The Royals definitely seem to be taking over PeopleWorld’s hot list today. First up is Meghan the Duchess of Sussex. Before their Netflix docu series debuts tomorrow, she was in New York with Prince Harry to pick up an award for ‘fighting racism.’

The couple accepted the Ripple of Hope Award at the gala held by the 2022 Robert F Kennedy Human Rights organisation. Meghan looked incredible in a white off-shoulder dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Louis Vuitton.

Next up on PeopleWorld’s hot list is Catherine, Princess of Wales, who wowed in a red Jenny Packham gown at Buckingham Palace. However, it was her choice of jewellery that once again commanded attention for its historical significance.

The last person featuring on our hot list today is Hollywood star, Ryan Reynolds. The Hollywood actor received the Icon Award at the People’s Choice Awards and I can’t help but gush over his acceptance speech. “Blake and my girls, you are quite literally my heart, hope and happiness,” he revealed. “I joke that my family exhausts me, but you give me more strength than any man can possibly deserve.”

OK, I know it is a bit Hollywood and schmaltzy but it is the month of December and Christmas, so cut me some slack for getting all emotional.

Now how about PeopleWorld’s not so hot list today…

First up is Donald Trump. Yes, Donald, it is you again. He is in hot water as his real estate company has been found guilty of running a criminal scheme to defraud tax authorities. Oh dear Donald, it seems to be going from bad to worse for the former president.

Last up today is former England rugby coach Eddie Jones. He has been sacked by England for their poor run of form. Despite the 62-year old winning three Six Nations titles in his seven years in charge and leading them to the 2019 World Cup final, he has still been sacked.
