Michelle Obama Offers Advice to Meghan Markle

Michelle Obama is one of the few people who can relate to everything Meghan Markle is going through right now. Except for the part about being involved in a bitter, nasty, petty, vicious rivalry with her sister-in-law , we guess. Both Obama and Markle were thrust into the spotlight due to their relationships with high profile men, however. The former married a State Senator who became President of the United States… while the latter married a handsome party animal who has a mostly meaningless title, yet is very rich, popular and respected. In the new issue of Good Housekeeping, the ex-First Lady offers up a few words of wisdom for the Duchess of Sussex, saying in the pages of this magazine: “Like me, Meghan probably never dreamt that she’d have a life like this, and the pressure you feel – from yourself and from others – can sometimes feel like a lot.” We’re sure this is factual. So, what does Obama suggest? “My biggest piece of advice would be to take some time and don’t be in a hurry to do anything,” she says to/of Markle. It seems sort of like Meghan has already ignored this advice, though, right? She and Prince Harry will welcome a child less than a year after getting married, meaning they made said child together after just three months or so as husband and wife. No judgment of any kind here. We’re just saying: they definitely procreated in a hurry. Markle is similar to Obama in one way, however. Michelle is famous for saying “when they go low, we go high,” making it clear that she won’t ever engage with critics on their cruel levels. Meghan, meanwhile, simply won’t engaged with critics… at all, really. Which is basically the same thing. She has been under attack by her awful half-sister for many months now, yet has never uttered a negative word in public about Samantha Markle . Of late, attention has turned to an alleged feud with Kate Middleton , but Markle has remained mum in regard to this chatter as well. She’s mostly just gone around smiling and keeping herself cool, totally a Michelle Obama kind of move. Obama, of course, raised two daughters directly in the public eye. And Markle will be doing the same with her child once he or she is born. “I spent the first few months in the White House mainly worrying about my daughters, making sure they were off to a good start at school and making new friends before I launched into any more ambitious work,” Obama told Good Housekeeping “I think it’s okay – it’s good, even – to do that.” Kids come first, in other words. At almost all times. Obama also talked about the Duchess of Sussex’s power to make a difference, something Markle does know well, considering her many humanitarian initiatives over the years. Concludes Obama: “What I’d say is that there’s so much opportunity to do good with a platform like that. “And I think Meghan can [maximize] her impact for others, as well her own happiness, if she’s doing something that resonates with her personally.” In September of this year, Meghan helped release a cookbook that features recipes from women affected by the fatal Grenfell Tower fire. Then, in October, she delivered a speech about the importance of women’s rights in New Zealand. She’s on the right track in this department, that much seems certain.

Meghan Markle: MAJOR BABY BUMP ALERT!!!!

There have been many rumors about Meghan Markle of late. Some outlets have claimed she will soon pose nude . Others have written that she’s in the Queen’s doghouse due to her fugly clothing . We can’t confirm or deny these pieces of chatter, but we do know the following… … Meghan Markle is definitely pregnant! We know this because the Duchess herself has confirmed it, of course. But we also know it because we got a glimpse of Markle’s midsection when she stepped out with Prince Harry at the Royal Variety Performance in London on Monday. As you can see by the photos above and below, the Duchess is very much showing at this point, by which we mean: HELLO THERE, BABY BUMP!!!!! The aforementioned event happened to fall on Markle and Harry’s six-month anniversary, making it extra special for the world to really get its first look here at the couple’s growing child-to-be. And Meghan obviously isn’t hiding anything at this point, either, as she was spotted cradling her precious baby bump on multiple occasions while out and about. Harry and his gorgeous wife attended the annual televised event to support the Royal Variety Charity, which benefits hundreds of UK entertainers in need of help and assistance due to old age, ill-health or difficult times. It’s an admirable cause. The famous and beloved twosome recently wrapped up their first official tour as a married couple, capping it off with what many consider to be the most stunning maternity ever snapped by anyone ever. You can see it HERE . “Australia, Fiji, Tonga and NZ – we leave feeling inspired and reminded of how every single one of us can make a difference,” Harry wrote as a caption to the aforementioned image. He didn’t say anything about the baby on board for him and Markle, but this has become the norm for most Royal Couples. They announce the pregnancy through Kensington Palace and then try their hardest not to feed into the paparazzi frenzy surrounding the impending birth. Like Prince William and Kate Middleton before them, Meghan and Harry are just trying to mostly lay low and prepare for parenthood at this point. Back in mid-October, the Palace released a statement that read: Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019. Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public. We’ve heard the Royal Baby is due on May 2, but we don’t know that for certain. All we can say without any shadows of any doubts is this; We can’t wait to meet him or her!

Samantha Markle Confesses: I Want to Get Rich By Trashing Meghan!

It’s been almost five months since Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, and thus far, the marriage has been as devoid of drama as most royal unions (sadly, the Fergies of the world are the exception, not the rule). Fortunately, Meghan’s awful family has provided plenty of unintentional entertainment as they attempt to cash in on their tenuous ties to the throne. Half-sister Samantha Markle has been doing her best to humiliate Meghan since before her engagement was announced, and at first, some folks gave her the benefit of the doubt. With the possible exception of obsessive Suits most folks didn’t know much about Meghan’s personal life, and thus, certain media outlets ate up Sam’s accounts of a spoiled, selfish princess-in-training. It’s not like any of those traits are hugely uncommon amongst C-list actresses. But as we learned more about both Meghan and Samantha, a clearer picture began to emerge. Samantha was a failed actress (with a one-time appearance on freakin’ Matlock as her sole IMDb credit), who had been spent most of her life consumed with jealousy toward her more successful little sister. Even Samantha’s mother sided with Meghan and admitted that Sam’s been a thorn in her sibling’s side for quite some time: “Samantha has been dogging her for years,” she said of her daughter. “Everything she has said about her is a lie.” Despite Samantha having been thoroughly discredited (we now know she had zero contact with Meghan for more than a decade before the royal wedding), the 53-year-old remains a fixture on the British media circuit. And as E! News points out, Sam has finally admitted that her main goal in slandering her sister is to get rich by riding Meg’s coattails. “Let’s face it—we all have to survive,” Samantha said in a recent interview. “Money makes the world go round, so if you want to call that cashing in, that’s fine, but I think no one in media would refuse a paycheck for talking about the royals and, as a family, we’re not subject to royal protocol.” Hmm … we think a LOT of people would refuse a paycheck that required them to publicly insult members of their immediate family, but that’s just us. Samantha’s favorite justification for her repulsive behavior is that she’s “in the media.” When pressed about her nasty put-downs, she dismisses them as the result of having “worked in broadcasting and radio for a while,” adding that she’s “always been a bit boisterous.” So when Samantha shows up at Kensington Palace unannounced and has to be turned away by security, she’s not making her sister’s life a living hell. No, she’s just trying to earn a living. And if she has to ruin her sister’s life in the process? Hey, that’s just the cost of doing business.

Prince Harry is Just Railing Meghan Markle 24/7, Source Alleges

According to a revealing new report, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are very busy these days. Doing what, you may be wondering? Doing EACH OTHER, a possibly reliable source claims! Indeed, with rumors circulating around the Internet that Markle is already pregnant with the couple’s first child, this insider tells Hollywood Life that such claims are premature. There is no small human growing inside Markle’s womb. Not yet anyway. But this doesn’t mean Harry and his relatively new wife aren’t doing all they can to make it happen. They totally are. They are totally engaged in some Royal Railing as often as possible. “Harry is having the best time of his life with his new bride,” some random person who apparently knows every thing tells Hollywood Life, adding: ” Meghan and Harry are enjoying non-stop baby-making sex at all hours of the day. ” It’s unclear just how this person knows that Harry is sticking his scepter inside Meghan’s throne (if you know what we mean!), but Hollywood Life seems pretty confident in its report. And this person seems very much aware of what sort of sex schedule is being kept by the gorgeous Prince and Duchess. “Meghan has an app on her phone that tracks of her fertility, so when she is most likely to conceive, her and Harry make the most of their time together,” the article states. Over the past few weeks, chatter of Markle’s alleged pregnancy has grown stronger than ever. It’s inevitable that the couple will conceive; it’s only a matter of when the blessed event will happen and if Great Britain will survive the chaos that ensues on the baby is confirmed. Oddsmakers and gambling websites across the ocean are banking on an announcement maybe coming as soon as this weekend. But the aforementioned insider explains that Markle is not actually knocked up yet — although the stars certainly would receive an A for effort! “In the mornings, afternoons and at night, they make time for love with a baby being the goal,” this really knowledgable person details, saying of the Prince: “Harry is not complaining at all!” Well, no. How could he when his mouth is full of his wife’s bosom at all hours of everyday? For the record, however, Harry and Markle are not full-time residents of Pound Town because they feel pressure to have a baby. They are too smart and too mature for that. They are well aware of the responsibilties of having a parent and would never make this decision just because a few websites are wondering when it will happen. Heck, Hollywood Life concludes, they don’t even know what is being discussed on social media. “[Meghan] and Harry really don’t pay much attention to all the rumors, as they accept that it’s just part and parcel of being who they are,” says this source.

Meghan Markle: We’ll Do ANYTHING to Make My Dad Shut Up!

Even though Thomas Markle promises to stop talking already , it doesn’t look like Duchess Meghan’s family’s reign of terror is going to end any time soon. Between her dad and two of her half-siblings, the Palace is at a loss for what to do. This isn’t the good ol’ days when they could just throw people in the dungeons, folks. The Palace is having to rethink its long-standing policies to address Prince Harry’s new in-laws. A source spoke with Entertainment Tonight about Meghan Markle’s family and how she and Kensington Palace intend to deal with this ongoing problem. Speaking of Meghan and her father, an insider reveals: “She has gone through periods of difficulty with her father in the past.” That’s pretty normal for most families. “But,” the source makes sure to clarify. “She does love him.” Of course, in this situation, loving the person who is constantly blabbing to any camera he sees just makes it more painful. “That’s what’s been so difficult about this,” the insider explains. “The Palace,” the source says. “Normally takes a firm policy of not commenting on personal matters.” The royal family is always going to be the center of rumors and speculation and conspiracy theories. The insider reveals that Kensington Palace “is now considering a more aggressive strategy to deal with the situation.” Jokes about the Queen hiring assassins aside, this is a big deal. The source explains that the Palace is considering how to deal “with both her father and her sister.” “No one wants to see this continue,” the insider shares. For anyone, having family members constantly embarrassing and badmouthing them on a global stage is an absolute horror. However, the source does mention that the Palace is “less concerned” when it comes to Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha. They’re less worried, the insider explains, “because she has never had a real relationship with Meghan.” Meghan was close with her idiot dad . Samantha, it seems, is just delighting in being cruel on any show that will give her airtime. Entertainment Tonight had previously heard about how strained things have become between Meghan and Daddy Dearest. “She has not spoken to her father in more than 10 weeks since her wedding,” an insider revealed. That is understandable. Especially since her father, by his own admission, hung up on Prince Harry a short time after his photo scandal came to light. Meghan, the source shared, “is still hurt by her father, who has both staged the photos and continues to give paid interviews.” He claims that the interview that he gave on Sunday will be his last. We’ll see. “The Palace is at a loss of what to do and is re-evaluating options,” the insider stated. The Palace is condiering a lot of things, the source said, “including a more aggressive strategy to stem the embarrassment caused by Meghan’s dad, half-sister, and half-brother.” What we’re guessing is that the Palace will either give official statements to clear the air and discredit Meghan’s relatives and some of their nastier claims. Or they may use their considerable resources to counter Harry’s in-laws in a less direct manner, perhaps with a media campaign of their own. It’s even conceivable that they could effectively bribe Meghan’s family into silence, though that would set a very alarming precedent.

Kate Middleton: Pregnant with Baby #3! FOR REAL!

How is THIS for an appropriate announcement on Labor Day?!? Kate Middleton is pregnant with her third child! Chatter over the state of Middleton’s womb is incessant overseas and within the United States, of course. There’s been talk over whether or not she was expecting baby number-three pretty much since she gave birth to baby number-two. But questions over whether or not Middleton was pregnant have grown stronger of late, with this being one of those rare occasions on which the tabloids got it right. (After, like, 679 times of them getting it wrong.) Kensington Palace has confirmed that the parents off four-year old Prince George and two-year-old Princess Charlotte have another bun in their beloved oven. “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child,” the statement from reads, concluding: “The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.” We don’t know for certain just when Kate or William themselves will speak on the news. During her first two pregnancies, the 35-year old dealt with acute morning sickness, also known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum. She has this same condition now and therefore canceled an appearance scheduled for Monday morning. “As with her previous two pregnancies, The Duchess is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum,” says The Palace. “Her Royal Highness will no longer carry out her planned engagement at the Hornsey Road Children’s Centre in London today,” the statement said. “The Duchess is being cared for at Kensington Palace.” Due to this illness, and how it may effect how often we see Middleton going forward, the Royal Family confirmed this big news early. It is believed Kate is still in her first trimester. One half of this cover claim is finally true! She is due some time in the spring of 2018. This must be an especially emotional time for Prince William, whose recently gave a number of interviews because his mother, Princess Diana, passed away 20 years ago late last week. The birth will relegate Prince Harry down to sixth in line to the throne. If the baby is a boy, he will actually NOT displace big sister Charlotte in the line of succession, due to a measure that passed just after Will and Kate’s 2011 wedding. Up until this change, a younger son would usurp his older sister’s place when it comes to inheriting the throne. But all that business is for another day… … the important thing to announce here is that KATE MIDDLETON IS PREGNANT! We are so very happy for her and we wish her nothing but the best. We hope she rests up and we hope the press gives her and her loved ones some room to breathe over the next few months. Hooray for the famous couple! View Slideshow: William and Kate: 18 Times The Tabloids Got It Wrong UPDATE: Talking to reporters on Monday, Prince Harry (who may soon be expecting his first marriage !) said the news was, “fantastic, great. Very, very happy for them.” Asked about Middleton, he added: “I haven’t seen her for a while but I think I she’s okay.” She’s more than okay now, we bet!
