Markle revealed she and the prince had been in a relationship for six months before the rest of the world found out at the end of 2016. There was a media frenzy when it was revealed Harry was dating the U.S. star, the pair having met in July last year. The intense interest prompted the prince to issue a statement, attacking the press for subjecting his girlfriend to a “wave of abuse and harassment.” She admitted to Vanity Fair that the situation “has its challenges” and “comes in waves,” and that “some days it can feel more challenging than others.” “Right out of the gate it was surprising the way things changed,” said Markle, who plays lawyer Rachel Zane in the TV drama. “But I still have this support system all around me, and, of course, my boyfriend’s support.” She says she doesn’t read any articles about her — either about her private life or her work. “I haven’t even read press for ‘Suits.’ The people who are close to me anchor me in knowing who I am. The rest is noise.” Asked how she handles tabloid specu- lation about herself and Harry, Markle said: “We were very quietly dating for about six months before it became news, and I was working during that whole time, and the only thing that changed was people’s perception. “Nothing about me changed. I’m still the same person that I am, and I’ve never defined myself by my relationship.” She’s aware however, that as the rela- tionship progresses, the spotlight might turn more on to her and the prince. “We’re a couple,” she said. “We’re in love. I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. “This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy.

But the appeals court said that because John Nelson was Prince’s “presumptive father” under state parentage laws, he was also Prince’s “genetic father” under state probate laws. It said this meant Prince’s estate must pass to descendants of John Nelson and Mattie Shaw, which included none of the would-be heirs, who were not allowed to undergo genetic testing.

A MINNESOTA state appeals court Tuesday said fi ve people who claimed to be half-siblings of Prince did not deserve to share in the late pop super-star’s estate.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals said the judge overseeing Prince’s estate cor-rectly interpreted state parentage and probate laws in rejecting the would-be heirs’ bid to share in a fortune estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Judge Kevin Eide, of the Carver County District Court, decided in May that Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson and fi ve half-siblings qualifi ed as heirs.
Eide previously declared that John L. Nelson and Mattie Shaw were Prince’s parents because they were married when the singer, whose full name was Prince Rogers Nelson, was born in 1958.
Prince left no will when he died in April 2016 at age 57 of an accidental
overdose of the painkiller fentanyl, at his Paisley Park Studios compound near Minneapolis.
The singer’s many hits included “Little
Red Corvette,” “1999,” “When Doves Cry” and “Purple Rain.”
Darcell Johnston, Loya Wilson, Loyal Gresham III, Orrine Gresham and Venita Jackson Leverette, the would-be heirs, claimed that John Nelson was not Prince’s father, and that they were half-siblings through either of two other men.
But the appeals court said that because John Nelson was Prince’s “presumptive father” under state parentage laws, he was also Prince’s “genetic father” under state probate laws.
