What will tomorrow bring ?

👍😁🙄

Watching!

Thankyou @PrettyFlyforaMaiTai - Looking forward to skipping through Neveraseverland towards the Artful Lemons once more.

This morning's Instagram reel is random shots supposedly around her garden. Not even well framed. I'm beginning to believe the amateurish quality is deliberate but I'm not sure what she is trying to achieve. Wobbly camera work makes me feel nauseous but I assume it isn't that!

Have posted once before, I enjoy the intelligent comments on these threads.

The video isn’t even properly focused on the subject of each frame. A teenager would do better.
It genuinely is very poor. Designed to appear authentic - passing the hose to the child - but actually just a badly composed video which you wouldn’t watch except it’s on Meghan’s feed.

😂😂

The image of a naive ingenue? A harmless young mother skipping through the garden with her daughter?
Curious.

Where are you seeing that video ?

I haven't got Instagram so only seen stills , but have no doubt the quality / style of the video is deliberate not incompetence. Since the Billy Eilish one and then the As ever launch I think it is an attempt to appear more authentic and also plays into the "you have to do it wrong to get it right" "we are not looking for perfection " thing as in the Love, Meghan trailer. Also to me it does come across as very Yummy Mummy . Now, she's the one with the brand / show to promote so up to her what she does - but this style does look though like a very sudden and deliberate switch. Certainly not playing to the UN spokesperson , NYT best selling author vibe. Although to be fair to her I think she kept off Sm until very recently so maybe not a switch - just how she's choosing to portray herself now.

I always think the ‘sweet nod to Diana’ outfits are always reaching but my God, she’s actually cosplaying her isn’t she 😳

Gosh, things move so fast I’d forgotten about Billy Eilish !! Perhaps that’s the point…

I have now watched it . Very disjointed and amateurish but maybe we are supposed to think of Meghan now as just an ordinary Mum doing her best ??
A child’s hand this time .

One thing for sure is she will NEVER compete with Diana's legs.

It all moves so fast - garden, mood board, As Ever fiasco, Invictus hugs and wheelchair, LA fires and all the stories, grief vultures, Polo, it's just endless.

@Mylovelygreendress on instagram. Under ‘Meghan’
apologies if using the wrong terminology- too old to know the right words

Odd that her dead dog features in her soaking up the springtime reels.

That is weird wearing exactly the same top- why would H want his wife to dress like his mum?

To be fair, Meghan did actually go to Northwestern!

I thought that. Is that guy? Or did I read somewhere she has another beagle now?

I was just going to say that

It is so twisted and disconcerting to see her dressing up as Diana. Why would you dress in iconic outfits of your dead MIL? It makes me think of Norman Bates, or of the scene in Rebecca where she wears the Shepherdess outfit. Makes me think she really is quite unhinged.

@MrsLeonFarrell I agree about wobbly camera work.

Again it's an old way of doing insta, but it is working, follower counts are going up. 2.1 million now (although Serena still doesn't follow asever)

I thought there was backlash about the rich using water in gardens?
