Meghan Markle vs. Camilla Parker Bowles: Royal Feud Alert!

When Meghan Markle reached out to British sex workers last month, the gesture was likened to past philanthropic campaigns spearheaded by her mother-in-law Camilla Parker Bowles. Like Meghan, Camilla prides herself on championing causes that other public figures prefer to look away from. So when Meghan made it clear that she intends to focus on less photo-op-friendly causes like addiction, mental health, and the dangers faced by sex workers, it was widely assumed that she and Camilla enjoy a close relationship with a foundation of shared values. But according to a new report from Radar Online, that’s very much not the case . As you’re likely aware, Meghan is feuding with just about everyone these days. The reports of the Duchess of Sussex locking horns with Kate Middleton have gained the most tabloid traction, but there have also been reports of Meghan feuding with Prince William , Prince Charles, and just about everyone else in the Royal Family, with the possible exception of the Queen. Now, it seems Camilla can be added to Meg’s ever-growing enemies list. And according to Radar, this feud is getting uglier by the day. “The drama with Meghan and Kate is nothing compared to what’s going on with Camilla,” an insider tells the site. “Camilla doesn’t really talk to Meghan,” the source adds. “She is snobbiest and least friendly.” Apparently, Camilla’s complaints are the same as the other royal traditionalists who think Meg’s not deserving of her title. Bowles reportedly doesn’t like that Meghan is American, a former actress, and famously headstrong. (There have been widespread reports that Meg is being treated unfairly by so many Brits due to her race, but we’ll leave that speculation for another time.) “Camilla even told her ‘this is real life and you’re not an actress playing a role,’” says one tipster. “Meghan has tried everything to get Camilla to warm up to her and nothing has worked. “She wants to be close to her, but Camilla isn’t allowing it.” As Charles’ second wife after Princess Di, Camilla is certainly accustomed to being treated unfairly by the British press. One would think that she and Meg would be able to bond over that shared experience. But apparently, Camilla’s the type of bully who likes to pay it forward.

Meghan Markle Uses Bananas to Inspire Prostitutes

You might think that royal life is all high tea and beheadings, but it turns out there’s real work involved, and the penalty for choosing not to participate is a stern finger-wagging from the peasants. Okay, so it’s not as severe as the consequences you would face if you decided to stop showing up for work, but the idea of being nationally shamed for your laziness would probably be enough to get your arse off the throne from time to time. Obviously, we kid the Royals only because our forefathers fought a very fancy war with drums and ponytails to secure that right for us. Anyway, we’re sure quite a few of them take real pride in their community outreach work and are motivated by more than just the fear of a withering glare from the Queen during the traditional St. Reginald Day feast of blood pudding and silence. Meghan Markle, for example, has reportedly thrown herself into her work in a way that few royals in recent history could match. Her devotion to bettering the lives of the most marginalized Brits has earned comparisons to Prince Charles’ wife, Camilla Parker Bowles Camilla is widely admired for her willingness to take on less photo-op-friendly causes, such as mental health, addiction treatment, and racial justice. Now, it seems Meg is following in her mum-in-law’s footsteps by reaching out to at-risk communities that many might prefer to ignore. Meghan Markle: Bananas For Prostitutes That’s Meghan writing inspirational slogans on bananas at One25 — an organization that reaches out to sex workers in the Bristol region. “I saw this project this woman had started somewhere in the States on a school lunch program,” Meghan told reporters. “On each of the bananas she wrote an affirmation, to make the kids feel really, like, empowered. It was the most incredible idea – this small gesture.”  In the video above, Meg can be heard to remark: “I am in charge of the banana messaging.” She proceeded to adorn each nanner with a special message such as: “You are special,” “You are strong,” “You are brave” and “You are loved.” Each one was reportedly adorned with “a tiny heart.” “That really touched me — and I’m not even a royalist,” One25 CEO Anna Smith told reporters. “She had clearly listened and heard what we are all about — that we don’t judge, we simply offer the service and unconditional love. She totally got it.” You’re not alone, Anna. Our cynical American hearts are touched AF over here. The official statement from Kensington Palace describes the organization thusly: “One25 in Bristol – a charity that helps women break free from street sex work, addiction and other life-controlling issues, through practical and emotional support.” So while the situation is rife with potential for cheap jokes about bananas and prostitutes, Meghan’s work with One25 is actually quite admirable. After all, charity work isn’t all homeless puppies and bake sales. Hopefully, Meghan’s example will serve to remind millions that addicts and sex workers are human beings, too. And hopefully, the British tabloid press will be inspired to focus more on Meghan’s charity work and less on her feud with Kate Middleton . We kid, of course — that will never happen.

Meghan Markle: Distressed Over Bullying By Online Trolls

Officially , Meghan Markle deleted her Instagram when her relationship with Prince Harry started to get serious. Smart move, as exchanging social media for a royal title is objectively a pretty sweet deal, especially as the internet seems to become more of a cesspool of narcissism and bigotry every day. But Meghan went from a relatively unknown actress to one of the most famous women on the planet overnight, so she must be curious as to what the trolls and sycophants of the world wide web have to say about her. Thus, it’s easy to believe the rumors of Meghan’s secret Instagram account . And it’s also easy to believe the hate directed at her online by anonymous dingbats quickly became too much for the Duchess to handle. “With so much drama surrounding her, Meghan really wants to know what everyone actually thinks of her,” an insider tells Radar Online of Meghan’s lurker account. In the years prior to her relationship with Harry, Meghan was actually quite active on the ‘Gram, and her account was closely linked to her Goop-esque lifestyle site, The Tig. So Meg is no stranger to what nasty places comments sections can be. The source reveals that for now at least, Meghan has parted ways with social media. The reason? It seems she was simply appalled by the horrendous things people were saying about her online. “It really got to her and, in the end, she had to shut down that account just before Christmas, too, to protect her mental health,” says the insider . “She felt very isolated and alone.” Now Meghan has been called a “fat lady” to her face while pregnant, and she’s been suffering the slings and arrows of the notorious British tabloid press for two years now. She’s no thin-skinned wimp, is what we’re saying. So the stuff Meghan read about herself that caused her to shut down her account must have been pretty awful. Apparently, some of it was so bad that it led Meghan to fear for her safety. “She doesn’t feel safe enough to go out on her own without protection,” says the source. “There are certain things she’s extremely paranoid about, such as being physically attacked.” Dammit, internet. This is why we can’t have nice things. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!

Jenelle Evans Gives Son a Gun for Christmas. Seriously.

Jenelle Evans will never, ever learn. “What won’t she learn?” you may be wondering to yourself, if you’re not overly familiar with Jenelle Evans. The answer, dear friends, is “literally anything.” Jenelle has been acting a fool on television for years and years at this point, and while she does change from time to time, she never gets better. Back in the day, she smoked too much weed and ditched her son, Jace, with her mother, who she treated like garbage. After that, she got into several abusive relationships and developed an addiction to heroin. She had another kid, Kaiser, with another jackass, even though she still hadn’t gotten back custody of Jace. And when that relationship went south, as they always do, she hooked up with David Eason shortly after, and now here we are. In the darkest of times. Since she’s been with David, she’s slowly turned into a gun-loving Trump supporter with aggression problems and a knack for picking fights at any given opportunity . So basically, she’s turned into David. The problem is that David himself has been getting worse and worse as time goes on. When he and Jenelle started dating, he was a lot like her previous guys — he had a couple of restraining orders against him, and he’d spent some time in the local jail. But now he’s he’s being investigated by the Secret Service for seemingly threatening the president’s life, so … There was a bit of a jump there, yeah. See, so much of David and Jenelle’s descent into madness has had to do with guns. The Secret Service mess, that time she nearly got herself killed by following a stranger home and pulling a gun on him because of road rage … The list goes on, but boy, do these people not know how to be responsible gun owners. And that’s why a lot of people don’t really love the fact that they gave Jace a gun for Christmas. Yeah, it’s a toy gun, and that’s a lot better than getting him an assault rifle just like his stepdaddy’s . Lots of kids have toy guns, but lots of kids don’t have David Eason as a parental figure, you know? But in addition to gifting the toy gun, David also shared a video of Jace shooting a real gun on Snapchat yesterday. For Teen Mom fans, none of these things are good ideas. Over on Twitter, one person wrote that she was “concerned” that everything that’s been going on “is going to give Jace ideas on how they might become proud of him if he does something with these guns.” “Don’t get me wrong, I’m pro gun, but under the right circumstances,” another person said. “These are NOT the right circumstances.” “I could see when J & D get in a huge fight, Jace going to get one of David’s guns, loading it and shooting David to protect Jenelle.” Someone else tweeted “If I was Barb I would not let Jace go over and I’d take it to court, she has primary custody & gets to make the decision if he can handle a gun or not.” “David is not stable and I’m sorry but Jace has to have psychological issues going on with all this sh-t in his life.” There are tons and tons of concerns with pretty much everything going on in Jenelle’s home, but this really is a huge one. Even if Barbara, who does have full custody of Jace , is fine with him shooting guns and playing with toy guns, it’s sort of surprising she’s not taking action after the whole Secret Service mess. View Slideshow: Teen Mom 2 Trailer: Jenelle Evans’ Marriage Implodes, Leah Finds Love, Adam Still Sucks & Much More!! Let’s just … let’s just hope for the best for this poor kid, OK? With the parents he has, he’s going need all the well wishes he can get.

Prince William May Have Royally Dissed Meghan Markle on Christmas

As it turns out, we may have had our eye on the wrong set of eyes this past Christmas morning. During the Walk Watched and Analyzed Around the World early Tuesday, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton strolled side by side into a church in Sandringham. It was the first time the public saw the dueling Duchesses out and about together since rumors of their rivalry started to run rampant around the Internet. Did they talk trash to one another? Did they air all their grievances? Did they laugh about all this silly and false chatter? We don’t know, we don’t know and we don’t know. You can analyze the facial expressions on both members of the Royal Family during this awkward outing below: View Slideshow: Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton Attend Church on Christmas: See! We’re Totally Best Friends! But now we’ve learned that Kate may have been perfectly cordial to Markle as they strolled toward their destination on Christmas. Her husband, however? Well… At one point, according to an Instagram user who filmed an interaction between William and Meghan, the latter attempted to talk to her brother-in-law. But William was having no part of it. He “seemingly ignored her [and] tried to fix his scarf,” writes OK! Weekly, which adds that “Meghan turned away with a hurt look on her face and she took the hand of her husband, Prince Harry” in response to the diss. Ouch . Fans took note of this tension-filled non-exchange and commented on the video mentioned above. “William does not want to talk with Meghan. He looked at her so strangely (contemptuously). I even felt sorry for Megan,” remarked one individual. Added another: “It is just sad to see division between them. They have always had each other’s back.” Truth be told, this is not the first time we heard of a rift between William and Meghan . According to a Daily Mail report in early December, Prince Charles arranged for a gathering at his home about a year ago, during which time William voiced his concerns about his brother marrying Markle. This allegedly led to a “ghastly row” between the famous quartet of Willam, Harry, Kate and Meghan. Elsewhere, there’s also been talk that Harry and William are at odds because William has never fulled embraced Harry’s wife. And he’s never been shy about this disdain, either. “Other members of the royal family also expressed their unease about their relationship,” said an Entertainment Tonight source a few weeks ago, adding: “But Harry was steadfast and absolutely besotted with Meghan.” That’s good at least. We’re glad Harry is standing up for his better half. The question now is whether the forthcoming Royal Baby will make things better… or worse? Will it bring everyone togther and make them realize they’ve been acting petty? Or will a new life simply stir up more tension and hard feelings between all involved? Do you know what will tell, readers? Only time. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!

Prince William May Have Royally Dissed Meghan Markle on Christmas

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle: Look! Here’s PROOF We Don’t Despise Each Other!

Feud, schmeud. Rivalry, schmialry. Bad blood, schmad slood. We think you get the annoying point. But just to get a lot more specific and far less irritating: In the face of ongoing rumors that they totally hate each other and refuse to be in the same room together, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have changed their holiday plans. Instead of the former and Prince William spending Christman with the Middletons in Bucklebury, People Magazine has confirmed that they’ll join the rest of the Royal Family in Norfolk with the Queen at Sandringham.  This includes, of course, Markle and Prince Harry. Quick! Someone prepare the Royal Boxing Gloves! As you very likely have heard about by now, Middleton and Markle do not get along. Allegedly. According to one recent report, Markle actually made Kate cry this past spring when Middleton was expecting her third baby and her figure was therefore not in pristine condition… … and yet Markle pressured her and bullied her during a dress fitting for her wedding to Harry. Could this be why Markle and Harry are moving far away from Kensington Palace? Yes, many Internet users believe. Per People Magazine, William and Kate will stay at their nearby resident of Anmer Hall with kids Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 3, and 7-month-old Prince Louis for the upcoming holiday. The specifics on where Harry and Meghan are staying haven’t been provided “at this stage,” an insider tells the publication . Needless to write, however, considering that Harry and Meghan only just got married in May, this will be the first Christmas the Princess and the Duchesses all spend together as husbands and wives. What could go wrong?!? Typically, William and Kate alternative between spending this time of year with his loved ones and with her loved ones. They had been scheduled to hit up the Middletons this year, with Kate’s mom, Carole, recently talking about preparing the house for her grandchildren in her first-ever interview. She said that she likes to have as many Christmas trees as possible in her house, including one for each of her grandchildren’s rooms “so that they can decorate it themselves.” How sweet. And now, sadly, how fruitless. We continue to write about the supposed tension between Markle and Middleton, but we do wish to reiterate that we cannot confirm its validity. However, it is worth noting that Kensington Palace took the VERY unusual step of commenting on a story in The Sun last week. After that British newspaper reported on an argument between Kate and Meghan shortly before the latter’s nuptials on May 19, Royal sources responded and said the claim simply doesn’t have merit. ” This never happened ,” the Palace has now said of the alleged fight. Sure. Whatever you say, Palace. What WILL happen now, though, is Meghan and Kate spending Christmas as a family and every single person on the planet studying their faces to see just how real or fake their smiles look.

George & Amal Clooney: Future Godparents to Meghan Markle’s Baby?!

As you’ve likely heard by now, Meghan Markle is pregnant with her first child. Meghan, of course, is in the unique position of having climbed the ladder from basic cable D-lister to international icon in record time, so the eyes of the world are squarely on her growing baby bump. Meghan has reached that level of fame at which people place bets on things like whether or not she’ll have twins and what the baby (or babies) will be named. One mystery that’s attracted a lot of attention in recent weeks is the question of who Meghan and Harry will choose as the baby’s godparents. Naturally, there’s been lots of speculation and a fair bit of wagering, with most concluding that the godparents will be celebrities. Meghan hob-nobs with the global elite these days, so it’s widely assumed that she and Harry will choose some sort of public figures as the godparents. And one couple has become the odds-on favorites to receive the honor. Sources close to Duke and Duchess of Sussex say that while they haven’t made the selection official yet, Harry and Meghan have decided to ask George and Amal Clooney to do the honors. “Amal and Meghan have been close for years, and Harry and George have become buddies because of that,” one insider tells the Daily Mail. “They’re much closer than the headlines let on.” While the offer hasn’t been extended yet, sources say George and Amal have heard the rumors and are looking forward to speaking with Harry and Meghan.  Apparently, George has even “told a couple of people he has a strong hunch.”  The Clooneys are parents of twins, and news that they’ll serve as godparents has bolstered rumors that Meghan is expecting twins as well. In fact, that’s now considered such a strong possibility that the Irish bookmakers who have hosted the majority of the wagering on Meghan’s pregnancy have stopped accepting bets that she’ll have twins. “An unprecedented amount of bets on Meghan and Harry to have twins has forced us to stop taking bets on the market altogether,” a spokesperson for Paddy Power told Us Weekly in a statement. “Since the day began, the stream of bets has led us to believe that perhaps the punters — or an insider source — knows something more than we do.” So if you can find a bookie who will let you bet that Meghan will have twins and the Clooneys will be the godparents, jump on that! Why should Meghan and Harry be the only ones expecting joyous news? View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!
