Like Prince Harry, I've been lobster-shamed
The big reveal in the new trailer for Netflix's With Love, Meghan — the second season of the Duchess of Sussex's cookery and lifestyle show — is that Prince Harry won't touch lobster. In the clip, Meghan is seen preparing a seafood dish, in the rented California house close to her and Harry's Montecito mansion where the TV series is filmed, when she casually mentions to José Andrés, a celebrity Spanish-American chef, and says: 'You know who doesn't like lobster?' 'Who?' says Andrés. 'My husband,' Meghan says, dropping the news like a bombshell — or a helpless crustacean into a pan of boiling water. 'And you married him?' the chef retorts, while Meghan falls about laughing. But don't worry, Harry, you're not alone. I, too, have been shamed for not eating lobster. Last week, during a Greek getaway, I was invited to dinner at a fancy beach restaurant in Zakynthos when a huge specimen was brought out of the tank to our seafront table, the waiter presumably thinking he'd spare us the trouble of walking to pick one ourselves. But he made a terrible faux pas. As it tried to move its legs and claws, which had been bound tightly, my kids screamed. Our meal quickly descended into a horror show with floods of tears. As diners at nearby tables turned around to watch, I could tell they thought my children were just badly behaved. I tried to calm the kids down as the waiter retreated, sending the lobster back to the tank. My friend had wanted to order lobster for us all as a treat, but the whole episode only left a bad taste. I'd always thought that lobsters screamed when they were boiled, which was also off-putting. However, the reality is far worse. They suffer in silence. That shrill, high-pitched sound you hear if you're close enough to the kitchen — often mistaken for a scream — is steam escaping through pores in the shell as the organs boil. But this was not the first time I've been looked down on for not eating lobster. I always feel embarrassed when I say 'No, thanks' — lobster-shamed, you could say. When I politely refuse, other diners assume I'm just a picky eater — but I'm doing it on principle. My local fish shop in Notting Hill sells 'Live Scottish Native Lobster' from £59, which you can take home alive, to do whatever the hell you like with, no questions asked. It's barbaric. According to a 2023 YouGov poll, 61 per cent of the British public think it is unacceptable to cook decapod crustaceans, such as crabs and lobsters, by boiling them while they are still alive. For Harry, it's unclear whether his aversion to lobster is on moral grounds, or — more likely — a long-accepted family tradition: the royals usually steer clear of shellfish to avoid the possibility of food poisoning. But it's not a hard and fast rule. Former royal chef Darren McGrady offered confirmation that the royals 'do actually eat shellfish' when he shared on social media a royal menu from a 1989 banquet at Windsor Castle that shows that the late Queen dined on soufflé de homard, for starters Whatever Harry's reasons for not eating lobster — and, as a friend of Sir David Attenborough, he will doubtless be aware of it being a cruel culinary practice — he shouldn't be made to feel like a misfit. In countries like Switzerland, Norway, and New Zealand, it is illegal to boil lobsters without stunning them first, usually either by an electrical shock or by chilling them in cold air or an ice slurry to minimise suffering. In the UK, lobsters and other decapod crustaceans are now recognised as sentient beings, under the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Act 2022. The law was introduced after a report by the LSE found compelling scientific evidence of the levels of pain and distress these creatures can experience. Yet, somehow, boiling them alive remains legal. It's a cruelty we can no longer ignore — and we should thank Meghan for inadvertently drawing our attention to it. If one good thing comes out of her Netflix series, let it be that she has given poor crustaceans a voice.

More than stars, a desert night to remember in Al Qua'a
There are nights in the desert when the stars put on a dazzling display, glittering like diamonds scattered across the sky. Our evening with Arabian Wanderers in Al Qua'a desert wasn't quite like that. The stars were shy, peeking out only occasionally through the hazy clouds. But here's the twist: the lack of a sparkling sky didn't take away from the magic of the experience. If anything, it made every other element shine brighter. The journey The trip began with a drive that felt like part of the adventure itself. Leaving Dubai behind, we wound through highways that soon melted into open desert roads, dunes rising up on either side. The fading sun painted the sand in golden and rose hues, turning the journey into something cinematic. By the time we reached Al Qua'a, the horizon stretched endlessly, vast and breathtaking. The setting Even without a canopy of stars, the desert setting was unforgettable. Golden dunes rolled on in every direction, silent and serene. A crisp breeze carried with it a sense of calm you don't often find in city life. Standing there, you felt dwarfed by nature's scale, the kind of perspective only the desert can give. The activities From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn't just about stargazing. First came sandboarding, a thrill that had us racing and tumbling down slopes of soft sand, laughter echoing across the dunes. It's important to note that we went on this adventure during one of the hottest weekends in the UAE, yes, crazy, but well worth it. As twilight deepened, we gathered around a fire, playing games and sharing stories, a group of strangers quickly feeling like old friends. From Portuguese to Spanish, British English to Urdu, the circle felt like a little United Nations in Al Qua'a as people bonded and showed off their competitive side. Dinner was a hearty barbecue feast of meats like beef, chicken and some local gems like tabbouleh. Plates filled with grilled meats, fresh salads, and warm bread were devoured under the night sky which was filled with stars, until they got shy and went into hiding. An astronomer's talk rounded out the evening, guiding us through constellations we couldn't quite see but could vividly imagine, blending science with mythology in a way that brought the cosmos alive. The host At the heart of it all was our host, Rizwan Ali. Charismatic, attentive, and endlessly knowledgeable, he kept the group engaged and comfortable. His ability to transform what could have been a disappointment into an evening full of joy speaks volumes. The experience Yes, we saw some stars, but not nearly as many as we'd hoped. Who would have known that you can't order stars around and ask them to appear, but that's the beauty of this experience – you know never know what to expect. The desert gave us so much more: the rush of sandboarding, the warmth of a fire under the night sky, the delicious taste of barbecue, and the camaraderie of shared adventure. In the end, the stargazing trip turned out to be about more than stars, it was about connection, nature, and the unexpected magic of the desert. Stargazing or not, Arabian Wanderers delivers an adventure worth taking. For anyone craving something different, this is a night out in the desert you won't forget.

APM Monaco's summer glow takes over the season with radiant elegance
Influencers Zainab Al Alwan, Loujain Adada, and Mariam Hussein bring the essence of the French Riviera to life in Collection Été This summer, APM Monaco has unveiled its much-anticipated Collection Été, and it's already being embraced by some of the Middle East's most stylish women. Influencers Zainab Al Alwan, LJ Loujain Adada, and Mariam Hussein have been spotted wearing key pieces from the collection, proving once again why APM Monaco remains at the forefront of fashion jewelry. The new collection captures the warmth and vibrancy of the South of France, a place that has long inspired the brand's identity. Each design channels the effortless elegance and inviting charm of Mediterranean summers in golden light, serene beaches, and the relaxed sophistication of coastal living. At the heart of Collection Été is Les Galets, the French word for pebbles. These smooth, rounded forms echo the natural coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, reflecting the tranquil rhythm of waves meeting stone. By incorporating these organic shapes into necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, APM Monaco has created jewelry that feels both contemporary and timeless. The pieces embody the laid-back yet polished lifestyle that defines the French Riviera. Another recurring motif is the sunshine ray, a subtle design element that symbolizes the region's radiant golden light. These motifs, understated yet striking, bring a brightness and joy to the collection, while palm tree silhouettes add a touch of tropical elegance. Together, these elements transport the wearer to the promenades of the Côte d'Azur, where the interplay of light and shadow creates a scene of endless summer. To enhance the collection's summer spirit, APM Monaco has incorporated seasonal stones such as turquoise and malachite. Their bold, refreshing hues contrast beautifully with the warm glow of yellow gold, adding vibrant pops of color that make each piece a statement in itself. Whether worn casually during the day or styled for evening elegance, the collection is designed to be versatile, easy to wear, and perfect for mixing and matching. This versatility was on full display as Zainab Al Alwan, Loujain Adada, and Mariam Hussein styled the collection in their own unique ways. Zainab highlighted the collection's playful side, pairing turquoise accents with effortless summer looks. Loujain brought out the collection's timeless elegance, demonstrating how easily the pieces complement more formal styling. Meanwhile, Mariam showcased the jewelry's bold, trend-forward edge, wearing standout designs that captured attention while remaining refined. Together, the three influencers exemplify what APM Monaco stands for: a brand that merges fashion with lifestyle, elegance with accessibility, and luxury with everyday joy. APM Monaco is not just jewelry; it's a feeling. The brand has long described itself as 'chic, fashion, and smile,' and with Collection Été, that spirit shines brighter than ever. From its roots in Monaco to its presence across global fashion hubs, APM has built a reputation as a leader in the silver jewelry market, celebrated for its creativity and craftsmanship. With this latest collection, the maison once again captures the essence of summer and offers jewelry lovers around the world a way to carry a piece of the French Riviera with them, wherever they go.
