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.

The shot that's making me laugh the most is the one of Archie with a massive, blousy rose covering most of his face. We see you, Archie.

I know😂😂😂 like WTF.

I guess no surprise she is monetizing her kids, why have kids from a British Prince and not make any money out of them, She is probably sniggering to herself about using her husbands Royal offspring to make the money the Queen wouldn’t allow her to.

It's that annoying, hypocritical influencer thing of 'Hey, everybody! Look at my children!/ Ugh! Why are you nosey people invading my children's privacy? I shall obscure their faces to preserve their integrity.' Just don't put the pictures out there.

My prediction is that one day soon there will be a full At Home with the SUSSEXES photo spread in whatever the American equivalent of Hello! magazine is. The children will be all over that in exchange for mummy and daddy getting a big payday. One suspects these latest reveals have something to do with Meghan getting pulled up on merching the Wales children. She's got to get her own out there if she wants those clicks.

The Sucksexes aren't very good at lateral thinking. A few examples:

We are thinking of adopting another child / Let's merch our kids

Our lives are at risk. We need 24/7, on demand security / We're Royal. That's why we're going to Nigeria, Colombia and Ukraine

We deserve IIP status, which will give us access to intelligence and security information / Have a look at these photos we took without permission inside Buck House. Oh, and did your know, my brother is circumcised?

I just don't think placing yourself as an ambassador of the dangers of social media whilst simultaneously pimping a scripted lifestyle that is out of reach for many are compatible. There are studies and reports on the dangers of unrealistic lifestyles and they have now include the children in that facade. Mainly to make supporters give them cash to prove their loyalty. The children's faces may not be shown but the cameras are on them with undoubtedly re takes when they haven't got their spontaneous lines correct.

Those roses are beautiful.

I sincerely hope the rumours about them considering adoption have no basis in truth at all, because adopting a child as a PR strategy to try and boost your reputation would be one of the most disgusting things I can imagine.

The other reason it would be completely disgraceful is the power imbalance the adopted child would feel. They wouldn’t be in the line of succession, be related to the RF or be a prince or princess. And they wouldn’t have the beloved Spencer genes or the connection to Diana that H&M prize above all else. In a family where they’d dropped the titles and distanced themselves from royalty it might be different, but Harry and Meghan cling so hard to their royal associations. Any adopted in child would be a second class citizen.

it would be so ill advised that I would be hard pressed to believe this even of them.

I think I find it weird as it is " my loves". Why is it not " our" ? Harry seems to be slowly disappearing from Meghan's life. Perhaps this is PR - distancing herself from Harry.

I also really hope this is just mischievous rumour, I’m pretty sure it is. The tiny doubt I have is that the Waleses have three children so…

I think it's highly improbable. The child would not be royal, not in the Line of Succession, and would not have the Spencer genes, thus the link to Diana. Those things are of paramount importance to them.

I have no idea if there is any truth in the adoption rumour but, I can see her wanting to be an Angelina Jolie.

Musing here but, on the back of a number of MN threads on the subject, how would it pan out for an adopted child with any future inheritances from Charles?

I really can't see an adoption happening.
As PPs have said, they're all about the RF's and Diana's genes.
Other than adopting a child, I can see Meghan wanting an Angelina Jolie type profile though.
Good luck with that.

Well I’m sure you would hope that was the case

Regarding the “ginger gene” , it is strong. Dm was one of six and every sibling had at least one ginger-haired child. Dsis (brunette) married a N African, and when nephew grew facial/chest hair, it was ginger

Using the dcs as props is rather ick. I watched that terrible documentary about the man who murdered his Instagrammy wife and little girls, and early on it was awful how every bit of life was filmed multiple times to make the kids look the cutest. (Just pointing out how wearing and inappropriate kid merching is, not excusing evil bastard in documentary in case anyone leaps on this.)

I hope Harry isn’t unconsciously recreating the unresolved emotional dynamics of his own childhood by positioning a vulnerable adopted child as the ultimate spare.

Who knows, but it'll be someone else's fault.

Where have all these adoption rumours come from? I just can’t see it being true.

Good observation.

Yes, Harry seems to be becoming increasingly irrelevant as far as Meghan is concerned. He was there applauding her 'Time 100' speech but she didn't bother to attend his 'Legends of Aviation' event even though it was just down the road in LA.

She's discarded so many people in her life once they outlived their usefulness so it wouldn't be terribly surprising if she had the same attitude to Harry.

Think it’s a load of baloney. Edit: deleted ‘myself’ I blame traitors always yourself or myself and now I can’t stop!

He just seems to be to be yet another entitled man telling women what to do.

Yes but without the Harry/ RF connection would people be interested ?
And remember, the RF can be ruthless . Sarah Ferguson was effectively banished for years ( with a very small payout) and the Duke of Windsor was also cast out .

Meghan needs the royal connection though. What is she without it? She gets to perform at Invictus and do the quasi royal tours.

That's the problem for Meghan.

It was one thing to cast aside Thomas Markle or Jessica Mulroney. But Harry is the only reason she is relevant. Also, she's now middle aged with two children, so finding a replacement might not be easy.

I'm not predicting a divorce but I do think Meghan sees Harry as increasingly irrelevant to her public image. I think on one level she'd love to get rid of him but she knows she can't.

Sarah was banished because Phillip was furious with her and rightly so. However the Queen was clearly a softer person and other members of the family seemed to like her personally.
