Esther Krakue, royal expert, labelled Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as "boring and unprofitable"

Meghan Markle's As Ever products, including £11 jam and £22 honey - went on sale this week
The comments were made about her Netflix partnership, through which she sold products.
The jams were sold under her new company, which had faced a string of setbacks before finally launching.
However, royal experts had criticised her products as 'out of touch,' especially given the prices — from £11 for a jar of jam to £22 for limited-edition honey.
The products were developed in collaboration with the Netflix Consumer Products group.

Esther Okraku said: " I think Netflix are going to have to swallow the fact that they've invested in the world's most boring and unprofitable couple.
"Spotify realised quite early on and got out early."
The Royal Expert added that she feels Meghan has nothing to lose if her business fails.
"I really don't think the public understands just how little is at stake for Meghan," Esther said

"It wasn't exactly a passion project."
Prince Harry and his upstart wife must be honest about their money - they've made millions from the royals
It comes after Royal Author Phil Dampier claimed that Netflix is now keen to 'get some of their money back', with the launch of the items.
He explained on the show: 'I think having invested $100million in the shows that they did - and the thing about
'They're going to stick with them for the time being.
'They're going to go for it, and they're going in for a penny, in for a pound.
'And, you know, if they can get some money back with the merchandising, great.'
Previously, Esther stated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle must be 'honest' about their money, having made millions from the royal family.
Kensington Palace revealed
Prince
William pays the highest rate of
income tax
on his private estate, the Duchy of
Cornwall, however, the amount was not disclosed.
Esther
argued that if some people think the Prince of
Wales
should reveal the tax amount, so should his brother
Prince Harry
.
Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, she shared: 'It's an uncomfortable conversation that I think is completely unnecessary, and I think if you're going to have those conversations, then you might as well have them about Harry as well, he inherited, what, £10 million from the late Queen Mother.'
The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson chimed in: 'Again, that's all very secretive. We don't know the exact figures.'
Esther continued: 'Exactly, but why is no one asking him?
'I mean, him and his upstart wife arguably haven't earned that money by any means.
'You know, why aren't we criticising them? Because it's just distasteful.
'And I think we should extend the same courtesy to William.'

The Duchess even tried her hand at beekeeping, fully suited up, as she collected honey.
In the exciting new trailer, Meghan shared: "I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.
"Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.

"This is about connecting with friends... I love that we're doing this together for the first time. Making new friends... and just learning.
"We're not in the pursuit of perfection. We're in the pursuit of joy. I have to get it totally wrong, to get it totally right."
The trailer showcased many "candid" moments, from Meghan accidentally squeezing some lemon juice in her eye, to knocking freshly baked goodies off a plate.

Duchess of Edinburgh brushes off suggestions she is ‘Royal Secret weapon' as she speaks at Bosnia genocide anniversary
THE Duchess of Edinburgh brushed off suggestions she is the 'Royal Secret weapon' but admitted "I like to fly under the radar". She was Advertisement 3 The Duchess of Edinburgh spoke at a service in the memory of thousands killed in the Srebrenica genocide Credit: PA 3 The Duchess laid a wreath commemorating the 30th anniversary of the atrocity Credit: PA 3 She also met with the grieving Mothers of Srebrenica Credit: PA She read a message of "hope" from the King and said "I hope that I make a difference". It is now more than two years since she was made the first She said it's "emotional" and was "quite a big moment" to follow in her footsteps. In the past year, Sophie, 60, has traveled to Chad in Africa to highlight the refugee crisis in the Sudan conflict. Advertisement READ MORE ON SOPHIE WESSEX She was the first member of the Royal Family to visit Ukraine. This week she marked 30 years since the Srebrenica genocide in Bosnia. She works closely with the UK government on projects highlighting and tackling sexual violence on women in conflict zones. Despite marrying the King's younger sibling Prince Edward 26 years ago, she has often been dubbed "The Royal Family's secret weapon". Advertisement Most read in Royals Speaking to The Sun on Sunday at the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial this week she laughed off the nickname, saying: "It's all very well being a secret weapon but if no one knows, maybe it's too secret. She then added: "I suppose I should take it as a backhanded compliment. Sophie Wessex weeps as she meets women raped in exchange for food & water on harrowing trip to war victims in Chad "I don't see myself in a frontline position per se, that said, admittedly there are fewer working members of the family these days so I suppose more and more are becoming less secretive. "I just wonder what they are going to describe me as next." Advertisement Sophie became Duchess of Edinburgh after Edward was named Duke on his 59th birthday in March 2023. The last duchess was the late Queen who held the title for five years between her marriage to Prince Philip in 1947 and accession in 1952. Asked about losing her former Countess of Wessex title she joked "I quite liked her". But speaking about taking on the late Queen's title, said: "It was quite large shoes to fill. Advertisement "For me it was quite an emotional thing to sort of step into her shoes. It felt like quite a big moment. 'But of course being practical, my role and my husband's role is to support the King, as it was to support the Queen, and we are fortunate because we are able to not be in a front and centre role. "It allows us the flexibility to explore our own interests and then also be available to do things like this where the King asked if I would represent him here. "It so happens it also covering an area of interest personally for me too. Advertisement 'But yes, we are there to support and that will continue." I think if I can keep banging the drum it perhaps creates traction somewhere Duchess of Edinburgh There have been calls for Sophie to be given more responsibility and The Sun understands there are motives behind palace walls for her to have a greater role after the deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip and the banishment of Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which all left a heavier workload for the rest of the family. But over the years Sophie has quietly been working on serious and often traumatic topics such as women suffering sexual violence in conflict zones. In Bosnia, she had a heart-to-heart with families pleading for help from local politicians to find and identify the remains of thousands who were slaughtered and are still missing from the 1990s conflict in Eastern Europe. Advertisement And at the Srebrenica Genocide Centre she embraced mothers who have fought tirelessly for justice from authorities. Sophie said: "It can take its toll on emotions, that's for sure. "They are not easy subject matters, they never are. "But every time I go somewhere it serves to strengthen my resolve to do as much as I can and to continue to tread this path because I have absolute faith in the women of the world to solve so many issues that we have alongside men, who of course, we can't do it without. Advertisement She said: "It is always emotional, of course it is always emotional, but you have to see through the emotion to find the strength and it is always there. "I hope that my activity in this area creates continuity". She added: 'But I hope that I make a difference. It's very hard because sometimes these issues are very overwhelming because of the scale. "But I think if I can keep banging the drum it perhaps creates traction somewhere. Advertisement "It would be too easy to give up." And many of the people she met in Bosnia who shared their harrowing stories will be hoping she continues to tackle the difficult topics.

Darts icon Bobby George shows off amputated TOE he keeps in vodka after it was chopped off by ‘big pair of nail cutters'
DARTS icon Bobby George watched as a surgeon cut off his toe - now he keeps it at home in a jar filled with vodka. George, 79, had four operations to remove four toes, two on each foot, due to a painful genetic deformity. 7 Darts icon Bobby George showed off his amputated toe that he keeps in a jar filled with vodka Credit: The Sun 7 George keeps the toe behind the bar in his Essex mansion Credit: The Sun 7 He showed off the 26-year-old toe Credit: The Sun 7 George was always one of darts' most eccentric characters Credit: Getty The eccentric darts legend, who earned the nickname 'King of Bling' during his playing days, George suffers from a genetic condition that has caused his toes to come out of their sockets and cross over. Explaining the unusual situation, he told SunSport: "Well, I've got… I don't want to say disease or whatever, but people get it in their hands. "Their fingers cross over. I got it in my feet.

Reluctantly, the doctor did let him take the toe back home and some 26 years later George still has it in a small jar that he keeps on his bar. He said: "He wouldn't give me the stuff to preserve it. It's deadly poison, so I can't do that. I put it in vodka. Been in vodka 26 years. "It's curled up a little bit, I think it's p****d by now." George keeps the toe next to his booze on his bar, joking with friends that come over that it's a "cocktoe".
