Meghan Markle would like to set the record straight!

Meghan Markle is slamming reports she had any involvement in leaking a letter she previously sent to King Charles III, in which she expressed concern over alleged racial remarks made at the expense of her son, Prince Archie. On Friday, The Telegraph reported that in 2021 Markle received a letter from the then Prince Charles after she gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey, where she alleged someone within the inner family had made remarks regarding the skin color of her then-unborn son.The Duchess responded with her own note, addressing the "unconscious bias" within the family.

Prince Harry won't "hang around" and will be "in and out in a flash" at King Charles' Coronation in May, according to former Royal butler Paul Burrell. The Duke of Sussex, 38, is set to attend his father's crowning on 6 May in London while wife Meghan Markle, 41, remains in California with the couple's two children, Archie, three and Lilibet, one. Harry's trip to the UK to see the Royal Family will be very brief and he might not even see his father Charles, 74, or brother Prince William, 41, during his short say, according to Paul, who was Princess Diana's butler.

Meghan Markle has said it's "frankly ridiculous" to suggest she is missing King Charles' Coronation over a letter she sent the monarch two years ago. The Duchess of Sussex, 41, reportedly sent a letter to father-in-law Charles, 74, following she and husband Prince Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.The letter is said to have regarded the alleged unconscious bias in the monarchy - in it, naming the individual accused of speculating about her unborn son Archie's skin colour, but went on to claim the person wasn't racist.

Royal watchers believe there is zero chance the battling brothers will mend things before their father’s coronation — and Kate Middleton couldn’t be more disappointed. A source recently told People magazine in this week’s issue that it was the Princess of Wales who came up with the idea to step out with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September.The insider alleged it was meant to be a first step in reconciliation between the brothers and their wives, one that proved to be difficult for everyone involved.

Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch is dropping his defamation claimagainst Australian news site Crikey over a column that connected him to the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

$787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems related to lies Fox News told about the 2020 election.“The stupidity in the executive offices at Fox and at the anchor desks led to this outcome which was completely avoidable,” the MSNBC host said during his show on Wednesday. “Someone at Fox could’ve said to the people hosting their shows ‘You can let Rudy Giuliani tell any lie he wants for as long as he wants and at the end of it all you have to say is ‘if that’s true, this is a terrible situation and we’re going to have to do something about that’’ and Fox never could have been sued.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Let no one deny it: Rupert Murdoch is clever like a fox. He’s slyer than his adversaries in mainstream media. They still think in real-world terms. But Murdoch thinks in terms of the world that he’s created — the world of fake news, of lies that play because they carry the ring of vengeful mythology (life as a Charles Bronson film that never ends). The world that Fox News pretends is reality. You could make a case that in recent weeks, Murdoch’s circus of happy-talk dystopian propaganda (otherwise known as any random half hour of Fox News) took a major hit. The release of documents subpoenaed during the Dominion Voting System’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News revealed something that was, or should be, profoundly embarrassing to the network: that there are moments when its star huckster, Tucker Carlson, actually tells the truth (at least in private). The revelation that Carlson, along with a number of Fox News executives, peddled Donald Trump’s crackpot assertion that he won the 2020 election not because they believed it, but because they thought they had to go along with what their viewers wanted to hear, made the Fox team look like craven cowards. The lawsuit never made it to trial, but because those documents were leaked you could say the damage was done. And to keep the trial from happening, Murdoch had to cough up the mother of all defamation settlements: $787.5 million. 

reached a settlement in their $1.6 billion defamation battle on Tuesday, the hosts of “The View” were pretty unimpressed. According to the women at ABC’s table, the outcome “just didn’t sting enough” for Fox.Dominion settled the suit against Fox News for $787.5 million, almost exactly half of what they were suing for.

John Poulos, the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems, defended the $787.5 billion settlement with Fox News and Fox Corp., telling Good Morning America that “all of the facts we had discovered during the case had already come to light.”

On Tuesday, Fox News avoided a lengthy, potentially embarrassing trial in the defamation lawsuit brought against it by Dominion Voting Systems, when the network agreed to pay Dominion $787 million. And Tuesday night on CBS’ “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert admitted he considers the case’s outcome to be a huge disappoint.Partly because he “wanted to see Rupert Murdoch put his hand on the bible and burst into flames.” But Colbert had a more serious concern. The settlement, which doesn’t require Fox to apologize, or even admit to any wrongdoing, “does nothing for our democracy.”“ About two hours ago, Fox News settled their defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems, averting a trial,” Colbert said during his monologue.

Like a lot of people on Tuesday, Jimmy Kimmel was very disappointed that the defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News ended in a settlement. But Kimmel didn’t just call out Fox News which, all things considered got a pretty good deal. He also dinged Dominion for abandoning the high-minded justifications it insisted were behind the lawsuit.

on the network’s official website there wasn’t a single mention of the settlement. As of this writing, readers instead are being treated to stories about Joe Biden’s taxes, Tucker Carlson’s interview with Elon Musk, Ray Romano’s heart surgery, and yes, that story about a goose rescue.Former Illinois congressman and now CNN Senior Political Commentator Adam Kinzinger was among those pointing out the omission on Twitter.“Just looked at Fox News, no mention of the settlement on their website,” Kinzinger wrote.Just looked at Foxnews, no mention of the settlement on their website.

CNN’s Jake Tapper stridently referred to Fox News paying $787.5 million Tuesday to settle a looming legal case about Fox News’ false characterizations of Dominion Voting Systems’ equipment in regard to the 2020 election as “one of the ugliest and most embarrassing moments in the history of journalism.”

Fox News’s $787.5 billion settlement with Dominion Voting Systems does not require that the network do an on-air a retraction or apology, sources confirmed.
