Thanks op and yes to the comment on the last thread I imagine Meghans ex husband is fantastic in bed and him being married to a billionaire I am sure has caused Meghan to feel a bit sick with jealousy at times.

I bet it'll be really boring. Meghan doing a sad face at underprivileged children. Meghan reading The Bench to students. Meghan complaining that no one has asked her if she's OK in the last two hours.

by Anonymousreply 3May 25, 2022 7:42 PM

I wonder about their sex life these days. It's pretty obvious Meghan caught Harry playing the ever-willing sex kitten. I guess she kept up that sex kitten game until she got knocked up, i. e. until she had the meal ticket in her womb that is now known as Archie.

Lilibet's conception was probably just a lie back and think of all the future merching cash situation for her, regardless of the conception being a natural one or one via IVF.

He might add a chapter on their sex life to make the book more interesting.

"It was in Botswana when Meghan first peed in the bushes, then on me. It was also that night she let me enter two of her holes but sadly not the third and final one as she told me back then there wouldn't be any butt sex until after the wedding that'd turn into a demure, chaste Duchess. So I had to make a decision . . ."

If the ghostwriter Mohringer really specializes in taking fathers over the coals, the book might have a bit of interest. It could be the antithesis of the saccharine “The Bench”, which is all about a sweet loving daddy.

These two idiots never wanted privacy. That was a big lie just to "step back" and leave the royal family. They want money and fame on their own terms. That's all they ever wanted...and that's fine. Nothing wrong with wanting money and fame. But it's difficult go about expressing that you want money and fame by acting that you don't want money and fame.

But in order to get money and fame sometimes it's helpful to have a particular talent and a healthy dose of charisma that the public may want to pay for and be around...and that talent could be anything, e.g., acting, singing, diplomacy, inventing, scientific research, writing, delivering speeches, politics, entertainment production, fashion, sports, etc.

Let me know when Harry or Markle have any of those talents or even a something unique that they can bring to the table. I'll wait...

Sheesh, those two.

Harry and Markle should have subscribed to the theory: "Don't quit your job until you have another job."

They had a job with the royal family. And it's okay that they didn't like their royal job. Problem is, they didn't have another job to go to after quitting. We're now seeing the result of not having much to offer.

by Anonymousreply 40May 26, 2022 3:55 AM

^^Yes, the half in/half out royal thing doesn't work--and shouldn't work. It's unethical.

Ironically, they may end up getting their half in/half out wish, goddammit. When Charles becomes king, he's going to need some help. There are far too many royal engagements to attend for just a "slimmed down handful of senior royals." While Queen Elizabeth is much stronger than Charles, and Elizabeth told H&M to go pound sand. On the other hand, Charles is squishy and weak and may give in to H&M's half in/half out scheme since he will need help.

Charles should soften his stance on a slimmed down monarchy. Charles should also tell H&M to go pound sand; however, Charles should elevate Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to senior royals to fill the gap in royal duties--and it's coming as soon as Her Majesty dies. Beatrice and Eugenie know the royal life; they seem very nice, and there has never been a hint of scandal regarding either of them. Screw Prince Andrew. His daughters should not be held accountable for his sins. Beatrice and Eugenie would be perfect senior royal representatives.

The thing is, Beatrice and Eugenie actually do have their own jobs and now, their own children too. Charles should welcome them on board before they get too old and the time comes when their lives are well-established with their own interests. There may come a time when they won't want to accept an offer from Charles. The royal family needs more senior members who are younger and can relate to the public. Andrew is out. H&M are out. Beatrice and Eugenie should be in, at least to pick up some of the royal slack as a result of an overwhelming amount of annual appearances.

R38 I think that’s what Meghan wanted.

Prince Harry never made any real attempts at celebrity.

Harry is like Britney Spears, he only knows how to be a cash cow or exploited, it’s all he’s ever known.

He still acts dutiful, now it’s to his wife instead of the royal family. He does as he’s told.

I think Meghan didn’t understand royalty and how much work it was, she basically said that in the interview. That it’s all taken seriously.

She thought being a princess was basically like being a Kardashian. She thought she’d be able to basically retire with servants and do bullshit charity events like a rich woman from NYC or California as an excuse to throw parties.

When she realized she couldn’t become the next Kardashian family, she bounced.

The older, fatter one may have a sort-of part time job, but the uglier one married to the cheater does not have a "job"- she is always inserting herself into the periphery of the true working royals.

I am pro Beatrice being a working royal on a trial basis and see where that goes. I really liked how she did the very intimate wedding to Eddo in the Queen's gown and tiara. She wanted a big wedding as well, but wanted to marry while Philip was alive. She also excluded Andrew (and Fergie?) from the public wedding photos that were released. Bea took a few for the team so lets see how she does. They are going to need support. Bea can have the half in/half out situation while living in a fabulous London "apartment" w/ country house and all the vacations she wants. She can even secretly fly private - nobody cares b/c she keeps her mouth shut.

Ohhhh get the popcorn: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will attend a key church service in London on Friday next week as part of the Platinum Jubilee to celebrate the queen’s 70-year reign, Buckingham Palace announced Thursday. Controversially, the queen’s disgraced son Prince Andrew will also attend the Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The Sussex children Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, will not attend the ceremony. The palace has declined to confirm whether or not the queen herself will attend the service, with sources saying her confirmation will only be confirmed on the day. Meghan and Harry are likely to come face-to-face with Prince William and Kate Middleton, representing the first time the inlaws have met up in person since an awkward encounter at the commonwealth service at Westminster Abbey in 2020.

by Anonymousreply 68May 26, 2022 2:26 PM

I predict that Charles will never include Beatrice in the set of working royals. First, he has said he wants the number of working royals to be few. Second, he seems to want anything that connects with Andrew and Sarah to be as far in the background as possible. She was asked to work the crowd at the recent garden party by the Queen, not Charles. The idea that Charles will need Beatrice (and perhaps Harry and Meghan) because there are just so many demands is fallacious. The number of patronages can expand or contract based on how many the royal family agrees to. The constitutionally required events (reading of the Queen's speech, meeting with the Prime Minister) are for the monarch alone. Charles will get by with Camilla, the Cambridges, the Wessexes, and Anne, with the Gloucesters and Kents in reserve. And, as was noted above, the Government will never let the Sussexes be half-in and half-out.

That's me late at night googling what's the National Anthem, I've got to learn this, I don't want to embarrass them.

R70. That was one of the most absurd moments in the Oprah interview. It is one of the claims that should have alerted Oprah, despite her limited intellect and total lack of preparation, that this pair were full of it. If it was deplorable of her in-laws not to teach her the national anthem, what can you say of a husband who doesn’t lift a finger to help her? Hadn’t he heard the anthem a time or two? If the in-laws staff are blameworthy because they couldn’t save her from suicide, isn’t it slightly more unseemly that her husband couldn’t be bothered to help her?

Of course, the very assumption that she should have been assisted with learning the national anthem is absurd. If she worked an ordinary job, would she go to her boss for information readily available on the internet.? Would she expect her boss to print directions for client visits?

It's hard to know if this was her pea-brained idea, or if it came from her PR flacks, or Netflix (hoping to breathe some life into their soon-to-be epic fail series), but when you consider the cost of ME-ghan's first-class travel and the transport for her entourage, all that money could have gone directly to the victims' families instead, with better effect.

True philanthropists tend to work quietly, without calling attention to themselves. But the Dumbell of Sussex wastes a chunk of dough just to be photographed presenting sandwiches, and looking solemn at the memorial. I'm reminded of Edina Monsoon's line. "Tears, sweetie, Sad!"

Hate speech, apart from true threats of violence, is legal in the US and protected by the First Amendment.. Hate crimes, such as painting racial epithets on their home, are not. British courts have no jurisdiction over US citizens. Nor is it defamatory to say Meghan has bad extensions because this does not lower her community standing except on DL. Saying she had a netflix crew in tow may be false or not, but it is a reasonable supposition based on her past conduct and the press announcements..

Nothing said here is actionable under any stretch of the imagination although some comments may be offensive. If your theory had any plausibility, half the internet would cease to exist.

People on Twitter are pointing out the fact that at the polo game last weekend, H&M's security were busy pushing media away from the couple (only Netflix & their personal photographers were allowed near them), but here media were allowed to get right up into Meghan's face. Also the audacity of Meghan to bring her security guard to what is probably, at the moment, a memorial with a heavy police presence.

Talk to those who knew him when he was younger. His behavior has been bad throughout his life. The BRF coddled him and used handlers (Edward Land Fox, etc.) to rein him in. They also covered for his shenanigans and poor behavior with loads of had charging positive press. Why do you think no one in England wanted to marry him. He treated those around him like dirt.

Oh and the biggest reason of all, that Johnny Depp learned the hard way (and Brad Pitt and many many more) -- if you find yourself in a relationship with a malignant narcissist, GET OUT AND STAY OUT.

Be sure to act like you don't care if you get shared custody or not -- that's the only possible way to have a relationship with the kids. If she thinks he doesn't care, she might send them over to curry favor with their fellow royals (making her stay 'adjacent') However, if he makes a big deal of shared custody, that's challenge fuel and she'll go into overdrive trying to make sure he never lays eyes on them for the rest of his life.

That's how they roll. It's still better than him martyring himself and hurting the BRF 'and' the British public -- you're making a fool of yourself, Harry, and like it or not, you represent your country. Hurry up and leave. Doria will probably be in charge of the kids and maybe they'll be ok... maybe Thomas was the bad influence that triggered Meghan's narcissism by coddling her.

As crazy as is it, I think he could come back. It's not that hard. A divorce. A return. A period of going quiet and unseen. Then the trickle of stories: the reunion of father and son. The new peace and restored affection between brothers. How Kate brought the splintered family together again. First Christmas in the fold at Sandringham. The discreet, limited comments of friends of the Duke not authorized to speak but who say his regret is enormous... he was lovestruck... blah blah blah. It's a basic narrative. People love redemption. People love a comeback. The only thing that could fuck it up is if he doesn't want to be redeemed.

On the other hand, she is screwed. She will always be the villainess of the piece. The discarded first wife, desperate for revenge. She's the American, she's the disruptor. And her instincts are typically self-defeating. Even if she throws a bunch of mud the establishment will close ranks against her, as above, and then it comes down to who are you going to believe? And who do you think most people will believe? Good thing she likes dressing like Alexis Carrington because she's finally landed a part.

This, R309.

It will be interesting to see how everything unfolds. This jubilee is a milestone for the Brits, and even though the “Family!” press has the BRF unperturbed like ducks on water, there is the wonder: are they pedaling furiously below the surface?

Despite reassurances and making nice, it must be admitted that the antics of The Harkles have impinged on the BRF. Meg’s latest - and most grotesque - stunt in Texas proves there is no bottom to how low the duo will go.

So it remains yet to be seen how things will play out. Hopefully without a hitch. But it would not be surprising if Harry/Meg et al. upstage the jubilee.

Will be an fascinating jubilee period.

R309 is right -- the Royal Family's approach has been successful. When they have to (e.g., no half-in, half-out), the Queen puts her foot down. They correct misinformation ("recollections may vary"). But she's also quick to refer to the Sussexes as beloved family members, and she is wise to include them in the church service next week but not on the balcony. Then, just give the Sussexes enough rope and, well, they do the rest. Ridiculous virtue signaling. Word salads. Playing polo (not exactly consistent with "just call me Harry"). Watching this play out is both sad and funny at the same time. I wonder in what sequence the royals figured Meghan out. I think Charles may have come to the conclusion late -- didn't he at first admire her for her strength? I wonder if MI5 has files on H&M.

[quote]The "palace sources" have been eager to underline how family-oriented HM is and how she is so looking forward to having her (whole) family around her at every turn lately. It's probably strategic, but it still makes me want to puke.

Oh, I'm sure there's a strategic angle, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's the Queen's most fervent desire to see her family all together for at least one last time. Some elderly become very sentimental. My father wasn't a particularly stoic man, but he didn't indulge in emotionalism. In his later years, he became quite sentimental, almost mushy, wanting to see family or people from his past. He'd wonder how so and so is doing and call them up out of the blue. Something he'd never done. He even talked a little about a family reunion, but it would have been impossible to pull off logistically.

I don't know... Liz cut her teeth on the Edward VIII mega-drama. And let's not even get into sister Marg.

She's been there, seen this, and loves Charles... well, probably loves William, and certainly loves the institution of the monarchy and feels personally responsible for its future.

Although... I've been a little surprised at how much she's given in with Andrew - though I did read that at the memorial, the church Dean was supposed to lead the Queen down the aisle and Andrew pushed his way in front. Whether that's true I wonder - but if he did, the Queen and the Dean would hardly make a public spectacle of telling him "No."

I'd like to think the Queen was canny enough to implement a very long-sighted game, composed of equal parts grey-rocking and protestations of family affection. It's possible she understood the Harkles so well that she was betting that if they had enough rope, they'd hang themselves, which they pretty much did.

I'm just not sure it wasn't entirely that - I think poster above is right that she really is hugely invested in family (for some obvious reasons, family is also the continuance of the monarchy), and gave the Harkles every chance to reconsider their position - but once Scabies' book and the Oprah interview hit the fan, followed by the Dax Shepherd interviews, and then Harry getting Gayle King to threaten his family AND revealing he'd shared with her private conversations with his father and brother . . . there was, realistically, no way back.

There is something to be said for each view. The Queen may have been right that leaving them their titles made them look like ungrateful prats, rather than taking the titles and making herself look spiteful.

Meghan's latest, widely condemned stunt, following on the heels of the polo match debacle, in which she again made herself look like a limelight whore, and after which it came out that Harry's team hadn't even won the match, but he lifted the trophy as if it had . . .

Meghan and Harry are, in the final analysis, and perhaps the Queen knew it, their own worst enemies.

I'm just curious as to how Machiavellian she really was about all this, or whether is was just her character.

Because she certainly wasn't savvy about Andrew.

I'd also be curious to know if somehow, somewhere, behind the scenes in some intensely private moment in a very dark corner, certain hints came Harry's way that one day, if he were really homesick enough, there might be a way back for him . . . but without his wife.

It's unfair, as Meghan, I believe, was simply the catalyst through which Harry could fulfill his cathartic rage and revenge fantasy.

But he's blood and she isn't, and she behaved badly enough on her own to forfeit consideration.

I wonder if Harry's thought about it, after the incessant drumbeat of bad PR that follows her consistently tone-deaf moves.

I wonder if an arrangement is slowly taking shape behind the scenes.

The latter was tweeted by the congressman. He didn't sashay in with trays of Costco sandwiches unannounced. But it wouldn't surprise me if he quietly donates.

And his statement hits all the right notes and has the correct tone. Not a hint of divisiveness. And no word salad!

Harry's only way back in is if he throws Meghan under the bus. Even then it might not work, but there is a chance it would if he were sufficiently penitent and ruthless about cutting Meghan off. However, it's unlikely he'll have the balls to do it. She'd leave him if the right billionaire came along, but he'll never leave her. He's too invested in her and the victim narrative that cuts right to his mommy issues.

Post from lipstick alley…..I know I know, but thought it was a good one:

This is a deranged Meghan narc combination of desperation and meltdown. Off the rails completely. Especially the part about William thinking she's such a wonderful mother . ( How would he know). This is in response to the criticism she's had about taking trips and no one ever seeing the kids playing, the backlash about not acknowledging Archie's birthday with their usual announcements and nut taking him to polo games etc etc etc she's ready lately. On top of Pearl cancelled, Invictus criticism, polo joker moves , igniting her sick father and Texas trip. It's just too much failure for her narc mind to handle. This article is both hilarious and scary. I think she's in full blown meltdown and if I were Harry I would be very careful right now. She could be dangerous in many ways. Imagine if Harry is so fed up he really truly finds his balls and lets loose on her ( not physically) and finally speaks up or takes off . Just reading the total fantasy of her PR fluff article is scary. She's lost all sense of control in every aspect of her life right now. She needs help and she needs it now.

There are so many layers of improbability in these stories. The greatest improbability is, of course, that Meghan actually is a good mother. But an additional improbability is that William would have any ability to witness her effective mothering. And even if she is a good mother and William has witnessed that she is, it is highly improbable he would acknowledge it given his history with the woman.

R323 - It can't be underestimated how critical covering the medical and funeral expenses is. On top of the shock and grief, it's a huge financial strain on the families. They probably have some medical coverage, but no life insurance for 10 year olds. Parents will have to time of to deal with a traumatized family. If not in the immediate aftermath, but certainly in the long run the financial obligations can cause all sorts of family problems. At least that burden has been removed. Even in the day of GFM, 21 fundraisers may not come up with enough.

Of all the senior and semi-senior royals, William is the one I would least want to be on the bad side of. Even more than Anne. He gives the impression of being a man who can and will hold an ice cold lifetime grudge for things he considers unforgivable (and I'm sure he considers attacking his wife even more unforgivable than attacking him). I would bet my own money he will never forgive Meghan. He had her number from the beginning, and that footage of the scarfing is all we need to know about the future King's feelings for his sis in law.

Funnily enough, I've always disagreed with those who think Meghan would leave Harry for the right billionaire. I think she loves the status of being a royal duchess even more than she loves money. But the one person on the whole planet I think she would leave Harry for? William. He's the alpha, ranking higher than her own husband and destined for the top spot. I bet M masturbates to that fantasy. Not to the fantasy of having sex with W, but to the fantasy of stealing him away from Kate and being his wife/future queen. It's pure narc fuel.

What r297, r327 and r353 said except that Markle could snag a billionaire.

As another poster so indelicately, yet accurately, put it, why would any heterosexual billionaire want Markle, when he could have his pick of any childless 20s beauty with big tits?

A DLer posted a few years ago in another topic that he worked closely, because of his business, with wealthy, heterosexual males. He said they have no hesitation marrying a divorced woman, even one with children, but a necessary variable to analyze first is who is the ex-husband?

Wealthy, powerful men want women who reflect their own status back at them. If another wealthy, powerful man chose her, chances are, so will he.

Bezos is a nerd. Lauren Sanchez' ex-husbands are a retired star NFL player and a genuine, high-powered Hollywood agent, both part of the cool kids table. With her, now so is he.

It's transactional. It's arms-length, from a certain perspective, because both parties bring consideration to the table that present attractive terms to both- his money, her looks and ex-husband provenance.

I know Sanchez gets dragged here by our resident stone-casters as being a whore, but I don't see her that way. When it comes to game, her and Wendi Deng set the standard. I respect that.

Markle isn't close to their league. To torture the sports metaphor, she isn't even in the same ball park as those two.

Hell, she'd have been better off letting Harry marry some other poor fool and then agreed to be his Mistress, dough-ray-mee up front, of course.

Now, that would have made Markle truly, genuinely interesting.

I agree. Post-divorce, Harry can go back to the UK.

After paying penance for a suitable time, in the woodshed, he'll be forgiven. The only thing is, I think he probably loves and is very attached to his children. Now, that's real. How would visitation and custody be worked out?

To state the obvious, Markle has misplayed her hand. If she had ability to take a shrewd, hard, real look at her situation, she'd be urging Harry to make-up with Prince Daddy Warbucks, er, excuse me, I mean Prince Charles.

I see Divorced People.

Forgot to add, and being the ex-wife of a 6th and counting in line to the UK throne and failure at making a go of creating his own "brand" (ugh) and money, does not reflect attractively back at any billionaire who would assess Markle as wife material.

None of this is fair. None of this is how it should be, in an ideal world where "true love" shouldn't be besmirched with such sordid things.

[quote] He had her number from the beginning, and that footage of the scarfing is all we need to know about the future King's feelings for his sis in law.

So true. I analyzed that footage as a conspiracy nut would analyze the Zapruder film.

William's behavior is masterfully subtle, which serves to make it all the more devastating.

The key that unlocks the reveal of his dislike of Markle is what we're NOT seeing: the cameras taking the footage of what we ARE seeing.

Since he's been a child, William has been used to knowing cameras are lined up across the road when the BRF exits the front doors of a Christmas Day church service. Markle, too, of course, knows those cameras are there.

She turns her attention to William, the Big Dog, and says something to him, so he will respond to her, the goal being the cameras can capture their exchange for posterity.

No way. William knows that's her objective and he has made up his mind that he will refuse to be a part of it, refuse to give her that moment. Wow.

William, plain and simple, dislikes Markle. And I have a feeling he would even if her and Harry would've waited 10 years before they married and her behavior towards his wife and children would have been impeccable.

Flame away at me (I've, however, been scorched here by the best) but I feel sorry for Markle for that. That had to have been an extremely uncomfortable environment, private and public, for her to be in when she was with William, as it would be for anybody in that same position.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who believes anything coming form "Camp Sussex" are as stupid and gullible as Trump voters. The reality is that Harry and Meghan are no longer relevant nor do the majority of people give a damn about them. The only reason we keep hearing about them is because the media mistakes social media reaction for real world opinion. On Twitter Harry and Meghan's deranged cult are hugely vocal but if you look at the actual opinion polls taken in the UK, US and even Canada, M&H are hugely unpopular.

Additionally, many quarters of the British media are anti-monarchy so they are trying to portray this as the War of the Windsors 2.0 (a revival of the conflict between Charles and Diana in the 90s) to damage the institution, but people just aren't interested. Neither Meghan or Harry have Diana's appeal.

Despite all the hoopla around this idea that the monarchy might not survive the Queen's death, it probably won't happen. Charles popularity is actually on the rise the closer he gets to the throne, the more people seem to be coming around to him, indeed, his trip to Canada (where he is still very unpopular) was a surprising success and even the Canadian media begrudgingly admitted the monarchy is unlikely to be abolished in Canada due the constitutionality impossibilities of getting every level of government on board.

I said it the day after the Oprah interview aired, but I'll repeat it. H&M's petulant behaviour and their propensity for hitting the nuclear button would come back to bite them in the ass within in a year. Here we are. Still no projects have been released, Meghan's image problems are probably unsolvable at this point, they are desperately trying to back peddle to reestablish their family connections etc. The truth is that it's the royal family basically holding all the cards now. It's clear the couple need them more than the royals need them. But I still don't think there is a route back to any kind of royal duties (at least for Meghan Harry maybe if he divorces her) and I am still thinking there's a real possibility they will be booed during the Jubilee visit.

R342 I love my brother and his family. We live across the country from each other. We did video calls a couple times during the pandemic. That’s it. And this is a brother who I love, have never had one day of trouble with and never went on Oprah to complain about.

Harry and William are NOT FaceTiming weekly.

The desperation of the Sussexes is truly stunning. The Texas stunt was outrageous. I’m actually starting to get concerned about Meghan—this confluence of terrible press—Netflix debacle, father’s stroke no-show, Texas backlash, sure-to-be humiliation at Jubly, and general failure on every biz venture—might put her over the edge.

Harry is used to being a lovable loser and doubt he’d mind slipping back into his comfortably louche lifestyle. Meghan, on the other hand seems to have sacrificed everything—family, friends, any sense of deep emotional connection—for fame. Look at her invite list to her own wedding—1 member of her family! Only 1–her mother. And a bunch of movie stars she barely knew, Oprah (another stranger), and suits cast mates. She is not a stable person. And she’s getting more desperate as the failures mount.

Actually, I think Harry will be able to shrug off a divorce. Meghan—not so much. She will take a scorched earth approach.

Of course it will. Bringing monarchy to an end in the United Kingdom will be a messy and complicated affair. To legislate it would tear the country apart. If monarchy is to end it will be after a slow withering of public support. That in itself will take a long time, if it happens. Monarchial popularity comes in waves and troughs... for all everyone likes to say the Queen has never put a foot wrong, recall her dance moves at Diana's death... and it still didn't topple... the angry mob wasn't yearning to be rid of her they were desperate for her to speak... which she did and the trough gave way to a new crest... and on and on it goes. If Charles is a trough, he will crest a points as a kindly old man king who laughs a lot in his public appearances, too... and then will come the perfect achetype Cambridges... and on and on. It may fade slowly, but will it? Seems unlikely to me any time soon.

She's 40, she gives every appearance of being doomed to her father's build, her projects aren't the byword for successful and her reputation is evident. The people she seems to want to be connected with generally liked to be connected with success. Limited options. That said, she has a magnificent talent for own goals and bad to worse, so it's not to say she will think she's stuck with him. What seems more certain is whatever path she takes, the outcome will be another fail. And laughable.

They overestimated the level and nature of their popularity both when they left the royal family and later when they did the Oprah interview.Both acts never got them the reaction they craved and more importantly expected. As mad as it sounds it is clear they thought they were popular in their own right and it was totally unconnected to being part of the royal family.It is totally illogical but in fits of tantrums this is the emotion that guided their poor decisions.

Nope, R360. I am sad to say I've seen that footage (and for anyone curious to see again, the link at R361 has a clear view of what came before, during and after the scarfing) multiple times and after reading your post went back to double-check. There is NO "bitter exchange" between Harry and William outside the church as they walk to the cars. Nor would there be, because everyone involved in what appears to be a routine, polite group convo as they leave will know it's being filmed. But feel free to give a exact point of the "bitter exchange" if you like.

Charles is turned around for much of the short walk, talking to Harry and Meghan and also it appears to William and Kate. I see a very brief interaction between Meghan and Kate at about 1:07. Both are smiling politely and Kate of all people would have been one to engage in a little interaction that like in that context (i.e. in the context of them all knowing the cameras were there to capture anything happening between the Sussexes and the Cambridges). At 1:13 the shot drops too low to see any of the faces of the people we're discussing and then back up. At no point is there any noticeable interaction between William and Harry, and neither of them look angry or upset in any way.

The shot cuts at that point right to the scarfing (I don't know how much time was cut here, it's either none or only a couple of seconds). Kate is saying something to Ann, Meghan is looking back at William (this is where she is obviously looking for an interaction in front of the cameras and he denies her - i.e. The Scarfing). Harry doesn't appear to notice the brief interaction between his brother and his wife and just looks neutral-faced/waiting to get into his car and leave.

At 1:30, Meghan turns to look at Kate, again looking for an interaction and Kate graciously gives her a smile.

There is NOTHING in this video that could be interpreted as a 'bitter exchange.' Harry and William do not appear to interact at all, and it's because for most of the time they're interacting with others and are separated by their wives.

R362 - You know, I actually agree with many of your posts, Della, and you have agreed with some of mine. I wonder if it's not this constant self-conscious display of "open-mindedness" from you (you're reviewing your thoughts on the scarfing now you've the footage again? why? because that footage has been out there this entire time and it doesn't actually appear to show anything else than the scarfing as has been interpreted previously - did you even watch it again or do you just want everyone to know, once more, that you're NOT LIKE THE OTHER SNARKERS?).

by Anonymousreply 387May 29, 2022 7:18 PM

This "she's not Hitler" stuff is more of the Della-style 'not like the other snarkers' BS. My most generous interpretation of this reaction (which I see frequently) is that it's coming from people who a)aren't following this REALLY closely and b)are projecting their normal personalities onto someone who most likely does not have a normal one.

Case in point, this insistence that surely Meghan would want to do what a normal person would do under the circumstances - i.e. here, surely she would want to visit her sick father? She's not Hitler, right? So ofc she is worried about her dad.

Do people with these opinions secretly think the Klan Granny Troll is right and we're all just racists who didn't embrace our racism until Meg Markle came along? There are REASONS (non conspiracy, known, factual, actual *reasons*) to believe MM doesn't give a shit about her father. Many of them. I won't list them because I'm sure you're aware of them but again, I'm talking about documented things she has done/said that indicate a cold and total lack of care and concern for her father. And don't come at me with "but he wasn't a perfect dad, either!" I never said he was. Meghan being a shit daughter does not require that Thomas Markle be a faultless father.

[Quote]Case in point, this insistence that surely Meghan would want to do what a normal person would do under the circumstances

It's normal for normal people to humanize others and project themselves into situations. How would I have acted? What is she feeling? What are the people around her thinking? And ultimately, how would I have felt and acted? It's part of having a capacity for empathy and behaving appropriately in context.

The thing is when normal people encounter such deviants as Markle (I use deviant in the statistical sense -- so far removed from the norm), it's mind-boggling, perplexing and disconcerting that we search for understanding about it before coming to the awful conclusion -- that someone may not be Hitler, but they're certainly on the Hitler continuum. I think it's especially difficult for people who either grew up in mentally healthy households or the opposite. Some children born to an NPD parent often struggle with this, not just as naive children or young adults, but for a lifetime. Coming to the conclusion that someone is irredeemable is not an automatic or easy process.

But yeah, Meghan's a stone cold bitch, as we've seen repeatedly.

Della, you really need to stop the apologist bullahit. Harry and Meghan presented as oppositional from the get-go. Remember the Vanity Fair cover she did months before the engagement was announced, breaking the one iron-clad rule: you don't talk to the press whilst dating a royal if you want to earn the Discretion Star?

If William "didn't like her", it's likely because he saw through her immediately. All he did was tell Harry to take it slower

Everyone, Della, EVERYONE, behind the scenes k ow the omens were bad here. Fuck, she couldn't be bothered to wear a hat on a solo trip with the Queen.

They were planning this before the Queen and Charles threw them a $30 million wedding. The bullshit with Queen's dresser and close friend, the leaked nasty stories about Kate, her rudeness . . .

Fuck, Della, she perjured herself in court and had to make a public apology.

Was that down to being "uncomfortable" in "such an environment"?

She's a self-absorbed famewhore. Face it. Everyone wanted to like her. All she had to do was learn how to play the game. She fucking refused.

She showed up in Ulvalde looking three shades darker than she did a week earlier when she was channeling Audrey Hepburn in her huge hat and sunglasses at a fucking polo match, in a clumsy effort to look more ethnic, barely 48 hours after a massive tragedy.

Even the President gave it a few more days and he and his wife showed up in black

Meghan showed up in unkempt hair, a black bra under a white tee, and clearly in PR mode. Is that William's fault, too?

You really have to face it, Della: you're still trying to make excuses for someone who has left way too many breadcrumbs on this trail by now.

Don't try to foist this trail of blunders onto William. That's fucking ridiculous.

Give it up.

by Anonymousreply 398May 29, 2022 8:38 PM

He's speaking, R394. Almost certainly to Meghan, quietly and sort of under his breath the way they all are here because they know they're being filmed. You're the "bitter exchange" poster, I assume? If you are, you should know that "you have no idea what specifically was said" is NOT proof of a "bitter exchange."

The footage is the footage. Watch it again. You are correct that no one can know what was said between any of those people was friendly, because they aren't mic-ed up. But we do have body language (the scarfing itself it pure body language, William didn't bark at Meghan to fuck off) and nothing in the body language indicates anything other than the usual walk from church to the cars. Nothing.

Significantly, there is NO interaction between William and Harry. There is certainly no "bitter exchange" - and you weakly coming back with "they could be sniping and you would never know it" is worthless because barring psychic powers on your part, invisible sniping is just that: invisible. I.e. not caught on camera.

You smell like a stan. A more subtle one than the KGT but a stan all the same. The scarfing is one of the iconic interactions of the Royals + Sussexes saga, and I've noticed the stans have always been particularly salty about it - I suspect because there is very little denying that it was what it was: a very subtle, very complete snubbing on William's part.

Yes, R400, "masterpiece" is right. I suspect William is one of those people who has a natural astuteness when it comes to reading other humans. Maybe it's innate, maybe it's a level of natural suspicion due to knowing from a young age that he'll be King one day and that not everyone he interacts with will have pure intentions, I don't know.

But he's messing with his scarf before AND after Meghan turns to him. The "scarfing" is all in his eyes and the subtle way he turns his body away. He doesn't even look at her, but you can see his gaze flicker away from her when he realizes she's looking at him. It's actually beautiful in it's perfect combination of deniability and, as you said, dismissal. If I was Harry seeing that footage afterwards (and you KNOW he did, you know she made him watch that over and over and over whilst on a tirade about how snobby and awful and cruel and terrible and worse than Hitler the Cambridges are and if you don't get me out of here something BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN etc.).

One interesting detail of the scarfing video posted by R396: When Meghan fails in her attempt to make eye contact with William, she briefly has a very uncertain look on her face as she turns forward again. It's only momentary, but you can glimpse not just a sense of embarrassment and rejection but almost almost panic in her eyes that this is taking place in public view (sorry there's no time bar on the instagram post). This is exactly the same look she had at the polo match, when she failed to take the box from the player next to her. She covered that move with some manic finger clapping and then went completely over the top in cheering for the lifting of the cup (which, of course, was not theirs to lift). Her body language is, apparently, very predictable.

YES. And this is one way in which I have at times agreed with Della (hear me out please). There have been a few of these moments with Meghan, where she is unable to conceal a brief expression of embarrassment/rejection/panic etc. From the very beginning I've seen these glimpses with her, and recognized them for what they are: human emotions, the temporary slipping of a mask worn to conceal underlying insecurities and vulnerabilites.

If I didn't know who Meghan was and someone showed me the scarfing, I would feel bad for her. It's instinctual to feel bad when we see this happen to other people. The problem is I DO know who Meghan is, so I know that she leaked information to the media to make William's wife look bad, that she threw tantrums behind the scenes and then later implied his family is racist in an internationally broadcast TV interview (and as we all know, there's a lot more than that). So actually, the person I sympathize with watching that footage is William, not Meghan.

Don't forget too that William was old enough to remember and to some extent discern the parade of charlatans and users that filled his mother's empty days. There's reporting to suggest he's wary by nature. Remember that story about her and phone and photographs of the Cambridges' home. I've never known whether it was true or not but if it was, that's a major mark against her and you can just generally imagine a scenario where she sidles in with insouciance and over familiarity and strikes the wrong note from the start.

Markle gets skewered here, hard, and triply so when another one of her stunts blows up in her face, I don't think there are many if any people who pounce because the woman breathes. That's absurd. (And for that matter, the racist stuff is just a dodge by people defending the hard to defend, near as I can tell.) Of course cunt is never really a necessary word and I don't like seeing it either.

I had Della on block for a long time because she does seem to want to other herself from the extreme vitriol and comes down on it with grand, over the top pronouncements which to my view assess it worse than it actually is. As I recall Della she originally saw Markle plain but also couldn't help but see or imagine a scrappy American underdog, the Yank gone to Oxford and she'd shake them up. It's past that now, but Della seems to have a residual default in that respect, at least to me. Like I say, I've blocked Della, I've W&W Della and she's agreed with me many times. I just think she misjudges where we are in Markle's journey.

R405, Meghan had a similar expression after the disastrous Prince of Wales anniversary event, when she and Harry pushed their way into the photo op though they were supposed to already be in the main room with the other supporting royals. After the footmen got hold of them and oh so politely booted them out, Meghan's face during the service was all frozen humiliation. She even looked to be blinking back tears.

One could feel sorry for her, if one didn't know that she had no business pushing her way into the photo op. Where she and Harry were supposed to be would have been made clear to her and her husband long before that awkward pantomime.

R420 at first meeting on a given day, Meghan is required to curtsey to the Queen, and to Charles (and Camilla, is she is with him). For the rest of that same day, she does not. At first meeting is deemed sufficient for one day.

For now, the Cambridges and Sussexes are technically on the same footing. The nuances in that, however, are obvious and will become more so after Charles becomes King.

Charles is also Meghan's father-in-law. It is more a mark of two-pronged respect for her. I doubt she would be required to curtsey to her brother in law once he becomes Prince of Wales. Charles' brothers and sisters and their spouses haven't curtsied and bowed to him all these years.

But Meghan will absolutely be unable to get away with curtsying to King William and Queen Catherine.

I usually like what Della posts in the Markle and film awards threads. She gave Meghan more slack than other posters but knows they, MM in particular, really screwed up this opportunity. I'm certainly not a fan of MM who I think is a narcissistic publicity hound, but some of the comments here go beyond witty and pointless bitchery at times. Why drag the kids into it? MM will gave us enough to comment on as long as she is in the public eye. Someone here joked when the Texas school shooting became public knowledge and memorials were set up, that MM would get involved in some way Who could have predicted this ninny would fly private with an entourage to lay flowers and get photo ops.

Louise has until November (her 19th birthday) to decide whether she goes by "HRH The Princess Louise of Wessex" or whether she remains Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor. The parents said they would let her decide herself when she turned 18, and so far there's been no announcement.

My guess is she will stay as she is. If she accepts the princess title, she will be expected to fulfill royal duties for the rest of her life. I also think she's very close to her parents, and they don't want her to use the title.

A new YouGov poll taken 18-19 May shows a further slump in the popularity of the Harkles in Britain. Even in their best skor, the 18-24 group, the numbers are far below 50% approval.

The news that Euge and family are moving to Portugal where Jack has landed a job with a real estate tycoon, together with the news that the Harkles have renewed their lease on that cottage they thought was so beneath them, raises interesting questions.

For one thing, it proves the tabloids were yet again making up bullshit stories about Andrew being furious about the Cambridges eyeing Adelaide Cottage because he wanted it for Euge.

Euge plans to "split their time" between the UK and Portugal. The question is, will they be returning to FC in the UK?

The suggestion has been that the Harkles are indicating with the lease renewal that they plan to make more frequent visits to Britain in future.

Bit why? They're detested here. I wonder if they are legally allowed to film inside FC? It's a Crown Estate property. Any revenue it generates legally belongs to the Crown and is returned to the Sovereign Grant

Or are the Harkles trying to maintain a bolthole as they find out that Megxit isn't going as planned?

Euge and Jack are basically the Harkles' only real friend in the BRF. If the Cambridges really do move to Windsor, the Harkles would be isolated except for the Queen. Given that Harry managed to insult his father again after the IGs, even if Charles is King, he's not going to be living at Windsor.

Of course, tax issues may be an angle, and Harry's case against the Home Office would be doomed if he have up his only UK address.

Or, all of the above, plus the now obvious need for them not to lose a last remaining symbol of their connection to the royal scene.

R495 I do think that's part of it, but honestly I think Harry is (and perhaps Meghan to a smaller degree) going to end up back in the UK (even part-time) in some capacity. As it has been said before, it's becoming very clear that Harry and Meghan's relevancy depends on them having an active connection to the royal family. This is, IMO the only reason Meghan is coming to the Jubilee (the whole security stuff was BS to give them an excuse not to come). If they didn't come it would look like they are subbing the Queen and it would damage their brand more. Despite their massive egos, they must see that they are already cusping towards "yesterday's news" and being just another pair of Hollywood celebrities. I think that will be clearly demonstrated when Kate and William visit the US later this year. It's already been reported that the elite in the US are already lining up to get involved in William's Green Earth Awards. Even in America a photo will active royals carries more weight than one with Harry and Meghan.

If BP is smart, they'd use this and slowly allow H&M to make some official engagements in exchange for BP having a say in the commercial endeavours and paying them off quietly so they can back out of their Netflix and book deals that could cause the royals more potential embarrassment.

R500 I think Harry's image could be rehabilitated in the UK particularly if he divorces, but I don't think Meghan can really. If you look at the polls out today, the only group that still has a positive impression of Harry are 18 to 24 year olds. Meghan however, is unpopular in every group and the 18 to 24 years appear to be even divided on having a positive/positive impression of her. Even if it's not true, she is seen as the person behind all the shit Harry has done over the past two years and I don't see how she can rehabilitate herself from that impression.

All Harry's financial hopes are pinned on publishing a scandalous, ghost-written autobiography which will effectively end everything for him. He's stupid.

by Anonymousreply 502May 31, 2022 9:44 PM

R500 - There's a grain of logic in some of your post, but not much more.

The latest YouGov poll shows a further slump in the Sussex's approval ratings in the UK. The BRF can't be seen to shove them down the throat of a public that detests them - especially as any "official" engagements, quiet or otherwise, will involve support from the UK taxpayer. "Official" means representing the Sovereign. Harry and Meghan are not going to pay their own expenses for the privilege of being let in the door again.

Then, there's the little matter of Harry's upcoming memoir.

The upcoming week is a critical one for the Sussexes if they want to mend fences. If their ferocious rage and her uncontrollable mania for centre state (which hasn't abated any if that terrible visit to Ulvalde is anything to go by) leads to even the slightest use of the Jubilee for their own PR ends, the BRF will simply wash its hands of them, FC lease or not.

If they behave themselves, I'll be more inclined to believe that behind the scenes, discussions are ongoing on what the price of even a private photo op with the Queen and the Sussex kids is, and being allowed to keep the lease on FC, etc., etc.

As it is, Harry managed to piss off the UK public AND the BRF just three weeks ago by insisting that he was protecting the Queen and making sure she had the right people around her.

It doesn't much to me like the Sussexes are in a conciliatory mood from that NBC interview after the IGs.

That they need this is clear. How much ball they're willing to play to get it remains to be seen.

Harry cannot function as a Counsellor of State unless he is resident in the UK at least 180 days out of the year. As he clearly hasn't, and has not only lived elsewhere for the last two years but openly trashed the institution and its next two direct heirs, the idea of him being acceptable as one is farcical.

I suspect the Queen is waiting until the Jubly is over to make a series of announcements, one of which is who is taking over as CG of the Royal Marines, another of which is the CoS issue.

I would guess another piece in play is that if Harry wants his kids to have HRHs when she dies, they'd better watch their step.

As far as FC goes, for the poster above, it's a Grade II listed building on the beautiful Frogmore Estate, a half mile from Windsor Castle. I really doubt two mid-level lawyers would be in it, let alone with pieces from one of the world's most renowned personal art collections on the wall. It's a testament to how coarse the Sussexes are that they couldn't appreciate something like that.

But the other issue for FC is that Harry has a case pending before the High Court in England to restore his security status based on his brief's statement that "Britain will always be the Duke's home" and his "immediacy in the line of succession".

That case would die in moments if he let go his only address in England. So, for a variety of reasons, he has to keep his foot in the door with FC.

And, yes, it's possible that their failure to make of Megixt what they thought they could, they suddenly realise they need to keep that door open.

But if Harry's memoir is to be a success, it will need to be dirty. And if it is, the BRF will retaliate. If it isn't, it won't sell.

My guess is, that's what caused the publication date to be put back. They're waiting to see what happens over Jubilee Week, what, if anything, comes out of those behind the scenes discussions that might make a rewrite of the memoir, er, shall we say, "prudent".

Or not.

by Anonymousreply 503May 31, 2022 9:50 PM

And remember it wasn't dirty enough in the first pass... the publisher said to be unimpressed.

I wonder at the discussions between the two of them in private. Did he put his foot down about going back for next week and she said yes to keep the peace? Is he feeling purposeless and starting to pine for parts of the old life, absence making the heart grow fonder and ego smarting at spending thirty odd years being bowed to and the last three in board shorts? Is she wondering how to stay where she wants and keep him in order and keep on with her scheme for world domination? Or are they both outright scheming and this is some kind of power play, returning for the Jubilee? Their egos will be smarting if they couldn't behave during a walk by of Prince Charles' Prince of Wales regalia. This week is going to be heavy protocol and heavy emphasis on line of succession. And he's more in line at McDonalds at this point. I wonder what their angle is. I have complete confidence they'll fuck it up no matter what but I'm not sure where they're coming from.

Ouch.

"The popularity of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is at an all-time low, according to two polls released as they prepare to return to the UK for this weekend’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The Duke of Sussex now holds a net score of -26 among the British public, according to YouGov, compared to -25 from the previous survey in March. Just one in three, 32 per cent, see him in a positive light compared to more than half, 58 per cent, who think of him negatively.

Likewise, his wife’s net favourability also dropped, from -39 to -42 in the latest survey. Only 23 per cent of the public hold a positive outlook on the Duchess while two in three (63 per cent) have a negative view.

JL Partners also asked the 2,010 over-18s it surveyed between May 20-23 to sum up different members of the Royal family “in a word”. The most popular descriptions levelled at the Duke included “idiot”, “stupid”, “spoilt” and “ginger”.

The Duchess attracted the words “manipulative”, “American” and “actress”.

Only the Duke of York proved more unpopular than the Sussexes in both polls, with a five per cent approval rating, according to JL Partners.

The YouGov survey gave him an approval rating of -80."

Yes, the lease on FC was up on 31 March. This is old news, bu then the BRF knew Euge was moving to Portugal, and Harry still has to keep a foothold in Britain.

For the record, and I'm not R520, for me the first red flag was antagonising the UK press a year before the engagement. It was extremely foolish on her part.

The second red flag was the Vanity Fair cover article in which Meghan virtually confirmed the engagement before the Palace did. It was already clear that she was in it for the celebrity, didn't give a fuck about showing that she understood the need for discretion in a future role as a British royal, and that a magazine cover her own career would never have gotten her was more important than showing Britain and its monarchy that she was suited to the life.

Then came the engagement photos that looked like perfume ads, the totally inappropriate engagement gown costing $75,000, and the engagement interview in which Harry's subdued face and her steamroller persona clinched the image being unfolded.

I forgot the ghastly outfit she wore at the brief engagement photocall, and the truly underwhelming, poorly fitted wedding gown, with its totally inappropriate long face veil.

Even the Queen couldn't quite keep up the Happy Families Face.

For me, it was the engagement interview. MM was performative and phony throughout. Is he nice? And feigning to know of him sealed the deal. Malignant narcs have a tell in the eyes that surfaces intermittently . I felt the manipulation in that interview.

by Anonymousreply 522June 1, 2022 10:59 AM

[quote] for me the first red flag was antagonising the UK press a year before the engagement. It was extremely foolish on her part

I disagree. It was extremely clever on her part. Before that announcement, hardly anybody knew who this bitch was. This changed pronto with announcing publicly that she's Harry's gf.

by Anonymousreply 523June 1, 2022 11:09 AM

I may add, that announcement made her realise she can achieve literally ANYTHING by simply crying "RACISM!!!"

by Anonymousreply 524June 1, 2022 11:12 AM

I always thought it was odd this unheard of American actress somehow spent enough time in London to snag a prince... but it only seemed odd. Through a prejudice about American suitability to joining the royal family, to the speed of the romance, I had my doubts. It felt rushed and very very publicized. The race thing never bothered me. It's the 2020s. I always thought she was pretty.

The Vanity Fair cover seemed fatal to me. I thought that would end it. It didn't. That moved me to skeptical. The exclusion of the ghastly Markle side from the wedding and the packing of celebrities at the wedding seemed... unseemly or, to use the modern word, inauthentic (though I suppose it actually was entirely, in retrosepct.) If the relations were that bad, do a quiet, private family wedding. Like Harry would have cared? But no, the big show...

I thought she was trying in the early days after the marriage. But then it was the drip drip drip of bad, self-promoting calls. The baby scene stealing at Eugenie's wedding. The endless bump cradling with that simpering smile on her face. That baby shower stunt. The constant PR leaks about lifestyle and mission: floating yoga floors, blah blah blah.

The US press, which was so laudatory of the Oprah interview, has barely covered their subsequent failures and disgraces.

by Anonymousreply 526June 1, 2022 11:14 AM

The first red flag for me was the fact that all of a sudden this nobody, who we were just discovering was in a relationship with Harry was being called a "Hollywood Star!!" After that it was the sudden onslaught of leaks in non-traditional outlets, the Vanity Fair cover story, the "Tee-hee! I'm so bashful!" sticking her tongue out, acting as if she was a young naive girl of 18, and pretending she didn't know who Harry was statements. Then when her insane family started popping out of every gutter, it sealed it. To be fair, if my family where like the Markle bunch, I would have ghosted them too.

R526 - Depends which press you see. Outlets like NEWSWEEK are actually doing pieces on shit she does like the polo and Uvalde debacles.

But don't look for even-handed coverage from outlets like the NY TIMES, because, you know, well . . . reasons.

Netflix won't get shit out of the Jubilee.

Harry, fucking moron that he is, by suing the Home Office for the kind of 24/7 armed protection he thinks he and his family merit as occasional visitors, as opposed to all the time like his Senior Working Royal Direct Heirs Papa And Big Bro, will be virtually a prisoner in From Cottage. If he hadn't sued, he and Meghan could have used the Jubilee to drum up photo ops for themselves outside the BRF.

But if they try that without that case being resolved, and in Harry's favour, he can't wander about because the High Court will know he's been full of shit all along (which they probably know, anyway).

So, according to the experts, the only times during this visit that Harry will have that kind of protection is when they're at official Jubilee events where the top tier royals will necessitate that kind of security, or when he's at home in FC at Windsor, where that security already exists because the Queen lives there now.

So Harry has got him and Meghan penned into FC except for a few events where they can get a faint repolishing of their royal auras.

My guess is they'll leave by Sunday night, having shown up at the Trooping the Colour, St Paul's, maybe the Jubilee party, and gotten there Lilibet & Lilibet Birthday Meeting photo op with HM.

It appears that Harry and Meghan did fly in a private jet. The original story was that they flew commercial, but they didn't. They flew in a private jet and the Queen's car picked them up and drove them to Windsor.

by Anonymousreply 536June 2, 2022 10:42 AM

Who could blame them? They had to enter British airspace, which is SO dangerous, just like Britain itself. I bet there's a photographer with a camera just waiting to injure them with a picture.

It's actually very selfless of them to grace the poor British with their presence under such threatening circumstances, but they needed to come to make sure the Queen is listening to the right people.

The children will be dealing with jet lag, a major time difference and having people thrust upon them who are virtual strangers that they are supposed to hug, kiss and interact with. Too high expectation for any child and their behavior likely will not be the best due to the strange circumstances and upheaval in their schedule. Narc moms do not react well to their children behaving less than perfect.... I expect Halfwit Harry will be looking tense.

That's a fair observations, R538. Those kids won't be used to anything they'll be exposed to this weekend. The little one will probably roll... she's too young to process it, but might be hard for the little boy.

Yes, the kids are going to suffer, especially little Archie. He should have his regular caretaker with him, for a sense of security and consistency. He would be a bit off-kilter after flying 12 hours and being surrounded by hyper, tense adults in an unfamiliar place.

by Anonymousreply 541June 2, 2022 1:20 PM

Archie is 3 yrs old, that's when kids are very curious, but also easily intimidated by unfamiliar surroundings and circumstances. I feel sorry for the boy.

The baby girl with the ridiculous name will probably sleep half of the time due to being overwhelmed when awake.

R547 I agree I loved Kate's dress but the hat was meh, in fact all the fashion today was kind of meh. The Queen looked so tiny in her outfit. As she less mobile now, she's likely losing muscle. Meghan's hat, based on the picture we have, looks like she was blown away in the wind. It would have been better without the huge bow.

I'm just glad she wasn't fronting one of those enormous fake flowers she seems to love so much. I liked the hat. It reminded me of Diana hat... can't find a pic that's terribly close. It felt eighties and retro to me.

Yes R550! That's exactly what she does.

I think it proves how utterly stupid she is. I guess, in her mind, she thinks, "If I copy Diana, everybody will love ME, just as much as they loved her!!"

What is that - the thinking of a 10 year old? a 6 year old?

Extreme narcissists get stuck somewhere in childhood. I think it takes empathy to learn - and they're just stuck because they can't take in information in an adult way. Think the Donald.

If I were H and M, I would get on a plane today and get home. The hostility is too great. Will they get booed if they go to the Derby? It's too much. They need to retreat. You can see anger bubbling up from Harry.

They need to sell their expensive home and decamp to maybe a $5 million mansion instead of $15 million. They don't have the money to maintain such an estate. Is Harry going to start mowing the lawns and gardening? Might be a good hobby for him.

R580 - Only at first glance. Look more closely and you'll see the bust was too tight and a rogue bra nipple showed through, the back stretched a bit too tightly, so the inverted pleat thus wouldn't fall properly.

I think there is a button under that collar so that it can be stood up, like a Mao collar. I really doubt she was micced. I mean, for what, chit-chat with Euge and the hymns? Netflix can get that on YouTube like the rest of us.
