“The double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world. Is still benefitting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. But it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You know, just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think you’re on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesn’t make us feel good. You’re selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with ageing, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. You’re selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. You’re like recycling hatred. I find that really dangerous and I think it’s unacceptable and I don’t care if you’re a woman. I think constructive criticism is needed for anyone to ever evolve. For our gender to evolve we need some sort of constructive criticism. As long as we do it in a somewhat careful way. (…) So many of the worst things in the world have happened motivated by greed. And I just don’t think that’s an acceptable excuse anymore. How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… why are they still promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops to young girls? And it’s not a fight against obesity. They have young, already slim girls, in their adverts for Flat Tummy company, this company that are absolutely everywhere, and they’re even being advertised in some of the most mainstream magazines, women’s magazines, and they have a billboard in Times Square. The money is built on the blood and tears of young women who believe in them, who follow them, who look up to them like the big sister they never had. It’s so upsetting and it feels like such a betrayal against women.”

Meghan Markle Had a British Secret Service Agent With Her on ‘Suits’ Set

Every day since the day the relationship was announced? Reeeeeaaaaaalllllyyyyyyy? This isn’t an anonymous source. This is an eyewitness from the show putting his name on it. I wonder if anyone will comment.

Ah yes they leaked their own relationship and need MI5 protection. I’m not surprised by the abuse of power.

“As soon as it came out that they were dating, everyone was warned to stop talking or they would be fired”

People mag (her bff) has the wendall story. I love when things start growing legs. Even if its half true, it’ll make people high up question what else was she doing before 1 yr came up.

Meghan Markle Had a British Secret Service Agent With Her on ‘Suits’ Set

I think the lack of British brands is the Fergie problem. In the 80’s, Fergie complained that Di was the one pushing British fashion. So F ended up reaching out to French designers like Jean Paul Gaultier. In M’s case, she’s doing the same, just with designers from more than one country. And Fergie got into huge debt buying all the high fashion. M is just full on going for freebies and possibly even getting paid to do it. History is repeating itself but in even slimier ways.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Very likely.

What do you think about Meghan’s family drama?

washingtonandwinter:

countesscuriosity:

regalmonarchist:

First of all, everyone has annoying relatives, even I do. So I am not surprised that she does not like them. Besides, I think the madness runs in the family. I just find it surprising how people are pitying Meghan. She claims to be a humanitarian yet she doesn’t bother helping her father mentally, emotionally or financially(whatever he wants). He might be the trashiest person on earth but he still raised her and she probably has SOME good memories of him. Not to mention she made him sound like the best dad in the world on Father’s day on her insta. How can she truly help strangers(her so-called humanitarian work) and at the same time not even glance at her own father? She is such a fake and I’m surprised more people don’t question this. I hate some of my relatives but if they were so desperately wanting something I would not turn them away because they are family. And if I did turn them away then at least I wouldn’t call myself a humanitarian. 

I second this. I don’t know if it has to do with the culture we are brought up in, but I’ve always learnt that you try and be there for your family. Granted, if they are toxic, you create boundaries, and sometimes those boundaries mean no communication. But clearly, from her Instagram posts, she had love and respect for her father and mother. So, why did her father not have her direct number even before he sold photos to paparazzi? (He said he had the number of her aide who would then give her the phone or she’d call back. After he started talking to the media, those numbers were changed.) More importantly, why did Harry not meet him at any time before or after the engagement? He’d met Doria several times before they got engaged. Why hasn’t she given him any financial support when she made it?

Again, I’m not suggesting you have to give thek everything you own and not have any boundaries, but she presented their relationship like it was really good, do then why did Harry not meet him and why didn’t she help him financially?

And if Thomas was always toxic and their relationship was bad, why present it as otherwise to the world?

They can’t both be true, so either she was lying about their relationship, or she’s self-centered.

I think both.  Here was a man she spoke highly of and lovingly of forever. Yet. and I kept at this- Harry never met him?? It was and is disrespectful as they have the means and private transportation to do so.   And then Harry went on to say the family she never had??  She has a Mom and a Dad and they love and have supported her.  No apology.  And since no one, unless forced to, even bothers with Meghan- who is Harry to say such things??

Mr. Markle has been genuinely hurt.  It all could have been avoided .  If she was so loving to her parents- KP would have sent people etc. to get them ready for the wedding.  It must be a daunting thing- yet they both could have been in U.K. quietly getting readied for new customs and traditions for at least the life their daughter would be living.

So I think you are right.  There is a lot of lying anyway with these two and had she stopped to think about her parents for one second- it would have been an easy fix for the wedding.

Meghan Markle’s designer charity gala outfit cost over £9,000 – what was she wearing?

anonymoushouseplantfan:

MEGHAN MARKLE, 37, and Prince Harry attended a charity gala last night. Meghan wore a blue dress from Jason Wu and Aquazzura shoes. The whole look cost over £9,000.

—————————-x——————————-

With £9,000 you can look like the mix between a Smurfette’s vagina + a potato sack. Lovely…


Thanks for sending this in! Looks like the price tags are making headlines again.

Meghan Markle’s designer charity gala outfit cost over £9,000 – what was she wearing?

So,I’m the only one who thinks,that MM leak to Mio ‘Doria extended stay over the Summer’ is because Thomas M is going to give an interview this weekend,this leak is to ‘Protect’ H&M and KP from the Backlash of Thomas interview,”MM is not a heartless gold digger,Doria is a pillar of strength to MM and Doria has the ‘close relationship’ with Harry” I think MM ‘friends-royal sources’ will use ‘Dignified,Quiet Doria’ to trash Thomas M.on the press

anonymoushouseplantfan:

You are not the only one. As soon as the “belly ruffles” dress came out people started thinking that it’s a distraction from an upcoming Thomas story.

Creating confusion with multiple conflicting narratives / timelines is a very effective PR strategy, especially if you have bad press. It allows the celeb to become Teflon because it sows distrust in all news sources, good and bad. When are ready to make a statement they can signal that the “good” stuff is true while the bad stuff is all just “fake news.” And, it still keeps your name in the press.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

It has to be on purpose. You’d expect them to get at least ONE story right if it were pure chance. Instead, ALL the stories are off.

Padmé Amidala’s costumes featured in the Smithsonian

traveling exhibition Rebel, Jedi, Princess, Queen: Star Wars™ and the Power of Costume

Seriously her costume game was basically the one positive thing the prequels gave us.

Everything about the prequels is positive, but I’ll admit that the costumes are one of the best parts. 

We’ll have to agree to strongly disagree.

When you think about it, most of what PH/M do is “secret”. Secret visit with TQ. Secret visit with PC/C or PW/K. Secret visit to Canada/LA/Chicago. They’ve been doing all this “secret” stuff since Day 1. Here’s my theory: in their own immature, incredibly stupid way, they’re trying to establish some type of “modern” version of “Royal Mystique”. I don’t think that either one knows what “Royal Mystique” really is, which is why we get so many leaks about their “secret” this or that.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Well, it’s not secret if People, BS Weekly, E! and GMA know all about it, is it? I don’t get the sugars who respond to Mio’s post with “Oh, I’m so glad she has discreet friends like Jess who respect her privacy” or “Doria is so discreet.”

Meghan has leaked stories coming out every other week, just like she did when she first appeared on the scene. At first, it was semi-justifiable because she was establishing her image in the public eye, but at this point it’s just exhibitionism.

That is the exact spot my parents found a stray kitten. Nice little addition to the family, but would have been a terrible addition to the pavement had she not been very vocal OTL

No joke, the place where that cat is resting in this picture is called a “dead cat hole” it’s an automotive term.  Don’t believe me, look it up.

This is also where I found a stray cat, she was up in there during a thunderstorm and I begged my dad to let me being her inside and that’s the story of how I got my first cat.

Please don’t skip over this without reading it and making a mental note. Even if you don’t have a car, tell your parents or whoever, and make sure to do this. You think that’ll never happen but that’s what everyone thought who had this happen and didn’t check, and that poor cold cat met with a terribly sad end.

We have been wrong all this time. Guess what doria came to UK to visit dumb and dumber in their Oxfordshire home. Aren’t they live in NC or is omid talking about SOHO?

Thanks for the tip. Yes, he means Soho. LOL, “sources confirm….” I’m dying.

So, during summer:

– Balmoral trip with RF. 

-Oh no, everybody is seen, except the Dumbartons.

– They travel to Italy with the Clooneys.

– Oh no, she went to Canada.

– Actually she went to Cali to spend some time with mommy.

– Oh no, mommy actually visited them at countryside.

– Oh no, they were busy adopting a dog.

– The dog was only seen by a royal biographer (😁😁😁😁)

– She’s pregnant.

-In fact she was seen drinking champagne on a flight.

We haven’t reached the 4 months mark yet…

returntohorrorhigh:

When I came out into society, I was fifteen. I already knew that the role I was condemned to, namely to keep quiet and do what I was told, gave me the perfect opportunity to listen and observe. Not to what people told me, which naturally was of no interest, but to whatever it was they were trying to hide. I practiced detachment. I learned how to look cheerful while under the table I stuck a fork into the back of my hand. I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn’t pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralist to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think, and novelists to see what I could get away with. And in the end, I distilled everything to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle January 2019 Tarot Reading – September 7th, 2018

I decided to look into January and see what was going on there, considering the (possible) mess that will be this fall. This always, send feedback and requests to my inbox. I am taking personal readings for a couple of hours so hurry and get yours in before the day is up. Anyways, this is what I got.

“Show me Meghan Markle in January 2019?” 

  • Nine of Swords Rx – fell out the deck while shuffling.
  • (Queen of Cups, center; Knight of Pentacles, challenge; Death, root; Justice, past influence; Moon, crown; Five of Swords Rx, near-future; Eight of Cups, feelings/self-belief (clarifiers : Ten of Cups, Three of Pentacles Rx, King of Swords, King of Wands Rx); Five of Pentacles, enviorement; Three of Wands, hopes/fears; Four of Wands, outcome/new direction (clarifiers: Eight of Swords and Nine of Cups)
  • Seven of Swords, Devil, World – bottom of the deck

So to start off, I do find it very ironic that when I asked about Meghan, Harry came up instead. And not just by himself, but with the Queen of Cups. And we all know who that is..(FD). But if this isn’t FD, Harry came up in the middle of the spread (Knight of Pen.) showing something major emotionally going down with Prince Harry this month (Moon/Queen of Cups/Death). I think Prince Harry is really going to start listening to his heart in January and really wake up if he hasn’t before this and finally give in and not letting this drama go on anymore (Five of Swords Rx) (reminder: I do think Harry realizes the damage and destruction this marriage is having on him and his family but I never saw him fully giving out, I did see him asking for help and realizing his mistakes though, just not fully surrendering just yet) and there’s a lot of female energy around him this month (Queen of Cups).  I do still think him and Meghan might be married (Four of Wands/Eight of Swords) legally (Justice) but emotionally, I think they are separated (Eight of Cups/Ten of Cups/Five of Pen./Five of Swords Rx/Nine of Swords Rx). 

I think by January, Harry just wants to be done with all the drama and kind of go away and travel in seclusion whether that’s by himself or with FD (Three of Wands). Three of Wands is a three, which represents creativity, love, expression and with Wands, which represents passion, love, and drive btw, which is why I say it might be with FD. He might travel somewhere for the hoildays and come back home for January mostly or he might stay at home all January (Four of Wands/Eight of Swords) but whatever he is, he’s content with being there (Nine of Cups). 

If FD is in the picture, I still think it will be kept very much a secret (Moon/Nine of Swords Rx) because Harry doesn’t want to mess this up. 

I also think something will come to light (Seven of Swords/The World), regarding something scandalous (Devil) involving Meghan more perhaps (since this is Meghan’s reading, even though Harry’s all over it). This can also represent again, FD and Harry sneaking around with her, because again I still believe they are married during this time or at least have something legally binding them together, and this would be still considered a affair even though Harry’s happy (World).

Reiterating here, no I don’t think their that happy right now (meaning January) in this marriage (Ten of Cups) even though Ten of Cups came up upright. I think they aren’t really working together or getting along at all (Three of Pen. Rx) at this point (but let’s be real are we shocked by this lmao). Something legally binding them like I said before, regardless if they are legally seperated or not (King of Swords) and they aren’t happy about it (King of Wands Rx). I think someone is moving on emotionally for sure (probably Harry) (Eight of Cups).

“Will they still be married in January 2019?”

  • (Judgement, Wheel of Fortune Rx, The Star Rx, Ace of Cups, Six of Wands Rx)

Again, something legal going on with these two in January. And a significant decision (Judgement) will be made, probably not a good one (Wheel of Fortune/Six of Wands Rx) meaning one that looks bad on them. There that Wheel Rx goes again. I keep saying this, nothing but bad karma around these two. I think their relationship is hopeless and sad and unbalanced by January (The Star) and someone will have someone new (Ace of Cups) (Six of Wands Rx is also a cheating card) whether that’s public or private.

“Show me the legal state of their marriage in January 2019?”

  • (Nine of Wands Rx, center; Page of Swords Rx, challenge; Two of Cups Rx, root; Page of Wands, past influence; Ace of Swords Rx, crown; Tower, near-future (clarifiers: Three of Cups, Four of Cups, Queen of Swords); Ten of Wands Rx, feelings/beliefs (clarifiers: Three of Swords Rx); Six of Pentacles Rx, environment; Seven of Wands Rx, hopes/fears; Two of Swords Rx, outcome/new direction)

Kept pulling some cards…

  • (Empress Rx, Emperor Rx, Lovers Rx, Eight of Wands Rx, Hanged Man, Hierophant Rx)

Like I said, I don’t think their marriage is doin that hot by January (Empress Rx/Lovers Rx/Hierophant Rx). Emperor is also one of Meghan’s birth cards, and it came up reversed so she isnt happy this month. Marriage is unstable (Emperor Rx/Empress Rx/Heiorphant Rx/Lovers Rx) and full of burdens and regrets (Hanged Man). Eight of Wands (the arrows of love) reversed. They aren’t getting along (Nine of Wan. Rx/Two of Cups Rx). The cards are showing them carrying a heavy burden this month regarding thier marriage (Nine of Wan. Rx/Ten of Wan. Rx). Due to not wanting to let go of something, but having too anyways (Three of Swords Rx). Nine of Wan. Rx also represents lack of commitment, bad luck, feeling under attack, paranoia, no trust, and also major disagreements. Page of Swords Rx represents bad news, it facing the Page of Wands which represents unexpected/suprising news, I do think something unexpected will come out regarding thier marriage around this time. I think whatever it wil be devasting (The Tower) and cause lots of confusion (Ace of Swords Rx). I think something regarding their marriage legally is going to go down (Queen of Swords) involving a third party (Three of Cups), probably a female lawyer (Queen of Swords) who sits down and reevaluates this marriage (Four of Cups) because of whatever scandal or news that comes to light, whether that be publicly or privately.

I think legally their marriage is very complex but very confusing at that moment (Two of Swords Rx). For some reason their very worried about the status of thier marriage this month and lots of different opinions are involved and a lot of criticism and challenges this month (Seven of Wands Rx).

Again, lots of judgement around them and lots of money troubles or greediness around money *shocker* (Six of Pentacles Rx).

“Will a cheating scandal come out involving come out involving Harry and Meghan in January 2019?”

Did mutiple CC spreads for this.

  • (Temperance, Four of Swords, Nine of Pentacles, Page of Cups Rx, Strength (Meghan), Knight of Swords Rx, Knight of Cups, Queen of Pentacles, Queen of Wands Rx, Two of Wands)
  • The Fool, Seven of Cups, King of Cups Rx – bottom of the deck
  • (Sun, Chariot Rx, Five of Cups Rx, Six of Swords, Ace of Pentacles, Ten of Pentacles Rx (BRF), Hermit, Four of Pentacles Rx, High Priestess Rx)

So I do think if a cheating scandal comes out, it will involve Meghan for sure (Strength). I think the media is being very meticulous and methodical about how they go about this (Four of Swords/Temperance).

I do think Meghan is hiding a secret involving love (Page of Cups Rx) and that cheating will get out (Knight of Swords Rx/Four of Pentacles). I think with all the cards popping up at the bottom of the deck, I think she is having by this time, a secret relationship with a man (King of Cups Rx/Knight of Cups Rx) and what she says is innocent (Fool) really isn’t. Meaning I think when she’s confronted about it, she’ll act all Queen of Pentacles and very humble and “woe is me” type of girl, and claim it was all innocent and rosy (Seven of Cups/Fool) but in reality it is was something more than that (King of Cups Rx/Queen of Wands Rx). I orginally thought this might be Trevor but since Knight of Cups came up as well, I’m leaning towards maybe not so much anymore. Some say Pentacles is also a writing card, so that can also signal it coming out in a newspaper or some writing of some sort. I think the media is trying to make sure they get everything they can get, and every possible loophole sealed before they release this (Two of Wands Rx) so it won’t be so easy I’m guessing for the sugars/fans to shot them down.

I think Meghan is going to feel embarrassed by this (Sun Rx) and will want to go away for a while (Six of Swords/Four of Swords) or this might come out while she’s away traveling somewhere or something.

Ace of Pentacles came up in the near future I mean guys?!?! Pentacles represents the winter season, we’re talking about January. Pentacles also represents years, we’re talking about next year/beginning of the year. Ace means one, the beginning/start of something, and January is what month of the year, oh yeah the first (1).

Anways the BRF and Harry are going to be pissed when this comes out (Ten of Pentacles Rx) and it will come out (HP Rx/Four of Pen. Rx).

“Will Meghan Markle still be a duchess in January 2019?”

King of Pentacles – Yes for right now.

This is what I got for January for these two, hope you like it. Send me feedback and requests in my inbox as always. Thanks for all the love guys. TT, out.

Well, off-hand, I’d say Friday, January 18, 2019, looks like a great day for a news dump. Just sayin’…

She definitely doesn’t get enough credit. People go on and on about Diana modernising the monarchy- and she did in a lot of ways- but Anne was the one who didn’t want her husband to have a title so her kids could live a normal life. She’s the one who was in the Olympics and showed that royals could have talent and a profession (outside the army) as well as royal duties. She’s the one who handled her divorce gracefully and didn’t damage the monarchy. She’s the one who rides a damn horse in military uniform alongside her brothers because she isn’t going to stand on a balcony and watch everyone else. Her husband can do that. She’s a bad ass. I think she changed royalty for women in a big way.

But maybe everyone’s a little bit ugly. Maybe we’re all just dying sacks of shit, and maybe all it’ll take is one person to just be okay with that, and then the whole world will be dancing and singing and farting, and everyone will feel a little bit less alone.

People are legitimately blaming Jason Wu for the dress nightmare from Peace event & im just like uhm, thats a BESPOKE dress which means Meghan had a hand in the addition of the stupid ass pleats crap, it wasnt just Jason Wu. 🤦‍♀️ He did what she wanted

People, aka Markle stans, are dumb. No one forced her to wear that dress. She easily could have worn a dress that fit and didn’t give the impression that she had gained weight instantaneously. But noooo….

Her fashion sense sucks and that’s all there is to it. Her fans/stans just won’t allow themselves to blame her for her own mistakes. No surprise there.

For the Brit brands: they are not used to give it to the royals for free. It’s just not done like that. Of course, Sarah Burton might give Kate a huge discount when she orders 5 coat-dressed from the same pattern but in 5 slighly different shades of pastel. But look at that from the perspective that at these numbers it’s no longer a bespoken, it’s a mass production! And Erdem might give Kate a wholesale discount for buying a whole line of curtain dresses in one day.  I mean, they have to encourage their loyal customers.  But absolutely free?  Nope, still not done for the royals. As for Meghans: she does not have budget left.  Whatever PC gave her, she blew it up already.  So Canadian and US freebies it is.  Whatever JM can find. 


Thanks for sending this in! I think she still has a Stella tux somewhere (at leas according to one of the leaks), but, in general, I suspect you’re right.

She’s creating a new identity for her herself-Meghan the Duchess- and discarding Meghan the B list actress. She has to “reinvent the wheel” to reinvent herself. Paralegal attire no longer cuts it.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

True, but she only looks good in a couple of silhouettes (pencil skirts, fitted dresses, cigarette pants, and fifties-style dresses). You can get a work wardrobe out of those pieces, IF you vary them with colors and patterns and add some statement jewelry. If you’re going to stick to monochromes and minimalist bling, it’s going to get real old, real fast.

And it already has. We’ve had about a dozen all-black looks, four or five tux/black suits, navy everything, countless black clutches, etc…  If she wants the “hard-worker” labels, she’s going to have to put together about 200 looks a year. That’s 50 black tuxes, at least.
