Well, on Tuesday, Piers, a controversial journalist and media personality, also attended the opening performance to see what all of the hype was about, and let's just say he was blown away. He took to X (better known as Twitter) to gush about "one of the greatest performances" he's ever seen.

So, imagine my surprise when he followed up on this tweet the next day, giving her a backwards compliment, insulting her, then offering unsolicited advice:
The "divisive woke preaching nonsense" comment is most likely referring to Rachel's outspoken support for Palestine, as well as her opinion on her live-action version of Snow White taking a more forward-thinking approach to the tale.

His comment generated a lot of attention, both from people who agreed with him and those who thought he should watch his words:

And to think, he could've just gave her a compliment and kept it moving, but nooooo. Anyway, if you're in London, you can catch Rachel in Evita until Sept. 6.

Harry ‘Hurt' by Meghan Using Princess Diana For a ‘PR Push'—'It's About Respect'
Prince Harry has some strong feelings about Meghan Markle's rosé. The Duke of Sussex noticed the release date coincides with a date that's close to his heart. Meghan Markle's As Ever brand will be releasing their first rosé on July 1, which is also Princess Diana's birthday. However, a source close to Harry said that he wasn't keen on the release date. 'He told her, 'Please, not on Mummy's birthday,'' a source told gossip mogul Rob Shuter. 'It wasn't about business — it was about respect.'

'She brushed him off,' another insider said. 'She told him, 'It's a wine launch, not a memorial.' It didn't land well.' The pushback reportedly didn't settle well with the Invictus Games founder. 'He's devastated,' a source told the gossip Substack. 'That day means everything to him. To see it turned into a PR push hurts.' The backlash online had piled up and eventually reached the Duchess herself. 'He warned her,' says one courtier. 'She just didn't listen.'In his memoir Spare, Prince Harry talked about the special significance of the date—which coincidentally, was the first time he reached out to his future wife. 'Eventually, we exchanged phone numbers and mitigated the conversation over to text, going late into the night,' Harry wrote. 'It occurred to me how uncanny, how surreal, how bizarre, that this marathon conversation should have begun on July 1, 2016. My mother's fifty-fifth birthday.' Meghan gushed about how her lifestyle brand has contributed to a reignited honeymoon phase with her husband. 'I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,' Meghan recalled to People about her lifestyle blog The Tig, which was active during the early stages of her relationship. 'It's almost like a honeymoon period again,' she continued, 'because it's exactly how it was in the beginning when he'd watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits and just really being in the details of it. I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process. It's just been fun. This is who I've always been.'

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's Latest Absence Speaks Volumes About His Relationship With King Charles After Reports He's ‘Stuck' in the Past
The King's unofficial birthday is always held in June 14, but one of his sons will be noticeably absent from the big event. According to NewsNation, it's confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won't be making an appearance during Trooping the Colour. It makes sense because the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not working royals and haven't lived in the UK since 2019. More from StyleCaster Where Charles Stands With Harry's Kids as William Goes After Archie & Lilibet For Their Father's 'Ultimate Windsor Crime' Princess Beatrice Seemingly Snubbed by Royal Family Amid Reports William Wants Her 'Disgraced' Dad Banished For those confirmed to stand on the balcony, the Express, reported that it's believed that Prince William, Princess Kate, and their three children will join Charles and Camilla on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the tradition. Charles will reportedly break Royal tradition by riding in a carriage rather than Prince Harry recently pleaded with his family to reconcile. 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has,' the Duke of Sussex said in an interview with the BBC about King Charles' cancer diagnosis. 'He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.' He also added that his father should be open to reconciliation and help solve his security problem. 'There is a lot of control and ability in my father's hands,' he said. 'Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him. Not necessarily by intervening, but by stepping aside, allowing the experts do what is necessary.' There seems to be no developed trust between Harry and his family. 'They're aware of everything going on in England, but they're being left out of the details — there's clearly no trust,' a source close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex couple told People. The source reported Meghan 'is very business about the situation,' while Harry was stuck in the past. An insider told NewsNationNow that Harry's constantly aware of his father's health. 'He also refused chemotherapy and decided on a less invasive treatment. While Harry and his dad aren't speaking, Harry would be aware of all of this via back channels.'

Charles Is Encroaching on Harry's Last Source of Income After Meghan Revealed Her ‘Fear' of Being Broke
It seems like every day there's a new chapter in the ongoing feud between Prince Harry and the rest of his family. News of King Charles' illness and the fact that Prince William doesn't seem at all inclined to reconcile with his brother have taken most of the spotlight, but every new development seems to throw doubt into the possibility of a quick reconciliation. The latest comes from Netflix itself. The streamer, who famously made a show about the British Royal family, which didn't exactly paint the now King Charles in the best of light, seems like an odd partner for the King of England. But that's exactly what's happening, as King Charles is collaborating with actor Idris Elba on a documentary about The King's Trust, a charity Charles founded in 1976 to establish grants and initiatives for economically and socially vulnerable populations. More from StyleCaster 'Hurt' Charles Also Facing Issues With 'Insensitive' William as Harry Feud Progresses Beyond Repair Queen Camilla Just Made a Rare & Subtle Nod to Princess Diana Years After Her Charles Cheating Scandal Related: Here's what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth Elba was a recipient of one of those grants as a teenager. The actor's The Elba Hope Foundation announced a joint effort with The King's Trust last year, with the documentary seemingly an expansion of the relationship set to celebrate the organization's 50th anniversary. 'The King's Trust gave me an opportunity that changed my life,' Elba said in a statement. 'At a time when I didn't have the resources to pursue my ambitions, they offered real, practical support—including financial help—that helped me take those first steps to advance my career.' Meanwhile, as for King Charles, a Buckingham Palace aide said in a statement that, 'The King is pleased for The Trust to have this wonderful opportunity to showcase their work to a global audience.' The news means King Charles will be joining his son, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle on the Netflix roster. The two have a deal with the streaming giant, which has seen the streamer air both a documentary about the two and a lifestyle show featuring Meghan Markle titled With Love, Meghan. News of the documentary involving King Charles comes as Markle got candid about money while speaking to billionaire Spanx founder Sara Blakely on an episode of the podcast 'Confessions of a Female Founder,' speaking about her 'fear' of not having enough money and confessing she would love to have a healthier mindset about it. 'So many women, especially, we're taught to not even talk about money,' Markle said. 'And there's lots of guilt mentality surrounding having a lot.' Markle also talked about how it's all too 'easy' to believe financial security is out of reach, 'And at the same time, there's a scarcity mindset that it's easy to attach to, of like 'I'll never have enough.' Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's net worth is reportedly somewhere around $60 million. And their Netflix deal is set to bring more income for the two for years to come, even if the streaming giant will also now feature a documentary starring King Charles. Netflix, it seems, doesn't really care about family feuds. All content is good content.
