Meghan Markle called out for Archie's expensive pajamas in Mother's Day post: ‘Isn't relatable'
In this economy?
Meghan Markle got ripped over her Mother's Day post, declaring she's 'juggling it all' while dressing her son, Prince Archie, 6, in a pricey pair of children's pajamas.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, took to social media on Sunday, May 11, to celebrate all the moms out there while including a photo of herself with the two children she shares with Prince Harry, 40 — Archie and Princess Lilibet, 3.
Neither Markle nor her kids' faces appear in the snap, taken on what appears to be their Montecito, Calif., balcony. All of their backs are to the camera as she holds Archie and Lilibet in each arm, and they climb all over her.

'Happy Mother's Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy!' Markle's post began before directing the message to her children.
'And to these two gems – who still attempt to climb 'mama mountain', smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable adventure….being your mom is the greatest privilege of my life,' she continued.
'I, too, 'love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the french fries in all the world.'

While her words seem nice enough, several saw fault in her post, especially when she claimed to be 'juggling it all' as her son is dressed in expensive sleepwear.
Turns out, Archie's pajamas are seriously fancy and costly, leaving some to scowl at the princess' attempt to be relatable.
His white and black sleepwear set is from the New York luxury label La Ligne and known as the 'Navy/white Enfant Bonne Nuit Pajamas,' as Hello! first pointed out.

While the stylish pajamas are no longer available on their website, the price of the button-up set was listed as $75 online.
'Meghan Markle's Mother's Day post includes a detail that proves she isn't the relatable mother-of-two she likes to seem,' Daily Mail posted on X.
Others seemed to take issue with the fact that Archie and Lilibet seem to be 'always in pajamas.'
9 Social media users also slammed Meghan for not including her own mom in her Mother's Day post.

'These children are almost always in pajamas on social media as well which is bizarre. It's like she only sees them when they're going to bed,' someone shared. 'I've never seen them without their PJ's. When they put cream cheese on bagels at Valentines… When they doing cookies in the kitchen in the afternoon… When Lili was staring down at a game board w Serena… What…the Nanny's don't dress them either?' joked another.
Some people ridiculed Markle for not including her own mom, Doria Ragland, in her Mother's Day post, and questioned why Prince Harry did not share a social media tribute to his wife.
'This is a Mother's Day post to HERSELF. It isn't a post honouring her own mother, Doria. Weird, huh? Also, why is there no message issued from Harry to honour the mother of his children?' one X user tweeted.
'Leave it to #MeghanMarkle to make Mothers Day all about her and not mention her own mother. Not a Happy Mothers Day to Doria, not a photo, not even a passing reference. Instead she congratulated herself on how amazing she is and how much her kids worship her. Very telling,' wrote a second.

But not everyone was hating on Markle's sweet dedication. Some praised the princess for the adorable photo with her children.
'Meghan Sussex (née Markle) and Amber Heard haters are so bitter and hateful about them celebrating their children. The toxic patriarchy is seething, meanwhile the mothers are mothering on Mother's Day,' someone replied in defense of both Markle and Amber Heard, who announced on Sunday that she had welcomed twins.
'Meghan Sussex and her little ones are an enchanting sight on this wonderful Mother's Day,' added another. 'This Mother's Day photo by Meghan is so touching. Happy Mother's Day to you all,' tweeted a third.
Archie's pajama set wasn't the only expensive clothing item worn during Markle's special day.
In the photo, the duchess was sporting a pricey cashmere cream sweater from Brochu Walker that retails for a whopping $400, and that's only her top half.
Despite failing to post a Mother's Day tribute to his wife, Prince Harry and Markle couldn't keep their hands to themselves while at one of Beyoncé's Los Angeles, Calif., stops on her 'Cowboy Carter' tour last week — and, based on their view, they likely dropped a pretty penny for the tickets.

Dua Lipa Confirms She's Engaged To Callum Turner — & Talks Starting A Family
Dua Lipa has finally confirmed her engagement to Callum Turner. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner spent New Years Eve together, and based on the giant ring Dua's wearing on THAT finger, it looks like they could be spending the rest of their lives together too! This celebrity couple were first spotted together in January 2024, and immediately became my favorite couple, like, ever. Engagement rumors were flying by the end of the year, and thanks to some of Dua Lipa's Instagram posts, the internet is more convinced than ever that these two will be headed down the aisle. And in June 2025, Dua Lipa finally confirmed the two will be tying the knot soon. Here's what she had to say! Yes, Callum Turner and Dua Lipa are engaged! The actress tells that 'yes, we're engaged,' and that 'it's very exciting.' I don't know about y'all but I'm thrilled. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling,' she continues, and they're in no rush. 'Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like, 'Oh, what would I wear?'' However, it sounds like Dua can't stop thinking about her ring. 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me," she adds. "It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' And will the couple be starting a family anytime soon? The singer admits 'it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take." 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens," she continues. "I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children." Dua Lipa and Callum Turner made their red carpet (er, blue carpet) debut at the 2025 Met Gala in complementary black outfits. Dua's sheer bodice and feathered skirt, plus her slick hairstyle, was giving contemporary flapper, while Callum looked dapper in a black suit and white tie. Peep Dua's ring on THAT finger! In a post celebrating the holidays, Dua Lipa posted a roundup of photos — led by a shot of her wearing a sherpa jacket and reindeer antlers. But as fun as her outfit is, the internet immediately focused on another detail: her new ring. It appears to be a diamond on a chunky gold band, and if you ask me, the ring's modern, glam look is the perfect vibe for the "Houdini" singer. "THE RING," one user commented, while another user said, "ENGAGED VIBESSSSSSSSSS," under another . And when Dua Lipa finally posted photos from her epic New Year's Eve celebration on January 3, a third user commented, "We all still waiting to see the 💍." TLDR; the singer's fans really want to know if she's engaged! But if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that this couple won't tell us unless they want to. And I'm here for it! Dua Lipa and Callum Turner keep their relationship pretty private (aside from some very cute walks), but according to one source, they've been "mad about each other" from the start. And it's clear because these two can't keep their hands off each other! "Dua and Callum are so in love and know this is forever," a source told in December 2024. 'They are engaged and couldn't be happier. Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally and this is the cherry on the cake." "Callum is such a solid support for Dua and they make a wonderful couple," the source continues. "Their family and friends are so happy. It's been an amazing Christmas for them.' Stay tuned for the latest news on Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's engagement, and read up on ! This post has been updated.

Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift enjoy rare night out at Stanley Cup Final Game 4
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift might be enchanted with hockey now. The star couple was on hand at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Panthers and Oilers. Kelce wore a red top with red shorts as he rocked a white and red 'Palm Tree Crew' Panthers hat while Swift appeared to keep her look neutral in an off-white top and bottom. Advertisement Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final Swift, 35, has had plenty of viral hockey moments in life, including a reveal of the 2009-10 Predators then-new third jerseys during a concert in Nashville and, four years later, taking a picture with former Hurricanes star Joel Skinner, even holding up his jersey. She also donned Islanders gear in a skit with Jimmy Fallon for the 'Tonight Show' in 2015. Advertisement Kelce, who previously posted about his love of playoff hockey, and his brother Jason debated in October on the 'New Heights' podcast about which NHL players could also play in the NFL, and they named Oilers star Connor McDavid as one who could. In April, a source told Page Six that Swift and Kelce have enjoyed a 'special' offseason, which has largely been low-key after the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to the Eagles. 'They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends, too. It's a special time for them,' the source said. Advertisement The two were spotted last month in Philadelphia to celebrate Mother's Day, though before that, they opted out of the Met Gala in New York due to scheduling issues. Taylor Swift celebrates with Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs after defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 26, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. Getty Images Kelce, who announced earlier this offseason that he is coming back to the Chiefs for at least one more year, will likely have more of Swift at games this year as she is not touring this coming season. Advertisement 'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season,' a source told People on Thursday. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule. 'This fall will be completely different. It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.' The Panthers entered Game 4 leading the series 2-1.

Todd Chrisley breaks social media silence after 2 years: Here's what he said
Todd Chrisley breaks social media silence after 2 years: Here's what he said Show Caption Hide Caption Todd Chrisley speaks after Trump pardon, release from prison Reality TV star Todd Chrisley made his first public statement after he and his wife Julie received a pardon from President Donald Trump. Todd Chrisley has broken his social media silence for the first time since he went to prison for bank fraud and tax evasion. On June 12, the 56-year-old "Chrisley Knows Best" star took to Instagram to celebrate one of his children's achievements. Youngest son Grayson Chrisley, 19, made the dean's list after his first semester at the University of Alabama. "God is good all the time, @graysonchrisley," Todd captioned his post. "I love you to the moon and back and we couldn't be more proud, you have shown great character and fortitude and stood with your lord and savior amidst the fire and came out the other side never smelling of smoke, you are proof of (God's) word." The caption continued, "Stand tall, stand true and stand for your fellow brothers in Christ. I love you Gray Gray." More than 14,000 undergraduate students who earned a GPA of at least 3.5 made UA's dean's list in the spring semester; those who earn a 4.0 end up on the president's list. Fall semester enrollment totaled around 34,000 students, with spring enrollment numbers not yet released. Where does Grayson Chrisley go to college? Older sister Savannah Chrisley, 27, announced Grayson was moving to college in January. She shared clips from move-in day, captioning the post, "And just like that… my baby brother is off to college. Moving Grayson into the University of Alabama this weekend has been one of the hardest and most beautiful moments of my life. The past two years, Gray had every reason to give up, but instead, he showed up for himself and for the people he loves." Savannah continued, "We've never been apart… ever. And my heart feels like it's shattered into a million pieces. But my overwhelming sadness is matched only by the pride I feel watching him chase his dreams." What happened to Julie and Todd Chrisley? Todd's post came more than two weeks after he was released from FPC Pensacola in Florida, where he'd served more than two years of his nine-year prison sentence, following a full pardon from President Trump. When asked during a May 30 press conference whether he had any remorse for the crimes for which he was convicted, Todd said, "I'd have remorse if it was something that I did." In June 2022, Todd and wife Julie Chrisley, who portrayed themselves as real estate tycoons in the South on their USA Network shows, were found guilty of conspiring to defraud community banks in Atlanta out of more than $36 million. The pair was accused of running a scheme that, through fraudulent loans, defrauded the IRS and committed tax evasion. Julie Chrisley was additionally convicted of obstruction of justice and wire fraud. Trump pardons reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley President Trump called Savannah Chrisley from the Oval Office in the White House to tell her he wanted to pardon her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley. Todd Chrisley was initially sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie Chrisley received a seven-year sentence, and both reported to their respective federal prisons in January 2023. On May 27, Trump called the Chrisleys' middle daughter, Savannah Chrisley, to let her know her parents were "going to be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow." When Savannah took the podium at the May 30 press conference, she announced that the "Chrisley Knows Best" stars would be returning to reality television. Filming has apparently already begun on a new show that will document the reunification of Todd and Julie Chrisley.
