Megan Markle's Close Friend Might Have Just Revealed the Sussexes' New Brand Name


Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared the announcement that they’re be stepping back as senior members of the royal family, there’s been a lot of talk about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s use of the word “royal.”

You see, after their wedding, the pair officially registered their website, social media handles, and charity as Sussex Royal. However, as part of the agreement to sever royal ties with the family, Queen Elizabeth forbid the couple from using the word royal on any of their work.

In a statement, the couple wrote that dropping the word royal was just fine with them. “While there is not any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word ‘Royal’ overseas, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘Sussex Royal’ or any iteration of the word ‘Royal’ in any territory (either within the UK or otherwise) when the transition occurs Spring 2020.”

Though many viewed the response as snarky toward the Queen and the monarchy as a whole, the couple might have just been stating facts. Besides, it appears they already have a new name in the works already.

According to The Daily Mail, stylist Jessica Mulroney, who happens to be Meghan’s closest confidant, registered a new domain in Harry and Meghan’s name sometime last week. As The Daily Mail wrote, she “registered the website sussexglobalcharities.com last Wednesday through her charity the Shoebox Project Foundation, which supports vulnerable women.”

Look at the name again: “Sussex Global Charities.” No “royal” in sight.

“While the duke and duchess are focused on plans to establish a new non-profit organization, given the specific UK government rules surrounding the use of the word ‘royal’ it has been therefore agreed that their non-profit organization when it is announced this spring, will not be named Sussex Royal Foundation,” a spokesperson for the couple told The Guardian. The spokesperson reiterated, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘SussexRoyal’ in any territory post-spring 2020.”

Though little else is known about just what Harry and Meghan will call their endeavors right now, we likely won’t have to wait long: The couple’s last official day as working members of the royal family is March 31.

Meghan Markle's Everlane Flats Are On Sale Right Now


Meghan Markle might be stepping back from her role as a working royal and forging a new career path with Prince Harry and Archie, but her status as a style icon isn’t going anywhere.

The duchess (and yes, she will still be a duchess even if she’s not using her HRH title) and her fashion choices have been responsible for many smaller—often sustainable—brands to burst onto the global stage by way of the so-called “Markle Sparkle”. And while she’s not one to eschew her high heels completely, she often opts for flats—a highly relatable choice anyone with a commute can understand. Case in point: these Everlane slingbacks she wore while she and Harry were on their royal tour of South Africa.

The suede Everlane Editor flats usually cost $155, but right now they’re marked down to $109 thanks to the brand’s “choose what you pay” sale. The sale itself has been going on for a while, but the Editor is a new addition to the discounted items. Markle was spotted wearing the persimmon shade, but the shoe also comes in rosewood, mustard, and black—and most sizes are still available, so get them while you can. Markle-endorsed products tend to sell out fast.

Markle has been publicly supporting Everlane for years. During her first official public outing with Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in Toronto, she carried the brand’s Day Market Tote.

But her collection of cute (and practical) flats doesn’t end here, of course: The duchess has also been spotted in Rothys The Point in black, which are made from repurposed water bottles. She also recently wore The Merino Point in Shadow.

You can even pair the flats with the exact same Aritzia shirtdress if you want to go full duchess.

It’s not clear when exactly we’ll next see Markle for some fashion inspo: There’s always a chance she’ll pop out of the Vancouver Island house the Sussexes have been staying in since leaving the U.K. But we do know she and Harry will be hopping across the pond for a final round of royal engagements in March—and wearing some great spring looks for her appearances.

Prince Harry Reportedly ‘Cut Off’ Some of His Close Friends During Meghan Markle's Pregnancy


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step down as senior members of the British royal family has obviously had tremendous ripple effects across the monarchy and the media. There has been an emergency summit with the queen, public statements refuting “bullying”, and so many rumors about how this all went down and exactly why the Sussexes wanted to carve out a “progressive new role” for themselves within the monarchy.

A source recently told People that Prince Harry “cut off” some of his close friends “about six months” into Markle’s pregnancy with baby Archie, who was born in May. “Most no longer even have his cell number,” the source said. “They totally understand that men often drift from their friends after marriage, but there’s still a lot of resentment because they had been so close for so long.”

Obviously, there could be a million reasons for this—assuming it’s even true. Who among us has not grown apart from friends we had in our youth, especially as lives start to diverge and people start their own families? It’s a totally natural (and not at all shady) thing to have happen. People also notes that the Duke of Sussex is still very close with his pal Charlie van Straubenzee. They attended each other’s weddings, and van Straubenzee is rumored to be one of Archie’s godparents. (In one of their many moves to do things differently, the Sussexes did not release the names of the godparents.)

While we await final decisions about the details regarding what Prince Harry and Markle’s future will look like as they divide time between the U.K. and North America, the duchess was spotted out and about visiting Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre on January 14, and Harry is scheduled to appear at an event at Buckingham Palace tomorrow (January 16).

Meghan Markle's Dog May Have Been the Biggest Clue They Were Stepping Down


While most of the world is still in shock over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s decision to step down as senior members of the royal family, it turns out one of the Duchess’s dogs may have been a big hint the announcement was coming.

This week, Markle and Prince Harry announced they will opt out of some of their royal duties and plan to partially relocate to North America—most likely Canada—where they will work to become financially independent.

“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. 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,” the couple wrote on Instagram.

This announcement came amidst the couple’s holiday in Canada, where per E! News, it was reported the two were spotted taking a hike with Suits star Abigail Spencer and two dogs.

Though it seemed like an innocent story at the time, this is where Markle’s pets come into play. One of the dogs on the hike was reportedly Guy, the beagle Markle adopted from a rescue shelter, and the other was identified as Bogart, the pup who could no longer travel because of his old age. (He was left behind in Canada with friends after she married Prince Harry as to not force him to make the long journey to the U.K.)

Now, this is where things get interesting. According to People, Guy suffered an injury following his arrival in the U.K. in 2017. He reportedly broke two of his legs at the time and Markle was “distraught” and “very upset” by what happened.

This begs the question: Why would Markle haven taken him on a 10-hour flight back to Canada just for a six-week vacation? For some, the answer is quite simple. Markle and Prince Harry were already in the process of making their move across the pond way before they announced it, so they were taking the necessary steps to relocate their dogs.

Royal correspondent Rebecca English told The Daily Mail that “insiders confirmed that the dogs staying in Canada ‘was the biggest clue, in hindsight, that they were unlikely to come back from this so-called holiday’.”

“Both the Duke and Duchess adore their dogs and Guy has already been relocated from Canada to London once when Meghan moved over,” the Daily Mail‘s source added. “She wouldn’t have considered a move again for him if it wasn’t going to be at least semi-permanent.”

As they said in their statement, the two intend to “balance [their] time between the United Kingdom and North America” where they plan to raise their son “with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter.”

It’s been reported that Markle is already back in Canada with baby Archie and her dogs. As for Prince Harry, he’ll reportedly join his wife and son in two weeks after he sorts everything out with his family in the U.K.

Meghan Markle's Makeup Artist Shares the Secret to Her Perfect Brows


Meghan Markle‘s longtime friend and personal makeup artist, Daniel Martin, has revealed his secret to achieving the perfect brows. During a recent appearance on ITV’s Lorraine, he shared his beauty hacks for getting brows just like the royal’s and even showed viewers the most important do’s and don’ts for maintaining the best shape.

“Eyebrows frame our faces and can enhance our entire make up look,” Martin explained during his tutorial, according to The Daily Mail. The key to looking naturally blessed with good brow game? Treat your eyebrows “as sisters not twins,” he said. In other words, they shouldn’t be perfectly symmetrical.

“As we age we tend to loose our eyebrows a bit,” he continued. “So what we want to do, is we want to enhance her brow and really figure out that structure, really figure out those holes and spots that we lost.”

Martin then suggests using brow gel to brush against the hair growth, as well as applying a slightly lighter shade of powder below the brow to make them appear “fuller.”

Finally, Martin recommends using a little bit of hairspray to keep your brows in place. He said the simplest way is to spray some on a mascara spoolie and then brush them into your eyebrows.

Martin also addressed some common brow mistakes. “So one mistake a lot of people make is over tweezing or over plucking your brows,” he said. “When that happens you want to find something that you can easily go in to apply but you don’t want to re-shape or re-structure your brow.”

Markle’s iconic brows are reportedly inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s arches. The shape consists of a “straight, archless brow that tapers out toward your temple,” according to the salon Nails & Brows, where the Duchess has had her own royal brows sculpted. “The sculpt instantly lifts your face and creates a fresh and youthful appearance.”

So there you have it: In order to achieve the Duchess of Sussex’s perfect brow, we need to focus on fullness, use brow gel and some eyeshadow, add a little hairspray, and make sure not to over pluck.

Martin also famously did Markle’s makeup for her royal wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018—and he later shared every detail of her look with Glamour. He revealed that even though her makeup wasn’t inspired by a specific person (sorry, Audrey), his goal was to make her look “timeless, effortless, and chic” because “she wanted to look like her best self.”

Meghan Markle's Lawyers Correct Several Tabloid Rumors Via Court Documents


Meghan Markle has been the subject of tabloid rumors and abuse since she started dating Prince Harry in 2016; a few months into their relationship, he even issued a public statement asking for the press to “reflect” before publishing damaging false stories.

And in October of this year, after the royal couple spoke out about the toll the media scrutiny has taken on them, they resorted to legal action against multiple publications. This week, the independent outlet Byline Investigates obtained some of the first court documents from the lawsuit, which show that the royals’ lawyers are determined to correct multiple libelous reports.

The documents take issue with several stories that were written about Markle’s relationship to her father, who did not attend her wedding in 2017. A private letter she wrote to him was later published without authorization in the the Mail on Sunday; Markle’s lawyers point out that only sections were printed in turn mischaracterizing its intent. Additionally, the court documents explain that Markle did not “ignore” her father after the wedding.

“The true position is that the Claimant [Meghan] has a long history of looking after her father’s welfare and trying to find solutions to any health problems… she did provide extensive financial support for him, as well as act as primary caregiver for her grandmother… her father did not telephone her to explain that he was not coming to her wedding,” the documents read. “Her team in Los Angeles did provide him with continued support for which he had expressed gratitude… she had reached out to him prior to the wedding and sought to protect him, as well as to ensure that he would be able to come to the wedding… she did not ignore him afterwards.”

The documents also correct multiple details that have been reported about the duchess’s life, including that she had renovated Frogmore Cottage to include a yoga studio, orangery, guest wing, copper bath, and tennis court. (The documents say these things were written “to portray the Claimant in a damaging light by suggesting that she had indulged in this series of absurdly lavish renovations.”) They also explain that despite what had been reported, Markle’s mother Doria Ragland was, in fact, invited to her New York baby shower but couldn’t attend “due to work commitments.” The papers also countered figures which claimed the shower cost $300,000 by sharing, “[it] actually cost a tiny fraction of the $300k falsely stated in the article.”

The legal team also noted the blatantly wrong and also racial undertones of headlines like, “Harry’s girl is (almost) straight outta Compton: Gang-scarred home of her mother revealed—so will he be dropping by for tea?” The documents read, “The statement that the Claimant lived or grew up in Compton (or anywhere near to it) is false. The fact that the Defendant chose to stereotype this entire community as being ‘plagued by crime and riddled with street gang’ and thereby suggest (in the first few days of her relationship being revealed) that the Claimant came from a crime-ridden neighborhood is completely untrue as well as intended to be divisive. The Claimant will also refer to the fact that the article cites her aunt as living in ‘gang-afflicted Inglewood’ in order to bolster this negative and damaging impression of where this (black) side of her family is said to come from. In fact, Ava Burrow (said to be ‘the actress’’ aunt’) is not her Aunt or any blood relation at all, a fact which if correctly stated would have undermined the narrative which the Defendant was intended to convey.”
