Stop making fun of Meghan Markle's celebrity jam brand!!!!28 May 202400:07:34
It seems that Meghan Markle is feeling sensitive about the criticism she has received following the launch of her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, according to royal expert Tom Quinn. Despite sending jars of her brand's first product, strawberry jam, to friends and influencers for taste testing, Meghan has faced what she perceives as "unfair criticism."

Mr. Quinn suggests, in the Mirror, that both Meghan and Harry, feel that people are unjustly targeting them, and Meghan struggles to understand why her work isn't being admired. He also notes that she is particularly sensitive about any criticism of her luxurious lifestyle in the United States, which she believes should be admired rather than critiqued.

So who’s to blame for the current freeze between Harry and the family?27 May 202400:07:31
Did Charles blow off Harry?  Did Harry blow off Charles?

Did Charles offer Harry a place to stay?  Did Harry decline it and then blame security?  Are we to believe a hotel has more security than a castle?

King Charles puts (almost) everything on hold until July 424 May 202400:07:59
The Royal Family has announced that they will be postponing certain engagements in light of the upcoming general election, which Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called for July 4th. In a statement, the King and Queen expressed their intention to avoid any appearances that may "divert attention or distract from the election campaign," in accordance with normal procedure during such times.
While the King and Queen's scheduled appearances at the D-Day 80th anniversary events in Portsmouth and Normandy in June are expected to proceed as planned, other carefully planned engagements in the royal diaries will be disrupted. The Royal Family has sent their sincere apologies to those who may be affected by these changes.

The tabloids seem to have run out of "Kate is Wonderful" stories.  Even reruns. I mean, how many times can you tell us how relatable she was that one time she was in a supermarket.

So it's off to stories about Sophie and Princess Anne, and maybe even Beatrice will have to wave at the commoners this summer.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly worried about this German documentary17 May 202400:07:49
OK Magazine reports the Sussexes may  be worried about an upcoming documentary on the royal family - and what elements of their past lives it might unveil.

Richard Mineards, who covered the Royal Family for UK newspapers said, “Los Angeles-based producer Melanie Hillmann grilled me for two hours”
According to a source, “There are many things that both of them, especially Meghan, don’t necessarily want in the public domain. It’s no secret that they both led colourful lives before they met each other, and while Harry has spoken about a lot of mistakes in his book, there are still things about Meghan we don’t know”.

Per OK, the source claims that there are things from her past that she’s “brushed over” – but there are people out there “willing to speak out”. And one element under examination could be the breakdown of her first marriage, something which could prove “explosive”, claims the source.

That source adds, “Her first marriage didn’t end well and her ex-husband is yet to speak out – but who knows, for the right amount of money, he may have his say,”

Harry and Meghan's charity no longer delinquent - but is the damage done?16 May 202400:07:45
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's non-profit organization, Archewell, is back in good standing after a brief period of being declared "delinquent" in the US. The charity had to halt all fundraising and spending due to this designation, which was a result of failing to submit its annual report and registration fees on time. However, sources close to the couple insist that all necessary filings were submitted punctually.

The Department of Justice's website now lists the charity's status as "current," indicating that the issues have been resolved.

In a statement to The LA Times, the California attorney general’s press office confirmed: "After being in touch with our Registry of Charities and Fundraisers, the organization is current and in good standing."

Earlier, a letter from California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta noted that Archewell had let its registration fees lapse since the beginning of May, rendering the charity "not in good standing" and prohibiting it from soliciting or distributing charitable funds. The letter warned of possible penalties and the suspension or revocation of the charity's registration.
Despite this, a source told the Mirror that the fees were not actually late, claiming: "For whatever reason, it has not been cashed. As soon as the foundation learnt of the problem, they immediately issued another cheque. Harry and Meghan's team hope this will quickly resolve the issue within the next week."

A representative for Archewell later assured The Mirror: "We have diligently investigated the situation and can confirm that The Archewell Foundation remains fully compliant and in good standing. Due payments were made promptly and in accordance with the IRS’s processes and procedures. Furthermore, all necessary paperwork had been filed by the Foundation without error or wrongdoing."

PR Expert Ryan McCormick suggested to the Mirror that the damage is already done.
What makes a Royal Visit and did Harry and Meghan just do one anyway?15 May 202400:08:51
Royal Insider Deep Crown says:

The notion that Meghan Markle's appearance at the coronation was simply an opportunity for her to 'play the princess she always wanted to be' is, in my opinion, a gross oversimplification of the situation.

Being a member of the royal family is not some fairy tale or Disney movie, where one can simply don a tiara and live happily ever after. It's a life of duty, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to the Crown and the people it serves. It's a role that comes with immense responsibility and scrutiny, and one that requires a great deal of resilience and fortitude.

To suggest that Meghan merely wanted the glamour of being a royal without the 'tiresome protocol' is to do her a great disservice. It's clear that she struggled with the constraints and expectations of royal life, and that the constant media scrutiny and criticism took a heavy toll on her mental health and well-being.
But to reduce her motivations to a simple desire for fame and attention is, I believe, a mistake.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's charity is "delinquent and not in good standing" (Bulletin)14 May 202400:08:47
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charity, Archewell, has been ordered to suspend all fundraising and spending after being branded "delinquent and not in good standing" by California's attorney general, Rob Bonta. The scathing letter stated that Archewell has allowed its registration fees to lapse since the beginning of May, resulting in the charity being prohibited from engaging in activities that require registration, such as soliciting or disbursing charitable funds.

Archewell is now required to submit records to explain the late payment and pay late fees. The foundation has reportedly filed for an extension. The "delinquent" label was given due to Archewell's failure to submit its annual report and registration fees. If the delinquency is not remedied, the charity's status could be further changed to suspended and/or revoked.
However, a source close to Meghan and Harry has insisted that all the necessary documents were filed on time, including a physical cheque. The insider told the Mirror, "For whatever reason, it has not been cashed. As soon as the foundation learnt of the problem, they immediately issued another cheque. Harry and Meghan's team hope this will quickly resolve the issue within the next week."

The Daily Mail reminds us Archewell says its mission is to 'show up, do good', adding: 'We meet the moment by showing up, taking action and using our unparalleled spotlight to uplift and unite communities - local and global - through acts of service and compassion.'

The foundation is separate from the couple's Archewell media and business divisions which have been involved in the Netflix and the $25 million Spotify deal.

King Charles and Prince William make joint appearance - Meghan and Harry Nigeria trip ends, what's next?14 May 202400:07:58
In a rare joint official engagement, King Charles has handed over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to Prince William. The transfer of the colonelcy took place in front of an Apache attack helicopter at Middle Wallop airfield in Hampshire.

King Charles, who became the inaugural holder of the title 32 years ago, expressed his "great sadness" in passing on the role. He said, "Let me just say what a great joy it is to be with you even briefly on this occasion. But also it is tinged with great sadness after 32 years of knowing you all, admiring your many activities and achievements through the time that I've been lucky enough to be Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.

In an exchange with an attendee, Charles was asked about his chemotherapy and shared, “It was “terrible losing your sense of taste,”
 
Meanwhile, in Nigeria:  Meghan co-hosted a Women in Leadership panel event, where she admitted to changing her style in a bid to "fit in" with the local fashion. She looked stunning in a red maxi dress, ethically created by Nigerian designer Orire and priced at less than £230. Meghan revealed that her decision to wear the bold dress was a last-minute choice, explaining, "It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived, and I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour so I can fit in with all of you in your incredible fashion."

Although Meghan arrived an hour late to the event, her passionate speech seemed to make up for any ill feelings. She expressed her gratitude, saying, "I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you've all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country… my country. I am just flattered and honoured and inspired. It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived."

While Meghan was co-hosting the event, Prince Harry reportedly left her in Abuja to visit a hospital in Kaduna, a region deemed "unsafe" by the UK government. The UK foreign office advises against all travel to Kaduna State due to frequent banditry, violent attacks, and a high threat of kidnap. Despite the risks, Harry, accompanied by a four-strong security detail, visited the hospital to meet with Nigerian soldiers who had suffered injuries fighting against the terrorist group Boko Haram.
Has Nostradamus predicted King Regent Harry for 2024?13 May 202400:08:57
According to Nostradamus experts, he also predicted that in 2024, the royal family would face turmoil with a King "driven out by force" and "replaced by one who will have no mark of a king." Nostradamus expert Mario Reading interpreted this prophecy to refer to an unpopular King being forced out by the people's wishes and replaced by an unexpected successor.

If Charles is sick, and William doesn't want to be King, and his kids are too young...

Enter Harry.

Very busy Prince William plays beach volleyball10 May 202400:07:48
Sorry Harry, we really are too busy to see you.

The Royal Watchers earned their money this week as they overanalyzed every tiny detail of Harry’s visit, and the King’s busy schedule.

Prince Harry's appearance at St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday appeared to carry a subtle message aimed at his father.

Dressed in a suit, Harry wore four medals on his chest, including one awarded by his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. However, for the second time in recent weeks, he did not wear his King's Coronation Medal, a decision that did not go unnoticed by observers. The Coronation Medal, given to recipients involved in the Coronation ceremonies and processions, was absent from Harry's attire during both his appearance at St Paul's Cathedral and a previous video presentation.

The King had a thousand people over. but not Harry.

Wills hit the beach and got his serves in.
Will Martha Stewart take down Meghan Markle?20 Aug 202400:08:21
A source told In Touch: "Martha (Stewart) has seen hundreds of Meghan types come and go — and says they all come in with the same self-inflated hype, only to find out it’s a whole new ball game when it comes down to brass tacks. She's tired of being quizzed by people over how she feels about Meghan's venture because, honestly, it's irritating and insulting to her that she's being compared to a rookie!"

Charles gives William a role that should have been Harry's, Harry attends Invictus alone, other Royals have Garden Party09 May 202400:10:06
So many layers today...

Hours before he was due to appear at the 10th anniversary service of thanksgiving at St Paul's, Harry was spotted leaving an event. 
Harry waved and said "hello" to onlookers. Holding a black folder under his arm, Harry was asked if he was "happy to be home", to which he simply chuckled and dodged the question by saying: "Nice to see you."

We’ll take that as no.

Royal expert Charlotte Griffiths She claimed Harry made "certain demands" about who could be in the room for a meeting with the King, and who couldn’t.  One wonders if the couldn’t includes Camilla, the wicked stepmother.
Royal expert Rupert Bell suggested to TalkTV "Maybe the King just feels like he's not ready, emotionally, as well as anything else, to have even 30 minutes with his son.

"Thirty minutes isn't really enough time to get beyond the small talk stage. What they really needs is some honest-to-goodness father and son time."


On Wednesday, Prince Harry made a poignant entrance into St. Paul's Cathedral, adorned with four medals proudly displayed on his blazer, accompanied by another around his neck. His attire spoke volumes about his dedicated service and commitment to various causes.

The medals adorning his blazer included the Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan, the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal, and the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal, each symbolizing different milestones and achievements in his service to the nation.

Around his neck, he wore a star, a distinguished emblem signifying his status as the Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (RVO), further highlighting his esteemed position within the royal hierarchy.

However, amidst the solemnity of the occasion, Prince Harry appeared to stand alone, without any other members of the royal family by his side. While he attended the Invictus Games service at St. Paul's Cathedral, his absence was notable at Buckingham Palace, where the King hosted the inaugural annual garden party, joined by other senior royals.

As he entered St. Paul's Cathedral, Prince Harry greeted the crowd with a warm smile and a wave, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and resilience that defines the Invictus Games. His presence at the event, where he was slated to deliver a reading alongside actor Damian Lewis, served as a poignant reminder of his ongoing commitment to serving those who have sacrificed for their country.

Harry received a warm welcome from the Dean, the Very Reverend Andrew Tremlett, as he was escorted to his seat beneath the cathedral's majestic dome.
Taking his place beside his mentor, Mark Dyer, Prince Harry engaged in a brief exchange with his uncle, Earl Spencer.

Acknowledging the stark realities of conflict and its aftermath, the Dean lamented, "We lament the pain, cost, and indignity of war and terror, and pray for a world where justice shall reign and where the nations will find their longed-for unity."

"We recall, with admiration, the skill and determination of those who seek to repair, rehabilitate, and reclaim the lives of those living with serious illness or injury: changing and saving lives."
..
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News "Mike Tindall, who is the husband of Zara, the King's niece, has been given a high position to do something about the Invictus Games.

"I think Harry is absolutely furious about this. It has been announced, but very quietly."

 
The Royal Family presented a united front in support of King Charles at the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the summer season. His Majesty was joined by Queen Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester for the event.
Charles, dressed in a distinguished grey suit paired with a light blue waistcoat, greeted the gathered crowds with a smile as he entered the garden alongside the Queen.

Buckingham Palace announced Prince William and his father would be sharing a joint engagement in the upcoming week. William will be bestowed with the distinguished title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.

Prior to Prince Harry's decision to step back from royal responsibilities four years ago, it was widely speculated that he would assume this prestigious role, considering his deep connection with the regiment he had bravely served alongside during his time in Afghanistan until 2014.

The timing of the announcement, however, raised eyebrows among royal observers. 

"Timing is everything," remarked one insider. Another insider noted that the King's choice to pass on this cherished role to his eldest son, coupled with the apparent lack of a meeting with Prince Harry, is likely to be interpreted as a deliberate message

Royal Insider Deep Crown tells us, “"The timing of Prince William's appointment as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps is no accident."  And as for the King being busy, Deep Crown quipped,  remarks Deep Crown, a seasoned royal insider. "Even I could secure 15 minutes with the King this week, if His Majesty had wanted to make time for me."
Prince Harry blown off by King Charles who is just too busy really sorry Haz08 May 202400:06:18
Yep, there's no way the King could possibly make any time for Prnce Harry.  Do you think the King eats meals? Do you think the King travels from place to place in cars?  There's no way whatsever that the King could meet up.  He's just that busy.

Meghan Markle being described as "Greedy." "A total joke" - is her podcast doomed?07 May 202400:07:31
Reports indicate that Meghan Markle's return to podcasting has encountered significant delays, sparking criticism within Hollywood circles.In an interview with In Touch, a source expressed concerns about Meghan's approach, stating, "Meghan gets greedy. She wants everything all at once, and it’s backfiring on her again. She’s become a total joke and is overplaying her hand."The source further elaborated on Lemonada Media's apprehensions, suggesting that Meghan's concurrent projects with Netflix could overshadow their podcast. "That clearly didn’t go down well with Lemonada,"  "They surely expected to be Meghan’s priority project, but she must have decided she had bigger fish to fry with Netflix."Meanwhile, another insider said,  "Hollywood is glam and glitz on the outside, but the real stars have worked hard for their success — and you get the impression hard work isn’t really Meghan’s thing," “Now, after all her failures, those A-listers — and the royals — are laughing at her!” 

Prince Harry is expected to fly into London today ahead of a service at St Paul's Cathedral to mark the tenth anniversary of his Invictus Games on Wednesday afternoon. However, it is unclear if he will meet with Charles, with reports suggesting there is no such meeting in the King’s calendar.His Majesty has official meetings on Wednesday morning followed by his expected appearance at the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the season. Straight afterwards he will meet with the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and hold his weekly Privy Council meeting.

Has cancer given us a new King Charles?04 May 202400:08:06
King Charles was seen in high spirits on Friday as he embraced his niece Zara Tindall at the Windsor Horse Show, marking his third royal engagement this week. Despite undergoing cancer treatment, the monarch appeared excited to resume his public duties, sporting a smart camel trench coat and brown suit despite the rainy weather.

According to palace sources, the King is "raring to go" and has "supercharged his diary" in anticipation of his return to public life. His presence at the horse show, a tradition he has taken over from his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, was met with enthusiasm as he engaged in light-hearted conversations and shared laughter with horse riders on the sidelines.

And as for those friends - some are notably NOT tweeting about the jam.

Also, Harry left the royals for this.

Prince Harry to visit UK alone, then join Meghan Markle in Nigeria30 Apr 202400:07:06
Prince Harry will indeed return to Britain in May to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.. Following the celebration, he will join his wife, Meghan, on a visit to Nigeria, according to his spokesperson.
On May 8, Harry will attend a service at St Paul's Cathedral in London to mark a decade of the Invictus Games, which have been credited with "changing lives and saving lives through sport." The service will feature readings by Harry and British actor Damian Lewis, with wounded veterans and members of the Invictus community also in attendance.

Following the anniversary celebration, Harry will be joined by Meghan,, on a trip to Nigeria. The couple has been invited by the country's chief of defence staff, its highest-ranking military official. No further details about the Nigeria visit have been disclosed.  Some reports went out of their way to point out Meghan would apparently rather fly 7800 miles by herself than join Harry at Invictus.

It is anticipated that no royals will attend the Invictus ceremony.  Royal sources believe Harry will stay in a hotel during his time in the UK.

Are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just bluffing all of this?29 Apr 202400:09:21
PR expert Mayah Riaz believes Meghan will likely continue to release jams.  Mayah told the Mirror: "I think we could see a range of limited edition jams, in a variety of flavours being launched.
Along with jams, honey, she may possibly even create sauces and pestos. Essentially items which are seen as luxury and would sit well in hampers. They would also be ideal items for gifting - if you can get your hands on them."
With Jamgate dominating the news, it begs the question: do Harry and Meghan not have much actually going on?
Royal expert Richard Kay has suggested that the recent flurry of project announcements by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, including a new podcast deal and the Duchess of Sussex's 'jamfluencer' roll out, are a 'diversion tactic' from the fact that 'probably not much is going on'.
King Charles will return to public duties28 Apr 202400:09:51
Buckingham Palace has issued a major update on King Charles' health, announcing that he is set to return to public-facing duties shortly after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis. The monarch has been receiving outpatient care since early February when it was revealed he had been diagnosed with an unspecified type of cancer.

To mark the promising development, the palace released a never-before-seen portrait of King Charles beaming at Queen Camilla, taken by photographer Millie Pilkington. The image was captured on April 10, the day after their 19th wedding anniversary, in the Buckingham Palace garden.

As part of his return to public duties, King Charles and Queen Camilla will visit a cancer treatment centre on Tuesday to meet with medical specialists and patients. The royal couple will also host the Emperor and Empress of Japan for a state visit to the UK in June.

Meghan Markle vs. Buckingham Palace - The Jam War Escalates! Kris Jenner an Chissy Teigen involved!26 Apr 202400:08:50
Chrissy Teigen recently showcased her support for Meghan Markle's American Riviera Orchard strawberry jam, seemingly in response to Buckingham Palace's alleged dig at the Duchess of Sussex. The palace had promoted its own variation of jarred jam just days after Markle sent out samples of her preserves to close friends.

On Wednesday, the Buckingham Palace Shop Instagram page received comments suggesting it had thrown "epic shade" at Meghan, after it uploaded an 18-second video showcasing four ways in which consumers could use their "strawberry preserve."


The Palace posted:  "Our Strawberry Preserve is made using only the finest berries and is delicious served in a variety of ways "Some of our favourite ways are shown here: On a scone as part of a cream tea. On a crumpet. With a croissant. On toast. How do you enjoy your strawberry preserve? Let us know in the comments!"

As the battle of the jams escalated, Chrissy Teigen prepared a delicious treat using Markle's fruit spread, captioning the post, "We jammin!!" The "Cravings" cookbook author combined rustic bread, salted butter, triple cream Brie, bacon, and Markle's exclusive preserves to create a sweet and savory sandwich. "This might have been one of the best bites we've had all year," Teigen gushed, sharing the treat with her husband, John Legend, and their kids.

Teigen and Markle, both former "Deal or No Deal" briefcase models, have been supportive of each other over the years. However, Teigen recently admitted that she and Legend have yet to go on a double date with the TV Cooking Show Host and the Spare.

Some social media users had warnings for Tiegan. One called the post “cringe”, another said  “It’s a jar of strawberry jam for goodness sake.  She’s only interested in you for publicity - please don’t fall for the narcissist’s absolutely typical behaviour

The show of support comes amid the controversy surrounding Buckingham Palace's promotion of its own strawberry preserve. The palace captioned a video, "Our Strawberry Preserve is made using only the finest berries and is delicious served in a variety of ways," leading many to believe it was a dig at Markle, who recently launched her new lifestyle brand.

Kris Jenner revealed Meghan gifted the Kardashians star one of her exclusive strawberry jam jars, as shared on Jenner's Instagram Story this week.


Jenner took to social media to showcase the thoughtful gift, which was numbered 13 out of just 50 jars sent to influential food enthusiasts. The hamper also included a beautiful set of homegrown lemons, adding a fresh and vibrant touch to the package.

A personalized white notecard featuring Kris Jenner's name in elegant calligraphy completed the thoughtful gift

An industry source previously told Page Six Style that Markle had been working on the brand for over a year, focusing on home, garden, food, and general lifestyle wares. 

Royal columnist Maureen Calahann told GB News "The only real thing that Meghan Markle and her husband have to merchandise is their connection to the Royal Family, it really is the singular point of interest for either of these people.  What's true, that we know, is that Harry and Meghan are now in a complete informational blackout. They have no idea what is going on with the health of Kate. They have really no idea, it seems, what's going on with the King so she has really nothing to offer."

Who was the Royal Orgy? Why is Meghan Markle's rescue dog hawking jam? Did Meghan not have podcast guests lined up?25 Apr 202400:09:51
The Daily Beast reports Even Meghan’s Dog Has Been Roped Into Selling Jam.
Per the Beast, Mamma Mia—a Beagle who was rescued from an animal testing facility with eight pups—was adopted by Meghan and her husband Prince Harry in 2022, joining their other rescue dog, Guy.

Meghan’s friend, the noted Jam Enthusiast Abigail Spencer has been   upstaged by photographs of Mamma Mia, nuzzling Spencer in the latest pictures. The presence of the dog playing with Spencer in what looks like a verdant garden suggests that the picture may have been taken at Meghan’s $14 million Montecito home.

Abigail Spencer’s long-lasting friendship with Meghan started back in 2007. 
Spencer recently recalled the moment, while guesting on the Kelly Clarkson show, saying, "I was doing a pilot for NBC, and I went to read with the people who were supposed to play my best friend. They were testing other actresses. I walk in, I see this beautiful gorgeous creature at the end of the table and I'm like, 'Who is that?' We had an immediate something, you know? And her name is Meghan Markle."

"It was just something between us. Our friendship really developed during that time, and deepened. She's an incredible person."
 

We asked our royal insider if they had received one of the 50 jars of Meghans jam.  Deep Crown told us:

"Well, well, well. I must say, I'm flattered that you would think I might be among the chosen few, but alas, my pantry remains sadly bereft of the Duchess's culinary creations.

. I imagine the list of recipients for Meghan's jam is a veritable who's who of the glitterati, carefully curated to maximize buzz and star power.

But really, is this what we've come to? Speculating about the distribution list for a batch of strawberry preserves? I know the royal news cycle can be a bit slow at times, but surely there must be more pressing matters to discuss than the contents of Meghan's kitchen.

We decided to ask Deep Crown about Rebel Wilson’s Royal Orgy story from yesterday.  They said, “"You know, there's an old saying in London: 'You hear a lot of things in this city, and some of them are even true.'”
This is certainly a juicy bit of gossip, isn't it? A wild party attended by a minor royal, complete with drugs, orgies, and all manner of debauchery. It's the kind of story that would have the tabloids salivating and the social set buzzing for weeks, but here we are talking about jam.

But you know, as salacious as these details are, I can't say I'm entirely surprised. The British aristocracy has a long and storied history of secret parties and illicit pleasures, dating back centuries. From the hedonistic excesses of the Hellfire Club in the 18th century to the drug-fueled soirées of the Swinging Sixties, there's always been a undercurrent of wild behavior bubbling just beneath the surface of polite society.

Of course, the royals themselves are no strangers to this kind of thing. Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon were notorious for their wild parties and bohemian lifestyle, and there have been plenty of other royals over the years who have been caught up in scandals involving drugs, sex, and other vices.

But the key word here is 'secret.' These kinds of parties and behaviors are rarely talked about openly, and when they do come to light, it's often in the form of rumor and innuendo, rather than hard facts. That's why it's so difficult to pin down the identity of the royal in question in this particular case - the aristocracy closes ranks around its own, and there's a powerful incentive to keep these kinds of stories under wraps.
Royal member in drug-fuelled orgy? Meghan Markle's podcast return delayed to 2025?24 Apr 202400:07:57
Rebel Wilson, in her memoir "Rebel Rising," has made a shocking claim that a member of the British Royal family invited her to a drug-fuelled orgy at the home of a US tech billionaire in 2014. Although she did not name the minor royal in question, Wilson provided details about the party and the events that transpired.

According to Wilson, she received a last-minute invitation to the party from a man who is "like fifteenth or twentieth in line to the British throne." The party, which had a medieval theme, took place at a rented ranch just outside Los Angeles. Wilson described the scene, saying, "Men were jousting on horses in a field, girls dressed as mermaids were in the pool ... The property was massive, and because it was quite a drive, people had been assigned rooms to sleep there overnight."

As the night progressed, Wilson recalled, "I watch the British royal flounder around whilst I continuously hike up my boobs ... There's a huge private fireworks display and then all of a sudden it's 2am and a guy comes out with a large tray piled with what looks like a ton of candy." When she inquired about the "candy," the man holding the tray informed her that it was actually "molly [MDMA]," and another person explained that it was for the orgy that typically starts around that time at such events.

Wilson realized that the comment made by the Windsor about needing more girls made more sense in this context. She wrote, "They weren't talking about a boy-girl ratio like it was a year-eight disco. They were talking about an ORGY!" Upon this realization, Wilson said, "Needless to say, I hike up my damsel dress and run out of there as fast as I can."



It has been revealed that Meghan Markle's new podcast will not be launching until 2025, as the TV Cooking Show Host has had to put her audio projects on hold to focus on her latest Netflix series, which will cover topics such as "cooking, gardening and friendship."

After her twenty five million dollar Spotify deal for 12 episodes was terminated following the controversial Archetypes podcast, Meghan entered into an agreement with US network Lemonada Media. However, producers at her new company have decided to delay the podcast's release to avoid "scheduling conflicts."
The launch of Meghan Markle's new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has been hindered by an Instagram copycat account selling "anti-monarchy" products. The account, @shopamericanrivieraorchard, has used the Duchess of Sussex's name and claims to be based in Montecito.

The copycat account has already garnered over 6,000 followers and is using Meghan's brand name to sell a small range of products with an anti-monarchy message. These products include a planner titled "RoyalWealth Reign: Empowering Women's Financial Sovereignty" and a booklet of colouring pages.

The homepage of the copycat account features a message referencing American Independence Day, July 4, 1776, and rejecting royal titles such as Prince, Princess, and Duchess. The message reads, "In America, we do not recognize a royal title by someone's name. In America, we believe ALL are created EQUAL. A royal title therefore has no significance. That is why the RoyalWealth Reign™ line was established to recognize and celebrate the working class who are the true heart of our country."

Nothing is by chance with Harry. He's kind of spiteful and he can't let go of the past.

Is Harry and Meghan's Colombia Tour just to create content?18 Aug 202400:09:01
Is the Faux Royal Tour just another attempt to create “content?”

The Express reported on an eye-witness claiming “[the Sussexes] have made sure that they have their own photographer present so that the images sent out are carefully selected,"  

"There is also a videographer capturing key moments so that videos can be sent out to the press, but there's also another camera crew filming their every move."
PR Expert Eric Schiffer told Newsweek "No one's going to care in the United States. "This is a snooze fest in the United States, and frankly it looks like a continued piece of evidence in the kind of whiny activities that the two do.

Meghan Markle's homemade jam gets mercilessly mocked19 Apr 202400:07:32
Harry's reaction to his wife's friendly kiss with his polo teammate has taken the internet by storm. The incident occurred during a trophy presentation at a polo event in Wellington, Florida, where the Royal Salute Sentebale team, led by Prince Harry, emerged victorious.

After the team's triumph, TV Cooking Show host Meghan Markle was there to celebrate and congratulate the players. She gave Harry an enthusiastic kiss while holding the trophy, but it was her affectionate gesture towards Sentebale team captain Malcolm Borwick that caught everyone's attention. Meghan kissed Borwick on both cheeks, a moment that was captured on video and quickly went viral.

In the clip, Prince Harry appeared to be visibly surprised by the interaction between his wife and teammate. The video showed Harry seemingly having words with Borwick, but later footage revealed that the exchange was light-hearted.

Despite the friendly nature of the interaction, social media users couldn't resist analyzing and commenting on the moment. One user remarked, "That shoulder roll said a lot!" 

Meghan  may have been snubbed by Prince Harry's close friend and fellow polo player, Nacho Figueras, following the recent charity polo event. 
Meghan and Figueras' wife, Delfina Blaquier, were seen cheering on their husbands during the event. However, when Nacho later posted photos from the day on his Instagram account, Meghan was noticeably absent from the two images he shared.

One photograph featured Figueras, his wife Blaquier, and their daughter, while the second showed Figueras and Harry standing with another man and woman who attended the event. The absence of Meghan from these photos did not go unnoticed by fans.

On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), one user pointed out the apparent snub, writing, "Nacho posted two pics of the awards ceremony. Who's missing?" Another commented, "Pictures really are worth 1,000 words,"

And there's Meghan's jam....
Prince Harry - the awkward resident of the United States18 Apr 202400:07:36
Royal Insider Deep Crown observed, “I've been observing Prince Harry's public appearances and demeanor closely over the past few years, and I can't help but notice a distinct pattern emerging.

When he's at these carefully staged events with Meghan, whether it's a red carpet gala or a charity function, there's a certain stiffness to him. A sense of unease, like he's not quite sure how to navigate this new world he finds himself in. The smile doesn't quite reach his eyes, the laughter seems a bit forced. It's as if he's playing a role, one that doesn't come naturally to him.
But then, every once in a while, we catch a glimpse of the old Harry. The cheeky, irreverent prince who wore his heart on his sleeve and never took himself too seriously. It's usually when he's out with his old friends, the ones who knew him long before he became the Duke of Sussex. There's a lightness to him in those moments, a sense of ease and camaraderie that's been missing from his public persona of late.
Meghan is rarely, if ever, present during those candid moments. It's as if Harry can only truly be himself when he's away from the pressures and expectations of his new life. When he's just 'one of the lads,' free to let loose and enjoy himself without worrying about how it will be perceived by the media or the public.

It's a telling dichotomy, and one that speaks volumes about the challenges Harry has faced in adapting to his new reality. He's a man torn between two worlds, struggling to find his place and his purpose. On the one hand, he's committed to his wife and the life they've built together, but on the other, there's a part of him that yearns for the simplicity and freedom of his old existence.
Perhaps in time, Harry will find a way to reconcile these two aspects of himself. To be the devoted husband and father, the compassionate activist and philanthropist, while also holding onto the essence of who he's always been - the fun-loving, mischievous prince who captured the hearts of so many. But for now, it seems he's still grappling with that duality, and it's a struggle that plays out in the public eye, for all the world to see.

Meghan recently announced her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, on social media. However, The Independent discovered that the UK website domain for the brand surprisingly leads to a foodbank instead of the expected lifestyle website.
The '.com' website leads to a stylized page introducing Meghan's brand and features a waiting list for interested individuals to join.
Curiously, the '.uk' domain for American Riviera Orchard directs visitors to a landing page for the Trussell Trust, a foodbank charity, and subsequently to a fundraiser. This unexpected redirection has raised questions about the brand's UK website and its connection to the charity.
 
Harry has officially changed his country of residence from the United Kingdom to the United States in paperwork related toTravalyst. 

For the past four years, Harry had continued to list his country of residence as the U.K. in the documentation confirming his status as a "person with significant control" over Travalyst, holding 75 percent or more of the shares and voting rights. However, a recent filing at Britain's Companies House, seen by Newsweek, stated: "New Country/State Usually Resident: UNITED STATES."
The change was made on June 29, 2023, the same day Buckingham Palace publicly confirmed that Harry and Meghan had officially moved out of Frogmore Cottage. The eviction notice was sent to the couple in January 2023, just days after the publication of Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare," which made numerous allegations against the royal family.
 
Meghan and Harry recently experienced an "awkward" moment on camera during an event in Miami. The incident occurred when Meghan presented Harry with an award and then posed for a photo shoot with the Duke and others, which was captured by the couple's Netflix cameras for an upcoming show.
TV Cooking Show Host Meghan Markle teases limited edition jam17 Apr 202400:07:40
TV Cooking Host Meghan Markle was set to begin taping her new series on Tuesday. The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden reported “I can disclose that the programme will not be filmed at the home she shares with Prince Harry. 
Instead, the series – which will, according to the American streaming giant, ‘celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship’ – is to be shot at another property in their expensive California neighbourhood.
‘Netflix has rented a house in Montecito for filming,’ 

Talk TV’s Alex Phillips said, "I actually think that no one is going to watch them. Meghan standing in a kitchen, saying, 'Look how wonderful I am'. Nobody wants that."

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Talk TV, “I think people really dislike Meghan Markle and it must absolutely destroy her or you wouldn’t see her fighting so hard to be relevant.”

“I believe that this is a real PR push for Meghan Markle, even in the descriptions of these shows — cooking, gardening, entertainment and friendship — give me a barf bag.”

“When you share the article on Deadline, the headline is ‘Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is launching two Netflix shows,” there’s no mention of Harry.”
“If you look at Deadline’s Facebook page, there’s no mention of Harry in the description.”

Royal commentator Michael Cole told GB News: "Prince Harry and his lovely wife are going to have to start singing for their supper. They've got a five-year contract worth $100million with Netflix. Netflix wants their pound of flesh. So she's going to be doing a lifestyle and cookery streaming service.

"He's going to do a program all about polo. Not water polo, but polo with ponies on horseback, except for ocean-going racing in yachts which was once described as standing under a cold shower, ripping up £550 notes, must be the most expensive sport and hobby in the world."


Meanwhile, the very first look at Meghan Markle's new business venture, American Riviera Orchard, has arrived as her close celebrity friends are busy trying out products from her new lifestyle brand.

The sneak peek came after Meghan's pals Delfina Blacquier and Tracey Robbins posted photos of the items they had been sent by Meghan on social media, sending fans into a frenzy. As the Duchess teases the upcoming products, here's everything we know about Meghan's brand new venture so far.
Meghan's close friend Delfina posted a photo of strawberries scattered across a plate next to a piece of jam on toast on her Instagram story, before showing an up-close shot of the first products we have seen from Meghan's new business: jars of strawberry jam with kitsch packaging.

Delfina wrote in her post: "Strawberry jam makes me happy. And I love your jam," and tagged the official account of American Riviera Orchard.
Fashion designer Tracey Robbins also posted a first look at Meghan's product on her story, writing: "Thank you so much for this delicious basket! I absolutely love this jam so I'm not sharing it with anyone." The designer added, "Thank you M!" and said "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner just got a little sweeter."

Each of the delicately designed jars had a number on it - Tracey's was 17/50 and Delfina's was 10/50 - showing that this was likely a limited edition drop.
As yet, there has been no date announced for when you will be able to get your hands on Meghan's jam - or any other products she may launch. However, by visiting America Riviera Orchard's website, anyone eager to be the first in the know when products become available to buy can sign up to the company's waitlist.

Royal Insider Deep Crown commented, “it's a far cry from the life of a working royal, isn't it?

I must say, I'm not entirely surprised by the decision to film the series at a rented property rather than the Sussexes' own home. Meghan has always been fiercely protective of her privacy, and the idea of inviting cameras into her personal space may have been a bridge too far. It's a smart move, really - it allows her to maintain some semblance of boundaries while still capitalizing on her celebrity status.

As for the American Riviera Orchard venture, the branding is certainly on point - the kitsch packaging, the focus on wholesome, organic ingredients. It's all very 'Meghan,' if you know what I mean. 

But I can't help but wonder what the late Queen Elizabeth would have made of all this. The idea of a member of the royal family shilling strawberry jam and hosting a cooking show would have been unthinkable in her day. The monarchy has always been about duty, service, and maintaining a certain level of decorum. Seeing her grandson's wife pivot to a career as a lifestyle entrepreneur would have likely been a bit jarring.
