If I’m being honest, I don’t always love every single thing the Duchess of Sussex wears. She has some great pieces and I like most of her stuff, but she has a few misses too. Breaking my silence! Anyway, my original point was that the one thing Meghan does really well all the time is accessorize. She’s great at knowing which earrings, bracelets, purses and shoes go with which outfit. That’s what I was reminded of when I glanced through Meghan’s latest outing:
meanwhile, in santa barbara, my sister meghan thee duchess has finally left the house. seen at a local farmer’s market with a ludicrously capacious amante bag and a bouquet of flowers to lay on the grave of her haters’ careers. pic.twitter.com/QNV6jCoREg

Prince Harry’s hostage went outside! She went to the Montecito farmer’s market. And I’m obsessed with her accessories. That bag is amazing and I adore her sandals. Her outfit is great too – it looks like a breezy summer dress with a white blouse as a cardi. In any case, the Mail – the outlet which bought these mega-exclusive photos – is of course clutching their pearls over Meghan being seen without Harry (!!) and in the presence of the legendary Guy Markle (her beagle). The Mail’s headline is: “Meghan Markle picks up fresh flowers and samples some honey at the Montecito Farmer’s Market without Harry and brings along beloved pet beagle instead – despite ‘no dog’ policy.” Oh, she had her well-behaved dog on a leash in public??? Burn the witch!!!
Meghan Markle broke cover on Friday to check out her local farmer’s market, days after her explosive Netflix docuseries with Prince Harry failed to score any Emmy nominations. The Duchess of Sussex was spotted stopping by the Montecito Farmer’s Market near the couple’s $14.7million mansion, but went without her husband, exclusive DailyMail.com photos show. The 41-year-old was instead accompanied by her security detail and one of her beloved pet beagles, despite the market’s rule prohibiting dogs.
Wearing a white, unbuttoned collared shirt over a camel-colored maxi dress, black flip flops, and sunglasses, the former actress went virtually undetected by locals as she went from tent to tent browsing various collections of goods. She picked up a bunch of fresh flowers which she then stashed in a large woven straw tote for her convenience as she continued shopping. At one point she also stopped to sample some honey from a vendor.
While Meghan largely managed to fly under the radar during her trip to the market, she was friendly and smiled politely at the handful of locals who did recognize her – as her security kept a watchful eye. The large bodyguard kept a safe distance from the duchess and minded her pooch while she looked around the market.
While I was looking for a tweet to embed in this post, I found a lot of bonkers tweets in which Meghan was accused of “setting up” these photos (she did not) and timing it specifically to steal Kate’s thunder at Wimbledon (lol) and there were a lot of salty tears about the size of the bag too. Like… have these people never been to a farmer’s market? Plenty of people stop by their local farmer’s market while they’re walking their dogs. Plenty of people bring big bags because few vendors keep plastic bags on hand. The funniest part, to me, is that the Mail bought the exclusive photos (I’m sure they cost a pretty penny) and then dropped them just before Kate arrived at Wimbledon.

- PEACEHAVEN, UNITED KINGDOM – OCTOBER 03: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex makes an official visit to the Joff Youth Centre in Peacehaven, Sussex on October 3, 2018 in Peacehaven, United Kingdom. The Duke and Duchess married on May 19th 2018 in Windsor and were conferred The Duke & Duchess of Sussex by The Queen.
I love her weekend style. Breezy, casual, chic. And, age appropriate by which I mean utterly herself.
Here in the SoCal if you are concerned about the environment we bring our own bags to the commercial and Farmers Markets… which tend to be a fair amount of us Californians. Out here many dogs are considered apart of our families, and so many places are doggy friendly. Not sure what’s going on with the British press.
That’s how we roll in NorCal too, but I was recently at an event in OC (without my reusable bags) and found the local Albertson’s didn’t even have paper bags on offer. Plastic only.
Yep, here in Southern California, farmers markets are everywhere. Obviously dogs aren’t allowed inside grocery stores (unless they’re certified service animals) but they are welcome on leashes in open air markets. The Fail is making a mountain out of a molehill and, once again, demonstrates how little they understand of California or American culture.
That’s how we roll in Virginia, except in my county all the vendors use compostable bags and no dogs are allowed and the policy is enforced.
The dog sign was not for the market MM visited, DF used that sign from another Cali market. It’s also obvious that the security held the dog in some shots
Here in central California, dogs are OFFICIALLY not allowed in farmers markets. However, it’s a policy that isn’t very often enforced, and no one complains unless the doggo is off-leash and obnoxious (i.e., lunging at folks, barking hysterically, etc.). Guy appears to be a well-behaved pupper.
Funny thing is Meghan went to her hometown Farmer Market were no such sign as dogs are not allowed was seen. The sign Jill showed in the daily fail was from the Santa Barbara Farmers Market. She was just trying to stear the heat up against Meghan, who didn’t do anything wrong. And by the way she looked gorgeous and relaxed. But every time one of them steps out alone, the idiot tabloids try to convince people there is trouble in paradise. Like one can’t go out on a nice trip alone, like a Farmers Market or go shopping for their kids clothing. Total ridiculous.
I don’t love the color of the dress, but she looks cool and comfortable and VERY appropriate.
Beautifully styled for summer. Meghan could give lessons in understated, casual chic. She nails it every time.
Meghan always gets it right. Her style is spot on. Meghan is beautiful. Kate is pretty but Meghan is stunning.
Is that Guy though or Mia?
Exactly! I think it looks like Mia. I believe Guy is smaller, plus he’s getting up in age too. Meg may not take Guy as far afield as often as she used to. Also, Guy’s front legs are slightly bowed from his former leg injuries. Mia’s legs are straighter.
^^ Right. I think it’s probably Mia. I absolutely love Guy, and I miss seeing him!
Love those flowers. What kind are they? And keep doin’ your thang, M. Maxin’ and relaxin’ in your $14.7 million dollar home that you own with your hubby and kids, pets, mama, and any friends you want to invite over, with Tyler Perry watching over you.
Hard to tell but they look sort of like godetia blossoms?
They sort of remind me of star gazer lilies, but look a bit looser. I love star gazers, but my asthma hates them.
that whole “outshining Kate” argument is so asinine and it does Kate no favors- especially when their own press described Meghan’s press coverage as a Lamborghini. Kate’s at an international event ffs! Accepting things is the first step 💅🏾
Right?! If your Wimbledon awards handing thunder can be stolen by a mom just out browsing a farmers market on the weekend, how much thunder could you really have had in the first place? How pathetic.
This. I live in LA, and I go to the farmers’ market every single Sunday morning, no matter what.
England, you need to move on, this is normal SoCal behavior, that doesn’t remotely impinge on your Britishness. Unless you want it to, which you are going for in this bullshit “article”.
I love how they get outraged about the “outshining” when THEY published the photos of Meghan! They could have waited until Wimbledon was over, but they chose to take that news cycle from Kate, then bitched and moaned about how it was Meghan’s fault.
Bingo Lorelei, The fail bought exclusive rights so THEY could have held the pics for a day or two. Sorry, not sorry, if Meghan walking her dog knocks Kate off the front page.
Oh, it’s the mummy of all backhanded defenses. “How dare this vibrant woman be living her best life while this symbolic milksop hands out trophies at a tennis game?! The humanity!”
I like this outfit. I’m not a fan of the oversize short sets she’s been wearing. I know what look she’s going for, but the shorts are always too big for her petite frame.
If she’d hire a stylist and ditch outfits that easily wrinkle that would help. I agree with the shorts as well she doesn’t really pull it off but they make her look big in the hips which contrast with her really slim ankles
OMG. wrinkles!! The horror. Ban the linen!! 🙂 She’s fine.
@poppedbubble I love her but the wrinkles make her outfits look really really terrible
Judging by how fast Meghan’s clothing/bags/shoes/jewelry/sunglasses sell out as soon as they are ID’d, I wonder why you @em think she needs a stylist? She’s a trendsetter based on her own taste and plenty of people like it, although as humans we are diverse so not everyone will all the time. She didn’t ask to be photographed here, either, but whenever she is papped running errands I’m always impressed by the high quality of her everyday clothes.
Then EM someone or something should’ve been done about Catherines 🥻 that she wore to the mens Wimbledon final that was clearly wrinkled even though she knew she’d be papped.
Also they want to make a big deal about harry yet no one says anything about William and Catherine was with each other at the family military event and Wimbledon and barely spoke to one another even though they were “together”
The “wrinkles” in Meghan’s outfit are from the fabric being fine, luxurious linen. It’s supposed to look like that.
Ironing it until it’s ‘wrinkle free’ is considered a bougie obsession, so I doubt any stylist worth their price would steer her away from linen.
While I don’t love everything she wears, she has a great eye for elegant fabric and she wears it really well.
How do you feel about the dress Kate wore yesterday? Her dress had a bunch of wrinkles. Wrinkles happen. Diana’s wedding dress was full of them.
Glad Meghan brought Guy with her to the market. A local said that the sign is more for them not being responsible for any accidents that happen with your dog. Your dog, your responsibility. It’s fine to bring pets.
I love linen, wrinkles be damned. Summer + heat = linen. I love wearing it because it cools me off. Meghan looks great and I do not agree that she needs a stylist. And I am sure for big events she may have a major fashion house consult with her before they dress her, but for a causal outing she looks fine.
It’s always… “I love Meghan” but …she should do this one thing then she would be perfect in my eyes 🙃🙃🙃
Eh. I think if she was showing up to big events in wrinkled clothes, I’d be like, “Meghan, girl, get it together.” But for walking around the farmers market, wrinkles are just fine.
Seriously, a stylist? Just so she doesn’t go out wrinkled? That’s what someone who is obsessed with appearances does. She’s running around minding her day to day business, she doesn’t have to look perfect all the time, that is exhausting. She’s a real person with a real life, she’s not some dress up doll for people to project their own issues on.
@Em — you’re really really scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one. I have linen shirts and trousers, they wrinkle the minute you step into a car. Get over yourself.
@em You’re suggesting she needs a stylist to go to a farmer’s market?? I’m lucky if I change out of my pyjamas and wear a bra to one, lol
Ditch linen in the spring and summer? And you think Meghan needs a stylist? LOL
We’re currently dealing with a heatwave here in California (finally). Any sane person will value comfort over style. Soz not soz.
I’m a big fan of her shorts style. I like the shorts with pleats look but thats my vibe. Not everyone’s into it but I am glad that look is around. It’s a struggle to find shorts that are not too small. I’m pear-shaped and waist gap is a thing. If it fits my waist, it’s tight and short on my thighs. So I appreciate that style. And again, her legs were made for shorts. Doria too.
The brown and pink shorts she wore looked like she could’ve gone down a size or two and still had the look she was going for. The denim shorts she wore to an outdoor event fit her much better.
I don’t agree about the stylist though. I love most of what she wears.
My *only* beef with Meg’s clothes game is the high-rise, too big in the legs style of shirts that she favors. Speaking as a fellow short-torso’d gal, high-rise pants and shorts aren’t something we can pull off.
If the higher waistband is attached to a skirt though? Meghan looks like a million bucks in a pencil skirt.
OMG, her wardrobe in Suits! She looks fantastic in those pencil skirts!
Some princesses wear everything skintight and others don’t. To each their own.
I definitely do not believe she needs to wear skin tight clothes. Especially in the California heat. The denim shorts I mentioned above were loose, but fit her naturally petite frame better imo.
I just want to add that I don’t mean to dunk on her. She’s the only famous person I follow accounts about on IG to find out what she wore. I wish I could afford a lot of what she wears. I’m currently eyeing a knock off of the olive green Barbour coat she has. I bought her signature Madewell hat (white with the black ribbon.)
Regarding the references to Kate in this comment thread- I think Kate looks best when she’s copying Meghan. Lol. Otherwise her style is not something I want to emulate.
She looked as beautiful as ever and I was happy to see her. Of course she has misses fashion-wise but so do we right? I love how her critics were all “Why is her bag so big and blah, blah, blah.” One usually brings a tote bag to the farmers market. Dumb asses.
I’m not sure what makes something a “miss.” I would consider something inappropriate for a specific occasion or something really ill-fitting as a “miss,” but not something that is not necessarily to my taste or liking.
As far as her “misses” go, I think she sometimes has some not great for/tailoring going on, but also her “hits” are so good it kind of raises the bar overall. Esp in comparison to Kate who has had very few really memorably amazing looks during her time in the spotlight (and lots of WTF). When Meghan’s outfit isn’t GREAT, it seems kind of out of character because she does so often get it really really right.
How is an iconic summer look a miss?
Evidently, it’s a health code violation to bring a dog into the farmer’s market. But if her bodyguard was holding Guy outside while she was shopping, that would be fine.
She always looks so easy breezy – when I go to the market, I look like I’ve just come from the town dump.
@Eurydice – What I found sinister about the whole bringing a dog to the farmers market debate was that the Fail used a picture from a completely different farmers market to labour their invalid point!
There’s also a picture of a guy walking by Meghan which “derangers” identified him as a bodyguard. Only for someone-else to tweet that the guy was in fact their PA!
I loved everything she wore to the market and checked out the bag and it was sold out!
That’s a great bag, but way too big for me! I’d be too tempted to fill it up! I love Meghan’s easy breezy style. And the DM writers are idiots. That dress is just below her knees, therefore it is NOT a maxi dress. OK, that’s just one of many dumb things they write, including the she’s bringing her dog! it’s not allowed! part.
I live in Colorado. Where there are more dogs per capita than children. By a wide margin. But we and some of our other western states have the same views about dogs
Dogs are in hair salons, farmers markets, clothing stores, restaurants – usually outside but not always – etc.
We actually have a wolf dog who lives in a town near me. He walks to meet his best friend at her job every day around noon. Any local that sees him on his walk usually make themselves his human escort so tourists don’t flip out. They walk him to the door, open it for him and he has a spot that he goes and lays down until her shift is done. Then they walk home together.
Anyway. Point is. Dogs are a whole different thing out here. And for the most part they are welcomed almost everywhere as long as their humans knkw how to behave and how to keep any untoward behavior in check.
I’m East Coast Massachusetts and there are dogs everywhere here, too. Not in the stores so much, but I’ve worked with many clients who bring their dogs to the office. It’s not so great when meetings are interrupted with “Niles! Stop peeing on the carpet, bad dog!!” It’s like having a toddler in the middle of the room, but they want to combine home life with work life and as long as they’re paying me, that’s cool.
@MoxyLady I love this! I’m glad the locals escort the wolf dog to its human’s job. That is adorable and lovely.
I’m in central Texas and it is doggone obsessed with taking dogs everywhere. Austin is especially dog friendly (like superduper dog friendly). I love meeting all the good doggos and love it when I’m allowed to give them some scritches and pets (I always ask permission first).
I’m on Long Island and dogs are everywhere here. People bring them into stores, restaurants, etc. Obviously they have to be leashed and well-behaved, but they are pretty much welcome. You can’t take them onto the beach when it’s crowded, only off-season and early morning hours. Otherwise it feels like you can take them everywhere, lol.
The sign at the market didn’t actually say dogs weren’t allowed. It said that vendors and the market itself were not liable if something happens with a dog. And that dogs must be on leashes. According to a woman who lives in the area and posted a video in response stated that most of the vendors even have treats for people’s dogs at their booths. It’s once again people making a mountain out of a molehill in regards to anything Meghan does.
If it’s a health code violation to bring dogs to a Farmer’s Market then people in NYC violate it all the time. If your dog is well behaved and doesn’t jump on the tables it’s fine. Lots or people take their dogs to outdoor farmers markets.
Exactly this. I’ve seen dogs at every farmers market I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to countless farmers markets in various states. The Venn diagram of people who like farmers markets and people who love dogs is pretty much a circle.
Seriously, the Union Square Farmers Market is basically right next to their dog park. Lots of people have to walk their dogs through the market just to get out of the park, ffs. And right on the other side of it is a giant Petco! (or at least there used to be).
That is so sketchy yet so unsurprising that the Fail used a photo from a different farmers market to try and make a point. JFC
Same for Chicago. No one cares. I saw someone walking their pot belly pig in a farmer’s market here once. She was a big hit. This is just the press creating bait, once again.
I live in Atlanta, dogs are everywhere and it’s normal. It most not be in the UK or elsewhere; however the picture that they used was from another farmers market that’s on the inside. As usual, she’s been gone for 3 years and they still lie and write untrue stories about her.
The sign they use is for the Santa Barbara farmers market and not the Montecito one.
So they can’t actually confirm if there is a no dog rule for an outdoor event. Which would be unusual in any case.
It turns out that wasn’t even her bodyguard. It was some man walking by.
Breaking news !! Meg goes to flea market with her dog. OMG they are so desperate for anything even a completely normal visit to a farmers market. She looks great and yes when I go to the farmers market I also bring a big bag to bring home my stuff. I hope she and her pet had a good time and found all they were looking for. Just Meg living her life there is no need for pearl clutching.
By bringing a large bag she is saving the environment from plastic bags. Thanks, Meghan!
Right?! Woman buys head of broccoli from local gardener, full story at five!
@susanCollins, I use a large bag when I get taken to my local market, it’s called being practical something the haters can’t understand! I do love Megan in her shorts as she always looks good in them and most things that she wears. In these pictures she looks relaxed, carefree and casually elegant. Isn’t it funny that the press and the poodles complain that she is trying to upstage Katykins, but THEY are the ones publishing the pictures. Stay happy and relaxed megs, and let them carry on bleating like the Royal sheep they are, ONE day soon they will all get sheared!
I admit “Woman Goes to the Flea Market with Dog” is a close second but, for my money, nothing beats the great BM story (years after she’d left their country) about how the “Sussexes’ Grass is So Green. Film at 11.” Actually, no. I just remembered the story about their having a Delaware corporation for their company. Uncanny! Outrageous. Who ever heard of such a thing (besides the millions in this country)?
I think that’s Mamma Mia.
Love Meghan’s chill vibe at the farmer’s market. Hate her getting papped though. I’ve never been to a farmer’s market where people don’t bring their dogs.
Right?!?
The dogs are half the appeal of a farmers market.
And like 80% of the vendors have a doggie with them. The other 20% are apologizing to the locals who came to see their dog but their dog wanted to play/ it’s too hot for them in the tent. Maybe next week. And everyone is sad until someone walks by with a dog and then everyone is happy again.
They show video of her walking the dog on the DF site story but, in that video she doesn’t appear to be inside the vendor area of the market. They describe the guard as staying a distance away and note the guard was caring for the dog while she shopped the market so my guess is that the dog wasn’t actually brought in the area(s) where dogs are prohibited because if it had been, they would show pictures of that instead of the video they did show
@Pottymouthpup: Yeah, what you say is true but why let facts get in the way of a good smear campaign, huh? At least that seems to be the DM’s motto.
Eh, in my city the farmer’s market is an absolute madhouse where you 100% should not bring a dog. It’s 30,000 people crowded around the capitol square with a narrow sidewalk for the strollers, wagons, and slow-AF people to meander about it in a counter clockwise direction shoulder-to-shoulder. It’s just bad news for the dog and when people do disregard the ‘no dogs’ rule, the dog always looks miserable and honestly it’s unsafe.
Now, if this is a wide open, lightly trafficked farmer’s market? – giver hell, as long as it’s on a hard leash and well behaved- More Dogs!
If it’s Madison you’re referring to, absolutely agree about the crowds. But just wanted to chime in about how much I miss that farmer’s market! Loved it. Lived there for a year before moving back east.
I am! I never go to the square anymore because it’s just too busy. They’ve FINALLY closed it to vehicle traffic so the vendors can expand into the street and the crowds have more room. I’ll get my spicy cheese bread at woodmans and warm it up at home thankyouverymuch. lol
SoCal is chock full of farmer’s markets, most organized within common area to be open alternate days of week. Many are open year-round, some only in summer. CA health code prohibits dogs and other animals, except for service animals, “in Certified Farmers’ Markets.” I will leave it to those super-critical wrinkle police to define the terms, “service animals,” “in” and “Certified Farmers’ Market,” amongst other terms, since those types of people tend to select themselves as official arbiters of what’s allowable 🙄🥱
Madison Wi?!?
I lived there for about 5 years! Hi all!
1000000% passed a farmers market there multiple times and each time went – nope. I can’t. Could not deal with the crowds. So stressful.
We moved to another college town later and its farmers markets were SO great. Huge open yet shaded areas. Multiple sites all within a short walk to the other. One for only flowers! I remember multiple times walking near the flower market -‘they were open multiple days a week – and vendors who were packing up gave me their flowers for free because they “wouldn’t keep”. I paid or tried to. Mostly people just said – come back and buy next week.
It was lovely.
Good Point…..
They didn’t mention the number of bathrooms!!
Also: we need to talk about Dan Wootton.
No bathrooms, but they did squeeze in no Emmy noms.
😁
Do I even want to know what Wooton did now?
You do not. He’s a scumbag.
Wootton – https://bylinetimes.com/2023/07/17/gb-news-star-dan-wootton-unmasked-in-cash-for-sexual-images-catfishing-scandal/
Well, well, well. Someone’s been a very naughty boy. I hope he burns for this one. There should be jail time involved.
Wootton is trending on twitter. It’s even worse than the Bylines article.
I hope she goes to Singapore with Harry for polo and also invictus as well.
She needs to be out more with her friends as well, the whole staying indoors thing hasn’t quite stopped the hate machine so what’s the point?
I want galas, games, weddings, polo etc
Fashion is a very great PR tool ( something keen understands), I get they want to be private and applaud them for keeping their kids private but if they want to be in the entertainment industry they need to be out more often, they’ve become really really boring
She’s fine. I hope she goes to what she wants to go to, whatever that may be.
Exactly…..
LOL, yeah, sure. Meghan was walking her dog and Kate was knocked out of the headlines. William just had an event where about 6 people came out to see him, and they looked like tourists.
I’m sure she’s out on a regular basis. Luckily for her she doesn’t get photographed most times. That’s the life that she and Harry wanted.
Why? If she’s able to support the things that she supports without hoopla why should she? I’m sure she also gets to see her friends and to do things that interest her, go to movies, go to dinner, birthday parties barbecues whatever, we just don’t see it all. Nor do we need to. If you support them and their causes, that should be enough. She shouldn’t have to shuck and jive and dance for it. It’s weird to me the way people don’t realize how much they sound like the British media when talking about a private citizen and how much they should see them or their kids or know what they’re doing.
@dee I don’t care about seeing their children, this is purely from a business perspective, they need to mingle publicly, make connections publicly to counteract and at least put some positivity into the shitstorm that is their newscycle. Even the most private celebrity ( eg beyonce ) you know does this. They need to be in the PR business esp if they’re putting out product for outsiders to consume.
@em they only need to do that if they are constantly trying to bring in new eyes which I’m not sure they are. They’ve said that their projects such as spare and a docuseries were regarding their past and that they’re looking forward, so I don’t know if what their plans going forward would have anything to do with actually having people purchase or view a product. If they’re moving in a philanthropy only space, then that’s where they need to be seen. At dinners, at fundraising events, and at private meetings, they don’t need to do Instagram reels, or TikTok videos for that. Fans want that, but not even all fans. I listen to Beyonce’s music because I enjoy it, and if I didn’t enjoy it I wouldn’t. It doesn’t have anything to do with her posting on social media, or anything else either you like something or you don’t. When they do have to do publicity for Invictus games, or Archetypes they do. Outside of that they don’t need to be seen more, you just want to see them more and know what they are doing. Own it.
@Em- So the past couple decades of both being born into connections (albeit different sorts) and then moving on to make and foster new ones count for nothing? Not saying they need to rest on their laurels. At the same time, a phone call will usually be all they need to make. Between this and the wrinkles on linen complaint, sounds like someone straight up sh@t on your cornflakes. 🙄
Harry and Meghan are adults, it’s their choice how they choose to live their lives.
Guess you’re going to have to look for something else to relieve your boredom.
Not just boring but “really really,” @Jan.
The last thing Meghan will ever be is boring.
But, you don’t know for a fact that she is staying in because you only see her when she’s papped or at an official event. I would imagine there are times they’re out without being papped. We didn’t know she was at Ellen’s wedding until she released the video. We only knew they were in Wyoming last year due to 2 nosey Karens who recognized them and sold the photos. In the docuseries, they visited Big Sur, the beach, had visits from friends and relatives which we now know after the fact. We probably know less than 1% of what’s going on with them which I think is great because we don’t need to know or see everything.
Why do you think she’s not going out with friends? I doubt she’s staying holed up in her montecito mansion 24/7. We just don’t see pics everytime she steps a foot off property (which is fine.)
I do wonder how much you get paid. Or is only showing up to say sh!t about the Sussexes a passion project for you?
She is great. She’s living her life on her terms. Going where she wants, how she wants.
If you don’t have the attention span to stay interested in people who work on a project out of the limelight then drop it in all its awesomeness …. I have some hard news for you. Have you heard about our lord and savior Beyoncé?
Agree. The “concern” is getting old. The very idea that H and M need advice from an anonymous poster on how to manage global stardom is just laughable.
‘They better get out more or the world will forget them!’ — said on a post in which she’s been papped and sold out a purse just going to the farmers market.
Moxy I have wondered that for a while! I’ve got daily fail reporter vibes. And all the concern trolling. 🤣🤣
Excellent question @Moxy. I’m reading Em’s posts and it’s coming across like someone who has a monetized youtube hate channel about Meghan. “I’m losing money because Meghan isn’t doing enough things for me to hate her on. And, why or why is she being private about her life when it’s $ for me to piss on her for doing public and possibly ‘Hollywood’ things.”.
Bitch better give me content to make my money. (I may have to get a job if she doesn’t).
Le sigh about being seen making public connections for something or another.
I remember May 2020. When the Fail revealed the Sussexes were staying at Tyler Perry’s home. It was all about how Oprah connected them with Tyler. Then we learned the private connection from May 2018.
Dear @Em,
Neither you nor the Fail, nor assorted trolls and etc., will EVAH! know the details of M’s movements, especially when it comes to her outings with her friends.
Nor the private family celebrations of the Sussexes and their friends and Found Family.
What you WILL see and hear about, are the synergies she’s now busy creating and solidifying between corporate entities and communities, “both local and global, online and offline,” that archewell uses their “unparalleled spotlight to uplift and unite.”
[Source: archewellDOTcom]
H&M have never had more privacy in all the years of their union than they do now. They will share what they wish to share and keep everything elses PRIVATE.
Folks, especially those on that sunken island over there, are just gonna have to learn to cope.
@ Em – here you go again. They’re not “trying to be *IN* the entertainment business”, they are in the philanthropy business and whatever entertainment events they attend are usually to receive awards for said philanthropy. She’s not a RHWOM (Real Housewife of Montecito) and she’s not doing the “whole staying indoors thing” AT ALL. Both she and Harry work hard at their endeavors, have a nice social life which, fortunately, they enjoy mostly unimpeded by a hoard of slavering paps. Your disdain for Meghan under the guise of concern trolling is as visible as the nose on my face.
@EM
Sounds like the only person that needs to get out more is you. Maybe you should look into going to more social functions and stop looking to Meghan to fill an obvious missing void.
No she doesn’t. How they’re doing things now is actually great. I think people need to stop expecting them to behave like they work for that family and are using that model for their non-working royal life. There are LOADS of people in the entertainment industry that you couldn’t even identify if your life depended on it, yet they manage to make moves, seal deals, etc without needed to put on a show. You don’t know what they’re doing and when, which is why there’s this ridiculous desire to have Harry & Meghan on display like they’re taxpayer funded.
It’s tiring at this point.
Hi Emily!!!!
I don’t get any feeling that they want to get into the entertainment industry, that is way off the mark.
Someone already outed their fake dog story.
The Dailyfail can’t help themselves, used a sign from Santa Barbara farmer’s market saying no dogs, to imply that Meghan thinks she is above the rules.
The sign at the Montecito farmer’s market, just welcome customers, nothing about dogs.
The tabloids keep forgetting that it is easy to check their lies instantly, and post pictures to prove they’re lying.
What’s with this “broke cover” sh*t that the DM and other British tabloids use? She went to the farmer’s market, that’s all. According to them she’s supposed to home devastated about Spotify and not getting an Emmy nomination for a docu-series that’s main aim was to counter the smear campaign that the tabloids and the Royal Family did on her and her husband.
Imagine if they used “broke cover” for any W or K appearance after 2-3 weeks unseen!
They’re going to say William and Kate have returned for their summer holidays.
I wonder if the next time we see Steve Martin, they’ll be saying he “broke cover” since Martin Short received an Emmy nomination and he didn’t. So, so stupid
The man besides Meghan was not her body guard, he was a shopper there also and was identified publicly by his employee. Secondly, the Monticeto Flea Market does not have a no dog policy. This picture of the sign was taken at the Santa Barbara Flea market while Meghan shopped at the Monticeto Flea Market. Another example of the gutter UK Daily fail trying to solicit hate for Meghan because she is living her best life while shopping and thriving.
Employer, he is a PA.
Too bad Keen McButtons can be outshone by Meghan going grocery shopping a few thousand miles away. Shows how utterly irrelevant she is.
I especially loved how the Derangers jumped on Guy being there, but while M was close to the food stalls, he was being handled by her security guy.
But I especially loved how the Derangers jumped on the whole story, seeing how much they tell us that M is irrelevant, that the kids were not there, that Harry wasn’t there (on a weekday), that she went shopping on purpose (!)…
🙄🤨😁🤣
Its crazy, if the derangers had any sense they would ignore Meghan and just big up Kate. If Meghan and her dog 5000 miles away can overshadow Kate, then that doesn’t say much for her.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we see a certain SIL at a Windsor farmers market at some point. She’s googling the ones close to her as we speak.
And that certain SIL will be in 5 inch stilettos, a £3000 new dress, way too much eye makeup, and her raggedy wiglets. Not to mention a tiny, non-functional purse.
I agree about the misses Kaiser and I wish she’d ditch the neutral colors and the shorts, she has great tan skin and would look really good in color and nice shoulders as well so more strapless or sleeveless dresses / jumpsuits/ vests / asymmetrical clothes.
She has a lot of potential fashion wise and I don’t know why she doesn’t utilize it she’s out of the royal bubble so there’s nothing like rules or protocol.
She doesn’t even need a stylist, there are great stylist pages on Instagram for free and many of them I have seen have picks that will really really look good on her.
If you followed Meghan prior to intersecting with Harry’s family, this is her signature style. As she mentioned in many interviews, she is a California girl and flip flops and cut off jeans is a part of the culture there she embraces. What woman does not have misses. If we are looking for perfection, based on Meghan’s past life , we will not find it from her. From what I have seen and read about her, she embraces sustainably and comfort in dressing, all while being beautiful with the “it” girl factor and good sound fashion sense. I applaud her living her truth fashion wise as well as personally.
She’s loafing around her neighbourhood in the neutrals, maybe she prefers brighter colours for work-type events?
Thank you JO .
I just can’t see what everyone is raving about with this look. To me, it looks like a brown paper bag with a shirt thrown over. I don’t care if it costs millions or if Coco Chanel came back from the grave to make it. It still looks like a plain brown grocery bag.
Sorry.
And she doesn’t care what anyone thinks. It’s a stylish look in my book, loose, linen shift with a linen shirt over the top. But again, Meghan doesn’t care what I think either. She’s shopping not on the red carpet.
Not everyone’s going to love her style but I think what people appreciate is that she stays true to what she likes and is always herself when she dresses. She has signature accessories and a clear pov in what she wears.
“Fashion potential”????? She’s at a frickin’ farmers’ market, not on a catwalk. I don’t get dressed to the nines when I’m doing the grocery run. Jeans, tee-shirt with a sweater or shirt, and flip-flops are my shopping outfits. I also carry a big bag as plastic bags are banned on Vancouver Island. She looks fine and totally appropriate. Leave her alone folks, dissing someone for what they wear when they’re not at an official event and just mooching around a market as a private citizen is really bad.
An extraordinarily odd post @Jo. ‘she has great tan skin’, WTF.
If a woman in another country in another time zone can steal your thunder just by stepping out of her house it shows how fragile your so call popularity is.
Let’s also remember the said woman was in her casual gear and not dressed up to the nines. Yet, still managed to make bigger headlines!
Living as normal a life as possible given their circumstance to me is living your truth. Meghan I am happy to witness is living the life she had prior to intersecting with Harry’s family. As she mentioned earlier, she was not a part of the tabloid culture before her marriage. While we may not see this couple as much as we would like, pretty sure they live a robust life within their community. Because we do not see them does not mean they are hiding. The beauty of living in secluded communities gives you this freedom. One of their smartest choices to me was moving to Santa Barbara in Monticeto, being surrounded by others who value their privacy as well.
Thank you! There’s no reason to expect that Meghan who lived a pretty low-key, carefree existence before Harry will all of a sudden want to be seen everywhere especially with 2 young children at home. That is the life the money-hungry, click-bait driven tabs projected on to her to further THEIR social-climbing, attention seeking narrative about her when as far as I can tell the only thing Meghan wanted from the UK is Harry.
I live in Montecito. The farmers market is 1 block long set up along the grass island (where dogs are allowed) and the vendors. And the sidewalk where dogs are welcome behind the vendors. She was pictures walking the dog close to the island and outside of the actual vendor booth. Non story.
Just wanted to say Monticello sounds lovely. Are y’all near a beach?
We moved to Colorado and I adore it. Love it. I’ve never felt more at home or more welcomed by community and strangers alike.
But damn I miss the ocean. Which is WILD because I live on a literal mountain and it’s so so beautiful. But the ocean ….
I want both! 😭😭😭
If KKKate can be outshined by a person halfway across the globe buying produce and flowers, that should tell people something about the relevance of the keen wiglet wearer.
Perfectly said. And I agree. Imagine what was said to her during her time as a working royal and benching her due to trying to make Kate shine. I have worked in a place where trying to exceed was frowned upon and it frustrated the heck out of me. I left to save my sanity. And to see Kate coddled and protected while Meghan was benched and treated horribly – the BaRF should get on their knees every Sunday at church and thank God H&M have not scorched the earth in retribution.
Love Meg. Glad she’s living her life on her own terms and not allowing herself to be used as content by supporters and haters alike. The commodification of this woman has become so normalised that people act as if not seeing her or her children as often they’d like needs some kind of correcting. I wish she’d tell more people to F OFF.
I also think it’s okay not to be a fan of her fashion because different strokes. But to suggest a woman whose innate style sells out items within hours of being seen in them needs a stylist, is a little absurd. That gave me a nice chuckle.
@SunRae
Excellent, no-nonsense, commonsensical points made!
She’s just so effortlessly beautiful and always looks comfortable and stylish at the same time. Now that is a purse!!! My opinion is if the kitchen sink can’t fit in it it’s not a real bag!
I just bought a similar purse to hers a few weeks ago and I love it! My plan was just to use it for the beach to carry towels etc, but now I take it out on regular days. It’s a large bag and I have room to carry so much stuff.
I love her style – so effortlessly chic and stylish. She looks so comfortable and relaxed. Makes me want to buy a big tote/shopping bag too.
I totally agree with you JK! I just love her style/vibe/aura.
That purse has been my favorite purchase this summer!
I swear. Every time I see her minimalist daily style that somehow looks so elevated and chic I’m like – I need to rethink my fashion choices.
And then I see green velvet flare pants with amazing embroidery down the entire sides and fall in love with them.
I think I want to be a maximist some days and a minimalist others. That’s a hard thing to bridge.
I love her effortlessly elegant style … not least because I wear linen dresses all summer long, and into the fall … and linen shirts as cardigans.
The Fail’s hatred for Meghan is pathological and so incredibly disturbing. Not to mention racist as hell.
It is comfortable wear..
Linen is breathable…..
The style is effortless….. It can be worn in many iterations…
I love her look here, because that’s what I prefer for myself. I’m fluffy, and will never look like Meghan, ever, but I love natural fabrics and loose dresses with big shirts and sandals for the summer. Especially in the hell that is southeastern Virginia in the summer. She looks flawless in my opinion, because we’re seeing the authentic Meg. I agree with others when I say she looks like she did in her life before meeting Harry, and she was stunning then. She’s stunning now, whether in casual dress or on a red carpet. She’s authentic, and that will always be In style, and it’s why we find her so relatable.
Okay I just smiled at how you called yourself fluffy @babz and for real, there’s always one piece of something Meghan is wearing that I will like. Although, usually, it’s more. Her style is authentically her whether we love all of it or not. I found a dupe of her brown Hermes shoes and am really happy bc I’d wanted a pair of chill brown summer sandals that were slightly nicer than flip flops. Someday, I want an oversized brown cuyana tote.
I love her easy style too, and some of the comments on this thread complaining about her too-casual/boring look and hiding away all the time are utterly ridiculous. The trolls are sneaking in here…
Meghan buys a bouquet of flowers even though her gardens at home are probably bursting with beautiful blooms. That’s showing support for the local vendors, at the grassroots level.
Yes! Support for local community!
Dressed in sustainable linen!
Carrying her own shopping bag!
And thanks to Celebitchy I saw her beauty without clicking “the daily fail.”
I love her outfit. The linen is suitable for casual California in the summer, and if it wrinkles, so be it, that’s part of the charm. I used to wear the “open shirt as cardigan” back in the day. Maybe I should try it again! And her big bag is for carrying things home. They probably charge you for bags in CA and even maybe frown at you a little if you ask for one. Where I am they charge you for grocery bags, so people bring their own totes. Not as cute as this, but good for the environment.
An eternity later, after 2 earthquakes, 3 hurricanes, a handful of tornadoes, and one minor apocalypse, there we go again: “the couple’s $14.7million mansion.”
That stale symphony coming out of a broken record. Sorry, just had to point it out.
They never get tired of belittling them, do they? The world is burning down around us – in some places, literally – but sure, let’s take another stab at someone who’s been called irrelevant. These people sicken me, and they are exhausting. I can only imagine how exhausted and fed up H & M are.
She is going to a farmers market. How is there anything to say about it?
Farmers Markets are popular, she was not causing any fuss, why are people even taking photo?
Let the woman live, fgs.
I’m so glad ludicrously capacious is part of our cultural lexicon now. And I wouldn’t want any other kinda bag.
I’m glad Meghan is now away from the toxic royal institution and thriving in California. Praying for the Sussexes continued wellbeing and financial independence. ✅
Every time I see the Duchess in the Fail, I try to put it into context, their daily PR attract a small unvaried amount of eye balls.
They need the advert dollars …..
So why not have the economic pests steal an image and attach a stupid story to said image…
The advert dollars will go up 50% every time.
Meghan is the living embodiment commodification of celebrity(although she is not a celebrity) and the audience that are interested in said celebrity…
Who is Guy Markle?
Is the beagle named Guy Markle?
I was thinking Guy Markle must be a cousin or something.
@heykay – Her beagle is Guy. He’s the little guy who rode in a car with the Queen just prior to H&M’s wedding.
Always love the duchess, no matter what she wears. She’s about so much more than her clothes, unlike other people who spend fortunes that don’t belong to them on ugly clothes. Love you, Princess Meghan!!!!
I love this look! Linen is so effortlessly chic and casual.
M’s entire look and energy is her own and perfect for a coastal town. I find her so beautiful and inspiring, and I hope she keeps living life on her own terms!
This article made me laugh twice.
Meghan left her house= “broke cover”
Nominated for a Hollywood Critics Association award= Not nominated for an Emmy
Meghan & pet existing at Montecito Farmers Market=Use the Santa Barbara Farmers Market No Dogs Allowed sign.
The only thing that wasn’t funny was the lie about No Dogs being allowed. Since the tabloids can’t lie and state she’s breaking royal protocol, they’ll just lie and state she’s breaking Montecito rules. 2 moments of levity aside the article is more of the same nonsense.
1. Lie in order to make Meghan look bad
2. Get caught lying through incompetence and end up only exposing themselves.
Rinse and Repeat
I love Meghan’s style.
Her style looks so effortless and easy to me.
Omg. And again they have to tell us the value of their home! But they never mention that W&K arrived via private helicopter that costs how much?!?!
“The funniest part, to me, is that the Mail bought the exclusive photos (I’m sure they cost a pretty penny) and then dropped them just before Kate arrived at Wimbledon.”
^^ Like Meghan said in the Oprah interview, they don’t report the news. They CREATE it.
Meghan likely visits said farmers market with regularity, but they decided that this would be the weekend to tell us about it ?
In any case that farmers market will now be insufferable as a tourist haunt….
I clicked on this article to see pics of Guy! (Ok, maybe they are on the instagram link, but I don’t click on *those*)
I’ve read in numerous places that the Montecito farmer’s market does not have a sign that says no dogs are allowed. From what I can see of the market, it is very small, and seems to take place near a residential neighbourhood. In the picture of Meghan and Guy, she is seen walking on a roadway or sidewalk with Guy on a leash. The sign is apparently from another farmer’s market entirely. So, spreading information as usual. However, I did see the word alleged in some headlines so they know they are misinforming. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Meghan was on her way to visit someone and stopped at the market to pick of some flowers. Guy is enjoying a one on one day with Meghan- something very rare since I’m sure since the arrival of Harry, two kids, and two other dogs.
It’s hot and linen is ideal. Why is she expected to be dressed in high heels and a bright figure hugging dress to go shopping ? As for the size of her bag.. words fail me the whole article is absolutely insane
In the middle of our famous heatwaves, no less. People just like to bitch.
I’ll never understand the comments about wrinkled clothing. That is absolutely one of the CHARMS of linen and one of the aspects which connoisseurs appreciate about this elegant fabric. It’s been worn for 1000’s of years, at least since ancient Egypt, and was often used in religious ceremonies. While discarded poly fast-fashions are dumped in massive landfills, linen is sustainable and will biodegrade. Our oceans and fish are contaminated with plastics and man-made fibers that become debris when artificial fabric is laundered and go into our water supply. Linen is supremely comfortable in warm weather, as it breathes. If you know, you know.
Yes! I own two pairs of white linen pants…different cuts/styles and my god they are so comfy and lovely. Wrinkled (which is inevitable) or not I always feel elegant in them.
Exactly, Sass, the ultimate summer fabric! Thank you for replying.
I hope she continues to feel safe, I love seeing her out ond about, all casual and relaxed, it makes my heart happy

Just be honest with yourself, Daily Mail. You are left with the dregs, in England, and an article about Meghan going to the MARKET is more thrilling than anything you have left.
Move the fuck on. Tell the truth about the royals you have in your country. Flailing your arms around because Meghan went to the M.A.R.K.E.T. make you all look fatally stupid. Fingers crossed.
The entire Salty Isle look very stupid and very ignorant-discussing someone going to the Farmer’s Market in their own neighborhood-and so what.
I am watching their reality show which is literally them just trying to tell their truth. And after listening to Spare, they did what they had to do. Team Harry and Meghan for sure. But I don’t hate on Will and Kate as his role is completely different than Harry’s and hers much different than Meghans. They are the future king and queen of England. Harry relates to Americans tell it like it is attitude so much better than beat around the bush.
Where in Willie’s “job description” does it say he is to attack his brother’s wife and destroy her mentally so she will commit suicide while pregnant? Because that what Will and his vile wife did to Meghan, using their press connections and their courtiers.
Will and Kate are terrible people and will therefore be a terrible king and queen.
