Are Netflix getting their moneysworth out of the Division Two royals?

Hereโ€™s my new label wot I designed ๐Ÿ˜‰- youโ€™ll note I make smaller select batches! Also, I never make money from this enterprise and give my produce to family and friendsโ€ฆ

On the authentic French Riviera, the orchards grow figs, apricots, peaches, cherries, pears.
Strawberries are usually grown in the Dordogne, the Lot, and in Brittany. Not so much on the Riviera.

They do grow strawberries in California. Often tended to and harvested by undocumented migrants with no rights. sad Iโ€™m sure The Sussex Orchard is all organic and staffed by people being kind to each other and the strawberries, though.

I think Santa Barbara is known as the American riviera.
But "Orchard" doesn't make me think of strawberries.

Is it organic?

How about Megโ€™s Allotment? ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ

I was puzzled, thank you

How exciting ,is she going to bankrupt Duchy Originals,

merlotgran Tue 16-Apr-24 11:42:01

Meghan had unveiled her first American Riviera Orchard product. Itโ€™s a jar of strawberry jam!

Somehow Duchy Originals slips more easily off the tongue and by that I donโ€™t mean itโ€™s easier to swallow. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Althoughโ€ฆ.

They must think they are.

Anniebach Tue 16-Apr-24 09:47:09

I cannot imagine members of the royal family instructing everyone how to stand for a photograph.
Remember the late Queen walking with Trump, they were inspecting a line up, he stepped in front of the Queen,she
ignored it,

I think Meghan has missed a trick here.

She loves dogs. She goes to rescue centres.

This may be the one thing that the British would be interested in. We really don't need to see yet another cooking show.

Do something with dogs, M.

Eeek!!
Not in the U.K. please!

Nah! Alison Hammond has bagged that slot!

Thatโ€™s me switching off then - that shouty woman makes me want to chuck a brick at the telly.

Joseann Tue 16-Apr-24 08:02:30

I've just watched the video clip over breakfast. It's quite funny, all that jostling and shuffling places looks like something I make everyone do to get a polished photo. Aesthetically speaking, the end result was spot on with the ladies, all dressed in white in the middle, and the blokes, all dressed in blue, as bookends. Maybe Meghan is a perfectionist, who knows? You can be sure Netflix won't include the awkward left/right stuff!

Anniebach Mon 15-Apr-24 22:33:22

Thank you. Living in Wales pony trekking, loved it

NotSpaghetti Mon 15-Apr-24 22:10:10

I saw the video too. Was sufficiently surprised by it to watch it twice! No idea where I saw it. Didn't think it was worth mentioning here though - but see it's now being discussed.

Re polo... my dad learned to play polo in the army (during the war!) - he was an "ordinary" soldier and always enjoyed riding afterwards when the opportunity arose.
We didn't have horses but he took me to my riding lessons and would sometimes ride out for an hour or so with my tutor afterwards.

Anniebach Mon 15-Apr-24 21:58:47

Thank you Maddy I donโ€™t like but wouldnโ€™t lie about her enjoy Paris

maddyone Mon 15-Apr-24 21:40:34

I believe you Annie.

Anniebach Mon 15-Apr-24 21:16:56

It did happen , it was embarrassing

maddyone Mon 15-Apr-24 21:07:16

If thatโ€™s what happened, then Iโ€™m afraid she was rude.

Anniebach Mon 15-Apr-24 20:02:19

There are two photographs, one with her and the polo team and one with her standing next to Harry with the chair woman
on Megan left, the woman went to stand next to Harry ,Megan
directed to her left , another woman joined but she too was directed to the left,it is on Instagram, I canโ€™t post links from there sorry

Deedaa Mon 15-Apr-24 19:53:13

I wondered about her standing in the centre of the photograph with the trophy. Surely the people who had put in the work and won the thing should be the focal point. It's not as if she's ever shown any particular interest in horses or polo.
