PLATELL PEOPLE: Oh Meghan, if only you had learned from Kate

After breaking up with Prince William at one point, Kate Middleton was called by a reporter.

"I'm so sorry," she says. "I have never made a comment to the press before and I do not think it would be wise to start now." Wise words, indeed.

The couple is quickly reunited, is married and is now the proud parent of three beautiful children.

Despite the sneers and snobbery that had been directed against Kate when she started going out with a prince, she never showed herself to be tempting.

She never complained of references to her non-royal origins or her mother's previous career as a stewardess.

For my sins, I, too, stupidly made some barbarous remarks – nicknamed it Waity Katey and saying that staying idle, aside from admiring the audience, was her forte.

Kate has since proved that she was made of very severe things. Over the years, she judiciously and studiously sought advice from William, his family and courtiers to become king. This patient supervision has borne fruit.

These are lessons Meghan, the Duchess of Susbad, must learn quickly.

Clearly she is stubborn. Even before marrying Harry, she told the world that she would shorten her honeymoon to "take the lead" as a feminist and compbadionate activist.

It is not surprising then that this week, in what felt like a cynical public relations exercise, some of his closest confidants paid him a glowing tribute to an American magazine.

Meghan was colluding in the long article, which contained intimate details of her personal life and claimed that she was the victim of bullying abroad, or her "besties" were doing her a disservice.

I'm afraid the honeymoon period is over for Meghan. Rather than "touching the ground running," it may fall flat on your stomach.

If only she had spent more time learning from her sister-in-law, she might have realized that the successful marriage to the Queen's family is a marathon, not a sprint.

We could forgive Kate if she reads the headlines this week such as "Meghan may be playing with fire" and smiles ironically.

Maybe the birth of Meghan's baby will bring the two women closer together. If that was the case, William and Harry would surely be happy.

But just as you can not choose your family, you can not choose your sister-in-law. My advice to Meghan would be: learn from Kate and do not compete with her; follow his example and do not run away from it.

Above all, relax and take pleasure in marrying your prince and are about to become a mother.

I'm always caught with Neeson

I am one of those spectators who contributed to Liam Neeson's Taken trilogy, making $ 929 million (718 million pounds sterling) at the global box office.

In a world where people so often feel helpless in the face of injustice, one can identify with one's vengefulness.

Revenge is an emotion as natural as love.

And despite the premiere of Neeson's latest revenge movie, Cold Pursuit, which was canceled after his controversial – and widely misunderstood – comments about wanting to kill a black man to avenge a raped friend, I do not doubt that the film will be distributed to cinemas.

And I'll queue to see him.

The very special love of Geldof

Bob Geldof is scruffy and moralistic. But the sight of him walking with his daughter-in-law shows another aspect of his character.

Tiger Lily, 22, is the child of her ex-wife Paula and the man for whom she left him, singer Michael Hutchence.

Geldof adopted her as a little girl after the death of both her parents a few months apart.

He is famous for his global charities, but for Bob, it seems clear that charity and love begin at home.

A new bill aims to end the fault-based divorce system and allow couples to separate without engaging in a "blame game".

This can reduce the pain for some couples. But children who see their parents separate and no longer live with their father and mother can also suffer tremendously.

No legislation can alleviate their suffering.

While they were celebrating their escape from a prison after being chained on a plane to Stansted to prevent the deportation of people to Africa, a group of protesters claimed that their ten-year trial weeks was an "injustice" that would "drastically limit" their ability to work and travel.

What about the work and travel projects of the countless frustrated pbadengers whose flights were interrupted because of their actions?

Indeed, the judge told the so-called selfish "Stansted 15" – many of whom came from wealthy backgrounds – that she had arrived "dangerously close" to bring about a catastrophe.

The bare truth of John

Like so many others, John Humphrys will be sorely missed after hanging up his headphones from the Today program. My mornings will never be the same again.

However, what happened yesterday may have convinced him that he had made the right decision.

During Radio 4's flagship broadcast, he was interviewed by a woman who then stripped her clothes to reveal the slogan "Brexit leaves Britain naked". A puerile cascade, especially on the radio.

"Is not this just exhibitionism?

No one can replace this titan who daily exposes the powerful and so-called experts to be emperors without clothes.

Weisz a winner

Rachel Weisz, Oscar nominee, returns to the red carpet at the age of 48 and has just had her second child.

The actress exudes self-confidence and a knowing smile that seems to say, "I do not need a thin body, nor to post it, nor to win film prizes."

While Bob Marley sings in Satisfy My Soul, she must rightly feel "like a contest winner."

Just a few months after the wedding of Justin Bieber and the model Hailey Baldwin, they are currently following a "couple therapy".

Hailey says, "The fact is that marriage is very difficult. It's really difficult.

Looks like Justin's awful tattoos will stay longer with him than his wife.

Westminster display board

Conservative MP Ross Thomson was so drunk in the bars of Westminster that he would have fumbled several men. Any 31-year-old born in Aberdeen who can not hold a drink does not deserve the Whip Party. Clear it!

Ministers plan to postpone Brexit until 24 May. Not a chance. This would mean that MPs will work during the three weeks of Easter holidays.

Donald Tusk, a tyrant from the EU, inquired about the "special place of hell" for the Brexiteers. I hope the devil keeps a warm seat for Tusk – guilty of several deadly sins, such as anger, envy and pride.

After talking about anti-Semitism in her party, Jewish Labor MP Luciana Berger received a letter from supporters of Corbyn calling him a "wicked, stinky and lying Jewish Jew." Proud of you, comrades?

Jeff Bezos, the married boss of Amazon, is battling a huge argument after claiming that an American tabloid magazine had threatened to publish erotic pictures that he had sent to his mistress.

What an exquisite irony that the richest man in the world – and a figurehead for the tech giants who interfere in the lives of their customers – can not buy privacy to hide his own treacherous badual exploits.

Promoting a film in which she plays the war reporter Marie Colvin who was killed in Syria, Rosamund Pike was questioned about her ability to handle the horrors Marie experienced on the battlefield.

"Yes, because I spend a lot of fear," she replied. "Even though I'm almost destroyed by this, I continue."

Come on, Luvvie. Comparing Marie's bravery to your pampered life as a Hollywood star is a mockery and an insult.

With medical experts demanding screen time limitation on children's social networks, it will not be long before parents who let their children play with electronic gadgets for too long are accused of abuse.
