Meghan Markle Rides Oprah’s Favorite Things While Her Holiday Trailer Gets Grinched over C-Word

Meghan scores a Black Friday marketing victory: her As Ever “legally fruit spreads” land on Oprah’s Favorite Things list, with a glowing endorsement about Meghan’s homemade recipes and a $42 gift box of marmalade, raspberry, and exclusive strawberry. But as her team celebrates, the trailer for her upcoming Netflix holiday special is taking a beating in the press.The Telegraph calls the preview “as joyless as coal in your stocking,” accusing Meghan of trying to eclipse the Waleses and refusing to say “Christmas” even while selling Christmas content. Deep Crown notes the irony of capitalizing on a holiday she can’t bring herself to mention.

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Today is a major shopping day in America and a great time to load up on Oprah's Favorite Things, which includes Megan Markle's lifestyle brand as Ever. Subscribers to the brand received an email announcing the news. In the message, the as Ever content team wrote, We're over the moon to spread the news. Our signature fruit spread gift boxes on Oprah's Favorite Things this year. The forty two dollars stick that Your Fruit Spread gift box contains a collection of three beloved spreads, delicately sweet and versatile Orange Marmalade, our best selling raspberry spread, and their brand new Strawberry. This much anticipated flavor is exclusive to the holiday sets and one of Megan's favorite legally fruit spreads and not jammed to make it home. Each legally Fruit spread is inspired by the jams Meghan is created your own kitchen and shared over the years. Bright just a bit tart with a whisper of lemon to bring out the fullness of the flavor, and three spreads are crafted to highlight each fruit's natural essence. Megan's mailer added that, as Oprah says on Oprah Daily dot com, before my neighbor Megan started her business, she shared her homemade recipes with us, I love to drizzle it on an English muffin or yogurt or ice cream. I also loved bringing jam Or Preserves as a hostess gift and with this pretty box set of range marmalade, raspberry and

1:33 strawberry spread. Just at a bow and you're ready to go. The team went on to say, We're honored to be included in this season's Quintessential Guide to Gifting. So much love is poured into each recipe to bring the brightness and warmth of the garden to your home in every season. By the way, I get to have a taste test of Meghan's rose last week and I will post that video on Facebook next week. The Telegraph Judith Woods riots Meghan's Christmas special is as joyless as call in your stocking Right on cue. As the Prince and Princess Wales made their glittering entrance at the Royal Variety Show, Meghan, Duchess of Montecito, frantically attempted to upstage them with a bizarre tradwife routine worthy of Stepford. The Royal Variety Show is a big deal, the bona fide highlight of the charity calendar in the diary for months, and yet that was the moment when the new trailer for Meghan's Netflix Festive special dropped clear the schedules. People with love meghan holiday celebration is hurtling towards us like an icing sugar exercet missile. Brace yourselves. Next month she'll be flogging us mulled wine, spices, own label fears and above all herself as ever Meghan. As you might say, but what a coincidence. Again, it's extraordinary just how frequently Team Sussex events seem to clash with Team Wales's appearances. Indeed, Meghan's launch of his short lived American riviera orchard Uncle Tom Cobb an all brand, took place on the same day William was due to

3:04 speak at his late mother's Legacy Award event. Talk about synchronicity, or maybe on reflections, there's another less neutral word to describe it. But timing aside, Megan's tone deaf audacity has reached new heights. In fact, there was something freshly, brazenly breathtaking about the trailer, pedaling her wearisomely woke happy Holidays stick. At no point did the seaword cross her lips, Not when she was lacking about in the Christmas tree, not when she was calling together at Christmas wreath from hedge clippings and desperation, not even when she was laying out elaborate cookies for Father Christmas. Incidentally, Harry makes a cameo appearance in the trailer, blamelessly eating cereal. There he is zoned out and gazing into the balls. She performatively sachet's over to kiss her husband. It barely registers with him, and it's just about the most authentic moment in the whole film. As for the sea word, our royal inside a deep crown shared. His majesty takes his role as head of the Anglican Church with considerable seriousness. It's not merely ceremonial pageantry, but a sacred duty he inherited along with the Crown to studiously avoid Christmas whilst trading on one's proximity to the monarchy, strikes one as having rather carefully considered which elements of royal heritage prove profitable and which might be inconvenient. One can be ecumenical and respectful of all faiths without airbrushing the particular faith that forms the constitutional bedrock of one's own family. But then, consistency has never been the strongest suit, has it. Megan's holiday

4:37 special was not filmed at the Duchess's own Montecito home. Instead, the Netflix production takes place in a rented mansion roughly two miles from their residence. Meghan has previously explained her reasoning, telling people, I wanted to protect that safe haven where a close knit family and I love these moments, putting Lily down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together. At the end of the day. Kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family. And with a crew of eighty plus people, that's a lot of people to have in your house. More palace, just a moment. Selfridges has unveiled its new royal themed Christmas decorations, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markel are noticeably absent. The retailer's festive range features glass Boble's model on King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Catherine, even the late Diana Princess of Wales. However, there are no ornaments of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a reflection of their departure from royal life five years ago.

5:35 The omissions extend beyond Harriet Meghan, where Princess Anne, Prince Edward and the Duchess of Edinburgh also missing from the lineup. Each borble, depicting only the bust of the royal and measuring around ten centimeters, is made from glass and price between thirty eight and forty pounds. The collection has sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising the designs while others question the choices. Selfridges continues to the decorations of the Lake Queen Elizabeth, which remained part of the range. The Greven Waxwork Museum in Paris has added a new headline making figure to its collection, Princess Diana, depicted in the now iconic revenge dress she wore in the night the World learned of then Prince Charles infidelity. The museum, often compared to London's Madame Tussau's, already features models of King Charles the Third and the Lake Queen Elizabeth. Until now, however, Diana herself had been conspicuously absent, despite her enduring connection to the city where she died in August of ninety seven.

6:35 Her newly unveiled likeness appears in a recreation of the black off the shoulder Christina Stambolian gown she chose for a public engagement in nineteen ninety four, a moment that unfolded as the breakdown of her marriage dominated international coverage. Diana wore the dress on the very day a televised interview aired in which Charles admitted to being unfaithful in announcing the statue. The Greven Museum noted, more more than twenty eight years after her tragic death in Paris, Diana is still a major figure in global pop culture, celebrated for her style, humanity and independence. The date of the unveiling was itself appointed choice, marking thirty years to the day since her explosive BBC interview in which she observed, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a little bit crowded. I remark widely understood to reference Camilla Parker Bowles, whom the King later married. The cast of Peep Show will reunite for the first time in a decade in a special Christmas edition of The Great British Baykoff. David Mitchell, Olivia Coleman, Azi Suddy, Matt King, and Sophie Winkerman, who is married into the royal family as Lady Frederick Windsor, will take part in this year's festive episode, marking their first on screen appearances together since the sitcom ended in twenty fifteen. They'll face seasonal baking challenges judged by Prude Leath and Paul Hollywood, with nol fielding and Allison Hammond hosting. Web, who co led the series with Mitchell, is not included in the lineup. Channel four will air these special during the Christmas period, with

8:07 the exact date still to be announced. Peep Show, which ran for nine seasons, remains a cult favorite things to its point of view, filming style and internal monologues.
