The Era of Joy didn't last long.

This is going to be interesting, it's going to be a full on PR onslaught for the next few months, and then we will have Harry launching his very own 'commercial project'.

Clearly an article straight from the Office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, giving an exclusive to the DM.

I don’t want to do an insta link as it will identify my account but this reel by Michael Pacino is very funny.

A little girl's birthday photo where we can hardly see her? As ever, it's all about Meghan.

And I agree that it's odd that there are very few family photos. It's just Meghan and one or both of the kids as an accessory.

It's notable that she's showing more and more of their faces though. I wonder what Harry thinks, or if he's ever sober enough to notice?

New photos released just now of Hazza with Lili. Is Meghan on MN do we think? 😆

I've just had a look. It's actually a cute photo. Would be better in colour though. The black and white thing is pretentious for children's photos.

Meghan is clearly desperate to merch the children. Or at least Lili. Poor Archie only got one back of head photo for his birthday.

Mylovelygreendress · 04/06/2025 16:24

It’s all about Lili isn’t it ?

Very probably. Or one of the comms team. More likely is that one of the comms team has suggested a post including H and she has followed the advice. Or H himself said: 'My love, go and adorn your Meghan muff with flower sprinkles; breathe deep and summon the female force of your Nigerian, Maltese and Irish ancestors; soak in a bath of As ever ginger tea; and relax, because you work so hard, being a female flounder, and a mom, and a wife, and a fiend.' As soon as her ass disappears out the door, H snatches her phone, keys in the security code (I*m$p£nc€r), and posts a photo of himself.

I'm not sure if I'll feel more sorry for Lili if she grows up into a willowy Diana clone or if she doesn't. I know there are comments about how Louis looks like Michael Middleton and how much Charlotte resembles the late QE (etc) but that happens with all kids. I have an uncomfortable feeling though about the degree of exceptional specialness that might be expected from Archie and Lili. I hope I'm wrong

Nice pic with Harry though, she was a cute baby (doing the "who are you and what am I doing here?" look that is so adorable)

I think that maybe Trump and his tariffs have also had a part in this - possibly making her business plan untenable if stock is being sourced from overseas.

She has the worst luck in the world for timing things.

On the question of timing, I think repeated bad timing isn't bad luck; it's not being on the ball. Applies to everyone, not just MM. Everyone knew Trump had a good chance of winning, and he started with tariffs in 2016. Everyone knew Harry was the second son. Everyone knew that the tide had been turning on influencing for at least a couple of year before TikTok reached it's pinnacle. I grant the pandemic took most people by surprise - but anyone with any salt had crisis management plans in place (including the RF), and it was the least prepared, and those with the least fat, who suffered the most. H&M are consistently behind the curve because that's what they are: behind.

I certainly think she or her team follow Reddit etc and respond to SM . How can she or them not think that Harry should have had a photo there originally ? Harry is kicked in the teeth time and time again by her.

Hailey had a leading NYC dermatologist called Dr. Bhanusal on her Advisory Board. He has a very successful track record of launching and selling products with other companies before working with Hailey. I would be willing to bet that he is the one with the knowledge about lip skin to develop such a good product and not Hailey.

Rhode products were dramatically launched, sold out and then suspiciously quickly restocked. Hailey and team ensured broad distribution of her products via specialty beauty stores such as Sephora where people could actually see and touch the product, as a complement to the cost-efficient online store. That is down to solid operations people...not a football team of comms people.

Hailey had almost three years of sales data for E.L.F to review so that they could make an offer to acquire Rhode. And more importantly, I am sure the IP was very well patented.

It goes back to the basics. Managing staff. Listening to expert advice. Understanding the business.

Rhode Review

Surely the team behind Rhode used Hailey Bieber, rather than Hailey Bieber setting up a team that was miraculously $1bn successful? Hailey Bieber had no talent or experience of note when Rhode came about. It was her marriage to Justin Bieber (poor lost soul) who made her what she is today. Kinda reminds you of someone....

M is being careful not to overstate H's importance. It's only a single sperm and, who knows, the work of minutes, for goodness sake.

Family pet names in those circles are generally jokey, a bit deliberately excruciating, and confined to a relatively small circle.

I doubt Markle understands that . Or maybe she did.

It reminds me of my view that calling that child by the late Queen's private nickname is one of the worst and most disgusting things they have done. Amongst much else.

The other one sounds like a kid living in reduced circumstances. Which I suppose is true.

She just does not understand, and has made no effort to.

That makes sense, I can see why she used it. I need to remember that she is aiming at the US market.

I think it's difficult to overstate how much she hates the UK and the British. She wants nothing more to do with the UK other than what it can do for her. She only wants America, and only a single specific slice of it. That's all she's ever wanted. She's a little person, with a narrow mind and a total lack of curiosity (because she's too insecure) - and ambitions utterly beyond her reach.

Yet she loves her British title.

I'm pleased that free speech is alive and well in the USA. For the first time, and foolishly, I have posted on Celebitchy, annoyed by the US posters presuming to speak on behalf of the British tax payer when it comes to Harry's legal costs in his security case. Have my factually based anti-Harry comments appeared? No.

Maybe the children are just desperately plug ugly, and she wants to hide them away, as with her father at the wedding?

That site used to be my guilty pleasure some years ago, even if it was annoying and silly at times. It started going way downhill after the Trump election, but now it's basically a cultish Kate and William hate site. I am convinced they hate the Wales far more than they love the Sussexes. On the rare occassions I take a peek into that cesspit I'm gobsmacked by the insanity of it all.

Shouldn’t a birthday photo for Lili be about…Lili? if they don’t want to post a proper photo of her, why post photos of themselves 🤷‍♀️

Meghan and Harry dancing around the delivery room waiting for her contractions to start.

But you need to see it to understand the full cringeability of it all. Words cannot express.

Oh my word. So many questions:

Why has Harry got his hood up?
Why are they taking up a hospital room when she is clearly not in labour?
Side when did dancing induce labour?
Since when was being a week late a problem?
How does this celebrate the birthday girl?
Has it never occurred to Harry that he releases far more private information than ever appears in the press?
