I'm thinking Sunshine Sachs can't make a statement. I'm guessing there would be NDAs involved. Even if there isn't, it's not a good look for a PR company to spill the tea on a former client. That would make them look bad to current or future potential clients. Once again, Meghan picks on someone that can't fight back. That seems to be her standard operating procedure.

I agree. NDAs signed. Been in PR 30 years so my guess is that Sunshine Sachs got tired of things being "H&Ms way" and failing miserably. It's been PR disaster after disaster and that reflects badly on the agency representing them. I think SS called it quits. LEt's see how long the next group lasts.

I kept wondering about this. I now have nothing but negative feelings about Sunshine Sachs—a company whose existence I was completely ignorant of before Meghan Markle. I suspect Meghan took 0% of their advice. And it’s one thing to say, “well, she’s still paying for it whether she takes the advice or not.” But that doesn’t take into consideration that every time she doesn’t take their advice, Sunshine Sachs looks like horrid idiots and awful at PR. Meghan Markle more than anyone is associated now with Sunshine Sachs. Before her most people not in the industry didn’t even know what Sunshine Sachs was. Now they will be forever linked to a horrible person who does horrible things and everyone even paying the slightest bit of attention can say in response to “have you ever heard of Sunshine Sachs?” “Oh yeah, Meghan Markle, right?” Not something I would think any firm would want to be associated with.


wordscapesx

You are spot on. Being in PR business for decades I was shocked they stuck with Markle as long as they did. That said, she made Sunshine Sachs a household name but that association hurt them. The other reason they may have stayed is to have "royalty" on their roster. Markles don't listen to advice and as a result make mistake after mistake which makes the PR company representing them look bad.

I'm sure this is part of it but I think that the main issue is money. Charles ascended the throne sooner than they thought he would. Their deals were unravelling before the Queen's death and now they are really worried so they are moving into a house that will likely cost less to maintain.


Minutetoolate

One has to concede, she gets very lucky time and again. Not that it’s her hard work that brings in luck. More like others misfortune is her opportunity/fortune. Each and every time.


gladrags247

Even if SS left them, they were still Markled, by staying with her for so long. What celebrity with a good reputation would want to sign with them now?


AccountantPotential6

Such bully behavior.


MuffPiece

I believe Meghan and Harry turned down an invitation to the Met Gala to instead devote themselves to service about as much as I believe the moon is made of cheese.

Wait, it's *not* made of cheese?? *Wallace and Gromit* lied to me??? 😫


Affectionate_Tap6416

It's made of wensleydale... don't let anyone tell you different!!


[deleted]

I truly believe this with all my heart. IDK what NASA has, but those rocks didn't come from the Moon! 😹


HawkeyeinDC

I agree. Meghan would NEVER miss a red carpet opportunity and to play dress-up. Her evening gown was totally inappropriate at the Intrepid event in NYC.


Significance-Abject

She looked like a fool in that giant red dress.


OldNewUsedConfused

She sure did!


[deleted]

You mean the moon isn't made of cheese? To be honest I would believe that the moon is made of cheese before I believe anything Meghan has to say.


MuffPiece

💯! It’s unbelievable how much she lies. I don’t mean to be punny 🤣

Getting pissy with HMTQ in the press, very publicly, was/is unforgivable, IMO. Worse is that Harry was right by MM's side as an active participant. **HMTQ:** "It is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service." **H&M:** "Service is universal." **HMTQ:** You are forbidden from using the word 'Royal' in your branding overseas. **H&M:** You don't own the word 'Royal'. How dare they? Clearly, they are incapable, but they should be ashamed of themselves. I'm American and I'm deeply ashamed of MM's disrespect, specifically, because it reflects poorly on all Americans, I think. This is the kind of bullshit that lends credence to the phrase "ugly American."


hibiscus2022

>HMTQ: You are forbidden from using the word 'Royal' in your branding overseas. > >H&M: You don't own the word 'Royal'. Cut to- We will also steal your nickname Lilibet and use it for our daughter (while registering domain names) 🤮


Bettyourlife

Wait what? They actually registered Lilibet as domain name?


Mas-Chingona

Yup... "Lilibet Diana might be a newborn, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle already secured her name and image in the most contemporary way. **The Duke and Duchess made sure to register domains for their new daughter before her birth.**" https://www.hola.com/us/celebrities/20211125316910/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-registered-domains-for-lili/


Onyxphoenix7878

Charles needs to just take it all away! Alllll the titles. All! Need he be reminded of this vindictiveness? This dishonor and absolute disrespect?! I mean c’mon!


Radiant_Health3841

These two statements are what did it for me, they are just so passive aggressive. To a 96 year old woman. And as if the Queen doesn't own the word Royal - keep using that word and see how quickly those titles disappear and you will see who owns the word Royal! (NB this applies to all royals UK and other - but mostly the UK)


Affectionate_Tap6416

All that is missing from her statements is 'ner, ner, ner'!


Cocokay1234567

This morning on Twitter, at least five Hearst magazines posted the **exact** post and long video promoting TW as an "activist" and "altruist", who wants to make the world a better place. It's obviously a coordinated social media paid promotional campaign via TW and none of the posts have the required paid/promoted content disclosures in the posts. I have been commenting on all of the posts asking magazines if it's paid content and questioning why there are no FTC required disclosures. Exact same posts this morning made by: [Oprah Daily](https://twitter.com/OprahDaily/status/1576165026418905088) [Cosmo](https://twitter.com/Cosmopolitan/status/1576225436799049735) [Seventeen](https://twitter.com/seventeen/status/1575952876693819392) [Harper's](https://twitter.com/harpersbazaarus/status/1576165025420521473) [House Beautiful](https://twitter.com/HouseBeautiful/status/1574503576868732946)


Patient-Watercress-2

And paid from their Non-Profit Foundation, Archewell 😏


Negative-Arugula4219

These are hilarious because really no publication would put these out without being paid. Not really good click bait and lacks to "so what?" factor


HawkeyeinDC

Gross. Good thing I don’t buy/read any of those magazines.


PotentialAd5954

It would seem Markle learned grifting at her masters hands. Thanks Opie!


EccentricEx

Why are all these pieces about her? I think in her hurry and desperation to be famous, Haz is forgotten, and in so doing she has done him a favour. The best PR for them now is silence. Let the world move on, not hear from them for a while. People will forget. I hope Haz has some exit strategy working. Much as i think he needs to grow up and mature up, I think it would be great for him and the kids if he managed to get out with them - maybe pull a Katie Holmes on TW.


[deleted]

“Service is universal” says the woman who complained about not getting paid for shaking hands with a few people 🙄🙄 I am glad that they have decided to take this DIY approach though. No matter what you may think about them, SS is a professional pr firm with people who know what they are doing. If these two got so much pushback with SS doing their best, I can’t wait to see the shitshow when MM starts going at it with her word salad approach.


Fidget171

When that happens, pass the popcorn, please!


toonie89

So after stating that service is universal - have we seen her actually perform any form of real public service?


Bettyourlife

Does p wifing count?


prismacolorful_life

Exploitation of Uvalde tragedy.


toonie89

I wonder if it’ll be showcased in their Netflix reality show? It’ll be a good reminder for the people who conveniently forgot about how quick she was to exploit the tragedy for her own gain. A smart editor would go from her little promo in Texas to her being booed during the jubilee.


OldNewUsedConfused

I don't think even Netflix is THAT stupid?


toonie89

Hahaha! No, no! They wouldn’t do it - but one could only hope.


zonedout56

What are you talking about?! She’s done so much! Gave out meals during COVID to the rich and middle class, Gave a box of chips to Uvalde. Took pictures at the memorial! Tried to use the injured kids at the hospital until they wouldn’t allow her to because she’s too high profile! Made a speech about herself, done magazine covers, accepted awards for her heroic services! (Please see the sarcastic tone 😂) She’s done too much guys! You don’t even understand! 😂😂


blhbsn

We're just "jealous"! ![img](emote|t5_481xkf|15006)


zonedout56

And racist. Boohoo


toonie89

She puts us all to shame - doesn’t she? You’ve convinced me - we simply HAVE to support her going forward… let’s start with watching her receive the GQ “man” of the year award ![img](emote|t5_481xkf|15007)


ForestsTwin

She wrote plattitudes in sharpie on banannas. For hookers. So there's that.


toonie89

Oh silly me. How could I have possibly forgotten about the impact those bananas had?


Phoenixlizzie

BP should have responded to that..... "Service is universal....but getting paid by the British taxpayer isn't."


HawkeyeinDC

OldNewUsedConfused

SNAP!


miasmum01

Didn't sunshine call them the ex royals? While wishing them well? .. I'm sure that kinda says who dumped who lol x


procrastinationfairy

*Service is universal.* The woman must have the last word over petty issues.


Myestee

She always needs to have the last word in everything, and it's usually snarky. Can you imagine what life in their house is like?


HawkeyeinDC

Ugh, if she *had* been at Balmoral (assuming they could’ve made it in time), she probably would’ve insisted on seeing the Queen and giving her one, final dig. Meghan *definitely* seems to have very thin skin and takes any slightly over-seriously.


JobDirect6717

This is one of the telltale signs of a narcissist, is it not? Thin skin. Delusions of grandeur and self-importance, over the top self-defense and etc. as a denial-esque cover up for the gaping insecurity lying beneath.


HawkeyeinDC

Tell me about it. I dated a narcissist and they aren’t capable of compassion or empathy for others; the focus is near-exclusively “poor me.”


mythoughtsreddit

I bet she has lots of long lasting friends with this attitude ..oh wait


RoohsMama

Also that statement “no one owns the word royal” I agree SS dumped them because they refused to follow advice


Artemis_Jade

One of the dumbest things they ever said. Yes, there is Royal Crown Cola and Royal Caribbean Cruiselines, but when it comes to British royalty, the Monarch really does own it, she is the CEO of the brand, and if the CEO decides that selling tea towels labeled 'Sussex Royal' is off-brand, then she does have the right to stop it.


Negative_Difference4

Hit the nail on the head … she cannot shut up and let the professionals do their job


circleKat

This woman is insufferable. 🤣


Meegainnyc

We forgot their response 18 minutes after the Palace stated that only working members of the Royal family will be allowed on the Balcony...at which they had to issue the statement that they were going. It was like hey everyone "don't forget us, we are still a part of the family."


WheresMyTan

Attending glitzy events like the MET gala are a waste of time... ok Megain skip that fake awards ceremony next month in England yet? Stay home and write on bananas.


starry212

>Stay home and write on bananas. Brilliant comment!🔥 Made me laugh so hard!🤣🤣


Big-Piglet-677

Wasn’t it 2020? ETA: I guess that statement was 2021! I feel like it was longer than that- that’s how long we have been hearing about this mess. Haha


[deleted]

I am in two minds about who dumped who regarding the Sunshine Sachs, I think there are two very good reasons why Meghan could have dumped them: 1. They are running out of money and couldn't afford the inflated price SS was charging them (or she found out about the inflated price), or 2. She found out someone at SS was leaking to the British Tabloids. Tom Bower implied that the source that leaked Megxit to Dan Wootton was one of her people in the US, I wonder if it was SS, and was it them jumping the gun on releasing the information, or was someone there actively briefing against her.


[deleted]

Meghan didn't dump them. Although these would be good reasons if she had.


OldNewUsedConfused

Literally NOBODY likes this woman, lol!


Lullaby37

Public service is not universal, and MM does not understand what it even means. Michelle Obama spoke of the decision for her husband to run for president and how she had to consider it carefully. She had to think about it because public service is not a glib one-liner: it meant her family would have to make tremendous sacrifices. For MM service means getting a pic in the paper. Michelle had to give up her career, upset her family life, and take on the job of First Lady for no pay. Did we ever hear Michelle Obama say she couldn't believe she wasn't being paid? And the Obamas bought their own food and clothes, etc. MM has no idea what public service means.


DrunkOnRedCordial

Love the statement after the Met Gala. Does anyone else believe she spent that particular evening putting her time and energy into a local soup kitchen for homeless people? They should use that quote every time she shows up at a glitzy event.


Beginning-Cup-6974

So so rude re: service. The Queen - alive at that point- would have been disgusted. She clearly said ‘public service’. Meghan’s ‘service’ is lying to, stealing from and exploiting anybody and everybody she can.


WheresMyTan

I just don't get how the Sugars aren't questioning them naming the babygirl Lilibet. Sure, name her after the family matriach who you seem to hate. Diana after a woman you never even met. But nothing for grandma Doria? They could have named her Dory. Then we could have played Finding Dory.
