Jordan Dean and Sydney Morton take on the roles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in Lifetime’s Harry & Meghan Escaping the Palace.

This is the 3rd film that the network has made about the Duke and Duchess. The 1st was Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance and then there was Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal and I watched both!

The film “explores what really happened inside the palace that drove Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to leave everything behind in order to make a future for themselves and their son Archie. The movie will detail Meghan’s growing isolation and sadness, their disappointment that ‘The Firm’ was not defending them against the press’s attacks and Harry’s fear that history would repeat itself and he would not be able to protect his wife and son from the same forces that may have contributed to his mother’s untimely death.”

According to reports filming has already started and we can expect it to debut this fall on Lifetime.

I’ll be watching.

When you’re ready to talk you talk to Oprah! and that’s exactly what Harry and Meghan are about to do.

The couple will break their silence in their first interview since they quit the royal family when they sit down with Oprah Winfrey next month for a special to air on CBS. (Lord I can’t wait!)

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who announced they are expecting their second child on Sunday, shocked the world last year when they announced they were chucking the deuces to royal life.

Harry and Meghan Have Joined Advertisers In FaceBook Boycott

By FirstLadyB June 28, 2020

Harry and Meghan are tired of Facebook allowing hate speech, bullying and misinformation to be posted to their platform, just like the rest of us.

According to sources close to the Royal couple, the Sussexes have been privately advocating for the #stophateforprofit campaign, which I first wrote about here.

According to Axios, over the past few weeks, the couple has encouraged CEOs around the world to stand in solidarity with a coalition of civil rights groups, like the NAACP, Color of Change and the Anti-Defamation League, which began urging marketers to stop buying ads on Facebook via the Stop Hate for Campaign two weeks ago.

Verizon, Levis, Dove, Lipton, Unilever, Patagonia, The North Face, Ben & Jerry’s, Coca Cola, and the Hershey Company, have all released statements saying they would halt advertising on the social media site as part of the #StopHateForProfit campaign.

Facebook announced on Friday that they will label any post that violates its policies but that Facebook deems newsworthy enough to remain online. The company lead by Mark Zuckerberg also said they will remove all posts that incite violence or seek to suppress voters.

Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan New Book Releasing August 11th

By FirstLadyB May 4, 2020

The true story of Harry and Meghan is being revealed in an upcoming new book “Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan, and the Making of a Modern Royal Family.”

The book, which is already listed on Amazon, is being released in August from British Reporters, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand. According to the book’s synopsis, the two reporters have witnessed the young couple’s lives up close and personal.

The cover of the book (which has Meghan in one of my favorite looks from the Duchess) is of the couple as they visited their namesake county, Sussex, in October 2018.

With unique access and written with the participation of those closest to the couple, Finding Freedom is an honest, up-close, and disarming portrait of a confident, influential, and forward-thinking couple who are unafraid to break with tradition, determined to create a new path away from the spotlight, and dedicated to building a humanitarian legacy that will make a profound difference in the world.

Harry and Meghan Launch New Organization “Archewell”

By FirstLadyB April 6, 2020

Harry and Meghan have officially announced the name of their new organization since saying goodbye to royal life.

On Monday afternoon, the Duke and Duchess revealed they are creating a non-profit titled Archewell. They told The Telegraph they intend to “do something of meaning, to do something that matters” with their new organization.

The couple reportedly have already trademarked the name for multiple purposes, including clothing and audiobooks.

As for the inspiration behind their new brand’s name, their son Archie of course!

“Before SussexRoyal, came the idea of ‘Arche’—the Greek word meaning ‘source of action’. We connected to this concept for the charitable organization we hoped to build one day, and it became the inspiration for our son’s name,” Meghan and Harry explained to the publication. “Archewell is a name that combines an ancient word for strength and action, and another that evokes the deep resources we each must draw upon.”

No More Using “Sussex Royal” Title For Harry and Meghan

By FirstLadyB February 21, 2020

Harry and Meghan will no longer be allowed to use the title “Sussex Royal” after their official time as senior working royals comes to an end.

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess confirmed on Friday afternoon that the new non-profit organization created by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not feature their royal titles. This is due to the UK’s specific government rules concerning the use of the word ‘Royal’.

A spokesperson for the couple explained: “While The Duke and Duchess are focused on plans to establish a new non-profit organization, given the specific UK government rules surrounding use of the word ‘Royal’, it has been therefore agreed that their non-profit organization, when it is announced this Spring, will not be named Sussex Royal Foundation.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘SussexRoyal’ in any territory post Spring 2020.

“Therefore the trademark applications that were filed as protective measures, acting on advice from and following the same model for The Royal Foundation, have been removed.”

Harry and Meghan had baby Archie christened Saturday in the Queen’s private chapel inside Windsor Castle.

The intimate ceremony was attended by Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince William, Kate, Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland and the undisclosed godparents of baby Archie. The Queen was not in attendance due to a prior commitment.

Harry and Meghan chose the private chapel because they “wanted an intimate setting in a place with such a special connection to Her Majesty,” says a royal source.

Following the ceremony, a Royal Spokesperson said, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to share the happiness of this day, and would like to thank everyone around the world for their ongoing support. They feel so fortunate to have enjoyed this special moment with family and Archie’s godparents.”

So, why don’t we know the name of the godparents? The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would like to keep that information private.

According to Buckingham Palace, “The godparents, in keeping with their wishes, will remain private.”
