British Royal Family Gossip: Part 41
Omid Scobie asserts that the Sussexes aren't going anywhere except for a short stint and any decisions about their lives will be made by them and them alone.
The Omidifier is the mouthpiece for MeAgain.
Given that the Palace itself made the announcement about getting the Sussexes out of Dodge for awhile, his contradiction is amusing, to say the least.

The thing is, i don't like her, but I don't really hate MEGalomaniac. She can't help herself, let's face she has always been this way and she won't change for the better. Just like dear hubby, Duke Dim. Contrary to popular belief, he has always been an entitled moron.
What I do HATE though is the legion of MEGalomaniac lunatics. Which in turn makes me dislike their obnoxious heroine.

R1 - Well, they've missed the Queen's birthday, Louis's birthday, and (so far) St George's Day.
They can still make the Bard's (alleged) birthday on 26 April, though.
Unless, of course, she's already had it, which is quite possible.

The posts discussing narcissism are very interesting. One thing I didn't see mentioned was how the narcissist uses gaslighting to confuse their partner. It's insidious. They lie, their actions don't match their words, they deny they said something that they said and they project their feelings onto the partner. They mix in positive reinforcement. If Meghan is NPD, Harry is on a roller-coaster and his self-esteem will spiral downward because he'll always be off-balance and questioning his reality.

From Scobie's sycophantic column in HarperBazaar:
"Adds the Sussex friend, “Let’s be clear about one thing: Any decision the couple make about their future will be made by themselves for themselves. Harry and Meghan have always wanted to reach people on a global level and that is the only thing that’s motivating them. Aside from the Queen and Prince Charles, they’re not looking to other family members, or their teams, for guidance.”"
Right - in other words, the spin from the Sussexes is a mad rush to counteract the slightest suggestion that they aren't their own masters, that there have been any problems whatsoever between them and the rest of the BRF over Meghan's behaviour, and they're calling out Geidt and Manning as liars.
The article does, however, point out that BP has neither confirmed nor denied the basis of the story: that the BRF want the Sussexes "focussing" on work outside the UK.

R32 I've lived in the Los Angeles area and worked in education my entire life and never heard of Meghan's high school, Immaculate Heart, which is about 15 miles from where I reside. It is not noteworthy in a city littered with prominent private high schools. Also, Northwestern is not a popular destination for students from this area. I've never known any exceptional students from Southern California that were interested in attending or even applying to Northwestern. On paper, she appears to be educated, but I do not see exceptional intelligence in her writing, or life choices. Her true gift seems to be marketing herself and making connections. Sure seems like her father tried to give her the best he could provide and she really hasn't appreciated his efforts.

Piers really went to town on the Sussexes in that DM piece.
By the time the media is through with this story, which, in the fashion to which we have all become accustomed, after leaking has only resulted in competing PR narratives from Celebitchy to the DM to Harper's, the whole brilliant plan will have to be thrown out by the Palace.

It is true Northwestern is a good school, but it's not as if she got a degree in Classics or was going in for pre-Med or pre-Law. She majored in Theatre, didn't she, with some poly sci thrown in?

R67 - All right, then, back to the Queen Mum on tour.
Shortly after she became Queen, very much as Europe was on the brink of WWII, the Queen Elizabeth and King George VI were scheduled to visit France. The Queen's mother, the Countess of Strathmore, however, died just before the trip, leaving the Queen with a choice between not going at all (which the government didn't want her to do), or wearing black for the entire tour. Norman Hartnell, however, who had put together her clothes for the tour, reminded the Queen that white was also considered an appropriate colour for mourning, and turned the entire planned ensemble for the Queen's French visit white with very little time to spare.
The Queen's all-white tour clothes were a huge hit, much admired, as was her fluent French. There is one photograph of her on the tour at a garden party in a beautiful ostrich-feather trimmed white hat, but I can't find it.

R56 Communications is considered the easiest and most entertaining major on most US campuses. I took 1 communications class, very popular, at UCLA, and we viewed and analyzed advertisements. It is a Social Science major, which earns a Bachelor of Arts. Hard to find employment with just this background, but not too demanding while enjoying your college years. I haven't heard of any college accomplishments for MM while studying at Northwestern, in theater or otherwise. I'm sure she would broadcast them if any existed. So a basic degree, no honors, and just a sorority as an extracurricular. Not even any long term friendships made during those for years of sisterhood. Honestly, not impressive.

My God the arrogance. These two with a tiara on their instagram and forever self-referencing as "their royal highnesses" and Meghan trying to make "Duchess Meghan" happen not only call HM "Granny" as part of their birthday wishes (making "Her Majesty" just another cute endearment and not full of respect), calling Prince Louis "Louis" on his birthday, but "Let's make one thing clear" William is not the boss of them and they go where they want and do what they like and other people fund it and that's the way it is. There is nothing even lip service there about say, taking the actual needs of the destination in question under consideration.
Under all of this is the incessant thirst and demand to be treated as celebrities without incurring any obligation to earn it or heed those who pay their way. It's what has always been evident about Harry. He wants to be a rich layabout, kick British dust off his heels, and go around doing what he wants on the U.K. taxpayer's dime. He also wants a forum where he can show up and get attention and applause and praise where he wants.
This being evident, and having BEEN evident for years, still it looks like the royal family is trying to contain Meghan while pretending Harry is still their boy and giving him a route back home. It's futile. He needs to be cut loose. Off the list. I am so fucking tired of hearing that generic, entitled, unsupported crap about "global superstars". They're not, and furthermore, it entitles them to nothing. They think that entitles them to top dollar and to command their own way while someone else pays the check?

Why would the reviewer take that into account? It’s the nature of the actual photographs he’s talking about not how they were achieved.
He’s right. Harry’s are pretentious while Kate’s are real.

THIS QUESTION IS PRINCE CHARLES APPROVED:
Now that Phillip is getting close to the century mark, in the event that he dies before Elizabeth, do you think she will go shortly after? A lot of long term married people usually die pretty close to one another. Do we think she will hang on because she has her position to keep her going, or will she die with in the year after Phillip passes?

You're right, r113. She's overplayed her hand on the birth hype. And, if she does end up "premiering" the baby via Vogue cover, the British public will be apoplectic. They pay for her, and all her unnecessary luxuries, whether she wants to acknowledge that fact or not. I predict if she actually does the Vogue cover route, instead of a normal photocall, that will finally be it for her. It will offend even more people the the 500,000 NYC pap walk baby shower. It will be the final insult to the British people, and she will be well and truly finished. She can hire as many PR people as she likes, but they will still be universally loathed by the people who pay their bills, and there will be no coming back from that - ever - for either of them. There will be nothing but mounting calls from millions of people - including from Royalists - to cut Harry loose from the taxpayer money. And even though that seems inconceivable now, just wait - the heat on the BRF will increase and increase, andthey will have to respond to save themselves from being dragged down with the Hated Harkles.

Harry's body language and self-isolation from his cousins when they all walked together after church are all very telling. Even if we don't know the full set of details about the brothers' fallout, we can infer a lot from it from body language. Human nature can be easy to decipher sometimes without the necessity of words.
Harry's body language paints him as a man who's insecure, his self-confidence has been taken down a few notches by recent turn of events. His awkwardness betrays the planned nature of the avoidance, but once undertaken he appears to be having some regrets about the whole situation. Though not enough to stop the foolish display for all to see. Harry as the person doing the actual avoiding, is the more active party in this feud, in that he's the one who feels like he's been wronged. Essentially this means that he either doesn't fully realize the awfulness of his/ Meghan's behavior let alone the consequences, or he just doesn't care. But his avoidant behavior suggest that he just doesn't care, and is in fact intent on mirroring Meghan in the I-Hate-My-Family department. If he was confused about it then he'd be still in the midst of things, trying to at least find out why he's on the outs with rest of the family.
In any case his petty actions that have far more serious implications than his dim bulb of a brain can process, really speaks of a man who has too much time on his hands and too little substantive endeavors to keep him occupied. Therefore it makes it that much easier for him to fall under the (mis)guidance of Meghan, and the mirroring of family strife/ avoidance may be Harry subconsciously showing solidarity with her. He's already shown himself to be easily shaped into her own ideas of who he should be as befitting his title, 6th in line be damned. Harry is all in with the Sussex branding, no doubts about it now. That is why the BRF is scrambling to distance him from William.

Harry has always been labeled “the spare.” It’s a shame he never stepped outside this label and determined a career to focus his energy on. I suspect Meghan was an answer to his question of what he can do. She is driven and has sold her goals to him and he has adopted them as his own. Unfortunately, her goals are those an actress has: theatrical, ego feeding, celebrity, applause. I don’t see this ending well for him because they want the taxpayers to pay for this “brand.” If they continue this path, they need to get off the taxpayer dole or be prepared for the increasing public outcry. Genuine humanitarians don’t advertise. Genuine humanitarians are too busy doing the work.

The Queen Mum's War.
The bombing of BP in her own words. Brings tears to your eyes :-
"It all happened so quickly that we had only time to look foolishly at each other when the scream hurtled past us and exploded with a tremendous crash in the quadrangle," she wrote.
While her "knees trembled a little bit", she was "so pleased with the behaviour of our servants", some of whom were injured as one bomb crashed through a glass roof and another pulverised the palace chapel.
Hours later, after lunching in their air-raid shelter, she and the King were visiting West Ham in London's East End. She wrote: "I felt as if I was walking in a dead city... all the houses evacuated, and yet through the broken windows one saw all the poor little possessions, photographs, beds, just as they were left."
The bombing, along with the royal family's refusal to flee Britain against Foreign Office advice, was to win the King and Queen affection and fellow-feeling across the country. [bold]The Queen declared: "The children will not leave unless I do. I shall not leave unless their father does, and the king will not leave the country in any circumstances, whatever."[/bold]

Margaret was psycho, wasn't she? She didn't like chores. She did them like she did anything if it caught her fancy or amused her. She needed diversion. Her life was pretty empty.
I heard this story once from a friend, in a documentary, that at Balmoral she was cast an eye on a footman and stare at him as he made his way around the table and then either make a face or tell a really terrible joke. The intended effect was to make him react. That's just bullying, albeit benignly. Someone in authority creates circumstances to make someone without authority uncomfortable, to remind them of their place.
I don't have a lot of time for Margaret. She had a tough, if comfortable, row to hoe, and she could have made the best of it but really didn't.

Margaret's father spoiled her, just as Harry was spoiled by Charles. The elder siblings in this game usually are held to higher standards early on for obvious reasons.There were exceptions a couple of generations back. Edward VIII was an exception - in his case, it was the stammering younger brother who was steadier, had a higher sense of duty, and who was able to forge a real family life. And one generation before that, Edward VII's heir, Prince Edward Duke of Clarence (an ill-fated ducal title if ever there was), was dissolute and nervy, but the younger brother who eventually succeeded when "Eddy" died young, George V was much the steadier hand.
By the way, for those who discussed the diaries of the fabled Chips Channon, I broke down and ordered a copy at great expense, and am enjoying them immensely. The chapter on Abdication Year is just delicious, but the rest is well worth the price - for someone my age (cough) many of the names he gossips about (Emerald Cunard, Diana and Duff Cooper, Prince Paul and Pss. Olga of Yugoslavia) are not unfamiliar to me so the gossip is rewarding, but some of you younger foik born in the post-war era may not enjoy it quite so much.

What is the issue about MM's degree, and her declared majors? Depending on the university's standards, different subjects/ majors are listed under specific degree programs. She chose two groups of study during college, took the courses to fulfill the requirements to earn one degree.
Some folks go the extra step to take additional courses and earn dual degrees. My original majors in college were Zoology and Chemistry. I switched, and earned Bachelor of Science degrees in both Zoology and Animal Science. Then again, I wasn't in a sorority.

For those interested in understanding Meghan's degree, I've linked the Northwestern University Department of Theatre page. Notice that the Department of Theatre falls within the School of Communications. Theatre was her primary major and it is the reason she is listed in the graduation circular under the School of Communications.
She also has an Adjunct Major in International Studies, which falls within Northwestern's Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences. At Northwestern, students enrolled in any undergraduate school of the university may elect an Adjunct Major in International Studies. The adjunct major is secondary to Meghan's Theatre degree. Typically, for an adjunct major, students can count some courses from their primary major toward the adjunct major (in essence, double-counting), but I'm not sure if any Theatre courses would qualify to be applied toward the International's Studies adjunct major. Meghan would only be listed once in the graduation circular, not separately under the College of Arts & Sciences for her adjunct major. This information is also available on the NWU International Studies website.

Margaret was intelligent, artistic, and witty, but she was given no education to speak of, had no career prospects, and was told her whole purpose in life was to be the 'spare.' That purpose was fulfilled when she was 18 and her sister gave birth to Prince Charles, and after that she was entirely superfluous to the dynastic mission of the Royals. At that point, she was supposed to shut up, get married, and have babies, but unfortunately the man she loved was considered unsuitable.
In other words, Margaret had a lot of brains, creativity, and energy that were given no approved outlets but partying and pettiness. Couple that with a disastrous marriage to a misogynistic social climber and the result is the monster Margaret became in later years.
I doubt I would have liked Margaret if I'd met her, but I do feel a bit sorry for her. A lot of potential wasted.

To piggyback on R174, I think it's interesting how truly unsuitable Windsor heirs are dealt with. The weird and limited Prince Eddy was merely suffering from a bad cold, when suddenly the Royal doctor shows up, he's given a shot of SOMETHING, and within hours he is dead. And, of course, TPTB manipulated Edward VIII right off the throne. In both cases, they were succeeded by dull, pliable, dutiful younger brothers who were exactly what was wanted by the grey men of the Palace.
It's just as well that Margaret, Andrew, and Harry weren't born first. They might not have survived.

He needed a damned good excuse and he found one. He NEVER wanted to be King.

Edward VIII was extremely ambivalent about being king. He wanted the deference and the money, but he didn't want the duty or the sacrifices required for the job. By the time the Abdication Crisis happened, Parliament knew he'd be a Nazi-loving disaster, so they sold him a bill of goods: He could abdicate but live in the UK (after a short time abroad), and enjoy most of the privileges and influence of being King without having to do the work. This was a total lie, because as soon as he signed the papers they forced him out of England for good and used his Parliamentary-granted income to control him for the rest of his life. The grey men of the Palace don't play.

R193 - I agree completely that Wallis served Edward's purposes perfectly, but Edward's brother didn't want to be King, either - he and Elizabeth were living lives, as biographer Robert Lacey put it, "as close to paradise as the human condition allows". Albert was forced onto the throne - but did a much better job.
In the case of William and Harry, the shoes are on the other feet. Harry doesn't have to worry about not wanting to be King, but it appears he also doesn't want to be royal except under certain terms that allow him to retain his privileges whilst sticking two fingers up to the restraints. And in that sense, Harry does seem to be repeating family history.

What's really sad is how much Llewellyn looked like her estranged husband, Lord Snowdon. Snowdon was such a shit to her, but part of her never got over him.
The one positive thing I will say about Snowdon is at least he kept his mouth shut. Jackie O offered him a two-million dollar advance to write a tell-all about Margaret, but Snowdon wouldn't.

There's been a lot of talk about MM's diplomatic stint in Brazil? Argentina? and how she leveraged her uncle to get a position in the embassy but then didn't invite him to the wedding. I'd always assumed she was there for a year or two since the story was promoted so heavily before the wedding as one of her qualifications along with the double major in International Relations. Then I read somewhere that she was only there for two months, it was basically an unpaid internship. Good for resume padding but hardly a real qualification.

I also want to chime in about one of my favorite movies, The King’s Speech. You can really see that Albert really did not want to be king at all. The fact that he helped guide England through WWII was an incredible feat. And Elizabeth had her hand in that. I think that’s really where royalty shines (unfortunately I don’t think it shines much elsewhere). They can either help propel its people through tough times, or they can instigate them. Today’s modern royals (all of them, not just the BRF) have to figure out how to be useful in a world where stability is desired.

Margaret's wedding to Snowdon on the Crown was so sad. She's glowing and happy, thinking she's finally fulfilled her purpose in life (marriage and soon babies, as any 50s woman would think), AND she's escaped the Royal Family's confines by finding an unconventional man who loves her despite her title, not because of it. Then we get the scene with Snowdon and his mother in the car, where it's clear he's an ice-cold social climber with raging mommy issues he'll soon taking out on his wife. Tragic.

If the reports that Sparkle had a "12-week" scan just before Yuge's wedding in mid-October, it means she got pregnant in mid-July, and would have been due in mid-April., which was last week. So, either she's had the baby already, or the baby is quite late, which isn't uncommon in first babies, but again would probably have prompted inducement or a c-section in someone so small.

Constitutionally speaking, I wonder what the case would have been had the two only separated, and never legally divorced; this would have precluded either remarrying, and, technically, even with the marriage broken down, Diana would still legally have been entitled to have been crowned Queen Consort, although admittedly it would have been, er, awkward. But without a divorce, technically, she still would have moved on from Princess of Wales to Queen.

Many of the twats who work in PR or in the industry as they say in Hollywood, get undergrad degrees in communications. Let's not pretend it's a rigorous major, so it afford someone to double major easily, more so than say, microbiology which was my major. Only managed to also do minor in Russian language and doing so really knocked any chances for social life because I worked part-time too.

R296 - Personally, I think the insistence on keeping the birth more private and less royal is a silent gesture of payback by the Sussexes to the Queen for the (by now obvious) refusal to grant Harry's children the coveted HRH (I don't care what Meghan publicly pretends about not wanting titles - she lives for status and would have creamed in her knickers at having given birth to real Princes and Princesses).
I can on some level understand their reasoning: if we aren't that royal, why should we agree to the tiresome royal parade?
Of course, Anne's children had no titles, not even the "Earl" or "Lady" that Harry's children will have, and it didn't stop her from leaving the Lindo wing with the new baby and enduring some photos.
Everything about Harry and Meghan seems petulant and angry.

R302 - That WAS scandalous, and that undoubtedly was an IVF rescue. She was 35 when they married and her ONLY function was to give Albert heirs so that Monaco could avoid returning to a French protectorate, as the succession in Monaco still goes completely through the male line. I don't think Caroline's or Stephanie's (talk of too much backstory!) sons would have been eligible unless France agreed on a one-time basis.
Charlene at 35 would have gotten pregnant as soon as possible after the wedding but it took I think three years. So there's little doubt in my mind that those twins were IVF.
But much more was at stake for Albert (who would never have married at all left to his own devices) than Harry.

R308 - That hand kiss is not only allowed, it's a formal custom albeit only up the royal food chain. Charles kisses his mother's hand like that (he's done so accepting prizes from her at polo matches), and there is a photograph of Philip kissing the widowed Queen Mother's hand at her husband's funeral. It's a permitted gesture - King Felipe of Spain doing it would have been completely in line with custom.

No, Albert's sister's children could have inherited the throne if Albert never married. Monaco practices male-preference primogeniture but does not exclude female lines completely. If Albert had remained a bachelor, the line would have gone through Caroline and then her son Andrea and then his son Alexandre.
Fun fact: Illegitimate offspring can be legitimized in Monaco if their parents marry later. That's what happened with Andrea's son Alexandre. I don't think British laws of succession work that way, which is why Christopher Guest has the title rather than his older brother Anthony.

Meghan has a B.S. in Communications period. It is a degree itself, not some placemaker for any "understudy". If she had a B.A. in theater it would say so. I have a B.S. in Communications myself and that is how it works. Meghan also claims she studied international relations at Northwestern when they did not even offer that degree when she was there. They had a minor in international studies, which is not the same thing at all. I myself have a masters degree in IR from Northeastern. She LIED. No double major no double degree, just ONE B.S. in Communications period. Additionally the uncle for her the internship in which she lasted less than 6 months. She failed the foreign service exam to boot. Again, she LIES.

I agree somewhat with R390's accusation of it being a bad photo. The image is over-saturated and that makes the lines of Kate's face and her makeup look more severe. She's been photographed looking like this many times though so it's not a one-off. I agree with R391 that Kate looks more like Carole as she ages.

Ten pounds of weight would do wonders for Kate's face. I also think it's about time she went with shoulder-length hair rather than the long curls, and I agree she should soften the eye makeup. All of these changes together would easily take 5 years off her, if not more.

I think it's safe to say that it might be torture for a sensitive woman to appear in public with tons of photographs all over the world, whose husband has been exposed for having an affair with one of her close friends. People laughing, sneering or pitying her all over the world.
Same for MM. Whilst she's undoubtedly a lot harder and less sheltered than Kate, the horrible attacks in the press and the internet must make it an ordeal to appear in public and appear carefree.

Agree 100& R423. A sleek 'do, just above shoulder length, with height and fullness. Sort of Jackie-esque. Long and lush enough to still be youthful and sexy, but a little more mature and polished. DOMINANT hair. Kate's locks are versatile, with great body, and can do this.

Oooh, I like it, R434! And both Jackie and Kate are natural brunettes with olive skin complexions; I think that hair would look lovely on Kate...
It would be nice if she would change/lighten up her makeup routine too (less dark, less smokey); it would do wonders for her look in general (and I already think Kate is very naturally attractive).

R414 - Re Diana's looks, I agree on the height, but not on the nose. You forget the gorgeous skin, gorgeous legs, and huge blue eyes. The nose went with it all but wasn't defining. It was the height, the legs, the colouring - and that complexion.
I love Kate's outfit today, the colour is one of her best, and the coat itself has a very 1940s Retro look, finished off nicely with the covered buttons.
I think the matey chatting between Kate and Harry is perhaps only slightly forced - they're clearly aware they need to keep the side up to offset the feud but it's also likely that the issue probably was never between these two, anyway, but between Harry and William, and William and Meghan.
R450 - wrong thread.

R437 - The affair would never be "confirmed" by anything other than assertions by people in Meghan's camp. There isn't a shred of evidence or William's lawyers wouldn't have sent off that warning to the press, who have since laid off. If the press knew they had proof of any other sort than Mean Girl Gossip, they'd have told William to stuff it and gleefully went forward.
Just as they would if and when they get their hands on Megha's sex tape.

I disagree that MEghan is a more natural beauty. Like oft repeated, she is completely manufactured. In fact, look at her interaction with children, they literally recoil from her as if she was a malevolent presence. Meanwhile, Catherine carries an easy grace about her, and I appreciate that she is not afraid of having defining features that some imagine as looking harsh. I have no problem with her slender figure either but I come from a culture where we are simply very thin. I clearly remember Diana when she went through her gaunt phase and I just don't see it with the DoC. She owns her own unique style with gives her an air of authenticity that is sorely lacking with the DoS.

If torontopaper is to be taken seriously (and I don’t know if it is), then MM seems to be trying to extort some sort of payment from the RF.
Wouldn’t it be fabulous if she faked the pregnancy, then threatened to reveal the fakery unless they cut her a check?
But what would the exit plan be? Fake miscarriage? Bit late for that (and unbelievably bad juju.)
Though I suppose it’s probably more a run of the mill “pay me to go away” divorce situation.

You know, most of us on any kind of social media are guilty of one selfie too many, perhaps, or a bit too much virtue-signaling or humblebragging or all around doucheyness. If we have a bit of self-awareness, we pull back now and then. “No, I’m not going to post myself here.” Now imagine you’ve joined the royal family. You simply must check that impulse altogether. When in doubt, be humble and self-effacing, it’s the default. But this goes against everything an actress is about.

I went on my twitter and don't see him trending. It's a shame if he did cheat while being married and being a father. (people make stupid mistakes in their youth when teenagers and figuring themselves put. Harry cheated as well).
In that environment it seems to be the norm and accepted so it's not such a big tragedy. My issue is the timing and it seems to me to be leaked by meghan and Harry.
What gnaws at me is that it's a blatant attempt to make william look like villain number 1. And the Cambridge marriage a farce. Its hurtful to the kids as George is getting old enough to understand and may hear things in school. And by making william look bad in turn it makes meghan and Harry look like they are the perfect couple and better in every possible way. And absolves them of any mistakes.
Thats my issue. I think meghan and Harry's nasty victim sociopathic behavior is worse than cheating to me. Sorry to say.

The Cambridges will weather this: If they stay together and keep smiling, eventually the rumors will die down. It helps that most of the public doesn't want it to be true. They like the happy families fantasy. All of the power and money is behind Will and Kate, anyway. If Meghan is the source of the rumors, the Powers That Be will deal with her.

Meghan is cunning and ruthless, but she's up against a 1000-year-old institution. She may have some minor victories in the beginning, but she won't win the war. I wonder if she even knows what her goal is at this point? She has to know they'll never put her on the same level as Kate and Will, no matter how many nasty rumors she starts.

No matter if she's as sweet as a newborn baby bunny or if she's actually this ten headed Hydra you all paint her as being, THIS is what accompanies Meghan's every move. She cannot rub her eye without it being known IF there is truth to the possibility that she actually IS a grifting schemer bringing discord to the BRF, leaving trails of destruction in her wake. Surely she must know by now.

What is your point, R543? That Meghan is constantly watched? She knew the golden fishbowl was the price of marrying Harry. She gladly made that Devil's bargain in exchange for worldwide fame. In the year she's been married, she's done everything possible to bring even more attention to herself. I can't feel sorry for her if she finds the glare of the spotlight too hot right now.

R547 I have two different fan-fiction versions in my head:
#1 [Harry strides into a well-appointed den at Frogmore, where Meghan lies on a divan, scrolling through her phone.] M: Well, hello there. You certainly were BEAMING at your sainted sister-in-law today. H: Not the only thespian in the family, then, eh? M: [giggling salaciously]: Mmmmm, come here, you bad boy! Well done!
(That version is inspired by accounts I've read of Diana looking at morning headlines where she outshines Charles, and crowing, "Done it! Done it, done it, done it!")
#2. [Harry slowly enters a well-appointed den at Frogmore, where Meghan lies on a divan, scrolling through her phone.] M: Well, hello there. You certainly were BEAMING at your sainted sister-in-law today. H: Never mind that. What the FUCK is Twitter on about? M: [coldly] I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

R549, exactly. She WANTED IT.
I keep thinking of her snide commentary about princesses on the now-cached “The Tig”. How superior she supposed she was, to Duchess Kate. She already had a chip on her shoulder about Kate.
Sometimes women do this thing that has nothing to do with men, but about other women. For instance, we all know the saying that women don’t dress for men; they dress for other women. And I had a friend who was carrying on with a married man. One day I realized that she rarely talked about this man. She mostly talked about what a bitch his wife was, and how miserable his wife made him and what a cunt and why was he even with her when he could be with my friend who was so much sexier and better than THAT frau. Once in a while she’d mention a restaurant he took her to, or how they had to fuck in his car because he was too broke for a motel. Point is, she didn’t care about HIM, she cared about besting this woman she’d never met.
So I think it was with Meghan. Kate represents something to her, and she resents it and she wants to get AT it and destroy it. I’d guess it was a class thing, but Kate is not a true generational aristocrat. She should be shooting her arrows at another target, but they seem mostly focused on Kate.

Although not an aristocrat, Kate by all reports had a very loving, sheltered, and supportive family life and childhood. That is very hard to find.
MM had the opposite. Dysfunctional, trashy, chaotic, and splintered childhood and family. I can see why MM envies Kate.
I still get a very “off” vibe from Doria. Her whole backstory seems sketchy and sleazy.

MM!s level of narcissism would usually be an “equal and opposite” reaction to something undesirable in her upbringing.
That is, true narcissists react to horrible childhoods by basically saying to themselves, “I’m a perfect, Pretty Princess. This can’t be happening to me because I’m perfect.”
So I wonder what provoked this overcompensation from MM?

It could also be that Meghan resents Kate because Kate ISN'T an aristocrat. She sees them as equals and doesn't understand why Kate gets all of these extra perks that are denied to Meghan. She doesn't seem to understand that 1) Kate has been putting the time in for going on 20 years now and 2) in a monarchy, marrying the heir gets you thinks that marrying the spare will never, ever get you. Ironically, if Meghan had behaved herself well with Kate and Will, she'd have lost out on so many perks, like the big apartment at Kensington and access to the good jewelry.

It's funny that in a few recent articles that Doria's " missing in action " days have been briefly explained as her being an air stewardess and away a lot. I mean, in each article, just a tiny throwaway sentence, but it got it in there. This isn't the first time that MM has tried to copy Kate's background narrative ( and didn't Carole work ground, anyway? ). But these few sentences were bandied about when the " Doria the Jailbird " rumours picked up traction again. Such a crock of crap. As is the Doria the Make-Up Artist crap, when it's transparent that Thomas just banged up a teenage Doria.

She can't do anything like that though I wouldn't put it her past her to try so she can have another grudge to hold. Harry is close enough in the line of succession that HM has to approve the child's name. It will be a traditional royal name.
Andy and Fergie wanted to name one of their daughters Annabel and HM wouldn't allow it. At the time, Annabel's was the most popular nightspot in London.

Those photos of Harry and Kate from today. Wow. It's shocking how different his demeanor is with her. Relaxed and happy. He's making eye contact with Kate in a way he never does in public with MM.

R568 - The Queen does not have to approve the name for Harry's kids. It's still thought courteous to ask her, but they don't have to change it if she doesn't agree and at this point, even if she didn't agree, she'd probably let it go.
For William and Kate, it's different. I'm sure they wanted to be sure the Queen approved the next Heir's name, and the name they chose for the first-born and third in line was safe as houses, as it was the name the Queen's father ruled by.
For the other two Cambridge kids, there was less pressure, but still, the other two names weren't likely to offend. Charlotte was clearly a nod to "Charles" and as for Louis, that was also a nod to Charles, it was the name of his beloved Great-Uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten, the one murdered by the IRA, who had such a profound influence on Charles.
The Sussexes have a freer hand but I suspect Meghan will Go Royal with the first name and indulge her Woke Minority Persona with a second name. And of course, if it's a girl, we all know what the betting is on the first name.
Although, if she's smart, Meghan will go with Elizabeth to flatter HM - if it isn't too late to mend fences with BP.

I wonder if the Queen "not allowing" a certain name really just amounts to the parents proposing it, and her making a grimace of dislike or some mild (but devastating) comment. "Annabel. Hem. Isn't that a discotheque of some sort?" That's probably all it would take.

I’m starting to really think she is going to slink away fairly quietly (with a check, of course.)
It could be a combination of two or more of the following:
(1) pregnancy sketchiness of some kind, (2) sex tape of some kind, and/or (3) MN leaking Will’s affair.
Any combination of the above would cause HM to command them to divorce (a la Charles and Diana.$
MM is completely silent. That’s not like her, even if she is on maternity leave.
Something is up.

The Queen was right: Princess Annabel was too trendy to do anything but pall in later life.
The last time a perfectly acceptable name was really nixed by the Sovereign's disapproval was when Margaret was born in 1930. The then Duke and Duchess of York wanted to name her Anne, but King George V didn't like it, and the Yorks changed the new princess's name to "Margaret Rose".
I'm not too far younger than that era and I can tell you that in England and Scotland, the double name was incredibly popular and Margaret Roses sprang up like weeds. I even rant into an American woman in the 1960s whose Mum named her Margaret Rose after the new princess. The woman hated the name and went by Marnie or Marna or something like that, can't quite remember.

R573 - "'Tis a consummation devoutely to be wished," but I doubt it. My guess is that everyone has been told to cool it and let the fires die down. The baby will come, everyone will be ga-ga, MM will be on maternity leave, there will be a christening and only next summer and fall will we find out what's in the pipeline for the Sussexes. NN just got four patronages in January and if you want to believe Kaiser on CB she has been busy meeting with her patronages whilst on leave waiting for the birth.
It's way too soon for the divorce and payoff - the optics would be blinding for the BRF. No, the Africa Plan was the hint of how they're planning to contain the Sussexes.
And I doubt highly that there is a pregnancy hoax. Who knows about the sex tape?

I am genuinely very curious about the baby name and honestly can't begin to predict it. I think it will be somewhat original, a surprise. Imagine, this time next month we'll be throwing it around like crazy. I do wish Mrs. Sussex a nice, easy, safe delivery of a bonny, healthy baby. Then- back to the razzing!
As for royal women inspiring baby names, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't see a great many Dianas in their mid-late 30s. That name never did get trendy, which is odd.
Funny, Alexander/Alexandra is something I could definitely see Meg going for. But wait -- Alex Sussex? Maybe not. If she chooses Alice for a girl, it just might endear her to me. Love that name.

William's luckiest moment was the day Catherine Elizabeth Middleton entered his life. His defining moment was making her his wife. It is no small feat--in fact remarkable--that she continues to look increasingly better and better in her role in spite of an unrelenting harsh media glare. She is no show boater but damn if everyone always wants to look at her. She has become a model of restraint and easygoing grace all while being put in the awkward position of playing mediator between Wills, Harry, and the salad tossing frogwhore

The rumors aren't hurtful to the kids, at least not now. It will be a tad embarrassing for their mother when they get old enough to know what's up. But they'll be so rich and privileged that it won't matter. (It's like saying Apple Martin or Blue Ivy will get teased about their names - by who, their friends, the similarly rich, jaded kids of eccentric celebrities?) The real potential damage is to the family image (if not the actual family) of the Cambridges, which is important to their future role. The last thing the BRF need is another tense family situation like Charles and Diana had. One hopes they'll just shrug it off.
Today's Twitter assault, though, is most nefarious! William has got to be livid pissed.

Kate will shrug it off: The Queen is her role model. Elizabeth shrugged off decades of infidelity by Phillip, and came out of it looking all the more strong and gracious. Hopefully, if the infidelity rumors ARE true, William will learn to keep his fly zipped or at least unzip it in a more discreet manner. As a future King, he should have some fucking dignity about his fuckbuddies.
