Meet the Markles! Meghan Markle and Prince Harry walked down the aisle in May 2018 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, but only one of her family members was in attendance — her mother, Doria Ragland . Meghan’s relationship with her relatives has been rocky, at best, since she stepped further into the spotlight. The Suits actress’ father, Thomas Markle , did not attend her nuptials after suffering a heart attack following a paparazzi photo scandal. Harry’s dad,  King Charles III , stepped in his place to accompany his daughter-in-law to the altar. The Duchess of Sussex confronted Thomas about their rift in an August 2018 letter, which the former lighting director shared with  Mail on Sunday . “Your actions have broken my heart into a million pieces — not simply because you have manufactured such unnecessary and unwarranted pain, but by making the choice to not tell the truth as you are puppeteered in this,” she wrote. “Something I will never understand.” Meghan faced simila

Friends or foes? Scheana Shay and Katie Maloney may have started off as friends, but their relationship has grown complicated over the years. The reality stars first met in 2013 as they joined the original cast of Vanderpump Rules . As drama between their castmates heated up, Shay and Maloney also dealt with their own interpersonal issues, including drama over Maloney’s friendship with Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute .

The drama between the former couple — who tied the knot in 2016 after five years together — escalated as Schwartz got cozy with costar Raquel Leviss at Shay’s wedding to Brock Davies in August 2022, a few months after Maloney filed for divorce . Maloney, who was not in attendance for the “Good As Gold” singer’s nuptials, accused Shay

A day that defined history. The late Queen Elizabeth II ’s royal coronation marked the beginning of her journey to become the longest-reigning British monarch. Following the death of her father, King George VI, in February 1952, a 25-year-old Elizabeth took over the throne, becoming the first female monarch since her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria, who died at the age of 81 in 1901. However, Elizabeth was never supposed to become queen — the royal lineage changed in 1936 when her uncle King Edward VIII abdicated the throne and passed the title on to his brother, putting Elizabeth next in line. Already married to her husband, Prince Philip , and mother to King Charles III and Princess Anne , Elizabeth was crowned on June 2, 1952, at Westminster Abbey in London, the same place she and Phillip — who passed away at the age of 99 in April 2021 — tied the knot in November 1947. (She and the late Duke of Edinburgh also shared sons Prince Andrew and Prince Edward .) Her ceremon

Ravens forever! One Tree Hill may have ended in 2012, but the casts’ friendships have stood the test of time. “We’ve known each other for almost two decades now. Our friendships have changed immeasurably,” Sophia Bush , who played Brooke Davis on the teen drama, told Us Weekly exclusively in December 2020. “We’ve been through so many stages of life together . But I think something that we really cherish — Hilarie and I were talking about this not too long ago — is just having, interestingly enough, as we’ve all gotten older, having our friendships deepen even more.” Bush, Hilarie Burton and Bethany Joy Lenz — who played Peyton Sawyer and Haley James Scott, respectively — appreciate the bond they formed while working on One Tree Hill , especially considering the toxic work environment that show runner Mark Schwahn fostered on the set. “[We’re] actually friends … not fair-weather friends,” Burton said to Refinery29 in January 2017 about how the women’s experience on the show

Honest about his ups and downs. Jason Ritter has celebrated his triumphs and been candid about his shortcomings over the years. During a March 2023 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show , the Raise Your Voice actor moved his wife, Melanie Lynskey , to tears by opening up about how his struggles with alcoholism affected the early stages of their romance. “I knew how incredible Melanie was early on,” the Joan of Arcadia alum told host Drew Barrymore when she asked about the moment he knew the Last of Us actress was The One. “But it’s not as cute of a story as you would like to think. It was messy and interesting and weird.
