A Video to Remembrance

By Richard Mineards   |   November 19, 2024

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made their first joint appearance in more than three months as the Riven Rock duo shared a new video message.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex wore blue blazers and poppies in their lapels in honor of Remembrance Day in a video message about online violence against children, a cause deeply important to them.

The twosome shared a special moment as Harry, 40, affectionately put his arm around Meghan, 45.

The video was played at the Inaugural Global Ministerial Conference on Violence Against Children, held in Colombia, as the dynamic duo called for greater protection for “the most vulnerable in our world” against the threat of digital violence and harm.

Area Codes Cure

Montecito actor Billy Baldwin and his wife Chynna Phillips think they’ve solved the puzzle of maintaining a healthy and happy marriage – living apart!

The tony twosome is gearing up to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary next year and got personal about their unusual living situation, revealing they not only live in separate houses, but stay in different area codes.

The Wilson-Phillips singer, 56, went into intimate detail about their living arrangements in a video on her YouTube channel earlier this month.

“Billy and I are sort of in this new kind of arrangement that is actually really working for me. I don’t know if it’s working for Billster, but I’m really happy with what we’re doing. Basically it’s totally unstructured. Let me explain.

“I said we should have a little test run to see what it feels like to have me in Santa Barbara, you in Beverly Hills, and then we flip-flop. Then in between we have close nights together, we have therapy, we have dinner with the children, and then go to the beach or the museum.”

The pair share three children – daughters Jameson, 24, and Brooks, 19, and son Vance, 22.

Phillips admitted Billy was a bit more reticent about the whole thing,” but was willing to give the separate living situation a try.”

The Cost of Beauty

Former TV talk show titan Oprah Winfrey has plugged a $146 luxury body care set – gifted by her neighbor Meghan Markle and made by the millionaire Montecito beauty guru who appeared in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix series.

Oprah, 70, just published her annual “Favorite Things” gift guide on her website with items featuring a $110 plate of cheese and a luxury salt for $80.

This year Oprah appears to have turned to Markle for gifting inspiration and chose to include the luxury $146 body care set in her list.

She says she was introduced to Tatcha Hinoki’s range of products by the former Suits actress, who is close friends with the brand’s co-founder and fellow Montecito resident Vicky Tsai.

Tatcha claims the blend of cedar, hiba and hinoki oils “reduces stress, lifts mood, and helps improve well-being.”

Goop-less

Montecito actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness empire Goop has undergone a second-round of layoffs in just two months.

The cuts in late October affected 15 people in several divisions including the beauty, programming, and creative departments.

In September about 40 people were cut from the 216 person strong staff, accounting for 18% of the e-commerce site.

The goal of the cuts is to “optimize operating efficiency and revenue growth in key areas of beauty and fashion,” a Goop spokesman told Business Insider.

The Oscar winner, who is the CEO, said the layoffs had put Goop “back in the growth mode.” But it appears there are still more cuts to be made.
