Has Meghan's moment passed?

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.


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.

Unknown; you are making a bad name for Unknowns'. You hide behind your name. I have always identified myself as 'Different Unknown'. You are a problem. You mask you feigned concern for CatEyes in lies. I know because I have been lurking for a long time and I remember 'Rustice' and never saw her go after CatEyes. You are also making up lies about other things for instance you keep saying negative stuff about her when she isn't on the blog. You do it more than once. You keep the lie going about Elle when there is absolutely nothing to prove she was run off. Maybe she's dead from COVID-19. She left the Virus blog and CatEyes was hardly ever there. You are also cruel to mention CatEyes sick brother the way you do. What is wrong with you. People are sick and tired of you hijacking the blog for your own personal vendetta against CatEyes. You wont leave her alone like she has asked numerous times. You keep the sick narrative going by talking about CE instead of the Topic Get a life. Better yet leave the blog until you can quit talking about CatEyes.

Guys.

I like this blog. I enjoy everyone’s perspective.

That said, I have to scroll past the numerous bizarre comments that have nothing to do with Meghan it Harry, but rather insults and accusations. It always appears out of no where. Suddenly there is some rant by a user (or a bot?) that seems to be losing grips with reality. I don’t read them as I dont have time. As soon as the language changes from the blog topic at hand around Meghan and Harry, I zone past.

But how unfortunate. Let’s leave the personal at the door and continue the conversation about Meghan and Harry only please. Thanks!

I also think a move to Reddit might be a good idea considering the moderation capabilities and the ability to have different threads of topics going at once. Not my call though, and no issue staying here.

Have a good day.
CatEyes said…

Yep the "rant by a user (or a bot?) that seems to be losing grips with reality" is 'Unknown' who stalks me and even says crap about me when I am not on the site. No amount of people complaining stops 'Unknown' or 'xxxxx'.

But why isn't Nutty stopping them? Why? I have begged Nutty multiple times and she won't tell them to stop! Why? Why? It is too weird!!!

CatEyes, please stay on topic. I don’t venture to LSA or other blogs. I don’t keep in touch with people online. I just want to read about Meghan and Harry here on this blog. This isn’t really a heavy user to user interaction page. It’s more flowing commentary.

Thanks.

Other users, just go grey rock about these things.

No, a lot of us do not know what Cateyes writes anymore. Because...we stopped reading. The whole POINT in scrolling past and ignore is to NOT read what she writes? If a person is not well there is no point in arguing with what that person writes?
The person who is not well does not care what you write in respond? There is nothing you can write to calm that person down or to make that person behave?
The only thing you do by writing to an unwell person is giving her a reson to keep writing?
Why is it so hard to scroll past words from a username you don't like and wait for nutty to delete?

Love the chat about Lady CC book. My favorite snippet is MM as an " empty shell".


Fingers have been getting exercise scrling past the off topic nastiness. The magic tap trick didn't work on my phone, but I will try it when I use other devices.

I have been looking forward to LCCs book and Nutty groups comments on said book. Still waiting for the book and enjoying the early comments.

Not letting excessive off topic posts ruin the fun.

Lady C book

I am 3/4 of the way through. Lady C is very careful in how she describes MM, praising her very often - perhaps to pre-empt accusations of libel? She does, however, mention various people's negative thoughts and feelings - courtiers, journalists, the general public etc - so it is not all positive and flattering but the words do not come from her.

What strikes me is the disconnect between the American and British perception of MM. This is not just because MM is an American citizen. She talks about 'cultural discordance' and as a Brit, I had never realised the magnitude of the culture gap in the context of H&M. It certainly explains the differences of opinions (abt MM) between the two countries. Interesting.
Maneki Neko said…
I forgot to say that Lady C draws many, many parallels between Diana and MM (not the superficial ones like copying Diana's clothes, poses etc). Maybe this is what unconsciously drew JH to her?

Good (early) morning! I'm just checking in to report that I saw the comments were veering off track last night, so I wanted to check in this morning to see how the clicking on the "B" for Blogger on the first line worked on Kindle (I was on a PC last night). The Kindle version that I am using this morning requires me to tap the screen AFTER the name, not before, and works great to hide the comments. It is ever so much easier than scrolling, too!

And another thing, LCC confirms that Philip was the Boss. So, the havoc we are seeing in the BRF due to the destructive duo is the lack of a leader, a strong leader, to take the proverbial bull by the horns.

It is such a complicated dance ... sashaying around the race issue and concern over the mental health of both of them.
SwampWoman said…
Ooh, thanks, Jenx, for the confirmation that PH is an ungrateful rectum. I have been wobbling back and forth about whether he is a victim or a co-conspirator.
Jenx said…
@miggy. IKR. Unbelievable behaviour!
SwampWoman said…
Jenx, do you think that William is that strong leader in waiting?
Jenx said…
@swampwoman. I don't know. I have learned so much about British culture in this book as well as the inner workings of the BRF. I didn't expect it to be this educational!

It may fall on William's shoulders but I don't think he will take on the reins by choice. Maybe there was something In those MI5 (MI6?) Meetings undertaken by both himself and the Queen.

Charles seems so peripheral to the story so far, I can't see him being a player in this fiasco.
SwampWoman said…
I just don't see any way forward for Harry in all of this. If he's been that big of a jerk to all of his family members, well, I think those doors are closed forever. You can't stab your family members in the back repeatedly and expect all to be forgiven.

As to having Fauxarchie being covered up forever by the BRF, forever is a very long time. People will talk. Maybe not immediately but after Harry dies which, at this point, I believe will be sooner rather than later. It is so much more advantageous to be a widow.
Jenx said…
Also, in the photo where Lord Geidt looks like he is squeezing her had, he is definitely squeezing her hand. Suspicions about his role were correct.

They should have nipped the situation in the bud but the behaviour was so outrageous the courtiers were caught off guard completely and the whole thing got out of hand very, very quickly.

She wasted no time dipping into the Duchy trough!
SwampWoman said…
Jenx said: Charles seems so peripheral to the story so far, I can't see him being a player in this fiasco.

I was wondering whether there was much about him in the book considering that I believe that this is his mess to clean up. The Lady would appear to be very circumspect.

I just checked Amazon to see if the book would magically appear on Kindle more quickly but nooooo. July 28 it is. So again, thank you so much for those of you tossing me teasers of the contents!

I reckon we will learn about Archie sooner, rather than later.

That’s all that matters.

Perhaps the rumors about PP having dementia is true. He might appear okay even in public but overall be unable to handle things such as being the leader of the family. However I am dismayed by HM since surely she learned from PP how to handle difficult things in the family. And Charles, well he is hopeless. Poor William probably is hamstrung by lack of real authority and maybe he could not envision it would get so bad so quick. Lord Geidt might have had the fortitude but PC would no doubt resent his intrusion after all, Charles opened the Bank of Dad for Meghan, his favorite consumer.
abbyh said…

One thing which helps me just keep on passing by disruptive posts (not responding) is think that it is just SS trying to set off dissention within the group. If they can't shut us down (because we aren't doing stuff which would allow them to legally end this blog) they can at least get us to be fighting within the participants. And that kind of leaving a trail of nastiness would be right up their alley.



Maneki Neko said…
@Jenx

I don't know any PP and dementia but in her book Lady C mentions pancreatic cancer (end of chapter 9): '
It had been an open secret in well-informed Britain for some time that Prince Philip commiserated with someone with pancreatic cancer by stating that he too has been diagnosed with it. Out of respect for him and the Queen, the editors in the know had decided not to break the news until the palace announced it. As no announcement had been made to date, no editor had published that fact, but anyone with a brain in his or her head only needed to look at Prince Philip to see that he could not possibly be very long for this earth, pancreatic cancer or none.' This was written in the context of Harry choosing to spend Christmas in Canada and therefore being heartless.

I come here often to read Nutty's blog and lately I am so disheartened by some posts that seem to be from some who want to sabotage the blog.

NUTTY, HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO CONTROL YOUR NARRATIVE.

Harry Markled does wordpress and allows no comments to "DIRTY" up her posts; however, she then places them on facebook and there she can manage the comments. If you cross her or get into any infighting, she will remove you or block you.

I have so much respect for you NUTTY and what is transpiring on here lately is quite sad. Go to wordpress and start up on facebook where you are able to control what is written and by whom.

For all the WHINERS I am so sorry that your mother may have dropped you on your head when you were a baby but in the end darlings 'WE ALL GET BLACK AND BLUE'.
Maneki Neko said…

@abbyh

I agree, we have to stick to our guns because for all we know it's MM who is behind the nastiness and victimisation we've been seeing here. It's another tactic used by narcissists - divide and conquer. Think of them as plants, quislings, Fifth Columnists.

We have to stick to the legal path of `fair comment'.

God Save the Queen.
Oh gosh, pancreatic cancer. That's a dreadful diagnosis.

I don't know what advances there may have been in treatment recently - can anyone tell me how things stand? I've been heartened by the progress made in malignant melanoma, using immunotherapy, but have heard nothing about pancreatic cancer, beyond knowing cases where someone has died soon after diagnosis. There's at least some hope now for those with ovarian c. as well.

@ Aquagirl, thanks for bringing up the frantic car search at the Polo. Celt News has footage of it on YouTube, I believe. In the video, she is walked away twice from the car. The third time she sees someone or something, and literally starts backing away from the car before they come over. Who behaves this way?
Girl with a Hat said…
for those of you talking about pancreatic cancer, there is a lot of success with immune therapy, but it's extremely expensive. And, you may need to go to Israel for the best doctors and treatments. It saved Jimmy Carter - remember they announced his imminent death because his cancer had metatised but he is still walking among us.

The treatment involves creating antibodies specific to the person's tumour and that is why it is so expensive.

To the Nutties who keep wanting to blame my brother for being upset about 'Unknown' and 'xxxxx' etc.. ridiculing him, you are part of the problem! You want a dying man to overlook their despicable behavior. After being silent for months He finally got on here for the 1st time and wrote them to stop and they didn't!!!!! So how do you figure he is to blame and a whiner (as 'free2gab unfairly pointed out) when He Never Ever Interacted with 'Unknowm', 'Elle' 'xxxxx' or 'YoB' etc the list goes on and on. Leave him alone; if you were dying he wouldn't be bothering you; in fact he has never bothered any of you!!!!!!

And for you saying I am ruining this blog, well you overlook all the useful and funny contributions I made before 'Elle' sic'ed her minions on me, as 'Unknown' and 'xxxxx' has readily admitted they are carrying the torch against me bc of her!! For the last two montsh (coincidentally since the Virus blog was doxxed) these disturbed individuals are constantly bringing me up. They are getting what they want, to disrupt the blog. I am beginning to think what some tin haters say is that it is Meghan's intent to send these trolls in to disrupt. When I don't set the record straight, these malcontents still post things about me (like happened last night after 12pm CST). So there you go, I have proven once again they will post whether I comment or not!!!! How do you explain that...I didn't interact and they still posted crap!

Rhetorical question...I am going "grey rock' on you 'Blamers'!!. So Ta, Ta!

Exactly what I have been saying, I have been on here contributing for going on two years but as soon as 'Elle left' these posters started in on me. Also around the same time the Virus blog with the viscous infighting got busted (which I was not part of but 'MissScarlett, 'MiamiVice', other posters here and a beloved"SW' who wisely eventually quit the fighting). I suspect these viscous Virus bloggers changed their name and started in on me. I predicted a few days ago that they were attempting to do the same thing to this blog. Now I am a believer of the tin hat theories you floated that this 'Unknown'. 'xxxxx' et al could very well be Meghan stans or sugars trying to bring disharmoney and discredit Nutty's blog. I didnt believe it at first but now it seems credible.

@Miggy: Saying "thank you" really is inadequate to express my gratitude for your posting quotes from Lady Campbell's book, which took a lot of time and effort. That is so selfless and generous of you.

@cateyes and the multiple aliases both you an the person you're bickering with: At this point, it would take a forensics scientist to comb through the MOUNTAIN of your back-and-forth comments to even approximate who's at fault. Frankly, I don't care who's what at this point. You and your enemy have abused your privilege as a guest of Nutty's blog, littering it with your detritus, and consuming the time of other readers, even if we were to just scroll past your comments. Shame on you all.

And lastly @Nutty: While I appreciate your blog and understand your doing so is a public service (as I myself have a political blog as a public service), your continual allowance of cateyes et al using your blog for their endless obnoxious bickering -- which I, as a blog owner and administrator, would never tolerate -- is irresponsible and a disservice to your readers, many of whom are erudite, thoughtful, intelligent and courteous. They deserve better than your laissez-faire running of this blog.

With all the resources at their disposal, it's interesting that h didn't get his visa and tax situations sorted out before they left.

He appears to not have given either situation any thought. And perhaps was unaware of those two pitfalls.

Apparently the two of them so they could just just move wherever they wanted whenever they wanted with no consequences whatsoever. They were so famous and important that the rules surely did not apply to them.

If they had been using their resources wisely their advisors and lawyers would have had this all figured out ahead of time. Instead of them having to scramble now to get it sorted out.

Here is their very odd annual report, which gives absolutely no financial information. Pay attention to the world map that shows where their offices are around the world and the donor list. It's obvious that MM and JH were just using this charity to make connections:

5 minutes in and guess what???? Yep, just as I predicted. I will keep trying though....but I will point out the time of failures if they continue!!!!!!!
@Jenx Do you think the possible “CYA collusion” from BP re Faux Archie is to protect PH? Was he in on the whole preggers thing from the start? The intro of Archie was ridiculous. That baby was as still as death. His comment about Archie even having a hairy face said it all for me as the Darren doll is advertised to have baby down on its face. I am intrigued as to when PH actually knew. There was a series by Harlen Coben on TV recently where the wife purchased faux bumps and used them to convince her husband and others of her pregnancy. I believe she used the fact she was “pregnant” with not wanting to be intimate. “Things that make you go Hmmmm...”

Jdubja, thank you, but that doesn't seem to work either. It must be me, I'm not particularly au fait with tablets. Lol.

Just don't engage. Period. don't acknowledge, don't complain. 90% of the time this blog is great. If ignore the BS and post your normal stuff. Being able to click on the B or ... is great as i scroll down, i just collapse the comments and skip right through. Don't even both to look at them - see the name and click/gone.

I personally don't want the blog to go to another forum as I will not download any apps on my computer or phone. so i'd be gone.

But - Nutty's choice.

I would be happy to volunteer for some periodic "house cleaning" during Nutty's off hours.

HappyDays said…
Advice: Avoid engaging any of the people who are trying to spoil the experience of this great blog for the majority of who read as lurkers and comment on nutty’s blog.

Like Meghan, these people are feeding off the attention paid to them when people reply to their schoolyard behaviors.


I simply scroll past the pre-teen arguments and read the observations snd musings from legitimate commenters. Persona attacks, taunts and rants aren’t effective if you pay no attention. Their arrows sail on and eventually fall to the ground if nobody is there to catch them.

Eighth grade (which is about age 13 for non-US nutties) is many years behind me, and although it was pleasant enough, I wouldn’t want to revisit it here or anywhere else.

Cheers!

Mrs Trestle, I found that if I had the long version of the post up (with Nutty's complete post), it does not work. If I am in the abridged portion, it does. Probably clear as mud, but hope it may help.
CatEyes said…
I think the fact that Lady C's "balances" her protrayal of Meghan by equally writing positives and negative is a deal breaker for me. Any author could write such a tome about Jeffrey Dahmer perhaps also (as he loved his mother, he was handsome, a nice enough neighbor etc..). I thought Lady C's book would be more hard hitting and get to the bottom of the Archie conundrum. I am sure it is a good read with the historical details/explanations but not a forensic analysis of Meghan maybe? Can't be sure but haven't heard any earthshaking news from the excerpts yet.

Thank you to the Nutties who contributed on the details. like 'Miggy'.
Grisham said…
I think nutty should turn the blog off and on as she feels like it. If you happen to post while it’s off (as I did the other day), oh well. That post is lost and you can repost it when the blog is back on. (Nutty shouldn’t have to spend her time when she turns on the blog going through comments to post).

I don’t mind collapsing comments and scrolling by.


@miggy I do want to also add my thanks for you posting summaries from the book. Does anyone know why the USA edition doesn’t come out until the end of July??!!

I’m cracking up at whoever said skippy will be pissed. Lol. I checked in on her yesterday and she thinks tanned Harry sitting against walls the same color as TP’s house is in England, lol.

Oh, and I’m betting Homeboy people have video of them there— for future use in the documentary of HAMS humanitarian efforts. Didn’t someone say Homeboy is repped by Sunshine Sacs?
That was an interesting point about HM visiting MI5 and William spending time there as well, in that Charles didn't make a visit.

Could that be significant?

Thanks to Girl in a Hat for more info on immunotherapy - are we still at the stage of clinical trials, perhaps?
SwampWoman said…
Lighthealer Astrid, I do not think anybody knows for sure about Harry's knowledge of the Fauxarchie from the beginning. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say "no" because even he would know how how crazy stupid that would be, but my guess is worth precisely nothing.
CatEyes said…
Yep some Nutties just got to stir the pot by mentioning the strife well after they read to not engage and to stop the convo. Funny how they read the post to not engage, yet are clinging to the ill will and want to keep it going by specifically commenting on the discension instead of writing about the topic.

I am writing about the topic (see my post above).
Girl with a Hat said…
Wild Boar, no. It is not in clinical trials. It is in use but very expensive. At least $250,000 I read. So, few can afford it. Look into Jimmy Carter's story - the ex-President of the USA. He had melanoma, I believe, that spread all over his body and the newspapers were announcing his imminent death, as in a matter of days or weeks. That was several years ago.

His treatments with immunotherapy are well documented. They saved his live and restored his health.
@Jenx,

I don't have Lady C's book yet, but I cant give MM a break for her being a cultural fish out of water. Good manners are good manners where ever you go, and if you make a mistake, you give a heartfelt apology and learn not to do it again.

This implies that we in the US are not taught proper manners, and that's just not true. Some families consider proper manners important and are trained from an early age. Other families don't put much importance on manners. But to bunch all Americans as crude misfits is completely unfair and wrong.

MM just does what she wants and mostly gets away with it. She knows better most of the time. The rules concerning pushing ahead of Harry and HMTQ are not rocket science, and MM is not stupid. One correction, and most people would know not to do it again.

Asking for the largest, flashiest tiara is just bad manners, when all MM would have to say is, " I will be happy with whatever tiara Her Majesty wishes to loan to me and feels is proper for the occasion."

MM is just pushy and greedy, and she is giving citizens of the US a bad name internationally with her antics.

I think Skippy will be happy to know Harry is enjoying himself (in the sun). She adores Harry.

Girl with a Hat said…
Charles once spent 1 month at the Admiralty, 1 month at Army HQ and 1 month at Air Force HQ to prepare him for being King.

So, I think it's natural that William spent some time at the Intelligence Services.

Harry must have been green with envy.

I've met some children of fabulously wealthy or successful people. I can attest that there's nothing more stifling to a person than living in their parents' shadow. The BRF must know this and to their shame, they allow this problem to continue, generation after generation.

The answer isn't to indulge the child, but rather to seek out the child's interests and talents and to spend a lot of time in developing them so that the child can develop a sense of confidence and competence away from that of their older siblings. The BRF can afford to do this, for example, hiring tutors to help them in school or coaches in athletic activities.

Zara Phillips is an excellent example of someone who has found her own way in life with the benefit of her family's resources.

@lighthealer Astrid you mentioned Archie was as still as death. Remember that photographer who takes photos of babies dressed as flowers, etc? She can only do that in the first week from birth because when they are sleeping, they sleep so deeply you can do anything with them— swaddle, unswaddle, place in the middle of a sunflower, etc. They don’t wake up, but there is a limited window from birth that you can do this, an the first week is best. Anne Geddes is the photographer.

My husband gave me a coffee table book over a decade ago, and I believe that is where I read about the first week of life and taking photos.
William visited the Vauxhall building where MI6 is based not MI5. ;o)
SwampWoman said…
Girl with a Hat, I believe Princess Margaret's children have happily found their own way as well.
Jenx said…
@lighthealefastrid LCC strongly alludes to the possibility of a surrogate without actually saying so. I think the BRF is containing the Archie story to protect the monarchy.

IMO It would seem MM was always a step or two ahead because no one could have ever predicted the enormity of her arrogance and audacity. The BRF were left on the back foot (is that the right term my British nutties?) They were reacting after the fact. So moonbumps and baby dolls being used without their knowledge prior leaves the BRF in a bit if a sticky wicket.

And ... finished the book. Doesn't look like they are going anywhere soon. Best case scenario ... JH returns to the fold and is rehabilitated and the other one fades into Instagram oblivion.

none said…
Dr. Eowyn ~ Completely agree with you. On all points.
Girl with a Hat said…
SwampWoman, yes, you're right.

With all of the connections the BRF have in finance, in education, in sport, it's amazing that there isn't a concerted effort to try to help the spares find their talent in life.

I think it's because old money think it common to earn a living, until the money runs out, and then they have a new found respect for the rewards of hard work.

European royalty aren't particularly physically fit either. They should all be out jogging and doing sports (not just the younger ones) based on the tradition of having a king was that the best fighter would rise to rule above the others.

Personally, I can say that this not what Lady C is saying or even implying. From what she's saying, what works in the US doesn't necessarily work in the UK and the other way round. I can't quote specific examples and it's difficult to go back to particular passages on a Kindle. Lady C talks of a cultural divide between the two countries but only to explain why MM was more liked in the US. There was certainly no criticism of American people or their manners.
Fairy Crocodile said…
@Girl with a Hat

Sorry to say but this particular spare doesn't seem to have anything to offer to the world at all. He is useless. For the royal family to be able to "find a place" for him he should at least be good at something. What is Harry good at?

Looks like they tried the default military angle and it was a failure too, if I believe what I read. So he ended up with a toy solder honorary role, which he happily betrayed for Hollywood. They created a charity for him, good and all that, but he kept complaining about his position anyway. Charity, obviously, not being good enough for our talented Mr. Harry.

Colin-Campbell is ruthless describing what palace staff took to call him. "Bl***w Job Harry".

Looks like his one major interest is sex. Apart from a distinguished career of a porn actor I am struggling to suggest any other role for such gifted individual.

@manekiNeko

Exactly. A vast cultural divide that goes much deeper than superficial manners. Diplomats don't have serious training for nothing.
Girl with a Hat said…
@Fairy Crocodile - I think that everyone is good at something, relative to other people. The attitude of the BRF and the aristocracy doesn't help because people like Harry know that they will be indulged and there are no expectations he has to live up to.

He may be dyslexic but perhaps he is good at photography, running, cooking, playing the piano.... The problem is that these are all considered hobbies for the BRF, and not suitable for the spare as a potential career.
HappyDays said…
JocelynsBellinis said…
Now I see why MM and JH visited the charity, Homeboy Industries. It's a HUGE MULTI-NATIONAL charity, with a donor list that has many big names and multi-national corporations as donors.

@JocelynsBellinis...

That’s why they delivered the meals from an LA area charity several weeks ago too. That charity has a number of big names in Hollywood who support the meals program.

Also likely the reason why Meghan is suddenly down with the struggle to support BLM, which has existed since 2016. Since the George Floyd killing, celebrities and huge corporations have flocked to associate themselves with BLM. Meghan waited to see who was supporting BLM and when there were a sufficient number of famous people and well-known corporations supporting it, she latched on like a tick on a dog.

In Toronto, she used Cory, Jessica, Misha and Markus plus the Canadian connections into the United Nations and World Vision Canada to network her way into Harry’s social circle to climb the greasy pole, and now back in LA, she is using anyone she can connect with and these charities to enhance her facade and network her way up the greasy pole there while perched on Harry’s shoulders.

@ Tatty That's interesting. Mine was a squirming peanut during her very first "Has this one attached properly?" ultrasound and remained this way until she was about 14. Keeping her still when she was a newborn was a nightmare (and very cute).
@Swamp Woman. I don't believe he knew either. He was apparently surprised in Australia and possibly she pulled a Coben plot and became untouchable.

@Girl with a hat

I see your point and it is legitimate. I am sure younger minor royals with brains can benefit from this. Lets however imagine Harry is good at polo and wants to step above the hobby stage to turn it into a living. Lets say his granny is fine with it.

He can become a polo coach. He can train wealthy people. I am sure while he was a full member of the royal family many would want to be his clients.

But it involves hard work. Being at certain places at certain times. Working several days a week. Putting somebody else's wishes above his own. Learning to deal with different people, some of them unpleasant. Controlling temper. Keeping his mouth shut. Paying taxes. You name it

Do you really see the Harry that is a real Harry able to do all this? Whatever he may choose to do for profession he will have to behave as a professional. He can't do this after years of being "yessed" to, he is spoilt rotten. No, the "profession" he wants for himself is to complain from the stage about his tough life. Or tell others what they ought to do.

I don't see Harry able to work as professional in any field.

I do not contribute enough to have a say in how Nutty does or does not run her blog and I certainly have no sinister motivation in her giving up control and I can see how she would even be leery in having virtual "stranger" play cleanup after hours as I am sure it would involve passwords and private stuff etc.

I just got really frustrated. On a phone it is different animal navigating site. I read through email so even if someone were to delete the negativity it will forever be visible to me.

So much insight and thoughtful posters and,at times, I feel there are so many more amazing thoughts and opinions we miss out on due to the waves of infighting

unknown said…
SO, speaking of the cultural divide...I come at this a bit more nuance.
I am 32F (american) and my husband is 35M (british). We have had a child in the USA and the UK (at the lindo wing). When I moved to the UK, just down the road from KP, I also ignorantly did not appreciate the cultural differences and had a tough time. It is vastly different.

Meghan, being completely self-involved, would indeed have a very tough time moving, marrying AND having a child in the UK and attempting to bring up said child (she fired all the nannies in the beginning) all within 18 months. This is why she shouldn't have rushed things.

@Unknown ~ This blog has lost many excellent posters due to the trolling.
Girl with a Hat said…
@HappyDays

Meghan was also introduced and became friends with Sophie Trudeau through Jessica Mulroney. Jessica Mulroney's sister-in-law is also a minister in the Ontario government and another is also prominent.
It would be interesting to be a "fly on the wall" as the BRF discuss how Harry is portrayed (accurately it sounds like) in LCC book. He is pathetic. He is a spoiled brat. He is a "pierce of work" that the BRF could not or would not curtail.

Going forward do they continue to try the Hero Harry approach? I would suggest they throw up their hands, say we tried, and let him continue to show his true colours. Is there a chance he will harm himself? Possibly, but you can't have him committed (against his will, not voluntarily) until he does try to harm himself. He may be a child emotionally but in the eyes of the law he is an adult.

Sometime you really do have to step back because there is nothing you can do. All you can do is try to minimize the harm this person will do to you.

Many people, after trying everything and exhausting all resources to include their own finances, have had to take a step back from a family member that is self destructing. The lesson learned was that it does not do any good if you "save" that person but destroy others (yourself especially) in the process.

Harsh but true.

@Happy days
Now that I have more insight into how that mind works I can see her getting SS to set up the charity visits then somehow wrangling the charity to pay the fee to have them there. So, while the duo might not be paid directly the charity covers their PR fees. Preston. Free publicity.

I didn't believe this at first and for months but just recently it makes sense. Especially in light of the Virus blog being shot down and the trouble here starting up right afterward. I also am suspect of one who claims to be so devoted but keeps talking about it. it is almost like "he who doth protest too much". Strange. Enemies of the blog can be very shrewd. experienced and "hide" in plain sight.
@MustySyphone,

I agree. Harry is an adult, so if the BRF can't control him, they have to let him go. Yes, they may love him and may be worried that he may harm himself, but if he doesn't want to help himself, there is nothing else that they can do.

He can't hold the entire BRF emotionally and financially hostage, and he has used three countries financially, as well.

At this point, I'm not sure that he is as emotionally unstable as he portrays himself to be. It could all be an act to garner sympathy for MM and himself. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was so, egged on by MM. He's proven himself to be completely untrustworthy.

Unfortunately, even if their titles are stripped, they will always be referred to as the former duke and duchess.

"Just call me Harry," is a joke. He and MM thrive on their titles.

I would be devastated if Nutty's blog disappeared. I use it for fun and deeply needed relaxation. Also I am not a talented and insightful contributor like some but I try, usually interjecting a humorous comment, factoid or reasoned opinion when I can but so many others do so much better in analysis.

I have the same motivation as all of you, to see justice prevail with the HAMS. Although am an American I have respect and deep curiosity about the BRF. I am addicted to this blog and want it to remain!!!! It is the best blog on this subject I think, although Harry Markle is good read usually and Crowns of Britain is a hoot, it is the good Nutties whose opinions I like to read the most!

@SDJ no, she doesn't. She doesn't touch on many of those incidents probably because they couldn't be substantiated. Which I think gives credibility to what she does address.
abbyh said…

Homeboy Industries.

I was jaw dropped at the idea of an annual report with no real columns of numbers. Especially since these are 2017 numbers which are supposed to be better than 2016.

So I looked them up on Charity Nav and that was interesting. 3 of 4 stars (previously have been 2 or 3 on and off). Their most recent numbers are 2018 where they had over a million plus at the end of the fiscal year. https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=11556

I draw your attention to a couple of things: numbers could be a little more current (like where is 2019), CN notes some issues with records documentation and destruction policy, missing the 990, lack of audited financials, donor policy privacy issues and so on. 8% ar fundraising is actually quite good and 12% for admin expenses. They do compare it to several other similar supportive organizations which all do it better.

Lady C does briefly mention the UN speech with regard to the 'dish-wash soap' story.
She questions the veracity of it.
@HappyDays,

I agree. I looked into the financials and donors of the other charity and posted it here.

I'm not so sure that MM has dropped JM as a friend. It could be a ploy to move herself into the BLM movement. MM and JM are symbiotic, and their ties to the SoHo House are where they feel they will gain more international recognition through their contacts there. JM doesn't need the money from any of her enterprises, so losing them are of no consequence to her. All she wants is fame, as MM does.

I think JM is still involved, as MA is. By the way, where is MA? He's certainly been quiet lately, probably pulling the strings behind the scenes. MM isn't going to give those two up. They are her only hope at this point. And Sunshine Sachs.

As an American, I see your point. I see some others are saying LCC wasn't saying that and maybe she wasn't.

BUT it is most certainly true that in many American situations, newcomers trying to take over and reform work situations, neighborhood cultures, church traditions, family rituals, and so on are not welcomed. And that's been M's main offense IMO. And it sounds like she's done that all her life starting with ordering children around at childhood birthday parties.

In a blurb from @Miggy:

"...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.....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. "

I honestly don't think that sort of self-entitlement is seen as "admirable" in many US circles. It's cringeworthy here too when there is a known hierarchy or when there are defined roles. Maybe that sense of entitlement goes in parts of Hollywood (sometimes). And among young teenagers and among some particularly F'ed up senators. Not "many" circles IMO.

Students telling teachers how to teach, lawyers telling judges what to do in open court, children ordering parents around, patients demanding doctors arrive at a certain diagnosis, houseguests demanding homeowners cook certain meals, no. And even in Hollywood, co-stars with low billing in a movie telling the star how to play a scene? Hardly.

So yeah, she's ill-mannered but not because she's American.

Hi Ladies! Did Anyone in the US order LCC's book from Watersones in the UK? The shipping is almost $13. If you did order, do you know how long it takes to get it here? I'm trying to decide if it's worth it.

A couple of you have mentioned that HM is trying to protect the Crown by not letting the story of Archie's birth be told. I think it makes them look weak. I never thought HM would let things go this far. M&H are basically running all over the family. I'm an American, so what do I know. Meghan's actions are so disturbing, who knows what she'll do.

I picture her up at all hours of the night, reading blogs and comments about them and then coming up with stories to try and help their reputation. I may be wrong but she seems frenzied in a mental health kind of way.

I love your blog nutty. I really don't like it when you are criticized. You have a life and you set up this place for us to chat. I scroll past certain names. I think feeding them keeps them coming back. They want that.

I am expecting my Lady C book soon... maybe today? I will try to pop in here and see if things have calmed down and share any insight. Hope everyone has a good day.

@Girl with a Hat I reached out to this particular poster briefly out of genuine concern for her(?) mental health. I agree there has been an avalanche of insanity on this blog but most of it, frankly, comes from one source (with seemingly a number of aliases, perhaps in order to amp up the victim narrative?) What I got in return was a bucket of vitriol and no answer to my direct query. Don't take sides until you've been through EVERY post here and can see the whole picture.

@flowers I would shy away from ordering through mail as shipping is a mess. I have ordered items online that literally took one month to reach me within my own country. I also shipped priority package overseas mid April that is still sitting in customs. Maybe things are different between UK and US, my problems involve both UPS and USPS but maybe they use different shipper

I see alot of people reading E-version by using UK kindle address, go over to plants blog for more specifics

Thank you Miggy for sharing excerpts, keep forgetting to do so!

@Miggy ... just another voice wanting to thank you for all the entertaining snippets you provided from LCC's book - most appreciated!

@Flowers Family - Hi neighbor! I, too, am in middle Georgia and it's definitely hot and muggy - no rain yet today but I'm sure we'll get something - the afternoon is young!

OKay, there is no excuse for this. None. If someone insults you or whatever, then tell that person your mind and that is it.

The level of cruelty displayed here is seriously disgusting. How do you expect someone to take YOU or anyone else seriously after you turn around and say such horrible things?

It's like someone being rude to the waiter on a date. You really think that you can go back to a normal conversation after that?

It's enough. I am not going to be a witness to someone urging someone else to suicide and stand idly by.

Flowers Family said…
Thanks for the information about shipping. I have pre-ordered on Amazon US. I might see if I can it through a UK address.
OKay said…
@Girl I believe you are being played and that the so-called "victim" is the only one doing the victimizing. You do whatever you feel you need to do, but I've been here since the very first post and I know there are mostly good people here.
lucy said…
@girl with hat I agree with your sentiments but what you are failing to realize is they are saying it to themselves. Think deeply

To @unknown at 9:07pm you are a jerk and you really should get off your butt and do some laundry

See.

>>>Cat Eyes, you do not have to be subjected to this.<<<

Thank you very much for following through and reporting it. The offending poster ought to thank their lucky stars I have strength to live (so there is no blood on their hands). Thank you, your words give me hope. I did not respond sooner because I had a 'virtual' appt w. my physician.

These very same posters speaking out are all singing the same song. One told me to quit responding, I did. More importantly I did Exactly what the Nutty Crowd told me to do, Not Engage. And This happens.

I don't mean to be unknown. Somehow I got logged off of my account and no matter what I do to sign back in ,when I go to post it reverts back to unknown. I am hoping with a new post I can try again to subscribe to email under correct account

@flowers you may have success with Amazon. They seem to have better shipping infrastructure

@unknown 9:19pm you have a cute butt! Haha sorry

Nutties:

To the many posters who told me repeatedly To Not Engage, Please tell me what to do now?

@cateyes depending on what device you are currently using there should be an X at top left or right corner of screen.

Nutties

Ignore my question as to what to do now. I will continue to Not Engage and see how long they keep it up.

If any of you tach savvy people know what I can do to differentiate myself in any way from the abusers please let me know! I will do anything to disprove their wild claims.

I am even willing to post my email and phone number to trap these people who want to harass. Because surely they aren't stopping. That way they will post or call and I can have the Police track and prosecute.

And what is that supposed to do?
CatEyes said…
@DI

I tried the trick the poster yesterday mentioned about clicking and got nothing but a drop down menu which had no option to do anything about comments. :(

Where do you collapse comments (that same tap method)? However skimming over comments doesn't stop these people from posting abusive missives.
D1 said…
@CatEyes

As this is an open forum, you are not going to be able to stop people posting.

Just click on whosoever comments you want to read and ignore the rest.
CatEyes said…
@D1

Guess you haven't Read ALL the Nutties who say they don't like the abusive posts. They don't wan the trash on the site. They don't want to scroll past, go jump thru tech hoops to see the comments.

That is also why Google has Terms of Service which prohibits this conduct and states have enacted laws saying certain bullying rises to level of a criminal act and my state says you can't use another's persona. I'm sorry to have be educational but this has been addressed before (it seems you are Brand New here).

If you had your way, this could be called 'Capitol Hill Nutty Autonomous Zone'. How fitting, no law and do whatever you want. PS. Even the original CHAZ had a shooting of 2 the other day, so anarchy again does not work well.

If push comes to shove and a safe place is needed.
I have an empty blog for the mo, you guys are more than welcome to use it until something else it set up.
@Girl in a hat-
Thanks for the info on immunotherapy - I assume my friend's getting it on on the NHS. Sorry, I got my Ms muddled.

We still haven't come to a settled conclusion about whether H was snared or complicit from the start.

How about this as a hypothesis: it was a bit both.

H has always been resentful about coming second to William. Diana's treatment of him did him no favours.

He'd have liked to be free of royal obligations but the perks were too good. Furthermore, he's always been a bone-idle toad who expects to have everything handed to him on a plate. He has no drive, initiative or brains to set up a life for himself, rather than being a prince who's been turned into a frog by his wifie -

I saw it alleged that the first `date' with MM was for a short-duration, commercial transaction involving rumpy-pumpy or whatever H fancied. Perhaps he expected to be able to apply the 3Fs principle: Feed, F-ck and Forget?

M, however, had other ideas.

She made herself unforgettable, for a little while. Perhaps he tried to forget her but it fell apart at Tom Inskip's wedding and then at the IG in Toronto. As Harry Markle suggested, it did look as if Markus was threatening Harry.

Somehow, she did trap him; blackmail is suspected.

She reinforced the move by offering their `marriage' as a means of escape from the RF on their terms. In cahoots with her, he was prepared to do what he never dared to do on his own.

So, his natural inertia kept him in the RF to start with; it now keeps him in thrall to her. He's truly gutless, spineless and brainless.

The current situation bears a striking similarity to the situation at the end of the reigns of both Elizabeth I and Victoria - two highly respected monarchs of advanced years, the one who had dropped the reins as far as naming her successor was concerned, the other suffering from the absence of a husband who had been her rock.

Poor HM.

If it is MM or her flying monkeys who are trolling us, it shows that we are thinking on the right lines.

God save the Queen.

CatEyes-- You an internet psycho of the highest degree. You are in the top 20 of internet psychos. You shit all over this forum yesterday. You showed everyone and lots of newbies what a lying ass you are. Everyone should ignore you. You don't exist. So wail away idiot child! Better yet, get busy, go take care of your imaginary livestock for a few months.

Think about how they are trying to get you to respond, throwing everything they can at you, attacking you, your family, your history - think it as this is SS/MM trying to get you to be the weakest link on the board so you break, react and they get a good feeling of being a bully to you and maybe they can get Nutty shut down.

If you are into mental imagery, think of flushing them down the loo or you as being able to walk past them because they are insignificant - not worthy of your time/energy or thought.

The more you think about how horrible they are, what they just wrote, remember that means they are living rent free in your head. Evict them. (think about some nice things you can do with your brother, even if you can't physically do much, talk about good memories every time you find yourself thinking about them again).

Every time you don't respond, give yourself something nice because you didn't fall for their nasty baiting. Because you deserve it for having won over them this time.

Seriously, I do not need to be educated by you or anyone else.

I have been reading this blog for long enough to know what is going on.

I was trying to be polite and unoffensive, went straight over your head.

A Quiet Interlude

 Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event?   Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th?  Oscar's - March 10th?   In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US.  The IRS just never goes away.  Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on).  There's always another one.  Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California.   That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales.   Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere.  But.  The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.  

As Time Passes and We Get Older

 I started thinking about how time passes when reading some of the articles about the birthday.  It was interesting to think about it from the different points of view.  Besides, it kind of fits as a follow up the last post (the whole saga of can the two brothers reunite). So there is the requisite article about how he will be getting all kinds of money willed to him from his great-grandmother.  There were stories about Princess Anne as trustee (and not allowing earliest access to it all).  Whether or not any or all of this is true (there was money for him and/or other kids) has been debated with claims she actually died owing money with the Queen paying the debts to avoid scandal.  Don't know but I seem to remember that royal estates are shrouded from the public so we may not (ever) know. However, strange things like assisting in a book after repeated denials have popped up in legal papers so nothing is ever really predicable.   We are also seein...

The Opening Act of New Adventures in Retail

 I keep thinking things will settle down to the lazy days of spring where the weather is gorgeous and there is a certain sense of peacefulness.  New flowers are coming out. increasing daylight so people can be outside/play and thinking gardening thoughts.  And life is quiet.  Calm. And then something happens like a comet shooting across the sky.  (Out of nowhere it arrives and then leaves almost as quickly.)   An update to a law suit.  Video of the website is released (but doesn't actually promote any specific product which can be purchased from the website).  A delay and then jam is given out (but to whom and possible more importantly - who did not make the list?).  Trophies almost fall (oops).  Information slips out like when the official date of beginning USA residency.  (now, isn't that interesting?) With them, it's always something in play or simmering just below the surface.  The diversity of the endeavors is really ...
