Some in the Invictus Games community think Prince Harry and his wife have distracted from what the Games are all about.

A discussion of why Meghan isn't coming to the UK, even though we all think we know why.

Apparently the King is "too busy" to meet Harry next week.  Thats nice and all, but isn't he THE KING?  Surely he can run 15 minutes late if he needs to.

And William and Kate..come on...no chance.

PR expert Mayah Riaz believes Meghan will likely continue to release jams.  Mayah told the Mirror: "I think we could see a range of limited edition jams, in a variety of flavours being launched.
Along with jams, honey, she may possibly even create sauces and pestos. Essentially items which are seen as luxury and would sit well in hampers. They would also be ideal items for gifting - if you can get your hands on them."
With Jamgate dominating the news, it begs the question: do Harry and Meghan not have much actually going on?
Royal expert Richard Kay has suggested that the recent flurry of project announcements by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, including a new podcast deal and the Duchess of Sussex's 'jamfluencer' roll out, are a 'diversion tactic' from the fact that 'probably not much is going on'.

Buckingham Palace has issued a major update on King Charles' health, announcing that he is set to return to public-facing duties shortly after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis. The monarch has been receiving outpatient care since early February when it was revealed he had been diagnosed with an unspecified type of cancer.

To mark the promising development, the palace released a never-before-seen portrait of King Charles beaming at Queen Camilla, taken by photographer Millie Pilkington. The image was captured on April 10, the day after their 19th wedding anniversary, in the Buckingham Palace garden.

As part of his return to public duties, King Charles and Queen Camilla will visit a cancer treatment centre on Tuesday to meet with medical specialists and patients. The royal couple will also host the Emperor and Empress of Japan for a state visit to the UK in June.

More back and forth about the Jam Wars.

Kate is Wonderful.

Sophie is Wonderful...but a litle annoyed.

The Daily Beast reports Even Meghan’s Dog Has Been Roped Into Selling Jam.
Per the Beast, Mamma Mia—a Beagle who was rescued from an animal testing facility with eight pups—was adopted by Meghan and her husband Prince Harry in 2022, joining their other rescue dog, Guy.

Meghan’s friend, the noted Jam Enthusiast Abigail Spencer has been   upstaged by photographs of Mamma Mia, nuzzling Spencer in the latest pictures. The presence of the dog playing with Spencer in what looks like a verdant garden suggests that the picture may have been taken at Meghan’s $14 million Montecito home.

Abigail Spencer’s long-lasting friendship with Meghan started back in 2007. 
Spencer recently recalled the moment, while guesting on the Kelly Clarkson show, saying, "I was doing a pilot for NBC, and I went to read with the people who were supposed to play my best friend. They were testing other actresses. I walk in, I see this beautiful gorgeous creature at the end of the table and I'm like, 'Who is that?' We had an immediate something, you know? And her name is Meghan Markle."

"It was just something between us. Our friendship really developed during that time, and deepened. She's an incredible person."
 

We asked our royal insider if they had received one of the 50 jars of Meghans jam.  Deep Crown told us:

"Well, well, well. I must say, I'm flattered that you would think I might be among the chosen few, but alas, my pantry remains sadly bereft of the Duchess's culinary creations.

. I imagine the list of recipients for Meghan's jam is a veritable who's who of the glitterati, carefully curated to maximize buzz and star power.

But really, is this what we've come to? Speculating about the distribution list for a batch of strawberry preserves? I know the royal news cycle can be a bit slow at times, but surely there must be more pressing matters to discuss than the contents of Meghan's kitchen.

We decided to ask Deep Crown about Rebel Wilson’s Royal Orgy story from yesterday.  They said, “"You know, there's an old saying in London: 'You hear a lot of things in this city, and some of them are even true.'”
This is certainly a juicy bit of gossip, isn't it? A wild party attended by a minor royal, complete with drugs, orgies, and all manner of debauchery. It's the kind of story that would have the tabloids salivating and the social set buzzing for weeks, but here we are talking about jam.

But you know, as salacious as these details are, I can't say I'm entirely surprised. The British aristocracy has a long and storied history of secret parties and illicit pleasures, dating back centuries. From the hedonistic excesses of the Hellfire Club in the 18th century to the drug-fueled soirées of the Swinging Sixties, there's always been a undercurrent of wild behavior bubbling just beneath the surface of polite society.

Of course, the royals themselves are no strangers to this kind of thing. Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon were notorious for their wild parties and bohemian lifestyle, and there have been plenty of other royals over the years who have been caught up in scandals involving drugs, sex, and other vices.

But the key word here is 'secret.' These kinds of parties and behaviors are rarely talked about openly, and when they do come to light, it's often in the form of rumor and innuendo, rather than hard facts. That's why it's so difficult to pin down the identity of the royal in question in this particular case - the aristocracy closes ranks around its own, and there's a powerful incentive to keep these kinds of stories under wraps.

Rebel Wilson, in her memoir "Rebel Rising," has made a shocking claim that a member of the British Royal family invited her to a drug-fuelled orgy at the home of a US tech billionaire in 2014. Although she did not name the minor royal in question, Wilson provided details about the party and the events that transpired.

According to Wilson, she received a last-minute invitation to the party from a man who is "like fifteenth or twentieth in line to the British throne." The party, which had a medieval theme, took place at a rented ranch just outside Los Angeles. Wilson described the scene, saying, "Men were jousting on horses in a field, girls dressed as mermaids were in the pool ... The property was massive, and because it was quite a drive, people had been assigned rooms to sleep there overnight."

As the night progressed, Wilson recalled, "I watch the British royal flounder around whilst I continuously hike up my boobs ... There's a huge private fireworks display and then all of a sudden it's 2am and a guy comes out with a large tray piled with what looks like a ton of candy." When she inquired about the "candy," the man holding the tray informed her that it was actually "molly [MDMA]," and another person explained that it was for the orgy that typically starts around that time at such events.

Wilson realized that the comment made by the Windsor about needing more girls made more sense in this context. She wrote, "They weren't talking about a boy-girl ratio like it was a year-eight disco. They were talking about an ORGY!" Upon this realization, Wilson said, "Needless to say, I hike up my damsel dress and run out of there as fast as I can."



It has been revealed that Meghan Markle's new podcast will not be launching until 2025, as the TV Cooking Show Host has had to put her audio projects on hold to focus on her latest Netflix series, which will cover topics such as "cooking, gardening and friendship."

After her twenty five million dollar Spotify deal for 12 episodes was terminated following the controversial Archetypes podcast, Meghan entered into an agreement with US network Lemonada Media. However, producers at her new company have decided to delay the podcast's release to avoid "scheduling conflicts."
The launch of Meghan Markle's new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has been hindered by an Instagram copycat account selling "anti-monarchy" products. The account, @shopamericanrivieraorchard, has used the Duchess of Sussex's name and claims to be based in Montecito.

The copycat account has already garnered over 6,000 followers and is using Meghan's brand name to sell a small range of products with an anti-monarchy message. These products include a planner titled "RoyalWealth Reign: Empowering Women's Financial Sovereignty" and a booklet of colouring pages.

The homepage of the copycat account features a message referencing American Independence Day, July 4, 1776, and rejecting royal titles such as Prince, Princess, and Duchess. The message reads, "In America, we do not recognize a royal title by someone's name. In America, we believe ALL are created EQUAL. A royal title therefore has no significance. That is why the RoyalWealth Reign™ line was established to recognize and celebrate the working class who are the true heart of our country."

It's all about the jam.  Sure, we're all making fun of it, but is it actually a brilliant PR Stunt?

Who cares if it is - it's so much fun to ake fun of.

A look at who has gotten jam so far, and where they rank in Meghan's Top 50!

Meanwhile, this has spiked sales in The King's Jam!

According to royal editor Charlotte Griffiths, Meghan was not too happy with Frogmore Cottage, which only has eight bedrooms.  This comment comes in light of Harry listening the day he was kicked out of Frogmore as the day he became a resident of the United States.  Griffiths told GB News, “Harry was incensed by this move. Nothing is by chance with Harry. He's kind of spiteful and he can't let go of the past.
