EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Meghan Markle faces a tricky lifestyle brand launch as Netflix won’t air her cooking show until 2025

Netflix has exacerbated Meghan Markle's global trademark problems

Meghan’s global struggles with her American Riviera Orchard jam brand have been exacerbated by Netflix.

The launch of the jam is closely linked to a cooking show already recorded for Netflix, which does not seem to be in a hurry to broadcast it.

It is expected to go on sale in mid-2025. Will we also see their new range of dog treats?

When she unveiled it on the same day Kate attended Trooping the Colour (her first public appearance this year), the Princess of Wales won the battle for headlines. One footman referred to Meghan as the pedigree fool.

Emmanuel Macron’s spending of just over £400,000 on a banquet for King Charles’s state visit is reported to have horrified the late Queen.

The famously frugal monarch had reduced her eight-course banquets to four, and for Barack Obama in 2011, she eliminated soup, reducing it to three.

Instead, she dazzled her guests with George IV gold and silver tableware, pudding served in an 1877 Queen Victoria Minton and fruit in a hand-painted George III Tournai.

Prince Andrew worried about the palace’s budget for replacing missing spoons and often hid in a corner during receptions to spot the wrongdoers. And sometimes he asked the Master of the Royal Household’s department for a report on the losses.

A former member whispers that teaspoons, napkins, cutlery in general, butter dishes, sugar tongs, glasses and, in the past, ashtrays periodically disappeared.

In fact, anything that can be quickly and easily hidden in a pocket, purse or handbag… and avoid the eagle eye of the Duke of York!

While relaxing at her West Sussex beach hut, Kate Winslet is accosted by a passing professor who struggles to identify her.

“I’ll give you a hint,” Winslet offers. “I worked on a movie about a boat.”

“Bridget Jones!” the tutor exclaims triumphantly.

Kate Winslet was approached by a passing teacher who had difficulty identifying her.

Former Match Of The Day presenter Des Lynam, 81, recalls his first BBC salary of £2,030 a year in 1969 and answers Radio Times’ question whether his successor Gary Lineker is worth £1.3m a year.

“I don’t think you can justify it in terms of what a nurse or a firefighter does, but it’s the market,” he says.

“You can’t say that someone who says a few words on a television screen is worth more than someone who saves lives, but money is what rules. He’s a very lucky guy.”

The closing credits of the BBC’s Paris Olympics final extravaganza contained more names than a Ben-Hur-style Hollywood blockbuster, prompting questions about how much the coverage cost.

Certainly more than the BBC paid the International Olympic Committee for the 1948 London Games. The corporation offered £1,000, but the IOC allowed the cameras in for free.
