Two hundred and twenty four years after George Washington made his 1796 Farewell Address, it is still remembered as an example of great statesmanship and a noble farewell to a lifetime of service.
Harry, Duke of Sussex, made his farewell speech to the British people yesterday evening. As the Spectator UK put it, "the Captain General of the Royal Marines is resigning his post in order to spend more time on Instagram."
What do you think of Harry's farewell address? How will it be remembered?
What do you think Harry and Boris Johnson had to say to one another?
What about Harry and William?

Notice how the sling on one shoulder is off and she’s trying to support a child who looks to be about 20-25 lbs. Supporting that weight with one forearm, especially at her weight is almost impossible without dropping her baby or squeezing his neck. Plus she’s holding him by the back of the neck which would still cause him to drop to the ground bcs the sling is off on one side and no compensatory support. Anyone take physics in your camp, you dear? Even if the strap is around her waist, there’s still no way that a real 20-25 pounds looks like an easy feather to hold.
Bravo, that baby was also big and limp, with legs unnaturally dangling. From France last summer, right? When they were hopping over to Elton's?
Her smug grin never reaches her eyes. Cold fish.
Of course, she was planning on upstaging the beautiful, talented, and good HRH Duchess of Cambridge in her lovely red dress. I agree that while she was quite animated, she did look tired and drawn in repose, poor dear. Zara and Princess Ann were lovely as usual.
SwampMan looked at that short video of the coverslut walking the dogs and the baby, and said "What the hell is that supposed to be? She doesn't know how to hold dogs OR a baby. Is it even alive?"
My two cents about the flights and CO2, etc... if they flew commercial, which I certainly hope they did, those planes would have flown with or without them on board. So you can't blame them for the CO2 emissions that those flights created. The media really needs to stop using this as a basis to criticize them, unless they fly private. JMO...
The voice of reason, thank you.
B- And as soon as the photog she had called had gotten a decent shot, I bet she turned around and went hone asap.
If she wanted sooo much privacy and a photog had followed her on her “hike,” I doubt she’d have a shit-eating grin pasted on her face. It’s the same look she had when photographed while driving to the airport last week.
She makes fake look genuine.
Smash-and-Grabdication. ROTFL
I think the way she is holding "Archie" is "Squish-No-Sqiurm"
Totally conceited to hold him like that so HER face can be seen. Totally staged!
Luckily, I think it IS a doll. It would be very hard to manage a large baby in a carrier that is falling off one shoulder with two dogs on a leash.
@hunter
The smug look on her face bugs me, too!
It’s astonishing. She looks crazed and is the least natural-looking parent, mom or dad, I have ever seen. No maternal anything about her when she is with Archie, yet she bosses H like she’s a Dance Mom. Someone totally called it that she would manage a pap walk with baby and dogs today...which one of you nutties was that?
Who is Canadian here? If I saw that sight in my park, I might call social services to do a welfare check, either of that smothered, still child or the batty lady who makes believe she is a mother.
What those RPOs must witness! Oh my lord.
She got these pics and video released during Kate and Wills’ reception at BP and before Harry got home.
/TANSTAAFL
It'll be interesting seeing where the Harkles marriage goes from here on out with all the stresses of real life/ It will be quite a change for Harry. I predict they'll be divorced within a couple years and Harry will get remarried to a blonde, lol.
When have they flown commercial since Harry says last year he needs to protect his family by flying private (he was just criticized for using s helicopter not long ago also) But guess he may be flying commercial. we'll see if @tatty can track him today?
@tatty what's the latest?
These photos make me so uncomfortable, just like when she lifted Archie over her head at the Tutu visit and jostled him high up as he flopped side to side.
I don't feel annoyed or even gossipy anymore. All of my inner alarms are going off and I don't like seeing these pictures.
Off to eat cookies. She has been papped how many times since they announced they were out?!
Finally, maybe we will see a real sex tape of Madam courtesy of the Russian Oligarch's fancy hidden surveillance set-up. lol
The ones today look more natural than the ridiculous ones that she chose for the African holiday.
Please address them by their full and proper title the Duke and Actress of Sussex
No results for a Montreal to Victoria International
IMO that is once again a life-like doll and it looks to be the same one she used at polo. It's the same size and the legs hang limply dangling the same way! In addition the arms are in the same exact position with one hanging down and the other in what appears to be a fixed upward position to lay against the chest. The polo baby was positioned exactly the same way, and never changed position - one arm fixed upright.
The "baby" here just dangles loosely, jiggling and non lifelike. She has it smooshed against herself to hide it's face.
I'm also not sure this is her original beagle. Her beagle Guy had more brown on his snout.
I can't believe how she is behaving here. She really does seem deranged! Who walks with a baby like this while holding two dog leashes?
And the maniacal smirking directly at the camera is beyond creepy. It's not just one picture - she is looking at the camera almost the entire time!
What are we looking at here? Are we supposed to believe she was caught unaware by paps and she doesn't know they are there? Or she was caught unaware but is graciously smiling for them? Do we think she called them to try to prove she has the baby with her? Or is she smirking at us to show she is triumphant? I notice the DM is moderating comments on this article.
Here is an old article on Guy the beagle and his broken front legs. In the second picture you can see he has more brown on his snout than the one in Canada. I'm not sure if there was ever any article stating what happened to him but it was written about on all the blogs that he was put-down because the damage was too extensive. I certainly hope this is the same Guy as I always felt bad about the dog story and think he's adorable.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5209321/Meghan-Markle-distraught-rescue-dog-breaks-two-legs.html
Googling Markle and polo will get the photos of the "baby" if anyone wants to compare with today's version.
I just cannot make any sense of it. As Prince Philip allegedly said, “What is she playing at?” What is her end game with Archie? How does she see this resolving?
What I am wondering about the pap walk with said child is (tin hat firmly put on)
could this be some sort of coded message to the BRF about said child - the equivalent of: something off, how dare you not give me my demands ....? In addition to the whole timing of K&W showing - two for one?
Swampwoman very cool gator AVI! I am still trying to find the right one.
Also, I think when people bring up Meg getting criticized for bump touching as opposed to Kate, we should direct them to the video of Meg’s coat flicking. Try and find Kate pulling that kind of publicity-hungry BS. Add her breaking news of her pregnancy DURING Bea’s wedding day. Enough said!
Thanks for update
FYI re: Archie's size;
I looked up how long an 8-month-old baby boy would be and it is 28 1/2 inches. I thought the baby looked too long but it is possible to be the right size.
Someone above compared her to Casey Anthony. I instantly thought of Jodi Arias. *shudders*
She has some crazy eyes. The whole thing was creepy.
I wonder how long Harry is going to put up with letting the pap crap go on before he loses it on her about it. He's always hated being papped and now she's on coverslut overload. Plus, every time they do this the $$$ for security goes up and up and up. What a psycho she is. I really feel sorry for the baby. The PPO's must go mad watching her mistreat the baby like she does. PPO's are dads too and would want to protect the baby from HER!
You are right! Jodi Arias! I had not thought of her. Did you watch the trial? OMG That woman is evil incarnate.
Run, Harry, run!
I can’t help if that you want to see something. Woods baby is double the size of the polo baby.
https://ibb.co/2PW4zR0
I also feel bad for William. His first solo reception at Buckingham palace is being overshadowed by the Megxit circus. For someone to claim he wants privacy, it seems that H&M are courting the press and writeups about them. There was no need to make this goodbye speech, which was clearly written by Meghan at the charity event he attended.
However my instincts tell me she has no self-awareness or understanding of what others feel seeing something so unnatural. Something fundamental is missing from her psyche. Oh dear, I haven't recovered yet from seeing her look at Kate with the narcissistic stare. Now this.
She looks like the cat that got the cream. And what a diabolical smile! She looks insane.
Archie dangling like that- is she TRYING to troll us? I just can't believe it.
Every time Will & Kate are in the headlines she has to do something to draw attention back to herself.
As IF the paps are just hanging out in a random park in Victoria, and even if I were a pap hoping for a shot I'd be hedging my bets on the more well know Beacon Hill Park.
Also, where does the Express fit into the BRF media equation? I ask because Harry FKAP was referred to as "potty", and that does not seem to be a term of endearment - is it?
The royal author also believes that Prince Harry is beginning to maybe go slightly “potty” perhaps with all the media attention focused on him.
Also, this:
Mr. Dampier has said that Prince Harry “threw the Queen’s warm words” about his future back in her face after he packed his Sentebale speech with hidden messages addressing his plans with Meghan Markle outside of the monarchy. In an interview with Fabulous Digital, Mr. Dampier said: “Harry’s speech to the Sentebale dinner reminded me greatly of King Edward VIII’s abdication address. He even sounded like him at times!"

PART 1
Within a fortnight of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announcing that they would be “stepping back” as senior royals, it was agreed that the couple would, in fact, be stepping down from royal life entirely. For Prince Harry, it seems that things have not gone entirely to plan again.
Speaking on Sunday night for the first time since negotiations with the Queen and Prince Charles were finalised at Sandringham, he elaborated on what he had wanted from the “progressive” arrangement envisioned by him and his wife, one that would have left them “half-in, half-out” of the royal show, representing the Queen but free to live abroad and to pursue commercial interests. “We were excited, we were hopeful, we were here to serve,” he said. “For those reasons, it brings me great sadness that it has come to this.”
“This” meant the couple being removed from all royal duties, Prince Harry – a former Army captain who has undertaken two tours of Afghanistan – being stripped of his military appointments and paying a market rent on Frogmore Cottage, their Grade II-listed home in Windsor, once they’ve repaid the £2.4 million cost of its refurbishment.
The Sussexes’ plan may have looked good on paper – but it was something that Her Majesty could never countenance. If you take public funding and use the HRH title, you don’t go round touting for private work – as the Duke so clearly did last summer, at the premiere of The Lion King, when he publicly lobbied the head of Disney for film voiceovers for his wife during a red carpet meet-and-greet.
While the couple have ended up with the private arrangement that the Duchess of Sussex clearly craved – life in North America, earning a living as A-list professionals and free to take ambassadorial roles in support of charitable causes of their choice – it is unlikely to be the sort of privacy that the Duke himself has longed for for decades, ever since his late mother was pursued – to her death, Harry thinks – by the press.
The Duke must have been delighted that not a single photograph of the Sussexes was taken by the paparazzi while they were on their six-week break in Canada over Christmas. In fact, the only image from the holiday – of the Duke cuddling his son, Archie – was released on New Year’s Eve on the couple’s official Instagram site. Similarly, last week, the Duchess was meticulously careful to ensure that she controlled the release of photography from her visit to a women’s shelter in Vancouver. But that may have to change when the Sussexes enter the next phase of their working lives. For their success will depend, to a great extent, on public exposure.
The registration of the “Sussex Royal” brand was another attempt by the couple to keep control over their commercial activities – although it’s unclear whether this will survive their departure from royal life in the spring, and their inability to use their HRH titles. Last month, they sought to register “Sussex Royal” as a global trademark – covering merchandise such as clothing, stationery and the running of “emotional support groups” – but this was before negotiations with the Queen and at a time when Prince Harry still envisaged retaining his royal status.
Now that they’ve lost their official royal status, they also lose a strong degree of protection. Not literal protection – as public figures, they are bound to retain efficient security, whomever in the family pays for it. But the trapping of a well-oiled royal office, plus an inherent deference that goes with a royal position, will soon start to crumble away. Never again will the couple enjoy the extraordinary luxury, reserved for actual royalty, of being led along a line of Hollywood’s most powerful players.
And so, yet again, Prince Harry hasn’t got quite what he wanted from this. It is a theme that has echoed throughout his life. For decades, his happiness has been like an intermittent radio signal, crackling on and off, but rarely staying on full power for long. As a little boy, he was blessed with the natural larkiness of the naughty, younger brother, a foil to the more sensible, dutiful William. He has long made jokes about being ginger with an outspokenness born of a surefire confidence in his looks, rather than an insecurity about them.
In his twenties, he had no difficulties in attracting women; they were moths to his ginger flame. His happy-go-lucky nature was damaged – whose wouldn’t be? – by two appalling hammer blows. First, the unhappy marriage, separation and divorce of his parents, all conducted in the full glare of global interest; and then, a thousand times worse, the death of his mother when he was only 12. His years spent at Eton were inevitably underscored by that tragedy. No one, least of all Prince Harry himself, would claim he was any sort of intellectual, but he failed to shine academically at school.
He did, though, develop deep, lasting friendships there and was sheltered by the school from the worst excesses of the press and public interest. His happiest time was in the Army, where he headed after school and stayed for a decade until 2015. There, he found a complete purpose alongside his brother officers, with sure control of and respect of – and from – his men. As the grandson of the nation’s Commander-in-Chief, and in his position as a plum kidnap target, he was always going to be a special case.
But, all the same, he was delighted to be allowed on to the frontline in Afghanistan. Again, as with Eton, the Ministry of Defence managed to keep the press at arm’s length – bliss for him. I met him in Turkey in April 2015, at the centenary of the commemorations of the Gallipoli campaign. He was just about to end his Army career, and you couldn’t have met a more self-assured and happy young man.
With consummate ease, he chatted away to the descendants of those who had fought at Gallipoli (my great-grandfather was killed there); he kept a smile on his face, a joke on his lips and a sure knowledge of his brief. He was particularly tender to older members of our party in their eighties. Today, it is easy to forget that there was a long period where Harry could do no wrong. There were the natural wildnesses and excesses that came with being a young Army officer, a member of the privileged classes and someone who had been, at his own admission, so harmed by those early blows.
So there was the young Harry, stupidly dressing up as a Nazi; getting into scuffles with paparazzi; downing the Flaming Lamborghinis in nightclubs; playing strip billiards in Las Vegas. Those wild days are long gone thanks in part to the passing of time – and to his confronting his demons.
If this were real, one PPO would be stationed between Meg and the photog.
In 2017, in a watershed moment that kickstarted a national conversation about mental health, Prince Harry joined the Telegraph’s Bryony Gordon on her Mad World podcast about how he sought counselling after 20 years of bottling up the grief over his mother’s death. With the discovery of love, in the shape of Meghan Markle, he seemed truly happy at his 2018 wedding, when the pair were unequivocably taken to the nation’s hearts on that sunny, hopeful day.
However, their honeymoon period was surprisingly short-lived. Confusion over his son Archie’s birth last year, followed by the secrecy surrounding his christening, were taken as the first signs of petulance that have crept in to Harry’s public appearances ever since. When the couple were followed around Africa by a documentary team last year, their sadness and irritation was palpable.
The sudden six-week holiday over Christmas showed that their unexplained dissatisfaction had reached breaking point. Not to go to Sandringham for Christmas was a mighty break with royal protocol. The illness and hospitalisation of Harry’s beloved grandfather, Prince Philip, at the age of 98, just before Christmas, appeared to make little difference to the Sussexes; they were already semi-detached.
In their Canadian hideout, they must have put the finishing touches to the bombshell announcement that came after one day back as working royals. When Gordon visited the royal couple last year, she described how they “seemed subdued and sad. They lacked the energy or sparkle I had seen in them previously. All the hope that Prince Harry had expressed when we spoke about his mental health in 2017 appeared to have evaporated.” She said it seemed like Harry was “living out the trauma he had experienced as a 12-year-old – walking behind his mother’s coffin on global television – again and again and again.”
That increasing lack of purpose seems to have gnawed away at him, just as his brother’s destiny grew more and more substantial. Only last year, Prince William was on television learning the ropes of the Duchy of Cornwall, a hugely important role he will take over when his father becomes king.
Certainly, Harry’s status as the “spare” to the heir makes him increasingly expendable, not least as the Cambridges have produced three children. Just as he gave up the Army, the only job he has ever adored, so he has moved further and further away from the Biggest Job – as a potential king. This gap has only been partly filled by his admirable founding of the Invictus Games for disabled veterans.
With the Sussexes’ latest announcement, he has now created another huge gap where once his royal duties used to sit. While the couple’s supposed move to North America may make the Duchess of Sussex happy – it seem inevitable that the former actress will be able to capitalise on her now-stellar international status – it may leave her with a problem: a down-in-the-mouth husband.
What will Harry do with all that spare time? He has always been happiest with a pint in his hand surrounded by boisterous mates, and he won’t have ready access to that in Canada. With his latest gambit, the Unhappy Prince risks being unhappier than ever.
By Harry Mount.
ENDS
For me, this article really lays bare the damage Meghan has caused. She has taken Harry right back to his unhappiest time and kept him there. I'm still angry with Harry, but I can't think of an adequate word to describe Meghan.
What is the meaning of having Meghan and her husband hanging around as though they are important? The entire reason that anybody cares a fig about them are their royal connections. The moment they say one embarrassing word about the husband’s family, or try to sell lubrication cream, they are finished. After the first round of interviews, both tearing up about how awful Meghan used her father in law’s millions, palaces, vacations; fake bump (yes, wait for the stories about doctors delivering a surrogate’s baby, passed as Harry’s, as if Harry deliberately wants a child to be forever questioned regarding his parentage) clothes, chefs, private jets, Jaguars, deca million wedding, plastic surgery, being second in line; how racist the Brits are, except the Prince who loves to wear NaZi uniforms and insults minorities daily - yes, after the vomit sweet first interviews, what are they worth? Hollywood weirdos are not going to play second fiddle to a pair of non-royals who will never get them into royal palaces, people, events, etc. They are aging and unattractive. Plus, William is Diana’s first son, and if Harry whines anymore about Mummy, William will tell him to shut up, and quit whining.
I don’t think she had an actual child in that carrier. The straps would show the weight of the baby, not slide off her arm. There is no indentation around her waist from the weight of the child. They would be an indentation around the baby’s leg from the strap from the shifting weight. None of that is visible. And no obvious diaper on his behind. Fake.
Correct. Maybe she is trolling us.

@Ozmanda! I was hoping you'd roll up! There are studies that have been done on eye contact obvs, but there have also been studies done on the way that eyes track in response to brain activity, and it seems we really can spot "crazy eyes". I'm looking for a decent source for that info (and no, quora doesn't count lol). Have you got anything you'd consider legit?
Excellent observations. Definitely one strap taking almost all the weight of approximately 18-24 lbs would show indentation. Also at that weight in front, she would not likely be comfortable as she is not helping deflect the weight as she has leashes in one hand and not supporting with other hand it seems. No obvious diaper, no way, unless the brilliant Archie has already been toilet-trained.
About the PPO talking on the phone, he is probably calling 1. Child Protective Services 2. An ambulance to stand-by as an accident is about to happen to the 8th in line to the British throne. 3. Harry, to tell him he quits.
LA is a hick town in many ways. An old friend of mine who was a 6th generation Angeleno, once told me, "In LA, old money is 2 years." I guess that's true. Maybe the Harkles can cash in the royal chips there for a while. In NYC, they would probably be shredded. Unless they could provide substantial clout to anyone who associated with them, they wouldn't be able to sprinkle much star dust. They'd be just another couple trying to meet the really, really rich people who make things happen. Titles are nice, but only impress the impressionable. Heck, my family is too lazy & not nearly rich enough to do any serious social climbing, & one of my kids' best friends is a French viscount, much good it does him. LOL. The Harkles, especially Harry, might really regret a move to North America. They might make the RF a laughing stock. I don't think the RF deserves that. I'm not British, not a royal worshiper by any means, but I think the RF should be respected as a symbol of Britain. It's up to the Brits & the RF to decide what iteration of the monarchy works best for Britain, but I would hate to see the likes of Meghan Markle have any input at all in that decision. She doesn't deserve it.
For me, this article really lays bare the damage Meghan has caused. She has taken Harry right back to his unhappiest time and kept him there. I'm still angry with Harry, but I can't think of an adequate word to describe Meghan.
Thanks for the article. Completely agree with you. We discussed that here many times, but I'm glad other people are catching up, too: the more miserable and weak he is, the easier for her to channel it into bitterness, victimhood and paranoia that make him malleable.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7909849/Palace-advisor-says-unsatisfactory-Harry-uses-Sussex-Royal-brand.html
Great assessment of their American dream, you should send Meg a memo. As an Angeleno herself, and somebody who already tried to crack the system and failed, in spite of a fairly successful husband, I'm wondering how does she not know this herself. Or she knows, and that's why she went shopping for an English husband. Smaller pond etc. I don't see her succeeding this time because the two of them have nothing to offer. I'm still waiting to see the proof of her whip smarts.
I have seen toddlers carry their dolls in a baby carrier with more care than this. Absolutely appalling. Walking two dogs as well is just bizarre. Obviously they were brought along to appeal to her "I am a dog lover" narrative.
I sincerely hope that Archie has a devoted and caring nanny because otherwise I worry again about his wellbeing.
@Ava C. & others, thank you for posting behind paywall articles. I was beginning to think I might have to subscribe to the Daily Telegraph, or the London Times. Oh, for the pre-paywall days. LOL
This woman is insane. As in literally insane, not right in the head.
Holy smokes, this just went a whole 'nother level of weird for me.
You go girl, you are something else to keep up with the flights. Just wonder if Harry will be on it and we will find out? But he is bound to be back in Canada soon.
I wonder what Harry is thinking about his wife playing to the media (with his son) grinning like she is in her element? I have a suspicion Harry will have a hard time accepting that Meghan will continue to feed off publicity.
https://blindgossip.com/shut-down-the-crisis/
The most important thing to keep in mind as you read this is the following: Both sides of this family are liars!
They lied about the siblings reconciling.
They had to put up a united front to fulfill a diplomatic obligation. However, they are definitely still estranged.
They lied about the women taking part in the conversation and talking to each other.
At no point were either wives involved in the meetings, nor did they speak to each other. In fact, [the wives] have not spoken in months.
They lied about seriously considering taking away titles.
There is a distinct hierarchy here within the family and it was quickly decided that absolutely no outsider could ever be allowed to disrupt that traditional structure for any reason. It would be unfathomable and degrading to require a former senior person to genuflect to an inferior.
They lied about wanting to lead a quieter life out of the media spotlight.
He acknowledges internally that his decision actually means that the media will be even more intrusive going forward. It is a trade-off for other goals, such as monetary gain.
They lied about considering taking away his house.
They eventually want to bring him back into the fold, even if that event is several years hence. They need to play the long game to make it easy for him to return. Permanently stripping him of everything would have had the opposite effect.
So, why are both sides lying?
There was a determination that the crisis needed to be shut down quickly.
The only way the chaotic media feeding frenzy would stop is if the family pretended that all options were seriously considered; that all important matters were settled; and that all parties parted amicably.
Many compromises had to be made in the name of expediency.
We’re not so sure those compromises were good ones.
While not all of them were optimal, the necessity to quiet the chaos and return to stability was paramount.
We might be giving them too much credit, but perhaps one side knew that causing extreme chaos would result in them getting more of what they wanted?
Perhaps. However, the family is confident that their decision to play the long game is the correct one.
We’ll see if that strategy pays off in the next few years!
That said, that baby is in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM 8 MONYHS OLD! Anyone who thinks that child is the age she is proclaiming has no experience with babies. I have three adult kids, three grand babies and yesterday I was actually with an 8 month old at a birthday party for my granddaughter. My friends baby is a big girl as both her parents are tall. He’s 6’2” she’s 5’10. Archie is 18 months old if he’s a day. She’s lying. No babies after the newborn stage like to be held towards their carriers body. They like to look out at the world. He looks so uncomfortable and her dogs are going to poop somewhere and she is going to make the poor officers clean it. Plus she is freaking me out how she’s smiling so maniacally at the camera! Her husband is supposedly heartbroken, he is moving away from his family and she’s out there smiling like she’s on drugs! She is such a narc I cannot get over it.
Ok. Thanks for listening.
Carry on.
I agree totally--that's not a real baby in the carrier.
This woman is insane. As in literally insane, not right in the head.
Holy smokes, this just went a whole 'nother level of weird for me.
Count me in. Till now, I never truly believed she'd dare to strut around with a doll.
I also googled 8-m/o babies and hiker baby is way too big.
If it's indeed a doll, it is a larger one than both polo baby and airport doll.
Sugar cookies sound good cookieshark!
I agree that MM probably set this up at least in part in the hopes of outshining the Cambridges.
they look so sad

RE: Crazy eyes...
I recently learned about sanpaku eyes.
They are eyes where you can see the whites above and/or below the pupils.
This can be indicative of psychopathy. (not always, obviously)
Certainly a quick google image search of sanpaku eyes shows a whole lot of "crazy eyes."
Funnily enough, Diana had sanpaku eyes. ¯\_(γ)_/¯
Did anyone consider the possibility that the baby is real, but was drugged? I’ve heard of people giving their small children Benadryl for plane travel, maybe Meghan did something similar? Isn’t that what likely killed poor baby Kaylee Anthony, her demon mother giving her Xanax? Scary to think this could be possible but there are evil people in this world. I’d hope Meghantoinette is extra careful about this meal ticket child of hers, but insane people aren’t rational and don’t make good decisions.
And the dog. It’s wearing the same coat as it did in old pictures, but is it the same dog? She’s just the type to have the world’s worst dog (a beagle) and the Honda Accord of dogs, a lab. No offense to anyone that likes these dogs, but I’ve never met a beagle that wasn’t insanely obnoxious and more work than 50 dogs put together. How does she deal with that dog, the lab, which is also extremely energetic, AND a baby?
lol- jinx! Did you learn about sanpaku eyes on Edge of Wonder youtube?
That's where I first heard about them, and I've been fascinated ever since. And I see them so much now, like in that woman in the states who murdered her friend to steal her weeks-old baby.
I wonder how Harry will feel knowing that she purposely calls paps for photo-ops while professing both the evilness of the media and the necessity of privacy? Do you think he will get the contradiction?
"They are eyes where you can see the whites above and/or below the pupils."
Medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism can cause such eyes. In fact, poor Bea looks to have hyperthyroidism because of her bug-eye look. However, the disorder if extreme can cause the afflicted to act crazy sometimes (had a neighbor with it).
I hope the RF who were present at BP felt it was a good night. I hope if there is a real Archie, he is not with Meghan but a mother who loves and cares for him. I have no idea how Harry fits into this anymore. It’s almost as if tonight’s release was a reminder that the puzzle pieces do not fit that easily together, that Harry can’t just fly to Canada and begin anew with his wife and baby.
It’s creepy as hell and I want someone to make sure no child is in her care.
“I was going to say let's do a poll to see how many think it's a real baby but it looks like most of us do think it is a fake / doll. Is there anyone who believes the child is real?”
I never thought I would say this, but I think this is a doll. I have always believed there is an Archie and he is Hapless and Megsy’s biological child. I DO NOT believe that she carried him though. I did initially, but there are too many videos out there of her jello belly for me to continue to believe that.
This is what I don’t understand. There are RPOs (or PPOs) right there. They are there all the time. We know there is a nanny because she was identified on one of their private jet jaunts. Charles has seen him. The Spencer aunties have seen him. HM and PP have seen him at least once.
Even when she was at the polo match carrying him like a sack of potatoes, I believed it was him. There is no way she'd be able to pull off, for example, George and Charlotte having a look at their little cousin.
All of that said, she’s an idiot to pull this. That RPO is probably on the phone call his boss to report that she’s finally lost the plot.
I really believe this is step one of her plan to merch him. She's going to bring him out, bit by bit.
Many of us have soft spots for Harry including myself. As a matter of fact Harry met and befriended a relative of mine a number of years ago when he was working in London and I always have that in the back of my mind.
It's when someone insists on stubbornly defending the horrid Markle on an anti Markle blog, and actively trolls other members at the same time that some of us have a problem with that behavior.
I can't stop thinking about Michael Jackson either- I never imagined there would be a more prolific baby-dangler.
(and then I can't not mention how he was also an African American unhappy with his own skin colour and determined to present as a caucasian :S )
DripDrop indicates she is in the USA and many others think she remains in the UK, I don't have an opinion.
Oooo so was LL Cool J. His skin looks amazing.
"It's when someone insists on stubbornly defending the horrid Markle on an anti Markle blog, and actively trolls other members at the same time that some of us have a problem with that behavior."
Ditto twice-over I say this quickly before I get blasted for being one of many 'Unknowns'.
I think she is cackling hysterically over this right now. When she gets called out for it, she can say "I never said it was Archie".
Regardless, she is sick in the head if this is how she wants to spend her time.
I am truly disturbed by her behavior. This isn't normal, at all.
A senior adviser to the Queen has said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should not be allowed to use the name Sussex Royal after stepping down from official duties.
Thomas Woodcock, Garter King of Arms, who is involved in ensuring that commercial concerns do not make illegitimate use of royal symbols, said that it would not be “satisfactory” if the couple were able to use the title for their website.

Then I hit a paywall.
So Harry would get to keep his patronages, title , HRH, and continue to work for the firm. While MM has the Title, HRH, patronages removed and she can go back to work. She wouldn’t be ‘royal’ not able to use the HRH or Sussex name. There home base could still be Frogmore and if her work takes her CA or US or where ever he can join her when he can. It’s essentially the way an actress lives anyway, they go where the work is.
Currently spouses marrying into the royal family are treated differently depending male or female , they should be treated the same! It more modern.
@ShadeeRrrowz,
I too never thought I'd hear myself say these types things - I'm not a conspiracy theory type of person. But there are just too many strange happenings and when you start analyzing it all, it seems evident that it wasn't a live baby most of the times we've seen Archie.
I think that the protection officers are privy to a lot of stuff and they just keep their mouths shut. I watched a documentary on Diana recently about how her RPO's helped her conduct one of her affairs and kept quiet.
At polo I'm assuming Kate realized what was going on as well as the couple whose name I know but can't think of it right now. They are part of the aristo crowd and also would probably keep mum (maybe not anymore though!). The Cambridge kids wouldn't know any better, and MM made sure not to lay the baby down on a blanket or put him in a carrier where they would have access and notice he wasn't moving.
I don't know how to explain what happened at the Christening. Maybe she didn't get full custody of the baby from the surrogate? All I know is that IMO she has been photographed with fake babies - we've been calling them dolls but they are professional baby replicas used in movies and for some folks that like to construct them, dress them and use them for therapy (??)
@Elle Do you think she was trolling us today? Her whole staged appearance was just so badly done. The look on her face was the creepiest yet. Maybe she doesn't care anymore now that she's got her deal more or less finalized.
She can't help herself.
She wants to be featured
on all covers
in all media
at all times!
MM's a narcissist.
She MUST be the BEST!
She must be number one!
She must dominate the headlines
To overshadow ALL other royals' positive press!
The man at the polo was Charlie Gilkes, Alexander's younger brother. Alexander's gallery employs Eugenie and yes, he's Nonoo's ex husband. Adam Bidwell, Harry's good friend (or lover, as some think) was there, too staring at the baby.

I don't know if Meghan would risk coming there with a doll, but not one person took that baby in their arms, or made funny faces at him, took his hand and other cute/awkward things people do to engage with babies. That is extremely odd.
Queen’s aide warns Harry and Meghan against Sussex Royal title
Valentine Low
January 21 2020, 12:01am,
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex already have a website and Instagram feed called Sussexroyal.
A senior adviser to the Queen has said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should not be allowed to use the name Sussex Royal after stepping down from official duties.
Thomas Woodcock, Garter King of Arms, who is involved in ensuring that commercial concerns do not make illegitimate use of royal symbols, said that it would not be “satisfactory” if the couple were able to use the title for their website.
Garter, as he is known, is a member of the royal household and the principal adviser to the Queen on ceremonial matters and heraldry.
Thomas Woodcock, Garter King of Arms, said: “You either are [royal] or you’re not”
The duke and duchess already have an Instagram feed called Sussexroyal and launched the Sussexroyal website this month. It uses the couple’s cypher of their initials entwined under a coronet. Their charitable body — due to be called Sussex Royal The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — is expected to be launched this year.
After it was announced that the couple will no longer undertake royal duties, or use their HRH titles, questions have been asked about whether it is acceptable for them to continue calling themselves Sussex Royal.
Mr Woodcock told The Times: “I don’t think it’s satisfactory. One cannot be two things at once. You either are [royal] or you’re not.” He is being consulted by the Palace but emphasised that he was giving his personal opinion and that the final decision would rest with the Queen. “It is such unusual times that it is a matter of waiting and seeing how things develop.”
Last night the BBC reported that Prince Harry was believed to have flown to Canada to join Meghan and their baby Archie on Vancouver Island. He spent what appears to have been his last day in Britain for the foreseeable future meeting Boris Johnson and other world leaders at the government’s UK-Africa Investment Summit. He had an informal 20-minute meeting with the prime minister without aides present, and a series of meetings with leaders from Morocco, Malawi and Mozambique.
He was absent from an evening reception marking the conference at Buckingham Palace hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Earlier he congratulated the charity Walking with the Wounded on their tenth anniversary, which was regarded as underlining his strong regard for the armed forces at a time when he has been forced to give up his military appointments.
On Sunday he told a charity dinner in London that he had “no other option” but to step back from royal life. Royal sources have said that he has further engagements at home between now and the spring, when the couple formally step away from official royal duties.
Harry and Meghan have applied to have their trademarked brand Sussex Royal stamped on scores of items and services, including teaching material, books, magazines, brochures, calendars, posters and postcards. Mr Woodcock said that whereas enforcement of the use of royal trademarks was easy within Britain, it could be harder in the United States, in particular if a trademark had already been registered. “It becomes very expensive once you are employing lawyers,” he said.
Palace officials have said that no decision has been made, although Garter is one of the officials being consulted.
"I don't know if Meghan would risk coming there with a doll,"
Normally I would agree but with MM it seems like we are in another dimension! I remember back when this happened Hikari wrote a really great post about how a narc would have no qualms about doing just that - showing up with a real-life replica baby - because she thinks so highly of herself and of her importance she would be delusional enough to think she could get away with it.
We learned recently how there was a big fight between the cambs and the sussexes just before polo that day. MM came in late and looking rather grim. She and Kate didn't associate much at all. I remember Louis tried to reach up to the "baby" and MM ignored him. Markle walked around ignoring everyone as if she was in her own world.
I saw the pictures of Rachel’s pap walk And I had to go sit in a darkened room for several minutes.
A while back, I predicted that if Rachel was thwarted enough and ignored long enough, she would have Britney Spears shave-the-head moment, after which there would be no doubt she was not playing with a full deck. My friends, I think we are here.
Doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll doll.
We have to wonder who is the crazier really...Rachel or the publications that are running these photos Like they are documented reality.
Rachel isn’t even taking the least bit of care anymore to see my authentic. She is DARING the world to call her out. Suggesting that carting around a giant plastic doll in a public park under the pretense that it’s her baby is the action of an unbalanced woman is RACIST. She doesn’t even care that it looks fake. In fact I think that’s the point… She’s taunting the whole world that SHE alone controls “Archie” And this baby is whatever she says he is. Because if that were a real baby in that carrier at that size, Rachel would not be able to stand upright. And what an odd outfit for a January hike in Canadian Woods… the inert form looks like a mummy. Rachel, where is the cute bobble hat & jacket Archie wore just a few weeks ago? Where are his little shoes? A child that big’s getting ready to walk after all.
I am so happy to see Guy The beagle has not crossed the rainbow bridge after all… Unless he has and these two dogs are rented actors, the same as Rachel’s kid. And let us not forget why Rachel had to get her SmugMug(TM) into the papers...In London, William was hosting his first solo state reception.
It’s called aberrant psychology, and what a case study it is! I can’t wait for the inevitable books. In the meantime, who here is still willing to support the notion that Rachel is a fantastic mom? I do wonder if there’s a mental health commitment in her future. In a very secure unit.
She uses her son as an accessorize, a designer handbag, a thing to promote her brand, to create a buzz (eg. to upstage William's first solo Buckingham Palace reception).
The BRF provided them a framework, rules.
They weren’t happy with it. However, they are their worst enemy that’s why they needed it. I expect more and more gross mistakes. They will be their own downfall.
I feel for Archie. It won't be easy but I hope he will be able to become a good and kind person although his parents are so self-absorbed.
I JUST CAN'T with those "hiking with baby" photos. The WORST ever.
So, maybe it's this:
There IS an Archie, but born of surrogate, who may or may not be partly or wholly Meg/Harry DNA.
But here and at the polo - perhaps elsewhere, but we'll stick to those two obviously weird occasions - she's carrying a doll. Both times, the poor thing (is it a thing???) flopping around at odd angles and being smothered.
I've never really been in the doll camp - there IS a baby - but today was too much for me.
The smugness is...I JUST CAN'T.
In her narced, psycho brain, she is cackling at the ridiculousness of her life that she's getting paid to hike in the woods with a doll with two burly men to protect her and she's fooling the whole planet. Oh yeah, and a prince of the realm has defied the most powerful woman on the planet to come and be with her, bringing million$ with him..which she will have access to whether they stay married or not. Truly - I want to say GFY Meghan.
I can see her ..."Well...I AM an actress, after all. Cackle, Giggle, Cackle. I must play my role in all of this." Sigh. Sips wine. Smug grin. Reminds the nanny that it's "feed time".
She's truly, f'ing lost it this time.
I JUST CAN'T.
“I too never thought I'd hear myself say these types things - I'm not a conspiracy theory type of person.”
That’s OK because I do tend to believe them now and again LOL! Like I said, I believe there is an Archie, this just isn't him.
I think I’m just having an issue wrapping my brain around the scale of this. It would require so many people to be quiet. I’m sure RPOs being discreet while their principle carries on an affair happens all the time. I just don’t know how they could all be quiet about a fake baby.
That being said, something is definitely wrong with her pap walk today. And with the way he bleats on about privacy, I’d love to believe Harry would give her hell the minute he steps off the plane. Sadly, I don’t think that’s going to happen.
Except in her mind she's "protecting her baby from the smothering bad energy of paparazzi".
And I said the same thing - that it seems she doesn't care any more. That smirky look on her face is just awful. I'm laughing at you pointing out if he were real she wouldn't be able to stand upright and now I'm picturing her falling forward bellyflopping onto her face.
Honestly, she's so bizarre, seemingly crazy, I don't even know what to think. Who does this stuff?
Too true re this: Her whole staged appearance was just so badly done. The look on her face was the creepiest yet.
Except that this doesn't seem logical: Maybe she doesn't care anymore now that she's got her deal more or less finalized.. There is still a lot they can do.
Maybe the details are so bad she's trolling the BRF? IDK. Seriously, if she were stealing money, I could think of those kinds of trails and loopholes because they're logical. Creative skeeze, yes, but there's logic, there's a trail. In fact, one of the things it's important to do it try to think like a money-launderer or a criminal to come up with the questions and possible paths. This behavior is so illogical I can't make sense of it because I can't think like it.
There were times when I thought @Hikari was reaching, but now I realize I just didn't understand how crazy this situation really was. It does seem like we are in a whole other dimension!
Now that several articles have dropped about the big fight before polo and the timing (no reason to share that info) and the statements about Archie / the pregnancy in timelines of when things started to go wrong, it does seem like these are intentional drops, but the BRF only has a limited window in which to drop that. Plausible deniability probably isn't a forever thing in this case. But I'm not following their LT game re this. If they're hoping Harry FKAP is coming back, this might be awhile.
Also, re the Sussex Royal situation, I posted from another article on the previous post about how much that was going to cost them to redo it. It's going to be expensive and it's going to take some time. Whoops. And where do they go from Sussex Royal? and what name do they want to double down on if she's planning to divorce him sooner than later?
@DesignDoctor, yep, CoverSlut. Love it lol.
-she is trolling us and laughing at us.
-she is protecting the baby from the paps (although she probably called them)
-there is something wrong with the baby's appearance or behavior and narc Meg can't handle us seeing that.

That's a cheap one. These things are freaky AF. People mistake them for real babies and toddlers all the time. People have called the police because they thought the babies were abandoned in cars. I knew someone last year who had these (NO, not a friend), and they are scary real. I was actually terrified she would bring one near me. If you aren't familiar, read about them. They can be purchased "anatomically correct", some women breastfeed them, and they have all sorts of features. The link above is to a cheap one, and look how real it looks.
Tatty,
Your eagle has landed. There are pics of Harry at the airport, no Megs.
Dolls have faces, too. Eyes that can open and shut. People with Rachel’s resources can order custom made dollies that look like a real child...Not just a generic “real” child like “Darren”..Like a real child’s picture.
I’m sure you’ve held a real baby of this size, haven’t you? Does this extremely precarious presentation with the outfitting carrier that’s half hanging off her body WHILE she holds a dog leash in each hand seem remotely like what a real mother would do? Archie can’t enjoy the glories of the Canadian landscape from that position… The poor “child“ Can hardly breathe smashed up against her like that. Why can’t he enjoy some fresh Canadian air Rachel? Good thing he doesn’t have lungs.
There are two big burly RPO’s directly behind her… Why don’t they take a dog each so she can hold her baby properly? Because based on the photo that I’m looking at, one or both should have intervened due to danger to the child. Rachel loves to manipulate reality… She gets off on it. That’s what she’s doing here...This is a big FU to Everyone, but especially William. THIS is what Harry gave up his birthright for. She’s gloating.
One thing that this step down from the royals may have changed is her plans to get pregnant with a second child or stage another pregnancy. I guess she won't need to do that now.
I can't get over how creepy she appeared when looking directly into the camera - it's like she was smugly speaking to us. How does she expect to be an influencer looking like that?
I can't see how they would be helpful to somebody.
Admittedly, I'm not a psychiatrist, but I can't see how holding on to something like that would be constructive to a grieving person.
Bates Motel comes to mind.
And also, there are a lot of creepy freaks out there and the thought of these dolls being anatomically correct makes me want to vomit.
She's just so damn tacky.
Stupid question for the day
Do you think this was a real baby?
What I noticed was that her hand kept the baby's arm from moving. The legs of the baby could have been moving by normal striding side by side. I don't see any head movement or left arm movement by the baby. Given that being offsides can be uncomfortable, I would expect a bit of wiggling.
@abbyh: Meghan is so bat-guano crazy with profound narcissistic personality disorder that no question is stupid.
Think about it. Four years ago, if you in your wildest imagination, went online and predicted this entire dumpster fire, train wreck, sh!t show, do you think anyone would have believed it could be true? No way! But yet, here we are, watching a combination dumpster fire, train wreck, sh!t show.
I think it could be a doll. It’s very big with very long legs for 8.5 months old.
To quote Torontopaper’s latest tweet from about 5 hours ago:
torontopaper
Darling, aren't you much too old to walk around with a doll?
And everything @Hikari said about them-truth. They can cost thousands and are baked from silicone to feel like real baby. In theory, they're supposed to help some people, but I really cannot imagine.
And @Trudy Blue, maybe what comes next re Archie is one of the reasons they had to leave.
It is all so very bizarre, but I just checked twitter, and some on the left are even questioning the focus on these two. That is a very good sign IMO because as much as some people do not want to think it, there are good people on all sides of the political equation, and this will become more obscene now that Rach will be 24/7 in our face and no BRF to protect her.
The way his legs move... he can't be a real baby, right?
To be honest, I was all in on the Darren real doll theory at first, but then when he showed up in Africa I was like, "well, Archie is real after all!"
But after watching this video... the way his leg jiggles- his left leg in particular- it's as if there is no knee joint.
He's like a Stretch Armstrong doll from my childhood.
What the HECK is going on here?!!!!
I swear this is her shave-the-head moment. Let’s let these pictures marinate overnight and see what the consensus is tomorrow. I think this deranged presentation is proof that she is so angry about being denied her List, she has lost any semblance of strategic thinking. This is balls out “look at me and how much I don’t give a F***k.” If Harry has not yet been the victim of physical abuse, I believe it’s coming. He will be completely devalued now and she will blame him for his failure in not jamming through their manifesto.
"There are two big burly RPO’s directly behind her… Why don’t they take a dog each so she can hold her baby properly?"
I don't think real protection officers are supposed to do personal tasks like holding dog leashes. They are supposed to be "on alert" all the time-- although I have to say yammering on a cell phone as one of these guys is doing doesn't make him look too alert either.
I know people online have commented that Kate's RPOs don't help with with things like loading groceries in her car.
That said, the more I look at it, the worse Archie's position seems. It also looks like in addition to the shoulder strap falling down on Meghan's right, there's a thinner strap on the left that's not being used--- looks like A's leg goes through the corresponding thin strap on the right but not the left one.
I hope it's a doll. There's too much stress on the child's butt dangling like that with no hip support---looks like he's getting a super wedgie
Another possible post: ask for predictions for five years from now for the RF and the Sussexes.
And: Would like to know what do you think serious history will have to say about the Harry and Meghan saga? How much will social media comments affect the historical record. Besides making our comments and observations, in a way, all of us are writing history by giving the mood of how regular people see the Harkles and the RF.
Mucho thanks for this blog!
PMO so much, on William's first time to host, too. I really, really wish she'd go away. Far away. I hope she marries a Russian oligarch.
@Trudy Blue, I love vintage and antique jewelry, so thank you! And the books for Hikari the Librarian, excellent suggestion!
Cut and pasted from the US State Department website.
Does MM spending so much of 6 yrs in Canada mean Archie isn’t eligible for automatic US citizenship?
A person born abroad in wedlock to a U.S. citizen and an alien acquires U.S. citizenship at birth if the U.S. citizen parent has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the person’s birth for the period required by the statute in effect when the person was born (INA 301(g), formerly INA 301(a)(7).) For birth on or after November 14, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent must have been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for five years prior to the person’s birth, at least two of which were after the age of fourteen. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent must have been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for 10 years prior to the person’s birth, at least five of which were after the age of 14 for the person to acquire U.S. citizenship at birth. The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship.
For me, this article really lays bare the damage Meghan has caused. She has taken Harry right back to his unhappiest time and kept him there. I'm still angry with Harry, but I can't think of an adequate word to describe Meghan.
@Ava C: Narcissists are experts at reading people. She knows Harry’s vulnerabilities, especially about his mother’s death, and she uses it to manipulate and control Harry. It’s much easier to keep someone down if they’re already in a pit of despair with her boot on their neck. She is a poor excuse for a human being.
She might be enjoying the shallow trappings of status, wealth, fame, and attention, but these are things of this world and they’re fleeting. I’m guessing she has spent little or no time pondering what she’ll have to say for herself when her life is over and she is asked, “What did you do in My Name?” I wouldn’t trade places with her for all the royal goodies on earth. They won’t make any difference in the next place.
Also, I just read that there is a type of person called the "malignant narcissist," one who can be very dangerous, and you can't win with this type of personality. It's best to just remove them from your life. I think that's what the RF is up against.
I'm just going to leave this short video explaining malignant narcissism here and let you decide how this fits as a description of MM's behaviors.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viknzcweCHQ
The way she's holding the baby IS appalling and frightening. Obviously no care was taken by MM to see that Archie was safe and secure. There are so many things wrong with those photos, but all of you have already covered it.
Harry's landed in BC, and he looks miserable, very angry/uptight. His hands are in fists and there's a scowl on his face. So that's what your new-found "freedom" does for you, Harry? Nobody looks happy, even the poor dogs. So MM can drive to the airport to pick up her yoga guru, but cant drive (or have her RPOs drive) there to pick up her own husband, whom she hasn't seen in so long? What a sign of true love! :/
What a fool you are, Harry. What a fool.
It and her husband are heading for a big fall. The story is about Its faux pregnancy, Harry lying and freaking about being found out, from all his stupid make believe stories. Harry is not a nice person, and since he had a weak father, scared to death of his sons, Harry literally got away with murder? Harry is a double digit IQ, and thus was given special treatment by the media.
No more lies. No more illegal drugs.
“I read a comment from a RPO years ago who said that his only job is to protect his charge. They are not babysitters, so they don't interfere in what the protected person does, unless it puts them into immediate danger. They are merely there for protection, not to make sure that the person is acting properly.”
I agree with this. However, I’d think that a fully-grown woman walking around with a baby doll grinning like a madwoman might qualify as being a danger to herself. She looks absolutely crazy in those photos. Maybe the one guy was calling for a straight jacket. That would explain why she didn’t pap-drive to the airport to pick up Harry.
Years ago, there was a huge brouhaha when President Bush’s twin daughters were caught with fake IDs and drinking margaritas in a Tex-Mex restaurant. They were a few months shy of being legal to drink. People were outraged that their secret service detail didn’t stop them from drinking. IIRC, the head of the SS stated that there had to be a level of trust between agents and the people they protect to keep them from sneaking away unprotected. I would imagine the same applies here.
I’d be willing to bet those RPOs spend a large portion of their day giving each other the side eye over her antics.
I thought I remembered coming across a vintage bee brooch with a crown on it but didn't see any after a quick google search. You could always combine 2 brooch images in photoshop (there are plenty of crown brooches) and crown a bee yourself!
My dogs often have their mouths slightly open when going for walks even in winter. Definitely not always panting although I live in the southern US. I call it smiling.
I think the closed mouths make M's dogs **look** sad. They both look a bit overweight too. (If that is Guy, he looks like he gained weight since last photographed in that coat.)
"He was seen leaving the Boeing 747 by the back staircase wearing a blue beanie and jeans with a backpack over his shoulders. Two security guards escorted him. At the end of the near-10-hour Boeing 747 flight he was whisked away in a black minivan to continue his journey with a short 25-minute hop over to Victoria on Vancouver Island. Harry, 35, was then due to be driven to Mille Fleurs, the $14 million oceanside home for an emotional reunion with wife Meghan and 8-month-old son Archie."
If you follow military news, you'll know that the Russian Air Force runs flights every night testing NATO military defenses. I used to be terrified on a regular basis by some plane flying waaaay too low between 9 and 10pm - I'd think, oh no! here comes the war!
Flight Tracker showed me that it was a regularly-scheduled commercial flight from London. Why they insist on using that annoying flight path I'll never know.
Which leads me to wonder, how much of "family enforcer" might be active in the retired 98 year old goat? Because Harry losing all his military titles and military appointments seems very much a Philip fingerprint. Harry's succession to Captain General of the Royal Marines was a high honor and a position personally held and revered by the Duke of Edinburgh who himself is a veteran. Harry spit on that sacred duty by ditching the IRA victims memorial to attend The Lion King premiere, an offence his grandfather would not forgive.
Furthermore, the name Mountbatten-Windsor had been a deeply personal wish on PP's part and was a particular concession given by the queen on his behalf as his legacy to the family. Lots of reasons why the title Duke of Sussex was not rescinded, not the least of which I suspect is that Philip doesn't want Meghan or Harry prancing about with the moniker Mountbatten-Windor cheapening its value into some marketing tool. As long as they are "the Sussexes," it forms a separation from the family and preserves some semblance of dignity for the rest of the family away and apart from whatever venture the two idiots might cook up.
If we can see that Meg's baby looks oddly immobile, Oprah can see that the baby looks oddly immobile. She's looking at the same photos we are.
And the Disney people can see the photos. And the Oscar invitation people can see them. Even Elton John can see them.
Not good for Meg's future red-carpet prospects.
The speech was awful and for so many reasons. Not only was it totally inappropriate to rant and make it about him, but it was poorly written to boot.☹️
However Meghan and that park walk, well so much for wanting ‘privacy’! πSmiling and looking straight at the camera isn’t avoiding or showing dislike for the (staged) camera attention. Poor Archie, he looks uncomfortable and isn’t even in the carrier properly.
What a complete joke she is, royal life was only good enough for the platform and money! Let’s see how long Harry last without the guidance and rudder of his old life and family. He has no role, no talent and no job. A man servant to his wife and nothing more. π

There is new W&K video from the Buckingham Palace event, just have to keep scrolling. It shows them having fun, being much more natural. It occurred to me that because this is their first solo event and a big deal, they might have actually been nervous at first. Anyway, Catherine looks lovely, and they did quite well:

The latest pic of Meghan makes me want to be sick. Her skills as an actress reminds so much of an after school drama club. The whole baby thing I wonder whether Harry has given her a hard instruction not to take the baby out for pictures, an instruction she knows she cannot break. Hence the doll in a sling, but her little joke. I think there is a real child , but the age is hard to disguise. Can’t have an 8 month old toddling down the path (although some children walk very early).
What does the future hold? I think Harry is going to deny anything is wrong for a long time yet. Like Wallis Simpson did for David, Meghan is going to micro manage his new life, because he’s going to need it. However, looking at his daily timetable of nothing more than Archie and walking the dogs I think he’ll get bored fast and if he Google’s life in Britain all he’s going to see is pictures of his U.K. family doing things he once used to do. Not to mention watching his wife get glammed up as she goes off to do all her business meetings and appearances, which he doesn’t need to attend because he’ll only embarrass her by not knowing as much as she thinks she does.
