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
@Blithe Spirit: if they're boycotting Facebook, does that mean they're boycotting Instagram too, since FB owns IG & WhatsApp? After they helped her & Mr. Just Harry Markle steal the @SussexRoyal handle from a civilian football fan?
Speaking of being derogatory toward Asians, are we really shocked at the hipocrisy of the Woke anymore? Literally someone on CDAN who's as anti-Trump as Meghan is acted like a jingoist/supremacist toward me today!! 😂😂😽 She sounded like she wanted a Wall more than Trump does, described foreigners as "clamoring" to enter the US. Said all sorts of nasty things about Indonesia, yet she can't even accept an election result like an actual citizen of a civilised democracy. ("If Trump gets elected, I'm moving to Canada where I'll be safe under the protection of totes not-and-never-evar-racist Justin Trudeau." 🤣🤣) I wasn't even trolling her I swear. She just got all triggered on her own. Woke Meghan married a Nazi uniform-wearing 1984-born man & together they will lead the BLM movement & take hateful Facebook down. Sure.
didn't instagram refuse to simply transfer all subscribers to their new account when they had to drop the sussex royal? It is against ig policy to do so.
Undoubtedly susSex duo has a huge axe to grind because of that. They are pretty enough and stupid enough.
Bless you ladies and your Zoom meetings I could never do that! Conference calls sucked the life out of me, couldn't imagine being On Screen on top of it
I am one of those too that wash their hair every day. On lockdown I didnt and just a greasy mess. I even had free sample of dry shampoo and that proved no help whatsoever
I get Meg wanting to birth an immediate heir but still struggle to grasp why they decided to pull biggest con ever with fake pregnancy. I suppose if only for all eyes to be on Her for 10 months. Crazy
Yes, let's see if they can bring themselves to boycott IG. Not holding my breath.
Sorry you had to deal with that hateful racism. Wilful ignorance and arrogance masquerading as 'woke' warriors are some of the most toxic elements out there.
I don't think you can determine parentage based on a one-year olds looks. Sorry. If you put my adult niece in a room full of other young women and asked to pick out her parents, you'd pick my sister and her husband every time. Its so obvious. Her infant pictures on up she's the spitting image of the two of them. The only problem is, she was adopted. Yep, not a drop of common blood.
Just saying be careful in declaring parentage based on looks.
My sister’s children look more like they should be my children than my own children.....

‘work is the rent you pay for life’ and ‘life is for living and working at. If anything or anyone bores you, then the fault is in yourself.’ These would stand her in good stead with the adult Elizabeth, but for the moment she limited herself to those maxims as well as the one which would ensure that her youngest daughter would have good posture: ‘Never look at your feet.’

As her niece Margaret Rhodes observes in her memoir, The Final Curtsey, Elizabeth could not be hurried.
Whether it was the threat of bombs raining down on them during an air raid at Windsor Castle, or something more mundane, such as accepting a proposal she had been angling for, she functioned at her own sweet pace. No one and nothing were permitted to alter that pace. This stillness was both extremely passively aggressive and effective, for it forced everyone and everything to adjust their tempo to hers. In so doing, she silently asserted that their will was subservient to hers. This gave her a tremendous subliminal advantage in her negotiations with others, for, whether they were aware of it or not, once they had adjusted their speed to hers, they were actually declaring that they had surrendered their will to hers.
Ladies and Gents I present the previously known as Her Royal Highness and current Duchess of Sussex, sleeping on a borrowed couch in LA, Meghan Markle

Hi Bennie,
Thank you for the lovely feedback! we appreciate you and your loyalty.
Your order is currently awaiting publication and is due to be released on
Publication date 28 Jun 2020
It will be dispatched to you shortly after this date as soon as we have received it from our supplier.
Kind regards,

Has anyone else in the US ordered Lady C's book from the Book Depository in the UK? I just checked on the status of my order of the hard copy of the book and was surprised to see it still listed as "Awaiting Publication". Does anyone have any thoughts or insight on what may be happening? I thought it would have been shipped out by now.
I've got my copy on order from them, too. While in this time of Covid anything is possible, I would not panic.
Booksellers (and libraries) are obliged to abide by the 'Street Date'--the official day of publication--before they are allowed to display the item or sell it. I would assume this extends also to shipping. On my Book Depository account the status on my order says 'Shipping 6/28'. Which is a Sunday, but they must be working double-time to fufill all the orders. Techinically they are still 'Awaiting Publication' if the official UK street date isn't until Sunday or Monday.
I used to work in a music store, where Tuesday was 'drop day' on the new releases and we were not allowed to display any of those items until the open of business on Tuesday, even if we had received them prior. I think books are the same, in the U.S., though UK publishers might have a different day of the week. Tuesday was selected to drive retail traffic to the stores at the beginning of the week when things are normally very slow.
Now that I work in a library, we get boxes of new releases from publishers with a 'Do Not Display Until xx/xx/xx" on them. I've heard a few contradictory dates for the UK release and I know some Nutties have already received theirs. The BD website might not have been updated since it's the weekend. I am looking forward to getting my copy next week so I hope there are no snafus, though shipping internationally may be delayed right now. I am consciously avoiding reading too many excerpts until I get my own copy. I don't want to spoil all the tea before I even get it!
Apologies....I meant to type @Wullie'sBucket!

Cannot think of anything to say about MM apart from according to DM she expects to make £1000000 per speking engagement - obviously thinks she is worth more than Obamas
She paints Markle as being a helpful person to classmates but I've heard many rumours that Meghan was the school bully and many had to leave the school because they couldn't stand the bad treatment they received at her hands.
Also,the videos of her ordering around her little friends at her friend's birthday party leads me to believe that Meghan wasn't the little humanitarian she was painted to be.
Disappointed in LCC
Wow, that sounds quite delusional to me. Whenever I've attended some large conference with various motivational speakers, it was either somebody that has some very impressive business building creds or somebody that persevered through incredible odds to conquer in their chosen field. Charities can't pay that amount; corporations can line up a lot of very talented people that actually have useful things to say.
If she had 20 years' worth of successful experience in building businesses/brands and was a great speaker that was capable of imparting the knowledge about how to go forth and conquer to the people listening, maybe.
If she's as big a nutcase as I think she is, could be that the teachers don't want to have targets locked on themselves. Look at the mass craziness that has gone on here when people were just discussing the book. I think the crazy would be amped up x 1,000.

Royals At War: The Inside Story of Harry and Meghan's Shocking Split With the House of Windsor details the couple's struggles moving to LA
The new book is by Andy Tillett and Dylan Howard and it comes out on Tuesday
It also details Meghan Markle's determination 'to always get what she wants'
Have you read any excepts of it? I have, it reads more like a supportive piece overall of them. The cover says A Stunning Expose: InTouch from my understanding InTouch is no better than People or The Enquirer magazines. I’m hoping some of our American Nutties can clarify. ;o)
From the Daily Mail
'Meghan has always been fascinated with the creation of a 'brand,'' a former friend told the authors. 'I do not believe she married Harry with that solely in mind, but it was a determining factor.'
I guess the other determining factor was the wealth?
I was shocked to see her in this photo. I know she isn't as tall as she would like us to believe, but this photo shows her to be very short and disproportionate. I am shocked by her appearance.
I always find that truly unattractive women over compensate for their lack of feminine appeal, but to think that Harry found such a woman attractive enough to marry boggles the mind.
I read the DM’s piece and then looked the book up on Amazon, I wasn’t impressed overall . It doesn’t have positive things to say about the Cambridge’s. I just don’t consider InTouch to be great journalism or to understand a British perspective. :o/
That is what I am missing with charlatan duchess gone all the awful pics and snark. We need more! More! More!
Hi @Christine! Welcome to our little zone, it didn't used to be so bad.

Just thinking about what people are saying re the possibility of a surrogate and did TRF know about it. Possibly an out for them if it is ever reliably confirmed could be along the lines of
“We didnt know about til after the fact (either conception or birth). After discussions with our (appropriate) medical people it was concluded that as a mental health issue best advice was to play along while helping them adjust to reality. If they didnt want to be kind to Megan it could be along the lines of to protect Hs mental health and his physical health if M was going to take it out on him.
Your thought?
On a side note found this while I was looking for extracts

My favourite para is
They had plans, they said. BIG plans. And what were those plans exactly? Basically to remain famous and have money flow into their bank accounts from … somewhere. Sounds fool proof. I’m kinda annoyed my accountant hasn’t hooked me up on this same financial plan.
I echo what @Jenx said... KEEP READING!! :)
Big tell will be how their "year of review" is handled. That to me is make or break time
At some point respect will be lost, they are full on enabling all this and how pathetic it is to read headlines of Charles juggling money to fund them? They both are entirely shameless. I could not imagine asking my dad for $100 let alone millions to fund my unemployed adventures
Good on them for at least seeking their speaking engagements to earn a few bucks but how realistic is that? What in the world do they have to offer? People clamoring to hear them speak of _____?
GREAT seeing you!
Have a wonderful evening all!!!!
I would like to know if the child is biologically Harry's but it's none of my damn business as an American. It may be the UK public has some viable reason for knowing since it could affect the line of succession in the respected and valued institution which the BRF is to its people. Overall I am trying to be charitable rather than give in to curiosity about someone's private affairs.
And yet another Megs and Harry book

The new book is by Andy Tillett and Dylan Howard and it comes out on Tuesday
It also details Meghan Markle's determination 'to always get what she wants'.
@Piroska: From reading the DM article, it doesn’t sound like Meghan is being portrayed in a flattering light at all. The pull quotes from the book that made it into this article make Meghan sound like the toxic narcissist most of us know she is.
I think it is more negative than positive about Meghan, and the quotes about Harry cast him correctly as dim-witted and weak minded. I still think things will not end well for him, but I hope it happens after a divorce so Meghan won’t be able to portray herself as a victim and become a professional widow while retaining her title for the remainder of her life. I can easily see her professing some word salad as she suddenly becomes the hollowest of anti-drug and suicide prevention campaigners as she professes her love for someone she didn’t care a rip about as she hops from man to man and bed to bed around the world.
Apparently there are going to be dueling Bond premieres on each side of the Atlantic....

Here’s the New York Post’s take on the new book coming out next week. I know how to create a link on this blog, so you’ll need to copy and paste the URL below. With the virus seemingly ramping up again here in the States and hitting California hard, the Harkles may be in lockdown until sometime in the fall if things don’t get better soon.
If anything happens to his grandparents, especially PP, Harry will only have himself to blame because he is too weak and fearful to blame any of his predicament on Meghan.

@ SKANDI SANSKRIT
didn't instagram refuse to simply transfer all subscribers to their new account when they had to drop the sussex royal? It is against ig policy to do so.
Really now? I had no idea about that policy. The thing is, I've seen people change their usernames while I follow them. I mean why can't they just "restart" the account (delete all their posts after backing them up & posting from zero). They can keep their followers that way. I'm all kind of shocked they'd declare boycotting Facebook. But then again we're talking about someone so short-sighted she quit being a royal to be n'a actress in LA again. I was telling someone on CDAN the other day: she must have some type of subconscious self-sabotage issue going on...

@Scandi Sanskrit,
Yes, let's see if they can bring themselves to boycott IG. Not holding my breath.
Sorry you had to deal with that hateful racism. Wilful ignorance and arrogance masquerading as 'woke' warriors are some of the most toxic elements out there.
Eh, I'm used to Americans being condescending toward Indonesia... 🤷🏻♀️🐈💜 Though I will day one was particularly vicious!! , I'm more amused that she thinks she's a Leftie! 😂😂 I love it when Wokies reveal themselves to be the real bigoted ones. Says more about them than it says about me... 🍹

@Scandi I am going to guess your given name is Mary. I haven't been to cdan in couple weeks now, site is nearly impossible to load. I do recall interacting with you over there. I remember telling you I thought you were quirky and fun and you should start your own youtube channel, had to be a couple years ago now and no idea of context of conversation other than that but if you remember, that was me, hi! :)
Maria actually. It's so common I have no issue stating it on anonymous blogs because like 10% of the world's female population is named some variation of Mary. Lol... The Scandinavian diminutive is less used... Also thank you for your kind words at CDAN. If you can't get it to load use this link: https://disqus.com/home/forum/crazydaysandnights1/

@Nutty_Flavor: hey Nutty!!~
Interesting....
Good of you to stop by your own blog. If you read your blog's comments, you'll notice that a great amount of the "Wow, more than 1000 posts!" have been made by people causing serious problems on your blog, not posts made by serious or long-time posters. Many of your wonderful regular readers have left because of the hundreds of comments made by people spewing the worst kind of vitriol.
And all we get from you is "Wow! More than 1000 posts," as if that is a good thing. You're smart enough to know that quality is more important than quantity, Nutty.
I know that people will say that if I don't like the way you've run your blog, to just leave, so that's what I'm doing after your so care-free post, congratulating yourself on getting more than 1,000 comments. You show no real interest in helping your regular readers to have a decent place to post. You don't even engage with your readers anymore, and have been absent and completely silent far more than you've taken the time even check on your own blog to clean out the hatred that has been spewed here in recent days.
I had hoped that once you decided to blithely pop in to check your own blog, you'd be horrified by what has been happening here, but all we get from you is "Wow! More than 1,000 posts!" That is really a slap in the face to your faithful commenters who have been with you since your first announcement of this blog on CDAN.
I know that as a reporter, you can bang out your blog subject posts in less than 10 minutes, and then you leave, with no concern as to what has been happening here- on your own blog, and that is pure neglect. If you're too busy to properly admin a blog, perhaps you're too busy to have one.
So, as so many of your other regular, long-time posters have, I'm leaving your blog, too. Hopefully, you will take some interest in your blog in the future, and it will return to the great blog it once was. Your neglect has ruined your own blog, Nutty. Now you have just a handful of posters trying to keep your blog afloat.
I will miss the few wonderful posters that have remained here, and I certainly do miss the many great posters who have already left. Best wishes to all of you.
Nutty gave us a blog. She doesn't have to be a police person.
If people leave, that's too bad. There are worse things in life, so stop acting like they were murdered. This blog is for fun and that includes Nutty. Honestly... who do you think you are, scolding her like that?
I just spoke to a friend who plans meetings/conferences. She works with various trade associations and normally travels a great deal. Often to Florida, the Bahamas, etc. She said that everything is canceled until at least December. She’s been constantly doing Zoom calls, but there will be absolutely no travel until December, and I honestly believe that it will be postponed beyond that. She is not at the level where she would pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a speaker, but I just wanted to note that, for a person who is always planning & overseeing events, absolutely nothing will be happening until next year.
Hopefully there will be a divorce by then.
As for MM and JH, it sure seems they’re no longer dipping their toes into politics. They’re wading in Will HM tolerate it?
If you really can't live without this type of discussion, I suggest you start your own blog and run it as you see fit instead of placing your own sense of obligation onto a complete stranger.
Unknown, Nutty doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to.
If you really can't live without this type of discussion, I suggest you start your own blog and run it as you see fit instead of placing your own sense of obligation onto a complete stranger.
...........
I expressed my opinion which I am entitled to do and have not placed any sort of obligation on anyone.
It's clear to me there is something preventing Nutty from engaging the way she used to and it's also clear the blog has suffered for it. Those are facts.
I would suggest you take your own advice since as I already pointed out you are behaving in a hypocritical manner by ordering the blog to stop arguing and then engaging in nasty aggressive posts yourself. If you can't live with a chaotic blog then I would suggest you start your own instead of barking at the troll colony in an unmanned forum.
I agree with what you say but what is ironic is that at least the disruptors have left me alone for like 3/4 day. I hesitate to say it is a permanent fix, but I tried (again) to 'Not engage" as Nutties demanded and at least I have not been slammed. I hope but hesitate to think it is permanent though. Unfortunately, my sleuthing and analysis gave me the identity of who the 'Unknown' is; she is posing as 'Fake 'CatEyes','HapsburgHaunted', 'CatEars' and the poster who caused most of the disruption on the Virus blog. Iam deliberately giving the persona a free pass because I desperately want the temporary peace to continue and the blog to be better permanently.
However the bigger issue is exactly what you pointed out, that Nutty doesn't moderate the blog; she does not seem invested in it anymore. I was shocked at how recently the blog was inoperable for 4-5 days and she didn't realize it. She didn't notice because she wasn't paying attention.
Everyone has been complaining about the awful infighting (similar to what happened on her Virus blog). I have no strong indication why this person 'Unknown; is trying to cause the collapse of Nutty's 2nd blog when it appears personal against me. I was not involved with the Virus blog rabid infighting. I have asked and no Nuttie who was on the Virus blog will say any details on the details of its demise. But one thing is sure, Nutty did not intervene at all and let it die.
I had hoped this brief reprieve will continue and this blog survive however if Nutty doesn't monitor it will be inevitable that problems may arise in the future with human nature being what it is. I wan this blog to continue as I do enjoy it even though these people have driven me to the brink. I have not even addressed 'xxxxx' as I am trying not to get personal and set him off. But civility and complete abstinence of insults needs to happen. In addition, posters need to quit ruminating over the problems and move on. I also get challenged on the minute things with posters demanding to explain why I like the blog or why I find it relaxing. Just give it a rest. Quit reminding everyone of arguments and just move on.
In the end, the success of this blog depends ultimately on Nutty. She needs to tell us all to abide by the Goggle Terms of Service. She needs to warn posters to stick to the topic and not be abusive or they will have their comments deleted and if repeated they will be banned.
In the end we all need to try to make a fresh start and concentrate on the topics. If posters relapse then we should ask Nutty to intervene as she is the blogspot owner and is responsible. She also shouldn't play favorites like she has in the past. That undermines goodwill and breeds discontent.
I am taking a risk writing this because these 'disruptors 'may jump on me or even the everyday Nuttie who has baited me in the last couple of days but I am risking it for the sake of the general good..to save this blog!
I think the IG issue is all about control and not giving in. The Queen may have told them not to use the name Sussex Royal, but Markle is not going to give it up. Renaming the account would erase the name. Ideally, she wants a new account with all her old followers, while the Royal account remains unused, but as a memorial and a big passive aggressive shrug toward the Queen.
It must be killing her to go all this time without a social media account to disseminate her propaganda, so you can tell this is a battle she cannot bear to lose.
Please don't think I am fingering you, since you all choose to use the same name. For the sake of peace at this time I am not letting on who is the troublemaker. I am altruistic and seek the greater good, survival of the blog.
.
The tone in here is degenerating to Markle levels. We are better than that. This is Nutty’s party and we are lucky to be guests at her table. I feel strongly that she is owed an apology from several people here. We need to do what Meg only pays lip service to and be kind. Please.
This is Nutty’s party and we are lucky to be guests at her table. I feel strongly that she is owed an apology from several people here.
Amen to that.
Do you think they enjoy the rants you go on addressed to CatEye?
I suggest that if you want the courtiers to read your opinions, that you write them care of Buckingham Palace.
If you have read the Google Terms of Service (IoS) you would know she signed up to agree to its contractual requirements. She is responsible for her blogspot content to conform to the its ToS. We are also responsible for not committing violations.
Since you talk in passionate parochial analogies to excuse Nutty's lack of responsibility than legalities, I wlll use a comparison about being a 'Hostess" (your term). If she was a Hotel owner, hosting people on her site, she would be responsible that laws are followed, the code for hotel operations would be adhered to. If repeated fights, illegal activities, and code violations occurred the Hotel owner would be answerable to infractions and criminal activity.
She decided to start the blog and agreed to the ToS the she needs to fulfill legal, yes Legal obligations! It is my contention if she finally took a strong interest and laid down the law the problems would be solved and future issues would be minor thereby not taking up her precious time.
It is easy for you to let things go unchanged as you are 'Golden' and you never suffer the sling and arrows of abuse. But obviously many if not most posters are wanting things to change for the better; why begrudge them that especially if legally the blog should conform to the law of the land and Googles's ToS at the very least.
A long time ago when Nutty spent time here things were generally better. One thing for sure, they way she is handling it now, Is Not Working!
I am disappointed by Lady C's book. I'm at the part where she talks about Harry in Afghanistan and starting Invictus Games and she paints him out to be a hero.
Please tell me someone that it's not going to be 314 more pages of sycophancy.
Well, well, well.
“Harry’s biggest fear is not being there if his grandmother were to die,” adds a source in the book.
I would think that if that is real truth, given the age of his grandparents, that kind of thing
a) should have been thought up long before this (and if not - why now?)
b) as in a casual mention during Megexit in terms of how the BRF will plan out how they will present her/his passing and the first couple of days ... photos, appearances and so on.
c) at what point would he think about his grandparents and their passing in terms of how it would impact him (and how he would get to live his life - meaning his brother taking over what had been his father's source for paying JH's monthly allowance money)? My personal guess is that that has been discussed with his wife, and how the money will flow when his father moves up, his brother gets bumped up to take over the Duchy and ... what this means for their future.
M and the BRAND!
Do not know which "former friend" is the source for the idea that it was only part of her decision on marriage. I think about in the same way I think about the Omid+ book mentions that she/always thought about how they would move back to her stomping grounds - eventually where she wanted to be but with an HRH label.
At what point, do any of us, think realistically life will go back to how we used to be? Given that a number of states are (like falling apart into the depths equal to the Marianas Trench) not soon (whether you have money or not). If we are really lucky, maybe next year.
So ... the idea that M can pander to his feelings of frustration and this will somehow alleviate any or all frustration is ... probably not realistic. It's lovely that she introduced him to yoga but that's not the same as the thrill of being on polo ponies = action (or at least it would take a while to move to yoga as equal thrill).
"... To Harry’s credit, he has tried to shield Meghan from his stress. So he’ll confide to friends in London over the phone.” um, which friends? I have no idea but I've seen a lot of information which is sourced by a friend of M's over time when it is highly favorable to her ... so I don't know ... and question a lot more than I used to.
... “They are in touch with a number of LA power players and are looking forward to hosting dinner parties with the likes of George and Amal Clooney and big-time movie producer Jeffrey Katzenberg,” says another insider... Um maybe I am clueless but didn't the Clooney's have a place in the UK so they could have come over for dinner when in town? Back when they were all still in the UK? Wouldn't it make some sense to have them over when you have all this new baby adjustment and being able to talk about it with someone who had it with twins not that long ago?
... Meghan, who recently did a highly-publicized voice-over for the Disney documentary film “Elephants,” loves the idea of being the breadwinner with Harry as a stay-at-home dad. Um, did I not remember things correctly? I was thinking that was work for a donation for a good cause not keep the roof over the head thing. I have been wrong before (and willing to admit this).
As for the whole idea of Catherine is upset about this all, we've discussed this earlier (not likely was the general thought - if anything less stress).
Nutty has been distant but did state she was visiting with friends but she needn't answer to us and it was obvious she hadn't been around as she didnt create new post for book release
Everyone needs a break now and again and if that doesn't suit you perhaps you should request refund on your membership fee, oh that's right..
Unbelievable the entitlement! Sorry Nutty wasnt around to delete 200 posts of nonsense from wacko. She checked in well after midnight her time ,but again she owes you or anyone else here NOTHING
I hope for nice fresh start tomorrow with or without your ungratefullness
"Why don't YOU start a new one? You contribute FAR more than Nutty does. Or why can't Nutty add YOU as a co-author to this blog? I am merely expressing my opinion and making suggestions. There ARE solutions if she doesn't have the time."
Great idea, I agree Hikari should coauthor the blog or start a new one. Hikari you spend so much time and write such long missives, even dominating (in a good way) you should use your energy to make things better. I say this even though I suspect I am on that list of 'people' you are threatening to name! Lol
That being said, I don’t know if I would keep posting if this blog moved to another platform. I have pretty much given up on CDAN since it moved to Disqus. I was already getting bored with the repetitive blinds but would usually still skim & sometimes comment. But IMO, the change to the new platform has worsened the trolling, it has become way too political (and that’s allowed), there is one person and her side-kick who think they own the blog, and technically-speaking, it’s just a disaster. So I really would hope that this blog isn’t moved to Disqus.
As far as Wordpress, I would not comment via Facebook. I hate Facebook, and only have one private account and that’s just so I can use the Messenger function to communicate with my relatives in Europe. So that would be a hard no from me. I would read, but not post.
So all in all, I wish that we could get rid of the trolls here, but I wouldn’t expect Nutty to go through 1000 comments to delete posts. I also wish that she would be more involved, but I find that I’m just cutting everybody a lot of slack these days. The world is in a state of utter chaos, and we truly have no idea of what people are feeling/experiencing in their everyday lives. I’m not angry at a friend who said she’d call me today and didn’t because she got too busy (she’s in the process of moving, works full time, and has 2 young kids) so why would I get angry at Nutty who I don’t even know?!
"Sorry Nutty wasn't around to delete 200 posts of nonsense from wacko."
I spent hours today skimming over and picking out the offensive comments including my own and listed the date, times and names not just of the disruptors but the busy bodies who added to the noise. It was less than 30 over 5 days. I am not excusing you(plural not you necessarily) or me for the problem but be accurate. Part of this dissension is that the do-gooders keep the narrative going and won't let things die! They have to keep shaming and blaming. Everyone just take your advice and "Not Engage" like I have been doing for 32 hours.
I finished Lady C's book. Her style is to present a 'balanced' tone to her narrative. I think her strategy to approach the topic this way is to support credibility. By the time you finish the book, you'll see further how/why she does this.
Make no mistake, she's with us on all things Harkle. But I do think that she may have an agenda to support Harry's possible return to the BRF.
Hope you can find some enjoyment in further reading :)

I am so ashamed at being an unknown. One way or another I will fix tomorrow, my issue is technical for those that choose unknown out of privacy or anonymity cant you just create Google account and call yourself a name? I don't see how you feel being "unknown" protects yourself anymore than calling yourself green or purple or at least stick a number after it
Geez poor Nutty waking up to this, real motivating and to nominate others by name to start their own blog is just ill but maybe warranted. Thin the herd only you know She will still sit here too
Such drama I really am ashamed. My apologies to Nutty
Good Points!!
It is a nightmare now with so many and the cacophony is stressful not being able to understand each one's flow of thought and responses etc.
Please get a name for you and for all concerned...respect of others need for clear communication and to attribute and value your contributions! :)
I feel, and it is entirely my own opinion, that sometimes you may create other accounts to either agree or argue with yourself. I am not being confrontational nor argumentative but is impression I get and if that has happened. I would ask that all of that cease. It is so much more enjoyable with the flowing friendly conversations. Sure we will have differing opinions at times but it keeps things lively, it never need be ugly
If I am wrong in what I have stated I offer my sincere and heartfelt apology and call upon all those embattling you to stop
We could really call all this implosion the past and have great fresh start in morning. I am on your side @cateyes
-lucy
I have never seen in all these months a single answer to this question ever, WHY?
See under the guise of being nice to me you act so ugly by sayin nasty things! You are the kind of so-called do-gooder. I remembered many months ago you piled on me with others when I never initiated a comment to you 'lucy'. (I keep a list and your name is near the top). I let it go and that is a hallmark of my humanity but you on the other hand want to say inflammatory things for no good purpise. I pity you, LEAVE ME ALONE FOR THE NTH TIME
I know what I do and what I have said it is enough for ME. I do not create random unknowns I own my shit
It is an 'Unknown' whom has created multiple accounts...'HapsburghHaunted' 'CatEars' fake 'CatEyes' whether that is you are not doesn't matter, It is nasty to play such games especially when one impersonation is a state jail felony.
I have always been 'CatEyes' and who knows the truth, has direct evidence, it is me not you. You are only speculating and you have what is called in law,,,"unclean hands".
As for Harry, both of these types can party HARD. Which is what I think created the attraction and why you see them disheveled. NFJs can drink anyone under the table, and ISFPs love a good time. I do not think they should get married. Harry needed an ESFJ, someone who cares about the family and tradition at their core, not new ideas and adventure. He misunderstands her because she is an ‘ideas’ person and he is a ‘concrete facts’ person. Thus, he can be easily sold by a used car salesman (ie Meghan).
Hope this gives a bit of background to what I’m seeing as they are personality wise. Interestingly, her personality further shows through her communication strategy (never takes responsibility/finds a manipulative way to put the blame elsewhere/convinces her target of her own narrative by twisting everything and making herself a good light/ has ‘friends’ and ‘entities’ speak for them so she can always deflect and confuse) Since they are both deeply unhealthy, entitled, and greedy they will be limited in options. If Meghan wants to be a known entity, she has to become vulnerable which is impossible with her narcissism.

@Scandi Sanskrit,
I think the IG issue is all about control and not giving in. The Queen may have told them not to use the name Sussex Royal, but Markle is not going to give it up. Renaming the account would erase the name. Ideally, she wants a new account with all her old followers, while the Royal account remains unused, but as a memorial and a big passive aggressive shrug toward the Queen.
It must be killing her to go all this time without a social media account to disseminate her propaganda, so you can tell this is a battle she cannot bear to lose.
Oh I get it. She wants her old @SussexRoyal accounts archives like the @POTUS and @FLOTUS accounts. They get archived and their names changed with numbers behind THEM (@FLOTUS44 @POTUS55), and then once you're out of office they issues your personal accounts with their real NAMES, like @MichelleObama & @realDonaldTrump. LOL. Does she really think she's that important?? 😂😂😽
@Aquagirl: you don't need to login via Facebook to use WordPress. You can just get a WordPress account.
Thanks for changing the subject!
That is why it is suggested to create your own identity. I have always had avatar prior to this current post. I couldnt imagine being regular contributor forever posting as unknown as there is no way to differentiate
Love your insights, though I don't know the personality type info.
For all her and Sunshine's attempts to gt her name out there, after all the Lady C snippets, there is "no there, there" -- all of her branding, PR, styling, and merching madness is all for naught. Yes, she is famous but so is Casey Anthony.
None of her word-salad homilies about kindness and thriving, or photo ops "doing good" are likely to help her conquer Hollywood, Broadway, or the White House. She's a fairly empty vessel, and it doesn't seem like ol' Just Harry can fill that vacuum, so to speak.
How in the world did the Windsors let her marry into the family? Boggles the mind, and I'm just grateful that Nutty has provided this blog to debate the question. (No matter WHAT the riff-raff demand of our hostess!)
I can't believe these people want to do this, It is bizarre! But I have to laugh it is so, SO inane!!!!!!!!!! ROTFLOL
I am not wrong. goodnight and goodluck
-lucy
Oh by the way where is xxxx with her exaltation that she is not @cateyes. Wait for it..
and then there will be volley of unknowns swooping in and it is nonstop like this for MONTHS

So you have some incompatibility going on. He knows he can always go back to the RF.
What’s more interesting is ISFPs HAVE to be in control within their Relationship. Hence Harry taking full responsibility in that speech ‘left with no other choice’ ‘had to do this’. He has to FEEL like everything they are doing is HIS decision. He actually believes this is HIS DOING and anything going wrong in L.A. is his fault. Thus we see upset or sad looking Harry in videos. He’s probably upset depressed.
Meanwhile Meghan (ENFJ) is there to convince her target that it WAS his decisions all along and SHE’S the victim of things go wrong. Putting him where he WANTs to be (in control) but manipulatively NOT CARING one iota and continuing to
Achieve her personal (separating him from any other influencer) and financial goals (delusionally trying too).
I have seen the look Of an unhealthy ENFJ who thought she married rich and the day after the wedding the guy told
Her he was in deep debt. After 7 years, he outplayed this woman and it was incredible to watch it. So she still sticks around trying to make her own income off of living off of this guys mansion and decent monthly
Income. ENFJ’s accept what’s going on and try to outwork it.
So, Meghan once she realized Harry didn’t control The purse strings ever in the UK, and probably has limited net worth, hightailed it out of there while laying it on thick to Harry (see ITV interview in Africa lol).
This is also why you’ll see her fringe associate with whomever she can. It’s not that it’s bad (it’s apart of who she is) it just won’t get her anywhere because great wealth comes from great work and ownership of it.
Why? How? The language structure and insults are the same. The writing is the same between the profiles and further not that many people would spend their time on a blog reloading it waiting to respond to ‘defend’ themselves.
It’s a little weird to watch, but I ignore it until others speak up about it.
I just have to sit back and laugh. I knew it would come to this!
I think they are waiting it out and may never have personal social accounts. And use ‘Archewell’ charity as their ‘messenger’. Unfortunately for them, someone else owns Archewell Charity and will be suing them over trademark infringement! Which is, hilarious.
And don't forget Haunted Hapsburg. En Garde!
They either can't afford to do it or actually think somehow they will be able to reactivate sussexroyal
They would look pathetic with 100,000 followers as compared to millions or whatever numbers they had before
Meghan is dying without her access to social media and I believe only reason they haven't come up with even temporary one is they cant legitimately pull those numbers. All that money invested in followers wasted
The 'Unknown' on this blog is fake 'CatEyes', 'HapsburghHaunted' and 'CatEars'. I went back for two weeks and studied their posts, my posts and how her screen names changed after the post by writing dates, times and details. I am very meticulous and was
certainly motivated to ferret out this obnoxious poster
I am inspecting the internet source code to establish the connections between all of them including 'xxxxx'.
-lucy
Idiot child is inspecting jack-shite. You always lie.
Laughing! Well done! You are all seeing and all knowing. Lucy gave it a shot.
Thanks, I think this is all from me tonight.
Can anyone explain the context that it is used in the book?
Thank you
They are trying to copy the Royal playbook (being elusive) is all I’m seeing here. As for followers I believe it was 11.4MM as apart of the Royal family.
I truly think that Meghan is preparing to sue them over the use of it, if the Queen boots them out at the year mark. I think Meghan is expecting to be able to stay Royal, stay political, and Be given the freedom to use the Sussex Royal accounts at that time. I think all this virtue signaling and Harry’s videos is an EFFORT to boost their profile AND prove to the Queen they can be ambassadors of the Crown in America.
Of course that won’t happen. I don’t think the Queen will boot them out entirely (would be hard to get away with that in aristocratic circles) but she may. If she doesn’t, we know her interests aren’t in the crown above all, which would jeopardize the monarchy.
The fact she allowed this one year hoopla is a disgrace. I’m betting they will extend it because of ‘Covid’ which is just par for the course. At least until interest (or faked interest) in Harry dies down. It’s clear Harry doesn’t care what he does with his life or which way the wind blows. He’s along for the ride and eventually will go back home.
Totally unacceptable. He needs consequences. Unfortunately, he will never get them. Sigh.
I’m just so happy for Trevity-Trev-Trev that he is in a new, seemingly happy, relationship.
I wonder if MM &JH signing up with the agency is a way for some people to clean their money? Maybe that is a way of them making money without Archwell foundation?
They are becoming increasingly irrelevant but some may like them being a thorn in the RF's side.
Clearly there is no interest from real speaking events like the one-off Miami event- so this could circumvent that perhaps?
From Lady C's book:
"The conversation concluded with the information that the recently created Duke of Sussex had gained himself a new nickname at the palace. He was now known as Blow Jobs Harry because people there were convinced that his brains had been addled through mind-blowingly good sex."
I mean, is this what the focus should be on near the end? I hope it’s not the end, just never know at those ages. Seriously, it is shocking to me she doesn’t wrangle her family into order. It’s very embarrassing for the British public.
She sounds like, at her age, she wants to play dotinggrandmother full time. Anything’s acceptable and she doesn’t want old age heartache, which could lead to health issues. Maybe that’s why she’s so easy on Meghan and Harry. She probably knows that marriage won’t last anyway so better to keep on and just pretend to ignore the fact they are part of the RF? Seems to be that way as she refused to take away HRH status, but also maybe thought the LA thing would be temporary for Harry. She knows Harry as an impulsive, bothersome, grandchild. So that’s in line with his typical, albeit poorly timed and outrageous, behavior.
If she’s set of being grandmum first, I really think she needs to step aside and let Charles or even William take over.
He’s a prince. I’m sure he’s had amazing adventures with desperate women. Why would Meghan, who is not that attractive, really stand out? The poor woman has no body. So much so, People in the DM call her Spongebob.
People in the DM call her Spongebob.
Lol Really mean, but oh so funny and accurate! ;o)
Trevor looks great and he and his beautiful wife are expecting a baby. I’m sure MM is firmly in his rear-view mirror, as she should be.
I think that HM is expecting that the marriage will end and JH will come back; however, the Harkle’s behavior is truly abhorrent. I don’t understand why they were able to keep any of their patronages (especially MM) and their constant Zoom calls, letters, etc. are truly an embarrassment, as are their leaks to the press. And who is paying Sunshine Sachs? The Duchy of Cornwall? At the very least, their Sussex titles should be removed as should MM’s HRH title, which she didn’t deserve in the first place. JH could still return (alone) under those circumstances, and I think that it would make the British people feel as though she’s doing ‘something.’ It isn’t helping her image that she’s in lockdown mode (which she absolutely has needed to be.) I think she’s been doing a great job inspiring the nation during COVID, but yet it appears that she cannot (or will not) get her family in order.
I think her boxy shape and real inability to dress herself (what is WITH that)...coupled with the fact she walks with her legs agape in tightish dresses...it looks odd. Why not walk one foot in front of another. And she stands stoically with her legs agape. Her strut and leg positioning actually really bothers me. Close your legs Megs!
Just more lack of etiquette.
Lets hope his Bye Fellatio uprising comes sooner, rather than later...
UGH....
Apparently there are going to be dueling Bond premieres on each side of the Atlantic....
https://www.thesun.co.uk/uncategorized/11972489/princes-bond-battle-bosses-hollywood-premiere/
I found this article really interesting. Could this be another "throw it out and see if the bait is taken" article? Similar to the others when HMTQ was supposed to be hosting her a birthday party at Balmoral or Kate was supposed to be hosting her a baby shower? A couple of things pinged on my radar while reading - "a source" could be just about anyone (not necessarily linked to the producers themselves), and the W&K mentions seem a little passive aggressive. This is the part that caused me to raise an eyebrow:
“For the Hollywood premiere they have signalled they want Harry and Meghan as guests of honour.
“It poses an interesting question over whether William and Kate will attend the London premiere.”
It seems a really weird statement for a source from a producer to make, as if they're hinting that W&K are petty enough to refuse to attend on the grounds that H&M would be asked to attend what's basically separate event a week later on the other side of the Atlantic. To me, that sounds more like something one of MM's pet sources would say.
It'll be very interesting to see if they actually make it there as "guests of honour" or not.
Yes very fair.
I do not understand the Zooms, and letters, and subliminal support. It really looks like a cheap Royal operation. Why is the RF not overseeing this? Or are they trying to follow guidelines with the blank walls?
It’s all very very odd.
I meant H&M in that last line. Just hit post and realised it looked like I was wondering about W&K so thought I'd better clarify.
I don’t believe the Bond films want anything to do with Meghan Markle. At All. Just more PR to raise her profile so those people actually notice her. Since they left the RF, in public, why would any film want their support? It’s also a bit of a low thing for a Royal to attend a movie premiere, no?
Meghan being Meghan, hoping someone bites. I think after the desperate ‘hire Meghan plz’ yellow carpet video at Lion King, the entire industry was put off them. I doubt Iger is petty, but after that tarnished his reputation by association, I imagine they blacklisted her and asked other studio heads to put her aside as well. That’s a small world, and that public faux pax was horrendous.
Remember when Bey was trying to associate with Meghan? Put her pic in her music video. She kept a good image by NOT associating with anyone lowly, and look what happened, pure embarrassment at Lion King.
So I really think Iger and Beyoncé have made sure Megs is blacklisted. There are probably others as well.
She won’t ever be ‘Hollywood’.
Also, the speaking thing, obviously that is for Harry. What the hell would Meghan have to talk about? Marrying rich?
I agree M's manner of standing and walking aren't very attractive.
She's either in what I think of as a slutty "cheesecake" pose with one leg bent in front of the other (& if possible with one hand on a hiked up hip) or she's doing the wide-legged drunken sailor stance (which I think is her natural stance.)
She has two different walks too. The slutty hip-swaying garden party exit walk with one foot in front of the other and toes pointing slightly outward or her more natural wide-legged clomping.
I think she's pigeon-toed. Because her feet naturally point slightly inward, that makes her legs and especially her upper thighs spread apart naturally. (Try it-- you can't point your toes inward and keep your legs together.) When she thinks about it, she adopts the slut walk/stance but that's so exaggerated and so different from her natural walk/stance, all that does is draw attention to both walking/standing styles. In other words, she ends up looking unattractive-- at least to me-- because she's too often phony even down to the way she walks.
Give her a break, all that kneeling affects her gait..
Your detailed explanation makes a lot of sense. It’s really the only way to clinically explain a woman walking and standing the way she does. Pigeon toed seems accurate. She has that bony leg structure I’ve seen other pigeon toed people have too.
If I was royal and saw myself walking the way she does, or standing like a sailor/sponegbob in a dress, I would hope I noticed and worked on correcting it or wearing clothing that hid it better. I don’t think it helps that she has really large feet either. It makes the whole wall/stance more, pointed, for lack of better word.
I don’t know about others, but I still find it shocking that Harry said when he met Meghan he had to ‘up his game’. She probably walked towards him like a linebacker on a football field. I guess he’s into that? I really wish I was a fly on a wall to see that interaction go down.
Speaking of, him thinking she was out of his league. I always assumed she presented as if she was loaded and from the upper class and he was ‘barely’ good enough for her (pretending she didn’t know who he or the RF was), and how famous she was in N.America (her words, not the public’s). I think he fell for the ‘idea’ she sold him and never double checked any of it, since they barely saw each other and lived at a massive distance to one another. Nothing else
Makes sense.
Give her a break, all that kneeling affects her gait..
Thank you for injecting a dose humour this morning 😆
I mean it’s funny to think about how bad he got played by her. She didn’t make much in suits, came from a non wealthy family, and was about to be out of work. And here she has him thinking she is only used to the best of the best ‘what Meghan wants Meghan gets.’
It was easy for her to laugh off faux paxs by acting like Americans are diffferent. I don’t know though, there are quite a few wealthy Americans in London that go to all the ‘who’s who’ events.
Maybe that was also part of the problem? That she was odd even in front of wealthy American Expats, meanwhile she was meant to be Royal and refined? I could see her plainly not fitting in, and unable to explain herself. Meanwhile Harry acting a wreck trying to keep her behavior in check and keep her insecurities happy. Such a disaster for a supposedly great time in ones life.
Cheers, she blew it..😘
Oooooh, you are naughty! LOL
The similarity could have caused confusion – and because he applied before the Sussexes, he could have had first call, forcing the couple to rebrand.
But they can breathe a sigh of relief, as Mr Kantro's application is now dead in the water after he failed to respond to a court request for extra information in time
But, mistakenly thought that it was a popularity contest,
it’s not.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's future project revealed - and it involves Wisconsin.
https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2020062892416/meghan-markle-wisconsin-plans-boys-girls-clubs-dane-county/
NAACP represented by none other than .... Sunshine & Co.
She is never going to go away, is She?
ITA- Wills for the win. That could easily have been her end game.
Someone needs to study this behaviour and report back. An FBI profiler or something. She has become the poster girl for our narcisstic, psychopathic times. Zeitgeist personified.
I wondered why Wisconsin then I saw report of bi-racial girl set on fire.
I do, it was a Blind Gossip article. ;o)
I don’t believe a single word the Dubious Duo spin.
Thanks. I've now found the article on the racist attack and it all makes sense.
Sorry to hear some people have been upset by specific comments and commenters.
When I have time, I remove as much of the crazy as I can.
Right now, the sun is shining and the garden is in bloom, so deleting dumb comments has dropped down my list of priorities.
We did have a poll about the blog's future about a month ago, and a majority of people chose the "keep the blog as it is, I'll just scroll past the crazy" option.
It is the same story every time, a promise and a token effort not something of substance. Harry did well with the Invictus Games but it is said that his assistant Mr. Fox was really the person responsible for that effort. Although Harry did bring attention to the issue but now with no photo opportunity even his wounded veterans are disappointed with a lack of action on his part.
I was astounded by the attacks on Nutty, but I should not have been. When the attacks on the regulars weren't panning out (thanks to collapsing the comments), then they moved on to trying to make Nutty close the blog by insulting her. Interesting. Why? We're just talking about the silly PR stylings of a no-account D-list actress and her formerly royal husband and how they plan to make an opulent living by siphoning money from people who actually work for a living. The only ones it could possibly matter to would be D-list and falling actress.
Personally, I think MM should thank whatever her deity of choice is (Cthulhu?) that we are even aware of her existence. Most Americans get a blank look in their eyes and say "WHO?" when the name gets mentioned.
But you were the most prolific contributor on the Virus blog, so why did it go down when there was NO mention whatsoever of Nutty that I could see?
Why wasn't something done to save that blog? Your insight could be useful here.
