When Enty referred to Meghan as a "former Royal" in a blind item the other day, it was probably just a typo. He usually calls Meg a "alliterate former actress turned Royal"; perhaps in his haste to get out another true-crime podcast he missed a couple of words.
Or perhaps it was a Freudian slip.
It seems clearer to more and more people, including former supporters like Tom Sykes of the Daily Beast and Elaine Lui of Lainey Gossip that things aren't really working out, and that sooner or later Meg will join Fergie and Mark Philips in the ranks of cast-side former royals.
What will she do next?
(But which one? I don't watch the Real Housewives, but the casts appear to be sharply segregated, with all-White groups in some places and all-Black groups in others. Where are they going to put biracial "How to Be Both" Meg?)
Of course, Meg on her own might not be all that appealing to viewers - this is the woman whose issue of Vogue UK is on sale for half price just a few days after it was released.
Could she persuade Prince Harry to make regular appearances on a reality show?
Probably not if she and Harry kept their Sussex titles, but if QE II and Charles "streamline" the family, perhaps demoting Harry to his secondary title of Earl of Dumbarton and cutting his funding, reality TV money might start to look appealing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Real Housewife Bethany Frankel launch a number of lifestyle products based on her participation in the show?
Maybe she's Meg's real role model, not Gwenyth Paltrow.

A Real Housewife?
There's always the entertainment business; the gentlemen over at Data Lounge say that Meg wanted to join the cast of the reality franchise "Real Housewives" as far back as the Trevor days, and some even suggest she has been contacting the Bravo people again about possibly joining one of the shows.(But which one?

A children's book author?
Meg is a terrible writer who needs to have her keyboard taken away and broken in half, but there's no denying that Fergie did very well with her collection of "Budgie the Helicopter" children's books.
And when there are children's books, there are usually also ancillary products - animated videos, stuffed animals, clothing. What merching opportunities! Sounds right up Meg's alley.
That said, it could be problematic that the books will reportedly be based on Guy the rescue dog, who was either left behind in Canada or run over by a security vehicle at Kensington Palace.
Perhaps Meg will find a new dog to play the role of "Guy", just like Lassie was cast and re-cast during the long-running TV series.

The Archie question
In addition, the circumstances surrounding Meg's own child, the rarely-seen Archificial, could be a roadblock to her career as a beloved children's book author.
Does Archie exist? Why is he being hidden? What were the real circumstances of his birth?
Does Archie exist? Why is he being hidden? What were the real circumstances of his birth?
And would you buy an adorable picture book from a woman who repeatedly lied about her pregnancy, her birth process, and just about everything else?
A woman who has few friends and almost no positive relationships with her own family, or the family she married into?
New parents are very protective of their offspring and generally don't want dishonest or unpleasant people influencing them.
It's like buying a children's picture book written by R. Kelly.
A politician?
In Friday's issue of The Sun, the paper's royal correspondent Dan Wootton says many Royal Family members believe that Meghan is interested in a political career.
We all know the type of political issues that interest Meghan:
How would she address these issues if she were to become a politician?
Where would she begin her political career? In the USA? If so, which location would she seek to represent? Would she run for a local or national office? What would her platform and campaign promises be?
Who would her supporters be? Who would be her campaign volunteers? Who would vote for her?
And, crucially, would she be interested in doing the drudge work of "constituent service," the pothole-fixing and help-my-daughter-get-into-West-Point recommending and the help-my-son-get-out-of-a-Turkish-prison finagling?
It seems unlikely. Besides, politicians are generally prohibited from merching, at least while they are in office. That sounds strenuous for Meghan.
We all know the type of political issues that interest Meghan:
- economic equality (despite having married into a family of wealthy aristocrats, and using her position to treat her own staff very badly)
- anti-racism (although she listed herself as Caucasian when she thought it would benefit her acting career)
- environmentalism (while she and Harry fly about on private jets and Meg plans a line of fast-fashion clothing)
- feminism (avoiding the fact that she got her big come-up via marriage, and her second biggest come-up via her producer ex-husband)
- sub-Saharan African development (although she reportedly refused to move to Africa herself.)

Comments
If Prince Charles and the Queen haven't shut them down by now, they aren't going to. I am sure poor Prince William is chewing his nails to the quick as he watches his patrimony frittered away by cheap celebs and royal weaklings. He might do something, if he could, but he's done all he can (e.g. splitting the Foundation) and his hands are tied.
Honestly, there is no where for her to go after being a royal. The next step is always downwards. With whom could she improve her standing in the world or her public profile? Even if she married Tom Cruise, permanent A++ Hollywood superstar, he's cheap tin next to genuine British royalty.
Only if the Sussexes get demoted somehow: lose their titles and their funding, will she kick Harry to the curb for something better. But right now, she LOOOOOVVVESSSS being "Sussex Royal" and she's not giving it up for anything.
IDK, sans that idea, I'll have to give it some thought, but I cannot wait to see what Nutties' HR Department finds (in)appropriate for the megster's next gig. We know yachting is out (past the prime for gentlemen seeking companionship, and besides, she probably has pillow marks on her stomach from sporting silicone for months on end -- that's got to do some damage to the body.)
The real housewives love to showcase their "charitable" acts, so that could work for her. If her previous work resume listing her as caucasian is still in effect, she could slide effortlessly into rhony or rhobh. They don't all share their husbands on air...the husband's fame is more important. Often the housewives work off of ex-husband's fame or status. Also housewives frequently peddle their own products on the show.
Could work for her continuing desire to be in public eye.
It's a bit long, but here we go:
"The pattern of today’s royal summers has changed little in the past few decades.
In early June comes the Trooping of the Colour, to mark the monarch's birthday. A few days later (while, the idea goes, affection for the monarchy is running high) the royal accounts are published, showing what the family cost and balancing that against just how tirelessly they have struggled on behalf of the nation in the preceding year.
A few days later we have Royal Ascot, the Queen’s carriage ride around her favorite racecourse, a waving of hands, a greeting of the great and the good, and then the work is nearly done.
In mid July, after Wimbledon, the Queen and the royal family at large shut up shop for a long, two-month summer holiday.
The Queen disappears off to Scotland and other royals, Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince William, and Prince Harry, pare back their work commitments and cut staff in their offices to skeleton levels.
And the royals get to enjoy the summer quietly at home or behind the substantial walls of their friends’ vast estates untroubled by headlines or handshakes.
So one can imagine the sinking feeling that Meghan Markle’s decision, apparently taken without consulting Buckingham Palace, to guest-edit a controversial issue of the British style bible Vogue this summer must have engendered.
Although there had been reports that Meghan was going to be editing the issue, it was only as excerpts of the magazine began to appear on Sunday evening that the extent to which she was involved became clear. Harry’s involvement, complete with some vanilla thoughts about racism and privilege, were completely unanticipated by the wider media."
"The editor of the magazine, Edward Enninful, gave some insight into how the magazine was put together in a triumphal interview with The Times newspaper.
As anyone who has worked at a glossy magazine will know, when a high profile, top-secret cover star is secured, operations are carefully managed. A small and tight circle of individuals are involved, with the rest of the staff often being given pages of future issues to keep them quiet.
This seems to have been the case at Vogue. Meghan was not seen once at Vogue House in the nine months since she and Enninful first met, over what she called “a cup of steaming mint tea.”
Meetings were held at Kensington Palace, and after Meghan and Harry moved to Windsor, communication took place via Skype, rather than at the London offices of the magazine.
Intriguingly, it does appear that Enninful’s first goal was to get Meghan to simply appear on the cover.
However she refused this and instead proposed—by text, while she was sitting at home on her sofa with her dogs—the guest editorship.
Her own editor’s letter, and Enninful’s interviews, make clear that this was entirely her own idea, that she did not seek approval from anybody else in the palace and did not feel the need to.
Perhaps she did consult with someone other than her dogs, but that’s certainly not how she tells it.
Of course some might say that she’s an adult with considerable experience of the media. She knows what she’s doing and, having seen what happened to Kate and Diana, she does not want to be controlled by the palace machine and have her personality smothered as they had theirs."
"Meghan wants to do things her own way.
Sources at Condé Nast have been quick to point out that Prince Charles has twice guest-edited Country Life but the reality is that his input there was almost entirely ignored by the wider media—Meghan’s Vogue takeover has been front page news all week (as Condé Nast would have of course hoped it would) in the U.K.
Unfortunately, the coverage has been far from positive and Condé Nast (famously thin-skinned at the best of times) has taken umbrage at the firestorm of criticism the issue has received.
The Daily Beast, for example, has been blacklisted by the Condé Nast press office for our coverage of the negative reactionsMeghan’s guest editorship has engendered, and having the temerity to express the opinion that Meghan might have made a mistake in doing this.
However, it’s not just the usual suspects (The Daily Mail, Piers Morgan) who are being intensely critical of Meghan and Harry’s latest media outing; Camilla Tominey, a senior editor at the Daily Telegraph, hardly the most republican of publications, felt moved to headline her royal newsletter, “Are these the most patronizing royals ever?” and wrote, “I don’t think I have ever seen a more misguided outpouring from a pair of royals since I first started covering the beat in 2005.”
For good measure she called the September issue, “virtue-signaling nonsense.”
Many will disagree with Tominey and other critics like her, and point to the charity work that Meghan clearly feels passionate about, and the good causes which she supports—all receiving thorough promotion in this issue of Vogue.
The palace declined to comment on whether or not Her Majesty’s senior team—to whom Meghan and Harry’s PR supremo, Sara Latham, who has not exactly covered herself in glory since taking on the role, is supposed to report—had been appraised of the project at all.
It certainly seems deeply unlikely that HM’s press secretary, the careful and cautious Donal McCabe, would have gleefully signed off on an interview in which Harry reminded us all not to be racist.
Even an entry-level PR student knows that the first rule of PR is not to unnecessarily revive memories of previous embarrassments, such as, ooh, the time your principal wore a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party or called his Pakistani mate in the army a ‘paki’.
Meghan and Harry’s decision to continually bypass the palace’s senior people, short-circuiting the entire royal press machine, only really has one explanation.
They must think they know best."
I would imagine that Liz has a pleasing personality, however. And a bangin' figure, as she regularly shows off in the right column of the Daily Mail.
I always assume those stories are thinly-disguised advertisements for her services.
Next path prediction is likely not going to include politics because of the vetting that occurs in campaigns. Opponents are as, if not more ruthless than what MM experienced from press and public pretending to care about being a Royal according to their requirements. Politics is just another form of duty with "mundane" events focused on constituents, not just press conferences, and speeches for sound bites.
She will try to stick with fashion, editing, writing similar to JackieO. In her mind, she's an icon and an influencer.
"...Amy was the inspiration for her parents' popular Amazing Amy children's books."
The what-ifs on MM 's future are endless at this tipping point - and wow! the pinnacle of pridefulness is waaayyyyy up there for the descent into mediocrity.
Girlfriend knows a lot about that.
Meghan will return to America without Archie, if Archie in fact exists. I think she will remarry a very wealthy older (in his '60's) man in politics, business or entertainment (but not an actor). Her husband will fund whatever lifestyle/fashion enterprise she chooses to undertake. Think L'Wren Scott/Mick Jagger or Georgina Chapman/Harvey Weinstein.
Harry will remarry. Maybe he will even marry Chelsy or Cressida.
in this video, Celt news claims that Meghan just lied to BP about being involved with Vogue until the overwhelming evidence that she was lying gave her away, and then she just said "Well, it's already out there."
Clearly, stripping them of their title and their access to Crown funds, housing and other perks is what it's going to take, and nobody in charge has the stomach for it. The Vogue issue was tacky, tone-deaf and a complete vanity project, but it pales in comparison to the ongoing tacky, tone-deaf and fraudulent vanity project that is/was The Production of Archie. Editing one issue of a ephemeral magazine that displays without a doubt that the Duch of Sux and her hubby are vapid and oblivious hypocrites is a stunt that will fade away after the piles of half-price Vogue copies are in the dustbin or wrapping up fish and chip dinners. That they are vapid, oblivious hypocrites isn't a shock to anybody by this point, nearly 2 years into this sham show. But the Matter of Archie (and to a lesser degree, Fraudmore) are ongoing hoaxes that the RF simply must address to the people's satisfaction sometime. How long will those be allowed to fester?
Instead,*here* is what BP chooses to call out as a 'scandal': Sarah and Andrew hosted a little birthday party at BP (where they live) for Harper Beckham and 5 of the birthday girl's little friends, where they dressed up as princesses and had tea with a real Princess, daughter Eugenie. The Yorks have been friends with the Beckhams for a long time. They were castigated for this as promoting 'favoritism' to the Beckhams. Royals do have celebrity friends, and I think the public accepts this. But how is a private birthday party for six little girls even put anywhere near on a level with they VERY PUBLIC favoritism shown by certain other royals to celebs like Serena Williams, Beyonce, the Clooneys, Oprah and BFF Gayle King, et. al.
I'm disgusted.
Walking the red carpet, signing autographs & being adored by all, proving to everyone that ever doubted her that she is now 'it'
The plus side for MM leaving the BRF is that she will have the freedom to be her fabulous blogging self and freed of the stuffy English traditions.
If Harry goes with her he will be the ball and chain that she will discard as soon as someone richer and more influential in the industry comes along.
Archie being silicone will become an environmental problem.....but not their problem
There's none of the extreme focus parents tend to have on a newborn, particularly their first.
Harry's supposedly wanted to be a dad for ages - but now he has a three-month-old and he's going to take several days off to party with David Geffen and Harry Styles at Google Camp?
While Meg is editing magazines, creating a fashion line, and busily deleting comments from the @SussexRoyal Instagram feed?
It just doesn't add up.
I see a Meghan 2.0 (as Anonymous Houseplant used to say) in Harry's future. Possibly a British reality star.
What she will do I don't know, but she will do anything to keep herself on public display, because she clearly hella likes it now, no matter how "easy they don't make it".
Personally, I think it was one of those quiet understated signals indicating big changes.
Here's how novelist Margaret Drabble, a fan, wraps up Undine's personality:
"Undine can, and she does. She dares, risks, exceeds, rises, falls, and rises again. She is unstoppable. She is a force of nature. Her energy is dreadful, her beauty is fatal. She is a fortune-seeker from the Midwest, upwardly mobile, ignorant but quick to learn, and ambitious not for riches (her humble and devoted father has made money and spent lavishly upon her) but for admiration and social glory. We watch, as she glitters and ascends, through a rapidly changing society that seems forced to accommodate her longings and bend to her will. Through marriage after marriage, she conquers the Midwest, and Old New York, and Europe. Will she ever meet an obstacle to her rapacious desires? You have to read on, literally to the last line, to find out."
Have you been following the current mess on the @SussexRoyal Instagram account?
Meg asked people to nominate various "Forces for Change" that will then be followed by the SussexRoyal account.
Amid lots of nominations for Kate and the Queen and a Russian environmental campaigner, there are dozens of nominations for something called @ShopForward, which sells tote bags and T-shirts and donates a portion (it's not specified how much) to charity.
Is Meg getting some kind of kickback from @ShopForward?
This is a very childish and selfish view of how the world works. For someone with such a vaunted 'work ethic'---by herself, no doubt--she illustrates over and over again that she has no interest in working . .only in self-glorification.
https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2019/08/meghan-markle-vogue-radical-royalty/595288/
She also seems to be willing to let her team do what they do best while she's the face of the brand. Meg isn't very good at supporting her team.
It's a tragedy for MM that she has more drive than talent
That is her downfall and why her dreams will never come to fruition
I think Nutty is right in that anyone now is down a step down but might be palatable if they had the finances to allow her to live the life she feels she deserves.
I have never seen a RH show. However, from reading the comments about other reality tv shows, my impression is that many (um, maybe all?) sink their money into maintaining their lifestyle (clothes, trips, shoes, houses, cars) instead of money producing ventures like building rentals for humans and businesses or something nonflashy but stable. So they need to stay in the show to keep their head above water just for today and there still is nothing saved for tomorrow.
I think this would be enticing (lifestyle to her) but I think it would be from the kettle to the fire financially to her. I don't think anyone in the family, while she was growing up, taught her about how to handle money for the future. She didn't have a lot to her name after her relationships ended and she banked at the Bank of Dad when necessary. Now there are some questions about who or how she had paid for the expensive clothing needed for her new life with TBRF. The IRS may be the only ones really drooling in her direction at the moment.
So ... I am thinking that if she does the enticing leap to reality, there will another trainwreck over money at some point later. I don't think she's learned anything from all this.
“Meg is a terrible writer who needs to have her keyboard taken away and broken in half, ”
“Perhaps Meg will find a new dog to play the role of "Guy", just like Lassie was cast and re-cast “
“It's like buying a children's picture book written by R. Kelly.”
LOL Do I love a well crafted snide remark.
I've been on #TeamPillow since the beginning, but now firmly believe that she didn't just fake a pregnancy and use a surrogate to have her and Harry's child. You wrote a wonderful piece about how Harry might have explained the Moonbump shenanigans as a cover for the unconventional arrival of a child who was very much loved and very much theirs all the same.
I now believe that they didn't stop at faking a pregnancy, but are in fact faking parenthood. This would account for the oddly detached/neglectful parenting style from two people who told us they wanted to be parents more than life itself just a few short months ago. It had been my assumption that H. and M. had attempted to broker a private adoption that fell through when the birth mother decided to keep her baby, though there might be some sort of legal agreement in place that 'Archie' be made available for occasional photo ops, as part restitution for whatever monies the Sussex couple paid toward the birth mother's expenses. She was, of course, within her rights to keep her baby, if this is how it went down . . .perhaps after having time to get to know her baby's prospective adoptive parents better, she began to have grave doubts about their suitability, and is now raising her son under the name she has chosen for him.
After that bizarre christening photo display and the Sussexes' subsequent behavior in public, both individually and together . . ie., at the polo match . .or the fact that Harry seems not to have spent an entire week on British soil never mind at home in 'Fraudmore' since 'becoming a father', I am increasingly convinced that there's even a more audacious hoax in play: That H. & M. concocted this baby story entirely for attention (driven by Murkle, but aided and abetted by Halfwit), the impetus being the attention the Cambridges were receiving for their brood, but that they don't really want to 'be' parents; only 'play' parents. That there never was a surrogacy arrangement or private adoption. A baby or babies and perhaps a reborn doll have been drafted in to play the role of "Archie", but there is no real child that bears the name "Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor". He is a character which his 'parents' have created to prop up their monstrous egos, and neither one of them actually wants to be a parent. That's just what they *say* because it makes them sound better than 'We're a couple of shallow, materialistic hedonists who love to party and a baby would seriously cramp our style."
Have either one of them, for one moment since this fiasco got rolling last October for one moment acted like parents? I say no . . . just like 2 under-rehearsed crap actors going though a charade for attention and to make themselves seem 'nurturing' when they are anything but.
For a couple who have no staff, their respective packed schedules really boggle the mind because if there IS a baby, who is taking care of him while Daddy's international jet-setting and Mummy's editing Vogue and meeting Beyonce?
I was seriously worried that AW had developed dementia, cataracts, or both, to give her public blessing to Smeaghan's Style. If she was just being ironic or throwing supreme shade, I feel a bit better. I don't like Anna Wintour, but I had credited her with some taste, considering her job and all.
I have said on multiple posts that the reason this is taking so long is because "she is unsuitable" isn't enough. The BRF cannot just "not like her." She cannot be "just an embarrassment." And certainly the BRF cannot do this Jerry-Springer style. They cannot have another Diana splashback - that was bad enough, but imagine if Diana had been 1/2 black and racism could've been throw into it as well?) To demarkle the BRF, markle must become something altogether unholy, untenable, untoward for all the world to see. (Thankfully, we're talking about the markle here, so this shouldn't take much longer. It's been a year and three months and she's already up to her massive assive.) Otherwise, this could go terribly wrong.
MM is far too vindictive and voracious in her thirst. She will not go quietly, and has proven that she will lie without shame (big, bold, brazen, bombastic ones) and will throw anyone under a plane, train, or automobile for her next swill at the fountain of fame. So, they must destroy her by letting her continue to poison herself and then the final act can play out (most likely orchestrated by one Lord G., who was to be my date to the Balmoral Ball on 8.4, but alas...).
I do not know what the final act will be. Drugs are not enough. Yes, they might cause us to clutch at our collective pearls, but that is not nearly enough. She would garner sympathy and be given an insta-scuse. It is not harlotry or heartlessness (heaven knows we've already seen that from her.) Mere prostitution and perfidy, not going to do it or it woulda, coulda, shoulda already. Nope, needs to be something malicious and unforgivable, some combo of the seven deadly sins. Maybe she melts baby Archie or goes mad in public (or in private and on tape.) Maybe some wicked blackmail and verifiable act of hate towards HMTQ, the Cambridge family (esp the children and Lupo). IDK. But I do not see this ending other than badly and resulting in her total ruin, and then there is no happily ever after for mm.
Anyway that’s how I would play it if I was queen.
I really like Duchess Sarah, as she has always apologized for her outgoing personality. The best thing is she now stays out of public but does live with Prince Andrew.
A post marriage sex tape with someone unsuitable, or several unsuitable persons might get Meg's exit papers. Maybe "couching" for couture?
Fraud or the truth about the baby/pillow shenanigans would hurt Harry's rep too.
What is up with him? Is he stupid? GAY? BI? On drugs?
What about the weight gain....pregnancy, fertility treatments, English cuisine, lack of coke Adderall or her diet aide of choice?
She could marry a Saudi royal or yacht until her celebrity value fades or someone throws her to the sharks whichever comes first.
She could do a prison term a la Martha Stewart for fraud, embezzlement or other such crime. Doubt she has the connections or the wits for insider trading.
Alternately, Harry could get caught with a woman or man giving her the chance to play the "wronged woman"
The royal press gurus may be holding some Sussex naughty bits for release to divert from Epstein/Andy revelations.
Who knows.
I am still laughing at the Kelly book comment (snide and snarky can be such fun). A sad is the parenting skills> sigh. (the snark says: guess that wasn't the target market after all).
I think you are right in that the only stop can be something legal which ties up her money on lawyers defending her/gives PH an out (shame does not seem to exist on this corner of the universe).
And the Ball - Sounds like a fun evening. Wish I were there instead of here.
Afterward? She will hit the ground running, especially eager to continue building her personal faux-humanitarian, woke-feminist brand. We should expect more of the World Vision poverty porn photo-ops, high-profile speaking engagements where she lectures the less-blessed and continues to tell lies, expensing everything and anything in the name of globetrotting "foundation" business, merching galore, and a resurrection of the Influencer Zombie from her Tig glory days. She will try to get as many deals as she can, from fashion to writing to creative endeavours. She will try to get voice-over roles in Disney films and may even try to direct or produce (utter disaster, although others will cover for her in order to lose less money). There will be sweetheart sponsorships with ultra-elite and expensive nonsense like the breathing retreats and gong-bathing idiocy we've already seen, plus vomit-inducing tosh we likely can't yet imagine.
Rather than a rich older husband, she'll find a hot, wealthy boy toy while still maintaining whatever relationship she has with MA on the sly. I am curious to see how she'll explain Archie away, though -- or maybe she thinks people will just forget if he's out of sight and out of mind long enough.
Any bets on whether she posts the redesigned rings back to Haz?
Whatever the original plan was I just can't imagine how this can play out without people questioning everything about this child.
the American actress Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. They omitted her title. I've also noticed the gloves are off in the press. The sharp knives coming for her are quite a show. I was laughing so hard reading an article where the author mentions Meghan meeting Beyonce and her acting career being a Deal or No Deal Model and her other part time gig on that cable TV Show. So funny. Did anyone see the photos they used of Markle in the Telegraph for her birthday? That was a clear F U from the BRF and media.
They used photos of her where she looks like a Goodyear Blimp.
I've never been one of these people who thought Meghan was unattractive.
Quite the opposite. She's an attractive woman and I don't agree with everyone ragging on her for her clothes all of the time. That being said, Meghan is the most UNATTRACTIVE woman in the world because she is ugly inside. Evil in fact. That's why I delight in her looking like she's Stay Puft Marshmallow Man because we all know she hates that. I suspect she's blown up because she stopped the nose candy for whatever reason.
So, by telling all the women worldwide-especially in the UK and US-of the hoax perpetrated by MM and Harry pertaining to Archie, MM will lose the support of every female I can think of. Harry will take some heat but he can say she sprung the fake pregnancy and prosthetic on him too and that since it was in public he was not in a position to call her out on it or that he started trying to get her the mental health she so desperately needs. He’ll be damaged by the fall-out but has enough family and PR support to be accepted again after a year in Africa.
Somehow I want to believe that HM and LG have a plan. I’m sure there is a lot going on behind the scenes that we’ll never know about. What did MM use to blackmail Harry into marriage? By the looks that DA sends her, he’s involved. DA and JE dealings/photos? Did JE rent her to DA? I’m pretty sure MA arranged for her to spend some time with Skippy before she ever met Harry. When he tried to warn Harry against the marriage, Harry iced him out. MM refused to let her new hubby associate with him so I guess that would have been awkward even for her.
I agree re Skippy. I think Wills and Chas are probably the only two men in GB who haven't seen her bottom's up. But who are JE and DA?
It appears that way. Excellent theories ^^^ I still can't believe this crazy train is still rolling along.
I love the Celt's YouTube videos, and when I heard her say they had been cut off by PC, I didnt know about the job postings on KP making no mention of them. Very interesting.
My guess is that if either of them are at Balmoral, it's going to be Hell in a Cell.
Our national debt is really going to skyrocket if they all want Givenchy and Gucci, too.
There are photos on Charlatan Duchess of mm copying Angelina. She could only hope to be Angelina. And I'm no big Angelina fan, just saying mm is so much more of a wannabe/neverwas.
* casting aside your family as if they are dirt. And here I mean not just the Markles but also the black side of the family. Where were all the black aunties, uncles and cousins at the wedding?
* the message to young girls that it is OK to 'work' your way up the ladder via males the way Markle did.
* you can change your religion at the drop of a hat. Which sends the message that religion does not really mean anything at all.
* attending movie premieres and hobnobbing with vacuous celebrities are more worthy than attending memorial services for veterans.
* it is fine to sprout politics using public money whilst the public has no way to remove you from your 'office'.
* the environment is something that does not really need protection, it is only a fashionable cause to post about on your instagram feed.
* you're not allowed to criticise someone if they are not white, as that automatically makes you a racist.
* it is fine to treat people with disdain and contempt if you are lucky enough to have more money than they do.

I can go on and on. But this is what the ENTIRE Royal Family is endorsing day by day by day. I'm done with the lot of them.
Their silence could be interpreted as approval, but if it were to be interpreted that way, wouldn't the BRF only remain silent if they wanted to signal approval *and* it was working effectively? I'd think that they would only continue with that tack if there were positive results.
But mm is a hot mess and there is no missing the mood of the public.
Because of that, and because these are well-advised, political infighters (even if they can't talk politics), I believe that they are letting MM ruin herself all by herself. Their silence is not approval but the perfect anecdote to the markle poison, and by 'perfect' I mean none at all, nothing to stop the poison. If the BRF went around shouting their disapproval and reigning mm in, then she would not be poisoning herself. The press and their op eds calling it out are not without silent support. As Americans, we're used to everyone speaking up and denouncing things, but we operate differently. I could be totally off here, but I believe the BRF is just allowing it to happen because this is what will kill mm and keep her dead -- it's the wooden stake as opposed to the garlic hung round the neck.
A little off-topic but are we sure Randy Andy has never seen MM up close and personal? He seems to have an intense dislike of her so I wonder if their paths didn’t cross during his JE days. The looks he gives her are almost as cold as the daggers she stares at Kate. Personally, I think she has hit on all the men in the fam in her bid to sit on the throne. She all but drools when she looks at Wills.
So, for me, this isn't just about the legitimacy of the BRF, but the idea that supporting the lies is also de-legitimizing the authority of the church. I get that Britain is becoming increasingly secular, so this isn't an issue for most, but it's really troubling to me that church leaders would go along with this.
I'm hoping that the exit strategy involves her not being able to play the victim card, because that seems to be the one she plays the most. I think even if she set Parchie on fire, she'd find a way to gain sympathy for it.
I'm wondering if they kept the surrogate on as a nanny so she's basically raising the kid, only for Meg to trot it out when appropriate.
