Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Want You to Know 1 Thing About Their Africa Trip - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

It’s been a less than stellar summer for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in terms of public relations. The couple has been garnering bad press no matter what they do, but it hit an all-time high in August when the royal couple took a series of private flights that seemed to directly contradict their stance on environmental protection issues.

Following their historically bad press coverage, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have seemingly refocused their actions and gotten to work on a new mission – their highly-anticipated trip to Africa. Keep reading to learn how this trip could mark the beginning of a fresh start for the royal couple and the strong message they are sending to royal watchers.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry aren’t on vacation

The royal couple have been anticipating their Africa trip for some time. They both have a special connection to the continent, with Prince Harry even claiming that it felt like a “second home” to him. The trip is even more special for them considering it is a family venture – their baby son, Archie Harrison, is joining them on the trip. 

Even though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just landed in Africa on September 23rd, they have already gotten to work, and in doing so, they have managed to send a clear message to all the haters – they are there strictly for work.

According to some royal aides, this message is deliberate, and that Prince Harry and Markle want people to understand that “this is not a holiday.” Sources reveal that while they are in Africa, they want to meet with as many different people as possible and make as much of a difference as they can in the short time that they are there. Their agenda is certainly packed with engagements.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s day planner is full to the brim of official engagements in Africa – 86 of them, to be precise. The same royal sources who spoke out disproving the notion that the trip is for fun rather than business have said that the couple plans to do some serious work on the ground, mainly at the community level. A few of the engagements that they have on their schedule include a special meeting with Nelson Mandela’s widow, visits to Botswana and Malawi, and many serious lectures planned. 

No one is sure to what extent baby Archie will be at any of these events, but it would certainly be good press for the couple – and these days, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle need all the positive publicity that they can get.

Could the public view Meghan Markle and Prince Harry differently after the trip?

Although the Africa trip has been planned for a while, it could fit nicely into a reconstruction of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s public image. Seeing the couple work on the ground with various organizations could be a good way for the public to start to see them in a different light. Plus, if new photos and videos of Archie Harrison are released, it could garner sympathy from royal fans that are hungry to see more of the infant. 

It’s hard to predict what lies just around the corner for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but if luck is on their side, and their trip goes according to plan, the fall of 2019 could hold a completely new beginning for them.

'Dancing With the Stars': One Star Goes Home. Here's What They Have to Say About Being Eliminated - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

It’s safe to say that Dancing with the Stars is in full swing. And while that means new couples, complicated routines, and dazzling outfits, it also means that it’s the beginning of eliminations.

Last night, the competition lost its first couple of season 28.

What happened on Monday night?

During last night’s episode, the 12 celebrities showed judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli their second dances.

In the end, two couples landed in the bottom of the bunch and were in danger of going home. Mary Wilson of The Supremes and her partner, Brandon Armstrong, were in the bottom two, along with football player Ray Lewis and his partner, Cheryl Burke.

Inaba chose to keep Wilson and Armstrong on the show, while Tonioli chose to save Lewis and Burke. So, it all came down to Goodman’s decision.

“If I’m totally honest, neither of these couples should be in this position,” Goodman said. “However, they are and it’s very difficult because one, I want to judge from my heart; the other, I have to judge with my brain. And my brain says I’ve got to save Ray and Cheryl.”

This decision sent Wilson and Armstrong home.

How does Wilson feel about being sent home?

Going home first on a competition show is never fun, but Wilson has remained in good spirits.

“I’ve had a great time,” the soul legend told Entertainment Tonight. “I was still in the beginning stages, right? Getting used to the stage and all that stuff, but it was fun.”

“[Brandon] taught me a lot of things,” she continued. “I never would have learned the Foxtrot nor the Cha-Cha. So, he’s taught me and I’m very happy to say that he’s an excellent teacher, or coach I should say, not teacher.”

How did Ray Lewis and Cheryl Burke feel about being in the bottom two?

Though they were saved from going home, Lewis and Burke certainly didn’t end the night in a great position.

“I think I peed myself just a little bit,” Burke told the outlet of how nervous she was to be in the bottom two. “I’ve always wanted to see what happens if I did that on the dance floor.”

“You know how it’s never really the bottom two and it’s, like, so wishy washy? Now it is what it is and the judges are gonna choose,” she continued. “Hopefully the audience is either/or. You need to get the audience on your side so you’re not in the bottom two or the judges. And the dancing, the quality’s gotta come up a level.”

Lewis, on the other hand, is staying positive.

“Look, I’m confident in my partner, man!” he said. “It’s how you can get back up, go back in the gym and go back to work.”

New voting rules

In order to save your favorite couple from having a similar fate to Wilson and Armstrong, you’ll need to vote for them on ABC.com. In addition to voting online, you can also text in votes this season.

“Viewers are allowed 10 votes per couple, per voting method,” Erin Andrews announced on the show. “Voting closes right after the final dance of the night.”

Meghan and Harry head to the beach in South Africa - CNN

On Tuesday, Prince Harry and wife, Meghan, are visiting Waves for Change – an innovative charity that takes children out of the violent neighborhoods they live in and teaches them how to surf and, hopefully, how to heal. 

Where they live is just a few miles away, but the contrast couldn’t be starker.

“It is better here because they shoot where we live,” said 12-year-old Chloe, “They shoot, they rape people, they abuse people.”

Waves for Change was started by Tim Conibear, who traveled to South Africa after graduating from university in the UK.

Between fifty and eighty children are brought to the beaches around False Bay for weekly sessions. First, they talk about their experiences in a kind of relaxed group therapy session – then they suit up in wetsuits and hit the waves. 

Simply separating them from their environments so they can be be outside of gang and crime affected areas is important, says Keenan Adonis, a coach for the charity.

“Things like violence fascinates them. Because it's happening at their the next door neighbor's, it's happening in the next road. They stand near the crime scene. They want to see what is happening. They want to know, 'Is that my friend laying there?’” he said.  

Adonis says that the kids like Chloe, who stick with the program, are transformed.

“It helps me because we have manners here, no swearing, no fighting and they care about us here,” Chloe said.

Sean Spicer Appeals To MAGA Supporters For ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Votes - Deadline

After an underwhelming performance last week on his Dancing With the Stars debut, Sean Spicer has a plan to stay in the competition — a campaign for votes.

The former White House press secretary made the announcement on tonight’s episode of the ABC competition series.

“We’re going to run this like a campaign,” he said. “Bumper stickers, yard signs, whatever we can do to get people to vote for us.”

In case viewers missed the call for support, Spicer put out the word on social media urging fans, followers and MAGA supporters to vote 20 times. “Text SEAN 10 times to 21523 and vote 10 more times on http://abc.com,” he tweeted Monday, along with the hashtags #MAGA and #KAG.

He has a website too, spicerarnold.com, which touts the slogan: “We’re counting on your votes to win the Mirror Ball!”

Despite his personal appeals, Spicer is facing an uphill battle toward winning DWTS’ coveted trophy. His salsa with champion dancer Lindsay Arnold last week didn’t exactly sizzle, and earned the second-lowest score of the night.

Judge Bruno Tonioli broke the news to Spicer and Arnold that the dance lacked spice, but tried to offer a bit of reassurance, adding: “there were some elements of salsa there.”
