The Strange Way Kate Middleton and Prince William Wake Up Every Morning - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

The royal family is one that everyone loves to follow. Whether searching for the latest news from the official royal website or reading the most recent blogs online, fans are desperate for an inside look at the lives of the monarchy.

So much so that they work very hard to protect the youngest members so they can have as normal lives as possible. The latest bit of news involves the Cambridge family firstborn, Prince George. Luckily, this news is more fun in nature, which the royal family needs right now, and involves a part of their morning routine

Prince William and Kate Middleton have been together for almost 20 years, including their on and off dating life. They have been married since 2011.

Their firstborn, Prince George, was born in July 2013. Since then, they’ve gone on to have Princess Charlotte (2015) and Prince Louis (2018).

The family of five spends a lot of time together, with Prince William adamant that he’s involved in their lives. From whether or not they should get a family pet to how to celebrate birthdays, the Cambridges are actually relatively normal.

They share snippets of their lives on social media from time to time but are also fully aware of their royal responsibilities. Duchess Kate has even been caught cutely scolding the kids from time to time, like any normal mom.

Fans have seen them having fun on family outings or enjoying a walk to school. The duchess even enjoys taking photographs of her family and shares them with fans from time to time. Although they don’t often get a break from the media, we still don’t know much about their private lives inside the walls of Kensington Palace.

Kate Middleton and Prince William keep things normal

Growing up royal might seem like it would mean having just about anything you could want. And the Cambridge kids do.

From nannies and chefs to other household staffers that handle just about every need, they don’t lack for much. That’s why their morning routine might surprise you.

The duke and duchess take their kids to school every day when they are able, are involved with school activities, enjoy spending time in the kitchen together, and the kids even have some chores they’re responsible for. They spend time in the garden when the weather permits and both the duke and the duchess aim to give their kids ordinary experiences.

Maybe that’s what makes the way they start their day pretty adorable — and it’s all thanks to Prince George. 

How Prince George starts his day

Prince George is a massive fan of football and possibly an even bigger fan of a particular song. In 1996, Frank Skinner wrote the hit football anthem, Three Lions. He shared with Hello Magazine how he had a chance to chat with Prince William and learned that Prince George — and, in turn, the rest of the family — wakes up to the song each morning since the World Cup.

It makes sense, mainly because for Prince George’s 6th birthday, his parents let him wear the England football shirt in photos. He’s also been caught playing in the yard with Princess Charlotte and enjoys going to a good football match now and then.

As for what’s in store for the Cambridge family, their 2020 schedule of events came out in early January. They’ve got plenty to keep them busy for the near future.

There have also been rumors that Duchess Kate is pregnant with their fourth child, but these are likely just that. One thing’s for sure; they will probably be waking up to Prince George’s favorite song for a while longer.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's exit talks 'progressing well' with royal family: report - Fox News

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stunned the royal family when the couple announced on Wednesday they were stepping down as "senior members" and wanted to split their time between the United Kingdom and North America.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told Fox News at the time, "Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."

But now a new report revealed meetings between Prince Harry, Markle, and the rest of the royal family about their "new progressive role" are "progressing well."

WHAT HAPPENS TO MEGHAN MARKLE, PRINCE HARRY'S FROGMORE COTTAGE AFTER THEY STEP BACK AS SENIOR ROYALS

According to BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell, The Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge have all asked their staff to work with the Sussexes to "find a solution within days."

At first, though, the Queen was reportedly "disappointed" by her grandson's action. Neil Sean, a royal author, and broadcaster, told Fox News on Thursday that palace aides may not have been prepared for the unexpected announcement.

“The palace aides are working in conjunction with the queen,” he explained. “It’s not lost on anyone that they decided to launch this without the permission of the queen.”

In the meantime, Buckingham Palace confirmed Friday that Markle, 38, had returned to Canada, while Prince Harry, 35, remains in England.

The commonwealth country appears to hold a special place in their hearts. The couple and their 8-month-old son Archie spent a six-week holiday out of the public eye at a secluded luxury home on Vancouver Island.

HOW MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY'S FINANCES WILL BE IMPACTED BY ABRUPT ROYAL EXIT

When they returned back from their hiatus, Prince Harry and Markle announced their decision on their verified Instagram account.

"We have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution," the couple shared. “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment."

"We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honor our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages," they continued. "This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity."

CELEBRITIES REACT TO MEGHAN MARKLE, PRINCE HARRY 'STEPPING BACK' FROM ROYAL DUTIES

"We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support," added the couple, who will reportedly keep their royal titles.

Fox News' Stephanie Nolasco contributed to this report.

Metallica’s Lars Ulrich Pays Tribute to Rush Drummer Neil Peart - Rolling Stone

Metallica’s Lars Ulrich paid tribute Neil Peart Friday, soon after it was revealed that the legendary Rush drummer died earlier in the week at the age of 67.

“Thank you Neil,” Ulrich wrote on Instagram. “Thank you for inspiring me and for all your help and advice along the way, especially in the early days when you took the time to talk to a young green Danish drummer about recording, gear and the possibilities that lay ahead…”

Ulrich continued, “Thank you for what you did for drummers all over the world with your passion, your approach, your principles and your unwavering commitment to the instrument!”

As Ulrich revealed in a 2014 Guitar Center interview, Metallica’s manager in their early years, Cliff Burnstein, also signed Rush to Mercury Records a decade earlier, so the band sometimes leaned on Rush for advice. “[Burnstein] said ‘You want to talk about Neil Peart about drums?’… Talking to Neil was like the god of gods,” Ulrich said.

“So I actually managed to get enough guts to dial the phone number that I was given and I called him and it’s like I spoke to Neil Peart for a half an hour about Tama drums, it was pretty amazing.” Soon after, Tama sent Ulrich a drum kit to his specifications; the Metallica drummer continues to use Tama drums to this day.

Peart died Tuesday following a lengthy and unpublicized battle with brain cancer. Metallica also paid tribute to Peart by posting a previously recorded concert video of guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo jamming out Rush’s “Tom Sawyer” onstage:

Queen orders Prince Harry, Meghan Markle to reach Megxit deal 'within 72 hours' - Page Six

The Queen has demanded Prince Harry and Meghan Markle strike a deal with the palace within “72 hours” to iron out the details of their stunning “Megxit,” according to a new report.

Queen Elizabeth, 93, gave the directive days before Prince Harry is set to make his first public appearance Tuesday in the wake of the couple’s shockwave decision to step back from royal life.

Following a day of meetings and phone calls over the dispute, the Queen instructed her aides Friday to “turn a crisis into an opportunity” by drafting a “workable solution” for a scaled-back role for Harry and Meghan.

The monarch hopes future royals who also desire a more modern arrangement can emulate the plan she establishes for Meghan and Harry, the Telegraph reported.

Harry, 35, will remain in the UK until a plan is ironed out, The Sun reported, noting that once he leaves, a return date is not guaranteed. He has yet to meet with his grandmother, older brother Prince William, and father Prince Charles, according to reports.

Markle, meanwhile, fled to Canada — where she left the couple’s infant son Archie with a nanny — within two days of the announcement.

The couple is reportedly also eager to smooth things out “sooner rather than later.”

The beloved Queen was photographed for the first time on Friday driving her Range Rover through the royals’ Sandringham Estate, wearing a dog-printed head scarf while her corgi rode in the back seat.

Prince Harry and Meghan: How could the couple make money? - BBC News

As part of their plans to step back as senior royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex say they intend to "work to become financially independent".

Prince Harry and Meghan plan to split their time between the UK and North America - and their global reach could open up a wealth of opportunities.

But any move into the private sector and the monetisation of the Sussex brand would pose challenges for the royal couple.

"The established rule has always been that if you are a working royal, you don't really do paid work - that one excludes the other," says BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond.

"Nearly any employment of the type they are going to get is open to the charge that they are monetising or exploiting their royal brand."

If the couple renounced their royal titles, that would give them more freedom - but there's no suggestion they want to do this.

So far, they have focused on their plans to launch a new "charitable entity". But what opportunities might there be for commercial ventures?

Book deal

While the couple have spoken about their struggles with the intense media interest in their lives, the idea of revealing more about themselves in their own words might be more appealing - and lucrative.

The 2017 book deal signed by Barack and Michelle Obama was believed to be worth more than $60m (£48m).

It's also an area Meghan has previously shown an interest in. In her introduction to last year's September issue of Vogue, which she guest edited, Meghan wrote of her "love of writing".

Before she married Harry, she also ran a lifestyle blog, The Tig, where she shared beauty, fashion and travel tips.

Natalie Jerome, a literary agent at Aevitas, says the couple have "enormous power and reach" and any book deal would be extremely lucrative.

"People have compared them to the Obamas and I think there's potentially some merit in that," she says.

Meghan is an aspirational figure for many women of colour and young people, she adds.

"We're in a period now where we're talking increasingly about diversity within publishing and there's a real push to reach wider audiences," she says.

"If she were to publish a book in her own right and reach out to young people on the ground by doing talks and going to schools like Michelle Obama did, I think the book would be hugely successful."

TV and film

As well as potentially sharing more about their own lives, Harry and Meghan could also turn to causes they are passionate about for material.

For Meghan, these include equality and women's rights, while Harry has been vocal in campaigning on mental health and veterans.

The pair could choose to follow in the steps of the Obamas, who set up their own production company before signing a deal with Netflix, with projects including documentaries addressing social and political activism.

Harry has already teamed up with US media mogul Oprah Winfrey on a series addressing mental health for Apple TV, which is due for broadcast in 2020.

Could there be more TV opportunities in the pipeline?

Meghan, of course, first found fame as an actress, starring in the TV drama Suits.

She gave up her former career when she joined the Royal Family - but if she chose to return to acting she would surely be in high demand.

Public speaking

Another potential avenue for the pair to explore could be after-dinner speeches and events.

Jeremy Lee, director at speaking agency JLA, says if they maintained a positive profile the couple could earn six-figure sums for each appearance.

He predicts demand would be higher in US, where Mr Lee says the pair could earn up to $500,000 (£380,000) per engagement.

However, he says companies in the UK would be more sensitive to reputational risk if public opinion turned against the couple.

Mr Lee predicts UK companies would only be willing to take the royals as speakers at an event linked to one of their campaigning interests, in return for a donation to their charitable foundation - rather than a fee - in the region of £100,000.

But in the US, there would be interest from "anybody that wants to show off and has got the budget", he says.

Commercial partnerships

Whether its a designer handbag or Archie's hand-knitted bobble hat, whenever the Sussexes are pictured with a product, sales go through the roof.

"Any brand on the planet would want to work with them," says journalist and royal style commentator Elizabeth Holmes. "I think it's a question of what they want to do."

Ms Holmes suggests any commercial partnerships would be tied to the couple's charitable causes, perhaps with a secondary opportunity to raise personal income.

For example, Meghan is the patron of a charity that provides free clothing and interview training to unemployed women and has launched her own clothing line for the organisation.

"Meghan really understands the power of fashion," Ms Holmes says, using her choices to promote smaller brands owned by women, often with a sustainable ethos.

However, that doesn't mean we should expect the couple's 10.5 million Instagram followers to be suddenly bombarded with sponsored content and product placement, Ms Holmes says.

While the royal couple have a huge platform, it pales in comparison to the likes of Kylie Jenner, who has more than 150 million Instagram followers.

The reality TV star, who topped last year's Instagram rich list, is estimated to earn around $1.2m (£960,000) for a single sponsored post.

Could Meghan and Harry follow that trend? Ms Holmes says: "I don't think that's necessarily an appropriate thing for a member of the Royal Family."

In June last year, the duke and duchess also applied to trademark the "Sussex Royal" brand across items including books, calendars, clothing, charitable fundraising and campaigning.

This opens up the option of launching their own brands, from beauty products to clothing lines. However, any move that could be seen as exploiting the royal brand would be likely to promote criticism.

Ms Holmes says this is a real risk in any commercial venture, adding: "That's why I think they'll be careful about it."

METALLICA's LARS ULRICH Pays Tribute To NEIL PEART: 'Thank You For What You Did For Drummers All Over The World' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET

METALLICA's LARS ULRICH Pays Tribute To NEIL PEART: 'Thank You For What You Did For Drummers All Over The World'

METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has paid tribute to RUSH's Neil Peart, who passed away on Tuesday (January 7) in Santa Monica, California after a three-year battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Ulrich took to his Instagram to write: "Thank you Neil. Thank you for inspiring me and for all your help and advice along the way, especially in the early days when you took the time to talk to a young green Danish drummer about recording, gear and the possibilities that lay ahead... Thank you for what you did for drummers all over the world with your passion, your approach, your principles and your unwavering commitment to the instrument! Rest In Peace."

RUSH had been completely inactive since completing its "R40 Live" tour four years ago. Peart previously said that playing concerts at his age caused too much painful wear and tear on his body and he'd rather call it quits before the performances start declining in quality.

His survivors include his wife Carrie and daughter Olivia.

He was also the author of numerous books, including a number of memoirs exploring his life and travels.

In 1997, Peart and his bandmates became the first rock musicians to be inducted into the Order of Canada.

They were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2013.
