Instagram anniversary post criticism

Posted by Susan T on May 20, 2025, 9:01 am, in reply to "May 20 - This One and His Wife"

Never mind no direct mention of the husband. I find this sentence so unintentionally funny: 'Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories.'

I got a good giggle out of that bit. She's certainly told enough stories to last a lifetime and more.

That photo of pregnant TOW with her belly out for all to see looks, well, fake. Either she photoshopped it or she really did wear a fake bump. It's a grainy black and white picture too and it just looks weird. It looks way too big for her body. And don't get me started again on that ultrasound photo.

Her post was a celebration about her and her alone.

Yep, the "pregnancy" photo is faked. The same with the faked photos of Meghan with the huge pregnant belly and wearing "normal dresses", tight dresses. Not possible. Fake photos, just like the fake person posting them.

That photo and the ultrasound supposedly depicting an in utero Archie crossed all kinds of lines.

MEGHAN'S GUESTS WERE UNEASY, UNCOMFORTABLE & CONFUSED

Posted by Hollie24 on May 23, 2025, 10:10 pm, in reply to "May 20 - This One and His Wife"

Beebs. I haven't watched the show at all, but I have no problem believing that TOW's guests are uncomfortable and confused. My guess is that there were no clear instructions as to what was expected of them (aside from praising TOW). I also suspect that it was difficult to hang out with a narcissist like TOW.

A Double Punch For The Two Ex Royals

Staff shake-up (again)

Posted by Susan T on May 24, 2025, 8:06 pm, in reply to "May 20 - This One and His Wife"

The couple, who left their roles as senior royals in 2020, have dramatically revamped the structure of their staff to make it more like the hierarchical system that has successfully underpinned Prince Harry's family for decades.

Meredith Kendall Maines, a seasoned communications strategist whose role has already drawn comparisons with Sir Clive Alderton, the formidable Private Secretary to King Charles and Queen Camilla, will be at the helm of a team of 11, operating out of Montecito, California, and the UK.

The new operation will be run separately to Archewell, the Sussexes' philanthropic foundation.

The MoS can reveal the restructuring, which will see each senior appointee reportedly earning a six-figure salary, will include:

The duke and duchess each having their own chief of staff;

Harry launching his own as-yet-undisclosed commercial venture in the next few months;

Meghan's lifestyle business, As Ever, expanding its range of products later this year.

Miranda Barbot, TO's new chief of staff, handled the Nigeria tour. If that was an example of her managing "skillfully...".

TOW gets the big guns CoS, naturally. I wish Sarah Fosmo the best of luck. I predict she'll be out the door within six months.

This is weird. It's the second time I've read an article that, after a certain period of time, has been moved behind a paywall.

Never is a long, long time, but I'm pretty sure that I will never again pay to read about these two. I still suffer buyer remorse from purchasing Tom Bower's book.

That's weird. TOW trying to stop the comments? The DM thinking people will pay to read about TOW? Who knows?

I have the E-book of TO's whingefest. I'm not paying another nickel for anything concerning them.

Well, we knew this was coming

Posted by Hollie24 on May 25, 2025, 11:59 pm, in reply to "May 20 - This One and His Wife"

After all the press and attention Charles, Camilla, William, Catherine, and the rest of the working Royal Family have gotten lately, it was inevitable that the Duchess of Mondeceito would post some video to grab the attention she thought she was owed. This time the video features her (natch) and Lili in mother-daughter beekeeper overalls, going out to harvest the honey and the comb. Apparently "Sugar Sugar" was played in the clip, and I truly hope Ron Dante collected some royalties from her using his song.

She's using Lili to try to make herself look good, which is disgusting. Plus what three year-old wants to collect honey and deal with bees? Plus Lili looks shorter in the video, which makes me think TOW did this video awhile ago and made it magically appear to compete with Catherine.

A Tudorial about the bee keeping video. After watching it again, I'm not convinced that's actually TOW or Lili.

I don't care how much protective gear that kid is wearing. Who the h*ll takes a three year old to a bee hive?!

And I'm NOT usually a curmudgeon about things. I am a card-carrying member of "I grew up in the 70s" who never wore a bicycle helmet, and I climbed trees, jay-walked across busy streets, etc.

I wondered that too. It's stupid to put a kid in harm's way like that. Bee stings are much worse for kids than they are for most adults, even if the child isn't allergic.

As long as the child has proper protective gear she'll be fine. Exposing children to nature and husbandry is a good thing, but we're all so annoyed and fed up with Meghan that everything she does grates on our nerves.

Meghan "Hints" At Changes To "As Ever"

Posted by karenl on May 27, 2025, 7:27 pm, in reply to "TOW shares baby naming tips"

"Meghan Markle has hinted she might never restock her jam in an interview with a US business magazine which said she was planning to 'step back to assess' her As Ever brand.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, was speaking about her business and balancing work with motherhood as the first series of her podcast, published by Lemonada Media, comes to a close.

In an interview given to coincide with the final episode of Confessions of a Female Founder, the Fast Company said the Duchess of Sussex wants to 'step back, gather data from the launch, and figure out exactly what As Ever could be.'"

"Meghan revealed the surprising turn As Ever could take - hinting at a future step into the fashion industry - but said for now she is planning to launch a new range of merchandise in early 2026.

'The category of fashion is something I will explore at a later date, because I do think that’s an interesting space for me,' she said.

Her previous store sold out in 45 minutes and contained homely items as well as her long-awaited pots of jam.

Addressing her first online shop, Meghan said Netflix agreed that rather than market her products under their brand, it would make sense for her to have her own store. Netflix already has its own online shop selling brand-related products such as Stranger Things bomber jackets and Squid Game merchandise.

In the interview, the Duchess also revealed she wouldn't know 'what to call herself' if she had to write a resume."
In other words, this venture is yet another, flop, failure. I would not be surprised if As Ever is receiving a ton of complaints for unfilled orders and/or people not receiving refunds for the products they have never received.
She also revealed she "gained 65 lb. with each pregnancy", really heifer? No, you didn't, if you were that heavy, you couldn't walk in high heels. Such a pathological liar.

She's fleeing from real work. The launch was the easy bit. Now she has to keep supplying customers, which is the hard part. She is incapable of hard work, poor thing.

Also, she wants to step back and figure out what As Ever could be? I've never owned a business, but don't most people starting up a company have a clear vision of what they want it to be, and have everything they need to do to make it happen all mapped out and planned *before* they launch? She doesn't have any of that done? O-kay. I'm not surprised.

There's already a fashion brand named "As Ever", so Meghan will have to put on her thinking cap and come up with a different name.

Duchess Designs? High End Harpy? Shrew Shoes?
