Meghan now flogging clothes for commission.

[AtIusvue]

Commissionable links- means when a potential customer clicks on the link, it's attributed to the affiliate, allowing the brand to record the source of the traffic. If someone buys a product using an affiliate link, the brand will pay the affiliate marketer commission on the sale

But she’s not an influencer?

This is really sad actually.

Exactly. Mind you I think being a non working royal grandchild of the monarch is different from being a formerly working royal child of the monarch. But that's only true here, abroad I don't think people care about the details.

Well, she’s got what she wanted. Tackier and cheaper version than what she had in mind, but pretty sure this was the plan from that first date. She’s gone from someone who could have had a meaningful impact on people’s lives, to just another identikit California influencer - except with some of her dirty laundry already aired and an at best divisive reputation. Major ick. She’s brought her husband and her children down to her level. But then I suppose people are linked, not ranked, eh Duchess?

For me, it cheapens the value of her title, it’s closing potentially extremely advantageous and meaningful doors for her children (kind of feel sorry for Charles who’ll never have a meaningful relationship with these grandchildren - heinous of their parents), and indicates how done Harry is with the RF. If there were even a glimmer of desire from him to ever go back, this wouldn’t be happening. This is their life. Scrabbling Monetcito wannabes, schilling for dimes and dollars…and for what. Tawdry, ugly.

Over it. Wish them both the best, but there’s really nothing interesting or attractive about either of them. (Unless they sink to lower lows, of course).

It's an explosion of activity isn't it? Is this the work of her new PR ?

I think you have covered all bases!

I see they appear to be the usual white and beige shapeless things she seems to favour above all else now.

We are one step away from QVC

You were clear. I wasn't. There is a big difference between what she is doing here (a selection of other people's goods on a shared e-shopping platform using the Duchess of Sussex):with, say, launching a distinctive, high-end fashion brand called Drapery by the Duchess of Sussex. Of course she is doing what she was asked not to do but the scale of it is so small I doubt the Royal family and advisers would think it worth feathers flying to put a stop to it.

People are always asking how do I look so stylish? How do my children look so on trend, where did I get this amazing thing, that amazing thing. Now I can just say in my shop- STORE! (Amanda, Motherland)

I wonder what Harry thinks of her using their children to help her flog tat. I don't think it's what he expected, even if many of us saw it coming a mile away.

Well alll the millions are his. He has huge amounts of inherited wealth. I’m guessing he thinks that’s his contribution, so now he can play video games /juggle and smoke weed all day.

If she was converting negative interest into commercial wealth all of this wouldn't be so frantic and there would be no need to spend thousands on spin or the need to bring the children into the brand. I wanted ARO to be successful as she seemed to be more of "just" Meghan. The need of the Duchess of Sussex just doesn't fit. She wants to spin both sides and they are clashing, the I'm just the same as everyone else but insisting on being recognised as royalty. I actually think she may have got better engagement if she dropped the title, even been framed in her Oprah interview of how badly she's been treated as they "took my name" but now I've claimed it back.

Using your children on social media when they're so small doesn't sit at all well with the Show up, do good with parents whose offspring have suffered through online bullying.

Lisa Rinna apparently does quite well on QVC.

She’s linking the cesta collection handbags on the site.

I rem a few months back, when she had the NYT article out promoting her investor links, and her power at selling out clothes that she wears:

“That’s one of the most powerful things that I’m able to do, and that’s simply wearing, like, an earring.”

Posters on here predicted that she would use ARO (now defunct) to sell a curated collection of this type of stuff, Inc the handbags, which she made sure to wear on her Colombia tour and get in the money shots of the bag.

So we werent correct that it would be the ARO (As ever) platform- that’s for her infomercials. But we were correct that her plan was to monetise/advertise the clothes that she wears and products she uses.

And I will say for all these posters who keep bleating about Meghan hate , this rule is not only for Meghan but for all titled U.K. royals!
if Harry open up a shop selling things using his title “ the Duke of Sussex “ there would be “uproar” .
if Andrew popped onto sm and sold things using his title “ the Duke of York “ there would be “uproar”
this rule is for all of them .

the rule is there for a reason , because they are partially paid for by taxpayers they are not allowed to do this, and yes I am aware that the Sussex’s have stepped down but they still cost the taxpayers millions of pounds.

To be fair to M, at least she’s trying to bring in some money. What on earth does Harry do with his time?

Hiccups again

Poor Harry. He can see pedal-bins talking to him when he is off his head on drugs but he wouldn't notice the Death Star if it was hovering over his utility room.

Flogging tat was always the plan. However, it was meant to go hand-in-hand with adoration for being a global philanthropist (not with your own money, of course) so no-one actually noticed you were just flogging tat.

True point.

I'm no fan of MM. But she is married to a fairly lazy clueless man who is quite out of his depth and as someone else said upthread seems to expect money just for existing.

MM is grasping, but at least she has some damned energy about her.

But what has she done over the past 5 years? Surely she should have used that time to build up this business?

And not to attribute any talent or work ethic to Harry, but 'Spare' is easily the biggest earner of their post royal life. And they bought that big house with his family money. The only reason she even got the NF show is because she married him. So he is still the 'draw' in this marriage.

He's the ONLY draw. The title and the marriage is her only USP.

But she must be frustrated he is not as keen on monetising as she seems to be.

But he trousers a lot more... We have all seen that C4 documentary surely?

I wander over here for the entertainment, which includes those who want to defend Meghan against all the 'haters'.

It is all a bit tawdry. That title and her choice to use it in these ways just looks ridiculous. I cannot imagine she is going to make a success of anything - given it is all such surface level stuff with her...

They could have achieved much more within the royal fold.

I think Harry buries his head with all this. He knows how embarrassing it is to have married an influencer.

I think meghan provides him with an easy life, cooks bacon for him every breakfast and allows him to laze about all day while she organises the running of the home/businesses. In return, he doesn’t say anything when she further lowers the bar in what she’s willing to do for money. Including using her title to tout for commission.

I’ve just noticed that my reply to you was much sharper than I intended! Apologies for that.
I am one who found most of the goings on to be amusing, I don’t care if Meghan wants to flog dildos or sex toys , fair play make money for yourself.
but selling royal titles has always been a no .
not only has she cheapened her self and title but it has cheapened the the U.K. monarchy and the U.K. .

How tacky. As usual, no class whatsoever.
