That’s all we need to know about Meghan’s awful business mindset. She really thinks a new website and idiotic videos of HERSELF will move the needle. It won’t.

Companies that focus solely on the face of a “celebrity” will often fail because people will associate whatever failures and unlikable factors that person has on the brand.

In As Ever’s case, Meghan is deeply disliked by the public and has a mountain of failures that keeps growing. No one wants to buy that.

On top of all this, Meghan has created products that underwhelm. They are run-of-the-mill products that people can buy elsewhere for a far better price and quality.

Furthermore, just look at today’s headlines about the runaway inflation rate in the US. It’s now 3.8% for the year. To vie for customers, Meghan will have to do a whole lot better than share silly, vain videos of herself enjoying her own shit.

It’s time to pack it up, Meghan. We know you know this is your last chance at your brand. You ran the company aground, and there’s no righting this ship.

Oh, we don’t talk about him

NPR discusses the concept of American “royalty” naming the Kennedys and Kardashians as two American family dynasties that might fit the bill.

And I find it hilarious that the Kardashians have effectively kicked the Klaw to the kurb.

Oh, hide the plates please! 💥

Nicole posted these photos recently. It’s the Power 100 Luncheon in LA that honored Emma this week. It was a special message to a dear friend.

And notice the relaxed difference in these photos compared to the last one. That last one was from the Beef 2 party at Nicole’s house.

She even turned her body away from the Claw. But the Claw just wouldn’t let go. Nicole probably needed hand therapy after that evening.

The royal family was busy yesterday as they continued to show up for good and celebrate difference makers in the community. They certainly show Harry and Meghan how it all should be done.

It just boggles the mind how Harry decided to throw it all away. And it was all because of the Sussexes’ jealous rages. His children could have enjoyed privileges that few could even dream possible.

The greatest hindrance to a meaningful relationship between Harry and Meghan’s kids and the royal family is Harry and Meghan themselves.

Meanwhile, the royal family keeps working. Yesterday marked the first garden party of 2026 at Buckingham Palace. King Charles and Queen Camilla were in their element honoring those who serve their country in the most impressive ways possible.

And then look at Princess Anne. She not only attended the garden party, but she also presided over the coronation anniversary of KC with a 41-gun royal salute.

None of this should be construed as ignoring Archie or rubbing these events in the Sussexes’ faces. That’s not how the royals think or operate.

Instead, it just goes to show you that life goes on. The royal family keeps calm, carries on, and like Timex, they take a licking but they just keep ticking. And the Sussexes can’t stand it.

The whole boycott NBC thing is all so zany. Like what would she boycott? Just not watching SNL?

Will she demand that Kristen Welker give her airtime on Meet the Press to give a counterpoint? 😂

Or maybe she won’t ever produce any future work at Peacock? Okay Meghan, you get mad now.

Shauna Nep is doing interviews. The timing feels off because Harry and Meghan usually require staff to remain tight lipped about everything. It’s an interesting development because it shows that the Sussexes may not have as much control over staff as they believe.

As a result, these interviews offer clues about the health of Archewell and how it has effectively fallen like a house of cards. Don’t get me wrong, Shauna doesn’t badmouth them, but what she doesn’t say speaks volumes. And she clarifies in own words how she works with “clients.”

Let’s rewind a bit. Shauna Nep works for Archewell. She accompanied Harry and Meghan recently to Australia. At one point, Archewell had her down as “co-executive director” working alongside James Holt. She was the highest paid staffer.

However, she confirmed in a recent substack interview that she considers herself a philanthropic advisor and strategist who takes on "clients." This job title/role and the relationship to Archewell are different from Archewell's own reporting in the past that Shauna is “co-executive director." 

Maybe she was at one time, but perhaps that role is no longer applicable since Archewell’s tidal wave of a reorganization late last year. This seems to confirm the media reporting back in December that Archewell is a shell of itself.

And notice her language. Shauna appears to be placing a distance between herself and Archewell. She doesn't specifically name Archewell or refer to Harry or Meghan at all. The interviewer brings up the Sussexes sycophantically, but Shauna doesn’t bite.

There are pictures of Meghan and Archewell in this substack article, but my hunch is that the author, and not Shauna, included those. This is the substack article: https://whitneygoodman.substack.com/p/the-goods-with-shauna-nep

Shauna talks a lot about her “clients,” her “client work,” and her own line of business as a consultant. And she even references her work with other organizations like SB Projects with Scooter Braun and rhode with Hailey Bieber. But crickets when it comes to Archewell.

This distance makes sense given the decimation of the Archewell brand last year and the fact that it had to revamp, go under a fiscal sponsorship model, and significantly cut staff.

Archewell is such a shit show. Remember how it was found delinquent by the state of California for failing to pay its annual registration fee or submit an annual report? CharityWatch has roundly criticized the organization for its lack of transparency and accountability. And the fact there were no board members beyond H and M.

Here’s a previous post I did about CharityWatch’s article about Archewell: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/s/l25HRDdSuL

Maybe Shauna has realized that all of this is a bad look now and is trying to generate her own buzz as a way to market herself to new clients. It’s every woman for herself at Archewell. I’m sure this won’t raise any eyebrows in Montecito. 😉

This comes from one of her As Ever adverts on Instagram: “Our best selling candle now in two scents” 🤔 It’s your ONLY kind of candle, ma’am. A coconut-soy wax blend in the same white candle holder.

It was only ever one candle - back then in two original scents. If we’re charitable and allow her to claim two completely different candles, then one would be the “better selling” candle, not best. Whichever way you cut it, it doesn’t pass the smell test.

She’s hoping her word salad marketing campaign will help her sell goods even if there is no truth behind it. It’s heartening to know that her clumsy language skills are not doing her any favors. And check out that shameless promotion of the children.

The result: none of her candles have sold out.

Now, let’s talk about her silly candle numbering system. She’s selling this idea of the candle numbers as being a meaningful tribute to the dates that matter to her. But her numbering system is off.

519 is her wedding anniversary (May 19). 084 is her birthday (August 4). Notice anything odd? Well, she is numbering May as “5” and August as “08”. The August 4 candle should really be 804 not 084, if it were to follow the same numbering convention as her wedding date candle.

And she’s apparently caught this mistake the second time around because her latest Archie and Lili birthday candles are 506 (May 6) and 604 (June 4) - not 056 and 064.

She’s as dimwitted as Harry now. 🤭

This is just too funny not to share. It’s tea from Rob Shuter, so take it with a grain of salt. Some of the best liners below. Essentially, Meghan was turned off by Lauren because she saw too much of herself in Lauren. And she couldn’t handle it! 🤭
___

“Meghan thought Lauren was loud, thirsty, and painfully performative,” one insider says. “She smiled to her face, then tore her apart behind her back. Lauren was never someone Meghan took seriously.”

“Meghan is suddenly sending handwritten notes, curated gifts, homemade jam, luxury treats,” the insider says. “It’s classic Meghan: polished, strategic, and impossible to miss.”

“This is not friendship,” the source adds. “This is a social correction.”

“Lauren reminded Meghan of Meghan,” the source says. “That was always the real issue. One married a billionaire pretending to be a prince. The other married a prince pretending to have billions.”

Thank you goldenbeee for sharing this nugget!

Wow, Harry must feel completely downtrodden and useless by now at what happened last week. It’s greyrocking like no tomorrow AND showing the world who the king and queen have chosen as trusted members of their inner circle.

And it’s not Harry and Meghan. 🤭 As if.

Prince Harry has harbored hard feelings towards Camilla for decades. He’s stuck in time, and it’s just sad. This latest development is sure to trigger those extra-sausages crybaby conversations in Montecito.

What this VIP invitation tells us is that Camilla’s family has now earned their place. They have the absolute confidence of the monarch to support the crown at a key moment in US-UK relations. Camilla’s family can now say they are part of this story. But not Hazbeen.

It’s the ultimate gesture of love and respect that the king can give to his wife and blended family. Don’t you think? And it’s the biggest snub for Harry. Harry is definitely at the bottom of the royal pecking order. He’s sort of a footnote in his own life. And there’s no turning back.

And it’s all so deserved. No VIP entrances, no red carpets, no fucking invitations.

I adore these images of King Charles and Queen Camilla visiting a honeybee keeper in Front Royal, Virginia. They even gifted each other their honeys, and oh how sweet it is.

The same can’t be said for Meghan and her third-party As Ever honey shill. No king, queen, or commoner would want that.

And let’s compare their honey prices by the ounce:

*The Honeystead (Front Royal) honey is $1.45 per ounce

*The King’s Highgrove honey is $1.57 per ounce

*Meghan’s As Ever honey shit is $3.56 per ounce

Hmmm 🤔 you can get locally sourced, small batch, single-site honey that is likely better quality than Meghan’s for less than half the price. Well, the choice is clear. You get better quality and superior value by choosing something OTHER than As Ever.

Well, Meghan, you lose again. I guess you can chalk this up to another one of your learns. Now buzz off, bitch.

On May 2, 2025, Harry was absolutely humiliated. Harry lost the appeal of his RAVEC lawsuit. It was the court case that had consumed his life.

It’s been his unhealthy obsession since Megxit. He even plotted that weird and infamous near catastrophic car chase in Manhattan to use as evidence in the case. But Harry’s false claims were challenged in real time. And by the mayor of NYC no less.

After losing his appeal, Harry rashly summoned the BBC to film that embarrassing interview. He called the RAVEC decision “a good old-fashioned establishment stitch up.” Now that’s what I call a deranged conspiracy. And we know where to find him!

And he continues to moan on and on about it to this very day. He even announced that he personally wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in October to demand a new risk assessment around his need for full security. In January, Harry’s team hinted that the decision was imminent and that his full security would be restored. 🤔

Well, calm down, dude. These matters take time. And no decision has been made yet. But let me be crystal clear. I believe you will receive the SAME security arrangement that you’ve had since Megxit. It is not the 24/7 armed police protection that you wish.

No amount of letter writing can circumvent the hard truth that the judge explained to Harry. That judge, Sir Geoffrey Vos (Master of the Rolls), presided over Harry’s case and was masterful. He ruled wisely, patiently, and above all, communicated clearly his common sense approach. Sir Common Sense meet Mr. Mischief.

Let us all salute the judge who knocked Harry down many notches. Sir Geoffrey is retiring October, 31, 2026 as Master of the Rolls and the Head of Civil Justice. He is the second most senior judge in England and Wales after the Lady Chief Justice. His career is long and storied.

I’m including here his retirement announcement along with his summary ruling that denied Harry’s appeal.

The latter is a great read because Sir Geoffrey points out to Harry that his bespoke security arrangement was an unintended but sensible consequence of having stepped down as a working royal and moving over 5,000 miles away.

Sir Geoffrey also articulated that it is at the government’s discretion to determine its appetite for risk when it comes to protecting individuals like Harry. The ruling essentially made Harry for a fool.

Thank you, Sir Geoffrey, for serving justice. And thank you for serving Harry his just desserts!! 🧁

It’s no contest. As if there ever could be. It’s the monarch vs. the wayward spare. Show him how it’s done, King Charles.

King Charles just delivered a master class at statesmanship while visiting the US. And fortunately, he also had a brain trust of esteemed palace and governments advisors to support him.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan took their little Sussex infomercial on the road to find new ways to exploit others. It was amateur hour.

Half-Price Prince Harry and the Discount Duchess had to slash their ticket prices while there, and they STILL couldn’t fill a room.

And, unfortunately for the Sussexes, they were accompanied by a small team of clumsy, incompetent, and sycophantic staff who just couldn’t control the narrative.

Because no matter what the Sussexes claimed about their “success” down under, photographic and videographic evidence suggested otherwise and told a very different story. They were instead met with sparse crowds and indifferent people. As ever.

Now, let’s look at the latest poll numbers. This is the YouGov poll of Brits regarding King Charles’ visit.

74% thought KC handled the state visit fairly well or very well compared to just 4% who did not. Another 22% answered, “don’t know.” This is extraordinarily positive.

43% thought KC’s visit would likely improve US policy toward the UK a little or a lot, while 38% didn’t think it would make a difference. Only 2% thought the visit would worsen matters. 16% answered, “don’t know.”

I believe most people wouldn’t think that a single trip could make a difference, so the fact that 43% thought it could lead to improved policy, then that is one highly successful visit.

Let’s now turn to the Roy Morgan poll conducted after Harry and Meghan’s visit to Australia. This poll was widely reported a couple of weeks ago as a strong indication that the Sussexes failed abysmally to achieve their aims.

A colossal 81% of Australians said Harry and Meghan’s visit did not improve their opinion of them, while only 19% said it did. This is truly embarrassing.

I want to point out here that the Roy Morgan poll had a flaw in the question. The question SHOULD have also included an additional response of whether H and M’s visit “WORSENED” the public’s view of them (not just “improved” - so the public should have been given a full array of response choices such as “improved”, “made no difference”, and “worsened” their view).

Because then that 81% could be further parsed out to show not just the percentage for whom the visit made no difference but also those for whom it worsened their opinion. In other words, this survey was trying to be nice… but the results showed just how unpopular the Sussexes truly are even when given the benefit of doubt.

Lastly, let’s move on to the question about Meghan, specifically, and I’m afraid it’s not good news either. Only 25% thought the visit showed a positive side of her, while 75% did not. Yikes.

IMHO the benchmark you’d want here is at least 50% in order to come out ahead. Also, this question contains the same flaw as the one I mentioned above. You’d want to know of the 75% who didn’t see a positive side of Meghan, what share thought the visit showed a NEGATIVE side of Meghan. My hunch is… a lot. 😆 

Well, there you have it. Two trips. Two pairs of people. And wildly different outcomes. Poor Harry and Meghan. They fail to launch each and every time.

Or I can send these pics on your behalf. Or whatever.

I just know I wouldn’t eat it. Were your candles wickless? Same FAQ.
