Her Majesty met with 13 US Presidents during her 70-year reign, but surely one of the most difficult of all her transatlantic relationships was with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit their roles as senior royals in early 2020 and relocated to Montecito, California, where they reside in a $14.65 million mansion with their children Archie and Lilibet. Despite ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family, the Queen continued to extend warm welcomes to the couple, who reportedly turned down an invitation to visit Balmoral. During the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the Queen refused to allow the rift between the Sussexes and the other royals to become an issue, even meeting with Harry and Meghan at Windsor Castle during their visit. But while Her Majesty kept the door to reconciliation firmly propped open, even in the final weeks of her life, will the other royals have the same unwavering patience now that she has passed?

Hillary, 74, visited Andy's Watch What Happens Live on Thursday with her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, 42, to discuss their new Apple TV+ docuseries, Gutsy. During the interview, host Andy dropped a bombshell - he once had a fling with one of the men assigned to protect Hillary when she served as First Lady. The former Senator appeared astonished, opening her mouth wide with shock, before admitting that it was a little too much information for her liking. Andy insisted that the agent 'had wonderful things to say about the entire family,' but didn't share any further details. Andy's shocking secret comes just days after Hillary shared one of her own - that she and husband Bill Clinton once accidentally left their daughter at the Kremlin.

Woman, 27, starts handing out dating RESUMES with her photo, hobbies, and basic information to any attractive men she spots in public after growing tired of only meeting guys on apps
Emily Zgoda, from San Diego, California, said she wasn't having any luck on Hinge, Tinder, or Bumble, so she decided to make physical copies of her profile. She printed out some photos of herself, and wrote fun facts about herself on the back of them - including things like her favorite hobbies and her special skills. She then headed to local fast food joints, restaurants, supermarkets, and stores and gave one to any potential suitors that she thought was cute. She documented the whole thing and shared it to her TikTok account - which quickly went viral, earning her more than one million likes across her videos. While one man ended up texting her and asking her to hangout, he ultimately canceled. Other guys have reached out, however, she has yet to secure a date.

The Queen of comic timing! From pulling a marmalade sandwich from her handbag with Paddington to parachuting into the Olympics with 007, how Her Majesty made the nation smile
The Queen's sense of duty never for a moment wavered - but that doesn't mean our late monarch, who died on Thursday at the age of 96, didn't have immaculate comic timing. In 2012, she participated in a sketch with then Bond actor Daniel Craig, which saw her gamely being 'parachuted' into the Olympic stadium for the opening ceremony. And just a few months ago, she melted hearts once more, by sharing tea with Paddington Bear, in a moment that became a highlight of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. (Pictured clockwise from top left: Paddington and the Queen share a cuppa at the Palace, cheering on a horse back in 1978, teaming up with Daniel Craig for the 2012 skit, and enjoying a joke while cutting a cake with Camilla, Queen Consort and Kate Middleton)

The former Duchess of Cornwall has seen her role within the royal family transform from someone the nation mistrusted over her early relations with Charles, the former Prince of Wales, who is now King, into a senior royal who now dedicates her life to public service.
As Charles III ascends the throne, the VERY colorful legacy of his regnal name - from Charles I who was tried for treason and beheaded to 'Merry Monarch' Charles II who fathered TWELVE illegitimate children
The former Prince of Wales has chosen his official name following the death of the Queen yesterday. Here FEMAIL reveals the fate of the first two King Charles. Charles I, who became the nation's king at the tender age of 24 following the death of his brother Henry, was put on trial for treason by MPs, including the Parliamentarian general Oliver Cromwell, after they claimed he had committed 'wicked' abuses of power' (left). Meanwhile King Charles II, who was King of Scotland from 1649 until 1651, and King of England, Scotland and Ireland from the 1660 Restoration of the monarchy until his death in 1685, was so notorious he was known as the 'Merry Monarch' (center).
The real-life horror behind Mila Kunis' new Netflix movie: How Luckiest Girl Alive author Jessica Knoll used her own traumatic gang rape to pen best-selling novel that inspired streaming site's upcoming blockbuster
American author and former Cosmopolitan editor Knoll, 39, who hails from Pennsylvania, released her first novel, Luckiest Girl Alive, in May 2015. The book, which spent four months on the New York Times Best Seller list, was about a young woman and sexual assault victim named Ani. At first, Knoll said she drew from stories she had heard from others while writing Ani's tale, but she later revealed she was the victim of a horrifying gang rape. Knoll explained in a 2016 essay that she once got drunk at a party and awoke to three different guys sexually assaulting her - when she was just 15 years old. The writer said she kept it a secret years, but decided to share her story with the world in an attempt to finally heal, and to help other victims to feel less alone. Knoll is executive producing and wrote the screenplay for the upcoming Netflix adaptation, which is set to premiere on September 30.
