I never realised Meg and Gloria were friends??

Yes, I saw them pictured together - I can't remember what event. Gloria gave Meghan a bracelet, which she wore, with the words "linked, not ranked".

Gloria was doing paid meet and greets for years - a close friend of mine went on one very recently. She was accessible to anyone and the grooming MM made the most of it to elevate herself.

Oh yeah. ‘This woman loves me so much. And has loved me for 45 of her 70 years. So most of her existence has been worth living. As we celebrate apart let us acknowledge our invisible bonds - that golden thread that represents my sacrifice on the world stage.’

Well, not all 45 years. A huge chunk of that, Doria was absent

And thanks to the glorious Mama Doria for providing the ceiling breaking role model of, as a mother, leaving your young kids to pursue your own dreams and ambitions without a backward glance.

I’m guessing Meghan’s looking for a free private jet to get her back to the States as Gloria Steinem has passed away

Shes managed to get her PR into Elle already about their close relationship and posted a photo with Archie (face covered)

Edited

She probably wrote it years ago and had it on file like they do with obituaries - so she was first past the post. Those sharp elbows - always grifting always grasping.

She wanted Kamala's senate seat

I am sure she will be looking to take over Gavin Newsom’s seat - maybe that’s what she will be doing from her international bases.

"Backlash" what backlash 2 days after they announce their return and an alleged acting opportunity? The UK was on summer holidays, not many would have picked this "story" up, let alone cared one way or another.

Is she really going to debase herself by claiming a huge public backlash against her being offered a film role, even for money?
Doesn’t sound like her…

BunnyBunbunbun · 03/09/2026 16:27

I can imagine a small cameo role for Meg in The Gentlemen, perhaps as a duchess. Doubt she'd have a regular role.

I think you have to have a lot of energy, resilience and determination to go into politics, though. Is it really for her?

Can titled royalty allowed become a US governor? She'd have to give up her title, surely?

That's a very good question. It would seem to go against everything the USA's Founding Fathers stood for?
The whole thing is very unlikely anyway

And cash sponsors. Doubt her fragile ego would last a minute but her delusional and grandiose drives might drag her there.

You have to please those sponsors, don't you? Any interviews would be a far cry from Oprah. She'd have to answer proper questioning.

*is titled royalty allowed

AustenitesUnite · 03/09/2026 16:50

Surely she doesn't have sufficient experience? (real, not imagined . . . )

Starryfifty · 03/09/2026 17:05

What a ridiculous headline and why include Archie?

I’ve been watching The Gentlemen and I think a show where people regularly have their heads blown off probably isn’t a great spot for her to do a cameo.

Therefore, she will if they offer it.

Oh FFS. It is ridiculous. So of course she would do this.

She had a small cameo in another film but nothing further has been said so it maybe ended up on the cutting room floor .

It is ridiculous. Also about Archie, what's the point of including a picture of him with his face obscured? It can't have been long after the Christmas Card where he was front and centre?

bluegreygreen · 03/09/2026 17:21

Speaking to People, just weeks before the Duke and Duchess's $100 million Netflix docuseries landed, Gloria said of Meghan: 'I'm not an expert on the media, but it seems to me that she is different from the picture of her in the media.
'She's smart and funny and devoted to social issues.'

I wonder if she continued to think that?

Exactly. They’ve shared enough photos of their faces so it’s a joke…

Anything for attention. She doesn’t command enough herself apparently so will deploy the children.

OliveMyLove · 03/09/2026 17:23

And just as he’s starting in a new school. Unconscionable.

Starryfifty · 03/09/2026 17:26

Maybe Archie is a feminist like his father? Didn't Meg spew something a few years ago about H and feminism?
