Marrying into and fitting in with another family isn’t always easy for people. Now imagine trying to fit in with Britain’s most famous family. That’s what Meghan Markle experienced in 2018 when she wed Prince Harry. While initially it looked as though the former Suits star transitioned into royal life seamlessly, she later admitted that was not the case. And what went on behind the palace walls led to her and her husband’s decision to leave their royal roles.
Now, a body language expert is explaining why he thinks Meghan’s “confidence level dipped” when she first moved to the U.K. and how she tried to “develop her own identity” before stepping down.

Royal correspondent Valentine Low is the reporter who published the story alleging that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s staffers were bullied by the Duchess of Sussex before the pair stepped down from their roles as working royals. The Sussexses have called the claims “a smear campaign” before Low spoke to several of those individuals who brought forth such accusations for his book Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown.
The Times reporter has another book out titled Courtiers: Intrigue, Ambition, and the Power Players Behind the House of Windsor. Now, Low is discussing passages from this book, which was published on Jan. 24, including what he was told about Meghan thinking “she was going to be the Beyoncé of the U.K.”

London is (permanently) calling for Juliet Angus!
The American star of Bravo’s Ladies of London, her husband Gregor and their two children, Georgina and Truman, have been hopping around their adopted city for years without fully committing to a piece of property. But their days of temporary living may be behind them.
“This is our fourth home in London in seven years,” she told Mini Magazine. “We are still renting as we just received our indefinite leave to remain in the U.K. last year, which means we can stay basically forever now.”

Marissa Hermer is no longer a lady of London -- at least for now.
The Ladies of London star recently moved with her husband and kids back home to California, settling down in Los Angeles. Et’s Leanne Aguilera caught up with the mom of three at NBCUniversal’s Television Critics Association press event in Pasadena, California, on Tuesday.
“My husband was right!” Marissa says of the big move. “Don't tell him that, but he knew exactly what I needed ... It's pretty great. It's fun, we've got a lot of space in our house, the sun is shining. So, it's not so bad.”
The 35-year-old admits she wasn’t excited about emigrating while cameras were rolling over the summer, but she’s since changed her stance.

These Ladies of London trips to Mapperton Estate never go the way poor Julie Montagu wants them to, do they? When we last left the ladies, their most recent journey to the English countryside went awry when Caroline Stanbury, bucking against the house rules set before her by Lady Montagu, absolutely refused to agree to a fishing trip the following day, causing her friends around the table to pile on and really stick it to her. But her former sister-in-law Sophie Stanbury wants to make one abundantly clear. "One thing I would like to say is there is no 'mean girls' things going on here," she told E!

The buzz of drama surrounding ‘s queen bee Caroline Stanbury is far from over.
“She doesn’t like the aristocracy anymore,” says costar Julie Montagu, who married the Earl of Sandwich to become the Lady of Mapperton estate in Dorset, England. “She feels like she’s being noosed.”
Caroline’s soon-to-be ex-sister-in-law Sophie Stanbury points to her best friend’s unflinching honesty: “If you set something off in her, she is going to go for you. There’s no kind of gray area,” says Sophie. “It’s kind of difficult — you don’t know what’s going to push her buttons.

Bravo’s Ladies of London are about to take us for a roller coaster ride -- at least according to star Sophie Stanbury.

Sophie and co-star Julie Montagu stopped by Et’s studios to dish on the ongoing drama of the new season, which premiered on Nov. 29.

“You know, get this type of group together and you're not going to get anything other than drama, really,” Julie notes. “We're all so very opinionated.”
“And also, I think putting the camera into the mix just really heightens everything,” Sophie adds. “[It] really builds everything up … the producers won't let us talk to each other off-camera. Normally, you know, you'd patch things up quickly. But sometimes you have to wait a whole day until you can film again.”

Whether they have titles or not, the Ladies of London displayed some very un-Lady-like behavior on the season 3 premiere.
Last week’s episode saw controversial Mapperton maven Julie Montagu in the sights of cast mate Caroline Stanbury after Caroline’s sister-in-law Sophie Stanbury revealed some less-than-flattering said in confidence about Montagu. Though the women, who have been battling since a dinner party misunderstanding last season, haven’t come to blows just yet, it’s clear this war is far from over.
Caroline and her costar Juliet Angus sat down with People Now on Tuesday to discuss the still brewing storm.

Ladies of London's Caroline Fleming and Caroline Stanbury have two very different things on their minds.
In preview clips for Monday's episode of the Bravo series, Caroline Stanbury is busy accepting Julie Montagu's "kale branch" T-shirt apology after their epic New Year's Eve blow-up, while Caroline Fleming can't stop gushing over the new man in her life.
"I've met a man who is younger than I but I don't give a s---," says Fleming. "I don't care and age is just a number."
And while Fleming's new guy may have her feeling like a 16-year-old girl she's says she's still a very passionate woman.

Ladies of London's second season is off to a dishy start—and a good deal of credit goes to Julie Montagu, who was promoted to a main cast member after a supporting role last year. On a show where everyone's trying to flaunt their wealth and status, Montagu is refreshingly honest about her family's rather unique financial situation. Montagu is married the heir to the Earl of Sandwich, and as a result, the couple inherited the family's sprawling estate, Mapperton. Sounds fabulous, sure, but as Montagu—aka Viscountess Hinchingbrooke, thank you very much—says keeping it up costs a small fortune. "We don't have the income to support it," Montagu candidly told E!
