A promotional video clip for Saturday Night Live that was released last Thursday apparently implies that comedian Pete Davidson had previously proposed to Cazzie David, but was rejected.

In the promo, Davidson appears next to host Jonah Hill and musical guest Maggie Rogers. He looks over to Maggie and says, “Hey Maggie, I’m Pete. You want to get married?” Seemingly without even considering it, Rogers shoots off a curt “no,” to which Davidson looks at the camera, deadpan, and says, “oh for three.”

According to TMZ, this is apparently a reference to his alleged proposal to Cazzie David, who is the daughter of comedy great Larry David, co-creator of Seinfeld. The two dated for several years before breaking it off earlier this year. Apparently, Davidson popped the question to David several times, but she rejected him each time.

The other failed proposal refers to his engagement to mega-pop singer Arianna Grande, whom Davidson began dating right after breaking up with David. It’s hard to imagine that comedian Davidson knew the SNL promotion he was in last Thursday would receive the backlash it did on the internet, but it did.

Arianna Grande, Davidson’s ex-fiancée, responded to the quip on Twitter with “for somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh.”

The two former lovers are the center of a controversy that also involves Mac Miller, the late Pittsburgh rapper who died of an overdose in September. Miller and Grande dated for two years before breaking up earlier this year. Only several months after that, she and Davidson announced that they were engaged. With this looming in the background, online trolls attacked Grande after Miller’s overdose, blaming her for his death.

It has been surmised that Grande and Davidson’s relationship suffered following the overdose, as they broke off her engagement soon after.

Love is an intensely personal thing, especially when it comes to family, and the Royal Family is no exception. The Queen isn’t only a monarch and Head of State, but a woman, a mother, and a grandmother, too, with a family all her own — and every family has its complicated story.

The Queen has reigned for 67 years and counting — longer than even her great-great-grandmother. In that time, Queen Elizabeth was blessed with children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. That’s a lot of competition for attention. Now, also with in-laws in the picture, let’s take a look at the Queen’s relationship with each family member…and why a certain relationship is particularly complicated.

Queen Elizabeth married her husband, Prince Philip, in 1947 — that means they’ve been together over 72 years. The couple are actually third cousins, something you wouldn’t see these days. Over that time, the couple has brought four children into the world: their eldest, Charles, Prince of Wales, the heir to the throne; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and their youngest, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. They have all gone on to have children of their own.

As well as being a wife, mother, and grandmother, the Queen is also a sister and an aunt. Her father King George VI had only two children, both daughters: Elizabeth, the eldest, and Margaret, the youngest. Though Margaret has now sadly passed away, she is survived by two children of her own, David and Sarah. The Queen’s niece and nephew are 20th and 23rd in line for the throne, respectively.

The Queen and Prince Philip have eight grandchildren altogether, though some are more famous than others. The whole world knows Prince William, who is second in line for the throne, and his younger brother Prince Harry is just as popular. Up until recent years, Prince Harry was third in line. The Queen’s other grandchildren are Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, Princess Anne’s children; Lady Louise Windsor and James Viscount Severns, Prince Edward’s children; and Princess Beatrice of York and Princess Eugenie of York, Prince Andrew’s daughters.

If you ever asked your grandparents who their favorite was, they’d look at you with a twinkle in their eye and swear they loved everyone just the same — but we all know love and favoritism are two very different things. In the Royal Family, Prince Charles was said to be the Queen Mother’s favorite grandchild. The two shared a special bond, which was a great comfort to the Prince when he was grieving the death of his wife, Princess Diana.

Like the Queen Mother, Queen Liz is very involved in her grandchildren’s lives — especially William, the future heir. From early on, she took an active role in Prince William’s education, knowing he will someday be King. With Prince Harry, on the other hand, the Queen has been known to take a more casual approach with less focus on royal responsibilities — the two have been seen chatting and laughing on many occasions.

Sharing the spotlight with Princes William and Harry are their cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. These two are well-known socialites and fashion icons in their own right and have made quite a splash in society. Their outfits and their lifestyles have caught the eye of the public, and won them many admirers — but have they made enough of an impression on the grandmother to qualify as the favorite?

The list of grandchildren continues with the children of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex. A daughter was born to the couple in 2003, Lady Louise Windsor, followed by her little brother James, Viscount Severn, born in 2007. These two are the youngest of the Queen’s grandchildren, and the youngest are often the favorites in any family. Still, there are more grandchildren to go, so we shouldn’t make our minds up just yet.

That might seem like a lot of names to keep up with, but we’re not done yet. The Queen’s reign has been a long one, and as time goes by her family continues to grow, with the addition of several great-grandchildren. The Queen is great-grandmother to Prince William’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, as well as Prince Harry’s son Archie. There are also Savannah and Isla, and Mia Grace and Lena Elizabeth. The great-grandchildren are still quite young, but their time will come to shine.

Prince William is second in line to the throne, after his father Prince Charles, and you might expect that would make him his grandmother’s favorite. The two have spent a lot of time together since William was born, with his gran training him in what it means to someday be King. The two are very close, and they have a unique relationship. They are grandmother and grandson, but they are Monarch and Future Monarch, as well — though it seems that hasn’t quite made him the favorite, after all.

Prince Harry, William’s younger brother, has his own unique relationship with the Queen as well. There have even been rumors that he was the favorite, and it’s not hard to see why. In the Queen’s Christmas Message in 2017, she had photos of her family members on display — but only one of her grandchildren was include in the shot. You guessed it — it was Prince Harry. Not even Prince William and Kate made the cut!

Prince Harry was once third in line for the Throne, but since the birth of his nieces and nephews, he has moved back a bit in the succession. This has meant his relationship with his grandmother is not quite as serious or professional as her relationship with William. Harry and Lizzie are often seen laughing and joking around, and the two appear to be very fond of one another — which has fuelled rumors that he is the favorite for quite some time.

Prince Harry and the Queen promoted the Invictus Games in a 2016 video, filming a light-hearted take on an American video. One clip you’re sure to recognize from the video is Prince Harry’s now famous mic drop. The Invictus Games allow sick, injured, and wounded veterans to compete, as well as armed services personnel, and the Queen is said to have had a great time filming the video.

The Royal Family is like other families in many ways, but in some ways can be quite different. Family events and holiday meals must still follow protocol, and even a Royal’s partners must receive an official invite before they can attend. In 2017, in a big break from protocol, Prince Harry’s partner Meghan was invited along to Christmas — sparking further rumors than Harry might well be the favorite after all.

The Queen isn’t just the Head of State — she is also the Head of the Church of England, and the Church has a complicated history with divorce, to say the least. The Queen has traditionally avoided weddings where either party was divorced, like Prince Charles’ wedding to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. However, the Queen broke tradition to attend Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle — who was divorced before she married the Prince. Yet more fuel on the fire of the rumors that Harry is the favorite!

Another royal tradition is to treat the Queen with the utmost respect — the Royal Family will avoid poking fun at Her Majesty, but that doesn’t seem to include Prince Harry. Harry has been known to make playful comments about his grandmother, which no one else would do, like the time he said he found it very hard to shop for her. Although it’s a tame comment, it’s out of the ordinary to be so light-hearted about the Queen, and it points to Harry at least being in the running for the position of favorite.

When Harry and William were young, their mother Princess Diana passed away. William was 15, and Harry was only 12. This tragedy brought them closer to their grandmother, who was there for them after their mother’s death. They were only kids, after all, and they needed love and support following this dark and troubled time. The Queen was there for her grandsons when they needed her most, and that formed a special bond between the Princes and their grandmother.

Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan, now Duchess of Sussex, has been seen in public spending time with the Queen — it’s as if the two of them are the best of friends. It seems clear that the Queen has welcomed Meghan into the family and into her heart. Meghan and the Queen were seen in public together less than a month after she and Prince Harry were married — now that’s a friendship formed in record time!

Princess Anne is the Queen’s only daughter, and she has two children, a daughter and a son: Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips. Zara has known her fair share of the spotlight, too, though not in the realms of fashion and high society. Zara has competed in the Olympics, winning silver at London in 2012. She has inherited her grandmother’s love of horses, and has won many other equestrian competitions — enough to make her the favorite?

Although Zara and Peter’s mother is a Princess, they didn’t inherit a royal title like their cousins. That’s because, according to royal tradition, only the children of a Prince are granted the title of Prince or Princess. They were given the opportunity, though, when the Queen offered them both a “courtesy title.” That’s the kind of generous offer someone might make to a favorite, though in the end the two of them decided to decline, instead living without such royal titles.

Peter Phillips, like his younger sister Zara, declined the offer of a “courtesy title.” He preferred instead to live a regular life as one of the people — as regular as possible, at least, for a man whose grandmother is the Queen! Peter has worked several jobs, received a university education, and has raised a family of his own — a life any common man might live. So, it may come as something of a shock to learn he is said, by many, to be the Queen’s favorite grandchild!

Who is Peter Phillips, anyway? Born November 15, 1977, he is the only son of the Queen’s only daughter, Princess Anne, and he’s the firstborn of the Queen’s grandchildren, too. Peter might not get the same amount of press as some other members of the Royal Family, but he shares a unique and close bond with his grandmother all the same. When he and his sister were younger, they spent time with the Queen in Balmoral, Sandringham, Windsor, and played in the halls of Buckingham Palace.

Like so many of us, Peter loves his gran. He speaks of her with warmth and fondness, and he has expressed his respect for her role as the monarch of the United Kingdom and head of the Royal Family. The two spend time together when they get the chance, sharing a cup of tea and chatting about life. Things haven’t always been quite so friendly, though — Peter has caused some scandals in his time, and they’ve landed him in the Queen’s bad books.

Peter’s come a long way since he was a little boy growing up in the royal palaces. Even without the title of “Prince,” Peter’s place in the Royal Family has been of great interest to the public, particularly his wedding. There are strict protocols around royal weddings: the Palace only allows official statements and photos of the Royals, and everything needs to be approved in advance — but when Peter was married, he had other ideas…

Peter married his sweetheart, the Canadian actress and model Autumn Patricia Phillips, in 2008. Although the Queen approved of the match, there was part of Peter’s plan she would certainly not have approved of — if she had known. Without his gran’s knowing, Peter had made a £500,000 deal with the tabloids, giving exclusive wedding snaps to Hello! Magazine. Photos not just of the happy couple, but of the other Royals, as well…

The wedding photos of Peter and Autumn were printed, and they came as quite a surprise to the Queen and the Palace. It’s hard to imagine the Queen being anything but displeased when she found out. Not only that, but the government got involved as well — the Queen is the Head of State, and so the government takes Palace protocol very seriously. The Queen was not a “footballer’s wife,” they said — she shouldn’t be shown off so casually in a tabloid magazine.

The rest of the Royal Family was not amused, either. Princes Harry and William were unhappy to discover their new girlfriends featured in the wedding pics as well. The princes were planning to use the wedding as an opportunity to introduce their girlfriends, Kate Middleton and Chelsy Davy, to their grandmother. Now, they felt that this personal and private occasion had been spoiled by Peter’s decision.

It took some time until the Queen was on good terms again with Peter, and the whole ordeal seemed to be forgotten. Peter’s wife, Autumn, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Savanah, only a few years after the wedding. This happy occasion seems to have smoothed things over, and the Queen was reported to be thrilled at the new addition to the family.

Peter and Autumn had their second daughter, Isla Elizabeth, in 2012. It was around this time that they started to retreat from the public eye and pursue their own lives in private. Peter may have learned his lesson from the scandal of his wedding photos, although he is still involved with his family, which he would demonstrate again some years later with a very special event.

The Patron’s Lunch was a special event organized for the Queen’s birthday, and Peter played a big role in putting it together. It commemorated his grandmother’s special day and highlighted the tireless work she had done as Queen. Prince Harry and Prince William were involved as members of the Patron’s Lunch board, but Peter was the one who brought it together and made it happen — which is exactly something that a favorite would do.

So, the Queen is very close with Prince William and Prince Harry, having a unique relationship with both — but they don’t quite qualify as the favorite. In the final count, with all things considered, the Queen’s grandson Peter wins that position. There’s one simple fact that can’t be overlooked here: Peter is the Queen’s first grandchild. It was Peter who made her a grandmother, and Peter is the grandchild she’s known the longest. That has to form a special bond, and it shows.

It might come as a shock that the Queen’s favorite isn’t one of her more well-known grandchildren, like Prince William or Prince Harry, but these things don’t always turn out how we might expect — and that’s not to say the Queen doesn’t love all her grandchildren equally. After Peter put together the Patron’s Lunch, though, we have to ask: who doesn’t love a big, fancy birthday party? A special celebration goes a long way, even if the Queen does spend more time with Prince William and Prince Harry these days.

If Peter is the Queen’s favorite grandchild, who does that make her favorite child? For many years now, it’s been said that the Queen’s favorite child is her second son, Andrew. Andrew is the Queen’s first child to be born after she began her reign. The last ruling queen to give birth was Victoria, over a century before. She has spoken proudly of his service in the Falklands War.

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, is the latest of Queen Elizabeth’s great-grandchildren to be born, bringing the number to seven. It’s still early days for the great-grandchildren, though — they’re all so young, and they haven’t had much chance to develop a relationship with their great-grandmother just yet.

This is all just speculation, of course, because the Queen would never admit she had a favorite — but it’s human nature to have favorites, and Queen Elizabeth is just as human as the rest of us. Based on rumors shared by many sources, and the evidence we see from public occasions, it seems that Peter stands out as the favorite grandchild — but of course, Lizzie’s love for her entire family is without question.

There’s nothing quite as personal as a mother’s love for her children, and although the Queen is a very public figure she keeps that aspect of her family life as private as possible. The Queen has many demands on her time, and Prince Charles has spoken of his mother’s absence when he was young. On the other hand, his brothers and his sister have spoken fondly of their mother’s warmth and love when they were growing up.

Princess Elizabeth wasn’t born as the heir to the throne — in fact, for most of her life, she was third in line. Then, with the death of her grandfather when she was only 10, she became second in line. Her uncle, as the eldest son, took the throne. This was a short reign, though, because he abdicated shortly after. This made his younger brother — Elizabeth’s father — the King. In 1952, when her father passed away, Elizabeth took the throne, being only 25 years old.

When she was only 14, Princess Elizabeth wanted to fight for her country when World War II broke out. She was too young, of course, but it goes to show that the Queen has always loved her country.

The war raged on, and when she turned 18, the girl who would be Queen joined the women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service — making her the only Head of State alive today who saw active service in WWII.

Gammy, Nona, Oma — people have more names for their grandparents than we can count. Although most of the Queen’s grandchildren affectionately refer to her as “Granny,” it seems there are two exceptions. When he was still very young, William couldn’t quite pronounce “Granny” — so his special nickname for Lizzie was “Gary.” Kate Middleton has said her son George follows in William’s footsteps, calling the Queen by the adorable nickname of “Gan Gan.”

Everyone has that friend who celebrates her “birthday week,” and the Queen takes the opportunity to celebrate her birthday twice a year. It’s just another perk of being the boss. Her actual birthday is in the gloomy month of April, so following a family tradition she chooses to also celebrate in a sunnier month like May or June. Other monarchs have done the same, and it sounds like a good deal to us!

After being married 12 years, the news of Peter’s split from his wife Autumn is said to have greatly upset the Queen. Some sources have said that Autumn’s decision came as something of a shock to Peter, too, who was said to be “devastated.” However, there have also been reports that the split is amicable, after months and months of a rocky relationship. The pair are said to have had a “conscious uncoupling,” but they aren’t planning to finalize the divorce in a hurry.

There was some concern that Autumn would return to Canda, and take her children with her — something the Queen would not want to see happen to her great-grandchildren, or her family. That didn’t happen in the end, though. Zara, the Queen’s eldest granddaughter, is reportedly quite close to Autumn. It’s said that the two spoke things over, and Autumn made the decision not to leave the country.

Zara and Autumn are close friends, in part because of their close proximity. The two live at Gatcombe Park, Princess Anne’s estate, and their daughters are close as well. It’s no surprise, then, to hear that Autumn had considered moving back to Canada — it can’t be comfortable living with your ex, after all, but Zara is said to have reassured Autumn that she’s still one of the family, no matter what’s happened.

Despite their split, and despite Autumn’s Canadian citizenship, she and Peter have both decided to stay in the country. It appears they’re putting their children first, and want to be the best parents they can be to their girls. Autumn’s decision might be unrelated, but it comes at a time when a split with the family and a move to Canada is in the news with another of the Queen’s favorite grandchildren, Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan.

With the world reeling from the news that Harry and Meghan were moving to Canada, there was less of a focus on Autumn and Peter announcing their separation. It’s said the couple was struggling before now, and perhaps they took this as an opportunity to make the split public. 2020 has barely even begun and already the Queen’s grandchildren have been making a big splash in the news. With Harry and Meghan’s big announcement, though, Autumn and Peter’s news might make less of a stir.

How could this news affect the Queen’s choice of favorite? Everything changes over time, after all, which includes personal relationships — and the Queen is no exception. She won’t be as close with Harry and Meghan anymore, because they’ll be too far away to catch up quite so often anymore. When it comes to Peter, time will tell how his latest news might change his relationship with the family.

One of the most enigmatic royal relationships has undoubtedly been between The Queen and her son, Prince Charles. Many believe that the two never managed to form the bond that had been hoped for. This was in no small part due to the fact that Elizabeth started her royal duties around the same time that Charles was still very young. In fact, experts believe that Charles had a closer bond with his nursery staff, as well as his grandmother. He gave her an emotional tribute at her funeral in 2002.

It is clear that Queen Elizabeth II found it very difficult to come to terms with what was happening between her son Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. From day one, the couple didn’t seem to be on the same page and with time, they grew more and more distant. With both parties reportedly cheating on each other, The Queen managed to avoid sharing her thoughts on the matters at every possible opportunity. Despite this, experts can’t help but assume that the Queen was left heartbroken.

It was a saga that had so many twists and turns. Prince Charles’s relationship with Camilla has been extremely unpredictable. Although he seems to have finally gotten his way with the Duchess of Cornwall, The Queen didn’t seem to exactly approve of their holy matrimony. Ultimately, she didn’t get in the way of the couple’s love, despite the fact they were both divorcees. On April 9th, 2005, Charles and Camilla officially tied the knot at a registry office. “She’s made our father very happy,” Harry said.

It is no secret that The Queen has a strong relationship with her grandson Prince William, as well as his wife Kate Middleton. However, there’s actually much more to it than that. Ingrid Seward told Majesty Magazine that Elizabeth II could end up seeking more support from the couple after it was announced that Peter and Autumn Phillips were no longer together. “If she didn’t have them, I think she might say to herself: ‘Goodness, after over 70 years on the throne, it’s come to nothing,'” Seward said.

To say that The Queen’s relationship with Harry and Meghan has been complicated would be the understatement of the century. While some have wondered why The Queen has been so lenient towards Meghan, there have also been incidents when she has been surprisingly withholding from the Duchess of Sussex. It is also believed that The Queen was deeply “disappointed” when Harry and Meghan decided to spend their first Christmas as a family away from the royal family.

It is generally accepted that a baby’s birth helps to bring families closer together. However, this seems to have caused the opposite effect when baby Archie was born. It turns out that the Queen didn’t end up attending the christening of Harry and Meghan’s newborn son, despite being seen in photoshoots with him. Moreover, Elizabeth II had attended ceremonies of other grandchildren. What makes things even stranger is that The Queen was apparently planning a 38th birthday party for Meghan around the same time.

What also adds to the mixed signals The Queen was sending Meghan Markle was her tendency to bend the rules for her – something that completely bewildered the media. Before Meghan even married Harry, The Queen reportedly let Meghan attend the family Christmas dinner, something that only family members were allowed to attend in the past. Moreover, Harry ended up becoming the first royal to marry a divorcee in the church. The Queen was responsible for that…

Although The Queen has been very lenient towards Meghan in many respects, there have been other situations where she has been pretty strict. For example, she didn’t let the Duchess of Sussex have access to her Royal jewelry collection. “There was this row where Meghan wanted this particular necklace, Harry said ‘Meghan gets what Meghan wants,’ and the Queen turned around and said ‘oh, no, she doesn’t,” commentator Gavin Gray said. “I decide what necklace is going to be worn out of the Royal Collection.'”

One decision Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that was bound to upset The Queen was their choice to step down as “senior members” of the Royal family. After issuing a statement on social media, The Queen commented on the news, claiming that the family “are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family.” However, it is believed that Prince Charles is “livid” about it. Moreover, insiders have claimed that The Queen has been personally “hurt” by the news.

On the flip side, Harry and Meghan have made it crystal clear that they are still determined to make The Queen proud and are, by all accounts, still representing her. Their decision to step down as senior royal figures has certainly made experts question their loyalty to Elizabeth II. However, the couple has since doubled down on their stance, claiming that they are just as loyal to “Her Majesty The Queen” as ever. Time will tell if they are being honest.

The Queen is said to be quite upset at the news of Peter and Autumn’s split. Three of the Queen’s four children are divorced, and now it seems the same thing is happening to her grandchildren. That isn’t the real reason, though. It turns out it wasn’t just Peter who was the Queen’s favorite, but his wife Autumn was one of her favorites as well. The two are said to be close, and it must be a difficult time for the Queen to be losing a friend from the family.

Some days, it might seem like the Royal Family is falling apart. First, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their decision to step down as working royals and move to Canada, and then the announcement of Peter and Autumn’s split. There are some who say that Harry and Meghan’s decision gave Autumn the courage she needed to make her own break from the family, despite the sacrifices she’d made to become a part of the family in the first place.

Autumn met Peter in 2003 at the Montreal Grand Prix. They began dating, long-distance at first, and after a few short years, Peter proposed. It seemed like a fairytale romance. There were sacrifices to be made, though. Autumn had been raised Roman Catholic, but to marry a Royal she had to convert to the Church of England — a long-standing royal tradition. Autumn made the change, and the two were wed.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about Peter’s relationship with Autumn is that at first, she didn’t even know he was a member of the Royal Family! We have to wonder how that didn’t come up in conversation sooner. It wasn’t until she’d moved to England that she found out about her boyfriend’s family. Apparently, it happened by chance when she saw Peter at Prince William’s 21st birthday — while watching TV with her mother! “What have you gotten yourself into?” her mother asked, and perhaps she was wondering the same thing.

Despite the ups and downs, life goes on for Peter. He continues to work, sometimes finding the strangest of jobs. Most recently, he’s been spotted appearing in ads — for a milk manufacturer based in China! Appearing as “British Royal Family member, Peter Phillips,” he speaks of Jersey cows, of his childhood, and of drinking glasses of milk. Not everyone bought it, though — Darren McGrady, Princess Diana’s former chef, hit back. He claimed that when it came to milk, maybe Peter had enjoyed the occasional glass, “a couple of days at Christmas and a weekend at Easter.”
