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:
The negatives: Everyone would have to take a few moments to create a Wordpress profile if they don't already have one. Also, Wordpress shows me your IP which can indicate your general location - unless you use a VPN - plus whatever email address you have set up to comment.
I personally don't care about your email or your location, but if big corporate websites can get hacked, I suppose a small Wordpress site could as well.
Also, this solution would have to wait until I have time to fully implement it.
The positives: Can be implemented today. Allows for nested comments, which is something many Nutties have wanted for a long time, plus GIFS - not sure if that is a positive or a negative!
The negatives: Again, you will have to create an account, and Disqus exposes your email and IP address to me unless you use a VPN. (I suppose our troublesome poster could use a VPN and come up with a lot of nonsense postings from mulitple IPs, defeating the purpose)
I don't go to CDAN much any more - has Disqus worked well for Enty?
Personally, I rather like it that way - should someone get uncovered, I can say with full confidence that I had nothing to do with it!
Unfortunately, that wonderful openness has resulted in abuse. Some dullard seems to think it's fun to make me waste my time deleting multiple idiotic comments, multiple times per day.
What do you think the best way forward could be? I'll leave this poll open until late Monday to get everyone's input, and I'm also open to separate suggestions.

Move to a Wordpress Blog
The positives: We can have several moderators, which is not possible for a Google Blogger Account. This would allow someone to moderate during the hours when I am asleep, roughly 10pm-6am Estonian time, which is when the mischief seems to happen.The negatives: Everyone would have to take a few moments to create a Wordpress profile if they don't already have one.

Add Disqus to this Blog
Enty has recently switched to Disqus commenting system on his Google Blog, which allows him to ban users and IPs.The positives: Can be implemented today. Allows for nested comments, which is something many Nutties have wanted for a long time, plus GIFS - not sure if that is a positive or a negative!

Google Blogger allows for excellent privacy protection, and it is truly open to all.

Newest Harry Markle... I'm beginning to think has an ax grind and it's not just the spending. Sure they spent a lot of money. Yes, they were both unkempt. Yes, she broke protocol. But I'm sensing something more. Knew one or both of them personally? Got Markled?
150 million roubles ? 😉
@Lurking@Sarah
I think HarryMarkle has a connection to a member, by marriage,
of the Spencer family. Ex military.
Royals... only time royals have security paid for is if they are on an official visit to a foreign country. Otherwise they only have Met officers. Official visit, again, the city pays the security. HAMS are not on official royal business, so their security wouldn't be paid for unless there is a credible threat. There are reports that Smeg claimed her home in Toronto was broken into after she started dating Harry and got police protection.
The city where they are staying will not provide round the clock security indefinitely, if they are paying at all. This maybe something Enty threw up to see if it would stick. I don't put it past Smeg to cry wolf for the attention.
It still angers me that we had to partially pay for her security for the New York baby shower. That was not official business...it was a social event. I truly don’t think that we are contributing to their security now. I agree that ENTY is trying to see what sticks as I see 3 fallacies with this blind: 1) why would they need additional security now when Tyler Perry’s place supposedly comes with its OWN security? 2) I do not think that we are paying, as it’s not our responsibility if they choose to live here; 3) The months and months, years and years part...I don’t know ANYONE who thinks that Harry will be in this country forever, so this is just pure exaggeration.
I’ve never gotten the impression that Harry Markle knows Harry or has an axe to grind. She said way at the beginning that she really didn’t know anything about the topic and had to piece it all together. I think she’s someone that, as a British citizen, is completely fed up with this grifter, her long con, and the way that she slid into the BRF and she’s chosen to expose her. Initially, she supported Harry, but as time has gone on that has changed as things have played out.
@Aquagirl: I had read she called the police claiming someone broke into her home, the police came, and then ? Like I said, I wouldn't put it past her to cry wolf for the attention. I also don't put it past her to make up threats to extort more money from either Charles or the MET for more protection... mostly to maker herself look more important.
Other topic.... tabloids, you know the ones that don't exist in the US, are claiming divorce rumors and name Gayle King as saying Harry will return to UK after lockdown.
Only a person with absolutely no conscious, no feelings, no NOTHING could and would do such a thing and I detest her for it! What was finally admitted to by the U.S. government....well....they can quote any amount they want.....we have no way of knowing the TRUE cost for that witches tantrum!!!!!!
Did she need a baby shower? “Gifts” for the baby? Give me an effing break! She did that to send a message to the royal family and / or to that dickless wonder...Harry.
And has anyone stopped her since or after that? The answer is a resounding NO! she says and does as she pleases and we can all go to hell if we don’t like it!!!!!!
I see no change in anything. This “one year trial” is a joke. She has Harry, the baby, racism and things she hasn’t yet thrown out there. Nobody is going to stop her! Nobody.
Sounds like complete bullsh*t to me. Did y'all decide what the real story was?
NYC paid for the baby shower security. I'd like to know who asked to have streets closed. Those permits aren't issued on a minutes notice. I also want to know about her taxes. All the gifts and cash she's received in the past 2 years, the rent free mansions... all that is taxable.
Tom Inskip: I'm leaning toward total bs. Only thing I can see is if he's parachuting in to extract the prisoner.
I note that Chinese military has crossed the border into India (again) and seems to be fortifying their positions. They are attempting to brutally subjugate Hong Kong, and the goal of peaceful reunification with Taiwan has been changed to reunification. Taiwan is offering support to Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, what happened to the Uighurs? I think this summer could get very interesting indeed.
lockdown. This is BS.
There are also reports they are getting stores to close so they can shop privately and had roads closed. Closing roads doesn't make sense unless the roads are within the HOA and the HOA has closed them. Neighbors are complaining. Same complaints as when at Frogmore... don't approach them, don't ask about Archie (she snaps), don't make eye contact. This from their neighbors living in multi-million dollar homes. They haven't figured out that people living in multi million dollar homes are likely very successful and have contacts. Burn more bridges please.
Most stores are closed right now anyway, which leaves grocery stores. Who knows if they pulled "do you know who I am?" to get a store to close for their personal shopping.
We have other preoccupations, however living in Southern California I can tell you it's business as usual now. News reports from places like Santa Monica show people out in droves. Economically, the west side of LA won't be hit very hard, meaning the people Smeg needs to network with are available and not worried about being homeless or where their next meal is going to come from. They are open for business and looking for deals.
You're one of the best here. Please stay with us.
@Nutty,
Hopefully, if we freeze out the unknowns and the problem posters, we can get back to a fun, blog with wonderful people.
I know that Disqus has some problems, and if you go the Wordpress route, I hope you're more tech advanced than I. I've spent all day trying to set up my Wordpress blog, and it's driving me crazy. When I say all day, I mean from 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Of course, I took the hard route and designed it myself, and I don't know anything about all that it entails. It's far beyond my capabilities. I have read and watched so many tutorials, I'm almost blind!
To all of you lovely Nutties, I hope you stay, and I hope that those who have left will come back. I just had to take a break from the madness, but I'm back, too.

-----------------
We don't want MM here either - she may have married into the RF but she is still an American citizen and highly unlikely ever to qualify for British citizenship. Despite her early `enthusiasm' for the UK (shall we call that `acting'?) she can't stand us or our country long enough to stick it out for the necessary time.
That'something to be thankful for.
No way the story is true IMO. And it sounds like a MM creation. Only someone as ignorant about kids as she seems to be would think a parent would fly a newborn across the country to "meet" a toddler.
No need to worry I will try to cause more problems, or that I am some sort of a “cleaner” from another blog. I am out of here. You make this such an unpleasant experience. Good night and God Bless you!
Honestly, you couldn’t make this stuff up! And yet, she does. Preoccupied with fantasy to the point she doesn’t seem to have a grasp on reality.
My apologies - I missed your query.
The route- there's a map at:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/politics97/diana/journey.html
Diana's cortege:
They went from KP to the Abbey - as the crow flies, that's 2.62 miles according to Google Earth. I can't find an exact figure but it's clearly longer than that. It took 1hr 47 mins in all. Funereal pace is very slow.
2017 interview - how the boys felt:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41017659
Earl Spencer stirring it at:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/diana-princess-coffin-earl-spencer-lied-to-william-harry-prince
That said, I must say that the Harkles have somehow led me here, and I'm so glad they did. In their own strange way, their stupidity brings people together. Maybe that's the "work" they keep talking about on Zoom, finding even more ridiculous versions of why they "had to leave." Had to leave the Royal Foundation, had to leave KP, had to leave Frogmore, Britain, royal duty, the media, Canada.
Darlings, maybe it's not about leaving, as much as you two can't stick to anything. Sigh.
I never heard that bit about a possible VISA revocation for Megs? Can someone point me towards a time period/blog entry about that? The erratic jumping around seemed strange, but fits with the self-centered "gotta-be-me" vibe of Hollywood but a possible drug charge, arrest is much more interesting.
Happy to see you here again!
Yes, Skippy may also have some guilt if it's true that he introduced MM to Harry. She and Harry treated him, and Harry's other old friends, so badly. Just shunned them, all for a C-list actress with a questionable past.
I hope that Skippy, and some of the others, will speak up.
I don't think I'd be the best candidate for a mod, but thanks for thinking of me. I think Nutty has other plans that will allow her to keep control of her own blog, which is only right. This blog is her baby, and it would be difficult for her to turn it over to a part-time mother. :)
Besides, I'm setting up my own blog right now, not about MM or the BRF, so I'm kind of up to my ears in the blog business right now.
It was done to placate what would once have been called the `mob', in an ugly situation. Nobody dared say anything critical of Diana at the time. An unguarded word to acquaintances could lead to difficulties, nothing life-threatening, just ostracism. There was, however, an unspoken fear of instability and revolution, admitted to only later.
Few commentators have analysed the situation: the role of Diana herself in creating her own following; the part played by the Press in stirring up mass emotion; and the change in British society itself which encourage us to `let it all hang out', as opposed to our previous attitude of reserve and stoicism.
To what extent this change in society was encouraged by Diana herself is debatable. See:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1069352/QUENTIN-LETTS-The-50-people-wrecked-Britain.html
I'm inclined to agree with him.
My reaction was that all the public weeping and wailing was inappropriate - here was a family where two of its youngest members had lost their mother in tragic circumstances, yet Joe Public expected to be comforted by those closest to the death.
It can be argued that Diana was a Spencer so her own family should have made the arrangements. How many families are expected to lay on a bells-and-whistles funeral for their son's divorced wife?
I gathered that this was the Queen's view at first and it was Charles who could see that the `people` demanded action. He was said to have challenged his mother, asking if she was prepared to have Diana's body brought home from Paris in a Harrods van? (Or words to that effect).
@Unknown: Yes, I believe the published interviews were the part of the TV doc.
It's from Quentin Letts and I think it might cast some light on our current wannabe Diana:
"The 'People's Princess' was a liability, a souffle of false ideas, a supermodel with all that that entails. She was the glamorous tool of cleverer men, a plaything for the powerful, a delusion worshipped only by the impressionable.
The Princess may have been a loving mother. She may also have been photogenic and able to convey an easy charm. But the sorry truth is that this adored concept, this packaged, airbrushed Diana, weakened our society. She made us more neurotic.
After Diana, it became so easy to emote it was hard to tell if people meant their tears or if they were simply trying them on. Diana robbed us of the stoicism and understatement which had served Britain well.
Thanks largely to Diana we have become a country in which the words 'crisis' and 'disaster' are devalued from overuse, a country of emotional incontinence where adults will weep if they fail to win a talent competition yet where no one bothers to welcome home soldiers from a war zone.
Diana was a danger to the stability of our kingdom. She mixed in circles that were disreputable and, in some cases, neurotically anti-British. Her death was shocking, horrible and a waste of beauty."
As exam questions used to say `Compare and contrast...' What do you think? Has MM convinced herself that she is Diana Reincarnate?

I know I am stretching your context here somewhat, but that kind of territorial attitude is why I don't post much. Is my opinion worth less because I am one of the quiet ones?
There have been a lot of times when I would have liked to chime in, but don't bother because one has to either be part of the "in crowd" or has to be a nuisance or troll to get any kind of reaction. Quiet personalities who post occasionally get ignored.
I'm British, I come from a large military family with a long history of service to Monarch and Country. How many of you have actually been right inside either Windsor Castle or St James Palac, and I don't mean the tourist areas. I have. But you are unlikely to read about it because the loudest voices hold sway, even when their facts are awry. Small voices get ignored. I carry on reading those I find interesting, I thank Nutty for providing the forum, and I don't bother posting because there's not much point.
I totally agree with your comment and you aren’t alone as I see and feel it too. I read and scroll far more than I comment. Being a lurker has its major upsides, maybe more preferable. ;o)
**************
Vince said...... as the Harkles lose relevance (which is happening quickly) I find it harder to maintain interest......
Totally agree. It’s harder to find a reason to comment, especially with re-hashed stuff. For me it’s mostly waiting for the publication of Lady C’s book or some major news or change regarding the Dubious Duo. ;o)
I think she has really doubled down since the response from the palace that they wouldn't be commenting about "their side."
But this is not good for their brand in America. I'm not in PR but I can see that
“They are going to be very wary about opening up their social circle too much, as fraternizing with the wrong people has the potential to be hugely damaging to their image and plans.”
I'd like to hear some stories of Windsor Castle and St. James Palace, particularly not the tourist views. Must be very grand. I'd like to find out the military's, past and present, points of view about all this. I'd think that soldiers would be very unhappy with Harry as a commanding officer but they've had to put up with idiot officers in the past (as have we).
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8354119/amp/The-Queen-noted-Archie-Prince-Harrys-red-hair-great-grandsons-birthday-zoom.html?ico=amp_dontMiss
Maybe her cataract surgery wasn't quite a success!
Same source says Archie is "pulling up" on things and will likely soon be walking. Right. I'd eat my hat if the child we saw in the video isn't already walking.
When they have to zoom with vendors for their anniversary, seems like there isn't anybody that wishes to be part of their social circle unless they are being paid.
Yes, do please post - your comments will be most welcome, with your background.
I've been around a long time - I can even remember the birth of Prince Charles - so I've seen and heard a lot over the years. I apologise if I've had too much to say for myself.
A number of us have had traumatic experience of other narcissists and are keen to work out just what is/has been going on, what's rumour and what might have a grain of truth in it.
Your contribution would be very valuable and I, for one, look forward to it. The closest I've ever been to HM was being stopped at a roundabout so the royal car could turn right, just in front of me.
@Sandie, I miss your South Africa updates. Hope you and your family are doing well also.
But it's also possible Tom and his wife linked up with Heads Together for charitable fundraising purposes in honor of their loved one with no intention of a "make up" with Harry and his unsuitable wife who likely crashed their wedding then didn't invite them to their evening reception.
At any rate, I seriously doubt Tom leaked he planned to use his company's private plane to take his newborn son to LA to meet Archie "as soon as the lockdown is over." If he and Harry really had a make up over a year ago, it seems exceedingly odd they haven't yet seen each other but will do so during a pandemic. And as another poster said, it sounds too much like TQ is having a birthday party for M, Kate is throwing a baby shower for M, TQ is anxious for Doria to spend Christmas at Sandringham, TQ frequently drops in for tea at Frogmore Cottage, or the Cambridge children look forward so much to seeing Cousin Archie during Zoom calls. What those reports all have in common is that normally close-mouthed people are so anxious to please H&M&A and to be in their presence, not only do they leak to the press but they go out of their way to make events happen (even breaking long-held royal traditions and/or risking lives.)
What role the BFR play in ending this relationship. I ask this because there have been so many scandals. Maybe the Harkles are like a bothersome fly where one waits for it to go away.
Does the BFR have a rehab plan for Harry?
What is Charles doing, except paying?
Is the repayment scheme for Frog Cottage just a PR ploy?
These are the questions that I am waiting for the posters to discuss, especially as this marriage dissolves.
Thank you.
In a way, being like the Cambridges, who do not engage Meghan as she attempts to upstage them with her antics, is a great way to deal with these people. Ignoring them is the best way to address it. These toxic people are looking for a destructive fight. Don’t feed their schoolyard behavior.
It is not possible with certainty to diagnose Meghan with NPD from our location here. But, from my firsthand experience and knowledge of people with NPD and from the collective experiences and knowledge of many who comment here, it’s easy to see that Meghan checks off all the behavioral boxes for someone with NPD, as does her relationship with Harry, who checks off the behavioral boxes for they type of person who is targeted by people with NPD and quickly becomes deeply ensnared in a relationship with the narc.
You might have to keep removing their comments for a while, but hopefully they will eventually realize they aren’t getting anywhere and move on. Whomever is paying them (if they are paid) will not want to waste their money on fruitless efforts.
Your blog has a reputation for thoughtful and insightful posts and member comments. This type of discourse is incredibly threatening to people who have narcissistic personality disorder and their flying monkeys.
The activities of her supporters, who, in the psychology field are nicknamed flying monkeys, are also playing out on this same stage.
While of the commenting here might be paid, some non-paid commenters are similar to Harry in that they have been caught up in the periphery of Meghan’s grift. These people, paid or not paid, have taken it upon themselves to follow Meghan’s tactic of attempting to destroy anything or anyone who unmasks Meghan and her narcissistic agenda.
My best advice for everyone who contributes to the overall quality of the discourse here is don’t feed the toxic commenters. Just don’t respond to them no matter how tempting it might be. Engaging them, like tangling with the queen or suing the MoS, is only providing fuel to encourage these people.
Your blog is a place where you and those of us who comment and discuss the unfolding Sussex train wreck are just watching it play out on a world stage.
BTW: I will post an article from the Canadian magazine Macleans, that discusses Meghan buying followers. I would not put it past her to add paying toxic commenters.
Sad observation about conspiracy against M
If she really believed there was some sort of conspiracy, then it didn't matter what was ever said/done because those words or that action was viewed as part of the conspiracy which then "validates" the belief that the conspiracy is real.
It becomes a feedback loop.
and there is no way to prove a negative
so the reality is
there was nothing anyone at the palace could have done differently which would have altered what happened
never complain never explain is the right course
this is far more tangled, far more scary in terms of perceptions of reality and accuracy and whose reality is really real
I've looked at what keeps people in cults. Ones which do a lot of sending people out as missionaries face rejection so returning to the cult is a good thing as the cult offers the love/care/support and that is in stark contrast to what they just experienced. So it has to get really bad for someone to say: this offer of support/love is actually not in my best interest so facing those who were telling me this was all wrong is actually a better alternative.
According to Macleans, Meghan bought bots. For wannabes, especially in Hollywood, it is very common to buy bots and individual followers. https://www.macleans.ca/royalty/meghan-markles-twitter-bot-network-the-whole-thing-is-a-bit-insane/
It looks like the consensus is for keeping the blog as-is, with a common agreement to avoid engaging with the one or two posters who are causing trouble for everyone else.
I will, however, follow up on the leads some of you have sent me about alternatives, on the off-chance that we for some reason have trouble with Google Blogger. If this blog suddenly disappears from Blogger, I will set it up elsewhere.
In the meantime, it would be a great help if our regular "Unknowns" would give themselves a name. One or two Unknowns have caused problems, and it would be nice to be able to distinguish them from our usual unknowns.
Thank you!
For supplemental reading to help answer some of your questions about the Sussex debacle that will provide a good knowledge foundation, read the 14 installments of A Very Royal Narcissist, which since Megxit have evolved to the modified name A Not So Royal Narcissist on narcsite. com and the harrymarkle site, ESPECIALLY the timeline posts.
In fact, this is sadly also happening in the political/partisan sphere in the US. Not posting specifics due to @Nutty's request for no politics.
It is truly sad that we have to question every. single. thing. we now read online.
A quick look at other attention seekers such as the Kardashians, other celebs and reality stars reveals they contact the press directly by posting selfies or sometimes by paid PR.
Although I'm not one of her fans I don't understand her strategy. IMO her need to be in the news constantly is a not insignificant part of why she is unpopular with a large segment of the public who otherwise might be neutral in their view of her.

Then as is typical, when I defend myself or even point out they are going out of their way to provoke me, they respond angrily such as the above days late ..(to keep their narrative going).
I STAYED OFF this site FOR OVER 24 hours and certain people WANT TO CONTINUE to discuss me and write provacative things about me. Also people make up many things about me, things I never said or done. Do you treat your Grandmother this way! Do you treat disable people in your life tis way! Well you are sick to be doing it to me. I just write a normal comment on the topic and certain people can't control their ugly urges.
Oh and the posters who write I shouldn't respond are telling me to 'take it' just like telling a rape victim to sit back and take it. I can say this having been raped and that is why I fight, I am not going to be a victim again!!!!!! Why don't you tell the posters (some of the ones I named above)) to stop it!
My home care worker just came in and she is mortified at what the abusing posters have done to me!!!!!1
Back on-topic -- was wondering how long it would take for the Harkles to play the conspiracy card. None of the other ones, race, etc., have worked, and this one won't either IMO. The smell of desperation coming from those two means we need gas masks as well as paper or cloth ones!

Thanks for that -- most posters here would definitely have their eyes further opened.
I remember reading all the installments before, but it's been a while, so will revisit it.
If my husband would have mentioned anything like taking our newborn baby across the country to introduce him to a possibly imaginary child of a psycho during a time of pandemic, it would take a colonoscopy to find my boot in his a**.
Agree. It seems like the Harkle stories are getting more outrageous by the day. And less believable. They can't even be described as sugar articles anymore they are so strange.
You have hit the nail on the head. It makes no sense for an adult professional to have "friends" communicate to the press on their behalf. I have often wondered about this myself. But...
1) MM was probably told in no uncertain terms that members of the RF are not supposed to court the media. It wouldn't surprise me if her "friends" speaking to the press is her way of "bending the rules" which we have often seen her do. And her pathology might not see anything wrong with it, because technically if her friends are giving the interview, not her, then it's OK.
2) Most of us can easily see how hypocritical this behavior is. Sue Dad for talking to the press, but it's fine for friends to feed stories to them on the regular?
3) I think something happened that seriously made an impression on her at a young age, perhaps it was working as a child actor, or getting praised/spoiled as a teen. She seems preoccupied with "surprises," overly posing for pictures, luxury travel, name dropping, etc...
Most of us who work and have families would be severely distressed at the thought of not having our own house or apartment at 38 years old. We certainly wouldn't expect to win people over with stories of making cakes if we publicly humiliated and scorned our own families and in laws. We certainly wouldn't leave our babies on other continents to go watch tennis.
She often quotes the "Don't give it five minutes if you're not going to give it five years" bit. Really? Additionally, if the UK was so toxic, why return for the events in March? Why continue to use the Duchess of Sussex title? Page Six running the story is revealing. Those are people in New York she should be trying to convince she's a good investment, not the victim of a conspiracy.
How long did her marriage(s) last again? Bwahahaha.
I would imagine she could send word through a cdan royal blind ?? deal nutty?
However, Meghan has a whole constellation of behaviors that she uses to protect herself or deflect blame. She is so predictable one can write a textbook on her.
That was an interesting article in Maclean's about MM's twitter bot army. I think it was something that we all knew was happening, but it's good to hear that investigators have followed up on it and found it to be true.
This may be what is happening to us here on Nutty's blog- a coordinated attack by Meghan's bot army. The rabble rousing by a few here is obvious in its intent.
@Nutty, I'm glad that you've decided to see if we can just ignore the problem children here. It may take some time, but I think they'll get bored and go away if we just ignore them. You can't argue with a blank wall. Unfortunately, in the meantime, you might have some extra work in the morning to clean things up to bring back our happy place here.
In the Maclean's article, it mentioned that many of the bots go under the name "Unknown," so I agree that people should use usernames here. I'm wary of people who post under "Unknown," as it's so easy to set up a screen name. It takes less than a minute to do.
@Animal Lover,
When it comes to MM, a "source" or a "friend" is so obviously her or somebody she's asked or paid to be her mouthpiece, as in Scobie or the "five friends," who are at the center of the lawsuit. You'd think that she would loosen up on going with the unnamed source route, but, no, MM thinks she's fooling all of us.
It's so obvious, that I just shake my head in disbelief when I read about her "sources," latest attempts at controlling the narrative. I just ignore anything that they have to say. MM has really overplayed this unnamed source business. I believe that the reporters know this, and continue to report on her "sources" because it shows that she is too cowardly to stand up for herself and openly say what she has to say. She hides behind this trickery, and all of us know it. She calls herself a strong and independent woman! Hah!
Same with Oprah. She needs Gayle to do her dirty work for her. A good example of this is Gayle saying that Oprah had nothing to do with Tyler Perry offering his house to The Harkles. Oprah's another self-anointed strong and independent woman who hides behind other people when the going gets tough.
Most of us who work and have families would be severely distressed at the thought of not having our own house or apartment at 38 years old. We certainly wouldn't expect to win people over with stories of making cakes if we publicly humiliated and scorned our own families and in laws. We certainly wouldn't leave our babies on other continents to go watch tennis
AND we wouldn't expect our Mommy, Daddy, or in laws to pay for our clothes, our jewelry, or our housing. I just can't take a professional mooch seriously. I'm not sure why people would want to listen to a crazy person about mental health, either.
sometimes I think all of her obvious shenanigans don't come to light because no one really cares of them. if even a third of that merching rumor is true that is incredibly scandalous and should be revealed. she talks this wild conspiracy theory. where is the reporter with bullet points showing at every turn she brought all this upon herself?
only couple I can think of that had lame in your face pr or stories keeping them in news for entirely too long was that Spencer fella with the girlfriend who had all the plastic surgery. Brad and Angelina were everywhere too but they were a power couple.
I don't know where she learned all this PR is somehow a positive. we are following the story. curious to know if everyday folks even know who they are. Harry of course ,but I don't think general population cares to know the intricacies of his daily life. unless they find out they are paying for it
If Nutty's blog disappears, maybe she could post on CDAN where her new blog will be. All of us can check there if it disappears one day.
@Nutty,
Do you think this is a good idea?
I normally avoid reading HAMS articles from magazines like Town and Country or Vanity Fair, but considering there seems to be a recent PR push before their book launch by the Harkles, I decided to take a look at the latest article. Whatever Erin Vanderhoof was smoking when she wrote the piece has got to be pretty good. I decided to do a little commentary a la Mystery Science Theater 3000, except I call it Meghan-Stein Theater 2020. Here goes-
Title: “She was Convinced There Was A Conspiracy Against Her:” Why Meghan Markle Fled the United Kingdom
Comment: Well that title is all wrong. Now that we know the REAL truth, the title should have been “Because Everyone Was Being A Big Meany To My Wifey With the Magical Boobs I Decided We Were Leaving. Take That Grandmama!” By Yours Truly Just Harry
'But according to a new report in the Sunday Times Magazine, the couple’s friends had been aware of their desire to make it back to Meghan’s hometown for a long time. Canada was “never the forever home,” a friend said to Katie Nicholl (who is also a correspondent for Vanity Fair). “The big plan, for Meghan at least, was always L.A.” '
Comment: Do they HAVE any friends or is this like Meghan’s Big Birthday Bash at Balmoral fantasy? I can hear her saying to herself, If I can dream it I can achieve it! (All the while calling up all the papers and magazines. I wonder if she disguises her voice.)
'The couple did take advantage of the relative privacy while they had it. Soon after arriving in L.A., Meghan reportedly took Harry for a drive around her old neighborhood, past the house where she was raised and the preschool she once attended. “The streets were empty,” a friend told the Times. “It would be two days before the paparazzi found out where they were and what they were doing so they got to see the city in a way they wouldn’t ordinarily be able to. They loved being able to drive themselves around. It was very freeing for them but probably won’t happen again.” '
Translation: It took us two days to figure out where to stage ourselves for our planned pap walk.
' “It’s not been easy for Harry,” one of his friends told the Times. “He had a much more established life in England and he doesn’t really know anyone in LA. I imagine he might be feeling a bit of what [Meghan] felt over in the UK—lonely and directionless.” '
Translation: Hapless hasn’t ever had a direction so this shouldn’t be a new feeling for him. But this doesn’t make him sound like the Billy Bada$$ he’s trying to pretend to be by taking full responsibility for fleeing the UK. Pick a side JH and stick to it!
'Meghan felt cut off and isolated living in Windsor. “She was convinced there was a conspiracy against her and so she basically put herself in self isolation when they moved to Frogmore,” '
Comment: Can’t be in self isolation in Frogmore if you were never there.
' Meghan, a Los Angeles native, once wrote about being a California girl “who lives by the ethos that most things can be cured with either yoga, the beach or a few avocados.” '
Comment: Yeah I got nothing…
'Sources told the Times that financial independence was a driving force behind Harry and Meghan’s decisions to stand down as senior royals. “One of the things Meghan struggled with was not earning an income,” said a friend. “She has always worked and I think she felt unfulfilled. Having financial freedom was a big part of them wanting to leave.” '
Comment: She has been bitter about not being allowed to wear the Kokoshnik Tiara ever since the wedding. Meghan’s Mirror would have made a killing marketing copies of them so every Meghan fan across the globe can wear one at their candlelight suppers.
@Wild Boar Battle-Maid Askja is beautiful! One of my favorite places along with Snæfellsjökull (we drove to the top of the glacier covered volcano and took a snowmobiling excursion!)

_____________________________________
^^This.
I held off on replying to @Cookie Shark's excellent commentary as answering the whole thing would have taken weeks, :) Nicely done, CS.
But one thing really struck a chord. There were six of us kids in my family, and we were all told in no uncertain terms that when we reached 18, we were either in college or the military. There is no way I could have lived with the shame of continuing to live with my parents (unless I were disabled).
Neither of the Harkles has any shame whatsoever. It's humility that marks a person -- genuine humility about one's place in the world. All of the usual markers of appreciation for the breaks one gets in life turn into entitlement. Attempts to shame them are mere inconveniences to them.
It's absolutely mind-blowing.
I think the reporters are holding back on what they know about all of MM's shenanigans until the lawsuit is over. They don't want to be so combative that it will ruin the case. Then, watch out, MM! They're coming for you.
Very good point. A lot of people have a warm, fuzzy feeling for Oprah based on her public persona but, to get to where she is now, she would have to be ruthless. There's nothing wrong with that. I respect it. All good business people have to be able to cut the nonperforming and toss 'em to the curb.
Oprah wants her public persona to be warm and open, so Gayle gets to do the nasty work (and she is quite well paid for it). I believe that MM and H may confuse the public persona with the real person and have gotten a gentle smack upside the head.
Now, opinions aside, does your health continue to improve, or do you still have setbacks? I keep you in my thoughts, you are an inspiration.
@SwampWoman,
"If my husband would have mentioned anything like taking our newborn baby across the country to introduce him to a possibly imaginary child of a psycho during a time of pandemic, it would take a colonoscopy to find my boot in his a**" .
Lol. I enjoy reading commenters funny take on the Keeping up with the Harkles Show. People here have a great sense of humour and MM has no sense of humour. Even her most ardent fans have to admit that she has no sense of humour whilst H used to have one. His was a bit juvenile and prankish but he did have one.
Great breakdown of the article. No idea what Mystery science Theatre is but your Meghan-stain Theatre 2020 was on point.
The Mystery Science Theatre series was a small group of guys (two of whom pretended to be robots) providing a running commentary on different "B" movies -- I shed a lot of tears of laughter watching them :)
I only wish there were more Harkle parodies being put out!
...giving herself a frivolous “baby shower," tying up our security to the tune of MILLIONS! ...And has anyone stopped her since or after that? The answer is a resounding NO! she says and does as she pleases and we can all go to hell if we don’t like it!!!!!! I see no change in anything. This “one year trial” is a joke...Nobody is going to stop her! Nobody.
This is definitely the downside of the BRF's handling things quietly behind the scenes: British taxpayers and expats being up in arms. But I think their number one reason for doing it is to protect Harry from himself so that he doesn't overdose or commit suicide.
Again, I think we're already at the end game, and the BRF is waiting for things to deteriorate between the two of them and for Harry to come home. The one-year review will almost assuredly result in their losing their Sussex titles (if they aren't lost before then), and I think the BRF are still doing some things behind the scenes to counter MM's various machinations. Remember the rumors that MM would appear on Vanity Fair's May cover and then it was Princess Anne instead?
@elf,
I've just gotta say that yours was brilliant and so funny!
@Lt. Uhura,
It was the same in my family. Go to college, but make sure that your major will support you financially.
@ Good Vibes,
I'm still chuckling at the colonoscopy comment! I would definitely do the same.
@Swampwoman,
I'm back to good health, and I feel great. Getting a lot of things done that I had to put off when I was sick. I'm putting my house back in order, cleaning out closets, etc. I'm also starting to do some writing again, which brings me such joy. Thank you for asking!

Your parents and mine were of the same mindset (grin). I went into the military as well.
I think their constant "Look at me! Look at me!" stems from lack of confidence. (I'm not saying that confidence and arrogance are the same, they aren't, and it appears that they have arrogance in spades, but the arrogance is based on the accomplishments of others, not their own accomplishments.)
Confidence comes from successfully accomplishing/completing a mission. I don't care what the mission was, or what skills were learned, just that the learning and completing took place. I believe they were both overprotected and didn't learn the useful skills that the rest of us have developed in order to function as team members and to not take credit for others' contributions. This is why she takes credit as a social justice warrior (how I hate that term!) for a school project that all the class participated in.
In other words, they are frauds and are afraid that others will see that.
Sorry, I didn't see your comment about Nutty posting on CDAN to tell us where the blog will be if it disappears. I guess we are of two minds, huh!
Lt. Nyota Uhura, and anybody else that wants to comment (grin): But one thing really struck a chord.

There is absolute validation in how we are as human members of this Earth. How we feel, how we believe, how we act.

What I want to know is, why these pathetic examples of humans are somehow granted any kind of interest.
Also there's a pandemic, and you are living in a giant mansion you don't own. You have no job. Wife is also unemployed. Stay at home order for the foreseeable future.
Your wife says, "get in the car, I want to drive past my old preschool."
@Lt. Nyota Uhura
Thanks for the explanation The Mystery Science Theatre sounds fun.
That's what many of us need more fun less angst. I really hope more commenters, media,people make more comedy out of this Harkle mess. It is a horrible situation but humour can sometimes prick more - especially with someone with such grandiose and inflated ideas of themselves à la MM.
>>>What I want to know is, why these pathetic examples of humans are somehow granted any kind of interest.<<<
Sad to say, but when we bloggers write about the HAMS night and day, some of us almost incessantly, we are showing them interest, quite a lot of interest. The best would be to ignore them, no posts, no blogs, no talking about them etc...the opposite of love isn't hate, its indifference.
But we have invested ourselves by showing our interest. I am guilty of this and I ask myself this question frequently. Why do we pay such interest to these losers? My answer is that I want to see justice...I want to see the HAMS get what they deserve after all they did to the Monarchy, the UK public and even us, who might have believed in their romantic story in the beginning.
Only humor will save us :)
@Swampwoman,
If Nutty's blog disappears, maybe she could post on CDAN where her new blog will be. All of us can check there if it disappears one day.
@Nutty,
Do you think this is a good idea?
May 25, 2020 at 7:34 PM
@JocelynBelllinis that's all well and good but I don't go to CDAN and never have other than what people on here post so if Nutty moved and posted it on there I wouldn't know about it until too late.
As I said in my earlier post, I'm good with any of the options listed so it's Nutty's call as to what's easiest for her. I enjoy reading the posts and scroll thru the trolls. I don't engage in the "fights" between posters. I basically stay in my lane. Like I said, I'm here for the Harkle snark from you lovely, lively, funny, witty and intelligent people and posting just to put my 2 cents in every once in a while.
Have a lovely day Nutty and Nutties :)
Wait a minute... we've been on lock down since March 15. How did Harry make friends with Adele and especially the Silicon Valley crowd several hundred miles away. What complete and utter bullshit. Notice Smeg isn't friends with the in crowd.
He was struggling in LA? FFS! This manchild has never struggled a day in his life.
Well, it has been lovely sharing space with all you interesting and erudite people. Sadly (for me) I'm running around like a squirrel on meth commenting, cooking, doing laundry, trying to do some remodeling work, and doing it all rather badly. I'm missing some of the balls I'm juggling and they have a tendency to come crashing down at my head at inopportune moments.
My presence has been urgently requested by the Other Half to help put freon in a heat pump. (My help will be limited to functioning as a pack animal since I neither know about nor care to learn about HVAC.) Then I shall need to get back to finishing sheetrock and tearing out carpet.
I look forward to reading about the solutions to the world's problems (including but not limited to the Markle and Just Harry problem) later this evening.
Disclaimer: As per usual, my comments/opinions are completely my own and not a reflection of Nutty, her blog, or her opinions.
In no particular order:
I want her cut off from the RF and all British money.
I want the English legal system to put her in her place.
I want those who are blind to her devious motives to see through her.
I want people who are suffering at the hands of their own narcissists to learn from what she does so they can see how their lives are being poisoned by this kind of behaviour.
I want to see her go down in psychiatric history as a Dreadful Example.
I want the threat she poses to the nation's stability removed.
I want her to latch onto such a rich man that she forgets all about us.
I want to know the Truth.
I just gave you a standing ovation. :)
Sometimes, with 700+ posts, it's difficult to go back and reply to everybody, especially when you're in a conversation with a few other posters. By the time that convo is over, I know I sometimes forget to go back through dozens of posts to find who I need to reply to on another topic. I hope I haven't offended anybody by missing a reply to them, and I offer my sincerest apologies if I did. I will try to do better in the future.
@WildBoar,
Bravo!
Apparently the expatriate royal wants to return home for several months this summer, but is meeting a lot of resistance from his wife who knows that would be the beginning of the end if they spent that much time apart.
If she wants to control the narrative, it would be better to go silent for awhile. People will then say what happened to?? It worked very well for Greta Garbo, who admittedly is in a different league than MM.
The only people who have this level of news coverage are leaders of countries which she is not or the Kardashians.
Nothing will convince me that the VF/Vogue cover wasn't just another example of the put your wishes out into the universe, and wait for them to materialise thing that she does constantly.
I'm not sure why she keeps going this route though -- it doesn't seem to ever work out as intended.
that's what makes it so comical. The ongoing "we want privacy" and then 10 minutes later her "friends or inner circle" are alledgedly leaking everything
Thanks for your comments and I’m happy you are feeling well.
Amazon (US) is not taking orders for Lady Colin Campbell’s HM book as of 5 min ago and say they don’t know when it will be available again. They are referring customers to Abe’s Books. (Lucky you, Joyce; thanks for posting they were taking orders. ) I assume Amazon will work out their deal with the publishers soon.
Thanks, Nutty, for giving us a chance to express a preference this weekend.
You are hilarious!!! Thank you for all the laughs. Please come back when you can and keep those gators out of the yard.
@Bluebell Woods
Have you read /Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain? If not I recommend it highly. I was the shy, quiet personality in a house full of extroverts growing up, and my comfort zone has always been in the back of any given room, observing rather than participating. This blog is no exception.
I enjoy reading most of the posts here in Nutty World, including yours. Don’t leave just because you feel overlooked. As someone said a little further up the thread, it’s hard to keep up and respond to all the excellent content.
Here's a Youtube video that takes you step by step to change your screen name. I hope this helps.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SD6YgJjJjg
Lady Colin Campbell's book is now on pre-order on Amazon US. Just a heads-up for anybody who wants to order in the US. I've just placed my order! Can't wait.
Amazon has stopped taking orders. I wasn’t fast enough, Joyce. Amazon is telling customers to go to Abe’s Books. Hmmm. I’m really happy you are feeling well.
Wow! that went fast!I guess I got the amazon pre-order in just under the wire. Thanks for the well-wishes, too!
Trying to delete those two posts. I’m signed in to Blogger. There is no little trash can to use to delete (I’ve done it before.) Any help appreciated.
Lol lol :oD No really, I’m sure they’d be fine about any possibly mishaps, I’m sure they’ve seen a few! ;o) I don’t get fazed by anyone really, we all come into this world as equal and we leave the same. People are people, but I thought the Queen had an aura about her. I met The Queen post Diana, She’s teeny tiny, and much smaller and petite in real life than I imagined her to be (and I’m tiny myself), she’s very quietly spoken, but I’m unable to say much more than that unfortunately. I wasn’t particularly enamoured by Charles, I was a rather transfixed by his hairstyle (very shiny with a weird parting!) and his ears at the time, and the chat was a bit stilted, so I was glad when he moved on! ����♀️
Does us contributing to this blog give YKW `fuel' in that she's getting attention? Does she hate being ignored more than the content of what we write - assuming she's clocked us?
If, OTOH, we stopped making contributions, would it make any difference to her? Or does she go after a) rich organisations that have money she hopes to get her hands on,or b)lone bloggers that she picks off one by one. or c)we're not rich and we're only Little People of no consequence to her but there are many of us, giving each other support? Would she have to play WhackaMole to get us?
If we gave up, would we be achieving her presumed aim for her?
I think we're in a bit of a bind. What does everyone else think?
I see Jocelyn has given you a link to change your screen name. If that doesn’t work, here’s my advice:
Go to your last comment.
Click on the word ‘unknown’.
A page will pop up where you will see the words, “edit your profile” (or something similar).
Click on that, choose your ‘handle’ (name) and you can add an avatar of your fabulous self or whatever you like.
Hope that helps!

HarryMarkle -
I'm sure, quite early on in the HM posts that the author implied she(I assume, rightly?) had a First in Law from a rather prestigious university. Also, in the comment on the preliminary hearing, there were references to what her old professor would have had to say about the solicitors for the Plaintiff. Furthermore the analysis of the judgement dissected what was said with professional skill.
Something that also strikes me is the photos used, particularly those in the earlier blogs. The ones taken inside BP, for example, or those of Skippy's wedding. How many of those would have been in the public domain?(I have raised it before, with regard to the record of the Investiture exhibition and the Garden Party but we didn't get very far). Or her yanking H thro' a doorway - was it to gatecrash the Investiture?
This all supports the hypothesis that she is close to the source or has connections close to the source. Any thoughts?
I sort of thought that about Chrome but it doesn't work for me so I use Internet Explorer because after all, I sometimes cringe at my typos or otherwise mangled comment and want to retract it.
I too feel the author of HarryMarkle is a woman...and a very intelligent one and with an impressive understanding of British law...at least to me she does. I thoroughly enjoy her posts...and the images she has curated. I know Nutty has found her to be somewhat agitated/angry/? if I remember correctly..maybe it’s just that she is British but she does seem to have a ‘dog in this fight’.
Also, loved your ‘wish list’....I want her to go away but the only thing I don’t agree with is she doesn’t deserve a ‘rich man’ unless she has to settle on becoming his sixth or eighth wife*...THAT and everything else on your list would put the world right.
*I’d love to see her become the 24th concubine to the King of Thailand and have to slither up on her belly to be ‘crowned’.
LOLOLOL! I read your boot comment to my partner and said "you have been warned!".
Re: The Harkles stunts. They strike me as two very immature individuals. Peter Pans. Never grew up. Stuck in school. The leaking via friends? School aged stuff. The need to announce endless what we did for _____? School aged stuff . Just my opinion. (I think US version is high school? Senior high school? Junior high school? )
You’re welcome! Just so you know, I’ve changed my screen name from Rebecca B to Golden Retriever. It seemed I was an outlier by using a real name here. No deception intended.
"unless she has to settle on becoming his sixth or eighth wife"-- Perhaps David Foster will be available by then?
Also, FWIW, McFee is NOT liked or respected in Hollywood.
@bluebell,
I'll give that a try with two browsers open. Good idea.
@brown-eyed,
No problem about my name. These things happen.
I don't have a trash can, either, and I'm on Chrome. Now that I think about it I did have a trash can before, but now it's gone. Where did it go?
@Wildboar,
Now you've got e thinking about the Harry Markle blog. I'm going to have to go back and look at some of the older photos and compare them to those that have already been published. It would be great if she had some insider connections.
I do feel that if we gave up, MM would have accomplished her goal. She's trying everything possible to wipe out negative comments about her, even from the little people like us. I also have a hunch that she reads this blog. Just my opinion.
Thanks for the idea, I tried to answer a couple of posts today but the comments box was too far away and everything got lost.
Thanks for the advice. I am signed in under the right name. I have other gmail email addresses, but they would show me under a different name, I think. I’m on my iPhone, so tomorrow I’ll try to figure it out. I’ll try to sign out and then sign back in. The problem is I’m concerned I won’t remember my password, as I set this up in 2001 when I had a blog.
Thank you for responding.
Brown eyes, I ordered Lady C's book a week or so ago . I ordered it only be from Waterstone in the UK. I got a confirmation that my order is confirmed and they will notify me when the book is released and is shipped.”
I am totally jealous. I’m going to keep trying through the U.K. Amazon. I’ve actually been able to order some esoteric books about medieval life there a few times. 90% of the time they kick me off, though.
Lady Colin has a YouTube channel. I listened to a couple of the interviews. She’s interesting and I think she’s smart. I bet she can’t wait for the book to be out.

@glow,
I was thinking of David Foster for MM, too! He'll soon tire of McPhee, and will want a new model, but will MM be too old for him?
I'd love to hear the dirt on McPhee. She's another one who plays the innocent little girl act, but is really a barracuda underneath. She and MM are two of a kind. If you have any tea, please spill!
What a damn cheek!!
