Congratulations are in order for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who just welcomed a new royal baby. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex became proud parents of a healthy baby boy.

According to the couple’s official release, royal baby was delivered at 05:26 on Monday and it weighs 7-pounds, 3-ounces. They took the chance to thank the public for their “shared excitement and support during this very special time in their lives.”

The royal family also released an official statement, expressing their delight, and congratulations quickly started pouring in from all around the world. Prince Harry did a TV interview at Windsor Castle shortly after welcoming his newborn son, and described it as the most amazing experience.

“I’m so proud of my wife. As every father and parent would ever say, they’re baby is absolutely amazing – but this little thing is absolutely to die for, so I’m over the moon. We’re both absolutely thrilled, and so grateful for the support of everybody out there,” said Prince Harry.

After facing the questions about baby’s name, the Duke of Sussex said they had some time to think about it, but haven’t settled on one yet. He promised the public will get to see the royal baby very soon, and we can’t wait for that moment to come.

Congrats, you two!

What better way to end 2018 than remembering the incredible year the royal family had. 

The past year was huge for the British monarchy with two royal weddings, a royal baby, the Queen’s celebration of the 65th coronation anniversary and Prince Charles celebrating his 70th birthday. 

Two royal couples tied the knot in 2018 — Prince Harry wed Meghan Markle and Princess Eugenie tied the knot with Jack Brooksbank. The weddings both took place at St. George’s Chapel in May and October respectively. Both were stunning affairs with a slew of A-listers in attendance.

Another royal baby is on the way!

Kensington Palace announced on Monday that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle), are expecting a child in the spring. The announcement said that the couple is “delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public”.

The couple tied the knot five months ago in a wedding ceremony held in Windsor Castle, near London. Prince Harry said last year that the couple intended to have a child soon. “Hopefully we’ll start a family in the near future,” he told BBC News in November after they had announced their engagement.

Speculation about the Duchess’ pregnancy was first fueled by the buttoned-up outfit she wore on Friday to the wedding of Princess Eugenie.

Their baby will be seventh in line to the throne.

Another history-making moment for the Royal Family!

This year was filled with big celebrations for the royal family: the Queen celebrated the 65th anniversary of her coronation, Prince Williams and Kate Middleton welcomed their third child and second son and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wed. 

But the summer will bring with it another royal wedding (no not that of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank), and it will be historic. 

The Queen’s cousin, Lord Ivar Mountbatten is set to marry his long-term partner, James Coyle, making history as the first-ever same-sex marriage in the history of the Royal family.

The first member of the extended royal family to have a gay wedding spoke with the Daily Mail of his upcoming nuptials: “I really wanted to do it for James. He hasn’t been married. For me, what’s interesting is I don’t need to get married because I’ve been there, done that and have my wonderful children; but I’m pushing it because I think it’s important for him. James hasn’t had the stable life I have. I want to be able to give you that.”

Mountbatten was married to Penny with whom he shares three daughters, Ella, 22, Alix, 20, and Luli, 15. Mountbatten also told the outlet that his daughters couldn’t be more excited about the wedding. 

“When I mentioned it to our eldest daughter, Ella, she said, ‘Oh Pap, it’s not a big deal. It’s so normal nowadays’. Of course that generation, they’re completely cool about the concept of this… We’ll be pronounced partners in marriage, but the ceremony itself will be very small. It’s just for the girls and close family and friends.”

This wedding is set to place later this summer at a private chapel in Devon, England. 

Congratulations to the happy couple!

The music icon has made some alterations to his calendar, clearing one weekend in particular.

Elton John has made sure that he has no concerts planned for one particular weekend in May, that is of course the weekend the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to get married.

Announcing a scheduling conflict on Friday, the 70-year-old singer has pushed his concerts at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas that were set for Friday, May 18 and Saturday, May 19. Instead, the performances will take place on Sunday, May 6 and Wednesday, May 16.

John, who was very close friends with Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, has yet to confirm whether he has been invited or perhaps will he be performing at the royal wedding on May 19.

ET reported that when asked at this year’s GRAMMYs, John simply responded, “I have no idea. No one’s been invited yet.” John’s husband, however, gave a bit more of an enthusiastic answer saying, ”crossing our fingers!”

In a recent interview on ITV’s Lorraine, John spoke of how big a love Harry and Markle share.

“I spent some time with him at Google camp in Sicily last summer, and I could tell that he was totally in love.And I thought, ‘Good for you,'” Elton continued. “Both those boys seem to have be ecstatically happy and that’s all you want people to be, no matter who they are. When people get married, you want it to last. You want them to be happy. I’m happy for him. I hope they have a wonderful day.”

It’s safe to say that John’s rescheduling move, is almost as good as an official confirmation of attendance at the highly anticipated royal wedding.

Happy birthday to the Duchess of Cambridge who turned 36 on Tuesday.

Kate Middleton celebrated her birthday quietly. The expecting royal opted out of a big celebration and spent the day with close family. Sources told E! News that the Duchess spent the low-key day with her husband Prince William and their two children, 4-year-old Prince George and 2-year-old Princess Charlotte. The insider added that Kate chose to celebrate her birthday “privately at home, no big party.”

Just a few days ago, the Royal Family shared absolutely adorable pictures of Princess Charlotte on her first day of preschool. The photos shared were actually taken by the Kate – known to be a photography aficionado – herself. The photos were taken outside Kensington Palace as Princess Charlotte was preparing to attend Wilcocks Nursery School in London.

2018 is another big year for the Royal family with another sibling on the way for Princess Charlotte and Prince George due in April, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal wedding in May and the Queen’s 65th coronation anniversary in June.

Happiest of birthday wishes Kate!

The recently engaged Prince and American actress will marry on Saturday 19th May 2018.

Kensington Palace announced the news Friday after the pair’s engagement was confirmed last month. The two will tie the knot at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

No doubt after months of speculation, this much anticipated royal wedding will inject some glitz and glamour into the royal agenda of 2108.

The chosen date, however, clashes with another event, the FA Cup Final – one of the biggest English soccer matches of the year. While this doesn’t affect Prince Harry directly, it does his brother, Prince William who is the president of the English Football Association and usually attends the event.

Prince Harry and Markle have gone against tradition again as they have chosen to say their I dos on a Saturday as royal weddings usually take place on a weekday. The last royal nuptials in 2011 took place on a Friday and the Queen herself wed on a Thursday.

Fans simply can’t wait to learn more details of the whirlwind romance between the Prince of Wales and Suits star.

The premiere of latest installation of the far, far away franchise opened with a moving tribute to the late star Carrie Fisher.

Director and writer of the film, Rian Johnson introduced the film’s world premiere from LA with an homage to its lost princess saying, “Let’s all have a blast tonight for Carrie.”

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is predicted to smash the box office. Many celebrity guests arrived at the Shrine Auditorium, to celebrate the latest outing for this hugely successful movie franchise. The film is the second in a new trilogy of Star Wars films, following The Force Awakens in 2015.

Among the celebrity guests in attendance at the European premiere were Prince William and Price Harry. The two arrived at Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday. In November, star of the film, John Bodega who plays stormtrooper-turned-resistance-fighter Finn, confirmed that the two royals both have cameos in the film as stormtroppers.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in cinemas Friday.

What an honor! Ed Sheeran became an official Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE)!

Sheeran was awarded the honor Thursday in recognition of his services to both music and charity. However, Spotify’s most-streamed artist of 2017 did major faux pas breaking royal protocol.

The honor was bestowed upon Sheeran by Prince Charles on behalf of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. At the beginning, things were running smoothly until Sheeran went off-script.

“[I] shook the prince’s hand and talked to him for a little bit,” Sheeran told Today’s Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford Friday. “Apparently, I did a big faux pas, though. I shook his hand and then grabbed it and you’re not meant to do that.”

Thankfully, even though he was definitely not supposed to do that, both Prince Charles and Sheeran were snapped smiling during the moment.

A tweet from Clarence House quoted Sheeran who told of his grandfather who died four years ago on that very same day, saying, “…it’s actually quite a nice full circle thing, I guess he’d be pretty proud.”

It’s official! The Royal Family confirms that Prince Harry is to marry American actress Meghan Markle. An official statement by Clarence House confirms the engagement between the 33-year-old Prince and his 36-year-old girlfriend.

“His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle. The wedding will take place in Spring 2018. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.”

The announcement also confirms that the engagement did indeed take place earlier this month as many speculated, “His Royal Highness and Ms. Markle became engaged in London earlier this month. Prince Harry has informed Her Majesty The Queen and other close members of his family.” Being the 5th in-line for the throne, Harry is obliged to ask for the Queen’s permission to marry under the Succession to the Crown Act 2013.

Harry also sought Markle’s parents’ blessing, which he gladly received as is confirmed in an additional statement by Kensington Palace.

“We are incredibly happy for Meghan and Harry. Our daughter has always been a kind and loving person,” Markle’s parents said, “To see her union with Harry, who shares the same qualities, is a source of great joy for us as parents. We wish them a lifetime of happiness and are very excited for their future together.”

Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, said they were “very excited for Harry and Meghan”, adding “It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together.”

Introduced by mutual friends in July 2016, Markle and Harry managed to keep their romance quiet. In October 2016, their relationship was exposed, and in an unusual move, Harry issued a statement pleading that Markle’s privacy be respected. As their relationship deepened, Harry flew back and forth to Toronto, where Markle shot Suits and was introduced to Harry’s friends and even attended the wedding reception of the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister, Pippa Middleton. During the summer, the couple traveled to Botswana and Zambia for a romantic holiday, which began fueling speculations of a royal engagement. However, what really upped rumors into high gear was the actress’ interview with Vanity Fair where she confirmed that they are a couple saying, “We’re two people who are really happy and in love,” as well as their first public appearance together, hand-in-hand and embracing at the Invictus Games.

Congratulations Harry and Meghan!

Happy birthday to the Duchess of Cambridge who turned 36 on Tuesday.

Kate Middleton celebrated her birthday quietly. The expecting royal opted out of a big celebration and spent the day with close family. Sources told E! News that the Duchess spent the low-key day with her husband Prince William and their two children, 4-year-old Prince George and 2-year-old Princess Charlotte. The insider added that Kate chose to celebrate her birthday “privately at home, no big party.”

Just a few days ago, the Royal Family shared absolutely adorable pictures of Princess Charlotte on her first day of preschool. The photos shared were actually taken by the Kate – known to be a photography aficionado – herself. The photos were taken outside Kensington Palace as Princess Charlotte was preparing to attend Wilcocks Nursery School in London.

2018 is another big year for the Royal family with another sibling on the way for Princess Charlotte and Prince George due in April, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal wedding in May and the Queen’s 65th coronation anniversary in June.

Happiest of birthday wishes Kate!

The recently engaged Prince and American actress will marry on Saturday 19th May 2018.

Kensington Palace announced the news Friday after the pair’s engagement was confirmed last month. The two will tie the knot at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

No doubt after months of speculation, this much anticipated royal wedding will inject some glitz and glamour into the royal agenda of 2108.

The chosen date, however, clashes with another event, the FA Cup Final – one of the biggest English soccer matches of the year. While this doesn’t affect Prince Harry directly, it does his brother, Prince William who is the president of the English Football Association and usually attends the event.

Prince Harry and Markle have gone against tradition again as they have chosen to say their I dos on a Saturday as royal weddings usually take place on a weekday. The last royal nuptials in 2011 took place on a Friday and the Queen herself wed on a Thursday.

Fans simply can’t wait to learn more details of the whirlwind romance between the Prince of Wales and Suits star.

The premiere of latest installation of the far, far away franchise opened with a moving tribute to the late star Carrie Fisher.

Director and writer of the film, Rian Johnson introduced the film’s world premiere from LA with an homage to its lost princess saying, “Let’s all have a blast tonight for Carrie.”

What an honor! Ed Sheeran became an official Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE)!

Sheeran was awarded the honor Thursday in recognition of his services to both music and charity. However, Spotify’s most-streamed artist of 2017 did major faux pas breaking royal protocol.

The honor was bestowed upon Sheeran by Prince Charles on behalf of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. At the beginning, things were running smoothly until Sheeran went off-script.

“[I] shook the prince’s hand and talked to him for a little bit,” Sheeran told Today’s Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford Friday. “Apparently, I did a big faux pas, though. I shook his hand and then grabbed it and you’re not meant to do that.”

Thankfully, even though he was definitely not supposed to do that, both Prince Charles and Sheeran were snapped smiling during the moment.

A tweet from Clarence House quoted Sheeran who told of his grandfather who died four years ago on that very same day, saying, “…it’s actually quite a nice full circle thing, I guess he’d be pretty proud.”

It’s official! The Royal Family confirms that Prince Harry is to marry American actress Meghan Markle. An official statement by Clarence House confirms the engagement between the 33-year-old Prince and his 36-year-old girlfriend.

“His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle. The wedding will take place in Spring 2018. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.”

The announcement also confirms that the engagement did indeed take place earlier this month as many speculated, “His Royal Highness and Ms. Markle became engaged in London earlier this month. Prince Harry has informed Her Majesty The Queen and other close members of his family.” Being the 5th in-line for the throne, Harry is obliged to ask for the Queen’s permission to marry under the Succession to the Crown Act 2013.

Harry also sought Markle’s parents’ blessing, which he gladly received as is confirmed in an additional statement by Kensington Palace.

“We are incredibly happy for Meghan and Harry. Our daughter has always been a kind and loving person,” Markle’s parents said, “To see her union with Harry, who shares the same qualities, is a source of great joy for us as parents. We wish them a lifetime of happiness and are very excited for their future together.”

Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, said they were “very excited for Harry and Meghan”, adding “It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together.”

Introduced by mutual friends in July 2016, Markle and Harry managed to keep their romance quiet. In October 2016, their relationship was exposed, and in an unusual move, Harry issued a statement pleading that Markle’s privacy be respected. As their relationship deepened, Harry flew back and forth to Toronto, where Markle shot Suits and was introduced to Harry’s friends and even attended the wedding reception of the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister, Pippa Middleton. During the summer, the couple traveled to Botswana and Zambia for a romantic holiday, which began fueling speculations of a royal engagement. However, what really upped rumors into high gear was the actress’ interview with Vanity Fair where she confirmed that they are a couple saying, “We’re two people who are really happy and in love,” as well as their first public appearance together, hand-in-hand and embracing at the Invictus Games.

Congratulations Harry and Meghan!
