I don't think VB would do it anyway as didn't Harry accuse the Beckhams of leaking some story about them and DB was furious. Also I think even she would admit her launch depended on David subsidising her for ages. Which isn't helpful for your run of the mill wannabe business founder.

Yes, Harry did accuse the Beckhams of leaking. Plus, they're in with the RF now, which is a whole strata higher up and more rewarding..

VB and consort are out of Mr's league, I agree. How about CarolE Middleton?! Lots of overlaps - children's parties, table scaping, family-focussed, love of gardening, big pish house, humble beginnings, now Royal adjacent....

🙄🙄🙄

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t one of the companies MM constantly praised as a woman-owned company actually set up with money from said woman’s rich husband? Hygge Tygge Amanda-style!

But she’s like a narcissist juggernaut isn’t she; she doesn’t stop. What’s it all for?

Predictions for the new podcast:

  1. Dull and worthy
  2. If you have a drink every time you hear the word 'empowering' you will end up like Princess Margaret
  3. It will basically be a vehicle to promote As Ever
  4. The guests will all be people who started up organic yoga mat or ethically-sourced fruit sorbet businesses and will not include any hard-nosed, ruthless types or anyone remotely Republican.

Agree with all of these. A few more:

  1. Overusing the word 'lens'.
  1. Meghan talking more than the guest.
  1. 'Sharing' of cutesy little tidbits about 'my kids', all showing how intelligent and creative they are.
  1. Referring to 'my husband' and 'H' but never Harry.
  1. Using 'As a mom'.
  1. Indicating a rhetorical question by planting 'right?' with an upward inflection at the end.

Probably her wholesale suppliers for As Ever .... as ever - self serving

just sharing the much needed recipe, provided by Netflix so everyone can share the joy. I'd place this recipe at beginners level.

Equipment Needed
Silicone ice molds
Ingredients
Edible flowers
Filtered water
Method

  1. Pour filtered water into the silicone ice mold.
  2. Place edible flowers in each ice mold, 1–2 flowers per mold.
  3. Put the silicone ice mold in the freezer until frozen.
  4. Add ice cubes to the beverage of your choice and enjoy!

Tip: If you want to make sure the flower is in the middle of the ice cube, you can fill the ice mold halfway, add flowers and freeze. Once that is frozen, fill the rest of the mold with water and freeze again.

You're joking? Is that on their website, or did you just spoof that up yourself?

I just can't with the podcast 😴. Literally NOBODY who's setting up a business (other than a rich mom side-hustle type of 'business') is going to be listening to this podcast. She's not exactly a Dragon's Den candidate, let alone a dragon. This is going to be for projects like the bookstore she spoke at a few months ago. A loss-making vanity project for a bored rich woman spending her husband's money, but in a virtue-signaling way that's suggestive of a personality she wants but doesn't have

And the genre is like manna from heaven for someone like Meghan Markle. Unfettered opportunity to talk, talk, talk...

Should have been Confessions of a Female Flounder: Meghan Markle discusses how she struggles to produce a successful project, whilst fly fishing with Archie.

But only if she lets him or wants him to! 😬

Confessions of….(insert)

Now that is an interesting choice of photo. It's trying to suggest she is serious, no nonsense , no frivolities - where's the hat, the smile and the jewellery? To me it makes me think of the bully side of her. Is THIS authentic Meghan?

glitterturd · 13/03/2025 19:50

And why not Meghan Sussex or the Duchess of Sussex ? Is it just little old her now? No need for the titles?

CathyorClaire · 13/03/2025 20:22

Onlyonekenobe · 13/03/2025 14:28

I couldn't sit through all of that, and haven't seen WLM or the Drew interview, but I did just watch enough of this to see Meghan refer to Harry as "H" repeatedly. I'm actually shocked by that. Who goes on TV and refers to their husband by their initial and/or their private term of endearment? It was so awkward, too. The name is easier to say in a sentence than "H", repeatedly.

And, given how much she's said about his family over the years, I am willing to bet that referring to him as "H" is to put him on an even lesser footing than his relatives who she has always referred to as "his grandmother", "his father", "Kate", "your brother", "Fergie", never by their actual names or their titles (such as the one she introduces herself with). It's always been done to ram home that she's one of them (inside the royal family), and that they only matter as relatives of hers rather than as individuals in their own right.

And now she wants to be known as Meghan Sussex!

Seeing her now, after this many years of marriage and on national TV, referring to her husband as "H" is very, very creepy. It's very diminishing. I big my husband up in public, I don't reduce him to the role that he plays in my life with nary a name. It really is all about her. Diana said she thought there were three people in her marriage. I wonder if Harry feels there's only one person in his marriage!

I'd quite like to see a 'Harold' slip out but given that's never going to happen I suppose the best we can say is that 'H' is one up on 'This One'.

AtIusvue · 13/03/2025 20:28

Within the space of a week she’s gone from trad-wife, barefoot duchess in the kitchen…..to Girl boss, duchess dictator in heels.

Pick a bloody lane woman!

If you mean I criticise the whole venal lot individually and as a herd you're right.

What's your point?

I really hate the angle of 'female founder'. There will be a lot of talk about being away from DC on 'work' trips, recording videos for whoever. The unmentioned factor will be being extremely rich already or having a rich husband so you can pay for childcare.
