Charles needs to at least remove her title, he’s doing himself no favours allowing this shit show to continue.

But where are her outfits from Kris Jenners party and the Jamaican cinema? They were corkers!

It’s just so crass and undignified. Also….how does that work? There’s images of the kids used in the photo but it’s to sell her stuff. How is that ethical?

I hope she gets a lot of heat from the papers over this. It’s disgusting.

The RF won’t bloody do anything though. She can stoop this low and they will do nowt!

It’s also abusive. Because have these children and parents, vulnerable women….been asked to use their image for commercial purposes?

They agreed to photos, sure, when it was supposed to be a visit highlighting good causes! But that’s not what it’s for.

Allison Pearson of the Telegraph has already picked up on it.

I don't think Charles is being enough credit here. He has refused to see Harry whilst the security court case was in progress. His sources are briefing that Harry needs to stop leaking if he wants to see his father The late Queen wrote to RAVEC asking for security for Harry and kept allowing him to attend things. It was only William and Charles insisting that the Sandringham summit happened. Charles is non confrontationally keeping them at arms length until they behave in a more discreet way about family matters.

All true but their titles need to be removed without delay and they need to issue a clear statement that these fake ‘tours’ have nothing to do with the RF or Britain. They are damaging Britain’s credibility abroad and they are damaging the RF.

ShamedBySiri · 15/04/2026 07:35

I won’t click that link. Don’t give them clicks.
Maybe go for a few screenshots so everyone else can stay away?

I bet that suede outfit looks much better on the hanger or the model than Meghan. She won’t be making much money driving sales of that monstrosity!

Guest385 · 15/04/2026 07:46

Megs the influencer now in plain sight. This whole commercial tour is just merching their ties to the RF. no mention of any philanthropic giving at all that I have seen.

I hope the Charles removes their dukedom and takes them off the RF website. A statement would not go amiss either. Why do hospitals giving them access?

Indianrollerbird · 15/04/2026 07:49

It’s beyond disgusting. Hopefully this will be beyond the pale even for the press that have remained supportive. As for Charles: remove them and the links to their websites from the royal website. Do it today, otherwise you are complicit in this exploitation.

LazyCatLtd · 15/04/2026 07:49

I see Harry wore a sludge coloured shirt to the mental health event. The colour doesn’t suit him either.

Why is he wearing medals for the military part of the visit? He didn’t win any medals in conflict!! The whole thing is an absolute parody . It’s genuinely laughable. He’s talking about ‘coming back from work’ to hold Archie! What on earth is he talking about? Why are the Australians swallowing this drivel?

I don't see how they are damaging anyone except themselves. Removing the titles, making further statements will feed their victim narrative. Letting them get on with using sick children to flog clothes and make money is far more effective . They are showing the world who they are and what their values are, and people know the difference between them and working royals who are serving their country.

Do you at least agree they should be removed from the royal website, that provides links to Archewell?

jeffgoldblum · 15/04/2026 07:57

We know the optics are bad ! On the Aussie thread we have been subjected to two recent incidents!

Yes, I mentioned that on another thread. Remove everyone except working royals from the website.

My point isn't that I don't think their behaviour is exploitative, it clearly is. But I believe that when someone is making a mistake you should let them. I also think that we are near the point when most charities will realise that the publicity they bring isn't worth it.

As for political statements, neither of them have the status to make what they say any more important than what any minor celebrity with the politicial nouse of yeast says.

What I am finding fascinating is that no one is posting positives from the trip, at most we are being attacked for commenting on clothes. It means I'm increasingly of the belief that this series of visits may mark a watershed for them.

AtIusvue · 15/04/2026 08:09

Thing is, there’s never any consequences for them. They fail upwards.

Im sure they will get some heat for this but not enough to cancel them. This is the most despicable behaviour, utterly grim to use people like this.

But I’m at the point, that like Trump, doesn’t matter what they do, they will get away with their behaviour.

Omg!

She used the visit to the children’s hospital and women’s shelter…..to merch her outfits and announce her joining a new clothing AI platform.

Im sorry this is the most disgusting thing she has ever done!!! To use sick children and vulnerable women, as the backdrop for her fashion show!

Im honestly speechless about how crass and manipulative this is!

Well at least we all know how unroyal this tour really is.

People:

‘In a press release about Meghan joining OneOff — joining ranks with other fashion-forward celebs like Kate Hudson, Emma Roberts, Shay Mitchell, Suki Waterhouse, Hermès and more —the brand explained that the duchess was motivated to join the platform thanks to its global reach, which allows users to access information on styles worn for both public appearances and everyday life and makes sure the right designers are getting the proper credit.’

’The platform, which simplifies the shopping experience by providing personalized recommendations based on user preferences, allows Meghan to curate edits of her outfits, break down each piece and give users direct access to shop her wardrobe in real time — a feature already live with looks from the couple’s first stop at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital.
Her personal page is live now and gives fans a look at her latest Australia looks as well as past favorites from high-profile events and more casual snapshots from her home in Montecito, California.’

dear God who would want to follow her dress sense ..seriously! Abd yes she will use anyone and anything if it gives her a quick buck

Thedom · 15/04/2026 08:15

Harry felt ‘disconnected’ from his unborn child so needed therapy, 🙄🙄🙄. I wonder if it was because he was worried his mother in laws genes would be stronger than his Spencer ones.

I wouldn’t be surprised if even the kids are included in his therapy dependency, Harry seems to be unable to deal with anything without the reliance of a dodgy therapist.

How can they ? There really is nothing positive for them to post now , so attack, distract is the line of defence! 🤷‍♀️

No! Nor the Queen of Hertz dress either.

Omg! Have you heard this? Harry says “the tour is not the royal family, but is part of the royal family and the sooner that is in everybody's mids, the better it will be."

https://x.com/longsally/status/2044108470408876308?s=46

And this is precisely why I believe that Charles must issue a statement!!!

It’s amazing too, that in the early months of Archie’s birth, Harry said be sought therapy (he was stressed the poor scone) ………..because just a few short months before, his wife was suicidal and he had NO idea what to do and that she should seek MH care/therapy. He said he felt shame and then Meg the ended up asking HR for help.

The guy is an actual fuckwit.

I am rarely speechless ( ask DH) but words fail me . The arrogance . It’s as if he is daring KC to do something.
