Meghan Markle took a private jet with entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima to attend a one-day business summit in the oh-so tony Hamptons.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was in attendance at the G9 Ventures Summer Summit hosted by Amy Griffin, wife of billionaire hedge fund founder John Griffin, at their $13 million home.

The Riven Rock resident was reportedly there to pick up tips on her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.

Others at the event included fellow Montecito resident Gwyneth Paltrow, Laura Dern, Reese Witherspoon, newswoman Diane Sawyer, cosmetics tycoon Bobbi Brown, and fashion designer Misha Nonoo.

Developing BRATS

Montecito actor Rob Lowe has been developing a sequel to his 1985 film St. Elmo’s Fire with Columbia Pictures filming with his co-star Andrew McCarthy after his BRATS documentary.

“The studio and I have been talking about it for four months,” the 60-year-old Emmy nominee told Entertainment Tonight.

“BRATS has created excitement about it. But it’s still in the very, very, very, very, very early stages.”

Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, and Ally Sheedy starred in the original $10 million Joel Schumacher-directed film which went on to earn $37.8 million at the global box office.

Remembering Robert Fellowes

On a personal note, I remember Robert Fellowes – the late Queen Elizabeth’s former private secretary and former brother-in-law of the late Princess Diana, having been married to her sister, Jane, for 46 years – who has died at the age of 82.

Fellowes, who was later elevated to the peerage, was considered one of the monarch’s most trusted advisers between 1990 and 1999.

After leaving Palace duties in 1999, he returned to his work in the City in private banking with Barclays.

I remember a friend, a fellow palace employee, telling me he only saw Fellowes lose his temper once soon after Diana died.

The Royal Family had been pushing for a private family funeral with the Spencer family after her divorce from Prince Charles because she no longer had royal status.

“Do you really want her brought back to London in a Harrods van!” he erupted, a reference to Diana’s relationship with Dodi Fayed, whose father Mohamed al Fayed, owned the legendary department store Harrods.

An absolute gentleman and loyal royal courtier…
