Open Post: Meghan returns to Britain

Duchess Meghan has returned to the UK, and has been spotted outside a hotel ahead of her appearance at the Endeavor Fund Awards this evening.

Let's discuss as she and Harry make their appearance before a crowd of injured service men and women who have taken on extreme sporting challenges.

How will they greet the runaway Captain General of the Royal Marines and his spouse?


Look your best, Meg

If I were Meghan, I'd make sure my look was on point tonight. It's one of her highest-profile ways to advertise for future work in Hollywood or on the talk show circuit.

Meg's outside-the-hotel style - a wrap coat and open back shoes with no stockings, despite the raw British weather - is not encouraging.

Meg also went rather heavy on the facial bronzer; her hands and bare feet don't match her face.

Re. HG Tudor from the Narcsite

I have my doubts at times that this guy is what he claims. His level of self-awareness and willingness to spill all the Narc secrets seem at odds with the true Narc way of being. He has said repeatedly that Narcs do not have the capacity to reflect objectively on what they do, and that Meg would not recognize herself as a clinical narcissist. So how is it that he can deconstruct his own behavior for the benefit of his readership? That would be like the wolf giving away all the secrets to his prey. This site often reads like an extensive, and lucrative creative writing project, from someone who has studied the narc mind in depth, perhaps in a clinical role. It seems to me that a sure fire way to enrage a narc is to label them as such and claim to know how their minds work. Yet here is HG, seemingly happily Deconstructing himself for fun and profit. I’d like to know what Meg would do If confronted by her own kind. All the neurotypical people she has encountered in her life so far including her birth family, her former husbands, And the royal family she never had have made it so easy for her. I’d love for an even bigger Narc To minimize and laugh at her the way she minimizes and laughs at Harry.

@ Champagne,

Re your bald spot, your fix--two words--yak wig!

Re The Goring Hotel was a big FU to the Queen. Whenever the Queen exists the Managing Director, David Morgan Hewitt [a VERY large man) always attends. Not so for the Sussex one.
Mimi said…
I agree she must have been freezing.......I hope she catches cold. She would not DARE wear a jacket or coat because then she could not strut her stuff....like she was walking the red carpet and had all the men drooling over her!

@Hikari,

A narcissist can only project an image of a self-reflective narcissist. I wouldn't trust anything they say even if they get some things right. They can read books too but are incapable of understanding human relationships beyond the academic. They will lie too.
Mimi said…
He wears what is on the floor next to his bed, pulls something out of the dirty clothes hamper, or something megs has picked out for him. Geez, I wish she would break down and buy him a pair of nice dress shoes and get rid of the holey ones. I mean, reallly Hairy, wearing shoes with holes???????????How fricken cheap can you get??????😫

I didn't know that there was a new post, so moving this over here and then going to read"

So, first glance, I see Rach is still going or the zip-up-the-back hot girl look... at 40ish and with undergarment lines.

Off-topic, but too bad because I'm probably going to die soon

@Swampwoman, Punkinseed, Fairy Crocodile, Hikari, and other Nutties addressing this


Okay, it's officially off-the-rails here. Toilet paper is like gold. There is no rubbing alcohol to be had. Hand sanitizer, none. Anything that even seems like it might kill germs, forgetaboutit. My sister is shipping alcohol and cotton to me. I'm wearing gloves at work, scrubbing down several times a day, and sitting by someone who sounds like her lungs are one cough away from their debut on the world stage. The workers at my local Trader Joe's told me when to come to nab some goods, so I'll be there then. It's just crazy, and apparently, people think peanut butter pretzels will save them from death because those, too, are being hoarded. I'm smarter than that and bought boxes of chocolate cookies instead. Chocolate > Dementors. I wasn't born yesterday.

Anyway, I'm preparing but it's truly bizarre. I've never been thru a pandemic before. The upside is that classes may be totally online for next quarter, so that would be awesome, but only if I don't die (that last bit would be the downside).

Punkinseed, are your fam still okay? And how much vodka will keep me safe? (As my primary caregiver, I beg you, please prescribe a lot.)


______________________________________________

Now, to Rach & H: really, they couldn't stay at Frogmore? And seriously, a zip-up the back dress? I can't believe she even showed up. Please let her be booed and sent on her way. Also, Rach, I know you read here: that red lipstick is garish on you, it's so AOC.

Blogger Elle, Reine des Abeilles said...

@PortCityGirl I think she's trying to look like AOC with the slicked-back hair and the bright red lipstick. They're quite alike actually (frauds) and so that is the reason she just does not look acceptable to me. Also, the zip-up dress....

well, just no, it seems tacky to me because it's SO Kim K. And Rach doesn't have the bod to carry it off. I just think it's hooker-esque. And I'm not alone in that. A friend's mother, when meeting the son's newest hottie, observed that those jeans were just like the ones she'd seen on TV the other night in one of her favorite shows! "They were worn by the prostitute who was being arrested." And that's all I'm going to say about that.

I'm going to go look at photos of my BFFs now.

Hikari, a true narc can peg a fellow narc in a heartbeat.
Ian's Girl said…
@Hikari, I do free lance writing for various and sundry industries, and one of my fairly regular employers is in therapy for Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or something like that. (I probably said that wrong; she sees a therapist who has diagnosed her with this disorder, and they do talk regularly about it, but that wasn't what she went in to therapy for, and it isn't the only thing they discuss.)

Anyway, she tries very hard, (not very successfully, bless her heart) to work around her condition, but if she thought she could make a buck and have a large audience to emote to, she would absolutely start a blog/youtube channel or whatever, to somehow exploit it. Exploit is,again, probably not the best way to describe it, but I can definitely see her doing it, and it would probably be a pretty darn good blog. Bitchy, but accurate. (She's from Brooklyn, and takes no crap from anyone.)
pi said…
A narcissist who proclaims themselves and expert on the inner workings of narcissists and the dynamics of relationships with them is one who (like always) seeks to define and shape your reality.

@Ian'sGirl

"Exploit"- perfectly described. I find the disordered predictable- they're all programmed the same, only the execution might differ. But a narcissist always, always seeks to exploit.

Jdubya said…
don't know if it's been posted. On her IG she put a video with a song i'd never heard. Finally found it and it's lyrics. Otis Redding, Down in the Valley
very interesting Lyrics
Lyrics
Down in the valley, ha
In the valley so low,
Hang your hair over your shoulder
And you can hear the four winds blow, now, oh my
Now can't you hear the wind blow my love,
Can't you hear the wind blow,
We're down in the valley, ha
In the valley so low, now, ha
Now have you ever been lonely, lonely, ha
Now have you ever been sad
Did you ever really need some one, oh my
Who really needed
Gotta, gotta, gotta, ha, too much, ooh yeah
Help me baby, gotta get the groove
So too much, ooh yeah
It was down in the valley
In the valley so low
It was when I held you so tight
How can I ever let you go, go, go, go, ooh now
Now it was down, down, down, down, down, down, down
In the valley so low, ooh my
When I held you so tight, now
How can I ever let you go, now
Ah, good god
Too much, too much, too much groovin' now
Too much, gotta
Down in the valley
We're down in the valley
So low, so low, we can't go no further
We're down, we're down too much
Gotta groovin', groovin', groovin'
Gotta, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we can't
Go no further, now
Gotta, gotta, good god almighty we gotta, gotta
Groovin', groovin', groovin'
Too much grippem
Watch it, watch it, wathc it
Gotta, a good time we're havin'
We gotta, gotta keep on, keep on groovin'
Mimi said…
her dress was tight and in that one picture you can see the zipper all the way down her. back and in her butt crack! Tell me she didn’t know that’s the kind of dress a tramp would wear?
Ian's Girl said…
@Jdubya, Down in the Valley is an old American.. folk song, I guess you'd call it. I have never heard Otis Redding's version, and can only imagine that Nutmeg must be good and baked to have thought it was appropriate for that particular clip?


Interesting to read about MM fashion reviews here. I don't fancy looking at the pictures myself and appreciate all the details. So the general consensus is that she looked ok? Compared to her other poor sartorial choices though, I assume.

Interesting too that she was wearing Victoria Beckham.
Hmm, didn't they have a falling out? H & MM accused her of leaking stories to the press or something like that.
Indo said…
The color is great on her but the dress is awful. It is especially ugly from the back. It's better than what she usually wears, but that bar is very low.
Ozmanda said…
I wonder if their decision to play nice for the cameras is a amateur attempt to try to renovation their shattered reps so their merching is more lucrative?
@jdubya,
About the song lyrics, here's the meaning from Wiki,

"The song's theme is of a "valley" through which a man passed as he struggled with love for the soul of his woman"

This is just MM trying to show how much in love Harry is with her and the alleged "adversity" they've gone through. It's a cheap shot at the BRF and Britain or anybody else who doesn't fawn over her. Typical MM narc antics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_in_the_Valley_(Solomon_Burke_song)
Meowwww said…
I thought she looked good, comparatively. But the rictus grin, smiling away at all the cameras was too much. My face hurts thinking of it. How can anyone smile that much? And that broadly? Don’t her teeth hurt from the wind?
The umbrella pics. Her arm hairs were standing right up, I bet she was freezing. Beauty is pain, especially when throwing it in the face of the BRF. Or something like that.
The lipstick was a nice touch. Someone must have asked her if she is ok.
I saw panty lines in some shots from the back.
Meowwww said…
Oh and the coronavirus. I live in Wisconsin. People are buying bread and water, there is none left on the shelves. I mean, the water here tastes good from the tap. Do they think it’s somehow going to be shut off or infected? Weird. Friends of mine are stocking up on dog food, just in case.
Those of you in hotspot areas, be safe.
Ian's Girl,
This is another version of the Down In The Valley folk song, with different lyrics.
Anonymous said…
@Neutral O Yep. I'm probably going to be infected soon. TG for those chocolate cookies and the vodka prescription :)


@Ozmanda agreed, agreed, agreed. Why must she dress like a hooker? and short sleeves in March in London? No. And the short sleeves just exacerbate her broad shoulders and hit at a thick point.


And Oh, yes: "Sparkles needs to fire her plastic surgeon, and do something about those extensions. Also if that dress was any tighter we would be seeing things only seen on her sex tapes.

and LOL

The photos of the two of them released was clearly taken by someone who has herb ritts envy, The Lighting "bouncing" off the rain giving them a glow is reminiscent of a early new kids on the block video clip (don't ask how I know).

and @Mimi
though I'll hear no criticism re my beloved Kate,

I agree totally that "Meg ‘s makeup always look greasy, overdone and cheap......just trying TOO hard and only coming off looking slutty.

I guess my evergreen comment is this: Rach looks trashy & cheap and Harry, FFS, what were you thinking? Nothing is that good.
@Elle,

Trashy and cheap is drawn to trashy and cheap. Just Harry is in his element with MM. Many men would sleep with her, but very few would marry her, unless they are trashy and cheap, too.

Mimi said…
Jocelynsbellinis, lots of men go for women like her. She’s tough, street smart, takes no shit, aggressive, thinks she knows it all, is domineering and dresses a certain way that certain men like to see their woman dressed.

It is obvious to me he is still captivated by her. I have a feeling he will be for a looooong time! eejit!!!!!!!!!! (idiot)
Mimi said…
The ONE thing I was hoping these last engagement would accomplish is to give the British people a chance to let them know how they feel, I was thinking along the line of riots but I will settle for booing!
Mango said…
The exit from The Goring - totally staged with her hair swept to the side and that unsettling grin. I loved the color of the blue dress but agree that it was too form-fitting. Maybe she wanted folks to talk her about her ass in the same way that Pippa’s rear end almost stole the Cambridge’s wedding thunder? I did like her evening makeup, especially the lipstick, but as per usual her face was too shiny. There’s a lot of criticism of her ponytail but IMO the slicked back hair looked so much tidier than her usual framing of her face with those two loose hanks of hair. That is NOT a good look and I wish one of her gal pals would tell her so (not that she’d listen, because Meg knows best 🙄)

JocelynsBellinis,

I think they took the audio down at DM of the loud boos, but try accessonline.com.
They have it up and it's quite clearly heard.

Just had time to study the pics from earlier and JH has def had work done on his teeth.
Dad and brother are dentists and I can always tell when someone has their teeth done. Those are some pretty expensive porcelain crowns. If you look closely he holds his mouth differently as well. I often notice when this is overdone, or not done well, the person looks like they have too many teeth as in Rush Limbaugh and Joe Biden. Harry's dentist avoided this and his look great imo. He also had his hair filled in looks like-

Another look at the dress from the back with that zipper- yikes😳 in some video it shows her pulling it down it's so tight. VB needs to adjust that so that it doesn't look so trashy from the the back. All in all, I thought they looked great. It is just sad that they have behaved so horribly towards HM and family and the British people.

A commenter from DM, can't remember the name, said they heard that she was going to get work as a political pundit in the US. Maybe she can fill Chris Matthews' spot.
Mimi said…
Ziggy, I read somewhere that the medical profession or whoever the hell is in charge of such things lied to people about last years flu I think they lie to us ALL the time so as not to create panic! That is soooooo effing wrong!!!!!!!!!!!
@Mimi,
You're right, but I'd call those men trashy and cheap.

Mimi- I'm not sure what the heck is going on but I sure as heck don't trust whoever is delivering the message.

PS- I'll admit, I thought the blue dress was ok when I saw it from the front. And I was happy the yak wig was pulled back.
But then I saw the zipper. The garish, large, silver zipper down the back.
The butt pads are in.
The dress fits poorly and the zipper tries to tuck in under the butt pads. Gross- not a good look.

I've never seen a more fake "I'm so happy!" smile either, yikes!

Charlene of Monaco, who wept incessantly during her wedding to Albert (allegedly due to them taking away her passport and leaving her no choice but to go through with it after she wanted to pull the plug- Youtube it... those are not happy tears!), has maybe smiled with more feeling than that.
Ziggy said…
Victoria Beckham must be steaming mad at how this look turned out.
I have always thought her line was quite nice, but that ill-fitting number will do her brand no favours.

Which Spice Girl did Harry have a poster of on his wall? Or was it Will? I remember the picture, thought it was Harry.
Just curious. I could see Meg trying to emulate Harry's (or, really, even William's) childhood crush.
If it were Harry I could even see her inviting Victoria to the wedding. A twisted narc game.

PS... Posh was always my favourite Spice :)
Superfly said…
I was SURE she wouldn't show her face in the country she insulted yet took money from. But I was wrong, because I have something called self awareness and shame. She's just shameless.

Parading around with her psychotic fake smile, amongst people she called racists and toxic!

If she thinks that this will suddenly make her likeable, she's got another thing coming. She's more detestable than ever.

Shameless.
KnitWit said…
My first impression was that she was proud of regaining her thinner figure. Relieved to be spared a repeat of the royal bump routine.

She seems to be making an effort to improve her appearance - flattering color successful in the past, sleek hair, following Harry, pro makeup.... Too little too late in my opinion.

Suprised she is wearing Posh Spice frocks ( in a size too small off the rack). Perhaps it is an attempt to mend fences. Perhaps Posh was the high bidder to dress nasty Barbie.

OT, this Barbie's boobs are real, and I am a "Spring". Unlike MM, I can wear camel. Unfortunately, I haven't lost the weight I wish to lose. No chemical "diet aids" for me.

Harry is wearing the same old stuff. He seems less bald or more artfully hidden bald.

Their body language was interesting. The happy couple act doesn't convince me. I am not sure which is tackier, the zipper hugging her ass crack or Harry's hand held 9ver her crotch.

The highpoint of the event was the booing!

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Hope she remembers to ask Harry " how he is doing" tomorrow after his last military commitment. Throwing away the one thing that gave him a sense of pride.

Someone in the comment section noticed MM grab JH's shoulder so she could get in front of him. In the video he flinches and moves out of the way for her. I didn't catch it at first.
Pushy woman. It looked so rude to me.

@Elle
Just saw your comment about MM and AOC. Spot on observation!
I did like the dress though until I glimpsed her backside.
Now all I can see when I look at Harry is the way he holds his mouth with his new teeth. Lol.

Off topic: about COVID, I think people who have coughs should be wearing masks in the work place now or simply stay home.
Sandie said…
I assume that most people commenting here are Westerners. May I ask why Westerners are stockpiling, and stuff like toilet paper? Is everyone assuming that you are going to be confined to your homes for a prolonged period of time and that no one will bring you food or water (don't you have water provided through taps?) or toilet paper?

I recently moved from a deep rural area where during a very wet year (about 1 in 7) the dry river bed would become a raging torrent and we would be cut off from the outside world until the river subsided enough to drive through (1 to 2 weeks). We also had an unreliable supply of electricity (actually that is pretty much the whole country) so keeping a fridge and freezer full of food was always risky. However, it was standard practice to keep enough basic supplies to get through a month being cut off from the outside world. However, Westerners will not be cut off. You have wealth and first-world governments and systems, so no one is going to starve.

To me, the biggest risk of this virus is that it does make most people very ill for about a month, including recovery time (apparently, like flu, some people are carriers and do not get sick) so the economy is going to take a knock (no suck it up and keep on working with this virus). Prepare for a recession not a toilet paper scarcity emergency!
Teasmade said…
Weighing in with my probably unnecessary, redundant vote: I did not know zipper-back dresses were per se trashy, but THE FIT of this one! AmI just behind the times, or is clothing not supposed to accommodatingly curve around your bottom? I would go up two sizes on the bottom, if possible in a dress.

And has everyone seen the close-up of the makeup, often saying "not Photoshopped"? What is with that deep brown geometric splash across the eyelid?

@Teasmade

I thought it was bad lighting when I looked at her eyelids!
It's not noticeable until she looks down.

About the dress, I didn't think it trashy at all until she turned around. I don't really think it was the zipper, but how ill fitted it looked from this particular vantage point.

However, she surely got her bottom noticed didn't she? Haha.

@Sandie

About COVId:

I agree with you concerning a recession. Hopefully, the virus will die out as the warmer weather approaches. I feel relief that we don't have to leave home to work, but worry about all that do, especially my dad having to work so closely on patients.

Portcitygirl said…
@Miggy

That's the one! Wow, the comments on twitter are brutal. Maybe the eyeshadow is a trend, but that glue looks pretty bad.
@Sandie, no stockpiling in my house, although we do tend to buy things like toilet paper etc for a few weeks ahead as standard as it saves multiple trips to the shops and/or running out unexpectedly so we have plenty to be going on with. We always have things like flour and yeast and tinned stuff in the cupboards too so it won't be a problem for us short term. I think the worry about water is if things get so bad that the water treatment works aren't running efficiently due to lack of staff or whatever, but that's such a worst case scenario I doubt we'll get to that stage (hope I haven't jinxed anything lol).

@Ron, that's what I think it might be down to as well, it's really irritating if it is because they've attempted to mislead us from the truth, and that's the last thing you'd want from the news.

There were reports yesterday that they're no longer going to update the precise locations of new cases in the UK in real time and are going to consolidate it into a weekly update, I don't agree with that because how are we supposed to effectively protect ourselves and/or judge our own potential symptoms if we don't know where it is? For example I have a nasty cold that started a couple of days ago with a cough, dry nose and sore throat but no fever, so I'm not panicking unduly (just staying indoors and taking cold remedies as normal) because the closest case to me is just over 10 miles away in a location where they're not likely to have visited my crappy little local town. If there'd been a confirmed case that was local enough for them to have very likely been at the same locations I've been at recently then I'd be getting myself tested just to be on the safe side even though I'm not convinced it's more than a cold.

It just seems that they're trying to sit on information rather than share it, and that's what's most likely to panic the public because we sit here wondering what else they're not telling us and it impacts our ability to make informed choices.


@Ava C, I'm loving your anecdotes :O) "Of course all of these breeds are now extinct." haha!! I doubt I'd have been able to keep a straight face in that scenario lol

I've been trying to see if the footage from back then has ended up on the internet (long shot I know, but stranger things have happened), but can't find anything. I know my parents recorded the tv segment onto video when it aired and I spent months putting it on for anyone who visited, but I suspect it either got recorded over at some point or the tape died a death as I haven't seen it in many years. It's a shame, it'd have been a nice trip down memory lane if I'd been able to find it.
I thought she looked as hard a nails. At least she was tidy.

The dress looks fine on Victoria Beckham's page but not as worn by MM. My first thoughts were `Did she make it herself? Are those butt pads or is she wearing over-thick `inco' protection?'

That rear zip's horrible.

In my university days (early-mid Sixties), I loved sheath dresses. I made them myself and got them fitting really well (luckily, I was the right shape). My back zips had to be almost invisible, unless poverty demanded I used a much shorter zip in the side seam.

That `crew neck' was always described on the pattern as a `jewel neck' meaning, I think, that it was very stark but gave the perfect opportunity to show off a brooch. Otherwise one risks looking like Andy Murray.

Beckham describes the colour as turquoise - it doesn't look like that on my screen though. It struck me as looking like cheap dye, crude not subtle.

Perhaps I'm over-critical, thanks to my mother having been a `Court Dressmaker' in the 1920s. I've learnt to spot cheap dyes, poor fabrics, checks that don't match, when clothes are too tight and `ring' as a result. That's why I find clothes shopping a nightmare; almost everything I can afford is just a load of old schmutter.

Those teeth! My husband said `Did they come from Canada? Did she get them off a beaver?'

I saw snippets of them on BBC News but was unsure about the public reception. Whatever it was, it wasn't cheering nor was it particularly friendly.

Hi Meghan! Are you OK? (not that I give a damn')
none said…
At first glance and from a distance Markle looks ok. The more pictures that are released tell a different story.

The makeup is garish and applied for the camera. The dress is poorly fitted and the zipper to draw attention to her backside, which is a padded fake. The ponytail is fake. Her teeth are fake. More work done on the fake face, fake nose. Fake breasts? Probably.

She plays to the camera constantly, the back shots of her looking at the cameras over her shoulder with the huge smile, all staged. More "see my shapely backside" with the signature signing for the benefit of the men behind her. Everything single thing about her is staged and fake.

So very obvious in the photos and videos. In person it must be overwhelming to witness. She's going for the Hollywood glamour thing, except she doesn't have what it takes to pull it off. She's just not on that level. The whole Markle package is cheap and sleazy. I fully expect to see her push her way into American politics soon.

PaisleyGirl said…
@Holly, I love your list of Meg's fakeness: fake hair, fake breasts, fake bum, fake nose, fake smile, fake teeth (what is going on with those teeth? They are far too bright and scary looking). However, you are forgetting the fake tan / bronzer and the fake eyelashes. In close-up, her make-up is a mess. Not to mention the fake personality and all Meg's other fakeness (fake love for Harry, fake pregnancy, fake residency at FrogCott, fake graduation, fake humanitatianism). I think that is why I dislike her so much: there is nothing authentic or humble or kind about this person.
Forgot to add to my last post, the comments on Meghan's hair. That's the style I go with when I'm bumming around the house or outside gardening, nice and simple and takes seconds to do, keeps my hair out of the way and the low ponytail means I can easily pop a hat on if it's sunny without having to fiddle with my hair. I agree that it's not the kind of thing that you'd go with for an occasion, it's a lazy style that doesn't require any effort or thought.
Nutty Flavor said…
I must disagree with the posters who think Meg will get involved in politics in the US.

Running for office in the US is about coalition-building and, based on that, fundraising.

Throughout her career, Meg has never been good at building coalitions. The people she leaves behind - the people she worked with, and who worked for her - detest her.

Compare that to say, George Bush the elder, who supposedly built his career on personal thank-you notes. Bill Clinton supposedly has an amazing ability to make you feel like you are the most important person in the room. Even Trump and Hillary Clinton, two highly divisive people in public, are supposedly quiet, empathetic, and likeable in private, at least when they choose to be.

Meg? Not so much. And if she can't fundraise for her "foundation", how is she going to fundraise for a campaign?
none said…
@nutty

She won't be building her career on her own. That's not how it works here in the US anymore. It's about identity politics. She will be funded by the party.
Nutty Flavor said…
Just rethinking last night's appearance from a bit of perspective: it wasn't much, but the ceremony will be forgotten anyway.

Yet that backlit photo with Harry, Meg, and the umbrella - the one that looks like a perfume ad - will live on and on, or at least for as long as Harry is around to keep up the "romance" storyline.

As a matter of fact, it might make it difficult for Meg to dump Harry in the short term. With that shot - that smiling, apparently loving connection - how do you argue that he was mentally abusive, an addict, a loser, etc.?

Anyway, Meg didn't look particularly Royal, in my opinion - in part because she was wearing a daytime dress to a nighttime event, and there was no prominent jewelry - but she did look couple-y and very sleek in an anchorwoman/talk show hostess kind of way.

Won't Kelly from Live with Kelly and Ryan need a vacation at some point? (For our UK Nutties, that's a Richard/Judy type of show.)

Live with Meghan and Harry? It's on ABC, which is owned by Disney.

Most viruses are not that clever ... take HIV: it kills the host, it is most likely to attack the young and healthy and socially active, it requires intimate contact to spread, it does not survive outside the host environment.

Covy is much more intelligent: it survives outside the host for at least 3 days, it kills off the sick and elderly (but the vast majority of hosts do recover), it is spread without any direct human contact, the infected do not always show symptoms (or at least not immediately) and there are reports of a person who has recovered still harbouring the virus. If this was developed in a lab somewhere, it really is state of the art. (Note, if a virus kills everyone, it has no host and it then dies instead of spreading.)

Covy has killed far less people than strains of the flu do every year and it is less than half as deadly as the Spanish flu, but the spread seems unstoppable. Clever virus this one!

Back to the Markles:

6 MARCH: Prince Harry to join Lewis Hamilton at the official opening of the Silverstone Experience (I predict he will be chipper and upbeat, and wear suede or running shoes.)

7 MARCH: Meghan and Harry to attend the Mountbatten Music Festival at the Royal Albert Hall (She disappointed me with the lack of bling and the choice of dress for her first outing but it was not the poshest venue, so hopefully she will make up for my disappointment at this event. Expect lots of arrogant, mega-watt Hollywood smiles, 'confident' strutting, hand-waving word salad conversations, and controlling PDA.)

8 MARCH: Meghan to take part in International Women’s Day tributes (Finally, Meghan takes the stage and 'owns' the world. How she will be able to walk without clinging to Hairless I do not know, but the heels will be high, the dress will be tight, and the word salad speech will be filled with plagiarism.)

9 MARCH: Meghan and Harry to join entire Royal Family at the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey (This is the 'big' event. Her script is for 'beloved' and 'most popular and successful' members of the royal family. If she can wear an outfit that fits, I will count it as a win for her.)

@holly

She won't be building her career on her own. That's not how it works here in the US anymore. It's about identity politics. She will be funded by the party.

I gotta disagree with you, I'm sorry. Much of the fundraising in the US is done by the candidates themselves, particularly at the local or state level where Meg would be expected to start out.

Also, not sure where she'd run. She's already created a lot of enemies in California, and her "ethnic profile" doesn't fit what the voters are looking for, particularly in Southern California. The Hispanic and Asian communities are growing quickly in that state, while the clout of White and Black voters is diminishing. She could go to another state, I suppose - that's what Hillary did when she ran for Senate. (So did RFK.)
Sandie said…
I agree with Nutty 100% that Megsy is not going to go into politics in terms of running for office (any office).

Running for office in the US is about coalition-building and, based on that, fundraising.

These are 2 very weak points for Megsy (the few donations and payouts they have had have been because of Harry, and her only 'coalitions' have been for a cookbook, a fashion collection, and an issue of Vogue).

Here is another couple of big ones: No matter how much she lives by focusing on the positive and ignoring the negative, there is no way she could cope with the attention of political campaign. From my viewpoint, American political campaigns are brutal in terms of scheduling (geez if Megsy could not cope with royal duties of meet and greet and eat and watch the show, she is not going to survive a week on a USA political campaign trail) and in the press coverage (the ads, the digging up of dirt ...).

Take a look at AOC's candidacy as an example of how this will work. I'll stop here because it's politics which is upsetting and divisive.
PaisleyGirl said…
I think the main reason Megs would never consider running for any office is that she would not make enough money in the short term. She wants to make millions quickly. Politicians do not make that kind of money until after they have left office.
Seeing as Megs has a very short attention span and no patience, that would not be an attractive option for her.



DogsMatter said…
I totally agree with you, Nutty...Meghan has no future in politics here in the US. The only reason anyone recognizes her name is because the Today Show & GMA do their random reporting on her & Harry. She is utterly unlikable & burns every bridge she crosses.

On her back to Britain look: I initially liked the color of her dress & it looked good at first glance from the front. After seeing other pics, it did seem to be a bit too tight. I'm not a fan of zippers in the back, but I don't think they are necessarily trashy. Her makeup was better than usual. Glad she had her hair out of her face. Seemed like she was trying to be a bit demure, but because she isn't, it looked fake.

I think it's odd neither of them seem like they have a child. If I were her, I would have gladly brought my kid to show off. But she just wants to flaunt herself.
The current performance in London fits with everything we know about NPDs.

It's the `Hoover' manoeuvre.

Just when you think they can't be any more vile, they come back all sweetness and light so one wonders if the horrible behaviour was just an illusion. Pure gaslighting.

It's called `Hoovering', though, because it's designed to suck one back into the situation yet again, thinking `I must have imagined it - they're really very nice people.'

So the mad merry-go-round begins all over again. Think Mark Gertler painting:

Everyone screaming, wanting to get off.

They are not nice people, as we well know.

US politics means twitter wars these days. Megs could never handle the negative tweets. Sure she would get an avalanche of sugary tweets, but the negative ones would drive her crazy. Plus the DM would feature some of them.

I noticed that the coverage of H & MM has been very positive. Has there been any shade thrown at JH & MM by any of the Mainstream media in the UK? All the complaining about the press has worked....for now.

It is going to be an interesting week ahead. She will be lapping up the attention. She must be overjoyed that she has got more press than the W & K on their last day in Ireland.
As an alternative to Myers-Briggs typology, this week's New Scientist (p53 `It takes all sorts) mentions the `most popular' recent system, that of JK Rowling's Hogwarts.

I particularly like the category `Slytherin (interesting but evil)'.

Anyone we know?

Hi Meg, are you OK?
Wild boar.

I am still snickering about your husbands comment about her teeth coming from a beaver in Canada. If she were to be a Disney cartoon animal that is what she would be the slicked back hair and the enormous white teeth. A frickin beaver. As a British Canadian I could take offence. But I won’t as our beavers are better looking and have more class.

Royal fans gushed over 'beautifully breathtaking' photographs of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle giving each other the 'look of love' in the rain as they made their first post-Megxit appearance on Thursday.

The Duke, 35, and Duchess of Sussex, 38, stepped out arm-in-arm underneath an umbrella as they attended the awards evening at Mansion House in London.

And royal enthusiasts across the nation were quick to take to social media - with many saying the smiley snaps looked like something 'out of a movie scene.'

'Only Harry and Meghan could make a rainy day look this romantic,' enthused one, while a second penned: 'Novels should be written off this photo alone.'

Elle, I feel your pain. Having been in lots of panic-buying situations (how about every hurricane season?), I feel your pain. My personal emergency food to have on hand for when TSHTF is Krispy Kreme doughnuts, raspberry filled because, damn it, if I'm fixing to die, the low-carb diet and celiac disease can just eff off. I commend you on your presence of mind to secure the cookies. Since I recognized the similarities in the way people react when they realize that this is real and scary, I made sure we had plenty of TP, alcohol and chocolate early on. Too early. I've already eaten all the Dove chocolate eggs.

I, uh, did buy an extra 50 lb. Bag of dog food and 30 lbs. Of cat food.
Liver Bird said…
Much as I hate to say it, last night went very well for the Harkles. Not a total triumph by any means, but I'd have to say well played.

Sure, we can say her dress was too tight and not really suitable for an evening event, that her eye makeup was overdone and the hand-holding was annoying, but the vast majority of people aren't going to analyse it in such detail. Most of them are just going to look at the pretty lady in her pretty dress, all smiles, holding hands with her (for once) smart looking husband. So they'll have achieved what they wanted to achieve, and done a good job of marketing themselves as a chic, good-looking oh-so-in-love couple.

What lies behind the facade, and how well they can maintain it when they are no longer royal, are of course entirely different questions. It will be interesting to see if they manage to maintain the same relatively 'high' standards throughout the next few days.

__________________________________________

There's no doubt Markle is an attractive woman, who managed to smarten herself up this time better than before (though the zipper is a tacky and unnecessary add-on).

But more and more, I'm reminded of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde. Here is Wikipedia's plot summary:

"Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorian's beauty is responsible for the new mood in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic world view: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life.

"Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and records every sin.[6]"

In the end, Dorian gets his comeuppance. I'm hoping la Markle gets hers sooner rather than later.

Here is a link (hopefully it works) that shows a close-up of Meghan's face and how hideous her make-up is, with the strange brown line and usual visible smeared eyelash glue. I can't believe a make-up artist would do such a lousy job (or herself for that matter).

To everyone saying she looks nice: I honestly, swear to God, can not get past her heinous personality. I find her so offensive, so vulgar, so tacky, so detestable, so revolting, so nasty, so fake, so greedy, so narcissistic, so manipulative, so repulsive and so deranged, she could look like a trillion dollars and I wouldn't be able to see it.

To me she always looks like trash, because when I look at her I just see trash.

@Superfly I'm just going to say 'times two' on what you said. I will always look at her and see trash. The fact that she wore a dress that was waaaaaaaaaay too tight and had a 'let's make this easy' zipper down the back did not help, but regardless, trash.

@Swampwoman You didn't buy too early. You did a QC test on the Dove eggs to see if they may possibly ward off coronavirus. If you don't have the virus, the eggs may have helped in the prevention of it -- it's hard to be sure. If I were you, I would buy and eat more Dove eggs because one can never be too careful.
@Lurking With Spoon

Right, a couple of less than glowing articles. I was hoping that there would be a cooler reception for the prodigal grandson and his current spouse.

The disrespect to his grandmother still irks me.

I suspect the papers/media are pushing this story as a distraction for all the chaos/problems going on at the moment. Whilst I don't buy this "true love" story It does make for a lot of clicks/traffic to sites.

There are some "from behind" photos of Rach here:

Liver Bird said…
So she's playing games with the press again. Seems she visited the National Theatre yesterday but 'embargoed' the pics until releasing them to the London Standard today. I guess she wants to carefully ration out pictures to ensure there's a steady stream of new 'appearances' in the papers every day. Since she has nothing going on today, she arranged for the pics to be released now.

Oh, and given that the photos were only given exclusively to one paper (a trashy one too) that means it can't have been an official royal event. They must have hated the fact that the royal rota were in attendance at last night's appearance.

And she brought her favourite pet photographer, Chris Allerton.

Essentially, she's using her 'patronage' as a photo opportunity. And all this nonsense about 'secret trip'. Firstly, it's hardly 'secret' if you release pics at a time of your choosing, and secondly, royal events like this shouldn't be 'secret', since royals are public servants.

She's using the NT as a publicity prop, like she used the Grenfell ladies, Smartworks and those Canadian women's charities she 'popped in to' for a 'chat'. I hope they dump her.

@R_O

Has anyone seen the video where Harry was supposed to greet someone, then Meghan touched his back and he gave way for her to greet this lady first?

Yes I saw it. M barged in front of Harry. Nothing has changed regarding those two.

Although M did look good her outfit and makeup was more Hollywood than BRF.

I noticed in newspapers and gossip sites these two have run through their news cycle. There's not the interest or willingness to give them the benefit of doubt. Their 15 minutes are just about up.

@Elle

Off topic. I am also in the PNW . We are being told to self isolate if we are high risk(n over age 60 or have underlying health conditions, which is a LOT of people). Tech companies are telling employees to work at home.

Although this virus is dangerous, not having enough information about where and how it spread(ing) in the Seattle area is causing unnecessary panic.

OT Alert re: Vodka Hand Sanitizer use

Sorry, folks but Vodka is not the way to sanitize hands and here's an excerpt from Tito's a US Vodka Mfg.

"Per the CDC, hand sanitizer needs to contain at least 60% alcohol," Tito's Handmade Vodka tweeted on Thursday. "Tito's Handmade Vodka is 40% alcohol, and therefore does not meet the current recommendation of the CDC."

The company was replying to a user who bragged about using the vodka to make a DIY hand sanitizer. In an attached statement, Tito's cited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by saying that washing hands is still the best way to fight the virus."

IMO if one must use a liquor, makes sure it contains at least 60% alcohol (which most vodka's are Not.) To clarify, proof of the liquor equates to one-half the percentage. For example, 80 proof liquor only contains 40 percent of alcohol by volume.

@Wild Boar
on the personality type issue - my teenage daughter has moved on from the Harry Potter classifications - to Dungeons and Dragons which ranks a person from Chaotic through neutral to Lawful in combination with Good through neutral to Evil
Lawful = follows a set or "rules" (though it may be made-up rules, still consistent) Chaotic = no rules
Good = for the benefit of others Evil = for the benefit of self

IMO Meghan is Neutral, Evil because sometimes she follows her own rules - but sometimes she does things just to stir the pot, because she can - but is always out for only Meghan.

In any case - check it out...it's interesting

@Nutty your deception of the dress was just right: “ sleek in an anchorwoman/talk show hostess kind of way.“

@WildBoar Thanks for thé info on hovering; it sheds light on what is happening with MM and JH this week.

All fo your comments helped me to realize that, while MM may have had an improved appearance and they may have done a good job looking like a happy couple, what defines them is what they’ve done to the monarchy and to the citizens of Britain. Their photos splashed everywhere and the articles gushing over her appearance are inappropriate in light of what they’ve done. They’re getting the star treatment after behaving abominably, and that really irks me. It’s an insult to the people Harry and Meghan have insulted.
Himmy said…
The standard is set very low for Meg right now. If she combs her hair before an event, she is “well groomed”. If she doesn’t show us her bra and there is no stain on her clothes, she is “well-dressed”.

Meg lacks the polish and attention to details to be a true A-lister. I can clearly see her panty line in some of yesterday’s photos. Lady Di is out and Kim Kardashian is in for our dear old Meg.

She is also already racking up her "secret" visits so she has more throw back photos to post to her soon to be non Royal Sussex IG anytime Kate and Will do something to take the attention away from them. She hasn't changed a bit at all.

My belief is that almost all men look good in dark charcoal suits. Ties, like scarves with women, can change an entire suit or outfit. H, with blue eyes, red hair, and ruddy skin tone, would look smashing in blues of all shades, warm greens (to offset his skin tone and hair color), lilacs in casual tops, along with turquoise (smashing with his eye color).

M not wearing pantyhose (tights) does not bother me, unless she is in a church, wedding, military ceremony, remembrance days and formal occasions. I never wear pantyhose, except for formal occasions (but I wear midi dresses, so it is a moot point). I do not even wear socks in winter, unless it is snowing and I am in boots. I am not a Duchess by marriage, though. How hard was it to follow simple rules like hose? Or more modest clothes? Kate, to be fair, I am afraid, is a bit frumpy in her clothing,.I would have Queen Letizia on my speed dial. She is a royal who has fantastic clothes, and is dressed appropriately but modern, not frumpy. I must admit I bought several of her Zara and Hugo Boss outfits, and love them. Kate needs her stylist.

Suede should be banned from shoes. Inevitably, after a few wears, they get dirty, scruffy, and worn out at edges. Treated or not, people in the limelight should stay away suede, faux or real. See H as a Just Say No.

Looking today, more critically at photos, it is clear many were photoshopped. It is obvious HAMS hired their own photographers. I did love the color of the dress, the cut, and Meghan’s red lipstick (note to Kate - you look wash-out without darker lipstick and maybe change your foundation and blush for daytime). Seeing M’s backside, it is plain that she had butt implants either sewn into the dress, or cleverly inserted into a shape wear undergarment. Her tied-back hair, although sleek in front, looked like a long, dead animal on her back. Literally, like my grandmother’s black, ratty fox shoulder wrap. M did not look good in videos. Her dress kept scrunching off, she was pulling it down, and M and H’s non-stop hands and arms slithering around each other’s all body parts non-stop was so horrible it was funny. H pushing M’s arm off his shoulder and pushing her forward, their handholding in M’s crotch, the lack of basic manners and etiquette, and all the little details that make what on first glance okay, but then on second look, not okay. I think M gives good speeches, even if she does not make sense, as the opposite of the nasty way H reacted when his teleprompter went giggly and his snarl, plus rushed speech, knowing there would be no clapping, was pretty bad but pop corn worthy.

On another note - I just watched the video of Princess Charlene of Monaco marriage to Prince Albert....OMG. So sad. Every child who fantasizes about becoming a princess should be forced to watch this. The girl tried to escape 3 times before the wedding before they captured her and stole her passport, cried all the way through - nearly bawling during the second half of the wedding, spent the honeymoon in separate hotels....and then resigned herself to her fate.

@all the nutties: You all are cracking me up!

I'm in agreement that, at first blush, she seemed to have gotten it right. If one only sees the raindrop photo, she doesn't seem like her usual, complete mess. However, even just glancing at any of the other pictures of the event, I couldn't get past the obvious staging, where Meagain trots out her usual, stock poses. You have the "hands together, touching chin in joyous rapture" and the "hopelessly in love" look at harry. Don't forget the "innocent ingenue" and the "sex kitten" over the shoulder with the rump in the air. It really never gets any better than that with her. Harry, as usual, is set dressing. But the worst parts are really the dress and the teeth. Victoria Beckham really didn't go wrong with making the dress, but you couldn't get a worse model to wear it. Meghan turned that frock into the MULLET of dresses. Business in the front, party in the back y'all. And the beaver teeth... It was like she was trying to show the world that even her, still extant, wisdom teeth were capped.

Sooo, long story short, she wasn't royal, but she was terrifically short of the mark on red carpet. For her, it may have been a successful event, but if I've notice anything about these two, they can't keep up tee act for long. Even the tightly controlled Africa trip fell apart pretty quick. And the aftermath was catastrophic.

Lastly, In our neck of the woods, northern California, I don't know that most of us are concerned with getting the virus, so much as we are concerned about the prospect of the quarantine. The fact that it is so contagious and seems to suddenly pp up in random places does not help. But two weeks of unexpected quarantine, when nobody is going to want to get near you is a tough thing to prepare for. There doesn't seem to be a siege mentality yet, but I am expecting it.

A lot of catching up this morning.

Sandie - agree completely that a recession will be a bigger deal. I have many friends who are one medical emergency away from a steep drop.

I didn't know back zip dresses were trashy either. I don't like how visible it was, that part I think of as trashy. Invisible zippers are much more classy. Still like the color though.

Nutty - agree with you that she would not do well at fundraising for politics when compared to for the foundation. I wouldn't be surprised at all about George Bush Sr and thank you notes. A friend's grandfather was a little older and he did very well at fund raising for his causes with thank you for your contribution as a hand written note. I think the party would help (maybe with hire this person, use this print shop, try this as a mailer but I don't know that they would be most or all of the fundraised money.

The other issue with running in politics is that it can get really dirty as the other side works to uncover anything they think should disqualify you. You have to be pretty squeaky clean. And brutal does describe it from start to finish and staying in office.

Nutty - loved the description of a perfume ad for the photos. And yes.

The claw of control - whenever I see a campaign to convince me how in luv a couple is, how they are renewing their vows, I almost always am convinced that it more to convince themselves it is true and that, in reality, they are teetering on divorce. Maybe not always but at least the celeb ones seem to be.

To all concerned about Coronavirus

If we are destined to end up next to the virus carrier everything will depend on our own immune system. If it is good we may end up ill but will cope with it. Meanwhile there are ways to give boost to your immune system. Many natural substances are scientifically proven to boost immune response. Look it up, choose what works for you.

Nutty doesn't like us sharing folk remedies on her site 😢 and I apologize if I overstep. When I mentioned grapefruit seed extract I was referring to research behind it. It has a very strong anti-viral component potent enough to tackle even the flu virus. There is a large report about it available online. Oregano oil is recently confirmed to have similar anti-viral properties.

My mother as doctor with many years of experience confirmed though 100% medical grade alcohol is the best option to kill nasty viruses, if it is not available vodka can do the job. Her colleagues faced situations when needed to do emergency surgery outdoors and the only sanitizer was high proof alcoholic drinks. Simply poured it on their hands. Did the job. So if you can't wash your hands right away alcohol will help.

The most sensible approach is to avoid crowds and wear face masks if you can't avoid restricted spaces. They will not stop the virus but they will stop the droplets, and it may give you just about enough time to discard the mask before the virus gets in touch with your skin.

Stay healthy dear Nuttiers, remember "This too shall pass".

It's so very obvious she's using these last days in the UK to pad her 'humanitarian superstar' CV. Yesterday a 'secret' visit to the NT and now a school in Dagenham? Seems so random but then Dagenham is a deprived area with a high proportion of ethnic minorities so you can be sure she'll make a point of having her pet photographer take a few cute pics of her with a variety of students of all different colours and creeds.

I really wish these people would just tell her where to go. They must realise she's just using them to make herself look good. Then again I guess it would be hard to tell a 'duchess' she's not welcome. But the whole thing just makes me cross.
Hikari said…
WalkHumbly,

>>>@Hikari I understand your perspective on HG Tudor. He was ordered into counseling and the writing, sharing with others, is part of his therapy, according to his bio.<<<

I enjoy the NarcSite, and it's given me a lot of insight into the Narc personality. I have run into some people I would class as Borderline, and definitely a whole ton of self-absorbed people--I think self-absorption is the primary characteristic of our time, nursed along by social media. Our ordinary lunch or banal trips to the grocery store to buy toilet paper are duly documented in Instas and tweets. We are breeding generations of people who don't know what empathy is. Rather than help someone in trouble, they stand around taking video on their phones. Meg is a product of her time, in a sense, though she's a cut above the garden variety self-absorbed Millennial. I've encountered plenty of folks beyond the Millennial demographic that also suffer from #MeMeitis. It's rare that I have a real give-and-take conversation anymore as it seems most people get fixated on themselves and the other person's remarks are just an inconvenient pause in their talking. They don't so much 'listen' as wait for their next opportunity to jump in with more about themselves.

HG Tudor evidences a very great level of self-awareness, without which no therapy is going to be successful, so I'd say his therapy has worked a treat. He likes to reiterate all of his Narc tendencies--coldness, self-interest, lack of empathy, looking at other people basically as meat sacks far beneath him in mental powers--yet at the same time, he exhibits a form of empathy & desire to be useful and help victims of a Narc navigate their relationships. This 'agony aunt' feature comprises the bulk of his business, since one can pay for extra courses in dealing with the Narcissist. Yes, he's doing this for profit at the core . . this site seems like his full-time job now, but in his own way, he's providing a public service, and has tapped into a unique niche that he can own.

I do wonder sometimes if he is winding up his readership a little bit, because such a level of self-understanding and willingness to dismantle his own inner workings is not a quality generally evidenced by other Narcs. Certainly not Meghan. As HG himself says, she seems to operate instinctively, like an animal. She knows when she feels rage, and that she wants to hurt somebody, and she can be systematic in how she goes about doling out the hurt. But if you sat down with her and asked her to enumerate how exactly she goes about targeting a new patsy and systematically stripping him of his core relationships & sense of self, she would balk at this. Could she cogently discuss her strategy of 'triangulation' and all the myriad subtle and not-so-subtle ways she controls Harry and has poisoned the well of the Royal family? I don't think she could. She's reactive, not a long-range tactical planner. I think when she does what she does, she feels perfectly justified. 'Other people' have driven her to extreme measures due to 'their' unreasonable behavior. And to Megs, nobody is being *more* unreasonable right now than the Queen.
Fairy Crocodile said…
Markle will do anything to "prove" they are loved and popular, because popularity is a bargaining power. But the main thing is she wasted the chance to be a popular royal. She can't be half in and half out.

They are outside of the royal fold after March 31. What is left? The residue of royal aura that will waste away. The notion that she was not treated fairly that will fade because it is not true. Her marriage to Harry that will not last. Archie, who will be used to get money.

She is nearly 40. She is "controversial" as Disney correctly pointed out. She is not very smart. She is addicted to limelight. She depends on plastic surgery to look good. She is not original, talented or dedicated. Her past is not great. Her only chance is catching another wealthy man before it catches up with her. She has no family and no real friends. She has made an enemy out of British press, a single biggest mistake she could have ever made.

It does not matter how she looks during her stay in UK. It is too late to matter.
WalkHumbly said…
@Nutty I just saw a clip of Ainsley Earhardt, anchor/personality on a morning news segment. She's wearing a well fitted, pink shift dress, very similar to the one MM wore last night. I remembered your description of MM's dress, and you were spot on! However, Ainsley wore a matching tie belt with hers, which looked great.


WalkHumbly said…
@Hikari, good points about borderline and other similar personalities, and yes, the younger generations are being bombarded with many challenges.

I DO think HG enjoys "winding up" his readers! I think he admits it, too! So, yes, everything should be taken in the context in which it is offered. He does do a good job delineating how we know MM has a personality disorder.
Hikari said…
@Sandie,

>>> think Harry looked genuinely happy at his engagement today. It reminded me of the little by Harry who loved to play on fire engines and so on. It was an odd engagement as I do not know what his connection to the museum is.<<<

Inside the rapidly-aging, skirting middle-aged Harry, there is still that little 6 year old kid who loved to play on fire engines. It doesn't take much to make him 'happy' in the moment . . .just dangle some shiny objects in front of him or let him hold a celebrity's guitar and pretend to play it. Creating happiness in a very small window by showering him with attention and 'treats' results in some smiling photos, but is bound to only be temporary. Stick around long enough and one will probably see an equal number of pouty mad face photos at the same event.

Happiness is temporary but 'contentment' is more long-lasting. That's not just for a day or an hour when one is 'having fun' . . Contentment is a surety in oneself that one is satisfied with one's choices and feels confident, in the longer-term, that life is good, even despite some temporary setbacks. Harry evidences the mental maturity level of a young child, constantly needing entertainment and validation, chasing that 'high' of a 'feeling happy'. Striving for contentment in one's more permanent circumstances is a grown-up attitude. Neither he nor Meg evidence the ability to be content at all. Whatever they are looking for, they aren't going to find it, separately or together.

I sometimes idly wonder if Haz is under some form of hypnosis or mental suggestion when he's with her. His sickeningly googy PDA behavior and docility is completely at odds with how he is other times. (cf. "Turn the f*ck around!" on the balcony). It's like there are flashes of a more assertive Harry still in there but 90% of the time, he stands and walks and holds her hand exactly the way Mummy tells him to do. We never know what we are going to get--Will it be Scowling Harry or Smiling like an Eejit Harry? Dude turns on a dime. He's like a Stepford Husband/Replicant . . but now and again, he remembers that he was once Harry of the United Kingdom who gave up everything for this marriage. (cf. "My wife will now say a few words in French.")

The spectacle has passed far beyond entertainment into a dark and twisted meditation on the greatest relationship failure of our time since Wallis and David. I don't event think those two were this bad. It's mind-blowing. I would happily confiscate every camera and camera phone in the world and make the Internet go dark just to SHUT THESE TWO FOCKERS UP.

The eye shadow - oh man is that crazy wild or what? But I started thinking about it.

Growing up, my mother taught me to sew so this meant I spent a lot of time in the fabric store looking at patterns. What Mom said was that Vogue was always way out there, tended to be an extreme look mainly but look at the others and you will see some similar patterns but not as extreme.

So, I look at that make up and think I would see this in Vogue magazine as a supposed coming trend (and quickly replaced by the next coming trend).

Harry's Hands:

What the Heck's going on?

Some photos show what one might think of as `normal' hands for a man - strong & presumably capable. Then there are the others (particularly yesterday) - with such long and thin fingers that they're almost like those of someone with Marfan Syndrome.

Different teeth too - has he had work done?

Or, is there another explanation?
Louise said…
So, no time to visit the Royal Theatre in the 2 years that she was living in the UK, but now she has time?

And the visit to the school?

I will state again that either she wants back in or is ingratiating herself to the Queen in order to renegotiate a better exit deal.
She is still trying for part time Royal, at least, in order to hold on to her titles.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8082933/Meghan-Markle-secret-solo-trip-Londons-National-Theatre.html

A patron is traditionally required to raise money through big donations and public financial support. Secret visits, briefings from the theatre on their programmes, and swanning around calling herself HRH and a senior royal does not do any of that. Meghan does not have the connections in the UK to get very rich people to make big donations, she personally does not have huge wads of cash to donate, and she does not encourage support from the public by turning up at opening nights across the country looking fabulous. Meghan is using the National Theatre and not only are they letting her but they are falling at her feet in fawning adoration. Well, it could be worse ... it could be the days of an absolute monarch and Megsy could stage a coup and take over the whole country!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8083119/Meghan-Markle-meets-pupils-east-London-school-second-day-UK.html

Why was she at this school? What right does she have to interfere in education in the UK? What does she want from them?

I guessed that Megsy would do a lot of private engagements and take along a photographer for the photo ops (I did not realise it would be such a high profile one) to use to publicise herself, and would be surrounded by a wall of security (children and others being turned away from the school because she was there?).

If the UK thinks that once this 'goodbye' visit is over they will see the end of Meghan, they are probably mistaken. She will continue to use the BRF, the monarchy, and the people and institutions of the UK to maintain a high public profile. She published her manifesto and that is what she is aiming to do, irrespective of what the Queen says or does.

Superfly said "To everyone saying she looks nice: I honestly, swear to God, can not get past her heinous personality."

I agree. I try to stay objective. I resent how women are critiqued by their appearance. I try not to do that, but MM makes it difficult.

A woman's value is greater than her sexual desirability. It breaks my heart seeing young women posting pictures in their underwear with fish pout lips trying to get men to " like " them. I have tutored and mentored young women caught in that trap. They mistake attention for affection. Public women like MM perpetuate this focus. Feminist my naturally padded ass!

MM is a role model of the result of a woman whose life is focused on male sexual approval. Apparently, she spent the last few months losing weight and improving her appearance. In my opinion, that is her problem not the solution to her problems. She has been all sex and surface all of her life. She is a damaged, empty shell of a woman.

My heart hurts for the young women who see her as a role model. Prostitute yourself to men for a living and live " happily ever after" with Prince charming.

I am so discouraged. I see myself as a feminist. I believe a woman's value is in her accomplishments, actions, kindness...in short the life she chooses to live....not her appearance.

A woman like the late Barbara Bush is the opposite. She focused her life on her work, not her appearance. Although her work was traditional, raising her large family and being a political wife, I consider her a role model for women who want to raise a family. It is not my life choice, but I respect hers.

The focus on MM, Princess Catherine's, Pipas, Camilla's appearance perpetuates society's view of women as decorative second class citizens. Each woman is capable of achieving more than a pretty picture in a magazine.

What is that saying...men want an lady in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom?

Harry grew up with staff to handle the household drudgery. He just needed to find a whore.

Did he ever.

Marriage - the poor man's answer to the servant problem.

Based on my (limited) experience of his work on Meg, I'm not sure how Daniel ("I Blub like a Baby!") Martin can call himself a 'professional makeup artist' with a straight face. He's given us the Corpse Bride bridal look and whatever this was yesterday. "Bollywood Roller Derby Girl", perhaps? I didn't mind the lipstick, but what the heck was going on with her eyes? I could have done better than this 'pro' who was imported at somebody's great expense.

Meg is not the advertisement that any beauty professional or designer should be seeking out.

Wild Boar,

>>>Harry's Hands:

Some photos show what one might think of as `normal' hands for a man - strong & presumably capable. Then there are the others (particularly yesterday) - with such long and thin fingers that they're almost like those of someone with Marfan Syndrome.<<<

Harry has always had those pale, thin hands. What I call 'Clinton Hands'. Unfairly or not, that makes me think that perhaps, based on those hands, the Royal Jewels are nothing to write home about. Paula Jones testified that Bill's endowment was less than impressive and had a deformity, too.

It could just be a wives' tale, but to me Harry's hands are outward manifestations of his weak and lily-livered character. His body type is entirely different from William's. Wills is a strapping guy, and his hands are massive. He's usually got those massive hands folded modestly in his signature 'fig leaf pose'. Judging by the size of his hands and the nose inherited from his Mum, and the feet . . Kate probably doesn't have any complaints in the bedroom department.

>>>Different teeth too - has he had work done?

Since nearly all the close-up pics were of *Her*, I had a hard time getting a look at Harry's mouth, but it wouldn't surprise me if he's had some cosmetic dentistry done. Perhaps they got a 2-for-1 special at their celeb dentist in Vancouver or L.A., wherever they went.

FrenchieLiv said…
@KnitWit : I'm 100% agree with you !


I do think everything was staged a long time ago.
Phase 1: love at 1st sight (“the family she never had…”).
Phase 2: I’m unhappy (so called panic attack, weight gain, poor clothing/make up choices, no one asked me if I’m ok…)
Phase 3: Megxit
Phase 4: the comeback: Look: I’m happy now I’m off the BRF, I’m an asset for the Firm and I’m will show what you are going to lose (all smiles, I’m good looking/weight loss, better clothing/make up choices, besotted couple…)

The thing with Harry & Meghan is they can’t help screwing up everything (e.g.: S.A tour which was far from being perfect but was ok until they released their statement against the tabloids).
I am just waiting for their next mistakes.

As for Victoria Beckham’s dress: it's not a surprise.
Phase 1: love at 1st side
Phase 2: shenanigans / Megxit: the feud was revealed
Phase 3: Victoria is reportedly in big financial trouble/ David Beckham says he is proud about Harry’s decision / at the same time Meghan & Harry face a tremendous backlash
Phase 4: Meghan wears a V. B’s fashion label dress
= This is called transactional relationship/win-win relationship.

Wolfwoof said…
These "secret" trips make me so mad. She just wants to control the media and the shots that are used. And people are saying she is actually charging the media to use them! (But actually is that allowed since she is a working royal on this trip?)

@Sandie good points about what is required of a Patron. What a moron making a secret trip to her Patronage, lolol. I guess we'll constantly be 24 hours behind on this trip since she doesn't release photos until the next day after she's picked out her favorite shots over morning coffee.
Fair enough, Hikari, but, in that case, who is the `Hairy' with the manly hands, as opposed to Hairy with the Count Orlok hands? I've been going through as many online photos as I can face to try and work it out.

Now, I du tell 'ee, `Hairy Hands' has a special meaning down 'yere in Debn, m'dears. 'Tez like this 'yere then, look'ee-see - if 'ee searches `Hairy Hands, Dartmoor', there's the story - 'tes mighty spooky...

Re: the pic of her pubic bone sticking out - this is how snug clothing fits me when I'm really skinny too.

I don't think it's a WTF thing it's just the human body.

Not sure the dress needed to be quite so tight though.
Robert Clack School Dagenham - visited by MM.

Did PC have anything to do with this? The school's online info highlights his visit of some years ago, videos also on YouTube.

Pure coincidence, of course.
And if anyone's interested in the Royal Jewels, just search `Harry Vegas' - you'll have to turn off `safe search' though.

I've done a lot of life drawing so, as far as I am concerned, there's nothing particularly special there.

It does suggest a future job opportunity for him, as a life model - but it's far harder than you might think - very difficult to sit still and do absolutely nothing.

If he wanted to make it part of his humanitarian work, a positive contribution to society, he could do worse than volunteer as a life model at a medical school. Highly respectable work, allowing students to draw over his body when asked to identify specific muscles for example.

(I used to ride a little cream pony belonging to a riding school. She was sometimes used by trainee equine physiotherapist & massagers so she'd end up very prettily multicoloured.)
Hikari said…
>>>It does suggest a future job opportunity for him, as a life model - but it's far harder than you might think - very difficult to sit still and do absolutely nothing.<<<

Yes, holding a still pose for a long time does tax the muscles and is very fatiguing. Herry is so jangly and wired all the time, there is absolutely no way he could hold a pose for longer than 5 minutes, if that. But that'd probably be enough time to get a sketch down, if there isn't much of anything to draw . . .

I'm willing to accept that Meg uses a Not-Harry stand-in on occasion when she wants to stage a far-away shot . . I think contrary to the sickening PDA displays we are subjected to in public, he spends as little time with her as possible, in different countries when at all possible. I myself haven't come across any photos of a 'Manly Hands Harry', so maybe you could direct me to some?

This marriage is a sham. Their 'family life' is a sham. No wonder William can't bear to even look at his brother. Harry must be a person none of them recognize anymore.

Maybe Megsie's sending the stand-in to represent Harry with his own family. That would take the cake as a Narc control move.

William takes after the Spencer side with his robust frame. Harry inherited the stringier Mountbatten frame, but whereas watercolor artist Philip has 'artistic' hands, Harry's are just . .meh.

Speaking of hands, can I say how much Meg's hands bother me? They are square, with those spatulate fingers . . her pointer and ring fingers are the same length, and she's got knobbly joints--double-jointed, I've heard somebody say. Her nail beds seem disproportionately large to the size of her fingers and square like a man's. That white/beige nail polish she favors just contributes to the kind of corpse-like patina of her hands in general.

I don't think Meg was born a bio-male, but she does have some very masculine features. Between the two of them, those are four ugly hands.

This is a gas . . an article from the Sun from a hand-reader who says that Meg's blunt, same length fings indicate that she's a 'good communicator'. Harry's longer pointer fingers indicate that "he's a born leader".

Well, that's that credibility right out the damn window. When in his 351/2 years has Haz *ever* been a leader? We do know that Meg loves the sound of her own voice, but let's not confuse that with stellar communication skills!

Lindy said…
A few things that bother me are the assumptions: she obviously did Coke or adderall to lose weight. Hmm, we don’t know that and making statements like that only serves to lampoon the haters as stooping to anything — not facts.

Second, her teeth have been redone. Say what? I looked at numerous before and after. She already had really white veneers. Why would she rip them out and do them again? Plus the second tooth (incisor) is exactly the same size — shorter— as before.

Lastly, not here but on Sussex showdown they’re ripping apart her eye makeup, with a photo I think is photoshopped. But regardless, her makeup looked great and even Piers said she looked great. It’s not a good look for the haters.

If you can’t ever throw a bone or remain neutral it only hurts the cause of trying to convince people that she is a narcissist. I believe she is 100% but I can also back off and not just pile it on.

I do agree. I think she looks tidy and very presentable, perhaps her dress is a bit tight, but other than that I can’t fault her. I just wish she had put this much effort in when she was a royal. It seems she just didn’t want to. 🥴

I cited my source source since everyone here was going on and on about Vodka's use in hand sanitizer. I would not be surprised if most people don't know what Everclear is...lol its about like pure Moonshine. Some small liquor stores probably don't sell Everclear.

In addition, I thought it helpful to mention how 'Proof' equates to 'Alcohol by Volume', again somet6hing the average person might not know.

For some who are near an Agricultural Feed Store, one might have an easier time finding alcohol in larger quantities

Lemon Tea here

Using Vodka is all well and fine, but its very expensive.

As for the honey gushing articles coming out in the media, can someone explain why it takes sometimes 4 or 5 journalists to write one story? I usually see who wrote the story depending on how syrupy it is. But 5 writers ? Surely this is required for political write ups .

Its quite a thing to see forced affection in front of cameras. What kind of affection goes on when unforced and not in front of cameras. Everything , every picture looks staged. Looks like a colossal public gimmick to me.

Also, as far as royalty facing the unwashed , that should be said as the unwashed royalty facing the unwashed. I am sorry, maybe its me, but in a lot of those photos Markle does not look clean.

@Lindy
Do you always believe that weight loss was attained through "yoga", "vegan pudding" and "green tea spritzers" or just this time?

Here's a tip - Adele didn't lose 100 pounds by "dieting and exercise" either, no matter what her "personal trainer" says.

Call me a hater and I will say - absolutely. Meghan uses appetite suppressant chemicals of some type - IMO, most likely cocaine.
Fairy Crocodile said…
@Holly

I guess with 16 million hits Harry Markle blog has become very popular. We can rest assured his point of view is widely spread. And he is spot on. He got it right that singing that song was mocking Harry and Markle - a very British way.
I read all sorts of shade thrown at MM in the DM's story of her visit to the National Theater. First, the headline talks of her "jazz hands," while mimicking another person, which reminds pepole just how fake she is. Then, it calls her an American former actress who is trying to go back to the look from her Suits days with killer heels, while wearing British designers- finally! Another blow was the comment on her handbag might be in homage to HMTQ.

Next is that she will stay on as the National Theater's patron, while the "bosses remain confident" that she will remain "engaged" while "she continues her "star reach." That's not even subtle shade. The article reminds readers that The National Theater was not informed of her move to Canada, and that a top West End producer said MM may only have until Easter to "prove her mettle" to remain its patron. "If she is not going to do any work for the theater, she should step down." It shows a photo of three National Theater members, bored out of their minds, at her visit in 2019.

It goes on to speak about The Harkles coming out of HMTQ's favorite restaurant at The Goring, "a place frequented by royals and celebrities." It reminds readers that The Harkles are staying at their British home, Frogmore, a very sore spot with British readers because of the nearly $3 mil in refurbishments paid by public funds.

Then it describes how "deeply upset" HMTQ is at learning of their plans to step down "in an apparent effort to bounce the RF into agreeing with their demands to retain the trappings of royal life while pursuing independent commercial careers." Next is the explanation of the Royal Sussex merching debacle.

After discussing that The Harkles left Archie in Canada, it reminds readers of the ITV show in which MM discusses the British stiff upper lip, and how she's just surviving, not thriving in the BRF, leading to a discussion of the turmoil surrounding Megxit.

The British press have a certain way of throwing shade at people, with jibes just below the surface, and this article, to me is a master class in shade-throwing. So is the article on how much in love they are.

@Fairy and Holly,

"Harry Markle" is a woman. She's just named her blog after Meghan's Handbag.

Apart from a male tarot card reader and Piers Morgan, I have yet to find a man who is as invested in the Dumbarkle Saga as women are. Meg offends women of all races in a deeply personal way, since she repudiates everything strong, independent, professionally successful women of character stand for and have worked for. Men see her as more benign or just a piece of a$$.
I was catching up on Harry Markle earlier and the mentions of the summer dress with no coat in this weather clicked in my mind - I remember it being discussed before that she wears season-inappropriate clothing because she's showcasing next season's fashions in advance for merching purposes so if she's still having to do this would that explain why the dress wasn't as properly fitted as it could have been? Apologies if it's already been mentioned and I missed it.

@Hikari

Thank you! I thought she must be a woman to catch on so many details. She is good, isn't she?
@Lurking with Spoon,
Not being able to dress appropriately for the weather is one of the first signs of a diminished mental capacity. It is one of the things doctors look for in a person not being able to care properly for themselves.

I do agree, though, that she's doing it for merching purposes. It just looks silly to be wearing a light, white summer outfit when the outdoor temp is in the 40s. I'll not even discuss how ridiculous a nearly 40 year old woman looks in girlish short puffy sleeves.

@Lindy,

Lastly, not here but on Sussex showdown they’re ripping apart her eye makeup, with a photo I think is photoshopped. But regardless, her makeup looked great and even Piers said she looked great. It’s not a good look for the haters.

It definitely started off looking great but then as the evening wore on, her eye shadow slowly started to melt, so I don't think the picture you're referring to has been photoshopped.
If you look at the video on this DM article entitled "Meghan Markle and Prince Harry beam at Endeavour Fund Award"... (I think it's the 7th one down) at around the 2:00 mark, you can see how smudged and messy it's already starting to look, so it would only have got worse with time.

Agree with the rest of what you stated.

I dont want to comment too much on Meg's looks, but why would you wear a tight dress when you have her shape? I'll just leave it at that. All people should know how to dress to fit their shape. Sure, the heavy-set person can wear spandex if they want, but it might not be a great choice.

lol at that National Enquirer cover that someone referenced above. The Enquirer does get some real scoops at times.

Harkles are in their last audition now, for their non-royal grift. They're trying so hard. It's like the South Africa trip version two. Unfortunately, it's far too late for most of the public. But their intended audience isn't the public, it's the super wealthy who could throw some table scraps to the Harkles.

Sad, but this is who they are.

I saw some article linked on LSA about how, supposedly, the Cambridges are not as "sexy" as the Sussexes. First, lol. Kate is far, far sexier than Meg. It's not close. Second, monarchs-to-be aren't Hollywood celebs. They aren't trying to be "sexy" or win in Instagram likes. That's the stuff of the Kardashian set, and now the Harkles set. Monarchs and monarchs-to-be are beyond that lowbrow stuff.
@Hikari,

"Meg offends women of all races in a deeply personal way, since she repudiates everything strong, independent, professionally successful women of character stand for and have worked for. Men see her as more benign or just a piece of a$$.'

Perfectly said!

Vince said…
As a straight male, I can tell you that I in no way see Meg as a "piece of a__." A POA is a woman who is sexy. Hot.

The way I see Meg starts with "s" and rhymes with drank and blank.

When Kate recently did some charity event and she wore black leggings and looked great, I was like "I want to see more pics of this." I have never, ever, ever had that reaction with Meg. And it has nothing to do with her ethnicity, either. There are some gorgeous, gorgeous women of mixed white/black heritage. Meg's just not one of them.
Fairy Crocodile said…
@Jocelyn

What I find more bizarre than her summer dress in the NT is what described as her "secret visit". What a pile of c**p. She is a patron of a national institution in a patronage given to her by the Queen. The whole point of the patronage is to increase visibility and donations.

This clock and dagger nonsense is so immature it makes me cringe. As if she went there to take part in drunk-n-drug party, not for an official long-planned visit. How un royal, un classy, un respectable.

Lesley, San Diego, 6 hours ago

It was all for the camera. She looked back to the photographers after they had passed them to make sure they got another picture. But she couldn't bring her son to see his grandparents and great-grandparents. She didn't want interest in Archie to eclipse her triumphant return.

DuchessofCray says: Lastly, In our neck of the woods, northern California, I don't know that most of us are concerned with getting the virus, so much as we are concerned about the prospect of the quarantine. The fact that it is so contagious and seems to suddenly pp up in random places does not help. But two weeks of unexpected quarantine, when nobody is going to want to get near you is a tough thing to prepare for. There doesn't seem to be a siege mentality yet, but I am expecting it.

Yes, indeed. If nothing else, the people that prep ahead of need will not be in the grocery stores fighting for limited supplies and those supplies that were purchased ahead of time will already have been replaced.

I would say that if you have a life-threatening illness such as insulin-dependent diabetes or asthma or need a heart regulating medication, get at least a 3-month supply now. (I've heard that there are some spot shortages of asthma meds and that scares the stuffing out of me.) I really did expect this virus to die down over the summer, except that it is more summery here in Florida now than it will ever get in parts of Europe and we have positives.

It isn't just you (grin) but, alas, I must look at him with an indulgent motherly glance as he's the same generation as my children.
@Fairly Croc,

I agree. All of these guerrilla marketing stops to charities and the NT is the work of a woman with a juvenile mind. Do these people have the time to just drop everything when she decides to show up? It's very rude. And, to not appear to be rude back, they are then obliged to find something good to say about her. She knows this and takes advantage of it.

I wish one of them would say, "Sorry, we're just too busy to accommodate a surprise visit right now," and send her on her way.

That's so funny Swampy! LOL. After reading about the vodka, I was going to suggest using Everclear, you know, that almost full bottle in the back of the liquor cabinet? I don't drink anymore, but still make sure to have a bottle of Everclear cuz ya never know. Might need it to disinfect or start the BBQ.
@SwampWoman,

Haha! You're a better woman than me! I'm old enough to be his grandparent, but we older women can still appreciate a good-looking man from afar. Just don't approach!
SwampWoman said…
Re MM's eye makeup running....perhaps it is due to oily skin? I thought that her makeup artist would have powdered the eyelid to keep that from happening. My makeup wearing days came to an end when I moved to Florida because with the humidity and sweat (dew?), I end up looking like a raccoon no matter what I do.

I think she was going for the Bollywood smokey eye which is quite attractive unless it doesn't stay where it should; then it looks more like roller derby loser.

Jocelyns: I also find William attractive, partly based on his physique and partly on what appears to be a pleasant personality.

Fair enough, Hikari, but, in that case, who is the `Hairy' with the manly hands, as opposed to Hairy with the Count Orlok hands? I've been going through as many online photos as I can face to try and work it out.

If we know about smudge proof mascaras (Japanese ones are amazing, they stay on whatever you throw at them) why the dear duchess doesn't? Reportedly she has access to great makeup artists and she is a former actress, so unless she was comatose on filming locations she should have learned a thing or two about make up and it's behavior.

No, that's her sloppiness in details that I find so puzzling. It is almost as if her brain is not functioning properly and it shows in small things. Perhaps the rumors about her drug addiction are not exaggerated.

I agree, William is hot! A real alpha male which I adore! Don't give me any beta boys. DC is a lucky woman.

SO and I disagree about MM's looks. I do find her attractive, but he does not. He said she looks too manly, and he is usually attracted to ethnic women.

If only she were not a malignant narc biatch who separated Harry from his family, maybe I could even like her. But then she pushes her woke bs and most importantly she has been mean to the Queen. I find that totally unforgivable. I can only imagine how the Brits feel about this. A narc never changes. They suck the life out of you and many never recover. I'm still in therapy and my narc mom is going strong. She has become meaner with age. They are impenetrable.
@Fairy Croc,

We've found MMs "tell." She sweats when he's nervous, like with the copper/brown outfit. I think the eye shadow smearing is from sweating. That fabulous, blubbering makeup artist she had flown in should have taken care of that easily enough, though.

NeutralObserver said…
I checked out the pic of the Harkles under an umbrella in the rain to see if it was taken by one of Megs' go to paps like Splash or BackGrid. It was taken by someone from something called WireImage, which specializes in celebrity snaps.

To me she looks matronly, not svelte. Her very thin lower legs make her like an inverted block of cheese on two toothpicks. She seems to have lost quite a bit of weight. Women with small frames show much more dramatic body changes with any weight gains of losses. Maybe she can be a Weight Watchers spokesperson, like Oprah.

I'm not surprised that she returned to the UK, & cleaned up her act. She needs some new photos to replace the pitstain pics & the disastrous plane exiting photos taken in the US, where she looked like a middle aged woman trying to relive her drunken college years. Town & Country, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, etc. might not be very eager to print her little pr puff pieces if those were all the recent photos of her out there.

There has been some speculation that Harry has gotten hair implants. On another blog they called it 'Harry's Revenge hair.'
Now teeth are being mentioned. 'Revenge teeth?"

I have to agree with Nutty that Megs won't have a political career. The Republicans are comfortable with nominating actors & celebrities, like George Murphy, Ronald Reagan, even the Bonos. Democrats like people with at least reasonably impressive CVs. The Republicans would never accept Megs as a candidate & would shred her if the Dems did. She seemed to find the rather light schedule of meet-and-greets she did as a royal off putting. A candidate for any major office has to do that for weeks on end, with 20-hour days, meeting the plebs, eating awful food, ( Former presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar once had to eat
her lunch with a comb!), buttering up donors. Megs is shameless & tough, but she's not disciplined enough for that.

This blog makes me want to slap all of the men who've claimed that women can't be funny. I laughed out loud several times reading today.

@Ziggy points out that Google says 56,000 people die of the flu each year, so maybe we're over-panicking about C-19, or whatever they're calling it now, as it hasn't reached nearly that level yet.The 'authorities' have not been convincing in their efforts reassure the public, or convince the public of their ability to handle it, & that's not good. What's interesting are the economic effects. It's exposed how dependent we are on foreign supply chains. That may be more damaging than the virus
itself. In any case, everybody take care of yourselves! Rubbing alcohol, vodka & chocolate all sound good!
Teasmade said…
@KnitWit: Ohhhhh . . . that would explain a LOT, wouldn't it! (That photo is painful, by the way.) So I think we need some later photos to see if they keep it up during her daytime and other, less formal visits where less makeup would be expected.

Hunh. I never thought of that, mostly because I thought of eyelid surgery as something somebody my generation, or maybe even a decade older, would be doing. The only way I would get it done is if the eyelids are drooping enough to impair my vision and I'm such a chicken that I would probably be driving along with scotch tape holding my eyelids up.
@Portcitygirl,

I know just how dangerous narcs can be. One of them, a woman, wanted my husband, and she looked at me as a threat to her end goal. She tried every bnasty trick in the book including the does eyes and outright sabotage. One day, she emailed me one day that she would love for her and me to meet in the woods while she 'practiced shooting her gun." Obviously, we know how that would end for me.

My husband and I went full no contact and eventually moved to get away from her.

I hope you find good results through therapy. Wishing you the best.

@WalkHumbly, "@Nutty I just saw a clip of Ainsley Earhardt, anchor/personality on a morning news segment. She's wearing a well fitted, pink shift dress, very similar to the one MM wore last night. I remembered your description of MM's dress, and you were spot on! However, Ainsley wore a matching tie belt with hers, which looked great.

[hunter spends 45 mins shopping sheath dresses on Amazon...] Yes, Ainsley's dress seemed to fit more appropriately. Now I've gone down the boghole of sheath dress shopping yikes. Had to abort mission.
Fairy Crocodile said…
@Portcitygirl.

I am very sorry to hear about your experience with a narc. But please do not think they are impenetrable. They are vulnerable to ridicule. If you laugh at them they will bruise. If you take them seriously they will feed on it.

Also cutting them off works wonders. Total communications blackout does the job.

There are plenty advice sites on how to drop the narc. "“The best thing you can do is cut ties. Offer them no explanation. Offer no second chance. Break up with them and offer no second, third, or fourth chance,”

If Harry doesn't shake her off he is finished, because he doesn't have strength or integrity. He will end up in mental hospital or worse.

Well - if the hand question is on point, they did say Fake Harry had a thicker head of hair, but they also said she was far less physically affectionate with him (adjusts tin foil hat), everyone has certainly been mentioning his new veneers which is also curious.

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC @FAIRY CROCODILE

To all concerned about Coronavirus

If we are destined to end up next to the virus carrier everything will depend on our own immune system. If it is good we may end up ill but will cope with it. Meanwhile there are ways to give boost to your immune system. Many natural substances are scientifically proven to boost immune response. Look it up, choose what works for you.

Nutty doesn't like us sharing folk remedies on her site 😢 and I apologize if I overstep. When I mentioned grapefruit seed extract I was referring to research behind it. It has a very strong anti-viral component potent enough to tackle even the flu virus. There is a large report about it available online. Oregano oil is recently confirmed to have similar anti-viral properties.

My mother as doctor with many years of experience confirmed though 100% medical grade alcohol is the best option to kill nasty viruses, if it is not available vodka can do the job. Her colleagues faced situations when needed to do emergency surgery outdoors and the only sanitizer was high proof alcoholic drinks. Simply poured it on their hands. Did the job. So if you can't wash your hands right away alcohol will help.

The most sensible approach is to avoid crowds and wear face masks if you can't avoid restricted spaces. They will not stop the virus but they will stop the droplets, and it may give you just about enough time to discard the mask before the virus gets in touch with your skin.

Stay healthy dear Nuttiers, remember "This too shall pass".


I like the idea of chomping down on a clove or two of raw garlic daily which is supposed to be good for the immune system. I'm pretty sure that nobody will come within 8 feet of me if I do. Wine is supposed to be good for the immune system, too, as well as vitamin D (sunshine) and turmeric. I suppose we shall have to see how India does with the virus first before I start sunbathing nekkid at the beach while chewing raw garlic, eating curry, and drinking wine.
@ hunter,

Kate is a lucky woman to have hunky, alpha male William, and he's a lucky man. She is beautiful, a wonderful mother and dresses appropriately. Never a foot out of step. They make a great couple, and their mutual respect and ability to have fun makes them even better. I love watching her with children and playing sports. She's always up for trying something new,
and even if she fails, she can laugh at herself. MM lacks those qualities.

@PortCityGirl

I can tell you this, regarding your SO and how Meg looks: If you asked 100 guys if they think Meg is hot, the number is going to be quite low.

Again, not saying this to disparage Meg or just make things about looks. I'm saying this because the media has this ridiculous representation of Meg as like some kind of sex goddess. She's not; men just aren't that into her. I could go over the reasons why that is, but it is. Kate is WAY hotter than Meg. Which is why the media's attempt to say Meg is hotter is so annoying. Basically no straight male would agree with the media or the sugars on this.
NeutralObserver said…
When I said Megs looked 'matronly' in my earlier comment, I didn't mean to imply that matronly isn't a good look, but I think women should own it, like the queen, the Duchess of Cambridge, & Princess Anne. I admire them for not pretending to be something they're not. They still manage to look good, even regal. I hope people will let Catherine age without eviscerating her. There are already people claiming that she uses Botox. Her animated expressions while hurling in Ireland would don't support that at all. Her forehead wrinkles like any normal person's would. She's still a lovely woman.

One of my friends' husbands is a French count, he once said of another mother at our children' s school, 'She's like an old whore who can't give it up.' That's what Megs is turning into.
Fairy Crocodile said…
@KnitWit

I know! How old you have to be mentally to think this is a witty remark? Compare it with William's comment at the pub his grandmother visited in Ireland "Ladies and Gentlemen, it is not often you can say you follow your grandmother's footsteps into a pub" or something very similar. Now THAT was witty and funny.
Miggy said…
Apologies if this has already been posted.

From sparkling welcome to stormy goodbye: JAN MOIR was there cheering at Meghan’s first ever walkabout, and now, as the couple quit Britain, she gives her take on their troubled three-year journey.


Yesterday I watched a preview of a new documentary about the Duchess of Sussex with mounting horror. Escaping The Crown has been made by American cable channel Vice and premieres in the U.S. on March 10, before being shown on a Virgin channel here.

During the 60-minute special, ‘palace insiders’ — including Left- wing commentators such as Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and Ash Sarkar — fall over themselves to tell of the ‘tsunami of hate’ and ‘widespread abuse’ that have apparently dogged the Duchess since she first set a dainty foot on British soil.

‘I don’t know how you stay mentally resilient in the face of that onslaught, knowing that your in-laws are unsupportive,’ said Sarkar, while Miss Alibhai-Brown ventured the following: ‘I don’t think Meghan could have known she was entering a country which wasn’t necessarily going to accept her, and a family that is so dysfunctional. I think Britain thought it was ready to embrace a mixed race duchess — but it wasn’t.’

Of course, that is simply not true — but it is now the victim narrative Harry and Meghan will seed into their new lives in America, the tale they will spin into solid gold in interviews, in print and on coast-to-coast television shows fronted by new friends such as Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey.

Brace yourselves for repeat performances of this tale of woe, featuring an embattled Cinderella and her noble prince, heroically escaping the wickedness of an Old World apparently entrenched in prejudice and flecked with spite, as they strike out for the sunlit uplands and a ravishing waterside mansion in Canada.

I've been wondering about the "come on Harry" in reference to the song "come on Eileen". None of it was familiar to me but i just saw it discussed on the new Harry Markle post. here is the jist of it and now it makes sense to me:

It was ‘Come on Harry (Eileen)’ a song by Dexys Midnight Runners, a hit back in 1982. What do the lyrics mean though, and why did they decide to chant that song? It’s open to interpretation, but rather than read into the lyrics, watch the original video where it’s clear it’s a song that mocks a girl who has grown up and who has forgotten her roots, and later there is a ‘mob’ mentality crying out for her to ‘get real’ hence the ‘come on’ chant. It’s a working class song that was very popular in the day for people to remember where they came from when they get too big for their boots, or if they move out of their council house into a posh one. Around the time it was the ‘yuppie’ era and many working class people were able to better themselves, and some managed to buy their council houses too. Thus the song has many social connotations, and was a theme for many of the working class people to remind others to stay grounded. Perhaps that’s the message they were chanting to Harry, as in ‘don’t forget where you came from and who has funded you’ because he does need reminding. That’s my take on it, but you’d have to ask those who chanted why they chose that song.

Heavy eye makeup to cover surgery. Hmm, I'll have to go back and look closely. I will admit to upper and lower eyes done. I will say that there was a time right after where I was not allowed to wear makeup while it was all healing.

OT: eye shadows. Someone mentioned disappearing eye shadow. I recommend Lidstar by Glossier. A couple of the colors were out of stock but should be back soon. They have another new eye product but I have no experience.

I should have posted a few more snippets from what is an excellent article!

EG: Meanwhile, how soon can it be before there are magazine spreads featuring multiple photographs of baby Archie? It can’t have escaped the Sussexes’ attention that Brad and Angelina got more than £3 million for pictures of their children. And that images of their son, a symbol of love in a time of trouble, will be worth an awful lot more.

Kate IS hot. She is. She's tall, long legs, nice shape, great smile and face, classy. I'm not saying she is a bombshell, but she's hot. I think most men would agree with me on that. Again, she is far prettier than Meg is.

Also, as you said, Kate is the whole package. She's nice. She's kind. She's not a narc. Seems like a good mom. Down to earth. And so on.

Will and Kate are a great match. I agree with the people saying Will looks good. Will is comfortable in his own skin. Masculine but kind, not trying to be a tough guy. Tall. Great smile. Fit. Also, Will handles his business. He shut down Meg fast, as he should have. Alpha guy.

Is This the REAL THING THIS TIME? or is this just stringing people along?

Recently there was (yet another) post somewhere out in the world about how they will soon divorce.  And my first thought was: Haven't I heard this before?  which moved quickly to: how many times have I heard this (through the years)? There were a number of questions raised which ... I don't know.  I'm not a lawyer.  One of the points which has been raised is that KC would somehow be shelling out beaucoup money to get her to go "away".  That he has all this money stashed away and can pull it out at a moment's notice.  But does he? He inherited a lot of "stuff" from his mother but ... isn't it a lot of tangible stuff like properties? and with that staff to maintain it and insurance.  Inside said properties is art, antique furniture and other "old stuff" which may be valuable" but ... that kind of thing is subject to the whims and bank accounts of the rarified people who may be interested in it (which is not most of us in terms of bei

A Quiet Interlude

 Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event?   Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th?  Oscar's - March 10th?   In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US.  The IRS just never goes away.  Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on).  There's always another one.  Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California.   That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales.   Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere.  But.  The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.  

Christmas is Coming

 The recent post which does mention that the information is speculative and the response got me thinking. It was the one about having them be present at Christmas but must produce the kids. Interesting thought, isn't it? Would they show?  What would we see?  Would there now be photos from the rota?   We often hear of just some rando meeting of rando strangers.  It's odd, isn't it that random strangers just happen to recognize her/them and they have a whole conversation.  Most recently it was from some stranger who raved in some video (link not supplied in the article) that they met and talked and listened to HW talk about her daughter.  There was the requisite comment about HW of how she is/was so kind).  If people are kind, does the world need strangers to tell us (are we that kind of stupid?) or can we come to that conclusion by seeing their kindness in action?  Service. They seem to always be talking about their kids, parenthood and yet, they never seem to have the kids
