It’s a very special day today for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – and they have double reasons to celebrate. While millions of Americans are marking July 4, the Sussexes are also celebrating the day for another special reason. The early days of their relationship filled with new and exciting adventures – and one such date swept Meghan off her feet as Harry paid homage to her home country.

In his autobiography Spare, Harry describes how he first met Meghan after being introduced by a mutual friend and describes their early beginnings together. Meghan was in London when Harry gave her a small but meaningful gift while the couple had a date at Soho House.

Due to his tardiness, which occurred on July 4, 2016, Harry was able to apologize by handing Meghan a small token.

She entered the theater while sporting a stunning blue sundress and white pinstripes, Harry recalls. She appeared gloomy. I yelled, “I bear gifts,” and I did. a pink box . I persevered. She grinned and said, “What’s this? “

She opened the box, she said. Cakes . To be exact, red, white, and blue cupcakes. In honor of American Independence Day. Meghan said the treats “looked amazing” despite the fact that the Brits had a very different perspective of Independence Day than the Yanks.

Harry recalled his wonderful first date with the woman who would become his wife, and the cupcakes appeared to seal the deal.

The conversation continued and sounded as though it was breaking. Unaffected, burgers came and went. I experienced Act I, Kettle Drums, Prelude, and Overture all at once. And there’s also a climax. The first half of my life was a phase? — was coming to an end.

As the engagement came to an end, Harry described how they had a “very open discussion” about the future as they continued to date far away while Meghan remained a resident of the US and Harry still called the UK home.

Later that year, Harry invited Meghan to spend a week with him in Botswana, a country that holds a special place in his heart, as he wrote: “For me, it was critical to share it with Meg. We had to get to know each other before the rest of the world, before the media sort of, you know, joined it.”

Dr Phil ‘Cash Me Outside’ star Bhad Bhabie hit with £494,000 lawsuit

Once known for her viral ‘ Cash Me Outside ‘ catchphrase, Bhad Bhabie (Danielle Bregoli) turned online notoriety into a multimillion-dollar empire through music and OnlyFans

Danielle Bregoli, better known to the world as rapper and OnlyFans powerhouse Bhad Bhabie, who gained viral fame after her appearance on Dr. Phil, could be facing legal trouble as American Express files a lawsuit against her for a whopping $674,452.40 (£494,030) in alleged unpaid credit card debt.

Court documents filed this week show the credit card company is suing the 22-year-old for breach of contract, claiming she defaulted on a credit agreement tied to an account issued in April 2021. The account in question, ending in 5000, allegedly stopped receiving payments around December 19, 2023.

“Plaintiff extended credit to Defendant for purchases and/or cash advances by Defendants and/or persons acting with Defendants ‘ permission on the American Express account..”. the legal filing states, according to People.

“Defendant promised to repay Plaintiff for all charges, fees, and interest on the Account by paying the balance in full every month or by making monthly payments”.

American Express is now reportedly seeking full repayment of the outstanding balance, along with damages for the alleged breach. Despite the size of the debt, Bregoli dismissed the claims in a blunt statement to The Shade Room, saying: “S** not true. Where do they get this s*** from? *”

The lawsuit comes just days after the influencer and entrepreneur gave an interview to Interview magazine, where she reflected on her controversial success on adult content platform OnlyFans. “A good way to make a lot of money fast”, she said of the platform, where she reportedly earns nearly $1.5 million a month.

Since joining OnlyFans shortly after turning 18, Bregoli has repeatedly claimed she’s earned over $75 million, even showing receipts to back up the figure. In 2021, Billboard confirmed she pulled in $1 million within just six hours of launching her account, breaking platform records at the time.

Despite her wealth, she admitted to spending heavily on “properties, cars, and all type of s**. *” Currently, her subscription fee stands at $23.99 (£17.50) per month.

Bregoli shot to fame in 2016 when, as a 13-year-old, she appeared on Dr. Phil in a now-infamous episode titled: “I Want to Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter…”

She reacted to a laughing audience with the phrase “Catch me outside, how about that” during the segment, which quickly became known as “Cash me ousside, how bout dah” (catch me outside, how about that)).

That moment saw the growth of a meme-centric, musical, and eventually digital empire. Despite her millions, Bregoli may be dealing with some very difficult financial issues right now.

The Mirror has contacted Danielle Bregoli’s representatives for comment on this story.
