According to experts, the new portrait of Meghan and Harry is an insult to the royal family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new photographs allegedly humiliated the royal family.

Conflict at the Portrait Gallery.

In an exclusive interview with Page Six, author Tom Bower of "Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors" said he "definitely" believes the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared their most recent photographs to embarrass the royal family.

He explained that everything up until this point had been done "to establish Brand Meghan and the book, the Netflix series, the podcast." It's all about the bottom line. Moreover, they benefited from being filmed every day for at least seven days before the burial.

A few months previously, the couple was barely visible at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, according to Bower's account.

He made this comparison by saying that in contrast to Queen Elizabeth II's burial, where "they were centre stage," here "they were dragged off to a window upstairs and hardly seen."

Bower continued, "You know, she has really got one interest, and that's Meghan, and the casualties are the royal family and as far as she's concerned, that's amazing."

Photos taken by Misan Harriman during Markle and Harry's visit to the UK on the eve of the Queen's death on September 8 were released on Monday. They joined hands and posed for a shot just before the @OneYoungWorld opened to the public.

A fresh photograph of King Charles III, the Queen Consort, Prince William, and Kate Middleton was released two days earlier.

Two days prior, the Palace had released a portrait of the future king and Queen with their heir, Prince William and his bride, Kate Middleton.

The amazingly at ease portrait was taken on September 18, the day before the Queen's burial, in preparation for the massive reception the Palace held for Heads of State and Official Overseas Guests.

The couple was onstage at the Queen's funeral.

Markle and Harry wed in 2018, and less than two years later, they stepped down from their royal duties after reports surfaced that the former actress and their children had been the targets of racial profiling.

As time passed, the family packed up and headed west, settling in California with their two children, Archie (then three) and Lilibet (then one).

Prince William is reportedly "furious" over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Attempting to mend fences with his estranged sibling, Prince William went out to Harry, often known as "Harry.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, allegedly turned down his brother Prince William's offer of a private meeting to mend their breach.

According to royal historian Valentine Low's book Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, Prince William went out to Prince Harry after the latter said in an interview that he and William had fallen out months before Megxit.

Although Harry and Meghan's statements to Tom Bradby in 2019 had Prince William 'furious,' the Prince of Wales sought out the Duke for a covert meeting to repair the split, but the Duke declined.

According to the Daily Mail, Valentine says, "The day after the documentary aired, William WhatsApped his brother to beg if he might come and visit him.

Harry and Meghan were utterly taken aback by this. So, what should they do?

As the story goes, Harry was initially on board. Then he had another talk with his sibling, asking who he intended to inform. William said he would have to inform his secretary to clear his schedule. Don't come, Harry warned him then.

Instead of seeing his brother, he decided not to go because he feared William's staff would tell the press about it.

Biographer for the royal family defends Camilla, queen, and condemns The Crown for its "awful" representation of the monarchy.

As Angela Levin says, "I loathed what Harry was now doing and saying about her."

Author Angela Levin, who specializes in the British royal family, has stated that Camilla, Queen Consort, is a hardworking royal who is not at all how she is portrayed in the Netflix series The Crown.

This expert on the royal family has just released a biography of Camilla to dispel myths and correct misconceptions about the Queen Consort.

Angela claims that Camilla was portrayed in a "bad light" on The Crown, a Netflix royal drama. Instead, she is a hard worker behind the scenes for the royal family, as described in the book.

In an interview with Sky News Australia, Angela Levin said, "My motive for doing it was that I dislike The Crown on Netflix because they depicted her in a bad light." What Harry was saying and doing to her at this point bothered me.

I spent 15 months with the prince and authored his biography [Harry: Conversations with the Prince] in 2018. Therefore I consider myself an expert on him. Then, he was entertaining and endearing. However, he has become rather combative recently.

And I just wanted to serve it up and talk to the people in charge of the big charities," Ms. Levin explained.

The royal couple cut the ribbon, said, "how are you," and left. Without a doubt, she is not that. What she's done for people is quite remarkable, as I learned from one of the stories I heard. Her efforts to effect change are sincere.

"And this has stood out during the pandemic when she felt herself that couple who were together, who didn't get on, possibly were having a very hard time because we couldn't go out," she said.

And I wanted to put it to those who call her a rottweiler and the most terrible lady on Earth, that was before she married King Charles," she continued.

And then she made strenuous efforts to assist in securing it. She proposed placing a device in drugstores labelled with a phone number and a person's name (I think it was named Sue or something like that) so customers could place requests for specific individuals. And they'd know you were experiencing problems with your boyfriend attacking or battering you.

And you know, lovely stuff like that," Levin said in conclusion. But she isn't the type to brag, "Look at me; I'm terrific!" She prefers to labour in the shadows, but she's diligent.

Malala aspires to increase the visibility of people of colour in the film industry, identifying herself as "an activist and a storyteller"

The teenage activist argues that audiences should be allowed to watch shows created by people of colour if they are allowed to watch shows created by white people.

Malala Yousafzai, the laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize, is not only a writer and activist but also an ordinary young woman with specific interests, including binge-watching. Like everyone else, she enjoys seeing herself reflected in the media she consumes.

She spoke up about her likes and dislikes in an interview with Variety for their Power of Women celebration. She mentioned that she has recently been enjoying Stranger Things, largely thanks to the antics of Dustin Henderson. She also opened up about her expanding interests in entertainment and politics.

Yousafzai may speak passionately about girls' rights to an education, but she's just like the rest of us regarding her Netflix addiction. Yousafzai, raised in the Swat Valley, said in the journal that she is a TV addict who watched sitcoms like Mind Your Language and Ugly Betty to learn English and understand Western society.

She's turned her interest in television into more than a pastime by founding her production firm, Extracurricular Productions. She wanted to have her "name there" in media such as television shows, documentaries, and films.

It's always a challenge for me to identify my occupation on the many forms that require it. To me, storytelling and activism go hand in hand. "After more than a decade of activism, I've come to realise that we shouldn't restrict activism to the work of NGOs alone; there's also the element of influencing people's thoughts and ideas — and that takes a little more effort," said the 25-year-old.

She talked about how she'd "love to do" a documentary or film with Angelina Jolie, a Hollywood actress known for her work as an actor and a humanitarian, in which they could "share the experiences of children, refugees, or women and girls."

Yousafzai inked a multiyear programming agreement with Apple TV+ last year to bring dramas, comedies, documentaries, animation, and children's shows to the table, hoping to inspire people worldwide.

"In Hollywood, you're often told (either directly or through implication) that the characters are too young, too brown, or too Muslim, or that if one programme about a person of colour is done, then that's it — there's no reason to make another one. Yousafzai has stated that this must alter.

A woman, a Muslim, a Pashtun, a Pakistani, and a person of colour, here's my introduction: "I am all of these things. In addition, I've recently finished watching Succession, Ted Lasso, and Severance, all of which have predominantly white casts, with a disproportionate number of white guys. I believe that if audiences can watch those shows, they should also be able to watch shows created by people of colour, produced by people of colour, directed by people of colour, and starring people of colour. It's doable, and I'll see to it that it happens.

She has expressed a desire to give a platform to new Muslim women authors and directors. The stuff she presents should be enjoyable so that "people fall in love with the characters and have the nicest time together," but she also wants to confront some preconceptions in society.

Yousafzai has stated her intention to spread awareness about the plight of refugees. She has stated that she does not visit refugee camps to act as an "ambassador or representative" of the people there, as they are more than capable of speaking for themselves, but rather to "bring attention so that the camera is switched towards them."

She hints at a future in politics and possibly returning to Pakistan. Still, as a leader rather than an activist, her book, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. She earned her Politics, Philosophy, and Economics degree from Oxford University two years ago. This is the same major that has produced no less than four British prime leaders.

Her response to a question about her plans was, "I don't want to enter into British politics for sure," as reported by Variety. Yousafzai elaborated that she sees the fight for girls' education and gender equality as a launching pad into politics. No promises, but I doubt my future holds serving as a nation's prime minister. What happens next? Maybe that's also political.

On October 9, 2018, it will have been ten years since Yousafzai narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by the Taliban when she was just 15 years old. Attacking her as she walked home from school in Mingora, militants later claimed they were motivated by their hatred of her pro-peace, anti-Taliban, and secular stance.

The Paris Fashion Week Is Back in Full Swing

The organisers are assisting brands in reducing their environmental impact at the exhibitions and have established a fund to aid new designers.

PARIS — Now that Paris Fashion Week is in full swing again, organisers at the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode are facing the myriad logistical hurdles of planning a nine-day schedule for 105 different labels.

There are 67 events and 41 talks scheduled for spring 2023, and several ways their environmental impact might be mitigated. Short-term concerns include bolstering exhibition venue security in the face of an influx of unwelcome attendees.

A national strike has been announced for Thursday, which may disrupt public transportation and add to the city's severe traffic congestion and lack of cabs.

The newly elected president of the federation, Bruno Pavlovsky, and the executive president of the governing body for French fashion, Pascal Morand, are working together to meet the challenges of the post-pandemic era, in which brands face a new set of problems that threaten to derail their recoveries, such as rising inflation, energy shortages, and ongoing supply chain disruptions.

In an interview with WWD, Pavlovsky and Morand noted a "quite energetic resurgence" in recent fashion weeks. That's encouraging news. Since fashion has once again assumed a central position in the global economy, this year's Paris Fashion Week will be, as usual, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Both executives mentioned that business travellers from China were hitting the road again for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began. "It's a modest and regulated opening, but it's happening," said Chanel SAS President and Fashion President, Pavlovsky. For example, "I've had more business meetings with Chinese executives in the previous two months than in the last two years."

A slew of Asian labels, like Mame Kurogouchi and Noir Kei Ninomiya, have returned to the Paris runways for the first time since 2020.

The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode has just chosen to extend an assistance fund for emerging designers put in place during the epidemic to ensure that smaller domestic and international firms have the finances to show in the French capital.

According to Morand, the yearly budget of the federation is close to one million euros, and this does not include funding granted by the DEFI. This organisation encourages the growth of the French fashion industry.

"These are the spark plugs that get manufacturers to display in Paris," he said, noting that the Palais de Tokyo contemporary art museum also offers designers a discounted show space and the Sphere showroom.

Since the world is constantly changing, there will always be valid reasons to back upstart brands. It was COVID-19 only a second ago, and now we're discussing costs. Today, it's crucial that Paris retain its charm," Pavlovsky said. Putting on a show or making a collection is becoming more complex and expensive in the current economic climate. Brands shouldn't be able to be stopped from exhibiting here because of these problems.

Morand remarked that 56 foreign labels, ranging from the new wave of Chinese design to high-profile newcomers like the United Kingdom's Victoria Beckham and Australia's Zimmermann, will participate in the spring 2023 women's presentations in Paris. The statement "we are objectively, by far, the most worldwide fashion week" was made.

One trend gaining steam is the increasing number of people who travel specifically to watch shows, raising safety concerns. According to Morand, "March was the turning point, with massive groups of young people."

Since the brands are helping to feed the phenomena by progressively opening their displays to the public, the federation is working with Parisian officials and the police to ensure everything goes off without a hitch. Morand emphasised the importance of sufficient safety measures for all homes, especially those less used to dealing with security difficulties.

Pavlovsky argued that the democratisation of fashion presentations might have become too extreme following the pandemic.

Some alterations, I believe, will be necessary for Paris. Many people tried to enter concerts without invitations or forged invitations in July," he stated. We still need to coordinate with the local law enforcement and private security firms, which is incompatible with throwing open the doors to the shows to everyone.

Behind the scenes, with the help of measurement methods established with professional services firm PwC, the fashion group is assisting businesses in lowering the negative impact of their events and collections on the environment.

About 120 key performance indicators (KPIs) are calculated by the events tool, which spans the entire event lifecycle from contracting a production company to finalising wardrobe and technical details via digital channels. Unofficially released in September 2018, use increased to 57% among participating sponsors for the autumn 2022 shows.

According to Morand, "the goal is to achieve 80% participation for September." Collections, a solution geared at companies with yearly revenues of 20 million to 30 million euros, will be released by the end of the year.

However, Pavlovsky emphasised that sustainability was a primary goal for the federation and that it was committed to raising awareness, educating and assisting participating businesses. He anticipated that operationally substantial change would likely take five years.

I'd like to see the Paris Fashion Week carbon and CSR impact published one day. We're currently in the building phase, and that can only be done with everyone's help," he stated, emphasising that a paradigm shift is necessary for ecological design. A more extended period is needed since "it's more expensive. It shouldn't come at the expense of innovation."

Additionally, the federation is involved in European politics as a voting member of the technical secretariat for the worldwide apparel and footwear sector, developing the European Commission's Product Environmental Footprint methodology. In this capacity, it advocates for excluding luxury items from the same environmental labelling as fast fashion to highlight their unique qualities.

Reducing the length of Paris Fashion Week by a few days could help reduce its environmental impact and address the concerns of those who believe the event costs too much. However, Pavlovsky dismissed the idea, arguing that it would be detrimental to some participants to condense the schedule further.

It's crucial to provide equal opportunity for all. It's what draws people to Paris, he continued. People won't stay if you spread all the big houses across two days. Currently, it isn't easy. The federation makes sure each designer and firm has a Fashion Week venue. We must also urge as many journalists as possible to stay long-term.

There were screaming matches' between Meghan Markle's staff

The accusation that Meghan Markle "destroyed her royal aides before Megxit" is baseless.

People say that Meghan Markle is to blame for the stress experienced by "nervous" staff members who " have to struggle on Harry and Meghan's behalf while accepting all this vitriol from them."

This understanding is revealed in a new book by Courtiers author Valentine Low.

The book claims to have information from an insider who describes Meghan Markle's "screaming" at her courtiers.

Many folks were in shattered states. The insider was cited as saying, "Young women were broken by their behaviour."

Mr Low elaborated on one critical incident that deeply affected a young female employee, saying she felt "criticised" and "hurt."

Don't be anxious. Markle allegedly told the Palace employee, "If there was literally anyone else I could ask to do this, I would be asking them instead of you," according to the source.

She hasn't answered the phone. I'm shaking with fear. The very thought of this is laughable. After the staffer failed to reach Meghan Markle by phone, they reportedly said to a friend, "I can't stop shaking." "

This follows recent reports that Meghan Markle 'berated' her assistant while getting ready for her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

Once every ten minutes, I'd have to walk outside and hear her and Harry yell at me. "I can't believe you've done this," he said. You have failed to meet my expectations. They asked, "What were you thinking?" according to reports. We're talking hours here: "It lasted a good while."

A friend of Meghan Markle's former private secretary Samantha Cohen said, "Sam always made clear that it was like working for a couple of teenagers." Markle is known to have screamed at Cohen. They were insurmountable, and they tested her to her breaking point. Her mental health was abysmal.

Despite accepting their criticism, "she was always having to struggle on Harry and Meghan's behalf."

Despite being snubbed at dinner, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle receive an olive branch from King Charles and Prince William.

Despite the dinner snub from the Duke of Sussex at Queen Elizabeth's funeral last week, King Charles and Prince William honored Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and extended an olive branch to them.

After reportedly being forbidden from joining the royal family on the day of the queen's death on September 8, Prince Harry allegedly skipped supper with his father, King Charles, and estranged brother Prince William at Balmoral, as reported by The Sun.

According to the source, Prince Charles nonetheless asked Meghan and Harry for a walkabout with him and Kate Middleton to assess memorials to the Queen at Windsor Castle despite the dinner snub.

Additionally, Harry was permitted by King Charles to wear his military uniform to a vigil. His first public address as monarch also referred to a happy marriage.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Meghan and Harry have returned to California with their children Archie and Lilibet after their lengthy visit to the United Kingdom.
