Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are Moving (But Why?!?)

The Royal Rivalry may be real, folks. Then again, it may not be. But there is a new reason to believe that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry truly do not get along well with Kate Middleton and Prince William — and that reason is outlined below. The expecting parents have confirmed that they’re moving from their current residence at Nottingham Cottage in London to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, England. The former cottage is where Markle and Harry hosted their wedding reception and where most assumed they would remain into parenthood. However, this is what the official statement from the Royal Family reads on the matter: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate early next year as they prepare for the arrival of their first child… Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate. The Duke and Duchess’s office will continue to be based at Kensington Palace. Why the residence switch, however? Could it really be due to the strained relationship that reportedly exists between Markle and Middleton? Just a few days before the move was announced, insiders alleged that the famous spouses did not get along because Kate thinks Meghan has been hogging the spotlight . There’s also been plenty of chatter of late about British people in general disliking Markle due to her clothing and attitude . In many respects, it does seem as though the shine on Markle has dulled a bit in the eyes and minds of those around her. However, The Sun writes that the issue may not be between Markle and Middleton… … but between Harry and Williams. “The initial plan was for Harry and Meghan to move out of their cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace and into one of the main apartments,” a source tells this newspaper, adding: “But there has been a bit of tension between the brothers. “Now Harry and Meghan don’t want to live next to William and Kate and want to strike out on their own.” Interesting, right? To be clear, Frogmore Cottage has 10 bedrooms and is significantly bigger than Nottingham Cottage. With a baby on the way, it’s no surprise Markle and Harry would want to change digs, especially because Meghan’s mother will be staying with them for awhile once the child is born. But why move so far away? We can’t say for certain. All we know is that many change are afoot for Harry and Meghan, just seven months or so after they became husband and wife. The couple announced shortly after arriving in Australia for their 16-day royal tour in October that they’re expecting. They have not yet revealed the gender or the due date, although most think the baby will arrive in early May. A source told Us Weekly last month that the couple planned to raise their little one outside city limits. “No one bothers them there,” the palace source said at the time. “They’re excited to raise children in the country.” And that’s all there is to this move, the same tabloid writes. There’s no scandal at play here: “This proves that Harry and Meghan really want to raise their children out of the public eye. They never loved living in London. “They enjoy their time in the country much more than the city and feel most at home there.” View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess

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!

Meghan Markle: Driving Royal Staffers to Quit with Her Diva Demands?

While rumors say that Kate Middleton resents Meghan Markle stealing her spotlight , it turns out that Meghan has gotten on the last nerve of others in the Palace. Meghan and Harry lost three of their employees in a very short time. A report says that Meghan may be causing this “stampede” with her insistence on following her own path instead of royal protocol. According to a report by the Sunday Express , Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s household has lost yet another staffer. Samantha Cohen was the couple’s private secretary. She has now departed from the post. She was preceded in that job by Edward Lane Fox, who also left that position by his own choice. And on Saturday, someone walked out who worked even more closely with Meghan. Meghan Markle’s personal assistant was known only by “Melissa.” Melissa has spent the past six months at Kensington Palace with Meghan. Among her duties was having a very direct role in key elements of preparing for the Royal Wedding in May of this year.  Well, Melissa has now reportedly resigned. Some have interpreted the loss of three members of the Royal couple’s staff as a sign that something is wrong. According to how a source characterized matters to the Sunday Express , this is very unusual. “To lose one member of the household could happen to anyone,” the insider admits. Two is happenstance. But three? “To lose three in a few months is starting to look like a stampede,” the source says. Maybe that is a little dramatic, but that does seem like a lot of turnaround for one couple’s household, right? So … what’s sending these staffers running for the hills? Allegedly, Meghan Markle’s independent attitude is driving away the household staff. As an actress, Meghan was a public figure long before she began dating Prince Harry. And, like most humans, she has a personal sense of style. She remains dedicated to that style even as a duchess, and is resistant to certain Royal traditions that would dictate how she should dress. Meghan wants to dress like herself. She doesn’t feel a need to be dressed in outfits that are virtually identical to those worn by Duchess Kate. We are meant to believe that Meghan’s sense of autonomy is viewed as “tiresome” by household staffers. In June, Meghan wore an off-the-shoulder blush colored Caroline Herrera gown to attend the Trooping of the Colour event. (Gosh, Britain has goofy names for things) She has also worn purses whose straps cross the body rather than a simple clutch. Additionally, Meghan didn’t wear pantyhose for the engagement announcement. All of that is beautiful and even stylish, but flies in the face of stuffy Royal traditions. We’re not sure what to make of these reports. Meghan seems to be a genuinely likeable person. The narrative that she’s “difficult” and resistant to conforming to expectations is tempting, because she’s an American, but that doesn’t mean that it’s true. And it’s difficult to imagine that Meghan and Harry’s secretaries are so personally offended that Meghan’s formal attire isn’t boring enough that they quit. There can be real drama surrounding the Royal Family. But that doesn’t mean that every story has a scandal just beneath the surface. Sometimes, people just quit.

Meghan Markle: How She Got Owned by The Queen on Her Wedding Day

According to a new report, someone out there thinks Meghan Markle has a pretty serious attitude problem. And here’s the thing: That someone is NOT Meghan Markle’s half-sister. And it’s not Meghan Markle’s father, either. An insider tells The Sun that Markle wanted to wear a tiara with emeralds on her big wedding day back in May, but she was told this was an unacceptable choice. Meghan had her “heart set” on this accessory, writes Robert Jobson in his new book, and she “hit the roof” when the Palace denied the request. “The provenance of the tiara could not be established. There were concerns it could have come from Russia originally,” explains a source on why Markle was unable to don the item. This same source adds that Queen Elizabeth herself was none too pleased with her pending daughter-in-law’s reaction to the flap. “There was a very heated exchange that prompted the Queen to speak to Harry,” claims this report. “She said, ‘Meghan cannot have whatever she wants. She gets what tiara she’s given by me.'” This is how Markle ending up rocking a diamond and platinum bandeau tiara when she exchanged her vows on May 19. The book goes on to detail how the Queen also wondered why Meghan needed a veil for the wedding, given it was to be her second marriage. “The message from the Queen was very much Meghan needed to think about how she speaks to staff members and be careful to follow family protocols,” alleges this insider, who says Markle has been accused on numerous occasions of mistreating employees at the Palace: “Meghan can be difficult. She has very high standards and is used to working in a Hollywood environment.” Allow us to pause here and say: LOL!!!!! The implication is somehow that the environment on the set of the USA Network drama Suits, on which Markle starred for seven seaons, was more professional/formal than the environment at Kensington Palace . Throughout her time in the spotlight as Prince Harry’s girlfriend, fiance and now wife, Markle has mostly received rave reviews. She seems very respectful and comes across as a very positive presence in general. But she has run in to a few problems of late, from accusations that she sucks at bowing on a national stage to allegations that she far too often thumbs her nose Royal Protocol . And her terrible relatives, of course, think she’s a phony liar. Jobson’s book is titled “Charles at 70” and mostly focuses on the life of Prince Charles. But it does touch on the relationship between the Queen and Markle and says while they clash on occasion, as documented above, they get along at other times because they both love dogs. That’s pretty cute to note, isn’t it? View Slideshow: Meghan Markle Just Announced She’s Having a Boy … Right??

Meghan Markle Accused of Making "Worst Curtsy" in Recorded History

Meghan Markle played a lawyer on the USA Network hit drama Suits. But criticism continues to pour in regarding the Duchess of Sussex, most notably that she simply cannot play the role of a Royal with the proper respect it deserves. Over the past several weeks, sources have come down hard on Markle for snubbing various Palace traditions , typically ones associated with fashion and decorum. And now it seems as if certain people are also taking issue with the way Markle is acting overseas. The expecting mother and Prince Harry have mostly been receiving rave reviews for their behavior on their ongoing tour — but Markle is coming under fire at the moment for how she greeted Tonga’s King Tupou VI and his wife Queen Nanasipau’u last week. Specifically, how weakly sue curtsied on front of the powerful couple. Here is a still shot of the bow in question: Did Markle get down low enough? Did she hold her form for long enough? Did her facial expression make it clear she just wasn’t that into the gesture? All of the above, Twitter users appear to be saying. Here is a sampling of their most harsh responses to Markle’s lame curtsy: Those were the two worst curtsies I think I’ve ever seen! I wonder if maybe she wasn’t sure if she should curtsy? Either way, you gotta commit. I saw this video on Instagram. Gives the impression she did not know if she should curtsy or not. That seems plausible, right? It can be tricky to remember all the customs of various nations, especially for someone not raised in such an environment. In case you somehow haven’t heard, Markle is pregnant . So it’s also possible that she only gently curtsied in order to protect her fetus. We really can’t say for certain at the moment. However, a so-called etiquette expert named William Hanson told The Daily Mail that Markle has a lot to learn about how a Royal should act overall. He says she sticks her hands into her pockets on far too many occasions. “We know that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pioneering a new, relaxed, tactile branch of monarchy, but having hands in the pocket is a step too far,” this random critic says, adding: “There is good casual and there is bad casual. “Placing a hands in the pocket is too relaxed and unprofessional.” Markle, of course, is no stranger to criticism. Just ask her awful half-sister . We doubt she’ll respond to the backlash she is garnering here, especially because Hanson admits that her actions aren’t actually a big deal. Not in the grand scheme of life, that is. “Will the world end? No,” he concludes to The Mail. “It is just a small blip in Meghan’s usually delightful manners that can be easily corrected for future engagements.” PHEW .

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Break Our Hearts, Delay Visit to America

Happy news for fans of the Royal Family and of Suits alike: Meghan Markle is pregnant , for real. But there is less happy news for the Duchess’ fans who live in the United States, because she and Prince Harry are delaying their visit. The delay is because of her pregnancy. It will be worth the wait, however. TMZ reports that Meghan’s royal pregnancy is putting the couple’s plans to visit their fans across the pond on hold. As you may remember, the two of them were originally planning to visit America in the spring of 2019. Spring starts about five months from now. Well, Meghan Markle’s due date has been vaguely announced as being some time in the spring of 2019. She’ll want to avoid flying immediately before, during, and after giving birth — for medical reasons but also for social reasons. She may be the first American “princess,” but actually giving birth stateside might be a little much for the British public. Meghan and Harry’s visit to the U.S. isn’t being canceled, however — merely postponed. TMZ reports that the new plan has them hopping across tha Atlantic in the autumn of 2019. It’s not really a surprise that they’re reconsidering plans. Though Meghan and Harry went on their 16-day tour of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, and Fiji, they toned things down a little. Of particular concern was Zika virus, which can be transferred via mosquito bites and cause devastating birth defects. There is exciting news, however, because now, on their royal visit, they’ll be expected to have their baby in tow. Next fall, this royal baby will not only be born, but they could be as old as six months old. What’s more is that Meghan Markle is expected to still be an American citizen at that time. She is still going through the process of becoming a British citizen. Though there have been other Americans who have married into British nobility before, the process remains slow even for a Prince’s wife. Meghan’s due date, though officially scheduled for the “spring,” is said to be some time in the viscinity of May 2. As a general rule, you don’t want to fly within your first month after giving birth. These two are waiting longer than that for their journey. But as eager as people are to see this very special royal baby, we hope that Meghan and Harry’s stateside fans will be willing to wait. A royal baby is exciting, but newborns are generally kind of boring. If we’re talking about a six-month old, though, fans could get to see a royal baby who is old enough to look around and understand a lot of what’s being said. Of course, we imagine that a lot of their visit will be spent in Canada. Canada still has official ties to the British Royal Family because Canada is part of the “Commonwealth of Nations.” Visiting isn’t just a social call, it’s about affirming ties in part of one of the world’s oldest political associations between states. (The United States would be in a similar position had it not been for the Revolutionary War) This was also the reason for the couple’s visit to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga. Meghan and Harry’s visit to North America will be a big deal because of Meghan’s heritage. Some, including TMZ , have pointed out that Meghan’s child could, in a very unlikely set of circumstances, become both British monarch and U.S. President. Technically, this child will be in line to the throne. Also technically, any American citizen — as this child is expected to be at birth — can become President. But as entertaining as that idea may be, it would involve something unspeakably tragic happening to Prince William and all three of his children. No one wants that.

Meghan Markle: Endangering Her Unborn Baby By Traveling to Zika Zones?

As you’ve likely heard by now, Meghan Markle is pregnant with her first child. And as you may have also heard, she and Harry are currently touring the globe on their first official royal tour. Sources say Meghan chose to announce her pregnancy on Monday due to the fact that she knew she wouldn’t be able to conceal her bump as she spends the next several weeks posing for photo-ops with peasants. Duchess Meg is already in her second trimester, and insiders say her bump was visible at Princess Eugenie’s wedding on Saturday. She and Harry shared the big news with family and friends at the reception and filled the rest of the world in just 48 hours later. So now Preg Meg is now free to travel and wear whatever she wants without some dusty Australian needling her with questions while fending off an eight-foot spider with his didgeridoo. Yes, Meghan and Harry are currently Down Under, where they’ve spent the past couple days reassuring drought victims that God hasn’t abandoned them, despite the obvious fact that these poor bastards live in Australia. (Just kidding, Aussies! Throw another shrimp on the barbie for us!) Unfortunately, the next stops on their agenda have led to serious concerns about the health of Meghan’s unborn baby. First, the royal couple will hit New Zealand, where they’ll probably be forced to pretend to give a sh-t as Peter Jackson gushes about some lame-ass Lord of the Rings trivia. Then it’s off to Fiji and Tonga, both of which are still considered “Zika zones” by the CDC. You don’t hear much about Zika in the news these days, mainly because it’s not much of a problem in the developed world. But apparently, pregnant women are still advised to exercise extreme caution in Fiji and Tonga. Insiders say Harry and Meg  “sought medical advice” before the trip and decided the risks are minimal. That may sound dicey, but to be fair, royal doctors are probably in a class all their own. Harry can probably just pop in and pick out a new organ from his clone whenever he feels like it, then grab a handful of stem cells from the receptionsist’s desk on his way out. The same genius who’s been keeping the Queen alive for the past century likely hit Meghan with a super-secret vaccine, and then everyone shared a laugh about how he could totally do something about Prince Charles’ ears but chooses not too for the lulz. Nothing to worry about! View Slideshow: Meghan Markle Baby Bump Watch: Is She Showing Yet?

Meghan Markle’s Terrible Family Has THIS to Say About Her Pregnancy

As you very likely know by now, Meghan Markle is getting set to welcome a new member of her family. Indeed, the Duchess of Sussex is pregnant ! Unfortunately, Markle’s expecting state does not mean she is finished dealing with old members of her family. In fact, she’ll likely be stuck hearing from them even more over the next few months as they angle to meet their future young relative. We’re talking, of course, about Thomas Markle and Samantha Markle. The former is Meghan’s father, from whom she is mostly estranged and who lives in Mexico. Thomas missed his daughter’s wedding in May due to a heart condition and his involvement in a paparazzi photo scandal and has since ratcheted up his criticism of Meghan , saying she is ungrateful for his influence in her life and complaining (already) that he will never meet his grandchild. The guy sucks. Samantha Markle, meanwhile, is Meghan’s half-sister and she is totally estranged from Meghan. She is 17 years older than the Duchess; was not raised in the same household as her partial sibling; and barely knows Meghan at all. But she has still jumped on every media platform available over the past several months to bash the heck out of Markle every chance she gets. This woman really sucks. In light of Meghan and Harry’s major pregnancy news, however, both Thomas and Samantha has struck a more calm and rational tone. “It just makes everything that happened over the last year disappear,” Samantha said to The Sun this week of the baby bombshell, adding: “I want Meghan to be happy… and have peace. Everybody needs to be positive.” Naturally, of course, Samantha did manage to get a dig at her half-sister in there as well. “I would hope that – for the sake of the baby, the family, the world and my dad — that leaving him out of the statement was not intentional,” she continued. “I hope my dad is included and at a proper time. If he is excluded, I won’t be happy. It is in the best interests of the baby for my dad to be included.” The statement announcing Markle’s pregnancy was short and simple and didn’t mention any relatives at all. It simply read as follows: 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. In conclusion, Samantha really hammered home the point of how the unnamed child ought to have its grandfather in its life: “A baby changes everything and softens everyone. I would only hope that there would be some adjustment or some way of including him.” Thomas himself has not yet issued a comment. But a source close to the grandparent-to-be also spoke to The Sun and praised Meghan while simultaneously angling to, yes, be part of the kid’s life. “Thomas is absolutely delighted,” this insider says, adding: “He heard the news before it was made public and was overjoyed. He thinks Meghan will make a great mum as she is already so maternal. Thomas sees this as a chance to fix the problems between him, Meghan and Harry. “He is desperate to be there for his grandchild and wants to play an active role in their life.” View Slideshow: Meghan Markle Baby Bump Watch: Is She Showing Yet? Will Meghan let these awful human beings into her life again? Into her son or daughter’s life again? Will this ongoing scandal bring down the Royal Family? Stay tuned, folks. Meghan’s life is about to get far more cute and far more ugly at the same time.
