The Prince and Princess of Wales have not visited India in over a decade. Their last visit was in April 2016. It’s sort of wild to think about all that happened in 2016. I mean, that was just two months before the Brexit vote, which happened around the same time Prince Harry saw Meghan on social media. Crazy moment in history. Anyway, that royal tour of India and Bhutan was not well-received in the UK, because back then, William and Kate were regularly criticized for their laziness and because they were hiding out in Norfolk, doing f–k all. Ten years later, things change and yet they stay the same. Anyway, “sources” are now saying that Kate’s imperial wig is going to be dragged to Mumbai later this year, because no one cares about William’s Earthshot keenery unless Kate is there, gurning and jazz-handing.

The Princess of Wales is set to join Prince William on a huge diplomatic mission to India. Following the success of her visit to Italy this week, where she returned to official international duties for the first time in three and a half years, sources have confirmed the Princess is relishing the prospect of accompanying her husband to South Asia in November.
‌
Plans are being made for the Prince and Princess to attend William’s glittering Earthshot Awards in Mumbai, while also taking on a politically sensitive trip to the capital Delhi.

The Prince of Wales will host the sixth instalment of his environmental awards in Mumbai, with the princess marking the third time she has attended the awards having previously accompanied him at the star studded event in London in 2021 and Boston in 2022.

Kensington Palace aides and mandarins at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office are confident the timing is now right for the Prince and Princess to launch their biggest joint venture in more than four years, especially following the success of the King and Queen’s State Visit to the US earlier this month.

A royal source said: “The Prince and Princess of Wales stand ready to assist the country however they can. The plans are in the early stages but it promises to be an amazing experience.”

[From The Daily Mirror]

“A huge diplomatic mission” and it’s just Earthshot. Granted, if they go to Delhi, they might be tasked with some soft-diplomacy. Anyway, all of this “Kate must go to India with William” energy is super-interesting for several reasons. One, Kate was totally on strike after the 2022 Caribbean Flop Tour and y’all know she doesn’t want to go to another country where she’ll have to talk to people who are not white. Two, Prince Harry and Meghan’s Australian trip still has Bill and Kathy all the way f–ked up and it’s incredibly funny to watch it play out in real time. Three, William went solo to the past three Earthshot Prize ceremonies and it’s been disaster after disaster after disaster. They had to ship in (and pay?) models to appear with William, and he’s made a horse’s ass out of himself repeatedly on multiple continents. After the disasters in Brazil last year, someone at the Foreign Office came up with the bright idea of sending Kate along to babysit her catastrophe of a husband.

One of the best parts of Netflix’s Harry & Meghan docuseries is that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave people an extensive look at their 2018 wedding. There were tons of never-before-seen photos behind-the-scenes at the Windsor wedding, the reception at Windsor Castle, and the big party at Frogmore House. Well, for the Sussexes’ eighth wedding anniversary, today, Meghan posted even more photos on her Instagram!!

Some of these we had glimpses of in the Netflix series, but many of the photos from Windsor Castle and St. George’s Cathedral are new-to-us. Given all of the bullsh-t and sabotage attempts, it’s remarkable how Harry and Meghan stayed so centered, and centered on each other, on their wedding day. I mean, Harry kept his eyes trained on Meghan the whole day. Meghan was so calm! I would have slapped the sh-t out of like half of Harry’s family, Three Stooges-style, as I walked down the aisle. But Meghan has grace and class.

Anyway, a lovely way to celebrate a wedding anniversary. While I’m loath to compare-and-contrast with the other couple, this is what people actually want to see from a public couple on their anniversary – some cute wedding pics, maybe a nice couple photo. For Prince William and Kate’s anniversary last month, they gave people that extremely weird family photo which even made royal commentators uncomfortable.

There are two wedding anniversaries happening this week: the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s eighth wedding anniversary (today), and Pippa Middleton and Terribly Moderately Wealthy James Matthews’ ninth wedding anniversary (tomorrow). Pippa and TMW James married quickly after they started dating, although they had been circling each other for years. The British tabloids always made it sound like TMW James was obsessed with Pippa for years, while she merely settled for him after her big push to marry a titled aristocrat crashed and burned. Still, it’s become a good marriage for her and she seems much happier than her sister. Here are some highlights from The Mail Remembers: Pippa and TMW James’ Origin Story.

When Pippa Middleton married nine years ago in May, it was the culmination of James Matthews’s reported 10-year pursuit to win her over. But perhaps Pippa and the hedge fund manager, now 50, may never have even crossed paths if it weren’t for the ‘ruthless’ nature and determination of the Princess of Wales’s sister. At least that’s the opinion of Sunday Times bestselling author and royal biographer Tina Brown, who detailed Pippa’s rise in her book The Palace Papers.

‘Pippa’s social ascent seems more calculated than Kate’s,’ said Brown, who claims her nature was evident from her student days. ‘At Edinburgh University, she shared an apartment with two boys whose fathers were dukes.’ An alum told the biographer: ‘As soon as Pippa arrived at Edinburgh, she was assiduous about joining the right social circle. She was very charming about it, but quite ruthless in cultivating the ‘right friends,’ Brown added.

Pippa’s romantic quest concluded with billionaire hedge fund manager James, heir to the Scottish feudal title of Laird of Glen Affric and son of Eden Rock Hotel owners, David and James Matthews, who was, according to sources, always had his eye on Pippa. In 2016, the Mail on Sunday revealed that their tryst involved a decade of waiting, meticulous planning – and a dazzling campaign of gifts and treats that extended to her parents, too.

Thanks to the millions earned from Eden Rock Capital Management, the financial company named after his parents’ Caribbean hotel, James was in a position to woo Pippa in the most extraordinary style. It turned out that even before they became an ‘item’, James had flown the whole Middleton clan to St Barths and his parents’ hotel. They travelled on his £3 million private jet.

In 2016, the Mail on Sunday revealed that James had been patiently pursuing his bride-to-be for a full ten years – strategically planning his advances while waiting for Pippa to outgrow the eight-year age gap between them. And while other privileged young men might busy themselves with a series of girlfriends, James used the time to build a business and a fortune so vast he could treat her like a princess. Friends say he knew Pippa was the one from the moment she set foot on St Barth’s and confidently introduced herself to him. But with Pippa taken and an eight-year age gap between them, James was forced to bide his time.

Though he always stayed in contact, he had to watch from afar for six long years as Pippa finished her university studies and wrapped up relationships with two serious boyfriends, banker JJ Jardine-Paterson and cricketer Alex Loudon.

[From The Daily Mail]

Yeah, I’ll talk sh-t about the Middleton family, but Pippa seems to have a good marriage and she seems happy, so good for her. TMW James seems to support her in every way, and they have three children and live a somewhat quiet life. Of course, I’ve always had my doubts about James’ wealth – I believe he’s a millionaire, for sure, but the Middletons always promoted him as “terribly rich” and/or a possible “billionaire.” I think he and Pippa live quite comfortably, but if he was truly rolling in money, he and Pippa probably wouldn’t be involved in all of these petty disputes and scandals in and around Berkshire. Scandals like Pippa’s foray into running a petting-zoo business, which they just sold because it was drowning in debt. Petty disputes like their years-long campaign to shut down a public-use trail which cuts through their property.

Speaking of that footpath drama, the Daily Mail recently had a piece where they quoted Pippa and James’ neighbors at length over the closing of the footpath. One resident said: “They’re not even the proper Royal Family.” LOL. A local councillor named Tony Vickers said: “The path has been used for generations but money talks. The Middletons are not well connected with the community. There’s a sense they’re splitting the community. There are a number of very wealthy anti-ramblers but ordinary people and people who like walking would like to see it open.” Another resident said: “We have so many famous people living around here – footballers, other celebrities, they don’t make a fuss. They come here to live in peace, like we all do. Apart from the Middletons.” Pippa and TMW James are really tearing the community apart. Tacky, nouveau-riche drama. Just what I’d expect from the Middletons.

The past 72 hours have been full of good works from the Duchess of Sussex and melodrama from her biggest “critics.” Over the weekend, Meghan flew to Geneva, Switzerland to inaugurate the Lost Screen Memorial. Meghan’s speech at the inauguration happened on the eve of the WHO’s World Health Summit in Geneva, and Meghan stuck around the city to meet with Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and have dinner with some government and humanitarian officials. Dr. Tedros presented Meghan with a WHO field vest “as a gesture of my regard for her commitment to promoting and protecting people’s health.” Many “critics” are mad about that.

Before Meghan even arrived in Geneva, Tom Sykes at the Daily Beast/Royalist Substack was trying to bash her for daring to post a closet selfie, which included the back of Lili’s head. Sykes’ argument – which was picked up by many other outlets – was that Meghan is a hypocrite for bashing social media while using social media. Keep in mind, the Lost Screen Memorial is specifically about kids using social media without guardrails. The Sussexes’ anti-social media campaign is centered on how destructive it is for young people. As a commenter noted, Meghan’s critics sound like they’re arguing that one can’t be against drunk driving and enjoy a cocktail at the same time. And I will always believe that Meghan’s biggest “critics” are furious that she doesn’t show her kids’ faces online and that no one really knows what these kids look like.

And finally, Meghan attended a WHO dinner in Geneva. She posed for a selfie with a Finnish politician named Wille Rydman. Sykes just published a new screed about it, because Sykes read Rydman’s Wiki page. Apparently, Rydman is pretty problematic, with a history of sexual-abuse accusations and a history of racism. Sykes reached out to the Sussexes’ team and their spox basically said that Meghan was approached for selfies from several people at the dinner and she politely obliged, and Meghan was obviously not aware of Rydman’s whole deal. The spox said: “Understandably, vetting the background of every person who asks for a selfie, is not possible.” It’s true. It’s impossible to vet every rando who asks her for a selfie at a WHO dinner. It’s not like Meghan decided to set up several photo-ops with the guy who ordered the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, after all. It’s not like she agreed to take suitcases full of cash from the Bin Laden family.

Nick said that he ran into Jessica in first class, where he and Vanessa had been sitting with their three kids and Jessica was sitting with her mother, Tina Simpson. He also mentioned that Jessica’s three children were seated elsewhere with her estranged husband, Eric Johnson. The seating arrangements were mentioned as a context detail, but people latched on to the fact that Jessica was in first class while her children were in coach. Since there’s been some debate about it online, Us Weekly spoke to an expert about the proper etiquette of families booking seats in different airline class sections.

While appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the [Nick Lachey] confirmed he unexpectedly crossed paths with his ex-wife nearly 20 years after their divorce. During the interview, Lachey, 52, recounted that the two families “spent six and a half hours on a flight to Hawaii together.” Though, he quickly clarified that by “spent” he meant they were simply in the same “vicinity.”

“Her mother and her were together,” Lachey says of the “Irresistable” singer, adding that the kids and Simpson’s estranged husband Eric Johnson “were all on the plane, but not with us.”

“The kids were in a separate class of service?” Cohen asks.

“Yes,” Lachey confirms. “A separate class of service.”

Simpson, 45, and the former professional football player, 46, share three children: daughters Maxwell, 14, and Birdie, 7, and son Ace, 12. The pair wed in 2014 and she announced their separation in January 2025 after 10 years of marriage.

According to Lachey’s account of the flight, Johnson remained with the kids over the course of the trip. But the story raises a popular family travel debate: is it appropriate to book a seat in a different class than one’s kids?

Longtime educator and parenting coach Josephine Hunt tells PEOPLE the decision depends on a variety of factors, including the child’s age, length and timing of the flight, any medical needs, the child’s ability to advocate for themselves and proximity to trusted siblings.

She says the question depends less on a specific age and more on “the child’s emotional maturity, regulation skills, communication abilities, anxiety level, temperament, travel experience, sibling dynamics, and ability to independently problem solve in unfamiliar environments.”

“There is also an important resilience component to this conversation,” she adds. “Gradually building independence through manageable experiences can help children develop confidence, adaptability, and self-trust. However, resilience develops best when challenge is paired with appropriate support, not abrupt overexposure to situations children are not yet emotionally prepared to handle.”

“Ultimately, parents know their children best. The decision should prioritize emotional safety, developmental appropriateness, and realistic expectations over convenience, upgrades, or assumptions about maturity based solely on age,” Hunt concludes.

[From People]

Real talk: I don’t think it’s a big deal that Jessica and her mom flew separately from the rest of the family. It’s not like she left her children alone to fend for themselves. They were flying with their father. Jessica has no responsibility to buy a first class ticket for Eric now that they are separated. Also, the first class section only has so many seats. I think the ultimate irony here would be if Jessica’s children couldn’t fly first class because the Lacheys were already taking up six spots.

I absolutely think that families who fly coach should not have to pay to sit together. That said, first class is a luxury upgrade that customers pay a lot to sit in. As a parent with children who fly fairly regularly, I agree with US Weekly’s expert that it depends on the child. Not all kids are great travelers. Some kids can handle long flights while others simply cannot. It’s the same for adults! If I paid thousands of dollars to fly first class, I wouldn’t want to take a six-and-a-half hour flight with a kid who isn’t mature enough to behave on a plane.

‘Tis the season for college graduations, and this past weekend was a big one in Atlanta. Spelman College’s class of 2026 graduated, including Angelina Jolie’s eldest daughter Zahara Jolie. Zahara left home for one of the best HBCUs in the country four years ago, and now she’s got her degree! Reportedly, Angelina was in Atlanta for the graduation, as were some (if not all) of Zahara’s siblings. But it looks like Brad Pitt did not go. It also looks like Zahara’s entire college experience was under her mother’s surname – Zahara Marley Jolie.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt is moving on to a new chapter in life — in more ways than one. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter graduated from Spelman College over the weekend. And while taking the stage to accept her diploma, she was announced as “Zahara Marley Jolie” — noticeably leaving out “Pitt” from her name.

The 21-year-old received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the Atlanta-based college.

This isn’t the first time she has dropped the last name of her estranged father at a public event, however.

When Zahara joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha organization back in 2023, she proudly declared herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie.” In a video from the sorority’s induction ceremony, she shouted it while shaking her hair and performing a series of moves. At the time, social media users pointed out that one of her brothers also dropped their father’s last name years prior.

[From Page Six]

Again, to my knowledge, Shiloh is the only kid to legally change her name. But it seems like the four oldest (Zahara, Shiloh, Pax and Maddox) dropped “Pitt” from their names at school/work as soon as possible. I wonder what the twins will do long-term – reportedly, Vivienne dropped “Pitt” from her name in production credits too. Incidentally, TMZ had this story straight from Team Jolie:

Brad Pitt’s estrangement from his daughter Zahara has not cooled off … with sources telling TMZ that the actor did not reach out ahead of her graduation from Spellman. A source close to Angelina tells TMZ that “Zahara’s mom and siblings, who have been involved over the four very special years, were present and cheering her and her Spelman sisters on.”

The source added, “Nothing prevented him from showing up for her. Or ever visiting her. The day was about all she accomplished. Not whether he was willing to attend.”

Sources tell TMZ that Brad did not contact anyone about getting a ticket to her graduation ceremony, which took place over the weekend.

[From TMZ]

My opinion: “A source close to Angelina” has every right to put this out there. Because we’ve seen, over the past decade, Brad’s constant victim act when it comes to the kids, like Angelina *made* the kids hate him, like Angelina *forces* him to be a terrible father and a terrible person. This was a moment for Brad to act like an adult towards his adult daughter, who was graduating from college. He could have showed up. He chose not to. This source also stopped Team Pitt from lying about it too, because you know some “poor Brad, he would have loved to go to the graduation, if not for Mean Angie” story was coming.

People always joke about how Viola Davis walks like a truck driver, but I will never make fun of Viola’s gait! Some of us just walk like truck drivers. Some of us struggle to walk in heels. I tend to clomp and stomp around no matter the footwear. All of which to say, I admire women who can look graceful in heels and women who can navigate tricky terrain in heels. That’s not me, at all. All that being said, I feel like the Princess of Wales’s fans are perhaps setting the bar in hell, given that they’ve now been praising Kate for “walking” for more than a week. The root of this is that Princess Kate attended a Buckingham Palace garden party two weeks ago. She wore a very “Kate” look, including beige heels. She didn’t sink into the grass at all. As I said, this is now a week-long story: Kate walked and she didn’t stumble at all, like a big girl!

The Princess of Wales hosted her first garden party of the year this month alongside her husband, Prince William – and one moment in particular impressed royal fans. Kate, 44, wore a stunning Self Portrait dress and a matching black-and-white hat paired with her go-to Ralph Lauren stiletto heels at Buckingham Palace in London.

The royal couple was animated as they chatted with guests, and the Princess effortlessly walked between conversations despite wearing high heels on muddy grass.

To the amazement of royal watchers and attendees at the event, Kate didn’t sink into the grass and appeared to “glide” across the Palace lawn.

In astonishment, one person wrote: “Walking on grass in stilettos is not for the weak… but Princess Catherine makes it look effortless.”

Another noted: “She does make it look like she is gliding. Such a classy woman.” A third said: “It can be done, but takes practice. Catherine is a master of it.”

Rushing to the comments with theories, one person said the royal was “walking on the balls of her feet”, while others suspected she must have transparent “heel stoppers” to stop herself from sinking into the grass.

[From Hello]

It’s not even that I’m opposed to praising women for something like this. As I said, I wouldn’t have been able to walk in heels (period) or walk in heels on grass. It’s fine – just say “wow, she really knows how to walk in heels!” But for Kate in particular, one gets the sense that even her fans struggle to find her positives. That’s why there’s so much infantilization of Kate, who is a 44 year old woman and mother of three, but according to her fans, she’s a big girl who does big, important work by spending years and years saying sh-t like “not enough people know that the early years are important.” Her lack of substance is why there’s this outsized focus on superficial praise for “walking” and “going vroom on a plane.” And as always, the elephant in the room is that Kate’s “fans” would have been the first ones to call Meghan a eco-terrorist war criminal if she dared to walk on grass in heels.

Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem unleashed a profanity-laced critique at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, taking aim at world leaders including Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Bardem said toxic masculinity, a central theme in his new film “The Beloved,” stems from “the bad education that we have received for many ages,” adding that he, too, is a product of that culture.

“I’m 57 years old, coming from a very machista country called Spain,” he said.

The “No Country for Old Men” star pointed to violence against women in his home country as a stark example of how toxic masculinity can become normalized.

“There is an average of two women killed monthly by their ex-husbands or ex-boyfriends, which is horrible,” Bardem said. “Just that amount of women being murdered — it’s unbelievable. And we’ve kind of normalized it. It’s like, ‘Well, yeah, it’s horrible.’ I mean, are we f–king nuts? We are killing women because some men think thye own them? They possess them?”

Bardem, who is married to fellow Hollywood star Penelope Cruz, then argued that some world leaders have the same mindset.

“And that problem also goes to Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin and Mr. Netanyahu,” he said. “The big balls man saying, ‘My c-ck is bigger than yours, and I’m going to bomb the sh-t out of you.’ That is f–king male toxic behavior that is creating thousands of dead people.”

[From HuffPost]

As someone who watches an inordinate amount of Dateline and 48 Hours and 20/20, I agree, wholeheartedly, that there is a fundamental f–k up in society where men are clinging to the centuries-old false belief that they own women, and this plays out on a micro scale in our individual lives and globally to the point where I’d say it’s more than obvious that men’s time in power should be ended and labeled the failed experiment that it is/was. But what do I know, I have boobs. Anyway, I love that there’s no pretense with Javier Bardem — if he’s speaking out about something, it’s because he’s passionate about it. This authenticity is what makes his performances so grounded. It’s a cliche, but putting yourself in someone else’s shoes really does pave the way for empathy and understanding. I imagine acting and exploring different kinds of manhood is a personal form of conversation that Javier has with himself, before taking thoughts like this out into the wider world of public opinion. I mean, a man who’s played everything from Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men to King Triton in the live-action Little Mermaid ought to have some pretty interesting thoughts on masculinity! Overall, it’s just so refreshing that we’re hearing adult men openly discussing how to be good, better men, and I’m not surprised it’s talented character actors leading the charge.

I wish I loved anything as much as David Beckham loves sucking up to royalty. David finally got his knighthood last year after years and years of royal bootlicking, but he’s still showing up for some in-person photo-ops with King Charles whenever Charles wants to get in the papers. On Sunday, King Charles attended the Chelsea Flower Show, and of course he stopped by Sir David’s “garden” at the show.

The King joined Sir David Beckham to tour his own garden at the Chelsea Flower Show, which included a nod to their shared love of beekeeping. The King’s Foundation Curious Garden was designed to reflect the monarch’s passion for plants and the importance of nature.

It also has plenty of references to Brand Beckham, a King’s Foundation ambassador, including gnomes and roses named after them both. The garden features a beehive, inspired by the King and Sir David’s shared enthusiasm for beekeeping and producing natural honey, and seven raised beds in a nod to Sir David’s football shirt number.

The King leaned forward to sniff the rose named in honour of Sir David by his daughter, Harper, to celebrate his 50th birthday.

The King was joined for his annual visit to the show by the Queen, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

Perched on a shelf in the garden were four small gnomes with name tags: Charles III, Sir David, Alan, for co-creator Alan Titchmarsh, the television gardener, and Frances after Frances Tophill, the garden’s designer. The ban on gnomes was lifted this year for only the second time in the show’s history, the previous time being 2013 to mark the flower show’s centenary.

[From The Telegraph]

… There was a ban on gnomes…? British people are so fussy. Anyway, David Beckham co-designing a garden for the Chelsea Flower Show is fine, maybe even cool. But David’s obsequiousness towards Charles will always be funny to me. And I’ll always wonder if Victoria gets the ick when she sees David like this.

Meanwhile, another piece of David Beckham news came out recently – David is officially the UK’s first billionaire athlete, per the Sunday Times. He and Victoria are now worth £1.185 billion, and a good chunk of it is David’s stake in Inter Miami.

About a week before the Cannes Film Festival began, Jacob Elordi pulled out of the Cannes jury. He was supposed to serve as a jury member alongside Demi Moore and Chloe Zhao, among others. Elordi’s reason for the withdrawal was that he injured his foot and he didn’t think he would be capable of (literally) walking around the Palais. So Jacob withdrew and he found himself with a lot of free time rather suddenly. So… it’s funny that he immediately went on vacation with his new girlfriend Kendall Jenner. His foot doesn’t look too injured on those Hawaiian beaches.

Per TMZ, Jacob and Kendall were spotted on a private beach in Hawaii, and I truly wonder how much TMZ paid for the exclusive photo. An “eyewitness” told TMZ that Kendall and Jacob looked like they were on a “cute little date” on the Kauai private beach. All of this comes after Jacob and Kendall were apparently quite coupled-up at Coachella too. They’re really dating. You know what I enjoy? Jacob has such a strong physical type – all of his romantic partners are dark-haired and dark-eyed (if not doe-eyed), all of them have similar features too. You can absolutely see the throughline between Kaia Gerber, Olivia Jade and Kendall Jenner.

Today is the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s eighth wedding anniversary. Eight years full of drama, but the past six years have been focused more on healing and setting down their roots in California. During Prince Harry and Meghan’s trip to Australia, Meghan even joked about a “vow renewal,” which isn’t really happening, but maybe it should. There was just so much drama around their wedding, I wouldn’t blame them at all if they wanted a do-over. Anyway, the Mail tried to gin up some melodrama over the anniversary and they could only muster up Tom Bower, ranting lies about this and that. Thankfully, someone bothered with some new gossip for the anniversary: a psychic has done a reading for Harry and Meghan.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will mark eight years of marriage on May 19, the anniversary of their globally watched 2018 wedding at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. The ceremony captured the attention of people around the world and made many believe the monarchy was entering a more modern era.

The years since the start of their relationship have unfolded very differently. After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back as senior working royals in 2020, relocated to California, and publicly criticized royal life in interviews, documentaries, and Harry’s memoir, their relationship with the Royal Family has remained strained. Now, astrologer and tarot reader Inbaal Honigman predicts that the timing surrounding their anniversary could trigger emotional conflict behind the scenes.

According to her reading, the Sussexes’ marriage falls under the zodiac sign Taurus because of their May wedding date, and she believes a major astrological shift arriving on their anniversary could raise tensions. “The couple’s marriage was born under Taurus,” Honigman explained, adding that Mars, “the planet of passion, moves into the sign of Taurus … The placement of Mars, planet of fiery emotions, in Taurus for the upcoming seven weeks means that tensions will be running high, but their strong marital bond will survive, and they’ll be stronger than ever by the time Mars leaves Taurus, on June 28, 2026.”

According to Honigman, the Sussexes’ bond will likely survive the pressure, but the period may still bring difficult conversations and heightened sensitivity. “This period, starting right on their anniversary, could shake up their relationships with the other royals. Mars is a tricky planet.” She also suggested that one of them could potentially make public comments they later regret, describing Mars as “impatient and outspoken.”

[From Reality Tea]

I agree that the next two months or so are going to be full of pressures for Harry and Meghan. At some point, Ravec is going to have to announce their decision on the Sussexes’ police security in the UK. They need to do it before Harry comes to the UK in early July for the Invictus One-Year-To-Go events. The Sussexes also need to decide if they’re going to Birmingham as a family, and King Charles needs to decide if he wants to spend any time with his ginger grandchildren. The trials and tribulations will come from the British media and royalist media, all of whom hellbent on doing everything they can to sabotage Harry and Meghan. Oh, Lili’s birthday is coming up. Lil’ ginger Gemini.
