It's a royal family affair!
Buckingham Palace announced on Wednesday, that Kate Middleton is set to attend the annual Commonwealth Day Service of Celebration at Westminster Abbey in London on March 10.
The Princess of Wales, 43, missed last year's service due to recovering from abdominal surgery.
Shortly after, Kate underwent treatment for cancer.
Also attending is her husband Prince William and King Charles and Queen Camilla. Princess Anne, Prince Richard, the Duke of Gloucester and Birgitte, the Duchess of Gloucester will also be at the service to celebrate the Commonwealth.
This year's theme is "Together We Thrive" and 2,000 guests will come together to commemorate "the enduring spirit of the Commonwealth family," read a statement.
The King, 76, also did not attend the previous year for health-related reasons. Charles was also diagnosed with cancer and is continuing treatment.
The Princess, meanwhile, shared in September that she had completed chemotherapy and by January revealed she is "in remission."
Meghan Markle is honoring her time across the pond.
The Duchess of Sussex recently gave readers insight into some products from her lifestyle brand, As Ever, that has a special tie to her husband Prince Harry.
In the brand's recent newsletter on Wednesday, Markle, 43, wrote about the shortbread cookies that "remind me of my time in England."
"Crunchy and delicious shortbread cookies that remind me of my time in England, with tiny flower sprinkles to add extra beauty and charm to enjoy each delicate bite," she said.
Markle lived in the U.K. when she was first dating the Duke of Sussex, residing in Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace prior to their 2018 nuptials.
But by 2020, the couple announced their decision to step away from their royal duties and relocate to Montecito, California.
The subject line for Markle's second As ever newsletter read: "Find the magic in the moment."
"When I think of the things I look forward to most, I usually find them in the unexpected, in the thoughtful gesture, in the small details that show care," she penned. "The single dahlia hand-plucked from your garden and shared with a friend instead of the grandeur of a large bouquet. The lost art of a handwritten note, written with care to simply say 'thinking of you' and placed in an actual mailbox (with an actual stamp) and sent with love. The simplicity of a grilled cheese sandwich cut into small triangles and dunked into tomato soup with your kids. Or one of my favorites — making breakfast for dinner. Those small yet meaningful moments of connection are where we can all find the magic in the everyday."
Just like their daddy.
Meghan Markle revealed during her interview on "The Drew Barrymore Show" (which airs in full on Thursday) that her kids Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, have picked up Prince Harry’s British accent.
“OK, what’s your favorite thing that you see in your kids that you go, ‘Oh, that’s their dad,’” Barrymore, 50, asked Markle, 43.
"Oh, some of the words that they still say with a British accent, so they’ll say z-e-b-r-a and what else do they say? They have these little moments where it comes out and because they have very American accents, but they say words that are just like him and I think it’s adorable,” Markle shared.
The pair also discussed Markle's backup plan for when she's traveling and can't read her kids bedtime stories.
Meghan Markle is putting in the work to promote her new Netflix show and lifestyle brand.
The duchess, 43, made a rare TV appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show" for a sit-down interview that will air Thursday.
Markle spoke to Barrymore about her marriage to Prince Harry, how she balances her work life with being a mom to Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, the original title of "Suits," and more, according to People.
The talk show released a clip of Markle talking about her backup plan for when she's traveling and can't read her kids bedtime stories.
Markle's last daytime TV appearance was on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in Nov. 2021.
Back where Kate Middleton began.
Prince William visited Royal Berkshire Hospital — the place his wife was born 43 years ago — in Reading, England on Wednesday.
He was there to showcase NHS Charities Together, which has been raising funds for healthcare staff and patients since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Middleton was born at Royal Berkshire Hospital in January 1982.
The hospital is where the UK's first COVID-19 patient died in March 2020.
Meghan Markle’s estranged half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., has slammed the “malarkey stories” she shared about her childhood in her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”
The Duchess of Sussex’s highly anticipated cooking series premiered on the platform Tuesday, which saw her share her tips and tricks for hosting at home.
The “Suits” alum, 43, called herself a “latchkey kid” and opened up about her modest childhood to connect with viewers, claiming she “grew up with a lot of fast food and TV tray dinners.”
“It feels like such a different time, but that was so normal with the microwavable kids meals,” Meghan says in the series.
The former working royal added that she often reached for meals from Pollo Loco, Taco Bell and Jack In The Box — a claim she previously made in 2021, when she revealed that she “grew up on the $4.99 salad bar at Sizzler.”
However, the revelation did not sit right with her estranged half-brother, who took aim at Meghan’s attempt at relatability.
Some fans are not loving "With Love, Meghan."
The Duchess of Sussex's new lifestyle show premiered Tuesday, and many viewers have not been impressed, blasting the eight-episode series as "boring," "out of touch" — even "vomit inducing."
"Listen, I am TRYING to watch #WithLoveMeghan and so far she’s put Epsom salt & Pink Himalayan salt in a jar (“bath salts”) with a mesh bag of dried flowers and I’m not only underwhelmed-EPSOM SALT??!! But it is SO painfully boring. Just such uninspired, recycled, rehashed, lame content. Idk if I’ll be able to do it, y’all, but I’m trying," one X user wrote.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams ripped the show in a scathing post to X: "Thank goodness I’ve finished #WithLoveMeghan it’s insufferably smug & resistible. It’s entitled drivel, she is surrounded by sycophantic admirers who lavish praise on her. It promotes luxury at the wrong time. She’s way out of touch. Terrible music too."

"The new Meghan show is boring! The desperation is palpable. I am not a Meghan fan but it's sad," another added.
"If Meghan is an ordinary working mother, I'm Mother Teresa," British journalist Camilla Tominey commented, linking to a scathing review of the series.
Some fans were confused about the topics the show covered, blasting them as pointless.
"I’m so glad Meghan Markle has a new show on Netflix where I can watch her take pretzels out of a labeled bag and put them into a new bag…then label it. The people’s Martha Stewart!" the angry user wrote.

One disappointed viewer complained that Netflix had canceled fan-favorite series but greenlit "With Love, Meghan."
"Bailed after the first 15 minutes of With Love Meghan. Empty, vein [sic], fake. Vomit inducing. tHeY cAnCeLeD MiNDHutTer foR tHiS," they commented.

Took her long enough.
Meghan Markle finally revealed her first line of products from her As Ever brand on Tuesday, the same day that “With Love, Meghan” premiered on Netflix.
The duchess is selling a signature raspberry jam, al limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb, herbal teas (hibiscus, peppermint and lemon ginger), crepe mix and shortbread cookies with flower sprinkles.
Markle's products will be available for purchase in the spring on the As Ever website. The prices have not been revealed yet.
Jam, tea, blunder, oh my.
Meghan Markle’s new Netflix cooking series debuted on Tuesday — and some eagle-eyed viewers have already found an editing mistake.
During episode 4, a blank chalk board is shown as Markle gets ready to write on it.
However, in a second cut the chalk board has already been erased and Markle’s penmanship is lightly shown.
“Bready or not, here I crumb,” the “Suits” alum then wrote in what appeared to be a take two. She then exclaims to the camera: “Okay, let’s go!”
This isn’t the first time Markle had an editing mishap.
When the former actress launched her new Instagram account in January, she posted a video filmed by her husband, Prince Harry, 40, in Montecito, California, where the couple lives with their two children — Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 2.
In the clip, Markle wore an all-white outfit while running on the beach, writing “2025” in the sand before running off camera.
Meghan Markle is sharing a series of pictures, with love.
After her new Netflix show, "With love, Meghan," debuted on Tuesday, the Duchess of Sussex posted some behind-the-scenes photos from filming.
The carousel included various shots of homemade food, spreads, and baked goods, Markle smiling with her friend Mindy Kaling, cooking in the kitchen, and snaps with friends.
She captioned her Instagram post, "Today is the day! A few BTS snaps + food pictures I took on set for ‘With Love, Meghan.’ Come join the party on @netflix!"
On the series, Markle gives viewers a glimpse into her passion for cooking and decor, which coincides with her lifestyle brand As ever.
Ahead of the premiere, Markle spoke to PEOPLE about how she hopes to pass the brand down to her and Prince Harry's daughter, Lilibet, 3, one day. The couple are also parents to son Archie, 5.
"Being able to have my own little girl, as I’ve spent so much of my life championing the rights of girls and women, and to be able to see this as a multigenerational story — Archie is of course included in that, my husband is of course included in that — but I love the heritage feeling of it and knowing this is something that I can create in front of my daughter and teach her what it’s like to be a working mom," she told the outlet. "This is something that hopefully can be part of her legacy too."
