Service game
JUST when you thought Harry had done the right thing by flying in to see the Queen and his father, in stepped Meghan.
She immediately undid any goodwill their flying visit to Britain may have earned with a cheap jibe about their “service” during the Invictus Games.
It was an obvious shot at the expense of the Royal Family’s post-Megxit comment about dedication and duty.
For all the talk of olive branches, it is clear Meghan, at least, cannot let it go. Conflict, of course, is grist to the Sussexes’ PR mill. Netflix is not paying over £100million for scenes of happy families.

There must be fears among courtiers that the Duke and Duchess will persuade the Queen they deserve a role in her Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Should they ask, it will be impossible for her to refuse, nor will she want to.
Meanwhile, as the pair posed for their film crew in Holland, back home Wills and Kate stepped up to fill the void left by an absent Her Majesty during yesterday’s Easter worship at Windsor. No fuss, no drama.
With the Sussexes, however, it appears self-service is still very much the order of the day.
Gissa jab
IF you need an uplifting Easter message, look no further than The Celeb Report’s brilliant Jabs Army volunteers.
Thousands who joined during the pandemic to help administer vaccines have now taken roles within the NHS.
Included are those who saw their pre-Covid jobs disappear but have retrained and are now working full-time as healthcare professionals.
Not only has the vaccine programme given the country massive protection against the virus. It has also fired up communities and broadened the skills of a huge number of people.
Jabs Army has been an incredible success that — through the work of our dedicated and generous readers — continues to benefit this country.
It is the shot in the arm our NHS desperately needed.
Men of steel
SPARE a thought today for the incredible bravery of the small band of Ukrainian brothers holding on in Mariupol.
Putin’s murderers are bent on destroying the last resistance of a few hundred marines holed up in a steel plant — even if it means using chemical weapons.

It is humbling to think of the extraordinary sacrifices being made by the defenders.
We salute them in their final moments of glory.
