Meghan’s Netflix series renewed for second season despite terrible reviews
New episodes will be shown in the autumn even though critics labelled Duchess of Sussex ‘bland’
No one’s asked Harry for a followup to his book, have they?
The decision will inevitably raise questions about his finances – the settlement was an eight-figure sum, we are told.
Ah.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have accused Meta of normalising hate speech over a change in its fact-checking policy that came days after Meghan rejoined social media.
The Sussexes, speaking through their foundation, said the new policy should “deeply concern us all”, serving to “directly undermine free speech” and showing that the company’s commitments have “very little meaning or integrity”.
In a 631-word statement published on the website of the Office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they accused the platform of “once again abandon[ing] public safety in favor of profit, chaos, and control”.
Typically confused. Meta relaxes control and this is seen as imposing it. Sigh.
But for any on the fence this of course clears matters up. They’re agin the changes – all sensible people are therefore in facour of them.
The member of staff employed by Rory Campbell to place bets has not been paid since January, according to an investor in his fund.
Erm:
“The only person who knows these bets were placed is Rory, who employed a bet placer, who we now believe wasn’t being paid from January onwards.
“We are unsure if many of the bets were being placed in the second half of last season.”
Now, that’s a claim, not a fact. But.
Earl Spencer took ‘long-term mistress’ before marriage ended, says Countess
Countess Karen Spencer has accused her estranged husband of ‘likely’ having an affair with a Norwegian archaeologist since 2021
Third wife complains about inconstant Earl.
Oh Aye?
Detained rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, already facing more than 30 civil complaints alongside federal racketeering conspiracy charges, has been hit with a claim from a former “personal lackey” who claims he was forced to clean up after Comb’s “Wild King Nights” parties were finished.
Who doesn’t deserve compensation for having been a cleaner?
A business partner of the suspected Chinese spy won the Duke of York’s startup competition, raising questions about the legitimacy of the project.
The Chinese businessman, who has mixed with figures from across the British establishment, was a founding member of the Duke’s venture Pitch@Palace China.
The Duke is understood to have benefited financially from the scheme thanks to a clause that allowed him to take a 2 per cent cut of investment deals.
The revelation puts pressure on the Duke to reveal how much he earned from the Dragons’ Den-style partnership and whether any other money changed hands.
Earlier this year it emerged that he now privately funds his home and security, but the source of the funding is not known.
He’d need to have brokered some monster deals at that 2% to produce the cash necessary for that lifestyle. £ billion and upwards sort of level. I think it unlikely….
Give next-generation royals an opt-out clause
We should offer heirs and spares an early choice: sign up as a working royal or live a normal life without titles or palaces
Marry a Catholic and the job’s done.
A certain royal Duke has been, allegedly, receiving payments from China. Poss from the Chinese government.
OK.
And the fuss is?
Does anyone think this specific royal Duke is allowed near anything important here? And so knows or influences anything important here? There’s also the point that foreign taxpoayers supporting him means domestic don’t have to…..
Buckingham Palace will investigate following reports a Palace maid was arrested after a Christmas party on Tuesday.
The Sun reported the 24-year-old woman was arrested at All Bar One in Victoria Street after 9pm.
Police told The Sun officers had been called to a bar in Victoria Street after reports a customer had “smashed glasses and attempted to assault a member of staff”.
So, not actually having a snifter ’round the back with a Guardsman then….
The Metropolitan police revealed the names of alleged victims of the Westminster “honeytrap” scandal in an accidentally sent email, it has emerged.
A police officer emailed some alleged victims updating them on the case, which is due to be heard in court, but inadvertently revealed their names and contact details to each other.
The police are investigating a case of someone who posed as a person called Charlie or Abi who tried to get information out of about 20 people, including MPs, parliamentary staff and political journalists.
So they’re handing out free sex in order to gain information from important people.
You’re not offered any free sex.
You are not important.
It’s a corollary with fame. The famous get groupies. You’ve not got groupies? You’re not famous – QED.
Prince Harry and Meghan ‘buy new property in Portugal’
the coastal town of Melides
Worringly, that’s only 100km or so away.
The BBC has been forced to cancel a Laura Kuenssberg interview with Boris Johnson after she sent him her briefing notes “by mistake”.
Kuenssberg was due to meet the former Prime Minister for an interview to be broadcast on BBC One on Thursday night.
But in a statement on X, she announced: “While prepping to interview Boris Johnson tomorrow, by mistake I sent our briefing notes to him in a message meant for my team. That obviously means it’s not right for the interview to go ahead.
“It’s very frustrating, and there’s no point pretending it’s anything other than embarrassing and disappointing, as there are plenty of important questions to be asked. But red faces aside, honesty is the best policy. See you on Sunday.”
What’s wrong with the interviewee seeing the briefing notes? You weren’t, say, going to try to ambush him, were you?
Phillip Schofield has claimed that he was sacked by ITV because his brother is a paedophile.
In the final episode of Channel 5’s Phillip Schofield: Cast Away, the 62-year-old claims he was “fired for the bad publicity for someone else’s crime”.
Personal responsibility is so last century, don’t you think?
Phillip Schofield has blamed homophobia for the scandal that ended his career, saying he would have received a pat on the back for having an affair with a woman.
Schofield was forced to quit his job on ITV’s This Morning when it emerged he had lied about a relationship with a runner who was more than 30 years his junior.
Given the me too stuff it’s entirely possible that the shrieksof outrage would have been worse. 30 years younger, you in a position of power over them at work?
It’s probably not the dick on dick action you know….
When he was 18, the Duke of Sussex vowed to finish the work started by his mother, Princess Diana.
More than two decades on, he remains true to his word. On Monday, he will take to the stage before a global audience to champion two causes intrinsically linked to her legacy: landmines and young people.
Prince Harry, 40, will be the star guest at five high-profile events held over two days in New York during UN General Assembly High-Level Week and Climate Week, which will also see him focus on conservation, sustainable travel and the many crises facing the tiny African country of Lesotho.
Still, guess that’s 5 new outfits the Meg gets out of it.
