Re the shit new stuff being pedalled on asever.
Who is the target market?
I can’t see many men perusing the site so that knocks out 49%.
That leaves women. Well, the majority of Americans are not keen on her if we look at polls, ratings, newspaper/magazine articles from the USA.
I think a lot of black women like her purely because her mum is black. If Meghan was white they wouldn’t care a jot for her. We saw the SS members at Nottingham with the ‘whip round’ flowers.
Do we really see them spending £68 on a cup & saucer?
I only drink out of china (thanks grandma for that) and I’m happy to pay for nice china but I wouldn’t pay £68 for a cup & saucer from asever.

We know they are not popular here (look at the comments on newspapers!) so who is their target market? The last ‘yougov’ poll had Meghan just above AMW at about 15% - so 15% of people like her. When you shake down the demographics that are willing to pay for sloppy jam and the rest of the stuff being sold it’s such a niche market.
And niche markets unless it’s high end stuff does not make money.

Imreally just don’t understand who would buy anything from this brand.

Until more is proven I think on TM

  1. M knew nothing about it and so her treatment of her father has be seen in that light.
  2. M did know about it , or similar , in which case why for crying out loud did she do nothing about it ? I don't think she can have it both ways. To be involved in charities involving children and have not called that out would be beyond egregious. However , let's be fair , she may very well not have known about this.

Whichever way I do feel for her on this , but I think if anything this cannot be made into a Sussex "here's why we weren't in touch with TM spin thing." It's true or it isn't . They knew or they didn't.

Still not good enough. You don't "suspect" someone downloads child abuse images but I don't want to believe that an adult would cover up something so horrible

Breaking news on New York Post (regurgitating the Sun article).

I don't know but in which case given your connections and influence , do something .
(Sorry I'm actually agreeing with you , for avoidance of doubt this is not a post against you 💐)

What would arouse your suspicions though? It’s pretty cut and dried if someone has images of child rape, there is no grey area.

Great post from the last thread.
I think you have nailed it @ImaPrinceImaPrincebutmyBrotherWontAdmitIt

I read a while ago while they were still in Adelaide cottage that William had finally succumbed to pressure and had employed a valet to keep his clothes/uniforms in good order & to ensure his uniforms were always 100% correct.
I did wonder where the clothes would be stored as just William’s uniforms must take up a huge ammount of cupboard space, never mind Catherine’s 15 years of coats, dresses, skirts, trousers, evening gowns, shoes, boots, handbags and hats, She must have 100 hats.
So Frogmore house makes perfect sense.
It’s too ‘fragile’ to be lived in apparently but could quite easily be a place where staff look after the ‘workimg clothes’ of W &C and where they go to get ready- for the hairdresser to meet there etc which keeps their home utterly private,
It makes absolute perfect sense.
It’s in the security ring, could have staff on site 24 hrs, close to them in Forrest lodge.
Im sure you are bang on right, @ImaPrinceImaPrincebutmyBrotherWontAdmitIt
And if we are right then I think it’s fabulous and I’m so pleased the building is being used for something even if it’s just a huge wardrobe!

If HAM come out and say that they did know in 2018 and that's why they cut ties. That's it for them. It has to be

Have to feel for Archie and Lily going to school tomorrow with this headline. Hopefully they’ll keep them home.

I am not commenting at this time…it’s too soon…too convenient….too confusing.

From Dan Wootton on X

”This is a horrifying exclusive from The Sun tonight and obviously potentially very significant.
However, there are two sides to all stories and I believe the other side is worth reporting because The Sun hasn't included it.
I have spoken to sources close to Thomas Markle in the past hour who have said he has not been in possession of any of the material referred to in The Sun's story for a "couple of years" and they believe it may have been tampered with by a bad actor.
They claim that Thomas Markle Jr wanted revenge after the "money tap was turned off" given he is alleged to have spent money raised by a Go Fund Me for his father set up by Lady Colin Campbell.
The Markle source also points out that Meghan was always very positive about her father until the wedding incident.
If she is claiming she was aware of something as she appears to be in The Sun, then why did she not report it?
The family source said: "She bragged about him in the UN speech. She always bragged about him until she needed a convenient excuse for not inviting him to the wedding to hide her own lies."
The Markle family do not intend to appear on camera to refute the allegations at this stage as Thomas remains focussed on his rehabilitation in Florida.”

So TM has been in possession of this stuff for a couple of years and that is supposed to make it alright, is it?

Mondommountain · 22/10/2026 23:45

I hope she did not know or suspect as far back as 2018, either way it’s equally horrific that her immediate response is to use it to try to vindicate herself.

Starryfifty · 22/10/2026 23:46

I thought Thomas senior was back in the US?

Samantha saying he's framed by Thomas jnr

Christ, I thought my family were dysfunctional
