An amazingly candid conversation with former UK Head of Counter Terrorism Neil Basu, who was on the RAVEC committee when the decision was made to remove Prince Harry’s police protection & believes it was done because they didn’t think Harry would leave.

On Wednesday, Princess Diana’s son, Prince Harry, made the same journey through a partially cleared minefield, at a time when countries are beginning to break away from the international anti-land mine treaty drawn up in the months after Diana’s visit.

“If it wasn't for Prince Harry, I would have talked myself out of this job and never had the chance to lead Travalyst, the organisation that has come to mean more to me than almost anything.”

As ever increased its inventory nearly 10 times that of the 1st collection. The June 20 drop saw a two-time increase in site traffic compared to the first collection, and all of the products released on Friday sold out within four hours. #MeghanSussex

🚨Set your alarms. Next As ever product drop is Jun 20 8am PT. The west coast thanks you Meghan. We don’t mind a 5am email but a 6am product launch just ain’t cool. www.instagram.com/p/DK-eCDgSS_...

Say what now!?! Ms. Tina Knowles sitting down for a bonus podcast episode with Meghan. I will also be seated.

Prince Harry spoke at the Trip(dot)com Group’s Envision 2025 Summit in Shanghai, China and hosted the 1st ever Travalyst Executive Summit on May 26. The two-day Executive Summit with industry leaders and policymakers is the first in a global series to drive action in the industry.

"Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories. Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story - we appreciate you. Happy anniversary! ❤️" 📸 Meghan #HarryAndMeghan A treasure trove of new pics. 🥰🤗

Happy 6th birthday Prince Archie. May this next turn around the sun be the best one yet. 📸 Meghan #PrinceArchie6

“This process has only ever been about ensuring my safety and that of my immediate family when we are in in the UK, so that we may safely visit my home country with the same level of security that other governments deem necessary for our protection.” - Prince Harry’s statement on his appeal loss

Prince Harry lost his appeal of the judicial review of the Home Office’s decision to remove his police protection when in the U.K. The judges agreed that the RAVEC committee didn’t follow their standard procedures but concluded that wasn’t unreasonable.

This is one trend I am sad that I missed during my social media lent break! In my black woman kitchen, le creuset is front and center! #withloveMeghan #Netflix

Looks like we’re getting a double play this week. I suspect that Jamie Kern Lima is appearing on Meghan’s Confessions of a Female Founder this week. Wasn’t expecting Meghan to appear on Jamie’s podcast the Jamie Kern Lima show. Out now and we get video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSWp...

Prince Harry & Meghan joined families in NYC Wednesday night to unveil a memorial calling for urgent reform of social media. The 24 hr “The Lost Screen Memorial” installation features 50 smartphone lock screens in a lightbox, which displays the image of a child whose life ended due to social media.

Congrats to Good Morning Britain host Alex Beresford & his wife lmogen on the birth of their daughter Camille. Meghan sent a gift basket with As ever jam & a stuffed octopus. The octopus is a go to kid gift. A mom friend mentioned Meghan sent one when her son had surgery (PEOPLE).

“Meghan, who appears on TIME’s 2021 and 2018 lists of the world’s most influential people, said that business success is not what primarily makes her happy; it’s her family, her partner and husband Prince Harry who has been “so supportive,” and her two young children Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.”

One of Prince Harry’s core beliefs is that the removal of security for him and his family when they stepped back from the working royal family was a deliberate tactic of control — a way to force them back into the fold. Never forget that the palace controls 40% of the RAVEC committee seats.

Prince Harry’s surprise visit to the Ukraine “involved a meeting with members of Ukraine's Invictus Games community, a tour of the Superhumans Center, and connecting with patients and medical staff. As part of the tour, Harry observed a live surgery in the center's operating theater.”

Meghan saw the play Gypsy on Broadway last night & visited backstage with Audra McDonald & the cast after the show, along with friends Nate Berkus, Jeremiah Brent, Tracy Robbins, Brian Robbins, and George Cheeks. Lots of great backstage pics with the cast.

“It was really organic, how it [Netflix’s investment] happened—I guess every pun is intended, with food and consumables,” said Meghan, who for years had been sending Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos homemade jams as part of her holiday season gift-giving.”

Dan Wootton is the defendant in a civil case where he is alleged to have catfished a work colleague using the pseudonym Maria Joseph. Using that persona, Dan sent nude pictures and video of ‘Maria’ having sex in order to solicit explicit photos from the claimant doing the same.

🚨 Livestream 🚨 Watch Prince Harry’s judicial hearing in the UK. He’s in court appealing the judicial review that upheld the removal of his U.K. police protection.

Meghan’s new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, is out! The 1st episode, The Evolution of the Entrepreneur with Bumble’s Whitney Wolfe Herd, is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

I am ridiculously excited for this. I think the website is going to be swamped—my friends were looking locally for edible flower sprinkles for the Meghan donuts as a project last weekend and every store in a 5 mile radius was sold out. Her show is fun, despite nasty critics.

📧: “You're now familiar with the line-up of products, and as of today you can order them for yourself to experience at home. I can't wait to hear what you think! Welcome to As ever...this is just the beginning.” As ever - Meghan #AsEver

“Like Gwyneth Paltrow, Chrissy Teigen and other celebrities who have cooking & lifestyle brands, Meghan doesn’t have professional culinary training. Last week’s visit…showed that she’s a passionate home cook who knows her way around a vinaigrette, is quick with a lemon zester & deft with a knife.”

“Meghan, Duchess of Sussex is partnering with Netflix to launch her new lifestyle brand, As ever. Dedicated to curating beautifully crafted essentials for the home, the line brings Meghan’s signature design aesthetic — as seen in her series With Love, Meghan — to life.”

Meghan’s As Ever brand officially launches tomorrow. One day after the 5 year anniversary of Sussex Independence Day, Meghan will get to experience the #MeghanEffect for her own brand.

"If you don’t want a personalized harvest basket with eggs from Archie’s Chick Inn and a sweet note written in calligraphy, suit yourself—more crêpes for me. A lot of you don’t deserve to have guest rooms. Or guests!"

"As expected some folks were triggered by #race being a part of the conversation because we live in a world where people get more upset about being pegged as a racist than they do actual racism." www.threads.net/@lisafrance/...

Here's the link to my @npr.org interview on Morning Edition with @michelmartinnpr.bsky.social about #meghansussex =https://www.npr.org/2025/03/27/nx-s1-5339822/meghan-markle-duchess-of-sussex-netflix-critics

THIS: “Since when do y’all take issue with a woman of color knowing her way around a kitchen and large plot of land? It’s a kiki as long as we’re cooking for your families, cleaning your homes, and raising your children, but watch us bake focaccia for our own and suddenly, you’re scandalized.”

“It doesn’t matter if we’re running for president or building a balloon arch; the bitterness jumps out every time. And there’s just something about this lady in particular that bothers you to such a degree that she can’t so much as make a frittata without causing an international crash out.“

“What’s been meaningful is being able to talk about my own entrepreneurial journey with other female founders who are either on their own trajectory of growth or have IPO’d, sold, or created high impact brands and gone through all of the learning curves that we all do at the start.” - Meghan Sussex

Since With Love, Meghan debuted, viewers have been split on whether the former royal has the chops to stand next to homemaking icons like Martha Stewart & Gwyneth Paltrow. What’s not up for debate is Markle’s fashion-selling power. *Meghan’s selling power extends far beyond fashion ask Le Creuset.

ShopMy closed their $77.5M series B round of funding in Dec with plans to use the funds to expand into new ad categories including food & beverage. Meghan doesn’t need affiliate link commissions for influencing fashion. This move makes much more sense if she’s an investor & founder of her own brand.

“All in all, I can't say anything negative about this dish. The recipe worked exactly as promised. It was simple, flavorful and easy to follow — and honestly, it tasted great.” #WithLoveMeghan

“JAMAICA is halfway through the transition to becoming a Republic, according to a top minister. The next stage to complete the transition will include a Referendum – which is expected to take place after the General Election in September.”

“The reaction to Meghan Sussex’s show highlights deeper psychological and societal issues: our obsession with placing celebrities on a pedestal only to revel in their downfall, the dark side of online trolling, the insidious influence of racial biases, and the ever-present sting of envy.”

“We’re a passive partner in Meghan’s company,& it’s a big discovery model for us right now…Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture. When we dropped the trailer for the “Harry & Meghan” doc series [in 2022], everything on-screen was dissected in the press for days” #MeghanEffect

In a new original podcast from Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, “Confessions of a Female Founder” invites you to be a fly on the wall as she sits down for candid conversations with female founders & friends about the success, struggles, & never-before-told stories of building a business. Debuts April 8

#withloveMeghan is delightful and shows a soft life with bees and rainbow fruit. However, the Duchess has been called everything from unrelatable to Marie Antionette. What's going on? Oh, you know. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/colu...

“And now there’s backlash to the backlash — mostly from Black women, coming to Meghan’s defense, with some posting their own Le Creuset collections.” #WithLoveMeghan

#WithLoveMeghan debuted in the Netflix Global Top 10 last week.

Count on Meghan to break out the flower sprinkles and a few puns, & pop a bottle. Feels like her #WithLoveMeghan signatures each episode. Wish I’d thought to keep a tally.

“They both show up for me with years of wisdom, lived experience, and insight, and yet they’re my girlfriends as much as they are my mentors. Their friendship is less about the words of advice they’ve given, and so much more about the acts of simply showing up that they do every day.” - Meghan
