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.
Like she’d miss the opportunity. She wasn’t allowed to do it at Remembrance Day. She’s got to take the opportunity while it’s available. Never know when she’ll have the chance again.
“Can Meghan stop cradling that barely-there baby bump for two seconds?! We know you’re pregnant, there’s no need to constantly gesture for more attention.“ – Submitted by Anonymous
But which story? I still haven’t been able to find it.
Anyway, here’s a video of Megs bellycupping–specifically, the mons pubis bellycupping–in New Zealand. It looks even more ridiculous in action than single photos.
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.
The tour is kind of funny in a way. The schedule actually looked great (Invictus, Commonwealth Canopy, scholarships, aboriginal schools, etc…) and the Irish tour was decent, so the royals were probably shocked out of their minds when it turned into a belly-cupping self-promo fest. I mean, they were literally told about the pregnancy THE DAY BEFORE.
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:
Drinking (champagne without food on a solo flight to Canada)
Partying at Soho House, which includes more drinking.
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!
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.
I’m waiting on the painted hands on the belly photos to be posted on the oh so private I don’t announce on social media nor do I like attention couple.
“Kate never let anything get in the way of a official visit abroad. She performed well and showed up to all planned activities being sure not to disappoint. Meghan just does not get it. This trip has been planned well before her pregnancy, maybe she should have planned around it instead of allowing it to take over the visit.” – Submitted by Anonymous
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.
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.
Were they offended by her bellycupping? I imagine that they all were. I think her behavior makes it obvious that she and Harry aren’t going to get sent on another tour together.
Fingers crossed that they give the Sussexes their own Twitter and Instagram accounts as soon as possible so we can watch them implode all the more easily.
I forgot to add a that the ONLY substance that has managed to seep through the belly-cupping, hand-holding, and family drama have been (i) the grants and scholarships from the Queen’s patronages, (ii) the Queen’s relationship with Fiji and Tonga, and (iii) the Queen’s message to the royal family of Tonga. I think that is because of Samantha Cohen.
This is just a post basically of all the questions that have been asked to me this week that I haven’t been able to answer and I just put it all in one post. Sorry for the delay, a lot has been going on personally this week which is why I’ve been more inactive than usually. -TT
“Why is MM cradling her bump so consistently?”
She wants to project the image of the “happy family” (Ten of Cups) even though there’s a lot of stress and conflict right now (Six of Swords Rx). I think she does this obviously for more attention (Star) but not in the normal attention-seeking way. Like she does it because I think she feels like very restricted (Four of Cups/Swords, Four of Pentacles) because of this pregnancy and her doing this is her way of rebelling or gaining that sense of control and power she feels like she’s losing (Three of Swords, Hierophant, Four of Pentacles, QOW) because of the tour (Hierophant,Six of Swords Rx). KP may be being much more strict on her and Harry, specifically her since she is pregnant, now (Heirophant/Four of Pentacles).
I think she’s very very isolated on this tour (Four of Cups) and very very bitter or sort of mean (Seven of Wands Rx/Three of Pentacles/Hanged Man Rx). She’s sort of petty and catty-like right now (Three of Cups Rx) and she needs to be careful because there, again like I saw before, might be someone in her camp who is going to spill the beans on this behavior if she isn’t careful (Three of Cups Rx). She’s got a spy in her camp. She’s very much in isolation and isn’t really talking to her friends-or they aren’t talking to her that much (Four of Swords/Three of Cups Rx). She feels a lack of freedom and feels very restricted (Four of Wands Rx) and this is her way of restoring control by highlighting the bump, which is weird (Devil Rx) and switching the narrative which hasn’t been the easiest since this is a tour and they have schedules to fulfill and points to hit before moving forward.
Her mood has been fluctuating a lot (Two of Pentacles), causing lots of rifts with Harry (Ten of Cups/Six of Swords Rx/Five of Swords/Hermit/Knight of Pentacles Rx). She’s sort of icy with Harry, I think more so the influence of the hormones (Two of Pentacles), but she’s sort of icy with Harry (Four of Swords/Four of Wands Rx) and their relationship is very routine-like right now (Knight of Pentacles Rx). She’s also very very forceful and sort of aggressive because of the hormones (Ace of Swords Rx/Chariot).
This is a major change for her (Death) and Harry (Two of Cups) and they don’t really know how to cope with it (Two of Pentacles) and Meghan feels undervalued right now (Six of Pentacles Rx) which is why she’s sort of doing this to gain that control and feel like the focus is on her when it is mostly on the tour and hitting all those points because when they didn’t have any restrictions or help, like this previous week, it turned into a mess. Notice how this week the charities are getting much more attention (even if it’s the smallest) than last week when it seems they had no control and were free-styling it.
“Why did MM leave her engagement in Fiji after six minutes?”
I think she wanted to go (House/Star/Key). I also think she had some sudden pain somewhere or some health issues of some sort as well (Cross/Scythe/Key). She felt like it was starting to unproductive/unhealthy for her to be there and wanted to go back home (House/Star/Scythe/Key). She also saw this as a way to benefit her publicly rather than get the backlash she did and thought (Garden/Clover), like, “oh, I’m sure they’ll understand” sort of situation. Again, the hormones are making her crazy y’all! She was getting impatient (Mice/Dog). Her motivation for attending was dwindling by the minute (Mice/Snake). I also think she was having some secret health issues as well and that’s why she left so abruptly, other than the fact her patience was thin and she wanted to be at home (Woman/Mice). I don’t think she was that prepared either, as per usual, (Book/Mice) and again, was unhealthy or had some sort of health issue that came up out of nowhere. I think there is this underlying conflict, which probably relates back to my first spread above, of her having conflict between wanting to follow her own agenda and following what she is being told to do by KP.
“How to KM feel about the banquet she attended yesterday?”
I think she very much enjoyed it. I think this was one of the times Kate really felt like she was in power (Bear/Tower) or sort of really played the role of “future queen” in a sense, like in her spirit. She was prepared and ready for this change (Ship) and this banquet was her really exploring her power and really feeling very confident about herself and her role. I’m guessing this is referencing the new glass order she got and her climbing up the ladder of power and presence in her position regarding that. Probably feeling very much empowered by wearing that, as a badge of honor in a sense. Though she was ready, she still was kind of nervous about taking the lead (Bear/Birds) but still very excited (Birds).Catherine didn’t have the tour on her mind and was putting all the gossip H&M were giving, across the pond (Ship), behind her and was focused on this banquet (Birds/Tower). #AnUnbotheredQueen
She carried herself with class and grace and dignity as usual (Tower/Tree) and though very nervous, tried to appear calm and reserved and kept together (Tree).
“How does MM feel about it?”
I think the news (Rider) made her feel held-back. I already talked before about how MM dislikes the power and influence that comes with Catherine’s position and this banquet was one of those things that sort of irked her (Mountain). Not in a very outward way though (Book), almost disliked it in silence. She’s putting on the facade she’s happy (Star) with it and some of that is true in a sense (Rider/House) but she still feels like once again, Kate is the big-bad wolf just coming to knock the shine off of her (Stork/Mountain). She feels like she’s blocking her bag as they say (even though their rich) and feels like Kate’s stopping her from going on and growing and going up as a royal. I feel like maybe this was not told to her or kept from her, probably to focus on the tour but also because of her hormones and her mood fluctuations, they didn’t want to take that chance of an explosion (Key/Book).
I’ll do a second, more in depth part later. See you soon. -TT
I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I don’t expect Harry and Megs to be at the Polish state visit in January. Meg’s bellycupping at the Fijian state dinner last night perfectly demonstrates that those two aren’t suitable to be at a British state banquet.
Me too! I feel I shouldn’t even be surprised, and yet I am. She cupped in an official photograph…
That says everything that needs to be said about the DoSex, frankly. Even when they are representing the Queen at the most formal events it’s all about them and their personal soap opera.
Because she’s family. That’s why I’m so baffled whenever an anon says that Meghan will be excluded from a wedding or a state banquet or anything. If Princess Michael isn’t excluded, then Meghan Markle isn’t going to be excluded.
Meghan is more high profile than Princess Michael though.
I think the real question is whether or not Buckingham Palace wants moments like the photo below in their state banquets.
Because if Megs attends the Polish state banquet, you know she will.
