With Love, Meghan has received some scathing reviews since its release – and one hot topic of discussion is Prince Harry’s very fleeting appearance in the series

Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle show With Love, Meghan has dropped on Netflix – and it’s sparking huge conversations online.

While some fans are lapping up a glossy glimpse into the life of Meghan, other viewers are ‘struggling to

One source of ire seems to be Prince Harry’s very fleeting cameo. Fans wanting to catch a glimpse of the Duke have to wait until the last 10 minutes of the final episode, when he finally appears at a garden brunch Meghan throws for her family, including mum Doria, and friends.

But there is a reason for Harry’s brief presence – and it’s all to do with Meghan’s future plans, according to a body language expert Darren Stanton. Speaking on behalf of JeffBet, Darren said: “This show is basically her way of really having her own identity back, it’s always been Meghan and Harry, where he’s had his own projects and she’s supported him. It’s her way of carving back her own identity, having Harry in there just for the odd cameo gives it gravitas while showing he is still supporting her

“Principally, this is her attempt to separate from the brand and have her own space,” he continued. “This is really empowering Meghan, this comes out in a non-verbal point of view, we see her appearing very happy and genuine, she’s grounded and humble, she’s visibly excited to be doing this project.”

Darren also spoke about Meghan’s telling body language. “I think the reason she doesn’t do a direct piece of camera when Harry is around is as if you as a viewer are a guest, that’s the way it’s been shot, to make people feel part of the proceedings. Just from some of the gestures, it is clear she is absolutely the one taking the lead when he makes his appearances.

“Meghan has always used lots of power gestures, such as putting the flat of her hand on his back. There are certain gestures like that she generally uses, but even from the way she is interacting with him, you can see she is the dominant personality. There’s a couple of nervous smiles from Harry, where he’s laughing and it seems a bit forced. He is obviously trying to support her here and is letting himself sit back to do so.

“They’re quite happy to show PDA on the show, there’s not a massive amount of them together, but Meghan is hugging Harry, and he is more the dominant person in that moment, when she nuzzles her head into him. Harry is smiling and the pair are very tactile, clearly very much in love and Harry is showing his clear support of his wife’s project.”

In the final episode of the series, Meghan introduces Harry to the camera at the brunch party – and he awkwardly waves. After they kiss and hug and look at the spread of food Meghan has made, the prince tells her: “Well done. You did a great job.” “Thank you,” Meghan replies, before Harry adds: “I love it.”

In what has been be seen as a nod to the restrictions she felt within the royal family, Meghan then raises a toast, saying: “This feels like a new chapter that I’m so excited that I get to share and I’ve been able to learn from all of you. So I just thank you for all the love and support.

“And here we go, there’s a business. All of that is just part of that creativity that I’ve missed so much, so thank you for loving me so much and celebrating with me.”

With Love, Meghan is being viewed as a make-or-break moment for the Sussexes, who signed a multimillion-pound deal with Netflix in 2020, with their most successful output being their controversial Harry & Meghan documentary, which features accusations against the royal family

The Duchess of Sussex has made an appearance on Drew Barrymore’s chat show – and she also revealed the sweet way she stays connected with her children when she’s away

Meghan Markle has revealed the touching way she ‘shows up’ for her two children Archie and Lilibet when she is away from home.

The 43-year-old spoke about her family during an appearance on Drew Barrymore’s chat show, which will air later today following the release of her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

She told Drew: “I always make it a point when I’m travelling, if I can’t do bedtime stories with my kids… I’ll always pack a really thin book and I’ll videotape myself reading it. So whoever’s with them or Papa can say, ‘Here’s Mama reading your bedtime story.’”

Meghan continued: “You find ways to show up for each other and if that’s the one thing that I can convey through the show or through ‘As Ever’ as a brand, I want people to know you can show up for each other because you know how good it feels when someone shows up for you.”

Elsewhere in the show, Drew asked her guest: “What’s your favorite thing that you see in your kids that you go, ‘Oh, that’s their dad’?”

With a smile, Meghan answered, “Oh, some of the words that they still say with a British accent. So they’ll say, ‘Zebra,’ and what else do they say? They have these little moments where it comes out. They have very American accents, but they say words that are just like him, and I think it’s adorable. Zebra is a good one.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their son Archie, now five, when they were still living in the U.K. They relocated to California in 2020, where Lilibet, now three, was born.

It comes after Meghan took to Instagram on Wednesday evening to thank fans for tuning in to her new Netflix series. The Duchess posted a snippet of the show on her Stories with the caption: “For more recipes, fun and reasons to ‘Mmmm’, check out the show – which in just 24 hours is already in the Top 10! Thank you to all of you around the world who are tuning in!” The message was posted alongside a heart emoji.

The series, which is Meghan’s first solo show for the streaming giant, entered the Netflix Top 10 in the UK and the US shortly after it was released around the world. However, the show has already fallen out of the prestigious ranking in both countries.

US President Donald Trump made a brutal remark about a country very close to Prince Harry’s heart, and it’s likely upset the duke. It comes after Trump’s brutal insult towards Meghan Markle

Donald Trump has risked a new fallout with Prince Harry after ‘belittling’ one of the Duke’s favourite countries, Lesotho.

On Tuesday night, the US president gave a joint address to Congress, during which he listed the programs he has cut off from American financial aid in order to bring down the federal deficit.

“Eight million dollars to promote LGBTQI+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of,” Trump brutally claimed, to some laughter from Republican lawmakers.

The Lesotho government is “shocked and embarrassed” by the comments, the foreign minister, Lejone Mpotjoane, told AFP. “We did not expect a head of state to refer to another sovereign nation in such a manner,” he said.

Trump’s remarks are also likely to have riled Harry, who has a strong connection to Lesotho. He is good friends with Prince Seeiso – the younger brother of the country’s current King Letsie III – and together the pair set up a charity in Lesotho – Sentebale, which means “forget me not”. The organisation, which they established in 2006, works with local communities in the country at grassroots level, helping young people affected by HIV/Aids.

Like the United Kingdom, Lesotho is a constitutional monarchy. This means that although it has a royal family, an elected prime minister runs the country. Harry first went to Lesotho in 2004 on his gap year when he was 19, and has returned to the country many times since then.

It comes after Trump issued a direct threat to Harry just last year, saying that if it was found that the prince had lied on his visa application about his drug-taking, he would take “appropriate action.’ There is nothing to suggest the duke has done this.

He later clarified that he would not seek to deport Harry – but took a brutal swipe at his wife Meghan. “I don’t want to do that,” Trump told the New York Post. “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”

Just recently, King Charles invited Trump to make a state visit to the UK later on this year. It’s a rare second invite for an American president; Trump made a state visit in his first term when Queen Elizabeth II was on the throne.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer personally delivered the letter from the King at a meeting with Trump in the Oval Office just last week, with the president accepting the invite and saying that it would be an “honour” to visit the “fantastic” country. He added that King Charles was a “beautiful man, a wonderful man”.

Just hours after the handwritten letter was delivered, Harry appeared to take a swipe at Trump during a surprise appearance at the Upfront Summit in Los Angeles. He spoke about how billions of people were experiencing the “detrimental effect” when “basic morals and empathy are abandoned in favor of power and control”.

“Now this would be a great time to talk about how a sickness in leadership across sectors – from politics to tech – can have a detrimental effect on millions, if not billions, of people,” he said.

“When service to others is sacrificed for personal gain. When basic morals and empathy are abandoned in favor of power and control. But I’m not gonna get into all that now!”

President Trump has spoken publicly about his admiration for the royal family – and he previously accused the Sussexes of breaking the late Queen’s heart after they stepped down from royal life.

He said: “I think there was great disrespect to a person I got to know very well and like; the Queen. She was unbelievable, you know.

“I thought she was treated very disrespectfully by them. Although she wouldn’t show it because she was strong and smart, I imagine they broke her heart. The things that they were saying were so bad and so horrible and she was in her 90s and hearing this stuff. I think they broke her heart. I think they hurt her bad.”

The President further insisted that Harry and Meghan ”were very disrespectful to the royal family” when they decided to step down from their duties.

Meghan Markle has revealed her new surname in her Netflix show With Love, Meghan insisting that she goes by Sussex now rather than Markle – and one royal expert has weighed in on the change

Meghan Markle’s Netflix show has certainly raised eyebrows – not least because of the declaration about her surname.

The show, called With Love, Meghan, has faced savage criticism for its cooking and hosting tips – but in one telling moment with pal Mindy Kaling, the Duchess of Sussex corrects the actress regarding her name.

As the pair discuss fast food in the second episode, Mindy says: “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box.” To which Meghan replies: “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now. You have kids, and you go, ‘now I share my name with my children’…I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go ‘this is our family name, our little family name’.”

Meghan also doubled down on the name in an interview with PEOPLE magazine saying how meaningful the name Sussex was to her, while in an upcoming chat on the Drew Barrymore Show, Meghan is referred to as ‘Meghan Sussex’. And according to royal expert Jennie Bond, the moment she interrupted Mindy in the Netflix show was a very telling moment.

The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror : “I thought it was rather a pointed remark to make so publicly to a friend – she could have just halted the filming for a moment and privately corrected her guest. But she makes a fair argument: that some women feel it’s important for the family to have a shared surname.

“As it happens, I don’t. I’ve never understood why a woman should be expected to change her name just because she marries. But I’m probably in the minority.” Jennie explained that despite some arguing that Meghan should not use the Sussex name, she is entitled to do so – and is actually carrying on a long-standing royal tradition.

She added: “She’s perfectly entitled to use the name Sussex, just as other royal brides have adopted part of their titles as a surname, for example, Sophie Wessex. It’s all rather confusing really, especially as titles change, either when someone dies or a new title is bestowed.

“The official royal surname for the late Queen’s descendants is Mountbatten-Windsor. But Prince George and his siblings were actually called Cambridge at school, and now Wales. Harry and William adopted the surname Wales in their military careers.

“So Meghan is quite within her rights to adopt a married name of Sussex and also use this for the children. I don’t think she’s particularly trying to cling to her royal connections – more that she is celebrating the bond with her husband and children.”

The late Queen granted Harry and Meghan the titles Duke and Duchess of Sussex following their wedding in 2018. Before Harry’s father Charles becoming King, their children Archie and Lilibet used Mountbatten-Windsor as their last name – but when he ascended to the throne, they became Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex. Now, informally, they go by Archie Sussex and Lilibet Sussex.

“It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children,” Meghan told People. “I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me.

“I think as the kids get older, they’re so excited about, ‘Oh my gosh, Mama and Papa, how did you meet?’ I think that will come with time as they get older, but for right now a huge part of our love story is that we share the name Sussex.”

Meghan Markle appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show today as part of a publicity blitz for her panned Netflix show – and the former child actress left Meghan taken aback with a nod to her late mother-in-law

Meghan Markle was left taken aback by an unexpected nod to Princess Diana as she appeared on Drew Barrymore’s chat show.

The Duchess of Sussex dropped into the show, hosted by former child actress Drew, as part of a publicity blitz for her Netflix show With Love, Meghan that landed just days ago. It has since been panned by critics.

During the show, Meghan did a segment where she showed Drew how to make thumbprint cookies. And during the demonstration, the duchess was caught off guard by an unexpected moment prompted by an emotional Drew.

As Meghan showed her baking technique, Drew presented her guest with a framed black and white picture of her as a little girl meeting Diana – Meghan’s late mother-in-law.

The picture was taken around the time Drew starred in the blockbuster movie E.T. and shows her presenting the late princess with a doll of the alien character.

Drew gushed: “It means so much to me to have met such an incredible human being that transcended everything. It was the honour of my life.” And an off-guard Meghan replied: “Oh, my gosh, look at your little face. Oh, that’s so sweet. That’s really special. I will tell H [Harry] that, for sure.”

Elsewhere in another telling moment from the interview, when Drew welcomed viewers, she told them she had been joined by Meghan Sussex – rather than Meghan Markle. It is believed to be the first time that Meghan has been introduced in public by her new surname.

The change in Meghan’s name first came to light in an interview published earlier this week in PEOPLE magazine. In her With Love, Meghan, the change is also mentioned in an episode featuring actress Mindy Kaling.

As the pair discuss fast food in the second episode, Mindy says: “People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box.” To which Meghan replies: “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now. You have kids, and you go, ‘now I share my name with my children’…I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go ‘this is our family name, our little family name’.”

In another moment, as Meghan chatted with Drew, she had an exciting surprise for everyone in the audience – announcing she had made homemade cookies for every single person in the room to try.

The Drew Barrymore ShowMeghan revealed that she worked tirelessly in the kitchen to make enough cookies to bring for the cast, crew, and audience of The Drew Barrymore Show. And as it was more than a one-person job, Meghan says she also put Harry, Archie and one of her close friends to work to help her – showing a snap of Archie helping with the baking process.

After unveiling the surprise, Drew was over the moon as she admitted that she had never had a guest cook for the entire live audience before.

Meghan’s Netflix show is being viewed as a make-or-break moment for the Sussexes, who signed a multimillion-pound deal with Netflix in 2020, with their most successful output being their controversial Harry & Meghan documentary, which features accusations against the royal family.

The duchess renamed her lifestyle brand As Ever, switching from the name American Riviera Orchard just weeks before the launch after facing trademarking setbacks, with Netflix now a new partner in her business.

As Ever trademark applications include a vast range of products from shower gels, incense, pet shampoo and gardening trowels to cutlery, stationery, diaries, paper party decorations, wrapping paper, ornamental non-precious stones, bird houses, honey stirrers, jams, marmalades and tea sets.

Meghan Markle made a surprise appearance on US TV on the Drew Barrymore Show where she officially debuted a huge change that she teased in her Netflix show with pal Mindy Kaling

Meghan Markle has officially debuted a huge family change after revealing it in a clash on her Netflix show.

Today, the Duchess of Sussex appeared on the Drew Barrymore talk show in the US to plug With Love, Meghan – her cooking and lifestyle series, which has had a string of brutal reviews.

One of the bombshell moments from the show came in episode two when Meghan corrected her pal Mindy Kaling about her name after referring to her as Markle, with the Duchess proudly announcing she was now ‘Meghan Sussex – a nod to her royal title. And today, in one of the most telling moments during the interview, when Drew welcomed viewers, she told them she had been joined by Meghan Sussex – rather than Meghan Markle.

Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle recently delighted some of her biggest fans as she made a surprise opinion after the launch of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan

As Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series was released, the Duchess of Sussex thrilled a number of her loyal supporters.

The former Suits star, 43, surprised some of her most dedicated fans who had gathered to be among the first to watch the eight-part series titled With Love, Meghan. The sweet moment was captured and shared on Archewell Sussex’s Instagram page.

Meghan was seen embracing her fans in a number of images as she beamed alongside them for the photographs. She was also surprised by the group with a gift of her own as she accepted a bag of mementoes from her fans.

In one image, Meghan was seen crouched down as she spoke to some of her followers. The snap, shared on the Archewell Sussex Instagram page, was captioned: “The girls that have supported me for nearly a decade!” The caption for the upload read: “The Duchess of Sussex delighted some of her most dedicated fans and supporters with a special surprise last night in New York. No one deserves this moment more than these OG The Tig ladies!”

The post continued: “Meghan made a heartfelt appearance at an exclusive event ahead of the premiere of her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. The evening was filled with Tiganello wine, friendship bracelets, warm embraces, tattoos, and a special message from Archie, Lili, and Harry.”

Fans were quick to share their love in the comments section with one user saying the “love what ur doing”. Another added: “Having just watched the first episode all I can say is so well done. I wish I was Daniel making candles, cake decorating, pasta & tea. The incredible view. It’s spectacular show and I highly recommend.”

Many fans have already called for a second series of the show. The former actress shows off her cooking and hostess skills in the production and many have compared her to Nigella Lawson.

However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Meghan, with the show quickly slipping out of the streaming giant’s top 10 ratings. Meghan and Prince Harry stepped away from royal duties and left the UK for Los Angeles in January 2020. Meghan spoke about the big move during the show, saying: “I just want to raise a glass to you guys. This feels like a new chapter that I’m so excited that I’m able to share and I’ve been able to learn from all of you.”

The monarch said: ‘I particularly wanted to share with you songs which have brought me joy’

King Charles is launching his own online music playlist, including songs by reggae icon Bob Marley, Afrobeats star Davido and pop star Raye.

The monarch has teamed up with streaming giant Apple Music to allow listeners to hear his favourite tunes, which an Apple spokesperson revealed also includes hits by musical legends Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones and “1930s crooners”.

Charles, 76, has recorded a special announcement ahead of a new programme, which will include anecdotes about his encounters with some of the artists featured, to mark the release of the new concept, ahead of Commonwealth Day this Monday. It is understood the collaboration, codenamed Project Rose, has been kept carefully under wraps for months.

During the minute-long broadcast from His Majesty’s office at Buckingham Palace, the King tells viewers: “Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories, comfort us in times of sadness and to take us to distant places.

“But perhaps, above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree and all the more so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy.” Charles added: “I particularly wanted to share with you songs which have brought me joy.”

Charles grew up playing the piano, cello, and trumpet and was also part of the school choir and orchestra at Gordonstoun, which he attended between the ages of 13 and 18. He is known to be a keen lover of classical music and in 2020 he appeared on Classic FM, presenting a programme of his favourite classical songs, including ‘The Birds’ from the Bridal March of the Birds by Parry, said to be his favourite composer, and two symphonic works by Wagner.

Speaking about the King’s latest collaboration, Rachel Newman, Apple Music’s global head of content and editorial, said: “Human curation has always been a key pillar of our unique editorial approach. Apple Music Radio is where culture is happening worldwide, and we are honoured that King Charles III chose to share his personal playlist with us and with music fans around the world.”

Errollyn Wallen, CBE, Master of The King’s Music, said: “You can see His Majesty’s wide-ranging enthusiasm for music in this playlist to mark Commonwealth Day. The Commonwealth has produced more than its fair share of wonderful songs, singers, and musicians, and this fun and eclectic collection is a great reminder of this treasure trove of creativity.”

Former Baywatch star and ex-wife of David Hasselhoff, Pamela Bach, has been found dead at the age of 62

The ex-wife of David Hasselhoff has died aged 62.

Former Baywatch star Pamela Bach was found dead at home after family “hadn’t heard from her in days”. She was discovered to have passed at her Los Angeles home on Wednesday.

It’s reported family members had gone to check on her after not hearing from her. They are said to have called police at around 10pm. TMZ reports Pamela died by suicide but didn’t leave a note. It’s reported a gun was found near her body.

Hasselhoff also told the publication: “Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time but we kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time.”

Pamela had appeared on hit series Baywatch for 10 years as cafe owner Kaye Morgan. She also featured on shows such as Knight Rider, Cheers, The Fall Guy, TJ Hooker and the Young and the Restless.

It was on the set of Knight Rider that Pamela met David. They ended up getting married in 1989 and stayed together until 2006. They filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The pair share two children together, Hayley and Taylor Ann. Following David and Pamela’s contentious divorce, they both got custody of one daughter.

Following the news of her death, daughter Hayley took to her Instagram Stories to share a throwback post of her mum and dad smiling. The image is thought to show them together at Universal Studios Hollywood at the opening of the Jurassic Park ride in 1996. Alongside the photo – which was part of a post by another account from 2023 that she shared on the platform – model Hayley added a white heart emoji.

Pamela also has one granddaughter named London. The actress had shared her gratitude for her grandchild in her last Instagram post. As the new year chimed in, Pamela wrote: “As we step into 2025, my heart is full of gratitude, especially for my precious grandbaby, London.” She continued: ” Watching her grow and seeing her smile light up my world is truly the greatest blessing. My wish for all of you this year is health, happiness, and an abundance of love. May 2025 be filled with beautiful moments, laughter, and all the blessings your hearts can hold. Here’s to a year of making cherished memories, spreading joy, and embracing every precious moment!”

She shared a sweet video of her grandchild and also an image of herself standing beside a lavish Christmas tree. She also took to her daughter Hayley’s Instagram page seemingly hours before her death. On her daughter’s post in which she is seen getting her makeup done, Pamela simply shared an emoji face with love heart eyes.

Following the news of her passing, fans took to social media with messages of condolence. On Twitter/X, one user wrote: “RIP Pamela Bach Hasselhoff I will miss you,” alongside a broken heart emoji and an image of the star. Another wrote: “I went to school with Pamela. She was very beautiful and sweet at that time. Her mother reminded me of Jane Austen’s Mrs Bennet, Pride & Prejudice, who had the additional challenge of being divorced when it was very rare. Pamela was her hope. Godspeed.”

Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Kristina Rihanoff has reportedly split from her rugby star partner Ben Cohen after meeting on the BBC show in 2013

Kristina Rihanoff has reportedly split from rugby union player Ben Cohen after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing over 12 years ago.

The couple originally found love on the BBC show in 2013, when Ben – who was married to then-wife Abby Cohen – was paired with the professional dancer

While on the show, Russian dancer Kristina, 47, and rugby star Ben, 46, were reportedly hit by the Strictly curse, with the couple becoming an item after Ben split from wife Abby. They later welcomed daughter Mila together in 2016.

Speaking about the couple’s split, friends told The Sun: “It’s like the curse in reverse. This will be like karma for Abby, she was so upset when Ben left her. It’s like he has got his comeuppance.”

The couple have opened up about their financial struggles over the past year and have placed their £1.75million home in Northampton up for sale, while Ben has been removed as a director of their joint yoga business.

The friend added: “The past six months have been hell for them and it has torn the love they had apart. For the sake of their family, they have chosen to go forward as separate individuals.”

“Those close to them who know them as a couple had hoped they would be able to work things out but for now it’s over and it looks like there’s no going back.” The Mirror has approached Kristina and Ben’s representatives for comment.

In September, a court heard how the couple were so in debt that they were “fighting not to lose their relationship and their home” as the former Strictly professional appealed a conviction for driving without insurance

At the time, the court heard how Ben and Kristina’s businesses, which include a yoga studio, suffered as a result of Covid, with Ben saying: “I get up every day and I fight not to lose everything to lose my cars and my house and my relationship. I’m so overdrawn.”

When asked about the impact of his financial struggles on his relationship with Kristina, he added: “We’re still living together. We’re in it financially.

“We’re in business together so the problem is that we opened the business before Covid and we got the worst severities of it and in all honestly this is just another problem for me to deal with.

“I’ve got credit cards that are overdrawn. I’m overdrawn in both accounts. We have got a business debt because of Covid. It’s just another problem.

During his rugby career, Ben played for Northampton, Brive and Sale Sharks as well as England from 2000 until 2006. He retired from the sport in 2011 and in recent years, appeared on The Jump, The Celebrity Chase and The Real Full Monty.

Kristina rose to fame in 2008 when she joined the cast of Strictly, taking part in eight series during her time on the show. She left in 2015 before entering the Celebrity Big Brother house the following year.
