Kate Middleton Thinks Life's Too Short for Prince William and Prince Harry's Feud - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

The royal family just can’t escape the negative press. And, in recent weeks, it has grown even worse. This time, the focus is on Prince William and Prince Harry.

Many sources close to the royal family claiming that the two are still feeling the effects of their long-running feud. Still, other members of the royal family might be getting fed up with it up, including Prince William’s wife Kate Middleton.

When did the royal feud start?

The origins of the feud between Prince William and Prince Harry began in 2016 when Prince Harry told Prince William that he was serious about marrying American actress Meghan Markle. Supposedly, Prince William asked Prince Harry if he was sure about making a move so quickly, and with someone that he had only been dating for a matter of months.

According to reports, Prince Harry didn’t like that Prince William questioned his relationship, even if Prince William did so with good intentions, and started to withdraw from his brother. The feud rumors intensified over the next year after the royal wedding between Markle and Prince Harry.

Amongst reports that the Duchess of Sussex was having difficulties getting along with the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry and Prince William officially separated their households. Royal fans saw this as proof that the brothers were not as close as they once were, even though the palace stayed silent about any supposed feud. 

What did Prince Harry say about the feud?

In an unprecedented move, Prince Harry actually addressed the feud in a recent interview with British TV personality Tom Bradby. In the interview, Prince Harry addressed a wide variety of different topics, but when Bradby asked him about any tension between him and his older brother, Prince Harry didn’t shy away from the difficult question. He admitted that “stuff happens” but that “we’ll always be brothers.” 

While Prince Harry didn’t specifically address why the feud started or what exactly caused the tension between the two, he did end his statement by saying that, “we’re certainly on different paths at the moment, but I’ll always be there for him, as I know he’ll always be there for me.” For a member of the royal family to talk about problems within the family is certainly not the norm, and his statements about the feud caused a media firestorm.

Kate Middleton doesn’t like the drama

Prince William has remained utterly silent about the feud, as befits a future king. After all, Prince William has always been held to a stricter standard than Prince Harry has.

However, a source recently claimed Duchess Kate has been making her feelings on the affair well-known in the royal family circle. The source states that Middleton doesn’t like seeing the drama currently surrounding Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. But, at the same time, she doesn’t want to get too involved in it. 

The same source reveals that Middleton has thoughts about the feud between her husband and his younger brother. Supposedly, Middleton believes that “life’s too short to make enemies” and really wants the brothers to “heal the rift” and move on.

Middleton could also be privately trying to help Markle’s morale improve: The source states that she has reached out to Markle over the phone and knows that she is struggling. While no one yet knows the extent of the situation in the royal family, it’s clear that something is going on – and it is only a matter of time before tensions boil over.

Fans Think Meghan Markle's Wedding Dress Had an Unusual Connection to Jennifer Lopez - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

It has been a year and a half since Meghan Markle’s splendid wedding ceremony, where she and Prince Harry officially tied the knot. Still, fans can’t stop talking about the fairytale event, including the celebrity guests, the multi-cultural ceremony, and, of course, Markle’s wedding style.

While there were many guesses in advance as to what Markle’s dress would look like, when she finally stepped out of the car on the big day — revealing her classic, beautifully-designed dress — fans were truly in awe. As it turns out, Markle could have taken inspiration for her dress from a surprising source.

There was lots of speculation about Meghan Markle’s wedding dress

When Markle and Prince Harry announced their engagement in November 2017, everyone’s thoughts immediately turned to their impending nuptials. After all, theirs would be the biggest royal wedding since Prince William and Kate Middleton got married in 2011.

Most royal fans were intensely curious as to what Markle’s wedding style would be. It was undoubtedly a nontraditional engagement, considering Markle had been married before and was an actress by profession. 

There was a lot of speculation that Markle would choose a non-white wedding dress, due to the fact that it would be her second wedding. Many people assumed that Markle would favor a form-hugging, risque style for her wedding dress.

Ultimately, however, Markle would come out of the gate with a dress that was inspiring, stunning, and perfectly designed — just the thing for a woman marrying the love of her life in a fabulous ceremony.

Meghan Markle’s wedding dress was very traditional

On the day of the royal wedding, all eyes were on the car carrying Markle to the steps of the chapel. When she stepped out of the car, jaws dropped. Defying the rumors and predictions, Markle’s wedding dress was a very traditionally-designed white wedding dress with a boat neckline and three-quarter-length sleeves.

The dress was designed by Clare Waight Keller, a British designer working for the iconic fashion house Givenchy. In an interview, Keller revealed that while there were a few variations in the design during the process of creating the dress, she and Markle decided on the overall look very quickly. 

Markle’s veil, which reportedly took almost 500 hours to create, had numerous small flowers sewn throughout the lace in order to create the delicate, detailed look that the bride-to-be wanted. Of course, Markle also had a second dress, which she reserved for the wedding ceremony.

That gown, a figure-hugging, sleeveless one, stood out as being much more glamorous and trendy than her wedding dress. Both dresses definitely caused a splash, with fans flooding the internet to see all the pictures of Markle’s wedding looks. 

Did Meghan Markle use Jennifer Lopez as inspiration for her wedding dress?

'The Wedding Planner' costume designer finally responded to comparisons between Meghan Markle's wedding dress and the one worn by Jennifer Lopez https://t.co/AJTwpB2ydJ

— Insider (@thisisinsider) October 25, 2019

The 2001 film The Wedding Planner, is known as one of the most beloved romantic comedies of all time, cementing Jennifer Lopez’s status as a queen of romantic comedy. Recently, the film’s costume designer, Pam Chilton, spoke out, revealing that many fans have noticed a startling similarity between Markle’s wedding dress and the one worn by Lopez in one of the film’s biggest scenes.

Chilton stated that she gets “a lot of texts” about how similar the two dresses look. And while she thinks it is just a coincidence that they are so similar, she does admit that Markle is about the right age to have watched the film when she was younger and perhaps taken a bit of inspiration. 

There’s no doubt Duchess Meghan, who had worked hard to establish a career as an actress, would have idolized Jennifer Lopez as a strong, independent woman who forged her own path in life.

Meghan Markle Had a Super Relatable Makeup Mishap Yesterday - Cosmopolitan.com

• Meghan Markle had a super relatable makeup mishap at the Poppy Factory’s Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey yesterday.
• Meghan accidentally left a makeup smudge on veteran's coat and he was so excited about it he took a picture and said "I’m never washing that!"

---

Yesterday, Duchess Meghan Markle joined Prince Harry at the Poppy Factory’s Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, and had an extremely relatable makeup mishap while hugging veteran William Allen, who took part in the D-Day landings during World War II.

The moment went down when Meghan leaned in to hug and kiss William, leaving a smudge of powder on his jacket when she pulled away. Something I think we can all agree has happened to literally every single one of us. Except in my case I'm also leaving giant mascara stains and sometimes, if the person is lucky enough, some of my lipstick.

And naturally, William didn't mind at all—and was in fact so excited about meeting the Duchess (and having her makeup smudged on his jacket) that he posed for a photo with it and said "I’m never washing that!" in reference to the smudge.

Royal reported Rebecca English even shared a photo of the sweet moment on Twitter, writing "And here is D-Day veteran William Allen—a remarkable man who celebrates his 100th birthday next month. Meghan hugged and kissed him, leaving a little make-up smudge on his jacket. ‘I’m never washing that!’ he said."

More than 1 million Olympic tickets in latest Japan lottery - Fox News

Frustrated residents of Japan will get another shot at attending next year's Tokyo Olympics when organizers on Friday put more than 1 million tickets into the latest lottery.

Tokyo has generated unprecedented ticket demand inside and outside Japan. Organizers say 3.57 million tickets have already been awarded to Japan residents in two lotteries.

Organizers have repeatedly declined to say how many tickets have been sought. But demand is believed to be at least 10 times over supply— probably more — with widespread complaints about the scarcity.

"We have been doing our best to meet people's expectations as much as possible," Tokyo ticket director Hidenori Suzuki told Associated Press. "But unfortunately, we have a limited number of seats."

Suzuki acknowledged he's received repeated requests to disclose the level of ticket demand. He said he hoped to do that sometime after the latest lottery ends. It opens on Wednesday and runs until Nov. 26, with results announced in mid-December.

The demand has driven up hotel prices and even created concerns about how Tokyo's efficient train system will handle the July 24 to Aug. 9 games.

Organizers say 7.8 million tickets are available for next year's games. They say at least 70% will go to the general Japanese public, which would be about 5.5 million. The rest are sold outside Japan, or allotted to sponsors, national Olympic committees or the IOC, or international sports federations.

Suzuki was also imprecise about the number of tickets available this time.

"We haven't decided exactly how many yet," he said. "It's not going to be way above 1 million."

Jonathan Jensen, who studies sports marketing at the University of North Carolina, said Tokyo organizers have a reason to be vague about ticket numbers.

"It's about the potential embarrassment that very few tickets will actually be part of a public sale," Jensen said in recent email to AP. "And uncertainty around how many tickets need to be held back to ensure commitments to sponsors and others."

More than 60 companies have signed up as local Olympics sponsors, generating just over $3 billion and shattering all records for local sponsorship.

"When you have so many sponsors you have very large guarantees to deliver tickets to them as part of their sponsorship packages," Jensen wrote.

This is the last exclusive chance for residents of Japan. Another ticket offering in the spring will be open to Japan and non-Japan residents on a first-come, first-serve basis.

This is the first time tickets for boxing are included in the Japan lottery.

The International Olympic Committee stripped the boxing body AIBA of the right to organize the tournament, citing corruption in finance, refereeing, and judging. The IOC is now organizing the tournament after a long delay.

Tickets will be unavailable for the marathons. The IOC, citing Tokyo's summer heat, is moving that event to the northern city of Sapporo against the wishes of Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike.

It's unclear where the marathons will be run in Sapporo, and if people who bought tickets to see the finish inside Tokyo's new national stadium will get refunds.

Organizers hope to raise about $800 million in ticket sales. This revenue makes up a large part of the privately funded operating budget of $5.6 billion.

A national government audit report last year said Tokyo would spend about $25 billion to organize the Olympics, all of which is public money except for the operating budget funding.

Organizers dispute the figure and say it's half that much, part of a debate about what are — and are not — Olympic expenses.

Did Meghan Markle Really Have No Idea About Terrible British Tabloids? - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, she may have assumed that she was going to be living a fairy tale. She got to marry her prince and the two of them took off in a horse-drawn carriage as the world watched.

However, Markle may have been a bit disillusioned when it came to what it really meant to be part of the most famous family in the entire world. In a very short amount of time, the former American actress went from living a relatively quiet life in Toronto, where her popular show Suits was filmed, to being so closely watched that she could barely make a move without it becoming headline news.

A documentary about Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry was recently aired, and viewers got an inside look about how Duchess Meghan was adjusting to her new life as the Duchess of Sussex. Fans found out she is a bit overwhelmed by the massive amount of attention that she receives every single day, especially the negative side of things.

So, did Markle really have no idea about the terrible British tabloids?

Ever since fans found out that Markle was in a serious relationship with Prince Harry, she became one of the most sought-after women in the entire world. Lately, things haven’t been going so well for the duchess in regards to how the media portrays her.

According to The National, Markle was initially a delightful addition to the royal family. She was modernizing the monarchy in ways that no one ever did before, and to say that Duchess Meghan was a breath of fresh air was an understatement!

That has all started going in the opposite direction recently, and due to media “bullying,” the Duchess of Sussex has filed a lawsuit against the relentless British tabloids, while the Duke of Sussex released an unexpected statement asking the press to back off.

Meghan Markle’s British friends warned her that this would happen

Naturally, Markle was beyond excited when she began dating Prince Harry. Yet, dating someone so high-profile and in the public eye doesn’t come without drawbacks.

Harper’s Bazaar reports that Markle’s British friends warned her about the pressures of the tabloids, and how her life would never be the same. The duchess admits that she knew royal life wouldn’t be simple, but she wasn’t prepared for just how intense it would be. She was told that the tabloids could potentially destroy her entire life, yet she didn’t take the advice that she was given.

Duchess Meghan is living in a totally different world than the one she was in just a few years ago, and she now feels that the constant attacks on her are untrue, not to mention completely unfair.

Meghan Markle didn’t understand the impact

Duchess Meghan herself admits that she didn’t understand the impact that the tabloids would have on her life. Daily Mail reports that the duchess was somewhat naive about the situation, which is why she ignored the advice she was given. In the recent documentary, Markle reveals how as a native American, she had no idea what she’d be dealing with as a member of the royal family.

Chances are, Duchess Meghan was in the dark when it came to how things were going to turn out. During her acting career, she was somewhat well-known, but she didn’t experience anything close to the level of fame she has now. Luckily, she has an amazing and supportive husband who will do whatever it takes to help her through this difficult time.
