Meghan Markle’s Jam Flops as Prince Harry Plays Bodyguard at Kris Jenner’s 007 Bash

Not even Oprah’s magic touch could save Meghan Markle’s $42 jam — sales remain flat despite a “Favorite Things” shoutout. As Meghan returns to acting, critics call her cameo “a vanity project,” while Harry played personal security at Kris Jenner’s Bond-themed birthday. One columnist calls Jenner “the mother of everything wrong with planet Earth,” and another says Harry looks like a man realizing he traded the army for aisle six at Erewhon.

Meanwhile, Mike Tindall says he’s ready to join The Traitors — because apparently everyone royal is auditioning for reality TV now.

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media head long and welcome to Palace inturg Game, your host, Mark Francis. It seems even Oprah Winfrey couldn't rescue Meghan Markles as ever jam. According to Rob Shooter's hashtag Shooter Scoop, Oprah quietly included the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle brand in her twenty twenty five Favorite Things list, a movement to lend the struggling line a bit of old fashioned Oprah magic, but insiders say the endorsement barely made a dent. This was a favor, not a phenomenon, one retail source told the outlet, adding bluntly, there was no demand. Some wonder if Meghan's return to acting will create more friction between the royal camps. Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty magazine, says the royal family's fractured dynamic, particularly between Prince William and Prince Harry, remains unresolved, with little sign of Reconciliation's decision to re enter Hollywood, she says, may only widen that rift. Royal commentator Hilary Fordage described the cameo as a vanity project for a duchess, in need of a reinvention. She has to make a pragmatic pivot given the rock bottom position she's in polling wise, Fortage told Fox News Digital Hollywood hasn't embraced her, and it's highly doubtful the UK audiences or the Royal family will care about this latest move. They're probably just relieved she's not attacking them. But others believe Buckingham Palace has taken notice, particularly given the timing. Royal expert Kinsey Chofield

1:35 noted that Meghan's onset photos appeared just as Prince William was in Brazil for his Earthshot Prize ceremony. Meghan drawing headlines away from William's high profile event will not go unnoticed, she said. The Sussexes have the habit of re emerging during William's major moments, and his team's acutely aware of it. The Palace declined to comment, but inside to say the overlap was eyebrow raising. Some in royal circles see it as a pattern, while others insisted was coincidental. Supporters frame the role as a creative homecoming, Critics call it a calculated pr move. Public relations strategist Doug Ridge believes it's smart branding in an ideal while she'd play in over the top version of herself, a little self aware, a little satirical, he said that would show humility and self awareness while giving a wink to the fans and critics alike. Still, Royal experts caution that overexposure could backfire. There is an undeniable oversaturation of Megan in twenty twenty five. Too much visibility, too little substance, said Schofield. She either needs to anchor herself in a clear purpose or risk fatigue. Crew members told Schooda Scoop that Megan was a total pro zero diva, noting that she reintroduced herself to everyone from grips to lighting.

2:51 One insider added she was just cool, really relaxed, chatting with the crew between takes, laughing, taking directions, no fuss at all. And insider told People magazine that Megan genuinely seemed excited to be on set, adding she was joking that she felt a bit rusty, but it was obvious that she had rehearsed and that it was a big deal for her to be back, and she was great. The source said, Meghan introduced herself simply as Meghan and was very sweet and calm, adding that she had a very warm energy and was super pleasant to be around. Another source described her as the opposite of what people might expect now entourage, no ego. She fit right in a studio. Inside had previously told the son that the project was a massive moment for Megan. It's her way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set, they said, adding that Prince Harry is really supportive and just wants Meghan to do whatever brings her joy. After years of saying she was done with Hollywood, Meghan's return to acting, complete with a few well rehearsed lines and the touch of rust, marks the start of a new chapter that feels, as one insider put it, very full circle. In the end, and Lydia Spencer Elliott writes about Meghan's acting comeback. She tells us Marco has been swamped with offers to get back in front of the camera, but this one, perhaps the easiest role of all time, felt right. It is Meghan's way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set.

4:15 They explained, adding everyone was super excited and sworn to secrecy. Spencer Elliott wonders could playing herself fix a floundering reputation Somehow, it seems unlikely for Markle to play herself now feels more than a little overly safe and misguided. There's always something decidedly cringe about an a lister who cameos as their own famous face in a film. Donald Trump in Home Alone, Alpucino and Jack and Jill, Katie Perry and Zoolander too, to give a few examples. Yet, perhaps the true reason Michael can only play herself is that she has such a domineering personal brand thanks to all this Netflix hullor beloo, that it's too difficult for her to believably play anybody else without severe amounts of special effects, makeup or some kind of elaborate costume. Still, if we are to believe what sources say to people, Markel, who has been put through the ringer quite enough in the past decade, is very relaxed and happy about her small part. Maybe, after all the criticism and the disparaging reviews, taking a creative risk felt just a little too scary. Sometimes it's better the devil, you know, even if that is yourself.

5:21 The often miserable looking Prince Harry appeared to take on the role of Megan Michael's personal bodyguard as a couple made their entrance at Chris Janner's lavish Double O seven themed seventieth birthday party last week and Beverly Hills. According to body language expert Judy James, James told The Daily Mail in star terms, this reflects her return to the big screen as an actress, while he seems to be back in spare mode. Here. She noted that Harry's posture mirrored that of Taylor Smiff's fiancee, Travis Kelcey. Harry's expressionless mode directs the attention to his wife. Here, his outstretched arm held behind him suggests muscle power, while his hand grips Meghan's in a big, poor Travis style grasp that speaks of desire to protect as they go past the press.

6:07 In The Express, Paul Baldwin writes, like every sane human being with even an ounce of self respect, I cannot dredge up one atom of my being to give a monkey's cuss about who Chris Jenna is. I don't even know if it's a boy or a girl or someone cynically monetizing that indeterminate and increasingly annoying space in between. But Prince Harry, who is still one of our most senior royals, and whether he likes it or not, a very high profile representative of Britain to the rest of the world. Him I do care about. And Harry went to Chris's party, so I had to clear up who Chris Jenna is. Turns out she's the mom of Kim Kardashian, which sort of makes her the mother of everything wrong with planet Earth. In twenty twenty five, Encapsulated in human Form, Baldwin mentioned how unhappy Harry looked, and adds he looked like a man who was sulking, and he looked like a man who was troubled. And maybe the reason, just maybe, is that Harry is finally realizing the utter vacuity of the choices he has made of the world he now inhabits.

7:04 The only part of Harry's wretched autobiography Spare, which displayed any authenticity was when he was talking about his time in the forces and serving his country very bravely. It has to be said. In Afghanistan that's our Harry, if you ask me not. The jam selling optional extra to a beeless actress on the Make More Palace In Just a Moment, Former rugby star and Royal Family member Mike Tindall says he's ready to take on the challenge of the Traitors. Speaking ahead of the BBC Reality Shows finale, the husband of Zara Tyndall, granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth, revealed during an appearance on This Morning, that he'd definitely enjoy joining a future celebrity edition of the hit series. Tyndall, known for his competitive streak from his days on the rugby field and his stint on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here, said the show's mix of strategy, suspicion and psychology appeals to him. I'd love to do it, he said, grinning. It looks like brilliant fun. I think I enjoy trying to read people. Yeah, there have it.
