There was a time when Meghan Markle and King Charles seemed to have a good relationship. Prince Harry’s father even stepped in and walked the duchess down the aisle the day she married his son. But after quitting royal duties and moving across the pond, the Sussexes publicly aired out their grievances with Harry’s relatives several times and their relationship with the royals quickly deteriorated.
Even though the couple took shots at the family in televised interviews, on podcasts, in a Netflix docuseries, and a tell-all book, there’s talk that Prince Harry could reconcile with the king. The same can’t be said for Meghan though. According to a royal commentator, a reconciliation with the Duchess of Sussex is not in the cards because of how “toxic” she is.

King Charles III recently returned to his public duties following a break from work while he received treatment for cancer. The monarch’s first engagement was on April 30, with his wife, Queen Camilla (formerly known as Camilla Parker Bowles), by his side. They visited a hospital and cancer treatment center, where the king showed support for those going through something similar to what he has gone through.
While some royal watchers observed the king looking upbeat as he waved to crowds gathered outside the medical center, others wondered if he returned to work too early. Here’s what Queen Camilla had to say about that.

Luca Guadagnino believes filmgoers will endorse his Zendaya movie Challengers because it delivers “a canon of Hollywood golden age comedy – seductive fun with queerness.” The movie’s “big sell” is a shot of Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor kissing one another in various configurations.
Challengers is establishing itself as a Gen Z “date movie,” with a 75% female audience, mostly under the age of 24. Its high-powered social media campaign triggered a $25 million opening weekend globally, defying the pre-summer box office torpor.
The movie has also been well received by Gen Z reviewers who are faithful to their lexicon of film criticism – male characters are approvingly deemed “heteroflexible,” females “polyamorous,” etc.
It was a surprise to his fans that Guadagnino, an Italian filmmaker, set out to make an American-set sports movie (he is not a sports fan) about a tennis world to which he was alien. As with his other films,...

Meghan Markle is reportedly “terrified” history will repeat itself with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. A commentator says the Duchess of Sussex, 42, is concerned she and Prince Harry’s children will “blame” her for not having a relationship with their royal cousins.
Meghan fears Archie and Lili will someday resent her for missing out on royal life
They might’ve been born into the British royal family, but Archie and Lilibet aren’t living the royal life. They don’t spend weekends in the English countryside, sit in the royal box at Wimbledon, or summer in Scotland. Instead, they’re growing up in Montecito, California.
According to Tom Quinn, a royal author and commentator, Meghan’s concerned Archie and Lilibet will someday blame her for not experiencing royal life.

King Charles III is set to resume public appearances for the first time after his cancer diagnosis and current medical treatment.
“His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Friday.
In February, the Palace first revealed a cancer diagnosis for the 75-year-old British monarch, without specifying the nature of his illness. That followed an earlier announcement that King Charles would undergo a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate.
King Charles isn’t expected to take on a full load of royal duties as his cancer treatment is ongoing. “To help mark this milestone, The King and Queen will make a joint visit to a cancer treatment centre next Tuesday, where they will meet medical specialists and patients. This visit will be the first in a number of external engagements...

She became a podcast host, but Spotify canceled Archetypes after one season and pulled its multi-million deal with the Sussexes. A company executive then publicly called her and Harry “F****** grifters.” Then, when reports circulated that Meghan could strike a deal with Dior to model for the luxury brand, a rep for the fashion house quickly debunked those rumors.

Dominic West has spoken out in support of his former co-star’s criticisms of The Affair.
British actor West, who got his big TV break as maverick policeman McNulty in The Wire and most recently starred as Prince Charles in the final two series of The Crown, filmed five seasons of the hit drama on Showtime, but his co-star Ruth Wilson was written out of the series after four.
In 2020, Wilson – who it is speculated signed an NDA on her departure – recalled that “things didn’t feel right” on the show, she didn’t always “feel safe” and raised the particular concern that, during the filming of sex scenes, the cameras always focused on her “orgasm face,” not that of male actors’.
