I suspect it’s only the baby keeping them together in any way at this point.
Nope! But that’s not entirely surprising given she only invited her mother to her wedding. Couldn’t even include any of her mother’s relatives, you know, her non-Markle relatives.
Exactly. She learned from her father to hit her marks. It’s why she can always spot a camera.
Unfortunately, the theory about her faking and planning a miscarriage doesn’t really work because Megs really needs some long-term attachment to the BRF for status and money. Two things she craves the most.
The BRF appears upset about the situation–for those smart enough to analyze and parse the words published about the pregnancy–because they know that this relationship between Harry and Megs is a complete disaster. They know that bringing a baby into the situation just makes things absolutely worse.
Yeah, Fergie was a pr nightmare back in the 90s, but Fergie is actually a nice person. The family liked her personally, but her actions were so terrible that she could not be formally associated with the royal family anymore. Megs is just the absolute worst. She is arrogant, dumb, mean, materialistic, fame hungry, and reckless. Yeah, she’s not an axe murderer, but when the job is to represent the pinnacle of British society she comes up several miles short.
Is it contempt or just narcissism? People that self absorbed just don’t care at all about other people in my experience.
1. She looks pregnant. You can see some weight gain in her face and boobs. Yes, she sticks out her belly for maximum press coverage, but she looks pregnant.
2. I suspect she lied about how far along she was when she announced. I think she was 10 weeks maximum, if that, when they announced. I think that has thrown people for a loop since the announcement said she had passed 12 weeks when she probably hadn’t, which confuses people because she doesn’t look that pregnant. She said she was second trimester during the tour and she definitely didn’t look it.
3. I don’t exactly believe the Suits rumors at this point. I need more proof than a closed Facebook group. That kind of thing–IF it’s true–won’t be verified until, perhaps, years later.
4. Yes, the British royal family acknowledged the pregnancy after it was announced. Harry & Megs just didn’t get the glowing congratulations that Will & Kate or Zara & Mike received.
5. Megs went to “The Secret” church, remember? It’s literally about thinking about what you want. Your actions don’t seem to matter as much as long as you’re thoughts are about what you want. Megs probably thinks that as long as she thinks about having a baby then the baby will automatically appear and be healthy.
6. Janetti posts all sorts of shit. Just because he posts a joke doesn’t make it true.
7. Like AHPF said a few weeks ago, Megs has no problem flouting the rules because she’s pregnant and knows that she has her “meal ticket.” Megs is legit pregnant.
8. I’m sure the RF paid for the IVF. The IVF was cheaper than her tour wardrobe when you think about it.
9. The tour pregnancy announcement solely has to do with the famewhore qualities that have been exhibited this entire relationship. No surprise there when you think about it.
10. Dumb people do dumb things all the time. Yes, it is hard to understand when you have a functioning brain that can understand logic and that actions have consequences. But dumb people–specifically the two dunderheads planning on becoming parents–tend to make dumb decisions. Everything that has happened with this relationship–and particularly this pregnancy–is an epic tale of DUMB! Find out you’re pregnant? Drink champagne without food on a flight to Canada. Feel stressed going to a night time engagement while stoking pregnancy rumors? (Allegedly) Take some Xanax for a nice glazed eye look. Worried about changing your trademark hair look because of some baby growing in your womb? Screw that and straighten your hair for the umpteenth time again. Worried about some weird jungle virus (Zika) that could damage your baby’s health? Pfft. Whatever.
I didn’t see it before, but I have now! Geez, the self absorption never stops with this woman.
I watched just the minute before the 36:17 mark, and it was pretty obvious based on how the entire audience was clapping that everyone should be clapping.
First, let’s remember the reason why Fergie & Andrew divorced: the toe sucking incident that was made public. They didn’t want to divorce, but (allegedly) Philip said that Fergie had damaged The Family’s reputation so much that they had to divorce. Fergie & Andrew’s relationship between them was quite strong prior and remained so after they divorced, while living together and raising their daughters together. Fergie ran in royal circles prior to dating Andrew; her father was Prince Philips polo manager.
No such bond really exists like that between Harry and Megs. They had a long-distance relationship before they got engaged. Harry was away from her this past August while he was in Africa either for a month or several weeks at a minimum. They were not used to spending long periods of time together when they got engaged. They don’t have a strong relationship between them. Their relationship has always been built on drama.
So, no, I don’t expect Harry and Megs to be friends after their marriage is over. They’re both so petty and insecure too.
Welcome!
Yeah, I was surprised about that one too. Assuming she really did make contact with the Suits people, I would guess that she’s prepping herself for the next shooting season. So not this current season but the next one. Episodes have to be written before they’re filmed. So if she’s really interested, she would need to let them know before they start writing, which I assume would be springtime 2019.
It’s a rumor that I’m not going to put much weight behind until there’s more evidence. I also think that the Suits team would probably be reluctant to have her back. I seem to remember hearing that she was difficult to work with behind the scenes, so why have her back unless they really had to? Well, they don’t have to, so she’s at their mercy.
But, really, who’s surprised that they did it for attention?
Oh, I think she’s pregnant. I don’t think Megs is as far along as she said she was when it was announced. I think she was probably 10 weeks along maximum when it was announced, and I’m not super convinced she was even that far along when she announced.
I suspect Will and Kate’s attitude probably has to do with a number of things, such as:
Will and Kate have a number of reasons not to be super happy about the situation.
I suspect what galls people behind the scenes even further is Megs lack of regular health precautions while pregnant. What is known and suspected at this point includes:
And that’s just what I can think of offhand. Will and Kate likely know more, and they’re probably appalled. They know what it means to keep the mother and the baby healthy during a pregnancy. Megs clearly isn’t doing the same. Meg’s recklessness is appalling. And it clearly speaks to the reckless attitude she would have when she’s a mother.
So I’m not surprised that Will and Kate haven’t issued a public congratulations. They’re probably still bracing for impact for another episode of assholery from the Duchess of Mean!
I assume it was this picture?
Looks navy to me. I imagine that the night-time flash is making it look lighter than it really is.
At this point, I’m thinking no, and that’s because I’m thinking the BRF got her to sign something saying she wouldn’t sue in exchange for public flattery and money.
I also think it has to be considered what exactly Melissa would want to achieve by suing? If it’s money, then there’s only so much of that she would get even with a lawsuit. And it sounds like she already got some from BRF. Plus, you have to consider the amount of time it would take things to go through the court system. It would be at least several months before she would get something that made it worthwhile to sue.
However, if she goes to the press, then she can likely get what she wants off her chest much more quickly and move on. It wouldn’t surprise me at this point if she went to the press, and then the BRF–excluding Meghan and probably Harry, of course–did not refute Melissa’s claims of what went on behind the scenes. I almost expect some sort of merching expose to happen by the first week of December.
Yup. That was my thinking too…until Houseplant pointed out that she worked for Madonna. And she worked for Julia Roberts too. Both of those celebrities have huge egos, particularly at the point in times when Melissa worked for them. Madonna is a workaholic with a practical streak, but she does have an ego.
I want Melissa to dish all the dirt from the tour. Like, what happened in Fiji with that 6-minute market trip?!
I don’t think all of the dirt is going to come out. I expect articles about how Megs treats staff to come out, particularly an article or two about her behavior on the tour. Think of that 6 minute visit to the market in Fiji. I would love to read more about that from a staff member who thinks Megs behaved in a complete bullshit manner, which she did. (For a comparison, see this part of Charles in a market buying things and paying attention to the vendors.)
It wouldn’t surprise me if an article hits the UK press as early as Thursday or Friday of next week. Meg’s behavior during the trashtastic tour would probably be my first guess. I think the odds are in favor of a merching article coming out at some point given that the personal assistant, Melissa, worked in Hollywood. She would know the ins & outs of merching, and given her six months with the royal family, she would know that the merching wasn’t something Megs should be doing. But Megs went ahead and did it anyway.
So, I’d imagine that from now until…probably the first week in December we’ll see articles appearing that Megs and Harry would rather not see published.
I think what’s really ironic is how right the Queen was about Meghan not needing a veil for her second wedding. That huge mosquito-net veil did nothing for her bridal ensemble. She would have been better off with just the tiara on her head. Go figure.
Pt 2 You doubt this? Meghan’s Mirror the site owners said they had a “feeling” she was seeing Harry and opened the site just as the affair was outed. In reality the site owner is a friend of Jessica Mulroney. Meghan BFF. The site owner admitted this in an interview. Meghan gets a percentage of sales. They had announced a new venture several months ago and the new venture turned out to be voila! maternity clothes and baby goods! They knew several months ago. Wake up!
The “leaking” is regarding other information about the family to the press.
Her merching ploys are a different issue altogether.
Angry? Where do you get that Megs has been angry–specifically with William–for 2 days?
I would bet that Megs is probably very happy with the arrangement since she thinks she knows best when it comes to media attention.
So, let me get this straight, people said she couldn’t be pregnant because Megs was engaging in behaviors that most people with common sense think would endanger a baby, such as drinking alcohol or getting infected with the Zika virus.
And you think that is…okay?! For Megs to do things that would E-N-D-A-N-G-E-R her baby???
So, are you telling me that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and microcephaly mean nothing to you?
I can only assume as much since you are the arrogant dumbass who thinks it’s better to see the press with egg on their face rather than an expectant mother taking health and safety precautions for her baby to be healthy. Good luck with that.
Why don’t you come back here at the end of March 2019 and tell me how Megs is enjoying the press with egg on their face not publishing how–yet again–another marriage of hers is in shambles. And that she is completely over being married to Harry.
Beware the Ides of March 2019 and what comes after.
Because she’s had good press even when she’s done inappropriate things like bellycupping on the tour. Why highlight the plight of a place like Dubbo, Australia, when you can make the press write about your self-referencing banana bread.
Yeah, she’s not an axe-murder. She’s not like Trump where her actions are contributing to the devastation of the planet or cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants and refugees.
But she’s not doing what she’s supposed to be doing as a royal. She should be highlighting the work of other people. Demonstrating respect for hosts and host countries instead of making everything about herself like this:
Supposedly at this point, Megs is going. I’m sure she’ll be bending her back to look as pregnant as possible, in her regular trademark black. WWI isn’t as big in the US as it is in Europe. Does Megs understand that if she tries to make it all about her that it’ll be seen as flipping the finger to those honoring Remembrance Day? Hell, who are we kidding? She’s the one who pap walked on two years ago on Remembrance Day (in 2016).
I’d be more surprised if she did NOT bellycup than if she did at this point.
Famewhore has got to famewhore.
Charles will be king; he’s not some random stranger who wants to be king. The whole family is afraid of bad pr because of how much Megs leaks and runs to the press. She’s always having a new article sent to the American press. Celebitchy had two posts this morning quoting articles about Megs from her leaks to American media. The girl doesn’t know when to shut up to the press.
People behind the scenes were talking about this apparently.
I think Megs will be over this marriage come mid-to-late March 2019. Whether or not it’s immediately publicly known at the time is another thing.
They had a mention and screenshot of jerseydeanne’s blog regarding Meghan having bunions.
I don’t think that car has anything to do with Charles.
I’m going to wait and see if that actually happens. The schedule at Sandringham is quite rigid. I don’t see why anyone would want to go unless they had to.
I’m still wondering if we’re going to end up getting Remembrance Day bellycupping. Will the BRF bench her to prevent it? Can they bench her? Or will they allow her to go with the expectation that she not bellycup? Which she will probably violate that rule because honoring vets is not as important as drawing attention to her own belly.
I almost think she’s manipulating her stomach muscles in that picture. Her belly looks so weird and that dress looks so tacky.
Yeah, I think most people are just generally referring to the shift with Venus going direct and then Mercury going retrograde immediately after. So, like, November 15-16 is when that happens.
I always consider the period when Mercury goes retrograde to be a stress point since anything communication-wise gets extra energy going through it.
I would at least expect a press article of some sort to come out about their behavior behind the scenes during the tour. Or it could be a press article about something else. These two are a problem-generating machine, so it’s hard to guess what problem exactly the press will choose to highlight at any particular time.
I remember noticing the disparity between their attitudes back in Fiji with these photos:
Harry has got his serious face on along with everyone else except his wife, who has her smug face on.
Perhaps the UK tabs will use Harry’s downcast, NZ photos for some of their tour articles whenever they start discussing her (and their?) behavior behind the scenes on the tour.
the value of her wardrobe including jewelry for the tour was almost what Kate spends in a year doing several tours. The arguement she is building a wardrobe is nonsense. Kate spent about 50K her first year of marriage and has never exceeded 150K since then. In one year Meghan is close to spending what Kate has spent for her entire marriage. Marie Antoinette.
I feel like Marie Antoinette had better taste with her clothes and better grooming though…
I don’t think the media is ready to out her yet. Little drips now but not a big torrent yet. They won’t do it while she is pregnant. I still see a divorce on schedule for this summer. And people who saw her in person are skeptical about pregnancy. Person who I spoke with said she does not see how their marriage can recover the tension/coldness she saw between them when the cameras and media go away.
Insulting Fijians and Tongans is probably one of the worst things in my book. I mean, how hard can it be when they literally rolled out a royal welcome. And how hard is it to be nice to her own staff? No wonder there was a visible tag on her dress in Tonga and other wrinkled outfits. Plus, no one can forget her leaving the Fijian market after a whopping SIX MINUTES. She truly doesn’t want to mingle with or show respect to regular people. Ugh.
I can understand the skeptical attitude about her pregnancy. I just figure that she lied about how far along she was when it was announced. Those two lied about a lot of things in their engagement interview. It wouldn’t surprise me if she is still in the first trimester right now.
Still, fingers crossed for some decent drips to come out soon…
It’s a nice side show compared to all the other shit shows going on in the world right now…
Oh really??? Geez, that’s even worse than I thought, I mean, in terms of her behavior such as mistreating people. I can imagine her doing it, but I think even then if I read some of the specifics I’d probably be more appalled than I can imagine at this moment.
I’m not surprised about the thinness though. When looking at pictures of her, I always try to remember that the camera visually adds 10 pounds to a person in a photograph. She’s pregnant and still looks very slim. I don’t doubt she’s pregnant since, as Houseplant said, her belly would be more consistently shaped for each appearance if she was wearing a prosthetic. I do, however, doubt she’s as far along as she said she was when they announced it.
I only hope at this point that either some British tabloid or newspaper amongst the Commonwealth countries that were visited is willing to publish an article or two describing her truly, truly outrageous behavior.
I haven’t watched all of that speech. I’ve only seen clips. I’m sure that speech was mostly written by staff. Her delivering a pre-set text should be easy for her because it was basically her job. Unfortunately those clips I saw didn’t show the audience.
I’m so glad this tour is over with today because these two suck at their jobs. Royally.
Well, Harry wasn’t referred to as “publicity hungry” in his father’s new biography for nothing.
I highly doubt that is true. But this sounds like a better question for @keepingupwiththebananadrama though.
Most people could do with one or two. Except for Megs.
Shallow-minded solutions for shallow-minded people down there in LA.
