The PR Whodunnit?

So what is this all about then?
Who did it and why?
And whoever's PR team is responsible needs tearing off a strip, it's going to backfire.
I know there was a thread about this earlier today but it was deleted due to questions over how genuine the OP was. As this story is everywhere at the moment I thought I would have a try myself and see how we go. Just a couple of preemptive points:

  1. My MN credentials are rock solid so don't anyone even go there😁
  2. Lets also keep some perspective, at the end of the day we are talking about a bunch of privileged and entitled millionaires who likely wouldn't even pee on us if we were on fire and that goes for both 'sides'.

Meghan wrote to King Charles expressing concern about unconscious bias in the Royal Family - report

The letter was reportedly sent after the duchess said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that a senior royal had speculated about how dark her unborn son's skin would be.

when Kim kardasian gets some work done she usually sticks on a blonde wig so people can’t see so easily what’s different. It’s a common trick in Hollywood

Meghan’s cheeks/teeth look subtly different now - she reminds me now of the actress from Beef when she smiles

She looks the same to me at the game - seeing as the promo was prerecorded and she has been seen looking pretty much unchanged at the game, it's obvious that this was the effect of her lighting

This exactly.
This advice is literally handed out to clients at the clinics inside their post op recovery packs.
Her fans will argue until the cows come home that she has had the same hair and face since birth. The more astute who are not promoting a narrative and not deliberately promoting bias will agree among themselves that it couldn't really be more obvious.

And is that a reason to criticise her? She obviously hasn't had the same hair and face/nose since birth, that much is obvious when you look at her teen photos for instance. I'm not a 'fan', but I'm not antiMeghan either and I'm not arguing that she has had some work done. It looks natural so well done her.

I saw the photo and thought I don't like the red tinge to her hair, but at the Lakers game she looked much the same, but it wasn't a close up.

Sudeko · 26/04/2023 15:36

I think the criticism came from the press being briefed that it was all down to a cream. I do not think it was fair to criticize her for wearing coloured contact lenses (which is what she was doing there) even if it is quite passé.

Sudeko · 26/04/2023 15:38

I mean, my mum and her mates used to mess around with coloured contact lenses when they were young. I don't know anyone else who wears them. i haven't even seen them for sale.

I didn't see that cream article. Meghan is quoted as saying it's down to a cream? Really?

I used to wear bright blue contact lenses at one point (they were prescription too). Couldn't see a fucking thing but they looked ummm startling!

Interesting about the cream - I haven’t seen this. Do you have a source?

Perhaps Meghan travelled back in time and borrowed hers from your mum and her friends? I mean, seeing how you haven't seen them on sale, and they are so passe, she clearly time travelled to the past? Or maybe she didn't, and it was a filter or a lighting issue? Because she certainly looked the same as ever yesterday.

Howsimplywonderful · 26/04/2023 16:11

There are so many filters today, I doubt people use coloured contact lenses today

LadyMuckingabout · 26/04/2023 16:26

The article was in yesterday’s Telegrsph - very complimentary. It was quoting her hairdresser and how he has done her looks through the last few years, and also mentioned that her glowing appearance is due to vitamin E (? - can’t remember which vitamin it said) and some cream or other.

jeffgoldblum · 26/04/2023 16:27

I used to work in an opticians before having dd ( I was mostly involved with contact lenses and teaching people how to insert and remove them)
They are still available but are not as popular now , mainly due to cost and comfort, they were never as comfortable as the standard lenses as they tended to be thicker due to the colouring process.
They were never really convincing either, looking at Meghan I would imagine that she is not wearing contacts as I can't see the ushal indicators, however I thought her eyes were simply lighter due to the lighting from the camera source, if your pupils dilate your eye colour is more pronounced and its natural for brown eyed people to have hazel flecks and colouring.

Paris Hilton has worn them for decades, her natural eyecolor is brown

It was definitely lighting & possibly a filter on the camera. Her skin had no texture which is usually a sign of a filter.

She may have had some work done, her top lip looked fuller and slightly less mobile, and possibly also some cheek filler.

Could just all be camera filter and incredibly precise lighting (& make up/contouring ++++).

Fair enough - she looks beautiful and if she has had some fillers they're very well done.

poppysockies · 26/04/2023 17:34

Yes, agree the color differences a probably a filter. But her face has certainly been tweaked, necessitating some recovery time. The cosmetic procedures are only really of interest with regard to the speculation about her recent absence from the public eye.

Howsimplywonderful · 26/04/2023 17:58

@poppysockies

the timing does make me think she was considering attending the Coronation

tend to agree. Assume the negotiations re the children’s participation/apology/spot on the balcony/insert whatever didn’t go their way.

Loving Meghan's new hair. It will be difficult to copy.

mixedrecycling · 26/04/2023 20:07

Would anyone want to copy it? Why?

mixedrecycling · 26/04/2023 20:09

Interesting timing 😀 but I am sure I am being cynical. She had no interest in attending the coronation, given how toxic and racist the RF are.

It's a hair style with a colourant. I'm quite sure it's easy to achieve. It's not washed in stardust and coloured with ground unicorn horn.

Howsimplywonderful · 26/04/2023 21:35

@debbrianna

you do realise there are hair extensions involved in achieving this look (im sure Catherine wears some too) ?

It looks like she’s had her upper eyelids done, to remove her hooded eyes. It looks really good.
Lindsay Lohan had this done a few years ago too.

I’d love to get it done, but it’s expensive, and I’d be too scared in case it gets botched.

It makes such a difference though!
