It's not good news for Meghan. The podcast by Meghan is out of the Spotify 100 in the US and the UK. With Apple it's not even in the top 200 chart.

What kind of business is that though?

Selling a relatively small number of generic white labelled products a few times a year?

Given the logistics of setting everything up and keeping it ticking over, it would run at a big loss even if everything is 'sold out'.

It is bizarre, like a shop only opening at Christmas, Easter , Halloween etc . Hardly a business, more like my friend who sells handmade stuff at the odd craft fair.

And in your friend's case, the products actually are handmade.

But 'As Ever' is just factory made white labelled stuff. It's really such an odd business, but that's hardly surprising.

Its Happening Wedding Dress GIF by Peacock

When MM and JLK greet each other at the beginning of the podcast and exclaim, "It's happening, it's happening", little did they know that this is the image they would conjure up in many minds.

🤣🤣 indeed it did sound desperately fraught didn’t it?! 🤣

I can tell you what she’s not doing…piling on hate towards someone she doesn’t know like half the people on here. That makes her a winner in my eyes by comparison.

No she just piles on the hate to the people she does know - friends, family colleagues - she always has to have someone in her sights to target to discharge her narc rage. She holds on to percieved slights and resentments which she then twists and builds up within her fantastical mind. She's bitter and brittle. A good outcome is to be disguarded and cut off the worst outcome is to be belitted, harrassed and bullied out of your livelihood or smeared globally with unfounded claims of racist behaviour. She is a very damaged and dangerous woman.

From Hello magazine:

However, a spokesman for the Sussexes swiftly addressed the speculation, confirming that the couple "do not use" their HRH titles, despite no formal legal removal of the styles.
Their agreement with the late Queen Elizabeth II was that while they would retain the HRH honorifics, they would no longer actively use them after their royal exit, often dubbed "Megxit.

No mention of using it for commercial gain, just an outright denial that she uses it at all.

My brain hurts!

Actually you might be right - those people that take an empty retail unit for Christmas and fill it full of cheap Chinese crap. 😂

Oh yes I agree. I was just saying that with what she (and Netflix) said about doing “seasonal releases” I think it’s clear that there’s no intention to restock. I don’t know what the long term plan is for As Ever, maybe she is hoping that it gets picked up by somewhere with physical stores because of how popular it/she is, and then there will be more permanent lines with larger quantities.

Why on earth would you use HRH to friends ??

You wouldn’t! 😆

Maybe it's a big experiment on how many blatant lies these two can tell while certain people believe everything they say, even when their eyes and material reality are telling them differently. It's like cult brainwashing.

Rather foolish clap back considering that removal of HRH is actually much easier and simpler than removing the other titles!

I do think she thinks someone is going to pay her millions to buy/license the brand name and her name association. Possibly in the same way the Duchy brand was sold to Waitrose.

It's Edward and Wallis all over again.

He was very peeved at her not being granted HRH, and spent years unsuccessfully trying to change this. He insisted that their household staff address her as 'Your Royal Highness'.

"Technically" the Sussexes remain TRH but they were specifically told not to use it, so they really shouldn't be. HRH is the royal 'trademark' so I think this would be taken a lot more seriously than them using the peerage titles, which I think nobody really cares about.

I agree, I think this step is a bit more serious than their other transgressions.

It was obviously serious enough for the usage of the HRHs to be removed as part of the original agreement. I doubt BP would do anything based on comp slips posted on social media, but if they started using the style at public events (or on their pseudo Royal tours) I suspect it might be a different matter.

I bet their staff absolutely do have to address them as “your royal highness” though!

Very weird their spokesperson has now issued a denial when it can be proven clear as day that she has done this. But I guess this must be Meghan’s truth, which like Harry’s, is as real as “so called objective facts”!

Wow. That’s a lot of anger you seem to be carrying towards her. I think I’ll bow out of this because it’s very intense and honestly I find this unsettling.

Mate, @KilkennyCats wrote two words to you. You wrote a 13-line diatribe in response.

I don’t think @KilkennyCats is the one who’s annoyed here 😂🤷‍♀️

KilkennyCats · 29/04/2025 13:30

I’m not remotely angry with you Confused
There’s no need to do a big fussy flounce when reading a thread pisses you off, just stop reading.

No one will notice. Or care.
