'MEGHAN DREAMS OF WINNING AN OSCAR'
The big story on the royal couple this week is the huge mega-deal they've signed with Netflix.
It's claimed Meghan hopes she'll land an Oscar through the 'inspirational' programmes she'll produce as a result of the new partnership.
A friend told the Mail on Sunday: “An Oscar is all Meg has ever wanted. She used to practise her acceptance speech in the mirror with a hairbrush when she was a kid of seven.
“She would also practise her signature in preparation for all the autographs she would give.
“Her absolute dream was to achieve the EGOT – the grand slam of showbusiness – which is winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award.”

'MEGHAN AND HARRY ARE NAIVE OVER NETFLIX DEAL'
Our columnist Jane Moore has called Harry and Meghan 'naive' over their new £112m deal with streaming giant Netflix.
And she says: “Let’s face it, if they were plain old Harry Windsor and Meghan Markle of Acacia Avenue, they wouldn’t get past reception at the powerful streaming service, let alone to the carpeted corridors where the big deals are done.
“But the new Fresh Prince of Bel Air and his beautiful former Suits actress wife are marketable solely because of their close connection to not only Diana, but that most elusive of world-famous stars — The Queen.”
Here's the column.
MEGHAN'S 'PERSONAL FAVOURITE' POEM
The Duchess of Sussex, 39, shared her favourite verse in the 2019 September issue of Vogue which she guest-edited.
The short piece – titled A Note From The Beach – was written by mental health campaigner and author Matt Haig and first appeared in his 2018 memoir Notes on a Nervous Planet.
Written from the perspective of the beach, the opening of the poem reads: “Hello. I am the beach.
“I am created by the waves and currents. I am made of eroded rocks. I exist next to the sea.
“I have been around for millions of years. I was around at the dawn of life itself. And I have to tell you something.
“I don't care about your body. I am a beach. I literally don't give a f**k.”
MEGHAN FRAMED HER WEDDING SPEECH IN SWEET ANNIVERSARY GIFT
A source has revealed that Meghan, 38, relied on her calligraphy skills to hand craft her hubby a gift on their first anniversary.
Tying in with tradition of the first year being the paper anniversary, Meghan hand wrote out their wedding speech and had it framed for Harry, according to People.
While it is not known what was exactly said by the bride on her wedding day, she did declare “I have found my prince.”
She also spoke about her “special bond” with Prince Charles and thanked the royal family for “welcoming” her.
MEGHAN'S £27 SECRET TO BEATING STRESS
Her secret to beating stress has been revealed as a £26.50 health supplement from London's the Glow Bar which “promises to calm your body, mind and spirit during times of stress.”
According the Mail Online Meghan is a huge fan of the shop's Ashwagandha product, which is taken as a powder and can be added to coffee or tea.
Ashwagandha is a herb, and member of the nightshade family.
It's been used in medicine for hundreds of years, and – according to Glow – promises “feel good magic”.
ARCHIE 'LOVES BUTTING IN' ON HARRY AND MEGHAN'S ZOOM CALLS

Explaining the research behind the book, he said: “I loved discovering their daily Zoom calls with the various initiatives and people that they work with.

MEGHAN LOVES THIS £52 CANDLE
On her now-closed Instagram page, the new Duchess of Sussex regularly pictured pricey candles and room diffusers.
In one photograph she pictured a burnt-down Le Labo Santal 26 candle.
These £52 scented candles are described as having “leathery and musky notes” and are available to buy in the UK from Selfridges.
But at £52 they aren't cheap – probably because they are hand-poured in Mississippi, USA.
THESE ARE THE £20 TIGHTS MEGHAN SWEARS BY
The Duchess of Sussex is said to be a huge fan of Heist tights – and although they are £21, they're worth the hefty price tag.
The nude designs are available in seven different shades and feature a mega comfy waistband that doesn't dig or roll as well as a stronger, eco-friendly yarn.
They're “gravity defining” with no gusset – and therefore no sagging – as well as being seamless, soft and hand-sewn.
The brand also sell a range of other tights, but it's thought to be the nude style Meghan wears, thanks to their mega natural look.
PRINCESS SOFIA OF SWEDEN 'NEVER WANTS A MEGXIT'
Princess Sofia of Sweden says she would never think of quitting the royal family because of the “huge opportunities” it presents.
The wife of Prince Carl Philip of Sweden discussed the Sussexes' departure on the Swedish documentary Princess Sofia: Project Playground.
Asked whether she would ever want to mimic Harry and Meghan she said: “No. Not really.
“I think I have found such a fantastic balance, and I really see it as a positive that I have made it through these stormy years.
“It is such a huge advantage, in that we have the opportunity to stand a little in both worlds.”

ELTON JOHN’S DESIGNER HELPS MEGHAN
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got decor tips for their new California mansion from Sir Elton John's “extravagant” designer.
Martyn Lawrence Bullard, 53, was introduced to the couple by the superstar after he decorated his Los Angeles apartment.
A source told The Mail on Sunday: “Martyn was really helpful on where they should be house-hunting and what kind of properties.
“Some of his interiors are outrageous and over the top, but he's also great at working out exactly what the client wants and delivering it.”
The decorator, from Kent, England, has previously worked with Kylie Jenner, Tommy Hilfiger, Cher, and Sharon Osbourne.

Sarah Sands, former editor of the BBC's Today programme, said: “Meghan’s ‘ordeal’ in Britain was, to her mind, the subjugation of her voice.

“Meghan, at the end of the line was disinclined to wait. ‘Don’t I have a voice?’ she asked, icily.”
