We have huge news regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, readers. No, however, it isn’t that huge news regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. But we are getting closer and closer to the truly big one… Before the Royal Baby enters the world, however, Harry and Meghan have officially moved into the home where their impending child will be raised. The famous parents-to-be now reside into their newly renovated home, Frogmore Cottage, which is located on the Frogmore Estate in Berkshire. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are expecting their first child any week now, were initially revealed to be leaving their two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace in London last November. The decision took many observers by surprised and fueled talk about a Markle and Kate Middleton feud . There was an assumption as the time that Markle simply had to get as far away from her rival as possible. Is this really the case? We’ll likely never know. It’s equally conceivable that the couple simply wants their son or daughter to grow up outside the busy city of London. “Windsor is a very special place for their royal highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate,” Kensington Palace simply said in a statement last fall. Last month, in anticipation of Markle giving birth, the formation of a new household for Harry and Meghan was also confirmed, putting an end to the joint household the prince shared with older brother Prince William at Kensington Palace. This is technical Royal Family stuff, but it’s important to those who are interested in the lives of Harry, William and their wives. “The Queen has agreed to the creation of a new household for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, following their marriage in May last year. The Household, which will be created with the support of the Queen and the Prince of Wales, will be established in the spring,” a royal statement announced a couple weeks ago. It continued: “The Duke of Sussex currently has his own private office, which has been supporting the Duchess since Their Royal Highnesses engagement in November 2017. “This long-planned move will ensure that permanent support arrangements for the Duke and Duchess’ work are in place as they start their family and move to their official residence at Frogmore Cottage.” Frogmore Cottage, of course, is not really a cottage in any traditional sense. It has 10 bedrooms, for example. It was gifted to Harry and his wife by Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and is very nearby from the queen’s Windsor Castle, where the superstars are expected to spend Easter Sunday. There’s also plenty of room here for Markle’s mother to feel comfortable, as she’s expected to stick around for awhile after her grandchild is born. She is not expected to move permanently into the estate, however; neither is Markle’s attention-starved father or insult-hurling step-sister. They both suck and will hopefully never receive an invite to the home. At this point, meanwhile, Markle is on maternity leave and is not expected to be out and about in public very much. All we can really do is sit back and debate potential baby names while we await the momentous occasion. Oh, and we can also follow Harry and Meghan on social media ! “Welcome to our official Instagram,” the couple captioned their first Instagram post this week, concluding: “We look forward to sharing the work that drives us, the causes we support, important announcements, and the opportunity to shine a light on key issues. We thank you for your support, and welcome you to @sussexroyal.” View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess

Source: Prince Williams / Getty “Bad Girl’s Club” Star Shannade Clermont Facing Sentencing For Assuming Identity Of Dead Man From “Prostitution Date” The federal government said reality and social media star Shannade Clermont deserves up to 18 months in the fed after her greed prompted her to steal from a dead man in a quest for Insta-fame. In a letter to the judge, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sagar Ravi pushed for the Yeezy model to serve 12 to 18 months behind bars because of the seriousness of her fraud and identity theft, noting that the prison term will send a message to others not to do the same thing. Ravi also said the public needs to be protected from her. “Plain and simple, this was a crime of opportunity – a crime the defendant committed out of greed to maintain the image she sought to portray on social media,” Ravi’s letter to the judge – which was obtained by BOSSIP – states. Yesterday, we revealed that Clermont’s lawyer had begged the judge for mercy for his client, claiming that she stole only because of extreme financial hardship and even started a foundation to help people struggling with mental illness. Source: Candids By K / Courtesy But Ravi called BS on Clermont’s assertions, saying that her purchases like $427 Valentino shoes, a $310 Phillip Plein jacket, $230 Beats headphones and $250 at a beauty salon don’t exactly scream poverty. The federal attorney also pointed out that Clermont started the foundation only after she pled guilty and was facing sentencing. Last November, Clermont pled guilty to one count of wire fraud, admitting she’d stolen the debit card information of a man was paid to spend time with who later died, racking up more than $22,000 in fraudulent charges. She also admitted that she later stole her victim’s identity in order to try to wire $1,000 to herself. Ravi also revealed details of the night of what he called her “prostitution date” with the unnamed victim. Using the name “Audrey,” Ravi said Clermont spent three hours with the man, who was found dead the next morning alongside a broken used condom, baggies of coke and a fentanyl pill. Clermont has maintained that her victim just passed out on the bed and she stole his card details and left. Clermont is scheduled to be sentenced next week in Manhattan Federal Court.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Yeah, no one is surprised. Troubled Love & Hip Hop star Tommie Lee is back in jail after making an appearance in court, where she was allegedly drunk. Yes, that would be a parole violation. Reports TMZ : The former ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star showed up to court last week in Cobb County, GA for a hearing in her child abuse criminal case. Law enforcement sources tell us she appeared to be intoxicated — so much so the judge ordered her to undergo drug and alcohol testing immediately. Spoiler alert — the new mug shot was also a dead giveaway — but she failed. We’re told Tommie’s BAC was 0.16 … twice the legal limit, and a violation of her bond. Tommie was arrested on the spot, and no bail’s been set yet. You’ll recall … Tommie was trying to get approval to move to Cali for work while she was out on bond, but a judge shot her down … citing her long rap sheet as the reason. She’s currently facing multiple charges of child abuse for her October 2018 arrest. You’ll recall … Tommie was trying to get approval to move to Cali for work while she was out on bond, but a judge shot her down … citing her long rap sheet as the reason. She’s currently facing multiple charges of child abuse for her October 2018 arrest. You really can’t make up this type of struggle on your best day. She’s reportedly looking at 54 years in jail if she is found guilty on all the charges she is facing. We hope Tommie Lee gets the help she needs for the sake of her kid. — Photo: Getty
On this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City , Bethenny revealed a huge secret about the late Dennis Shields. Her tensions with Ramona were also on display, but fans can’t stop thinking about something Ramona had said. She had majorly insulted Dennis over his drug use. Now, Ramona is apologizing publicly and profusely. “How smart can Dennis be?” viewers heard Ramona ask rhetorically in footage from this season of The Real Housewives of New York City . To make matters worse, she said: “I mean, he was on drugs.” To be absolutely clear, this scene was filmed before Dennis Shields passed away last year. In fact, it was reportedly filmed three weeks before his tragic death. Viewers recoiled when she said that — and, in hindsight, so does Ramona. To say that Ramona regrets her words is an understatement. Taking to her Instagram Stories ahead of Wednesday’s episode, “I cringed when I saw what I said about Dennis in tonight’s episode,” Ramona’s heartfelt post begins. She freely admits: “It definitely wasn’t one of my finer moments.” “I respected and liked him very much,” Ramona affirms. Sometimes, people make cutting remarks about people whom they respect — especially when they are on camera and are aiming for a reaction. “And,” she adds. “I sincerely apologize to his family and Bethenny for my thoughtless comments.” That is a good apology, neither making it all about her nor understating how cruel the statement was. To be clear, it was an unkind statement even before Shields’ death. Addiction is not a measure of intelligence. In a recent post on Twitter, Bethenny reflected upon the nature of grief. “Mourning is tricky business,” Bethenny acknowledged at the beginning of her tweet. “It’s like the weather,” she observed. Bethenny explains her analogy: “There can be weeks & weeks of sunshine then one day you get whacked with a storm.” She is absolutely right. Certain stories, photographs, songs, and scents can bring all of that grief crashing down yet again. Shortly after Shields’ tragic passing, Bethenny shared her feelings at the time as she was overwhelmed with loss. “It’s hard to breathe & I appreciate you giving me the space & support to try to do so,” she wrote on social media. “It’s excruciating-sudden death is no closure & constant ?s & memories,” she shared. None of us are at our best when we are deep in mourning. “Our relationship is current so it’s painfully raw,” she revealed. Bethenny concluded by saying that she was “Trying to stay healthy & move through it w tears & close friends.” Bethenny is widely beloved, but she can be controversial at times. It goes with the territory when you’re a Real Housewife. But any feuds or petty arguments can and must be set aside when someone is dealing with real, personal pain. The worst reality stars are the ones who don’t know when to quit and back off. Ramona admitted in a recent episode to having “tension” with Bethenny, but she has her limits. We’re sure that she’d give anything to take back that offhand remark from last year.
We’re just weeks away from Meghan Markle’s due date , and all over the globe, royal watchers are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new prince or princess. Of course, no one is more excited than the residents of Frogmore Cottage, the whimsical-sounding estate that Meg and Prince Harry currently call home. It’s surely a joyous but rather anxious time for the royals, as Meghan and Harry prepare to welcome their first child. Insiders say Meghan is in final preparation mode, and it’s all hands on deck as the big day draws near. Obviously, Meg and Harry aren’t residing at Frogmore by themselves, and a cadre of assistants, secretaries, and nannies-in-waiting are close at hand whether the royal couple is at home, or at their offices in Kensington Palace. And it seems that arrangement is causing a good deal of fretting among the royals at the moment. We’ve discussed the Duchess of Sussex’s staffing difficulties at length in the past. There’s been talk of Meghan bullying staff until they quit, and while that seemingly ridiculous claim remains unverified, there’s no denying that Meg has lost several close advisors in recent months. She’s soon to lose another, too, as Samantha Cohen has announced that she’ll be leaving the duchess’ service shortly after the arrival of Meghan’s baby. The announcement came just weeks after another one of Meghan’s advisors, Melissa Toubati, left her post abruptly. At this point, Meghan’s staff is largely temporary, and the revolving door nature of her personnel practices is reportedly raising concerns around Buckingham Palace. “There are so many open positions in all sorts of places at the palace that one slip-up in a background check or an interview could prove disastrous,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online “Meghan basically has no close staff left, just before the birth of her child,” the insider adds. “It’s causing her huge stress.” In addition to concerns about being under-staffed, the need to hire several new employees in a hurry is raising security fears. The royals have issued a statement indicating that all new hires will be subjected to “criminal records checks and inquiries regarding the right to work in the U.K.” but one former security adviser to the royals thinks the current precautions are downright laughable “It simply won’t deter serious criminals, stalkers or international terrorists highly skilled at faking backgrounds,” he tells Radar. “The irony of trying to recruit someone to monitor this abuse is that the candidate could fake a background and end up being far more dangerous than a troll.” The expert warns that the royals’ high turnover rate has made them “sitting ducks,” despite recent increases in security. “The royals have improved their aggressive approach in uncovering potential dangers,” an insider said. “But it only takes one mistake and history could be changed forever.” Nothing like a little crippling anxiety as you prepare to welcome a new baby!
