Can you explain Meghan’s Mirror? Does Kate have something like this? Is it actually a style watcher who knows everything or is she getting fed the info from JM or MM? She always has exactly what MM is wearing almost instantaneously. How is this not blatant merching and why is that ok? Is it not really true that they royals can’t accept loaners? Is that another protocol that doesn’t really exist?
MM is a copy of What Kate Wore and the other Kate fashion blogs. The owner also runs a Kate blog and she had interviewed Meghan as part of a blog business meet up or something like that. There’s a screenshot of an FB post she posted about it two or three years ago (sorry, I don’t have it, but maybe one of the other blogs does). As soon as the relationship with PH came out they “had a feeling that it was serious” and poured money into a new blog. Meghan had a “meeting with lawyers” around that time. Make of that what you will.
Everyone thinks they get their info from Jess. They are now saying that they get their info from Hello! Canada and I don’t think they realize that everyone knows that’s Jess. No one knows what the deal really is. It’s ridiculous and pitiful, but it is what it is.
KP has repeatedly said that they do not accept freebies or loaners. People have long suspected that they do get discounts. As far as I can tell, there is no law or rule applying to this. It seems to be just “protocol.” That likely means that Meghan and Harry are paying as much attention to it as they pay to the other “protocols.”
I used to get really excited about the merching, but now I’m all “LOLOL, nothing matters.” They did a car ad on their wedding day! Harry’s merching Givenchy and Club Monaco!! Their entire freaking existence is a big Soho House sponsorship!!!!!!!
These two tacky sunglasses-selling famewhoring rent-a-royals aren’t going to be reprimanded by anyone. All we can do is sit back, enjoy the show, and wait for the inevitable taxpayer-funded Transitions lenses ad to appear.
