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!

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

  4. Prince Andrew
    Kylie Minogue

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

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

    • 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.

  10. 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.

    • 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…

    • 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.

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

  15. 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)

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

  20. 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.

  25. 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!

  26. Son: Prince Harry

    His Girlfriend: Meghan Markle

    Totally reasonable, this is not your normal family.

  27. 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.

  29. 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.

  34. 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!

  35. 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”

  36. 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.

  37. The son is Prince Harry Wales and the girlfriend is Megan Markle.

    I was raised to believe that whoever owns the house gets to set the rules, so if the Queen doesn’t want Megan at Balmoral then Megan isn’t invited, not really a matter of being reasonable or not. If Harry really wanted to marry her he could, but he’d probably lose the HRH and just be Prince Harry, he’d lose his place in succession, his cushy ‘job’, and royal income.

  42. 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!

  43. 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.

  44. 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.

  46. 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.

  49. 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

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