British Royal Family Gossip Part 87

She'll have another child. My guess is the marriage cracks up somewhere closer to the seven to ten year mark. Diana and Charles, from marriage to divorce, managed fifteen years. They had different pressures to stick it out. Andrew and Fergie, probably a better comparison (both idiots, both clueless, both self absorbed, and to some degree both in love with each other), lasted from 1986 before separating in 1992 and divorcing in 1996.

Then again, as others pointed out, she's rapidly cruising forty... time's a wastin'. She may settle for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor model and just live with him in the relative financial comfort of prideful, brittle, annually increasing contempt.

The Harkles probably don't have any fairly recent photos--or any photos at all of them with George. The wedding photo is probably not the best photo for the kid's birthday, but it's the best they have. Plus, George may get a kick out of the photo since he can have fun remembering that he was part of their wedding. Kids may like that sort of thing--and it's not any deeper than that. I'm no fan of the FrogCott duo, but the photo they posted is likely all they have.

If Will and Kate have a little birthday party for George, it would be nice if H&M attended, if they're invited.

If Meghan is still around in 10 years, she'll be around forever. She'll be pushing 50 at that point, and her options as an actress/lifestyle guru would be limited. If she's going to jump, even if she plans to take Harry with her, she has to do it soonish.

To top it all off, they didn't even say his name. They just posted "Happy Birthday". If we didn't know who was celebrating, it could have been for Harry, Meghan, George or the other boy in the photo.

by Anonymousreply 36July 22, 2019 9:56 PM

R25. Yes, that's the only photo the Harkle's have of them with George. You have to remember that the Harkles and Will and Kate barely see each other--they're not all that friendly--so of course, they're not going to have photos of each others' kids readily available. The reason Markle could post a single photo of Louis on his birthday taken by Kate is because Louis is only one year old. He has no idea what's going on, so a single shot of him alone is fine. However, with George, he's at an age where it's kind of fun for a kid to see himself in a photo with other people, in this case, his aunt and uncle. And the wedding photo is all the Harkles have even though the focus of that particular photo is really on Harkle duo and not on George. But at this age, George doesn't realize family dynamics and that he's really not the focus of the photo--he just knows that he's in the photo. He just sees a photo of himself smiling with his aunt and uncle--and for a six-year old having a birthday, that's probably good enough for him. And I'm sure Will and Kate are well aware that the Harkles have no photos of the Cambridge kids since neither family sees each other all that often.

One thing...the Harkles could have named Prince George in their birthday wish rather than simply this generic wish, but that's them. They also could have signed the Instagram with "Love from Harry and Meghan." But again, that's them.

by Anonymousreply 37July 22, 2019 10:15 PM

R37, they didn't post a picture, that's from a stan site. They did post a generic greeting on KP's Instagram, though. Making sure they (she) was the first to post. But no picture.

So you think it matters to her that she didn't post a photo of George or call him by name on the birthday wish? Not really. It's the furthest thing from her mind. However, I'm a bit surprised that Harry didn't think to name George in the birthday wish and sign his and his wife's name. I mean, Harry has known George since he was born--it's his brother's kid for god's sake. Harry could have made sure the greeting was a little warmer and more personal even if it seems to be lost or ignored by his wife.

Bea’s wedding may have to be in Westminster Abbey. Her younger, less social sister, Eugenie, filled St George’s to capacity, with over two hundred more guests than at the wedding of the Sussex’s only a few months earlier. With her connections in London, New York, LA plus the euro crowd, it could be 1,000 plus guests.

And here we have the Queen Catherine troll. Replikate probably won't even be called Queen Catherine and if MM wasn't okay with curtseying, she would never have married Harry in the first place. The enmity between those two women is far less than you like to fantasise about. Meghan isn't jealous of a little yacht girl who worked at Jigsaw for about five minutes.

Prince Charles CAN'T make Archie Duke of Suffolk as long as Ginger is alive (unless the title reverts to the Crown for whatever reason). The best Archie will get is HRH The Earl of Dumbarton, unless they style the sprog with one of the suspended or in dispute titles or just make one up especially for him. But as R91 posted, styling the sprog anything other than Master Archie goes against the public utterances of Megs and Ginger at least AT PRESENT.

On holiday at Balmoral, the Queen requests that discs made of her favourite TV programmes are made. In the past, these have include The Bill, Keeping Up Appearances, Midsomer Murders, New Tricks, Last Of The Summer Wine and the complete Doctor Who.

The list of programmes is not the only tradition in place at Balmoral.

Queen Victoria started the tradition of having a bagpiper play under the monarch’s window at 9am for 15 minutes every single morning.

Meanwhile, the current Queen began a tradition of inspecting the sandwiches given to guards according to another castle insider.

And don't start the shit of "this was a breach of privacy".

The future Queen of England should not be topless (and of course braying) anywhere, private or public. It is unseemly. Has any other future Queen sat around with her tits hanging out?

R194 Get lost, you annoying cunt.

Markle got her stiff looking tits with enormous nipples out on a PUBLIC beach and FILMED HERSELF. All so she could promote herself on her shitty, shallow blog. And you want to criticise Kate for being photographed by a stranger while she was sunbathing with her husband IN PRIVATE.

Markle twiddled with her tits, licked her lips and virtually fingered herself trying to look sexy for a men’s magazine...and you hate Kate for modelling for students at university and showing underwear?

Kate WORKED on a yacht for a summer... cooking, cleaning and serving drinks. People do that, you know...they get jobs that don’t involve faking blow jobs, stripping to their underwear to wash floors and adopting cum faces while simulating being fucked against filing cabinets.

And, let’s face it...if Markle ever worked on a yacht it would have been flat on her back with her grubby, over-used clunge being offered to whoever was paying enough.

You are desperate and pathetic. Go away.

And will the ignorant twat who keeps calling everyone a troll also piss off. It’s funny that it can’t afford the $2 for an actual account, but I supposed McDonalds doesn’t pay all that much, right?

While I think having three kids is more than enough, I'd like Kate and William to have another child. I don't think they'd pick a rather 'modern' name like Susan (mentioned somewhere in this thread). They'd be going for 'regal' names, as is tradition with heirs, heir's children respectively. As far as I know, they would've loved to call George Alexander, but, alas, Alexander wasn't deemed regal enough for a child that is likely to be king one day, so they went for George instead but sticked to Alexander as a middle name.

If they had another child and if that child were a girl, I suspect names like Alice, Alexandra, Victoria, Margaret, Mary to be chosen - names with a certain tradition within the BRF, that is.

r310. I meant to add that Charlie boy sees himself as a bit of a god, so maybe he likes the idea of the martyr King Charles . Forget the hedonist one. but oops that may be more like him.

Yup, R311, the public have known him as Charles for more than seventy years now. Starting to go by George (or any of his other middle names) would just seem weird. Actually, I think people will just continue to refer to him as Prince Charles out of habit for a while. It'll be odd to adjust to him being King, his face appearing on currency, stamps, etc.

by Anonymousreply 313July 25, 2019 9:56 PM

R310 of course choosing a regnal name differing from the one he's has been known his entire life would be downright odd. But that's what might happen. We're talking about royalty and dynastical stuff after all, and picking a regnal name different from the one you initially got isn't that extraordinary.

Funny anecdote: Upon her father's death, Her Majesty was asked what regnal name she was thinking of using, to which she sort of indignantly replied she'd still be known as Elizabeth.

I saw the play of Charles III and DL-ers should prepare for the fact that William and Kate (she in particular) are basically cast as the Macbeths, for no reason founded in reality but only because it works for the plot. The play ruminates over some interesting political ideas, though.

The most prescient show of all time about the BRF was Evita. First staged a few years before anyone ever heard of Lady Diana, the funeral that opens it is pretty much an exact replica of hers (and Che's commentary very probably an echo of the Queen's thoughts at the time). It's spooky. Rainbow High and High Flying Adored are pretty prescient of her too, though I accept they equally apply to Eva (and that High Flying Adored probably also applies equally to Rice and Lloyd Webber themselves).

[quote] although I accept they equally apply to Eva

Er...it was written about Eva, who had almost nothing in common with Diana except that they were both blond (although Eva dyed her hair), died young & produced hysteria when they died.

The entire thrust of Evita is watching a woman scramble & sleep her way to the top, manipulate a man who was in thrall to her & then find the view from the top isn’t very pretty.

Rainbow High is about a concerted PR drive to win hearts and minds by glamming up. High Flying Adored is about the dangers of wanting fame and then achieving it.

I’ll grant you that the opening funeral scenes & attendant hysteria is reminiscent of Diana’s death - but that’s more about mass hysteria of crowds rather than the woman herself.

Other than that, Evita is not even faintly prescient with regards to Diana.. As quite a few of us have remarked before, it’s far more applicable to Markle.

Yes, the "Evita" funeral and "High Flying Adored" applies to Diana, but the rest is Meghan Markle to a tee. "Evita" fans will appreciate the resonance of so many lyrics:

"I'm amazed, for I'm only an actress......It seems crazy but you must believe....there's nothing calculated, nothing planned....I'd be surprisingly good for you."

"I came from the people....they need to adore me....so Christian Dior me!"

"The actress hasn't learned the lines they'd like to hear...."

"There you are, I told you so....makes no difference where we go.....the whole world over, just the same.....you should have heard them call our name! And who would underestimate the actress now?"

"But Señora Peron, it's an easy mistake....I'm still called an admiral, yet I gave up the sea long ago...."

R308, it’s not that she’s so fat, but she’s cramming herself into clothing that’s too small. She’s lucky that her face, arms and lower legs remain thin (her swollen face was temporary), so she only has to worry about fitting her midsection. A sleeveless shift dress should be her best friend.

I went to Holyrood Palace today and they had Meghan's wedding outfit on display (plus a replica of Harry's suit). The embroidery of Meghan's veil looks gorgeous up close, as does Queen Mary's tiara. The dress itself, though, somehow looks even plainer in person than it does in photos. I still can't understand why, of all the dresses she could have worn, she picked that one.

They also had George's page boy suit and Charlotte's bridesmaid dress. I hadn't noticed before but George's suit had "GC" embroidered on the shoulders in gold (presumably for "George of Cambridge"). If you're going to be in Edinburgh and you fancy seeing them, they're on display until October. There's audio commentary from Harry and Meghan as well.

Funny how Meghan couldn’t find any empowering females to profile who didn’t have any associations with entertainment/ fashion industry or “activist” IG influencers who pose more frequently in designer outfits or swimwear than documenting hands-on activism. How hard is it to find women who work tirelessly for worthy initiatives or organizations and who aren’t constantly promoting themselves on IG? Not very difficult at all unless you’re a famewhoring duchess who’s seeking solace in/ hide amongst similar-minded women.

R104 that isn’t the way things work when a Queen is the monarch in her own right. There are two kinds of Queen - Regnant and Consort. The word ‘Queen’ has in its origin, a very old word for ‘wife’. Thus a Queen was always inferior to a King, and many monarchies, including the Japanese, do not allow for a Queen Regnant. When Victoria became Queen of England, she was not entitled to be ‘Queen’ of Hanover as well, because of the Salic Law which disallowed a woman to hold the title ‘King of Hanover’ - a title which the previous Hanover Kings of England had held. I’m not sure what will happen with the new Act which allows for absolute primogeniture over male preference, but it would be more in keeping if future consorts were just Prince or Princess. The only Prince Consort in British history was Albert, and Philip of Spain, the husband of Mary 1 was declared King of Naples by his father, so that he could be known as ‘King Philip’.
