After watching that bellycupping video, I’ve realized we haven’t been giving her enough credit. Girl does have talent. She has to have some to be able to do her criss-cross-2 cats in a bag walk, while arching her back into an unnatural position, pushing her stomach muscles out as hard as can be without passing wind, belly cupping, and posing all while walking in stilettos.

When you consider that most belly cupping is either done standing or in the final months/trimester of the pregnancy, then you realize that video really is something else.

Meghan is making excuses. She was never scheduled for the Zambia tour. My friend works in the foreign office and the Zambia visit was always a solo venture for Harry. Scheduled months ago. If it appears in The Express it is her pr. She is trying to save face. And she did not cancel engagements in AUS she was never scheduled to go to the forest with Harry. Check the itinerary. She is being sidelined and so she is trying to spin it. She was a disaster on the Oceana tour.

Oop..tea!

I’m not sure if you got my ask. I mentioned a USA Today video that’s on youtube. It’s about PH/M in NZ, titled “Duchess Meghan holds her baby bump during royal tour”. It’s one thing to see pictures, but it’s another to see it in action. I don’t know. Something about that video is truly disturbing. Like it’s straight out of a messiah-horror-apocalyptic movie scene. Or, like watching a woman slowly descend into madness, and she’s not interested in receiving help.

talkingtarot:

I saw. It was sooooo cringy to watch. I can’t believe that’s a duchess out there behaving like that. 

And for those who still haven’t seen it, here it is again:

The USA Today thing is in a video as part of the story.

But which story? I still haven’t been able to find it.

Anyway, here’s a video of Megs bellycupping–specifically, the mons pubis bellycupping–in New Zealand. It looks even more ridiculous in action than single photos.

Who freaking walks like that?  She is Angelina Jolie batshit crazy 

Really how is it that no one else other than this tumblr community thinks the belly cupping is weird.

Hi Brat, is this what you’re looking for?

Here’s the video from USA Today referring to the bump as an accessory. It starts at :11. Thank you!

‘Meghan Markle’s best friend reportedly coming along on Royal tour’

https://www.usatoday.com/videos/life/people/2018/10/15/meghan-markles-best-friend-reportedly-coming-along-royal-tour/38161497/

@houseofbrat

Yeah, that was the one. Thanks @hunnymae !

USA Today in a report on the Oceania tour referred to MM’s baby bump as an “accessory” she brought along. Ouch. This is the consequence of being a publicity hound everything you do is seen as a pr stunt. Says a lot about the media’s perception of MM and this is US press. Meghan won’t be happy with that. The tiara and staff leaving stories IMO signaled to the press they can go after MM now and start saying what they think. The RF won’t protect her.

I tried looking for that USA Today article and couldn’t find it. 

But yeah, the tiara story isn’t a good indicator for her press articles. I’m still wondering if something is going to drop this weekend since Melissa the PA left.

A love your tumblr btw. Anyways, I do agree with that anon, I betcha Australia was the real test. It was long enough to evaluate day to day faux pas as opposed to just one day of faux pas. What, with the temper tantrum over the tiara, her inappropriate wardrobe, mauling Harry in public, her lack of decorum and even her inability to curtsy appropriately down under this tour was a huge test. Not to mention of course announcing the pregnancy at the beginning (calculating).

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Fair point. 

The tour is kind of funny in a way. The schedule actually looked great (Invictus, Commonwealth Canopy, scholarships, aboriginal schools, etc…) and the Irish tour was decent, so the royals were probably shocked out of their minds when it turned into a belly-cupping self-promo fest. I mean, they were literally told about the pregnancy THE DAY BEFORE.

I don’t doubt that Meghan had tiara tantrums that are legends of staff gossip (would be relayed up and down the chain of command involving several staff members) But I think the Siberia banishment is because the public pregnancy announcement was M’s initiative and not approved. Tour was a genuine gift to the gruesome twosome to allow them to establish themselves as commonwealth ambassadors and they made a mockery of it. Cancelling market thing while smirking all the time-major NO NO.

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Good point. It probably was a combination of things. We’ve all been watching Harry and Meghan’s ongoing Hollywood-ization of the brf with open-mouthed horror, wondering how they were being allowed to do all this. I’m glad that someone finally put their foot down.

The tour really was beyond the pale. They were supposed to represent the country and the royal family, while promoting royal initiatives like Invictus, the scholarship program, and the Commonwealth canopy, and instead they promoted themselves and their bump. 

I think Harry merched one of shirts he wore on the tour because MM Mirror got details and suspiciously MM wore a shirt from the exact same brand on the exact same day. The two other times MM Mirror got details on Harry’s clothes was when he wore that William-blue Everlane sweater and the olive Club Monaco coat. I think they hoped for him to merch more because MM Mirror set up a Dress like a Duke site around February/March and their twitter is empty

anonymoushouseplantfan:

He’s definitely merching. 

Now i wonder if we’ll get a big story on Meg’s alleged diva behavior while down under. After all this time i get the gut feeling that the tearing down of her do- gooder, humble facade has finally commenced. “What Meghan wants, she gets!” now this. I don’t think it’s a coincidence… this women has a secret enemy somewhere in the palace and all the while she’s been sashaying about, gloating, barking demands, and thinking she’s untouchable; they have been sitting back and collecting receipts.

talkingtarot:

Yep. I saw it in my readings, too. When you do clownery, the clown comes back to BITE.

I’m waiting on the painted hands on the belly photos to be posted on the oh so private I don’t announce on social media nor do I like attention couple.

Hello world, lovely to meet you. I’ll be your Opinioniste in this little corner, badly shuffling my tarot cards and taking several hours to do your readings. I will be taking full responsibility for opinions, and zero responsibility for what the cards say.

Starting this engine off with the British Royal Family, because we all love a good soap opera, and I’ve been tuning in just as things are getting interesting.

Oh, and did I mention I’m new at this tarot thing? Let’s proceed and see what my mouth or the cards have to say…

Opi xx

What did Queen Elizabeth II think of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tour?

I’d be a little on the heavy-footed side to catch that return flight home, because dear old Gran is not looking happy and trouble is brewing (The Empress Rx, The Lovers Rx).

She has been watching the past couple weeks unfold and feels there is a need to clean up after a mess (Five of Swords) that could negatively impact how her family is viewed, which she feels she needs to protect against (Seven of Wands).

This is largely due to Harry’s impulsive rush into projecting the image of ‘happily married family man’, when he is still need of growth and maturity as an individual (Knight of Swords Rx). What this came off as was a one-sided charity, or public honeymoon tour, where Harry could parade the flag of his newfound adulthood, rather than serve the diplomatic purpose (Six of Pentacles Rx, The Fool Rx).

While she does want to avoid conflict upon their return and stay focused on getting the family image back in good shape (Five of Wands Rx), it will be extremely difficult for her to avoid speaking sharply against them and the bad press she feels they have created (Page of Swords Rx, The Tower Rx).

Hi readers! So exciting to share, we officially have another member of the #tumblrtarotcrew! Welcome, @opinioniste to the group! Check out her blog and the readings, I’m sure you will enjoy them.

royal-confessions:

“Kate never let anything get in the way of a official visit abroad. She performed well and showed up to all planned activities being sure not to disappoint. Meghan just does not get it. This trip has been planned well before her pregnancy, maybe she should have planned around it instead of allowing it to take over the visit.” – Submitted by Anonymous

royal-confessions:

“I’m so sick and tired of hearing about Meghan and Harry’s tour of Australia. When William and Kate did their first few tours, people were more focused on what engagments they were doing and what causes they were supporting. With Meghan and Harry it’s a circus, with people only focusing on the fact that she’s pregnant, rather than the Invictus Games which is super important to honor veterans who fought for our freedoms.“ – Submitted by Anonymous

Her behavior behind the scenes on this was deplorable friends witnessed it at Admiralty House. They act like ice with each other. He cannot delude himself that she is ever going to adapt she willfully was abusive with people when the cameras turned off. MM is a very nasty woman.

talkingtarot:

I could see this. When I did my first (and subsequently only) post on the tour, I said in my reading, they were either at or going to get the point regarding this tour, where they weren’t even speaking to each other and the marriage was either rocky or their relationship with the BRF was. And I’ve always said, even in July, that her hormones/mood fluncatiations are insane for this pregnancy (Knight of Cups Rx – specific card I think). So I could see that being true. Dang, (if this is true) another point for TT. Her behavior might come out too considering in my most recent posts I keep getting a spy in their camp who is going to release info on them (Three of Cups Rx if your asking which card specifically I think). Getcha teacups ready.

Meghan’s £118K royal tour wardrobe!

ladygreyhound93:

Meghan’s £118K royal tour wardrobe! How designer labels and bespoke clothing to accommodate her bump pushed the Duchess’ 41 outfits beyond the value of what Kate wears in a YEAR

  • Meghan’s 16-day royal tour is finally coming to an end, 41 outfit changes later
  • Has sported high end labels such as Jason Wu, Givenchy and Brandon Maxwell
  • Many items have been adjusted or made specially because of her pregnancy
  • The value of Meghan’s tour wardrobe exceeds Kate’s new outfits for 2017 

ATTENTION IRS 

Meghan’s £118K royal tour wardrobe!

In NZ Harry looks miserable AF. He can’t keep the smile and happy-face going when he’s not supposed to, unlike Megs who grins 24/7. I don’t know if it’s the tour that’s exhausted him, or the prospect of going back home. Anyway, in NZ there are many more pictures of him looking downcast. I agree with you, I think she’s pregnant, but not as far along as she claims. Her thirst will want to keep her in the press, cupping her belly for 8 months and not 5. This will be the longest pregnancy in history

I remember noticing the disparity between their attitudes back in Fiji with these photos:

image
image

Harry has got his serious face on along with everyone else except his wife, who has her smug face on. 

Perhaps the UK tabs will use Harry’s downcast, NZ photos for some of their tour articles whenever they start discussing her (and their?) behavior behind the scenes on the tour.

image

from what I heard she is contemptuous and that was especially insulting in Fiji and Tonga. People from AUS said she has a filthy mouth is often swearing. Refuses to do appearances unless all her demands met. Leaves staff in tears. Harry often apologizing for her behavior and telling her to shut up. He appears afraid they said of what she might do next. Person I spoke with said she cannot imagine what this marriage is like as they are cold between them.

I don’t think the media is ready to out her yet. Little drips now but not a big torrent yet. They won’t do it while she is pregnant. I still see a divorce on schedule for this summer. And people who saw her in person are skeptical about pregnancy. Person who I spoke with said she does not see how their marriage can recover the tension/coldness she saw between them when the cameras and media go away.




Insulting Fijians and Tongans is probably one of the worst things in my book. I mean, how hard can it be when they literally rolled out a royal welcome. And how hard is it to be nice to her own staff? No wonder there was a visible tag on her dress in Tonga and other wrinkled outfits. Plus, no one can forget her leaving the Fijian market after a whopping SIX MINUTES. She truly doesn’t want to mingle with or show respect to regular people. Ugh.

I can understand the skeptical attitude about her pregnancy. I just figure that she lied about how far along she was when it was announced. Those two lied about a lot of things in their engagement interview. It wouldn’t surprise me if she is still in the first trimester right now. 

Still, fingers crossed for some decent drips to come out soon…

What a shame

Wtf

@keepingupwiththebananadrama lol according to the DM experts say its “optical illusion”

I saw that bullshit and it read like Rachel sent them word for word she wanted said. Givenchy added an optical illusion that looks like you’re wearing underwear? Fantastic, how nice of them to know she doesnt like wearing underwear.

not the belly cupping although in person she is excessively thin so that raises eyebrows. It is her arrogance her rudeness mistreatment of people filthy mouth. Demands. Nature of the interaction between Harry and her. Seen as insulting to people’s intelligence to impose what is clearly something very wrong something very off. That has caused great offense. This is very serious now. To me not surprising.

Oh really??? Geez, that’s even worse than I thought, I mean, in terms of her behavior such as mistreating people. I can imagine her doing it, but I think even then if I read some of the specifics I’d probably be more appalled than I can imagine at this moment. 

I’m not surprised about the thinness though. When looking at pictures of her, I always try to remember that the camera visually adds 10 pounds to a person in a photograph. She’s pregnant and still looks very slim. I don’t doubt she’s pregnant since, as Houseplant said, her belly would be more consistently shaped for each appearance if she was wearing a prosthetic. I do, however, doubt she’s as far along as she said she was when they announced it. 

I only hope at this point that either some British tabloid or newspaper amongst the Commonwealth countries that were visited is willing to publish an article or two describing her truly, truly outrageous behavior.

I just watched her Feminist speech on BBC FB, she said a Maori greeting & the audience slowly gave their approval. It was funny to see her reaction because she was nervous & as Indigenous ppl, we have this way showing a sarcastic but still friendly expression (can’t type the sound lol) With that said she actually sound intelligent BUT then the cupping, hanging onto Harry & any credit goes out the window. 🙄🤦‍♀️ what’s Interesting is the comments which are usually sugary have turned. 🤭😂

I haven’t watched all of that speech. I’ve only seen clips. I’m sure that speech was mostly written by staff. Her delivering a pre-set text should be easy for her because it was basically her job. Unfortunately those clips I saw didn’t show the audience. 

I’m so glad this tour is over with today because these two suck at their jobs. Royally.

confessionsbritishroyals:

There is a reason royals don’t show PDA (along with them being old
school and private about there lives) it draws attention away from the
work. Every headline on this tour is about them touching each other or
lovingly looking into each other’s eyes. What is a dubbo, what is there
plight, what’s happening with there people. I don’t know because of
BANANA BREAD. Your job is not to be cute. It’s to bring attention to
things so people can help/support those issues. Your constant touching
and cuddling under umbrellas is not modernizing the family or bringing
them into the 21st century, it’s DISTRACTING! They need tot stop acting
like teenagers in there first relationship and grow up. Your marriage is
also a job it time you start doing it. Maybe if you would have stopped
for 10 seconds to think about that before you got married you would have
known it’s not the job you wanted. STEP UP, OR STEP OUT!

I think something was said to PH/MM because when they did an official visit there was no hand holding, or baby cupping, actually a professional visit. But then the last 2 events she cupping the baby like it’s weighing her down and won’t let go of him while he’s trying to hold an umbrella. This woman is really not normal.

These two dunderheads are stupid beyond belief with their manners. There is actually an article about why Megs has her hands in her pockets.

image

She’s supposed to be greeting people, yet she keeps her hands in her pockets and makes her husband do all the work of interacting with the plebes. 

Nothing should surprise me with Ms. Markle anymore but tonight’s outfit has well and truly surpassed any and all of my already very low expectations. How on earth is a mini dress (see: long vest) appropriate for any formal occasion, let alone one attended by so-called royalty? And as if the back-arching and hand-grabbing wasn’t enough, we’re also having to endure the very rude act of her putting her hands in her pockets! Far out!!!

I’m old enough to remember when her fans said she would never wear a Hamilton-style miniskirt to an official event. Oops.
