Re: merching. Actors and musicians have been receiving freebies since at least 2000, if not earlier. Li’l Kim once rapped, “Y’all rock Versace and y’all went out and bought it // I rock Versace and y’all know I ain’t paid for it” — pretty sure freebies were handed out for red carpet events in the 90s (Liz Hurley’s Versace dress anyone?). Xtina Aguilera was given A&F orange trousers in her 1999 music video, “Genie in a Bottle”. But as far as pap-merch goes it is an online shopping auxiliary

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yes, but I think the “walking down he street and getting papped with Dior” phenomenon came later.

Liz Hurley doesn’t own those famous Versace dresses though. Those were just loaned for red carpet events.

As it has been said before: like mother like son, same bright mind. Diana’s revenge against the RF has the same lack of logic than Harry rebelliousness: both wanted the perks of being royal, but believed they were above the monarchy due to their charisma and failed to see they should do the best for the instituition for their own sake. I don’t doubt Diana believed she could bring down the Windsors, but save her sons.

I will try to come back tomorrow. Time to go. Still a lot of preparations (that should have been done by now, since she is loved and truly welcomed by the BRF…not!) to do. A lot still not ready. Honestly, I hope all will be set by tomorrow. Let’s see. Enjoy THE SHOW 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, oh, wighoe…

I’m on the fence about the dog. Looks kind of like a beagle. Could be a dorgi if it’s the light/reflection off the glass fuzzing up the colour and longer fur. I’m kind of thinking it’s M’s middle finger dragging out Guy with QE and have him at the wedding (totes American & iconoclastic to have a dog at church!). I’m actually hoping it will be an Ursula/dog moment :D would be sooo epic. Whatever it is, we might see tomorrow.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I’d love an Ursula/dog moment, but I think that’s a dorgi.

Royals don‘t care what the public thinks, they think they can bury it with a few hugs and staged pics, more reasons for a republic

anonymoushouseplantfan:

THIS.

I don’t think the royal family thinks they have much of a choice at this point. There are plenty of people world-wide–particularly in the US–that see nothing wrong with all of H&M’s famewhoring. If they put a stop to the wedding, then they know that they would get more flack from the public about stopping the wedding. It’s only those royal watchers who pay close attention to detail and aren’t stanning Harry & Megs that think this shit show needs to be stopped.

HM The Queen and Meghan’s dog,Guy riding beside her into Windsor May 17th 2018

Guy has just moved up in the world #doggoals

Guy out there living his best life and we here, ranting on the internet

That isn’t guy. It’s one of hers! Wendy or Candy or the adopted one. She still got two dorgis.

that’s the queen’s dog?

Yep!

er… facts…. and google help guys… @nycrealroyal

The Queen’s Corgis passed away. The last one passed just recently – In APRIL as in last month…

I know you guys have a ‘narrative’ you’re married to but of facts… reported by legit news… that.. well…

That was MM’s Guy riding with the Queen. Her Corgies passed. End of.

SHE GOT TWO DORGIS! JESUS!

It’s a DORGI not a Corgi!

Remember when everybody was shading Kate, calling her Waity Kaity because it took them a decade to get engaged? How the public was slowly warmed to the idea that this girl may have had cray relatives (uncle gary lol) but Will still took his time to get to know EVERYONE and everybody got invited to the wedding? And despite British media trying to get dirt on Kate they didnt even have a proper recording of her voice in the 10 years she was Will’s gf? Did H not take notes? What a dolt.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

He STILL hasn’t met her dad.

P.S. to an anon I just sent in – looking at Megs in the car, I think she’s batsh*t crazy. Absolutely, not hyperbole. That bizarre face and that damn left hand held up bent at the elbow – same pose when she’s doing her engagement walkabouts/posing. She is CRAZY. She is not a Markle family outlier – she is of them.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Absolutely. Lainey has an interesting post on the Markle “wildcards”today. 

http://www.laineygossip.com/meghan-markle-confirms-in-statement-that-her-father-will-not-attend-royal-wedding/49922

It’s insightful, but I don’t understand why people are still in denial about Meghan being a Markle through and through. Meghan has no fucks to give. She’s always trying to rewrite the story. She uses technology to amplify everything.

She’s 100% Markle. She’s been doing what her family is doing now since Day 1. They use TMZ; she used US Weekly. They use Coleman Rayner; She used Constant Media. They use books and exercise equipment as props; She used baseball caps and monogrammed necklaces.

They are exactly the same.

vivienvalentino:

She’s known by the police as the Black Widow. She mates, then she kills. She investigates wealthy men, finding the richest, loneliest bachelors, gaining their trust and their love, and finally, she marries them. Then, on the wedding night, she kills them. The deaths appear accidental. After the funeral, she disappears, cash in hand, but the money never lasts. Soon the Black Widow is hungry again, hungry for cash, hungry for love. A mistress of disguise, she’s eluded the authorities for years. Who is she, and what seemingly innocent pose will she next assume? All we can say is… bachelors, beware.

Harry looked happy on the way back. I can’t wait for circus to be over

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Given Will and Kate’s faces and Harry and Meghan’s expressions I think talking to the lovebirds must be like talking to the stupidest sugars in the world. 

Will and Kate: “Look, this is a mess and we look awful.” 

Harry & Meghan: “Oh no, we just look relatable and everyone has crazy family members and it’s perfectly normal to not meet the in laws at all and desert your sick dad in Mexico so we’ll just leak some crap stories to Emily and Mio and everything will be fine. Look at the new earrings Birks sent me, aren’t they gorge?” 

Will and Kate: *deep sigh*

Is there a reason why KP and the british press are not best buddies right now?

duchessofostergotlands:

I think the New York Times article does a good job of explaining it. It’s also important to remember that Arthur Edwards is the single most respected royal photographer in the country. He’s so well regarded by the royal family that Kate and William have singled him out twice when they’ve come out with their babies. So for him to speak to the press and say something critical of the royals is a big big deal. 

There’s always a love-hate relationship between the UK press and the royal family though. Nothing new.

The media being limited at the wedding has made news in Canada. Arthur Edwards was interviewed by the CBC. He was again saying that the relationship with Harry and the media has gotten more difficult. The royals just dont seem to have a long term strategy when it comes to this. I completely sympathise with them when they blame the paps for Dianas death and I understand being angry when untrue stories are written. But they need the press, the press doesnt need them. KP needs a new comms team

duchessofostergotlands:

I am hoping with every fibre of my being that something good will come out of the Markle shit show and they’ll get a new press team at KP. Please please please. 

More specifically, Harry doesn’t have a long-term press strategy. 

Hello Ninja Your words are always wise and soothing. I hope Harry learns his lesson he is a role model. One bad side effect of the presence of this shady person by his side is the distortion of values, you can see now with the drama around her blood relatives that often press emphasizes her shallowness as something positive or modern. Being Harry the 6th in line the BRF could/should put this woman in her place before it’s too late. I really hope no kids involved. Trust God will enlighten all.

ninjasmart:

I hope no kids  no wedding, no bag of money as a parting gift, no titles, no tiaras but most of all I hope she gets what she reaps now what she’s been sawing all her life. Then, after justice is served, I hope she opens her eyes, realizes her mistakes and find a way to live an honorable life. 

Im gonna explain something: when a man is in love, they are blind but when you have a great relationship with your family you try to see everything in diferents ways not only yours. Thats the trouble and we can see it and she is using that in advantage. How can someone fake love??. Want to get married ?? do it. Wants to do hollywood wedding?? do it. At the end you are destroying not your family but the monarchy and the different between charles, di and camila era is the young people :). Bye BRF

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I don’t think he has a great relationship with his family. That’s the crux of the problem.

I think he blames his family for his own problems. He doesn’t take responsibility for his own mistakes. He truly thinks he should be as important as William and doesn’t see the difference between his own behavior and William’s.

Flashback…was there any truth to this?

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Everyone is side eyeing at MM (obviously) about the dad’s situation but PH may have started the ball rolling…

If PH had wanted to meet her dad she would have made it happen because she wanted PH…

Just a theory…

From 2016

radaronline.com/exclusives/2016/12/prince-harry-refuses-meet-girlfriend-meghan-markle-family/

“Meghan’s had to go through the whole ridiculously pompous rigmarole of being introduced to Harry’s family,” the insider told Radar, pointing out that “the etiquette list just for five minutes in front of the Queen took her a few days of memorizing.”

“The least he can do is come for lunch at her mom’s place, or even down to Mexico to see her dad,” blasted the source.

As Radar reported, Harry, 32, and 35-year-old Markle were photographed together for the first time while out on an official date to the theater in London recently.

Despite their connection, “Harry keeps dodging the subject of meeting Meghan’s loved ones,” said the insider.

“Before he began his Barbados trip would have been the perfect opportunity, but his staff conveniently kept adding to his to-do list in London so he supposedly never had the chance.

Then it was refuted:

Meghan Markle Not ‘Fuming’ Because Of Prince Harry’s ‘Refusal’ To Meet Her Family

Thanks for sending this in! Well, she probably wasn’t “fuming.” She didn’t want him to meet them either.
