I’m not going to get my expectations up about October at this point. Money laundering is really hard to prove in newspaper articles, particularly since no one can order the royal books open for review, even after what happened with Air Miles Andy.
No idea. Every time I think I know what stupid thing is going to happen next, I learn there’s more stuff. I thought her sex tape and more nudes were going to come out and cause trouble this summer, and instead it was her father.
I’m also not sure that we’ll find out publicly. Perhaps it’s just Harry and the royal family who finds this thing out, and it’s not published at the time…?
Lmao. That’s why when you guys ask for what her secrets about its hard to know for sure because looking for her secrets is like going in a pot and looking for one specific piece of gold, there’s so many of them it’s hard to pin down.
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 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.
Ikr. It’s going to suck when Meghan realizes that she will probably come out of this marriage with less money than she came in with.
This isn’t surprising. Megs doesn’t have anything to negotiate with. The only ally within the RF she currently has is Harry. Once he’s not on her side, she has no one within the royal family as an ally.
She’s not going to give birth to a baby. She’s done a good job demonstrating she doesn’t respect the family or its protocols. She’s not popular within the UK. She has nothing for any lawyer to negotiate with considering the royal family holds all the cards in this situation.
Meghan looks somehow tranquilized and wired at the same time. Talk about magic.
She’s zoned out and trying to compensate for it. I wonder why she hit the Xanax this time. Are we getting another daddy interview this weekend?
Probably. Didn’t he give a 9-hour interview to the Daily Mail back in early August? And they probably haven’t published everything he told them as of yet.
I doubt it was Canadian cops. Wendell can tell a Canadian from a Brit.
Even if it was an RPO, it still means someone from the UK was shelling out money for Megsy to have that level of security, which she certainly did not merit.
They’ll likely try that, but is it believable? I mean, look at the big picture. He flew an actress he’d just met to Botswana on a work trip, then he gave her royal security, then he flew to see her after an official tour, all in the space of a few months. He got away with A LOT.
I’m beginning to wonder if this article will end up opening the door to more articles in Fleet Street exposing money shenanigans, particularly those by Megs and Harry.
Maybe, but I don’t think Wendell would mistake UK secret agents for Canadian private security. He’s an actor. He’s used to having security around.
Cui bono? That is, who benefits? Megsy does NOT benefit from this story.
1) With all her clothes spending, she does not need stories circulating that she got more protection than Kate before Kate became engaged to William. And for an ENTIRE YEAR!
2) Megsy clearly cut Wendell off since he wasn’t at the wedding. More likely, he figures he has nothing to lose in telling stories about her when he worked with her on Suits. And he’s right, he doesn’t really have anything to lose.
I don’t see how they can bury it. It’s apparently an interview he did for Extra so there must be video out there somewhere. You don’t get more legitimate than first person recollection caught on video for a different publisher.
And what are they going to say? That they paid privately for Mi5 to follow Meghan around? Is that even possible? That a US actor mistook private security for Mi5? That’s pretty ridiculous.
Given the timing of this story, I’m beginning to wonder if anything else is just going to fall out of the cracks in the next two weeks.
I don’t know if it was truly MI5, but I have no doubt the security was British. Like AHPF said, “As if a television actor would be impressed by American bodyguards. NBC has tons of them.” Wendell has been working in Hollywood for more than 20 years. He was in Waiting to Exhale with Whitney Houston. And that was back when Whitney was a superstar and hadn’t hit the decline that you saw in the 2000s. Wendell has been around long enough to figure out the difference between bodyguard employments. I have no doubt the security was British and not paid by NBC.
Well, I wasn’t surprised that another interview with Papa Markle was released this past weekend. This week overall is pretty unfavorable, including this upcoming Saturday and Sunday.
I haven’t gotten a chance to read all the recent coverage, but given this article yesterday, I’m now wondering if Papa Markle is going to hit back more with another interview round this weekend. At this point, I suspect the article about Doria moving was just being floated around to see what the reaction was before it actually happens. But I can see Papa Markle being pissed since he’s completely out in the cold at this point.
I wonder if those rumors of Doria being a felon are true. If so, then it could Papa Markle who exposes it by talking about it to the Daily Mail or some other Fleet Street outlet. He could totally talk about it, and then the rest of Fleet Street would have to verify it with legal records. If she really is planning on moving to the UK–and jumping ahead of thousands of other people in the immigration line–then her having a criminal record would be a serious issue I’d imagine.
The “friend” is talking again. The problem is not only her family won’t stfu.
Yep. This is not a good look either. They are all horrible people and the worst part is that they are all horrible IN THE SAME WAY and they don’t seem to realize it. You can tell that they are all related.
Well, regarding the alleged embezzling, I think it’s good to keep in mind that not everything that CDAN publishes is accurate. There are always a lot of people in Hollywood submitting things to that site with various agendas. Those agendas are never held in check or verified by the publisher (CDAN) to ensure accuracy for the readers. There are a LOT of things submitted to that site that seem purely based on fan speculation or a pr rep needing to get a certain rumor out to benefit a certain pr agenda. I do not believe that everything published there should be taken as fact.
That said, I think what some people like to forget is that Harry got in this situation by not listening to what his family likely told him. Harry was dumb, lonely, and desperate to get married. So now he is. He could have waited to get married for another 6 months. If it’s the true love that Harry and Megs fans like to say it is, then there is no reason they couldn’t have had a wedding further down the road. Except they didn’t. And now it probably isn’t going to work out for a bunch of reasons including that Tweedledee and Tweedledum aren’t suitable for a long-term relationship.
Prince Fuck-Up will do what he does best: fuck up.
Let’s always remember that Megs got this far because she had one particular person behind her: Harry.
As long as Harry is behind her, then the palace will be behind her. Once he’s not, then she truly has problems that her pr games will not fix. She doesn’t have the money or the power to take on the palace in the press.
Does anything in their chart say when they would divorce/file annulment? And I agree with you on the oct. thing, a whole bunch of tarot readers have said that that’ll be a bad month for them
I just haven’t gotten around to that one yet, so I guess I’ll combine them since I just posted it above.
But anyway…for me one of the significant things about this shit show is that Harry is in his Rahu-Ketu dasha. That is, he is running the time period of his karmic axis. Those two grahas are not actual planets/graha; they’re chaya graha (shadow planets). The results of a Rahu-Ketu or Ketu-Rahu dasha are said to be unpredictable because you’re susceptible to all sorts of karma from you current and previous lives that need to play out. One of the reasons I was convinced that Tweedledee and Tweedledum would not make it to the altar was a) due to the possible craziness of a Rahu-Ketu dasha, and b) because there is another European royal who was engaged to someone else during a Rahu-Ketu dasha, called off the wedding, ran off across the sea, met someone else, and has had a seemingly happy marriage with children ever since (not counting a planned move to Florida).
So, Harry’s Rahu-Ketu dasha ends this October. Does that mean all of the crazy will go away? Doubtful. As long as Megs is around, Harry will be stuck with her crazy shit, which includes but is certainly not limited to her family. But it wouldn’t surprise me if a large portion of the crazy shit happens between now and then. It is–in a certain sense–his karma for this shit to happen. Doesn’t matter if he likes it or not. It is his karma–whether you see it as good, bad, or just karma.
There is a reason why I wrote a long ass response to this question. And part of the reason for it is…have you seen the divorce requirements in the UK for England and Wales? They’re much more archaic than what exists in the US or specifically California, where Megs is from.
ONE: “If you’ve been married at least a year.” These two suckers have to make it to their one-year anniversary if they want to get a divorce.
TWO: There are five options listed on that government website on grounds for divorce. They are:
Adultery
Unreasonable behavior
Desertion
Separated for more than 2 years
Separated for at least 5 years
There is no “irreconcilable differences” as grounds for divorce like many Americans–including Megs–are used to. Not to mention I love the details listed in the elaboration.
This probably won’t be an option for these nitwits because I don’t think this marriage is going to last that long. I love that there’s a time limit on the adultery as a rationale for divorce though. I don’t think such a thing exists in the US.
Also not going to be a divorce option for them. Megs can’t pull the physical violence card or allude to it like it has been insinuated by her father. She has an RPO. She doesn’t spend all her time with Harry like her diehard fans like to imagine. It would be fucking tough to prove in court because the palace has all the pr and legal power. Same with verbal abuse. Drunkenness or drug-taking could apply equally to them both. Harry has more to lose with that accusation, but then there’s still the palace who would have an army of lawyers that Megs wouldn’t be able to handle. She wouldn’t have the cash to battle them in court. Just not going to happen. Just doesn’t seem like a possibility, even remotely that either of them could file for divorce with “unreasonable behavior” when you’re making kisses in front of photographers at polo games solely to change the conversation from whatever Papa Markle just said to Fleet Street.
Also another unlikely option for these to to file for divorce. Just can’t see it happening.
Ah, yes, legally separated for a few years and then divorced. This is the option the royals go with. Except, can you see the BRF wanting her around when Harry realizes he’s done with her and they have no children? Charles, Anne, and Andrew ALL had children when they divorced. Think of the current shit show going on now with Samantha and Papa Markle complaining about being cut off from Megs and disowned and stating that Megs could end up dead like Diana. It would be much, much worse if the Markles are talking to Fleet Street about how the BRF is mistreating Megs while a separation prior to a divorce happens. The Queen and the rest of the royal family will want to avoid THAT DISASTER. It would be way worse than what is currently going on now. Like, I can’t even imagine those pr disasters and problems. It would be Christmas for Fleet Street every single day of the week!
I think an annulment is a very likely possibility. We’re not in the end game yet, so hard to say for sure. But I think at some point in October, it will likely become obvious to those who aren’t Harry and Meghan fans what way this is going to go.
There’s a lot of different ways one can read that timeline.
Notice that this is not the first time that the palace has tried to reach out to her family and leaked it to the Times. They told Nikka that both of Meghan’s parents would be there for the baptism and neither one showed up. They told the Times that Meghan’s parents would be in the UK two weeks before the wedding so they would have time to meet the royals. Tom never showed up and Doria showed up forty-eight hours before the wedding.
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.
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.
Meghan’s “friend” is back on the DM smacking her dad around.
Dude, this MESS just keeps on getting better and better!
The Meg is too dumb to realize that she is just making this worse.
But, please, Meg, don’t come to your senses just now. Some of us are just going to watch you fuck this pr disaster up for an all-time best new royal disaster.
Post divorce, Harry will be so humiliated- the Dianna charm won’t work on either of them as well. Harry doesn’t have his mother’s squeaky clean image as a buffer and Meghan certainly doesn’t have one before she became a duchess nor is she building one right now (with all the expenses she’s accumulating and the family drama). He’ll become the laughingstock and the butt of jokes and it will be that even Charles and Camilla and the Yorks – not just the Cambridges – would benefit with this all. (2)
Very likely.
Sorry, I missed parts 3 and 4:
Many already believe he won’t have a successful post divorce life either. It’s either he finds a good and strong woman – and they won’t fall for him. Or he finds another Meghan – worse even – and the family won’t help him this time around. Not sure that William would help him either- he has this great focus on what is good for the crown and for the country. Harry has neither. They’d be cutting off the rotten branches for sure, something the RF hasn’t really done before. (3)
As for Meghan, she won’t have any post RF career, unlike Fergie who enjoys something. She may be determined, but she can only do so much if some rich gullible person spoils her. She has burned so many bridges that I highly doubt someone in the future would actually be willing to work with her publicly. I’m willing to bet that when she fails, the next time we’ll see her is as the armcandy of some embarrassing politico who is on the opposite spectrum of what she claims to be. (4)
They seem to think that as long as the guy doesn’t have access his stories aren’t marketable and I’m not sure they are right. Thomas has a garage full of pictures and tons of stories about Meghan’s childhood, career, and relationships that are legitimately newsworthy. Jessica Hay is still selling stories about Kate and she NEVER had access.
This will never end, no matter how much they ghost him.
As long as they don’t share any sensitive details it should be fine. Also, she could leak it first and tell Emily Andrews or Imo that she tried to explain why he couldn’t speak to the press and was careful not to share any private details and she did it with and aide, or whatever.
There are tons of ways to handle this. It’s just that she doesn’t want to talk to him.
And her fans are all fully supportive saying that “no child should be forced to maintain contact” or whatever, but this is the brf. That’s what they don’t seem to understand. You can’t have a rogue family member out there making mischief and overshadowing your every engagement.
And that’s what’s going to happen. Very time she steps out and talks about supporting young girls and women, Sam is going to pipe up and say that the fancy words obviously don’t apply to her own family. Every time she represents the brf at a diplomatic event her brother will bring up her State Department uncle who got her the embassy job and got ghosted too. It’s just going to go on and on.
She also did a previous one on Samantha Markle a few weeks ago, except the audio is terrible. You really have to turn it up and pay attention because you can hear random people talking.
I do think August, September, and October will be significant months though, as she mentions here.
Well, I think August is going to be a shit show for a lot of people, not just Megsy. (I am including Trump and more of his shit continuing, but that’s not really a shocker.) It’s just not a favorable month for things.
We’ve already seen her father, Tom Sr., take it to her via Fleet Street this summer, with increasing sharp words. He does not appear to be backing down. Nor does the palace seem well equipped to turn down the volume on this mess. So, I expect some more fuel for these flames to come out in August.
But if I had to go for a specific time frame in August, then I’d probably go for between August 10 and 23, particularly August 10 through 18.
What that will be exactly…I don’t know if anyone will know for sure until it happens.
That dude is pissed off. Megs always makes things harder for herself. Some of this might never have happened if she treated the people in her life better. Oh well…
Oh, I DO NOT think her family is in on it. Megs would much, much, MUCH rather people be seeing her articles about her fashion and how she’s adjusting to royal life. This Daily Mail story is purely an attempt to put out the fires that her father is causing.
At the very end of the story, the DM repeats what Papa Markle said much earlier: “I was silent for a full year.” That’s a man saying he knows how to be quiet. I suspect that given Megs has hit back in the UK tabs with the heart stuff is fake that Papa Markle is going to hit back with he was never invited to the wedding to begin with. It’s what many people suspected early on.
And then we’ll be treated for another tit-for-tat between the Markles and Megs. It’s just going to go on and on and on. Meanwhile, Harry will eventually not get any press and start getting even more pissy about it. Such a lovely way to start a marriage…
It’s true though! It’s a full blown soap opera now, and it’s not going to stop tomorrow. I have no doubt this is going to go on until the beginning of September, at least.
I honestly think that they have to do something but whatever they do will probably get a backlash. They could issue a statement but that could stoke the fires more. They could try to sit down with the Markle family and ask them what it would take for them to sign an NDA but if they don’t then the family would definitely sell it as a story that they tried to get them to sign an NDA. If they go a legal route then it again could create more attention or could backfire if they don’t win in some way. So yeah. I don’t know what I’d advise at this point but I don’t think they can let it continue as it is right now.
Personally–the way this is going–I wouldn’t be surprised if next week or the week after if Thomas Markle hopped a plane to the London and did an in-the-studio LIVE interview with Piers Morgan.
And more interviews with Fleet Street. In person.
I mean, we can all see which way this thing is going…
Yep, and he had to apologize through the press because they weren’t talking to him. That was the issue.
And they ghosted him AFTER there were a ton of leaks from the palace about how they didn’t blame him for the pictures and they were so concerned about his health and the were going to go see him in Mexico. I bet he thought everything was okay and he had been forgiven and then he realized they weren’t taking his call anymore. That’s when he decided to apologize through the press.
I doubt it’s a coordinated strategy, however. I feel like it’s more that her family knows her and they’ve been in this situations twice before. They know what she’s going to do.
Tom Sykes is on a roll defending Megha’s decision to ghost her dad now.
You know it’s about to ‘go down’ when you’re actually slowly whispering “oh my goood”. Daddy’s got an in with the UK press now. It’s official. The Sun is his UK TMZ.
No response wringed from RoyalMeg or KP out of his Saturday & Sunday exclusives in The Sun, so now the old fox is shooting warning shots with a sharp loaded shotgun! LOL, good heavens. He’s basically going, ‘oh you thought this was embarrassing? Pick up the damned phone or I’ll show you embarrassment.’ He’s really much better at this media game than his daughter.
I mean…, “If I chose in a month, or couple of months, to go to England — I want to see my daughter. I’m thinking about it. I don’t care whether she is p***** off at me or not.”
And, “I still want to meet the Queen. If she’ll meet Donald Trump, why not me? (!OMG!) I’d like to be treated by the royal family like Meghan’s father. I should be regarded with the respect of any other father of the bride.”
Well you go daddy-o! LOL. Dear oh dear…
Here’s to him actually doing it. Can you imagine the brouhaha he’ll cause with Fleet Street chomping at the bit? The poor (literally and figuratively poor!) father, pictured outside of KP gates, not being let in, pouring his heart out to his darling daughter through the press in an attempt to reach her. Fearing she’s being held hostage in there; smothered into silence under a mountain of £€$£€$£€$ bespoke swag. DANG! Do it Thomas Markle Sr. Doooo iiiiiiit!
Thanks for sending this in. It’s turning into quite the soap opera.
It would actually be a big chance for her. She could have a public reconciliation, introduce him to the Queen, and then leak that she’s now talking to him but being very careful about what she says because she knows he’s talking to the press. That would neutralize him.
But it sounds like she’s going to try ignoring him, which will just make him rant and rave. That’s going to look pretty funny when she decides she wants to do charity again and starts going on Heads Together events telling people that “we must all help” the mentally ill and families in crisis and there should be tons of support and no stigma.
They are going to get blamed anyway, by Tom Markle of all people. It’s hilarious because Richard Kay had insiders saying that the staff was desperately trying to get Meghan to make up with her family and she just refused to do so. Now they are getting blamed for it all.
Well, that’s what I don’t get about this sudden “toxic parenting” talk. Tom was supposedly a saint (amply documented in Meghan’s speeches, essays and social media) until early May 2018.
Yep, it’s interesting how they use the language of abuse, but her dad was apparently fantastic to her until the tabs started circling and he got no media guidance from KP.
So, basically now that Mio has stupidly set up a rationale that Megs needs to separate herself from her father, we can probably expect that Tom Sr. is going to come back with everything that he did for his daughter growing up and beyond. Attempted ghosting isn’t going to work this time. Shall we take bets on whether or not Tom Sr. is going to appear on Good Morning Britain? Whether or not Meg’s previous Instagram posts will appear?
Just sayin’…cause this girl gives Fleet Street a lot to work with…
