Here's How Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Reportedly Plan to Spend Archie's First Birthday


It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their first son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6, 2019.

The couple reportedly already has some big plans in the works to celebrate his first birthday. An Us Weekly source says they are going to be “celebrating at Queen Elizabeth II’s Scottish estate, Balmoral … and have talked to the queen about having a picnic on the grounds.” The source goes on to say the queen is “very excited” for the celebration. It’s been previously reported that the Sussexes were set to spend some time at Balmoral with (Prince) Harry’s grandmother this summer—though with all travel plans right now, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume things could be on hold given the uncertain and ever-changing guidelines around the coronavirus pandemic.

Queen Elizabeth II will reportedly gift Archie with a “beautiful rocking horse,” with the Us Weekly source noting he loves the animals and “squeals with excitement” when he sees them. Markle also reportedly plans to have animal-themed cupcakes for at least one of the parties for her nature-loving son. “Archie loves being outside, and you can already tell he’s inherited [Prince] Charles’s passion for nature,” a source told Us Weekly. “He gets so excited at seeing all the trees. Now that he’s just walking, he’s into everything—he’ll often end up covered in mud!”

The outlet says there are also plans for a North American celebration. “Meghan’s mom, Doria [Ragland], and BFFs Jessica Mulroney and Abigail Spencer will be invited to stay with their families for the weekend,” a source said. The Sussexes recently relocated to Markle’s hometown of Los Angeles, where her mother also lives.

As the family hunkers down in L.A. amid the current global crisis, they’ve also had to deal with a tweet from President Donald Trump about who’s paying for their security. On March 29 he wrote, “I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom. 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!”

A spokesperson for the couple quickly responded that they never had any plans to ask the U.S. government for money to cover their security detail and were paying for it privately.

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 Is Reportedly Thinking About Relaunching The Tig


Now that Meghan Markle has reportedly moved to L.A and secured her first Hollywood gig since leaving the U.K., it’s time for her to get back to another one of her passions: writing.

Markle is jumping headfirst into her new life now that she and Prince Harry have stepped down as senior working royals. According to Us Weekly, the duchess is planning her second cookbook and considering relaunching her lifestyle blog, The Tig, which was shut down when things became serious with Harry. Her first cookbook, Together: Our Community Cookbook, which she co-wrote with The Hubb Community Kitchen, came out in 2018.

“Meghan has heaps of projects in the works,” the source told the publication, including plenty of philanthropic work.

Back in 2019, Markle renewed the trademark for The Tig, sparking rumors that she was relaunching the site, described as a “hub for the discerning palate—those with a hunger for food, travel, fashion, and beauty.” Alas, at the time, a spokesperson revealed that “the lasting trademark is to prevent false branding [and] to avoid others purporting to be the duchess or affiliated with her.”

But now fans of the blog have hope once again. Interestingly, Markle once wrote about both her childhood dreams of becoming a princess and Kate Middleton on The Tig, long before meeting her future husband. “Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power,” she wrote in 2014. “And grown women seem to retain this childhood fantasy. Just look at the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding and endless conversation about Princess Kate.”

I’m glad Meghan Markle is getting back to doing what she really loves with her family by her side. And if she does relaunch The Tig, I bet the site traffic will be through the roof.

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.”

Meghan Markle Reportedly Felt 'Trapped and Claustrophobic' Living in London


It looks like stepping back from senior royal duties was exactly what Meghan Markle needed.

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, “Meghan has a real spring in her step again. She feels like a new person.”

It’s been no secret that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have struggled with their life in the spotlight post-royal wedding. The couple, who recently returned to their new home in Canada after wrapping up their final royal engagements, has spoken out on multiple occasions about the British tabloid circuit. Back in 2019, as a part of the documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, Markle gave a particularly emotional response when director Tom Bradby asked how she was coping with the exposure.

“I would say…look, any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable,” she said at the time. “So that was made really challenging. And then when you have a newborn, you know?

”And especially as a woman, it’s really, it’s a lot,” Markle continued. “So if you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed, it’s um…. Yeah, well, I guess, and also thank you for asking because not many people have asked if I’m OK. But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes.”

In the same documentary, (Prince) Harry remarked that every flash of the paparazzi took him “straight back” to the traumatic time in his life following his mother, Princess Diana’s, death, And now, Us Weekly has revealed new details about how Markle struggled with the lack of privacy in the U.K.

“She was nervous to step outside her own front door because of all the negative attention she attracted,” the source told Us Weekly, also claiming the duchess would have panic attacks. The source also said that Markle felt “trapped and claustrophobic” while living in Frogmore Cottage. “Meghan’s thrilled to have escaped the chaos of London,” the source added.

Markle is, presumably, now in preventative coronavirus quarantine alongside (Prince) Harry, who has become a serious advocate for mental health awareness, and their son, Archie. They continue to share thoughts and resources on social media to help stop the coronavirus pandemic.

“Our emotional well-being is challenged everyday whether we realise it or not, but our lives are usually filled with distractions. Now with constantly changing COVID coverage, we are all adjusting to this new normal and the feelings that come with it,” they wrote in a recent Instagram post. “But here’s the good thing (because right now we need to hear good things, right?): Yes, there is isolation and physical distancing, but there doesn’t have to be loneliness.”

Peter Weber’s Family Is Reportedly ‘Closer Than Ever’ During Coronavirus Isolation


While Tyler Cameron and Hannah Brown social distance together in Florida, The Bachelor’s Peter Weber is quarantining with his family—yes, even Barb.

I guess there’s no better time to bond with parents than after they publicly scold you on national TV for dating a girl they don’t like. Personally, if I was locked in with my parents barely a week after they actively clapped when my ex tore me a new one on live TV, there would be a lot of fighting involved. But, like Weber made clear in an Instagram Story last Friday, March 13, there’s no bad blood.

Rumors of a rift between Weber and his mom spread immediately after the After the Final Rose ceremony aired, with Chris Harrison confirming to Glamour that their relationship had been “damaged.” However, the pilot—who split from Madison Prewett just a few days later—shut down those theories on social media, by referring to the headlines as “fake news” and featuring his mom in a post.

Now, the family reportedly continues to hang out amid the coronavirus pandemic. “This time of quarantine is bringing the Weber family closer than ever before,” a source told Us Weekly on March 19. “They are using this time together to bond. During isolation, Peter and his family have been watching movies, playing board games, and cooking together.” Barb, is that you? Are you the source? (Kidding.)

Perhaps Barb is happy thanks to a recent report that her son and Prewett never technically dated after she left The Bachelor. “They were never really back together,” a source told People. “They just realized they couldn’t make it work.”

Meanwhile, the rest of Bachelor Nation has their own quarantine hangs going. Prewett recently spent a day playing board games and looking happy with Selena Gomez. Then, news surfaced that Peter Weber’s ex and former Bachelorette, Hannah Brown, flew to Jupiter, Florida to isolate herself with her season’s favorite contestant, Tyler Cameron. They’ve been TikToking ever since.

Honestly, all of these coronavirus quarantines sound much more active than mine.
