Meghan’s Rosé, Suits Rewind, and a Royal Funeral Plan with a Twist
You can laugh at Meghan Markle’s brand—but royal expert Jennie Bond says she might just be getting the last word. From her lifestyle tips to her sell-out products and surging social media numbers, Meghan seems to be quietly building something real. As for Harry? Bond thinks he’s finally figured out he’s not exactly a natural TV producer.
Meanwhile, Suits superfans are convinced they’ve pinpointed the exact moment Meghan met Harry—by tracking changes in Rachel Zane’s wardrobe, screen chemistry, and camera angles. Hemlines went down. Kisses got awkward. Coincidence? They think not.
But the shine may be fading on Meghan’s debut rosé. One Daily Mail critic called it “bland,” “watery,” and “something you’d get at a work happy hour.” Cheers?
And in a serious turn, The Telegraph reports that Prince Harry and Meghan are being quietly included in early plans for King Charles’ eventual funeral. Nothing to do with his current health—just traditional planning. But should the worst happen, Harry would walk beside William, and even Archie and Lilibet would have roles.
Also today: thanks to a boom in offshore wind, the Sovereign Grant is about to surge by £45 million. While that money goes toward palace renovations, critics argue it could be better spent addressing child poverty. Helicopters, heritage, and headlines—welcome to monarchy math in 2025.
