What next? What did the launch aim to achieve? Did it get the desired result?

We could all be more stunning than Meghan for all anyone knows!

I honestly don’t think a few individuals (far too old enough to know better) taking to chat forums each day is going to impact the lives of this young (relative to their average critic) royal couple. But it’s amusing that some think their actions are so impactful. Meghan still wakes each morning as a member of the royal family and a multi-millionaire with the same influence, and social and business opportunities that few could hope to achieve – despite any derision from people who have far less to boast about. All that, and being incredibly beautiful. That wouldn’t attract much envy, would it? Hmmm...

This is an unusual post. It reads like you’re so obsessed with her you’re taking any criticism personally. You also don’t know the age of the posters on here, but seem to feel calling them old is some sort of put down .

i think it’s unusual to be so besotted with someone you don’t know, to talk in such exalted terms, but no one here thinks they have an impact, it is simply a chat forum and we are discussing rhe behaviour of the pair of them.

i can assure you I am not envious of Megan. I am very happy with my husband and have no desire to be married to Harry, who I find tiresome, spiteful, entitled, and worst of all lacking intelligence,or to be a member of the royal family and all that comes with it, I’m financially secure and happy with my appearance and don’t wish to look like her . I would abhor to be in her shoes, with all the mistakes they have publicly made and to be estranged from all my and my husbands family , and to have lost so many friends.

i understand for you she is incredibly beautiful , rich and want to be part of the royal family, so you see much to envy, but I think you need to accept many people do not see it the same, and as such it is neither age or envy related the fact we do not like their behaviour.

Clearly Harry, Meghan and the Sussex Squad believed otherwise. Because they orchestrated efforts to drive a very specific narrative on SM and to silence anyone who expressed opinions contrary to their own.

Well said. I would pay good money NOT to have her life.

Seriously though, like the woman or not, doesn’t it make you feel uncomfortable that any young mother is pilloried to that extent, no matter who it is or what they have supposed to have done?

I never understand this line when it’s trotted out, why on earth does being a ‘young’ mother (she is middle aged by the way) give someone a free pass to behave badly without challenge?

Particularly when the thing this "young mother" is being held to account for is the sustained bullying of another "young mother".

BigWillyLittleTodger · 09/04/2024 18:11

The only woman I’m envious of is Susie Wolff because she is married to my crush Toto! (I think Susie is fab by the way!)

Get behind me in the queue @BigWillyLittleTodger 🤣

Get your hands off Toto, I saw him first

<puzzled at the unnecessary departure announcement>

Bye then?

At least they didn't call anyone "goady".
Yet.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 09/04/2024 18:16

I bagsied him first! He’s all mine! 🤣

IsoldeWagner · 09/04/2024 18:19

I look at my lovely family and think - this is a woman who had a huge, £multimillion society wedding in an exclusive venue, and the only relative she invited was her mother.
No, no envy there.

I was replying to the statement that my post came across as manipulative because I described MM as a young mother which I think is a little unfair tbh.

I disagree it’s manipulative because, being in my sixth decade, that’s how I see her. And I think anyone raising young children has stress enough in their lives without being pilloried in the media.

Well I'm in my seventh decade and she is not a young mother.

No, she’s not.

to the poster who said it, the reason it looks manipulative it reads like you described her as such to illicit sympathy, very few people would call Megan a young mother. I suspect including Megan herself.

Well if that's the case, maybe she could stop putting herself in the limelight?

As for "pilloried in the media", don't you think her actions and behaviour speak for themselves?!

You will find it was others who brought up the Sussex Squad and accused me of being a member of the tribe if you read back thanks.

I pointed out that Mumsnet don’t want us to go down that path.

We have different perspectives about age I guess, no biggie.

What’s wrong with launching a brand?

<Trying to stay polite while being accused of manipulation, disingenuousness, , being a member of a tribe that I don’t know anything about, not being credible, of derailing, of wearing a tinfoil hat, and of other things similar to OliverTwisted’s post at 16:56pm>

Thanks everyone. Bowing out now as free and fair debate is not possible.

You are totally extracting the urine...!!

Theunamedcat · 09/04/2024 18:45

Nothing wrong with launching a website bit off to launch it at the same time as the diana awards I get why it was done the diana effect still exists and anyone googling the awards will most likely trip over her website so tasteless but business savy

But no product? interest will wane and tbh anything she brings out now will not live up to the hype

I had my first two DC at 29 and 31, then my third in my forties. So was I a young mother, then an old mother, then a young one again🤔

Serenster · 09/04/2024 18:56

With a restaurant, you want to start with lower footfall, so you can check everything is working, that the staff know what they're doing and that the supply chains work.

You 100% need to do that with an online business too - particularly if you’re anticipating you’ll be popular and get loads of orders. Ordering systems/quality control/despatch and customer service arrangements can all fall over really quickly in an online business that gets a lot of orders. There are loads of cautionary tales out there of brands getting that wrong.

Even if the jam does exist in a Chinese warehouse

^I’m still laughing at that one!

Some of this could be a good comedy / satirical script.

LaMarschallin · 09/04/2024 19:00

I thought being in one's "sixth decade" meant to be in one's 50s - surely the first decade is 0-10?
I'm in my 50s and wouldn't say someone in their early 40s was a "young mother".
I had my DCs in my mid-late 20s, which didn't feel especially young then either, but times change.
