Meghan Markle showed exactly how to turn up the style with Hollywood glam in New York City.  The Duchess of Sussex attended Ms Foundation's Women of Vision Awards.  Prince Harry and her mom Doria Ragland accompanied her as she received a Woman of Vision Award.  Not sure exactly what that is!

She Was Dripping In Gold And Jewels

For fear of not being the focal point after the Royal Coronation of King Charles a few weeks earlier, Meghan stunned in a gold, glitzy, strapless quilted dress dress by Johanna Ortiz.  Her jewelry and shoes complimented her outfit beautifully but the look came at a price - over $20,000!

A Near Catastrophic Car Chase?

The most recent story about Harry and Meghan has to be the car chase they were involved in, after leaving the awards ceremony.  They apparently got caught up in a 2 hour paparazzi incident which saw their bodyguard flag down a cab and shuffle them in the back.  Hmmm, you couldn't make it up or could you?

High Court Battle For Harry

I

Harry (formerly known as Prince), is currently waging four separate legal battles against three different newspaper groups.  They involve obtaining illegal information by phone hacking years earlier and one story he says is libellous.  The jury is still out on that one but we wait with baited breath.

Harry Can't Get His Own Way

Harry has lost his bid for the second time to allow him to pay the Metropolitan Police for security when he and Meghan are in the UK. (Are they planning on ever stepping foot in the UK again?)  The Met said they are not "guns for hire" and as Harry is not a working Royal, it's a no from them.

We Get A Glimpse Of Their Home

After moving into their new home almost 3 years ago, Harry and Meghan tease us all with a glimpse of their house in Santa Barbara.  Apparently, it cost $14.5 million and the couple obtained a mortgage for $9.5 million.  The "wannabe" private couple showed us the stunning decor of the property in Montecito.

In their recent Netflix documentary, where they scooped $100 million for telling all, Harry leaves it unambiguous as to what he thinks may have caused his wife Meghan's miscarriage in 2020.  Devastating as it was, Harry had to find someone to blame and he chose the media attention.

The Couple Said Royals Were Jealous Of Them

Early into their relationship as a couple in the royal family, Harry and Meghan say they understood their popularity was creating issues for the rest of the royals. After a Buckingham Palace event, only Harry and Meghan's photos were splashed across the tabloids, a sure sign of the nation's approval of them.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion!

Meghan Blames The Media

Meghan's letter to her father was certainly one of the biggest stories in the tabloids.  That's why she blames them for the rift between her father and herself.  She says the two of them were extremely close until he conducted interviews about her to the Press.  The late Queen had advised her to write to her father to patch up the relationship but she didn't.

That Oprah Interview

Whilst that interview was conducted back in 2021, details of the couple's conversations and views regarding the royal family are still being "nitpicked."  We already knew the couple wanted to lead a quiet, private life but they did get paid a fortune for taking part!  Many of their allegations have either been swept under the carpet by them or investigated and found to be untrue. Was the actress acting?  How did Harry feel?

Harry Is The Spare

Well, we know everything how Harry felt, from growing up, losing his virginity and getting frostbite in a place not recommended!  He told us open eared listeners and readers about private confrontations with his brother and father and his dislike for the future Queen Camilla.  His book "Spare" shot to the top of the bestsellers but maybe for the wrong reasons.

Meghan Won't Reconcile With Father And Sister

Samantha Markle is now "past the point where there is any hope" of reconciliation with her half-sister.  Samantha was reunited with her father Thomas Markle Sr and brother, Thomas Jr, to speak about their past and it was the family's first onscreen reunion since Meghan and Harry married.  Meghan's father suffered a major stroke and is a very unwell man.

Harry And Meghan Don't Appear Happy

When photographed by Royal snapper Arthur Edwards recently, he said the couple looked downcast and "frazzled."  Arthur had been photographing the royals for well over 40 years and got to know them well.  He had previously enjoyed a good relationship with Harry but that now appears to have disappeared.

Bethenny Frankel Gives Her View

Bethenny Frankel urges Meghan Markle to join the women on "Real Housewives" after she alienated fans.  Meghan caused an outburst when she and Harry demanded the photo agency who apparently hounded them for over 2 hours, hand over the footage.  American law dismisses these types of requests.  Bethany went on to say that Meghan should get used to be infamous and just join "Real Housewives because viewers love to hate members of the cast - that's entertainment!

$100 Million Netflix Deal May Not Renew

Image source: Variety

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (the private couple) have been on a frenzied PR blitz in recent times.  Because Harry has dropped bombshell revelations, in his book "Spare" and on late night American chat shows, Netflix feel he has little more to divulge to attract an audience and they may not renew his deal.

Plans To Purchase Private Island

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly considering snapping up a private island.  They were kicked out of Frogmore Cottage some time ago and "need" somewhere else to hang out when they are not at home in Santa Barbara.  Of course, they are looking for privacy!

South Park Mocks The Couple

Image source: Sky News

The episode of South Park that mocked the couple was almost excruciating to watch but somehow we managed. The characters based on Harry and Meghan attend the funeral of the Canadian Queen, and as they arrive, they saunter past a candle which is identical to the one that became the source of social media attention last year.  We see the couple embark on a world wide privacy tour!

Archie's Fourth Birthday

If ever there was a good excuse to leave your father's Coronation, barely minutes after the crown was placed on His Majesty, The King's head, then Harry had the perfect one.  He HAD to get back to the States for Archie's 4th birthday party.  Worlds away from Meghan's baby shower with Archie, homemade lemon cake and recycled party bags were the order of the day.

Focussing On Archwell

Image source: Meaww

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex want to build a better online world, to promote gender equity and challenge harmful gender stereotypes.  This is what their Archwell charity is all about.  There was a slight issue where a huge amount of money disappeared wih no answers as to its whereabout.

King Charles Mentions The Grandchildren

During his Coronation speech, King Charles mentioned his grandchildren, those with him and those who were not, namely Archie and Lilibet.  The King has yet to meet Lilibet (now Princess Lilibet of Sussex) and it must hurt him.  Even his youngest son, Harry, couldn't get away from  the Coronation quick enough.

Where Was Meghan During The King's Coronation

Image source: People

The Duchess of Sussex decided to go on a hike whilst husband, Harry, reluctantly attended his father's Coronation.  She joined friends Markus Anderson and Heather Dorak near her home in Montecito. She wore a hat and sunglasses for the outing, tying a jacket around her waist, looking very understated.

Meghan's Podcast

Image source: Page Six

Meghan Markle officially launched her long awaited podcast, named Archetypes, after son Archie.  The Duchess conveniently interviewed all her friends who were very gushing about her.  When we say interview, that's a little off the mark as Meghan did most of the talking herself.

Meghan Changes Her Appearance

You can't help but notice that Meghan has changed the way she looks and the consensus is that she means business.  She has gone from being photographed barefoot with her hair tied up in a loose bun to a new sleek hairstyle and coated in designer wear.  She made a point of wearing Harry's late mom's watch when she was being "papped."

The Brothers Are Still At War

Harry made no attempt to speak to his brother, Prince William of Wales, when they were at their father's Coronation.  As they were sat nowhere near each other during the ceremony, it made it easier to stay apart.  When interviewed recently. Prince Harry admitted he hadn't text or contacted his brother for "some time."

Harry Isn't A Fan Of Queen Camilla

Prince Harry has not been shy in speaking his mind about his father's wife, Queen Camilla.  He says in both his book "Spare" and on the late night chat shows he appeared in (which he seemed to really enjoy)  that she had a hidden agenda, was "a villain" and was "dangerous."

Harry Keeps In Touch With His Cousins

Even though Harry has alienated himself from pretty much all of the royal family, he has, however, stayed on good terms with his two cousins, Eugenie and Beatrice, daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.  Harry actually went to the Superbowl with Princess Eugenie and the two have an especially close bond.

Harry And Meghan Intent On Making Money

Prince Harry may still receive an allowance from his father, although that has never been confirmed.  Because of the lifestyle they wish to have and their plans going forward to possibly purchasing an island, they are taking up every opportunity if the dollars are high enough.

Meghan Wants to Be A Star

Hot off the press - Meghan is trying to land a role worth $30 million in an upcoming US production. This claim was made after Harry and Meghan dined with Hollywood celebrities Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow.  Remember that Paltrow's husband, Brad Falchuk, is a producer.  Very convenient!

Meghan Is Happy Her Kids Have Titles

Image source: The Mirror

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (especially the Duke) didn't want to keep their royal titles.  In fact, Prince Harry said he wanted to be known as purely "Harry."  When the late Queen of England passed away and Prince Charles became King, their kids were automatically awarded the titles of Prince and Princess, just as Meghan had wanted all along.

The "Race" Card Is Brushed Under The Carpet

Image source: Jacaranda FM

Anyone who watched Harry and Meghan's interview with their close friend, Oprah, will have been as shocked as Oprah herself when the couple dropped a bombshell - that someone in the Royal household had been racist by asking what color their unborn child might be.  Fast forward and we hear it had all been a misunderstanding and they didn't want to discuss it further.

Meanwhile... 20 Things King Charles III LOVES! A trip to Corfu, Greece

image source: reddit.com

With all the buzz about Harry and Meghan and what they're doing now, there are meanwhile some surefire things that King Charles has loved, does love and will always love - Amen! It's safe to say the king has traveled to many places in the world doing his royal rounds, but one place in particular apparently has his heart: Corfu, Greece! He's spoken before about how he considers Greece to be "in his blood", and that he's had a deep interested in the ancient history of Greece. We don't blame him, who doesn't love Greek mythology?

A very specific football team in Lancashire, UK

image source: reddit.com

Burnley, a town in Lancashire in the UK, has actually been a keen visitor spot for the king, a long time before he was officially crowned. Charles has always had a soft spot for this old coal mining town, and he started to support Burnley's football team, the Clarets who play at Turf Moor, after he'd done charity work in the town and never looked back! He was even given a VIP season ticket (because of course he's a VIP, he's the king!) for a premier league team, and after that he's spoken out about how this area of England is a place he cares about.

The song 'Lulu's Back in Town'

image source: reddit.com

Just in case you ever found yourself pondering what the king of England's favorite song is, for some reason, he's partial to Lulu's Back in Town by Dick Powell. It's known to be a staple piece of jazz music from the 1930s - 1935 specifically - and there's a very sweet reason that he likes the song, apart from it just being a catchy tune! The king has said before that he likes that piece of music so much because it reminds him of his grandmother. Maybe he overheard her listening to it - or they might have listened to it together!

A nice boiled egg

image source: reddit.com

While the rest of us can now feel guilty about all the high sugary snacks we enjoy, or the chocolate bars we wolf down on a daily basis, King Charles III is out here declaring his love for boiled eggs as his favorite snack! Rather than just a healthy breakfast option, the king likes to eat them any time of the day, really. But they have to be specifically boiled. We all have our egg preferences, so we're not judging. He apparently eats at least one boiled egg every single day - and they have to have been cooked for exactly seven minutes!

The 'Good Life' board game

image source: whatsgoodtodo.com

Did you ever think the king had time for board games? A royal needs some downtime too, after all, especially after an official royal coronation. We imagine he likes to play this in the palace with Queen Consort Camilla, maybe. Charles has been so taken by this game, that he actually had an aide write a letter to the creator of the game to gush all about it! In the letter, Charles said that it's a "valuable contribution to educating people" about sustainability issues, and that it's also "great fun to play" at the same time! Bless him.

The Great British Bake Off!

image source: reddit.com

If you're a British person, then this is going to be one of your favorite shows just on principle - it's cakes, it's a sunny day, it's a nice tent and it's comedy gold. The show has been so successful that even people across the pond enjoy watching the pastel-colored antics in the tent. King Charles III is perhaps the most royal of its fans - because you can't get anymore royal than him - and they went so far as having an official visit, him and Camilla, to the tent to meet the semi-finalist of one of the seasons, where they got the opportunity to reveal that they were huge fans!

Playing the cello

image source: reddit.com

If you know anything about Charles's history as a young man and young prince growing up, you might already know that he can play an instrument or two! The cello is one of the instruments he can play, but it also happens to be his favorite. He played it the most while he was an undergrad student at Cambridge university, where he was once snapped in his rooms at Trinity College giving the instrument a go. He's a very accomplished player, and no doubt he still plays it to relax at the palace... when he's not playing board games or eating eggs, of course.

Even kings get crushes on celebs, too...

image source: reddit.com

Take a look at Camilla Parker Bowles and you can tell that he's taste in women, of course - and to say he's been in love with her most of his life, you'd think he only ever had eyes for her. But it's not the case! Even the king of England can develop a little unrequited celebrity crush, of course. So who was Charles's? None other than legendary songstress and actress, Barbra Streisand! Apparently Charles once told author Christopher Anderson that Barbra was his "only pin-up". We wonder if he meant that literally and had a poster of her in his royal room...

A nice slice of fruit cake

image source: reddit.com

Fruit cake is a very British thing indeed, especially over the holidays at Christmas time as it's commonly used as a Christmas Cake or dessert! And it's no surprise that the man who's a huge fan of The Great British Bake Off is also a huge fan of cake - and one cake in particular. King Charles III's most favorite cake is the traditional fruit cake. He even requested it to be the birthday cake of choice for his 70th, and he ended up with a very personalized one that included decorations of animals and a little basket with eggs (we hope they were boiled).

His Aston Martin

image source: reddit.com

The royals are known for their collections of cars, too, and usually each monarch will have their preferred way of getting around. The late Queen Elizabeth II was known for her Land Rover when she wasn't being pulled around in a carriage. For Charles, it's a very different car entirely - and a luxury one at that. This isn't a car you'd want to be driving down muddy country lanes like the queen's Land Rover did. Charles's favorite car is his Aston Martin DB6 Volante. He was actually gifted the car by his late mother for his 21st birthday, and it now runs on biofuel.

The mysteries of Transylvania!

image source: reddit.com

He might have sung all the praises of Corfu in Greece, but his heart also belongs to another particular place in the world. While Charles's favorite holiday location is Corfu, his favorite place in the world to visit is none other than Transylvania in Romania. The king has said that he thinks of Transylvania as his "second home" because of its undeniable beauty, and he loves the mystery surrounding it - which we all do, when Dracula hails from there, of course! Who knew Charles was into the mysteries of vampires - maybe he's a fan of Twilight...

A specific suit maker

image source: tatler.com

If there's one thing Charles is known for - even though there are many, many things by now - it's his taste in very expensive suits. Most of his public outings and royal visits have seen him wearing a very nicely tailored suit. He must have gone through millions of them in his lifetime! And his love for suits is all down to his favorite tailor who makes the suits for him: Anderson & Sheppard. He's often seen favoring a wide-cut suit jacket, which was actually known to be the former king of Spain's suit jacket of choice too. Maybe he has an admirer?

Margherita pizza (yum)

image source: reddit.com

You can debate about pineapple on pizza all you want, but all King Charles III is bothered about is that delicious cheese and tomato pizza! When he's not eating eggs (which we hope he doesn't put on the top of his pizza as an added topping) his favorite pizza is a simple Margherita - because often, simple is the best! The story goes that he was made a delicious Margherita pizza during a trip to Scotland off the cuff, and the then-Prince revealed that it was actually his favorite! Thank goodness the chef got it right, at least...

Painting watercolors

image source: reddit.com

When he's not playing the cello, King Charles III is actually a huge fan of creative outlets like painting and watercolor painting specifically. He's actually been spotted a lot propped outside in his chair and painting landscapes. Painting is definitely one of his favorite hobbies, and he makes time for painting whenever he is not working his royal duties. He's actually had completed paintings which have sold, with the proceeds from them then going towards The Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation - though of course the name might need updating to 'king'!

He's partial to a plum or two

image source: reddit.com

This guy really loves round snacks, doesn't he? Just in case you ever wondered, Charles's favorite fruit is a delicious plum. He's actually a huge fan of freshly grown fruit and vegetables which have been homepicked from his own estate. It also explains why he liked that board game so much when it's all about the sustainability of food! The former royal chef once revealed that Charles always favored the plum when it came to fruit picked from his garden. It must make a healthy and delicious snack to take with him when he's painting!

And he likes a certain brand of whisky

image source: reddit.com

The King of England must have enjoyed many different drinks in his lifetime - some that he's chosen himself, but many others we're sure have been whipped up by other people for him to try during his royal visits. And he's certainly done a brewery tour or two! But Charles number one favorite alcoholic tipple is whisky: specifically, Laphroaig whisky, which hails from the island Islay, which lies on the west coast of Scotland. If you're going to get your whisky from anywhere, Scotland is definitely the place to get it from!

He likes squirrels!

image source: reddit.com

The king is clearly a lover of wildlife and nature, whether it's painting the trees, picking fruit from his garden or watching the animals. He's actually said that his favorite animal is the squirrel - not a dog or a cat! - and that he feels such an affinity with them that he actually started the Red Squirrel Survival Trust, a charity whose purpose is to protect this particular species - because red squirrels are actually endangered. Well at least he put his money where his mouth is in terms of trying to help the animal that he likes the most!

The way to his heart? A mushroom risotto

image source: reddit.com

Just in case you ever find yourself stood in front of the king of England and demanded to cook him something from scratch (which is extremely likely to happen, of course) and if you don't have margherita pizza ingredients to hand, your best bet is to whip up a mushroom risotto - because it's the king's favorite meal! And you might not be surprised to learn that he always prefers to eat mushrooms which have been grown on his own home turf at his royal estate. He then likes to pair the mushroom risotto with lamb.

He has The Three Degrees on repeat

image source: reddit.com

Sure, Charles may have had a huge crush on Barbra Streisand, but apparently not enough to have her music on his Spotify shuffle! His favorite band is actually The Three Degrees (so we'll let him off because this is his favorite band, not his favorite singer) and he actually went so far as to have them perform in person at his 30th birthday party! They sang their song 'Giving Up, Giving In' and Charles has said the song makes him want to dance - and if this famous photo is anything to go by, he was definitely telling the truth!

This brilliant restaurant - that's actually called 'Brilliant'

image source: andyhayler.com

So of all the places he's been in the world, and all the food he's had served to him, where is the king's favorite place to eat? Is it a restaurant in Greece? In a Transylvanian castle? Food from his own garden? Nope, it's actually a restaurant in London - because where else for a British king! His favorite place to eat is the Brilliant Restaurant which lies in Covent Garden, and it's a curry house! It was named the best Punjabi restaurant - backed by the king's approval, we're sure - and even won a lifetime achievement award! That must be some seriously good food.
