The latest piece from the New York Magazine offshoot is headlined: “King Charles’ Reign of Bustle Begins,” which comes just days before the Queen’s funeral, which is scheduled for Monday.
The article points to reports that Charles had two “outbursts” in the days following his mother’s death. One was the report that he stormed out of a signing ceremony in Northern Ireland when a pen leaked on him, and another was when he “queued and whistled at palace aides who failed to move a tray of pens from his table with due haste. ‘
The king apparently gestured to aides to help him make room in a cluttered office.
The Cut goes on to cite a report from the Guardian in which Charles allegedly chose to tell nearly 100 staffers he was letting them go as he prepares to move into Buckingham Palace during a memorial service for his mother. A source told the newspaper: “Everyone is absolutely furious, including the private secretaries and the senior team.”
In August, Markle told the Cut that she and Prince Harry were “happy” to leave Britain and “upset the dynamics of the hierarchy … just existing” before stepping down as front-line royals and moving to North America.

The article concludes with one of Meghan Markle’s many unproven claims against Charles, that he was racist to her son Archie, and accuses him of “worldly cruelty” to his wife, Princess Diana.
Infamously, shortly after the Queen’s death, the Cut published an article entitled: “I will not weep over the death of a violent oppressor.”
The piece was an interview with Carnegie Mellon linguistics professor Uju Anya, who tweeted Thursday: “Heard the arch-monarch of a rapacious, rapacious, stealthy genocidal empire finally dies. Let her pain be excruciating.’
Anya told the Cut that Queen was a “spokesperson for the cult of white womanhood.”
The Cut launched in 2008 as a section on New York Magazine’s website and became a stand-alone brand in 2012. It was owned by Vox Media, which publishes titles such as Thrillist, Eater and The Verge.
She has published such controversial takedowns as a 2018 article referring to Priyanka Chopra as a “global con artist” in relation to her relationship with Nick Jonas and an open forum for spreading unverified reports of sexual misconduct by men in journalism.
Anya, a professor of applied linguistics at the University of Pittsburgh, is the daughter of a Trinidadian mother and a Nigerian father.
She told NBC News that she is a “child of colonialism” and that her perspective was shaped by Britain’s role in the Nigerian civil war.
“My earliest memories were of living in a war-torn area, and the reconstruction is still not over today,” he said.
She defended her anti-monarchy remarks and added that the Queen was not exempt from decisions made by the British government “overseeing her”.
“Queen Elizabeth was a representative of the cult of the white woman,” Anya said.
“There’s this perception that she was this little old lady, the granny type with her hats and her purses and her dogs and everything, as if she inhabited this place or this space in the imaginary, this public image , as one who did “I have no hand in the bloodshed of her Crown.”
Uju Anya, a black professor of applied linguistics at the University of Pittsburgh, said Friday: “Queen Elizabeth was a representative of the cult of white womanhood.”
Shortly before the Queen’s death was announced on Thursday, Anya tweeted that she hoped her death would be “austere”.
In August, Markle told the Cut that what the couple wanted when they wanted financial freedom wasn’t “reinventing the wheel.”
The article also heard Harry suggest some members of the royal family “can’t work and live together”, while Meghan revealed her husband told her he had “missed” his father Prince Charles.
Meghan also said: ‘I’m back… on Instagram’ – with Davies describing her ‘eyes on fire and devilish’. It comes after she shut down all her social media accounts ahead of her wedding to Harry in 2018. But further down in the article, it says: “Later, Meghan would say she was no longer sure she would actually return to Instagram.”
And Meghan said she spoke to a South African cast member of The Lion King in London in 2019 who told her: ‘When you married into this family we cheered in the streets like we did when Mandela was released from prison ».
Meghan said she and Prince Harry were “happy” to leave Britain and “disrupt the dynamics of the hierarchy … just being there” before stepping down as front-line royals and moving to North America.
Before their interview was released, The Cut published an article titled: “People will accuse Meghan Markle of lying about anything.” That piece was about Markle’s claim that there had been a fire in Archie’s room before the former royal couple attended an event and cited several commentators’ claims that the event was exaggerated.

The Cut reported today that Meghan, 41, listed a “handful of princes and princesses and dukes who have the same arrangement they wanted,” though none of those royals are named in the article.
And Meghan, speaking to New Yorker feature writer Alison P Davies, said: “That, for whatever reason, we weren’t allowed to do, even though a lot of other family members do exactly that.”
Asked ‘Why do you think that is?’, she replied simply: ‘Why do you think that is?’, with interviewer Davies saying that she said it ‘right back with a side eye that suggests I should understand without it having to be said’ .
The article states that Harry and Meghan have proposed to ‘The Firm’ that they be allowed to work for the monarchy but make their own money, with the Duchess saying: “Then maybe all the noise will stop.”
The article says: “They also thought it best to leave the UK (and the British press) to do so. They were willing to go to virtually any commonwealth, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, anywhere.
”Anything simply… because just by existing, we were subverting the dynamics of the hierarchy. So we go, “Okay, okay, let’s get out of here. I’m glad,” he says, throwing his hands up in virtual defeat.
“Meghan claims that what they were asking for was not ‘reinventing the wheel’ and lists a handful of princes and princesses and dukes who have the same arrangement they wanted.
”That, for whatever reason, is not something we were allowed to do, even though many other family members do this very thing.
Why do you think this is happening? I’m asking. ‘Why do you think this is happening?’ he says right back with a side eye that suggests I should understand without having to be told.
The Duchess was asked during the interview if there could be forgiveness between her and her family as well as members of the royal family.
He told The Cut: “I think forgiveness is very important. It takes a lot more energy not to forgive. But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I’ve really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything.”
The article also mentions Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, a retired lighting director who now lives in Mexico.
The report said Meghan discussed how two families had been ‘torn apart’.
And he quotes Meghan as saying: “Harry said to me, ‘I’ve lost my dad in this process.’ It doesn’t have to be the same for them as it was for me, but that’s his decision.’
