Queen’s 10-word olive branch to Meghan Markle in attempt ‘to bend the rules’

According to current research, Queen Elizabeth II did not want Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to leave the royal family to start a new life in California, but the monarch was unable to stop the so-called “Megxit.”

Queen Elizabeth II tried desperately to stop “Megxit” – even saying to Meghan Markle: “You can go back to acting if you want to”.

But the 10-word offer was not enough to prevent Prince Harry and Meghan quitting royal duties for their new life in California in 2020. Harry, 40, is now American resident and has severed links with the royal family, the crown and the country.

His grandmother, with whom he shared a close bond, didn’t want Harry and Meghan to leave, according to Paul Burrell, a former servant of the royal family. He said: “There is no doubt in my mind that she didn’t want Harry and Meghan to leave. She did not want ‘Megxit’ as it was dubbed, as she knew they would be estranged from her world.

Meghan even received a message from The Queen saying, “You can go back to acting if you want to.” She offered to talk to Meghan whenever she encountered problems, and she agreed to bend the rules.

Meghan, 44, has appeared in numerous dramas over the years, including Castle, Fringe, and Suits. Prior to joining The Firm, she also appeared in roles in movies like Horrible Bosses.

Meghan and Harry decided to leave after the Queen took her on her first engagement to teach her the ropes and ensured she settled into royal life. However, things didn’t go as planned.

She (the Queen) wanted them to stay, according to Mr. Burrell, who was nearly 60 years his senior. Her Majesty and her grandson had lived in different parts of the world. How was Harry’s problems understood by the Queen? She wasn’t able to.

They did, however, have a special relationship, particularly because Harry was a bit of a joker. He didn’t always follow the rules. She disliked the Queen, but everyone around him was very stiff and starchy, despite how relaxed and funny he was.

Harry is set to visit the UK for the first time in nearly six months this week, as he has an awards’ ceremony in his diary. Speculation of a reunion with dad King Charles – and therefore a flirt with royal life again – is growing.

But in a piece for the Daily Mail today, Mr Burrell claims the picture looks bleak. He wrote: “Harry is now in an exile of his own making… It is such a shame because William and Harry with their wives were the ‘Fab Four’ and certainly for a time Harry and Meghan were ‘the golden couple’. They had everything.”

Inside Rebekah Vardy’s fresh start as Jamie signs for new team Cremonese in Italy

After spending 13 years at Leicester City, where he won the Premier League and the FA Cup, Jamie Vardy signed a deal with Cremonese, a Serie A side in Italy.

Rebekah Vardy is preparing to start a new life in Italy.

WAG Rebekah Vardy sees her family’s new adventure – in a cultural Italian city – as an opportunity to “slide into a new social circle,” sources claim.

The media personality has moved with her family to the nation for a “fresh start” after Jamie, 38, penned a deal with Serie A side Cremonese. The striker’s big-money contract at Leicester City expired, marking an end to a 13-year stint with the Foxes, during which he won the Premier League and FA Cup.

Rebekah, 43, is alleged to have wished for more glitz with a recent appearance at another “really glitzy club.” However, the Cremonese are a little-known team that recently received a promotion to the top flight of Italy, and they are reported to have significantly less money than Leicester City’s recent wealth.

One source close to Rebekah said: “Becky desperately wanted a glamorous big move to a really glitzy club. She had dreamed of Inter Miami, hanging out with Victoria Beckham would be like a dream for her… The Miami lifestyle – nightclubs, celebrities, parties – is way more her. Cremona, though, is all crumbling old buildings and culture.”

Interest in Jamie was high, though, with star-studded Championship club Wrexham pursuing the attacker. This move would have offered Rebekah the opportunity to buddy up with actress Blake Lively as her husband Ryan Reynolds is the co-owner of Wrexham. Birmingham City, owned by US superstar and former American footballer Tom Brady, were also reportedly interesting in signing Jamie.

The veteran forward signed a deal with Cremona, which is known for its musical traditions and is the birthplace of Antonio Stradivari, a legendary Italian violin maker. For instance, it is certainly a striking contrast to the hustle and bustle of Miami, but Inter Miami never really made a move.

The insider continued: “Becky is used to the limelight, but nobody in Cremona will have the first idea who she is.” They spoke to the Daily Mail, which also reports both Rebekah and Jamie were desperately keen on “fresh starts” despite his success with Leicester City.

And Cremonese supporters have already dubbed their new signing “the king” as a result of this and his three-year spell with England. Jamie will be crucial in Cremonese’s desperate effort to avoid being dropped this season, according to local media.

He was even invited to Ozzy’s final farewell show in Birmingham just days before his death. Ozzy sadly died aged 76 at his home in Buckinghamshire, 17 days after taking to the stage at Villa Park.

Following the sad news, Yungblud shared a touching social media post where he said: “I will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage.”

Before Ozzy’s passing, Yungblud performed at his farewell show.

This weekend, Yungblud will join Aerosmith in performing a tribute to Ozzy at the MTV VMAs. On Sunday, Long Island, New York, will host the Video Music Awards, which will honor Ozzy a lot.

In addition to performing some of Ozzy’s greatest tracks, Yungblud will collaborate with Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Nuno Bettencourt on Extreme. On Monday night at 9 p.m. on Comedy Central, UK viewers can watch the event.

Yungblud led a supergroup that included Bettencourt, II from Sleep Token, and Adam Wakeman while performing at Ozzy’s farewell show. Yungblud has pledged to play Black Sabbath’s Changes at every show “for the rest of my life,” according to Yungblud.

Yungblud posted a number of candid photos of himself chatting and smiling alongside the music icon on July 22, just as it was revealed that Ozzy had passed away. He added, “I didn’t think you would leave the room because you were so full of life and your laugh was infectious.”

They appear to know things that we don’t, though as legends are written. You will always be with me wherever I go on stage, with me wherever I go.

The most priceless thing I have is your cross around my neck. You once asked if you could do anything for me, and I responded with the same answer, and I’ll say it again, that the music would suffice for us all.

You took us on an adventure that began everything. I’m truly devastated. The best of all time admired you. Yungblud described how he was battling his death two days later.

The singer of “I Think I’m Okay” admitted that “I’m trying to compute the last few days and I’m completely shattered.” You have been my North Star from the moment I was misunderstood as a child to the moment when people thought I was just a little too much or strange in my life and career.

You all gave me a path to run down and helped me when people would turn their nose up, in my opinion, your wife and your family. You sure brought the world’s light, according to him when he said, “For the prince of darkness, you sure brought it all.” Ozzy, I love you.

Former Love Island contestant Liam Reardon has made his first Instagram appearance since his split from Millie Court, hinting at a era of reflection and focus following the breakup.

The 26-year-old reality star had been absent from his Instagram grid for nearly three weeks after the second shock split from Millie, 28. The pair first met on Love Island in 2021, briefly broke up, and reconciled a year later before ultimately going their separate ways again.

According to Liam’s most recent posts, he seems to be focusing on fitness to deal with separation. On his Instagram feed, he shared two photos of a morning run.

The sunrise was seen over a bridge with a pale blue sky, and Liam was seen wearing a red running jacket and boxy sunglasses in another image. He added: “Happy Friday People! I needed that sun on my run this morning,” along with an emoji that reads “I needed that sun on my run this morning.”

He also shared a photo of himself running with friend Shane Williams at a charity event, indicating that he is putting his energy into both being fit and giving back to the neighborhood. Fans cannot comment or ask questions directly; however, the posts were shared as stories.

Meanwhile, Millie has remained active online, sharing holiday snaps from Greece in stylish, figure-hugging outfits. The former reality star has been enjoying some time in the sun and maintaining her social media presence since the breakup.

Outside the world of Instagram, Liam has returned to his day job as a bricklayer, stepping back from the glitz and glamour of reality television.

In stark contrast, Millie continues to advance her brand in beauty and fashion, working with well-known names like ASOS.

After the split, Liam is focusing on his wellbeing, according to a source close to him. They claimed that “He’s keeping busy with work and fitness.” He is “taking time to look after himself and engaging in activities that promote happiness.”

It comes after Millie’s friends have opened up about her “worst nightmare scenario” following her second break-up from Liam.

The Love Island star is reportedly panicking that her ex will appear on the next season of Love Island All Stars.

The pair met and fell in love on ITV2’s popular dating show in 2021 and were ultimately crowned the winners, despite Liam kissing Lillie Haynes in Casa Amor. Liam’s actions away from the villa were so shocking, the show altered their format to allow Lillie, a dumped Casa girl, to come back to share what happened with Millie.

However, Millie and Liam were successful in winning over the public. They remained apart until their initial split was revealed in July 2022, but they rekindled contact a year later.

However, it was reported that Millie was “gutted” after Liam abruptly ended their relationship this week.

After their first breakup, Liam agreed to E4’s Celebs Go Dating, and now an insider has revealed that Millie worries Liam will sign up for Love Island All Stars, which kicks off its third season in January.

Millie’s family member described it as the “worst nightmare scenario” for her and said it would be difficult for her to see her ex-boyfriend again.

They said Liam will make it very painful for her to watch Love Island All Stars in January because she has told her friends. She is persuaded to do it because she knows his employers will want him, and he signed up for Celebs Go Dating after their last disagreement in 2022.

She detested the fact that he was dating women on that, and she couldn’t handle it again. Because they met and fell in love at the villa, Love Island All Stars would be even worse for her. She would have the worst nightmare scenario.

Liam’s friend has remarked that he isn’t moving too quickly back to the villa or any reality TV.” They insisted that Liam is not even considering any other TV offers at the moment, especially dating ones.

He regrets doing Celebs Go Dating after the previous split, so he shouldn’t be too soon to return to the villa. However, they also suggested that he might change his mind; “Despite that, it will still be four months away and there are many things that can happen.”

Sharon Osbourne’s widow, who passed away suddenly in July, has been left completely heartbroken and distraught. She is now faced with making a terrible decision about her future.

Ozzy Osbourne has been laid to rest beneath a crabapple tree in the gardens of his Buckinghamshire home, leaving widow Sharon Osbourne facing a painful decision about where she will now live.

The Black Sabbath frontman, who died in July aged 75, had long expressed a wish to be buried at Welders House, the Georgian mansion he and Sharon purchased in 1993.

The couple split their time between the UK and the US for decades.

The singer wrote in his 2009 autobiography, “I want to be put in the ground, in a nice garden somewhere, with a tree planted over my head. A preferred crabapple tree.

Early this summer, Sharon, 72, granted her husband’s wishes, setting up a burial site within the family estate.

Despite her best efforts, she reportedly remains conflicted about the choice. Sharon now has to choose between raising their three children, Aimee, Jack, and Kelly, and moving to Los Angeles, where they have five grandchildren.

Sharon is having difficulty with the situation, according to a family source close to the family. She is heartbroken because she anticipated spending much longer with Ozzy in the UK. She is now a widow, she claims the insider, and she is sad right now.

She faces having children, but it’s so heartbreaking to leave Ozzy cold in the ground. She is so dedicated to Ozzy that she can’t cut herself in half and be in both places.

The children have already left America and are back on their feet. Sharon’s grandchildren are being raised across the Atlantic, with the exception of Jack, 38, who has four daughters, and Kelly, 39, who has a young son.

Despite her strong ties to Ozzy’s grave, Sharon, according to friends, may soon decide to move back to California.

The source claimed that “She is in a state of pure destruction.”

“Her friends hope that she will make the decision to return to America very soon,” she said. She won’t want to be celebrating by herself because her birthday is soon approaching. She needs to give her beloved family a hug.

Ozzy and Sharon had been together for more than 40 years. The Osbournes, who became well-known worldwide after their MTV reality series debut in the early 2000s, came to an end with his burial.

Ozzy’s untimely death shocked the world on July 22, just weeks after his huge charity concert in his beloved Birmingham after he finally made it home after years.

Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz’s fling ‘turning into something more’ as things ramp up

Actress Zoe Kravitz and pop star Harry Styles have been caught looking cosy in New York City, Rome, and Brooklyn, claiming they are “joking themselves” if they don’t care about the chemistry.

Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz seem to not be able to get enough of each other as they were spotted getting cosy on another outing while globe trotting. The pair, who are doing nothing to fight off romance rumours, stepped out in Brooklyn together this week arm in arm.

It comes after they were first spotted on what looked like a date in Soho, London where they were “snogging like teenagers”. Just days later, Harry, 31, and Zoe, 36, jetted to Rome where they linked arms and took in the sights.

Batman actress Zoe is said to be “whisked off her feet” by One Direction’s Harry. Their latest outing together fuelled rumours even more as Harry was snapped with his arm around Zoe while they walked down a street.

Harry and Zoe have kept a tight-lipped about the potential romance, but it has been suggested that something is brewing between them.

“They both like each other and friends don’t know who likes each other more but it is turning into something more than just a casual situation,” a source told the Daily Mail. “They might not want to think it is, but surprise surprise, it is getting interesting.”

They continued, “They are just kidding themselves because their friends see this could be something special and if they want to make it that, they should.”

The source continued, “There is no reason for Zoe and Harry to play games.” Harry and Zoe have previously engaged in high-profile romances, with Channing Tatum splitting from Magic Mike in October.

After three years of dating, they ended their relationship. After spending 14 months together, Harry and Taylor Russell split last year.

He had also had a fling with now-engaged Taylor Swift, who is close friends with Zoe. Some fans have feared Zoe could get on the wrong side of Taylor, who has previously expelled members of her circle when loyalties changed.

Harry has been called a “romantic” and treats anyone who dates him “so well” as the pair get closer.

Another source told The Sun that Zoe considers Harry to be “cool without trying” and even compared him to her famous father Lenny Kravitz.

Continue reading the article.

When most people are trying so hard to break through or stay relevant, Zoe believes Harry is cool without trying, which is a very attractive quality in Hollywood.

She finds it refreshing when Harry treats everyone the same, regardless of whether they are famous or not. Being like that and having a famous father in his life, Zo was taught the virtues of being kind and never be a diva.
