I know Megs ghosted Piers. I’m not sure she has one with Wendy.
I seem to recall reading something a year ago that Meghan had her resume sent to Wendy Williams’ show about having her on as a guest or something before she became known for dating Harry. Wendy wasn’t interested. I don’t remember it exactly. I’m sure someone else can bring up the details.
I think Wendy just sees through all of Meg’s bullshit.
I KNOW! I can’t believe I didn’t figure it out myself. I saw someone posting it, and I’m now waiting for the “Meghan’s tender secret tribute to her unborn child” articles. These two love their secret messages, don’t they?
Personally, I think it’s rather childish and gross (because the spooning bananas post was oddly sexual) and unworthy of a royal engagement, but I bet these two were cackling when they came up with it. They are mentally 12 years old.
Chocolate is Meghan, who is black. Harry is the ginger. Bananas is shagging.
Put them all together and bake, and you get a “homemade bun fresh out of the oven,” i.e., A BABY.
It’s a Sussex Baby Sex cake. I bet they thought it was absolutely hilarious. No wonder they were laughing and joking all through that engagement.
I’m half appalled because this was, after all, a formal royal engagement where they were representing the queen, and half admiring because they got Rebecca English to EAT that thing. I bet they got a good laugh out of that.
The press always focuses on the crappy stuff–the clothes, the “looks of love,” the pda etc… The royals used to be really good at using that to attract attention to their work and the charities. That’s why we have had all of that diplomatic dressing and country-specific jewelry. It’s also why Kate’s charity work is tied to her art degree or her family or her love for sports, Will’s is tied to Africa and motorcycles, and Harry’s was tied to Africa, his mom, and the military. They know the biographical stuff brings media interest (particularly the Di stuff).
The problem with Harry and Meghan is that they don’t tie the biographical stuff to anything. She visited a fracking girls’ schools, similar to the one she attended as a child, which would have been a great way to tie in the biography stuff to an actual worthy cause. But what they did do? They embargoed it and focused on banana bread.
it has been this way since that Myna Mahila essay where she forgot to link to the charity.
And it was embargoed too. I wonder why. This has been the best engagement so far, imo, and it was overshadowed in favor of banana bread? This makes no sense.
It’s not just you. This has been a complete snooze fest. Her fans seem to be really excited about mundane stuff like binders, banana bread, and umbrellas, but to me this is like watching my cousin’s Instagram vacation pics, except my cousin dresses better, does more interesting stuff, and takes better pictures.
I wonder if part of the problem is that we don’t have very good pics. Tim Rooke and Chris Jackson are opting for Meghan’s preferred black-and-white pics and the monochrome palette makes this more boring than usual.
Rooke posted some of his old Harry pic and the different between then and now is striking–uniforms, landmarks, bright colors, and animated expressions before and monochrome pics, anonymous locations, neutral clothes, and stiff social smiles now.
EXACTLY. That’s why I say every single event is biographical. Hamilton was about her Hollywood connections and her favorite play. Sussex about her American heritage and seeing a copy of the Declaration of Independence. The museum opening was about her upcoming tour. Grenfell was about her love of food and the important role it played in her life. Invictus is about their love story and her first public appearance. Her arrival in Australia turned into a pregnancy announcement. Dubbo was about her banana bread.
It’s truly amazing how she can make it all about her.
Nah she’s truly pregnant. In my baby reading I’m doing on them, Fool Reversed came up, meaning making lots of foolish decisions not on purpose. I think that’s what’s happening here.
Yeah. I think she’s truly pregnant. But that doesn’t make watching this train wreck fun.
Particularly now that we know she drank publicly a glass of champagne on a plane while pregnant. How many other times has she drunk champagne since she’s been pregnant? I’m not a beer person, but beer probably would be better to drink since the alcohol content is lower. Beer is usually about 5% alcohol, but champagne is 12% alcohol. Sheesh!
It’s just a supremely boring tour. The clothes are bland neutral crap that doesn’t fit. The settings are meh. The stunts are all stuff they’ve done before with another message piece of clothing like the Husband shirt at Invictus, another girl who looks like Meghan like the actress wannabe at Stemettes, and another baby related medical event just like the one they did in Ireland. Daphne Dunne stands in for Nottingham’s Haribo lady and so on.
I’m legit dying of second hand embarrassment now. “Shop our Royal collection and be the ROYAL that YOU are.” Jess issuing to put out a “royal” collection too, isn’t she? Probably “Duchess” short shorts and official princess lip fillers.
One of the things I hate the most about these two is that ALL of their events are 100% biographical. They are supposed to be highlighting the countries and charities they visit, but, instead, it’s all MEMEMEMEME. The focus is on how Harry’s fans worship him, or how Meghan inspires biracial girls, or her cooking skills, or her relationship with her mother, or her American background, or whatever. It’s ALL bout THEM.
I’m no Mary fan, but she dresses a lot better than Meghan and carries herself professionally. She rubs me the wrong away (I find her arrogant and cold), but I have to admit that she looks and acts like a princess and future queen. I cannot even picture Mary wearing a friend’s “royal collection” oversize jacket (”be the ROYAL you can BE”), or showing up somewhere with ginger-chocolate-chip-and-banana bread.
Meghan is a frustrated lifestyle blogger who found a lonely prince and decided that this was her ticket to a life full of published cookbooks, merching, and domestic goddess profiles. She’s trying to use the brf’s platform to create a royal version Goop or something like that. It’s bizarre.
The Ireland drinking may have been before she found out, but the Canada trip was in August (and Jess told BS Weekly that Meghan told her then) and the Soho House party was in September.
That’s FOUR sightings in a couple of months, which is pretty credible to me. I don’t understand why people are so surprised that someone who is shrugging off Zika virus risk and over scheduling herself during a high-risk pregnancy is also pretty laissez faire about drinking.
And she had the coat made weeks in advance! That’s the funniest part of it for me. She was picking clothes out in August and decided she would wear a fug couture tent to Eugenie’s wedding to stoke the rumors. She’s amazing.
I’m not sure what to think. Harry spent practically all of August in Africa, which is pretty weird for a guy who has always wanted a family to do, when he’s said he’s always wanted to have kids.
And then they never showed up a Balmoral, which given that these two were going to be on tour, they could have showed up there and told the Queen then that there might be the possibility of a pregnancy. But no. They had to save it for Eugenie’s wedding.
Plus, there was Meg’s solo glass of champagne on her flight to Canada, which wouldn’t have been as bad if it was accompanied by food…
I’ve heard of those, but I don’t think Megs cares all that much for the legalities. She can get it done outside the UK and Harry’s pretty far down the line of succession.
That being said, I’m in the minority about the surrogacy. The Talking Tarot blog, for example, is pretty sure it’s not surrogacy.
I’ll say it again. Surrogacy contracts are NOT legally enforceable in the UK.
And the kid needs to be born in the UK as part of the royal family.
Defiantly? I see no evidence of that. We have no idea how they interacted at the reception, where there were no press cameras.
Wearing Diana’s jewelry may be loaned. I seem to recall the huge, aquamarine ring Megs wore in her reception photos was referred to as a loan for the occasion.
Regardless, her wearing her deceased mother-in-law’s jewelry is kind of gross.
Obviously not. I am, however, kind of awed by her ambition, daring, and immense self-centeredness. She met this guy, saw her chance, quit her job immediately, was engaged in like a year, spent millions of dollars of his dad’s money, was married a few months later, and is now pregnant and raiding his mom’s jewelry box. It’s truly amazing.
