The New Yorker - which, for non-US readers, is seen by many as the journal of America's educated elite - took on the Meg and Harry story today with a story entitled "Prince Harry and Meghan's Fractured Fairy Tale."
The story is currently at the top of the New Yorker's "most read" list.
It is somewhat sympathetic to the Sussexes:
According to royal experts, the only approximate modern precursor to Megxit—the term that was inevitably coined for the Sussexes’ departure—was the abdication crisis of 1936. Then, King Edward VIII stepped down from the throne in order to marry the twice-divorced Wallis Simpson, of Baltimore, Maryland; he became the Duke of Windsor and retreated into a long exile of decadent mooching, in France and elsewhere....Harry’s retirement from the family business does not affect the succession. It has, however, inspired a collective reckoning, for which the British public has been especially primed by three seasons of “The Crown,” in which the soul-crushing nature of the institution has been amply depicted. How bad must being an H.R.H. be in order to make someone want to quit?
The story is long, and covers many of the usual bases of the Meghan story - even Princess Michael's blackamoor brooch makes an appearance, as does the notorious "Straight out of Compton" headline.
Less flattering details, however, are absent - such as the excessive spending on clothing, the constant staff turnover, the mystery surrounding Archie and the "Nobody asks if I'm OK" interview.

I was about 8 years old, but put it together years later when I read somewhere that Wayne and his buddies liked young boys. That's what the "fishing trips" were for. Privacy, and far away from home.

I know. I thought about not posting this, but people should know about who they hold in high regard. It just turns my stomach to think of it.
I will never know you in real life, but I want you to know that I thank you and I honor you from the bottom of my heart. You are a wonderful person.
Thank you. Now I want to cry.
Mmm. Same here.
I think Harry is going off the rails.
Of course, Wallis always referred to David as `The Dook'.
I gather that here in the UK, in aristocratic circles, there are conventions about this:
A countess, when talking to a servant, will refer to `the Earl'; to a person of equivalent rank it's `my husband' and to family, she'll use his name.
Among the lower orders, as in my more remote family, I tells you a great deal about how a family gets on with each other. My cousin, when talking to me, refers to her sister as `my sister', as if I were an outsider,- I think it's really because there's not a lot of love lost between them,rather than her seeing me as her social inferior - but perhaps she does?
Then, my when husband's nephew got married in 2007, in St Andrews, brother John made it very clear that we should expect any home hospitality from them (not so much as a cup of tea after a journey of 500 miles!) as they had a `houseful of family'.
What family, we wondered? Who don't we know about?
His wife has no brothers or sisters and they had one daughter apart from their son, the groom. Anyway, we'd already booked accommodation elsewhere. As it turned out, we discovered that not even son & daughter were home that night - we stopped at a crossing in the nearby town for a group of youngsters, one of whom recognised our car- it was the groom and he gave the game away.
There's a joke in Scotland - In Glasgow, they say `have some tea'; in Edinburgh it's `you'll have had your tea...' Strangely, it's my husband who comes form Edinburgh, the other 2 were born in Glasgow. (The divide in Scotland is East-West.)
Be sure your lies will find you out.
Lemon Tea here
Agree with most of the comments.
I see a connection with Elton John here as well. Did he not set up an AIDS foundation many years ago ?
Good day
Thinking about what seems off about the video of them delivering food?
Why AP? maybe she is trying for a Housewifes slot? (I don't watch any of them so the names of the people mentioned mean nothing to me).
Same shirt - yeah, it could be that it makes it easier to blend into the background, be convinced this is your color or is it easier to fit a JH double?
Harry Double - that would explain the lack of PDA on her part. The body language between them is more like acquaintance level, not people madly in love and need to leave the BRF who clearly are against such a pure love. It would also explain the facial differences (skin tone, etc).
Yeah, real security people don't carry your purse, groceries or anything you just purchased so they can react. Too much distance between them and besides, this is all about how they just like normal doers of good deeds. Security in the photos would ruin that look. And this is about the look.
No explanation as to why they could do so few compared to the "normal" route.
Yes, we need doers of good deeds. Absolutely. It's when it is more about the show of my doing this than it is about actually doing it that takes the edge of the niceness of the action. I have more respect for people who do the good thing but don't feel a need to let the world know they actually did something nice.

I seldom look at the online version of the New Yorker, which seems to have completely different content & seems to be mostly short pieces aimed at woke millennials, mostly because I can't be bothered to log in, & I don't like having my reading habits monitored. I don't understand their business model, as the online New Yorker has almost no ads on my browser. Maybe if my browser settings were different, I'd see more ads. The print version still does long well researched articles on interesting topics. The New Yorker used to be a well written mix of straight reporting, a bit of gossip, a lot of humor, art criticism, with a bit of fiction & poetry thrown in. People don't have the time of interest for that anymore. Please delete if too off-topic, Nutty.
I get what you are trying to say, Re- Eltons aids foundation. But there's a huge difference here... It's at the core of all criticism about the Harkles found dation dreams.
Eltons foundation has been around for a few years now. It has done some amazing work in this field. And continues to do so. It's also more credible because that is something EJ is passionate about, has talked about for years and worked towards. He has his work, his music his crazy lifestyle etc etc and this foundation is his one way of giving back. Also he made a shit ton of money doing actual.work before he started this foundation , with his own money.
With the Sussexes however ... They do not have the kind of seed money that a foundation needs. Actual charity begins at home. So first they should earn their many millions and then start a foundation. Otherwise they are basically asking g for money, so that's like getting investors?? So that's not really a charity is it?? If we are being really polite we can call it a social enterprise. But that's not charity work. That's a real business.
Then there's the thing about what do they want to work on?? They throw around words like feminiy, woman empowerment,.climate change but at the end of the day all.Meghan has actually done is oggled at cakes at the luminaribakery and tasted some curry made at the Hubbs kitchen.
I just don't get this divide between their actions and supposed intentions. They said they separated because they wanted to outside financial Independence. Fine. You want to earn more money. Then why insert this foundation shenanigan here now. Earn money, die trying whatever. Then give to charity. Meanwhile sit tight, the world will start moving again in a few weeks and you can go back to hustling.
With all the stunts they have pulled noone is going to forget them in a month.
"Forgot to add: the Harry video, does anyone else think his face looks very smooth and shiny? My first reaction was to wonder if he'd had some work done, although I'm not anywhere near knowledgeable on things like that so I could be totally wrong."
--------
Hadn't noticed, but I will tell you that if he did have work done, I'd have a hard time believing it was done in LA. I'm in LA, and we are good friends with several well-known plastic surgeons and others that offer aesthetic services. No one is open, up and running, or even offering "hush hush" garage/basement injections/facials/treatments.
Maybe JH has been so bored and restless he did one of those pre-packaged facial masks? LOL.

(I had to load some of the pics in a separate window to see them.)
The 'old' Harry would have had the connections, the financing and the right team to put together a project that would have really made a difference in the UK during the time of the virus, and it would fit in and support what the other royals are doing. Instead, he is chatting up people in the UK via an online link while seated in a laundry room (LOL) but has no way to get actual support to them, tagging along (without the appropriate PPE) while Meghan delivers meals for some charity in LA that she has never had a connection to, and just seems so lost, petulant and diminished.
Meghan is a hustler. She will find a way (i.e. a man) to get to the top of the pile again. She even found a way to do a pap walk in times of lockdown!
So, that about sums it up for Americans. That's what we are still caught up on. And that will carry some weight here, sadly. We are still blinded by the myth of Diana, so much so that we as a general public will be thrilled to have Harry here. Even though I still stand by my comments of "no one cares about Meg,." They don't. And LA is so full of celebrities - my kids go to school with their offspring and are coached by celebrity dads in Little League; we don't even bat an eye.
But I concur with a previous poster - this is a PR win for the Dumbartons. barf.
Apologies to the grammar police if that was a run on sentence. Idk, idc
Meghan Markle backs Grenfell surivors' project to help Londoners: Duchess praises 'moving' efforts to supply meals to those in need on video call with Hubb Community Kitchen.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8229601/Meghan-Markle-backs-Grenfell-surivors-project-help-Londoners.html
The comments are brutal but on point ...
What is she saying here:
Meghan said during the call: 'You all had it in you and what was so great is after that first day and then however many visits later, and going "yeah we’re just going to make a book", and not realising, knowing and having a lot of faith in what you guys could bring to the table, and what you could inspire but obviously not knowing what a huge success it was going to be.
And how is Meghan appearing to sprout a lot of word salad a help at all?
The Hubb Community Kitchen meals will be made with the support of the Felix Project, which sources surplus food from cafés, restaurants and supermarkets. It is backed by the Evening Standard's Food For Now campaign.
Funding and a support network are all sorted without any intervention from Meghan, so she is just hijacking other peoples' work to make an appearance?
Ouch!
How many times people have to say to her that they don't like her? Well we know some people - Wills, Kate, Cam, Queen, UK taxpayers, Harry's friends,Ninaki, Trev, Cory, her Dad, his family, her family (the.list is loooooo !) - HAVE said in one way or the other. And have been promptly ghosted. So it's not that people dont say it. She just doesn't know how to deal with it.
That's the number one reason that she keeps hammering this same old shit down our throats because she just wants to be liked and revered so much.
pitiful PR ratings. There is a very good and wise decision that the rest of the family is only doing video conferences.
Imo, it was completely staged for ratings. Seems to be working with the you tube crowd, but most news is negative that I've read.
This is just a boring bringy lesson in how not to handle a break-up.
Thinking about what seems off about the video of them delivering food?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I agree, for some reason this feels like an audition for a reality show or talk show. Maybe they want to host a talk show?
Reddit had a post on this and it was pretty favorable to Harry. Meghan was not really mentioned. Most of reddit's posters are college educated white males under 35 from the US.
Diana was mentioned as much or more than Meghan.
MM and H must be so pleased that there were CCTVs recording their visit.
"The whole world will know how hard we worked today. We were on the front lines not like the cold, distant Royals in the UK behind their palaces."
Sadly I think there will be some that buy that blatant PR stunt.
I do have my doubts about "Harry". There is something off about his walk, his body....hmmm can't quite put my finger on it. There were photos in the infamous pub visit and the private plane in France with a "Harry" double.
This body double only has one pair of Harry clothes!
I mean come on. Meg's always wearing these same lame white button down boyfriend shirts. She could just send him a fresh, clean shirt but No. Not our Megs.
She’s a hustler who likes hustling. She’ll hustle and keep on using her past credentials till the end of life. Doesn’t matter if Disney worked with her only once, doesn’t matter if Beyonce hugged and called her “my princess” only once, doesn’t matter if she met Obama and Trudeau only once, doesn’t matter if she met Archbishop Tutu only once, she’ll be milking these “appearances” till the end of infinity.
It's made by https://web-tarot.tumblr.com/
She does occasional tarot readings as well.
Yeah well.she seems to have met Prince Phillip only once yet she is a self proclaimed Greek scholar now, isn't she?! 😏
They have retained their Sussex Royal websities. https://sussexroyal.com/monarchy/
They are ready to swing back into action any time. I see M$H getting their Sussex Royal Foundation back into business. Plus making an all out merching effort under the Sussex Royal name. Archie baby clothing and so on. They will not care anymore what The Queen and Charles have to say because the Dumbartons are running low on cash.
That word salad needs some ranch dressing.
Hijacking the work of others and claiming credit for it appears to literally be her specialty.
Pure speculation and imaginative storytelling on my part ...
Megsy used her connections to hustle a pap walk via this organisation. Harry wants to tag along. She finally agrees (how bad did the fighting get before that happened?) and off they go to the headquarters of the charity. Megsy had already arranged PPE for herself, so what to do about Harry? He uses a bandana to cover his mouth and nose (but not very successfully) and tore and broke the one glove that she gave him (we can each wear one and only use that hand, but boy did she give him hell because of that). The organisation lets them go forth and do a few deliveries even though they are breaking their own rules and they are both now not suitably attired (Meghan only has one glove) because they are a Duke and Duchess and they have a connection who wants to make this happen for them. But, the organisation must find a way to use this 'appearance' to get attention and hopefully more donations (foolishly thinking all publicity is good publicity) and Meghan has a plan to use surveillance cameras and Backgrid to get her the pap shots she wants. Harry does not know about this part of the deal...
Why is the apartment security footage released so quickly to media outlets? Such footages are almost always released either for the public safety purposes (to help snag a criminal) or the property owner has an interesting story to tell (like that cat who chased away a neighbor's attacking pitfall). The building manager must have gotten some $$$ for participating in the coordinated publicity stunt. You don't usually release security cam footage unless you're asked by the police to do so or there's some disclosure involved. For the footage to be released yesterday, do you really think the Sussexes didn't sign off on it? With Meghan being a paranoid control freak about certain aspects of her life, you don't think if she didn't want footage released, that the footage and story would've been publicized on that level? Hell. To. The. No.
The footage was shaky because someone filmed it off of a monitor. But why do that unless you know you were expecting some fame whore VIPs out for delivery?
Also, PAF's director Richard Ayoub claims that the Sussexes did not intend for their charitable acts to be publicized and that he was the one who went ahead and did it anyways. Sounds like the Sussexes found themselves a stooge who's a fame whore himself. Has he talked to Meghan yet, is she livid from her privacy so intruded upon by the security cam footage?
Sorry but the sentence in my last post should have read "neighbor's attacking pit bull" in reference to the pet cat which gained worldwide attention for saving the life of a little boy being dragged away by the neighbor's pit bull.

@Sandie
They are just the strangest couple to watch interact. Whatever's going on with them is just not normal.
Yep ... bet Megsy has been practising in front of the mirror, often. She has prepared so much word salad for her moment 'on the stand'!
Does anyone know what happens at a preliminary hearing?
Do you think the remote nature of the trial will help or hinder Megsy's case?
I bet Meghan is very happy that she will not be required to risk being in the same room as her father, but she can be pretty thick-skinned about stuff like that so I am sure she had prepared an appearance similar to her last in the UK.
@Platypus: Did you see on Charlatan Duchess that it is reported that a preliminary hearing on Meghan’s lawsuit against the papers re: letter written to her father will be done remotely on the 24th of this month?

Hi Sandie,
Preliminary hearings are fairly perfunctory -- witnesses are not usually required to attend.
Frankly, I am surprised that Markle has allowed this idiotic lawsuit to proceed at all, altho' guessing she has *issues* with Dad that drive her forward. (And her own lame self.)
Their look is off in some way that I can't put my finger on
My sidekick was wondering about them too because in a few frames, Harry is walking ahead of MM. ergo: lookalikes
@Nutty
I understand that these "clipping"services keep track of mentions, but do they go one step further and report to the client the context of the mentions? i.e. a gazillion comments on DM, 100% negative?
And MM needs to look up the definition of philanthropy and stop using it in relation to herself and Harry.
Perhaps this is why they are living in a “VERY private gated community.”
Would be laughable if this is, as the tweet says, a leak came from one of the RPOs. Charles is likely paying for their security but Harry and Meghan are probably still abusing their security team by sending them out for coffee and take-out from the local vegan organic restaurant.

HA HA HA HA HA, can't stop laughing!!
Wow, these two!
My miserable life, such as it is, is nothing compared to the Harkles, LOL
It was reported some time ago that the Dismal Duo had had second thoughts about their legal actions & wanted to drop the cases after all but the Murdoch group said `Hell no! We're ready for her and want our day in Court' or words to that effect.
They, and the whole of Britain, have been vilified by H$M and they're not being allowed to wriggle out of it now. They may just have got an inkling that they haven't a leg to stand on and may be shredded in court, especially if whatever's been holding the press back is removed in view of it being brought to court.
`Let slip the dogs of war!', I say `Bring it on!
It'd be a shame if it's all held in camera - I'll be so disappointed.
I meant Duke or Earl, in bit about how aristos refer to spouses - sorry.
-Celt News has a good video blowing apart the food delivery scam. Her agency etc was involved- the cars have been identified.
-Meghan's Mirror tells us exactly what she was wearing
-Him being in front of her - good point.
Also, do any of the photos show her looking into the camera? I don't recall any. If that is her, that's abnormal behaviour.
Were the doubles just taking the money without bothering to check body language - or was it an attempt to subvert the whole thing by letting us know they were fake?
Good for establishing her separate profile, I suppose, but their location in the UK is a disadvantage for her.
I have to wonder if the clarity and fast surfacing of the security camera footage is due to the “security camera” being the camera of a conveniently-perched member of their security team shooting the video.
@Nutty

Yes, social media monitors can give you a figure on this, as well as a volume - ie, is it just a few cranks, mostly bots with few followers, or real widespread social discussion. (A good example: I'm sure McDonald's is doing this right now re: the McDonald's in China that barred all Black customers. Is McDonald's as a corporation being blamed, or local officials? The story is apparently big in Africa.)
In addition, they can check for certain keywords that come up in social media posts, ie McDonald's is probably searching "Africans" "China" "racist" etc. to distinguish those posts from some guy somewhere complaining about a lukewarm Big Mac.
I'm hitting the hay now. Would you all kindly do me a favor and not force me to spend the first 20 minutes of my Saturday morning deleting crazy comments? This is what I did with the first 20 minutes of my Friday morning.
Thank you so much!
To me, it looks like Meghan is both wearing sunglasses on her face, and has the ubiquitous pair hanging on her shirt.
What is that about?
I've found the body double theory a bit tin-foil, and the woman in the video has the same oddly shaped legs as Meghan, but...why TWO PAIRS OF SUNGLASSES??
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8230063/Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-walk-Beagle-Guy-Labrador-Oz.html
And 321... The pap walks begin.
Agree two pairs of sunglasses is quite odd. Only thing I can think of is product placement. Meghan's Mirror already knew the brand of the glasses so they had to show?
The story Dan where's my tiara Tyrell is telling is different in each publication. He's quoted in the DM as saying when he went to open the gate after getting a call his food was there he first saw the SUVs and bodyguards, knew something was up, then saw the couple and figured out who they were. He said the opposite in the WEHOville publication.
___________
Re: walking the dogs. In DM pics the lab looks to be pulling Harry's arm out of the socket (not as depressed looking as in Canada) and M has to eventually carry Guy, the beagle who looks fairly fat. And apparently they were driven to where they walked. So odd.
Sorry about that. :-)
The DM is saturated with articles about them today and I just KNEW there'd be another one before the day was over, so was keeping a look out.

Above is the proof that Megsy exploited another charity for her pap walk via surveillance cams.
I know! I hate their PR is ramping up. Hope it works against the greedy narcs.

Any of your scenarios fits the bill IMO WBBM, :)
*Fake* personae would be nothing to the Gruesome Twosome. People seem to think they would never stoop so low. Myself, I think they would stoop even lower. Especially having seen Harry looking so idiotic and stoned. As an Anglophile and someone who reveres the Royal Family, he is a complete and utter embarrassment. I would almost be glad to learn that these two were phoney personae, if that were the case.
about the dog walking paps
"Not sure if anyone's noted this, but the photographer who captured the California dog walking photos, Jeff Rayner, is the same photographer who snapped the staged photos of Thomas Markle in Mexico before the wedding. Coincidence? I think not."
Reply
"Yeah, he is also from the early days…..also, did many Doria pics"
Now that she’s returned and is stuck in the mud due to the pandemic, she is desperate for coverage. She’s calling Coleman-Rayner again to generate contrived attention in the media.
This is the same agency that contacted her dad to shoot the pre-wedding pix in Mexico. I think Meghan set Thomas up so she could feign outrage and dump him from the wedding. He wasn’t cool enough, not “brand Meghan” as she calls it. She always wanted a royal in the form of either Charles or William to walk her down the aisle. Not her dumpy old dad from Mexico.
I wonder if they know that people, well, know that that's what they're doing.
"Soho House furloughs majority of global workforce"
Oh DEAR kittens, what will this mean for our Duchess?
You may laugh, but her BFF could quite literally be out of a job.
Why do they need a car to walk the dogs? That's absurd unless they aren't in a Mega McMansion with a huge background that can give them all the privacy they want. That or these are staged pap shots.
I still wonder where Archie is? Who is that dude they weren't social distancing from?
H&M are so boring...
Also noticed she managed to find the camera again.
Wonder if they had an argument about whether to bring “Archie” along? Obviously MM lost that one :) I do think of JH wasn’t in the same country he would have appeared on a walk of some sort.
It looks like residential Los Feliz, Hollywood Hills area to me not Malibu. If they were fishing around Malibu for photo locations security patrol would intercede, I think. And again if this was a pap shot they would be followed and no one seems to being doing that which would be a big payday when nothing is going on in L.A. and celebs are staying at home. It's funny to see them in hiking masks, the medical masks weren't fashionable enough? And I wonder where they got the Porsche, very L.A. and very expensive.
I wonder if the bookies are taking bets whether or not she'll post Archie snaps on Louis' B-Day?
dog walk -
I can't tell exactly how far they really went.
That she "found" the camera speaks volumes - same o, same o compared to the food run where it was more like we are still backstage and haven't stepped into the spotlight yet.
Notice how close their car is the yellow hydrant. Don't think that's legal or a matter of camera angle.
So...Is that really JH in the photos?
It's the same mask as food delivery run where as her mask is different.
His clothes appear to be the same but his shoes are different while her clothes (top and bottom), shoes and hat are different than the food run.
Now, technically, I know that this "could " have happened on a different day (he has a lot of clothing duplicates) but unluckily was released the same day
or
something could have spilled which required different clothes/shoes/masks as needed
or ... it still looks and sounds hokey.
What struck me is that we don't get a lot of clear close up shots of JH yet again (we get some distance, masking), so this could still just be a "double" continuing the food run papping. We just don't see his face really. Ever. We see the externals (Diana bracelet but at a distance, golfy shirt, pants, some reddish hair at the right places) and ... not much else which says this really is JH (and you are delusional for suspecting the worst of them).
It raises more questions to me about validity of JH's existence in LA.
And did they really expect us to believe that they now drive a Kia? Puhleese. Only way they're driving a Kia is if they're getting paid to promote it, no way that's their only ride.
Kia, I looked at that photo too (how I happened to notice the fire hydrant possible fire code violation).
You see the Kia but behind it, there are the edges of the black Porsche SUV above it. That would be the black SUV that is mentioned in the security hanging back (ie, not where near if something were to happen to either of them).
Comments about her 'chicken legs; are about her, a human, not about the chickens. Just like comments about Harry being a 'jug head' are about Harry not jugs. Likewise comments about him being a 'pea brain' are not about peas being like Harry. Get it?
Meghan dresses for attention and yet none of her clothes fit her or look good on her because she always appear like someone playing a role. When someone chooses to present themselves that way and they're in the public eye trying to gain more fame, then they deserve this lack of style and body awareness being pointed out. Don't think Meghan choosing to wear tight white jeans wasn't unintentional.
Yes, drop the mike now! You killed it!
It is wonderful to have an LA forensics expert on this blog. Thanks for sharing.
As Meghan said her mother told her long ago: Never do anything for anyone without getting something in return.
Crumpet - do you know why that is thought now?
I was just thanking @Mel..., I do not live in the LA area!
I doubt that they are staying somewhere where they have no space to walk dogs unless they have been using security (or the nanny) to walk the dogs every day before the pap walk. (By the way, that is a very relaxed lockdown to be able to get in your car and drive somewhere, park the car and then walk the dogs along a pavement, get back in the car and drive home? No law enforcement to question them, or did the couple choose a location where they were unlikely to be rumbled by law enforcement?)
The publicity for the food deliveries: the photos were sold to at least two major media outlets (including DM, who Meghan is now going to battle with in court) but they were embargoed by the agency (the same one and the same photographer who took the photos of her father that caused the falling out) for 24 hours. Photos taken on Wednesday and embargoed until Thursday. Can anyone put together a timeline that would explain this?
Jeeze, ugh.
Right.
*shaking head*
Yes, makes sense that the photos --The publicity for the food deliveries: the photos were sold to at least two major media outlets (including DM, who Meghan is now going to battle with in court) but they were embargoed by the agency (the same one and the same photographer who took the photos of her father that caused the falling out) for 24 hours.

I doubt that they are staying in Oprah's property in Hollywood Hills as it has huge grounds with plenty of trees and lots of space to walk dogs. But, this was an arranged pap walk so they could very well be staying at Oprah's Place (really nice by the way), but no ... Oprah does NOT have that cabinetry in her house! However, I am sure that Oprah would approve of their pap walk because they need lots of money and to get it they need publicity. Lots of celebrities in LA (and elsewhere) use the paps for staged 'walks' to get publicity. It is unbelievably tacky for royalty but par for the course for anyone clawing their way up the ladder in celebrity world (very few get to be top earners through talent alone, and even the talented ones can have a project that bombs).

I'm with you. I'm quite surprised the lockdown over there is so relaxed. From everything I hear about the situation in California and esp LA, things seem pretty serious over there. So why isn't there anyone - authorities, police etc to stop/question them? Surely if the police isn't around, at least eyhuwnould know to take this lockdown seriously. Or like every other time riles just don't apply to them?
Two (possibly) 3 days in a row, doing stupid stuff. Not going for groceries, not a doctor's visit but DRIVING to a park for a walk.
My uncle has 3 dogs and he walks them.early in the morning between 4.45 and 6 these days and last week he was "caught" by the police for flouting the lockdown, taken to the police station and politely asked to spend the next 4 hours "thinking about what you doing". Sweet man that he is he spent the morning making tea for everyone and cleaning the floor and arranging their stationary. Lol ... 😂
I'm also thinking maybe it's their security guys who are taking these pictures. The walk.in the park as well as the dodgy AF phone camera video of the security footage. Lol that would be hilarious, and would also give the supposed new security team, that used to be Anjelina's security team, some extra excitement in these dire and boring times.
The Windsors (TV show) have nothing on this real life drama!
This desperate debacle in the past week makes me feel like the funds are really really running low and this is the only way left for them to merch and make money right now. Maybe a case of something better than nothing.
Meghan must have been really pissed everyone thought Harry was in the UK, she really brought out the big guns to this pap fight.
Off-the-rails, Episode 666
Hahahahaha Too right!!!
California is doing very well. Even the homeless outdoors with their fresh air and sunshine are doing well. Hospitals are barren. NYC? Yes a hot spot but even there hospitals are not jammed with Covid patients
I am sure traffic is up every day in LA. Reflecting that people are going back to work even if on the sly.
The Dumbarton PR surge reflects this going back to work attitude. Where the alleged authorities can kindly drop dead with their scare mongering.
And of course the illegal aliens and newly arrived, recent legal immigrants in CA never stopped. They are not listening to any lame ass jive from the Gavin Newsomes of the world about self isolating. The crops were picked in Cali's vast agricultural businesses and in urban areas they continued on in remodeling and construction. Restaurants open on the sly and for take out. I am positive all the ethnic supermarkets were jammed like they are where I live thousands of miles away. Near where Rod Stuart and extended family are playing the game called --- "Dodge the Covid and the idiot hack politicians who love it and use it for XYZ purposes"
Harry looks hopelessly shabby. He really can't dress himself without Edward Lane Fox around. Perhaps this grey shirt we see again and again was the absolute last thing ELF picked out before his retirement.
I agree that Meg's white jeans are not flattering. Although I have worn white jeans myself in the past, in this context they remind me of those old feminine protection ads, where ladies were pictured wearing white jeans or white tennis shorts because the product they were selling was so effective at "that time of the month."
We see one muscular fellow in black in some of the images. Is he supposedly the security man?
Harry is not looking good.
Meghan has not been good to him.
I wonder if the Harkle's security team might have arranged with the local police for them to be able to make that short walk in order to get some pap photos. Would the "Prince" be granted such a privilege in the middle of a pandemic lockdown?
OR
Their appearance also looked like it might have been a quick stop to let the dogs relieve themselves while they were on their way somewhere else. As others have stated it was a neighborhood - not a place to park and recreationally walk your dogs. It looked like they were parked too close to a fire hydrant and it was odd they let the dogs walk through what looked like planted areas.
I doubt they were en route somewhere. Where would they be going dressed like that and with the dogs? Isn't LA supposed to be in lockdown? It was an arranged pap walk and in a street where they could get away with getting out of the car to get the photos with the dogs. They used the dogs as their excuse for flouting lockdown rules (see, we are walking the dogs) and probably just assumed that they had special status that would allow them to get the publicity from delivering a few meals (see, we are doing essential volunteer work). This looks like typical Meghan hustle and rule breaking in order to do so.
Would they have that kind of influence with the authorities to get special permission to ignore lockdown rules and get papped while doing so? I doubt it. Surely authorities are too busy juggling decisions (health, economic, travel ...) to worry about two wannabe celebrities in a sea of celebrities?
I thin we are overthnking this. They have done two blatant pap walks in a few days (plus some video calls and a small donation of wedding money that was sitting on ice) to get publicity. That is what people in the celebrity culture of LA do. That is what Meghan has waited her whole life to do in her hometown.
They're going to have to up their game for the next round. Maybe they'll try that famous Tom Cruise concept, "Meghan and Harry help someone who is stranded by the side of the road."
As I recall, Cruise used to help a lot of people stranded by the side of the road just before he had various movies coming out.
Fortunately, they are in Los Angeles, where it would seem to be possible to make a long-term deal with a baby actor of the right age and coloring.
That could buy them a couple of years until it's time for preschool, when the other preschool parents would begin to notice that the child they know as Jaxxson or Elijah or Benjamin also appears in the newspapers as Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8231759/Pregnant-Sophie-Turner-hides-baby-bump-beneath-heavy-jacket-walk-husband-Joe-Jonas.html
The masks don't help the pricing. Because Meghan and Harry's faces aren't clear, the photos can't be reused much.
Think of how many times those South Africa images with Archie have been used - doesn't @SussexRoyal own the rights to them? Jackpot.
My guess is that they were hoping for a better photo deal, probably with a magazine, that never materialized.
Surely they couldn't be THAT triggered by the Cambs getting good press? Or did the tatler Anne cover piss them off? Or the millions of sugars fawning over them begging for a peekaboo set them off?
Or did they just need money any which way ain and simple? Anyone reasonable PR person would advise them against this. SS has faced a lot of flak for Ben Afflecks pap walk. So could it be that they had arranged for a pap walk, been paid already and now just had to do it?
It's not a flattering photo, I agree, except of the dog.
If Meg's gained some weight during this shutdown, she's not alone. In fact, it would almost make her sympathetic.
OT, but one of my male friends, no children, furloughed with full pay, just posted an image on Facebook showing how buff he's become over the past five weeks. That was not sympathetic, at least to my jealous eyes.
Meg needs PR like others need oxygen. I would imagine she also needs money to pay for more PR.
If they're living with Oprah or Doria, they don't have rent payments, and their food costs are probably not that far off the charts. I doubt they're paying for their own security yet.
There are several Royal Family events coming up, aren't there? Birthdays and such. Meg wants to make sure she isn't forgotten.
Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor would have never.
She would have had Cartier producing a lovely black velvet and jewel-encrusted mask exclusively for her.
Let's not forget that Gucci, Burberry, Givenchy have all announced they are making masks and PPE. So, Mm might be doing a pap walk in a designer mask very soon.
Maybe that's what she is going to give away as return gifts for Archie's bday. Lol
* Harry with dog, getting out of car and into car (the actual royalty, the British Prince)
* Meghan looking at the camera, getting in and out of car not holding the dog (was this the pic that Megsy chose because it was the most PC in terms of PPE?)
* Harry and Meghan walking together but Harry ahead of Meghan (Note that there is no PDA at all in the pics ... it will be interesting to see if that is back when and if they do another formal joint appearance.)
This pap walk was about publicity for Meghan. Harry happened to be there as well as she still needs him to open doors or maybe he gatecrashed again or maybe he finally joined the game as a co-conspirator (I still maintain that he gatecrashed the charity pap walk opportunities ... Meghan was going to do it alone hence there was one branded cap, one approved mask, one set of gloves and she was clearly in charge).
Harry probably didn't want to be there, either. He's never particularly pap-friendly when he's away from Meg.
I didn't know anything about Oprah's houses until today so everything above I've deduced from Google searches and noseying at maps. If anyone has any better information or ideas, feel free to correct anything I've put here :O)
Guy looks what my old dog's vet would have called `portly' - not a compliment. No indication that they took any water for the animals.
Moreover, the shadows are very short - no thought that it might be kinder to walk the animals at a cooler time of day. No, it's all about get good lighting, as her Daddy doubtless taught her.
`Mad dog's and Englishmen go out in the midday sun' - well, we've got an Englishman but the canines look sane
In tropical climes there are certain times of day
When all the citizens retire
To tear their clothes off and perspire
It's one of those rules that the greatest fools obey
Because the sun is much too sultry
And one must avoid its ultra violet ray...
The native grieve when the white
Men leave their huts, because
They're obviously definitely nuts!
Mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun
The Japanese don't care to
The Chinese wouldn't dare to
Hindoos and Argentines sleep
Firmly from twelve to one
But Englishmen detest a siesta
In the Philippines
There are lovely screens
To protect you from the glare
In the Malay States
There are hats like plates
Which the Britishers won't wear
At twelve noon the natives swoon
And no further work is done
But mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun
It's such a surprise for the Eastern eyes to see
That though the English are effete
They're quite impervious to heat
When the white man rides every native hides in glee
Because the simple creatures hope he
Will impale his solar topee on a tree...
It seems such a shame
When the English claim
The earth that they give rise to
Such hilarity and mirth
Mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun.
The toughest Burmese bandit
Can never understand it
In Rangoon the heat of noon
Is just what the natives shun
They put their Scotch or Rye down
And lie down in a jungle town
Where the sun beats down
To the rage of man and beast
The English garb
Of the English sahib
Merely gets a bit more creased
In Bangkok
At twelve o'clock
They foam at the mouth and run
Slut mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun
Mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun.
The smallest Malay rabbit
Deplores this stupid habit in Hongkong
They strike a gong and
Fire off a noonday gun
To reprimand each inmate
Who's in late
In the mangrove swamps
Where the python romps
There is peace from twelve till two
Even caribous
Lie around and snooze
For there's nothing else
To do in Bengal to move
At all is seldom, if ever done
But mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun
(Noel Coward - not me.)
Mad Megs and her Englishman
Go out for the front page “Sun”
Pre-Harry: Megsy sought out photographers, posed for them and grabbed any chance to talk as well. I have never known a person put herself out there so much and gain so little international attention and fame for it!
Post meeting Harry and deciding to capture him: Megsy would not actively avoid (she always made sure they got good shots) but did not pose nor look directly at the camera ... she was pap walking but pretending not to. If Harry was with her, she actively avoided the camera (head down, walking swiftly, even a hand up ...).
Post-marriage: Megsy was rarely seen out without Harry unless it was an official engagement. When she was photographed with Harry in private time, she was still pretending to avoid the camera but was more inclined to make sure the cameras got a good shot. When she was alone, she gladly posed to turn an unofficial appearance into a publicity opportunity or did not look directly at the camera but was definitely posing (remember the lunch with Jason?). On official engagements, she seeks out the camera, coat flicks, cradles bump, smirks ...
Post-Megxit: Meghan happily pap walks in Canada, making sure the paps get good shots and even looking directly at the camera. She is not seen with Harry post-Megxit outside of official appearances, and she only pap walks when Harry is out of town. An added arrogant swagger is added to how she presents herself on official engagements.
She is now in post-Megxit, pre post-Harry mode.
For the latest LA pap walk, there are actually at least 3 photos where Meghan is looking directly at the camera, but for two of them she has her sunglasses on. I think her and Harry are fighting about these pap walks, but she got what she needed: two front pages solo (no Harry for the cover pic). She wants a bit of secrecy and lots of controversy because right now that is the only way she can get noticed in the media - if people are talking about her. She has run out of patronages to use (she is not doing anything with them so why would they want to have a video call with her?) and I am sure she had to hustle hard to get the Angel publicity spot. Harry must be making it all very difficult for her as well because he hates the paps.
Something from a SciFi shocker?
-The Aliens Have Landed?
-Area 51 Strikes Back?
-The Walk of the Living dead?
-Zombie Pap Walk
-seX Files?
All starring the `one-and-only'(thanks Goodness) Meghan Maskle.
poster gas sent this in;
"It is in the Press Gazette that the DM has applied to have parts of MegBeths court claim struck out, hearing next Friday. You can only have parts of her claim struck out if you can show it has no merit, ie she hasn’t produced evidence to support those parts of the claim. That’s right no evidence. Wonder which bits are going to be struck out"
“They were hiking for over an hour and when they got back to the car the dogs looked exhausted."
“Meghan even had to carry the beagle back because he was so worn out from the heat. There was one security guard with them during the hike."
"When they got back, they put the dogs in the trunk and Meghan drove off.”
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11423187/harry-meghan-masks-lockdown-hike/
Gee, I thought only the faux Archie doll would be made to travel in a car trunk. But I guess people who exercise dogs to the point of exhaustion in the heat have different ideas. :)

@Sylvia: It is an application and not a foregone conclusion. I would think this would be standard that the person who initiates the legal action throws as much mud at the wall as they can and the defendant tries to clean as much mud off the wall as they can before the trial begins.
When I read all the charges Megsy was going with it came across to me as a throw mud at the wall approach.
I suppose it all depends on how well the lawyers argue ...
In the light of COVID-19, what access will the public have to these proceedings? I suspect that the bar for evidence will be quite low and she will get most of not all her charges through to trial, but I can easily be proved wrong!
Sylvia, I pop in and have a look at Skippy's blog because she does have some interesting non-Megsy stuff. However, do you know that she believes that there is some kind of global plot to take down the British monarchy (and Meghan is part of the plot) and Harry is on the side of the BRF? ... it is all an act ... the mental gymnastics to keep this belief going are quite astonishing (Harry is actually in the UK and has been all along, Archie does not exist ...).
The global plot had crossed my mind early on but when we thrashed it out we came to the conclusion (more or less) that she didn't need backers to create her havoc (perfectly capable of doing it on her own and besides she has no loyalty except to herself and her bank balance.)
If, God forbid, she did bring down the Crown it would suit the Left, the Globalists/anti-nation-staters, the EU (perhaps) and sundry criminals (for sure). She's a very Useful Idiot, as the post-war phrase, applied to dupes of the Soviet Union had it, as evidenced by the way so many Left-leaning females in the UK are her sycophants.
On a lighter note, I've thought of a reality TV show I'd almost pay to see her in. Is there such a show as `Celebrity Barrel Racing'?
I recall, early on, she listed `horse riding' among her accomplishments but I've found little evidence for it beyond the photos of her sitting on a horse when on holiday with her father.
I'd love to see her put to the test on that. I'll let her wear a hard hat if she wants one (I'm not that nasty). She'd prefer her panama no doubt, tho' I gather dress code is strict - still, when did that ever bother her?

She's brilliant - I particularly enjoyed the bit about Oprah's `Do you know who I am?' moment over the Chapel seating plan.
I agree, Nelo. It is serious - whipping up anti-Royal feeling, especially at a time like this, is despicable.
I try not to say I `hate' anyone, because hatred can corrode one's own soul, or whatever you call your spiritual self.
Nevertheless, I loathe, despise and detest that woman and hope with every fibre of my being that she latches onto somebody else and that the blind see her her what she is.

Having set a trap for her father, and wrong-footed him to prevent his attendance at her wedding (or being part of her new royal life ever) by deliberately humiliating him on a global stage, she graciously puts out a faux-concerned, wincingly condescending single sentence dismissing him into lonely oblivion, whilst looking forward to ‘sharing her special day’ with everyone else on the planet.
How ruthless and cruel must you be.
But he didn’t go quietly into that sunset that she had so skilfully set up for him. He was of no further use to her, a dismaying incumbrance to her shiny, new life, and I think she thought she had done more than enough to annihilate the embarrassing old fart whilst looking like the caring, wronged daughter. But he didn't shut up. He won’t let her set the narrative. Hence the court case now. She wants the ‘last word’, to have the authority of the law on ‘her side’ and bring that down upon him in vengeance. She wants to make him a pariah. She wants victory over him.
Because why, otherwise, hasn’t she dropped the case? It’s insane.

I came across this London Scoop 'leak' a while back and found it preposterous. Now ... it seems so much more credible! If anyone has not read it, please do and share your views on how credible it is, now that we know all that we know and have seen all that we have seen.
Thanks for the link!
London Scoop ... supposedly a leak from a PR company.
I take the point, Nelo, about that the idea of her backing out of the court case was only speculation - she's even more stupid than I thought. Doesn't know which battles to pick.
Frankly, I think she was told that she needed Harry along to be able to sell the pictures. There simply isn't enough interest in Meg by herself.
Harry probably didn't want to be there, either. He's never particularly pap-friendly when he's away from Meg.
Agree that Harry is the X motivating factor. That no one in LA, including paps, are interested in M unless H is tagging along. There is no money in M but there is some money in H+M aka the Royally Denied, Dumped Dumbartons. So Hollywood says to them, "Appear as the Malibu Two, or we don't need you" As in, the toothsome twosome can be brilliant in the next Austin Powers movie, if it ever gets made, which you can file under, "not bloody likely"
Philanthropy....
NOUN
the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes.
Has she ever donated generous amounts of money to good causes? We know she is good at spending it. And if that's Harry in the footage, he coughed around the food they are delivering to fragile, immunocompromised patients.
CB gleefully declares that the RF "coulda had a bad bitch" but MM got away. I find that phrase offensive, and they're missing the point: the RF never wanted someone fitting that description representing them.
Blimey, you are right. Welcome back
I swear I have thought that quite a few times in past few months. Esp the farewell tour. Jeez...he seemed so bitter.
I believe that if she backs out of the court case at this point, she will be liable for all of the Daily Mail's court costs.
_______________________________
I most certainly hope so.
And also to be honest, I doubt the queen is offended or cares that he left. Hear me out: she might not be pleased with the optics or his choice of mate or whatever like that. But she of all people knows what it is like to be born into something you can’t get out of. Surely she has wondered at points in her life how her life would be different to “be normal.”
We all want our children to be happy, and if I had a sulker who was miserable and who off and on for years wanted out, it would only be a matter of time before I looked at him and said, “then PLEASE go! Go live your life on your terms (well, with cashpoinc charlie’s Money).”
I can see William as enraged over this because maybe it has always been “what Harry wants, Harry gets” and no discipline from Charles. This is yes another let down by Harry to William. I also think Charles probably doesn’t care because he seems to stick his head in the sand about things anyway, so the sooner Harry and Meghan leave, the less he has to think about that is in his face.
You all know that pic at the wedding when the queen was staring at Meghan? I see it as she knew exactly at that point that Harry married Meghan because he knew she would run away with him. The Queen isn’t a stupid woman. She knew Meghan had no ties to the U.K. and wouldn’t make it here and she knew they would end up in LA. HM saw it all. (And allowed it to happen though I’m not sure she could have really done anything to stop it. But she allowed the expensive big showy wedding).
There. That is where I am with this.
Oh and LA is on a very loose lockdown. They can go out and walk dogs: they just have to wear masks.
Well, I read the exhausted dogs story. First of all, Meghan ... was carrying a gold-plated iPhone ... well, of course she was, and I enlarged the photo and it looks like she's carrying the most expensive new pro model because of course she is. Rache is definitely the person who just buys the most expensive one because it's "the best" instead of just figuring out what features she needs and buying that. She is so very ticky-tacky.
But those poor dogs. A true dog lover would never take dogs out in midday sun on dry dirt without water. Guy is geriatric, too, so he is even more likely to wear out quickly. And what on earth does "put them in the trunk" mean? That can't possibly be correct. If Rache wants to alienate anyone who might still have a degree of sympathy/stomach for her, the mistreating dogs is the way to go on the WC. Well, actually just about anywhere in the US.

If I hated her before, which I didn't, I do now.
Interesting thoughts about Harry. Maybe Markle is working for the BRF to take him off their hands. The Harkle Show has become so bizarre anything is possible.
Why isn't the security guy with them wearing a mask?
I love that Prince William has allied himself with Capt Tom Moore, and reportedly made a donation to his efforts.
Sussexes had to hate that. Could that have inspired this incredibly moving spate of self-sacrifice and devotion? (Wipes tear away)

You are right that anything is possible.
@Elle, I think Harry detests the paps whether he called them for a pap walk or not, so we are going to see him in the same clothes with no smile on his face. He might use them, but he’s going to make sure it’s boring as hell for them.
@holly, now that is interesting! Hello, Ms. Markle, we have a son who is a failure to launch and so we need the services of a strong as tungsten US woman to get him off of us.

Stupid man. You are reaping what you have sown.
Do it without the dogs. I have warned you.
(Thanks, @Tatty.)
Were they in a Station wagon/estate car, with tailgate + dog guard, that wouldn't be too unreasonable, with good ventilation/air con throughout the cabin.
Were it a sedan/saloon, with a totally enclosed trunk/boot, that would be appalling in that weather.
Harry out to destroy the monarchy? Quite possibly, he seems bitter and twisted enough. I really would've liked to believe that he's `taking one' for the family but sadly there's not much evidence for it.
I even see his apparent affection for Catherine in a new light now - given how jealous he sees to be of Wm, was he hoping to take her away from his brother?
Roll on the day when the Dumbartons are arrested for treason...
No prob, Lt., I could tell you were talking to Rache. And besides, who could be mad at me lol? …..
So, when I see animal or child abuse, I go from LOL Elle to WTF, I'll Tear Your Organs Out Elle, and okay, that last bit is hyperbole, but surprisingly enough, I will not let it go, make an excuse, turn away. The way she treats her dogs is unacceptable, and this is what we see in photos. Imagine what we don't see. And double for Little Archie.

As long as Markle has given the impression of being human, I have given her a pass. Meh, she wants her 15 minutes of fame. Same as anyone in her place. I don't like it, but, whatever.
But this business of mistreating dogs has gone beyond the pale.
You. Do. NOT. Abuse. These. Loving. Creatures.
Leaving a beautiful creature behind to chase Prince Harry? I was willing to allow some kind of excuse for this. Not sure why. But now ….
I am ready to declare war on her. I will answer for any wrong against her.
"I find it astonishing that something as common as as Meghan's
pap walk dominated the entertainment news cycle online, newspapers and everywhere. Meghan and Harry effectively knocked out the Cambridges BBC interview from the headlines even in the UK. All people are talking about is the pap walk. This is serious. On DM alone, it currently has 12k comments."
I felt the same way as you. However, I don't think it's because they are more popular than the Cambridges, but bc they are such a train wreck people can't look away. They have become a favorite past time like watching a couple on a soap opera that the audience knows is going to break up. Also, when I read the comments they were mostly if not all negative. Still, it is discouraging ppl are giving them any airtime at all. I have to admit I begrudgingly clicked as well. Sigh.
"Lord, now my mind went to Andrew telling Charles he knows the perfect woman to introduce to Harry...."

DH got all animated and said real big (like I wish you all could have seen him): “what a STUPID decision. How dumb can they be? They were a Prince and Princess (he doesn’t know the rules lol) of the U.K. Can you imagine walking around saying, ello, I’m PRINCE HARRY and I’m a PRINCE?”
😂😂😂😂 he just can’t get over that Harry and Meghan gave it up and moved to LA. He said the same thing when they were in Canada, but this was even funnier the way he said it.
