It was just 682 days ago that the second Duke of Sussex came into being.
The first Duke of Sussex, a red-headed wastrel with an older, unpopular wife, died in 1843, and the title had been vacant since then.
But on May 19, 2019, Queen Elizabeth resurrected the title for use by her grandson Prince Harry, along with the titles Earl of Dumbarton (for use in Scotland) and Baron of Kilkeel (a fishing town in Northern Ireland, population 6887).
It was hard not to see Prince Philip's humor behind the choice of peerages - Sussex, perhaps a reference to the Duchess Meghan's former employment, Dumbarton, a comment on Prince Harry's lack of intellectual chops, and Kilkeel - well, it just sounds funny. Earl of Dumbarton had actually been used previously, in the 1700s, but Kilkeel had never had a noble title connected with it before.
And now it's all worked out as badly as anyone might have guessed it would in May 2018.
The Sussexes have spent millions of pounds to no good end, they have tarnished the reputation of the British Royal Family and brought on calls for a republic, and they've left a large number of copies of People Magazine unsold beside checkout counters.
The disaster started picking up speed with the April 2018 departure of Harry's "body man" Edward Lane Fox, the man who turned a prince caught playing naked billiards in Las Vegas into "Hero Harry" for the public. Ed Fox was the man who made Harry look good.
Fox's resignation took place just a couple of weeks before the Sussexes' strange and rushed-looking wedding, with its ill-fitting bridal gown, sloppy cake, and sour-faced guests.
The wedding (to which, famously, Meg only invited one family member) was followed by several odd and unexplained public events.
A couple of weeks after that, Meg was invited on a special train trip with the Queen - and appeared with flyaway hair (wig?), no hat, and an outfit we'd already seen on Angelina Jolie. Wasn't there anyone offering her guidance?
Finally, the pair were sent on a fancy tour to Australia, where they offended their hosts so thoroughly that Prince Andrew (!) had to be sent down afterwards to smooth things over.
The tour also gave them the opportunity to offend Harry's Invictus partners, who wondered why non-veteran Meghan had been chosen to give a speech; Prince Frederik of Denmark, who was also attending the games but snubbed by the Sussexes; plus a market full of craftswomen in Fiji who had looked forward to meeting Meghan and promoting their goods to an international audience.
According to some reports, Meghan felt the market smelled bad. Whatever the reason, she had her security personnel remove her from the market shortly after she arrived.
The baby whose conception was announced quite early, at around 10 weeks, conveniently at another bride's wedding.
The baby who, safe within his mother's womb, became miraculously much larger or much smaller depending on her fashion needs.
The baby who was maybe sort of born in May 2019, although the press was given the wrong information about the timing of labor and birth, plus it isn't clear exactly where the birth happened, and also no doctors signed his Royal birth announcement.
The baby who has never made a public appearance in the United Kingdom, where he is supposedly seventh in line to the throne.
All totally normal, folks. Nothing to see here.
Very little production or publicity is going on during the coronavirus pandemic. And whenever things start up again, the Sussexes - who still have their dukedom but no HRH - are likely to be old news.
Sure, they have at least one revealing interview to offer (Oprah? Ellen?) and will also probably cheapen themselves on at least one US late-night talk show. (Start mass-market with Fallon and then move down to Corden? Or maybe do Colbert and talk politics? Shouldn't Meg give Lily Singh a boost, since she's Canadian and a WOC?)
But after that, silence. Bob Iger has left Disney, so there are probably no more elephant voiceovers in Meg's future.
The Sussexes say they plan to launch a charity, but who would trust them with money?
Although he married again, neither marriage was approved of by the royal family, and his son was deemed ineligible to inherit the Dukedom.
Might history repeat itself?
The first Duke of Sussex did have one bright spot in his life: he was the favorite uncle of Queen Victoria, and walked her down the aisle at her marriage to Prince Albert.
Perhaps, at some point, Prince Harry will again find a useful role to play in the Royal Family, and maybe even get his HRH back.
But Meghan probably won't.

It started with Fox
In fact, smart money probably knew it would go wrong long before May 2018; both Prince William and his stepmother Camilla pegged the Duchess of Sussex as a grifter early on, and his father Prince Charles probably would have, had he not been so eager to show himself to be "woke" with an African-influenced wedding ceremony.The disaster started picking up speed with the April 2018 departure of Harry's "body man" Edward Lane Fox, the man who turned a prince caught playing naked billiards in Las Vegas into "Hero Harry" for the public.

The wedding (to which, famously, Meg only invited one family member) was followed by several odd and unexplained public events.
Odd and unexplained
Just four days after the wedding, the Sussexes attended a garden party celebrating Prince Charles' 70th birthday, but were abruptly asked to leave. Why?A couple of weeks after that, Meg was invited on a special train trip with the Queen - and appeared with flyaway hair (wig?), no hat, and an outfit we'd already seen on Angelina Jolie.

And then there was Archie

All totally normal, folks. Nothing to see here.
The end
The story goes on and on - Frogmore Cottage, the expensively renovated house where no one appears to live! - but it's a sorry tale with a sad ending in a rented house in Malibu and a phone that probably doesn't ring very often.Very little production or publicity is going on during the coronavirus pandemic. And whenever things start up again, the Sussexes - who still have their dukedom but no HRH - are likely to be old news.

The first Duke of Sussex
Life was also difficult for the first Duke of Sussex. He divorced his first wife, who used the title princess for the rest of her life even though she wasn't technically entitled to it.Although he married again, neither marriage was approved of by the royal family, and his son was deemed ineligible to inherit the Dukedom.

But Meghan probably won't.
Comments
Maybe if Harry is a good Uncle, Charlotte might let H walk her down the aisle instead of Wills. Hopefully he’s not a super smeller like his wife (future ex-wife) and the church’s fragrance will be tolerable.
1. How many believe there is significance/HMTQ’s tongue was in cheek in the giving of titles for the dimwits, especially given the former Duke of Sussex’s story? It seems so implausible, and yet...
2. I am on the East Coast, and plenty of people have swimming pools, but they are not as ubiquitous as in Southern CA. As a mom, the last thing I wanted when house shopping with an infant or toddler was a pool. It literally was a deal breaker for houses in the two moves I made when I had young children. How, if there is an Archie, are they able to relocate so quickly to a place with a pool that is as exposed and close to the house as in that Max Azaria one? Is it feasible in the Corona era to have pool perimeter fences installed rapidly and on demand (keeping in mind VIPs are a dime a dozen so getting an urgent request from the Harkles carries little cache)? I don’t get it, but maybe it’s different where I am from.
I hope everyone is staying safe and relatively sane.
I will refer my sister of flaming SJW wokeness to this very post if I ever have to bite my tongue with her again over the "horrible" and "racist" way Meghan has been treated.
I think we fall for any shiny object with a PR team and a gimmick. The Kardashians (several fortunes based on a sex tape and a travesty of a murder trial). The Cash me Outside (?) girl. Numerous bad boys and trashy girls, of the professional athlete and musician varieties. Real Housewives. Criminals, petty and not so petty.
Right now we are paying lip service to hospital and grocery workers, but we're not paying them more or taking better care of them, and when this is all over, no one will be clapping or giving them bonuses.
We're just as shallow as the rest of the world.
I wasn't aware of the echo associated with the Duke of Sussex title. Well done catching it. Perhaps Harry's resentment dating from the very early times got deeper after he was given Sussex, Dumbarton and Killkeel titles? He is thin skinned, sees snubs in everything and it could possibly push him over the edge.
Well starting from tomorrow he can't claim his great wings were clipped by the evil royal family. He can rise and shine exactly as he deserves.
Yes, I see the famously dry sense of humour in the choice of titles given to them. Honestly, if this saga was fiction we'd say it was too far-fetched.
You know how from January until mid-March the media kept using MM's photo from the Canada House visit, with her in the brown outfit? Now, the posts mostly include the glowing green outfit. Every time I see that outfit, I feel my eyes burning from all that bright green, and I can't stop seeing a plastic avocado net bag stuck to the side of her head!
What I find interesting about this article is that the writer does not come out and say it bluntly: their last post, and indeed the way they left, was rude and devoid of any manners (Harry's mother would be appalled; it's how Meghan operates).
I think the virus gives them the excuse they needed to drop the pretense that they actually planned to do charity work beyond it being a means for them to raise their profile and their income. MM clearly wants the celebrity life. Maybe Harry wanted to do some good work, but his complaints about his old life have been proven false and this new life is clearly all about his wife and them becoming rich and famous.
It is a sad ending to what could have been a respectable story, as you say, Nutty. Hopefully, there can still be a new ending in the future, with a sobered, matured Harry who understands duty, service, and family are what matter in life.
Does anyone know why ELF left?
Because of MM, but I don't remember where I read it. He apparently warned PH that MM would cause a scandal that would ultimately hurt the Queen.
Re: ELF, I imagine he had to come into regular contact with Meghan while working with Harry, and decided that he'd rather not.
Trade marks were filed March 6 and 1, respectively.
Anyone can use the word Sussex. It's a place name; they can't trademark it.
Don't you think Travelyst is a stillborn? How big is the chance that after several months of isolation, in the nosediving world economy people will en mass rush to travel thousands of miles, in cattle class to hellholes of the world to live in straw shacks to help "local economy"? I personally would rather make a donation directly to a good cause than book via Travelyst and fill the coffers of the likes of booking.com.
The whole idea was ill defined and oblique to begin with. I still don't understand what it is and how it works and who benefits and how. Will it even survive the crisis?
Sussex Trust and Sussex Foundation can be disputed by the county of Sussex because it uses the name of the county without relating to the county or benefiting it in any way.
Can I register a highly visible personal foundation called Everest Foundation or Kyoto Foundation or Montenegro Foundation and not get kicked by Japanese or Chinese or Montenegro?
Great reading. I was humming "what a long strange trip it's been." (and probably nothing compared to what will happened next)
All totally normal, folks. Nothing to see here.
Wow, Nutty! Excellent observation. It never crossed my mind that Archie was never even seen out in his stroller in the UK. On the surface it’s weird, but I think she was hoping to monetize the photos of him, which she is likely doing with the magazine coverage in May.
Meghan always tries to make sure there’s something for herself.
Interesting what exactly the Dukedom of Sussex is. Does Harry benefit from the county of Sussex in any way financially? Or is this purely honorary?
Royal sites are very generous with history of the dukedoms but very tight with financial details. Charles, William and Harry are all funded from the Duchy of Cornwall it looks.
Duchy of Sussex appears to be a sort of virtual place. Phonetically relating to the actual geographic location. If they use the Foundation of Duke and Duchess of Sussex or Duchy of Sussex Foundation at least it is what it really is. Virtual place and virtual title.
Sussex Foundation or Sussex Trust immediately raises questions because, as Nutty says, this geographic name can't be trademarked.
Blimey! the Baron of sponging off!
Thank you for bringing this into the discussion!
Ritzy celebrity enclaves like Beverly Hills hit hardest by coronavirus https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8169747/Ritzy-celebrity-enclaves-like-Beverly-Hills-Bel-Air-hit-hardest-coronavirus.html?ito=native_share_channel-home-preview
I was curious and noticed that both were registered by a company focused on medical device sales and strategy. They're not even in Sussex but seems a weird move for them to squat on trademarks.
www.sussextrust.com & www.sussexfoundation.com aren't active yet but the domains are registered.
SussexFoundation.com is registered through GoDaddy, like SussexRoyal.com
What's interesting is SussexTrust.com is registered through IONIS, and the WHOIS data is "redacted for privacy"
Sorry if this was linked before
The announcing that BP will no longer commit on the Sussex duo is a washing of hands moment.
IMHO, the palace realizes what they are up against in the PR war that will loom in the next twelve months.
@Nutty: If the the reviews of Meghan’s voiceover of the elephant documentary is any predictor of her talent, then her abilities are even less than mediocre.
From today’s (Tuesday, March 31, 2020) DM:
Meghan Markle's Disney debut gets a drubbing from critics: Narration of Elephant documentary is branded 'over-eager to please' and packed with 'schmaltz and cheesiness
Judging by the reviews of her voiceover, which should have been an easy task for Meghan, few or no tv or movie studio executive, producer, director or any other decision maker is going to gamble millions of dollars and the reputations of their companies and their own professional reputations by hiring a woman with a reputation for OTT diva behavior and no true talent to justify even a tiny bit of diva behavior. Being a duchess likely won’t have that much allure to hard-nosed business people who are often must be able to explain their actions to investors in their projects or in the case of Disney, stockholders.
Meghan will have to stick to being a mattress actress for Harry and any other dim-witted sap who comes along in the future.
but it's a sorry tale with a sad ending in a rented house in Malibu and a phone that probably doesn't ring very often.
Oprah told M, "If the phone don't ring you'll know it's me"
In the title, you say, "Gone but not forgotten (Yet)."
I am sure that MM's PR and "Friends" will be putting out numerous stories in the next 12 months.
If only they could be forgotten! I am already sick of seeing the daily pics of Rach in the sickening, preying mantis green dress.
The only part of her story I am waiting to see is the truth about Archie. Every other story about Rach is an exaggeration of her talent, smarts, and popularity.
Most information on who own domains is private . GoDaddy is my domain name registrar and you will find them listed as the WHOIS and not me. It is to protect people’s privacy and to not provide a sales list for competing domain name registrars. It is not unusual, at all. There are three potential contacts for each domain name.
Early in the days of the Internet, you could go to WHOIS and see a name, address, and phone, and email) for each of the 3 contacts. That meant competing companies would bomb the contacts with emails trying to get business. It was hard to tell if the information was legitimate (often not) and that is why most info is now not published.
1. They registered the Arch Foundation something like a year or more before Archie’s supposed birth and before they were married, I think? I saw it a while ago, but I can’t remember the date exactly other than very suspect.
2. Their marriage decree, which is signed in the church at a point in ceremony by the witnesses, is oddly absent all the many signatures bestowed on William and Catherine’s.
3. The exodus of staff.
4. Beyond fly away hair, it was not wearing a hat, panty hose, discreet polish, etc.
5. The extravagance of the wardrobe. Maybe Angelina did wear a piece, but, it was the sheer cost of the designer goods that more than once still clearly had their price tags still attached.
6. The merching.
7. The gossipy leaks to press.
8. The lies - claiming she paid for her own college, when Dad paid. That she has always been a proud woman of color, when she erased every ounce of that part of herself through plastic surgery and resume indications.
9. The baby shower and instant bffs in attendance that weren’t at her wedding just months prior, while no family attended.
10. Beloved mom Doria depending on when and whom is asked. Remember the article where Doria was supposedly not close at all, after more was coming out?
11. The Disney pitch and the military engagement blown off to corner Bob Iger.
12. The photoshop fails of Christening, Christmas card and Archie and Harry standing on water.
13. The Canada house trip when they got back from their months long “break” from what few royal duties they performed, extending the hospitality of the Canadian people to pay for their security well beyond any diplomatic reciprocity could ever have envisioned.
14. The e-blast departure from family, the one Meghan supposedly never had and now Harry no longer does, too.
15. The dates of meeting and dating, the frantic call to vogue to change the timeline because oops she was still living with Marcus that spring.
16. The pap stroll with the lopsided crash test dummy baby ...
17. Their departure premised on needing peace and privacy, hence the private jet to gossip and pap Mecca, LA, aka the hotbed of well adjusted childhoods and sound moral values.
18. Suing the media, over Daddy revealing the real contents of a letter she put in the public forum by alluding to onky the self serving bits.
19. Wimbledon, clearing out school children who had seats and having security chastise a man for taking a photo of the court, not her?
20. Jeans in the royal box.
21. Ripped jeans at Invictus.
22. The rest of iceberg is probably just as well known as the above titled tip...
awesome tidbit of information! thanks for sharing!
Great post @Nutty!
On to the next installment of the Sussex Sideshow!
@Sylvia I believe the hardest-hit part of Beverly Hills is most likely the "southern" part, south of Pico, for anyone who's familiar with the area. It's a traditional Hassidic area and they are in very close quarters with lots of multi-generational living arrangements. There's a good amount of pedestrian traffic (and unfortunately homeless traffic) around there, and I'd read on our local NextDoor (neighborhood social network) posts that several people know of several Covid cases. Just anecdotal info..... My whole point was, the "beverly hills" that most people think of is very spread out and plenty of live-in housekeeping staff, so the isolation is very well contained.... at least to my knowledge.
Regarding the titles Her Maj bestowed on our "favorite" prince - I know there is a limit on how many available titles / areas in the UK she can actually use. In order for us to properly savor the ones that she did choose, can any UK Nutties please tell us what other titles she may have picked instead of the juicy ones she did settle on?
Well, The Duke of Windsor is still available and it is a 'royal ducal title', i.e. does not have land or property attached to it!
There are others (labelled as extinct because nobody inherited them, and many controversial, just like the one Harry was given), e.g. there hasn't been a Duke of Cumberland, nor a Duke of Clarence, for a couple of hundred years.
The post article also says a lot of travel will be local as people may think twice about long trips.
There is a good link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dukedoms_in_the_peerages_of_Britain_and_Ireland
A number of peerages "Merged into crown" so technically could be bestowed upon Harry, like Duke of Hereford, for instance.
Are you serious? She left official engagement because she had a spa treatment scheduled? No wonder her guards resigned.
No wonder either that a Moroccan journalist called her "repugnant". She doesn't seem to have a talent to inspire loyalty so to say.
Also during that trip MM did a pitiful curtsy to the King and Queen of Tonga, I am sure she thought they should curtsy to her https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1038406/meghan-markle-pictures-royal-tour-prince-harry-tonga-curtsy
Are these two still going to be linked to their Commonwealth Roles, I hope not. What I would really like to know, especially re the commonwealth countries these two visited, did the popularity of the BRF go up or down after their visits. They were supposed to be the saviors, THE ambassadors to reach the young, people of color, etc. --as 'young' hip royals.
Oh I am going to drink an extra glass of wine for this long awaited event. I hope the UK media starts releasing damaging info and the US media investigates the shenanigans that the Sussex's undoubtedly will start (maybe even starting tomorrow). Surely they will announce their nonprofit soon (unless they are confused on what they will do).
It is official. They are no longer working members of the RF and no longer allowed to use HRH.
Three cheers! A virtual toast[ing]!
Going to see if I have any more tonic, for a GT--a good excuse!
I think that the Fauxrchie story is bound to be told soon, and I think this is just shades of things to come: https://airmail.news/issues/2020-3-28/infantilized
Also, Nutty, I had to check out Kilkeel, and yes, Prince Philip written all over it: Kilkeel is situated in the heart of the Kingdom of the Mournes.
I saw the story but why the protection officer resigned so shortly afterwards? something happened that made her believe she could not continue doing her job.

We’ll help to fight virus, says Prince Harry in ‘sign‑off’
Valentine Low
Tuesday March 31 2020, 9.00am BST, The Times
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed off as working royals with a promise to help find solutions to the problems raised by the coronavirus.
As they prepared to go silent on social media, the couple disclosed how their charitable ambitions had been drastically curtailed for the moment.
However, the confirmation that they are ditching plans to set up a charitable foundation was balanced by a bigger ambition: helping with the pandemic.
https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a25890505/meghan-markle-bodyguard-leaving/
At the time, the idea that the market was "too crowded" seemed a little weird because pretty much everything on a royal tour is tightly-controlled/orchestrated. So if the crowd size was unexpected, sounds like somebody screwed up.
Here's a typical story from the time https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/10/meghan-markle-security-scare
And seconds before they made a move to leave the market, M is on video frantically whispering to the officer. So it was Meghan who perceived the security threat? Seems unlikely. The odor story (or something else related to the "great unwashed") makes sense to me. Heck it could even be that people thought they could touch M since she'd been seen hugging strangers. Interestingly, as the link above does, most stories say she met the women she had to meet there. The important ones I guess?
That Grenfell Tower event also has some interesting footage of Harry kidding around by putting his head on Meghans shoulder and she shrugs him off quite testily. It was her big day and she wanted no nonsense while taking credit for the entire cookbook when all she contributed was the forward.
I also noticed how quickly BP extinguished the story and pushed it into background. Normally this is an indication something not attractive went on
SussexRoyal instagram and website are still up though
My immediate reaction was "What is your PH 'Arry?" Probably acidic....
Oprah told M, "If the phone don't ring you'll know it's me"
Lol!!!
https://images.app.goo.gl/RyzmSXNBcigeqUv99
I remember it because of the outfit MM was wearing.
so, their twitter handle has changed to @PHarry_Meghan
are you sure this is theirs? or a fans? shows its been there since November 2017. and follows 701 others.
The scenario surrounding the Smirkle's being ousted from Charle's birthday party is, from what I read, exactly as you have described. I, too, enjoyed seeing MM smirk-less for once!
Her idiotic smile plastered across her face when she carried out their "last royal duties" was so annoying!
Anybody may choose to do this for any reason, a good reason is to avoid email spam, so it should not be seen (necessarily) as dodgey but maybe.
“the air is alive and they can feel it in their giant bones”
Megs nod to her yachting days...
@Animal Lover
I read, since disappeared, that ELF left as he was frustrated at being constantly told, by Meg,
that her fathers wedding travel plans were in hand. They weren’t.
If true this would also give weight to the fact that she never had any intention of her father attending the wedding.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tgJQ-kTEU2w&feature=emb_rel_end
"Megs nod to her yachting days."
Good one!!!!
@Animal Lover and @Magatha Mistie
I read the same story concerning the reason ELF left. Smirkles lied about different things about her wedding, including defying the Queen who nixed the veil. That was the reason QE looked so angry when she saw her at the wedding--or so I read.
I appreciated your post about your Saint Bernards. Found it uplifting. Thought about getting a St. Bernard but thought they might not do well here in the heat. However I've had Great Pyrenees and as you probably know they are big furry dogs and they did quite well. Hope you find another wonderful fur buddy!
She lost her sparkle
You know she isn't the same
Living on reds, vitamin c and cocaine
All a friend can say is ain't it a shame
Ooh!! I've had two Pyrs!!
They are such wonderful dogs! Both are gone now but I miss them every day.
And @gabes_human, I am sorry for your loss. There is always that one beloved companion whose loss is always felt. How lucky we are to have them.
Megs foreword for Grenfell would make a great drinking game.
Have a drink each time she mentions herself, 36?
We’d all be plastered before we got to the actual recipes!!
Cheers 😉
Good points. The reporters who seemed to be providing "cover" for the "security" incident seemed to downplay it by saying M met the women she "needed to meet" before leaving so it all seemed pretty insulting to me.
And somebody remind me, just why were the Mulroneys there at all? I don't remember other royal tours that involved taking friends along (no matter who paid.)
From Blind gossip:
She said that she will not get pregnant again until she settles into her new home.
That is not true.
In fact, she is already pregnant!
There’s something important you need to know, though.
Her famous husband is not the father!
You see, her husband had an unfortunate accident a few years ago that rendered him infertile.
He knew that he wanted to be a father, but he wanted a baby that was part of his bloodline.
He had to seek out a sperm donor within his own family.
The most logical choice was his brother.
However, that presented some quirky issues.
While he initially wanted to keep this private, it was a significant lineage issue that necessitated involving senior members of the family. A family meeting took place, and they unanimously decided that [another family member] would be a better choice.
The chosen family member was handsome, fertile, and had no health issues.
Sounds perfect.
Who was it?
His uncle.
Yes, the very same uncle who would later wind up in hot water.
So, how was the baby conceived?
No, the actress did not sleep with the uncle! Don’t be foolish. This was all done in a lab. The actress’ eggs were harvested and fertilized with the uncles’ sperm.
Despite the conspiracy theories, there was no surrogate involved. The actress carried and give birth to the first baby.
Furthermore, despite the turmoil that surrounded the uncle, he will be the biological father of the second baby as well.
They really had no choice. They want their children to be full siblings.
The second baby will be announced next month. You’ve already met the first baby.
So, in case you were wondering why the family keeps the uncle so tightly within the family fold… and why the couple chose to move away from the family right after the uncle was exposed… and why the couple still has a home to come back to that is close to the rest of the family… wonder no more!
They are all permanently bound by blood and secrets
We will all be dead from alcohol poisoning! Lol
Just having that out there tells you how surreal this circus is...
That is so deliciously creepy
And said goodbye to Blighty
Off she went with a thud and a clunk
Trump trump trump
The head of Soho was calling in far far LA
So off she went with her swag and her lump

I had speculated that perhaps Andrew’s visible animosity toward Markle had to do with her knowing him a bit too well in the yachting days.
I just can’t see any chance in hell that he would willingly agreed to inseminate her, twice, to provide heirs for Hazzard. Markle Has been absolutely beastly to Andy’s daughters at every opportunity. Would he give her even more power to be rude to them by creating children that would be their half-siblings? If Andrew is the father, then Archie is unquestionably of royal blood, so why no title or gun salute?
Lots of salaciousness to salivate over, but I don’t believe it. An Internet gossip site would have to be privy to the scandal of the century. They aren’t that good.
I believe you've found it.
Yes, so - this is 99.99% certain their AFD blind. It's a good one!
Andy’s sleazy and ran in those yachting circles with Markle, So as gross as this is to contemplate...Incest along with a whole packet of lies, I could see it having been remotely possible if Andy had been offered enough money to keep quiet. Last year’s blind about William getting liquored up and sleeping with his brother’s Detestable bridezilla was really out there.
HFKAP is now “The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air”.
Priceless.
I hate to correct you, Nutty, but Archificial was at the polo match with the Cambridges so has been seen in public once.
I still need to be convinced that what she was holding that day was a real baby!
Just waiting for tomorrow. The beginning of The Great Irrelevance is going to be a welcome moment as we wade through the coronavirus lockdown.
I've compared the Harkles with JRod (Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez), although the Harkles are less talented and less wealthy. Well this week Trump dismissed both couples. Not paying for the Harkles' security, and Trump had a tweet saying that he never called ARod on the phone recently (a story almost certainly put out by Team ARod).
As I write this it's nearly midnight on the east coast of the USA late Tuesday. The end of the Harkles starts in mere minutes. How sweet it is.
Have you all seen this incredibly creative and hilarious spoof of “One More Day” from Les Miserables, sung by a British family of six?? Don’t miss it!:

The Second Baby
MARCH 31, 2020
She said that she will not get pregnant again until she settles into her new home.
That is not true.
In fact, she is already pregnant!
There’s something important you need to know, though.
Her famous husband is not the father!
You see, her husband had an unfortunate accident a few years ago that rendered him infertile.
He knew that he wanted to be a father, but he wanted a baby that was part of his bloodline.
He had to seek out a sperm donor within his own family.
The most logical choice was his brother.
However, that presented some quirky issues.
“While he initially wanted to keep this private, it was a significant lineage issue that necessitated involving senior members of the family. A family meeting took place, and they unanimously decided that [another family member] would be a better choice.”
The chosen family member was handsome, fertile, and had no health issues.
Sounds perfect.
Who was it?
His uncle.
Yes, the very same uncle who would later wind up in hot water.
So, how was the baby conceived?
No, the actress did not sleep with the uncle! Don’t be foolish. This was all done in a lab. The actress’ eggs were harvested and fertilized with the uncles’ sperm.
Despite the conspiracy theories, there was no surrogate involved.
The actress carried and give birth to the first baby.
Furthermore, despite the turmoil that surrounded the uncle, he will be the biological father of the second baby as well.
“They really had no choice. They want their children to be full siblings.”
The second baby will be announced next month. You’ve already met the first baby.
So, in case you were wondering why the family keeps the uncle so tightly within the family fold… and why the couple chose to move away from the family right after the uncle was exposed… and why the couple still has a home to come back to that is close to the rest of the family… wonder no more!
They are all permanently bound by blood and secrets.
I bloody well hope so at least!
Who will Meghan end up with next?
Might be getting a bit ahead of ourselves, but I bet a good portion of us will end up being "prophetic"
You can make only one guess.
But:
"end up with" is vague... Do we do a "date", "get engaged to", "marry".? We should have some sort of pool, or at least to keep track.
That would be awesome.
My guess for "marry":
Saudi Prince
A Saudi Prince’s fortune would be very attractive to Meg, But she’s not going to be there type by a wide mile. If Saudi prince wanted some American eye candy as a trophy wife, He’s going to go for someone blonde, willowy, white and in her twenties. Model types. Playboy bunny types. Meg doesn’t fit the bill. Besides not having the look, she’d be way too mouthy and difficult. I think Megsy’s ship has sailed on any more loaded husbands. She’s used goods and everyone knows it, and the last two years have just revealed what a brazen dishonest and grifting Hussy she is. Her pay to play days are done, unless her future Paramour is some octogenarian oil tycoon Who’d consider a 40+ Failed actress with three former husbands a bit of hot stuff.
I never saw any of this coming. Lol. I really thought it would as normal.
Then again I did get catfished by someone pretending to be an English luvvie & totally fell for it, so I'm the dum-dum here.
That being said, I think most people were excited about her. I was.
For me the turning point was when she claimed she didn't know who HRH Just Harry was. That's when I started side-eyeing her...
You can understand my Indonesian self not knowing who Michael Roux was until after his death & a month into culinary school. But to actually say she "didn't know much about Just Harry?" How stupid does she think we are lol.
The Coronavirus isn't even stopping her.
It's actually quite AMAZING TO WATCH as a COVID-19 subplot.
Glad you enjoyed the post.
RE: Archie not making a public appearance in the UK.
You are correct, he was at the polo match, or someone (or something?) passed off as Archie was at the polo match.
But can that really be called a public appearance, with his face smashed against Meg's olive-green caftan?
A public appearance, in my world, is where you're totally in view and acknowledged as being yourself - say, Prince Louis on the balcony at the Trooping of the Color, or Charlotte and George at Louis' Christening or at the Christmas walk.
I do realize that "Archie" is a bit younger than those children. But if he could be shown off at an interview in South Africa, he could also be shown off at an interview in the UK.
And, apart from the dubious, weird Christmas photos & dangling doll footage in Canada, nothing since Tutu.
Louis is turning 2 on the 23rd, Kate will release photos, Megs I’m sure will try to upstage him.
If it’s true she’s doing “family” VF/Vogue? May cover, the magazines will probably hit the shelves around the same time, if not earlier?
Maybe that’s the plan.
Your post is a tour de force. You are a treasure. All of us are better for reading you.
As for the Harkles? Slow-motion train wreck. What is amazing is the efforts taken to paint them as somehow *normal* when the opposite is true. Someday, I'd like to read a "tell-all" by one of the PR people on the incredible gymnastics they had to go through to put lipstick on the Harkle pig.
Normal, ah, there’s nowt so queer as folk, & they don’t come any queerer than Megs.
No rhyme nor reason with her. On the one hand she’s very predictable, on the other, totally unpredictable.
She’s mad!!
As for her Olga Korbut mental gymnastics PR team, they’re burnt out from the start.
I doubt any of them will have the strength, or will, to tell anything for quite a while after they’ve escaped the claw.
Truly bizarre behaviour.
Good on em!
The fact they received security from Canada, thanks to Trudeau, makes me think they expected the same from the US.
Thank you Mr Trump, shot them down from the start!
Their “we were not asking for security” bs, was just that, bs.
Their arrogance still astounds me, it shouldn’t, but it does!
How did they offend Australia? And how did they snub Frederic of Denmark?
Meghan started out markling individuals, then families, then an island and its dynasty and now a country the size of Canada. Adding the US to that would have made it the whole of North America, but Trump stopped that before it started. Never thought I'd have something to thank him for.
My taxes may still be indirectly funding them. Duchy of Cornwall tenants ARE directly funding them no matter how PC presents it. But the Canadian people are no longer being exploited and the American people sure as hell won't be exploited. Meghan loves to be the get things done in a New York minute kind of person and used that to the hilt here, but now she's up against a whole nation of them!
Not sure about the `sheikh' - don't they prefer tender young virgins? Megsy fails on all three counts.
Talking of counts, after 1066 the English counties were administrative areas, under a `count' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_counties_of_England.
Some had been `shires' under the Saxon kings, others were even more ancient `tribal' lands, Sussex being the `land of the South Saxons', Essex that of the East Saxons, Norfolk and Suffolk had been the territory of the North and South Anglian people or `folk'.
Not that we use the French term `count'- the Saxon `earl' is preferred, although their wives are countesses.
There are precious few titles left for Royal Dukes -
`Windsor' was created for Edward VIII and it ended with him, too tainted to be resurrected.
Same applies to `Cumberland'. The last holder, Victoria's uncle became King of Hanover - the title was `suspended' after WWI, presumably because it was too German. To resurrect it now would be a terrible mistake in view of how an earlier duke, William Augustus, conducted the Hanoverian cause in Scotland after Culloden (1746).
`Albany' refers to Scotland north of the Forth, it was used in conjunction with York for the monarch's 2nd son. (`Albion' refers to the whole of the island of Britain - the `Great'
was added by JamesI & VI , presumably from the French Grande Bretagne, as opposed to Bretagne, Brittany). Gaelic name for Scotland is `Alba'. Funny really, it's assumed to mean `white', from the cliffs at Dover, in England - another point I could use to annoy my Scots in-laws
`Clarence' is in France. The last duke was Geo.V's elder brother, Albert Victor, who predeceased his father, the then P.of Wales. He was another dubious character who attracted scandal.
So HM's youngest, Edward, who will presumably be next D.of Edinburgh, had to be an Earl. `Wessex' was a Saxon kingdom - the previous earl, Harold Godwinson (Harold II) died at Hastings 1066. It hasn't existed as a territorial division since then, although Thomas Hardy popularised the name in his novels. More an earldom of the mind.
There is still a Duke of Normandy - HM is `Notre Duc' when she's in the Channel Islands. Yes, Duc, not Duchesse!
Changing the subject, many thanks to whoever posted the link to `One More Day' - I'll pass on to my friends as it's so witty.

Well, I'm glad PC and Camilla can stay there for a while. They'll need to build their strength up for all the unrestrained shenanigans they'll have to face now Harry's completely and visibly Meghan's creature.
Megs offended Australia by stepping on our soil 😉
She apparently threw a fit over banana bread.
She got Admiralty house staff to make banana bread according to her recipe.
Didn’t turn out good so she “berated” the staff.
The Governor General’s wife stepped in to support her staff, & Megs told her where to go!
There is a telling group photo of Harry, with Gov General & his wife, & Megs standing some distance away,
whether madam wanted a “selfie” with the opera house in the background, who knows?
She also offended the Premier of Queensland, she & Harry ignored her, walking hand in hand in front of her, poor woman trailed behind!
Prince Frederik, married to Australian Princess Mary, was at Invictus games. From what I can gather H&M didn’t bother meeting/greeting him.
Rude, even ruder considering his mother Queen Margrethe II is a great friend, & relative of the Queen.
Harry hardly spent any time with the Invictus competitors & their games.
Many wondered why madam gave a speech?
Apparently Andrew had to visit GG to make amends.
But can that really be called a public appearance, with his face smashed against Meg's olive-green caftan?
Yes! Most people, especially the British, are polite and the media gushed over her appearance (later publishing articles that admitted that there most be some estrangement between the Sussexes and Cambridges). The way she held the baby was odd, the way the baby never moved was odd, the way she had no normal interaction with the people around her was odd.
The visit to Tutu was also something people were polite about and gushed over but I can find a dozen things that were odd about that too.
That Meghan is awkward with the child does not surprise me. She is a narc and batsh*t crazy, but I would expect Harry to have a warm, natural, loving bond with his son - but nope.
I have always been insistent that Archie is real, he is their son and she was pregnant and did give birth (but hated the experience, contrary to how she portrayed her pregnancy in the media). My favourite tarot reader insists on the same, BUT in the channelled reading she did for Archie (did not post it but has briefly spoken about it) she said that Meghan turned up easily but Harry remained hidden and there seemed to be some kind of shame with regards to Archie for him.
It is not that we are looking for something to criticise, something to speculate about. There IS something odd about Archie and when the media finally admits that perhaps something is not quite right, they go with the Sussexes or their own invented excuses and it just does not make sense.
Privacy for Archie but go and live in LA where the paps are free to pursue him and the media can publish photos of his face?
A normal life for Archie but drag him from home to home, country to country, continent to continent?
Family life for Archie but cut him off from ALL family of both his parents (Doria is something to be picked up when Meghan needs the photo op)?
There is so much more ... but it is all odd, very odd.
That whole polo match scenario was weird. Meg looked deranged & the way she held Archie looked very uncomfortable.
Kate, the children, & others looked bemused. Wasn’t it reported that Harry disappeared for 24 hours after this?
It is all very odd, & I still don’t believe she was pregnant.

Please, stop blaming Trudeau.
I believe not one minute of any of it, and I believe the whole family is complicit, out of necessity, the necessity of maintaining a front and keeping their cushy "jobs." It really is getting convoluted. If they hadn't forced Charles into that unsuitable charade of a marriage motivated by maintaining the royal lineage (which had been acceptable royal policy until just a tiny bit earlier, historically), they wouldn't have the dim and resentful Harry, and then they wouldn't have . . . you know who.

This whole article is a perfect example of using opposite translation to get the real truth:
The Sussexes are genuinely excited:
The Sussexes are scared shitless and have made a huge mistake.
Their new projects:
They are rehashing old projects because they have nothing lined up, and Meghan has gotten herself blacklisted after the Disney fiasco.
They did plan to launch their post-royal brand, but they hit pause:
Meghan has a tone deaf magazine cover this month flaunting her “Duchess style”, but will wait till Covid dies down for maximum attention on herself as she makes a fuss about the racism she is facing in Hollywood as no one hires her.
They already have funding:
They have no funding and are currently living off of Harry’s spineless dad and the few donations that were given to their now shuttered foundation. They hold out hope photos of Archie and suing people will generate some income.
Why they moved to LA in March:
They would have moved sooner but thought they could trick Canada and the BRF into giving them free shit while locking down million dollar Hollywood deals. They failed miserably and now have not only the UK, but Canada glad to see them gone. They are currently couch surfing in LA.
Agree with what you said about their “freezing” the Sussex Royal” website. I think the site makes them look spoiled and petty. Leaving it alone is like flipping off the BRF.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-are-royal-no-more-and-coronavirus-will-delay-their-rebrand
Note these paragraphs:
On Monday, the Sussexes signed off from their Sussex Royal account with a typical message thanking their fans for their support, a message that appeared to promise the launch, “soon,” of a new account.
The message was notable for the odd syntax, weird grammar, and fuzzy-brained positivity which has become the calling card of the Sussex Royal account.
One particularly poorly edited paragraph that would have earned the ire of any English language teacher read, “As we all find the part we are to play in this global shift and changing of habits, we are focusing this new chapter to understand how we can best contribute.”
Are the gloves off in terms of calling it as it is with the Sussexes?
Sorry for blaming Trudeau, just going by the article.
I didn’t realise that IPP could stay indefinitely, using local security, whilst not on official duty.
Without going too much into it, I have first hand experience of how most people wo are not used to 'having staff' behave, once they have it. I grew up in privileged circumstances, however, new money for sure.
While some members of my family remained down to earth and personable, treating staff like human beings, others immediately started to display contempt and arrogance beyond belief.
I also travel in circles with quite a few billionaires. And boy, those are quite interesting.
MM is clearly deeply insecure. No wealthy powerful person gives two fucks about banana bread. Only an insecure peasant would, hence her hissy fit - she is powerless, nobody cares about her or her opinions so she gets upset at ow hanging fruit.
The billionairesses I know would either make do without their beloved banana bread on an official function of 3 days, or go to the kitchens for 45 minutes to make it themselves. Because for them baking is exotic, like for the poor going to Chanel would be exotic. But we are talking about women with more money than God here, who don't need to berate other peoples' staff.
Polo Archie was a baby who wasn't fed or changed, apparently, the entire time she/they were there.
He was given the side-eye by a couple of Harry's friends who wore strange expressions. Hard to tell if they detected a bad smell, as from a genuine bay with a full nappy, or whether they could see he wasn't real. He was enormous for his stated age and I don't think he moved the entire time.
I don't believe she was pregnant. Her stomach was flat as a pancake in the "night" photos at her baby shower, and she held her bag in front of it. You can see from the way her jeans zip they were not maternity jeans.
I also don't believe any hospital could discharge a 37 year old mom and baby after 7ish hours. That just sounds like more of MM'S trying to convince us, when most of us know that's totally not the case.
I don’t agree the RF have cushy “jobs”
I wouldn’t be a Royal for all the tea in China.
I can’t imagine being scrutinised/criticised for my appearance every time I stepped out.
I can’t imagine having to smile constantly whilst making appreciative comments on basket weaving in Bognor.
I can’t imagine being careful of everything I say lest it be misconstrued.
There’s a price to pay for all their wealth & privilege.
I like your circles hahaha.
“Her” banana bread was for their visit to an outback station affected by drought.
She looked totally bored/disinterested, embarrassing to watch.
She’s very insecure, & her lack of manners is very telling.
I feel sorry for the poor LA staff!
@CookieShark
Nothing would surprise me about MM.
Base, & depraved.
True 'it was a very hot day 'Archie' wore no hat nor were there any signs of covering for him or sun creams wipes a real baby would have been very uncomfortable dehydrsted and cried in that heat crushed against her Katrs children came well prepared up
If it is you yourself on the avatar I have to say you look lovely despite the mask!
Always enjoy reading your posts.
So many great witty people here! Thank Nutty for this blog.
The tour also gave them the opportunity to offend Harry's Invictus partners, who wondered why non-veteran Meghan had been chosen to give a speech."
Are there any sources to this?
Vomit inducing if true.
Is this why she appears to have some sort of leverage? I believe the part of royals being crazy enough about "bloodlines" to go into some considerable length about it.
But the scenario is too bizarre to be realistic. And a bomb.
"During their Australian tour, just before they were about to go to the Invictus Games, Meghan was bawling at her hairdresser to get her hair right, while at the same time someone was ironing the bottom of the dress she was wearing,"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tawccxPpgSk
Harkles are a subject on the 1st 7 minutes. Shows you how much other celebrities think of them.
Andrew made a surprise, unscheduled visit to Oz in November 2018.
He met with the Governor General, & Prime Minister. Recorded in media.
He managed to pitch his company at the same time!
In between the gushing commentaries on H & M it was reported on Australian TV, & other media, that Harry was absent from much of Invictus games.
Negative comments were also made re Meghan making a speech as she is not a veteran.
I think I can reliably trace my distrust and dislike towards Megsy to their disastrous Australian tour.
Point zero was her inappropriate stripy dress with the huge side cut. I thought "What the heck is that??" I also thought Aussies will be offended by such loose protocol. They were not on holiday, it was official visit and as such they should have showed respect to the host nation.
Then came reports about her scandalous behavior towards people on that tour, then came reports about her behavior pre and during wedding, then her dress protocol violations, then hypocrisy, then Archieficial, then Africa, then.....
Maybe she needed Jessica on this tour to bring her the moon bumps? Most royals don't pack for themselves so I don't think MM would have been able to "hide" them in a piece of luggage.
This also may have been what escalated the abuse towards Melissa. Maybe Melissa saw her wearing the bump(s) or found them in her room? But Melissa would then have known something about MM that would have shifted the balance of power between them.
Thank you
You are always so very spot on and drscriptive on all you write.I really admire all the writings on this Nutty blog Nutty too has created a blog they has evolved into something so special it flows wonderfully.
.
Thanks for the updates.
I'm not sure that MM shouting at a hairdresser in an unproven article shows much about how unpopular they were?
I don't see anything that shows they offended the Aussies so badly either, although PA turning up so soon after their trip is certainly very interesting.
Don’t know about the hairdresser?
Maybe have a look at the group photo of Governor General, his wife & Harry, with Megs standing apart?
A picture....
Foreign Tours by the RF are undertaken at the request of the Foreign Office, so if a diplomatic FUBAR is made, it will not be reported in the National Press of either country. After the Australian/Fiji/Tonga etc Tour the New Zealand PM specifically asked that PC go to New Zealand, he went with DOC, another feather smoothing exercise??? Which begs the question why?? Also understand that from the FO point of view SA was another huge mistake.
Is it this one? The body language of the GG sure seems to be leaning away from her

You have to move down a bit.
Man, those gag inducing headlines were less than 2_years ago
"Can anyone shed any light on these statements? 'Finally, the pair were sent on a fancy tour to Australia, where they offended their hosts so thoroughly... The tour also gave them the opportunity to offend Harry's Invictus partners...' Are there any sources to this?"
I would look on Charlatan Duchess. Their individual pieces of text aren't searchable except by their headlines. This seems to be the original source for most of the negative info on their Australian tour.
MM stands apart, at an angle - looking as if she is posing for a different camera, which would produce a shot of her alone, against the Opera House.
Bitch!
There's a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsESXk6mnTc . It's not quite so obvious here but the hair touching is incessant.
This is a link to an online irish magazine May be puff pieces pr
The features on the Harkles date back to the earlier days of the saga. It may be of some interest to recall refresh on events read between the lines
So it’s right that Andrew visited Oz on a peace keeping mission.
I’d forgotten about Charles & Camilla going to NZ.
What an embarrassment H&M are.
https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/g23796309/prince-harry-meghan-markle-royal-tour-australia-day-1-photos/
Probably knows the camera-person...
Ultimately the only thing that we know is that PA went to Oz quite soon afterwards and that's it.
As for photos they can always be taken just at an awkward moment (blinking/yawning/sneezing) that doesn't really mean much at all. I remember being mortified of a photo of myself and an ex taken at a moment when I am looking at them with the most adoring gaze. I remember the moment well and it was nothing of the sort. I think we all know that a snap photo doesn't prove much. A curl of disgust can be the start of a sneeze, and people looking sternly at someone else in a formal setting is....someone looking sternly at someone else in a formal setting.
Oh well, I'm sure she was a nightmare but it's a shame that there are no concrete sources for it. Always seems to be the way with MM.
Totally got it wrong in the picture
But MM isn't one of those. She is the one who always thought she was special. Even when she a deal or no deal suitcase girl. She was very very special. Too special for her family, too special for her friends, too special for her ex husbands, too special for Deal or No Deal. So when she did arrive to the pinnacle of social events, she started showing everyone how special she indeed was. And the only way she knows how to do that is by elevating herself through putting others down. It's the only way insecure ignorant peasants know how to behave. When you talk about an ugly nouveau riche personality, this is it!
The entitlement, the nastiness, the hissy fits, the rudeness. And her repugnant behaviour rubbed off on Harry, who never behaved this way before he met her.
She's the only girl who ever turned a prince into a frog.
That striped dress, with the slit!!
That was the first time she cupped the bump!!
Then bent down so the slit split. The Premier had to follow behind them as they walked, hand in hand.
And yes that's me trying to be fashionable with the 2020 look. 😂😂

Some much needed entertainment here- I roared with laughter at the `proctologist's view' of JH's anatomy and the future relationship of Megapile to his orifice. In future, I shall think of them each time I reach for the Anusol.
Not sure about the `sheikh' - don't they prefer tender young virgins? Megsy fails on all three counts.
Lol just no. If she can't respect a European royal family' protocol, NOOOOO eff-ing way could she survive Sheikh's rules. Sheikhs are *NOT* fun & games like in that Beatles' song.
Tender lamb kebab or steak. Hmmmm. Steak....
I am talking about a group photo in which Meg is standing a few feet apart.
An official photo, with the Governor General of Australia, his wife & Harry.
Not a blinking/yawning/sneezing shot.
>>>Yeah I'm sorry to be pedantic I just see a lot of comments which state facts that aren't really backed up by anything concrete i.e. The Queen said this behind closed doors etcetc.<<<
OMG. Many posters here write what is not concrete, just opinions. Like....
- do you think Meg was not pregnant?
- Do you think Archie was born by a surrogate?
- do believe Archie is older than his stated age?
- do you think Meg has Narcissistic Personality disorder
- do you think it was Meg's plan from the beginning to move to LA all along?
If yes, then there is no concrete evidence to support it. Just opinions. But we Nutties do discuss these as if they are facts (I am one). No harm in opinions by and large.

Royal shock: 'Spoilt' Meghan and Harry left UK after wanting MORE than Royal Family
FOLLOWING Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's official exit as working members of the Royal Family, several experts have spoken out about exactly what went wrong for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
By GRACE MACRAE
PUBLISHED: 01:52, Wed, Apr 1, 2020 | UPDATED: 02:17, Wed, Apr 1, 2020
Some experts have said the problems which lead to Megxit began all the way back in September 2018.
ITV's Royal editor Chris ship recalled the time he saw Meghan Markle speak at a royal engagement shortly after her wedding to Prince Harry, noting just how different this was to anything seen before.
He said: "In September 2018, four months after her wedding to Prince Harry, I watched the Duchess of Sussex speak at an engagement in central London.
"I’ve seen many royal engagements since I started this job, but this one was different.
"We were standing in a marquee in the grounds of Kensington Palace - where, at that time, Harry and Meghan were still living.
"...In this marquee on that September afternoon, Meghan led the way. Harry took a back seat."
"This was her project."
He recalled Meghan's use of her "fame" and "royal connections" in launching a cookbook written by the women of the Hubb Community Kitchen at the Al Mannar Mosque near Grenfell
However, many royal experts have previously said that the Duchess' LA connections and lifestyle is a large part of her leaving the Royal Family.
Some royal insiders have claimed that Harry and Meghan could not be satisfied and just wanted more.
One spoke of how the Sussexes were given their own home at Frogmore, their own Household separate from William and Kate, their own staff, a new hand-picked Communications Secretary, a new Private Secretary, their own offices at Buckingham Palace, more money for the work they wanted to do and their own charitable Foundation to create projects which meant so much to the couple.
Some have even branded the couple "spoilt" over the move, with Meghan already bagging herself a new movie role before the official exit was made........ (excerpted)
My negative sources regarding H&M in Australia are because I live here.
It would not surprise me if this was the case, but does anyone know how to find out if this is true or not?
Thank you
“ She's the only girl who ever turned a prince into a frog”
LOL!!!!!

This train is headed for a crash... and the narrative should take on some interesting twists as it goes off the rails. I really do feel a little sorry for Harry. He really had no good idea what he’s up against.

Those who refused to see him for what he is all these years are finally getting their rose colored glasses taken off. He has always been a waste of resources.
Excuses like "he's Diana's son" and "his dad was an adulterer" are such a waste on my generation. We have seen the videos, photos, and documentaries on Diana. We don't have the connection the loyal Diana cult have. Let the woman RIP. Accept she died from a drunk driver, not wearing a seatbelt, driving wrecklessly. The lead car sets the pace in a "chase" not the follower. Thays why the article that came out back in January pissed me off when it claimed she was being "high speed chase down by paparazzi at night". It is what it is.

When a follower asked Dickie Arbiter why Rach & JCMHFAKP didn't sign off with Archie's name in addition to the "Harry and Meghan", Royal Dickie responded : Better ask the Sussexes.
I think the press knows about Fauxrchie. I think the truth will begin oozing out. I even think that may be why Airmail did the story on $20K Reborns, but that's just my spidey sense, nothing more, and I couldn't read the whole piece. I just see it as supply and (soon) demand, and also, subtle(?) shade thrown right in time for Megxit.
Also, after reading Tom Sykes' statement that The message was notable for the odd syntax, weird grammar, and fuzzy-brained positivity which has become the calling card of the Sussex Royal account. I had to do a fly-by (I hate giving her any click at all), and OMG, that's post is a travesty.
Note to Rach: Grammarly - use it! It won't fix everything, but it's a start.

You're right! Thanks for pointing this out.
This stay-at-home stuff is causing my conspiracy antennae to twitch over every little thing! When I'm not on the internet reading MM stuff, I'm baking or eating. I need to get a grip!
Stay well everyone.
