I don’t think Harry has accepted it to this day.

Btw, @IcedPurple , while the marriage with Engleson was short (2 years, half of which she spent in Toronto) they were together for a total
of 9 years from 2004. If she didn’t pick up any tips from him about running a production company during that time, she probably is thick.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say she is thick. I think it’s more that as pp have said, she isn’t curious and doesn’t really think she can learn anything from others, or have the humility to admit she needs to do so. She seems to think that just by deciding to do something, she will be an expert. But she lacks the depth of knowledge and also the patience and staying power to take advantage of any opportunities that come her way

Haven't RTFT .

Does the return involve another stationery cupboard moment?

Or front seat of a car brief romance?

MonteShitshow · 08/11/2025 20:53

I think it’s a much more duchess-like role in this new movie.

CathyorClaire · 08/11/2025 21:09

If you don't like the behaviour of the Yorks and the other minor royals in trading off their connections, then there's no reason to give the Sussexes a pass, is there.

Agree entirely.

Whole lot milk their unearned privilege endlessly and each are as venal as the next.

Much more.
Maybe she'll have a monogrammed linen napkin to dab her lips with as her head appears.

Very well put, smilesy - pluss of course it's not easy to learn anything if your real interest's where the camera is and the "Ooooo look, I'm HERE!!" glitziness of it all

Maybe not 'thick' but not especially intelligent either. But more to the point, completely lacking in humilitiy, curiosity and a willingness to learn from others.

A 5 year production contract with the world's biggest streamer, and next to nothing to show for it, is surely proof that neither she nor her husband is ever going to have a career in the competitive world of content production.

Latest pics show H & M going to a flash party in Beverly Hills. He looks like sweaty Rory McGrath and she mysteriously seems to be wearing a navy top with a black skirt, when her over all look would suggest she was after a sophisticated all black outfit. Maybe it's something to do with the camera flash.

It sounds as though you actually live with her, you know her so well?

It’s the Mumsnet version of the ongoing fictionalization of the lives of Harry and Meghan Sussex.

Always, to be continued…

Harry does not look happy does he ? Meanwhile Meghan looks like the cat who got the cream !

No, it’s just from what I have observed of how she has conducted her business ventures etc. Can you say that she has learned anything from working with Netflix, or that anything she has started is still going in any meaningful fashion? 😊

@Thedomyou posted up thread about the As Ever website traffic breakdown, really interesting stuff.

Your question about the Salesforce traffic going into referral, I think could well be email traffic that hasn’t been set up correctly for tracking in Google Analytics - it doesn’t make sense that the email traffic would be as low as it is given that all her super fans will be on the mailing list - I’m assuming they are still doing regular email marketing.

the drop in site traffic is a huge concern for her, particularly given that she is still releasing new products - it shows organic interest is dropping, and that rate of drop off is extremely quick if she’s 50% down in traffic in October compared to July.

I suspect she’s too arrogant to think she should invest in marketing and that the brand should stand on the strength of her name alone. Certainly she has been able to exploit “free” advertising so far in the form of PR and social media, but it’s not a long term strategy if you want to build a brand that can stand on its own two feet, rather than just fan base merchandise which is what she has now. Mind you, I suspect she’s not making the margins she would want out of the business as it is, so I imagine further eating into her profits by spending money on advertising is very unpalatable to her.

The way things are going, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if As Ever was quietly discarded by some time next year.

Has anyone seen any reviews of the new candles / wine?

Do you know what her plans are? Maybe she is just wanting to do things she enjoys but doesnt feel the need to build it in to something huge? You think she should be which is why you say that. Not everyone or everything a person does has to result in making huge amounts of money.

Why would she not want it to be huge and successful ?
Clearly they need to generate income which seems to have landed on Meghan’s shoulders so why would she not want it to be a money spinner ?
That doesn’t make sense !

Indianrollerbird · 09/11/2025 10:30

Meghan very clearly stated in one of her recent interviews that she wants to take As Ever global. Why don't her defenders ever actually listen to what she says?

They need to? Does you know their finances in detail to know what they need? You only suspect they need to because you judt look at what they might be spending. You dont consider or know how much they have, whats invested and the returns they are making on it. Peolle with that type of wealth will have money making money.

There are no signs they are running out of money, they haven't downsized home which us usually the first indicator.

If they are affording their life without needing to bring in huge income good for them, maybe they are choosing to spend more of their time in other ways. Not everything is about money and amassing as much as you can.

🤣 @Spectre.

She and Harry have a life style that requires huge amounts of money over a long period of time.
A close 'friend' said of Meghan that she wanted As Ever to make her a billionaire.

Money (and having a lot of it) is a big driver for her.

Why would anyone bother setting up a business if they didn’t want it to be a success? These things obviously involve time and cost. Why would anyone do that without expecting a profitable outcome?

Usually these are the way its done, how much profit she wants to make is up to her who is anyone to tell someone they need to be making lots of money? Her definition of success at her point in her life is clearly different to what you and othe posters keep thinking it should be. Who are to define what her success should be like?

Lots of people start businesses because of their passion for something, they arent always profitable or make small profits ...so what? Its their life after all, their business, their ambition and so on.

He's definitely not happy. I wonder what's causing this discontent? It seems that everyone and their dog was at this party.

IAmATorturedPoet · 09/11/2025 11:15

@Spectre8 She had access to the best business brains, financial backing and a staff of people and you think this was all for a jam making and flower sprinkle side hustle? Come on now.
