Let us all discuss the news and great doings issuing from Montecito

WTF Ghana? Just why?

I think part of the problem is that the mass produced tat sold alongside stranger things T-shirts will obviously be awful.
The only viable way to inject a bit of "class" is indeed to go down the Goop route but that spot is well and truly taken,
Nobody is going to believe she uses the products or sources them or indeed has any interest in them.
Hard to see how this will play out

The way the graphics are overlaid on that photo is terrible 😬

It really looks like she has done it herself.

@myrtleWilson i haven't had an email

Just one more way in which Meghan and Harry bring embarrassment to the UK...

Yes, we know they've detached themselves from the RF but some people didn't get the memo - and it's very much in H & M's interest to keep the demarcation lines blurred.

Eeeugghh...and their fans say 'Why do you care?'

I think the shadows are wrong in this one as well.

I dont get the image. It looks like Meghan is marching and poor L trying to keep up, it's more dragging a kid shopping than carefree capering.

And everything they do now is not for itself but for a potential future documentary.

Meghan is playing the part of (what she imagines to be) a global philanthropist at Invictus, in her collaboration(ha ha) with 'artisan businesses' and the runoured Ghana trip. And I don't think she even cares any more about the substance of it all - as long as the visuals are good and there's lots of content for a documentary.

You only have to watch Motherland or Amandaland to see a local version of Meghan in the monstrous Amanda!

the shadows are totally wrong.
Were they never in that field?
That does look how any annoyed mother would walk when their kid is really annoying them

@Stickystickysticky when did you subscribe? I’ve just tried it too and not had an email which I’d expect to come through automatically but it’s been about 30mins so I’ll give a bit more leeway (laid back Cali vibe innit?!)

Amanda does realise her limitations though at times. Such as wanting better for her children education wise. I have to say I like Amanda- no idea if I’d like Meghan in reality though or any of the rest of the royals.

I don't think they should involve the kids commercially, it's dubious whoever does it and after all they've said and done around their privacy/keeping them out of the spotlight thus far, hypocritical.

If I didn't know it was Meghan and Lili in that picture, I'd never in a million years have been able to identify them and am wondering if this is another "half in half out" try, yes, you know these are our children but they'll be seen from a considerable distance or blurred in the background. Just why? What does it achieve?

Up to a point - but the way she uses others - particularly Anne, whom she constantly belittles - and bigs herself up all the time is typically narcissistic.

I do realise it's a comedy and I do have a sense of humour - honestly! And I know the writers want to show the insecurities which have made Amanda what she is etc (terrible parenting by Joanna Lumley😂) but nevertheless, in her treatment of other people she's appalling.

Perhaps Meghan suffered deficiencies in her childhood due to shortcomings by both her parents, but boy, she is still a massive piece of work by any standards, and she's been given a global stage to preen herself on!

The Sidney Twins always warn against signing up to these types of celebrity/ instagram launched enterprises. They say it's a common, money making "scam" to gather lists of email addresses and then sell them off. Look in the T&C with what they say they can do with your details before signing up. I'm not saying this is happening with Meghan's site, I'm just saying be wary.

Why isn't Benita Litt helping Meghan get all her brand launched? Brand launching is bang on her area of expertise, and her website she says she has worked with Netflix. They are reputedly best friends (Meghan is godmother to her daughters, who were Meghan's bridesmaids). You'd think she'd be reaching out to Meghan (or vice versa) so that she can get it right this time.

This is what it says on her website (copy and pasted):

I HAVE LED THE DEVELOPMENT AND PROTECTION OF IMPACTFUL BRANDS FOR CLIENTS RANGING FROM FORTUNE 500 TO START UP COMPANIES.
WHETHER I AM ASSISTING IN THE LAUNCH OF A NEW BRAND OR REINVIGORATING AN ESTABLISHED ONE, THE RESULTS ARE ALWAYS STRATEGIC AND DISTINCTIVE.
PRIOR TO FOUNDING MY OWN AGENCY, I WORKED AS AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND ENTERTAINMENT ATTORNEY AT TWO TOP LAW FIRMS IN CALIFORNIA.
MY PASSION FOR BRAND DEVELOPMENT INSPIRED ME TO PURSUE A CAREER FOCUSED ON THE SHAPING AND STRATEGY SIDE OF BRANDS.

You can see her in this Good Housekeeping article sat with Doria at H&M's wedding:

I subscribed yesterday so would have thought I'd have an email by now, nothing in junk mail, no email at all.

Bugger , I seem to be trapped as I haven't had an email so I can't unsubscribe

I was just coming on to say beware data mining.....

The wafting around in a white dress puts me in mind of the Cadbury's Flake ad, c.1985. I think the Timotei girl also wafted in white, similar vintage.

You don't need an expensive PR or marketing consultant to tell you that it's a good idea to check that someone isn't already using the name you want to use. When I was planning to self publish on Amazon, it took all of two minutes to check that no-one else was using the pen name I had chosen. I have no marketing background or expertise.

Have you checked your Jam (Spam) inbox? Ba boom tish!😆

Yep absolutely nothing

It looks like Meghan is marching.

Reminds me of Basil Fawlty 😃

I'm assuming this isn't true!!!
Because it would be a disaster!

Sorry realised didn't tell you what it was about 😳

The Sussex's thinking of suing Donald trump!

Trapped!

I would be shocked and find it unbelievable, not least because they only sue in the UK,
