The brother of Princess Dianna, Charles Spencer, has authored a new book leading up to the 30th anniversary of her death. In the book, “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister” Spencer writes about a phone call he had with then Prince Charles after the death of Diana, where he claims Charles said “Rest assured. We’ll forget her soon enough.” In a rare move, Buckingham Palace chose to respond to the released passage by saying “His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory.” Damn!

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have been dealing with a lot of changes lately, and now, just two days after starting a new school, in a new country, they’ve had to make another major change: another new school. According to the Sussex’s spokesperson, the distance and traffic between home and school have proven to be too difficult and caused enough security concerns that they have switched the children’s school. This comes as the UK announced both the Duke and Dutchess will “imminently receive” an official risk re-assessment to determine whether tax funded security will be extended to them.

The headlines, the hate and the comments keep coming after a social media post by Meghan Markle over the weekend shows snippets of the Sussex’s new life in the UK. We see the backs of 7-year-old Archie and 5-year-old Lilibet along with the Duke and Dutchess enjoying the English country side. Many are slamming Meghan for “manufacturing interest and curiosity” into her children, while hiding the children’s faces and asking for privacy.  Meantime, SNL UK premiered their second season with an opening skit, skewering the non-working Royals, at one point referencing the longstanding, baseless rumor questioning whether Harry is King Charles’ biological son.

After a hilarious conversation with friends about how this next generation is spoiling their kids with a “gentle parenting” approach, a recent article explored this very sentiment many parents and grandparents are feeling these days. We go over the three styles most parents fall into: The “fish bowl” approach, the “ocean approach” and the “aquarium approach” and why the aquarium method is considered the the best way to help children feel both confident and safe while moving them through tough emotions in a productive way. We also discuss what you can do if you’re a frustrated friend or family member who wants to prevent a spoiled child from becoming a troubled adult.

90 Day Fiancé Star Ashley Michelle publicly asked for a divorce from her husband Manuel, one day before their 4 year wedding anniversary. In an instagram post, Michelle put up a picture from their wedding, demanded a divorce, told him not to come back to the house and tagged him.

This is a relationship term that has caught on for all the reasons you’ll never guess. We are all so burned out from flag culture…  red flags, green flags, yellow flags… that we’ve started to turn every small, quirky habit into a referendum on our relationships. Experts say the unusual and yes, even mildly annoying habits of your partner or a potential partner are NOT evidence that someone is incompatible with us. We’ve stopped dating each other and are constantly surveilling and labeling one another.  We go over some hilarious examples, and some of our own beige flags, to remind us all that some of the strange things we do, may end up being the most endearing if we just look at them through a different lens.

Now that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are back in the UK, King Charles released a formal letter reminding the public that Harry and Meghan are not to be treated like members of the royal family! In his public statement, the King begins by saying “to help avoid doubt or confusion” and goes on to say there is no change to the couples’ status as non-working members of the Royal family and that they should NOT be referenced as “His and Her Royal Highness.” The Sussexes have already reacted through their spokesperson, saying they were surprised by the King’s letter.

While interracial dating is not taboo the way it was in years past, it is still fascinating the way we are often treated when we’re out at restaurants together. Over the weekend, we dealt with the same question we are constantly asked, and it’s a question we were NEVER confronted with when we were with same race partners. We discuss why it’s difficult to assume people of opposite races are in a romantic relationship, and what would should say the next time we’re asked if we want to “split the bill."
