I think that it is a good thing that Meghan is re-entering the lifestyle blogging space. I am not crazy about the name, it sounds word salad-y.
Like you I wish her well with this project.Good luck to her. It certainly isn’t without precedent as a commercial path for non-working royals. A bit reminiscent of the Duchess of York’s time promoting Wedgwood China, which I believe was fairly successful for her at the time.
According to the Daily Mail, Meghan will have a cooking show on Netflix. She’ll also be selling her own food.
So she’s basically modeling her brand off of Martha Stewart.
Kind of sounds that way. There’s a lot of this out there already. But we’ll see how it goes.
I think that’s been true for a long time and it’s a genuine shame. I was trying to think earlier of what companies have a strategy that I could see being successful for Meghan, and they are all niche brands but strong ones with clear messaging.Honestly? It feels like she doesn't know who she is or what she wants to do. It seems like she's throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. Do we need another celebrity cooking show or cookware line? Yes, she's a celebrity, whether she may use that word to describe herself or not.
How? It literally has the same vibe as The Tig. It doesn't look at all off for her. This has been reported about for a very long time, that she would be likely doing this. Her first singular thing she did as a royal was a cookbook. This seems to speak very much to who she is.Honestly? It feels like she doesn't know who she is or what she wants to do.

Totally agree. At this point it's world class trolling. We know it, they know it and they are perfectly fine with that.I couldn't help smile at the timing of the brand reveal. Perfectly timed to compete with William at the Diana Awards. Meghan's (& Harry's) attempts to steal the limelight get more desperate as time goes by, IMO!
I love how TRH The Sussexes still maintain their relationships with members of the Uvalde community (I believe last year or so was when HRH The Duchess of Sussex brought food for many of the victims' families). I especially love, however, how much their visits seem to brighten the spirits of the victims' families, and with such a massive tragedy and inexcusable failure that was Uvalde, the small happiness is 200% deserved.
She is obviously entitled to pursue whatever commercial venture she wants (lifestyle blogging, podcasting, TV/movie production company, acting, etc.). It still bothers me though that she uses "Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex" as her commercial brand name. It doesn't make sense to do it in America, where her title is not legally recognized, and reinforces the perception that she joined the British Royal Family with an eye to later profiting from an association with a royal brand.Kind of sounds that way. There’s a lot of this out there already. But we’ll see how it goes.
I thought it was unfortunate timing. Instead of a fresh new focus, it only magnifies the negativity surrounding them. If only they could see that.
It was quite deliberate, utterly pathetic and totally predictable.I couldn't help smile at the timing of the brand reveal. Perfectly timed to compete with William at the Diana Awards. Meghan's (& Harry's) attempts to steal the limelight get more desperate as time goes by, IMO!
THIS sums it up beautifully. I doubt very much she has any genuine interest in jam, or napkins, of whatever else she's trying to flog. There's genuinely no passion there - the South Park parody of the empty vessel was spot on. It's just another attempt to get money, fame and attention and it's getting more and more desperate.Honestly? It feels like she doesn't know who she is or what she wants to do.

Happens too frequently to be coincidental.Bad timing to say the least. Or is it ?
It’s very obvious that this is Plan B imo.How? It literally has the same vibe as The Tig. It doesn't look at all off for her. This has been reported about for a very long time, that she would be likely doing this. Her first singular thing she did as a royal was a cookbook. This seems to speak very much to who she is.
The point isn’t whether it actually overshadowed anything. It’s about Meghan and her need to publicly do things at the same time as her in- laws. It’s a bad look.Oh, of all the things that have happened to the BRF this week, I'm sure it's not HRH The Duchess of Sussex's line announcement that has overshadowed HRH The Prince of Wales at the Diana awards.

Oh, I'm convinced of it! IMO that was the plan right from the start.It’s all she has. I get why she uses it. She’s known for marrying into the BRF. She has nothing else that sets her apart.
It wouldn’t surprise me if she was always eying using her title for money making purposes.
I don't think Martha has anything to worry about. As someone said in an earlier post, she's all over the place. And using her title to boot which she and Harry agreed not to do to make money.According to the Daily Mail, Meghan will have a cooking show on Netflix. She’ll also be selling her own food.

And certainly undercuts her speech in TX last week, doesn't it?Totally agree. At this point it's world class trolling. We know it, they know it and they are perfectly fine with that.
It's gotten no front pages over there, just small column inches. It has overshadowed nothing.,Oh, of all the things that have happened to the BRF this week, I'm sure it's not HRH The Duchess of Sussex's line announcement that has overshadowed HRH The Prince of Wales at the Diana awards.
