There was widespread bemusement when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex turned up in Jamaica in 2024 to attend a film premiere honouring reggae legend Bob Marley.Not only did Prince Harry and Meghan have nothing to do with the film but they were photographed on the night with the Jamaican prime minister, Andrew Holness, who had vowed to push ahead with plans to ditch King Charles as head of state.To add insult to injury, the King was preparing for hospital treatment for an enlarged prostate at the time.The couple were there as guests of the film’s producer, Paramount Pictures chief executive Brian Robbins, and it appears that the courtship may have paid dividends.For I can disclose that Robbins’s streaming channel, Paramount+, has bought the rights to Cookie Queens, a documentary of which Harry and Meghan are executive producers.Paramount+ is a major rival to Netflix, to which the couple were signed when they flew to Jamaica.

At that point, the Sussexes announced that they had signed a ‘multi-year, first-look deal’ with Netflix, which would give the US streaming giant a first option on proposals from their Archewell production company.They said it disproved claims that they were going to part company completely with Netflix.Cookie Queens, which follows ambitious young Girl Scouts competing to sell the most biscuits, was given its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Meghan, herself a former Girl Scout, said she was drawn to the project after seeing early footage.However, it fared so badly on its opening weekend in US cinemas that it was beaten by a compilation of cat videos.Ex-son-in-law of ‘City Superwoman’ reveals new love Mercury Prize-winning singer Benjamin Clementine with Hollywood actress Lana Parrilla Following the collapse of his marriage to ‘City Superwoman’ Dame Helena Morrissey’s musician daughter Flo earlier this year, Benjamin Clementine has found love again.I can reveal that the Mercury Prize-winning singer, 37, is going out with Hollywood actress Lana Parrilla, 49, who stars in the hit US fantasy series Once Upon A Time with Jamie Dornan and Robert Carlyle.The couple made their red-carpet debut this week at the series two premiere of The Gentlemen, in which Benjamin plays a former soldier.‘They started seeing each other earlier this year,’ confirms a source close to the couple. ‘Benjamin is serious about her and he’s already introduced her to his children.

Surely not a rival to Eden Confidential?If it wasn’t for 6ft 8in Greg Davies, Stephen Merchant would be the tallest comedian in Britain.There is no doubt, however, that he’s one of the richest.Merchant, who’s 6ft 7in, made more than £10 million last year. Newly published accounts for television production company, SJJM Ltd, disclose that it has amassed more than £41million.Merchant, 51, created The Office, Extras, and Life’s Too Short with Ricky Gervais.The Bayeux Tapestry, which was viewed at the British Museum this week by King Charles and French President Emmanuel Macron, shouldn’t have that name, claims television historian Janina Ramirez. ‘It is not a tapestry but rather an embroidery, and it was made in England, most probably by nuns at Barking Abbey.‘It should be known as a “mistresspiece” rather than a “masterpiece”, as every stitch we see was made by women.’Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes has written four books, which have all failed to arouse any interest at home. ‘My partner Heather [Sutherland] doesn’t read my books,’ the 85-year-old actress says of the Australian historian, 83. ‘She hasn’t read any of them.
