Exactly. The royals have done this for decades and the foreword is always short with maybe one personal anecdote and they are never on the cover. It’s a HUGE contrast.
“The trips were so secret she took only a small camera crew with her, all the better to make a tiny film"
“And while it would be wrong to think the caring Duchess is using the people of Grenfell to burnish her own caring credentials, isn’t there something a tiny bit self-serving at the heart of this endeavour?”
Jan Moir calls out Meghan. Scroll down for the blurb. I think all UK journalists are so onto her. It’s a matter of walking the fine line between hanging onto their jobs and being able to say what they really think.
Thanks for sending this in! I think everyone knows what this was really about.
BTW, I hadn’t noticed that gorgeous pink coat. The community kitchen ladies were serious styling during this event.
Isn’t that weird. Less attention than the Hamilton event, and I thought it was a lot more hyped, with video and television coverage and lots of hoopla.
I suspect she’s quickly realizing the limits of royal coverage.
Exactly. This is what Meghan is saying through KP using Richard Kay as a mouthpiece. She’s trying to normalize her non-royal mother as part of the royal family for her appearances.
I think she will. She needs the US tour, a documentary, and some more magazine covers. I also think she’s still trying for a baby.
Megs can’t leave on her own after Christmas. That would make it an automatic annulment. She wouldn’t get to keep her title like she would in a divorce. She would have nothing to negotiate with against the royal family.
She doesn’t keep the tittle even after divorce. She’ll loose the HRH and when Harry remarries she’ll loose it fully cos the title is Harry’s NOT HERS. You cannot have 2 Duchess of Sussex. Also bear in mind the only reason why Fergie still has it is cos Andrew has not remarried, if he had Fergie would loose it too. And no they won’t be Ms MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR neither. That does not work that way with the BRF !!!!
Let’s remember that Megsy will live in the US after the marriage is over. The US press isn’t as likely to adhere to UK protocol. She will use that title as long as she can. The only way to ensure that she doesn’t use it is to make it crystal clear from the get-go that she does not have a right to use the title after the marriage is over. If it’s not crystal clear, then she’s going to use all the wiggle room she possibly can.
Harry remarrying wouldn’t stop her is my point.
I hear you and understand exactly what you mean. But once the divorce is set and finalised she’ll have a clause where that will be explained that she’ll loose the HRH and when Harry remarries she’ll loose the Duchess part too. If she goes on to be stubborn and a narc and uses it she can be prosecuted no matter where she is. It’s illegal and that’ll carry all over. And in the US she won’t be able to use it as a US citizen as it won’t be recognised. She’ll just go back to being Ms markle and I bet you the UK press will piss her off using the “former” word every time they mention her and hazza new wife…
I don’t really want to go back and forth on this, but in the US as it stands right now, her title has no meaning in the USA even as she’s an HRH as of this very moment. Meghan is still a US citizen right now. She hasn’t renounced her US citizenship. She’s not a British citizen yet, and she very likely won’t ever be.
There is nothing in US law that would prohibit her using it because titles are not part of US law and custom. No one is going to arrest her in the US if she had “Duchess of Sussex” on her stationary and insisted on it being used in press appearances. She is not going to be prosecuted in the US for it.
The US press doesn’t care about UK protocol. The US entertainment & celebrity press, which publishes all of Meg’s pr missives, cares even less. As they’ve proven time and again, they take the pr email and publish it as is.
Megsy is way more interested in US press coverage in the long term anyway. You’re insisting that Megsy care more about the press in a country of 66 million versus the press in a country of 326 million. It’s been pretty obvious up to now that she plays to the US press & audience because that’s the one she truly cares about. And those people are NOT going to care about UK law and stipulations.
I think she will. She needs the US tour, a documentary, and some more magazine covers. I also think she’s still trying for a baby.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex arrives with her mother Doria Ragland & Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex to host an event to mark the launch of a cookbook with recipes from a group of women affected by the Grenfell Tower fire at Kensington Palace. | September 20th, 2018
The “its an issue when it’s separate” line was about RPOs. Not about cars. So if Doria is standing away from Meghan at an event and has an RPO with her, that’s an issue. But if the RPO is with Meghan and Doria happens to be standing next to her, that’s fine.
The transportation thing, is another issue. Harry and Meghan’s travel is taxpayer funded when they’re at work because they are public representatives. Doria is not entitled to use those means of transportation. Harry and Meghan’s private vehicles that they use in their private time are not taxpayer funded and Doria could totally ride in one of those. So her riding in the car with Harry and Meghan is her using taxpayer funded means of travel which is not okay. What should have happened is that she should have arrived separately from them in one of Harry’s private cars. Does that make sense?
From this article, I think it’s important to remember that the author does both Western and Vedic astrology at this point in time, but when he made his prediction regarding Charles & Diana on the radio, he only did Western astrology at the time. He doesn’t talk about Charles’ chart in detail at all, so if you’re not familiar with it, then you might think that this 7-year-itch thing is the only possible technique to predict marriage dissolution. So let’s take a look at Charles’ chart then.
Charles has a Cancer ascendant, his ascendant lord (Moon) is in the 10th house. His 7th house (marriage/partnership) is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is placed in his 2nd house (Leo) in Magha nakshatra. Charles’ Venus is debilitated in Virgo, but it does receive some help with Mercury (Virgo’s ruler) since they are in a Parivartana yoga (mutual exchange).
Charles didn’t have the best chart for marriage before you get to planetary transits. His 7th house lord (Saturn) is placed in another maraka house (2nd house). 2nd house is also a financial house. Leo is ruled by the Sun. Sun and Saturn are in different planetary camps (in Vedic system). Sun belongs to the devas, and Saturn belongs to the asuras. All in all, it’s not a very favorable indication for marriage, and basically points to divorce, which we all know at this point happened.
When the author talks about Harry & Meghan’s dashas at the end of his article, I don’t think they’ll be married at that point, so it probably doesn’t matter. I think it’s more significant to consider Harry’s Jupiter-Saturn dasha, which goes from May 2027 to November 2029, and it’s relationship to William. The 11th house is the sign of the older brother; the 3rd house is the house of siblings in general. Saturn rules Harry’s 3rd house (Aquarius) where it is placed in his 11th house (Libra). Saturn is exalted in Libra, and it’s maximum exaltation is at 20 degrees. Harry’s Saturn is at 19 degrees and 12 minutes Libra, so it is at its maximum exaltation. I’m more willing to bet that William at this time is already Prince of Wales when Harry starts his Jupiter-Saturn dasha.
Then I think it’s necessary to take a look at both Charles & Williams charts & dasha sequences. In January of 2029, Saturn will be in Aries transiting Ashwini nakshatra, which is where Charles’ ascendant lord (Moon) is placed. Charles begins his Saturn-Saturn dasha on January 16, 2029, while Saturn is transiting his Moon, and I don’t think it’s a good sign. Because Charles’ Saturn is a maraka (death-inflicting planet) by its ownership of the 7th house, and it is placed in another maraka house (2nd), it probably has serious death-inflicting capabilities. Couple that with William beginning his Mercury-Mercury dasha on February 19, 2029. Mercury rules William’s 10th house (career). I think it’s likely that William will have a sudden change in his career in 2029.
To bring this back to Harry, Harry lost his mother (Diana) during his first Sade Sati (late 90s/early 2000s). Sade Sati is when Saturn transits the house 12th, 1st, and 2nd from the natal moon. I think it’s just likely that Harry will lose his father during his second Sade Sati, ten plus years from now.
I think the the tarot card “10″ probably refers to October. I think it’s possible/likely that the marriage between Harry & Megs is over in October–at least behind the scenes–but that getting to actually commit that end to paper will take a few more months. Perhaps the total number of months they’re married before the paperwork is finalized and accepted is 10 months.
I’m still betting on an annulment. It would make the situation easier on the BRF long term. She won’t get to keep a title. Harry could marry someone else within the CoE without needing to just get a blessing. Megs would just be something to be forgotten eventually in the UK.
I’m not going to harbor any guesses as to what could or couldn’t come out. Since you mentioned it, I think the UK press doing an article about the merching with Jessica Mulroney is probably a big possibility. Megs will probably be wearing different, expensive, couture ensembles multiple times a day. Writing about the huge cost of her wardrobe for that tour practically writes itself. It’s a 16-day tour. By day 7 the press will already have seen almost half of it. Multiple articles could easily be written. And it will be very easy to point out that Kate works with a much smaller budget.
I know that tarot readers have said that secrets will be revealed–as in things Megs is hiding that Harry doesn’t know about–but I’m not convinced that those are the kinds of things that will instantly come out in the press. It’s certainly possible. But it could be just revealed to Harry and the royal family and not the press at that stage. Perhaps the press just writes about it later. We’ll just have to see.
Here are two of Naomi Tarot’s most recent readings regarding Meghan’s secret.
I think she will. She needs the US tour, a documentary, and some more magazine covers. I also think she’s still trying for a baby.
Megs can’t leave on her own after Christmas. That would make it an automatic annulment. She wouldn’t get to keep her title like she would in a divorce. She would have nothing to negotiate with against the royal family.
I don’t mind people disagreeing with me. I just think that Meghan has ambitions outside the royal sphere, so I don’t think Kate is what she’s measuring herself against. She’s not using the royal yardstick anymore. She was still using it during Wimbledon, but she knows that thanks to her family she can’t meet the royal standards, so now she’s pivoting hard towards celebrity. Her competition is Chrissy Tiger, Posh, Amal, Angeline, and Gwyneth now.
Yeah, but Megs can’t sustain a competition with those celebrities long term.
Oh there are a ton of hypocrisies in the situation that I won’t list because people already know them but the thing that’s most troublesome is that she arrived in their taxpayer funded means of travel despite having no right to. She is not our representative. I love Doria but transparency about the spending of our unelected officials and trust between the public and the royals is a bigger thing than one individual and given that this is the third time in their relationship Harry and Meghan have misused taxpayer funds, I am sighing right now. I hate to be that person that drags everyone back down to earth but royals don’t exist to be cute and adorable. They have a job and as part of that job they have set terms that they have to stick by- letting your relatives who aren’t representatives of the country use taxpayer funded means of travel is not sanctioned and totally inappropriate. It was inappropriate when Chris O’Neill did it in Sweden and I called him out then, so I’m doing it here too.
The only good thing about the cookbook is that it brought publicity to the Grenfell women and helped them tell their stories. Meghan, of course turned the spotlight on herself with the pics, the video and the foreword, but it was still kind of nice that she was willing to highlight the work of the kitchen.
But she ruined all of that now. Doria’s presence will overshadow EVERYTHING. Meghan just made it 100% clear that her goal here wasn’t to help the kitchen. Her goal was to use the Grenfell name to get as much publicity as possible for herself.
At least she’s being honest. She’s not supporting THEM or helping them in their work. THEY are supporting HER and helping her get her dream cookbook published.
Are you kidding right now? It was probably like a two minute car ride! Should Doria have walked?
I can understand if they travelled a long distance, but that car drove like…500 yards… It’s not that deep.
It doesn’t matter if it’s one penny or one million pounds. You don’t get away with misusing public funds just because you could theoretically misuse them in a more serious way. If something’s wrong you don’t excuse it entirely just because the person could have done something more serious. If I stabbed someone and they didn’t die they don’t say “well you could have killed them and you didn’t so we’ll just let you go free with no consequences.” (Yes that is a wildly exaggerated analogy but it works). This is definitely not a big enough deal to overshadow the whole event and I have posted separately about how great I think it was and how much I like this project in general but given that it’s part of a wider pattern of misusing public funds then yes, I’m going to mention it. I mention it when other royals do it so I’m going to mention it now. There is a clear understanding between the British people and the monarchy about what perks they get and what they do in exchange for those perks and this is not sanctioned within that understanding. If you can’t do something without misusing public funds then don’t do it at all. If they were that close, why didn’t they all just walk and avoid this whole drama?
She looked nice, as did the lady with the headscarf and the AMAZING salt-and-pepper tweed coat. And the lady with the black coat and the pearls and belt! OMG, I have coat envy now.
Everyone at that event was better dressed than Meghan.
That’s where their relationship is right now. Charles had to step in and save her wedding. The Sam Cohen “pretty pink princess” makeover was a dud. Her family attacked her all summer long and the brf did nothing. The public doesn’t see her as a real royal.
Meghan is pissed and feeling like a victim right now. She thinks she’s the real star and these people should be doing a better job of protecting her and supporting her, and they are most definitely not doing their job. Thanks to their incompetence her “royal” launch wasn’t the success she expected and she spent most of August in a funk.
But she now sees a light at the end of the tunnel. Now that she has Hamilton and the Grenfell names behind her, she’s feeling like Harry and the brf are maybe not as necessary as she thought, and she can do this on her own, as a celeb and not a royal. She’s not ready to break out yet, after all she still needs that US tour under her belt, but there’s definitely a plan B on the works. Her focus from now on will be promoting herself and Doria, and building up her resume for an eventual break with the brf and a return to the US. To that end she needs (i) the US tour, (ii) some kind of self-produced documentary, (iii) a baby.
“Is there anything shady involving MM and her money?” Tarot Reading – September 17th, 2018
Just pulled some cards to see since there’s been a lot of talk around it and this is what I got.
(KOP, center; QOP, challenge; Judgement, root; Hanged Man, past influences; Eight of Wands, crown; Moon, near-future; Strength (Meghan), feelings/belief; Fool Rx, environment; Justice, hopes/fears; King of Cups (clarifiers: Three of Cups/Five of Wands/Hierophant), outcome/new direction)
YES! YES! YES!
Literally the biggest money cards in the deck, King and Queen of Pentacles, showed up together.
So yes.
Underneath that is the Judgement card, so her shady money dealings have to do with a contract or agreement she made.
I think she did it out of sadness and not being able to spend as much as she wants and be as materialistic as she wants to be (Hanged Man).
I think this was also a quick, run of the mill decision. A “get rich quick” kind of scheme and something done mainly off of her impulse and wanting that desired wealth quickly and fast (Eight of Wands).
This is definitely a secret she’s keeping from the family and the public (Moon).
She was very determined to get this money regardless of how she got it (Strength) (Eight of Wands). She might have used sex or flirting to get it, sidenote (Strength/Eight of Wands).
Whatever she signed or agreement she made, it was a really foolish decision lmao. Like, really dumb. Like, seeing an ad online that’s says “Win a free IPhone by clicking this link” and actually clicking and thinking you’ll get anything but a virus on your computer type of dumb (Fool Rx).
Whatever she did, involves something legal or will affect her legally (Justice). And she did this with a King of Cups man, so a water sign man, or someone she was close too. I think it was one of her friends (Three of Cups) or someone she’s in bed with (the shady corruption term, not literally in bed with). It might be a man with lots of power and influence, and/or wealth (Hierophant). Someone’s who very competitive.
Pulled off top of the deck
(Emperor, Seven of Pentacles Rx, Two of Pentacles, Tower Rx, Knight of Wands (Meghan), Temperance Rx, Nine of Cups, Hermit Rx (Harry), Sun Rx (Meghan), Two of Cups Rx)
This man that’s involved (Emperor) is upset that he’s not getting his end of whatever deal they had (Seven of Pentacles Rx).
Meghan’s trying really hard to keep this from coming out (Tower Rx) and is juggling this and her other “life” stuff (Two of Pentacles).
Meghan (Knight of Wands) knows if this came out and this scandal broke (Temperance Rx), it would cause a lot of instability and disorder and mess up her happiness (Nine of Cups) and bring her bad luck and misfortune.
She also knows that if this come out and/or is found out, it would destroy Harry (Hermit Rx) and hers (Sun Rx) relationship (Two of Cups Rx) and the trust would be out the window.
“Will her shady money dealings ever come out to the mainstream press?”
(Seven of Wands Rx, center; Queen of Wands Rx (Meghan), challenge; Nine of Swords Rx, root; Six of Swords, past influences; Four of Wands, crown; Star, near-future; Six of Cups, feelings/belief; Four of Cups, environment; Four of Pentacles, hopes/fears; Page of Wands Rx, outcome/new direction;)
Three of Swords fell out while shuffling
I think it will come out (Six of Swords) (Star). I think it will come out honestly because Meghan (Queen of Wands Rx) gives up on trying to stop it (Seven od Wands Rx) and she does something that triggers/angers the person with “the key” to the info. and that person spills (Star). Literally the Star card is cups pouring over lol. Seven of Wands Rx is also a scandal and bad gossip card, so yep it will come out.
It will break a lot of the relationships she has with people (Three of Swords).
I feel like it will be released either while she’s at home (Four of Wands) or during a normally good time like a party or celebration of some sort. It will probably be the UK press that drop it.
Meghan’s very worried and gets very worked up over it coming out (Nine of Swords). It might be while she is at a charity or someone from her past or someone she has a history with (Six of Cups). I think she’s disillusioned into thinking they would never release anything bad on her because of her status now (Four of Cups).
The press like I’ve said before is sitting on this, waiting for the right time to drop it (Four of Pentacles). But it will come out (Page of Wands Rx) and considering all the Wands I’d say soon and maybe in spring. If not then, next 3-6 months. March or June. Sorry timing can be hard to predict.
Knight of Cups Rx, Ace of Pentacles Rx, Page of Cups, Nine of Wands Rx, Knight of Pentacles Rx (Harry), Devil Rx, Two of Swords Rx, World
I think a man she knew or someone she knew and has a history with will spin the beans for money (Knight of Cups Rx) (Ace of Pentacles Rx).
This announcement (Page of Cups) will bring a lot of people to distrust her and give her a lot of paranoia (Nine of Wands Rx).
This will cause Harry (Kn. of Pen. Rx) to fully realize and wake up from the illusion he likes to sleep in regarding this relationship (Devil Rx).
It will cause Meghan and/or Harry to gk emotionally turmoil and feel a trapped like hysteria (Two of Swords Rx) when this breaks (World) and it will get lots of coverage.
This is what I got guys. Hope you guys enjoy it. Send feedback and requests as always. -TT
I’m not going to get my expectations up about October at this point. Money laundering is really hard to prove in newspaper articles, particularly since no one can order the royal books open for review, even after what happened with Air Miles Andy.
It’s so disappointing. People in the UK might buy it to support the Grenfell victims. People in the US will probably only buy it if they’re Meghan fans. The only person who truly wins is Meghan in this scenario since she has “HRH Duchess of Sussex” in a very, visible font on the cover with her picture.
The real goal should be helping these people get into permanent housing to help their families, not perpetuate their temporary living conditions.
