The Guessing Game - Updated

What will be on the cover of People this week? My guesses:

Britney Spears: Mental health issues; her manager says she may never perform again
Will Smith: His new movie, Aladdin, opens May 24
Kim and Kanye: Baby #4, whom they've named Psalm, Friday is their 5th anniversary
Grumpy Cat: The famous feline is now in cat heaven
I.M. Pei: Died at age 102
Harry and Meghan: Their first anniversary. If there hadn't just been two covers featuring newly arrived Archie, the wedding anniversary would almost certainly rate a main cover story. As it is, People will probably mark the occasion with a sidebar headline.
Lady Gabriella Windsor: Who? She's a cousin of William and Harry's (technically they're 2nd cousins once removed, she's the daughter of Prince Michael of Kent and the notorious Princess Michael.) She got married today, which normally wouldn't be that big of a deal, but the wedding was at St. George's Chapel, the same venue as Harry and Meghan's ceremony one year ago; new dad Harry and the Queen were both in attendance. Interestingly, Kate's sister Pippa, her brother James and her parents were all in attendance too, although William and Kate were not. Read more here, and here's a nice picture of the wedding party leaving the church. I like the British tradition of having little kids as attendants:



Stories that appear on the cover will be highlighted in green.

Saturday afternoon update. Arnold Schwarzenegger: Dropkicked by some guy while on a visit to South Africa. The Terminator has graciously declined to press charges. Read about it here.
Mick Jagger: Recovering from heart surgery and ready to tour; new tour dates have been announced

Update #2 on Sunday afternoon. Gayle King: The new version of CBS Morning News starts tomorrow.

Update #3 on Monday morning. Scarlett Johansson: Engaged to Colin Jost
Laine Hardy: Wins American Idol
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis: Kensington Palace has released cute new pictures of William and Kate's kids:







The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share some new photographs of their family as they visited the RHS Back to Nature Garden at the #ChelseaFlowerShow on Sunday afternoon. The photographs were taken by @mattporteous. The #RHSChelsea Back to Nature Garden, designed by The Duchess and award-winning landscape architects Andrée Davies and Adam White of Davies White Landscape Architects, is a woodland setting for families and communities to come together and connect with nature. Her Royal Highness is a strong advocate for the proven benefits the outdoors has on physical and mental health, and the positive impact that nature and the environment can have on childhood development in particular. Over the past months, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have helped The Duchess gather moss, leaves and twigs to help decorate @The_RHS Back to Nature Garden. Hazel sticks collected by the family were also used to make the garden’s den. The Duchess told Monty Don in an interview for the BBC: “I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental wellbeing, particularly for young children. I really hope that this woodland that we have created really inspires families, kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors, and spend quality time together.”
