Thanks for bringing that back. I’m getting confused about what happened when, so I tried to put all the Tom Markle articles in order. Boy, this soap opera went on and on.
Like you said, they seemed to be planning a visit after the wedding.
Now, that article came out on May 22nd, AFTER Tom had already talked to the press.
On May 19th Tom talked to TMZ about how much he loved the wedding, how he’d texted Meghan, and how all his relatives should “shut up.” He seemed to be expecting to see the newlyweds soon.
Remember, he had been talking to TMZ throughout the whole wedding. In fact, the whole “heart operation” drama WAS BASED ON HIS CALLS TO TMZ before and after the supposed operation on May 15th and 16th.
At this point he was just talking to TMZ to explain himself. He wasn’t saying anything about Meghan and Harry except that they had texted/spoken the day of the wedding.
On June 5th the DM got pics of him going to the barber looking pretty happy and relaxed.
Then on July 28th, Tom did the “better off dead” interview with the DM, mentioning Diana and explaining that the contact numbers he had for Meghan stopped working.
I’m on the verge of tears by the time we arrive at Espace, since I’m positive we won’t have a decent table. But we do, and relief washes over me in an awesome wave. (American Psycho, 2000)
“Secret” my booty. They’ve leaked that to everyone. At first I thought it was her family making mischief, but the Times account seems semi-official as it quotes aides (that “former aide” sounds like ELF) instead of friends. BP/CH must have laid down the law.
Something weird is going on because why leak the meeting to everyone? It makes more sense to wait until you have a deal and then disclose the reconciliation.
I’m with you. She’s being forced into doing this, it’s not going to go well, and she’s preemptively leaking to position herself as the victim. We’re going to need extra popcorn for this one, guys.
Yet you must not cling to the words of the old sages either; they, too, may not be right. Even if you believe them, you should be alert so that , in the event that something superior comes along, you may follow that.
“People keep talking about and making fun of Kate- and how Kate should be threatened by Meghan- sweeties, Kate will have the last laugh. People were comparing Diana + Fergie- guess who’s still relevant now? Diana. It’s all based on your titles and your reputation- Kate, married to the future King, mother of the future King- has won the lottery- while Meghan, with a 38% approval rate has simply increased the popularity of Kate and the Middletons compared to the train wreck Markle family. Kate= WIN.” – Submitted by Anonymous
And that’s why her “friend” from her past says that MM no longer has the same friends as she did from her previous marriage. I’ve met/interacted with JM a couple of times, and I just don’t get the party girl/drug user vibe from her; so I think MM latched onto her to have some sort of status friend in Toronto. I don’t think JM necessarily behaves like full MM but only like healthy hip socialite MM.. It’s like MM is trying to reinvent herself to be accepted in whatever circle. v 2/2
I’m genuinely curious as to why they don’t allow the press near her. The reporters were catching quotes from her before the wedding and all she was saying was “Hi, I’m Meghan” and “It’s amazing.” Is she now talking politics all the time?
I’m sorry but this looks like Middle School aka prep school graduation especially if private school. My sister had the same when she was enrolled in private school. She had a graduation for prep, secondary and then at the end of uni.
mm’s tassel says 95 so if she was born in 1981, in 1995.she would’ve been 14 years old. And the American schooling system is somewhat the same as in Portugal so at 14/15 you do go from prep to secondary school.
You finish secondary at 18/19 So the one she’s with her mom and dad with the black robe I believe is her secondary school one. Aka the end of her 12th grade.
Seems to me that she used her secondary grad photos and is trying to pass it as Uni grad.
Classic mm.
Yes, it’s an 8th grade/middle school graduation photo. It is not uncommon in the US for these to happen. This has been discussed before.
Kind of hard to fake your age in California where there are open records.
CDAN cracked the merching. Jess gets the clothes for free in exchange for advertising the designers. Jess then gives the clothes/jewels to Meg to wear. Meg gives Charles the full price receipt for “reimbursement.” Then Meg and Jess spilt the money Charles has paid.
This is a really big deal. Much bigger than a protocol breach. Is she paying US and UK taxes on those funds? IF Charles really has spent $2.5M on her since the engagement using fraudulent receipts submitted by Meg, isn’t that embezzlement of some type? Wouldn’t that be financial fraud. Wonder where she learned to do that?
Yep, it has always worked in the past and he’s probably very confused as to why it’s not working any more.
I don’t think he realizes that he had a huge backlog of sympathy thanks to his mom’s fantastic press instinct and that walk he did behind her coffin. Meghan doesn’t have that. Add to that the fact that a lot of people think that she is a cunning opportunist taking advantage of a not-so-smart prince and you have a recipe for disaster.
In many ways his own past works against him because the public knows him as someone who is impulsive, stupid, and has very bad judgement. That was a characterization that they reinforced over and over again to explain drugs, Vegas, and leaving the Army. Now Meghan shows up and, well, it’s only too likely that he messed up again.
Maybe, but I bet he’s still blaming the press and the aides and everybody else but her. He invested big time on her and it’s going to be a while before he accepts that he bought a lemon.
I think there’s a good chance that he realizes between now and October that he fucked up. Harry has his Venus in Virgo in his natal chart (Vedic/sidereal zodiac). That is often an indicator of someone who has a failed marriage based on marrying someone they think they need to marry rather than what they really need. Harry’s father, Prince Charles, is a perfect example of this since he also has Venus in Virgo in his (Vedic/sidereal zodiac) chart.
I don’t think it’s going to be a good month for the Sussexes.
