No matter how preeningly narcissistic the couple may seem, surely even they must now have realised what the source of their woes is? The fact is: people were only interested in hearing what Harry and Meghan had to say when they were dishing the dirt on the royal family.Hence, in January last year, the record-breakingly vast sales of Harrys memoir Spare. with all its eye-popping claims about his brother, father and stepmother. But every time he, and Meghan, start talking about any other topic – be it sport, jam or social justice – the world turns off. No one cares. Now that the Sussexes have finished flogging all the family secrets, they’ve got nothing that anyone wants.

There is part of me that does feelsorry for them too. I mean 2024 has been a disaster, off the back of 2023 which was another disaster. It’s not going to get any better. Reap what you sow, so we knew it was coming their way but it’s all a bit sad and pathetic now. The faux tours, cards from ‘the office of’, as time goes on, the more pathetic that will look because they have lost all connection to the Royals

This must be their year of reckoning. He won’t win his cases, they will lose Netflix, the brand will face further set backs, they realise that their kids will never have a royal Christmas at Sandringham or summer at Balmoral, ever. In fact they are unlikely to ever meet the King again.

Its all came off the rails. We all knew it would happen. Many could even see the disaster impending from the engagement announcement. But it’s still hard to watch and that’s what makes me feel a bit sorry for them.

Prepared to be flamed! 😬

has William spoken out about Fayed??

its amazing that people were posting on this thread on christmas day.

Why do you assume everyone who posts here is a Christian/celebrator of Christmas?

GiveMeSpanakopita - Totally agree with your post. We're now also witnessing the lies and cover up involved in the Biden presidency, it's all coming to light that MSM were completely aware of his cognitive decline. We could see he was struggling, but were told to ignore the evidence as he's 'sharp as a tack'. Legacy media were completely shameless about it, too.

Pretending to be one thing (a philanthropist), whilst very obviously being another (greedy, self serving), is a strange business model and has hopefully now had it's day as people become more aware of PR tactics.

Anyone with functioning eyes and ears could see he was in cognitive decline. That the MSM thought they could gaslight the public into thinking otherwise is the really sinister issue. Sinister, because they clearly seek to influence rather than inform, and that is not journalism. They are arrogant, and the contempt in which they hold the public's level of intelligence is breathtaking. Although the flip flopping of the Morning Joe idiots is very amusing.

Which media outlets were gaslighting about Bidens decline and what was their commercial rationale for this activity?

Or celebrates it in such a way that it crowds out all other interests and activities!

CNN and MSNBC both had articles in the summer claiming that videos of Biden were ‘cheapfakes’ and had been edited to make him look frail and disoriented

This was probably the worst. Claiming what we seen with our eyes was wrong, we were mistaken. The definition of gaslighting:

Did you fall for this fake video of Joe Biden at the G7 in Italy?

Cheapfakes are real images or videos that are simply misattributed or deceptively edited. Their power is in their simplicity.

Do I feel sorry for them? Nah. But I feel exhausted for them, having to come up with self-promotion ideas all the time, and all of them failing.

I watch the Sisley Twins on YouTube occasionally, and they thought the next plan would be merching “English” style children’s clothes, as per Lilibet’s outfit on the Xmas card. We know the name “Lilibet’s Closet” has been patented, so this could have legs. I’m not sure how many customers there are for this type of outfit: I wore flowery dresses and white lace socks in the early 70s!

Samcro · 31/12/2024 14:45

yet I have read people asking if Harry has said anything,

William's not the one who has relatively recently talked publicly about the 'unexplained' circumstances and 'unanswered' questions of Diana's death. It was Harry who gave the interview to ITV last year.

So, apart from completely ignore the matters arising these past 6 months around the Fayed outfit - which is unlike him - what's he done? Nothing, it would appear.

Can’t you imagine how cringe-worthy that would be for her (Lilibet) in five years time?

Thedom · 01/01/2025 17:23

Looks like they are about to unveil the kids, Harry promoting the surfing place with a photo of Archie joining him, Meghan posted a video on a previously empty Instagram account of herself dancing on a beach, comments not allowed.

The poster who said the next step for them would be back to her efforts of being an influencer wasn't wrong.

Aspargar · 01/01/2025 17:27

They clearly think 2025 is going to be a memorable year for them….im not so sure.

The video is very cringey. I’m guessing this is linked to the lifestyle/cooking show. Why did they have to release Harry shot it though? Weird. It’s like they are trying to prove they are still together.

She’s not posted this on ARO which I think is dead. I’m guessing this is to replace ARO and she hope we forget all about it.

She isn’t going to run into the same TM issues if she uses her name

I thought that photo of Archie and Harry surfing was a spoof! It’s so weird!

is it another fake ? 🙄I

A pap shot of the kids on, or just before, Catherine's birthday on 09/01.

Aspargar · 01/01/2025 17:33

So 2025….shes an influencer.

Just like she was 10 years ago

Can't even be classed as another reinvention.

It actually looks like a snap from a music video 😀.

At least she didn’t go all ‘wicked games’ Chris Issac with Harry on the beach!

I don’t think I’d recover 😂

ARO soft launch and fizzle was weird - quite a lot of momentum initially but it all vanished over time. I really had expected it to develop in to a channel with regular videos and articles, building a following.

I think you might be on to something with the idea that this is a clean slate for the New Year. What is the name of the Instagram account where this vid appeared?

I have to say that I assumed the Harry pic was a fake. Was that published on the same Insta?

Aspargar · 01/01/2025 17:50

The handle is @ meghan

Yes, it’s new year new me vibes she’s giving. I don’t think we’ll hear about ARO ever again.

She won’t get the TM for it, the case won’t even be looked at until the end of the year. The patent office has huge backlogs.

I think this is the new launch for her lifestyle business

It's a bit reminiscent of Catherines video announcing the end of her cancer treatment.

No mention of Duchess ??

Aspargar · 01/01/2025 18:03

From People

It had long been rumoured that the handle @meghan belonged to the Duchess of Sussex, and her first post under that account featured her in a video, wearing all white and running on the beach, writing "2025" in the sand before running back off camera

But it looks like she added her title in her bio
