Oh, I knew the Al Manaar mosque’s connections would be brought up. But I hope these people realise Charles opened the centre years ago (he’s very big on multi cultural diversity) and they (RF) have been connected to the centre for a very long time, so I don’t know why they’re pinning this on Meghan. Re. the David Vance tweet.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yeah, I have a ton of anons about it, but I don’t really have time to research it. 

I just had a thought , instead of 7 years itch, could it be 7 months itch in case of h&m? Hoping fingers crossed for that , but personally I don’t think shell leave without a kid, as long/short it might take. But what’s your take on “7”? Coz apart from this manyyyyy tarot readers have also been seeing ” 10″ again and again.

From this article, I think it’s important to remember that the author does both Western and Vedic astrology at this point in time, but when he made his prediction regarding Charles & Diana on the radio, he only did Western astrology at the time. He doesn’t talk about Charles’ chart in detail at all, so if you’re not familiar with it, then you might think that this 7-year-itch thing is the only possible technique to predict marriage dissolution. So let’s take a look at Charles’ chart then.

image

Charles has a Cancer ascendant, his ascendant lord (Moon) is in the 10th house. His 7th house (marriage/partnership) is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is placed in his 2nd house (Leo) in Magha nakshatra. Charles’ Venus is debilitated in Virgo, but it does receive some help with Mercury (Virgo’s ruler) since they are in a Parivartana yoga (mutual exchange). 

Charles didn’t have the best chart for marriage before you get to planetary transits. His 7th house lord (Saturn) is placed in another maraka house (2nd house). 2nd house is also a financial house. Leo is ruled by the Sun. Sun and Saturn are in different planetary camps (in Vedic system). Sun belongs to the devas, and Saturn belongs to the asuras. All in all, it’s not a very favorable indication for marriage, and basically points to divorce, which we all know at this point happened. 

When the author talks about Harry & Meghan’s dashas at the end of his article, I don’t think they’ll be married at that point, so it probably doesn’t matter. I think it’s more significant to consider Harry’s Jupiter-Saturn dasha, which goes from May 2027 to November 2029, and it’s relationship to William. The 11th house is the sign of the older brother; the 3rd house is the house of siblings in general. Saturn rules Harry’s 3rd house (Aquarius) where it is placed in his 11th house (Libra). Saturn is exalted in Libra, and it’s maximum exaltation is at 20 degrees. Harry’s Saturn is at 19 degrees and 12 minutes Libra, so it is at its maximum exaltation. I’m more willing to bet that William at this time is already Prince of Wales when Harry starts his Jupiter-Saturn dasha.

Then I think it’s necessary to take a look at both Charles & Williams charts & dasha sequences. In January of 2029, Saturn will be in Aries transiting Ashwini nakshatra, which is where Charles’ ascendant lord (Moon) is placed. Charles begins his Saturn-Saturn dasha on January 16, 2029, while Saturn is transiting his Moon, and I don’t think it’s a good sign. Because Charles’ Saturn is a maraka (death-inflicting planet) by its ownership of the 7th house, and it is placed in another maraka house (2nd), it probably has serious death-inflicting capabilities. Couple that with William beginning his Mercury-Mercury dasha on February 19, 2029. Mercury rules William’s 10th house (career). I think it’s likely that William will have a sudden change in his career in 2029. 

To bring this back to Harry, Harry lost his mother (Diana) during his first Sade Sati (late 90s/early 2000s). Sade Sati is when Saturn transits the house 12th, 1st, and 2nd from the natal moon. I think it’s just likely that Harry will lose his father during his second Sade Sati, ten plus years from now. 

I think the the tarot card “10″ probably refers to October. I think it’s possible/likely that the marriage between Harry & Megs is over in October–at least behind the scenes–but that getting to actually commit that end to paper will take a few more months. Perhaps the total number of months they’re married before the paperwork is finalized and accepted is 10 months. 

imho you vastly overestimate what the royals do, especially W,K. etc. 99% of their job is simply showing up, properly dressed, behaving themselves and it helps if they’ve read their briefing notes. The staff bureaucracy–which is huge–does 99.99% of the work. One of the organization’s I’m very familiar with is the Prince’s Trust. It’s a good organization, in spite of and not because of Charles. Brf is surviving by following orders of the smarter power structure which props it up.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Oh, this is a very good point. Tons of stuff happens behind the scenes.

But the royals do have an effect. For example, I bet the new charity restructuring Charles is doing will be a complete disaster with Michael Fawcett as its head and less donations and appearances by the Prince.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-5483791/Charles-trusted-former-royal-aide-appointed-Foundation-chief-executive.html

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jan/01/prince-of-wales-charitable-foundation-halves-donations-in-past-year

True, but I suspect they’re restructuring since he’s not going to be Prince of Wales for two more decades.

Did Charles move to Clarence after the split with Diana? Because they lived together at Kensington right? And Diana lived at Kensington after the divorce? I’m just wondering if Charles would’ve stayed at Kensington until HM passed, if he and Diana had not divorced (thinking about Will staying out at Kensington until he’s on the throne)

duchessofostergotlands:

I did some research and Charles didn’t actually move to Clarence House until 2003. He moved after his grandmother- the Queen Mother- passed away and they finished refurbishments. Before that he lived at St James’s Palace. I can’t find a confirmation that he moved there after the divorce so if anyone knows, reply to this post!! I think his intention was always to move to Clarence House but I don’t know that for certain 

Isn’t Clarence House traditionally used for the heir to the throne? Then-Princess Elizabeth lived there with Philip, Charles, and Anne, before she became Queen. The Queen Mum lived there after George VI passed away. Charles moved to St. James Palace when he and Diana separated and lived there until he moved into Clarence House.

Tarot reader update. The Markle mess has been delt with we won’t be hearing from them anymore. Harry having money issues Meghan’s spending has to stop. She’s not happy. Will and Harry have had a falling out Will didn’t agree to this marriage & told Harry he was rushing it that he would regret it. Kate is also not happy about how this has all turned out. Charles & Camilla are ignoring the situation bc Charles is worried about becoming king. Meghan is hiding a bad secret.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Thanks! This sounds like it could be accurate based on that recent leak from Thomas” curiously well-educated “adviser,” and that weird Tom Sykes article attacking Charles. Who is the reader? Is it on YouTube?

Naomi Tarot did a recent one. Much of what is said above seems to be in it.

How do the Cambridges compare?

duchessofostergotlands:

duchessofostergotlands:

So I hate to do the whole “Kate vs Diana” thing but a lot of people in this fandom hold Diana up as a perfect royal so I thought it would be interesting to compare the number of engagements they were doing in the year they gave birth to their second child. 

The total number of engagements is obviously lower due to the fact they were pregnant, giving birth, and on maternity leave. 

In 2015, the year of Princess Charlotte’s birth, the Duchess of Cambridge carried out 62 engagements

In 1984, the year of Prince Harry’s birth, Princess Diana carried out 52 engagements (x) 

In 2015, Prince William carried out 122 engagements. In 1984 Princes Charles carried out 93 engagements (x). 

It’s up to you to decide what that means for you but it’s interesting to be able to compare the numbers. Thoughts?

Thought I’d bring this back given recent conversation

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I worked with people who were in those circles in the Diana days.  Stories get told.   I do not think Diana wanted to take the BRF down.  She wanted to take Charles down.  And she essentially succeeded.  Diana was a very politically astute woman.  She “became” whatever the group she was with wanted her to be.  If you were a republican crowd Diana would drop hints as to being republican and of course then that group adored her.  Which is what she wanted. To be adored.  More than Charles.  So people projected their own desires on to her.  Something she did deliberately. Hence you get these stories about her wanting revenge and taking the BRF down.  

Peter Hitchens has a remarkable take on Diana.  “ If what I saw on that cold morning had been what the public were used to, her reputation and effect on the world might have been completely different. She looked a good deal more like the formidable natural politician she was, and a good deal less like the breathtakingly pretty but rather lost and lonely young woman most people thought she was. But the camera loved her so much that the world saw the naïve and lovely victim, not the brilliant wielder of public relations skills and tactical genius.”

Harry is not his mother he is not tactical genius but like Diana we project on to him our motives and desires.  Harry does not desire the abolition of the monarchy any more than his mother did.  I suspect Harry just wants a good time and his father’s attention.  


Thanks for sending this in. It’s very insightful and I’m going to have to re-read that Peter Hitchens piece.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Wow, amazing E! video on Meghan’s wardrobe. Melanie Bromley calls it “extreme” and her co-host says “but she was supposed to be the relatable one…she duped us.”

I had a ton of anons asking me if I would stop blogging after the wedding. THIS is why I didn’t stop blogging. This is the best part, people figuring out that it was all fake pr.

It’s definitely around end of July/beginning of August I remember before George was born people were wondering if Kate will give birth before Queen goes on holiday. And Edward in Queen’s 90th bday documentary commented that he always wanted to go to Scotland when his holidays started but couldn’t because Queen worked in July

Well, this year the State Room tours at Buckingham Palace start on 21 July and go until the end of September. I don’t know if that means the Queen goes somewhere else, such as Windsor or Sandringham, if she’s not done working before she goes to Scotland or not. 

Clarence House is only open in August when Charles & Camilla go to Scotland.

drubles-bestgum1:

Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, The Princess Royal and the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex and the Dukes of Gloucester and Kent, attend the annual Garter Day service at Windsor Castle. The Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Gloucester and the Countess of Wessex were on hand to support  their spouses. June 18, 2018

I think he’ll be able to remarry in CoE, all he needs is a reverend willing to wed a divorcee. There was something about Charles and Camilla, they could be wed in CoE but decided to have a civil marriage and church blessing because he’s an heir or something.

That’s not the way I remember it but whatever. 

If Harry wants to remarry in a few years time, then people are going to be annoyed because he’ll look like a serial marriage person. It’s just not a good look all around.

The gospel choir was Charles’ idea!

motherofbulldogs:

Tina Brown says that the gospel choir was Prince Charles’ idea. Makes sense that he’d hav to encourage them to get their act together and suggest musicians & singers for them to include. Remember that the choir and ‘cellist were announced rather late. Note also that the harpist at the wedding was the official harpist to the Prince of Wales.

The gospel choir was Charles’ idea!

Prince Charles is smart enough to understand when to retire and when to attack. I sincerely believe that Charles has his own plan. I wonder how he will manage Meghan & Catherine. Hary will push Catherine to agree to do something with her Wimbledon style, to be next to Catherine in Ascot. Trooping Color … but saw Catherine’s head in the photos.

I think Charles just has to manage Meghan. Kate can figure out pretty well how to handle Megs.

Prince Charles is not going to remove anything from Harry. Harry, by far, is the son he’s most closest too despite William being his heir. William basically shuts Charles out of his life and that of his kids. Meghan and Harry have little reason to do the same. Charles can use Meghan and Harry more than he can William. Him agreeing to walk her half way down the aisle is some of the most positive press and response from the public he’s seen in a while. People though it was upstanding of him.

Charles is going to distance himself from that dumb-fuck of a younger son he has for the time being. He may get public pr points from walking Megs down a quarter aisle, but he knows Megs is a pr disaster waiting to happen. 

Thanks for answering my ask! You said “he’ll hopefully see her for who she is” but how couldn’t he already?! Why did he break up with her in December of 2016? Why didn’t they remain broken up? Is this a case where his loneliness and desire to have what William and even Charles has taint his feelings for Meghan as “love” when it’s lust and loneliness?

nycrealroyal:

Thanks for answering my ask! You said “he’ll hopefully see her for who she is” but how couldn’t he already?! –> Only God and his stupid father knows. She took pics from a secured area at KP and was about to publish online (the one thatvrelease this information was me), he saw and they broke up. Oh, darling…She called him excessively to apologize, he accepted/stalked. Can be loneliness and also lack of focus, work and so on. 😘

Loved your recap! I noticed how things got pulled back together after PC and Cams returned from Greece. Things were really sliding off the rails at MM, er I mean, KP PR, but right after they got back, BRF got back to some semblance of being on-brand. Plus, the press got threatened/coerced into nothing but praise. I can’t even look at the DM page now. Barf.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yep, that’s what we’ve seen since the engagement announcement. The hot messes dig themselves into a hole and then the BRF swoops in and gives her a royal event to fix it. I think that’s going to be the way of things for a while.

Is the media ever going to bring up the fact that Doris family wasn’t there even if they weren’t the closet it doesn’t look good

nycrealroyal:

GOOD QUESTION! I felt sorry for her, she was there by herself, without one single familiar face (👈🏻 read again). And a comment that I will write on here: some people are complaining about Charles being a gentleman and walking and chatting with her. Just one question: What did you expect? Them to leave her walking by herself, in the middle of a total complete environment from hers, talking to her buttons. Really?!

Wedding Round-Up Post

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Cheesus, I have 100+ anons. Sorry, guys, I’ll be out most of the day, but I’ll do the best I can when I come back. 

Here’s the post I wrote yesterday. It’s super-long, so no pics:

Oh, well, I reached my posting limit, so I might as well do the round-up. (yes, this was yesterday)

Sorry about that guys. I’ll pace myself next time. I’m also going to start clustering anons and answering in groups as I’m hitting posting limits waaaaay too early every day.

Anyway, wedding roundup. I love overall themes and I think the theme here was “last minute save by the BRF.”

Remember when Harry reminded Meghan “you have a wedding to plan” during the Foundation Forum? Remember the invitations without his KVCO? Remember how we all wondered about the last minute cake and flowers?

Yep, it really was that slapdash.

Titles

But let’s start from the beginning–the titles. Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton, Baron Kilkeel. A rogue baron known for his outlaw marriages and divorces, Dumb-arton, and a small Irish village with a matching reference. You can’t beat that.

The DM is already starting with the “The Only Way Is Sussex” jokes.

The Program

Oops!

Décor

They really did just throw together a whole bunch of fake flowers. This looked positively nightmarish. I love the New Yorker description:

I walked in, through the “cascading hedgerow” that was wreathed around the church’s west door, and caught the full impact of the floral arrangements within. So overpowering was this that, to be frank, I wasn’t sure whether I should be taking notes or gathering pollen. If the guests had stayed in their pews for long enough, they would have ended up producing their own honey.

https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/harry-and-meghan-look-to-the-future-but-some-royals-never-change

Guests

The guest arrivals–Amal, Idris, James Blunt, James Corden, and a cast of millions…well, six hundred anyway. This truly looked like a red carpet with the guests posing and preening for the cameras.

http://deadline.com/2018/05/royal-wedding-photos-meghan-markle-prince-harry-celebrity-guests-arrivals-1202394501/

Interestingly, Pippa and Fergie seem to be classified as Hollywood celebs and Kate and the other royals aren’t.

This was the one part of the wedding that was definitely thought up in advance. That trip to LA in December was definitely Meghan putting together her dream celebrity guest list and getting the agents on board. Note that all of her agents were invited (of course!). This think looked and felt like a Hollywood party. I had an anon who said that it was “the Oscars she never had.” Yep, that describes it exactly.

No foreign royals (because they had no “personal connection” LOLOLOLOL). Very few non-US/UK people (even though they supposedly “own” the Commonwealth now). Few aristo friends (seated BEHIND the celebrity acquaintances, LOLOLOL). Tons of celebs that they don’t even know.

My favorite part was the DM describing Oprah as “US chat show queen.” LOLOLOLOL.

Guess the DM was right about that six-hour meeting with Doria and the pile of presents. I imagine we have an interview in the near future. I bet the BRF is thrilled to pieces about that. Not.

I gotta say, I was expecting celebs, but I wasn’t expecting THIS MANY celebs. This was a full Hollywood takeover.

But the aristo crowd still put up a good showing. Everyone looked lovely (even Fergie!). Eugenie and Bea looked cute. Chelsy, Joss, Pippa and Cress were gorgeous (even if Pippa did look like the Arizona iced tea can). Kitty Spencer stole the freaking show. She looked amazing.

Was Fergie the happiest guest there? She was positively ecstatic.

https://us.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2018052048764/jack-brooksbank-sweet-moment-sarah-ferguson/

BTW, Chelsy and her friend smh-ing at all the celebs in attendance was one of my favorite moments. You can tell they are trying to figure out who all these people are. That was a big contrast, the celebs were all greeting each other in a very showy way and the aristos were all taking their seats and wondering what exactly they had wandered into.

The family looked great, if a little recycled and mournful. There was a marked blend-into-the-background effort here. Everyone seemed to be trying to be calling as little attention to themselves as possible.

I’m not sure I like Sophie’s new love for the ¾ skirt, but Louise looked great. Zara looked amazing, it a little shell-shocked by the fact that this seemed to actually be happening. Kate and the Middletons recycled like crazy and managed not too laugh maniacally through the whole thing, a testament to Middletonian good manners.

The family show saved this from being just a crap celeb wedding. Charlotte’s wave stole the show.

But the theme of the wedding was clear from the beginning. Tons of celebs and they were given preferential treatment over even old friends. The architecture of the chapel worsened this effect as there was clearly a VIP seating area. Oprah’s “I can’t choose my own seat? Don’t you know who I am?” moment did not help. Well, we know what Slutsex’s priorities are now. God, what a pair of assholes these two are.

But I love being able to use that nickname. Thanks, HM!!!!

Anyway, the DM did a seating graph, just to make sure everyone got the point.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5748561/Royal-wedding-whos-sitting-best-seats-Harry-Meghans-marriage.html

Here are the pics of Meghan’s side of the aisle. I think the Royal Housewives crowd would have done a better job.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5748085/Meghan-Markles-closest-girlfriends-support-wedding-day.html

The Groom Arrival

Boy, they looked like they were going to a funeral. I think the goal here was simple elegance and this is a uniform that Harry consistently gets praise for…when he uses it for Remembrance Day. It is very somber and sad. I think they should have picked something else.

Notably, there were no “cute” Will and Harry moments. You could cut the tension with a dull knife at this event.

Time tried to go for “sweet” brother moments, but they had no luck.

http://time.com/5260147/prince-william-prince-harry-royal-wedding/

People compared the brothers’ two wedding appearances and the difference is striking.

http://people.com/royals/royal-wedding-compare-prince-william-prince-harry-best-man/

The Bride Arrival

I thought this was actually well done. No Spencer tiara, which was a good call. They looked lovely in the car and I’m sure Doria got a Cartier nose ring for the occasion. Nothing but class for these ladies, lol.

Elle, by the way, thought the “diamond” nose ring was the epitome of “chic.” I can’t handle it, the coverage for this fiasco is amazing.

https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a20106901/meghan-markle-mother-doria-ragland-royal-wedding-dress/

The tiara looked fug as hell, but the arrival in the car was not bad. For a minute there, I thought they might pull this off.

Then Meghan got out of the car.

The Dress

Well, I got the designer wrong (Stella ended up doing the evening dress), but this was exactly the silhouette I was picturing. She tried out the bateau neckline with that fug Theory top in Wales.

Never in a million years did I think she would pick the house that designed Kim Kardashian’s wedding dress, but there you go.

https://www.eonline.com/news/937038/meghan-markle-kim-kardashian-and-more-stars-who-wed-in-givenchy

http://people.com/royals/royal-wedding-meghan-markle-audrey-hepburn-givenchy-brides/

As I suspected, it looked meh and underwhelming in the Windsor Castle setting. The dress (the whole wedding, in fact, strewn flowers and rustic cake and all) would have looked lovely in Scotland or Norfolk or a place like that. It looked bland in Windsor and it didn’t seem to fit very well. The bouquet was meh. The veil looked like mosquito netting.

It was also JLO’s gown.

http://people.com/royals/royal-wedding-meghan-markle-dress-like-jennifer-lopez-wedding-planner/

The kids were cute because kids are always cute, but the stark black uniforms were just as sad and funeral-looking as the adults’.

Again, the BRF saved the day by planting a honking big (if abysmally ugly) tiara on her to make up for the underwhelming dress. They also announced that Harry had picked the bouquet flowers himself, a truly ludicrous statement since the bouquet matched those of the flower girls. I think they realized this and turned it into “one” flower or the forget-me-nots or something. LOL, I love how the KP lying is to painfully obvious now.

BTW, People identifies the true “Cinderella” story here. Meghan once struggled to get “Big Designers” to loan her clothes.

http://people.com/royals/juliet-angus-claims-no-designers-would-dress-meghan-markle/

and the messy bun was “supposed” to come loose. LOLOLOLOL. I can’t stop laughing.

http://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-messy-bun-royal-wedding/

The Entrance

This was carefully planned to produce a charming kid photo op and it failed utterly. All we got was Meghan impatiently waiting for less’ boys to get their act together.

They scheduled the event around the US time zones and forgot that the bright Spring sunlight would not work for photography. The skylights inside the chapel did not help, and neither did cutting down the number of photographers outside the chapel. I don’t think she has one good pic. James Whatling was, of course, the favored photog, but even he couldn’t get a pic without harsh shadows and bad lighting. Even the flower girl pics were bad.

And WTF with the mini-mes pageboys and flower girls? They really did dress the kids like they did the adults. This was my one huge disappointment with the ceremony. I was expecting the trainwreck of meh, but I was at least hoping the kid outfits would be awesome. They were the exact opposite of awesome. I feel like Ma Ingalls could have done a better job with a few flour sacks and her trusty sewing box.

The big BRF save here was having Chuck walk her down the aisle. The big laugh was Harry saying “You look amazing—I missed you” and Meghan simply replying “thank you.” True love, y’all.

The Service

Tentacle hands!!!! I thought the gospel choir was lovely and the preacher, of course, stole the show. Zara’s reactions were amazing. It was a lovely sermon, but very much in the American style, and you could tell that the Brits didn’t know what to make of it.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5747835/Bishop-raises-eyebrows-chapel.html

Most giggles arose during the “FIRE, FIRE, FIRE” section, but I, personally, started cackling when the reverend said “[w]hen love is the way, we actually treat each other — well, like we are actually family.” Extremely ironic words given the state of Meghan’s family. He should have said “we actually treat each other—like we are powerful celebrities with common financial and marketing interests.” That doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue though.

Justin Welby’s “x-rated line” (“together in the delight and tenderness of sexual union”) was also the cause of much merriment.

The Fly

No, I am not kidding about this.

The Vows.

Harry sounded sincere. I think this idiot is really in love. Meghan sounded more sincere during her Suits wedding. You’d think she’d be better at this given she’s had so much practice.

Doria did a good job and looked suitably moved. She has also had practice.

Walking out/The Kiss

Harry looked into it and poor Meghan looked like she was not enjoying it at all. I guess she’s more at home with the tentacle hands and burping. The DM called it theatrical. I guess it was, but I dunno, I think she’s done much better work before.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5749201/Harry-Meghans-Hollywood-Kiss-signalled-able-lead-day-says-body-language-expert.html

Carriage Ride.

Well, this made up for having to kiss Harry in public. They were both positively giddy during the carriage ride. They also got their one good pic here, an overhead shot where you can’t see either of their faces. They are holding hands while they soak up the crowd noise. LOL, you can tell that’s their favorite part of the whole thing. I guess this is why they wouldn’t budge on the $40 million expense.

Meghan dropped the F-bomb. Totes relatable, y’all.

Family Pic

Another Chuck save as he walked Doria and Camilla out of the church. The Cambridges looked lovely. Everyone looked bloody relieved.

The Cake

What the fug was this? I expected the cake to be bad, but this was atrocious. This was another big save by the BRF as they dug up their gaudiest gold serving plates to try to make this look good. It really was that crap layer cake she was working on. Was this supposed to feed 600 people? Were they serving their guests crumbs?

The baker proudly posted a close-up of the messy frosting on her IG. She really did just spackle on some buttercream and toss on some flowers. I honestly don’t understand why this woman is not dying of embarrassment right now.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi_QLu9AXH4/?hl=en&taken-by=violetcakeslondon

The Reception

Stand-up (The Duchess of Kent arrived in sneakers, so I guess someone had warned her) and serving finger food. The BRF again saves the day by stuffing as many obscure words as they could into the menu to make it somewhat interesting. Still, asparagus wrapped in prosciutto? Tomato and basil? I guess the Olive Garden touch is a lovely nod to the bride’s American heritage. I bet the guests wished that the nod would have extended to all-you-can-eat breadsticks.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5749117/Harry-Meghan-enjoy-wedding-party-naughty-speeches-Princes-pals.html

Notably, Chuck did not break out the vintage vino for this crowd. That says it all.

Meghan’s much vaunted tradition-breaking speech actually happened during the evening event. Ah, the hype of it all.

She finally got to thank the Academy, sorry the Royal Family, for the support.

The After-Party

LOLOLOLOL. She got Di’s divorcee ring. That is so, so creepy. She looked overjoyed about it though, even happier than she was during the carriage ride. That ring is famous because Di wore it to her 1997 clothes auction, a huge symbolic break with her royal past. I bet the royals parted with it gladly.

And STEEEEEELLLLLAAAAAAA!!!!!!! Finally, I guess she hit TWO celeb-connected designers instead of one. She’s covering all her celeb bases. Halter top was tacky as hell and didn’t fit, of course, but it gave her a long-desired Bond Girl moment. Slut strand city too.

This wedding was all about giving her the Hollywood events she couldn’t earn through her acting talents—celeb red carpet, Bond Girl scene, tiara acceptance speech.

A new Jag, without the sentimental luggage of the car Will and Kate used for their getaway, and a very James Bond exit to Frogmore House. These two really think they are filming a movie, or rather a Bond-themed car ad. He absolutely murdered his “regular joe,” “People’s Prince” image in one fell swoop.

I loved that little wave she did showing off her Diana loot. There is a refreshing honesty to Meghan Markle. She’s not going to pretend that she’d rusticate in Dumfuck, Wales with her man. She’s into it for the BS Weekly covers, the Oprah interviews, the BFF Amal leaks and the Diana loot and she’s not ashamed to show it. Harry really does have the IQ of stale hummus, doesn’t he? I think he straight out owned this ring and he just gave it to her as a present. Good luck getting it back in the divorce, dumbass.

Harry cried again during the after party.

I’m honestly surprised at the fact that Meghan didn’t even bother to fake-cry. This dude is practically dying of dehydration, Megs. Make en effort.

But the best part of the after party is all the new celeb friends merching and posting on IG and bragging about meeting the BRF. Congrats on your “new circle” of friends, Harry.

Cheesus, even Nacho was selling cologne with his “evening invite” and I’d always been so proud of him for not using the royal connection on anything but sport and charity business. Guess the rules have changed.

I hear that someone leaked reception pics to the DM and Harry had them taken down. LOLOLOL because hypocrisy much?

Oh, and kudos to Priyanka on merching the Dior “Diana” bag. Bitch does her research.

Jess got a second Pippa “butt pic” in. LOLOLOLOLOL.

Her Family

The Markles celebrated with Burger King crowns and television cameras.

The Website

The BRF website is now officially the TIG. OMG, she’s bragging about her high school volunteering. These people have been doing charity all their lives and she’s bragging about her 9thgrade extracurricular.

https://www.royal.uk/duchess-sussex

I saw a few tweets wondering why she didn’t mention her acting. LOLOLOLOL, this is typical Markle re-invention. In a few months, it will be as if she never acted at all.

Random Stuff

She gave Kate a friendship bracelet!!!! I had an anon who said this would happen. Kudos anon.  It looks like a Claire’s Easter special, and it’s for sale for $450 dollars because of course it is.

And on a scale of 1 to Millie Mackintosh’s publicist, how good are you at your job? This girl got more publicity out of the wedding than most invitees (Priyanka Chopra excepted, of course).

Ratings and crowd

18 million in the UK, way less than W&K’s audience of 24 million. 

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/20/royal-wedding-confirmed-as-years-biggest-uk-tv-event

US ratings were 22.4 a smidgen less than Will and Kate’s 23 million.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tv-ratings-royal-wedding-brings-18-million-viewers-us-broadcast-1113498

They got 4M in Australia which was  close to Will and Kate’s 4.8 million. I thought these numbers were ridiculously low, but then I realized that Australia only has 24 million people. They are smaller than Texas!

https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/royal-family/seven-claims-royal-wedding-ratings-win-as-millions-tune-in/news-story/4b020773c51004c1657ed52322c6802b

Crowd seems to be generally described as “around 100,000.” I can’t find a closer number than that, but I’m guessing it’s going to come out below that.

The BBC trolled Trump with a pic of his inaguration. I loved this because I hate Trump more than I hate Meghan, but, sadly, they are full of shit. Trump was mocked because he said his inaguration crowd was “the biggest ever” and it only pulled in like 240,000 people in the Mall, which is pathetic when compared to Obama’s 800,000. He still, however, pulled in 240k and I’ve heard of Dem “scare the troops into working” emails that screech “don’t’ be complacent because he may have actually gotten 400k, which is an average inaguration crowd!!!!! Get back to door knocking you lazy buttholes.”

And they seemed to be expecting A LOT more.

Conclusion

The general theme here seemed to be “Will & Kate’s wedding, but tackier.” Where the Cambridges stressed family and continuity, the Slutsexes are stressing materialism and celeb worship. Where the Cambridges focused on British heritage and history, the Slutsexes focus on luxury brands and self-promotion. Where the Cambridges had composure and  restraint, the Slutsexes had Hollywood posing and random cursing.

But at least the Kardashians sent their congratulations.

http://people.com/royals/royal-wedding-khloe-kardashian-congratulates-meghan-markle/

And the K-Klub even produced a little merger offer. I doubt William will pick them up on it, but the Slutsexes are likely going to have a baby soon so a future Kardashian-Slutsex marriage may not be out of the question.

The other main theme is, where the hell did the money go? $270k for that David’s Bridal special? No way. The cake was tiny and took no effort. The flowers were plastic. The reception menu was a Costco appetizer platter with a good thesaurus. Did they spend all of Chuck’s money on Meghan’s gotta-catch’em-all Cartier collection and Harry’s new Jag? “Sorry, honeybun, we can’t afford the Jag AND mozzarella. One’s gotta go.” “Oh, hell, just serve them tomato with a basil leaf on top and call it a ‘tartare.’ They are American. They won’t know the difference.”

And, finally, hooray for the celebration of black America. It wasn’t what anyone expected, but I’m sure it will serve Meghan in good stead when she ditches her groom and returns to the States.

Even Piers Morgan was all “well, this is highly significant for the Americans.”

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5749015/PIERS-MORGAN-gives-verdict-ultimate-showbiz-wedding.html

We Americans are amazing. We just conned England into paying $40M for a celebration of out culture. We rock.

This little wedding trip plays to both countries’ psychoses. We get to re-establish our position as the belly-button of the universe by having Britain’s royal family be all about us and our racial wounds, and Britain gets to feel like a world power again by acting like their two-bit hereditary whatnot trumps our first Black First Lady and validates our social progress. It’s the special relationship at its best.

Overall, however, I say this is a win for the BRF.  Long after Meghan has divorced Harry, packed her Diana ring and Cartier collection, the BRF will still have pics of the day they embraced multiculturalism with a gospel-themed wedding with MLK quotes. Well done.

They didn’t look triumphant, though. That last pic of Doria, Charles, Cam, and the Cambridges was, imo, relieved, yet mournful. 

My last thought is, how fucking whipped is this dude? From the “I hope Meghan’s alright” moment to the baby-ish hand-holding, to the aquamarine ring, it was pretty clear (at least to me) that this guy is idiotically in love. I’ve gotten a lot of anons asking me what’s going on behind the scenes and why is she “getting everything she wants” and asking if she’s blackmailing the BRF or something.

I think he’s in love. It’s as simple as that. He’s and idiot and he’s in love and he’s desperate to keep her and he knows this is the way he can keep her—jewels and publicity and Diana crap.

It’s gonna be pretty goddamn tragic when she ditches him the way she has ditched everyone.

I also have a lot of anons asking me what I think will happen next. I think it will be the same stuff we’ve seen until now Harry and Meghan fuck up (engagement dress, nude pics, family drama) and the BRF comes in an saves them (Sandringham, Commonwealth everything, and Charles walking Megs down the aisle). It will be wash, rinse, repeat until they fuck up so magnificently that even the BRF can’t save them. Also, baby rumors around August, baby announcement by September, and baby bump by Eugenie’s wedding. I also think they will go on a “work” spree to try to overshadow the Cambridges who will just roll their eyes and get working on Cambridge #4. We should also see a ton of ill-fitting, untaiilored high fashion “lewks” because this woman has now reached merching Nirvana. 

Cheers.

I’m thinking PH/MM believe once they have children it will be endless photo-ops w/their very own PG/PC, and everyone will love them and they will outshine PW/DC. The problem is the Markle family is NEVER going away and PH/MM’s child will give the Markles (& Doria) endless photo-op and press/interviews. This circus will NEVER end. I agree w/you HoB that PC will have to permanently sideline PH (&cut his pay). It will be the only way to save the Monarchy. Seriously.

I suspect Charles will just cut Harry off financially first. We won’t know about it, but it’ll mean that Harry will have to pay for everything out of the money Diana bequeathed to him. No one knows how much of that there still is. But at the rate Meghan spends it probably won’t last as long as Harry thinks it will. 

IF Harry & Megs are able to conceive–and that’s an IF because IVF does not guarantee a pregnancy let alone a delivered baby–their children will never be as sought after as Will & Kate’s. Beatrice and Eugenie were never as popular for international photographs as William and Harry. That’s one thing H&M seem not to understand. And that their stans don’t seem to understand either. I’m sure Megs is already planning names and pap opportunities; however, part of the reason why people go gaga over George and Charlotte is that we see them on few occasions. H&M’s strategy is to send everything straight to the tabs because they want their headlines and front pages. They would never get the huge crowds at the Lindo Wing like Will & Kate because none of their children will be close to the throne. Harry is currently number six, which means all his children will be even lower down the ladder. And I don’t think Megs would even be able to do a same day photo op after giving birth; she looks too frail.

I think much of the Markle family will go away after the wedding. They’re not going to stay in the UK. Most of them seem to have lives of their own except for a few, and at a certain point they’ll become old news, possibly sooner than we think.

I don’t agree with the anon who said Charles needs Harry. Charles needs William & his family to be the stabilizing force for the future of the Monarchy. To prevent a PR disaster, H&M will slowly be phased out of the ‘main’ RF & will pop up on occasions like Sandrigham & Trooping. And that’s when M will leave so that she can sell her stories & make money. I suspect though Will might be PH saving grace in the long run.

Will always has to save Harry’s ass for some reason. Harry needs to marry someone who’s going to save his ass not sell out his ass.
