“Actually, Phillip doesn’t call hm cabbage. He’s been heard to call her “mon chou” or however it’s spelled, which is a common french term of endearment that translates to “my cabbage.”” Can I please correct this as a French person. “Chou” does mean cabbage + the plural of cabbage is “choux” (pronounced the same), but that’s not what he’s calling her. “Choux” is also a word for a kind of puff pastry filled with cream. It gets my goat when people make this translation error. Google “choux pastry”.

I was wondering about this! Thanks.

That express article just made me realize what was irking me so badly about the photos of Meghan interacting with Her Majesty. Meghan behaves like The Queen is some adorable and pitiful old lady but Her Majesty is a powerful bad ass legend yet Meghan is sitting there doing her fake head tilt and smiling at her like “aw isn’t she just so adorbs”

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Yep. She said something at the engagement interview that sounded like that tool

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.

Queen Elizabeth II arrives during the Order Of The Garter Service at Windsor Castle on June 18, 2018

The Order of the Garter was set up in 1358.

It was founded by
King Edward III after he became inspired by the tales of King Arthur and
the chivalric Knights of the Round Table.

Nearly 700-years-late, the Order is the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain.

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

we need your thoughts calm and logical. I’m tired of hearing oh Meghan gets that because he’s biracial uh it becomes anything as a black woman it’s illogical. Apparently Harry would have begged granny for these 3 events with Meghan. When I read the comments on Daily Mail or Express everything becomes very strange to the British with no logical sense.

I think it’s like other people have noted. The BRF is doing damage control with Megs because after her regional tour of the UK and the Commonwealth stuff, she isn’t able to function as a proper member of the BRF. 

Megs did all of those engagements with Harry, and she still doesn’t know how to conduct herself properly as a member of the BRF. 

So the pressure will be on Megs to get it right next Thursday (the 14th). 

If she fucks up WHILE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE QUEEN, then Fleet Street will not forget it.

The British royal family will not forget it. 

And the British public will not forget it.

The pressure is on Meghan for these engagements, not the Queen or anyone else.

Why are folks bothered about her outing with the queen? Who cares. I think she mucked up badly at that garden party and the queen is showing her how it’s done. I predict she will look crazy, act crazy and hm will be one and done. Thing about the skank is she can’t keep it up for long, hence her lack of longest it’s with folks. She can’t do it. Harry sold her as you always say but there is no there there.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

That’s my take on it too. I think people are still surprised at the amount of hand-holding she is getting. I figured that was the case when they spent tons of money doing the nothing burger Foundation Forum so she could show up in a navy bathrobe and quote some Twitter hashtags.

But, yes, the schedule is exactly like the Cardiff and Edinburgh visits that she fumbled. They’re showing her how it’s done.

If HM is working harder than ever, then why is she giving MM 3 events with her in one day? Is this another hand holding thing? No way the Queen sees her as an asset.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

I’d say hand-holding, but it’s going to be spun as “an asset.”

The original expectation was that Meghan was going to effortlessly “nail” all of this and the spin during the “regional tour” was that she was forging ahead with her own “messy bun and black pants” version of royal style and this was The Best Thing EVER. 

But her after-regional tour persona has been a complete RepliKate makeover with senior royals stepping in to show her how it’s done. I know the media is spinning this as “right hand woman” or whatever, but Kate was flipping pancakes during her engagement and doing solo charity galas after her wedding. She was completely independent.

So far, Meghan has (i) laughed at a Commonwealth Service performer, (ii) gone to a memorial service sleeveless, (iii) worn ROI colors in NI, (iv) shown up with messy hair and clothes, (v) shown up at her wedding stoned, (vi) sexily shashayed up and down, (vii) grabbed the other royals…etc…  Not to mention the $75k engagement dress, the engagement interview snafus, and the mishandling of the family drama at the wedding.

I know we’re going to get a ton of “Meghan supporting HM” press, but I see this more as hand-holding and damage control. The royals don’t “bond” during engagements. They work. You don’t bring your grandson’s clueless bride to a work event so you can get to know her better. You bring her to show her how it’s done.

“Did anyone else notice that the queen looked very unhappy? She didn’t give a single smile at the whole wedding. I think she isn’t satisfied with harry’s choice but she dare not to refuse his choice after what happened with charles. I could be wrong but that what I truly felt.“ – Submitted by Anonymous

The Queen and Zara Phillips as you’ve never seen them before

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Oh, wow, that “never seen before pic of Meghan and Harry” publicity stunt WAS A COPYCAT. 

A real royal fan found a previously unseen pic of HM and Zara on her wedding day in the Holyroodhouse reception room and tweeted it ON MAY 1.

That’s where they got the idea. LOL, these people…I swear…

The Queen and Zara Phillips as you’ve never seen them before

Okay do the gist of the story is that Harry and Meghan love each other and are getting married, right? No consiracy blah blah. Butt please please tell us why every thing was done so badly?? the cards were hideous and so was the seal. The fake statements. Her awful attire and mannerisms. Why???

nycrealroyal:

Okay do the gist of the story is that Harry and Meghan love each other and are getting married, right? –> Yeah. I didnt feel that from her. But, yrah! when they broke up, there was an emotional blackmail. Sort of: “I was ready to give up my life because of you, to be with you” He was left alone to organize, only having kp staff. Maybe he would give up. Cards? 🤔 The seal was HM’s idea. (Me saying: Maybe doing something tacky would show how loved they are 👀👀👀) They had false content, but they were real. 🤣😉 I get your feeling.
