47: Meghan & Harry's SHOCK return to UK + Dolly Parton's Marketing Genius + The Death of a Pastor's Wife thoughts

Dirty Chats is back after a four week break, and Meghan and Harry are BACK IN THE UK. 

But first, how was my time away overseas? True thoughts about Powerhouse Women? And my take on the horrific true crime doco The Death of a Pastor's Wife. 

First up in Dirty Dish, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have made a shock return to the UK. This from the man who swore he couldn't see a world where he'd bring his family back within a year.

So what changed?

I've got six theories. 

We get into the Cotswolds move, the convenient six-month "trial," the ongoing security battle with King Charles and the RAVEC committee (including the Al-Qaeda plots Harry says were kept from him), and whether this was really a financial flight dressed up as a freedom flight.

Plus the Guy Ritchie casting rumour around The Gentlemen that might have been the smartest piece of newsjacking all year.

And of course I help Meghan out with a new UK marketing plan to claw back her reputation. 

She won't use it, but she definitely should. 

Then in Dirty Business, I'm unpacking why Dolly Parton is a universally loved, and a marketing genius. 

→ How Meghan and Harry's UK return doubles as a reputation-marketing case study (and the image-rehab plan I'd actually run for her)
 → What newsjacking really is, and how a Meghan Markle rumour may have sold Season 2 of The Gentlemen
 → Why Dolly Parton refusing to change her look was the smartest brand decision of her career
 → How "leaning into your Dolly-ness," aka doubling down on what makes you YOU, is the Seth Godin principle most business owners are too scared to use
 → Why saying no to the biggest star in the world eventually made Dolly millions
