Meghan Markle is currently staying with Prince Harry at Kensington Palace

wenn30000606

Here are some photos of Prince Harry today, leading the Armistice Day/Remembrance Day services in the UK. In these photos, he’s attending the service at the National Memorial Arboretum. He’s wearing my favorite of his dress uniforms too. He was out yesterday at a high-profile Remembrance Day service with his grandfather, and I would imagine there will be services this weekend and Harry will be front and center – he’s the only royal of his generation to actually serve in a war (Harry served two tours of duty in Afghanistan).

Meanwhile, as we also discussed yesterday, it seems that Meghan begged off of work (on Suits) this week. Page Six theorized that Meghan was meeting with lawyers, potentially to sue some of the media outlets who have been going after her. But I theorized that she asked for time off from work because she wanted to fly to London to bang a ginger prince. Guess what? I was right. She flew to London this week and she was spotted yesterday, apparently about to enter Kensington Palace. Here are the photos:

Harry’s London pad is Nottingham Cottage, on the Kensington Palace grounds, and sources tell the Daily Mail that Meghan is just full-on staying with Harry. She was doing some grocery shopping too – she went to Whole Foods, presumably so she could make dinner for him? Or does she do the shopping and he does the cooking?

As for that letter that Harry put out earlier this week, blasting the media’s treatment of his girlfriend, People Magazine had an interesting analysis of why Harry is so passionate right out of the gate. A source told People that Harry’s reasoning for sending the letter was simple: it’s about who he is as a man. The source says: “Harry understands that this is not a magic wand to wave, that issuing a statement like this will make it all stop. But he no longer felt comfortable in himself that this was happening to her — not because of who she is but because of who he is.” As in, “It is the equivalent of the old-fashioned lord sticking up for his lady.” Sources agree that his letter probably won’t change anything about the way Meghan is covered, but the letter worked as a confirmation that Harry is very serious about her and everyone should act accordingly.

I still can’t believe it – I’m a mixed race American girl and a few years older than Harry, and this whole time, I thought Harry would never be into someone like me. I thought his type was always going to be “younger posh blonde.” If I had known that Harry likes multiracial American girls, why didn’t I throw myself at him sooner???? We would have been perfect for each other!!

    Such a hypocrite. Read her bag then she enters a palace!

    • ya says:

      it’s a GROCERY BAG.
      she didn’t design it.

      I know ppl want to believe Markle is some kind of mastermind who snuck her way into Harry’s arms and has been siphoning his life force ever since (or something) but I find that whole idea a bit far-fetched.

      • notasugarhere says:

        As pointed out elsewhere, the in-store eco bags are often charity related this time of year. Forgot your bag? Buy this reusable one with the charity logo for a dollar.

      • Chaz says:

        @YA Totally agree. Their paths just happened to cross.
        The Middletons did plan certain things, perhaps not thinking they would secure a crown prince, but schools and uni were chosen with an eye on possible matches.

        Although part of me still thinks the palace will intervene, I am fascinated by the way it is playing out.
        Maybe Harry is like ‘feck you I will fecking date whoever the feck I want’, albeit with a posher voice and better word choices.

      • Tina says:

        If the palace was going to intervene, that statement would never have been released.

    • Guesto says:

      Oh for pity’s sake. Talk about scraping the barrel to find something to criticise her for.

      • Olenna says:

        I think there are Harrybitches out there that we knew nothing about. This is going to get interesting.

    • ya says:

      amirite?

    • Cee says:

      You have to be joking.

    • Crowdhood says:

      Kitty I pray that your sarcasm didn’t come through here. I mean this woman works and started a business and seems to be fairly charitable and removed from the public eye given her career. Please relax.

    • grumpy bird says:

      What would you have her do? Not buy the bag? Not go into the palace? You know it’s not actually her palace, right? Would you call Prince Harry a hypocrite?

    • Lahdidahbaby says:

      C’mon, Kitty, get a fecking grip. Talk about nitpicking. She’s a smart, articulate, and politically aware woman who has struggled against stereotypes all her life as a mixed-race person (her mother is black, father white). And she’s a terrifically good writer as well, by the way. Finally, a woman of substance on the palace grounds, and you object to the grocery bag she’s carrying?!? She’s bringing GROCERIES into Prince Harry’s Kensington Palace cottage…GROCERIES — as in cook-it-yourself supplies. Omg.

      • Amy says:

        Yes, it’s actually ALL amazing! And where better to (accidentally?) advertise ending poverty but a building of power which CAN make a difference. I’m so down with this relationship I can’t even deal.

      • Lahdidahbaby says:

        LOL Amy, I’m with you on that.

    • SusanneToo says:

      Should they stay in a motel?

      • Lahdidahbaby says:

        Dunno why that made me laugh, SusanneToo, but it did — guess I love the image of Harry checking into a Motel 6 with Meghan.

  2. Nope says:

    Sure. Sure. And then she turns back around after reaching the front gate, once the photo op is done!

  3. Secret squirrel says:

    But Kaiser, if you married Harry, you would have to give up your gossip posting here and that just wouldn’t be acceptable I’m afraid.

    P.S. Agree with you on the uniform. Suits Harry!

  4. Cee says:

    Even if the press doesn’t stop at least she knows the kind of man she is with and that is a huge deal.

    I like them together, I always found her beautiful and kind (I watch Suits and I like her character). I hope it works out for them. She is independent, hard working, charitable and has drive. That’s exactly what the RF needs.

  5. QQ says:

    Well Go On, Gingy!! Get your girl I guess

  6. CoKatie says:

    We’re going to get an engagement …

    • HeidiM says:

      I think so too!

      • Schnee says:

        I …. even think she’s pregnant. That’s why they’re hurrying up so much.

        If she already lives with him and is turning away from Suits that might just be the signs we needed. Also she has been meeting the family and friends already. I think they might be serious and pregnant.

    • Elaine says:

      We SO are 🙂

      This girl is *on* it. (no shade). She wants ‘Duchess Meghan’ to be real and I join her in it. Git it, gurl!

    • Tris says:

      Meghan + Harry = Marry!!

    • BritAfrica says:

      Now….now…….don’t jinx it!

      They should take their time and date. Always date properly BEFORE you marry anyone in the BRF. It’s not an easy life.

    • Harper says:

      I’m working on a prayer circle, anyone is welcome to join! She’s intelligent, talented, poised, compassionate and absolutely stunning. Werk!

    • Sarah says:

      Really? I don’t see it. She does partial nudity on television. I mean, that’s fine, I wouldn’t do it, but it doesn’t mean she’s a terrible person at all, but we are talking the BRF. An actress who does nudity joining the most conservative royal family in Europe? No way. I’d bet my mortgage payment on it.
      I think they are enjoying a fling and then Harry will go back to his British blondes. And I also think she is an opportunist. Bananas, bracelets, and her new clothing line. She’s thirsty. And the BRF has an antenna for this kind of stuff. And as much as I can’t stand Kate’s work ethic, she never shared anything on social media. Carole figured out the rules and Kate followed them.

      • Tina says:

        We may have voted to leave the EU, but we’re still European. She’s never done anything especially risqué (she’s no Koo Stark). And there is no way Harry/KP releases that letter just for a fling. Nothing was confirmed about Kate until she and William got engaged. I don’t think people realise how utterly unprecedented this was. I think this is it for Harry.

      • Lbliss says:

        Uh Sarah remember Sofia Hellqvist? Currently she is married to Prince carl Philip of Sweden? She is a former topless model and reality star. Megan Markle doesn’t do partial nudity. She acts on a professional television series, and with far better credentials than Princess Sofia.

      • TotallyBiased says:

        Nudity? Can’t be anything significant, as Suits is on network television. USA channel doesn’t even go as far as AMC.

  7. BeBeA says:

    Why did I start laughing like Cruella Deville who just got her hands on a hundred and one Dalmatians,…… weird. Probably because this is erking so many people that is just totally delicious to me. there it goes again….. it’s uncontrollable ………. my. Megan Merkel news laugh!

    • MellyMel says:

      This +100!! We’re speaking the same language! I’m loving that this is making people so so bothered!

    • BritAfrica says:

      What BeBeA said…….

    • Susannah says:

      I love that all those judgmental bitches on the royal blogs are proved wrong. These same women who hate Kate but always said they’d love anyone that Harry would choose but as soon as Meghan showed up she was smug, entitled, a liar who’s making up the whole relationship for publicity and of course, just not right for the royal family. There’s no way he’d go for someone “like her” HA! I know it’s pathetic on my part too but I just hate those ladies!

      • Cee says:

        I dont get it- She’s successful, has her own business, writes, is a humanitarian, she’s beautiful (the least important characteristic, but still), she’s never been involved in any scandal and the only raciness is that connected to the character she portrays.

        What’s there not to like about her?

      • Susannah says:

        @Cee
        I think they ultimately don’t like that she’s not them. They want to be Harry’s girlfriend. Some of them even said they hoped he’d stay single or find “the right girl” again, I’m sure they’re waiting for him to choose one of them. They’re like royal versions of the Cumberbitches.

      • Sarah says:

        Cee, if she was a business woman like Maxima, or a journalist like Letizia, I think it would be ok. But she’s a sexy actress on a tv show, who takes her clothes off for money. And American. I don’t even think the racial thing matters at all, but the job and what she does in it matters. And she has shared on IG, and right around the time she’s promoting her clothing line. I don’t see how everyone here doesn’t see how thirsty she is? It seems really obvious to me. Compare her to Chelsea who never shared anything, and never self-promoted.

      • LOLADOESTHEHULA says:

        “But she’s a sexy actress on a tv show, who takes her clothes off for money.”

        Wow, how disgustingly backwards and misogynistic. Way to reduce an educated humanitarian to nothing but a sex object. Almost all actors do love scenes, are they all just glorified strippers?

        Her clothing line predates her relationship with Harry and she’s contractually obligated to promote it so what on earth are you even on about?

      • Nic919 says:

        I agree that the speed with which the hate developed against Meghan was scary. She is now a thirsty bitch because she posted two vague IG pics. Oh and she is a horrible actress and no one has seen her show. I agree this is similar to the cumberbitches reactions to Sophie Hunter.

        I actually am pro Meghan. She is exactly what the BRF needs in all ways. And it helps that she makes Kate look like the useless person she is. Meghan created a life and didn’t just wait for a man.

  8. ell says:

    ‘I thought Harry would never be into someone like me’

    it’s because having a type isn’t really a thing, idk why some people get so caught up in this. yes, there can be some physical traits that we find more attractive as a general rule, but people are 3 dimensional beings with so much more going on, and ultimately you can fall for anybody really.

    unless you’re leo dicaprio obviously, but that’s because he doesn’t see his girlfriends as actual human beings, just as things to use.

    • littlemissnaughty says:

      DiCaprio doesn’t have a type, he has issues. But I agree on the rest. I’ve never found people to have a type when it comes to actual dating.

      I love them together, I don’t even know why. I’m kinda invested. 🙂 Maybe because a fairy tale is exactly the distraction I need right now. GET MARRIED.

    • bettyrose says:

      Also, your preferences change and evolve, but it seems like Harry’s love interests have always had professional passions or ambitions. He probably wants a woman with her own interests who isn’t just hanging on him all the time. (I mean, I think that’s what everyone wants in a partner, but in that family, who knows?)

  9. Eldy says:

    Mark my words, if they don’t break up before Christmas, there is a royal engagement ahead in 2017… maybe two if Eugenie of York is already unofficially planning her wedding.

    • PHAKSI says:

      I was thinking about this. I’m thinking an engagement isn’t coming any time soon. She is probably gonna have commitments with suits and her clothing line for most of next year

      • notasugarhere says:

        Grace Kelly had commitments too, and those were negotiated around. That’s why her wedding dress was designed by studio designer Helen Rose, and the entire thing was filmed by the studio. The royal wedding was turned into an MGM production. Anything to get Kelly out of her contract so she could start her life with Rainier in Monaco sooner.

      • LAK says:

        Nota: it always makes me laugh when people go on and on about Grace Kelly’s wedding as if it was original when entire thing, clothing and processions etc were dreamed up in a production office of MGM studios.

        Their best production, no?

      • notasugarhere says:

        One of them!

      • PHAKSI says:

        LAK, NOTA so your implying we’re gonna see The Royal Wedding (sponsered by some american tv network & the bride’s clothing line)

      • LAK says:

        Phaksi: Please let’s gossip genie this!!

        ….but no ad breaks.

      • PHAKSI says:

        😀 it will great to watch cos it will probably be super tacky

    • Miss M says:

      I think so too! Go Meghan and Harry! I am rooting for you both and living vicariously through Meghan, 🙂

  10. Rae says:

    I’ve not commented so far, but I’m watching with interest how this relationship goes and how they handle the media.

    Its not going to be easy to dance the line between media friendly TV show actress, to privacy seeking royal girlfriend.

    • Sarah says:

      Nor is it going to be easy to dance along the line of living on separate continents. Waity Katey didn’t have a job to weigh her down but Meaghan has a career in a specific location (North America) – a location that is not England. And it’s not like she’s some freelance photographer who can be flexible about when she works. She works on someone else’s schedule or she doesn’t work. She could give up the career (acting) and move to England so she could be closer to Harry but she might find giving up her old life “for love” leaves her pretty unhappy. I wish them the best but I see long-distance, vastly-different-backgrounds trouble ahead.

  11. Mp says:

    Oh god, Im just here for the comments!
    Ps: is it really her? i cant even see her face.

    • spidey says:

      I’m here for the same reason, and I also have my doubts. 🙂

    • Adele Dazeem says:

      Tin foil hat conspiracy here, so humor me:

      If i were a fledgling photographer/reporter trying to make a name for myself I could get a girl that fits her basic description (Height, weight, dark hair or wig) in a hat and boots and no face shown…and take her photos in the vicinity and help my career….just sayin…..

      • Mp says:

        Ohhhh sh#ttttt thats genius, slow claps to you miss Adele ahahaha!
        It’s not like the daily mail would be above those kind of antics amirite?

    • TJ says:

      It’s her, you see her side profile. She has a distinctive nose – very similar to Harry’s actually.

  12. Yellowrose says:

    Don’t William and Kate live in Kensington Palace, too? Well, this will be a good opportunity for the ever so keen to find out what Markle is about Kate to do so – including how much better looking Markle is than she. All right, meowwwww — guilty as charged.

    I’d start calculating for a spring royal wedding, but after I lost private bets with friends on BREXIT AND Hiddleswift AND this week’s election, I’m burned.

  13. Ana says:

    Does this people even pay their house rent?

  14. sordad says:

    Whole Foods isn’t a just an American thing? Huh.

    • Tina says:

      There’s only one in the UK, as far as I know, but it’s right by Kensington Palace. It’s ridiculous, the prices make Waitrose look like Asda.

      • Casey says:

        No Tina, there are a bunch! Of course they’re all in ritzy neighborhoods. Fulham, Clapham/Battersea, Piccadilly circus, Camden.

      • LAK says:

        I’ve seen the one if Clapham/Battersea. Didn’t know there were others apart from the Ken High street one.

        If i recall, Whole Foods bought Planet Organic and Fresh and Wild. They may not have their own stores, but they operate those other brands.

      • graymatters says:

        They’re expensive here, too. I haven’t been in one for years.

      • Leah says:

        There are whole foods shops all over London and outside too. They do tend to be in pretty posh areas, though.

      • yellow says:

        That was their approach in the US originally, too. At least in areas nice enough to have health food stores existing. Buy up pre-existing places like Wild Oats, etc and once those are exhausted, build new stores.

      • Tina says:

        I stand corrected! As you can tell, I would never shop there. Also reeling from the notion of Clapham/Battersea/Camden being ritzy neighbourhoods, but I suppose they are!

      • TotallyBiased says:

        Well, in the States we also call it Whole Paycheck.

      • Shirleygail says:

        There’s one replacing our Safeway in my little city of North Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada. I’ve heard it called “whole paycheque” by some.

    • Shirleygail says:

      LOL, sorry just noticed the post above mine said exactly the same thing~ I was quoting, not correcting, for the record~

  15. Kitty says:

    I don’t think they will get married.

  16. ria says:

    Café au lait-Ginger babies seems like a good bet in the near future.

    Just think of all the Prettyness coming in the Royal Family, finally someone with good skin and other good genetic.

    Willnots and DoolitleKates childrens look sweet now, but when they get older they will look too much like their parents.

    Harry has a good Chance for really gorgeous Children.

  17. Sixer says:

    Happy happy joy joy.

  18. PHAKSI says:

    As if I couldn’t love Harry more, he defends his lady’s honour 😀

  19. Talie says:

    Lainey spilled tea years ago that Harry dated a few black girls undercover…because he couldn’t do it publicly. I’m glad that he now feels comfortable to be public about it.

    • LAK says:

      No one believes it even though it’s common knowledge.

      He didn’t hide it. It was simply not covered per se because everyone thought ot improbable because the public keeps insisting thst only certain types are acceptable with no evidence to back up such convictions.

      Anyhue, all tjis to say that yes, this isn’t the first non white girl he has dated.

  20. Citresse says:

    She could have taken a car to shopping. She obviously wants publicity. And the royals since Edward and Sophie are big on living together to “practise” before marriage… Charles said something to the effect about W&K before they got married…. ” well, they’ve been practising for a while now…. so I guess Harry has cleared out a drawer for Meghan at KP.

    • Jess says:

      Not really. I used to live in that area and shopped on High st Ken all the time. Whole foods is 5 min away from Kensington palace. That road has heavy traffic you’d get stuck just trying to get on high st Ken and it would be pretty pointless.Kate Middleton has been spotted shopping on that road there Often. Harry himself has been seen coming in and out of those shops. Only difference is of course they are followed by a security detail.

    • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

      Hmm, High Street Kensington isn’t car friendly as its on a very very busy main road plus the high street is literally a few mins walk from KP. I know the area well and have shopped many times there.

      • Tia says:

        As people have said, you can’t really shop central London by car unless you want to cause chaos (the tabloids gleefully post the clamped cars of people who try)

    • LAK says:

      Whole Foods is a skip and a hop from KP.

      It’s also on a very busy traffic junction. Cars do not stop there.

      It’s possible to do a 10-15mins supermarket ran if you know what you are buying.

    • Sixer says:

      Also laughing at the thought of trying to shop by car around High Street Ken.

    • notasugarhere says:

      Walk 5 minutes to shop vs. bring royal motorcade? If she wanted to draw attention to herself, she’d be in the motorcade.

    • Citresse says:

      Thanks for clearing that up re- car v walking. The only part of London I got to know somewhat is north ie- St John’s Wood, sp Lodge Road area. I think Diana gave her time and space speech at the Regent’s Park Hilton but then there was a fire and the Hilton is long gone. There was a nice Italian restaurant nearby called Tino’s.
      I think it’s nice she wore Harry’s hat to go shopping.

  21. Jess says:

    Apparently shes not only there for Harry. She had some work for DAVE tv which shows Suits in the Uk. She was supposed fly in last weekend, but because of scheduling conflicts at work it was cancelled.

    • notasugarhere says:

      Hmm. So all those people insisting she’s taken time off of work improperly so she can be in London with Harry? Instead she’s in London doing promotion for that work, and seeing Harry.

      • Kate says:

        I’d imagine the work was added when she told the production she was going to London. Suits isn’t a big deal for that channel and she’s one of the less important and recognisable characters. Her character is exceptionally dull in a show full of big characters. I’d be shocked if they flew her over to do ads, unless they’re cashing in on the royal connection.

  22. Jillybean says:

    She’s very educated and socially active with a number of world help groups.. not just a pretty actress..

  23. Casey says:

    Kaiser, you *so* could have! I’m american, mixed race living in the UK and let me tell you -the pickings are good! They don’t see race, they see a girl they think is hot (and her big boobs, but that’s another story 😉

    If you’re weird like me and have a thing for pale, pasty, posh boys with fancy accents -get. over. here. I’m strictly average and have had preppy guys hit on me here, who in America would glance at me across a room, think “…maybe” then hightail it back to Katey-so-white-it-hurts.
    Nope! UK bay-bee!

  24. Sage says:

    She’s wearing his bracelets, hat and now stocking his fridge. I wonder if she will attend the rugby match with him.

    I still don’t see this ending in an engagement.

    • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

      Me neither on the engagement thing. While I think its probably serious I don’t think he intended for it to get out this soon, me thinks she or someone close to her leaked. The rollout, if there even was one, was so badly executed.

      • Kitty says:

        He really did make himself look like an a** in that statement.

      • Leah says:

        Nah. I thought it was cool. The royal family taking a stand against racism who would have thought.

      • notasugarhere says:

        BRF does not do girl friend roll outs, unless we want to harken all the way back to Diana dragging Fergie on a private visit to Andrew’s ship with toddler William. That wasn’t the BRF doing it, it was Diana and her whims.

        There were no roll outs with Kate Middleton or Chelsy, Cressida had protections from her side with the media but not from his/Palace. I don’t think either of them planned (or leaked) this to be out now.

      • Tina says:

        I thought it made him look protective and really quite romantic.

  25. MI6 says:

    When you fall in love, there is no “type.”

    • Natalie S says:

      +1000

      I dig the two of them together.

      • ravensdaughter says:

        Me too. I hope this works out. I think Harry really wants to settle down and have some babies. Hopefully Meghan does too.
        The Queen must be having a fit just because she’s American. I love it!

      • Guesto says:

        Why would the queen be having a fit because she’s American?

        If anything, she and Phil are probably dancing a happy jig that their Harry, unlike his brother, has found himself a lovely, intelligent, hard-working, engaged woman, one they’ll be able to have a conversation with without falling into an upright ‘hair and keenness’ coma.

      • LAK says:

        “People think there is a rigid class system here, but Dukes have been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans” Prince Philip 2000.

  26. Tris says:

    Why do all American girls think they have to wear Wellies when the visit their British boyfriends?

    • sordad says:

      Except those aren’t Wellies? They’re the same kind of boots that pretty much every American woman (with thin legs) wears in the colder months.

    • Bee says:

      A pair of Hunter boots comes FREE with every posh British boyfriend. It’s law.

  27. Trillion says:

    His mom also appreciated the beauty of races other than hers. Maybe this is another way in which he takes after her.

  28. Pdog says:

    What’s especially interesting is how many people commented on the picture with “leave the girl alone”. Harry has a lot of fans, and it seems they are keen to respect his wishes

    • Leah says:

      He was definitely right about the racism. Not just the deplorable Daily Mail article ” straight out of compton” ( New York times called out for the racism in that piece). I had a peek at her instagram last night and theres a fair share of racist trolls on there. Its a bit similar to how FKA twigs was treated when she first started dating Robert Pattison.

  29. bellebottomblues says:

    No matter the outcome, this is very entertaining. The heart wants what the heart wants!
    I’ve seen MM in Suits and doing interviews etc and she comes across as a confident, intelligent woman with no problems articulating her views.
    Her personality really comes across and seems genuine. I have more of an idea of her personality after one interview than Kate’s after 6 + years.

  30. It'sJustBlanche says:

    I bet he was seeing her long before it was on anyone’s radar and I bet he marries her. He’s a rebel in some ways and he does his own thing. He’s also at an age when most guys start to want to settle down.

  31. MellyMel says:

    Still here for the (haters’) comments and cackling as I read them! I love everything about this coupling!

    Sure the harry fangirls on tumblr and royaldish are fuming. Think i might go over there with some popcorn. Lol… I love it. She seems to have her head on straight, and seems to want to work. And she knows how to wear clothes, and not let the clothes wear her.

    • Casey says:

      I know! Those bishes are hyp-o-crites! We’ve been praying for a Princess that works and does charity -what more do they want?!

      I had to step away, for the good of my health.

      Someone on another thread speculated that Meghan was involved in Harry’s re-decorating kick that leaked a month ago. That should have been the first hint.

      If you’re picking out your boyfriend’s curtains, then there is definitely the expectation that they may someday be your curtains!

      Woo, Meghan! You drape that ‘Royal Blue’ fabric from here to Toronto. I’m not gonna hate!

  33. The Original G says:

    Here in Canada there is a mid-priced ladies fashion chain called Reitman’s that has been having Meghan as a spokesperson and designer. Maybe a coup for them?

    • Canadian Becks says:

      Bought Reitman’s stuff this May and been getting emails from them ever since. Started seeing this “Meghan Markle collection” in my inbox for months now. Her collaboration with Reitman’s obviously pre-dates Harry.

      She’s seems very entrepreneurial.

      • The Original G says:

        This whole time, I’ve been at Reitman’s going “Who’s Meghan Markle? Now I see she’s dating Harry. The Reitman’s lady? LOL. Maybe they’ll expand into bridal wear?

      • Shirleygail says:

        I did too, with the who? I didn’t connect her to Suits right away. I tend to be distracted by the lovely looking men. I like the Suits/Reitmans/Everywoman connection. Seems Harry does too. Good lad!

    • Bee says:

      They must be thrilled. The five clothing pieces are OK, but a little boring, and aimed at skinnies, definitely nothing groundbreaking. Surely though, she will drop that like a hot potato when high end designers come knocking should this thing last and they go public (as in photographed together in some official capacity).

  34. Harper says:

    Give me that royal wedding! I am laughing so hard at her being papped carrying groceries into an actual Palace and I’d like to thank everyone involved for this bright spot in a dark time. Christmas engagement, spring wedding and a baby on the way in the fall, I’m calling it now. I love this couple for so many reasons, I might just start working on decorations for the viewing party of their wedding now.

    • Emily says:

      I am such a drippy romantic…but wouldn’t a Christmas engagement be nice? Ugh, I almost hate myself for saying it.

      Still keeping my fingers crossed, though.

      • Harper says:

        LoL, MTE! I don’t think they’ll wait, why should they? They probably both want kids and she’s already stable and accomplished in her career/humanitarian work. It’s a legit Lifetime Movie come to life, I’m obsessed. I’m going to re-watch Suits just to show my support 😛

  35. Adi says:

    He has Type.
    Rich, posh, privately educated, lots of free time to party and all friends with Eugienie lol
    All of those apply to Meghan.
    Harry to me comes across as not very bright, spoiled, and superficial. He goes off to ‘save’ endangered animals in Africa from poachers but still goes game hunting with friends and family- and the ‘humanitarian’ girlfriend too.. He leads the life of a playboy and the media has protected him for too long now…
    She is loving the attention. She keeps her instagram account public, eveb though she has a website that she can use to promote her ‘charity work’. Her account is filled with the soft sunny self-indulgent lifestyle that is so generic.
    The way they’re behaving regarding media scrutiny reminds me of the South Park episode Safe Space.
    If you don’t want people commenting on the stuff you put out there…

    • Jess says:

      Lot of projecting there at least one of those projections is completely off.She’s not posh. She’s from an average normal background. She has money now because of her successful career but didn’t grew up rich.

    • graymatters says:

      There is a huge difference between legal hunting of game animals for human consumption and poaching and an even larger difference of hunting endangered animals. The equivalent is buying your meat in a grocery store, stealing the meat, and stealing the meat from the famine relief warehouses. Harry’s no hypocrite.

      And I don’t understand the appeal of instagram, but it’s a money maker, and part of MM’s career trajectory. As you say, it’s soft, self-indulgent, and generic. It’s not interesting, but I don’t think it’s a problem, either.

  36. cakecakecake says:

    I love that this pisses so many people off, LOL!!

    • AT says:

      That’s th best thing about it other than seeing Harry so happy and giddy. People losing their mind over Meghan.

  37. AT says:

    I’m so hapy about this couple and glad to finally see a comment section that feels the same. People are so petty when it comes to Harry’s love life. I loved his statement, protective boyfriend ftw.

  38. Carey says:

    People keep saying “she loves the attention” as if it’s a bad thing. If you are getting involved with one of the most famous men on the planet, wouldn’t it be good to enjoy the spotlight? Otherwise you’d be miserable.

  39. ALP says:

    Just curious if she’s going to be dragged as hard as TayTay was, for dressing the part of an English country gentlewoman (Wellies? How dare she?!) while dating a Brit. Before I get yelled at, let me assure you, I am no fan of Taylor’s, and I realized Meghan seems to be a woman of significantly more substance than Taylor, I just wonder at what point the standard changes.

    • Harper says:

      I get what you’re saying but TayTay and Tim Heffalump were doing Wellies pap strolls withing a week of first being papped together. It’s a sign of how hard the times are that I’m kind of holding out hope that TayTay and Tag Hopalong are reborn from the embers of their contract and we get a good old couch jumping/MET Gala wedding out of it.

    Kaiser! Watch the video on this BBC page, it is Harry reading The Soldier. You WILL tear up.

    The Sun is reporting that she is expected to attend the Rugby game with Harry.

  42. Reece says:

    “I’m a mixed race American girl and a few years older than Harry, and this whole time, I thought Harry would never be into someone like me.” Join the club Kaiser. And I’m a born and bred Cali girl. lol
    But seriously, this is one of the few things that’s given me joy over the past few days.

  43. Kaz says:

    I hope they’re having a lot of fun, bonking like crazy and planning to elope.

  44. tim says:

    She cannot attend the rugby as it is an official event, it is to honour our soldiers past and present for remembrance day. If she goes it will turn into a farce she better not as a soldier its not even about harry time to grow up do not tarnish the field of poppies show her off at another event as it stands her shopping run pulled focus and she was the top story on all the papers this week was not the week to be seen show some respect.

    • FrostedFlakes says:

      Don’t think she is at Twickenham, which incidentally is about 10 minutes from my home. I am even willing to bet that while the paps and journos focus on Twickenham and KP, she’s probably on her way back to Canada or US. The negative press has been relentless – with the journos determined to paint her in the worst light possible. I have done a marathon review of her vids and interviews online, and she comes across VERY well. The press did not have an issue with Cressida Bonas- also a model and actress, which IMO had disaster written all over that probability. I can only but conclude that this level of negativity towards Meghan is rooted in the fact that :

      a. she is bi-racial (being 1/2 black clearly is an issue)
      b. Meghan is not a blue-eyed blonde from what they believe to be an “acceptable” background although Cressida’s multi-divorced mother has x number of children with y number of men (still acceptable background?)
      c. Meghan is divorced (well, Ann, Charles, and Andrew are divorced – Charles actually married a divorcee – so is this NOT a double standard)
      d. American (don’t see how this could be an issue as people were EXCITED, BESIDE THEMSELVES at the prospect of a relationship with the Invictus swimmer – an American, divorcee, who I also suspect is of mixed heritage (her grandmother is Hispanic). The difference is that she actually LOOKS caucasian.

      If this relationship is genuine, it won’t change things. Looking at the photos which have emerged so far from Twickenham, Harry does NOT look happy.

      • Citresse says:

        Harry at Twickenham looked ok to me. Is there a photo where he doesn’t look happy. There are bad/misleading photos of anyone.

    • TotallyBiased says:

      If she goes, it will be properly dressed and attired and in the background to show appropriate respect and honor –but it’s a rugged with South Africa, ffs, not a laying of the wreath.
      The ragloids have been pulling focus this week with their over the top coverage (shopping run ‘scoop’?!) and shame on THEM.
      She’s done nothing wrong, and it wouldn’t “tarnish” any fields for her to be present. Wow, you have a lot of resentment, Tim. Is it that she’s American, or biracial? Tell us what is REALLY bothering you?

      • FrostedFlakes says:

        He did lay a wreath before the match started. Looked kind of official. He is sat next to Charlene of Monaco, originally from South Africa. Before marrying Albert, Charlene was a swimmer – an athlete, and not from a posh background.

        LMFAO… 🙂 I am laughing almost to tears… Charlene’s late mother-in-law is/was Princess Grace – a Hollywood actress who married a Prince … LMFAO… 🙂 thank you Harry… he just subtley gave the finger and a might F Off to the journos

  45. FrostedFlakes says:

    I clearly recall the negative comments, the innuendo and the digs made by the Daily Mail journos at the Middletons, and especially at Kate’s mother Carol. The night before Kate and William’s wedding, I watched an absolutely vile, stomach churning TV programme on the Middleton family… the comments made about Carol Middleton and her coal-mining family were appalling. The family members interviewed on camera must have been paid a great deal of money and were clearly jealous as they were not invited to the wedding. Kate now has the last laugh. These same journos now bow their heads to her as the future Queen or Consort; stand in line and wait for HER to speak to THEM; and she now controls access to herself and her children.. Have they not learnt anything?

    Irony, kismet, karma… history could repeat itself with Meghan Markle… they had better sit up and pay attention.

    • Cee says:

      Carole Middleton must be the proudest woman in the world (in the good sense) for everything she has achieved in life. Her working class background is nothing to be ashamed of and it was deplorable the way the general public and the media tried to shame them.

      Kate, and her family, did really have the last laugh.

    • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

      I am no fan of the Middletons but they did have to put up with a lot from the press with NO support from William. He never once stood up for Kate or her family or did anything like Harry has done for Meghan. However, the Mids courted the press from the get go and if you play with fire you will get burned.

      And as for the wedding, i was saddened that a large part of Kate’s family (her mother’s side) were excluded. Family is family and considering that they invited perfect strangers from Buckleberry (business owners who had never even met them) makes it even more sad. Carole is embarrassed by her roots but clearly not enough to take money from her brothers dodgy business dealings – a man who was caught on tape offering to sell drugs and access to underaged girls.

  46. Citresse says:

    Us weekly online is reporting Markle is back home in Toronto.

  47. FrostedFlakes says:

    There are photos of Cressida Bonas walking back to KP after shopping in the nearby M&S, which incidentally is next to the Whole Foods. She had no cap on to at least attempt to hide her identity and she as usual, looked an absolute mess. It was even reported what she bought – ready meal for 2.

    At least, we can assume that Meghan – as a foodie, would most likely prepare a proper “home cooked” meal for the both of them. Hope she had the opportunity to meet his closest family members while she was here. I suspect that she has already shared a meal or 2 with William, Kate, and Eugenie. So a mighty finger and F Off to the press and the haters.

    • suze says:

      I would assume nothing about what she bought, cooked, whether it was “proper” or not, who prepared it or who did not, whether she has supped with the entire family or not.

      Projecting that kind of thing leads to madness and a bunch of facts that aren’t facts floating around. Maybe the toilet paper at the cottage is not up to snuff and she had to make an emergency run.

      She seems like quite a catch for Harry. He is very lucky with this one. But we will see what falls out.

      • FrostedFlakes says:

        Yes, those were my projections, and not based on fact. However, she IS a foodie and the shopping bags from Whole Foods did not appear to be empty. Based on the photos, she had 2 shopping bags. As I recall THAT particular store – the Whole Foods on Kensington High Street — does not have a huge ready meal section.

        Most of the stuff bought there, require preparation unless she only went there to purchase as you suggested, something entirely mundane. Then again, it does carry a large selection of vegetables, fruit, wines, and cheeses, and has a massive bakery.
