Well, 2019 is almost at an end, and all over the world, bitter rivals are burying the hatchet in hopes of entering the new year with a clean karmic slate.
Unfortunately, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton cannot be counted among those who are looking to make peace with their enemies.
As you're probably aware, the Royals are pretty big on customs, traditions and important sparkly objects.
And since Christmas is all about customs, traditions and important sparkly objects, the Queen and company really shine this time of year -- literally.
Meghan Markle takes a lot flak from a lot of people.
We guess that's to be expected when you -- marry the person you fell in love with and start a family?
Back in 2017, Meghan Markle's college yearbook photo surfaced online, and all over social media, heads exploded in shock and confusion.
Clearly, the internet's sharpest minds agreed, the royal family has been infiltrated by the undead, and the Duchess of Sussex is some sort of vampire-like creature.
Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and baby Archie are in the United States at the moment.
While the agenda for their excursion is being kept under wraps, it looks as though the young family will remain in America for the remainder of the year.
We probably (read: hopefully) don't need to tell you that Brits don't celebrate Thanksgiving.
Something about a bunch of people risking death in order to flee their country doesn't appeal to the British sense of patriotism. Go figure.
On Thursday, millions of Americans will attempt to set aside their differences long enough to enjoy a meal with members of their extended family.
If you count yourself among the many who are dreading the experience, just remember that it could be a lot worse -- you could have the Markles as relatives.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just got married, folks!
Okay, maybe not just.
As Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan continue thier war with racist British tabloids, they have found an unexpected ally.
Kim Kardashian, who has worked for years for the kind of fame that Harry considers a family curse, is in their corner.
We probably don't need to tell you that Meghan Markle is not a huge fan of the British tabloid press.
The animosity between the Royals and the shadier members of the UK media goes back generations -- but it seems it took an an outsider to call attention to just how ridiculous and untenable the situation has become.
Pretty much from the moment Meghan Markle welcomed her first child, the British tabloid media has been breathlessly speculating about the possibility of a younger sibling for little Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
In keeping with their policy of making Meghan's life as hellish as possible at all times, the press was demanding answers and publishing rumors about baby number two while Archie was still tethered to the Duchess via royal umbilical cord.
These are tough times for members of the British Royal Family.
Now, if you hit the lights every time you hear footsteps in the hall because you're three weeks behind on your rent, you might be feeling that "tough times" is a relative term -- and you would be right -- but hear us out:
Meghan Markle has been defending herself against multitudes of untrue and defamatory gossip stories invented by the British press.
But the hatred directed at her has taken its toll. Are Meghan and Harry laying the groundwork to leave the Royal Family?
As previously reported, Meghan Markle has no interest in talking to the Queen on Christmas.
But the angry Duchess of Sussex does now have an interest in speaking out about all those negative rumors that continue to swirl about her online and in unreliable print publication.
It's only been six months since Meghan Markle gave birth to her first child, a boy named Archie.
But despite the fact that assigning monikers to living things is clearly not her strong suit (we kid!) Meghan is apparently experiencing relentless pressure to provide little Archie with a younger sibling.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just made our week.
In honor of Prince Charles turning 71 years old today, the polarizing Royal Couple took to their official Instagram account to both send Harry's dad a few birthday wishes...
What a difference two years can make, huh?
On December 25, 2017, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tried squash rumors of a feud between themselves and other members of The Royal Family by attending church with Kate Middleton and Prince William.
Meghan Markle has had a tumultuous year.
That might seem an odd thing to say about a woman who welcomed a child in May and is about to finish her first full year as a member of the world's most famous family.
On this side of the pond, few public figures are as popular and well-liked as Meghan Markle.
But for reasons that defy explanation, many Brits don't share our objectively-correct positive opinion of the former Suits star,
Now that Meghan Markle has had a chance to catch her breath in the months since baby Archie's birth, fans want to know when Baby #2 is coming.
In a recent appearance, Harry and Meghan met with a group of ordinary Brits and their children.
Well, it seems the baseless contempt for Meghan Markle -- a woman who's worst crimes appear to be marrying the man she loves and devoting her life to humanitarian work -- has reached the level of a global epidemic.
At this point, no one in Meghan's orbit is safe from the barrage of criticism and disparagement that endlessly issues forth from both the media and a distressingly large army of online trolls.
She shoots...
... and fails to even come close to scoring?
Folks, there's irony, and then there's whatever the hell this is.
As you know, self-proclaimed billionaire Donald John Trump is famous for many things -- a complexion the color of ripe mango flesh, the most corrupt presidential administration in US history, and of course, the introduction of the phrase "Russian pee tape" into the journalistic mainstream.
Meghan Markle has a lot on her plate these days.
She's a new mom; she's still relatively new at this royal thing; and the British tabloid press treats her like she's new in school, and she spilled her dissected pig fetus on one of the popular kids during her first chemistry class.
