🎙️ Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Oprah Walk into a Bar…
Or in this case, sit down for an interview in Oprah’s fabulous backyard for an unprecedented interview that aired last night on CBS. The world watched with baited breath as the Duke & Duchess of Sussex spilled all the tea on what went down in the last few years including — the friendly connection between the Royal Family and British press, Meghan’s declining mental health, Harry & Charles’ strained relationship, the overt racism and denial of help from “the Firm”, and so so much more. Our favorite podcast hosts and writers are furiously creating content to recap it all as we speak. I suggest you watch the 2 hour interview for yourself, then hop on to Twitter for all the related trending hashtags.
💑 Ted Lasso Drama Enters Reality
If you haven’t seen Ted Lasso on Apple TV+ (I know, I know, but for this show alone I promise the subscription is worth it), then stop reading and go watch it. One of the biggest sleeper hits of the year has created a new beloved comedy series, the couple love triangle of the year (Olivia Wilde + Jason Sudeikis + Harry Styles), and now some new exciting romance news emerges! Some really bored internet sleuths discovered that Jason is seeing his co-star from Ted Lasso who plays the antagonist’s girlfriend, Bex. And even better, her real name is…Keeley. Doesn’t get better than that, huh?
