To me, it’s literally like that moment in The Ten Commandments where Moses hears from Nefertiri that Pharoah has decreed the first born shall die. And Moses’ reaction is that Pharoah had just called out his own punishment.
These two with their terrible timing don’t understand the ramifications of their actions.
I was sure she’d find a way, and I was hoping she’d at least be a somewhat responsible mother. However, the baby was just conceived and she’s already putting it at risk, so yikes.
Oh, lord, I just realized that one of her engagements is aimed at encouraging women to “move away from he stereotypical roles of cooking and looking after children.” LOLOLOLO, and she’s showing up pregnant. This is like the STEMettes event where she inspired the girls to become Hollywood actresses instead of engineers.
Oh, check out the royal source saying that every precaution will be taken because “the royal couple’s health is naturally of the utmost importance.” Uh, aren’t you leaving someone out?
Told yall. This girl had MAJOR delusions coming in. I think she really thought this was like a Disney movie where you marry the prince and the world cheers and revolves around you. I sincerely think this girl was naive af with everything the BRF does other than the fact that the family had a lot of fame and power.
What I really want to know is how the hell did they keep this under wrap for so long. He met her through Soho House. He must have been practically living there for years without anyone knowing.
This is who they are. They are both elitist, louche douchebags.
Megs has such short-term thinking. She’s only thinking about what she has to say to look good regarding Sam being in the UK.
She doesn’t and can’t think further down the road to when angry mobs are protesting about frivolous spending, like hers. And yet, she thinks she’s some kind of pr genius.
The really interesting part of this article is the location of Doria’s penthouse.
I’m going to drop into conspiracy theory here, so #conspiracywarning. This new pad, which is suspiciously far away from their main home in the Cotswolds is NOT for Doria. Meghan is buying herself a bolthole in the city far away from palace staff. Also, it’s going to end up being a Soho House property.
Oh, really?! Brexit is going terribly and is going to affect the entire UK, but Megsy needs to decorate an expensive flat for her mom, who let us remember did not stay longer than a week after the cookbook photo op.
You know I just realized. While she’s talking about herself, her dress, her big day, everyone else will be talking about the Queen.
Did they set her up for that?
She could’ve easily talked about her first time meeting the queen, or meeting her corgis, or going on an engagement with her. It’s almost like they know she has nothing substantial to offer about someone she’s seen as much as we’ve seen the two of them together in pictures. They were safer including her and letting her do what she does best, talking about herself.
I’m probably forgetting some. I’d say the stupidest (and most revealing, retrospect) was the one about hating the Apaches. They’d spent tons of money and pr on him and he destroyed it all in one second. They were honestly upset with him too, because the heli program was a concession to the fact that he insisted on going back to the front. It’s very telling, however, in restropect. I think he always felt that they were trying to make him into something he wasn’t.
Maybe. They might just file a seperation and get legally divorced later on I think like Charles and Diana did, I forget how it worked.
Pfft. Meghan will agree to grounds for annulment because the royal family’s lawyers will make it a viable option for her to sign the paperwork on it.
Really.
What benefit is there to the royal family in having Megs continue to be around with a title and an HRH? There is no value or benefit to the institution of the monarchy. And after all the trouble she has caused with her leaking to the press and spending exorbitant amounts of money on clothes? That girl leaks like a sieve. Why would they want to keep her around and bankroll her living situation for even longer?
Megs does not and will not have the ability to do a power play against the royal family. She doesn’t have anything to negotiate with; Diana had everything to negotiate with. Charles and Diana were married for more than 10 years, and Charles was–and still is–first in line to the throne. Harry is not. He is never going to become head of the Church of England. Diana was mother to a future king and a popular, INTERNATIONAL, public figure. Considerations that will never apply to Meghan.
In situations of divorce of wealthy and powerful people, you have to have something to negotiate with. Meghan has assured herself–by her own dumbass behavior–that she will have nothing to negotiate with, other than what remaining goodwill Harry has for her.
Ikr. It’s going to suck when Meghan realizes that she will probably come out of this marriage with less money than she came in with.
This isn’t surprising. Megs doesn’t have anything to negotiate with. The only ally within the RF she currently has is Harry. Once he’s not on her side, she has no one within the royal family as an ally.
She’s not going to give birth to a baby. She’s done a good job demonstrating she doesn’t respect the family or its protocols. She’s not popular within the UK. She has nothing for any lawyer to negotiate with considering the royal family holds all the cards in this situation.
Yeah she’s gonna be on tours with them and everything. They are letting these two get away with things like they were next up for the throne. Karma is a bitch and she shows no mercy.
I suspect part of the problem is that she thinks she thinks of herself as a designer who had her own clothing line. She thinks she knows better, so she doesn’t listen to the people advising her.
Meghan looks somehow tranquilized and wired at the same time. Talk about magic.
She’s zoned out and trying to compensate for it. I wonder why she hit the Xanax this time. Are we getting another daddy interview this weekend?
Probably. Didn’t he give a 9-hour interview to the Daily Mail back in early August? And they probably haven’t published everything he told them as of yet.
Well, I wasn’t surprised that another interview with Papa Markle was released this past weekend. This week overall is pretty unfavorable, including this upcoming Saturday and Sunday.
I haven’t gotten a chance to read all the recent coverage, but given this article yesterday, I’m now wondering if Papa Markle is going to hit back more with another interview round this weekend. At this point, I suspect the article about Doria moving was just being floated around to see what the reaction was before it actually happens. But I can see Papa Markle being pissed since he’s completely out in the cold at this point.
I wonder if those rumors of Doria being a felon are true. If so, then it could Papa Markle who exposes it by talking about it to the Daily Mail or some other Fleet Street outlet. He could totally talk about it, and then the rest of Fleet Street would have to verify it with legal records. If she really is planning on moving to the UK–and jumping ahead of thousands of other people in the immigration line–then her having a criminal record would be a serious issue I’d imagine.
Well, regarding the alleged embezzling, I think it’s good to keep in mind that not everything that CDAN publishes is accurate. There are always a lot of people in Hollywood submitting things to that site with various agendas. Those agendas are never held in check or verified by the publisher (CDAN) to ensure accuracy for the readers. There are a LOT of things submitted to that site that seem purely based on fan speculation or a pr rep needing to get a certain rumor out to benefit a certain pr agenda. I do not believe that everything published there should be taken as fact.
That said, I think what some people like to forget is that Harry got in this situation by not listening to what his family likely told him. Harry was dumb, lonely, and desperate to get married. So now he is. He could have waited to get married for another 6 months. If it’s the true love that Harry and Megs fans like to say it is, then there is no reason they couldn’t have had a wedding further down the road. Except they didn’t. And now it probably isn’t going to work out for a bunch of reasons including that Tweedledee and Tweedledum aren’t suitable for a long-term relationship.
Prince Fuck-Up will do what he does best: fuck up.
There’s a lot of different ways one can read that timeline.
Notice that this is not the first time that the palace has tried to reach out to her family and leaked it to the Times. They told Nikka that both of Meghan’s parents would be there for the baptism and neither one showed up. They told the Times that Meghan’s parents would be in the UK two weeks before the wedding so they would have time to meet the royals. Tom never showed up and Doria showed up forty-eight hours before the wedding.
Thanks for bringing that back. I’m getting confused about what happened when, so I tried to put all the Tom Markle articles in order. Boy, this soap opera went on and on.
Like you said, they seemed to be planning a visit after the wedding.
Now, that article came out on May 22nd, AFTER Tom had already talked to the press.
On May 19th Tom talked to TMZ about how much he loved the wedding, how he’d texted Meghan, and how all his relatives should “shut up.” He seemed to be expecting to see the newlyweds soon.
Remember, he had been talking to TMZ throughout the whole wedding. In fact, the whole “heart operation” drama WAS BASED ON HIS CALLS TO TMZ before and after the supposed operation on May 15th and 16th.
At this point he was just talking to TMZ to explain himself. He wasn’t saying anything about Meghan and Harry except that they had texted/spoken the day of the wedding.
On June 5th the DM got pics of him going to the barber looking pretty happy and relaxed.
Then on July 28th, Tom did the “better off dead” interview with the DM, mentioning Diana and explaining that the contact numbers he had for Meghan stopped working.
I’m genuinely curious as to why they don’t allow the press near her. The reporters were catching quotes from her before the wedding and all she was saying was “Hi, I’m Meghan” and “It’s amazing.” Is she now talking politics all the time?
Pt 2 They also certainly know some significant portion of her past misdeeds and lies. So they see this game, they recognize the hypocrisy of PH/M and they have the ammunition to destroy them both. Which makes the game Harry and Meghan play all the more perplexing and dangerous. This will not end well.
It does kind of explain why he thinks the media should stay quite about stuff like her family and her spending. They are, after all, staying quiet about her pap pics, her leaks, and her merching. I don’t think he sees any difference.
Meghan’s “friend” is back on the DM smacking her dad around.
Dude, this MESS just keeps on getting better and better!
The Meg is too dumb to realize that she is just making this worse.
But, please, Meg, don’t come to your senses just now. Some of us are just going to watch you fuck this pr disaster up for an all-time best new royal disaster.
They seem to think that as long as the guy doesn’t have access his stories aren’t marketable and I’m not sure they are right. Thomas has a garage full of pictures and tons of stories about Meghan’s childhood, career, and relationships that are legitimately newsworthy. Jessica Hay is still selling stories about Kate and she NEVER had access.
This will never end, no matter how much they ghost him.
As long as they don’t share any sensitive details it should be fine. Also, she could leak it first and tell Emily Andrews or Imo that she tried to explain why he couldn’t speak to the press and was careful not to share any private details and she did it with and aide, or whatever.
There are tons of ways to handle this. It’s just that she doesn’t want to talk to him.
And her fans are all fully supportive saying that “no child should be forced to maintain contact” or whatever, but this is the brf. That’s what they don’t seem to understand. You can’t have a rogue family member out there making mischief and overshadowing your every engagement.
And that’s what’s going to happen. Very time she steps out and talks about supporting young girls and women, Sam is going to pipe up and say that the fancy words obviously don’t apply to her own family. Every time she represents the brf at a diplomatic event her brother will bring up her State Department uncle who got her the embassy job and got ghosted too. It’s just going to go on and on.
Yep, everyone wondered about that because there were so many anecdotes about Meghan doing homework at the Married with Children set and Thomas helping out with her school plays.
Apparently he is doing it for free. This woman is amazing. Her family hates her. Her co-workers hate her. Her exes hate her. Her publicists hate her. The list goes on and on.
Her fans are acting like it’s perfectly normal that everyone in her life is tripping over themselves trying to hurt her and sell her out, but it’s actually pretty hard to get that many people mad at you. I can’t think of any other celeb who has had this happen. Yes, people cashed-in on Di and Jackie, but that was a money play. Ditto Jessica Hay and people like that. Meghan’s ex-friends and relatives are just interested in causing as much damage as possible.
I think the clothing expense is really going to bite her in the ass.
I have no clue what they were thinking. I expected her to pick some charities and start doing black-slacks-and-messy-buns visits after the wedding. Instead, she scheduled a ton of royal events and maxed out Charles’ credit card on couture that wasn’t even freaking British. Her appearances were all celeb or aristo events. Her leaked stories were about all the houses the Queen was giving them. She skipped out on all of Harry’s charity and fundraising events (event the Sentebale Africa trip!). The only one she showed up for was the Sentebale polo fundraiser and that was just to have a kiss pic that would overshadow Tom’s interview.
I don’t understand their post-wedding strategy at all.
That seems to be the speculation I’m seeing. I would hope that W&K would be smart enough to start distancing themselves from this shit show. There is no reason for them to continue to bail out Harry. It’s a waste of their time and pr capital.
Might as well. He’s got to know by now that she’s never going to get protocol right. Things like that are exactly why she had her pr peeps leak details about the “dumb” protocol things she has to do now.
Personally–the way this is going–I wouldn’t be surprised if next week or the week after if Thomas Markle hopped a plane to the London and did an in-the-studio LIVE interview with Piers Morgan.
And more interviews with Fleet Street. In person.
I mean, we can all see which way this thing is going…
Yep, and he had to apologize through the press because they weren’t talking to him. That was the issue.
And they ghosted him AFTER there were a ton of leaks from the palace about how they didn’t blame him for the pictures and they were so concerned about his health and the were going to go see him in Mexico. I bet he thought everything was okay and he had been forgiven and then he realized they weren’t taking his call anymore. That’s when he decided to apologize through the press.
I doubt it’s a coordinated strategy, however. I feel like it’s more that her family knows her and they’ve been in this situations twice before. They know what she’s going to do.
Tom Sykes is on a roll defending Megha’s decision to ghost her dad now.
