Many readers responded to our previous challenge about reviving Meghan's image by saying it is simply too late to do so. Meghan needs to leave the Royal Family and return to the US, they said, possibly taking Prince Harry with her.
But so far, Meghan has shown no inclination to do so.
If you were Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Charles, (who is supposedly in charge at the moment), what would you do to encourage her? What type of "exit package" would you offer?
And would Harry and Archificial come along?
We should probably consider the angle that the Sussexes are currently setting up a foundation which seems to be up to no good, and which could damage the reputation of the Royal Family as a whole.

I think Meghan probably believes she can negotiate for more.
There would be no offer of monetary 'compensation' for her. She's already cost the UK taxpayers goodness knows how much (my head hurts just thinking about it).
You're out - no attendance at HM's eventual state funeral besides Harry as grandson. In then out. No attendance at coronation. Some kind family members will be gracious, some will scarf.
Hold out for more? threatened with "exposure" you're out for personal reasons with 0 additional events until Africa. NDAs signed enforced
If HM/ PC have decided enough is enough in their current state, then Africa posting it is. With controlled travel outside the continent (much like the Windsors in the Bahamas).
If the marriage dissolves, I hope they have a strong dossier on MM that is airtight - as she will probably use every trick know to get as much money/ status from the RF. Of course she would loose the HRH - and she would be the DoS until Harry remarries, correct?
Until we know Harry's part in this fiasco, I cannot place blame on MM alone.
If I was queen or Charles, I'd probably offer Megs one public exit strategy, and quite another private one.
The private exit would be backed by MI5's surveillance to ensure she complies. MI5 is most likely already watching and reporting to the queen and Charles, so seamless transition. Included in the private settlement would be that she and Harry may not involve themselves in anything political in any part of the world, even through proxies. And I'd make sure their businesses, no matter what they decide to set up, are stripped of any affiliation to the monarchy, titles, sub titles, along with the term "former" in its names, brands, etc.
I imagine that this subject has come up numerous times in the BRF. Harry must be a terrible disappointment to his grandparents. They have been served up a giant s*it sandwich and now must decide whether to eat it and pretend it is delicious, quietly dispose of it, or make the consequences so unpleasant to the server that younger people thinking about serving up a s*it sandwich of their own will be convinced to do otherwise.
Harry could live quite well on his own money. He wouldn't have polo ponies, valets, or security, attend premiers with the movers and shakers of society, or live in expensive cities, but he wouldn't starve. He does have the option to do what so many other people do every day, get a job, and report to work every day. Those pesky drug tests could be a problem for him, but it certainly isn't his grandmother's problem. I think that grandmother should make it clear that it is not her problem by immediately directing any public funds to be cut off. The family should make it quite clear that he does not represent them in a charity. Weaning time. If Daddy wants to support him out of his personal funds, so be it.
If the BRF do decide to pay out to make the problem go away (in my opinion, they would be guaranteeing that it returns at regular intervals whining about the need for more), perhaps the amount that they offered would be my equivalent of chump change (analogous to the grandparents saying to the grandchildren "Yes, if you do not whine, I will buy you a piece of candy when we leave) and be well worth it to them.
Then there is the Archie problem. Is there in fact a child and, if there is, is it biologically Harry's? The way that Harry scattered his seed about, I would have thought that some would have taken root by now.
Megs is so controlling of Harry that Wills quite rightly believes that anything Harry asks of him originates from Megs. She puts Harry up to things and Harry, like a Stepford Wife, follows her commands. Wills asks Harry if Megs put him up to it and of course, Harry has too much false pride to admit that it wasn't his idea. Wills knows Harry is too stupid to originate a scheme like what ever the request or idea was so of course, Wills says no because he's onto the NPD Megs and won't back down.
Wills and Kate have likely actually studied about and are familiar with mental health disorders, not only from basic college courses like psych. 101, but also from their mental health charity foundations. They meet with shrinks and directors in charge of patients and facilities, so their contribution and dedication is more than just a photo op, in contrast to the Sussexes. They both actually talk to and learn about mental health from those experts. I think Wills and Kate were glad for the split the Sux. made happen with Heads Together as it was obvious the lunatics were trying to run and rip off the asylum.
If I were HM I would stage a familial intervention and isolate Harry from her, deprogram him if you will. I actually think this may be happening - if my hunch is correct I think the family is getting ready to circle the wagons at Balmoral and initiate Operation Megxit.
Harry needs to be honest and come clean with the British people and then disappear for a long while to get the help he needs out of the public eye. The public will understand and forgive but he needs to do this to salvage his reputation, and to disarm her and whatever she holds over him. From there it’s pretty simple - she gets her entitlement and moves on as in any divorce. The Queen (quite savvily) did not gift them a house or anything of real value that MM can go after but she’ll likely get half of Harry’s fortune unless there was a pre-nup.
HM needs to make public any proof that she and her subjects have been deceived and use that as justification to strip MM of her title. Any possibility of MM making money off her royal connection needs to be blocked based on existing questionable financial dealings she has brokered using the Crown as leverage. In this, her showbiz “friends” will drop away and the IRS will most certainly take notice.
Which brings me to wee Archie. He needs protecting and I’m going to assume he is biologically their baby. You cannot separate a mother and child in this day and age based on antiquated royal edicts unless you can prove she is a danger to him. In that case, someone in the family should apply for guardianship of him. If MM is to have custody, any agreement has to guarantee Archie privacy, and Harry should push for maximum visitation and say in child rearing decisions. Archie absolutely cannot be used to cash in or generate publicity which has already been tried once. If MM is who we think she is, Archie may well decide he wants to live with his father when he’s old enough to express this.
However it’s done, MM’s departure needs to be orchestrated . Soon. The tide of public opinion has swiftly turned, and decisive action is necessary if the monarchy is to avoid any further damage from the wrecking ball that is MM.
We are talking as though Meghan is a fait accompli. But, she has a lot of tricks still up her sleeve, and she is being advised by some really repellant Americans (sorry, but it's the truth) who are out to inflict some damage on the BRF. The BRF, or Harry for that matter, haven't shown they are up for a fight, and seem willing to take a lot more abuse before this matter is resolved.
Since Harry doesn't have the time in his busy schedule for being Captain General Royal Marines and attending an event that he was notified of a year in advance, well, that can be managed as well. I'm sure there is another royal with an actual work ethic that would be happy to be Captain General that could make time in his or her schedule to show up for important events.
Once that's clear, take the Wallis & Edward model - live abroad as private citizens. No charity patronages, no foundations under the royal umbrella, no public funding, no payoff. The RF has to send a very clear message to all grifters that there are no rewards for conning your way into the royal family.
What I do think is interesting in all of this is that Meghan hasn't attracted the A-list celebrities that I'm sure she thought would all be clamouring to know her. Sure she apparently has the Clooneys, but everyone else it seems has stayed quiet. Like they know her value has an expiry date.
Diana's unsuitability to be a royal bride was more easily hidden, since her emotional problems were private. She was a teenage virgin bride with no 'past', romantic or otherwise. Her pedigree was excellent and she had, to all appearances, the perfect upbringing (apart from the nasty family divorce) for an aristocratic young lady. Without so much as a parking ticket, there was nothing to bring her across the radar of MI5.
Smeaghan is a different story altogether. As a foreign national, previously married muliple times, with a career in the dodgy (from an upper class British perspective) world of 'entertainment', she warranted a thorough background check from both security services--MI6 as well. The most cursory check by a junior investigator would have turned up the salacious 'yachting', the quasi-or full-on adult films . . the drug use, the dodgy financial dealings she was already engaged in (it is purported that The Tig was closed down because the IRS was looking into non-payment of taxes for income generated off her online Tig store. She already has at least one case of litigation against her for tax related issues, which she contested, before losing the judgement and being forced to pay up.) The Tig was already history before the Queen would have required her to close it down.
These are all matter of public record, as are the financial woes/arrests/tax liens/substance abuse against all her birth family members. Thomas Markle is not a resident of Mexico for the climate; he's got so many liens against him, he faces prosecution if he returns to the States, or to an extradition-friendly nation like the U.K. I believe this, not poor health or the staged photo scandal, is the real reason why he was never going to be able to attend Smirkle's wedding. It seems he had a legitimate heart issue at the same time, but that was coincidental to the real reason, and proved to be the face-saving measure.
All of this should have been detectable easily through MM's tissue paper of self-aggrandizing lies by experienced investigators. Her financial graft motives in marrying into the family should have been crystal clear, and yet, they still let her in. It begs belief. Even if she and Harry had had a secret wedding ceremony and sprung it on the family after the fact, there are any number of loopholes that would have made any such ceremony performed outside of the UK, without the sovereign's blessing or appropriate witnesses AND with no background check on the bride having been completed, subject to nullification.
I don't think there's any containment strategy possible as long as HM allows Smeaghan to remain in the family. When a tree bears only bad fruit, you have to cut it out . . and so far the PTB over there seem disinclined to do anything to or about her. They just keep letting her run amok in the garden and do what she will. It's so sinister. It's one of the greatest mysteries of our, or any, time.
P.S. Speaking of Great Mysteries of our time: I was just at Starbucks and saw a 2-month old girl baby in the arms of her mother. She is a little peanut still. Tiny. Based on this, the 'baby' we saw at the polo is at least 8 or 9 mos. old (whether real or 'reborn'). My friend's grandson is 81/2 months old and she has shared copious pictures of him as he has grown. He was full-term and looks to be about the same size as 'Archie' at the polo.
I would offer generous visitation to Archie, whoever he may be and wherever we may find him. Of course, there would always be supervision during those visits, but not to worry, I am certain Lord G can find a suitable nanny/protection officer. I would assure her that the protection officers would not violate her privacy and, in fact, most of the protection can be done without her even being aware.
I would promise her that the British tabloids would never see the plethora of video evidence we have of her -- not from the yachting days, nor from her time in the family, not even the ones of her cheating on Harry. I'd be especially thoughtful in assuring her that the multiple occasions when her vicious behind-closed-door verbal attacks on HMTQ, William and Kate, the adorable Cambridge children (including the future king), Charles & Camilla, Andrew, the British people, and even the Clooneys would remain safe and secure in the private vaults. No temper tantrums leaked. No drunken, ugly behavior for the world to see. No strapping on of the moonbump. Nothing. Full and complete protection from the horror of the releases of those videos. Her reputation will remain as it is and her privacy will remain intact. And only under extreme circumstances would all that video evidence be released. Extreme defined as anything she does that beings to violate this agreement. Because from the moment that spectacle de merde rolled up in her cheap slutgear, I'd have had her on tape. Harry, too, because... but I'm sure he expected that and tried to keep his back to the camera. If not, well, it's not like we don't already have Vegas.
Of course, in return, I would make certain that she knew that her silence, her relinquishment of her former title, her agreement not to pursue a tell-all would demonstrate equal concern and respect for Harry's privacy and that of the BRF. She would leave Harry's life and allow him to be happy with someone more suitable (basically, any woman who is not a grifting whore who'd do anything for money). I believe that, with some detailed explanations from Lord G's team, she would quickly realize that this was in her best interest and of course, that's what we want.
I would also want her to know that she has our full protection and that Lord G will always be watching over her in seen and unseen fashion. She is, after all, a former duchess, and we would want nothing untoward to happen to her.
I would then leave her to make a decision (and video everything from that moment). But I would already have the most horrifying ready for her. I would never have let her run amok without documenting all of it.
Alas, the clock has not entirely run out on Smeaghan's influence. For 2 weeks running People Magazine has featured her on its cover, after a dry spell. Last week's issue featured the B&W christening photo with the headline trumpeting 'Harry and Meghan are Raising Archie Their Way!'
(their way must be borrowing him for intermittent photo ops and then returning him to his real mother. Were I a mother, there's no way I'd ever let Smeaghan touch my baby. Hold him? What if she decides to drop him just to see if his little skull smashes like a melon for her own amusement?)
This week's issue, just released shows Catherine and Smeg at Wimbledon and promises us to tell us all about 'The Truth Behind the Princesses' Friendship' and how they are really good friends now that they have 'so much more in common'.
Are we trapped in a Kafka novel or a George Orwell one? I can't decide . . .
I'm trying to remember the penalty, if there was one, for Fergie's involvement in a pay to play scheme for access to Andrew. Same goes for the trouble the Wessexes had with their production? company. Something about access to William?
Second: once all those ducks are in a row, sit them down with this info. Demand to know only one thing, is Harry going to remain in the family and in the Firm, or does he really and truly want out?
Once you have answered this question it becomes easy. If Harry wants to stay with her, then he gets whatever was left to him by his mother. That's it. That's all folks. You want to stay in Britain? Swell. Move to Africa or the U.S.? Lovely. You are now responsible for your own housing and upkeep. Don't let the door hit you in the asses on the way out.
However, if Harry decides to shape up and do a proper royal's job and say sayonara to the little wifey, then present Megs and Harry with your info. The insane and unaccounted for expenses on clothing and home upgrades. The deceitful foundation meant to line their pockets. The lies about her pregnancy, her family, and their activities.
And the final exit package should be very simple. We will not press charges or expose you. In return, you will both sign this ironclad NDA (using one of Meg's own tools against her). You, Harry, will be limited to a certain allowance until such time as a review of your activities and your dedication to the job might result in a more lenient one. The baby is a British citizen and will be raised as such, in Britain, until such time as he may decide for himself. Harry will maintain primary custody and will provide for all Archie's needs. Meghan will have ample visitation as is seen fit.
And Megsy? You will receive one million dollars, in payments or a lump sum as you wish. You are free to stay in Britain or return to the U.S. You will be responsible for all your own upkeep henceforth. If at any time you violate these stipulations, you will be prosecuted for your financial shenanigans and any information we've retained on either of you will become fair game for public knowledge.
The only way to play is to be just as hard-nosed as possible to prevent this from ever happening again.
She'll use the baby as a custody bargaining chip, too. Think the Jolie Pitt divorce and she'll follow that script. She'll also use her proxies to "expose" Harry's violent outbursts, histrionics and drug use and demand tests from him to prove it. Bad career move on her part, but she won't be able to control herself. That stupid heart in a million pieces to her dad letter proves she can't.
She'll also insist that she's the one who has been deceived, horribly wronged and abused because of course, narcissists always believe they are the victim.
I don't think anyone in the royal family like Megs at all. Watch Princess Anne, who never holds back if she dislikes someone or something. And Andrew isn't far behind his sister. It also appears that the Edward and Sophie distance themselves, too.
The Queen felt she had to indulge her grandson. She could not deny a full-grown old-enough-to-be-a-man boy his right to marry the yacht girl he loved, but this did not mean that HMTQ was fooled by the markle madness. No, she began her preparations then for the day she knew would come. Probably long before then.
I'd imagine the Cambridges were locked and loaded as early as the Christmas stay prior to the wedding. Great preparations went into the wedding, but even more went into the inevitable divorce. The dog and pony were trotted out right away: Look! We are embracing Meg and her Mum! Meg is even going on the train with the Queen! Meg is coming to Christmas before the wedding! Meg is getting to do things Kate never go to do! See how we love Meg?
Of course, it was all in preparation for the debacle to follow and now they can all say: We tried! We really, really tried! We took her on the train! She got to do all those things Kate never got to do... we really, really tried! And for every story MM can throw out, there are many more on the BRF side, and the British people hate MM, so there will be no Diana-level blowback. Megster herself made sure of that.
It looks to me like MM has markled her own foul self. The BRF has done nothing but indulge the scamming, scheming, lying fraud, and it's hard to prove otherwise. And yes, MM can lie about that, too, but thank goodness for ALL THAT VIDEO.
Punkin, I think the potential financial dealings of their new foundation should provide ample ammunition for enforcement of the NDA. Meg and Harry don't seem to realize that just because they hired Sara Latham, does not make them as untouchable as the Clintons seemed to be with theirs.
Her inability to confront and avoid conflict is probably why she takes such a very long time, if ever, to act on anything her children and grandchildren, sister, and in laws have done that bring shame or upheaval to the royal family. Remember her deafening silence and inability to address the people when Diana died? She was frozen in place at Balmoral.
The queen is frozen this time, too. She's not going to take any drastic measures like remove titles or give any heavy handed ultimatums to Harry and Megs any time soon. It will take much, much more exposure, such as evidence showing malfeasance by the Sux foundation before she makes a move. I would guess she is having all things royal investigated, at this time, including the truth about Andrew's association with Epstein, which is probably keeping them rather busy right now. She would wait for a report and proof, too, and then take a very long time deciding how to act upon the findings or not.
Charles would later describe it as a prison.
Maybe I was spoiled by my own mother, who would do anything to protect her children, but I was shocked that the Queen turned a blind eye when it was obvious that Charles was crying and miserable.
I think the Gordonstoun episode affected him for the rest of his life.
Yeah, Megs has REALLY done so much to advance the Crown's interests, I daresay . . .
But . . like the parable of the two sons, one who pretends to be virtuous for public view, while in private doing nothing at all and the other, who superficially appears 'lazy' but repents and quietly does the correct thing without fanfare . . I think we know who is who in the House of Windsor.
It did distress me a bit that Kate, nearly the age of 30 while waiting for nearly a decade to become William's bride pursued no career and was happy to be a socialite taking expensive holidays and working out obsessively to fill her copious time. She didn't pursue graduate degrees or meaningful charity work, either. But after having her children, I would argue that her top job now is to be a good mother, an available mother . . and she is that. Even though they have a nanny, both Wills and Kate seem to be very hands-on parents. It's a stark contrast to how William's father and siblings were raised. No ceremonial 'Royal' appearance' can be weighed in importance against being a good parent, so I think Kate has chosen the better course as a young mum, even if she's taken heat for it from the Firm. Her children will grow into strong and confident adults due to their nurturing home life and that is ultimately for the nation's good as well as their own. As they grow, Kate can do more. People forget that Diana had very few engagements when her boys were little, and she was Princess of Wales.
MM will make 1939/ Edward the VIII look tame (Wallis was not the bad person in that mess).
Confrontation is the key. Punkinseed called it. HMTQ is old; supposedly Harry is her favorite grandson. Charles is a fool. It will be Camilla (gasp) and Wills that will be the stopgap.
What's getting kind of creepy/obvious is how Doria's last couple of visits to UK, even to see the new baby, was faster than an LA Drive By. I don't think Doria is very keen on anything royal, UK or British. I don't think she's close to Megs either and never has been. She's as detached as the queen was with her kids.
I think Charles is a lot like his mother in that he doesn't like confrontation or conflict. I think the queen and her mom protested about Gordonstoun, but Philip threatened her with divorce if she put Charles in Eton. Philip was that firm about it, and remember, she's not good at handling confrontations so she gave way. She had also promised Philip that he'd be in charge of their children's education decisions and she hates to withdraw a promise.
If anyone in power is backing Meghan as a vehicle for damaging the monarchy I would look first at Vladmir Putin. Destroying western institutions is sort of his thing, and I don't think he's particular about whether he uses his right hand or his left.
I have no sympathy or respect for a mother who could put her own needs and the needs of her grown husband ahead of the needs of her children.
Seriously, what kind of woman puts appearances ahead of the good of her own children, especially when the father is a philandering bully like Philip?
If it was $mirkle doing this, you would be outraged.
Harry married this woman, they have a child, so they, and the BRF are tethered together for the rest of their lives, whether they get a divorce or not. We know the public is well tired of her presence in the BRF, but is Harry? He frequently looks exasperated in their joint appearances. The rest of his family has had enough. Unless we know where Harry stands, it's hard to come up with an exit package, but whatever it is, it must include a deal that helps Meghan maintain status and fame. She will not go quietly, nor stay quiet, no matter how much money is put on the table. Diana was a tricky situation, because of the public affection for her, but Meghan is a more challenging problem. I don't have any any solutions, but wish the BRF good luck. Thanks a lot Harry!
IMO, the RF have recognised what she is and are handling her appropriately. We're approaching the end of phase 1, in which she thoroughly destroys her own credibility, reputation, and fan following just by being her own narcissistic, greedy, tone-deaf, reckless self. Phase 2, where they starve her out with a very sparse diary, no budget, no jewellery or clothing, and no money-making ventures, has either already begun or will commence shortly. Whatever public engagements she does get will therefore be such high-pressure occasions that disasters are guaranteed (I'm looking at you, Africa tour). To prevent her whinging to the press, it will be a slow tightening of the noose. After a year or so of this treatment, she will be begging to leave, and all they will have to do is let her go, with no money, goods, or title. HM already has custody of Archie, and Harry will get a discreet divorce after he goes to Africa for an extended time.
What she failed to understand that in the royal family, there's a huge divide between celebrity and aristocracy. So far, I haven't seen a single peer show any desire to be anywhere near her. Quite the opposite. That probably explains why those in UK closest to her as "friends" are her support staff members and who else? I'm drawing a blank.
Even as an HRH Duchess, she'll never be accepted as one of them, not a member of their tight club that goes back generations in Burke's Peerage, no matter her color or creed. If you are not connected by lineages, old wealth and estates, you're out. Sure, the aristos may hang out with and socialize with celebs for fun, but their view of them is on the same level as amusing zoo animals or another roadside attraction.
They view Megs as an interloper using her new status as a vehicle to drive herself into the pages of Burkes. Not gonna happen. It's hard enough for those actually born into it to maintain high status and respect by their peers, so how could she expect to just because she married the dimmest prince in the UK?
Here's the deal:
A) Africa - what you get in money, clothing, paid staff, this and that, this is what we expect from you to pay you out (annually)
B) divorce and LA - here is how much you get (annually for X years), clothing, this and that, this is what you expect from you to pay you out (annually).
C) stay married - here's what you get, clothing, this and that, what we expect from you to pay out (annually).
If X secret we know you were told escapes> 1) we assume you are the source therefore X you will lose based on your ABC choice and we let Y (and maybe Z) facts about you out.
and so on.
I really liked the mention of IRS and her responsibility to pay (on her and the child I might add) behalf. Funny how old tax receipts have a way of emerging long after the tax year (oh, the IRS does charge interest from that tax year, not the year it was found).
Deal or No Deal?
And the question is, what could she possibly have on them that they can't ignore/deny/and pay back many times over.
And old money is old money and as Punkin said, mm is never going to be accepted. Meg Bye.
As I have said previously on these pages, the RF is now like a self driving car.... everything rolls along for a while without mishap and then.. oops..crash.
You have to remember that a lot of the traditional US media is in a desperate situation, with magazine ad pages in sharp decline and circulation dropping. Staff has been cut to the bone. Magazines like People and Harper's and the various tabloids need to write fast, easy stories with a minimal amount of research.
Meg provides that with her PR releases, plus a little "progressive" cachet because she is a late-in-life bride and biracial.
I also don't think the US media reflects Americans as a whole - probably just the contrary.
Do I think she could realistically hold to the contract long term until she passes is a different Nutty discussion.
I've seen zero evidence of Russian involvement in the Meghan situation, but Putin would certainly have the money and the motive.
But the Royal Family has a long, sometimes violent history. I think we would be naive to think something along those lines could not happen again.
I also think we don't know how much work he and Kate do behind the scenes. Kate, for example, spent a lot of time educating herself about childhood mental health before launching her initiative.
It's not just cutting ribbons.
And Meg and her friends are hardly representative of all Americans, any more than Harry and his Hooray Henry mates represent all Britons.
The fact that the Queen and Charles are so conflict-adverse makes them easy marks for a pushy personality like Meghan Markle.
However, if they can discredit Markle to the nth degree (i.e. arrest for drug possession, dealing, etc.), they could potentially disarm her, depending on what info she has.
Oh please let The Crown continue this far in history...
That followed the disclosure that Camilla also had a near-miss in her helicopter.
Bad things happen in threes?
I think Will and Kate probably do more behind the scenes
The 'silent achievers'
Getting things done without all the hoohaa
He cocks the gun & she is the bullet that does the damage
Both probably don't even realise how subliminal their roles are....perhaps later it will be clear to them and many other people
Harry plays the passive aggressive role and therefore when it's over he will be safe from any direct negativity and blame
MM on the other hand is willing to be the rebel, aggressor and sometime, soon, she will be directly to blame & the BRF will make sure she falls hard
I think she will not be forgiven, there will be no redemption for her
Perhaps because of her deep desire to be famous the best would be to do quarterly installments, that way MM is under a tight rein and would be held accountable for any disclosures & her funding could be shut off immediately.
I think because of her over inflation of her finances, it's fair to say at the moment that she has very little of her own funds and therefore, she has very little choice
If there is an Archie, then I'm sure he will stay in Britain
And naturally it would be imperative, to have a watertight NDA
The BRF have the best team of lawyers in the world to advise them
I would not want to be up against the BRF
It would serve MM better if she swallowed the bitter pill offered and moved on with her life
But we all know she won't do that
She won't go quietly, unfortunately for her
After watching them at the Lion King premiere and her clawing and tugging at Harry was incredibly aggressive, at some points he was actually hiding his hand from her and she still grabbed it!
They are almost done
MM has lost any power she once had over him
Harry has seen the light
I also think Harry is a womaniser, a player and no woman can hold his attention for too long.
I would say that answers for a lot of her recent erratic behaviour
Her reign is almost over
It seems to me that the level of secrets that Harry likely had access to (and I use the past tense because I do not think he has it any longer) would be financial malfeasance and sexual deviance. They do not have minions in the U.S. government that would shut down or slow walk investigations into irregularities in their taxes and questions about where the money is going.
Sure she has. My friends parents live around there and there is no lawn bowling in the vicinity of where they supposedly live.
PS: She will blow through that foundation money in no time.
Rabbit, I think you're right in that Harry didn't want Markle at the match because he wanted to have some time alone with his brother to try and patch things up. Her very presence makes Wills cringe, so by her showing up with baby to interfere in any communications between the brothers nixed that opportunity. That might be why Harry went off grid for 48 hours and it's been said that Wills knew where Harry was, but no one else. I think he was talking to his brother during that whole time and not out having an affair; and didn't return to wherever he is living. That explains why he wore a snap on bow tie to Lion King.
I also think the worn out shoes he wears all the time are a signal of some kind to someone. Similar to the upside down flag is the international distress symbol.
Could someone please tell Caitlin McBride (who may actually be reading here) that:
1. Many Americans think Markle is a fraud and a player; we aren’t all stupid and don’t believe the British are being racist with their dish. Let’s face it – Americans are every bit (or even more, from my observation) as racist, on the whole. We loathe her because she is a liar and a fraud. Repeat: we loathe her because she is a liar and a fraud.
2. Markle was not a successful actress on a popular American TV show. Bloody hell. Get it right. Suits is a Canadian cable show, most of us had never heard of her, and she was D-list awful. She had no career after Suits because just no one wanted to see that skank give another BJ on screen. And she only had a few more years left on the yacht circuit (and I'm being generous there - her Best By date was probably more months away).
Just please.
Thank you in advance. Lord G and I will go walk the corgis now.
So he obviously wasn't missing for 48 hours. It is odd how rumours can start, even when the facts contradict the rumour.

I watched it a couple of times, and here is what I saw: Harry reached out to Wills and did the guy back rub/pat half-hug thing. He looked sincere. I'm sure he misses his brother, but I may be projecting here. (My much beloved brother and I had some difficulties, and when they were resolved, I just sobbed with happiness, so ...)
Whether or not he misses William, Harry looked sincere and the gesture was not a 10 second camera shot (unlike the skank's kissing-the-baby photo where she's glaring prey-like at the camera the entire time - and is she too stupid to know that we see that?).
When Harry did it, William gave him the AYFKM look, but he was smiling. It's (IMO) the kind of look you give someone you know well and love but not liking very much at the time. IMO it looked sincere, and though William didn't reciprocate, I do not see it as wholly unwelcome.
Markle, OTOH, was wholly unwelcome by most everyone, from what I can tell. (Louis was nice to her but she didn't return the smile, much less "roar" - see above.) The she creature scaled her way from the darkness of her underworld to stalk her prey, and I think everyone there, probably even George, felt that maleficence.
I also agree with your assessment re the off-the-grid-clip-on-bow-tie situation. It's what I thought, too. Harry rolled up and threw on what he could find.
IMHO, polo fields was a doll. MM was enacting a scene from a silent movie where the distraught abandoned woman, holding her love child is standing in rags out in the cold (heat), waiting for the man who wronged her to come by. Total manipulation/humiliation. In the one photo, it looks more like PH is pushing her and the "baby" away. Nightmarish!
I immediately spotted the sham of her.
I didn't listen to the interview at that time but did see the photos of her in the ice-skating costume (oy! but new money is tacky sometimes lol) I remember reading that he had seen her on Suits and wanted to meet her which didn't match with the story I heard later in the interview. Of course, nothing MM fabricates matches because not only is she an awful actress, she's an awful liar. One would think that with as much practice as she's had at living and telling absurd lies, she'd get better at it, but it seems that even there, MM cannot achieve more than mediocrity.
@Punkinseed -- I smile at the copious notes about Harry. I'm sure she has been doing this. But if you have seen the polo match 2017? video of her in sneaky-creature mode, digging furiously in the back of the car with her little claws before being scared away, you'll get the image I have now:
She scrawls away in her little diary, hiding it in some part of her underworld, waiting and seething, probably drinking the blood from some small animal she's eviscerated ... as HMTQ, Lord G, and the corgis watch via secret cameras, laughing and planning... (Of course, the corgis love the small animal part and bark wildly during that bit lol)
"he's got so many liens against him, he faces prosecution if he returns to the States, or to an extradition-friendly nation like the U.K."
You don't get prosecuted for liens. You face civil action. You don't get extradited, because you owe people money. A lien has to be attached to property, and if he in fact owns property, the lien holder could foreclose against the property. If he refuses to appear in court during foreclosure proceedings, he defaults on the lien, and the court will issue a summary judgement, after which the lien holder can force a sale of the property to satisfy the lien. Additionally, the US has an extradition treaty with Mexico.
I'm not a fan of Smeg, however you're making accusations and do not understand the law. Do you have any source for what you are saying, or are you stating what you think to be true with not source to back it up?
1, if she decides to play hardball she will going up against one of the most powerful families.
2 whilst she has been playing this game for sometime the firm have been playing for decades.
3 I would bet my hat MI5, have watched learned and taken note to the point that the PPO reports
EVERY word uttered.
4 Was she not captured by a sister site for copyright and plagiarism,Freckles anyone? Imagine how deep
Deep certain people would dig with an agenda!
6 she is known to be paranoid,that could be used to quite an effect to the point where she would even
doubt her own thinking!
7 As a love of all things nice and spice the firm could have a forensic account go over ever bean spent
What would they find or even come up with?
8 I’m am sure Amal would have had a word in her ear and would politely refuse to go up against the Firm.
9 HMTQ has the ultimate weapon her cash anchor baby,by English law she has custody!
10 kinda think she has worn out her alliances within America, POTUS especially.
I have to think it would be a quiet arrest with all the passive aggressive interviews you can think,
Offered a quite sum to go quietly and quickly with a ironcald NDA.
So yeh muckles you be( naughty word).
I was a reporter and editor for years and believe me and other journalists like Nutty when I say that for reporters, if we thought everything people told us was a rumor or just gossip, we'd seldom have anything to write about. Journalists, real ones, old school like I was, are truth seekers, the diggers who will go to any length to get to the truth, be it originated as a rumor, gossip, reliable source, or not, then report it accurately in about 200 words or less at fifth grade reading level.
It basically comes down to this when a story evolves: All we know is what people tell us. It's our job to find out if it's fact or fiction. It's kind of like fishing. Sometimes we catch our limit and other times we get totally skunked.
Please forgive me for derailing.
However, I would not want to be the lawyer who would be trying to argue that it would not make sense to extend the logic of the law to great-grandchildren generation and therefore the child is free to go with the mother (providing she has not broken other law which would prohibit her custody).
Spinning in another direction: Can I come help walk the dogs?

The whole bunch of them, just TCFW
Whether it was a short or long meeting doesn't change the fact that he was present and accounted for.
I don't think she will get much chance to tarnish. It's not a question of blackmail on her part, but the BRF giving the ok to having her arrested and declared an unfit mother. Perhaps her friends also partook of the Class A subtances and won't be available to help her.
Please forgive me for derailing.
Anyone want to bet that we'll be seeing some shots of Archie quite soon to deflect attention for adorable George?
Perhaps one of the strangest rules in the royal rulebook has to do with the royal grandchildren. Whether it is 300 years old or not, it does seem to still exist and as we know, those can still be relevant today. "Technically, the queen has custody over Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Plus, when Meghan and Harry have their baby, the queen will have custody over that one, too....The royal rule dates all the way back to King George in the 1700s. Supposedly, King George had a bad relationship with his son, so he passed the custody law to make sure that he had control of his son’s children. The royal family never got rid of the law, which explains why the queen technically has custody today."
And while 300 years may seem laughable, there are constitutions and case law that old and still used today (although less so with case law in the US, but the Bill of Rights, certainly, and case law is based on that and state constitutions, etc.).

She is now blatantly trying to be the "Diana 2.1". It is nauseating
Intuition is a thing - the human brain works on several levels, and one of them is the subconscious, where the observations happen at such a level it is like a computer program scanning a lot of feeds at once.
I know I am boring:)
Now it’s so obvious to me that she’s a narcissist and grifter. Not sure what Harry’s part is in all this. Sometimes I think he’s complicit, sometimes just stupid, sometimes both.
Either way it is fascinating to watch it all unfold. Oh, what Shakespeare would have done with this drama!!
A professional photographer would have an additional distance from the kids, and an inevitable formality, that Kate doesn't have.
