EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son Archie has a new American playmate… after Meghan’s friend Misha Nonoo gives birth to a baby boy
Newly ensconced in La-la land, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have an American playmate for their ten-month-old son, Archie.
I can reveal that Meghan’s best friend Misha Nonoo has had a baby. The New York-based fashion designer, 35, has given birth to her first child, a son named Leo.
‘Our lives have been forever changed,’ says Misha, who is married to oil entrepreneur Mikey Hess, 33.

Meghan Markle and Misha Nonoo attend the 12th annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards at Spring Studios in November 2015
‘We love [him] more than we ever thought possible and cannot wait to share every adventure with [him].’
Misha, who reportedly played matchmaker to the royal couple, was previously married to Prince Harry’s friend Alex Gilkes.
She wed Mikey in a ceremony in Rome last year attended by Harry and Meghan. The Duchess gave a speech at the reception.

Self-isolation has brought together Sherlock star Amanda Abbington and her boyfriend, the actor Jonjo O’Neill.
The 46-year-old, who split from The Office star Martin Freeman in 2016, has moved O’Neill, 41, into her Hertfordshire home.
‘We’re enjoying drinking red wine and bingeing on TV series,’ she says. ‘I’m nearly a married woman.’
It doesn’t sound like they’re watching the Slough-based sitcom that made Freeman’s name, though.
‘I think the American Office is better that the British one,’ Amanda says. ‘I can say that and I did just say that. I know almost every line from it.’
BBC star Andrew Marr, who survived a major stroke and later a malignant tumour on his kidney, is determined to keep turning up for work.
‘I’m being careful because I’m sure Broadcasting House has coronavirus,’ he tells me. ‘We’re carrying on broadcasting, but taking super precautions and keeping our distance.
‘I’m not touching door handles or lift buttons or anything like that.
Marr, 60, adds: ‘When this is all over, I’m looking forward to going to the pub — it’s going to be very sweet when I can enjoy a pint.’
We’ll all raise a glass to that.
