Prince Harry Shares 'Special' Memory With Meghan Markle During Prince Archie Pregnancy

Prince Harry is looking back on a sweet memory with Meghan Markle when she was pregnant with their first child, Prince Archie.

“Every Invictus Games creates incredible experiences and holds special memories for everyone involved,” the Duke of Sussex, 40, exclusively told Us Weekly during the semi-final volleyball game between Team U.K. and Team Nigeria at the Invictus Games earlier this month. “My wife has been part of this community since shortly after the Orlando Games in 2016 and has loved every minute of it.”

One of the fondest memories Harry has with Meghan, 43, is from the 2018 Invictus Games in Sydney, Australia. The event took place when the Duchess of Sussex, whom he wed in May 2018, was pregnant with Archie, now 5.

“There are so many special memories, but I’ll never forget the bear hug I received from Rob out on Sydney Harbor — and my genuine concern that he might try the same with my wife, who was pregnant at the time!” he recalled. “There truly is no better place to be than among these incredible individuals and their families.”

Prince Harry on His Journey Since Invictus '14: 'Wouldn't Change Any of It'

For this year’s games, Meghan was by Harry’s side for a few events in Vancouver before she returned home to Archie and 3-year-old daughter Lilibet. While Meghan couldn’t be present for the entirety of the games, she showed her support for her husband via her newly-launched social media page.

“The Instagram shoutout was very sweet and much appreciated!” Harry told Us.

Harry launched the Invictus Games back in 2014 as a competition for injured, wounded or sick active military members and veterans. The idea came to him following his own military experience.

“They will continue to have bad days,” Harry said of his fellow vets at the competition, some of whom he served with in Afghanistan. “But for this week, the bad days are very limited … because they realize that they’re not isolated, they’re not alone. Everybody around them is carrying something. Once you put all these guys and girls in the same arena, they start sharing each other’s stories and realize that … there’s nothing wrong with them.”

The next Invictus Games will take place in 2027 across the pond in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

“Birmingham for us, is a very, very emotionally connected place,” Harry explained. “A lot of these guys, they woke up in Birmingham after being blown up in Afghanistan.”

We picture it being the perfect work bag, able to be worn with all kinds of trouser and blouse combinations and with blazers too.

Achieving a radiant complexion can feel like an impossible task — let alone maintaining one. If you’ve tried everything to combat clogged pores or dull-looking skin without results, try the effective pore pads shoppers say are ‘great for mature skin’ and ‘key to glass skin.’ Currently on sale for just $18, shoppers confirm the pore pads work better than products that cost triple the price. Time to stock up!

Get thee Medicube Zero Pore Pads for $18 (originally $31) at Amazon!

Korean beauty brands, like Medicube, are known for using natural ingredients to deliver gentle yet effective skincare solutions that produce glass skin-worthy results. The Medicube Zero Pore Pads are no different. Each pad is crafted with white willow bark (packed with BHA), citric acid (AHA) and botanical extracts to gently exfoliate skin. Since toners can be drying, it’s recommended to use the cleansing pads a few times a week (versus daily use) to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and prevent sebum buildup.

The dual-sided pads are simple to use. Simply cleanse your face and swipe the textured side of the pad on your skin, paying close attention to the chin, nose and forehead. To finish, use the silky side by “lightly patting for absorption,” as the brand suggests.

“Great for mature skin,” one five-star reviewer writes. “I really like this product to help keep my pores clear. It is a little sticky but goes away. I have been using these for a few weeks and definitely see a difference.”

“I’m not sure what kind of sorcery this is, but these things have transformed my skin,” another shopper shares. “I’ve never been able to achieve the ‘glass skin’ look but since I’ve started using these I literally have glass skin and I couldn’t be happier.”

The cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is paying tribute to their costar and friend Michelle Trachtenberg.

After news broke on Wednesday, February 26, that the actress was found unconscious inside her New York City apartment at the age of 39, many colleagues were quick to share their favorite memories working alongside Trachtenberg.

“My heart is heavy today. We have lost a beautiful soul,” James Marsters, who played Spike, wrote via Instagram. “Michelle was fiercely intelligent, howlingly funny and a very talented person. She died much too young, and leaves behind scores of people who knew and loved her. … Godspeed Michelle. You are missed.”

Between 2000 and 2003, Trachtenberg had the opportunity to play Dawn Summers — Buffy’s sister — on the hit series. Once the show wrapped, the actress went on to star in various projects, including Gossip Girl and Six Feet Under.

Stars React to Michelle Trachtenberg’s Death at Age 39

“Michelle touched a generation of television fans throughout her career, including in her unforgettable role as the independent and strong-willed Dawn Summers in Buffy,” a rep for 20th Television, the studio behind the series, said in a statement to TVLine. “She brought depth, heart, and authenticity to every performance and will be remembered for her remarkable talent. Our sincere condolences go out to her family and friends — she will be deeply missed.”

As friends and costars continue paying tribute to Trachtenberg online, keep reading to see the heartfelt posts from the Buffy family:

I Travel Constantly — This Weekend Bag Never Lets Me Down

26 February 2025 at 15:14

Some might say I travel like a celebrity — minus the private jet, security detail and entourage (see, we’re practically the same). I’m constantly on the move, hopping between planes, trains and cars with this weekend bag in tow. It’s stylish, spacious, durable and practical for quick trips.

With this bag, everything has its place, so I never stress about leaving anything behind. Shoes? They fit perfectly in the spacious bottom compartment. My laptop? It has a designated sleeve. Outfits? There’s ample space to keep them organized (I think Mari Kondo would approve).

Some travel bags fall apart after just a few uses, but this one is built to last. I’ve visited dozens of cities and numerous countries with this weekend bag by my side; and still, it looks and works like new! But don’t only take my word for it. Hundreds of shoppers have raved about its durability and quality design!

“The spacious interior fits everything you need for a weekend getaway, with plenty of pockets to keep essentials organized. It’s lightweight, durable and fits perfectly in overhead bins or under seats, making it the ultimate travel companion,” said one fan in a review.

What I love most is its wearability. You can throw it over your shoulder, wear it crossbody style, or carry it as a tote — whatever feels comfortable. Then there’s the material — the canvas (which is super easy to spot clean) wears beautifully over time.

And if you ever need to speed through the airport or train station, you can slip the trolley sleeve over the handle of your roller suitcase so it’s even easier to maneuver. Trust me, once you make this bag a travel companion, you’ll never want to hit the road without it.
