Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Officially Engaged


It’s official: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged.

Kensington Palace released a press release from Clarence House early Monday morning (November 27) on Twitter announcing the news.

“His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms Meghan Markle,” the release reads. “The wedding will take place in spring 2018. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.”

According to the release, Markle and Prince Harry became engaged in London earlier this month, which refutes an earlier report that he popped the question in August on their trip to Africa. “Prince Harry has informed Her Majesty The Queen and other close members of his family,” the release continues. “Prince Harry has also sought and received the blessing of Ms. Markle’s parents.”

See the announcement for yourself, below:

Kensington Palace revealed in another tweet that Prince Harry and Markle will appear for a photo call later this afternoon and will sit down for a broadcast interview that will air this evening, U.K. time.

Markle’s parents, Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland, gave a statement to Kensington Palace wishing their daughter and Prince Harry a lifetime of happiness.

“We are incredibly happy for Meghan and Harry,” they said. “Our daughter has always been a kind and loving person. To see her union with Harry, who shares the same qualities, is a source of great joy and passion for us parents. We wish them a lifetime of happiness and are very excited for their future together.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, also gave a statement wishing Markle and Prince Harry well: “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.”

We’ll update this post with more information as it comes in. Congratulations to Markle and Prince Harry!

This Instagram Post Really Makes It Seem Like Meghan Markle Is Leaving 'Suits' to Be With Prince Harry


It’s been rumored for weeks that Meghan Markle is planning on relocating to England to be closer to her boyfriend, Prince Harry—but the evidence for this has been thin. First, there was the report that claimed she didn’t renew her Audi car lease in Toronto. Then, the Daily Mail said Markle moved her dogs to the U.K. Both of these stories are circumstantial, though. It’s entirely possible Markle ended her car lease for another reason besides moving across the Atlantic ocean.

But a since-deleted Instagram post from Markle’s Suits stand-in offers more concrete proof. Nicky Bursic, who served as Markle’s body double for two years on the hit USA show, posted a farewell message that seemed to imply Markle is leaving. This, interestingly, corroborates Deadline‘s report that Markle is eyeing to exit Suits after its seventh season.

“It’s been an absolute please and honour being your ‘STAND-IN’ for the last 2 seasons @meghanmarkle. Though I’ve been on @suits_usa for 6 years, the latter 2 [have] been my most memorable. Wishing you all the happiness in the world Bella,” she wrote, adding #youdeserveitall and #loveher,” she posted, according to InStyle.

Think about this for a second. Suits turned Markle into a star. She’s known for it, much like Mariska Hargitay in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit or Ellen Pompeo in Grey’s Anatomy. It seems unlikely she’d leave…unless it was for something big. Something like a move to the U.K.

Of course, we don’t know anything for sure yet. Bursic’s post was deleted, after all, so maybe there’s more to the story than we know. That being said, I think it’s safe to get a little excited about this. It’s the strongest evidence we have that points to a second royal wedding. And my heart isn’t ready.

New Genealogical Investigation Reveals Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are Distant Cousins


Meghan Markle was born in California and is the daughter of two film industry veterans. Prince Harry, obviously, hails from England and is an heir to the British throne. Their backgrounds are wildly different, but a new report from The Daily Mail reveals Markle and Prince Harry have more in common than they think. Are you ready for this? According to the publication, they’re cousins—albeit incredibly distant ones. (Fifteenth cousins, to be exact.)

It’s important to remember that being 15th cousins with someone really doesn’t mean much. I’m, like, 80 percent positive everyone is related to everyone if you look back far enough—so don’t let this news stop you from shipping Markle and Prince Harry.

It is an interesting tidbit, though. A genealogical investigation conducted by The Daily Mail shows Markle and Prince Harry are related through a late 15th-century ancestor of the Queen Mother. His name is Ralph Bowes, a High Sheriff of County Durham, who lived from 1480 to 1516. Bowes’ grandson, Christopher Hussey, was a founder of Nantucket, Massachusetts, and his lineage led to the birth of Markle.

Meanwhile, Bowes’ great-grandson, Sir George Bowes, became a member of Parliament during King Charles II’s reign; he and Prince Harry are directly connected—just generations apart. Interesting, right? (You can read The Daily Mail’s full genealogical report here.)

Markle and Prince Harry began dating in October 2016. Their relationship is meticulously covered despite the fact they rarely discuss it publicly themselves. “We’re a couple,” Markle told Vanity Fair over the summer. “We’re in love. I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.”

Are Taylor Swift and Harry Styles Performing at the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?


Taylor Swift and Harry Styles infamously dated from December 2012 to January 2013. It was a short relationship, yes, but a memorable one. The photos of Swift and Styles walking together in a New York City park (see above) sent the pop-music world into a tizzy, and their breakup was even more of a big deal. Fans think Swift wrote two songs about Styles—”I Knew You Were Trouble,” from Red, and “Out of the Woods,” from 1989—though neither has been confirmed.

The two haven’t exactly had the most congenial relationship since their split, either. Remember the time they awkwardly passed each other while out with friends in January 2015? Or when Swift maybe dissed Styles at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards? To be fair, Styles did hint he has no hard feelings toward Swift in an interview with Rolling Stone, but the two haven’t exactly been photographed sharing endless appetizers at T.G.I. Fridays.

But that might change pretty soon. There’s a fan theory floating around the Internet right now that both Styles and Swift will perform at the 2017 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai next month. The evidence? This press release from the Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Administration Bureau, which states Styles and Swift each were issued administrative licenses to perform four songs in the city on November 20—right around the time the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is happening. November 28 is the exact air date, but the show is always filmed in advance.

Check the release out for yourself, below:

If this is true, it’d be Swift’s third time performing at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She hit the stage both in 2013 and 2014; coincidentally, it was at her first show where she met her now-BFF Karlie Kloss. This would be Styles’ first time performing at the event.

It’s unclear if Swift and Styles would sing together, though that seems unlikely. Swift will be in full Reputation promo mode at that time, so she’d probably take the opportunity to perform new material. But you never know! Either way, we’re on board with this quasi-reunion.

Barack Obama, Prince Harry, and Joe Biden Are Now Hanging Out


This past week Prince Harry spent some time with a couple of Very Important People while attending the Invictus Games—a week-long international sporting event he started for injured servicemen and women in Toronto—and honestly, it’s been a gift. One day he posed with First Lady Melania Trump and made some highly inscrutable hand gestures, and the next he was seen for the first time in public (and holding hands with) girlfriend Meghan Markle. The prince was also spotted making no less than 30 silly faces at an adorable young girl who tried to steal his popcorn during the games.

And it gets better (and bro-ier): Prince Harry spent the last day of the event kicking it with former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his wife Jill.

The group looked like they were having the best time, which isn’t surprising considering Prince Harry and Obama are already real-life pals. They’ve hung out together at Kensington Palace, after all. (Same.) And we all know the love couldn’t be more real between Obama and Biden.

Below, we present a few shots of the guys enjoying the games together:

It’s nice to see this group hanging out, especially considering how busy each has been lately. Obama recently dropped his daughter Malia off at college and he’s been fighting for DACA. Prince Harry has been dealing with engagement rumors. And Biden’s been spending plenty of time championing women and generally being a model feminist. He also voiced his support for friend and actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who on Thursday revealed she’s been diagnosed with breast cancer.

So basically, you couldn’t ask for a cooler reunion.

Meghan Markle Wears Misha Nonoo's 'Husband' Shirt While Out With Prince Harry


Still reeling from the sight of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry holding hands at the Invictus Games earlier today? (When it comes to royal courtship, we’ll take any PDA we can get.) Well, get ready, because it turns out that the white button-down blouse the actress was wearing during the outing has a rather interesting name—one that probably (definitely) doesn’t mean anything, but is enough to send Twitter into a tizzy.

At first glance, Markle’s shirt looks like any old button-down. Not much to see, right?

Thanks to Twitter, we found out that the style is by designer Misha Nonoo. Cool, though not super surprising—we know that she and Markle are friends.But—oh, what’s that? The particular blouse she’s wearing is called the ‘Husband’ top? And she wore it on her first public appearance with Prince Harry?

Someone get a pulse on all the royal shippers out there.

As you would expect, more than one Twitter user hopped on the idea that Markle’s $185 ‘Husband’ blouse means something about her relationship status—and, also as expected, fans of the Suits star and the British royal were not upset by the thought.

Another interesting development? Turns out, this might not even be the first time Nonoo plays a role in Markle’s relationship: Hello! reported last fall that it was the designer who introduced the actress and Prince Harry.

Though, to be fair, this isn’t the first time Markle wears Nonoo’s ‘Husband’ shirt—in fact, she Instagrammed herself wearing it last year.

Given the context and her companion, though, this most recent #OOTD will be getting a lot more eyeballs.

You can buy Misha Nonoo’s ‘Husband’ shirt on the designer’s website for $185.
