Selena Gomez Is Reportedly ‘Relieved' to Be Done With Justin Bieber


Selena Gomez is “extremely relieved” to close the book on Justin Bieber, a source tells Us Weekly.

If you’ve been listening to any of the pop star’s recent music, though, you probably already guessed that. Songs like “Look at Her Now” and “Lose You to Love Me” (both believed to be about Bieber) reflect Gomez’s new, self-assured mindset: The lyrics show her working through heartache to get to the happier, lighter side of life. According to Us Weekly‘s source, music played an instrumental part in Gomez’s journey from pain to joy.

“She loved being able to tell her truth through her own art and her own way,” the source says. “It took a lot of discipline, obedience and strength to get her mental and emotional health back in a good place.”

Emotional and mental health are Gomez’s priorities right now. She’s not concerned with her next romantic relationship, per this source, though she’s open to it.

“Right now, she is focusing on that as well as her music and isn’t actively looking or going out of her way to be in a relationship right now,” the insider tells Us. “She is still healing, but now knows what kind of guy she would want to date and what qualities he would need to have in order for her and her future boyfriend to be in a healthy, thriving, loving and supportive relationship.”

Last month, Selena Gomez opened up about experiencing emotional abuse during the period she dated Justin Bieber.

“I had to find a way to understand it as an adult. And I had to understand the choices I was making,” she told NPR. “As much as I definitely don’t want to spend the rest of my life talking about this, I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I’ve ever felt and I’ve found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible.”

Meghan Markle Reportedly Feels “Picked On” by the Royals


Prince “Just Call Me” Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly not feeling the love over all this royal drama.

According to The Daily Mail, Meghan’s “friends” are saying she and Harry feel “picked on” over all the new sanctions on when and where the couple can use their titles and the restriction on the use of the word royal. Meghan, according to a source, doesn’t appreciate the insinuation that she and Harry would use the title for financial gain.

Starting on April 1st, Meghan and Harry will no longer be able to use royal in any of their branding (we’ll miss you, @sussexroyal). On February 21st, the couple’s spokesperson released a statement clarifying the new rules.

“While The Duke and Duchess are focused on plans to establish a new non-profit organisation, given the specific UK government rules surrounding the use of the word ‘Royal,’ it has been therefore agreed that their non-profit organisation will not utilise the name ‘Sussex Royal’ or any other iteration of ‘Royal,’” the statement said on their website. “For the above reason, the trademark applications that had been filed as protective measures and that reflected the same standard trademarking requests as done for The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have been removed.”

Unfortunately, according to Us Weekly, this public statement high-key upset Queen Elizabeth II and caused another round of family drama. “She’s so disappointed that her own grandchild would heap so much embarrassment on the monarchy and bring all this unwanted attention on his family at the worst possible time,” a source told the publication.

Now The Daily Mail source claiming to be close with the couple says it’s Meghan and, by extension, Harry who feel slighted. Apparently, there are rumors that the queen only put all these rules in place to avoid backlash from other, possibly jealous, members of the family and court.

Honestly, it seems like everyone involved would like to fast-forward through the next couple of months of this transition. While the queen has been very supportive of Meghan Markle and (Prince) Harry’s choice to step back from senior royal duties and life in the U.K. (reportedly urging the family “not to obstruct their aspirations for a new life”), it’s all taken a bit of a toll. A source recently revealed to Vanity Fair that “this has been rather hurtful for her” and that Her Royal Highness just wants it “over and done with.”

On that, at least, it seems everyone can agree.

Kate Middleton Is Reportedly ‘So Happy’ To Have More Royal Duties


If we’re to believe recent reports, Kate Middleton hasn’t taken Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step back from the royal family lightly.

According to various outlets, Kate has been worried about staying close with Harry and concerned that her children won’t get to see enough of their cousin Archie. But if there’s one silver lining to all of this, it’s that Kate is reportedly “so happy” to have a more prominent voice in royal charity work and the goals of the Royal Foundation, an organization she can play a bigger role in now that Harry and Meghan have moved to Canada.

Insiders spoke to The Sun—so, take it with a grain of salt—and said that the Duchess of Cambridge is jumping into her duties with tons of enthusiasm. She’s been on a tour of the U.K. promoting early childhood development and even opened up about her experiences as a parent, which give insight into how she might steer other initiatives the Royal Foundation tackles.

“Kate is extremely passionate about the work the Foundation does and she has ideas and plans for how she believes it can be used to help some of the causes which she is particularly passionate about,” a source told The Sun. “In recent weeks Kate has visited a lot of organizations and spoke to lots of experts and has soaked a lot of information. She wants to use that to go out and bring about change to many of those who need support.”

Previously, the Royal Foundation was a joint effort between William and Harry, and it represented causes they both felt strongly about. Kate joined when she married William, and Meghan began a part of the organization a few years later, which meant there were a lot of interests to balance.

“For years the Foundation’s work was a bit of a tug of war between what William and Harry wanted. Harry was very much focused on the military and his work with the Invictus Games,” the source said. “Now, it is purely in the shape of how William and Kate want it to be.”

Kate Middleton’s expanding work at the Royal Foundation is reflective of how she’s come into her own in recent years—something even Queen Elizabeth is said to be proud of. It’s all shows how she is preparing to take the lead in the monarchy one day.

“She is an adoring mother, and she is contributing publicly in the way we would want her to,” a source told People last September. “You see it more and more. The young student has turned into our future Queen.”

Here's How Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are Reportedly Doing, Romantically, Since Stepping Down


If absence makes the heart grow fonder, it’s space from Kensington Palace that has brought Prince Harry and Meghan Markle closer together.

It seems like stepping back from their royal duties and moving to Canada with their son, Archie, was the right move. According to People, Prince Harry and Markle (who reportedly call each other “H” and “M”) are really feeling the benefits of time to themselves. “They are besotted and very sweet with each other,” a source told the publication.

“Archie is the priority. It’s very much still about taking care of him and putting the family first,” another allegedly close friend explained. “He’s a happy kid—he loves to laugh. Archie and Harry have such a good time together. And Meghan is a great mom. She’s very much about tending to him. They are trying to live their life as regular parents.”

As we know from another recent update about their life in Vancouver, the prince and Markle are very happy with their choice. “This decision [to leave] had been weighing on them for a long time, and they are relieved to have it done,” a friend told People earlier this February. “A weight has been lifted off their shoulders.”

They’re not the only ones who are benefiting from a royal hiatus. Prince William and Kate Middleton, who are supposedly closer than ever since all the royal drama, are also planning to take a break from their duties (though for a much shorter amount of time).

According to Us Weekly, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will have the end of February to themselves while Prince George and Princess Charlotte are on school vacation.

Nothing lasts forever, though, and both couples are soon to be reunited in London this March. Per Us Weekly, Queen Elizabeth II extended an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and is hoping everyone will present a united front.

Who else wants to be a fly on the wall for that family dinner?

Why Prince William and Kate Middleton Are Reportedly Taking a Break From Their Royal Duties


It looks like Prince William and Kate Middleton are taking a page out of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s playbook…if only for a hot second.

According to Us Weekly, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be taking a break from royal duties in the next few weeks when their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte are on vacation from school. The six- and four-year-olds both attend Thomas’ Battersea in London and have a half-term break toward the end of February. Prince William and Middleton will also use that period to spend more time with 22-month-old Prince Louis.

This brief hiatus falls after Prince Harry and Markle unexpectedly stepped back from their royal duties in January, followed shortly by a move to Canada. Since then, it’s been reported that Middleton’s responsibilities increased significantly, causing her some stress. “Kate’s in a panic and has been having bouts of anxiety,” a source told Us Weekly back in January. “She barely has time to rest, and when she does try to sleep, her mind is constantly racing.”

Still, the added pressure has reportedly strengthened her relationship with Prince William. Another source told Us Weekly that the duke and duchess have been “supporting each other” throughout the adjustment period. “The Cambridges are busier than ever since Harry and Meghan left the U.K. You’d think their hectic schedule would put strain on the marriage, but it’s actually brought them closer together,” the source said.

Prince Harry and Markle have been enjoying their life in Vancouver and are taking trips to Miami and Stanford University. They’re set to return to the U.K. for a visit in March.

“The queen’s hoping everyone will put on a united front when Harry returns to London in March—even though there’s still tension behind closed doors,” a source told Us Weekly. “It’ll be interesting to watch their body language and see how they are together.”

Queen Elizabeth Is Reportedly Stressed About Prince Harry’s Return to the U.K.


Queen Elizabeth II is currently experiencing what every host feels when their dramatic family comes home for Thanksgiving: “Please, God, everyone just smile, be quiet, and eat your food.”

According to a source with Us Weekly, the queen is mentally preparing for Prince Harry’s first trip back to the U.K. since he and Meghan Markle left for Canada in January. “The Queen’s hoping everyone will put on a united front when Harry returns to London in March—even though there’s still tension behind closed doors,” the source says. “It’ll be interesting to watch their body language and see how they are together.”

Queen Elizabeth reportedly invited Harry and Meghan home earlier this February and has “urged the royal family not to obstruct Harry and Meghan’s aspirations for a new life.”

Harry, Meghan, and 9-month-old son Archie have reportedly been enjoying a “quiet life” in Vancouver since stepping down from their royal duties…at least until they find the right home in L.A. for the summer. “Harry’s much happier in Canada and feels a lot more relaxed,” the source tells Us Weekly. “So far he doesn’t regret the move.”

While it’s already been reported that Prince Harry and Prince William did not part on great terms but have been talking more, the source claims the brothers have spoken only a “couple times” about “business matters.”

“Harry’s more sensitive and emotional than William—he takes everything so personally. He can be rather impulsive at times,” the source said. “[William] doesn’t let things get to him like Harry does. That’s not to say William has a heart of steel—he’s actually an incredibly loving and kind man, he just has a different way of dealing with emotions and is more level-headed than his brother.”

Recently, Meghan and Harry took a trip to Miami, where the younger prince gave a speech about mental health.

“Harry spoke about mental health and how he has been in therapy for the past three years to try to overcome the trauma of losing his mother,” a source told Page Six. “He talked about how the events of his childhood affected him and that he has been talking to a mental health professional.”

It seems both royals are leaning on their spouses at the moment. Despite more responsibilities and a tighter schedule, Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly closer than ever. As for Harry, the source with Us Weekly claims Meghan “knows everything about her husband and is constantly advising him.”

Let’s just hope the two princes can work out their differences at Kensington Palace…if only for their grandma’s sake.
