ANNE BOLEYN STAR JODIE TURNER-SMITH BLASTS ROYAL FAMILY FOR NOT DOING ‘MORE TO PROTECT’ MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY

TITLE CLAIMS SLAMMED BY PIERS

Piers Morgan has said that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should be stripped of their royal titles for allegedly “trashing the institution and causing a lot of damage”.

Discussing the royal couple, the TV favourite blasted Harry and Meghan for “weaponising” mental health and racism – adding that it was “hypocritical to do that whilst making hundreds of millions out of their royal titles.”

He explained: “I think they should be stripped of their titles because they’re trashing the institution and causing a lot of damage in the Commonwealth where a lot of the countries are believing this racism crap.

“They’ve become the world’s biggest victims in the middle of a pandemic. It’s pathetic. Harry needs to grow up.”

Royal aides reportedly want Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to give up their titles after a “disgraceful” swipe at Charles’ and Philip’s parenting skills.

DENISE WELCH SLAMS “DISGRACEFUL” PIERS MORGAN COMMENTS ON MEGHAN MARKLE AND NAOMI OSAKA

Hollyoaks star Denise Welch didn’t hold back as she called Piers Morgan out for silencing mental health sufferers such as Naomi Osaka and Meghan Markle.

The 63-year-old, who also starred in Coronation Street and Waterloo Road, took to her official Instagram account to share a scathing rant over Piers Morgan’s latest column for MailOnline.

Sharing a print screen of his article to her 230,000 followers, Piers’ headline read: “Narcissistic Naomi’s cynical exploitation of mental health to silence the media is right from the Meghan and Harry playbook of wanting their press cake and eating it.”

Denise took to the caption of the photo to pen her own thoughts on how “disgusted” she was left by Piers words.

The Loose Women star penned: “Piers Morgan publicly berating a brilliant young woman for prioritising her mental health AGAIN!!!

“Anyone who has suffered depression and anxiety knows that life becomes unbearable and you will do anything to stop the pain.

“Piers also proves why so many people suffer in silence because of fear of being called ‘an arrogant narcissistic spoiled brat’. This man is a f…..g disgrace.”

MEGHAN’S SILENT BATTLE

In her recent Oprah interview, aired in March, Meghan Markle revealed her battles with mental health before making the decision to step down as senior Royals with husband Prince Harry, 36.

The pregnant mum-of-one explained she was struggling with suicidal thoughts while pregnant with Archie but claimed her attempts to get help from the Palace fell on deaf ears.

The Duke of Sussex told Oprah in a new doc, The Me You Can’t See, that what stopped his wife from giving in to suicide was how “unfair” it would be to him after the death of his mum Princess Diana in 1997.

He said: “The thing that stopped her from seeing it through was how unfair it would be on me after everything that had happened to my mum and to now be put in a position of losing another woman in my life, with a baby inside of her, our baby.

“The scariest thing for her was her clarity of thought. She hadn’t ‘lost it.’ … She was completely sane. Yet in the quiet of night, these thoughts woke her up.”

MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY HAVE ‘LONG-TERM DAMAGE’ WITH QUEEN

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have created ‘long-term damage’ with the Queen and the Royal Family after their Oprah interview bombshells, an expert has said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who claimed they were mistreated by the family knew the aftermath of the exclusive interview “would be difficult”.

Speaking on Channel 5 documentary Harry and Meghan: Two Troubled Years, royal expert Katie Nicholl said: “The damage really has been long term.

“I think they went in knowing it was going to be very difficult for the Royal Family to have any sort of comeback.

“They certainly weren’t going to sit down and address every single point and accusation made in the interview.”

BONE CHILLER

Human remains have been found just yards from Harry and Meghan’s £11million mansion.

The bones from a small adult were unearthed by workers doing landscaping on an estate just along the road.

They are thought to be those of a Native American and date back centuries.

Their age will be determined by a forensic anthropologist called in by police.

Landscapers made the discovery last week while working at an estate in Riven Rock Road in Montecito, California.

PALACE ‘IN A BIND’ OVER PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN

Strategically, the palace is stuck in a bind over the Sussexes, says a royal commentator.

Daniela Elser writes in News.com.au: “They can leave the couple and their titles untouched, or they can push them to kowtow to their whims and only strengthen the couple’s US cause.”

Her comments are in response to Lady Colin Campbell’s online petition for Prince Harry to quit his titles. It’s already had over 45,000 signatures.

Elser explains that if they did lose their Sussex title, “they still have his princely status to fall back on” and Meghan would have “every right to style herself Princess Henry of Wales.

“In short, this whole situation is something of a win/win for the renegade couple.”

THE TIES THAT BIND

It’s one of the most famous wedding dresses in history – and now Prince Harry and Prince William have put aside their differences so royal fans can see their late mother’s bridal gown in a new exhibition.

The feuding brothers have agreed to loan Princess Diana’s iconic dress to the Royal Style in the Making exhibition at Kensington Palace.

It comes ahead of what would have been Diana’s 60th birthday on July 1 which will be marked by Harry and William unveiling a new statue of their mother.

The Princess of Wales’s ivory silk taffeta wedding dress will be displayed complete with its spectacular sequin train which was encrusted with over 10,000 pearls.

The stunning dress – designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel – was made of antique lace (something old), material from a British silk farm (something new) and even had a small blue bow sewn into the waistband (something blue).

PALACE PARTY CONTINUED

Buckingham Palace has released new details of the celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022:

• There will be a special four-day bank holiday between 2-5 June
• Trooping the Colour will be staged in full for the first time since the pandemic and is scheduled on 2 June.
• The next day there will be a Service of Thanksgiving for the Queen’s reign at St Paul’s Cathedral
• On Saturday the Queen will be joined by members of the royal family for the Derby at Epsom Downs
• Later that evening a live concert will be staged at Buckingham Palace – called the Platinum Party at the Palace.

PALACE PARTY

Brits will get an extra Bank Holiday in a four-day Platinum Jubilee bonanza to celebrate the Queen’s 70 years on the throne, Buckingham Palace revealed today.

Her Majesty, 95, will be treated to a special celebration involving 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians to celebrate her 70th year on the throne in June 2022.

It is the first time any British monarch has reached this historic milestone.

The government already confirmed Brits will be treated to a four-day weekend to mark the special occasion.

But the Palace today said the extra days off will “provide an opportunity for communities and people to come together and celebrate the historic milestone”.

WILLIAM ‘WILL NEED BROTHER’S SUPPORT WHEN HE’S KING’

When he eventually becomes King, William will need far more support from his brother, Prince Harry, says a report.

William will have “arguably one of the most important jobs in the world, and he’s going to need the support of the person who has been his right-hand man since he was a child,” said Myka Meier, founder of Beaumont Etiquette.

She told Vanity Fair: “There’s nobody that knows him quite like Harry.”

PRINCE WILLIAM DOESN’T WEAR HIS WEDDING RING – HERE’S WHY

The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton 10 years ago was one of the most-watched events of the decade.

But, some eagle-eyed social media users have noticed something different about Wills and Kate – while the Duchess proudly displays her sparkler on her left hand, the Duke’s wedding ring is nowhere to be seen.

Ditching tradition, it seems that William isn’t a fan of jewellery at all.

After the royal pair got hitched in 2011, a spokesperson from the palace revealed the reason why the Prince decided to go ringless.

They explained: “It is simply down to personal preference. It was something that the couple discussed but Prince William isn’t one for jewellery.”

QUEEN’S CORONATION ANNIVERSARY MARKED WITH GUN SALUTE

Gun salutes have been fired across the capital to mark the 68th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation.

British Army regular and reserve soldiers commemorated the occasion by firing volleys from the banks of the Thames at the Tower of London and the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich.

It is exactly 68 years since the head of state made her way, as a young 27-year-old monarch, to Westminster Abbey to be crowned on June 2 1953.

The coronation took place 16 months after the Queen acceded to the throne, allowing a period of mourning for her father King George VI who died on February 6 1952, and time to get the detailed preparations in place.

It was a day of pomp and pageantry as thousands took to the streets despite the rainy weather to see the Queen’s procession.

DIANA BROKE DOWN IN TEARS AFTER SECRETLY LISTENING INTO BASHIR CALL

Princess Diana burst into tears after secretly listening in to a phone call in which disgraced Martin Bashir heaped scorn on her, sobbing: “How could he be like that?”

The five-minute call to Kensington Palace — in which Bashir crudely demanded to know the princess’s whereabouts and which boyfriends she was meeting in private — left her friendship with the BBC journalist in tatters.

Former butler Paul Burrell, who took the call as Diana listened in, said she fled the room in horror after realising Bashir’s friendliness towards her had been fake.

Revealing for the first time the details of the 1996 conversation, he said it was the moment Diana decided to cut her poisonous former ally out of her life.

HOW TO GET NINE DAYS OFF DURING QUEEN’S JUBILEE

Workers can get NINE days off work in a row if they book just three days’ worth of holiday in a Queen’s Jubilee Bank Holiday loophole.

Buckingham Palace today confirmed Brits will be treated to a four-day weekend from June 2 to June 5 next year to mark the Queen’s 70th year on the throne.

The Palace said the extra days off will “provide an opportunity for communities and people to come together and celebrate the historic milestone”.

But Brits can take advantage of the extra two days off by simply booking holiday for the three days before the new Bank Holiday dates.

This means if they book off Monday, May 30, Tuesday, May 31, and Wednesday, June 1 – they will get NINE days off in a row.

This is because they will already have the weekend off before the days they book as holiday.

MEGXIT TO PROMPT PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE OVER FUTURE MONARCHY – DIANE ABBOTT

The British monarchy could drastically change as a result of Megxit and the Sussexes’ complaints about members of the royal family, says an MP.

Former shadow home secretary Diane Abbott told Vanity Fair: “I think the monarchy as we know it will last as long as the queen is alive.”

However, after she dies, “I think there will be a big public debate.

“I think what the royal family and their advisers did with Meghan will be part of the argument for change,” she added.

Abbott told the mag that the royal debate could even reach Parliament, with a “clamour to look at the current arrangement and maybe move to a more Scandinavian monarchy, where you don’t have all the pomp and ceremony.”

PLATINUM PARTY

Buckingham Palace has released new details of the celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022:

• There will be a special four-day bank holiday between 2-5 June

MEGHAN WOULD BECOME A PRINCESS IF SHE LOSES HER TITLE

Meghan would become a princess if she loses her Duchess of Sussex title, points out a royal commentator.

Daniela Elser writes in news.com.au: “Any move to strip the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their titles following their attacks on the royal family could have a very unexpected consequence.

“Could Her Majesty wielding her dwindling influence over the wayward couple and getting them to give up their Sussex titles actually backfire and prove to be a boon for Montecito’s most controversial rate payers?

“For one thing, it would make the 95-year-old monarch look quite petty and vindictive.

“The Sussexes, in turn, could bask in a sort of PR martyrdom that would strengthen their anti-Establishment, ‘speaking truth to power’ brand.

“Even if Harry and Meghan were no longer in a position to use their Sussex titles, they still have his princely status to fall back on. He will always be Prince Henry of Wales officially and she, as his wife, has every right to style herself Princess Henry of Wales, a la the Queen’s cousin Prince Michael of Kent and his wife Princess Michael of Kent.”
