In her essay, Bonas also revealed that the child was conceived using a frozen embryo.

"I am now well into my second pregnancy," she shared in the Jan. 11 issue of the magazine. "Having conceived through IVF the first time, we were fortunate to have another embryo stored away in a freezer. It is incredible that a tiny cluster of frozen cells, already a life, can survive, suspended in time for years. The science behind the process continues to amaze me."

Bonas added, "This second pregnancy is very different from the first, partly because I’ve been battling morning sickness. I’ve never had it before and now feel like I’ve been swaying on a boat for months.”

Prince H's former flame and her real estate agent husband, also 35, welcomed their first child, Wilbur, in 2020.

In 2022, Bonas wrote a piece for The Sunday Times about her difficulty conceiving and how grateful she was that IV "worked for us the first time.”

The "Fear Itself" podcast host was introduced to Prince Harry, 40, in 2012 by his cousin, Princess Eugenie. The pair stayed close after their breakup, with Bonas even attending the prince's wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018.

Nearly 180,000 people are under evacuation orders after five fires ravaged Los Angeles County, taking over nearly 36,000 acres of land with zero containment in the Eaton and Kenneth Fires.

The duo, who wed in 2018, live about 90 miles from Los Angeles where the fire has wreaked havoc on all infrastructure in its path.

Luckily, the pair’s 18,000-square-foot home is not in the evacuation line, though it may be prone to a “Public Safety Power Shutoff” due to the wildfire risk if the situation worsens.

By Nika Shakhnazarova

Prince William has begun flexing his royal muscles.

The Prince of Wales, 42, is “seizing” more power from his cancer-stricken father, King Charles, as he nears his ascension to the throne, according to a new report.

William, who is next in line to become king, is said to be putting his foot down on several key decisions about the Firm’s long-term future.

Among those, is declaring that his estranged brother, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle, are personae non gratae. The same goes for his scandal-scarred uncle, Prince Andrew, InTouch reports.

“It’s no secret that anyone who pushes back against him will be swiftly shown the door,” a palace insider told the outlet.

“He’s not willing to take any nonsense and the word is he’s already on his way to being the toughest ruler the family has ever seen.”

Sources claimed to the outlet that William has “never been more influential” than he has been in recent months, and isn’t shying away from “making decisions that he feels will benefit the Crown in the long run.”

As his father, 76, continues to undergo cancer treatment, it appears the king is “bestowing more responsibility on [William] and by all accounts is acknowledging that his time to rule will be sooner, rather than later,” the source adds.

By Sean Mandell

It's been five years to the day since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped down from their roles as senior working members of the royal family.

On Jan. 8, 2020, the couple shocked the world with an Instagram post announcing their plans.

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution," the couple wrote in a post on their @sussexroyal Instagram account.

“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty the Queen,” they added.

“It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.”

After much brouhaha, the couple were forced to relinquish all official royal roles.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not be returning as working members of The Royal Family," Buckingham Palace said in a statement issued in February 2020.

Meghan and Harry then left the UK and stayed in Canada for a brief period of time before settling permanently in the US. They now reside in Montecito, Calif.
