Prince William

Well, the lights were on the windows, and the carols were on the radio, but for a lot of folks, it still feels like Christmas didn't actually happen this year.

And if you're one of the many people who are feeling disappointed by this year's festivities -- or lack thereof -- perhaps you can take some comfort in knowing that the Duchess of Cambridge feels your pain.

As the world prepares for a Christmas celebration unlike any that's ever been seen before, we look to our leaders to guide us through what will hopefully be the last stage of the coronavirus pandemic.

In other words, it's not exactly ideal timing for a breach in protocol from public figures like Kate Middleton and Prince William.

Your move, Meghan Markle.

On Thursday morning, Prince William and Kate Middleton gave fans a rare look at their precious children -- Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louie, 2 -- via what has become one of Great Britain's most eagerly-anticipated releases:

If you're a fan of the Netflix series The Crown, you know that the show offers a warts-and-all portrayal of the British Royal Family and key figures -- such as the Queen herself -- are often depicted in an unflattering light.

That said, the show is far from a hit job or an attempt to needlessly smear the Windsors.

Generally speaking, Christmas is a time for forgiveness, compassion, and understanding.

But like everything else about this year, Christmas 2020 will likely be one giant sh-tshow, so what better time to stick it to the in-laws you can't stand anyway?

When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry moved to Los Angeles after a temporary sojourn on Canada's Vancouver Island, it was widely assumed that the couple would eventually enter the media sphere.

Of course, no one guessed that it would happen so quickly or that the couple's very first project would be quite so lucrative.

Last month, Meghan Markle celebrated her 39th birthday, and to the surprise of many, she received warm wishes from the Queen, and from Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The social media tributes were more than a little unexpected, as the Duchess of Sussex hasn't always been on the greatest terms with her royal in-laws.

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles as senior members of the royal, many supporters of the couple hoped that the former duke and duchess would finally have a chance to tell their side of the story.

Now, it seems that day has come … sort of.

Even as a child, young Prince George has been a target for outrageous ridicule purely because he was born into the royal family.

But George is growing up -- and is now seven years old. Happy birthday, Prince George!

A new royal tell-all hit stores this week, and while the claims made within the pages of such books should always be take with a grain of salt, the revelations found in Royals at War are attracting a considerable amount of attention for good reason.

It's been nearly three months since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles as senior members of the royal family.

During that time, the couple has taken great pains to put some major geographic distance between themselves and Harry's regal relatives.

Earlier today, we reported on a rumor that Meghan Markle was far more unhappy in her life as a royal than the press and public had previously thought.

The main reason for her displeasure, it seems, was that Meghan believed she would be able to take a more active role in the global political arena, but instead found that she was expected to serve as a "voiceless figurehead,” in the words of one insider.

By now, we certainly don't need to tell you about the coronavirus pandemic or the devastating impact it's having on just about every aspect of life in all corners of the world.

The US -- specifically New York -- is the hardest hit area thus far, but few countries have escaped the effects of this worsening global health crisis.

Just about every major event that's set to take place over the next 2-3 months has been canceled or postponed.

But as far as we know, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will still be stepping down from their roles as senior members of the royal family on April 1, as scheduled.

Well, a lot of events are being postponed or altogether canceled these days, but it seems that one long-awaited occasion will still take place right on schedule.

We're talking, of course, about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal retirement!

This week brought yet another reminder that major change is afoot within Buckingham Palace, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle laid off their staff and took one more step toward cutting ties with London for good.

Generally, Royal Family Problems pale in comparison to Real People Problems, but at times like this they intersect, and we're reminded that while they hold very little political power these days, the decisions of monarchs and their offspring still have an impact on their subjects.

It's been several weeks since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped down as senior members of the royal family and relocated to Canada, but the debate over what led the couple to make such a monumental decision is still raging.

Some say Meghan became fed up with the British press and its constant scrutiny of her every move.

Well, it's official.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stepped down as senior members of the royal family.

Well, it's official -- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stepped down as senior members of the royal family.

Like it's namesake, Brexit, Megxit may take a long time to reach its completion, but the process has begun in earnest, with the Sussexes putting down roots in Canada this week.

We probably don't need to tell you it's been a rough couple of months for the royal family.

For a while there, it didn't look like anything could overshadow Prince Andrew's awful interview about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, but then #Megxit hit the headlines like a ton of bricks.

We probably don't need to tell you these are tumultuous times within the royal family.

And it seems that if the Queen was hoping to be consoled by the promise of more grandchildren, she may be out of luck.

Prince Harry and Prince William don't agree on very much these days.

Heck, the former agrees so little with what's been going on in and around his family that he plans on stepping way back from all Royals going forward.

Someone get Prince William a baggy suit, a bottom-shelf toupee, and an impeachment.

Dude basically has no choice but to adopt the Donald look now that he's received the Melania treatment from Kate Middleton.

Families feud.

It's a fact of life so universal that Steve Harvey invented the television just so he could create a game show base on that premise.
