Hello Readers,
Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in 2018 and they became the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Like Princess Diana and Duchess Kate Middleton, she has drawn the attention of the world. This is Meghan’s second marriage. She was married in 2011 to Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson. Within a short period of two years, Meghan divorced him, as living separately (Meghan in Canada and Engelson in Los Angeles) did not work out.
In a March 7 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan and Harry opened up and talked about their struggles being in the Royal Family. Meghan is pregnant, but there is a guessing game that the about the skin tone of her child.
In the magazine Town & Country, Oprah asked Meghan what she was excited about in her new life (i.e. post-working royal life), and the Duchess replied, “Just being able to live authentically… it’s so basic but it’s really fulfilling.” She continued, “I was thinking about it, you know our wedding – three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that. We called the Archbishop and we just said, look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world. But we want our union between us, so the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury and that was the piece that…”
It was a bombshell that she got married before the royal wedding. Sources say that in a statement agreed on by all three households, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Prince William, the Queen is eager to bring calm to the situation.
Speaking of “queens”, Essex County native Queen Latifah got vaccinated at Essex County College. That was broadcasted all over, as County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo made a huge announcement before the vaccination. However, we received calls from our readers concerned about how she was able to jump the line at only 50 years old and receive a vaccination, when they have been in line and meet the requirements. According to Governor Murphy, people from age 65 and up or people with health complications may receive vaccination in New Jersey. Also, one reader suggested that Joe D. should have picked a celebrity over 65 years old. I think it was a good idea of Joe D. to try and get more African Americans to come out and get vaccinated. The vaccination is for your safety. While the vaccine is not a guarantee that you will not get the virus, it will protect you from getting really sick or going to the hospital. I have received my first dose of vaccination and will receive another dose in two weeks.
For NJ gubernatorial candidates from the Democratic Party, incumbent Phil Murphy is the only candidate declared to run for the primary on June 8, 2021. In the Republican Primary, there are five candidates who have already declared their candidacy. They are: Jack Ciattarelli, Brian Levine, Philip Rizzo, Hirsh Singh, and David Winkler. There might be more candidates who jumps into the primary race, as well as in the November 2 election as independent candidates. But as you all know, only two candidates will have a close contest, the Democratic candidate and the Republican candidate.
Have a wonderful week.
I’ll talk to you next week.
