Mr Vickers told the paper's royal editor Matt Wilkinson: 'I just think there's gonna be a terrible revenge when those children grow up. 'I mean, I don't know about you but I would be very annoyed if I found that I'd been used in all these posts in a strange way by my parents.' The prince and princess were recently featured in a social media post during a trip to Disneyland. Mr Vickers added: 'Equally they're also going to grow up at one point and discover that they never knew their grandparents, their grandfathers. 'I mean Mr Markle, of course he's a broken man, but he's a rather sweet man actually and he did a lot for that girl when she was growing up don't you think?' Ms Gill said: 'I spoke to him a couple days ago actually and he's just absolutely still distraught about the fact that he still doesn't have contact with Meghan.' Mr Vickers said: 'And then of course they will also wake up to realise that they could have been the cousin to Prince George, a future king and they could have been over here having a nice time and with the other children their cousins they aren't gonna know them.' Talking about the apparent change in social media strategy from the Sussexes, Ms Gill said: 'I mean it's pretty interesting this new Instagram PR strategy though I must say. 'I know we talk about the backs of the children's heads. How dare Meghan lecture the royal on 'truth'? Her whole brand is built on LIES 'The children's faces were front and centre of those videos, so it seems like this new PR team has just chucked everything that she previously had out the door and said no we want you twerking we want the kids faces and we want everything out there and we want the public to be able to dissect it. 'So that's a very interesting sort of shift for that brand Meghan and Harry and I really think that it's tragic that the King and Thomas Markle senior were not included at all and not in the children's lives. 'It's really a tragedy.' Elsewhere in our exclusive chat, Matt noted how he was stunned at Meghan's latest podcast interview where she asked people to "tell the truth about her". Samara added that perhaps the "revolving door of staff" the Sussexes have employed may shed more light on "truth". Countless staff members have joined a long list of people who over the years no longer wish to associate with the mum-of-two. Samara also referenced bullying allegations levelled at her from staff during her time at Kensington Palace. The royal expert added: "I don't want to listen to this woman about truth. "The fact of the matter is that she is a constant liar." The Duchess of Sussex recently appeared on her podcast alongside friend Emma Grede, CEO of Good American, where she seemed to take several digs at the Royal Family. On the podcast, Meghan revealed that she wanted people to "tell the truth" about her, when asked "if you you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything you would do differently?" The Duchess went on to share advice that she had received from Serena Williams regarding how she was viewed in the public after falling love with Prince Harry. "My dear friend Serena, she told me years ago: 'A lie can't live forever,'" said Meghan. But Hugo, agreed with Samara on the issue and questioned how accurate Meghan's accusatory comments actually were. He said: "I think Samara and I, as well as others, do tell the truth about her and I don't think she likes it very much." The royal expert added: "No one would actually listen to Meghan Markle if it wasn't for the fact she married Prince Harry. "It's because she's married to Harry it gives the soap opera quality that seems to appeal to everyone. "Otherwise would not really care about her, a lot of other people are doing stuff similar to her on social media anyway." It comes after the Duchess broke her silence on her cringey twerking video after it sparked wild conspiracy theories. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted the footage earlier this month showing her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room as she tried to induce daughter Lilibet's birth in 2021. 6 Harry and Meghan's children featured in a number of photos posted to social media Credit: Instagram 6 Meghan has been pushing her podcast Credit: YouTube

More on Sophie Wessex Last week, Prince William, 42, and his aunt Sophie, 60, teamed up in a rare royal engagement together. They toasted each other with gin at the Royal Cornwall Show — and she proved to be a tonic by helping out with the heir to the throne's duties.

Sophie and Prince Edward's royal romance When Sophie met Edward in 1987 she was a PR for Capital Radio, but it was six years before they started dating. They then began a romance in earnest, but went to great lengths to avoid photographers, especially when Sophie began staying overnight at Edward's three-room apartment in Buckingham Palace. When calling Sophie at her office, the Prince would use the name Richard — not that he fooled her colleagues for long. Six years after they started going out, Edward proposed, with a £105,000 ring from Crown jewellers Garrard. Starting a family was not straightforward. In 2001 Sophie suffered an ectopic pregnancy. In 2003, the birth of daughter Louise was similarly dramatic. The baby was a month premature and Sophie lost nine pints of blood, had a caesarean and was in hospital for 15 days. In 2007 she had another caesarean giving birth to son James. Last summer, during the break before the second lockdown, Edward, Sophie and their children, now 17 and 13, were among the first to stay with the Queen and Philip at Balmoral, and the last to leave.

I know the exact moment Prince Harry had second thoughts about how he's treated the King & why he looks so sad, says pro
PRINCE Harry had an exact moment of having 'second thoughts' about how he's treated his cancer-stricken father King Charles, according to royal experts. The Duke of Sussex , 40, has had a rollercoaster few years since ditching royal duties and relocating to California with Meghan Markle, 43. 6 Tensions have been running high between Prince Harry and his family in recent years Credit: Getty 6 The Duke of Sussex stepped down as a senior royal in 2020 and relocated to California with Meghan Markle Credit: Mega 6 Prince Harry gave an exclusive interview with the BBC's Nada Tawfik near his home in Santa Barbara, California following his security court case defeat in May Credit: BBC After criticising his family in his bombshell documentary , experts have claimed things came to a head following his Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, legendary royal photographer 'I don't know what he does every day. He probably takes the kids to the park and stuff like that. 'But he doesn't seem to be having a real role now.' More on Prince Harry Arthur claimed that Prince Harry may have had a moment of second guessing his decisions in his The royal photographer said: 'He looked so sad in that, and so really down and not upbeat like he was normally. 'I feel somehow he's having probably second thoughts. Maybe this is not such a great idea.' News . Royal Correspondent Bronte Coy agreed on the show, and shared: 'I thought the same. That was only a month ago. Most read in Royals 'For better or worse, Meghan's forging ahead with her path. But seeing Harry look exactly as you say, looking so defeated. 'But from that interview and the things he was saying, it just appears he seems quite stuck.' I've seen signs of how stressed Prince Harry is recently - he's killed any chance of reconciliation with King ITV 's Royal Editor Chris Ship argued that if Prince Harry does want to reconcile with his father, as he stated in the BBC chat, the video was 'exactly the thing not to do.' He explained: 'Because now, you know, they can't share anything private with him because they're worried it will just end up in the public realm.' Arthur stated that if Prince Harry had said 'sorry Pop, I do want to see you', it 'might have had a difference.' However, the royal photographer did say that his BBC plea was 'coming from his heart.' He added: 'I thought he looked so sad, you know, so sad. 'Maybe because he'd just lost half a million, one and a half million quid, maybe that's what made him sad.' 6 Royal experts have questioned Prince Harry's role after stepping down as a royal Credit: meghan / Instagram HARRY'S BOMBSHELL CHAT A tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was when Prince Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won't speak to him. Harry said when making the emotional admission: "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff." 6 , BBC NEWS Prince Harry speaks to BBC News Credit: BBC Harry and William are also said to be barely on speaking terms. William was reportedly 'blindsided' by Harry's decision to ditch his duties to live in his Montecito mansion with Meghan and the pair have yet to make amends. Another blow to the Royal relationships struck when Harry released his memoir Spare in 2023. Harry didn't hold back in the controversial book which caused a deeper chasm between him and his brother. In the bombshell memoir, he detailed Megxit and how the Royal family brand Meghan "difficult" and "rude." He slammed Queen Camilla as a villain and was highly criticised for outing his family for cash. 6 Prince Harry and his family in happier times in 2014 Credit: Getty "There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family," he added. "This current situation - ongoing for 5 years - is the sticking point. "Of course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing the book, for lots of things." He says the future of him, his family, and their relationship with the UK will depend on King Charles. Keen for the family to make up, the Duke says whether a reconciliation is on the cards will ultimately be up to his father, saying: "It's in his hands." He added: "I have no idea how much longer my father has - he is no longer speaking to me - but it would be nice to reconcile. "It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don't want that, that's entirely up to them." Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back as senior working royals? PRINCE Harry has always wanted out of the Royal Family and the repercussions will be felt for years, an expert has claimed. The Duke of Sussex has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020 after they dramatically quit their jobs as working royals and moved across the pond. Katie Nicholl, who is Vanity Fair's royal correspondent, told The Sun's Speaking to The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the commentator explained: "Anyone who knows Harry is aware he's always wanted a way out of the Royal Family. "He's said multiple times on the record that he wished he'd never been born a prince. "I think he really is living the life he wants to now. It's very, very sad that it's played out the way it has.' "We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. "It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. "We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. "This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.'
