Meghan Markle sports more than £237,000 worth of jewellery and crisp white shirt to cook bizarre pasta recipe ahead of new season of downgraded Netflix show
Meghan Markle opted for more than £237,000 worth of jewellery while whipping up a pasta dish on Tuesday. The Duchess of Sussex, who resides in Montecito, appeared to be in high spirits as she flaunted her opulent jewellery collection on her latest Instagram video. The mother-of-two, 44, wanted to show her four million social media followers a pasta recipe, which included homemade preserved lemons. Getting into the Italian spirit, she set the clip to Annette Funicello's Mia Cara, Mia Amore and showed off her cooking prowess by dicing up the fruit along with garlic and basil all while being weighed down by her impressive stack of gold accessories. While most home chefs will remove their gems before getting stuck in, Meghan decided to cook up a storm in her diamonds, gold Cartier jewellery and her weighty engagement ring. On one hand, the former senior royal - who wore a crisp white shirt to cook her Mediterranean dish - sported Princess Diana 's Cartier Tank Française watch, worth £17,800 ($24,020), which was gifted to her after she married Prince Harry. She stacked this on top of her 18-carat gold Cartier Love bracelet which retails for around £7,050 ($9,513). The bracelet's screw motif symbolises eternal love, with a unique closure that locks around the wrist, representing lasting commitment. Meghan was also seen wearing her £2,370 ($3,197) Jennifer Meyer mini bezel tennis bracelet, which is handcrafted from polished 18-carat yellow gold and was designed by Tobey Maguire's ex-wife. Viewers may have clocked a sizeable jewel glistening on the former actress' finger. This is her £120,000 ($161,922) engagement ring which Prince Harry used to propose to her in 2017, a year before they married. He designed a bespoke engagement ring, featuring a cushion-cut diamond from Botswana, symbolising their first holiday together. The ring also included two smaller round diamonds from Princess Diana's personal collection, ensuring his late mother's presence in their journey. Initially crafted by Cleave & Company, Queen Elizabeth's trusted jeweller, the ring featured a simple gold band and was valued at around £120,000. However, less than two years later, Harry commissioned Lorraine Schwartz to resize and reset the ring with a new diamond band, which Meghan first wore at Trooping the Colour in 2019. Meghan stacked this on top of her £10,000 ($13,493) wedding band, which was crafted from Welsh gold and was gifted to her from the late Queen, as in keeping with royal tradition. Meghan was also seen donning her eternity ring, which retails for £80,000 ($107,947), and first caught the eye of royal watchers when she first wore it in 2019. Placed alongside her wedding band and engagement ring, the eternity ring holds deep personal meaning as it was a gift from Harry to mark their first wedding anniversary. Crafted with conflict-free diamonds, the ring features the birthstones of Meghan, Archie and Harry, subtly set on its underside: a green peridot, green emerald and blue sapphire. She sported Princess Diana's Cartier Tank Française watch, her 18-carat gold Cartier Love bracelet and her Jennifer Meyer mini bezel tennis bracelet in the clip All of the timelessly elegant pieces Meghan wore in the video to cook her Italian dish added up to an eye-watering £237,220 ($320,091). Meghan was filmed pouring all of the ingredients into a £170 Titanium Always Pro Pan from Our Place before dishing it up on a plate, adding a touch of olive oil and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. She captioned her video: 'Cooking up more than pasta (with homemade preserved lemons)…..so much goodness is coming soon.' This is a nod to her upcoming second season of her Netflix cooking and lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, which will be released on 26 August. The upcoming show will see the Duchess host her friends to a rented house near her Montecito mansion, for privacy reasons. Model and TV star Chrissy Teigen is arguably the biggest name due to appear on With Love, Meghan, but there has been controversy because of the Sussexes' campaigning on online safety and Chrissy's 'mean girl' past that led to her apologising for bullying several people on Twitter. Queer Eye star Tan France, a vocal supporter of the Sussexes, also appears alongside the less well known Jay Shetty and his wife Radhi Devlukia. Meghan's make-up artist friend Daniel Martin is back and her pilates instructor Heather Dorak. There are a number of chefs including Samin Nosrat, Christina Tosi, Jose Andres, David Chang and Clare Smyth - who cooked at the Sussexes' 2018 wedding. This comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a new 'multi-year, first look deal for film and television projects' with Netflix - a downgrade on their previous contract. The couple's new output will include a second season of the Duchess's 'With Love, Meghan' lifestyle show later this month, as well as a Christmas special in December. The new arrangement is a first-look deal, meaning Netflix can say yes or no to new film or TV projects before anyone else. The Sussexes are also working on 'Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within' - a documentary about orphaned children in Uganda, where the 'shadows of the HIV/Aids crisis linger'. There is also 'active development' on other projects with Netflix which 'span a variety of content genres', including an adaptation of romantic novel Meet Me At The Lake. Netflix has already released the first series of With Love, Meghan as well as Polo, Heart of Invictus, Live to Lead and the couple's bombshell documentary Harry & Meghan as well as being a business partner on Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever. Five years ago, Harry and Meghan secured a lucrative contract thought to be worth $100million (£74million) with Netflix after quitting as senior working royals in 2020. The renewed deal was described by the Sussexes - who made the announcement with Netflix - as 'extending their creative partnership' through Archewell Productions. But the new terms are understood to be worth less for Harry and Meghan than their previous contract, according to a person familiar with the deal, and represent Netflix loosening its ties with the couple.

Love as a business deal? Whales, unicorns and why Materialists and Anora have a lot in common
'Marriage is a business deal and it always has been.' So says Dakota Johnson's Lucy, an elite Manhattan matchmaker in Celine Song's second feature, Materialists. Lucy may be a modern woman, but her world looks eerily similar to the marriage mart of Jane Austen's day. For Lucy and her clients, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Or rather, a 'high quality woman', as Lucy would unironically put it. Materialists drops us head first into a world where coupling off with a partner is a purely financial endeavour; where foolish notions of love are not merely ignored, but deemed to be irrelevant; where women must choose passion or practicality. If all of this sounds rather archaic or even regressive, that's because it is. And Song knows it. After all, she frequently cites Jane Austen, specifically Pride and Prejudice, as one of her biggest inspirations for the film: 'What an amazing fantasy Pride and Prejudice is, because in that story, the love of your life is also the answer to all your practical problems,' she said to Curzon. Just as this year's best picture winner Anora was widely viewed as the anti-Pretty Woman for flipping the fantasy of the rich-guy-falls-for-sex-worker-and-whisks-her-out-of-poverty on its head, Materialists functions as a sort of anti-Pride and Prejudice. As Song notes, Austen's beloved novel offers a similar fantasy: that the man you love might also be the answer to your practical financial problems. In Materialists, as in Anora, the fantasy doesn't quite play out. Not that Lucy is naive enough to expect it to. No, this heroine is all practicality and sense. 'I will die alone or marry a rich man,' she says with resignation at the beginning of the film. This businesslike approach to love doesn't just come from her day job: she has been burned by passionate love in the past: her ex-boyfriend John is a 37-year-old waiter who, despite having the face of Chris Evans, can't seem to make it as an actor. She gets her chance at the dream marriage of convenience when she meets Harry, an uber rich guy who seems nice enough and has a $12m apartment. He is, her colleague says enviously, a 'unicorn'. This is another unexpected echo of Anora – when Ani, a sex worker looking for a way out of poverty, meets and marries a wealthy young Russian, Vanya, her colleague, also envious, snarks, 'Oh, you caught your whale'. Each of these reverse fantasies are driven by heroines who are adamantly uninterested in romance. It marks new territory. Even in Austen's day, heroines clung to the fantasy of a love match despite the practical realities of their time. And we progressed from there. The early screwball romcoms of the 1930s and 40s brought us headstrong heroines, while the 80s and 90s screen romances were filled with 'working girls' who were independent, self-sufficient women. Now, it seems, we are entering a new era defined by heroines who openly, proudly proclaim their desire for a practical match – an era of young women who have given up on love. Fascinatingly, this is playing out in the real world, too. For a generation of young heterosexual women, a 'unicorn' or a 'whale' is seen as the ultimate prize. 'Watching Materialists when the poor man propaganda wins and Lucy picks a broke 37-year-old failed actor over rich, loving Harry who would give her the world,' one person wrote in a TikTok video in response to Materialists that scored more than 22,000 likes. 'I will not fall for broke guy propaganda, she fumbled hard,' another wrote – also liked more than 22,000 times. I can't help but recall last year's 'looking for a man in finance' TikTok trend. Young women are also reappraising certain female characters who were once judged for their practical approach to love. Meredith Blake, the gold-digging villain of the 1998 The Parent Trap who threatens to stand in the way of true love, now has a new troop of young fans who think she was an 'icon', actually. 'Maturing is realising that Meredith just knew [sic] what she deserves and wouldn't settle for less' – TikTok again. Then there's the growing idolisation of the money-oriented Amy March, kickstarted by Greta Gerwig's 2019 adaptation of Little Women. Gerwig put the character's motivation into words: 'Don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't an economic proposition because it is. It may not be for you, but it most certainly is for me.' But wait. Little Women and Pride and Prejudice were written years ago when women often really did need to marry well to escape their circumstances. Why is this resonating with young women now? Haven't we moved on? Wasn't decades of feminism meant to dig us out of this reliance on men and marriage? Why are Lucy and Ani and, it would seem, tens of thousands of young women on TikTok, thinking and operating as if they were characters in a Victorian novel? What, in other words, is going on? Song has some ideas. 'I think it has so much to do with how deeply broken our economic systems are, especially in the US,' she said in a recent Guardian interview. 'As we have learned, the American dream is not achievable. You cannot jump your class. But what's one of the few ways that you can still jump your class? Well, marriage.' It's all rather cold and depressing. Thankfully, though, while these films may be reflecting a real, somewhat unsettling cultural shift, they defy the philosophy that romance is merely a business deal. They stand up for love. Lucy finds her 'unicorn' and Ani gets her 'whale' – but each 'love' story ends in disappointment. Lucy has to face up to the fact that she does need a little love in her life, actually – even if it means forgoing the nice restaurants. Meanwhile, Ani is confronted with the reality that Vanya doesn't love her or even respect her enough to stand up for their marriage once his oligarch parents arrive to break them up. In each film, the third act delivers relief in the form of real human connection. Love does matter – even, and perhaps especially, in our increasingly money-obsessed world. And cinema is still fighting for it.

Why the new Amanda Knox TV drama is misguided
Another grating element is the way the story is overlaid by the kind of irreverent millennial narration, from Van Patten as Knox, which recalls other recent true-crime dramatisations such as Inventing Anna or Apple Cider Vinegar. In trying to ape the style of these other "lighter" shows, it takes away from the severity of the actual case in hand. The wave of 'reclaiming' narratives However, after the gross injustice of being framed for a murder you didn't commit, it's understandable why Knox would want to put the story straight once more – and "reclaim" her narrative. This is something which a host of pop culture documentaries, podcasts and dramatisations have purportedly helped famous women to do over the past decade, casting a new light on '90s female celebrities and figures like Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson, Monica Lewinsky and Tonya Harding, who were caught up in scandals that saw them demonised in a public forum. Even in the short tribute to Kercher at the end of the series, Knox is once again the main focus Interestingly, Lewinsky is an executive producer on The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, alongside Knox herself, having co-produced Ryan Murphy's 2021 miniseries Impeachment: American Crime Story, which retold the story of her affair with the then US President Bill Clinton from her perspective. Some of these projects, like the Lewinsky drama, have been done with the involvement of their subjects, and some, like Hulu's Pam and Tommy, about Pamela Anderson's sex tape scandal, have been done without. However as Jessica Bennett asked in The New York Times of this whole sub-genre of "reclaiming the narrative" productions: "It is no secret that humans love consuming spectacle – and we doubly love a spectacle when it involves women and sex. But at what point does the fictional depiction of that spectacle, and our viewing of it, become just as bad as watching it in the first place?" Knox has said that the series is intended to highlight that the real killer was Guede, which is valid point – given that Guede was given a "fast track" trial and convicted for the murder out of the public eye, without being subjected to the same intense media scrutiny as Knox. She recently told Newsweek: "No one cares about this guy who actually murdered my roommate. I think that is so indicative of what was going on at the time, and has always been going on with this case, [which] is the idea that it wasn't ever even really about Meredith… The truth of what happened to her, and the truth of the person who actually did it, got completely lost for the sake of a scandalous story."
