This week, Meghan Markle continued to speak out about the importance of voting. Only this time, she did it alongside activist and feminist Gloria Steinem. In a new video shared on the MAKERS Women Instagram account, the Duchess of Sussex and the journalist met for a casual “backyard chat” to talk about suffrage. And the 39-year-old wore a gorgeous pair of pinstripe pants.

On Tuesday, the official Clarence House Instagram account shared a slideshow, featuring a throwback photograph of Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry, picking up trash to teach them the importance of saving the environment. However, we were focused on William and Harry’s outfits, which are the epitome of ’90s fashion.
- Sarah Ferguson, 60, recently shared an all-new segment of her family-friendly YouTube series, Storytime with Fergie and Friends. This time, the royal chose to read Cinderella by Fiona Waters and even transformed her home into a makeshift Disney World for the video. Looks like someone is ready for grandchildren.

- James Middleton showed off his romantic side on Monday and shared photos from a recent date night with fiancée Alizee Thevenet. The stunning date night featured a picnic rug, gorgeous flowers and, of course, their beloved dogs. He wrote, "Alizee and I haven’t been on a date for AGES….so I decided to surprise her with a little picnic with the dogs and a special little gift."
- We learned this week that Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and baby Archie are planning for a semi-permanent house guest. A new report revealed that the royal couple is currently in the process of getting their new Santa Barbara home ready for Markle’s mother Doria Ragland to move in. Full-time granny alert.
- Yesterday, we also found out that Prince Charles is quite a skilled painter. According to a recent Clarance House Instagram Story, the 71-year-old royal is an “experienced watercolorist.” The Prince of Wales draws inspiration from natural landscapes across the U.K., as well as from his travels abroad, often painting the scenery of places he has visited.
- While we’re on the topic of things we didn’t know about the royal family, it turns out Queen Elizabeth isn’t a fan of pizza. According to the monarch’s former chef, Darren McGrady, the 94-year-old never got a craving for a slice (or a personal pie). “In the years that I cooked at [Buckingham] palace, the queen never had pizza,” McGrady said in a recent interview. We can’t relate.
- It was also recently revealed that Meghan Markle and her sister-in-law Kate Middleton underwent a two-day training course at the British Army's SAS headquarters to prepare them for possible hostage or security situations, right after their royal weddings.
