Meghan Markle, Prince Harry send thank you note for Archie’s birthday gift
Mad Dogs & Englishmen Bike Shop in Montecito, Calif., left a sweet present consisting of flowers, a card, balloons and a bike for Archie’s 4th birthday — and the adorable gesture wasn’t forgotten.His parents Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sent the company a thank-you memo for the two-wheeler.The letter — which was posted on the shop’s Instagram account on Thursday — was written by the Sussexes’ assistant, Harrison Colcord.“On behalf of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke, and Duchess of Sussex, please accept their sincere thanks for the thoughtful gift you sent to Prince Archie for his fourth birthday,” the note said.“The bike has brought much joy and is most appreciated by the family. They asked that I convey their gratitude at the lovely surprise.”Business owner Jennifer Blevins and her British co-worker, Martin, were pleasantly surprised at the card, telling People more about the happy ordeal.The bike that the two had chosen to gift the little prince was a specialized kids’ bicycle that had training wheels on it.Blevins explained that Martin traveled to the royals’ Montecito abode to personally deliver the present.However, security had stopped him and did an on-site background check before allowing him to leave the cycle and its other birthday surprises.Martin and Blevins then received the card a month later after a courier stopped by their store and dropped it off.“I was making a joke, I said, ‘It better be a thank you letter,’ and it really was!” Blevins joked.

Amy Schumer: I backed out of ‘Barbie’ because it wasn’t feminist enough
infamously set to play Barbie in the eponymous flick that follows the Mattel doll, during early development in 2016 — but stepped away from the high-profile project just months later.Now, the “Life & Beth” star explained why she actually left the pink and plastic-filled feature.“I can’t wait to see the movie, it looks awesome,” Schumer told Andy Cohen on Thursday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live.”Officially, all those involved cited “scheduling conflicts” for their failed partnership, Schumer recalled — but behind the scenes, she explained that she and Sony Pictures had contrasting opinions: “It really was just creative differences.”She continued, “But you know, there’s a new team behind it, and it looks like it’s very feminist and cool so I will be seeing the movie.”“Barbie” is directed by Greta Gerwig and will be driving its hot pink convertible to the silver screen on July 21.Margot Robbie, 32, was ultimately cast as the blonde-haired character alongside Ryan Gosling as Ken and an ensemble cast that includes Will Ferrell, Helen Mirren, Due Lipa, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Nicola Coughlan and Alexandra Shipp.Schumer was set to star and even co-write the initial version when it was first announced in 2016 in conjunction with Sony.The New York City native dished to The Hollywood Reporter last year how she had a different idea for the screenplay than what the studio desired.Her angle was described as “a fish-out-of-water tale about a woman who gets kicked out of Barbieland for not being perfect enough.”“They definitely didn’t want to do it the way I wanted to do it, the only way I was interested in doing it,” she explained at the time.Schumer wanted her version of Barbie to be an inventor; Sony reportedly wanted her
