E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Princess Prep 101: How Meghan Markle Is Getting Ready for Life as a Royal
For further coverage on this topic be sure to tune in to Live from E! at 2:30pm ET/11:30am PT.
Now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced their engagement, the Suits actress can prepare for life as a royal. In fact, it looks like her training has already begun.
A source told E! News the actress was briefed about dealing with the media and press intrusion "very early on." Royal admirers will recall how Prince Harry came to Markle's defense after the actress experienced "a wave of abuse and harassment" following speculation of their relationship.
"His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment," a statement from Kensington Palace read at the time, confirming the lovebirds' relationship status. "Some of this has been very public—the smear on the front page of a national newspaper; the racial undertones of comment pieces; and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments."
It also stated, "Some of it has been hidden from the public—the nightly legal battles to keep defamatory stories out of papers; her mother having to struggle past photographers in order to get to her front door; the attempts of reporters and photographers to gain illegal entry to her home and the calls to police that followed; the substantial bribes offered by papers to her ex-boyfriend; the bombardment of nearly every friend, co-worker, and loved one in her life."
In addition, the insider told E! News Markle has received some defense training—such as learning how to deal with threats or kidnappers—and that "she knows all the protocol."
However, it looks like the bride-to-be has some more work to do. According to the source, Markle will work with Harry's closest aides over the next few months and may be appointed an advisor, similarly to how Kate Middleton worked with Sir David Manning. The source said this figure will also serve as a "mentor" to the future royal.
"It won't be so much etiquette but more along advice and mention on things, such as state matters and foreign affairs," the source said.
Markle has already gotten a taste of making royal appearances. Earlier today, Markle and Harry made their first appearance as an engaged couple. The two posed for pictures and answered a few questions from the press at Kensington Palace. She also gave people a glimpse of her gorgeous and symbolic ring. She's also made the move to London, where she will live in Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace with Harry.
Still, Markle has only a few months to complete the rest of her training. She and Harry are scheduled to tie the knot in the spring of 2018.

E! News Exclusive: Here's What Led Ben Affleck to Enter Rehab for Alcohol Addiction
E! News http://www.eonline.com/news/
Ben Affleck is staying focused on his health and sobriety.
Shortly after the Oscar winner announced on social media that he recently completed treatment for alcohol addiction, E! News is learning more about the actor's decision to get professional help.
"He didn't want to cycle through anything he had dealt with in the past," a source shared with E! News exclusively. "He's moving in a healthy, balanced direction."
Our insider also assures us that entering rehab had nothing to do with Jennifer Garner. Instead, the Hollywood star decided to do everything on his own including his public announcement.
"He didn't want to hide," our source explained. "He will continue to work on it. This was a step, but it's a progressive process. He's in a good place."
On Tuesday afternoon, Ben released a statement to his Facebook followers and revealed his personal news that he had completed a stint in rehab.
"I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I've dealt with in the past and will continue to confront," Ben shared with his followers. "I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be. I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step."
The actor also thanked Jennifer, with whom he shares three children with and separated from in 2015.
"I'm lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I've done the work I set out to do," he explained. "This was the first of many steps being taken towards a positive recovery."
While many details of Ben's stint in treatment will understandably remain private, our source did share one theme during the actor's visit that made an impact.
"He learned a lot while he was there," our insider shared. "Everyone has a story and was open about it. That was meaningful to him."

E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Inside Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski's First Days of Parenthood
Welcome to the parenthood journey, Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski.
It's only been a couple of weeks since the Hollywood couple welcomed their first child into the world. In a short amount of time, however, the pair has already experienced plenty of joy as mom and dad.
"Like all first time parents, they are overwhelmingly happy and overwhelmingly exhausted," a source shared with E! News exclusively.
Our insider added, "They're surrounded by loving friends and family and they can't imagine going through all of it with anyone else."
While the newlyweds have yet to reveal any personal details about their daughter, it's perfectly clear that 2017 is already turning into a very special year.
During a recent appearance on The Late Late Show, Thomas revealed that he secretly eloped with Amanda in March.
"We just took off into the country with an officiant and just the two of us, and we did our thing…We had a great day," he shared. "It was perfect."
According to Thomas, both parties wrote their own vows and recited them in front of Amanda's dog who was in attendance.
"She's the person I love, admire, respect most in the world," Thomas gushed to James Corden. "It was beautiful. It was everything that it should be. It was just the two of us talking to each other."
While a wedding was more than exciting, it was the arrival of a newborn that really had this couple pumped for the future. While supporting their new movie The Last Word, the couple gushed about their future family member.
"I'm ready to go," Amanda admitted to E! News' Marc Malkin. "I'm ready to meet the kid!" Thomas added, "I'm terrified but I couldn't be more excited. She gets the singing. I do the diaper changing."
Congratulations again to the happy couple!

E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Inside Bob Harper's Recovery: How The Biggest Loser Star Is Reevaluating His Future After Surprise Heart Attack
If you were searching for a Hollywood star who was fit, strong and healthy, Bob Harper was your guy.
Whether training contestants on The Biggest Loser, breaking a sweat to his fitness DVDs or cooking up recipes from his cookbooks, this 51-year-old was a man in more than just good shape.
But just a few days after news broke of Bob's surprise heart attack earlier in the month, fans are still trying to figure out how the fitness expert could have experienced such a frightening health scare.
"There were some warning signs in the months before this happened," a source shared with E! News exclusively. " He wasn't feeling his best, but he didn't think there was anything to be concerned about. He has never suffered from high blood pressure and didn't think he was at risk."
While his mother passed away from heart issues, our source says that she was not as healthy as Bob. And while there is a genetic connection, Bob "always tried to live his life in the healthiest way possible to avoid this kind of incident."
Through an Instagram post shared on Tuesday morning, Bob thanked fans for all their support while delivering an update on his recovery.
"I'm required to wear these monitors to see what my heart is doing throughout the day," he wrote while posing shirtless. "I feel like a robot from Westworld. Thank you all for your kindness. You have no idea how much it helps."
Fellow Biggest Loser trainer Jen Widerstrom added, "@trainerbob I think I speak for everyone when I say how truly grateful we are that you are OK, how important you are to us & this industry, and how we are all in your corner as you work back to 100% BADASS BOB."
E! News has learned that Bob remains in New York City where he has been with friends and discussing what changes he needs to do in order to avoid this from happening in the future.
"Of course he has nothing to be ashamed of, but it has definitely led him to reevaluate things and try to better understand how this happened," our source shared. "Luckily, he is going to make a full recovery but obviously it is forcing Bob to make some important decisions about his future."

E! News Exclusive: Irina Shayk Is Pregnant!
E! News Exclusive: Irina Shayk Is Pregnant! Victoria’s Secret Model Expecting First Child With Bradley Cooper
It looks like this Victoria's Secret model just let the cat out of the bag!
Multiple sources tell E! News that Irina Shayk is expecting her first child with Bradley Cooper. According to one insider, the pregnant star is in her second trimester and is "so excited" about becoming a mother for the very first time. Bradley's rep did not respond to requests for comment on the happy news, however, Irina's rep had no comment.
The 30-year-old Russian model strut her stuff at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Paris earlier this evening, where she made her runway debut for the lingerie giant in a range of barely-there bras and see-through panties. The mama-to-be also donned a trench coat with one of her runway looks and a red fringe robe with another one of her sexy ensembles. Backstage, she kept her midriff covered up while in a signature pink Victoria's Secret silk robe while she got runway ready.
Even though Irina was joined by a bevy of angels for the actual show today, she was noticeably absent from the plane ride to the City of Light with the other famous ladies earlier this week.
However, just one day later, Irina was seen leaving a Paris airport en route to her hotel solo.
The Oscar nominee and model were first romantically linked back in May of 2015 when they were spotted strolling around New York City kissing and holding hands.
And while the two have managed to keep most of their personal lives out of the public eye, with neither side speaking about their romance to the press, these two have made no secret of their love for one another.
E! News reported back in July 2015 that the two were going strong and that "everyone that is close to the couple really thinks this is it for the two of them."
Our insider further dished that the two "just work really well together and want to spend every minute they have free together. Both families love seeing them so happy."
The source also shared that starting a family together was already something that they were seriously considering, saying, "They both want kids one day and that's been discussed between them. They have a huge attraction to each other between them and their personalities and their sexual energies.
"You see them in a room and you immediately are in love with them as a couple."
Congratulations to both Irina and Bradley on their exciting baby news!
E! NEWS BREAKS: LEAH REMINI REVEALS
E! NEWS BREAKS: Leah Remini Reveals If Tom Cruise and John Travolta Have Reached Out Following Her Scientology Claims
To hear more from Leah Remini and her experience in the Church of Scientology, watch E! News tonight at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Leah Remini doesn't expect a call from some of Hollywood's most famous Scientologists anytime soon.
As the actress continues sharing her past experiences in the church, a few familiar faces are being brought into the dialogue.
When asked if prominent members John Travolta and Tom Cruisehave recently reached out to her, Leah claimed they are not permitted to do so.
"They will not reach out to me. They are not allowed to reach out to me," she shared with E! News before the series premiere of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. "John Travolta by the way is one of the nicest, sweetest people you're ever going to meet.
She continued, "They wouldn't want to reach out to me because what they've been taught is that I mean them harm, that I am an anti-social personality that means them harm, that I literally wake up in the morning and want them to fail in life. That is the mentality."
One celebrity Leah tries to keep out of the discussion is her close friend Jennifer Lopez. Because the singer's dad is a Scientologist, Leah doesn't want to interfere with their family dynamic.
"She's very loving and very supportive but I don't want to put Jennifer in a position where she has to promote this show. I don't want to hurt her relationship with her dad and that's the difference," the author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology shared with E! News. "I'm okay with people being Scientologists. I will still be there friend. I will still be the godmother to your daughter. It's you who will not talk to me because I don't believe in Scientology and that's the point."
The Church of Scientology has repeatedly denied Leah's claims and allegations. In response to her A&E docu-series, a spokesperson for the church recently issued a statement to Today.
"Leah Remini's ‘reality' show, like her last one, is nothing more than a scripted, rehearsed, acted and dramatized work of fiction," the statement read in part. "She and the other anti-Scientologists in her program have been expelled from the Church for unethical conduct."
The spokesperson also encouraged people to learn more about Scientology by visiting its website.
For Leah's part, she assures viewers that she feels safe and doesn't regret giving "brave" people the opportunity to speak out.
"The people who are just average people who dedicated their lives to this organization and are willing to tell me their stories, these are the brave people of the world," Leah shared with E! News. "With the series, they will hopefully get the acknowledgement they deserve."
Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath airs Tuesday night at 10 p.m. on A&E.
