British Royal Family Gossip Part 45

Skippy = racist 80 year old

Thread 45 and no baby announcement. Wel,

Kate looked quite lovely today - I seem to remember that she has a similar or the same dress in either a blue or lilac colour.

Kate looks fantastic in those tailored 40s styles, rendered in jewel tones.

People have criticized her for having a stuffy, stodgy style, but I think what she's been doing all along is building a consistent look like Her Maj. She doesn't want - or need - to be trendy. She wants to be dependable and have a signature look as the future Queen Consort. The stans at Celebitchy totally miss the point.

Someone said it in one of the previous threads already, but it's worth repeating. Kate has clearly found her "uniform". Just like the Queen, she's presenting herself in a reassuring, sensible manner. Nothing too shocking, and definitely "her" look. I suspect she will continue in the same vein for decades to come.

R3 - Yes, she knows how to highlight her assets: pretty legs, a trim middle, height, hair. Fine tailoring, a sleek look up top, feminised further with the swingy skirt and pumps. This is her signature look and it works perfectly not just for her but for official daytime events like this. She looks royal and dignified without screaming "expensive!"

R4 - And, yes, the consistentcy of the look is a shrewd strategy, one the Queen and the Queen Mother also adopted.

Kate understands it is a job with a uniform. She's not there to join the best dressed lists or whatever.

Great minds, R4!

Yes, it's clear from shots of her before she joined the Firm that her preferred style is sportier and sexier. Perhaps she still dresses like that when the cameras aren't around: At casual events, she sometimes defaults to it, hence her devotion to skinny jeans. But she's clearly found a formal look that works for her, whether or not it actually suits her private tastes. Most adults come up with something similar for their jobs, whether they are teachers or middle-managers or dukes/duchesses.

Yes, Kate looked lovely in the green dress.

But, help me here, why was no jacket or hat required?

Charlotte will be four tomorrow! Yay!

The cunt gave birth! According to some celeb!

Fill us in R13!

Thank you, R11. Your good wishes are appreciated.

Of course, it is expected my aunt will announce the arrival of her child on my birthday, even though it's already been born. Sigh. That's just how she rolls, and frankly I have too many matters of state to contend with to bother about it. I hope Mummy doesn't cry again, though.

When I viewed the Instagram post, the first two comments were:

[quote]Thank you for carrying on the issues that were brought to the forefront of public attention by our beautiful Duchess of Cambridge, the more people who share her vision the better for all of us!

[quote]Here's to a true mental health advocate - The Duchess of Cambridge. Who carried out three engagements yesterday on this issue. Without all that "ooh look at me!" bs

R13 we need the details!

Radio host Chris Evans speculated on air this morning that baby is already born because Queen has visited Frogmore Cottage - he reasons that she would have no other reason to visit them there.

Oh him? The blert.

An intricate dress designed by Elsa Schiaparelli for Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester. Quite a wonderful video, showing the detail. Click the sound on. If you'd like to learn more about it , of course, lol.

What is the gender, sex, specie, genus, and phylum of the pillow? Do tell.

Quite a few negative comment's on the Sussex Instagram, people are very confused why she stopped following the other royals and also her patronages, like wtf. A few people suggested it's an instagram hack to trick the algorithm so the other royal pages don't get linked when she posts the pictures of her Bebe froglette. What a psycho, she really must be pissed that KP's instagram is still gaining followers.

Saw that R22.

Determined to break the internet, hey? If that is her trick, of course. Trashy.

Love the Kate support on MM’s IG. I am so tired of the loudest getting the kudos. And I do think she is employing some sort of IG hack w the follower change.

So I guess the cushion is about to be removed soon, to be announced on Charlotte's birthday too. All the insta likes will prove once and for all that MM is Queen of the Internet not just the pesky UK that funds her PR to push these very initiatives and machinations on instagram.

It’s hard to believe these social media “influencers” take this shit (followers, likes, engagement) so seriously, but apparently they do. I guess the numbers matter from the standpoint of monetization.

Hmm are DM readers losing interest in all things Sussex? The instagram article has been up for 5 hours and has less than 1000 comments.

Meghan and Harry will eventually have more followers, I assume, because of their support outside the UK. For me, the more interesting statistic to compare would be the percentage of UK followers of each account, since they're the ones paying the bills. My guess is that the Kensington account has a much higher percentage.

I'm beginning to think Meghan has a phantom pregnancy.

Would be hilarious if the Kensington account copied the baby photos and reposted them on the KP account in a "congratulations" message.

Strange that there isn't any official memorabilia for Baby Sucks. MM must be marketing her own after the birth and pocketing the profits. Another example of how the British economy benefits from the royals-not!

Well this is interesting, Harry's fucking off to Amsterdam next week. So much for paternity leave.

Oprah's blabbing about how "proud" she is of Meghan for breaking with 1000 years of tradition (really now?) and refusing to to the Lindo Wing photo shoot. She also bragged about getting a gift for the baby, and how she has a special go-to gift for people she really cares about. What a fucking kiss-ass; she wouldn't even have talked to Meghan two years ago. She's really working on that godparent angle.

I think MM had the tadpole, the Queen would never visit unless there was bebe .

The bastard! Amsterdam? What about me?

I don’t think the frogbaby is born yet . We didn’t hear the choir of croaks to announce the birth of that special child ! 😂

I'm sure the Queen and her aides and entourage would have been spotted rolling into Froggy Hollow, should she have visited.

The baby is overdue at this point and Harry is going off to Amsterdam???

r29 I ran Kensingtonroyal through hype auditor. 10% of the followers are from UK, 21% from US. 7% from Australia Strangely 5% are from Brazil. 7.4% are suspicious accounts, 5.3% are mass followers (use automatic tools, follow accounts to make them follow back). For sussexroyal 10% of followers are from the UK, 33% are from the US, 7% Australia, 4% Brazil and Canada. 5.8% are suspicious accounts, 6.5% mass followers.

Thanks R29. Why is such a large percentage unaccounted for (on both accounts)?

R43 should say Thanks, R41.

Why doesn't oprah shut the fuck up! She doesn't understand how royalty works and thinks she knows more than the British people and the queen herself. This is the reason why trump won. When celebrities get involved everyone just want to spite them and do the opposite.

Interesting that only 10% are from UK.

Out of the mouths of babes.

Regarding the DM story about the Harry and Meghan naming their daughter Allegra...

I just remembered that Lord Mountbatten's daughter Pamela Hicks has a son named Ashley and his first wife was Italian-born woman named Allegra Tondato. She's a talented designer - pretty and elegant.

R34 - Does Oprah know that there was no Lindo Wing existed 1,000 years ago, and that the View the Baby Tradition was rooted in the need to assure that no "switch" had occurred, and that the photo op these days is just a vestigial remnant of that, and that in reality it only applied to those in the direct line of succession?

Does she also know that everyone suspects that Meghan looks like shit right now and just doesn't want to be seen fat and tired with scraggly grey hair leaving the hospital because of how unfavourably she'll compare to Kate, who was well on the sunny side of 35 when she emerged after George's birth, and that the UK public greatly appreciated the brief gesture - after which William drove his wife and new baby home like any other new Dad where they were perfectly able to "celebrate privately as a family"?

R45 - I love those highwayman style hats the Queen Mother used to wear to give herself more height. Shame the style's gone out, although I think Maxima of The Netherlands shows up in them once in a while.

Its the only way Oprah can make herself relevant these days .

If Kate likes a certain style of dress, she'll buy it in different colors.

Oprah doesn't get it or even wants to. Oprah, the clooneys, Beyonce etc think they know better and everyone else is stupid. If the queen herself sat down and explained everything and why meghan had got it so spectacularly wrong, oprah et al still would still refuse to be humble and make meghan a poor victim.

Oprah still thinks it's 2011. She doesn't realize that everyone has moved on.

Kate made a speech today.

This lady made Kate laugh.

If they've announced a two-day visit next week for Harry to go to The Netherlands (which admittedly is just a hop across the Channel, it's not as if he's headed for Lesotho), either the baby has already have arrived, or they have scheduled an imminent elective C-section and know that by next week, the visit will be feasible for Harry. Possibly both, of course. It is odd that they would announce such a visit if he were still waiting anxiously for his wife to go into labour.

When did the Queen visit them? And has she ever done that before? Don't they usually take the baby to see her?

R51 Oprah's reign ended ages ago. She is just a sad fuck looking to be relevant. For those old enough to remember Oprah was obsessed with Diana back in the day, I think back then, her biggest goal was to interview Diana for her TV show but it never happened. I think she is now living vicariously through Diana's dim wit Harry when we all know she secretly would prefer to be socialising with William and Kate.

R60 - No, HM dropped by Kensington Palace to see the Cambridge kids after they were born. It's not unusual. What's unusual is dropping by before the baby is born. If HM dropped by, again it signals to me that the baby arrived within the last two weeks and the Sussexes are taking their time about announcing.

Still, it's odd that Harry would take an overnight trip when he has a newborn that's less than a week old.

R61 so was Clooney. I found his little press conference infuriating. If I were william and Harry in would've been so annoyed. Always thought he wanted to be with her. Create a global couple. Hope oprahs new endeavours fail.

Sophie makes a video in India.

I read that DM article about the school that Kate visited. Can't help but think if that had been Meghan, she would've made it all about herself by saying something like how she was made to feel excluded as a child. Kate, I think was both dignified and empathetic in her interactions with teacher and students there. She was bullied in school herself and never made that into a ploy to get sympathy or attention. Instead, I think her interest in child/ family mental health in no small part stems from that experience. Imagine if that was Meghan, not only would we be reminded of her victimhood 24/7 but she'd be using it as crutch for why she's such a cunty social climber.

Going back to that DM story, it's important for patrons and people who support these mental health charities to make it all about the members and staff of those organizations, and not about themselves as patrons/ volunteers. If you spend just a little time with people who use such mental health services, you'll know that they're very perceptive and can smell your insincerity from blocks away. When I was fulfilling clinical hours for my psychiatric DNP, I'd spent a small portion of time at schools and adult mental health rehabilitation centers similar to the one that Kate had visited today. Most of my hours were spent at mental hospitals, jail psych settings, or private psychiatric practices. But I absolutely loved these community-based programs helping members to maximize their ability to function and contribute to society.

One of the worst things you can do is to assume that just because a person has chronic or serious mental illness, that they're unintelligent and therefore you talk DOWN to them instead of treating them as people coping with unique challenges. This is why you take your cue from them and allow them to let you know what their needs are, instead of writing pretentious, dumbfuckery messages on bananas that just drips of insincerity and condescension.

Now with this asinine Oprah collaboration on faux mental health issues, and promotion of rich frau yoga group as being on par with actual mental health programs, this is just turning into a fucking shit show and as an actual, practicing mental health professional who work with actual patients who have real mental health or emotional problems, this makes my blood boil. No Meghan you cunt, yoga classes and aromatherapy WILL NOT heal people from emotional, mental health, or behavior disorders. I know you like yoga on a very superficial level, but please stop making this about you, and in the process make it worse for people living with real mental health challenges. You and dumbass Harry have zero training in mental health, the best that you could've done is what Kate did today and has done in the past. That is, show up and offer genuine empathy to the members/ staff, lend your presence to promoting public awareness of these organizations and the work that needs to be continued. Kudos Kate, really appreciate your realness.

Maybe it’s not a week old, R63; maybe it’s not even expected for weeks and the ones who said MM announced early were right all along?

R64 I forgot about that! He had a thing for Diana. I remember being disgusted with Clooney's grandstanding and trying to get attention when Diana died. No wonder William is never near him.

It's already been announced that Harry would take a four month paternity leave, so I think it's odd that he has an engagement that's been just added to the Court Circular. But....I've also seen a new birth date being bandied around of 17th May.

If she's due 5/17, how far along was she at Eugenie's wedding?

Bet Hazza gets wasted at Soho House, Amsterdam...I'll be JUDGING HIM when I see pic's from The Hague, the next day.

I think these birthday photos of Charlotte have been leaked early.

Fuck knows R70, probably pissed on the stick that morning? Wouldn't make sense of the pre-planned cunty outfit, though, lol.

R66 Very well said, I couldn't agree more! She is diminishing the reality of mental illness, one of the tags on her latest insta post is for a mediation app, ffs as if that's going to help serious mental illness.

Noticed Harry has stopped wearing that black fitness tracker (?) ring. What was that, anyway?

She would have been 5 weeks pregnant at Eugenie's wedding...wearing a maternity coat...what a bitch.

R75 the homing device MM attached to him, maybe Lord Geidt removed it last Sunday at Windsor and now he is free to roam in Amsterdam

Is MM interested in mental illness or mental wellbeing for the worried well ? The yoga and meditation app are great tools for the worried well but not necessarily for the mentally ill.

R76 the ultimate cunt act. Wow the Yorks will hate her more if that was possible

The story about the Queen visiting came out AFTER the story about the Cambridges visiting. It's like the Cambridge story didn't get her the press she wanted so now she's moved on to the Queen. So I think both stories are her PR. If the Queen had visited first that would have been the story you led on, not the Cambridges.

Do you think the surrogate has realised that UK laws allow her to keep the baby? I don't think I could give up a baby to MM, she seems like a crazy biatch.

Harry is looking old all of a sudden.

If he turns into an absolute porker, his eyes will practically disappear.

R81 He has really fugged up in the last year, not that he was great to start with.

Harry turns my stomach these days.

Every time I see his mouth I imagine that stiff looking beard smelling of Markle’s cunt. And I bet he doesn’t clean those tombstone teeth very often.

Bleurgh.

All the UK tabloids are saying the aquamarined eyed one is already born and they're holed up in Frogmore.

They need to turn OFF the comments on that IG or it will be a gathering place for Skippy fraus talking about pillows, padding and prison.

R84, Harry and Wills are fugtastic. Just nasty looking.

Re the Lindo shoot before they take the baby home, Kate looked fabulous for each of her babies, but it's not like she didn't have help with hair, makeup, and wardrobe!

'Do you think the surrogate has realised that UK laws allow her to keep the baby? I don't think I could give up a baby to MM, she seems like a crazy biatch.'

Dumbass R80. Skippy is amongst us.

Oh come on now!

Wills and Harry are not bad looking.

They have Diana's nose and certain Windsor features, but each is an attractive man.

R86 Yeah, but William doesn’t look like his breath would send you flying.

R72, Princess Charlotte has personality!

We prefer Alpha Dick Willy! He's come a long way in the past 1000 posts here!

Dark eyed Charlotte. How come two light eyed parents have three children with BROWN eyes? Maybe we should be looking at Will and Kate more carefully.

Harry does have a stinky vibe.

R89 William was so gorgeous when he was younger, Harry has always been unfortunate but compensated by having a decent body. Unfortunately Windsor men don'f fair well when they age, neither do the Spencers

All Hail King William with his big willy and scarfing action

R93 - Kate has hazel eyes - brownish green. She isn't "light-eyed" the way Diana and Charles and their blue-eyed kids are. Kate likely carries brown-eyed DNA that would usually overwhelm the more recessive blue eyes. She's a total brunette, not a fair English Rose like her late mother-in-law.

Take your tin hat off. It's spring.

R93 haha Kate has green eyes so she has the brown eyed gene. I have two brown eyed kids and I have green eyes and their father blue. I don't think Kate was fucking around

Andrew looked okay in his 30s. He kept his hair, for one.

Randy Andy was hot back in the day, he wouldn't be too bad now if he laid off eating like a pig and he has hair unlike the others.

R93 - Charlotte is the only Cambridge child with BLUE EYES like the Windsors. George and Louis have BROWN EYES like Kate's side of the family.

R93 learn about genetics please and what are light eyed people? Go back to making your nacho casseroles

Here's Meghan's favourite go-to , so I'm presuming the baby will arrive after Harry returns, then. And Charles returns.

It’s extremely odd that he’d schedule an event that takes him out of the country next week. Either Markle will be due to drop or he’ll have a new born.

What if there’s an emergency? What is she or baby are unwell?

Most “normal” dads wouldn’t do this.

No tin hat here, but it’s odd.

Charlotte is gorgeous and I like her sass, reminds me of William when he was little. She looks like him too and the Queen as well. Interesting they have released the photos early, maybe the froglette has spawned and the Cambridges want Charlotte to have some of the limelight before MM shits all over her birthday

See how it feels in reverse? You bitches are happy to drag MM, but get all outraged when green eyed Kate is questioned. Her eyes are bright green, not hazel, and Wills' are a light blue.

Mine are bright green, my mum's are blue. My dad's were brown.

I was disappointed when George got none of his parents' looks. He has Kate's terrible eye bags, muddy brown eyes and an unremarkable face. Bit like what happened with Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian's kids.

R106 What are you on about? Her eyes are not even remotely “bright green”.

And piss off with your ranting. No one is dragging Kate.

R104, Amsterdam is an hour's flight, he can be there and back the same day. It doesn't mean THERE IS NO BABY, stupid Larrie.

R109, you are dragging Megan non stop for no reason. I don't like boring Kate.

R106 Learn about genetics moron, my eyes are bright green, husbands are blue, both my kids have really dark brown eyes like my mother and yet my mother didn't have any brown eyed kids. Green eyed people carry the brown eyed gene. Charlotte's eyes are dark blue anyway. Go back to your _duchess_of_sussex or sussexsquad Instagram and cream your pants over MM there.

'Maybe the froglette has spawned and the Cambridges want Charlotte to have some of the limelight before MM shits all over her birthday'

Absolutely vile person. F and F this troll.

I’m with R104. I think it’s odd. Just really soon to be traveling after birth of your firstborn. OR she just isn’t due yet and she announced super early for attention. I also think it’s odd that the people article said Meghan herself said late April. So maybe she has already given birth... but then is Harry not taking paternity? Gonna keep working because they are just the most hardworking devoting royals ever?!

R110 What part of “no tin hat here” are you struggling to understand, you pig ignorant cunt?

I have been one of the foremost voices on here telling the “pillow baby” arseholes to piss off.

It’s ODD because it’s ODD. It would be ODD whoever it was. Most new fathers wouldn’t do that.

Charlotte's eyes are green, not blue. George's are brown and Louis' hazel.

I see we are being invaded by the Meghan Stans, please to back to Celebitchy or Lainey

That picture Dinwit put up of himself is OLD. You can tell by his diminishing hairline.

R111 And we don’t like illiterate twats like you, so be gone. Isn’t there a pic Of MegHan you should be tossing over, or something?

'What part of “no tin hat here” are you struggling to understand, you pig ignorant cunt?'

Brainless frau. Anyone who says 'no tinhat BUT' is a fucking tinhat. Megan won't be alone in Frogmore, they have staff who can help if she is ill.

Sick of the pathetic Kate stans. That woman has never worked or even tried to have a career.

R113 I think you are on the wrong forum, go back to Lainey or Celebitchy and back to tending your Meggie Shrine you have erected in your basement

You can’t even spell her name, you ridiculous old loon.

No one cares about you or your rants so take your smelly, diseased arsehole and piss off.

Richard Palmer still has that black screen post up, the one he said was a mistake, phone went off in his pocket blah. Maybe the baby was born on the 27th, then? News blackout. But if so, what happened to the four month leave?

Fucking tragic Kate stan at R123. That bad tempered leech has lived off the Royals since she left Edinburgh Uni. Meghan had a thriving career as an actress. Kate is just an insipid housewife.

You American posters are nuts. You can fly to Amsterdam and back in a DAY. It is a ONE HOUR flight, like flying into the next state.

R125 - Kate went to St Andrews University. You really are too stupid to post here.

Little problem R125, she didn't go to Eddy Uni.

I mean R127!!!!!

OMG I DO MEAN r125!!!!

WTF R106, you're pissy about majority here not dragging on Kate so you dig bigger hole that shows your dumbfuckery by doubling down about ignorance regarding basic genetics. Choose one, either be stupid and silent or proudly ignorant, don't be both.

Alice Elizabeth Windsor sounds classy.

William Windsor is a hilarious name. What was dozy Diana thinking?

Bland Kate has never even tried to have a career.

R131, I'm British and I've never liked dumbass Diana or your precious Kate. I do quite like Meghan. She's different and she had a successful career which she could easily go back to if she gets tired of fugtastic Harry.

Give me Kate instead of Meghan . Meghan and her so-called thriving career wasn’t so great . She would be redundant a year back and aging out of the sexy roles . And look who came along to rescue her of working for the rest of her life . Our dear Prince Harry . Maybe she worked 10 years bit its not she worked her entire life . 7 years on Suits and some supporting roles now and then . Bit oh I worked sooo hard !

Kate hasn't tried having a career because she didn't have to do so. If she didn't marry William, she would've married someone who would've provided for her and their children without her having to work. I know it's pains feminists to hear, but many women if given a chance, would choose to be a stay at home wife/ mom than work for a living. Different strokes for different folks, why do women feel like one side superior to another? If it works for you find, but don't be judging other women for their own choices. Stay in your fucking lane.

Eugenie got another patronage. Full on working royal now?

Understand how triggered and tired the Meghan stans must be. The only thing they can rag on about Kate is that she never pursued a career seriously. Big fucking whoop. While they must be seething that Meghan's faults are laying bare for all to see: the ghosting of family/ friends/ ex-husband, shady attention-seeking, fake and shameless self-promotion of humanitarianism, post-baby contract with ex-husband, and camera-hogging narcissism. I can go on but I don't want to trigger the stans any more than necessary.

Yup! he's going to visit some high class whores in Amsterdam!

Her due date was April 28 according to reports.

Sorry apparently I’m just an ignorant American. I didn’t realize she had several already and that this isn’t new.

Having an undeserving person named Camilla as Colonel of any regiment is laughable.

R125 - After 15 years of trying, that "thriving actress" hit her peak at 35 with a secondary role on a joke Canadian cable show. She couldn't make it in Hollywood, she tried but couldn't turn herself into Gwyneth Paltrow, and she only got the Suits job through her first husband. Lots of people didn't even know who she was when the news broke. She was a C-list nobody and Suits was the only decent acting job she ever got. She's a fraud. Besides Suits, the images the world has of her is as the Deal or No Deal Suitcase girl, looking like a hyena in heat.

She was aging out of the Suits role and knew that at 35 her days were numbered, Suits was probably on life-support, and she had to compete with fresher prettier women ten years younger than she.

Enter Prince Harry - talk about a knight in shining armour: her fortunate catch rescued her from likely oblivion in the near future as she headed for forty.

Please - go back to Celebitchy or Lainey where the sun rises and sets on Meghan Markle.

So is Harry’s engagement in Amsterdam a one-day thing? I wouldn’t think it very odd if so. Yes, he could do it in one day, if it were just appearing to make a speech and shake some hands and eat lunch.

First babies take a while to arrive, from first labor pains until they’re out in the world. Even if she had some twinges in the morning and he left anyway, he could be back in time for the delivery. Second babies can come very quickly, however.

She's had the baby and already, he can't stand all the crying and dirty diapers. You know MM is "hands on" type and wants everything her way...she probably instructed Harry to change diapers and other chores to bond with the baby. After a few days, the party boy's had enough and begged for a work trip overseas...Amsterdam was just the answer! A whore will already be waiting for him in his suite.

It's a 1 hour and 15 mins flight to Amsterdam from London and H will, no doubt, travel by private plane. He'll have a shorter commute than many of his fellow Londoners.

Who ever calls William Windsor? He was William Wales at school.

r85 - which UK tabloids are these? The ones in your imagination?

The Megistans repeatedly get tripped up because on top of being humorless twats they know nothing about the BRF, GB, and they don't care. Celebitches' ignorance shines brightly.

Please, neither Meghan nor Harriet nor any member of the royal family needs to worry about crying or dirty diapers. Help takes care of that.

Harriet, whoops. AutoCorrect did that!

Eugenie's new patronage.

I’m glad for Eugenie she is giving more royal work . I like her .

More about the refugee camp/red carpet dichotomy that modern day do-gooders struggle with:

[quote]Markle is aware of the dissonance between her interest in humanitarianism and her showbusiness career. She recalled, while driving back from the refugee camp, receiving an email from her manager with an invitation to the Bafta awards.

[quote]“A high-end jewellery company was going to fly me in, dress me in the fanciest of gowns, and I would travel straight from Kigali to Heathrow, London, to the makeup chair and on to the red carpet,” she said. “‘No,’ my heart said. And it wasn’t a soft whisper; it was a lion’s roar.”

Yeah. She got an invitation to the BAFTAs all right.

R149 Wouldn't it be funny if the baby frog was called Harriet

Yesterday's ultra weird posts on Part 44 were a lot more fun than today's.

Lighten up, everyone!

No. a control freak like MM will want to do it everything herself, esp in the beginning...

Meghan looks very different before botox in that photo linked by R152. That jawline overwhelms her face and her smoky eye makeup makes her eyes look too close-set instead of sexy which was what she was hoping for. She's also one of those women who should avoid the thick eyebrow trend that's thankfully dying down. Her too-thickly drawn brows are too close to her eyes and in fact make them seem smaller. In her earlier photos when she was in high school/ college, she had thinner more shaped brows that looked better with her features. But that's what bougie or basic women do when it comes to trends, they follow blindly without accounting for whether they're suitable or look better with these trends.

[quote] I know it's pains feminists to hear, but many women if given a chance, would choose to be a stay at home wife/ mom than work for a living. Different strokes for different folks, why do women feel like one side superior to another? If it works for you find, but don't be judging other women for their own choices. Stay in your fucking lane.

Dear anti-feminist R135 thank the feminists for advocating for the validation of the work of stay at home wife/mother as (unpaid) secretary, housekeeper, nurse, educator, life coach etc.

And FWIW, traditionally around the globe (including wherever you live), few women have had the luxury or being stay at home wives or mothers. Working class women usually had part-time or full time jobs to bring in extra income and rural women managed the "vegetable garden" which was used to feed the family (as opposed to the farm, which was for the family's business). Feminists reclaimed the stories of these types of women's work.

Why lie about something that is so easily disproven? In 2016, hellobeautiful.com reported on February 3 that Markle had just returned from Rwanda. The Baftas were Feb 14, 2016.

I think Meg is a delightful climber/villainess/adventuress in this soap, and try as I might, I can’t help thinking she’s very pretty. There’s a winsome, fetching look about her.

I always wondered where how she conjured up "Tig." Doesn't the Guardian champion her now (as much as it can a member of the RF)? That article certainly highlighted her pretensions.

[quote]Markle established an online brand, The Tig, for “those with a hunger for food, travel, fashion and beauty”. She said it was named after what she called her “ah-ha moment” when she had a sip of the expensive wine Tignanello “which opened up my palate and perspective to wine knowledge”.

R159 - I don't see anything "delightful" about a climber/villaness/adventuress but to each their own.

Because she doesn't think ahead R158. She doesn't even fathom that people WOULD check. She is, and was, so self-consumed it's actually alarming.

She wanted a bit of GOOP attention, I reckon R160. Maybe hoping that she'd harvest Paltrow's followers?

R157 Sit your preachy "feminist" ass down. Today's feminism the sort of mainstream drivel that's overtaken by celebrities seeking publicity on SM, yeah I'm looking at Meghan, Chrissy Teigen, and numerous other fame whores. Feminism isn't about tearing down other women's choices, even if that choice involves traditional roles which, the post I was responding to had stated or strongly implied. So stop preaching unrelated stuff about working class women and vegetable gardens crap. My working class mom worked 3 different jobs support my brother and me, I have a doctorate as result of her work ethics instilled in me. So bitch, don't preach about working class women this and that, I lived it with my mom and her friends. True feminism can withstand criticism into negative aspects of the movement that's developed today in our rush to judgement, presumed guilt before innocence, celebrity feminism versus real problems women face in patriarchal societies driven by religion etc...

However, I was talking about loony Meghan stans who can't think of anything else about Kate to rag on about, except that she never had a fucking career. Then you turned this into a teaching moment by being a sanctimonious feminist preaching to DL'ers who you presume to be rich or clueless. GTFO.

"Winsome and fetching" are catch phrases from the nutters.

Hie thee off, ye refugee of CB and @Sussexroyal, to the outlands of Meghanstan where you can congregate your language of word salad.

R165, please stop trying to police the thread. Gay men love divas like Meghan and it's fine to express admiration or affection for her. Why should we admire Stepford wife Kate? She is dull and uninteresting.

Nope, not ALL gay men, witless ass.

She's disappeared for a while and I have no doubt she's been planning a lot. All to promote her brand and to make the cambridges look bad. Just trying to think what she will do.

R158. Narcissists lie, and then they lie about the lie. They don't give a fuck.

R167, you are clearly a frau anyway. Every single time someone on here expresses a fondness for Meg, you try to shut it down by telling them to go to another site. ALL gossip sites have anti Markle trolls/truthers like you and also people who like her. There are haters and stans everywhere.

“The Tig” derives from what she describes as a lightbulb moment over a glass of Tignanello. Which has always made me wonder whether she thought it was pronounced Tig-na-nello.

Trolldar shows that R167 is a Meghan truther who thinks she is 'padding' and will try to pass a surrogate baby off as her own. She really would be more at home with the other tinhats on Tumblr. She could easily be Skippy.

R167 is the troll who wrote this:

'So I guess the cushion is about to be removed soon, to be announced on Charlotte's birthday too. '

Um, not really. Every single time you're wrong.

Kate did a great job today. I admire her work in raising awareness. Maybe with 3 engagements in one day she'll make the top 5 of hardest working Royals this year?!

More goss on Diana though, please. She was much more fascinating than this new generation.

Speaking of Stepford wives, what's the Frogmores' crap PR up to, besides unfollowing the BRF and giving style advise on Muppet's wig?

Do you hold these people and others along their lines in greater esteem than you hold yourselves? Just wondering....

R177, the worship of bland women like Kate Middleton is incomprehensible. At least Meghan has some fire, feistiness and individuality. The Royal Family hasn't seen anyone like her since Wallis Simpson. We've seen dozens of Catherine Middletons.

Oh please MM is a whore. she whored her way to acting jobs. Now she's got herself a prince! Bravo! She's the idol of whores everywhere...

She will be getting more plastic surgery soon, many women look older after babies...must be the birthing ordeal...

R178 - when will your water break, bitch? You've been in labor much too long now!

Some see "fire, feistiness, and individuality" and other see NPD.

Baby name suggestion: Victoria Henrietta. Charles I’s queen was Henrietta Maria so it could be a nod to both Harry and Prince Charles.

It is interesting to speculate about MM’s involvement in child care. If she’s like the real-life type A women I know, she will make a public show of changing diapers and breastfeeding (“she manages to do it ALL!”) but in private she will micromanage the employees who are doing it. Why be a martyr and do the drudge work when you can have the satisfaction of pointing out how others are doing it wrong?

My late MIL was a successful business woman who made no secret of how boring she thought that job was. (“I had no interest in nursing. I had things to do and I’m not a dairy cow!”)

Sigh, R181 should be "others"

Frogmella the Whorella. Slept with Harvey Weinstein for the part of Fed Ex Girl ( 30 seconds on screen) and tried to get into Donald Sutherland's pants on the first day of filming by telling him "apparently I'm going to be in love with you by lunchtime". Probably hand on chest, doe-eyed and cross-eyed ( see engagement interview).

That will be an elefant birth . Not sure how he or she is going to fit in the frogpond . They will have to move a bit and leave some big space so babyfrog can fit in . 😂

It's not that ME has anything that would recommend herself despite R178's cunt-stink slobber. It is the fact that the Duchess of Tacky she is so pathetically bad--at fashion, in comportment, wit, taste, design, as to be incredulous she got as far as she did (by duping a man, that's it)--yet she continually digresses even further in her woeful lack of substance.

You are clearly demented to confuse, for example, that tragic wedding dress as reflection of whatever "fire" you imagine she has.

Fire, feistiness, individuality, fetching, winsome... relentless word salad in the MEghanstan dialect

How about FRAUD.

Parenting an infant can be extremely draining and boring. It will be interesting to see how Meghan copes with it.

The true harlot was Kate Middleton and her Kris Jenner style momager, who ensured she got into St Andtews and then launched her straight at the Heir like a heat seeking missile.

It was a long eight years before Wills gave up his mistresses and decided to marry Waity Katie. He saw he was losing his hair and his looks and finally committed.

God, these Meghan vs. Kate mudslinging posts are so boring. NEXT.

Yes lets discuss MM ‘s PR strategies, those posts are fun!

I loved the Instagram pictures of Princess Charlotte today. She really does look like Queen Elizabeth III.

R161 I'm talking about entertainment value. I am entertained by her schemes and machinations. Meghan, to me, is a modern-day Becky Sharp.

To the one who hates my "winsome and fetching" post and prefers such phrases as "cunt-stink slobber" - you're a middle-aged Frau and significantly overweight, aren't you? Begone!

Exactly, R191. I have no problem with anyone dragging Kate OR Meghan as long as the posts are witty and insightful. But there's no faster way to kill a thread than "She's a whore/NO, SHE'S a whore" back-and-forth bullshit.

Famous actress Meghan will make sure she hires a couple of nannies so she can carry on with her philanthropy and get her figure back. Harry knows she could lose interest at any point and go back to LA, so he lets her have free rein over all the household arrangements. Harry is besotted with Meg, far more so than Wills ever was with Kate.

Meghan would be feted in Hollywood if she returned a divorcee. Harry knows that, and he is careful.

R193, I agree that Meghan's Becky Sharpish adventures have added new zest to the dull official Royal narrative. I'm really enjoying her delightful pettiness, her latest poisoned arrow being unfriending all other Royal Instagrams so that they can't leech off of the traffic she'll get for her Baby Sussex posts.

Though I do wonder if she realizes that she's torn through all her big PR moments in a year: The wedding and the first baby reveal were bound to be her big moments. They'll be nothing like them on her future social calendar.

R178 - Bland is what keeps monarchy alive in the 21st century, you fucking moron. They have the Kardashians for the rest. Why the fuck would UK taxpayers shell out for nice homes for the Kardashians?!

Yeah, they already had a star with fire - Diana Spencer. She nearly ended the whole fucking show.

People with fire are usually only interested in warming themselves. The quiet bland types serve the survival of the monarchy.

They can represent everyone - not just the "woke" amongst the populace.

Princess Fire and Music!

R197, Diana and Meghan both injected new life into the fusty famille. Kate seemed promising but has turned out to be disappointingly Stepford.

Nobody is impressed by your bizarrely emotional, expletive laden rants. I much prefer 'winsome and fetching'.

You can't have a good soap opera without an Alexis AND a Krystal. Meghan and Kate are neatly filling the necessary roles.

I love how Meghan upsets the Kate stans.

Good one, R200!

The extreme Meghan and Kate stans are both nuts. These women could give a shit about any of us unless it was for a photo op. Defending them like they're a real life fan is just sad. These women wouldn't spit on any commoner if he/she were on fire.

Alright, Royal Revelers, let’s get back to William, Kate, David Rocksavage, and our lovely Rose.

Surely this has been tossed about (no pun intended, truly), but just in case it hasn’t, my take on that situation is as follows:

The foursome were swinging. Kate and Rose were exploring each other’s secret gardens, while William and Mr. Rocksavage were discreetly sneaking into each other’s backyards.

They’re all whores, and beards, darlings. Marriage necessary for hereditary purposes and insurance of proper Royal Heirs only.

Also, I believe Kate went into this marriage believing that Willie was PERHAPS a LITTLE bi, however, has now found out that he prefers David’s rock, savagely.

Apparently, David prefers men to women, and it’s almost a miracle that he impregnated Rose.

Apologies if this has already been speculated upon. Surely, being DL, it has.

If only Meghan was truly malevolent and could wreak some real damage, but she has been well behaved and classy so far.

R199 - Oh please, DO fuck off back to Lainey and Celebitchy.

Diana nearly ended the whole show and ended up destroying herself. The best she could do after they booted her out at the end of her life was a pathetic druggie dependent on his Papa's money.

It took the BRF a couple of decades to get past the damage Diana did.

If they're lucky, they'll find a way to get rid of Sparkle sooner.

Two for a fiver, Cats Protection League charity shop, Abergavenny, Wales.

.....last week on "Rich White People......"

R205 - thanks for the laugh today!

Sophie is usually ALONE on royal engagements I notice, r46. Where's Edward?

R205 - Yes, we noticed her classy habit of letting bras show, panties show, and nearly her twat whilst 8 months pregnant in a wrinkled dress that missed giving her a Sharon Stone moment by an inch. Then there was her terribly classy act at the 50th anniversary of the PoW Investiture - oh, and did I forget to mention allowing an "anonymous" friend drop the Archbishop of Canterbury's name in a cheesy PEOPLE Magazine article?

Meghan Markle aspires to class but somehow she still reeks of Wannabe.

Meghan's a weird Rorschach test. Some see winsome and fetching; others see cunty and STD-laden. *Shrug*

Not as bad as Kate wearing such cheap dresses that her skirt flew up to her waist as she boarded planes.

If this WERE a fictional soap, I would end Meghan's reign of terror by taking out the Harry character. Without him, she has no real connection to the Royals and loses her power base. Harry is useless dynastically at this point, so the evil puppetmaster (Lord Geidt) who runs the whole show would see it as a necessary sacrifice. Cutting off a rotting branch of the family tree, as it were.

You might get half a season of drama out of a royal custody battle, but eventually Meghan would have to be written out and go slinking back to LA in her widow's weeds, mocha-skinned ginger baby in tow.

OR SO WE THOUGHT!

Just when the Royals thought they were in the clear, Meghan comes slinking back on the arm of . . . wait for it . . . Princess Beatrice! Will these Sapphic Scorchers topple the House of Windsor once and for all? Tune in and see!

If Meghan and Harry want to be woke then be woke on their own money, not on taxpayers' contributions. Same goes for wanting to live in luxury in Africa while simultaneously reaping rewards of being faux humanitarians. It's more far more appropriate and likely the L.A. angle, go where the celebrities and wannabe celebrities are, and they can claim wanting to be closer to media work with Oprah.

Meghan is controlling in her personal life, so don't think this won't extend to parenting. That baby will be hoping for nanny sooner rather than later. Harry too, might start to see elements of Meghan's personality come to light, especially ones that he chose to ignore or didn't see as problematic. I've dealt with type-A, controlling parents and the losers are the children, they either become timid/ passive or they're high strung/ rebellious. When it's both parents who are like this, it's worse because the child thinks that's normal thinking/ behavior. When it's only one parent then the child has a fighting chance. It all depends on how Harry responds to Meghan's parenting style, if he's able to counteract that.

Rose story has died a quick death. No follow-ups since first stirrings of royal scandal, no gossips from sources close to both parties, so it makes one wonder if there was any legs to begin with. Disappointed if true why William would choose a chinless and average-looking woman who moves in same circle.

The kip of it.

Stay classy, Meghan!

R204, aren't all aristocratic lads a LITTLE bi? They learn how to suck/pull cock at their all-boys boarding schools.

Other than that, William seems boringly straight. Harry's the one who kept getting photographed hanging all over his male companions.

That fucking fedora again! It cracked me up that she took it to Wimbledon where one cannot wear a hat in the stands, but couldn't manage to find one to wear when requested by the Queen for their one engagement together.

R217, I concur!

Its gonna be a big splash in the pond when they drop baby Frog .

The anti Meghan troll here credits her with such power, as if she's Oliver Cromwell and could bring down the monarchy. She doesn't merit such fear and loathing.

Will someone please throw Oprah a Brontosaurus burger?

Her face has changed so much from her teen years, what plastic surgery did she get?

[quote]Disappointed if true why William would choose a chinless and average-looking woman who moves in same circle.

Did you forget this, r215?

Why can’t one be BOTH winsome and cunty? Why can’t Kate be both unexciting and the best thing for the monarchy?

Oh, dear.

Harry is straight. William... not so much.

I like the idea of Kate as a beard. Wills certainly did take a long time to marry her, unlike Harry who is visibly transfixed by Meghan.

Samantha Thomasina Olivia Josephine!

Oprah is awfully full of herself. Talking about how well her friend Gayle King handled herself during her interview of R. Kelly, she refers to herself as the gold-standard:

[quote] I sent her a text saying, 'Jesus looooves you.' But [the R. Kelly interview] could not have been better if I had done that myself. I think every interviewer thinks, 'What would you have done in that moment?' And what she did was absolute perfection.

That article at R228 is delightfully bitchy.

[quote] While there’s always a huge gulf that exists between the public’s perception of a Brit royal’s personality, and who they actually are in private, it’s long been whispered public misperception of the Duke of Cambridge is especially wide of the mark. In private it’s said Prince William, while not unlikable, is a haughty, spoiled, self centered, narcissistic, at times obnoxious and controlling, and politically right wing character who’s a classic metrosexual behind closed doors, meaning he’s a straight man whose mannerisms, even by British ruling class standards, often verge on the effeminate. It’s well known, and often repeated behind his back, that William’s nick name among his fellow students during his gap year in South America was Princess, owing to his dainty way of moving his hips when he danced. Furthermore, and in keeping with the House of Windsor tradition in which sons often imitate their fathers, it’s been deduced that the real reason why Will’s heir, Prince George, still occasionally camps it up in public is because he’s imitating a father who does the same thing in private, but the little boy’s too naive to realize a male royal’s supposed to butch things up when they’re before their public, particularly the press.

Is the anti Meghan troll racist? Why is he bashing Oprah as well?

R233, it isn't racist to post an article quoting something that Oprah actually said to the media.

Grow up, R333.

I suggest people block this twat so s/he’s talking at him/herself.

More interesting insights on the relationship between William and Harry:

[quote] Contrary to popular belief, this author’s been told by his sources there’s little merit to the rumor there’s any animosity harbored between TRH the Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex. While they’re not friends, they aren’t enemies either, and the reality is the two sisters-in-law barely know each other. The much told tale of Meghan reducing Kate to tears during a dress fitting for Princess Charlotte, who was among the wedding’s flower girls, was nowhere near as dramatic as the tabloids made it seem. While they did have a dispute, and Kate cried, both immediately apologized, and Kate blamed her over reaction on fluctuating hormones caused by the recent birth of Prince Louis. In retrospect, some now wonder if Will’s rumored ongoing attachment to Kate’s then friend, Lady Rocksavage, might not have been the real reason why she was so on edge that day. Similarly, the incident where Kate supposedly reprimanded Meghan for speaking rudely to a servant was also a storm in a tea cup that quickly blew over with no one’s feelings getting hurt. In general, all are agreed Meghan and Kate are more mature than their husbands, harbor no ill will against each other, and have merely been dragged into this quagmire by two royally dysfunctional brothers who never sought the family counseling they need.

Good idea, R235.

Okay, anyone who loves vintage Royal gossip has got to read this article at Royal Foibles about HM's uncle, the Duke of Gloucester (3rd son of George V and Queen Mary). The article revolves around his affair with adventuress Beryl Markham, and how her betrayal led to his marriage to Lady Alice Montagu-Scott. But it's this paragraph which really stands out:

[quote]At this juncture it seems only fair to the reader that the author provide a brief explanation regarding Prince Henry’s general mental state, for it was certainly an occasional topic of conversation among his friends and family throughout his life. Born in 1900, he grew up to become the most robust, but unfortunately also the dumbest of King George V’s surviving children. While Harry did have a baby brother, John, whose mental acuities were technically slower than his, poor John had the excuse of being born severely epileptic, a condition that would cut his life tragically short in his teens. Poor Harry, on the other hand, had no such excuse. He was just a shit for brains. As has always been the case in regards to the physically fit but terminally stupid, lower born scions of the British ruling class, it was decided in Prince Henry’s late teens he should join the army. By the late ’20s he was a captain serving in the 10th Royal Hussars who longed to command his own regiment, despite frequently having to take leaves of absence from the military to fulfill his royal duties.

I don't know who writes this blog, but I want to be their friend.

What or who is Royal Foibles?

Probably some more dreck cooked up by Sunshine Sachs and/or Sarah Latham, R239.

It sounds like fan fiction.

Hmmmm...I like the idea of playing “if this were a fictional soap.” I think the ending would be an over-the-top Diana parallel. Meghan has just won a sizable chunk in the divorce. She’s a social media queen. She’s on her way to a live tell-all interview. She settles into the plush leather interior of a Mercedes with a not-so-subtle smirk on her face. The final shot is of the car driving into a tunnel while the driver yells, “The brakes!!” Meghan reaches for the seatbelt only to discover it’s not there. Her eyes grow wide. Fade to black.

Royal Foibles blogs on historical royal gossip . He is well written.

Is he well-connected? Who are his sources?

R243, “well written” maybe...but not necessarily “well informed.”

R238 and r239, it’s a blog about vintage royal gossip that has a few entries about current fuckery. It’s not treacly drool praising anyone, so not PR.

I remember someone always ended up with amnesia on the soaps. What if one of the Fab Four had an accident and awoke with no memory of the past year or two?

Whoever he is, he’s a Meg & Harry fan. Bit stupid to claim that “Buckingham Palace courtiers” are out to get Meghan without explaining why.

[quote]She would have been 5 weeks pregnant at Eugenie's wedding...wearing a maternity coat...what a bitch.

LOL

[quote] Prince William, while not unlikable, is a haughty, spoiled, self centered, narcissistic, at times obnoxious and controlling....

It always amazes me that anyone expects any member of the BRF to be anything but a raging narcissist.

Being fawned over your whole life, having nobodies bow, scrape and call you “Sir”, earning ridiculously over the top praise for tickling babies or hugging someone in a wheelchair & having people scream your name wherever you go is not exactly going to promote humility.

Perhaps an intelligent member could reason their way through it & manage to be well balanced, but this lot are as thick as donkey spunk.

I’m still here.

One interesting comment on the RoyalFoibles piece is worth repeating.

The letter Wills sent to the papers re: the affair speculation talked about his “human rights being violated”. It said nothing about libel or slander.

The comment (from someone who says they’re a lawyer) rightly points out that libel/slander is about untruthful statements. So, William cannot being himself to say that the rumours are not true, even in an official complaint from his legal team.

Interesting.

...being = bring

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R253, The letter sent by William's lawyer reportedly said "in addition to being false and highly damaging..." and then went on to cite the Article 8 language. "False" = libel. The human rights was an add-on.

Another interesting comment on the RoyalFoibles:

You’ve done a cracking job outlining the nonsense and general colossal fuckup this entire situation has turned into. I had never heard of your blog until I saw it linked from a post on reddit, but you’ve definitely earned yourself a new reader! I’ve been binging through your back catalogue and it’s just fantastic.

I work at one of the publications you mentioned in your post, and this whole situation is SO FRUSTRATING. We’ve basically been gagged because poor little Willy can’t take gossip about his wandering willy.

[quote] Libel: a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation

R257, that’s interesting...

Damn. I really wished he was a good guy. People will seem forget Harry was a serial cheater on chelsy and possibly cressida. Because you know they'll go on and on about how Harry is the perfect husband and him and meghan are the perfect couple not will and Kate.

Interesting, perhaps, but legally incorrect R259.

Ain't gone yet, R193. Still cunt licking your winsome and fetching fetish? Bwahahahaha.... Some of us do have a life and real world dealings over spending their awake hours trying to convince DL how winsome and fetching is your tacky duchess.

But every so often I come back. I always come back. And yes, we know you admire Meghan. We read it every time you drone how "winsome" and "fetching" you can't help but find her. Rinse lather repeat. (You have likely posted this on every iteration of these threads. You're as predictable as Kate's wardrobe.)

That’s a bullshit blog comment, R257. Unfortunately, there’s a distinct possibility it was written by a paid Sarah Latham/Sunshine Sachs soldier (likely funded by British tax dollars).

Interesting how the blog writer is more intrigued with the possibility of a run of the mill RF affair than, say, the potential existence of a video featuring Our Lady of Sussex tossing someone’s salad....or any one of the hundred shady things thing associated with our plucky grifter gal!

Thanks, r62. I'm not posting anymore comments from **any** blogs from now on.

r257

^^^^Meant to say r263.

r257

The blog does seem to have something of a pro-Harry slant, but given that his/her contacts seem to be in the UK, it would be difficult for them to get much information about the existence or non-existence of a Meghan sex tape. We'd need a Toronto or LA blogger for that.

I read through a few of the Royal Foibles stories - both contemporary and historical. They’re littered with factual errors in addition to unsubstantiated gossip presented as fact. But, as noted upthread, reasonably well written. So they present better than the usual illiterate rankings that appear on Tumblr, in these threads and on CB.

In his bio he presents himself as a thirty something New Yorker living on the Upper East Side where he’s neighbours of Madonna. An insider...

I’m smelling another fantasist with way too much time on his hands - those articles go on forever.

^^^rantings

R256 Ok. Thank you. I only read the comment and not the actual letter.

Thanks for clarifying.

You know if Meghan really were a style icon (as Anna Wintour declaims), we'd see iterations of her style everywhere. I remember the Diana years, and teen girls all had huge pouffy prom dresses - influenced, of course, by that Victorian wannabe monstrosity of Diana's wedding dress. There was even a costume jewelry knock-off of Lady Di's engagement ring. What have we seen of Meghan's influence? Women aren't running out to purchase white fedoras. I'm not seeing women with bronzer slapped on their faces, their lips caked with gooey pastel lip gloss or dangling tendrils and messy buns. She's not starting any trends. Nor, of course, is Catherine, but Catherine doesn't want to be a style icon.

It really is wise of Kate to wear her uniform and stay mum and private about everything. Even Camiller seems to employ that formula.

R270, I see it all over Pinterest. Not inspired by Meghan, though. The other way around. It’s basic, very basic, lowest common denominator for UMC American girls who don’t want to look like Kardashians. She’s the “wholesome but still sexy” version of it.

Yeah Oprah, keep your fat arse out of it.

"Basic" is a very apt descriptor when it comes to La Markle's sense of style.

R273, Oprah has a habit of falling for grifters. Quite often. She’s backed away from the Scientos but I think they had her for a while. James Frey. Lindsay Lohan (no, she really thought she could fix Lohan).

Oprah is a smart woman in many ways, but she absolutely cannot spot a grifter. Gayle is playing along because that’s what she does, but I’m sure she sniffed out Markle a long time ago. She just dusts Oprah off and says “tsk tsk”.

R262 It’s fun watching you whip yourself into an odious, foul-mouthed froth over people you don’t know. Do keep going!

Contrary to your muddled understanding, I hate that Harry chose to wed a grasping showgirl. But only a dolt would insist she has no winning qualities.

Paul Burrell talked about Oprah visiting Diana - apparently she was very intense and initimidating.

I do like Oprah, but she’s making herself look very foolish with this whole “my dear friend Meghan” crap.

We all know she wouldn’t have looked twice at her if she hadn’t married Harry.

"Oprah thinks she's Jesus. When she gets a paper cut she holds her hands up and says "LOOK! STIGMATA!"

"No, Oprah"

"But....."

"NOOOO OPRAH....."

One of the accounts sussexroyal is following

R277, yep. There is so much I admire about Oprah. She’s quite a character.

But I take a perverse delight in her blind spot for grifters.

R279 eyeroll at the “little old me” schtick. Explains a few things.

The photos of Princess Charlotte released today are just lovely, and after looking earlier so much like the Queen at the same age and Carole Middleton, Charlotte is now starting to look like her father, especially when she smiles. The photos, of course, were taken by Kate.

And, thankfully, they were released in time to get ahead of the Sussexes suddenly making their baby announcement.

Twitter frau Nicole Cliffe, whose thread speculating about William’s infidelity got some attention, has left Twitter.

She got hacked. Suuuuuuuure.

R284 - Yes, she got hacked by a barrister delivering an invitation to the Old Bailey.

Just did a random check of the Troll Twins, torontopaper and skippyisheretostay. Torontopaper has apparently bailed, probably laughing her sides off somewhere as she left her eager followers hanging.

Skippy, however, is another case altogether, she is hanging on for pathetic life, assuring her followers begging for proof that that somewhere the axe really is being sharpened and is about to fall on Meghan's neck.

Hey Nicole, watcha up to, now?

R327 - oooohhhh, how delicious!

Damn that was meant for R287!

R288

How did DL ever acquire someone who actually appears to stalk some twitter poster.

R290 - It's called research, not stalking.

I like to get to the bottom of things. ....

Snark from The Star.

R293 - The custom was ended with the births of the current Queen and her sister in 1926 and 1930. Home Secretaries don't witness royal births any longer (and, in fact, didn't "witness" the actual births for some time before that, only stood around in the drawing room drinking claret and waiting for the doctor to come downstairs and report the birth), and certainly not of the offspring of anyone as far down the line of succession as Harry now is.

Like every other increasingly desperate media outlet, the SUN is just trying to put something - anything - out there to keep reminding readers that a royal birth really is supposed to be occurring . . . any . . . . time . . . now.

Yes I know, and The Star knows too, R294, so it's funny how snarky they are being. It's like a huge wind up. If Meghan is trying to build all this up, once Ginger Jesus comes, the people will just breath a sigh of relief it is over.

R287, she’s got a rich husband? Ha, I bet he bought her followers.

Hope this guy lives long enough to see it.

R297 - Obviously, the patriot pictured in 297 does not know that Meghan was arrested by MI6 two nights and is in custody.

R165 is a nutter from Royal Dish. This thread has been thoroughly invaded by those humorless fraus from flyover dishland.

Such a shame. Rather than tin hat comments and vulgar name calling, this thread should be one of the wittiest on DL.

Please go away Royal Dish fraus. We don't want you to police us. If we have a witty putdown of Kate, it is not your place to screech at us.

Oh Lordy, where's my frock????!!!!

It's twins R301 !

Could be twins, if he's had IVF. I'm so swayed with the weird bump. The bumpy bumps could be a maternity belt, she hasn't got the strongest abs, despite supposedly being a yoga fiend. She's always had a little pot belly going on. Now that would explain her excitement of breaking the internet ( she's obviously keen to do so), twins. But then the surrogacy theories ...well, it takes time to register that, in the UK, with the legalities. It's all very strange. But hey, she's loving the attention, I bet. Wish my Queen Anne would grass on her, tell us what's what.

She's not he's. Freudian slip?

Ouch.

Some basic racist frau is trying to police this thread, thinking she can scare everyone off by typing 'cunt' over and over again. If you don't bash Meghan and praise Kate, the frau attacks.

When Fraus attack could be a new reality show.

The year is 2030. The UK has just asked for another extension before leaving the EU. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have still not yet announced the birth of their first child...

[quote] Someone said it in one of the previous threads already, but it's worth repeating.

This could be the tagline for every post in this thread.

Can't wait until the resident cunt obsessed frau here starts in with the fake baby theories. She'll most likely identify a reborn doll which she thinks resembles the baby, or try to make out that its skin tone isn't right, or that it's too big to be a newborn. All drawn from the Cumberbitch/Larrie playbook.

Shut it R310 and take you whinging to the appropriate Cumber-whatthefuckever threads. JFC...

On to more pressing matters, Vanity Fair's new article:

When It Comes to Children’s Mental Health, Kate Middleton Is the “Most Important Woman in the World”

Its been hours, nothing new?

R306 triggered

R313, you've been triggered every few posts over three threads and will no doubt launch into another tirade telling people who don't like Kate to head off to Celebitchy, even though there are plenty of racist Meghan haters like you there too.

Just waiting for you to question the baby's identity. What will you go for?

Here's a thought. Ignore comments you don't like.

That basic bitch telling you to STFU: ignore her.

That Megastan sugar waxing poetic about the coming of the Sussex messiah: ignore her.

That tin hatter Meghan truther alerting the thread to the treason being perpetuated by Megalomanic and her surrogate in the brown dress: ignore her.

And as for this preachy bitch telling you to ignore all the haters, sugars, frauen and Larries: you can ignore my ass too.

The part in Kate's hair is getting wider and she needs to get her roots done.

Kate needs to get those eyes fixed too. She has more bags than Heathrow Luggage Reclaim.

'Most Important Woman in the World' when it comes to children's mental health? Let that sink it.

Given the cute birthday photos of baby Prince Louis, happy family faces on Easter, the Anzac Day appearance with Harry, her award of the Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order by Her Majesty, the Cambridge 8th wedding anniversary, this appearance today at the Kantor Centre of Excellence, the adorable hot off press birthday pics of Princess Charlotte, and now one of MEghan's go-to rags praising the Duchess of Cambridge as 'most important in the world?'

This gurl is on fire.

R318, seriously? Why are you worshipping amiddle class frau who has lived off the tax payer's money since she was 21?

The most important people in mental health are researchers with doctorates, not a spoilt rich woman.

And there's more...

R311 Surely Kate being named "most important woman in the world" will spontaneously break MM's waters. I thought VF was MM's go to publication for blowing wind up her arse too. Someone will be pulling her weave out and wrapping it around Sara Latham's throat.

R318: It's fine to be a fan of hers--but it's a Vanity Fair headline, not the Nobel Prize. Her support is a wonderful thing, but I'm pretty sure there are a few selfless reserachers/docs doing quite a bit behind the scenes. And they don't even have tiaras.

Kate's eyes are 60 years old with those bags and hoods. I wonder if she could get surgery to fix it? I guess not.

The Kate stan is ridiculous and surely cannot be a gay man?

How do we know Sunshine Sachs is doing PR for the Sussexes? Was this in a press release?

I kinda love that Kate stubbornly refuses to go the Hollywood route of getting her face Botoxed beyond moving. It's like she's saying, "Eye bags at 37? Bring it, bitches! Deepen the nano-labial folds while you're at it!"

R325 Saying "Sunchine Sachs" is similar to saying "George Soros" for the Trump Train. It's a dog-whistle. No evidence necessary.

Would just a touch of filler in Kate's upper lip lessen the maniacal look of her wide smiles?

Quivering, I am bent over the Carolean table in his study, its ancient spiral turned legs creek as my ample frame caresses the top. Lusty grunts, as I hear bespoke trousers hitting the floor. I am mounted by the royal man-steed. He thrusts his way into my mussy, with the precision of a well seasoned jockey leading his stallion to the front of the pack at Ascot. The rhythmic slapping of sack on sack, reminds me of the thundering hooves of gallant beasts sprinting, sprinting, we are a furlong to the wire. Its going to be a photo finish for mount and rider. As his royal seed has been implanted into his brood boi, he lets out a haunting moan. He won the race. I am lead back to my stable. Ridden hard, put away wet, as he is handed his winners trophy.

Thanks, r327, I thought as much.

If she has twins something is really fishy with her timeline.

This NIcole Cliffe Christian gal certainly is interesting. Apparently, she came out as bisexual in a May '18 tweet which cannot be seen because she deleted her account. I guess that's supposed to make her a more interesting and edgy Xtian?

Cliffe lives in Utah with her husband and three children.[3][5] An atheist since college, she converted to Christianity in 2015.[27] She identifies as bisexual.[28]

R331 Sunshine Sachs used to rep Meghan, but it isn't the bogey man responsible for every article or twitter campaign in favour of Meghan or against Kate.

She would be stupid not to at least invite her reps to the wedding. The Windsors has a history of divorce and so does she. Having good relations with the people she'll need to help her if this goes tits up seems like a reasonable plan. Kate has her family's wealth if her marriage founders. Meghan has no such safety net.

she looks so fake in R331 's picture.

You people banging on about Kate needing cosmetic surgery / botox / fillers - stop being so bloody American, just for a moment.

The higher orders in England don’t do that stuff. It’s chav. It’s Essex. It’s non U. A little Botox is about it for them. They are confident enough not to care and smart enough to know that it rarely looks better. Confidence is attractive. A head full of Restylane isn’t.

They are Royal. They are not celebrities. You frauen don’t understand that, no matter how much we tell you.

Ok, back to you all obsessing over Kate’s top lip.

Well, except for a certain 74 year old, R336. Though, I suppose it could be argued that she's as tacky as an Essex gal.

R336 here R337 and you’re so right! In the back of my mind while I was posting I was thinking that there had to be someone in the BRF who embraced injectables.

It’s Princess Mike!

Shame, really - she was amazing looking when younger and could have carried on with those wide set eyes and cheekbones and without all the cosmetic work.

For your perusal

[quote] Camilla has had her teeth capped and whitened,” a fashion designer told HELLO!. “It’s noticeable she now smiles a lot more”

R336. It's true that there was a time when toffs didn't care about cosmetic procedures, but that's changing; at least for dentistry. It's obvious that Kate gets her teeth whitened and rumour has it, she's done more.

And Kate’s gnashers look fine. I think that Kate’s fabulous, but she’s no toff.

If Kate wants to look younger, all she has to do is gain 10 pounds.

I think the key with the Royals is restraint. Kate's had a little done here and there, but it isn't glaringly obvious.

Harry needs to book an appointment with Kate's dentist tout suite.

Kate and Will teeth tattoos.

I myself wouldn't hold the Duchess of Cambridge up to the standard as "most important woman in the world" for children's mental health.

That Vanity Fair (with its history of pandering to MEghan) did use those very exact words is the hilarious irony.

Fuck Game of Thrones, this is my new favourite TV show and MM is a far better villain than Cersei

I wonder what Queen Mary would make of the modern incarnation of the BRF.

If Queen Mary were alive:

1. Charles would be married off to some royal relative.

2. Dreamboat Andy would have ended up with Diana

4. Anne's children would have titles, she would have insisted Mark Phillips accepted a title.

5. Edward would have got Fergie

6. Catherine, and Meghan would be writing conspiracy fan-ficton on Tumblr, and Twitter about William and Harry's unsuitable aristocrat sourced wives.

If Queen Mary were alive Anne would have married the Crown Prince of Norway or Sweden and be Queen by now. She’d have no truck with bestowing a mere Earldom on Mark Phillips.

I can't imagine Charles being allowed to divorce, if QM was still around.

Well, these birthday pictures of Charlotte are a bit underwhelming, aren’t they? They would be fine as a part of a larger set, but couldn’t Kate choose three birthday portraits better than these? The one with a pathetic looking daffodil is particularly bizarre. Not to mention the sad little ponytail, the shoes that don’t go with the dress at all, or the cardigan covered in bobbles. We get it, Kate, you are thrifty, but there is being thrifty and there is looking unkempt. Little Charlotte has so much personality and sass, she really deserves better.

Kate is very private. She keeps her pictures simple and reveals nothing, R354.

What does it have to do with the quality of pictures, R355?

R354, I was surprised by your commentary, so I looked up the three new birthday photos to examine them myself. In each one, Princess Charlotte looks like exactly what she is: an upper-class preschooler. Her ponytail is perfectly appropriate (what, precisely, is your objection? would you prefer that she wear extensions?). Her little navy-colored canvas shoes pair well with her casual blue cotton dress. She's wearing a plain button-down cardigan in heather grey. And when I see an image of a child holding a flower, the words "pathetic" and "bizarre" do not exactly spring to mind.

I conclude that you have wretched taste. But never fear! Give our Meghan a couple of years, and she will surely satisfy your desires for Instagram-ready toddlers à la North Kardashian West.

The picture comes out bland, R356.

These birthday pictures are a PR exercise, as official royal images have always been. The message is "Charlotte's just like you/your daughter/granddaughter wearing a pretty spring dress and playing in a park/woods/field"

In the age of Brexit and austerity, it's a useful message.

Don't think about the fact that Charlotte's skirt costs about £100 and she'll grow out of it in 6 months, or that she's playing in a field that part of her family's grand estate and she's surrounded by RPO so she's not like you/your daughter/granddaughter.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R351 Wins this thread. Lmao.

Correction: these clothes are all under £100 this time. Still pricey, but not triple digits.

[quote]This NIcole Cliffe Christian gal certainly is interesting. Apparently, she came out as bisexual in a May '18 tweet

All the ‘woke’ girls claim to be bisexual. (Translation: kissed college roommate once while drunk.) She’s a little old for that, she’s in her 30s and could pass for 40s, but anything for clicks, right?

However well-informed and astute the author of this blog may be about many things, he clearly has the wrong end of the stick re MM.

The author of that blog is neither well-informed nor astute. He just says that he is. Have a sniff around some of his other posts - the “my neighbor Madonna stared at me” post, for example. Reasonably well-written dreck.

And any writer who refers to himself in the third person is just a fucking wanker.

I don’t care about the price of the clothes, but surely Kate could find a sweater without pilling to dress her daughter for an “official” photoshoot. Children get messy all the time, but surely if you are choosing three pictures for posterity (out of hundreds), you can choose the ones where the child looks presentable.

Meghan, I suspect, will be more like Angelina Jolie in dressing her daughter (if she has a daughter). There is no way she will tolerate someone stealing the spotlight from her.

So Meghan Markle is folllowing a Yoga instructor who was at her very expensive baby shower. Is this the quid pro quo in action?

[quote]I don’t care about the price of the clothes, but surely Kate could find a sweater without pilling

You can't be a DL queen if you can't fathom that pilling is the point among this class of old money. Regardless of the price of the JUMPER an active child... Oh, why bother with the Laineys and Larries? (only learned recently what a "Larrie" is. I thought it was 10 Downing Street's mouser who recently like one of my tweets, but I digress)

Little Charlotte looks so much like William in this picture .

The aristocracy pretty much invented shabby chic. Their houses are pretty much frayed at the edges, as are their clothes. They have no need to impress anybody by being shiny and new. It’s the same reason why they aren’t all pulled, plumped up with fillers and with perfect white teeth (although the younger generations have better dentistry).

R368 I get what you’re saying.

Apparently Kate does have friends

As to Kate only doing teeth whitening, not true. An important French dentist did her veneers. She certainly uses Botox when not pregnant or nursing. She covers her greys. I think she should step up and use a little judicious filler in her n-l folds and definitely in her lips.

How old was she when the French dentist did her veneers?

Older but interesting article about Kate.

Why are Americans so obsessed with teeth?

Interesting sequence of photos from the Caribbean wedding of Harry's friend that she allegedly crashed. It was discussed on a Dangling Tendrils thread, but I've never seen this many pap shots. Part of sequence includes Meghan berating a black server. Cringey beyond belief.

^The preview doesn't work, but the link does go t the sequence of photos of the Caribbean wedding.

R365 here and I take it back about “Royal Foibles” being well-written.

I made it through the first two lengthy paragraphs of the article linked in R374 then had to stop. Too many grammatical and spelling errors from some twit who presents himself as some well-connected patrician.

As for the excessive use of referring to himself as “one” - pass me the sick bag.

That royalfoibles is very keen to trash William and Kate but never Harry ? The one with the most scandals and his trashy wife Meghan . Not a word of these two . Very odd indeed .

R376 Of course she didn’t fucking crash it. This is an example of invented Tumblr shit that’s somehow made it into accepted fact. Sticking “allegedly” in front doesn’t mitigate anything.

It’s bullshit so take it (and yourself) back where it belongs.

Oh, goodness, R380. I'm so sorry someone took a dump in your morning Bloody Mary.

Me and where I belong? Why right here on DL where I've been posting since the before the days of Sumerian farmwives.

R376 maybe she did crash it maybe she didn't, how the fuck would you or anyone else know unless you were at the wedding. I smell a MM Stan who can't control themselves. Back to Stan twitter land and instagram for you!

[quote] photos from the Caribbean wedding of Harry's friend that she allegedly crashed... Part of sequence includes Meghan berating a black server.

R376 Who "alleges" that she crashed it? Based on what evidence?

How do you know she is berating the server and not just ordering something? Did the server run off in tears, throw down his tray in protest, or clap back at her with a "not today honey!" Did he sell his story to TMZ and use a super whiny Valley girl voice for Meghan in his retelling of the incident?

Details, details.

I see MM's PR team is out in force.

R349, ah, now I see the William resemblance. I think Charlotte is adorable, though she is making that teeth-baring grimace that some parents think is acceptable as a “smile”.

As soon as my niece and nephews see a camera, they reflexively make that fake “smile”. I tell them I’d rather see their regular face. It makes me sad. They’re like little trained monkeys.

Body language says it all: bitchy.

God - Even Ginge is Cringeing so hard at Cringe/Wallis II in that picture that he's staring hard down at the ground looking as if he desperately wants it to swallow him up. She's nothing short of awful.

She couldn't get into the hotel that Harry and his party were staying at, I think that tells us a lot.

What are you doing here, stalker? Feck orrff.

Alternatively she could be describing how she would like her Bloody Mary:

“With just one twist of the pepper grinder”.

"I asked for NO salt in the margarita...I'm going to set the building on fire."

These photos remind me of the ones at Wimbledon or wherever, when she was asked to show her pass. Scowly face because she knows she doesn’t belong.

R388 Based on what evidence?

Let me guess? Some random on Tumblr?

Larrie? Define, please.

She was invited to the Inskip wedding?

Whoa, the sequence of photos from the Caribbean wedding of Harry's friend shows a real beeyatch!

The Tumblr loons love to look at photos and concoct totally delusional scenarios. The Caribbean photos are a prime example. I don’t see jack shit in any of the photos—they’re candid shots in which anything could be happening. I didn’t see one photo that couldn’t be from any wedding anywhere. But if you point that out, they’ll accuse you of being a stan and politely (not) ask you to leave. They don’t like their hysteria being pointed out.

DL is a place for witty conversation that lampoons EVERYONE, not just your little pet project of the moment.

No 393, it was reported that they were at separate hotels at the time. I'm not a Tumblr Head, they astonish me on that site , no grasp of of reality, and really believing they have sources that contact them in their little retirement communities to share gossip.

Waiting for the "Burn the Witch" and "STFU, you cunty cunt" comments directed at R397.

Sorry, I mean R393

^ meant to add: Kate is fair game on DL, and there’s plenty to make fun of. Pointing that out doesn’t make us Meghan stans, it’s why we’re on DL. It’s the British Royal Family thread, not the I Hate Meghan Markle thread, or the Kate Rules thread. Everyone is fair game. But stop making up shit that doesn’t need to be made up. There’s enough real stuff out there for all of us.

R396, I will never in a million years understand the fascination some straight men have with bitches.

If I was with someone who embarrassed me in front of friends by treating a waiter like shit, he’d be out on his ass.

R391 - now that made me laugh! Not many laughs in all the idiocy of these threads.

I remember at the time there were a few newspapers (maybe DM?) who reported that MM wasn’t invited to the Inskip wedding.

Some fantasist here said that he was a guest at that wedding (yesterday, I think, somewhere upthread) - I’m sure that s/he can confirm.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Maybe Harry's friends made fun of her bitchiness at that wedding party, later on they were all banished from Harry's inner circle. Vindictive, isn't she?

Has anyone considered the end-game ramification of a surrogacy?

[quote] I remember at the time there were a few newspapers (maybe DM?) who reported that MM wasn’t invited to the Inskip wedding.

Receipts?

R406 so they wrote happy birthday comments to Louis and Charlotte but no happy anniversary comment... that serves to strengthen the Rose rumors, doesn’t it

R397 Thank you oh wise one for coming on here and telling us how DL works, how did we exist before you came on here, look at us just stumbling around criticising your saint Meghan when in fact we should have been snarking about boring Kate. I'm so relieved to have been set straight by yet another MM Stan who has just landed on here to defend their Queen under the guise of a long time DL user

Why couldn't she congratulate them on their anniversary? Kate on her Order? Eugenie on her new patronage? Why won't she even TRY ? She knows it sparks controversy. Why walk such a tightrope?

Why haven't they mentioned Sri Lanka yet?

Inskip was the one who reportedly knew MM in her yachting capacity and introduced her to Harry. Maybe Skippy's wife didn't want her there.

R411 Agree. This thread becomes more pleasant when R397 is blocked. R397 your posts are devoid of insight and wit and your bossy Frau speak, well it grates. Byeeee.

If MM could she'd skip the birthday congrats for the kids, but even she knows that would look petty as shit. It must grind her teeth that they out rank her - HER!!

I so envy those of you who have the ability to know everything there is to know simply by looking at a photo that captures a microsecond in time.

We can’t know what’s going on in the Caribbean photos.

But those pix of Meg at Wimbledon, in dark glasses, looking at Harry’s then-flame Cressida Bonas, are gold. No interpretation required.

Omid Scobie is still cottaging around Windsor today.

R410 no it just serves to strengthen that they are a pair of cunts. Whether he fucked Rose or not they are still married and it looks like they will continue to be. I don't understand all the outrage if he did screw Rose, do the MM cray fans think that this somehow disqualifies him from being King, are they that fucking stupid? Maybe they should get out their history books or how about looking at the next person who will be King, if anything it would be odd for a King not to have a bit on the side.

R419 I can't wait for Mr Freaky Eyebrows to be ghosted by MM because you know it will happen

Thank Godness Meg is a cold and distant woman/mum to be. The baby will be raised by nannies and family members who'll be much better influences. As long as she doesn't take it with her to LA after the divorce. We don't want the baby around the housewives of BH.

Scobie has a lot of secrets to tell . So I don’t think he will be ghosted very soon . Scobie is gay and so is Markus Anderson . .

Iciness and bitchiness still seep through those sunglasses!

r415 agreed. I've just started blocking the Megstans on here and the thread becomes suddenly fun again. No more Fraus wading in to angrily and pointedly waving their index finger with spinsterish condemnation for any of us who dare criticize their FrogHo is bliss.

There are more than a few pics/vids of Mrs. Markle floating around with That Look, the jaw grinding or the repetitive lip biting and blinking. More medication, Jeeves!

Like this one ( watch til the end)

We post whatever we want I guess, but this business of two teams of "stans" is so silly. I like to razz all the characters in this play. And also give credit where it's due - for instance, in R424's photo, Meghan's hair never looked better! Maybe this was an important day for her. Safe to say she did assiduously work her way into "circles," right up to a seat at Wimbledon near Harry's girlfriend. Impressive!

This is the part of the story that I love – the scheming, strategizing, posing, patience, and BALLS OF STEEL it took for a plucky gal like our Meg to land Diana's son –a Prince then touted as the most eligible hunk on the planet – and then marry into the British Fucking Royal Family! The mind boggles. That pic upthread of her waving in the white coat at the engagement announcement shows her in utter triumph. She's probably thinking of every better-known celebrity who ever snubbed her, every casting director who turned her down, all the other actresses who got the roles she wanted, anyone who doubted her. "Jealous, bitches? Top THIS!" I get kind of a vicarious thrill from it. I wish I could go back in time, be a fly on the wall, and observe exactly how she pulled this off.

Again, I'll quote Dominick Dunne: "I like climbers. They interest me." Also, if you've never read "Vanity Fair," the novel not the magazine, it's long but I highly recommend it. The wicked, hilarious heroine Becky Sharp has nothing but ambition, but lands a dim aristocrat and becomes very grand. There's even a Kate character, called Amelia.

R427 WHAT IS IT? It's particularly bad when the head is brought down and forward, emphasizing Markle's dowager's hump (and she's only 41yo too!).

The Aussies are getting angry.

I think she is going to end up being osteoporotic very soon, R429, or osteopenic, at least. Her legs have much less protective and supporting muscle than they did, years ago. Sadly people don't realise until, or if, they fracture.

Blechhhh. r428 is a that same frau who keeps posting the same "I'm no Megstan straight from Celebitchy, HONEST, I'm a totally gay man who just seems to think all gay men love grift! And so I'm here again to tell you I'm just another gay man enamoured of her gaytastic grift!!!" over and over and over.

Markle's eating disorder cannot be helping these tendencies R431. It just all looks painful.

I've seen similar vids to the Pelicano one of MM doing that odd gymnastic mouth gesture. Too many blow jobs or does she have dentures? Maybe it's the former, and she's given so many she just does the sucking motion subconsciously.

Thank you for the article R430 - these two are beginning to depress me - everything they do is controversialist and dragged down to a level of pettiness that I've never seen in the RF. What a pair of idiots they are.

Antony Armstrong Jones was a much more interesting character without even trying - and he had polio .

I’m becoming convinced that there is more than one surrogate just in case.

At least one of them has twins.

They have all calved.

Meeghan has to choose between a very black baby, a freaky looking otherkin ginger Afro baby, and a whitish baby. She can easily claim she had twins at this point, but it’s looking like at least one if not two babies came out a little half baked or nonideal. Maybe even one with Down syndrome.

She’s busy considering her future. These babies are her future brand and also income when she gets divorced.

So does she play the “I’m the ultimate advocate for disabled children” card or the “Multi-ethnic families are the way of the future! My twins couldn’t be any starker of a contrast in black and white; we are a fucking Michael Jackson video come to life!”

It’s all about building a brand she can live with which will provide her the high amounts of attention and future post-divorce income that she craves.

I'm sorry I'll no longer be on the planet when the Duchess of Frogmore's baby writes its Mommy Dearest tell-all. That's going to be some juicy smack.

The " Meghan Markle has categorically not given birth" sentence, supposedly from an insider and in a few press articles today, can read two ways, can't it? I feel sorry for this child, or indeed children. This shroud of mystery is not going to bode well for its future, and I'm not even going to touch on the topic of how I think that this pair of idiots will conduct their parenting. Because despite having nannies and staff, parenting comes first and foremost. Well, to all decent human beings, anyway.

Before I block you, here's an article that may be of some help, R432.

Seen a rumour that the stork delivered 3 weeks ago and they're going to try and pass off a much older baby as a new born. I will forever hate Hazza for turning the boring BRF into the best soap opera on tv.

I don't have a dog in this race. I neither hate nor love Meghan Markle and the rest of the fam. I do, however, like a good mystery - a puzzle to figure out, and I've got one in this case. As others have stated well before me, I must concur with the inconsistency regarding the birth which is great cause for pause. No question! The Duchess is an absolute attention seeking, fame addicted, paparazzi loving media opportunist of the highest order - refer to the video from the Investiture commemoration reception. I'm not necessarily alluding to that being a bad thing, but I'm stating it as simple fact. This chick and spot a camera lens pointed at her from 100 yards away!

Now, with the impending birth of her new baby which will offer the extraordinary occasion for media exposure just as the wedding itself - and she declines to take advantage of it. Here and now, she plays coy insisting that she wishes the birth to be a private affair. "Don't call us - we'll call you." It simply doesn't add up. There has to be a good reason for it, and one which they do not want known. Whether it be because of a surrogate, a multi-million dollar reveal in a magazine, or a simple case of vanity - the great cloud of mystery I must deem to be entirely self-serving in SOME capacity.

The Loose Women panel are pissed off, too.

Interesting twitter convo between journalists.

At this rate Babyfrog will be Dumbo who will be dumped in the frogpond .😂

The Queen gave some audiences yesterday.

Charlotte does resemble William.

R428 I used to read Dunne too and looked forward to his articles for VF, I was only a teenager then but his writing about the wealthy/ financial malfeasance fascinated me. However I disagree that Dunne’s protagonists (or antagonists depending on angle) have whole lot in common with Meghan or that she fits in his prototype of a climber.

For starters there’s the difference that she married into a family living on public largesse. Second, MM has shown a distinct level of psychopathy and personal misbehavior that are glaringly obvious to all but the most sycophantic or obtuse followers of BRF. Third, unlike most of Dunne’s subjects who scheme privately, MM does her scheming openly due to her need for fame and recognition for being someone quite dissimilar than what she’d shown herself to be in real life. Those are just some noticeable differences between MM snd Dunne’s subjects.

Dunne’s subjects are almost always ruthless with an innate cunning, but there seemed to be an element of humanity, however small or twisted, beneath the portrayal. With MM we get insincerity, we see what she wishes the public to think of the persona she aspires to be for purposes of fame/ adulation. So it’s no mere climbing we’re talking about here, it’s straight up pathological.

R443, do you know it wouldn't surprise me, as she said she wanted to keep working up until her birth. When was the last official engagement? Commonwealth Day? That was 11th March. But there was the pap shots / walk outside the Ila shop in Kensington a week or 2 weeks later? Maybe the babymoon in Hampshire ( at the luxury hotel) was the birth weekend. I like Valentine Low.

R447, have you read Dunne's "The Two Mrs. Grenvilles"? Lots of parallels.

If it's true that the baby was born weeks ago, then it's a definitive slap to the British taxpayers who funded the wedding. I suppose Meghan needs the few extra weeks to diet, straighten the hair, get botox to slim jawline, and let pregnancy skin settle down. All in time for the blessed photo shoot in a very controlled environment.

Valentine Low is joking.

[quote]I'm sorry I'll no longer be on the planet when the Duchess of Frogmore's baby writes its Mommy Dearest tell-all.

At this rate, you may no longer be here when she finally whelps. I’m not sure I will, either.

I am going to be irrationally annoyed if, after all this waiting, they give the baby a dull name like James or Alice.

MM has admirable self-control but it's not perfect and sometimes the mask slips and she looks humiliated. Also in her published letter to her father, she wrote how hurt she had felt by his behaviour. So she is vulnerable to public opinion. I am thinking she is afraid to appear in public and show her newborn until she can exert a lot of control over how they both look, so as to avoid potential ridicule and sneers.

R440 - I believe the baby was born three weeks ago too (surrogate or c-section) simply because I think we've forgotten that the MOST central, MOST important player in this game is...Meg's makeup artist who arrived weeks ago in the U.K. and who is due back in NYC soon. There is NO way any photograph of her and the baby would be taken without him. He's here, the baby is here. Our girl is so incredibly controlling, vain and fame whorish that yes, she would lie and fudge dates and float rumours but she would never ever risk having HER face not perfect for THOSE million dollar pictures. Period.

[quote] If it's true that the baby was born weeks ago, then it's a definitive slap to the British taxpayers who funded the wedding.

I'm new here.

How is that a taxpayer issue? Do British tax laws require the BRF to inform the public immediately of any changes to their household composition? Do they get 14 days within which to update their file? What's the penalty for failure to comply?

R449 Yes I did read The Two Mrs. Grenvilles, such a juicy read, though I do admit I was perhaps 13-14 when I read it. I didn't have the typical teenage taste back then, instead of grunge music I was more interested in Broadway musicals LOL. Anyways there are some similarities shared by all climbers but glaringly missing the elements that I'd described in Meghan's case. Good read though, I was too young back then to know the history of the real characters it was based upon, so did further reading to supplement my understanding. Maybe it's time for me to revisit that novel again, it's been so long since I'd read it. I also loved An Inconvenient Woman as well. Really miss those mini-series they did on books, a few of them were quite good.

Valentine Low's response to Rebecca English is a tickle.

Some of you bitches would say the same thing, but for different reasons.

R457 The Two Mrs Grenvilles is such a bon-bon, isn't it? And I maintain that Ann Grenville is Meghan to a T!

R441 - You're overthinking this. There is no mystery - Meghan is simply using disappearing to make a bigger deal of this than she would have by doing the simple, straightforward thing: going into hospital, spending five mintues waving to the crowds and paps, and driving home. She's incapable of doing the straightforward thing, it doesn't give her enough jizz. Look at all the stories the desperate media is posting about this ridiculously unimportant birth to the sixth in line.

This is only about two things, 1) not wanting to compete with how great Kate looked 8 hours after giving birth, and 2) stirring the media pot - look at all the stories swirling around - is it here? is it not? why is Harry scheduled for an official engagement out of the UK next week?

The only mystery here is why the BRF let in this tiresome mediawhore who can turn absolutely anything into a huge deal about Her.

Here's my take. First, Meghan and Harry want to break an Instagram record with the announcement. They don't care if the media carp about it. Second, Meghan doesn't want any photos of herself in late pregnancy floating around the Internet. She's vain. I'm betting the Instagram photos won't show her much of her post-pregnancy figure either, unless she snaps back quickly. Lastly, as to the timeline, she announced the pregnancy early so it would be public during their Australia tour. And, of course, the open coat at Eugenie's wedding to fuel public speculation.

I do wonder if Harry is having misgivings about the strategy of keeping the public in the dark. As has been pointed out by so many, it certainly isn't in accordance with the traditional give and take between the BRF and the people.

At R461, "show much of her"

She doesn’t have to show much of her body if she doesn’t want to do so, and the longer she waits, the more critique she is inviting. People would be more forgiving if the picture was taken soon after the birth. Something like this:

On another topic, British people, can you answer this for me please?

In the video on a previous thread, (number 43, I think) we saw Theresa May curtsying to the Queen. It actually looked more like a bow. Can anyone elaborate?

Also, can someone clarify: one may not touch the Queen, but if she extends her hand, you shake it?

Sorry if I sound thick.......

R463, that is the lovely Brigitte Bardot with her only child, Nicolas Charrier!

It's so dumb to not want to look "fat" in post-pregnancy photos.

Look at Salma Hayek! She porked out during her pregnancy; the important thing is to lose the weight!

If she really wants to be anti-Kate and more "down-to-earth-woke" about the baby, then she'd go to the hospital for the birth, and after the birth, she'd walk out of the hospital without make-up, her hair in a ponytail, and wearing a comfortable track suit and sneakers. Then moms all around the world would nod their heads and identify with her. But she wants to be above the masses, and project perfection, I guess.

R456 - Yes, the PM curtsied to the Queen; it's a routine tradition. May's curtsies are particularly awkward looking, but yes, she curtsied, she always does. You should see the ritual for the new PM accepting the Sovereign's request to form a new government. Involves a bow, a kiss on the hand (for men as well as women) and backing out of the room - only when reaching the door does the new PM turn around. See "Darkest Hour" and "The Queen" where the ritual is carried out by Winston Churchill and Tony Blair upon beocming PM.

It will be interesting to see what happens if Corbyn gets into 10 Downing Street as the Tories collapse and is in the position of having to bow to the Queen, given that he is a staunch anti-monarchist.

Perhaps, out of frustration, the infamous BP courtiers released the news of Harry's trip to Amsterdam to convey that the baby will arrive by then.

R465 - A bit unfair using the truly astonishing looking Bardot as a model!

She looks like hell, now. Those overripe sex goddesses tend not to age well.

It doesn't sound thick at all R464. Theresa May just has the most socially awkward curtsy, ever, it makes me cringe for her. I've seen Fergie doing similar, but I think she might have been a bit tipsy, lol. But Theresa....wow, it's on another level. The Queen will extend her hand for a shake, and yes, one should take it :-)

R464 - I forgot to answer your second question. Yes, it is a no-no to touch the Queen unless she has held out her hand to you, in which case of course you take it. Margaret Trudeau, who had to greet the Queen a couple of times when First Lady of Canada, described in a memoir that she was surprised at the Queen's grip. Trudeau apparently almost toppled over during her first curtsy, but the Queen, accustomed to coming to the rescue at such times, tightened her grip from the elbow down, and kept Trudeau from falling over. Trudeau said she realised they must be trained from childhood to do this.

I think most people have lost their intrest by now . For me they can stick it back either in Meghans vagina or the surrogate one .Its the people who pay for them and they just play with it . Their on the royal payroll so yes they have no right to want privacy .

So Markle is worried about how she will look -- fair point, good luck with that.

R473 - I agree. At this point, in typical Markle fashion, it's overreach and by the time the announcement is made people will be yawning. The media, of course, will make a huge noise about it, as they want the clicks, but . . .

Curtsy protocol: right foot behind the left, dip on the left knee, straight back, head tilted slightly forward. For men, a dip of the head from the shoulders.

Thank you all for the royal protocol information!

I am quite interested in it.

I remember seeing on the tv, after Diana's death, one of her sisters curtsied to Prince Charles, and then leaned in to kiss him.

In all fairness, many women struggle with body image, especially during and after pregnancy. It must be even more concerning for an actress who traded on her looks and image to get where she is.

....

R476, does the woman hold her skirt out? I seem to remember that from my childhood!

R479, I do remember that photo! I think it was taken in Washington, DC!

And Queen Elizabeth would never embarrass her "hugger" by looking horrified; she smiles!

R472, loved the Margaret Trudeau story!

The BRF threads may as well be renamed Meghan and Harry hatred threads. Because that’s what they always turn into.

When the Queen knows someone well they kiss her cheek before they curtsey, all in one smooth move.

Worth remembering that not everyone bows/curtseys. It’s entirely voluntary and not considered bad manners if you don’t.

R479 and and R481, I remember seeing that on the local Washington DC news. IIRC, the queen was touring low-income homes, and this lady came up and gave her a big hug. Before the hug, the lady was loudly fangirling over the queen.

R481 It’s a bit of a tight, rictus smile to be honest. Although, probably due to surprise more than anything. People tend not to hug her like that. Nice when it does happen, though.

And for M and H selling their baby pictures that’s a huge no no . Members of the royal family don’t give photo ops to a magazine .

MM wishes Princess Charlotte Hbirthday but omits title. Not a big deal if she did not insist on using hers so it ends up a passive aggressive dig.

Her PR moves continue to distract me from the disaster of US government

R481, exactly. The primary goal of social grace is to put others at ease. It would be ungracious to make someone feel bad for making a faux pas, especially a person of a lesser status. That is the true sign of grace and class. The Queen is equally at ease with a parking attendant and the King of Sweden. Noblesse oblige and all that.

[quote] Curtsy protocol: right foot behind the left, dip on the left knee, straight back, head tilted slightly forward. For men, a dip of the head from the shoulders.

There's no protocol for which foot is forward. Diana and Maggie Thatcher preferred left foot forward. Princess Anne and Kate prefer right foot forward. HM did right foot forward when she was a princess.

R450 - There is actually but no one, least of all the Queen, really cares which foot anyone uses, and like a great deal else in the last 30 years, much emphasis on protocol has lightened. Nor does the Queen get wigged out if some pleb hugs her.

These are, as the man in Pirates of the Caribbean said, "More like guidelines."

R490, ah, thanks for the photo!

So, no holding out of the skirt!

I guess that is a "reverence" in ballet!

Nice to see the Queen Mum, R490, Princess Margaret too!

I guess Elizabeth gets her long-lived genes from her mum!

Thanks to this thread I find myself practicing curtsies. I prefer left foot forward. You?

While looking for demure curtsey images I stumbled upon some Kate snatch.

Hmm, R494. are you left-handed?

I feel like dominant foot forward feels the best.

It's actually quite interesting, you can be right-handed, but left eye dominant! Or left ear dominant. Or left foot dominant. You get the idea, I'm sure. lol.

R495, oh yeah, I forgot that Kate got Diana's engagement ring!

Remember lots of us thought that ring was not appropriate for a daughter-in-law? In a similar way that Diana is not appropriate as a first name for a granddaughter!

Princess Charlotte is adorable. But I wonder if she would be prettier with bangs!

Oh no, now I'm at it! I'm right handed but it feels more natural for me to have left foot forward.

The curtsy is not always done with a straight back.

R498, I hope that they don't "blow-dry" Charlotte's hair too much to keep it from being unruly. That would be damaging.

R500, ah yes, in that kiss it is very much like a bow!

*In that *CASE it is very much like a bow!

It makes me so sad to think, as someone pointed out earlier, that Meghan, just about to have her first child, has already outlived Diana.

I think Charlotte looked fine on those pictures.

Since Kate is the photographer, it expect that she frequently takes personal photos of her children. Rather than a specific "shoot" for the officially released ones, she may simply choose the ones she likes from those made over the last months.

Kate's pictures always reflect her love of the outdoors, and how she grew up, playing outdoors.

I saw that R488. How insecure do you have to be to repeatedly disrespect a 4 year old blood princess? And unfollow all royal accounts?

Diana would adore feisty Charlotte. I think Diana would make a nightmarish mother-in-law (always wanting to be the centre of attention) but a lovely granny.

Not here yet!

'I've just started blocking the Megstans on here and now I'm talking to myself.'

Fixed that for you, Tumblr frau.

By the way, Larrie on DL is a term for conspiracy theorists who bang on about fake pregnancies so that actually makes YOU a Larrie with your 'is she padding/what are the ramifications/endgame of a surrogacy' posts.

Agree that Charlotte (love the way the Kate troll calls her 'Princess Charlotte') looks scruffy and not particularly royal. Kate really does rate herself as a photographer, against all evidence to the contrary, and refuses to call in a professional. She lit the shots so badly that Charl's eyes look brown. No excuse for such sloppiness from incompetent Katy.

It’s so hard for me to imagine that attention-seeker MM wouldn’t want to stand triumphantly in front of a cheering crowd with her Royal Bairn.

It’s out of character, in my opinion.

She could still do that, and get plenty of additional press.

I agree, r511. It makes me wonder if the baby was born some time ago (read: she was pregnant when they married) and now they’re hiding out until baby’s age is harder to determine.

At the other extreme, she could have announced way early, but doing so makes her announcement near Euges wedding even more vulgar (which I would not have thought possible.) and, why lie about the 12-week scan?

[quote]Larrie on DL is a term for conspiracy theorists who bang on about fake pregnancies

You ain’t from around these parts, are ya?

R512, makes you wonder. I think she’s given birth and is trying to build suspense and mystery.

Kate broke with royal protocol by taking her own shoddy pictures of Charl, so why shouldn't MM post on IG instead of stand outside the Lindo for pap pics which don't even show the baby's face?

The Kate Troll should be pleased that there is going to be a clear pic of Harry's child, as the Kate Troll will now be able to dissect the baby's appearance, Larrie style.

Kate Troll Bingo:

The baby looks too big to be a newborn

The baby looks too white/brown to be Harry/Meg's child

The baby can't be real because it's on Instagram

The baby can't be real because it was born at Frogmore Cottage, underneath the Heathrow Flight Path

Any others?

R500. That's a lovely curtsey, almost ballet-like. Mette-Marit?

Heh, in R424's photo I see the very picture of steely focus and determination. What Meghan wants, Meghan gets!

William filled in for the Queen at an investiture. This video shows one of the men who rescued those schoolchildren in a cave in Thailand.

The baby can't be Hazzas as he's a Jaffa.

R513, and obviously, they bang on about Harry/Louis being the Romeo and Juliet of the 21st century. But yes, they scream that the girl Louis knocked up was faking a pregnancy and that the kid is a child actor. Just like our resident Kate troll.

I think Princess Charlotte is getting better looking as she ages. I didn't find her to be a cute baby but now I think she's improved.

The late Diana, Princess of Wales at the Braemar Games in Scotland.

I’m completely over the baby at this point.

I was very interested about a month ago, but now I think they’re jerking everyone around (1) because they can and (2) to squeeze out extra attention.

Most people quickly lose interest when people start playing these kinds of games. It’s so trashy and immature, who would want to be a part of it.

I’m still interested in the false timeline question— when people lie so obviously and needlessly, it’s baffling.

Charlotte isn't sweet faced or cute. She has a heavy face and looks bad tempered, with deep set eyes.

Loved Diana in any kind of tartan or traditional dress. Her face was out of another, more romantic era.

Someone has spotted a private ambulance with police escort at Windsor.

More Kate Troll Bingo

The timeline doesn't add up

Everyone has lost interest in the baby now

Check out my blog, Skippy is Here to Stay

R522, just a beautiful young woman.

I fear that she might have undergone a rhinoplasty as a youngster, had she been born 20 years later....

Were are Charles and Camilla? Their absence is very odd.

Charlotte vs. Will.

R521, Charlotte not a cute baby?

What is your definition of cute!!??

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Here are photos of Charlotte with William, the Queen and Diana. Who does she look like the most?

Okay, BRF fans, please identify the context of this remark,

"Easier than falling off a chair..."

R527, please explain how you concluded that anyone who from nds Markle annoying = a “Kate troll.”

Because those are some short-bus level logic skills you have.

R531 - When Charlotte was a baby, my friend (who doesn't follow royalty) asked if she had Down's Syndrome. I kid you not. She just looked odd as a baby but she's grown into her face.

R533, Charlotte has a fair amount of Kate in her.

Charlotte has a formidable presence, like her great grandmother. I like this child.

R523, that coy shit isn’t cute. Like my cousin who posts those attention-seeking posts on FB. “I’m so DONE with this. If you’re my friend, try acting like one” “that was the last damn straw” “trying to come to terms with the latest. Thanks for caring but I’m not ready to talk about it yet.”

Kate had a similar face shape to the Queen before she became so skinny. So yes, William "married" his grandmother. Charlotte looks like her mum, therefore she also looks like Her Majesty.

R536, that’s how I thought of Louis. Sorry, I don’t think he’s cute at all. But the elder two are adorable.

R534 Camilla, on loving Charles. What do I win?

R526 - Interesting. Buckingham Palace says that the baby hasn't been born yet but maybe Meghan has just gone into labor.

Louis is beautiful!

R543, you win a $10.00 gift card to Dunkin Donuts!

Or you would, if this were FB!

Is there a way for us to get in touch? lol

R543, I trust that your answer was from memory, not from Google?

QEII

While waiting for the Sussex Sprog, I can't resist posting these over-the-top nursery decor shots. Good God, people do try very hard, don't they? Which color scheme will Ginge and Cringe choose? We've heard grey. Grey in a place that is cloudy and rains a lot. It's just depressing and all wrong.

I’m the one who answered the trivia question, and yes it was from memory. Because it was memorable. The tampon tapes. I thought it was rather endearing. Not to Diana, of course, but still sweet.

The Duchess of Cambridge with cheeks:

I picture the nursery looking like her Toronto house.

That giraffe in the nursery is nightmare fuel.

R550, cheeks and her natural hair color!

Don't mean to be snide, she still is a lovely looking woman!

R552, no question about it!

The demented Kate Troll is now trying to say willowy Kate with her dark hair, deep set green eyes and tiny nose looks like Elizabeth II, who is short and plump with a long, aquiline nose and large blue eyes.

That stuffed giraffe makes me want to throw up.

I still stand by my first impression of Charlotte NOT being a cute baby. She's looking a lot better now.

R557, she is adorable and so alert!

R553, am I the only one that can see the resemblance between a young Kate and a young Queen Elizabeth II.

R555, I just joined this discussion, but if you have to label me a troll, I'd rather be known as the Charles and Di troll.

Bravo, R549.

It was very sweet. Showed Camilla's tender side.

Her eyes were lighter and not so deep set as a baby. I don't like her unflattering, swept back hair. A fringe or middle parting would suit her heavy face better.

The time of the children's party on the Cambride tour of Canada is when my friend thought that Charlotte was a little "off".

Love the picture of Charlotte with the flower. She looks like she’s wielding a sword. Our little warrior princess!

^ Cambridge

Shame that Kate's eye bags seem to be a dominant gene. Was Pippa's baby fug too?

Meghan has no problem announcing to the world that she's pregnant, and maximizing the amount of publicity (at the expense of Eugenie) doing it. However when it comes to the baby's birth, it's shutdown mode. Odd behavior yes, but done with intention of again, maximizing publicity for herself and the Sussex brand. Fame whoring at the most egregious seeing as how she's on public view as member of BRF, so she must know the optics against the backdrop of taxpayer-funded wedding and uncertainty with Brexit that ties into financial uncertainty of many citizens.

R561 - how about this hairstyle for Charlotte? LOL.

Blocking the Meghan-stans who keep slagging Kate for, e.g., not being a professional photographer and instead releasing photos that (gasp!) are like regular parents' photos of regular kids does somewhat normalise the air hereabouts.

Meghan is deliberately calling Kate's kids by their Christian names with no title because she's pissed off that her own kids aren't being given the coverted HRH. It's just a petty, "If mine can't be, I'm not acknowledging yours as such - even though we all know they are and will outrank me and my kids till Domesday." I can just see Kate and William grinning knowingly (and perhaps the Queen and Charles) and thinking, "Just wait a couple of decades, bitch!").

R568, you supposedly already blocked me a few threads ago, Kate Troll.

Meghan has done everything by the book so far, but she didn't want to stand on the steps of the Lindo Wing, and nor did Sophie, Prince Edward's wife. Why should she? Her child won't be heir. She's more comfortable with a home birth.

Is someone who accuses a poster of being a Kate Troll a Meghan Troll?

This bitch can't do anything right, can she? If she's so social media savvy as she think she is, why does she keep fucking up? She must be seriously deluded.

R568 It's all those sad sacks have, first slagging Kate for not having a career, then slagging her for taking photos of her sprogs and not being professional-photographer level at it. They're really reaching at this point, and notice they'll never directly come back at posts that list the litany of MM's transgressions.

There are many things to rag on about when it comes to Kate, mostly about appearance, not aging well (eye bags, premature wrinkles) and aging eye makeup for example, but they're not pathological as is the case with MM.

Good question, R570.

People who feel the need to announce that they've blocked someone sound like people who announce that they're going to pee.

Nobody else needs to know and nobody cares.

R574, esp if they didn't block in the first place because they like to act as if they're Muriel.

Kate Troll - please answer. Why was it okay for Prince Edward and Sophie to have their kid at Frimley Park, the NHS hospital which Meghan may go to?

Piippa is fug IMO, she has a nice, athletic figure that Kate also has, but Pippa's face is unfortunate and she's aging at a more rapid pace than Kate. Meghan too seems to have aged 3-4 years this past year alone, likely due to not being able to have as many cosmetic treatments and procedures being a member of BRF. I think she'll continue jawline botox and other areas of her face too. As for Kate needing fillers, her lips are so thin that just half a syringe of restylane or other types of fillers would be too much for her, and very conspicuous. Better to leave her lips alone at this point.

What Meghan wants she gets?

No access to Royal Collection jewels No HRH at birth for the crotch droppings No grand London apartment, no resplendent country estate No invite to the family Easter celebrations

Her proverbial "game" leaves a lot to be desired.

I could concede the blow-up doll-looking duchess being somewhat in the vein of a Becky Sharp/Mrs. Grenville IF she played her machinations with some (really any) note of cleverness. But it looks as if she played her entire hand duping the village idiot of the family into marrying her. Since then all she showcases is a raging thirst for attention that borders beyond pathetic while garnering nothing but derision from a public she yearns so desperately to adore her. People are openly mocking her. This will only get worse as her novelty wears thin.

Right now for all her empty lip service, all she has proved to be on the world stage is nothing more than a gimmick. She alone squandered her potential.

Maybe Charlotte has old man cheeks like her grandfather. If so, she could simply outgrow them.

That is PRINCESS Charlotte to you, bitch.

Let's hope Baby Windsor has Diana's lovely blue eyes, unlike the Wales sprogs.

None of the other royals called fugtastic Charlotte 'Princess' either. They all know how ridiculous that sounds within a casual setting.

yes, I agree, the way your date treats the wait staff is very telling. It's one of the warning signs. It's no wonder so many assistants quit. She's a nightmare. Poor Harry! But I don't feel sorry for him, he fucking deserves it!

Charlotte’s cheeks bear a resemblance to all 4 of these people. That makes her an upper class Brit. They all look the same, anyway.

Harry is a ginger, the baby will be white. If the baby is cute, they will be very popular. if the baby grows to be ugly...then not so much

I've posted thread No# 46 but please use this one until it reaches 600. Thanks.

Charlotte's hair looks cute the way it is, I don't think the Sybbie Branson from Downton Abbey haircut would suit her.

R576 - I don't think Pippa is ugly. She's attractive (in her own way). However, her husband is most unfortunate.

R580 is too stupid to be believed. The "Wales" sprogs would be William and Harry--and William eyes couldn't be more Diana's much to Harry's chagrin.

And as for the Baby Windsor reference, exactly whom is that? Or did you mean Baby Sussex? (More drivel from the crazy MEghan fraus bent on defending their salad tossing mistress. Baby Windsor indeed!)

Why are you insisting that Brits hate MM, Kate Troll? She's popular here, especially amongst multicultural Londoners.

How many bloody times does Hello mag have to have a cover about a baby that hasn't been born yet? I think this may be the fourth or fifth time.

Buckingham Palace will confirm when Meghan is in labor.

[quote]Harry is a ginger, the baby will be white. If the baby is cute, they will be very popular. if the baby grows to be ugly...then not so much.

Hard to predict these things.

How would you know R589? You never get out. One need only look at the sheer number of posts you type to defend MM's honor. You have no other life. Obsessed much? How sad for you.

This thread is full of one obsessive calling another obsessive obsessive.

Neither Harry nor Meghan look good in this wedding day photo.

But the Charles-Diana Troll isn't nearly as annoying as the others!

This is for the Charles and Diana Troll. Diana looked good just back from her holiday. She was tanned and seemed happy.

Another photo of the Balmoral honeymoon shoot.

Poor Lady Sarah. She looked like a meringue too.

Time to sign off and post on the next thread.

[QUOTE] R526 Someone has spotted a private ambulance with police escort at Windsor.

In the UK a 'Private Ambulance' usually refers to a vehicle used by an Undertaker (Funeral Home) for the removal of a body.

I hope there were a few good stretches between Diana and Charles. It makes me sad to think it was all a disaster.
