Prince Charles" friend Nicky Haslam calls Meghan Markle"s family "common"

AN old school friend of Prince Charles has reportedly labelled Meghan Markle’s family as “common” and her dad Thomas as a “huge lump”.

Nicky Haslam, who was born to one of Queen Victoria’s goddaughters, went to Eton with Prince Charles and socialised with Princess Diana, reportedly told the Daily Mail the new Duchess of Sussex’s family was “frightfully common”.

The newspaper said Haslam also told of his apparent relief that Meghan’s dad did not attend the wedding at Windsor Castle on May 19.

Thomas Markle, 73, was forced to miss walking his daughter down the aisle after suffering a heart attack days after being caught posing for staged paparazzi photos.

According to the Daily Mail, Haslam added: “It would have been awful if that huge lump [Meghan’s dad] had been there.

“The royals probably don’t quite know how to deal with them.”

But Haslem didn’t leave his vitriol just for Meghan’s beleaguered family; he also reportedly had a crack at her wedding dress.

Haslam told the newspaper he “didn’t very much like” her $360,000 Givenchy bridal dress by British designer Clare Waight Keller.

Reportedly saying “it didn’t fit”, he added: “It should have been made of thinner stuff, it seemed to be made of concrete”.

But cabaret singer and former designer Haslam did reportedly reserve praise for one member of Meghan’s family — mum Doria Ragland.

He said: “One person who wasn’t common was her mother”.

These days Haslam makes a living as a cabaret singer.

Clarence House declined to comment on his remarks.

Meghan Markle "secretly flew economy to visit best friend"

BEFORE taking in the West End production of Hamilton with Prince Harry and Lin-Manuel Miranda, Meghan Markle secretly flew economy to Toronto to see her best friend, stylist Jessica Mulroney. “Meghan spent three days holed up at Jessica Mulroney and her husband Ben’s home in Toronto,” ABC News royal contributor Omid Scobie revealed. “They spent their days catching up, cooking together and, of course, playing with Jessica’s children, who love their Aunty Meg.” “There was one evening when Meghan and Jessica secretly headed out into the town to meet some of Meghan’s old, good friends,” Scobie added of Markle’s recent Toronto trip . Mulroney, 38, and her daughter, Ivy, served as bridesmaids for the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex in the royal wedding in May, with Mulroney’s sons serving as page boys and carrying Markle’s train. Markle and Mulroney first met when she moved to the Ontario city to film Suits in 2011 and have been inseparable ever since. One trip the California-born royal is

All the Ways Jessica Mulroney"s Star Has Risen In The Six Months Since The Royal Wedding

Pre- royal wedding , most Canadians associated the name Mulroney with conservative politicos and red carpet CanCon.

Here, we trace Jessica Mulroney’s ascension from who’s-that-girl status to mainstream success. May 19, 2018: A Star Is Born Matron of honour “in all but name” is how most royal watchers describe Jessica’s wedding role (which leads to a score of “ Who Is Jessica Mulroney?”  posts).  Vanity Fair   says the entire event is a Markle/Mulroney co-pro , with Meghan consulting Jessica on everything from clothing selections to canapés, while the gossipy folks at  Page Six zeroed in on her “Pippa moment”  (read: #belfie) — which may or may not have been an accident. Either way, the infamy earned Jess a major spike in her  Insta fol

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry"s royal baby rules: 5 unusual traditions the couple will likely follow - Fox News

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are preparing for royal baby No. 1, which is due to arrive by the end of April. And though they"ll be first-time parents, the pair will have the entire British throne to back them up — and give them a few rules to follow along the way. Many royal enthusiasts tend to agree: the pair is unlike any other royal couple, especially compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. However, they have stuck to many royal traditions over the past year, and they"ll likely continue some of the years-old customs their relatives have followed before them. In fact, Markle has already vowed to follow one royal rule — keeping the gender of her first child a secret.
