Meghan Markle latest news – 'Prince William will NEVER forgive Duchess and was furious at her antics even before Oprah'
PRINCE Harry and Meghan may be sensationally "ditched" from the Royal Family during a streamlining of the Monarchy, says an expert.
Renowned royal biographer Angela Levin claims the Prince of Wales is poised to "cut the monarchy down" in the future to save cash.
Ms Levin told talkRADIO: "Prince Charles has wanted for a very long time to cut the monarchy down to save costs and to make people be worth the money that they got from the taxpayer.
"I imagine that might be when Harry and Meghan are ditched from being members of the Royal family.
"I think the outer edge, which the Queen has wanted to keep together for a very long time for sentimental reasons, which at her age she didn't really particularly want change which I think is understandable.
"But he wants to change and I think he will do that."
The claims come after another expert said Harry will struggle to "heal the wounds" with his family as Charles and William fear any conversations they have with him will "immediately leak".

WILLIAM ‘UNLIKELY TO FORGIVE MEGHAN’…MORE
Royal commentator Dan Wootton adds that Palace officials are still unsure about how to "bridge the gap between Prince William and Meghan".
He adds in his Mail Online column that Prince William 'had doubts' about the speed of Harry's relationship with Meghan 'from the start'.
Dan quotes a senior royal source as saying: "William soon began to wonder about some of Meghan's traits and motivations.
"He was worried that at times she seemed to be more concerned about her personal progression or profile over the wider goals and aims of the Royal Family."
However, William sought to keep the peace, until Megxit was sprung upon Harry's unsuspecting family,and the duke "could no longer hide his true feelings because he felt like she had publicly attempted to disrespect his family and the Queen", the source added.

WILLIAM 'UNLIKELY TO FORGIVE MEGHAN'
The Duke of Cambridge is "unlikely to forgive" Meghan Markle after she deliberately hurt his "deeply sensitive" wife in her anti-Royal family rant to Oprah Winfrey, says a commentator.
Dan Wootton writes on Mail Online that while Kate appeared to 'publicly forgive Prince Harry' after Prince Philip's funeral, her husband is still fuming about Meghan's negativity.
A senior royal insider told Dan that while there have been many headlines over the "troubles between Kate and Meghan, and William and Harry, perhaps the biggest strains now exist between William and Meghan.
"First and foremost, William cannot countenance the way Meghan has treated his wife. He feels Kate tried at the beginning, but it was never enough.
"To name Kate so publicly during the Oprah interview as the person who made her cry was beyond the pale. Meghan would have been acutely aware that Kate is powerless to fight back."

PRINCE HARRY WON’T ENJOY ‘FAKE LA FOR LONG’… MORE FROM CAPRICE
Prince Harry is unlikely to fully settle into 'fake, crazy Los Angeles" says Caprice.
The supermodel and businesswoman, 49, writes in Closer magazine: “I grew up in LA and spent most of my twenties there, before moving to London, where I’ve now lived for more than 20 years.
"And the two places are so culturally different, it’s crazy. On the surface, LA seems amazing, with the gorgeous weather and incredible amenities.
"But it’s a fake, concentrated world. The best example to use is friendships – every friendship is surface value in LA.
"You meet someone, and you’re ‘best friends’. But it’s all for show and it’s social climbing. Harry won’t be used to that, because in the UK, I’ve made real friendships. From my experience, people here are more real and loyal."
Caprice Bourret warns Harry that he'll struggle to fit in, in LA

ROYAL EXPERT SAYS MEG & HARRY ARE ‘DESPERATE TO STAY RELEVANT’
Meghan and Harry are “desperate to stay relevant”, according to one royal expert.
Russell Myers told talkRADIO: “For a couple that left for privacy, there is an extraordinary amount of stories surrounding their lives that do get leaked out. These find their way into the British press.
“We understand that they’ve got a few friendly journalists that they deal with.They’ve cut out some of the press that they said they weren’t happy with their coverage.
“It’s a very Hollywood way of doing things and that has been an issue for both Harry and Meghan. Getting the friendly press to just write about how amazing you are all the time doesn’t really work.
“It’s a strange one because while they say they moved away for privacy, didn’t want to have anything to do with the British press. People are still talking about and my guess is they still want to be talked about because whilst signing big money deals, they’ve got to stay relevant.”

PRINCE HARRY WON'T ENJOY 'FAKE LA FOR LONG' SAYS CAPRICE
The Duke of Sussex "won't be able to handle Meghan's fake Los Angeles world for long", warns supermodel and businesswoman Caprice.
She commented in Closer Magazine about Meghan and Harry living in LA: "Harry and Meghan may be loving it now – for Harry, it’s new, fresh, exciting and for her it was already ‘home’.
"But I think he’ll start to see LA for what it is and learn what it’s really about. I don’t think he’ll be able to handle Meghan’s fake LA world for long.
"All my British friends who have moved there have loved it at first, but been back in the UK within a couple of years. I think the trip back to the UK will have made him miss home.”

NO ROYAL CRUNCH TALKS DUE TO CONSTANT LEAKS
Crunch talks between Prince Harry and senior royals have been put on hold because of constant leaks “from the Sussex side”.
The Sun revealed no “meaningful conversations” have taken place since the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.
Sources say aides still harbour deep misgivings about any future clear-the-air discussions with Harry. They point to a flurry of articles in the US within hours of his return to California.

HARRY WILL STRUGGLE 'TO HEAL THE WOUNDS' WITH HIS FAMILY, SAYS COMMENTATOR
Another expert said Harry will struggle to "heal the wounds" with his family as Charles and William fear any conversations they have with him will "immediately leak".
Royal commentator Phil Dampier said it will be difficult for Harry's loved ones to speak openly to him after details of private conversations were leaked.
It's understood William and Charles chose to speak to the Duke of Sussex together after Philip's funeral over concerns the chat could be "misconstrued".
And Mr Dampier said: "One of Charles and Williams’ big fears is that whatever discussions they have with Harry are immediately leaked. They will be worried that if they get into any great detail, the next thing they know it will be out in the public domain, which makes it extremely difficult to heal the wounds long-term."
Harry did spend time with his father and brother following Philip's funeral service. However, it's claimed little progress was made, and relations remain icy.

HARRY HAS 'LOST TRUST OF FAMILY' – EXPERT
It is "completely understandable that Prince Charles did not feel comfortable to meet alone with his son Harry before he departed for the US," says a relationship expert.
Tina Wilson, founder of the Wingman app, commented exclusively to the Sun Online following reports that the Duke of Sussex spoke to his dad and Prince William immediately after the funeral of Prince Philip, but he failed to repair their fractured relationship.
She said that after Harry publicly shamed the royal family during his and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey, "it’s testament to both William and Charles’ good character for actually meeting up with him.
"Many would cut ties over much smaller tiffs.
"Needing a 'witness' between father and son is a key sign that Harry went too far and has lost the trust of his family.
"Considering that this could all have been avoided is even more the pity.

SUSSEXES NEED TO UP THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA GAME – ROYAL EXPERT
The Duchess of Cambridge "is simply nailing the social media game right now", says a Royal commentator.
Writing for News.com.au, Daniela Elser adds that while the "royal news over the last year has nearly been wholly consumed by the ongoing Sussex melodrama… Kate has been revolutionising the royal social media game."
Elser explains that the down-to-earth mum has been sharing "homespun videos" along with a birthday pic of William "with his three children gloriously piled on top of him in their Norfolk garden" and "a totally mold-breaking image of William with his arm around his father Prince Charles’ shoulder".
All of these pics were snapped by Kate as she and William are aware they "need to open themselves up to the public".
"This stands in stark contrast to the Harry and Meghan who lost their hugely successful @SussexRoyal Instagram account when they quit official palace life last year and have not subsequently debuted any sort of social media presence," Elser adds.

FROZEN OUT – PRINCE HARRY MAY CANCEL DIANA STATUE UNVEILING TRIP AFTER FROSTY RECEPTION AT FUNERAL
Prince Harry may abandon a planned return to the UK this summer – after he was "shocked" by the frosty reception he received at Prince Philip's funeral.
Royal expert Russell Myers claimed the Duke may make an "excuse" not to return for the unveiling of a statue dedicated to his late mother.
He said that Harry was stunned by the "very, very cold reception" he received from the Royal family when he flew back from LA for his grandfather's funeral earlier this month.
Speaking to talkRADIO, the expert added: "Some quarters of the family did give him a frosty reception and perhaps that did shock him somewhat."
And he claimed the Duke may use the birth of his second child, a daughter due within weeks, as a "convenient excuse" not to "face the family".

OPRAH REFUSES TO REMOVE 'FAKED' MEGHAN MARKLE MEDIA HEADLINES
Oprah Winfrey’s production company has defended its "controversial montage of headlines used in her Oprah with Meghan and Harry" show, reports the Press Gazette.
The website, which "reports on British journalism without fear or favour", explained: "Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail Online, believes the Meghan Markle headlines used to demonstrate UK press racism in the interview were misleading.
"British broadcaster ITV removed five headlines from its version of the interview after these concerns were raised.
"Associated Newspapers has sent legal letters to both CBS and Winfrey’s Harpo Productions demanding that they follow ITV in amending the montage. The letter set out three instances of Harpo 'fake editing' Daily Mail headlines, and nine examples in which foreign publication headlines were 'masquerading' as British press headlines.
"But Harpo’s legal representative has now responded by making clear the production company does not intend to amend the headlines montage."

MEGHAN ‘UNLIKELY TO EVER RETURN TO THE UK BECAUSE OF ANXIETY’ – MINDFULNESS EXPERT…MORE
LA seems to be Meghan Markle's "happy place" adds celebrity mindfulness and hypnotherapist expert Aaron Surtees.
He said today: "She will want Archie to grow up in a happy and content environment where he does not sense his mother’s anxiousness.

"Everything from public speaking training to confidence."
Surtees reckons it's "unlikely" the duchess will return to the UK "as it is a trigger for her anxiety".

MEGHAN 'UNLIKELY TO EVER RETURN TO UK BECAUSE OF ANXIETY' – MINDFULNESS EXPERT
Meghan Markle "will unlikely ever return to the UK as it is a trigger for her anxiety and mental health," predicts a celebrity mindfulness and hypnotherapist expert.
Aaron Surtees exclusively told the Sun Online: "The Duchess was reported to have left England where she used to suffer from bad panic attacks and stress.
"Hypnotherapy is very similar to meditation, which Meghan Markle is a huge fan of. And using powerful visualisation techniques and mindset shifts that become naturally ingrained subconsciously, the Duchess will have reduced her stress and anxiety levels significantly."
He added: "Mindful meditation will have helped Meghan identify and understand her emotional triggers. To keep her mental health in check, she will practice these powerful techniques daily. It has been reported she does this twice a day for 20 minutes at a time.
"Meghan is therefore unlikely to want to revisit those negative emotions and particularly as she has physically moved away from her triggers. We train our clients to stay away from their triggers as it will just heighten their anxiety."

The Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex never became close as Kate found the ex-actress "intimidating", according to a source.
A palace insider told The Telegraph's Camilla Tominey: “They were not only very different women with very different personalities but very different women who came from very different places.
“Kate spent 10 years as a girlfriend learning the ropes.
"Everything happened much more quickly with Harry and Meghan, who entered the royal scene with her own, fully formed ideas. I think Kate found her quite intimidating.”

SUSSEXES' 'CALCULATED DAMAGE' TO ROYALS HITS THE QUEEN MOST
Apart from the year of Prince Philip's death, 2021 will be "remembered for the the calculated damage caused to the Royal family by Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey," laments an insider.
Patrick Jephson, who was equerry and private secretary to the Princess of Wales from 1988-96, writes in the Daily Mail that the "Sussex experiment is reaching new heights (or depths) of divisive controversy.
"Just when the Queen should have been enjoying a well-earned eventide of family tranquillity and public esteem, secure in universal affection and international respect, the golden twilight has turned chilly and sad."

The Duke of Sussex is said to have had lunch with the 81-year-old heiress and philanthropist at the exclusive San Vicente Bungalows – 24 hours after returning to LA to be with pregnant wife Meghan and son Archie.

Harry has previously spoken out about the 'humanitarian crisis' around climate change despite criticism of his own jet-setting lifestyle.

KATE, WILLIAM AND HARRY 'ONCE INCREDIBLY CLOSE'
Princes William and Harry, along with the Duchess of Cambridge, were once "incredibly close" say royal writers Richard Kay and Geoffrey Levy.
"But the girl Harry ultimately brought home could not have been less like his sister-in-law – public where Kate was private, confident where the duchess was retiring," says the Daily Mail's commemorative feature on Kate and William's 10th wedding anniversary.
It adds: "All the same, Meghan Markle's arrival was a glittering addition to the royal story, with all eyes on this glamorous 'Fab Four'. That it all fell apart so swiftly remains a matter of profound sadness.
"For, as long as the Sussexes remain in exile in the US, their son Archie and his yet-to-be-born sister will know next to nothing of their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis.
"How unlike Harry and William's own childhood experience, when they were brought up close not only to both their aunt Anne and uncle Andrew's children, but also to their Spencer cousins."

WILLIAM AND KATE TO UNVEIL PRINCESS DI STATUE 'WITHOUT HARRY' – ROYAL EXPERT
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge may have to unveil Princess Diana's statue by themselves – without Prince Harry – if Meghan Markle gives birth close to the summer event, says a Royal expert.
The big unveiling is set to take place on July 1, to coincide with what would have been Princess Diana's 60th birthday, in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace, London.
But, on ITV's Lorraine show, royal editor Russell Myers said: “We may just be seeing William and Kate unveiling that statue.
“I’m sure it will be a big shame, and everyone at the Palace will want them to be [at the unveiling]."
Lorraine pointed out, “the thing is he doesn’t want to miss the birth of his baby girl. That’s the most important thing ever.”

PRINCE HARRY 'COULD FLY TO THE UK ON PRIVATE JET FOR PRINCESS DIANA STATUE UNVEILING' – ROYAL EXPERT
The Duke of Sussex could make a quick private jet getaway to the UK for the unveiling of the Princess Diana statue, says a royal expert.
On ITV's Lorraine show this morning, Royal editor Russell Myers said that "obviously he can jump on the private jet any time he wants and fly over, and I’m sure he will want to make every effort to get here."
Lorraine told Russell: “Prince Harry is back in the news this morning, with reports that he faced a frosty reception from his family at Prince Philip’s funeral. No surprises there."
She added: “Everybody was looking forward to the fact that in the summer, there’s going to be this tribute to Princess Diana, her two sons would be there, and that would really help build those bridges, but probably not?" Russell replied: "Well, it’s the million-dollar question isn’t it. Will he or won’t he [return]?"
Lorraine also said that like other royal fans, she would have loved to have known what Anne, Princess Royal, "had to say" to her nephew at the service in the wake of the explosive Oprah Winfrey interview.
