Meghan Markle is supporting teenage girls struggling in the aftermath of the deadly LA fires.

On Monday, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, dropped off donations and volunteered at a relief center in Altadena, Calif., run by Altadena Girls, a grassroots organization founded by an 8th-grade girl whose school burned down in the Eaton Fire.

The young girl, Avery, has rallied locals to provide items such as clothes, hair and beauty products to her fellow teens who have lost everything in the blazes and are working to rebuild their self-confidence.

Meghan’s visit was discovered after eagle-eyed Sussex stans spotted her in a video Altadena Girls posted Wednesday on Instagram showing people giving and organizing donations.

In one portion of the montage, Meghan is seen arriving outside the center carrying large overflowing bags of donations and talking with someone who appears to be helping control the influx of items. The duchess struck a low profile, wearing a black tee, a camel-colored sweater tied around her shoulders and a black “LA” baseball cap.

Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster have a new gig with King Charles.

The couple were named ambassadors for The King's Foundation, the 76-year-old monarch's charity that focuses on practical education and training programs aimed at building stronger communities and transforming lives, according to People.

Stewart, 80, and Lancaster, 53, will visit the charity's headquarters at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland this week to discuss their involvement further.

The rock star and his wife said in a statement, "We are so pleased to be coming on board as ambassadors for The King’s Foundation and look forward to lending our support to this worthwhile cause, particularly during such a significant year for the charity.”

Robbie Williams revealed why he did not perform at King Charles III's coronation in May 2023.

"There was a reason. I was working. I got something I couldn't turn down because of money," the British singer-songwriter, 50, said on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" on Jan. 13

"And contracts," Cohen noted.

Katy Perry and Lionel Richie ended up performing at Charles' coronation.

Williams has reportedly been connected to the royal family since he met Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, on a yacht in 2011.

The "Better Man" star's daughter, Theodore, was a flower girl at Andrew and Ferguson's daughter Princess Eugenie's wedding to Jack Brooksbank in 2018.

A royal expert called Meghan Markle "inauthentic" for trying to rebrand herself like Martha Stewart.

Royal broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News that Markle, 43, is “trying to fit in somehow by playing a very dated housewifey role" by coming out with her Netflix lifestyle series that highlights her cooking and gardening skills at home in California.

“In time she may make a success within the lifestyle place," said Chard. "However, this will take a long time as Meghan’s character does not fit this sickly-sweet picture.”

Chard also noted that Stewart, 83, has "achieved huge success" in the lifestyle business, but she sees Markle's Netflix venture as "dated" and said it needs to be more "modern and interesting."

As Prince William takes on a more prominent role within the royal family, it appears as though he’s going to need to work extra hard at convincing two members of the Firm to follow suit.

As next in line to the throne, the Prince of Wales, 42, has reportedly started “seizing more power” from his cancer-stricken father, King Charles.

The future king is said to be putting his foot down on several key decisions about the Firm’s long-term future.

Among those is giving some lesser-known royals more of a spotlight, including Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh’s children, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex.

Lady Louise, 21, has stayed largely out of the public eye throughout her childhood and recent years, instead choosing to focus on her education at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, where William met his wife, Kate Middleton.

She and her younger brother James, 17, were both offered the opportunity to have HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) titles from birth, however their parents decided to pass and instead offer their children more of a “normal” upbringing.

A new report by the Scottish Daily Express claims that William has recently been mulling over the idea of giving Louise and James yet another chance at becoming working members of the Firm.

They’re just some ‘Good Ol’ Boys.’

Prince Andrew and Prince Harry are feeling the effects of being estranged from the royal fold, and that estrangement includes being given a brutal nickname by Buckingham Palace palace staffers, according to a report.

During an appearance on Times Radio’s podcast “The Royals With Roya and Kate,” royal correspondent Kate Mansey said the disgraced Duke of York, 64, and the Duke of Sussex, 40, have been given the same nickname by royal courtiers.

“I did a kind of wrap up in The Times Magazine at the end of last year in which a couple of people actually mentioned [Andrew] and Harry to me as being known as the Dukes of Hazzard,” Mansey said, via the Express.

“As the two difficult dukes who are problems for the king, but perhaps Andrew more so.”

The nickname is seemingly referencing the ’80s comedy-adventure series “The Dukes of Hazzard” which follows cousins Bo and Luke Duke and their adventures with law enforcement.

Kate Middleton confirmed that she's in remission after battling cancer last year.

The future queen, 43, shared the news via Instagram on Tuesday after visiting the hospital in London where she was treated for cancer.

She wrote in a statement, "It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal."

"I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead," Middleton added. "There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.”

The mom of three also gave a shoutout to the Royal Marsden Hospital “for looking after me so well during the past year."

She revealed her cancer diagnosis to the world in March 2024. Six months later, she confirmed that she finished her chemo treatments.

Kate Middleton described the long-term effects of her cancer treatment while visiting the Royal Marsden Hospital in London on Jan. 14.

The Princess of Wales, 43, sat down with a woman undergoing chemo at the hospital, where Middleton received her own treatment last year, and talked about the "tough" aftermath of her private cancer journey.

“You think the treatment has finished and you can crack on and get back to normal, but that’s still a real challenge," she said. "The words totally disappear. And understanding that as a patient — yes, there are side effects around treatment, but actually there are more long-term side effects.”

The mom of three added, "Sometimes from the outside we all think you’ve finished treatment and you go back to things. But it’s hard to get back to normal.”

Middleton spoke to doctors, nurses and other patients at the Royal Marsden hospital located less than a 10-minute drive from Kensington Palace.

“I was just saying, coming in the front entrance here, having made so many quiet, private visits, actually it’s quite nice,” Middleton was heard saying upon arrival.

Meghan Markle has high hopes for her Netflix lifestyle series, “With Love, Meghan."

A source told OK! Magazine that the Duchess of Sussex, 43, "is so confident" about the success of her show, which will now premiere March 4 instead of Jan. 15 due to the ongoing LA wildfires.

Directed by Michael Steed, “With Love, Meghan” boasts eight episodes, each 33 minutes long. Markle and Prince Harry produced the series via their Archewell Productions company.

It took 10 years before Queen Elizabeth II found out that Anthony Blunt, who worked at Buckingham Palace as Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures for decades, was a Soviet Spy, according to MI5 files that were released to the National Archives.

Shortly before he was set to retire in 1964, Blunt confessed to an MI5 interrogator that he was a senior officer for the Russians during World War II, and was in touch with the Russian Intelligence Service after the war.

Elizabeth’s private secretary at the time, Martin Charteris, and his deputy, Philip Moore, were the only people at the palace who knew about Blunt’s confession.

They waited to tell the queen until Blunt fell ill in 1973.

Charteris said Elizabeth took the news "very calmly and without surprise."

Prince Andrew has officially become persona non grata within the royal circle.

The disgraced Duke of York, 64, was sensationally snubbed from a royal dinner held at Windsor Castle last week — despite living at the Royal Lodge, which is located on the grounds of the residence.

The dinner, hosted by Princess Anne last Thursday, honored Andrew’s alma mater Gordonstoun School, which he attended with his brothers King Charles and Prince Edward, the Daily Mail reports.

As Warden for the school, the Princess Royal, 74, had set up a lavish get-together at Windsor, however her scandal-scarred brother was not in attendance.

“I’m sure the duke would have loved to have attended the dinner if he had been invited,” a royal insider told the outlet.
