Yup. Some comments on Meghan are nasty and certainly should not be encouraged. But liking her should not be a requirement. She is just not royal-like from any angle. And the worst part is she doesn’t even seem to be trying. Seems like she is following her husband’s footsteps in becoming a Hollywood royal.
What I find very frustrating about her is that, she never, ever, ever seems focused on just “being” at an event. She’s always looking around, focusing on what Harry’s doing so she can copy his every move. She’s constantly looking around, trying to present herself in a different way than what I believe is natural. She always looks as if she’s trying to plan her next move, and/or trying to alter her personality to fit into wherever she’s at and whoever she’s with, and it’s incredibly disconcerting and a primary trait of someone with narcissistic personality disorder.
Kate’s personality was fairly consistent from the time we were introduced to her when she and William were just dating, she’s obviously matured as we met her when she was pretty young when she was at school, unmarried, without children, even Diana, someone I dislike had her own personality and she was 19 when she wed Charles, but Meghan’s nearly 40-year old divorcée and a woman with an established career and doesn’t appear to have a single shred of her own personality and seems to survive off social cues to dictate her every move.
2_SUGARS. They’re not having fun. They are probably pumping each other up in private while expressing anxiety in pms. They are a fandom – we all know how those work. They wanted to see Harry Meghan do the Cambridge stuff, make appearances, interact, be playful together, laugh together. The Cambridges didn’t cling but were clearly a unit.
3_The Sugars are not having fun because the pda with Harry and Meghan is “off” and they know it. There is no eye contact, no he says something and she laughs, she says something back and he laughs, people around them enjoying it. It’s weird. Sugars are looking for their romantic “fix” and it’s not there. Every time they have an appearance Sugars hope they’ll get more but it’s always the same.
4_so I know they are disappointed. The politics of fandom mean they can’t admit it to the whole fandom, but you know little clusters of them worry among themselves. Added to which her fashion fails, and the rest of the RF giving them the Big Chill, this is not playing as they expected.
5_Sugars may play the race card, but that would only work if Meghan truly looked great, but her looks were being picked apart anyway. Or if she were clearly doing a stellar job but getting unfairly dinged for not being robotically perfect. However, Meghan is a hot mess and they can see it for themselves, both fashion and job performance. So they are left with spinning themselves.
I can’t speak as to the politics of fandom, but I do think Meghan set some expectations that she cannot hope to meet now. That’s part of the problem.
Another part of the problem is that Meghan is “getting” stuff based on absolutely nothing. The fun part of watching the seating arrangements, events, loaned jewels, family orders, etc… is that they were supposedly based on work done, personal relationships, discretion, lack of scandals and stuff like that. Meghan is “getting” stuff based on absolutely nothing–heck, she’s likely getting them because she’s a complete fuck-up and needs the extra help–and that makes the “gets” absolutely meaningless. It’s hard to fan-girl that.
Dumb cookie? Please stop insinuating that Cookie Monster is dumb. Cookie Monster is much smarter than Megs because Cookie knows not to turn his back on the Queen.
Interesting. I suspected as much with her crappy sample looks.
I expect Fleet Street–and I’m including Piers as part of that–to dump a LOT on her this summer. There is no reason for them to wait. She’s done all the possible big stuff, and the press will need something to publish this summer.
If she could have learned to keep her mouth shut and stop baiting the press for good coverage every two seconds, she might have had more of a chance. But since she doesn’t know how to live without constant press coverage, well, constant press coverage will be what she gets.
Isn’t that interesting? One would expect her to take some time to just enjoy life with the man she supposedly loves, particularly since they spent very little time together during the “whirlwind courtship.” But instead they take breaks and go their own ways and focus on photo ops.
Agree: MM wants max attention 100% of time.She wants to be in the spotlight always just for being who she is.
IMHO (1) problem is there is ZERO content behind all her communication. There is nothing original, creative or authentic, nothing that is productive or contributes, Whether it was her bad acting in Suits, vapid superficial blog with photos of her hugging black children posted weekly from her 2 outfit Rwanda trip, can’t handle a knife cooking show, photoshopped fashion shoots or her self congratulatory “humanitarian” speeches and articles.
Empty vessels make most noise.
As a society, are we more focused on image and surface appearances than any time in the past? I was at two networking events in the last 2 days and the marketing, branding, image, PR people far outweigh the people who develop, grow, build and create the important stuff. That’s the only explanation for how she got where she is. Or do you have another?
Your blog makes you sound like a really sane and rational person so….what fascinates you about her?
No, I don’t have another explanation. This entire “relationship” has been an exercise on branding vs. substance, imo. Meghan is the Pets.com of the royal world. I mean look at all the fantastic work that Will is doing right now, but all we hear about is Meghan’s fluff. That’s the world we live in.
Two things keep me riveted to this train wreck. First, I’m totally fascinated by the Talented Mr. Ripley aspect of it. I really do think that she is a chameleonic con artist using other people to rise up the fame the ladder. She has done it twice before and this time will be no different. I fully expect her to ditch “violent and controlling” Harry in two years and drive off with a royal toddler and a truckload of “official Di collection” and Cartier diamonds.
Second, I’m baffled by the BRFs actions. Why are they allowing this? Are they really this dumb? They probably are, but, cheesus, this is extreme. They are trying really to inoculate themselves from racism accusations with sleepovers with the Queen and tons of stories about how much Charles loves her, but they must know that it’s not going to help.
Interesting article with very subtle criticisms. The “experts” want her to wear better made and less expensive clothes as well as more British designers. I do not think that’s what is going to happen.
I lol’d at this one. I thought I was the only one who noticed that hem.
Yeah anon, as last Saturday showed, Megs is really putting the fear of god into Kate, who is–no doubt–going to spend another week with her children not at all worried about Meg’s future fuckups this summer.
Maybe. Cory & Trevor can always find ways of “talking-but-not-talking.” I don’t know all the people Megs has pissed off in her life, so there’s still the possibility of some shit coming out of the middle of nowhere. Piers Morgan is a known known in Megs life. I don’t know what else she has out there, but it’s definitely more than Piers though.
I think the most significant thing about Piers at this point is that since he’s a member of the press, it means that other members of the press will try to scoop him if they find out he’s going to break something big.
Given that she’s of advanced maternal age and that she does not look like she has the healthiest figure, I’d be shocked if she could actually conceive and carry a baby to term. She looks like she’s allergic to food. Her dressing in baggy or loose fitting clothing like she did today will probably fool some people except those of us who notice she’s extremely slim.
I’ve seen the same with other tarot readers based on the handful I’ve seen. I’ve yet to see one saying that they’ll have a happy marriage with lots of kids. Which is actually what Harry wants. Except he’s not going to get it with her.
He does not look happy in any of these pics, and, honestly, neither does she. I’ve heard the expression “the smile doesn’t reach the eyes” before, but I’ve never seen a clearer example than this.
Which tarot cards? I’ve seen a lot, and I’ve only seen one that mentions that.
I don’t think that’s worth worrying about though. I have a feeling that she wants people to think she conceived as soon as possible, but I suspect she’s going to have a harder time conceiving than most people think. This summer just isn’t a good time for those two to be attempting conception.
I mean, look how slight she looks in this picture and remember that the camera “adds ten pounds.”
Also, boobs get bigger when you’re pregnant, and there doesn’t seem to be a big change in her upper torso. Just slouchy posture.
I’d say “what waist?” since she doesn’t have much of one. But it looks like there is a design embroidered around the waist/torso on the front.
But really, she does NOT have the figure to pull off something like this. It literally looks like an oversized blouse with a belt.
Givenchy has got to be rubbing their eyes against the wall wondering why they gave her this. She’s going to make all the fashion houses look bad every time she wears something of theirs.
Ghosting a LOT of people is going to cost Megs in the near future. Everyone she’s dusted seems to have good reason to hate her. She could have saved herself by inviting so many people to the wedding. But NOPE!
Even Kate’s Uncle Gary went to the wedding, and obviously Uncle Gary never got a 30-minute interview on British national morning television.

Thanks for submitting this. You are amazing!!!!
I would take off the wedding dresses and the shoes, just to be fair. That’s a special occasion and I would expect those prices to be through the roof.
However, that’s still close to 400,000 dollars ($390k according to my math and we are still missing several items like the VB sweater and some stuff that doesn’t have prices).
To put that in context, Kate’s most expensive fashion year ever was 2017. She spent $160k.
She spent about 105k pounds in her first year as a royal (roughly, Liz Jones’ calculations cover June 2011-2012). Her most expensive piece of jewelry was an Asprey necklace that cost 3k pounds.
LOL, I remember thinking that was absolutely ridiculous, but Meghan has spent FOUR TIMES the amount in six months. Heck, I think Kate’s entire first year clothing allowance barely covers ONE of Meghan’s Cartier bracelets.
This is absolutely insane.
Thank you so much for doing this. I owe you big time.
Doesn’t really matter at this point. It wouldn’t surprise me if Tom Sr. gave another interview in the future, even if it was to clarify things he said in this interview.
Pandora’s Box has been opened, and it’s not going to shut anytime soon.
Honestly that’s her usually stare at the stars in Botswana time maybe she’ll switch it up for somewhere else. It’s her birthday month so I doubt she wants to spend it with the family she never had.
Ooh! Good question! The Queen goes up there in July, I think, before Buckingham Palace is open for tourists.
Thomas Markle’s interview is clearly the work of Piers Morgan. I literally do not understand why anyone would think Megs set this up.
That said, Piers probably knows all the dirt from working in the media, just like the rest of Fleet Street. Piers wasn’t going to wait for anything to happen to start instigating this shit, so he got the party started. The rest of Fleet Street is waiting for an invitation, which Harry & Megs will no doubt give sooner rather than later. Because they are that dumb.
Oh, this summer of fire is just getting started!!!
