"He loves me so boldly...." - Haarpers Interview with Meghan

[Phase42]

https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a69289143/meghan-markle-cover-story-interview-2025/

She's a beautiful woman but i can't understand why she just doesn't drop the titles and be herself. And it's odd how she talks about how much 'H' loves her but not how much she loves him.

HRTFT, will save it for later when I have a coffee in hand and can sit down undisturbed. This HB piece is DELICIOUS. Just a couple of initial thoughts:

• like me, Meghan needs make up to not look perpetually exhausted. Of course she's wearing a fuckton to look like this in print, but really she just looks exhausted and not in a supermodel kind of way. She's cosplaying a model (didn't she put on one of her CVs as a jobbing actress that she was a supermodel?) and it has completely backfired
• the quote about I'm not perfect (we know, love - and don't think we don't know you're poking at Kate the apparent Stepford Wife) and I get to make mistakes too is sooooo misguided. As a woman with almost unique visibility, unearned opportunities handed to her on a plate by virtue of who she married, years in showbiz, money coming out of her ears, people falling over themselves to attach themselves to her with offers of advice and guidance....no, you don't get to make mistakes. You just look like a tool, someone who couldn't bake a basic sponge when handed butter, flour, sugar and eggs and a recipe written in crayon
• I keep saying it but the whole "he loves me so much" thing is beyond creepy. I think that actually she finds him a drag. I think what she's saying is "he needs me for every little thing, I have to think for two people"
• I also think that she's DELIBERATELY trying to cosplay being an out-of-touch rich and aristocratic woman because that's what she aspires to. She wants to be the sort of 40-something year old who grew up with untold luxuries and riches, to the extent that at this point in her life she's completely over it, wants to strip it back to being a barefoot duchess and utterly relatable. She actively wants people to think she's untouchable, haughty, ranked and not linked, and she goes about this by emphasizing how ordinary she is while being introduced to an empty room as a duchess. She's sooooo transparent!

Anyway, off out now. Keep it up ladies, the first few posts were fire. He loves me so "baldly" 😂.

😂😂

What does “loves me boldly” even mean? I wouldn't like to imagine. Maybe she likes to slap his rear afterwards. 🏇

I don’t understand this “smart” narrative, I suppose if you are easily impressed with over the top word salad which never has any meaning at all you would consider her “smart” but most savvy people can see it for the nonsense it is and can judge her actions as being anything but smart, in fact quite the opposite.

I am totally here for that 🍿

You are very, very naughty. But I like you 😉

It's all a bit Jilly Cooper. I said a silent prayer to Elizabeth Arden, as he took me boldly with his oscillating manhood.

Did anyone say Meghan invented the term?
and I see you had to go back to 2010 and a thread about their wedding announcement.
ps the thread title was actually used by particular newspapers .

😂😂😂
Oh my god, the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream 🤣
🍦 🍆

Doesn’t North Western only take the top 10 per cent?

Maybe people are comparing her to Harry?

Let's face it, next to him just about anyone would look 'smart'.

But the mere fact that she married Harry undermines the claim that she is 'smart'. Women tend to marry men who are at least their equals in intellect and educational attainments. 'Smart' women don't marry dim men.

A lot of people are a bit skeptical of VB as a business woman but she is very beautiful and stylish Can't see it at all,I think she looks like ET. I don't get the hype about DB either, he's easy on the eye but those tattoos are hideous.

Someone said it was only used by tabloids and thats incorrect.

Anyway notably linked in that thread was this - the official start of the royal family board with a post from Justine agreeing to set it up - I had wondered when this separate RF board came about!

No , no ! Let’s not go there again! , I’ve only just managed to wipe it from my mind. 🤢
for fen and ind!

No idea, but you can do well in Education and still be incredibly stupid, Meghan is a fine example of that.

Funny how those who "think they are shit" can't stay away from this board, isn't it?

I don't think VB is beautiful either. David Beckham was very handsome as a young man but someone described his current look as that of a strip club bouncer. I can't shake that image now!

However, VB does have a very definite style which she works hard on. It's not to my taste but lots of people like that pared back 'high fashion' look. VB is very consistent with it and has been since jettisoning the WAG aesthetic of heavy eyeliner, hair extensions and bodycon dresses. Meghan does not have the discipline to adhere to a particular style. Even when she's wearing nice outfits, she often styles them poorly. I think this is why no major designer would want to work with her.

Indeed ! , I’m not sure if this proves what they think it does 🤔

Also, major designers want to work with women who others find aspirational. Someone glamorous, successful, an achiever in some area.
So, it's highly unlikely that a major designer would use Meghan.

Oh come on

VB’s companies are still over £77 million of cumulative losses. Despite a huge marketing and promotion push, the small profits of her make up brand 500k don’t offset current year losses from her clothes.

I’ve no idea how they would get a price of 100m.

Spot on assessment

Seems to me most are staying away given the current slant of this board.

But in the same vein, funny how those who dislike Meghan (for whatever 'reasons') can't stay away from articles/shows about her, isn't it?

Meghan doesn’t dress for her size and shape, so designers would be reluctant to let he wear their clothes. I remember the designer Tom Ford bemoaning Victoria Beckham wearing his clothes but as she was buying them there was nothing he could do (fashion Babylon)

VB does have a very definite style which she works hard on. It's not to my taste but lots of people like that pared back 'high fashion' look.
She does, but she looks unhealthily thin, she has had 'work' done and her hairstyle does nothing for her.
