write way to handle her business ventures.The Duchess of Sussex, 42, recently dropped her latest project, a new lifestyle company called American Riviera Orchard.The label will be releasing products such as jams, jellies and even cookware, and as it turns out, the brand’s logo has a nice personal touch from Markle herself.As royal fans may know, the former actress used to do calligraphy as a side hustle before she married into the Firm.The American Riviera Orchard emblem is actually Markle’s very own handwriting and design.Before starring on the hit legal drama “Suits,” she worked at the Paper Source where she coached calligraphy and bookbinding in the mid 2000s.She even penciled the wedding invitations for Paula Patton and Robin Thicke for their 2005 nuptials.In her old blog, The Tig, she expressed her passion for the fancy penmanship arts.The website was shut down in 2017 just before her wedding to Prince Harry a year later.“I think handwritten notes are a lost art form,” she scribed in one post. “The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special.”The defunct blog also has a special connection to the mother of two’s new company.American Riviera Orchard’s homepage says that the website was “Made by Article” — a digital business based in Toronto.The company also worked on The Tig, with Markle once leaving a glowing review for them.“There is a reason I have worked with Ryan and the talented team at Article for a decade: their attention to detail, their creativity and care, and the thoughtful approach to design as well as to the user experience,” she praised on Article’s website.

began outpatient treatment in February, and has since taken a slight step back from official duties to focus on his health.“I am hearing that he’s actually responding genuinely, really well to cancer treatment,” royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths told “GB News.”“And everyone in the royal household is feeling positive and upbeat about how he’s responding,” Griffiths said.It appears as though the king really is hitting his stride when it comes to his recovery, as he recently returned from a quick trip to Scotland with his wife, Queen Camilla.The couple, who last week celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary, spent a few days at Birkhall, their Highlands retreat located on the Balmoral estate, to mark the occasion.Charles’ love for the plush estate, which is nestled on the banks of the River Muick, is well-known, as he often visits whenever time allows.Charles has been forced to hit the brakes on much of his royal agenda since news of his ailing health came to light.Just days before jetting off to Scotland, the King was seen waving to well-wishers from the car as he headed to church at Sandringham.The previous week, he was seen joining other royals for Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle.While he’s made an effort to avoid commenting on speculation about his health, Charles did speak out about his own battle just days after going public with the news.The King said that well wishes from the public are “the greatest comfort and encouragement.”“It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations which support cancer patients and their families across the UK and wider world,” he said in a statement.“My lifelong

However, the show reportedly won’t be filmed at her $14 million Montecito, Calif., home.Filming reportedly starts on Tuesday, following her whirlwind trip to Florida for a Sentebale polo match with her husband, Prince Harry.The pair were in Palm Beach last week for the Royal Salute Polo Challenge, with proceeds going to the Duke of Sussex’s AIDS charity.“Netflix has rented a house in Montecito for filming,” a source told the Daily Mail on Monday regarding the cooking show.The series will “celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship,” the network said in a release.

decision to strip him and his family of taxpayer-funded UK security protection.The Duke of Sussex, 39, has now been ordered to pay 90% of the UK Home Office’s legal costs for defending the court’s initial ruling.In February, Sir Peter Lane, the judge of the High Court, ruled that there was no unlawfulness in stripping the Sussexes of their security in Feb. 2020.The court found that any departure from the policy was justified and that the decision was not influenced by unfairness.This now means that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, must pay out of pocket for their family’s security when visiting the UK.On Monday, Judge Lane said Harry should pay most of the Home Office’s legal costs, but noted that the government had committed “breaches” during proceedings which were “sanctionable.”“They have resulted in the case being largely contested by reference to new grounds, which have not been subjected to the normal permission process,” he said in an official order Monday.“The breaches resulted from misapprehensions on the part of the defendant as to the duty of disclosure, which this decision has had to address at some length.

unveiled her passion project to the world last month, and it seems as though her close friends have finally got their hands on what Markle has been working on.On Monday, some of the “Suits” alum’s close pals rushed to social media to show the jam jars they’ve received from the royal.Designer Tracy Robbins, who became close pals with Markle after they attended the “One Love” film premiere in Jamaica earlier this year, showed off her jam jar from the Duchess.“@americanrivieraorchard breakfast, lunch and dinner just got a little sweeter

bullying accusations leveled against the Duchess of Sussex.Cohen worked for the royal family since 2001 and was Markle’s private secretary in 2021 when the first complaint was made that the former “Suits” star created a hostile work environment. Although she would not elaborate in an interview with the Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, Cohen, an Aussie, told the outlet Monday, “I was only supposed to stay for six months but stayed for 18 — we couldn’t find a replacement for me and when we did we took them on tour to Africa with Harry and Meghan to show them the ropes but they left (quit) as well while in Africa.”Cohen stopped working for the royals in 2019.The Post has contacted reps for Markle and Buckingham Palace for comment.The allegations came just days before Markle and Prince Harry sat down for their bombshell tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey — in which the American Orchard Riviera founder claimed life in the royal family was “almost unsurvivable.” The HR review was privately funded by Queen Elizabeth II and carried out by an independent investigator in March 2021 after two royal staffers alleged they’d been bullied while working for her.Markle’s legal team denied any allegations of bullying — calling them a “calculated smear campaign.

declined a rumored invitation to Prince Harry’s home soil next month after it was suggested that they bring their children with them.The “Suits” alum, 42, has had a strained relationship with several senior members of her husband’s family, and even documented the hardships in several lucrative projects over the last few years.Amid reports that the Duke is reportedly planning to “reconcile” with his family during an upcoming trip to London, royal experts have suggested that peace between both camps is unlikely to happen until Markle receives an apology from the Firm.Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths said that the royals have “given up” on issuing any sort of apology to the mom of two.“I think that she is pushing for an apology,” Griffiths told GB News.

celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary, touched down at Aberdeen Airport Wednesday, from which they were whisked away to Birkhall, their Highland retreat located on the Balmoral Estate.While it’s unclear exactly how long the couple will enjoy some much-needed downtime, the pair — who flew from RAF Northolt in north-west London — are likely to spend some quality time given the chaotic start to the year the family has had.As Charles continues to receive cancer treatment, Camilla has been frequently stepping in for her husband to attend various royal engagements over the last few months.After landing in Scotland, the pair were driven for about an hour to their estate, where they’ll be spending some “private time” according to palace insiders.Charles’s love for the plush estate, which is nestled on the banks of the River Muick, is well-known, as he often visits whenever time allows.“It is such a special place, particularly because it was made by my grandmother. It is a childhood garden, and all I’ve done, really, is enhance it a bit,” the King told Country Life of the estate’s gardens. What’s more, the residence holds a special place in both of their hearts as it’s where they spent their honeymoon after tying the knot in 2005.Since then, they’ve made it their tradition to spend their anniversary at the estate each year.The pair, who tied the knot on April 9, 2005, celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary on Tuesday.They marked the occasion with a private celebration that included an intimate “romantic dinner,” according to the monarch’s former butler Grant Harrold.Charles, who is in the thick of his cancer treatment following his diagnosis in February, has been forced to hit the brakes on much of his royal agenda since

All my friends were Chelsea or Manchester United fans, and I didn’t really want to follow the run-of-the-mill team.”The Prince of Wales continued, “I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table that could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments.

fairy-tale marriage to the then-Prince Charles turned sour as the years went on, with the late royal often trying to confide in her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, for help.Diana — who died in a car crash in 1997 — married (now King) Charles, 75, in a lavish ceremony in 1981 and they divorced in 1996.“My Mother and I” author Ingrid Seward recently claimed that the Princess of Wales would lament about her failing marriage to the queen; however, the monarch allegedly didn’t do much to help.“Diana used to go to her private room in between appointments that the queen had, which were every 20 minutes, and burst into tears,” Seward told Fox News recently. “[She would say], ‘Everybody hates me, mama, and I hate my husband.

the news of her cancer diagnosis.And according to author Tom Quinn, Harry “really misses” the friendship he and Middleton once shared.“[Harry] really misses that warm, uncomplicated relationship, and he is torn between loyalty to his wife and regret about the loss of the woman he was so close to,” Quinn told the Mirror.“Losing Kate was Harry’s second great loss after losing his mother.”However, Quinn claims that the Duchess of Sussex does not share her husband’s sentiment when it comes to her sister-in-law.“Meghan doesn’t feel guilty about Kate, because she feels that Kate should’ve been the one person in the royal family to back her against every difficulty,” Quinn shared.“Apart from anything else, Meghan knew Kate was an outsider, so she just couldn’t understand why Kate always towed the royal line rather than supporting her, Meghan, the other outsider.”“Kate’s cancer diagnosis has been a real shock for Meghan, but she can see no way to patch up the relationship simply because it has become so poisonous,” the “Kensington Palace: An Intimate Memoir from Queen Mary to Meghan Markle” author continued.“She also doesn’t want people saying that she is trying to make things up with Kate just because Kate is ill,” he said, adding that the mom of two “still feels Kate was in the wrong and should apologize before they try to build bridges.”It was reported last week that Harry had found himself in a “painful place” following Middleton’s cancer news, especially after making so many revelations about his estranged family in his bombshell 2023 memoir, “Spare.”“When you do discover that your sister-in-law has cancer and you’ve written stuff that can’t be retracted, that’s quite a painful place to be in,” royal expert Tessa Dunlop

cancer.An X user recently shared that the royal family sent her back a sweet reply after she mailed a letter of well wishes for the Princess of Wales, 42.Middleton went through a planned abdominal surgery in January before being diagnosed with cancer.“Back in January when we were informed our beautiful Princess of Wales had undergone surgery, I sent her a card with our (my family and I) sincerest best wishes for healing and of course an abundance of love,” the fan penned on social media on April 6.She then noted that Kensington Palace replied to her, mailing her a letter with their insignia stamped.The post went on: “Today I received this beautiful acknowledgement and I can honestly say I shall treasure this my entire life.”She joked that her husband thought at first he “was going to have to get his suit out for a garden party (silly him).”Back in January when we were informed our beautiful Princess of Wales had undergone surgery I sent her a card with our (my family and I) sincerest best wishes for healing and of course an abundance of love.

announcing his cancer diagnosis publicly in February, the 75-year-old monarch was forced to hit the brakes on much of his royal agenda and has undertaken less public-facing duties.The following month, his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton revealed that she, too, is in the midst of her own battle with cancer.As Charles continues to receive treatment for his condition, the Prince and Princess of Wales have reportedly been at the center of ongoing succession talks — which have left them feeling “intensely anxious.”“News of Charles’ cancer has put William and Catherine in frightening proximity to ascending the throne,” former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown wrote, per the Mirror. “The prospect of it, I am told, is causing them intense anxiety.”Once William, the heir to the throne, becomes king of the United Kingdom, it’s expected that Middleton, 42, will be crowned queen and take on a lot more royal engagements than ever before.As two senior members of the Firm undergo treatment for their respective diagnoses, the royal family has been forced to undergo a major reshuffle.Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and his wife Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, have each taken on a more active role in the king’s absence.

drama “Scoop” hit Netflix on Friday.The film is a fictionalized portrayal of BBC reporter Emily Maitlis (played by Gillian Anderson), who interviewed Andrew for a “Nightsnight” segment in 2019 about his friendship with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.Andrew was seen out and about at Windsor Castle riding his horse during his outing. He wore a helmet, gloves, a sweater and an olive jacket to brave the cold weather.Rufus Sewell plays Andrew in “Scoop,” while Keeley Hawes was cast as the royal’s private secretary Amanda Thirsk and Billie Piper as TV producer Sam McAlister.The movie also reveals how Maitlis booked the disastrous interview, which showed Andrew sweating as he denied that he had sexual relations with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts when she was a teenager in the early 2000s.In 2022, Andrew was stripped of his royal and military titles by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, after Roberts brought forward a lawsuit against him and claimed he sexually abused her.

abdominal surgery in January, she has mainly kept a low profile, leading the world to wonder where she went.The Duchess of Cambridge, 42, finally put rumors to bed about her whereabouts when she announced she has cancer in a video statement last month.The BBC has now addressed complaints that they covered her health battle an “excessive and insensitive” amount, per Deadline.The British Broadcasting Cooperation said that while they know that “not everyone would have approved of the approach we took” to relaying the news of Middleton’s cancer, the coverage “reflected the significance of this story and the outpouring of support for the princess from around the globe.”“Our reporting made clear that this is a difficult time for the princess and the rest of the Royal Family; we have been mindful at all times to approach our coverage with sensitivity,” the BBC said.The company continued: “As part of our analysis, we examined the intense speculation there had been in the preceding weeks about the princess’s health. We also reported on Catherine’s request for privacy and detailed the statement from Kensington Palace regarding the princess having the right to privacy in relation to her medical issues.”“We always give careful consideration to the editorial decisions we make,” the BBC added.

her health woes to the world, saying doctors discovered her cancer during a planned abdominal surgery in January.The mother of three, 42, noted that she is now in the early stages of undergoing “a course of preventative chemotherapy.”According to royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith, the Princess came across as “sincere, dignified, poised, and she was forthright” in her delivery. However, it was no easy feat.“She is inherently shy, and for her to do that took a lot,” Bedell Smith told People.The author, who had penned over 16 books about the royals, said Middleton’s heartfelt message echoed a similar approach to the late Queen Elizabeth II’s speaking style.“When she ended with ‘You are not alone,’ it rang a bell with something that Queen Elizabeth would have said,” Bedell Smith shared.
