In the proud tradition of Jimmy Carter's brother Billy, Duchess Meghan Markle is routinely bedeviled by a brother who wants to ride her coattails to hawk some beer.
To that end, Page Six reports that Markle's brother Tom has filmed a new commercial that explicitly parodies his sister, in which Tom plays himself as a cat burglar sneaking into Buckingham Palace to swipe a six-pack of his own beer from the royal vault. To make matters worse, the beer is brewed in Queens.
The ad will reportedly air during the Super Bowl, so at least Markle can take comfort knowing that literally no one in England will be watching. Read more at Page Six.
