Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s recent trip to Nigeria has been in the news ever since the Duke and Duchess made their way to the African nation to promote Invictus Games. The duo has been spotted having a lot of fun while engaging in chats with the local people, participating in games and for Meghan, also exploring her roots.&nbsp;

Meghan Markle addressed exploring her racial identity and finding out that according to a genealogy test, the former actress and estranged royal has roots in Nigeria. She told the media that she recently found out that she is “43 per cent Nigerian” and that it was so late in her life that she got a chance to visit the country, but she was glad that it happened.&nbsp;

Meghan interacted with the people in Nigeria and put her best foot forward after keeping a somewhat low profile in the US. She called Nigeria “my country” to everyone’s amazement. Addressing the crowd at a women's event held at the World Trade Organisation in the capital, Abuja, Meghan expressed her gratitude and honour for the warm reception she and her husband received from the locals in Nigeria.&nbsp;

<h2>Meghan Markle is "43 per cent Nigerian"</h2>

She was heard saying, "I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you've all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country… my country.”

So while she found out about her roots to Nigeria in 2022, courtesy her mother’s genes, she couldn’t follow it up with a visit. She however mentioned that she always wanted to explore her ancestral heritage.

Meghan Markle has previously spoken at length about being an African-American and what it meant early on in her life and career.

The first time possibly when she mentioned this, was in one of her Archetyped podcasts, when she said, “I'm going to start to dig deeper into all this because anybody that I've told, especially Nigerian women, are like 'What!'”

<h2>Meghan looked uber&nbsp;fashionable in Nigeria</h2>

Meghan Markle is always dressed impeccably but it looks like she’s putting more effort to match up to the vibe of the people of Nigeria. Speaking to women in Nigeria, Meghan Markle said, "I am just flattered and honoured and inspired. It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived. And I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour, so I can fit in with all of you and your incredible fashion."

Wait, what? Meghan Markle calls Nigeria 'my country' after genealogy test reveals she's 43% Nigerian

Meghan Markle is reflecting on the trolling she got on social media when she was pregnant with Archie and Lilibet. The Duchess of Sussex criticised the 'endless toxicity' of the social media platform while speaking on the occasion of International Women's Day.&nbsp; 
 
During her appearance at the SXSW festival in Austin Texas, Meghan spoke during the panel called “Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen.'' 
 
Speaking in front of her husband, Prince Harry and the audience, Markle talked about the negative impact of social media.&nbsp;

“Yes, social media is an environment that has a lot of that [toxicity] …I keep my distance from it right now just for my own wellbeing,” she said. 
 
Meghan added how people have forgotten humanity in the digital space as she shared the ''bullying and abuse'' that she faced when she was pregnant with Archie and Lili. 
 
“You have to really wrap your head around why people would be so hateful. It’s not catty — it’s cruel,” she said.

“And certainly when you’re pregnant or you have a newborn, as moms you know it’s such a tender and sacred time. And you can either succumb to it or nearly succumb to how painful it is. And maybe in some regards, that mammalian instinct just kicked in: ‘Do everything you can to protect your child’ and as a result protect yourself too,” Meghan added.&nbsp; 
 
The 42-year-old went on to target several platforms for spreading hate and conspiracy theories that may hurt someone's mental health. 
 
“I cannot make sense of that, because I understand that there are certain platforms, today is a really good example, this is being streamed on one of those platforms, and it’s also fantastic because people are going to have access to hear all of this brilliance and all of this insight, and at the same time, it’s a platform that has quite a bit of hate and rhetoric and incentivizes people to create pages where they can churn out very, very inciting comments and conspiracy theories that can have a tremendously negative effect on someone’s mental health, on their physical safety,” said&nbsp;Meghan. 
 
Apart from Markle, Katie Couric, Brooke Shields, and Nancy Wang Yuen were part of the panel.

'We've forgotten our humanity': Meghan Markle on social media toxicity:

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are getting into&nbsp;the holiday spirit in a joyful mood. Christmas is just around the corner and it's time for the annual Christmas card.&nbsp;Like the last year, this time the couple chose not to feature their children, Archi and Lilibet, in the greeting card. 
 
Released on Friday, the message on the card reads, "On behalf of the office of Prince Harry &amp; Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation, we wish you a very happy holiday season. Thanks for all the support in 2023!"&nbsp; 
 
The card featured a smiling picture of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The cheerful photo was clicked at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games 2023 in Düsseldorf, Germany. At the event, Meghan was looking all glamorous in the green off-shoulder dress, while Harry was wearing a black formal suit.

This is the second year in a row that Harry and Meghan have chosen not to include kids in the annual greeting. In 2022, Meghan and Harry revealed the face of their daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, on their official Christmas greeting card. 
 
Harry and Meghan's card was released a few hours after the Duke won the phone-hacking case against MGN newspapers. On Thursday, Britain's High Court ruled in favour of Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, in a case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN). He has been awarded £140,600 (approximately $180,000) in damages for phone hacking. 
 
"I consider that his phone was only hacked to a modest extent and that this was probably carefully controlled by certain&nbsp;people at each newspaper," presiding judge Justice Timothy Fancourt said. "There was a tendency for the Duke in his evidence to assume that everything published was the product of voicemail interception because phone hacking was rife within Mirror Group at the time. But phone hacking was not the only journalistic tool at the time, and his claims in relation to the other 18 articles did not stand up to careful analysis."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Christmas card is here!

Meghan Markle's recent comment on NBC’s famous money game show 'Deal or No Deal'&nbsp;has attracted a lot of reactions from the A-listers. And now, Oscar-winning actor Whoopi Goldberg is also lashing out at Markle for her negative comments on the show.&nbsp; 
 
For the unversed, a few days back, Meghan expressed her views on the famous game show, which she was eventually part of as one of the models. On the&nbsp;podcast, Archetypes, Markle said how 'objectified' she felt during the show.&nbsp;

Meghan, who was a 'briefcase girl' on the show, recalled how the women were&nbsp;labelled&nbsp;as&nbsp; 'bimbos'.&nbsp; 
 
After Meghan's remarks&nbsp;went viral, Whoopi has also come forward with her views and asked the&nbsp;Duke of Sussex to stop "making other women feel bad" about their career choices.&nbsp; 
 
Further, 'The View'&nbsp;co-host said, "That’s TV, baby." What did you think you were going to do? You know, that’s what the show was. "&nbsp;

"I don't know that the people who are sitting there are thinking about you like that. They're thinking: 'I want the money'."&nbsp; 
 
"The objectification might be coming from you and how you felt about how these women were being portrayed," Whoopi said on a recent episode of 'The View.' 
 
"That's what you have to change because we're performers. When you're a performer, you take the gig ... sometimes you're in a bozo suit, sometimes you've got a big nose, and this is just the way it is.''&nbsp;

She also asked Meghan to not make "the other women feel bad, because they’re trying to make a living, too."&nbsp; 
 
Not just Whoopi. The former 'Deal or No Deal'&nbsp;briefcase model, Claudia Jordan, also defended the show. Taking to her Instagram handle, Claudia slammed Meghan's comment and wrote,&nbsp; 
 
"Now Meghan..." For clarity, yes, getting a MODELING GIG on a game show isn’t necessarily about your intellect, but every show the executive producers picked 5 models with the most outgoing and fun personalities to place mics on who they KNEW would engage with the contestants."&nbsp; 
 
By clearly denying Meghan's 'bimbo' claims, she added, "Deal or No Deal NEVER treated us like bimbos. We got so many opportunities because of that show, Fremantle and @nbc. "

Whoopi Goldberg slams Meghan's 'bimbo' comment on 'Deal or No Deal': Stop making other women feel bad

Everyone is aware of Meghan Markle and the media&nbsp;scrutiny she has faced ever since her relationship with Prince Harry was made official. Now, a new book titled, 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors' has&nbsp;revealed an array of shocking revelations about the royal's life. 
 
The new book is by acclaimed British author Tom Bower who has also in the past written books on several prominent personalities including Harry's father Prince Charles.&nbsp; 
 
In the new book, Bower talked about when Meghan was left shocked after an acclaimed magazine focused more on her high-profile relationship despite her&nbsp;philanthropy work, acting or her long-running drama 'Suit'. 
 
Describing Meghan's reaction in the book via London's The Times Saturday, they wrote, the mother of two was “ecstatic” when Vanity Fair chose her as their September cover story star in 2017, but when the story came out, Markle was shocked to see that the cover of the magazine was titled, “She’s Just Wild About Harry,'' despite telling her&nbsp;that it will be all about Meghan and her work.

After the issue was made public, furious Meghan called her publicist and told them that palace was not happy with the issue and she was disappointed with her US-based public relations company, Sunshine Sachs, as per the book.&nbsp; 
 
In the Vanity fair issue, Meghan talked about her relationship&nbsp;with the British prince for the first time, "We’re in love. I'm sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time."&nbsp; 
 
Bower wrote in the news book, via Page six, ''Sunshine Sachs had demanded that the magazine satisfy Meghan’s requirement that she be presented as a philanthropist and activist, without considering one problem: Vanity Fair’s scrupulous researchers could find no evidence of her global philanthropy and activism.''

Soon after the Vanity Fair cover, the couple announced their engagement publicly.&nbsp;

I'm sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time." Bower wrote in the news book, via Page six, ''Sunshine Sachs had demanded that the magazine satisfy Meghan’s requirement that she be presented as a philanthropist and activist, without considering one problem: Vanity Fair’s scrupulous researchers could find no evidence of her global philanthropy and activism.'' Soon after the Vanity Fair cover, the couple announced their engagement publicly.

Meghan Markle visits Harlem school and reads her new book to kids, Prince Harry joins

Royal staffers, who had claimed that their then employer <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-buckingham-palace-launches-probe-after-former-staffer-accuses-meghan-markle-and-harry-of-bullying-367825">Meghan Markle</a> had bullied them, have now recanted their statements, reports suggest.

Meghan and Prince Harry's spokesperson had then released a statement on behalf of the couple, saying, "The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma. She is determined to continue her work building compassion around the world and will keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and doing what is good."

Bullying claims against Meghan Markle revoked by Royal staffers

It seems Meghan Markle's half brother Thomas Markle Jr is not too fond of her.&nbsp; 
 
Thomas will soon be participating in Australia's 'Big Brother VIP'. The trailer of the show has him calling Meghan "shallow". Thomas is among the 12 "celebrity" contestants.&nbsp; 
 
Thomas describes himself as "the biggest brother of them all" in the teaser released Sunday on Twitter and also brags about warning Prince Harry not to marry Meghan. 
 
"I told Prince Harry, ‘I think she’s going to ruin your life,'" Thomas says as video of him stepping out of a limo plays. "She’s very shallow." 
Thomas, reportedly, sent a scathing handwritten letter to Prince Harry ahead of the couple's May 2018 wedding. He reportedly warned the prince that it was 'not too late' to turn back.&nbsp; 
 
He also wrote that Meghan was "obviously not the right woman" for Harry and alleged that she was acting "the part of a princess like a below C average Hollywood actress." 
 
Thomas and Meghan share father Thomas Markle together. The 55-year-old was not part of the royal wedding- neither was his sister Samatha Markle, who has also been vocal in the past about her estrangement from Meghan. 
 
This isn't the first time that Thomas has used Meghan Markle to gain leverage. 
 
In 2019, he starred in a beer ad alongside a Meghan look-alike. The ad depicted him attempting to rob Buckingham Palace of Queen Elizabeth II’s crown, only to choose a case of beer instead. 
 
The cast of 'Big Brother VIP' this year also includes Caitlyn Jenner and Omarosa Manigault Newman.

Prince Harry gushes over daughter Lilibet, says her personality is 'very chill'

From the sound of horses` hooves on the day of Princess Diana's funeral to chases by paparazzi when he was a child in the back of a car, Prince Harry is still haunted by the trauma of losing his mother. 
 
Speaking in detail of how he failed to deal with her loss for more than a decade, Harry says in a new TV documentary series that the fear of also losing his wife Meghan was one of the main reasons the couple quit their royal duties and moved to California last year. 
 
"My mother was chased to her death when she was in a relationship with someone who wasn`t white, and now look what`s happened. You`re talking about history repeating itself? They`re not going to stop until she dies," Harry says in the mental health documentary series "The Me You Can`t See." 
"It`s incredibly triggering to potentially lose another woman in my life," he added, referring to Meghan. The "Me You Can`t See" series, which Harry produced with U.S. talk show host Oprah Winfrey, is released on Apple TV+ on Friday.

Princess Diana died in 1997 at age 36 in a crash in Paris after the car in which she was travelling with her Egyptian-born boyfriend Dodi Fayed was chased by paparazzi. Harry was 12 at the time.&nbsp; 
 
Harry, whose American wife Meghan is bi-racial, spoke of racist reporting in the mainstream British press about his wife, as well as abuse on social media. Meghan has said her experience in Britain drove her to thoughts of suicide when she was pregnant with their first son Archie. 
 
In the documentary, Harry spoke of walking behind Diana`s coffin through the streets of London with his brother William, father Prince Charles and uncle Charles Spencer. "The thing I remember most was the sound of the horses` hooves going along the Mall," he said. "It was like I was outside of my body, just walking along, doing what was expected of me, showing one tenth of the emotion that everyone was showing."

Years earlier, he recalled sitting in the back of his mother`s car while she, in tears, was pursued by photographers. "One of the feelings that comes up for me always is the helplessness. Being a guy and being too young to help a woman, in this case your mother, and that happened every single day," he said. 
 
Harry said he buried his feelings, but drank heavily and suffered panic attacks and anxiety in his 20s, and still freaks out when he sees cameras.&nbsp;"I was so angry with what happened to her (Diana) and the fact there was no justice at all... the same people that chased her through that tunnel photographed her dying on the back seat of that car," he said. 
 
"The clicking of cameras, and the flash of cameras makes my blood boil. It makes me angry. It takes me back to what happened to my mum, what I experienced as a kid." Even now, at age 36, he said that returning to London makes him feel tense and hunted. 
 
Harry said he started serious therapy almost five years ago when he met Meghan. "I quickly established that if this relationship was going to work, I had to deal with my past," he said. The couple married in May 2018.

Meghan, who is expecting a baby girl this summer, also asked about the female figures who have made an impact throughout history and have inspired them.&nbsp;

Meghan Markle made sure she was a part of Prince Philip's in a heartwarming way. 
 
The Duchess of Sussex wrote the card attached to the wreath sent by her and Prince Harry to ensure that, in a small way, she played a part in the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral service.

Meghan, who is heavily pregnant with the couple's second child, had hoped to attend the ceremony but was advised against travelling by her doctor. 
 
The 39-year-old was watching the funeral on television at home in Montecito, California.

The Sussexes' tribute was among nine family wreaths laid in the Quire of St George's Chapel, propped against the stalls on each side of the Duke's coffin.&nbsp;

A source close to the Sussexes confirmed to The Telegraph that theirs had been designed and handmade by Willow Crossley, a Cotswold florist known for her natural, rustic arrangements.

The variety of locally sourced flowers, some of which were picked from the designer's garden, were chosen due to their particular significance.&nbsp;

Prince Harry and Meghan asked for it to include Acanthus mollis, or bear's breeches, the national flower of Greece, to represent the Duke's heritage; Eryngium, or sea holly, to represent the Royal Marines; Campanula, to represent "gratitude and everlasting love"; rosemary to signify remembrance; lavender for devotion, and roses in honour of the Duke's birth month of June.

He noted that the Duke of Edinburgh was a decorated Naval officer whose military career spanned the Second World War, while his grandson's 10 years of active-duty service included two tours of duty on the frontlines in Afghanistan.&nbsp;

Here's how Meghan Markle ensured she had a part in Prince Philip's funeral

Meghan Markle will reportedly be making 'special arrangements'&nbsp;to honour the late Prince Philip after she was advised by her doctor not to fly to the UK due to being in the late stages of her pregnancy.

The 39-year-old, who is currently pregnant with her second child with Prince Harry, is&nbsp;in California with their son Archie after she reportedly made ‘every effort’ to travel to the UK following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh on April 9.

According to The Sun, due to the limited number of attendees at the funeral on&nbsp;April 17, Buckingham Palace has asked that loved ones who are unable to attend make “private arrangements to remember the Duke of Edinburgh”.

Friends of the Duchess of Sussex shared with the Daily Mail&nbsp;that she also wanted to stay away from Prince Philip’s funeral because she ‘doesn't want to be the centre of attention.’ It has been reported this week that Queen Elizabeth, 94, “understands” why Meghan isn’t returning to the UK and has been in contact with her.

A source has told People magazine: “It was always a given that Harry would return to England for his grandfather’s passing.”

After Prince Philip's passing at the age of 99, Meghan and Harry “were in contact with the Queen.”

The source went on to explain: “Meghan expressed condolences. The Queen understands why she can’t travel at the moment.”

Meghan, who is set to begin maternity leave in four weeks, is said to have had a “special bond” with the Queen’s late husband and “adored him.”

A source had told the Daily Mail, “Meghan said her main concern right now is supporting Harry. She said she left it up to him as to whether or not she would attend the funeral.

“Meghan said it’s during these times when family should come together, put their differences aside and unite as one. She said this is what Prince Philip would want and that she’s willing to forgive and move forward.”

Prince Harry, who is said to have put his rift with brother Prince William aside, is currently isolating in Frogmore Cottage in Windsor ahead of the funeral, which is set to take place at St George’s Chapel.

The Duke of Edinburgh will be seen on his final journey in a Jaguar Land Rover which he had a hand in designing.

Prince William and Prince Harry won`t be shoulder-to-shoulder at Prince Philip`s funeral A source has told People magazine: “It was always a given that Harry would return to England for his grandfather’s passing.” After Prince Philip's passing at the age of 99, Meghan and Harry “were in contact with the Queen.” The source went on to explain: “Meghan expressed condolences. The Queen understands why she can’t travel at the moment.” Queen Elizabeth `understands` why Meghan Markle is not attending Prince Philip`s funeral Meghan, who is set to begin maternity leave in four weeks, is said to have had a “special bond” with the Queen’s late husband and “adored him.” A source had told the Daily Mail, “Meghan said her main concern right now is supporting Harry. She said she left it up to him as to whether or not she would attend the funeral. “Meghan said it’s during these times when family should come together, put their differences aside and unite as one. She said this is what Prince Philip would want and that she’s willing to forgive and move forward.” Prince Harry, who is said to have put his rift with brother Prince William aside, is currently isolating in Frogmore Cottage in Windsor ahead of the funeral, which is set to take place at St George’s Chapel. The Duke of Edinburgh will be seen on his final journey in a Jaguar Land Rover which he had a hand in designing.

After certain eye raising revelations, the `Last Week Tonight` host went viral on Twitter for the comments he made to Stephen Colbert a few month`s before the couple got married in 2018." I would not blame Meghan if she pulled out of this at the last minute," the 43-year-old host told Colbert.

"The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much-loved family members," the statement concluded. 
 
A close source to the royal palace also told People Magazine that the family and their aides have been in crisis talks for much of the last two days as they formulate a response to the interview, which was watched by more than 17 million viewers in the U.S. on Sunday and 11 million viewers in the U.K. on Monday.&nbsp;

It's a girl for Meghan Markle, Prince Harry as they reveal baby no 2's details in interview

Prince Harry`s wife Meghan has accused Buckingham Palace of "perpetuating falsehoods" about her and her spouse, saying the royal couple would not be silent in telling their story. 
 
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, made the comments to American talk show host Oprah Winfrey in an interview about why they quit their royal roles that is due to be broadcast on U.S. television on Sunday. 
 
An advance excerpt of the interview was released on Wednesday, hours after Buckingham Palace said it was "very concerned" about reports in the Times newspaper that assistants working for Meghan two years ago had been bullied by her. Harry and Meghan issued a statement denying that she had bullied anyone. 
 
"How do you feel about the Palace hearing you speak your truth today?" Winfrey asks Meghan in the excerpt.

Meghan responded: "I don`t know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent, if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us." The Firm is the name that the British royal family sometimes uses to describe itself.

"And if that comes with risk of losing things, I mean, there`s a lot that`s been lost already," Meghan added. The interview was recorded before The Times newspaper ran a report citing unnamed sources as saying an aide to Harry and Meghan had raised a complaint in October 2018 alleging that Meghan had reduced some of her assistants to tears and treated others so badly that they had quit.

The paper said Harry had urged the aide, who has now left their staff, to drop the complaint, and it never progressed. 
The Times said it had been contacted by former staff members who wanted the public to gain insight before the Winfrey interview aired - and that lawyers for the couple had labelled the allegations a smear orchestrated by the Palace.

Reuters could not independently verify the report. "We are clearly very concerned about allegations in The Times following claims made by former staff of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex," Buckingham Palace said in a statement. 
 
The Royal Household "does not and will not tolerate bullying or harassment in the workplace", it added. It said its HR team would look into the allegations, and that members of staff involved at the time would be invited to participate. 
 
"SADDENED BY ATTACK" 
 
A spokeswoman for Meghan said earlier that she was "saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma".

That decision was confirmed last month when they also handed over all their royal patronages. They said their move was fuelled in part by intense press intrusion. 
However, Meghan had also previously indicated that she felt she did not have the full support of the royal family.

Meghan Markle accuses Buckingham Palace of 'perpetuating falsehoods'

Meghan, Britain`s Duchess of Sussex, is seeking 1.5 million pounds ($2.1 million) in legal costs after she won a privacy claim against the Mail on Sunday which had printed extracts of a letter she wrote to her father. 
 
Last month, a judge at London`s High Court ruled the tabloid had breached her privacy and infringed her copyright by publishing parts of the five-page letter she wrote to her father Thomas Markle who she fell out with on the eve of her wedding to Queen Elizabeth`s grandson, Prince Harry. 
 
Judge Mark Warby ruled in her favour without holding a trial, saying the articles were a clear breach of privacy after the paper argued the duchess had intended the letter’s contents to become public and it formed part of a media strategy. 
 
At a hearing on Tuesday to determine costs and other unresolved issues, documents submitted to the court showed that Meghan`s lawyers had asked for 1.5 million pounds in legal fees, with half the amount to be paid within 14 days. 
 
Her legal team has also demanded the paper hands over any copies it has of the letter, and called for the judge to order the paper to publish a statement on its front page stating she had won her case, with a notice also placed on the MailOnline`s home page for "not less than 6 months". 
 
"The first reason why the claimant seeks an order for publication and dissemination is to act as a deterrent to future infringers," her lawyers wrote in their submission.

Her lawyer Ian Mill told the hearing that they were not seeking to punish the paper, and would accept nominal damages based on the profits the Mail made from its articles, saying this was a "proportionate" way forward. 
 
The Mail is seeking permission to appeal Warby`s ruling and also argues that other issues such as whether Meghan had sole ownership of copyright to the letter needed to be addressed. 
 
As regards to Meghan`s decision to only seek nominal damages, the paper`s lawyers wrote: "No purpose would be served by a hearing to determine the precise amount, which by definition is not relevant. It is suggested that 1 pound, 2 pounds or 5 pounds would do." 
 
Meghan, 39, and husband Harry, 39, have rarely been off the front pages of Britain`s newspapers in the last month, having announced they were expecting their second child, followed by news of their final split with the royal family, following their decision to move to California last year. 
 
On Sunday, a highly-anticipated in-depth interview they gave to U.S. chat show queen Oprah Winfrey will be aired.

As regards to Meghan`s decision to only seek nominal damages, the paper`s lawyers wrote: "No purpose would be served by a hearing to determine the precise amount, which by definition is not relevant. It is suggested that 1 pound, 2 pounds or 5 pounds would do." Meghan, 39, and husband Harry, 39, have rarely been off the front pages of Britain`s newspapers in the last month, having announced they were expecting their second child, followed by news of their final split with the royal family, following their decision to move to California last year. On Sunday, a highly-anticipated in-depth interview they gave to U.S. chat show queen Oprah Winfrey will be aired.
