When it is said that Meghan wanted to reveal the allegations 8 years ago but was apparently advised not to, what is meant by "reveal?"
Go straight to the media for a sensational story with no real proof at that time, in return for a hefty payout? Agree with the "not a good idea" advice.
Quietly speak to the relevant authorities to move an investigation along? Yeah, probably a good idea.
The press reports seem to be suggesting that the "keep schtum" advice was a bad thing but not necessarily. Depends on what it was she wanted to do with the information.

HAM seem to have no filters on what they speak out about - even Harry and William's genitalia is not off limits for them

Meghan could have spoken out at any time. She left the UK a few months later and promoted the whole "Freedom Flight" and "Finding her Voice" narrative.

I suspect that the "advice" - if it exists - may have come from the US Entertainment lawyers she retained throughout. If "speaking out" meant the plan was a big payday, "tell all" book/documentary it would be much more lucrative and less risk of being sued if they waited for dad to die. The problem was her brother beat her to the big reveal.

Nobody involved in this sorry mess appears at all concerned about the young girls possibly abused in the past 8 years or securing a conviction with the way they are leaking and selling of evidence to the press. The Markles as a group seem more interested in selling their narratives for money or sympathy!

Another damn busybody?

Why can't these people just stick to picking up takeaway coffee and carrying handbags? 😡

Not only that but us brits almost all have a local stately home / castle / National Trust / English Heritage gift shop to browse if we’re so inclined. And actual royal palace gift shops if we want something royal adjacent (sorry - not sorry for the a word). Whatever can as ever, ever do for us?

A UK branch would be odd - Meghan trying to sell British traditions, that she clearly doesn't understand, to the Brits!

I mean she tried to convince the US that this was a traditional English scone!

My opinion after much thought? ( and I’m aware this may be contradictory to others!) …I don’t think Meghan knew shit! , I think she thought this letter was bollocks and ignored it , her statement was purely triggered by jnr and wanting to kill several birds with one stone pr wise ….she has over reached, dropped herself in it and is furiously retrofitting evidence to suit her narrative!

I really hope HAM guide the hamlets away from grifter lifestyle and ensure they are educated and pursue careers completely away from the spotlight. Is this honestly what they want for them? Constant grifting, hustling, clapping back with the media etc ???

Why did they insist on Royal titles? Why is the girl called Princess Lilibet Diana? Why do they promote them on Instagram?
They want them to be in the public eye..

Thank You for the shiny new thread, Jeff. I have to say I have enjoyed the return of humour in these recent threads. Not that I’m suggesting there is anything amusing about CSA (before I get deliberately misquoted), but it’s hard to imagine how from a purely PR perspective, the allegations could possibly be handled in a worse way.

I also can’t believe they forgot Kevin.

As a huge Stephen king fan! ……I must quote ……sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold onto …..in reference to us? …..sometimes finding the humour in otherwise dark subjects is all we stalwarts have to keep continuing with this shit show!

Yes unfortunately it looks like they may be mini versions of their parents. A horrible thought

Yes - I have the impression that she probably implied to the Met that the ex and half-siblings were all nutters trying to sell stories about her.

But she is pissed that TMJ broke an exclusive and rushed to the Sun to clapback - only it backfired and now she is scrambling - as you say - to explain the various stories she has told.

This is her problem - her jams are cheap white label produced items that they slap an As Ever label on

Yet she is charging premium prices as though it is small batch or organic for basically Lidl value jam

Contrast with competing UK royal products (I checked prices in June 2026)

  • Meghan - As Ever strawberry spread, factory produced, for profit, sold online - £9 per 215g (very small jar) or £4.19 per 100g
  • Charles - Highgrove Organic Strawberry Jam organic, profits to charity, sold in gift shops, online, Fortnum's etc. £7.95 per 340g standard jar, or £2.34 per 100g
  • William - Waitrose Duchy Organic Strawberry Jam - company now owned by Waitrose but profits to charity, organic, £2.80 per 340g standard jar or 82p per 100g

And the luxury market is already saturated with lovely posh homemade jams sold at farmers markets from very small & local sellers many of whom also have Instagram & fb business pages who are willing to ship.
Also Fortum & Mason, Daylesford, Highgrove ..
I love the way she's in competition with King Charles!

As you pointed out her price point is completely out of kilter with the higher end of the jam market, she obviously didn't do her market research yet again!

There is no room for an arrogant American's "spread" , we do our own jam very well here thank you

It's a dreadful look but she'll bounce back. She has the hide of a rhino and I would bet it's HAM and at least one hamlet in that Hello spread

As was said on the other thread she has resilience in spades!

I would go farther…the reason the met ( who are fairly incompetent but not always..) are having trouble locating things is because there is not much if anything to locate!!! But for reasons that only they know they don’t want to come right out and say it!

Yep Tommy J dropped the 💣 first, Meghan must be fuming. Perhaps TJ should get his book out before her also..

Yes - she chose basic jam in basic flavours

I love buying jams from my local jam seller who does interesting flavours - pear & ginger, raspberry, chocolate & chilli, or my favourite, raspberry, rhubarb & eau de vie.

Always said that & poor Archie is just plain Archie Harrison not a clue of his extraordinary royal lineage in his name unless Archie was a Markle family name..

The shock when his name was announced the royal commentators & bookies were sure he was going to be called Arthur or Alexander...

Why would the FBI be interviewing Meghan?

I’m not a detective, don’t work for the FBI, etc. so I’m obviously only guessing. I’d see it along the lines of:

They have stated they’re now looking into “things” (obviously covering arses as seemingly ignored the July tip-off from TM Jr)
M apparently received a copy of a letter which may, or may not, have relevance re the accused
Timeline of accusations could (or could not) have relevance
Any investigation should cover numerous aspects, via numerous people/players - covering all bases

So I don’t think it’s beyond the realms of possibility that they’d want to interview her. Not because that’s an immediate assumption that she’s guilty of anything. But because that’s what a thorough investigation should do - build up a complete picture of significant people to try to establish a bigger picture understanding of what the situation is.

M, herself, stated in the press that she’s “known” since 2018 (or 2019!). And supposedly told her father, in writing, she “knew” in 2025. Therefore, surely, if the FBI is conducting a full investigation into TM then they’re going to have questions for people that, supposedly, knew about stuff before this whole thing broke in the press. They’d be remiss NOT to want to ask questions of her.
