The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, attended the 70th birthday party of socialite Kris Jenner earlier this month.

The couple looked stunning as they appeared arm-in-arm for Jenner's lavish James Bond-themed party, and were seen schmoozing with the who's who of the elites.

From Bill Gates to Jeff Bezos, whose Beverly Hills mansion hosted the party, the royal couple went around the lot to expand their network.

But trouble came knocking when, after the party, Jenner and her daughter, Kim Kardashian, posted pictures from the night.

Life inside Kensington Palace often carries an air of fairy-tale intrigue, and one would imagine it to be a straight out of a Disney movie, but Meghan Markle found far less charm than the world imagined.

According to royal biographer Tom Quinn, the Duchess once likened the experience to being 'a kind of prison', a contrast to the rumours that swirl around the life of royals.

It revealed the gulf between myth and reality, especially for someone entering this world from the fast and free pace of Hollywood.

Quinn writes in Kensington Palace that Markle arrived with optimism, initially dazzled by the tradition and pageantry.

A new set of documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has shed light on an unusual concern inside his inner circle.

In 2011, as the disgraced financier attempted to claw back what remained of his public standing after his first conviction, he received a detailed reputational management plan.

This urged him to rethink the company he kept, especially his closeness with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson.

At the core of the advice was a simple warning, which stated that staying close to the former Duke and Duchess of York would only deepen the hole he was already in.
