Meghan accused of portraying sister as ‘lying, racist, fame-seeker’ in lawsuit – live

Following increased speculation that Meghan Markle could publicly support Kamala Harris in the upcoming American election, a message from the politician to the royal has resurfaced.

Harris retweeted a clip of the Suits star discussing the impact negative press coverage had on her while pregnant with her first child, Prince Archie.

When asked if she was okay by a journalist, Meghan said: “Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable.

“Also thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I’m okay.”

Reacting to the clip in 2019, Harris wrote: “This is incredibly important. We must remember that it’s a sign of strength to show emotion.”

“Meghan, we are with you.”

This comes after the former president said that he would treat the Duke of Sussex like any other citizen if it emerges that he has lied on his visa application, should he be re-elected in November.

Harry’s application is currently under review following revelations about his prior drug use in his 2023 memoir Spare.

“What I can tell you is, my father had so much respect for the Queen, as did I,” he said.

“My mum knew so many of them for years and had a great relationship with Diana.

“It’s a sacred institution. You can happily have those two [Meghan and Harry], we might not want them anymore, it feels like they’re on an island of their own.

“You can always have bad actors in everything. You can have spoiled apples in every orchard.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, recently told ITV’s Tabloids on Trial that he believes his mother was one of the first victims of phone hacking in the nineties.

This comes amid Harry’s own battle to get justice from the tabloid press for intrusive methods used to obtain stories about him.

“William is spitting mad that Harry would reference this again,” an insider told New Idea magazine.

“He’s so fed up with [the Sussexes] cashing in on Diana’s death.”

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! magazine: “I think we can expect Sophie to keep up or even increase her workload as the key member of the royal family she now is.

“She has really come into her own in recent years and is now rightly getting the recognition she deserves.”

Royal author Angela Levin slammed the couple’s decision to visit Colombia after Harry deemed the UK, in particular, too dangerous for Meghan to visit.

He said he fears an acid or knife attack inspired by negative tabloid stories.

“It is dangerous there [Colombia] at the moment,” Levin said. “There are a lot of people being taken away and money being demanded for them to be returned.

“It is really ridiculous.”

A spokesperson for the Sussexes told The Independent that they will have full security on their visit.

The visit is reported to “illuminate Colombia’s role as a beacon of culture and innovation”.

The couple are supporting a new initiative for parents whose children have taken their own lives after being harmed online.

“Our kids are young, they are three and five, they’re amazing, but all you want to do as parents is protect them,” Meghan, who turned 43 on Sunday, said.

“And so, as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know that there’s a lot of work to be done there and we’re just happy to be able to be a part of change for good.”

Following the claim that King Charles is ignoring phone calls from Prince Harry, a royal expert has shed light on the Duke of Sussex’s “cardinal sin”.

He explained that Harry’s biggest mistake, in his father’s eyes, was describing Queen Camilla as a “villain” in his 2023 memoir Spare.

Royal author Christopher Andersen told Fox News Digital: “When Harry branded his stepmother Camilla a ‘villain’ in his book and revealed that both he and William initially begged their father not to marry her, Harry committed what Charles regards as a cardinal sin.

“No one disses Camilla in royal circles and gets away with it – not even a son of the king.”

Harry has not seen his father since the announcement of his cancer diagnosis in February.

Despite posting celebratory pictures for the likes of the Wales children, the Duchess of Sussex’s 43rd birthday was not publicly marked.

“It’s quite hard to pin them down in terms of what they do because they’re not working royals anymore,” royal expert Katie Nicholls told Vanity Fair’s Dynasty podcast.

“They’re so much more than just celebrities. Clearly, philanthropy is this umbrella under which they want to exist, but then you get American Riviera Orchard thrown into all of that, which sort of then slightly throws a question mark over what they’re doing.”

This comes after the couple recently lent their support to a new initiative that helps parents who have lost children to online bullying.

While the Duchess of Sussex has pledged her commitment to her charitable work, it has been speculated that her main concerns are financial.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! magazine: “I suspect that Meghan is a commercial woman with philanthropic ideas aplenty… but her driving force is to capitalise on her fame and ensure she and Harry have enough money for all their needs.

“I’m not quite convinced that she is totally signed up to a ‘life of service’ so I imagine there will be occasional forays into charity work and makeshift royal tours but I think she is a businesswoman at heart. And, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that!”
