Meghan Markle sparks speculation after ‘cosying up’ to Kardashian business mastermind

Many people think the Duchess of Sussex’s appearance could indicate a shift for her brand As Ever after she was photographed with Emma Grede, who collaborates closely with the Kardashians and their businesses.

Meghan Markle could be set to develop a ‘mega-brand’ with her lifestyle project As Ever, as she was spotted rubbing shoulders with PR mogul Emma Grede.

The Duchess of Sussex attended a dinner hosted by Grede – who is the mastermind behind Kim Kardashian ’s Skims brand and Khloe Kardashian’s apparel brand Good American – which celebrated women “owning their power” and helping “each other get s**t done”.

Ms Grede shared several photos and videos from the banquet, writing in her Instagram caption: “Not my typical Wednesday after work” before showing behind-the-scenes footage from the evening, with Meghan’s 2024 As Ever Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc flowing throughout the evening.

Before joining each other for dinner, Meghan and Emma posed in their “power outfits” before laughing and toasting each other with their glasses of wine.

The two women have a history with each other, with Meghan appearing on Emma’s podcast Aspire in June, in which she discussed the future of her lifestyle brand while also sneaking in a few jabs at the royal family.

Since Meghan’s appearance at Paris Fashion Week in early September, royal commentators have speculated whether the duchess might be making a move into the world of fashion and beauty with her lifestyle brand, and her dinner with the PR queen has only fuelled the rumours.

Although a formal agreement between Ms Grede and As Ever has been ruled out by sources close to her, PR expert Chad Teixeira believes Meghan’s friendship could be a sign that she is leveraging her years of experience. He added that Emma Markle’s appearance at Emma Grede’s Los Angeles dinner series is “too strategic to be a coincidence.”

The timing is important, and Meghan is reportedly planning to start a fashion line, and Emma Grede, who has helped her create $ billion brands like Skims and Good American, is a perfect partner to do that.

He continued to analyze Emma’s social media posts from the evening, claiming that the event’s imagery and social media content all but confirm that it wasn’t just a “casual dinner.”

He said, “The visuals are polished, professional, and intended to represent Meghan and Emma as equals within the same creative space.” It’s a soft-launch strategy we frequently see in PR when something bigger is in store for the foreseeable future, not a spontaneous staging.

Meghan does everything with intention, according to PR expert Rebecca May, not someone who just appears on the spot. Being at Emma’s dinner makes her a smart, strategic connection, and she is known for it.

Meghan’s inclusion in the group of women who create things, such as brands, businesses, movements, unquestionably suggests she’s laying the groundwork for her upcoming chapter.

Victoria Beckham admits Brooklyn dilemma as she speaks on family feud

In a bombshell interview on the podcast Call Her Daddy, Victoria Beckham addressed her biggest concern with her once-close-knit family.

The Spice Girl and her husband, David Beckham, both 50, are reportedly fighting over their 26-year-old son Brooklyn and his wealthy wife Nicola Peltz, 30. The couple have not spoken in a month.

According to rumors, billionaire heiress Nicola is at the center of the disagreement due to claims she encouraged Brooklyn to distance himself from his parents. Even David and Victoria who were not on the guest list were dejected by the pair’s massive no-expense vow renewal earlier this year.

In a recent interview, Victoria touched on the fallout by setting a stoic silence and admitting she must allow her children to forge their own paths. Posh is also questioned about David’s long-running relationship with Rebecca Loos during the podcast conversation.

Call Her Daddy/YouTube interview with Victoria Beckham was enthralling.

When Alex Cooper from Call Her Daddy asked how she had stepped back and “allowing her children to make their own decisions,” Victoria responded, “I mean, we’re such a close family.

We always let them know that any topics they want to discuss in a safe place, as they say, and communication is key. That is extremely crucial. However, they must embark on their own journeys. ‘.

When asked how she and David managed to balance their family’s shifting dynamics, she said, “Again, it’s just about communicating. With the kids, we’ve always had that attitude. They’re all very different, and I’m excited about them. They all have a different motivation.

Brooklyn seems to be actively pursuing “different things” right now. The aspiring photographer turned budding chef has no immediate plans to end the fight with his parents and siblings, according to Victoria’s candid conversation.

According to a source, Brooklyn and Nicola “really focused on living a peaceful, drama-free life” together. Instead of trying to fix something that still feels tense, they want to let things settle naturally.

The insider claimed that the relationships between the Beckham clan are still “huge rifts” and that they are “absolutely broken.” Brooklyn’s ability to communicate with Harper Seven, his younger sister, is still unknown. In the most recent update on the Beckham family feud, the source confirmed to US Weekly that “the relationships are all still strained.”

After he and Nicola missed David’s celebration for his 50th birthday in May, rumors about family feuds started to spread. According to reports, the couple did not speak to his parents after the absence.

Additionally, there were rumors of a breakup between Brooklyn and Romeo over Kim Turnbull’s ex-girlfriend around the same time. Before meeting Nicola in 2019, some reports suggested Brooklyn had a brief sex with Kim.

Kim, however, made a staunch defense in June. She stated on Instagram that their relationship with Brooklyn was nothing more than a “school friendship at the age of 16” and that they “never had romantic relationships at any time.”

David and Victoria were conspicuously absent from Brooklyn and Nicola’s vow renewal ceremony in August, adding fuel to the fire.

In an interview with the Daily Mail in September, Brooklyn stated that despite the negative press, he and Nicola continue to care about their own lives. He briefly touched on the ongoing media rumors. We simply do our thing, keeping our heads down, and working, is what we are doing. And he declared, “We’re content.”

Victoria recently nods Brooklyn in a speech at the London premiere of her new Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham, which also features a brief appearance from the couple. Despite the apparent rift, Victoria did so recently.

Alleged Terrorism: Kanu Concludes Private Meeting With Legal Team Preparatory To His Defence

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, has had a private consultation with Kanu Agabi, the former attorney general of the Federation (AGF), to conclude the consultation.

The Federal High Court headquarters complex in Abuja, which houses the defendant’s ongoing terrorism trial, hosted the meeting in Court 7, which is located on the second floor.

The defense team’s preparation for the defendant’s case’s opening on Thursday, October 23 is reflected in the schedule of the proceedings that Justice James Omotosho issued on September 16.

In light of the earlier accelerated hearing that was granted in the case, Justice Omotosho granted the defendant six consecutive days to begin and end his defense starting on October 23.

Nnamdi Kanu enters the defense, lists Wike, Umahi, Buratai, and other people as witnesses.

Agabi, who did not object to the court’s six-day order, filed an oral request for the court to grant Kanu’s legal team access to a private consultation with the defendant outside the Department of State Services (DSS).

Agabi claimed that the defendant’s legal team was concerned that the DSS might access or record their conversation with him (Kanu).

Justice Omotosho accepted Agabi’s request for a private meeting with Kanu to be held in the courtroom, where only the defendant’s attorneys would be present. Justice Omotosho granted the request.

Victoria Beckham asked directly about David’s Rebecca Loos ‘affair’ in bombshell chat

Rebecca Loos’ alleged affair with her husband David Beckham has received a direct inquiry from Victoria Beckham. In a brand-new bombshell interview, The Spice Girl was quizzed.

In one of the most talked-about celebrity scandals of the 2000s, Rebecca claims that David and Rebecca had a “steamy affair” with Victoria behind her. She claimed that she worked as the footballer’s translator and assistant assistant during their four-month relationship in 2004.

Victoria remained at home in the UK while David moved for Madrid to pursue his career at the time. In his Netflix series Beckham, David has frequently touched on the scandal and David has long defended the allegations as “ludicrous.”

Victoria Beckham
(Call Her Daddy) – How did Victoria handle the scandal?

However, a no-holds barred chat on the Call Her Daddy podcast has now been conducted on Victoria regarding the allegations. You’ve dealt with speculation about your marriage your entire career, according to host Alex Cooper.

In the documentary, David obviously touched on this. Could you just describe how David and I handled this?

Do you know that we’ve been subjected to so much criticism and discussion because we recently celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary, and by the way, some people have predicted it won’t work for 26 years? We’ve been through a lot, but we’ve always just been there together and rode the storm.

However, it appeared that she didn’t want to stay on the subject for very long after mentioning her eating disorder. On her own Netflix show, Victoria bravely shared her experience for the first time.

Rebecca gave more interviews after her first-person explosive allegations surfaced in 2004. She claimed in a sit-down interview that David and she shared the same sense of humor and that their chemistry was top-notch.

She addressed his marriage, saying that David reportedly missed his wife and was “lonely” in Spain, and that Rebecca insisted that she had no intention of ending their relationship. When questioned about her feelings toward Victoria, she made one request: “No sympathy.”

She said, “I don’t expect any sympathy from her at all.” Without expecting any kind words of sympathy, I believe that doing what I have done is bad enough for me to do it.

“I sincerely hope they are able to get past it. Before I even started dating them, I believe the issues with their marriage were. I have no intention of breaking up their marriage, especially if they have young children. I hope they continue to be together.

Rebecca gave Victoria an olive branch last year. On James English’s Anything Goes With podcast, she said, “I got the s***, Victoria [Beckham] got the s***, and David f****** never got any s***.”

The world in which we live is “that.” That made me want to keep saying, “Hello, this is unfair,” “. In David’s TV show, he and Victoria spoke about a difficult time in their lives.

He continued, “There were some terrible stories that were challenging to handle. For the first time in our marriage, Victoria and I were subject to that pressure. “One hundred percent,” Victoria continued. For us, this was the most difficult time. because it appeared as though the world was conspiring against us.

If I’m being completely honest, the former Spice Girl continued, “We were against each other. You’re aware that up until Madrid, things used to feel like we played against everyone else.

But we shared a room. We had a connection. We were together. However, it didn’t really feel like we had any relationships while we were in Spain. That is depressing. I can’t even begin to explain how difficult it was for me.

When the director inquired about their future, David responded, “In all honesty, I don’t know how we managed to survive.” I value Victoria above all else.

It was incredibly challenging to witness her suffering. However, we fight. And we also had to fight for our families at the time. And it was worthwhile to fight for what we had. It’s our private life, after all.

Court Rejects Alleged Terrorists Negotiator Mamu’s Third Bail Application

Tukur Mohammed Mamu, an alleged terrorists negotiator, has requested new bail from Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

In a decision on Wednesday, Justice Mohammed Umar took note of Mamu’s health complaint and ruled that the Department of State Services (DSS), the agency responsible for detaining him, should send him to a reputable health facility where he would receive adequate care.

Justice Umar noted that the prosecution has shown diligence in both handling and prosecuting the case throughout the case history.

The judge argued that one of the arguments for granting bail is because the prosecution is being diligent, not because the prosecution is being diligent in this case.

After that, he directed the defense attorney to select a health care provider that would be most convenient for the defendant and that he would pick him right away.

‘The shackles are off’ – Murray joins new BBC podcast

To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Former Ireland star Conor Murray says the “shackles are off” as he launches a new BBC Sounds podcast – the Ireland Rugby Social.

Murray, who won international 125 caps, will join BBC Sport NI’s Gavin Andrews to give his unique insight into the mindset of a professional athlete as Ireland gear up for the autumn internationals and the 2026 Six Nations.

Each week, Murray will sit down with players, coaches and rugby insiders to dive into the sport’s biggest stories as Ireland face New Zealand, Japan, Australia and South Africa this autumn, before the Six Nations kicks off next year.

With five Six Nations titles and two United Rugby Championships with Munster, the three-time British and Irish Lion is uniquely placed to go beyond the headlines – and he says: “I can say what I want.”

“As a player you are always worried about protecting the team or the coach, or saying something the coach might not agree with after,” said Murray.

“But now the shackles are off. Now you can speak your mind and say things how you see it.”

Every Tuesday there will be podcast with a special guest who will offer their own insight into their life in rugby, whether that is playing, coaching or a role you may not know about.

Additionally, throughout November and Six Nations there will be a second podcast reflecting on the game that’s just been played and a look ahead at what is to come.

“Rugby has been such a big part of my life for so long, so I think staying connected to it is probably a good idea,” Murray added.

“I can give some insight, get some guests with some interesting stories – stories that you maybe haven’t heard before.

“I know the guests we have will be able to relax and tell us their true thoughts and stories.”
