I know part of this got out, but allow me to add the rest!
Here’s the low down on what really happened between Michelle Obama and MeAgain… Princess Pushy, indeed.
*Also,I did see someone mention here that this wasnt a planned meeting and that MM did barge her way into a conversation. Apologies as I can’t find that original post!
“I worked for Barack Obama for 7 years.
I have friends who are with the Obama foundation, and have more access to the former POTUS and FLOTUS than I do now, and I asked them about the now infamous meeting.
Per everybody that I’ve spoken with, Mrs Obama was ambushed by MM, and her secret service detail was none to pleased about it. They said she made a few minutes of polite chit chat so as not to be rude, and then quickly excused herself to leave.
The general consensus was she wasn’t pleased with the ‘stunt’, and felt like the reason she was there was overshadowed by MM making the night all about her.
I’ve spoken to her only a handful of times (MO that is) and almost always in a group setting. Despite how far she’s gotten in life, she still sees herself as the girl who grew up with pretty much nothing. She has very little to any patience for people who flaunt wealth or power.
My friends said she was annoyed with the ambush and pissed off about the snafu it caused with her secret service detail. They have to coordinate with the security of dignitaries that she meets with, and none of this was coordinated, so it created a logistical mess.
What I’ve heard from everyone was MO was trying to be polite, but she was tired. She was on a time crunch because they knew GB’s death was imminent and she would need to get back, and this had created a logistical nightmare for her secret service detail since none of it had been coordinated with MM’s detail because it wasn’t planned.”
I do not believe for a second that Charles is trying or going to save her ass.
But given that Megs has already floated the idea that she has a Magic Burn Book of Doom on the royal family, she wants people to think he is because the Magic Burn Book of Doom threat didn’t work.
Although she did start the “humanitarian” phase when she was an actress, so it’s not completely new at this point.
I am somewhat surprised that the articles are continuing. At this point, I’m guessing that we’ll get low-ball, turmoil-in-the-palace articles from now until the end of the year. Probably nothing earth shattering before the end of the year. UK tabs will probably let something major rip the first full weekend of the new year. January 6th looks like a good bet for now.
Ahahahaha…. Meghan trying to spin things to put the Cambridges down! Love this for how her shade exposes things!
Prince William and Kate skip a board meeting attended by Prince Harry and Meghan at the Royal Foundation fuelling rumours of a deepening rift between the royal couples
William and Kate missed a board meeting as well as a staff Christmas party later
It was for the Royal Foundation which they head with Prince Harry and Meghan
No-show comes amid rumours that the two couples are locked in a royal feud
Harry and Meghan are set to move to Frogmore Cottage – away from the palace

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge failed to attend a board meeting of the Royal Foundation this week amid rumours of a royal rift with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
William and Kate lead the foundation together with Harry and Meghan but while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex both attended the meeting, as well as a staff Christmas party afterwards, the other two members of the so-called Fab Four didn’t show up.
Kensington Palace insists that the Cambridges were not expected, but a source admitted that it ‘was a shame’ they didn’t attend the meeting or the subsequent party.
Rumours of a rift between the Cambridges and the Sussexes have spread like wildfire following the announcement that Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, are set to move away from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage.
And the latest chapter of the rumoured rivalry saw Harry and Meghan attend the board meeting alone.
A source revealed: ‘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.’
Kensington Palace insists that the Cambridges had not been expected. ‘Their Royal Highnesses attend these meetings in turn,’ a spokesman says.
‘This session was focused on programmes led by the Duke of Sussex.’
Sooo… Cambridges weren’t supposed to be there, but Meg’s PR attempts are trying to throw them under the bus to her advantage!
Although the rift has mostly focused on the relationship between Meghan and Kate, recent reports suggest that the issue is actually between William and Harry.
According to the Sun, a royal source claims that Harry is accusing William of trying to ‘wreck his relationship with Meghan’.
William is believed to have ‘voiced concerns’ about Meghan to his brother.
And Harry’s over-protectiveness of his wife has apparently driven a wedge between the two brothers.
One courtier told the Sun: ‘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.’
When all else fails, bring up Mummy Diana’s name to solve the PR problem!
The friction between the two apparently started when William tried to give Harry some brotherly advice about the Canadian actress, back when their romance was still fairly new.
However, the chat went down badly with one friend saying that Harry ‘went mental’.
The friend added that the relationship between the two brothers has never really recovered since.
Sooo…. it’s all William’s fault because he was butting in where he shouldn’t have….
The source also revealed that Meghan felt rebuffed when she tried to befriend Kate and that the brothers are competing against each other over palace appointments.
Meghan apparently tried to approach Kate to learn the ropes but the Duchess of Cambridge was pre-occupied with her children Prince Louis, George, five, and Charlotte, three.
ANNNDDD…. It’s not Meghan’s fault that she’s not friends with Kate! Regina George Meghan is the one making an effort, not Kate.
The Duchess of Sussex is also said to be surprising the royal household with just how keen her mind is.
Harry and Meghan are set to move out of Kensington Palace – and away from William and Kate – to make a new home at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
Officially, the couple are moving to have their own space for their new child who is due in the spring.
However, rumours have spread since the announcement that a secret family feud is the real reason for the move.
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.
I would bet that they’re going to put her on further lockdown again to ensure it doesn’t happen again. That’s my thought for now.
Or another article will be released in the UK tabs shortly to reinforce the notion that Meg’s “unannounced” pr stunts aren’t appreciated within the royal family.
Either way, Megs is angling for a fight she can’t win.
“Because the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the stakes, the house takes you.“ Danny Ocean, Ocean’s Eleven
Oh, I definitely think her control-freak tendencies are part of the problem. But after yesterday, you’ve got to wonder what the RF did after those pictures to ensure a repeat doesn’t happen again. Like, did the staff get a reprimand for driving to and arranging that “unannounced” event? Megs didn’t take the underground or a bus to get there, so someone else was responsible for making it happen.
Are we going to get another ten-thousand-yard, dead-eyed, fembot stare next week? Or one that looks even worse?
All of the palace staff Christmas parties will be coming up soon. She doesn’t have that many chances for more “unannounced” visits to possible charities before it’s time to head to Sandringham.
I have to wonder if the Queen, Charles, and William were happy about her unannounced visit. With everything going on and given that recent tit-for-tat escalation that went on this past weekend in the UK papers, I wonder how well her “unannounced” visit was received by other royals in charge.
It looks to me like she is trying to reassert her image–and merching–with that visit. Am wondering if she went to this discussion against the wishes of senior advisers because the focus should have been more on Will & Kate’s visits to the military & their families. Kind of wondering if we’re now going to see another release of stuff this weekend on Megs.
Makes sense. I asked my cards if she was truly pregnant and got a resounding yes, so it’s not a surrogate or fake bump for why the bump keeps looking like that. Also got a money opportunity card at the root, so you may be very right with this one.
Harry did speak at the memorial. He essentially read a speech clearly written by her. He spoke of her commitment to menstrual health. At a memorial for a friend the proceeds of which support a school in Africa. Now here is the real story of MM’s “menstrual health” activism. She gave an interview in VF in September of 2016. She claimed to be working with a group in India on building a school for girls and said she would be going to India in January. The story was a complete fabrication no such project existed. Celebs can spout off whatever and no one takes them seriously but a royal GF is something different so now she was held to account for this “visit”. So first through her pr she claimed it was too dangerous to visit India. But that was also BS so her firm K and C quick arranged attendance at a conference and a quickie visit to an factory that makes reusable menstrual pads. MM got all dressed up in an elaborate sari and got her photo op.
Now about this charity. It was founded by a young woman who subsequently received a Queen’s Young Leadership Award this past year. Yes at a ceremony Meghan attended. And never mentioned this woman whose work she has been taking credit for. The idea was to found enterprises for rural Indian woman. And a market need was menstrual pads because in rural areas there are no stores to buy pads at. Hence the factory.
So Meghan writes a essay that appears in Newsweek Online. She misses the purpose of the charity claims it is about stigma not enterprise. And she never mentions the name of the charity so people can send donations. And her solution to the issue of women not having menstrual pads? The readers of Newsweek – primarily white affluent suburbanites – should discuss menstruation at dinner. Seriously you can finds this joke online.
So there is Meghan Markle’s idea of being charitable. Dress up, photo op, pr stunt and then never do anything about the issue again but brag forever about it. She did the same in Rwanda. Photo op in a lifestyle magazine called Rwanda Glam and never got involved with the issue again.
For the love of Christ people, Meghan’s dish soap letter was a SCHOOL
ASSIGNMENT! She had to do it. It was homework, not the birth of
feminism. Just another fraud to add to the princess application she
scammed harry and the rest of the world with
Royal sources say the duchess has been having meetings with a number of organisations and is still finalising which areas to work in and what charities to support as she moves on with her public work.
It is understood that she is particularly keen to support issues where she can work alongside her husband.
Aides hope to make an announcement about her first patronages in the new year, eight months after she joined the Royal Family.
Although it is considered quite a long time to wait before announcing her patronages, it is understood that Meghan wishes to ‘really get to know’ the organisations she wants to work with in order to make a ‘real and lasting’ difference.
And hello to you! It feels like it’s been a minute since I’ve done a BRF reading, but here’s what I got for them lately Xx
What’s MM’s relationship with her PR team?
Contrary to suspicion, this team is working hard to fight in her corner and keep up appearances (Two of Cups). Whether this extends to personal opinion is another matter, but they’re quietly plodding along and focused on keeping an objective viewpoint (The Hermit, Queen of Swords Rx).
There have been some upsets in this relationship that have caused a fair amount of stress and anxiety (Temperance Rx, Three of Swords Rx), which have created cause for concern. This is already a red flag for future issues that will continue to arise (Ten of Pentacles Rx).
On MM’s side, she’s feeling depressed and unable to control the impulse to keep a strong arm in what’s getting put out (Strength Rx, The Devil). It’s become an obsession that she can’t let go of (Knight of Swords), and while she’s happy with the support she’s being given (Three of Cups), she still can’t shake the feeling of doubt and mistrust (Nine of Wands). Those cards are being kept relatively close to her chest while keeping an ear to the ground for potential moles (Queen of Pentacles).
On the PR side, they’re pushing forward for the good of the firm (The Chariot, Two of Wands). They’re pleased with how they’ve managed to keep things looking good from the inside (Four of Wands), but there’s a niggling doubt that this task is not worth the trouble (Nine of Cups Rx, Six of Swords). It might have something to do with the manipulation and mood swings they’re currently having to deal with in order to get the job done (King of Cups Rx).
Well, let’s not forget that Doria has to give up hanging out with her friends and family back in SoCal to fly all the way to England for Meg’s PR games.
There is probably room, given that it’s a large estate, but the bigger issue would probably be that you have to dress up all the time because you’re in the home of the Queen. That’s how the Queen likes it. It’s a strict schedule. Doria wouldn’t really know anyone there very well.
I’m not convinced the source in that recent article is originating out of Buckingham Palace. I suspect it’s someone throwing a fit in Nott Cott–cough, Meghan–at this point. We’re seeing a clear tit-for-tat relationship with the recent Mail on Sunday article. Someone is afraid of looking bad, and I don’t think it’s the Cambridges.
Yeah, as it stands right now, there is no real reason to have Doria there. I mean, how would they confirm that she was there? Have her do the Christmas walk with Meghan instead of her husband? It would seem to be a publicity ploy straight up Meghan’s alley.
And what would a visit by Doria accomplish? I don’t get the impression that Meghan cares much for advice from other people–including her mother–so why have Doria fly a few thousand miles to chat in person instead of having Megs phone her mom? Makes no sense…
The problem I have with Papa Markle “working with Meghan” is that everything ends up worse. And then Samantha chimes in addition to what her father said.
Also, I’d note that the Express storydoes not quote Papa Markle directly. The entire article is through other “sources.”
Same thing with The Sun article. It’s a “friend” of Thomas Markle. They didn’t talk to him directly. And they have the same exact quotes as Express.
So, in this instance, it’s not that Papa Markle and Meghan are working together, it’s that her pr used Meghan as a “friend” of Thomas to voice her complaints. Thomas never spoke to those outlets. If he did, then they would have quoted him directly.
Hello Everyone!! Yes, it’s a very good day to be anti-Meg…#Megxit campaign has entered Phase Two. (This is long, so I apologize in advance)
If you’ve noticed the anti-Meg articles are appearing everywhere…no longer can even the most sugary media outlets ignore that sentiments toward the Duchess of Suck-excess have shifted dramatically.
Remember when I told you that the palace PR campaign would be a “drip, drip” one? Here’s the “Irish Independent” reporting on Nov. 27, “By and large, until now, the anti-Meghan sentiment has been drip fed into to our newsfeeds that it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the tide turned.”
YES. The tide has indeed turned as planned by the royals most trusted advisers. This is not heartless, there is more at stake than most people know. I don’t have to tell you the reasons why it’s imperative the public image of the RF stays without blemish as much as possible.
Oh, but you may say isn’t this a scandal, isn’t having anti-Meg press a blemish? IF Meghan is allowed to ruin the RF that would not only be a scandal but a real catastrophe.
The Royal Family has endured scandals and divorces–we all know that. And this PR war wasn’t started by the royals, it was started when Meghan manipulated Harry into a marriage under false pretenses.
Now, let’s get to the juicy parts. Holding back on the Kate/Charlotte bridesmaid dress fiasco story was a palace PR decision–and a wise one. You see if this would have leaked at the time it happened, any good press from the wedding itself would have been overshadowed by this infighting.
Good PR is knowing when to release bombshells–they have to be timed for maximum exposure. The wedding was so HUGE in the news the Kate/Charlotte incident would have been wasted at that time–that’s why they waited until Phase Two to start leaking this info.
In the coming weeks expect more atrocious anti-Meg stories from the wedding. Pro-Meg PR will be from connections Oprah has in certain American press outlets and beyond. This is because Oprah is dying to play the race card against anyone who dares lash out at MM. Of course, MM also has her PR people going 24/7 but they have been eclipsed by the anti-Meg leaks. That’s why she is turning to Oprah.
And Meghan is aware something has gone very wrong. She knows she is being outmaneuvered by palace PR. In fact, it was at Eugenie’s wedding that Meghan knew something was about to explode.
MM tried to chat up Kate before and after the ceremony and Kate made it clear, my source says, “That Meghan was not going to be forgiven.” Then, when Harry wanted to go the reception, MM thru a fit. She didn’t go as we all know.
Palace gossip is later, when Harry stumbled home, MM was heard loudly saying, “She hates me and so why do you talk to her?! I haven’t done anything wrong! I’m the one who has given up everything.” Harry tries to calm her down…and she yells, “I don’t care who hears me– f*ck them all!”
Meghan’s also upset over the Frogmore banishment. When that news got back to BP the Queen had little sympathy, said my source. They said PP asked, “What’s she going on about now?” HM responded, “She is going on about not wanting to move. But it’s for the best. It’s time she learns who is really in charge. She isn’t the star, here.”
Palace gossip is additional aides and staffers are threatening to quit. My source spoke to one who said, “She’s a nightmare. She screams and yells at all hours. PH tries to apologize but he can’t control her. People here are starting to not feel sorry for him anymore. Yes, he looks so depressed, but we won’t put up with her abuse much longer.”
They describe MM as being paranoid, now. She yelled at one staffer, “Did you leak to the press?! I’ll find out who did and when I do they won’t know what hit them!”
Well, I think MM won’t know what hit her. Phase Two of the PR campaign will last for a time and then there is the final phase. Phase Three is more intense.
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.
I wouldn’t be so sure about the “happy family at Sandringham” part. I did a reading on Doria and yes, I think she will VISIT but not for the reasons being pushed out right now.
Probably PR but I’d have to check again. Doria wants nothing to do with Meghan’s games, permanently, meaning she might come and visit but I doubt she’ll move there unless things get really bad and it’s necessary.
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.
