Affiliate Marketer Meghan Markle not going over so well

influencer style, brand placements and monetizing your own taste. It's the kind of jarring contrast that's hard to ignore. One inside it, quoted by The Express, says Megan's affiliate marketing comes across as a bit of a word we won't repeat but rhymes with what and urged Meghan not to oversaturate herself by keeping the doors closed and preserving the mystique. Another less offensive word being thrown around is cringe. A

source tells of The Express. Megan has access, reach and impact, but the strategy right now lacks clarity, consistency and direction. She's no longer blurring lines between personal brand and purpose. She's blowing them up. Pr expert Chad Tickserah adds, it honestly feels like Meghan has finally dropped the act of being anything more than a well dressed influencer. There's no shame in the affiliate game. It's a legitimate hustle. But let's not pretend this is some grand reinvention from royal

tours to reward links. It's quite the pivot. We'll point out. Megan is much more than a well dressed influencer. She hosts a cooking show for Netflix, sells dog biscuits and jam online, and next week is releasing a mildly anticipated new podcast. Tax Sera adds she's basically gone from giving speeches about global issues to giving discount codes for blazers. This move feels like the final nail in the coffin for the serious thought leader narrative. In the end, Megan's

gone from the palace to the Pinterest board. It's not that people don't want her to win, but this isn't the kind of powerplay most expected. The strategy lacks the gravitars of someone who once spoke about dismantling institutional structures. Now it's ten percent off handbags and a swipe up story away from becoming a full blown fashion affiliate. Queen Rebecca English warns Prince Harry to be careful about making

a Netflix documentary Telling Palace Confidential. I think if he was to do it, making the show about Princess Diana, it would bring him into massive conflict with his brother, because although Harry and William together cooperated on I think two documentaries about their mother over the years to mark particular landmarks, I know Prince William has made a point of saying, look, it really is time to let my mother's memory rest in peace. Now. He's made that very clear.

I mean, apart from joint charitable initiatives like the Diana Awards, which I think are very positive ones, they very much want to park that side of their mother's life royal inside. Deep Crown agrees, Telling Pallace Intrigue, Harry finds himself in an increasingly precarious position. The fraternal bond with William, once the monarchy's greatest strength, now stands as perhaps its most visible fracture. Should Harry proceed with documentaries revisiting Diana's legacy

against William's explicit wishes. He risks not merely angering a brother, but potentially earning the permanent disapproval of a future sovereign. The California Prince would be wise to consider that while Charles may practice patients born for his own decades long wait, King William, shaped by different forces, might adopt a firmer approach to familial dissent once the crown rests upon his head.

Harry apparently learned of his father's recent hospitalization the same way the rest of us did by social media, where told the Palace did not want to cause unnecessary alarm. Meanwhile, The Telegraph reports Center Bali's Sophie Chanduk fell out with the Sussexes after refusing a request by the couple to tell the media that Michael hadn't been mean to her.

At a charity polo match, a scene wildly circulated on social media in recent days shows Meghan directing the charity's CEO to move out of a photo so that Mikel herself could stand beside Prince Harry. Chanduka was seen ducking awkwardly beneath the trophy to accommodate the Duchess's request. A well placed but anonymous source told the Telegraph that it comes down to that polo match and the awkward moment

with Mikl moving her out of the way. Harry then demanded that she make a statement to the press, basically saying Megan wasn't mean to me, and she refused to do that. All this is part of a narrative that finds Harry more and more isolated. An insider told the Son, first he was a spare to William. Now he's increasingly looking like a spare to Meghan, and it's not a

great look. More palas in just a moment, There was an unexpected royal twist on The UK Apprentice, as Lord Allen Sugar took aim not at the contestants but a Prince Andrew. During the program's traditional shopping channel task, in which candidates attempt to flog products live on the air, the boardroom discussion turned to a facial steamer one contestant described as a device design to unclogged pause and improve skin tone. Lord Sugar, however, appeared more interested in its

vapor output, cuipping, I didn't see you use it. I saw the steam coming out of it. Then, with a look of mischief, rarely seen in Whitehall or windsor the business. Nikoon added half an hour of that would even get Prince Andrew to sweat the boardroom, predictably corrupted in laughter.

The remark was, of course, appointed reference to the Duke of York's now infamous twenty nineteen news Note interview in which he claimed medical condition rendered him temporarily unable to perspire, a claim that raised eyebrows at the time and has since become a cultural reference point for the absurd social media lit up following the broadcast Careful Sugar or You'll Be Handed Those titles back Tom Quinn's new book As

We Surface, The Tales of Andrew's Teddy Bear Collection. Quinn told Fox News Digital he is quite eccentric, and he has a collection of teddy bears which he insists of places every day in a certain position, a pyramid shape, and he gets very cross if it's not done properly. He really doesn't do anything for himself. He has a member of staff who puts the teddy bears in order.

There are quite a few twenty or thirty in the position that he likes every day, and I know that in the past if they're not placed exactly as he wants. He can be quite sure tempered and angry about it. So when he finds someone who is very good at it, he clings to them and he gets the same person

to do it every day. A lot of his staff don't think very much of him because they think he's entitled and quite bad tempered, and a lot of his bad temper I think is frustration because in many ways he felt he would be a better king than Charles. His brother Andrew is less introspective, he's less sensitive, he's more of a tough guy, and I think he feels frustrated even more now that he's no longer a working royal. He does tend to take it out on the staff.

While members of the royal family are no strangers to life in the public eye, there remains certain aspects of their private lives that are rarely discussed. Tattoos, for example. Though one hardly associates the monarchy with body art, a small number of royals have indeed sported ink, either discreetly or in some cases rather boldly. Take Princess Eugenie, for instance, in twenty twenty two, during the National Service of Thanksgiving held at Saint Paul's Cathedral in honor of Queen Elizabeth

the seconds Platinum Jubilee. Eagle eye observers noted a small circle tattoo just behind her ear. Further a field on the royal family tree, Lady Amelia Windsor, granddaughter of the Duke of Kenton, third cousin to Princess William and Harry, has been rather more forthcoming in her esthetic choices. Lady Amelia has been seen with a tiger tattoo on her shoulder, as well as another design on her rebcage consisting of

two small leaves. A third tattoo has also been spotted on her wrist, though the designs were something of a mystery. While such adornments may seem unconventional within royal circles, Amelia's fashion forward, sensibility and modeling work place her in a rather different category. Tattooing among royals is not, however, a modern invention. King George the Fifth through reigned from nineteen ten to thirty six, bought not only one but two

tattoos before ascending the throne. The young Prince served in the Royal Navy, and during a visit to Japan in eighteen eighty one received a red and blue dragon tattoo, a customary practice among naval men of the era. He is also said to have had a tiger tattooed on his other arm. Both designs likely acquired well before it became apparent that he would one day become king following the untimely death of his elder brother, Prince Albert Victor. And there you have it.
