Not listened to the first in Meghan's podcast series, a conversation with the founder of Bumble, Whitney Wolfe Heard, but the Mail has collated all the press reviews so far, with links. The Guardian, Telegraph and i-Paper are unanimous: the podcast is cloyingly dreadful.

There were musings on X that one possible reason that William and Kate chose not to do the Windsor pap walk on Sunday was that they did not want the children's clothes being "merched" by their sister-in-law.

Didn't make sense at the time but it does now!

So gossip and speculation, no facts just making up stuff again

What is your opinion on Meghan putting specific clothes that George and Charlotte wore on her shopmy easter edit?

If you are concerned, maybe take it up on X?

It's interesting that William has appointed Mischon de Reya as his lawyer so he nolonger has the same lawyer as KCIII. I read somewhere that it was done to block M from using Diana's divorce lawyer if she and H divorce. Maybe, but there are other benefits - greater confidentiality, two separate practices to deal with joint issues like the Sussexes.

I read thta too, but thought it very unlikely. Firstly, Diana’s divorce lawyer Anthony Julius is long-retired from Mischon de Reya. Secondly, in a divorce the conflict would be between the separating spouses. Not on of the spouses and their brother-in-law, whose assets (the Duchy of Cornwall) Harry has absolutely no claim on in any event. Although if William was a client, I would be surprised if a law firm would choose to act for Meghan, just because it wouldn’t be a sensible decision, strategically! (Any way, they’d almost certainly get divorced in California - if that were to happen, which is obviously pure speculation).

Mischons is a good firm with some excellent partners who act for individuals in relation to many different matters. They have super-swish offices too in Covent Garden. Maybe William just fancied a change?

It's actually really creepy, weird and stalkerish!

It is just speculation of course but why was the Easter edit taken down?

Uricon2 · 23/04/2025 18:07

Said it before but there are small shops selling candles etc on Etsy that have infinitely more of a clue about quality, presentation and customer service than anything Meghan has managed commercially so far. It is unfathomable.

I should have been clearer. The speculation was that William's move to Mischon de Reya was to block Meghan from choosing them in the event of a divorce ie to represent Meghan would be seen as a conflict of interest. If I were William and forging my own path, I would want a different legal firm to the one used by my parent.

I've just googled the dress and it's £300 , 1 of the sweaters is also 300 odd quid and the dogtooth skirt is £1,300 certainly way out of my budget!

I think they were referring to the items she used during her cooking type show!

It's as if she's playing some weird game and doesn't give a monkeys that it makes her look foolish.Maybe it's to annoy K&W ?
I agree that the whole thing is so sloppy .

She's looking for a reaction. This is what people do when you 'grey rock' them: the poke and provoke and prod, to get something - anything - out of you. It makes them feel they still matter in your life, even if it's a negative response they're getting. They're still in your heads and that's what they need to feel they still exist and are important.

Could be for her husband's sake (he's not getting anything at all out of them, if the papers are to be believed), or it could be off her own bat. I'd wager the former with her having nothing to do and potentially something to gain as a secondary impact.

No, the items on her ShopMy page are clothing

I try to give the benefit of the doubt to the stalking claims of the children but to randomly announce Archie is about to loose a tooth at the times 100 event just seems so bizarre, how many coincidences are too many. Not that he's losing a tooth that's what happens to children but I cannot imagine any other speaker or guest announcing the fact.

Talking about him losing a tooth?! So it’s not actually happened yet. I get she’s excited about him losing his first tooth but it’s just got a wobbly tooth at the moment. No one else gives a shit, no need to mention it (apart from the fact that she can’t stop taking about her kids personal details even though she has vowed to protect their privacy!)

It’s another example of Catherine and Louis went to Tenerife, Meghan and Archie went to Elevenerife!

Did she really say that? Not only is it highly irrelevant, but on the same day as the Prince Louis photo? She is really really weird.

She is really beginning to gove credence to the suggestion that she is a fixated person.

glitterturd · 23/04/2025 19:50

I guess it's very hard for her having to produce " three products at a time" 🙄🙄🙄 can she make herself look any more stupid?

I don't think he is retired. He's only 68 and still on their website as Deputy Chairman

Interestingly his wiki page states that his specialism is not divorce these days but defamation, international trade disputes and media law

Anthony Julius

Anthony is a highly regarded litigation lawyer, an acknowledged legal expert on defamation...

And yet more beige at that NYC panel.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 23/04/2025 20:16

It’s this inconsistency that I just don’t get.

Okay, you don’t want to exploit your kids. But you’re happy to cash in on your niece and nephew?

You want to protect your kids privacy? Fair enough. I actually applaud this. Except when you don’t, and show just enough of them to satisfy the public and make them recognisable. You also disclose their medical diagnosis and other personal details like when they lose their teeth etc. That’s not privacy. And I say that to both Meghan AND Harry.

Dont even get me started on their media/business strategy. Honestly Meghan & Harry, DM and I will gladly give you free advice.

I just cannot believe how wrong they keep getting things!

With wrinkled trousers that need taking up. Honest to God, I cannot take this any more 🤦🏼‍♀️
