Is As ever all over? Starting to feel like it.

It’s been 14 hours since the launch of the 2024 Rose. Nothing has sold out. This is despite it being designed again as a scarcity drop, so it can’t be argued she’s finally got her stock levels right.

  • As ever stated the wine launch going ‘live’ at on the 5th August. Language designed to get you to rush and buy. Just like all this SM shopping you get now.
  • Meghan put out a message many hours ago, stating that they have so much more stock (sad clapback to stuff not shifting) but hurry and be quick because it’s selling fast!!! (It’s clearly not)
  • This launch however, has attracted very little press compared to previous drops

The scarcity gimmick is already tired and because she’s been absent from SM for 2 months…save for a few stock images/videos- she’s lost any momentum she had. She’s putting in bare minimum and her customer base feel it. She’s checked out.

There’s been talk of another series of WLM 3 and Meg getting a new NF contract, but I think that is just to fill the void until she can get WLM2 out. At which point, we will find out if there is any truth in any further deals.

The reason why I doubt WLM3, is that for continuity, you would need the same venue. But the home is now being used to to host weddings etc, it’s no longer a private rental but one open to the public to rent. There’s no way Meg would film in that location now. In addition she would need to have gotten the go ahead already for WLM3 and be filming right now to be able to stick to a schedule. The fact that it isn’t already confirmed, it’s giving the signal that WLM is over (in addition to knowing NF deal is done)

Now if WLM is over, I don’t think she has the draw to pull people to As ever. She doesn’t engage with her fan base enough, she does the bare minimum of SM posts, which she hasn’t even achieved the last few months. The Shopmy page is dead too. This is why the new wine launch has barely registered and hasn’t sold out 14 hours later. Yes, there will be more stock but it’s been designed for a sell out so there won’t be huge numbers.

As ever I think will be slowly wound down. There will be WLM2, with maybe another 18 months of drops. Then like everything else, it will be dropped quietly. Everyone is starting to get a bit bored by the half hearted, very beige effort she’s put into her ‘business’ and have tuned out.

She will have to launch yet another version of herself very soon. We’ve had actress, feminist, activist, producer, philanthropist….now female founder. God knows what’s next!

"Sources reveal that the Sussexes have opted to keep childcare within the family, with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, taking on the role of the children's nanny. The source says that the decision for Doria to step up followed a series of unsuccessful partnerships with professional nannies in the past few years".

Has she got a guest with her ?

AtIusvue · 12/08/2025 19:05

The new trailer is up, they seemed to have toned down the tweeness a bit. It’s def not as cringe as the first one!

AtIusvue · 12/08/2025 19:07

Yeh, seems she’s got the 3 Michelin star chef Clare Smyth…well it’s looks like her anyway!

It’s still the same as last time, just less insipidness.

Chrissy Tiegan is a guest.

Chrissy Tiegan is a guest.

Oh dear, I know she apologised for the awful bullying but probably only because she was outed.

AtIusvue · 12/08/2025 19:19

I think the Xmas episode is already filmed though. She’s in a cardigan with wrapping paper, in a place with dark wood, not the light decor of the house they filmed in.

So I’m guessing, that’s more of what we will see in the Xmas episode

She really was awful . Not just one victim .

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 12/08/2025 15:42

Maybe the nannies are to look after Harry.

Now that would make sense. Especially if they have juggling skills!

Spectre8 · 12/08/2025 20:28

Tan France! Lov him so ill be watching that episode and the one with chef jose too.

CathyorClaire · 12/08/2025 21:17

and isn't Harry mad about the environment, sustainablity, wildlife, natural history...

He's mad about hunting.

Maybe a show about blood sports and how they're really OK, yah?

MrsLeonFarrell · 12/08/2025 21:39

Watching the trailer i wondered if the whole programme would be better without Meghan's constant hyperbole? She seems to be doing more learning as opposed to teaching which is a better angle as she doesn't give the impression, even in the trailers, of being that handy in the kitchen. It isn't ground breaking but it won't scare any horses and if she didn't keep overselling everything in the voiceovers would probably attract fewer negative comments.

I wondered that myself, @hepsitemiz - the only thing I can find is this:

Is this one of their investments and this nanny advert an underhand means of advertising?

AtIusvue · 12/08/2025 22:04

Seems many of the guests have been arranged by Netflix- as they all have shows on NFs too. So they are all just appearing on each others shows. Just like the podcast world.

I think it would be best to keep Harry out of the show. He's hardly an asset.

Doria must be some sort of superhuman because I thought she was also CEO, CFO and COO and of course FOUNDER of Loving Kindness Sr Care - amazing to be working your start-up and juggling the care of a couple of toddlers at nearly 70. Remarkable.

I didn’t watch the previous episodes and won’t be watching this lot either but I wouldn’t be surprised if the episode with CT is a good one given her and Meghan have so much in common. 🙄

Profhilodisaster · 13/08/2025 05:16

@Weepixie I know CT apologised , but what she did was so awful I wouldn't want to associate with anyone capable of being so cruel. I wonder whose idea it was to have her appear.

Profhilodisaster · 13/08/2025 06:04

The Parents Network The Archewell Foundation and the network will work to unite and uplift parents and caregivers and systematically change the social media platforms and devices that create a harmful and dangerous environment for young people around the world.

That is sick.

CT is awful, Meghan is obviously prepared to overlook anything and accept being called out for a hypocrite in an effort to get her show talked about. Chrissy's online bullying history will certainly get Meghan a few column inches.🤑

BigWillyLittleTodger · 13/08/2025 07:42

Those tweets are disgusting, what a vile woman, funny how Jessica was dropped with immediate effect by Meghan after her tweets, which although were bad they did not compare to the ones above. Jessica lost her show and was basically cancelled and here is Meghan platforming Chrissy Teigen whilst supposedly campaigning against online bullying with the Parents Network. They are clearly “friends” considering Meghan sent her a pot of her jam, what is it they say, birds of a feather?

MrsMitford3 · 13/08/2025 07:48

Chrissy Teigan has repeatedly proven to be a nasty bully who will do or say anything for a column inch.
Her tweets are vile and shocking which I suppose was why she posted them-shock value-isn't she funny stuff
I wouldn't touch her or anything she was associated with with a barge pole!!!

Thedom · 13/08/2025 08:01

@Profhilodisaster The ex military guy you linked to the other day, is getting reposted all over social media, this is his take on the latest PR from the Markles since the release of the trailer..

He really has a way with words.

@EdwardIV63

"How, in God’s name, can any man or woman possessed of reason, morality, and the barest grasp of decency look upon Meghan Markle and her cuckolded, ever-compliant Harry and deem them worthy of praise?

Has the world’s moral compass spun so wildly off its axis that treachery now passes for courage, vanity for virtue, and the systematic wrecking of one’s own family for an act of principle? The very notion beggars belief.

Here is a woman who slithered into the Royal Family on a tide of curated charm, feigned devotion, and the allure of modern glamour—only to repay the welcome with cold, calculated betrayal. She has not merely distanced herself from the institution that embraced her, but has actively sought to wound it, maligning its members to a salivating press and trafficking in half-truths and innuendo for financial gain.

Her husband—once respected for his service and duty—has been reduced to a simpering cipher, a man so enthralled by his wife’s manipulations that he gladly serves as the chief herald of his own family’s humiliation.

Their behaviour has been nothing short of an orchestrated campaign of dishonour. They have turned family grievances into a grotesque public spectacle, selling the dignity of the Crown to the highest bidder. Worse still, they have exploited the very Monarchy they claim to despise as their chief currency, all the while undermining it with every self-pitying word and spiteful act.

And yet—astonishingly—there remain those who will offer them applause, as if deceit were admirable and betrayal a mark of courage. Such people mistake gossip for gospel, self-promotion for sacrifice, and celebrity for statesmanship. It is an indictment on our age that some cannot distinguish between a sovereign institution, shaped and preserved by centuries of duty and sacrifice, and a tawdry soap opera conjured by two malcontents in search of perpetual grievance.

To praise Meghan and Harry now is not merely poor judgment—it is moral degeneracy dressed up as empathy. It is to side with vanity against virtue, chaos against continuity, and to cheer as the pillars of our heritage are kicked down by the very hands that once swore to uphold them. In short, it is the triumph of the shallow over the steadfast, and it is nothing less than disgraceful."

Its a classic 😀
