I don’t have Beyoncé in my header. Must be someone else you’re thinking of .
This is the full header I like to use usually:
Beyoncé is okay. I think there is a little too much worship of Beyoncé these days. Comments in this thread are pretty close to my opinion, particularly the top two:
Exactly. I’m very confused about the dad thing. He supposedly told her about “checking her own box” and created a Barbie family for her. And he hasn’t been horrible to her in the press, like her siblings have. Sure, he hasn’t been able to control his kids, but I think Sam and Tom Jr are uncontrollable.
A person/celebrity is only marching IF and WHEN she is receiving freebies or money. Now, if an article identify where the purse/clothes/earrings/rings/bracelets/shoes/underwear are from it doesn’t mean that the person that is wearing is receiving something in return! If it was like that:
At the bottom line, we all would be merching for brands that we choose to wear, which we do, for free!
MM did merch until the engagement announcement she could do anything that she did prior in her life. Now, she isn’t doing. If she receives one penny she and Harry will be in trouble. Just like Andrew was a few years ago. (Google)
Now, if Mio is releasing to the press data, maybe he is the on receiving money to do it.
No, I’m not defending MM, but some of you are truly getting things wrong and with too much spare time to waste talking privately about what others think and defamating people on here.
Must suck to not have a life! Hopefully I was able to clarify what merching is.
I imagine they wanted it to look like she’s dying to get to work because she’s so devoted to her “causes,” but it’s coming across as throwing “woke” spaghetti at the walls to see what sticks. Racism one day, environmentalism the next, knife crime, tech education, Commonwealth, feminism, homelessness, youth, lgbtq… They are jack of all trades and masters of none.
Right now, he is thinking solely about himself. Which in one way is the proper thing to do, but in other is clearly unpleasant. Maybe, I’m just opining, he thinks that if people give her a chance they will meet ‘the strong and independent woman’ that he is marrying. Oh well….still isn’t going well and probably will never happen (acceptance from the public) 😘
Speaking of venues. I was wondering about last night’s banquet hall. It was gorgeous and I was wondering why I hand’t seen it before. Apparently it’s the picture gallery and they’d never used it before. I loved it!
Having visited Buckingham Palace during the State Room tour, I imagine that they’ll use the same kind of port-a-potties/honeybuckets that they have available during tourist season for the State Room tour. Large tent, sinks with running water, and regular flush toilets. All in all, not bad and basically just like a regular bathroom.

Ronan Farrow just won the Pulitzer Prize for stories he wrote for The New Yorker, but before uncovering sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein for the magazine, he worked at the State Department as a special adviser in the Obama administration.
In War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence, Farrow writes about his time at the State Department and what he sees as a dangerous whittling away of the agency’s influence through mass firings and efforts to cut its budget.

Yeah! That’s what I cannot wrap my head around! His charts both Western and Vedic show one marriage only, and to someone younger if I recall correctly———so that would mean,,,,,,,,,,,,,,….?????????????
He’s not the real Harry. We’ve been given the wrong birth date. This is the twilight zone
There’s just other things that are going to take place soon.
“We had HRH Prince William here to receive an Honorary Fellowship in January. He managed to let slip that he is now doing a Masters in Pre Hospital Care and said he would be delighted to come back to events related to this long-term interest, and I am delighted to say, also to sample some of our offerings around mental health. He also managed to tease me about my sudden inability to identify a couple of the guests who had travelled far for the occasion.”
It’s sometimes called “Racism by Proxy,” wherein white people (consciously or unconsciously) use the police to enforce their bigotry after they’ve projected their racist imaginations onto black people. Remember how Ronald Richielied and called the police on John Crawford and got him killed for carrying a toy gun – in a Walmart that was in an open carry state?
When a white person threatens to call the police on a black person, there is ALWAYS the added threat of lethal violence befalling the black person. And many times, white people are fully aware of this fact.
Since the days of slave patrols, to Emmett Till, the police have always been a tool of white supremacy. From racial profiling, to stop-and-frisk, to reporting “suspicious” behavior, to forced segregation it’s all the same animal – white people using the state, prompting the police to carry out even the most mundane kinds of racism, like arresting black people for the “crime” being in the wrong place.
“Prince Charles is confirmed as the successor to The Queen as next Head of the Commonwealth.
It has been decided today that The Prince of Wales will take on the honorary position at the same time he eventually becomes King.
Two days earlier The Queen expressed her “sincere wish” for her son to one day succeed her.”
When they were only dating YES she did cash. After the engagement announcement she CAN’T make money/merch. Now, the brands that she appears wearing CAN and DO (just like with Kate and even HM – remember the amount of articles about her purse?) use their pictures for self marketing. Sometimes those brands PAY newspapers/magazines to write pieces about them or to include their name in an article. Which doesn’t mean that MM is receiving money. 😘 #settingthingsstraight

“You know what a fool I feel like – letting all that time go by without realizing how much you mean to me? […] These days, I feel like the luckiest man in the world! We’re a great team, you and I.”
I’m not really …. mature? (I know, I’m chronologically mature, but….) enough to deal with the shit in the royal fandom. I’m trying something: I’m allowing myself either one post or one reblog a day. So for today I have a story for anyone who cares to read it. A “friend” told me. (*Where’s a good *wink* gif when you need it?*)
Anyway, there’s this guy on twitter. AHEM. Person on twitter. Person hates Kate. I don’t use the word hate lightly. I mean, Person hates her like you would not believe. It’s bad. Person has called pretty much every bad thing you can call someone, and said pretty much every vile thing you can say about someone. Like, whatever Kate did to Person, I cannot even fathom that it warrants this level (and longitude) of hate. We’re talking YEARS, this has been going on. Person logs on twitter every single day since before Kate even became a member of the royal family by marriage. So that’s what? Going on seven years now? 365 times seven! Hateful tweets about Kate for 2,555 days!!!! WTF? Productive? Well, yeah, productive of something, but nothing good. One example: Kate wore some bracelet that, I guess, was a gift from Camilla, and it had Kate & Will’s new cypher on it, and Person called Kate a pretentious, social-climbing whore.
Person really likes Meghan Markle. Like omg likes Meghan Markle to the moon. Meghan Markle can do no wrong. Meghan Markle is a “hard working, self-made woman” who is inspirational and fashionable and just perfect in every way. Meghan Markle will probably (according to Person) go on to be patron of more charities and do more for said charities than any royal in the history of, well, ever. She got a dishwashing liquid company to change its word from “women” to “people” for christ’s sake (all because a boy in her class made a joke about women in the kitchen), and if she could do that at age (whatever) what can she do at age 36? She might even get the royal family to change the His/Her in Royal Highness to a non-gender-specific pronoun!! Justin Trudeau will be so proud of her!
I got off on such a tangent I forgot the point of my story, but since I’m limiting myself to one post per day I don’t want to waste it. So yeah, according to Person on Twitter, Kate is a social-climbing whore and Meghan Markle is the savior of humanity. I just have to wonder what Person expects Meghan to do? It is said that Meghan wants to focus on gender equality. Now that we have everyone talking about Harry’s new role in the Commonwealth,and Harry saying that Meghan will join him in this work, it seems that Meghan may want to push for absolute gender equality in all the Commonwealth. That will be a tall order. A fairly sizable portion of the Commonwealth contains countries where a majority of the people belong to a religion that does not regard women as equal to men or as having any of the same rights as men.
One example: Prince William has just met with the President of Kenya. It seemed like a nice meeting. They smiled a lot and looked very happy to meet each other. The President came across as a very nice man. I don’t know anything about him, but did you know that in Kenya, it is illegal to be homosexual? ILLEGAL!!!!!! Meaning: Against the LAW!!! Just to BE homosexual. Forget about marriage rights. We’re talking about the right to EXIST as a human being if you are homosexual. You can even go to prison for it. It’s true. Look it up. It was that way in the UK once upon a time (hello, Oscar Wilde) but that was the 19th century.
I guess my point is, it will be easy for Meghan to talk about gender equality in Great Britain, or the United States, or France, or anywhere in Western Europe, or Canada…. In these places, most people agree that homosexuality should not be criminalized and that men and women deserve the same rights: of freedom, of voting, of life and liberty, etc. But you know, if she’s going to talk to the Prince of Brunei (where homosexuality is punishable by death penalty) and talking about LGBT rights and gender equality….. hmm. It could stir the pot a bit and make a lot of people uncomfortable.
I’m OK with that!!!! I WANT people to get uncomfortable about these things. I WANT change. I WANT progress. I am a liberal!
But I’ve seen this tune before. And I just have to wonder what the Muslims Meghan met at the mosque in London have to say about gender equality. But I know, I know…. It’s not fair to question Muslims about that, because that’s Islamophobia. If a culture is ACTUALLY against gender equality or LGBT rights, you just have to accept it, right? Because if you don’t you’re being racist.
OK I’m done. But before I go, I just want to shout out to the person who sent me a private message. I read your comforting words and I appreciate them so much. I am not sure if you wanted me to publish it, so it is sitting in my inbox for now. If you wanted me to publish it, just drop me another message and let me know either way. And thanks again!

That blazer on the shoulders looks worse in motion than in still photographs.
pt.2 Dude, harry was destined to create havoc! (the way they let him get away with half the stunts he’s pulled) it was always “on the cards”, I DON’T believe in astrology. The crazed fans on tumblr STILL holding out hope. Taking delusional to a new level. They are gonna be crushed, poor souls. (his fans). He’s a natural-born f@&#-up and he’s taking the archaic family down with him. Thanks for letting me have my piece. Later!:)
So far yes! 😉…I mean, they can suffer an accident, a heart attack, kidnapping, the wig cannot fit….the main dress can burn and she would need to recycle the one from today… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
About the public knowing that she cheated Cory with him and that he stayed at her house in Toronto while Cory, the goat, was paying the rent. This won’t go down smoothly with the public. 😘
