The project includes 31 newly furnished homes in Aberdeen, Scotland, that residents recently moved into, and others in five more locations across the UK.

According to the royal's Instagram post, the program hopes to "provide safety and security for new residents, but also foster a supportive environment that encourages longer tenancy and helps to prevent homelessness."

Queen Elizabeth gave a cryptic, lukewarm reply when her grandson Prince Harry asked in 2017 for her permission to propose to Meghan Markle.

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward revealed in her book "My Mother and I" that the late Queen said, "Well, then, I suppose I have to say yes."

But it was also reported that the matriarch was said to be fond of her Markle.

Prince Philip's nickname for Meghan Markle revealed as he was 'one of the few wary' of her before Prince Harry wedding

By Alexandra Bellusci

Prince Philip had a certain nickname for the Duchess of Sussex.

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward revealed in her book "My Mother and I" that Philip was "one of the few wary" of Meghan Markle when she and Prince Harry got engaged in 2017, and thought it was "uncanny" how much she reminded him of Wallis Simpson — an American socialite whom King Edward VIII abdicated the throne to marry.

Prince Philip then nicknamed the actress "DOW" after Wallis, the Duchess of Windsor. 

Simpson had been divorced twice when she tied the knot with King Edward VIII at Château de Candé in France in 1937. The bride-to-be followed royal tradition and wore pale blue instead of "virginal white."

Markle, however, had previously been married to Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson, but wore a white Givenchy gown anyway.

Lady Elizabeth, a confidant of the late Queen Elizabeth, told Seward that the matriarch had only one comment to share about Markle and Prince Harry's wedding, which was that her dress was "too white."

After the makeup edit went live, Markle shared a reel from a fan page to her Instagram Stories of her wedding day makeup artist Daniel Martin explaining what went into her glam on the special day while on the "Breaking Beauty" podcast on March 12.

"Love you @danielmartin! Let's keep it glowing my sweet," she wrote on the video.

The clip showed Martin, who is also Markle's longtime friend, revealing details about the May 2018 wedding day.

"Oh yeah, it's been six years now. It was basically a lot of Tatcha. And I mean, I was with Dior then, so a lot of the Backstage had just launched. So her whole face," Martin told the hosts, sharing later in the episode that Markle's bridal glam "was pretty much Dior Backstage."
