Royal Family

Melissa McCarthy's defending her royal homie ... calling out trolls who hate on Meghan Markle -- and saying it's 'cause people feel threatened by successful women.

The actress spoke with Page Six earlier this week in a new video posted Sunday ... and, she stood up for her pal -- saying she gets so much hate for seemingly no reason.

McCarthy then adds she feels intelligent women who have lives are consistently torn down 'cause people find them threatening ... which she says is totally the case with MM.

Prince Harry has officially cut the cord with his British roots after years of royal tension ... making it loud and clear he's sticking with the U.S. for the long haul, and calling it home.

The Duke of Sussex updated his country of residence in new paperwork filed with Companies House, which was required for his eco-tourism nonprofit, Travalyst. Whereas he used to claim the United Kingdom as his home base ... that's now changed to America.

While Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have lived here in California for several years now -- these docs show the change in his residency didn't switch up on paper until last June.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's new Netflix venture's already poppin' with star power ... 'cause early filming saw Serena Williams hangin' with the duo!

The Sussexes were down in Miami shooting their new show for Netflix all about the polo world ... attending the Royal Salute Polo Challenge Friday.

Check out the pics ... Harry's all decked out in his polo gear -- ready to hop on a horse and score a few points with cameras ready to cover it all.

Meghan Markle y el príncipe Harry planean lanzar 2 nuevos espectáculos para el gigante del streaming, esto, después de un montón de preguntas sobre su capacidad para producir.

Según Deadline, los ex miembros de la realeza están produciendo un nuevo programa de cocina, jardinería y estilo de vida protagonizado por Meghan, y aparentemente inspirado en su nuevo negocio American Riviera Orchard, que incursionará en varios de estos temas.

Meghan está reclutando a algunos profesionales de la cocina para lanzar su nueva serie de Netflix, entre ellos, el productor de "Selena + Chef" y el director de "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" para ayudar a dirigir el proyecto. Meghan es la productora ejecutiva.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are launching 2 new shows for the streaming giant -- this after a lot of questions about their ability to produce.

According to Deadline, the former senior royals are in production for a new cooking/gardening/lifestyle show starring Meghan ... seemingly inspired by the actress' new American Riviera Orchard business, which will dabble in a lot of the same stuff.

Meghan is enlisting the help of foodie pros to launch her new Netflix series ... as the producer of "Selena + Chef" and director of "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" are being brought on to help shepherd the project. Meghan is executive producing this one.

El rey Charles III puede estar enfermo, pero tuvo una gran aparición pública el domingo, asistiendo a los servicios de Pascua en el Castillo de Windsor.

Carlos y Camilla llegaron a la Capilla de San Jorge, donde fueron recibidos con  una gran fanfarria. El clero se reunió con ellos fuera y Charles saludó a los espectadores.

Hubo diferencias este año debido al tratamiento médico de Charles -está recibiendo quimioterapia para el cáncer- lo que compromete su sistema inmunológico, por lo que él y Camilla estaban sentados aparte del resto de la realeza. Tampoco asistió a la recepción posterior a la ceremonia.

King Charles III may be ill, but he bounced back for a big public appearance Sunday ... attending Easter services at Windsor Castle.

KC and Camilla rolled up to St. George's Chapel and there was fanfare waiting for them. The clergy met them outside as Charles waved to onlookers.

There were differences this year because of Charles' medical treatment ... he's undergoing chemo for cancer, which compromises his immune system, so he and Camilla were seated apart from the rest of the royals. He also skipped the reception after the service.

Drew Barrymore is weighing in on folks who are now backtracking/apologizing for joking about Kate Middleton before they knew she had cancer ... including Stephen Colbert.

The actress/talk show host spoke on the phenomenon that's been unfolding over the past week or so -- namely, the fact that people are getting dragged for having made light of Kate's mysterious situation ahead of her cancer diagnosis announcement.

There've been a lot of people who've had to eat crow over this -- and that goes for Colbert too, who dedicated a little time on his show Monday to express regret for his recent bit.

Kate Middleton's shocking announcement ended with a message of support for all those affected by cancer ... and seemingly inspired one such person to speak out.

Actress Gina Bellman -- best known for her role as Sophie Devereaux on the series "Leverage" -- posted a message of support to X for the Princess of Wales a little over an hour after Kate's video shocked the world.

And, minutes after her first tweet applauding KM's bravery ... Bellman told her followers about her own cancer diagnosis.

El tío de Kate Middleton no es fan de Meghan Markle, y arremetió contra ella en una entrevista la semana pasada con The Times en Londres, pero ahora se disculpa a raíz del diagnóstico de cáncer de Kate.

Según The Times, Gary Goldsmith ha apodado a Meghan "Laughing Girl", diciéndole al periódico hace una semana: "Seamos realistas, Laughing Girl no va a estar por aquí para siempre, ¿verdad? Creo que es voluble. Y creo que es muy mala para Harry y para nuestro país".

Parece que Gary se enojó luego de que Meghan acusara a uno o dos miembros de la realeza de hacer comentarios racistas sobre Archie y su color de piel, y él cree que ella estaba apuntando a Kate.

No parece importarle que Meghan y Harry expresaran su simpatía por Kate, diciendo: "La idea de que Laughing Girl diga que Kate es racista me pone furiosa. Kate conoce las raíces de su familia y está orgullosa de ellas. Lo siento, pero Laughing Girl no es buena gente".

Goldsmith asegura que no siempre fue así: "William, Harry y Kate eran un trío feliz y se arruinó por completo. Con todo lo que está pasando -y hay otras cosas que no son de dominio público-, ¿están en su momento más feliz? No. Sus hijos les dan mucha alegría, pero no".

Ahora se ha disculpado en X:  "Esta entrevista y se hizo hace más de una semana y fue a la imprenta antes de que yo fuera consciente de la triste noticia con respecto a mi sobrina Kate. Mis pensamientos y oraciones están con Kate y la familia en general en este momento difícil y profundamente molesto por el momento de este artículo".

Y continúa: "Espero que esto ponga fin a las continuas especulaciones y horribles conspiraciones. Démosle tiempo a Kate, William y los niños y demostrémosles algo de amor".

Kate Middleton's uncle is no fan of Meghan Markle, and he blasted her in an interview last week with The Times in London, but now he's apologizing in the wake of Kate's cancer diagnosis.

According to The Times, Gary Goldsmith has nicknamed Meghan "Laughing Girl," telling the paper a week ago, “Let’s face it, Laughing Girl isn’t going to be around forever, is she? I think she’s fickle. And I think she’s so bad for Harry and for our country.”

Seems GG is harboring bad blood after Meghan accused a Royal or 2 of making racist comments about Archie and his skin color, and he believes she was zeroing in on Kate.

He added, "The idea that Laughing Girl says Kate is racist makes me furious. Kate knows her family’s roots and is proud of them. I’m sorry, but Laughing Girl is not good people.”

Goldsmith claims it wasn't always this way, saying, “William, Harry and Kate were such a happy little trio and it got totally ruined. With all that going on — and there is other stuff going on that is not in the public domain — are they at their absolute happiest? No. Their kids bring them a lot of joy, but no.”

Now he's apologized on X ...  "This interview and shoot was done over a week ago and went to print before I was aware of the sad news regarding my niece Kate. My thoughts and prayers are with Kate and the wider family at this difficult time and deeply upset at the timing of this article."

A controversial royal family biographer is in some hot water for a tweet he posted minutes before Kate Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis.

Omid Scobie -- who wrote a controversial book on the royal family last year -- shared a tweet of him setting an alarm for 6 PM on Friday ... the time in England when Kate Middleton shocked the world by revealing she has cancer.

And, right after the Princess of Wales revealed the info, two things happened -- Scobie took the tweet down, and social media raked him over the coals.

Comments calling the tweet tasteless and attacking Omid's character ran rampant across X ... and the journalist ultimately had to address the online controversy after several media outlets picked up the news.

In another tweet posted Friday, Scobie explains he didn't know what the announcement was about, and only wanted to alert his followers to the news -- deleting his post shortly after watching Middleton's video.

Scobie expresses his frustration with the outlets who reported the story, saying they ran with the post as if it were a sick "countdown" to the news ... which he says was never his intention.

It's not totally shocking some people may think Omid was making light of the news ... 'cause he's quite the controversial figure in the royal realm. Remember, Scobie wrote the book "Endgame" which made some serious claims about the royal family.

Among them, two senior royals were alleged to have made racist comments about Meghan and Harry's children. Though they were supposed to go unnamed, a Dutch translation of the book listed them ... as King Charles and Princess Kate.

Scobie's said the two were erroneously identified ... but, the book left a sour taste in many people's mouths -- and it appears Scobie's no longer getting the benefit of the doubt, especially when it comes to the Princess of Wales.

Kate Middleton's feelin' the love from every corner of the globe ... including from a prominent member of her own family who had a close connection to Princess Diana.

Charles Spencer -- the late Diana's brother -- posted a message of support to Kate Saturday following her bombshell cancer video announcement Friday.

The 9th Earl Spencer shared a screengrab of Kate's appearance and kept the caption short and sweet, writing, "Incredible poise and strength."

It's a pretty simple message from Princess Di's bro ... but, meaningful nonetheless. Remember, Diana was always applauded for her own poise as she went through her messy divorce from King Charles in the early 1990s.

And, Spencer even publicly compared the media scrutiny around Kate's stepping away from the spotlight to media attention around Diana before her death earlier this week -- making a more direct comparison between the two women.

Of course, Spencer isn't the only family member to send their messages of support out wide for Kate ... with the king and his wife Queen Camilla also making a public statement lauding Middleton's courage while Prince Harry & Meghan Markle even tried to reach out privately to the Princess of Wales.

Kate, of course, never got to meet Diana because the late princess was killed in a car crash several years before she started dating William.

Leah McSweeney le está pidiendo a Andy Cohen que se retracte, diciendo que le encanta ir tras las mujeres y que debería pedirle disculpas a Kate Middleton.

La ex estrella de "Real Housewives of New York", que presentó una demanda contra Cohen en febrero, lo criticó por Instagram el viernes, solo unas horas después de que se supiera el anuncio que la Princesa de Gales ha sido diagnosticada con cáncer.

En el comunicado, compartido en su historia de Instagram, Leah dice que Cohen disfruta siendo "cruel" con las mujeres y que Kate no fue una excepción a la regla. Continúa diciendo que este debería disculparse con Catherine y termina pidiendo que las personas que están en posiciones de poder practiquen un mejor liderazgo.

Por si no lo saben, Andy compartió un tweet después de que TMZ obtuviera un video del Príncipe William y la Princesa Catherine caminando en la granja de Windsor, en el que decía: "Esa no es Kate ...".

También habría hablado sobre los rumores de infidelidad de parte de William en su podcast, todo antes de que Kate anunciara que está lidiando con el cáncer.

Con todo, esto no se ve bien para Cohen, que es solo una de las muchas celebridades que ha recibido críticas en las últimas horas por las bromas y comentarios que hicieron sobre Kate antes de la reveladora noticia.

Blake Lively ya se ha disculpado por hacer una broma sobre la foto familiar "photoshopeada" de Middleton, mientras que Kim Kardashian ha estado callada respecto a su propio post en el que se refería a la princesa Kate en el pie de foto.

Por cierto, McSweeney está demandando a Cohen y a Bravo por crear un ambiente de trabajo tóxico, en el que su salud mental y sus dificultades asociadas al consumo de alcohol fueron explotadas por el show. Por lo tanto, ella tiene sus propias razones para estar criticando los comentarios de Cohen.

Dicho esto, McSweeney ha estado diciéndole a la gente que deje tranquila a Kate por un tiempo. El domingo 17 de marzo publicó un mensaje en el que le deseaba lo mejor a Middleton mientras le pedía a la gente que respetara la privacidad de la princesa y dejara de cotillear sobre ella.

Leah McSweeney's taking Andy Cohen to task ... claiming he loves viciously going after women -- and calling on him to apologize to Kate Middleton.

The former 'Real Housewives of New York' star -- who filed a lawsuit against AC back in February -- called out Cohen on Instagram Friday hours after the Princess of Wales' shocking cancer announcement.

In the statement, shared to her Instagram story, LM says Cohen enjoys being "cruel" to women, and adds Kate was no exception to the rule. She continues by saying Cohen needs to apologize to Catherine ... and finishes by calling on people in power to practice better leadership.

ICYMI ... Andy shared a tweet after TMZ obtained video of Prince William and Princess Catherine walking at a farm stand in Windsor, writing, "That ain't Kate..."

He also reportedly spoke about rumors of infidelity between William and on his podcast earlier this week ... all before Kate announced she's dealing with cancer.

All in all ... not a great look for Cohen -- who's just one of many celebs who have caught some flak for jokes and comments they made about KM before her video Friday.

El Príncipe Harry y Meghan Markle no solo hicieron una declaración pública luego de conocerse el diagnóstico de cáncer de Kate Middleton, sino que también se pusieron en contacto personalmente, según ha confirmado TMZ.

El duque y la duquesa de Sussex se contactaron directamente con la princesa de Gales, aunque no está claro exactamente cuando trataron de hacerlo o si realmente hablaron con Kate o William.

Tampoco sabemos si Kate habló con Meghan o Harry, pero sí sabemos que hicieron un esfuerzo por enviarles sus mejores deseos personalmente.

Es un gesto dulce de parte de los ex miembros de la realeza, quienes ya habían compartido una declaración pública en la que transmitieron su apoyo a Kate, William y sus hijos después de conocer la impactante noticia.

Como informamos anteriormente, los Sussexes dijeron: "Deseamos salud y curación para Kate y la familia, y esperamos que puedan hacerlo en privado y en paz". Este mensaje fue compartido solo un par de horas después del anuncio.

Meghan y Harry estuvieron en una exposición de arte el jueves por la noche en Los Ángeles, y se veían bastante relajados. Los informes están surgiendo que la noticia fue tan impactante para ellos como para el resto del mundo, aunque no está claro si tenían algún tipo de advertencia previa.

Por supuesto, una enorme grieta se abrió entre Meghan, Harry y el resto de la familia real cuando estos decidieron renunciar a sus cargos e irse a Estados Unidos, pero parece que esta noticia es más importante que cualquier problema personal.

Todo esto calza con lo que Sean Mandell, creador del podcast "Spilling Royal Tea", nos dijo en "TMZ Live" el viernes, al sugerir que este diagnóstico puede ser una oportunidad para que puedan reconciliarse.
