In the latest Meghan Markle and Prince Harry news, the pair have been defended after a Hollywood star unleashed a savage rant on them.
Since the LA wildfires tore apart homes and towns, Meghan and Harry, 40, have been doing their part to help those in need. From making appearances at charity events to being hailed by victims, they have really stepped up.
But there are still some people who feel the pair are using it to their advantage. Filmmaker Justine Bateman spoke to TV host Piers Morgan about her true thoughts – and why she believes the couple are “disaster tourists”.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry slammed by Justine Bateman over LA wildfires
On Meghan, 43, and Prince Harry‘s behalf, a statement was given to Page Six in response to Justine’s comments.
Piers read: “It’s offensive to Meghan and Harry that anyone would think this is merely a photo op. Meghan was born and raised in Los Angeles so this is and always will be home to her.
“Her heart is completely broken for all the lives that have been lost and those whose homes have been destroyed. They have also dedicated countless hours of volunteering long before the media even knew.”
“I don’t know why they were walking over possible human remains.”

When Piers asked Justine, 58, what she thinks about that, the Hollywood filmmaker didn’t hold anything back.
She said: “I don’t know who these people are. I don’t know why they were walking all over possible human remains, there was people missing in the ashes.”
The whole thing is really so out of place. It’s so ridiculous and so tone deaf.
Justine continued: “I don’t know why it was this official tour. The whole thing is really so out of place. It’s so ridiculous and so tone deaf.”
And she went on to confirm she still believes they are “disaster tourists” but that she wants to focus on the “important” things from the fire. To her this is helping “the people” affected.

But her rant didn’t go down well with everyone, as many flocked to the comments to praise Meghan and Harry for doing what they can. They also expressed the view that those who have the ability to help should – without backlash.
One wrote on X: “Out of place? Wow. A punch to the gut for everyone involved. They were just trying to help.”
Another asked: “There are many other celebs posting about helping. Why are you only attacking these two?”
A third hit back: “Focus on real issues. Not people trying to help.”
Kelly Osbourne hit out at ‘photo ops’
It comes after Kelly Osbourne hit out at celebrities using the fires as photo-ops.
And in a now-deleted Instagram video she ranted her annoyance. She said: “Is it just me being my normal overthinking cynical self, or is it really disturbing to see all of these celebrities using other people’s pain and suffering as a photo op?”
Queen Consort Camilla is set to undergo a major title change following the coronation in May, it has recently been reported.
Now, the real reason behind this change in title has been revealed by a royal expert – and it’s not due to her popularity.
Queen Consort Camilla to undergo major title change
Last week it was revealed that Camilla will undergo a major title change at the coronation.
As reported by The Mirror last Thursday (March 16), Camilla will be dropping the ‘Consort’ from her Queen Consort title soon.
Once the coronation is done, the 75-year-old will reportedly be simply known as Queen Camilla going forwards.
The news was revealed when the coronation edition of the bible was leaked.
In it, it reads: “To commemorate the Coronation of their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. In the Abbey Church of St Peter, Westminster. The sixth day of May 2023.”
When Camilla first married Charles, it was expected that she would become Princess Consort when Charles became King.
However, as per the late Queen Elizabeth’s wishes, Camilla’s title was changed to Queen Consort when Charles took the throne.
Now it seems as though another tweak is in order for Camilla’s royal title.
Why is Queen Consort Camilla changing her title?
Now, the real reason behind Camilla’s title change has been revealed – and it’s nothing to do with her popularity.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam spoke exclusively to ED! about the decision to change Camilla’s title and the reasoning behind it.
“Camilla’s history with titles is unique,” he said.
“She was Princess of Wales but chose to be known as the Duchess of Cornwall,” he then continued.
” It was the official position that when Charles ascended the throne she would be known as Princess Consort, until the Queen’s intervention in the eve of her Platinum Jubilee.”
“She is Queen Consort, but it is a heavy handed title,” he then said.
Camilla title change not down to ‘popularity’
The royal expert then continued, saying: “None of the previous three Queen Consorts used it, Alexandra, Mary and Elizabeth were all known as Queen.”
“In the age of social media and the net bad habits such as calling Catherine – Kate Middleton persist,” he then said.
“It also makes sense to make a title easier to use, which is why the change is likely,” he then continued.

Richard then revealed at this point that the title change has nothing to do with popularity.
“It isn’t really linked to her personal popularity,” he said.
However, there is also another reason behind the change, according to the royal expert.
“Queen Consort Camilla sounds clunky so it will probably change,” he revealed.
