Confessions of a Female Founder fails to chart this week

[foreverblowingbubbless]

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.

Is ‘be kind’ to shut people up? The Sussexes put themselves out there. If they didn’t want comments then they wouldn’t go on tv whinging about how hard their lives are or how joyful it all is. They can’t be both. Oh and Meghan isn’t young.

Around Invictus she was saying he was right in there with her. Apart from when he had to take phone calls about Invictus.

I think it’s all part of the “showing how down-to-Earth I am”. Yes I’m a duchess but I’m still a hands-on mother, which makes me doubly great.

Is 'be kind' to shut people up?

I think it used to be, @NewAgeNewMe - and didn't it once have a # in front of it for some reason? - but like calling folk racist on no evidence at all it doesn't work so well any more

Which many might consider fortunate

It's be kind. You're a mother. She's a mother. She's a woman. Blah blah🙄 for two reasons 1. To shut you up and 2. To make out you are a bad person. Sometimes there's also reason 3. To bring you to the attention of MN to get you banned. Same old .

Very true !
and it’s amazing how these “be kind” posters instantly resort to personal attacks and name calling if they receive push back!

Vitriolic, snarky, jealous and mean.

Sounds like MM personal brand values - starting with, in the public domain, when she was shooting the Reitmans commercial in Canada (way before PH) the director publicaly declared her 'the meanest person they had ever known'.

Then we have her persistent and consistent bullying behaviour reported on both sides of the Atlantic over a period of nearly a decade of staff - both victims and witnesses - in a variety of settings. She was seen to belittle, humiliate, bully and hound people from their jobs - some requiring professional intervention to alleviate the mental injury caused.

There are numerous, separate, independent and recent investigations by a variety of credible publications - most recently, only this year, in Vanity Fair. Prior to that last autumn in the Hollywood Reporter about her bullying behavior of staff in LA. Prior to that Valentine Low shared many examples in his book Courtiers and The Times also covered this on the Uk side of the pond. All of that is on top of the Buckingham Palace investigation into MM bullying of palace staff which it chose not to make public.

If there was a chink of light in any of these reports this highly litigious pair would have sued for slander / defamation.

Crickets.

Why is that?

All of that is on top of the Buckingham Palace investigation into MM bullying of palace staff which it chose not to make public.

Plus reports that the Queen reprimanded her for the way she spoke to catering staff in the run up to the wedding.

highly litigious pair exactly. They haven’t sued. Why? A few puff pieces of Meghan being the best boss, generous etc doesn’t cut it either.

Too many sources and people saying the same, on top of Harry saying in Spare, that people were often sobbing at their desks. Why?

Goodness, the Queen could be brusque herself.

Brusque and rude are two different things.

They certainly are. I am thinking though this must have been way beyond forgetting the odd P & Q.

She's not a young mother 🙄

Why do her fans keep calling her this? I was 29 when I became a mother and I still wasn't "a young mother". Now I'm younger than meghan but with a teenager and not one person would consider me a young mother because that would be weird lol

Some people I went to school with are grandmothers at this age (42). People need to get a grip

I think it’s to stop criticism like the ‘be kind’ comments.

oh dear!! Well someone here did warn about this!!

Just perfect!

The chat has moved on but Charlotte's jacket is Jack Pyke, a well known very affordable outdoor clothing brand. Unless I'm missing something? Can't see Copley anywhere but can see Jack Pyke on the side and on the zip.

Think it's this one;

I wonder are people saying 'young mother' when they mean 'mother with young children'?

Anyway, they wouldn't receive so much 'criticism' if they didn't keep putting themselves out there.

oh dear!! Well someone here did warn about this!!

I have to say my thoughts are very much along the same lines as Meghans lawyers and were from the start of reading the article.

Just goes to show the level of intellect of those fans who swallow everything Meghan Markle says.

Not the sharpest tools in the box, for sure..

A doctor once explained to me that (very roughly speaking) women's fertility is thought of in 3 chunks of 10-15 years - from age 15 to 45 (if you're lucky!!). Therefore if you're having a child close to 40 you are in the last third of that period, and having my first baby at 31, I was designated an 'elderly primagravida' ! 😂.

The pp who made all the fuss about my reminding her that Meghan was never a young mother tried to pretend I was criticising her for that...when clearly I was not.

I was triggered (to use a MN term!) by the totally inaccurate description of M as a young mother because of the sneaky insinuation which the Sussex supporters like...that she (and Harry) are innocent young things, cruelly victimised by the nasty world when in fact they are both a pair of middle-aged, developmentally-arrested whingers and attention seekers who've done untold damage to their families by their quite deliberate machinations.

Young indeed! Grrrr. If young means ridiculously immature, then OK.

Agree! And trying to claim for 8m is just pure greed.

If the person hadn’t been diabetic and therefore unable to use Epsom salts at all then there might have been more of a claim but I think it’s unlikely to go anywhere as you’ve got to take some responsibility for your personal health, in the same way that if someone had a severe nut allergy and MM showed a recipe using peanut butter then it wouldn’t be her responsibility if they decided to make it and had a reaction.

Their utter refusal to enter into any kind of rational discussion is very annoying, and I'm sure it's a deliberate tactic. Just keep on re-stating the same old, same old, ignore any challenges, or any hard evidence which goes against the Sussex narrative and then disappear.

Yes, it's annoying to anyone who expects sensible argument and discussion but I suppose even they know by now that their idols are looking very shabby and the glory days are over. They're getting increasingly desperate on here, anyway.

I suppose we should pay tribute to the stalwarts who keep the flame burning, though. They are certainly loyal in the face of overwhelming odds!!! Would some kind of award or medal be in order???

I was 36 and 38 with mine ! , I was referred to as a geriatric mother!!! ( the nurses and midwives did hurriedly explain that it wasn’t meant to be an insult!) , but this young mother narrative is not isolated to Meghan, I’ve lost count of the times the pair of them have been referred to as a “ young couple “ and “ young love “ and “ young family “ , it’s very odd!
both were approaching their 40,s they were not young !

im assuming it’s to plant the seed in peoples minds of them as the new shiny , young royals !
and handily wave away mistakes as youthful inexperience!

It fit in with Meghan's wide eyed ingenue /Anne Hathaway act, and Harry being a man child.
