Harry & Meghan WERE THEY BETRAYED?
Relations between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the rest of the royals seem as tense as ever, but now it’s perhaps the Sussexes’ turn to feel betrayed.
Despite deciding to ditch the UK for America and publicly air their grievances towards the Firm, the couple have remained close to Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. Eugenie, 33, is thought to have visited the couple in their home in California and appeared in footage in their bombshell Netflix documentary. But is that relationship about to sour too?

Linda, who previously denied any falling out between the pair, continued, ‘I was delighted that she was so successful but I just wanted a little bit of it as well.’ She added, ‘But now I am doing drama roles so I don’t have to be envious any more.’
We’re glad to hear it, Linda!
Judy SLEEPING IN THE SPARE ROOM
TV veteran Richard Madeley revealed that his wife Judy Finnigan, 75, has moved out of their marital bedroom. But fear not, it isn’t out of choice. The 67-year-old shared, ‘Judy is now sleeping in the spare room because we have got this mouse in the bedroom.’
