During an interview on the BBC Radio 1 show Going Home this week, the 41-year-old was asked by host Vick Hope what his favorite emoji would be — and no one would expect the answer that comes out of his mouth. Unless of course they followed that whole #PrinceofPegging hashtag closely we suppose…

He first asked:

“Is this a clean thing? Is it a family one?”

Oh?! That’s a hell of a question! Princess Catherine chimed in, joking:

“It depends what group, if it’s the family WhatsApp group.”

But what’s his answer if it’s not the family-friendly one? An “aubergine” — the British term for the eggplant! Yeah, you read that right! It turns out he uses a LOT of eggplant emojis! William said:

“I’ve been told not to pick the aubergine, so I’ve got to pick something else.”

Who is he sending all these eggplant emojis to? Catherine? Instead of officially picking the “aubergine” emoji, though, the royal opted for a more PG answer:

“It would have been the aubergine, but I’m saying now because I’ve got to be a little grown up that it’s the one with the eyes [that] go up and down, and the mouth.”

Hosts Vick and Jordan North were (obvi) still stunned by the real response, noting the future monarch has “got a dirty mind.” Who would have thought?! For those curious about Catherine’s choice, well, it’s not the aubergine! She replied:

“It’s got to be the heart, with then the crying emoji, the sort of like hysterical laughing when things go wrong.”

Yeah, a man who throws a lot of eggplant around will get you crying and hysterical, we guess! LOLz!

What an innocent answer in comparison to her husband’s! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know.

The post Prince William Reveals His Most-Used Emoji, And It Is DIRTY! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

On Tuesday Meghan and Prince Harry held a panel discussion at the first Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit titled “Mental Wellness in a Digital Age” — a World Mental Health Day event hosted by Project Healthy Minds. the Sussexes opened up to the NYC crowd about their kiddos Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The conversation about the little ones began a bit heavier than expected. Moderator Carson Daly asked the couple about the secret work they’ve been doing with tech companies and parents who have lost children due to online bullying and other consequences of social media. Some of these bereaved parents also spoke at the event. The Suits alum revealed, via People:

“A year ago we met some of the families and at the time, it was impossible not to be in tears hearing their stories because it’s just that devastating.”

Although she knows her kids are still “really young,” she and Harry realize social media “isn’t going away” and will be something they’ll have to tackle eventually.

Taking this super seriously, the Spare author shared:

“I think for us, for myself and my wife, with kids growing up in a digital age, the priority here is to again turn pain into purpose and provide as much support as well as a spotlight and a platform for these parents to come together, to heal, to grieve and to also collectively focus on solutions so that no other family anywhere has to go through what they’ve been through.”

It was at the end of the panel that the Today co-host wondered if the actress’ POV on the topic has changed now that she is not only “a kick-ass woman, but as a mom.” She gushed while gesturing to her hubby:

“Being a mom is the most important thing in my entire life — outside, of course, being a wife to this one.”

Awww!

Because of the immense love she has for her children, the Archetypes host finds herself scared as the 4-year-old and 2-year-old grow up, she expressed:

“But I will say I feel fortunate that our children are at an age, again quite young, so this isn’t in our immediate future, but I also feel frightened at how it’s continuing to change and this will be in front of us. They say being a parent, the days are long but the years are short, so it worries me, but I’m also given a lot of hope and energy by the progress we’ve made in the past year being able to have these incredible parents, these survivors of these experiences, share their stories and the more information gathering we’re able to do, the more we can move the needle a little bit.”

We hope she doesn’t get too freaked out and just enjoys this phase of her life! After all, we don’t think Archie and Lili will be getting on social media anytime soon! But it’s great that the royals are working so hard to ensure a better future for them when they do. You can watch the full panel (below):

By the way, this event marked the couple’s first time in the Big Apple since their disastrous paparazzi car chase earlier this year. Seems like it was a lot less eventful, thank goodness. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Share your thoughts in the comments (below)!

The post Meghan Markle Reveals Why She's 'Frightened' For Her Children's Next Few Years! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

After her husband Prince Harry‘s memoir Spar, hit shelves at the start of the year, his wife has been itching for a turn to tell her story. And now, it’s seemingly coming sooner than you might expect! Royal author Tom Bower broke the news last month while chatting with GB News. As Meghan prepares to reenter Hollywood, he mused:

“My view is that she is writing her memoirs and it will be a huge money-spinner.”

First Harry, now Meg?? They’re really not done s**tting on the royal family! LOLz!

TBH, we’re not surprised. Harry may have touched on some of the mistreatment his wife faced at the hands of her in-laws, but we’re sure the Suits alum has a LOT more to get off her chest! Finally telling her story on her own terms would be a classic next step — and it doesn’t hurt that her memoir is expected to be even BIGGER than Spare!

Yes, you read that right! Royal biographer Angela Levin predicted this on Sky News Australia on Wednesday. She suggested the upcoming memoir — which Meghan has been saying she’s working on “for months” now — would be “more powerful” than the Duke of Sussex’s and include “moans and groans about how badly she was treated as a royal.” But it may also be “full [of] untruths.”

Oof…

Obviously, this isn’t what the royal family wants to hear, and they are FREAKED out! They just got through dealing with Harry’s book, and all the lies they claimed the tell-all contained. A second memoir — this time from the Duchess whom they have some complicated AF history with — is certainly NOT ideal! And, just as we’d expect, they’re not handling these rumors well!!

Royal expert Duncan Larcombe told Fabulous on Tuesday this turn of events has led Prince William to become incredibly “frustrated” because it prohibits him from being about to reach out to his little brother. Duncan remarked:

“William’s real headache is that he can’t get in touch with his brother without risking the contents of any conversation they have being made public. It is a real frustration for him and it totally ties him up.”

He continued:

“It isn’t just about Harry promoting his book, the podcasts or the Oprah [Winfrey] chat, but he has revealed some very personal and private family matters, like when they all rallied around the Queen’s bedside (before she died). It’s so far over the mark of what the Royals would consider acceptable and it just makes it impossible for William to trust his brother or make any move towards (a reconciliation).”

Because of the allegations Harry has levied against William, Duncan believes the brothers’ bond is irreparable:

“It’s one thing having a row with your sibling, it’s not uncommon in any family, but in this particular context, it is a constant betrayal. William can’t make that first move without Harry betraying him and breaking his confidence. There is just nothing between them anymore. William didn’t wish his brother a happy birthday publicly, where in previous years he has. It’s certainly a signal that William doesn’t want to talk about his brother, let alone to him.”

Jeez. Many insiders have been saying the same for quite some time, so we don’t see things changing soon, and definitely not if Meghan drops a memoir!

In the upcoming sixth and final season of the Netflix drama, Princess Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, will be making an appearance — from beyond the grave! According to multiple UK sources on Tuesday morning, the late Princess will be appearing as a ghost to both her ex-husband Prince Charles and to Queen Elizabeth II, now played by Imelda Staunton.

According to the reports, the scene between Di and Charles comes after the future monarch, played by Dominic West, mourns her death in the hospital morgue in Paris after her car crash, with the apparition telling him:

“Thank you for how you were in the hospital. So raw, broken — and handsome. I’ll take that with me. You know I loved you so much. So deeply, so painfully too. That’s over now. It will be easier for everyone with me gone.”

Yikes! This is sure to be quite the lightning rod for fans. Putting words in the deceased Diana’s mouth? Like telling her ex he’s so handsome?!

However, a Netflix source explained to DailyMail.com:

“The appearances of Debicki as Diana after her death were [visualizations] of innermost thoughts’ rather than intended to be interpreted as supernatural.”

Ah, so not so much a ghost then? But his grief talking? Hmm…

We’ll just have to wait and see how it all translates on screens when the first part of the season drops on November 16. See the trailer (below):

On Thursday, a source told Us Weekly the Duchess of Sussex is ready to return to the limelight and has been working hard with her new team to come up with an undeniable plan for success. They explained:

“[Prince] Harry and Meghan have been busy with Invictus Games recently, but Meghan is still planning her Hollywood reinvention. Meghan has a new team around her, and they’ve been strategizing about what mediums will have the most impact.”

The Archetypes host signed with WME earlier this year — but with a vision for producing content, not starring in it. According to the latest insider, the 42-year-old wants her work “to be rooted in giving back” and “philanthropy.”

So what’s next??

Related: Meghan Markle Was Being Looked At For Open US Senate Seat In California?!

It seems she will be sticking to what she believes is working. The Suits alum is in talks with documentary directors and fashion houses, the source dished:

“There isn’t anything locked in yet, but the most promising [thing] for everyone seems to be Meghan and Harry highlighting important issues through docuseries and bringing attention and fundraising.”

Inneresting…

She and Harry have released three docs via their Archewell Productions company for Netflix (Live To Lead, Harry & Meghan, and Heart of Invictus). She better come up with a compelling subject matter for her next series though! Otherwise, her viewers might get sick of all the similar content!

The mother of two has also reportedly secured an Instagram account, which could help her bring in the big bucks. She has yet to post anything, though, and the profile pic remains a photo of pink flowers at this point. There have long been rumors she might restart her lifestyle blog The Tig, too, and she’s reportedly working hard to snag a deal with a luxury fashion brand. Plus, the actress might try to restart her failed podcast, but it’s interesting the source didn’t mention that! It clearly wasn’t the best medium for her. LOLz!

So, she has lots of avenues to venture down, but she seems to be taking her sweet time before fully embarking on this next chapter. What would U like to see from her? Let us know (below)!

The post Meghan Markle Working Hard 'Strategizing' Her 'Hollywood Reinvention' -- Here's How It Will Be Different Than Before! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Kensington Palace revealed this week that the Prince and Princess of Wales are working with a charity and radio station to host a mental health forum for young people in Birmingham, UK on Tuesday, October 10. The event, Exploring our Emotional Worlds, will give youth a place “to talk about the specific mental health challenges their generation faces, explore what more they could do to understand and manage their emotions and discuss the solutions that could support them to better look after their own and each other’s mental wellbeing.”

Related: Meghan Was Being Looked At For Open US Senate Seat In California?!

But here’s where it gets inneresting… Their announcement came shortly after Meghan and Harry shared their own plans about hosting a summit in New York City on Tuesday called The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in a Digital Age! The summit will give a space for families committed to making a safer place online for kids and teenagers, and it will feature parents who tragically lost someone due to social media use.

Given the timing, one could assume this was shady to host similar events amid their feud. But in all seriousness, both couples are giving a space to have conversations about an important topic. And it’s something the foursome have all been passionate about for years in their own ways. They’ve been working on tackling mental health since 2016 when Harry, William, and Catherine launched Heads Together. So we highly doubt this was a dig at each other.

So, even though they aren’t joining forces during World Mental Health Day, we love to see Meghan, Harry, William, and Catherine supporting the same cause. Ya know?? What are your thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know.

The post Move Over, Meghan & Harry! Prince William & Princess Catherine Announce New Mental Health Forum! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

As you may recall, longtime US Senator Dianne Feinstein died on Friday. The Democrat from California had served the Golden State in the federal governing body for years before her passing at age 90. And since her death came in the middle of an active term, she now has to be replaced in the body — which, as rules dictate, must be done by California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Related: Meghan Markle’s Ex-BFF Just Posted ANOTHER Shady Quote — Was It About Her??

Newsom has openly said he intends to replace Feinstein in the Senate with a Black woman. Seeking better (and deserved) representation in that way, the Governor has been pretty clear about his intentions:

FLASHBACK: Gavin Newsom promised to nominate a Black woman to the senate if sen. Dianne Feinstein retires pic.twitter.com/4ouyVsjkcu

— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) September 29, 2023

But it also has political insiders wondering: could Meghan Markle be the Black woman he chooses?!

Over the weekend, DailyMail.com reported that Meghan being appointed to the Senate was “not an impossibility.” That outlet claimed “within minutes” of Feinstein’s death on Friday, political insiders and connected campaign surrogate “phones lit up” with speculation that Prince Harry‘s wife could be the one appointed. One insider told that news org:

“Meghan is definitely a long-shot but in the craziness that is US politics these days it’s not an impossibility. Crazier things have happened.”

Well, that’s certainly true…

And the outlet went on! For one, Meghan has been “networking among senior Democrats” as a way to “fuel her political ambitions” in the future. Those ambitions reportedly even include becoming President one day. Yes, really!

It’s not just idle talk, either. She and Prince Harry “held a virtual hour-long meeting” with Gov. Newsom over the weekend about Feinstein’s now-open Senate seat and other political ambitions, per the Mail on Sunday.

Related: Meghan Markle And Prince Harry’s Bad Press Is A Big Gift To You-Know-Who!

While appointing Meghan to the US Senate might seem pretty random compared to all the politically-connected people vying for the job, an insider explained to the outlet that Newsom’s options are actually more limited than one might think in putting up a caretaker for that Senate seat to only hold the gig for the final 13 months of the term:

“The problem he now faces is that all the best candidates have already announced they will be running for Feinstein’s seat in November 2024, the next election. Governor Newsom cannot elect any of those candidates to the position now as it would be seen as a huge, and very unfair, advantage. If he puts any of the very good black women candidates in the job now he will be accused of favoritism. So he needs to find a woman of color who can do the job for 13 months and will agree to not stand against any of the seasoned politicians who have already thrown their hats into the ring. There are not that many women who fit the bill. Which is why Meghan’s name is being bandied about.”

Tough spot!

And the fact that Meghan is pals with feminist Gloria Steinem — who is a major power player among Democrats — has only helped her cause. A close friend of Steinem’s explained their dynamic to the Mail on Sunday, as well:

“Gloria has been introducing Meghan to pivotal people within the party. Meghan is interested in politics more than anything else. That’s where she believes her power is but she has had to focus on making money.”

Damn!

Still, other Democrats aren’t as convinced. One senior source inside the party straight-up said:

“I don’t think you can take Meghan seriously.”

Unfortunately for the Suits alum, Newsom is NOT picking her for the Senate role. On Monday morning, news broke that Gov. Newsom will appoint Laphonza Butler to Feinstein’s seat. Butler will make history as the first Black lesbian to openly serve in the US Senate when she takes her oath — which will likely come Wednesday, and be administered by Vice President Kamala Harris. FYI, Butler is a strategist for the Dems and the current president of the political action committee EMILY’s List.

So, congratulations to her! And sorry to Meghan!

The post Meghan Markle Was Being Looked At For Open US Senate Seat In California?! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wrapped up their trip to Germany for the Invictus Games earlier this month, they traveled to Portugal to stay at Princess Eugenie‘s holiday home!

According to local magazine Nova Gente, the pair made sure their trip was a “mega-secret ‘operation'” so they could enjoy some downtime. The outlet claimed after finishing with the games on the 16th, they enjoyed the mini-vacation (without their kiddos) before flying home back to Heathrow on the 20th. Ultimately, they landed in Cali in time for several events last weekend.

We bet a little couple time was good for them amid all the rumors that have been swirling about their marriage!

Related: Meghan’s Ex-BFF Just Posted ANOTHER Shady Quote — Was It About Her??

It’s unclear if Eugenie or her husband Jack Brooksbank were around for the trip or if they just lent their property, but a well-placed Portuguese source for The US Sun on Thursday noted:

“The reports coming out of Portugal are accurate.”

Eugenie and Jack have a gorgeous home in Melides, a village in a region known as the “Hamptons of Western Europe.” It’s about 80 miles south of Lisbon on the Alentejo coast and near the exclusive CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, where Jack works in marketing and sales. Prince Andrew‘s daughter and her growing family are believed to split their time about 50-50 between the beachy getaway and England. It wouldn’t surprise us if they were around for a hang with their pals! A nice double date with one of the only royal family couples still on speaking terms with the Sussexes…

Then again, some alone time could be huge, too! For parents of small kids, it’s so hard to get time for romance! But maybe there was some business mixed in with the pleasure?

Nova Gente speculated the Archewell founders might be eying a property in the luxurious community so they can be close to Harry’s cousin, whom they have remained tight with despite his feud with the rest of the family. While it’s hard to imagine them moving to Portugal full time after just getting settled in SoCal, maybe they’d want a European vacation home?! They no longer have housing in London, so it could come in handy if they want a place to go overseas.

What do U think?! Sound OFF (below)!

The post Inside Meghan & Harry's Secret 'Romantic Getaway' With Princess Eugenie! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

A palace insider opened up about the Prince and Princess of Wales’ current state of affairs (poor choice of words?) — and it sounds like they are LOVING being the most popular royals!! The source, who chatted with Us Weekly on Wednesday, insisted they “are more in sync than ever,” elaborating:

“They cherish what they have with each other. For them, family comes first, and it always will.”

Dealing with Queen Elizabeth II‘s loss helped pull them together as “her death hit them extremely hard” and, “in many ways, it’s only now really sinking in that she’s gone.” Aw! The family just honored the 1-year anniversary of her death earlier this month, so we’re sure that brought up a lot of unresolved feelings.

Related: Thomas Markle BEGS To Meet His Grandkids Before He Dies!

Everyone in their inner circle also knows the couple has been through their fair share of challenges this year, the confidant continued:

“They’re the first to admit it’s been a tough year, but everyone agrees William and Kate have done a wonderful job staying strong in the face of such adversity.”

Despite all the drama, King Charles III and Queen Camilla have never doubted the duo’s abilities and have entrusted them to help with the transition of the monarchy, including by bestowing on them new titles and responsibilities, the source added:

“They want to keep working with Charles and Camilla and other members of The Firm to help lead the royal family into a more modern direction.”

And just so we’re very clear, they may have gone through heartbreak and family turmoil this year, but the source never suggested their marriage has struggled. In fact, it sounds like their love has only gotten stronger! They expressed:

“They’re in awe of each other. William tells anyone who will listen that he couldn’t do it without Kate, and she echoes that right back.”

Sweet!

Seems like any whispers of cheating have completely dissipated along with their respect for Prince Harry!

To prove how well they’re doing, William and Kate have been showing off a LOT more PDA than normal, such as by sharing a kiss at a polo match in July. The insider credits the mother of three for this, saying:

“William used to be quite awkward about showing too much affection, but Kate’s helped him relax.”

After all the criticism William received for the way he treated his wife at a tribute to Elizabeth last year, it’s no wonder he’s amping up the PDA! It’s not all public snogging, either. They just sat down for a chat on the future king’s cousin Mike Tindall‘s podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, where they teased each other for being so competitive they weren’t even able to “finish a game of tennis”.

Addressing what they like to get up to during their spare time, Us Weekly‘s source said “they’ll have family nights where everyone takes turns to pick a movie.” And they “love their sports, too” — as long as there’s a line referee, we guess!

These days, the lovebirds are busy helping their kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, get settled back at Lambrook School, where they are “adapting well and making new friends.” The family moved out of the city last year because “Adelaide feels like a more serene environment for them.”

While they are hands-on parents, The Firm source made sure to note they are “not overbearing.” That said, they’re not going to let the little royals run amuck without any rules! The kids are expected to do chores (like walking the dog and washing dishes) and have restrictions around electronic time. The confidant explained:

“William and Kate are determined to raise the kids in as normal an environment as possible.”

A very hard task for them!

Speaking of family…

We’d be crazy to give such a lengthy update on William’s family life without talking about THAT family member. Per the insider, there’s been no progress between William and his little brother:

“William hasn’t spoken to Harry in a long time. The standoff is mutual, and it doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon.”

As we’ve heard time and time again, Spare really “tipped him over the edge” and “William is furious over all the things Harry’s said about him.” Fair!

If it wasn’t already obvious, peace talks are off the table, too:

“Even if Harry were to come crawling back with an apology, it’s hard to imagine William forgiving and forgetting. The only silver lining of this situation is that it’s motivated William to keep his family unit very firmly intact.”

The 41-year-old is now solely focused on his immediate family and preparing the monarchy for his reign one day:

“William and Kate are proud to serve and help people in any way they can. But more than anything, they’re proud of their marriage and beautiful family.”

Sounds like everything is going spendidly for them! Reactions, Perezcious readers?! Let us know your hot takes (below)!

The post Prince William & Princess Catherine 'More In Sync Than Ever' After 'Tough Year'! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

On Tuesday night, Jessica Mulroney took to Instagram to post a rather cryptic quote without much context… She shared on her Story:

“As loving as I am, my detachment game is strong too.”

Hmmm…

Related: Thomas Markle BEGS Meghan To See Grandkids Before He Dies!

The post originally came from IG account @positivevibesquotes, which added the caption:

“Detachment allows for less disappointment and heartbreak. Do you agree or disagree?”

See (below):

Clearly, Jessica resonated with some part of the quote, but the question is, was it directed towards her ex-BFF? As Perezcious readers may remember, the two fell out back in 2020 when Jessica was accused of displaying “white privilege” during the Black Lives Matter movement, which a source at the time told ET was “painful” and “disappointing” for the Duchess of Sussex, who is biracial — leading her to detach from the stylist. Or, well, to ghost her entirely we guess.

Months later, Jessica tried to do some damage control, slamming “tabloid culture,” and claiming her and the mother of two were still close as ever — “family,” even.

This, of course, wasn’t the first time Jessica has posted a shady quote, as she also took to the photo sharing app late last year to post:

“Best thing I ever did was learn how to move without the crowd.”

Fans at the time thought it was in response to being left out of the Netflix docuseries.

What do YOU make of the new quote, Perezcious readers? Was it directed toward Meghan?? Let us know in the comments down below!
