Oh good lord. Her press team is serving some fresh word salad on her website today. The press release--and her book--is all about the relationship between dads and their sons. Well, what about dads who have daughters? Isn't their relationship with their young daughters important too?

She says she wants the book to be inclusive, but it's sexist against little girls.

I think Meghan was embarrassed of her father because he is overweight and kind of dumpy and maybe she didn't bring Harry to meet him because she was afraid he would have loose lips and say some things to Harry that made Meghan look bad. I really do think the main reason she didn't want him at her wedding was because he is a bit dumpy.

The man raised her and supported her dreams, I think it was cruel to totally cut him out. She looked like she had a great time when she used to visit him on the Married With Children set.

Now she made things worse because he is running to the tabloids to get attention, if she was smart she would have paid him a little hush money when she first got engaged.

Diana’s father was overweight and while you wouldn’t describe him as dumpy, he was recovering from a stroke when he walked Diana down the aisle and he was definitely shaky on his feet. But he was an Earl.

Pa Markle could’ve been cleaned up and corseted and stuffed into a suit. MM’s mistake was not bringing him into the loop when she first started seeing Harry. Remember the nauseating Father’s Day tweet about how she was still his buckeroo which I think was during her Suits days? She’d already made up her mind to ditch Dad when Harry made that “family she never had” quote. What an insult that was, to saintly Doris as well.

by Anonymousreply 74June 21, 2021 12:07 AM

Harry's bullshit about wife Markle and "the family she never had" is nothing more than exactly that--bullshit (and another lie).

I saw a late-night talk show interview with maybe Craig Ferguson several years ago when she was on "Suits." She talked about having a bit of an unusual childhood since everyday after school he father would take her to the "Married With Children" set where he was a lighting designer. She was very enthusiastic about it and said that's where she got the "acting bug." She was nothing but complimentary about her father.

It's find of fascinating that Meghan was able to take a tiny kernel of truth - that Archie didn't have an HRH at birth - and twist that into something bigger. Charles wanting to slim down the number of working royals has been known for years. It's also well-known that currently, only the grandchildren of the monarch are titled HRH, not great grandchildren. Yet Meghan said to Oprah that "they" didn't want Archie to have a title. Insinuating that this was some special arrangement made only after Archie was born. That's the mark of someone who is well-versed in the art of lying.

by Anonymousreply 81June 21, 2021 12:52 AM

Harry and Meghan's war with the Royal Family is not sustainable in the long run. We forget now but within 18 months of Diana giving her Panorama interview, public opinion in the UK was turning against her. Meghan was never near Diana popularity and she is loathed in the UK now. Harry is marginally more respect because I think some still see him as the boy behind his mother's coffin. All H&M care about is the American market now but honestly what do they offer? They don't even seem to know.

by Anonymousreply 95June 21, 2021 2:25 AM

Yes, Charles can slim down the monarchy, but a good path to follow is Carl XVI Gustaf, king of Sweden. Carl Gustaf has three children: HRH Crown Princess Victoria, HRH Prince Carl-Philip and HRH Princess Madeleine. They are all married and have children. The only grandchildren of Carl Gustaf who have HRH Prince/Princess before their names are Crown Princess Victoria's children because she is in direct line and heir to the throne. When Victoria's children become adults, they will be HRH, will receive government funding and will be senior working royals.

However, the children of HRH Prince Carl-Philip and HRH Princess Madeleine of Sweden, are named prince and princesses, but they do not have HRH, and therefore will not be working royals when they come of age, and they will not receive government funding. Carl Gustaf's grandchildren who are not in direct line to the throne are still princes and princesses but not HRH, receive no government funding and will be expected to make their on way in the world when they become adults. This seems fair.

Charles could follow this model. Archie and Lilibet could still be a prince and princess when Charles becomes king, but they would not be HRH. Only William and Kate's children will be HRH because they are in direct line to the throne as children of William.

On another note, Beatrice and Eugenie should keep their HRH when Charles becomes king since they have had those styles all their lives. However, in the future, children of those not in direct line to the throne (for example, children of Andrew or others considered "spares") who are grandchildren of he monarch, could still be named prince/princess at birth, but they would not be HRH, not receive government funding and would not be considered working royals. Not receiving government funding is Charles main objective, and if you don't have HRH before your name, then you don't receive government funding. If you are a grandchild not in direct line to the throne, then you are still eligible to be prince/princess--but no HRH and no government funding. Problem solved.

I myself would like to believe that Charles has made the decision to keep HRH and titles from Archie and Lili to protect them, rather than punish them or their trouble-making parents.

He knows they will likely be mercilessly merched to death by H&M, so he's making it more difficult to do so.

by Anonymousreply 99June 21, 2021 3:00 AM

But why should Archie and Lilibet be Prince/Princess at all? Lilibet wasn't even born in the UK, and she and her brother will live their lives as American children. It's silly to give them the title just because their parents want it for publicity purposes.

If you aren't the child of the heir or the heir's heir, you should be styled according to your parent's title, in most cases as the son or daughter of a duke which makes YOU Lord or Lady so-and-so. If you're never going to be a working royal, and Archie and Lilibet won't be, that's sufficient status.

This is also true of people like Louise and James Wessex or the future children of Charlotte and George. Though born in the UK, they will be private citizens and don't need to be Prince or Princess of anything.

The Netherlands does it even better than Sweden imo. There the children of the younger sons of the monarch are styled Count or Countess of Orange-Nassau. No HRH, no princely titles, no public funding or royal workload. They are given titles/ranks in line with the nobility, which is appropriate.

by Anonymousreply 102June 21, 2021 3:09 AM

In the future, if the only working royals are those in direct line to the throne, then there will not be enough royals to fulfill all the obligations that Charles, Camilla, Will, Kate, Edward, Sophie and Anne perform all over the UK. George, Charlotte and Louis will not be working royals for almost 20 years. At that point, Charles, Camilla and Anne will be in their 90s.

Are Will, Kate, Edward and Sophie going to be making 300 appearances every single year? There is simply too many charities and patronages for four people. They really ought to consider using Beatrice and Eugenie. They seem like perfectly lovely young women, there is no scandal between them at all and they both seem willing to serve the monarchy.

R109 Because their egos wouldn't allow them to always have to take a back seat to the Cambridge family. Harry is the Margaret and Andrew of his generation. He is the spare and eventually would've been eclipsed by the Cambridge kids as they got older and married. They clearly want to be "bigger" than the BRF, they want a luxury celebrity life with no commitments. Royal life is not glamorous. It's boring work and traveling the world and making small talk day in and day out. Meghan allegedly didn't want to live in Kensington because it's effectively an apartment building, and even Frogmore was not up to her standards.

Megs making a play for Bill Gates. Who would have ever guessed:

Come sit on the bench next to BG and we will tell you an interesting story about two famous couples!

Actress and Baldy have been married for just a few years.

Brilliant and Mrs. Brilliant have been married for many years.

We knew that Brill cheated on Mrs. Brill, but that behavior had been going on for a long time. Mrs. Brill is not naive, so the fact that she had stuck by Brill all these years implied that she had resigned herself to a lifetime of tremendous wealth but not-so-tremendous fidelity.

Because the infidelity was not public knowledge, the news that The Brilliants were splitting up probably came as a bit of a surprise to you.

It did not come as a surprise to Actress.

Apparently, Actress had been tipped off by another wealthy person several months before that The Brill’s marriage was in trouble.

[Actress] tried to arrange a meeting.

What kind of meeting?

A meeting about charity.

You see, Brill and Mrs. Brill are prominent philanthropists and involved in many charities.

Actress and Baldy are wannabe philanthropists. They are younger than The Brilliants and have more fame than money, so their version of philanthropy involves jumping from one charitable cause to another to keep themselves in the headlines.

It seems that Actress wanted to arrange a meeting to talk about how she and Baldy could support one of The Brill’s causes.

It didn’t matter that Actress and Baldy had never even mentioned this cause before. Suddenly, this cause was one that Actress really cared about.

The logistics were even more interesting.

[Actress] wanted to meet in person and was willing to jump on a plane if [Brill] himself was going to be at the meeting.

Given that Actress and Baldy had made a rather public point about not traveling to see Baldy’s family, her willingness to fly clearly demonstrates her tremendous commitment to this cause.

The dates that she proposed were dates that [Baldy] might be unable to attend because of other commitments.

So rather than couple meeting couple, this could have been a scenario where Actress met with Brill without either of their spouses present.

Why was Actress so keen to meet Brill?

Was she that devoted to Brill’s cause? Did she want to hand Brill a check in person? Was she hoping that Brill would, in turn, financially support one of her causes?

Or was she trying to wrangle an invitation for her and her husband to play with Brill on his yacht this summer? Did she see Brill as a gateway to other important one percenters?

Or did she think that the soon-to-be-single Brill would meet her in person and be swept away by her beauty, charm, intelligence and passion for the same causes as him?

We hear that Actress did not get that meeting. To stay in Brill’s good graces, though, she did do some high-profile work for the cause.

Of course, Actress had nothing to do with the breakup of Brill’s marriage. We just find it very coincidental that she suddenly took an interest in one of Brill’s causes when she found out that his marriage was in trouble and thought it was important to meet with him in person.

It will be interesting to see if Actress is able to arrange a meeting with Brill at some point in the future.

With or without Baldy.

You block the Sussex trolls, don't engage with them. Their posts disappear, we go back to royal gossip: probably the most ancient form of gossip there is.

Meanwhile, I call bullshit in the story that Harry only agreed to the interview after he lost the military honours. It was in the can, unless they were functioning morons, they had to know they were going to lose that shit at the end of the year. They tried to blindside the Palace again, ITV leaked that the interview was about to air. TQ immediately took the military and royal patronages. And BP leaked the bullying story. Then they re-did some portions of the show with additional footage so Harry could spew his hatred. But he and Oprah were already working together.

River is wrong. Charles can take Harry's kids' HRHs, but he'd be doing it retroactively, which will mean opening his reign looking petty and vengeful. They get those HRHs the minute the Queen dies. Only then can Charles issue Letters Patent changing their status.

The time to prevent it is now, before it happens. That means the Queen has to stop it. She's fucking 95. She can't wait any longer to take Harry's ducal title and issue the Letters Patent amending the titles act, and restricting the HRH only to children of direct heirs. Otherwise, she risks further damage to the monarchy the minute Charles becomes king.

Pull the tooth now. This has gone on long enough, and these two ingrates have already done their worst.

R132 It is and it isn't. The Harkles have taken some PR hits recently: the Palace calling them liars over that ridiculous name they have that pook kid, her book flopping badly to the sound of jeers heard in Outer Space, and the weekend's article making it clear the bullying investigation has legs.

They have only one response, and that is to try to turn each story on its head ny releasing another We're The Real Victims! story.

They tried throwing the race card down again, then the titles card, and today it's the military honours card.

It's transparent and, therefore, instructive as to the reality you're looking at: they're desperate and they keep hoping to blackmail the Palace into leaving them Harry's title and making their kids HRHs

They both knew that there was slim to no chance retaining their most prestigious bennies after they left and the shit they colluded on in Scobie's garbage book. They pretended to be shocked but only should have been if they were delusional.

They are trying to be deft about batting each bad ball back across the net, but because they are so transparently petulant, spiteful, greedy, and shortsighted, the ball keeps coming back.

They are fully OUT now and they know it. All they can do is try to milk it as far as they can.

The new story, you're right, isn't new, but it does in it's way lay act as confirmation of what we on DL said from the beginning: they are a pair of borderline sociopaths intent on destruction but failing to realise the truth of the old Chinese military saying: the enemy who lifts his arm for a fatal blow exposes his heart.

The Harkles in their lust to spill royal blood have exposed their hearts and it's not a pretty picture.

And the Queen may just may take advantage of their carelessness.

If she doesn't, shes a fool.

R127 I agree. Catherine Saint Laurent was heralded as a major poaching coup for the Sussexes. That she left albeit discreetly in under one year speaks volumes about how unhinged the pair are: they couldn't even control their behaviour to hold onto one of the best and most well-connected in the business. It's not feasible that Saint Laurent didn't report fully to her old boss on what she saw of Meghan in those 11 months.

Gates may be a shite and even fall somewhere on the "spectrum". But he's no Harry Windsor. Gates gotca full report from CSL, and is far too canny to be taken in by a two-bit grifter like Meghan.

I'll lay odds that the next woman on Gates' arm will be young and beautiful, and look more like William's wife than Harry's.

It is plain the Sussexes are either being told only what they want to hear or they won't listen to advice. At the very, very best they will have a small constituency with whom they are solid (who drop by here from time to time.)

They are deeply unpopular but keep sticking to the same failed strategy of attacking discordant social platforms and leaking - I'm not sure how you characterise what they put out there except some kind of Greek chorus strategy.

At some point their advisors will surely start worrying about their own reputations. It's hard to claim to be the great minds behind a colossal failure. Curious strategy for a business or a career.

Unfortunately this is very true. The time to act has come, the sweet spot is now, while the Sussexes are in low regard at home in the UK and there is widespread support for pulling the titles (or at least indifference to doing so). The Platinum Jubilee is next year and no one wants to put a damper on that.

The Queen is 95. The window for action is open now, and may be slowly closing.

R111 - Agree with some, but not all of your otherwise excellent summation. Meghan would have killed to be given that grand flat adjoining the Cambridges, in a historic palace in the center of one of the world's most famous capitals. It was William who saw to it that the Sussexes didn't get that flat. "Even" Frogmore is an understatement: they hated Frogmore and only took it because it was all that was on offer. They apparently asked the Queen if they could reside in Windsor Castle, instead, if you can credit it. Unsurprisingly, TQ said, Fuck, no.

So they settled for Frogmore Cottage, which to most of the rest of us as a free residence with millions spent to renovate on someone else's penny, would have been a miracle on the order of the loaves and fishes.

But compared to what the Cambridges got - The 21-room flat in the historic palace in central London, PLUS Anmer Hall with its ten bedrooms in the "real country" of Norfolk rather than the "suburban" aura of Windsor . . . it looked too Less Than.

But in addition to ego, you have to factor in mental illness. Both are driven by emotional forces they cannot control. Harry's bitterness goes back much farther than finding Meghan, and Meghan's narcissism and willingness to dump people who either disagreed with her or stopped being useful to her goes back much farther than her marriage to Harry.

Just ask Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne, who wrote that devastating column about her experience with Meghan when the shit started hitting the tabloid fan a year or so ago. Retained by Meghan to up her profile in the UK and help her land a high-profile British male, Cowne warned Meghan when she began dating Harry that the UK press was not an animal you could control and that life as a UK royal was neither easy nor glamourous. Meghan, in response, ditched Cowne unceremoniously.

When Cowne wrote the column in the DM revealing all this when Megxit broke, a "friend" widely believed to be Jessica Mulroney wrote Cowne asking her to slant the column in a positive way toward the Duchess.

Cowne ignored the request and wrote her forthright story, which is not by any means totally negative toward Meghan, but makes it clear that her marriage to Harry was based on ambition and social climbing. At the time, Cowne was sure Meghan could name her price for any commercial work and that the Harkles would make pots of money. And, then, later, I think after the PEOPLE Magazine story, revealed that she'd been "asked" to make the column favourable to Meghan.

The financial end hasn't turned out quite like that, and the Sussexes have, especially recently, taken several hits. I'd be curious as to what Cowne's point of view is now.

It's not just ego: it's pathology.

Their uncontrollable urge to strike first and analyse later is, as predicted, slowly doing them in. There is only so far you can take their 2 narratives, race victim and Diana.

The charge of incompetence against her staff will bring in affidavits from unimpeachable sources, and put Meghan on the other end of lawsuit filings as the Defendant. Every strike they attempt makes them appear less and less likable, uglier and uglier., and the Queen and the Cambridges look golden.

They are, increasingly and obviously being backed into a corner.

They have no right to see the report. This was an internal investigation to determine whether the Palace's HR staff responded adequately to legitimate concerns. They have no legal right to demand it.

The net is slowly closing in: exposed as liars by the Palace; Lacey shifting position as he realisrs that he, too, misread the room in his book's first edition; the race allegations don't seem to stick; the Oprah interview backfired on them, not least for the timing around Philip's death and how badly the two behaved during it; and her book was a total flop.

They're flailing and on the back foot, but trying to make it look like the other way around.

Once the Palace backed the BBC story that Harry lied about the Queen re the name and video call, the sluice gates were opened.

The TIMES running that story in which a staffer called Meghan a sociopath, you had to know the worm has turned.

It has been reported that Charles may not want to strip Archie and Lilibet of titles as soon as he becomes king since it is speculated that Charles may want to name Camilla queen rather than the previously agreed to title of 'Princess Consort.' Charles anticipates having to engage in some favorable public relations to win over the public who may not want Camilla named as queen. Charles may prefer to focus his efforts on Camilla's pr rather than worry about taking away titles from grandchildren right off the bat which may make him look petty and vengeful.

Nonetheless, Harry and Markle did say when Archie was first born that they didn't care about titles and would be raising him without one. So they can't really claim he's a prince or Lilibet a princess as soon as Charles becomes king.

I still am astounded at just how stupid Meghan is. All she had to do was behave herself, follow the rules, conduct herself with grace, be willing to learn and a lifetime of luxury was hers, She no longer had to hustle. She no longer had to climb that greasy pole. No, she barged in like a wrecking ball thinking she was going to reform a 1000 year old institution. Everyone would bow down to her. She would be loved and adored. If nothing else this whole sorry spectacle has revealed her for what she is. A petty, uncivilized, rude, obnoxious, crude, and lazy boor. She couldn't even dress properly for the job. I have never seen someone spend so much to look like crap. Harry is not being controlled by her. She is his accomplice and inspiration.

So interesting that Meghan, who supposedly worked her way through college, had an internship with International Services, turn into the Ugly American mini- me Trump overlord with "her" employees. Only the team were not "her" workers, she was aware enough of HR to seek mental health intervention through them, according to another of her tales, and certainly knew they were civil servants.

The whole situation was and is ludicrous, especially the new justifications for her bullying. Very sad that the ever present Prince Harry never intervened, or had Meghan follow the existing standards that had worked for the joint households for nearly 10 years.

They both should be sentenced to factory worklines or a McD drive-thru for a few years.

So if, as expected and by custom, King Charles' wife becomes his Queen, they're not gonna do it like it's a rose ceremony the day after the Queen is boxed in. That's ridiculous and I am surprised Lacey would peddle that rubbish. If he's going to do it, it will be discreetly mooted so it is not a surprise.

It's been a long time since there was a king and queen but from what I could Google, it is automatic under English common law. If a king has a wife, she is his queen. The only thing Charles would have to announce would be if she actually is called the Princess Consort, which as fount of honour it is his to decide. Again, it's hard to imagine any of this being announced as a surprise but it would logically demand clarity... before the big day. I argue Camilla's status and that of the Harry's first wife's dual trump cards will be clearly if discreetly resolved. We may actually be seeing the start of it right now. Why not drop the bomb when they're unpopular? Nobody's feeling particularly sorry for them. The Queen could front it with a Letters Patent of her own (clearly worked through with Charles and William) or Charles could do it if the turning 95 regency turns out to happen (though she's got little else to do now she's widowed, why retire if she's got her marbles?)

Under normal circumstances, it would all flow automatically. Nothing about Charles' situation has really hewed toward normal so this is just one more reflection of that. Anyway, personally I can't see how it won't all get done before it needs doing. And it would be tremendously tacky and distracting to have it sorted through while the focus is supposed to be on tribute to this legendary Queen.

R289- She has always reminded me of Arias. I watched that trial and read several books about JA and MM is eerily like her in every way, they even look alike. That is why I have known since they were made to leave trf that she would NEVER be allowed back. She was a very real danger to them, especially the Cambridge family. I also have always believed that MM put her hands on Charlotte. Pinched her or something similar. THAT is why Kate was crying-out of anger. I also think that Archie- if he exist and is their bio child- is kept watched and kept by others. It is already being said today that he was kept at KP and was in the care of others while they were living in the UK. She is a dark triad. The most destructive, sadist, amoral people that exist. Just think of what has been leaked today about her. Can you imagine how much there is that we don't know?

The “royals are racists!” narrative was/ still is a desperate, preventive strike against truths about Meghan’s lies and sociopathic bullying of staff. Insurance policy was the “mental illness” card that both Harry and Meghan now carry. As victims they can preemptively shield themselves against truths that would eventually come out. It’s worked so far because they had received favorable press and sympathy from SM morons who believe only one side of everything. Racism accusations are always to be believed, and cunty behavior is always excusable if it’s due to bastardized definition of mental health.

Except now we’re seeing clapback queens like sociopaths like Chrissy Teigen getting exposed for being fake nice for fame and $$$.

R190 What exactly are you talking about?

Camilla (providing she’s still alive) WILL BE the Queen. Automatically. The woman married to the King is the Queen.

The only issue is whether she’ll be styled that way. Do you understand that, as a matter of FACT, she is currently the Princess of Wales but deliberately not styled that way because of the title’s association with Diana. But she is no less the Princess of Wales than Diana was.

Also, some fool was earlier claiming that Louise & James would have to ask HMQs permission before using HRH Prince/Princess as adults. Rubbish. Those titles...as the protocol currently stands....are their birthright. They need no one’s permission to use them, not even HMQs.

That would be me, the fool who's studied history and heraldry and imparted much of my knowledge here over the years. So, allow me to get up on my soapbox and properly school you again.

The HRH honorific is NOT A BIRTHRIGHT. Nor is a princely title. They spring from the will of the sitting monarch, who as fount of honour in the UK has the exclusive right of conferring, or if necessary removing, titles, both in the Royal Family and even in some cases, the general peerage. The Queen has stated that the Wessex children will be styled as children of an Earl. That has been the final standing word to this day..

Her statement about this - back in 1999 - mentioned nothing about a change in status when they turn 18, or granting them a decision in their styling upon reaching majority age. If and when one of both of the Wessex children ever begin to be styled as HRH or Prince/ss, it will be with the express consent of the sitting monarch at that point in time.

You - and many others - confuse the LP of 1917 as the only order which defines monarchial control of HRH and titles usage. It is only one way this is done. That is the standing LP that generally determines the receipt of royal titles and honorifics in the BRF; however the current Queen (and past monarchs, including her father and grandfather) have made specific exceptions to it, both via issuance of newer LP and statement of their explicit wishes. Both methods hold weight. There are several examples of this over the past century.

The Queen and her father/grandfather used their power to upgrade rank and styling among non-royals, ie family members of peers. They granted specific British stylings to foreign royals living in the UK. None of this involved Letters Patent.

Insults will get your nowhere r208. You remain flagrantly ignorant.

Louise and James are in the same position as the York girls in that they are male-line grandchildren. Main difference: Bea & Eugenie's titles were never the subject of a public declaration by the monarch. It was the MONARCH who declared their stylings before they were born, with the input of their parents. It was never stated that it was solely Edward and Sophie's decision - it was certainly not. (psst...Charles btw, certainly also advised on it behind closed doors). It was more of a group decision than you clearly realize.

You are a dolt, an adorable one, but still a dolt. Camilla is Princess of Wales not because she has an intrinsic right to that title but because she's married to the Prince of Wales, and has the title as a courtesy. She - and her husband - choose to use the title/style "Duchess of Cornwall", by their choice.

The MONARCH - who has the ultimate say - has allowed this to happen via her implied silence on the matter and therefore, her consent. She has never weighed in, publicly or officially, on the topic. The clear implication is that, if Camilla so wished, she could begin to style herself as Princess of Wales at her own discretion (she will likely never do so).

And I'll keep posting my boring lectures here as long as twats like you continue to misinform.

This is what I do not get. I think that in the grand scheme of things, going from D-lis (not even) actress to royal duchess was a huge get on Meghan's behalf. I won't even call her D-List because non of even knew who she was until she started started dating Harry. Heidi and Spencer from are D-List. How could this not go to your head.

From Lacey in The Times today:

William and Harry spoke to each other as mourners made their way back up the hill to the castle’s state apartments. However, there was no two-hour family conference and afterwards Prince Charles headed to Wales while William and Kate returned to Kensington Palace to put their children to bed.

Lacey writes: “They told friends that they could see no point in talking to Harry, since any discussion of substance would go straight back to Meghan to be leaked out via Oprah or some other tentacle of the Sussex network that had not stopped spreading stories in the weeks since the interview that the couple’s friends had promised would be their final word.”

Describing how family feelings at the funeral were running deep as a result of the interview, which was broadcast in March, Lacey writes: “It was not by accident that neither Anne [the Princess Royal] nor Sophie [the Countess of Wessex] exchanged a public word with Harry in the course of the afternoon.

I bow to no one in my contempt for Meghan and Harry, but I do reserve a fair amount for the Palace itself, which, in dealing with the two, continued a loonnnggg tradition of ignoring the advise of highly skilled advisors, covering up, evading, obfuscating, delaying, and altogether displaying a staggering ability to ignore the handwriting on the wall with fingers crossed behind their backs.

I keep referring back to historian Max Hastings' Open Letter to Harry and Meghan in Airmail at the time of Megxit (link attached). He served in an advisory position to the Palace and was very forthright about senior royals' constant Yessing of advisors and then turning around and doing the opposite, and then expecting courtiers and advisors to clean up the mess. This appears to have been true of everyone from the Queen to Charles to Diana herself. His portrait of how they ran their lives is only slightly less flattering than that of the Harkles themselves.

He also said that everyone knew that after Harry left the military, "he was a train wreck waiting to happen".

Everything that has occurred since the Sussex marriage has shown Hastings to be savvy and sapient. Anything the Palace could have done: telling Harry to take his grifter GF back to Vegas to marry her in an Elvis chapel; insisting that they live together in London before the marriage; insisting that they be royal but nonworking as the slimmed down monarchy plan was already in the works, and letting them know before they got marriage that the 1917 Titles Act would be amended to limit HRHs to children of direct heirs only so she could bail if she wanted . . . anything but give in and spend tens of millions of taxpayer money on them, pretend there was no problem at all, desperately trying to hide the fact that they'd already had to pay off with cheques/jobs/references in return for NDAs with abused staff . . . The Palace knew from the beginning that Harry was a loose cannon and Meghan a vicious, hard-arsed grifter who was counting on them keeping shtum once the engagement was announced.

Another huge mistake was Charles and Andrew pushing out Lord Geidt because they didn't like the tough-minded former intelligence chief telling them things they didn't want to hear. It was a power struggle between the Palace and Clarence House/Royal Lodge.

Geidt was brought in to "manage" the Sussexes, and then wasn't allowed to.

So to a large extent, much as the Sussexes appall me, I have to say that for the most part, the Palace's stupidity also does. TQ should have told Andrew ten years ago that he either dropped Epstein or she'd retire him from public duty and the Sovereign Grant. She shouldn't have made Harry an Honorary Major when he proved to dumb to pass the Major's exam. Most of all, knowing Harry for the loose cannon he was, the Palace should have declared the slimmed down monarchy imminent as soon as William married Kate in order to "manage expectations" on Harry's part. The Queen should have let Harry leave the moment he expressed doubt about his role as a working royal. Instead, probably with the best intentions, TQ persuaded him to stay in, figuring he'd meet some nice English girl and she'd steady him.

Across the board, the Palace made bad decisions all the way down the line. They'll probably win in the end, because as the old chess saying has it, the winner is the player who makes the next to last mistake. So far, it looks like the penchant for overreach and a massively overinflated view of their own value and relevance, it looks like it is the Sussexes who have made the last mistake.

There may not be evidence of physical, but Meghan's psychotic rage and envy of Kate makes it all too plausible that she'd find ways to take it out on the toddler daughter instead of the mother, whom she naturally wouldn't dare take on in that situation. I'm sure that shove wasn't lost on Kate and William, and I don't at all blame them for wanting that bitch far away from their children.

I suspect other video and recordings exist of her rages and those of Harry, after all, they made unauthorized videos and recordings themselves, no? And they intend to release them in a documentary. They also described the Cambridge's home in great detail to Scobie, any security concerns be damned. Turn about is fair play, no?

Stories have come out from those present at the fittings and we all saw that was the only wedding where the Cambridges kept the children with them or their nanny, at the other 3 weddings they were in that season the kids ran around with a pack of kids. That unique behavior and how poorly fitted Charlotte's dress was lend credence to the stories.

Speaking about the Cambridge kids - I have suggested in the past and do again, that it is a mistake to forget that one of the main witnesses to what happened to Charlotte during the fittings, etc. is Charlotte herself. And, believe me, kids do not forget.

I know this from what I witnessed.

I was doing some family history research on the paternal side of the family of my cousin. (His mother and mine were sisters.) I had known both my cousin's father and paternal grandfather and they were lovely men. But I knew little about his paternal grandmother who was long deceased at this time. I know she had been alive when he was a boy and at least around the time he was starting high school.

As I was mentioning her to my cousin, his face strongly showed a negative emotion. When I asked him about it, he responded in a cold, angry voice "She made my mother cry."

This was decades after the woman had died.

It struck me then that whatever he saw as a boy, it stayed with him and as a long grown-up, that was the memory of her that he carried.

Charlotte, I suspect, has a clear picture of MM and is unlikely to forget.

MM can expect no quarter from that direction as time goes on.

The Palace has shown itself to be quite dumb about handling the Sussexes, but the idea that Britain's Head of State would have colluded with the sixth in line in a massive deception of the public whose taxes were supporting the Sussexes' work as royals at the time.

Is your local library part of a larger library system with multiple libraries? (Mine is.) If the book I want is not in my local library, I can request it be sent from a different library. Or pick it up from the other library. When I search my library's catalog online, I can search through "All Member Libraries" and the resulting list will report who in the area has the book.

You can also do a search on WorldCat (look under Research on your library website to find it). WorldCat is a huge search engine where one can look for all kinds of books and other materials and find all the libraries in the US and beyond (I think) who have a copy. You can request an inter-library loan through your own library.

The Sussexes’ PR team had to admit the embarrassing fact which we’d known all along, that they had purchased domain names based upon iterations of Princess Lilibet Diana. This tacky deed was done before the baby’s birth, hence before the cunty couple informed the Queen of her being honored with crass commercialization of her private pet name.

Imagine being so blatantly stupid to set up those domain names privately via third parties, thinking that no one would link it back to them. Also loudly proclaiming it was done to guard against commercialization of the name as justification when the truth was admitted. Except no intelligent person would believe this justification. Why cloak it in secrecy via third party registration? Why not safeguard commercialization by NOT naming their daughter Lilibet? Why not have the Queen as the final say in how her name is used? Their lawyers and financial team knew about the stunt naming well before the Queen did. Now to damage control by ineptly saying it was done yo PROTECT the Queen?! Priceless dumbfuckery. I hope the Sussexes didn’t waste much $$$ on such inept PR team.

R254 Oh ffs there are no dispositive photos or videos out there. People are seeing what they want to see and you have no clue whether she was padding. If it were that easy to see, the BRF would have seen it. The Queen has had 4 kids, Kate three, Anne two, Camilla two and Charles went through two pregnancies with his wife. Do you think they're deaf, dumb, and blind?!

The monarchy would be OVER if it were that easy to see that the entire BRF including the Sovereign, colluded in a gigantic fraud on the British people so Harry's kids could have a right to a place in the line of succession. He's the fucking 6th in line.

I saw this whole scenario played out with Cumberbatch's wife: the photos with squiggles on them "proving" the bump moved, where the moon bump line was. It was pathetic how those lunatic fans couldn't handle the fact their beloved Dorkybatch grew up, got married, and fucked and bred with a woman they didn't like.

The Sussexes couldn't possibly have kept that secret from the BRF machine and no one would ever believe otherwise and the monarchy would be crucified.

It's bullshit. MI-5 would have been on it like a terrier on a rat. NO ONE in the core senior ranks of the BRF would have colluded in it, nor could it have been hidden from them.

Don’t all prominent people buy up their domain names so no one else can use them?

They could buy the domain name in anticipation of Big Liz approving the use of Lilibet, then never use it if plans changed.

(Besides which, practically speaking, there was zero chance Big Liz was going to object. It would make her look like a petty ogre.)

The salient point in this whole sorry saga?

The magical claims of a billion dollar empire will never come to pass. It doesn't matter how much the HAMS spend on PR. At the end of the day your PR needs to have something they can sell. Something they can work with. Harry and Meghan are rather unattractive, middle aged, talent-less, charisma-less twits with the attention span of gnats. They are lazy and never stick with anything long enough to make anything work. They do not have what it takes to make it in Hollywood or anywhere else. Meghan achieved very little in the entertainment industry pre Harry. Had Harry not been born into wealth and privilege he would have had a fatal drug overdose eons ago.

I rather suspect the offers the pair of them thought would flow in have all but dried up. Corporate America is not going to court controversy. There is is only so many times you can tell your tales of woe before people tune you out. The cries of racism are ridiculous considering it was HM who led the charge against apartheid in South Africa. Markle has always claimed to be Caucasian. She has married tow white men. All of her previous boyfriends were white. She never dated a black man.

When the lid is blown off Markle and Harry's behaviours ad conduct Oprah Winfrey is going to look like a prize fool for giving a platform to two vicious lying bullies.

This is a great example, we just saw them make the same claims against the BBC and threaten to sue and it turned out they were 100% LYING and have since admitted it.

"Robert Lacey, the author of Battle of Brothers, claimed this week that William was "horrified" about the accusations and confronted his brother in a "fierce and bitter meeting".

"The moment the prince heard the bullying allegations, he related to this friend, he got straight on the phone to talk to Harry — and when Harry flared up in furious defence of his wife, the elder brother persisted," he wrote in an extract from the book, published in The Times.

"Harry shut off his phone angrily, so William went to speak to him personally. The prince was horrified by what he had just been told about Meghan’s alleged behaviour, and he wanted to hear what Harry had to say."

The Sussexes have denied all allegations of bullying as inaccurate and insisted it was the product of a “smear campaign”. In a statement issued to the newspaper, they said the claims were “defamatory” and “based on misleading and harmful information”.

How do we know? Well, they publicly tried to blackmail the royal family! Can you imagine? Did you ever think we would see something as wtf as that?! They also merched a funeral wreath live on national TV - DURING THE FUNERAL!!!! The Queen's husband of 70 years. Did I mention he was a prince? You damn straight we are here to see the ending to this year long real life drama. The queen is beloved by many of us in America. We do not like some unwashed gutter trash abusing her, or any 95 year old grandmother. So all you stans and SS just give up. You have lost control of the narrative. Go away now.

On my Twitter feed with Murky Meg and others, the talk is that MM learned all about conning, grifting, victimizing people from Doria. Doria allegedly betrayed Tom Markle by commiting financial scams and framing Tom Markle. She supposedly has a criminal past.

Something that keeps being demonstrated to me is that, if someone makes a big show of something, you can be reasonably certain that it’s misdirection and they are doing the opposite.

When someone stresses how much they loathe drama, you can bet they create it everywhere.

When someone says they value kindness, you can bet they’re mean cunts to people they don’t think are valuable.

When someone says homosexuality is a disgusting sin, you can know, without a doubt, it’s all they want to do.

Meghan’s “but is he kind?” and her commitment to “compassion” is how you know that she’s a mean cunt. (See also: folksy Oprah, joking Ellen)

Meghan has stamina for sure.

She's desperate to protect her ego, that's why she lashes out on people. Not a good look when you're accused to be a bully.

She has to perserve her image of being the most nice, the most compassionate, the most progressive, the most perfect in every way. If people point out she's not that perfect or has her own faults, she attacks them or ghost them. It's probably because she's, deeep down, very insecure.

If Kate attends, it will be to support her husband and draw some heat away from him, or maybe provide a buffer between the two, the way Peter Phillips did at the funeral. I'm not even sure press will be allowed.

What articles like this do is make what they think are 50-50 guesses, so if they're right they look as if they have insider sources, and if they're wrong, they just don't mention it and move on.

It is claimed, experts say, insiders report, soyrces close to the couple, friends say, and careful use of the words could might may . . .

This isn't going to be like a televised royal wedding. More like Archie's christening.

Of course, if Meghan had been a different person, it might have been more broadly covered and televised, with wives and grandchildren all there.

Instead they keep whipping up public opinion against them by poking at the BRF and most annoyingly, the 95-year-old Queen. The BRF have made it clear they don't give two fucks what the Sussexes do or say, as long as it doesn't involve or invoke any of them or their work.

I’ve seen this a few times in my life. An adult who immediately upon entering a new environment starts to pick fights with whatever children happen to be on the scene.

My father is married to one of these. My brother and I are reluctant to invite them to any social gatherings because she picks fights with our small children and our friends’ kids. She can’t be left alone with kids. And she will not allow our father to be out of her presence.

This means our father will probably never know his own grandchildren all that well because of this loon.

R285 No one said it was a crime in the fucking legal sense, it’s the extra steps that the Sussexes did to get mileage out of the stunt naming that most take issues with. Also, if your only good defense is “it’s not a crime” then you know you did some lowdown shit. Tackiness aside, it the Sussexes being extra, like trying to score points with the public by saying it was to honor the Queen, and that she gave her blessing. The whole fucking point of bringing up the Sussexes buying up domain names doesn’t have to do with whether it’s a smart thing to do or not, as some idiots trying to divert attention from fucktard Sussexes are doing. It’s the fact that their lawyers and financial team knew about the stunt naming BEFORE the Queen. Contrary to the public lies Harry and Meghan were feeding the media.

To add to what R374 is saying, HM has many namesakes: Her daughter, 3 of her granddaughters, and 3 of her great-granddaughters have Elizabeth as a middle name. The issue is not using the name Elizabeth: If the Sussexes had asked to give the little girl Elizabeth as a middle name, HM wouldn't have minded. She might not even have objected to their naming her Elizabeth as a first name.

The issue was taking the Queen's private nickname without permission, probably for merching purposes. That was presumptuous and greedy.

Catherine is everything MM fantasizes about being. Legs for miles, her thick, beautiful hair, model figure. Most of all she is married to William. The man who will be king. There are embarrassing pictures of smegs drooling lustfully at Wills. She would have taken him from Kate in a heartbeat if he had been willing.

Catherine is everything MM aspires to but falls short on every level. It wouldn't matter is she was a loving and kind individual but she is just Harry's toxic twin.

Meghan and Harry would not ever come back to the BRF even if the BRF offered them the chance (which it won't). They want to be treated as William and Kate's equals: Equal housing, equal access to jewels, same HRH Prince/Princess titles for their kids, same number of glamorous royal trips, etc. That's not how the BRF works. It is a hierarchical institution. William will be king one day, so William and his family get the best of everything.

That said, what B-list royals get is pretty damn good. Harry and Meghan would have gotten even more if they'd behaved themselves. They lost perks like the KP apartment and access to the Royal jewel vault because of their own bad actions.

They had a sweet deal but flounced because they couldn't get the SWEETEST deal. The sourer their current situation gets, the more they blame it on everyone except the actual guilty parties: themselves.

R390 The topic of William having an affair was discussed at length on at least one of the previous threads that have been deleted. The falling out between Kate and Rose Hanbury stemmed from an argument about Rose's son Alexander allegedly bullying George. I believe details of this emerged in a podcast with Camilla Tominey and Russell Myers back in 2019. Rose and Kate have since made up and were actually seen out together right before the pandemic begin in March 2020. The rumours abut William and Rose having affair seemed to have started after the Daily Mail insinuated that William and Rose were very close friends. People online began running with this.

Harry fully expected to have all of his costs (including security) paid for indefinitely. He seemed to take a great deal of umbrage at the fact he was no longer eligible to receive taxpayer funded security. He expected the Canadian taxpayers to fund his security and when he was informed the Canadian government would not fund it he hightailed it to the US.

During their OW interview, MM seemed to imply Archie was not made a prince because of his skin colour and he would not receive security for the same reason. The obvious follow-up would have been to ask why the taxpayers of Canada/UK should even be funding the lifestyle for a pair of middle-aged millionaires. Why is it acceptable for people who are struggling themselves be responsible for Harry's bills? MM told big fat porkies which went unchallenged by OW. Again I really assign most of the responsibility to Oprah. When this whole thing blows up, the lies are all revealed, the bullying behaviour revealed, the vast amounts of money spent on two worthless twats, the fact none of HM's great-grandchildren are fashioned prince/princess (The Cambridge children are because their father is in the direct line of succession) and security decisions are not made by the BRF, she is going to look like a moron.

It was disgusting to have a 37 year old man whinging away that daddy cut-off his allowance. When you quit a job you are no longer eligible to be paid. Millions have lost everything during this pandemic. Americans like Oprah and Gayle should refrain from commenting on the BRF when they do not understand how the institution functions. MM wanted the RF do stop her negative press coverage. The monarchy is constitutional not absolute.

Archie wasn't offered a title. He was born automatically entitled to his father's subsidiary ne. If the Queen hadn't made William's kids HRHs, George would be Earl Strathearne. I think that's William's Scottish earldom after Duke of Cambridge.

Harry knew the moment the Queen issued the statement gifting him with the three titles (Duke. Earl, and Baron) that his oldest son would be Earl Dumbarton.

They are so curiously devoid of real political skills.

The total fund for the annual supplement for BOTH sons was £44.m or so. Harry got his £2.2 or so, about $3 million in USD at the time. If Charles added more from his personal portfolio, that wouldn't show up in the public reports the Duchy is required to make each year. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. But the fact is, the sum Harry got from Duchy monies was what he would have gotten were he still living at Frog Cottage and a working royal, and was nowhere near $10 million USD. The Duchy monies also provided a separate "dress fund" for Kate and Meghan so that they could build wardrobes appropriate to their work, particularly as foreign tours often require accommodation to special customs of the host country, such as what Kate had to wear over five days in Pakistan on that tour last year.

Charles also offered the Sussexes a large country estate in Herefordshire, which isn't far from Gloucestershire, where Highgrove is, and is near the Welsh border and beautiful countryside. They turned it down.

Apparently, this area wasn't scenic enough for their tastes. They were probably angling for a place in the Cotswolds where they could be nearer the glitterati who have estates there.

Neither of them have a classy bone in their bodies.

Frogmore Cottage must have been a bitter disappointment. But it was offered AFTER Meghan and Harry had already been uncovered as abusive toward staff, alienated the Cambridges, and pissed off the Queen not once, but several times.

He paid for the inside decorative renovations at Frogmore, and I'm sure he'd have done the same for that estate. The place would have been close to him. He wanted to have his son nearby.

They weren't interested because it wasn't a glamorous enough location. They tried to get the Queen to let them have part of Windsor Castle. Naturally, she refused.

They wanted the most upscale address they could lay their hands on. If they'd been nice people, they might have gotten Kensington Palace Apt. 1 and the place in Hereford.

But because nothing is ever good enough for Meghan, they'll end up with nothing in the UK. And no one anywhere is going to pretend that place in Montecito has the cachet that Kensington Palace has.

I loathe Jan Moir @ The Daily Mail, but not always...

"Prince Harry is back in the UK (or will be very soon), returning to the scene of the crime and quarantining at Frogmore before the unveiling of the Princess Diana statue next week.

One wonders how he must feel, back in the damp embrace of an English summer after the butterscotch, bittersweet Californian sunshine. Back in a country where he severed ties with every aspect of not just his life, but his very identity, too.

No doubt he will have done his triggering exercises on the plane, tapping his temples, humming loudly; the busy prodigal bee, returning to give the royal jelly a good wobble. He will be laying low in the gifted Crown Estate house where he began his life as a parent.

It was Frogmore that became the focus of Harry’s first skirmish with the British public, many of whom were aggrieved that £2.4 million of taxpayers’ hard-earned money had been spent on gender-neutral paint for the nursery and a state-of-the-art aircon system in a house the couple abandoned at the first opportunity."

You can pad your stomach and ass, but you can't pad your face, neck and upper arms unless you're going to enlist a much better makeup artist than has ever been near Markle. Girl was a mess. Nobody expects you to look fabulous in the late stages of pregnancy, but there's no chance she faked that look. It also lasted a long time after the birth - longer than it normally would on a Hollywood actress.

I read the quote from Robert Lacey about Charles being likely to focus on getting Camilla accepted as Queen when he ascends the throne, and avoiding doing anything negative to the Harkles because it would be unpopular. I dunno where Robert Lacey gets his info, but (a) I'm not sure people wouldn't accept Queen Camilla with relative equanimity after all this time*, and (b) if the Harkles got shafted in the wake of the Queen's death, the British people would surely be more likely to declare a public holiday than cry.

*I do think not styling Camilla Princess of Wales was clever. That is how the public knew Diana and so there was more likely to be pushback against that. But people seem to quite like Camilla, and Diana never got near being Queen, so I doubt there'll be a fuss unless the press goes all out to create one.

This to try to prove that Charles was not still supporting Harry after the period Harry alleges he cut him off. But the term Quarter 1 is not in any circumstance used to refer to the tax year but the calendar year! That's equivalent to saying that January to March is the fourth quarter of the year.

R497, I have even seen actresses in films wear them with bikinis so they must be able to match skin tones and somehow blend the edges. It goes over the bust and abdomen. I supposed one could pad the ass too. I knew of someone IRL who had a baby by surrogate but few knew and she wore this. Even in a quite hot climate too, for months. So they have gotten down to the general public as well.

This is so strange. Why expose a newborn? Why was there the claim the not so huge home was divided into 2 units? After taxpayers paid for it to be recombined from 5 units? Why not stay at Nott Cott for example, right at Kensington and purportedly vacant? They are always pushing odd or contradictory stories so we all talk @ it and SS has something to fill all that space with.

R497, I wondered if MM was augmenting her baby bump in the early months as it may not have been so apparent that she was the Madonna with child. Especially when she announced it at Eugene's wedding.

The displays of pregnancy were very over-the-top and she obviously did all she could to accentuate her condition. By the time she went on maternity leave, she was actually getting huge and certainly didn't need any enhancements. It was interesting that she pretty much stayed out of the public eye during that time.

I guess that depends on what you want your brand to be; clearly they don't care about the UK - the emphasis is the US market. Right now, publications like VF appear to be hands off because they don't want to appear "anti-woke" (picking on a woman of color vs. a powerful institution), but the tone of the articles does appear that they're not taking entirely at their word (unlike Oprah).

If the goal was to be tabloid fixtures, it's fair to say that the mission is accomplished. But if the goal was to be serious people rubbing shoulders with big players, their credibility is very much in question and if turned out they lied, their prospects will dry up. It's not unlike Angelina - she clearly wants to be viewed as a player, but her scorched tactics with Brad have made her a pariah to those very same people

I think Meghan is trying to use the Kardashian playbook: huge social media presence, constant merching, extreme litigiousness, nods to the big social issues of the day. She tried it in the UK and she's trying it now, and it failed miserably both times. Of course it was going to fail with the BRF, but she can't even make it work in LA, where the playbook was written. Meghan doesn't have Mama Kris's cunning or five fecund young daughters (at the time the Kardashians became famous) to market.

I have never really followed the KT fam but they had a show and then the members all spun off brands, makeup and clothes and such, no? What besides The Bench are the Narkles selling?

I genuinely believe they want to be a rival court and "best" his brother. Meghan has spoken of him serving as a regent to George. Who knows what crazy dark things they try to "manifest?"

And what are the Yorks up to? One sister has been quite chummy with the Narkles of late, despite the rest of the family being furious with the shakedown attempts as Philip lay dying. What are THEY up to? Has Haz promised them some future benefit? One sister has been working with PR to raise her profile and some even seemed to be cross promo with the Narkles, so she may also be working with Sunshine Sucks. Bears watching. It was rumored that Charles/William pay them $100k each to keep them onside, not much value for the money perhaps.

Bringing over from elsewhere

"The buzz is that the Harkles owe their lawyers 1.5 million as of March 2021 for this lawsuit. The tab is still running with the appeal now set to go on. Even if she gets a million dollar settlement (unlikely), she'll still be out of pocket another million or more. Or rather Dumbass Harry will. Then again, to a narc, any amount of someone else's money is worth it to get a front page apology with her name front & centre. Link: Blind Item #3 TUESDAY, MARCH 02, 2021​ Blind Item #3The alliterate one is going to be out of pocket well over $1.5M after all is said and done for a $1 win. She doesn't have that kind of money, but her husband does. She told him for sure, the other side would have to pay. She was wrong.​ I love how the BRF just put out there that Dos Hrh did not get the Queen’s permission to file these lawsuits and in fact she was blindsided. That’s the word that “Hey Sussex lawyers, don’t come to BP trying to collect on your legal fees. This is not our circus.”

R568 I say let her release it. This seems to be a blatant attempt to get in front of what they fear is going to be a damaging story. But of course if she does release this dossier and like everything they do will most likely backfire. I've said it on other threads but H&M's biggest problem is their own knee jerk reactions.

A real question is, how can she even know what's in the report (which allegedly is still ongoing) unless she already knows because basically the allegations are based in truth. Also, if she names names, those people can sue her for libel and that would force BP to provide receipts. Her best bet would be to just stay quiet and see what happens. Remember BP is presently under no obligation to actually release the report as it is an internal HR matter. But of course she won't, she is not capable of doing that.
