Wait, Are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the 'Love Actually' Kids?


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal engagement has been very distracting this week. Between news of Harry’s real first name and the blinding dazzle of Markle’s ring, the approaching holiday season, with all the classic movies that come along with it, has almost been eclipsed—almost. Luckily, comedian Travon Free remembered to have his annual Love Actually viewing, because he made a fantastic discovery—Harry and his bride to be look a lot like grown-up versions of the film’s cutest almost couple, Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) and Joanna (Olivia Olson).

Free first tweeted out a side-by-side image of the real-life couple and their adorable fictional doppelgangers, according to HuffPost, immediately putting the puzzle pieces together for all the fans of the film. Even Olivia Olson, aka American Joanna, agrees the resemblance is there, posting the side-by-sides on her Instagram with the caption, “Memedom congrats to the happy couple…lol.”

Of course, fans do know exactly what happened to “grown-up Sam and Joanna,” after the continuation of their love story was addressed in a short Love Actually “sequel” released this summer for Red Nose Day. In the short film, Sam, now in his late 20s, meets up with his dad (Liam Neeson), who was so supportive of his youthful courtship, to tell him he’s reunited with Joanna and the two are engaged. It’s truly a love story for the ages, now tied to another great love story.

Go ahead and take this as your Yuletide reminder to rewatch the greatest British anthology Christmas rom-com ever made, and listen to “All I Want For Christmas Is You” on repeat while gazing at photos of Meghan and Prince Harry. A Merry Christmas, indeed.

Prince Harry Says It's 'Unbelievable' That He's Engaged to Meghan Markle


There are a lot of jokes made about redheads—that they have no soul, etc. But one thing that should definitely be taken seriously? Royal redhead Prince Harry’s love for his new fiancé Meghan Markle.

On Friday, the pair made their first official royal outing to Nottingham, an English city a few hours north of London. In Nottingham, they visited the National Justice Museum and the Nottingham Contemporary, where they celebrated World AIDS Day and met with activists pushing for increased HIV/AIDS testing, according to the official Kensington Palace Twitter account. Before attending any events, though, Markle and Prince Harry were greeted in the town center by enthusiastic Nottingham residents. A reporter posted a video of the meet and greet on Twitter, including a moment when a well-wisher asked Harry how it feels “as a ginger” to be with Markle. “It’s great, isn’t it?” Harry responded with a laugh, before repeating his impromptu interviewer’s remark that it’s “unbelievable.”

Harry and the Suits actress announced their engagement earlier this week in a statement posted on the official Twitter account for Clarence House, the residence of Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla. It was later revealed by a spokesperson for the royal family that the wedding will take place at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in May 2018—and yes, it will be televised.

In a joint interview with the BBC‘s Mishal Husain shortly after the announcement, Markle and Prince Harry opened up about Harry’s proposal, which took place on a low-key Sunday night while they were cooking roast chicken together. “It was just an amazing surprise. It was so sweet and natural and very romantic,” Markle said. “She didn’t even let me finish. She said, ‘Can I say yes, can I say yes?'” Harry added. “Then there was hugs and I had the ring in my finger. I was like, ‘Can I give you the ring?’ She was like, ‘Oh yes, the ring!’ It was a really nice moment, just the two of us. And I think I managed to catch her by surprise as well.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Just Did Their First Official Engagement as a Couple


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have had quite the week. The excitement kicked off Monday morning, when the couple officially announced their engagement. They followed this up with a gorgeous (but short) photo call and then a sit-down interview, where Prince Harry revealed how he proposed—roast chicken was involved—and the world learned a little more about Markle, who was best known for her role on Suits before this royal insanity began. Kensington Palace announced shortly after that Markle and Prince Harry would be completing their first engagement as a couple on Friday (December 1) at the Terrence Higgins Trust World AIDS Day charity in Nottingham.

And that day has come: Photos popped up on the Internet earlier this morning of Markle and Prince Harry at the event—shaking hands with citizens, smiling, accepting flowers—and they look almost too perfect for words. Don’t believe me? Check out these photos for yourself, below, and prepare to love Markle and Prince Harry more than you already do.

How many people in this crowd do you think have seen Suits?

Meghan Markle Would've Been Written Off 'Suits' Even if Her Relationship With Prince Harry Didn't Work Out


On the surface, it may appear that Meghan Markle’s departure from USA’s hit legal drama Suits will negatively affect the show going forward—she was one of its most popular stars even prior to her relationship with Prince Harry, after all. But now that she’s engaged to a handsome ginger prince with a royal wedding on the horizon, Suits’ showrunner is coming forward with some truly remarkable sentiments about Markle’s involvement with the show. Mostly, that her departure was actually written over a year ago, owing to an intuition that the duo would later be married.

“I knew from a year ago that this relationship was burgeoning,” Aaron Korsh explained on BBC Radio 4’s Today show, confirming seven season was creatively planned to be her last season. “And I had a decision to make because I didn’t want to intrude and ask her, ‘Hey, what’s going on and what are you going to do?’ So collectively with the writers, we decided to take a gamble that these two people were in love and it was going to work out.”

It turns out that optimism for Markle’s future, mostly, was the fuel for their self-proclaimed gamble. “What we decided to do [was to] say, ‘Look, I would rather have good things happen to Meghan in her life,’ which would likely mean her leaving the show,” Korsh continued. “So let’s plan on that and it’s much easier to undo that, if it came to it, than to just plan on her staying forever and then finding out she’s going to go.” Honestly, kudos on their part for anticipating a real-life fairy tale.

If you’re unfamiliar with Suits, Markle has been playing a headstrong paralegal-turned-lawyer since the show’s debut in 2011. Her final six episodes will begin airing in early 2018, as the network (astutely) decided to break the season up into two parts.

Prince William Hopes Prince Harry Will Stay Out of His Fridge Now That He's Engaged to Meghan Markle


If you have a pulse, then you probably know Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are engaged. Their nuptials are all anyone can talk about lately—and they’re not even tying the knot until May 2018.

Loved ones from both Markle and Prince Harry’s family have come out in support of the couple. On Monday, the day their engagement was announced, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, released a joint statement that read, “We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together.”

Middleton then followed this up with a solo soundbite: “William and I are absolutely thrilled,” she said. “It’s such exciting news. It’s a really happy time for any couple, and we wish them all the best and hope they enjoy this happy moment.”

And now Prince William is doing the same. Cameras caught the Duke of Cambridge leaving an ice rink in Finland Wednesday (November 29) and asked him his thoughts on Markle and Prince Harry’s engagement. His reply was sweet and standard: “We’re very excited,” he said. “Delighted for them both. Wishing them all the happiness during this exciting time…They’ve got a lot of happy times ahead of them.” However, he added something to his statement that’s both hilarious and strange: He hopes Prince Harry will stay out of his fridge now that he’s engaged. Wait, what?

“Personally, I hope it means [Prince Harry] stays out of my fridge and will stop him scrounging my food, which he’s done for the last few years,” Prince William said. Hear it for yourself, below:

What does this…mean? Was single Prince Harry unable to properly nourish himself? Did Prince William and Middleton have to reheat their leftovers for him? Was life before Markle so distressing that Prince Harry forgot where his own fridge was?

Who knows, but this quote is everything. Fingers crossed Prince William buys his brother a fridge as an engagement gift.
