Why July 4 Marked a Turning Point in Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Relationship
Nine years ago on July 4, 2016, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were going on their second date just one night after their (obviously successful) first date at Soho House in London. The Duke of Sussex told the story of the early days of their courtship in his 2023 memoir Spare—and the very American-themed gift he brought her to apologize for being late to their first date. It was on this day that Harry and Meghan decided to give their burgeoning relationship 'a proper go,' even though they lived on different continents at the years ago tonight in London, one Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met up for their second date—and realized they might be onto something here. It was July 4, 2016 when the two met up again after their first date just one night prior. The Duke of Sussex wrote all about it in his 2023 memoir, Spare—including the Fourth of July-themed gift he brought his future wife to apologize for being late to their first date the night before. In his memoir, Harry wrote about first seeing Meghan on Instagram—specifically a video Meghan and a mutual friend named Violet made—describing that he'd 'never seen anyone so beautiful' when he saw the Suits actress for the first time. Harry asked Violet to introduce them, and Harry and Meghan met up at Soho House in London. They clicked so effortlessly that they decided to meet up again the next night—July 4. 'She walked in, wearing a pretty blue sundress with white pinstripes,' Harry recalled in Spare. 'She was aglow. I stood and said, 'I bear gifts.' A pink box. I held it forward. She shook it. 'What's this?'' She opened the box to find 'Cupcakes. Red, white, and blue cupcakes, to be exact. In honor of Independence Day. I said something about the Brits having a very different view of Independence Day from the Yanks, but, oh well.' Meghan said she thought the cupcakes 'looked amazing.' At one point in the evening, the two shared a kiss, and 'Again the conversation flowed, crackled. Burgers came and went, uneaten. I felt an overwhelming sense of Overture, Prelude, Kettle Drums, Act I. And yet also a sense of ending. A phase of my life—the first half?—was coming to a close.' 'As the night neared its end, we had a very frank discussion,' Harry continued. 'There was no way 'round it. She put a hand to her cheek and said, 'What're we gonna doooo?'' referencing their long distance relationship (Harry was based in the U.K. at the time, and Meghan in Toronto, filming Suits). The two decided to give it 'a proper go,' and, after two back-to-back dates in London, the two had a very interesting third date—in Botswana, where they spent a week falling in love. 'For me, it was critical to share it with Meg,' Harry later said of bringing her to a country so special to him. 'We had to get to know each other before the rest of the world, before the media sort of, you know, joined it.' The two were engaged the next year, in 2017, and married less than two years after meeting on May 19, 2018. Read the original article on InStyle

Oasis Reunion Tour: The Full Setlist From Opening Night (UPDATING LIVE)
Get ready to hear 'Wonderwall': Oasis' highly anticipated reunion tour is finally here. The pioneering Britpop band's world tour — marking the first time famously feuding brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have played together since 2009 — kicks off on Friday night in Cardiff, Wales, at Principality Stadium. Richard Ashcroft from the Verve is the opening act alongside Liverpool-based band Cast. More from Variety Zak Starkey on His New Supergroup, and Moving on After Being Fired Twice by the 'F--ing Crazy' Who: 'I'm the Most Famous Drummer on Welfare' Amazon Launches Oasis Merch Storefront Ahead of Rock Band's Reunion Tour U.K. Ticket Resellers Employ Overseas Buyers to Secure Taylor Swift, Oasis Seats The Manchester-bred band's last album was 2008's 'Dig Out Your Soul,' and it remains to be seen if they'll debut any new music on this tour. Last year, Oasis celebrated the 30th anniversary of their seminal debut album 'Definitely Maybe,' and this October will mark 30 years since the release of '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?,' which propelled the group to global stardom with songs like 'Wonderwall,' 'Don't Look Back in Anger,' 'Some Might Say,' 'She's Electric' and 'Champagne Supernova.' It seems likely the band will play all of these hits during the more than two hours they've carved out for their set, but with the Gallagher brothers, you never know. After two dates in Cardiff, Oasis will stop in Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin before heading to North America in August. There, the band will play Toronto, Canada; East Rutherford, N.J.; Chicago, Ill.; Los Angeles, Calif.; and Mexico City, Mexico before returning to London for two more Wembley Stadium dates in September. They will then tour in South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil. Tickets for the reunion tour sold out pretty much immediately, causing another row between music fans and Ticketmaster as complaints were raised about dynamic pricing and nefarious resellers. As a result, an investigation was launched into Ticketmaster by the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority and 50,000 tickets that were resold on secondary markets were canceled.
