President Donald Trump is Now Tweeting About Meghan Markle and Prince Harry


UPDATE: March 29, 2020, at 5:07 p.m. EST— President Donald Trump needn’t have worried; a spokesperson for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry said that the royal couple has “no plans” to ask the United States to pay for their security, according to royal correspondent Rhiannon Millshave.

“A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex says they have no plans to ask the U.S. government for security resources,” Millshave tweeted. “Privately funded security arrangements have been made.”

Phew.

ORIGINAL POST: March 29, 2020, at 4:09 p.m. EST—

President Donald Trump is busy tweeting but not about the coronavirus pandemic’s crushing weight on hospitals, the stimulus bill, or how his recent comments have affected the Asian American community. Instead, he’s taken the time to comment on a report about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

While hospitals around the country are begging for ventilators, masks, and gowns—which some fashion brands have been taking it upon themselves to provide—Donald Trump is making his POV known about news that the former senior royals have reportedly moved to Los Angeles. “I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom,” he began the tweet from March 29. “It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!”

On March 27, reports began to surface that Markle—a U.S. citizen—and her husband, Prince Harry moved with their son from their Vancouver home to Los Angeles, where her mom resides. They are said to be hunkered down at a “secluded compound” amid coronavirus concerns, though their reps have yet to comment officially.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are Reportedly ‘Committed to Having Another Baby’


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly planning to expand their family in the near(ish) future.

As the royal couple settles into their new Los Angeles home, a source told Us Weekly that the former senior royals want to try for a second child “pretty soon.”

“They’ll be trying in earnest pretty soon,” a source told the publication. “They just want to get firmly settled into their new surroundings first and give Archie as much attention as they can.”

So yeah, 10-month-old Archie will probably have to wait a bit for a little brother or sister. “They’re still enjoying these precious early days with him,” the source added. “They’re committed to having another baby, but don’t want to put too much pressure on the situation.”

This speculation comes after the news that Markle and Prince Harry recently moved from their new home in Canada to Markle’s hometown of Los Angeles.

Relocating to Los Angeles does make a lot of sense for the couple. Not only does Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, live in L.A., but the former Suits star has recently picked up her Hollywood career with a new Disney gig. She’s also reportedly considering relaunching her lifestyle blog, The Tig.

It’s unclear what else is next for the couple, but sources told People that the family is currently living in a “secluded compound” and are hunkering down amid the COVID-19 crisis.

On March 18, Markle and Prince Harry addressed the pandemic via Instagram to encourage their followers to come together.

“These are uncertain times,” they wrote. “And now, more than ever, we need each other. We need each other for truth, for support, and to feel less alone during a time that can honestly feel quite scary… We are all in this together, and as a global community we can support each other through this process—and build a digital neighbourhood that feels safe for every one of us.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Have Reportedly Moved to Los Angeles


Welcome home, Meghan Markle—and welcome to the U.S., Prince Harry and baby Archie.

People reports the Sussexes have relocated to Markle’s hometown of Los Angeles, after spending an extended period of time in Vancouver Island, Canada. (The two moved there shortly after announcing in January they’d be stepping back as senior members of the royal family.) They are said to be hunkered down at a “secluded compound” amid coronavirus concerns, though their reps have not commented officially on the big move.

It’s been rumored since the stepping back announcement that the couple would be spending at least part of their time in L.A., which is also home to Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland. “Harry is looking straight ahead at his future with his family,” one source previously told People. “They will be spending time in California…He’s not looking back.” (The couple still maintains their Frogmore Cottage home in Windsor, where they stayed recently while finishing up their final royal engagements in London.)

L.A. makes sense for the couple for many reasons. Markle is from there, for one, and it’s where her mother, with whom she shares a very close relationship, lives.

It’s also the home to Hollywood, the duchess’s former (and perhaps future) industry. Just yesterday (March 26), her very first post-royal project—a voiceover for the Disney movie, Elephant—was announced. If she’s looking to get back to her acting roots, L.A. is obviously the place to be. Then, of course, there’s the typically sunny weather, the beaches and hikes (we know they love the outdoors, and so does Archie!), and the fact that they might not even be the most famous people in town.

Meghan Markle reportedly felt “trapped and claustrophobic” living in London. Since the couple’s decision to wrap up royal duties, a source told Us Weekly, “Meghan has a real spring in her step again. She feels like a new person.”

This Video of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s Kids Clapping for Medical Employees Will Make Your Day


Kate Middleton and Prince William have been using their social media platforms to illuminate all the ways people can help the U.K. (and the world) fight the coronavirus pandemic. Of course, donating money and resources is essential and something everyone should try to do. And on top that, you can show your appreciation online for the medical employees working around the clock to keep everyone safe. One way people are doing this is by posting videos of themselves clapping and hashtagging #ClapForOurCarers. It’s a sweet, simple way to hat-tip the folks on the front lines of this crisis.

Middleton and Prince William got in on this on Thursday, March 26, posting a sweet video to Instagram of their children—Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte—clapping. They then specifically shouted out the U.K.’s publicly funded health care system, the National Health Service.

“To all the doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers and other NHS staff working tirelessly to help those affected by #COVID19: thank you.#ClapForOurCarers #ClapForCarers #ThankYouNHS #ClapForNHS,” the video’s caption reads.

See the adorable gesture for yourself, below:

The #ClapForOurCarers hashtag has completely swept the U.K. “Tonight I could hear 100’s of people in London clapping for our amazing NHS, the health and social workers and for every key worker putting their health at risk to provide vital services. There are countless heroes across the country, we’re grateful #ClapForNHS #ClapForOurCarers,” writer Tom Knight tweeted alongside a video of folks’ applause.

And here’s another powerful clip of #ClapForOurCarers in action:

Kate Middleton and Prince William actually visited the NHS last week. “The last few weeks, and more recent days have been understandably concerning with the continuing spread of coronavirus,” Prince William wrote in a statement posted to Instagram. “But it’s at times like this when we realise just how much the NHS represents the very best of our country and society–people from all backgrounds and walks of life with different experiences and skills, pulling together for the common good.”

That Magical Photo of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in the Rain Has the Most Interesting Backstory


Remember back a few weeks ago when the world looked a lot more normal and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were out and about in London on what many called their farewell tour as senior working royals? Those were the days, huh?

Markle really pulled out all the stops, fashion-wise, in an array of bold colors. But there was one instantly-iconic image in particular that stood out from the thousands taken of the Sussexes as they attended the Endeavor Awards. You know the one: The duke and duchess are gazing happily at each other under an umbrella as camera flashes lit up the rain drops in the background.

Now, the photographer who took the shot is letting the world in on exactly how he got it. “It was pouring down with rain, which can be very tricky when shooting flash photography,” Samir Hussein, a longtime Getty photographer who often covers the royal family, told Vogue. “[It] also meant Harry and Meghan would be under an umbrella, which usually means it’s hard to get clean photos of the couple. Little did I know these elements would come together so spectacularly to produce a timeless image.”

Before they arrived, Hussein talked to the royals press officer so he could try to position himself in the right spot in the photographers’ pen. “As they walked toward me, I noticed a flash going off from a camera in the crowd behind them,” he said. “I knew that if that light could be lined up to be right behind as they walked, then it could create a dramatic photo, acting like a backlight in a studio shot. I managed to maneuver myself to line up the flash behind them and then had to work quickly, with just a second or two to get the shot as they smiled wonderfully at each other.”

“It’s a one in a million, when all the elements you could wish for as a photographer come together—perfect timing, great lighting, strong symbolism, and amazing subjects,” he said.

We just hope Meghan Markle and (Prince) Harry have this framed somewhere in their house in Canada.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Son Archie Reportedly ‘Loves Being Outside in Nature’


In tough times, you know what never fails to lighten the mood? Baby updates—and baby Archie updates, in particular.

Presumably, the little guy is hunkered down with his parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, in Canada as the world waits out the coronavirus pandemic. (Harry announced on March 19 that the Invictus Games scheduled for May at The Hague have been postponed until 2021).

Hopefully, he’s still getting lots of outdoor time, as a source tells Us Weekly that’s one of his favorite things. He “loves being outside in nature,” the source said, adding, “Harry’s happy he’s getting to spend quality time with his family.”

“Meghan takes a walk with Archie every single day through the woods,” their source previously told the magazine. “She either pushes him in a stroller through the paved trails through the public woods by their home or straps him on and walks the more rustic routes. The walks usually last around an hour or two, but she takes them daily.”

Honestly, that sounds lovely—it’s no wonder little Archie’s a fan.

The Sussexes have been living in Vancouver Island, Canada since the holidays where they were spotted on a hike by another couple. Markle even took a photo of the pair. “We noticed a group was standing nearby and they had two dogs, one of which was approaching us,” Asymina Kantorowicz said of the royal encounter. “She starts asking if we want her to take a photo for us. We said sure. I didn’t see who she was at that time.” When she realized who it was, she said she froze. “I actually couldn’t believe who it was. Then I looked over to the side, and that’s when I realized Prince Harry was standing there,” she said. “I kept looking back and forth like, ‘Is this actually happening?’”
