anti-bad vibe circles?

Has your other half been slow to respond to your messages? Did your colleague say “thank you” for that last cup of tea without the requisite amount of gumption?

If you’ve noticed negativity around lately, worry not: you can now join an “anti-bad vibe” circle. It may sound something that belongs in a secondary school drama class but the practice looks certain to take off after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined one during their tour of Australia last week.

Sat with a surfing group on Sydney’s Bondi Beach, Harry and Meghan joined hands with their fellow bad vibe opponents, Hawaiian-style flower garlands draped around their necks.

Kensington Palace is yet to explain exactly what a “bad vibe” is. But whatever it means, it certainly looks to be in keeping with the millennial penchant for travelling halfway across the world to “find themselves” before promptly buttoning themselves back up and never mentioning it again upon their return to Blighty. In this sense, Prince Harry is truly representing his country.

Besides, Meghan comes from a Hollywood culture where people are far more willing to embrace the new – “face yoga” and “transcendental meditation” said to be among her practices.

Should mere mortals propose an anti-bad vibe circle, it would likely be met with scoffing: with the Sussexes involved, however, this will no doubt soon be on the itinerary for wellness retreats and dinner parties across the land. Nobody likes bad vibes, after all. But let’s hope those flower garlands are optional.
