Meghan has renamed her luxury lifestyle brand 'As Ever'.

'As Ever essentially means as it's always been, and if you've followed me since 2014 with The Tig, you know I've always loved cooking and crafting and gardening — this is what I do,' she said. '

In response to people saying where's the philanthropy, she has bills to pay, so this kind of show is where she gets her money now. I'm sure it doesn't mean she's given up on any humanitarian or philosophical work.

It is fine to sell jam and nick nacks. It's the cheesy, breathless, gushy way it's done. All so ott and fake. It's like that awful Billie Eilish merch video all over .

Me neither, and I know lots of people who were the same but apparently that makes us racist for not noticing.

Really? how does that work?
I was actually kicked off a discussion board after i commented that I hadn't reaised she wasn't white.
I never understood why so if you know, could you tell me why it's racist to say that? ( obviously I don't think it is or wouldn't have said that but was hoping you had an insight!)

Thank fuck we’ve had an ARO update, I can sleep at night now 😂

Why does it feel like everything she does is a dog at the RF? It’s her MO. She talks about “As Ever means how it’s always been” (thanks for that Meghan) and says she’s still the same person as she was in her 2014 Tig days. I wonder if the penny has finally dropped that people only make an emotional investment in her and Harold’s life if there Royal dogs and gossip to be had

What does ARO mean? Googled it and found nothing that makes sense.

Why is she so incapable of sticking to one idea, putting hard work and effort into it and seeing it through to the end? Why does she rush everything and put out such subpar content? I genuinely thought the As Ever website was a hoax as it was so rushed and such poor quality. It’s like she has concentration issues or ADHD. Her mind seems to be here, there and everywhere.

I have often wondered this myself. She has the attention span of a gnat on crack.

Also, does the United States really need a cut-rate Martha Stewart, who was doing all of this 40+ years ago and who has numerous emulators already.

I’d like to know the people who say it’s all just racism - is it ALWAYS racism to criticise a POC no matter how ridiculous, badly behaved and demonstrably awful they are?

Isnt that a tad condescending?

my thoughts exactly.
It's racist and insulting

Puzzledandpissedoff · 18/02/2025 15:37

Atlusvue · 18/02/2025 15:25

From what I can see from the TM office, it’s pending.

She also doesn’t own the @ asever handle for insta.

So again….well thought out.

Many thanks for the clarification, Atlusvue, but it still begs the question of what she meant by "securing the name in 2022" if it's not even officially hers yet Confused

@Butteredtoast55 , early on in the threads I was called a liar for this remark!! Countless times ( other names were used also!)

HeyIAmGlidingHere · 18/02/2025 15:39

Maybe. I don't know much about the lives of the rich and famous tbf. I would imagine it's not so easy as just going about your lives though if you are richer/more famous than them - true A listers pay for that security/privacy, surely? No idea how much but Elton John or George Clooneys, say, must have security detail on their kiddies?

Is she really getting money from it though? Everything she does bombs so where are the big bucks coming from? Besides, Harry is a multi millionaire.

Who knows?

I've only known of one famous person who has made his 'security' into a matter for public discussion, and that's Harry. Other celebrities are wise enough to be highly discreet about such matters.

As for going about their lives, A listers manage to get married, have babies, go on holiday without anyone knowing. Has anyone seen a photo of Margot Robbie's baby for example? And she lives in LA without any fuss.

I honestly don't know either but I've seen various threads and boards where people have been flamed for their lack of awareness and positioning anyone who would be marrying into the royal family as not being of colour. Because it's viewing things through a white lens or some such 'you only don't like Meghan because she is black' nonsense.
I think it is seen as faux naivety whereas I'm just not very observant!

Many, many famous people are never "papped".
H&M were never papped in the UK.

Yes, they had to use photos from the Harry Potter premiere for their 'documentary'.

I think they're stuck in the Diana era, when paps really were a menace. But nowadays the laws are much stricter, at least in England, and with camera phones and social media there's no real money to be made in random photos of celebrities walking down the street. And it's not like these two are the most famous or popular people in California by any stretch of the imagination.

jeffgoldblum · 18/02/2025 15:51

Ok I'm going to try to make a short explanation from my point of view , ive been on here for years and until recently the sure fast way to shut down any criticism of Meghan ( and Harry bizarrely!) was to shout racism at any poster who said anything negative at all ( even when that poster was in fact a poc themselves) this worked well.
The other one is to call anyone not favourable a " hater" . That's all I can safely say.

That was actually funny, although I thought it was a foolish thing to lie about, especially with Harry's court case about security.

Well, they're not always flipped quite like that 🤔

The video REALLY reminds me of Amanda filming in her car in Amandaland. If you haven’t watched it, you must. So funny!

@Butteredtoast55 and @Mightymoog .

The racism accusations were absolutely relentless. No other argument, no recognition that is was their behaviour that was the issue. Look at how the preening pair perform now, it is absolutely understandable to see how they would have pushed for their own way in the Royal Family.

They received the same scrutiny and negativity as everyone else in the rf. Look at poor Catherine and the 'where is she?' Hysteria. The rest of them have just dealt with it all with a bit of dignity.

jeffgoldblum · 18/02/2025 16:05

Well yes @Janiie but apparently not according to some!
