Dear Aunt Lucy, I hope all is well in the Home for Retired Bears. Life in London has been better than ever this summer. I’ve really got to grips with how things work.
Oh, that’s a good point. He may have seen it in the pics, though.
Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.

I’ve been meeting women who are crying so violently they can barely speak. I’m meeting women whose hands are shaking, who look at me with kind of a vacant gaze. It’s extremely upsetting to see.
This might be one of the best things I’ve read this morning. (Sorry, I have a couple stressful days ahead.)
But what you’re saying explains a lot of things. She’s still merching. I just CANNOT understand what any luxury brand sees in her though. I mean, do you know? She looks terrible in all of her recent outfits. Like that blue disaster she wore to the Spencer wedding…😳
But you’re definitely right in that she doesn’t have much time. She probably has two weeks–MAYBE three weeks max–as I see it before things get even crazier.
The summer of fire is here, and July ain’t going to be pretty for a lot of people (and much of August too). Like, if you’re in the US and live in an area that could be hit by a hurricane, start preparing now. If you know people who are having tough emotional times, keep in contact with them and let them you know you care and that they’re not alone.
Shit is already crazy, and I guarantee you it’s going to get even crazier.
Well, I don’t do tarot, but I understand the general gist of things. It seems everyone who does tarot cards on them gets things that don’t indicate a good or lasting marriage/relationship.
Ah, THANK YOU!! I wasn’t convinced it was a recent photo, but then the outfit is such a repliKate that I wasn’t sure. I mean, she actually looks healthier in that pic from two years ago than she does now, but I thought perhaps that it was taken at polo yesterday. Guess not!
Oh yeah, the distancing has definitely started. She couldn’t make it to Lesotho. I haven’t seen any articles or photos with Harry at polo from yesterday. And now she’s going to be hunkered up in the palace until her next engagement? Like, certain people (*cough* Markle stans/sugars *cough*) don’t seem to realize that this is not a great start to a royal marriage.
I’d probably only give this 10 months max (until March 2019) if it’s to finalize the paperwork. But we’ll see…
Do we have any idea when & where Megs wore this dress?
Was it taken at yesterday’s polo game or somewhere else? I haven’t been able to find an article for the photo of Megs on the right yet, but saw it in my feed this morning.
You’re welcome! Normally I wouldn’t think Megs still had pr different from the palace, but she must have considering how much articles are originating with US press such as US Weekly and People. Palace would always use UK media first.
I don’t think Harry is quite done, yet, but I think he’s getting there. Like, I doubt the “stuck with me” line he gave on Tuesday night was written into his speech. No way would Kensington Palace staff have written that. I assume he ad libbed it for some reason. They probably had a fight after he got home from Lesotho. When Harry is truly over it, we’ll know for sure because we’ll see “palace sources” in all sorts of articles about her bad behavior, even if there hasn’t been an official announcement. But that’ll be in UK press, not US Weekly & People no doubt.
it’s not often I agree with piers morgan, but.. 👏🏻👏🏻
When I see an old movie, like from the ’40s or ’50s or ’60s, the people look so calm. They don’t have smart phones, they’re not looking at computer screens, they’re taking their time. They’ll sit in a chair and just stare off into space. I think some day we’ll find our way back to that garden of Eden.
Yep. And I’ve never really understood that. I don’t like lots of people but I can recognise when they make important contributions or do something nice. I’m not a Harry fan but Invictus is great. I’m not an Andrew fan but he’s helped a lot of people with Pitch@ the Palace. I’m not a fan of Edward but he works really hard for the DofE award. People aren’t black and white, good or bad, nice or mean. It’s fair enough not to like someone but to assume that means you automatically have to disagree with everything they have done or will do is so narrow minded. The itinerary was decided by the host with input and approval from KP as it always is so issues with it are things to take up with the FCO and Israel/Palestine/Jordan themselves but purely on performance he surpassed my expectations and I am incredibly pleased with his work. I say that as a British taxpayer, which according to the history of this fandom gives me the power to veto anyone’s opinions 😉
Given how Harry played polo today without Megs present and Harry’s “stuck with me” comment during his speech last night, it certainly doesn’t seem like this is the strongest newlywed relationship. For me, based on the timing of these comments alone, it is not a good sign. (Not that there has ever really been a plethora of good signs surrounding this relationship and marriage.)
To me, it seems that this marriage is one ESCANDALO away from going up in flames. Megs can’t make it through a softball engagement without being on xanax or godknowswhat just to make it through an evening posing and shaking hands; Harry doesn’t have his wife around what many people thought would have been easy outings for them–namely a trip to Lesotho for Sentebale and a polo match. Fleet Street can see that there is an opening being created for them to just light the kettle on fire. It might not happen this week, but it wouldn’t surprise me if something happens by the end of July.
I’ve seen at least two tarot card readings where the readers were given a card with “10″ regarding the length of the marriage. They took it to mean that the marriage wouldn’t last more than 10 years. I suspect that the “10″ refers more to the 10th month–October–of this year. But again, we’ll just have to see how this all shakes out.
They used the same rationale for Kate’s expenses, but this is about 10 times what Kate spent. Kate is the future Queen. There is no reason why Meghan should be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars more than Kate.
Do you mean “visible” instead of “invisible”? Because Will and Kate were EVERYWHERE in 2011.
My recollection of the Cambridge’s first year is that they would disappear for weeks and then we’d get some ridiculously high-profile huge-press event like meeting the Obamas or touring the US or Kate having a solo gala. The DM has a summary of their first year.
There was a ton of coverage of everything they did (including mundane stuff like shopping or talking walks), and they were credited with re-invigorating the monarchy.
I remember there was a lot of curiosity about their personal lives–honeymoon, house, shopping, Lupo, date nights, relationship with the Middletons, Kate’s shopping trips to London. Also, Kate’s fashion had a ton of coverage. The beige Reiss dress she wore to meet the Obamas, in particular, was a sensation.
Even their first anniversary dinner was a source of huge speculation.
The main difference I see between the way the couples are/were covered by the press is that with Will and Kate there was HUGE interest in their interactions and private life. Everyone wanted to know what the cottage looked like, how they interacted with each other, what Kate was cooking, what the dog’s name was, etc… There was also a ton of interest in Kate’s clothes, organic interest and not just People mag trying to sell beach cover-ups.
With the Slutsexes, there’s more interest in how Meghan is handling the royal protocol than anything else. The “fish out of water” aspect of it is taking over. Will and Kate didn’t have that kind of coverage, mainly because Kate had been part of “The Windsor Show” for so long that her official intro was seamless.
Looking back the Cambridge’s first year, what strikes me is how “fresh” their appearances were–with the Obamas at the palace, in the Canadian wilderness, playing polo in LA, playing with kids. They really looked like a young couple who were having fun and putting a new spin on what it meant to be royal. In contrast, Meghan in her off-color pantyhose and 80s Diana outfits is already looking like a Madame Tussaud’s wax figure. Actually, the official was figure looks younger than Meghan right now.
I don’t know. The only two times I’ve seen her be completely out of it were the wedding and this reception. The wedding I kind of understand, but I wonder what triggered it this time.
There was something very weird about the way she behaved during that engagement. Apparently, Harry got in from Africa at 6 am and he still looked more awake than she did. Trigger warning for scary Meghan picture on this link, guys.
Vox, of all outlets, has an apologia on Meghan’s crap style. It’s apparently supposed to signal that she belongs. I think the elements Meghan has chosen–80s stylings, color coordination to a ridiculous extent, mismatched designer flourishes–actually does the exact opposite.
