Meg pales as Lady Sarah forbids Duchess from using Spencer title

Megan Markle's aspirations to adopt the iconic Spencer name have hit a roadblock, with Lady Sarah stepping in to put an end to the royal rebranding plans.

In a recent interview with Dan Wooten, biographer Tom Batwer delved into the topic of how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex aim to reshape their public image as Harry and Meghan Spencer, drawing parallels to Princess Diana.

It was revealed that Meghan's ultimate goal is to emulate the beloved late princess, with discussions of dropping the Windsor name in favor of Spencer.

The idea was for Meghan to become Meghan Spencer, effectively positioning herself as the new Diana alongside Harry Spencer.

However, this proposed transformation would not only impact their identities but also involve relinquishing the Sussex title, a move deemed necessary to solidify their new personas.

Batwer's revelations sparked a conversation about the implications of such a significant shift, particularly in relation to Prince Harry's ties to the royal family.

Lady Sarah, a close confidante of Diana, expressed strong opposition to Meghan's intentions, dismissing her as a “D-list actress” seeking to capitalize on Diana's legacy for personal gain.

She adamantly declared that Meghan should not be allowed to tarnish her sister's memory and urged Harry to distance himself from her.

Lady Sarah further advocated for Princess Catherine, asserting that she is more deserving of the Princess of Wales title, which Diana once held, considering her future role as queen.

Meanwhile, the ongoing legal battle between Prince Harry and Mirror Group newspapers garnered support from an unexpected source – Charles Spencer, Princess Diana's brother.

As Harry testified against the media conglomerate in London, Charles took to Twitter to defend his nephew and condemn the tabloid's coverage.

Responding to allegations regarding Harry's past relationships, Charles rebuked critics and highlighted the damaging effects of media intrusion on personal lives.

He underscored the importance of upholding the rule of law in the face of unethical journalistic practices, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency in media reporting.

Amidst the legal proceedings, notable figures like Sir Paul McCartney and Princess Catherine made a public appearance at the reopening of the National Portrait Gallery in London.

The event marked a significant moment as McCartney and the Princess shared smiles while admiring the gallery's exhibits.

McCartney, accompanied by his wife Nancy Shevell, exuded elegance in a monochrome ensemble, drawing attention from fashion enthusiasts.

The Princess's interaction with the music legend added a touch of glamour to the occasion, setting the stage for the upcoming exhibition featuring McCartney's intimate photographs from the early days of Beatlemania.

The gallery's initiative aims to offer a fresh perspective on the iconic band's legacy, inviting visitors to delve into a bygone era through the lens of a rock legend turned photographer.
