Harry & Meghan ‘Clashing More Than Ever’ | Meghan Crowned VILLAIN OF THE YEAR | Thomas Markle

This week on Recollections May Vary, Kinsey Schofield and The Nerve’s Maureen Callahan unpack a fresh round of Harry and Meghan headlines.     Meghan Markle has been branded “villain of the year” and a “Montecito diva” by LA boutique Kitson, which featured her in a cheeky “holiday hypocrites” window display that has quickly gone viral. We also explore Meghan’s “ultimate mortification” over the sluggish performance of her lifestyle brand, As Ever. How does it compete with Goop? Spoiler alert… it doesn’t.     The conversation then turns to what sources describe as Harry and Meghan’s “year from hell,” marked by professional setbacks, dwindling friendships, staff turnover, strained family ties, and growing concern that 2026 could be even worse. Insiders claim the couple is emotionally frayed, clashing more than ever, and struggling to regain momentum after a series of disappointments.     Finally, we examine Prince Harry’s surprising attempt to pivot into humor to rehabilitate his public image, spotlighting his interview with Hasan Minhaj and scripted comedy bits with Stephen Colbert. Is this a fresh strategic reset or a sign of desperation?    Masa Chips: Ready to give MASA or Vandy a try? Get 25% off your first order by going to http://masachips.com/KINSEY and using code KINSEY.
