Meghan Markle's lifestyle career -- sad last days? Pt. 2, -- the count down

Please link part 1, amateur OP dipshit.

Why are me so stupit?

I was going to link it, but the impatient r1 couldn't wait more than three minutes, so I won't. See how it only takes one fuckface to ruin it for everyone? Now, he'll have to learn how to do it on all on his own. Dismissed.

Here’s part 1

^ There’s always an enabler.

For the person in the last thread who wanted to see the awkward USO show video:

Oof that was awkward. They couldn’t get away far enough away from her.

Thanks for posting r6

It was also posted in the OP, R7.

Apparently, practice doesn't make perfect.

[QUOTE]according to the Mail's Richard Eden, Meghan's application to register As Ever's name was sent back to her because there were allegedly a "string of errors, including one which she had made several times before, which she failed to sign the application". "You just think 'wow this is starting to get a bit weird'.

The second link should work

Whoa, she had to go there and slap the family by using the Windsor name to shill someone else's dress! The model even resembles her! Oh, the narcissism is OFF THE CHARTS! Her narcissistic wound will never heal and she'll never stop striking back. She's just like Trump.

Yes, thousands of Meghan Sussex fans have £600 to plunk down *right now* so they swarmed NM's website to buy her shoes! IOW, NM has a really shitty IT department.

[QUOTE]Shortly after the storefront went live today, some of the third-party websites - including of Neiman Marcus - went down as the Duchess' fans rushed to get their hands on a pair of tan-coloured Saint Laurent mules that she has been spotted in on several occasions.

That dress is perfect for her–it has starter wrinkles as part of the skirt's pattern.

Well good for her trying to make an honest buck on affiliate links. Whatever. It's more on brand than philanthropist or trad wife hostess hawking janky jam and shortbread mix. Is Real Wives of Montecito next?

It’s been said many times already but I’ll say it again. For someone who found the British monarchy mean and racist, she’s sure willing to milk that connection.

Didn't she say she didn't want to serve her children up on a platter?

Now she does when she can make money.

About Archie in the preview photo at r17, isn't it unusual for a 6 year old to be so clingy with his mother? He's got his arms wrapped tight around her leg. It seems odd to me, but I really dont know much about child development. Insecurity? I don't remember doing that with either parent.

He's got his hands almost up her nether regions. What a strange photo to choose

Love it.

[QUOTE]Dr Chandauka added that 'for me, this is not a vanity project from which I can resign when I am called to account'. She said: 'I am an African who has had the privilege of a world class education and career. I will not be intimidated. I must stand for something.'

Lightweight!

Sophie Tendai Chandauka MBE, born 1978[1], is a Zimbabwean corporate finance lawyer, entrepreneur and Head of Americas Risk Management and Intelligence at Meta. Previously, Chandauka was Global COO of Shared Services and Banking Operations at Morgan Stanley based in New York and prior to this, she was CAO of the Legal and Compliance Division of Morgan Stanley in EMEA, based in London. Before joining Morgan Stanley, she was the Head of Group Treasury (Legal) at Virgin Money in London. She began her career as a corporate finance lawyer and Senior Associate at Baker McKenzie in London.[citation needed]

Why does she keep this title if the BRF were so abhorrent. Why is she advertising a country she disowned. Grubby, tacky.

The using of her children faceless is getting creepy.

Those children look like they have Rickets the way she has them in photos

Netflix already gives up on As Ever on the day of its launch.

Also The Telegraph is reporting that the launch only featured a very limited amount of stock to help it appear it is a mega success selling out quickly.

^ thoughts & prayers Meghan!

The public will never be invested in her children. Yes there will be interest when she finally reveals their faces but that will dissipate quickly. The public has no affection for her children as they didn't watch them grow up. That's why the Royals do the photo on the hospital steps after birth and periodic and annual photos after that. It gains the public's affection.

Photos of Charles and Anne as children, Andrew and Edward too. Anne's children, William, Harry and the York girls over the years as kids. Warm and fuzzy feelings from the public. She blew it not allowing the public to become invested in her children in a positive way.

R28, I don't think she has missed that chance yet. As long as there is interest in The Royal Family there will be room in the public eye and the tabloids for the Sussex kids. Imagine the curiosity when that veil is finally lifted.

With parents like that I could see those kids being another Redmond and Tatum O’Neal

That’s the Duchess 👸🏼 Of Success, to you, Mindy Commoner

Honestly, can this bitch do nothing right?

Oh look 'H', we sold out immediately!!!!

Megan, hon, we did that the day I married you.

Meghan shared footage of her 'fruit spread' being made. A Netflix source claims that staff were asked to sign NDAs to ensure the location of the factory remains secret

The footage showing it was mass-produced was a big mistake. Obviously it was a white label manufacturer, no one thinks she’s canning this stuff in her own kitchen, but she’s aiming for the artisanal market, just higher quantities than can be sold at a farmers market. So seeing that it’s made like any other jam at the grocery store but sells at 3x the price is a dumb move.

The factory location NDA is overreach. There are dozens of these factories around the US.

New York Magazine is "meh" on As Ever.

As Ever

by

Smuckers

She ripped off King Charles’ company idea. Except he donates profits to charity.

“But Charles is not actually on the road to biscuit billionaire-hood. All profits from the company are donated to charity, as is customary for royal businesses, according to the Prince of Wales’s website.

The brand says it has contributed over 30 million British pounds to the Prince of Wales’s Charitable Foundation since it partnered with Waitrose in 2009. (It’s not clear what this means for Charles’s taxes; crown bodies such as the Duchy of Cornwall generally do not pay taxes, but the royal family volunteered to start paying income tax a few decades ago.)

Now, after 30 years of operation, the King’s ascension to the throne means that he no longer holds the title of Duchy of Cornwall. That was passed to his son, William, who ostensibly may oversee the next phase of the Waitrose Duchy Originals company.”

The DM reviews her "spread," not a jam or preserve. Actually, according to the reviewers, it's more of a sauce than anything else.

On Saturday morning, we unboxed Meghan's seemingly covetable raspberry spread, which arrived in a small box from FedEx.

Upon opening, we found a 'handwritten' note from Meghan herself right on top, printed on a thick postcard with her As Ever branding stamped in gold foil.

When you flip the card around, there's a message printed in Meghan's signature calligraphy that reads, 'Enjoy - Meghan.'

A bit ominous there, Megs.

After reading the note, we continued wading through the packaging to find the jam, which was padded in packing peanuts and wrapped in creamy beige paper, before we finally got to the pièce de résistance.

Because we'd splurged for the keepsake packaging, as the Duchess gave customers no other choice during her initial launch, it meant that the 7.6oz jar came in a tan, cylinder-shaped package, embossed with the As Ever logo on its front.

The over-the-top packaging, which would be hard to reuse due to its jam-shaped hole, reminded us more of a luxury candle than a condiment we'd throw in the fridge after opening.

Once we'd finally reached the spread, what immediately struck us about the container was its minuscule size - it's small, containing just 215 grams of spread for $14, or $9 without the keepsake packaging.

Immediately upon opening the jar, we were taken aback by its texture. The spread was very liquid and quite thin - a bit 'loose,' if you will. If we hadn't known better, we'd have thought it melted during its expedited journey to us.

That being said, it is described by the brand as including a hint of lemon and a 'fluid texture'.

[Italic]Typically, a jar of jam is thicker and sticks together, whereas when we stuck our spoon into Meghan's raspberry spread, its consistency dripped off the silverware like a sauce. It was unappealing to say the least.[/italic]

As for the taste, it's extremely sweet - and we mean really sweet. It is reminiscent of a sugary, raspberry dessert sauce rather than a jam or spread that's meant to be eaten on a piece of toast.

The flavor was also surprisingly strong, which meant we could taste the sour lemon in the spread, which Meghan had promised in the product's description.

After trying it by the spoonful, which left us grimacing from the sweetness, we spread some on a toasted piece of sourdough, which is where things began to take a turn for the worse.

It was difficult to eat the spread with the toast, as it was so thin that it dribbled everywhere and made a mess. Our once nicely toasted piece of bread became a sopping wet disaster after just a few minutes.

The spread is so sweet that it masked the flavors from the sourdough, with only the sugar from the fruit and tang of the lemon coming through.

Drizzled over vanilla ice cream, a piece of pie, or a big stack of pancakes, the spread may work, and may even shine. But on its own, or eaten as one would expect to be able to enjoy jam, the product crumbled, or rather dripped, under the pressure.

Same ingredients as Bonne Maman jelly. Fruit, sugar, lemon concentrate and pectin, except Bonne Maman uses both white and brown sugar.

[quote]there were allegedly a "string of errors, including one which she had made several times before, which she failed to sign the application".

Is she letting Harry fill them out?

That's pretty bad, r32, but I don't think it's bad enough to shake the Sussex Squad's fait.

thank you r39, that review was annihilation!

^ Sussex Squad's faith at r42.

I'm surprised to hear it's so sweet--wasn't the whole point of it being a spread was that she wanted it to be less sweet than jam?

In any case, these products are for dopes who aspire to MM's lifestyle via low-quality, boring products in faux upscale packaging.

Meghan Markle has a HUGE anus.

Yes, I thought the whole point of a “spread” is that it is more fruit and less sugar. Maybe she needed to call it “sauce” because it is better on ice cream and pancakes and Americans eat a lot of that. Or mix with plain yogurt. That could be a new selling point: jars of sauces to mix with plain yogurt so you can have a different one every day and not buy in small individual plastic containers.

Is there anything these two clowns can get right? Other than whine, of course.

Meghan says the jam is “presented in keepsake packaging that you can repurpose to tuck away love notes or special treasures, and to remember this pivotal moment with me. Think of it as our time capsule,”

I read that shit she wrote about the package and thought she's outright trolling everyone at this point. She can't really think people will respond to that garbage?

[quote]She can't really think people will respond to that garbage?

Her fans are *really* into her.

Anyone have a link to the keepsake packaging?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

A minor TV actress with 845K followers? Nah.

[QUOTE]Meghan's former Suits co-star and close friend Abigail Spencer also raved about As Ever products to her 845 thousand followers

I didn't realize how heavily Mindy Kaling trolled Meghan. Not only the "most glamorous moment of my life" hyperbole, but then bringing up whether the numbering on the jars is a ranking (she was #50).

Everyone thought Goop was trolling Meghan until she did the video with her.

My opinion of the Goop thing is that G did the video with Meghan to shut down rumors of G being a mean girl. Particularly because G had just given an interview to Vanity Fair talking about supporting other women, there's room for everyone, etc. The G and MM video was of benefit to G only. She will likely ghost Markle from now on. It had nothing to do with G supporting MM and everything to do with making sure G's Vanity Fair article didn't get debunked.

Is her jam (spread) made by children in a foreign country? Tarrifs!

Boring, As Ever.

Pretentious, AS Ever

Entitled, As Ever

Thanks r53. It is underwhelming.

You'd think someone would sit her down, hold her hand and say "Meghan, look, you're never going to be liked. You're too much of a cunt who ruins everything she goes near".

[quote] Meghan, look, you're never going to be liked

No matter what...

She's allegedly a 5 star cook with her own cooking show yet she can't create or follow a proper jam recipe. The only reason she even knows how to cook is because she was fucking a chef behind her first husband's back. Because her parents couldn't cook and the whole cooking with her grandma and making apple butter was a fucking lie to make her look like a saint.

[quote]Not only the "most glamorous moment of my life" hyperbole, but then bringing up whether the numbering on the jars is a ranking (she was #50).

I wonder if Meghan knows what "hierarchical" means.

"Dear friend, My goodness, what a whirlwind this week has been! Thank you so much for the support. It really means so much to me," began a note from Meghan, 43, in the same email.

"I was so sorry to hear about what happened with your order, and that due to overselling we are not able to get you the Limited-Edition Honey. Please know the team worked very hard in every department and felt just as sad when we learned what had happened," she said.

"I know it's not the same limited-edition item you had your heart set on (I would feel the same!) so I would also like to promise you something else: When our next limited-edition drop happens, you won't just be the first to know...you'll be the first to receive it. No need to order, it will come to you in the mail as a gift from me," the Duchess of Sussex said.

You can go to a local green market or Whole Foods and find 20 different varieties of honey

She’s mining info and selling it. Her storefront is just a ruse

^ {Gasp}, I agree...

"I know it's not the same limited-edition item you had your heart set on (I would feel the same!) so I would also like to promise you something else: When our next limited-edition drop happens, you won't just be the first to know...you'll be the first to receive it. No need to order, it will come to you in the mail as a gift from me," the Duchess of Sussex said.

She's clearly trying to get ahead of the horrible reputation and bad reviews for the data mining company she contracts for the sale and distribution of her "products." (It's described at r32). "I'll give you a 'free gift,' so please don't turn on me and complain while I make money off you by selling your privacy so I can maintain my Montecito lifestyle."

Is the free, and no doubt inferior, limited edition item in lieu of a refund?

Oh I’m sure that she pocketed the money for the non-delivered product.

I imagine the Sussex Squadies and other such acolytes don't have enough real income, credit cards, investments, or property earnings to be concerned about financial appropriation by anyone, least of all Meghan.

They probably have a simple debit card, a simple debit card with usual purchases at retailers prompted by their idiot heroines.

All the "signature" packaging in the world can't hide that this entire enterprise is slipshod, low-brow and scammy. It's so bizarre that she traded royal life to be an affiliate marketer who peddles cut-rate products.

No other reputable retailer would do anything but issue an immediate refund if the product was purchased but then not available. Actually no other reputable retailer would allow a non-available product to be purchased in the first place. I hope someone does an exposé on this scammy company. Usually MM's scams aren't quite as easy to detect (charity skimming, etc) but this is super, super obvious.

Megzs new podcast is out today, and as expect, the reviews are terrible.

When you lose the favor of the Guardian, you're truly well over and done. Stick a fork in her.

Oof!

[quote]Maybe this really is Meghan’s natural speaking style, but it’s one that to British ears sounds just a tad disingenuous.

Can anyone explain the vein bisecting her forehead?

It’s called Dave.

Botox

R79 Laser ablation can fix that.

[Quote]Can anyone explain the vein bisecting her forehead?

It's her LoveLaughLife line.

Meghan is acutely aware of the tariff situation and the economic stress and worry it poses to the common people. But she believes she's agent of love and light during our trying times -- to those who will spend $14 for barely 8 ounces of jam.

[QUOTE]“At the moment, all of our products are currently made in the U.S., so we don’t anticipate tariffs affecting us directly,” the mother of two told the outlet. “But as we look at the larger context of how this is going to affect the consumer day-to-day, I’m very grateful that in part of the conception of this brand, [italic]I I wanted to create products that look more prestige [bold]but are more accessible and affordable.”[/bold][/italic]

[QUOTE]“I think during any time of recession, [bold]people still want to find creature comforts, items that can bring them joy,” [/bold] the former American actress added.

psychotic

Let them eat flower petals on salmon cakes.

Meghan Markle has a HUGE anus.

R79 I have a friend with the same thing - he calls it “Beryl” - and his MD puts it down to excessive crystal meth use. My friend concurs as it only appeared once he seriously got on the pipe.

Just leaving that here…

R88, Angelina Jolie has one too...

I'm telling you Botox:

The Daily Mail are relentless in savaging the dodgy duo

Her penmanship is fucking annoying.

R93 Not Just the Daily Mail. Even The Guardian, which has generally been a huge supporter of them, has turned. I do think the whole Sentebale thing is opening the flood gates. People are talking more and the press is finally getting the public mood has definitely shifted on the whole H&M saga.

A four-car procession to see a Broadway play (“Gypsy”) last night. She wore an ill-advised ankle-length, straight houndstooth skirt which emphasized her short torso.

Jan Moir at the DM is vicious, but you can't argue with this:

"During her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast, Meghan volunteered that she had suffered from postpartum preeclampsia after the birth of one of her children. She didn't say which one because that is like, you know, super-duper majorly private. Either that, or it is a precious, unpinned grenade of personal information to be publicly deployed at some point for maximum clicks or spends or sympathy votes."

Or this: " ... what a terrible and frightening ordeal for a mother to endure, especially when – as Meghan breathlessly told her podcast guest – 'nobody outside knew what was going on'. "

Botched nose job (banana nose), veneers, double corner lip lift, fillers, makeup spackled on and absolutely no figure or tits. Flat and shapely as a board.

Her flower petals seem to be bunny treats.

I though AssEver was a brilliant brand name.

So transparent.

I would have gone with “As if?!” especially if pronounced in her basic LA accent.

If these threads weren’t so skincrawlingly revolting, they would be kind of poignant

You are too generous r102.

They're poignant when one remembers the good will that Harry and Meghan had when they were first married, and the subsequent unraveling of those good intentions. We thought we knew Harry, while Meghan was a cipher. I watched the wedding with DL, and had nothing but positive comments at the time. I bought the commemorative coin from the Royal Mint. I later learned that they were busy trademarking 'Royal Sussex' almost from the beginning, and plainly had a strategy all their own. So, yes, I feel that sense of loss for what could have been for them and the whole BRF.

What always fascinates me about Meghan is her inability to admit anything's wrong and that she's not universally beloved.

Very much like Trump in that way.

They couldn't get far enough away from her in that video. Ha! Ha ha! I guess everyone thinks she's toxic. How do they know who she is, though?

I almost felt sorry for her in that USO video . Almost . I have to wonder is she really so self involved that all those many slights genuinely doesnt bother her ? I think deep down she knows the truth but shes dammed if she wont go down acting like she's beloved internationally.

I hate houndstooth. She can shove her fashion choices right up her flaccid ass along with her annoying penmanship.

“H” is exhausted by his legal battles.

The outfit really doesn't look bad on her, but houndstooth in the spring? Reminds me of the olive drab dress she wore to Louis's christening while everyone around her was in pastel and hues appropriate to the season.

That is an ugly outfit. Houndstooth looks horrible as a silky maxi skirt. And paired with that office blouse? Yikes.

Not sure what is more ridiculous, another failed attempt to evoke Diana, or her arriving at the theater in a four-car motorcade.

The hubris!

Page Six has learned that Markle, 43, hired former Secret Service agents as part of her private security detail and that the unmarked vehicle, which belonged to the New York Police Department, had two intel detectives inside of it.

We’re told the controversial royal rode in one of the SUVs and the other two were decoys — empty save for drivers — which could have been used to send awaiting photographers on wild goose chases throughout NYC.

A paparazzi source tells Page Six that the duchess’s security measures are “absolutely abnormal, totally over-the-top and excessive.”

“Taylor [Swift] usually has two cars — her car that she’s in and a security car with her team,” the insider says, “and if she’s going somewhere, she has a separate car on-site with her team already there, but they don’t travel together.”

The pap source notes that other A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Rihanna all travel with one car unless they are with family, then they allot for two, but “no one gets police escorts.”

She's become a joke.

Vanessa Friedman slumming as r111.

Is climate and environment still one of their causes?

Were those 4 vehicles electric?

And no, before anybody thinks I'm a climate change non-believer I'm the opposite of that.

The scientific evidence is solid and makes climate change a fact.

My comment at r117 was to make the point that if you're going to announce your concern about it, using 4 gas guzzlers is inconsistent with that.

What's so amusing about the situation is that the paps immediately figured out what her security team was doing, so it was all for naught. Those guys have seen it all. The comparisons to other stars made her look so dramatic. Taylor Swift probably has much better/tighter security (and slew of death threats to warrant it after her Harris endorsement), but she only requires two vehicles.

I guess Harry's appeal of the RAVEC decision to pull his U.K. security needs a dramatic visual back home.

She wants as much security as King Charles III. And she wants him to pay for all of it too. The U.K. was racist and unsafe for her so she fled back to the U.S. which has an even worser history of racism and ten times more violent crimes and gun owners. Makes perfect sense. /s Stupid cunt.

I don’t know if they still do this (and no one would care) but back in the late 80s/early 90s, U2 would send out a limo or two from the arena post-concert to pull the fans’ attention while the band piled into a crappy white van and left quietly.

I bet the Harkles send in phony death threats themselves to justify getting police escorts.

R102 likes pasting words she's heard, rather like someone we deplore here for being a heartless narcissist. For example, she has no clue of what the word "poignant" means.

I suppose she thinks her princess is demure.

I’ve never heard of a celebrity getting a police escort to the theatre. Only Presidents or leads of states would warrant that. Maybe someone so famous their appearance would cause a riot could get that. But without Harry next to her, many people wouldn’t even recognize MM.

Yeah, that’ll fix everything.

R125 that is absolutely hilarious ! That bitch truly has zero awareness !

Oh c’mon, do you believe everything you read on social media? There’s a limit to her vacuity. There has to be.

I believe what I want to believe. And I want to believe there is no limit to her vacuity.

Your Royal Highness, your American daughter-in-law has sent you what appears to be Jam Soup. Shall I send the standard acknowledgment or would you prefer to provide your own wording to that effect?

Omg, this is bloody hilarious. Whomever wrote this headline and the text underneath is a master of snark.

She probably sent the "special gift" before the reviews came in. Charles would probably be interested in the teas, but their reviews were actually worse than the raspberry sauce.

And now that the tabloids know about this, you know they're going to do comparison taste tests with comparable Duchy of Cornwall products. Another own goal?

R129 Charles is “His Majesty”. If you’re going to make an attempt at humour you could at least try to get the stylle

^^^”get the styles right.

Thank you autocorrect!

If only you thought the thought counts, r133.

Stylle?

Isn't that Middle Lancashire for horse piss? I was disappointed it wasn't intentional. And you're right, of course.

She's acting like a princess she saw in the movies, but the crew has gone home.

The monarchists go ballistic at this, seeing their sacred traditions trampled upon by a dusky American thespian, of all people. It's a battle of the oblivious and I love it.

R132 He's not my king. If I see him I will call him Chuckles.

Dee Fiant at R137!

Isn’t that the golf player that Meghan was trying to shag?

R137 that'll show him!

Yes, she tried

She did take a run at Rory McIlroy as I recall reading...

She has no impulse control. She probably read this over and over again, becoming practically orgasmic.

Meghan Markle has provoked outrage among friends of the royal family after publishing a message addressing herself as “Your Royal Highness.”

Buckingham Palace declined to comment, but a friend of King Charles III told The Daily Beast that he would be dismayed at Markle posting a screengrab to Instagram of a message from a senior Ukrainian’s vice prime minister, Yulia Svyrydenko, that began, “Your Royal Highness, I would like to express my sincere thanks for everything your family is doing for Ukraine.”

“It’s outrageous. Every time you think they can’t make it worse, they make it worse,” the friend of the king said. “The deal with the HRH was a way to stop them cashing in while letting them walk away with pride and dignity and trust, and now Markle is using her HRH on a website which seems to exist to sell jam.”

Your Royal Highness? More like Your Royal Heinous.

I'm shitting confetti!!!!

The HRH letter was intended for Harry but Megs posted it on her Instagram—not the commercial one—because “Harry doesn’t have one”. So again, it’s that intentionally vague/plausible but deniable tactic that she’s fond of using like “fish taco lunch with Michelle Obama”. It’s not HER fault if you read it the wrong way.

William will sort them out.

They insulted his wife, who will be queen, and lied about her.

Mortal sin.

Oh! Joy, Rapture! An Easter gift from the Mountbatten-Windsors of Montecito, CA, USA!

The HRH letter is a timely reminder -- lest anyone forget -- that the dimwitted prince and the Mrs. are Royals after all. It's a perfect ploy to showcase her as Lady Bountiful!

Twenty years ago, then First Lady Laura Bush and her elder daughter were seated at the next table to mine at Orso. They were dining with friends after seeing a Broadway show. As I left, a pair of secret service agents were seated by the door. Out on the street were two big SUVs and a NYPD patrol car. Meghan Markle arrives with 4 SUVs? She's a second rate actress getting kicks with a coronet!

The BRF is taking the high road in dealing with the pair of them by ignoring them.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

How many more bombshells that we don't know about already?

Catherine wouldn’t share her lip gloss! William pushed Harry and then apologized! Catherine didn’t like to be hugged! Clearly, we need more scandals like these!

Does Meghan really think that slapping her label on some mass-produced fruit spread will make her a billionaire?

R114 just what Midtown needed…a completely unnecessary motorcade. Jackie Kennedy lived in NYC for decades without security.

I used to be so amused by these fools. Now they’re just dreary and boring. I suspect the large security detail is all an attempt to elevate her importance.

Preparing to be underwhelmed by the “bombshells”

[quote] The BRF is taking the high road in dealing with the pair of them by ignoring them.

Why can't DL do the same? Oh, that's right, we don't take the high road here.

R155 Why did you go through over 150 comments to post if you don't care for this topic? There's countless threads that I'm not interested in, I just scroll past.

R155 must be new here

I just wonder why DL cares for this topic, R156. How does she affect the life of the typical DLer?

[QUOTE]Why can't DL do the same? Oh, that's right, we don't take the high road here.

You sound exquisitely dumb and goddamn lost, r155. Are you here because you were sent to demonstrate your preternatural stupidity goods? It hasn't worked out.

Because she's so annoyingly transparent, r158.

She's the Trump of the Dlist. She gives us respite from him.

The fuck is she wearing?! She must have pissed off one of her twinky PAs or something.

She dresses like she's 5'10" and willowy like Goop. MM has never been able to dress for the body she has. She looks utterly ridiculous.

MM reminds me of the Olsen hags . Those bitches are the only women I know who can make a haute couture gown look like a garbage bag. You can tell MM thinks shes the height of fashion because she wears expensive clothes ,not realizing (or refusing to see ) she looks like shit in them.

Oh, my goodness, they did it again There's a Budget rent-a-car sign in the background. 😂

I'm 5'10" and I would never wear that mess. I mean it looks like she fashioned them herself from beige trash bags. Or in Megspeak, she elevated trash bags...

She's trying for the current "puddled pants" look at r161.

She refuses to get it into her head that she doesn't have the physical dimensions nor the youth to carry-off the latest current fun nonsense that only people in their 20s can get by with.

Obviously, her image of herself is entrepreneur, "Have-it-All" (money, marriage, career, children, you know, that whole competing with other women thing women do to each other) businesswoman which requires a variation on a power-suit cliche garment.

Markle looks awful at r161. She never gets it right.

She could. She has some things going for her, but I'm sure she thinks she knows best and won't abide by good advice.

[quote]Why can't DL do the same? Oh, that's right, we don't take the high road here.

Yeah, well, no fuckin' kidding.

She looks like she’s dressed for a potato sack race.

R148

The Bush daughters are twins.

Oh is see she's over bronzing again.

One of them got shat out first, r168. Barbara is acknowledged as the first Bush twin.

I love baggy suits and wide-legged trousers, but she can't pull it off. And the color is horrible on her.

When she puts on a wide smile, she looks a lot like Cardi B.

Whoa, this picture is really bad. It shows that her middle hair part is becoming decimated by a long, wide white streak of baldness.

Numerous hair relaxers and pulling it back so tight have made a practically white bald streak atop the Duchess's head.

She seems to have some pressing matters to deal with.

You can tell she's trying to wear an "oversized" suit, but she's really just wearing a suit that is too big for her. If she had it tailored to her proportions there is a small possibility it would have worked, but in this case she just put on a too-big suit, shoved the sleeves up, and headed out. The button placement on the blazer is a dead giveaway. The top button should be up near her waist. Derek Guy could do a much better job of explaining all this than I am doing. Anyway, she looks like shit.

Here's an example of her wearing a trouser suit that actually looks good on her. I am clearly triggered by that horrible suit from last night as I've now posted about it 3 times. Moving on! :)

Has she ever been any good at anything? I'll admit I'm not a fan but I don't think anything she's ever done has had a positive reception. It's like she's a masochist at this point.

????

R176, that trouser suit looks good on her because it's from when she was still living in the UK and pretending to try to be a royal. She was being styled by whoever styles royal women and so all her clothes from that brief era look good. She herself has no sense of elegance, sophistication, subtle power dressing or sexiness.

Does it really take a crew of 80 to film her show?

[QUOTE]“When people say, ‘Why didn’t you [film in] your house?’ Well, I have kids coming home for their nap, and 80 people in the kitchen isn’t really the childhood memory I’d want for them to have,” Meghan said, referencing the series’ large crew. She and Prince Harry share two children, Archie (aged 5) and Lilibet (aged 3).

[QUOTE]“We were really fortunate to find something close by,” Meghan said, adding that drawing the boundary for her family is “how I take care of myself.”

[quote]I have kids coming home for their nap

It sounds like the kids are out all day working or something. I can see why the first thing they'd want to do when they get home is have a nap - they can escape Meghan that way.

[quote]drawing the boundary for her family is “how I take care of myself.”

How about “how I take care of THEM”?

It’s these little slip ups that are so telling.

If you've seen photos of her kitchen you know exactly why she didn't want to flim in her own home. Dated and ugly are just the beginning.

[quote]Well, I have kids coming home for their nap

In other words, the nannies bring the children to her for a moment of quality parental interaction before same nanny whisks them out of Meghan's site to put them down for their nap

Those recent pictures in the baggy suit were taken at the Time magazines 100 most influential people gathering where Markle got to talk about herself. And Archie's loose tooth. She brought it up and said she hoped she'd be home in time for when he looses it. Funnily, the Wales had just posted a picture of Louis with two missing front teeth on his 7th birthday.

Apparently, Snoop Dog is hosting the gala tonight. Will she be there or is she rushing home for the big event?

She is utterly odious.

[quote]She REALLLLLY had to poop.

When all else fails she'll announce a dangerous health condition from which she'll emerge glowing and well, ready to share her pain and transcendence.

Checked out the gala arrivals. No MM or Prince Harry.

Did you check the Rental Car Return door at the back of the building?

Tina Brown's out promoting... I don't know, something, and gave an interview where these two (and the royal family) came up. It's quite a different spin on what's going wrong... I thought it was interesting.

“She’s back in 2013, doing the Tig,” Brown says, referring to Markle’s earlier feather-light lifestyle website. “I think Suits and the Tig was the last time she felt successful. It’s all been hellish ever since. Every week she announces a new project. Stop announcing projects! She’s almost compulsive about announcing things and they don’t really happen. They fade and she looks ridiculous. I feel sorry for her, because she’s so lost. I think Harry’s a talent that’s worth more than that. I hope he gets a life back.”

(Brown argues Harry now realises he liked being a working royal and misses being a working prince, but is so loyal to his wife he's stuck. Brown also argues William just cannot forgive.)

Celeste Barber gives Megstyle a try....

Not a huge surprise - Virgina Giuffre topped herself.

Backlash from both sides about Meghan's NYT interview (which I haven't read). Makes you wonder what kind of mail Tina Brown gets.

[QUOTE]We decided to keep the article’s comments section closed, a call that’s made when The Times’s Audience team thinks the response will be overwhelming for our moderators. (Comments on The Times’s website are vetted before they are posted, not to curb opinions, but to filter out profanity and hate speech.)

[QUOTE]Even so, the response was ferocious. The week after publication gave me a sense of what it’s like to live in the spotlight that follows Meghan everywhere.

[QUOTE]Emails from readers began pouring in, and comments spread on social media. Many were filled with passion, some with praise and others with personal attacks on both me and Meghan. Some wrote in to call me incompetent, misogynistic, embarrassing to The Times — and worse.

[QUOTE]Some people incorrectly assumed that I had accepted compensation from Meghan’s team for writing the article. (I did not. Accepting payment for an article is unethical and against The Times’s policy.) Several claimed the article was inaccurate, charges The Times takes very seriously, but they declined to specify what I had gotten wrong. (No corrections were issued.) Some accused me of writing a puff piece; others, of writing a hit piece. That happens sometimes, but I rarely hear both complaints about the same article.

I read it. It was a puff piece.

And the comments section, after 11 responses, is already closed for today's NY Times article posted at r195.

I'm trying to think of another public figure (besides the obvious one) that arouses such a love/hate in people.

[quote] Beyond that, it was just like interviewing any of the cooks I’ve profiled over my 20 years at The Times (with the exception of the fabulous sprawl of the indoor kitchen, the outdoor kitchen and the gardens).

Fabulous.

I make pizza every other Saturday. Today I wanted it saucy with pepperoni (degreased), thin crust, with onion, green pepper, broiled tomate, and mushrooms.

I make excellent pizza!

R200, but did you elevate your pizza by showing you really care more than the average home cook by sprinkling it with "dried edible flowers" for your loved ones, hmm? 😒
