Where do you get your information about the Sussexes?

New Idea, an Australian publication, recently reported that Meghan Markle was considering a run for US President in 2024 - a story widely picked up in other media.

Unfortunately, New Idea has a reputation for making up stories out of whole cloth - not a credible source.

Which sources do you consider trustworthy when it comes to information about the Sussexes?

Choose up to three.

Unknown,

Well spotted with Claire Underwood (Played by the very lovely Robin Wright.)

The RF may have been able to make some salacious bits of Meg’s past disappear, But I bet equally skilled forensic cyber cowboys could reconstruct Most of it. Just the stash of compromising photographs on Harry Markle’s blog Are enough to tank a campaign. That burger grilling soft core porn video is still out there, as are the photographs of Meg blazing up a joint on a beach with JM, And passing out bags of weed with Trevor at her first/second wedding. The video of her on camera admitting to committing fraud oh for a fictional SAG card and laughing about it is still out there. We’ve got her on record admitting to A very serious breach of professional ethics. The there are all the financial shenanigans that she’s engaged in even since leaving the royal family. All the lawsuits, the mysteriously disappearing merching income, her previous troubles with the IRS...Not everything has been scrubbed. We are living in a world where prominent celebrities are fired from their influential gigs for using an ill chosen adjective. Plus campaigning is incredibly hard work, exhausting and certainly not glamorous. She wouldn’t get the votes to be student body president, much less anything more important.
adjective. Meg wouldn’t last two weeks.

The character of Claire Underwood is a master study in Interpersonal manipulation. The Underwoods are decidedly and homage to the Clinton marriage and political machinations. Claire is ruthless, no more so than with her own husband, And there are elements of narcissism in her, and a rather cold blooded way to assess the situation dispassionately and act in her best interests. But Claire is also smart, Articulate, effortlessly charming, Always looks like 1 million bucks, Has impeccable southern manners, and the quality that Meg lacks above these: Self restraint.

I haven’t seen past season four yet, but the thing about Claire is that we know she can do the job of the president and do it really well. Meg is just a hot mess on Avocado toast.

Thanks @Crumpet@Unknown@Hikari

I enjoy doing them.
Megs makes it easy,
she lends herself to many terms,
none are complimentary!

Ah Unknown, the Messiah walking on water 😜

Harry started at Eton in September 1998, so a year after Diana's death.

Re MM's past being scrubbed clean, I'm not so sure. It may have been scrubbed clean for now, on the surface anyway, as Hikari says, the 'RF may have been able to make some salacious bits of Meg’s past disappear,' etc. This occured to me too. I think in a way Megsy's character is now worse than before the wedding because the scales have fallen from people's eyes. People have seen for themselves Meg's pernicious and poisonous behaviour. I am not in America so do correct me if I'm wrong but I very often read, here among other places, how unimportant she is. She is not well known (in the US), apparently, and is not liked. So MM might think she reinvented herself by marrying into the BRF but she has only exposed herself.

I'll join you, Magatha! Cheers!🥂

Sorry, me again!

About H&M (well, MM) suing unknown paps: how can you sue unknown paps? And if the photos have not been published, how is Archie's privacy compromised? In that case, they should have sued the German magazine.
Has it occurred to them that they had total privacy at Frogmore?

It would be good to know if any Nutties live in H&M's neck of the wood (!) or in that part of LA and can take a trip to Beverly Ridge to confirm there are drones/helicopters flying over TP's mansion like flies over you know what.

@ Jdubya

Looks like their privacy there works

Ha - Claire Underwood would slaughter Meghan. Good call on the parallel though.

@Enbrethiliel,
Were they then rubbed in the young princes' faces by their respective peers? If so, how much of it would they have internalized? ("Well, everyone thinks I'm a bastard anyway, so I might as well . . .") And if they already felt too stifled in their older brothers' shadows, the "legend" of having a different father anyway may have sparked something in the imagination.

That's a great way to look at it. So many things probably happened to them that we will never be privy to. Now the results are coming to a head with Harry and Andrew. I wish I would be alive in 50 years to read the real tea on the whole enchilada of what happened. But I would be in my early 100s and can barley read now due to aging eyesight! Lol.

@Maneki Neko

Thanks for the validation: agreeing on Phillip thoughts. As a newbie, there is something inside of me that wants to hold back out of respect for the regular posters. So I'm not always sure how my thoughts have gone down unless I get a bit of feedback. :)

@Magatha,

All of your poems are so much fun! but I Love this one the best so far:


Dickens had Meg pegged
A modern day Mrs Jellyby
with her “telescopic philanthropy” :D :D

Welcome Pink Peony!!

Don't worry about how your thoughts will go down here, just share them. Most of us are pretty open minded and are able to respectfully disagree as needed.

Scrutinized? I’d call it rubbernecking—I can’t look away from the train wreck.

Is This the REAL THING THIS TIME? or is this just stringing people along?

Recently there was (yet another) post somewhere out in the world about how they will soon divorce.  And my first thought was: Haven't I heard this before?  which moved quickly to: how many times have I heard this (through the years)? There were a number of questions raised which ... I don't know.  I'm not a lawyer.  One of the points which has been raised is that KC would somehow be shelling out beaucoup money to get her to go "away".  That he has all this money stashed away and can pull it out at a moment's notice.  But does he? He inherited a lot of "stuff" from his mother but ... isn't it a lot of tangible stuff like properties? and with that staff to maintain it and insurance.  Inside said properties is art, antique furniture and other "old stuff" which may be valuable" but ... that kind of thing is subject to the whims and bank accounts of the rarified people who may be interested in it (which is not most of us in terms of bei

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.  

Christmas is Coming

 The recent post which does mention that the information is speculative and the response got me thinking. It was the one about having them be present at Christmas but must produce the kids. Interesting thought, isn't it? Would they show?  What would we see?  Would there now be photos from the rota?   We often hear of just some rando meeting of rando strangers.  It's odd, isn't it that random strangers just happen to recognize her/them and they have a whole conversation.  Most recently it was from some stranger who raved in some video (link not supplied in the article) that they met and talked and listened to HW talk about her daughter.  There was the requisite comment about HW of how she is/was so kind).  If people are kind, does the world need strangers to tell us (are we that kind of stupid?) or can we come to that conclusion by seeing their kindness in action?  Service. They seem to always be talking about their kids, parenthood and yet, they never seem to have the kids
