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. 

You can tell it’s Meghan fans who trying to start some old a** gossip again. Celebitchy is the site that started this crap yesterday. Imagine dragging ancient gossip that was denied BACK IN 2003. Her own family denied the rumors and said William and her never dated. Look at William,he could not stop talking about his wife at all yesterday,that dude could not be more in love with his wife,and people who believe gossip like this don’t know William’s character at all. .

I guess. But you can’t really predict stupid sometimes.

In burger word salad forum; PW talked about Mental Health at work place and illegal wildlife then He did actualy do something about it. Catherine talked about early years and she is in maternity leave. Before the leave she actually launched Mental Health in Schools. What about knife crime that Dumwit talking or eco tourism? Finally what happened to the wedding charity fund? We are still waiting…

anonymoushouseplantfan:

So far this year, Will has launched Mental Health at Work, Step into Health and Workplace Wellbeing.

Kate launched Mentally Healthy schools and her new early years program.

https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/princess-kate-launches-mental-health-program-schools-commitment/story?id=52544635

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6169611/Duchess-Cambridge-launches-solo-charity-campaign-help-disadvantaged-children.html

I’m not sure what the DoSex are doing. Frankly, this is what I was expecting Harry and Meghan to do this month–big charity launches that fit their individual interests, including a big solo project for Meghan. I’m very happy that Will and Kate are stepping up their mental health and children’s health work and creating these initiatives, but where are the Harkles? 

I think this is as you said the post wedding tour. Harry is majorly competitive with William and often demands a quid pro quo whenever Will gets anything. I expect Harry MM to be marginalized slowly but surely after this tour. Kate will be back and the real royals will be the focus. The two celebs will visit “youth” and plant trees in tiny commonwealth nations.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yes, I realize that, and I see how the big wedding and splashy tour feeds into that. But I’m still baffled by the Commonwealth Youth Ambassador title and the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust and the canopy. His “big” fundraisers have been for Sentebale and his wedding charities were small and many of them non-UK.

 Yes, it all looks like the same thing Will and Kate did, but it’s very different in substance. Will and Kate did a lot of fundraising for their foundation during their first year and then they went on to establish a strong charity base in the UK. They built a strong platform and developed their own institutions. Harry is not doing that. Heck, he’s compromising his strong Invictus platform to go plant trees for the canopy. 

William is building relationships with the UK business community. Harry is merching for Givenchy, and sucking up to the Clooneys and Lin-Manuel. Kate is extending her patronage to legacy UK museums, while Meghan is selling Jess’ crap Canadian brands.

I don’t think he will be marginalized. I think he already is being marginalized with these non-UK “positions” and “events.” This is what they’ve traditionally done with all of their problem family members.

The plan was not for Harry to be marginalized but Harry’s idiocy has resulted in this. He was supposed to be Will’s right hand man when the time came and stay in the military til he was 40. He quit though and so the commonwealth gig was to acquaint him with foreign leaders diplomatic missions etc. Harry blew it. He is simply not bright enough to understand Will’s way is the right way and that the celeb BS is totally wrong way. Weak man easily influenced by the wrong people.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Maybe.

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.

As long as HM is alive, W&K will tow the line giving the 2 dumbshits more photo ops everytime they fuck up. So far theyve kept the kids at a distance, even at the wedding which I thought was interesting. I dont want to jinx it but it seems theyve drawn the line in regards to the kids. I just wish Kate would step up & say no more photo ops—however I think its William who keeps allowing it to happen at the request of BP instead of letting his grown ass brother fall on his own

image

I do hope W&K start distancing themselves however if hey distance themselves too much they will be seen as “abandoning” Harry in the time of need blah blah blah. But if I was Kate, id be putting my foot down already & tell them to shove it everytime they told me I had to go do a photo op for their fuck ups. I would not like being dragged into this mess whether it made me look good or bad because in the end, everyone in the brf except harry will still get blamed for this mess.

I’d do the same. W&K should be concentrating more on their kids. When this begins breaking down, Harry should be the one with all the media pointed at him. His family tried to warn him, tried to get him to slow down and think. But he refused.

Some people just have to learn the hard way.

I checked twitter & the Queen was pictured going to church on the 30th. I wonder if we will get a CYA photo op of the Dumbshits & the Queen going to church later in August. The Cambs are coming back from Mustique to attend the wedding on saturday, so I imagine W&K are having to do another CYA photo op for the duchess dumbass. Then will probably head to amner hall until September

That seems to be the speculation I’m seeing. I would hope that W&K would be smart enough to start distancing themselves from this shit show. There is no reason for them to continue to bail out Harry. It’s a waste of their time and pr capital. 

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

I’d say Pw and Kate have to prepare their kids for encounters with the media so whatever discussion they had before today’s event would have included – they will only be there when we are outside they won’t be in the church. And what we got was a 3 yr olds interpretation of that conversation. Not a badly behaving child.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I think that’s exactly what happened. “We come out of the church and they take our picture and then we go in to tea and they stay behind.” 

george’s so cute. i love that he’s a very gentle soul. bless him for not wanting to play football because he doesn’t want to hurt people. and it is so nice to see w&k embrace his gentleness- i know a lot of parents who wouldn’t do that and would tell their kids to ‘toughen up’.

duchessofostergotlands:

They both talk a lot in public about children’s health and wellbeing and I love that they actually walk the walk. They chose a school specifically because it prioritises emotional support, not because it’s traditional. They seem to respect George’s space and they encourage the things he likes. I think it’s wonderful to see how far things have come since Charles’s childhood 

I think the usual haters are expecting William to actually say something wrong but since it did not happened they have to criticized the itinerary. They want to deny it was a successful trip for William.

duchessofostergotlands:

Yep. And I’ve never really understood that. I don’t like lots of people but I can recognise when they make important contributions or do something nice. I’m not a Harry fan but Invictus is great. I’m not an Andrew fan but he’s helped a lot of people with Pitch@ the Palace. I’m not a fan of Edward but he works really hard for the DofE award. People aren’t black and white, good or bad, nice or mean. It’s fair enough not to like someone but to assume that means you automatically have to disagree with everything they have done or will do is so narrow minded. The itinerary was decided by the host with input and approval from KP as it always is so issues with it are things to take up with the FCO and Israel/Palestine/Jordan themselves but purely on performance he surpassed my expectations and I am incredibly pleased with his work. I say that as a British taxpayer, which according to the history of this fandom gives me the power to veto anyone’s opinions 😉

Was it like that with Kate.. like was she this invisible after her marriage? Were all her appearances documented like crazy for days? It seems like with markle the press waits with baited breath for her next engagement and the days that shes not out its just endless articles on her nonsense.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Do you mean “visible” instead of “invisible”? Because Will and Kate were EVERYWHERE in 2011.

My recollection of the Cambridge’s first year is that they would disappear for weeks and then we’d get some ridiculously high-profile huge-press event like meeting the Obamas or touring the US or Kate having a solo gala. The DM has a summary of their first year.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2135065/Kate-Middleton-Prince-Williams-year-marriage-looked-on.html 

There was a ton of coverage of everything they did (including mundane stuff like shopping or talking walks), and they were credited with re-invigorating the monarchy.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/prince-william-kate-middleton-year-marriage-reinvigorated-fading-luster-royals-article-1.1065498

The Canada tour had so much coverage that even the reporter were complaining.

http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/07/05/royal-rivalry-prince-william-trounces-kate-in-canadian-dragon-boat-race/

I remember there was a lot of curiosity about their personal lives–honeymoon, house, shopping, Lupo, date nights, relationship with the Middletons, Kate’s shopping trips to London. Also, Kate’s fashion had a ton of coverage. The beige Reiss dress she wore to meet the Obamas, in particular, was a sensation.

Even their first anniversary dinner was a source of huge speculation.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2137129/Kate-Pippa-Middleton-attend-friends-big-day-year-royal-wedding.html

The main difference I see between the way the couples are/were covered by the press is that with Will and Kate there was HUGE interest in their interactions and private life. Everyone wanted to know what the cottage looked like, how they interacted with each other, what Kate was cooking, what the dog’s name was, etc… There was also a ton of interest in Kate’s clothes, organic interest and not just People mag trying to sell beach cover-ups.

With the Slutsexes, there’s more interest in how Meghan is handling the royal protocol than anything else. The “fish out of water” aspect of it is taking over. Will and Kate didn’t have that kind of coverage, mainly because Kate had been part of “The Windsor Show” for so long that her official intro was seamless. 

Looking back the Cambridge’s first year, what strikes me is how “fresh” their appearances were–with the Obamas at the palace, in the Canadian wilderness, playing polo in LA, playing with kids. They really looked like a young couple who were having fun and putting a new spin on what it meant to be royal. In contrast, Meghan in her off-color pantyhose and 80s Diana outfits is already looking like a Madame Tussaud’s wax figure. Actually, the official was figure looks younger than Meghan right now.

PW opened today to little pr James Place – a center for men’s mental health dedicated to James Wentworth Stanley the brother of Cressie’s BF who inexplicably committed suicide at age 21. When James Mum announced the plans to open the center PW told her he’d come open it. And he made good on that promise today. Harry of course is busy escorting his escort around.

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

Meghan coming into the royal family has turned the online royal watching community into the twilight zone. There are bloggers on here who 2 years ago would’ve defended Harry to their last dying breath, thinking he was going to save the monarchy (since when was it dying tho), and bit your head off if you dared say one nice thing about W&K. Those same bloggers are now complimenting W&K and using them as the golden standard of royal couples, and have denounced Harry as a leper. Twilight Zone.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

There’s also the other side with people who thought the Middletons were making money off the monarchy, controlling William, and leaking and posing for paps now defending Meghan left and right when she’s doing all of that X100.

I understand the Harry fans flipping. I think Harry’s 2015 press emphasized tradition and loyalty and the military and family and a lot of people became his fans because of that. It made him look like the more “royal” brother.  Wiliam’s press, on the other hand, emphasized Kate, his family, his air ambulance work, and the Middletons, and it made him look comparatively less “royal.” The US tour and the friendships with tennis players and celebrity sailors also made the Cambridges feel more Hollywood, as did Kate’s emphasis on fashion and hair. As a result, the fans who were more into the traditional aspects of the BRF gravitated towards Harry and shunned the Cambridges.

But that has all flipped now. Thanks to Meghan, Harry is now the less “royal” brother and the Cambridges, who have barely changed any behaviors, are now super-traditional royals in comparison. 

So I kind of understand why the Harry fans flipped. Harry no longer represents their values. I do not, however, understand why the Kate haters are now Meghan sugars. Everything they supposedly hated about Kate–untidyness, love for the press, messy family, flyaway hair, fake hair, materialism, merching, celebrity friends–is even worse with Meghan. 

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. 

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.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5748627/Funnyman-James-Corden-host-royal-wedding-reception-Frogmore-House.html

The Program

Oops!

http://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-prince-harry-royal-wedding-order-of-service/

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.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5749359/Royal-Wedding-Harry-bride-dressed-page-boys-bridesmaids-match-themselves.html

Jessica Mulroney put on a “slutty Pippa” costume and nailed her butt shot. Hey, we all have goals.

https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a20758098/jessica-mulroney-pippa-middleton-royal-wedding/

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.

The royals’ faces were EPIC. Zara looked shell shocked and Kate was trying hard to keep from laughing out loud.

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.

Harry cried during Diana’s funeral song, of course he did.

Chelsy’s “somber” face became a meme, which is interesting because EVERYONE was wearing this face.

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

The extremely awkward kiss was the pic that made ALL THE COVERS. Wow, it looks hella stiff.

http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-the-papers-44186589

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.

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.

https://us.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2015021123377/prince-william-kate-middleton-wedding-menu/

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.

http://people.com/royals/something-blue-meghan-markle-shoes-ring-wedding-reception/

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. 

http://www.itv.com/news/2018-05-19/emotional-prince-harry-in-tears-as-he-talks-about-love-in-grooms-speech/

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.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5748403/Meghans-uninvited-family-celebrates-wedding-Burger-King-crowns.html

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.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5749175/Anything-Kate-Meghan-Two-familiar-different-Royal-Weddings.html

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.

http://hollywoodlife.com/2018/05/19/khloe-kardashian-wants-true-prince-george-marry-royal-wedding/

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.
