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

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge failed to attend a board meeting of the Royal Foundation this week amid rumours of a royal rift with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
William and Kate lead the foundation together with Harry and Meghan but while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex both attended the meeting, as well as a staff Christmas party afterwards, the other two members of the so-called Fab Four didn’t show up.
Kensington Palace insists that the Cambridges were not expected, but a source admitted that it ‘was a shame’ they didn’t attend the meeting or the subsequent party.
Rumours of a rift between the Cambridges and the Sussexes have spread like wildfire following the announcement that Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, are set to move away from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage.
And the latest chapter of the rumoured rivalry saw Harry and Meghan attend the board meeting alone.
A source revealed: ‘Not only were Harry and Meghan there, but they went to the staff Christmas party afterwards.
‘It was a very jolly affair. It’s a shame that William and Catherine did not turn up.’
Kensington Palace insists that the Cambridges had not been expected. ‘Their Royal Highnesses attend these meetings in turn,’ a spokesman says.
‘This session was focused on programmes led by the Duke of Sussex.’
Sooo… Cambridges weren’t supposed to be there, but Meg’s PR attempts are trying to throw them under the bus to her advantage!
Although the rift has mostly focused on the relationship between Meghan and Kate, recent reports suggest that the issue is actually between William and Harry.
According to the Sun, a royal source claims that Harry is accusing William of trying to ‘wreck his relationship with Meghan’.
William is believed to have ‘voiced concerns’ about Meghan to his brother.
And Harry’s over-protectiveness of his wife has apparently driven a wedge between the two brothers.
One courtier told the Sun: ‘It’s my opinion that Harry feels he couldn’t protect his mother, so he’s going all out to protect his wife.
‘This is his way of atoning. He will brook absolutely no criticism of Meghan — and he is so sensitive he often sees criticism or negativity where there isn’t any.’
When all else fails, bring up Mummy Diana’s name to solve the PR problem!
The friction between the two apparently started when William tried to give Harry some brotherly advice about the Canadian actress, back when their romance was still fairly new.
However, the chat went down badly with one friend saying that Harry ‘went mental’.
The friend added that the relationship between the two brothers has never really recovered since.
Sooo…. it’s all William’s fault because he was butting in where he shouldn’t have….
The source also revealed that Meghan felt rebuffed when she tried to befriend Kate and that the brothers are competing against each other over palace appointments.
Meghan apparently tried to approach Kate to learn the ropes but the Duchess of Cambridge was pre-occupied with her children Prince Louis, George, five, and Charlotte, three.
ANNNDDD…. It’s not Meghan’s fault that she’s not friends with Kate! Regina George Meghan is the one making an effort, not Kate.
The Duchess of Sussex is also said to be surprising the royal household with just how keen her mind is.
Harry and Meghan are set to move out of Kensington Palace – and away from William and Kate – to make a new home at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
Officially, the couple are moving to have their own space for their new child who is due in the spring.
However, rumours have spread since the announcement that a secret family feud is the real reason for the move.
Forget the girls, it’s simmering tensions between brothers William and Harry that are at the heart of the frostiness between the two royal power couples
EXCLUSIVEBy Emily Andrews, Royal Correspondent7th December 2018, 10:15 pmUpdated: 8th December 2018, 11:25 am
Oh, Emily! When are you going to learn you’re a fool for doing Meghan’s bidding??
FOR two weeks all eyes have been on the “difficult relationship” between royal wives Meghan and Kate.
But today the Sun can reveal the simmering tensions between brothers William and Harry are at the heart of the frostiness between the two couples.
HARRY accusing Wills of trying to “wreck his relationship” with Meghan after he voiced concerns over her;
MEGHAN feeling rebuffed when she tried to befriend Kate;
RIVALRY between the brothers’ over palace appointments, and;
HARRY’S desire to protect his wife at all costs after not being able to do so for Princess Diana.
From being young boys united in grief to building Britain’s modern monarchy together, the brothers could not have been closer.
Until now.
For insiders say it is problems between them, dating back to when Meghan, 37, appeared on the scene, that are fuelling the fallings-out.
And Harry’s over-protectiveness of his wife — and refusal to see reason — is the main cause of the chasm.
As one courtier told me: “It’s my opinion that Harry feels he couldn’t protect his mother, so he’s going all out to protect his wife.
“This is his way of atoning.
“He will brook absolutely no criticism of Meghan — and he is so sensitive he often sees criticism or negativity where there isn’t any.”
Using the memory of mummy dearest when all other PR strategies fail….
Of course, the brothers have locked horns before. William, 36, was said to be furious with Harry, 34, for getting caught on camera stripping in a Las Vegas hotel room six years ago.
Can you blame William, though? Harry was old enough to know better…
But they always turned to each other when times were tough — the only people who could truly understand their lives.
The first hint of friction came after William was introduced to Meghan, 37, when she was staying at Kensington Palace.
Once she’d returned home to Canada, Wills sat Harry down for a chat — meant as brotherly advice.
He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for the US star but wanted him to take it slowly.
A well-placed source said: “William told his brother they knew nothing about her background, her intentions, what she was really like.
“He just wanted to stress that becoming part of the Royal Family is a massive undertaking and the pressure and scrutiny is unrelenting. Was Meghan the right one?”
The chat did not go down well.
“Harry went mental,” said the friend. “He accused his brother of trying to finish his romance before it had begun. The brothers’ relationship has not really recovered.”
The Sun understands other senior members of the family also “had concerns” and voiced them to Harry.
A royal source said: “Meghan hoped Kate would show her the ropes. But, equally understandably, Kate was busy. She didn’t have as much time for her as Meghan would have liked. They were at very different places in their lives.
Meghan felt rebuffed… all these stories about her not listening and being demanding simply just aren’t true! It’s Kate’s fault!
Harry did not take this lightly and spoke to William about making Meghan feel welcome. William, of course, took his wife’s side — after all, she was following his lead.
In February, the Fab Four appeared on stage together for the first time to talk about their Royal Foundation charitable work.
Host Tina Daheley asked them: “Working together as a family, do you ever have disagreements about things?” Cue nervous laughter.
Meghan looked down, Kate fiddled with her hair and they left it to William, who answered with a very direct: “Oh yes.”
Harry then joked that there are so many clashes that “they come so thick and fast.” When asked if they’d been “resolved”, Wills jokingly replied: “We don’t know!” Could he have been thinking about Harry’s new role as a youth ambassador for the Commonwealth? Wills’ nose was reportedly put out of joint when the Queen gave the plum job to his brother instead of him.
Afterwards William had to be cajoled into doing anything for the Commonwealth, say courtiers.
But aides point out that if he’d wanted to veto Harry’s appointment, he could have done so. However, the tension didn’t help matters, coming as it did before May’s Royal Wedding.
Ah, yes, William, future Prince of Wales and likely future Head of the Commonwealth, is jealous of Harry’s made up position of Commonwealth Youth Ambassador….
Meghan’s father Thomas Markle was about to pull out of walking his daughter down the aisle after it was revealed he had posed for paparazzi pictures. Calm but collected, Meghan decided her team should say nothing publicly and cut him off.
However, William — having lost his mum — couldn’t understand ignoring a parent, whatever they’d done. He thought Meghan was making a mistake.
Meghan is said to be far less intimidated by the royals than might be supposed. At a recent gathering of senior family members, including Meghan, one well-placed aide remarked: “All their IQs put together would not equal hers.”
The bolthole is used to entertain friends like Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas — now her husband — Serena Williams and George and Amal Clooney.
William and Kate also swerved a board meeting oft he Royal Foundation this week, leaving Harry and Meg to go alone.
They also missed the Christmas Party, with one insider saying: “it ‘was a shame’ they didn’t attend.”
The source added: “Not only were Harry and Meghan there, but they went to the staff Christmas party afterwards.
“It was a very jolly affair. It’s a shame that William and Catherine did not turn up.’”
Then Wills and Kate turned down an invite to the Castle of Mey with Harry, Meghan and Charles in June. And while the Cambridges holidayed with Zara and Mike Tindall, Peter and Autumn Phillips and their kids at Balmoral in August, Harry and Meghan were absent.
I would bet that they’re going to put her on further lockdown again to ensure it doesn’t happen again. That’s my thought for now.
Or another article will be released in the UK tabs shortly to reinforce the notion that Meg’s “unannounced” pr stunts aren’t appreciated within the royal family.
Either way, Megs is angling for a fight she can’t win.
“Because the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the stakes, the house takes you.“ Danny Ocean, Ocean’s Eleven
Oh, I definitely think her control-freak tendencies are part of the problem. But after yesterday, you’ve got to wonder what the RF did after those pictures to ensure a repeat doesn’t happen again. Like, did the staff get a reprimand for driving to and arranging that “unannounced” event? Megs didn’t take the underground or a bus to get there, so someone else was responsible for making it happen.
Are we going to get another ten-thousand-yard, dead-eyed, fembot stare next week? Or one that looks even worse?
All of the palace staff Christmas parties will be coming up soon. She doesn’t have that many chances for more “unannounced” visits to possible charities before it’s time to head to Sandringham.
I have to wonder if the Queen, Charles, and William were happy about her unannounced visit. With everything going on and given that recent tit-for-tat escalation that went on this past weekend in the UK papers, I wonder how well her “unannounced” visit was received by other royals in charge.
It looks to me like she is trying to reassert her image–and merching–with that visit. Am wondering if she went to this discussion against the wishes of senior advisers because the focus should have been more on Will & Kate’s visits to the military & their families. Kind of wondering if we’re now going to see another release of stuff this weekend on Megs.
Makes sense. I asked my cards if she was truly pregnant and got a resounding yes, so it’s not a surrogate or fake bump for why the bump keeps looking like that. Also got a money opportunity card at the root, so you may be very right with this one.
Harry did speak at the memorial. He essentially read a speech clearly written by her. He spoke of her commitment to menstrual health. At a memorial for a friend the proceeds of which support a school in Africa. Now here is the real story of MM’s “menstrual health” activism. She gave an interview in VF in September of 2016. She claimed to be working with a group in India on building a school for girls and said she would be going to India in January. The story was a complete fabrication no such project existed. Celebs can spout off whatever and no one takes them seriously but a royal GF is something different so now she was held to account for this “visit”. So first through her pr she claimed it was too dangerous to visit India. But that was also BS so her firm K and C quick arranged attendance at a conference and a quickie visit to an factory that makes reusable menstrual pads. MM got all dressed up in an elaborate sari and got her photo op.
Now about this charity. It was founded by a young woman who subsequently received a Queen’s Young Leadership Award this past year. Yes at a ceremony Meghan attended. And never mentioned this woman whose work she has been taking credit for. The idea was to found enterprises for rural Indian woman. And a market need was menstrual pads because in rural areas there are no stores to buy pads at. Hence the factory.
So Meghan writes a essay that appears in Newsweek Online. She misses the purpose of the charity claims it is about stigma not enterprise. And she never mentions the name of the charity so people can send donations. And her solution to the issue of women not having menstrual pads? The readers of Newsweek – primarily white affluent suburbanites – should discuss menstruation at dinner. Seriously you can finds this joke online.
So there is Meghan Markle’s idea of being charitable. Dress up, photo op, pr stunt and then never do anything about the issue again but brag forever about it. She did the same in Rwanda. Photo op in a lifestyle magazine called Rwanda Glam and never got involved with the issue again.
Piers Morgan has invited Meghan Markle to make-up with him over drinks – despite labelling her a ‘social climber’ for blanking him when she met Prince Harry.
The Good Morning Britain presenter repeated criticism of the Duchess of Sussextoday, claiming she has ‘cut off’ people when she does not need them – or they could endanger her royal reputation.
Yesterday, Piers revealed the pair had been friends but he was ‘ghosted’ by the Suits actress who married Prince Harry in May.
Today, he continued criticism.
He said: ‘She knew I was a journalist when I followed her on Twitter she messaged me saying ‘I’m a big fan’.
‘I feel the pattern with Meghan – whether the ex being chopped of the family or the father whose been chopped – or me on a much smaller level– she called me a friend on Twitter – came to my pub drank my drinks and then… whoosh… gone.
‘She’s a bit of a cut and runner. She’s trying to protect the bigger prize
‘She wants important people. Now she’s best friends with Michelle Obama and the Clooneys.
‘None of the family allowed near her they might damage the brand
‘It was all a bit odd.’
Mr Morgan also said a mutual friend of theirs was encouraged to break off his relationship with the journalist.
Suits cast member, Rick Hoffman – who played Louis Litt – was also friends with Piers but soon stopped talking to him.
Mr Morgan said: ‘It wasn’t painful it was curious. It left be bemused.
‘We’d been corresponding with another guy from suits for a year or so and it’s weird behaviour.
‘Our mutual friend was also told to ghost me
‘He crawled out of the woodwork after the wedding
‘He said ‘I love you pal’.
Piers also invited Meghan to make up with him at his local – the Scarsdale Tavern in Kensington – close to her new home in Kensington Palace.
He said when they met there before she was unknown and asked him for advice with her media career.
He said: ‘Maybe she was on an inexorable charge to the top. I take people as I find them… Meghan is disappointing
‘When I knew her nobody knew who she was – she came to my pub and nobody knew who she was.
‘If she wants to come to my Christmas drinks, come on down.’
Writing for the Daily Mail Morgan said he packed Meghan off in a taxi the night she met Harry.
He wrote: ‘She spoke very candidly about her family – there were some private, sensitive things she told me I would never repeat because they were said in confidence – Donald Trump (she’s not a fan), and of course, Suits.
‘She asked me for advice on her career and the media, and if she could come on Good Morning Britain next time she was over, which I said I would arrange.
‘From the cab, Meghan sent me a series of texts thanking me and saying she was looking forward to meeting up again next time we were in the same city.
‘She even publicly tweeted about how nice it was to see her ‘friend’ – me – in London.
‘So at this point, I was indeed labouring under the massive misapprehension that we were friends.
‘I was wrong.
‘She met Prince Harry at the dinner that night, went on a solo date with him the next night, and I never heard from her again.
For the love of Christ people, Meghan’s dish soap letter was a SCHOOL
ASSIGNMENT! She had to do it. It was homework, not the birth of
feminism. Just another fraud to add to the princess application she
scammed harry and the rest of the world with
The Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance at a meeting of academics in London on Wednesday.
Pregnant Meghan, 37, visited King’s College London in an unannounced engagement, it emerged this evening.
The royal, who is expecting her first child with Prince Harry next spring, joined academics for a round table discussion on how higher education can be used to tackle global issues like human trafficking, modern slavery and gender equality.
The Duchess looked polished yet relaxed in a simple short-sleeved fitted black sweater and kept a pen in hand as she jotted down notes in a notebook.
Meghan’s attendance at the meeting of The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) was not publicised ahead of time, as is the case with the majority of royal engagements.
The event was publicised after the fact when Laura Hammond, professor of development studies at SOAS University London, tweeted: ‘We had an excellent discussion about how research can tackle the problems of slavery and human trafficking. Thanks to HRH Duchess of Sussex for joining us!’
Her tweet was shared alongside a photo of Meghan, sitting at the head of a table and looking engaged as another attendee spoke.
The ACU said the event was an opportunity to explore how higher education can help build a better world.
Discussions focused on the role of universities in addressing human trafficking and modern slavery, gender equality and inclusion, peace and reconciliation, and climate change and resilience.
The event follows her speech to students at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji in October.
Meghan spoke at the time of her struggle to finance her higher education and her ‘personal feeling of pride and excitement’ when she studied for her degree.
She described the education of women and girls in developing countries as ‘vital’, and called higher education’s impact ‘incredible, impactful and pivotal’.
That looks like a fembot-glazed stare right there. Is she still awake? Her eyes look kind of…dead inside.
Just remember – for any of the blogs out there saying that this is coming from the Cambridges only – or that it’s completely made up, this was in THE TIMES this weekend. And THE TIMES doesn’t print anything royal without approval.
Royal sources say the duchess has been having meetings with a number of organisations and is still finalising which areas to work in and what charities to support as she moves on with her public work.
It is understood that she is particularly keen to support issues where she can work alongside her husband.
Aides hope to make an announcement about her first patronages in the new year, eight months after she joined the Royal Family.
Although it is considered quite a long time to wait before announcing her patronages, it is understood that Meghan wishes to ‘really get to know’ the organisations she wants to work with in order to make a ‘real and lasting’ difference.
I’m not convinced the source in that recent article is originating out of Buckingham Palace. I suspect it’s someone throwing a fit in Nott Cott–cough, Meghan–at this point. We’re seeing a clear tit-for-tat relationship with the recent Mail on Sunday article. Someone is afraid of looking bad, and I don’t think it’s the Cambridges.
The problem I have with Papa Markle “working with Meghan” is that everything ends up worse. And then Samantha chimes in addition to what her father said.
Also, I’d note that the Express storydoes not quote Papa Markle directly. The entire article is through other “sources.”
Same thing with The Sun article. It’s a “friend” of Thomas Markle. They didn’t talk to him directly. And they have the same exact quotes as Express.
So, in this instance, it’s not that Papa Markle and Meghan are working together, it’s that her pr used Meghan as a “friend” of Thomas to voice her complaints. Thomas never spoke to those outlets. If he did, then they would have quoted him directly.
Was Meghan Markle telling the truth, that she first met Harry in May 2016, when Sam Kashner interviewed her, or did Kashner mistake hearing May for July? Evidence points to the former for many reasons, first of all Kashner is an established writer and has contributed to Vanity Fair since 2007, written a book, and has interviewed many A list celebrities. How could he make such an error? He would have taped the interview and May doesn’t sound anything like July in English, French, or German. The interview would also have been proofed and sent for approval to MM before publishing, so surely she would have spotted the error on the first page and asked for it to be corrected? Apparently the copy went to press at the beginning of August when Kashner said they had been in contact (alluding to her being somewhere with poor reception), and had interviewed her in June in Toronto.
Why didn’t Vanity Fair change the ‘error’ immediately, instead of changing it weeks later?
Coincidentally, the former Editor-in-Chief, Graydon Carter chose to step down the day after publication on 7 September 2016, therefore, he couldn’t be reprimanded for publishing an interview that didn’t seem to have the approval of Buckingham Palace who made no comment. Carter had been wanting to leave for a while, but why choose that particular day, and no successor had been chosen either?
The online interview differs from the published version slightly, the all important ‘when did they meet’ date and place. Read for yourself the two versions:
The original copy, printed in Vanity Fair stating the couple met in May 2016 and at an Invictus Games event
Kashner assumed when the Invictus Games was mentioned, that it was the actual games itself in the USA (8-12 May 2016), however, a few days earlier Harry had arrived in Toronto 1 May to launch the games there the following year and left on 3 May for the USA. Justin Trudeau was the host, and they participated in various PR activities to promote the games on 2 May, including a private dinner that evening. The chef was believed to be Cory Vitiello, the live in partner of MM at the time. This, in Markle’s own words is when she first met Harry, when she was in a relationship with Vitiello, and attended the dinner as Vitiello’s girlfriend. No one has denied that the dinner took place.
If they had met on a blind date, as she claimed later on in the engagement interview several months later in November, then why didn’t she mention this in the interview, and surely Kashner is competent to know the difference between the words, ‘blind date’ and ‘we met at an Invictus Games event’?
The online version changes the date from May to July, and makes no mention of the Invictus Games, but a vague met ‘through friends’ line.
So why is this important? Maybe Kashner did a bad job of the interview, but someone who has studied writing and was the first student at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in the 1970s would not make such a mistake, and of course he would have recorded the interview as well. Changing the date makes him look inept, implying he made a mistake and I think that is unfair on Kashner. Having interviewed people myself, you take notes, and record interviews and you don’t make mistakes such as dates, when a month is mentioned. If someone mentions a blind date, the subsequent questions would be, ‘Who set you up?’, yet none of this was mentioned, perhaps because MM had not come up with the back story of a blind date, and has since insisted that the person cannot be named for privacy reasons, even thought she has documented everything she has done and said on social media until she deleted the accounts in 2017 and early on in 2018.
In Markle’s own words again during the engagement interview in November 2017, when asked when did they meet, she replied, ” A year and a half, two maybe or a little more…” which indicates that they met between November 2015 and May 2016. Harry’s reply was a curt eighteen months, as even he can work out that they didn’t know each other in November 2015! As she was photographed on holiday with Vitiello in Tulum, Mexico and left on 1 May 2016, in time for them to return for when Harry arrived to promote the Invictus Games, it’s likely that they met on 2 May in Toronto when the private dinner took place.
Some may still say why does this matter? Well, it’s called lying and cheating, because MM was living with Vitiello and it doesn’t look good for either side. Harry because he will look like a cad for dating someone who was living with someone, and MM will look bad because she dumped her lover for Harry more or less as soon as she met him, but didn’t tell Vitiello that the relationship was over.
You may ask why couldn’t they say they met in June? A bit too soon after meeting perhaps, and they needed a gap, but then the phrase they had been dating for a year also wouldn’t add up. Kashner interviewed MM in June 2017 and wrote the copy that same month, so if she had said July he would have written ‘nearly a year,’ or ‘just under a year’ and not ‘year long relationship’ as magazines are prepared (monthly) three months in advance.
If they had met on a blind date in July, then it could only have been on 3 July as MM left the UK on 5 July. Harry was in France carrying out an engagement on 1 July, and MM’s former agent (Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne) said she had lunch with her the day she said she had a blind date with Harry that evening and MM was at Ralph Lauren lunch on 4 July.
However, why did Vanity Fair change that sentence? Were they asked to do so, and if so why? Can you honestly believe an established writer such as Kashner could make such an error? Did Markle really say July and not May and that Kashner couldn’t distinguish between the two, or that he misheard that words, ‘met through friends’ and heard, ‘met at an Invictus Games event,’ credible? I for I don’t buy that Kashner is incompetent as to get a date and information that was so important wrong.
THE CHANGE TO THE ONLINE VERSION, AFTER THE MAGAZINE WAS PRINTED
Why has no one ever come out and said they set up a blind date? Maybe because they never was one.
Why would anyone set someone up on a blind date when they have ended a relationship through choice? MM told Piers Morgan when they met in late June 2016 that she had become newly single, and had several phones on her that she was juggling. Why would that person (if there is one) want to remain anonymous, I mean what is there to be ashamed of?
What is the truth? There have been so many lies, and how can a couple not know the day or month they met, or how long they had known each other unless they were trying to cover something up?
It looks like Markle did tell the truth in so far as when they met to Kashner, but perhaps later realized it wouldn’t make either her or Harry look like respectable and upstanding citizens with integrity, and image is important to both, wanting to appear inspirational to the masses. Their obvious lies can clearly be seen through, although some will choose not to see them or are blind to them through naivety. I mean, they can hardly say in the engagement interview they met at a dinner party where her live in lover was the chef, and look like decent and honest human beings. While these things do happen, people do value honesty, loyalty, and integrity and expect it from those in the public eye, especially those who court the media. Some may say well Charles was unfaithful, but that was something that was occurred over a number of years and not a matter of weeks or days as it appears to be the case here.
Why did Vanity Fair change the sentence? Were they coerced, or asked to by Buckingham Palace? Is Kashner made to look incompetent, in order for Harry not to look like a cad? Even so, no one can deny that MM and Vitiello were on holiday together at the end of April and the beginning of May 2016 with the numerous photos they shared on social media. However, Vitiello’s mother claims the couple split up three months before MM met Harry, which would mean either the relationship ended in February (if you believe the May meeting) or April if you believe the July version of the tale. If she had split up with Vitiello, then she didn’t have to go on holiday with him. His mother also said she spent Christmas 2015 with them in Toronto, but judging by the Instagram post MM made she was in LA and didn’t want to leave, maybe another one that was Markled?
The problem is when you tell a lie and get others to try and back you up, dates don’t always tally. Social media can place people precisely and others repost and you can’t control that. Perhaps that’s why the social media accounts and The Tig were deleted hastily, and no one bought the old chestnut it’s because of MM’s impending status at the time. In April 2017 she was barely mentioned as a girlfriend, and had no status.
Doesn’t look she went on a blind date that nightNo date on July 2nd?
There are several parties that can confirm the truth, and one wonders why everyone is so cagey about when and where they met? It was also apparent during the engagement interview, Harry’s response was reserved and one could even say it was rehearsed. They know the truth, and a few others do, but why the big secret? Even Cory Vitiello won’t confirm when the relationship ended, and what purpose would that serve by keeping it a secret? All he would say is to let the ‘public forum debate that,’ which I take to mean, let everyone work out the dates themselves. Jessica and Ben Mulroney, Justin and Sophie Trudeau, Harry’s aides and close protection are likely to know the truth, but people don’t like being lied to.
Is this what Harry and MM have stooped to in order to try and create a perfect reputation and image for themselves? The sad fact is that people have done the calculations and the dates don’t match up, along with the trip to Botswana where Harry said they spent 5 days together and her birthday there. Toronto/NYC to Botswana is a 25-40 hour flight, and the return flight takes 26- 50 hours.
Her birthday is on 4 August and Lindsay Roth’s wedding was on 6 August where MM had lunch with her before the wedding. All flights from Botswana to New York are overnight flights, so she would have arrived one or two days later. Therefore, either she cut it fine and left the morning of the 5 August and made it back to New York on the morning of 6 August, or she left on her birthday to make sure she got back in time for her best friend’s wedding. While barely feasible, the timings don’t include getting to and from the airport, and delays, and for a wedding it would have been too much of a risk for the plane to be delayed.
The bottom line is that MM didn’t want to look like she had been unfaithful, but it appears she dumped Vitiello within days of meeting Harry, and was away pitching for a project days later in May in New York. As much as the press have tried to cover it up, and have pushed the blind date story with a July date because that’s the only time the two were in the same country at the same time, people don’t believe it. There are too many holes in the story, and people tend to mistrust those who lie and deceive. Those who remain quiet enable the lie, and is that what Vanity Fair has done?
You had predicted November is gonna be make or break for them, and we are seeing that. With dm’s headlines on jihadi john and 19 other terrorist links to megsy’s first charity endeavour, it is BAD. And now they have been exiled to frogmore cottage (not frogmore house). The pics of that cottage on DM are depressing to say the least! 2/3 (there’s a third part too, sorry)
I don’t know how December will go for harkles, but you have also predicted “happenings” for Jan Feb! I do not believe in annulment theory, especially now with the kid but i cannot be more excited for next year!! Pleaseeee do continue to post some more dates to look forward to. So yes, very well done!!! The fun has finally begin! 3/3
I don’t have a whole lot of time right now, but here’s what I can give you for now.
1. I don’t have anything more to say about the baby. I feel like I’ve pretty much said what I wanted to say here and here.
2. I feel bad for the ladies of the community kitchen; they don’t deserve such associations, but there’s not much that can be done from a public relations perspective at this moment.
3. The last glimmers of love and light in Harry’s mind about this marriage will go away at the beginning of the new year, like January 1st-ish. Like, go away as in extinguished in his mind. No more happiness that was there previously.
4. I’m sure Megs will think things are going better for her than Harry thinks they’re going for him, even if there’s huge amounts of discord. Her ego trip will still be in action until March 2019.
5. Sadly, the possibility of Prince Philip passing away could be happening between February 22 and April 22. Or maybe it’s probably. Haven’t looked that deeply at it, but I know that it’s possible.
6. Spring is going to be a sucky time in the UK next year, including Brexit.
7. (And this is going to be the longest part.) You know, once Harry & Megs announced they were pregnant, I started doubting that an annulment would be a possibility because even if the baby didn’t make it to term, I didn’t think the BRF would try that because it would be a public relations nightmare. Until the last couple of weeks when things started imploding bigger than I expected. And I think you have to take all the upcoming Brexit drama into that. The UK is running a difficult dasha (timing sequence) from January 2018 to the beginning of December 2020, so the mood in the country–economically, politically, socially–probably isn’t going to get drastically better until the end of 2020.
The other parts to consider would be a) Meghan’s tax situation. It’s not about her not filing her taxes or the IRS auditing her. It’s about having the UK’s head of state having one of her family members send financial paperwork–that they desperately try to keep private–to another country. It reveals some of the inner workings of the monarchy to people who aren’t part of that monarchy. When I start googling information about divorce in the UK–aside from the things I’ve already posted–one thing that becomes clear to me is that any divorce between these two idiots (aka Harry and Megs) will not be resolved quickly. It can take up to 12 months for the final decree to be issued. Also, they wouldn’t be able to file for divorce until May 20, 2019, so if the BRF needs to drop a hot potato ASAP, then they’ll have to find another way. And the IRS will consider these two dunderheads married until it has been finalized. So if no final decree has been issued by 31 December 2019 but instead on 02 January 2020, then the BRF will still have to help Meghan with her taxes for the 2019 tax year because they’re still married at the end of the year. And I would bet that they would not want to send another year’s worth of BRF financial information to the IRS.
And b) Harry and Megs being put out to pasture at Frogmore COTTAGE at Windsor. It’s not even a rumor but published on official letterhead. Like, what is so bad right now that they need to forgo any of the–surely–easier and closer options such as St. James Palace or Buckingham Palace? Moving to Windsor instead as “senior royals”?? Like, what is SO BAD that Harry and Megs canNOT stay in London? And that move right there tells you that the BRF is done with them, and that normal things such as all the polite, patty-cake games are over with. They are a political and public relations liability. And it will probably get worse next spring, not better.
8. Still waiting for the current Mercury retrograde period to finish next week. I’m still wondering–after all the articles and things that have already happened–if there is going to be an even bigger finish to it or not.
She’s just doing that because she thinks it will work in her favor when things hit the fan. It won’t work though. Her and this marriage have too many things against it rather than for it for them to choose her side and favour her in the end. Unless you hold some real power with press and media attention (which Meghan doesn’t since majority of all her press is orchestrated and manufactured, not authetic like for example Catherine’s), flattery doesn’t work Meg. Sorry.
Yeah, I still think she was only about 10 weeks when they announced. I don’t think she was fully 12 weeks when they announced. Megs does whatever she wants when it suits her.
Hm. Perhaps it’s the possibility of it being revoked easier? I don’t really get it either. But there have always been visa issues around her ever since the engagement was announced.
Christmas at Sandringham is for members of the royal family and the Queen’s relatives. Meghan wasn’t even officially a royal last year, and her being there was considered too early by many people. Kate spent her last Christmas before her wedding–but after her engagement–with her family. If Megs missed her mom that much, then she should have had Christmas with her mom in LA instead. Instead, Megs wanted the photo ops of being with the royals as soon as possible.
The Middletons don’t attend Sandringham at Christmas, and their eldest grandchild–George–will be king one day. So Doria attending Sandringham at any Christmas is out of the question.
I’m sure Megs wants it to look like she’s close to her mom, but there aren’t any opportunities for her to pull that stunt again, like she did with the cookbook. Megs isn’t going to be given any future engagements where she can bring her mom along. The UK media isn’t going to publish pap pictures of the two out for a walk together due to pressure from the royal family. So she’s got Sandringham left as her only option, and we can all bet that the Queen is going to say no on that one.
I suspect Megs is working the refs (Queen, Philip & Charles) to get them to allow her mother to be there. I don’t believe Doria is going to be there. I suspect Doria probably doesn’t want to be there either. But Megs feels she has to keep her names in the headlines, and she had her first Christmas at Sandringham last year with her poo emoji hat. She’s running out of things that will create headlines since she’s burned through all the “firsts” already.
I’d be very surprised if it did happen though. Like, the only way to prove it would be if Doria attended church with the family on Christmas Day, and I can’t see that happening.
LOL. I’m not surprised. Nothing is Meghan’s fault in Lainey’s world except for bellycupping.
Nothing is ever Meghan’s fault. It’s just everyone else that is fighting. LOL! She’s just trying to get her mom to visit her at Sandringham this Christmas. *eyeroll*
After reading that, I’m practically convinced that there will be a new article about Meg’s behind-the-scenes behavior that will drop this weekend. It’s almost as if they’re planning on it with the “victim” angle of competing courts. Somehow, this didn’t really happen when Andrew married Fergie with the “competing courts” claim, of course, because it’s not true.
Harry’s court isn’t going to be so “senior” given that he can’t get his wife to walk without clutching her barely-there bump. They’re getting sentenced to “Siberia,” which Lainey didn’t even comment on. Can’t say I’m surprised about that because Lainey didn’t cover the royal Remembrance outings this past weekend. She can’t write glowing words about Megs not being on the balcony together with the future queens, or sitting next to the curtains at the concert. I thought that Lainey not doing a write-up about that at the beginning of the week was a glaring omission. And not an accidental one.
This is Royal-Tea from one of our Meghan Markle “The Charlatan Duchess” closed FB group! Pull up a chair and enjoy✌🏻

Well, it seems MM has had her official royal smackdown, in case there is any doubt. And she was quite pissy about it. In fact, she took it out on her assistant “Melissa.”
According to my source, MM & PH had a meeting w/ advisors who told them QE was not happy w/ the shenanigans on their tour. Immediately, MM puckered up into a pout—the actress that she is—- and gave them her best “I tried so hard, and being preggers and all I did my best….”. With tears streaming down her face.
The thing is—-MM doesn’t get she ain’t in America anymore. Rumor has it PH didn’t buy into her tears and told her to stop. MM thinks she can turn on the waterworks and all will be forgiven. “She does not understand,” my source said, “That she may have manipulated PH to get married, but the Queen won’t let her run roughshod over the Monarchy.”
Later, after the advisors informed MM that she would have little to no engagements in the coming months, she then blamed Melissa saying, “Mel is against me! She wants me to fail! She’s a f*cking spy!!” This outburst supposedly happened right after the advisors left and MM had to blame someone.
Well, gossip travels quicker than the speed of light in the palace and by the time it got back to Melissa she told PH she was leaving. Now, this can’t be confirmed but rumors are PH begged her to stay but she told him: “For the sake of your grandparents and the United Kingdom– open up your eyes. She’s a monster.”
I also know MM was livid at the seating arrangements, per my source. I have been out of the loop in the last week, so my apologies. Usually, I have read up on MM daily…from what I can tell the seating at the “Festival of Remembrance,” and then her balcony position.
According to my source, “MM got a dose of reality when the Queen banished her off to the side. She browbeat Harry to change the seating and her balcony position, saying, “It’s a public slap in my face!” PH didn’t respond.
Rumors are she has been in meltdown mode screaming about how this is not what she “signed up for.” MM got really angry when the story about the Queen and her tiara (wedding) hit this past week. Why? Well, even the popular fashion American magazine “Cosmopolitan” ran the story. (Usually a pro-Meg magazine)
My source says, “MM knew the PR tide was turning when one of her old go-to sources, Cosmo, ran the embarrassing story about the Queen and the ‘Tiara Debacle’ which also indicates the palace PR game is ramping up. MM knows this game all too well, this is war.”
Now, MM feels unwanted and not appreciated. She is being taken out of the limelight she craves more than anything. She flippantly told aides, “I’m like Rapunzel locked in the tower.”
Palace aides say it’s really sinking in now that this entire fairytale she thought she wanted—to be one of the most famous people in the world—isn’t turning out how she thought it would. She is American, and a narcissist— and so she has no love of the United Kingdom, hell, she isn’t even a patriotic American. So she doesn’t appreciate the UK’s solemn days.
That’s what is upsetting so many in the palace. It’s not that she is an American, because I am an American and can appreciate solemn days if they are explained to me. She doesn’t care to understand why these days are important to her adopted country –one she is supposed to be representing.
When she learned she was not next to the Queen like Kate at these events, rumor has it she whined, “I guess the American isn’t good enough,” laughing sarcastically….pretending it was a joke.
In a People Magazine article titled, “Why Meghan Markle Didn’t Stand with the Queen, Kate and Camilla at Remembrance Ceremony”—-is a big MM leaked story, where is trying to save face.
Notice the line in that People article that says, “A palace source said that Meghan’s balcony position ‘would have come from her.[Meghan] There’s no one laying this out, telling her where to stand.”’ (OH PLEASE)
She just can’t stand to not be in control—MM must broadcast “I’m in control!!” When it’s apparent she isn’t making these decisions!! If you’re shaking your head, you are not ALONE!!
Lastly, I have no pregnancy intel. My source says MM is giving push-back about having royal doctors. Don’t know if that is true or not…..One last tidbit: PH is said to have had a “heart to heart” w/ William. An unconfirmed source says they talked for hours— “PH asked for marital advice.” Which some are saying PH now sees this marriage may not last and is really depressed….don’t know how true that is, but the bloom of lust is over. That’s for sure.
