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.

Comments
Is this Catherine St-Laurent an idiot?
1. Think of all the opportunities Harry and Meghan have had to improve lives because of their position and access to wealth and decision-makers and rest of their network.
2. List everything they each individually and then together have done to change lives. A speech or turning up in designer gear for an event does not change lives. How much money have they raised/donated, how much have they built/created ...? Where are the scholarships and re-purposed homes and recovery time at a holiday resort for wounded vets? Where are the schools for girls to promote excellence and help them to compete in a man's world? Where is the community centre they have created for unemployed women where they can network, look for jobs online, get coaching, learn skills, get free daycare for the kids? Where are the scholarships/sponsorship for those on the front line of protecting and nurturing wildlife and indigenous environments? What have they done since they have been together to help anyone but themselves?
Catherine St-Laurent sounds like an idiot who has not added any depth to her character at all in her time working for Melinda Gates.
Harry and Meghan are going to end up doing commercials and guest appearances for a fee!
@Sandie - It would not surprise me if this was the case, but does anyone know how to find out if this is true or not?
Perhaps reporting a tip to the Daily Mail? DM does love to run with a story and Meghan never remains silent. So the answer from their spokesperson will likely reveal some truth, even if they fudge and manipulate the wording. It would, however, make much sense how they intend to earn their money. If true, it also underscores how manipulative they are to say "we're giving Disney's donation to the charity" when Disney would have donated to the charity regardless of who did the voiceover and to hide that they are earning from the royalties. If proven, it casts quite a darker light on all her other "charity" ventures.
"@Henrietta My negative sources regarding H&M in Australia are because I live here."
No shade intended, Magatha. I didn't know where the quote came from.
"Meghan gets shi* done"
"The lovely Meghan"
Does anyone believe this?
Does anyone give their friends nicknames like this?
I have had co-workers with nicknames like Ant, Doombucket & Screamella the Third
For those saying the Markles didn't ask for security, no, they didn't. They didn't ask us for it either, or Canada. The just expected it, like they expect to be given everything that they want. Trump was simply stating a fact before it became an issue, that's all. Credit to him for that. He would have been aware of how angry a lot of people were at the thought of paying, so his statement simply assured them they wouldn't.
I think the Covid 19 virus will put a BIG monkey wrench into H & M's works. I loved how Trump came down with an immediate smackdown on Twitter about paying for security. Unfortunately, to echo another poster here, Americans can be enamored with silly 'celebrities' like the Kardashians. But what they will not have in the US, is any sort of respect. Harry just has no idea what he is in for! Americans don't typically bow and scrape to anyone. They might buy/watch some of what H & M put out, just out of morbid fascination, but that will end. The Kardashians, for example, have to constantly change what they are doing because the American public tires quickly. The Kardash family KNOW they are cheesy. H & M really don't think they are, so they are in for a surprise!
Just to add to some of the early warning signs, by far the biggest was watching Meg say she didn't know who Harry was. Then the wedding! I've said it a million times, but to watch the utter discomfort and even pain on the faces of the Royals as they stared into their programs was shocking. Yes, some of it was embarassment because of the unconventional service, but that doesn't explain all of it. My sister and I were watching together and were stunned to silence over the way William stared straight ahead, completely on duty only when Meg came to stand on the altar. And Camilla, Kate, the Queen, etc, etc. You get the point. Contrast that to the sheer joy at Eugenie's wedding.
Speaking of Eugenie's wedding, possibly one of the biggest early indicators of a problem was Meghan in that obvious pregnancy coat getting out of the limo. To find out that she told everyone of her pregnancy at the wedding was staggering. Clearly this woman is a narcissist of the highest order!
Archie- I know I am in the minority here but Meghan had Archie. She was pregnant. It's Harry's son and he exists. Meghan wanted intrigue and frenzy around his birth to create some kind of worldwide drama. I don't know where I heard this, but I did hear that the Royal Family has sided with H & M even when they are so obviously in the wrong because of these rumors that Archie isn't real and she had a surrogate and other rumors. I think we need to get away from that rumor and other outrageous ones that just make Harry and Meghan into more sympathetic figures and show them as being targetted. She had the child and it's Harry's. Believe me, that was job #1 the second the wedding was over. Or possibly she was expecting at her wedding. I like the stories about actual things that have happened like in Australia that show her charactor. Just my 2 cents
Harry has always taken orders, first in the BRF then the military then back to the BRF. Now he's wanting change but still can't shake the habit of taking orders so he's sticking with Meghan. At least for now.
Don't believe for a minute that Meghan wants another child right now or in the next year. She just barely got fit and that odd body is further ruined permanently from pregnancy anyways. Now that she's back in LA she's not about to be papped looking bloated and blimp-like. She's planning on being papped frolicking on the beach with Harry this summer. What's likely to happen is that she's done with pregnancy, she'll gain publicity with inability to become pregnant or suffering miscarriage a la psychotic Hilaria Baldwin. Then publicly go with surrogate as a last resort after brave battle with infertility.
Re: Australia, I believe the Governor General of Australia spoke directly with the Queen about the Sussexes’ behavior during the tour. As I recall, this was during a visit to London, but perhaps one of our Aussie Nutties knows for sure.
A (pre-Epstein interview) Andrew was probably a good person to send for a reconciliation tour of Oz. Not too big, not too small.
This article is vomit inducing. New chief of staff gushes about HAMS "Deep commitment to improving lives"? Yeah, deep commitment to improving their own lives.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11302649/harry-meghan-security-la-top-targets-bodyguard/
I just don't think Harry is the target they want us to believe. I think they see a chance to make tons of money.
Not opinion - it's an inference based on observation. Follow where the participants are looking. The trio are all looking at a the same point. Megsy is looking in another direction.
In the DM/Telegraph photo, the trio of PH,GG & MrsGG are looking at the camera that's taking that picture. Megsy is standing at an angle, facing somebody else, and looking at them, someone who is off to our left.
In the Town & Country photo, Megsy is looking straight at the T&C camera, the others are looking to our right. This photo could be cropped unobtrusively to make it all about Her.
She'd clocked the T&C cameraman and was posing for him. T&C adores her.
I’m with Sandie, Christine (and Liver Bird)!
I do believe there is a real Archie, their biological son (not born from a surrogate).
I think MM wanted to have that perfect moon bump that’s why she may have carried a fake bump.
As she loves to stay in the headlines (whether it’s good or bad media coverage), she did everything possible to push contradictory rumors and the secrecy stuff she likes so much.
I also thing she wanted to control Archie’s birth narrative and didn’t want BP to announce it: it turned to be a mess.
The Firm may have been upset but she was happy to be in the headlines in the US.
@ Genia : I think she doesn’t want another child but she has no other choice right now and she knows it might help her:
- Baby II born in the US after lots of rumors that her PR team would push = massive media coverage during 9 months
- The media may be more « kind » to her
- A lot of opportunities to merch
- Possible attempts to restore their reputation
- Meal-ticket number 2 (in the case of divorce)
We are speculating, hypothesising, asking questions, as well as discussing what is reported as fact. We are NOT, however, making unfounded assertions.
All valid in a discussion.
I imagine most of us have had sound experience of higher education so we are used to stating our references, even if we are not using the Harvard System here.

This article is vomit inducing. New chief of staff gushes about HAMS "Deep commitment to improving lives"? Yeah, deep commitment to improving their own lives.
REALITY: The Royally Dumped Dumbartons have a deep commitment to getting PR bullshit out there, about them having a "Deep commitment to improving lives".
Still doesn't explain how she defied the laws of physics when she squatted down and sprung up again unaided, while apparently heavily pregnant eg when she visited the Mayhew.(I posted that sequence of photos some time ago.)
If anyone can find a photo of her even leaning back to counter the weight of the baby, I'd be grateful `for the reference' ie the link. Is my eyesight failing that I've never seen one?
I find it very odd that, if the Governor General talked to the Queen about their behavior they were still dispatched to Morocco where they were not a great success either. And still, even after that we had Northern Ireland (not a hit their, aha) and Africa that turned out to be the nuclear disaster.
The only explanation to this chain of failures I have is their tours had been agreed and planned long before, probably even before the wedding, and pulling them off would mean a mini diplomatic catastrophe with many raised eyebrows.
They could have pulled her and I believe they tried, but both she and Harry threw a tantrum and she remained.
Hmmm ... 16 October 2018.
She was about 2 months pregnant at the time (Archie was NOT overdue - far too small and that squint eye is indicative of a premature birth). Megsy always has a bit of a tummy (it is her posture) so she actually was not showing at all in terms of pregnancy. I doubt she was even experiencing morning sickness at the time.
Why was she dressed for summer? Sydney averages for October (end of Winter/early Spring): 22/14 Celsius. It was not a hot summer's day and I find the way she was dressed odd but she often was tone deaf in how she dressed and presented herself (it was like there was this huge cognitive dissonance between this image she dreamed up and what she actually presented).
She looked excited about being pregnant and on her first tour. I don't think she enjoyed anything about that tour at all and by the time it was ended she had decided it was not the life for her and she started plotting how she cold make changes to being royal to suit her (and when she realised that could not be done in the egotistical way she wanted, because every generation DOES modernise, she plotted and planned her exit for CALIFORNIA).
Anyway, here is the video (gives a more complete picture than photographs) if anyone wants to go down memory lane with Megsy.
I could believe she gave birth to Archie. It sounds too incredulous to think otherwise, doesn't it? But the major stumbling blocks for me are:
1.Changing size. Often within days. Once within the same day. Bigger at earlier dates, smaller later.
2. Her picture in black and white dress in profile with oddly stretched neck (in the care home I think) where her bump is very clearly square. On every other occasion it looks like a globe under her dress.
3. Squatting while squashing the bump in stilettos. I am yet to see a single pregnant woman to repeat the trick.
And the Oscar goes....to:
The baby shower evening, the only occasion where she tried to hide her middle with the tote bag instead of flipping her coat. This is the time where her bump was not visible, prompting a shout from the crowd "Where is the baby?". Just hours ago it was HUGE. Normally very happy to parade herself she tried to sneak out unnoticed and it just didn't work.
Harry Markle has an excellent line of pictures illustrating the above. So, my sense of bullshit tells me something is very fishy went on.
David Spade says about Harry: "First he was a prince, then he was Harry, now he's just a f*ck boy."
Because Meghan never thinks things through, I also believe she wore a prosthetic pregnancy bump very early and then had to keep wearing them, so she always looked much further along than she ever was. She didn’t realize that she would also have to mimic the other signs of pregnancy (the waddle, inability to bend) because she is a lazy crap actress. Assuming Archie was full term, when she vanished in early March, she was about 7 months along.
I think her bump changing size was because she was borrowing regular, non-maternity clothes and then not having them altered so she could send them back. Whichever fake bump fit best, was the one she would wear that day.
On a different topic, I think Catherine St Laurent genuinely believes whatever nonsense the Harkles love-bombed her with. She’s going to become one of the people who gets pulled into Meghan’s tractor beam to provide a veneer of credibility and some assistance in reaching a goal, then discarded when no longer necessary. See also: all of Meghan’s friends from high school and college, all her coworkers before suits, her first husband, Cory the chef, Priyanka chopra, Mayhew, Amal Clooney, Piers Morgan, and everybody she employed in London.
I find it very odd that, if the Governor General talked to the Queen about their behavior they were still dispatched to Morocco where they were not a great success either. And still, even after that we had Northern Ireland (not a hit their, aha) and Africa that turned out to be the nuclear disaster.
The only explanation to this chain of failures I have is their tours had been agreed and planned long before, probably even before the wedding,
I think they were dispatched to Morocco - and at the very last minute, not an advanced plan tour - because, as the speculation goes, MM was planning to make an appearance at the Oscars. Even though she had botched the Australia tour, they needed to keep her away from Hollywood!
Here's the timeline:
Feb 8 BP announces that they will tour Morocco on Feb 23-25. That's only a 2 week heads-up. Contrast this with the Australia tour which was announced on June 11 for an Oct 16 kick off.
So, why the quick arrangements? Word had gotten to BP that MM was going to NYC for a baby shower on Feb 20, then taking a flight to the west coast for the Oscars on Feb 24. The baby shower was an acceptable trip (little did they know), but the Oscars were a no-no, thus the hastily arranged tour.
There is also speculation that the over-the-top fancy caftany thing she wore in Morocco, which was much too dressy for the occassion, was her Oscar ensemble......

I can't accept it was a normal "pregnancy" after this.
I am with you! The pregnancy was a total con job. Photos don't lie.
My mom is gynecologist and obstetrician and I showed her MM's pictures during pregnancy.
Her words: "I can't judge without meeting her in person but in my whole career I have not seen a real pregnant belly behaving like this".
I asked about a pad or fake belly. She shrugged: "If you are really pregnant why you need it?"
At this point I got everything I wanted from her. My only option to explain a changing size pad on a normal pregnant belly is Meghan has serious mental issues, to the point of mental illness.
Is there a single mom here who used pads to look "more pregnant" during a normal pregnancy?
I am a physician. In response to your question, M’s “late-stage pregnancy squat” is suspect. My colleagues and I agree that due to the anatomical changes occurring during pregnancy (and the corresponding shift in the centre of gravity of the maternal physique), squatting with feet together in later pregnancy is virtually impossible to maintain and arise from unaided.
Note that “H” did not come to assist her during this physical feat. Nor did anyone else. She struck this position to receive flowers from a child, and without difficulty returned to standing upright.
Whilst I don’t know about other aspects of her pregnancy, observing her perform this feat suggested to me she was not carrying a child: unless she is superhuman!
The Sussex Duo cannot do anything in a straightforward way, it appears. Even their Christmas card was released and recalled, not just recalled but "Picture Killed" online. Why would anyone need to do that?
@ Wild Boar Battle, there is old footage of MM in her Suits days literally scanning crowds and seeking out cameras. I don't know why I find this habit of hers so revolting but I do. She appears always to be downright posing for the cameras, while everyone else in the RF seems to do everything not to look at them. Her hypervigilance probably comes from her Dad's work as a lighting director (even though she has cut him off) and her work as an actress.
There is a clip of her in SA when Harry is walking with Archie. You can see her motioning to staff, in a very abrupt and rude way, to not block the way of the photographer. She is also looking straight at the camera in the "H&M" ad with Archie that was on the website. On Tumblr, there is footage of her from the Invictus Ceremony in 2017, I believe. She is in the stands with Doria, but she appears to be directing a cameraman to move over. I believe she knew they were there.
My understanding is that the Morocco trip was to ensure that she did not attempt to gate-crash the Oscars. This is from According to Taz on YouTube. The yucky beige caftan that she wore appears to be more appropriate for an Oscars presentation than the afternoon party she went to.
""FWIW, I don’t mind speculation, and I also don’t mind if Bootsy asks where our facts come from.""
@Bootsy said...
""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.""
It would be a nightmare if every poster asked every other poster where they got their facts! So cutthroat. To demand facts from just a 'joe blow' writing on a casual gossip blog. Woooowieee, the blog would go nuclear if we starting demanding facts (which to me are only items one directly observes).
Besides Bootsy wanted to know facts like what the Queen said "behind closed doors"...WTH? Who has those facts, except the Queen and who she was personally talking to. Her staff has NDA's so we won't get the facts Bootsy wants.
Most posters write statements which sound like 'facts', when they are opinions, inferences speculations and guesses...besides the occasional link where we get more of the same opinions, speculation, inferences and perhaps some observable facts some media person witnessed (even the media does not always have 'facts').
Now it is open season for fact finding!
I (3) listen to music most days, as background sounds to my book reading, starting up a new company (not the right time, but in a good way, my partners and I can finesse business details.)
Just H has many songs that are almost written for him .”It Never Rains in Southern California” is very spot on towards this childman. “Jungle land” by Bruce Springsteen is also a warning towards people who “want to be king.” By the way, Bruce Springsteen was tearful when he attended his son’s graduation as a full-fledged fireman for their beloved state of New Jersey. Whatever one thinks of Springsteen’s politics, he is a true and loyal American, who loves his country. His son did not have to be a fireman, or be a part of any service organization or military; his son was taught American values, and the more you have, the more you give back. (Many years ago, I was lucky to have a friend who arranged a song at a Springsteen concert, pointing me out as a “Devil With The Blue Dress On.” I (4) maybe bit biased.
“Lather” is Harry. “Humble and Kind” by Tim McGraw is a song I try to live my life by. Just H should listen to the meaning.

The reason why I don't believe they use a surrogate is the Firm.
I think she may have lied to the BRF about her due date, the place she would give birth, the gender, the hour she went into labour and stuff like that.
However, HMQ, PP, PC, PW would not have permitted a massive fraud which would ruin the Monarchy for good.
To my mind, it's not possible she duped them at that point.
As for Archie, he is her meal-ticket when things will be very bad (desperate case) or when she will badly need to merch (right now because they are broken & jobless).
If we see him in a regular basis, he will become useless for her.
I also believe she is ashamed because Archie is not the perfect baby she would have loved to have (eg. mix-raced baby with blue eyes).
I saw some pictures of Drake's son (Adonis) and I immediately thought this this kid is so cute (without spending hours searching for the good photoshop settings or good posture to make him look good). Meghan must be fulminating each time she sees these cute Kardashian’s/Drake’s kids or even Akeisha Land’s daughter.
I'm always happy to see attempts at proof one way or the other.
However, the linked photos of pregnant women squatting all show them doing it with their their legs apart and bare feet.
We need to see a heavily pregnant woman in stilettos squat with her knees together and get up without assistance.
BIG difference.
I think the BRF was presented with a fait accompli around the time of Archie's birth. Hence the William freeze-out around that time. Fait accompli is Meghan's MO.
Thank you for the links. The most obvious thing - all of the pregnant ladies in yoga postures squat with their knees wide apart and without stilettos. The picture of Meghan I question shows her squatting with her knees together, in high heels.
Yes, I can agree with you it is difficult to believe royal family went ahead with such lies. But this only if they had known about the lies. Imagine they are informed about pregnancy. OK, "We are all delighted". Megs appears with the bump. "We are all thrilled for them". She travels the world showing her bump. OK. Everybody believes all they say. No reason not to. Strange that she refuses to see royal doctors but let's leave them be, shall we? They want privacy.
Then "BOOM!". "Madam, I believe we have a problem. Duchess had never been pregnant". "Is the baby Duke's?" "I believe so, Madam. They used genetic material from the Duke".
How would royals react? I leave this open but suspect the Queen would not do anything to harm the baby and to cause a huge scandal by revealing a highly private information about Harry and his son.
The fact remains she removed Harry and Megs picture from her desk, despite acknowledging existence of Archie.
https://blindgossip.com/the-second-baby/
I don’t believe she was pregnant (stiletto squatting at 8 months? swaying liquid belly that sits way too asymmetrically and moves in non-physiologic ways?), but she must’ve paid them to float that load of crap.
It also says that Harry lost his fertility after his friends goaded him into wearing her ponytail band around his “boys,” before passing out...
The one part that rings of a kernal pf truth is how much Meg wanted William’s sperm,,,
H, you fool. We have a year to destroy your family, make you the biggest idiot in the world, steal millions from fools who believe we have a charity anywhere. And, se anybody who worked for a billionaire for two minutes to make us look legitimate. I know your brains, what is left, but there are people, dying, I mean dying to give to our schemes, right now! Do you want me to eat your head now!”
Mugsy, so this nughtnere is not Apruhl Foos Day? We are left begging from Pa and taxoahyers?”
“You, Just H.”
"Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?" "The same thing we try to do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world."
At the time though, I still believed she was pregnant because I wasn't following the story. It was only after her baby shower that I was suspicious. It made no sense to me that someone who wanted privacy would have such a lavish party when she had married into one of the richest families in the world. When I saw the footage of her leaving the SUV at nighttime, I could tell she seemed to be wearing regular jeans.
Despite basically being pregnant from 2017-2019, there is only one or two photos of me with my hand on my stomach.
It’s a pleasure.
I became aware of all this (and the blog) as a result of patients’ queries and confusion (especially first time “geriatric” Mums whose pregnancy was - shall we say - not as “smooth” as Meghan’s). They had questions (how did she become pregnant so quickly? how can she wear stilettos without ankle edema? why can she seemingly be “in and out” of the hospital so quickly following L and D?). Even bringing photos and videos to their appointments.
One evening a group of girlfriends (all colleagues) and I had a dinner and conducted a “postmortem”; where we analyzed M’s pregnancy. I won’t go into the conclusions, but will say that the video of M squatting in her third trimester with her legs together was a red flag. (There are even medical articles about the shift in centre of gravity, and the ability to “overcome” this “suggests” a “false” pregnancy.)
She rarely touched herself in public and when she did it was in a natural way and just for a second or two!
She didn’t rub herself continuously which I found so. VULGAR.
“Yes. Meghan, we know you are pregnant and we know what you did to get pregnant, you don’t have to shove it down our throats!! “🤮
I won’t find pictures of women working out with stiletto and/or squatting with their knees wide apart (there are several ways to squat but knees shall be opened).
However, seeing these 2 women working out (leg day), I think it’s possible:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX-zO4VFyag (30 weeks pregnant)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JmR-x3Siwk (7 months pregnant)
Every pregnancy/post-pregnancy is different.
As for MM’s weight gain after the pregnancy, she may have binge eating.
I think she tried breastfeeding for 2 minutes. She didn’t like it and hired nannies for night shifts.
@Fairy Crocodile
I assume some tough words were said from both sides before the wedding and the BRF barely talked to H&M after May 2018 but I am sure the Firm kept an eye on them.
If Melissa or RPOs knew about a possible fake pregnancy, HMQ and P.C would have known.
There were so many people/courtiers/staff around them that it would have been impossible to hide such a big one (she lied for the Vogue issue or other secret projects but the Firm knew she was plotting something since the beginning).
There were many reasons why HMQ removed their picture. The most obvious and documented is their poor behaviour (Australia/Morocco tours, baby shower in N-Y, Wimbledon, Lion King premiere, she skipped Balmoral to go to the US Open, their pending trials against tabloids, S.A documentary...).
It’s late in France so I’m off for today :-)
They got me last year, too!
I didn’t believe them either time, but was incensed at their claiming it to be true, both times, without realizing it was an April Fool’s joke. Argh!
Thank you so much for explaining that to me. I’m mortified, but relieved. Phew!😳😅
I have given some pretty odd/funny nicknames, so it's not the nickname that's unbelievable to me; what's unbelievable is that someone would feel fondly enough about Rach to give her a fun nickname, and if those were real nicknames, then they were snarky, and why would Rach want them shared?
_________________________________________
Also, I'll weigh in on the baby/no baby issue. My spidey senses were stirred not because of pregnancy gymnastics on Rach's part and not even the wonk photos - I haven't been pregnant, and I never asked my pregnant friends to do squats in Kiss Me Pumps, so I just don't know.
What I do know is that the bizarre situation with the BRF began to reveal at the time of the pregnancy. It's when the move happened, the secrecy came on full tilt, and then, the birth announcement, right on time after the "overdue" stories and on George Clooney's birthday, no less. More red flags: the BRF weren't over snapping photos and the night before the polo match is when the big throwdown w/William happened, and Kate ignored a baby. Let me repeat: Kate ignored a baby. Something was way whack with that whole scenario.
So, I don't know if it was a surrogate or an alien baby. I don't know if she had the baby but the one at the polo match was a reborn, I don't know. But what I do know is that all of the surreality started with the pregnancy, and it blew from there, and the fact that the press has openly hinted at issues... sorry, there's something odd IMO.
We all have a right to interpret the situation in our own ways, and we can all share that here -- isn't that the purpose of this blog? IMO, what we do not have the right to do is to tell others what is or isn't foolish about our ideas re Rach & H. We can disagree and say why we feel that way, but I think it's just wrong to tell others to stop and believe a certain way. While some, like @Christine may feel that it's time to get away from that rumor and others want proof, I think we just don't know that Rach had the child, and while I do believe the child has JCMKFKAP's DNA, I can't be sure of that, either. I've always really appreciated @Hikari's thoughts, but there were many times I said that I didn't think anything that out there could've happened. Over time, I've become more open to the more out there stuff because this all seems kind of crazy to me. Anyway, JMO, and now I'm going to have a glass of Chard-19.
I think Dickie Arbiter’s tweet about Archie simply meant he didn’t have an opinion to offer. It’s likely that not including Archie in their farewell post reflected the Harkles’ obsession with protecting their “kid”.
I subscribe to Airmail News, and that article about the $20,000 lifelike baby dolls certainly is weird. But the Harkles would have to get a new one every month or two to reflect the growth of a real baby. I want to believe Archie is fake, I really do, but I can’t. Mainly because that baby H and M took to S. Africa looked every inch like their kid—a cross between Harry and Thomas Markle.
Is this H&M?
""JCMKFKAP"
I know the last past but could you please decipher the acronym?
Perhaps 'Just Crazy-Making Knuncklehead Formerly Know as Prince"???
The royal reporter you were wondering about who talked about how disappointed the Fijian women entrepreneurs were when they didn't get to meet MM at the market-place, could it have been Emily Andrews? I saw a social media post from her about the incident on TCD, but that site is chaotic I don't know how to get a link from it. I did a text search in the archives vaguely around the time of their trip.
The post just said she didn't see any security concerns while she was there, but that the RPOs might have.
Honestly, I don't know what I believe except that I know something is way off here, and when facts are summarily dismissed again and again... well, one or two maybe, but these oddities are piling up, and my intuition kicks in. So, we'll see.
>> I want to believe Archie is fake, I really do, but I can’t. Mainly because that baby H and M took to S. Africa looked every inch like their kid—a cross between Harry and Thomas Markle<<
I have no idea what's what with Archie except that something is definitely weird. And IMO it goes beyond actions M might take because she wants to monetize him.
I agree the SA Archie looked like Thomas and JH although I'm not sure I think the resemblance was as strong as it seems you might. Nor does that convince me there's nothing odd going on. But IMO that baby didn't look much at all like the "Harry walking on water" Archie photo released only a few months later. Nor like the "kill order" Christmas Archie photo. While babies do change, we're talking about photos taken within barely a 3 month period.
I can only speak from experience when I say that 1) wearing stiletto heels when pregnant was anathema. Let alone in four or five-hour engagements. 2) Bend down and get back up again with legs closed? Hahahahaha 3) No breast enlargement? Please. Even if, as I chose to do, not to breast-feed, still our breasts enlarge. 4) What was up with the folding stomach? 5) Who the H311 poses so obviously in public "cradling" the baby? NO ONE, that's who.
Sorry. I am in the "somehow, this is a hoax on the world public stage" camp.

I just hope that none of the men she targets will fall for her.
"Because if she faked it .....I can’t find words, so your[s] will suffice...it would indicate mental illness and that is why I want to know."
FWIW, I don't think MM faked a pregnancy because she's mentally ill. I think she did it because she's known all along that she can't carry a baby to term and she knew she needed one to hold onto Harry. How she got Harry to go along with it -- well, we know at least part of the answer: She announced her pregnancy to his family without his knowledge or permission. And then I think it happened a lot like Fairy Crocodile described. The faux pregnancy was well under way by the time the rest of the RF found out about it.
They must have set up the surrogacy before she faked being pregnant, if only because of all the fighting in Australia. Then she had to look very pregnant very fast in order to time her pregnancy with the surrogate's, thus her looking like she was already finishing her first trimester at the formal Fiji dinner. The blue dress was very beautiful, but she must have been wearing a faux bump.
The bump had to have come from somewhere. It's not like she could have had it delivered to the GG's house.
Don't forget Harry lost a testicle early on. Not convinced this was an obstacle, but surely a signpost.
Too many questions, too many left unanswered.
No smoke without fire.
Sorry. I like answers.
I think that HFKAP may not have even known, at first. I think it was only later when the truth had to be outed for whatever obvious reasons. I think that the BRF found out much later, thru back channels only, so that they could maintain plausible deniability. I've no doubt that the BRF knew at some point, but I don't think it can be proven that they knew at any point, and that would be the BRF's goal to maintain plausible deniability. But something happened, and the awful fight before the polo match between William and Harry - something caused that, and based on the very odd outing and Kate ignoring a baby...
Elle, LOL, yes, she'd have to "settle" beneath her expectations and end up with a Polyester John who has lots of flashy cash and wants a mommie wife. A perfect step dad for Archie, right?
https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harry-has-a-rude-new-nickname-after-moving-to-los-angeles-hollywood-harry.html/
Just saw this. Apologies if already posted.
If I was her, I would have bit the bulet, play nice, spend sometime getting a huge public following and popularity via charities etc. (this is from the Diana PR playbook, It is obvious she had really great PR and played the sympathy and charity card, which served her well post marriage). Also allowing the public to see Archie form a connection andcare.
AND THEN do the whole personal gratification thing. BY that time the RF will be less willing to screw her over with her gaining the popularity vote. But she is a idiot, she went straightfor the glory and her dimwitted dishcloth of a husband (who is just as celeb hungry) went along for the ride.
There is no way in hell they aren't going to put themselves in the media as much as possible. As exhibitionist narcissists it isn't in their DNA to have a "quiet life".
I am working from home, which since my work isquite complex and classed as a "essential service" is a interesting experience :)

How did Harry lose a testicle? Was this reported anywhere? Another reason for his insecurity/inferiority complex?
Knock, Knock
Who’s there?
Harry
Harry who?
Harry FKAP
Who?
Yeah I overlooked him because I was not going to list him bc he was the poorest. He girlfriend since 2018 is a singer by the name of 'Grimes'...poor girl , she is creepy looking. Now that I've seen her I think Meg might have a chance (considering his taste in women).
@Lt. Nyota Uhura
@Mimi
I can't for the life of me see what a normal, highly successful, incredibly wealthy man would see in Meghan. She got the perfect victim in Harry. She hit the Lottery with him by having/securing a child.
Meghan makes my skin crawl. Poor woman is ugly to me and I think a good part of it is because of her character (or rather lack of).
Now what I know and have seen regarding Harry, I would not have him if the Queen offered me her kingdom!
I would like the truth to be told about the while mess. Facts regarding Meghan's yacht days (this Bootsy I want facts, hard facts), about how Harry and her met, Soho connection and explanation, Archie parentage, and the real reason why they did leave the UK (although I think its just because Meg wants to be a Hollywood star).
I'm in camp not pregnant.
Her breasts did not appear to be enlarged while in the Australia video. That happens at six to eight weeks. If you go by Archie's birthday back, she should have been about ten/eleven weeks. Even if she were only eight, shouldn't she be showing something?
All the bump shifting from side to side. I have never seen any pregnant woman produce movement like that. Or shift sizes. That was really odd.
Or the lack of pregnancy waddle.
The being able to pop up and down on heels, with the legs together but yet need to hold onto JH while walking doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
The whole not wanting to have access to the best possible doctors for a geriatric pregnancy. We still have no idea who the doctor was supposed to be. No names on the birth announcement? How normal is that?
Or the announcement that the birth had happened. What an unfortunate series of "accidents"? (I did love Confederacy of Dunces).
Nor did the wearing white at the video combined with the touching of the soft spot and that whole response about when asked to get a peek of the baby, they make no attempt to show off. No response by the baby. It was the whole intense setup for Diana or Katherine on the steps outside the hospital and all the world is watching.
The christening. Nothing normal about it. From the participants to the photo.
And the polo visit - that was just crazy with the holding the baby in a death clutch but the baby never moved in response to the pressure. It was, however, a nice preview of the happening to be walking the dogs and baby in the park later.
The lunch which did/didn't happen.
All the celebs who have had a chance to hold the baby but didn't take a picture? And that the stories for the timing of meeting the baby were squishy.
In SA, with a living baby who doesn't get to meet other mothers with kids his age or that he wasn't looking for either of them. How did the socks not fit and no one noticed before they left their home in the UK? Kids grow fast but not outgrow socks overnight? Who packed the suitcase?
And the list goes on.
I think of probabilities. I can see 1, 2 of these kinds of crazy (because an odd thing can happen) but so many each and every time over such a short time period? It's up there with winning lottery ticket numbers.
FrencieLiv, I looked at the triplet video and she has editing so that she is bending but then upright. And all the weightlifters had their legs apart. I was however impressed by their ability to lift at that stage.
Don't forget Harry lost a testicle early on. Not convinced this was an obstacle, but surely a signpost.
Yep, and he lost the other one to Rachel 30 years later. Poor Harry FKAP.
Yep. I have a vision of Ralph Cifaretto from The Sopranos behind Door #4 lol.
And exactly on why Kate ignored a baby. It's why I love Kate so much - she inspires me with her "stoic composure". She is grace and calm, and she does the right thing. I wish for that daily. And if she knew that was Fauxrchie under the blanket, then she would definitely stay away to avoid just the scenario you describe. I can imagine the fight the night before when Harry broke the photo op news to W&K and put them in that position.
@Magatha lolololol perfect! And AbbyH, excellent bullet point.
In the royal family, popularity does not give you more status or more money or more influence (someone like Meghan, and perhaps also Harry, just could not accept this). Some monarchs have been extremely unpopular and most have gone through a period when their popularity has taken a nose dive.
What does popular mean?
liked or admired by many people or by a particular person or group
(of cultural activities or products) intended for or suited to the taste, understanding, or means of the general public rather than specialists or intellectuals
Popularity is very important to some people in today's world, but it has not always been like that, and people who make a real difference and bring abut change do not do so through popularity.
Was Einstein popular? No, but he changed how we view and understand our reality and world and will never be forgotten in history.
Was Shakespeare popular? Probably not (and was actually not even considered a great writer ... he had some significant critics who slated everything he did with derision), but he is considered a giant in literature and will never be forgotten and has been the most influential literary figure for school children for many generations.
Do you know who Sir Roger Penrose is? Nope? He is the living Einstein of today whose work, with a team of people, will change how we perceive reality and our world and will thus enable human beings to evolve and make progress...
The one thing that confuses me re THE polo match. So, MM shows up with a baby of some sort. It seems very random, very improvised. There is no secrecy, there is no GRAND entrance for She Who Must Be Obeyed and her offspring.
Why? After the brothers have a big fight the night before?
To prove she is as good as Kate--jealousy
To upstage Kate and family--center of attention
To be a loving wife [whatever love is] in support of her husband or perhaps JH mandated she show up?
She shows up with a baby. She knows there will be people milling around, people possibly coming up to her [clearly there are people who look like regular polo types very close in proximity and some guy in a blue jacket who does not look like a security type admiring the baby] and the press with cameras with telephoto lenses.
My question, if it was an Archiefaux, EVERYONE there just plays along like this is all normal?, even for MM, this takes balls to show up at a public event with a fake baby.
I do admit the photos look awkward, the baby is still, held funny, Megs is in her big tent. But, maybe it is just that?? I don't know. It is one thing for the BRF family members to fake it, but the general public????
The maddening part of this is that every point you raised is valid. My doubts are valid. Hikari's detailed theories are valid. Nutty's posts raise big questions. Abby H has a great bullet point list. None of this fits, but all of these oddities can't be explained away. Some, yes, but all?
That's how we humans get into trouble believing people who aren't honest - we one-off their lies instead of looking at the pattern of their behavior. We believe the individual excuse. We explain the possible legitimate reasons. Instead, we should look at the pattern of behavior that is so questionable that it must be constantly explained away. The actions and behaviors of an honest person with integrity and decency doesn't need constant rationalization and explanation because they are, on the surface, solid. Rach's actions and behaviors are anything but.
Thanks! Elle! I have never seen a reborn in person...did not know they could breath...!
Really appreciate your thoughts and synopses.
Thank you for the eloquent articulations.
And bringing syncretic examples together to provide a larger picture to the puzzle.
@FrenchieLiv I respect your opinion but your videos don’t convince me. My take: All those videos you posted, they are barefoot and have their legs open while squatting. There are cuts to the video of the mom with triplets. If you look closely, she struggles at certain points. Meg’s belly also folded, sashayed, and was okay with nonstop long flights. Too many more shenanigans for me to believe Meg didn’t pull a fast one.
We are talking about the BRF. Everyday people pull off crazy masterful cons. If they have to, with stiff upper lips the BRF will carry on and make damn sure they have plausible deniability. They clearly don’t have full control of Meghan and she seems ready to push all boundaries. Something is very wrong with this Archie situation. Something is crazy-sauce wrong with Archie!
(1) That BG item was pushed out there to diffuse those persistent rumors Meg had a surrogate. Maybe she’s going for a girl this time. Maybe this is a seed for cheating rumors so they can finally divorce.
(2) Meg gave Archie the middle name Harrison so eventually she can call him Harry Jr. Maybe even Prince Harry Jr.
I still remember Camilla and Kate on the balcony on Remembrance Sunday when William, leaving the Cenotaph, couldn't get away from Harry fast enough. Camilla momentarily gave herself away by looking at Kate to either share or see a reaction in Kate, but Kate stayed completely regal in the best sense of the word. She stayed focused on William, and you just sensed how much she supported him and yet understood and accepted royal requirements and behaviour deep in her bones. She's definitely royal now. Took me years to see her that way, but she's arrived.
As I've said before, I'm just old enough to be her mother, but she can and does teach me a thing or two. Seeing her photos makes me smile too. Makes me feel there is still some colour and order in the world and, more importantly, the importance of loving and caring for my family and friends, and continuing to make an effort to be my best self.
That last one - continuing to make an effort to be your best self - is at the core of Kate. Like the time she made sure William kept revising for his finals when his family and the tabloids were going crazy about something (can't remember what - happens so often). She kept him steady all those years ago and she's doing it now.
Here's a video that I can't even watch because it just freaks me out too much, but it gives you an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ66byeRkEI

I didn't even play with regular dolls when i was a child, so as an adult, I had no idea about these until i met that woman and Archie came along. It still freaks me out when I think of it (although i did torture my brother with a photo of reborn blond twins that looked just like us lol). So, anyway, IDK, but see what you think after seeing the above (if you can get thru them, that is).
You're welcome, S - I am usually happy with somewhat "lucid" so syncretic is a real compliment :)
@Ava C, I do hope Kate reads here so that she can read what you wrote about her. It's just really touching, and exactly why I love her essence. She really does have that same impact on me that you describe.
And REALLY, not kidding re the WARNING for those doll links.... SHUDDER
I expected her to get dumped, even before the engagement was announced, when that `She's Just Wild About Harry' Vanity Fair article appeared, simply because she blabbed to the Press. That's a big No-no.
PC was going out with one of Diana's sisters (not sure which one without looking it up) but she gave a Press interview and he dropped her instantly.
Diana did it - bad move.
Camilla and Catherine? Both were silent all the years they were being slammed by the media.
Then Megzilla didn't appear to know how to behave in the engagement interview - OK, she's not a Brit so it's something she'll have to learn, I thought. Smart society is less critical of an American making a faux pas that they would be of a Brit.
Her claim that she was going to `modernise' the Monarchy struck a real bum note - Couldn't she see that she wasn't being interviewed for the CEO's job?
A big blunder came when the interviewer said something about her humanitarian work and the possibility of using her new role as a `platform' - oh dear! She gave the completely wrong answer..
"Int: And Meghan given your acting and the profile you had, you've already been involved with various causes, you've been an ambassador for UN women. What about this new role? You're going to have a bigger platform, a bigger voice, what do you want to do with it?
Meghan Markle: I mean...
Prince Harry: Sing.
Meghan Markle: (laughs) Can you imagine? No. I'm not a singer. I think what's been really exciting is we talk about the transition of this, out of my career but into the role is that, as you said the causes that have been very important to me I can focus even more energy on, because very early out of the gate I think you realise once you have access or a voice that people are willing to listen to, with that comes a lot of responsibility, which I take seriously.
And at the same time I think in these beginning few months and now being boots on the ground in the UK I'm excited to just really get to know more about the different communities here, smaller organisations who are working on the same causes that I've always been passionate about under this umbrella, and also being able to go round the Commonwealth, I think it's just the beginning.
Prince Harry: There's a lot to do. There's a lot to do.
Int: And it's an immense change. You're getting a new country out of it. A husband, obviously."

She should have said something like `I hope to continue that but, of course, my husband and our Royal Duties must come first.'
Instead, it was all about her.
My verdict? `She's got far too much to say for herself.'
What about when Nicholas Witchell, the BBC Royal Correspondent, was dumbfounded at the carry-on over Archie's birth?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfaTCbLZwZA
Even before the wedding, I expected a quick baby and then the move to California, after megabucks. Then a profitable divorce for her. All too predictable but it's been been far worse than I imagined.
I don't believe she was pregnant, for all the reasons we've given in the course of this blog, eg not avoiding zika virus.
The idea of a woman getting pregnant easily at her age isn't a problem to me - my conception must have been a 38th birthday present for mother, a prima gravida. My birth was unattended but quick and easy.
I shouldn't try speaking for other Nutties but I daresay I'm not the only one who is trying to work out just what the h*ll is going on. Attempting to sort out what's real, what's true and what are lies, what's going on behind their smokescreens.

Yes, April Fool! It originated in the Daily Mail -
I like Ms `Proll'= `prole', geddit?
It all started with a TV programme about the spaghetti harvest in 1957...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti-tree_hoax
I recall the spaghetti used to be sold under the slogan `Made in Britain by Italian craftsmen'.
I’d love to see that footage of the Swiss farmers “harvesting” it. Thanks for sharing the story!
A few points I have not seen mentioned--
I read JH had an undescended testicle that was corrected at some point when he was younger. IDK the effects of that condition/surgery on fertility. If he put a ponytail holder around one of the boys that sounds painful!
No one has mentioned Rach's obsessive, obscene, and continual coat flicking during her "pregnancy" to show off her "belly." There are numerous videos showing that behavior.
I remember that she showed up hurriedly and unexpectedly at the polo match (looking like a madwoman) in the Army tent with the unmoving doll because she learned that Chelsy was attending the match and did not want to leave JH alone with her. It was also reported JH went AWOL after the polo match for at least 24 hours. All very odd.Around that time there was speculation they were living apart, too.
IMO the christening baby, SA baby, and JH walking on water baby all look like different babies. I think walking on water baby looks like pics I have seen of baby Rach.

Smiling Chelsy has fun watching Prince Harry compete in charity polo match... despite him losing
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
8 June 2008
Above are some charming retro photos. From the good and normal Harry era. Where did all this go? But I don't think Chelsy was at the parading around the Arch doll polo match.
>>IMO the christening baby, SA baby, and JH walking on water baby all look like different babies. I think walking on water baby looks like pics I have seen of baby Rach.<<
I agree. (Somewhere I had made a similar comment.) The Walking on Water Archie does look like Meghan as a baby. And unlike SA Archie (photos from Sept 25) he looks nothing like Harry. Except for some eye wonkiness, the Water Walking child (to me) looks absolutely nothing like Christmas Card Archie. Of course, different people see different things in a baby's face.
We know the Christmas card photo had to be taken by Dec 23. The Water Walking photo was posted to their IG about a week later on Dec 31. That photo was supposed to be taken in Canada. If that's true, that photo had to be taken between mid-Nov and Dec 31. I just don't think a 7-month old baby's face changes that much in a (maximum) span of 6 weeks.
It's possible the Christmas card Archie's face was distorted by the depth of field focus used by the photographer but they look like different children to me. We all have asymetrical facial features but those structural differences usually don't change much. Christmas card Archie's mouth is in an odd position but even so, looking at his face straight on, the nostril on the right (his left) is noticeably higher in relation to his eyes and the bottom of his ears. That wasn't the case for SA Archie in the photos taken straight on of his face.
Christmas card Archie's chin seems to noticeably point to the left (his right) and that wasn't the case for SA Archie. It's *possible* the Christmas card photo was reversed (despite loud denials of any photo alteration from the photographer) as there *may be* a hint in the photos that SA Archie's chin points the other way (to the right, his left.) In fact, this could be a Markle trait as there is a hint of the same asymmetry in the chins of M's half-sibs. (Can't tell with her father since he wears a beard.)
In other pictures going back to the christening, it's been Archie's left eye that turned in. Both eyes turn in in the Christmas card photo so it's not possible to determine if the photo is reversed that way. If there was a reversal though, it's only Archie's face that was reversed. His sweater buttons appear on the correct side for the sweater he's been identified as wearing. And reversed or not, SA Archie's ears seem to protrude more.
I do find myself wondering about Harry's "they change so much in 2 weeks" comment. At the time I assumed Harry goofed and almost gave away that Archie was born earlier than stated. But maybe it was a clumsy attempt to set up the idea of an ever-changing Archie.
This is probably something Harry was told with great authority by Doria and/or Meghan and so he was just repeating it for the sake of something to say. I think we are only realising now how very much Meghan is in control, and perhaps Doria as well.
I suspect that Meghan and Harry spend such little time with the child (he is with the nanny most of the time, with occasional visits from parents that are treated like state occasions) that they would not notice if there were different versions of Archie (or would state with conviction and authority that babies change so much so quickly)!
Folks, I agree that there is something odd about Archie and that the pregnancy and birth was just not normal, BUT when you look at the complete mess they have made of Megxit at every step (really folks it is more messy than throwing mud at a wall repeatedly in the hope that something will stick) I doubt that they could actually plan and put into action a secret surrogacy or fake pregnancy and doll baby or a number of babies acting the part of 'the baby' AND get the Queen and Prince Phillip to pose with the baby (and Doria, dressed for the photo op) and Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and Diana's sisters turn up for a christening and then pose for a formal photo.
What I now have no doubt about is that if Archie was born to a surrogate mother, Harry would have gone along with the deception without question and they would have had help from someone organised and very discreet and with far more intelligence and common sense than the two of them put together. Secrets do not stay hidden: the surrogate and this person who organised it all for them knows, the hospital staff at the hospital where Meghan was supposed to have had the baby knows, the driver and RPOs who supposedly took Meghan to and from hospital know, the officials who registered the birth and arranged for the adoption know ... too many people who would know and tell.
1. Harry is completely controlled and dominated by Meghan even though he convinces himself that he is in charge. He is not ... of anything. Harry cannot behave normally as a father because Meghan will not allow him to.
2. Meghan is a narc who is compelled to dominate and control everything (to the point of irrational craziness) and treats people like objects of a transaction or a prop for her show (that 'love' she feels is when she gets what she wants from the another - status, adoration, control, wealth, unquestioning support ...). Archie is a thing to be controlled and used by her (I still put my money on a high-end magazine feature with photos of her as an earth mother/funky cool mother, but Archie obscured because it is all about HER - she loves both images for PR - but also as sexy beautiful smart woman, so get rid of Archie for those pics).
Next Husband - Meghan should take a page from Louise Linton's playbook (wife of US Treasury Sec. Steve Mnuchin). LL was a bit-part actress who hooked up with a Wall St. financial guy and is now a "producer" and "executive" making her own movies in HW, presumably on Steve's dime. The guy is worth $300M, so while not a billionaire, certainly more money that Harry. She's 39 and attractive, so to a guy like Steve who is pushing 60, below avg looks, twice-married with 3 kids, she fits the arm-candy role. While Steve had HW connections, that was his side-job. No guy who makes money in HW is going to tie himself to Megs for a long-term relationship, but someone who makes his money on Wall St (or a successful businessman) would probably like the somewhat royal status she brings. And, Megsy can use his money to buy her way into HW since none of her other plans seem to be working.
Nobody but MM and Harry are shown holding Archie as an infant. There were reports that M M was such a doting mother that she wouldn't let anyone else hold him...including the nanny. They went through, what, three Nannies in a couple of months. Then got one that was supposedly a WOC, but she has never been snapped, even though the Cambridge nanny, Maria, is often snapped and we know her name.
No photos of the Queen, or Charles or of Doria holding the baby.
Who are the Godparents, who would presumably hold the baby during the Christening?
My point is that if a reborn doll breathes, etc. Could she have passed one off as an infant?
Maybe...
My point about the list of oddities is that for about 18.5 months, it was a constant stream of as you are looking at something which didn't make sense and then being hit between the eyes by the next one.
One, two in that time period? I could see that. The world can be a weird place but so many? And all so closely spaced?
It was a tsunami.
And the more you try to come up with an explanation, the more convoluted the explanations have to get to explain this or that little niggly.
If someone (who knew a lot about how to get a baby) gave her a general plan to follow, all she had to do was follow it more or less. Maybe just seeing if they could do this was the thrill for both?
Could she have pulled it off by herself? nah, but if she had JH buy in once it was going, he could have pressured people to do things because he was who he was ... and once you have someone doing something not quite on the up and up (bending rules), there can be increased pressure to continue to comply or else.
IDK. Interesting speculations.
There is a very cute story in The Star:
After breaking up with the royal family, Harry and Meghan have now divorced Canada

David Spade has a video up on Youtube

Harkles are a subject on the 1st 7 minutes. Shows you how much other celebrities think of them.
@ Jdubya: Interesting fact: David Spade’s sister-in-law was Kate Spade, the late fashion designer who committed suicide in June, 2018. She had been married to David Spade’s brother Andy since 1994.
The WOC nanny - yes, I've seen a pic!
It was at the time they took the private jet to /see Auntie Elton. I didn't think I'd found out to comment then. There was at least one video in GERMAN, based on what I suspect was recording from a concealed camera. Either that or to person holding it was only 3' tall.
Does anyone remember? They published photos of themselves boarding the plane but `Arch' was was almost completely concealed - except in the film I found. There were also shots of the opulence of the passenger `lounge' - vast, overstuffed armchairs.
The photo of `Meghan boarding with baby’ shows just one baby heel.

It appears whatever transpired with Archie has contributed to the situation within the royal family and speed of Harry's fall out. What have we seen and heard so far:
1. Odd behavior. Coat flicking, changing bump, no change in appearance you expect from a pregnant woman.
2. Refusal to use traditional royal doctors.
3. Overall secrecy and confusion over the place of birth, time of birth, doctors present. I happen to know the name of one of the top consultants who signed Kate's birth announcement, he is a very top surgeon in London's leading hospital for women's health. It is odd a geriatric mother like Megs didn't have him in her team. He is the very best in his field.
4. Bizarre circumstances surrounding Archie's arrival and christening. Harry's odd remarks.
5. Secrecy surrounding kid's appearances in public, attempts to hide him from the press, family, general public.
6. Odd inconsistent sizes of the kid in pictures. His limp and lifeless appearance as well as strange lack of affection for his parents.
7. Bizarre Christmas picture that made me think there is something wrong with the kid.
8. Lack of traditional family shots where the kid is clearly visible at various stages of his development.
All of the above is circumstantial but put together brings me to the conclusion something did transpire that made the crisis in the RF deeper. Archie may be a real child but something is off with his story.
Was this the other remark you refer to about Archie?
It made by biographer Tom Bower during an interview on GMB uk
'When she didn't tell the truth about Archie's birth, when she tried to deliberately confuse people about the time of the birth'
I'll look forit, WBBM!
Auntie Elton - ha ha ha!! I used to respect elton john but he is now a parody of himself.
Bloggers before pointed out articles in non-Englsih speaking countries openly discussing Megsy's mental problems.
It appears to be an open secret that she suffers from a number of mental issues.

In discussion about the nanny, no one has mentioned if they brought her with them to the US. There has been lots of discussion about Harry’s visa status, but a non-American nanny would need a working visa. And if the nanny was an American, then how was she allowed to work in the UK and Canada? Did they use hire-a-nanny, just like their new hire-a-security, when they arrived in the US?
That would be so cruel if Archie is in his 3rd country, 3rd house, and has his 3rd or 4th nanny, all before the age of one. Babies need stability and consistency. For that reason, I hope Archie is fake and they don’t have a baby with them. JH keeps blathering about protecting his family, but he hasn’t done anything that’s been in Archie’s best long term interest so far.
>>.Also, she's probably going to have to go older, but I think weak and dumb are the most important qualities b/c after this global spectacle de merde, no way she can fool a smart one. I could be wrong, however, but IDTS.<<<
No way. 'Weak and dumb' are not millionaires and certainly not billionaires. Anna Nicole Smith got the last one. that Texas Oil Tycoon, Marshall was his last name I think. And she had a lot more ahemmmm, 'assets' and beauty than Meghan.
Did anyone else notice that an image in Prince Charles' library at Birkhall was identified as a photo of Archie by our old friends the Daily Mail?
The person pictured looks to be about a year old, but my guess is that it is William. What do you think?
It looks nothing like South Africa Archie.

"The WOC nanny - yes, I've seen a pic!"
This is the woman who is opposed to be Saundra Johnson, MM's maternal aunt. But I got that off a DM comment board, so it is strictly a rumor.
I disagree lol. There are plenty of them. Trust fund kids born every day. Actors and scammers who dumb luck into it. They're out there.
I doubt that is Archie. He was born in May 2019. By end of Summer in the Northern hemisphere he was only 4 months old; he was in South Africa in the beginning of Spring, but even then I doubt he was old enough to sit unaided and play.
It looks like William in the photograph but could be Harry (does not look like either of William's sons).

CatEyes did a great back of the envelope estimate on the cost of the Harkles security. That got me to thinking. Of course we are all upset over the cost of the security (especially who foots the bill and where does the money come from--taxpayers? etc.), but we never stopped to ask how many OTHERS the Harkles employee, what is the cost, who pays (not MeMe, she NEVER SPENDS HER OWN MONEY EVER), and where does the money come from. They must have, in addition to security personnel, a chef, housekeeper, nanny (at least one), maids, private secretaries or personal assistants. So what, at least six other employees? Who pays for them and more importantly where does that money come from? PC of course but the Duchy is really tax payer money when you break it down. So can we say that in effect the UK taxpayers (at the time of a world wide pandemic) are indeed footing the bill for these two to live in another (not even common wealth) country?
Have lost almost all respect for PC at this point (and maybe dropped some for HM as well).
Be a father for once in your life Charles, show some tough love.

Meghan is not desirable to be a mommy-wife to a Kid "born every day". That shipped has sailed a long time ago. Cougar material she is not.
She's 39-44, depending on what source. She doesn't even look naturally young. She is pumped full of filler just about everywhere and wears butt pads and has fake teeth and a redone nose and probably has little good hair. Eeeewww!
Texas (and Calif.) men I can tell you prefer 'natural' over 'fake'. Also good men don't care for women who sleep around and she is not the paragon of virtue, the kind of woman a man wants to bring home to Mom. Plus who wants 'sloppy seconds'.
Mean of means can get their pick of women worldwide and I don't see Meghan has any cachet. She doesn't bring anything to the table but a bad reputation, nasty temperament, incessant demands, no talent and a young kid (along with her other baggage).
I don't think she will marry again, at best she will be what my Grandmother derisively called a mere ''live-in'. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free. And Meg is a cow in every sense of the word.

Guilt-ridden, eh? So what's he going to do about it?
It's too much of a coincidence that this report comes out the day after there was something positive about his brother.

People who know how she really got her roles will speak. She is too obvious, too eager to get to the Hollywood elite and Harry is too stupid and too dishonored to demand respect. They will smile in their faces but laugh behind their backs. Disney's fiasco is a common knowledge.
Hollywood biggies change their tune very quickly. Oprah just announced she will donate 7 million to covid response. This is the new vogue, they will all donate to show they care and yell about their donations. To conform Dumbartons will have to part with a huge pile of cash for the benefit of their new motherland.
First, they don't have it. Second, imagine the backlash in UK!

Totally different Monograms between Queen Margrethe and Megsy. Meghan didn't copy. Crown is completely different and well a 'M' is a 'M' in both languages lol. But 'M' style is different. No comparison in my eye for details.

Agree the honor bar is very low in HW and few would care about saucy videos and photo kicking around. Majority however doesn't pretend to be virginal royal brides wearing priceless historic bandeau and don't have this "hollier than you" air around. They also tend to make money themselves.
Wouldn't you concur if we can read her here easily so folk everywhere will? If somebody starts clouding others will simply whisper "Lion King, Bob Iger, Elephants" and the cloud will dissipate.
Also the Greta prank was such a laud laugh!
Should we sit and wait for Dumbarton magic to work itself in HW?

I am not getting off. I will report you to your service provider for your behavior towards me.
Why the need to announce any of it?
Their Instagram lasted about a year. In the Fall they went on a mandated break. In January they announced their progressive new role, fled to Canada, now in LA and want to rebrand.
I have not always been good at my jobs, but this is some Harold Hill next level scamming.
Why do they do all the stupid things they do? Because they don't listen to anybody and feel like the whole world owes them.
They must believe rebranding will make them instantly successful, especially if Insta bends the rules for them and transfer all their followers.
Let's see what they will promote. The world has moved on since they announced separation from RF> They are already old news.
I think the rebranding is Markle keeping the self promotion going and moving on to her next hustle. It's who she is.
See? That’s MM’s target mark - a very elderly billionaire. She won’t settle for “just” $30M next time. The only reason I can think of for her to marry JH was his royal connection and the potential of exploiting it to make money. She might end up thinking it’s much better to marry a billionaire and not have to hustle.
If you were a billionaire what would you gain marrying her? Dove eyes? There are plenty others who can make them. Younger, fitter, more beautiful with less luggage. Because she is "royal"? She will lose her title after re-marriage.
I am honestly at a loss why would a seasoned elderly rich guy want her. Plus with kids from previous relations. I am sure his kids will make sure the pre-nup is brutal.
Agree. She's an exhausting lunatic. What elderly billionaire would choose her? She's not attractive, young or interesting enough and comes with too much baggage.
We are in dark times. Our own humanity is being tested.
In Nutty's own words, please be kind. "God bless us everyone"
and may we all come out of this on the other side.
@FrenchieLiv, thanks for the articles. I read the last one, the interview with the Elephant documentary maker, and had to laugh. The filmmaker says she chose Markle based on her UN speech(es) (it was actually only one, if I remember correctly). Yet I truly doubt that Markle used her schmaltzy, cheesy voice for the UN. Maybe she saved that voice, plus her breathy, fake fan-girly voice, for when she met Ban Ki-Moon.
“ The higher magnification reveals a healing crystal and vial of Prince Charles' powerful homeopathic medicine next to the photo. That is called Rescue Remedy...”
I used to give Rescue Remedy to my anxiety-prone yellow Labrador! LOL. It really worked in helping to calm her.
“ The more ugly videos and pictures that were blocked due to royal family connections will resurface.”
Did anyone see the X rated video purportedly featuring the Queen of Chunga-Changa on Celebrity Jihad?? IMO it must be fake—it is definitely M’s face, but on someone else’s body? Regardless it is shocking.
@MustySyphone
Sigourney Weaver has a great voice for narration, and she starred in the Dian Fossey bio film Gorillas in the Mist. I think she was nominated for an academy award. I hope she wasn’t the actress replaced by M in the Disney doc—SW is a class act, and she is 71 years old, too, so the job would have been nice for her to have gotten.

“Meghan Markle has 'always dreamt of living the Hollywood lifestyle' and 'star-struck' Prince Harry's arm 'didn't need to be twisted', source claims”

Apparently Doria has had security since M M and JH got engaged. The question is who pays for that security and will it continue now? The British people or Americans?
https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1263550/meghan-markle-news-family-mother-doria-ragland-la-security-cost
When she feels she's on the verge of being exposed, she grabs her bug out bag and makes a run for it. That's why the dust is still trying to settle when she cut and run from London and left Harry alone to deal with the fallout. Their very stupid half in half out demands were the best she could come up with.
The up side is the more William steps up to hands on help patients with the virus, the more ridiculous M&H will appear with their petty counter attacks like the article today trying to pass off a shot of George in Chas. office as Archie. It's not. It's George. Commenters on DM say it's George and also point out another photo taken same day proving that it is, and George wearing same hat.
Hey, Harry, you are a loser. Who shows such stupid touching of your spouse at professional and representing your government at all your so-called “For Queen for Country” symbols at events? Were you out of your mind to crotch finger your “wife” at government events? You are so low, you make your wife seem as though she is a D Grace Kelly.
I have lived in Great Britain. I remember crying, stuck at a train station, missing the Last Train to London. My new mates, stuck like me, started singing “Last Train to London.” One of these guys singing was your cousin. How do you give up a cousin, your family, for Doria?
I am filled with anger at somebody who cares so little about his family, and your country is your family. You are nothing but a name in America. You are worth nothing.
Want to stress the Sigourney Weaver thing is a rumour. I have no idea if it’s true or not.
"Blog posters arguing about hurt feelings...fighting on a blog about Meghan Markle and how she leaves destruction in her path. Oh how she must be devouring that delicious irony..."
All groups have conflict; the only way they differ is in how they handle it.
I truly don't think MM has ever visited our blog although she clearly reads and contributes to CDAN.
Would like to remind those throwing stones to be careful of living in glass houses. I was told (on this blog) to go talk to a priest (which I actually did) so.......

@CatEyes: you seem to be a bit upset right now and may not realize how your posts are being coming across. But as a reader of this blog, the only person I’ve seen “bully” (personally, that word is often misused), harass and treat people disrespectfully has been you. I’m not trying to agitate you any further, but am hoping you might try to see things from another, perhaps “fly-on-the-wall” perspective. That’s all.
Back to the topic at hand. I am Team Fake Baby Bump. I actually convinced most of the coworkers, based on the photo / video evidence that many people here have already mentioned and linked. The “moveable” baby bump on Women’s Day 2019 a perfect example. (On a side note, I once saw the video of them introducing Meghan and panel, where they lined up and sat down. It’s no longer available anywhere and that part is mysteriously edited out from full versions I’ve seen. The camera is directly in front of Meghan and literally can see “everything” as her dress that day was too short and no stockings were worn.)
I do believe there “is” an Archie. I just don’t think he is ever in the custody of Meghan.
My favorite moment in the last month though was when Camilla stared her down in church and Meghan wouldn’t even look at her. If only she could get Charles to wisen up about the lad.
“I am filled with anger at somebody who cares so little about his family, and your country is your family. You are nothing but a name in America. You are worth nothing.”
Amen.
“My favorite moment in the last month though was when Camilla stared her down in church and Meghan wouldn’t even look at her. If only she could get Charles to wisen up about the lad.”
That was something, wasn’t it? To see Camilla’s long look at M, trying to get her attention—while M cowardly pretended not to notice her. Then to see Harry boring holes into the back of DC’s head as they proceeded toward the receiving line—the look of pure hatred. Scary.
I have concluded (hopefully mistakenly) that PC is just plain weak, at least in matters pertaining to his youngest son. And I keep wondering if there is a point at which he will practice the kind of tough love Harry desperately needs—by cutting him off financially.
As a retired on/gyn and the mother of four, I can almost state unequivocally that MeGain was never pregnant. No, I didn’t see her in the flesh. If I had I could make that statement with 99.999% accuracy. Other than the squatting in stilettos with knees together, the disappearing bump that reportedly made funny noises, there are several visual signs of an expectant mother that don’t necessitate palpating the abdomen or an ultrasound.
Don’t you see you are literally doing the same thing to others(and now me) that you think is being done to you?
I didn’t attack you or harass you. I didn’t call you names. All I said is for you to look at your comments from another person’s perspective. You don’t have to listen to me. It was a suggestion. That is all. You didn’t like that I “presumed” to know how you are feeling. So why would you then presumed to know anything about me?
Valuing Freedom of Speech is a two-way street.
It was such a great moment. I love Camilla for doing that. And Sophie for just plain ignoring Meghan. Real life Reality TV at its finest. I would love to know what happened on the Family Group Text the night before to create such delicious drama. Does anybody have easy access to a link for that clip?
I feel as though sometimes I like PC and other times I don’t. So, I’m really on the fence about him. I can compare his actions to that of a addict’s family member. He can’t quite seem to do the tough love thing and let his son hit rock bottom. And that often happens. To stick with that analogy, PC is an enabler. I do feel as though William is willing to do the tough love bit. But I guess only time will really determine that.
