Part 2 of a nice, unproblematic thread to discuss some of the fab outfits from the Duchess of Sussex, and some of the many great causes she (and Harry) and Archewell supports.

Thank you @skullbabe . Well said.
And I follow WK too. They are providing food in southern Gaza at the moment. And Ukraine

@Viviennemary Why does anybody need to know what Meghan is doing over the next two weeks. She isn't part of the royal family now and represents nobody. Yet still seeks the limelight in spite of moving away to seek a private life. It's wearing a bit thin.

She's living her life. She is being papped. Paps sell the pictures. The tabloids buy them. No idea how this is seeking the limelight.

She's only being 'papped' by paid photographers. There is video footage of her walking across the car park from the gym with a bodyguard. Her hands are by her side the whole walk. Then we have still photos with her arm up displaying the bracelet given by Charles. So she must have walked across the car park twice to ensure the correct angled shots were taken. Just laughable.

Whats laughable in the insatiable need to paint her as a villain even when just walking across a carpark. Let her live and let us have one thread where she isn't attacked over nothing. Thanks.

Yes, how dare Meghan walk across a car park to go to the store or wherever. Even worse, how dare she walk back to her car when finished.

Meghan doesn’t have to set up a pap shot, pictures of her are in great demand. But truly, even if she did set up a pap shot, I don’t care. What I care about is that so many women are determined to paint her as an evil villain. It’s fucking small minded and utterly pathetic. And shows me that some women are still so disempowered, and in service to patriarchy, that the only power they feel is the feeling of very transitory power they get when putting another woman down, trying (and failing) to make her small, in order to feel better about themselves. It’s utterly utterly pathetic.

Absolutely SPOT ON!

I really enjoyed seeing the black ensemble in motion whilst Meghan was at Harvest House earlier in the year (in the Archewell Impact video) - she really suits monochrome well.

whiskylover2 · 13/12/2023 14:36

Meghan is often cited as the most famous woman in the world, so I agree it’s unlikely she needs to set up pap shots.

TallerSally · 15/12/2023 10:42

These polls are utterly ridiculous, as M&H are private citizens spending their own money on philanthropy, not working royals.

But this grudging recognition is still funny...

Completely one-sided, of course, as there is no mention of Spare being Amazon's top-selling book in the UK in 2023...

let me repeat that: Spare. Was. Amazon's. Top. Selling. Book. In. The. UK. In. 2023 !!!!!

No mention of Meghan winning the Women of Vision Award in May...

No mention of MEghan's Archetypes podcast winning a Gracie award in May too, for top entertainment podcast host...

No mention of the resounding success of Invictus 2023....

etc etc

But we are all to believe that M&H had THE MOST AWFUL YEAR and are "Hollywood Losers" (some fools at Hollywood Reporter seem to think they are in Hollywood)...

The non-stop cussing is showing the cussers up for what they are - hysterically incapable of impartiality, obsessed and spiteful. And it's NOT WORKING, particularly with folks younger than 45...

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and 'Spare'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle surge in popularity

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were branded "losers" by "The Hollywood Reporter," but ended a rough year on a high with Americans.

Iwantcakeeveryday · 15/12/2023 10:57

@TallerSally I saw, didn't click on the links, but 5 days ago the mirror was saying their popularity was plummeting but today its soaring! same paper!

Meanwhile, extensive hacking by MGN!!

Roussette · 15/12/2023 11:10

Well said @TallerSally

Bear in mind that GB News (Dan Wootton and other 'journalists' hour long slagging off of H&M all the time)... have this headline on an article...
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry surge in popularity as couple unscathed by Endgame fallout

This is GBNews who hate them!!!!

I think news is skewed on here or people are blind to the reality.

Great post!

People don’t understand that the news they are receiving about H&M has largely been passed through a prism of hatred and plain old racism and they just read it and believe it to be true.

The colour of her suit looks lovely on her.

Totally agree. I think those coffee and beige and tan colours really suit her. I love the colour and when I was blonde it suited me, but now I'm grey it doesn't!

losingtheplot999 · 16/12/2023 23:10

Apparently she was only "allowed" to wear those colours when in the royal family wasn't allowed to wear anything bright.

queentim · 17/12/2023 04:14

Ooo this chocolate shade looks beautiful and warm on her. I love it.

Yummy!

Yet she is choosing them now?

rosyglowcondition · 19/12/2023 21:14

Who knew a 4 year old would ask for a 'Leica' camera. Mine wanted Fisher Price at that age 😂😂😂😂🤣

skullbabe · 20/12/2023 03:35

Apparently she was only "allowed" to wear those colours when in the royal family wasn't allowed to wear anything bright.

She said that she purposely chose to wear neutral colours to avoid clashing with other royals when out on engagements because it was unlikely that they would also be wearing the same colours. Most people would think that this is considerate but it has morphed through the anti Meghan machine into her claiming that the royals stopped her from wearing colour and her not liking neutrals.

skullbabe · 20/12/2023 03:54

Children as young as 3 recognise brands and this recognition is helped by exposure to things in their household - I knew the difference between Sony and Panasonic TVs and VHS and Betamax at 4 because of what was important to my father.

ALittleTeawithmilk · 20/12/2023 04:17

I continue to be amazed at the forensic focus of some people when it comes to Meghan Markle’s life. The people complaining about the couple invading the privacy of the royal family have no problem investigating her life to the nth degree Meghan’s life and actions. And then they can’t even report on it correctly so much of the time. She never said she was not ‘allowed’. But that doesn’t fit some people’s narrative does it?

So cute!

Lovin' it 🤗

The more the haters hate, the more we all keep smiling!

Ah there's fun down to earth Meghan out for a photo shoot.
