Whether you watched the wedding or not, some image from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s holy union has found a way to embed itself in your brain. Media coverage was inescapable, and Twitter will be reminding me of Harry’s lip bite for all eternity. The Royal Family, however, is choosing to document the day in a far…
The American woman formerly known as Meghan Markle and currently known as the Duchess of Sussex officially joined Great Britain’s Royal Family on Saturday (an event our own Kelly Faircloth covered extensively) and was quickly given her own piece of real estate on royal.uk. But after reading every word of the…
The Duchess of Sussex (!!!) made feminist waves this weekend by walking herself down the aisle at a royal wedding, a feat that should not be particularly newsworthy in 2018, but in Royal Family years it’s still approximately 1903, so. Decades before #AisleGate, though, tween Meghan Markle fought a slightly smaller,…
Windsor—What does it take to get the perfect shot of the newly married Harry and Meghan from the cheap seats? Turns out it’s a £25 fleece Union Jack blanket, three pairs of socks, four cups of wildly overpriced coffee, and the kindness of several royal enthusiast strangers.
In the approximate 2.6 billion years since Harry and Meghan announced their engagement by matching beaded bracelets from their trip to Botswana where they spent five days camping out together above the Boteti River–facts I know–I have learned more about Meghan Markle than I know about my own medical history. I know…
As previously reported, Meghan and Harry’s royal wedding sermon, delivered by American Bishop Michael Curry, brought American black culture to the fore of an aging, all-white, and fairly racist monarchical structure. Another truly moving force was the British gospel choir Karen Gibson and the Kingdom Choir, who sang…
Even from this side of the pond, racism surrounding the royal wedding has sounded loud and clear, from Princess Michael’s decision to wear a “Blackamoor” black servant brooch to meet Meghan to British tabloids’ incessant, unprompted mentions of Meghan Markle’s race, using references like “straight outta Compton,” and…
When Meghan Markle announced that her father would not be attending her demented, vaguely Brexit-themed amusement park ride on Saturday, the good money was on her mother, Doria Ragland, taking over and walking Markle down the aisle. But those odds were shattered into a million pieces by the combined forces of the…
After days of contradictory TMZ push alerts regarding her father Thomas’s health and status as a Royal Wedding guest, Meghan Markle has officially announced that the 73-year-old will not be attending Saturday’s festivities in order to “focus on his health.”
London—As somebody whose long-running fascinations include fairy tales, romance novels, and the stubborn persistence of monarchy, how could I possibly miss the opportunity to get as close as possible to that rarest of birds: a real, live American princess?
When clicking a headline about Meghan Markle’s bridal party reveal I was expecting to see names like Quantico star Priyanka Chopra, her bff whose job escapes me Jessica Mulroney, and [DO SOME MINIMAL RESEARCH AND INSERT SUITS STAR HERE], but that is because I am an idiot who forgot that royal weddings are wack as…
There are some 90 hours left until Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tie the knot in Westminster Abbey, and this week’s news that the bride’s ailing father, Thomas, suddenly decided not to attend has reportedly thrown the previously happy couple—as well as the Royal Family at large—into full-blown chaos mode.
Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas, is reportedly returning to the hospital on account of some chest pains he’s attributing to emotional distress. He already had one heart attack less than a week ago, and now, he thinks it’s going to happen again. From TMZ:
As May 19 approaches, the royal wedding news cycle is accelerating as relentlessly as the Gravitron at a county fair, its centrifugal force damn near flinging my brains onto the ceiling. Today we learn that Meghan Markle is related to a man alleged to be Jack the Ripper, and also that her father may not be attending…
Gossip junkies be not proud. Nor is Meghan Markle’s father, so here we are, slathering over this sweet sweet scandal porn, grainy CCTV images proving–PROVING!!!!–that Meghan Markle’s father has been staging photos of himself and selling them to a ruthless paparazzo whom the Daily Mail happens to know a lot about! The …
Who better to ask about the road before Meghan Markle than an American who married into the British aristocracy herself?
Thanks to Tom Bower’s unauthorized Prince Charles biography, a sensational portrait of a paranoid scrooge who shrieks at the sight of “cling film,” I now get a huge kick out of watching Prince Charles imitate human interactions in public. So I am delighted to imagine him trying to move his body to Meghan Markle’s…
Kensington Palace has announced that Meghan Markle will not have a maid of honor, declining to pick a favorite from among her friends. Leaves more room for her small herd of young bridesmaids and page boys, which is fantastic news for fans of hilarious bridal fashions for kids—which I assume is everyone.
Just when I think I’m getting accustomed to the idea that an American actress is marrying Prince Harry, something reminds me that the Windsors have gone full mid-2000s basic cable movie. Today it’s these nearly decade-old images of Meghan Markle from a gifting suite.
Very sorry to inform all of you die-hard royalists that you will not be able to pitch your custom tent emblazoned with the Union Jack and faces of various royal family members along the procession route for Harry and Meghan’s upcoming nuptials.
