OPINION: As if we don’t have enough to worry about with this fragile world in which we all live, there they are, front and centre, Megs and Haz in a blaze of paparazzi flashes and whizbangs. The Big Apple saw these two pitch up for the TIME 100 event, where Megs was due to drop her voluminous pearls of wisdom as a guest speaker. The TIME 100 website states: "The fifth-annual TIME100 Summit will feature leaders from the global TIME community to spotlight solutions and encourage action toward a better world."

Included in the lofty word salad of verbosity is the announcement of “speakers for the daylong event” including "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and founder of As Ever, actor and producer”. Bleep me, but that’s a mouthful. It remained to be seen, of course, what she had to say, but that seemed to be very much a secondary consideration, since it merely obscured the real objective of promoting Brand Sussex. But ok, let’s go with the flow.

Princess Mary, who was born on this day in 1897, was at the centre of the major royal plot following the announcement of the late King Edward VIII's abdication - later the Duke of Windsor - in 1936.

Mary was one of several members of the Royal Family who voiced their concern and even plotted to convince her elder brother not to marry twice-divorced American, Wallis Simpson.

One of the letters found casts a light on a conversation between her and Loelia, Duchess of Westminster, who urged the princess to use her influence over her eldest brother to “get rid” of Wallis.

Prince Harry provided a "sizzle" to the Royal Family that they now lack, according to a royal author.

The Duke of Sussex stepped down as a senior working royal in 2020 before relocating to the US with his wife, Meghan Markle, where they have now settled with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Harry has been in an ongoing feud with his estranged family after making various claims against them.

But Tina Brown, Diana, Princess of Wales' biographer and also a former editor of Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and The Daily Beast, claimed that despite the royal feud, the Duke provided the royals with a bit of a breathing space which could "take the pressure" off some of them.
