Prince Harry Leaving Royal Family For Meghan Markle?

Prince Harry never had to leave the royal family to marry Meghan Markle, contrary to a report from a year ago. This time last year, Gossip Cop busted a tabloid for an entirely false cover story that claimed Prince Harry was giving up his title. Now it’s abundantly clear our debunking was correct.


The OK! cover released on July 5, 2017 declared, “Harry Leaving The Royal Family For Love!” According to the untrue article, Prince Harry was going to be “forced to relinquish his crown for the woman of his dreams” because Queen Elizabeth “rejected his bid to marry” Markle. An alleged “pal” was quoted by the magazine as saying, “Harry is now faced with the choice between his country and the woman he loves, and, right now, England is on the losing side.”


The outlet and the supposed friend went on to assert Prince Harry was on the “precipice” of “bid[ding] the monarchy farewell.” At the time, Gossip Cop pointed out that this completely contradicted a prior cover story from the publication, in which it was claimed the palace had “confirmed” a “royal wedding” was in the works for Harry and Markle with the queen’s approval. Of course, Kensington Palace had never actually “confirmed” anything, which is why the tabloid was now trying to dupe readers with this tale about Prince Harry abandoning the monarchy in order to be with the actress.


But this narrative was just as untrue as the wedding one. When Gossip Cop spoke with a contact at Kensington Palace, who wasn’t authorized to comment on the record, we were assured these claims about the queen preventing Prince Harry from marrying Markle were “pure rubbish.” And time has since shown our reporting was entirely correct.


When Prince Harry and Markle became engaged a few months later in November, Queen Elizabeth was “delighted,” Buckingham Palace said. Then in March, the queen gave her official consent for Prince Harry and Markle to be married, and in May, the Instrument of Consent was formally released by the royal family. Only days later, Markle was officially welcomed into the family with Queen Elizabeth in attendance at the royal wedding.


Since then, Prince Harry and Markle, who were given the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex upon their nuptials, have participated in a handful of royal engagements. That’s even included the former “Suits” star going on a day trip with the queen. Quite evidently, Queen Elizabeth never “rejected” their “bid to marry,” and Prince Harry never left the royal family, just as Gossip Cop rightly reported 365 days ago.

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.

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.
