EXCLUSIVE As long as it twerks in America! Why Meghan Markle doesn't care if British 'haters' winced at video of her twerking in the delivery room before daughter Lilibet's birth
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, came in for criticism in Britain last week when she released a 'cringeworthy' video of her twerking in the delivery room before daughter Lilibet's birth. But she seems to have put the embarrassment behind her as she and husband Prince Harry, 40, enjoyed a family trip to Disneyland, California. And The Mail on Sunday can reveal that, despite the backlash over her dodgy dancing with Harry to the soundtrack of Starrkeisha's Baby Mama song, defiant Meghan is thrilled by the reaction in America. Last night a source close to the Sussexes said: 'Meghan is very pleased with the video. In the UK everyone's reaction has been a bit prudish but everywhere else, particularly in America and especially with young people, it has been a huge hit.' Meghan is about to launch a series of new products as part of her As Ever line – including rosé wine. The source added: 'She and her team count it [the video] as a 'win', which can only be a boost for sales. Her new products are marketed at Americans and not at the UK market.' Her latest video release, on Friday, was a little less controversial. She posted footage of the two-day trip to Disneyland to celebrate Lilibet's fourth birthday. Lilibet met Elsa from Frozen while brother Archie, six, was thrilled to see a group of stormtroopers from Star Wars. The family also enjoyed rides including Space Mountain, Dumbo and Cars Land. There was also a Little Mermaid birthday cake for Lilibet. Afterwards, Meghan, 43, wrote on social media: 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!' Meghan launches her rosé wine in three weeks, joining stars including Brad Pitt, Drew Barrymore, Kylie Minogue and Sarah Jessica Parker, who all have lucrative alcohol lines. A source said: 'Meghan doesn't care about the haters in Britain calling her vulgar. Americans thought the twerking video was hilarious and relatable.' Social media lit up in the States with overwhelmingly positive comments. One fan wrote: 'When she pulls her dress up and drops it low I hollered. Yes Queen!' Another said: 'I love this. It's an incredibly sweet, silly and intimate look into their relationship, something I could never imagine they'd share (a look inside the hospital room of a royal baby's birth!) but I'm so happy they did.' Eric Schiffer, of Reputation Management Consultants, said: 'Meghan wants to connect with Gen Z which demands viral moments. She doesn't care about the UK because that's not where the money is. 'Brits have certain standards they expect of royalty. Americans don't care. To us it's a soap opera.' The duchess has made no secret of her love of wine, naming her pre-Harry blog The Tig after her favourite Italian red, Tignanello. Viewers of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan commented on how often she enjoyed a glass of wine with guests. The rosé will be sourced from grapes grown in California, close to the Sussexes' Montecito mansion. Jessica Gasca, who produces rosé for her company, Story Of Soil in nearby Los Olivos, said: 'The Santa Ynez Valley, in Meghan's backyard, is a prime location for growing all varietals because we have a mountain range that runs East-West with a microclimate that allows warm temperatures during the day for growth and cool ocean winds and fog at night to preserve the acidity. 'Meghan could be partnering with a good winemaker and putting her own label on their wine or she could go in and taste wines from a load of barrels and say 'I'll take this one and that one' and produce her own wine.' Winemaker Amber Hogan from Santa Barbara said: 'I haven't heard about Meghan getting into the wine business, which is surprising because it's a very small industry locally and we all talk.' Meghan launched As Ever in April in conjunction with Netflix, which airs her lifestyle show as part of a $100 million (£74 million) five-year deal. The source said: 'The rosé wine is only the first product in what she and Netflix hope will be a substantial alcohol range, which will include ready-made cocktails and luxury items like flower-infused gin. 'Expect the new products to include more jams like strawberry. She has been exploring lemon curd, which is a very English thing. It's not something most Americans know about.' Meghan has assumed the role of 'chief storyteller'. The source added: 'She has very clear views about the stories she wants to tell around her products. 'Each one means something to her, Harry and their kids and, of course, in Meghan's world everything is perfect.'

Buffy's Eliza Dushku reveals milestone in shock new career nearly 10 years after walking away from Hollywood
Eliza Dushku graduated with her master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Friday, June 6. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, 44, shared a video clip of her receiving her degree on stage and walking off with it. She also shared several photos to her Instagram Stories including one photo posing with her classmates all looking very happy to be done with their studies. 'Graduating with my master's degree (!!) feels like more than an achievement—it feels like a deep calling realized,' her caption began. 'True growth, energy, and passion—manifested. After nearly a decade of inner work and building a new life, I'm so grateful for this moment in time. 'To my highest self—for taking this wild leap away from everything I knew and making it happen. To my boys + ♥️—for the little sacrifices made & love you gave, each day to honor and support this dream.' She then went on to thank her 'family, friends—new and old—my colleagues/classmates, professors/teachers, and community.' 'I give thanks: for rooting me on, encouraging me day in and day out, and affording me the grace, strength, and space to step fully into these past years of clinical training. 'Today, I stand grounded and ready to support others on their journeys of becoming—through self-discovery, healing, and transformation. 'The connectedness I feel in holding safe, compassionate space for those who seek the undertaking is such lifeblood now,' her caption concluded. The post also featured a photo of her young kids' handwritten notes, which read 'Good Job Mommy' and 'I Love You Mom.' Alongside her husband, real estate developer Peter Palandjian, Eliza is funding groundbreaking research and clinical trials on the potential of psychedelics, according to 2024 interview in Boston Magazine. 'I had the means to shift directions and choose a course in my life that focused on healing myself so that I could help heal others. I would be remiss if I didn't now share the transformation and the peace and the passion that I have,' Dushku said. 'This is just absolutely so clearly my real calling, my real purpose,' she continued at the time. Dushku hasn't been seen on screen since 2017, when she appeared in Netflix's The Saint and played J.P. Nunnelly in CBS's Bull. That year, she stepped away from Hollywood after accusing her Bull co-star Michael Weatherly of sexual harassment. In the wake of the allegations, which Weatherly has denied, Dushku was written out of the show and told that her role as a series regular had been abruptly canceled. Mediation with CBS resulted in the network agreeing to pay Dushku a confidential settlement of $9.5million - roughly the amount she stood to earn if kept on the show for four seasons. Weatherly apologized for his behavior toward Dushku in a statement to the Times, saying: 'During the course of taping our show, I made some jokes mocking some lines in the script. 'When Eliza told me that she wasn't comfortable with my language and attempt at humor, I was mortified to have offended her and immediately apologized. 'After reflecting on this further, I better understand that what I said was both not funny and not appropriate and I am sorry and regret the pain this caused Eliza.' Dushku first rose to fame in 1998 when she was cast as Faith, the rebellious Slayer, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Her standout role as Faith, which she portrayed until 2003, earned her a devoted fanbase and solidified her status as a rising star in Hollywood. Dushku also starred in the hit cheerleading film Bring It On (2000), which became a cult classic. In her personal life, Eliza married Peter in 2018, and the couple has since welcomed two children. The family has since made a home in Boston, Eliza's birthplace, where they are enjoying life away from Hollywood.
