Queen's brutal response to palace chefs after finding slug in her dinner

Meghan Markle's pal Omid Scobie has hit out at palace aides who queried the Duchess' account of a 2019 fire in Prince Archie's nursery - which she says left her "shaken" and "in tears". Anonymous palace aides today accused Meghan of exaggerating the incident, which she recounted for the first time in her new podcast this week.

Meghan Markle’s friend and royal biographer Omid Scobie says that aides are “not keeping clam or carrying on” after the debut of her new podcast, Archetypes. Admitting Buckingham Palace are “worried”, Omid said in his Yahoo! column: “I’m told Buckingham Palace aides were most definitely not keeping calm, nor carrying on after the show’s premiere on Tuesday, worried about what else might be shared over the next 12 weeks.” The first episode of the podcast, which is in partnership with Spotify, saw Meghan share the shocking story of a time when son Archie's nursery room caught fire.

It’s been 25 years since Princess Diana's death, and as we approach the anniversary of her fatal car crash in the Pont de L’Alma in Paris, her former bodyguard Ken Wharfe has told us how he describes her legacy in 2022.

Ken then admitted that he thinks her eldest son - Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge - has been carrying her legacy on.

The debut episode saw Meghan and long-time friend Serena Williams speak candidly about the struggles of living in the public eye, motherhood and the double standard women face when they are labelled “ambitious.”
