Meghan Markle, Harry running 'rival royal family operation' in UK for personal gain?

 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will visit Nottingham in central EnglandMeghan Markle and Prince Harry are allegedly running a ‘rival royal family operation in the UK, purely for personal gain’.

This has been claimed by outspoken journalist Piers Morgan after the reports said royal couple will on Thursday carry out their first joint engagement since returning to live in the UK in August.

King Charles younger son and Meghan will on that day visit Nottingham in central England, the city where they made their first joint appearance after announcing their engagement in 2017, the Sunday Times reported.

The visit signalled the couple's "determination to be viewed as public figures", the report said.

They are expected to visit projects at three charities that support young people and local communities through music, film, sport and tackling food poverty, the report said.

Meghan and Harry’s move comes as it is at odds with a letter last month in which King Charles made it clear that their position was "akin to private citizens" rather than public figures and that they should not be addressed as his and her royal highness.

Commenting on it, Piers Morgan said, “It’s actually outrageous that these two are now running a rival royal family operation in the UK, purely for personal gain.

 Meghan Markle and her family are settling into their quiet lives in Britain. 

On Sunday, Oct. 11, the Duchess of Sussex, 45, shared a video on her Instagram stories  featuring her and Prince Harry's  children, Prince Archie and pppppPrincees Lilibet,  strolling down a shaded path in the English countryside. 

While Archie, 7, appears to be riding a scooter, Lilibet, 5, can be seen trailing behind him as a group of wild deer pass by in the distance. The family’s black Labrador retriever, Pula, also trotted along while occasionally pausing to sniff the grass.  

While they are maintaining their home in Montecito, Calif., and their vacation property in Portugal, Meghan and Harry decided to establish a private, non-royal home base in Britain shortly after their Children reunited with their grand father , King Charles , for the first time in more than four years. 

The couple relocatedto Meghans's home state in 2020  after stepping back from their royal duties. 

The King was made aware of the couple’s plans to return to the U.K. and welcomed the opportunity to see more of the Sussex family in a private and personal capacity, PEOPLE understands.

There will be no change to Harry and Meghan’s status as private individuals and non-working members of the royal family.Can’t get enough of PEOPLE’s Royals coverage? 

In a video shared on Instagram on Sunday, Sept. 13, Meghan shared a first glimpse into her family’s life in England. 

The clip opens with Meghan and Harry walking hand in hand outdoors before transitioning to scenes of what appear to be Lilibet’s feet warming by a fireplace and Meghan, wearing Wellies, splashing through a muddy puddle. Later on, Lilibet could be seen riding a bicycle as Archie ran alongside her yelling, “Go! Go!” 

Wham’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” then kicks in as the montage continues with more scenes of the family enjoying the outdoors, including Harry, Archie and Lilibet fishing together on a boat.

Prince Harry Says Princess Diana’s Perfume Helped Unlock Memories He Had ‘Shut Down’

 The Duke of Sussex shares how a technique used with military veterans helped him reconnect with memories of his late mother in a new Master Class about grief.

• Prince Harry reveals how the scent of Princess Diana’s perfume helped him reconnect with memories of his late mother
• The Duke of Sussex says he had forgotten the sound of Diana’s voice and laugh after years of shutting down his emotions
• Harry says his therapist introduced him to a technique he had previously seen used with military veterans experiencing PTSD,

• Prince Harry is revealing how the scent of his late mother Princess Diana‘s perfume helped bring back memories he feared he’d lost forever.

  In a new Master Class about grief, the Duke of Sussex, 42, recalls how years of shutting down his emotions following Diana’s death left him struggling to remember even the sound of her voice and laugh.

  “I forgot what my mom sounded like. I forgot her laugh. I couldn’t really visualize what she looked like without looking at a photograph of her,” Harry says. Years later, Harry’s therapist introduced him to a technique he had previously seen used with military veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): using familiar scents to help access memories affected by trauma.

• For Harry, that meant revisiting the scent of his mother’s favorite perfume, First by Van Cleef & Arpels, a floral fragrance he previously identified in his 2023 memoir, Spare.

  “It was like being transported to another time,” he recalls. “It unlocked everything that had been locked previously. There was still the wall there, the emotional and mental wall that I built up, where everything good and bad was on the other side of the wall. But spraying my mother’s scent was almost like knocking certain bricks through, so that I could see through and certain memories and experiences could start seeping through.”

  The revelation comes in  Redefining Grief : Builiding Resilience Through Loss, a new Master  Class in which Harry joins neuroscientist Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor to explore how grief affects the brain and body.

  PEOPLE has learned that Master Class approached Harry last year about developing a class centered on grief. The program was filmed in California early this summer and debuted on Oct. 8, ahead of World Mental Health Day on Oct. 10. It benefits two bereavement charities, Comfort Zone Camp and Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a longtime cause of Harry’s.

• Harry was just 12 years old when his mother died in Paris car crash  in 1997. He and his brother, Prince William, famously walked behind their mother’s coffin during her public funeral procession through London.

  “Looking back on it now, I felt as though, you know, my brother and I were intermediaries for these people’s grief towards our mother, and they were showing more emotion than we could,” Harry recalls.“It felt very, very strange for the hundreds of hands that we shook to be soaking wet with tears that they wiped away from their own faces. I almost felt guilty that I was unable to show the same emotion as these people who were crying for someone they’d never even met.”

• O’Connor explains in the MasterClass why scent can be such a powerful trigger for memory, noting its connection to the amygdala and hippocampus, areas of the brain involved in emotion and memory.

  “What’s important about that is, when you’re doing exposure because of grief, the thing that you’re being exposed to is that the person is not coming back...that they really are gone and you’re going to be okay,” she says.

  “There are moments in grief where it is really difficult to remember them...but scent just cuts through all of that.”

• For Harry, reconnecting with memories of Diana became part of a broader journey toward allowing himself to experience happiness without feeling that he was leaving his mother behind.

  “I’d spent so long emotionally numb, to a large extent, because I felt disloyal and guilty for the possibility of being happy and joyful without her,” he shares. “I felt like I had to be sad and I had to be emotionally numb in order to prove to her that I missed her.”

• “But the reality is, what I discovered was actually that she just wanted me to be happy. And that was a huge mental shift for me. It freed me, and it gave me a whole different outlook on life.”

  Today, Harry says his family and charitable work have given him a meaningful way to carry Diana’s legacy forward.

  “Everything I do, everything I put my energy towards, I hope that my mother will be proud about it,” he says. “Trying to continue and protect her legacy, what I didn’t realize was the work that I ended up choosing, or the work that I ended up getting drawn in and attracted to, was so similar to the work that she was doing.

. Meghan Markle pictured 'making royal blunder' and people have same complaint

 The  Duchess of Sussex's  lifestyle brand recently announced that "The Holiday Collection: Chapter One" would launch on October 6, with a promotional snap shared on Instagram to mark the occasion. Posted by As Ever with the caption: "The season of giving is almost here, and we have a few surprises in store", the image immediately got people talking, with many making similar remarks about Meghan.

Although comments were disabled beneath Meghan's post, this did little to quell the chatter, as the image was swiftly reposted on X, sparking a flurry of debate with remarkably similar observations.

Highlighting the alleged gaffe, one social media user wrote: "If you're going to pretend as ifthird remarked: "Have no words, besides absolutely hilarious." Meanwhile, a fourth observed: "It's like NO ONE knows what they're doing. It's absurd."

Another also pointed out: "She’s making Pretend Stew." In the photograph, which appeared on the As Ever page, it seemed there was no visible flame beneath the pot on the hob. Additionally, the temperature controls appeared to be switched off completelobserved: "It's like NO ONE knows what they're doing. It's absurd."

Another also pointed out: "She’s making Pretend Stew." In the photograph, which appeared on the As Ever page, it seemed there was no visible flame beneath the pot on the hob. Additionally, the temperature controls appeared to be switched off completely.y. you're cooking on a gas range, do at least two smart things. One - make sure it's actually turned on, the knobs aren't even turned. Two, at least make it look like there's flames coming out underneath that pan. Tell us you don't cook without telling us you don't cook."

One individual responded, stating: "All smoke and mirrors." Another chimed in: "Uhhh does Meghan Markle know to turn the stove on before cooking?

While it may well have simply been arranged for a photograph, viewers couldn't resist commenting on it. Many found it amusing that the setup appeared somewhat unconvincing.

However, some observers proved rather more understanding. One suggested: "That woman was just pretending to cook for a photoshoot."

Another pointed out: "Meghan's kitchen looks absolutely stunning and her Advent Calendar just sold out."

One more offered an alternative explanation, writing: "How daft. The heat can be turned off because the food is cooked through and needs occasional stirring before serving."

According to reports, Meghan's "Holiday Collection" will include a hostess hamper along with a set of As Ever playing cards. This follows her recent launch of a luxury advent calendar priced at approximately £112.

Meghan's new range will also feature three chocolate bars in Ginger Lemon, Lavender Honey and Hibiscus Rose flavours. The Duchess's lifestyle brand will officially unveil "The Holiday Collection: Chapter One" on October 6.

 HARRY and Meghan were in such a hurry to flee their Montecito mansion that they didn’t even tell their children’s school and left koi carp behind, neighbours have revealed.

 The Duke and Dutchess Of Suseex,  who “disappeared overnight” from the sun-drenched billionaire enclave.

We travelled to the Californian suburb two hours north of  LosAngeles and found an array of residents including some A-list names who were eager to gossip about the

 couple’s sudden departure.

“I know Archie goes to the school and that they didn’t even know they were leaving until everyone else found out.

“They’ve been told, ‘Don’t hold a place for him as he’s not coming back any time soon’.

“They were waiting a while for Archie to get into the school in England.

“He wasn’t accepted for ages, but the moment he was, they practically left the next day.

At her £8million Provencal-style home, interior designer Penny Bianchi  revealed that even the teachers at seven-year-old  Archhie  and five-year-old  Lilibet's  school were kept in the dark.

Penny, 79, whose home directly borders Oprah Winfrey's  sprawling estate, said the couple didn’t appear to have told anyone about their departure — including the exclusive £20,000-a-year school which their children attended.

She told The Sun: “My grandchildren go to the same school and my son is an alumnus so I get all my gossip from there.

A nobel woman who lived for Others

 

Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic saint and whenever her name comes up, one is reminded of unconditional love, compassion and selfless service to those in need. Born as Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910, she developed strong religious inclinations at the young age of 18. She came to India in 1929 and spent a good number of years teaching history and geography at a convent school in Calcutta.

On a train journey in 1946, she saw poverty and suffering and this is what evoked a realization in her that she wants to live among those in need in slums and help them. She eventually went on to found the Missionaries of Charity and her motto in life became to care for the hungry, homeless, cripples and all those people who felt unwanted, unloved and uncared for.

Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for alleviating suffering from the lives of many people. She became a symbol of peace and humanitarianism. Her words continue to inspire many and shall always do. Once she said, “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

Her popular quote : 

"If you judge people, you have no..."

  What does the quote mean?

The quote serves a reminder to people that judgements on people do no good to anyone. Instead of finding flaws in a person, one should simply appreciate the goodness in everyone and love them for who they are. Most of us will agree that in this day and age, judgement, scrutinty and finding flaws in others has become a second nature of many people.

Lessons from the quote

•  When you choose to criticize someone, you automatically close the door to forming a good bond with them.
• Giving labels to people and putting them in a box is a bad habit that one should get rid of.
• In this day and age of social media where everyone is scrutinising everyone's move, constant judgment can trigger many mental health struggles. It can erode one's peace of mind and start an undercurrent of negativity.
• Always remember that everyone is fighting a quiet battle you know nothing about.
• Expecting others to be flawless ensures you will always find a reason to distance yourself from them.
• You cannot truly love a person if you spend your initial moments calculating their faults.
