Brad Pitt's BAFTAs Speech Included a Harry Royal Exit Joke—and Kate and William Heard It


Brad Pitt continued his awards season winning streak at the BAFTAs on February 2—both in taking home statues for his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and giving hilarious acceptance speeches. While most Americans were focused on the Super Bowl yesterday, across the pond the Brits were handing out their version of the Oscars at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with Prince William and Kate Middleton in attendance.

Technically Pitt didn’t give this new speech himself; he had costar Margot Robbie read it for him because he couldn’t attend due to “family obligations.” But he wasn’t afraid to go there about Prince Harry‘s highly-publicized royal exit.

“Brad couldn’t be here tonight due to family obligations, so he asked me to read his response for him,” she said. “He starts by saying, ‘Hey Britain. Heard you just became single. Welcome to the club! Wishing you the best for the divorce settlement, blah blah blah.’ He then says, ‘Thank you to the Academy for this extreme honor.’ He says he’s ‘always been a bit intimidated over here given the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and the titans that have come before, so this is especially meaningful.’”

But it was his final joke about Harry that really got everyone laughing—including a highly amused Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. “He’s gonna name this Harry,” Robbie said. “Because he’s really excited about bringing it back to the States with him.” Watch the clip below and you can see the royals’ reactions as the camera cuts to them. Those laughs sure look real to me.

This seems to be, in part, a cheeky joke about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent announcement that they’d be stepping down from the royal family and spending half their time in North America. Whatever the case, Middleton and Prince William appeared in good spirits over the whole thing.

Seriously, who is Brad Pitt working with on all these acceptance speeches? Because they’ve all been stellar. He’s out here cracking jokes about Tinder, his exes, Quentin Tarantino’s thing for feet, and now the Sussexes’ move to North America.

We wonder what he has saved for Oscar night?

You Have to Watch Lizzo and Harry Styles Perform ‘Juice’ Together


The world can be a pretty grim place these days, but then you see a video of Lizzo and Harry Styles performing together and everything looks a little brighter.

Lizzo and Styles surprised fans when she brought out the “Lights Out” singer during a SiriusXM and Pandora concert in Miami ahead of this weekend’s Super Bowl. Their performance of Lizzo’s hit “Juice” was as amazing as you could hope. Not only did they sound great, but Styles even managed to bust out some of Lizzo’s iconic choreo. (Not to mention, Styles was wearing a fantastic sweater that I’d like to steal for my closet immediately.)

Fans on Twitter were very pleased with the unexpected duet. “Harry Styles performing Juice with Lizzo is a thing I didn’t know I really, really needed,” one penned. “Thought @lizzo’s show couldn’t get any better.. and then she brought out @Harry_Styles!! ?? Good as hell!” another wrote.

This isn’t the first time the former One Directioner has performed “Juice.” He also sang a cover of the mega hit last December during a BBC radio appearance.

Kelly Clarkson also famously covered the song during her “Kellyoke” segment on The Kelly Clarkson Show back in October.

Meanwhile, Lizzo is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Last weekend, she opened the Grammys with a tribute to NBA star Kobe Bryant, who had died earlier that day. “Tonight is for Kobe,” she said before launching into an emotional rendition of “Cuz I Love You,” followed by “Truth Hurts.” She also took home two Grammys for Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Urban Contemporary Album for Cuz I Love You (Deluxe), even though she lost out to Billie Eilish for the night’s big four categories like Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

But sharing the stage with Harry Styles must have made it all a little better, right?

Kate Middleton Has Reportedly Been ‘in a Panic’ Since Harry and Meghan Stepped Down


Since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped down as senior royals, we haven’t heard much about how things are going between them and Kate Middleton…until now. Unfortunately, if you believe Us Weekly, it’s not such a positive update. According to the publication’s sources, Markle and Middleton haven’t spoken since the news and “couldn’t be further apart.” Oof.

Perhaps that’s because Markle and Prince Harry’s (justifiable) exit means a lot more work for the Duchess of Cambridge. On top of being a mother of three, Middleton is reportedly working 18-hour days. For context, that’s 10 hours more than us 9-to-5-ers. (Sorry about the math.)

“Kate’s in a panic and has been having bouts of anxiety,” the source tells Us Weekly. “She barely has time to rest, and when she does try to sleep, her mind is constantly racing.”

With Middleton’s philanthropic work, royal duties, and photography side hustle, she’s got a lot on her plate. “She’s already stretched pretty thin,” the insider continued, “and now she’s really worried about how she’ll juggle the extra workload on top of her family life.”

To be fair, the grass isn’t so green on the other side for Markle and Prince Harry. According to TMZ, the couple’s stepback has come with unforeseen consequences. The two are reportedly “shocked” that they’ve lost their roles as youth ambassadors to the commonwealth (this was, allegedly, part of the deal they made with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles as part of their stepping down).

Markle and Prince Harry were prepared to stop using their royal titles when they moved to Canada, but the ambassadorship was apparently very important to the couple. Meghan picked up the role before the wedding and had flowers of all 53 commonwealth nations embroidered on her wedding dress. Still, the queen supposedly “drew a hard line in the sand,” and the pair ultimately agreed.

I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping when the dust settles, Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle can put all this behind them. In a perfect world, they will form a family band and tour the countryside, and all the haters won’t. Be. Invited.

Yup!

Princess Diana’s Butler Shared the Sweetest Letter She Wrote About William and Harry


It’s been almost 23 years since Princess Diana tragically died in a car accident at the age of 36, and yet there’s still so much we don’t know about the woman known as the People’s Princess.

One thing has always been certain: Her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, were the most precious things in the world to her. Now a new never-before-seen letter is proving just that once again. Paul Burrell, Diana’s former butler, has often spoken to the press about the princess in the years since her death, much to the chagrin of some who’d prefer to keep her secrets…secret. But the new correspondence he released this week is simply very sweet.

“As Harry, Meghan and Archie embark on a new life, I am reminded of some poignant words which Princess Diana wrote to me many years ago,” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a black-and-white photo of the three royals. “They are a mother’s words of unconditional love, which are as appropriate today as they were when she wrote them over 24 years ago.”

The note was apparently written not long before Diana died in 1997. “I love my boys to death and hope that the seeds I’ve planted will grow and bring the strength, knowledge, and stability that is needed,” she wrote to Burrell. The words could apply to almost any mother talking about her children and her hopes for their futures.

Of course, we’ll never know what Diana thinks of her sons’ paths in life, but many commenters thought the note gave insight into how she would have reacted to Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from royal life. “You offer the most sober, loving reminder that Diana provided the Princes with the finest grounding and love for service to humanity. She would want @sussexroyal to find their way to that, in their own, authentic fashion,” one user wrote.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Aren’t Playing Around With the Paparazzi in Canada


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to have officially finalized their new relationship with the royal family. (If you’re unfamiliar, the couple announced two weeks ago they’d be stepping down as senior members of the royal family and attempting to become financially independent.) While Prince Harry was still sorting out a couple of details in London, several photos of Markle hiking with baby Archie on Vancouver Island surfaced yesterday. But the couple isn’t letting this slide. According to TMZ, they asked their lawyers to warn publications about publishing or reprinting the pictures.

TMZ reports that Markle and Prince Harry filed a cease-and-desist letter through their lawyers. It reportedly says that “there are serious safety concerns about how the paparazzi are driving and the risk to life they pose,” and notes that the person who took the images was hiding behind bushes watching Markle in order to get it (ick). They also note that photographers have been using telephoto lenses and setting up camp right outside where they’ve been living on Vancouver Island.

All of this is a sign that no matter what happens with their new royal arrangement, the couple is looking to protect their privacy, first and foremost. They announced last October that they had initiated legal proceedings against the British tabloid Mail on Sunday, as well as its parent company, Associated Newspapers, for its use of a private, intimate letter Meghan Markle wrote to her father. Several of her lawyers also corrected a bunch of false stories written about her over the last few years, which some think is what ultimately triggered the couple’s stepping back as senior royals. Now that they have a new system in place, it’s clear they’re setting parameters and boundaries for what they want their new life to look like in Canada.

“We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages,” Markle and Prince Harry said about their new roles in the royal family.

Prince Harry and Prince William Reportedly Reconciled During ‘Secret Peace Talks’


Prince Harry is officially back in Canada with Meghan Markle and baby Archie after a whirlwind two weeks in London to sort out the Sussexes’ future life outside of the royal fold.

But before he left London, Harry reportedly took care of some other very important business: mending fences with his older brother, Prince William. Rumors of a rift between the brothers have been rampant for the past two years—with their wives, Markle and Kate Middleton being dragged into the press coverage too. Now, according to The Sun, the boys are back on better terms. “William and Harry have spent time together privately away from the official Sandringham Summit working on their relationship and discussing their future,” a royal source told the paper. “It has been ground-breaking in terms of saving their bond as brothers and has been totally driven by them.”

The Duchess of Sussex and the Duchess of Cambridge apparently joined in on the conversations as well. “But Kate and Meghan, who was in Canada, did join in with some of the talks on more than one occasion—which is another sign of a real thaw in their relationship,” the source continued. “Things are better.”

So what allegedly changed? Well, Prince Harry’s big move to North America for one thing. “Given Harry is now permanently moving away, there was a realisation if they didn’t sort things out now, they never would,” The Sun reports. “They decided to cut out all the toxic people stirring around them to deal with each other man-to-man as brothers.” Of course, as with any family, nothing is totally smooth—especially when your family business is the monarchy. But it sounds like things are on the right track. According to the paper, “Of course there have been serious differences in opinions but the family warmth is back. And they’re sad they’re going to be so far apart.”

Sounds like it’s time to start planning a family vacation.
