The real reason Prince Harry wasn’t happy in Meghan Markle’s cringey World Series video

Leave a comment

**Go Dodgers! Prince Harry Was Not So Happy as Meghan Markle Celebrated the 2025 World Series Win**

Prince Harry wasn’t exactly thrilled as his wife, Meghan Markle, and her friend, Kelly McKee Zajfen, celebrated the Los Angeles Dodgers’ victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 World Series on Saturday. Now, it’s clear why.

“Best game ever! Sorry H your team didn’t win but mine did,” Zajfen wrote on her Instagram Stories Sunday while reposting Markle’s video. The message revealed that the Duke of Sussex, 41, is actually a Blue Jays fan.

In Markle’s clip, the former actress, 44, and Zajfen shrieked with excitement and jumped up and down as the Dodgers won Game 7. Markle then quickly moved over to kiss a disappointed-looking Harry, who stayed seated in the recliner chair and laughed at the girls’ celebration.

However, Markle’s critics accused her of “staging” the World Series clip on social media. Comments on X included: “Looks so fake,” “Staged,” and “Always clout chasing.”

One user sarcastically wrote, “This is irritating to see. Fake AF,” while another defended the moment, tweeting, “Of course it was NOT staged because, you know, the camera was perfectly positioned to capture everyone.” Yet another comment read, “Oh my gosh! Look how happy we are and so into each other. See, we have a friend and it’s not my bottle of wine.”

Markle and Harry also attended Game 4 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium last week. They sat together in the first row, with sports legends like Magic Johnson, who holds a 2.3 percent stake in the Dodgers, and Sandy Koufax, who pitched for the MLB team for 12 seasons, sitting behind them.

Later in that game, which saw the Blue Jays beat the Dodgers 6-2, fans reportedly booed Markle and Harry as they were shown on the stadium’s Jumbotron. Despite Harry seemingly rooting for the Blue Jays, he wore a Dodgers baseball cap to the event.

The Netflix stars relocated to California after stepping back from their royal duties and leaving the UK in 2020. They now reside in a $14 million mansion in Montecito with their children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4.

Back in 2022, Harry opened up about life in America during an interview on “Today” with Hoda Kotb. “Home for me, now, for the time being, is in the States,” he said. “And it really feels that way, as well. We’ve been welcomed with open arms and have got such a great community up in Santa Barbara.”

Harry has made several return trips to the UK over the past few years, including a visit in September when he met with his estranged father, King Charles.

Inside Frogmore Cottage and its five luxury bedrooms where Prince Andrew has ‘requested to relocate’

Leave a comment

While Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, packed up their belongings and left a life at Frogmore Cottage behind for the rolling hills of Montecito, California, in 2020, the residence is reportedly being sought after by Prince Andrew following news he may have to give up his current home at Royal Lodge.

According to The Sun, the King’s brother, 65, is said to have requested to relocate to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate as talks with Buckingham Palace officials continue following his controversial friendship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

HELLO! understands that Frogmore Cottage and Adelaide Cottage — where his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, has reportedly requested to move — were options offered to the royals several months ago.

### A Home for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex

Originally home to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex when they were newlyweds, the famous couple first moved into Frogmore Cottage in 2019. The late Queen Elizabeth II gifted the property to them following their marriage in 2018.

Despite Frogmore Cottage’s royal connection dating back to the 19th century, Harry and Meghan set about making the historic Grade-II listed building feel like home. Situated in Windsor Great Park, the house originally had 10 bedrooms. However, following the £2.4 million renovations carried out by the Duke and Duchess, the number of bedrooms was halved to five.

During their time at Frogmore, the couple welcomed their children, Archie Harrison, now 6, and Lilibet Diana, 4, before moving to America to start their new life.

### Inside Frogmore Cottage

The interior of the famous cottage was showcased on the couple’s Netflix series, with particular attention given to the country-style kitchen featuring massive marble countertops and elegant decor. The cottage reportedly includes five bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a nursery.

Meghan brought a vibrant touch to the interiors by adding pops of colour through bold cushions and throws adorned with intricate patterns and designs.

### Beautiful Gardens and Scenic Surroundings

Perhaps just as stunning as the interior are the leafy green, sprawling exteriors of Frogmore Cottage. The gardens, frequently shown in the Netflix series and various photographs, are meticulously maintained, full of flowers and trees that ensure the royals’ privacy.

The outdoor space also features a charming wooden arbour seat. A visitor during one of Frogmore Estate’s rare open days told HELLO! that there is a special tribute in the garden to one of the family’s pets — a dog statue.

The cottage enjoys breathtaking views, situated in front of a large lake and the Grade-II listed Frogmore House, where Harry and Meghan hosted their wedding reception in May 2018.

### Harry’s Reflections on Frogmore Cottage

In his memoir, *Spare*, Harry reflected on their time at the property. He wrote:

> “Meg and I moved our office into Buckingham Palace. We also moved into a new home. Frogmore was ready. We loved that place. From the first minute, it felt as if we were destined to live there.”

He continued:

> “We couldn’t wait to wake up in the morning, go for a long walk in the gardens, check in with the swans — especially grumpy Steve. We met the Queen’s gardeners, got to know their names and the names of all the flowers. They were thrilled at how much we appreciated, and praised, their artistry.”

### The History Behind Frogmore Cottage

With a grand history, Frogmore Cottage was first built in 1860. It is located on the same estate as the Frogmore Mausoleums and the Royal Burial Ground — the final resting places of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and Edward VIII.

Before becoming known as the residence of Harry and Meghan, the cottage served as a retreat for Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of King George III.

Frogmore Cottage remains a significant royal home, rich with history and personal stories, and now, potentially, a new chapter awaits as it may soon accommodate Prince Andrew.

Meghan Markle Blasted as ‘Insufferable’ After Sharing Intimate Details about Her Daily Rituals — Including a ‘Healing Blanket’ and Listening to Music Every Morning

“Duchess Difficult” Meghan Markle Shares Her Serene Go-To Rituals for a Peaceful Home Life

Oct. 24, 2025, Published 2:00 p.m. ET – Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, recently opened up about her peaceful daily rituals that help create a serene home environment. During an appearance at a bookstore near her Montecito, California home on Thursday, October 23, Markle shared intimate details about how she starts her day and maintains calm when traveling, revealing practices that fans have labeled “insufferable,” RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Soothing Music and Candles to Set the Tone

At Godmother’s Bookstore in nearby Summerland, Markle appeared alongside her college friend Courtney Adamo. The conversation centered on Adamo’s new book, The Family Home: Inspiring Ideas for a Home Filled with Joy.

“The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is turn the music on in the house,” the Suits alum shared. This morning ritual sets a calming tone for her children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, whom she shares with Prince Harry.

When traveling with her family, Markle ensures the ritual continues by bringing along speakers and a special item: a candle. “I always travel with a candle. I am so conscious and sensitive to fragrance, and I associate that with home,” she explained during the bookstore event, which was streamed on the store’s Substack channel.

“Healing Blanket” and Meaningful Conversations

Markle revealed another personal touch—a “healing blanket” she uses to comfort her children when they aren’t feeling well. The blanket was a gift from Victoria Jackson, a former QVC cosmetics mogul and co-owner of Godmother’s Bookstore.

She also described her practice of having “rose and thorn” conversations with her kids, encouraging them to share the highlights and low points of their day. This thoughtful approach aims to foster open communication beyond simple “yes” or “no” answers.

“Our daughter, she’s four and she’s a very strong personality and she’s incredible,” Markle gushed. “And now she’s in this moment where I say, ‘What’s your rose and your thorn?’ And she goes, ‘My day was just a blast.’”

Mixed Reactions from Royal Watchers

Not everyone was impressed by Markle’s home rituals. On X, one user called her “insufferable.” Another commented, “Rose & thorn? Healing blanket? This broad has never dealt with a child in her life!”

On Reddit, reactions ranged from dismissive to critical. One user wrote, “I can’t with this ridiculous drivel,” while another opined, “She’s just weird. Her ideas are weird. No one does this.”

Others pointed to Markle’s life changes since stepping back from royal duties with Harry in 2020, lamenting her transition “from castles and State visits to a dank dungeon of a bookstore.”

Career Pivots and Lifestyle Influencer Ambitions

Markle appears to be refocusing on her efforts to become a domestic influencer after recent appearances at Paris Fashion Week and a summit on powerful women in Washington, D.C.

During the bookstore event, she shared other unique lifestyle tips, such as greeting guests at her home while barefoot. “It demystifies. People walk in and go, ‘Oh, she’s in this with me,’” Markle said of the practice. “And what are they drawn to? Your kitchen. They come right in, and suddenly everyone’s a little bit softened.”

Markle has also explored lifestyle and cooking influence through her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Filmed in 2024, the show was released in two seasons, debuting in March and August. While Netflix has yet to announce a third season, a holiday special is slated to air on the streaming platform.

EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle ‘Will Be Raging’ If She’s Snubbed From Taylor Swift’s Wedding Invite List — Despite ‘Diva Duchess’ Congratulating Singer ‘Through Gritted Teeth’

Leave a comment

**Meghan Markle Prepares for “Meltdown of Royal Proportions” Over Taylor Swift’s Wedding Guest List**

*Published Oct. 20, 2025, 7:55 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle is reportedly bracing for a “meltdown of royal proportions” if she doesn’t make the guest list for Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce, sources tell RadarOnline.com.

Despite publicly congratulating the newly engaged couple and even liking Swift’s Instagram announcement, insiders say the Duchess of Sussex is privately seething that the global superstar’s engagement has “eclipsed” her latest business and media ventures.

—

### Swift’s Engagement Steals Markle’s Spotlight

In August, Swift, 35, revealed online that Kelce, 36, had proposed in a garden filled with pink and white flowers, sharing a set of romantic photos captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

The announcement instantly went viral, amassing millions of likes and dominating entertainment headlines. However, the timing couldn’t have been worse for Markle, 44, whose second season of *With Love, Meghan* premiered on Netflix the same day — alongside a new drop from her lifestyle brand, *As Ever*.

A Hollywood source told RadarOnline.com that Markle was “livid” her carefully orchestrated launch was overshadowed by Swift’s fairytale engagement — despite “no one caring about Meghan anyway.”

“She was furious,” the insider claimed. “She had been working for months to relaunch herself as the queen of lifestyle and empowerment, and then Taylor casually drops the biggest celebrity news of the year. Meghan was raging behind closed doors that her headlines were ‘stolen’ by the singer — but she still liked Taylor’s post to look gracious. It was through gritted teeth, no question.”

—

### Desperate for a Wedding Invite?

The source added that Markle is “already panicking” over whether she’ll be invited to what’s expected to be the most exclusive wedding in show business.

“She’s desperate to be there — this is the kind of event that cements your place in the A-list hierarchy,” the insider explained. “If she’s snubbed, she’ll take it as a personal insult. She’s already saying it would be ‘a shame’ if certain people tried to keep her out, which is Meghan-speak for she’s gearing up to be angry.”

—

### Complex Relationship Between Markle and Swift

The Duchess and Swift’s paths have crossed before. Markle attended Swift’s *Eras Tour* concert in Los Angeles in 2023 and reportedly sent a handwritten note afterward, praising the singer’s “grace and authenticity.”

However, sources say the two have never developed a close friendship — especially after Swift accepted an invitation to meet Prince William and his children, George and Charlotte, backstage during her London show last year.

—

### Is Markle Feeling Frozen Out?

“That hurt Meghan,” claimed a royal insider. “Taylor took selfies with William and the kids, and Meghan felt like she was being deliberately frozen out. She sees Taylor as both an ally and a rival.”

In contrast to Swift’s global popularity, Markle’s latest Netflix series has received lukewarm reviews. Filmed near her Montecito home, *With Love, Meghan* showcases the Duchess baking pastries and chatting with celebrity guests such as Tan France and Chrissy Teigen.

Critics have described it as “predictable” and “perfectly polished but painfully dull.”

—

### Counting Down to the Guest List Reveal

Still, Markle has privately told friends she’s “happy for Taylor” and admires her success.

“She’s said all the right things in public and private,” said the insider. “But privately, she’s counting the days until the wedding guest list comes out. She wants that invite — she needs it. Missing out on the biggest celebrity event of the decade would be a nightmare for her image.”

EXCLUSIVE: Revealed — The A-List Podcast Snub That Left Meghan Markle ‘Reeling With Embarrassment’

Leave a comment

**Meghan Markle Left Embarrassed After Mariah Carey Erases Her From Memory in UK Radio Interview**

*October 2, 2025, Updated 7:36 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle has reportedly been left embarrassed after Mariah Carey appeared to erase her from memory when asked about royal connections during a UK radio interview, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, launched her popular podcast *Archetypes* in 2022, with Carey, 56, appearing as one of her headline guests. That episode made headlines at the time for an awkward exchange when the singer called Meghan a “diva,” before hastily clarifying she meant it as a compliment about her style and presence.

### The Awkward ‘Diva’ Moment Resurfaces

But three years on, that moment has resurfaced after Carey was asked on Hits Radio to reflect on royal encounters ahead of a planned performance at Sandringham House. Instead of mentioning Markle, Carey chose to talk warmly about meeting Sarah Ferguson, describing her as “cool.”

For those close to the Sussexes, the “diva” incident combined with Carey’s refusal to collaborate again with Markle in her new Netflix content has “stung.”

One source close to Markle said, “Meghan saw the podcast as a way to connect with influential women she respected. Being so openly passed over now feels deeply humiliating—as though the ‘diva’ controversy is still casting a shadow over her.”

### Meghan’s Sensitivity to the Comment

The original conversation between the pair on *Archetypes* centered on the word “diva” and its double meaning in both pop culture and everyday life. Carey had told Markle she sometimes gave off “diva moments,” pointing to her poise, glamorous wardrobe, and polished presentation.

Markle appeared unsettled by the remark, asking in response, “What kind of diva moments do I give you?” Although Carey clarified her comment referred to image rather than personality, Markle later admitted during the episode that she found the exchange uncomfortable.

The resurfacing of that tension has, according to insiders, left Markle particularly sensitive.

Another industry insider commented, “Mariah was among the most high-profile guests Meghan had secured, so choosing to spotlight Sarah Ferguson instead—without even acknowledging Meghan—was telling. In celebrity circles, such omissions don’t go unnoticed, and it’s embarrassed Meghan.”

### No Chance of a Reunion

Despite this, Markle would still like Mariah to get involved in her new projects, knowing it would make headlines. However, Mariah’s representatives have made it clear there is no chance of that happening.

A source explained, “Mariah just isn’t a fan of Meghan and her ultra-sensitivity. Mariah plays up her diva image in a fun way, but with Meghan it just comes across as irritating.”

This snub comes at a time when Markle and Prince Harry, 41, are working hard to keep their media projects afloat amid critical reviews. Season two of Markle’s Netflix lifestyle series *With Love, Meghan* has recently launched, while Harry’s own polo documentary faced widespread negative feedback earlier this year.

### Renewed Insecurities for the Duchess

A Hollywood source familiar with Markle’s team shared, “She has invested a lot of effort in aligning herself with the celebrity sisterhood, so being left out in this way is painful. Meghan regards her podcast as one of her proudest achievements—and for one of its most prominent guests to overlook it feels like a real setback.”

Friends further suggested that Mariah’s omission of Markle during her radio chat revived insecurities about how the Duchess is perceived in star circles compared to her royal status.

One confidante explained, “Meghan’s biggest fear is being disregarded—whether by the Palace or by Hollywood. To her, this was yet another sign that she’s still struggling to secure her place.”
