You too? That bothered the hell out of me I thought I was the only one. I dont think her name or title should be anywhere on the front. That’s why people are thinking it’s her damn book.
OMG, she convinced some hapless charity to put together an expensive cookbook, took credit for the whole thing, wrote a THREE PAGE foreword because she thinks she’s Anthony Bourdain, and is now hosting a COOKING SHOW in KP, just like the one she pitched to HGTV with Lindsay.
This is hilarious, I’ve never seen a royal so obviously use a charity as a vanity project. This woman is amazing.
The foreword…OMG.
“Keeping the global spirit of community alive…” LOLOLOLOL. She can’t just sponsor a charity cookbook, she has to have some grandiose mission behind it.
The word salad is EPIC!!! A “Passport on a Plate…” I’m dying.
BTW, that’s the paragraph that allows her to spend half the foreword talking about herself, including laying out her entire resume in one paragraph.
Seriously, six out of fourteen full paragraphs (I’m counting the one-sentence anecdotes separated by asterisks as one paragraph) are about her, and FIVE paragraphs start with “I” – “I was setting in,” “I recently watched,” “I asked,” “I have a lifelong interest,” and “I’ve spent many years.
I haven’t stopped laughing. THIS is why I have a blog following this woman. I wake up on Monday morning already missing my weekend and dreading the first day of the week like Garfield the Cat, and then I see something like this in my notifications. Holy hell. “Passport on a Plate…” LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
So her secrect visits have been for a photoshoot to go along with a cookbook. If all the profits weren’t going to the Grenfell community I would be side eyeing this book.
Yes this was a vist or two for the photos. One Kate striped shirt, one white button down that’s actually unbuttoned inappropriately. This reminds me of her India visit.
Sweet salty pickled cheetos! Wakey wakey Houseplantfan. It’s a COOKBOOK! Her big charity unveil is a FRIGGIN COOKBOOK and her contribution is a photoshoot and a 3-page FORESALAD excuse for a foreword. THREE PAGES of word salad ABOUT HERSELF!
LOL Omg you couldn’t make this underwhelming shit up. Not to mention the proceeds go to, “help support communities through cooking and sharing food” That is the shadiest excuse for an explanation as to where the profits will go I’ve seen in a long time. And slapped RIGHT on the cover of the book. So the money will go to mentally and physically scarred people without permanent housing cooking? Okay Meg. Cool. LOL. ½ assed doesn’t even cover this wreckage.
Mio posted al three pages too. I wonder if Meghan will sue him?
I’m baffled by the purpose of this project. At first I thought that the money would go to the survivors to help then relive their life, but, no. It’s going to the kitchen so it can expand to seven days a week and to similar projects. Isn’t the ultimate goal to have people NOT need the kitchen because they have their homes? Are the Grenfell survivors still living in hotels? If so, shouldn’t they be helping them to move into homes? Are they expecting to stay homeless forever? Is that why they need the community kitchen open every day? Shouldn’t that be a national scandal?
The Duchess of Sussex has helped the Hubb community kitchen, set up by women affected by the Grenfell Tower, tragedy release a charity cookbook called Together, Our Community Cookbook.
Legend:PeptoBismolishPeach™ for Meg (y’know, trooping outfit, the Nurse Ratched penchant for colour schemes) and BabyBlue™ for Kate (‘cause girl sure likes her blue).
About: Number of times they’ve mentioned SpecificShit™.
Notes: Please to note that Meg’s Foreword™ consists of roughly 17 paragraphs and 5 pointless bullet points spread over 3 pages. Kate’s was a total of 1 page and 4 paragraphs. So… with that in mind…
I’ll play nice. I may have missed one or two because I did everything in my power not to read that. Her word salad is like watching spongebob, it kills brain cells literally.
I know! We haven’t seen mudslinging like this since the War of the Wales. People are comparing the brf to Scientology!
I see the Meg fans are working themselves into a froth over Kate’s (admittedly modest) patronage track record. They seem to think this is still a competition. That’s adorable.
Yes, there was a chance Meghan would be able to bury the nude pics, sex scenes, ditched boyfriends, etc… under a stellar charity record, but, thanks to her family and her own crap decisions this summer, that is no longer the case. For some bizarre reason she decided to counter her family’s attack with tons of couture fashion ops with the royal family instead of focusing on her charity work. Now she’s going on another huge fashion show down under.
Even if she went on a huge charity spree, she still wouldn’t be able to make up for the huge family drama, million-dollar wardrobe, and lack of UK brands. And, let’s face it, there is no huge charity spree coming up. She could have (and SHOULD HAVE) done that this month, but decided to hype up her tour fashion instead. The only events where she has looked happy have been the ones with royals or celebs. Her trademark look during charity visits is “wtf am I doing here.”
Meghan isn’t interested in the charity part. She built enough of a resume to bamboozle people into giving her this position and now she’s done with it. She’s interested in fashion and celebs and that will be her focus from now on. Yes, she’ll do enough work to meet the minimum requirements, but that’s it. This is what she has done in every single job she has had. That’s why the blog was so freaking half-assed.
She’ll probably step up the charity stuff in a year or so, when she starts getting antsy and looking for an exit.
Oh, I think your’re right, but at the time I was completely taken in by his pr.
If you look at my early posts, I was completely convinced that there had to be some blackmail/fauxmance arrangement going on. I simply could not picture a royal willingly doing such obvious Soho House/NBC/etc… merching. Suits was using the relationship as promo! Meghan was pap-walking two, sometimes THREE, times a week! She was selling “Harry” necklaces and rings! She was doing DM “date” articles for her blog sponsors!
I still can’t believe he did it. This was Instagram model level stuff. Have some pride, dude!
No idea. Every time I think I know what stupid thing is going to happen next, I learn there’s more stuff. I thought her sex tape and more nudes were going to come out and cause trouble this summer, and instead it was her father.
I’m also not sure that we’ll find out publicly. Perhaps it’s just Harry and the royal family who finds this thing out, and it’s not published at the time…?
Meh. The alleged, college first marriage wouldn’t change anything at this point.
Megs isn’t older than she claims that one is old news from 8-9 months ago when people would freak out about her 8th grade graduation photos because they didn’t realize that some schools in the US do 8th grade graduations. Her birth certificate with her birth time was verified by astrologers. Megs hasn’t lied about her age. Get over it. Sounds like stupid, conspiracy theories by people who don’t understand how birth certificates work in the USA.
Oh, I’m sure the BRF has said “no” to those two multiple times. People just don’t stop and realize that they let Harry get married in a rushed manner because he was probably threatening to go all Diana in the UK tabloids if he didn’t get his way. That would have been a huge scandal, so they let him have what he wanted.
He got his way, and now those two dunderheads have to behave like proper royals. That’s the department Megsy is truly struggling in. She said she wanted to hit the ground running, but so far she hasn’t even announced a patronage. She hasn’t done a solo engagement.
She is, however, able to manage painful smiles when surrounded by sick kids though.
I’m sure Charles will arrange for her to get some money, basically to keep her mouth shut. They already know she’s a loose cannon and is not someone to be trusted. I’m sure there will be a very tight non-disclosure agreement signed before they kick her out the door.
I only remember the Madonna-flag picture from an MTV “Rock the Vote” campaign.
I think if she did anything with the Union Jack, she’d look like a Spice Girl.
Megs just doesn’t excel at looking royal. I think she’s always going to look trashy because she just doesn’t have good taste. And all she really wants is $$$.
I think you are mostly right. I do, however, believe that she will show up at charity events, at least at the beginning. It’s part of her Diana persona.
I think she’d leave with a daughter, but I’m starting to wonder about that part. She doesn’t seem to be in any kind of hurry on that department.
But I still stand by my 2-year prediction, which is based on her career track record so far (as chronicled in her blogs). Meghan is really good at selling herself and “booking” a part (Stage 1). That was the “Everyone Loves Classy” pr drive. Once she gets it she always underperforms, focusing on fripperies instead of substance, creating drama, and sucking up enormous amounts of resources from the unlucky folks that hired her. That’s Stage 2, and it’s the stage we are in right now. Stage 3 is when the employer stops investing on her and she gets jealous and restive and starts looking for something else. I think we are now entering Stage 3 and it will extend into next year. Stage 4 is when she finds a new project and starts the “booking” cycle all over again.
I know a lot of people think her new project will be a man, but I doubt it. I think it will be a “breaking free” post-divorce Di storyline where she divorces Harry, writes a “Becoming Meghan” book, and goes back to Worldvision and the UN as an inspirational speaker. She’ll eventually enter into a fauxmance to keep the storyline going, but that will come later.
I know I get a lot of pushback on this because her situation seems so unstoppable right now–free house and clothes, security, helis, press. However, the press attention will eventually flag, leaving only the snarky UK tabs still interested in her. The family will get progressively more annoyed at all the drama, and Harry’s position will get weaker and weaker, resulting in less privileges.
Keep in mind that Soho House and the other sponsors will still provide free housing and clothing after a divorce. In addition, a kid would ensure several more years of free security. The only things she would be truly giving up are the helis and the palace staff (who she will probably come to detest by the time the end comes).
I agree with a lot of this, but I don’t think she’s going to have a “breaking free” post-divorce story.
I think the general public (as opposed to her rabid fans and equally rabid haters) had positive feelings toward Meghan because they felt that (i) Harry loved her, (ii) she had actually worked for a living, and (iii) people were genuinely excited to see a racial minority join the royal family. I think they were willing to overlook the social climbing and Diana worship rumors due to those two things.
So I think she really shot herself in the foot when she decided to start her royal career with a slew of events that highlighted her ambitious social climbing and Diana obsession (royal appearances and tours, couture fashion, family drama, and celebrity friends). It’s almost like she was going out of her way to prove the haters right.
Nah I think it’s to stop the focus on everything else. The baby rumors are good for her. The bad thing are all of the tarot card readings, the story about her not knowing who to trust, the JM parenting, the who’s next in the markle effect curse. Those are not good. Again I’m confused about why only one pic was taken.
Yeah I’m thinking it’s from the vanity fair pheasant roll out from last year. If it’s from Alexi he did a lot of photoshop including making her look darker than she was at the time of the engagement pics were taken. You I had this weird thought that maybe JM and Rachel agreed to leak it to get the bad press that she was getting yesterday. It wouldn’t benefit jess but it would change the subject from a lot of questionable activities between Rachel and her subjects. Again. Why only one pic?
so lonely Meghan beat goes on. her fav mouth piece (well after Lainey) Tom Sykes tells us the details of her lonely life. I can’t decide if this is a sympathy ploy or a reason for the divorce prep story but her pr sure is pushing it. What do you think?
I’m not sure what the DoSex are doing. Frankly, this is what I was expecting Harry and Meghan to do this month–big charity launches that fit their individual interests, including a big solo project for Meghan. I’m very happy that Will and Kate are stepping up their mental health and children’s health work and creating these initiatives, but where are the Harkles?
I think when Harry’s done with something, he’s done. He has his Mars in Scorpio. That’s a water sign. So think about how long it takes a pot to get to a boil. It takes a while for it to get hot enough to boil, but once water reaches it’s boiling point, it retains heat quite well. Same thing really.
But some other things to consider. Why do you assume if they start paperwork with lawyers that it will take months instead of weeks? Any paperwork, such as an annulment, would still have to be submitted and approved to a divorce court in the UK. That would still take some time, but if it were to be submitted in January I would expect it would only take around 6-8 weeks to be accepted (i.e. finished/approved).
I’ve seen other people reference Charles & Diana’s separation and divorce, but yet people don’t consider the differences: C&D were married for more than 10 years before a separation was announced, they had children and custody to consider, Charles future position as head of CoE and king, and two very public figures with one more popular than the other. There was a lot to negotiate between Charles and Diana. Both of them were power players. None of these things apply to Harry and Megs.
There are no children, and there quite likely will never be any children. There are no joint assets, such as properties since those are held in a trust as I understand it. Harry’s money is also in a trust, and therefore out of Megs reach. There is no lengthy marriage. Only one of them is a citizen of the UK. Only one of these people is very popular in the UK, and his popularity has decreased since his marriage. As AHPF noted recently, Megs hasn’t been able to sustain a high pr visibility as she’s done previously; interest in her is lagging. Megs can’t do a solo engagement on her own, and at this point it doesn’t look like she ever will. She’s really not a strong public figure in the UK. She’s likely not going to attract a great lawyer for her side (unlike Diana) to compete with Harry. She doesn’t have anything to negotiate with.
So given all that, you have to be married for a full year to file for divorce in the UK. If Harry decides it’s over in the next few months and legal paperwork is started in January, why would they be waiting until May 20 to file divorce paperwork? Cui bono? Ask yourself, how does that benefit Harry and the royal family? It doesn’t. Which is why they wouldn’t.
Lmao. That’s why when you guys ask for what her secrets about its hard to know for sure because looking for her secrets is like going in a pot and looking for one specific piece of gold, there’s so many of them it’s hard to pin down.
The difference between having a surrogate carry her baby (because Megs can’t do it) and her merching & pr extravaganza is HUGE. Like, how would they hide it? Megs wouldn’t be pregnant and people would notice. Do you really think she would be able to gain that much weight to convince people she’s pregnant? She’s tiny. If she were truly pregnant, then it would be obvious. Then what are you going to do with the surrogate? Like, no one she knows would notice that she had a baby and doesn’t have it? Like, people wouldn’t possibly talk and then go to the tabloids? This would be a HUGE firestorm in the UK.
Look at that last line there: “Surrogacy contracts aren’t enforced by UK law, even if you’ve signed a deal with your surrogate and have paid for her expenses.” It is NOT a legally enforceable contract. Surrogate is legally able to keep the kid if she wants.
NO WAY would Charles or the Queen give the okay for this to be done. What do you think would happen if the surrogate mother decided she wanted to keep the baby? SCANDAL!! And one that would get maximum visibility.
@princeharryconfessions maybe its 7 months. Idk how this crap works, I’m just here for those tags.
Well, it’s nice to read a professional Vedic astrologer basically saying straight out that these two dunderheads are not compatible with each other for marriage. He applied multiple techniques, and they were not compatible with any of them.
Regarding the “seven-year-itch” technique, I think it’s important to remember that there are hundreds or thousands of techniques in Vedic astrology. So while that technique worked for Charles’ marriage, I’m not so sure it automatically works for Harry.
I think it’s also important to take into account some of the transits that I mentioned previously here, which this guy did not do but Joni Patry (another Vedic & Western astrologer) did. Joni literally spent a minute or two politely talking about how Megs was and currently is delusional about her current marriage. Literally. It’s in that video I posted.
I think it’s significant that Venus goes retrograde on October 5 less than 3 degrees away from Harry’s Saturn. Plus Harry begins his Rahu-Venus dasha on October 17, which is the sub-period of a debilitated planet, Venus in this case, that is the karaka (indicator) of marriage. Venus becomes combust the Sun in the sky astrologically a few days later, about October 21st; although, depending upon the degree range you give for Venus being combust the Sun, some people may consider it to happen earlier. Anyhow, when you can’t see a planet–in this case Venus–in the sky because it’s combust, it is said to affect the domains it represents such as love and marriage. Conveniently, Venus will be combust (”burning up”) while Harry & Megs are on their overseas tour. That’s not exactly favorable.
On top of that, we have Jupiter moving from Libra to Scorpio (sidereal zodiac) on October 11th. One, that’s Harry’s ascendant lord (Jupiter) in the 12th house. That is a change from a more social sign & house (Libra/11th/friends, increase, gains, & achievement) to a moksha house (”liberation from karmic bondage” but also often signifying any type of loss). Two, Scorpio is often known as the sign of hidden things, so we should expect Jupiter’s placement to shine a light on hidden things while it’s there. So any secrets of Meghan that will/could be exposed will likely happen after October 11th. If it happens to deal with her ability to have children, then this will make sense since Jupiter will be transiting her 5th house, which deals with children.
Venus goes direct on November 16th, but then Mercury goes retrograde the very next day on the 17th. I always consider Mercury retrograde to be a stressful time for people in general, and this time it will be happening in Scorpio in Harry’s 12th and Meghan’s 5th houses. Could secrets be spilled at this time? Possibly. Mercury goes direct on December 6th, same day as the new moon. So probably stressful times until then.
I still have yet to read or see an example of a professional astrologer commenting on how Megs fits into Harry’s birth chart, not navamsha (marriage) chart. I don’t think she’s really represented there. I still think if this marriage was going to last even seven years that she would be represented more significantly. I don’t think Megs fits his birth chart if you do read Harry’s chart from his 7th house but maybe that’s just me.
But anyway, by Halloween, we’ll have an idea how this is going to go.
I don’t think Charles is going to shell out money for a surrogate. Harry is likely not going to pay for it since he depends on his father. The Queen isn’t going to approve of using a surrogate either.
If she really did use a surrogate, then it would pose problems with how to hide it from the press. Because legally in the UK, Megs would not be the mother of the child. It would be a huge scandal for the monarchy if discovered. Charles and the Queen both know this, which is why Charles will never shell money out for it.
I personally don’t think she can bring a baby to term. Could she conceive with the help of some artificial reproductive technology such as IVF? Possibly. Bu I don’t think she would be able to maintain it. Just my opinion. I’m sure she will try for a variety of reasons. I don’t think the surrogacy thing is going to float with the Queen though. Or Charles. The legal reasons in the UK have already been mentioned, and I’m sure that’s why the Queen particularly and Charles would not pay for it.
But yes, she’s definitely nothing without him. She has more to lose than he does if–actually when–this thing unravels. Harry will always be a royal; she will not.
I think the hardcore sugars are here to stay, and I expect they will get more and more rabid as Meghan flounders. That has been my experience so far.
I suspect the tour will be meh, but I doubt the media will report that she “needs major help.” Her problem isn’t that she can’t show up and shake hands. Her problem is that the planned tour stops mind-numbingly boring, the clothes are repetitive, monochrome and ill-fitting, and all she does is hold hands with Harry and pose. Yes, there’s always a chance that there will be a major disaster, but I doubt that as they will be surrounded by people whose main job is to keep that from happening. I think their main problem is boredom. Meghan is by far the most repetitive royal I have ever seen, and I used to bitch about Kate’s lace dresses nonstop.
When I think of what made Will and Kate’s first tour (to Canada) amazing, I remember how Kate picked Prince Edward Island based on the Anne of Green Gables books, and how professional she looked in her navy Smythe blazer (Canadian brand!) as they boarded the plane. The Cambridges positively embraced the official events, attending a citizenship ceremony, Canada Day, and the Calgary Stampede. Kate looked amazing in her recycled engagement dress and red maple leaf hat and she rocked the maple leaf brooch like nobody’s business. She wore Canadian Erdem freaking everywhere (tbh, they weren’t that bad back then), posed with Anne of Green Gables, and even dressed up like a Calgary cowboy.
Yes, they had cute couple moments at the helicopter training, the French cooking classes in Quebec, and the sea dragon race, but what I remember most about this tour was that it was a celebration of Canada, including its natural beauty, history, and diversity. LOL, and the “Marilyn moment,” of course.
Kate launched her tour with a bang, with sources telling the DM that she’s personally chosen Prince Edward’s Island because she loved the Anne books. I remember this causing quite a stir at the time and this is still one my favorite parts of their Canada tour.
It’s a stark contrast to the Harkle schedule release, which left people scratching their heads as to why they’d picked some of the stops and why they were skipping out on Invictus. I’ve been wondering why I have such a strong feeling that this tour will be a dud, and I think the underwhelming release of the schedule is part of it. This does not feel like a celebration of Australia, or event the Commonwealth. It feels like a celebration of Meghan and Harry.
Um, no. Zika didn’t become epidemic until 2015 in Brazil, and the connection to microencephaly wasn’t discovered until 2016, mainly because you needed a HUGE epidemic to get enough cases to make the connection clear. They still don’t know why it causes the microencephaly or what other effects it (or other mosquito borne diseases) may have on an unborn child.
As a former resident of a Zika zone, I know these mosquito-borne viruses are difficult to predict. They will be dormant for years and then become epidemic and develop new traits. Dengue, for example, is usually a strong flu, but I had a cousin who almost died from a hemorrhagic dengue strain in the 80s. Chinkungunya is usually just a bad cold, but my aunt is still dealing with chronic arthritic paralysis from a weirdo strain that hit my hometown in the 2000s. Zika is usually a slight fever, but I have another cousin who ended up with Guillain Barre syndrome after infection, a side-effect that is even rarer than microenchephaly.
The incidence of side-effects like microenchephaly, Guillain Barre, and chronic arthralgia is often cited as a few thousand out of a million. That sounds small, but when you are dealing with a mosquito-borne disease epidemic EVERYONE gets it and the cases pile up quickly.
Yeah, if you live there, you kind of suck it up and deal with the risk as best you can, but no one thinks of it as “first world hype.” Yes, the diseases are a way of life in the tropics, like tropical storms. But we all know there’s a risk that this will be year that It’s not just a storm, but a category 5 hurricane that destroys everything. Likewise, we all know that there’s risk that our loved one will be the unlucky someone who gets internal bleeding, paralysis, or congenital deformations, instead of the annoying cold everyone else got.
