Academy Museum Staffers Announce Formation Of Union

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle dashed home to the US on a private jet following a frosty visit, proving things between the royal rebels and the rest of the family – especially Prince William and Kate Middleton – have not improved. In fact, insiders tell heat the whole trip has made the royal rift ten times worse.“Harry and Meghan knew there would be awkward moments, but they had no idea how hostile the reception would be,” says an insider close to the Duke of Sussex, 37, who famously fell out with much of his family – and the British public – after he and Meghan, 40, dramatically quit royal duties in 2020.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been calling Montecito, California home for a few years, ever since they took a step back from being 'senior' members of the Royal family.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex currently reside in a lavish £11 million mansion with their two children Archie and Lilibet and have pulled out the stops to ensure their family home is perfect. They previously shared a glimpse inside their house when filming for a Spotify event which showed off its elegant yet rustic beauty and very chic furnishings.

Meghan Markle is no stranger to media attention, and, let's face it, it's not always for the most positive, glowing reasons. The 40 year old American former actress, who lives in California with her husband Prince Harry, has been on the sharp end of many an online attack since her rise to royalty. In a somewhat heartbreaking tale, it's often controversy surrounding Meghan's relationship with her estranged father Thomas that hits the headlines.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly "invited Prince William and Kate Middleton" to their daughter Lilibet's first birthday party on Saturday, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge didn't attend.The Duke, 37, and Duchess of Sussex, 40, finally revealed the first proper snap of Lilibet upon their return to Montecito, California on Monday, 6 June. With the image, which showed the red-headed little girl beaming at the camera in a powder blue dress as she sat in the immaculate garden of Frogmore Cottage, the Sussexes shared details of how they spent their daughter's special day.The couple held a small backyard picnic with close family and friends, and filled it with activities such as face painting and games for the children.

Contradicting claims over an alleged picture request have gone viral since the California-based couple introduced baby Lilibet, 1, to the Queen for the first time last Wednesday, after jetting to the UK to partake in Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Reports from multiple other outlets claim Harry, 37, and Markle, 40, wanted their personal photographer to take happy snaps of the Queen and 1-year-old Lilibet — but were shut down. According to one anonymous source, they were told: “No chance.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared a rare photo of their daughter Lilibet at her 'garden picnic party' as they reflected on her first birthday. The couple, who have already returned to the US following their brief visit during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, have been very firm on keeping their children out of the media. So this surprise snap is a real treat for royal fans after they celebrated Lilibet's first birthday in a casual but private party at Windsor Castle on Saturday, June 4.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter Lilibet has been kept out of the media spotlight since she was born in 2021, but that's not to say there haven't been some mini milestones along the way. In fact, having a birthday message from the Queen herself is a pretty big deal – even if she is your great-grandmother.

Ever since Cardi B launched her Messenger Watch series “Cardi Tries”, fans have watched her attempt everything from ballet to tennis to being a country singer.

Ellen DeGeneres has admitted having no recollection of her very first meeting with Meghan Markle.
