An interview? Hm, that could be a possibility since Megs would probably not see a problem with having a publication republish all her views. Anything so she could sparkle with maximum coverage. Megsy loves her spotlights.
Jessica Mulroney in the land down under? Gee, is she going to show off a new implant or lip fillers? She’s so plastic…
Yeah, um, she could stay in Australia and attend all of the Invictus Games events, but that would mean that Megsy would have to do work. I doubt she wants to do that.
I bet this blind is more about Megsy trying to get her way on something rather than actually being pregnant. It would be nice if people remembered she looked like this 10 days ago (Oct 3):
Rather than this yesterday (Oct 12) where she kept her coat on and tried to look pregnant:
PR anon. I like to try and educate by exposing the game Markle is playing in the hopes that people will see just how pernicious PR is and how manipulated they are. Avoid the divisiveness and denial the political content creates by just using her as the example. It is still an uphill battle. Take the recent spate of articles allegedly about her in People this week. You always see a bunch of thinly disguised adverts for the shit she wears after an engagement. Pt 1
Pt 2 These are ads – she is basically endorsing the brand and gets paid for the use of her name as well as a % of the sales made. People gets a % too. It looks like a story but it is an ad and usually there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the page. You do not see this with Kate BTW. Also, she pumps fake stories like this pregnancy garbage out to maintain anticipation keep the interest up. None of it is true it is just a standard PR technique. MM is a hustler and con artist.
Eh. I agree with Houseplant in that it probably is just a Soho House property.
I see no details to freak out about until there is something more lengthy posted about it instead of a pr ploy to say why Megs isn’t going to talk to Samantha.
Megs has such short-term thinking. She’s only thinking about what she has to say to look good regarding Sam being in the UK.
She doesn’t and can’t think further down the road to when angry mobs are protesting about frivolous spending, like hers. And yet, she thinks she’s some kind of pr genius.
The really interesting part of this article is the location of Doria’s penthouse.
I’m going to drop into conspiracy theory here, so #conspiracywarning. This new pad, which is suspiciously far away from their main home in the Cotswolds is NOT for Doria. Meghan is buying herself a bolthole in the city far away from palace staff. Also, it’s going to end up being a Soho House property.
When you’re not famous and never have paps following you around, but still manage to only get papped in LA. No stalking in London or at Soho house, shame.
Exactly. This is what Meghan is saying through KP using Richard Kay as a mouthpiece. She’s trying to normalize her non-royal mother as part of the royal family for her appearances.
That’s where their relationship is right now. Charles had to step in and save her wedding. The Sam Cohen “pretty pink princess” makeover was a dud. Her family attacked her all summer long and the brf did nothing. The public doesn’t see her as a real royal.
Meghan is pissed and feeling like a victim right now. She thinks she’s the real star and these people should be doing a better job of protecting her and supporting her, and they are most definitely not doing their job. Thanks to their incompetence her “royal” launch wasn’t the success she expected and she spent most of August in a funk.
But she now sees a light at the end of the tunnel. Now that she has Hamilton and the Grenfell names behind her, she’s feeling like Harry and the brf are maybe not as necessary as she thought, and she can do this on her own, as a celeb and not a royal. She’s not ready to break out yet, after all she still needs that US tour under her belt, but there’s definitely a plan B on the works. Her focus from now on will be promoting herself and Doria, and building up her resume for an eventual break with the brf and a return to the US. To that end she needs (i) the US tour, (ii) some kind of self-produced documentary, (iii) a baby.
Nah I think it’s to stop the focus on everything else. The baby rumors are good for her. The bad thing are all of the tarot card readings, the story about her not knowing who to trust, the JM parenting, the who’s next in the markle effect curse. Those are not good. Again I’m confused about why only one pic was taken.
Yeah I’m thinking it’s from the vanity fair pheasant roll out from last year. If it’s from Alexi he did a lot of photoshop including making her look darker than she was at the time of the engagement pics were taken. You I had this weird thought that maybe JM and Rachel agreed to leak it to get the bad press that she was getting yesterday. It wouldn’t benefit jess but it would change the subject from a lot of questionable activities between Rachel and her subjects. Again. Why only one pic?
so lonely Meghan beat goes on. her fav mouth piece (well after Lainey) Tom Sykes tells us the details of her lonely life. I can’t decide if this is a sympathy ploy or a reason for the divorce prep story but her pr sure is pushing it. What do you think?
The difference between having a surrogate carry her baby (because Megs can’t do it) and her merching & pr extravaganza is HUGE. Like, how would they hide it? Megs wouldn’t be pregnant and people would notice. Do you really think she would be able to gain that much weight to convince people she’s pregnant? She’s tiny. If she were truly pregnant, then it would be obvious. Then what are you going to do with the surrogate? Like, no one she knows would notice that she had a baby and doesn’t have it? Like, people wouldn’t possibly talk and then go to the tabloids? This would be a HUGE firestorm in the UK.
Look at that last line there: “Surrogacy contracts aren’t enforced by UK law, even if you’ve signed a deal with your surrogate and have paid for her expenses.” It is NOT a legally enforceable contract. Surrogate is legally able to keep the kid if she wants.
NO WAY would Charles or the Queen give the okay for this to be done. What do you think would happen if the surrogate mother decided she wanted to keep the baby? SCANDAL!! And one that would get maximum visibility.
I don’t think Charles is going to shell out money for a surrogate. Harry is likely not going to pay for it since he depends on his father. The Queen isn’t going to approve of using a surrogate either.
If she really did use a surrogate, then it would pose problems with how to hide it from the press. Because legally in the UK, Megs would not be the mother of the child. It would be a huge scandal for the monarchy if discovered. Charles and the Queen both know this, which is why Charles will never shell money out for it.
I personally don’t think she can bring a baby to term. Could she conceive with the help of some artificial reproductive technology such as IVF? Possibly. Bu I don’t think she would be able to maintain it. Just my opinion. I’m sure she will try for a variety of reasons. I don’t think the surrogacy thing is going to float with the Queen though. Or Charles. The legal reasons in the UK have already been mentioned, and I’m sure that’s why the Queen particularly and Charles would not pay for it.
But yes, she’s definitely nothing without him. She has more to lose than he does if–actually when–this thing unravels. Harry will always be a royal; she will not.
I think there was (and likely there still is) a Soho House “dating list” somewhere and Meghan was a part of it. I doubt they called it “escorting” or anything like that, but it likely ended up being the same thing.
I don’t buy the blind date setup at all. Nina Crowne lifted the lid on that.
Tom Sykes is now claiming that “nobody knows” who Eugenie is in the UK and people are upset that their perfectly normal royal wedding is a “folie de grandeur.” Oh, get real, Tom. Everyone in the UK knows Eugenie. They’ve all seen her grow up, and her fashion fails and vacations have been covered for years. And this is the standard royal wedding that Edward and Mark Phillips got. the brits are used to this crap by now.
I was unsure before, but now I’m certain Sykes is getting his leaks straight from Meghan. I can’t think of anyone else who would pick “no one knows who she is” as the main problem here.
The baby rumors are now swirling. Can’t wait for the Celebitchy article about how Carole helping with George was psychotic neediness on the part of Kate, but Meghan bringing Doria over is perfectly understandable because reasons.
Yeah she’s gonna be on tours with them and everything. They are letting these two get away with things like they were next up for the throne. Karma is a bitch and she shows no mercy.
Well, well, well, even Lainey is now bitching about the “Best Dressed Star” label and acknowledging (for the first time ever!) that the People accolades are all because Meghan and Harry and leaking like crazy to the magazine.
Thanks for bringing that back. I’m getting confused about what happened when, so I tried to put all the Tom Markle articles in order. Boy, this soap opera went on and on.
Like you said, they seemed to be planning a visit after the wedding.
Now, that article came out on May 22nd, AFTER Tom had already talked to the press.
On May 19th Tom talked to TMZ about how much he loved the wedding, how he’d texted Meghan, and how all his relatives should “shut up.” He seemed to be expecting to see the newlyweds soon.
Remember, he had been talking to TMZ throughout the whole wedding. In fact, the whole “heart operation” drama WAS BASED ON HIS CALLS TO TMZ before and after the supposed operation on May 15th and 16th.
At this point he was just talking to TMZ to explain himself. He wasn’t saying anything about Meghan and Harry except that they had texted/spoken the day of the wedding.
On June 5th the DM got pics of him going to the barber looking pretty happy and relaxed.
Then on July 28th, Tom did the “better off dead” interview with the DM, mentioning Diana and explaining that the contact numbers he had for Meghan stopped working.
“Secret” my booty. They’ve leaked that to everyone. At first I thought it was her family making mischief, but the Times account seems semi-official as it quotes aides (that “former aide” sounds like ELF) instead of friends. BP/CH must have laid down the law.
Something weird is going on because why leak the meeting to everyone? It makes more sense to wait until you have a deal and then disclose the reconciliation.
I’m with you. She’s being forced into doing this, it’s not going to go well, and she’s preemptively leaking to position herself as the victim. We’re going to need extra popcorn for this one, guys.
I’m genuinely curious as to why they don’t allow the press near her. The reporters were catching quotes from her before the wedding and all she was saying was “Hi, I’m Meghan” and “It’s amazing.” Is she now talking politics all the time?
