Forget the girls, it’s simmering tensions between brothers William and Harry that are at the heart of the frostiness between the two royal power couples
EXCLUSIVEBy Emily Andrews, Royal Correspondent7th December 2018, 10:15 pmUpdated: 8th December 2018, 11:25 am
Oh, Emily! When are you going to learn you’re a fool for doing Meghan’s bidding??
FOR two weeks all eyes have been on the “difficult relationship” between royal wives Meghan and Kate.
But today the Sun can reveal the simmering tensions between brothers William and Harry are at the heart of the frostiness between the two couples.
HARRY accusing Wills of trying to “wreck his relationship” with Meghan after he voiced concerns over her;
MEGHAN feeling rebuffed when she tried to befriend Kate;
RIVALRY between the brothers’ over palace appointments, and;
HARRY’S desire to protect his wife at all costs after not being able to do so for Princess Diana.
From being young boys united in grief to building Britain’s modern monarchy together, the brothers could not have been closer.
Until now.
For insiders say it is problems between them, dating back to when Meghan, 37, appeared on the scene, that are fuelling the fallings-out.
And Harry’s over-protectiveness of his wife — and refusal to see reason — is the main cause of the chasm.
As one courtier told me: “It’s my opinion that Harry feels he couldn’t protect his mother, so he’s going all out to protect his wife.
“This is his way of atoning.
“He will brook absolutely no criticism of Meghan — and he is so sensitive he often sees criticism or negativity where there isn’t any.”
Using the memory of mummy dearest when all other PR strategies fail….
Of course, the brothers have locked horns before. William, 36, was said to be furious with Harry, 34, for getting caught on camera stripping in a Las Vegas hotel room six years ago.
Can you blame William, though? Harry was old enough to know better…
But they always turned to each other when times were tough — the only people who could truly understand their lives.
The first hint of friction came after William was introduced to Meghan, 37, when she was staying at Kensington Palace.
Once she’d returned home to Canada, Wills sat Harry down for a chat — meant as brotherly advice.
He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for the US star but wanted him to take it slowly.
A well-placed source said: “William told his brother they knew nothing about her background, her intentions, what she was really like.
“He just wanted to stress that becoming part of the Royal Family is a massive undertaking and the pressure and scrutiny is unrelenting. Was Meghan the right one?”
The chat did not go down well.
“Harry went mental,” said the friend. “He accused his brother of trying to finish his romance before it had begun. The brothers’ relationship has not really recovered.”
The Sun understands other senior members of the family also “had concerns” and voiced them to Harry.
A royal source said: “Meghan hoped Kate would show her the ropes. But, equally understandably, Kate was busy. She didn’t have as much time for her as Meghan would have liked. They were at very different places in their lives.
Meghan felt rebuffed… all these stories about her not listening and being demanding simply just aren’t true! It’s Kate’s fault!
Harry did not take this lightly and spoke to William about making Meghan feel welcome. William, of course, took his wife’s side — after all, she was following his lead.
In February, the Fab Four appeared on stage together for the first time to talk about their Royal Foundation charitable work.
Host Tina Daheley asked them: “Working together as a family, do you ever have disagreements about things?” Cue nervous laughter.
Meghan looked down, Kate fiddled with her hair and they left it to William, who answered with a very direct: “Oh yes.”
Harry then joked that there are so many clashes that “they come so thick and fast.” When asked if they’d been “resolved”, Wills jokingly replied: “We don’t know!” Could he have been thinking about Harry’s new role as a youth ambassador for the Commonwealth? Wills’ nose was reportedly put out of joint when the Queen gave the plum job to his brother instead of him.
Afterwards William had to be cajoled into doing anything for the Commonwealth, say courtiers.
But aides point out that if he’d wanted to veto Harry’s appointment, he could have done so. However, the tension didn’t help matters, coming as it did before May’s Royal Wedding.
Ah, yes, William, future Prince of Wales and likely future Head of the Commonwealth, is jealous of Harry’s made up position of Commonwealth Youth Ambassador….
Meghan’s father Thomas Markle was about to pull out of walking his daughter down the aisle after it was revealed he had posed for paparazzi pictures. Calm but collected, Meghan decided her team should say nothing publicly and cut him off.
However, William — having lost his mum — couldn’t understand ignoring a parent, whatever they’d done. He thought Meghan was making a mistake.
Meghan is said to be far less intimidated by the royals than might be supposed. At a recent gathering of senior family members, including Meghan, one well-placed aide remarked: “All their IQs put together would not equal hers.”
The bolthole is used to entertain friends like Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas — now her husband — Serena Williams and George and Amal Clooney.
William and Kate also swerved a board meeting oft he Royal Foundation this week, leaving Harry and Meg to go alone.
They also missed the Christmas Party, with one insider saying: “it ‘was a shame’ they didn’t attend.”
The source added: “Not only were Harry and Meghan there, but they went to the staff Christmas party afterwards.
“It was a very jolly affair. It’s a shame that William and Catherine did not turn up.’”
Then Wills and Kate turned down an invite to the Castle of Mey with Harry, Meghan and Charles in June. And while the Cambridges holidayed with Zara and Mike Tindall, Peter and Autumn Phillips and their kids at Balmoral in August, Harry and Meghan were absent.
Piers Morgan has invited Meghan Markle to make-up with him over drinks – despite labelling her a ‘social climber’ for blanking him when she met Prince Harry.
The Good Morning Britain presenter repeated criticism of the Duchess of Sussextoday, claiming she has ‘cut off’ people when she does not need them – or they could endanger her royal reputation.
Yesterday, Piers revealed the pair had been friends but he was ‘ghosted’ by the Suits actress who married Prince Harry in May.
Today, he continued criticism.
He said: ‘She knew I was a journalist when I followed her on Twitter she messaged me saying ‘I’m a big fan’.
‘I feel the pattern with Meghan – whether the ex being chopped of the family or the father whose been chopped – or me on a much smaller level– she called me a friend on Twitter – came to my pub drank my drinks and then… whoosh… gone.
‘She’s a bit of a cut and runner. She’s trying to protect the bigger prize
‘She wants important people. Now she’s best friends with Michelle Obama and the Clooneys.
‘None of the family allowed near her they might damage the brand
‘It was all a bit odd.’
Mr Morgan also said a mutual friend of theirs was encouraged to break off his relationship with the journalist.
Suits cast member, Rick Hoffman – who played Louis Litt – was also friends with Piers but soon stopped talking to him.
Mr Morgan said: ‘It wasn’t painful it was curious. It left be bemused.
‘We’d been corresponding with another guy from suits for a year or so and it’s weird behaviour.
‘Our mutual friend was also told to ghost me
‘He crawled out of the woodwork after the wedding
‘He said ‘I love you pal’.
Piers also invited Meghan to make up with him at his local – the Scarsdale Tavern in Kensington – close to her new home in Kensington Palace.
He said when they met there before she was unknown and asked him for advice with her media career.
He said: ‘Maybe she was on an inexorable charge to the top. I take people as I find them… Meghan is disappointing
‘When I knew her nobody knew who she was – she came to my pub and nobody knew who she was.
‘If she wants to come to my Christmas drinks, come on down.’
Writing for the Daily Mail Morgan said he packed Meghan off in a taxi the night she met Harry.
He wrote: ‘She spoke very candidly about her family – there were some private, sensitive things she told me I would never repeat because they were said in confidence – Donald Trump (she’s not a fan), and of course, Suits.
‘She asked me for advice on her career and the media, and if she could come on Good Morning Britain next time she was over, which I said I would arrange.
‘From the cab, Meghan sent me a series of texts thanking me and saying she was looking forward to meeting up again next time we were in the same city.
‘She even publicly tweeted about how nice it was to see her ‘friend’ – me – in London.
‘So at this point, I was indeed labouring under the massive misapprehension that we were friends.
‘I was wrong.
‘She met Prince Harry at the dinner that night, went on a solo date with him the next night, and I never heard from her again.

“What are Prince William’s true feelings about Meghan Markle?”
(Knight of Swords; Tower; Seven of Wands; Eight of Wands; Five of Cups; Moon Rx; KOC Rx (William); Two of Pentacles Rx; Ten of Wands Rx; Nine of Cups Rx)
Fool Rx, Seven of Swords Rx; Eight of Pentacles Rx; Judgment – Top of the Deck
Two of Wands Rx, Seven of Pentacles Rx, Lovers Rx – Bottom of the Deck
Okay, so Willy isn’t a fan (Tower/Moon Rx).
He feels like a lot of the time spent in investing in her and her image (Seven of Pentacles Rx) was a waste and that she’s bad for business regarding the firm’s image.
He feels like he’s broke his back trying to move forward and get the public and family to like her (Lovers Rx/Two of Wands Rx) and his efforts aren’t working anymore (Two of Wands Rx). He feels like there has been a lack of progress (Two of Wands Rx) regarding Meghan and her role in the RF and just an overall lack of growth. Kind of like training somebody and there just not improving or getting much better regardless of how you help.
William feels like he made the wrong decision trying to embrace Meghan and make it work (Seven of Pentacles Rx/Two of Wands Rx/Lovers Rx).
There were lots of plans William and the firm had in mind for Meghan and Harry (Two of Wands Rx/Seven of Pentacles Rx) and the ones executed aren’t panning out the way they want and because of that they feel like they need to cutback and change plans, cause trying to stick together and portray that close knit image with her (Lovers Rx) and be supportive and coddling her isn’t working (Lovers Rx).
William is at the point where he wants to cut-back on giving Meghan engagements (Two of Wands Rx). He thinks giving her more work right now is bad timing wise (lovers Rx) and thinks she is again, not good for business and not helping the monarchy with a whole bunch of engagements right now (Seven of Pentacles Rx). Could be one of the reasons other than the tax lock-down of why she hasn’t done much engagements in November.
He also thinks she is eating up the budget and can’t stand it (I mean she is but you get what I mean..) (Seven of Pentacles Rx).
He feels like he needs to change his plans regarding her (Seven of Pentacles Rx) and disconnect himself from the “Sussex brand” (Lovers Rx).
They don’t get along (Lovers Rx). William doesn’t like her. Not saying they have arguments like Kate and Meghan cause that’s not what I’m getting from these cards. He feels specifically that there is a lack of understanding and good communication between them (Lovers Rx).
He views Meghan as a majorly deceptive person (Moon Rx/Lovers Rx) by the way.
Originally, William was going to try and move forward and make it work (Eight of Wands) despite it being fast and kind of abrupt/whirlwind marriage. But something has happened recently or quickly (Knight of Swords/Tower) that has shattered all that hope and made him very distrustful and wary of her (Moon Rx/KOC Rx).
I find MM’s plans for the US market laughable. She’s burned through all the “firsts” a new member of the BRF would have. She could never drum up much interest when she was just an actress. All the interest she can generate is because she’s attached to Harry, and when the day comes when she’s no longer attached to Harry she’ll have a short shelf life.
Can’t wait to hear how she deals with things next week because you can’t always avoid negative things in your life.

Yup. Harry will retain some of his standing since he is the future king’s brother, just like Margaret did. But he won’t be as popular once George, Charlotte, and Louis grow up.
Christmas at Sandringham is for members of the royal family and the Queen’s relatives. Meghan wasn’t even officially a royal last year, and her being there was considered too early by many people. Kate spent her last Christmas before her wedding–but after her engagement–with her family. If Megs missed her mom that much, then she should have had Christmas with her mom in LA instead. Instead, Megs wanted the photo ops of being with the royals as soon as possible.
The Middletons don’t attend Sandringham at Christmas, and their eldest grandchild–George–will be king one day. So Doria attending Sandringham at any Christmas is out of the question.
I’m sure Megs wants it to look like she’s close to her mom, but there aren’t any opportunities for her to pull that stunt again, like she did with the cookbook. Megs isn’t going to be given any future engagements where she can bring her mom along. The UK media isn’t going to publish pap pictures of the two out for a walk together due to pressure from the royal family. So she’s got Sandringham left as her only option, and we can all bet that the Queen is going to say no on that one.
I suspect Megs is working the refs (Queen, Philip & Charles) to get them to allow her mother to be there. I don’t believe Doria is going to be there. I suspect Doria probably doesn’t want to be there either. But Megs feels she has to keep her names in the headlines, and she had her first Christmas at Sandringham last year with her poo emoji hat. She’s running out of things that will create headlines since she’s burned through all the “firsts” already.
I’d be very surprised if it did happen though. Like, the only way to prove it would be if Doria attended church with the family on Christmas Day, and I can’t see that happening.

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.

DOES MM LEAK TO THE PRESS? TAROT READING – NOVEMBER 8TH, 2018
This has been requested for a while, most recently by @opinioniste. Thought I’d look into it and see what I got. Tell me your thoughts and send requests as always. See ya soon. -TT
“Is MM leaking to the press about her life?”
(Nine of Swords; QOC (Sun); Five of Swords (Death/Ace of Pentacles Rx/Ace of Swords Rx/Seven of Pentacles Rx/Nine of Pentacles Rx); Four of Pentacles Rx (High Priestess Rx); Strength Rx (Judgement Rx); KOC Rx (Knight of Cups Rx/Six of Wands Rx); Lovers Rx (Star/Seven of Cups/Two of Cups Rx/Magician); Page of Swords (Seven of Swords Rx); Knight of Wands Rx; Tower Rx (Six of Swords Rx/Ace of Cups/Nine of Wands/Two of Pentacles;)
Queen of Pentacles Rx/Empress Rx/King of Pentacles Rx – Top of the Deck
Short answer: hell yes, I think she is leaking (Page of Swords/Knight of Wands Rx/Star/QOC/Ace of Pentacles Rx/Queen of Pentacles Rx).
I think she leaked in the past because she was low on/losing money (Four of Pentacles Rx) and ignored the advice of the BRF on the private, low-key lifestyle of the previous BRF girlfriends (High Priestess Rx).
I think she has slowed down now on the leaking because she’s very very stressed right now (Nine of Swords). Most likely about the pregnancy (QOC/Sun) and how that’s going to work out health-wise.
She’s not leaking as much now because I think she feels guilty/remorseful a little bit in a way about leaking (Nine of Swords). She feels like she said a lot of regretful things and would take back some of the leaking she did, to be honest, knowing the effect it would have on her reputation and credibility in the firm now (Knight of Wands Rx/Sun/Six of Wands Rx).
I also think she got too big for her britches and thought she’d be able to continue to do the leaking she did longer and was rudely awakened by that not being the case (Strength Rx/Knight of Wands Rx/Judgement Rx). She is very restricted now and has to follow more guidelines and rules now, especially since she is pregnant (Knight of Wands Rx/QOC). She did this leaking initally as a way to rebel, same with the cookbook, her way of expressing herself and doing what she wants without being restricted.
I keep seeing this, she’s very very isolated in the BRF. She doesn’t really gel with anyone in the family and doesn’t have many friends. She also feels repressed (Strength Rx/Nine of Swords) because she doesn’t get to live the lifestyles she was living before as an actress (Sun) (traveling wherever whenever, wearing any type of chlothes she wanted to and wearing any designer brands without any criticism, being able to use social media and express herself with her blog and on her social media, etc;). So she’s not really in the mood of really wanting to leak anyway.
I think there has been some changes made (Death) that looks more down upon on “leaking” and all that mess (Ace of Swords Rx/Ace of Pentacles Rx/Seven of Pentacles Rx). Like she’s being more reprimanded lately over the leaking (Seven of Swords Rx/Judgemnt Rx) and has/will suffer some consquences for doing that. Guessing the seperate households was an example of consquences she’s facing because of that.
It’s not in her best interest to leak right now, to be honest (QOC/Judgement Rx). I think if she does leak, she has to look over her shoulder and do it (Five of Swords) because it’s not like she’d get backed up if she did it, the only support she has is Harry, no one else is backing her actions really.
I think she has some conflict with both Charles and William (KOC Rx/Death) because of the leaking and also how two-faced she is about it (Knight of Cups Rx). Like she’ll lie sometimes (Ace of Swords Rx) and say it’s not her when it is.
William feels like the leaking will eventually or is now starting to bring unnecessary attention to them (Knight of Cups Rx/Six of Wands Rx) and sees her as calculating and two-faced (Knight of Cups Rx). Charles doesn’t like it because the money’s not going to the firm and better-ment of the firm (Seven/Nine of Pentacles Rx) but for her own self and she’s using the “leaking” money to overspend more than she would with just the budget she’s given (Nine of Pentacles Rx) and it’s putting Charles in “debt” (even though their still fine finicially but you get what I mean).
I also think MM was doing this for a while and lying about it and got caught red-handed (Seven of Swords Rx) which is why she’s also hesistant to do it now then in the past on top of Willy and Charlie being against it.
I think she lied about doing this for a while y’all (Lovers Rx) specifically to Harry and would pretend she was innocent in all of this (Seven of Cups) and this is just the media “attacking” her but she was masterminding it (Magician/Star). Literally, Star card, is spilling the tea.
She was reckless and all over the place with how she did it (of course) and that’s why she got caught red-handed so easily (Knight of Wands Rx/HP Rx).
I also think she’s worried about something Samantha might say (QOC/Nine of Swords) and/or Thomas (KOC Rx) and how that would make Thomas feel and affect their relationship (Lovers Rx). Samantha or Thomas may be coming out with an unfavourable story about her or an unfavourable leak comes out about them that stresses Meghan and makes her feel really down (Nine of Swords/Strength Rx).
She’s trying to move on from this (Six of Swords) and fix all the strained relationships she has with others because of the leaking and press-gobbing she’s done (Ace of Cups). She’s also trying to focus on the pregnancy. But she is very anxious and still on the look-out for more bombs/negative articles and/or leaks to drop, out of consquences for her starting the leaking on her life in the first place (Nine of Wands/Two of Pentacles).
That’s all I got. Hope you enjoyed. See ya soon. -TT
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.
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 twoposts this morning quoting articles about Megs from her leaks to American media. The girl doesn’t know when to shut up to the press.
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.
“Confession: It is so trashy that Megan a). announced her pregnancy to the BRF at Eugenie’s wedding and b). officially announced her pregnancy on the international awareness day for lost pregnancies and infants.

“Meghan can’t follow royal protocol if her life depended on it. Her curtsies are atrocious, her skirt lengths are inappropriate, and she has zero respect for the Queen (ie turning her back on her, not wearing a fascinator when the Queen did). If Kate did any of this stuff she would have been raked over coals for it, so Meghan does not deserve an easy pass. She either needs to shape up and stand with the firm, or get out. The BRF was built on tradition, and it’s not going to change for her.” – Submitted by Anonymous
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.
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…
This is a highly requested post. Thought I’d look into it and see what I got. Send feedback and requests as always. Personal readings will be up on the sideblog @talking-personal-tarot on Wednesday. Hope you enjoy. -TT
“Why did the Sussex’s and Cambridge’s split households?”
They weren’t/aren’t getting along (Three of Cups Rx/Ace of Swords Rx).
There is a reason royals don’t show PDA (along with them being old
school and private about there lives) it draws attention away from the
work. Every headline on this tour is about them touching each other or
lovingly looking into each other’s eyes. What is a dubbo, what is there
plight, what’s happening with there people. I don’t know because of
BANANA BREAD. Your job is not to be cute. It’s to bring attention to
things so people can help/support those issues. Your constant touching
and cuddling under umbrellas is not modernizing the family or bringing
them into the 21st century, it’s DISTRACTING! They need tot stop acting
like teenagers in there first relationship and grow up. Your marriage is
also a job it time you start doing it. Maybe if you would have stopped
for 10 seconds to think about that before you got married you would have
known it’s not the job you wanted. STEP UP, OR STEP OUT!
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.
No one loves the spotlight the way these two love the spotlight. They are true Kardashians who want to live their lives in full view of the public. I laugh whenever I remember that people were so worried about whether Meghan could endure “life in the fishbowl.” She loves the fishbowl! This has been her dream!!
PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE DIVORCE READING – OCTOBER 27TH, 2018
Per @wempresstarot request, thought I’d take a look and see what I get regarding the divorce. Thanks for all the well wishes you guys have sent me in the past few days. I am doing good now and ready to start some more readings. For personal readings, I’m making a side-blog to put all the personal tarot readings on so I don’t cover the main blog with them all. The blog is called @talking-personal-tarot Hope you enjoy the reading. See ya soon. -TT
Sit down and relax guys because this is a hefty reading.
“How will PH and MM divorce play out?”
This will be a very challenging divorce,for sure (Ten of Wands – crown of spread).
This marriage will go to crap basically when the love runs out (Page of Cups Rx) and it specifically becomes about material things..period (Four of Pentacles Rx).
Harry came up a lot in this spread, so I’m going to see this as a sign that the cards are specifically talking about Harry in some of these sections of the layout.
Harry wants a wife (Empress/Two of Cups). He wants a family to be specific (Four of Wands) and a partnership (Two of Cups). One based on love (Empress) not mainly material things (Four of Pentacles). That’s what he wanted out of this marriage and he doesn’t get it which is why the divorce happens.
The divorce starts to unravel because Harry (Hermit/Knight of Pentacles Rx) starts to feel like he is bound (Devil/Two of Wands Rx) to this marriage and it starts to feel like a contract relationship (Judgement) rather than one of more love (Empress) and compassion (Moon/Four of Wands/Two of Cups), which is what he wanted originally.
Be prepared for a divorce announcement or at least things to start heading that way when one or them (I’m going to say Harry since he is very prominent in this particular spread) starts to go into Hermit Mode (legit – Hermit) and starts to really isolate themselves (Four of Pentacles/Ten of Wands/Hermit). One of them is going to start to be very cold to the other, and it’s going to be very noticeable (Page of Cups Rx/Strength). It’ll get to the point where it’ll only be about business and apperances for themkind of like Charles and Diana (Four of Pentacles) and I know a lot of you are like “they already are like that”, well not just yet.
Literally Ten of Wands, when I looked it up, said as a meaning, “left holding the baby”. So I guess someone in this marriage is going to be left (if/when the baby is born – think it will go to term but free will exists and anything can happen) with the baby in their hands, on their own.
I think Harry will be fighting this on his own (Ten of Wands).
While I was typing this, it was announced the Cambridge and Sussex households are separating, which makes even more sense why Harry feels so isolated during this divorce.
Meghan’s going to try and hold onto this marriage (Four of Pentacles/Devil) and get all the material assets she can get out of it before she’s out (Strength/Seven of Pentacles/World).
The BRF is going to be very upset with Harry because of all the mess he made with this marriage (Knight of Pentacles Rx/Ten of Pentacles Rx) but even with that they still will support him and have a whole bunch of lawyers waiting for him (King/Queen of Swords). They want him to learn from this just like everyone else (Five of Cups Rx). Looks like some legal issues around this divorce (King of Swords/Justice/Judgement).
Lots of negotiations/compromises/deals are going to made during this divorce (Page of Swords/King of Swords). Lots of burdens and worry and stress surrounding this divorce (Ten/Nine of Wands).
I see the Queen (Empress/Lily/Anchor) really telling Harry to go take a break or some strong female in his life (Empress/Ten of Swords Rx/Four of Swords). She’s going to feel like this is a sitution that’s lost all control (Chariot Rx). Harry’s going to feel sooooo guilty after this I feel (Star Rx/Nine of Wands). Harry and his team are sort of fighting of monsters because of this divorce, sort of like a video game. Fighting off everything because a lot of the stuff coming Harry and Meghan’s way after this divorce is nothing but bad press (Page of Swords/Nine of Wands). Also,I’m getting sort of the same cards around Harry that I got in January, same sort of feeling of Harry going into retreat mode after this marriage collapses.
I don’t think he’s going to be able to sleep very well (Moon/Nine of Swords Rx) when this all goes down. He might already be having sleeping problems now but when the divorce hits, it’s only going to get worse.
Harry might even have a secret(Moon),“special friend” (Two of Cups/Empress) during this divorce while he copes. Someone he confides into while he’s in retreat mode (Four of Swords).
I kind of feel bad for Harry because emotionally he is terrible after this divorce. He feels so low of himself in a way (Star Rx/Chariot Rx/Nine of Swords Rx/Moon).
I got Wheel of Fortune while asking for clarifiers, so again this separation is inevitable.
I pulled some cards on this, specifically asking for timing. I think this will all go down, by if not already fully, next fall (Ace of Swords/Justice), maybe even into the winter months (Seven of Cups Rx), specifically when the blinders come off (Seven of Cups Rx) and I keep seeing some legal issues or disputes around this divorce (Ace of Swords/Justice). Some scandal or bad news may come out around it or sometime before that sort of kicks the divorce proceeding in gear, if you get me (Star Rx/Chariot Rx/Eight of Wands Rx/Death Rx).
Harry’s so almost hysterical and all over the place emotionally (Page of Cups Rx/Star Rx), his family really has too push him to be more rational in his decision making (King of Swords). Like he’s so done and sad over it, he’s just like “give her what she wants, take it all” in a very self-deprecating matter.That’s why he has so many lawyers around, not just for protection but to cover him and his dumb dumb mistakes he makes because he’s not thinking clearly(King/Queen of Swords).
Meghan will probably come out of this..okay. Like she’ll still find another man (Strength/Lovers/Seven of Pentacles). But I see her trying to fight the world off (Seven of Wands/World). The opposition/bad gossip of her climbs and climbs. She’s going to try as hard as she can to make something out of this divorce (Lovers/Seven of Pentacles), probably something involving writing but it’ll be half-done as per usual (Three of Pentacles Rx). Some pay-out of some sort surrounding her (Seven of Pentacles).
Meghan’s going to try and be relentless in getting what she wants (Seven of Wands/World/Strength/Four of Pentacles). She is going to try and get all the money she can and bring Harry down if that’s all she can do (King of Pentacles RxEight of Pentacles). She’s going to practically beg for a pay out (Six of Pentacles/Ace of Wands) because she feels like she deserves it (Eight of Pentacles) because she’s the mother of his child (Queen of Pentacles) or just because she felt she was “a loving and compassionate wife” during this marriage in the first place. She’s disillusioned (Ace of Cups Rx/QOC Rx) into thinking she can get out of this marriage with everything she wants and her plan to get all the material things out of this at the end of it all will work (Seven of Swords Rx). Scandal around this divorce, probably before (QOC Rx). I hope Harry’s got all his legal crap together because she’s not going to back down till she gets what she wants (Three of Pentacles Rx).
I also think what leads to this divorce is the fun/love/intimacy (Strength/Lovers) of this relationship goes to crap.
All that passion they had in the beginning, runs as dry as a piece of stale bread by next fall.
Again, when one of them starts to withdraw from the PDA strongly, and starts to become cold and stand-offish, your divorce alarm bells should start to go off (Four of Cups). I think Meghan will be the one to start to withdraw from PDA will him at least privately and start to act really cold with him (Four of CupsQueen of Wands). Her team or the press will try to twist it as this independent woman, feminism type of deal (Queen of Wands). Kind of like how when she wears all those terrible colors and the press says “This Color Means Meghan Loves Harry” or “What Meghan Markle’s Dress Color tells us about how much Meghan Loves Harry”, ridiculous headlines like that. I’m all for feminism but not when it’s done in bad taste or for sympathy points. This is done to deflect from the fact that she’s acting distant on purpose because the divorce is impending.
I feel like Meghan’s officially done when the money and jewels stop being given to her (Nine of Pentacles/Eight of Wands Rx) and/or she gets bored (Four of Cups) and feels like she has got all she can out of it at that very point (Nine of Pentacles). That’s probably why she’s getting everything at lightning speed, so she can get bored of royal life quicker. Meghan is so self-absorbed during this divorce, it’s not even funny (Four of Cups/QOW/Nine of Pentacles). She definitely has HER OWN best interest at heart in this divorce (Nine of Pentacles/Four of Cups).
Harry’s the emotional one, all crying and stuff and she’s the logical, cold one, sitting down and writing out the plans and contracts with her team like it’s any other business agreement.
She starts to get volatile and out of control when she doesn’t get what she wants (Eight of Wands Rx). She’ll probably have a blow-up about something at one point.
Nothing but arguing and again, conflict/burdens/dispute/issues surrounding this divorce.
I think the marriage is in crap for a while before someone officially takes the step and files (Fool). This divorce is a new start for the both of them and a hope for a brighter future than they were going originally.
Lots of drama and issues surrounding this divorce (Eight of Swords). Legal issues around this (Eight of Swords) and someone goes into a depression mode as a result of this. My guess is Harry since he popped up in the spread so much. This divorce makes them bith realize how damaging and unhealthy their relationship (Five of Pentacles Rx) and it’s good for the both of them, even if Harry can’t see it. This divorce is them officially letting go (Eight of Cups) of the baggage they’ve been carrying around with this relationship and the dead weight it has (Six of Swords Rx). Like I said before, this marriage is way over before the divorce or annulment is filed. Someone bails on the other (Tower Rx/Six of Swords Rx/Eight if Cups/Fool).
I think this divorce/relationship has caused a lot of rifts in the family (Ten of Cups Rx) and this divorce causes someone from the family to have to come and help Harry (Magician) even though they are conflicted (Two of Swords Rx). I think it’s William, who helps him out in the end (King of Cups).
“Timing Wise?”
This is a very short-lived marriage (Scythe). Meghan in this, is trying to get what she wants (Fox/Woman) and they try to find an agreement (Bear/Letter) fast (Scythe). Distrust and egotism all in Meghan’s part (Fox/Letter). Shady, shady girl she is. Lots of greed coming up (Letter/Fish).
I think the months May and winter-time are very important (Tree/Child/Lily/Anchor). This is inevitable (Tree/Anchor). I feel like this child pushes them to come clean about something (Child/Anchor/Book/Lily). Winter Time(Late Dec./January through March) came up in the middle of the spread (Lily), so I think something will start around winter/late fall and something will be heard about it officially by that next spring, ironically around their wedding anniversary (Tree/Child). Even more shady, I see something happening around someone’s celebration whether that be a anniversary, birthday, or hoilday.
It will be over by/before 2020-2021 for sure (Judgement/World). I keep getting January and February over and over again. So sometime around that.
That’s all I got for the divorce reading guys. Hope you enjoyed it. Send me your thoughts and feedback on this reading. All personal readings have been moved to my sideblog called @talking-personal-tarot btw. Thanks for the support as always. See ya later -TT
It sure does. Post should be up soon about it. I can’t believe the Sussex brand is that problematic that the Cambridges were like “nah, we’re done” lol.
Oh, I can believe they’re that problematic. I have no doubt that more drama is going to come down the pike.
She made it all about herself, as usual. I don’t think it was appropriate to have her give it, as she never served in the military, but I think it’s now becoming clear that Harry thinks of Invictus as his personal fief. They are there to serve him, and not the other way around.
