OMG… Thomas Markle Sr’s sold a weekend’s worth of exclusive interview to The Sun [+on Sunday]…
Since Meghan’s not answering him, he’s texting some poor KP staff, and they’re not answering him either. And it’s been months. Yowza. Tom’s more shrewd than I gave him credit for. In one interview, he managed to make out that his Meggy’s terrified and being pressured by the Royal family, and on Sunday, it’s that he’s going to dies soon and doesn’t anybody care?! (That was for you Meg.) Oh and bonus: he ‘opened up his family album’. Oh daddy…
And he complained that the BRF should have seated Doria with them at the wedding, and not sat alone on Meghans freaking side(!!!) because she had nobody but celebrities there and looked like she was alone. In what universe but the Dingle Universe can you turn the tables around like this? Haha, it’s unbelievable.
She has officially ghosted her own father: “The phone number I had been calling Meghan on is no longer picking up.” LOL omg. Not since the day after their wedding. After which she seems to have burned her old SIM and phone and ditched daddy dearest. So, “I sent a text to my palace contact saying I would like to reach my daughter and got no reply.” Cheesus. This is so classy.
I don’t know if you guys know of the long-running soap “Emmerdale”. But the Markles are JUST like the Dingles on that show (including Meg herself, which I ID as Charity Dingle- prozzie, con artist and cold gold digger extraordinaire).
The BRF can bend over backwards, forwards and tie themselves into a pretzle – in the end, these American Dingles will find a way to blame eeeeverything on them when Meg bails in less than 2 years. They just can’t win this one. All they can do is to make sure there aren’t any ‘incriminating’ images out there to illustrate Meg’s coming narrative – so BIG SMILES EVERYBODY!
Thanks for sending this in! She has completely ghosted him. This is supposed to make his interviews worthless to the press because he has no contact with the royals and hence no news to share regarding any Meghan “trouble.” However, he has completely twisted it around so that the ghosting itself is evidence of Meghan’s troubles.
I think they underestimated the Markles. These guys have been in Hollywood for a while. They know the tricks.
I don’t watch Emmerdale, but I’m going to look up the Dingles. It really is interesting how the BRF will always get blamed, no matter how much money or events they throw at this girl or many protocols they allow her to “break.” The old guard is clenching its jaw as she prances around in shoulder-baring outfits, turning her back on the Queen, Charles is wincing as he signs checks for French couture and worthless foreign tours, the entire family is grimacing as they pose for happy pics…and yet they are all going to get blamed when this turns to shit.
I think your last paragraph really nails it, and, yes, they are probably going to go on a huge “happy families” drive this summer, likely at Balmoral. However, it will be for naught. I think the real onslaught will come in the Fall when Meghan unveils some crap “female empowerment” umbrella program instead of the blockbuster innovative whatever that everyone is expecting.
Very likely, but I think it’s also that Kate has a genuine appreciation for what the BRF stands for and Meghan doesn’t. Kate appreciates British heritage and style and the traditions and pageantry of the BRF. That’s why she gets the details right.
Meghan only cares about the press coverage and the clothes.
Tell me about the. The “humanitarian” label has bothered me since the beginning because she did a week of charity work every year for three years. That was it. Sure, she got a big video for her speech and two glam photoshoots, but THAT WAS IT. About thirty days of work and she’s freaking Mother Theresa.
The only other charity activities they can point to are the school assignments and her sorority activities. I don’t understand how they can hype that as huge humanitarian achievements, and I definitely don’t understand how it’s supposed to have impressed the Queen and the BRF. That skimpy charity resume won’t even get you an MBE, let alone a freaking tiara and “People’s Princess” status.
YES! And it would be one thing if she were actually good at the job, but she isn’t. Yet, here she is patting HM and Harry on the back as if she could judge their job performance.
This relationship just revealed who he truly was, imo. That’s why the royal reporters all jumped on the romance bandwagon while the fandom was still thinking that she was just another press-hungry starlet using his name for publicity. They knew about the celeb-chasing, the Soho House dates and the Botswana booty calls. They’d known for years.
She’s attending a lot of royal events, but there is no charity work and it appears there won’t be any for a long time. And when they announce something it will likely be some crap umbrella that sounds impressive, but it just means she hosts a reception once a year, or a Commonwealth initiative that justifies some travel.
But hands-on charity work is what people expected, given the image she built for herself. She was supposedly someone who was eager to do on-the-ground work with organizations, setting agendas and all that crap. Tbh, that’s what I expected too–honeymoon then lots of church basements and “learning” trips.
But that’s not what happened. She did not like the “regional tour” at all and could barely bother to brush her hair or look interested toward the end. She hates the Jenga games and kid theatre recitals. She likes royal events, posing for paps in designer clothes, and palace receptions, and that’s what they are giving her.
Showing up to these events is a kind of work, but it’s not what people were expecting. It’s probably what we should have expected though. Traveling three hours by train to visit a REC center in Nowheresford-on-the-Knoll is not what Meghan signed up for. Shopping for a 20k crap ensemble she can model for an hour in front of the world press is the kind of “work” she wanted to do.
Her pre-Harry schedule was a yearly week-long “glam humanitarian” photoshoot, lots of vacationing, and lots of shopping and posing. That seems to be her royal schedule too.
I love that Meghan is setting up these copycat photoshoots because the contrasts are genius. Kate with her family and friends watching the game being totally normal in cheap clothes, and Meghan posing with celebs in the VIP area in something that’s five times as expensive and looks ten times worse.
Oh, yeah. I’ve seen it before. AHPF has done a good job cataloging it. It’s so ubiquitous that we hardly even notice it now. This here is a good write-up that AHPF did back in January. I know she did some write-ups after the “statement” was released in 2016, but I just don’t have time to find them.
Yesterday i had randomly come across an online article that talked about how in some situations PDA can mean bad things for a relationship and it got me thinking about Harry and Meghan. The article talked about how even sometimes PDA posts on social media can show that the poster has insecurities about the relationship. I thought about all the clues Meghan was leaving on her instagram and even though she never flat out shared a pic of them kissing it was basically the same thing just more discreet. If she really felt secure and in love with Harry she wouldn’t need to do silly things like that. It wasn’t just her seeking attention imo, she needed the relationship validated somehow. Some quotes from the article: “Exorbitant posting of seemingly positive status may be a thin veil to obscure the real problem: insecurity.”
“The same study concluded that the more times that a partner feels insecure about his partner’s feelings, he tends to make their relationship more visible online. The goal is to compensate by making others who are online feel that everything in the relationship is going smoothly. The more “likes” and other positive comments people receive with regards to their relationships, the more they feel convinced and reassured of the relationship.”
“the more the relationship is secure, the more that the couple would want to keep it private and sacred.”
Meghan leaking constantly about how “perfect” their relationship is, is the equivalent of social media posts. When she had Jess go and fetch her that initial necklace so she could be photographed in it,making everyone believe Harry got it for her and all the times she just had to be photographed with the silly bracelet. It wasn’t for attention because everyone already knew they were together, she was doing it out feelings of insecurity in the relationship. I believe Meghan is the insecure one in the relationship and not Harry. That is why she clings to Harry and when they hold hands she always initiates it. She is extremely insecure about their relationship so she overcompensates in front of the cameras. She needs the world to believe that everything in their relationship is perfect because she knows it’s not. I wouldn’t be surprised if she knew Harry was sleeping with other women when they first starting seeing each other and that’s what made her feel the need to run to the press to reassure herself and the entire world how perfect they are together and how head over hills in love Harry is with her.
I could be totally wrong on this and it’s just my opinion.
Thanks for sending this in! This is a perfectly valid opinion. It would also explain all of the “wonderful Meghan” and “Queen approves” press.
Yup. Harry is going to be the one to drop her. Based on everything seen tonight, he seems done with some of her previous antics of looking super loved up at royal functions tonight. Even if he’s not over her yet, I have no doubt he will be shortly.
It took me a moment to figure out what you were talking about. Are you aware all of this markle daddy issue crap could’ve been avoided if they made an effort to actually see him. She could’ve at least went to go see her dad in person before leaking her own showmance. But because they are so desperate to stay woke, relevant, young, and diverse the only person they made an effort to have physical and public contact with was her mother. Who got her narrative of being a poc. Her father was extremely silent up until the engagement. So why wasn’t he shown the same helping hand? Why was he only given a phone call here and there? It’s one thing to hear over the phone dont talk to so and so, it’s another to physically be there in person expressing your concern and making things clear. And harry is somewhat at fault because if he is as controlling as her PR is making him out to be he should’ve said handle this crap in person or else it will bite you in the ass after the wedding. But that’s just my opinion.
Interesting. I suspected as much with her crappy sample looks.
I expect Fleet Street–and I’m including Piers as part of that–to dump a LOT on her this summer. There is no reason for them to wait. She’s done all the possible big stuff, and the press will need something to publish this summer.
If she could have learned to keep her mouth shut and stop baiting the press for good coverage every two seconds, she might have had more of a chance. But since she doesn’t know how to live without constant press coverage, well, constant press coverage will be what she gets.
Isn’t that interesting? One would expect her to take some time to just enjoy life with the man she supposedly loves, particularly since they spent very little time together during the “whirlwind courtship.” But instead they take breaks and go their own ways and focus on photo ops.
Agree: MM wants max attention 100% of time.She wants to be in the spotlight always just for being who she is.
IMHO (1) problem is there is ZERO content behind all her communication. There is nothing original, creative or authentic, nothing that is productive or contributes, Whether it was her bad acting in Suits, vapid superficial blog with photos of her hugging black children posted weekly from her 2 outfit Rwanda trip, can’t handle a knife cooking show, photoshopped fashion shoots or her self congratulatory “humanitarian” speeches and articles.
Empty vessels make most noise.
As a society, are we more focused on image and surface appearances than any time in the past? I was at two networking events in the last 2 days and the marketing, branding, image, PR people far outweigh the people who develop, grow, build and create the important stuff. That’s the only explanation for how she got where she is. Or do you have another?
Your blog makes you sound like a really sane and rational person so….what fascinates you about her?
No, I don’t have another explanation. This entire “relationship” has been an exercise on branding vs. substance, imo. Meghan is the Pets.com of the royal world. I mean look at all the fantastic work that Will is doing right now, but all we hear about is Meghan’s fluff. That’s the world we live in.
Two things keep me riveted to this train wreck. First, I’m totally fascinated by the Talented Mr. Ripley aspect of it. I really do think that she is a chameleonic con artist using other people to rise up the fame the ladder. She has done it twice before and this time will be no different. I fully expect her to ditch “violent and controlling” Harry in two years and drive off with a royal toddler and a truckload of “official Di collection” and Cartier diamonds.
Second, I’m baffled by the BRFs actions. Why are they allowing this? Are they really this dumb? They probably are, but, cheesus, this is extreme. They are trying really to inoculate themselves from racism accusations with sleepovers with the Queen and tons of stories about how much Charles loves her, but they must know that it’s not going to help.
Maybe, but I think Oprah will direct it towards racial and political stuff and that’s dangerous. I think another problem is people not getting all the lies straight.
I would bet real money that Doria will do (or has already done) that interview.
Can we remember that Megs wouldn’t allow KP to take Thomas “under their wing” before the wedding? That when Megs had KP release a statement it mentioned that Megs “cared for” her father not “cares for.” Past tense vs. present tense.
We should start considering whether these two press idiots–aka Harry & Megs–are already dumb enough to run to Oprah to whine publicly about her family in addition to any interview Doria has already done with Oprah.
I can see these two famewhores doing this after Ascot. It wouldn’t surprise me if they did. They wouldn’t want to wait a year or two for an interview with someone so well known. They’d want to do it as soon as possible so that they can maintain their hype and press interest. The thing is, once they do something like this, then it’s game on for the rest of the UK press to do what they do best.
2/2 – Do you listen to Lainey’s podcasts? Her co-podcast producer mentioned that they used to do a lot of fashion/entertainment/regional hotspot segments with local based celebrities. Apparently there is a LOT of b-roll sitting around Toronto with Rachel fake-lifestyle guruing. The producer mentioned she though Rachel was basic AF, and it was jarring to have one of their own (or someone even lower than them on the thirsty-social TO totem pole) in the BRF.
Thanks, I don’t listen to the podcast, so this is interesting.
They discuss Megs and the wedding for the first 17 and a half minutes. Sasha openly says that Megs did NOT come across as completely genuine during the wedding.
They also discuss Meg’s fashion disaster from her first outing as a royal.
I think Lainey actually even says during the podcast that she’s not sure she’s ever liked Meghan’s style.
You know, things Lainey will say talking on a podcast that she won’t put in writing for her readers…
It’s been a while since my opinionated self was last teed off, but there was something in the press releases regarding the new Duchess of Sussex’s coat of arms that really annoyed me. I haven’t posted anything on the coat of arms as there is so much about it that I don’t understand or just find ridiculous. There are numerous blogs that have been posting a ton of good stuff on the topic though.
But the coat of arms in and of itself is not really what bothers me. What it does is highlight a trend that I, and I’m sure many others would have noticed over the past few months. Just look at this headline:
“Her biggest break in royal tradition yet…” What is this, a world record attempt to see how many rules or how big a rule current royals can break? I was pretty sure that I’d seen similar phrasing before, so I had a brief look to see how often this theme comes up with regards to the newly minted Sussexes.
There are literally, pages upon pages of articles listed on google about Harry and/or Meghan “Breaking Royal Tradition/Breaking Protocol”. The shot above does not even begin to illustrate how many articles there are out there with the headline being some form of “breaking tradition/protocol/rules.” And before anyone goes “it’s the media’s fault”, the BRF does have some leverage over what the media reports, especially in the UK, so I doubt that we would be inundated with so many similar articles if this wasn’t somehow linked to a PR push of sorts. (Why they push in this particular direction is beyond me.)
Rule breaking has been a recurring theme in the media for the entirety of the Sussex’s relationship. It’s almost as if they’re both stuck in a perpetual teenage phase where rule breaking is cool just because it’s rule breaking. Where is the logic in that, I do not know. But it really does seem to be just petty rule breaking for the sake of rule breaking. Because what kinds of “rules” are they breaking anyway? Here’s one right under the headline:
To name just a few of the things that the media has so nicely pointed out for us over the past few months (this last month especially), the Sussex’s “rule/tradition breaking” consists of being total rebels over things like a cake flavor, kissing for photographers on the steps of St George’s Chapel when none has ever kissed there for photographers before, having a foreigner speak at their wedding, having only very young wedding attendants, choosing their own ‘style’ of wedding music (these ones are from legit articles btw, I’m not making them up). Also, leaking on social media, not waiting until marriage to undertake tours together/issue statements on official letterheads (by the non-royal fiancee), no walking down the aisle with the bride’s father (many women do this for various reasons, but Meghan’s the progressive trendsetter y’all), not inviting family to their
wedding while inviting a ton of people they may not know very well, possibly spending taxpayer money on leisure trips together while dating, announcing that one or both are feminists on multiple occasions, etc. Real ground breaking stuff that gets touted as “modern” and “progressive”.
Now what kinds of rules did they NOT break? Here’s one example that I’ve posted about before:
The Sussexes did not see it as modern/necessary to go against rules/traditions (whether formal or just within the family) that involve bridal jewellery (the type of wedding ring for the bride and the source of materials used – the Queens vault; the bridal tiara tradition and the tiara source – again, the Queen’s vault; the Cartier wedding gifts; the Diana ring), the carriage ride (even though this is one tradition that ~30K UK citizens WANTED them to break), the multiple receptions with their dress (and suit?) changes, the acceptance of titles by the newly married couple, the receipt of a home appointed by the Crown with an upkeep that is potentially financed by the taxpayer, etc, etc. I mean, who would dare break such rules/traditions? Not the feminist, progressive modernizing-the-monarchy Sussexes of all people. SMH.
For all the rule breaking the Sussexes have done, I cannot recall them having ever broken one that “matters” in terms of making a social statement. They could’ve made really strong, positive ones about family and race issues at the wedding for example, but they fell short on that one too. They’re just happy to “break tradition” willy-nilly and be touted as “modernizing” and “progressive” as long as it doesn’t have anything (negative) to do with their bottom line or stop them from parading in front of an audience. If it costs them and not someone else, then by no means do they want to break tradition. Honestly, every time I see a title like this:
…I wonder what the hell these people are smoking. The BRF may be an ancient institution and uphold many traditions, but they are fairly modern by world standards in the way they operate. As stuffy as being a royal wife may be, these BRF women have more rights and are more involved/included/acknowledged than women in some other royal families/other parts of the world have been IMO. In all honesty, if ever there was a royal bride whose name I would consider in the same sentence as the phrase “modernizing the royal family” it would be Lalla Salma of Morocco (who sadly, the media reports as being recently divorced).
As a bit of background, prior to Lalla Salma’s wedding to the King of Morocco, Moroccan women lacked a lot of the rights that western women enjoy and were subject to the decision making of their male counterparts. The monarch had multiple wives whom he never publicly acknowledged and swapped out as he pleased. Lalla Salma, a computer science graduate, was the woman whose marriage changed the status quo. She was the first Moroccan monarch’s wife to be publicly acknowledged, champion charitable causes, accompany her husband at public events and represent him in an official capacity. She was the first woman to get a Moroccan King to promise her that she would be the only wife, and that he would not hide her away. During her tenure as consort, women within Moroccan society gained rights and privileges that were formerly restricted to men. Now that is what I call modernizing the monarchy. Modernizing a society even. That is royal leverage used well, and I say this of both Lalla Salma and her (ex?) husband. This is an example of the kind of effort a royal couple would have to put in to get the kind of acclaim the Sussexes are trying to court. But it doesn’t happen over night. It took the Moroccans years, and they’re still in the process of change.
I would also add that not all monarchies currently need modernizing IMHO. The need for modernizing stems from a cultural climate that is stuck in a system of beliefs/values/traditions that a lot of the “modern world” had already left behind. This need for “modernizing” is less pressing in the BRF where women and men are equally acknowledged and able to succeed the reigning monarch. I know it’s not as simple as that, but I honestly don’t think the British royals have it that bad. If they’re not careful, I feel they’ll modernize the UK out of a royal family altogether. There are certainly things that I would like to see the BRF change, but none of it has anything to do with cake flavors, guest-lists or proclamations of grandeur. Why “break traditions” in an attempt to modernize a monarchy in ways that really aren’t needed? (Why does it matter to the world if royals eat fruit cake or some other cake at weddings? How does the music they play/listen to better the world?…You get the picture). If they really want to “modernize the monarchy” the Sussexes had better start doing it in ways that count – and by that I mean in ways that will also benefit others and not just themselves.
My apologies for the uncomfortable length of this rant-y post. Takeaway points: I’m sick of the endless “breaking tradition/protocol/rules” and “modernizing” articles regarding the Sussexes and the BRF in general. The BRF doesn’t need modernizing and this PR push counts for squat until one of them actually does something that brings about positive change, both for the BRF and their subjects. Until then, they can lay off the PR. It’s just window dressing – horrible, tacky window dressing that does the opposite of “selling” the BRF.
Excellent post. They really aren’t breaking anything they just want everyone to believe they are trailblazers.
When you compare Meghan and Fergie, and how their timelines will play out, I think that may be a mistake.
Meghan has been on a timeline all her own for a while now, although the Duchess of Windsor would probably be a closer comparison.
Even then, tho…..
Meghan was so tacky at the beginning with the pics of bananas and British tea, people were convinced for a solid week after they dropped they were dating that couldn’t possibly happen in any reality involving actual royal people.
And then, only a week into the relationship, all her skeletons started to fall out, and Harry did that statement. Well, people accepted they were together, and that Harry was obviously serious. But I think the statement mostly made people uncomfortable. It had never happened before, called a whole slew of people racist. It was uncomfortable.
And then she pap walked in all British brands DAYS later. And then pap walked in an H and M necklace a month later.
Harry’s mistake of flying out to see her at the end of a tour, when he should have gone home. People are going to think, why not he wanted to see his girlfriend. When someone is walking around downtown London, on a sunny day, in wellies, and Barbour, you look tacky. She would have looked less tacky and touristy in socks and sandals and an usa t-shirt.
The months following are the same pattern. Most of Harry’s public mistakes, while they shouldn’t have happened, were him flying to see her when he shouldn’t have. Or inviting her on that African “working holliday” when he shouldn’t have. That just translates to a majority of the public like he really wanted to see her. I’d be mad if that was my tax money, but he just looks like a guy trying to see his then girlfriend as often as possible.
Meghan, on the other hand, kept posting “clues” on her IG, keeps pap walking, keeps forcing herself into situations where she clearly isn’t trying to fit in. Skippy’s wedding, Pippa’s wedding, and polo were all awkward as hell. And a nation that grew up with the boys, and is used to what the boys normally look like with their girlfriends, can see with their own eyes that something is off.
Couple that with her father’s family don’t have much nice to say, her mother’s family don’t have much nice to say, colleagues don’t have much nice to say, ex boyfriends and husband’ don’t have much nice to say, agents don’t have much nice to say, NO ONE has much nice to say, and all revealed at a steady stream over a year, and you have a problem.
This engagement and wedding should have been the turn around.
But she talked to Vanity Fair, and publicly did that walkabout during Invictus. I think they could have pulled off Invictus, IF Meghan hadnt done Vanity fair, revealed she’d been talking to the media for months, before obviously courting them at Invictus, and then standing around looking like a hooker in raccoon eyes with two of the cheapest people I have ever seen in Royal presence. Anderson and Mulroney. Meghan is incapable of class, or decorum, or anything resembling admiration. How do you admire raccoon eyes? And messy hair? Both Chelsy and Cressida managed to go to public outtings with Harry while looking like they hadn’t called the media first.
And then papped before that sorry excuse for an engagement announcement. A nation that sees royal engagement announcements on a regular basis knew that wasn’t how they happen. Eugenie getting it so right only a few months later highlight that. Not that I think Eugenie knows how to deal with he media, but she clearly asked for palace help with that.
And then ALL THE LEAKING. Meghan can put out as many surgery articles as she wants. The constant attention isn’t only unsustainable, it’s crazy. Brangelina didn’t survive the constant media attention, Twilight didn’t survive the constant media attention. If you oversaturate the market , the public turns you into a meme.
And Meghan’s meme is already set. Her father’s family weren’t at the wedding, her mother’s family weren’t at the wedding. The wedding was tacky, and the opposite of royal. And her father, at least according to press, was in a charity hospital in Mexico while Meghan was off playing pretty pretty princess.
That tacky fest is going to bite her in the booty later, because everyone wound up looking good except her. Her mother had to show up by herself, because Meghan didn’t even give her a plus one, and Prince Charles stepped up, and took care of the mother, and walked Meghan down the aisle. There were tons of articles praising Charles for being a gentleman everywhere.
The royal family were very welcoming, their children were part of the wedding. The showed up, and showed support.
And Harry. Dear God. The engagement interview looked like he was besotted, and all the coverage that involved her was calling out lies. Everyone remembers he said he loved her, and was looking forward to being a team. Everyone remembers she said she had no idea who he was, and hoped he was nice, with accompanying pics of her sitting outside Buckingham Palace. And several people that knew her stepping up to call her out on that.
And during the wedding, Harry cried. Apparently twice. He has become an internet meme for how a groom is supposed to look at his bride. And sat there, turned sideways in his chair, legs as close to her as possible, and clutched her hand for a solid hour. Apparently while crying. Twice.
She just held out her hand, and kept attention toward the cameras. Not showing affection back, while her father was, at least according to the mirror, in a charity hospital, and her poor all alone mother was being taken care of by the royal family.
Harry talks about how amazing she is, and how much he loves her. She talks about how she is a proud feminist, and is a social justice warrior. I don’t think she’ ever said publicly she loves him. Something the press haven’ forgotten with Charles.
Wallis Simpson was just divorced. She didn’t have social media to embaress herself in such a fashion. And she had the good sense not to call the media.
ALL of this is going to come into play later. When people admit, during the divorce, that they always knew this wasn’t going to work out, they are going to replay all this stuff from the beginning. And Meghan has done all this publicly. Pics of Harry clutching her, crying, are going to be the meme when they announce the divorce. How is she supposed to counter that? Say that sometimes, privately, he could be mean?
This is all the stuff that is gonna make her look bad. Not even including the possible first marriage, the sex tape, the naked pics, one of which happened after she met Harry, and the possible yachting, if true. Heather Mills didn’t have this wrong with her. Until the prostitution crap came out, people geniuely believed in the beginning she loved Paul.
And we haven’t gotten into when they call her in the papping and merching. Harry hasn’t been as obvious as her. And hasn’t had Jessica piblicly commenting on it. The public was furious when they thought her father did it to her, and what are they supposed to think when they find out she did it to the royal family?
She is going to be Wallis Simpson, Heather Mills, and Urdangarin all rolled into one. She has, rather impressively, done every royal scandal ever all in the span if two years.
And she is already unpopular from the beginning. No royal bride has had this many problems, not even Wallis Simpson. Whatever happened to Wallis during her wedding to Edward, no one knows. She didn’t call the media.
I highly doubt ALL of this comes out. But I bet a good bit of it does.
Harry has made plenty of mistakes during this relationship, but at the end, I think the public will consider his biggest mistake was falling for her in the first place.
These are all very good points. There’s also the fact hat the media moves A LOT faster now than it did in the eighties.
I hold on to the Fergie timeline because I like having a basis for my opinions, but you’re right, it may not take that long.
This why rolled my eyes so hard during Will & Kate’s US tour, but at least that one was official receptions and it felt like it was the celebs wanting to meet Will & Kate and not the other way around.
This is obviously the Slutsexes kowtowing to a bunch of celebs they barely know and letting them use the wedding for self-promotion and merching.
Megs most certainly was on social media before she met Harry. She had both a twitter account and an instagram account. She had a lifestyle website called “The Tig.” Please learn how to research before you come to someone who actually reads something other than fanfiction for a living.
And as for why she’s a famewhore? How about this?
That’s Meghan talking PUBLICLY about a PRIVATE relationship to the glossiest glossy magazine in the USA. IF she wasn’t a famewhore, then why would she be on the cover, since as you just said “nobody knew who she was till Harry.” Oh that’s right, she’s a famewhore of the first order since she’ll sell anyone out as long as she can get her press.
No fucking way am I interested in dating, fucking, or marrying Harry’s whiny, petty, petulant, insecure ass. You go on right ahead pretending that he’s Mr. Nice Prince that would never ever have the Kensington Palace press office release all sorts of terrible, secret shit on Meghan when the day comes. And that day will probably come sooner rather than later.
You’ve got a lot to learn about the British royal family and the UK press my dear.
I think that’s one of the big advantages she has here. The BRF is used to dealing with people who resent small snubs like getting a bad title, or an ugly tiara, or no coat of arms, or a bad seat. Meghan DOES NOT CARE. All she cares about is the fame part of it–the BS Weekly covers, the merch, the photographers.
The rest of it is just not important to her. That’s why she had a crap cake and takeout pizza for her wedding. She only cares about the royal trappings insofar as they will translate into press coverage.
“The wedding was very well done and beautiful but I am really confused by some of the celeb attendees there. “Suits” cast, Beckhams, those I get, but Serena Williams, Oprah & the Clooneys too? I very much doubt they are close friends or good friends at all with those. “Invite close friends only” my ass. Their weding, their guest list – but I wish the KP didn’t release such contradictory statement.“ – Submitted by Anonymous
I hope you can answer these questions. How can PH/MM go through fertility treatments/IVF if they are (allegedly) using drugs? –> They aren’t frequent users. I don’t have a specific knowledge about, but I presume it does, since a drug acts on your central nervous system, and this net (CND) regulates your entire body. She was yripping with and that dress last night. Because she was drunk as a cow 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also, why do you think MM will bolt? Imo, she will never have a better life that what she has now. As the wife of the 6th (5th) in line to the throne she wouldn’t get a huge divorce settlement (would she?). –> She is a fame whore, but I doubt she will please (did you realize that her career are only tips in tiny movies and/or movies that you never heard about? And deal with the bad press and scrutiny. She fucked io twice with HM (‘something borrowed’ gate and ‘curtsey’ gate) and that is something that the journos will make sure that she learns. 😘😘😘😘
Like I said. That visit to oprah and the last minute invite to the wedding wasn’t for nothing. Oh no but they still innocent, and her interview is a bigger paycheck now that the wedding has happened.
What this wedding shows is that the royal family is open for business, but not in a great way. It’s widely known that it’s difficult to get access to the BRF, whether you’re a British designer or a celeb hoping to mix with them at an event. I use to work in the celeb branding/events industry in London and there’s no way any kind of money would’ve got you into W & K’s wedding.
Large charity donations by a mega celeb + repositioning M & H’s brand as international, well connected humanitarians = win win for both parties. I love a good wedding, but this wedding reeks of tack and vulgarity. I thought that the fake floral arch was actually quite beautiful but couldn’t help thinking that it was there as a ‘step and repeat’ backdrop for celeb arrivals!
This is not modernising the monarchy. Mark my words, there’ll be plenty of pay-to-play scandals to come.
THIS.
A lot of people suspected that money could buy you access, but it had to be A LOT OF MONEY and it provided very little access and you had to be super discreet about it.
Now they are merching cupcakes and private clubs and cars and middle-market Canadian jewelry and it’s A LOT more obvious. They did a freaking Jaguar ad!!!! Plus the guest list and seating placement, of course.
And, yes, it was deliciously vulgar. The whole point of the BRF is that they are supposed to be above tacky product placements and celebrity back-scratching. Harry and Meghan, however, are definitely not above any of that crap.
wanted to put a picture but did not work. At w and k wedding, family and Friends got thé best Seats. How do you justify putting Oprah and clooneys etc before your mother’s brother and sister. Especially when you have no qualms using said mother for your pr. Diana would be mortified at thé end of thé day she was still an aristo what they did IS so rude.
Thanks for sending this in!
The Cambridge wedding was notable precisely because you had commoners sitting somewhat as equals with the royal family. That’s why it got so much praise as a family wedding.
The Sussex wedding is notable because the friends and family were all superseded by celeb guests. It was very Hollywood. That’s Meg’s environment. She ditched her normal family and friends for the C-list celeb circle of Suits in 2011 and now she’s ditching her C-list celeb circle for an A-list celeb circle.
Okay do the gist of the story is that Harry and Meghan love each other and are getting married, right? –> Yeah. I didnt feel that from her. But, yrah! when they broke up, there was an emotional blackmail. Sort of: “I was ready to give up my life because of you, to be with you” He was left alone to organize, only having kp staff. Maybe he would give up. Cards? 🤔 The seal was HM’s idea. (Me saying: Maybe doing something tacky would show how loved they are 👀👀👀) They had false content, but they were real. 🤣😉 I get your feeling.
For me at this point, I don’t really lose anything, and I’m too tired to care. I’m not Harry, who’s marrying a psycho that will destroy his life. I’m not a Markle stan who will be devastated when Fleet Street starts publishing all the dirt on Megs that she thought wouldn’t be published until she ditched Harry.
Does she really expect that Charles will want to do favors for her when he doesn’t like her? Honey, Megs, Charles and everyone else in that family sees right through you. There will come a day sooner rather than later when they will not put the backing of the Buckingham Palace and Clarence House press offices on Fleet Street to save your ass.
Yeah, people may nitpick with me about me being wrong, but I don’t care. Doing predictions publicly is always risky since you might be off or you might be right.
I’m more concerned with finishing some books from the library that are due on Sunday. I got a life that doesn’t revolve around Harry’s dipshit actions and Meg’s famewhoredom.
