Meghan Markle’s email to the Palace about Kate Middleton crying story has been released

Posted: 15 Mar 2021 10:30 PM PDT

Part of Meghan Markle's email asking Kensington Palace to respond to the false reports that she made Kate Middleton cry has been revealed to the public.

For years, there has been reports on news websites that the Duchess of Sussex made the Duchess of Cambridge cry days before her wedding in May 2018.

However, during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Duchess of Sussex made it clear that "the reverse happened."

Meghan explained to Oprah: "A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something—yes, the issue was correct, about the flower girl dresses—and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings."

She continued: "And I thought in the context of everything else that was going on in those days leading to the wedding, it didn't make sense to not be just doing whatever everyone else is doing, which was trying to be supportive knowing what was going on with my dad and whatnot."

Meghan said Kate had "apologized and I [had] forgiven her," but explained that the palace never corrected the false claims even though she specifically asked them to.

Now, an email has been released to show Meghan pointing out her concerns.

Harper's Bazaar royal reporter Omid Scobie revealed part of the email that Meghan wrote to royal aides.

The email had been sent when royal aides asked Prince Harry to cosign a statement squashing rumors that Prince William "constantly bullied" Prince Harry and Meghan Markle before they stepped down from senior royal duties.

According to Scobie's source, Meghan emailed the Palace back, writing: "Well, if we're just throwing any statement out there now, then perhaps KP (Kensington Palace) can finally set the record straight about me [not making Kate cry.]"

Scobie reports that "as with many requests made by the couple, her suggestion was ignored" and she was told the Duchess of Cambridge "should never be dragged into idle gossip."

It would be recalled that during his now-famous interview with Oprah, Harry revealed that he had been cut off financially by the royal family and they were only able to survive due to the inheritance left to him by his mother.

"I have what my mum left me and without that, we wouldn't have been able to do this," he said.

Coogler revealed on a recent episode of the Jemele Hill Is Unbothered podcast that working on 'Black Panther II' without Boseman has been the hardest experience of his 'life.

"This is one of the more profound things that I've gone through in my life, having to be a part of keeping this project going without this particular person who is like the glue who held it together," Coogler shared.

"I'm trying to find a work-life balance. But I'm not there yet, so this is without a question the hardest thing I've had to do in my professional life."


Expected to premiere in July 2022, 'Black Panther II' will reportedly pay tribute to Boseman who died last year after a prolonged battle with cancer.

The sequel written by Joe Robert Cole and Ryan Coogler will not recast anyone for the T'Challa role nor will there be a digital double.

Here is how Vector and MI Abaga finally made a song together on, 'Crown of Clay'

Posted: 15 Mar 2021 05:00 AM PDT

Both rappers then decided to title it, 'Crown of Clay.'

In the second quarter of 2020, Nigerian rap OGs and contemporaries, Vector and MI Abaga decided to bury their hatchet and collaborate on a blueprint that will define the face of Nigerian Hip-Hop for years to come.

They collaborated on the landmark 2020 Hennessy Artistry and headlined the monumental three-part series tagged, The Conversation. Now they will also collaborate for the 2020 Hennessy VS Class and more.

But more importantly, something that couldn't happen during the impressive 'King Kong (Remix)' run nor during the Choc Boiz run has finally happened.


Asides from appearing on impactful tracks like 'I No Send You' by Suspekt, 'Define Rap' by VJ Adams, Freestyle Three of the 2020 Hennessy Cyphers and 'One on One (Remix)' by Zorro, both MI Abaga and Vector have agreed to make a song. It is about the kingship and riches of the blackness with a strong focus on heritage, identity and gender balance.

After Pheelz was contacted by Vector, a beat was immediately sent in. Vector and MI Abaga then had a recording session that featured producers like; Pheelz, Beats By Jay, Self, and CUBIX at Eko Pearl Towers, Eko Atlantic, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The song was recorded after MI Abaga slightly modified the subject matter. Both rappers then decided to title it, 'Crown of Clay.' The production is characterized by a melodious choral section and Mike Dean-esque bleating bass riffs as well as authoritative African drums that gets supported by elements of African percussion.

Vector delivers in English and Yoruba. He also delivers impressive lines filled with quotable and a subtle commentary on the commotion that is the audio-based social media platform, Clubhouse.

After Abaga opened the bar off, he provided a female balance to Vector's male perspective. It was also interesting that Abaga, a Jos-bred rapper, referenced Sango.

After both rappers launched onto the scene more than 10 years ago, it's interesting that their names still largely keep the fire burning in Nigerian Hip-Hop. Thus, this collaboration is perfectly-timed, not late.

The song was mixed by Beats By Jay and mastered by Michael Manitshana, a 25-year veteran. Pheelz provided backing vocals and the hook.

The song was released on Vector's GRAP Entertainment Limited.
