Meghan at glitzy launch party

[Twistybrancher]

Meghan in LA this week at some fancy launch party. Think these are her friends who own a high end salon.

The wavy hair has made a return, I’m guessing this is the new look she’s going for, for the rebrand. Jury is out out for that particular style- mid parting, flat waves. Thinks she suits a side part, with full waves. But hey!

Personally I like the paired down eye make up look. I always thought the heavy lashes and dark shadows were a bit much for royal duties (I feel Kates is far too heavy on the smokey eye too!)

But it sure does make her look different. I do think ita just make up and not surgery…but other posters are better at spotting these things.

Harry not there. They are her friends, so no real reason but when it’s a social event, doesn’t look great that they aren’t together….again

I also think she’s wearing the a new necklace….that was promoted by the firm on Instagram….that is engraved with Archie and lili’s names

That woman could have played her hand so differently and been well respected in the UK, aswell as made a real difference with charity work etc. She couldn’t have got it more wrong. Suspect Harry is quite unhappy. She’s shown herself to be vain, insincere, manipulative and disrespectful to people that treated her well. They will divorce in years to come and she will remain very much Z list.

She does look a bit different - something about her eyes?

I prefer not to click on the Mail (because of the enormous number of "legitimate interest" trackers. Would someone be kind and say what the launch was for?

Bloody hell , what on earth “doesn’t look great” about them not being together? They are grown adults with their own interests. Married woman in going out on her own shocker!

Her face looks different somehow.

Because they loved to tell us that they move together like salt and pepper, entwined palm trees, they do everything together….even work together….which Harry was at pains to tell us that his family couldn’t do, but meghan and Harry could….until they couldn’t of course

I'd love it if these 2 stick together for the rest of their days....if only to stick it to the miseries here who love to speculate, even though they obviously don't know them from Adam

Amen to that!!!

I think they realised that together things weren't so well-respected, so now trying to do things alone. He looks a prat when he's at her stuff, and she looks like a clingon at his stuff. So better separately.

So Meghan has invested in her friends hair care line:

In a statement to InStyle, the duchess expanded on her reasons to invest in the new haircare line. “Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that,” Meghan said. “I am so proud to invest in her as a friend and as a female founder.

Perhaps she will sell this product when ARO launches….and will be used a a platform to sell other people’s goods.

So she has invest in:

-Handbag line
-Clevr blends drinks
-Hair care line

These are things an aspirational website could sell, along with ARO branded products.

That’s if it will actually be called ARO…

So think this new hairstyle is to showcase her new investment in the hair products

It’s not her best hair look, feels too flat and heavy for her.

I think it was strange she was all over the photographs….but now that she’s an investor …makes sense. Also makes sense why Harry isn’t there….she keeps the commercial side separate from Harry, who seems to think he can keep a ‘regal’ image…while Meghan is left to bring in the actual cash

Meghan left to bring in the actual cash… You do know he’s a multi millionaire dont you?!

You do know he’s a multi millionaire dont you?!

Odd then he's bleated about being 'cut off' financially by Papa.

@CathyorClaire Well thats making a different point isn’t it? They’re still not strapped

I don't get why a line that seems to ne a joint line between a hair expert and Julia Roberts needs a third party investor.

Is that normal practice?

The hairdresser - whose salon is based in the bohemian LA neighbourhood of Venice - boasts several famous clients, such as Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Sigourney Weaver.

Don't suppose they were there by any chance?

She looks gorgeous as always. It’s nice that she and Harry aren’t joined at the hip and have their own interests. It’s very healthy.

I don't think it's anything to do with Julia Roberts.
She gets her colour done by this hairdresser but I don't think she’s anything to do with the new line.

Well thats making a different point isn’t it? They’re still not strapped

How long do you think his finite and already heavily committed millions will last?

Think she's eased off on the bronzer

Of course we have no idea what's really going on behind the scenes but it's hard to avoid the impression that Meghan is out there working hard investing and trying to earn money whilst Harry is wafting around getting awards, doing the occasional charity event and generally being royal.

And of course she gets all the flack when someone has to fund the house and the lifestyle since Harry has already told us he wants to save his money for the children.

It’s not possible for aro to launch. It’s dead. Or it would be utterly foolish to launch and I don’t think she’s that stupid . It’s As She can’t trademark the name, no way no how. Which means as soon as she launches there will be a thousand duplicates everywhere, every country, exact replicas and everything else.

She will have no control over the brand at all.

Someone can sell American Rivera orchard chocolate penises, nipple tassels. They can sell cheap candles. Crap t shirts. They can sell exactly what she sells, at a lower price point. With the same logo. The same brand. Strawberry jam. With the same branding and label. You name it, anyone can use that brand on it. As it can’t be trademarked. It’s impossible. She can’t launch.

she would need to rename it, to something without “American riviera “ in it. And that’s a major part of the name, it would need to be changed totally.

aro is dead. It died when the trademark was declined.

I agree but I can't put my finger on what is different. She's certainly had Botox. Perhaps because her face is thinner - the Ozempic effect?
