Here?s a question I?m sure plagues most brides: is it better to go into space before or after your wedding? So much goes into planning the big day, I?d think a lot of people would opt for waiting to play astronaut until after. But Lauren Snchez is not most people. When others say formal winter attire, Lauren hears uncovered bustier. So naturally the noted journalist, bestselling author, pilot, entrepreneur, philanthropist, chairperson, and future Mrs. Bezos, is going the other way (as in, away from Earth), and squeezing in an aerospace flight ahead of her nuptials. Fresh off of the confirmation this week that Lauren and Jeff are marrying in Venice this summer, Blue Origin (the groom?s company) has just announced their first all-woman space mission is set to blastoff on April 14. How do we know they?re all set to launch? Because they?ve got the official mission patch graphic!
Blue Origin is ready to send several superstars to space.
The launch date for the upcoming flight, which will include Katy Perry, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguy?n, Gayle King, Kerianne Flynn and Lauren Snchez, was confirmed this week.
New Shepard?s NS-31 11th human flight will be Monday, April 14.
It will lift off from Launch Site One in West Texas. The New Shepard launch window opens at 8:30 a.m. CDT / 13:30 UTC.
Additionally, Blue Origin released the NS-31 mission patch.
Per the company, a few of the key symbols embedded include:
The target star symbolizes Aisha Bowe?s ambition for setting big goals, passion for STEM, and commitment to inspiring future generations.
The scales of justice symbolize Amanda Nguy?n?s efforts to advocate for civil rights, break barriers, and empower everyday people to create change.
The shooting star microphone represents Gayle King?s commitment to sharing important stories with the world.
The firework symbolizes Katy Perry?s global influence across music, pop culture, and philanthropy.
The film reel symbolizes Kerianne Flynn?s passion for filmmaking, storytelling, and crafting beautiful narratives.
Flynn the Fly, the main character in Lauren Snchez?s bestselling children?s book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, is along for the ride. The story is about overcoming adversity, inspiring kids with learning differences to pursue their dreams.

Real talk: how likely is it that the designer of that mission patch got paid an astronomically higher fee than anyone makes at Amazon? Also, ?The firework symbolizes Katy Perry?s global influence across music, pop culture, and philanthropy,? made me chuckle. Why not just say it?s a nod to her song?! Katy was recently confirmed to be on Lauren and Jeff?s wedding guest list, as was Gayle King. So my next question is: is New Shepard NS-31 the bachelorette party? If so, I hope the invites said, ?Will be out of this world!? (I know, I know, I?m hilarious.) In all seriousness, I hope the flight runs smoothly and safely, and that all women aboard make it back in time for the wedding? and the rest of their lives. The recent spate of layoffs at Blue Origin has me worried, which probably won?t go away until after this whole unnecessary joyride once in a lifetime experience is over. And on top of that, the takeoff is in West Texas, currently battling an entirely preventable measles outbreak. The world is so fun right now.

When QEII was still alive, there was basically a regular feature in the British tabloids, where they claimed that every single thing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did or said was a ?slap in the face to the Queen.? That expression happened with such frequency, I often joked that every step Meghan took in California was like a slap in the face to the Queen?s corgis. Now that QEII is long gone, these people are fighting for their lives trying to make Meghan and Harry?s California existence all about the left-behind Windsors. The thing is, when everything Meghan has done for seven-plus years is a five-alarm fire, people simply get bored with the outrage machine. This is just an American woman? building a brand and cooking on a lifestyle show. And recommending clothes & beauty products on a ShopMy page. Well, Meghan?s ShopMy page is going to bring down the monarchy, obviously. Its a slap in the face to every shoulder pad out there. But never fear, sources promise that when Prince William is king, things will be a lot different!
Jaws dropped and eyebrows hit the ceiling in England this week when Meghan Markle (Sussex) debuted her ShopMy page, clearly marking it ?Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,? and noting, ?A handpicked and curated collection of the things I love ? I hope you enjoy them! *Please note, some products may contain commissionable links*?
The site, selling Markle?s recommendations on clothing, makeup and something called a ?wedding edit,? is a clear move to monetize her title ? despite her vow to never to return to England, a country she dislikes, and to her husband?s family, people she loathes.
?You do not monetize the monarchy,? a royal insider told me. ?It?s just tacky and classless. She could have used her name, Meghan Markle, or even Meghan Sussex, but to promote the page as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex? It?s hideous.?
?Now, to be fair, King Charles sells his products ? jams, jellies and honey, sound familiar? ? but they proceeds all go to charity. I sincerely doubt Meghan?s proceeds from her As Ever line or ShopMy page is going to Archewell as opposed to her bank account.?
Markle?s rep didn?t return my email asking if the As Ever or ShopMy proceeds were going to charity or her personal account.
Regardless, another royal friend told me: ?(Meghan) is really pushing the family to the limit. She wants them to cave to her. They won?t but it?s very tense. Meghan never got over the fact that she had to bow and curtsey to Catherine (Kate Middleton) when she was in England. Meghan didn?t understand hierarchy or rank. And she loathed Catherine ? and loathed having to curtsey to her. (Meghan) thought she was going to be the boss and ? it didn?t work out that way.?
Is Meghan pushing the family too far?
?I doubt King Charles would rescind (Meghan and Harry?s) titles ? that would be slamming the door firmly shut ? but William would. Things will change sooner rather than later. When William is king, there will be firm boundaries. Mark my word.?

Again? ?Duchess of Sussex? is her married name. They?re doing all of this over her married name. And clearly, based on the weeks of screaming tantrums just a short time ago, they would have also been incandescent with rage if she used ?Meghan Sussex.? Anyway, it?s pretty rich for ?insiders? to cry about Meghan ?monetizing the monarchy? when the whole-ass king has been taking bribes for honors for decades, not to mention all of the royal-branded kitsch they sell everywhere over there. ?Things will change sooner rather than later. When William is king, there will be firm boundaries. Mark my word.? My guess? This whole ?Meghan?s ShopMy controversy? this week has been coming from Kensington Palace, and William in particular. When William is king, he?s going to stomp his feet and throw pillows and demand that his sister-in-law take down her ShopMy page! Do you see how childish that sounds, Peg?
