MEGHAN MARKLE, PRINCE HARRY WARNED OF RUINING ROYAL RELATIONS: 'NEED THEIR FINANCES'
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry issued a major warning about the state of their finances and how it ‘relies’ on the state of their relations with the Royal Family. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams made this claim in his interview with Us Weekly’s Royally Us.
He was quoted saying, “From the Susssexes point of view, if they're going to be philanthropists, it's not in her interest or his to have bad family relations.” “Apart from Princess Eugenie and Doria, Meghan's mother, they are certainly estranged from everybody as far as I can see.”
“They're certainly not close to them. As far as the Royal Family is concerned, they want to stop damage. It's everyone's interest to solve the rift but will it be solved?” “What about the state of the Sussexes finances, what about Netflix's disastrous situation with shares plummeting? And the fact that they're going to scrap Meghan's series.”
The Queen has pulled out of an appearance at the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow. A spokesman for the palace says Her Majesty has opted to miss the annual event - which ushers in the new political year - because she continues to have issues with her mobility.
The "reluctant" decision was made today in consultation with her doctors, the Buckingham Palace representative added. Instead, Prince Charles will read The Queen's speech on her behalf. The Queen's throne will remain empty in the House of Lords, and the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, who is also attending, will sit in their usual seats.
Prince William will also be in attendance for his debut State Opening appearance. The Imperial State Crown will still travel to Parliament. Palace aides say Her Majesty has a busy diary this week with a call with Australia undertaken today, a planned Privy Council and PM audience, virtual and by phone, on Wednesday.
The Queen is expected to undertake some private engagements later in the week The Letters Patent authorised by Her Majesty delegate to Counsellors of State the Royal function of opening a new session of Parliament. In this instance, it enables The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Cambridge to jointly exercise that function.
No other functions have been delegated by Her Majesty. The Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: "The Queen continues to experience episodic mobility problems, and in consultation with her doctors has reluctantly decided that she will not attend the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow.
"At Her Majesty’s request, and with the agreement of the relevant authorities, The Prince of Wales will read The Queen’s speech on Her Majesty’s behalf, with The Duke of Cambridge also in attendance."
