Hugh Grant arrives at High Court ahead of Prince Harry’s privacy trial against NGN
Meghan and Prince Harry’s relationship is “toxic” according to the Duchess of Sussex’s estranged half-sister Samantha Markle.
In a new interview with Australian news programme 7News Spotlight, which will air on Sunday 30 April, the 58-year-old claimed the duke and duchess are “unhealthy for each other”.
The show, which also includes an interview with Meghan’s father Thomas Markle Sr, will be released one week before the coronation of King Charles III. While Prince Harry will attend the ceremony, Meghan will remain with the couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, at home in California.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Meghan has signed with a major talent agency that represents some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Meghan will be represented at WME, which has celebrity clients including Rihanna, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Matt Damon.
With the date for the coronation inching closer, a full list of people taking part in ceremonial roles during the ceremony has been released.
The moment that the King will be crowned has also been depicted on new commemorative coronation stamps released by Royal Mail.
The set, comprised of four stamps, is based on newly-commissioned wood engravings by artist Andrew Davidson.
