Hello everyone and welcome back. I've got some truly wild Royal gossip to dish today. Reports are swirling that there was a major confrontation between Meghan Markle and Princess Diana's brother Earl Charles Spencer at his family estate Althorp House in England. According to sources, Meghan had the audacity to demand that Earl Spencer hand over a wing of the sprawling mansion for her and Harry's children to use whenever they please. Now let me provide some context before delving into the shocking details of what went down between these two.

As you likely know, Althorp House has been in the Spencer family for over 500 years and was Diana's childhood home. Earl Spencer remains fiercely protective of the estate and has long been wary of freeloaders trying to exploit his late sister's memory. Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry's relationships with the British Royals continue to deteriorate after moving to the US. Reports say Meghan is eager to return to England periodically for work projects and wants a stately home base when there. However, most Royal residences remain off limits to the estranged couple. That's allegedly where Althorp came into the picture.
According to sources close to Earl Spencer, out of the blue Meghan phoned him up insisting that as Diana's children's stepmother, she and Harry were entitled to live partially at Althorp when in England with their kids Archie and Lilibet. Meghan supposedly saw it as a perfect country getaway whenever she desired and felt the Spencer family owed her access as a favor. But Earl Spencer was said to be absolutely livid. He flatly rejected Meghan's inappropriate demand, sternly informing her that Althorp was a private residence, not some hotel she could book on a whim. Sources say he pointed out how disrespectful it was to the countless generations of Spencers who sacrificed to maintain the estate over five centuries.

Earl Spencer also expressed concerns about intrusions on the property's history and artifacts if left open to the Sussex's haphazardly. This did not sit well with Meghan, apparently. Witnesses claim she flew into a rage accusing Earl Spencer of depriving Archie and Lilibet of their family heritage and cultural roots. Meghan allegedly said it was cruel and unjust not to let Diana's grandchildren experience Althorp when they wanted. But the Earl held his ground, saying Meghan was not entitled to make such demands as she was divorced from the royal family.
Things allegedly escalated as Meghan huffed about still being a countess and Earl's familiar duties. A source relayed she kept shouting things like "you owe this to Diana's memory" and "don't you care about her legacy living on through her grandkids?" While Earl Charles just stood there in stunned silence. Then she threatened to tell Harry what a heartless monster he was being unless he caved. However, Earl Spencer had finally heard enough of Meghan's absurd entitlement. Accounts say he exploded, yelling that Althorp was not her personal property to toy with or exploit children for sympathy.

/p>Things had reached boiling point with Meghan refusing to accept no for an answer. Sources say Earl Spencer terminated the call and promptly slammed his front door behind her. By all accounts steaming red-faced, Meghan was left stranded on the doorstep fuming in defeat. Word has it she screamed a few choice obscenities about the Spencer family while storming off in a rage. Earl Spencer was evidently through playing games with the opportunistic Sussex Duo and signaled any future access demands would be dead on arrival.
So in summary, Meghan overreached drastically by trying to strongarm one of Britain's oldest noble houses into handing over a prized piece of their heritage on a whim, while she likely felt entitled due to Diana links. Earl Spencer clearly saw through such manipulation tactics and shut them down. The centuries old Spencer dukedom will not be held hostage or have its autonomy challenged, especially not by foreign American interlopers. This ugly showdown was the last straw in further fracturing Meghan's already sparse UK ties. Local aristocracy know how quickly Hollywood mega stars can destroy storied dynasties through carelessness and hubris if they get too comfortable. Meghan's shameless power play totally backfired, severely damaging any perceived goodwill left with the shrewd traditionalist Spencers.

It will be very hard, if not impossible, to rebuild burnt bridges from this point. So in summary, don't mess with the proud House of Spencer. While they remain gracious as always towards Harry, they have no qualms slamming the door on opportunistic users trying to co-opt Diana's good name. The moral: stay in your own lane, Meghan, before more doors start getting shut in that famous face of yours across the pond. What are your thoughts on this alleged clash?
