Meghan Markle gives first ever look at bedroom she shares with Prince Harry at $29m home
Meghan Markle is sharing more and more glimpses from her $29 million mansion now that she's back on Instagram, and her latest post reveals a place we've never seen her photograph before – her private bedroom.
The Duchess of Sussex shared a sweet snap alongside her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, from the incredible balcony that's attached to the master bedroom she shares with Prince Harry.
The alfresco spot features a pergola-style roof wrapped with vines and a patio area with potted plants. The views across their immaculate grounds are seriously stunning and it provides the perfect vantage point for the Sussexes to admire their favourite feature – the iconic palm trees.
When speaking to The Cut, Meghan revealed:"One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees. See how they're connected at the bottom? He goes, 'My love, it's us.' And now every day when Archie goes by us, he says, 'Hi, Momma. Hi, Papa.'" How sweet!
There's also a telescope positioned on the patio, ready and waiting for the family to admire the night sky. We've previously seen that Harry and Meghan also have a telescope in their home office, indicating that stargazing is perhaps a favourite pastime. A hobby Harry wouldn't have been able to do much of back in London due to the light pollution from the city buildings.
A video shared by Luxury Homes on YouTube has amazing footage around their mammoth Montecito mansion, including a full look at their bedroom balcony.
The clip shows there is also a chair and a sofa, making it the ideal spot to relax on balmy evenings once the children have gone to bed.
While the Sussexes are keen for privacy, Meghan has shared one glimpse into Princess Lilibet's nursery with a photo taken when she was a tiny newborn.
The room with wooden beams across the ceiling and a mural wallpaper also featured a Moses basket cot, wicker storage baskets and a real orchid on a traditional dresser.
This very room used to have a huge Princess bed in it before the family moved in, a photo from a former listing reveals.
The image shows a little girl's room decked out with a giant castle bed with stairs to the top and it even has a balcony. It's unknown if Lilibet now has a bed just like this, given the fact that she is a real-life princess it would be very apt.
Similarly with Prince Archie, we have seen photographs from his nursery but none from his big boy bedroom, and it's likely the Sussexes won't share this to afford him some privacy.
Harry and Meghan choose to take photographs of their children from the back to keep their identities concealed.

Dempsey on Pulisic, Pochettino and podcasts; River Plate's angry exit at Club World Cup
The Athletic FC ⚽ is The Athletic's daily football (or soccer, if you prefer) newsletter. Sign up to receive it directly to your inbox. Hello! Pulisic and Pochettino. Can we call it a beef? It's definitely causing beef in podcast land. On the way: 🗣️ Dempsey on Pulisic exclusive 🇩🇪 JD Vance's Dortmund date 😡 River Plate lose the plot 🚗 An unexpected licence plate In principle, Christian Pulisic has a point. The non-stop nature of the football calendar is absurd, and he cannot run himself into the ground. Complaints about scheduling would hit where they ought to hit hardest if, like him, other players began to tap out. But Mauricio Pochettino has a point, too. In representing the United States, it's not Pulisic's prerogative to pick and choose when he shows up. The occasional U.S. captain offering to appear in two warm-up friendlies this month but then miss the Gold Cup wasn't a particularly palatable compromise. Advertisement Pochettino's well-publicised decision was to omit him completely, leaving us in a situation where people are querying Pulisic, querying his relationship with Pochettino and querying why U.S. Soccer failed to get ahead of the saga. More to the point, how did the debate over Pulisic's absence end up playing out in the podcast world? Adam Crafton has interviewed one of those at the centre of the discourse, ex-USMNT forward Clint Dempsey, for The Athletic today. Two of Dempsey's old team-mates, Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, got the back-and-forth going by having a nibble at Pulisic on one podcast. Pulisic took them to task on another, and Dempsey then said his piece on a third. All this while Pulisic's father appeared to give Donovan a going-over, via an Instagram post which Pulisic himself later liked. It's a nuisance and a distraction for U.S. Soccer. With the World Cup looming, the last thing the governing body wants is a divide (or the perception of a divide) between their captain and their coach. Players don't dictate the plan, Pochettino said in response to questions about his top dog. Naturally, those listening picked up that quote and ran with it. Dempsey's latest views on the matter today are worth digesting, not least his thoughts on the handling of the PR: 🗣️ 'Why wasn't there a way we could have been more unified in the messaging that's going out to the public? You have one of the best players for the national team, and if it had been England, if Harry Kane was missing a tournament, there would be people asking questions.' 🗣️ 'Whether it was the Gold Cup, World Cup qualifying, the Confederations Cup, Copa America, the World Cup, I wanted to be there because, as a kid, I dreamed about representing my country.' 🗣️ 'I'm not trying to be a part of the drama. You're asking me my opinion and I'm giving you how I look at things. Everybody wants the same thing: to have the U.S. playing well.' Advertisement Pulisic has made more than 50 appearances in each of the past two seasons for club and country. Milan are laying the ground for more of the same in the 12 months ahead. He craved a rest, and the idea that it might do him good is not exactly far-fetched. The fresher the better for next year's World Cup. It's also true that his absence would be less worthy of comment if the USMNT were in better nick, but Pochettino has made a rough start and it could take victories against Costa Rica, Canada and Mexico to bag the Gold Cup. He badly needs that trophy to wipe the slate clean. The boys from Brazil are giving it laldy at the Club World Cup and sure enough, it's four from four for the Brazilian clubs in the round of 16 after Fluminense followed Flamengo, Botafogo and Palmeiras through. Not so the Argentinians, who have both fallen at the first hurdle despite the endeavours of their box-office supporters. Boca Juniors were squeezed out by Bayern Munich and Benfica on Tuesday and, last night, River Plate succumbed with all the dignity of Salt Bae at a World Cup final. Monterrey's 4-0 whipping of Urawa Red Diamonds — taking Mexico's sole hope into a last-16 game against Borussia Dortmund — meant River had to beat Inter. They came up short, losing 2-0 at the additional cost of two red cards (we've had a fair few in the States — 10 already, half of them for the Argentine sides). Left-back Marcos Acuna was so embittered that he tried to start a fight with Inter's Denzel Dumfries, resulting in Acuna being manhandled to the ground by a mob of people (above). Objects flew from the stands as Dumfries and others ran for the tunnel. Never let it be said that nobody cares about the Club World Cup. Once in a while, you see some statistics that make your eyes pop out. Chris Weatherspoon's study of geographical spending power is one of those moments. We already know how wealth is distributed in global football, but still: the Premier League accumulating a net spend of more than £4billion ($5.48bn) over the past three seasons while Germany's Bundesliga, for one example, basically broke even is extraordinary. The world's richest division has the clout to spend at will. Only Saudi Arabia's Pro League comes remotely close. The status quo was aptly demonstrated by Liverpool signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for a £116m package and a club-record fee. Chris is right in pointing out that the knock-on effect of the Premier League being so loaded is that teams elsewhere are squeezing every last cent out of them. The English are buying — and you absolutely want to be selling to them. (Kick-offs ET/UK time. All Club World Cup matches are shown on DAZN in the U.S. and UK, as well as the other channels stated.) Club World Cup: Group G (both 3pm/8pm): Juventus vs Manchester City — TNT, Fubo (U.S. only); Wydad Casablanca vs Al Ain; Group H (both 9pm/2am): Al Hilal vs Pachuca; Red Bull Salzburg vs Real Madrid. International friendly: USWNT vs Republic of Ireland, 9pm/2am — TBS, Fubo, Peacock Premium (U.S. only). UEFA Under-19 Championship final: Spain vs Netherlands, 2pm/7pm — (UK only). There I was, driving to record a podcast yesterday, when I spotted this banner on the licence plate of a Mercedes in front of me: "FCSB is not Steaua Bucharest!". Hardly the message of protest I expected to read in the suburbs of northern England. It harks back to a story we brought you in January about FCSB, the club from Romania who tried to claim the history and honours of Steaua but were ordered by a domestic court to relinquish them. One of our readers, Andrei-Sava Ionescu, got in touch to inform us in no uncertain terms that the teams were entirely separate entities. The driver of the Mercedes, an ardent Steaua fan, pulled up next to me in a McDonald's car park. After a chat, he let me take a photo of his plate because he happened to be seething — about Steaua being denied promotion from Romania's second division due to their ownership structure, and a proposed vote on changes to the rules failing to take place this week. His license plate was a lone flag flying, 2,800 kilometres from home.

Prince Harry ‘regrets' his role in royal rift, royal author says: ‘Wishes he'd done things differently'
Prince Harry is feeling regretful over the role he played in widening the ongoing royal rift, with a prominent royal author claiming he wishes that 'he'd done things differently.' The Duke of Sussex, 40, has been embroiled in a years-long feud with the Windsor clan ever since he and his wife, Meghan Markle, took the plunge and hightailed across the pond to the US. Since setting up camp in Montecito, Calif., in 2020, the Sussexes have only returned to the UK a handful of times — underscoring just how distant both camps have become. Advertisement 5 Prince Harry is feeling regretful over the role he played in widening the ongoing royal rift, with a prominent royal author claiming he wishes that 'he'd done things differently.' VIA REUTERS According to royal author Duncan Larcombe, the 'Spare' author wishes he had acted differently when things began to go awry. 'Harry is a sensitive soul and always wore his heart on his sleeve, so whether he'd admit it publicly or not, I'm sure he's full of regrets and wishes he'd done things differently,' Larcombe told OK! Magazine. Advertisement 'With Trooping the Colour and Father's Day falling on the same weekend, it was bound to make him look back at the happy relationships he once had with his brother and dad, and I'm sure he'd love to be able to rebuild those,' added Larcombe, author of 'Prince Harry: The Inside Story.' After he and the 'Suits' alum, 43, quit royal life, their taxpayer-funded UK security was yanked along with it. 5 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, 40, have been embroiled in an ongoing feud with the Windsor clan for more than five years. Getty Images As a result, the Invictus Games founder is reluctant to ever return to his home soil, having previously highlighted his frustration at no longer boasting 'full police protection' — for which he lost his appeal earlier this year. Advertisement After losing the appeal, the duke said he 'couldn't see a world' in which he and Markle would be able to bring their son, Prince Archie, 6, and daughter, Princess Lilibet, 4, to the UK. 'By saying he can't bring them here because of the court ruling, Harry has nailed his colors to the mast,' Larcombe told the outlet. 5 The pair cirrently reside in Montecito, Calif., with their two children. meghan/Instagram 'Meghan is probably quite reluctant to come to the UK anyway because they'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to realize just how much criticism they've had for their betrayals and truth bombs. But more importantly, there are real and genuine threats.' Advertisement The royal expert insists that the threats the Sussexes have received were most likely from 'lunatics and radical protestors.' 'At big royal events, the security you actually see is the tip of the iceberg,' he went on. 'There are a lot of undercover officers and agents working, too.' 5 Since quitting royal life in 2020, the Sussexes have only returned to the UK a handful of times. AFP via Getty Images 'Without the official support and security, Harry and Meghan are left with two or three bodyguards who are pretty blind to what the potential threats are,' Larcombe added. The Post has reached out to reps for the Sussexes for comment. Despite his hesitation at returning to England, the former working royal is said to be extending an olive branch to his estranged father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William. Harry will reportedly be inviting his estranged family members to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham in the hope of a royal reconciliation.

The Games will open on July 12, 2027 and conclude on July 17 — which coincides with Queen Camilla's 80th birthday.

In-N-Out sues YouTube prankster for posing as worker making ‘lewd' and ‘racially insensitive' remarks to customers
Popular fast-food chain In-N-Out is taking legal action against a YouTube prankster who disguised himself as an employee and made 'lewd' and 'racially insensitive' remarks to unsuspecting customers. Bryan Arnett — who has more than 600K followers on YouTube and Instagram — posed as one of the fast food chain's employees at several of its Southern California restaurants on April 25, going as far as to don In-N-Out's iconic white T-shirt, red apron, and paper hat to fool customers, SFGate reported. The social media prankster pulled off the stunt on Easter, when the restaurants were closed, and was seen offering fake menus, making inappropriate comments, and asking uncomfortable personal questions to customers. Advertisement 3 YouTuber Bryan Arnett is being sued by In-N-Out for prank videos he filmed at its locations. United States District Court Central District of California The video, which has since been made private, shows Arnett making comments to unsuspecting diners such as, 'I like watching my wife sleeping with other men. Is that something you'd be interested in?' and that the restaurant is 'only serving gay people.' He also had one of his buddies pretend to be a customer and claim that a cockroach had been found in an order while speaking to a real customer. Later on in the video, he disgustingly pretended that a condom had fallen into a meal, according to SFGate. Advertisement On June 20, In-N-Out filed a lawsuit against Arnett with the United States District Court for falsely representing the company and defaming its brand. '[Arnett] visited multiple In-N-Out locations in Southern California … wearing a fake uniform bearing [In-N-Out] 's trademarks,' the lawsuit, obtained by SFGate, reads. '[Arnett] made lewd, derogatory, and profane remarks, such as stating that In-N-Out had cockroaches and condoms in its food, and that In-N-Out Associates put their feet in lettuce served to customers.' 3 The social media prankster pulled off the stunt on Easter, when the restaurants were closed, and was seen offering fake menus, making inappropriate comments, and asking uncomfortable personal questions to customers. @ Advertisement Arnett also asked customers if they wanted their meal 'doggy style' — a play on the chain's 'animal style' food order option, according to the lawsuit. The YouTuber also allegedly made racist remarks to one customer, asking them if they wanted a 'monkey burger' and telling them it came with a 'damn-near black bun.' The company has called Arnett's stunt and remarks 'defamatory, insulting, racially insensitive, bizarre, and lewd.' They emphasize that his comments were not merely jokes but rather portrayed the restaurant chain in a negative light, harming its well-deserved reputation. Advertisement Arnett has a history of run-ins with In-N-Out management before the chain filed its suit against him. 3 In-N-Out has called Arnett's stunt and remarks 'defamatory, insulting, racially insensitive, bizarre, and lewd.' jetcityimage – The prankster had been previously removed from locations in the past for trying to pay for strangers' orders with pennies and for posting fake 'employee of the month' plaques featuring his own photo in its restaurants. Following the lawsuit, Arnett posted a video on his YouTube channel in response to the legal action, but it has since been put on private. However, the influencer appears to be undeterred by the lawsuit, according to SFGate, which viewed the response video before it was made private. 'I wouldn't say I'm worried about the lawsuit,' Arnett said. 'Like yeah, sure, it'll probably be annoying or whatever, but whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen.' In-N-Out is taking a strong stand against Arnett by seeking a lifetime ban from 418 restaurants nationwide, along with any profits he may have made from his video and possible financial damages.
