<p>The Buckingham Palace is being called out for its 'double standards' as it has ordered a probe into bullying claims against Meghan Markle but has remained mum on the sexual abuse allegations against Prince Andrew.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While speaking to Sky News, Carolyn Durand, who co-authored a biography on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex titled 'Finding Freedom', said "there's been a lot of double standards" in Buckingham Palace's treatment of Markle and Prince Andrew. "Why is there an investigation into this bullying but there's not been an investigation into Prince Andrew and the allegations surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the women who have made allegations"asked Durand.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Why hasn't he been urged to cooperate with U.S. authorities? Why were Prince Harry's military honours stripped but Prince Andrew's haven't been?" she further added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The author reacted to the news about the Palace initiating a probe on the allegations of bullying made against Markle by two of her former staffers while she was a working royal. The reaction came following a report by The Times on Tuesday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Markle, in a statement issued to People, denied the allegations.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Prince Andrew was embroiled in the Epstein scandal after Virginia Roberts Guiffre alleged that she was paid by Epstein to have sex with the royal when she was 17.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Prince spoke to BBC in November 2019 and denied the allegations. In May 2020, the prince announced he was stepping down from royal duties but Buckingham Palace never ordered an investigation into the allegations.<br />

A war of words over via the media has broken out between the Sussexes and the Royal Family in the days leading up to the couple's highly -anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey that is due to air on Sunday.&nbsp;<br />

<p>Britain`s Prince Harry and his American wife Meghan have called on Americans to register to vote in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, entering into political territory where British royals traditionally do not venture.<br />
<br />
In a video for 2020 Time 100, the US magazine`s list of the world`s most influential people, the couple said people who were able to cast their vote, should do so.<br />
<br />
Harry and Meghan now live in California, having stepped down from their senior royal roles in March.<br />
<br />
"Every four years we are told the same thing that this is the most important election of our lifetime," Meghan said.<br />
<br />
"But this one is. When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard, your voice is a reminder that you matter, because you do, and you deserve to be heard."<br />
<br />
Meghan, who married Queen Elizabeth`s grandson in 2018, criticized US President Donald Trump during his 2016 election campaign as being misogynistic and divisive.<br />
<br />
Last year, Trump, on being told of Meghan`s criticism, said: "I didn`t know that. What can I say? I didn`t know that she was nasty."<br />

Under Britain`s unwritten constitution, the royal family are expected to remain politically neutral and do not vote in elections. The queen, 94, has rarely strayed into current affairs issues during her 68-year reign.<br />

"This election, I`m not going to be able to vote in the U.S., but many of you may not know that I haven`t been able to vote in the UK my entire life," Harry said in the video. "As we approach this November, it`s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity."<br />

While Harry did not endorse Trump`s opponent, Democrat challenger Joe Biden, his comments led to criticism he was interfering in politics.<br />

"I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen &amp; the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada.

<p>Now, a source close to the royal family has told to Daily Mail that Harry's father, Prince Charles has agreed to pay a "private contribution" to his son.<br />
<br />
The source adds that while it's not categorically mentioned what the contribution is for, but it is being believed that Charles would be covering half of Harry and Meghan's security cost in the US. According to media reports, the couple's security is estimated to be £4 million in total per year. And if Prince Charles pays half of the said amount, the source states it would be put a certain amount of dent in his pocket whose yearly income is estimated to be £ 26 million.</p>

Prince Charles will reportedly foot majority of the Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's security bill amid their move to America. A few days earlier, President Donald Trump had categorically stated that the multimillion-dollar cost would not fall on taxpayers and hence America would not be responsible for the couple's security.

<p>Prince Harry is taking a stand for his wife Meghan Markle against the media. According to E-News, the Duke of Sussex issued a statement over British media`s "ruthless" campaign against Markle. Also, there are speculations that the royals are taking legal action over releasing a private letter penned by Duchess of Sussex.<br />
<br />
"As a couple, we believe in media freedom and objective, truthful reporting. We regard it as a cornerstone of democracy and in the current state of the world - on every level - we have never needed responsible media more," read the statement by the Duke of Sussex."Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences - a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son."<br />
<br />
"There is a human cost to this relentless propaganda, specifically when it is knowingly false and malicious, and though we have continued to put on a brave face - as so many of you can relate to - I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been. Because in today`s digital age, press fabrications are repurposed as truth across the globe. One day`s coverage is no longer tomorrow`s chip-paper," the Duke of Sussex`s statement continued.<br />
<br />
"Up to now, we have been unable to correct the continual misrepresentations - something that these select media outlets have been aware of and have therefore exploited on a daily and sometimes hourly basis."<br />
<br />
"It is for this reason we are taking legal action, a process that has been many months in the making. The positive coverage of the past week from these same publications exposes the double standards of this specific press pack that has vilified her almost daily for the past nine months; they have been able to create lie after lie at her expense simply because she has not been visible while on maternity leave. She is the same woman she was a year ago on our wedding day, just as she is the same woman you`ve seen on this Africa tour," continued the statement.<br />
<br />
"For these select media, this is a game and one that we have been unwilling to play from the start. I have been a silent witness to her private suffering for too long. To stand back and do nothing would be contrary to everything we believe in," Harry stated."This particular legal action hinges on one incident in a long and disturbing pattern of behaviour by British tabloid media. The contents of a private letter were published unlawfully in an intentionally destructive manner to manipulate you, the reader, and further the divisive agenda of the media group in question. In addition to their unlawful publication of this private document, they purposely misled you by strategically omitting select paragraphs, specific sentences, and even singular words to mask the lies they had perpetuated for over a year."<br />
<br />
"There comes a point when the only thing to do is to stand up to this behaviour because it destroys people and destroys lives. Put simply, it is bullying, which scares and silences people. We all know this isn`t acceptable, at any level. We won`t and can`t believe in a world where there is no accountability for this," Harry noted.<br />
<br />
"Through this action may not be the safe one, it is the right one. Because my deepest fear is history repeating itself" he said. Harry then gave the example of the death of his mother, Princess Diana and stated, "I`ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces."<br />
<br />
The Duke of Sussex`s statement concluded, "We thank you, the public, for your continued support. It is hugely appreciated. Although it may not seem like it, we really need it."<br />
<br />
"We have initiated legal proceedings against the Mail on Sunday, and its parent company Associated Newspapers, over the intrusive and unlawful publication of a private letter written by the Duchess of Sussex, which is part of a campaign by this media group to publish false and deliberately derogatory stories about her, as well as her husband. Given the refusal of Associated Newspapers to resolve this issue satisfactorily, we have issued proceedings to redress this breach of privacy, infringement of copyright and the aforementioned media agenda," said the legal representative of the Duchess of Sussex from Schillings.<br />
<br />
The royal couple is privately funding this case."The Mail on Sunday stands by the story it published and will be defending this case vigorously. Specifically, we categorically deny that the Duchess` letter was edited in any way that changed its meaning," a spokesperson for The Mail on Sunday (local time) told E-News.&nbsp;</p>

Lost my mother, now my wife is falling victim to same powerful force: Prince Harry takes legal action against British press for bullying Meghan Markle

<p>Nearly a year back, Meghan Markle made headlines for a minor royal gaffe and now her husband Prince Harry is following her footsteps by breaking the same tradition.<br />
<br />
Contrary to usual practice, the Duke of Sussex closed his own car door while attending the fifth anniversary of the Invictus Games.</p>

<p>As per the rules, the 34-year-old was supposed to let a member of the royal household open and shut the door for him, as it has been the tradition since the invention of cars and carriages.<br />
<br />
Royal observers were vigorously protesting over the Duke of Sussex flouting royal traditions, especially in the wake of the controversy surrounding him and his wife. However, fans of the royal couple are hailing the gesture as a sign of Harry`s "humble" nature.<br />
<br />
Meghan and Harry have been under intense scrutiny for a while now. Most recently, the pair drew flak after they took a trip to France on Elton John`s private jet. The royal couple was criticised because, just a week prior, Harry claimed that they would only have two kids in order to conserve the resources the earth still has."I`ve always thought: this place is borrowed. And, surely, being as intelligent as we all are, or as evolved as we all are supposed to be, we should be able to leave something better behind for the next generation," he said.<br />
<br />
The statement was termed as hypocritical since flying in a private jet is very harmful to the environment. However, Elton claimed that it was necessary to maintain "a high level of much-needed protection" for Meghan, Harry and their son Archie Harrison.<br />
<br />
Meghan`s A-list friends, including Ellen DeGeneres, also defended their decision to ditch commercial flights."Imagine being attacked for everything you do, when all you`re trying to do is make the world better," Ellen shared.<br />
<br />
Later this month, Meghan and Harry will be jetting off for their first royal tour as a family of three. The royal couple will take Archie to Cape Tape Town, South Africa, on September 23.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Although there`s no confirmation as for when the royal fans can expect to see their son, the first scheduled stop of the pair`s visit is to a township. They will leave their little son, who was born on May 6, with his nanny as they start the official first leg of the tour.</p>

After Meghan Markle, now Prince Harry breaks royal tradition

<p>Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres spoke out on Monday in support of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, calling them a down-to-earth and hardworking couple who were being unfairly attacked by the media.<br />
<br />
John recalled his friendship with Harry`s mother, the late Princess Diana, in a series of tweets in which he appealed to the press to stop the almost daily "relentless and untrue assassinations on their character."<br />
<br />
The 'Rocketman' singer was responding to criticism in Britain over two recent vacations taken by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their three-month-old baby Archie to Spain, and to the south of France, where the couple stayed at John`s villa in Nice. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/british-royals-prince-william-kate-middleton-may-call-off-pakistan-visit-244216">Also read:&nbsp;British royals Prince William, Kate Middleton to call off Pakistan visit</a><br />

John tweeted that he provided Harry and Meghan with a private jet to his home for security reasons but said a contribution was made to Carbon Footprint Ltd, which offsets carbon emissions by funding environmentally friendly projects.</p>

Elton John blasts relentless character assassination of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

<p>Meghan Markle`s guest-editing position for the September issue of the iconic fashion magazine British Vogue is already in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.<br />
<br />
The news of Meghan turning editor and changing the magazine`s usual fashion-forward focus to something deeper was met with delight by most people but now the former `Suits` actor is being accused of copying the cover from a 2016 book.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Shortly after the September issue was released, fans pointed out a number of similarities the magazine`s cover seemed to have with Australian authors Samantha Brett and Steph Adams` bestselling book titled `The Game Changers`, which Meghan also contributed to in 2016. Brett and Adams told the outlet that the similarities between their book and magazine are "flattering" but "disappointing."<br />
"It`s obviously very flattering, she must like our concept! I love Meghan and am a huge fan, but it is a little bit disappointing," Brett said of the cover which shows the faces of various women considered `Forces for Change` and placed in separate boxes.<br />
<br />
"But any project that aims to support the empowerment of women, I am a great supporter of. Our book was for charity -- so hopefully they too are giving the proceeds to a worthy cause," she added.While it`s not clear if the cover choice was the Duchess` idea, the 16th still, a mirror, was suggested by her to inspire readers to be their own `forces for change`, according to the Daily Mail.<br />
<br />
Brett told Fox News that `The Game Changers` was first released with a black and white cover in November 2016, of which Meghan was one of the contributors along with 40 other celebrities and change-makers.The book sold out in a few weeks as word travelled and it was well-received by the readers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Markle also faced criticism for not making the issue an inclusive one as many pointed out that the magazine celebrated only those women who Meghan felt were inspiring and did not represent too <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/meghan-markle-faces-backlash-over-british-vogue-collaboration-239651">many people from Britain including Queen Elizabeth II.&nbsp;</a><br />
<br />
Brett noted that the book was then re-released with more women in 2017 featuring a pink cover and has since become a bestseller.<br />
Adams echoed similar sentiments about the September issue cover, being put towards a good cause, but said she could see Meghan achieving the same impact as `The Game Changers` if she had written a book of her own, complete with powerful interviews and testimonies she gathered on her own and given the money to a charity.<br />
<br />
"The Duchess of Sussex is someone we all want to look up to, admire and respect," said Adams, a four-time author who published her first book three years ago.<br />
<br />
"We love that she has ideas for change that are positive and that she is addressing issues such as diversity and kindness. But wouldn`t it have been more powerful if she just created a book and interviewed women and gave the money to charity," she added.<br />
<br />

Meghan Markle`s guest-editing position for the September issue of the iconic fashion magazine British Vogue is already in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

Meghan Markle`s guest-editing position for the September issue of the iconic fashion magazine British Vogue is already in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The news of Meghan turning editor and changing the magazine`s usual fashion-forward focus to something deeper was met with delight by most people but now the former `Suits` actor is being accused of copying the cover from a 2016 book. Shortly after the September issue was released, fans pointed out a number of similarities the magazine`s cover seemed to have with Australian authors Samantha Brett and Steph Adams` bestselling book titled `The Game Changers`, which Meghan also contributed to in 2016. Brett and Adams told the outlet that the similarities between their book and magazine are "flattering" but "disappointing." "It`s obviously very flattering, she must like our concept! I love Meghan and am a huge fan, but it is a little bit disappointing," Brett said of the cover which shows the faces of various women considered `Forces for Change` and placed in separate boxes. "But any project that aims to support the empowerment of women, I am a great supporter of. Our book was for charity -- so hopefully they too are giving the proceeds to a worthy cause," she added.While it`s not clear if the cover choice was the Duchess` idea, the 16th still, a mirror, was suggested by her to inspire readers to be their own `forces for change`, according to the Daily Mail. Brett told Fox News that `The Game Changers` was first released with a black and white cover in November 2016, of which Meghan was one of the contributors along with 40 other celebrities and change-makers.The book sold out in a few weeks as word travelled and it was well-received by the readers. Markle also faced criticism for not making the issue an inclusive one as many pointed out that the magazine celebrated only those women who Meghan felt were inspiring and did not represent too many people from Britain including Queen Elizabeth II. Brett noted that the book was then re-released with more women in 2017 featuring a pink cover and has since become a bestseller. Adams echoed similar sentiments about the September issue cover, being put towards a good cause, but said she could see Meghan achieving the same impact as `The Game Changers` if she had written a book of her own, complete with powerful interviews and testimonies she gathered on her own and given the money to a charity. "The Duchess of Sussex is someone we all want to look up to, admire and respect," said Adams, a four-time author who published her first book three years ago. "We love that she has ideas for change that are positive and that she is addressing issues such as diversity and kindness. But wouldn`t it have been more powerful if she just created a book and interviewed women and gave the money to charity," she added. Brett and Adams, a co-authoring duo, have since released `The Juggle`, which debuted in April 2019 and features high-profile mothers juggling their careers and families. It`s unclear whether Brett or Adams are planning any further action at this time, or whether this will die down on its own.

Meghan Markle accused of copying magazine cover from book, authors call it 'disappointing'

<p>The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, who recently collaborated with British Vogue to unveil the September issue of the magazine, is still facing criticism.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
There were several users on Twitter who wanted to know why Meghan had not included Queen Elizabeth II among her list of ladies (the magazine cover includes 15 brilliant female changemakers), or even a doctor or nurse, a teacher, lawyer.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Others wondered why the Duchess had skipped out on meeting US President Donald Trump during his recent state visit, citing her maternity leave as the reason for her absence.</p>

<p>Piers Morgan, who is known for hot take on the Duchess, slammed her and called her "shamelessly hypocritical for her super-woke Vogue stunt" in a scathing op-ed for the Daily Mail and as cited by E-News, lashing out at her "greatest hits of virtue-signalling" while she excluded the entire male population from the cover and promoted Brand Meghan rather than promoting Brand Britain.&nbsp;<br />
The magazine, in the latest edition, previewed fashion for the upcoming fall/winter season.<br />
<br />
This is the first time that a member of the British Royal family guest-edited the esteemed fashion book, and also anyone had been brought aboard to guest-edit the pivotal issue.And it is absolutely true that Meghan did her job in a great manner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She took the opportunity to shift the magazine`s usual fashion-forward focus to something a bit deeper and titled the issue as "Forces for Change," placing women who had a laudable impact in recent times and who are set to reshape society in radical and positive ways in the future.<br />
<br />
The Duchess even turned down the opportunity to appear on the cover herself--"In the end, she felt that it would be in some ways a `boastful` thing to do for this particular project," Edward Enninful, British Vogue`s Editor-in-Chief, said--she, instead, put the spotlight on "the women she admires," including Yara Shahidi, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and climate change campaigner and student Greta Thunberg, among many others.</p>

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, who recently collaborated with British Vogue to unveil the September issue of the magazine, is still facing criticism. There were several users on Twitter who wanted to know why Meghan had not included Queen Elizabeth II among her list of ladies (the magazine cover includes 15 brilliant female changemakers), or even a doctor or nurse, a teacher, lawyer.

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, who recently collaborated with British Vogue to unveil the September issue of the magazine, is still facing criticism. There were several users on Twitter who wanted to know why Meghan had not included Queen Elizabeth II among her list of ladies (the magazine cover includes 15 brilliant female changemakers), or even a doctor or nurse, a teacher, lawyer. Others wondered why the Duchess had skipped out on meeting US President Donald Trump during his recent state visit, citing her maternity leave as the reason for her absence. Piers Morgan, who is known for hot take on the Duchess, slammed her and called her "shamelessly hypocritical for her super-woke Vogue stunt" in a scathing op-ed for the Daily Mail and as cited by E-News, lashing out at her "greatest hits of virtue-signalling" while she excluded the entire male population from the cover and promoted Brand Meghan rather than promoting Brand Britain. The magazine, in the latest edition, previewed fashion for the upcoming fall/winter season. This is the first time that a member of the British Royal family guest-edited the esteemed fashion book, and also anyone had been brought aboard to guest-edit the pivotal issue.And it is absolutely true that Meghan did her job in a great manner.

The Duchess even turned down the opportunity to appear on the cover herself--"In the end, she felt that it would be in some ways a `boastful` thing to do for this particular project," Edward Enninful, British Vogue`s Editor-in-Chief, said--she, instead, put the spotlight on "the women she admires," including Yara Shahidi, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and climate change campaigner and student Greta Thunberg, among many others.
