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. '

Did she work as a U.N. ambassador prior to meeting Harry? Also yes

Wrong. She did a couple of speeches for the UN Women's advocacy group. She wanted an ambassadorship like Emma Watson's, but was knocked back because she was a nobody. She severed her ties with the UN.
Subsequently, she had a strop on the royal tour in the Fiji market - where she was supposed to be spending time with hard working and talented local craftswomen - because there were UN Women's Group representatives present. She left abruptly and after only a few minutes. Journalists observed her assistant in tears. She did grab her loot bag on the way out, though, some things never change, or are As Ever.

Edited for SPAG.

I have a lot of sympathy for Meghan and Harry but this latest bollocks is really starting to hack me off. I am sure at one point they said they left so they could concentrate on highlighting issues that were important to them and I admired that. She has a platform she could use to at least try to make a difference instead of cooking cakes in fancy dresses. It's just a bit dreary.

They accused all of us of being racist after spending our money on a wedding they then mockingly slagged off and said they didn’t even want. Why would you have any sympathy?

@Mylovelygreendress , best practice is to skim and move on 😀

It appears you follow the same loose attachment to actual facts as she and Harry do.

She was not a UN Ambassador.

She was a UN Women’s Advocate for Women’s Political Participation and Leadership.

Very different.

Ok perfect , she worked with the U.N. which is something that neither you and I have achieved, so quit the semantics.

Let's not get derailed again today!

EasternStandard · 19/02/2025 11:37

That woman is literally shining from the inside out

Is she? @LipglossAlly why do you feel so positively about her? Not saying anything negative about that just wondering why there's such a strong connection for you

Oops here the rest of the insta

You’re very invested. Any reason why? The gushing adoration seems a bit teeny bop. Do you have posters of her on your wall?

strange, isn't it.
I thought yesterday they were taking the mick but it appears not!

jeffgoldblum · 19/02/2025 11:39

@Puzzledandpissedoff , because there is already an as ever clothing line and they were rather upset ! So they have been subtly posting "as ever original " .

They did not accuse all of you of being racist.
They accused elements of the British media , the RF of having racist concerns about an unborn child and people who work in the orbit of the RF. They did not accuse you or the general public of being racist( when asked during the Oprah interview , Harry clearly stated that he doesn't think that the British public is racist). Again, I am not sure where this nonsense is coming from.

SnoozingFox · 19/02/2025 11:41

I think I've said it before on this sort of thread but it really takes 2 seconds to google to see whether other people are using your proposed brand. This is why many people come up with brands which are their names or two names mashed together, or nonsense words which mean nothing - Goop, Ikea, Adidas, Google, Tesco, Asda. If you choose two short commonly used words like As Ever, Over It, Tell Me, Us Four... - they are all going to have been chosen by someone else.

It's just all very amateur, isn't it? I mean, I'm a sole trader and have my own website - first thing I did when deciding on my "brand" was to check it made sense, explained what I did, and wasn't taken already.

So has she dropped the Mallorcan inspired logo already?

Edited to say I forgot there is a delay on pictures. I've screenshot the twitter page for as ever

Plus I'm surprised she is going with asevermeg
Sounds like a waitress

Probably advised to do so now the mayor publicly stated they are thinking of suing!

It's not semantics.
It's facts.

And if that's where her heart lay why was it such a brief stint in the role?

DuchessDissasster · 19/02/2025 11:34

Now the original as ever have posted this on their insta. More bad publicity insinuating Meghan is a poacher.

As ever .... one cock up after another!🙄

She didn’t “achieve” it based on her work and experience though, but of her celebrity as an actress and because she paid her manager and PR advisers a lot of money to find her such roles and opportunities to advance “brand Meghan”. Imagine what any of us could do if we had similar resources at our beck and call.

And, interestingly, despite her freedom to do whatever she wants in the last 5 years, she’s had no involvement with the UN at all. Which suggests it was not a relationship that one, or both parties, valued.

Is this real though? The problem is that there are so many fan sites and I suspect non fan sites that purport to be her. It's hard to tell the real from the fake. Yet again a bit of a shitshow.

Actually is this a spoof? I think it might be.

Back to As Ever, and this is the latest photo the new brand has posted. I am very amused by the totally blank label on the open pot of jam. Tell me this was another meticulously planned roll-out….!

(Also, pouring honey straight from the jar doesn't exactly shout elevated. More basic - not even mid!)

I thought she would have had one of those honey drizzle things, not just pour it out of the jar.

jeffgoldblum · 19/02/2025 11:50

@Serenster , I'm trying to word this carefully, you know when you contact customer service? , and they don't appear to understand your particular problem? , how they repeat the same lines over and over again? Then you realise they are just reading out the list of possible problems and answers, so can't really help you!
I think we have all experienced this from almost all helplines haven't we.

RecoIIectionsMayVary · 19/02/2025 11:52

Cross posted. But yes I think you are correct, but this is what comes up on X, fake accounts.

But why haven't they got a X page? Even if they never posted but to show the real account

What I find weird is having threads after threads bashing a women that left this island what 5 - 6 years ago? There is nothing wrong with taking the piss at a celebrity that you don't like. However, what has been happening on this website when it comes to this woman is weird. When even Justine Roberts( Founder and CEO of Mumsnet )come out and defines these threads as unhinged you know there is clearly an issue.

What I find weird is the unhinged obsession over this couple and this woman in particular.

I'm m not even sure that this can only be justified by racism, there surely most be something else at play in here behind this level of obsessive hatred and vitriol levelled at this woman( mind you they won't direct this level of disdain towards actual members of the their precious RF accused of heinous crimes).

Are you saying such people work off a script they won't/can't deviate from because they don't actually know what they're talking about? Never!!!
