The #1 Blind Item Site in the World!

Vacation Ingratiation

SOLVED!

UPDATED!

[Blind Gossip] The members of this very famous and very wealthy family say that they work hard… but they sure seem to take a lot of vacations! In addition to their multiple homes, they frequently travel the world.

However, not everyone is welcome on these family vacations. One of the kids asked to bring along his girlfriend (who is also a celebrity) to one of the family homes so that she could hang out with his family and get to know them in a relaxed setting.

He was denied.

Family vacations are not a casual event where anyone can just show up and ingratiate themselves with the family and go home with a souvenir snap. His family has seen this before with him. They hope that he is simply in a loved up “kookoo” phase and they are waiting it out.

He is persistent, though.

He’s not giving up. He is very serious about her and plans to keep asking until they say yes!

[Optional] Is his family being reasonable?

SOLVED!

Son: Prince Harry

His Girlfriend: Meghan Markle

Earlier this summer Prince Harry wanted to invite actress girlfriend Meghan Markle along for the family’s annual summer vacation in Balmoral.

This was a critical point in their relationship. Meghan Markle had not yet met the Queen, and Harry wanted to do it in a setting that was relaxed and informal. Or, in the case of the royal family, less formal.

Meeting The Queen was necessary in order for Harry to get approval to propose to Markle. He kept pushing until they agreed.

Exactly six weeks after we ran the original blind item, Meghan Markle finally met Queen Elizabeth! And, yes, it was at Balmoral during the annual summer vacation, just as we discussed!

Markle got The Queen’s stamp of approval.

That event set several other events in motion. As we told you in a separate blind item, Meghan Markle just quit her job on the TV show Suits (see A Royal Pain For Producers). She also recently vacated her apartment and moved her dogs to England.

So… let’s take a look at Meghan Markle’s To Do list.

  • Queen’s approval? Check.
  • Quit job? Check.
  • Move out of apartment? Check.
  • Move dogs to England? Check.

The couple can now proceed to announce their engagement.

Yes, the engagement announcement is imminent. And when we say imminent, we mean imminent! Imminent!

Congratulations to Whoareallthesepeople for being first with the correct response!

UPDATE!

We weren’t kidding when we said that the announcement was imminent!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged!

    If this is Prince Harry and Megan Markle, absolutely. He does not need to marry an actress. He’s a prince, he needs a woman who can run a company, and then some. Somebody with brains, beauty, class, education and making a living by using said brains. She plays a character, and she’s playing him to get into the family, because, well, imagine that. I’m with the family on this one, and I rarely side with the family.

      I live in Toronto (where MM lives) and she is a Fame * w/o question.

      Calls the paps when she goes out smiling like the cat that ate the canary.

      Her estranged sister (whom MM has ignored for years, and is in a wheelchair with MS) claims MM has been obsessed with the Royals from childhood and set her sights on Harry long ago…

      An avid serial social climber, with a questionable background (to put it mildly). and entirely unsuitable for HRH Prince Harry &The Family.

  2. Ihatenate says

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. No not being unreasonable at all. Family vacations are for family, which she isnt. Im sure there’s a lot of other opportunities for her to be around them.

  3. little sherlock says

    Son: Prince Harry
    Girlfriend: Meghan Markle

    That family isn’t like any other family, there are so many implications, so much protocol. Having said that, this is the 21st century. Live and let live, let him get on with his life. He’s a grownup, entitled to make his own mistakes. Plus, he’s not the first one in line for the throne. And Harry will never conform anyway.

    Son: Brooklyn Beckham

    His Girlfriend: Madison Beer

    [Optional] Is his family being reasonable? Yes. The Beckham’s have secrets to hide, I’m sure. This girl is a fly-by-night and won’t be in his life for very long.

  5. KCeagle says

    Red hot..Prince Harry
    Meghan Markle

    I don’t think they’re being reasonable, but the royal family is being persistentlystubborn about Meghan. If they didn’t dislike her so much and reject her, Markle and the Prince would probably be already engaged by now.

  6. thisisannoying says

    No idea, the spelling of kookoo makes me think this is Rob Kardashian but aren’t they split up?

    That annoying Beckham kid?

  7. carriebradshaw says

    Prince Harry/Meghan Markle

    optional: yes. they don’t want drama caused by too quick marriage. it workey in case of Kate, Meghan has to wait. If she loves him she will, otherwise she was’nt the right one.

    • Catterina says

      Correction: They ARE being reasonable, since they need to protect the institution of the monarchy, and their reputations first and foremost.

  14. Meowchie says

    Prince Harry

    Meghan Markle

    No, they are not being reasonable, considering she has not used her fame or past relationships as PR opportunities.

    • TeacherKat says

      Though she does seem to have a habit of trading up with her relationships. That coupled with her “hints” on social media about their relationship early on, and I could see why the royal family would be hesitant to fully welcome her. Heck, I can understand why they would have this rule for anybody! The potential leaks and security issues alone….

  15. BeauSo says

    Sounds like Prince Harry and Megan Markle. Seems like a stretch, but “‘kookoo’ phase” could be a reference to a similar dilemma 30 years ago when Prince Andrew was running around in love with nude model Koo Stark.

  16. cordtx says

    Prince Harry and “Sparkles” Meghan Markle.

    His family is being reasonable. She needs to go away and he needs to get real.

  19. Insiderher says

    Not sure the clues add up to Taylor Lautner and Billie Lorde /Debbie Reynolds/Carrie Fisher fam?

  20. Insiderher says

    Ref to KUCKOO must mean a member of the cast of the British show
    Cuckoo. Andy Samberg co-starred on First Series-but
    Was oddly replaced by Taylor Lautner? Dark guy from Twilight?
    The show has the fam vacation & show is still ‘on,’ but they don’t seem to be able to get a 3rd season going. It’s on Netflix now, or Amazon.
    I’ll guess Lautner

  23. Baileygirl says

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
    His family is not being reasonable. They will break up this romance and Harry will go on to marry a woman he doesn’t love just like his father did with Diana. Sad.

  25. ny1234 says

    Prince Harry
    MEghan markle

    His family is not unreasonable. They probably wonder who sent BG the story story about not getting a lift to the shops from earlier in the year!

    But PH is stubborn. I kinda feel sorry for him. He seems either wounded or maybe he just doesn’t get it.

  26. Holivexer says

    This is Prince Andrew, who is dating Kylie Minogue. “Koo koo ” is a reference to that soft porn star he dated in the early 80’s, Koo Stark.

  27. Blkgoddess says

    Son: Prince Harry?
    Girlfriend: Meghan Markle

    His family should just let him bring her along, see what happens. Hey if it doesn’t work out, that’s really on him, right? Onto the next!

  32. amesr09 says

    son: brooklyn beckham gf: madison beer. i think it’s good that they protect him from people that most likely don’t have the best intentions.

  33. WorkHardBeNice says

    Prince Harry
    Meghan Markle
    Clue: “kookoo” (Koo Stark, Prince Andrew’s girlfriend a hundred years ago)

    They’re being extra about it, but I guess they have to protect their “brand”

  34. amagod121 says

    Son: Barron Trump
    Girlfriend: Selena Gomez (pretending she is young enough so she can glom on for free publicity. Yes, I truly am kidding!)

    Optional: Of course they are! Selena can’t get more photos taken of her than the Donald can of himself!

  39. ivy3499 says

    Prince Harry and Megan markle
    I don’t see a problem with them saying no. My best friend’s family wouldn’t allow her to bring her boyfriend on family vacations until they were engaged. He wasn’t even allowed upstairs, near her bedroom until they got engaged.

    Given the significance of his family, I can understand why they are so cautious.

  41. spellbinding says

    No idea honestly so going with Brooklyn Beckham and Madison Beer? Idk, she’s not really that famous tho…but yeah, no idea otherwise lol.

  42. Skatch says

    Son: Prince Harry

    His Girlfriend: Meghan Markle

    Totally reasonable, this is not your normal family.

  43. algarve2016 says

    Prince Harry

    Meghan Markel

    Well, they are the Royal Family. I think that they have to be careful, but the younger royals are insisting upon more normal treatment. I’d say, let Meghan come to Balmoral!

  48. Goodgrief says

    Brooklyn Beckham and Madison Beer, he is only 18, they haven’t been together that long, yes they are being fair. Get over it Brooklyn.

  51. onlyashes85 says

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This is the annual trip to Balmoral in Scotland.

  53. GeminiKid says

    Guessing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (sp?) Clue is “kookoo phase”? (…throwback reference to when Prince Andrew was running around w/soft-core actress Koo Stark)

  57. kimmukwest says

    I initially thought Rob Kardashian, but I’ll go with Anwar Hadid and Nicola Peltz

  58. LawChick2000 says

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Kookoo is a reference to Koo Stark one of Prince Charles’ crushes that the Royal family had to wait it out until he was over her and married the more suitable Diana.

    • jbj2016 says

      Umm, that would be Andrew who dated Koo Stark until he married the only slightly more suitable Fergie. BTW, Camilla was Charles’ mistress, but Diana was actually wilder than her. The grand irony was that the Royal Family had to go through the authorized fails of Fergie and Diana to realize just how much more suitable Camilla actually had been.

      They should let her go and simply tolerate her. By denying her, they are just stoking Harry’s passions. If she’s really that awful, he’ll figure…

    • mar1ey says

      I would say that by carrying on an affair with Diana’s husband, Camilla had her own brand of wild. Bravo that Diana found her own passions after putting up with these two.

  62. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the Royal Family. Never gonna happen as long as the Queen is still alive.

    • Silverdun says

      She doesn’t care too much about her own children, never mind the grandchildren. Both the Princes William and Harry have been done up like a pair of kippers by two canny women who are playing their role very well. Unfortunately, our royal family are not very intelligent. I find it rather amusing, seeing how I will be glad when the self appointed royal family are no longer a thing.

  63. LaLeche says

    Prince Andrew
    Kylie Minogue

    “Kookoo” refers to Koo Stark, one of his ex-girlfriends 😉

  64. whoareallthesepeople says

    Hint – “koo-koo” is for Prince Andrew’s ill-fated romance with Koo Stark, back in the 1980s
