Meghan Markle named Villain of the Year

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media All and welcome the Palace Entry Game, your host, Mark Francis. Megan Markel has been labeled a Villain of the Year by a Los Angeles boutique that has also branded her a Montecito Diva. According to The Daily Mail, the Duchess of Sussex appears in so called Rogue's Gallery of Holiday Hypocrites and the Christmas window display at Kitson, a high end department store on Robertson Boulevard between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. Kitson's Holiday Hypocrisy window display, which began in twenty twenty, has become a familiar seasonal feature in the city. This year, Meghan has been included alongside California Governor Gavin Newsoon, George Clooney, and Katie Perry.

0:49 Her image appears on a mocked up magazine cover featuring public figures and Santa hats, with the Duchess's hat emblazoned with the words Montecito Diva. The display reference her Netflix series and business ventures, with headlines claiming she and Prince Harry were the most unpopular kids in school because they are disliked by Americans. Another highlights that her as Ever jam is made in a factory two thousand miles from her home, while another claims she broke a no dog's rule at Montecito Farmer's Market. There is also a nod to a recent Harper's Bizarre feature describing how she was introduced like royalty to a room containing a single person, her decision to wear eighty two thousand dollars of jewelry, and her Netflix holiday specialists also cited one headline alleges she is a hypocrite because she won't let go of her royal status. It is not the first time Kitson has targeted the Royals. Following mexit, the shop encouraged customers to choose sides in the family split, reviving its team t shirt concept first popularized during the Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt break up in two thousand and five. Kitson offered Team Harry and Meghan and Team William and Kate shirts priced at thirty eight dollars. Store owner Fraser Rostol the Daily Mail. It started out with customers asking this if we had anything related to the young Royals. They would go on to say why they favored one couple over the other. There were literally people arguing on the floor with each other about it. I knew it was time to bring back the infamous team shirts. We have a large customer base, so it's a good barometer to

2:20 see who is more popular at the moment. The shirts quickly became a talking point, with one woman reportedly buying eight of each to allow party guests to choose their allegiance. As of March, Ross said, the balance is clear. They're out selling Meghan and Harry two to one, just like Team Aniston shirts did double the sales of Team Joe Lee. He explained, we got the shirts in shortly before Mexitt was announced, so it was pretty equal at the beginning, but post mexit it sent the Cambridge's surging way ahead of the Sussexes. The review of Meghan's holiday special by Hillary Rose and The Times is truly epic. Rose writes, we learned that red is a fist of color, and that if you don't like cheese or pepper, you might not like a dish consisting of cheese and pepper. Being a hostess in Montecito is as you'd expect, not so much about topping up glasses but making people feel seen.

3:13 Is this because our hostess has basically never before seen half the friends who appear on the show. The tennis player Naomi Ohsaka is told that running around after one's children is soul filling. She looks politely baffled. The point of all this, I realize, isn't interest or enlightenment, let alone entertainment. It's one upmanship. Osaka is sat down in front of some china and told to paint it. She is, I'm very good at it because she is a tennis player. Happily, little miss Crafty herself Megan Duchess of Sussexes she never ceases to call herself is Naomi looks down sadly at her crappy plate and nods. A chef is invited on the show to share his traditional Christmas family recipes. These unfortunately included beetroot salad. Beetroot being incompatible with Megan's cash me in neutrals instead, she observes proceedings from a safe distance and chuckling says the salad has all the things her husband hates most, literally all of them. She searches for a compliment herself, but can only come up with festive it's just so wild, she adds, by way of consolation, to think about preserving techniques. Harry himself then makes an appearance to confirm that yes, he really would hate it.

4:23 The chef stands there, looking either deflated or seen, depending on whether you're Megan. Count Tom Sykes among those who think the inclusion of Guy the Beagle shows that Netflix is done with Megan. In the Royalist Sykes rights, the message is we are done, and the medium is a passing shot of her elderly beagle, Guy padding mournfully through the frame like a ghost of contracts passed. Guy you see died last year. This means that this holiday special, which has been touted by Megan as evidence of her strong and productive ongoing relationship with Netflix, was filmed at the same time as series one, long before the couple were brutally released from their Megabucks contract in favor of a first refusal clause. Meghan, for example, insists that a Christmas tree is an opportunity to honor one's family history, seeming to have forgotten that she has spent years erasing half of hers while urging her husband to amputate all of his. The dog does nothing for the narrative. It adds no warmth, no insight, no purpose. Any editor could have lifted it out in seconds. That they did not is the real revelation. It is Netflix's way of saying this content tap has run dry. In the show's dying minutes, Harry arrives, Meghan turns to him and says, with baffling formality, thanks for coming. It is the kind of thing you say to a neighbor who popped by for ten minutes, not to a husband who lives in the house. It lands like a freudiant slip, a moment in which the performance forgets itself and the audience glimpses the shaky scaffolding underneath.

5:48 The relationship looks staged, almost as if they are guest stars in each other's lives, united by mutual branding obligations rather than shared domestic instinct. With Love Meghan has opened to a rare zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The score is based on five published critics reviews, and the reception has been notably unflattering. Assessments ranged from comparisons to Stepford Wives to suggest Assessments ranged from comparisons to Stepford Wives to suggestions that the program felt a little bit sad, with others describing the specialist carrying manic energy. Audiences were similarly unimpressed, awarding the series just thirteen percent among more than one hundred posted ratings. Some viewers dismissed the program as boring, while others simply branded it very inauthentic more Pallas.

6:40 In just a moment, we received a new review. It's like tea time I must every day. I look forward to hearing the show every day, A much needed and welcome break from the crazy world we live in. Thank you Mark for keeping me informed on what really matters. Five stars. No name attached, but thank you very much for the review, and we really appreciate your nice reviews of the show. Princess Beatrice's infant daughter, Athena, is expected to be christened on Friday, and reports suggest the occasion may bring an uncomfortable reunion within the wider royal family. According to The Daily Mail, Beatrice has invited both her parents, the former Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, to attend the ceremony at the Chapel Royal at Saint James ballas it would mark their first appearance at a family event since the King removed Andrew's royal titles and honors, The prospect of seeing Andrew at such a gathering has prompted concern among some relatives and courtiers. One source was quoted as saying, it's going to be a royal occasion, but everyone is dreading the thought of seeing Andrew there. Although Friday's christening is expected to be private, it will nonetheless place Andrew and Sarah alongside members of the royal family for the first time since the Duchess of Kent's funeral in September.

7:58 Another source suggested the moments may carry added weight, noting it could be possibly the last time he steps foot in Saint James Chapel. King Charles is understood to have been invited, but is not expected to be present. The Prince and Princess of Wales are likewise not anticipated to attend. Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack has revealed that a strict royal family naming rule prevented him from including his father's famous nickname on the late musician's death certificate. Jack explained on his Trying Not to Die podcasts that while completing the paperwork, he and his sister Kelly initially listed Ozzy's occupation as rock Legend, songwriter and performer. Jack then asked whether he could add rock God, but the registrar declined. He next suggested Ozzie's well known moniker Prince of Darkness, but this was also rejected because the word prince is reserved for members of the royal family and cannot be used as a title on official documents. Jack said he ultimately settled on rock Legend, which he felt was an appropriate reflection of his father's career. And there you have it.
