Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been working behind the scenes for royal redemption despite the latest shock from the UK.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been dominating the headlines since their four-day visit to Australia.

The Montecito couple seemingly sent a message to the declining in strength royal family that they are “useful” after conducting meaningful engagements.

According to Heat World, “Harry and Meghan are very pleased with how this trip has gone. It’s given them a lot of confidence and reinforced their belief that the tide is finally turning in their favour.”

The Sussexes were ready for the critics, but their overall experience with the general public was pretty good.

An insider claimed, “It’s confirmed Harry’s belief they’re creating a groundbreaking new blueprint that will stand them in good stead moving forward – and he’s hoping it will impress the royals.”

Harry, who is expected to visit the UK for the one-year countdown event for the 2027 Birmingham Invictus Games, is reportedly aiming to sit down with his father, King Charles, for a “new chapter” after years of royal feud.

However, the monarch and royal family have been dropping clear hints about their true feelings for the Sussexes.

From not making them part of Queen Elizabeth’s 100th birthday events to Sandringham snub, the King may resolve issues inside Palace walls, but giving Harry and Meghan the same public spotlight is not on the cards, seemingly. 

Eddie Murphy is having quite the year for new arrivals. 

The comedy legend has revealed he has welcomed not one but two grandchildren in the space of a fortnight, a grandson and a granddaughter, and he could not be happier about it.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the American Film Institute Achievement Award Ceremony on Saturday, 18 April, Murphy, 65, shared the news with characteristic warmth. 

“I just had my first grandson two months ago,” he said, referring to the baby boy born to his daughter Bria, 36, and her husband Michael Xavier, who married in July 2022. 

Bria had offered a glimpse of her pregnancy at the November premiere of her father’s documentary Being Eddie.

He also confirmed the birth of his third granddaughter, just two weeks ago, to his son Eric and Jasmin Lawrence, daughter of comedian Martin Lawrence. 

The couple married last May and announced they were expecting in February. Murphy revealed the baby girl’s name to E! News: Ari Skye.

“So all this stuff is happening,” Murphy said, grinning. “I’m like it’s raining blessings on me. Raining blessings.”

When asked whether he had been dispensing parenting wisdom to the new arrivals, Murphy was direct. 

“Oh, you don’t give advice like that. You know, your kids don’t go by your advice. Your kids go by the example you set. They watch you. The stuff you be saying, they don’t even pay that s— no mind. They watch and see what you do. So, I don’t give a lot of advice.”

Murphy is father to ten children across several relationships, including sons Eric, 36, Christian, 35, Myles, 33, and Max, 7, and daughters Bria, Shayne, 31, Zola, 26, Bella, 24, Angel, 19, and Izzy, 9.
