Meghan Markle 'sends cryptic message' as Queen Camilla turns 78
A video of the Netflix star unboxing a crate of wine from her lifestyle brand As Ever, was shared on her Instagram stories.
She captioned the clip: "Sending birthday love (both near and far) to my ladies."

Meghan ended the message with a heart emoji, the Mirror reports.
It's not clear who Meghan's message was for, but many have speculated she was sending well wishes to the Queen.
Camilla was believed to have bonded with Meghan when she first joined the royal fold, as the pair share a love of the arts and wine.
The mystery message comes as the Palace released a new portrait of Camilla, along with well wishes for her big day.
Camilla was born at London's King's College Hospital on July 17, 1947, and spent her childhood living in Sussex.
She met her husband, King Charles, through a mutual friend at a polo match in 1970 - but their courtship was short-lived.
Camilla went on to marry Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973 and they remained together until 1995.
Prince Charles and Princess Diana - who he wed in 1981 - divorced in 1996 - a year before the then-Princess of Wales' tragic death.
In 2005, almost 10 years later, Charles and Camilla tied the knot.
There have been recent rumours that the royal family and the Sussexes were looking to put their differences aside.
Senior aides to both King Charles and Prince Harry were spotted having drinks last week at London's Royal Over-Seas League.
Harry recently made his desire to bury the hatchet with his family public.
During a tell-all interview with the BBC in May he said he'd "love a reconciliation" with the King and William, and admitted he was tired of fighting.

This beloved comedy-drama is leaving Netflix next week — binge it now before it's gone
In a stunning move, Netflix is removing one of its own shows this month. Now, technically, "Call My Agent" didn't start as a Netflix original. This comedy-drama originally debuted in France as "Dix Pour Cent" ("Ten Percent"; a talent agent's typical fee) and was such a hit that the streaming service bought it and ran it for four seasons. But after July 22, it will no longer be available to stream on Netflix. The bad news? That's a real bummer, because the show is excellent. Yes, you have to deal with subtitles, but if you can handle that, you get an HBO-caliber comedy-drama that will have you laughing whether you speak French or not. The good news? You still have time to binge-watch the entire show. While it did run for four seasons, each season was only six episodes, meaning you'll need just 24 hours to watch the entire show. "Call My Agent" features an ensemble cast, revolving around four main characters, each a partner at the prestigious talent agency ASK (Agence Samuel Kerr). There's the duo of Andréa (Camille Cottin), a womanizing agent whose carnal desires sometimes get her into trouble. She has a close relationship with Gabriel (Grégory Montel), another of the partners at ASK, who is probably the most well-intentioned of the bunch, but can still be conniving when needed. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Get Netflix's ad-supported Standard tier and get access to almost everything Netflix has to offer at just $7.99. Or upgrade to Standard for $10 more and don't miss a single show or movie. At the top of the power structure among the agency's partners is Mathias (Thibault de Montalembert). He's a formidable agent and arguably the star of the show. But he still makes some mistakes and struggles with his relationship with Camille (Fanny Sidney), who is Andréa's assistant and Mathias's illegitimate daughter. Then there's Arlette (Liliane Rovère), the fourth partner and the former protegé of the late Samuel Kerr, who founded ASK. It could be argued that she is more of a secondary than a main character, but she still gets some storylines devoted to her. I'd argue that Camille, instead, is the fourth main character, and her relationship with her father, Mathias, is integral to what makes the show so entertaining. Just one example of this happens early in the show, when she hooks up with the first actor she meets, only to discover that he's another one of Mathias's children. If you're worried you won't have enough time to watch the entire run of "Call My Agent," don't worry, you're not alone. I'm literally watching an episode as I write this to try and complete my binge-watch, and I still have plenty more to go. But even if by some unfortunate circumstance I can't get through the entire 24-episode run, I won't be sad. I'm loving what I've seen so far, and if this were a new show this year, it'd be in my top 10 shows of the year. Now, I will admit, the show is very French. Granted, it started as a French show aimed at a French audience, but I promise its appeal is universal. Unsurprisingly, it's pretty comparable to "Entourage," though it has aged far more gracefully. Maybe it's because "Call My Agent" was only just starting when the truly abominable "Entourage" movie came out, but despite having plenty of mercurial actors, messy relationships and drama, it manages to be much more sophisticated in its presentation, even if its humor isn't inherently highbrow. So trust me, even if you only make it through the first season, make it a priority to binge-watch this acclaimed and beloved comedy-drama now before it's gone from Netflix for good. Stream "Call My Agent" on Netflix now Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023.

Netflix Integrates Generative AI in Content Production and Platform Operations
During its Q2 earnings call, co-CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that the Argentine sci-fi series El Eternauta features what the company claims is the "first GenAI final footage to appear on screen" You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Netflix has begun integrating generative AI into its content production pipeline, marking a notable shift in how major studios are experimenting with artificial intelligence in filmmaking. During its Q2 earnings call, co-CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that the Argentine sci-fi series El Eternauta features what the company claims is the "first GenAI final footage to appear on screen." The AI-generated visual, a collapsing building scene, was completed in significantly less time—reportedly ten times faster—than with conventional visual effects methods, and at a lower cost. Sarandos clarified that AI is not replacing human creativity but is being used to enhance production workflows. "This is real people doing real work with better tools," he said, citing improvements in pre-visualization, shot planning, and effects work such as digital de-aging—once only viable for large-budget productions. Beyond content creation, Netflix is expanding its use of generative AI in platform features. Co-CEO Greg Peters noted that the technology is being deployed in personalization, search, and advertising systems. The company is preparing to launch interactive, AI-driven ads in the latter half of 2025. The announcement comes alongside Netflix's second-quarter earnings, where the company reported USD 11.08 billion in revenue, a 16 per cent increase year-over-year—and a net profit of USD 3.13 billion. Viewership reached over 95 billion hours in the first half of 2025, with one-third attributed to non-English content.

Prince Harry And Meghan Reportedly Have 'No Plans' Ever To Move Back To The UK Despite 'Peace Talks'
Prince Harry and his father, King Charles, seem to be on the path to reconciliation after their top aides were spotted holding peace talks in London. However, despite this significant attempt to heal the family rift, it has been revealed that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have no plans ever to move back to the UK. This comes after royal experts noted that Prince Harry may struggle to mend his relationship with his brother, Prince William, who is reportedly wary of the ongoing peace talks. Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Are Never Moving Back To The UK Following reports of a "peace summit" between Harry and King Charles' senior aides, many had hoped it would lead to the Windsor family reuniting, particular the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returning to the UK. However, close friends of the Montecito-based royals have shared a different perspective, noting that Harry and Meghan have no intention of ever moving back, as they are "very happy" with their life in California. "They're very happy living in and raising their family in California and, as it stands, have no plans to leave," a source said, per the Daily Mail. Harry and Meghan made headlines in 2020 when they officially stepped back from their roles as senior royals and relocated to the US. Ever since, the rift between the couple and the royal family has widened due to disturbing allegations made against the monarchy through interviews, a docuseries, and the duke's memoir, "Spare." King Charles Is Reportedly Wary Of The Duke Due To His Past Actions According to royal expert Charlotte Griffiths, Harry jeopardized peace efforts with the royal family by breaching a long-standing royal code. Griffiths suggested that the Duke of Sussex had violated a key protocol by openly sharing private family matters in the public eye, referencing Harry's candid interview with Oprah, the Sussexes' Netflix series, and his revealing memoir. As a result, King Charles is reportedly wary of direct conversations with his youngest son, fearing their private exchanges could become public fodder. "I think he would be willing to meet his demands, and it is a pretty simple demand, it is 'If I talk to you, can it not leak out on Oprah Winfrey or any other program?" Griffiths said of the king's requirements. She added, "Harry really wants reconciliation and to be able to freely speak to his father; at the moment, he cannot get through to his father, he has to go through his aides." Moving forward, Griffiths believes, "What will definitely happen is some ground rules for communications." "What Harry cannot do is repeat what goes on in private conversations," she noted, per the New York Post. Prince Harry's Public Remarks On King Charles' Health Sparked Palace Backlash During a BBC interview back in May, Harry expressed a desire to reconcile with his father and other members of the royal family. However, he stirred controversy by suggesting the king's health might be worse than publicly acknowledged. "I don't know how much longer my father has," Harry remarked, claiming at the time that King Charles refuses to speak directly with him. Griffiths noted that Harry's comments caused considerable unease within Buckingham Palace. "Harry said 'we don't know how much time my father has left' and that went down extremely badly, that's why this story is so surprising," she said. "He broke the cardinal rule, which was speculating on the king's health." "By fueling public speculation about his father's condition, Harry crossed a line rarely breached within royal circles," Griffiths added. Prince William 'In No Rush' For Reconciliation As King Charles Softens Toward Prince Harry Although the Sussexes' representatives, Meredith Maines and Liam Maguire, were seen in talks with Charles's press secretary, Tobyn Andreae, the meeting notably excluded Prince William and Princess Catherine's communications team. Royal expert Griffiths believes this partly shows William remains uninterested in repairing his fractured relationship with his estranged brother. "William is in perfect health and is in no rush to make amends with his brother," Griffiths noted of the Prince of Wales. While Charles likely informed William of his outreach efforts, Griffiths suggests the heir apparent would rather stay out of any peace talks. "I think the king will have let William know this was his approach, and there would have been a certain conversation. But I don't think William will want to get involved," she noted. Griffith further speculated that the king's recent health challenges may have softened his stance toward Harry, making him more open to reconciliation. "I think this is driven by the king's health in the respect that the king is very circumspect at the moment and is perhaps in a more forgiving place," she added. Invictus Games 2027: Prince Harry Reportedly Hopes For A Royal Reunion On Home Soil With tensions between Harry and the royal family still unresolved, insiders suggest the upcoming Invictus Games in the UK could offer a rare chance for the duke to extend an olive branch. Reports claim Harry hopes Charles and William will attend the 2027 Games in Birmingham, set for July 17, 2027. "Invictus hopes the royal family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans," a source told the Daily Mail. "The royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena. This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated," they added. While Harry remains estranged from both his father and brother, his desire for reconciliation remains. The hope is that by 2027, relations may have thawed enough for the royal family to publicly back the event, which is set up to support and uplift wounded veterans worldwide.
