ASSASSINAT­ION ATTEMPT

An ex-cop has claimed that a teenager came close to assassinat­ing the Queen during a royal visit to New Zealand back in 1981 – but the government covered it up! Christophe­r John Lewis, 17, joined the cheering crowds in Dunedin to see the monarch. Armed with a rifle, he shot at the Queen when she stepped out of her vehicle. While it was a close call, Queen Elizabeth wasn’t harmed and the crowd were unaware of the incident, so the parade continued as scheduled.

THE QUEEN FIRES HER BRA-FITTER

What happens in the palace, usually stays in the palace – but it seems that isn’t always the case. Queen Elizabeth has fired her official lingerie fitter, June Keaton, after she published a tell-all book detailing her work with the royal family. June was a regular visitor at Buckingham Palace, where she served several members of the royal family, including the Queen, the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.

RACISM TOWARDS MEGHAN

One of Britain’s top political leaders, Henry Bolton, has been forced to end his relationsh­ip with his girlfriend after she made racist remarks about Prince Harry’s fiancee, Meghan Markle. In a series of text messages, Jo Marney says that Meghan’s ‘seed’ will ‘taint the royal family’ and ‘pave the way for a black king’. The news is sure to come as a shock to Meghan, who has previously written about being proudly bi-racial.

MARIO TESTINO ACCUSED OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT

Ever since he snapped Princess Diana, Mario Testino has been the go-to photograph­er for the royal family – in particular William and Kate. He has taken portraits of the couple for numerous years, including their engagement shoot and Princess Charlotte’s christenin­g. But now, the palace has been rocked by the news that 13 male models and assistants have come forward claiming that the photograph­er threatened to ruin their career if they didn’t comply with his sexual advances.
