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 think it’s possible there was a surrogate, but I think Archie looks like Meghan, Harry and Thomas, so I believe he is the biological offspring of HAMS.
I’ve also considered what others have said, which is Archie is 42 days older than May 6 in that is when his birth was able to be registered. We cannot overlook that Archie’s birth was registered properly in England. You can’t gef around this.
At the end of the day, I believe Archie is a big kid and simply looks older than he is. I could be wrong, but this is where I’m at now.
If they used a surrogate, it would not have been in England or New York, but in a palace that has iron clad surrogacy laws in favor of the biological parents and not the surrogate.
If she is spreading that rumour and it is not true...The damage she does in the world can never be adequately addressed.
Thank you all for sharing the snippets!
I wonder if Splash will defend itself by showing how many times she called them. Will Harry finally see her duplicity?
Lady C does say that it was on their tour of Australia.
"Meghan Markle claims her father sexually assaulted her"
Holly Pineapple, did the halfwit really believe people going all goo about this claim as Harry apparently did?
I have no words left to describe this woman. Poor poor Thomas Markle. I don't believe for a nanosecond her allegations are true. She sang praises to him in her blog posts!
I'm enjoying a history lesson as I read...
Spoiler Alert: Meghan sent a friend to Lady C to tell her that she was sexually abused by her father when she was a little girl
She lies about everything so I knew she would bring this lie to the table ....what took her so long? Her father was at her Trevor wedding and probably paid for a good deal of it. Trev's family is loaded so I doubt Thomas paid for all of it.
Cast takes longer because you have to pour into the cast and it has to set and cool just right. One of my cast rings had to be redone because after 3 days, there were too many bubbles in the platinum, which created doubt about its durability.
Yes, you can make wax models, but personally I skip that step as I don’t feel I need it.
And also, yes, I worked with one man who was wishy washy and couldn’t make a decision to save his life (we call it analysis paralysis). He took 3 months to make a decision about what he wanted.
The biggest issue in having a ring made is, how long is the queue? Once you give a sketch or idea a go, you then get moved into production queue.
I’m going to guess Meghan’s ring is hand forged, so once Harry decided, that ring could have been done in 2-3 days, including quality control, polishing, etc. I would imagine he jumped the queue or was able to if he wanted.
For anyone interesting in this side note, Victor Canera is an AMAZING jeweler in downtown LA who does hand forged jewelry. Here is an article about him and his process: http://voyagela.com/interview/meet-victor-canera-victor-canera-downtown/
I don’t necessarily believe that Harry had the ring made. He avoided her like the plague for approximately 9 months, then was blackmailed at IG, then she moved (uninvited) to London. I’ve always thought that she lived at SoHo House, not Nott Cott. Would it be such a stretch to believe that she provided the ring, along with the ‘Diana’s diamonds’ detail, and the ridiculous roast chicken proposal story? Not for me.
"That Welsh gold belongs to the Queen, and it's very precious since there is little of it. So Royal engagement rings belong to the Crown, not to the bride."
As I said before, I believe the precious Welsh gold is used for the bride's wedding ring, not the engagement ring. Diana's engagement ring was not set in Welsh gold. She chose it from a tray of rings sent over by Garrard's. The Queen's engagement ring isn't Welsh gold either.
I don't see why the RF would have a claim to engagement rings unless there was a pre-nup agreement.
I agree M's ring looked better with the plain band. The redesign looked tacky to me. But it was more like her ring from Trevor!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=leSJsWuZgxs
Please excuse my indulgence.
If true, then no wonder Harry viewed himself as her protector; it would be how Harry excuses all of her behaviors/acting out. It’s also why Thomas would perhaps be willing to testify and speak against her—because if a daughter would do that to you, then on some level you know there is no relationship left to salvage. I have always wondered what more there was to the story that Thomas would finally, after all those months of quiet and apparent devotion during the engagement, act and speak out. Perhaps this would explain it. And if true, I wonder when (if) he was ever told that Meghan dealt him that lowest of blows. There really is no worse accusation from daughter to father.
@Tatty
It would take more than 250K for me, too. I know I got strong disagreement when I joked that I would chip in to help fund whatever NDA-breakage penalty for JM to out with the truth, but in all seriousness, I would do so for anyone for whom 250K was enough to agree to stay silent after being treated that way. Do we think it was Melissa Toubati, the assistant who resigned and got the unusual statement of support from the RF?
@Miggy
Thank you! This is a treat. I trust that all of us who can will still purchase the book. I expect we all want it to outperform the other titles.
@Nutty
Glad you’re okay.
"What people on the outside looking in might not realise is how very much the human factor counts in this story. People close to Harry are genuinely worried that he could suffer a total mental breakdown or even commit suicide if his relationship with Meghan should be threatened or fail. A psychologist who knows him told me that he displays all the symptoms of someone who is co-dependent. If Meghan is addicted to success, Harry is addicted to her. People like Nikki Priddy believe that Meghan is tough and will sacrifice anyone or anything if they stand in her way; Harry will sacrifice anyone, including himself, to maintain her regard and remain by her side."
The tea throwing episode is one of several regarding MM's staff leaving, Lady C just says 'while on tour' so, yes, we can infer it was in Australia.

Well, Meg has lobbed the worst grenade in her arsenal of lies. This allegation is every father's worst nightmare, particularly if he is innocent. Thomas overindulged his little girl and, deleteriously to her future character, allowed her to participate fully in the vain, vapid, looks-obsessed, hypersexualized culture of Hollywood, where young teen girls are encouraged to get boob jobs and dress like junior prostitutes. Those dresses Meg wore to her dances at a Catholic girls' school left very little to the imagination and wouldn't have been out of place on a nightclub stage . . and she was 16. Tom would have bought her those dresses and all the makeup and the cosmetic surgery and encouraged her fantasies of stardom by taking her pictures over-much . . but this? I absolutely do not believe it.
Wonder how Samantha is taking this? Despite the messy divorce and Tom's parenting failures and the older kids' dislike of their step-mum and their spoilt half sister, Sam has always defended her dad and loves him. If Samantha had an axe to grind with her dad, she could have garnered some attention for herself before now with a similar claim, as men who do this tend to have patterns.
Meg has sunk as low as she can go now, there is no further sub-basement she can drop to. In her litany of victimology, this is the biggest gun of all, and she's been saving it up. I wonder if this allegation is because of the Mail on Sunday lawsuit? At last check, Meg is losing badly and several of her charges have been dismissed. If this suit is going to vindicate Thomas and prove that she lied about not disseminating that letter to the press on her own, an allegation that he sexually abused her is a pathetic tactic to discredit him at the 11th hour before the judgement is handed down. Any man who'd shamefully abuse his little girl could easily take money from a newspaper to print private documents, couldn't he?
She is vile. It would have been so much better for the world and anyone who she has touched if Tom and Doria had never met and created her.
She's vile for doing this, but it also doesn't surprise me. Seeing as Thomas has never met Harry or his grandson and let's be honest, is never going to, I wondered at the time of the wedding what ruse Meg had used to dissuade Harry from pursuing contact with his father-in-law. How to explain that he was completely unacceptable to have at their wedding?
Bingo. Mission accomplished. Harry would not want his wife or his child around a dangerous, disgusting pedophile, and Meg doesn't have to worry about Tom bonding with Harry over beers and spilling all the little secrets about her which he knows, in vino veritas. Thomas is not a sophisticated man, and I don't think he is used to the level of subterfuge that is Meg's every day life. He might let something slip that he's not supposed to unintentionally. Also if Tom was an abusive parent, Meg's complete lack of contact or financial assistance now could be framed as self-protection against a pedophile rather than selfish disregard for a loving father.
If Thomas did what she's now claiming, why did she praise him and write loving letters and posts on the Tig back before anyone knew who she was?
Liar.
Regarding Harry. Part of the narc’s playbook is to keep their victims unsure and constantly on edge. H. Tudor has done a number of fascinating posts on the narc personality and their consistent campaign to whittle away the esteem of their significant source of fuel (because that is what Harry is) because it keeps the victim attached to the narc. He even has a series of commentaries devoted to Ms. Markle. I think he gets some things wrong because he believes (or used to believe) that Markle was actually pregnant (and this is also a standard narc practice of using children as pawns in their games with the narc), which you and I don’t believe is true. But the rest of it is out of the classic narc playbook. Narc’s victims aren’t happy people once the initial love bombing is over. Then it’s a constant yo-yo of devaluation and then love bombing, keeping the victim in a state of dread and hope. That is why Harry looks so miserable. She is playing him like a violin and I gather that he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Someone who has been emotionally cosseted all their lives is going to be mere child’s play to a seasoned narc like Markle. Tudor believes that Markle is in the devaluation stage as she begins hunting for another victim, one with a lot more money than Harry apparently has. But she can’t jettison him quite yet because I doubt she’s landed her next payload, so she love bombs him, then cuts him down, then love bombs him. Rinse repeat. Hard to say ether he’s happy in his misery or miserable in his happiness. Also, I DO believe that they continue to party like crazy. These days he looks like he’s coming off a six-month bender. Which is why I also believe that that baby is nowhere near them.
As I surmised several posts earlier, what if Thomas already found out? For me, it would explain the switch from silent, supportive father through most of the engagement to desperate man on the defensive from the photo shoot on. If he learned that he had been accused (e.g. via a temper flare from Harry), I think he should have said so, but he’s shown himself to be rather short on good judgment, plus imagine the fear. Or maybe he did tell someone and his relatively quiet life since all the letter brouhaha was the course chosen—perhaps it has stayed in his back pocket.
Can we confirm the source of this allegation? It’s in Lady CC’s book?
If I do, I will post.
Barbara- I have many times thought that Casey Anthony and Meghan Markle are very similiar. Now Casey Anthony killed her baby girl (I will always believe it, despite the verdict) and thank God Meghan hasn't done such a horrible thing. BUT there is are so many similarities. Casey was a massively manipulative narc, be it on a much lower level. Casey too pulled out the Dad Molested Me Card. I remember her father being utterly devistated.
Looking for more info/confirmation on the allegation? I'm getting my copy of Lady C's book sooon so I'll speed read it for anyone who didn't order a copy.
If Archie is born on May 6 it means she conceived in the early August. On February 11 at BAFTA she was six months pregnant. And huge as a whale.
Now look at this picture taken in November 2018, exactly on the 21st.
https://meghan-markle.org/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=73339
She is three month here and totally flat.
Now behold this one. It is dated December 21. Precisely a month after the previous one. She looks heavily pregnant.
http://www.justjared.com/photo-gallery/4199824/meghan-markle-brinsworth-house-december-2018-21/
Now look at this one. This is BAFTA
https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-baby-bump-surprise-appearance-british-fashion-awards-london-2018-12
Do you see mush difference in size between December and February? Compare it with a huge growth between November 21 and December 21.
Between her December 21 pic and February 11 at BAFTA pic there was 52 days.
Her bump grew less in 52 days than it did in one month before. This is the oddest growing bump I have ever seen.

Would it be such a stretch to believe that she provided the ring, along with the ‘Diana’s diamonds’ detail, and the ridiculous roast chicken proposal story? Not for me.
Me, neither. I am trying to avoid looking at too many of this LCC nuggets posted here because I am expecting my own copy of her book from the UK at any moment.
Lady C. asserts that Harry is addicted to Meghan and is so devoted/co-dependent on her that he will go wherever she says and follow her implicitly and if he were to be forcibly separated from her, he might commit suicide in despair.
This is the 'Suffering, Romantic, Poor Little Lost Boy' Harry narrative which makes him a more sympathetic character--look at him suffering for love!--resolutely turning his back on everything familiar in his life, including his own father and brother all to be a support to this shining light that has entered his life. Meg *must* be extraordinary if he's given up his entire life and identity for her, right?
This is what Meghan eats up.
This makes for good copy but I think it's far too glib. The truth is, I think, far more complicated. I think there may have been a period in the early phase of their relationship--those heady months after they were first introduced--that Harry was besotted. Meg was different than any of the blonde, English aristocratic girls he had dated before. She was a fun playmate. The sex probably blew his mind. His clandestine visits with her . . probably less than a dozen times in all . . represented a temporary respite from his Royal role. A gorgeous American girlfriend--an actress--both fed into his obsession with American celebrities and also was a way to defy his family's expectations at this 'unsuitable'/definitely not Royal companion. I think there was a brief obsessional phase, and Harry even introduced her to the family. It was then that she was caught attempting to sneak photographs of a Cambridge child(ren) and after that, was shown off the premises and distrusted by the family. This was likely in late 2016, perhaps around Charles' birthday or the Christmas holidays. In any event, Harry seems to have ended this relationship by the New Year. Markle spent the next 9 months gate-crashing events Harry was attending, without an invitation or without him even necessarily being aware she was there. She finagled tickets through her PR contacts or brazenly walked into places with no ticket. There's that well-publicized series of photos of her rifling through Harry's car at a polo match. If she were still Harry's acknowledged girlfriend and an invited guest, would William have had her escorted out and stood by watching to see that she was? The polo player in the foreground of one of the photos is the Duke of Cambridge, watching two equerries flank Markle, head down, being (figuratively, not literally) frog-marched out of there. They did not either grasp her firmly by the arms, but the energy was implied.
So the engagement and wedding were rushed through, to the visible delight of absolutely nobody except the bride and Jessica Mulroney's son Brian. For a man who was so in love he is incapable of functioning without being attached to his wife's hand at all times, Hazza was remarkably absent a great deal during their first year of marriage. These were not all Royal engagements, either. For a guy that much in love, it was odd that Harry would have chosen his first Valentine's Day as a married man, while his wife was expecting their child, in an ice hut in Norway rather than at home. This was not active deployment; this was a ceremonial for-show visit only which could have been easily arranged any other day that week or month. Why Valentine's Day? Did Harry beg somebody to give him a plausible excuse for being away that day?
When the birth of their son was imminent (as far as we knew), Harry left Meg to go cycling around Amsterdam for Invictus and looked to be having a fine old time of it, too. The Invictus launch was important (only to be cancelled this year due to Covid, so wasted effort all around on everyone's parts), but under the circumstances, everyone would have understood if Harry took a pass since his wife was allegedly close to her labor. Of course, Harry could go to Amsterdam without a care because nobody was at Frogmore getting ready to deliver a baby, but that was not the 'official' story.
Over the summer when he was supposedly a new dad, Harry played a lot of polo. For days at a time, all over Europe. He saw more of Nacho F. in the months following Archie's birth than he did of the light of his life Meghan and their son.
During Megxit, Harry traveled without Meghan (allegedly in Vancouver Island with the baby) and stayed for several weeks in the U.K. and various other places, andhe seemed, far from being suicidal over being away from her, happier than he'd been in months, hitting the pub with mates and to all appearances, bucking up admirably as a temporary bachelor.
Harry's second Father's Day has passed without a single mention from his wife, but we do have rumors that he was actually back in England last Sunday. It was probably feeling a tad crowded at Tyler Perry's crib if Marcus Anderson and his mother-in-law are also there.
A good friend once told me, when I had been lied about and cheated on, to keep my head high. My friend said that it bounces back ten times worse on the family member or spouse who speaks ill of you or your children. Cheaters are liars. Cheaters cannot be trusted. Cheaters have self hate and project their hate on the very people who have loved and trusted them. Cheaters and Liars think that others who aren’t as nasty and backstabbing as they show themselves to be, are probably weak and afraid. The cheaters and liars of a family always find themselves on the wrong end of the stick; history is written by the winners, not cheaters and liars of a famil
I raised my family with strict kindness. I taught my children that family is everything, and no outside person should ever try to create liars, cheaters, nasty and immoral people of them. My children are not perfect, but they are loving, close (but still will try to make fun of another, in family settings).
My children know that if they try anything to even put a hairline crack on the family, then they are not to enjoy a dime of family earnings. Of course, if a family member commits a crime or perverted act, they will deal with the law.
Charles and William need to cut Harry off if Harry says a lying, cheating word about his family. Harry’s family includes the citizens of Great Britain, who have paid for his petty crimes and lifestyle. Harry should get down on his knees to every British war veteran’s cemetery, to thank the lost souls for giving their lives for “Crown and Country.””
I think he's complicit in the current cockamamie self-destruction in the time of Covid, though he's finding out that 'freedom' from the Royal structure he's known all his life isn't what it was cracked up to be. Harry does not seem to have the kind of mature executive functioning that will allow him to be a successfully independent adult. He does not have the life skills. He was never required to develop any, and now that he needs some, his natural disadvantages make it impossible. I think being told what to do by a stronger personality is familiar--that's how the Queen runs things, too--but whereas the BRF had his best interests at heart, Meg has only her best interests at heart. When someone else organizes everything and tells him what to wear and when to show up, that removes the element of personal responsibility for organizing his own life. We are dealing with a Peter Pan syndrome here. Harry will never grow up, not all the way. Whether or not he's got natural intellect to do so, his life as a catered-to Royal has leeched out any internal initiative. If this truly were a love match and Meghan cared as much about his welfare as she does her own, this partnership could work. Harry is not a strong personality and he is being slowly consumed by Meg's delusional ambitions, but I don't think it's out of love that he bears this, but rather colossal laziness and frankly, he's just dumb. These traits make him malleable to her bidding--and yet, sometimes there's a spark of a more butch, decisive Harry peeking out. This Harry has a lot of anger. This Harry grits to his wife to 'Turn the F*** around!' on the balcony. I really wish we could see more of Angry Butch Harry because the simpering thing that Meg drags by the hand at photo ops is one soggy article.
Angry Butch Harry engineered Megxit, thank you very much. He is unafraid to verbally chastise his wife while the world watches, tells off Royal reporters who make offhand comments about trivial matters, and wants the world to know that he's nobody's puppet.
Soggy Article Harry shambles after his domineering wife while she muscles ahead of him, greeting foreign dignitaries first while he trails behind like her private secretary, has a wobbly lip, and allows his wife to deprive him of visits with his nonagenarian grandparents. SA Harry participates listlessly in limp photo ops with a child that isn't his and stands by while his wife uses PR flunkies to insult his father--the man who gave his bride away, showered her with the most expensive wardrobe in the royal houses of Europe, threw them a wedding reception and on whose largesse they still depend for their allowance.
Presumably Soggy Article Harry is the one in danger of becoming a suicide if torn away from the arms of his savior-wife? I have never seen a man in love look so miserable.
Maybe we should just cut through the crap and tell it like it is: the marriage to Meg was a calculated business merger on both sides. I have come to doubt that their relationship has even been sexual after the first few months. Something happened that caused their relationship to morph into something else than it started as, but I doubt seriously that 'love' is now or has ever been the driving force of this train. I think Harry is the Beta narcissist to Meg's alpha, but I don't think either of them is capable of love in the sense that you or I would understand it. Also, I believe that they share a drug habit and part of Meg's allure is that she's got contacts to get some good ****.
I think Harry is very conflicted about everything, but his dark side is winning because his better side is too weak and flabby from underuse to resist. This is not a happy man, and he may end up committing suicide, but not over Meghan, rather over the pisspot that his life has become . . or carelessly OD'ing on drugs.
According to Christopher Anderson in his book about William and Harry, each of Diana's sons was given the chance to pick a jewelry momento of their mother's. William had first pick, and chose a Cartier watch that she wore all the time. Harry picked her engagement ring to Charles. Harry famously handed over the ring when William proposed to Catherine, which I think indicates Harry's one-time affection for Catherine and perhaps that she was the next Princess of Wales. (Must drive MM mad that she was oh-so-close to having Diana's original ring).
According to the same author in Game of Crowns, in 2005, when Charles married Camilla in 2005, the Queen's stock of the Welsh Gold used for the royal weddings was low enough to only allow for one more ring. She decided to save the gold for William's eventual bride rather than let Camilla have it in her ring.
I don't know if Christopher Anderson is the ultimate royal authority, but interesting perspective on how seriously the Windsors take their jewels. (Anderson also claimed that the Queen, upon hearing of Diana's death, wanted to find out the location of all the family jewels in Diana's possession.
sigh. Maybe/maybe not but that still won't make her queen of the UK (thank goodness).
That unrelenting laser focused behavior is strong in that one. Or the belief that if you only follow your dream, the dream will come true. HW did a lot of movies (think Judy Garland) where the kids put on a show and poof, some big shot sees them and makes them stars. I have often thought that she really seemed to think her life should follow some HW script.
Loving the snips of the book.
As for the bombshell supposedly about her father - I also think it would be false. If it had a speck of truth, she would have only needed to say to JH, I don't feel comfortable having him here given what happened to me. JH would have cleared it with the palace on down but instead we get this story about JH's aid (I forget the guy's name) who kept trying to track down the details regarding her dad and the wedding until the photos went public.
Do I think that PC and PW conspired? together? to take down his son/his brother? when you look at their prior behavior, you don't associate leaks, massive secrecy manipulating people around them so where did they learn how to be so good at it? OTOH, MM and now JH do seem to have a lot of that kind of thing always swirling around them since well, before they got engaged.
I will say that I think MM should have taken a cold hard read about what happened after D did the Panorama/victim interview as it led to HM immediately informing them to get divorced and that new life became a life of more boredom and a distinct downgrade from what she had had. The terms of Megexit (especially the loss of HRH) would not have been such a shock.
"The realisation that Meghan is such a strong character and so self-confident that she regards herself as the equal of any other living individual, irrespective of who they are or what their position is, and that she feels sufficiently empowered by her self-belief that she will take on anyone, including the Queen, and regard herself as fully entitled to negotiate with anyone, including the Queen, as if they are equals, had begun to sink in. While such an attitude is regarded as admirable in many circles in the United States, within the British Establishment, it was viewed as cringeworthy folie de grandeur. The royal explained, ‘In no way, shape or form would Harry ever consider himself the Queen’s equal. I give no rewards for guessing who considers herself on a par with the Queen. I cringe with embarrassment on behalf of that young man. How he could ever have allowed that woman to issue such a statement, using his name, is beyond me.’"
I am reliably informed that Meghan and Harry feared, with good reason, that the British press could otherwise sabotage their well thought-out strategies for boosting themselves financially as well as reputationally. They were worried that the media might point out the potentially adverse effects their commercial activities could have upon the welfare of the monarchy. This might lessen their prestige in the US, weaken their brand, and scupper business opportunities. They therefore needed to defuse the power of such comments before they were even made. The most effective way would be if they could present themselves as victims of a vicious and unjust media. They also needed to take total control of the narrative. Stories must not emanate from independent and uncontrollable sources, but from themselves solely. Only then could they control the outflow of information while creating a hiatus between the breaking of news and commentary on their initiatives."
Not seen any mention of that.
"I was informed by royal cousins that Prince Philip was appalled at the way in which Meghan and Harry had tried to bring pressure to bear to get their own way. He was happy not to participate in the meeting itself, and, having fortified the Queen with his support, was driven away from the big house by his great friend Penny, wife of his maternal uncle Dickie Mountbatten’s grandson Norton Knatchbull, 3rd Earl Mountbatten of Burma just before the meeting was due to start. Harry had arrived from Windsor early, hoping to meet with his grandmother beforehand to influence her, but it did not work. She remained unavailable until the appointed time, waiting until the Prince of Wales and William arrived."
I've not read that myself but have no reason to disbelieve you. :)
"If she and Harry respected the boundaries behind which royals must function commercially and politically, they would be allowed to keep their royal status. If they deviated from the high standards required, they could be deprived of it. This was not an empty threat, and constitutionalists who argue that Parliament would have to vote to strip Harry of his royal status are wrong. Although peerages cannot be withdrawn except by an Act of Parliament, King George V with one stroke of the pen in Letters Patent dated 20th November 1917 deprived a whole host of his royal relations of their royal status."
Lady C then goes on to list them all.
Once I'm done... I will have to re-read it again at leisure!! ;-)
"Success or failure, when the Royal Family found out that Meghan and Harry had not only used an official engagement to pitch for work, but had successfully concluded negotiations behind their backs, they were furious, accusing the couple of entering into contracts ‘with firms like Disney’ without following procedure. Meghan was unrepentant. She told friends that her ‘work with Disney is far from over. The voiceover is just the beginning and there’s (sic) more collaborations to come. Meghan has no regrets and the sky’s the limit.’"
Please be careful with how much you post. Do not open yourself to accusations of violation of copyright. But thank you so much!
I wonder if CC discussed with her lawyers the possibility that Megsy might try to sue her. I hope CC is ready to go full steam ahead.
I'm literally posting little snippets.
Shall I stop? (nearing the end of the book anyway.)
@Ms. Malsprop: Your comment brought to mind another tidbit of Meghan’s creepiness. When she first started getting some decent paychecks early in her career, before Suits, one of the first things Meghan bought for herself was a Cartier tank watch like the one Diana wore, which knowing what we now know about her fascination with and mimicry of Diana, is creepy. On the back of the watch she had it engraved. The narcissistic engraving? “To MM From MM.”

I read this in a news article sometime between the engagement and the wedding. I’m guessing if anyone is looking for the article search Meghan Markle Cartier tank or To MM From MM. The article is likely still on the web.
Will leave the rest to your imagination. :)
I think you have done very well and you have been very careful but in our crazy world i would rather err on the side of caution.
Thank you very much again, your posts may have encouraged many to go and buy the book!
I hope so! It's a very interesting read. :)
Found it!
https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/7495590/meghan-markle-cartier-watch-baby-girl/#
IIRC, I mentioned it after the `pinkness' of the baby shower was reported and wondered if she genuinely expected the child to be female. Did she reject it when it turned out to be male?
Somebody doubted this, on grounds that `surely medical staff can tell from a scan whether a child has a willy or not' or wtte. That was assuming, of course, that the scan was of MM's abdomen. If it was of a surrogate's belly, could the surrogate have claimed the child was a girl out of fear of M's reaction, as MM seemed happy to have a girl?
Did MM initially reject the boy child? Could that have been a cause for the delay?
Yes, Lady C is ready and waiting for a lawsuit. On one of her interviews with Leo, he asked her that questions and she said, "Bring it on!"
@Tatty,
You're right about the ring. It's a very simple design and easily could be made in two days. I dated a custom jeweler and also had one as a tenant. I filled in for both of them at times (as a 'friend/salesperson) and learned a lot about fine jewelry-making, watching the wax casts being made through to the final polish.
Actually, that ring is so simple in design, that it could be a stock setting, and the jeweler just popped the stones into it. Harry didn't have much imagination if he designed it, but it's much better than what MM did to it later.
You're all welcome. :)
Silly, silly Harry!!
It is interesting that the RF has all of this protocol and all it took was one foreign person saying 'tough luck' and doing their own thing, to realize they can't actually control anyone by said protocol.
https://www.ccn.com/meghan-markles-fanbase-is-deeply-problematic-and-the-truth-is-coming-out/
WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM?
is this someone's crazy fantasy - "just imagine if" ? if that is what is happening here, KNOCK IT OFF. that is the way rumors start and that is a vicious one.
If it is true, that Meg said this publicly, then post the source.
Well, this was Meghan's ultimate motivation for security and leaving to another country/and state with more generous spousal rules.
She's been divorced before, so she knows the drill.
Harry is just going to learn the lesson a lot of guys learn.; "She's not yours, it's just your turn."
That's the one part I can understand coming from her. Marriage at its core is a business/financial partnership where you build a life together. She had no leverage and would be working for free at the RF and no security in a divorce. The manner in which they went about all the upheaval, I don't agree with.
A while ago we had a discussion on this blog about the Queen's inability to control the damage from somebody who simply refuses to abide by the rules.
The consensus seemed to be that there is a lot going on behind the scenes. We may never know how exactly ambitious plans derail, projects never come to fruition and influential sponsors suddenly change their minds.
If Queen and Monarchy can't defend themselves against somebody like Markle then their time is over. A number of Markles is the world is growing up. Toothless institutions will not survive in the jungle.
Lady C obviously has insider information about what Harry & Meghan talked about.
"To one canny observer, ‘it was a neatly packaged bundle, somewhat illogical but very emotional, all adding up to: Gimme the money in exchange for my class.’"
Well, well, well.
Harry wore the Nazi uniform because William bullied him to do so, and thus William is to blame. William, of course, was not in the vicinity of Harry when Harry, in the Nazi uniform, gave “Heil Hitler” salutes to everybody outside the party and inside. Harry was an adult, and constantly made anti-Semitic comments, and anti Asian slurs.. But it is just slow “Harry” was the excuse. William always tried to protect Harry from Harry himself, but Harry, in California, training with American troops, was not able to hide behind William’s apron strings anymore. American soldiers cared less about a b.s. prancing Prince Harry, who literally got kicked out of California due to insubordination towards his American superior officer. The American officers, rankings of Captain, could not believe that a prancing Prince Harry was a Captain, as he had close to no knowledge, leadership, goals, to be even an enlisted soldier, much less an officer of Captain rank. Harry could not read instruction books, and American officers never knew it was because his excuses were: he was illiterate, dyslexic, or drugged and drunken up. They thought that Harry’s time in the Army was a liability to the British Army, as Harry had a big, drunk mouth, and would slander and talk about the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, and especially Prince William. Just Harry would say if it wasn’t for his mum dying, he, Harry, would be nothing.
Where do I get this information? It is from soldiers, including an American Captain, American Major, and a British officer who heard what just Harry said to his Superior Officer, upon his disgraced return from California training.
Here is an extract from another blog: "According to Lady C’s book, Meghan told Harry that she was sexually abused by her father. My mother is a narcissist and they are utterly dangerous people - they are fantasists who believe their own lies and will destroy anyone in their path. Harry will be next, mark my words". It is posted on the Not My Duchess blog by Anon. Similar posts are on several other blogs.
On this blog this info came as a spoiler in relation to the book from one of the posters.
Suggestion was to wait for people who fully read the book to confirm or disprove it. It is truly unsettling.
Do you recall the reports of the Royal's favourite caterers being `recommended' to ensure they would be too busy with other commitments to take on any extra bookings for 19th May 2018?
People have been making stuff up, which is also disturbing,
>>>Plus whoever was looking would give up halfway through the thread, being derailed by all these shouty, ranty trolly posts (like the one above!) 😆
June 26, 2020 at 12:21 AM<<<
Yeah isn't it a shame that posters don't ask Nutty to stop the abusers who derail the blog by repeatedly attacking someone such as me?!!
Guess your time is better spent criticizing the victim. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Welcome to their club! ;)
That makes absolutely zero sense.
Archie may be big but I know he isn't 18 yet so we'd expect an LF on those grounds. But is one still needed when both parents are in agreement and acting for the minor?
Or does it mean that she isn't his mother?
Or simply that she hasn't got H's backing.
Are we talking US or English law?
It's all news to me - just saying.
I'm reluctant to reorder with my new card for fear of muddying the water. Damn' criminal hackers.
It doesn’t mean the parents disagree.
A plaintiff under 18 needs to have a litigation friend always. If someone doesn’t step up, the court will appoint one.
It’s neither here nor there and means nothing— it doesn’t mean Harry is against the lawsuit.
Archie only needs one litigation friend.
I think it suggests Archie is real and lines with his custodial parents, Meghan and Harry.
Is a "litigation friend" the same as a Guardian ad litem? We use that term in the US during child custody cases.
A guardian ad litem (“GAL”) is an attorney appointed by the court to investigate a case and report its findings and recommendations to the court. The investigation, report, and recommendations are based upon the best interests of the child. The GAL is a lawyer for the child and works in the best interests of the child
If your local library has a digital service (most these days do); sign up for it and check and see if they have Lady C's book in the queue for new arrivals. I have access to two: OverDrive and Hoopla; OverDrive has it listed but Hoopla doesn't. However, Hoopla does seem to carry all the Dylan Howard books and his on Megs and JH (plus Kate and Wills from the looks of the cover) is out Tuesday.
Worth a look if you're trying to save some $. I ebook like mad these days
One potentially interesting point...if there a settlement, the LF controls it for the child. Not sure if that matters or not in this case.
"By May, I was being rung up by an impeccable source and informed that the palace had started making plans for his eventual return. Alone."
(888)657-7323
Re Harry's return. Do you think anybody in the RF realizes Harry is a liability now? His attack on the media in Africa, his chat with "Greta", his "declaration of independence", his hypocrisy, his "unconscious racism" blow, his self-admitted mental instability, his disrespect to the Queen -these all turn him into a time bomb. Short of placing him into rehab and then keeping him on a short lead i don't see how it can work. He is too unstable and too bitter by now. Add possible drug and alcohol problems to it and you have a Molotov cocktail that can severely damage the monarchy when it eventually blows up.
They already have Andrew to keep under tight control and Harry will be one too much.
That's all mentioned in the book in great detail. The overall impression I'm getting is that the Royal Family are REALLY worried for him.
Sandie said...
Spoiler Alert: Meghan sent a friend to Lady C to tell her that she was sexually abused by her father when she was a little girl
She lies about everything so I knew she would bring this lie to the table ....what took her so long? Her father was at her Trevor wedding and probably paid for a good deal of it. Trev's family is loaded so I doubt Thomas paid for all of it.
@xxxxx and Sandie: Because lying is as natural as breathing is to narcissists, I am also not surprised by this claim from Meghan to once again portray herself as a victim and to attempt to soften what Lady C was writing for this book.
If Harry lives long enough, this type of accusation against her own father to save her self interests is just a taste of what Meghan would accuse Harry of in the event of a divorce, ESPECIALLY if he dumps her. A Harkles parting would make the Heather Mills - Paul McCartney divorce look like a church picnic.
Reading these excerpts lends support to my opinion that Harry could die early either via suicide due to the emotional beat-downs he likely receives from Meghan 24/7 or she will procure some drugs for him that “just happen” to be a bit stronger than he’s used to and he overdoses, leaving her as a “grieving” widow with a child — and a royal title to go on her merry path of destruction.
>>>>To see all your recent rants claiming WE (emphasis added) discriminated against you and your brother as well as your family members sounds like paranoid delusion to me.<<<<
I have NEVER EVER said "we" as in meaning ALL Nutties; my comments have been EXCLUSIVELY ABOUT YOU (and 'xxxxx'). You proved my statement again today by your own posts over and over and over!!! Just like knucklhead 'xxxxx' admitted last night he posted as 'Unknown'. Hmmmmmmmmmmm
To those who asked, YES, it is mentioned in the book but Lady C didn't believe a word of it.
Thank you so much for sharing snippets today! You are very generous. It took up a lot of your time!
He doesn't want heir help and they are only beating their heads against a brick wall. They need to be prepared for when he does want help, but until he does it's probably best just to let him go.
He may come back at some later date, or he may never come back. But there is no sense continuing to beat their heads against the brick wall
By letting him go, he will be happier and they will be happier.
They gave it their best shot trying to help him to see the light. But he is choosing not to listen. Until he does see the light it's probably best just to let him go.
You're welcome!
I wish I could have posted more but needed to be careful.
What I will say is that it's a very interesting and well written book and even though for me it was an extravagance... it was bloody well worth every penny! :-)
It is entirely possible that JH might misconstrue their offers of help as overtures to try to woe him away from his beloved. It could have the opposite effect and Harry may cling tighter to Meg.
It seems he will have to hit rock bottom maybe in more ways than one. Maybe it will take MM being unfaithful or some similarly shocking event to get JH to realize he needs to separate from her and return to his family and a healthier lifestyle. Perhaps concern over the treatment of Archie might even turn Harry against Meghan. I always want to think the best would happen for the family and that Meghan gets her deserved comeuppance. I am beyond disappointed about how Harry has treated his family and he should be held accountable too,
As you can all imagine, I also bring all kinds of beauty to the world, just peruse images of my Habsburg ancestors in paintings to be found at museums and on-line portrait galleries.
I can out wit, and out beauty all of you.
Be jealous!
Got to go, my brother is shi**ing himself again. Such trials.
PS: Stop picking on me Rustiee, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, xxxxx, Unknown, et al.
Lady C does mention the Markle family at length but just generally...nothing specific that would interest us.
@Indy, try not to let it get to you. Come back soon. :)
Spot on! thank you
Christopher Andersen is an American journalist. The story of the Diana's watch and engagement ring came from Paul Burrell scarcely the most relaible source. No idea where the story about Camilla's wedding ring came from but it is Welsh gold. The gold is still available and a small amount of it is used in jewellery produced by the firm Clogau
I warned them ('xxxxx'/'xxxx' and the CatEyes Impersonator) to stop!!! I said I was was losing my patience after many months of their harassment. I pleaded with Nutty to tell them to stop over and over and over and over, ad nasuseum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told Nutties to ask Nutty to tell them to stop and no one did that I saw. I pleaded for help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for someone with decency to tell Nutty this has to stop. Remember the Virus blog was destroyed up by vicious infighting WHICH I WAS NOT A PART OF.
I said if I eventually lost my patience I would start to respond in kind. So you see what happens....the cuss words and small penis discussions ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO CALLING MY INNOCENT CHILDREN NAMES, SLANDERING MY DEAD MOTHER, MAKING RACIST REMARKS ABOUT MY MUREDED RELATIVES AT THE HANDS OF THE NAZIS AND RIDICULING MY DYING BROTHER WITH DEMENTIA who I CARE FOR.
AS I was posting this now the 'Unknown' commits another FELONY by using my persona (I cited the specific law the other day) and AGAIN RIDICULING MY DISABLED DYING BROTHER. So 'Indy', complain to Nutty or it might get worse. I am all for changing to a different format to stop these trolls.
So this is what happens when Nutty does not stop these people!!!!!! I will not be scared off and I will not kowtoe to bullies!!!!!
'INDY' you want to blame me, the victim. I try to post and they stalk and cyberbully me with the awful comments. I took the advice from my physician who doesn't want me to sit back and be a silent victim; she thinks I have the right to be here as does Google.
@Indy, agree with you 100%, am with @Miggy and @Musty, wish you would not leave.
This proves 'Unknown' is behind Fake 'CatEyes' and 'CatEars'
A child who has received money to settle a court case will have a Litigation Friend to look after the money in a Court Funds office account until they turn 18
Maybe you all, as cherished bloggers would be listened to, although Nutty as the blogspot content owner has already read your posted complaints and she hasn't done anything. I wonder why!!!
I agree, sadly. RF is losing my respect as I can not tolerate watching the institution be soiled by these two. It is time to take the titles, after all they said they don't want to be Royal any more. Grant them their wish. Harry is going to have a very difficult time coming back into the family should they divorce, and an even tougher time being welcomed by the public. Keep him safe but don't continue to reward his poor behavior. Its insulting to the public who do financially support him and have his whole stupid, useless life.
What is critical in regards to this current book versus her autobiography is that LCC’s mother was a malignant narcissist and her father a total enabler of her mother’s pathology. Hmmm, who do this sound like? I haven’t read the current book yet, but can only imagine that she knows Markle on a level that few people do in that her mother was horrific to everyone around her. Absolutely evil. Put the “V” in vindictive and the “M” in malice. If only half of the stories of LCC’s upbringing are true, it’s amazing that she’s as successful as she is. Her mother did everything in her power to destroy her, first because her parents were ashamed of her birth defect and tried to force her to “become” a man (even to the point of naming her George) and second because once she had corrective surgery, she began to threaten her mother’s position as one of the most attractive women in Jamaica, among the white elite, of course.
After reading LCC’s autobiography, I cannot help but feel that she, like all of those who are victims of narcissists, must have special insight into this can of worms that those of us who have been lucky enough to escape such evil people do not. I know many people on this blog have become victims of such people, and after reading LCC’s autobiography, I cannot imagine living in such hell.
Yes it is. I heartily agree.
Her book on the Queen Mother is interesting too. Lady C has different opinions than most...
Thanks for posting about Hapless Harry's absymal behavior in California as a British army officer. Apart from disrespecting his fellow officers and shying away from his duties, he also badmouthed his family? What a sorry excuse of a human. I am disgusted that the RF tolerated this. They seem to have a history of doing so. Prince Andrew being another example.
@Miggy, thank you for taking time off from your reading and giving us up dates!
Has anyone created an account at amazonuk and bought the book on Kindle?
This works on my Kindle Fire (tap), and my PC desktop (click), but I don't know if it works on other devices. And it only works if you click on the comments to navigate from the original post, and not if you click on the "Read More."
Perhaps this is already common knowledge, but I happened to discover it by accident one day and have found it useful in filtering out some of the nonsense, so I thought I'd share it in case anybody else needed to know.
Come back soon, we will miss you!
@Lighthealer Astrid:

.....
Yep. I think it's time to pull titles. I'm done with them now. They have shown nothing but disrespect to the queen, his father, William and Catherine. It's especially offensive how awful they have been to Catherine who seems to have shown H nothing but kindness over the years.
@Lighthealer Astrid...yes to both.
Thank you! It worked for me.
It's so interesting how many theories come close to explain something (such as pregnancy, baby or no baby), but no one theory seems to explain it all. Which tells us there must be more than one theory in play. It'll be interesting to see which ones end up being true, if we ever know the truth in our lifetimes.
Cat Eyes, Please just stop ruining this blog for everyone else. IGNORE the negative and it will stop!

Lady C didn’t touching the inakip wedding and the supposed rumored break up, so we shall see what the other 3 books say.
I FF through the wedding today and the look of love on Harry’s face during the vows was genuine. He was in looooove.
Does anyone know how to block a particular user? I've been looking into that for a while and can't seem to find anything. I'd kinda put that search on the back burner, but now it's time to figure it out.

That will be hard since 'xxxxx' identifies as a male. 'Uknown'/'CatEars'/Impersonator'CatEyes' won't leave me alone! She stalks and says the most nasty things when I am off the site caring for my dying brother. My disabled elderly brother has never addressed her but she lashes out at him. She said nasty things about my children and they have never been on this site. Etc.......So She Is The Problem of stalking and attacking! The victims aren't the problem.
But why doesn't anyone ask Nutty why she won't stop them? I am the ONLY ONR who has asked Nutty, even repeatedly pleading with her, to stop them! Hmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!! Interesting!!!
@Mel, I am pretty sure that is why Nutty did her poll is there isn't a way with this blog format.

Ah, yes. I'd forgotten about that, thank you. Moving on.
Chocolate martinis on the deck while I wait for the storms to arrive. :-)
Hoping no more trees come down. I lost a tree last week and got stung multiple times while trying to cut it up. Ouch!! Might be time to call the tree service if it happens again this week.
I have a brief reprieve only to say that I’m incredibly disappointed in the downward trend here. One of my colleagues had actual interaction here in LA with Megs and had some interesting insights.
She attempted to post, but was put off by the insulting and degrading comments: primarily from the xxxxx person. Is that a he? Or she? Nevertheless, there used to be intelligent, pertinent posts on this site. There was another gentleman here. Where did he go? His comments were noteworthy. As were Elle’s.
The baiting of posters and ignorance demonstrated by xxxxx and others has convinced me to check out of this site along with the others. My time is too valuable to be spent amongst divisive, ignorant individuals.
PS: tumblr has some interesting, alternative sites; “plant” often posts fascinating things - sans the degradation
".....but was put off by the insulting and degrading comments: primarily from the xxxxx person. Is that a he? Or she?"
'xxxxx' has identified as a male.
Just a thought. A move to Reddit would allow you to make your blog private (invitation only), and you would be able to block users.
I don't know if this is what all of you here would want, but it's an idea. Thoughts?
This was a day we've all been looking forward to with Lady's Cs book coming out, and not surprisingly, there has been a truly horrible onslaught of vile posts today. Whether it is by design, I'm not sure, but it certainly annoying and it has taken over your blog.
Bowl up pic here. Same color walls etc
This was posted upthread about the abuse claim:
Miggy said…
ABUSE CLAIMS!!
To those who asked, YES, it is mentioned in the book but Lady C didn't believe a word of it.
@Yankee Doodle, thanking you also for the information about Harry's behavior as an officer. Harry capering about in uniform would NOT have been appreciated by most people wearing the uniform of our country, nor his, I would imagine.
@Miggy, how thoughtful your excerpts were. It confirmed a lot of things I was surmising.
Thanks for your wonderful updates as you read Lady C's book. That was a lot of work for you, be we certainly appreciated it! I can't wait for my copy to arrive, but unfortunately, it will be another month, so this was a great intro.
@Miggy I second the thanks, I am frothing to get this book and this is giving juicy updates :)
When you took your well-deserved vacation from this blog, I mistakenly thought that you had shut it down and set up a new blog elsewhere, in order to better control or eliminate the trolls. Although I was delighted when you began posting again here, I still wonder if you might eventually make a change.
I just wanted to ask that if you do shut down this blog one day and migrate to Wordpress or Disqus, could you please give us a head’s up, or maybe some hints about where we will be able to find you on the web?
Thank you!
Also, I’d recommend that @Nutty (once again) asks all of the unknowns to choose a name, or risk having their comments deleted. Between the trolls and the multiple unknowns, it’s very difficult to navigate this blog.
With regard to the statement and demands they made when they said they were stepping down:-
"The realisation that Meghan is such a strong character and so self-confident that she regards herself as the equal of any other living individual, irrespective of who they are or what their position is, and that she feels sufficiently empowered by her self-belief that she will take on anyone, including the Queen, and regard herself as fully entitled to negotiate with anyone, including the Queen, as if they are equals, had begun to sink in.
@Miggy: Narcissists like Meghan put up a good front, but at their core, they wear a mask to hide their total lack confidence, are incredibly angry, and spend an enormous amount of time and energy maintaining the facade they have constructed to present a perfect-in-their-mind facade to the outside world. At their core, narcs are a vast desert of emptiness, devoid of empathy and unable to love anyone invluding themselves.
In addition to the endless facade management, they attempt to fill the vast interior void with things, which serve as status symbols, but the rush of acquiring an expensive new dress, car, house, or ring wears off like a hit of heroin. The void gets larger and needs more shiny things to try to fill the bottomless pit of low self esteem. It’s one of the reasons why narcissists can never get enough. As one quote from the book said, if you give her California, she wants Arizona too, and if she doesn’t get it, it’s victimization.
HMTQ and Charles need to call Meghan’s bluff and give her the freedom she says she wants, without royal funding and without any royal titles.
Eventually, and I think it will come within the next three or four years, Harry and the doors he can open for her and provide what is for her, fairly limited wealth, will not be enough. I think the fact they have not bought a house is already a sign that there is not enough money to buy the type of house Meghan feels entitled to have. As I said above, one of the best things Charles can do is cut them off financially to allow them to live the independent life they allegedly crave, but also take the titles. Harry will always be a prince, but it will knock Meghan down a rung or two if she is no longer a royal. Be careful what you want, you just might get it, dear.
I think she will hang on to Harry for one more child to use as a bargaining chip and emotional weapon against him and the RF, but if they aren’t already having financial problems, they soon will. Harry’s worth of $30 to $40 million is a drop in the bucket as far as the kind of money it will take to keep her in the lifestyle of others that she models herself after. Money will be their downfall as a couple and her downfall as an individual because she is so jncredibly greedy she will never get enough to fill that bottomless pit inside her.
@Hikari: regarding the mind-blowing sex, it probably was. People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder are often fantastic on bed, but they don’t particularly enjoy it. Sex is one of the tactics to hook their target. At first, during the love-bombing stage, the sex is anytime and all the time to physically capture their prey while the love-bombing combines with it to psychologically ensnare the target. Harry was so easy for her to immediately dominate and control that I can just imagine Meghan chucking to herself because he was so gullible and needy.
At first, the sex is freely flowing, but because it is only a tool for the narc, they eventually turn it off as punishment and on to reward or lure their target back into the web as part of the devaluation stage. She is probably also gaslighting Harry, which may be part of why he seems physically and emotionally disheveled.
You lie and lie and lie. You make up whole cloth out of nothing (eg. I have never ever commented on a 'Rustice' or whatever so I could not deny he exists. You are the one who keeps talking about this poster).
You also stalk me by commenting on and on and on when I am not even on the site! You comment about my looks. You comment about my brother, on and on and on, on everything! You won't shut up!
You keep stirring the pot about 'Elle;' being chased off by me LOL!!!! What a crazy idea....you think that brass-balled Bi**h could get chased off by little ole me...she's here and I suspect you are 'Elle' since you are so fanatical about her and harassing me continuously. You keep saying shit about LSA and you are a nutcase to go looking under every sentence every day everywhere you can try to find dirt, you are weird!
You are so fixated on me, So hung-up on me. You are so obsessed with me..it is creepy, almost dangerous to the level you pursue me! YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH ME, GET PROFESSIONAL HELP.
Lastly I want to vomit at your condescending diatribe when you said such ugly things about me and my brother etc...You are pushy towards other posters having told others they scared people away. I won't go back months and look for your quotes because you aren't worth the time. Other posters have called you out for your pushiness. I have a life and people and animals to care for, not to waste it on the likes of you sicko.
Just Leave Me Alone like i have told you a dozen times!!! Don't contact me and don't discuss me ever again!!! Bet you can't do it though!!!!
I agree that they aren’t buying a house because it’s cheaper for her to live grand in another’s place as a rental, rather than move to Encino. I think Meghan still assumes she will make big bucks on backend book deals, speaking (need that deposit cash fast!), maybe social accounts and a website to push her cheesy Chinese made crap with word salad quotes, like below
https://twitter.com/archewellfund/status/1276258924526698498?s=21
random charity checks as a director and whatever other ‘non corporate’ startup scheme she could attempt. Work out videos? Mom blog? It won’t be acting and it won’t be in a grand estate that she owns.
Thinking about it is exhausting me. LOL I can only imagine the weird world Harry exists in now. The one thing that guy NEEDS and is used to is structure and purpose. Neither of which she has. And is everything his life at the RF was.
He gets a fair amount of the facts (which we know) a little wrong. As a side note, his take on Betty Broderick though is very understatedly amusing.

Back to the topic at hand. I agree that taxes may be something which sweeps away any profits earned. You have multiple countries looking for ways to make money when there will be much less in till for this year thanks to the economics trampled by covid.
Thanks for the book snips. I am waiting to get my copy (wish it were sooner).
Yes, and Just H did much more. He would “escape” from his many royal police officers, military officers, all disparagingly called “Prince Harry’s Babysitters” and much worse. Just H and “Pa” also had to pay off people that Just H almost hit on his “tricycle” or “baby cycle” that the American soldiers would laughingly call the prancing, flaunting Prince’s bikes, driven off to prove that he was a real “man” in Las Vegas and Reno.
I hope Nutty gets rid of the Meghan os who have shown their stupid tricks. They are tedious and are surplus to requirements.
The reason you had to post 'Unknwn' as 'YOB' is because I demanded you to quit talking to me and to quit posting about me. So again, you morph into another persona as is your obsessive and bizarre habit.
So YOB/Unknown LEAVEME ALONE.
Nutty, you are one of the few bloggers, along with Harry Markle, that has not been raped - rapiered - by MM or Just Harry commenters. Please do not leave us (I have juicier stuff than LCC, btw) as that is what some of these mentally ill, or mentally retarded at age five, people want you to do.
