as a working royal in 2020.

Patrick Jephson, who formerly worked for Princess Diana, told Grazia magazine that the duke should get a normal job and stop appearing at high-profile events.

Kinsey Schofield made the comments amid claims that Prince Harry misses his old life in the UK and would consider a “part-time” role in the royal family if asked by King Charles.

“He’s doing it because Americans did not welcome them in the way that they initially thought they would,” she said, as reported by the Express.

“I think they’ve made a lot of missteps over the last few years, and they’re not having the life that they thought they were going to.

“I don’t think the ‘American Dream’ has come to fruition for them the way that they thought it would and Prince Harry 1725596892 realises that he was a valuable asset as a member of the Royal Family and that really gave him purpose.”

Cited problems include the monarch’s decision to remove the security he was privately funding for Prince Andrew at the Royal Lodge.

A source told Woman’s Day magazine: “Charles does look at the current state of his family with deep concern. Everyone, it seems, has issues, whether it be health, financial, [or] legal.

“This situation with Andrew and the Royal Lodge has somewhat divided the family… with Anne, Sophie, and Edward all disappointed in how he’s handled it.

“Then there’s the diabolical situation with his two beloved sons.

“There are fallouts with Sarah, Beatrice, and Eugenie, who are deeply concerned Andrew is not being protected.”

The exhibition, which features works in several mediums, is designed to provide viewers with new perspectives on homelessness.

A representative for its publisher Penguin Random House said that “the contents of the book are unchanged”.

However, the insiders told The Express that the book’s release in October will “inevitably re-open old wounds” as the book contains several bombshell accusations.

This includes the claim that Prince William physically attacked Harry when they got into an argument over Meghan Markle.

Queen Camilla yesterday celebrated the 70th anniversary of Book Aid following her return to duty after the royal summer break.

The royal family wrote on their official Twitter/X account: “The Queen, as Patron of @book_aid, hosted a Reception yesterday to celebrate the charity’s 70th anniversary.

“The charity works in over 35 countries providing books, setting up libraries and sharing the joy of reading.

“Her Majesty has been Patron of Book Aid International since 2022. The Late Duke of Edinburgh was Patron from 1966 until his death in 2021.”

This comes amid widespread reports that the Duke of Sussex misses his old life in the UK and would consider a “part-time” return to duty if asked by King Charles.

The former cabinet minister said: “I think it will be difficult. The real difficulty is that anything that anyone has said to Prince Harry appeared in a book.

“It is very hard to rebuild that trust.”

As reported by the Express, he added: “I just wonder what the British people will think in ten years’ time, if no mercy is shown?

“So, I think there may be a way back for him in due course and that a very hard-nosed Royal Family may find that doesn’t maintain popular support.

“But he’s got to come back in a very measured way that means that when they have lunch with him, they are only talking about the front page of the Daily Mail, rather than their inner-most secrets because they don’t want it to appear in a book.”

Located in London’s Saatchi Gallery, Homelessness: Reframed, as its title suggests, is designed to provide new perspectives on the issues and features artworks from those with lived experience.

Mick Clarke, chief executive of homelessness charity, The Passage, said: “What I love about the Reframed exhibition is this gives an opportunity again to put a spotlight on how we’ve got to get homelessness away from something society thinks is inevitable and something that we manage, to something that can be prevented from happening.”

Following the news that Prince Harry and William kept their distance at their uncle’s funeral, it has been claimed that the Princess of Wales has “banned” anything to do with the Sussexes.

Insiders told Heat magazine that the relationship between the brothers is “worse than ever” and Kate has put a “self-imposed ban on anything Meghan and Harry related” as she focuses on her family and health.

Harry and William’s uncle Lord Robert Fellowes passed away last month at the age of 82.
