One of our last posts of 2023 was the Daily Mail’s (incorrect) estimate on how much money the Princess of Wales spent on clothing and accessories during the year. The Mail made a point of downplaying the cost of many of Kate’s bespoke outfits, and they correctly pointed out that Kate did wear some repeats, so those don’t “count.” The Mail never would have afforded the Duchess of Sussex the same luxury – when Meghan lived in the UK (and even in the years since), the Mail always lists the cost of Meghan’s jewelry and older pieces like Meghan is buying everything new for each event. Nevermind the fact that whatever Meghan spends on clothes and jewelry is none of anyone’s business at this point – it hasn’t been anyone’s business since early 2020, four years ago. British taxpayers aren’t “paying” for anything to do with Meghan whatsoever. Anyway, when I wrote about that Kate story, I actually had a moment of “wow, I can’t believe the Mail isn’t writing about Meghan’s clothing costs this year.” I’m a clown, I know. The Mail waited a few days before publishing this:
Accustomed to wearing designer clothing and exquisite jewels, the Duchess of Sussex is widely recognised for her luxurious style.
And this year was no exception as Meghan Markle, 42, showcased a wardrobe worth £86,612.16. It is £4,121.48 more than her 2022 total, which was £79,000.
Meanwhile, in 2021, she showcased outfits worth £58,388, and in 2020, the year she stepped back from her role as a senior royal, her closet totalled £44,188. However, in 2018 her clothing bill totalled almost half a million pounds (£406,662.55).
While a working member of the Royal Family, the cost of Meghan’s clothes for work engagements was covered by then-Prince Charles through the budget he gave the couple from the Duchy of Cornwall.
However, since the couple became financially independent, it is not clear who is picking up the bill for Meghan’s clothes, whether she pays full price or receives discounts from designers.
“Since the couple became financially independent, it is not clear who is picking up the bill for Meghan’s clothes…” Who do you think? The Daily Fail Brain Trust can’t figure it out!! Also: in 2018, Meghan was still wearing a lot of stuff from her pre-marriage wardrobe, and I think that “£406,662” figure probably includes her wedding gown and her reception dress. Anyway, just a little annual reminder that what Meghan wears is none of the Mail’s business anymore. Stick to adding up the costs of the left-behind Windsors’ wardrobes.

Charles has NEVER paid for Meghan’s clothes. When will the lie that he did, die?
Yup, he wanted her to keep working as an actor! She always pays her own way (even to furnish that hovel they used to live in) and still gets dragged by the garbage media.
Welp I see even in the new year the British rags can’t get clicks without using Meg’s name in some way. Here’s a clue British rags she pays for her clothes with the money she’s earned the taxpayers only pay for your leftovers. Move on.
Exactly! Charles exact words were there was “no money to pay for her” so the cost of her clothes was never anyone’s business. Even sadder than that tired lie is their threadbare excuse to report on her clothing. In 2018.. in 2020… Meghan left 4 yrs ago and they still use those 2 years she was a working royal to obsessively talk about her. In 2034 they’ll still lie about the costs of her clothes and claim it costs more or less than what she spent from 2018-2020. It so pathetic.
Never, when people have a vested interest in keeping it going, along with the other lies as to when financial support was cut off, Charles helped them pay for the new house, Charles gave them this, Charles did that…. lies lies lies.
Notice the claim that in 2018 her clothing bill was nearly £1/2 million? They included the cost of her wedding dress, her reception gown, and all her accessories THAT SHE PAID FOR HERSELF. They are trying to con people into thinking Charles paid.
Repeat after me: The Daily Fail is not considered a newspaper. It is a rag. Something you line your bin with. People who read it and quote it are to be mocked and pointed and laughed at.
Also, their feeble attempt to justify KHate’s 150K+ wardrobe spend when she did,what? 10 hours of work? 20? is showing how awful they are and how they have nothing left.
Maybe you should tell that to the people of England, who do read it as if a legitimate news source. The tabloid press is different there than, say, in the US. Here, the writers from The Enquirer would never be considered experts in any subject (except perhaps John Edwards’ affair), and they’d never be interviewed or quoted in other mainstream media like the “royal experts” from the Fail are. And they’d never be part of an official press pack, given access to high ranking officials the way the rota rats are.
Yes, WE get that they are gutter press and not to be taken seriously, but that doesn’t seem to hold true for a large portion of England.
And the people of England can’t escape the tabloids narratives. Even if they don’t pick up those rags, their reporters are on their more legitimate news channels weekly repeating their BS.
AND, their crap is picked up internationally because it gets syndicated and lots of media outlets simply copy and paste what they say to fill their royal news quota. I’ve lost track of how many times my family repeated some BS to me that they read.
Social media isn’t a newspaper, either. Yet people believe what they read there, too. And news outlets pick up whatever’s trending on social media and report that as news. At this point, people have to become their own investigative reporters in order to figure out what’s true.
Not a fan of that gold dress she is wearing, but DAMN that green strapless – she is rocking that dress. She looks stunning.
As far as a tally of the money spent, at least Meghan looks appropriate and wears her fashion. And they are private citizens so WHO CARES. Kate is held accountable for what she spends, and should be, because she is on the duchy’s books.
The Fail and Rota would love Meghan to be begging in rags so I hope they choke on her success. I’m sure they are just trying to normalize what the other lazy royals spend out of public funds, but I’m happy to see how her glamour and success shine through every one of these pictures, as well as a reminder of all her appearances this year at prestigious and impactful events.
It would be funny to see that backfire on them though. A thinking person would see that a royal can get by without public funds and wonder why the others couldn’t.
It’s honestly shocking to me that no one has connected those dots in any meaningful way, equality. I expected people to be up in arms at Kitty’s taxpayer funded wiglets and bespoke repeats of the exact same thing in different colors, but nope. Not even a slight whimper over her wearing TWO designer dresses at the Chubbly….both of which were covered by stupid robes.
I think those wicked writers at the Mail are losing their touch. They could have said that perhaps if the British taxpayers are not picking up the tab for Meghan’s wardrobe , then it must be prince Harry! Meghan is squandering her husband’s money on her clothes they should write in that awful rag they print.
That gutter rag should not be writing about Meghan at all. She lives in America and she nor her husband are dependent upon funding from that stolen wealth. This constant need to compare and contrast between that other woman is diabolical nonsense. Happy the Sussexes have zero interest in engaging with that thrash. And from reading Spare, I question whether Harry was provided funding for Meghan.
Don’t give them any ideas, Lolo. You know they read this site. Hi, Maureen!
Lolo, I suppose I know the point you’re trying to make, but it’s nonetheless masogynistic to assume that Meghan doesn’t have income exclusive of her husband’s earnings. She is not Kate. To ask who is picking up the tab for her clothes is simply offensive, especially considering what we now know about the reverse Cinderella aspect of her relationship with Harry.
At Lolo. I was surprised as well. Is it possible they miss her? I was expecting more venom. Seems they are trying to rewrite history and included her in the “business”. I guess they will blame Piers and Dan Wooton, say they was forced to be mean.
Even if she does get designer discounts ( which I hope she does), she still is the one that is paying for her clothes. They really hate that their lifestyle hasn’t changed much since leaving in 2020. They had such a hate boner over the idea that they would be poor, desperate, and living in squalor. That and the usual how dare a black woman be able to afford nice things is what motivates these articles. Plus they want to make it seem like the US taxpayers or even still the UK taxpayers are subsidizing them. Nope not happening.
They were “poor, desperate, and living in squalor” as full time royals in GB. The DM just can’t accept that they’re much better off now.
This exactly. They wanted them poor and desperate. Meanwhile four years later they live in a nicer house, in a nicer climate, appear only when they want to to/at events they want to be at, don’t need to show their kids to appease the press And both Meghan and Harry are looking sharp and rich AF. Oh yah and they look happy!!!
In all honesty, their lifestyle has drastically improved since they left The Firm. They live in a gorgeous mansion, work on their own passion projects, and are in charge of their own purse strings and destiny. All they do is win!
I wish all those cartoonists who drew pictures of Harry and Meghan working at McD’s or begging on the doorstep of BP would do some updated cartoons. Maybe of the entire English press begging on the streets of Montecito or showing how much money the “royal experts” have lost now that they only have the boring Leftover Royals to cover. Turnabout is fair play.
@BrassyRebel and Sussexwatcher You’re both right, their lives are so much better and now they’re actually getting credit for paying for everything themselves. It’s disgusting that they were already doing this with a smile on their face and being treated like crap and now they’re still mad because the fiction that they were being supported is gone and they can live in a nice home, wear nice clothes, and go to prestigious events without any influence of that family.
Dee, you’re so right about this. I think it’s truly what undergirds most of these articles. I believe that after Charles defunded the Sussexes during the Canada stay, he made the press aware of this fact. This was the plan to get them, or at least Harry, back. They were all gleeful, posting cartoons of Harry working at MacDonald’s, and Harry and Meghan sitting in their delapidated living room. There was even an article from that disgusting troll Emily Andrew, tallying the Sussexes’ expenses and debts, and concluding that they were broke. It really hurts them that to now be discovering how much they underestimated both Harry and Meghan individually, and as a couple.
But, because their enemies, which includes their own families, will not rest in their attempts to discredit them, Harry and Meghan have to be vigilant. They have no choice but to build their own empire that will rival, or even best the Monarchy. I have every confidence on Meghan’s about lilies and comment to excellence. It is Harry’s desire to reconcile with his hateful, undeserving family that concerns me.
@Proud Mary, they don’t need to rival or best the Monarchy (hypothetically speaking-they already have-imo). H&M are living their own lives outside of the BRF. They are not competing with the BRF – at all.imo They are sleeping peacefully underneath California trees and lovely smells from their flower/herb gardens. They are seasoned and happy.
Meghan should get every discount every with her wearing things sells out.
I’m entertained that the BM wants to focus on, lol, the cost of Meghan’s clothes, instead of……..the disappearance of Dan Wootton and the cost of his victims lives with his debauchery. And Christian Jones, Callum Stephens, Will of Peggington.
The attitude of some that blacks aren’t supposed to have nice things is real. My grandfather, who was a talented carpenter and mason, built his house in the 1950’s (in the deep south) a bit toned down and ‘shabby’ as not to arouse envy. Things aren’t as blatant today but the thread of that sentiment still exists, unfortunately.
Just me–cosign a thousand times over. Racists just have to believe POC are on welfare, or dealing, or hooking–or somehow, someway gaming the system. They can’t accept that we achieve and earn just like (and often better) than they do. During my corporate years, I was the only WOC in the department, and if I had a buck for every time someone asked how much my vacation cost or was annoyed my new (Army-Navy bought) leather coat looked like one they had just bought, I’d be richer than Warren Buffet.🤮🤬 It is an insidious way to pick at POC’s self-esteem and make them feel they aren’t worthy of nice things. Props to Meghan for ignoring this crap.
Cosigning too! Early 80s when i too was only WOC in my corporate office, a colleague used to ask practically everyday about everything I wore, “Is that new?”
As always, the Fail can fcuk off. Even before marriage, Harry was told there was no money for his soon-to-be wife as she should keep acting. Even when working royals, Meghan was wearing her own old clothes and jewelry or paying for her clothes herself. Even when a new bride, Meghan was furnishing NottCott. Even when renovating and furnishing a property they DIDN’T EVEN OWN, Meghan has to pay for the fixtures herself. And even when receiving “gifts” from the queen, Meghan had to reimburse the crown.
And nevermind that everything and anything she wears NOW is none of their GD business (and never was)!
So the fcuking Daily Fail can fcuk right off into the depths of hell. Where they belong.
“Since the couple became financially independent, it is not clear who is picking up the bill for Meghan’s clothes…”
Because there must be someone, right? There is no way a woman pays for her own shit, there must be a man giving her an allowance.
This sentence alone riled me up so bad. How insulting, condescending. Just because the adults in the BRF stand in line with their palms out for an allowan e like children, it doesn’t mean there’s no other way.
I found myself laughing at that sentence because “financially independent ” isn’t the slam they think it is. It’s acknowledgement that Meghan is doing just fine without the RF and BM. And “it’s not clear…” just means they don’t know – like how they don’t know anything about Archie and Lili, or anything else about the Sussexes’ lives.
The tabloids are stuck having to parse info from analyzing the few photos they have and then use that same info over and over in different articles. Meghan wore a dress – how dare she wear a dress, how much did she pay for the dress, how dare she pay that much, etc, etc. It’s the tabloids who are financially dependent.
The financial records indicate that Meghan was paying for her own clothes as a working royal anyway. The DM needs to focus on Kate and Sophie rather than Meghan.
As they say, they have no idea what she is comped by companies. She could also be leasing dresses. Even if she’s paying full price it’s not anyone’s business but theirs. Interesting that they never do Cam or Sophie in this assessment. Wouldn’t they be more of public interest than Meghan? What they really want is to repeat the lie that KC spent half a mil on her clothing.
Meghan uses her credit card to pay for her stuff the same as the rest of us do. Everyone acts like it’s some great mystery how she gets her clothes. Before meeting Harry, she had designer friends in the fashion industry, earned minimum $50k/episode of Suits. She’s not exclusive to any brands so assume she’s shopping like most of us. Yes she has perks with her status but so do a lot of celebrities. Trust her clothing costs are not straining her budget and she buys her own stuff.
The UK taxpayers pay NOTHING for Duchess Meghan’s wardrobe. She pays her own way. It’s nobody’s business what the costs are because the taxpayers no longer have a claim to Meghan. She isn’t a runaway slave who must be returned and hobbled to make an example.
It’s way past time for the rota and the Left-Behind royals to accept and acknowledge the fact that they have no more power over the Sussexes.
$1.00 or $1000 . British media B-es need to quit this crap . Meghan has always being paying for her own clothes so STFU about her clothing cost.
Yeah, she’s always been a grown ass adult, paying her own way in the world, so this is just who she is. Shut the fuck up with who is paying for her clothes, you bitter hags.
Predictable noise from the fail.
@Jais – exactly. Yet they’re saying nothing about Meghan being a part owner/adviser for Clver who have just secured a deal to sell their products in Target (one of the major US retail stores.) With a deal like that Meghan can squander as much money as she wants on clothes and still have change. It’s a more lucrative deal than the one Ma Middleton struck up in the US which received umpteen column inches in the Fail and yet Party Pieces still went bankrupt!
This news makes me very happy for Clver Blends and Meghan. Good for them, I hope they remain a success for years.
The Rota’s obsession with Meghan is sick and scary at the same time.
How ‘good’ to see that the Fail can’t let go, even after all this time and two court losses.
Meghan is like catnip to them, any excuse they can find to mention her in order to distract from the awful, dystopian British politics that destroys the society.
There’s a current Home Secretary they could report on who joked about spiking drinks with rape drugs, and still is in office, being only the latest instance of politicians who are completely tone-deaf and out of touch with reality. Or the fact that the House of Commons ordered £ 90,000/$ 114,000/€ 104,000 worth of champagne last year, via a FoI request made by The Guardian, while the taxpayers picked up the tab… Cost of living crisis where, malnourished kids where?
Omg those numbers are so scandalous. I don’t understand why people are so focused on Meghan instead of asking for accountability from their PM and Royal Family.
I’m so happy for them that they left, they would have never stopped “feeding them to the wolves” to distract from all the BS that is going on.
Rich successful woman wears nice clothes, some of which are fairly expensive. What a scandal!!!
Huge eyeroll at the question of “who is picking up the tab for her clothes?!!?!?!” She’s buying her own clothes, TYVM. And if she gets anything comped or discounted – whatever, that’s her business.
“Who’s picking up the tab for her clothes?” Well I hope it’s from the money she received for defeating the daily fail TWICE in court.
But I think it’s even more than that. The Fail asked, since they’ve become “financially independent” who is picking up the tab for Meghan’s clothes? Well, in the US, financially independent people take care of that themselves. So, that question was asked and answered, and if the BM doesn’t understand that concept that would be another reason why they should abstain from writing about Meghan.
Whenever Black women are financially successful, the reactions are predictable: resentment of their success and envy/anger at any display of their wealth. A rich, well dressed woman of color (especially of Black heritage) disturbs many of the stereotypes that racist whites erect around Black people. They WANT us to be (and stay) poor and any evidence to the contrary spoils the narrative that they have created to make their racist abuse seem reasonable and palatable.
There’s a nasty sexual undertone to this kind of crap–especially when it comes to Meghan. It’s as if WOC are actually “kept women” who are “flaunting their ill-gotten gains” before truly virtuous women. 🤮
Agreed, especially when it comes to Black women married to Caucasian men – the narrative often takes an ugly sexual tone. The woman has either seduced and trapped him with her “exotic” sexual prowess, or the white man has swooped in and saved her from herself or her circumstances.
In Meghan’s case, the preferred media stance in the UK is that Meghan is a dusky vixen whose sexual temptations have brainwashed and trapped Harry…yet at the same time, this clever, attractive, capable woman would be nothing without him.
It shows how deeply, psychologically disturbing the fact that not all Black people are destitute (or criminals) is to many white folks. It’s an assault on all the effed-up philosophies they hold holy. They have to create “whore” and “kept woman” implications to placate themselves and other haters.
Relatedly, this twisted thinking is why half the country hated Obama and voted for Trump. It’s one of history’s great unfunny ironies that for the longest time, racist and concern-troll whites used to get away with the “if only Negroes would…” game. If only we’d get educated. If only we’d go to college. If only we’d learn manners so we could at least comport ourselves less like animals. If only we’d quit thieving/hoe-in/dealing, etc. etc. and get jobs so we wouldn’t be poor. It only we did all these things, we would prove ourselves worthy of…whatever new goalpost these folks wanted to throw in front of us. Well, Obama disproved, destroyed, and sailed over all those goalposts. He was everything we were “supposed” to be–and it freaked racist America out. Obama proved this “if only” mess was just another obstacle put in the way, an excuse not to respect POC. Meghan is proving the same thing, and these folks can. Not. Deal.
Pocket watching and outright lying on Duchess Meghan to start the new year! How much money have they made off this oft repeated lie?
The BM are consistent in style stalking Meghan but she does have great style. They’re still lying about C-Rex funding her wardrobe while she was there and trying to imply that the RF is still funding her wardrobe, as if she doesn’t have her own money and a loving husband as viable and likely options. I guess C-Rex needs some positive press after his tone deaf Xmas message so this lie might help him.
THIS 💯
OMFG This is so bloody predictable from this rag, another scandal about to engulf Andrew, so out they come with this sht.
Isn’t it funny (not) that this appears on the same day as it comes out that the paedo prince only escaped another court case because the poor woman was out of time!, and Epsteins little black books are about to drop!
The mail is toilet paper for hamsters and Guinea pigs, nothing more, it’s the only use you can possibly give it, because a newspaper it is not. So maybe we should educate them, Charles DID NOT pay for Megan’s wardrobe, working Royal or otherwise FACT.
Harry had to shop in the sales because his father is a scum bucket FACT.
Megan paid for furniture in the Royal hovel they were given as accommodation FACT.
AND what Megan wears or doesn’t wear has sweet fk all to do with anyone in this shitty, toxic little island.
Her clothes, her jewelry, her shoes, all bought and paid for by her or her husband.
Notice I didn’t include hair, because unlike inaction barbie, Megan doesn’t have to “buy” her hair, her beautiful locks are all her own , not courtesy of “wigs are us” or Billy boys wallet.
And the cost of Megan’s clothes aren’t pilfered from tax payers pockets or dead men’s shrouds.
Harry shares in autobiography that Meghan paid for her clothing, including her wedding gown. He said that Charles told him — “there’s not enough money to go around” because he was “already having to pay” for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 40.
You know why I belive Harry? Because there was no denial from those wretched people.
Whatever Harry and Meghan do draws in traffic to their disgusting tabloid rags. More so Meghan, that’s why they love counting their coins. F!cking losers.
Also, there was minimal difference in Charles’ spending on his sons after Meghan married. The Duchy financial reports showed that he spent about the same pre meghan as post meghan. Do we think he started giving W&K less money? No. He just didn’t do anything to provide for Meghan.
This! The financial reports show that there was no reduced spending once Harry and Meghan left. There is nothing to show that money was spent on her clothing.
Wow, I missed this detail. JFC.
@girl_ninja – Charles saying he did not have money to pa for Harry and Meghan was another “speak” telling Harry that he was / would be on his own if he went ahead with getting married to Meghan – He was basically saying that he did not approve of Harry getting married to Meghan.
why do I say that? This is a man who at that time was in charge of the Duchy of Cornwall & had £1 billion at his disposal and yet he could not afford the upkeep of his son and wife? How come that was not the case for the other working members of the royal family? He was obviously trying to hint at the fact that MM was not welcomed. They wanted to be in a position where they were in control of whom Harry marry so that they could control the narrative. Meghan was not a choice they approved of . It’s almost a miracle that he did actually end up marrying Meghan.
I agree with you that it was a sign from Charles that Meghan wasn’t welcome, but Charles didn’t have a billion at his disposal at the time. He had his income from the duchy which was significant and he certainly could have afforded to support Meghan, but the wealth he has now is far greater. And as Duke of Cornwall, he was only supporting William and Kate and then supposedly Harry and Meghan – he wasn’t supporting the other working members of the royal family.
@jemmy, Agreed! They definitely didn’t want Harry to wed the biracial American. But disallowing this marriage would have been far too obvious a racially motivated decision, one the Queen would not have wanted to explain.
Besides, Harry and Meghan would have wed, with or without royal consent.
I think Charles wanted to separate them so he talked about her going back to work in the USA or Canada. It would separate the couple to leave Charles and William to encourage harry to divorce Meghan
Yet the RF are billionaires. Sure.
@girl_ninja, it’s one of the things I keep circling back to. Charles telling Harry there wouldn’t be money to support Meghan (and hypothetical H&M’s children). Harry even said in SPARE that Meghan doesn’t eat much and could make her own clothes. LOL, the BRF is a f*cking dream/Cinderella story. Nightmare more like. Harry’s sh#thole blood brother telling him it may never happen for him. Who the EFF says that to their sibling? Not loving siblings I know.
Sorry, ol’ boy, it may not happen for you ever. You’re only in your earlier thirties but in case you didn’t have your own doubts, as your “loving” brother, IT MAY NOT EVER HAPPEN. I’m so angered that a sibling, much less a future king, told their brother that. It’s almost as if that was the whole plan for the Firm’s future for Harry. Alone. It’s as if, William &co. were afraid of Harry finding happiness.
How dare he fall in love with someone that loved him back? How dare he fall in love with an AMERICAN WOMAN OF COLOR that fell in love with him too? How dare Harry brings an intelligent WOC, also American, that emulates everything the BRF pretends to be About!
How dare Harry brings an intelligent WOC into the Firm! Someone, through her extensive life experiences internationally, runs circles around us and is isn’t an @sslicker. She just wants to work and do good.
Every time I see her in that black Banana Republic shirt dress, I have to comment that I owned that dress before Meghan did. I’m very proud of this fact and will mention this every single time that photo is posted. I copykeen Meghan more than Kate does, if you can imagine that, and I like to think this that this one time Meghan copied me,
Congratulations:)
Good job. You’re obviously a person of taste and style.
@Bookie: I bought that dress after I saw M. wearing it.
I wore it two weeks ago at a Christmas party & was complimented on it again and again. It was wonderful. 🙂
It’s lovely. I’ve got one just like it but I’m a pale redhead
These turds. Everything everyone just said. When will these assclowns leave lady alone? They are so obsessed with the fact that she moved on- she doesn’t need them and she never did. It’s so disturbing how agitated they are about this.
What I learned over the last few years is Black Lives Matter UNTIL:
1) A Black woman marries a prince;
2) A Black woman plays a fictional Disney character in a movie;
3) A Black woman who is Vice President of her country buys expensive cookware WITH HER MONEY;
4) A Black woman buys expensive clothes with her damn money;
5) A Black woman shows up a mediocre basic White one – outshining her in public speaking, posture, dress code, presence, star quality, personality, connecting with others, charisma, and so on;
6) A Black woman is out in public SMILING – shoot that’s up there with CLOSING YOUR OWN DOOR! FFS when will this crime spree end?
7) A Black pregnant woman glows and touches her stomach;
8) A Black woman wins and Oscar and details her struggles in her speech – so some basic bitch on a soap opera can take offense and drunkenly Whitesplain her experiences on Twitter;
9) two Black women sports icons are in a room with a trifling a-hole who can’t accept an award without taking them down a peg;
etc, etc, etc. Move on Daily Mail! She doesn’t want you! STOP LEAVING NOTES IN HER LOCKER WHEN SHE’S MADE IT CLEAR SHE DOESN’T WANT TO GO TO THE DANCE WITH YOU.
All of this! Whether they would care to admit it or not, those at the Daily Fail and their supporters were gnashing their teeth and tearing at their clothes when that Black Woman deigned to join the ranks of the royal family. It truly bothers them that Meghan exceeded their beliefs about the places a black person is allowed to be in – including, their station in life.
You are so right Incognito! That she was 1000% better at the job than the people BORN INTO THIS is also something they can’t handle. This is why you don’t tell mediocre, basic bitches that they are supermodels! One day they will come across a real one and choke to death on their own venom/jealousy.
@Side Eye, ALL. OF. THIS. ☝🏾💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you Beverley. You’re one of my favorites here! Happy New Year!
“A Black woman wins and Oscar and details her struggles in her speech – so some basic bitch on a soap opera can take offense and drunkenly Whitesplain her experiences on Twitter”
Yipes, who was the Oscar-winner? I hate to think decrepitude is creeping up on me, but this isn’t ringing a bell. Thanks!
Hi Deering. The Black woman who won the Oscar (or sorry was it a Golden Globe I know she has both) was Viola Davis. I believe this happened at the globes cause the soap opera chick was there and went on a drunken Twitter rant about how Viola has never been discriminated against – because SHE WOULD KNOW (insert all the eye roll emojis)
SIde Eye–thanks! Hoo, boy…some idiots…🙄
Amazing and spot on post @SIde Eye.
“6) A Black woman is out in public SMILING – shoot that’s up there with CLOSING YOUR OWN DOOR! FFS when will this crime spree end?” Dead.
‘when will this crime spree end?’. It’s a sad state of affairs when the list “could” be much longer per the BM. Let’s not forget Meghan’s criminal act of eating avocado toast! The Black woman, alone, caused something or another. Eating them made the white duchasses’s skin glow. Awesome.
The Black woman stays behind with her children while her husband goes to the Super Bowl with his cousin. Per, one especially deranged commentator of the royals, the Black woman was drawing attention to herself by not going to the SB. While, anytime the white one doesn’t go somewhere, it’ because “she’s caring for the children” or whatever inane explanation.
A white woman was being a selfish, heartless, and thoughtless b*tch before the Black woman’s wedding. Somehow, it’s the Black woman’s fault? Eff them all and the BM have zero reasoning to attach $ to Meghan’s clothing. SHE IS NOT BEING PUBLICALLY FUNDED IN ANY F&CKIN’ COUNTRY.
Agreed, all of you have wrapped up this bullshit brilliantly.
Great post Agreatreckoning. Amen! Yes I forgot about the eating avocado lol – it’s up there with Obama’s crime of liking arugula!!!! Like how dare they eat healthy! That’s the exclusive preserve of White folks! No kale for us Black people!!! I think at one point Buzzfeed did a great comparison of how the BM treats Meghan compared to Kate when they are doing the exact same things. And they have the nerve to be salty when Meghan and Harry took their children and bounced. And thank you Christine! Happy New Year
What everyone else has said!! Meghan is a private citizen, whose finances are the sole business of her and her husband.
It really does make the rota furious that she is thriving. Let them choke on their fury, I say.
The weird thing is that since the Sussex’s have not made any “news” lately, the BM is now writing articles making predictions for 2024 that are coming from astrologists!! As if they are real “experts” and even remotely accurate!
That is serious desperation, as is totaling up everyone’s wardrobe costs!!
Well I looked at a picture of Harriet Johnstone (Daily Fail writer of this piece) and she is EXACTLY what I imagined her to look like. A bloated, pale potato with greasy hair. Perhaps we can all comment on her style – oh wait.
As an aside, recently my in laws (who are Trumpers) visited and the BRF came up. I was SHOCKED when my MIL said “I can’t pretend to know all the details, but what’s happened in that family with the brothers is very sad.” Then she paused and continued, “they did not protect Meghan, and Harry did his job as her husband. Hopefully one day they’ll see that.” I was so surprised to hear this. In my experience most Trump supporters are not Meghan fans.
It’s nice everyone is on the same page, I came in here to write ” are they funding any of this”. Tis none of their business what her wardrobe is. Now, I maybe curious about labels -smiley face- but I feel a different magazine should cover it.
Whatever Meghan is spending on her wardrobe is her business. It’s not like her wardrobe is taxpayer funded. I guess they got tired of reporting the cost of M & H’s house in every article about them so they need to crow about their other expenses.
For all we know, she rents her wardrobe. That is definitely eco-friendly.
