Suds spot may be royal pain
THINGS may become scratchy between Prince Harry’s wife and soon maybe also her grandmother-in law. The queen’s stiff upper lip may get stiffer.
Comes now a story you won’t believe. But, believe me, you can believe it.
This Duchess of Sussex’s estranged brother Tom Markle Jr. — who calls Meghan “impossible to deal with” — just filmed a commercial. He did it on Halloween. It’s a beer commercial. And I ask you, what could be nicer for the Royal House of Windsor?
The script — ready? — parodies this Ducchesslite. Plus Her Maj.
Plus the crown jewels. The setting was a Merrick, LI, private estate outfitted with hired furniture and a look-alike throne to signify it’s Buckingham. This is a 60-second ad thumping for New York beer made in (is the palace ready for this?) Queens.
The action? Mrs. Prince Harry’s estranged brother, dressed in black, like a cat burglar, unloads what’s to signify a royal vault. The jewels showcase includes a glittery diamond crown. Then he spots a six-pack of beer. You still with me?
An actor outfitted like a British bobby arrives to thunder: “In the name of the queen, drop everything!”
You won’t believe this — but believe this. Bro Tom lets go of the gems proclaiming, “I’d rather die than drop my [New York beer].” He’s chased. The fake bobbies then guzzle down the remaining suds. In black suit, white coat, tiara and wig Meghan’s look-alike asks, “Got the crown?” Racing into the back seat of a black Rolls he says, “No, I got something better.” They clink bottles and she tells the driver to go.
Its director Steve Stanulis will not confirm or deny, but rumors rumor they want the ad shown during the Super Bowl.
On the set, Tom Markle Jr. said: “Our father’s the one got Meghan to where she was in Hollywood . . . he was her career’s biggest supporter, but once she got on ‘Suits,’ she distanced herself from the entire family and acted like she’s better than any of us.”
And we think Brexit is a big problem.
