Well, Scotland isn’t Ireland by any stretch of the imagination. I don’t care how Celtic it may be. It’s a different country. They were also the only UK designer she wore, no?
The tour is over, but they may do a photo at the airport saying goodbye. I’m kind of shocked that there wasn’t even one Irish designer. I thought that was a given and the tabs and People were making lists of designers that she may choose.
They are not supposed to do press releases or social media announcements. They are not supposed to use the royal family for press. They are doing it anyway.
Pt 2 She is now emphasizing her breasts (padded bra for sure) tight around the torso. Sex pot Meghan. Stuff she is now wearing suits her shape much better. But can she sustain this – she needs to give them a lot of press to justify the costs. And her inability to walk is still a problem. Harry is conspicuously looking at her feet all the time fear of her falling out of the shoes. Express even had an article about her inability to walk. She needs to get shoes she can walk in.
I prefer a padded bra to seeing her nipples when she’s braless. Small mercies.
But this Roland Mouret dress doesn’t exactly look like it fits on top. It’s not smooth on top, kind of wrinkled. Looks like it needs to be pulled down or adjusted in some places. The color on her doesn’t help either. Kind of a washout.
And this suit looks pretty basic on her. I don’t understand how Givenchy justifies giving her this. It doesn’t look like a couture house suit with that scoop neck, at least to me.
Why the pumps on an athletic field? I will never understand this.
I think the merching anon is right. They have to dress for the season that is being marketed (i.e., next season) and not the one at hand. Thus, summer clothes in spring and fall clothes in summer.
Which do you think it is, Plant? Do you think she randomly chooses an outfit without thinking about the event, or does she think about the event and deliberately chooses something that will be inappropriate? I thought she looked good today for another, different, event. And she should have padded the front of her dress to tamp down the permanent high beams. Instead she wants to emphasize them, with the tight top and her posture. Harry is also clearly trying not to hold hands with her, but she keeps doing it. Pretty certain he told her to put her dress back on her shoulders in the carriage at Trooping, too, but she refused. In one shot, he’s looking at her shoulders in dismay and she looks absolutely stubborn, looking straight ahead with her chin in the air. Tungsten seems to have problems with rules and authority, which could be why the Suits people were so frustrated with her as well.
Thanks for sending this in!. I suspect she doesn’t have the “feel” for this kind of events. When you’ve attended weddings and funerals your entire life (even as a member of the middle and/or upper classes) you have a feel for what is and isn’t appropriate. Ditto if you’ve been watching these events on television all your life.
Meghan hasn’t done that. She was raised in a hippie household and likely never attended formal events. This was probably her first baby christening EVER. it was definitely her first military event. The Spencer wedding was her first country wedding. She just doesn’t have a feel for it.
All of the Royal family are wearing RAF wings in honor of the occasion except Megsy. Make it obvious she ain’t really a royal.. But that isn’t the reason – she is as always merching and just as she could not wear the badge at ascot she cannot wear any brooch or the wings on this dress. The contract would specify nothing obscures the dress – no necklace brooch security badge etc. Hence she passes on the RAF wings which after all is the point of being at this service to honor the RAF except of course for Megsy who is there to merch.
And yes – since everything she wears is merching she is always a season ahead out of synch. Drab olive suede shoes dress etc yesterday a fall/winter dress today cause she is merching and they are selling the fall stuff now.
Thanks! Are the wings something you have to earn, or can anyone wear them?
It doesn’t matter. They have to pretend they are paying for it, as they are not supposed to be getting freebies. It all goes on her total at the end of the year.
She has not delivered on the fashion stakes at all, which is bizarre because she has spent a shitload of money and gotten most everything custom. I think the GOAT dress and the Lady Gaga dress were the only off-the-rack looks, other than the casual polo outfits.
I was expecting her to pic one coherent look and one designer and build her “uniform” so to speak. Instead she has been all over the place. She started with black pants before the wedding, then went into demure pinks with tons of buttons and tablecloth corners and stuff, and now she’s going into severe shapes in colors. She went from messy bun, to messy waves, to actually looking like she brushed her hair now. She went from natural look, to dewy ingenue, to bronzer queen. She is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Plus she has barely any UK designers and she is spending tons of moolah.
Kate, weirdly enough, is the one who settled on one uniform (the McQueen coat dress), which she just keeps wearing to death. She is turning into HM. I suspect she was always heading this way, but now it is more noticeable. I think the contrast with Meghan fast-tracked this.
Yup. This relationship has clearly sunk after their honeymoon, regardless of wherever they did or did not go.
It wouldn’t surprise me if some super crazy shit happened between 22 July and 4 August, but particularly between 25 and 28 July because I have a wedding to go to and will miss possible said crazy shit. Like, it wouldn’t surprise me if it would happen when I can’t enjoy it. Murphy’s law and all.
It also wouldn’t surprise me if Harry decides he’s over it in the fall and decides to go for an annulment. Divorce in the UK is much tougher to get than in the USA. There’s only FIVE reasons available when filing for divorce.
Prince Fuck-Up has got to continue his current trend of fucking up…
I think they’ve had a pretty good record with Meghan, in the sense that when they say something will drop, it usually drops. The caveat is that sometimes it drops a year later, and sometimes it’s totally underwhelming. For example, the Snapchat nude got covered up as photoshop, the topless honeymoon pics were covered up as a doppelgänger, the topless Greece pics were covered up as fake, etc…
Likewise, Blind Gossip got the Stella dress sort of right, but it wasn’t the actual wedding gown, and the damaging information that the friends were selling to the tabloids right after the relationship got out didn’t drop until after the engagement.
I’d say they are a good 7-8 on general accuracy and a 3-4 on timing and impact.
They’ve been saying for a while that there are two big things yet to drop: (i) more nudes, including a video, and (ii) a Heather Mills-type expose about her yatching. My bet is that they do have something, but nowhere near as inflammatory as they claim. Definitely not something worth 8 figures. Maybe it’s the rest of that Snapchat video and a couple of Deal or No Deal girls telling stories. Something like that. Her sugars will probably go “but everyone masturbates on SnapChat and has sugar daddies in their twenties” because that’s how they roll.
From what they’ve been saying, the people holding the information are trying to get as much money as they can. They aren’t just out to hurt Meghan, they want cash. That’s likely why nothing has come out. They think they are sitting on a gold mine and they are probably sitting on $20k worth of blackmail money or something like that.
Will it ever come out? Your guess is as good as mine. The Heather Mills stuff took YEARS.
The media and social media landscape has changed a lot in the last 10+ years since Heather Mills though…
what struck me about it is she wants to leave. And that reminded me of the story from Cory’s friend that she snubs/ignores people who are not important can’t do anything for her. That seems to me to be what is happening here – she got her photo op these folks can’t do anything more now to advance her agenda so she wants to go. She is bored now. It ain’t about her. Harry though is working so he is not running off. I bet it bothers her that people want to talk to Harry she isn’t the star. This may explain all the early leaving of events.
She also has no idea what to say or do that may be why she stays plastered on to Harry.
Thanks for sending this in! She just seems so, so fake to me.
Honestly, the only period when they were all smiles, imo, was between the engagement and Sandringham. Then they looked briefly happy (in a pharmaceutical kind of way) during the wedding. Other than that they’ve always looked kind of stressed and forced.
No one is going to pay 10 million dollars. NO ONE.
I want this to be real, but seriously? They are asking for $10 mil and plan to put it on PAY PER VIEW????
I suspect the 8 figures is more of a negotiating tactic to get as much $$$ as possible. I doubt the royal family would even pay if they were asking for 5 figures.
The royal family as a whole can plan the dumb card though. Except for Megs. Depending on what’s released, maybe Harry.
Her boobs don’t look any bigger. Boobs increase before the lower abdomen does with pregnancy. People seem to forget this due to the Cult of Bump Watch.
Tell me about the. The “humanitarian” label has bothered me since the beginning because she did a week of charity work every year for three years. That was it. Sure, she got a big video for her speech and two glam photoshoots, but THAT WAS IT. About thirty days of work and she’s freaking Mother Theresa.
The only other charity activities they can point to are the school assignments and her sorority activities. I don’t understand how they can hype that as huge humanitarian achievements, and I definitely don’t understand how it’s supposed to have impressed the Queen and the BRF. That skimpy charity resume won’t even get you an MBE, let alone a freaking tiara and “People’s Princess” status.
YES! And it would be one thing if she were actually good at the job, but she isn’t. Yet, here she is patting HM and Harry on the back as if she could judge their job performance.
I don’t think she sold “access.” Harry doesn’t have that kind of pull. I used to track how much money she was making, but I stopped when it reached six figures in April 2017.
And I do think that’s partly why the Markles feel entitled to sell pics and interviews. Meghan did the same while she was dating Harry, so they feel the BRF doesn’t have a right to get snotty about it. She gave US Weekly a “Harry hates Trump” story full of sources detailing H’s political thoughts, so they don’t see why everyone is so upset that they are doing the same.
We had an anon last week who said she would probably switch to bright colors now because Season 1 was Meghan being super serious and trying to do a good job in black, Season 2 was Meghan being “in love” and trying to fit in in pink, and now Season 3 is Meghan breaking out the bright colors because now she is confident and a seasoned royal. I suspect that anon is right.
Can you imagine the shitstorm if her father actually did die this summer while this is already going on? You know, it’s already a new celebrity death every day…
Petty Piers is out in force…. Ah it isn’t just Piers. Markle was allegedly warned by Mischa Nonoo that the tabs would destroy her. Markle ignored that warning. Typical narc – incapable of thinking they can be defeated and always thinking they are the smartest one in the room. The Sun, The Telegraph and the DM especially but all of the tabs knew what the real nature of MM and PH’s relationship was – that it was 90% fake that when he became engaged he barely knew her and had spent little time with her. After all they were accepting the releases from her several pr firms and publishing them and they were collaborating with her in the merching and making money off it too. They knew how the pics were being taken that she called the paps. They knew when the pics were old pics being released as current. They knew exactly what was going on.
Markle has simultaneously also underestimated and overestimated the power of the RF. She thinks Harry can protect her from the media. No he can’t. The RF could to some extent but not Harry on his own and not for long. The tabs know her dirt but the 11/16 statement kept them from unloading right away. Now they have had an additional year and a half to collect more info. They will use it. Probably when she stops making clicks and money for them. Piers is just toying with her now. Interviews are being done. Lies will be exposed. The DM warned her and the RF that there would be unexpected and unwelcome revelations after a marriage. Piers is the least of her worries. There is the US media too. It is all a matter of timing.
Thanks for sending this in! There may very well be further tab revelations coming down the pike, but I think her own behavior will sink her. Right now, the coverage is all about her “new” posh accents. Soon, we will go back to the ridiculous spending and then her family will come up again. We will probably have something political come up during the tours. It just keeps piling up.
I think the lies will be exposed, but I think it will be because of her own behavior. She’s not a charity-oriented International Relations person who reluctantly gave up her dream of becoming the next Madeleine Albright so she could do sexy poses in Deal or No Deal. She’s a fame-hungry actress who was willing to do anything to secure those People covers and who early on realized that Harry was her ticket to a life of endless publicity and luxury. This becomes clearer every single day.
I don’t know that I would expect the US media to do much on the Markle debacle. Yeah, sure, they’ll cover it. But she PALES in comparison to the everyday disaster of Trump.
It’s amazing to me that she’s wiling to take Byrony Gordon to lunch in order to get absolutely zero good press because Byrony is already in Harry’s pocket, but she’s not willing to go to Mexico to visit her dad to avoid bucketloads of bad press.
So, does the fact that she’s taking a journalist out to lunch mean that money for her pr agency budget is falling low?
