Meghan and Harry the grift that keeps on grifting. Long may they continue. Better than any soap opera on the telly.

As i mentioned up thread, that looks like a heart attack inducing quality of matcha. I assume she’s not using the good stuff but something padded out to be using that much. And yes, drinking half a jar of jam is one way of getting rid of it quickly.

She’s fucking bonkers. Nobody with tastebuds wants to drink that disgusting concoction. I enjoy matcha lattes, and this is simply not something anyone outside a MM fever dream would enjoy.

It reminds me of making concoctions when I was a small child. It’s really that level.

I've never had matcha - is it supposed to look like green poster paint?

You beat me to it, Namethhenames

As with the silly fruit rainbows and much else, it looks exactly like the sort of thing a kid would produce when left with random ingredients ... cue "Oh darling that's lovely" while trying not to make a WTF face

That's hilariously awful. And, yes, this is a company she invested in a while back.

Love the Shrek comment! 😂

She's taking the pictures herself, isn't she? Or maybe Archie with the Leica?

Still photos of food sounds kind of easy, but it's actually something photographers train and specialise in. That photo looks like it was taken with a phone. It's jumbled, there's no real focus and what is that spoon lying across an otherwise empty lower corner? Even my untrained eye can see all this!

To my eyes it's the handle of the jug at the left - that's not right 😂😂😂

I don’t understand matcha. Is it nice? I assume it’s very bitter. It’s meant to be good for you?

It’s earthy more than bitter. If you drink it with hot water alone, it isn’t that pleasant, but that’s the traditional Japanese way of consuming it. I drink it with soya milk. The kids having their lattes will probably be drinking the cheap stuff that is cut with other tea products, sugar and flavourings. The one that’s good for you is pure and called ceremonial grade - full of anti-oxidants. This is what mine looks like - this is about twice the quality I would use for a latte as it’s super caffeinated, although it doesn’t give you energy spikes the way coffee does.

Yep. There’s a girl guide badge for inventing mocktails and forcing your parents to taste them. It looks like that!

I have 20 odd yr old nieces who drink bubble tea, apparently it is very popular. I tried it. Once. 😉No idea about matcha - I'm an Earl Grey woman myself - but half a cup of anything on top of a runny spread doesn't sound great. Is it meant to be a pudding?
This made me giggle from the AOL link someone posted upthread "They further claimed that the "vast majority of the male population has zero interest in her slop," reports the Express."

DaisyDooley · 16/06/2026 19:13

Why on earth would anybody put loose fruit spread in a drink?
My husband went to a famous public school (annual fees currently £50k! Gulp) where breakfast sausages were eaten with marmalade (sounds dreadful but it does go. )
I wonder if at Eton they serve sausage with jam?? I suspect that’s what H has to eat. - I almost feel sorry for Harry & the kids having to eat fruit spread and flower sprinkles at every meal.
It reminds me of ‘Elf’ putting maple syrup on everything.

Meghan- “How many food groups are there kids?”
A& L - “ Three mommy”
Meg - “And what are they”
A&L - “Fruit spread, More fruit spread and flower sprinkles mommy “
Meg - “That’s right! Now , who’s thirsty? Here’s your cup of strawberry spread Arch and here’s your raspberry Lil”……

Currently in hospital with my 2 year old and this is keeping me highly entertained - what is she thinking - ever new post is crazy!

So Meghan's latest thing is a collaboration with Clevr coffee (isn't she already involved with them?) for a summer "Matcha strawberry latte" which involves layering the almost out of date strawberry spread, with Clevr matcha latte - not to forget flower sprinkles!

.... it looks really gross

I don't know where to begin with this. I'm beginning to think she's seriously losing it

I think H&M lost it some time ago. But they are important global royal important people in their own heads ( Did I mention important? 😂)

So Harry - Africa Parks? Any comment / update ?

Mylovelygreendress · 16/06/2026 21:53

Who drinks jam ???
Could a Sussex supporter please explain this to me ?

Starryfifty · 16/06/2026 21:53

How long before we see Lili and A with jellycats ??

Even the idea of drinkable jam is vile and I love jam

What’s sad to me is clearly she is only marketing to her loyal fans now, no new customer base is going to appear. I can guess a lot of them can’t really afford to buy overpriced shit quality spread too and she doesn’t care. I’ll be glad when she shifts the backlog of the stuff, I assume she won’t produce more.

I wonder if they have any grand plan beyond making money and being adored/famous for not much. It’s an odd life. They talk about service but I don’t think they care about it that much. I think charity associations are to raise their profile only.

StartupRepair · 16/06/2026 22:10

This is basically stirring about 10 teaspoons of sugar into a drink. In what universe would aspiring Americans (if this is her market) want to do that?

Namethenames · 16/06/2026 22:21

I really think that either she’s just trying to subvert the RF all the time by throwing anything however ridiculous and stupid into the public arena, or she has mental health problems. She just wants all the attention on her whatever the cost, and she wants to embarrass the RF.

It's odd that she's trying to sell a laid back SoCal lifestyle, given that sugar and carbs are practically illegal in LA! None of the women in the social circles she aspires to would let that sugary crap in her home, let alone past her lips!

I think at this stage, it's do absolutely anything to stay in the public eye.

It gets worse.
Seriously, there is a massive problem here.

I'd say there's no grand plan. They are going to push royal adjacency through Ingriftus. If they can get KC to show up with them in Birmingham, it'll be a win for them (IMO)
