Dont know why they think the 14th means a breakup would be announced. Thats just stupid. Thats 2 days before CHOGM forum events start. I think the anon was just stirring the pot honestly. Some anons are spot on w/ their info—like the polo anon. Others just like messing w/ the trio. The announcements of which royals will attend CHOGM events should be on Monday. Im amazed they haven’t announced it yet though

Yeah, I think that anon was just trolling them too.

Perhaps they’re just waiting to see how things go with Kate before they announce? No idea really.

wishing a 96 year old man to die to call off the wedding is disgusting. The trio need to chill the hell out for awhile. Im glad Felix is gone he brings the worst out in his annons. Even the DM are not taking comments at the moment. Meghan is fake crying to Harry that she is scared for her life that the haters and the media are going to come for her. Harry as stupid as he is will believe her and protect her even more. Harry and Meghan are both playing that game.

It’s pretty damn obvious to me that reading comprehension is dead because people keep inferring that I am “wishing” Philip to die. I’m not. I’m just stating what is likely to happen. But clearly, if I point out the obvious–that hip surgery on an almost-97-year-old man–has a risk of death post-surgery, then I am “wishing” for his death. Maybe you should go on to YouTube, search for “hip replacement surgery,” and then watch what happens. It’s not an easy surgery to recover from at any age.

The theory I do not buy is Harry as rebel in cahoots with MM. I have friends who work in mgt with the Palace estates and Harry 1) can’t even hire or fire. 2) lives off an allowance from Papa – his inheritance is in untouchable trust and annuities 3) his staff are paid by his Papa. Yes he has temper tantrums makes demands and they will give in but flat out rebellion? He hasn’t the resources for that nor is he so easily controlled as in MM controls him. So how can one buy a Harry rebellion?

I think you’re forgetting that it’s a real relationship. It’s not that he just picked MM out of the blue to annoy and piss off his family. Harry said that he loved her during the engagement interview. The relationship just isn’t based on a mature or true love like most people would expect for a marriage engagement. Like, AHPF said, “I think it’s pretty twisted and pathetic and based on ego,
attention-seeking, family resentment, and neediness, but I think it’s
real relationship.”

“wow – the tumblr ppl did not create an agreement theory” – looks like JD’s number one lapdog ckblogging has migrated to you since her fellow soldiers are currently out of commission.

I’m getting annoyed at being blamed for whatever happened to two of those three bloggers. I see that I’m getting blamed by them for two of them getting kicked off tumblr because I don’t believe in the “agreement” theory, even though one of them jumped back on.

I have a life beyond tumblr. I know it might be hard for some people to believe, but I don’t go jumping around on other blogs calling people “loons” or referring to people using old nursery rhymes.

Fit for a king: a Prince Harry style makeover

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Holy guac. I CANNOT stop laughing about this. They are picking out a “Mr. Markle” makeover for him. Usually this goes the other way around and it’s the princess getting the makeover. LOL, not this time.

I can’t over stress how brilliant KUWTBD’s “Meghan is the sophisticated royal and Harry the peasant fiancee” summation was. She really nailed it.

Philips thoughts on Diana?

sea-dukes-assistant:

I know this has been sitting in the box 5ever, but I needed some time to do some readin’ and these days organizing my thoughts can take some time.  #BrainTraumaProblems

Basically, Sea Duke had no beef with her initially; if anything he understood her position as he was an “outsider” at first as well.  His frustration lied mostly with Charles, due to Charles’ initial indecisiveness and inaction regarding marriage.   Sir did try to get both of them to work through their issues (writing to Diana and talking with Charles), but obviously not much came from his efforts.  

When things got ugly though, Sea Duke’s opinion of her soured, though not to the extent as it did with Fergie.  He was mad af with Diana manipulating the media like she did and bringing discredit upon the monarchy.  His perspective changed to “If she wants out, she can stay out.”  So, he tried, shit still fell apart, and everything was terrible, and he’d just about had enough of that nonsense.  Kind of a “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” thing.

Sea Duke also was quite tired of her brother’s shit regarding wtf his own grandBAMFlets were to do at her funeral, quite literally telling him to “fuck off” on more than one occasion, because duh, trauma and tbh if anybody gets that it’s Sir.  At that point his primary concern was William and Harry’s overall wellbeing and he gave zero fucks about what Spencer (IDK his first name) wanted.

I agree. I think in the beginning while M and H were dating it was some kind of celebrity PR relationship with all of her courting the press. I think during that time she played her games and he’s an idiot that fell for them and it turned into a real relationship that turned into a real engagement. This whole relationship is built on a foundation of hot air so it will crumble, be it either through a broken engagement or divorce

image

As much as I didn’t agree with the theory, I still read, from time to time, Skippy’s blog. I think it’s very extreme to have it shut down, after all, it’s free speech. I just hope yours isn’t next. We need to see this through to the end!

Yeah, I don’t agree with it being shut down either. Perhaps it’ll end up being temporary. 

I think whomever is jonesing for their blogs to be closed down is probably a MM fan that is angry with what they’re posting. Certainly the way they write about things and what they write about is not my style, but their existence on tumblr isn’t going to wreck the world. 

But then those Meghan fans are going to be disappointed when the wedding doesn’t happen anyway. Getting someone’s tumblr account deleted ain’t going to fix that. 

If mine suddenly gets deleted, then that means I’m going to have to do my stack of dishes. Ugh.

They had many anons who drop so called tips then later on you see those same anons on another blog laughing about what they did.

I suspected as much. I don’t know why they put as much stock into some of their anons as they did. I got the impression that there were plenty of people– particularly recently–that just wrote whatever because they knew it would get published. I suspect that this one was also someone just telling them what they wanted to hear, and that one went along with it.

They opened themselves up to that can of worms though. They based what they were publishing on information that was impossible to verify and from people whose background they didn’t know. 

And then it backfired.

Submission: harry and meghan friday

they were boring and missing those two, before it was funny but not anymore. They do not make the news anymore …. Kate Hudson is pregnant with her third child Conor will go to jail … and the history of burglary is more important ….

These two do not want to get back to questoin…

have a nice week end




I actually forgot that they had an engagement. Oh well…

But it’s almost like you’re giving me headlines from Dlisted.

Have a good weekend!

wow – the tumblr ppl did not create an agreement theory – they got it from two sources one of whom works in pr and heard it through the pr grapevine. The two ppl had been credible with their info prior so they are willing to buy it but still look for info to support it. And they do not see Harry as innocent. Every time I come here I see bashing of those bloggers but they rarely mention other blogs.Why y’all need this? Should be room for other points of view. Otherwise – this is a nice blog

Well, I think we should be clear regarding the point in time when the “agreement” theory came about, it was when Harry & Megs were dating. I’ve actually written about it before in regards to someone before: https://houseofbrat.tumblr.com/post/172140441069/i-can-tell-you-harry-did-have-an-agreement-with

An “agreement” while they were dating, and Megs was touting the relationship left and right in the press is believable; an agreement regarding a royal engagement that uses taxpayer funds to prepare a wedding is not. 

I completely disagree with you on them seeing Harry as innocent. I’ve seen #FreePrinceHarry and other references to Harry being a “victim” of Meghan. Can’t prove it at the minute because two of those blogs are (temporarily?) deleted. 

Yes, they’re entitled to their point of view; however, I’m of the opinion that they have also strung people along to get them to believe that they have access to information regarding this “fake engagement/agreement.” They don’t. 

Which do you think is more believable? 

Option A: The British royal family decided to have Harry become engaged to Meghan so that he could break off the engagement and dump her more publicly because she blackmailed him into marriage.
Option B: Prince Philip at almost 97 years of age dies from post-surgery complications–possibly a pulmonary embolism–in mid-to-late April. Due to the mourning protocol, the wedding is postponed. The wedding is rescheduled for a date in the fall. Megs & Harry’s relationship burns out over the summer, and they break off the engagement and cancel the wedding.

For three years I was lucky to be a private history teacher for Crown Princess Victoria. I was at an event at the Royal Palace, when Victoria came to me and asked if I could teach her about history. She reminded that it was hard for her to read books (due to her dyslexia), but she would listen gladly.

We sat in a small salon at the Palace… I told our story from the beginning, and ended the last year with all the rulers, their childhood, education, marriages and difficulties. Victoria was extremely interested. She made a lot of notes and next time she would ask questions about something she wanted to know more about. The lessons should have lasted an hour, but usually became much longer because we would discuss the present, the media, trips she was doing.

My teaching ended when she came to Paris. There I guided her in Napoleon and Empress Joséphine’s Château de Malmaison, outside of Paris. An hour was set aside for the visit. She stayed for over two… I will never forget how excited she was at this first meeting with her ancestor Empress Joséphine.

You know what is funny about her style. All her fans on the royal forums is getting tired of her so called style lol. When meghan came on the scene it was like wow an American is going to bring a touch of glamour back. Since Kate wasn’t fitting there standard. Now that she’s bride to be her style is lackluster and everyone wondering what happened lol. She never had it to begin with. She better hire a stylist

anonymoushouseplantfan:

She never had it. That’s absolutely right. Everyone swooned over Rachel Zane’s wardrobe and assumed that was going to cross the pond. Hell to the no. The Suits stylist got ghosted just like PJA. 

All we have is Jess Mulroney and her fug Canadian brands. The woman doesn’t even know how to use a tailor. She had travel to freaking LA to get her hair to look decent. There’s a reason why suburban housewives and Midwestern project managers were beating her at the lifestyle blogger game. She does not have it.

Oh my gosh everyone. PJA’s Vitamix-comment (the EXACT brand even) was a serious BURN! Everybody knows about her taking the blender episode with Trevity Trev Trev. PJA’s been ghosted and snubbed (“I don’t even have her phone number any more!” PJA), and this was his toned down little burn. I think that blind a while back about her sending out loads of emails to people saying she’s very busy etc etc etc and then people never heard from her again had it nailed.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yep.

Someone said this on Skippy’s blog today: “14th of April. I cannot give you proof, I can’t tell you any more details and I’ll tell you up front I am masking my IP. I can’t risk my job. But when you talk about an end date. I have to say I had a little giggle when I realised that is also the date of the sinking of the Titanic.” This is interesting because it fits your timeline. You said something will happen around that time.

I don’t expect anything significant on the 14th. I suspect someone is just trolling them, and they’re too dumb with their desperation to believe it.

“Don’t forget there’s a very double-edged sword. People tend to forget when she passed the longest reigning monarch, that was only because her father died so young. So you know for her that’s a very mixed blessing, and you know it’s a record that she would much rather not have been able to pass.”

Gearing up for the 2020 Census – District Dispatch

libraryadvocates:

The decennial count of all U.S. residents is a long tradition: required
by the U.S. Constitution to determine representation in Congress and the
Electoral College, the Census also is key
to the allocation of billions of dollars in federal funding to states
and localities and to the production of widely-used datasets. However,
each decade brings new innovations and challenges. In 2020, the Census
will be conducted primarily online for the first time.

Like past
e-government efforts, this likely will place additional demands on
library staff and technology resources to assist people in participating
in the Census online or via another method of their choosing. It also
presents an opportunity to increase public awareness and use of Census
data.

Meghan Markle’s Work Husband Doesn’t Have Her Number Anymore and Honestly, I’m A Little Sad About It

anonymoushouseplantfan:

LOLOLOLOL, Meghan has already ghosted Patrick Adams.

There you go, sugars who still think Trevor, Ninaki, et. al. are all lying about how Meghan works. It’s now happening in real time. What do you say now? Patrick was an abusive “work husband”? LOLOLOLOL.

BTW, these guys were “the family she never had” back in June of last year.

This was totes Harry the acting on face. You can always tell. Revisit that killers concert he attended he was totally mugging or the invictus in the skybox mugging he was doing. He was off today plant it was forced Harry. Who even cares, but I thinks it’s wearing thin. He should have dated this freak a lot longer. He thought the public was gonna fall for her shit and it’s the opposite. He got that ish wrong.
