Meghan Markle Views Viral Twerking Video as a ‘Win' Despite Royals' Criticism, Say ‘Sources'
Meghan Markle's new twerking video has gone viral, and the Duchess of Sussex and her team members reportedly identify it as a 'win.' Although the video allegedly faced major criticism from the royals, Meghan seemed to have looked past it as she went on to enjoy a fun trip to Disneyland with her family. She recently shared a video from the trip on Instagram. 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!' read the caption of the post.
On June 4, Meghan Markle took to Instagram to post a throwback video featuring herself and her husband, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex. The clip showed the Duchess of Sussex breaking into a dance and making twerking moves during the time she was pregnant and was about to welcome her daughter Lilibet. Viewers could also see Prince Harry showing off his dance moves. The dancing took place inside the delivery room.
In the post's caption, Meghan explained the entire situation in the clip. She penned, 'Four years ago today, this also happened.' She continued, 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates.' The Duchess of Sussex added, 'So when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!'
As reported by the Daily Mail, a 'source' told them that the royals are not happy with the delivery room video. The person said that 'There is a general sense [in the Palace] that 'Meghan Markle and Prince Harry' have lost it.' They also added that the clip has caused 'a lot of raised eyebrows' among the royals.
However, despite all the alleged criticism from the royals, Meghan is reportedly really happy with the twerking video on Instagram. Another 'source' told the news outlet, 'In the UK, everyone's reaction has been a bit prudish.' The person continued, 'But everywhere else, particularly in America and especially with young people, it has been a huge hit.' 'She (Meghan) and her team count it (the video) as a 'win', which can only be a boost for sales,' the 'insider' added.

Charles Jeffrey Loverboy Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Studio One at Abbey Road Studios has undoubtedly seen a lot of diva rockstar behavior in its storied history, but perhaps nothing quite the likes of what Charles Jeffrey had going on there yesterday afternoon. There was Francesco Risso dancing around with his head painted gold, someone wielding a soft trumpet made of glitter, and band members playing a set in Charles Jeffrey Loverboy tartan suits, plus Genesis Webb, Lyas, and various models coming and going across the set, all while the designer himself directed proceedings dressed in a white coat and Horrors wig. This was not a fashion show, but a happening with friends of the house—like Marni's Risso, who Jeffrey calls 'a mentor of mine'—although there was an actual sound recording going on as well. 'We're reiterating to the world around us that Loverboy is more than just clothes,' said the eternally shape-shifting Jeffrey, who was last seen as an almost Weimar Republic ringmaster of a queer wrestling match at Dover Street Market in January, and is now manifesting as an early Noughties skinny-jeaned, pointy-shoed indie rocker. In fact, though, the designer's been dabbling in music since fall 2022, when he cut a souvenir vinyl record with his friend Tom Furse of the Horrors. So in a way, yesterday's fashion and music session was a kind of reunion (Furse brought the muses together), or to put it another way, an amplification of the brand's roots in putting on a performance and making a lot of noise about it. The collaboration with Abbey Road Studios, Jeffrey said, took the form of sifting through the extraordinary archives with his team, looking at photos of artists and musicians who made legendary albums and movie soundtracks, beginning in the 1930s and famously taking in the Beatles in the '60s, to the present. Stuff has changed for this major cultural institution, though, what with digital technology meaning kids can create and record music on their laptops. So now, it seems, collaborative links are being forged with new-generation thought-leaders like Jeffrey. He was talking this over 'backstage,' in front of a giant mixing desk. 'Kate Bush mixed her album in here! And the Beatles recorded exactly where we are in Studio One today.' Positioning his brand as music-adjacent is just a commercially useful extension to reach further into the international markets that he's been growing organically, he said, as he ticked off K-Pop fans, rappers in North America, and Japanese 'Anglomania' customers on his fingers. 'I have to expand and put my roots in places that feel authentic. Fashion is an art form that people can create from any inspiration, but it can also indulge in expressing itself in other spaces as well.' But anyway, how did all of that influence this season's looks? 'I was listening to some of the tracks recorded at Abbey Road. I always listen to music when I'm designing,' Jeffrey said. He described it as a form of synesthesia , the condition where sound can be visualized as shapes or colors. Perhaps there was something sound-wavy going on on the giant cable knit mini-dresses, the flared trumpet-y trousers, or the flipped-out curled hem of a gold glitter dress which was perhaps a meeting of a '50s crooner's cocktail dress and a banana? The banana became a CJL emblem and in-joke when he put a pair of banana boots—a tribute to the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly—into his fall 2024 collection. It's been the same with the business in cute animal character beanies, woolly crowns, and sailor caps which Jeffrey started to play with just for fun around 2022. That's now a major category for his brand today, plus the knitwear, which this season includes a souvenir sweater with a big violin on its front. After over 10 years on the scene, these are the riffs that Jeffrey happily keeps playing.

Ricky Gervais Working On New Netflix Project With ‘After Life' Co-Stars
Ricky Gervais said he's partnering with some of his After Life and Derek co-stars for a new animated project at Netflix. The standup comedy great and BAFTA- and Emmy-winning writer-director-actor mentioned the project during a livestream on X on Sunday when a viewer asked if he'd be working with actor David Earl again in a drama/comedy. Earl was a series regular in Gervais' After Life and Derek, and also appeared in an episode of Extras. 'I am. I'm doing something with him at the moment,' Gervais said. 'In fact, half the gang from After Life and Derek [are in it]. I'm working with David Earl, Diane Morgan, Kerry Godliman, Tom Basden, Jo Hartley … Andrew Brook, Tony Way — they're all voices in a new animation [project]. I'm still working on it for Netflix.' Gervais wrote, directed and starred in all three seasons of After Life as Tony, a writer for the newspaper the Tambury Gazette in the fictional English village of Tambury. Throughout the series, Tony struggles with the loss of his wife, Lisa (Godliman), to breast cancer as he revisits their home movies together on his laptop. Earl played Brian in After Life, a lonesome loser who wants to be featured in Tambury Gazette, while Morgan and Way play Tony's co-workers Kath and Lenny. Basden also stars as Tony's boss and brother-in-law Tom, who is Lisa's brother. Hartley plays Lenny's girlfriend, June, while Brook plays an obnoxious podcaster named Ratty. During his livestream on X on Sunday, Ricky Gervais didn't give any more details about his upcoming animated project for Netflix, nor did he reveal if it was a film or a series. Gervais did note, however, how long the process for an animated project could stretch out. 'I found some of the original sketches that I did from like September of 2023,' Gervais said, adding, 'It's mental. It takes so long.' Gervais, who famously torched several celebrity egos while hosting the 2020 Golden Globes also said of the animated project, 'It's good. It's different.' He also noted to the user who asked the question that he couldn't speak any further of what it was about. Meanwhile, Gervais, who is no stranger to voice acting, is connected to the upcoming Illumination Entertainment animated comedy adventure Flanimals. Gervais is listed on IMDb as one of the writers of Flanimals, along with Matt Selman (The Simpsons) and Rob Steen. IMDb only lists Illumination — the animated studio behind the Despicable Me/Minions franchise — as the producer of Flanimals, so it's unlikely the Netflix project that Gervais was talking about in his livestream. Per IMDb, the logline for Flanimals reads, 'Fifty species of creatures are so ugly and misshapen they become cute and endearing. One of these creatures, a pudgy, perspiring purple creature, goes on a mission to change the world.' While fans are awaiting Ricky Gervais' new animated Netflix project, they can stream all three seasons of After Life on the platform as well as Derek's two seasons. Gervais' standup comedy specials Armageddon, Supernature and Humanity are also streaming on Netflix.

'Highest figures ever for Worcester Festival'
LAST Friday was the deadline for events for the Worcester Festival brochure. You can still register events which will go on the website at There are some amazing stats which will tell you what's happening between August 9 and 25 — 1,102 events in 197 different venues with 786 of them free. They are the highest figures ever for the festival and we are delighted. The brochure will be out at the beginning of July, available from Worcester Tourist Information Centre and Chapel and Friary Shopping Centre as well as many leaflet racks around the city. More: City retirement village joins national campaign More: Gold award for city travel company More: National recognition for city franchise There has been a huge increase in recent years of awareness about depression, loneliness and mental health. It used to be very much about the specific problems related to the individual but I, for one, find myself getting really depressed about how the world is, over which I have no control. Who can look at what is happening in Gaza, in Ukraine, with the USA with Donald Trump in charge and at home with the National Health Service, the big rise in child poverty, increasing numbers of homeless — and of course global warming? And the problem is that everything seems to be getting worse rather than better. I have a wonderful partner, a lovely house and live in a great city. Yet I still sometimes have really bad days, related to what is happening in the world rather than my personal circumstances. My formative years were in the 1960s and 70s. It all seemed much simpler then. Our columnist Chris Jaeger MBE is director of the Worcester Festival and managing director of On A Role which specialises in touring small-scale theatre nationally and internationally.
