  • Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and, yes, even royal baby Archie are reportedly soaking up the last of the summer sun in Ibiza. According to The Daily Mail and Hello! magazine, the Sussexes are ending their summer (after their visit to Balmoral with Queen Elizabeth) with a vacation (via private jet, it's been speculated) to the swanky island off the coast of Spain.

  • Happy birthday, Princess Anne! Queen Elizabeth's official Instagram account posted a picture of the monarch's only daughter in honor of her birthday, and included two on-point emojis: a balloon and a party popper. (We'd like to think the queen picked them out herself.)

  • An old photo of Meghan Markle holding a tabloid with a picture of Kate Middleton on the cover and the word "Twins!" across the front has gone viral. The image, which is reportedly from 2014, was taken because Markle wrote an article about sunglasses for the magazine. Life...…amirite?

  • The queen and Prince Philip stepped out to lunch at a lodge located on her Balmoral estate in Scotland, according to a tweet from royal correspondent Rebecca English. They went out to eat with their youngest child, Prince Edward, his wife, Sophie Wessex, and their son, 11-year-old James, Viscount Severn. 

Where We'll See Them Next:

  • Kate Middleton and Prince William will embark on their royal tour of Pakistan sometime this fall.
  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will also take an official tour this fall. The Sussexes will travel to Africa, and they're officially bringing baby Archie along with them.
