I remember noticing the disparity between their attitudes back in Fiji with these photos:
Harry has got his serious face on along with everyone else except his wife, who has her smug face on.
Perhaps the UK tabs will use Harry’s downcast, NZ photos for some of their tour articles whenever they start discussing her (and their?) behavior behind the scenes on the tour.
I 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…
I forgot to add a that the ONLY substance that has managed to seep through the belly-cupping, hand-holding, and family drama have been (i) the grants and scholarships from the Queen’s patronages, (ii) the Queen’s relationship with Fiji and Tonga, and (iii) the Queen’s message to the royal family of Tonga. I think that is because of Samantha Cohen.
Harry looks like he’s concentrating super hard while Megs looks like she’s gloating up a storm.
This is just a post basically of all the questions that have been asked to me this week that I haven’t been able to answer and I just put it all in one post. Sorry for the delay, a lot has been going on personally this week which is why I’ve been more inactive than usually. -TT
“Why is MM cradling her bump so consistently?”
She wants to project the image of the “happy family” (Ten of Cups) even though there’s a lot of stress and conflict right now (Six of Swords Rx). I think she does this obviously for more attention (Star) but not in the normal attention-seeking way. Like she does it because I think she feels like very restricted (Four of Cups/Swords, Four of Pentacles) because of this pregnancy and her doing this is her way of rebelling or gaining that sense of control and power she feels like she’s losing (Three of Swords, Hierophant, Four of Pentacles, QOW) because of the tour (Hierophant,Six of Swords Rx). KP may be being much more strict on her and Harry, specifically her since she is pregnant, now (Heirophant/Four of Pentacles).
I think she’s very very isolated on this tour (Four of Cups) and very very bitter or sort of mean (Seven of Wands Rx/Three of Pentacles/Hanged Man Rx). She’s sort of petty and catty-like right now (Three of Cups Rx) and she needs to be careful because there, again like I saw before, might be someone in her camp who is going to spill the beans on this behavior if she isn’t careful (Three of Cups Rx). She’s got a spy in her camp. She’s very much in isolation and isn’t really talking to her friends-or they aren’t talking to her that much (Four of Swords/Three of Cups Rx). She feels a lack of freedom and feels very restricted (Four of Wands Rx) and this is her way of restoring control by highlighting the bump, which is weird (Devil Rx) and switching the narrative which hasn’t been the easiest since this is a tour and they have schedules to fulfill and points to hit before moving forward.
Her mood has been fluctuating a lot (Two of Pentacles), causing lots of rifts with Harry (Ten of Cups/Six of Swords Rx/Five of Swords/Hermit/Knight of Pentacles Rx). She’s sort of icy with Harry, I think more so the influence of the hormones (Two of Pentacles), but she’s sort of icy with Harry (Four of Swords/Four of Wands Rx) and their relationship is very routine-like right now (Knight of Pentacles Rx). She’s also very very forceful and sort of aggressive because of the hormones (Ace of Swords Rx/Chariot).
This is a major change for her (Death) and Harry (Two of Cups) and they don’t really know how to cope with it (Two of Pentacles) and Meghan feels undervalued right now (Six of Pentacles Rx) which is why she’s sort of doing this to gain that control and feel like the focus is on her when it is mostly on the tour and hitting all those points because when they didn’t have any restrictions or help, like this previous week, it turned into a mess. Notice how this week the charities are getting much more attention (even if it’s the smallest) than last week when it seems they had no control and were free-styling it.
“Why did MM leave her engagement in Fiji after six minutes?”
I think she wanted to go (House/Star/Key). I also think she had some sudden pain somewhere or some health issues of some sort as well (Cross/Scythe/Key). She felt like it was starting to unproductive/unhealthy for her to be there and wanted to go back home (House/Star/Scythe/Key). She also saw this as a way to benefit her publicly rather than get the backlash she did and thought (Garden/Clover), like, “oh, I’m sure they’ll understand” sort of situation. Again, the hormones are making her crazy y’all! She was getting impatient (Mice/Dog). Her motivation for attending was dwindling by the minute (Mice/Snake). I also think she was having some secret health issues as well and that’s why she left so abruptly, other than the fact her patience was thin and she wanted to be at home (Woman/Mice). I don’t think she was that prepared either, as per usual, (Book/Mice) and again, was unhealthy or had some sort of health issue that came up out of nowhere. I think there is this underlying conflict, which probably relates back to my first spread above, of her having conflict between wanting to follow her own agenda and following what she is being told to do by KP.
“How to KM feel about the banquet she attended yesterday?”
I think she very much enjoyed it. I think this was one of the times Kate really felt like she was in power (Bear/Tower) or sort of really played the role of “future queen” in a sense, like in her spirit. She was prepared and ready for this change (Ship) and this banquet was her really exploring her power and really feeling very confident about herself and her role. I’m guessing this is referencing the new glass order she got and her climbing up the ladder of power and presence in her position regarding that. Probably feeling very much empowered by wearing that, as a badge of honor in a sense. Though she was ready, she still was kind of nervous about taking the lead (Bear/Birds) but still very excited (Birds).Catherine didn’t have the tour on her mind and was putting all the gossip H&M were giving, across the pond (Ship), behind her and was focused on this banquet (Birds/Tower). #AnUnbotheredQueen
She carried herself with class and grace and dignity as usual (Tower/Tree) and though very nervous, tried to appear calm and reserved and kept together (Tree).
“How does MM feel about it?”
I think the news (Rider) made her feel held-back. I already talked before about how MM dislikes the power and influence that comes with Catherine’s position and this banquet was one of those things that sort of irked her (Mountain). Not in a very outward way though (Book), almost disliked it in silence. She’s putting on the facade she’s happy (Star) with it and some of that is true in a sense (Rider/House) but she still feels like once again, Kate is the big-bad wolf just coming to knock the shine off of her (Stork/Mountain). She feels like she’s blocking her bag as they say (even though their rich) and feels like Kate’s stopping her from going on and growing and going up as a royal. I feel like maybe this was not told to her or kept from her, probably to focus on the tour but also because of her hormones and her mood fluctuations, they didn’t want to take that chance of an explosion (Key/Book).
I’ll do a second, more in depth part later. See you soon. -TT
Meghan likes the security excuses. Her 2017 trip to India was delayed “for security reasons,” and I think another visit also had a security issues, but I don’t remember which one it was.
In other words, Meghan made up an excuse so she could leave
Harry’s speech reads a little awkward, but the content is much better. He focuses on the issues and the scholarships that are being granted and even mentions one of the prior beneficiaries.
Fiji is not getting it’s money’s worth from this tour. First Zika and now security threats.
Ironically, the whole point of that visit was to show off a program that created safe markets for women. I love how Meghan consistently undermines her own charity visits.
Well Emily dear, you’ve built up this monster to what she’s become with your sycophancy – and now you’re getting pissy because you keep being Markled by her??
This might be a good opportunity for you to start reporting some real news (and facts for that matter) about this damned spot.
In the DM article linked above, there’s a short video snippet where Meghan can be seen saying something to her assistant/private secretary shortly before they decided to leave. I think MM just had enough [unjustifably] and wanted to end the engagement.
I’m more annoyed by the fact that the whole point of the speech was to announce that one of the Queen’s patronages was making new grants for female staff members. Somehow, Meghan managed to make it all about herself.
Me too! I feel I shouldn’t even be surprised, and yet I am. She cupped in an official photograph…
That says everything that needs to be said about the DoSex, frankly. Even when they are representing the Queen at the most formal events it’s all about them and their personal soap opera.
