I’m glad that Us Weekly has abandoned their Trump-family covers this week (and last week), because I do believe someone in Prince Harry’s camp is talking to Us Weekly, and I needed an update on the Harry-Meghan Markle situation. And here it is! “Pals” insist to Us Weekly that Harry and Meghan will be engaged by the end of the summer. “Insiders” insist that Harry will wait until Meghan wraps on the new season of Suits. And of course “sources” insist that Meghan has already greatly improved Harry’s life, because she’s got a keen (!!!) eye for interior design and she cooks! Here are some highlights from Us Weekly’s cover story:
An engagement will happen soon enough: A source predicts Prince Harry will propose to actress love Meghan Markle near the anniversary of their first date. “They will be engaged by the end of summer… they have spoken candidly about their future. They see a life together.”
Cohabitating: Before flying back to Canada in late February, Meghan had spent just three weeks away from the palace, and a source says security has taken to waving her in as if she were a permanent resident. An insider says the two won’t make an official call on cohabiting until Markle wraps her series this summer, but “Meghan feels a move to London is inevitable,” says the source. “It’s not like Harry can uproot!”
She’s revamped Harry’s London pad, Nottingham Cottage: “Harry knows very little about interior design, and that’s something Meghan is particularly good at. He has a few more plants, nice candles — and his kitchen is well-stocked too!” Thanks to Markle, he also knows what to do with the ingredients. A source says Harry and the avid foodie “have learned a lot of new dishes together.”
They have quiet date-nights: Their go-to spots are rustic gastropub the Sands End and swanky members-only club Soho House, where mutual friend and creative director Markus Anderson introduced them last June. “They genuinely enjoy going to restaurants, being outdoors and experiencing new places,” says a source of the pair, who recently saw Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures at a luxury movie theater in Notting Hill. And should they be spotted by an eagle-eyed admirer, that’s fine too. Says a palace aide, “They’re not trying to hide.”
They’re planning vacations together: They “talk about what places they want to visit,” says a source. Their dream list goes beyond standard tropical locales. Says a source: “More adventure trips!”
They want to work together for charity: “They speak about maybe working together on a project.” The timing is right for Markle, who’s “ready to move away from acting,” explains a Markle insider, adding that the upcoming seventh season of Suits will likely be her last. “She’s started thinking of the bigger picture.” Her view includes Harry. “They’re so in love,” says a source. “I honestly can’t stress how happy she is. Out of 10, I’d say 150.”
I hope Meghan has done more than add a few plants and candles to Nottingham Cottage! I’ve done some creeping on her Instagram and taken note of the photos she’s taken inside her Toronto home, and I do think she’s got a decent eye for design. Then again, she seems to like more modern-contemporary stuff and that’s not going to go over well with the staid old-guard royals. Like, Meghan wouldn’t be allowed to put a Eames chair in Kensington Palace HOW GAUCHE. How American! Oh, the fights she’ll have with the royal courtiers. It’s going to be amazing, you guys. I hope Meghan and Harry do get married just for the nose-in-the-air gossip from royal-connected sources.
Also: I’m consistently befuddled by the shifting timeline of Harry and Meghan’s relationship. I thought that we’re fast approaching the one-year-anniversary of when they first met, but Us Weekly makes it sound like they started dating late last summer (when Harry was working in Africa?).

They first met end of June when Meghan was in London for Wimbledon. They started dating around that time.
I’d love a fall wedding
If they get engaged in summer we could have our Christmas wedding!! Fall would be nice, but that might be too soon.
It’s averaged out to a six month engagement for various royals, so on that assumption, they need to announce last week in June!!!
Then we can have an even longer christmas break.
I would love a fall or winter wedding too! 🙂
My dream: A Fall Royal Wedding and Impeachment!
Hahaha That totally cracked me up!
hahahha fingers crossed!!
LOL.
I am terribly keen on both of these things!!
haha – yes me too!
@Happymom That would be perfection!
That would make 2017 a great year!
Huzzah!
A fall wedding and impeachment — Oh you incurable romantic, Happy Mom!
I’ll drink to that lovely combo.
Champagne all around!
@ Happy Mom : Yes, a girl can always dream about a perfect future!
It gonna hurt Meghan’s ego so hard if he dumps her.
I expect its going to hurt yours when he doesnt.
🙂
Yeah cause a dumb british ginger is such a catch.
Breakups usually injure the heart more than the ego.
Us weekly is so obsessed with these two.
I know! And it’s the same story over and over.
They wouldn’t be so obsessed if Kate and William weren’t so boring and lazy. Even US Weekly can’t sell them.
I hope they do get married, mostly because of how upset the nasty people in the DM comment section will be.
@happymom YES! Then Christmas will have come early 🙂
We need a royal wedding – go for it Harry. I wan’t a cheesy Hollywood type wedding with more bling and celebs than any other royal wedding before.
The only bad thing about this is that the Queen is going to have to pay for another country house. We’re already increasing the royals’ budget significantly to pay for the repairs to Buck House.
I hope they get Harewood Park (900acres) in the country. Charles is already renovating it out of duchy/ charity funds. Keep them in Nottingham cottage for London following the example of Charles’s siblings who don’t have substantial London pads.
Harry will get apt 4B in London.
LAK they could only live in Harewood as long as Charles is POW. He doesn’t own it personally, it is part of the Duchy. Once Charles is king, if Harry angers his petulant brother, William could throw him out of Harewood. Safer bet is Wood Farm at Sandringham.
I see the Flying Elvi in my near future! Where is Sixer?
While I do believe they are serious and that marriage is a good possibility, I also believe most of the leaked details here are utter rot. I imagine certain someones being very amused when these details make the light of day.
“Oh, put that bit about the gastro pub in there, let’s see if they print it! Johnny could use the business!”
I don’t believe this.
Apparently she spent 2 months in London at KP and yet not one pic but as soon as she is in Toronto we get daily paparazzi strolls of her walking around? I reckon she was NOT anywhere near KP with Harry.
She would make sure to be photographed like she did in November, when she was staying over and she and her lawyers made Harry release that ridiculous statement.
She lives for the attention.
It’s so amusing how her plan with leaking this relationship backfired on her. It backfired spectacularly.
Most people don’t give a rats about her and the ones that do can’t stomach her LOL
Why are you so pressed over a relationship you claim to be fake?
Pressed? What does that mean? I simply tell the truth and if you can’t deal with that, that’s your problem.
Sure jan…. her plans in leaking this relationship yet all evidence suggests that most of the leaks are from Harrys camp, even Kaiser and Lainey have said the leaks are from his side so miss me with that BS
Oh Amy; Bless your little heart.
You seem to know a lot about this woman.
She knows nothing about Meghan. She and her tumblr pals make this garbage up.
I absolutely believe this, we know Cressie and Chelsey said the press bothered them. Harry will do whatever he can to keep this as hidden as possible to give the relationship a chance.
Not one pic, apart from the theatre visit and the Soho House outing? The Sun pays top dollar for a reason.
I definitely agree on your points. I don’t think it’s a “fake” relationship but I do think that for them in a sense this is a ridiculous promotional thing. As much as she has her thirst for publicity, he most likely loves it too. Keep the media guessing. Which in turn then has the public readers all scavenging for info, which then means less publicity in William and his wife’s douch laziness. A lower key relationship without Us covers etc would mean it was real. But all the reports; publicity machine. Meanwhile she gets to have sex with Harry. Lucky girl all around.
Harry does not leak his personal life to the press. He said he will do all he can to protect his privacy so that theory is bull. Let me reveal a little more truth to ya. Meghan is friends with Jessica Mulroney who works in PR Marketing. Jessica knows Lainey and Meghan leaks info to Laineygossip through Jessica. Harry is not leaking stories to the press Meghan is as she has from day one.
Can’t recall, oh you WISH it was made up garbage. Her own sister and family hate her. There are reasons for that.
I love reading the comments here. Sooo, Markle has managed to: silence ALL of the people who have dirt on her, collude with ALL the worlds media to fake date Prince Harry, and manipulate the juggernaut that is British Royal family & Aristocracy into making press releases and sitting back while she leaks endlessly about her fake relationship so she can be HUGELY famous. OMG that is….Genious.Level.Scheming. I hope they get married, and I hope her next scheme is to make herself Queen. It’s gonna be so good.
Real talk though. So much pressure for them to get married. US Weekly will definitely be the most disappointed if they break up. I have ambivalent feelings about this. I totally want them to get married because the meltdown will be something and the wedding will be pretty, but mostly I think she should run.
Seriously. With this level of advanced scheming, maybe we can enlist her help to get Emperor Babyfists impeached.
Do you have amnesia? Because the rest of us very distinctly remember when, a few threads back, “Amy” posted something which someone called her on and then “Kitty” responded with, “I posted that [referring to AMY’S post] because blah blah.”
It seriously takes some chutzpah to get publicly busted for sockpuppeting and then come back under the exact same sockpuppet names.
I’d bet good money Amy/Kitty is also responsible for the various other brand new usernames that have been popping up here solely to attack Meghan (with diatribes that are basically word for word the same).
Give it up. It’s pathetic to attack another women, especially a total stranger, just because she stole your imaginary boyfriend.
Telling the truth is not attacking and the only thing you Meghag minions can say is “you’re jealous” or she “stole your boyfriend”. Grow up. She is a useless opportunist and Harry is a balding no job having scrounger.
“She’s started thinking of the bigger picture.”
Well obviously. A mostly unknown third rate actress on some show that will soon come to an end vs marrying a world known prince and achieve worldwide fame. Meghan has always wanted to rub elbows woth the world elite and now her opportunity has arrived. What I would really love is for her ex husband and ex live in boyfriend who she left for Harry to do a tell all! Now THAT would be the only thing interesting about her.
Hahaha! You sound jealous, miss amy!
Jealous of what? LOL that’s the usual and only thing Chicken Legs Markle fans can say! 15 years in Hollywood and the only thing she accomplished was some C list cable show that her agent ex husband got her. Get real. Revealing the truth and your poor heart can’t take it. She makes the Middletons look like angels.
I hope her and Harry are together and I hope they get married because the British media will expose her and her entire past. That day will be spectacular!
Ya, you sound jealous.
I disagree, Amy/Kitty/insert sockpuppet here doesn’t sound jealous, she sounds psychotic.
Good job Harry has top rate security and is evidently obsessed with keeping his lady safe and happy.
You certainly post a lot about someone you claim is not interesting. But then you contradict yourself and insist there is dark past for her ex and the press to expose. Anything worth exposing would need to be interesting.
Oh it is interesting. She had her lawyers involved so that the British press didn’t expose her dark past but sooner or later they will.
Nope. Our libel laws are very lax in the UK. If the British press wanted to print anything about her, they could. The reason they don’t is not because of lawyers, but because (a) they like Harry and (b) she hasn’t pissed them off yet.
She left her ex for Harry yet in the Piers Morgan article he wrote back last year about his meeting with her back in June, she did mention she was single and also her ex bf who she “dumped for Harry” said back in July, that he and his gf broke up ….No evidence whatsoever she and her bf ever even lived together, no doubt he did stay at her place sometimes but living together,….I don’t think so
She met Harry I May and by June was his casual busty call. She and Cory LIVED TOGETHER for years. Quit pulling imaginative bull out of your behind
She has accomplished more than he has
Why do you dislike her so much? You don’t even know her…
I wonder that too. The obvious, extreme dislike for her is a little strange. Either connected to her somehow, sounds like there is an axe to grind but is to afraid or FOS to just come out and say it and is bitter and butt hurt about it or some strange misplaced anger.
I don’t know the girl other than her show and tabloids but she seems perfectly fine to me. Very charitable and Harry seems happy. Good for them. We all have a past, some worse than others. Who are we to judge?
I doubt it’s anyone connected to her, it just sounds like standard Bitter Tumblr Fangirl tm. Basically indistinguishable from what the Tumblrites say about Cumberbatch’s wife, the 50 Shades actor’s wife, etc etc etc.
If you dislike her so much and don’t believe the relationship is real, why ON EARTH are you so invested in it, spending so much time here commenting?!! SMH
@ Amy : I agree Markle is looking at the “bigger picture”. Realistically her career seems to have peaked with “Suits” as even successful shows rarely go past seven seasons. And Hollywood likes ’em young; Markle at 35 years old is looking a bit past her buxom ’20’s prime. Is that fair? Hell no but it is true. So yeah, she should be looking at a possible future with Harry VERY seriously. I wish her the best of luck in her future, with Harry or without.
And I think the wedding-marriage gossip backdraft (a divorced American in the royal family! rivalry with Will and Kate!) will be delicious.
I too am ready to propose (to them/for them to make it official!) actually my entire body is ready for proposal/ wedding/ babies and also Like her and Harry doing all the work while she also goes on to dress like a normal person her age and such, Is gonna be good when the Firm runs out of babies trips and excuses for the other two LOL
^^^yes!
I don’t think US Weekly has reliable sources.
It is just all so contradictory, which is why I think there are no real sources for this. Weren’t there sources last week that she wasn’t going back, she was getting written out of the series? And if they go out all of the time, why are there only a couple of occasions where there are pictures of them? Especially if they say they don’t care if they are seen. It doesn’t make sense. And she is going to leave that highly acclaimed series that she acts in? Wow!! What a sacrifice for her!!! (being snarky there!)
I mean, she seems like a decent sort, she seems to have a work ethic, who knows if her head is turned by the trappings of royalty. I’d say to her, good luck, Meghan – I don’t think you have any idea of what you are getting into. I am 55 years old, I saw what the media did to the “lesser” female of royalty, Sarah, and that was before the internet. I wouldn’t wish what is in store for her on my worst enemy, and I don’t understand the hopes from those here for this woman, who seems like a pretty normal and nice person, to put herself into the lion’s den. Take what was done to Sarah Ferguson, take how the media has always treated Eugenie and Beatrice (who seem a LOT nicer than Kate,) multiply that by 1000 for their kids because they will be bi-racial, and that is what her life will be like. Think Harry, the Lesser brother, can protect her? No. Not going to happen.
Hope her eyes are wide open.
No, I wouldn’t wish such a future on anyone either. But then, look at the competitiveness of Hollywood, with newcomers making inroads all the time; I can barely keep up with new ‘stars’ and so on. Meghan has done well to get a recurring role in such an environment though it’s definitely not an easy route and not one that is long-lasting, except for a very few. Fame is fleeting. If Harry and Meghan have enough in common, why not give it a go? Look, everyone has an agenda and as long as they are honest with each other about what they both want things should be fine.
@ Sarah and Addie : I agree MM will be stepping into a snake pit of gossip and class warfare. Average American, meet the British nobility/upper class! Sure she is Hollywood-Instagram-brand savvy but will that be enough to steer her way through this?
They will never comment, ex husband or Cory
The ex husband and Cory were paid off for their silence but I bet they have some real juicy stories about her.
And you know this how ?
And she could probably say a thing or two about them, but everyone can be adults and move on.
The part about her being done with acting totally makes sense. It’s not going to be hard for her to leave Suits behind…I really expect an announcement about her future on that show to leak very soon.
I honestly am kind of over the Harry – Meagan Markle conjecture. I just don’t believe US or anyone else knows if / when these two will get engaged. It feels like click bait. I feel bad that there is so much pressure on them to get engaged by the media.
O BELIEVE THEY WILL GET MARRY.BUT O BELIEVE THAT WOULDNT LAST.
Well, let’s wait and see.
His best friend is getting married this spring. Mybe he is anxious to not be the last man standing.
There is no engagement, or wedding!
It will never happen!
Did you consult your magic 8 ball…or is it you projecting. They will decide their future not the tabs, not you or any of us. Never say never.
“luxury movie theater in Notting Hill”
The electric cinema in Portobello. Love that place. Good choice of film too. Supporting female driven and black cinema!
If we’re judging relationships based on movie dates, I see more potential for Megan than Harry had with Cressida. Megan takes him to see Hidden Figures, and Cressida joined him for Sex Tape. I’d like to know what movies Harry and Chelsy saw.
Considering Chelsy is a highly educated lawyer, I would imagine she could handle a movie as hard to understand as Hidden Figures.
At first it was an engagement over the winter break, then spring, now Fall? I swear these same articles come out with every gf he is with (ex Cressida a few years ago).
@ Whaaaaaaatttt? (hope I spelled that right) : Time will tell. For now, it is fun gossip.
Honestly I would love to see them get married, but we really have no idea what they want, or what they are planning. Maybe that are not there yet, in terms of planning a future. The press is putting a lot of pressure on both of them, I feel sorry for them. Every date is blown out of proportion, and we just don’t know. It’s not about what we want, it’s about what they want. We won’t be around to pick up the pieces if they are too hasty and it doesn’t work out.
True. BUT these leaks are coming from Team Harry and it might just be to further enrage the troll brigade…or put them on notice they have no control over the relationship. It’s amazing how organized the tumblr trolls are. They descend on every DM article and leave comments using several aliases. They do the same thing in several comments sections. You can always tell them because they spout the nonsense they spin on tumblr about a break up and fake pics. It’s pretty scary actually. Not sure why Amy (felix.201) and Kitty try it here. They get much more push back than they are used to.
Oh and don’t feel sorry for them. They are adults and will decide their future despite our and media speculation and the don’t need anyone to pic up pieces for them either. Again, adults.
I just don’t don’t want to see Harry get hurt,if it all blows up in his face. I think he is is a sensitive lad, he was so young when he lost his mother, he has been hurt enough. But if he wants this I am rooting for him and for her, and please have the wedding at St Martins around Xmas.
Yeah these leaks are from Harry lol.
I highly doubt these leaks are from Harry or “Harry’s camp.” Too detailed, too weird.
I think the media is being a bit trolled – or else they are making this all up.
What’s interesting to me is how sharply the interest in the couple has fallen off.
I SO hope this is true. She seems lovely, Harry seems happy with her, and we *desperately* need a royal wedding!
I’ll drink to that!
@ Maria : And I shall join you!
Both Harry and Megan are currently visiting my country (Jamaica) for his friend’s wedding that is to be hosted in Montego Bay. I would say things are looking pretty serious!
