Meghan Markle Combines Past Acting Experience and Motherhood in Latest Project with Geena Davis

Meghan Markle is exploring moms in the media.

The Duchess of Sussex, who worked as an actress on shows such as Suits before marrying Prince Harry and welcoming their two children, 4-year-old son Prince Archie and 2-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet, joined forces with Moms First and the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media for a new study about the representation of mothers in entertainment. Meghan and Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation funded the study, according to Vanity Fair, which was first to report the news.

“My past experience as an actress, and now today as a producer and mother, have amplified my belief in the critical importance of supporting women and moms both behind the lens and in front of it,” Meghan, 42, said in a statement, according to the outlet. “This report about the portrayal of mothers in entertainment highlights the gaps we need to fill to achieve true representation in the content we create and consume, and I’m honored to support this work through the Archewell Foundation.”

Davis told Vanity Fair, “The representation of motherhood seemed like such a throwback. It didn’t reflect modern reality anywhere near as closely as I had hoped or imagined.” Continue reading Meghan Markle Combines Past Acting Experience and Motherhood in Latest Project with Geena Davis

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Quietly Launch New Sussex.com Website

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just got an online makeover.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex quietly launched a new website, Sussex.com, on Monday. The site encompasses the latest news about the couple, bios for Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, as well as links to their Archewell Foundation organization and Archewell Productions hub.

The homepage features a photo of Prince Harry and Meghan in Germany at the 2023 Invictus Games closing ceremony in September. The image of the duo smiling and clapping is a favorite of the pair, as they also chose it as the picture for their holiday card last year.

Under Meghan’s coat of arms, which incorporates Prince Harry’s crest, the text on the homepage reads: “The office of Prince Harry & Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

The most recent update on the news tab is Prince Harry’s appearance on Thursday at the NFL Honors in Las Vegas, where he presented the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year to Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward.

“Prince Harry has long advocated for the power of sport for healing and building community. He was honored to present this award and highlight the importance of giving back,” the page stated.

Their Archewell Foundation website also underwent a makeover to coordinate with the new website. Instead of a beige background, the non-profit organization’s homepage features a similar blue theme.

The couple’s former website, SussexRoyal.com, now redirects to the new address. A pop-up message on the webpage reads: “This site was established in 2020 and sets out the work streams of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex prior to their move to the United States. To learn more about the Royal couple and their philanthropic endeavours, click here.”

After Meghan and Harry married in May 2018, news about their royal work appeared on the @KensingtonRoyal accounts alongside updates about Prince William and Kate Middleton. The following year, the couple launched a separate Instagram page, @SussexRoyal, as part of the plan to establish a separate office from William and Kate.

The @SussexRoyal Instagram account stopped being updated after Harry and Meghan stepped back from their senior royal roles in 2020, and its final post was shared in March 2020. Continue reading Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Quietly Launch New Sussex.com Website

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at Invictus Games Countdown

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are hitting the ice for a brand-new Invictus Games sport with one of Canada’s famous crooners.

Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, stepped out for the third and final day of the Invictus Games One Year to Go celebration in Canada, joining Canadian Armed Forces veteran families and Invictus alumni at the Hillcrest Community Centre in Vancouver.

The Duke of Sussex tried wheelchair curling alongside a special guest, Michael Bublé. Cheering for his shots (or saying, “Oh no!” when an attempt didn’t go as planned), Harry was clearly in the zone as Bublé cheered him on.

Meghan watched from the sidelines, clapping and smiling.
Canada is also a special place for Prince Harry and Meghan on a personal level, and the Invictus Games marked an important moment early in their relationship. The couple famously made their debut as a couple at the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto, where Meghan lived while filming Suits.

For the joyous occasion, Meghan leaned into earth tones, looking like a vision of sophistication in a chic one-shoulder, floor-length column dress in an olive green hue by Canadian designer Greta Constantine, paired with black Manolo Blahnik heels. She accessorized with a gold chain necklace by Logan Hollowell and dainty gold drop earrings, kept her makeup natural and glowy complete with a matte nude lip, and styled her dark brown hair in a sleek, side-parted low bun.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Cozy Up in Canada on Valentine’s Day for Invictus Games Countdown

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are having a Valentine’s Day to remember in Canada.

On Wednesday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out for the start of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025’s One Year to Go celebrations. Bundled up in their winter gear for the below-freezing temperatures, the couple held hands as they made their way onto the snowy mountain to speak with athletes in adaptive skis and their guides.

The Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 will be the first winter edition of the competition through the introduction of winter sports. Next February, athletes can go for the gold in alpine skiing, snowboarding, biathlon, Nordic skiing, skeleton and wheelchair curling for the first time in addition to the core Invictus sports of indoor rowing, sitting volleyball, swimming, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby.

“As Invictus continues to adapt and evolve, I am extremely excited to announce that the Invictus Games Foundation has selected Canada to host the first-ever Winter Hybrid Games in 2025,” Prince Harry said in a statement around the news.

For the snowy outing on Wednesday, Meghan wore winter white with a winter hat by Burberry that she previously wore back when she was dating Prince Harry. Her footwear choice was the Sorel Joan of Arctic boots — a pair of shoes that she’s had in her closet for at least a decade! Harry opted for a black Eddie Bauer jacket and his Merrell Moab 3 Mid boots.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Have Plans for Valentine’s Day—And Their Netflix Deal

Aweek after making waves with a trip to Jamaica, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have another international trip in the works. On Friday, the Invictus Games Foundation announced that the couple will be traveling to Canada on February 14 to attend the One Year to Go event for the 2025 Vancouver Whistler Invictus Games. Along with the news, the foundation shared new photos of Meghan and Harry at the 2023 Games in Düsseldorf taken by their friend Misan Harriman.

Next year, the Invictus Games will return to Canada for the first time since Toronto hosted in 2017, where Meghan and Harry made their official debut as a couple. Planning for the 2025 Games, the first to be held during winter, began when Vancouver’s successful bid was announced in April 2022. “The Invictus Games Vancouver-Whistler 2025 will offer a global platform to expand the range and profile of winter adaptive sports,” Harry said at the time. “With deep respect, I’m also pleased to share that the Games in Canada will be held in partnership with the First Nations, in the spirit of truth and reconciliation with indigenous communities.”

Meghan and Harry last made a public trip to Canada in November, when Harry dropped the first puck at a hockey game between the Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks as a part of the preparation for the 2025 Games. Later, he and Meghan were photographed celebrating in the stands.

More news about the couple’s Archewell Productions studio and its partnership with Netflix came out at a Wednesday Netflix event. According to Hello!, the company’s Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria told the audience at its Next on Netflix presentation that Meghan and Harry have been working on a number of projects, including some with Brandon Riegg, the streamer’s vice president of unscripted and documentary series. Riegg, who joined Netflix in 2016, oversaw the company’s expansion into reality TV, which has produced hits like Queer Eye, Love Is Blind, and Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.

“They have a couple of unscripted things they’re working on with Brandon,” Bajaria said. “And they actually have like a bunch of development, they have a movie in development, a [scripted] series that they’re working on. So all very early development, with a movie, a TV show and a couple of unscripted shows.”

Meghan Markle Gives Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet a Shout Out When Asked About Holiday Traditions

For Meghan Markle, the holidays are about her children: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, hit the red carpet at Variety’s Power of Women event in Los Angeles on Thursday night. Just a week away from Thanksgiving, Meghan was asked by a reporter about her favorite holiday tradition.

“That’s a great question,” she replied. “Our little ones are little, and we’re enjoying every moment of it.”

Meghan and Prince Harry welcomed their son, Archie, in May 2019, and their daughter, Lilibet, made them a family of four in June 2021. In their holiday card released that year, they said, “Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa,’ and Lili made us a family.”

Meghan previously spoke about how their family spends the holidays during a November 2021 appearance on her friend Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show. Asked about their Thanksgiving plans that year, Meghan shared, “I love to cook. We’ll be home and just sort of relax and settle in. It’s our second Thanksgiving at home in California, so it will be nice.”

DeGeneres, who also lives in Montecito, then joked, “What time should we show up?” Continue reading Meghan Markle Gives Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet a Shout Out When Asked About Holiday Traditions

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Oprah and More Attend Kevin Costner’s Santa Barbara Fundraiser

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were among the big names who joined Kevin Costner at a One805 charity fundraiser in Santa Barbara, California, on Friday.

Meghan Markle Joins Prince Harry at Invictus Games Event

Meghan Markle is joining in the fun at the Invictus Games!

Meghan and Prince Harry turned up to watch one of the latest contests at the 2023 event in Düsseldorf, Germany on Wednesday morning, where they met some of the competitors at the wheelchair basketball contest between Ukraine and Australia before sitting in the stands — and taking part in a celebratory group wave.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted chatting with, signing autographs and posing for photos with competitors and spectators at the outing.

Meghan, 42, and Harry, 38, also watched a children’s event, handing out medals and giving high fives to the young participants.

The Düsseldorf event is the sixth Invictus Games, following previous events in London, Orlando, Sydney, The Hague and Toronto — where Meghan and Harry made their first public appearance as a couple in 2017.

The adaptive sports competition for injured, sick and wounded service personnel and veterans is the brainchild of Harry and was set up in 2014.

Having originally appeared at the 2023 event alone, Harry was reunited with Meghan after she flew into Dusseldorf from Los Angeles on Tuesday. She is expected to remain in Germany until the closing ceremony of the Games on Saturday, which follows Harry’s 39th birthday on Friday.

“It is so special to be here, and I’m so sorry that I was a little late for the party,” Meghan said at a special party for Family & Friends shortly after her arrival on Tuesday, before revealing that the couple’s kids Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2, had been partly responsible for the delay.

“Just like so many of you, we know this is about family and friends and the community that Invictus has created, that Fischer House has created, and so I had to just spend a little bit more time getting our little ones settled home,” the Duchess of Sussex added in her speech.
“Getting milkshakes, doing school drop off and then I just landed a couple of hours ago. I am thrilled that the first event that I can do with Invictus is here with all of you.”
