Open post: Meg and Harry's arrival in South Africa

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have touched down in South Africa with what appears to be a live, appropriately-sized baby.

Meg was carrying the child correctly, which suggests she has been practicing. She was photographed in a white blouse and white trousers, an unusual choice for a Mom with a messy baby in diapers, but we'll let that go for now.

Harry was his usual rumpled self in a grey wrinkled trousers with a large phone (or passports?) visible in the front pocket, plus those battered brown suede shoes he insists on wearing everywhere he goes.

What are your thoughts?

Where would one rent a baby? Would you lend yours to MM?

Mischi Smirkles hatred for Kate is pathological. It has actually led me to toy with the idea that maybe Harry once had some secret feelings for Kate (I noticed someone picked up on this idea too either from a comment I made me or the same thinking).
It is the only thing that can explain the level of envy. And I am sure you are right that the more she fails the more she copies Kate who never sets a foot wrong. PS did you see the montage of MM wearing the exact same couture as Ivanka? The exact article of clothing only in a different color. She doesn’t have an original bone in her body.

We’re guessing why M had the bobble hat on “Archie” and I think it’s 1; she wanted her Diana moment since there is a pic of Harry deplaning at slightly older and 2; She keeps him as covered as possible so that no one can easily tell that he isn’t a real boy.

Is she pregnant? Saw a story today that Eugenie, Kate and Smeg will all be having babies in 2020... not sure if there's any truth to it, but Smeg looks pregnant in the video posted above (Harry Markle fb). Is she wearing wrap dresses and the blue belted and bowed dress to try to hid the bump?
JL said…
I agree Knit and wouldn’t it be good if a RF member could visit the Bahamas?

My unproven theory is as mentioned above, she wanted to get a bespoke bun in the oven ASAP to shut the trap. Either she was pregnant and lost it/false alarm/other reason or lied about it and didn't get pregnant so went to the surrogate route. All of her actions up to now just smells of desparation and trying to keep up each lie with a new one. It isn't well planned - even for someone of "average" critical thinking you would have to know at some point you need to produce a small human from the woman-parts.

I think Haz obviously knows now - when he found out? I am not sure, but i get the feeling he was read the riot act by his family about settling down and here we are. I no longer think Haz is as innocent as i used to think - his past clearly shows him cultivating celebrity friends and i think he likes that environment, as well as whatever else she is providing him.

I saw the same. You can see a little bump in that video, near the tie/bow area of the dress.

Hi Ladies ! Let’s all agree to disagree. I love Nutty’s blog because it is the only place I’ve seen where so many intelligent women can express their views in a polite, educated manner. Nope, we don’t all agree and that’s ok. Those of us with children will always use our own experiences as ‘normal’. I’m a retire ob/gyn with a doctorate in microbiology and a masters in psyc., history, psyc and gender studies. I was catching babies before I ever had one-three of which were born at home. I delivered three of my grandchildren. I have strong beliefs on what a mother to be should want from her birthing experience but I have to allow for us all being different. My experiences were great-as great as four hours of work and pain can be. No drugs, my own bed... . I also know that many women did not live through the birthing process and if they lived through the actual birth, purepural sepsis May kill her two weeks later so home births are not for everyone.

On a side note, has anyone else read an account of M contacting a friend of hers with some legal experIence in a panic about the “of the body” clause? I read it shortly before “Archie” was born and I can’t find it again. That’s when I believe the false birth story came about. She wasn’t aware of that fact and that’s when she knew her child wouldn’t have a title.

Oh Knit, I’m crying over the situation in the Bahamas. I’ve lived on the Gulf Coast most of my life so I’m used to hurricanes. I was manning the emergency hospital after Katrina in the basketball court at LSU. My friend Chef Jose Andres has just left the Bahamas and left crews behind to feed people. Yes, the RF needs to send a representative and some able bodies to help. If I still had an able body I would already be there.
I would like anyone's opinion on the first picture in the latest Harry Markle post, it's the of them on the tarmac. The baby's legs look lifeless and in an odd position to me. @Royal Fan, being a doctor, if you've seen it, what do you think?
To me it is beyond fishy that all the pictures in the pub and today are so blurry. I definitely believe there was a surrogate, the first baby we saw at Windsor Castle was a doll, the two christening babies were different, and that all the babies we've seen so far are either borrowed and/or also dolls.

I generally agree with Emily and JL.

And to answer Ann's question, no, there's no exclusivity clause or "right" opinion on this blog.

As long as people are respectful to each other, I'm in favor of a variety of opinions.

She might also be wearing a type of bra insert about the size and shape of a piece of chicken breast meat, laughingly known as a chicken cutlet.

She also could have had breast implants, but if she actually is nursing, a plastic surgeon would advise against it until after the baby is weaned from the breast.

Jdubya, you settle down.

I can well imagine the Archbishop of Canterbury being the one to invite Bishop Curry. England is "his" church, and the invitation to preach should come, officially, from him. Pulpits are like the President's seat. You can't just plop down behind the desk in the Oval Office and indicate to the President he can have a seat on the couch while you're taking a meeting.

I'd bet Charles found Bishop Curry, Meghan agreed she'd like him to preach, and then Charles asked the Archbishop to invite him.

Kate who never sets a foot wrong

Kate has certainly made mistakes, especially when she and Wills were first married. The main difference (IMHO) is that she *learns* from her mistakes.
Avery said…
@Jdubya Mischi has been a consistent and informative poster for quite a while. Don't recall seeing you prior? Why do you feel you can ask her to settle down?
Jdubya said…
I've been here quite a while.

Seems almost some attempts to intimate and bullying going on.

Lighten up people. It's just a gossip board with varied opinions.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion without being ragged on

Jdubya said…
The leg position is something I've notice too. Arms also. No wiggling around either
Ozmanda said…
Mischi - those non existent "tufts of red hair" don't just style themselves you know;)
Ozmanda said…
She seems to have this weird obsession with Kate and I agree with the theory about Haz, I think she is jealous of how close they are. Also stinks of a typical methodology of a controlling or domestic abuse perp - one of their main actions is to isolate the "victim" from friends and family who may influence so they are the only one that is being leaned on. I really see that happening - Megs always likes to have at least some part of her body touching Haz - to me that is a unconscious show of control.

I’m with others who think the baby in Africa trip looks very different from the baby from the christening photo or the baby she was carrying at polo match. This one appears more delicate and smaller. Nose also different. Maybe they did all the traveling to adopt a different baby because surrogate controls the real Archie. The whole thing is sad if true, for the kids.

Is This the REAL THING THIS TIME? or is this just stringing people along?

Recently there was (yet another) post somewhere out in the world about how they will soon divorce.  And my first thought was: Haven't I heard this before?  which moved quickly to: how many times have I heard this (through the years)? There were a number of questions raised which ... I don't know.  I'm not a lawyer.  One of the points which has been raised is that KC would somehow be shelling out beaucoup money to get her to go "away".  That he has all this money stashed away and can pull it out at a moment's notice.  But does he? He inherited a lot of "stuff" from his mother but ... isn't it a lot of tangible stuff like properties? and with that staff to maintain it and insurance.  Inside said properties is art, antique furniture and other "old stuff" which may be valuable" but ... that kind of thing is subject to the whims and bank accounts of the rarified people who may be interested in it (which is not most of us in terms of bei

A Quiet Interlude

 Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event?   Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th?  Oscar's - March 10th?   In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US.  The IRS just never goes away.  Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on).  There's always another one.  Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California.   That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales.   Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere.  But.  The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.  

Christmas is Coming

 The recent post which does mention that the information is speculative and the response got me thinking. It was the one about having them be present at Christmas but must produce the kids. Interesting thought, isn't it? Would they show?  What would we see?  Would there now be photos from the rota?   We often hear of just some rando meeting of rando strangers.  It's odd, isn't it that random strangers just happen to recognize her/them and they have a whole conversation.  Most recently it was from some stranger who raved in some video (link not supplied in the article) that they met and talked and listened to HW talk about her daughter.  There was the requisite comment about HW of how she is/was so kind).  If people are kind, does the world need strangers to tell us (are we that kind of stupid?) or can we come to that conclusion by seeing their kindness in action?  Service. They seem to always be talking about their kids, parenthood and yet, they never seem to have the kids
