Meghan Markle Banned from Oscars Forever, Prince Harry Faces Outrage

The Academy Awards bosses have taken a drastic step by banning Meghan Markle from the Oscars forever.

The decision came after the streaming giant Netflix signed a £112m deal with the couple and wanted them to present the gong for best picture.

However, once Kristen Stewart was nominated for her role as Princess Diana in Spencer, the offer became a much more fraught prospect.

Sources revealed that Netflix was keen on having their two big-name signings involved with this year's Oscars.

For the first time ever, streaming services, especially Netflix, have a chance of cleaning up and winning some big awards.

The Academy Awards bosses pulled out all the stops to make the offer attractive, but it was not meant to be.

Meghan is a huge supporter of women and championing them, so best actress was an obvious category for her.

Sadly, as soon as Kristen Stewart got the nod, she couldn't possibly go on stage and risk handing over an award to the woman who played her husband's late mother.

So that idea was scrapped.

In other news, Prince Harry is facing outrage if he attends the Oscars with Meghan Markle after announcing he will not be attending Prince Philip's memorial.

The Duke of Sussex is to miss his grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh's memorial service on March 29, it has been confirmed.

But it has since been claimed that the couple will attend the Oscars on March 27, according to The Sun.

Royal expert Angela Mollard warned Harry that royal fans will be outraged if he does attend.

Speaking to Australian morning show Sunrise, Ms. Mollard said, “There's a lot of talk it's going to go ahead, but can you really turn up and stand on the stage at the Oscars and not turn up for your grandfather's memorial?

I've got a problem with that.

You do all the glory and handshaking with the celebrities but not your own family.”

Presenter Kylie Gillies interjected, “What's he thinking?

Why wouldn't he be there for his grandfather's memorial?

Leave Meghan at the Oscars.”

Ms. Mollard added that if Harry does attend the Oscars, there will be outrage.

It comes as royal commentator Matt DeGroote has since claimed that Harry's security demands, which could be the reason for not returning, have been from bad advice.

He said, “You look at a bloke who is out of touch with reality, it's that bloke right there.

They spend one half of their life talking about being determined to be private and being determined to stay away from the public eye.

They spend the other half of their life selling their story to the highest bidder then he wants to step away from the royal family, then wants the royal protection, then he doesn't even realize you can go to the UK and hire your own security.

If nothing else just buy your own security.

Every move they make, every piece of advice they give, and every statement he makes publicly takes him further and further away from the guy that three years ago we thought was going to save the royal family.

Now he's making blunder after blunder.”

Ms. Gillies added, “You can do both, it would mean the world to the family.

There's no reason why he cannot.”

Mr. De Groot continued, “It's only because he's being given bad advice and being petty.

There's just no other way for it, and he's making a bad choice.”
