The Duchess of Sussex was photographed in Montecito last week, wearing a great outfit and a NuCalm patch/disc. Comments were split between wanting to talk about California weather and whether it’s cold enough in Montecito to warrant a coat and shawl in August versus wanting to talk about this NuCalm disc. So, I honestly thought the disc was just, like, a sticker with some kind of pseudoscience literally and figuratively attached to it. I didn’t realize it was a whole-ass APP and there are signals being sent to the disc from a person’s phone. All of this and more was discussed in the Times of London, and they suggest that Meghan is soft-launching her a collaboration with NuCalm.
When the Duchess of Sussex stepped out last week wearing a $1,650 MaxMara coat, $1,380 Chanel goatskin slingback shoes and a $1,225 Hermès shawl, one element of her wardrobe appeared a comparative snip: her $4 NuCalm patch. Worn on her inner left wrist (three fingers’ length from its edge and under no circumstances to be placed on the right, per the site’s instructions), the blue disc promises to reduce stress using “neuroacoustics”.
Connected to a smartphone app that, its creators claim, “effectively turns your mobile device into a remote control for your brain,” the product’s intention is to slow function from higher beta frequencies — or “brainwaves” associated with alertness and stress — to lower alpha waves. Users put headphones on and choose from one of the app’s four programs: Edge, Peak, Sleepsuite or Core, which use music to “naturally guide your brain to different frequency states on demand” via “complex physics, mathematics, and algorithms built into a software that lies beneath music”.
Its website says that it is clinically proven to create a “physiological state change in your brain and body”; tantamount not to a revolution, a gentle voice purrs in one video, but “an evolution in the way we take care of ourselves”. Since patenting its technology in 2009, NuCalm has received attention from Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop website and the American uber-guru Tony Robbins’s website, while the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team have used it to enhance performance.
NuCalm says that more than two million general anaesthetics that would have been given in the dentist’s chair have been forgone in lieu of the app and a pair of headphones — although it appears to have been explored in only a small amount of published research. The patches — which can’t be worn for longer than a day, or be re-used — cost $80 for 20, and app plans begin at $29.99 for the first month, then $59.99 thereafter.
]Perhaps the Sussexes’] next turn will be as ambassadors for wellness wearables, an industry due to be worth £98 billion by 2028. It certainly speaks to their Silicon Valley-style mental health-first priorities — not to mention the lucrative opportunities that might come with (assuming the duchess’s outing this week wasn’t already artfully staged #sponsoredcontent).
NuCalm isn’t the Sussexes’ first foray into this sort of thing; Meghan has invested in Clevr Blends, which sells mushroom-based coffee powders that pledge “mind-clearing” and “mood-lifting”, while Prince Harry was spotted with an Oura ring on a royal tour of Australia in 2018. The device, which works as a sleep tracker-cum-stress-slasher, counts fans including (inevitably) Paltrow, Will Smith, Jennifer Aniston and Lance Armstrong. “Not since Sam carried Frodo on his back up that smoldering mountain has a ring caused so much commotion,” wrote the US website Vox at the time of what is essentially a finger Fitbit. The ring costs from$299, plus at least $5.99 a month for its smartphone-connected plans. Think copper bracelets and magnets, but for the smartphone age.
The Times also correctly points out that this can’t be blamed on “California woo-woo” because the Windsors have always fussed around with alternative therapies and holistic medicine, especially King Charles. Charles probably has a NuCalm patch himself. While I’m a skeptic about NuCalm, I will say this – with issues like anxiety, whatever works for you is fine. So much of it is mental, so if this patch is a placebo which makes you feel better, go for it. If there’s some actual science to it, even better. I also think it would be smart for Harry and Meghan to actual get paid by one of these companies – The Times is right, it’s a HUGE industry and obviously, Meghan and Harry have shown that they can sell these products.

It will be interesting to see if NuCalm releases a statement. They must be thrilled at all the coverage.
They posted about Meghan wearing the patch on Instagram.
Publicity! They should pay Meghan for that.
There must have been a financial arrangement beforehand. Meghan seems to have lifted her arm in that manner, willingly. That patch could have gone unnoticed under that coat, had she chosen to.
All this to prove that everything the Duchess of Sussex touches turns to gold. Screw you, Netflix.
Oh, God … noooooooo!!! This patch is going to be weaponiized by the rubbish press. The patch isn’t science based. It’s what used to be called new age. I’m glad it makes her happy, but it’s like those other so called airy fairy things that California has a reputation for embracing. It’s harmless but destroys credibility. Sorry. This is a mistake.
Cara, someone yesterday said that according to the website you’re not supposed to cover the patch with fabric. That would explain why one sleeve of Meghan’s coat was turned up and the patch was seen. When Meghan wears anything that item gets sold out. She wore this patch. That doesn’t mean that she’s sponsoring anything. Until the Sussexes spokesperson says differently, I’m going to consider this just more media crap.
I realize my assumption is certainly flawed.
Oh dear, this patch will be weaponized by the press. Oh well, since it’s only the first time that happens, I’m sure it’ll be okay. (/s.) Above all else, Meghan must make sure that whatever she does meets the approval of the degenerate British media. That’s certainly the way she should live her life even if she’s making personal choices and not trying to convince anyone else to follow her footsteps.
(A whole lot of /s).
Good lord! Is Can’t when she plays the piano launching a musical career? Is Peg when he does stupid food truck stunts launching a cooking sponsorship? It’s a patch to help her be calm. Stop the nonsense.
They can’t help it when it comes to Meghan. For people who wanted her to leave their precious island, they track her moves relentlessly. Its insane. She was also wearing an Hermes scarf and Chanel shoes. No “sponsorship” comments about that? Is she like a walking billboard? Its just another way to dehumanize her imo.
Hm. Yeah, no. This is where they lose me. Not necessarily regarding the pseudoscience behind it, but the cost. There are plenty of people in need of help with anxiety and stress—and I’m all for non-pill alternatives—but hyping something that few can afford would be super tacky. That’s Goop’s domain.
Goop & Tony Robbins are two of the least reliable endorsements imaginable.
Agreed. My eyebrows were already climbing into my hair at the company’s blurb and when I saw Goop and Robbins were proponents, that sealed it for me. This sounds like a load of psycho-gabble nonsense.
“which use music to “naturally guide your brain to different frequency states on demand” via “complex physics, mathematics, and algorithms built into a software that lies beneath music”.
Please.
Oh my gosh, yes. $60 a month? That’s a steep price… unless it somehow really does lower stress and anxiety. Which I highly doubt.
Ya, $60/month PLUS the cost of the one use only discs. Is there a reason they can only be worn once or is that just marketing strategy bullshit?
Monthly subscriptions start at $14.99 for a single channel (e.g. sleep, focus, rescue). A three channel subscription (deep sleep, rescue, power nap) is $29.99 a month (comparable to other sleep/relaxation apps).
There’s a 7 day free trial.
@ minnieder: apparently, one use sucks all the woo out of them. I’m glad the Times pointed out the Windsor weakness for woo.
Therapy and pills cost way more than that. My son’s therapist charges $140 per visit. He has anxiety and trouble sleeping. So I wonder if this works. And people can decide for themselves what’s “affordable”. Shit costs money so you decide what you want to sacrifice for what you need.
There is established peer-reviewed research behind therapy and medication in that’s in use. This doesn’t have any of that. This is woo and placebo. If people want to use it it’s their money. But we shit on Goopy for putting her reach behind pseudoscience and how irresponsible that is. This isn’t any different just because the person who may wish to promote it is kind and does good work.
@MrsBanjo. ^this so much. agreed.
Don’t buy it if it is not for you. Live and let live. Psychiatrist and drugs cost way more so pretending a 4 dollar patch is extremely costly is weird.
But one thing has been studied and tested and replicated. The other has not. Defending pseudoscience is weird.
this is what pseudoscience does. it captures ppl by offering them a relatively cheaper product that’s “effective” and swindles their money. there’s placebo in everything and maybe this may work for some ppl. but legitimizing this derails the convo about how do we promote and make PROVEN mental health treatments accessible for everyone.
@thatsnotokay Meghan nor I am asking you to buy it….but I don’t see how a patch is breaking your brain more than a whale noise/rain noise device people use to help them sleep. Its about what works for you and you are pretending her wearing that patch means, she doesn’t get help from licensed medical professionals for whatever her needs are. People can do both and you can do what you feel works for your needs.
there’s a difference between white noise machines and sleep apps to try and literally saying clinically proven and backed by research when there is none. that’s what’s breaking my brain. don’t sell lies.
@hagonamin
Then don’t buy it….if she likes her crystals, sage, candles, yoga, antenna patch as much taking regular therapy or pills or whatever….so be it. Her handling her anxiety, stress her way shouldn’t trigger you or anybody else this much. Handle your needs your own way and stop judging people about how they handle theirs. Nobody is selling a single thing here. She bought something for herself, she is using it….this has exactly 0 things to do with you.
I question the effectiveness of this as well, but also agree that if it helps you – even if it’s just a mind trick – so be it. You do you. Do what you have to do to feel better mentally. If they don’t have a partnership with this company, they probably will soon given all the attention this has received. And who has highlighted this more than anyone? The British press. So they are inadvertently helping them remain free and rich. Suckers.
The media is so anxious to find out what’s next for H&M that they’ll speculate on anything. Meghan ate an ice cream – she must become a brand ambassador!
She knows that the minute she steps outside the gates of her property, those tabloid jackals will be hunting her for pictures so they can make up more lies, so if this helps her stay calmer and reduces her anxiety dealing with it, more power to her.
i hope this isn’t a true collab. going on the website and listening to them explain the patch was painful…using vibrations to open GABA channels to change brain waves (?? through the wrist) and “proprietary” coils that last for 2 hours but can’t be placed next to any electronics. sure, anxiety impacts everyone differently, but we need consistent messaging for affordable access to therapy, mental health professionals, and treatments…not pseudoscience for a pack of patches at 100 bucks and a subscription service. this just seems like rich ppl snake oil bs.
GABA is a neurotransmitter in the brain. The body naturally creates GABA and, as a neurotransmitter, it helps cells in the central nervous system communicate with one another. Increasing GABA transmission in the brain tends to lessen anxiety, improve sleep, and create a better overall mood, so it’s not as woowoo as it seems. When I was going through treatment for breast cancer and ensuing dreadful menopause, my doctor gave me oral gabapentin and it REALLY helped reduce anxiety and give me better sleep. So I’m open to the theory that non-medicinal methods to increase GABA levels in the brain can work.
if you look at their website, they said oral GABA was outdated and why they opted to create this patch that uses coils to increase “vibration” or tuning to increase GABA activity regardless of absorption. then cited a bunch of other papers that had nothing to do with this. i’m all for exploring new methods and science is about that. but their website claim this is backed by peer-reviewed research (it’s not), and replaces oral supplements to be more effective in a hokey proprietary device that’s not backed by any data.
They’re using a look of hand-waving to tie together words and phrases that people have heard before, to sell what is essentially woo.
This.
I’m all for Meghan getting paid.
If it works for her or helps her in any way, then good. Like others have said, if something helps someone’s anxiety, then I’m not going to knock it. I have bad anxiety myself and it can be really brutal at times, messing up everything from sleep to appetite, so if this helps, then good.
Agree @Becks. When I was going through breast cancer treatment and ensuing horrible menopause my doctor gave me oral GABA (gabapentin) and it really helped me get through a tough time – terrible anxiety and insomnia.
I read that Meghan “ allegedly” was visiting the dentist and the specific patch she wore was to help with anxiety while having dental work done. I still get anxious visiting the dentist so would love something to help calm my anxiety.
For the life of me I don’t know why everyone thinks this is a publicity stunt and Meghan has a deal or trying to get one. They have zero endorsement deals so I’m baffled why people always claim they are trying get one for everything they do and wear.
It’s dehumanising her as someone said above. And relegates her to cheap ‘influencer’ rather than what / who she really is. Two posters yesterday were all about her ‘tacky’ handbag because it has a brand name? Like, seriously? Find me a nameless bag then. Those posters and these comments are meant to make her look cheap and tacky (as they described her bag) and basically call her classless trash.
Yeah its the usual suspects that come on here to trash anything Meghan, even when there is not a shred of evidence that she has any type of “deal” brewing.
TBH, Goyard bags are lightening rods of opinion. People hate them or love them.
Oh I thought Goyard bags are universally thought of as classy and tasteful, im surprised and interested they are polarising
Possibly because she has her coat sleeve rolled up on that specific arm and not the other and very obviously holding her arm up to be visible. She wants it to be seen. The only part that is unclear is if she’s getting paid for it to be seen.
I still think the photos were staged for a soft-sponsorship.
(And for those of you excited to tear me to shreds—I’m not judging it either way. Not a pro, not a con, just something celebs do.)
Completely agree with you. The close-up and clear photo (when have we seen that from paparazzi in Montecito?), the rolled up sleeve, the lack of bodyguards on the photo, the same arm pose right by her face…it screams staged. No judgment, just is.
I tend to agree. I am also on record here saying I don’t think staging pap pics is bad. It’s part of a savvy media strategy.
I wonder if she invested in the company?
There’s no reason why M can’t be a full out influencer and has nothing to apologize for if she does. She’s got brands lining up and there’s no reason for her not to take advantages of all her opportunities. She doesn’t need approval or consent from anyone.
ITA! Get that money Meghan! Why shouldn’t she cash in on her influence? I hate the implication that promoting products is beneath people. Celebs do it all the time with their deals with fashion houses, why not other things?
What I’ve not seen in the countless media articles? Any introspection whatever about what might be causing high levels of stress and anxiety for Meghan. Wouldn’t it be lovely if someone wrote an article which suggested that perhaps the relentless media bullying might be contributing to a woman relying on external treatments to help soothe her anxiety.
For real! That is the real story. Occam’s razor (simplest explanation) would point here.
I wouldn’t throw shade IF Meghan had a sponsorship, but assuming it is jumping to conclusions. On this site, it’s a truism that Meghan launches things thoughtfully, when they’re fully baked. This was just…being photographed.
THIS!
All of this has been whipped up by the British media to make people bicker about her instead of leave her alone. They are also distressed by the ‘Meghan Effect’ that sees everything she wears become sought after. Those same papers said her children’s book would put kids off reading before it was even released and floated a Dior sponsorship deal because the label had the temerity to photograph an Indian model in an ongoing campaign for their clothes without showing her face, just her (brown)hand holding their latest bag. They are working to harass her and peel away her soft support. It shouldn’t be allowed.
Thank you!! I was thinking just that, the real issue is that Meghan is still struggling with her mental health. All this debate about cost and ignoring the real issue.
One of my children was seeing a counselor for a time it was weekly, the out of pocket with insurance was $50 a visit, $200 a month, and I’m not sure how helpful it was, so I would be fine with this patch.
I would be very reluctant to read any third-party speculation on anyone’s mental health including M. People do use meditation, biofeedback, breathwork and adjacent systems to help expand their consciousness and mental acuity. A lot of people are interested in these things as tools of personal development.
Me, I say whatever works for you. It can work like a placebo, or it could be a real well being aide, but if it helps, it helps, and let’s face it, with all the shit that’s been thrown at them, “some comments are even creeping in here” she is right to try any and everything to help her deal
This is how I feel, Mary Pester. As I said before, one woman’s woo is another woman’s tried and true.
For sure Mary Pester. If I’d been through a tenth of the mind-boggling amount of bullying, harassment, death threats and constant fear of paparazzi intrusion in my life I’d be doing whatever I could to alleviate the stress. This is not Meghan doing a soft-launch of a new product or influencer/merching stuff AT ALL, and the people here who are ragging on her for being papped wearing a NuCalm patch are clearly anti-Sussex and can’t understand the level of constant fear and anxiety she experiences on a daily basis. I’d say this is a safer alternative than taking a bunch of ativan or xanax.
@Jaded: I suspect that the people who are ragging her for being photographed wearing the patch are not only anti-Sussex, but they understand very well the level of constant harassment that Meghan gets because those same people stalk her online and cannot possibly let a sighting go by without chiming in and saying something negative, untrue, or both. They neglect their own jobs and families in order to follow what Meghan is doing online. They know what they’re doing.
Yesterday, there were comments about merching and I was a little confused. Merching would be if a company paid Meghan to be seen wearing something right? Whereas if companies choose to send Meghan free things in the hopes that she’ll wear it and she does, that would not be considered merching? Listen, I want Meghan to make money to pay for her kids’ life-long security needs so they are never in danger from
The Windsors.
Celebrities and influencers regularly get all kinds of free swag that isn’t connected to any type of deal. It’s with the hopes that they will wear, use or talk about the product and influence other people to buy it.
It’s entirely possible the company sent her a box of these patches and a free subscription for a year to get her to try it.
What is wrong with merching? She is allowed to make money. Who cares if she got it for free and is trying it out or if she is promoting it for money?
That’s what I wondered too. Why is merching being used to insult her? What’s the problem for the derangers?
I wouldn’t be surprised it it was – its common practice these days and in reality we see this from a lot of brands and public figures. Megan is a smart woman who either uses the product personally, has been gifted it to try, or is collaborating with the brand (or all three). The product is not for me, but judging by how much we are all talking about/describing the product on this site and in the comments its getting the company some attention.
Don’t hate me, but I do think this is intentional publicity for NuCalm by Meghan, and that’s OK. Why? Because her coat sleeve is folded up on the sleeve with the wrist patch, but not the other. To me that’s the dead giveaway. The blue scarf color coordinates with the patch. It all seems planned, and if that was her intention, I respect it.
It’s not a patch; it’s a disc. Having a coat sleeve over the disc could make it fall off.
If the Fail and Page Six had not magnified the photo, would you have noticed the patch? So are you suggesting that Meghan cooperated with Fail that she sued and a Murdoch rag to get free publicity? Meghan has a whole multinational agency working for her to get “deals”. When they happen they will be announced publicly, just like the production deal with the movie they plan to make. Even her investment with Clevr was announced publicly, their collaboration with Ethic the same way.
Influencing is a very common and ubiquitous way of marketing right now. There’s no serious brand that that doesn’t have an influencer network or strategy. Presumably, WME would be helping M to manage her opportunities and coordinating them. She wouldn’t be working with Murdoch, but it’s not surprising that the press would pick it up.
Again, when has Meghan not publicly announced any deals? And her coat and bags were more visible than the patch, so is that merching? The FCC has rules about paid sponsorships in the US and what has to be disclosed.
I too believe everything at every single time she steps out the door with anything she wears say or talks is merching – I too am a S M R T & SAVI person 🫠
These undercover Meghan haters are rather ridiculous.
I looked at their site yesterday, too. I was intrigued by the idea of a stress-reducing patch or disc. But it is an app and you have to listen to people or sounds or whatever, which doesn’t interest me. I don’t even like guided tours at museums. I’m on my own program, lol.
But if it works for Meghan, great. If she wants to be a brand ambassador for it, that’s fine, too. My husband listens to meditation apps and they seem to help him. People can make up their own minds about it.
I see an attempt to police a woman’s body and soul while others try to monetize Meghan’s magic.
Meghan was an influencer before she met Harry. What do people think the Tig was? So I don’t get why she can’t go back to her roots just because she’s married to Harry.
It’s not the influencing, it’s the product. This company looks like b.s.
And here I thought she was an actress before she married Harry.
Ugh this is so SoCal of her, and not in a good way. Please stay away from any official endorsement of this snake oil, my Princess! I asked a friend who is a literal brain function scientist to look at NuCalm, and his response was ‘snake oil’.
She’s already endorsed it by wearing it.
Meghan is seen wearing this patch one time and all of a sudden she should be a spokesperson or investor? We don’t know if a friend had her try it or if she thinks it’s any good. She wears Dior a few times and we get this speculation about her being a brand ambassador. I guess I get everyone wanting money and prosperity for the Sussexes but everyone wanting to be their agent and have them associate with every product they happen to have is ridiculous. Also people only say this of Meghan. No one even suggested Harry be a spokesperson for waffle makers when he talked about it or be a brand ambassador for Dior or some suede shoe company. Anyway, I personally wouldn’t want to represent a company with such a cheesy name-Nu anything is very 80s and they can’t seem to afford a decent web designer to design their page, but some think Meghan should be all in? Does anyone even care what she thinks of all this? Anyway, you’d think any brand Meghan eventually reps for would just make a huge announcement instead of her sending smoke signals by getting papped on the way to the dentist, but maybe this is how they do things now. What do I know.
Blood glucose monitors have been around a good while and send readings to Smartphones. They even send to the clinic if required via Bluetooth . They’re being developed for other chronic illnesses. Technology has advanced BM! It’s also quite expensive. Maybe Meghan thought she’d try it out ; we all get stressed over any number of things. But the subtext here is ‘she’s stressed because her marriage is failing ‘
It sounds like they mostly were looking for an opportunity to mention her in the same article as GOOP, Tony Robbins and Lance Armstrong.
I think this is the usual distracting nonsense they always put out when the Sussexes have positive coverage of their work. Meghan has several jobs already , she does not need to rep this or that company as an “ influencer “. This is basically said to diminish what she does and disparage her very real work ethic, using they same trope they she just wants attention. I don’t understand how so many don’t see this.
As an acupuncturist/herbalist I can confirm there are powerful acupuncture points for calming anxiety on the wrist where these patches are being worn. The same area also has motion sickness points that are stimulated by “sea bands”. Even the measurement of 3” inside wrist correlates with our point location standards. Not sure how the body would respond to binaural beats but I do believe the body would respond to pressure stimulation. If it works for M, more power to her!
Thank you. I have an amazing community acupuncture clinic where I live and I know first hand the benefits of acupuncture. But with the resurgence of Covid I’m reluctant to risk the exposure. I’m going to test out the discs, both alone and with the app trial.
All of this, the initial photos, the suggestion that the coat was unseasonably heavy, the identification of the patch, the suggestion she should have a formal deal with the patch company and even the suggestion Meghan was at a dentist was spoon fed forward into public discourse by two media companies who have a vested interest in injuring the Sussexes reputation and making their lives a misery. There is no way of knowing what is true other than she was photographed outside of her home and those photos were bought and published by the two entities that detest H&M the most.
It’s harassment from the usual suspects. The British press have an ongoing agenda in trying to chip away Harry and Meghan’s popularity as well as stalk her in an effort to apply court case pressure in Murdoch’s case and revenge over her previous court win for the Daily Mail. They did media attacks disguised as ‘regular gossip’ to Princess Diana back in the day too.
Those papers lobbed this BS forward with malice because its becoming clearer that Harry and Meghan are genuinely successful in their work and Invictus Games is coming soon. Also the ‘powers that be’ want made up noise over Meghan to drown out the fact that Dan Wootton has blackmailed a great deal of reporters and public figures. Which reporters and public figures? No one, other than Byline Times, is investigating that Wootton mess because the tentacles of that scandal probably reach high enough into government and media circles to keep it quashed.
Thank you @Interested Gawker for your succinct summary and analysis of this harassment and exploitation.
Ditto 💯 !
Bingo. Harassment from the usual suspects. It reminds me of a piers Morgan story. I can’t remember if this is a video clip or it came out in the trial, but Piers talked about how Diana left a therapist absolutely fine but then was harassed by paps in the street and started crying. The story then becomes about Diana crying after seeing her therapist which was not true. The paps made her cry. Here we have powerful news owners harassing Meghan for years and then mocking her for wearing something that helps her with stress. They can seriously GTFOH.
Meghan wore an anti-stress patch because the economic mite(s) will pap her, followed by the braying from especially people( and their adjacents) whom her husband is suing to establish boundaries.
They even offer consumer advice,as if she cares about their opinions, if she did, she would be a shell of her former self.
Yet she remains vibrant…
The cynicism and irony…..
I also came across the gem on the twitter-verse from @byetwit
#Context
“We DONT KNOW WHY Princess Meghan was wearing a NuCalm disc
The Tabloids DONT KNOW WHY Princess Meghan was wearing a NuCalm disc
The tabs all stress (pun intended) NuCalm is for “stress”
NONE OF the tabloids mentioned that, NuCalm Dentistry Sedation IS ALSO A THING”
This is an interesting take …..
I actually believe the dentist story ,but I am just disgusted in this invasion of privacy on Meghan .
What right do people have to judge everything this woman does .
It’s beyond stalking it’s obsessive harrassment and it should be a criminal offence .
My reply to someone earlier has vanished (they evidently deleted the post), so I thought I would give the information here. I looked up some information on NuCalm. It’s been around since 2009, and was approved by the FDA as a regulated Class III medical device. It’s patented, and later got FDA approval for commercial use. In addition, the review at easysleepguide.com also states:
“It has been used by cancer patients since 2014; used by the U.S. military since 2013; used by 56 professional sports teams since 2011; used in over 2,000,000 surgical procedures replacing general anesthesia, and there have been zero reported adverse events.”
For those who is saying meghan dileberately role her coat to show the patch.
I think you ‘accidently’ didnt read the post before you.
The patch is not to be covered by cloth.
So that is what meghan did like any normal people with brain always do.
Gotta admit I’m disgusted and disappointed with a lot of these posts the past two days. They’ve accused Meghan from slyly merching product to lying about the weather by wearing a lightweight coat. Like wtf is wrong with people?! All this while haters are doom watching her marriage and career. She can’t just do normal things and try different things without some ulterior motive attributed to her. People need to calm tf down every time Meghan is spotted out and about. Ugh, shut up.
“not to mention the lucrative opportunities that might come with (assuming the duchess’s outing this week wasn’t already artfully staged #sponsoredcontent).” Really? I mean, it’s not a suitcase filled with cash like Charles ran away with, it’s just American (presumably) commerce, and Meghan is savvy enough to decide for herself whether she wants to develop a financial relationship with this company or just be a consumer of their product.
