One of the things I enjoy about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s relationships with Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King is that we really don’t know how often they talk or whether advice is sought or received. Oprah and Gayle keep it private and they maintain (publicly) that Meghan and Harry aren’t asking them for advice. Still, people ask them all the time if they’ve spoken to Meghan and Harry about this or that. For good reason – post-Oprah interview, Harry called up Gayle and gave her information which she revealed on air. It’s good to put that out there – at any time, Meghan or Harry could call Gayle and Oprah and get their side out. Anyway, Gayle was asked this week about Harry’s attendance at the coronation:
Showing her support. Gayle King is proud of how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle handled their final decision about King Charles III’s coronation.
“I think Meghan and Harry should do what’s best for them,” the journalist, 68, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Time100 red carpet on Wednesday, April 26. “Clearly they know what’s going on in their family life. They know what’s going on over there.”
King explained that she doesn’t offer the Duke and Duchess of Sussex any unsolicited advice about their relationship with the royal family. “They consult me about nothing when it comes to that or anything for that matter,” she added. “I think they make the decision that’s best for them. But I think — as [far as] his dad — I’m glad he’s going.”
According to King, Harry and Meghan are in “a really good place” amid public ups and downs with the royals. “You’ve seen the two of them together and I know what they have is really true-blue. And it’s good to see the happiness that they give each other,” she gushed on Wednesday about the pair, who also share daughter Lili, 22 months.
I also think they’re in a good place. 2023 is an era of sweeping change for the Sussexes – it started with Harry’s memoir and promotion, then how they handled being evicted from Frogmore, how they handled the coronation invitation, how Harry is handling his lawsuits against the British newspapers, and don’t forget – they’ll go to Germany for Invictus, and I’m sure Meghan will have more projects coming out this year too.
I’m not going to devote a post to this, but that nutcase Angela Levin has been everywhere this week, spreading lies and saying unhinged crap about the Sussexes. She was on Dan Wootton’s GB News show, and she actually said that Harry is “desperate to get the headlines taken off King Charles and Queen Camilla and to actually get there on the newspaper.” Because Harry and Meghan went to a basketball game! She also said: “You cannot stand how they can be so rude and they’re laughing. They were laughing at us actually, rather than together.” The Sussexes: laughing at their haters!

Doesn’t she realize that we are ALL laughing at the stupidity, racism and unhinged foolishness of the opinions of people like Angela. We all know she is a wanker.
Normal people see Angela and the rest of the British “media” for what they are racist, mean-spirited and desperate. The problem is that the deranged and unhinged do not – and there are a lot of those (across all professions and ages) – which poses the danger. It’s a daily public lynching with those rags/people and so unacceptable. Ignoring it doesn’t help but I’m not sure what will make it stop.
Levin, honeychile:
They just aren’t into you. Get over it.
Seriously @lanne!
Imagine trying to center yourself in the lives of a couple who are enjoying a NBA playoff game and being romantic with each other. This fool somehow thinks it about her? They forget Meghan is the center of their world, they don’t exist in hers.
Here in somewhat sane USA Meghan and Harry are making money moves, growing their business and clearly have protective POWERFUL friends like Gail and Oprah. The dark days are over. They have bought their home, started their business, had their children and are focused on tending and growing what they have created.
That Levin chick is bonkers. She really needs help and Wootton just stokes her bonkers fires. I love how at ease Meghan and Harry are with each other. How the people who know them see how solid they are and how much they care for each other and their babies. It’s super encouraging to hear that they are doing well from people who know them and care for them.
That’s because Dan is just as deluded as she is. That looney toon literally rights open letters to the royals as if he’s somehow that important to listen too and if his words mean ish. Him, Camilla T, Angela and Piers are pissed because Harry called them out in his book without mentioning their names. They hate that he has no respect for them.
Ah yes, people laughing during and enjoying a basketball game were actually laughing at the British press. How does anyone take anything these people say seriously?
Wow… haven’t read the words of Levin in a while… that’s… that’s unhinged.
Her elevator really doesn’t reach the top floor, does it?
I mean…COME ON. We’re all seeing the same damn thing. Nobody can write them into a bad relationship puhleeze.
You know, it’s funny how CRex and Camzilla have tried to rehab their image by selling their love story (which has messy bits like “Whatever love is,” tampons, etc), and then you have Harry and Meghan’s true blue to contrast with that.
Tabloid attacks on Gayle King starting in 3, 2, 1…
Nah, they’re too busy trying to figure out how to react to Meghan signing with WME.
You have some reporters who are only looking for a paycheck and then you have some who are genuinely obsessed and clinically insane and Angela Levin is the latter. She projects and deludes herself into thinking that those projections are real. I wasn’t lying when I said that Harry and Meghan have unintentionally driven some people to madness. She’s mad because she can’t use the moniker of Harry’s biographer anymore.
and yet Camilla’s is allowing her to write her biography. The royals associate with racists and crazies.
This is the critical point, lanne.
Levin is insane but still Camilla is cavorting with her. It’s so gross.
Angela you can’t make fetch happen with this. The are thriving and that just enrages you. You love to see it happen.
Angela Levin is bonkers.
Levin sounds like when she goes home at night she takes off her wig, stares at herself in the mirror, and sticks pins in her arms while screaming about ho the Sussexes were ‘laughing at us’. Us being her and her reflection. The crazy is off the charts with that one.
Poor deluded Angela. Is she still going on about her obsession with Harry? Silly cow keeps hanging onto hopes that Harry will divorce Meghan and finally reveal his passionate love for Angela.
I have two words for her: professional therapy.
Interesting choice of words “true blue”. Isn’t that originally Scottish, in that the English Crown is red and Scotland was blue and being “true blue” means your loyalties lie with Scotland first, not the crown?
Maybe someone from the UK can confirm – but that is where I had thought the saying came from.
I honestly don’t think it’s that deep. “True blue” is a common saying.
I agree its a very common saying. Still its not usually used for love between 2 people. It’s more about loyalty and honesty, typically you say a person is true blue, not a relationship. But you’re probably correct, Gayle just used it in a way that made me pause.
ecsmom, You question caused me to take a quick look:
In medieval Europe blue was the colour of faithfulness or constancy, whose opposite was green. A poem of about 1450, Against Women Unconstant — some claim it was written by Geoffrey Chaucer — criticises an unsteadfast woman for being like a weathercock, that turns its face with every wind; it says, “In stede of blew, thus may ye were al greene.”
“True blue starts to be recorded in the 1630s. The story used to be told that the city of Coventry in the English midlands was famous for dyeing a blue that would neither change colour nor fade in washing, and that true blue was coined to indicate a person who would likewise never alter their principles nor their allegiances. We may prefer to think that Coventry had nothing to do with the matter but that true blue was simply an almost inevitable rhyming extension whose meaning was based on the ancient associations of the colour. A proverb, first recorded around 1630, “True blue will never stain”, embodied the ideal of constancy in the figurative stain but that may have been prompted by the blue aprons traditionally worn by butchers in order not to show bloodstains.
Blue began to be associated with politics in Scotland in the seventeenth century through Scottish Presbyterians who formed the Whig party, notably to oppose Charles II being succeeded by his brother James in 1688. ”
I can’t say with accuracy exactly what the origin is, but this an idea of how it began.
For me she meant true blue, as in the true blue blood, i.e the true royals. But maybe not 🙂
“They were laughing at us actually, rather than together.”
I’m sorry this is so funny to me. She’s so delusional and thinks H&M were thinking of her/the rota instead of each other. Like I said: delusional.
Right! The unhinged level of self importance lol … I think these are her fantasies. That the RR still matters to the two most powerful people in the royal family.
You know we always say “unhinged” about the Rota rats but I think in Angela’s case it could be true. I heard on a podcast that she had a very traumatic childhood, I think that she is still struggling with that? She seems fixated on the Sussexes in a way that is not normal, not about making a quick dollar. But then maybe they all are in some way. I just feel like she could be dangerous
There is no sane voice from Angela Levin and others of her ilk. Kinsey Schofield can be included in this list.
Hey, dragon lady, it’s called having fun as a happily married couple on a date night. Deal with it BCH
Mary Pester, I often wonder what would happen to her if she no longer wrote/talked crap about Meghan or Harry? I think she just might lose it altogether.
I’ve been meaning to ask you if you get any support from the Veteran community. Please let us know.
The look on their faces in the first pic (he’s wearing a black jacket and black pants) is pure joy, adoration and bliss. Just look at those faces! So many haters must envy that happiness. I am so happy for them both.
It’s delicious that these derangers are likely pissing in their pants over Meghan signing with WME, with Ari Emanuel heading up her representation. I hope they all cry harder. WME has been taking on more international clients, per Deadline. Ari Emanuel is one of “the” power brokers in entertainment and media, and WME is one of a handful of companies that is powerful enough to fight back against Murdoch. I believe M+H may finally get *some* relief from the deranged BM.
