Meghan has relaunched herself with perfect timing, unless your name is Kate

BROCCOLI stalks. Beetroot. Brussels sprouts. Red pepper. More broccoli. White turnip. All massaged together in a big bowl with, I'm guessing, olive oil for a delicious dish of wholesome roasted vegetables.

The pictures released of Meghan making stuff to eat in a professional setting - with one shot featuring an actual cook behind her -give a steer about what we can look forward to from her new venture, a cooking and lifestyle brand: American Riviera Orchard.

Given the Duchess's well-known attention to detail, are we actually surprised that the launch coincides with the absence from the field of her nonfriend, Kate? While the princess is recovering from surgery and from the pasting she got for doctoring her family photos, here's Meghan, all too visible, all too glamorous. Suck that up, Kate.

Another more hilarious picture shows this hard-working mother of two in her huge, softly lit kitchen, dressed in spotless cream, sprinkling something into a tasteful white bowl with none of the mess that attends making anything at all chez McDonagh. Nope, this is cooking as lifestyle; cue for a lovely bowl of lemons, possibly from an orchard. It's to coincide with the launch of a cookery series on Netflix. Can't wait. Can you? This, folks, is the relaunch of Meghan.
