Relatable Paris Fury gives look at life as mum-of-seven & it's stark contrast to Meghan Markle post on ‘juggling it all'
THEY'RE both married to royalty in some sense, but their lives couldn't be more different.
While Paris Fury is married to The Gypsy King, Tyson Fury, actress Meghan Markle is married to the Royal Family's Prince Harry - and their recent Instagram posts demonstrate just how polar their personalities are.

Yesterday, Paris gave an insight into what life is like as a mum-of-seven, and sarcastically joked about the 'excitement' that comes with being a hands-on parent.
The 35-year-old posted an Instagram story which showed her matching up her children's socks at her dining table, and joked: 'Sock pairing, how exciting.'
It was a stark contrast to 43-year-old Meghan's recent post on the same platform about 'juggling it all' as a mum-of-two.
The Duchess of Sussex's photograph, which was shared on Sunday (May 11) to mark Mother's Day in the US, showed Meghan with her back to the camera carrying Archie, six, and Lilibet, three.
The kids were wearing designer pyjamas, one pair of which cost £61 from La Ligne NY, and looking out of a large balcony onto some lush greenery.
Meghan captioned the photograph with, 'Happy Mother's Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy', in a bid to be relatable.
But the wife of The Gypsy King, 36, presented as far more relatable from her dining table at 1pm on Monday (May 12) with a can of Coke Zero doing her household laundry.
Paris has long been regarded as the most down-to-earth mumfluencer out there, despite her and Tyson's combined estimated net worth over £180 million.
The couple have come a long way because just 15 years ago, they were having a £35,000 Gypsy-style one-bedroom cabin built on the site of Tyson's father's scrap yard.
Fast forward to today and they now live in a £1.7 million mansion in Morecambe, Lancs.
Despite her husband's astronomical wages and their life of luxury, Paris will never stop bargain hunting and doing her weekly shop in Asda.
She still goes to the same superstore she and Tyson were shopping in when they first got married 16 years ago.
According to the mum-of-seven, a down-to-earth attitude helps keep her children grounded - and she wants to set a humble example for them.
'None of my kids are really the type to say, 'I want this, I want that',' she revealed on their Netflix series, At Home With The Furys.

'Not to sound big-headed, but obviously, if I wanted to go tomorrow and shop out Selfridges' floor, I could do.
'But what am I gonna teach the kids doing that?
'To go and buy five designer handbags, 10 pairs of shoes, diamonds and pearls, what have the kids got to look forward to in life then?
'We don't want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something.'
Paris and Tyson share Venezuela, 15, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, eight, Valencia, seven, Prince Adonis Amaziah, six, Athena, three, and Rico, one.

Ulrika Jonsson admits 'crippling anxiety, fears and self-loathing' led her to alcohol as she marks one year of sobriety
has opened up about her journey to sobriety in a powerful open letter, revealing that she has now been alcohol-free for over a year and it has transformed her life in ways she never imagined. The TV presenter, 57, made the shocking admission that 'I can't do this any more,' was the life-saving message she sent to a friend on June 5 last year - a moment she now credits with rescuing her from the depths of addiction. She wrote in The Sun: 'It was a hangover day, much like any other, really. I sat on the sofa with my liver and brain pickled in equal measure, wrapped up in the blanket of shame, and something made me reach out for help.' The star, described herself as a 'binge drinker who drank to black out,' and detailed how her addiction crept in slowly. Although she didn't drink daily, lose her job, children, or end up in prison or get arrested, the toll it took was significant.

The TV presenter, 57, made the shocking admission that 'I can't do this any more,' was the life-saving message she sent to a friend on June 5 last year - a moment she now credits with rescuing her from the depths of addiction Ulrika admitted to drinking for the wrong reasons - to numb her 'crippling anxiety, to escape, to disappear and extinguish my self-loathing'. She also spoke openly about the shame and secrecy that surrounded her behaviour. From drinking neat rum in a cupboard at 11am to waking up with no memory of the night before, she revealed that her drinking quickly spiralled out of control, but remained hidden behind a polished exterior. Despite having a 'quite unremarkable' drinking history on paper, Ulrika revealed the emotional damage was profound. 'Alcoholics come in all shapes and sizes and many live among us in plain sight,' she wrote, adding that her family history made her vulnerable. 'I wasn't cut out for life,' she confessed, recalling how alcohol became her coping mechanism. 'I wanted the full anaesthetic effect… I just wanted the feelings to stop.' Since giving up alcohol, Ulrika says she has learned more about herself in the past year than in the previous five decades and added how she has had a 'spiritual awakening' and found an 'inner peace'. While family and friends have celebrated the milestone, with her daughter even offering to take her out for a meal, Ulrika admitted the lead-up to her one-year anniversary was filled with anxiety. She now lives one day at a time and accepts that recovery is a lifelong journey. It comes after Ulrika marked one year sober, sharing an emotional Instagram post about the milestone on Thursday. The TV star shared before and after photos, captioned 'sober' and 'drunk' as she told her 204k followers that 'the journey goes on.' 'Today I'm marking 1yr of sobriety,' Ulrika wrote. 'No fanfare, no medal, no trophy. The journey goes on. 'A huge thanks to all those beautiful people who have supported me; understood me; scooped me up and handled me tenderly and without judgement; who nudged me in the right direction; who made me laugh and helped me shed the crippling shame.' She paid tribute to her four children Cameron, 30, Bo, 25, Martha, 20, and Malcolm, 16, and apologised for the concern she has caused them over the years: 'Thank you to my kids for their support; for having faith in me after I must have worried them so.' 'For close friends for their patience and belief. My sobriety will continue to be my priority. Turns out it IS possible to teach old dogs new tricks. Alongside the before and after snaps, Ulrika shared a childhood photo of herself as well a poignant reminder of 'this day last year'. In December Ulrika marked her six months sober milestone, as she credited her loved ones for helping her get this far. In her post, the former Gladiators star shared a picture of herself presently as well as an older snap of herself 'under the influence of alcohol', which she admitted that she previously 'couldn't bear' to look at. 'A huge thanks to all those beautiful people who have supported me; understood me; scooped me up and handled me tenderly and without judgement, she captioned the post Alongside the before and after snaps, Ulrika shared a childhood photo of herself as well a poignant reminder of 'this day last year' Detailing her road to sobriety, Ulrika penned: 'Today I am 6 months sober. On the 5th June 2024, I had the gift of desperation and reached out for help. I no longer recognised myself and I surrendered. Referring to the image where she was 'drunk', Ulrika added: 'Pic. 2: is of me in the midst of the madness. Another drunk moment. At first I couldn't bear to look back at pictures of myself under the influence of alcohol. The cloak of shame was too heavy a burden. 'But now I look at those images and feel pity and sympathy for that girl - she desperately needed to be scooped up; held tightly and helped. Not shamed or judged. She was quite, quite broken and had no idea there was another way.' Concluding her post, she shared: 'There is so much more to say - and I will say it in time. I'm still very much at the beginning of my journey but my life has changed in a beautiful way. It's a spiritual thing. One day at a time….

St Denis Medical, review: yet another workplace mockumentary, flatlining on originality
Original ideas are thin on the ground in TV, but a mockumentary workplace comedy set in a US hospital? You've definitely seen this one before, spread across different shows. St Denis Medical (BBC One) is The Office meets Scrubs with a dash of St Elsewhere and Parks and Recreation, while unfortunately not being as good as any of them. It's not so bad, though, even if the BBC has bought it in from NBC and dumped it in a graveyard slot. They're hoping you'll pick it up on iPlayer, where the half-hour episodes are available as a boxset. The setting is a small, regional hospital in Oregon. Turns out they have the same problems over there as we have over here: low morale, chaotic A&E departments, intransigent receptionists who would have to see your internal organs fall out before they let you see a doctor. Then there's the endless admin. A consultant is asked how he spends a typical day, and replies: 'Well, I just examined a patient with a heart murmur. That took about two minutes. Now I'm going to spend 40 minutes filling out electronic health records.' That's Dr Leonard (David Alan Grier), a twinkly hospital veteran and the most likeable character here. Some of the others owe a hefty debt to The Office. If David Brent was running a hospital, can't you imagine him saying, as Joyce (Wendi McLendon-Covey) does here: 'I was an oncologist for 20 years but, now that I'm a hospital administrator, I'm battling different kinds of cancers – like cynicism, pessimism, people questioning my judgment. Those attitudes are the real cancers.'? She performs dance routines as employees wince, and asks them: 'What's the most infectious thing in a hospital?' When they suggest various diseases, she says: 'No, you guys, the most infectious thing in a hospital is a smile. ' Then there's Alex (Fargo's Allison Tolman), a supervising nurse in A&E. She's the one with whom we are supposed to sympathise because she's brimming with goodness and devoted to the job, patiently dealing with difficult patients, difficult colleagues and difficult bosses. Alex gives the show a sentimental side that can verge on the cloying. Her perennially sarcastic colleague, Serena (Kahyun Kim), is more fun. Writer Justin Spitzer previously worked on the US version of The Office, as well as Scrubs and workplace comedy Superstore, and has stayed well within his comfort zone. He's done a competent job, but it all feels too safe. Dr Leonard has been given a quirk, but it's simply that he has a very sweet tooth; the trauma surgeon swaggers around as if he's God's gift, when it would have been more interesting to steer away from that stereotype. The mockumentary touches – all those glances at the camera – feel hackneyed now. Shows like this have been so done to death that we've come full circle, and it's the traditional, canned laughter sitcoms that are starting to look edgy.

Five Great Reads: Jacinda Ardern, how they made The Goonies, and a year of celibacy
Top of the weekend to you all. This week's learning: sometimes you have to endure the tedium to experience the joy. Happy reading. Apparently there is more to YouTube than cat videos and countdowns of the 17 post-grunge songs that should have been massive (but weren't). Just ask the 400 million people who subscribe to MrBeast, creator of such viral smashes as I Spent 100 Hours Inside the Pyramids! and I Survived the 5 Deadliest Places on Earth. Jimmy Donaldson, the 27-year-old behind the moniker, is a big deal. Mark O'Connell goes deep on an entertainer who he describes as 'monomaniacally committed to a lethally pure conception of algorithmically determined entertainment'. Star-maker performance: Donaldson's breakout video was 2017's I Counted to 100,000!, which, over the course of about 40 hours, did exactly what it said on the tin. How long will it take to read: Twelve minutes. A key to the appeal of The Goonies is perhaps the casting: enduring stars Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Ke Huy Quan and Martha Plimpton among them, all before they were famous. Astin and some of his fellow child actors, alongside crew members and Joe Pantoliano – one of the film's adult villains – share the inside story of what it was like on the set 40 years ago. Steven Spielberg plays a prominent, uncredited role. Friends for life: The cast members stay in touch via an email chain and still catch up. 'We just know one another, and we kind of pick up exactly were we left off,' says Kerri Green, who played Andy. 'It's pretty special.' How long will it take to read: Five minutes. Further reading: Speaking of classic children's films of 1985, Marty McFly's guitar from Back to the Future is missing. Jacinda Ardern likes drum'n'bass, has been seen in Portishead T-shirts, and was elected prime minister of New Zealand aged 37. Just six years later, as Jacinda-mania began to sour with some constituents, she dramatically resigned. In her first major interview since calling it quits, Ardern takes the Guardian's editor-in-chief Katharine Viner through her Mormon upbringing, her entry to politics, and learning she was pregnant days before becoming PM. 'I've always felt like I had a general sense of where New Zealand is at on something. I relied on it a lot while I was in office. You feel an energy.' – Ardern on what guided her response to the Christchurch mosque massacre. How long will it take to read: Ten minutes. Further reading: Ardern asked Queen Elizabeth II for advice on parenting in the public eye – the monarch's response was succinct and pragmatic.

The first 'light trap' he set up helped scientists identify an astonishing 3,000 species – these days, far fewer moths flutter towards the glow. The declining numbers are part of what some call a 'new era' of ecological collapse, where rapid extinctions occur in regions that have little direct contact with people. The loss of insect life can set other dominoes falling, and a clear culprit has emerged: global heating. How long will it take to read: Five minutes. Further reading: Blatten, the tiny Swiss village engulfed by a mountain – another entry from our age of extinction series. The US professor and author Melissa Febos reckons humans have a 'collective derangement' around love and sex, hooked on the early stages of infatuation. So after a 'ravaging vortex' of a relationship and five other 'brief entanglements' she went cold turkey for a year. The Dry Season, her new memoir, details how her life subsequently flourished. Happy ending: Having redefined love as 'contingent upon a very conscious choice to support the flourishing of another person', Febos met her now wife. How long will it take to read: Five minutes.
