Since Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, royal watchers have often remarked that her sister-in-law Kate is looking noticeably more glamorous. Now, I can reveal why.

The Duchess of Cambridge has secretly drafted in a talented stylist who has been advising her on her wardrobe.

Will the Royal Baby Have Red Hair?

while back I located a picture of Meghan's half-brother -- and he appears to be a redhead!

Baby Sussex might have that specific combination, we'll have to wait & see. Maybe they'll show us on those steps?

Meghan Markle is reportedly poised to defy four years of Royal tradition by snubbing the Lindo Wing where the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Diana both gave birth.

Instead, sources claim the Duchess of Sussex will opt for a maternity unit near to her and Prince Harry's home in Windsor - Frogmore Cottage - to avoid the 'stress' of the massive global interest in her pregnancy.

And Meghan's decision to rebuff St Mary's Hospital's famous wing is also reportedly so the mother-to-be is not seen to be 'copying' Kate.

The Queen is set to give up driving on public roads following Prince Philip's horror car crash just two months ago, it has been claimed.

Her Majesty is the only person in the UK permitted to drive without a licence, but is understood to have agreed to stop driving on the advice of her security team after the Duke of Edinburgh's crash.

The Queen, who will be 93 next month, is known to enjoy driving in her fleet of cars that include Land Rovers and Jaguars, as reported by The Sunday Times.

The Duchess of Sussex's favourite charities have been inundated with donations after a Twitter campaign encouraged fans to support her causes.

Fans of Meghan, 37, celebrated the upcoming birth of Baby Sussex with the hashtag #GlobalSussexBabyShower.

They asked one another to share donations or other items with charities associated with the Duchess of Sussex.

Charities including the Mayhew, an animal welfare charity, and CAMFED, which works to educate girls in rural Africa, were among those that received donations from the campaign.

Possibly cooler heads & security concerns will prevail?

(Seems no one is concerned about 'copying' the Duchess of Cambridge in the tiara department....JMHO. YMMV

Still, all the best to Baby Sussex & family!

Where are they living now? I haven't kept up the last few weeks. Have they already moved out to Frogmore or are they still at Kensington Palace?

Thanks! So how does that work with MM wanting to have the baby out in the hospital near Windsor? If she goes into labor at KP, is she planning to have them take her out to Windsor to deliver? Kind of odd. Or are they living somewhere else these days?

A day at the Bahrain Grand Prix proved another chance to strengthen the famous family bonds for The Duchess of York who took to Instagram to share a selfie at the races tagging her ex-husband, daughter Beatrice and her new beau.

Sarah Ferguson, 59, joined ex-husband Prince Andrew, daughter Beatrice, 30, and beau Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, an Italian property tycoon, for another day in a week full of '#familytimes'.

The unlikely mother, daughter and boyfriend trio were spotted just three nights earlier partying at a well known Fergie favourite - Annabel's, a club in Mayfair, London.

Not sure. Yet I don't put a lot of stock in the reports of a change in Hospitals. Most of them seem to have a negative slant to them. IMO

O.K., so Meghan and Harry has invited you to their jack n' jill baby shower. They will be serving finger sandwiches, lavendar-lemon infused water, tea, and vegan-gluten free-dairy free cake.

Meghan has requested no fancy gifts please, just the basics and most necessary things any baby would need.
You R.S.V.P. yes. What are you bringing for Baby Windsor-Sussex as a gift?

Feel free to play along

I'm gifting them:
-a baby nail clipper set/nose booger suction set
-baby handmade moccasins and a 12 pack of baby socks (half of them will mysteriously disappear, where do all those baby socks end up?)

 

[Bravo]
