As Ever #3 As If

Another thread to discuss the rebranding of ARO and the merchandising of With Love, Meghan

Imagine chosing your university because you liked their jumper. 😄

I'd enjoy a walk round Highgrove with the King because it's his vision developed over decades

So would I. And it would be beyond funny if he filmed and released it this year.

It's because she doesn't have a long term goal except to be paid to do nothing

In fairness this is my goal 😂

But just what other type of home could they be living in? What would be fitting for them? And where?

Something smaller, in a less expensive area. And maybe on an estate that could generate an income for them - a vineyard or something.

There must be some parts of California that are nice but not super expensive A-List territory.

That IG video is an incoherent mess. Four seconds of this, five seconds of that, photos would have been better.

Ah yes, and the sinking to the floor sobbing that Harry reported in Spare.

Don't think it went to court @Puzzledandpissedoff ??!!! But definitely remember seeing it somewhere!
Of course Harry telling lies is old hat now to be fair! 🤣

Dear lord, he was constantly finding her on the floor weeping, wasn't he? This was clearly not a person cut out for a life of public service.

My memory is a tad rusty at times! But who else had a reputation for throwing herself onto furniture and sobbing???

the case was the mail with the offering to pay and Harry tried to dismiss but the judge refused as the mail had a winnable case with an honest opinion defence. I believe the conversation about paying for security was with one of the grey suits at one of the summits about them leaving. Realistically a throwaway comment as he had no idea of the rules or the potential cost.

She's now being accused of ripping off Pamela Anderson's cooking and entertaining show.

Even the names are very similar - Cooking with Love vs. With Love, Meghan:

Yes. The sainted Diana.

Barratts executive home? :) She wants to ‘win’ & that’s not winning.

just as love Meghan and as ever are disjointed her instagram also falls into the same trap. I understand the filming in the rental for privacy and security but she's now back to the south park meme. Does she want privacy or not as she's now filming at home. There is going to be simultaneous instagram feeds of her own home whilst swanning around somebody else's pretending that her friends have popped to her home for a posh cake. It would have been so much more authentic to film in her home and I can understand why this would be intrusive but she's now doing it anyway. Pick a lane.

🤣🤣🤮

And said person also threatened to kill herself when pregnant.

Have you ever lay on the floor sobbing?

I've cried in bed, on the sofa, in the bath, but never on the floor.

Do they not have enough chairs?

@jeffgoldblum and @MissFenellaPrism Here's how rusty my memory is. I immediately thought of Violet Elizabeth Bott

Omg the engagement photocall. I couldn't understand why they were posing on the other side of a pond. M looked so inappropriate from the Deal or No Deal pose to the white coat and no tights in November. At the time I gave her the benefit of the doubt, thinking she'd learn how to dress for the job, like her mother in law. How wrong I was.

I think initially they will have felt that letting the plebs see their home was beneath them, as well as Harry's security paranoia. But I think perhaps Meghan has realised that by letting people see snippets of their real home/garden (if it even is) she is then able to build a following on Instagram. I think it had probably dawned on she can't be completely private and rely on people to be interested. No one is interested in her tea party ideas, absolutely no one. Some people are interested enough in her, as a figure of notoriety, to watch - even if only something to laugh and gossip. But a great number more could be persuaded to watch/follow her if they are getting a bit of a gander at their genuine home. So its a case of needs must, if she can't or won't live without public attention.. she's going to have to lower their boundaries on privacy. Personally I don't think she's bothered about privacy, that's all Harry, I think she does enjoy the power, control and mystique that she feels comes from withholding any images/details on their life.
I respect people who care about their children's privacy but there is something off about how the kids faces have never been seen, do they never take them anywhere?! The other royal children are seen, A listers children are seen. I think its a weilding of power on her part, most likely aimed towards their estranged families. And also probably currency/leverage for the future in case everything continues to flop and she has to fall back on some kind of reality TV show about their life, as a last resort.

I'm late to the Meghan and Pamela, I am shocked at the titles, for them both to include the word love and meghans trailer is so much like Pamela. In fairness it's cooking shows with a tried and tested formula there are going to be many similarities but why didn't Meghan go with As ever to at least have some degrees of separation.

@BasiliskStare 🤣🤣

She graduated from Northwestern though...

Yes, purple is their colour.

All their teams wear purple/ white and all their merchandise is purple/ white.

The real question is why was Di wearing that sweatshirt.

Apparently it’s a vintage one. How anyone can tell I have no idea. Whilst she has every right to wear one she’ll have been aware of that iconic shot of Diana & she has form.

😂😂
