After a seven-week gap, Meghan is the main cover story again, with pictures of her outings with the Queen and sister-in-law Kate. If you're counting, this is her seventh "main story" cover of the year and she's also been featured in seven "sidebar" stories. This week's headline mentions "baby plans," any guesses for when the actual pregnancy announcement will come? "Some time in December, after the first trimester, with a birth expected in late spring or early summer" is my best guess. When will we see her on the cover again? This cover doesn't mention it, but she turns 37 on August 4. A "Her First Royal Birthday" cover next week? It's possible.
I had Meghan on the Guessing Game list, along with First Lady Melania, but People's "no Melania" policy is still holding -- even standing side-by-side with Her Majesty The Queen didn't get the First Lady a cover mention. What about George Clooney and his dramatic motorcycle accident? Oops, no. When I heard about George's accident I intended to put him on the list but it slipped my mind. Half credit? Sure, why not.
Some of the other Trumps were front-and-center last year and not in a good way. A year later things have only gotten sleazier for the president, his eldest son, his favorite child and her husband.
Last year at this time: Issue dated July 31, 2017
