They are not getting THAT much, when you think of it. Meghan is just really, really good at hyping what she gets.
She got a mediocre non-heirloom engagement ring, but hyped it up with some “official Di collection” diamonds. She got a few minor events for her pre-engagement engagements (very minor compared to Kate’s very official lifeboat launch and St. Andrew’s events), but hyped them up as a “regional tour.” She got the generic royal wedding, but hyped it up with security cost leaks and celeb friends. She got a short visit to Ireland, but hyped it up with tons of costume changes. She got an extension on Harry’s Invictus trip and a bunch of youth group and Commonwealth canopy visits and is hyping them up. She got one event with HM and hyped it up with the train sleepover.
The only true “gets” are the Commonwealth events and Harry was going to get them anyway. She just hopped on.
She’s not getting *that* much. It’s just that she’s freaking amazing at hyping shit up. The royal reporters are apparently going to skip a full fledged royal visit with one of the most magnetic royals in the world (Maxima), because they would rather go to Australia to take pics of Meghan pretending to laugh as she watches kids play soccer down under.
Personally, I’d much rather watch Kate and Maxima rocking tiaras.
“Excellent,” said Aunt Marge, “I won’t have this namby-pamby, wishy-washy nonsense about not hitting people who deserve it. A good thrashing is what’s needed in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. Have you been beaten often?”
Can I just say. While everyone freaks out over #Prick’s photo at RL show, I’m over here smiling because it seems like Anne and Jessica are trolling the Duke and duchess of Buttsex.
But it’s interesting that we all assumed that Givenchy was leaking Meghan’s (or Eug’s or Cam’s) dress fitting for promo purposes and it didn’t even seem odd or anything. That’s how far the brf has sunk. Something like that would have been unimaginable two years ago.
She called him a liar and a thief too, and claimed her coach wasn’t coaching from the sideline, which was untrue because he admitted to coaching right afterwards.
The WTA is claiming sexism, but the stats don’t back them up. Men are punished at more than twice as often as women. Interestingly, men get more “time delay” violation and women get more “on court coaching” violations.
Tour schedule is out. 16 days and they will only be spending three on Invictus, which takes place from the 20th to the 27th. Looks like they will attend the Opening, one day of events (maaaaybe, if they don’t have anything better to do in Australia), and the Closing. The best part is that they will spend the bulk of Invictus week drawing attention AWAY from the athletes, since all of the media will be covering Meghan’s Down Under fashion show.
LOLOLOLOLOL. Hypocrisy like this doesn’t come around every day. I’m truly amazed at what a tool Harry ended up being.
I used to think that it was because they were waiting to do a big “charity powerhouse” pr drive for Meghan this month, but that does not seem to be the case. I can only assume that it’s because the numbers are pretty low.
An anon thought that maybe they can’t release the numbers because they did individual charities instead of a big fund like Will and Kate, but I don’t think that’s the reason. They can ask the charities if they had a bump in donations between the announcement and the wedding date and publish that. The charities will know exactly what they got and where it came from.
Maybe. They might just file a seperation and get legally divorced later on I think like Charles and Diana did, I forget how it worked.
Pfft. Meghan will agree to grounds for annulment because the royal family’s lawyers will make it a viable option for her to sign the paperwork on it.
Really.
What benefit is there to the royal family in having Megs continue to be around with a title and an HRH? There is no value or benefit to the institution of the monarchy. And after all the trouble she has caused with her leaking to the press and spending exorbitant amounts of money on clothes? That girl leaks like a sieve. Why would they want to keep her around and bankroll her living situation for even longer?
Megs does not and will not have the ability to do a power play against the royal family. She doesn’t have anything to negotiate with; Diana had everything to negotiate with. Charles and Diana were married for more than 10 years, and Charles was–and still is–first in line to the throne. Harry is not. He is never going to become head of the Church of England. Diana was mother to a future king and a popular, INTERNATIONAL, public figure. Considerations that will never apply to Meghan.
In situations of divorce of wealthy and powerful people, you have to have something to negotiate with. Meghan has assured herself–by her own dumbass behavior–that she will have nothing to negotiate with, other than what remaining goodwill Harry has for her.
Ikr. It’s going to suck when Meghan realizes that she will probably come out of this marriage with less money than she came in with.
This isn’t surprising. Megs doesn’t have anything to negotiate with. The only ally within the RF she currently has is Harry. Once he’s not on her side, she has no one within the royal family as an ally.
She’s not going to give birth to a baby. She’s done a good job demonstrating she doesn’t respect the family or its protocols. She’s not popular within the UK. She has nothing for any lawyer to negotiate with considering the royal family holds all the cards in this situation.
Tom Sykes is now claiming that “nobody knows” who Eugenie is in the UK and people are upset that their perfectly normal royal wedding is a “folie de grandeur.” Oh, get real, Tom. Everyone in the UK knows Eugenie. They’ve all seen her grow up, and her fashion fails and vacations have been covered for years. And this is the standard royal wedding that Edward and Mark Phillips got. the brits are used to this crap by now.
I was unsure before, but now I’m certain Sykes is getting his leaks straight from Meghan. I can’t think of anyone else who would pick “no one knows who she is” as the main problem here.
Yep, the reason the rules exist and are enforced is so you don’t have a brattish player ruining the game for everyone, which is exactly what happened here. I’m seriously side-eyeing Serena’s “women’s rights” comments because the person who had her big victory ruined and her record possibly tarnished was another POC woman, Naomi Osaka.
I find it (sadly) ironic that this whole debacle went down at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Arthur was the epitome of class on the court. You never saw Arthur engaging in McEnroe-like antics on the court such as breaking a racquet during a match because he was mad.
Sheesh, I know. You gave the people a li’l bit o’ FD and they went all apeshit. Don’t know what is up with that tbh. It’s like, if it doesn’t correspond to some Disney storyline they’ve got of her walking in the forest and singing with random animals – the mob’s not gonna be happy. (O.o)
Girl… The legal dealings… phew! Dra-maaa. Oh we are twinning on that. I’m definitely getting that it has to do with his marriage with Meg or just Meg. Weird though, I did the reading 3 times, and twice I got The Emperor ontop of Justice. I’m reading that as an authority making the descision (be it legal authority = judge/courts or Monarchy type of authority). ?
Separate clarification spread (with a 2nd deck) on Justice gave:
So I got 4oW (home, marriage), 2oSw (blockage, a difficult choice, mind over heart), The Lovers Rx (disharmony, the end of/breaking of a contract = marriage), K & QoSw (people in the legal business = lawyers), The Devil (bondage, dependency, being chained to something/one … hehe, well, look at the other cards – it’s hardly any of the other sexy meanings of the card, it’s the bondage/contract part), 3oSw (pain, something that hurts, heartache, grief), 8oSw (yep, I got that too – bound, stuck, feeling imprisoned/trapped, perhaps a good measure of self-victimisation/pity, not seeing a way ahead), 5oC (loss, grief, self-pity bc there was 8oSw before…).
I asked for a summary of the situation, “what is it about?” – and what do you think?!? >>> a-gain! 10oSw, Tower, Justice, Death (I mean…… like wth? Girl, that horse be deader than dead.)
I’m going out on a limb and saying something’s initiated to end the marriage. I tried to find out what it was about several timed, but seriously that energy up there was mainly just repeating itself. The couple of additional things that did pop up were 5oP, 5oSw, QoW and 6oP, KoP, 6oSw. So… possibly a legal fight over divorce money/assets in order to move on?
(anon submission)
– Interesting. My reading showed them being legally bound together too but emotionally separated so I agree it’s probably most likely fighting over money and assets and stuff. When I asked the cards if Meghan was still a duchess in Jan. I got KOP, and I think 5 of Wan. was after it so yes it’s probably legal stuff regarding that since those cards to me show her having the title but soon getting it taken or something around that. That’s the only thing I can think of as of right now. The Emperor is also one of Meghan’s birth cards so the legal thing might definitely has something to do with Meghan more so too I think.
Thank you for submitting. Please come back anytime, @hrhroyaltarot said that you and her got the similar cards regarding the FD sitution so we would love for you to come back and give a another opinion whenever you’d like. We love other opinions since we are the only two readers really on here that do royal family readings and stuff. Thanks for the submission. -TT
Not only that. Serena is now the female John McEnroe because women should have the right to be epic brats, just like men. I think this is worse than just a loss.
The baby rumors are now swirling. Can’t wait for the Celebitchy article about how Carole helping with George was psychotic neediness on the part of Kate, but Meghan bringing Doria over is perfectly understandable because reasons.
NIKOLAJ
COSTER-WALDAU on Dany in 2013 (!): “There’s also something about that type of power
that Daenerys has. Most people believe she’s doing the right thing, but she’s
burning people alive. She’s got a chip on her shoulder. I don’t want her to
come across the Narrow Sea. She’s going
to burn thousands and thousands and thousands of people and have that
self-righteous smirk on her face the whole time.” (Source)
In 2017: “How
do you think they’re going to react when [Jon] finds out that he’s actually the
rightful heir to the Iron Throne? I mean, he’s now a threat to [Daenerys]. He’s
first in line now. The whole thing she built her life on is now a lie. She
doesn’t seem that stable to me, that girl.” (Source)
And in 2018 on the ending
of Game of Thrones: “I … know that we end the right way and the show ends on
its own terms. When I read the scripts for the last season I was like ‘Wow,
they really pulled it off.’ It’s one story from season one to nine [meaning
season 8] and it makes sense.“ (Source)
Bonus:
Emilia Clarke in her Vanity Fair interview of this year: “[Daenerys is] doing
all this weird shit. You’ll know what I mean when you see it.” + [on her
character’s final on-screen moments]: “It fucked me up. Knowing that is going
to be a lasting flavor in someone’s mouth of what Daenerys is …” (Source)
To sum it up: Nikolaj is satisfied with the ending of GoT which means 1. Dany is not on the throne and likely his character assessment of her has been right all along and 2. he was right when he doubted that the parentage reveal was going to go over well with Dany.
I fear for the people who still think that Dany/Jon is going to be a happy ever-after. Nikolaj has seen Dark!Dany
coming for a long time AND he’s satisfied with the ending. That should give the
fans who still think she’s a heroine some pause. And the line about the “weird
shit” Dany is doing according to Emilia? That sounds really ominous to me…
Yep, the reason the rules exist and are enforced is so you don’t have a brattish player ruining the game for everyone, which is exactly what happened here. I’m seriously side-eyeing Serena’s “women’s rights” comments because the person who had her big victory ruined and her record possibly tarnished was another POC woman, Naomi Osaka.
