I actually think she could have made a far more interesting proposition with luxury stationery. This would tie in with something she is good at as I understand she did calligraphy to put herself through acting school. It's got endless possibilites for high end products which could appeal to all sorts of people. And she certainly seems very passionate about it looking at the style for her monogram and logo for ARO and the tags she put on her jams all beautifully hand written. It's inoffensive and the sort of thing I imagine aristos of yore doing.
Maybe she could launch a course...Learn Calligraphy With the Duchess of Sussex.

Edited

Does she do actual calligraphy or just fancy cursive?

It's from the Gerald Ratner School of Marketing Strategy.

The first examples that come up when you do a Google search are fancy cursive. They are things like the letter to her father, which are in the public domain for other reasons. She might have done other stuff of course that has not been made public.

EmpressOfTheThread · 26/04/2024 16:21

It looks odd though. Most calligraphy is beautiful. She seems to add an insect leg to the upward strokes. The same in that published letter to her father.

Taster calligraphy demos on the website,

I agree. She could have had a Californian theme, pushed the sustainability idea with locally sourced recycled materials, and given a platform to young artists and designers, all of which would be real selling points and topics for videos and podcasts.

@Thatsthewayitisnt

If she branches into art and stationery we will know she reads Mumsnet. Or at least her hired help does. 🤣

Why did Chrissy and John look so confused when they were asked about the jam at that premiere? They looked had forgotten they were gifted the jam and then suddenly remembered and were super awkward. And then she started talking about Flamingo Estate’s honey instead. Very odd!

ShamedBySiri · 26/04/2024 17:49

Slightly off topic but as an example of someone who uses her private jets (note plural) the way some people use taxis here is Taylor Swift's 2023 flight itinerary.

I find it oddly relaxing to watch. Like a skilled macrame crafter. Or an etch a sketch artist.

Megan can only dream. They will never be in that league.

Btw I'm sure someone can remind me. Was there something about TS throwing shade on Meghan? Leaving a podcast invitation unanswered or something? I can't remember.

If I remember correctly Meghan asked Taylor to take part in a podcast . One of Taylor’s staff declined and - apparently- Meghan wasn’t happy .

Wow, that looked awkward and really funny, she looked like she couldn't remember what Jam they were asking about, Did she get the Orchard jam mixed up with Flamingo estate? it was so weird.

Their faces when they were asked how did they meet H&M and have they gone out with them on a double date, they were totally confused.😂😂

I suspect both her and John were totally off their rocker, to be fair though. .

Could you please fill me in or add a link. Idk what this is referring to. Thanks.

Thedom · 26/04/2024 19:06

I just found it now on this YouTube channel, Chrissy and John were interviewed on a red carpet and asked about the Jam, it took a few seconds for it to register with C what they were talking about and then she referenced Flamingo Estate. John interrupts, like he has just remembered they need to mention the sandwich.

The video is a load of rubbish, so fast forward to the 10.55 mark, they don't show it in a single reel, they interrupt it with their silly commentary, but it gives you an idea of what happened. I really think both Chrissy and John are high as kites and totally out of it,

TWiN TALK: Chrissy Teigen praises Flamingo Estate! Forgets ever tasting Meghan Markle’s jam!

Im not opening up that link, I don’t want to see another image of Chrissy eating a sandwich with white stuff dripping from her mouth 😖.

why would Meghan send Chrissy a gift ? She’s a vile bully .

Thedom · 26/04/2024 19:27

It's not Chrissy eating, I wouldn't do that to you, I agree, it was gross, already had Nacho with his gross teeth, we don't need more grossness.

It's Chrissy trying to remember 'the Jam' and how she became friends with H&M. It took her a bit to remember both.

ZipZapZoom · 26/04/2024 19:29

Gosh you weren't kidding, having just watched the clip from the red carpet they both look completely off their heads. He probably couldn't even tell you what day it was let alone what flavour the jam was.

I actually really hope Meghan didn't pay them to promote her products because she certainly didn't get her money's worth and they also bigged up her bloody competition. 😅

FlouncetteLaFroth · 26/04/2024 19:35

H didn’t hide a stash in the jam pan did he?

queenofarles · 26/04/2024 19:36

probably Meghan wants her jam and lemons back after that interview !
they don’t even know each other personally? Weird to send someone a gift you don’t know personally ? Perhaps it’s Paid ADs?

Vespanest · 26/04/2024 19:41

I not sure if they’re off their heads or playing the game, anything for publicity. Checked chrissy instagram she couldn’t even be bothered to follow ARO even though plugging the jam, she does follow flamingo. They certainly made it about themselves.

He inherited a lot but their outgoings must be enormous. Just the cost of maintaining that mansion would be eye watering. You'd need to employ several people to look after it. Plus there's the security they surround themselves. Can they really afford to live like that forever without finding another source of revenue? They plunged themselves into this situation without thinking it through.

My point is that they don't need to live in a vast, faux-Spanish-style mansion in one of California's most expensive areas. Similarly with their security - it's a function of the crazy amounts of publicity they are constantly creating with all of these relentless 'projects' and appearances.

JSMill · 26/04/2024 20:40

@OhMargaret 100%!

EmpressOfTheThread · 26/04/2024 21:04

The trouble is, they're living as royals, having rejected the royal way of life, but wanting the royal wealth and privilege without the commitment and work. Costly.

Chrissy has a friendship with the guys that own the Flamingo Estate. She once turned up to their home thinking it was a restaurant ( I have no idea either) and has since become friends.

So strange why she’s promoting the jam of someone who tried to do a deal with FE but failed, so has ripped off the ideas instead.

I see they are reporting there is no suitable CEO yet so it may be a deal with Netflix with them appointing a CEO. I'm wondering if this was the case all along. Ie that Netflix were after their pound of flesh.
