In her famous New Yorker essay, a different Meghan - the writer Meghan Daum - confesses that even as her life crumbled because of overwhelming credit card debt, she still bought fresh flowers every day. "I have a compulsive need to keep fresh-cut flowers in my apartment at all times," Meghan Daum wrote.
Meghan Markle, who is still the Duchess of Sussex although no longer HRH Duchess of Sussex, also has a spending compulsion. She must have PR, a habit that started when she was an up-and-coming actress and continues today.
Even now - when she is desperate for income and effectively homeless - Meghan Markle has managed to keep her PR machine rolling.
God only knows who is paying for it.
But Meg hasn't let that stop her - perhaps she's hoping to be a "Tiger King" type distraction for people who can't bear to read more bad news.
Unfortunately, the things people really want to know about Meg are things she is unwilling or unable to discuss.
How's Archie? "Sorry, no photos." So, tell me about your new house? "That's confidential." What really went on between you and the Royal Family? "You'll have to wait for the book."
Instead, we've had day after day of PR stories of stuff that pretty much nobody is interested in.
Yesterday the Telegraph's fashion page, which has long been bizarrely supportive of poorly-dressed Meghan, ran a story headlined: "The exercise regime responsible for Meghan's new body."
The article was a puff piece about an exercise studio founder; it wasn't until the end of a lengthy paragraph 3 that the writer added that the founder's "personal clients include Carey Mulligan, the actress, and the Duchess of Sussex. (Meghan was spotted at the Heartcore Kensington studio when she moved to London and instantly liked its menu of stretching, barre work, free weights, TRX, yoga and low impact cardio.)"
So his trainer worked with Meg 3 years ago when she first arrived in London? Big news. Was "Meghan's new body", as promised in the headline, established in 2017?
Also, is Meg still a client? She's in LA now, but does she use the trainer's online program?
The trainer doesn't know, and neither does the Telegraph. "She says her data can’t tell her whether Meghan’s logging on. But given how addictive that post-class buzz of toned, lengthened and stretched out muscles is, it would be odd if the Duchess wasn’t keeping up with Heartcore."
OK, this is not what they taught us in journalism school. The Telegraph has literally 0% proof that Meg is involved with this fitness programme. Why are they mentioning her name?
Unless, of course, they've been paid to.

Trying to be a distraction
One might guess that when the world is gripped by the coronavirus crisis, people might not be interested in a mid-level celebrity couple.But Meg hasn't let that stop her - perhaps she's hoping to be a "Tiger King" type distraction for people who can't bear to read more bad news.

Strange stories
Today's top story on Page Six (probably lifted to that spot by one of Meg's famous bot farms) is "Meghan Markle's real name and title revealed on Archie's birth certificate." Hm. Her real name is Rachel, she's a princess due to her marriage to Harry, and that (possibly faked) birth certificate is nearly a year old. Why is this news?Yesterday the Telegraph's fashion page, which has long been bizarrely supportive of poorly-dressed Meghan, ran a story headlined: "The exercise regime responsible for Meghan's new body."
The article was a puff piece about an exercise studio founder; it wasn't until the end of a lengthy paragraph 3 that the writer added that the founder's "personal clients include Carey Mulligan, the actress, and the Duchess of Sussex.

The Daily Mail chimes in
Paid placement in the Daily Mail Online is an open secret; the Kardashians have been doing it for years, and so have many other reality TV types who make much of their income from "dates" with men who discover them in the Mail.
Even the Chinese Communist Party is getting in on the action: today the Mail published a story and Tweet asking "Has China won the war for global supremacy?" (No, but they've proven how far the MailOnline's owner, Viscount Rothermere, will go for a pay cheque.)
The Daily Mail plays a consistent role in Meg's PR campaign, publishing stories about her almost every day.
In the past three days, we've learned from the Daily Mail that Prince Harry assisted with her (awful) narration of an elephant documentary, that she had not seen her mother Doria since returning to Los Angeles, that Meg's UK-based facialist found her "kind and down-to-Earth", and that Meg would like to return to acting but would "only work with A-list directors, like Ava Duvernay"
Today, the Daily Mail informed us that "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are taking a few months off before launching their new brand because they need a break."
Oh, please do take some time off, Meg. I dare you.
But I don't think you can.
But I don't think you can.
Comments
@Sandie, I have to say that my opinion re whether Archie is "real" or not has evolved over time and morphed into several different directions, sometimes at the same points in time lol, and while I do not and have not formed a definitive opinion, I have remained open to lots of arguments. I'm torn because it's been so bizarre that it's impossible to hold too tightly to any opinion of it IMO. My point re this is that I do think the discussions change and/or open those minds willing to consider the alternatives, although some, admittedly get too far out for me. I find the most useful part of the discussion is just having our individual perceptions of "whoa, this is weird!" validated.
And @Fairy Crocodile, I agree that a balanced discussion helps to keep our wilder assumptions in check, and is very good for the general quality of this blog. Of course, that requires keeping egos in check, remaining objective, and being honest about any existing biases.
Nutty Flavor should be proud.
We fight each other. In real life, we would probably punch each other in the face.
I would like to punch many people in the face.
But here, we discuss.
I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it already, but I couldn’t help immediately noticing the regal shade… HMTQ chose for her speech the exact shade of green we last saw from The Ducha$$ of Nowhere in her last appearance as a “Royal.” This is how one wears green regally. Somehow, I don’t think the color of her majesty’s dress was a coincidence.
I agree with Elle regarding some genius pieces of PR being released by the BRF family right now. The piece about Meg only wanting to work with that director Ava Duvernay was highly effective. That is annoying and offensive to anyone in Hollywood, heck to anyone. Meghan might be street smart and she can fight dirty, but she cannot compete with the minds that work for the British royal family. Some smart and canny folks work there!
I also agree with two other points brought up. "We tried- we really tried" is not just a theory to me. It's absolute fact. Partly because frankly, the Queen, Prince Charles, etc, they do love Harry. Also because they realize the precarious position they are in, in regards to Meghan's race. So they had to put their best efforts, best feet forward with H&M. Lastly, covid 19 has knocked Meghan completely out of the game. That's why you see such stupid pieces about her right now. She is desperate and you can feel it.
I often wonder about Harry. In his quiet moments, does he sits there thinking about what has become of his life? His BROTHER, their relationship, just basically been thrown in the shitter (pardon my language). That's where Archie comes in. He has his son, HIS family. I think he always admired/emulated William and Kate and their family, now he has his own son. The problem is...his wife! She has brought out the most odious parts of H's personality. When he flew on a private jet and gave that stupid barefoot speach on the beach, much to the chagrine and amusement of the world, I remember thinking WOW, she brings out the worst in him. It will be interesting to see how their future shapes up! Not looking good as of now though
I hate, yes, HATE the Harkles.
Still, being Christian, I will give them a chance.
Do the right thing by the Queen. If you do, many of us might stand by you.
If not, then …………… not.
@Christine, of course, we know I concur lol. And yes, you're right, the "We tried- we really tried" is not just a PR tactic. It's absolute fact. Partly because frankly, the Queen, Prince Charles, etc, they do love Harry. Also because they realize the precarious position they are in, in regards to Meghan's race. So they had to put their best efforts, best feet forward with H&M.
I do think that the BRF were aware early on that Rach wasn't all that and a box of cracker, so I do think that some of the special treatment was the result of two birds/one stone in the sense that the BRF wanted to show acceptance and they love Harry, and so they welcomed her, but also, in case this went off the rails later, there would be definitive proof that they tried, they really, really tried. I still think that's why Rach got the train. And the big wedding. And the tour. And the special protection for her mother, etc.
@Lt. Nyota I can promise you that I would never punch you or any other Nuttier in the face, just like I wouldn't hit either of the Dumbartons. Far better to just SMH and walk away. Just sayin'.

Interesting that you say Harkles cause strong emotions in you (like hate). Would you mind elaborating why? I am genuinely curious
I am in anti-Meg camp because certain people and media outlets are trying to sell her as a warm and caring human being, great actress, intelligent activist and a positive force, which I clearly see she isn't.
Once she is removed as a UK representative role my interest in her diminished greatly. I am mostly now watching Harry's boat sinking. I think Harry is the enabler and main destructive force in the duo. Markle has just used him to get to Hollywood and fame she doesn't deserve
ROTFLOL!!!
Until now, those with a good grasp of matters from a professional viewpoint, as opposed to armchair-shrinks such as myself, have worn their authority lightly and we have been able to chew things over together.
Those of us who have suffered at the hands of these horrible people have been able to bring our experience to the table and offer our hard-won insights without being damned from the moral high ground for the heinous sin of `labelling' - at least that's how it looks from where I'm standing.
Together, we have tried, with such evidence as is available to us, to get at whatever truth lies within. We agree to differ on many points, after all we each see through our own `filters'. My filter is that of a loyal subject of Her Majesty, one brought up by a narcissistic mother and conditioned to submit to whatever the narcissist wants. Someone who has spent years and a small fortune in counselling to free herself from the very difficult people that have come her way, whether in the guise of loving friends or a spouse.
There, that's where I'm coming from.
I really would like to know whether the taker(s) of the moral high ground are legitimate professionals or whether they are only signalling their virtue.
Declare yourselves - I dare you.
Until that happens, I shall question whether there is still place here for me.
It's worse than that. "Respectable" outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal publish paid "advertorials" from various foreign governments, including the Chinese communist party.
The Economist recently published an "advertorial" paid for by the government of China about how well they were handling the coronavirus crisis. (Sorry for the right-wing source, but they have a very useful photograph.)
Here's a whole section from the New York Times that was paid for by the Chinese government.
It really makes you wonder who you can trust. During the Coronavirus crisis, I've found various citizen journalists on Twitter more reliable than the mainstream media. This coming from a person who worked at several mainstream media outlets earlier in my career.
Do you think the DM is publishing sugary pieces with the intention of letting the public make the criticisms?
Then, when accused by the MM camp, they can act all innocent - `What do you mean - Critical? Moi?'.
With lots of time on my hands right now (I'm a lawyer and all the courts here are closed) I decided to dig through old gossip sites to see just where it all went wrong for MM. Contrary to what Harry said, that nobody gave her a "fair shake", she was the one who never gave the BRF or her role in it a fair shake. I've come across one instance after another of her disregarding protocol, offending and just generally doing whatever she wanted. Then, when she was criticized, she had the gall to complain that she was being bullied and that the "bullies" were motivated by racism. For someone who is allegedly fashion-conscious, how could she get her clothes so wrong? She spent an awful lot of money on them (a million dollars in one year, by some estimates) yet the clothes were often too small (so tight you could see the outline of her underwear) or too large (her shoes).
As for her stated wish to work with big-name directors only: when you are a member of the BRF, the Queen is your boss. When you leave your employment, the worst thing you can do is publicly insult and humiliate your boss, the way the Harkles did to the Queen when they left the Firm. She doesn't think that the A-listers she is courting are going to look at that and steer clear of her?
Speaking of A-listers, where are Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Elton John and all the other celebrities who defended the Harkles during private-jet-gate last summer? The silence this time has been deafening.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were ‘moved’ by Queen Elizabeth II’s coronavirus address:
https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a32052023/meghan-markle-prince-harry-queen-coronavirus-speech/
Not sure they were "moved" when they disrespected so many time HMQ...
I do think the BRF uses PR right know. IMO, this isn’t great but still less pathetic than SS ongoing campaign:
Prince William and Kate Middleton's favourite royal photographer reveals .... (while Meghan's hairdresser reveals that...):

Not the case, protection is not extended to family members, (Catherine’s family do not get it etc) unless of course paid for privately. 🤗
All politics aside, he's such a positive, ebullient man. With a baby on the way too!

-----------
The NY Times piece was marked as an advertisement though, and ran a disclaimer at the top: "This content was paid for and created by China Daily, People’s Republic of China. The news and editorial staffs of The New York Times had no role in this advertisement’s creation. and described as an advertisement at the top." They gotta make their dollars.
Saudi Arabia had one in the Washington Post, IIRC, around the time Jamil Khashoggi disappeared but before it was definitely known he was murdered.
China Daily has newspaper boxes in Washington DC, with FREE on the side. FWIW?
It really makes you wonder who you can trust. During the Coronavirus crisis, I've found various citizen journalists on Twitter more reliable than the mainstream media. This coming from a person who worked at several mainstream media outlets earlier in my career.
And I don't disagree with you Nutty, as the song said believe half of what you read, and none of what you hear! The citizens are not counting on that paycheck in a shrinking field though. They really are in it for truth and justice.
>>>protection is not extended to family members, (Catherine’s family do not get it etc) unless of course paid for privately.<<<
There have been stories that the Middletons sometimes DO get taxpayer funded RPOs. For example,
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2223806/Who-Middletons-think-Royalty-Pippas-book-venue-vetted-palace-protection-officers.html
You may very well be right although it's not clear to me that the RF can pay privately **for RPOs** to protect in-laws. In fact, I thought the prohibition against being able to pay the police to protect anyone was discussed re: H&M. Of course just as anyone can, the RF can pay a private firm but I didn't think they could pay the Metro Police.
The DM article about Pippa's book tour may not be true but it's an example of stories that have been published about the Middletons getting various kinds of royal perks at Will's request. So stories have been out there. What made stories about Doria so odd to me was that she's in a different country! Because I had seen Middleton stories, the idea wasn't shocking but the location was.

@Fairy Crocodile,
I would not care so much did I not worry about the state of the British Monarchy.
It is an institution that has existed for more than a thousand years. Yes, I'm an American, and yes, we fought Britain for our independence. But the monarchy is something else altogether.
To think that some jumped-up, less than prostitute, could blow raspberries at this ancient institution without any kind of retribution --
It earns my hatred. I would give anything to stomp on her doe-eyed face. And then make her clean my shoes.
It’s getting late, so good night........ oh sorry, I mean good evening everyone.
Yes, Nutty, let me add my thanks to you for providing some quality reading material. We need all the laughs we can get right now and a place to let off steam. We have it right here.
As many of your have found out, maybe to your horror, I have an, um, odd sense of humour. Now that His Markleness Just Harry is now a producer, he can now establish his own casting couch. I wonder if JH’s Mrs. has considered this? After all, she’s reportedly a pro at navigating a casting call.

It brings joy to know that Meghan is crying every morning onto her avocado toast. She would have been able to be papped walking on the LA beaches, wig blowing in the tempered winds while wearing flowy, gauzy, white beach dress. Archie would have been trotted out for baby's first birthday photos, perhaps shopping at baby boutiques in Beverly Hills. There would be chance for Archie to be papped in Disneyland, an Instagram Story titled Baby's First Disneyland starring Meghan Duchess of Malibu.
The day after the Queen spoke to the British people, Meghan couldn't resist paying ET for a story on how well and and Harry are coping psychologically since escaping from the BRF. I used to think the reason Meghan couldn't resist trying to one-up other senior royals is due to her intense narcissism. While she is still a narcissist, I believe the main reason she follows up or times her own self-promotions with those of BRF is because she is piggybacking off of them. Meghan is using these timed stories to gain more coverage and publicity for herself. Deep down she knows that she no zero star power or gravitas.
_____________________________________________________
Deep down, I hope she self destructs.

Honestly.
I will still try to keep the Christian ideal. It is what I was raised with. Forgive, and forget.

Well, Meg and H, here is what I think of when I hear Archewell:
1. Madewell. As in the sister retail company of JCrew. I like it but it’s high street and BASIC, Meg. Sounds copycat.
2. Snackwell. As in the 1990s-era, American no-fat snacks in the green boxes. Throwback BASIC.
3. Arch supports. Enough said.
“Travelyst”? “Archewell”? You pay people for this? Thanks for the laughs, guys!
Beat me to it! And I agree with all!
The whole schtick is about as genuine as her pregnancy.
Oh heck. I said I wasn't going to, but I went ahead and did a simple search:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arche
"As of October 17th, 2018 Recreational Cannabis is now legal and shops are opening their doors! It remains illegal to consume marijuana in public in British Colombia, but a number of lounges operate under the “safe space” law and provide a place for medical marijuana users to come consume."
So apparently she named that poor child Archie after a domain name.
That is easily one of the saddest things I have ever heard.
@WBBM
Please don't ever leave us. I love your insights and stories.
Terrible news about PM Boris Johnson! May he and his pregnant fiancé get well very soon. Politics aside, I’ve always found him a very interesting and compelling personality that I personally chalk up to his background as a journalist.
So glad to see a bunch of posters checking in. My stress levels have been through the roof and I feel better knowing you guys are okay: @Hikari, @Elle, and @JocelynBellinis. I apologize if I missed anyone. May everyone here, their friends, and loved ones stay safe, healthy, and happy.
Maybe this is her way of getting feelers for response. The only positive feedback she can get now is via Archie alone. Just H has been Markled and lost any semblance of cachet.
Sounds like an insurance company or a mutual fund.
Well we all knew she would have to drop a story to try to outshine the Queen's speech. Fascinating how she really can't help herself.
Does anyone know what Travalyst is?
WTF is Archewell?
Sorry, sounds like a scan to me!
I am glad YOUR comment was deleted by Nutty, She saw you were being unkind.
So maybe mine got deleted because of your eyeroll comment. Yet the tide is beginning to shift.
And you muse that you "dominate the blog' but you will be gone for awhile. *Sigh* Eye-roll, Lol
My stance is that this is a Gossip Blog and therefore a place for speculation, free thinking, and free debate. Standards expected in academia or professional settings are nice but should never be requisite for participation. Personal experiences and anecdotes are datum and highly relevant to understanding and evaluating theoretical and practical knowledge.
Ar-chee-well?
Arch-well?
Arch-uh-well?
Archie will be used to support/fund H&M & their “foundation”
I hope I haven’t committed any “isms” “ists” or “ings” ��
@Wild Boar
You are magnificent.
Freya astride Hildisvini!!
Maybe Meg is trying to give us a subliminal message about Archie. The fonts here worried if the baby is neglected are getting plastered in the face with: he is well.
@KCM, she named that poor child Archie after a domain name.
That is easily one of the saddest things I have ever heard. It is one of the most manipulative and shallow things I have ever heard. Archie is nothing but a tool for her. We knew this, but still.
@IEschew and @PortCity lol on snackwell, madewell, and the arch supports. This poor child.
Also, does the Duke of Malibu know he's basically been marked down and put in the clearance aisle?
Dorset, United Kingdom, moments ago
Archewell? As in 'arch well' like she did in her 'scenes' in suits? Once a ho.e. always a h.oe I suppose. How fitting.
doh!
What is Archell Foundation ???
I was also nauseous at that part.
“Focusing on the coronavirus pandemic”
How are they focusing on it? Seems like they are “isolating” in a fancy mansion in California being annoying.
They haven’t been supporting people or donating time, money or supplies.
Unless you consider a 👏🏻 Helping. I don’t.
In conclusion, Archewell is the dumbest name ever. No wonder they were so mad about losing Sussex Royal.
That website is still up and listed as the “official website of the Duke & Duchess”. If we want to continue their slapping of The Queen.
You weren’t being unkind. Nothing wrong with your post.
Keep doing what you do, I enjoy your comments.
Remember
“there’s nowt so queer as folk”
"I really would like to know whether the taker(s) of the moral high ground are legitimate professionals or whether they are only signalling their virtue."
Maybe some take the 'moral high ground' because quite simply, they are good decent people who don't want to indict Meghan or Harry without hard facts or when there are competing viewpoints they don't want to speak ill without proof.
While Marie said...
"...given the amount of in-fighting, suspicion of Meghan "sugars" infiltrating, and aggressive posturing."
She and I have seen this with many openly saying they "Hate" Meghan, and wish violence even on them both. Should one err on the side of unbridled "Hate" or tolerance? Then why be so aggressive toward posters who have an opinion different from your own...that sounds Meghan-like in its audacity.
The blog has been taken a dark turn recently what with jumping on long time valued posters, violent ideations, nasty disagreements, domineering actions, censorship. Maybe it is the boredom that has set in with just so much rehashing and little new to discuss that has caused people to get testy. I wish the blog would return to how it was a year ago.
Here is a pithy quote attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt:
"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

From Toronto paper:
« Darling, it wouldn't be so ridiculous if you didn't name the foundation after a baby which isn't even legally yours ».
And yes, @Imabug, by "focus" I think the Malibu twins mean cursing it for ruining their merching plans and obsessing about how fabulously rich, rich, rich they'd be if the rona wasn't ruining their cash flow. Of course, the rona didn't suck Rachel's talent out of her body, and I don't think that the disgust and disdain many feel for the two is a symptom of the virus.
odds are he is ventilated ,or soon to be. Meghan and Harry are absolutely vile. never seen anything like it.totally disgusting
It was your comment that included about "egos". I responded (including STANDING UP FOR MARIE) and you ran to tattle-tell to mommy, errr Nutty
"""sigh, eyeroll lol etc (the whole bit)
So Nutty came and deleted yours and mine. Don't like fair?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not plan to start a ‘foundation’... ».
What is Archell Foundation ???
I think it's another example of doing the exact opposite of what they say they'll do. It's up there with her not returning to acting (yeah, right) or she'll only work with A-list directors (if only they'd work with her) or they want to support the queen (while they stab her in the back... etc.
@Nutty, was I being unkind? Pls see below. I didn't think I'd said anything unkind, but if I did, please let me know. I accidentally posted a blank comment above (#201), so maybe that is what this is about. If I was unkind, it was unintentional. If I wanted to be unkind, I certainly could respond to so much left for me, but I am just overlooking it. However, if I did something wrong, I would want you to tell me.
Oh FFS, no, you were not being unkind. Someone was just being very sensitive. Hang in, the blog is much nicer with your thoughts and observations!
I think MM will set up a web site that is much in the style of Goop - all trash and no class. She’ll promote products and companies for a fee, present a curated selection of goods for sale, and offer access to her own podcasts and personal appearances. Pretty soon she’ll be designing furnishings, clothing, or licensing her name to a line of wigs. She’s figured out that no one will hire her, so she’ll merch herself. I think she’ll envision her earnings in the Kardashian range, but without a Momager to hold the reins, she’ll stumble from one get-rich scheme to the next. It will all be presented as very woke, with a side of word salad. Harry will be mentioned on occasion (“the Prince and I”), but will otherwise be superfluous.
>>>Hang in, the blog is much nicer with your thoughts and observations!<<
I disagree. I don't have to repeat why.

What I want to know is how she markets the trash because what's her niche? Aging and talentless yacht girls? Swanning social climbers with greasy pole notoriety? People who used to be royal and tacky but are now just tacky?
I honestly think that after the virus has finished with our economy, it will bounce back but in an entirely different trajectory. I've read that people are gravitating to small, local business since this has hit, pulling together. I agree she'll flop from one to the next though. I just don't see who buys it.
I think KCM... came up with Duke of Malibu. It's awesome :)
I have been reciting the Malibu mantra for months. That maleficent Megs and Hapless would land there eventually. This is the Nonoo connection. She has been showing them around.

What happened ? Still waiting for these extraordinary ressources and info on Covid-19....
I can’t imagine company or a wealthy person could donate to their Foundation. They can’t be trusted.
I also confirm Daily Telegraph actively participate in their PR campaign.
After some unnecessary pieces (MM’s diet/hairdresser...), the newspaper was the 1st to report that paperwork regarding their new brand was filed in the US last month.
Peel back all the layers & you’re left with a pile of skin, and nothing else.

"educational materials"
Well I wonder that too, but when I questioned Meghan's educational chops were a long time ago, posters here jumped on me because they told ne how prestigious HER education at Northwestern was.

I wonder if it's supposed to be pronounced "Arche..." like in "archetype"?

That doesn't work for a lot of oppressed people, sex slaves, victims of molestation, victims of domestic violence, people in communist countries, COVID-19 patients, victims of intimidation, people in arranged marriages, the list is endless and not to be forgotten people who try to change things and are harmed for it (guess they should change to enjoy the harm, huh).
Therefore, Meghan Markle both qualifies as both a Narcissist Personality Disordered person, plus a a Psychopath, without empathy or concern for anyone's or anyone else's behavior or welfare. Period.
I have advanced degrees in abnormal psychological behavioral disorders, in addition in advanced work in clinical diagnosis. I have advanced degrees in Psychology, Counseling, Abnormal Psychology, plus clinical counseling with individuals with disorders. I know of which I am speaking.
Marie, I am so sorry you are disturbed by my diagnosis, but it stands as a profesional Dx. You wil just have to accept it as is, or suffer for your own misguided purposes.
Agreed.

On a separate note...its amazing how one drop of poison can spoil the whole milk! Sometimes to ignore is the best weapon to fight against immaturity.

>>>Frankly, Northwestern is a decent school 2but it’s not an Ivy for heaven’s sake,...<<<
I agree with your comments. I did go to a top school. UCLA (1 of top ten in my major in my year of graduation) and some Nutties put me down as UCLA not being on the level as Meghan's education.
I checked Instagram, and this is possibly. their new venture: @archewell.global
Sounds just like all of MMs word salad. It's a large site (links at bottom of page) as content is built out. Lots of areas of content, like "bullying"; who supports bullying? but no focus I can see. I just can't imagine what they are trying to do.
Can anyone show ONE real, substantive action they did with their other foundation?
Stay well, everyone. Will post more tomorrow. On my way to sleep.
you are on a roll tonight! Megs knows the word “action” in all, & every language.

It should say: maybe archfiend? archemerdecraycray?
It does seem like it's "Archewell", however. All of the msm (Telegraph, Express, DM, and the holy grails, People and EOnline, have it that way. Nasdaq, too:

From Wikipedia
pArche (/ˈɑːrki/; Ancient Greek: ἀρχή) is a Greek word with primary senses "beginning", "origin" or "source of action" (εξ’ ἀρχής: from the beginning, οr εξ’ ἀρχής λόγος: the original argument), and later "first principle" or "element". By extension, it may mean "first place, power", "method of government", "empire, realm", "authorities" (in plural: ἀρχαί), "command".[1] The first principle or element corresponds to the "ultimate underlying substance" and "ultimate undemonstrable principle".[2] In the philosophical language of the archaic period (8th to 6th century BC), arche (or archai) designates the source, origin or root of things that exist. In ancient Greek philosophy, Aristotle foregrounded the meaning of arche as the element or principle of a thing, which although undemonstrable and intangible in itself, provides the conditions of the possibility of that thing.[3]ossibility of that thing.
Please don’t leave. I’m a relative newcomer here, and I enjoy reading your posts very much (as well as those of many others).
This is where I really lost it while reading the Telegraph article:
The couple had not planned to launch details of the “non-profit” just yet, emphasising that they and the world were rightly focusing on the threat posed by coronavirus.
But after paperwork including the name was filed in the public domain in the US, and seen by this newspaper, they confirmed they will be launching under the name Archewell.
The Duke and Duchess told the Telegraph: "Like you, our focus is on supporting efforts to tackle the global Covid-19 pandemic but faced with this information coming to light, we felt compelled to share the story of how this came to be.

Waterfalls post on LSA - may have found something - see below
I wonder if this is theirs or will they take it from the person who has this name:
Nathaniel Robbins (@archewell) • Instagram photos and videos
And if this is not Meghan and Harry's instagram handle (and they take it from that person just like they took SussexRoyal), it shows, yet again, they didn't do their research. Or maybe they are going with something else.
Archewellnonprofit maybe? I'll check.
Edited to add:
Inspire the WORLD to ACTION (@archewellorg) • Instagram photos and videos
This one is following the royal family official account so maybe it is this one?
OMG, sorry had to edited again the Archewellorg instagram account is following the BritishArmy official instagram account. I think this is the one folks. (I find it really funny that they are following the British Army account. Is this Harry's way of blinking twice because he needs help?).

Darling, it wouldn't be so ridiculous if you didn't name the foundation after a baby which isn't even legally yours.
Oh, my good G-d, I am SO laughing!!!!
Oh, do I love it, :)
Quick new blog post:

Take a break. Enjoy some gardening websites.
Come back in late April or May when you're feeling a bit more relaxed. Your aliases will also enjoy the time off.

Archewell sounds like something a podiatrist would use.

You should hire a publisher. Your words are golden.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Okay, Nutties and Nuttiers, these last comments are Nutty's Golden Hits. I'm putting them here so that I can print this comment in its entirety and laugh at your wit and sense of fun. This really was rolling perfection:

I just kept scrolling and laughing, tears from laughing so hard. Thank you all.
And thank you, too, Unknown, for letting us know where you're coming from and confirming that, even as amateur bystanders, we haven't been barking up entirely the wrong tree, albeit in an `unjustified' manner.
We seem to be back on a more or less even keel now. That's good.
Magatha Mistie - you're dead right! Hildisvini is the Old Norse version. It is a hildr/hilda name. Apparently both Vikings and Saxons had fighting women, according to recent archaeology. A slightly embarrassing name for a Christian but I think appropriate here
`Archae-ology/archeology' - study of ancient/primitive things (all Greek-derived) as in archetype & archaic.
`Monarch' - literally `one ruler/leader' Greek again, similarly archangel, archbishop, archfiend.
`Archibald' Greek? Nope! Not according to my etymological dictionary.
Now regarded as somewhat comical, it was popular in Scotland a couple of generations back - it came into my husband's family from a marriage to a Thorburn, where it seems to have been a popular family name. I haven't worked out whether the notable bird illustrator is connected.
Sorry Megsy, you screwed up here.
According to my book, it comes from an Old Germanic name `Ercanbold' - `ercan' = true, `bald' = bold.
It appears to have been influenced by the Greek, by what I'd say was wishful thinking, an attempt, perhaps, at `gentrification' implying a Classical background rather than a barbaric origin among the tribes of the Teutonberg Forest, so hostile to the Romans. Otherwise known as false etymology.
Then there's Archie and Mehitabel - a new designation for archie and megsy (or do i mean harry and megsy, those human cockroaches snug as bugs in a rug in malibu/los angeles...
I can picture you riding through Tesco hunting for TP 😉

I don't want to waste my time researching, but is the kid's name "Archibald"? (It's not, but that IS what Archie's short for, right?) Well, that name doesn't come from the Greek. Maybe someone who DOES care to investigate, or has an OED to hand, or is Greek (better still, an ancient Greek!) can shine a light on this etymological skulduggery.
The whole schtick is about as genuine as her pregnancy.
Oh heck. I said I wasn't going to, but I went ahead and did a simple search:

LOL :) Oh Teasmade, I seriously doubt that Harry's First Wife is so versed in the classics that she'd pick that. Or you never know, I may be wrong.
* Jealousy seems a central MM reaction to events.
* Any Archie gain in media attention, MM will process as her own loss. Also, anything beyond a token loss of attention due to Archie, will not be permitted to continue
* Put to it, I think MM is capable of shutting down almost ALL channels of motherly love, affection and pride involving her growing son. Natural stuff, say, wanting to show Archie off, or interact with him at length, these very things will be avoided .. MM's 1st/only desire is to monopolize attention. Thus whole chunks of "human" stuff become useless ballast ..
* Looking back, Little Snow White was hardly a potential rival to the Queen
* I forecast even more of "less Archie"
