Prince William Was Asked About Meghan Markle's Due Date—and His Response Was Surprising


With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s baby due literally any day now, everyone is eagerly awaiting news that the Duchess of Sussex is in labor. But when a royal fan asked Prince William to share any news he had about Baby Sussex‘s due date, he had a pretty surprising update for everyone. You would think Harry’s older brother would be in the loop, but it turns out the Duke of Cambridge actually has “no idea” when his niece or nephew will arrive.

According to Town and Country, William was asked if there was “Any sign of the royal baby?” during his solo trip in New Zealand. To which he jokingly responded, “I haven’t got my phone on me—I have no idea. You guys will find out before I do at this rate.”

William’s update came days after it was revealed that he and wife Kate Middleton secretly visited Harry and Markle on Easter. The Fab Four hung out at Frogmore House following the Easter service in Windsor on Sunday, April 21. (Markle was unable to attend church at St George’s Chapel as she nears the end of her pregnancy.)

Markle’s exact due date has been kept under wraps since she first announced her pregnancy in October 2018. She previously hinted the royal baby was due in late April or early May—and though many have speculated she was going to go into labor this weekend, it was announced that Harry would be attending the London Marathon to hand out medals.

We can safely assume Markle isn’t expected to welcome the couple’s first baby just yet, even though this could change at any given moment. Exciting times are ahead, folks.

Serena Williams May Have Just Accidentally Revealed the Sex of Meghan Markle's Baby


Ever since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced that they were expecting their first child, fans have been eager to know whether the future member of the royal family is a boy or a girl. And it now seems like Serena Williams might have accidentally just revealed the baby’s sex. In a recent interview with E! News, the tennis star was asked what advice she would give to an expecting mom, and her response has fans on high alert.

“My friend is pregnant, and she was like, ‘My kid’s gonna do this,’ (and) I just looked at her like, ‘No, she’s not. No, you’re not. She was like, ‘I need to talk to you about tips,’ because, yes, I had all of those high expectations,” she said.

Did you catch that “she’s not”? Watch the interview below:

Williams also said she thinks Markle is going to make a good mother “for sure,” and that if she could offer any new moms advice, it’s to “accept mistakes and don’t expect to be perfect. We put so much pressure on ourselves.” Hear, hear.

A word of warning: We can’t jump to immediate conclusions because she didn’t confirm her pregnant friend was Markle—but Markle does happen to be a very prominent member of her social circle. The tennis champ herself is, of course, mom to 1-year-old daughter Olympia Ohanian—whom she welcomed with husband Alexis Ohanian in September 2017— so Williams could also have said “she” out of habit.

It’s also worth keeping in mind that the Duke and Duchess have not publicly announced the sex of their first child, per royal tradition. Markle also told a fan in January that she and her husband wanted to keep the baby’s sex a surprise until she gives birth—so Markle might not know herself either.

Fans would probably love the idea of a new royal princess in the mix—but boy or girl, a new royal baby is always exciting for royal-watchers, who are undoubtedly refreshing Harry and Meghan’s new official Instagram for updates.

Meghan Markle's Been Using a Genius Makeup Trick Nobody Noticed Until Now


Meghan Markle is many things. She’s the Duchess of Sussex, a former actress, a feminist, a brilliant speechwriter, a lover of dogs, and…a really great makeup artist.

Although Markle calls in a makeup artist for big events (like good friend Daniel Martin at the royal wedding), she often does her makeup herself for engagements—as does her sister-in-law Kate Middleton. Considering how flawless the Duchess of Sussex always looks, that’s super impressive. And even though every time she leaves the house, there are literally thousands of images snapped of her, most people hadn’t noticed that Markle was employing this genius makeup trick until now: overlining her lips.

The technique is a subtle way to give the lips a fuller effect without necessarily adding color. As we know, Markle usually opts for more neutral shades of lip color and avoids bolder tones like reds. “The one time she did a red lip, she just didn’t feel comfortable in it,” Martin has said. “She likes to talk and she’s not a fussy person, so she doesn’t want to have to worry about anything.”

The trick is to choose a liner that is a shade darker than your actual lip color and then draw a line just outside the natural shape of your lips.

Sometimes people assume that overlining the lips will lead to a look that looks cartoonish or too dramatic, but that’s not necessarily the case. Of course, if you’re looking to make more of a statement, you can draw further outside the lines or pick a super-bold shade, but that’s not Duchess Meghan’s style. She prefers colors like Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipstick in Very Victoria ($34) which is more of a matte dusty rose.

The subtlety of it all is probably why nobody noticed what she was doing for so long.

Wouldn’t it be great if Markle and Middleton could just start a royal YouTube channel and teach us their beauty tricks in weekly tutorials? I guess a girl can dream.

A Hashtag in Honor of Meghan Markle's Royal Baby Is Raising Money for Great Causes


The countdown is on for the springtime arrival of Baby Sussex, a.k.a. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s first child. And while fans of the royal couple have been clocking every detail—rumored or otherwise—about the royal baby, Markle’s chic maternity style, and her incredible baby shower in New York City, they’ve also organized themselves for a great cause.

The hashtag #GlobalSussexBabyShower has been started to help raise money for some of the royals’ favorite charities—and although we maybe didn’t make Amal Clooney and Serena Williams’ guest list for the NYC party, we’re all invited to this shower.

“Proof that social media can be a positive place,” royal reporter Omid Scobie tweeted. “Charities including @themayhew @Camfed and @WellChild have been receiving donations from Duchess Meghan fans around the world who started the hashtag #GlobalSussexBabyshower to celebrate Baby Sussex’s impending arrival. Very cool??”

The online love is especially nice considering the vitriol that Markle especially has faced in comments sections and on social media. The palace has even issued stronger guidelines for commenters on their own channels, likely in response to some of the online hate.

“I’ve donated to two of the #DoS charities because I’m so sick of the media onslaught which is ignoring her philanthropy. It also gives me a pleasant break from the horrors of Brexit. @themayhew @One25Charity #GlobalSussexBabyShower #MeghanMarkle,” one fan tweeted.

I also donated to the little girl who received the flowers from Meghan’s baby shower,” wrote another fan. “Sending prayers to her and her family for healing. #GlobalSussexBabyShower.”

Others chose charities close to their own hearts to benefit from the #GlobalSussexBabyShower.

Or just by spreading the word.

The hashtag has been gaining traction as people around the world make donations in honor of the yet-to-be-born royal baby—and the organizations are already expressing their gratitude. The charity, CamFed or the Campaign for Female Education tweeted: “OK all you amazing, warm-hearted & generous people: You completely floored us today when you started sending your support & donations in response to @freepeeper’s #GlobalSussexBabyShower campaign. You’ve made our year! Now we need to get some sleep. ? Know that we ❤ you. X”

As Scobie pointed out, this is exactly the kind of goodness we need on a Sunday, no? Here’s to hoping this kind-hearted magic lingers a little longer.

Meghan Markle's Having a Second Baby Shower—and Her Mom Will Be There


With Meghan Markle’s first royal baby due this spring, the Duchess of Sussex is reportedly squeezing in another baby shower after her Serena Williams-hosted party in New York City last month.

This time, as previously reported by royal reporter Omid Scobie, it’ll be located across the pond in England—and Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, will be in attendance for this one too, according to Harper’s Bazaar. (Royal fans will remember she didn’t attend the state-side celebration.)

While Markle’s NYC baby shower at The Mark hotel had an A-list crowd of attendees (Amal Clooney, former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, Gayle King), food prepared by Michelin-star chef Jean Georges Vongerichten, Martha Stewart Weddings prepared treats, and dozens and dozens of pink roses, this second gathering will have a remarkably different vibe.

This one might not be as all-out lavish, the Daily Mail reports—but it will be an intimate gathering. “Doria is coming to a baby shower here,” a source told the outlet. “It will be a small gathering of five or six people.”

We’re sure, however, that it will still be pretty amazing—after all, it’s being planned by royalty. Us Weekly, Meghan’s sister-in-law Kate Middleton is hosting the UK-located bash. It was originally planned to be held at Meghan and Prince Harry’s future mansion residence, Frogmore Cottage on Windsor Estate, but it’s still under renovation. Good thing the royals have a few party locations to choose from—and wherever it is, it’ll still be a special day.

Beyoncé and Jay Z Used Meghan Markle's Portrait as the Backdrop of Their Brit Awards Speech


To the public’s knowledge, Beyoncé and Jay Z and Meghan Markle have yet to come into contact with one another. But that doesn’t mean there’s any less love between them. The Carters gave their stamp of approval to the Duchess of Sussex in a surprising way when they made a cameo at the 2019 Brit Awards. Well, technically the awards show only featured a video of them, as they weren’t in attendance. But when the video played, Markle was at the center of it.

After the Carters were announced as the winner for Best International Group, Beyoncé and Jay Z gave their thanks in a pre-recorded video message that was shot in front of a portrait of Markle. The clip plays like a riff on their “Apesh*t” video, from Jay Z wearing a similar double-breasted blazer and Beyoncé wearing a vibrant suit blazer without a shirt like they both did in the original to the way the camera pans out on them standing still in front of the portrait — in place of the Mona Lisa — while their Everything Is Love standout plays. In the portrait, Markle isn’t just a glowing royal; she looks to be an actual queen, which is quite the compliment from one queen to another.

In their speech, Bey and Jay didn’t acknowledge the painting, which made it all the more surreal. Instead they gave a rather boilerplate speech, with Bey saying, “Thank you so much to the Brit Awards for this incredible honour. You guys have always been so supportive. Everything is love. Thank you,” to which Jay jokingly added, “You’re Welcome.” The pair then turn their backs to the camera and face the portrait of Markle. All the while, in the background, you can hear what is most likely Blue Ivy’s voice.

The painting of Markle has a surprising origin. It was created by artist Tim O’Brien for the alumni magazine of Markle’s former sorority Kappa Kappa Gama. O’Brien acknowledged that his painting has now been immortalized by the Carters on Twitter, where he wrote, “Interesting to see my painting of Megan Markle behind @Beyonce and JZ for their Brit award. Congratulations to them both.”

Meanwhile, Beyoncé explained why they chose to use the painting as a backdrop, later on Instagram, writing, “Thank you to the Brits for the award for Best International Group. I won this award back in 2002 with my besties, Kelly and Michelle. How lucky am I to have been in a group with my other best friend, the GOAT Hova. ?? In honor of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our Melanated Monas. Congrats on your pregnancy! We wish you so much joy.”

Hopefully, for both parties (and their voracious fans), this culminates in a real-life meeting.
