Although she did start the “humanitarian” phase when she was an actress, so it’s not completely new at this point.
I am somewhat surprised that the articles are continuing. At this point, I’m guessing that we’ll get low-ball, turmoil-in-the-palace articles from now until the end of the year. Probably nothing earth shattering before the end of the year. UK tabs will probably let something major rip the first full weekend of the new year. January 6th looks like a good bet for now.
I would bet that they’re going to put her on further lockdown again to ensure it doesn’t happen again. That’s my thought for now.
Or another article will be released in the UK tabs shortly to reinforce the notion that Meg’s “unannounced” pr stunts aren’t appreciated within the royal family.
Either way, Megs is angling for a fight she can’t win.

Oh, I definitely think her control-freak tendencies are part of the problem. But after yesterday, you’ve got to wonder what the RF did after those pictures to ensure a repeat doesn’t happen again. Like, did the staff get a reprimand for driving to and arranging that “unannounced” event? Megs didn’t take the underground or a bus to get there, so someone else was responsible for making it happen.
Are we going to get another ten-thousand-yard, dead-eyed, fembot stare next week? Or one that looks even worse?
All of the palace staff Christmas parties will be coming up soon. She doesn’t have that many chances for more “unannounced” visits to possible charities before it’s time to head to Sandringham.
I have to wonder if the Queen, Charles, and William were happy about her unannounced visit. With everything going on and given that recent tit-for-tat escalation that went on this past weekend in the UK papers, I wonder how well her “unannounced” visit was received by other royals in charge.
It looks to me like she is trying to reassert her image–and merching–with that visit. Am wondering if she went to this discussion against the wishes of senior advisers because the focus should have been more on Will & Kate’s visits to the military & their families. Kind of wondering if we’re now going to see another release of stuff this weekend on Megs.
I think she spends too much and has a ravenous materialism that no amount of money can satisfy, unless she marries a billionaire, which Harry is most definitely not.
When you consider that most belly cupping is either done standing or in the final months/trimester of the pregnancy, then you realize that video really is something else.
I think the bloom will be off the rose, so to speak, for Harry with this relationship/marriage come the beginning of January 2019. We may not see it publicly, but I think it’ll be over for him at that point.
Obviously, Meghan wants to memorialize herself, even at someone else’s memorial.
I think Harry did the “oh, isn’t my wife so great” rendition at this event because things between him and his wife aren’t so great at the moment. Why talk about how you’re wife is so great when it’s not the right moment, unless you desperately need everyone else to think so?
Well, I’m curious to see what she would look like in a picture from the side in this one.
Kind of looks like she may be hunching/bending over, so that may be why her abdomen looks so different. She’s obviously pregnant since her boobs have increased in size, which is normal. If we had better pictures of her dress we’d probably have a clearer answer.
But this picture…
This is a girl who can always find her angles for the camera. And she looks beat in this photo. There is not much life in that face. Dead eyes…
Aside from the things I’ve already said? I mean, there are always planetary changes happening, so are you talking the Vedic/sidereal zodiac or Western/tropical zodiac?
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?
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.”
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.
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’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.
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…
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.
Were we going to get a confirmation when he arrives back in the UK? I have no idea how anyone is supposed to verify if he’s in Africa or if he’s in the UK if it hasn’t been posted in either the press or social media at this point.
The problem I have with Papa Markle “working with Meghan” is that everything ends up worse. And then Samantha chimes in addition to what her father said.
Also, I’d note that the Express storydoes not quote Papa Markle directly. The entire article is through other “sources.”
Same thing with The Sun article. It’s a “friend” of Thomas Markle. They didn’t talk to him directly. And they have the same exact quotes as Express.
So, in this instance, it’s not that Papa Markle and Meghan are working together, it’s that her pr used Meghan as a “friend” of Thomas to voice her complaints. Thomas never spoke to those outlets. If he did, then they would have quoted him directly.
