“Happy Father’s Day! And wishing a very special first Father’s Day to The Duke of Sussex,” the official Instagram account for the couple captioned a photo of the infant on Sunday.
“I’ve heard from very reliable sources that the new nanny who has been appointed by the Sussexes has had to sign quite an extensive non-disclosure agreement,” royal expert Katie Nicholl recently told Entertainment Tonight.

It’s not a Kardashian-Jenner party if it’s not over-the-top, and that goes for the kids, too. The family celebrated Penelope Disick’s seventh birthday and North West’s sixth birthday on Saturday, throwing them a joint Candy Land-themed party.
The lavish party was held at one of the family member’s extravagant homes, which was transformed into a real-life candy land, including a colorful walkway, an ice cream truck, and cakes by New York bakery Flour Shop, which were filled with sprinkles and chocolate. Of course, the party was overflowing with candy like gummies and lollipops.

Kardashian posted photos and videos of the party to her Instagram story, showing Penelope and North decked out in candy-themed outfits. North added some colorful ribbon to her hair as well as a few (necessary) candy necklaces.
Kardashian also posted a sweet tribute to her first child on Instagram, sharing photos of the mother-daughter duo over the years.
“Happy Birthday my sweet girl! The last 6 years have been the best of my life raising you and seeing you grow up. Mommy loves you forever and beyond!” she wrote.
While Penelope and North’s birthdays are about a month apart (Penelope’s is July 8 while North’s is June 15), the cousins usually have a joint celebration for the occasions. In 2018 the theme was unicorns while 2017 was all about Moana. Whatever they decide on for next year’s theme, it’s sure to be an extravagant get-together.

Harry couldn't help but gush about Archie after his birth, telling reporters, "I haven't been to many births. This is definitely my first birth. It was amazing, absolutely incredible. And as I said, I'm so incredibly proud of my wife and as every father and parent would ever say you know your baby is absolutely amazing. But this little thing is, is absolutely to die for. So, I'm just over the moon."
Kim Kardashian is often called the celebrity that’s famous for doing nothing, or people say that she’s famous for being famous. However, that’s not exactly true. Although Kim doesn’t have a traditional celebrity career — like a musician, actress, or athlete — you can’t say that she did nothing to achieve success. Kim actually worked very hard at becoming a celebrity. Let’s take a look at what Kim’s life was like before she was famous.
What was Kim Kardashian’s childhood like?

Way before everyone knew Kim’s name, she grew up in Beverly Hills. However, her childhood was far from average. She was surrounded by famous and wealthy people from a young age. Her father, lawyer Robert Kardashian, was close friends with NFL player O.J. Simpson and made headlines when he represented Simpson during his 1994 murder trial. Kim attended the private, all girls, Marymount High School, graduating in 1998.
Kim Kardashian was a closet organizer
Kim started her professional career as a closet organizer to the stars. She worked with celebrities like Serena Williams, Cindy Crawford, and Paris Hilton. In fact, Kim can be seen in scenes from Hilton’s reality show, The Simple Life, organizing Paris’s closet. In a 2006 interview with E!, Kim said: “I go to my client’s homes and I help them take whatever they don’t want and I sell it for them on eBay.”
Kim Kardashian worked the media with Paris Hilton
In the early 2000s, Kim became good friends with Paris. The pair could often be seen together, and many say that Paris is the reason Kim was able to become a “celebrity for doing nothing.” Paris may have taught Kim exactly how to get people talking about her, and how to get the media’s attention.
In an interview with Rolling Stone about this time period, Kim said: “We’d go anywhere and everywhere just to be seen. We knew exactly where to go, where to be seen, how to have something written about you. All you had to do is go to this restaurant, or this party, talk about whatever you want to talk about, and it would be in the paper the next day.”
The media strategy worked, and people began to know who Kim was. After a sex tape scandal, and an offer for a reality show, things really took off for Kim.
The Kardashian family owned DASH stores
In 2006, Kim, along with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, opened a retail store called DASH. It was a boutique-style store that sold clothing and accessories. The experience of running the stores was documented on their new reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
DASH opened its first location in Los Angeles, but soon they also had stores in Miami and New York City. Spin-off shows Kourtney and Kim Take Miami and Kourtney and Kim Take New York featured the opening of these locations.
After 12 years, the Kardashians decided to close the stores and focus on other parts of their careers. In a statement, Kim said: “We’ve loved running DASH, but in the last few years we’ve all grown so much individually. We’ve been busy running our own brands, as well as being moms and balancing work with our families. We know in our hearts that it’s time to move on.”
They may have been too busy to continue running the stores, but many speculated that they were also losing a ton of money. In fact, people who visited the store said it was often empty of customers, dirty, and filled with unpleasant sales people. The Yelp reviews of the stores back up these allegations.
Even though the DASH stores were ultimately not successful, the Kardashians have had plenty of success in other areas. Mainly, the reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has been running for a full 16 seasons and has multiple spin-off shows. At this point, there’s no stopping what the Kardashian name can accomplish.
It was meant to serve as the grand finale to the near-twenty year franchise, but things didn’t go according to plan for 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix, with the film failing to catch fire with fans and critics and scoring not only the worst reviews of the series, but also the lowest box office opening weekend.
Speaking to THR, long-time X-Men writer-producer and Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg has shared his thoughts on the film’s failure, stating that:
“”It clearly is a movie that didn’t connect with audiences that didn’t see it, it didn’t connect enough with audiences that did see it. So that’s on me. I loved making the movie, and I loved the people I made the movie with. I love these characters. I love these world. I’ll be super excited to see what Marvel does with them.”

This is the story of one of the X-Men’s most beloved characters, Jean Grey, as she evolves into the iconic DARK PHOENIX. During a life-threatening rescue mission in space, Jean is hit by a cosmic force that transforms her into one of the most powerful mutants of all. Wrestling with this increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean spirals out of control, tearing the X-Men family apart and threatening to destroy the very fabric of our planet. The film is the most intense and emotional X-Men movie ever made. It is the culmination of 20 years of X-Men movies, as the family of mutants that we’ve come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet — one of their own.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix sees Simon Kinberg directing a cast that includes franchise veterans Michael Fassbender (Magneto), James McAvoy (Professor X), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey), Tye Sheridan (Cyclops), Kodi Smit-McPhee (Nightcrawler) and Evan Peters (Quicksilver) alongside new additions Kota Eberhardt (The Persian Connection) as Selene, Andrew Stehlin (Hacksaw Ridge) as Red Lotus, and Jessica Chastain (Molly’s Game) and Lamar Johnson (Kings).
Julia Roberts would have been part of a very different "Pretty Woman" if the fates hadn't intervened.
The Oscar winner revealed that the original script was very dark and gritty compared to the rom-com it's now known as.
During Variety's "Actors on Actors" interview, Roberts, 51, told fellow actress Patricia Arquette that she auditioned, at first, for a very different movie.
“So many, many, many years ago, one of my early auditions was for a movie called '3,000,'” Arquette said. “Most people don’t know that '3,000' was the original 'Pretty Woman' script. And the ending was really heavy.”

Roberts described how that "3,000" ended with her character being shoved out of a car and someone "threw the money on top of her, as memory serves, and just drove away, leaving her in some dirty alley.”
“So it really read like a gritty art movie,” Arquette added. “When you first read it, it was that incarnation.”
Roberts explained that the "small movie company" that owned the movie rights "folded over the weekend" so she was out of a job pretty quickly. But soon after, Disney picked up the script and the producer.
“I thought, ‘Went to Disney? Are they going to animate it?’” the "Homecoming" star added. “[Director] Garry Marshall came on, and because he’s a great human being, he felt it would only be fair to meet me, since I had this job for three days and lost it. And they changed the whole thing. And it became more something that is in my wheelhouse.”
“Thank God it fell apart," Roberts added because she felt she "couldn't do" that original role.
