JUST like her acting, nothing Meghan does is improvised.
His decision, then, to announce the launch of his latest pet project – dog treats – hours before Kate’s courageous return to public service was ill-timed at best.

At worst, very insensitive.
Was it deliberate? A heady attempt to promote her new product line and cynically upstage her sister-in-law?
Or simply a well-intentioned gift for some close friends, one of whom took to Instagram and shared the material?
Only Meghan and her harem of PR consultants know.
But what is certain is that the move apparently reinforces the actress’ unfortunate reputation as a con artist.
(Bizarrely, it comes exactly a year to the day that the boss of their former employer at Spotify branded the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as “con artists” following their doomed £15m podcast deal.)
Einstein’s definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Repeatedly, then, Meghan rubs people the wrong way—e.g., dog biscuit-gate—and complains that people hate her and have an agenda.
They do not.
In this case, they just wanted poor Kate, going through brutal rounds of chemotherapy, to have her moment in the spotlight on Trooping The Color, when she’s doing so much to inspire the nation and those suffering from cancer alike. Was that too much to ask?
To recap, this is all part of the PR campaign behind Meghan’s latest money-making venture, American Riviera Orchard.
The fledgling lifestyle brand, which she has been quietly working on behind the scenes for the past year, is currently undergoing a “soft launch.”
This means that she – or rather, her well-paid advertising team – is sending gift packages to her closest friends, conveniently those with a strong social media presence, to promote her products.
Mass hysteria
First came the strawberry jam.
Beautifully packaged in CoolBranded jars personalized with Meghan’s delightful cursive writing, 50 jars were duly packed and shipped to her friends, who dutifully posted them online.
And, of course, he waxed lyrical about the contents of the jelly.
A PR masterstroke.
Her fans were foaming at the mouth with frenzied excitement at this double whammy of feel-good excitement. Jelly!!! Snacks for dogs!!!!
So on Saturday, as Kate stoically put on her game face and prepared to face the world’s media for the first time in weeks — and the pages and pages of online scrutiny and scrutiny that that would entail — fellow polo player from Meg, Nacho Figueras appeared on Instagram with a cute little photo of her dog next to her new (presumably organic) treats.
Plus a new jelly flavor (raspberry, for those interested).
Cue the mass hysteria about Meghan.
Her fans were foaming at the mouth with frenzied excitement at this double whammy of feel-good excitement. Jelly!!! Snacks for dogs!!!!
Good old Meg, charting her own career, far from the “decrepit” and “racist giant” that is the Royal Family.
(For the record, I think it’s great that she’s launching her own business and, frankly, everyone power at her for that.)
However, the timing of the change seemed to someone resentful of not being invited, for the second year in a row, to Trooping The Color and all the pomp – which Americans love and crave – that entails.
Would it have killed Meg and company to put off a few days? No.
In short, for a woman apparently desperate to rid herself of her opportunistic brand, scheduling sucks.
It really takes the (dog) biscuit.
Some homemade teeth on vet bills

A WOMAN in the South Wales was understandably a little shocked to have received £500 from her vet for her hamster’s tooth bill.
Apparently the cute rodent didn’t need Invisalign, veneers or teeth bleaching – simply a small cut to keep the poor creature pain free.
Instead of shelling out for the vet, the entrepreneur took to YouTube for a DIY hamster dentistry course — and, well, she did it herself.
Increasingly, veterinarians are getting away with daylight robberies by taking advantage of our unconditional love for animals.
More needs to be done to regulate our pets and our purses.

You are welcome.
Hack bark, no bite
ANOTHER week, another hack.
After purchasing some vitamins on Instagram, lured by the advertised promise of eternal life and vitality, I got my payment back.
This was quickly followed by an email beginning: “Hi dear. (So far so good.)
“I gained control of your devices thanks to your predilection for some websites.
“What this means for you is that I can see everything that happens on and in front of your screen.
“I’m also not going to waste my time on you and just post all this crap. I have everything I need.”
(And now the twist.)
“After a while I had an idea, I took screenshots of you satisfying yourself using the camera on one of your devices, to impress everyone you know.
“Long story short, I’m going to make a deal with you. Transferring me $1,199 USD is fine with me, I’ll give you 48 hours to onboard.
He then sent a “Bitcoin wallet link”. (I have no idea either.)
Anyway, dear friends and family: enjoy my Google search history on “why does my dog bark so much?” and “Do dogs feel unconditional love?” – and three million Amazon orders, most of them dog bones.
(Meghan, if you’re reading this, maybe you could put some dog biscuits in the mail.)
Rishi is not so elegant

WHEN will politicians learn that sitting in a plastic children’s chair is NEVER a good look?
Earlier this month, we had boyish Rishi Sunak looking like a Year 5 student during a trip to Great Oldbury Primary Academy – as if he needed more help.
And last week, prime ministerial hopefuls Keir Starmer and Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting did the same, sitting in tiny seats behind a small green table.
Don’t do that, guys. Do not do. This.

DEFLECTION at its best.
In the most manly move imaginable, a man is suing Apple after his wife recovered deleted iMessages on the family Mac, showing he was having an affair with a prostitute.
Blaming the company for the £5 million the divorce cost him, the love mouse recognizes that it’s Apple’s fault that his willy has slipped into places he shouldn’t have.
What world.
Drinks sense
ONE of Keir Starmer’s manifesto promises is to ban the sale of energy drinks for under 16s.
He also plans to create an additional 100,000 urgent dental appointments for children.
The two policies are in agreement. These highly processed, sugary, caffeinated drinks are an affront to your teeth and health.
These drinks are dangerous enough in the clutches of adult human beings and are downright evil for already overachieving, nervous, impressionable children, those with a growing list of post-Covid mental health issues.
