The Royal Family will be arriving shortly for the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall.
On Sunday, the Queen and several other women from the Royal Family will watch from the balcony of Foreign and Commonwealth Office as Prince Charles lays a wreath at the Centotaph to honor the British war dead.
This open post is a place to (respectfully) discuss both events.

Do they decide on there own where and when they want to appear and arrange to have their cameraman film it? Looks that way to me.

However, I have tried to join it for more than a year, and I never get 'Admin approval'. I can view the postings but can't get into their 'Members Only section. It is there where it seems the juicy things (conspiracies, wild accusations, things Nutty lets us write) are. I think they keep a strict membership so trolls can't bring chaos and disruption. I am embarrased to admit I have written to the Administrator and pratically begged (saying it is my dying wish to join...lol) and no luck. So go get em, if someone feels lucky.
All it took was me to ask on LSA why Meghan didn't wear her hair natural? to get me blasted today, I thought the ladies would think I was appreciating natural hair that Meghan had as a child. But oh no, I was told I was "ignorant" that I didn't know about straightening hair and flat irons.
I think maybe the "taking six weeks off for a break" is code for "the mothership is returning her to her galaxy".
I sure wish someone here would join, and maybe share a bit of what is commented on (maybe not quote since that could be against the secrecy of the group) or give some clue of what they know to be facts. It is an astute group although many are disappointed in the Queen's lack of action regarding the dumb duo.
@Mimi I hear you...she burns me up/I have never, ever in my life formed a dislike to some celebrity, but she has definitely gotten under my skin, I think in large part because she is an American and seems so undeserving of al,l she has been given by the Queen. Harry can be a sucker, well he is getting what he deserves with her. But the poor UK public I feel sorry for, with her antics in so many ways.
I hate to admit it but just today, I was questioning my Christianity for being so negative about Meghan/ Right now I am committing sacrilege because I was praying the Rosary and I stopped to write these comments. I actually imagine when I get to the Pearly Gates, Jesus will say..;"and you Did What?" I have no excuse except its a guilty addiction.
Well. there is a Virtue where one is supposed 'to admonish the sinner' but I'm thinking Meghan wouldn't listen to what I would write her. However, I did take the time and effort to mail a letter to the Queen a few months ago. And I told her politely that I, as an American, was ashamed of Meghan and I hoped she would act better in the future. I wonder if she got a flood of letters would that make the Queen take stock and do something?
Yes. your idea is right about Purgatory. My brother and I joked about our questionable qualifications in getting to heaven,,,, you know, classic Catholic guilt. So I said maybe we could get in a PrePuragatory (I know the Holy Spirit is groaning at that! But I can always confess! lol
Indeed, everything you said about the Queen is spot on! I do hope she lives maybe 8-10 or more and stays on the throne. By then Meghan will probably be a divorcee again (despite what the ladies at LSA think. You couldn't explain it better about wanting to see her comeuppance. I see it as correcting her outrageous hubris and maybe saving Harry from further deterioration.
This blog makes me feel like I'm not nuts to have the feelings I do about the situation. I just wish I could do more to add to the intelligent commentary. I only can chime in with a humorous remark here and there or on facts about California and maybe certain facts on the law. I am so impressed with the bloggers here.
Well, I am making mistakes because I'm tired and by now I might hear *cricket*s after I post. If you are still here I will say goodnight.
Yes, I hope Harry was stirred to ponder the enormity of the nation remembering the valiant men and women who gave their all to the Country and what His Queen and Grandmother contributed (and continues). I was touched at the photo of the Queen where it looked like she wiped away a tear or two.
Goodnight all...Till more fun tomorrow!!
Sophie must have got the ROYAL MEMO... because after the National Anthem is played, Sophie turns to Meghan and either says "Alright?" or "OK? "and Meghan replies "Yes" and then she nods to Tim Laurence and they turn to walk off the balcony.
SO spot on, and Sophie's face afterwards is so perfect. XD
That definitely makes me believe that Cam also pulled a sickie and redused to appear with the Sussexes 2 days back. The BRF are very aware of optics and subtle gestures so I know they must know how the public could perceive it. And the fact that neither Clarence house nor the royal family mentioned that Camilla couldn't attend because she was very sick is telling.
I still maintain that Mm looked caricaturish on the balcony. What was she channelling, a victorian spy??? Her saving Grace was that we could only see her chest up, the whole of her would have been pretty much a shamble. I also don't think she is pregnant, it's just another card they are using to gain sympathy. Mm clutching her belly at Albert Hall was basically her showing of her rings, she has been warned off of playing with her hair and resting her hand on her stomach is a merching move (and also a nervous gesture in her part).
Although, if I were to guess, I'd say she might get know ked up over the holidays. A California baby would be their next PR move. I wouldn't be surprised if this time they actually use the surrogacy or IVF card. I'm sure they are reading all the forum discussions and so far, they seem to be taking their cues from blogs such as this.
But after thinking about it off and on since late 2017 when I started to hear about her, I believe that my criticism of Meghan and the criticism appearing in many other online sites is illegitimate criticism of Meghan’s general behavior, the way she stalked Harry, her conspicuous OTT materialism while pretending to be a humanitarian (humanitarian, my ass) the other shenanigans she’s pulled.
Some of of her behavior that has been legitimately criticized happened even before Harry ever heard of her, including dumping her last husband and her lifetime friend Ninaki Priddy, and claiming to not know much about Harry or the RF.
I believe that when people sit by and allow this kind of behavior to continue without essentially fighting against it, then people like her will triumph.
I truly think that as the opportunities come her way, she will attempt to accumulate as much power, influence and wealth as possible for herself, mainly via the Sussex Royal Brand, and she will wield that power solely for herself. Look at the women who were doxxed earlier this year. Does anyone here honestly think Meghan didn’t have a role in that?
Narcissism is an incredibly destructive and toxic personality disorder. Narcissists have no conscience. And Meghan’s not just any garden variety narc who us running wild in my family, my neighbor’s family or any of your families. No she’s wormed her way into the most high profile and influential royal family on the planet.
I believe she has the potential to cause damage far beyond ticking off the queen, splitting up two once-close brothers brothers, or causing a lifetime of emotional damage to Archie and any other children she has. Those are things a narc would do in any family.
The problem with Meghan is that she’s not yet 40, and if people don’t keep working to expose and educate others in the public about her true nature and agenda, Meghan has many years ahead of her and, as long as she’s married to Harry, she the potential to cause damage that we can’t even imagine that could negatively affect millions of people. Their deformed excuse for a marriage could limp along for many years.
As the saying goes, real life is stranger than fiction. For example, five years ago, how many people on this blog could have in their WILDEST imagination believed that Harry and the RF would be in the mess they’re in today due to a relatively unknown mediocre American actress taking control of Harry to the point where psychologically, he is essentially trapped in a cult?
Many people don’t realize that in many ways, people with narcissistic personality disorder operate much in the same way as cults do, except with a narc, it’s just a cult with two members.
There is a lot of info online, but a good non-clinical article on this is at yourtango.com titled: What Saying “I do” To A Narcissist REALLY Means. It was published on January 18, 2017, about 6 to 9 months into the Harry and Meghan relationship. As you read it, you’ll likely be able to draw many parallels to the H&M relationship.
In addition to Nutty’s well written and thoughtful posts, also read the four installments of A Very Royal Narcissist on narcsite.com for more about what makes Meghan tick.
To wrap it up, no, I don’t feel guilty about doing my part to unmask Meghan here or any other place online or in any discussion with others about her. She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing who will betray Harry, Archie, HM, Charles, or anyone else she thinks is in her way or is no longer useful to her greedy, self-serving, self-aggrandizing agenda.
And actually, now that I've written this lengthy comment, I think I’d feel guilty if I DIDN’T speak up about her behavior, especially if something sad happens to Harry, who due to some of his recent comments, seems more vulnerable than he was the day she slithered into his life.
At least she seems to have washed her face and brushed her hair recently.
Tired if the is she, isn't she game.
I thought I was the only who thought she has the potential to cause a great deal of damage, more than we want to imagine or admit. I am glad to hear I am not the only one who thinks along these lines. With each new person, and now persons, MP’s no less, that come out in her defense, she grows stronger and that frightens me.
That said, someone else mentioned how much it bugs them she wears push-up bras and claims "feed time" scheduling.
PFFFF!! Nah, not me. The one thing that REALLY CHAPS MY HIDE more than any other one single thing ever is her refusal to wear hosiery.
It is easily the simplest, most wee, most BOTTOM BASEMENT LEVEL OF RESPECT holy shit if I were to join the BRF you bet your ass I would wear pantyhose, I would do all the protocol things just to fit in and have them be nice to me. WTF is wrong with her???
So yeah. That's the hill I will die on. The pantyhose hill.
It's the #1 reason I believe all these terrible things about her.
So for me it's the blusher and polyester wigs hill...
Personally I do wear hose when I wear a dress on dressier occasions, especially in cooler months. I think it adds polish to an outfit. But even if I didn't, since it is the Queen's preference it seems like such a simple thing to do to show respect. I mean, we aren't talking about wearing hose for 40+ hours a week at work as many women still do (or wearing them during difficult mass-transit commutes to work.) Just wearing them maybe 4-6 hours a week to go to chauffeur-driven events and that's only on "working" weeks and that's only when wearing a dress or skirt.
What drives me especially nuts are all the excuses her defenders give for M not wearing hose like:
1. Nobody wears pantyhose these days.
Obviously untrue. All the women in the BRF do as do most of the professional women with whom the British royals interact.
2. Variant of #1. Nobody in the US wears pantyhose these days.
BS. They most certainly do where I live. But who cares about the US? M lives in the UK.
3. M lived in Canada so she gets too hot in hose....
Wearing heavy coats in warm weather? No wait, that's supposed to be she's from California so she gets cold..no, wait... She gets too hot AND too cold...and somehow that relates to pantyhose?
4. As a POC, it's hard for her to find hose that match her skin.
While that might be true for women on a tight budget who have to buy cheaper brands, higher-end brands come in 100's of shades. Plus, M has very white legs.
5. Pantyhose are hard for busy women to put on.
BS. If the 93-year old Queen can manage to get herself into pantyhose for work, surely super-supple, yoga-loving Meghan can do the same. Or if not, she could wear stockings and a garter belt. We know she can do that.
Funny she was willing to wear (or skip wearing) all kinds of lingerie items to meet the demands of her past jobs. So why not now? Liberated independent feminist? Living off her father-in-law and grandmother-in-law's largesse? Hardly.
This is just some silly gesture that she wants to turn into her style statement, just like those spider leg lashes, the curtains of hair, the tiny dots for earings. She seems to be struggling so hard to have a style of her own that she is under the illusion that these things make a style statement. She has also adopted the belted dress style for the same reason. And god,how I hate that style.
You can only access the members-only board on RG after you've made a certain number of posts, which I'm not going to reveal. There are a number of people who post on that forum who claim to be in the know about certain things, but I'll leave it at that. Just a word of warning, if you're a Kate fan, it's probably not the right fit for you.
And no, it would not be advisable to share what you read over there, on here, as someone(s) did something similar (on Tumblr) previously, which resulted in a lot of mistrust between members (rightly so, too). I think if you want to join there, stick to what's being discussed there and leave it at that. Also, it's hidden for a reason - it's safer that way for a number of reasons.
Dear Care and Feeding,
How can I convince my brother that getting engaged while he’s not yet divorced from his current wife is unwise? He’s been separated from his current wife for over two years, but it seems like a mistake to rush into an engagement with a woman he’s been dating for only eight months (they’ve known each other for three years) who just got divorced herself. They’re getting married in a year, and his fiancée is already planning the wedding (who, save for Meghan Markle, plans a second wedding so far in advance?).
My worry is that he is searching for certainty while he deals with the bitter acrimony from his current wife during their very messy divorce. He hasn’t seen his kids a whole lot during this process, so they don’t know his fiancée very well. I don’t even think he’s told them about the engagement yet. This is a lot to throw at kids who have heard nothing but terrible things from their mom about their dad. What is the best tack to take with him?
I don't know much about the aversion of stockings for some Americans, Canadians, etc. I do know that in many countries and cultures it is mandatory to wear stockings whilst at work. It is considered basic processional attire. Bare legs in many cultures would be a sign that you lack respect for others and lack professionalism.
Did MM wear stockings during the Moroccan tour? Rule breaking for the sake of rule breaking I just don't understand MM is not a teenager.
So this idea that it is just the Queen is not accurate.
And as a courtesy to the Queen I don't understand why MM doesn't wear stockings. But I suppose that is her in a nutshell, no manners or respect towards the Queen.
No she did not wear it in Morocco but then again, her clothes were ghastly in Morocco. I don't think she quite grasped that Morocco is a traditional, patriarchal and very strict with dress codes. For her it's a holiday destination and since she has to live in luxury palaces or resorts who cares yeah. What a number nut! I don't she cares, or rather likes, that she has to represent the British in every way she can. Or that represent means she should style her clothes, manners, thinking, action to what shows the British culture in the best light to the rest of the world. She wants to bring her individuality to her position. That in a nutshell is her entitlement. It's the same way teenagers with half cooked ideas of freedom and modernization rebel against their parents and society. Mm is so half aked in her I tellect that she doesn't know a good thing when it smacks her in the face.
I very much appreciate your advice regarding joining Royal Gossip Forum, since I read it every day. However, I have tried joining during the course of about a year-and-a-half, using different screen names, different email accounts from different providers. After months of no success I went as far as writing a number of emails to the 'Admin' literally begging to join; very polite sincere emails but to no avail.
Yes, I have noticed new posters in the last I4-6 months (just a very few). So something is off, as to why I don't get accepted. I would be a polite respectful poster *my last screen name I used was 'CelticMiss' which I thought sounded like a good fit). I do like Kate (and their posters don't mostly) but I don't argue with others on blogs so anything one says I rightfully accept as their own opinion.
Do you think Meghan doesn't dress appropriately for the weather and flashes so much skin because she is starting the menopause or in perimenopause with hot flashes? I would imagine the Royal Variety event was rather warm inside, judging by other theatre events I've attended. And perhaps that would explain the whole baby shenanigans?
I disagree with the poster who said Meghan's chest was bigger in SA. If you look at the pics on the Charlatan Duchess, I found her Royal Variety cleavage quite easy to see, as well as the big breast moons. And with the glare from the flash, it seemed even that she oiled her chest. How terribly tasteless to treat every event as a mini-fashion shoot.
And the hair. Megain has ears, right? Though it's hard to say if they're real, as she never seems to listen to anything but her own thoughts in her head. But why doesn't she just push her scraggly, ratty hair behind her ears, instead of holding it back with her hands as she bends over.
Re why Meghan never tucks her hair behind her hair? - Maybe because it's a wig most of the times and when she is bending down she doesn't want to upset it, lest it falls. I'm it particularly familiar with wigs, just seen some relatives use them during chemo. Meghan's wigs are a bad qualiry and she is probably not very comfortable in them but she still doesn't lay off of those ghastly wigs. It's my understanding that a lot of WOC and celebrities use wigs but these would.mostly be so good you can hardly make out it's one. Meghan's seems to be from wish.com and she has certainly been the them in bulk and uses them all together. Her style and fashion is mostly DIY and it's shows.
I agree with pantyhose (if you can put on yoga pants, you ought to be able to handle pantyhose - this coming from someone who remembers plain old stockings with garter belts because that was the only option).
The hill I would get close to dying on would be showing bra straps. (especially with spaghetti strapped tops)
Clothing - I don't think hot flashes are what is triggering it. Nutty said something about samples being a season ahead which is why the colors and fabric are not the correct season in a prior post. She may just be overheated for the room and the clothing. Or, at her age, maybe?
I agree with everyone that the belted look she loves is so not her body but it is something Diana did a fair amount of and she does seem to try to mimic her.
Jewelry - loved the Clair's comment. I know that sometimes celebs may borrow high end jewelry. Do you think that perhaps she is now at this level which is why we don't see a lot?
foot note on prayers: Not Catholic but had a family member I really was angry at what I felt was a very selfish decision. For like 15 years. In my prayers, I would say something about how I hoped they got help, better medication and that it was fine tuned. In M's case, maybe that she has a come to Jesus incident which alters her behavior. Or the medication is alway generically good.
Mimi - I meant to mention earlier, loved your family story.
Meghan is too self-centered to be concerned about others. I don't think it's her Narc personality, I believe she just does not care, period. The public means nothing to her. In her selfish viewpoint on life, one has to be of some use or benefit to her for her to even bother. We have all seen it, everything has to be a photo op, or an opportunity for press coverage, etc... What I find strange is that she does not even acknowledge her adoring fans much less appreciate and express gratitude for them. No, she whines "they don't make it easy", "No one asks me if I'm Ok", blah, blah, blah, ad naseum.
Even then she just gives the bare minimum unless its that momentary minute of a camera seeking Meghanwatt smile that she blesses us plebs with. I wish something would happen to wipe that smirk off her bloated botoxed face and bring that entitled ego down to earth; something like the press revealing the reason for the annulment of her first marriage, an expose of her alleged yachting activities, the truth about her pregnancy, etc...
I am waiting for what happens in California. I just read Oprah just bought a furnished beautiful house on property adjoining her residence in the Santa Barbara area (Monticito). I imagine it would be ideal for Harry/Megs to have an extended stay there.
@Marie, She didn't walk first to lay her cross. Harry did.
In the DM this morning: Stella McCartney has been slammed by social media users for plugging one of her coats worn by the Duchess of Sussex on Remembrance Day. McCartney wrote in her Instagram account: 'So honoured to have HRH Duchess of Sussex in our Autumn '19 coat at Remembrance Day service. x Stella.' She had to detract her comment amid furious backlash.
Speaking of Stella, I must say that the dress she designed for Meghan's evening wedding reception is perhaps my favourite Meghan dress ever. Not that the bar is set very high in that regard, but this really was a great dress.
https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/hbz-meghan-markle-prince-harry-960174072-1526844832.jpg?resize=980:*
@Ilona Does not surprise me! Stella McCartney also took a strange photo of her in front of the Memorial for War Animals. A normal person might post a photo of the war memorial. A celebrity like Stella takes a photo of their face in the foreground with the camera positioned highly above for optimal selfie flattering, with the war memorial cut off in the background.
@CatEyes, not to worry. Snorted at the Meghanwatt. That truly is spot on with her plastered on smiles. Indeed it seems like too much of a fortunate coincidence that Oprah has a separate house on her property. I am shuddering at the Oprah special. I don't know why the Royal Family would allow H&M to cheapen their image, as well as be so hypocritical to do what is essentially public service, i.e. mental health awareness, behind the paywall of an American tax-avoiding company like Apple with massive cash reserves.
@Alice, I never thought of a wig, but that would explain it and why her hair suddenly goes from wiry, thin and ratty to so pillowy, cottony with lots of volume, like at the later Memorial Service.
@abbyh Hm, you're right that pre-season samples would explain that.
thanks, Marie but it was Nutty who mentioned that as a possibility. I've been thinking of rereading some of the older posts.
Just when I thought she is seriously redeeming herself with the goody two shoes rememberance day appearances her friend Serena is actually gaslighting us all?? What's going on??
Alice, nope. You did not miss something.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7455823/Serena-Williams-admits-doesnt-know-Meghan-Markle-left-Archie-home-trip-New-York.html
I think it's been clear for a while that the Harkles were going to be on 'family time' for the Sandringham Christmas walk. No scarf attack this year! I also think Meghan may be pregnant, or planning to be soon, and intends to have her baby in America. I also think she will not return from Los Angeles. But Harry? If he wants to stay a 'working' royal he simply cannot live abroad. However, at this stage I reckon Harry is surplus to requirements for Meghan, or will e quite soon.
Why Serena is commenting now? This is such a strange PR firm to bring up dead stories. Or is Serena exacting petty revenge at Meghan for some slight? Who knows what happens behind closed doors with two major egos? Serena on the tennis court shows herself to be somewhat of a diva and likely knows her way around PR pretty well, having grown up with giving interviews after every match and her sister's scandal with the hit-run driver. We never hear about Venus over here. It seems that the Williams sisters know to let sleeping stories lie long enough, and the public forgets. So this extra comment is strange.
Serena already talked about this in the press. To quote Harry Markle, WE DON'T CARE! The clarifications and revision needs are exhausting. It is just like the decision to sue the Mail over the Thomas Markle letter. A half a year later, no one is talking or likely thinking about it. But, it's a story and it gets MM back in the press, so....
Perhaps she has read less than favorable commentary lately about her and decides to strike back with a friend saying "She's the strongest person I know!" MM apparently can't tolerate not only a lack of attention for her, but attention on someone else; in this case, it was Veterans! These are the "stale and male" types she probably has so much contempt for. They are not her woke crowd at SmartWorks or the bakery!
I read a revealing tidbit the other day on WikiHow, of all places. "You can learn a lot about a person's character based on how they respond to criticism."
At this link here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7672645/Meghan-Harry-spend-Archies-Christmas-Doria-Hello-magazine-reports.html
Toward the bottom of the article, it says "The trip will be Archie's second to the US, after Meghan brought along her baby when she jetted out to watch best friend Serena Williams play in the US Tennis Open Final."
O RLY?!!?!? Yaaaa we don't think so.
Hmph. Very interesting effort, why today??? She's such an attention whore.
I'm wondering if it might be Catherine who is pregnant. The DM posters keep saying she looks tired. That first month of pregnancy fatigue? And we know it's particularly rough on Kate.
When I see "MM" I keep thinking of Marilyn Monroe. So last night I had a peek at "The Prince and the Showgirl". Recasting the roles of course. Hilarious in that light. And I need it. The news about those nitwits is so depressing sometimes.
1. Legal residency with Archie would lay the groundwork for a custody fight.
2.A community property state would ensure her ability to claim 1/2 of marital assets.
3. Generous child support schedule (probably far more favorable than a British court would award methinks)
4. Liberal judges may be very sympathetic to Meghan's need for support/alimony.
5. Mediation on child custody could cause them both to undergo psych evaluations (which Harry would be loathed to do I think).
6. Court proceedings could be sealed.
7. She could claim she has a wonderful support system with her Mother ready, willing and able to appear in any court hearing as needed.
8. Her friends, Serena, the Roth woman, et al could provide in-court testimony for references of Meghan's suitability to be the custodial parent.
I know someone will point out that the Queen has custody of her grandchildren but I have yet to have been told any subsequent law was passed to include greatgrandchildren.
9. High profile cutthroat attorneys there to would jump at the chance to represent Megs,
Harry needs to be on guard to protect himself against Meg's potential actions out-of-left-field as to what Megs can/will do since she is a sneaky manipulator with resouces and home court advantage. lol
You couldn't make it up, as the phrase goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some excellent points. I am more and more convinced that Meghan is planning to relocate to Los Angeles sooner rather than later. Once she - and Archie - are there, there is little anyone can do to stop her having things her way. Hapless Haz is becoming increasingly irrelevant, and it appears to be obvious to everyone but him. Not that I feel sorry for him. His brother supposedly warned him that marrying a woman he barely knew, without meeting her family or having her spend extended periods in London, was a very very bad idea. But he didn't listen. Biggest mistake of his life.
When I moved to NYC in my late 20s I worked for a major international investment bank. As such, I wore pantyhose with any professional outfit, black with black, off-black and/or nude, as appropriate. Well. Well! The older (late-30s) women on my team made fun of me any time I wore them so I quickly learned that in NYC (and Paris), nude hose seem to be a hell no and if it is winter time I will find textured nude-esque (pin-dots, etc) hose so they are nude but not nude but nude.
They've basically scarred me for life on nude hosiery. They were mean.
REGARDLESS - I agree it's an issue of manners and culture and OMG HELLO - BRF protocol - that right there should be an easy no-brainer AND a symbol she belongs.
I agree with the poster who says she took the stand and now (foolishly) thinks she must maintain it. She's a dumbass.
Harry's Nov 17th engagment - this has already been planned.
I am ashamed to know - I read weeks ago on Skippy's blog (just after they announced their 6 week "ON A BREAK" tour) the Nov 17th date was the last formally scheduled royal event for Harry.
So for those asking - this is (and has been) scheduled as the last royal event for Harry before god knows what he'll do (rehab? abscond w/ Meagol?).
One other thing - I do not believe for a second she is actually PURCHASING any of these expensive items so it annoys me to see people thinking she is paying full sticker price for these merching duds - especially given the poor fit, I feel we can be assured they are mostly loaners only.
I rarely if ever see anyone wear nude hose (any time of year) in Manhattan except old ladies and people who are new here.
okay I'll stop now.
I suspect she will wheedle her way to get Harry to put a down payment on a pricy Calif. mansion, on the pretext it will be their Calif. base they need. Then the monies tided up with that scenario could be subject to CP. I think it is the aspect of a very generous spousal support that a court will order will be when she hits the 2nd Lottery of her lifetime (the marriage to Harry was her first big win). Harry was to receive 2-3 million for his project with Oprah; that would be subject to CP also.
Wonder if she’ll expand her own estate or use it as a guest house (for the Sussexes?)
If Harry uses assets from the trust to purchase a home in California, it is his separate property unless he indicates in some way he's gifting it to someone else. For instance, if the deed states the ownership is by both Harry & Smeg, then most, if not all courts, would determine that he made a gift to Smeg. However, if the deed only includes his name, then the opposite is true and courts would determine he did not intend to gift it to Smeg. He could inadvertently gift it in another way... letters, notes, emails, texts that indicate it is "their" home.
I'm sitting here thinking, "Harry! Don't do it! She's setting a trap!"
I was thinking all about the California divorce laws and the whole thing being highly favorable to her there.
But, what if but, there was a prenup? Might not be all that useable in the UK but wouldn't it apply to California?
Perhaps Oprah is behind the 6 week break, will house Doria, Meghan, Harry and Archie and mentor them for future success.
I’d believe that scenario.
It's not yet known if Meghan will have to testify in person.
I don't understand this panty hose thing. .. the last time that I wore them was in the 1980's, when black hose and patterned hose was popular.
Smirkle's wigs and weaves bother me much more.
"Meghan Markle shares five-year old throwback snaps on tour with troops - to mark Remembrance Day"

Because it always has to be about her.
Some time back, we got sucked into the whorl of a narcissists life... well for as long as we could do something for her. Lots of alcohol, as she is very insecure. Same with plastic surgery and expensive clothes, cars and vacations. She is so empty. No one could say anything bad about Madonna, she actually took it personally if you did. I made that mistake once at dinner, all eyes on me, and had to quickly backtrack. Same with the Kardashians. She held them up to her kids as role models, on how you could make a lot of money, just having ambition and a big personality. What a trap.
Poor Harry is now stuck in this cult. Hope he soon has his epiphany, but would not bet on it.
Having litigated 'in pro se' a complex divorce/custody case in California (tho years ago) I disagree with your example of using minimum wage. The court would consider his income from the trust in setting child and spousal support. Also, he has income from the SussexRoyal Foundation perhaps (that Disney money sure isn't buying school books for the poor SA children) and as such it would be considered. Then the Court can 'impute' income, by stating that he and even Mehs has the ability to earn. There is no way out for him to not pay.
If he was smart he would use funds (separate property) from his trust and not put Meghan on the title of a house he purchased. Using income (from Foundation, maybe Oprah project pymts, etc) to purchase becomes using community property funds and then it turns on how the judge wants to view the level of contribution perhaps. Bottom line neither od us as a set of facts to say precisely because it can get murky, Would be better for him to lease, Meghan is probably smart enough to have her own attorney on retainer as we speak. There have been cases litigated over this issue starting from the 70's.
Harry has already done plenty of stupid things with respect to Meghan that's why,
But Charles Is Not King nor regent. Elizabeth may have a number of decent years left and until then the law stands as it does (unless someone can point out an exception).
I liked the dress and would wear it myself with a statement necklace along with proper hosiery. What I didn’t agree with was the hat paired with a girly style dress. All in all though she looked better than she has in quite a while. Was it the brocade fabric that added extra bulk to her midsection? I don’t doubt that she is hinting at a bebe redux however Skippy is saying that Meg has already left the building. She supposedly left London accompanied by Sophie and Edward as guards. We know that the Wessex’ have Canadian obligation coming up.They parted company in NY with M continuing on the LA alone. Harry has an even next week so he has remained at home. Supposedly this is the beginning of the end.
Well, I’ve forced a mini history lesson on you good people and shared some gossip. Supposedly the fact that M has flown the coop will be announced on the 14th so well just have to wait and see.
It remains to be seen that Archie is 'born of the body' (something Skippy and many, many here do not believe). Also, Skippy thinks Harry still has a strong family connection with the BRF. Do you disagree with Skippy on this? I could give you other examples of Skippy being right if you wish?
Gabes_human, I hope Skippy's right, I really do.
Here are a few other thins Skippy has said is true (by established facts or preponderance pf evidence as reported by many).
1. Meghan's PR stated the Queen was having a birthday celebration at Balmoral and wouls be baking her a birthday cake. DID'NT HAPPEN.
2. Queen loaned her jewelry after she married Harry. NEVER HAPPENED
3. Meghan is the Queen's favorite royal. Actions DON'T SUPPORT THIS.
4. The Queen gave then Frogmore Cottage. NO GIFT, It is a 'grace and favor' loan of the residence. Multiple reports that no one lives there,
5. Meghan stalked Harry to create the illusion that a relationship existed in the beginning. Vanity Fair magazine article was due to her PR. Stories have come out that Meghan was on a search for a British boyfriend, beginning with asking her journalist friend to set her up with Ashley Cole, athlete and married at that.
I do disagree with Skippy on one big thing, and that is what part is Harry's involvement in this mess. She thinks he is playing along ala a role he is fulfilling. I think he is fully complicit and responsible as much as Meghan.
You didn't disagree with the points I made. You had the temerity to tell a poster here to not read Skippy, as it was bs. I gave you examples and you did disprove. Instead, you bring up something new. I stuck to the issue. Is Skippy just bs and not worth reading Yes, much of what she writes about Meghan is true.
\]Also I find Skippy's blog to be very interesting because of the animal pics which bring a smile to me, to the historical content, Royal family photos, and even the religious sentiment and prayer requests.
Edward is attending a function in London on the 12th (tomorrow).
I guess Skippy didn’t check royal.uk when fabricating her latest fib.
That's what I found about Skippy, her blog makes me feel good due to the different content she posts about.
Thanks for the feedback. You hit the nail on the head, as I had a gmail address for a couple of my attempts. Yes, I also thought they are being very careful (Oh, the flying monkeys' remark is hilarious) and want a newcomer to have a reference from a current member. I guess I will quit trying because I'm not getting in. I almost think I hurt my chances by trying too hard.
On LSA my profile had a picture of myself and let me politely say, my skin tone was a dead giveaway and caused me to get some mean girl remarks thrown at me. I was new and didn't know about the thread you mentioned. If I go back I will try it. I was shocked at the nasty remarks that are written even tho the policy says the site doesn't tolerate racism.
Whoops. maybe I better stop now, oh who knows who might read this (tomorrow morning) and complain.
I heard of the houseplantfan? site and went there once or twice. I think at the time the blogger was on a break or something. I will have to give it a look-see again. Thanks for the tip.
Oh no you didn't discourage me. Tee..Hee. Yes, the 'R' word. What strikes me odd is that on that site, the very people using that word and accusing are the very ones spewing hate and vile comments against others.
Another pet peeves is the number of medals and awards the royals wear on their uniforms, especially when pictures with other military men/women in uniform.
Meg should change her hair. Di got lots of attention when she changed her hair.
The examples you provide are more things MM is lying about than specific incidents where Skippy was "right." (Much like her MM Anon - she wasn't right about the arrest, etc / treason baby - not yet).
I like that Skippy mostly takes a hands off attitude (except for PH) around letting everyone draw their own conclusions. I've begun to think Skippy is blinded to something. This "kabuki theater" concept of hers just doesn't hold water if this was truly a one-man show run entirely by MM. I find it far more likely he is trapped in a dysfunctional relationship and maybe they both suck.
Either way I can't wait to see.
And the new HarryMarkle is good. The writer is barely able to contain her anger. If only supposed supporters could see the depth of her entitle and very bad manners.
I like Skippy, love the riddles and all. Positive and supportive. Recipes.
Where I pause is that I think the goal posts of something legally, she will be brought down will happen to M keeps moving. I cannot point to this and that and over there post but it always seemed like it was going to happen and then it didn't but then it looked good for this other time but (repeat). It almost seemed as if we would get to watch this too.
In fact, I stopped reading a lot of it because it reminded me too much of the explanations by cult leaders as to why the world did not end as prophesied and the psychological explanations as to why the followers stayed.
But that is just me, maybe others?

Because it always has to be about her.
I imagine she posted that for Veteran's Day (US Holiday that was also on 11/11), not for Rememberance Day.
"The examples you provide are more things MM is lying about than specific incidents where Skippy was "right."
Agree with you completely. I wish she wouldn't go to the mat in defending Harry. But she is entitled to have her opinion and I respect that. If it bothers me greatly I could just go to another blog. She is fair in telling people they have to make their own decisions
Love this blog as people contribute such intelligent analysis of the Meghan/Harry situation and there aren't trolls.
Good one! She definitely looks like the villain in many photos. As we would say (sarcastically) in the Southern US, "Well bless her heart". (eye roll)
