As per the DM, we are told Meg is using Fairwinds Estate winery for her rose. Sounds nice.
But a Reddit user has discovered, that Fairwinds winery is just a brand under the umbrella of Wine gift shop. They do corporate gifts and print on demand. Oh Meg, as ever

I think of it more like using their cyphers or note pads with their monograms on it 🤷🏽‍♀️

personally feel it was silly for a gift basket but I’m not on the sHe’S bReAkInG tHe rULeS wavelength

No maybe not, but signing off like that to a friend is a bit knobbish. It would be liking David Beckham signing off Christmas cards to his mates with Sir David Beckham (which I wouldn’t actually put past him 😁).

Let us all know what it is like. I don’t like Meghan and I don’t particularly like wine but I am curious to know if the wine is (genuinly) any good.

I said year’s back instead of doing Oprah and shitting on everyone, they should have just opened their own winery/vineyard and made wine. I think it would have been a success and they wouldn’t have all the negativity around them if they’d just focused on making that, and some exclusive foods/goods. A sort of Californian Highgrove but with good attitudes and the goodwill of the public. Seemed so obvious to me.

I will let you know how I find it.

Disagree on your second point. I have to say.

The year after they left was extremely ugly, even before Oprah.

The briefings were never ending. Meghan was a witch holding Harry hostage, Harry was miserable and wanted to come home.

A royal reporter openly claimed the RF hoped he’d leave her and return home alone after the year in review. He was rebuked by Omid and doubled down that he just reported what he was told.

it wasn’t all goodwill back then, it’s worse now though I agree.

Oh I was going to ask that 🙂 I am genuinely curious to know what it is about Meghan as a person, her character, her personality that resonates. There are a huge number of celebrities that do nothing for me, but there have been a tiny handful over the years who I’ve really connected with (even though I’ve never met them).

And please add me to the list of pps who’d like an answer to this question. The wail goes up frequently “Why do you hate her?” (I don’t, for the record) but a more interesting question is “Well…what do YOU like about her?”

It usually boils down to “She’s done nothing wrong” or similar, but surely there must be more to it than that?

I ask quite genuinely because I cannot for the life of me see anything to like about this woman.

I don’t. My own mother passed away in my house and there’s no sense of her there at all. I’ve never felt any kind of spirit presence from my relatives so it’s pretty extraordinary that Meghan felt Diana’s spirit. I mean even her most hardened fans must know it’s absolute nonsense and an insult to people’s intelligence that Diana would ‘reveal’ her spirit to Meghan (lucky for Meghan she was just counting on Harry believing it). Do you think William ever believed her?

Do you believe Diana channelled her spirit to Meghan @tataler ?

Well people believe in God and believe they talk to him and hear his messages, othe people believe there are bad spirits in the world. Some people believe they can talk to the dead etc. Are you going to tell everyone who believes in something (god/ spirit) that its all nonsense and insult to anyones intellogence ...🙄

tataler · 30/06/2025 16:00

I think it’s perfectly fine to not like anything about Meghan, there are many people I dislike that are well loved.

That’s life.

Well what they did instead has not gone particularly well for them in the long run.

In my opinion , I think if they’d just knuckled down with a Winery/Food type thing and been charming in public they would be in a much better place than they are now. Meghan might be the personification of the Live, Laugh, Love pinterest quote but she (they) would have been better off having “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” along with “you catch a lot more flies with honey than vinegar” as their mantras.

But as I said earlier , they were told they could no longer use HRH .

Yup but the damage is done already.

Every day is a brand new opportunity to do better.

Meghan just needs to focus on building the brand, keep consistent stock levels and be a bit more transparent.

I’m hopeful for her.

Where is the Sussex name included anywhere?

It only states by Meghan. Please show me any mention of Sussex on aseverofficial instagram or the site.

what a strange lie to tell.

You are the liar here.

This try hard bit of word salad is from the As ever front page:

What began with a small pot of fresh fruit preserves, bubbling away in my home kitchen, has inspired this curated collection to bring surprise and delight to your every day.

As ever is more than a brand. It's a love language. Created my Meghan Duchess of Sussex, As ever welcomes you to a collection of products, each inspired by her long lasting love of cooking, entertaining and hostessing with ease.

This curated collection has been crafted to elevate your everyday and inspire moments of joy.

What is it about a white label, drop label good that is "crafted" or "curated"? The implication of those words is that the product is unique in some way to Markle. Not that they are just cheap, generic products with her particular label slapped not them and a hefty mark up, indistinguishable from any other drop shipping outfit using the same products from this supplier.

Manufacture in a factory setting is a red herring. Nobody thought MM would be making this in her kitchen. She'd completely fail the FDA rules on food manufacture for the mass market, for a start. However, there is a strong implication in the words above that the product is something unique to Meghan. And we know this is not the case.

The fact is that the actual supplier was discovered through analysis of the meta data. And what did Meghan do? Did she own it? No. How could she? That completely shatters the illusion that she is a female founder. That As ever has actual foundations, when it doesn't. No, she had the meta data changed to state that the supplier is As ever - which is a lie designed to cover up the true supply chain. And now we are hearing that she intends to change supplier. Why on earth would she do this with a brand specifically and "lovingly" crafted curated to her and her alone? Well she wouldn't if that was the case, would she. But because she's merely engaged in drop shipping, she can drop her current supplier of generic shite now she's been found out.

ARO was launched during the Diana awards. No trademark, no business nothing but an announcement to be associated with Diana.

Wine launch on Diana's birthday, despite Diana being killed by a drunk driver.

All the vibes in the world won't change reality...the pair are ghouls dragging a corpse around for profit.
