Meghan Markle would have been “hit very hard” by her mum’s decision to return to Los Angeles after the birth of her first grandchild, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, claims a royal expert.Meghan and Harry stepped down from their roles as senior royals the year after Archie was born, but prior to that they were living in Frogmore Cottage on the royal estate in Windsor.Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, stayed at Frogmore for two weeks after Archie was born and is is believed to played a crucial role in helping her daughter and son-in-law adjust to parenthood.“Doria was very supportive,” said royal expert Ashley Pearson, “but, of course, she had to go home, so I think Doria’s absence would have hit Meghan very hard.” It was after her mum’s departure, says royal commentator Emily Andrews that Meghan started to feel “trapped” and “misunderstood” – feelings which ultimately led to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announcing that they were stepping back as senior members of the Royal Family. A few months later, in October 2019 Meghan revealed her heartbreak in the documentary Harry and Meghan: An African Journey: ”I've said for a long time to H… that's what I call him … it's not enough to just survive something, right?"That's not the point of life.

Lana Del Rey slammed critics accusing her of racism after she mentioned several top artists of colour in a lengthy Instagram diatribe complaining about claims she glamourizes abuse in her music. In her post, Del Rey named Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Kehlani, Nicki Minaj and Beyonce, writing they “have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f—ing, cheating etc” but that she had been “crucified” for penning lyrics that dealt with abusive relationships.

Lana Del Rey has spoken out for the final time after attracting criticism for her controversial post on Instagram earlier this week. In the original post, Del Rey hit back at critics who say she glamorizes abuse, and she name checked artists, including Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, and more, who “have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f—ing, cheating etc” — while complaining she had been “crucified” for penning lyrics that dealt with abusive relationships.

It says something about the degree of mess Lana Del Rey has gotten herself into that the announcement of her next album title—Chemtrails Over the Country Club—barely caused a stir. Last week, the singer posted an Instagram essay addressing the criticism that she glamorizes abuse, naming seven specific female pop stars in the process. Realizing that she’d effectively detonated Twitter, Del Rey posted four addendums to her post. (Apparently, when she said “there has to be a place in feminism for women who act and look like me,” she did not mean white women; she meant “women who don’t look strong or necessarily smart.”) 

The record is set for release on September 5

Del Rey responded to the backlash at her earlier post on Thursday by telling her critics to "#f**koff."
