We Just Got a Bunch of Details About Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's New Life as Parents


Much to the delight of royals fans, Meghan Markle put her maternity leave on pause over the weekend to make an appearance at Trooping the Colour, wearing her wedding dress designer, Givenchy, and sporting a new ring that many believe was a gift from her husband, Prince Harry. It was the first time we’ve seen the Duchess of Sussex since she and Prince Harry introduced the world to their son, Archie Harrison. “This is similar to the Duchess of Cambridge’s maternity leave where she made a few appearances at family and personal events (Trooping the Colour and Wimbledon) but did not carry out any official duties as a member of the Royal Family during maternity leave,” a source told Elle.

Sources also tell Elle that Markle and Prince Harry are happily settling into parenthood. “[Archie] is the cutest little thing I’ve ever seen. They couldn’t be happier,” one insider said. The report also mentions that the Duchess of Sussex is breastfeeding and that Prince Harry is very involved with everything, including diaper changes. He’s “enjoying every minute of it,” according to a source, and “Meghan is radiant, taking each day one day at a time…what strikes me most is this authentic peacefulness that has settled within her.”

Prince Harry’s good friend, Nacho Figueras says, per Elle, “I met the baby in London before playing polo with [Prince Harry] in Rome, and he was very good with the baby. He’s a natural, he knows what to do. He’s already an amazing father.”

Sources tell Elle that the Sussexes are enjoying their new home in Windsor, and that it is “providing the family with so much happiness”: “It is quiet and out of the hustle and bustle of London. For them all to be able to walk freely and enjoy the beautiful area is such a sensational treat.”

Reportedly, Archie has had a quite a few visitors, including Kate Middleton and Prince William, Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, and Markle’s best friend, Jessica Mulroney, along with her daughter Ivy, who was a bridesmaid at Markle and Prince Harry’s royal wedding last year.

As for Markle, a source says she may make “intermittent appearances” while her maternity leave continues—and we may even get our second Archie sighting during his christening in a few weeks. We can’t wait.

The Big Bang Theory Series Finale Details: The Producers Explain the Biggest Moments


Michael Yarish

That’s funny. I said this at Paleyfest last year, but my theory was that in the finale Penny was going to wake up from a nightmare where in reality she’s the expert scientist and the guys were just dudes she knows.

Prady: Well, pragmatically Penny was always the smartest one. Look, one of the driving ideas in The Big Bang Theory is intelligence is not an asset in so many aspects of life.

So true. Let’s talk about the elevator working again. That payoff was amazing. How long did it take to come up with the reveal?

Holland: It’s interesting, because when we were breaking out the finale that moment was going to come much, much later in the episode. Then as we were breaking out the episode, it just felt right. It felt like Sheldon was dealing with so much change and was at his breaking point. It seemed like the one thing that could push him over the edge. Also, it coming so early in the finale felt like it would be a much bigger surprise because no one would be expecting it to happen that early.

Penny is the first to ride in the elevator, so with her in mind, had you guys discussed revealing her maiden name? Or having her return to her acting roots?

Molaro: Never discussed it. It still falls under the category of superstition for us. Even though we finished the series, we’re still somehow afraid revealing that will get us canceled. [Laughs]

Prady: It’s also one of those odd things where characters got last names when they needed them. Chuck likes names because of how they sound, while I’m a hunting-for-deep-meaning kind of guy. For example, in the original version of the pilot, Leonard and Sheldon found her on the street. In my mind, she was a lucky penny. And then Leonard and Sheldon’s names came from [producer/writer/actor] Sheldon Leonard.

Here’s another funny story: Stuart didn’t have a last name, but there were [audition] sides that went out and he was given a temporary last name of Bloom just for them. Fans got ahold of those sides because they go out on websites for actors to download, and so his last name appeared in an online database. I remember looking at it in the writers’ room, and we were like, “That’s his last name?!” We were all baffled by it. So we said, “OK, well, that’s it” and put it in. But the Penny thing definitely became a superstition.

Shamy fans were hoping that Amy would be pregnant in the finale, or they’d see them with kids in a flash forward. What was the reason not to show that, since we know they do become parents one day?

Prady: I think the feeling was because that’s a reveal on Young Sheldon, it had no weight as a Big Bang finale reveal. It winds up being an “Oh, by the way…” kind of thing.

The Nobel speech that Sheldon and Amy gave in Stockholm was perfection. How hard was that to get right?

Holland: That’s the piece of the finale we’ve probably known for the longest. Since we found out this was the last season we talked about where we wanted to land, and the Nobel prize ceremony was a thing we knew early on. That moment in that speech was a thing we knew we wanted to do, so that’s probably the piece we’ve been thinking about longer than any other part of the finale.

Molaro: We were all crying our eyes out in the writers’ room while we were writing it. Everybody. The speech was moving to begin with, but because we were getting close to typing the words “End of Series” on the screen it was a tough day.

All the Details About Arya Stark's Mysterious New Weapon on *Game of Thrones*


Warning: This post contains spoilers for Game of Thrones season eight.

The return of Game of Thrones brought joy to millions last night. And while it was great to see Arya Stark back together with what’s left of her family, an even more intriguing plot line emerged around a mysterious new weapon she commissioned.

Here’s what happened in the episode: Arya goes to visit Gendry, where they engage in some mildly flirtatious banter, and then she asks him if he can forge her the weapon she desires.”Here’s my wish,” she says while handing Gendry a sketch. “Can you make it?” Gendry is confused as to why she needs this new tool, considering she already has her sword and a recently-acquired dagger made of Valyrian steel.

HBO

From the looks of the drawing, the weapon seems to come in two parts—both with pointy ends. Vanity Fair‘s Joanna Robinson points out that this new design was perhaps what GoT weapons master Tommy Dunne was referring to on their “Still Watching” podcast. “There is one creation in season eight that is absolutely phenomenal,” he said. “It’ll be a showstopper. That was great to finish. It was great to make, [so] great to design it that it was about to be reverse-engineered and made into two different items.”

Robinson also notes that we may have seen Arya using this spear-like creation in the trailer for season eight. The sketch shows there is dragonglass on the weapon, one of the things that can actually kill a White Walker—so it will possibly come in handy as the Night King’s troops are fast approaching. Some surmise the other end might actually be Valyrian steel.

Fans on social media were excited by this development.

Will this new commission be the turning point in the battle against the dead? Possibly the thing that actually takes out the Night King himself? We shall see.

We Just Got a Bunch of Details About Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's New House


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are very busy royals these days. Not only are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex preparing for the birth of their first child, they’ve moved into a new house, launched an Instagram account, and just this morning we learned Prince Harry is teaming up with Oprah Winfrey for a new docuseries about metal health.

Luckily, it sounds like the royal couple will get to relax a bit before their baby arrives now that they’re settled into their new home, Frogmore Cottage, in Windsor—a wedding gift from the queen. And, in a not-so-surprising twist, their new digs sound amazing. “One of the reasons they wanted to be in Windsor was to have space and privacy,” a source tells Vanity Fair. “They felt very overlooked at Kensington Palace. At Frogmore they can go to ground, which at the moment suits them perfectly.” Apparently, “Fort Knox”-level security measures have been put into place. “No one can get close. Harry and Meghan have made Frogmore their very own fortress,” another source tells Vanity Fair. “Right now it seems they just want to hide away.”

We don’t have any photographs of the estate’s renovations, but it’s been reported the couple built an annex to the home for guests—specifically Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, who’s expected to be in the U.K. for the birth of her first grandchild. The space could also be used for a nanny if they opt for one. They also planted an organic vegetable garden, according to the Daily Mail, which seems super on-brand for Markle, whose first major project as a royal was the charity cookbook, Together.

And just because the Sussexes no longer live right by Prince William and Kate Middleton doesn’t mean they won’t have royal neighbors. The queen herself is often nearby at Windsor Castle and Sophie, Countess of Wessex—who is married to Prince Charles’ younger brother, Prince Edward—lives close with Edward and their two children. “The queen likes the idea of Sophie being an unofficial mentor to Meghan,” a family friend tells Vanity Fair. “Sophie is often at Windsor taking the kids riding on the queen’s horses and playing at the castle. It’s a quiet lifestyle, very much the kind Harry and Meghan want for their little one.”

It all sounds pretty idyllic, if you ask us. Now let’s hope we get a glimpse inside Frogmore sometime soon—perhaps once Baby Sussex arrives.

'Killing Eve' Season 3 Details: Here’s Everything We Know So Far


It’s good to be a Killing Eve fan right now, considering the show returned for its second season premiere last night and has already been renewed for a new season this morning. BBC America announced that the show will be returning for a third season, but that’s not too surprising: The series is a hit, after all. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Killing Eve saw week-over-week growth in its first season in both the adults 25-54 and 18-49 demographics, a rare feat in the on-demand video age.

The series stars Sandra Oh as Eve Polastri, an M16 operative who attempts to track down a dangerous assassin named Villanelle (played by Jodie Comer). The women soon become deeply obsessed with one another, and a cat-and-mouse game like no other ensues. The season two premiere picked right where the drama left off in the season one finale, guaranteeing the journey ahead will be just as fascinating and intense.

But what about this new season three? What’s next for this thrilling, heart-pounding show? Here’s everything we know so far about season three. Check back often—we’ll keep updating as more details come in.

There will be a new showrunner for season three. Killing Eve truly is a show made for women by women. For season three, British writer Suzanne Heathcote (from Fear the Walking Dead) will take over for Emerald Fennell. (Fennel took over from season one creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge.)

“I’m very excited that the Killing Eve baton is being passed onto another incredible writer for season three. We can sleep soundly knowing these characters are safe in Suzanne Heathcote’s hilariously murderous hands,” Waller-Bridge told The Hollywood Reporter.

“We love having this show and the brilliant Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, and Fiona Shaw on our networks,” AMC Networks group president Sarah Barnett added in a statement. “Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Emerald Fennell have delivered two addictively entertaining seasons. As we did last year, we’re renewing Killing Eve right out of the gate, now with Suzanne Heathcote as lead writer, as a sign of confidence—we adore this show as much as our fans do. Killing Eve doesn’t do anything in a templated way; we love giving opportunity to three genius women to make their mark.”

Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, and Fiona Shaw will likely return. Based on the statement above, it’s safe to assume that we’ll continue to follow Eve and Villanelle, along with Eve’s boss (played by Shaw). The rest of the cast is unknown at this time.

Past showrunners will still stay on to executive produce. The new team won’t be left in the lurch. As The Hollywood Reporter explains, Sally Woodward Gentle, co-showrunner on season two, will stay on as one of the executive producers on season three. She will be joined by Lee Morris, Waller-Bridge, Gina Mingacci, Damon Thomas, Sandra Oh, and Jeff Mevloin.

This Is Us Season Three Finale Details: Executive Producers Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger Answer the Biggest Questions


Caution: Spoilers for the This Is Us season three finale ahead.

This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman was spot-on when told us the last five minutes of the season three finale are as “big and sprawling and epic as we get.” After much back and forth, Randall and Beth finally were on the same page with plans to move to Philadelphia, where Beth will open a dance studio and Randall will continue his political career. Kate and Toby brought baby Jack home from the NICU. Rebecca and Miguel were preparing to move to Los Angeles. And Zoe and Kevin broke up when it became obvious they’ll never be on the same page about having kids.

Then things got really interesting. In the future, we learned that Beth and Randall are still together (thanks for the season-long anxiety about that, writers!) and Kevin has a pre-teen son. Kevin’s also seemed to be doing well for himself, as evidenced by that sprawling house the Pearsons gathered at to visit an ailing Rebecca.

Speaking of Rebecca, she looked like a fraction of her 60-something self, complete with long white hair and an emotionless expression. When Randall entered her room, he heartbreakingly had to remind her who he is. (Does this mean she’s suffering from a form of Alzheimer’s disease?) At her bedside wasn’t her husband, Miguel, but Jack’s estranged brother, Nicky. (Who, by the way, was looking much better in this future timeline.)

Oh, and future Kate? She was nowhere to be found. When Toby mentioned Jack, he said “they’re on their way.” But that doesn’t mean he was talking about his wife. And, if Kate is alive, it doesn’t sound like Katoby are an item still. (Anyone else notice that Toby wasn’t wearing a wedding ring?)

With our heads spinning and our hearts racing, we called up executive producers and co-showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger to fill us in on exactly what’s going on in the future. Read on.

NBC

Glamour: Let’s start with the basics: How many years in the future are we when we see Rebecca lying in bed?

Elizabeth Berger: We haven’t decided exactly how many years in the future we’re at, but we’ve imagined it as roughly 12-15 years.

Yes or no, Rebecca has a form of Alzheimer’s or dementia?

Isaac Aptaker: Possibly. Or possibly this is someone near the end of their life experiencing a lack of awareness and confusion that comes with extreme old age.

EB: We can’t say exactly what’s going on with her, but we will be learning exactly what’s going on with her as we move forward in our story.

How close to death is she? Is it a matter of hours, where everyone is gathering to say goodbye?

IA: I think it definitely feels like she’s very near the end of her life and that her passing is imminent and that’s why everyone has decided to descend upon Kevin’s house.

We see Nicky sitting at her bedside. Does Rebecca think Nicky is Jack? If she does have a form of Alzheimer’s, a lot of people remember the past better than the present day.

EB: It’s a totally cool theory and totally possible. Obviously we can’t say what’s going on until we learn more of what is going on with Rebecca, but it’s a very interesting take on it.

Nicky has also aged better than anyone else.

IA: That wasn’t an accident. We wanted the read to be on Nicky that though he is older, we’re seeing a guy in a better place than when we last left him. The fact that he aged really well shows he’s in a much better place mentally and physically than when we left him in that trailer.
