Meghan Markle’s single-word response when asked about first meeting Kate Middleton

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle engaged in a conversation with the BBC, and the Duchess of Sussex revealed what it was like to have a first-hand encounter with her sister-in-law, the now Princess of Wales.

Meeting your partner’s family for the first time is daunting – not least for Meghan Markle, who had to introduce herself to royalty when she first started dating Harry. And the Duchess of Sussex revealed her first impression of her sister-in-law Kate after meeting her at a private dinner she hosted with her then husband-to-be.

Harry spotted Meghan on Instagram in 2016 before asking her out to dinner at Soho House in London. From there, the couple went on more dates before spending a week camping in the wilderness together. After Harry and Meghan’s engagement in 2017, the couple gave an interview to the BBC’s Mishal Hussein and recalled Meghan’s first meeting with Kate.

Harry said at the time, “I mean, I’ve been seeing her for a while, when I literally didn’t tell anybody at all.

We managed to get that in a couple of, well, quite a few times and Catherine has been absolutely wonderful. “And then William was longing to meet her, and so was Catherine,” she said, “and she was also,” and she was also,” Wonderful. “And then, with a one-word answer chipped in, we also managed to get that.

She praised the Royal Family’s warm embrace of her and recalled a special occasion meeting with the late Queen.

Meghan responded, “I think I have a deep understanding and unmatched respect for being able to have that time with her because I can meet him through his lens, not just with his honor and respect for her as the monarch, but with his love for her as his grandmother.” And we’ve had a truly incredible woman, she’s incredible.

Many people assumed that Meghan and Kate would be able to reconcile after their first wedding to the Royal Family. However, it appears that because of their starkly different personalities, the two women never really get together, and Meghan later admitted to having a “jarring” moment when she first saw Kate.

Meghan explained in episode two of the six-part Harry &amp, Meghan Netflix that she remembered when Will and Kate visited for dinner and that she had a pair of ripped jeans and bare feet. I gave hugs. Although I’ve always been a hugger, I didn’t realize how jarring that was for many Brits.

“I guess I quickly realized that the formality on the outside had a long history inside. When you close the door and say “You can relax now,” there is a forward-facing way of being, but the formality persists on both sides. And I found that to be surprising.

Meanwhile, Harry went into more detail surrounding the two women in his memoir Spare, as he recounts several times that his wife, Meghan, seemed at loggerheads with his sister-in-law, Kate in the early days of their romance.

He claims that Kate “grimaced” when the duchess borrowed her lip gloss after arguing with the two women over bridesmaid dresses at his wedding and that Meghan was in tears. And he describes Kate’s request for an apology from Meghan after Prince Louis’ birth was refuted by Meghan.

Harry also identifies the precise moment at which he realized Meghan and Kate might not have been able to agree during the same dinner. Harry discusses Wimbledon and the legal drama Suits in Spare, in which Meghan describes how she cooked and how everything seemed to be going well.

The only thing I could think of was the obvious difference between the two women’s fashion choices, which both seemed to notice. For example, barefoot and ripped jeans. Kate: flawlessly executed. I thought there was no such thing.

Chris Stark left fuming over awkward Scott Mills and ‘rude’ Jennifer Aniston prank

ExCLUSIVE: In an interview with Hollywood legend Jennifer Aniston, radio legend Chris Stark revealed how his “worst nightmare” actually came true.

Chris Stark was left close to tears after an awkward run-in with Jennifer Aniston. The former BBC Radio 1 legend is no stranger to interviewing some of the biggest names in entertainment but he admitted his chat with Jennifer was his “worst nightmare”.

The 38-year-old had previously sat down with Jennifer, 56, while she was plugging We’re The Millers, during which they chatted about strip clubs, had a cheeky flirt, and Chris even told the Friends icon she was on most men’s “list” of the five hottest women in the world.

So Chris immediately jumped at the chance to see her again in 2014 while she was promoting Horrible Bosses 2. He was unaware that Scott Mills, his former co-star, had pulled a daring prank, though. Jen was secretly told by Scott, 52, to be the “worst interviewee ever.”

However, Jennifer had no idea that Chris had consumed the alcohol the night before their conversation. When Chris inquired, “Your character Julie is so forward, I’m interested to know how you would make the first move, if you wanted to, with a guy,” things started to look a little off.

Secretly, it was revealed that Jennifer was the worst interviewee.

Jennifer, in on the joke, instantly became cold, responding: “First of all, I don’t think that’s an appropriate question, I’m also committed to somebody. I don’t hit on people,” as Chris was left flustered trying to cover his tracks. Recalling the moment, he exclusively told the Mirror: “It was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life.

I turned up to interview Jennifer after having a great night out the night before. She had previously been interviewed, and the result was a huge success (it received over three million views). I wasn’t aware that I was a prank at the time. Scott kind of planned how to make her interview difficult.

Jennifer Aniston was there waiting for me because it had just begun, and she was like, “Oh my Watford guy, how are you? ” and the interview eventually turned out to be the most awkward.” Chris continued, “I was feeling extra sensitive and I wanted to cry and have the ground swallow me up because I had this big night out.”

“Fortunately, there was a moment when Scott entered, and I learned it was a prank. The most embarrassing, awkward moment I’ve ever been a part of, waiting for that moment for ten or so, thinking I might have somehow upset Jennifer Aniston. “Thank God it was a prank,” he said.

However, Chris, who now hosts the Capital FM Breakfast Show, acknowledges that despite having “embarrassing moments throughout his career, he no longer feels embarrassed about them.” You don’t need to be embarrassed, he said, so I think you can learn that everything goes on.

Due to having to wake up at 4am every weekday for work, Chris recently discussed looking after his own health and sleep. He explained that I wouldn’t really, I don’t know, or that sleep is something that I would value so highly.

He acknowledges, however, that the campaign highlighted the importance of a sound sleep schedule. In conversations with people of all ages, Chris came across the phrase “bed chemistry”: how compatible a person is with the person they share a bed with. He laughed as he reflected on his early wake-ups, but I’ve come to the conclusion that my wife and I are not particularly sleepy.

He continued, “Linking up with Dreams seemed like a really obvious choice and a really funny thing to explore, but it kind of led to my real life.” Chris acknowledges that his family’s reaction to his wake-up call is a difficult one because his body experiences a “massive shock” when his alarm goes off.

He stated that while getting up and ready for his day at work, everyone at the company appreciates getting some rest. “I’ve always appreciated getting some sleep,” he said. But I’m trying to kind of improve it since joining Dreams in every way possible.

The broadcaster acknowledges that his new partnership has “opened up a few questions” about his health issues from not getting enough sleep. He added that “if you are going to have fewer hours and you can’t help it,” it’s important that you get a good night’s sleep. That’s something I’m trying to think about and pay closer attention to, and probably something I’m at least aware of.

Despite his early starts, Chris believes he’s not “disciplined enough” to have a sensible evening routine as he doesn’t want to “miss out on life.” He said: “It’s important to sound awake but it’s also important to feel really kind of plugged into the world. I’ve had times where I’ve been doing this breakfast show, where it sort of feels like you might have lost yourself a little bit or rightly so, napping all afternoon or not present seeing mates.

It’s all about balance, and I think I’ve struggled with balance while doing this show, and I do worry about missing out on some things. But right now, I’m feeling more at ease with it. However, Chris acknowledges that his new job on the program and the Capital Breakfast show have “fallen in love.”

As part of Chris Stark’s partnership with Dreams for their Bed Chemistry campaign, which explores how sleep-compatible Brits are with their partners, this interview was conducted.

Baxter writes off Exeter’s worst-ever season

Rob Baxter, the manager of Exeter, has stated that he will not repeat the team’s worst season to date.

In their final Premiership game of the year, the Chiefs defeated third-placed Sale 30-26.

Exeter ended up in the top flight with just four wins all season, which was an improvement on some games this year.

It marks the conclusion of an arduous campaign for Exeter, which saw the club sack three coaches and suffer a 79-17 defeat at Gloucester one month ago.

When asked about his plans for the upcoming campaign, Baxter replied, “I’m not going to refer to this season at all.”

“My expectations for them going forward are what I’m going to refer to.”

In the past three or four weeks, I’ve only mentioned that my expectations of them are higher than their expectations of themselves are.

Since retiring long-serving assistants Rob Hunter and Ali Hepher following the defeat at Gloucester, Baxter has taken on a more hands-on coaching position.

The end of a season saw Exeter lose all four of their European games and draw just four league games, two of which were played against Saracens and Northampton, who had lost many of their international stars.

Exeter have since improved and had a chance to win the game against a Sale side, who knew a win would set up a fourth play-off campaign in the last five years.

“A lot of teams need a dedicated starting point,” Baxter continued. “Gloversburg was a dedicated starting point for us.”

No one can enter my office while I’m talking to them and say, “Everything is fine, I don’t understand why we’re reacting.”

You don’t need anyone to have second opinions about whether what is on the field is good enough. You do.

Messi Double As Miami Hit Five Past Columbus

Inter Miami warmed up for the Club World Cup in style with a 5-1 victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday in Major League Soccer with two goals and two more as a result.

On June 14, Miami will face Egyptian and African champion Al Ahly, and after a significant run of form, they have found their touch once more in their previous two MLS games.

The tensions between Javier Mascherano’s team and Montreal were eased by a 4-2 win over Montreal in midweek, which saw Messi and Luis Suarez each score two goals.

Miami were aided by some unusually loose defending from Columbus, who has been one of the league’s top three regulars over the past three seasons, but Messi and Company were quickly able to open up space for them.

In the 13th minute, Argentine Tadeo Allende opened the scoring by sending a long ball over the top to Messi, who had dropped deep into midfield. The forward confidently slotted home.

When Columbus’ Guatemalan goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen hesitated with the ball at his feet and passed it to Messi, the World Cup winner attempted to chip him before the Guatemalan’s Nicholas Hagen, who had been injured, then gave Miami the second goal.

Hagen scrambled to get an extended palm on the ball, but the shot veered into the net, leaving the visitors in severe trouble.

Sergio Busquets spotted the Crew defense were asleep and floated a pass over the top to Messi, who then ran onto the advancing Hagen in the 24th minute, to steal the lead.

In the 58th minute, Cesar Ruvalcaba gave Columbus a glimmer of hope with a thundering header, but Miami had already reclaimed their three-goal lead six minutes later.

Messi broke through the middle before feeding Telasco Segovia, who slipped the ball to Suarez, who buried it into the bottom corner.

When he fed substitute Fafa Picault, who had already broken away before a clinical finish, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner was the creator once more.

Argentina, who have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, are currently away in Chile on Thursday and host Colombia on June 10, with Messi now taking them on international duty.
