There was speculation that she might have been Meghan’s PR woman Meredith Maines as there was a certain optimism to her takes and she seemed to stop posting around the time that they parted company 👀😂

Late 50s, Oxford educated, recovering addict. Unless she lied about all these things, she’s not Meredith.

That was my thought at the time, too. I really did think she was Meredith Maines.

Someone on Reddit pointed out that Harry has probably now pissed off Mossad in addition to the Taliban, Trump supporters, etc. I'm waiting for him to piss off Italy by disagreeing with Reggio Emilia childrearing methods.

I think Harry has decided (or is being egged on at home) to start acting as if he is a working royal and see how far he can get.

Exactly this

I think she was an asset to the board and I miss her posts.

I agree. She also owned her own business and was hoping to sell it so she could retire and live out the rest of her life looking after geriatric dogs.

Of course there’s a chance it was all made up but I can’t believe anyone would claim to be an ex addict as part of a cover story in order to post on MN. It’s just too silly.

I initially thought she might be Lauren the insider but she doesn’t fit that description.

Eagerly awaiting his preachings in the next Times Educational Supplement……

I suppose commentators need content, but I’m surprised if anyone with a brain in their head thinks project thaw is anything anyone in the RF has even heard of, never mind engaged with. It is so obviously not a project at all.

As for the spectator article, I assume - as it is politically on brand for them - that it was written by a spectator staffer. Tantrums, as any parent knows, are best ignored.

I do hope you are not implying that regular posters such as @BigWillyLittleTodger are brainless!!!! 😬

Jesus, she's so unpredictable. A summit on digital harm no less

To say I’m disgusted and surprised would be a honest statement!

Apart from being a recovering addict, no she doesn’t. But she did pop up very suddenly on YouTube around the same time as GMS’s disappearance, so not surprising you made that connection.

jeffgoldblum · 15/05/2026 23:20

Grey rocking is no longer working! As I predicted ages ago, the behaviour is ramping up , eventually it will become intolerable.

Yes it was at the same time, when she appeared on YouTube I really did think it was her, I remember saying as much on a previous thread.

At least I’m not an empty vessel eh Jeff! 😂

Swizzled · 15/05/2026 23:28

I wonder if MM expresses her frustration at these charity events - ‘I can’t believe I’m not getting paid for this’ …. she must be really wound up that she has so little commercial revenue stream and she has to keep doing these costly humanitarian gigs - the aim was for them to generate commercial opportunities by raising her profile but that doesn’t seem to be following through.

I wonder if she will be merching the shirt on her back at this memorial?

Never @BigWillyLittleTodger! And although new faces are welcome and always a great addition , insulting those who have battled their way through and still have an opinion based on experience is not a very good look!

Yes I did give the proverbial side eye to that comment.

seriously?
On Friday, May 15, it was announced that the Duchess of Sussex, 44, will travel to Switzerland this weekend. On Sunday, May 17, she will join World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (who she previously joined on a trip to Jordan with Prince Harry earlier this year), global health leaders, and families affected by online harm at the inauguration of the Lost Screen Memorial in Geneva’s Place des Nations, ahead of the opening of the 79th World Health Assembly.

The event, hosted by the World Health Organization and Archewell Philanthropies, will see the illumination of 50 lightboxes, each displaying the lock screen image of a child who lost their life as a result of online violence and digital harm. At the ceremony, Meghan will pay tribute to the children remembered in the installation and underscore the urgent need for stronger global protections for children online.

BemusedAmerican · 15/05/2026 23:49

Harry's great gift in life is every time he opens his mouth, he offends a completely new group of people.

That is why Project Thaw is hopeless.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 15/05/2026 23:50

No one of importance takes any notice of them Jeff, nothing to see here……

I disagree.

The grey rocking is resulting in the narc pair scrambling to provoke a reaction from the RF, and everything they've done lately has fallen flat or misfired.

I agree that the behaviour is ramping up, but the effect is that the narc pair are being taken less and less seriously.

With respect I disagree on this occasion, their collective behaviour is becoming worse and more inflammatory by the day , depending on dictators and other political leaders to turn a blind eye is not an acceptable response anymore.

So these are the same children that were used originally? It seems a bit "off " to me to be taking them to a foreign location almost as advertisements. I can see why grief stricken parents were originally swept up in the first time with this. Are they all happy with this happening again? Did they give consent originally which has now made this possible? Do they want this revisiting again after this time? I'm suspicious that Meghan has got herself onboard here with this guy and has been able to tout this as something she can bring to the party. It smacks of as " unsavoury" to me but why should I be surprised ? She is always doing unsavoury things especially when it paints her in her philanthropic role.

I would say we're seeing overkill by these two currently - there's a frenzy of activity which adds to the feeling that they will do anything for a buck or some publicity. Accordingly the attention to them fades quickly and they are looking ridiculous. You contrast them with the REAL people who do the real work like Melloney Poole. They are scrambling to be relevant . I think time is tick tocking in their heads now.

I think they live day by day. They are not strategic at all. It's all about being relevant. Their worst nightmare is irrelevance. The best thing these two would be to disappear, even for a year. Re-group, re-evaluate but no
