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?

I had a close look at the photo and expanded the image - that child’s face is pure white!!!! There is no way that is real or she mates with a ghost.
It's a doll. There are pictures on Tumblr where you can see his right hand being held upright by some kind of strap around her neck. There's hardly any weight on the shoulder straps, the right one is halfway down her arm and it's loose but that's the direction she has the "baby" slung. A hundred years ago or even less and they'd have locked her up by now.

I just snorted coffee out my nose lol
DT readers have a rare opportunity to comment this morning in a Kate fashion article, and they're making use of it. One Meghan defender writes of the "pointless vitriol heaped on" the Sussexes and of Kate "Lucky for her that she 'arrived' in the royal entourage when she was really too young for the press to get away with bullying her even by their own low standards - amazing in this age of MeToo that an independent, hardworking, successful woman in her thirties is fair game for a sustained, full-on onslaught of nastiness."
I have responded "What you call bullying is valid criticism of Meghan and came from the public via online comments far more than the actual media coverage. Kate was also criticised by the public for years, to the same degree but for far longer than Meghan but since she has raised her game this has changed. Meghan wished to arrange things to lessen public scrutiny but keep all her privileges. That is what is driving the current saga. Thankfully she has not succeeded." I expect my comment will vanish soon ...
I keep thinking of that superb novel Woman in White, written when dastardly Victorian men and their pet doctors could quietly lock up their wives in convenient asylums. Except it would be in reverse with Meghan. Instead of being on the edge of my seat, worried about the woman and praying for her freedom, I'm on the other side. "She's over there! Quick! Oh, and grab the baby!"
Chris ship was having a field day earlier on twitter about how a pap pic like this would never have happened in England. He made several tweets about it.
Celebs can't arrange for pap sessions in the UK? I thought that was something Katie Price did all the time.
If this is the case, when was it taken? Which also means Archie was smaller and younger.
Hope the Queen has a plan. Judas, I mean Harry, is full throttle ahead.
Re Meghan's pap walk: I find this seriously disturbing on so many levels. Either this is a real baby, in which case I feel terribly sorry for the child and the way he is being treated OR this is a doll, in which case Meghan should be committed. She makes Michael Jackson look like a good parent.
I am leaning towards this being a doll, for all the reasons mentioned by other posters above, but also the lack of a diaper on 'Archie' and the legs which are disproportionately long and also a lot longer than Lake Archie in the New Years instagram photo.
A few other curious points: why are there no RPO's walking in front of Meghan? Of course they would be blocking the view in the photos, but shouldn't their objective be protecting Meghan and Archie? Also, Meghan's face looks totally different from the photos at Canada House last week. She looks more like she did last year or even before the 'pregnancy'. This situation is seriously messing with my mind - or maybe it's my feverish condition. Lastly, I am worried about the dogs. They look so sad. As if they are shouted at a lot.
Yes there's pap sessions in the UK but there's an agreement with the BRF not to use pap shots when featuring royal children unless they have permission, and by extension, a royal mother would get a lot of flack for actually enabling such shots as she'd weaken the agreement for the other royal children.
this is one of the many crazy aspects of the Sussex's new way of life. Now they've left British shores, Archie is far more exposed to the media. Very sad that his 'mother' actually wants this. I don't care how in thrall Harry is to her. If this is his baby, and he sees her parading him on a regular basis, he surely can't stand by? His eyes have to be opened to the true Meghan. Surely.
Nothing is stronger, for a normal person, than the need to protect a baby. I was overwhelmed and even frightened by the love I felt for my baby niece, even though I'm not a mother. I'd have willingly died for her in an instant. Still would.
We have white number plates in Britain.

I live in the uk......The car number plates at the back are yellow
Some comments defending M that seem kind of weak:
Get over it, it's her kid and she can hold it upside down if she likes.
Get lost. If the baby wasn't secure he would fall out. He didn't so you are WRONG.
You need a psychiatrist.
Perhaps you should have been more specific then, it was a blanket statement. 😂😳 Regardless, I highly doubt the photo was taken in the UK, they don’t pap royal children on unofficial outings. Meghan wouldn’t have been smiling either, she’s clearly very happy with being photographed. 😏
Also, why oh why, with all this yammering on about security woukd they say whete Harry is going? Like the neighbourhood practically. Things are so upside down, sideways strange.
I’m one of the few nutties who believe Meghan gave birth. However, even I don’t buy this photo etc. I agree with the DM comments, he doesn’t appear to be wearing a nappy and he looks lifeless. 🤔
Also, I was initially disappointed that the palace let Harry participate in the Africa summit, even at a low level, but after reviewing the press today and seeing William in sit down talks with African presidents and the family mingling at Buck House, I think it is a message to him that this is what you gave up. While we are here, you are there. Plus, it was Africa, which is one of his pet projects, and the wives were there, which means that Meghan could have potentially been there meeting world leaders. They gave him a taste and sent him on his way. With her creepy papp walk, the message to the world is, we gave up on the chance to have real influence for the chance to get papped walking in the woods. Her desire to show that “she’s now okay” has backfired.
I feel the same.
Very Pippa-esque
Childs comfort compromised to allow a clear shot of filler face
H allowing his child to be papped after all the Di trauma
What did the Queen think when she was brought her morning newspapers
Nicely timed to bump his brothers engagement of the front pages
I would love to know what the RPO's said to each other when they came off duty, as they sat there painfully uncurling their toes.....

Oh I forgot about William and Catherine’s engagement last night. Yes, Meghan out in full PR force for wanting to push the Cambridge’s off the front pages. Sad and oh so desperate. 🙄 She has to be centre stage. 🤩
The press should ignore the Sussex’s; it would drive Meghan demented. 🤪
The thing is, babies can be unbelievably strong at 8 months. My son was 9lbs at birth, so he was a big lad right from the get-go, and there's no way I would have been able to lug him around like that. You could hold him only for as long as he wanted to be held. After that, he'd wrestle and push so hard he would have to go in his buggy.
Where's Archie's buggy?
I think that Harry does know that she wants the attention and she wants to be photographed, but she wants 100% control of it. It is obvious that she called the paps and staged the photographs taken and published.
I wonder at what stage he will realise that she is not actually interested in female empowerment, the environment, poverty, and so on. They are popular woke issues and great opportunities for publicity. What she is really interested in is travel (elite travel), food, wine and fashion .. and appearing at popular events with famous people to get those photographs.
Did you see that Peter Phillips is advertising milk in some eastern country? Welcome to your future Harry!
Yes. The photographs of the Cambridge children round about that age ... they're waving their arms and wriggling. Archie just hangs there. And the photos from the side where she is looking down at the kid, you can see he is not looking up at her. There is no interaction. That poor child is being used as a photo op!
Your post made me feel MUCH better. She could have been in Buckingham Palace in yet another new dress costing a fortune. Instead she's an apparently negligent mother hiking in the woods. I think at this rate the bodyguards will be to protect the public from her rather than the other way around.
So you agree the number plates are yellow then? I don't think they photoshopped a car!!!
There are pap's in the Uk, if you phone them.
"The thing is, babies can be unbelievably strong at 8 months. My son was 9lbs at birth, so he was a big lad right from the get-go, and there's no way I would have been able to lug him around like that."
Well, in SA when Archie was FOUR months younger he certainly was thrashing about when in M's lap "meeting" Tutu. But he hung like a limp rag other times. And supposedly slept 11 hours straight to get to SA. Odd.
Also, I used a similar baby carrier for my children on a daily basis and I had to stop carrying them that way by six months, as they had become too heavy by then. And I'm six feet tall. So for someone as petite as Meghan to be carrying an unusually large eight-month-old by one strap and walking two dogs at the same time is quite a feat.
How can anyone defend her holding this baby like this?? She is nearly strangling him! And the dogs , man they look sad and uninterested. Since when do dogs not care about being outside? I wish the video was clearer so we could see the PPOs facial reactions.
At some point, and I believe that point is getting closer, I'm going to seriously consider the Harry & Meghan story as an intelligence op. The entire story is fake.
Agree. These hiking pictures and video have pushed things to a new level. Even the strongest Harkle supporters can now see with their own eyes that something strange is going on.
Argh, it’s going to get so much worse!! 😩Neither Meghan or Harry have a leg to stand on now regarding their and Archie’s privacy. The tied has to turn unfavourable against them now with their wailing. 😏
The video is odd too. When she turns around she certainly says something to the PPOs behind her. Asking them is this ok, is that the permissible boundary line that she has been allowed to walk to and she is confirming that?
The dogs look sad because their leashes we're just handed over to Meghan before the paps started clicking and they are not used to her, or have been shouted into submission.
But the smile!! Oh God it's so cringy. I'm embarrassed for her! She has clearly forgotten the art of pap walking while she was in London. Probably one of the reasons she was have night terrors and anxiety. Good that her brave warrior of her husband got her out of the toxic non-pappy royal world.
That cannot be a real baby ... She would have to hunch her shoulders under such a weight. Then again she is very strong with all that yoga and pilates and blah blah blah ...
As for the men following her, why do they HAVE to be PROs? If she is doing her own promotion they could have been just paid minders for the photo-shoot and the dogs could well be hired for the occasion, too.
As many of you have already said she is truly sick but who dares tell her to seek medical attention?
Re. The men behind her being paid minders. My first thought was also that these two men don't look very professional if in case they are her protection officers. So maybe she did hire them? Firstly, anyone can see they are not doing their job of protecting very well. Their body language is also off, like they are either not interested or don't see this as a threat. Now, if it is an unexpected pap turning up out of the blue on just a regular walk then they should have been alert, miffed, trying to spot the picture taking. But they seem casual and unbothered like they are just two regular dudes taking a stroll in a park.
They also have a beer gut. 😜 But I didn't want to body shame an already overworked RPO. (Looks like I did though. Oops. I pulled a Meg! 😝
I cannot accept that these two men are working on behalf of the BRF or that they remotely belong to the Scotland Yard. They look so sloppy!
The whole incident is staged and if you think that it is for "promotional" reasons then the director is pants!!! I read somewhere that MM was even eager to direct a film or such "grand design" - well, I don't see anyone in their right mind hiring her.
Now I am not sure she is normal or even narcissistic. She shows no remorse causing huge distress to three elderly people, breaking apart a family, insulting the whole country and facilitating racial divisions. On the contrary, she is thriving on it.
I am no doctor but she may have a serious mental disorder which is worse than narcissism. If she was living next to me I would seriously consider moving. It is not funny any more.
Today show reporter (not Keir Simmons this time) just made the point that they’ve left behind the UK protections against pap photos in private life and with kids, drawing contrast between these photos with the total lack of photos of M walking dogs or Archie in Windsor. Does that feed M’s agenda or is she so totally gone that her sole objective is to outshine the Cambridges?
Again, I really have no idea. It’s all bonkers. Such a risky move for the RF to sit on any story that affects a child. I get plausible deniability, but if there is a real baby who is not being cared for by a sane, responsible adult, public forgiveness will be scant. If I were a Brit, I think that would be my red line.
What’s the feasibility of making any public security funds contingent on IRS records and psych evals, LOL?
"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."
That's why I gave a shout out to Roger Hargreaves in an earlier post. HIs cute little books teach toddlers about character. Archie won't be learning any of that from his parents.
Looks like, but I'm not that fluent in crazy (although I have worked with people that speak it as a native language).
The doggos are heartbreaking. In all of the photos they look so listless. Dogs of those breeds should be bouncing around. We had a beagle growing up, and he was crazy. Heck, I have two Pekingese and a Pomeranian, and they go NUTS on their leashes.
I think she's going to find that people will lose interest in her and Harry very quickly. And I think they have a VERY short sell-by date in the USA. She may think she'll be able to come here and play the Lady of the Manor, but that will NOT go over well here. We don't have titles in this country, and I don't know of a single person who wants to change that. I like reading about royalty, but I don't want them living here in the USA.
Well, I say let her! If she wants to direct a movie, may she get one. If she wants to act in a movie, may she get one. Let's get it done with already and make this carry woman's dream happen. Let us let her live dream. She has been hustling too much just to see herself in a blockbuster.
Plus, at least the world will get proof that she is completely devoid of any actual talent.
Thank you for that pic Poppy! That was my absolute favorite!! I've been searching for it!!
Nope, her supporters on the DM are commenting that she looks happy. They don't even seem to SEE how the baby is not being supported properly. It's really quite alarming how truly blind people are to her faults.
Bots, yes. People, no.
A lot of people are castigating the Queen and Charles for being too soft and generous with this pair in giving them anything whatsoever beyond a forced march to the Tower of London. But we can see with our own eyes (and hear for ourselves via Harry's 'farewell (FU Granny!) speech) that these two will not be dominating the celebrity world with their woke greatness and cashing in hand over fist. They are imploding on the world stage. HM gave them a Spring 2020 deadline to stop using HRHs. Why 'spring' and not 'immediately'? Because the divorce seems inevitable before summer hits. Hence Rachel's desperate ploy gamboling in the woods with a doll. And MERCHING, too. Who wants that baby snugli, not that we can even see it?
Also, in the 2.5 years we've seen Rachel in all kinds of *interesting* get-ups, have we *ever* known her to braid her hair? Does she really think a change in hairstyle is going to blow the Duchess of Cambridge in her knock-out red dress off the style list in her favor?
"Reevaluating in a year" is code for "In one year, we hope to have Harry back with us. Hopefully this nonsense will be over by Royal Ascot and not tank the entire summer."
That's a best-case scenario. Worst case, I don't even want to write it. Let's see if Harry survives til his next birthday.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have issued a warning over continued harassment by paparazzi photographers as they start their new life in Canada out of the spotlight.
It comes after images of Meghan were published in the media showing her taking a stroll through a public park on Vancouver Island.
https://news.sky.com/story/harry-and-meghan-threaten-legal-action-over-canada-paparazzi-shots-11914112
Oh, please. Those photographers didn't just decide to take a stroll through Horth Hill park. She called them and the Harkles are trying to deflect from that fact.
I agree with @camper that Harry may have put the kibosh on pap pictures of Archie. Which "forced" smirks into using a doll. It may also explain Harry's demeanor when deplaning. He would have read about her antics (and the commentary ) on the plane. She could explain it all as a "joke", which would also cover her stupid grin at the camera.
And Harry, the dolt, would fall for that.
I'll bet the reunion was a bit chilly. She didn't bother to pick him up (more devaluation) since he didn't bring her everything she wanted, and he would be angry at the pap walks.
I have a question about the Peter Philips milk thing. Why isn't there not outrage? He is clearly trading on the RF for money.
Keep going, Rachel. The men in the white coats will be coming to take you away (presuming that MI6 can find out where you actually are) any day now. Just keep going. Then there's that little matter of your dad gearing up to testify against you in your harebrained suit against one of the largest media empires in Britain. Perhaps your very good (ex) pal Piers Morgan will be called to testify as well. He is, as I'm sure you recall, a Daily Mail employee. What exactly did you try to hustle with him on that 'drinks' date? I'm sure he's eager to spill the tea, dear. Not to mention all the tea dear Daddy has on you.
Its name is Karma, and it's coming for you, Rachel. Good luck getting a job at the drive-thru at Tim Horton's by the time all your chickens have come home to roost.
Don't know whether hiking baby is a doll or not. We've seen pics of real & very cute babies. The Archie we saw with Bishop Tutu was adorably active & interested in his surroundings. He reached out to the Tutus in a very endearing & lively way. It was normal baby behavior. The poor creature in Megs' baby sling could be sedated (Benadryl, or some other drug as other posters have mentioned), or a doll. Babies are very responsive to stimuli, & move their heads & arms vigorously. Google pics of Catherine holding little 8 month old George in Australia. as they disembark from a plane. She looks as though she can barely keep him from jumping out of her arms, & she's a tall, athletic woman. That's what a normal, healthy 8-9 month old looks like. So doll, or sedated, either way it's very disturbing. Why wasn't the baby in one of those pricey strollers the Harkles were supposedly gifted? So she could hide the baby's face? Very strange.
I also was worried about the dogs. (Would she even sedate them?) Hopefully, they're just elderly & a little overfed.
Oh, & regarding lifelike baby mannequins. I once saw a story on CNN about the motorized mannequins movie & tv crews use when it's impossible to use a real infant for safety reasons, or no suitable real baby can be found. They're amazingly lifelike, make noises & move their body parts, & they cost thousands of dollars. They're often used in birth scenes, because, let's face it, what responsible parent is going to allow a film crew use their tiny fragile newborn?
DM Photos supplied by splash news, known as a paparazzi agency. This is Megs kicking up some dust. She called the paps and now she complains about them.
One half of the demoted duo loves being in the news and with photos even!
Oh brother. Harry pitched a fit over the photos and Meg denied denied denied. I sort of figured she had to get that photo op in before H returned. She is not going to be able to stand this new life with H in it 24/7.
H earnestly wants to prove to Granny that this cockamamie plan can work. Meg intentionally messes it up before Day 1 even begins. Bless H’s poor little heart.
Anyone have time to reverse image search her POs today? I do not but can do it later.
I have no idea what pap shots like these would be worth. Do any Nutties have an insight into this?
Every item listed in the DM article, along with brands. Not even subtle.
Canada casual! Meghan Markle dons her favorite $160 plaid duck boots and $98 Lululemon leggings as she takes her two dogs and baby Archie out for a stroll in a $180 carrier
.. $98 Lululemon 'Align' leggings, a navy zip-up, and a knit beanie, topping off her look with Kamik's $160 'Sienna' boots
She has been wearing the plaid duck boots since December 2016, and they appeared to be her go-to galoshes during her last winter in Toronto
...$38 Madewell beanie
...Archie was bundled up in $25 organic cotton two-piece from H&M, a $45 striped hat from Hudson's Bay
Yes, the DM just happened to have those details after the paps stalked her in the woods. As bloody if.
I hope Her Maj & Chas are having a good laugh over these today as they discuss how "petty" it was for her to try to upstage W&K and their first appearance. I'm sure Wills was happy about it.
Tied should have been ‘tide’! 😳
Again: M is basic. If this is her new merching, what a nosedive.
(She is also in need of psychiatric care and I am not making light of that.)
I agree with Nutty's post upthread: Oprah, Beyoncé, Elton John, everyone is seeing the same pics as we are.
Even a few commenters on CB today seemed concerned. Don't worry, they were immediately blasted with the usual "You're a troll" responses.
If I were them, I'd hop to it finding somewhere to stay in CA where it appears they are paying the rent. They appear ridiculous going on about "financial independence" so get a 2-bedroom apartment like the rest of us! Staying at a huge mansion just makes them look like grifters.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5935483/Guy-Pelly-took-blame-Harrys-teenage-drug-taking-royal-godfather.html
I'm afraid I can't picture Harry possessing enough agency and assertiveness in his marriage to put the kibosh on anything or 'force' Rachel to do anything. She does what she likes and tells him what to do. Her use of the doll is Rachel gloating that *she* controls the narrative of Archie and there's nothing anybody, least of all her husband, can do about it.
Also, more like as not, she does not have any live baby. Otherwise, she could have *really* taken the wind out of William's sails with a cute video of Archie in his stroller, playing with the dogs. Not having an animate kid in her possession somewhat limits her options to the inert kind.
>>>It may also explain Harry's demeanor when deplaning.<<<
Do you mean that incredibly fuzzy photo of a guy in a knit cap that sorta looks like Harry walking on the asphalt? Over on Skippy's blog they were having a right old larf about that, since Skippy (who is convinced Rachel reads her stuff) had put in a *specific request* to see a pic of Harry deplaning on the tarmac earlier in the day, and *et voila*, there it is!!
I admittedly do not fly often, but I have been in Vancouver airport, which is ginormous. Harry was arriving on a transatlantic/transcontinental flight of some 9+ hours into one of the largest airports in North America. It would have been a very large plane, and he is still, despite the demotion, a VIP. Yet, here he is, rather forlornly, trailing along on the tarmac *all by his lonesome*. Not another soul in sight. Wouldn't his protection officer be in the shot, too? Also, VIP or no, he'd still have to go through formalities at the international arrivals terminal, customs and whatnot. No longer Royal, you see, and certainly not on official Crown business.
A large plane would pull up to a gate and have its passengers disembark down a skyway. This is not 1953 in Nairobi. I had to walk on the tarmac once--boarding a puddle jumper from Portland to Seattle. Our plane seated about 35 or so. One attendant. We hit turbulence and I thought we might go down before we ever reached the big plane.
So I call bollocks and zippity-doo-dah on the 'deplaning' photo.
>>>I'll bet the reunion was a bit chilly. She didn't bother to pick him up (more devaluation) since he didn't bring her everything she wanted, and he would be angry at the pap walks.<<<
Yes, Haz is now facing up to the reality that he is no longer as precious to Rachel as her Pilates instructor and not entitled to the same perks such as a ride from the airport.
Of course, if Rach was not actually at Harry's destination--or same country, even--her absence would be explained. I'm still not convinced that she is in Canada. A number of commentators point to the UK-style license plates in the 'park' and the absence of snow, which would be curious since they've had record snowfalls in Victoria since last week. Yet there is no snow to speak of in the 'hike' photos.
I hope to God Above, in Whom I believe, that Rachel does not have custody of any living children or dogs. I'm surprised she didn't show us stuffed pooches on that 'walk'. I wouldn't put it past her. It is easier to hire rental dogs for photo shoots than babies. The listlessness of the dogs might be explained by being handed over to a frightening woman they don't actually know. I would not trust Rachel to keep a houseplant alive, never mind feeling loved and nurtured.
I am not surprised that there's a suit against the paps in Canada. One has to wonder if one could be considered "upset" when they're smiling like a cat that ate the canary? I've seen some actual celebrities who aren't too happy to being snapped, and they're faces look a lot stormier than Megs did. She looked pretty happy with herself.
(My birthday's in October, too. Great month for a birthday!)
>>>@Hikari I don't know what the laws are regarding the press in Canada but in the US this lawsuit would be worse than useless.<<<
Indeed. I think it will be tossed out in Canada too, since Rachel hired the 'intrusive papps' her very self. Does she look like she's surprised/upset/intruded upon as she makes a beeline straight for the lenses with her dangling bebe and two comatose-seeming doggos?
This is the Britney moment I have been waiting for. Maybe next time Rach will strip off all her clothes to gambol in the woods and then complain her privacy is breached.
This is all she knows how to do . . manipulate reality through pictures. There's no 'There' there. But in the last two years we have seen increasing escalation of her recklessness and sloppiness in execution. Back when she was arranging photo shoots of her food on Instagram, it wasn't a big deal. The Tig was her natural level. She reached for the sun and it scorched her, because she really can't do anything well. There is no interior authentic self to draw upon--it is all a construct. Rachel is like a Stepford Wife who's learned to push her own buttons and has gotten it into her artificial brain that she's real. She is Rachel Meghan 2000 (like HAL, only she's capable of moving around in space and time.)
@Texshan, I've had dogs all my life, including beagles and labs, and I've dog sat long-term for other breeds. I myself have 2 labs again right now(9 and 7). When I saw the photo with the 2 dogs, I felt so sad. My first thought was that they look cowed and are afraid of her. A lab would be excited to be outside(even at 9 years old), same with a beagle. Walkies is the highlight of their day. I don't see any white around the lab's muzzle, so it likely isn't that old. She is also barely holding those leashes-risky for 2 dogs that would perk up and/or chase after a squirrel or chipmunk in a flash. It's upsetting. Dogs don't deserve to have her inflicted on them. I remember when she visited the animal shelter in the UK-you could tell the dog didn't like her and wanted away. They can tell.
I won't even go into the "baby". Cheers, y'all.

I agree with earlier Nutties who wrote about many people in the Duchy leading hard working lives, paying their rents to support that pair. There was a man on that recent Duchy documentary whose shoemaking business burned down and was pathetically grateful about receiving £2K from the Duchy to save his livelihood. £2K to save a man's business compared to £90K for a beige maternity caftan.
Ha! I can see her dragging along a pair of stuffed dogs on wheels, laughing to herself at how clever she is!
"Harry arrives at Vancouver Airport earlier yesterday, after travelling from London Heathrow on a British Airways flight."
The picture shows Harry and passengers exiting the plane down 6 or 7 steps. Are we to believe that British Airways cross-Atlantic flights are made with planes this small?
I think the BA flight was to Montreal. He then caught a connecting flight to Vancouver and the photograph is of him leaving that plane.
>>>Perhaps Harry was in on the pap shots as well. Megs arranged it with SplashWorld, profits 50/50 or whatever the arrangement was and M&H pocket the rest . . .<<<
Stretching our minds back to a year ago (Gosh, that seems so long ago) . . Haz's first in a series of salvos against the intrusive media . the lawsuit he filed agains *Splash News* for a helicopter shot of 'their rented property in the Cotswolds'. Remember that?
Same company as took the shots yesterday. Meg's preferred papp walk company, as their logo is all over 'her candid photos'.
What kind of sleazy game is this? Celebrity hires photography firm to take pictures and tells photography firm when, where and exactly what type of pictures to take. Pictures are duly published, gleaning the celebrity some temporary attention. Then some time later (record-breaking, in this case, not even 24 hours) Celebrity accuses the firm *he/she expressly hired* of 'breaching their privacy' and takes outlet to court.
What's in it for Splash News to keep doing this? Harry and Rachel are incredibly litigious for two 'celebrities' who do nothing besides get their photos taken and give asinine statements to papers. They yell about wanting to have a private life, but without media attention they do not exist or have any clue about how to live 'a private life'.
My question for all these media firms that are catering to this duo's delusions of importance--and that is what they are--delusions . . WHY?? They are only going to waste your time and money with these baseless lawsuits.
"Harry and Meghan's lawyers also highlighted serious safety concerns about how the paparazzi had been driving in Canada "
https://news.sky.com/story/harry-and-meghan-threaten-legal-action-over-canada-paparazzi-shots-11914112.
And since Harry wasn't there to see this driving, smirks had to "report" it to him, using every trigger word in her vocabulary. Utterly cruel manipulation!
Please, somebody take them to court to prove she set it up!!
H&M again, sponsors of the BabySussex South African tour.
Hey, it's organic cotton, y'all. Because Rachel is, first and foremost, an eco-warrior deeply concerned about the environment. There couldn't be a bigger FU to the Royal Family with the pages of the 'agreement' barely cooled off the printer.
But, as Harry assured a roomful of people representing an AIDS charity, he and Rachel are deeply committed to a lifetime of service . . . . (to themselves)
********
In years to come, the books and articles and documentaries will make for interesting reading in hindsight, but we are living this incredible adventure right now. Harry's mental issues are somewhat understandable, and mostly contained until he hitched his wagon to hers. But her . . how does such a blatantly insane woman still get the world to dance to her tune? Publish her picture over and over? It's done with no sense of irony.
Let's see what happens in the DM lawsuit. Maybe the game is 'let's play along with her ravenous Narcissism til then', then we will delight in eating her alive in her lies." Because if not, the Daily Mail has a weirdly symbiotic and masochistic relationship with its own adversary.
Question to ponder: now that Rach and H. are out of the Firm, will the Palace be obligated to provide its own lawyers for her defense? I shouldn't think so. Rach will have to dig deep into Harry's trust fund to buy her own.
These two make the Duke and Duchess of Windsor look classy and whip-smart.
Or with her is it more just a "the Duchess is wearing Zara again" type thing?
'TOWER OF STRENGTH' Prince Harry ‘relying on Megxit advice from Meghan Markle’s mum’ in absence of his own mother.
Apparently they are so close and have been for ages, because if you didn’t know, his own mother died and he’s not had a mother figure to go to for advice.
Included in the story is that he’s not stepping back from work for military veterans! He doesn’t have to talk the company line anymore! Wonder if Buck Palais has got Harry’s memo on that one?
1. He is very self-absorbed. He used a charity event for children in Africa living with HIV/AIDS to talk about his tawdry personal (self-inflicted) drama.
2. He did not get the deal they wanted as set out in their personal manifesto. He is blaming his family for that and angry with them, because him and Megsy do not have a Plan B, and even Plan A was a fantasy with no actuals in place.
3. Subconsciously, cutting himself off from his family and life is hurting him a lot.
4. He is still completely deluded abut Megsy. The tarot readers have seen that when she dumps him he is going to be completely gutted, blaming the media, the public, his family, and it is going to take a lot of introspection for him to see the truth (if he ever does get to that state).
She really is a piece of work isn't she?
Now I am not sure she is normal or even narcissistic. She shows no remorse causing huge distress to three elderly people, breaking apart a family, insulting the whole country and facilitating racial divisions. On the contrary, she is thriving on it.
Indeed. She can have more than one personality disorder. I think she also thrives on putting one over on others. Her inappropriate smirking in the hiking photos reminds me of "duping delight" where someone manipulative takes pleasure in deceiving others. It's a real tell with psychopaths, for instance.
The shot that includes the child's face convinces me it's a doll. Pale, without expression, and....just not alive. We all are creeped out because we're dealing with the interior world of a disordered individual externalised. Any normal person would be creeped out, and that feeling is a solid red flag for us, something to trust.
I never used to bother looking at all the clothes in those boxes as part of the story, totally not interested, but with Kate it was never an instant thing. Sometimes you’d read the story online and then a while later they’d add the box with details of what she was wearing. Normally a British designer/high street item, easy to find and price up I guess.
I think the difference with Markle is that via Meghan’s Mirror, not that I’ve looked at it and someone can probably readily correct me, her wardrobe was often on their page at the exact time she was arriving at an event. So either they’re psychic or tipped off. Plus did she get a percentage of any sales?
Now as a Brit I’ve actually got no problem any member of the Royal family wearing British designers and that getting mentioned in the press. After all they are showcasing something from a U.K. designer/shop, so adding to our countries coffers.
"4. He is still completely deluded abut Megsy. The tarot readers have seen that when she dumps him he is going to be completely gutted, blaming the media, the public, his family, and it is going to take a lot of introspection for him to see the truth (if he ever does get to that state)."
I have to admit I have not sought out what taro card readers say about the situation because it has not been 'my thing' per se, but now I Am Interested in what they say/predict...could you share what you found insightful from them (as I couldn't begin to know which one to learn from).
Thankyou, And thank you for anyone else to contribute on this.
Americans are tired of the default label of "racist" every time we disagree with bad behavior/manners. These two morons will probably pay off People and TMZ to give them positive spin, but by and large the public isn't going to care about these two layabouts preaching to us about thriving not surviving, and how much they need another vacation. They'll be a hot topic for a few months (and not in a positive way) then they'll just be another piece of fodder in the tabloids.
Blows my ever-loving mind how someone can come from a family with every opportunity in the world and grow up to be so useless. He's going to be 36 this year. Have some self-respect! You're a Grade A mooch who has the audacity to complain about your life. GET OVER YOURSELF!

Thank you for the input on is it real. I kept looking at the whole thing and thinking: am I not really seeing what I ought to be seeing? Besides, wasn't there some news tidbit about how interested the baby was at that age at the Canadian woods?
My personal thoughts are that she doesn't have access to the real baby (as in prior video in SA) so she takes this out to yank chains and get herself out there. Could well be ours and then again, it could be the BRF regarding some detail about the baby that we all are not privy to.
H homecoming - hmm, wonder how that went?
SwampWoman - not fluent in crazy - made me laugh. Thanks, needed that.
Harry ultimately landed on the Island. These are pics from that deplaning; he was flying WestJet after the 747 to Vancouver. But here's the kicker from the DM:
Officials at the airport closed the third-floor public viewing area shortly before he landed. The duke was then driven the last couple of miles in a silver SUV to the £11million oceanside home for an emotional family reunion.
Talk about being treated "royally" even without the HRH. Nothing has changed. I wonder if it really will.
He’s still a working royal until Spring, so until then he will have all the privileges etc. It will be interesting to see what exactly changes when he’s a non-royal. 🥴
1. The lack of visible snow. Rachel could have had these pictures taken at any time in the last month.
2. The lackadaisical attitude of her security, trailing far in the back, on the phone, etc. If Rach is essentially taking a stroll around the back yard. That isolated property has no nearby neighbors at all.
3. Possibly UK license plates on the visible cars, if the RPOs imported their own vehicles.
4. The lack of any other visible walkers in 'park' and half-assed way she flung the baby carrier on. A few steps in the yard do not require the same diligence as an extended outing in public.
She's had nothing to do these last 8 weeks but concoct schemes like this.
*********
At some point her facade of cards will have all crashed down. Actually I hope she *does* get a one-hour sit-down with Oprah or Gayle--an entire program devoted to her. Let's see her live, and she if she can hold it together for an extended period. Look for a Tom Cruise Jumping the Sofa moment.
I think she's decompressed too far to pull herself back into the semblance of sanity. I look forward to seeing her lose her $%@* on TV. I think that's what it's going to take. Heavily staged still photos still leave a bit of room for doubt that what we are seeing isn't real.
Interesting if true. Sure helps to explain their numbers jump ( aside from the bots)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QauAPc8dItc
Horrid, just horrid. 😣I hope it goes up in flames for all of them. The royal family may have one almighty mess that comes back and haunts them forever. They’ve played a terrible hand in a game where a far bigger mess could be their downfall. 😔
Are any of the tarot card readers on YouTube that I can watch? 🙂
Oh, I just bet it was emotional. Crazy people get REALLY emotional when thwarted. I would have given her a much longer cooling-off period. Maybe he really does have a low IQ.
Tarot readings ... they have been accurate about most of what has happened. Followers have been saying that this break from the BRF reads like the divorce that they have been predicting for many months. Nope, they say, they still see separation and divorce in the marriage.
One very accurate tarot guru saw that Megsy was done with the BRF just after the South African tour and predicted that she was going to separate herself from them.
Harry is throwing everything away and throwing himself under the bus to try and keep her. The ironic thing is that the marriage is not in a good space and he has been distant for quite a while now. He is stubborn though and will not walk away from the marriage and do increasingly desperate things to make her happy and become more unhappy himself.
The timeline is much shorter than what some commentators have been predicting in the media (up to another 5 years being mentioned by some commentators). Tarot readers say that they will hide the separation for as long as possible, but rumours are going to start circulating within the next few months (tarot readers are sharing a time line while admitting that they are not sure of the accuracy of their methods and so are sharing so everyone can learn about using the tarot for such a purpose).
What else have they seen?
1. Harry will be gutted and go off somewhere to lick his wounds (he will not see the light and end the marriage; he will be dumped). He will leave divorce negotiations to the lawyers.
2. If Harry does some honest introspection, he will learn and grow (grow up) from this experience and there will be a second, good marriage.
3. Megsy is going to be fine and prosper (but not the global superstar billionaire that she is fantasising about). There is another marriage for her.
4. A second baby for the Sussexes would delay the separation and divorce but not stop it. The most reliable tarot reader has seen that a second baby is very unlikely. The Archie conception, pregnancy and birth was a lot more difficult and stressful than she showed and she is reluctant to put herself through that again.
5. Although they will get joint custody for Archie, the kid will end up spending most of his time with Harry. Megsy is not a natural mother. She will use Archie for commercial purposes and although she can be warm and loving to the kid, it is not consistent and she will drop him when she wants to go off and do her own thing (we have already seen this).
6. Contrary to news reports of a reconciliation, it will take years for William to forgive his brother and reconcile. Anything that seems to contradict this is PR. Kate will be ready immediately to embrace Harry and Archie and bring them into her family.
7. The Queen or Charles, or both, will dip into their personal wealth to give Megsy a divorce settlement (see how this sounds like the break from the BRF?). She will demand far more than is reasonable and the whole divorce is going to be very messy (once again, sounds like the break from the BRF).
8. There are some more bombshells coming that will create a media storm.
9. There is a woman that Harry is turning to for comfort and counsel. It is not a romantic relationship. Harry does have a romantic interest in her but she aint having it ... too messy!
10. Harry is drinking (probably beer), although not an alcoholic or a drunk, he is drinking, and he is using some kind of psychedelic drug for recreational purposes. It could be something like too much coffee.
11. To be true to herself, what Megsy really wants is to go back to her Tig days and be an influencer (travel, fashion, food, pithy quotes, and lots of photographs of herself) making money from merching. Realistically, we have seen that she does not work well in a team or with other people, so that is what would suit her best.
The good tarot readers point out that we have free choice. However, none of them see a happy ever after marriage for Harry and Megsy.
They’ve played a terrible hand in a game where a far bigger mess could be their downfall.
Have you noticed how comments calling for a Republic are now escalating?

Sometimes it's suspicious when the same people routinely sue others. At the very least, it's a bad omen for future business partners. They should be wary of working with these 2. Not only will they possibly steal your idea, break a contract, threaten you with a tell-all, they'll just sue you at the end!
To be fair, I think most of us saw that immediately after the SA tour. There was no coming back after that mess.
/I would suggest that we all take up card reading for fun and profit, but I fear I haven't adequate patience or time fo' dat. "Oh, great Swampie, what do the cards say I should do tomorrow?" "How about getting yo' a** out of bed, eating breakfast, and going to work?" "BUT YOU DIDN'T LOOK AT THE CARDS!" Maybe somebody can hypnotize us and we can babble while in an altered state but sleep peacefully simultaneously? I think I'd be down with that.
Goodness yes, I’m a monarchist and if this Blind is true (the others have been), then a republic seems even more certain . The mess is getter bigger, people aren’t stupid, they can see Meghan and Harry not keeping to their part of the deal. They are just going to carry on lying and trading on whatever they can.
The royal family need to be tough and looking at this now....I’m hoping they will get tough, they are dealing with a psychopath with no fear or feeling for others.
If this carries on I'll be joining them.
The interesting ones I follow that have a high degree of accuracy are not on YouTube.
The royal family need to be tough and looking at this now....I’m hoping they will get tough, they are dealing with a psychopath with no fear or feeling for others.
They won't. They didn't exactly come out smelling of roses from that 'blind' either - did they?
The article in the DM about Prince Charles' multi-million pound inheritances from King George VI and the Queen Mother was the last straw for me.

Alcohol and/or drugs are not the cause of the unravelling of Harry. That he is using one or the other or both to cope with his distress is believable.
The tarot readers paint too rosy a picture for Harry post-divorce.
His life is essentially over. He will keep on breathing for a while, and he's got enough money to keep up the appearance of still being a big shot--private limos, security, staff--for a while anyway.
But here we have a 35 year old man who hasn't had to do so much as make his own sandwiches in his lifetime, thinking he's going to THRIVE outside of the only existence he's ever known?
Bloody unlikely. At this point, seeing Haz in such rough shape at the very beginning of his 'freedom', I think it's quite possible that he will be dead within 5 years. Death by misadventure (drug OD, reckless/impaired driving, or some sort of extreme sports accident) or flat out will intentionally take his own life. He is not equipped. Rachel *will* dump him--I give it a year tops before the divorce proceedings--only question remaining is how much of his money will she siphon off before she leaves?
Harry was the proverbial lamb to slaughter. Doesn't help that he's willingly throwing his own neck on the slab, under her directive. He is not driving this train. He got on this ride, thought it would be a lark and two fingers up to his detested family, and now he realizes he can't get off til it crashes.
Whenever I feel tempted to feel sorry for Harry, I remind myself that he has demonstrated ZERO lack of love or compassion toward any of his family members. He doesn't love them and has been stuck up his own backside since he was in long pants. The Wales Brothers put on a good show of solidarity for many years, but now I'm thinking that it was all pretty one-sided, with the caring and the batting cleanup coming from William's side. Once he became too busy with life responsibilities to be Harry's primary prop and cheerleader, he was turned upon.
I'm not sure I don't regard him as more odious than Rachel by this point. Both are profoundly broken individuals--warped and twisted in their overweening sense of entitlement--both deprived of their mothers during their formative years, but Harry was given every advantage that Rachel lacked (or believed she lacked) and still he was so easily seduced into betraying everything his family stands for.

I agree, and the more I read, the more I want them all gone. 😔They take us for fools. I guess it’s wishful thinking, they have two months to see how Meghan and Harry behave, that staged pap walk by Meghan is just a taste of what’s to come. ☹️
This is a strange fact which has forever lodged in my brain and I like to trot it out when people comment on Archificial's size.
People on here are talking about the strength of their 9-lb baby (grown to an 8 mos size) and there's just no way a modest sized baby can gargantua-grow in the way Archie supposedly has.
However - I don't know jack about babies so I could be wrong but I don't think so.
It's true her calves appear unexpectedly developed, I cannot explain this. I also concur the child doesn't appear to be in a diaper (?!) which I never would have noticed if people hadn't mentioned it.
I'm reluctant to imagine these are photoshopped images on another girl's body (see: her calves) because that seems too complicated (video) and the maniacal grin of hers makes the photos all too believable.
That smile of hers, what a poor choice. She looks delighted with herself.
People on other blogs also say that you can legally record a conversation in Canada as long as you are a part of it. Imagine opportunities that open up with that.
Harry is in for a big reality shock when is fully out of his golden cocoon. They are fair prey now as far as media is concerned.
The staged pap walk was too obvious for words, yet they are planning to sue?
Give me strength... :(
There is a person who has commented in the DM from the very beginning of this debacle, with something along the lines of (or including)... "Comedy of the decade."
Well I agree. This is all one big joke - and it's on us!!
Harry’s resignation speech was cringeworthy, you cry wolf too many times and people stop listening.
I’m concerned about the increasing animosity towards the RF, if MM had backers this would be exactly what they wanted wouldn’t it? I’m gravely concerned over the entire situation.
EXCLUSIVE: 'It's the best thing that could ever happen to him!' Meghan tells friends it was her love for Harry that made their new life possible and he'll flourish now, as she insists their spirits were being crushed by royal family
Meghan Markle has been telling her friends that quitting the royal family is the best thing that could ever happen to Prince Harry, a source told DailyMail.com
'She said that like her, his spirit was being crushed and she simply couldn't bare to see him suffer anymore,' the friend added
Meghan also confided that 'it was her love for him that made this possible'
On Monday, Meghan went for a walk with Archie and her dogs on Vancouver Island, Canada, just a few hours before Harry landed in Vancouver
They are in 'no rush' to move out of the $14m mansion they've been using
The friend also said: 'Meghan and Harry are not planning on changing their website or Instagram name... they will keep the Royal part in'
'Meghan says they will always be considered royalty regardless of where they live or what they do'
Tarot readers see her with a win but a hollow victory as what will be exposed about her will be damaging, and the win will be a technical victory that actually doesn't mean much.
Ultimately, Megsy will never reach the success of the Kardashians or Gwyneth Paltrow with her Goop franchise, but she will have enough success to support herself, and there is a rich husband in her future (post Harry). She thrives as a hustler and there are enough stupid people in the world to support her to make a good living out of hustling and merching and being all over social media as an influencer.
Realistically, we do not need tarot readers to work this out.
Hikari said, "This is not 1953 in Nairobi."
100% - the only places you get out of the airplane on the tarmac and walk to a bus or something are usually smaller airports like Orly outside Paris or other smaller international airports. He would have absolutely de-planned via skyway on a flight into Vancouver from the UK. They even have separate skyways for first class I believe.
I don't always believe the imposter rumors (I believe Santa's Hostage Harry was real), but I believe them for the pub dinner in the UK photo-op and the airplane one presumed to be from France I believe, where they only showed "Harry" from a 1/4 rear view. That fellow (also from pub pics) appears slightly leaner and lankier than Harry.
The "Vancouver" tarmac arrival pics also seem to be of a fellow slightly lankier than Harry, so ... I wonder. Also earlobes are very personal and perhaps this is why his ears are covered. I'm prepared to be wrong on this but am curious as to other opinions.

Hasn't it been reported that the Queen Mother died deeply in debt and QEII ended up paying her bills? And didn't QE II's dad have to buy Balmoral and Sandringham from the Great Abdicator? I'm not seeing where the multi millions came from unless King George had 1 million spare pounds invested for PC at his birth in 1948 and, earning the average interest rate through the years, would probably be worth about 35 million today if the principal/interest were untouched.
I think the "real" royal funds are under the control of the monarch.

She was in a public place, and there was no expectation of privacy. How does she expect to win this?
In August, DH and I went camping and there was a lazy river so SIL met us with the boys and we took them to the splash pad and the lazy river. The big baby had just turned 1 year old. I had him in the inner tube with me and he wanted to go by my DH so I said “take this kid” and trying to lift him up out of the inner tube was difficult because he weighed a ton and his body never freaking ended lol. DH had to come over and help me pull the baby out of my innertube,
Seriously this kid is a giant. His dad is 6’2” and about 225 so big too.
She works, so she will text back when she can, I don’t remember thinking OMG when he was born so I’m going with in the 8 pound range until she replies.
Relating on topic: while I’m open to the idea she was carrying a doll (and let’s face it, I hope it was a doll) it is very possible that Archie is a big baby.
when I lived in Montana, I had a stop over in either StP/ Mnpls, or Denver, or SLC.
It is not unusual that the second plane was out on the tarmac at the end of multiple door at the very end of a gate.
I have had to walk tarmacs or extended gantries/ boarding bridges to board.
A warning letter has been sent to media because of the pap photographs of Meghan and Archie walking in a park?
She looked directly at the photographers and smiled. Everything about her appearance indicates the appearance being staged ... by her!
I also deplaned via 1958 Narobi in Oakland not too long ago (less than 10 years ago) nd believe me, I complained about it and then fell down the stairs and broke my foot, yup. They have since remodeled that wing of the airport.
At any rate, that was him de planing in Victoria off a regional turbo prop plane from Vancouver.
Sandie - thank you for the tarot recaps! I'm not into it enough to follow them and I'm a huge skeptic but having it all set out for us like you did is really lovely and (in my opinion) gives the art of tarot a wince more credibility.
I look forward to your other summations as this continues. :)
Plus, maybe it was wrong information anyway...

Hopefully that clears up the whole question about snow, lol. I've seen it pop up a few times in different mediums. The bracken/black berry vines in the background and such do lend an air of PNW foliage, but that can also be said of the UK in parts as well. It's hard to really denote where she is right now. Everything I've seen hides the trees so you can't see what is around her, making it more obscure and difficult to pinpoint location. The fauna in the pictures is vague enough to work for her "Vancouver" theme.
There has never been full transparency with regard to the Royal Family's wealth and I doubt there ever will be.
You say he just turned one? How does his size compare with Meg's inert hiker child?
Prince Andrew has a more robust build, but PH does not.
Tomorrow for the Brits on Channel 5, Thomas Markle: My Story. It’s on for an hour and a half.
Something to look forward to at last!
Notice the uptick in online discussion against the monarchy and for a republic? That's the end game. This is about more than just two damaged people in a bad marriage. Flame away, but you have to admit none of this is remotely normal, even for Royals.
Plate I saw kinda looked white with a yellow stripe on top, to me. Or just the thin long yellow Euro-style plate, that was the yellow part, it was thin.
I guess we can look up infant boys height and weight growth charts to get parameters of what a 95% baby Archie could be.
What, one wonders, would be the main topics that the US media would want or expect from Megs and Harry? Michelle Obama and Barrack, the Clintons, too have had their education, careers and such going for them all along their paths, but what does a failed actress at being royal and a quitter of a prince have by comparison in order to follow the formers' path to earn billions? My point is: if you were going to attend a speech at a charitable fundraiser and the fee would be some crazy say, $50K a plate, who would you choose to donate and attend? When people donate their hard earned money they usually want it to go to fund the charity, not the administrators or their trustees. Recall how hopping mad we still are at the Red Cross after 9/11 when they admitted to not using the millions donated for victims and their families and the funds would be used for the next disaster. I digress...
My point is I think that sooner or later, after Megs and Harry refuse to reveal and spill all of the secrets about the royal family, then the media interest will quickly fade away and will move on to the next train wreck. And there's always some kind of next train wreck.
All Megs and Harry really have to give to the media, compared to Obamas or Clintons is their potential to reveal. I don't see much solid interest in them beyond that.
Every time Will & Kate are in the headlines she has to do something to draw attention back to herself.
Yes, that's the order of the day now....and always was, really.
>>>At any rate, that was him de planing in Victoria off a regional turbo prop plane from Vancouver.<<<
I can accept that it could be him, if he was exiting the puddle jumper. Captions on the photos were not clear. "Harry arriving in Canada" is easily misinterpreted as touching down in Vancouver.
I say 'could be', since we know Rachel has employed Harry doubles in the past. She does love her shenanigans. Wonder if *this* papp shot is part of the most current papp intrusion lawsuit or just the shots of her 'and the dogs in the woods with Archie'.
The figure exiting the plane looks as forlorn and beaten down as can be and the farthest thing from a Prince of the United Kingdom as could be. He could just as easily be a teenage runaway or a homeless person. So yeah, it's probably Harry. Though they cleared an entire floor of the observation deck and procured a private, nice car to drive this homeless guy home from the airport. Harry will be insulated for some time against the full brunt of his foolish, foolish choices.

Ok so if Archie at about 8.5 months old is in the 98% range, he could be about 25 pounds (11.5kg) and 30 inches long if I’m reading it right (it’s been a long time)

Let’s start praying it’s true, please let it be so! 😂 Let me get my popcorn🍿 !
Don't you think after Brexit the UK will need the monarchy more than ever?
Will and Kate did a great job last night, looking very regal and capable.
I sure do like Kate. She may have been playing the long game from the beginning, yes her mother may have "coached" her into marrying a royal somehow, yes she may have "schemed" to play her cards for her current position - I don't really CARE because she has always played by the royal rulebook (no stories, super discreet) and continues to serve her role beautifully.
It may not be a role for everyone, but she has been doing a marvelous job, in my opinion. It can't be easy.
Also - for Meghan's future opportunities - People don't seem to LIKE HER very much, after they get to know her. So anyone she may collaborate with, such as these women's organizations, etc - they may all end up coming away with a bad taste in their mouths which makes it difficult to continue to book gigs once the word gets out.
Should be interesting. Unlike the Obamas & the Clintons, they really have no accomplishments of any kind to rest their laurels upon. I also loved Piers Morgan's comment about them "serving."
They didn't give it very long before they decided to GTFO - it really invalidates their "service" dedication.
"He could just as easily be a teenage runaway or a homeless person. So yeah, it's probably Harry."
HA HA HA so good.
This article sheds a more compassionate light on Eddy, though his early death was considered a providential intervention for the Royal Family because, though beloved within the family, Eddy was widely acknowledged as not the full quid, to put it mildly.
I see a lot of similarities between Eddy and Harry. Imagine if Harry and William had switched places in the birth order and Harry were now heir presumptive to Charles. This current fracas of the distant #6 and his materialistic wife ought to be a relative tempest in a teapot compared to what faced the family at the end of Victoria's reign. Thanks to the twin pillars of BULLYING and RACISM, Harry's 'Grabdication' is elevated to the level of Edward VIII's abdication. Thanks to SM 'warriors' there is no sense of proportion about how profoundly silly and meaningless the Sussexes really are.

Ah, heck, we are just chatting anyway... who knows... it would be funny if this is a giant doll and a real Archie turned out to be puny.
'Meghan says they will always be considered royalty regardless of where they live or what they do'
There you go. Her sense of grandeur and inadequacy has nested in a perfect little nook. Forever royal no matter what. The RF will never get rid of her, she'll leech of that connection till the rest of her life. Their own Angie Bowie, sans brain.
As for paps in Canada? Not a common occurrence unless she brought them with her. I lived in Muskoka (north of Toronto) for many years. It is a veritable playground for the rich and famous. Many celebrities either have properties or visit and know that they will never be bothered. I frequently ran across Harry Hamelin and Lisa Rinna. There are many sightings of people but I can assure you that they are not papped that often. That's why they like it here. so, for Missy to be screaming PAPS!!!, it will leave many Canadians shaking their heads.
"Meghan Markle has been telling her close friends that quitting the royal family is the best thing that could ever happen to Prince Harry and said 'it was her love for him that made this possible,' a friend exclusively told DailyMail.com.
'She said that like her, his spirit was being crushed and she simply couldn't stand to see him suffer anymore,' the friend added. "
Be careful what you wish for, UK, you can see the state of the US Republic at this time :)
She doesn't have murderer's thumbs but she does have the Single Transverse Palmar Crease on her right hand (in old school palmistry, the simian line).
"Although rare, this line normally appears on people that have a tendency to have problems communicating with other people. The ancient palmists predicted that these people will always have emotional problems. They move from one emotion to another. There is also a strong feeling of enjoying conflict. They are jealous of other people but they seem to be able to detach themselves when in an argument."
Sounds just like MM breathlessly exclaiming that she had to "save" Harry from his horrible family, who provided him with a good education and tours in the Army. All the wealth and comforts of life anyone could want. He has his health and so does she. They have a healthy son. Don't they have better things to do than mouth off at tabloids?
So she wants them to be "Royals" wherever they go. Hope it works out. No rush to move out of the $14 million dollar mansion? Of course not. Wouldn't want to be too independent. Just like her TIG days, crashing at other people's houses or having hotel rooms comped.
There is video on Twitter, I believe, of her quickly going through something in Harry's car at a polo match before they were married. 2 of Harry's friends come up and escort her away. No clue about boundaries.
We see this again at the Investiture for Charles, and every time she gatecrashes. No recognition of boundaries, or no respect for them.
Right. Careful what you wish for Brits. I'm in the U.S. and it's exhausting to be constantly buffeted back and forth between right and left and worrying about my children's future.
The stability the Queen and Monarchy have provided the British people for a very long time looks quite attractive to me.
On the main 6pm news the BBC report that they left the U.K. to get away from the paparazzi and they are camped out all around the Canadian property, that’s where Meghan was papped against her wishes yesterday, hence the legal challenge.
It couldn’t get more ridiculous. They didn’t get papped in the U.K. at all in their home environment, with the baby, the dogs, nothing I can recall. Yes, she got photographed at the public polo match and Wimbledon. Hardly private. That’s visiting public events,
It’s so compelling to keep watching and reading, it’s quite frankly an unbelievable spectacle unfolding, but I also feel so queasy about it all.
It's so funny how Harry never looked so downcast or soul-crushed or suffering as he has looked these last 18 months with her. He faked it so well for 33 years til suddenly he couldn't anymore.
Only one thing changed, and that thing is Rachel.
The man getting off the plane looks pretty downcast to me. Why doesn't Harry ever genuinely smile any mre? Why does he look like a husk of a man, on the verge of tears or rage all the time.
Can it be . . R-A-C-H-E-L?
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Whether or not William wants the job, his sense of duty will see him through, like George VI
Are the Harkles so high profile that they are being pursued on multiple fronts? If safety is such a high priority as Harry has stated, then why leave the UK where they would be the safest.
I read it is not illegal in Canada to take pictures of people in public places. So, even if I believe paps just HAPPENED to be on that muddy walk by pure chance they did nothing wrong. Selling pics may be another matter, however, but these two are idiots if they think they can stop pictures trade by going to courts every time somebody captures them.
People on other blogs also say that you can legally record a conversation in Canada as long as you are a part of it. Imagine opportunities that open up with that."
This is true.
So the ragey, moronic plank hasn't even been back to Canada for 24 hours yet, and he's already issuing legal warnings?! Has he seen the orgasmic glee writ large all over his always-going-to-be-Royal wife's face in those ridiculous set-up pap shots?

To find harry’s, look all the way to the right list of names and go all the way down.
So the photos of her picking up her yoga guru are OK, but the photos of her walking the dogs aren't?
Excellent point. The Harkles like to pick and choose. I have a feeling Meghan set up the pap walk, Harry came home furious about it, and Markle lied and told him she was stalked.
Very likely. She's already got form for that from her Toronto days when Harry rushed to issue the first statement.
Are the Harkles so high profile that they are being pursued on multiple fronts? If safety is such a high priority as Harry has stated, then why leave the UK where they would be the safest. ‘
Because it’s either all set up and they don’t mind. Or they didn’t think it through, and should have stayed in the UK .
They can’t complain about the press and privacy now, if they’re setting the photos up, and I think they are. It’s fake trauma for attention. People are quickly seeing through them, especially her, these opinions are from people I know who’ve never had an opinion on the royals.☹️
That's not quite fair. Targeting Harry has a symbolic value that targeting an ordinary soldier would not.
