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. '

What would happen to the other business that's called As Ever if Meghan gets the trademark? Would they have to change their name?

This would be an interesting discussion, if we were allowed to actually have it!

If you don't think any of this matters why have you posted so many times on this thread?

You misunderstand. I don't think it matters what jam she makes but I do think it matters how she is criticised so much & I do find the way she triggers some quite fascinating & intriguing as to what motivates that.

This is an open forum so I can post what I like & you can ignore me...

Ok will do!

wooliegloves · 18/02/2025 18:13

Nobody owes you an explanation for why they are discussing the subject of the thread, your tedious attempts at derailing aside.

As I said you can ignore me, why is it derailing to be interested though & what exactly am I derailing?

wooliegloves · 18/02/2025 18:13

Ok will do!

@wooliegloves as you posted a quote from my one post, re logo being very similar to something else and it not really mattering, I was simply responding to posts upthread about the logo.
It does matter to meghan I suppose. If she was such a great businesswoman she should be more careful with attention to detail.

these threads are insane & I think a little embarrassing for MNs

You think these threads are insane and embarrassing?? You've clearly not been on MN for long!! 😂😂

I think I understand you quite well.

As I said, nobody owes you an explanation for sticking to the topic of the thread. Other threads are available for those who think themselves too good for this one.

Your posts on this thread aren't superior or clever. They're just tedious and dull.

wooliegloves · 18/02/2025 18:15

@NotaRealHousewife of course everything doesn't have to be personal & emotional & there are many topics and threads that aren't.. My post was simply saying that the threads that are more emotional etc tend to be about people close to the OP as opposed to strangers.

DuchessDissasster · 18/02/2025 18:15

Suggestion - create a thread " why people are obsessed with Meghan " as opposed to complaining on one that is talking about the new "as ever" ?

We've lost sight of what an embarrassing post is.

@GlitchStitch , this is interesting, I'm no expert but as far as I can tell , no they won't they either probably already have the patent or because they have already been using it that sets a precedent, also I think there domain is ... asevernyc.

wooliegloves · 18/02/2025 18:16

@Pianoaholic I agree that it's valid to say there may have been some oversight & failure to do proper checking. I was just asking why the assumption was it was stolen?

They're publicising their stuff all the time, in a very cheesy way

Of course but imo they aren't doing things any different to plenty of others in the public eye. I agree they are pretty cheesy!

It will attract comment.

Comment is fine & expected and as I said I would agree with some of the criticisms but I don't see threads about other famous people in quite the same way. It just seems relentless and some seem very invested.

You do know we aren't in their back garden with binoculars don't you?

Plenty would be if they could though! 😆

It is on the back of years of all the hate they've chucked at the rf, it jars! (using the word 'hate' loosely it seems to equal criticism on these threads).

They have invaded other people's privacy massively, yet complained about their own privacy being invaded.

Other celebs haven't played the victim card quite as nauseatingly as Harry has while in the next breath acting like a tabloid reporter himself. They are a mass of contradictions and as such attract sniggering, sorry.

DuchessDissasster · 18/02/2025 18:17

There is a list of products @IcedPurple that can allegedly be sold with some quite specific descriptions. No jam will be made by Meghan it would appear.

Bit hard on veteran broadcaster Neil Sean - every time he uses his catchphrase 'As ever', he'll be promoting the Meg.

Perhaps The Meg pinched 'As Ever' from Neil Sean.

So the image Meghan is promoting for ‘As ever’ ……is of a woman in the kitchen, happy in her role as trad wife, in order to sell you products.

Yet she tells us as a feminist, she called out Proctor and Gamble for selling their products…..using the image of a woman in the kitchen.

She can’t even see the insanity of her actions.

I think her lack of commitment to a brand and follow through with any of her ideas is rather sad but I don’t think being a feminist is dependent on enjoying cooking and decorating.

Her letter ( which was a class assignment) was a great assignment to point out the sexism in advertising especially 30 years ago.

I think the issue is she has no identity beyond Harry’s wife. That’s a much bigger issue in terms of women’s voices.

Is there a guide you can share that says what & when we are allowed to post? it's a little tedious to try and thread police the thread.
Anyone can post on these threads, if you don't like it maybe try a forum that isn't public?

@Pianoaholic I agree that it's valid to say there may have been some oversight & failure to do proper checking. I was just asking why the assumption was it was stolen?

I think it's probably because she doesn't really have any particularly original ideas?

jeffgoldblum · 18/02/2025 18:21

Just one more post @wooliegloves , then I will return to following your advice!

On mn particularly the rf forum yes , it is against guidelines to deliberately derail a thread , and it also against guidelines to post goady posts.

wooliegloves · 18/02/2025 18:21

I think a tree & bird logo is quite generic and I don't see the point in stealing in logo so my assumption would be an oversight @Pianoaholic

Yes best wishes to a wonderful couple who made a career out of throwing hate at his entire fanily and are now making a fortune in jam. They are thriving and glowing from the millions theyve made acting like a pair of tabloid reporters. Tis a truly beautiful thing. Lets hope they keep shining their lights through their selectively authentic lenses.

I will not be going back and forth with people that are so bent in believing that these two "have thrown hate to their entire family"
Were you there with them?
Are you part of the family?
Are you aware of their family dynamics?
The answers to all of these questions is no.
Meghan has moved on with her life, she has moved on from the UK and the Royal Family. She is a happy and accomplished woman and that shows.
If you don't like move on. You are NOT her target market/audience.

And the rest @IcedPurple

You can get all that crap at Tesco 🤷🏻‍♀️
It’s just a grocery list.

And they get hundreds of replies from people who are not anything to do with either the OP or the people about whom the OP is complaining - some extremely emotional replies and some less so, some offering practical, logical support, others sharing their own tales and offering a virtual shoulder to cry on. By your logic, since nobody on MN knows either the OP or the people the OP has an issue with, and as the OP's problem doesn't directly effect them, then nobody should be replying to the OP or feeling any emotion on her behalf.

Ok.
I still stand by my statement that she doesn't have original ideas though.
