Prince Harry, Meghan Markle tear apart newly published royal book
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have hit back at claims in the new royal book Betrayal: Power, Deceit And The Fight For The Future Of The Royal Family, which suggests the late Queen Elizabeth II once told a friend that the Duchess of Sussex had “brainwashed” her husband.
The couple described author Tom Bower as having a “fixation” on them and dismissed his theories as far-fetched.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes said on Saturday, 14 March, that Bower “crossed the line from criticism into fixation,” saying he publicly stated the monarchy “depends on actually obliterating the couple from our state of life.”
The statement continued, “He has made a career out of constructing ever more elaborate theories about people he does not know and has never met.
Those interested in facts will look elsewhere; those seeking deranged conspiracy and melodrama know exactly where to find him.”
The book also claimed that Prince William and Princess of Wales considered Meghan “a threat” as tensions escalated before the couple left Britain for a new life in Montecito, California.
According to Bower, Harry was “shocked” by the downfall of Prince Andrew and feared that the future King could strip the Sussexes of all titles.
They are scheduled to return to Australia in mid-April as private citizens, marking their first visit since their 2018 royal tour.
During their time Down Under, they will visit Sydney and Melbourne, reconnect with old acquaintances, and revisit some of their previous ventures, including charity work and speaking engagements.

Andrew, Fergie may reunite in Portugal after King Charles nod
King Charles III’s wise move proves he will never ditch his late mother Queen Elizabeth’s legacy as he makes secret efforts to keep the family united.
The 77-year-old’s nod to his niece Princess Eugenie has raised hopes for Andrew and Fergi’es reunion as speculation about the former Duke and Duchess of York’s future move has escalated, attracting massive media attention.
The much-needed relief for the York family comes at a time when Andrew and Ferguson’s controversies have loomed large over their lives.
A royal expert claims Andrew will not really settle in Sandringham, and Sarah is obviously looking for an escape route after her latest hiding place was discovered.
“I have a suspicion both might end up in Portugal to be close to their grandchildren and lead a simpler, quieter life,” royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner claimed to Fox News Digital.
However, attention has returned to the Yorks after King Charles’ nod to his niece Eugenie as the Palace took the step to embrace the York family and celebrate their joyful moments publicly.
The new arival may releses stress from Beatrice and Eugenie’s disgraced parents, who have been in forced exile since the King stripped them of their royal tiles and patronages..

Lauren Sánchez Bezos trains with NYC firefighters ahead of Met Gala 2026
Lauren Sánchez Bezos took her Met Gala preparation to an unexpected place: the New York Fire Department.
Days before stepping onto the red carpet May 4, the 56 year old journalist and philanthropist joined FDNY for a full training routine, complete with gear drills, smoke filled obstacle courses, and life saving techniques.
“It’s probably the most unique Met prep ever,” Sánchez told Vogue. “It was bananas, but I loved it. I probably lost about two pounds doing it.”
The honourary co chair of this year’s gala shared footage of the workout on Instagram, noting the session benefited the Leary Firefighters Foundation and FDNY Foundation.
“They do not mess around,” she wrote, adding that the experience gave her “a very small glimpse into the strength, discipline, and courage firefighters bring to their work.”
Her training coincided with International Firefighters’ Day on May 4, a detail Sánchez highlighted in her tribute: “Thank you to firefighters everywhere for your service.”
On the Met steps, Sánchez channeled John Singer Sargent’s 1883 painting Madame X in a midnight blue Schiaparelli gown by Daniel Roseberry.
The corseted look featured a jeweled strap draped over one shoulder, paired with Lorraine Schwartz earrings.
Inside the gala, she was joined by husband Jeff Bezos, who kept his look classic in a black tuxedo and bowtie.

Body of abducted Islamabad youth recovered from Mardan; key suspect held
- Victim abducted at gunpoint outside Islamabad residence.
- Main suspect, female accomplice arrested from Swat.
- Police recover the vehicle used in kidnapping incident.
ISLAMABAD: The body of a young man abducted from Islamabad’s F-6 area has been recovered from Mardan, police said on Tuesday, adding that the victim appeared to have been subjected to torture.
According to police, the body was shifted to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), where a post-mortem examination is scheduled to be conducted.
The deceased was identified by his family as 30-year-old Farrukh Afzal. His family claimed that he was abducted in front of his father, adding that the kidnappers opened fire when they attempted to resist.
Speaking to Geo News, a relative of the victim said that when Afzal arrived home late at night at around 12:04am and was getting out of his car, right at that time, three people tried to kidnap him.
“A neighbour called [police], and his parents came out of their house after hearing his screams, but the armed kidnappers took him away,” he said, claiming that the boy could have been saved if the police had taken action at the time and placed blockades.
“However, no action was taken, which is why such an incident took place in the safe city of Islamabad, especially in a place like F-6/1, which is near the Red Zone,” he said, raising the question of how armed people can abduct a boy in Islamabad and kill him in Mardan.
Meanwhile, the police said, the abduction took place when the victim was returning home and opening the gate of his house in Islamabad’s F-6/1 area, where four armed men forcibly took him away in a vehicle after firing shots.
A first information report (FIR) was registered at Kohsar police station on the complaint of the victim’s father.
According to the FIR, the complainant rushed outside after hearing noise around midnight and saw four to five unidentified individuals abducting his son. When he and his neighbours tried to intervene, the suspects opened fire and fled with the victim.
Police said that the main suspect, along with a woman accomplice, was arrested in Swat, while the vehicle used in the kidnapping has also been recovered.
Authorities said investigations are ongoing from multiple angles, and efforts are underway to trace other suspects involved in the incident.
