‘I Don’t Miss
RHOBH’
LISA VANDERPUMP
There’s no love
lost between
Lisa Vanderpump
and the show that
made her famous.
The original Real
Housewives of Beverly Hills
star, who was all but absent
this season after a fallout with
the group, including BFF Kyle
Richards, has had a tough
time. Her brother, Mark, com-
mitted suicide, and then her
mom died. “It’s been a very
difficult year for me,” the Van-
derpump Rules star, 58, told
Us during Project Angel Food’s
12 Millionth Meal event in L.A.
on July 18. “[The Housewives]
made a very aggressive choice,
and it didn’t feel good to be on
the receiving end,” adding,
“People want to say I’m a liar
or I’m a coward, but I’m all
about being on the positive.”
W
hen Duchess Meghan
stepped out in a simple
yet chic green dress and
sunglasses at a charity
polo match in July (baby
Archie was her cutest accessory,
obviously), she looked like a regular
mom. Since welcoming her precious
son in May, “Meghan is adjusting
to motherhood and is really happy,”
a royal insider tells Us, adding
that none of this would be possible
without her mom, Doria Ragland.
“Doria has been a big help with the
baby and the life adjustment.” The
Duchess of Sussex, 37, also enjoys
raising her 2-month-old son in the
quaint countryside where Frogmore
Cottage is located, rather than
bustling London. “She really likes
living in Windsor,” says the insider.
“It’s much less complicated to have
friends visit, and feels less claustro-
phobic than Kensington Palace.”
Meghan is on such a high right now,
she’s not letting body shamers bring
her down. (Recent sightings at the
Lion King premiere and Wimbledon
in July have put the attention on her
postbaby body.) “It’s not easy to lose
the weight,” notes the insider, “but
she’s happy to be a realistic example
for new mothers.”
NO. 1 DAD To make things even
sweeter, her husband, Prince Harry,
34, has been a constant support for
her and Archie. Despite his many
royal obligations, the Duke of Sussex
“has been amazing and is a real
hands-on coparent,” adds the royal
insider. Harry’s adoring eyes
for Meghan, as seen in all those
photo ops, is totally genuine. “None
of it is an act.”
LIFE AS A MOM
The Beat Goes On
It’s 2004 all over again! Lindsay Lohan is “working
on new music and will be coming out with some stuff
in the near future,” a source tells Us, noting that
“she’s in a great mood and excited about this next
chapter.” Fingers crossed we’ll get to see more of
Lohan’s Mykonos moves in a new music video!
