I was out to dinner with an acquaintance this past weekend, a woman in her 20s visiting from the USA.
We spoke about the various events in the news, and when a celebrity name came up in the conversation, she said, "I just don't care about celebrities any more."
Speaking of celebrities - or would-be celebrities - it's a tough time to be Meghan Markle, whom according to a hopeful headline in today's Daily Mail, is the most talked about woman in the world.
Many people are wrapped up in political topics, and many are also struggling with their household budgets or their health during COVID times.
Does anyone care about a woman who doesn't seem to accomplish much, her husband who definitely doesn't accomplish much, and their child who may or may not exist?

A devalued currency
Meg doesn't have much to sell besides fame, but that currency has suddenly been sharply devalued.Many people are wrapped up in political topics, and many are also struggling with their household budgets or their health during COVID times.
Does anyone care about a woman who doesn't seem to accomplish much, her husband who definitely doesn't accomplish much, and their child who may or may not exist?
Three books on the way
There are apparently three books about Meghan on the way - one by Lady Colin Campbell that will be published very soon, one by Omid Scobie (written with Harry and Meghan's input) due in August and a newly-announced one by Sunday Times writer Sean Smith set for publication in November.
A separate book about the feud between Harry and William, due for release in October, will inevitably touch on the Meghan drama.
But the world is moving on quickly. Will there still be an audience for these books by the time they're published?
The Mulroneys are Markled
Ben Mulroney is "stepping down" (was terminated from?) a job on Canadian television, supposedly due to his wife's feud with a Black influencer.
Based on his short "struggle session" video, Ben seems insufferable, but in general I don't think it's fair for people to be punished for what their spouses get up to.
Perhaps Ben has some other incident in his background that we haven't been privy to, or maybe CTV wanted to make a change for other reasons and this was a good excuse.
Meghan's failure to stand up for either of the Mulroneys won't benefit her in the long run, however.
She appears to be quickly running out of friends.
Comments
I have to admit that I ordered Lady Colin Campbell's book from bookdepository.com mostly because the libraries here are just starting to reopen and you have to browse the online catalog, e-mail them your list and wait for the library to e-mail you with the day when they put your stack on a table in the lobby with a post-it note on top with your name. You aren't allowed to go inside. Being a vociferous reader, the past couple months have been torture.
I did previously order a book from bookdepository and it took a LONG time for me to receive it. So I am sure I will be waiting long past June 28.
If anyone wants the book after I finish it, I will gladly mail it to you if there is some way to exchange address information here privately.
Meagan hurt them too but maybe 20%, not as much as a jealous, nitwit influencer in Canada.
Just repeats for nth time how Megsy has no real friends or loyalties.
She is only loyal to the cash she gets from Hapless and Charles. Her attitude is "Thanks for the Sussex title. Goodbye. And f-u."
I've just seen a new MM book will set the record straight: A 'pioneering' new biography about Meghan Markle is promising to 'set the record straight' on why 'the most charismatic member of the Royal Family' has been 'so upset'.
'Pioneering'?? 'The most charismatic member of the BRF'??
The book is by celebrity biographer Sean Smith and will be released in November. MM is described as 'the most talked about, unfairly vilified and misrepresented woman in the world.'. Hmm... Not sure about 'unfairly vilified and misrepresented'. Where does he get that from? Another sycophant. The article doesn't say if the books will come with free sick bags. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to Lady Colin Campbell's book. Not long now.
You and the blog were sorely missed!
Nutty, glad you had some nice summer (and an interesting conversation over dinner - hope both were good).
to the topic of the day - Has M's moment passed?
I think yes. On many levels.
There is the tabloid drama stories to the BRF, her father, her sister, Megexit, the baby photos. What story is left for them to print? the evil identical twin (no one knew about) holding the real MM hostage while running rampant through the world to tarnish her sister's good name?
It is the odd taste left in the mouth about the baby shower, the funny photos of the kid, how despite having access to all this money, somehow she never really gets the look right for the occasion. And yet all the other women around her do.
I do think Covid has a hand in it. People are more worried about their health, their loved one's health, deaths of people they know, worried about do they have a job, will they be able to keep a roof over their head, food, $ for gas for the car and celeb lifestyle (let alone a couple of celebs who are now better getting known for not being royal) is way down the list. If they are interested in things, it is the simply your life, get rid of junk you don't need (influencers: are you taking notes?) and how to continue to get along while we all work from home.
It isn't just that they haven't accomplished anything substantial yet, it's that there is a trail of discarded "this is what we are going to do" like the voice over, the demand to only right kind of HW work will be accepted, the trademark for the still unknown for what charity or the random charity surprise blasts such as the school, the Native American food/jewelry, the grave in SA, the graduation Madonna-like poses video which was not released by the school (initially), the reading a book and the food drop offs in LA where things seem to happen once and never repeated. Much of real humanitarianism is not just showing up for a photo but the day in and day out grind of working in the trenches.
And then, what happens to people around her - her friends don't seem to stay as her friend or they get some really bad publicity (blow themselves up so to speak). I am reminded of the quote from the Wizard of Oz: People come and go so quickly here.
I think that Lady Collins' book will be the highest in sales as it is still the closest to print while the others lag behind (note: Omid said something about how their book is not being reworked which, given their printing timeline now might be really tight now but it could have happened last month though which would make it in the past and therefore not a true lie). I think people will hold off on buying that one as they will wait for the reviews which will tell them pretty much everything they want to know but not pay for it. There will be some sales but, it's like the tv documentaries: really low numbers which got lower with each one and that was all before things really hit the fan. The books might do better for all as an ebook (less costs to the publisher and easier to hide that you actually bought it).
Yeah but wait: there's more. IF they start into something like a divorce, he publically announces he has left and been through drug rehab then it could bring those embers back to a little flame which would never be what it could have been if they had stayed royal and worked out some sort of living in the UK.
And, if she does use this opportunity to get into politics, I think that everyone who has held back commenting, will come out of the woodwork now.
There is something really not right about someone who can't handle another person getting attention. As a brand partner she would be a disaster. Everything from their camp comes with revisions, clarifications, insisting that "the real story" hasn't been told, etc. And yet she is the only public figure I can think of that has multiple friends "talking" to the press on her behalf. When the Tatler story took this same approach, but with Kate, it sounded just like what we've heard from MM's camp several times. BTW I saw on Twitter that Kate fixed roast chicken for William and there was a story about it. It makes MM's roast chicken story just creepy.
People are worried about the virus, their jobs, the economy and not in the vapid twosome.
Yes, I believe MM's time has passed and for the following reasons:
1) As soon as they(she) announced that they were leaving the royal family. Meghan had the potential to be a positive force, and she chose not to work within the restraints of the Firm.
2) As soon as the Queen shut down Sussex Royal and any merchandising attempts using the(a) royal cipher. MM's motives became quite clear - it was all about the $$$$ and not service no matter how many times she stated otherwise.
3) As soon as the footage leaked of the Lion King receiving line and JH shilling for work for Megs. Tacky.
4) As soon as COVID-19 placed the world in isolatation and the Harkles could not just go anywhere and be anything they chose to intrude upon.
5) As soon as the Mail on Sunday said "bring it on" (in legal terms) to MM's suit regarding privacy when her PR firm is seen in action daily in print.
6) As soon as Mm began throwning first her father, then her staff, then her friends under the bus. If I were JH, I would worry.
So much potential ....gone with the wind.
There has been a flurry of negative articles on the Sussexes lately. They are eating their hearts out over the concurrent flurry of positive coverage for the other Royals, who are getting back out there to thank various frontline workers. The Queen's secret weapon, Sophie Wessex, was spotted looking very down-to-earth normal as she volunteered at a food bank packing parcels of food.
Catherine's lovely photos of her husband with their children continue to document this happy growing family, and the recently-released photo of William and Charles taken this past Christmas at Sandringham to mark Father's Day was very touching.
While stories trickle out about the obscene amounts of money Meg is spending on PR, rumor also has it that Harry was spotted arriving back in England over the weekend, solo. On Father's Day, as it happened . . no huge festivities planned in L.A. obviously.
*If* it's true that Tyler Perry's mansion is now currently housing Marcus Anderson & Doria, I can imagine that Harry isn't too happy. Marcus may (seems inevitably that he *has*) played a pivotal role in introducing Harry and Meg through his Soho House contacts . . but what is he doing couch-surfing with the Harkles in their borrowed digs NOW, if they are supposedly so happily married and parenting a one-year-old? I don't know if Marcus is/was Meg's boyfriend or something other (that rhymes with 'simp'), but his presence, whether real or implied has hung over the Sussex 'relationship' like a bad smell. Beyond shady. As for Doria, I imagine she'd love the chance to use Tyler Perry's pool and other amenities for as long as her daughter is grifting free accommodation out of bona fide Hollywood star/F.O.O. (Friend of Oprah) Mr. Perry. In between bouts of changing Archie's nappy, of course.
I think it's all over but the shouting, frankly. The Sussexes have nominally made it as legally married to past the second anniversary, as requested by HMTQ. I think the '12-month review' was to engineer a divorce deal and extract Harry back to the U.K. In any case, Hazza's six-month visa was set to expire, if they've actually been hiding out in L.A. since before Christmas, as has been suggested. I don't think they were ever in Canada, frankly, and that's all been an elaborate blind.
Nothing Meg does is comprehensible, or possibly, even real. We have all been led a merry dance these last two years, and it seems that that was always the plan all along.
I read somewhere that celebs are often emotionally/socially "frozen" at the age where they become famous. I don't know if this is true for MM, but I think she is very emotionally/socially immature, which might explain her apparent fascination with surprises, "sneak peeks," etc. It also appears she targets younger people in her speeches and projects, because I think those of us closer to her age can instantly suss her out.
I think you are onto something here, especially as regards 'child stars'--those that grew up working in show business as opposed to having a regular childhood get hypersexualized/exposed to derogatory adult influences too early for them to handle (cf. Miley, Britney, Christina, Amanda, Demi, the Coreys, Mac Culkin, et. al) while never having regular milestone experiences of childhood. The celebrities who come across as well-adjusted did not have 'early success' but had to work doggedly at their craft and support themselves with 'normal' jobs until well into adulthood. Success that comes too early is not a gift but rather a curse, because those people never learn to function outside of the celebrity bubble.
Meghan was never a star, child or otherwise, but seems to have been catered to by her father as though she were one, and has behaved always like a diva, without the stature to make that kind of behavior, if not tolerable, at least expected. If Meg's first taste of 'stardom' came at the age of 11 in a Nickelodeon video, then her mental age is stuck at 'Pre-teen Mean Girl' age. That early experience taught Meg that she could be the center of attention and be celebrated for her achievements when she didn't actually have to *do* what she claimed--just saying it on camera with a practiced look of sincerity was as good as actually doing the thing, and a whole lot less work. Skating by on the *appearance* of being a caring humanitarian/activist/feminist/vegan (except on the weekends and her birthday and major holidays)/climate change warrior has always been good enough. Why go to all that work, sweat and trouble to actually achieve something when she could simply pay a PR firm to churn out glowing articles about her? If it's in print, with a picture, then it happened, according to Meg's world. I'm not 100% convinced that she hasn't swallowed her own PR at this point and actually believes that she's helped with elephants in Botswana and addressed the U.N. and graduated with honors from Northwestern. Her entire life since leaving her father's house has been a concocted hodgepodge of exaggerations and outright lies, in my opinion. The only authentic syllables ever uttered by the adult Meg are "I'm such a fraud, hahahaha!"
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentrated all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored , and unsung.
(from “Breathes There The Man,” an excerpt from “The Lay of the Last Minstrel,”
~ Sir Walter Scott.)
Same goes for JH, FKAP. Couldn't happen to a more deserving pair.
Scooobie Doo admitted his book's genesis was pre-wedding ergo H&M's 100M demands for everything under the sun while barely working/always plotting were made and met knowing they were leaving for LA.
MM is jumping into politics and putting words into Harry's mouth about football anthems designed to further erode his image in his home country. They attacked Catherine and implied the Royals are suffering from Megxit. As if. Their smear on William launched on his birthday. And these busy bees refuse to cooperate with the press. We wish!
If this continues, it may be the end of the House of Windsor. If so, William and Catherine will be more than fine and it won't be by merching and mooching. More like lucrative positions at reputable concerns, paid corporate and cultural board appointments, legitimate book deals and speaking engagements. They will get without trying what the Harkles plotted while they go down in infamy. Ah, irony.
.
What I find interesting is that Markus and Doria, both of whom helped Megatron plot the physical and mental kidnapping of Dimwit, are now all hunkered down together. You know they are planning something. If Dimwit goes rogue and is indeed back in the UK to stay, then whatever Tyler Perrys` houseguests are planning could very well be light years ahead of the other cruel and spiteful bottom feeding crap Megatron has already pulled off.
Yes, and it’s due to a number of factors:
1. She wants world domination in a cultural landscape that is extremely Balkanized. Most popular “influencers” are young. Really young. LIke Lori Laughlin’s daughter, Olivia Jade. Meghan had her chance with The Tig and it just didnt make it, no matter how much PR she threw at it. Meghan is WAY PAST her sell date. Sadly, she’s too old.
2. She is too ADD or too narcissistic to focus on one concept. The scattershot PR has done more to destroy her than she realizes. Had she stuck with the Eco-warrior schtick, she could have milked that like crazy. All of these attempts at making herself relevant have backfired because she has NO follow through. Why would someone who is passionate about the environment follow her when she takes private jets everywhere? The optics are horrific and yet Meghan hasn’t a goddamn clue.
3. She is absolute pants at picking her targets. She should have learned from her dead mentor, Diana, that you do NOT start trashing people, like Diana did in her interviews. People didn’t like Charles, but her interviews couldn’t help but come across as petty. Meghan, out of what can only be termed as malignant jealousy, started using PR to bash Kate Middleton, a stupid move if ever I saw one. It immediately turned off people who might not have been Kate stans, but it certainly didn’t make them Meghan stans. And also her father. Why oh why did she go there? One picture of that overweight, ill, and sad man and you feel for him. He might not be particularly on the up and up, but look at him! This was a shockingly stupid move, and was the my first hint that her narcissism was pathological.
4. The relentless PR has sunk her. Because it’s been laughably contradictory since her engagement. We’re living here, not we’re living there, no we’re flying to France, no, we’re flying to wherever. Fill in the blank. Her rapacious desire to be seen every single day in one fashion or another has seriously undermined her to the point of yawn, oh, another Meghan story, ho hum. What lie is she telling today?
5. Archie. And this is where I stand on this one hill that I may die on, but I do not believe that she has custody of this child and I do not believe she birthed this child. The absence of Archie, the mountain of conflicting reports about her pregnancy, and her absolute ignorance about said pregnancy had to make anyone who’s been pregnant go “hmmm,” this doesn’t make any sense. The shifting due dates, the lack of protocol regarding the birth announcement itself without any doctors signatures, the.... Whatever. We’ve rehashed that here a million times over. The point I’m making is that people were dying to embrace her and her kid (mostly because of Harry, IMO), and she blew it with all the belly-cupping and coat flicking and the range of moonbumps that went from looking like she was going to deliver the next day to being five months out still. I always got the sense that the size of the moonbumps was determined on that she wanted to wear that day.
6. In essence, there is no there, there. Whatever you may think of Diana, she didn’t pick up and abandon charities at will because it was the flavor of the month. I never got the sense Diana adopted either of those charities because it was a perfect photo op, even though she seemed to also need publicity and realized far soo late that it’s all or nothing. For Meghan, with all her constant, CONSTANT seeking of the camera, it’s all a photo op. Whatever it is, it’s a photo op. People get this now. She had her chance, but she blew it because she’s such a victim of her own narcissism. It’s always ME-ghan, and with all that PR, it’s the one thing that seems true about her.
I get so much out of this blog. I like seeing all the different speculations. The narcissist stuff is of particular interest as I only recently escaped one.
I was really bumming when it appeared this blog might have stopped. Happy it's back!
.
Regarding the wee boy Archie, hopefully he will grow up on one of Charles` estates and become an organic farmer like his Grandpa.
I thought your blog was gone for good, and it looks like I was not the only one who thought the same. If you could just give us a heads up that you're going on a break or vacation and that the blog will be on moderation until you get back, it would be highly appreciated.
So glad that you had some good times in the sun with friends, though! Everybody deserves a break!
Although older demographics have all the money, they are harder to make a loyal buyer of anything. In the eyes of advertisers, they are "too complicated" and so it's much more riskier to invest in them on relatively larger scales. They will invest in them but not on the scale of younger demographics. Hollywood has been churning out Superhero films for that same reason. Women's tastes are "too complicated" for them to profit off of on a large scale. Advertisers main goal is garnering and keeping loyal fans you can turn to for years sometimes decades to come.
The problem for Meg is she is just not appealing to Gen Z and the youngest Millennials. She's double the age of being relevant to Pop Culture. What has she achieved except being born of a certain ethnic background and marrying into a family obsessed with their family line? She doesn't even have an interesting story or a captivating personality.
The only options Meg has of being relevant to Culture the way she wants is to become a popular politician or an elite entrepreneur like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk.
I honestly think she and hazard would have expected the BRF to beg them back and in their drug addled bespoke minds actually think they are way more popular then they are.
I see Markus and Mulroney as two of her "friends" who know so much dirt that they should be feared by her and her dishtowel of a husband. I also want to get Lady Campbell's book to see how much she has skewered them - the other two would literally be ghost written by her to be all fairytale stuff.
Nutty thankyou for coming back, your holiday sounded wonderful:)
Nutty, phew! So glad all's well with you and you've just been enjoying the long summer days in your part of the world. You have been SO missed. I will put my ear to the ground in the part of Hollywood where I have a few (limited, mostly from Suits days) connections. Still, with all the new books coming out, I'm sure Meg is hoping to keep her profile above the waterline. Tough with LA still shut down pretty tight.
Hope all Nutties are well too. Cheers.

Can I second that emotion?
I can't tell you how much I missed my daily *fix* and how worried I was that I might permanently be deprived! 😆
I literally minutes ago ordered the Kindle version. Can hardly wait now. :)
I don't use Amazon very often, so I have no idea if US buyers can order from the UK but I guess there's no harm in trying. Good luck! :)
The pilot did stop for customs and border patrol. This article seemed a bit uninformed. People I know have received their renewed passports and visas recently. Harry could stay for 6 months in the US with a B1 visa.
Oh, that's a shame.
Have you tried Amazon.fr, Amazon.de or Amazon.es or any of the other countries they operate from?
Well worth a try I think and you can usually translate the website to English.
I do think that the ‘Doria moving in’ story was a recycled story in the DM from when they were supposedly looking at a house with a mother-in-law suite, and I do not believe that she is there. First off, they’re not very close, secondly, MM doesn’t need help with a baby that she doesn’t have, and lastly, Doria has her own life. The only reason she’d be there is if she’s being paid to be there to make it look as though MM has ‘someone’ in her life. (Especially someone Black, given that she’s supposedly living in Tyler Perry’s house.) I also wonder if MM/DR are scrambling to get their tax situation in order, since the filing date was delayed this year. How to explain the $9 million in DR’s account, that’s if, it’s really there. But even that, I would think, could be handled over the phone, and would not require DR to move in.
Does anyone remember where they heard about Markus moving in? I’ve seen that mentioned in comment sections a few times, but I wonder if there’s an initial source. That seems truly bizarre to me!
I don't want to breach any copyright laws, so does anyone know exactly how much we can post without getting into trouble? LOL
Not too long to wait then! 😉
Very late here, so Goodnight. :)
That being said, I’d love to read the LCC book when you’re done with it. I’m sure we can find a way to exchange our information (perhaps through Nutty?) Thanks for the offer to share the book; that’s very nice of you.
Also--how would they catch you? At most would be a cease-and-desist from the publisher to Nutty. Now, of course we don't want to get her in trouble but the "desist" part means she'd have to delete it. By which time we'd all have read it.
But also . . speaking of what country you're in, I think the country Nutty is in might have more relevance.
Please bring it on!
Comes from German Quora or something, but rings kinda true.
I also thought your blog had been markled and was so disappointed! So glad that you’re back and we can still enjoy reading the blog!
We should have a plan in case something happens to Nutty’s blog so that we know whether it gets markled! I did a google search and nothing had come up, I was very worried!
I’m with you on that hill Re: Archie. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt in my own mind that Meg was never pregnant. First there were the shenanigans at Eugenie’s wedding, Sporting a maternity coat, And then the five month sized bump in Australia. August to October is not five months. I abandoned any thought or hope that this woman was legitimate In early December 2018 With her solo debut engagement as the Duchess of Sussex at the actors home. I did not understand about merching at that point But once I did it explained why she was wearing a summer dress Two sizes too small Suitable for an 18-year-old debutante At a June garden party in December. No pregnancy bump in the history of humankind has been Square and flat however, And most women who are barely 4 months pregnant did not show a sixth or seventh month size bump and announce to the room that they feel very pregnant today. Much was made of Megan’s background as an actress, But she is a terrible one. Any civilian off the street could do a more authentic seeming job Of acting and this woman who supposedly spent four years studying acting at One of America’s top universities. It is my steadfast belief That Meg spend no more than four semesters at Northwestern, before bailing on it to do with failed to her three week internship with the Argentine embassy arranged by her uncle. I don’t believe that Meg has a BA from Northwestern anymore than I am the Pope. Megs pattern is that she can’t stick with anything more than two years, and usually less. There is no reason to assume that she could’ve stuck it out at Northwestern for four or five years to get an acting degree, because she would certainly be better at it if that were the case. I think she was admitted due to attending an elite high school and because of her fathers connections in the business, but she never finished. That would’ve required a stick to itivness That does not appear to be in Meg's character. She only made it in the royal family, Aplomb job if ever there was one, Less than 18 months. My money is on her quitting or being asked to leave Northwestern after her sophomore year. The drama department would be very competitive, and an Academy award winning writer director father not withstanding, I doubt she could cut the mustard in the program.
I think some time either right before or right after the wedding she engaged a surrogate, quite possibly without Harry’s knowledge or involvement, meaning that if there is a baby, he is not genetically related to Harry. Hence the royal family’s extremely cool response to their newest member. If harry is not the father of any child, Meg is technically guilty of infidelity. I think something went sideways with the surrogate deal, and Meg was never awarded custody of the baby she was counting on. We can speculate all day as to who or what was presented to the world as Archie Mountbatten Windsor on May 8 2019, Or who exactly was acknowledged by the queen as her great grandchild in the Christmas speech. Some behind the scenes wheeling and dealing to which we are not privy, Probably involving treason. I do not believe Any child currently resides with Meg at Tyler Perry’s house. I’m in early literacy specialist, not a pediatrician, but I would wager my pension that the child we saw with Meg in the recent video Was a baby for hire who didn’t know Meg from Eve, And neither was that video shot in California in the midst of a global pandemic.
@Hikari@Button@WW. I'm with all of you. For me it was when she refused the Queen's physicians. What kind of narcotic is she on that she would spurn the best physicians in the country???? For a first (and geriatric at that) pregnancy? All the blather about having a woman or POC or POC woman physician....and yet crickets! Why say you are going against pale stale male and then NOT say who you are using. Privacy ummm no, if you are making a statement about pale stale male you follow through with a name and a picture of who you selected as the anti pale male stale.

I disagree a bit. Here's why:
1) The NW Theater major has lots of sub-areas. We don't know which M did. Might not have been Acting.
2) We don't know M's grades in her major. All we know is she didn't graduate with honors. That's not a biggie to me. Lots of people don't. But maybe she just scraped by. Yet a C-level grad is still a grad.
3) It's kind of hard to claim NW is so competitive/prestigious (which I think it likely is) and on the other hand accept that NW itself would publish stories about M on its website and say she graduated from their School of Communication (Theater is within that school.) It's possible I suppose she changed to some other major within that school but regardless, I think she graduated.
Doesn't mean there wasn't some slimy stuff. Like she got credit for the SA internship but never completed it---got away with not finishing it claiming to be some sort of victim probably. And "earned" grades for doing who knows what. But if any of that happened, she still graduated.
Your explanation for the out of season and ill-fitting clothes --for merching--put an idea in my head. Maybe she chose her Moonbump based on the size of her clothing, rather than on the month of pregnancy she was supposed to be in. I can't think of any other remotely logical reason for the incredible shrinking/growing bump.
Dumb dumb Cats we have captured your IP address and will be suing you on Monday. (USA) Idiot child you. It sucks to be a dumbass idiot and stupid like you. Because then you lose your money.

MeGain’s degree at Northwestern, if it was not actually awarded, is one of the lesser of her cons. A lot of successful actors began a drama degree and ended up not finishing because they were able to secure a work in the industry before they graduated. I believe that people of native ability can certainly succeed without a formal degree, but usually people that dropped out of college Cheerfully acknowledge that fact rather than sustain the fiction that they obtained a degree they do not have. Meg might have finished, and the college seems to support that narrative, a narrative that certainly is in Megan‘s interest to sustain. Perhaps she really did finish, or maybe northwestern was paid off with a donation to the drama department. With her internship in Argentina… That’s sources say she bailed on halfway through after getting sexually involved with a local married man, to the tune of three or four weeks, and all of her parapatetic “Humanitarian” Jaunts That occurred during her undergraduate years. Which would have required at least an additional year to finish The baccalaureate degree, Coupled with the a dearth of graduation photos, Considering how find Meg is it getting her picture taken..We do have her high school graduation pictures, Let’s just say I have healthy doubts that she actually received his diploma from Northwestern. Meg is a proven liar, so she’s really given me no cause to believe she’s being truthful about Earning her undergrad degree. She is a very poor actress in anything that involves her wearing clothing, So I have a hard time believing that she would have excelled in the drama program at a tough school. She tends not to finish things. She went straight from Northwestern to a gig opening a suitcase in a négligée, so maybe Thomas wasted The hundred thousand dollars or so that he supposedly spent on her college education. It’s odd that Northwestern has it knowledged her as an alumna, And she’s now world famous, But there are no photos of her in Cap and gown from Northwestern with friends, Or any explanation on her part why she might have missed her commencement ceremonies. If she were fraudulent about receiving this degree, it would be in keeping with her subsequent behavior, such as lying about having an SAG card in order to get hired for jobs. If someone is willing to lie about other aspects of her life in order to get ahead, it’s quite possible that she would’ve lied about this too. I’m not sure college transcripts are quite as accessible to members of the general public as a birth certificate, But I do not recall seeing a comprehensive list of graduates of her year including her name. At this point if Meg told me the sky was blue, I wouldn’t believe her.
I will join those on the hill for not pregnant (I'll bring cookies Hilkari - chocolate chips, gingersnaps, butter?). That just defied "normal" actions.
Moonbump and clothing: makes some sense. How many options are there? so if there are like 4 or 5, that limits choices but if there are like 18 because there are several companies, that can be like a kid in a candy store.
Graduation from NW. I tracked back the link (from Skippy - back when I read her) and it got me to some site which listed the graduation program/pages from different universities. I could see MM on the NW pages. So I check my uni and it existed/had people listed as graduates. So random uni existing just in case the NW site is a fraud = not likely.
MustyS. Really good point about being able to list the alternative to the stale pale male of HM and why wouldn't you?
Unknown/AquaGirl: why would Doria not go home to her place (where she is supposed to have a partner) at night? Eh, I could see it if it were late, I was tired/not feeling well but that's not a move in reason unless she has something really bad - breast cancer or uterine cancer? It's not like her house is half a state away? (like Yosemite or SF - this is some part of greater SoCal/LA).
Unknown/Page Six: Larcombe nailed it. The comment about how she was used to perfection but that when she joined the BRF, it was all about supporting HM (ie, someone else). That's not just a brick wall, it is a cliff you can't see the top of and that you can't really climb because it has no handholds to even make headway for climbing. Larcombe nailed it.
Tatty, Oz nice to see you again. Haven't seen you in a while, my friend. CatEyes - you always had some interesting ideas which made me think. for that, I am grateful.
Charade - very interesting observation about the who is the target audience. Hadn't thought of that.
Henrietta - My guess (from the quick read back when) was that the split came because it was a potential conflict of interest. And they went with who they had as the longest relationship AND the least problems with about ... reliability for defending. I once explained to my divorce attorney that it was nice that something gave me a slight advantage but that I wasn't interested in paying X/per hour to defend a toothpick sized plank.
CookieShark - Nutty (I thought) did a comment on the idea of Meg being lost in the 80's but I could not find it (I have, otoh, missed walking by copperheads so I am willing to admit mistakes). It was interesting as it was about how she seemed to be stuck in a particular period of time which then she never seemed to move on (am willing to admit that there were some better makeup options in terms of colors back then that just are not available now).
I would be careful about publishing large excerpts from Lady C's book. Copyright laws are quite tricky.
It might be easier, and it would keep you and Nutty out of trouble, if we just posted what Lady C points are or paraphrased her, rather than full excerpts. Lot of books say that no portions of the book can be printed without permission from the author. Also, those of us in the US want to have something new to read after buying her book, but we will have to wait a month longer, so if largeer portions of the book are printed before we get our copies, we'll have paid for what has already been posted by readers.
I wonder if she has a deal worked out with a news source to publish excerpts, as the DM sometimes does?
I'm gladly giving my money to Lady C for her time spent researching and writing this book, and I hope it's a best-seller. I can't wait for my copy.
The graduation picture in this link is supposedly at NW
https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/6177194/never-before-seen-photos-of-meghan-markle/amp/
There are plenty of images of NW commencement programs floating around online with M's name listed but I'm too lazy to search one out right now. Plus those CAN be printed early in spring and people don't really finish. But if a name is on one, that means the person was a senior at the school, not gone after sophomore or junior year.
Here is a blurb from NW about the wedding saying M graduated https://www.alumni.northwestern.edu/s/1479/02-naa/16/interior.aspx?sid=1479&gid=2&pgid=28165
I get there can be payoffs. Personally I really doubt NW took one. If that came out, that would be a disaster for NW. But if NW did take one, how can it be so prestigious and demanding a school that M couldn't possibly have graduated from it? How can it be both? A hard demanding school but also one that will sell its soul/reputation for a bit of gold?
I do agree though she's pulled bigger cons.
As for Meghan and her fading star-that-wasn’t-that-bright-in-the-first-place, I think shr initially thought Hollywood would throw choice roles and projects at her just because she managed to snag a vulnerable, needy, and dimwit prince for herself. Her triumphant return to Tinseltown isn’t looking that good.
The conquering Hollywood scenario hasn’t panned out because she doesn’t have much talent, and from what I’ve read, her reputation there isn’t that great. It’s one thing to work with an OTT demanding bitch/diva if they’re extremely talented and can make the cash registers ring for a project. In a way, they’ve earned the right to be a bit difficult. But for an aging actress whose talent barely registers as mediocre, bitchiness and diva behavior makes most people check the “No thanks” box. There’s younger, hotter women with off the charts talent who can eat Meghan for breakfast.
As another alternative, Meghan’s plans to cast herself as a humanitarian goddess while making big bucks from giving word salad speeches and paying herself and Harry handsomely “working” for the Sussex Royal foundation, was shot down by the Queen. And now the backup Archewell foundation seems to be floundering in the process of obtaining a trademark here in the US. Perhaps this fame and money scheme is falling apart too.
So now as a third strategy, she’s attempting to latch on to BLM and any other racial cause that materializes to try to launch a career in politics and social activism. But her problem is that she lacks credibility.
For years, Meghan was more than happy to take advantage of “white privilege” during her days as a mediocre, aging actress with not much of a future after Suits by listing herself as Caucasian on her acting CV sheet that directors, producers, casting directors review when casting movies, television, commercials, theater, and modeling jobs.
She obviously shunned her black heritage until she realized she could portray herself as a victim and at the same time weaponize it by hurling charges of racism against anyone who criticized her self-serving, greedy, controlling and manipulative narcissistic behavior.
But now, since she started chasing Harry in 2014, when she could use it to her advantage, she is suddenly “down with the struggle.” Uh huh, I’m sure she is.
If none of these work out, the self-described feminist can dump Harry, who, being “male, pale, and stale” as Meghan described men at a speech not long after marrying Harry, who may be hitting the end of his usefulness to her. Meghan could then hook up with a woke billionaire to fund her pretenses until he too is no longer useful.
Speaking of Harry, Celt News has a video up in the last day or so discussing his apparent arrival during the past weekend. She thinks it is either for visa purposes or a divorce and that he misses his buddies in the UK. He was said to have arrived in the UK with old pal Charlie van Straubenzee on a private jet.
Celt News is leaning toward visa purposes and Harry missing his friends and that it’s too early for a divorce because he is still reportedly “smitten” (I read it as still totally under the control of his narcissist wife).
I tend to agree with Celt. Meghan will try to ride out the pandemic and have a second pawn, er bargaining chip, I man baby, and if none of the three options in her life is taking off, then she’ll dump Harry, hope for a huge settlement and write her memoirs, which along with the upcoming Scobie book, will be listed as a work of fiction.
@abbyh good to see you again as well.
I believe people can’t copy lady C word for word, but might be able to summarize??!! Anyone know? I mean, give us the gist of what she says at least.
To be fair, there are no pictures of me for public consumption receiving my undergraduate degree from college either. I don’t think there are even any family pictures. I do have my official diploma and transcripts if there are ever any questions about my education, and the office of the registrar can vouch for me. I wonder if Meg can say the same. If it appears she did graduate, Then Thomas didn’t completely waste his money. I have wondered many times though why a California girl who is so enamored of her hometown in Hollywood, and with access to many excellent state universities in California, UCLA or USC, or Santa Barbara et al...Part of the excellent California state university system, which might have been more welcoming to the daughter of an Academy award winning member of the lighting profession...Why Northwestern? All the way in winter a Chicago, half a continent away from home, And while academically excellent, Does not seem at all like a natural choice for a hometown Hollywood girl interested in the acting business. I’m sure NW’s Drama department is quite good, but seeing as Meg never really seems to have wanted to leave her hometown based on her current behavior, why would she have chosen a Midwestern University so far from home? Her native ability does not seem to support earning a place at a top-notch drama department without some kind of backhanding deal in play. I mean, we’ve all seen how very hard she sucks at her chosen profession. I’m not an actor, and I know it’s a lot more difficult than it looks, But Meg has no discernible talent whatsoever for acting, which makes her ambitions seem all the more pathetic. She wants that what she has absolutely no talent for Whatsoever. How can northwestern standards be that low, not only to graduate her but to admit her in the first place? Exacting ability wouldn’t pass muster in a community theater production of volunteer amateurs. She is certainly no glowing advertisement for the quality of the Northwestern drama Program.
DM comment re the latest book (Sean Smith) to be announced about the brothers and what went wrong:
"This book will solve the toilet paper shortage."
(oh, nasty, nasty)
Nutty, if you give your email address to Charade, then I want to exchange phone numbers. We can be texting friends sharing all our latest thoughts! And, I will give you exclusive tidbits of information about my proud Habsburg ancestry!
@Nutty...why do you allow this Nutty????? Unless of course you condone it. You will hurt your own reputation because I Have laid bare that I gave pleaded with you both publicly and privately to stop this. You have seen my texts, especially today, because I wrote you within minutes of you coming online.
I like some Walkers shortbread with my coffee if you’ve got any of those. Or Tim Tams.
If there are legitimate publications showing Meg as an alumna of Northwestern, I am willing to accept that she graduated, although she displays not even a minimum level of proficiency in acting in my opinion to have passed her courses. Maybe she slept with her professors in order to get a passing grade. I really don’t put it past her. To my mind, there is no way that she had a normal pregnancy and gave birth to the baby we know as Archie. Her life says getting engaged to Harry has been an elaborate pantomime in my opinion that fails in all the details. Despite what Harry’s father thinks, I don’t think c’ struck Describes what we are seeing between Harry and Meghan. Harry’s behavior is bizarre, but I don’t think Love Or even sexual obsession describes what we are seeing now. Harry is probably in the throes of some sort of mental breakdown, brought on by an arranged marriage born out of greed and a desire to eclipse his brother and father at all costs. The longer this charade goes on, the less I understand any of it. It really defies any rational explanation. If harry were decided in love, I could sort of understand and forgive this self-destructive path he has embarked on. I am Not sure if we will ever get clarity, or even if harry I have self understands what he’s doing. I do feel that we are getting close to the end game, though.
https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2017/november/from-wildcat-to-royalty/
The comment section has a pretty funny GIF of the Queen & Meghan ;)
As for the question, has the Markle moment passed? There's certainly more melodrama on its way, whether it's a divorce or the upcoming revelations from Lady Colin's book. Still, perhaps like Lindsay Lohan before her, Markle can generate (or pay for) press but can she land a role? Don't think so.
The acting seems impossible, she's too famous to be believable in a part (even if she miraculously managed to learn the craft of acting. Reality shows, hosting gigs, suitcase holding would be deemed beneath her. Philanthropy requires wealth, and politics .... Well, does she really have the stamina to run for office? Isn't her special word salad of platitudes just more of the same already on offer?
Back in the day, in Hollywood, they would term certain actors, actresses "box office poison." The public just gets tired of certain types, and Hollywood runs on types. Markle has slowly but surely become a global form of poison, if not box office, she certainly has left a trail of broken lives, hearts behind her. The Mulrooneys are the latest roadkill. Her bad mojo will keep her unemployed for a long time to come, in my humble opinion.
I don't know where the discrepancy lies but it opens up the possibility that Northwestern considers students who simply attend alumni too. Some schools and programs do that.
Here is Colbert talking about his graduation story for LSSC:
https://youtu.be/c-ZPvcrXqQc
Here is a transcript of Colbert's 2011 Northwestern University Commencement Address where he states he did not graduate:
https://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2011/06/colbert-speech-text.html
Here's Northwestern calling him an alumnus months before he gave his Commencement Speech:
https://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2011/01/stephen-colbert-northwestern-commencement.html
Regarding Northwestern, I love your posts and point of view, but must disagree with you about Northwestern. I say this as a Los Angeles native, who spent my childhood a few blocks from Immaculate Heart, and also grew up around many of the Hollywood types that crew the movies. It makes perfect sense to me that she would choose Northwestern and be able to graduate.
First off, as an upper middle class Californian, which is where I would place Markle's family status, you're aware that outside Cali most folks picture surf boards, blonde hair and the flash bulbs popping at movie premieres. One way to add some seriousness is an established school. If she didn't have the chops to get into Harvard or Yale, then the second tier Berkeley, Northwestern, MIT, Columbia were all popular choices. Also, the Drama department at a prestige school would not be as rigorous as a pre-Med, Engineering or Business degree, so graduating is well within Meg's ability. Immaculate Heart is actually a decent prep school, (my mom's an alumni). Megs would have good study habits, and the ability to craft a decent essay beyond most public school kids.
Her father, even if he won the lottery, earned an Emmy, is considered crew, not glamorous, even if he was on a successful show. He was a lighting director, basically running the crew that's hanging the lights, NOT the director of the tv show -- huge difference in Hollywood's peculiar pecking order.
Just a little hometown perspective, from an Angeleno.
Also I keep reading here and elsewhere how MM is going to bag herself a billionaire..... Anyone actually know any billionaires?
I do. None of them would ever go for somebody like her. Never. Perhaps - and I'm being generous - a quick roll in the hay to brag about to their other billionaire friends, but as in having a relationship? No way.
The reason she got Harry is not because she's so amazingly irresistible and magical, it's because Harry is a houseplant.
And none of the billionaires I know are houseplants.
`Most talked-about woman'? Maybe - but not for the right reasons.
I did see a headline on a Yahoo item, credited to Hello!, that the H$Ms had not used their titles in their their latest approach to a charity. Has anyone had the strength of purpose to read it? I couldn't bring myself to click on it, especially as there was nowhere to commit my response to writing.
It crossed my mind to wonder if they've been downgraded from the dukedom on the quiet. Getting involved in active politicking, especially on such sensitive grounds, could warrant the ducal equivalent of having one's sword broken and uniform publicly stripped form one's back. Robes torn off and coronet knocked from head?
I could understand the lack of publicity if this was the case - it would detract from the far more important things of current public concern, super-injunction or no super-injunction.
Graduating from Northwestern - how about blackmail?
I still can't get over that she seemed incapable of acting pregnant.
I've no idea if any other Nutties are old enough to have seen the 1974 BBC TV version of Trollope's `The Pallisers'. Imprinted on my memory is the image of Susan Hampshire's heavily-pregnant Glencora, leaning back to counter the `weight', and clearly suffering from backache. True, one wouldn't expect to see a royal lady hold the small of her back and go `Oo-ooh' but MM didn't even lean back...
The only time she walked convincingly to me was after the birth - had someone suggested she should act as if she had a pudendum full of `embroidery'?
That's the way I've always heard the terms used especially in higher education. Alumni clubs aren't composed of only graduates, for example, but of former students.
Northwestern calls M both an alumna and a graduate.
From https://www.alumni.northwestern.edu/s/1479/02-naa/16/interior.aspx?sid=1479&gid=2&pgid=28165
"On May 19, 2018, Northwestern alumna Meghan Markle married Prince Harry...."
And
"Markle graduated from Northwestern in 2003 with a double major in theater and international studies."
Calling Colbert an alumnus was absolutely the correct way to refer to him both before and after his speech. NW didn't call him a graduate in the link supplied by @Charade. And as I said, I do think M is a graduate (and therefore also an alumna.)
One could also call M a Suits alumna as the term can mean former member, contributor, employee, etc.
So my point is, things such as this CAN be done, but a) you have to be smart (and think of an original project), b) you have to do the work, 3) you can’t be running around with a married man and then take off to Spain after a few weeks (or wherever she went.) So I don’t think that her Argentinian experience helped her with her Northwestern graduation. I don’t really care whether she graduated, but I do
wonder how she was accepted with her total lack of acting skills.
And I also wonder why she wasn’t approached by Northwestern to give a graduation speech if she’s so important.
Another source from NWU, this time their award-winning College Newspaper. Fifth paragraph it says "Colbert, who graduated from NU’s School of Communication in 1986."
https://dailynorthwestern.com/2011/06/22/campus/campusarchived/stephen-colbert-addresses-class-of-2011-at-nus-153rd-commencement/
IMHO, Meg being a NWU graduate is still debatable.
OFF TOPIC
I have Kindle on my laptop and unfortunately lost it when my laptop had to be wiped clean a year ago, so I installed the free app again from Amazon last week. I wasn't sure if previous books I had ordered a few years ago would still be there - but they were - so I'm hoping Lady C's book will arrive tomorrow as planned. I'm a little worried though, as when I ordered the book late last night, I asked for it to be delivered to my Kindle PC - yet this morning when I opened my Kindle, I noticed it's named as PC 2 and I now recall seeing that mentioned in the drop-down menu when I was ordering. As I asked for it to be sent to Kindle PC, I'm now keeping fingers crossed that I haven't made a massive dumb error! :-(
If I don't receive it - then it will be floating around somewhere out there in cyberspace!!
IMO the Harkles are definitely past their sell by date now. Hence the crazy shambling with the numerous books coming out. The only thing that sells about them is their story, specifically the "How could she/why the effort would she" fumble the bag so spectacularly part. That is the only legit selling point they have. So they are marketing and monetizing that now.
The other part that sells for their brand is the used to be royal part and IMO that's why H is back in the UK. To get whatever scraps of BRF reflected PR and do whatever inconsequential engagements he can. Remember, their manifesto said that they will do whatever to support the BRF. They will spend part for the team a year in the UK. They will continue support queen and country blah blah. That was the bargain H made for himself and he has to keep his end of it, esp now, as they need the money.
If it wasn't for Corona, they would have been doing an INvictus, TTC, Ascor summer tour for clout.
And since MM has to insert herself into the narrative especially when her husband is begging for more money, I believe she will start the pregnancy rumour mull going full gusto or just get papped while pregnant. A surprise pregnancy announcement is what we can surely expect now that all their cards have failed.
Also gets her out of any legit BLM/political work.
"And I also wonder why she wasn’t approached by Northwestern to give a graduation speech if she’s so important."
My guess it's because Northwestern has hundreds of notable graduates. For example, these actors graduated from NW. All are not acting now (or even alive!) But I'd say all were better known actors in their time than Meghan ever was (or ever will be): Cloris Leachman, Mary Frann, Paul Lynde, Patricia Neal, Paula Prentiss, Robert Reed, McLean Stevenson, Claude Akins, Robert Conrad, Anna Gunn, Charlton Heston, Jennifer Jones...
And even IF we did accept the premise that NW considers her to be "so important" compared to other graduates (a premise I don't accept), she's only been important since she married Harry. She married too late in 2018 to give the commencement speech that year (speaker was world renowned soprano, Renée Fleming-- winner of multiple Grammys, National Medal of the Arts awarded by Obama in 2012, bunches of other awards)
There have been only two May commencements since then.
Speakers were:
2019- Lonnie Bunch, director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture
2020 (virtual) Mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot (probably not a controversial choice when she was selected)
Other notable NW commencement speakers:
Shirley Chisholm, first African-American congresswoman, 1979.
Ingvar Carlsson, prime minister of Sweden, 1991.
Robert Redford, 1996.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 1998.
Walter E. Massey, president of Morehouse College (now President of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago),1999.
None of the above speakers attended NW except
Ingvar Carlsson who attended for one year then returned to Sweden.
Virginia Rometty, first female CEO of IBM, 2015. She did graduate from NW with a bachelor's degree in computer science and electrical engineering. But she graduated in 1979 and wasn't asked to speak until 36 years later.
I doubt we'll see M speaking at NW's commencement...ever.
-----
@Charade-- It's not debatable to me whether M graduated but I did overlook those additional sources. So thanks for pointing them out. However, a mistake about Colbert in a student newspaper is hardly convincing proof of anything. Award-winning newspaper or not, students aren't great about checking sources.
Besides the fact that I don't think NW would outright lie about whether someone graduated for money, it's just not that hard to graduate from a university these days and wasn't in the early 2000's either. I dislike alot about M but I hardly think she's incapable of earning a bachelor's degree.
What credentials does she have to go into politics? Writing fridge magnet platitudes on bananas for prostitutes really showed her depth. Out of all the idiotic things she has done, I found that one to be the grand prize winner.
I'd also like to know what political climate she thinks she is stepping into. Liberals are literally burning down cities, businesses, spreading a virus, erasing history, creating a new 'religion' that everyone must worship, and destroying society.
How are decent law abiding citizens of all colours still supporting this?
She seems to never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

The struggle session reference in your blog post is spot on! Some background:
Starting in the USSR, and then used extensively in China, struggle sessions were used as a tool for social and political control. Public sessions where the ideological impure person would be verbally or physically abused (sometimes killed) for hours on end during the Cultural Revolution under Mao (his wife, a former actress, btw). The target had to confess to thought crimes to ensure his life, his livelihood, and perhaps even his family would not end up in a re-education camp. Interesting parallels to our cultural revolution today.
I await an updated version of the I am Your Sister speech MM gave in South Africa (before she was asked if she was okay). Maybe there will be statues for MM, maybe just more tears. I do not think her time has come or passed for that matter (unfortunately). I think the only thing that will bring the Sussex drama to an end is the Archie reveal.
Thank you! :)
That being said, a woman as vain as Meg and someone who has gone on record lying on things easily proved as false will never get my good faith.
I'm not saying NU is intentionally lying about Meg but I do think it's possible for an oversight or lack of verification. If Colbert didn't go on record saying he didn't graduate, the public would only have direct sources from Northwestern saying he is an alumnus and graduate. That's why NU's claims don't seem as weighty to me. They already have an exception for an extremely influential figure.
(Learned about this from a woman whose exhusband went to Kazhakstan to get a new wife. Since her minor sun still had weekend visits with his dad for a couple years, the woman become friendly with the new wife. They bonded over what a jerk he was and when he did not want the new wife to learn to drive, the former wife just said hey, i'll teach you.)
"CeeMoore posted a link to an article about Harry having to come to the US in a hurry when he quit royalty in March, and the article explained that you no longer get automatic entry if you marry a US citizen."
I'm not sure how automatic it ever was in recent times. But the spousal visa can't be acquired at the last minute. Usually takes about a year. That's why Harry may not have one but he would be eligible. (I sincerely doubt M would refuse to sponsor him.) And that article did suggest he might have come in on a diplomatic passport because it was before Mar 31.
People have also said he's probably here on the Visa Waiver Program. That allows 90-day visits for citizens of eligible countries.
https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/who-can-visit-the-us-under-the-visa-waiver-program-vwp.html
But according to the above link, to be eligible for that program,
"You will not be entering the U.S. via a private aircraft or other non-VWP approved air or sea carrier."
Tyler's plane is private. So who knows. Could be a B-2 Visa-- good for 6 months and can be extended.
I think it's a tax issue if he's here more than x amount of time. I think that's a bigger issue than his visa.
Here's Wikipedia's definition of Theatre Studies:
`Theatre studies (sometimes referred to as theatrology or dramatics) is the study of theatrical performance in relation to its literary, physical, psychobiological, sociological, and historical contexts. It is an interdisciplinary field which also encompasses the study of theatrical aesthetics and semiotics.'
I interpret this as a lot of theory - rather like my degree in Painting - it was more about painting and it's philosophy/political/psychological meanings than about how actually to do it. `Theatre studies' could even cover business skills and the importance of bums on seats, as well as Brecht and Stanislavski.
I had a look at a Wiki entries for various notable thesps from my own alma mater - most read English and only some went on to drama schools before appearing on the professional stage.
I can think of others, not alumni, who honed their skills in their schooldays - I was privileged to see Imelda Staunton's debut as Lucy Lockett, in December 1970 - a school production! She was terrific - star quality visible from the gallery. If my arithmetic's right, this was a few weeks before her 15th birthday.
M isn't so much a Has-Been, she's a Never-Was.
Maybe this is to pre-empt more negative press from tomorrow but today in Marie-Claire - and yesterday in another publication, I think - we were regaled with the story of when MM met William and Kate for the first time:
‘And then William was longing to meet her and so was Catherine, so you know, being our neighbours, we managed to get that in a couple of — well quite a few times now.’
Going on to praise his sister-in-law, Harry continued: ‘Catherine has been absolutely..’, to which Meghan interrupted: wonderful’.
‘Amazing,’ Harry agreed. ‘As has William as well, and then my father as well.' (my bold).
'Wonderful'? 'Amazing'? I thought William and Kate did not give MM the red carpet treatment? I thought the royal family was racist and toxic? So are we to believe that all was hunky-dory then? That MM was gracious enough to find W&K wonderful? I'm confused now... Does she remember the lies she tells? 🤥😳
Many thanks to you and Alice SJ for explaining. It was much appreciated.
I've read that payment can take a couple of days to clear with Amazon and as I ordered it so close to the release date, I may not receive my book at midnight after all. :-(

THE ABOVE WAS ARITTEN BY 'Unknown' or 'xxxxx' impersonating me. the avatar they use is different. Nutty refuses to tell these posters to stop harassing me, impersonating me (a felony) or disparaging my family including my children as their past comments have proven.
This was posted after I asked Nutty to tell them to stop. They do it with impunity knowing Nutty will not delete their comments. Nutty not only has failed in controlling her blog. she is the reason why they can continue to do such awful things. We all know Nutty can and does delete comments she doesn't like (she even completely stopped the virus blog when the fighting got political) yet she won't do one thing to stop these people who call my children names, speak ill of my dead mother's relationship with me, make fun of my cancer stricken brother and that is just for starters.
For those who don't like me calling out Nutty for her complicity on this matter, well you would never had to read one comment of mine about this if Nutty would have stopped this in the beginning. For those who fawn all over Nutty, just remember you are also complimenting the same woman who is letting her blog be used to libel my children, my dead mother and cancer stricken brother and of course a an elderly ill disabled woman who has contributed many good posts here. How would you feel if the same was done to you? Only 2 posters asked 'xxxxx' to stop but many of you told me to scroll past (which did not work) and essentially suffer more since 'xxxxx'. 'xxxx' 'Uknown' and Nutty won't do the right thing and stop it..
Abraham Heschel said (giving rise to "for evil to exist good men do nothing")
"" There is immense silent agony in the world, and the task of man is to be a voice for the plundered poor, to prevent the desecration of the soul and the violation of our dream of honesty. The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the Prophets sought to convey: that morally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible."
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the 2 posters who asked/told 'xxxxx' to stop. If only Nutty had the courage and the milk of human kindness to do the same. You two are to be commended for your willingness to step out and try to right a wrong!

I wonder how she will explain away her mad grinning at the cameraman?
The criminal sw*ne attempted to order rail tickets from Austrian National Railways and a load of kitchen equipment in Athens and, although the bank put it right, I forget to notify Waterstones - too worried about getting straight with my ISP. Talk about adding insult to injury - I'm stuck at home in the UK, going nowhere for the foreseeable future, with my own kitchen in dire need of replacement.
I know I haven't lost any money and am trying to look on the bright side but all I can think is `May they rot in hell' - the bright side is that I can rely on you, dear Nutties, to keep me posted about what Lady C says.
Splash is based in LA.
Didn't someone reckon that `dangling frog' pap walk photo couldn't have been taken in Canada? Something to do with the nature of the ground surface being more like CA than BC?
She dives right into the wedding and gives rock solid confirmation that Meg didn't curtsey at all when she passed the queen after signing the register!
I'm so jealous you are already ready LCCs book! I wanna say I want all the gossip but I also don't want any spoilers. Lol...never been so excited about anything Meg related in forever (except Archie's name reveal, which I thought was a prank at first)
That being said... Umm, didn't we see a super weird curtsy she did post signing the register. It was a blink and you miss it on the live telecast. And HM looked like thunder.
"‘No one could believe it. She walked out, sailed down the aisle, with not so much as the merest bob in the direction of Her Majesty.’ The Queen is not on record as having made a comment or a complaint, but ‘she will have noticed. Everyone did.’"
That's the only excerpt I'll post ;)
Interesting timing re: the "Archie" lawsuit being leaked today when it was filed March 25... 🤔 Deflection from all this delicious tea?
The Queen: ‘Mr Corbyn will find it much more difficult to get rid of us now that Meghan’s in the family.’
@Alice, Surrey James I think Lady C is justified in calling that little bob from Meg NOT a curtsy. There's only one way and it's the right way. The wrong way is not a curtsy.
Here's a clip from an I Love Lucy episode where Lucy performs for the Queen and gets a Charlie Horse while practicing the perfect curtsy.

I'd just like to make a small clarification on your post: all Ben Mulroney gave up was his hosting duties on ETalk (he still gets to cover gala red-carpet events like the Oscars, aka the fun stuff). However, he is still the main host of a daily morning show, which is a much more serious and substantial show than ETalk, which is basically entertainment fluff. I presume that his ETalk co-host Elaine Liu will now be the sole host. Liu is the author of Lainey Gossip, which has for the past two years been MM's relentless cheerleader (while vilifying her critics as racists) while writing vile, nasty stuff about Kate and William.
To answer the question in the title of this post: MM nd JH are basically famous for being famous, as reality stars are. While reality stars initially get a lot of attention, eventually the public gets tired of them, mainly because they have nothing new to offer, unlike bona fide entertainers. I think the same thing is already happening to the dastardly duo.
Tim Tams! It seems like ages ago but I was very excited for Prince Harry's wedding. I bought Tim Tams and champs. I had to work on that Saturday, but I watched the broadcast from a streaming site the next day and had my little party. At the time I didn't know who Meghan Markle was other than she was an American actress.

So sorry for your card woes. Its a trial that's for sure. If it makes you feel better, mine was stolen a number of years ago. The credit card company called to ask me if I was trying to charge $900 (American) at (paraphrasing) "The Happy Valentine Club", in Manilla. I said no and the caller and I had a good laugh. "The Happy Valentine Club" was a brothel.....

Yes, I think Meghan will end her days a la Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard". Waiting for her close up and taking up with desperate men.
I am simply stunned at the 7 million dollars estimate for PR being floated. Does anyone who knows more than I agree with that amount?
She could have paid back Frogmore, paid for her own security, and put a down payment on a home for that amount. I don't see where the money is coming from. Surely merching can't pay the bills during a lockdown.
She is blowing through Harry's inheritance. What a sap. He will be broke, alone and shamed within 6 months.
I guess Nutty has a point... A nunnery down in the Philippines is more interesting than the celebrities this blog is supposed to be about.
Also, what kind of action do you get up to to rack up a US$900 BILL at a brothel in Southeast Asia?? That kind of money goes a LOOOONG WAY down here 😂😂😂🤣
I'm sorry I don't mena to go os far off-topic. But just consider this comment making a point of Mr. & Mrs. Just Harry Markle a devalued currency because damn I'm moee interested in a heauxhouse in the Philippines 😘😘
I cant
Kate said We should have a plan in case something happens to Nutty’s blog so that we know whether it gets markled!
Perhaps we could meet up at "The Happy Valentine Club"
. . . as a Los Angeles native, who spent my childhood a few blocks from Immaculate Heart, and also grew up around many of the Hollywood types that crew the movies. It makes perfect sense to me that she would choose Northwestern and be able to graduate.
I actually never doubted that Meg is intelligent enough to have gotten into a good university--she seems to have been a good student and certainly proud of her penmanship. It seems that Meg was canny enough to be able to charm teachers and administrators who were in charge of her grades and her character references for college, though there are a number of stories floating around that MM might have been significantly less charming to some of her fellow students who felt bullied enough by her and her clique to change schools. Without anyone coming forward to say "I was bullied by Meghan Markle and forced to change schools as a result", that amounts to tittle-tattle, but it seems in keeping with the person who has relentlessly bullied the Duchess of Cambridge through PR flunkies and given her death stares at shared engagements, and we've all seen those for ourselves.
I believe Meg's whip-smartness is compromised by a number of issues which have been discussed at length in this blog; whatever the causes--drugs, ADD, personality disorders, bipolarity--she has demonstrated a lack of long-term commitment and follow-through with her various projects and work commitments since around the time of her college days. I believe she *is* capable of laser-focused intensity until she achieves a goal, which in high school would have been getting into a good university, so she absolutely could have done it. I wonder whether she trotted out her experiences growing up biracial for the admissions essay before she shelving her racial identity again to present herself as Caucasian on her acting CV, or not. It has also been suggested that having a father who worked in the television industry and was an Emmy winner certainly did not hurt her application at all, but I would expect that to have more pull at a California school.
We're certainly made aware of the globalisation of crime.
Thinking of which, a friend told me she'd heard that MM's buddies with someone working for that great, expansionist, People's Republic in the east and that this person has been tasked with spying on her by that particular government we're all a bit anxious about.
My first thought was `James Lau?' but I gather it's a woman, not necessarily Chinese. My friend was wee bit vague and didn't seem to know any more than that. Has anyone picked up on this or has my friend got it all wrong?
On a brighter note, I've just found a new Harry Markle, dated 22nd June, - I'd thought as everything had gone quiet for a moment and there wouldn't anything posted. It''s an updated timeline and consideration of what the hoax/plot might be.
As first reported in the Los Angeles Times, Prince Harry and Meghan have chosen the New York-based Harry Walker Agency to represent them, as they carve out their new roles after stepping back from royal life in March.'
In case you were wondering about these new roles, 'It's understood that the couple will be engaging in keynote speeches with trade associations, corporations and community forums in future. Harry and Meghan will reportedly continue to focus on social issues such as racial injustice, gender equality, mental health and environmental concerns.'. Same old, same old.
First off, as an upper middle class Californian, which is where I would place Markle's family status . .
I know Meg's dad worked in television, on a hit show, where he was probably decently paid, and had some lottery winnings--which he lost through poor investments and having a very high-maintenance daughter . . do you feel that 'upper middle class' is slightly high? Certainly for the circles Meg aspired to . . all those children of Hollywood royalty that attended Hollywood High School and lived in Bel Air . . she demonstrably did not *feel* upper middle class. I think the Markles were certainly comfortably off, or at least lived as though they were, but given Thomas's sad decline . . so broke he had to move to Mexico to afford to live . . I think we can say that he spent far beyond his actual means, most of it on Meghan. He was still supporting her even after he'd put her through NW. Meghan has lied about putting herself through school--Thomas has the receipts--so I am suggesting that *if* Meg had not quite finished her degree yet claimed she did, that would be in keeping with the character of the person we have come to know now. Meg's version of the truth is always the most expedient one. I have been assured that there's proof emanating from Northwestern that she is an fact an alumna of the Class of 2003. I still think it's a bit out of character for Meg to not have shared any happy snaps of herself in cap and gown with her besties Lindsay Roth and Benita Litt to illustrate this life milestone when she was busy burnishing her life credentials for the Royal family. Surely some pictures would have been taken and shared amongst these girls on their graduation day, if they were that close.
That's the problem with habitual liars--it becomes hard to accept that anything they say is true . . even the true stuff.
you're aware that outside Cali most folks picture surf boards, blonde hair and the flash bulbs popping at movie premieres. One way to add some seriousness is an established school. If she didn't have the chops to get into Harvard or Yale, then the second tier Berkeley, Northwestern, MIT, Columbia were all popular choices. Also, the Drama department at a prestige school would not be as rigorous as a pre-Med, Engineering or Business degree, so graduating is well within Meg's ability. Immaculate Heart is actually a decent prep school, (my mom's an alumni). Megs would have good study habits, and the ability to craft a decent essay beyond most public school kids.
I'm well outside Cali (born in Michigan, raised in Ohio) so yes, I'm aware of the beach bum reputation, and had it myself. But then I became aware that the state university system is really quite excellent, and that one can't really be just a surfing airhead and get into the competitive programs at UCLA or USC. Meg is so fixated on her hometown, it's just surprising that she wouldn't have chosen one of those, where her father's connections might have been even more useful. The appeal of those schools to an aspiring actress is being right in the thick of the industry and being that close for auditions and introductions--just the kind of networking environment Meg thrives on and used to her advantage later on. As good a school as NW is, and though Chicago has a vibrant theatre community and there might have been opportunities to get film work in Chicago . . it would be difficult to network in L.A. from there. If Meg has always been focused on being a big fish in the L.A. pond, it's surprising that NW was her choice. If NW is in the same tier as UC Berkeley, why not there? Or UC Santa Barbara where Gwyneth Paltrow attended for one semester before dropping out, to the displeasure of her father. I guess Stanford might have been a stretch.
I'm sure NW is a great school . . but I have been to Chicago in the winter. -9 degrees with a windchill in the -20s with the wind off Lake Michigan . . it would have been a huge adjustment for a SoCal girl who isn't that fond of heavy clothes. I'm a lifelong Ohioan who has lived up on Lake Erie in the wintertime and even spent a stint in the snow country of northern Japan, and the winters in Chicago . . Muscovites might complain about their brutality, is all I'm sayin'. They would have been good practice for Meg's eventual sojourn in Toronto--but Toronto winters ain't got nuthin' on Chicago ones. If one had ambitions to be a theatre actor the city that's home to the Steppenwolf Theatre Co. and Second City and hometown to some of America's very best acting talent certainly has things to recommend it. Meg doesn't have chops for the stage and I doubt very much she ever saw herself in that segment of the business. Not glamorous enough for her.
The end, I promise!
Well, exactly. Which is why I dispute a bit that the Markles were 'upper middle class' by the standards of Los Angeles, or to be honest, anywhere. Tom had a nice tidy packet of money for a little while, but he was not able to hold onto it very long and grow it into security for the future. Which is why he is now broke, sick, alone and living in Rosarito. I feel incredibly sorry for him, really. His parenting and marital failures have exacted a heavy toll. How like a serpent's tooth it is to have an ungrateful child, and all that.
I appreciate your hometown gal perspective on Megsy. Are you still there? The news coming out of California makes it sound like the Golden State isn't so golden these days, and that was even before Covid-19.
What do you think about Archie suing the Splash for "privacy violation" with Megsy as his "litigation friend"? She must be finally out of her mind.
The babe will be fit to give deposition no doubt in loud and clear voice.
What are they taking?
Sources confirm Harry and Meghan have signed with @hwaspeakers for discussions and speeches with trade associations, corporations and community forums. Topics include racial justice, gender equality, mental health, the environment. There are no plans to speak about the Royal Family.”
The official Northwestern Commencement program is online and Meghan’s name is listed as graduating. You don’t have to attend commencement. I did not attend my college graduation; it is not required. Maybe she hurried to CA to start looking for jobs or maybe she did attend. I do not believe Northwestern would take a bribe from her. And where would she get enough money, even if they were receptive. MM could have easily made Cs for grades. Grade inflation is rampant everywhere, including prestigious universities. You have to do very little to make a C.
I am so happy Nutty is back and I appreciate being able to read @Hikari and other posters.
On the face of it, she sounds like Canada's answer to Katy Hopkins, given Wikipedia's reference to her `racist, homophobic, transphobic and misogynistic writing'. What do you make of her?
I think my friend referred to the `spy' as a `female journalist'.
Archie Legal Action Case.
I'm chuckling at the thought of Meghan at MIT. I'm sure many of those top nerds will go onto brilliant, lucrative futures . . can't see Meg in that setting to save my life. Numbers don't seem to be her strong suit judging by the way she runs through money, hers and other people's. Numbers aren't my strong suit either, and I have only my own pitiful salary to run through.
It's my understanding that while Meg lists herself as a 'double major', Northwestern doesn't really offer an international relations major as such. There is coursework, but it falls under the political science faculty and a student may get what amounts to concentration in IR, but not a full major. Meg's commitment to her international relations career seems lukewarm at best, having bailed out on her Argentine embassy internship--it was only slated to last 6 weeks, and I think she only managed to stay for 3 of those, adding new layers of meaning to 'international relations' when she began an affair with a local dignitary within a week of her arrival in Buenos Aires. Meg has always seemed to make herself new friends very easily . . and rapidly.
After failing the diplomatic service test, she displayed no interest in re-sitting it, opting instead to audition for Deal or No Deal. Meg's mixture of hi-lo aspirations and styles seems quite unique to her. Did she *always* intend her 'international relations' piece to be just something to list on her resume to make herself seem more appealing as the 'celebrity humanitarian that cares about world issues' . . or did she ever genuinely imagine a career in the diplomatic service? It seems to have been both too hard and not glamorous enough to suit her, which we could also say is what tanked her interest in being a Royal. It's been the theme of her life. Meg wants the star treatment, 24/7, with none of the effort that it actually takes to become a celebrity that can command that kind of lifestyle and entourage. As she's discovered, marrying into wealth and stardom does not automatically confer the kind of lifestyle Meg thinks she's entitled to.
Well quite! What we have is a Z list actress and a pampered Prince who have neither the qualifications or experience to lecture on anything other than the art of whinging!
Good luck with that! :)
No such laws in LA. If she or Archie....were so worried about their privacy....
There's definitely something going on behind the scenes. Sounds like she got in trouble with the RF for doing the pap walk.
I guess lawsuits will be how they make their money.
Is it true that Master Archie is suing the papps? Huh? How can a minor child bring a lawsuit?
OMG, the wheels are really flying off in all directions now, aren't they? If Harry's left her and gone back to England, for however long (let's hope permanently but that's probably too much to hope for) she must be howling and gnashing her teeth. If she were to strip naked and run through the Hollywood Hills screaming like a banshee, that bid for attention wouldn't be more blatant than this. I think she's coming to the end of her marbles and there must be only a few left rattling around in the bag.
If Harry is in the UK, it could be a command visit removing his title or funding (wishful thinking). Perhaps the RF could pressure immigration to deny a visa ( more wishful thinking). Perhaps they wanted JH in the UK to protect him from fallout of the new book or MM reaction to the book.
Wonder if the Archie lawsuit is MM idea. It could make history! The first time a doll initiated a lawsuit. This would open up inquiries and testimonies on all things Artificial. Perhaps it was prearranged for PR to be dropped later. Suing a pap would hurt MM. Unless is it a shady tactic by the RF to out MM's pap relationship
I wonder whether she trotted out her experiences growing up biracial for the admissions essay before she shelving her racial identity again to present herself as Caucasian on her acting CV, or not. It has also been suggested that having a father who worked in the television industry and was an Emmy winner certainly did not hurt her application at all, but I would expect that to have more pull at a California school.
@Hikari, I think it’s likely Meghan used the race card to increase her chance of being accepted at Northwestern under affirmative action.
It’s fairly clear that Meghan was not a brilliant student in high school or college. If she had been outstanding, she would have made sure the entire world knew about it by now. She was likely mostly a B student in high school with As in easy classes where she could schmooze the teacher.
She was probably more about partying and networking to make sure she was part of the cool kids group, which translates to her adult desire to be an A-lister in Hollywood. That’s why we see so many photos of her with “friends” from high school and college. She was busy socializing and networking. She was likely already quite narcissistic by high school and certainly by college, so cultivating transactional friendships would have been her norm.
And speaking of college, Meghan made sure she rushed Kappa Kappa Gamma, a sorority whose chapters all over the US are known for attracting social climbers. In Hollywood, Thomas might not have been high on the food chain of status in LA as mentioned in a comment in this thread by Miz Malaprop, but I’m sure Meghan rode her dad’s occupation, his Emmy win, and his ties to tv shows that everyone was familiar with to elevate her own status at school, especially at Northwestern where they weren’t familiar with the Hollywood pecking order.
Glad Nutty is doing well and took a break. We all need that from time to time. Step away from the computer and take a mental health break!
Meghan is Desperate with a capital D. She's now into the "Any attention is good attention" realm. The books are coming out and I'm sure she is dreading some of it so she has just decided to add to it with all these publicity articles mixed in with the publicity for all the books. Throw it all in the air and see what falls down. Keeps her in the press. I feel bad for William and Kate, always dragged into H & M's endless b.s. I always wonder, what will finally go too far for Charles and William? Harry can only say so often "Those are junk articles" and have Charles and William believe it. Since Charles and William have both been on the receiving end of those types of articles, they probably believe it to some extent.
The lack of public acknowledgement of Will's birthday and Father's Day was telling. Not that H & M have to send accolades publicly, but they could have improved their public image somewhat by posting some niceties.
A part of me thinks Meghan just doesn't care anymore. She is going to use publicity now for money and that's about it.
The fact that Harry allows Markus to constantly hang around Meghan is pretty stupid on H's part. But then again, he believes everything she feeds him, so.... I get the solid vibe that Markus and Meghan are 'special friends'. As for Doria, I think she probably follows Meghan around. She seems to be an easy mark for her daughter. I imagine these meetings she has with Harry, Markus, Doria and whomever else. OHhhh to be a fly on the wall. Massive stupidity.
Any further information from anyone about this trip Harry took to England this week?
Re. Megsy's graduation from Northwestern . . I had my doubts, but as there appears to be corroborating documentation from the university, I will accept it's true.
As I said to Miss Malaprop in an earlier post, the trouble with being an habitual liar is that after a while, people start disbelieving the stuff about oneself that is true . . and that's where I am with Meghan. She's told so many lies & half-truths, and embellished what modest accomplishments she did have--all with the aim of making herself look more substantial than she is--I'm sure you can understand why I would doubt her.
I don't think people change their stripes overnight to become different people, for either better or worse . . Meg's tendencies toward self-promotion at the expense of truth didn't just spring up fully-developed only *after* she got a job on Suits. I think those tendencies have always been there, it's just that until she had a taste of success and had the means to meet more of the people she wanted to meet and pay firms to publish glossy lies and half-truths about herself, her negative personality characteristics were only known to a much smaller circle.
She's inflated her abilities and achievements so much, whatever she's done that's real and admirable on its own merits gets lost in the embellishments.
I always wonder if she is really compos mentis. She doesn't seem to realize that using her own child in this ridiculous lawsuit nullifies their claims they were seeking privacy for the kid.
In fact it nullifies her own claims about desire for privacy.
Goodness this woman takes the definition of hypocrisy to the new high. I have never seen anything quite like this in my entire life. May God keep us from encountering such people, and this is a truly heartfelt plea!
I would say that switching majors, and the names of these two majors (or concentrations, more likely) seem entirely plausible in the US college system. I think where we got derailed on this topic is that she lies about everything, so why would believe this?
Lying about being pregnant is an enormous lie, and sufficient!
As to political ambitions, she could on ly play a small supporting role. US press can and will dig up and publish any dirt, secrets, etc. Can she really withstand that kind of scrutiny? Noooooooooooo.
Also interesting that Harry the Father is not part of this lawsuit (or wasn't mentioned). Come to think of it, Harry is rarely mentioned in any of their PR releases, or barely mentioned. That must really burn him. He was jealous of William because he, Harry, was not the star. Now his wife thinks she is the star and treats Harry as the spare.
Let me get this straight Meghan. Your having Archie sue Splash news for completely posed Pap pictures while in Canada. In those pics, not only does she not look surprised or startled in the slightest, she's smiling, posing, smirking up a storm. Even the RPO officers behind her didn't look surprised and they made no move to intervene and stop the photography or even check out what was going on ( I could be wrong about that, but I'm going according to memory). And how long ago was that?! Now it bothers her. She just wants money, in any way shape or form.
1) the lawsuit involving archie and Meghans photos. Dead in the water. PR ploy, victim story narrative, waste of money. There has to be a reason for this, and the only reason I can see is a) PR, b) deflecting blame for her choices to call photo agency 'via a friend' to the RF c) breaching a contract with the RF involving archie
2) Harry in the UK. More than likely as they are about to announce a ban on those coming in from the USA and he had to renew his visa.
If he is in the UK, and doesn't have a working visa for the US (which doesn't seem to be the case, we will find out), he cannot come back into the US for 6 more months. This could be why they purposefully misfiled the Archewell application (to give them more time to pull things together, the misfile gives them 6 months in the US to remedy the concerns, and 2 months in the UK, so August). US immigration is not something they can afford to mess around with and they have to stick to the rules. Even a special working visa would require him to reside and pay taxes in the US, so this is unlikely, as well as a spousal visa, which would require Harry to do the same. He must be on a 6 month visitor visa, and that is a max 6 months per year in the USA. Quite a headache, I doubt they were prepared for either.
The wait times for Visas (around a year) and new corona restrictions are a BIG problem for Harry and Meghan.
3)Harry will never lose access to his trust funds. RF 'working' funding, yes. His trust funds aren't that large (look at Andrew's problems for further insight). The real money goes down the line of succession.
4) So many lawsuits. It's getting silly at this point, but looks to be the way Meghan is trying to convince Harry she is on 'his side' with things and how she wants to support them. They are going to lose most if not all, so it's a distraction.
It also looks like she is setting herself up to sue the RF over 'royalty' being used on her merch. - My speculation, but it seems spot on with how she wants to approach her future. She also has nothing to lose, so it's very likely. She will just tell Harry she is suing the 'establishment' not his grandmother.
A lot of skeletons are going to come out over the next few months. It won't be helpful to her. The german documentary on her PR set-up is going to be a wild ride, and something I'm looking forward too more than the Book tomorrow. It's going to show the world she's not a damsal in distress, and is actually playing ball, rather poorly (which she doesn't want the public knowing).
I’m not terribly surprised there was no acknowledgement of William’s birthday from the Harkles, but I was quite surprised that there was no words from Meghan to gush about Harry on his second Fathers Day, which was last Sunday here in the US.
Normally, yapping about Harry would have been a natural way for Meghan to grab some attention. Even though Harry was supposedly traveling back to the UK last weekend, I am still astonished she didn’t make any public pronouncement. Attention is the mother’s milk of narcissism.
Did I miss anything?

This is what this link https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2017/november/from-wildcat-to-royalty/ says:
“From Wildcat to royalty
2003 Northwestern graduate Meghan Markle to marry Prince Harry”
November 28, 2017 | By Kristin Samuelson
“Evanston - A Northwestern University alumna made international headlines Monday when news broke of Prince Harry’s engagement to American actress Meghan Markle.
Markle graduated from Northwestern in 2003 with a double major in theater and international studies. She was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
The British royal family announced the engagement in a statement Monday”
Snipped
The university publication uses the word “graduated” more than once, so that is enough for me to know she did indeed graduate from Northwestern.
Thanks for that info on the visa situation. I'm positive H & M never thought they'd have to deal with any of that.
Yes Harry will always have money but not the BIG money Meghan is looking for. She wants global money and fame as she always talks about.
I can't wait for my Lady C book! Pre-ordered baby!
The real Colbert explored his ancestry this year for Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates’ PBS series Faces of America and found out his DNA is entirely European — Irish-German. “I am the inescapable black hole of white people,” he quipped.
Where does the TV Colbert come from? Northwestern friends see a direct line between Colbert’s work at Northwestern and his late-night character.
As a senior Posner directed Colbert in a Northwestern production of Mark Leib’s Terry Won’t Talk. Colbert played a high school principal, says Posner, “very much a cigar-chomping, blue-blazered, high-status idiot. So it was territory he was already exploring as far back as then. Like now, he could play fairly reprehensible people in a way that you still really liked them.”
(In fact, Colbert performed soon after graduation in a tiny Chicago production of a play focusing on the feminist struggles of Susan B. Anthony and Joan of Arc. A reviewer noted Colbert, “who plays the marshal, the judge and other openly hostile characters, makes them all seem intelligent and dashing, not despicable.”)“

Tangent, sorry, so back to the Suing. It might be another covert way she thinks she is controlling Harry. Basically by talking to lawyers all the time to 'save her', it would give her more emotional ammo to use against Harry.
He can't 'protect her' from all the bad in the world and can't 'give her what she wants', so she's having to turn to others. I'd place money on that being apart of all the lawsuits. Helpless Harry.
Her whole m/o is about 'other people' 'friends' 'blame shifting' 'crazy making', so convincing Harry he is at fault and 'not good enough' on an emotional, and real-world level, would be par for the course of how she engages the world. It's how she got him anyway, he was convinced she was out of his league. Which says all you need to know about Harry's self-worth.
He did graduate, but not at graduation. At graduation, he had received an incomplete for a project from his last class, so he had a blank diploma that said “see me”. They withheld his diploma until he tuned in his project, which he states in the you tube video that he did complete.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=c-ZPvcrXqQc
So in fact, Stephen Colbert does hold a diploma from Northwestern University. He is a graduate.
The sucker is still bewitched by her.

I knew there was no reason for Harry to be in the U.K. “his visa expired” was a rumor. I’m rather certain he is in the US on a 6 month B2 visa. He may have to return at some point, but my guess is they will go back as a family.
1) She looks huge in that photo
2) Looks like another piggybacking PR ploy, copying the RF. Sophie of Wessex did this same thing last week. https://people.com/royals/sophie-wessex-is-royal-familys-behind-the-scenes-volunteer-amid-coronavirus-pandemic-shes-involved-in-everything-so-nurses-can-eat
