It’s been a full-on week – I judged a Rabbits in Fancy Dress contest at the Adelaide Royal Show and saw a fella shot out of a cannon – and yet there’s still been energy to mull over one question: what will actually become of Harry and Meghan now?

Meghan even posted a snap to showcase the luxe earthmother vibe she’s hoping to rock as a country duchess. In a giant hat, feet bare, she’s crouched over a dog and a trug – dead set – with a few despondent veggies. I can’t stop laughing. Lady, lots of people have pets and grow food.

But. Even as Harry was signing some wall at a podcast studio in London apropos of nothing and looking rapt at a quasi-princeing gig came the blow from one of his father’s henchmen.
