Part 4 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.

Ahh I am trying to get over a never-ending flu, but thanks for the reads

Can't wait to see what Meghan does with her new venture!

Let’s hope then the loud minority have very deep pockets otherwise I can’t see them generating a huge turnover with this latest effort

You'd have to sell an awful lot of saucepans to generate an income needed to support a US royal lifestyle

I don't think it will be a problem for them honestly. Much like the people who claimed to hate them, they still flocked to buy Spare, watched Harry & Meghan, and consume everything they put out.

At this rate, the people who claim to hate them are really the ones funding their lifestyle 😂

Mmm not sure they’ll be needing to buy a baking tray though for for gossip and giggles

pipsfromthefuture · 15/03/2024 16:52

Hmm, after 6 years, I wouldn't put anything past them at this point

Do you know what? I looked closer - it looks like they gave Dr Buolawemi the grant after the SXSW panel last week because Meghan is wearing the exact same outfit (it was the earrings that put me on).

Really smart of the NAACP to give Dr Buolawemi her shine by making it distinct from SXSW because there was a real risk it would have been hidden by last week's chatter the digital advocacy space.

Right? It should be interesting and fun to see what they make of it.

Also hope you feel better soon!

Oh no! Poor you
My best friend is in the same boat. Every time she feels better she feels worse if that makes sense

I feel like colds etc are taking forever and ever to go away these days. Hope you feel better soon Pips.

I'm interested to see what Meghan does with this venture, but I agree re the saturated market. I wonder if trying a collab with something like Studio McGhee would have been a good way to test the waters and build a name, but I guess it depends on what products they're actually intending to sell.

pipsfromthefuture · 15/03/2024 17:07

Thanks ladies! 💐

@Roussette oh I know how she feels. I woke up Wednesday only to feel very cheated 😂

Studio McGee's designs are amazing! - a great mix of modern and traditional... I wonder whether Meghan's Montecito mansion has a similar style... can't remember from the glimpses one caught from their Netflix series.

I doubt that ARO would want to start-off with a collab, though, they may be keen to first establish their own design identity?

ArcaneWireless · 15/03/2024 17:35

That or Primark.

The coastal, laid-back style seems very Meghan to me. I also think Shea would be an amazing mentor for anyone trying to start their own business.

But fair point re establishing their own design style.

TallerSally · 15/03/2024 18:19

Totally agree! And she'd have some tips on how to run a successful Netflix show too! The California house they did for the billionaires on Dream Home Makeover (Hilltop Estate) was stunning...

Lovely write-up of the latest Meghan sighting:

"I’ll buy whatever Meghan Markle is selling
Whatever you think of Meghan, this curated lifestyle is utterly enviable (although I’d pass on the tortured period shacked up with the in-laws). She looks bloody great and wouldn’t we all like to mill about barefoot in a Montecito villa with some rescue dogs and Oprah on speed dial? At a time when life can feel like a relentless trudge, she is selling a Californian fantasy. She’s doing a Martha Stewart x Goop – hopefully at a more reasonable price point."

Shame that author can't spell stationery! 😂. Maybe she did mean " stationary" though.

One in every high street, she won't go wrong.

ArcaneWireless · 15/03/2024 18:51

The collaboration could be Primarkle @IsoldeWagner

And will Meghan donate profits to charity as the Duchy of Cornwall does @TallerSally ?

And do after workong all month, donate all your spare money aka profots after all your bills are paid 🤔

Spectre8 · 15/03/2024 19:02

William received £6 million from the duchy since the Queen died. Next year that is due to rise to £30 million

Anything given to charity is the bona vacantia, proceeds from people who died intestate in Cornwall with no traceable relatives

I have to repeat this that I posted earlier before anyone really does think that the duchy or W gives its profits to charity

ChVrches · 15/03/2024 19:27

What has this got to do with the Duchess of Sussex and her dresses?

Roussette · 15/03/2024 19:30

Perhaps scroll back and you will see greendress brought it up in the first place.

Hope that helps.

ChVrches · 15/03/2024 19:38

Oh dear @Roussette I didn't notice that. Ok I see it is about the Duchess of Sussex trying to copy the Royal Family's enterprise with jam etc.
