Nutty Flavor Blog

When the Daily Beast, one of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's favorite PR outlets, reported yesterday that the duo had been bothered by drones over their current couchsurf in Los Angeles, I rolled my eyes. Yet another fabrication, courtesy Duchess Meghan. Who really cares enough about these people to fly drones over their residence? Unauthorized drone photos generally can't be sold to commercial publications for legal reasons, so there's not much financial incentive to take photos from above. (The Beast suggested that some recent blurry photos of Harry playing with a dog outdoors were taken by a drone; other bloggers calculated angles that suggest the photographer was inside the house.) Even if drone photos were publishable, who cares about the Sussexes sitting by their pool? That's not an exciting photograph. Who can use that? In addition, if the drones were to catch Meghan topless - as they once caught Kate with long-lens cameras - the photos wouldn't ha

It's no secret to regular readers of the blog that we're dealing with some regular posters who are very unpleasant. In particular, they target popular commenters with the goal of making them miserable and driving them away. My suspicion is that these posters are paid, and that their real goal is to get rid of me and the blog itself. Social media nitwits have long been part of Meg's PR budget; who can forget her clueless supporters on the DM comment boards? And Meg and her sugars have "outed" or gone after other bloggers who displeased her. Alternately, we could be talking about a single troubled person who gets their jollies out of creating multiple personalities and arguing with themselves. Whatever it is, it's unwelcome and annoying, and we need to take action. Anyway, I've identified a few possible approaches, with upsides and downsides. Here they are: Move to a Wordpress Blog The positives: We can have several moderators, which is not po

Many Nutties also enjoy the Tumblr blog I'll refer to as Plant, since the blogger is keen on privacy and hides her blog address from searches. Plant, who has blogged about the Sussexes since early 2017, claimed yesterday to have a special insight into Meghan's merching prices via a business connection to a fashion company that booked Meghan for a job.  According to Plant, Meghan received "$20k per item before the engagement, $150k per item after the engagement, $250k per item after the wedding" while carrying out Royal engagements. She pointed out that each event required several items, including handbag, shoes, clothes and jewelry, and added that the $250k figure was for "an item worn during an official event (daytime, casual, non-luxury brand) during a tour." According to Plant, Harry was also paid for wearing some items. But she looks awful! These seem like hefty figures, particularly since Meghan often appears wrinkled, messy, poorly tailored, and otherw

It seems so fresh, Meg and Harry's wedding ceremony. Could it have really been just two years ago that Meg stepped out of the Rolls Royce Phantom IV that had also been used by Wallis Simpson, wearing the long veil that the Queen supposedly had specifically ordered her not to wear? Was it only 24 months ago that we were all really wondering if Thomas Markle (or any of the Markles) would show up for their darling Meghan's second - or third - wedding? Could it have been just 104 weeks since the world was waiting to see Meg's wedding dress, only to see her enter St. George's Chapel in something that looked like she made it herself with a Simplicity pattern and an IKEA sewing machine? (Even Meg's supporters said it looked like it was lacking "one last fitting.") Has it only been 730 days since Harry's lifelong friends like Tom Inskip were denied tickets to the reception dinner to make room for new friends Oprah, Idris Elba, Priyanka Chopra, and George and A

Apparently Prince Harry will appear on the BBC's The One Show tonight in a filmed segment, talking to the families of World War II survivors who suffered burns in battle. (You'll be able to see it here shortly after broadcast, which begins at 1900 British time, or 2100 Eastern European Time, which is the time on this blog). He's a little late for VE Day, but better late than never, I suppose.  The suspense is terrific. Will he be filming from his laundry room again? Or will he sit in the beige chair beside the generic houseplant? Meanwhile, Lifetime has announced its third Harry & Meghan movie, tenatively titled " Harry and Meghan: Escaping the Palace ." Which one are you looking forward to most?

The Daily Mail - you know, one of those tabloids the Sussexes promised never to co-operate with again - has released the "exclusive" news that Meg and Harry are now couchsurfing at the Los Angeles home of Tyler Perry . Perry, for our non-US Nutties who may not be familiar with him, is a great American success story, Once so poor he had to live in his car, he parlayed a single theater play into a media empire based in Atlanta, Georgia. Perry's best-known works tend toward the popular side, mostly (very) lowbrow film comedies. But he's put thousands of people to work, the majority of them African-American, and helped many Black people become behind-the-camera professionals. What does Tyler Perry want with Meg? Casting Meg in a production? Technically, Perry could give Meg an acting job. He's almost constantly working on television series that need a variety of types. (I see his latest is a horror series about a Black woman in a religious cult .) Being Du

What do you think of the birthday video of Archie? I’ll be brief since I am writing on a phone, but the poor little kid looks miserable and seems to have no connection with Meghan. Your thoughts?
