Prince Harry gets serious about Meghan Markle romance
As Prince Harry and his girlfriend Meghan Markle return to work this week after spending some QT together in London, insiders are saying the couple's romance has intensified. "Harry is more serious [about Meghan] then he ever has been about a woman before," one source recently told People. Meghan and Harry began dating after they met in Toronto, where she films her series "Suits," in May. And from the beginning, he's reportedly held nothing back as far as his feelings for the actress, whom he "besieged with text messages" as a means of wooing her. "It wouldn't surprise me if he's already thinking about engagement just because that's where his head goes, another source told People, "but that's not where the relationship is at right now. This is totally Harry. The problem with Harry is when he falls, he falls hard. He goes in big time." According to E! News, Harry — who's expected to spend Christmas with his grandmother and other royal family members at their Sandringham estate — accompanied Meghan to Heathrow Airport on Sunday, Dec. 18. And while the American actress isn't wearing a ring yet, an insider says her prince is definitely thinking about settling down. "Harry really wants a family like his brother William has," says the source.

After seeing Meghan Markle off at the airport, Prince Harry joined his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Duchess Kate, at a party on Monday, Dec. 19, for volunteers affiliated with the youth support organization, The Mix, which hosted the royals to foster conversation about their mental health campaign Heads Together. During their visit, William and Harry sat in on a training session for volunteers learning to help young people deal with situations like homelessness, while Kate spoke to volunteers who work with people in crisis via a chat site, according to People.

Secret wedding for Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerly?
Is Margot Robbie a married woman? Australia's Daily Telegraph reports the "Suicide Squad" star and her boyfriend Tom Ackerly said "I do" over the weekend at Byron Bay, the same location where Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are rumored to be getting married. Although Margot and Tom have kept their lips zipped on social media, the tab (via the Daily Mail) points to posts from their siblings and friends that suggest the couple may have held a beachside wedding, while the Sun claims Margot's mom gave her away at the ceremony. The "say I do Down Under" the actress was spotted wearing at the airport last week didn't do much to dispel the wedding buzz.

Ryan Gosling had anti-selfie security at the Critics' Choice Awards
Film critics apparently aren't above begging for selfies with their favorite actors — and Ryan Gosling seems to be high on their collective list.

Candice Swanepoel speaks out about breastfeeding in public
Candice Swanepoel became a mom when she welcomed her son Anaca two months ago. Since then, the model has noticed there's a double standard when it comes to a woman who reveals her chest for the sake of art or advertising and someone who does to feed their child. "Many women today are shamed for breastfeeding in public, or even kicked out of public places for feeding their children," she wrote on Instagram over the weekend. "I have been made to feel the need to cover up and somewhat shy to feed my baby in public places but strangely feel nothing for the topless editorials I've done in the name of art..? The world has been desensitized to the sexualization of the breast and to violence on tv…why should it be different when it comes to breastfeeding? Breastfeeding is not sexual it's natural- Those who feel it is wrong to feed your child in public need to get educated on the benefits breastfeeding has on mother and child and intern on society as a whole."
