Thanks for keeping this going, OP!

Meanwhile, we can start off with a CDAN BI:

"The youngest sibling in the main group of the house of royals has been having an affair for years with a television host. They are both married."

Almost universal guess is that It could only be Prince Edward and Philip Schofield., and that the Sussexes sent this in to spite the Wessexes, especially Sophie, clearly being brought forward to replace the Sussexes.

I doubt it's a coincidence that this got sent in a week or so after Sophie's interview in the Telegraph in which she mocked Oprah.

I doubt the royals' press people track CDAN, and in the great scheme of things, it won't matter, anyway. The Sussexes are done for in the RF and will never get back in now.

I honestly think Oprah was persuaded by Harkle or persuaded herself that Harry and his wife were as popular as Diana and the public would be on their side and seem them as victims of a terrible injustice and mistreated. They are stuck in the 1990s. In truth if Dianas situation had been 20 years later in this day and age I don't think she'd have been as popular or garnered as much sympathy from the public. She was of her time. The world has changed and the Diana dynamic cannot be recreated.

These streaming services aren’t in the business of giving away free money and publicity for no return. Even if they wangled some forbearance on their contract because of Covid, it’s bullshit. They produced an Oprah doc, a book, an upcoming book and are hiring personnel for their Archewell thing. They’re producing content elsewhere.

That’s gotta sting. And whichever exec at Spotify made that deal is not going to have their own contract renewed. BAD CALL.

Will the idiot tinhat youtuber at R48 stop trying to direct people to their channel? Meghan could have landed a rich but unknown guy in his 60s when she was in Suits. She chose a younger guy who has good looks instead. She has two children, a foundation, Netflix and Spotify deals because of her marriage. Both would drop her if she dumped Harry for some grey man, weeks after Lili was born.

by Anonymousreply 49June 18, 2021 8:18 PM

The paperback version of Robert Lacey's book "Battle of the Brothers" is coming out next week and The Times has an excerpt from the additional chapters which goes in to the bullying allegations against Meghan.

Couple interesting walkaways:

H&M's defenders have often used the defense that it was Meghan's American work ethic that ruffled feathers at Kensington Palace, however, American Jason Knauf (who came into the Palace with plans to modernize the work practices there) deemed Meghan to be completely out of line an a nightmare to deal with. The Sussex side of KP was such a toxic mess (including allegations of Harry screaming at employees) that Knauf went to William with what was a called a "dossier of pain" in which virtually the entire Sussex staff outlined the treatment they'd received from H&M. This was the breaking point in William's relationship with Harry not jealousy over the Australia tour, in fact, William was no longer on speaking terms with either H or M before the Australia trip. Kanuf was told that Meghan "governed by fear" that she would berate staff, text and call them constantly and fume if they did not respond to them immediately. Allegedly she would also call multiple staff into her office and then single out one of them and chew them out in front of the others.

Even before the marriage, William allegedly believed that Meghan was fundamentally hostile to the whole system and did not want to remain in the firm. Kate also expressed misgivings about Meghan's seeming need to play the victim. It was William and Catherine who insisted their offices be separated from Meghan & Harry's and William brought over most of H&M's staff to his office or to their foundation including Kanuf whom William and Catherine adore.

There were rumors of big changes behind the scenes, lol, BIG, BIG, BIG changes when they did a 180 on covering for her to letting the chips fall.

The Oz press is VICIOUS towards them, I suspect THOSE stories were true as well.

Where will the Narkles go after this? The Queen has tremendous credibility and the respect of world leaders, we all literally just SAW that. He hounded his grandfather into the hospital with the call about Oprah (next day!) and bullied the family relentlessly until his death "muzzle" etc. He even turned the funeral into a spectacle and photo op, while his first wife merched a wreath from afar DURING the procession. All the things WE all know, now EVERYONE will know.

And Catherine launched the early childhood foundation today, something REAL, of SUBSTANCE and which will benefit the people of the UK, not her ego or pocketbook. Compare and contrast with the letter to the pet rescue. No wonder Scoobie Doo was foaming at the mouth, may be the last time, lol.

Sooooo, over under on Harry showing his face in the UK July 1?

It is not even definite that they LIVE in the Montecito house, so what is the real end game here?

This kind of negative exposure, how does a narc rebrand after this?

Harry best blame her influence and get himself to rehab and fall on the mercy of his father. Maybe he can still go to the remote estate Charles had been preparing for him for years. I believe he is NO BETTER but we may all pretend. Or the very ugly stories about him may be shared with the class.

I have to say I love that this happened the day of Catherine's new foundation launch. Plus, only she could be unspotted by rain and with perfect hair in the downpour.

Remember a few days ago Lady C claimed that William did not want Meghan or Harry at the Jubilee regardless of how the public might receive that. She claimed that William and Catherine are far less concerned than other senior royals about the royals being open about the division with the Sussexes. Now we know why. William is done with them. William is clearly verrrrry astute and I think the monarchy is in good hands with him. I also think the Sussexes are a little afraid of him because once William start wielding more influence (which will happen after the Queen dies) he is going to give zero fucks about them.

More than hinted...

When told people needed to be treated well and with some understanding, even when they were not performing to their standards, Meghan is alleged to have replied: "It's not my job to coddle people" – a statement that appears to heavily contradict the Sussexes' "compassion and kindness" agenda.

It is significant that such claims have surfaced not only out of concern for the accuracy of the couple's narrative but also amid suggestions that the palace could have handled the matter better. Sources reportedly expressed concern that nothing was done at the time to investigate the situation, and nothing had been done since to protect staff against the possibility of bullying by a member of the Royal Family.

One is quoted as saying: "The institution just protected Meghan constantly. All the men in grey suits who she hates have a lot to answer for, because they did absolutely nothing to protect people."

The signs that something was very amiss at Kensington Palace were plain to see after Harry and Meghan married at Windsor Castle in May 2018. The atmosphere became so testy that the Cambridges chose to accelerate the proposed split between the two households.

by Anonymousreply 91June 19, 2021 5:55 AM

While William does come out of this good, the bigger question is why did BP not do anything to deal with Meghan's behaviour. It appears a ton of staff left and complained but they were buried under the rug.

Meghan's supporters will claim this is another smear campaign. The only way this will stick for them is if people go on record and stuff from before she met Harry starts coming out.

But I mean it doesn't take much of a brain to realize that Meghan is no longer in contact with virtually anyone from her past: not her family, none of her friends, her exs, most of her co-stars, now her in-laws.......sometimes it isn't everyone else that is the problem.

by Anonymousreply 92June 19, 2021 6:02 AM

I think this is why the palace used an exterior law firm to investigate r92. There clearly have been huge failures by the palace as employers and they have failed to protect staff.

The enquiry will hopefully lead to a more robust anti bullying policy and protections against royals abusing their status in the work place. It seems that the current HR set up is toothless and needs an overhaul. Then again if they are spending their time dealing with health requests from mental duchesses.....

Obama didn’t enter Harvard as an affirmative action admission, r97.

by Anonymousreply 100June 19, 2021 12:38 PM

My question is, did Lacey choose this time to release this particular bit of his clearly "updated" book on the brothers because he got wind of the outcome of the bullying investigation? He's updating, is my guess, because he knows 1) that the book released last fall (and that didn't do well) went far too easy on the Harkles and made it seem like William, only two years older, should have acted as some sort of in loco parentis for Harry, and 2) the Harkles are going to look terrible once the report is leaked.

The words "sociopath" and "narcissist" are even mentioned in the piece relating staff experiences of Meghan, and it also makes clear that after he learned about the treatment of staff, William demanded the split of the households - basically booting the Sussexes out of Kensington Palace and up to Windsor.

So the Scobie story is another attempt to use an already dog-eared race card to paint Meghan as the victim, the Palace as the oppressor, and get in front of the bullying story (I think it was rather late to trample on Kate's news story yesterday).

I doubt the tactic will do anything but expose how desperate the Sussexes are at this point, willing to do anything to blunt what they see as an axe heading toward their necks.

Not least because in the current environment, plausible charges of mistreatment of the plebs can get one cancelled in the entertainment business. The Sussexes know that. So they're playing the only card they can, and they hope injecting new life into it by using the phrase "future Head of State" and "shouldn't the public know?".

It's a really desperate throw of the dice, which both of them probably know will put the last nail in the coffin of their relationship with the BRF.

It's unhelpful on the home front, as well, because they're branding themselves as dangerous to work with to people that the Sussexes want to work with, and also to be paid handsomely by.

To me, the Scobie story looks like a Hail Mary Pass of epic proportions. One way or another, they will pay heavily for it.

Only Meghan Markle could have screwed up the chance of a lifetime so early in the game.

The conflicting stories are put out deliberately by their PR, it is a tactic they use for other clients too.

Charles is known to be a bit tight but he HAS been very financially generous with the Harkles, was very involved with the wedding, had prepared a country estate for Haz over a period of years, etc. That they wanted a share of the Duchy of Cornwall is astonishing and not even legally possible.

Actually, the revenues from the Duchy are Charles's to do with as he pleases, and since his sons have matured into adults with households of their own, he has given each one a supplemental income annually for those revenues.

He agreed to give Harry his last annual supplement for 2020, that was acknowledged as soon as the two left. So this news was just a public announcement of what everyone knew. Hence, the jokes about the Bank of Dad.

But that Harry thought the revenues of the Duchy should continue tobsuppory him after 2020, for two self-exiled nonworking and openly hostile family members choosing to buy hugely expensive homes in exclusive areas of a foreign country beggars imagination.

Charles stewards not owns the Duchy. The UK public may accept him helping to support children who are serving the monarchy and Britain. Bit st bottom those revenues are public funds. Charles makes a substantial contribution to the Treasury to offset the optics of this feudal setup.

But supporting the intensely disliked traitors who bailed because they didn't like the work and wanted to do their own thing in sunny California?

That expectation on the Sussex's part speaks of a detachment from reality that doesn't bode well for their children.

I'm surprised to hear Charles is still speaking to Harry. The boy is hopelessly mentally damaged. It's crucial for the rest of the family, especially the Cambridges and for the monarchy, that the Sussexes be permanently cauterised and kept far away.

Interesting comment, that of the Charles's representative about the Harkles' having succeeded in becoming financially independent. That suggests that they did receive very large advances from Netflix, Spotify, used the support of Charles to put a down payment on that absurd place in Montecito, or to pay the huge legal bills that accrued from Meghan's court case against the Mail on Sunday, and for which she never got the damages because the Mail on Sunday sought, and was granted, permission to appeal the judgement).

That they have finagled their way to not needing Charles' money is probably true. To what degree is not clear. I doubt it matters any longer, as long as no public monies are being funneled their way.

Charles must be staggering emotionally from the blows his son and daughter in law have inflicted in their vengeful fury at not being . . . William and Kate. I wonder what he's really thinking as this plays out. What about Charles' estate - is he going to leave funds to Harry and his kids? What about William and Kate? What about the titles? What about what looks like, if the truth about their lies don't stop them, the prospect of the Sussexes making this feud with the BRF the touchstone of everything they do for the foreseeable future? Can they be stopped? Can they be stopped and still maintain a relationship, or is it going to take an unfortunate scorched earth approach?

I agree that the likelihood of Charles stepping aside for William citing age and wanting peace of mind in his declining years is nearly zero, but I still think it should have at least been honestly discussed as an option. It would solve so many issues, the titles being one, the danger of Harry as Regent another, and it would make Harry and Meghan look like the bastards of all time.

I'd wager a month's pension it has been quietly if openly discussed amongst the courtiers.

Also if something happened to Charles and William before George became of age then Princess Anne or Prince Edward would most likely be the regent and under no circumstances would Harry be allowed.

Similarly River talking about legal documents being pored over to take away their titles if they keep attacking the royal family.

Seems highly likely most of this information has been relayed and privately shared with the relevant authorities in the USA.

They really are out of their depth and have bitten off more than they can chew but are too arrogant and dumb to realise it.

by Anonymousreply 264June 25, 2021 2:50 AM

I think there are backers behind them that we are unaware of. I suspect that is part of the reason they seem so fearless. The tens of millions of pounds spent on PR is likely evidence of such. Maybe more will come out in time.

The video talking about rumors, jokes etc. from US State Dept employees to upper levels of UK aristocracy wondering if she is a Trojan horse were unusually frank. This is more than a lighthearted soap opera. I believe this moving the convo forward will help provide cover for steps to be taken. Lady C directly said she is fed info as are others, of course they are, that is where the Anne story was first put out to the public. She has written several books on the BRF and Diana, her vids are widely watched and are used as an outlet for a narrative or detail to come forth. It happened again today.

I do believe that her goal is evidenced by "we are one plane crash away from the throne." Why else would someone say such a thing with witnesses, particularly about family?

Many felt quite uneasy watching all the Cambridges get into a helicopter to travel together to their country house. Hopefully that practice will change.

r265 Good post.But i also sense something has shifted on the US side of the Atlantic. Oprah and Gayle rumoured to be trying to distance themselves from Meghan? Is it just a silly personal spat and clash of egos or has someone in the know connected to the US authorities had a chat with Oprah and told her something sinister about Meghan that she was unaware of? Information that would be a gamechanger in Oprahs eyes?

I just sense there is stuff happening that is of a serious magnitude and changing the game as we speak. William was friends with the late owner of Leicester football club who died in a helicopter crash a few years ago.That really should awaken him to the risks.

The lawsuit could cost them quite a bit in legal fees. Wonder what "US projects" Megs intends to focus on? It has all seemed quite scattershot but I think that may just have been to "raise her profile." I think there is a more focused plan that we are not fully aware of.

I keep thinking back to the Vanity Fair Wild About Harry (a headline from his childhood, referring to his mother) cover story Markle did, without even officially being his girlfriend. I could well be that she had some help with strings that were pulled. Markus Anderson has clearly been involved but he has backers as well. It boxed him in and moved things forward quite a bit.

"The story is loosely based on the 1980 novel Headlong by Emlyn Williams.[3] Very little of the story survived the transition to the screen; characters were changed and the story made into a comedy. The film was a minor box office hit..."

R269 There has been some rumours going around Twitter that Markus and Scoobie Doo may have had a sexual relationship which is how he became the Sussexes unofficial mouthpiece.

I have come around to Lady C. I'll admit that for some time I thought she was just trying to milk a dollar off the whole Meghan & Harry sideshow (which yes, she is to a degree) but in the last few days virtually everything she printed in her 2020 book has been confirmed and then reconfirmed by Robert Lacey. One thing she did say in today's video thank peak my interest was that Meghan are more fearful of William than Charles. I suspect William would have no qualms about ripping them to shreds (with receipts) in a way that the Queen and William are unwilling to do.

Even without any kind of nefarious third-party support, the Harkles are clearly attempting to blackmail the royal family. Meghan wants her children to have Prince & Princess titles and will try and take down Charles if she has to. Though if she were to take down Charles, in my opinion it would put the whole institution at risk and she and her children would end up with zip because the whole family would stripped of their standing. But it's possible that Sunshine Sachs is under charging the Harkles because just having them as clients likely elevates the company's prestige. They can say, "look at what were doing with H&M. "

Regardless, the royals and British Government need to get out in front of this. They basically needs to say in as nice a way as possible, we know what you're doing and we won't be intimated. Best of luck and have a wonderful life.

This is being reported by TMZ and the Sun.

He actually put that down instead of Harry. It must be hard for him to accept his title means jack shit here.

Taking down Charles wouldn't do anything but put William one step closer to the throne. Charles is just possibly the only one left of Harry's blood family with any twinges of affection with a dash of guilt left for Harry. The Queen's days, realistically are numbered.

Charles stepping aside for William has been discussed ad nauseam, and mostly pooh-poohed. But a great many things that were once pooh-poohed, like the PoW and Heir getting a divorce, and Harry leaving the family and doing a tell-all with Oprah, and leave us not forget BREXIT.

The unthinkable seems to have an odd way of becoming thinkable lately. Hell, who the fuck saw the Abdication in 1936 coming when Edward was made Pribce of Wales and was the catch of Europe?

Charles stepping aside for some peace of mind (fuck, I could write the speech for him) would so screw the Harkles it isn't funny. They'd be blamed for breaking the heart of an old man who'd been generous to them, it would put paid to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet (good God, I think I got a toothache just typing Princess Lilibet), give the monarchy a badly needed more youthful reset with the immensely popular Cambridges, leave a natural Regent in place for George if something else unthinkable happens, and put the Strong Man of the family in a position to do whatever it takes to pull the Sussex thorn out of the Windsor side.

I mean, "taking Charles down" - exactly what does that mean, poster?

If he stepped aside peacefully and on his own, it would be a coup for the Cambridges that would totally fuck over the Sussexes.

William probably has privately retained investigators watching the Sussexes now, and is also quietly leaking every nasty bit of shit he knows about Meghan to people who can safely feed the stuff to people like Levin, Tominey, Palmer, Wootton, and to friends who can drop a word in the ear of Lady C and lately, River.

Charles will not step aside under any circumstance. He’s waited too long and his ego won’t allow him to do it.

When the Queen dies, there’s going to be a bit of behind the scenes chaos. Any of you who have elderly parents will understand. The parent wants to remain in control, but isn’t able. William will have to have that “take the car keys away” conversation. I think it will be during this period that Meghan will do most damage.

Also, Meghan may go scorched earth with a divorce. The Queen is a strong woman, but in her old age will she be able to hold up under a Gloria Vanderbilt type divorce and custody battle? Up to this point, Meghan has dropped subtle hints, but she knows she can make stuff up, throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks. “The Queen once patted me on the back and called me her little biracial friend just like Harry did to his friend. Where do you think he learned stuff like that? From his grandmother.”

Harry is completely self-important in the same Andrew is and Margaret was. In Margaret's defence, however, she never resented her sister (despite what The Crown shows in its fictional portrait of the royal family) . Andrew has always resented Charles because he felt he'd be a better King. Harry has always been jealous of William and has always felt he had to "out do him." Like Andrew, Harry's own self-importance will ultimately bring about his downfall.

The real "trauma" of Harry's life is not his mother's death (though yes of course that's a big issues), it was the 'indignity' of his being born second. He was over indulged by his family to compensate for his "lack of importance" in terms of the future of the monarchy.

I had the strangest dream about Meghan earlier this week and I have daydreamed about it subsequently while having a good chuckle to myself!😂 Basically at something somehow a secret microchip or small device created by the intelligence services found its way discreetly into a key position in Meghans intestines or bowel. It could be triggered remotely by the pressing of a special button to cause Meghan to have a sudden , large and abrupt emptying of her bowels. Basically it caused her to s**t herself and empty her bowels suddenly as if she'd taken a laxative. The button that could remotely open Meghans bowels was in the pressing of the royal family. So whenever it was felt to he an apt opportunity a member of the royal family would press the button and course maximum embarrassment. Meghan could go to an executive meeting or be trying to schmooze with wealthy business people or be giving a public speech or trying to get a billionaire into bed and the button could be pressed and a fast series of bowel movements and humiliation would follow. Normally when it was used the royal family would be at a get together and watch in delight at Meghans humiliation via a secret camera. The Queen, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Princess Alexandra, Prince Edward, Sophie, William, Kate, Camilla, Zara and hubby, Beatrice and hubby, Eugenie and hubby, The Gloucesters, The Duke of Kent, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent were all or mostly present. The most enthusiastic pressers of the button was Princess Anne, Prince William and Camilla, the biggest gigglers when Meghans embarrassment followed was the Queen, Kate and Princess Michael of Kent!!😁😁😂😂

I have no idea why I had this dream but it hasn't failed to amuse me since when I think about it!!!

The royal family used Meghans own sh*t against her to stop her from progressing socially and financially!!

Lacey's final "excerpt" from his book is as shoddy as the original version was. Quoting Harry's friends as saying that the Sussexes should be on the balcony at the Platinum Jubilee means those "friends" were very likely Harry's, not William's, and are ignoring the intense dislike Britons have for the Sussexes, the Jubilee being as much about the monarchy as the woman who led it for 70 years and therefore should not be showcasing people who not only refused to serve it but actively tried and are still trying to damage it.

Look back at the photos of the Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Mr Lacey, at who was was NOT on that balcony: the Queen's "favourite son" BEFORE his fall from grace, his kids, her other children . . . Only those relevant to the future of the monarchy and her husband. The Wales, the Cambridges. End of. Andrew was furious, but she didn't give in on that one, did she?

Having those two on the balcony is to be seen to pander to the two deranged villains of the peace just because her Mum is black.

As for Lacey's assertion that HM will never issue LPs depriving Harry's kids of the their HRHs - he may well be right on that one. It will be the last of many mistakes the Queen made, particularly where Charles is concerned.

Leaving that burden to him to start his reign with is to guarantee that he'll be too cowardly to do it, when it should be done, or he'll do it and start his reign off with another round of accusations from Harry & Co.

Her reign is closing, she's 95 fucking years old, her popularity can take the hit. Taking those HRHs NOW will rip the plaster off quickly and leave Charles free to start his reign with one less conflict, which is a major benefit to the monarchy itself.

What's more, if the Queen takes those HRHs, I would bet anything that the enraged Harry will finally be pushed to surrender his own, as it were, in "solidarity" with his commoner children, probably by filing for American citizenship, and that would put an end to another divisive issue.

Cut the bloody umbilical cord already. These two have shown themselves to be deranged sociopaths for whom enough is never enough. You pander and appease will be a far worse look for the monarchy than a family split. Britons don't care about Harry and Meghan or whether William and Harry have made up or not.

They do care about a monarchy that is capable of saying NO to a couple of mentally unstable lying vipers, rather than being seen to appease absolutely appalling behviour.

If Andrew doesn't get onto that balcony, neither does Harry.

R324 - Yes, I was surprised to see Lacey repeating that bullshit. They made a really bad impression on both their tours, they were booed in the Albert Hall one evening, and their polls started slipping compared to the Cambridges' really early in the game.

The truth is, Meghan Markle was the best thing ever to happen to Kate apart from marrying William. Meghan made Kate look like Princess Perfect. Her poll ratings have soared, especially during the pandemic, one of Britain's darkest hours, when the Harkles complained from sunny California and the Cambridges did their duty to the nation.

Lacey is a consultant on Netflix's "The Crown". You have to remember that. He was probably wary of making the Harkles look too bad, as he and they serve the same rich overlord. He redressed the balance somewhat from the original version of the book, but clearly felt he had to add in material that kept it from being a completely retold story.

And none of William's real friends would have talked to Lacey. They know William would have dropped them like, as the Cousins say, third-period French.

They were Harry's allies. Not one of William's real friends would have made that ridiculous statement about William swallowing his pride and standing on the BP balcony for the Platinum Jubilee.

The Sussexes aren't going to be on that balcony - the family would risk massive booing from the crowds below.

It isn't just William: it's Britain who doesn't want them.

Harry will be disowned, there was no other choice left to the royal family as soon as the connection to the producer with the rights to the "The BRF Killed Diana" movie became known. It has to be a pre-emptive strike too, because if they do anything after the Harkles throw down that card, they'll be seen as acting guiltily. It's all over. It's just a matter of time. The queen probably went to tell Harry he was being stripped of his titles upon his landing so as to give him some time to save face.

by Anonymousreply 330June 26, 2021 2:55 PM

R330 - I agree completely, but it remains to be seen if the Queen has the balls to do the necessary.

And, you know, she wasn't seen arriving at Frogmore, and remember, he's supposed to be quarantining for five days. Frogmore is half a mile from Windsor Castle and I think it unlikely that at 95 she was heading for a tete-a-tete with someone who was quarantining. The same thing happened when Harry came in for the funeral in April - she was "seen driving to Frogmore Cottage" when in fact she turned out to be driving toward Windsor Castle.

And unless she's prepared to issue those LPs herself re his kids' titles (which I wish she would if only to show what an poorly informed horse's arse Robert Lacey is), I wonder why she'd bring the matter up. To tell him that as soon as she's dead Charles is going to take them away from the kids who just got them?

If that's the BRF's plan, they deserve to be discredited. If the kids aren't getting HRHs,. the time to make that public is NOW, so Charles doesn't have to take the hit for disparaging his own son and grandchildren.

Ffs, how stupid can they get?!

In my opinion, Lacey has damaged his reputation. I think his first copy of the book was heavily one sided and I think he may have gambling that the Sussexes would end up more popular than they have, also given he works for Netflix and they work for Netflix, he wanted to keep in their good graces. But the tide of public opinion has shifted drastically in the UK and they are a sinking ship here.

As for the Jubilee. I think the compromise should be, they are invited to the Service of Thanksgiving but not allowed on the Balcony. The Balcony should be working royals only (the future of the monarchy). The Queen, Charles, Camilla, William, Catherine, the Cambridge Children, Anne, Edward and Sophie.

R324, I used to listen to the Vanity Fair In the Limelight podcast, which covered Meghan and Harry a lot. It was clear then that M&H were the bright, shiny, new thing that brought in a lot of people who previously hadn't been interested in the BRF. Meghan's acting "career", her being American and darker-skinned, the wedding, the new baby, and their Instagram put them in the spotlight, and they were quite the contrast to the old marrieds and to the rather dull (in celeb terms) Kate.

I've also read about both brothers being jealous of each other (even before Meghan), for example, when it came to the divvying up of patronages.

So it's not far-fetched to think that the Cambridges were jealous or that the Firm was worried about the Sussexes stealing the spotlight from the future King. Of course, it's all turned out differently and I'm sure, but for their loose-cannon shenanigans, the BRF is happy with that.

There is no compromising with malignant narcissists, it just doesn't work. They need to be grey rocked, cut off at the knees, not engaged with at all.

If they invite them to the jubilee but don't let them on the balcony she will just pull some revenge stunt while the others are on the balcony to divert attention to herself. She will co-host some live show with Gayle King giving play by play commentary on the jubilee activities. Or maybe one of the children will have a medical emergency, specifically Lilibet 2.0. Or she'll have a miscarriage: "I was chasing my first while holding my second and losing my third and no one asked if I was o.k.". I'm not joking, some form of this or something even more outlandish will come to pass if she is denied top billing.

The Queen needs to take one for the team and be the one to strip them of everything before she dies so that Charles doesn't have to.

From Lacey's 3rd excerpt. Meghan's need to wear Mohammed bin Salaam's blood diamonds despite the murder of Khassoggi and the kidnapping and torture of one of her UN activist acquaintances says all one needs to know about her craven hypocrisy and willingness to lie to avoid responsibility

____________

Meghan was described as an “Actor, Activist & Global Ambassador for World Vision”, alongside Loujain al-Hathloul and other delegates, whom Meghan praised for “speaking out against human rights violations, environmental crises, gender equality issues, discrimination and injustice. They are the change.”

So how was it possible for the soon-to-be Duchess of Sussex not to be aware that Loujain had been kidnapped in March 2018 by a Saudi hit squad just a week after the crown prince had had lunch with the Queen at Buckingham Palace? That was when MBS was said to have handed over the earrings ahead of the wedding two months later. The March 2018 kidnapping of Loujain al-Hathloul was widely reported. Loujain was famous for campaigning for Saudi women’s right to drive, which MBS had granted the previous year. Then he kidnapped the activist and detained her just the same for continuing her criticisms of his absolutism. It was inconceivable that Meghan did not know what had happened to her brave Saudi acquaintance, and in the months that followed disturbing reports emerged of Loujain being tortured in Saudi custody. “She showed them her thighs,” her sister Alia said of her parents’ visit to Loujain in prison. “And it was not only bruises; it was burns . . . She thought she was going to die.”

Meghan’s royal minders in Fiji were quite adamant they had made her aware of the embarrassing Saudi origin of the jewels. It is part of the job description of royal aides and private secretaries to keep their principals informed about “topical” events and connections, and these earrings were so novel and spectacular that journalists were bound to ask where they came from. Meghan’s answer that the jewels were “borrowed” was presumably designed to avoid admitting their awkward provenance – well, awkward for a professed human rights campaigner. When the story came out in March 2021 her legal apologists leapt forward to point out that the earrings were actually lodged as property in the name of the Queen, like all wedding gifts to members of the royal family. So the duchess had been technically correct in saying that she had only “borrowed” them.

R353 - The DM like the other tabloids is an Equal Opportunist (er, I mean, Opportunity) outlet. Most of the time, it accepts leaks and press releases by any rep who will give it a story that generates lots of clicks. They don't have to "work with" Sunshine Sachs, anymore than they work with Gayle King or Omid Scobie when they send out stories on behalf of the Harkles.

The story was careful not to use the word "Palace" after the debacle the Harkles created with their lies about the baby's name and the BBC ended up vindicated after the Palace gave them the true story.

Instead it purported to get the information from a source who is familiar with the plans for the PJ. And, it uses that broad but nonspecific term, "it is understood".

But not at any time did the story claim the information was directly from the Palace or confirmed by the Palace.

If the story is true, it's evidence that the Queen really is in her dotard and should step down. It's one thing to let them come to a service in the Abbey, but attending the TTC means a carriage ride and being allowed on the balcony of BP.

The Harkles are intensely disliked in Britain, viewed as traitors, and the risk of booing at public appearances is very high. And, one may imagine the feelings of the Cambridges, Anne, the Wessexes, and perhaps even Charles at this point.

It would be a terrible look for the monarchy: refusing, yet again, to exact full accountability for truly horrible behaviour, and to restore privileges to the guilty whilst sacrificing the feelings of the betrayed, vilified, and attacked.

The BRF cannot be seen to welcome these two back as if nothing had happened, and to play out another facade of Happy Families.

It there's the remotest shred of truth to the rumour, the best thing that could possibly happen is for the Queen to peg out before the PJ rolls around, leading to a state funeral, mourning, no TTC, and an end to any possibility of having those two back.

I don't think Charles wants them on that balcony, and we know William would rather throw them both over it.

Well, we shall see. But if these two set foot on that balcony, I promise I will join the republicans and start advocating for an elected Head of State.

I expect the monarchy to behave as if it actually cares what the populace think. If it refuses because it's too craven and the monarch as a little problem with confrontation, then it's useless, anyway.

The Queen regularly goes for walks (with or without her dogs) on the grounds of Frogmore as it's one of the nicest areas of the Windsor estate and it's where a lot of former royals are buried. Frogmore is also has a very special connection to the Queen because it's where she had a memorial to Patrick Plunket constructed. Plunket, for those of you who don't know, was a very dear friend of the Queen's for most of her life. Shortly after she became Queen she made him Deputy Master of the Household which he held until is untimely death back in the 70s from cancer. Plunket's, who is suspected to have been gay, funeral is the only private non-royal funeral the Queen has ever attended. It is said the Queen continues to visit this memorial very frequently.

If this covering is any indication, the Diana statue looks tall. Is she standing surrounded by children?

That's not the covering. *That's* the actual statue.

R374 - R371 has a point. The Palace did NOT come out and explicitly state that any stories that were untrue would be challenged and corrected. What they indicated was that they would correct lies told by the Sussexes. The tabloids make shit up out of whole cloth every day of the week. The Palace isn't going to stop and correct all of them - just the ones that are so egregiously told by Harry and Meghan.

Some of the shit is undoubtedly leaks from the Sussexes, but that's slightly different. The Lilibet fiasco hit the Queen personally, that was different.

The "they cut me off financially" hit Charles very personally.

But other than those three stories, the Palace has been markedly silent.

And, no one has seen the slightest signs of life at Frogmore Cottage and the tabloids have had paps around there for ages. Eugenie and her family don't live there, they moved in with Andrew and Fergie at Royal Lodge, and they still have Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace in London.

The Queen drives across the large Frogmore estate all the time, and thus by FrogCott all the time. She's headed for Scotland. River doesn't know what he's talking about.

Harry is probably quarantining at Nottingham Cottage in KP, his old bachelor flat. This way he doesn't have to drive in for the unveiling.

There is no way the Queen would break the quarantine rule like that. Especially at her age, vaccinated or no, with that Delta variant increasing cases all over England.

Also, someone on another site saw the plans that were submitted for the renovations of FrogCott to the local planning council.

The place wasn't turned into a single five-bedroom home at all, but split up into several suites.

I don't think the Sussexes ever lived there. I think they hated it, hated the Queen for offering it instead of something like what the Cambridges got, and that's one reason there was so much secrecy of Archie's birth: they needed to hide that they weren't brining him home to the FrogCott.

And I think something bent went down about the money spent on the renovations, too.

Nothing was ever what it seemed to be with these two sociopaths. The Queen was stupid to let them get as far as they did.

Ffs, woman, you were 18 when WWII ended - surely you heard something about how appeasing sociopaths go?

The Queen has attended only a handful of funerals in her reign, including, those of Margaret "Bobo" MacDonald, her nanny then dresser during 67 years of royal service, and her close friend and racing manager, the 7th Earl of Carnarvon.

I don't follow the royals regularly but William seems to have gotten his sexy back lately. He was really attractive, almost beautiful, in his late teens and early 20s, and then he started balding and his face was more horsey. But since he shaved his head and got back into shape a bit, he's looking "classically upper class handsome."

And right on time as the Queen and Will make an appearance...A Sussex rears his ugly head. Couldn't he have waited until later this week? Nope.

"gave him a lump sum at the end of march for over 4 million"

There is no official confirmation from Charles how much he gave or did not give the Sussexes. There is nothing on the report indicating that Charles gave the Sussexes 4 million.

The report shows a TOTAL of 4.5 million spent on the Cambridges & Sussexes combined for fiscal year 2019-2020 ending om March 31, 2020. There is no breakdown of the amount each couples received or spent.

by Anonymousreply 392June 28, 2021 5:05 PM

R392 - since there was a pandemic and Will & Kate didn't go out much (mostly Zoom appearances), I suspect that the Sussexes would get at least HALF of the 4 million or even more since they were embarking on a new life and buying a huge house.

William is defiantly more toned in recent years. A couple years ago he started taking up yoga which he's been seen doing in public a few times.

It's interesting, several American publications are claiming the monarchy is suffering because it lost it's "cool" factor with Harry & Meghan gone. It's ridiculous because royals aren't meant to be cool or trendy. The most loved royals of our time: Queen Mum, the Queen, Philip, Anne could never be described as cool and that's why they are beloved, they becomes institutions within themselves if that makes sense. The Queen is so popular because she is not trendy, she is timeless in a sense. It's reassuring when we see her. While she has been an excellent monarchy, part of her success is due from the sheer fact she's been around for so long.

H&M's departure in the long run might actually be in the monarchy's best interest.

I'm a few years younger than William but he was one of my first major celebrity crushes when I was a teenager. When he was in university, there was a series of photo released of him playing water polo....I can't tell you the number of times I jerked to those pics.

Cutie Russell Myers confirmed on Lorraine today that the Queen did see Harry at Frogmore but socially distanced outside and she did invite H&M to the Jubilee (so that story was likely leaked by the Sussexes).

If indeed, true, R402, it doesn't say much about his judgment.

Not only in terms of trashing his grandmother while lying about the rest of his family, but of other bad choices he's made as well.

by Anonymousreply 403June 29, 2021 4:41 PM

I think that there is probably some truth to that story R402 posted. Harry is totally a poster child for the emotional reactive type who leaps before he looks below him. Being royal is the only life Harry has ever known and once the LA excitment wears off he will miss his old life.

On some other thread I wondered if they'll stay in Montecito. It's beautiful, but not as exciting as LA, which is close enough but still a bit of a hike. The house is nice, but Harry's used to the grandest homes. Could he be getting ever so slightly restless?

Could you imagine being trapped in a house with that one? Even a big house? Now I concede, he's slower than most of us, but eventually even Harry Windsor's got to think 'will you just shut the fuck up?'
