Thank you @cheezncrackers 😊

Were Ever Photography told to take the ‘established before MM’ down by her lawyers do we think? It was a very clever comment so wondering why they felt the need to remove it?

Yes, witty and harmless and the response she wrote to that great wall of text from a Meghan stan was very polite.

Thank you .
Hilary Rose , brilliant as always.

Blimey! That article.
Ouch!!

Hilary Rose doesn’t hold back there does she?! She wrote what everyone is thinking, and that is the problem.

The recent (as in last couple of days) articles in so many publications both sides of the Pond are biting. Perhaps it will be a wake up call. OK, and I'm Angelina Jolie, but it really, really should be.

This is my fav section of the Times article:

‘Meg tells us that she always loved cooking and crafting but alludes darkly to a time when she wasn’t allowed to talk about it because she was tied to a radiator or something, and possibly also because when it came to being a royal, Queen Elizabeth II took the view that crafting wasn’t quite up there with opening a hospice. Poor Meg. Were you silent or silenced?’

Poor woman! A live of servitude and bondage!
Thank goodness she's free. I expect people are dancing in the streets of South Africa. Again.

Well I find myself taking an unusual position here!!
I must stand up for Meghan now , this is all deserved criticism but it does rather feel now with this third ? Article that Meghan is being hung out to dry all on her own !

Where's the criticism of Harry? , equally deserved, if not more so in my opinion!

Why is he not getting articles daily and snarky comments in the media?

As a husband and wife who move together like " salt and pepper " surely he should be part of this too!

We aren’t even into March yet!

2025 is just a non stop disasters. Seems like a lifetime ago she was carefree, running along a beach, writing in the sand (practising first)

As Ever is a complete mess.
Nachos wife seemingly also follows Asevernyc on top of Paltrow. So it must be an in the know Lux brand. This is so embarrassing for her.

It’s not just the nasty British press picking up on this, the entertainment bible, Hollywood reporter, has an article about it.

She had to get ahead of the rumours didn’t she? All it was until she announced in her IG video, was rumours on Reddit. She didn’t have to confirm anything until she was ready. Just like the DM had found out about ARO and she had to get ahead before they published. But both times she hasn’t been ready to launch! She could have just ignored it! But no, she sets herself up for utter humiliation.

By confirming it and launching the business without due diligence, she’s got herself into yet another mess.

As ever nyc can TM the name. They just go about it in a different manner.

Can you imagine having to rebrand the rebrand of the rebrand ….and there’s still no products.
Doria needs to have a word with her.

Last week we were told that Meg’s usual sign-off is “With love, Meghan”. If only they’d let her see it, perhaps that’s what she would have written on the Palace’s report into her alleged bullying before sending it back to them. This week it’s “As Ever”. Next week “Whatever”. But rest easy, people. The fruit preserves are coming. Of course they are.

What does this part mean about the BP bullying report? I dont get the joke/nuance/point?

I think that's a fair point @jeffgoldblum . It's probably happening because ARO/Whatevs are seen as her "thing" , she's the public face of them and it's the aspect that's the most high profile at the moment. However, it shouldn't be entirely focused on her when there is so much of everything they've done that is down to him too. He can't be ignorant of the commercial side (and if he is that is no defence) and I genuinely hope he's supporting her, because while I hold what any of us say on here damages her not at all, these articles will.

If we have learnt nothing else is that Harry always always hides behind someone else. His father, his brother, his step mother, maybe now he has no one else he is hiding behind Meghan?
Nothing is ever his fault, he is the eternal victim.

Yes @Uricon2 , while these articles focus on her "influencer " cock ups , the ball started rolling with the disaster tourists comments and that was Harry too! , the behaviour at invictus that was Harry too! .

Criticism where it's due but he's gotten off very lightly here and as a woman who normally supports other women ( within reason) it's starting to feel a little one sided!

Everything she's done he was apart of ( even in the background) he needs to have his ass handed to him too!

I know we here like to share the criticism around both of them but the media are being a little one side here I think !

Maybe it's a Hollywood, American thing?
Maybe we need an American poster to give their perspective?

I would say it's because these are her projects, not his.
She's the one front and centre ( obviously after she and he said a little something to remind everyone who she's married to) so she deserves the flak

Possibly because it's all in her name and it's her idea, Jeff? I do agree with you, though. I think Harry is very culpable, but she's the lead in these activities..

Yes @MissFenellaPrism , don't get me wrong she deserves this criticism!
But Harry hasn't even been held to account for African parks!
And yes we all know men get away with more stuff than women but it feels Harry is still being protected!

Oh yes, I absolutely agree. I think he doesn't get half the criticism she gets, which is unfair.

100%!

Maybe he isn't that stupid after all. Putting it all in her name cushions him from criticism.

I sadly don't think he's that clever!
This was Meghan idea ! House , business, god knows what else ? All in her name ( probably told Harry it would be better as she's an American citizen) , only this has now backfired!

Perhaps Harry is staying quietly out of the way? Perhaps he's listening to advice and keeping his head down?

Meh, I think….at times….. Harry has a modicum of self awareness. At all times, Meghan doesn’t.

Plus we haven’t heard repeated bullying stories about Harry, just that he’s a a bit of a wet lettuce and enablers her.

So he gets off with the worst of it.
