things get dicey with this Brexit deal you have angry Brits not much in the mood for an American big spender and famewhore. That might make the BRF vulnerable. Megsy gets the heave ho then. Self preservation.

And political
situations like this are exactly why Kate and the rest of the royal family
dress “conservatively.” Because their job is to be a stable influence and not
be flashy or constantly show off wealth.

If the Brexit
situation doesn’t get better, then I think it’ll be a sure bet that there will
be articles critiquing Meg’s couture wardrobe on the tour. Given the possible
political situation, the articles practically write themselves. It’s basically
a no brainer. If it gets bad enough, then perhaps we would see an aide go
shopping for Megs to buy something cheap and local when they’re in Australia. But I doubt Megsy would
want to do that. She’ll probably want to stick to her guns about whatever
Jessica Mulroney has brought over and arranged.

And that leaves an
opening for anyone to explicitly expose whatever is truly going on whether it’s an ex-friend or someone else. It could be that Brexit talks tank even further in mid-to-late October, and then we start reading articles on Megs and/or Harry in November.

So nice of the DM to remind us that once upon a time, Rachel wrote in The Tig that she wants a cookbook and a travel collaboration. I guess Grenfell kitchen is her cookbook and the Aussie tour is her travel collaboration. She should be sure to thank the BRF for helping her make her dreams come true

I have to admit this is pretty impressive. Most people think of the royal life as one of service and sacrifice, but Meghan has made it all about self-actualization.

So maybe Harry put Meghan in charge of KP Twitter bc he thought she was SM savvy or that’s how she sold it to him. . I love how the Italian wedding a few weeks ago totally shitted all over Meghan’s. Dior made 5.2 million in online advertising for that wedding. I think this is what Meghan is aiming for and she sold that bs to Harry. Branding is where the money is It just not working for Meghan bc she’s boring. This is all about money.

Riemann Hypothesis proved?

jkottke:

Mathematician Michael Atiyah claims that he’s solved the Riemann hypothesis, one of the great unsolved problems in math, and will deliver a talk about the proof on Monday.

In it, he pays tribute to the work of two great 20th century mathematicians, John von Neumann and Friedrich Hirzebruch, whose developments he claims laid the foundations for his own proposed proof. “It fell into my lap, I had to pick it up,” he says.

The Riemann hypothesis, which is one of the $1 million Millennium Prize problems, deals with prime numbers. Even though it was suggested back in 1859 and “has been checked for the first 10,000,000,000,000 solutions”, no one has yet come up with a proof.

Here’s an educated guess about a part of Atiyah’s proof.

newyorker:

The summer of 2010 was the hottest ever recorded in the city. By July, heat reflected from the pavement had scorched the leaves of street trees, creating a false, uncolorful fall. In gardens, blossoms dried and withered, and the weeds by highway entrances took on the appearance of twisted wire. As summer progressed, to add a further touch of the apocalyptic, bees returning at the end of the day to hives in Red Hook began to glow an incandescent red. Some local beekeepers found the sight of red bees flying in the sunset strangely beautiful. All of them had noticed that their honey was turning red, too.

Read the full story, “The Maraschino Mogul’s Secret Life,” here. 

I don’t see why people are surprised with Doria’s stay length. She came to UK 2 days before her only daughter’s wedding and departed two days after, why would she stay longer now? They don’t seem to have that strong bond as reported. Methinks their talking points ended after the second night of D’s stay and for the rest of the time it was just awkward because Megsy didn’t even bother to introduce her husband and her mother properly.

Very, very true.

Add me to the group that thinks H&M had some sort of love ritual ceremony in Africa prior to May and probably prior to engagement announcement. Some type of bs “marriage-like” ceremony that she could hang over his head and force/encourage a real marriage ceremony bc he promised…I knew someone who did this, and it worked. But it was a commitment ceremony between the two of them and a guru.

I was looking for THIS article. Its apart of my theory.

Agree w/ last Anon, I’ve been saying the “Mean Girls” are out and there “opinion” is the ONLY “opinion” 🙄 they are just as cray and no different as MM stans (aka bullies) and claim in “the name of the Queen” lol so you’re saying a woman as powerful as she is being taken for a fool by MM?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Please!

talkingtarot:

Exactly. That’s another reason I personally don’t believe the blackmail or coercion theory. The Queen is way too powerful to let someone as small as Meghan, a C some argue B- list, actress to come in and have all that effect on the BRF. She’s in Hollywood, so yes she may have made the right connections to meet him and power regarding that since actors/singers/models can run in the same circles that politicians/royals/high-profile people do if they wish, but to full on bag him and marry him, absolutely NOT. If she really was such a threat they would have nipped that mess in the bud a LONG time ago. They’ve fought bigger battles than Meghan Markle lmao. It’s hypocritical in my opinion to say the Queen has the power and trust the Queen, but say Meghan has the power to blackmail and force her way in as a duchess at the same time. They would have to be on the same level to be able to do that and Meghan is nowhere on the Queen’s level.

It speaks volumes that M wasn’t pictured at Balmoral with the Queen. It’s a private retreat for the Queen and she values her time spent there, therefore if Meghan was invited to spend time there it would actually mean something. When Carole was invited it had to have been because the Queen genuinely sought Carole’s company. The fact that M didn’t even get to attend church service at Balmoral pretty much means the Queen doesn’t care to be bothered with Meghan in less it’s in public.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yep.

keepingupwiththebananadrama:

You know I just realized. While she’s talking about herself, her dress, her big day, everyone else will be talking about the Queen.

Did they set her up for that?

She could’ve easily talked about her first time meeting the queen, or meeting her corgis, or going on an engagement with her. It’s almost like they know she has nothing substantial to offer about someone she’s seen as much as we’ve seen the two of them together in pictures. They were safer including her and letting her do what she does best, talking about herself.

I was on vacation in a Markle free zone so I am just catching up but dam – that dress at Hamilton. She isn’t even trying to hide it. She is done with the royal pretense and going straight for the H Wood celeb shit. And she is giving the RF the finger while she is at it. Revenge of the narc. She is now totally about the merching and her brand. Hope Harry has figured this out cause this is in the end stages.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

It’s a big celeb pivot. She’s even using KP twitter to like celeb tweets. 

I may start turning the blog into #divorcewatch or something like that because I do not even see the point of applying royal standards to this woman or comparing her to Kate or any of the other royals. Meghan is NOT a royal and is not even slightly interested in living up to any standards. 

She half-assed it after the wedding to check off all the royal events and establish her royal “brand,” but that’s it. She’s now gone full celeb, and it’s a bit like following Countess Luanne and her latest boy toy. Yes, Luanne was technically a Countess and very amusing and exciting to follow, but there was nothing even slightly aristocratic about her at all. Meghan is like that. She’s technically a duchess, but it’s just a name. Outside of that she’s just another C-list celeb trying to sell herself as a humanitarian lifestyle maven.

Harry will always be forgiven by the British public. When Meghan leaves, everyone will be like “I told you so, but at least you’re well rid now” lol. They’ll blame it all on Meghan and the BRF machine will be used to attack Meghan, just like they did with Diana and Fergie. Maybe they’ll tread more lightly this time, but Harry will always have the backing of his family and the public. Oh, and MM stans will blame everythinggg on the BRF and Harry.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Very likely.

Harry ring fiddling just gives me general anxiety vibes. Everyone keeps trying to tie it to his marriage good (he misses Meghan) or bad(he wants out of marriage). But I don’t think it has anything to do with his feelings about meg or marriage. I have social anxiety and my therapist recommended twisting my ring as a calming mechanism, like a form of sell hypnosis. He has said he has anxiety. I don’t think harry has received this specific advice, I think he just does it naturally to calm himself.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Maybe, but he’s been wearing it for a while and it’s only become noticeable now. Back in the summer, he was still doing the “paperclip” pose to soothe himself.

What some people and harry seem to keep forgetting is that protocol and tradition isn’t just there to be annoying and stuffy. Basically it goes like this. If you don’t act like a Royal they won’t treat you like a Royal and once they stop treating you like Royal, soon you won’t be one. If you become to much “we’re just like you” then they start to wonder “if your just one of us, why am I paying for all your shit”. 1/2

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Protocol is one of the many subtle way they signal to the public that they are “different”. If harry (and meg) continue to rebuff the protocol they will contribute to the crumbling facade of the Royal Family and it’s eventual demise. 2/2


Exactly! At this point, how is Meghan any different from Priyanka? She has a title and taxpayer funding and that’s it. 

And I think that’s why interest is flagging right now. What makes the royals interesting is precisely the fact that they have to follow all of these rules. It’s clear that Meghan is not subject to anything, so what’s the point.

so Bingo for her first solo outing? I am expecting more fug Canadian stuff. Another empty big handbag like she did in Ireland? She seems to have lost the big designer names. Maybe Club Monaco again. Sarah Flint shoes. And slut strands will make a comeback.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I have a feeling the American brands will be huge during the Australian tour-Carolina Herrera, Ralph, etc.. Jess was in NYFW doing the rounds. Meghan will likely wear whoever was making a big push during that week. Unfortunately, I don’t follow fashion that much and don’t know who that was.

If things really go south with Britain’s economy; Meghan Antoinette better go into hiding. Seriously though, when they release her final spending bill by the end of the year and if Britain happens to be in the middle of a recession by then can you imagine? especially when most Brits are not happy about the $57,000 dollars dress and the 40 million dollar wedding. If her and Harry keep it up they’ll end up getting a movement started. A movement the rest of the BRF won’t be thanking them for.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yep.

RE: Kensington Palace’s Instagram is liking Priyanka Chopra’s post about Meghan’s cookbook. She definitely took it over. There are two Kensington Palace accounts on twitter and they post exactly same things and they have same heading and profile picture. Maybe there are something about instagram too.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Are you saying it’s not the real KP account.

I seem to remember a rumor this past spring that Megs had the password to the Kensington Palace twitter account before the wedding happened.

HI Brat, just to recap. You think the upcoming October tour is when Harry finally realizes this won’t work and they both put up a front till early 2019. January is when the paperwork for their separation starts and by February (10th month of marriage) it’s a done deal. She goes back to the us? Do you think they’ll announce a pregnancy next week?

I wouldn’t say they would necessarily put up a front. But I do think the reality of the situation will fully sink in. Whatever positive vibe Harry enjoys in private will probably be gone. 

10th month of marriage would be March in my book. March 19th would be their 10-month anniversary of marriage.

I don’t think she’s pregnant. She doesn’t look it to me. I don’t see any weight gain, and her boobs look like they haven’t gotten larger. So, I don’t see any reason why they would announce a pregnancy if she’s not pregnant.

Fergie basked in the Diana glow. Times have changed. Meghan is not going to achieve the level of fame (notoriety?) Fergie got. But she’ll grab some endorsements post Harry divorce. For awhile. Once Harry remarries Megsy disappears.

Yup. I concur. Megsy doesn’t have anything really special to hold people’s interest. I don’t think it would even have to take Harry remarrying for her to lose status. I think once he is out and about on a regular basis with a girl in public that she would lose her status and disappear.

image

no solo engagement with PC and limited time with any other RF member especially Kate and Will. They will smile for family events they have to include her in but that is it. Her appearance at Remembrance Day is a sure thing but it will really bother the Brits to see her on that balcony with Kate and Cam. Especially if she merches ( she will she always does). I doubt anymore. Maybe a tiara appearance for the Polish state visit in Jan. No kid.

The fact that she hasn’t been photographed with the Queen speaks volumes. Megsy can have her pr put out article after article saying she’s the Queen’s favorite; however, she hasn’t been pictured with HM The Queen since right after her wedding. (Group appearances don’t count.) 

I wonder if Harry & Megs will go to the Polish state visit. I think it might depend on how their big tour down under goes. Or the state of their relationship knowing those two can’t behave properly anyway.
