Meghan Markles father claims he was being used to sabotage Sussexes wedding.
Father of Duchess Meghan said he was being used to sabotage the marriage of Prince Harry and his daughter.

Omid Scobie, the co-author “Finding Freedom” on Saturday shared a video of Thomas Markle with a caption that read, “Australia’s Channel 7 has deleted a Sept 15 Thomas Markle interview where he accuses Coleman Rayner boss Jeff Rayner and former American Media Inc. exec Dylan Howard of using him to sabotage the Sussexes’ wedding.”

Omid Scobie added, the lawyers for Howard deny the claim and threatened legal action against Markle.

Meghan Markl and Prince Harry moved to the US after stepping down as senior members of the British royal family.

Thomas Markle has criticized his daughter in multiple interviews since Meghan’s marriage to Harry but the Duchess chose not to react.

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s influence is infinite, according to TIME.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear together on a cover for the first time as part of the magazine’s annual TIME100 list, which rounds up the world’s most powerful people who are working to change the world for the better. Fellow cover stars include Simone Biles, Billie Eilish, and Kate Winslet.

For the cover, Meghan appears in a chic monochromatic ensemble that includes a cream-hued blouse and matching high-waist trousers, while Harry goes all black with his shirt and slacks. According to the outlet, the pair were selected for the list due to their dedication to activism and mental health advocacy, as well as Meghan’s lifelong commitment to advancing the lives of women and girls worldwide. The pair also wrote a profile in the new issue for fellow nominee Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a Nigerian American economist fighting for global vaccine equity.

While there is no accompanying profile for the couple’s cover shoot, their friend, founder of World Central Kitchen Chef Jose Andres did write a touching message in honor of the couple.

“They turn compassion into boots on the ground through their Archewell Foundation. They give voice to the voiceless through media production. Hand in hand with nonprofit partners, they take risks to help communities in need—offering mental-health support to Black women and girls in the U.S., and feeding those affected by natural disasters in India and the Caribbean,” wrote Andres. “In a world where everyone has an opinion about people they don’t know, the duke and duchess have compassion for the people they don’t know. They don’t just opine. They run toward the struggle.”

The new cover appears to officially symbolize a new start for the Sussexes, who reportedly are preparing for a new “era of visibility” once the COVID-19 pandemic allows.

“They’re a couple who do very well in those moments of human interaction. They need to be on the ground,” Harper’s BAZAAR’s royal editor Omid Scobie told People. “They say that the proof is in the pudding, and what we are about to see is that pudding.”

The US Department of Defense Warrior Games is normally an annual event “that celebrates the resiliency and dedication of wounded, ill, and injured active duty and veteran US military Service members”.

US First Lady Jill Biden will host a virtual event along with Britain’s Prince Harry for athletes involved in the Warrior Games, an event for wounded US military veterans, the White House said late Sunday.

The US Department of Defense Warrior Games, first held in 2010, is normally an annual event “that celebrates the resiliency and dedication of wounded, ill, and injured active duty and veteran US military Service members,” the Office of the First Lady said in a statement.

The 2021 Warrior Games were scheduled to start this week in Orlando, Florida, “but were canceled to ensure the health and safety of the athletes and their families due to COVID-related concerns,” the statement read.

Prince Harry, a combat veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan, is founder of The Invictus Games, a multi-national sports event for wounded service members and veterans. He first attended the Warrior Games in 2013 in Colorado.

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Ken Fisher, head of the Fisher House Foundation – which provides housing for families of patients receiving medical care at military and Veterans Affairs medical centers – will also be at the virtual event.

Biden, Prince Harry, Austin and Fisher had planned to be at the games in person before they were cancelled.

Jill Biden’s stepson, the late Beau Biden, was a US army veteran and served one year in Iraq during the war.

The First Lady “has a long history of supporting the adaptive sporting community through Joining Forces, the White House initiative to support military and veteran families, caregivers, and survivors,” the statement read.
