Duchess of Cambridge One Photo Only Challenge

[3/31] – Choose One Favorite Photo Of Catherine On Her Wedding Day

This has been such a favourite of mine for such a long time. It’s not the Duchess of Cambridge, it’s Catherine from Berkshire, with her dad. Michael is looking at Kate and Kate is looking up the aisle, ready to walk towards her new life.

Flawless bride.

“Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla’s tour in Africa has honestly been so great. I’ve been loosely following g along on Instagram and seeing all of the pictures of Camilla or Charles smiling and laughing (and even dancing!!) warms my heart. I feel like everyone just wants to portray them as really bad/mean people when they are definitely not!“ – Submitted by Anonymous

That morning I was not yet a vampire, and I saw my last sunrise. I remember it completely, and yet I can’t recall any sunrise before it. I watched the whole magnificence of the dawn for the last time as if it were the first. And then I said farewell to sunlight, and set out to become what I became.

That thing about MM believing in “karma” and “negativity” was pre-Harry AND before she was famous lol I remember reading that going “ok, cool” but now I’m all 🤣🤣🤣🤣

talkingtarot:

Ikr. Like the hypocrisy of it all.

Aside from hypocrisy, I was thinking that maybe this isn’t the best week to tempt the powers that be about “believing in karma.” 

image

If I were her, I wouldn’t be making such stupid statements.

Good evening OPI, can you see with a draw the relationship between Meghan and his press team. She must be a client that we do not want to have but we say yes to all her wishes to be at peace, no?

opinioniste:

And hello to you! It feels like it’s been a minute since I’ve done a BRF reading, but here’s what I got for them lately Xx

image

What’s MM’s relationship with her PR team? 

Contrary to suspicion, this team is working hard to fight in her corner and keep up appearances (Two of Cups). Whether this extends to personal opinion is another matter, but they’re quietly plodding along and focused on keeping an objective viewpoint (The Hermit, Queen of Swords Rx). 

There have been some upsets in this relationship that have caused a fair amount of stress and anxiety (Temperance Rx, Three of Swords Rx), which have created cause for concern. This is already a red flag for future issues that will continue to arise (Ten of Pentacles Rx).

On MM’s side, she’s feeling depressed and unable to control the impulse to keep a strong arm in what’s getting put out (Strength Rx, The Devil). It’s become an obsession that she can’t let go of (Knight of Swords), and while she’s happy with the support she’s being given (Three of Cups), she still can’t shake the feeling of doubt and mistrust (Nine of Wands). Those cards are being kept relatively close to her chest while keeping an ear to the ground for potential moles (Queen of Pentacles). 

On the PR side, they’re pushing forward for the good of the firm (The Chariot, Two of Wands). They’re pleased with how they’ve managed to keep things looking good from the inside (Four of Wands), but there’s a niggling doubt that this task is not worth the trouble (Nine of Cups Rx, Six of Swords). It might have something to do with the manipulation and mood swings they’re currently having to deal with in order to get the job done (King of Cups Rx). 

It is seriously pissing me off that Charles forced the cambs to invite harkles to anmar last Christmas, why couldn’t he invite them to his house? Why pressurize the cambs? And now they have to cancel their plans with the Middleton christmas? Why do cambs always have to be the one to bend down and save bloody harry’s nose!!

I have no idea how much room Charles has at his Christmas digs and who else already stays there. Maybe Camilla’s kids come over and they don’t have room?

image

It will look bad on Charles and his inability to “control” his son. No one is looking to her majesty to manage the family anymore, it’s up to Charles.

Harry is an adult. Most people can easily see that the fault lies with Harry, not his father. All of this is a result of Harry’s actions, not Charles.

I don’t think Elizabeth was scapegoated for Margaret’s marriage failing so publicly back in the early 70s. Most people with kids know that once your children are adults that they are no longer in your “control.” 

image

True, they won’t still be together by the time Charles is officially king, however, the public gives QEII a pass cos she’s served well and for so long and now she’s old. The Harkle debacle rests squarely on Charles head.

Don’t agree. It rests mostly on Harry’s head because it’s his wife. Any fallout will affect Harry’s public position not Charles’ position.

Also, Charles isn’t officially regent at this point, so this is all still on Elizabeth’s watch.

image

I should probably clarify my message—Im saying Charles showing favoritism towards the problem couple before his reign knowing full well of her shady past & current shady dealings while married in the BRF will look poorly on Charles. I know theyll be divorced by 2020 but he needs to show unity with his sons for the sake of his reign.

Meh. I think by the time Charles becomes king other things will be on people’s minds. Also, I don’t think it’s obvious to any degree that Charles is showing favoritism in anyway if Doria shows up at Sandringham. That one will be on Queen Elizabeth and Philip. Also, I don’t think Charles has shown an overwhelming sense of favoritism toward Harry and Megs, at least not publicly. He just hasn’t publicly rebuked them in anyway such as the press.

image

Are there even enough rooms at Sandringham to have one available for Doria? I thought I read that there weren’t actually that many bedrooms there. And if the Cambs go to the Midds, no options at Anmer either. Lack of space to host her is a good excuse, she can always visit before or after Xmas.

Well, let’s not forget that Doria has to give up hanging out with her friends and family back in SoCal to fly all the way to England for Meg’s PR games. 

There is probably room, given that it’s a large estate, but the bigger issue would probably be that you have to dress up all the time because you’re in the home of the Queen. That’s how the Queen likes it. It’s a strict schedule. Doria wouldn’t really know anyone there very well.

I wouldn’t want to go. I like my lazy Christmases with my family.

image

Tbh I dont think the Queen nor Charles see bringing Doria as a way to accomplish anything. If you bring Doria, you better bring the Midds too. Bringing Doria would not show unity, only favoritism & at times like this, they need to show unity between the remaining senior royals that will tow the royal line when the Queen is gone. When the Harkle marriage goes south & turns ugly the last thing Charles needs is to show favoritism towards the problem couple. Itll reflect poorly on Charles judgement

If BP/PW/RF behind the recent leaks about MM’s behavior why now are PW/DC NOT going to Buckleberry this year (last year they were at Sandringham) just to show solidarity with MM/PH. What game is BRF playing? They kick the Sussex’s to Frogmore Cottage then bend over backwards to show support? I don’t get it, and it sounds like MM wants that photo-op w/HM & Doria. Do they really believe PH/MM have learned their lessons?

I’m not convinced the source in that recent article is originating out of Buckingham Palace. I suspect it’s someone throwing a fit in Nott Cott–cough, Meghan–at this point. We’re seeing a clear tit-for-tat relationship with the recent Mail on Sunday article. Someone is afraid of looking bad, and I don’t think it’s the Cambridges.

image

Doria would spend Christmas at Sandringham mostly secluded because she’s not a royal and even though H&M are isolating themselves and are being isolated from the family, it’s MM first Christmas with royals and never in a million years she’d miss an occasion like that. She wasn’t there last year, she was at Anmer with Cambridges. And if her relationship with Doria was half as good as her PR tries to project it, they would spend last Christmas together and MM would also fly this year.

image

Inviting Doria to Sandringdam for christmas would be a piss poor move given the current circumstances….meaning the drama. That would just add fuel to the fire if you ask me. Lets hope the Queen & Charles turn down the decision to have Doria stay at Sandringdam

Yeah, as it stands right now, there is no real reason to have Doria there. I mean, how would they confirm that she was there? Have her do the Christmas walk with Meghan instead of her husband? It would seem to be a publicity ploy straight up Meghan’s alley. 

And what would a visit by Doria accomplish? I don’t get the impression that Meghan cares much for advice from other people–including her mother–so why have Doria fly a few thousand miles to chat in person instead of having Megs phone her mom? Makes no sense…

image

Im surprised no talk of Doria. I wonder if itll stoke he fires even more if she were to come. Im beginning to think she might be told not to come due to the drama. Your thoughts?

Well, Doria was mentioned in the article.

Yesterday it was claimed that, in a sign of the iciness between the two
couples, William and Kate, both 36, had opted to spend Christmas with
the Middleton family in Bucklebury, Berkshire. Harry and Meghan would be
at Sandringham, possibly with Meghan’s mother, Doria.

I don’t think Doria will be there unless something happens with the baby. There’s no real reason for her to be there.
