Meghan Markle is 'Encouraging' Prince Harry to 'Move On' and leave Royal 'Past Behind'

If Meghan had been nice and clever they could have had it all.

I hope Charles removes both and their spawn from succession before he croaks.

Meghan is right.

They need to leave the stinky, rotten UK behind.

There's nothing in that country for either Harry or Meghan, but misery and hate.

Let the UK citizens wallow in it, for all we care.

Megs is going to get her wish for fame.

Her name will replace "Yoko" as the byword for the interloper woman that breaks up the band.

R2,

It’s not up to him. It would require an Act of Parliament, and he will definitely not risk even more revelations.

“Markled” - when a BPD cunt uses every trick in the book to climb a ladder and ruin a man far out of her league

She’s a National Security risk

Meghan will soon be as relevant as Heather Mills.

She’s a National Security risk

I don’t think so. Harry is too thick to be trusted with anything sensitive, so she would not have access to it.

Will they "Leave Behind" his Royal Inheritance?

Ok. So she did her best to alienate Harry from his family as evidenced in the Oprah interview. Now she’s switched tactics and implores Harry to accept it and move on. He’s gonna get whiplash before he figures out that Megs set him up.

[quote] It’s not up to him. It would require an Act of Parliament, and he will definitely not risk even more revelations.

An Act of parliament in concert with the will of the monarch certainly could strip harry of his title as Duke of Sussex, but I don't know that even Parliament can change the order of succession to bypass just one individual. That's not been done since medieval times.

It also seems wholly unnecessary, given that there are four people between Harry and the crown.

Joy! Rapture! What is the thread count up to now on Mr. and Merry. Harry Mountbatten-Windsor of Montecito, CA, USA?

"Move on?" That is great advice to give to a spouse, if that spouse has experienced trauma, pain, and turmoil from relationships with family members, you've then said your piece, and there's little of hope of change.

Okay. He experienced at 12 the traumatic event of his mother's untimely, tragic death. It was horrible. He's now approaching 40. He needs to let it go...move on, as it were.

There was no other turmoil and pain, apart from being the second born son in a hierarchically structured family of enormous wealth and privilege. All his complaints are self-pitying nonsense. He shares a great deal with his Uncle Andrew.

His family opened their arms widely and lovingly to his wife. His family paid for a lavish wedding for them...and it was her second trip down the aisle. Move on from talk of that wedding!

A handful of articles in the gutter press were racist and sexist to her. That was wrong, but the same press was also merciless to his sister-in-law. Get over it...move on!

Oh! His father and sister-in-law wondered aloud what their precious bundle of joy would look like. News Flash, here! it's common to wonder whether the bundle of joy will look like the mother or the father. And if it's the first biracial couple in the family, the question is even more common. It was an innocent comment. Move on!

They and their bundles of joy still retain the trappings and titles of royalty. Perhaps they should move on from them?

Do you think that will happen? I don't.

What does he do for a living? What did he study at university?

“I can’t manipulate it any further, so let’s just move on.”

Then drop the royal titles. It would actually give them, or at least her, some more credibility. But they won't do it. She will never cut the royal strings.

He cheated at his A level Art, and on the strength of that, was accepted at Sandhurst for officer training, which meant that another candidate with the right qualifications lost out on a place. He’s a turnip.

R12, Parliament can probably do whatever it wants. They invited Charles II back because they Cromwell had been too much and they rerouted the line of succession to delete James II’s heirs and further restrict the powers of the crown. They could always come up with some rationization.

You're not supposed to just "move on" from your entire extended family. It's supposed to feel painful and torturous to do so. You are supposed to try work through and salvage those connections with your blood relatives. Unless your entire family are cannabalistic ax-murderers -- or you were sexually abused, or your entire family are malignant narcissists to the degree that they abuse and torment you psychospiritually, or the are literal Nazis -- you are supposed to resolve your differences and grievances, in a rational, mutually caring give and take, in behind closed doors.

The is a book, that was banned in the UK but you can acquire it, called The Housekeeper's Diary, written by a woman who worked at Highrove House during the marriage of Charles and Diana. Ooh boy, it's quite the read. Basically Diana was a raging mood-disordered bitch who favored William over Harry and played the most insidious mental and emotional games with her husband you've ever heard. Wendy, the housekeeper had nothing but good things to say about Charles as a boss and as a father. Was he a bit coddled? Yes. Was he anything less than a devoted, involved and loving father? No. Diana, on the other hand....Jesus. But because she died a martyr, and Charles did eventually seek the loving arms of his old flame Camilla while still married to Harry's relentlessly philandering Mummy, Harry holds her as an innocent white light and his father as a withholding loser.

Harry picked the worst woman to marry. Someone herself so wounded, so disconnected from reality and so entitled and bratty, just like mummy, someone who's instincts are to alienate, divide and destroy family rather than unite and build bridges. Now she wants him to move on, from his entire family, home, destiny, all of it. She's antisocial and heartless.

R19 wow you really sold that. Now I want to read that book.

He should have never married an American, and an actress, no less!

Royalists are tedious. Harry and Meghan are much better off where they are, especially when he and his father and brother are barely on speaking terms.

She’s a suck you bus!

He needs to move on from her. As in: divorce her ass.

Hmmm... Just like Megs cut off her Family.

Homewrecker

If he were to move on and leave his royal past behind, I could see him realizing his full potential by working sales at a car dealership.

He can fly helicopters, can’t he?

R28, that’s disputed. At the very least he hasn’t piloted one since he left the military.

[quote] I don't know that even Parliament can change the order of succession to bypass just one individual.

A law intending to affect only one person or entity doesn’t have to name them. As is done in the U.S., the legislation only had to provide criteria that is so specific it only fits one person or thing.

My my my, Harry seems to be hauling quite the load of junk.

Nice thick head on that hog. Stumpy, but thick.

R28 & R29 Yes, Harry can fly a helicopter as he completed the Apache helicopter commander training on 2014. How good he is, is another question. He was never assigned as an actual pilot, rather he was always assigned as a gunner (responsible for the guns) and seems never to have flown a mission as a pilot, and was never in an Apache solo. A gunner is technically a co-pilot and should be able to take over the controls if the pilot becomes incapacitated. But this has led to speculation that pressure may have be placed upon the Army to "push" Harry through the training.

Another thing that big brother is good at - and Harry's a Loser.

At least Andrew was successful in the military (I think?) Didn't his cohorts say Harry played video games, in the bunker/clubhourse or whatever, most of the time?

The fact that they still use their titles shows how fake they are.

Meghan shunning almost all her own family is the giveaway to how fucked up she is. She needs to keep that to herself.

[quote] Meghan shunning almost all her own family is the giveaway to how fucked up she is.

You mean the way William is shunning his brother?

STFU you dumb cunt!

What "future" do they have?

I don't think soldiers have much of a choice about where they go or what they do, R34. Andrew may have had a more "exciting" war experience but that's hardly a mark against Harry's character. I think Harry is an asshole and an idiot but his military service has nothing to do with that.

But didn't Harry fail to pass the right test to be an actual pilot? or to progress very far in the military, unlike Andrew, or of course, Wunderkind preferred son Wills.

Harry, it’s time to move on to……OnlyFans!!!!

And so it begins

All the British Parliament has to do is say that Harry has chosen a life in the United States and his titles are not recognized there. And what is the purpose of having a title that is not recognized?

And how do the citizens of Suffolk feel about this? Does Harry have any responsibility to them?

Harry misses being catered to and the adoration he received as a working Royal. He needs to face fact that once he married Meghan and chose to leave the UK and the Royal life there would be no going back. His first big mistake was marrying someone he was not absolutely 100% confident could hack living as a working Royal in the UK. Someone who was willing to give up her previous life for life as a Royal. And frankly someone who would be willing to be told what she could do, who she could associate with, and how she should act in public, by higher up members of her new family, and their various employees. In other words, someone other than Meghan Markle. A commoner, much less and American commoner, trying to segue into that kind of life, is extremely hard to find. Life as a Royal means giving up a tremendous amount of personal freedom. Why else has it always been that Royals the world over have usually married other Royals.

Harry's biggest error was marrying an American celebrity. The celebrity ego knows no bounds and if he thought he could change her into a demure Royal he's beyond gullible. It's all or nothing. But it's too late for even that. There's no going back for those two. They burned their bridges and there's likely no way to build them back again. I think the best they can hope for is mending the emotional break with his family and learning to live as other extended family members of the Royal family who do not enjoy all the perks of being working Royals.

Unfortunately Meghan is right. He should stop yearning for what he had because he chose to give it up. Embrace the life they have in the US and live it to the fullest. In other words, GROW UP.

Most likely Jennie Bond is just pulling this whole story out of her ass like most Royal reporters who know nothing. If it's true, it's pretty rich. Meghan's whole strategy was to embroil Harry over and over in his mother's death and all the perceived injustices heaped on her, and subsequently on poor little grieving Harry, by the evil BRF. I'm not saying he had no suffering, but her strategy was to keep dragging him back to those days instead of helping him to move forward: that's how she hooked him. As for dwelling on stuff like William pushing him and breaking the dog's bowl, there are no words.

Then, when they left Britain, instead of encouraging him to set out on a whole new life she pushed all the garbage about what titles they should have and what titles Archie and Mehitabel should have, all of which are completely irrelevant to a new life in America. Similarly all the bitching about how they wouldn't let her get psychiatric treatment (utter BS: if Diana had psychiatrists visit the Palace, why not Meghan?) and the guff about security and Frog Cottage. All of it harking back and back. They have not established any new projects that are to further new good causes since they left, and all their strategies seem to be about making money by trading on their titles, not by achieving anything.

So if she's really telling him now to let go and move on, it probably just means she hasn't managed to get a billionaire to propose to her yet and Harry's harping is now boring her. Or she HAS got a billionaire to propose and she's trying to pull him out of the depression so she can leave without looking like a baddie.

Meghan telling him to grow up would be the last word in irony. She has "supported" him to mine his childhood obsessively, in a way that never occurred to him before he met her.

"Harry, your family ties haven't helped me in my quest to be the most popular, fascinating, famous royal influencer of our time. The Royals are useless to me. Let's cut bait and keep it moving. I'm sure I can think of something else. "

The trust fund is about to come into Harry’s hands. Of course she’s ready to cut and run.

2025 will bring a divorce. I wonder if she’ll go all “Mia Farrow” and change Lilibet’s name?

Dog biscuits and jam, r46!

[quote]I wonder if she’ll go all “Mia Farrow” and change Lilibet’s name?

They will always be Jethro and Elly-May to me.

R37 Without getting too dorky by relaying every single thing I know about those two brothers' journey towards estrangement, let me just say that William shutting out Harry was a final act of self-preservation. It's Meghan's influence on Harry that made the brothers' relationship untenable. She was playing Harry like a fucking fiddle, and still is. Harry's allegiance is to the female pussy. Funny how none of his previous girlfriends caused one wave and then Meghan comes along and everything unravels all over. She killed off her father and her siblings, the entire black side of her family except the tokenized black mom, and has encouraged Harry to abandon his entire family as well. I mainly feel sad for their two kids, who are being deprived of growing up Royal. Summers with the cousins, aunts and uncles at Balmoral. The schools and the opportunities. Never knowing their grandfather, THE KING OF ENGLAND. It's sickening.

[quote] she pushed all the garbage about what titles they should have and what titles Archie and Mehitabel should have

Mehitabel?? That's a new one.

Oh, and I think that R46 summed it up quite succinctly.

r3 Nothing is stopping Meghan forgoing the royal titles. This leak is from her and is deluded hypocritical projection. Meghan is just as bitter and jealous as Harry. They thought they could become billionaires of being half in half out royals and outshine the family and we'll they've flopped.

r47 The Queen Mothers trust fund is a myth. The Queen Mother was broke when she died

^^^^^

WRONG.

[quote] Prince Harry’s great-grandmother, the Queen Mother (aka Queen Elizabeth’s mom, also named Queen Elizabeth) decided to leave a sizable amount of money to her great-grandchildren...which makes sense considering there wasn’t exactly an urgent need to leave it to her daughter QEII seeing as she was the richest person in England at the time.

[quote] Point is, the Queen Mother set up a trust fund for her great-grandkids in 1994, placing £19 million (or about two-thirds of her money) into an account for them. Per the Guardian, Harry and William split around £6 million of this trust at age 21—but it wasn’t exaaaactly an even split. IRL, the “bulk” went to Harry since the Queen Mother wanted to “compensate” him “for not becoming sovereign.”

And this has been reported in NUMEROUS media outlets.

[quote]And this has been reported in NUMEROUS media outlets.

But it was also reported that Queen Elizabeth had to pay several of her mother’s debts.

Honestly, I can't believe she is really pushing for a complete break. She knows deep down that the only thing that makes her anything but a third-rate celebrity who used to be on some damn show is this connection to the BRF. Even a hostile connection is better than some bullshit "moving on." The only thing she cares about is celebrity and there's literally nothing else that makes her a celebrity right now.

r54 The royal family would never enter into public discussion about what the contents of a family members will is so the media can write about it as much as they want without fear of correction- as they well know.

R54, there have been many articles about this, but none of them make sense. The whole point of the RF is that it’s not egalitarian. No one in it, least of all the Queen Mother, would believe that anyone should be “compensated” for not receiving equal privileges.

[quote] Prince Harry Says King Charles’s Bond with Meghan Markle ‘Grew Even Stronger’ After Learning This Special Detail About Her

Before Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made the decision to step down from the royal family and relinquish their senior titles in January 2020, the Duchess of Sussex and her father-in-law, King Charles, were closer than ever. And apparently, their relationship “grew even stronger” after the future monarch learned that the duchess shared a birthday with someone he holds near and dear to his heart.

In an excerpt from Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, the Duke of Sussex candidly talked about how King Charles and Markle have always had a “strong” connection. However, their bond flourished even further when the monarch learned that the Suits alum shared a birthday with his “favorite person,” who was none other than his grandma, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

“Towards the end of summer 2018 we went to Scotland, the Castle of Mey, to spend a few days with Pa," the prince wrote, according to Hello! Magazine. “The bond between Meg and Pa, always strong, grew even stronger during that weekend.”

The Duke of Sussex continued, “One night, over pre-dinner cocktails, Fred Astaire playing in the background, it emerged that Meg shared a birthdate with Pa’s favorite person: Gan-Gan. August 4.”

Shortly after learning this special fact about the duchess, King Charles responded in the best way he knew how: telling sweet stories about himself and Gan-Gan. In the book, Prince Harry added, “‘Amazing,’ Pa said with a smile. At the memory of Gan-Gan, and the link between her and my bride, he suddenly became buoyant, telling stories I’d never heard, essentially performing, showing off for Meg.”

The ridiculous sources on these threads are becoming ever more extravagant. "purewow.com"?

Isn't "purewow" simply retelling a story from Harry's book? There are quotes from "Spare" throughout this Cliffnotes summary.

The headline from today's edition of Purewow:

Another journal of record quoted by the incredibly stupid.

What the hell. They need to quit this whining. If he gets homesick and it gets too hot there in Montecito the royal starlets can Just jump on a plane and go to the old country. .. He can put on a keffiyeh and she a Hijab and pose as Saudi royalty. They will get, your highness and Madammed, curtsies from the waitstaff here and there. They are largely actresses after all. Saudi royals are more than welcome to launder their money in England. Under these disguises they can freely tour the stately homes, have tea and scones as they watch the pony races.

Well it’s no Sheknows.

I AM under 70, thank you R68, and in fact those stories date from 1916.

I just, you know...read. I have even read books from the 1840s!!!

[quote] ...and what titles Archie and Mehitabel should have

Mehitabel?

Anyone?

....

The Queen Mother possibly dying with an overdraft and possibly having established trust funds for her grandchildren and / or great-grandchildren (depends on who is repeating the story) can both be true.

She could have established trust funds decades prior to dying.

R72, of course it’s possible, but why would she do it? The whole royal system seems to be based on the idea that everyone in the family is taken care of by the sovereign, and, in turn, they stay on message.

That’s possibly the reason why she did it, R73, to leave something for those not the first in line.

Plus don’t forget, only estates from one monarch to the next are exempt from inheritance tax in the UK. The Queen Mother wasn’t the monarch - she was just married to one. A “relict” of George VI.

Anyway there seemed to have been plenty left over to share around.

[quote] Meghan Markle Reportedly Has a "Major Condition" for Prince Harry for U.K. Return

Now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are back home in California after a whirlwind Colombia tour, the couple is reportedly re-examining a future visit to the United Kingdom. Amid reports that Harry is homesick for his life across the pond, a royal expert says Meghan has one “major condition” for returning to the U.K. with her kids – and it goes beyond security concerns.

In addition to ensuring that the Sussex family regains taxpayer-funded security–a privilege they lost once they stepped down as working royals–Meghan has also reportedly made it clear she doesn’t plan to stay with her in-laws when she’s visiting. Royal author and expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror, “Meghan has said she’s only prepared to return to England if she and Harry have a place of their own and the security they both feel is essential. Meghan will never return to the UK and stay with her husband‘s relatives.”

The couple previously lived at Frogmore Cottage from 2019 to 2020 and still had ownership of the property until they were evicted from the royal residence last year. Harry reportedly viewed the decision as a “slap in the face,” Quinn told The Mirror at the time.

"Harry was absolutely furious and in tears about being evicted from Frogmore," the royal author previously said. "He felt his father had no right to do it and that it was purely vindictive. Harry couldn't see that choosing to stop being a working royal would inevitably mean being deprived of his royal residence. Harry took it as a cruel rejection."

In addition to searching for a new “permanent home,” Prince Harry has been embroiled in a four-year court battle to reinstate U.K. police security for his family, citing concerns about the safety of his wife and kids. While his request was initially denied, he won the right to appeal the court’s decision in June.

If these conditions are met, Quinn told the publication that there's a possibility that the couple’s two kids could visit the U.K., and potentially–after some mediation–develop a relationship with their British cousins.

"If the couple manage to find a permanent home and sort out the security issue they will certainly want to bring their children to the U.K. but it’s going to take a lot of diplomacy to get to the point where Archie and Lili are able to develop a genuine and warm relationship with their cousins George, Charlotte, and Louis,” Quinn added.

I'm sure that the in-laws will be crushed to learn that Smeggy won't deign to stay with them.

It'll save them having to lock away the good silver.

R78. I do agree that Markle has a major condition.

There's only one thing to do with a narcissist - get away from them, and stay away.

She has some damn nerve.

Well, duh. I guess you would have to find somewhere else to stay and/or reside, if the other party didn't invite you.

“Meghan has said she’s only prepared to return to England if she and Harry have a place of their own and the security they both feel is essential. Meghan will never return to the UK and stay with her husband‘s relatives.”

Her husband's relatives. Wow. She does love to diminish the members of the Royal Family, including QEII herself ("Harry's grandmother") while ensuring everyone in the world refer to herself as Duchess. She really, really is a case study in something.

r44 and r56 nail it.

[quote] “Meghan has said she’s only prepared to return to England if she and Harry have a place of their own and the security they both feel is essential. Meghan will never return to the UK and stay with her husband‘s relatives.”

IF this is true, she's creating a pre-textual condition- paid security- that pretty much guarantees she'll never have to go back to the UK, unless Harry wins that appeal. If he does win the appeal, she'll dig up some other excuse not to go back.

I dislike both Sussexes. But even though, imho, Markle has shown herself to be an unlikable hypocritical phony, I can't fault her for not wanting to stay on any Royal property in the unlikely event she ever goes back there.

I stand by my prediction that if she survives King Charles, and she is still his legal daughter-in-law, in an intact marriage with Harry, she'll have to muster the stuff to attend his funeral.

She knows she has to because her Royal adjacency is the single, fragile spider's web tether that makes her famous and it would purely be in service to that as to why she has to attend; See and Be Seen.

What a debacle. Those two rolled the dice on a bet that they'd establish themselves as a presence and celebrity force to be reckoned with. They've lost that bet.

The harbinger event, and I saw this for what it indicated then, was that first pregnancy NY City Baby Shower attended by Celebrity "A List" Show-Folk Entertainment Trash.

Credible reports stated delicately that that splashy event caused a raised eyebrow from Q E II.

So, to sum it up, the Sussexes didn't make a go of being working Royals and they haven't now reached the level of celebrity-hood Markle wants for them here, and all that even though Harry was born famous.

Mrs. Markle looks houndish in OP's pic. How's that cooking show going, Sparkles?

Eh, they can stay at that Soho place in the Cotswolds, supposedly where they lived (vs at Nott Cott) before Frogmore Cottage was finished.

She doesn't want to give up titles or do anything to stop the cash flows.

She DOES want him to stop whinging & whining -- except and unless -- he can put it in another book and make $$$ from it.

Current The Blast assignment for freelance internet confabulators willing to work without compensation but for "exposure": Write us a new piece about Meghan Markle using a different angle that sounds like it could be legit, but is still just total made up BS since we don't know Meghan, Harry, any other royals, or anyone within a thousand miles of any of them. Just make it sound like we do, but be sure to use lots of qualifiers, such as "reportedly," and feel free to quote existing BS articles in your piece in order to encourage other crap outlets like ours to quote YOUR article in the future.

I think that Meghan needs security against William the Terrible's pure RAGE!

Who is this idiot trying to make William the Terrible happen?

I reckon it's a Sad Sussex Licker. She mad.

I think that the pretend-royal-tours of Nigeria and Colombia were to demonstrate to Charles that they are worthy of being working royals, but on their own terms of course. In other words, we know we've failed in America, and we want to come back to keep ourselves relevant, but no way we're living in Windsor and we demand, since we;re doing tours for you Charles, that you reinstate our security in full.

Of course this has failed spectacularly with thread-bare crowds at tour stops, and less than desirable media interest as succumbed to their own massively outsized sense of their own importance.

Hope Charles tells them to go to hell..

Meghan supposedly is fluent in Spanish, yet when in Colombia, both she & Harry were wearing an earpiece (contemporaneous translation).

There is zero chance that Charles and William will rewind the nightmare that is the Sussex.

That's because Meghan only speaks 43% Spanish, R95.

¡Hola Paco! ¿Qué tal, Como estas?

[quote] Life as a Royal means giving up a tremendous amount of personal freedom. Why else has it always been that Royals the world over have usually married other Royals.

Not so in Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands and Monaco.

The Royal B list families play looser, it's not always an automatic yes to a marriage proposal ...

R99 As well as Norway, Sweden, Thailand (especially Thailand!), UK (Diana was just an aristocrat), Belgium (Mathilde also an aristocrat) and Luxembourg (ditto).

The whole “royals only marry royals” thing pretty much died out after Queen Elizabeth married Philip of Greece, and technically he was just Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten having earlier disclaimed his Greek Princely titles. He was created HRH Duke of Edinburgh on the wedding day.

Interestingly it’s the non-reigning European royal houses who seem to be stricter about who marries whom - the reigning houses are much more pragmatic, which is why they still reign.

The Queen Mother wasn't a royal either, r101. The royals marry royals thing died out with the abolition of many royal houses in Europe after the First World War.

Wallis Simpson wasn't a royal, but that's another issue.

Thanks R102 - absolutely nobody knew any of that information.

R101 seems to have missed it.

No, the examples that I gave were of marriages of the heir to the throne. The Queen Mother, when Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, didn’t marry the heir to the throne.

If I was to go back another generation I could have given the example of Queen Mary, who wasn’t royal. But so what?

You didn't say heirs, r105, you said royals. One of the main purposes of royals having lots of kids back in the day was so that they could marry their various younger offspring off to other royals, princelings, grafs and nobles and create alliances and strengthen relationships between states in that way. Hence why Queen Victoria and King Christian IX of Denmark were considered the grandmother and grandfather of Europe. This system of multiple princelings all over Europe collapsed after the First World War so there weren't so many royal houses remaining for royals to marry into. That's why the practice ended.

In any case, when Albert and Elizabeth married Edward was still galivanting around, with no expectation that he would marry let alone marry a princess. As indeed he didn't. So, there was a great deal of expectation that Albert's firstborn would end up being the monarch one day.

In fact, it was the youngest son of George V (excluding the ill-fated John) who married a royal, namely George, Duke of Kent, who married Princess Marina of Greece.

Again, thanks for the history lesson. R106. Feeling better now?

Intriguingly, Camilla is the first person from a family that is non-royal, non-princely, and non-aristocratic to marry a direct heir to the throne since Anne Hyde married James, the Duke of York, back in 1660.

[quote]Camilla is the first person from a family that is non-royal, non-princely, and non-aristocratic to marry a direct heir

Camilla’s ancestor was mistress to the King.

Which has what to do with anything, R109?

She comes from a long and stately line of aristocracy-adjacent whores.

Parliament can do what it wants. Move on, kids,

I don't think she understands that they've been moved on whether they like it or not.

Yes, r107, I feel better now for having filled in your historical blind spots.

And, R108, assuming that nothing disastrous happens, the Princess of Wales will be the next after the current Queen.

Yes of course, R114. Looking at the time I assume that you are pottering around your mother’s bedsit in Balham, lips pursed, dusting the figurines and preparing Mummy’s builders’ tea and burnt toast with Marmite for her breakfast. Another day of quiet desperation, typing sad replies to Datalounge posts and feeling what you think is superior to people who don’t know you and certainly wouldn’t want to know you.

Have a fantastic day, R114!

For his second marriage, r108.

James II/VI was direct heir to his brother, just as Albert, Duke of York was direct heir to his brother Edward VIII. James

Absolutely, R117! Whatever works for you! Keep smiling!

I'm in my own house in a leafy suburb of North London, r116, with my wife still snoozing in bed beside me. Later today, I'm flying to Greece.

Sorry to have triggered you. Not everyone is bowled over by your self-proclaimed erudition.

Love the "wit", r118! I notice that you can't dispute or challenge anything I say though.

You are 100% correct, R119!

I’m serious!

I take what you are saying, seriously. I’m absolutely not laughing at you! Nor is anybody else!

Enjoy your lovely day!

Don’t listen to the people who might look at your posting history and call you pitiful!

I believe in you, R120!

The article went on to say, she approaches these new designers and asks for freebies in exchange for publicity. /s

Meghan: 🤡🤡🤡

There is a new puff piece in US Weekly about Megz and it is beyond next level ridiculous. This dude reads the whole article and it's such a good laugh.

R124 = "While you peons are out 'working' or trying to 'learn things,' I'm looking for things to wear. But in a totally organic way, of course."

Scroll, scroll, google, scroll, scroll, scroll

[quote] There is a new puff piece in US Weekly about Megz and it is beyond next level ridiculous. This dude reads the whole article and it's such a good laugh.

The only thing that is "next level ridiculous" are the Meghan haters.

You all really need to get a life.

I love people who spend all day on the internet scouring Facebook and gossip sites telling other people to get a life.

Agree, r122, I'm not going to listen to any sad fuck on DL who tells me I'm pitiful. If saying that to a random person on DL makes you feel you've achieved something, then that's a reflection on you.

Ad hominem remarks are what people who can't use facts to back up whatever misplaced grand statement they're trying to make resort to.

Absolutely R131! Keep smiling!

I always smile when I see your dumb posts, r132.

Couldn’t agree more, R133!

MM = piece of work

Back to dusting mummy’s collection of Lladro figurines, R133!

Flying to Greece, R119? How glamorous! Ryanair or Easyjet?

Girls!

This is a thread for bitching about Meghan, not at each other!

Get back on topic, please?

But it’s so much fun taunting that naff English queen pretending to be a straight married man, R138!

Alright then - back to regular programming.

The campaign begins! a cover story in US magazine (that couldn’t be more evasive and flattering if Meghan had written it herself) and a puff piece in the NYT style section. But the Netflix program might not air until early next year? and her jam launch will coincide with that. But meanwhile she’s “investing” in straw bags from Rwanda which are finished in Italy. So her next identity is lifestyle maven and patron of products/companies that she finds by googling.

Another one bites the dust....another staff member quits. This makes 19.

I saw her shopping at the dollar store. she buys cheap jam and scoops it into her jars Pretending that she made them.

Her desperation to be relevant is as odious as skunk smell.

I would have picked another animal but you know...

Her desperation to be rich and famous despite being repulsive is as odious as a skunk spraying on a pile of wormy cat-crap, and then Markle eating it all and crapping it out, and then feeding it to her future ex-husband who then craps it out, and then her using that as lube and forcing him to fuck her so she can announce another "miscarriage" as soon as Catherine takes a turn for the worse.

Klan Granny at R144 wanted to say monkey.

Fuck racist CUNT!

Oh boo hooooooo

How many days left until Harry gets his trust fund? He might as well just hand it over to Meghan.

no it wasn't monkey

KGT R146 you were the only one who saw a monkey reference that wasn’t there. So who is the “racist CUNT” now?

Hi R146 KGT! You’ve started rather early on your Saturday night meth binge.

Like he has any choice!

[quote]Cameron is mom to daughter Raddix and son Cardinal

I was not aware of her kids' names. "Raddix" is especially bad.

Cameron looks witchlike in the photo at r153.

What do you think would happen if Harry divorced her and moved back to England? Would his family accept him again? Would the public? Or would it make him look worse.

So that Hello article about Cameron Diaz’s birthday at r153 mentions Markle twice but she wasn’t at the party, just that she lives in that town and eats at that restaurant. It’s weird. If I were Diaz, I’d be pissed that Megs was inserted into the story or is a common, accepted thing to do?

[quote]What do you think would happen if Harry divorced her and moved back to England

Sources say he's already "consulting" with people from his old life about how to return to the UK.

Harry: Hello, Auntie Anne? It's Harry...Your nephew...Charles' son. Hello?

Harry: Hello, Nigel? It's Harry Windsor. Do you remember we went to primary school together? Hello?

Article below.

Knowing that the rags pull stuff outta their ass and plop it there, still, it wouldn’t surprise me if Harry has thoughts of wanting a way back to some communication with both Charles and William.

All I SEE is monkeys!!!!

R160 I think there's an element of truth to this story given there are allegedly Whatsapp receipts. That being said, the only way I can see Harry even begin to rehabilitate his image in the UK is to apologize to his family and to the country for branding them racists, but he's far too entitled to think he's done anything wrong. Also what would this mean for Meghan or his children? Would they come with him? Would they have a role? And there's the King and William. The King might be willing to reestablish a personal relationship, but William seems to have the Windsor steel and I can't see him every being allowed to preform official royal duties again. Some people have stated Camilla was rehabilitated but to her credit, she kept her mouth shout and gone on with it and earned the trust of the late Queen and Prince Philip.

"Encouraging Prince Harry to Move On ... . "

Divorce would accomplish that.

Jesus. Not this shit again.

Harry reportedly feels the royals still owe him an apology. William apologizing to Harry is about as likely as most DL users suddenly becoming interested in pussy.

I'm really rooting for the divorce. Then Harry can go home, and shut up. And even if Meghan doesn't shut up, who would bother listening anymore?

She'll claim her father molested her and that Harry was jealous of her star power - yes, there are already headlines saying he's feeling sidelined.

Slightly interesting news, Lady Louise is going to join the army after university. (Her father famously quit during basic training.) She seems to be going the focused route like Zara and not the aimless party circuit like Bea and Eug in their 20s.

Lady Louise has her shit together.

Thank you, R168....

Much more interesting than the news that 3-year-old "has found her voice."

I think Lady Louise is a testament to having a mother from the middle class, not an aristocrat or adjacent.

[quote] the only way I can see Harry even begin to rehabilitate his image in the UK is to apologize to his family and to the country for branding them racists, but he's far too entitled to think he's done anything wrong.

He’d also to confess that he knew that everything negative that Meghan has stated about the royal family was a lie but that he just went along with it because of her hold on him.

Harry will never play any role in British public life, even if his image is "rehabilitated".

The Queen was in the military too.

[quote] Sources Claim Prince Harry is Seeking Advice From Friends on How to Repair His Relationship With His Father

Prince Harry is allegedly planning an attempt to repair his relationship with his father, King Charles, according to insiders claiming to be familiar with the situation.

According to sources who spoke to The Daily Mail, the Duke of Sussex is relying on the consultation of people "from his old life" in an attempt to "rehabilitate" his image and repair his fractured relationship with his father.

In speaking with former aides who worked with Prince Harry during his time as a senior member of the royal family, the publication claims the consultation signifies the "first stage in a strategy to 'rehabilitate 'Harry that would involve him spending more time in the UK to repair his relationship with his father and potentially initiate a partial return to the royal fold."

The sources added that while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning an attempt to repair their fractured relationships with their royal family members, the "pair are not seeking a permanent return" to the United Kingdom.

The report comes in the wake of Prince Harry and his brother Prince William making a surprise joint appearance at this uncle's funeral.

On Wednesday, Aug. 28, the brothers "discreetly" attended Lord Robert Fellowes' service at St. Mary's Church in Snettisham, Norfolk. Previous reports claimed the Duke of Sussex would not attend the funeral in-person, due to ongoing security concerns.

But according to a family friend who spoke to the The Sun, "both princes were there" and sat in the back of the church. The joint appearance marked the first time the brothers were in the same room since their father's coronation.

Reverend Dan Tansey, who was in attendance, told The Sun in an exclusive interview that "it wasn’t a tremendous shock William was there, as that was always a possibility, but I suppose it was more of a surprise that Harry had come."

While the brothers reportedly did not speak to each other and successful avoided one another during the proceedings, additional reports indicate that Princess Kate want to the feud between the two brothers to end.

"It’s something Kate really wants William to try to fix, for everyone’s sakes, but he’s refusing," a source recently told Closer.

"In his view, the best course is to keep quiet and get on with their lives, but Kate is absolutely opposed to that way of thinking," the source continued. "As far as she’s concerned, life’s too short for grudges."

Royal author Christopher Andersen recently told Fox News something similar, telling the media company: "Kate would like nothing better than to have the brothers kiss and make up. It would be one less cloud hanging over the Royal Family's head.

"Kate was close to Harry," Andersen continued. "They had a special bond. They shared the same goofy sense of humor and laughed at the same jokes. Harry often said Kate was the sister he never had."

[quote] The Queen was in the military too.

Yes, but only for a short time.

Edward didn't like it very much.

r175 Sounds like another attempt at getting half in half out rather than geniune repairing of bridges.

Marieclaire, R175? Was there nothing from Sheknows today?

Louise was often reported to be the Queen's favourite grandchild, so perhaps her interest in joining the military might indicate she shares granny's interest in such activities.

At some stage, each of them was reportedly Her Majesty's favourite.

More likely Prince Philip's influence. He taught her carriage driving and were quite close. He bequeathed her his carriage and ponies.

The Harkles waited until Philip was sick before doing Oprah. Had he been well, his smackdown of them would have been awesome to see.

It's been "reported" (i.e. probably made up) that Louise wants to join the military, she hasn't actually taken any steps to join.

Well she’s still in college

Indeed, r184, so unless she's actually stated something about wanting to join the military when she graduates, it's all made up/

This whole claim started from a LinkedIn post on an account that was purportedly hers, but which has since been taken down and there don't appear to be any screenshots of it. She apparently wrote that she's interested in a career in "the military, diplomacy or law", which are quite diverse fields, especially as she's doing an English Literature degree.

A month ago, it was being claimed - on the basis of the usual guesswork/making it up - that she's thinking of doing part of her degree at a university in Australia, supposedly because an implied boyfriend spent some of his school years there and is part Australian!

It's amazing how many publications picked up on it, although most qualified it with "may" (but not the Post or MarieClaire).

It does look like that Felix bloke is likely Louise's boyfriend though, as seen in the link at r185.

I hadn't thought about joining the military, but I do answer to "Captain von Trapp" within the family.

Would I still be able to wear the Vladimir, though? That is the question.

Raddix? Is that the plural of radish?

Oh, no! Even more trouble for American Riviera Orchards. This time it's the brand name.

[QUOTE]On August 31 the Patent Office denied her application, saying that businesses are not allowed to trademark geographic locations, including the nickname of the coastline around the Sussexes' Santa Barbara, California, home: 'the American Riviera'.

It would appear that she has little ability to manage her team effectively, judging by the litany of errors involved in every undertaking she initiates. I can only imagine the blame game that must ensue, causing staff to part ways.

It looks like no one on staff or Meghan read the accompanying instruction documents, the best place to start before filling out byzantine goverment forms. A very basic first step. SMH.

Do patent and trademark lawyers typically file these applications for fledgling businesses or is it something a lay person can do? Clearly she didn't splurge for legal advice.

The launch of ARO was bizarrely rushed. Absolutely nothing was ready, yet they just had to announce it there and then. This is suspicious and there must be a motive for the announcement. The only obvious thing is that this was when the royal family website was updated and Meghan wanted a link to her ARO website placeholder. Or it could just be that the idea came into Meghan's head and she thought that if she launched the concept - even without an actual business or products - then it would all come together for her, with people throwing themselves at her to help her.

Isn't Meghan's title Meghan, Duchess of Sussex as opposed to Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, which is what she uses in her "professional work"? Aside from it being completely laughable that she insists on being referred to by the title of a British royal peeress, even here, with a title that is already incredibly elite and rare, she has to make it more pompous sounding with her incorrect use of The, and with a capital T to boot.

What r193 said.

Maybe Markle hired a business lawyer. But if she did, he or she isn't very good at basic lawyering and one of the basics is issue spotting - "Hmmm. American Riviera Orchard alludes to a commonly known and somewhat used nickname for a geographical area. As such, maybe there is an issue here of whether or not those words can be trademarked."

You know? That kind of thinking.

Well, maybe it's for the best. That name is worse than pretentious. It's just goofy.

I love the pundits who say it sounds like an Assisted Living facility.

Meanwhile, Waity Katie hasn't been seen in almost a year.

Must be nice to enjoy all the perks of royalty, while doing NOTHING all day.

Taxpayer money NOT well spent.

Regarding her one strawberry jam product bearing the American Riviera Orchard label ...

Someone should inform her that strawberries are grown in a field not an orchard.

R198 is an insane psychopath who doesn't understand the concept of cancer treatment and didn't watch the Wimbledon men's final. As a non-Brit he also doesn't realise that British taxpayer money is not spent on the Princess of Wales and, even if it were, we'd prefer her to get better before returning to a full agenda of public appearances.

He's also a moron with the inane "waity Kaity" playground shithead nonsense.

R200 She's a lunatic woman from LSA.

Right on cue R202! Hi KGT!

A bit early in the week for your meth binge isn’t it? Or have you not come down from the weekend yet?

Post r202 is completely incoherent even by KGT's delirious standards.

KGT is the nurse there yet with your Thorazine?

Lobotomy prep required for r202!

Maybe she did hire a lawyer - one who hates her. It must be difficult for any professional of high calibre approached by the Harkles to take them seriously.

All those instagrift posts were for nothing! Too delicious!

Everything seems such a mess with these two, they stumble from one thing to the next and yet nothing seems to actually happen for them.

Whilst this is top comedy entertainment for us I wonder what they think about it all, surely they must realise that they are seen as a pair of grifting clowns. At this stage why would anybody want to work for them given their history.

R209, they will be blaming William and Camilla for this. Or somebody else. They'll never look to their own behaviour.

Where is Ibble Dibble? The other youtubers don't compare.

ARO was supposedly modeled on the Flamingo Road brand, ultra expensive, limited edition stuff. Well the latter now has a collaboration with JW Marriott hotels with a signature scent and a pop up shop in some of the hotels to flog their products.

If only Meghan had this kind of vision.

R212, Rumor has it that before ARO, MM tried to do a partnership or collaboration with Flamingo Road. Enough exploratory meetings occurred where she was able to see their business plans, etc. Ultimately FR did not want to partner with her because she's a liability. She likely took quite a few of their ideas and is now trying to unsuccessfully implement/copy.

I mentioned in some other thread that a friend of a friend interviewed once for MM for a senior business role and the friend of friend (who is an actual, legitimate non-celebrity business executive) walked away because MM's strategy is that people will buy her stuff just because it's her (MM). She has no actual business plan. When I read about her inability to get a CEO, it all sounds like what I heard from my friend about her friend's interview.

Finally, do you all remember a few months ago when MM was pictured at some kind of investment seminar? I can't remember when or where exactly but it was a few months ago. Anyway, we're now seeing her "investing" in brands (Cesta Collective, for example) trying to be some big investor. She has no idea what she is doing. Keep going Meghan! It's all very entertaining.

I flatly predict she'll go back to acting for a paycheck and there's not one damn thing wrong with that.

She should go meta. Maybe a talented sit-com writer could develop a "fictional" character for her that is actually based upon her real-life events. The model is "Curb Your Enthusiasm" but specific to her.

For once, she would be in on the joke, and so would everybody else. That's a crazy idea, but, crazy can be a hit.

But she lacks one thing to make that a real go. Nope. I wasn't going to say talent. Don't we all know by now that actual talent is incidental to what is perceived as success in show business?

Markle lacks a sense of humor, both of the self-deprecating kind, and seemingly, any other kind.

So, when she goes back to acting, she'll insist on being the earnest, sincere heroine.

Big mistake. Embrace villainy, Meghan.

I'd even watch that.

I think the investment seminar was just last month, lol.

Flamingo Road does this clever thing, mixing celebrity with product by putting beehives in a celebrity’s garden and then selling their astronomically-priced honey as a limited edition. Absolutely brilliant. But Meghan decided to do jam. It takes a lot of berries to make jam and those berries have to be grown in large fields, not a backyard garden patch in Montecito. So she has to buy berries like everyone else, only her name makes it “special”.

I think Meghan gatecrashed that investment summit.

The company is Flamingo Estate, not Flamingo Road.

Arrgh, you’re right r217. Mea culpa.

Yes, thanks R217, Mea culpa here too. R213.

Forgiveness all around!

She looked even worse than usual at that recent junket where Goop, et al ignored her.

Her clothes were spectacularly bad.

What I INTENDED to post was "...and then worked at leaving the 'Royal' part behind." Something like that.

IOW, why PRINCE Harry and not simply some wealthy Harry?

Harry was her dumbest prospect, r224. Even Ashley Cole and some UK reality stars weren't interested in her.

I believe Cashley is immune to her charms.

[quote] It would appear that she has little ability to manage her team effectively, judging by the litany of errors involved in every undertaking she initiates.

Unlike people who follow their passion and dream and hope to make money at it, Meghan decides to do things only to make money and doesn’t care at all about the actual business.

Supposedly she berated Palace staff for their incompetence. That tallies with my experience. I had a few bosses who were difficult because they were so good at their jobs that they expected only the best. Most difficult bosses, however, are total incompetents who have no idea what they are doing.

Apologies if already posted.

A lot of people are, r226.

At least when Archie and Lilibet change their names so as not to be associated with their parents, they will also be able to adopt sensible first names.

Honestly, I wouldn't even name my cats Archie or Lilibet. So freakin' juvenile. What were they thinking? Were they thinking clearly, or just filled with bitter rage and retribution and as such chose the most disrespectful names they could muster?

The problem started with calling Harry Harry and not Henry.

Archie was apparently little George's nickname. So even choosing her children's names, she shows her jealousy, pettiness, and sadism. (same with Lilibet that apparently the queen was furious about - or maybe because Harry put words in her mouth when he said she okayed the choice.)

These two are such ghastly people.

Russell Brand is available for a price.

IMO, "Harrison" was first chosen as the middle name, to refer to Harry. But then what name could refer to the child's mother?

Meghan's first name is Rachel, which contains the letter "A," "R," "C," "H," and "E."

Not a far leap then to "Archie." IOW, nothing to do with Prince George.

"Lilibet" is, of course, an acknowledged homage to QE2.

Putting George's nickname aside, that's what it is - a nickname. It's tacky to choose Archie as his official name when it's short for Archibald. Imagine the other royals being officially named Mickey, Debbie, Jackie. She just ruins everything she touches because she's a phony, a fake person.

This is why I think calling Harry by his nickname instead of his real name of Henry is part of the problem: it made him seem to everyone and perhaps feel himself that he was not meant to be taken as seriously as his older sibling. It made him seem like the little kid of the family who was meant to be the "fun" one. It also took him out of the royal tradition, Henry being the name of several kings and princes, including the Queen's uncle. Now he's gone and done even worse with his own kids.

Back in the 80s when Harry was born and started to be called Harry instead of Henry, the name Harry had a diminutive cuteness to it and was a quaint old-style name, like Arthur or Mabel are today. It was only when JK Rowling named her famous character Harry that the name became more standard.

As you might recall, back in January of this year, Prince George, the eldest child of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, reportedly met a woman with a dog. What might have been a story only interesting to that woman (and a small source of annoyance for all of her acquaintances [“Have I told you about the time Prince George petted my dog?”]), instead became a matter of international intrigue. According to The Sun, when the woman asked Prince George what his name was, the young man told her:

“I’m called Archie.”

CALL ME ARCHIE

Prince George tells a surprised dog walker that he is actually called Archie

Phil Dampier

Published: 23:00, 26 Jan 2019Updated: 9:53, 27 Jan 2019

PRINCE George has told a stranger that his name is Archie - sparking a mystery over whether it’s a family nickname or his own choice.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s five-year-old son was out with his grandmother Carole Middleton when a dog walker came across him playing with his younger sister Charlotte in a stream near the Middleton family home in Berkshire.

The woman, who did not want to be named, said: “I was asked by a police minder not to take a photo of the children, which I didn’t, but George started stroking my dog. Just to be friendly I engaged in a bit of small talk and I asked George what his name was, even though obviously I knew it.

"To my astonishment he said ‘I’m called Archie’ with a big smile on his face. I don’t know why he calls himself Archie but kids often play with their names and I think it’s lovely.”

[quote]IMO, "Harrison" was first chosen as the middle name, to refer to Harry.

Harrison = Harry's son.

Yes , they are just that ridiculous.

Archie was George's security name, so of course, not having an original thought between them, the Dumbartons said YAAH.

[quote] I love people who spend all day on the internet scouring Facebook and gossip sites telling other people to get a life.

And you somehow exempt yourself from that group? And yet, here you are!

The Sussexes choosing "Archie" was no coincidence.

[quote] Would I still be able to wear the Vladimir, though? That is the question.

[quote]—HRH Princess Charlotte

You'll never get to wear the Vladimir, Charlotte. Not unless you outlive George before he has children. It will only ever be worn by the queen (either regnant or consort).

So I guess my logic wasn't convincing at r236.

"Bring me the axe, Lilibet!"

[quote]The problem started with calling Harry Harry and not Henry.

Every King Henry in British history was called Harry by those close to him. It is an affectionate diminutive like "Jamie" or "Jack". The point is you don't give your child an affectionate diminutive like Archie or Lilibet as its actual name if you want it to be taken seriously in adulthood.

HRH PC is called Lottie within the family, but how big a stink-eye do you think you'll get if YOU use it on her?

The Daily Mail stick the boot into Harry again. Link in next post.

Sorry, the link has suddenly become a paywall link.

Here it is

But, r248, Prince Henry isn't known just by those close to him but the affectionate diminutive Harry but is known as Harry by the whole world and it's his "official" name. When born, it was announced that his name is Henry but he would be known as Harry. That's probably Diana's doing. I suspect his feelings of being the diminutive to William were cultivated more by Diana than anyone else.

R252, that is no excuse for the names Archie and Lilibet, the latter they were supposedly to refer to as Lili.

I'm not excusing the names Archie and Lilibet, r253.

The photos from Colombia in r255's link. They were trying so hard in Colombia to create staged "classic" images, with beaming smiles, but it doesn't seem to have worked. The most glaring example is when they were dancing. They were so obviously trying to recreate a Diana dancing with John Travolta moment. Maybe if they weren't so fake something would actually work out for them.

Nobody can throw shade like DM staff writers:

The Duchess, 43, was one of several 'light-filled' speakers who addressed the crowd at Goodmothers bookstore and gathering space in Summerland, located just miles from where she lives in Montecito.

The star-studded event was attended by actor Marco Leone, astrology and psychology expert Dr Jennifer Freed, and author, teacher and psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson, all of whom highlighted Meghan on their Instagram stories.

So, Queen of the Z-List, R257. What a random thing to do.

Oprah will be riding the Harkle train until at least the post-split interviews...

What split?

The inevitable one, r260. Harry is not a lovable person. Neither is she.

One day, Markle will file for divorce, unless Harry pulls a shocker and beats her to it.

She's waiting for King Charles to die, then she'll file after she sees whatever Harry inherits, be that money, or anything tangible.

I don't know California divorce law, but even if it allows a spouse to keep separate assets, be they financial or otherwise, when received based upon inheritance, she'll want that accounted for in a financial disclosure statement.

What divorce?
