Looks like she’s back on Instagram

In her own words

She made focaccia, but the glimpse of it in the trailer looked barely cooked. Way too pale, but that may just be the lighting, so I'll reserve full judgement until we see it properly

I thought so too , but then I thought perhaps she’s gluten free? Which explains the flat looking bread.
Or maybe it’s Focaccia di Recco , which is stuffed with cheese but an absolute nightmare to make and need lots of stretching and paper thin dough , just like strudel , no one makes it home.

For a normal focaccia I swear by Bake Ahead it takes just hours to proof and always so thick , soft and pillowy from the inside and crunchy on top. so good!

Not sure I agree with that . There are those who want to be actors and those who only want to be famous .
I have an actress in my extended family ( currently on TV) who spent years in mainly small city theatres and supplementing her meagre pay with bar/ waitressing work .
She was offered “ sexy” work but turned it down because she wanted to act not simply be famous . After several years she started getting big parts on TV but it was a slog.
On the other hand one of her college friends longed to be famous and only wanted TV and films .

I’ve read on the DM

That’s she’s expected to start selling her products imminently.

Could it be?

• honey pot and drizzler makes repeated appearances in the trailer, so I think that’s one product
• Dried edible flowers, Jars of honey and jam
• blue and white China
• scalloped napkins and table runners
• cake stand
• flower vase
• garden tools
• trug
• charcuterie boards
• olive oil bottles

And which sweat shop workers will be mass producing this stuff on the cheap so MM can make a profit? I'm pretty sure she won't be making this herself.

She claimed she was the nerdy, brainy girl, not the pretty and popular one. I think her mind is just full of 1990s movie tropes that she tries to form her history around. She's like the main character in "She's All That", the spiky, feminist, outspoken nerd, who one day takes off her glasses, puts on some lippy, and, Lo! She's so beautiful too, let's make her the prom queen!

Sounds like stuff you can buy in any number of high street or online outlets, probably for a fraction of the price the Duchess is charging.

Will they come complete with an engraved emblem of the Dook & Dookess for added value?

That bee keeper guy looks like a young Dr Okun and I want a little figurine of him.

Yes, she sounds like she lives in a John Hughes film.

And surely claiming that women have to be either 'smart' or 'beautiful', but not both, is a very unfeminist idea?

It is blatantly obvious that her supply chains can and will be checked by the public. And that any of them found wanting will become known, probably very rapidly. So I would expect them to have been checked rigorously and in detail for each product before it is included in the range.

Thank you.

I won't deny it took a very long time (& 2 failed starters), a LOT of practice and very bad loaves, to get to something that I'm happy with.

I've always found baking to be a very happy, comforting and sometimes humbling experience ❤️

Thanks ❤️, that looks amazing

Like that freakish attention to detail displayed in her handbag partnership? This stuff will already have been sourced if it's going to be launched in January.

She was talking about schoolgirls! Which makes it worse. When, I imagine, the vast majority of school age children are a bit of this, a bit of that, don't fit neatly into a box and don't play out their school days like Mean Girls. Both then and now - my kids certainly don't and neither did my friends and I.

I wonder if the RF will watch?

The RF group chat must be aflame right now.

She did not have a very successful career before marrying Harry. The majority of people have never heard of her

@pelargoniums 🤣

I doubt they care

They might not care but if they really are human rather than giant lizards, they’d be frightfully dull not to be having a comedy field day on WhatsApp. They won’t have “what day is bin day, I’m lost after Christmas and new year” like the rest of us. Camilla’ll be at the gin and cigarettes, typing a mile a minute. Mike right in there with the memes.

Absolutely. Given that Harry hasn’t bothered to resign from Africa Parks as well, I do t think they are genuinely interested in sustainability or fair trade

The Cesta Collective debacle makes me very dubious this will happen. It really should, though.

Success in Hollywood terms is relative. Being a household name is a rarefied level. And when there are thousands trying to make it in that world, being cast in a long running tv drama is absolutely success.

I can't imagine there being much initial stock, limited edition to give the illusion of instantly selling out and as the inspiration for ARO was supposedly flamingo estate it will not be in the majority price range. This pricing would allow for ethical sourcing but would also put her in direct competition with her neighbouring company who already attract the famous of LA

I know you have your tongue in your cheek but I really doubt they’ll be giving her airtime. She and Harry have been frozen out by the whole family and knowing how she deliberately took aim at Catherine I doubt anyone would want to salt that wound. William and Catherine might discuss it privately but even then I think it’s a subject that won’t be broached. They won’t have the luxury of being able to see the ridiculous in all this.
