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
And then, of course, there was Archie.The baby whose conception was announced quite early, at around 10 weeks, conveniently at another bride's wedding.

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
I'm fairly short-sighted - there were a number of clues that I couldn't see properly which were missed: failing a maths `exam', aged 8 when my calculations were correct but I'd muddled threes, fives, and eights when copying the questions off the blackboard (attributed to my carelessness); not being able to read route numbers on buses until it was almost too late to hail them; not being able to read the bus's destination (I was `being difficult'.)
She'd then get angry with me and I felt I'd let her down. Yet she so drummed it into me, that wearing glasses was shameful, that I'd cheat when given a sight test at school (I quickly read the chart when I was close to it and remembered enough of the lines I couldn't read) and pass the test.
Now, I suspect that she hated the thought of people seeing she had a flawed child.
I also remember her constant refrain, even before I was 5: ``You might be an only child but I won't have people saying I spoil you". Ow.
She was so concerned about what people thought of her that she'd tidy up before we went out `in case we have burglars - what would they think?'
Perhaps, if there is a real Archie. he doesn't measure up to the quality of baby MM believes she's entitled to.
"YES, I think journalists know details about Archie. Shall we poll for best guesses about when and how these details will be revealed to us plebs?"
Given that the British news black-out about Archie's birth is so complete that DM won't allow the use of the word "surrogate" by posters on its website, I think H&M somehow got a super-injunction on their use of a surrogate and the chaotic, bizarre coverage of his birth somehow also became encompassed in it.
Although Nutty has previously talked about the reasons why scandalous British things break in the foreign press first (e.g., the group sex incident with Elton John), I think in Archie's case it's possible the DM is going to do this in their court case with MM. I won't pretend to have any legal reasons for thinking so. My reasons are simply that it's still unusual for British royals to sue the press, but MM is (she's unwittingly given them an opening); the blinds have said MM wants to drop the case, and DM won't let her (DM is obviously looking forward to a court fight); and the fact that the Frogmore Cottage renovation, which apparently forms part of MM's initial complaint, was occurring simultaneously with her pregnancy (it won't be hard for DM to find tie-ins). Remember all the articles about how the construction crew were racing to finish the house before the baby was born? If there's a legitimate case to be made against a super-injunction banning press coverage of Archie's birth, I think the British press's best shot in making it will be in the current litigation between MM and the DM.
As an American, to me it's obvious there must be such a case against such a super-injunction if only because it relates directly to the line of succession. Since the circumstances of Archie's birth directly relate to that, then there must be a legitimate public interest in allowing a public discussion of those circumstances.
He is not, however, a real child of a real couple.
Even if he is --
Especially if he is. *Sigh* …. I feel very, very sorry for this lad, such as he is.
@xxxxxx, Hollywood has many problematic people who keep getting jobs, so I don't think giving Meghan jobs will be an issue.
@Nelo: Yes, problematic people in Hollywood fo get jobs, but they also have true talent that translates into revenue for the studio and the investors.
Meghan only has fame fame due to grifting a dim and needy prince into a sham marriage and popping out a child asap as an insurance policy, a prop for image enhancement and merching, a weapon (as in not bringing him to London for their last events in March to punish the queen and PC by withholding him from them), and as a bargaining chip with Harry.
She might get some parts but likely not a lead role. I read in January that her LA crew already told her she can’t carry a film as a lead, but if course, as a narc, she will not listen.
I also suspect that since she dumped Trevor, who is still active in HW, that in private, he has not done her any favors to enhance her reputation. Likely others who have worked with her have also not done het any favors in private conversations.
That, along with what is already out there as public knowledge of how she treats people, will not help her and her mediocre talent, plus her diva attitude will hinder her efforts to reach the stardom that escaped her for many good reasons in the past. A massive sense of entitlement will not land the big roles.
Even Ellen has a lot of influence in Hollywood and can pull strings for her. Whether the roles will be as big enough as what she wants is another thing altogether. But as per break it roles, black Hollywood can make it happen for her.
Perhaps. After listening to 10 min of her narration I have one question: is there anybody who genuinely believes it was good? Is there anybody who thinks she was good in Suits?
If answer to both questions is yes they will definitely give her a role. If the answer is no they will still give her a role but on a much smaller scale.
Ultimately it is up to the audience to vote with their cash. If she turns up good she will have some sort of career. If she flops her sponsors will waste money and she will become surplus to requirement.
What stands out is: one successful Hollywood actress became a highly successful beloved royalty. This one sacrificed royalty and real purpose in life to sneak into Hollywood's factory of dreams.

@Fairy Crocodile: yes, someone (Miranda Bryant/a journalist based in New York) believes her voiceovers were good: " Elephant, released on streaming platform Disney+ on Friday, was met with generally warm reviews."
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/apr/04/keeping-up-with-the-sussexes-will-harry-and-meghan-be-las-hottest-ticket
Here is our answer. There are people in America who think she is good! It probably means there will be a role or two for her. Let's see if she pulls herself together and shows a good performance which people will pay for.
Personally after her horrible voice over job I will not waste my money.
I'm not sure that will be the case. Remember the article said M was getting offers but she found them cheesy. She put out there she wanted to work with Ava DuVernay which means Ava hadn't contacted her.
Spike Lee and Lee Daniels usually make films on serious subjects with good actors. I could see M in s Shonda Rhimes production because Shonda does evening soaps.
I wouldn't assume all of "black hollywood " is on board with M as they hadn't used her in the past.
I keep thinking she'll try to do her own version of an "address to the nation". Not entirely sure which nation it'll be aimed at mind you, but it feels to me that it'll fit in with her previous copy-cat style attempts.
People have photoshopped SA Archie's face to refine it and in some cases entirely change how the face appears. There are many examples of this on Instagram. I have not heard anything from the Sussex camp about prohibiting these "doctored" photos. I think that unfortunately tells me everything I need to know regarding MM's feelings for Archie.
why would Disney do that if they didn't intend on having future relationship with her?
if someone else was planned then got dumped for Meghan that is somewhat more plausible but if it was recorded then scrapped for Meghan that is odd *and* they gave her 3 million?
seems extremely suspect. however they may have thought they had something with Meghan but at the time (and future) she was royal and unable to work so what's the story
I don't know how much black Hollywood will have her back. she didn't even acknowledge black history month. people notice
There are lots of very talented actors out there who don’t bring a ton of baggage to the table. Her acting abilities are known. She banked on being a sex kitten to get roles, and now she’s forty and has the bloody nerve to say she doesn’t want “cheesy” roles. And why wouldn’t she be offered cheesy roles? Her entire career is defined by nothing but cheesy roles. She didn’t try to increase her acting chops by doing local theater. Nope, she became a suitcase girl, flashing her new boobs for all and sundry to see. She married into the professions but STILL only got cheesy roles, and I think it’s because she NEVER saw herself as anything but a commodity. She spent years merching herself. If she weren’t such a vile person, it would be sad.

politics-- so I am over and out on this topic
- All Hollywood is shutdown and will take a while to gear back up once this virus lifts
- Black Hollywood always has it tough getting their material into production. There is a huge reservoir of black talent that needs jobs to survive. So whey would they give any hiring preferences to Megsy?
- Especially when she brings nothing. There is no cachet in hiring her. No one upsmanship. Megsy will not enhance any profits
- The only thing intriguing about Megsy is that she brings a white husband who is the British Prince who bugged out along with her.
- Black Hollywood has loads of black actresses who are younger, prettier and who can act.
She didn’t try to increase her acting chops by doing local theater.
That's something I noticed. When she came to England a few years before meeting Harry she wanted to be a reality star, not on a dramatic or comedy series. Either she just wanted to be famous so she could be a more successful influencer and/or she knew her acting skills weren't that good.
It does show that she really is a terrible actress.
I find Meghan’s voice overly annoying. So I knew I wouldn’t like the voice-over work. But when I listened to it, it was worse than I could possibly imagine. So bad. There is zero chance I could listen to the entire movie.
I find it incredibly telling that all of her A list Hollywood “friends” have disappeared. If Clooney is really a good friend, he might cast her in some small role. Otherwise, I agree that she is way too polarizing. This voice-over for Disney clearly demonstrates this.
I think when all those A-listers responded yes to her wedding, she immediately assumed she was on the same level as them. I don’t even think it has crossed her mind that she isn’t and will never be on the that level. Who else “demands” A list directors? That right there is a major red flag.
And let’s not forget, Meghan recently embarrassed Jennifer Meyer and her company. I can’t imagine that left a good impression on Ronald Meyer or anyone else at Universal Studios.
What cheesy roles was Meghan offered? Dressing in a costume, standing on a street corner selling oil changes or tax preparation?
Real Housewives of Atlanta would be perfect for Meghan. Reality show. Check. Be identified as a WOC. Check. She could use her formerly royal status to start cat fights with the other housewives. Meghan can cry at the drop of a hat; she could elicit sympathy while stabbing the other housewives in the back. Now that would get ratings.
I could actually see M doing Real Housewives of Beverly Hills post-divorce. So she could continue being a thorn in the side of the RF.
I’ve wondered if perhaps the Hollywood types invited to M’s wedding aren’t simply more reticent to speak up on her behalf in public because of how controversial she is. It will be interesting to see what happens down the road.
No way would they have any respect for whiney-make-it-all-about-me-even-during-COVID19 Madame and her husband HRH Just Harry.
LOL.
“I keep thinking she'll try to do her own version of an "address to the nation". Not entirely sure which nation it'll be aimed at mind you, but it feels to me that it'll fit in with her previous copy-cat style attempts.”
She can address the subjects of Chunga-Changa,
Strange...in the above article a "source" states that MM has changed her mind and that she is not interested in any roles right now. It also states that her acting days are over...
I think I am getting whiplash.
https://mol.im/a/8188353
M likely hasn't seen Doria for months.
And as a self-proclaimed COVID-19 expert, surely M has long known those over 60 were especially vulnerable. That's hardly breaking news. Plus, the entire state of California has been locked down for weeks. So it's not just a matter of being "cautious" and deciding not to be chauffered across town to visit Doria to protect her. Who writes this stuff?
The rest of the article ("It is likely that guards would accompany her on her usual morning jog and step out with her during low-key visits to her favourite restaurants") reads as though there isn't a pandemic with people dying every day. As of yesterday there were over 4000 *diagnosed* cases of the viral illness in LA county alone.
Total BS or maybe total obliviousness.

They sound quite catchy methinks~
Glad you are back. I missed your posts.
Everyone stay healthy!
Technically she is a princess (vomit). She is Princess Henry (NOT Megain). The birth certificate? It was made public 42 days after "birth" which means if it was a surrogate then the legal amount of time, 42 days, had passed and the baby's BC lists the adoptive parents as the birth parents and the surrogate basically disappears. This info was out and about at the time of the birth announcement and then the long wait (and searching for) the BC.
@Uhura
Great points on Meg missing the chance to show solidarity during Black History Month and Women's History Month. Big mess ups on those, I agree.
@Nelo
I tend to agree with you on the black Hollywood elite stepping in to save Meg. If she's saved and elevated, my guess is that will be the vehicle for it. And Meg knows it, hence the reach out to DuVernay.
On that point. As most know, the "Get Out" movie from Jordan Peele was a big hit in 2017:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Out
It won Best Original Screenplay, and was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
It's star, Daniel Kaluuya, received an Academy Award nomination for his performance in the film. He also played a part in the smash success Black Panther.
Would people consider Kaluuya a massive Hollywood star, however? I'm not sure about that. My point here being that even if Meg gets a big role in a film along the lines of Get Out, and then gets a part in something like Black Panther, that might not mean she's seen as a big-time Hollywood player. I'm not saying this to denigrate Kaluuya, either, whose work I like quite a bit. But is anyone talking about Kaluuya as like the next Brad Pitt or next George Clooney?
Thus, even with potential generous handouts coming from friends in Hollywood, I'm not sure Meg will 'break through' in any large way. She might, but she probably won't. Even if gifted good roles.
Kaluuya can act. He's good. He's far above Meg in that regard, yet I'm not sure he's seen as a big-time star in Hollywood. Although to be fair to him, he's only 31 years old. He may become a big star in the future. I hope he does, personally.
Something to watch as we move forward.
Where is Hikari?
Hope she's okay.
My guess is that Doria doesn't seek attention for a reason, she's likely getting some money under the table but maybe now having cold feet about participating in the grift. Maybe there's something that she wants to hide from the public too. You can see that she's hired someone to erase all trace of her background and records in searches. It wasn't that way just last year. Meghan can't risk be seen with Doria after the crap she got for hugging and shaking hands on that last hurrah tour. She's a super spreader of toxicity and the worst thing for her to also be known as super spreader of viruses too.
I was reading comments on an Express article and one made me stop and ponder.
They will be bad publicity for charities, as once again the charities will be exposed as money troughs for the select and publicity for those giving, not really benefiting the poor much at all. Like the wages, expenses and sex scandals in charity organisations, public will be reminded that they are not quite what they claim to be
(credit to the DE poster known as ScaryFuture)
Are we about to see the entire charitable industry Markled? I know there've been various scandals and other things regarding charities and they've weathered them in the past, but will they manage to survive the Markle treatment? Or am I giving her far too much credit/power?

The article:
https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1265113/Meghan-Markle-news-Prince-Harry-LA-Megxit-move-disruptive
MEGHAN, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex will not follow preordained rules due to their brand according to a Los Angeles based expert.
The couple recently moved to LA from Canada. Jeetendr Sehdev is the author of ‘The Kim Kardashian Principe’. Speaking to The Guardian, Mr Sehdev said: “The Meghan and Harry brand has always been very disruptive.
“They’re going to show us all a different way in which royal family members can live.”
Mr Sehdev said he saw charity being their prime revenue stream.
So what do you all think of Archie’s birth certificate being published?? Was this done to end the speculation about Faux Archie??
Old hands on this blog know I bang on about that so-called `Birth Certificate’.
I don’t for one moment believe it’s genuine – proformas are available on line. Just because it says it’s a Certified Copy it doesn’t mean it is. You can fill in the details yourself and hope to fool anyone (eg potential employer) who hasn’t wised up.
See: https://www.hagueapostille.co.uk/birth-certificates
The give-away is that there is no Stamp of Authentication at the bottom right-hand corner. This would have shown up in a photocopy.
In the last year I’ve had to employ a genealogical firm, as a third party, to confirm relationships between members of my mother’s family for legal reasons, when my say-so wasn’t enough. Every copy certificate, that they obtained in order to satisfy the Court, had this stamp.
Nicholas Witchell, the BBC’s Royal Correspondent, was so flummoxed by the whole business that he was lost for words when reporting from outside BP. He broke off and the outside broadcast ended abruptly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfaTCbLZwZA
Likewise , I bang on about the different babies that have been given the role of Archie – I’m convinced the `Canadian’ landscape baby was a girl, for example – such a pretty face, nothing like Christmas Card Baby.
Meghan Markle Refused Tiara by Queen | PEOPLE.com
https://people.com/royals/queen-elizabeth-wouldnt...
Nov 10, 2018 · “Meghan had her heart set on this tiara with emeralds, and Prince Harry hit the roof when they were told it was impossible for her to wear it,” a source tells U.K. newspaper The Sun. It led to what The Sun says was “a very heated exchange” — prompting the Queen to speak with Harry, 34.
But truly I hope the missing regulars are just busy/overwhelmed & not ill.
Do take care 💜🍹
EmeraldCity has been missing since before the pandemic (although that's no reason to stop worrying about a commenter who's been away).
I hope the missing ones are just busy! I'm finding myself spending loads of time on things I would normally take for granted (just things like ordering milk online is such a hassle whereas I'd normally spend a leisurely 30 minute walk to the shop 🍃🌸).
By the end of the day, I'm usually emotionally drained & infuriated, the last thing I care about is MADAME and her husband, HRH Just Harry.
I imagine many of us are just as overwhelmed. Especially the ones with small children to homeschool.
I'm not a "regular" in any sense, only having been here a few months, but I am having a runny nose and a sore throat.
Hoping against hope not coming down with coronavirus. If I am, I am.
I know enough about history to be aware that plagues come and go, and they take whom they will.
Kiss your loved ones, is all I can suggest. Tell them you love them.
New blog post: Magical Meghan and the ongoing PR campaign.
I absolutely refuse to accept that I have nothing more than a cold -- I thank you very much for your kind words.
Even if the worst should happen, I will be thankful that people like you are in this world.
You are a treasure.
*Waving!*
@Scandi Don’t worry about venting. I’m going crazy myself and thank goodness you gave your staff sound advice about how dirty paper money is. The stress is getting to me too and with it a very bad sense of dark humor. Le sigh.
I hope you feel better!
@charade: oh dark humour is the BEST way to handle this thing. 😂😂
Take care all!!! 💜🍹
It's like mentioning a habit some Sleb has that's never been publicised & people are like, "wait have you met him? You said you never met him." Awkward. Or a witness to a crime who only knows details the police haven't released to the media.
Blog posters arguing about hurt feelings, lies and other discord caused by other blog posters -- when every single poster is in reality an anonymous person with a made up name to hide their identity -- fighting on a blog about Meghan Markle and how she leaves destruction in her path.
Oh how she must be devouring that delicious irony from sunny California.

April 4, 2020 at 10:14 PM
--------------------------------------------------------------
keeping-up-with-the-sussexes-will-harry-and-meghan-be-las-hottest-ticket -- the very name of the article reveals their mostly likely fate: a wannabe Kardashian reality show. Probably a one-season wonder on that network that originally ran Suits.
I find it incredibly telling that all of her A list Hollywood “friends” have disappeared. If Clooney is really a good friend, he might cast her in some small role.
Yes, incredibly telling. She probably thought they came to *her* wedding, when in real life, they came for a *Royal Wedding*. Now that she has only herself to offer, and Harry in a pinch -- they are not around.
I think we rarely see Archie's face because she wants the center of attention squarely on her. Harry wants privacy and refuses any pictures, but MM will show up with his little face squashed against her and her face full on to the camera. Actors know that if you appear with an animal or a child, that one gets all the attention. MM is not sharing.
