For Meghan and Harry, As ever and Archewell posts.

‘evolved to align’ 🤣

🤣🤣 pass the dressing! , it’s needed for the salad! 🤣

Leaning into the learnings!

Well according to Meghan Markle in her own gushing words (The Tig) he was saintly for her whole life, making huge personal and financial sacrifices and supporting her right up until the days before her wedding when clearly her bridezilla personality exploded.

He wasn’t the only one in the firing line - others allegedly included a toddler princess and the future Queen.

But she has shown this ugly, emotionally reactive, bullying, belittling and scorched-earth behaviour time and time again - to a range of family, friends, colleagues and staff who have not complied with her exacting demands / fragile ego - over many years, in multiple contexts, on both sides of the Atlantic. A tiny bit of dignity, restraint and a drop of the ‘compassion’ she bangs on about deployed closer to home would have served her well.

But if you are an emotionally ignorant, grandiose and delusional fool - I suppose you will keep on repeating the same mistakes if you have zero self awareness, no ability to reflect or take on board feedback or concern for the impact you have on others.

Having a passion for elevating everyday moments sounds absolutely exhausting. But that's just me, who only elevates her coffee cups
@MrsLeonFarrell I keep misreading as levitating not elevating…… 🫣🙄

Convenient of you to ignore the things he has done like going to the press etc.

Just because someone has been good previously it doesnt mean you have to keep them in your life of they then do something that you donr find acceptable.

You might think what he did doesnt warrant cutting him off but thats you. Other people are different. You also dont and wont be privy to everything that has happened either.

I can speak of the good things my father did too up until he didnt and was abusive and then I won't have nice things to say. My father was diagnosed with dementia, that doesnt change what I would say about him either nor did diagnosis wipe out all the toxic stuff he had done and make me want to be running to his side to care for him.

All this bs about he is still your dad...and? That in itself is toxic telling ppl they should remain in a relationship with someone regardless.

Someone has pointed out on Reddit, that she’s jumped up her pricing.

Eg Jam was $9 (without box) it’s now $12 (without box)

Gift packaged jam is only up $1

That’s quite the jump. Is that a sign of trouble?

Also noticed on her website…it doesn’t look like others at this time of year. Where the focus is on spring and they are promoting their Easter products. Hers is weirdly autumnal.

I highly suspect, there won’t be any actual Easter products from Meg. Maybe a restock of chocolate. But she will continue to market whatever jam/tea stock she has left as an Easter ‘hostess’ gift. This will go on until the stock runs out.

Theres clearly no forward planning. Theres clearly no new products coming forward. It’s all starting to smell a bit don’t you think.

This is Williams Sonoma homepage.

This is As ever

Seems very odd! , if they weren’t shifting at a lower price, how will upping the cost help? 🤔🤷‍♀️

I think any new products….will be limited edition( not actually adding to the range) …designed to be attached to the regular products to try and shift them.

So a $20 dollar item, limited numbers. Then attached to a hamper of her leftovers.

I really don’t know.

From AI google
:A company might suddenly raise prices for several reasons, ranging from proactive business growth strategies to defensive measures against rising operational costs
. While it can be a sign of financial trouble or desperation to cover losses, it is just as often a response to increased demand, a change in market positioning, or a way to maintain profit margins amid inflation

Still doesn’t really explain it ! 🤷‍♀️

You mean the apple didn’t fall far from the tree? Fair point.

A source in Meghan’s camp told The Sun: “Meghan is still on good terms with the Netflix team and close personal friends with Ted (Sarandos) so hasn’t wanted to upset him, but is very happy to have full control of the company… Netflix have been a good partner, but she’s wanted to go global with the brand for some time’
Hideous thought but do you think she’s going to come back here to flog it? I know she’s repeatedly said she won’t return to the UK but I think they’re beginning to realise that things are going pear-shaped in La La Land.

I could never understand why Harry had never met Thomas Markle. How can you be engaged and your parents haven’t met the person you’re going to marry. Even where I live this wouldn’t happen and the whole thing would be treated with suspicion.

So was actually October 25 she raised her prices

Didn’t Meghan register ‘Lilibet's Closet’ nearly as soon as she was born? It’s clearly all part of the monetarising of the children.
Utterly sickening that anyone would use their children for £££££

If she was teaching how to levitate objects I'd be interested!

My point is her treatment of her DF isn’t a one off.

Meghan Markle is the common denominator as evidenced by a pattern of bullying, belittling and scorched-earth behaviours reported by numerous victims and witnesses in many settings across separate and independent, legally watertight, investigations and published by a range or credible industry publications.

How she had the gall to stand at the bedside of the young woman in Jordan who had her toes amputated pretending to be full of compassion….

Same here, CreamolaFoam

I realise that after Thomas's assorted stupidities some insist Meghan was quite right to cut him off, but those only came in the run up to the wedding and rushed as it was they could surely have met before things started to go downhill

Personally I'll always believe she couldn't risk introducing them before she had the ring in case dad blew a hole in any lies she'd told, but not knowing them it can only ever be a belief

That’s exactly what I thought @Puzzledandpissedoff , and also why no relatives or friends were invited to the wedding. Too big a risk of her being exposed for what she actually was.

Possibly not the point, but why is it called 'Heritage Library Set'? What's heritage about it? And how does it relate to libraries? I would've thought jam wouldn't be the ideal thing to eat in a library, I know I'd definitely get it on the books. Presumably she and her customers eat far more elegantly than I do!

She manifests. Maybe this is some manifesting thing.
