• Queen Elizabeth made a special address to the public Sunday, regarding the current coronavirus pandemic. And 24 million people tuned in on TV alone to hear her message, according to the BBC.

• Over the weekend, Meghan Markle’s facialist and friend, Sarah Chapman, penned a heartfelt tribute to Markle and her family. This is the first time the beauty expert has publicly spoken out about her relationship with her famous client.

• On Monday, Meghan and Harry’s communication team (or the palace’s, perhaps) opted to turn off the comments on not just their final Instagram post, but all of them. Now, comments on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s defunct Instagram account are no longer visible and Instagram users can no longer write new comments.

• Clarence House shared a photo of Camilla Parker Bowles working from her surprisingly cozy home office at the Scottish estate she shares with her husband, Prince Charles, which sits on the Balmoral Castle land. And there are lots of dog photos.
