Mygge Tygge, from The Duchess of Sygge

Dygge by Tygge (Garden sub-brand) Cygge by Tygge (Tobacco sub-brand). Bygge by Tygge (plus size sub-brand). Eygge (breakfast good sub-brand). Fygge (orchard sub-brand). Gygge (playlist sub-brand). Jygge (dance academy sub-brand). Nygge (anti-racist action sub-brand...perhaps not). Pygge (butcher sub-brand). Rygge (chandler sub-brand). Wygge (hair studio sub-brand). So many possibilities.

"Limited me to things manufactured and grown in this area" is telling I think.

It will be interesting when people start tracking the provenance of what she sells and they will. The Cesta Collective thing isn't the marvellous exemplar of ethical production it was sold as and this enterprise is on a much bigger scale.

Positioning yourself as a "humanitarian" and "philanthropist" will always mean a great level of scrutiny of your business enterprises.

And she didn't realise that before she launched it? I recall reading on here someone spelling out all the stages that the name ARO had gone through and how it had been refused and sent back . The usual cock up.

Where does this leave all the friends who promoted the special numbered jars of aro jam?

Guinea pigs.

Problem is Martha and Oprah are from a different time.
There will be no one quite like them again, regardless of their abilities.
Social media has changed the landscape.

It just seems such an amateurish way to launch a new brand.

But I'm so breathy and genuine and authentic and lovely and you should buy my products. I've been hiding my light under a bushel all these years due to the Royal Family who were just so horrible. I was just brimming with ideas to sell over priced stuff that you can get in TJ/TK Maxx.

'And I haven't been able to share it with you in the same way for the past few years, but now I can'

This is such bollocks. They moved to California FIVE YEARS AGO!! She's been able to do whatever the hell she wanted since then. So saying that she hasn't been able to share her bla bla whatever for years is utter nonsense.

Lies? From Meghan? Get away with you 😂

She's done nothing but bloody "share". There's nowt we don't know about her!

I know there are people who say it is not on to criticise a woman for her looks but that's not me ( so you don't need to tell me blah blah Mumsnet blah blah misogyny etc) Surely a part of the whole lifestyle is that you look clean, pulled together, enviable and you evoke the lifestyle you are selling. This is not the case with this video. They don't have famous women advertising products from l 'Oreal to Dior looking like they have been dragged through a hedge backwards. Is this staged to be authentic and natural? Was it an off the cuff / lets go for it thing? I have never seen a woman with so many different faces. Yes I know Julia Roberts is filtered on this ad . Perhaps this is Meghan as her authentic self ? Personally the words that spring to mind are box, mad and frogs. No one is going to see this video as genuine.

So she’s covering lots of areas. Doesn’t mean she will do all but it goes much further than ARO.

So she’s selling custom invitations, printable (in megsys handwriting of course). Her calligraphy is repeatly mentioned.

A retail store and online selling her products and the products of other people

Selling flowers and plants (I’m guessing in the retail store).

Also selling books.

Talks about a magazine. So could be like what Martha and Oprah does. Workshops, podcast and education classes.

Says something about hospitality services but I’m not sure what that means exactly.

All the usual stuff like last time- jams, gardening stuff. Yoga mats etc

I misread that as Trademarkle…would have been a better name 🤣

It’s so odd that people who don’t like this woman start so many threads about her. It’s very very different to other celebrities. Extremely noticeable.

I wonder what the difference could be?

I think it’s the amount of blatant lies Meghan (and Harry) are caught telling.

They do seem way up there compared to other wannabe celebrities.

Thedom · 18/02/2025 12:27

It’s ridiculous, launch no. 2 without any products to showcase. You would the disaster of ARO would have given her an idea of the roadblocks to avoid 2nd time.

Serenster · 18/02/2025 12:29

I missed have issued the posts from those posters who were adamant last year that ARO would be a huge success and we were all just meangirls for pointing out the flaws in it. Where have those posters gone, I wonder?

Oh dear that is not a good photo .

RecoIIectionsMayVary · 18/02/2025 12:41

It's the beginning, why would you include the bit where you say you've started filming?

It is amateurish - we all know that SM is fake and curated, so we know that it has been left in deliberately. I do keep thinking that the posters that say she hasn't moved with the times are correct - this isn't 2025 SM.

Is Guy the beagle really dead? Meghan's third Instagram post told the story of the death of Guy the Beagle. Meghan said she wanted to share the news before her show aired on Netflix. Now, the post is baked by music and Harry's and Archie's voices. No dead dog reference. In the first few secondo of the newest post, about As Ever, a dog is jumping over the garden wall (top left, first few seconds). He looks suspiciously like Guy. Can M really be that duplicitous?

dorathexplorer · 18/02/2025 12:48

There's a couple of them I believe.

NormaMajors1992coat · 18/02/2025 12:48

Is that a real screenshot @dorathexplorer?
She looks so different, nose, cheeks, teeth, lips it's quite shocking

IdaGlossop · 18/02/2025 12:50

dorathexplorer · 18/02/2025 12:48

The other one is a Labrador, I think. The dog in the most recent post looks like a beagle.
