BEAUTY QUEENS I tried every top celeb's make-up brand – the must-have products including £24 lip paint that'll make your teeth white
THE world of beauty has always been big business, but in recent years it's become a goldmine for celebrities looking to expand their empires.
With devoted fans eager to emulate their flawless looks, A-Listers are swapping the stage and screen for skincare labs and make-up counters, launching products that promise everything from glowing skin to luscious locks.

Will celeb products make a difference to your makeup bag?

And it's paying off - just ask Hailey Bieber, who's now a billionaire after selling her cult-favourite skincare line, Rhode, to e.l.f. Cosmetics for a staggering £744million.
But with so many celeb-backed brands flooding the shelves, are these products worth the hype or just clever cash grabs?
Fabulous Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has tried them all, and reveals below the ONE item from each brand worth adding to your makeup bag.
LIP PAINT :
FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA

Fenty Stunna Lip Paint, £24, Boots
POP icon Rihanna changed the make-up landscape when she launched her brand Fenty Beauty with a fully inclusive shade range, forcing big brands to play catch up and making 40+ shade foundation ranges the bare minimum across the board.
As of last year it was the most popular celeb makeup line in the world, and RiRi has nailed more than base products.
Eight years on from its launch, Fenty Stunna Lip Paint remains the best matte lipstick on the market, and my number one pick from the brand.
If you don't think you suit red lipstick, the shade 'uncensored' will prove you wrong - it's a universal red that magically suits all skin tones, and delivers bold colour in one swipe that makes teeth look whiter - best of all, it stays put through just about everything.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Future Lash Mascara, £32, victoriabeckhambeauty.com
POP star, fashion designer, and now big-time beauty mogul, there's nothing VB can't do - and this era might just be her best yet.
The company has already reached cult status, despite launching less than 6 years ago, with one Satin Kajal eyeliner sold every 30 seconds.
Everything about the brand feels true to Posh - even the tortoiseshell packaging was inspired by a bowl in her kitchen - so I believe her when she says she's creating products she can't find but wants in her make-up bag.

Her Future Lash Mascara is testament to that - it separates and lengthens lashes, with a curved brush that lifts. Plus the formula doesn't smudge, but can be removed with warm water.
BRONZER :
KYLIE COSMETICS BY KYLIE JENNER

DESPITE being the youngest Kar-Jenner sister, and one of the youngest celebs to found a beauty brand - given she was only 17 when Kylie Cosmetics hit shelves a decade ago - the products within her eponymous brand feel anything but immature.
Kylie's Lip Kits, £29, Boots, had me in a vice-like grip a decade ago, when drops sold out in seconds and had to be shipped from the states.

Now, the brand is much more accessible - it can be found on the shelves at Boots - and more grown up too.
Kylie Pressed Bronzing Powder is a best-seller for a reason; the buttery formula blends out seamlessly, and the 6-strong shade range beats cult products like Benefit's Hoola Bronzer, £33, so you can find a tailored match - and you'll save a tenner!
LIP TINT :
RHODE BY HAILEY BIEBER

HAILEY Bieber's influence is undeniable - she's the modern day IT girl, and adored by millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha alike, with my 13-year-old niece just as obsessed with the brand as I am.

She has an impressive talent of being relatable - despite the actor dad and pop-star husband - and her 'girl next door' nature means she's nailed marketing her brand as she knows what consumers want.
Be it hydrating skincare, or a phone case that holds their lip balm. With mouth-watering names that evoke the senses - think 'donut skin' and 'glazing milk' - and bring life to a brand that can only be bought online.
If you're in the market for her signature fancy lip balm, skip Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment, £18, rhodeskin.com, in favour of Rhode Peptide Lip Tint, which delivers sheer colour and glossy shine with the same comforting formula, for the same price - so you're basically getting two products in one.
BLUSH : R

SINGER Selena Gomez has clearly put lots of time and money into Rare Beauty's considered launches - and since its hit shelves in 2020, the brand has gone from strength to strength to encompass everything from hand cream and hair perfume to highlighter.
The latest launch, Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush, £23, spacenk.com, which stays put all day – even on oily skin – is the best yet.
I usually prefer cream formulas, but this hybrid powder won me over from first use - combining the colour payoff of the viral Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, with a more user-friendly format.
One dollar of every single sale across the brand is donated to the Rare Impact Fund, a charity set up by Selena devoted to improving mental health, so I completely understand why it was named Time's Most Influential Company of 2024.
FOUNDATION :
HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA

Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation, £42, sephora.co.uk
IF you want seriously innovative, hard working make-up, Lady Gaga's Haus Labs is leading the way.
Their base products are in a league of their own. Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation, and Concealer, are self-setting, so you can wear them without powder and they won't budge or crease - making it as long-lasting as the iconic Estee Lauder Double Wear, £40, debenhams.com.
The creaseless technology is great for fine lines and wrinkles, as it won't settle into uneven skin, and both formulas are packed with skincare ingredients - including hydrating glycerin and squalane, brightening antioxidants and soothing cica, arnica and chamomile, so your skin will improve with prolonged wear.
BROW PENCIL :
REFY by JESS HUNT

MODEL and influencer Jess Hunt launched Refy in November 2020 with a collection of innovative brow products to help people recreate her famous arches, and it was an instant social-media hit.
Since then, the capsule collection has grown to include a full roster of make-up must-haves.
They're most famous for the no-budge wax-gel hybrid - Brow Sculpt, £18, refybeauty.com - but the original Brow Pencil, £16, refybeauty.com, is my personal favourite.
The colour deposits easily, but the pencil is thin enough to maintain hair like strokes, and it blends out easily so you can quickly wipe away mistakes. I first used it nearly five years ago, and keep going back!

PRIMER-HIGHLIGHTER :
CHARLOTTE TILBURY

IT'S rare for a single brand to excel in so many categories, but I'd expect nothing less from the detail-oriented, over-achieving founder.
It's hard to pick just one product - I'm wedded to their Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder, £39 and Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, £20 for setting my make-up - but I can't overlook the brand's Hollywood Flawless Filter.
For the uninitiated, there was nothing like it on the market when it launched; a primer-highlighter hybrid that makes skin instantly radiant without being greasy or glittery.
Advertisement
You can use it both under and over make-up, all over the face or on select areas like cheekbones to add dimension - so it's basically two products in one.
EYE SHADOW :
TRINNY LONDON BY TRINNY WOODALL

TRINNY Woodall has come a long way since she told us exactly What Not To Wear.
Though her background was in fashion, her beauty line, Trinny London, aimed at older women, has gained her a loyal fan base.

I didn't expect any of Trinny London's products to become a go-to at the age of 29, but I was wrong. Trinny London See The Light SPF 50+ Moisturiser, £46, John Lewis, is like no other SPF I've ever tried - there's no stickiness, greasiness or white cast, and it sits seamlessly under make-up, but it's her Eye2Eye shadows that really stand out.
The cream based formula can be applied straight from the pot with fingers, and glides over skin so there's no pulling or tugging, and no powder fall-out to ruin the rest of your make-up.
Once on, they don't crease or smudge, avoiding accidental panda-eyes - which is always a worry with my oily skin.
EYELINER :
VIEVE BY JAMIE GENEVIVE

FOUNDER Jamie Genevive started her career on an Estee Lauder make-up counter in Glasgow, before amassing over a million Instagram followers - largely thanks to her easy-to-follow make-up tutorials and down to earth attitude - and creating her name-sake brand.
Now founder and CCO, she's still as approachable to her followers, and knows what real women want from their make-up, so I trust her implicitly.
I was an eyeliner-phobe before meeting Vieve Power Ink Liner, £23, vievebeauty.com, but the tapered pencil and felt-tip nib make application seamless and precise (despite my unsteady hand), while the formula doesn't seep into fine lines around the eye, and stays put all day - win win!

Inside Dua Lipa's jaw-dropping Radical Optimism Tour as pop ‘goddess' wows fans ahead of sell out Wembley shows
Bizarre gets an exclusive invitation to the singer's Holland show… and it's amazing SO DAM GREAT Inside Dua Lipa's jaw-dropping Radical Optimism Tour as pop 'goddess' wows fans ahead of sell out Wembley shows DUA LIPA is riding the crest of an enormous wave – and there's no slowing down. After the singer flew me out to Amsterdam as the first British reporter to see her in action on the 80-date Radical Optimism world tour, I'm blown away by how much she's developed as a performer. Advertisement 6 Dua gets a lift on stage during her jaw-dropping performance Credit: Getty In each country so far, including Japan, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand, Dua is held up as a goddess by her fans. And in Amsterdam she gets a rapturous reception after speaking to the sell-out audience in Dutch — which is no easy task. 'Amsterdam is like a second home for us,' Dua's dad and manager Dugi tells me as we catch up over Negroni cocktails before the concert, where I congratulate him on the success of the shows so far. 'It's all for the fans,' he adds with a smile. 'We want them to come to the show and have a great time.' Advertisement It's impossible not to enjoy the two-hour set, in which Dua smashes her way through high-energy dance routines as pyrotechnics explode all around her and confetti falls from the ceiling. New tracks from her latest No1 album, including Training Season, End Of An Era and Falling Forever, go down a storm with the crowd as Dua whips into classics such as One Kiss and Be The One. By playing venues this size — more than 18,000 are at the Amsterdam show — Dua could be forgiven for putting all the focus on to her stage performance. But at every gig she goes into the audience to speak to her fans. Advertisement One sobbing boy, Mattice, can't believe his luck as Dua leans in for a hug, prompting her to joke: 'Please don't cry, we've only just started the show. It's not that bad is it?' Also among the lucky few are a couple due to marry in the next two days, and a superfan wearing a shark's head in a nod to the Radical Optimism album's artwork — with Dua saying as he takes it off: 'Oh, you're cute.' 'Shaken' Dua Lipa in terrifying security scare after fans sneak into her hotel and are found outside her bedroom Her good humour continues and after losing an impromptu game of truth or dare, she picks the latter and is asked to perform the original dance from One Kiss, which has become pop legend. Smiling for the cameras that beam her picture around the arena, Dua dutifully carries off the move and the crowd, who have been right behind her from day one, go absolutely bananas. Advertisement Back on stage, she then goes into Scared To Be Lonely in a tribute to her collaborator, DJ Martin Garrix, who is also watching in the crowd, before nailing Physical, Hallucinate and Illusion. The arena is transformed into a rave, with the audience hooked on every word, before Dua brings the focus on to her powerful vocals. 'You're cute' She makes light work of Be The One and Anything For Love — which is even more impressive given that she has spent 90 minutes going through physically demanding choreography while barely stopping for a break. The energy then fires back up to boiling point for an insanely good four-song encore of New Rules, Dance The Night, Don't Start Now and Houdini, with Dua's high- intensity just as impressive as at the start of the evening. Advertisement She has concerts in Italy and Belgium to go before she will return to the UK for two huge back-to-back shows at Wembley Stadium, on June 20 and 21, and two gigs at Anfield in Liverpool on June 24 and 25. The four dates will see her perform to more than 250,000 fans. It is an incredible comparison when you think that the first Wembley show will take place 3,000 days after her first ever live appearance in the capital, at the 250- capacity Oslo Hackney venue in East London. By the time Dua has finished the UK leg of the tour — before moving on to the US — she will have performed to almost one million people. Advertisement Rising pop stars should take note . . . Dua is living proof that you can become a superstar thanks to hard work, good grace and a bloody good voice. 6 Dua smashes her way through high-energy dance routines as pyrotechnics explode all around Credit: Getty SABRINA IN SHAWN DIG SABRINA CARPENTER has taken aim at her ex Shawn Mendes yet again in new single Manchild. Advertisement Their 2023 fling inspired much of her chart-topping album Short n' Sweet, but it is still giving her inspiration for songs, as she seemingly lays into the hunk on the track released yesterday. 6 Sabrina Carpenter took aim at her ex Shawn Mendes yet again Credit: Goff She sings: 'Half your brain just ain't there,' before adding: 'Why so sexy if so dumb? And how survive the Earth so long?' It is expected to be the first song from her next album, which is impressive given it has only been ten months since her last one came out. Advertisement When she announced the title, many fans believed it would be about actor Barry Keoghan, who she dated for a year until December. But in a caption on Instagram, she said she wrote the track shortly after completing work on Short n' Sweet, at which time she was still in love with Barry. Sabrina said: 'Not only was it fun to write, but this song became to me something I can look back on, that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life.' In another nod to Shawn, who is very close to his parents – while Barry's mum died when he was 12 – she sings: 'I choose to blame your mom.' Advertisement I doubt Mrs Mendes will be too pleased. MARIAH REVERTS TO TYPE 6 Mariah Carey has released her first track in seven years Credit: Dennis Leupold MARIAH CAREY is teaming up with visual genius Joseph Khan – the man behind her All I Want For Christmas Is You video – for new single Type Dangerous. She is preparing to film a vid to accompany the track, which came out yesterday. Advertisement It is the first she's put out in seven years and is the debut song from her upcoming 16th studio album. 'I'm so excited to finally be releasing Type Dangerous into the world,' Mariah, left, said. 'I've been locked up in the studio for quite some time working my behind off on new music, and I'm thrilled for the unveiling of it to my fans, starting with Type Dangerous.' Those going to Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard will hear her belt out the song at Wembley next Sunday, before she headlines Brighton Pride on August 2 and performs at the Sandringham Estate on August 15. Advertisement Welcome back, Mariah. We've missed you. OASIS ARE ROTTEN FOR JOHN 6 John Lydon won't be going to an Oasis reunion show Credit: Getty SEX PISTOLS rocker John Lydon says he's probably one of the only British music stars who'll be giving the Oasis reunion a wide berth. When I asked if he would be heading down to one of the shows, the singer, aka Johnny Rotten, told me: 'No. They're my mates but I hate their music. Advertisement 'It's very difficult for me to go to other people's gigs. People don't leave me alone and let me enjoy myself. 'I knocked it on the head a few years ago. I love dancing, you're enjoying yourself and some a***hole will stand right in front of you and waffle banal nonsense which is distracting you from the point and purpose.' Speaking to me from his tour of the UK with his band Public Image LTD, he added: 'I love Noel, because he just says it like it is. 'Him and Liam make me laugh when they do interviews because they are so witty and on it in a working class, quick-as-you can way.' Advertisement DIANA ON HIGH SEAS 6 Diana Ross's UK tour starts this month Credit: Getty DIANA ROSS is swapping arenas for the ocean waves, as godmother of Royal Caribbean's newest ship Star of the Seas. The title has been given to her as she's agreed to perform on the maiden voyage in September, when it will make its debut in Orlando. And Diana will be fresh from her UK tour, which starts this month. Advertisement The Chain Reaction singer said: 'I've always felt a deep connection to the ocean and the magic it represents – peace, adventure and awe. 'When Royal Caribbean reached out to invite me to be the godmother of Star of the Seas, I knew it was something truly special.' WELL done to the brilliant Anna Lapwood after her new album Firedove went straight to the top of the Classical Album Official Charts. The organist recorded it at Nidaros Cathedral in Norway and said: 'I'm very proud of it.'

Welsh star opens new local skatepark in Cardiff
A new 'destination' skatepark has opened in Llanrumney, with Dirty Sanchez' Matthew Pritchard cutting the ribbon at the long awaited facility and taking the first skate. Plans for the project were first announced by Cardiff Council three years ago as part of the council's Skateboard Amenities project that will see the city filled with new skateparks across the city over the next ten years, subject to funding. Work started on the new park in December 2024 and finally opened today - Friday, June 6. The East Side park in Llanrumney, next to the Eastern Leisure Centre, has multiple obstacles including ledges, rails, hubbas, manual pads, stairs, banks as well as a quarter pipe making it both fun and challenging for those looking to learn or hone their skating skills. The local skateboard community worked with consultants, VDZ+A and Newline Skateparks, to design the 1,000m2 skatepark. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here It has been designed to be suitable for skaters of all ages and abilities, and is built from concrete, providing a higher quality, lower maintenance and lower noise facility than the old timber-framed skatepark it replaces. Dirty Sanchez star and Welsh skateboarder, Matt Pritchard joined skaters to open the facility. He said: "It's what we need in Cardiff. I'm 52 now, and when I first started skateboarding, we had nothing in Cardiff, so to have facilities like this is amazing. "It's really good for the kids as well, especially now that skateboarding is in the Olympics and is being taken seriously. Fair play to Cardiff Council, they've done an amazing job, and it's nice to see them investing in skateboarding in Cardiff." Cabinet member for culture, parks and events, Cllr Jennifer Burke, said: "This is the first skate park to be built as part of our new skateboard strategy and it's already proving to be a real hit with the city's skate community. "The skate scene in Cardiff is really vibrant and diverse – you've got young children and teenagers, all the way through to older skaters who are now introducing their own kids to what is now an Olympic sport. The new East Side skate park is part of our long-term strategy to support and grow the skateboard community for years to come." Here are pictures of the new skatepark in Llanrumney.

Meghan & Harry keep cashing in by piggybacking off the royal family – it's disgusting, expert says
Despite trying to "reinvent themselves", the pair are yet to settle on a particular niche MONEY MAD Meghan & Harry keep cashing in by piggybacking off the royal family – it's disgusting, expert says MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry keep raking in money by "piggybacking off" the royal family, slammed a royal expert. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and quit the UK. Advertisement 6 A royal expert accused the Sussexes of piggybacking off the royal family Credit: Getty 6 The Duchess, 43, saw her Netflix show With Love, Meghan in March this year Credit: Netflix 6 Meghan corrected Mindy Kaling on her name in the docuseries Credit: AP The couple have since been embroiled in a bitter feud with the Firm. Harry, alongside his wife, has continued to drag his family name through the mud, from their 2021 Orpah interview to his 2023 memoir Spare. And, the latest blow to their fractured relationship came when the Duke of Sussex dropped some extraordinary bombshells in a BBC interview last month. He filmed a rare sit-down chat after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security. Advertisement But since turning their backs on the Royal Family, the Sussexes have also battled several stumbling blocks while trying to carve out their new identities. Meghan, 43, has this year released her latest Netflix series With Love, Meghan, in which she hosted Hollywood pals. Shortly after came the roll out of her brand As Ever, despite the company facing a series of setbacks. The mum-of-two then dropped her second podcast, Confessions Of A Female Founder. Advertisement Harry meanwhile has been busy working on his Polo documentary on Netflix, and as ever his Invictus Games. But despite trying to "reinvent themselves", the pair are yet to settle on a particular niche, experts blasted previously. I've dubbed Lilibet the 'jigsaw girl', Meghan's bizarre photos shows exactly why Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive Show, esteemed former royal correspondent Charles Rae accused the Duchess of still using the Royal Family for profit. "I've got no objections to Meghan and Harry making money," he told esteemed royal correspondent Bronte Coy. Advertisement "None whatsoever. However they want to operate now is fine. "It's their royal connections that really irritate me. And they're piggybacking off of that a great deal. 6 Meghan is also dropping weekly episodes on her new podcast Confessions of a Female Founder Credit: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex/Instagram 6 The couple have launched a barrage of attacks on the Royal Family since quitting the UK Credit: AFP Advertisement 6 The pair stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk "But I think Meghan is the one who's driving everything. "And I think she will eventually come a cropper with all this. "I mean, she says, 'I don't want to annoy the public'. Well, why not? Advertisement "She's annoyed everybody else. You know, I mean, you know, she's. she's a very annoying person in my view." But fellow expert Sarah Hewson, added: "I think it is in everyone's interest if she is able to make a success of this and make money off the back of this, because we know they've got a very expensive lifestyle, not least the security costs. "And Prince Harry just having lost that court of appeal case, it is in everyone's interest, the Royal Family included, if they are able to be self-sufficient, if they're able to build a life, Prince Harry can do his philanthropy. "Meghan can launch the business. I mean, I think that suits everybody." Advertisement Royal experts previously slammed Meghan for using her royal title on a gift card, telling her "you can't have it both ways". Meghan and Prince Harry agreed they wouldn't use their HRH titles after they broke from the royal family - but the Duchess of Sussex seemingly still uses it with her friends. But, in a recent podcast interview, a photo showed a gift basket of ice cream and strawberry sauce Meghan sent to Kern Lima a year ago. With it came a note on monogrammed paper, signed: "With the compliments of HRH the Duchess of Sussex." Advertisement Sources said that while Meghan and Harry do still have their titles, they agreed not to use them for "commercial purposes". The source said the note was a "personal gift" but the couple don't publicly use HRH. Meghan also awkwardly corrected her Hollywood pal Mindy Kaling on her cooking show. A timeline of Prince Harry's family feud IN 2018, the Sun told how "simmering tension The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace. Once she'd returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat. He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly. The younger prince reportedly didn't take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he "went mental". Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate. The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours. Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced. The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign. The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure - but added both couples will continue to work together in the future. Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born. The move further increased rumours of a fallout. Harry also hinted in his ITV documentary "Harry and Meghan, An African Journey" that he and his brother had grown apart. In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially. Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn't want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift. In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a "peacemaker" between the brothers. Harry claimed his brother "knocked him to the floor" during an argument about Meghan, in his memoir. In Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan "rude" and "difficult" during a row. Harry alleged William "grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor". He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time. In January 2024, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch's shock cancer diagnosis. Harry flew back to the US the following day - without seeing Wills. Mindy said: "People wouldn't believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box." Advertisement Meghan fired back with: "It's so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I'm Sussex now.' The late Queen Elizabeth II honoured Harry and Meghan the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their 2018 wedding. There have been calls for the couple to be stripped of the titles after blasting the royals on their Oprah Winfrey tell-all, six-part Netflix series Harry & Meghan and shock memoir Spare. The California-based pair have also attracted criticism for only visiting Sussex once when they held several engagements seven years ago. Advertisement This comes after the Sussexes were last night blasted for invading their own privacy after releasing a video of them twerking to induce labour. The mum-of-two posted a cringey hospital dance clip yesterday to celebrate daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday. It showed the former actress, heavily pregnant with their second child, making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside a bed. Prince Harry also shuffles across in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit The Baby Momma Dance. Advertisement Meghan shared the 80-second video with her three million followers on Instagram after earlier posting photos of her daughter. But royal expert Ingrid Seward last night said Meghan was a hypocrite as the couple regularly whine about a lack of privacy. She told The Sun: 'They can do what they like but why put it online? "Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it's vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking. Advertisement 'They make such a point about privacy and security and then they put stuff out there. Meghan can't resist putting it out there. 'I think it's completely hypocritical for everything she stands for. It's very embarrassing.'
