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.

From Vice President of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust and Patron of the National Theatre to flogging clothes for commission on Instagram, you couldn’t make it up.

Edited

Yes, you could say there's nothing 'wrong' with selling stuff on the internet, and, use of titles aside, I'd agree. It's a bit tacky but she's not doing anyone any harm.

But when you compare it to the grandiose ambitions they told the whole world about 5 years ago, it's quite a come down. And I really do think Harry will be deeply embarrassed by it all. The wife of a Prince of the Realm getting a cut from the sale of clothes online is not the world he grew up in. But it is the world he now lives in.

In defence of Sarah Ferguson ( a phrase i didnt think I’d use!)
she only sold merchandise while at the beginning of her divorce, as she had hardly any money and large debts .
however since she’s been rescued by her ex and shacked up with him , she’s only wrote books, now has Meghan been criticised for her book? No neither was Harry ( however he was criticised for the content)
so I fail to see the equivalence here.

Sarah Ferguson got a crappy divorce settlement and needed to hustle to support herself. She clearly had a habit of massive overspending so there was a lot of debt to service and some dodgy dealings in the pursuit of doing that.

She's not an example for anyone else to emulate. Quite the reverse!

Why is it any different to Zara Tindall's fashion range she models for Musto? Lots of padded jackets, some with the colour 'Windsor wine'

No idea why Meghan gets slated for this. But not Zara.

As per my earlier post they could have gone down the Zara route, they chose not to, wanting the titles instead. Zara is not titled, neither are her children, she is also an Olympic medalist, she is far more accomplished than Meghan. If Zara was Princess Zara she wouldn’t be brand ambassador for Rolex.

Spot on @IcedPurple. There is nothing wrong with it but indeed that is the bit that stands out. You have summed it up.

Yes, I refer to the example upthread about Princess Madeleine of Sweden launching a skincare line under the name 'Madeleine Bernadotte'. Her brother also runs a design studio as 'Carl Philip Bernadotte'. Obviously everyone knows he's a prince and his royal connections will have massively helped him. But neither he nor Madeleine are exploiting their royal titles for commercial gain.

I think people know perfectly well what the difference is but are pretending not to for the sake of drumming up a stupid circular argument.

She's done more than that. She's linked up with some wellness thing and offering a free month if someone signs up.

Sarah Ferguson and Meghan Markle are both greedy and grasping. However at least SF didn’t sell the RF out for gain.

Hahaha SF has stayed hitched to Nonce Andy's coattails despite what scandal either were embroiled in.

She is utterly shameless and has hung off her duchess title with the grip of a first class grifter.

We’ve had Zara Tindall, Peter Phillips, Sarah Ferguson, who next? David Linley for selling his own furniture?

Keeping Lili and Archie out of the limelight was one of the few big points that Harry and Meghan used to make, and stick to.

As Meghan has increasingly turned to commercial ventures, more shots and "mentions" of the children have started to creep in.

I saw a headline earlier today that bleated something like "Meghan's most personal photo of her children yet!" And my immediate thought was "what's she about to release?" because it was very obvious that it was intended as a PR booster....and yes, here we are.

I don't really care what she sells, I wouldn't buy it, even if I did have the inclination and money to spend $1000 on a beige shapeless dress. I'm not watching her shows either, because I find her insincere and self-indulgent. If people like her stuff, then all power to them. Doesn't affect me in the slightest.

I dislike their lies, their manipulation of the truth, their deliberate actions to hurt others, their entitled attitude, and their habit - particularly Meghan - of making something all about them (marching at the Invictus games eg).

The one and only thing I thought was genuinely principled, was the way they stuck to their guns about not using their children's images. And now they've reneged on that too. Probably shouldn't have been surprised really. Turns out they weren't keeping their kids out of the public eye, they were just saving them for when they'd provide the optimal PR boost.

Absolutely agree with all of this.
They have no principles whatsoever.

She's not an example for anyone else to emulate. Quite the reverse!

She also never put herself forward as global humanitarian, feminist, social justice activist, producer of media that was dedicated to “illuminating thought-provoking and diverse narratives that underscore our common humanity and celebrate community”

Fergie has always been a hot mess but she’s warm and has been a wonderful mother to her girls- girls who have never put a foot wrong and conducted themselves wonderfully. Fergie has never pretended to be something she’s not.

Meghan on the other hand, had Harry and others tell the world how special she was and how she’s was going to this force for good in the world, breath of fresh air. But what we actually got, from being given the platform of a royal duchess, is a trad wife selling UPFs through NF infomercials and being a insta Hun influencer.

From the lofty heights she has spectacularly fallen. It’s beyond embarrassing.

MaturingCheeseball · 24/03/2025 21:07

She really is merching the kids now. Or at least using them to bolster her “farm to table” lifestyle rubbish.

I agree that it’s not the worst thing in the world, but it must be one of the sharpest descents in the world.

If we remove the money from the Duchy of Cornwall and distribute it then it is only fair to do the same to the Duchies of Westminster, Norfolk etc and to the very wealthy who avoid paying tax.

The Royal family are useful camouflage/ alternative public targets to the very wealthy who hide behind them and carry on making ridiculous amounts of money and avoiding tax without scrutiny.

The French had all this b*llocks sorted in 1789. In Britain, we haven't moved very far. When a Royal person is, for example, 'helping' at a food bank, does the thought cross their mind that they are togged up in clothes worth the value of several hundred food parcels? If they do, how does that make them feel? Are they all donating money without us knowing about it?

Ok some wellness thing , offering a month free you say ?
just like Harry then! 🙄

a simple explanation, Sarah is divorced , her ex husband is as close to excommunicated that his sadly overly sensitive brother can manage .
she is and remains a figure of ridicule.
are you comparing Meghan , a still married woman, whom you obviously like , otherwise why defend her!
to Sarah Ferguson? Because I can assure you that you are doing no favours to Meghan in that case!
The agreement is simply no using titles for monetary gain.
and I don’t believe Sarah ever had to sign an agreement so only Harry and Meghan are breaking that particular contract.

and finally the so and so did it defence didn’t work at school and definitely doesn’t work here!

Hmmmm - I note there are no Hermes blankets on there which Ted Sarandos has assured us Meghan can shift like water to a thirsty man in a desert. 😉

None left, that's why. All sold out 😉

Yes. With all those trading on their royal connections, there is absolutely no problem with Meghan doing the same.

Before they did this, did they merchandise the privacy of the RF and many and varied accusations against them?

MaturingCheeseball · 24/03/2025 21:26

So, Supporters, what is your view on Meghan featuring Archie and Lilibet on her selling page?

It's literally not the same at all but that doesn't suit your narrative.
