Meghan Markle has snuck into New York City for an ultra-exclusive, top-secret baby shower

with her closest friends.

According to Harper's Bazaar, sources have revealed that the Duchess of Sussex, who is

seven-months pregnant, flew into the Big Apple last Friday for a five-night break and lavish

private baby shower with some of her closest friends.

The party will take place on Tuesday at a hotel on the Upper East Side with 20 of Meghan's

close friends, and has been arranged by her BFF, stylist Jessica Mulroney, reports Page

Six.

"The trip is a lovely chance to catch up with friends and spend time in a city she

loves," explained a source close to the duchess.

"This will be the last time a lot of them will see Meg until after the baby is born

so it's nice to share precious moments."

The source added that the trip was planned months ago, and that it's been a "relaxing"

visit.

Meghan and her best friend, Jessica Mulroney, were spotted in a private space at swanky

bakery Ladurée in the SoHo district on Saturday, where they shared macarons and tea.

Just before her trip to New York, Meghan enjoyed a quiet Valentine's Day with her husband

at their cottage within Kensington Palace.

However her February 14 are markedly different to the plans she described as the perfect

Valentine's in NYC on her lifestyle blog The Tig.

In a February 16, Meghan wrote: "This Valentine's Day I will be with friends, running amok through

the streets of New York, likely imbibing some cocktail that's oddly pink, and jumping

over icy mounds in my new shoes through the salted snowy streets of the West Village."

There is no royal protocol stopping Meghan's friends and family hosting a baby shower as

a celebratory event rather than to shower the duchess with gifts.

Marlene Koenig, a royal expert, said: "I would not be surprised if the Duchess of Sussex's

American and Canadian friends might do something and throw her a shower, thus maintaining the

North American tradition.

"In fact, there is nothing stopping them from hosting a shower."

Baby showers have soared in popularity since the 50s and 60s and are a way to 'shower'

expectant mothers with gifts for the baby and furnishings for a nursery.

However Royal expert Victoria Arbiter has previously told the Sun a baby shower could

be seen as "highly inappropriate."

Meghan Markle's rift with her father Thomas Markle will "get worse" after she gives

birth, a royal biographer has warned.

Andrew Morton, author of Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, believes the birth of the royal

baby is bound to draw a "public lament" from her estranged dad.

"There is the little matter of baby Sussex arriving in April," Morton wrote in Britain's

The Telegraph.

"Amid the joy and lament will be a public lament from Meghan's father wondering if

he will ever be allowed to see the child."

Her 74-year-old dad revealed he was "very sad" over the pair's turbulent relationship

that saw him release a letter the Duchess of Sussex wrote him, begging him to stop "victimising"

her.

Meanwhile, Meghan has made an unannounced trip to New York City.

The 37-year-old, who is in her third trimester and expected to give birth in April, is in

town to celebrate her pregnancy, the New York Post reports.

A baby shower for the actor-turned-royal will take place on Tuesday local time.

Meghan's best friend and stylist, Jessica Mulroney, is also in town to shower the mum-to-be.

The exclusive party will reportedly take place at a hotel on the Upper East Side with Mulroney

taking charge of co-ordinating everything.

Victorias secrets From a toothbrush for her hair to tequila to pep her up and a VERY messy bedroom - Duration: 2:40.

Victorias secrets From a toothbrush for her hair to tequila to pep her up and a VERY messy bedroom

She recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of her eponymous brand with a tongue in cheek video sending up some historic outfit choices – and joked that her microphone was sometimes switched off during her singing career.

Now has offered a further glimpse of her surprisingly self deprecating sense of humour on her own online video channel.

The account will go live today with a seven minute video documenting her recent trip to New York for the launch of a new fashion collaboration with Reebok.

The Spice Girl turned fashion designer has promised the channel will offer an opportunity to see the real me – including everything from candid family scenes to revealing insights into her beauty regime.

Its a dump: Victoria Beckham in her New York hotel room. The Spice Girl turned fashion designer has promised the YouTube channel will offer an opportunity to see the real me

It certainly has some surprises. Out and about, the mother of four is rarely anything less than impeccably turned out, but when the doors are closed, its a very different state of affairs.

At one point in the video, she opens her bedroom door at New Yorks The Mark Hotel and warns her guests: My room is a dump.

The suite, complete with kitchen, is littered with bedding, discarded slippers, water bottles and all the trappings of a very busy visit.

The king size bed is unmade, a suitcase lies open in one corner, and in the bathroom there are multiple make up bags – one branded with the initials V B – as well as cotton wool pads and countless bottles of lotion.

Victorias secret: The edge brush wielded by stylist Ken Paves. Its not exactly a toothbrush – even if it looks like one – but a tiny implement used by stylists to tame fine, fly away locks around the hairline

Victoria then shows the camera two wardrobes of clothes before unveiling the rest of the chaos.

She says: You can see why I drive my husband crazy, because he is super super tidy.

Im a germophobe, everywhere has got to be super super clean. I mean I will disinfect everywhere, but I am a bit messy, what are you going to do?

As she walks into the bedroom, she adds: This would be giving David a panic attack right now, a full on panic attack.

In a 2015 interview David admitted: I cant settle in at night before everything is tidy.

I will stay up until one oclock in the morning making sure everything is tidy, whether its vacuuming or putting things in the dishwasher.

She also reveals a surprising secret to her glossy hair – a toothbrush. Her hair stylist, Ken Paves, who has long been a fixture in Victorias life, appears in the video showing off the secret tool of his trade, deployed to make last minute tweaks to the stars casually undone style.

While she is known for following a disciplined diet and exercise regime, when jetlag hits, Victoria has a secret weapon up her sleeve – a bottle of tequila pictured: Don Julio tequila

In fact, its not exactly a toothbrush – even if it looks like one – but an edge brush, a tiny implement used by stylists to tame fine, fly away locks around the hairline.

Later in the video, Victoria looks distinctly less glamorous than usual when she allows viewers to see her with two tissue paper covered clips holding back her hair to keep her fringe in perfect shape before she goes out.

And while she is known for following a disciplined diet and exercise regime, when jetlag hits, Victoria has a secret weapon up her sleeve – a bottle of tequila.

But she doesnt go for any old stuff. Her drink of choice is Don Julio 1942, which retails at £120 a bottle. During her packed New York schedule, she arrives at the galleries of auction house Sothebys for a drinks reception.

We are all a little bit jet lagged, she says. We got up at four oclock this morning so we thought, Just take the edge off.

I take my mate Don with me most places, because even when youre really tired, really not in the mood, Don will get you through. Followers of the designer on Instagram will know she recently took a hip flask of her favourite tipple to a performance of Tina: The Musical – having been warned she might not like the wine.

Victoria also delivers a message about the importance of kindness and supporting other women at the launch for a fashion collaboration with Reebok.

And at the heart of it all is her seven year old daughter Harper, who stayed at home in London while her mother made the four day whistlestop trip to New York.

Victoria says: I think that as women we should celebrate the way we look and try and be the best version of ourselves, and not be too hard on ourselves. Be kind, to each other, as well as yourself.

This is what I say to Harper all the time… its not about who is the prettiest girl in the class, its not about who is the smartest girl in the glass.

Its about who is the kindest girl in the class, and about feeling good about yourself and celebrating that and supporting other women as well.

Victoria has previously spoken of her school days in a negative light, revealing she was bullied because she was different from the other children.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer predicting 'tough' test for Manchester United against Wolves - Duration: 2:22.

 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expecting another difficult FA Cup tie in the quarter-finals of the competition after Manchester United were handed an away trip to face Wolverhampton Wanderers

 After already knocking Arsenal out of the tournament at the Emirates, Solskjaer presided over another excellent performance to send holders Chelsea crashing out

 First half goals from Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba secured a comprehensive 2-0 win for the visitors as they bounced back from defeat to PSG and piled more misery on Maurizio Sarri

 Afterwards, the draw for the quarter-final took place and United were paired against Wolves – an opponent Solskjaer will not be taking lightly

 'An away tie again!' joked Solskjaer in his post-match interview with the BBC. 'You know you've had Arsenal and Chelsea so you hope for a home game

 'But that's it. Wolves away. We have to do it the hard way. They're a very tough team to play against

'  Wolves have already claimed a point at Old Trafford this season, drawing 1-1, and have taken points off a host of top-six sides including Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal

The FA Cup quarter-final draw in full  Swansea City v Manchester City Watford v Crystal Palace Wolves v Manchester United Millwall v Brighton  Asked about United's display against Chelsea, Solskjaer continued: 'The performance was fantastic

Tactics worked, obviously we asked Ander, Paul, our midfielders next to Nemanja Matic, to go a bit higher, get into the box more often, so it worked

 'But the defending second half, when we had to, was fantastic. Chris Smalling has been out for two months, just played a game, brilliant

An 18 year old man was fatally shot Sunday night after a vigil for a teen who was slain on the same Southwest Philadelphia street Friday night.

Police have not yet said if they believe fatal shootings are related.

The officers loaded the young man into the car and rushed him to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, he was pronounced dead at 7:40 p.m.

About for the aspiring rapper on Angora Terrace, 6ABC reported.

During the vigil, the teens mother, Nikia Collins, appealed for an end to the violence.

If you feel like you have to go out and avenge my sons death — dont do it, dont do it, she said, according to TV station.

The teens deaths were followed by two other separate shootings that left two teenage girls wounded Monday.

The first occurred about 12:55 a.m. inside a house on the 5600 block of Whitby Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia.

Samsung starts stable Android Pie update for Galaxy Note 8, but the US must wait - Duration: 2:30.

Samsung was certainly not the fastest Android device manufacturer to roll out an official 9

0 goodie pack for a 2018 flagship model, but after taking care of Galaxy S9, S9+, and Galaxy Note 9 users worldwide, the company is now delivering a timely new major OS update for the Galaxy Note 8

Released all the way back in the fall of 2017, the S Pen-wielding 6.3-inch powerhouse got some unexpected Android Pie beta love last month, and by the looks of things, those public tests went well

So well that the stable Android 9.0 Pie rollout is already underway, according to SamMobile, at least in countries like Bulgaria and Slovakia

If recent history is any indication, it might take Samsung a good few weeks to spread these Pie-flavored UI tweaks, performance enhancements, and stability optimizations around the world

But the update is likely to expand gradually to more and more regions in a matter of days, so be on the lookout for that over-the-air download notification

Naturally, public beta program participants will get first dibs on the official Android Pie update across supported regions, while owners of US carrier-locked Galaxy Note 8 variants may have to continue playing the waiting game for quite a bit longer

The Galaxy S9, for instance, kicked off its stable 9.0 deployment before Christmas, but America's "big four" wireless service providers needed an extra month or so to apply their proprietary software optimizations on top of Google's standard upgrades and Samsung's own One UI improvements

 Samsung's One UI is applied on top of Android 9.0Right now, we don't have a Galaxy Note 8-specific list of software changes to share, but there's really no reason to expect major differences between this phone's Pie treats and those previously released for the newer Note 9, S9, and S9+

If you don't know what One UI is all about, you may want to check out our thorough comparison with Experience 9, Samsung's previous Android skin version

Meanwhile, if you're burning with impatience to ditch your old handset's equally old Android Oreo build, you could try taking a look in your "System updates" menu under "Settings

" There's an option to "Check for system updates", and if you're incredibly lucky, you might be able to download the stable Android Pie package manually

Up next, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ should be able to make the jump to OS version 9.0 by the end of the month as well, at least in a handful of regions

Tourists exposed to radiation for years at Grand Canyon museum, claims rogue park official New Yor - Duration: 1:53.

Tourists exposed to radiation for years at Grand Canyon museum, claims rogue park official New Yor

Tourists, employees and children on field trips have been exposed to radiation for close to 20 years at a museum building at the Grand Canyon, but park officials never warned anyone, according to a frustrated worker.

In a rogue email to Park Service employees earlier this month, National Parks safety director Elston "Swede" Stephenson alleged a cover up of what he called "a top management failure."

Stephenson claimed that five gallon containers filled with uranium ore — including one container that could not close completely because it was too full — were removed from the building in 2018, according to the email, acquired by .

The containers were stored next to a popular taxidermy exhibit that is frequented by children taking the museums tour, he claimed in the email. Exposure to radiation beyond federally acceptable safety levels, as much as 4,000 times higher for children and 400 times higher for adults, could have happened within seconds.

But federal officials never warned park workers or visitors that they may have been exposed.

"If you were in the Museum Collections Building 2C between the year 2000 and June 18, 2018, you were exposed to uranium by OSHAs definition," . "The radiation readings, at first blush, exceeds sic the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions safe limits. … Identifying who was exposed, and your exposure level, gets tricky and is our next important task."

He also claimed that he was repeatedly blocked by higher ups at National Parks when he made requests for the public to be informed of the exposure.

OSHA, National Parks and Arizona Health Services are coordinating an investigation, Emily Davis, a public affairs specialist at the Grand Canyon, told the .

"There is no current risk to the park employees or public," Davis said. "The building is open. … The information I have is that the rocks were removed, and theres no danger."

She added that a recent building inspection found background radiation that is local to the area.

Florida student arrested for disturbance after he refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance, p0lice sa - Duration: 2:30.

Florida student arrested for disturbance after he refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance, p0lice sa

News of the arrest has drawn criticism that the First Amendment rights of the student, who is black, were violated. "This is outrageous. Students do not lose their First Amendment rights when they enter the schoolhouse gates," The ACLU of Florida wrote on a tweet. "This is a prime example of the over policing of Black students in school."

But the school district said Monday that the student "was NOT arrested for refusing to participate in the pledge."

On February 4, the student at Lawton Chiles Middle Academy in Lakeland refused to take part in the Pledge of Allegiance, according to the Polk County School District and Lakeland police.

A substitute teacher in charge of the class was unaware the district student code of conduct doesnt mandate students participation, the district said. The teacher exchanged words with the student and called the school administration, according to the district. A school resource officer also responded.

A school administrator and the officer asked the student to leave the class, but the 6th grader refused, Lakeland Police said. Lakeland Police said the student, who left the classroom, created another disturbance, and made threats as he was escorted to the office.

He was arrested for disrupting a school function and resisting an officer without violence and transported to the Juvenile Assessment Center, police said.

"We do not condone the substitutes behavior," the district said in a statement Monday. "We respect our students right to freedom of expression and we are committed to protecting that critical right while ensuring peaceful classrooms so all students can learn."

The boys mother told she doesnt understand why the situation escalated. Talbot told the station her son is in gifted classes and had been bullied at the school in the past. She has not returned calls from CNN.

"Im upset, Im angry. Im hurt," Dhakira Talbot told the station "More so for my son. My son has never been through anything like this. And I feel like they shouldve handled this differently."

"If any disciplinary action shouldve been taken, it shouldve been with the school," she said.

She said her son, who the station said is 11 years old, "shouldnt have been arrested."

In a statement to the school district after the incident obtained by Spectrum Bay News 9, the substitute teacher wrote that when she asked the student to stand for pledge, he "answered that he wont because the flag of the country is racist. He then started to explain why the national anthem was offensive to black people."

The dean of students who responded to the classroom asked the student to leave the classroom more than 20 times, Lakeland police said.

The campus school officer, who responded to the classroom, made the decision to arrest the student, school officials said. That officer was not called by the administration, the district said.

No one from the middle school asked for charges to be filed and for the student to be arrested, school officials said.

"This arrest was based on the students choice to disrupt the classroom, make threats and resisting the officers effort to leave the classroom," Lakeland police said.

The substitute teacher who was involved in the incident was asked to leave the campus immediately, after giving a written statement, the district said. She will no longer be allowed to work district schools, according to the district.

Meghan Fashion - Doria Ragland made snacks for Oscar de la Renta designers - Duration: 3:23.

The designers behind Doria Ragland's royal wedding outfit have revealed how the 'sweet' mother of the bride brought along healthy snacks for them to fittings

 According to Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, the design duo heading up the late Oscar de la Renta's brand, Meghan's mother came to fittings in the run up to the big day armed with treats, but only healthy choices - 'no cookies'

 They told Buro Middle East that royal bride Meghan - who wore a wedding gown by the British designer Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy - approached them for her mother's outfit because she wanted a US-based fashion house represented on her big day

  After receiving a 'very exciting' email from Meghan's assistant ahead of the wedding, 'we flew to LA to meet Doria and she brought us snacks to the fitting,' Fernando said

 He added: 'They were healthy snacks because she's a runner.'  'She's so sweet, her snacks were so cute too,' his fellow designer Laura added of the mother of the royal bride

 'It wasn't like cookies, it was very thought out.' Doria's pistachio green mother-of-the-bride ensemble - with a chic co-ordinating beret style hat - was widely praised in the wake of the royal wedding, and the co-creative directors described the response on the morning of the event as 'insane'

  'We had crazy press!' Laura said. But they confessed it was only when Doria emerged from the wedding car with her daughter before the ceremony that they knew for certain she had worn it

 Fernando said the Palace had gone 'radio silent' in the days leading up to the wedding, but that the duo had simply been 'hoping for the best'

  Of seeing her in what they'd created, Fernando recalled an 'eerie sense of unity' because the 'whole world was watching'

   Yoga instructor Doria's passion for fitness is no secret. She's frequently been snapped out and about in LA in her workout gear, and has passed on her devotion to exercise to her daughter, who has previously said yoga is 'in my blood'

 Before she became a royal, then actress Meghan was also fond of sharing her healthy food and fitness tips on her now defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig

   The Duchess of Sussex, who is now expecting her first baby, has herself worn Oscar de la Renta on a number of occasions - including a spectacular tulle cocktail dress chosen for the Australian Geographical Society Awards in Sydney on her royal tour with Prince Harry

 She also chose a more divisive blue and white floral maxi dress to attend the wedding of Celia McCorquodale, niece of the late Princes Diana, a month after her own big day
