I tied a scarf over my head to keep warm.“I ached all over and, when I tried to rest, I began cramping badly.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have their sights set on becoming a “global” brand as they look to focus away from the UK, according to an expert.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are believed to be looking to expand the reach of their brand, which is why they choose to sign multi-million pound deals with global streaming services such as Netflix and Spotify, despite the current lack of content.American PR expert and commentator Eric Schiffer believes that due to Harry and Meghan seemingly being keen to “monetise”, they no longer see the UK as being a big piece of their brand.“Their [Harry and Megan] focus is on global," Mr Schiffer told the Daily Star."The UK is just one piece of the pie and it is a smaller piece in their mind, especially if they are trying to monetise.“They will find a way of creatively maximising their IP, their royal intellectual property.
