Prince Harry Reportedly ‘Feels Terrible’ For Hurting Queen Elizabeth II


While Prince Harry stands by his decision to step back from his royal duties, he reportedly feels terrible for hurting Queen Elizabeth II in the process.

According to a source with Us Weekly, the ensuing drama and quarrels were never a part of his plan. “He feels terrible about hurting his grandmother, whom he adores,” the source says.

The same source also claims that the decision may have been more about his wife, Megan Markle, than himself. If the source is to be believed, Harry (who’s just going by his first name now) is feeling “a bit isolated” in Canada. “He misses nights out with his boys, polo matches and rugby, and he’s really been craving a decent pint,” the source claims. “He had to put his wife first, end of story. Even if it’s left him feeling a bit isolated.”

Back in January, the royal couple announced their decision to step back. “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” the duke and duchess wrote on Instagram. “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.” Was this really only two months ago? It feels like this has been going on for years.

Fast-forward to February, royal historian Robert Lacey told People that the queen may feel particularly in tune with Prince Harry’s feelings. “She has a particular sensitivity to what Harry has been going through because of her closeness to Margaret and seeing the same dramas and tensions played out two generations ago,” Lacey said. He added, “The younger-sibling syndrome is an enduring problem. The system has not found a way of giving them the recognition that they need.”

Through it all, the queen plans to be there for her grandson. “She won’t dwell on the exit,” royal biographer Ingrid Seward also told People. “She is very pragmatic. She has left the door open for Harry especially.”

So basically, no hard feelings all around.

Meghan Markle Reportedly Feels “Picked On” by the Royals


Prince “Just Call Me” Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly not feeling the love over all this royal drama.

According to The Daily Mail, Meghan’s “friends” are saying she and Harry feel “picked on” over all the new sanctions on when and where the couple can use their titles and the restriction on the use of the word royal. Meghan, according to a source, doesn’t appreciate the insinuation that she and Harry would use the title for financial gain.

Starting on April 1st, Meghan and Harry will no longer be able to use royal in any of their branding (we’ll miss you, @sussexroyal). On February 21st, the couple’s spokesperson released a statement clarifying the new rules.

“While The Duke and Duchess are focused on plans to establish a new non-profit organisation, given the specific UK government rules surrounding the use of the word ‘Royal,’ it has been therefore agreed that their non-profit organisation will not utilise the name ‘Sussex Royal’ or any other iteration of ‘Royal,’” the statement said on their website. “For the above reason, the trademark applications that had been filed as protective measures and that reflected the same standard trademarking requests as done for The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have been removed.”

Unfortunately, according to Us Weekly, this public statement high-key upset Queen Elizabeth II and caused another round of family drama. “She’s so disappointed that her own grandchild would heap so much embarrassment on the monarchy and bring all this unwanted attention on his family at the worst possible time,” a source told the publication.

Now The Daily Mail source claiming to be close with the couple says it’s Meghan and, by extension, Harry who feel slighted. Apparently, there are rumors that the queen only put all these rules in place to avoid backlash from other, possibly jealous, members of the family and court.

Honestly, it seems like everyone involved would like to fast-forward through the next couple of months of this transition. While the queen has been very supportive of Meghan Markle and (Prince) Harry’s choice to step back from senior royal duties and life in the U.K. (reportedly urging the family “not to obstruct their aspirations for a new life”), it’s all taken a bit of a toll. A source recently revealed to Vanity Fair that “this has been rather hurtful for her” and that Her Royal Highness just wants it “over and done with.”

On that, at least, it seems everyone can agree.

Elizabeth Banks Says She Still Feels ‘Judged’ for Using a Surrogate


Elizabeth Banks has a massively successful career as an actress, producer, writer, and director (most recently of the new Charlie’s Angels reboot) so it’s hard to imagine anyone questioning anything about her. But there is one area that she says she still feels judged about: surrogacy.

Banks and her husband, Max Handelman, have two sons—Felix, 8, and Magnus, 7—who were both born via a surrogate. In a new interview with Porter magazine, she opened up about the subject saying surrogacy was the option the couple chose due to fertility issues (which she called a “broken belly”).

“Women’s reproductive issues were things you would whisper about in small circles,” she said. “[Now,] there’s #ShoutYourAbortion and IVF Facebook groups. I definitely think I’m still judged for what I’ve done and that people don’t understand my choices, but I don’t feel I owe anybody any explanation. And, if my story helps people feel less alone on their journey, then I’m grateful for that.”

Surrogacy has certainly become a more vocal topic in mainstream media and Hollywood in recent years. Along with Banks, celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Kardashian, and Gabrielle Union have opened up about using a surrogate. “People want to see the bump, hear that you got hemorrhoids; they want to know you’re like them,” Union has said about her decision to use a surrogate after years of struggling with infertility. “I was like, ‘This is going to seem like the most Hollywood shit ever. Will I be embraced as a mom?’ It’s terrifying.”

And at this year’s Glamour Women of the Year Wards, comedian Michelle Buteau spoke candidly about owning her decision to use a surrogate—also after spending years (and thousands of dollars) on infertility treatments. She’s now the proud mother of twins, Hazel and Otis. “I wanted to find the good in all of it, because that’s what you do sometimes. And so when my surrogate was pregnant and going into labor, my husband, my mother, and I went to the bar next door and had a bottle of Malbec,” she said.

“I just want to let you guys know that whatever you want in life, I want it for you,” Buteau added. “It might not be the way you planned or you want, but never give up because you can get your shit together and get what you want in life.”

Here's How Selena Gomez Reportedly Feels About Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin's Wedding


Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin legally married in September 2018 but waited an entire year to celebrate their nuptials with friends and family. On Monday, September 30, the couple gathered their loved ones around for a much buzzed-about party on the South Carolina coast. Details about the bash are sparse, but Bieber did share a photo of the couple kissing on his Instagram and captioned it, “My bride is ?.”

Unsurprisingly, fans are bringing Selena Gomez’s name into this story. The “Wolves” singer famously dated Bieber on and off for about a decade, but they called things off for good in 2018. “Can justin say selena’s name [at the altar] instead of hailey …i want some drama ..,” one fan tweeted yesterday, while another wrote, “imagine when Justin pulls a Ross and says Selena’s name instead of Hailey’s.”

But Bieber and Baldwin’s wedding is the furthest thing from Gomez‘s mind, according to this new report from Us Weekly.

“Selena knows she’s better off without Justin, and that it’s the healthiest decision for her,” an insider tells the outlet. “She is open to dating, but right now she is solely focused on herself and enjoying life to the best of her ability, and getting back to being the Selena that she and all of her close ones knew prior to dating Justin.”

The source also added, “She is in a good place. She has been hanging out with old friends and family and keeping herself out of the limelight and away from public places where she might feel bombarded or overwhelmed.”

There you have it, people. Hopefully reports like this get rid of the idea that Selena Gomez is still pining over Justin Bieber. It’s clear she has moved on, and it’s time for all of us, including her well-meaning fans, to move on too.

Here's How Hannah Brown Reportedly Feels About Tyler Cameron and Gigi Hadid's Dates


News that Tyler Cameron went on a date with Gigi Hadid just days after he spent the night with Hannah Brown has been rocking Bachelor Nation all week. Neither Cameron nor Hadid has commented on their recent hang-outs (there have been two that we know of), and Brown’s been incredibly diplomatic with the press. “I have feelings, but I’m also single and he’s single, and I want to keep my options open and he can keep his options open,” she told Entertainment Tonight. Soon after, she told Us Weekly she’s more or less done answering questions about Cameron. “I’m not going to talk about Tyler or any of that stuff. Thank you, next,” she said.

It doesn’t look like Brown’s going to expand on those “feelings” she has any time soon. But if People magazine’s latest report is to be believed, she’s not exactly jumping for joy over the idea of Hadid and Cameron kicking it. “Hannah is not thrilled,” a source tells the outlet. “It’s not that she doesn’t think he’s allowed to date other people, but it’s embarrassing.”

This essentially echoes what Brown told Entertainment Tonight, so no big surprises here. But a separate source gave some details about Hadid and Cameron’s situation that are a little juicy. “Their dates are definitely real and he’s having a good time,” they say. “It’s too soon to say Tyler and Gigi are ‘dating.’ They’re both being purposefully coy.”

Regardless of what’s going on, Hannah Brown has made it clear she wants nothing but happiness for Tyler Cameron, who was the runner-up on her season of The Bachelorette. (Some fans are clamoring for them to get together after the man Brown selected, Jed Wyatt, turned out to have a dramatic previous-relationship history.)

“I’m really appreciative that Tyler has always had my back and supported me through all my decisions. He constantly encourages me to lean into the strong woman that I am,” Brown wrote about Cameron on Instagram. “He’s a really good man, and I’m going to be his biggest fan in whatever makes him the happiest.”

Here’s How Tyler Cameron Really Feels About That Potential Drink Date With Hannah Brown


Never has America looked forward to two people having drinks more than The Bachelorette‘s newly reconciled (well, kinda) Hannah Brown and Tyler Cameron, but here we are. This season’s wildly dramatic finale ended with the former couple agreeing to a date to see where things go.

It wouldn’t have been surprising if Tyler had said no: After all, the runner-up was crushed when Hannah broke up with him right as he was about to propose. But after her engagement to Jed Wyatt fell apart, Hannah admitted she still has feelings for Tyler.

Whether or not that will lead to a relationship is still to be determined—and rightfully so—but Tyler’s now had at least 12 hours to let Hannah’s revelation sink in. So where do things stand? When are those drinks happening? And has he laid into talked to Jed? Here, Tyler opens up about all that and more.

Glamour: Let’s jump right into everything that happened on the finale. How angry are you with Jed now that you know he wasn’t honest with Hannah?

Tyler Cameron: Yeah, I’m just very disappointed in him, in the whole situation. My heart aches for Hannah because when it was down to me, Peter, and Jed, I felt like she was in great hands. As soon as it was just me and Jed, I thought, Okay, if it’s not me, Jed’s going to be the one that takes care of her.

I feel like his feelings for her were genuine, but I was just disappointed to see all this coming out. I don’t think he handled things the right way, and his initial intentions for the show weren’t the right intentions. I was just disappointed overall.

Did you ever have concerns about him during the show, or did you not know about those red flags?

No, not at all. I had no idea about any of his past, so this was all news to me. It was news to all of us. We were pretty blindsided by it, just like you guys were.

Have you talked to him since? If not, what would you want to say to him now?

No, not much. I’d just tell him that I’m disappointed, and I hope he can start taking steps in the right direction. This can be a learning lesson for him.

Many of us still don’t quite understand why Hannah chose Jed in the first place. Did you ever get a clear explanation or understanding from her about why it wasn’t you in the end?
