Prince Harry & Meghan Markle: Moving to Africa to Get Away From Will & Kate?!

Earlier this month, news of Prince William’s alleged affair with Rose Hanbury shocked royal-watchers the world over. This week, the dust has settled a bit, no doubt thanks in large part to William’s efforts to bury the story . In an almost unprecedented move, Will directed the full wrath of his legal team at UK media outlets who carried reports about the affair. But while Will may have had some success with keeping the story out of the press, he’s had less luck when it comes to mitigating the damage that this latest scandal has done to his family. Insiders say the royals are reeling amidst a full-blown feud between William and Harry. Already, Harry and Meghan have put a considerable amount of distance between themselves and the Cambridges by moving out of Kensington Palace and settling into Frogmore Cottage , nearly 25 miles away. Now, it looks like the Sussexes may be planning to go to even greater lengths to separate themselves from Will and Kate and all the messiness that’s currently throwing the London branch of the family into a state of disarray. Shocking as it may seem that they would be content to live so far from Harry’s family soon after welcoming their first child, it seems there actually might be some truth to reports of Harry and Meghan moving to Africa in 2020. If they go through with the move, no doubt many will view it as a bold rejection of the hollowness of royal life in London. When you live under the same roof as your brother, but you suddenly move 25 miles away before moving a continent away, there’s really only one way to interpret it. When all of that happens in the midst of an intense feud (Harry and William reportedly did not speak at all during this year’s Easter celebrations.), the truth of the situation is abundantly evident. But not surprisingly, the royals are already attempting to put a positive spin on the situation. An insider tells People magazine that Harry and Meghan may soon be “dispatched” to a foreign territory, while Will and Kate remain at home in preparation of one day ascending to the throne. “This is a 1000-year-old monarchy overseeing a Commonwealth of 54 territories. Lots of people depend on its existence and continued success,” a source tells the magazine. “Eventually Harry and Meghan will be dispatched somewhere.” The insider continues to pretend this is all part of the plan by claiming that Will and Kate are being kept home in London in order to prepare for life as king and queen. “William and Kate are completely in transition as he prepares to take over as the Prince of Wales,” the source adds. “Their life together is all about preparing to be in charge, which is a significant reason for the wall between them and Harry and Meghan.” Right. Will’s been “preparing to be in charge” his whole life, but it never impacted his relationship with Harry before. Just sayin’.

Maisie Williams Has Best Reaction Ever to Game of Thrones Sex Scene

Without any major battles scenes or surprising deaths on Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2 , viewers really had just one thing to which they could respond with shock and awe on Sunday night: Maisie Williams… got… naked! Kind of. Sort of. We didn’t really see any parts that were especiallty private when Williams, as the character of Arya Stark, stripped down to engage in her first-ever sexual experience with a truly stunned Gendry. The character figured she only had hours left to live, due to the impending arrival of the Night King’s army, and wanted to know what intercourse felt like before she was crossed off someone else’s list. A pretty understandable reaction to near-certain death, right? And the way Arya went about seducing Gendry (basically ordering him to take his clothes off and just do her already) was true to the strong woman she has become… … and yet a debate has been raging on the Internet over this sex scene. Was it empowering? Or was it uncomfortable and sort of gross ? Those who take the side of “Yech, disgusting!” are reacting that way because Williams started on Game of Thrones when she was 14. We met Arya when the character was 11. So Arya is 18 years old now (of consenting age, we presume, in Westeros) and Williams is 22. Neither age is really too young for sex, yet many social media users have been complaining all week that the scene was “weird” or “uncalled for.” (These same people have been oddly silent about all the incest on the series. But let’s not digress too far here.) Clearly aware of the backlash online, the actress took to Twitter on Tuesday and put an end to it as follows. This is what she wrote: “if u feel uncomfortable just know that my mother and my step dad and my 2 sisters and my 4 brothers have all probably watched this too ahahakillmeehehe.” HA! We love it. Previously, Williams admitted in an interview that she thought the Arya sex scene was written as a “prank” when she first read it in the script. But it was obviously very real. Said the star to Entertainment Weekly after the episode aired: “This is something she’s stayed away from, an emotion we’ve never really seen her engage with. [The series creators] were like, ‘It’s the end of the world, what else would you have her do?’ “This may be is a moment where Arya accepts death tomorrow, which she never does… “So, it was that moment where she says, ‘We’re probably going to die tomorrow, I want to know what this feels like before that happens.’ “It’s interesting to see Arya be a bit more human, speak more normally about things people are scared of.” As you can see below, meanwhile, Williams’ best friend on the show, Sophie Turner, definitely saw no problem at all with the scene: Sophie Turner on Maisie Williams Sex Scene We repeat: HA! “In honor of Easter, I guess Game of Thrones wanted the storyline to have a little Easter bunny hop-hop-hopping into that pussy. And that’s the tea,” Turner says in the above video, punctuating the line with a sip of wine. Truly amazing. The question now turns to whether Arya will survive the battle on Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 . We’ve listed her odds for doing so below: View Slideshow: Game of Thrones: Who’s About to Die!?

The One Story: Black Women Are Working To Eliminate The Racial Stigma Of Marijuana

See the article here:

O ne important yet unsung aspect of the legal cannabis industry is changing the conversation around how Black people are viewed within the larger marijuana context. “People genuinely use cannabis to have a better quality of life,” said Hope Wiseman, founder and owner of the Mary & Main medical marijuana dispensary in Maryland, citing the plant’s effective use following chemotherapy as a prime example. The stigma of the plant has largely been overshadowed by its purpose, which, contrary to popular belief, is not just to get stoned. Marijuana propaganda combined with unbalanced media coverage over the years has for many people distorted marijuana’s therapeutical benefits. Much of that is explained to patients as they navigate the complicated process to legally gain access to dispensaries and buy “cannabis products that have been tested and effective for their conditions,” Melinda Toussaint, co-owner of MariCare Wellness in Maryland and a family nurse practitioner, said. Watch the third installment of The One Story’s video about women and weed to find out more how Black women are among the leaders in the marijuana industry to end the racial stigma associated with non-whites and cannabis.

Kanye West Takes His Sunday Service Congregation To Coachella

Ever since co-signing Donald Trump’s MAGA madness that’s been tearing away at the fabric that is our democracy and turning political norms on it’s head, Kanye West has been making some interesting choices, including starting a weekly Sunday service in which he and his congregation praise the Lord in Yeezy fashion. Naturally, the service is an exclusive affair and held at a secret location in LA. So when it was announced that Kanye would be taking his choir with him to Coachella to give the crowd a spiritual experience, we didn’t know what to expect but it has happened and of course, it was something to behold. Taking to a hilltop stage at a camping area of the festival, Kanye’s set began at nine in the morning, but Yeezus himself didn’t take to the mic until two hours later where he set things off with his ’04 classic cut “All Falls Down” before eventually debuting his new spiritually moving track “Water.” Rocking a new Easter-egg lavender colored wig piece and purple church getup, Ye rocked the crowd as only he can and gave attendees a show they’ll soon not forget. Featuring guests like DMX, Chance The Rapper and Kid Cudi, Kanye’s set was filled with all kinds of surprises including an overwhelmed Yeezy getting all in his emotions and shedding tears. Powerful.

Sri Lanka Attacks: Death Toll Rises After Bombings To Hotel & Churches On Easter

The Duggars Call Easter a Different Name and Celebrate in Weird Duggar Fashion

On Sunday, millions of Americans gathered with loved ones to celebrate the resurrection of a towering figure who many believe to be the foretold savior of mankind. We’re talking, of course, about Jon Snow. But in addition to one of the final Game of Thrones nights, yesterday was also significant because it was Easter … or as the Duggars call it, Resurrection Day. Yes, the Duggars like to keep the focus on JC during their holiday festivities (and during everything else they do in life, to be honest). And so, Easter becomes Resurrection Day and Christmas is Jesus’ birthday. (We’re pretty sure their kids would have gotten the point of the celebration without the name change, but whatever floats your ark.) Anyway, Michelle spoke about the family’s celebration in 2014, just months before the Josh Duggar sex scandals led to the cancelation of her first reality show, 19 Kids and Counting. “We call it ‘Resurrection Day’ because we really want to make the focus and emphasis on the fact that it’s the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” Michelle explained at the time. It seems that in most ways, the Duggar festivities resemble those you would find in many homes across America. “We sing songs, we draw pictures of the cross, and we make cookies,” the mother of 19 added. “We will make cookies and decorate them, and then we memorize little verses,” she adds. Okay, so Easter isn’t really a cookie-baking, song-singing occasion for most of us, but the whole thing sounds pretty normal by Duggar standards … until you get to the pickles. Apparently, each of the Duggar children gets a jar of pickles in their Easter basket. “The Duggars love pickles. I think it probably started that when my mom is pregnant she craves pickles, that is the one thing,” Jessa Duggar once told In Touch . “Every time we see her eating pickles we say ‘Are you pregnant?’”  It gets weirder. Joy-Anna revealed that when a Duggar takes his or her first bite of a pickle, it’s considered a monumental event. “Any time a family member tries a pickle for the first time, we always go around and take videos and pictures and everyone comes around to watch their facial expression,” she said. Oof. We’re sure Freud would have a field day with a family who’s so uptight about sex being obsessed with pickles, but we’re gonna leave it alone.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Actually Moving to Africa?!?

There’s just a whole lot going on with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle these days. First and foremost, of course, the Royal Couple is awaiting the birth of its first child. According to multiple reports, Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, has touched down in London in anticipation of this blessed event. It really may take place any day now. But celebrity gossip followers and Royal Family supporters are already looking ahead. Yes, they’re curious about the gender of this baby and they are oh so VERY curious about the name Henry and Meghan will choose. However, there’s now cause to be concerned about what the Prince and his Duchess will do after they become first-time parents.  Namely: Might they move? To Africa?!?!?!? In yesterday’s edition of The Sunday Times in Great Britain, Tim Shipman and Roya Nikkhah write that “Courtiers have drawn up plans to hand the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a major international job that could see them moving abroad after the birth of their child.” An insider then explained to this publication just where Markle and Harry could be headed: “Discussions are at an early stage, but the plan is to find a new way of using their soft power abilities, most likely in Africa.” Interesting, right? And also: Unprecedented if it happens. Harry and Meghan recently made news when they picked up and relocated from Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace and into Frogmore Cottage, their new home near Windsor Castle. Did they do so due to an alleged feud with Prince William and Kate Middleton? Or because they wanted to raise their little boy or girl outside the bustlign city? We may never know for certain. The Times now reports, though, that a more long-term and signigicant moving decision may be on the horizon — but not “until 2020 when they have settled down with their new baby, which is due within days.” Harry and Meghan notably traveled to Botswana together early on in their relationship in 2017. Both halves of the famous twosome have dedicated their time and resources to charity work in the region. So this rumor isn’t completely out of nowhere, not in terms of the couple’s shared interests. But it would rock Great Britain to its core, considering the importance placed there on the Royal Family and the seemingly giant EFF YOU it would be from Harry and Meghan to actually live on another continent. Perhaps most surprising of all, Buckingham Palace issued a statement over the weekend in response to the Times article… and did not deny the reports that Harry and Meghan could move away from the U.K. at some point down the line. “Any future plans for The Duke and Duchess are speculative at this stage. No decisions have been taken about future roles,” reads this statement, which concludes: “The Duke will continue to fulfill his role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.” Fans must now wonder if it would really be all that shocking for Markle and Harry to go through with this move. The Duchess has been trashed left and right for months by the British press and chatter over a rivalry between Markle/Harry and William/Kate continue to persist, despite an apparent lack of evidence. “The wives don’t get on. The brothers have fallen out,” says a source. “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.” Will she soon get her husband to move very far away from his native country? Stay tuned to find out!
