Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Souvenirs Have Been Scrubbed From The Royal Family's Website - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

If you were hoping to grab some wedding souvenirs featuring the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, you are out of luck, at least, you are out of luck on the official website for the royal family. In recent days, the team behind the royal’s site has been hard at work scrubbing the gift shop of any mention of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In fact, searching for their names bring up precisely zero results. Is the sudden change to the website proof that the royal family is angry with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?

The royal family scrubs Meghan Markle and Prince Harry from their official website

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the bold decision to step back from senior royal life. A desire to forge their own path and the British press’ treatment of the couple seemingly informed their decision. Now, however, it looks like the royal family is trying to pretend the couple never existed, and the palace staff is busy removing any trace of the couple from the royal website’s souvenir shop.

Those interested in the royal family can shop for souvenirs and trinkets from the Royal Collection directly online. The webshop houses everything from sweets to china to home goods. Most of the pieces in the collection seem to celebrate a monumental moment in the royal family’s history. Souvenirs commemorating royal weddings, the birth of royal children and wedding anniversary have all been produced. While the majority sell out quickly, they remain on the website for viewing. That is, unless a couple chooses to step back, apparently.

Is the removal of their souvenirs a snub?

Amid “Megxit,” followers of the royal family, are looking for any hint that Queen Elizabeth II is angry with the couple for stepping down from royal duties. While the queen’s statement on the matter was concise and didn’t suggest any hint of anger, followers believe there is trouble brewing beneath the surface. Is the removal of the couple’s china from the royal website an indication of a rift? It looks like it.

According to Radar Online, the china has long since been sold out but was available for viewing directly on the royal website. In the wake of “Megxit,” all images of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been removed from the site. While the royal family would have followers believe that the sold-out nature of the product is the reason that it’s been removed from the site, that doesn’t seem likely. Princess Eugenie’s china, which is also sold out, still appears on the website. Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank in October 2018.  

The removal of the couple’s souvenirs didn’t occur until after they announced their decision to step back from royal life, and set down roots outside of the United Kingdom. The timing certainly seems to give credence to the idea that the royal family is scrubbing the couple from royal history.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex aren’t the only royals to step down from duty

While the prince and his bride’s decision to walk away from royal life was shocking, it’s not entirely unprecedented. Throughout history, several royals have shunned their responsibilities in favor of a quieter life, and one man’s decision to step down actually led to the current-day royal family. King Edward VIII stepped down from the throne for love, leading to the current line of royals.

King Edward VIII stepped down so he could marry Wallis Simpson, an American socialite who had been twice divorced when she met the king. Prince Edward VIII stepped away from royal life when it became clear that the government would never support his marriage. They went on to marry and remained together until the death of King Edward VIII in 1972. Simpson never married again and was buried next to her late husband in 1986. According to Biography, the pair’s love story is considered one of the greatest of all time. King Edward VIII’s decision to step down led to the appointment of King George VI. King George VI was the father of Queen Elizabeth II.

It looks like Channing Tatum is no longer a single man - CNN

Tatum posted an image on Friday night of himself posing as the "Bang Bang" singer kisses his chin. They're both wearing unicorn ears and horns.

It is the first picture of Jessie J on the "Magic Mike" actor's Instagram since her birthday in March. The couple had briefly called it quits late last year from their relationship that started in 2018.

The singer told The Times newspaper in June that there was the difficulty of pressure in the early days of their relationship, saying they were photographed before the relationship even really began.

"We've needed time to get to know each other," she said. "We've just had our first holiday together, which was wonderful, but that's all I'm saying."

They got together after Tatum split from actress Jenna Dewan, with whom he has a daughter named Everly. They announced their split in April 2018 after nearly nine years of marriage.

CNN's Lisa Respers France contributed to this report.

Vancouver Island where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are staying hit by earthquake - Page Six

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s Canadian residence is off to a shaky start.

The Canadian island where the couple has been holed up since breaking off from the Royal Family was struck by an earthquake Friday, according to reports.

The 4.5-magnitude quake hit around 1:35 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, about 30 miles off the coast of Ucluelet on the western edge of Vancouver Island.

Felt the earthquake in Vancouver. Did you? And most importantly are you prepared for a big one?

— S Chandra Herbert (@SChandraHerbert) January 24, 2020

Residents described frightening tremors, which could be felt as far as 150 miles from the earthquake’s center, according to the Vancouver Sun.

The earthquake is British Columbia’s second in a month; tremors ranging in magnitude from 3.6 to 6.0 were reported off Vancouver Island at the end of December, while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were visiting during a 6-week holiday.

There were no reports of damage or injuries from the Friday quake as of Saturday morning.

Markle has been living on the island since early January, along with baby Archie and the couple’s two dogs. Harry joined them Tuesday.

How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Exit May Mean Prince George Will Never Be King - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

As third in line to the throne, most royal watchers assume that Prince George will become the King of the United Kingdom someday. But Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s stunning exit has rocked the royal family like never before, and one expert believes George will never sit on the throne as a result of their decision. Here’s a look at the heartbreaking reason Prince George may never be King.

The future of the monarchy is in jeopardy

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently stepped down as senior members of the royal family in a move that reportedly blindsided the royal family. While Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, and Prince William scrambled to right the ship, there is one person who believes the monarchy will never be the same.

During an interview on a radio show in Australia, psychic Georgina Walker predicted that Harry and Meghan’s decision will forever change the royal family. According to Express, Walker believes that the monarchy will undergo big changes in the coming years, and one of those will make Prince William the last person to sit on the throne, meaning Prince George would never be King.

“I knew it was going to happen, I predicted the Queen would refresh the monarchy to make it a younger approach,” Walker shared. “I said when George was born, he would never be King.”

The psychic added that Megxit will have lasting consequences for the royals and could lead to significant changes in the near future which would directly affect Prince George and his siblings. She also believes that Prince Harry and Meghan will have a difficult time funding their endeavors now that they are no longer receiving money from the crown.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their departure at the beginning of 2020. Not only are they becoming financially independent, but they are also splitting their time between the UK and Canada.

Prince Harry speaks out

In the days and weeks following Megxit, Harry met with senior members of the royal family to iron out the details of his exit. As a result of their decision, Harry and Meghan are giving up their royal titles and will no longer rely on public funding.

The Sussexes are also going to pay back the $3 million that was used to renovate their home in Windsor, Frogmore Cottage. They have yet to buy a house in Canada but are reportedly looking for a place to settle down.

In the meantime, Prince Harry recently spoke about his decision to step down during a royal engagement in London. Harry revealed that he did not make the decision lightly and that he saw no other way to give his family the life they deserve.

“Our hope was to continue serving the Queen, the Commonwealth, and my military associations, but without public funding. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible,” Harry shared. “I’ve accepted this, knowing that it doesn’t change who I am or how committed I am.”

Prince Harry added that he hopes leaving the royal spotlight will lead to a more peaceful life for his wife and son, Archie Harrison. Meghan Markle has yet to comment on the situation.

Fans react to Megxit

Royal watchers around the world have not reacted kindly to the news of Harry and Meghan stepping down.

Some fans have voiced their support for the couple, but others believe that Meghan has been planning an exit strategy since day one. There has even been some speculation that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will get divorced in the coming years.

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image © PA

Fans have pointed out that Meghan has a tendency to quit things around the two-year mark. Her first marriage, for example, only lasted 23 months. Her stint in the royal family was also cut short well before two years.

That does not mean Prince Harry and Meghan are headed for a split, but it is something to watch out for.

What happens if Prince George sits on the throne?

If the psychic is wrong and Prince George does become King one day, Kate Middleton’s title will change (assuming she is still around to see George sit on the throne).

When William inherits the crown after Charles, Kate will be given the title of Queen Consort. Her duties will be very similar to what Prince Philip has done over the years as Queen Elizabeth’s consort.

In the event that Kate outlives William, she will take on a new title once George sits on the throne. George’s spouse will be given the title of consort, while Kate will be called Queen Mother.

In her new role, Kate Middleton will support Prince George’s reign and still appear in public on behalf of the royal family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have begun their new life in Canada with Archie, here’s hoping they find the happiness and quite life they deserve.

Did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Choose British Columbia Because of Their Privacy Laws? - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made their desires known, they want to be left alone by the press. In October 2019, the prince issued a stern warning to the British media to leave him, his wife and his young son alone. In a scathing statement, Prince Harry accused the press of bullying Meghan Markle. The warning did little to slow coverage, and in January 2020, the couple announced that they’d be stepping down from royal life in pursuit of more privacy. They appear to have their sights set on British Columbia as their new home, and there might be an excellent reason; British Columbia has pretty intense privacy laws.

Are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry really settling in Canada?

Prince Harry arrived on Vancouver Island last week. He joined his wife and young son, leading most royal family followers to assume the pair are planning to set down roots in the area. That might not actually be the case, though. The couple may be merely vacationing in the area while they consider their options.

Rumors were swirling that they were eyeing a $35 million mansion in Vancouver’s most exclusive neighborhoods, but according to the New York Times, the listing agent claimed to be completely unaware of any interest by the couple.  There is some belief that the couple may be considering Victoria for its moderate climate, as well as Toronto. Before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Markle called Toronto home and forged plenty of friendships there. It’s possible she’d like to head back to an area where she felt supported.

Speaking of support systems, Markle’s mother resides in California, and there was some belief that the royal couple would eventually settle into the sunny landscape of Malibu to be close to Doria Ragland. Heading to California would offer the couple very little in the way of protection from the paparazzi, though, and, instead, would place the family in their direct sights. People believe New York City might be on the couple’s shortlist, as well. Regardless of the possible United States locations on media shortlists, Canada, no matter what city, seems like their most likely home base, and that’s because of the country’s privacy laws

What privacy laws does Canada have?

Privacy laws exist throughout Canada, but British Columbia appears to have laws specifically about photography and video. In fact, The Privacy Act specific to the province allows private citizens to sue individuals if they can prove that their privacy has been invaded when they had reasonable expectations of privacy. Surveillance and eavesdropping are also considered violations of the law.

The laws, however, have not been tested when it comes to a celebrity just yet. Canada, by and large, does not have the paparazzi culture that exists in other parts of the world. It’s also impossible to tell how the country’s laws would translate to individuals who are not citizens of the country. For example, it’s hard to say if the regulation would be enforceable on individuals who travel to Canada to photograph the couple. By and large, privacy laws in the province and the overarching federal regulations have been primarily used for organizational data breaches.

Will Harry and Meghan be left alone if they do settle in British Columbia?

While British Columbia does have privacy laws on the books, the Huffington Post notes that they’ve very rarely been challenged, and winning a case would be difficult. Any photos taken in a public space of a public figure would likely be considered fair game, explains Roger McConchie, a Vancouver-based lawyer who spoke with the Huffington Post. Since the royal couple are considered public figures, their privacy is far from a sure thing.

If Markle and Prince Harry were to have their pictures taken in public, like in a park or out to eat, those pictures would likely be considered publishable. Photos that are taken using telephoto lenses of the couple in a home or in a private space, however, are subject to privacy laws, and any publication who chooses to use them could be sued, according to the privacy regulations currently on file.

The BBC suggests that the couple was probably safer from the lens of paparazzi back in the United Kingdom. Paparazzi photos of the couple have not been published since their wedding, although the media firestorm surrounding their movements is part of the reason they stepped away from the royal family, according to reports.

'Sopranos' actress testified that Harvey Weinstein raped her. An expert may now shed light on why Annabella Sciorra stayed quiet for years - CNN

"The Sopranos" actress testified Weinstein entered her Manhattan home in the winter of 1993-1994, chased her around and pinned her to the bed before sexually assaulting her.

"I felt overpowered because he was very big," Sciorra told jurors Thursday.

Sciorra is one of six women expected to testify that they were attacked by Weinstein as state prosecutors, who opened their case this week, aim to establish a pattern of sex crimes against multiple victims to support two predatory sexual assault charges.

Due on the stand Friday is Dr. Barbara Ziv, a forensic psychiatrist who testified for the prosecution in the trial of Bill Cosby. Prosecutors in Weinstein's case plan to have Ziv testify about why victims may delay disclosing a sexual assault, factors that determine whether and how a victim may interact with their attacker after an assault, and why a victim may lack signs of an outward trauma after an assault.

Prosecutors allege the movie tycoon raped and sexually assaulted young women and actresses over decades. Sciorra first publicly spoke about the attack in an October 2017 New Yorker story as part of a wave of accusations against him.

Weinstein's attorney during opening statements this week aimed to discredit the state's "prior bad acts" witnesses, attacking their credibility and picking apart their time lines. Ziv, meantime, will offer only speculation based on her expertise with sexual assault victims -- not the witnesses in this case -- defense attorney Damon Cheronis said Wednesday.

Weinstein also faces three other charges related to his alleged rape of Jessica Mann and for allegedly forcing oral sex on Mimi Haleyi. Sciorra's claims fall outside the statute of limitations for other crimes.

Sciorra says she confronted him after the assault

Sciorra is best known for her Emmy-nominated role on "The Sopranos" as Gloria Trillo, Tony Soprano's mistress.

She met Weinstein at an industry event in the early 1990s and became part of Miramax's circle, attending events and dinners around New York City, Assistant District Attorney Meghan Hast said in the trial's opening statements.

In the winter of 1993-1994, after a dinner at an Irish restaurant in Manhattan, Weinstein offered Sciorra a ride to her apartment, she testified. She went in, put on a nightgown and was getting ready for bed when he knocked on the door. When she opened it, he pushed his way inside, Sciorra said.

Weinstein unbuttoned his shirt, she testified, grabbed her arm and dragged her into a bedroom.

Sciorra kicked, punched and fought him until he held her arms above her head on the bed and raped her, she testified. Weinstein pulled out of her to ejaculate on her duvet and her nightgown, she said. He then performed oral sex on her.

Sciorra did not put up much of a fight, she testified, because her body began shaking. She did not tell police about the incident, and she does not remember telling anybody about it for years, she said.

"I thought he was an OK guy. I felt confused," Sciorra testified. "I felt ... like I wished I had never opened the door."

He showed up at her hotel room, Sciorra said

The attack left Sciorra shocked and traumatized, Hast told jurors Wednesday. She grew thin and sad, and began drinking and cutting herself, the prosecutor said.

Sciorra confronted Weinstein about the incident weeks later at a dinner in New York, the actress testified Thursday. His response was "very menacing," she said.

"That's what all the nice Catholic girls say," he said, according to her testimony. He leaned into her and said, "This remains between you and I," she said

Less than a year after the alleged rape, Weinstein sought Sciorra out in London, where she was filming a movie. He showed up at her hotel room and became angry when she refused to open the door, Hast said.

At a different event at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Sciorra learned she was in a hotel room next door to Weinstein, the actress testified. One morning, she opened the door and found him standing there in his underwear, with a bottle of baby oil in one hand and a movie tape in the other, she said.

She ran to the back of her room and began hitting the call buttons on the hotel phone, she testified. Hotel employees eventually came and Weinstein left, she said.

Defense attorney Donna Rotunno pressed Sciorra on her lack of memory on specific details and dates.

In opening statements, the defense team told jurors Sciorra's friend will testify that she described having consensual sex with Weinstein.

Will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Regret Leaving the Royal Family? - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

It’s a big step for Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex to leave their life as royals behind, as Harry shared their decision was not made lightly. The couple felt they had no other option for a peaceful life, but will they regret their decision? One royal expert shares why the couple may find the grass isn’t greener on the other side.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are giving up the royal life

After intense media and public scrutiny and the emotional interviews they gave for their documentary, it shouldn’t have been so surprising that Prince Harry and Meghan would announce they wanted to exit the royal family.

Queen Elizabeth worked to iron out the specifics and shared her support of their decision in a statement that noted: “Following many months of conversations and more recent discussions, I am pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family.

She continued: “Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family. I recognise the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last two years and support their wish for a more independent life… It is my whole family’s hope that today’s agreement allows them to start building a happy and peaceful new life.”

The Sussexes felt there “was no other option”

The couple are giving up their HRH titles and any public funding as they transition to a life in Canada, a decision Prince Harry called their only option.

During a speech he gave at a London charity dinner, Prince Harry shared: “It brings me great sadness that it has come to this. The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back is not one I made lightly. It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges.

He added: “And I know I haven’t always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option.”

Will they regret the decision?

They’ve given up their royal duties and Prince Harry had to give up his military titles, plus they’ll be repaying the taxpayer money used to refurbish their Frogmore Cottage home. There were sacrifices made, but they will keep their own private patronages and associations.

One royal commentator believes that Prince Harry may come to miss the old life he had. Richard Fitzwilliams told Express: “Although the agreement will be reviewed in a year’s time the Sussexes have, in reality, been exiled.”

He continued: “They are, however, among the most famous couples in the world and, as we are already seeing, an intrusive media cannot have enough of them.”

He shared: “Independence has its price! They may have a meteoric rise with top Hollywood celebrities to back them, but they will always be followed by the press. Meghan may be in her element, Harry may prove totally adaptable but he also could miss what he has given up.”

Fitzwilliams further claimed that Prince Harry’s “loss of his military links will “deeply upset Harry.” The expert noted, “Since he can no longer wear uniform, this is something he will feel deeply.”
