She didn’t think there would be an uproar over her stealing Eugenie’s thunder, so now the walk back. Another thing she didn’t expect, people calling her out for wearing a huge coat to suggest she’s pregnant and then show up days later in a skin tight dress. That white dress will haunt her this whole tour. Everyone is saying that because there is no visible baby bump, she could have waited to announce. She’s AWFUL at PR and yet she was supposed to be the pro

anonymoushouseplantfan:

That’s why I find that Bazaar article so amusing. She wore a maternity coat to the wedding! Of course she was announcing it there. She loves props.

The palace and royal watchers have made it clear that the pregnancy wasn’t announced at Eugenies wedding. The family hadn’t seen the couple before so they took the time to congratulate them during the reception. Check your news 🙄

No, it was clearly announced then. If there are other press reports coming out today saying otherwise, then it’s because Harry and Megs are backtracking due to outrage that they announced at Eugenie’s wedding. Even Meghan’s friend Lainey noted that they announced at the wedding.

I completely agree with your assessment of Meghan. I still can’t comprehend how the RF have allowed this all to happen so easily. It’s been like taking candy from a baby for her.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I forgot to add the weird Diana worship to the list. It’s like watching a cheesy 80s miniseries or a Mexican telenovela. 

I don’t think the brf could do anything. It’s clear that a lot of “protocols” and “rules” that people thought existed actually don’t. 

Well, it also doesn’t help that her partner-in-crime, Harry, is aiding and abetting her in all this. 

I see this as a pr stunt typical of MM. No way you defy a UK Gov warning for pregnant women to avoid the islands then you go there anyway? That is not what the RF does. This is not what responsible adults do. Will Kate and Harry did not go to the Rio Olympics because of Zika but now a allegedly pregnant woman is going to Zika territory? She isn’t pregnant. And I am not in denial. NO sane person risks this. Cue the miscarriage (fake like the pregnancy).

I don’t think she’s faking. I don’t think her famewhore self cares because she thinks this is her moment to shine on the world stage. Fetus health and safety be damned.

How inconsiderate can two be to announce pregnancy on a pregnancy and infant loss day? And in Australia the announcement was at 7pm, the exact hour when parents light their candles for the babies.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Whelp.

http://www.sands.org.au/latest-news/256-international-pregnancy-infant-pregnancy-loss-remembrance-day-15-october

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 don’t think H&M could wait until the end of the Tour to announce the pregnancy,because the Tour was not generating interest that H&M was expecting and the ‘negative articles($1M security bill) was spreading rapidly and they were obviously worried about MM low popularity in Australia,Harry is extremely popular but MM is not,they announced on the very day the trip commenced the pregnancy news in order to get them instant publicity and public goodwill,now the articles are Sugar AF

anonymoushouseplantfan:

This gives them a lot more press, and they are all about the press.

Even Lainey–LAINEY!!–noted that they could have waited a day or two to announce.

Princess Anne’s conversation with Meghan on Friday suddenly makes sense

Princess Anne’s conversation with Meghan on Friday suddenly makes sense

A conversation between The Princess Royal and the Duchess of Sussex on Friday at the wedding of Princess Eugenie suddenly makes a lot more sense following the news of her pregnancy.

On Friday morning, Royal Central reported that the Duchess of Sussex and Princess Anne exchanged in a lengthy and animated conversation in St George’s Chapel as they waited for the arrival of the bride.

The Duchess…

View On WordPress

So, yes, she told everyone AT THE WEDDING before the bride had even walked down the aisle! The only person or persons they needed to inform were THE QUEEN and the Prince of Wales before a public announcement was made. This could have been done later and IN PRIVATE to those two persons.

Omg THE TEA in that reading regarding Meghan & Kate. Im sure Kate doesnt give 2 horse turds about Meghan. Kate has secured her place as the future Princess Of Wales & Queen Consort with 3 beautiful babies. Shes livin the high life with a hubby who adores her. I don’t understand what Meghan wants. Shes gotten everything—including an obvious unlimited wardrobe budget. I mean what exactly is she pissed off at Kate for? She knew Kate was returning to work, so why the beef?

wempresstarot:

Right? It caught me off guard at first – I was doing an H&M-reading, not a K&M one. Why was she popping up in every spread? There is something there with Meghan against Kate. I’ll have to honour the anon who requested a reading about these two. -On it like a car bonnet anon!

For the rest, I suppose if you pin all your happiness on material things or constant stimuli that a certain type of attention brings – then you will never be satisfied, no matter how much you are given. Because it’s honestly hard to see what her Beef® is. I asked #TT for some of her #RazorSharp insights on said Beef®, so we should hopefully know more about the reason for those sour vibes!

Megsy is insecure. Insecure people always have issues with people who aren’t insecure. 

Kate is not insecure.

keepingupwiththebananadrama:

Yeah, um, she could stay in Australia and attend all of the Invictus Games events, but that would mean that Megsy would have to do work. I doubt she wants to do that.

I bet this blind is more about Megsy trying to get her way on something rather than actually being pregnant. It would be nice if people remembered she looked like this 10 days ago (Oct 3):

Rather than this yesterday (Oct 12) where she kept her coat on and tried to look pregnant:

LOL “Meghan feels less important than Catherine and it eats away at her quietly.” OMG I just spit out my tea LMFAO! Like seriously? This. Chick. Is. Bananas. 😂 why/how would she think she’d be more important than the FUTURE PRINCESS OF WALES?!?!!! Wwhhhhaaaaattttt 🤦‍♀️ I cant right now.

talkingtarot:

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.

The new Daily Mail article about Soho House makes me sick. Talk about the apex of elitist, louche, vapid celebrity BS. I’m so glad William and Kate stay far away. Harry really is the Duke of Windsor and William is George VI.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

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.

Meghan is an exhibitionist. If she really was pregnant and had a tiny bump she’d be wearing the tightest clothes possible to accentuate her belly, there’s no way she’d try to disguise a baby bump if she actually had one, heck she’d be wearing crop tops. She’s wearing the pleated skirts and flare top because she doesn’t have a bump but wants to try and stir shit up.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Crop tops! LOLOLOLOLOL.

But, yes, that’s another reason why I don’t think she’s pregnant. You don’t need fifty thousand pleats and folds if you have a real baby bump.

So nice of the DM to remind us that once upon a time, Rachel wrote in The Tig that she wants a cookbook and a travel collaboration. I guess Grenfell kitchen is her cookbook and the Aussie tour is her travel collaboration. She should be sure to thank the BRF for helping her make her dreams come true

anonymoushouseplantfan:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6193933/Meghan-Markle-dreamed-releasing-cookbook-YEARS-unveiled-Together.html

I have to admit this is pretty impressive. Most people think of the royal life as one of service and sacrifice, but Meghan has made it all about self-actualization.

So maybe Harry put Meghan in charge of KP Twitter bc he thought she was SM savvy or that’s how she sold it to him. . I love how the Italian wedding a few weeks ago totally shitted all over Meghan’s. Dior made 5.2 million in online advertising for that wedding. I think this is what Meghan is aiming for and she sold that bs to Harry. Branding is where the money is It just not working for Meghan bc she’s boring. This is all about money.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Fame too.

keepingupwiththebananadrama:

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 was on vacation in a Markle free zone so I am just catching up but dam – that dress at Hamilton. She isn’t even trying to hide it. She is done with the royal pretense and going straight for the H Wood celeb shit. And she is giving the RF the finger while she is at it. Revenge of the narc. She is now totally about the merching and her brand. Hope Harry has figured this out cause this is in the end stages.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

It’s a big celeb pivot. She’s even using KP twitter to like celeb tweets. 

I may start turning the blog into #divorcewatch or something like that because I do not even see the point of applying royal standards to this woman or comparing her to Kate or any of the other royals. Meghan is NOT a royal and is not even slightly interested in living up to any standards. 

She half-assed it after the wedding to check off all the royal events and establish her royal “brand,” but that’s it. She’s now gone full celeb, and it’s a bit like following Countess Luanne and her latest boy toy. Yes, Luanne was technically a Countess and very amusing and exciting to follow, but there was nothing even slightly aristocratic about her at all. Meghan is like that. She’s technically a duchess, but it’s just a name. Outside of that she’s just another C-list celeb trying to sell herself as a humanitarian lifestyle maven.

What some people and harry seem to keep forgetting is that protocol and tradition isn’t just there to be annoying and stuffy. Basically it goes like this. If you don’t act like a Royal they won’t treat you like a Royal and once they stop treating you like Royal, soon you won’t be one. If you become to much “we’re just like you” then they start to wonder “if your just one of us, why am I paying for all your shit”. 1/2

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Protocol is one of the many subtle way they signal to the public that they are “different”. If harry (and meg) continue to rebuff the protocol they will contribute to the crumbling facade of the Royal Family and it’s eventual demise. 2/2


Exactly! At this point, how is Meghan any different from Priyanka? She has a title and taxpayer funding and that’s it. 

And I think that’s why interest is flagging right now. What makes the royals interesting is precisely the fact that they have to follow all of these rules. It’s clear that Meghan is not subject to anything, so what’s the point.

RE: Kensington Palace’s Instagram is liking Priyanka Chopra’s post about Meghan’s cookbook. She definitely took it over. There are two Kensington Palace accounts on twitter and they post exactly same things and they have same heading and profile picture. Maybe there are something about instagram too.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Are you saying it’s not the real KP account.

I seem to remember a rumor this past spring that Megs had the password to the Kensington Palace twitter account before the wedding happened.

The Kay article is calling MM out and alerting the public to Meghan’s new royal rules. Yes it is incendiary. The Brits will hate it. It shows a lack of respect for their institution. MM don’t care she only cares about US market. Kay is a PC mouthpiece. MM made it very clear today she has given up on the royal thing and is full on headed towards her post Harry life. Unless she is so out of control and overexcited she forgets herself?

I don’t think she’s giving up the royal thing yet. I think she’s savoring her moments in the limelight. She can never have enough of that. 

image

I think her confidence at this event was something altogether. I think she sees this as the start of her Diana campaign. She got good press with the book launch so she went full on into this in Diana mode. Hugging people and behaving like the great humanitarian she thinks she is. This is her “we’re going to change the world” moment. She’ll behave like this from now on I think. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yep.

All we have to do is wait until next week with her “Oceania” exhibit engagement.

I never believed MM was a narc, I always thought she was just someone who took a golden opportunity and used it to her best advantage. Now… I’m not so sure. With this cookbook all she did was hook the charity up with a publisher but she was taking all the credit. The foreword was all about her, her favourite food, where she lived and it was exactly the same with the speech. It was about her favourite things, how she loves the diversity etc. Now I’m sure she’s got her because she’s a narc

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Exactly. The royals have done this for decades and the foreword is always short with maybe one personal anecdote and they are never on the cover. It’s a HUGE contrast.

Self serving Douch@ss called out by DM

“The trips were so secret she took only a small camera crew with her, all the better to make a tiny film" 

“And while it would be wrong to think the caring Duchess is using the people of Grenfell to burnish her own caring credentials, isn’t there something a tiny bit self-serving at the heart of this endeavour?”

Jan Moir calls out Meghan. Scroll down for the blurb. I think all UK journalists are so onto her. It’s a matter of walking the fine line between hanging onto their jobs and being able to say what they really think. 


Thanks for sending this in! I think everyone knows what this was really about.

BTW, I hadn’t noticed that gorgeous pink coat. The community kitchen ladies were serious styling during this event.

Richard Kay says it was completely appropriate that Doria was there… um in what world? He’s like oh we’d never see Carole at an engagement – yeah because Carole doesn’t need to come along and Kate is fine on her own… honestly!

motherofbulldogs:

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I think Kay is getting this crap straight from Meghan. That explains why he has been blaming the royals for the Markle debacle all along.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6053117/RICHARD-KAY-Royals-handling-Thomas-Markle-debacle-turning-existential-crisis.html

Exactly. This is what Meghan is saying through KP using Richard Kay as a mouthpiece. She’s trying to normalize her non-royal mother as part of the royal family for her appearances.

“I don’t think she’s trying to outshine Kate specifically” – Sorry to disagree, but I think it is. If M supporters dont have direct access to her, at least they had always been on tune. Her sugars are already building a narrative that Kate charity is something on the same level that she’ll start after and planning compare if K goes so well and take Carole bc, then, that would be her first own project. Most are highlighting the “speech” without notes, bc is the only thing she does better than K.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I don’t mind people disagreeing with me. I just think that Meghan has ambitions outside the royal sphere, so I don’t think Kate is what she’s measuring herself against. She’s not using the royal yardstick anymore. She was still using it during Wimbledon, but she knows that thanks to her family she can’t meet the royal standards, so now she’s pivoting hard towards celebrity. Her competition is Chrissy Tiger, Posh, Amal, Angeline, and Gwyneth now. 

Yeah, but Megs can’t sustain a competition with those celebrities long term.

Ya’ll were right when you said it was Megs cookbook. All about her. Could you imagine the uproar if Kate had taken Carole along to her official engagements!

anonymoushouseplantfan:

The only good thing about the cookbook is that it brought publicity to the Grenfell women and helped them tell their stories. Meghan, of course turned the spotlight on herself with the pics, the video and the foreword, but it was still kind of nice that she was willing to highlight the work of the kitchen.

But she ruined all of that now. Doria’s presence will overshadow EVERYTHING. Meghan just made it 100% clear that her goal here wasn’t to help the kitchen. Her goal was to use the Grenfell name to get as much publicity as possible for herself.

In the video, Harry caught up to them at the car before they started walking. He then purposely walked behind Meghan…. what the hell?! This is such a bad look for the royal family. Harry, you are the royal blood. You need to walk infront! Imagine if William ever did that to kate… everyone would freak out!

anonymoushouseplantfan:

That’s where their relationship is right now. Charles had to step in and save her wedding. The Sam Cohen “pretty pink princess” makeover was a dud. Her family attacked her all summer long and the brf did nothing. The public doesn’t see her as a real royal. 

Meghan is pissed and feeling like a victim right now. She thinks she’s the real star and these people should be doing a better job of protecting her and supporting her, and they are most definitely not doing their job. Thanks to their incompetence her “royal” launch wasn’t the success she expected and she spent most of August in a funk. 

But she now sees a light at the end of the tunnel. Now that she has Hamilton and the Grenfell names behind her, she’s feeling like Harry and the brf are maybe not as necessary as she thought, and she can do this on her own, as a celeb and not a royal. She’s not ready to break out yet, after all she still needs that US tour under her belt, but there’s definitely a plan B on the works. Her focus from now on will be promoting herself and Doria, and building up her resume for an eventual break with the brf and a return to the US. To that end she needs (i) the US tour, (ii) some kind of self-produced documentary, (iii) a baby.

PR anon back – a cookbook is standard practice to promo a lifestyle blogger which we all know is MM’s ambition. Be like Gwyneth. In fact Gwyneth did a cookbook before she started Goop. This is no KP project MM is getting this from her US pr firm. Given she started it in January 2018 approx. 6 wks after announcement she planned this pre engagement with her firm. This is what she is after – using Harry to make her post Harry lifestyle influencer (fashion merching included) career

This makes complete sense. And then Kensington Palace had to promote it anyway given that she’s now a part of the royal family. Ugh…
