HARRY AND MEGHAN’S MOTTO: BE PREPARED

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven’t publicly RSVP’D to the upcoming May coronation of King Charles, but that’s not stopping her from PREPARING just in case they attend. While the “will they or won’t they?”  remains to be answered, Meghan has already ordered custom outfits for the royal festivities. A fashion insider revealed that Meg has quietly had fittings at home in Montecito with representatives from her favorite designers, including Givenchy, Ralph Lauren and Carolina Herrera. She ordered day suits, gowns and various dresses with swatches of the fabrics already sent to her favorite hatmaker in London.

(Isn’t it about time the Royals dropped that stiff 1950’s rule that women MUST wear hats to all events?)

MEGHAN AND HARRY: MONTECITO TO MALIBU?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are financially comfortable now,  thanks to his autobiography and their Netflix development deal.  They are thinking about moving a few miles south, from Montecito to Malibu! Harry and Meg love the laid back yet sophisticated lifestyle of Montecito, but they’ve quickly grown bored of the wealthy but limited neighborhood. “There are only so many restaurants in town, and the shopping doesn’t compare to Los Angeles,” a Montecito resident told me. Since the couple love the beach and Meg wants to be closer to Hollywood, they’re laser focused on The Colony, a gated beachfront community in Malibu less than an hour from their current home. The Colony is as close to having a private beach as anywhere in California, plus it’s loaded with celebrities – which means enhanced SECURITY. It checks all of their boxes, so Harry and Meg have discreetly started their real estate search.

HARRY AND MEGHAN’S “EVICTION” COULD BE COSTLY

Now that they’re being evicted from Frogmore Cottage (their official residence in the UK) Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have something to say to his dad, King Charles… SHOW US THE MONEY! The estate was a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth and Harry and Meg spent over $3 million of their own money on renovations, but the paint was barely dry before they hightailed it out of there – eventually settling down in Montecito, California. Charles recently told them to move out so his brother Andrew could move in, and now Harry and Meg want to be reimbursed for the extensive renovations. No sooner did they get the “eviction notice” than Harry reached out to the Royal powers-that-be requesting the money. An insider says this could get ugly and might even wind up in a lawsuit.

CHRIS ROCK’S HUMOR WILL NOT BE CENSORED

That was fast! No sooner did Chris Rock’s live Netflix special air than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reached out to the powers that be at the streaming giant to voice their displeasure. In one bit, Chris poked fun at Meghan’s claim of racism in the Royal family, which obviously didn’t sit well with the couple. Harry and Meghan DO have a lucrative Netflix deal which has already earned them millions, but despite that, they were politely told that the network does NOT believe in censorship. Chris’ jokes were funny and they were HIS – not the network’s. It’s unlikely that Harry and Meg will walk away from their deal over this, but to say they’re upset would be an understatement…

OPRAH HAS PLANS FOR MEGHAN MARKLE

They are neighbors and friends, and Oprah Winfrey has big plans for Meghan Markle – she’s mentoring her to become a talk show host. Before retiring, Oprah was the undisputed queen of daytime talk TV and she thinks Meghan has what it takes to fill her shoes. The women hit it off when Oprah interviewed Meg and Prince Harry for that top rated TV special, and they became closer living minutes away from one another in Montecito, California. As their friendship blossomed, so did Oprah’s admiration and she’s planning to anoint Meghan as the “future of daytime talk TV.” As we already told you, Meghan is eager to resume her acting career, but she’s also quite intrigued by Oprah’s idea. Oprah’s been quietly giving her lessons on what it takes to be a great interviewer and Meghan is all ears.

MEGHAN MARKLE IS YEARNING FOR LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

To no one’s surprise, Meghan Markle has been missing her life in front of the camera. She enjoyed her days as a Deal or No Deal briefcase holder, and her 7 seasons on the USA Network drama Suits. Her recent Netflix documentary with Prince Harry only reinforced her desire to return to show business. A friend says that Meghan was prepared to retire from Hollywood and become a Princess in London, but those plans went awry, and she has started feeling unfulfilled as a Montecito housewife. While she adores motherhood, go-getter Meghan wants more. She’s been talking to her friend, mega-producer Tyler Perry and he’s offered her a role in an upcoming project. All signs are pointing to Meghan making some kind of return to showiz.

MEGHAN MARKLE IS A MONTECITO HOUSEWIFE

Now that she’s been relieved of any royal duties, Meghan Markle is turning into quite the housewife (wouldn’t Bravo love to have HER on their series!) Meghan has started to develop friendships with some of her neighbors in Montecito, where she lives with Prince Harry. She was recently invited to join a women’s club that some of her wealthy neighbors started years back. One of the holiday traditions of the group is an annual bake-off and this year Meghan WON with her brown sugar crusted pumpkin loaf. Imagine that. An insider reveals that Meghan has taken up baking and has been experimenting with different baked goods, telling friends it’s “therapeutic.” We’ll see how long THIS lasts…

NO WONDER MARIAH CAREY ENJOYS BEING CALLED A DIVA

Meghan Markle interviewed Mariah Carey for her podcast Archetypes, and the conversation was lighthearted until Mariah casually remarked “You give us diva moments sometimes, Meghan.” Meghan looked horrified and asked “How can you say that?” – NOT the reaction Mariah was looking for. Meghan continued “What kind of diva moments do I give you?” Mariah hastened to explain that it was a COMPLIMENT – due to Meghan’s VISUAL appeal- her beauty, gorgeous ensembles, and glamorous life. “You have everything going for you!” Mariah observed. Meghan thought it over and decided that Mariah meant well, but there are decidedly different ways of interpreting the word diva. The dictionary defines the word diva as a “difficult, temperamental, and demanding person.” For some reason, Mariah connects the word to glamour and success. After this, will she still be flattered when people call HER a diva?

PRINCE HARRY IS THE LUCKY ONE

Meghan Markle has given Prince Harry the best of both worlds. They are in New York to take part in the Global Citizen Live 24 hour worldwide event in Central Park promoting equal access to covid vaccine. Besides continuing their charity work, the couple has a highly profitable deal with Netflix to create content and Meghan is working on an animated feature about a 12 year old girl who becomes inspired by successful women in history. Of course they are meeting and working with the most prominent people in New York and Hollywood. Besides their flourishing business lives, they are living a dreamy life near the beach in idyllic Santa Barbara with their young son and daughter born in June. Isn’t that better than being stifled in the palace and told what to do every day? Meghan has given Harry a wonderful and enviable life…

MEGHAN AND HARRY: THE HIGH PRICE OF FAME

In their big interview with Oprah, we were surprised when Prince Harry and Meghan talked about how upsetting it was that the Royals had cut off their security, and now they had to pay for their own. In fact, Harry added that they had never thought about making deals with Netflix and Spotify until they realized how much they would have to pay for their own security. Chris Gardner at The Hollywood Reporter researched exactly what the cost might be for the runaway royals, and we were SHOCKED. It could easily be 10 million dollars a year, depending on their lifestyle! That’s what Facebook pays to protect Mark Zuckerberg and his family – of course they probably get a lot more threats. But Oprah’s interview stirred up plenty of divisive opinions about Harry and Meghan, so they probably DO need expensive protection.
