Hello from vacation, where I've just noticed the Sussexes truly dreadful Christmas card as profiled in the New York Post.
My immediate guess was that Meg used Photoshop's dry brush filter to hide any traces of photo manipulation and, perhaps, the insertion of a substitute Archie.
What a mess. What was she thinking?
And how does it help the Sussexes build their brand?
They're supposed to be multi-million-dollar Netflix producers and Spotify podcasters, yet they're releasing something that looks like the very best product of a night school art class at a provincial community college.
All the bases
"The original photo of the family was taken at their home earlier this month by the Duchess's mother," according to a statement by Archewell.
Not that Doria has ever been known as being a keen photographer before, particularly when it comes to what was clearly a posed shot. (All three family members plus two dogs in the same frame, all smiling? This must of been one out of at least a hundred posed shots.)
The statement continues: "The small Christmas tree, including the homemade ornaments and other decorations, were selected by Archie, and the tree will be replanted after the holidays."
We're covering all the bases here, aren't we?
"Homemade ornaments" for the instagram influencer points, and the replanted tree for environmental street cred. Plus a guest appearance by the mysterious Doria.
Charitable contributions
The card was released through Meghan's dog patronage Mayhew - the one she visited during her pregnancy, a visit best remembered for her ability to squat down in stiletto heels and spring up again lightly despite being quite far along in her pregnancy.

Magatha. Love the talented writing to sing to cats.
This is one of few places to discuss with others re the harkles. Everybody else just goes face blank as in "who & why should I care".
I did catch FF is on sale for the basement bargain price of $00.99 at Amazon. Waiting for it to arrive at local dollar stores.
If Markle was the feminist that she pretends to be, she would be on top of this. But she only gets behind causes that are popular in the USA, so that she can milk the publicity.
If it isn't a cause that she can siphon money from, she isn't going to be interested.
Puds - I agree with all your wrote. I'd just like to say that there is no way, come hell or high-water, that MM will ever bag herself a billionaire. At least not one of those we have come to know, the self made ones. An heir perhaps? But she's too old. Far too old.
I have met many billionaires, due to my job. Their wives can be put neatly into 3 categories:
1. the drop dead gorgeous supermodel-like hooker: MM is neither drop dead gorgeous, nor a super model type, and she's far too old. Besides, she's too arrogant and self important to devote herself to the needs of a man 100% - not going to happen
2. the 'first wife', the one who was at the billionaire's side when he became a billionaire, and who gave him at least 3 children - obviously not going to happen
3. the very wealthy heiress, often a billionairess herself: a woman who is either self made (rare), or inherited a very comparable amount of money to the billionaire; she always had status, she always moved in top circles, she was always connected and she stands on her own: MM is none of those things. MM is a stereotypical trashy LA d-list actress, the deal or no deal suitcase girl no23 from season 18, who wanted to spray Febreeze in a 500 year old church for her royal wedding! She's tacky, vulgar, low rent and the exact opposite of this type of woman. She refused to be groomed into a Royal, refused protocol, refused to learn, preferring to flee back to her LA roots of ordinary trash, because that is where she feels the most comfortable.
This is a woman who looks strange and disjointed in a Dior haute couture gown, but never looked better than in ripped jeans.
Because that's what she is: an ordinary, tacky and common pair of ripped jeans.
Billionaires might want to shag her, for anecdotal purposes, but not one billionaire I have ever met would ever put a ring on that.
I couldn't look at the photos because they weren't up for long, as you explained in your original post. It wasn't that no one was interested. Because of the time difference, it was morning here and several hours after your post at 1.27 am so only someone in your time zone and happening to read the blog around the time you posted would have been able to see the pix. Thanks for trying anyway.

Cucumber = Hilary Baldwin, wife of the actor Alec Baldwin.
https://nypost.com/2020/12/28/its-not-just-her-name-hilaria-baldwins-entire-life-is-a-fake/
Hilary married Alec in 2012. A month later she was an on-camera pundit for the tv Show "Extra".
That NYpost article has a passage that could be applied to Meghan:
Let’s not forget Hilaria’s near-decade-long grift in pretending to be uninterested in fame while leveraging her marriage to a celebrity to get famous herself.
This, despite claiming she had never owned a TV and really had no knowledge of American pop culture. And yet shortly after marrying Alec, she became a correspondent for the tabloid show “Extra!”
In December 2016, Hilaria published a book called, ironically, “The Living Clearly Method.” The chances of a basic, accomplishment-free chick from Massachusetts getting a book deal, let alone attendant publicity in Vanity Fair or on the “Today” show or representation with CAA — where her original online bio stated she was born in Mallorca, Spain — without marriage to a bona fide celebrity is laughable.
As was her alleged other grift, using that great line — one reportedly deployed by Yoko Ono, Heather Mills and Meghan Markle when they each met their world-famous husbands — asking Alec, “So what do you do?”
Yes Sally I apologise I did read your post and saw the true story not Hello PR I ment to add to my copy paste from Hello that the pair were gain caught out in a lie that you had looked at mudslide mansions and saw no play house The Hello article I either intentionally or not Ithink discredits the pair thanks to your reat sleuthing and Nuttys amazing informative posters and posdibly they saw your post !

The more you read about Hilary Baldwin especially when that Blindgossip post lines them up to compare their lives, the more you wonder whether Hilary was the one who gave Meghan the idea of marrying someone famous and use their celebrity to leverage yourself up.
@Acquitaine: Bravo to your entire post!
I always have to chuckle that the world is full of women who consider themselves to be independent, feminists who possess an excellent sense of who they are, but they have always been on the prowl to firmly attach themselves to and marry a successful man.
It happens at all levels of society, depending on the social circles a woman has at hand or is willing to climb up to.
Like sharks slowly moving through the water 24/7, they seek a man to leverage themselves to a status in life they could never achieve on their own as an independent feminist. Hypocrites!
The man can be someone at the level of men such as Alec Baldwin or Harry or a successful physician, lawyer, or businessman. They are always looking for someone to sink their teeth into for life or as long as it takes to get a hefty divorce settlement.
Meghan and Harry release their first podcast after £30m Spotify deal in 'holiday special' featuring Elton John, James Corden and The Duchess and quotes from Martin Luther King
The excitement is killing me!
I couldn't even read past the headline, as for listening...
Thanks for creating your list of the three types of billionaire wives. Perfect. In my work, I’ve met a couple of billionaires (far fewer than you) and also a number of multimillionaires across a range of industries. The wives fit your categories, exactly.
As you say, Megs will never, ever bag one. Certainly not for more than a summer month, as a novelty side piece. Though I swear she probably has a new vision board in a cupboard, featuring Bezos. She will take a swing for that and I am ready for it.
My only thought was she might grab a very old multimillionaire from nowhere-town, the old retired Nebraska guy with a successful company making things like plastic syringe caps or hose nozzles, the sort of crusty oldie who was hated by his employees and late wife for being a complete b*****d. After Harry, when she has been through a toy boy she bought and her earning power is basement level and she is edging up to 50, I think her options will be being an apprentice Madame to some ruthless LA pimpette, or to escape into this sort of crusty marriage.
And now, I have some grout to shine-up.
Great find! Wow.
What a .....unique pie of guests and topics. What do you think of that line-up? Is Corden a big draw?
Unless the act of my listening to that podcast would instantly cure the world of Covid and cancer, I won’t be allowing it through my earbuds.
It sounds like the grout will be more entertaining and rewarding.
Thank you for throwing yourself on the volcano for us, I am not that brave. Sending you a healing hug, filled of course with kindness. May life shine a light on your grout, for easier work.❤️
Meghan/Harry/Obamas/Trumps/Kardashians etc Harkles Bad Taste Awards.
@Maneki - I've always suspected that Elton John is far more involved with the Harkles than many believe, so I'm not at all surprised to hear that he's taking part in their silly podcast.
At the end of the episode, Meghan and Harry allow Archie to take a turn at the microphone.
"You can speak into it," Prince Harry tells Archie.
"Archie, is it fun?" Meghan said, to which Archie responds, "Fun?" Then Meghan repeats, "Fun!Archie even gave a special message to listeners — with help from his parents.
"After me. Ready? Happy..." Harry said, to which Archie repeats, "Happy."
Meghan and Harry then said, "New..."
And Archie completes the message: "New Year" — and his parents cheer.
Harry explained that they asked participants to record audio diaries, avoiding the "awkward dance" of a video chat and giving people the chance to reflect by themselves.
"We wanted to know what they’ll remember about this year, how they’d explain it to future generations, what they learned about themselves and what gives them hope," Meghan said. "Their responses have given us a lot to think about. And it all came back to one thing: to the power of connection."
Harry encouraged listeners to "grab a cozy beverage" while listening to responses.
My thoughts after reading the DM piece:
So Archie is a slapdash cartoon and a disembodied American voice (Per DM recap) in under a week.
Pre-recorded, for total MM content control and no surprises?
Harry is going to get beaten for not saying “oat milk latte”:instead of “cozy beverage”.
I thought this was the big holiday special? Um...Uncle Elton and Corden(fame grubbers, per a friend who just texted me).,.. Tyler?....
WHERE IS OPRAH? WHERE IS SERENA? WHERE IS MICHELLE? WHERE IS GEORGE CLOONEY?
Instead had to stoop to milk the name of Archie and ruin his privacy or hire a baby actor. Lol. Fail.
. turned it off.

A prerecorded, press play to hear this celebrity blither on about 2020 for 5 minutes? Really?! So, Meghan is just owning other peoples thoughts and ideas for clicks now and celebs are stupid enough to participate??? They need the clicks in the DM? The association with M?
My dear god. Prince Harry of the U.K., hosting a podcast of his buddies for a quick buck. How the European aristocrats must be rolling over laughing today.
There’s Meghan and her continual come up via the exploitation of others, which now includes Archie (poor guy, he can’t ever mess up because he IS the brand). And then we have a Prince. Who apparently is still in a cupboard and working for Meghan.
Happy New Year to you all. I love reading the discussions and comments, but I rarely post. Special thanks to Nutty for hosting this blog.
I have no interest in listening to someones podcast, not my cup of tea.
I did have a looksie for the harkles, up to now I haven't found anything.
Could be because we don't get what you do in the States. I will trawl again.
The more you read about Hilary Baldwin especially when that Blindgossip post lines them up to compare their lives, the more you wonder whether Hilary was the one who gave Meghan the idea of marrying someone famous and use their celebrity to leverage yourself up.

But, he allows his 1 year old child to work for a living?
He so far up his own arse, no self respecting Brit would consider listening to him. We were pretty happy when he left for the States.
Still not sure how he managed to get a talk show.
I have never heard a 19 month old elocute so clearly. Ever.
So many great comments here.
The card- I am a believer in the existence of Archie so it was nice to see the child even if Meghan used the same font on her card like my 12 year old niece uses. Regarding Archie, it is so clear to me that she seeks to somewhat disguise him but yet show him, to create fervor and interest in him. As others mentioned, he did weirdly resemble Louis. Also, it's obvious that Harry is probably the main parent to Archie. The way Meghan is touching his hand has a distant tone to it.
Re. Kris Jenner. When I saw Kim advertising the stupid oat milk latte, I imagined how that would go to have Jenner giving Meghan advice. One thing that Jenner definitely knows is the importance of paid-for bots to give positive upvotes and comments. I thought Meghan didn't want to do any of that??? Remember 'zero engagement'? I suppose she decided that she does need some fake support. Kris Jenner is a VERY strong, intelligent alpha female. She would eat Meghan for lunch. Since Jenner manages her 5 mega narcissist daughters, there is likely nothing thrown her way that she hasn't had to deal with.
The 12 month extension. *sigh* I think it will be granted and I hope that I am wrong. The Queen doesn't appear to be willing to step forward against them. I don't know why I feel this way but I do. Even though the Queen and Charles don't seem to have the stomach for the tough moves, I am always hopeful that their courtiers do. Or at the least they can influence them somewhat.
How is not obvious to anyone in the RF that H&M need the shot in the arm of the affiliation with the Royal Family while they promote their horrible podcast and charities. I am hopeful that people just do not listen, even out of curiousity. I won't even click on the DM link. I read the transcript and it seemed super lame so... I saw all I needed to know.
I am sure that I am not alone in not believing that the child is not Archie.
I have never heard a 19 month old elocute so clearly. Ever.
I am tempted to hear this travesty for myself, but I am figuratively sitting on my hands and will not give them a click under any circumstances, even if it's just to get a peek at the train wreck. So my thoughts on your comment are going to be not having heard it, but . .
OK, so I am a children's librarian. Pre-pandemic, part of my job for the last 20 years is doing weekly story times with babies and children birth - 5. At one time, before our demographics and staff levels changed, we were offering 6 classes a week, 2 each dedicated to the infant group; toddlers (13 months - 3) and preschool (3-5). The toddlers got their own class because they are a very busy group, very active and into everything. Sitting and listening to an entire picture book at one go is not a developmental milestone they have reached yet. 'Archie' demonstrated very typical toddler behavior in his first birthday video, albeit, I put that child at 14 - 16 months and probably ambulatory. Certainly he was already using short sentences. Meg is keen to display how 'advanced' he is, which is a for-sure when you are passing off a child at least 4 months older as just one year.
Archie's rocketing rate of growth continues . . . he was the size of a 16-18 month old at 12 months, so now, 6-7 months later, he's virtually doubled his growth and now presents as a child who is the size of a 31/2 year old. Now, a kid who is 3 or 4 could certainly be coached to say a sentence on demand. A child who'd just turned 19 months would barely sit still for such a lovely, posed and curated 'Christmas card' as we've received, but if Grandma Doria had snapped fast, she might have captured it. But . . the prevailing characteristic of toddlers is their stubbornness and their love of the word 'No.' They are testing their independence from Mommy and Daddy and 'No', not to mention, the parental reaction, gives them a feeling of power. One tiny word brings big people to their knees in fits! It's awesome!!
Simply put, a typically developing child of just 19 months would not recite lines on demand at the precise moment Mommy and Daddy want him to for their podcast. Especially not something as esoteric as 'Happy New Year'? Give me a f####king break, Meghan! A child of not yet two might be starting to put together 'Happy birthday' . . but 'Happy New Year' is a concept far beyond this age group. Even if he is ostensibly just aping sounds, the chances he'd do it on demand are about nil.
Unless of course, a preschooler has been hired to portray 'Archie' on this broadcast. Or for that matter, an adult voice actor playing a child. Happens all the time in cartoons, because like I said, if the script calls for a toddler who is just learning to talk to say something precocious for a laugh . . they aren't going to perform on cue. So maybe the Harkles obtained the services of Seth McFarlane or someone to play Archie. Thus, she's taken her con to another level--now it's not enough to show an 'Archie' looking cute and big for his age--now they are going to make 'him' speak too, just like performing monkey he is . .he will sing for his supper and for Mommy's mortagage on the 14 mill Montecito mansion! (Which for the record I believe is 100% theirs in the same way I believe this remarkably advanced, giant baby is theirs as well.)
I haven't listened, and I refuse to, but I fully expect we will be treated to more vocal stylings of Archie very soon. Maybe next time we hear him, he will serenade us with a number from "Hamilton". Can't wait.
Regarding Archie, it is so clear to me that she seeks to somewhat disguise him but yet show him, to create fervor and interest in him. As others mentioned, he did weirdly resemble Louis. Also, it's obvious that Harry is probably the main parent to Archie. The way Meghan is touching his hand has a distant tone to it.
That distance you are feeling is probably down to the fact that Meg is 'not' actually touching Archie at all. Go back and look at the weird configuration of hands. I studied this for a long while to try and determine why it looked so weird. Harry is grasping 'the child' around his waist with both hands. Archie's right hand is not visible; all we see is a blue sleeve, but his hand is presumably resting on Harry's right thigh and our view is blocked by Harry's knee. The child figure's other arm is raised and bent at the elbow. The supposed hand emerging from that blue sleeve looks like the stump of a burn victim, poor thing. No discernible fingers, but let's say for the sake of argument that this is a filter job of a real picture, very low-res coarse filter for maximum obfuscation, and the child was making a fist.
Both of Harry's hands look monstrously disproportionate, as though he were wearing cartoon-figure hands. Harry has quite slender hands and fingers in life; this version's got puffy, distorted digits. If you look closely, you will see that Meg actually has her left hand resting on Harry's right (cartoon rendition of Trev's Cartier bracelet visible--even as a cartoon figure, she's still merching) and her right hand is resting on her own leg. She's not touching 'her child' at all, which I find pretty odd. Extremely odd indeed that Doria would have managed to capture such a fleeting moment like that. Kudos. Maybe she should consider working for National Geographic.
Why in the absolute heck didn't they just use the Christmas photo as is without the jigsaw font? Maybe a nice halo font with sunlight shimmering off Harry and Arch's locks but not that crazy puzzle color thing?! It honestly gave me a headache.
The icing on the Christmas cake was the commentary about Archie choosing the tree and decorations and the reassurance that they tree will be 'replanted in the future'. She's so saintly. ALTHOUGH. I did buy a couple of pretty pines in the pots that I put on my porch and I did think that I could re-plant them later on. See, I'm as good as Meghan.
I have just made a liar out of myself because I broke down and listened to the link you provided of the podcast.
From the perspective of someone who has spent two decades trying to lead kids of Archie's age in story times and observing them, there's no way in bleedin' 'ell that that kid is 19 months. His intonation sounds like a preschooler to me. A precocious 3, perhaps, or twice Archie's current stated age. There is a big language explosion right around the 2nd birthday, but I'd say Archie would be at least one full year away from being able to say 'Happy New Year' the way he does here. Also, in the clip, he says 'year' by himself, without prompting.
A child this age does not deal in abstract concepts like 'a year'. Now, it could be true that he's in a parroting stage. Parroting is how kids learn language. I get a little suspicious when Meg says "Archie's come to the phone" and immediately the child echoes 'Fun??' That makes it seem like there might be some kind of echoing/redub voice filter thing going on, whereby an adult speaks into it and it's rendered as a childlike voice.
I would not put anything past Meg, I swear.
The level of nearly hysterical laughing evidenced by Harry really sounds like some kind of pot high, or else uncontrollable nerves. By the same token, 'Archie's cute little chipmunk laugh could be Hazza's own speeded up and played back on another track. Or else, it could be Harry after he's imbibed some helium. A normal 19 month old kid loves to laugh, of course, but I dispute that he'd find the sight of 'his parents' huddled around a phone intrinsically funny.
I think the hilarity factor has been ramped up through tech means, all to underscore how great, how happy, how wonderful, how bonding, joyful and whatever other adjective comes to mind about the family life in Montecito is. See, meany, racist, cheapskate Royal family in soggy old London--we don't need you! Look how great our lives are here! We laugh all the time!
This is a SHAMS project so let's just say I am profoundly distrustful of it. Meg lives and breathes to distort and manipulate media to burnish her own funhouse image of herself. Golly gee, she's mother of the year, since at 19 months, Arch is a veritable Shirley Temple of precociousness. And such a happy child, despite the fact that he doesn't get to see three of his four grandparents or any of his cousins.
Bleargh.
shows the address in Beverly Hills (might be the reason for the photo taken in Beverly Hills recently) - also a London address for the IP and then a Madrid, Spain "representative" address???
It is trademarked with both a UK and EU# so that may explain the Spain reference.
They are on a roll.
@Hikari - i thought the end of it, the conversation with Archie and the laughter were probably several different recordings cobbled together in to one. Probably really worked with A to get the words out. Vs all at once.
"I have never heard a 19 month old elocute so clearly. Ever."
And we still haven't.
I sometimes wonder if Megs underestimation of our intelligence could sink any lower. We would have to be the hillbilly cast of "Deliverance" to adequately encapsulate her disregard.
I look forward to the day she is proved wrong.
Happy New Year to The Nutties! Thank you all for your eloquence,elegant insights, and general snark. My world is a saner place because of you.
I wonder how the Queen feels about her 1 year old great-grandchild having to sing for his supper.
Apart from the fact that she has been constantly pregnant it seems for the past 8 years since she married Alec Baldwin, and was ostensibly some sort of yoga guru who was fond of flauting herself on Instagram, and who supposedly got her husband off sugar, after which he lost a lot of weight, this is the first I am hearing about this scam of pretending to be Spanish. That's egregious enough, but to this day, the stupid bint doesn't seem to grasp that 'Spain' is not part of Latin America, and is in fact, European. So now she's going around saying, "Yeah, I'm a white girl." But the European Spaniards *are* considered white, for crying out loud.
I don't watch Extra!, but apparently this dumb b#tch never had to interview Antonio Banderas or Javier Bardem? Like, a real Spanish person who would have seen right through her bogus 'accent'? Da f#q. Did she speak Spanglish at home? I feel like Alec Baldwin has a lot to answer for, too. How is it possible that she scammed *him* to this degree for nearly 10 years? Is it just a matter of love being so blind it will not see? Or whatever emotion he feels for her that seemingly makes practicing birth control an impossibility. Because I smell a Narc like Meg based on this behavior, or the frankly dangerous and careless way she holds her babies in her pursuit of getting cute Insta shots of herself looking flat-stomached in her leotards. These babies are merely props, just like Archie.
I have never been married, so I don't know exactly what all is involved in terms of documentation before the ceremony. I thought the prospective bridal couple had to present their birth certificates to obtain a marriage license, no? "Hillary's" passport or driver's license would have been obtained as well off this birth document which would list her place of birth as Connecticut or wherever she was actually born. Did she fake documents to say that she was born in Mallorca? If so, she's guilty of more than just cultural appropriation and social media fraud, but legal fraud as well--the marriage could be invalidated if one of the parties got hitched under the false pretenses of faked documents.
If you are Alec Baldwin . . a mega celebrity who has already been acrimoniously divorced once . . how do you not ascertain the most basic facts about the woman you propose to marry and have 6 or 7 kids with? Do you not find it odd that you've never met her parents? Alec grew up on Long Island, so his personal acquaintanceship with Spanish speakers may be remote, but by all accounts Hillary can't even fake a convincing Spanish accent. Surely she didn't remember to 'sound Spanish' all the time at home? Either Alec is a complete idiot to be that c#ntstruck that he asked no such basic questions . . or else he's been in on her con since the beginning. I don't like his politics, but I don't think he's stupid, like, Harry-level stupid. Did he indulge this little cosplay fantasy of hers as essentially harmless and he didn't think it was hurting anything? Maybe he enjoyed the idea of having a caliente mami at home. Private fantasies are one thing, but when she's marketing herself worldwide as Spanish, with a made-up name and lying about where her parents are from . . it does not sound like she's playing with a full deck. Surely she could have nabbed Alec Baldwin with her other skills at contortionism and didn't have to pretend to be 'ethnic'?
It's weird, and just another example of the rampant narcissism and moral relativism that has seized our age.
Oh you gave me a much-needed laugh on a long tiring day, Hikari — thank you. So true.
I am convinced the Harkles fled to America to avoid questions about and ultimate exposure of the fake Archie. But with Megs’ love of being contrary and insulting playing with fire, she keeps dragging the Archie fraud forth to monetize. It thrills her, I think, the danger of potentially being csught. They know some will call them out on the silliness of their fraud (giant baby with fluid advanced speech) as you have done beautifully here today. But they also know they will get away with it a little longer. All they care about it attention and money, they have found ways to keep renting children while whining tearfully about privacy.
I don’t think for a minute that Meghan cares that many of us see the scam. She is just whirling as fast as she can to build fraud cash before this house of cards collapses. Her jobs have all been loose short-term, part-time games, nothing 9 to 5 with real accountability. She quits, she reshoots, she is let go from the contract, she tries one yacht then another, one man than the next, she throws a teapot.. As she seems somehow mentally stunted, not just ill, she may still be in unemployed actress mode, still gathering free drinks, gift bags, and cash on the dresser like a wannabe instead of a serious adult producer, until this contract ends.
She can employ PR and tears and lies to get away with this until they age out of the limelight (which is minutes away, in Hollywood terms as hey have no talent and are quite boring) and their inability to be viable content producers or show star quality is fully exposed. They can rant and whine and copy and cry — but they still can’t amuse us. That is deadly in the profession they chose. But they have nothing else.
For these reasons, I think we will see more appalling gritting and use of the Archie actors until.....until Charles stops paying, Harry is fully devalued, Hollywood says bye bae, and someone finally steps up to do the Hilary Baldwin reveal of Markle. (Maybe that will be Samantha with her purported book, or maybe there is a quiet, waiting high school or sorority or Suits person out there.) I think there is a lot more mess to come.

@Hikari, I have to go totally off topic for a second in praise of children's librarian.The programmes my kids participated in helped them so much with their social development. You do such a valuable job.
Thank you. Since last March, we have not been able to do any regular programming at all and everything is in the virtual platform. We are open and people can come get books for a limited visit, and we are doing crafts-to-go as well as Facebook Live story times, but it is certainly not the same. The human element of interacting with our families one-on-one is lost. The services we have been able to offer have been well-received, but Lord only knows how long it will be before we can get 'back to normal'? Six months, maybe. It's hard to keep up steam and feel valuable with no in-person feedback, but we are trying. I appreciate your kind words.
I feel pretty confident that my job of many years has given me a good grounding in basic child development, and based on all the milestones I have observed among 'real' children, Archie is either some sort of fantastic savantic being, like Mozart, far beyond his years in every way . . .or, bluntly put, he's a fantasy construct of Meghan's. Given the quality we *know* of the paternal contribution, and Meg's own singular lack of giftedness or even verifiable academic achievement . . what are the chances that their kid would be a frikkin' genius?
Far more likely to say that Meg just has no clue about kids whatsoever. Her fantasy child has a tenuous connection to reality because that's how Meg rolls herself--attributing superwoman powers to herself when in actuality she is a big nothing. Her baby is even more of a big nothing, that's what my gut tells me.
.
Spot on with your posts. I think they had to escape from the UK because of the ' Archie ' nonsense. I truly hope this 12 month extension is just rubbish, something The Odious pair put out there. If The Queen caves and agrees to an extension, allows both Grip and Drip to retain their patronages, and just buries her head in the sand then I really think there will be an absolute outcry. People will be very angry.
I agree with Archie being a big nothing because he doesn't exist.
If he does, then I apologize to the little guy for saying that.
I predict we will be hearing more Archie in their podcasts. All part of her game to tease and monetize him. Yes, Megs still thinks Arch can be an earner. Sing for his supper, as someone said above.
I checked out the DM's Spotify article and saw that their lefty guest list included Jose Andres. He is woke but actually exerts himself in charitable works in the material world. He knows that talk is cheap. When Puerto Rico had its hurricane two years ago he went there to organize/raise funds for public kitchens to keep people fed. Andreas has had to shutter his restaurants here since May but has kept busy with charitable feeding efforts and charities here.
______________
Andrés, who has served millions of meals to those in dire situations through his nonprofit World Central Kitchen, is transforming several of his restaurants into locations that will offer to-go meals. The dishes will range in price, but each eatery will also allow people to pay what they can afford. Those who are able may also pay it forward by donating a meal to future patrons.
“Those who cannot afford to pay, we will welcome as well,” Andrés said in a statement.,
I agree with Archie being a big nothing because he doesn't exist.
If he does, then I apologize to the little guy for saying that.
Meg is making it increasingly hard for those who believe that she is a natural mother who gave birth to Archie 19 months ago to stay the course as each succeeding stunt she pulls with 'him' gets more and more egregious. She's got absolutely zero experience with living children, based on what she thinks they are capable of doing at various stages. We have video evidence of children, on multiple occasions being repelled by Meg. Her own posed shots with the ostensible child of her own body (koff) are equally awkward. I have noticed, going back through all the (scant) pictures and footage we've got how very little Meg interacts with or touches this baby. In South Africa, she handled him like he was a bag of radioactive waste. In the black and white 'christening photo', she and Harry both pointedly ignore the baby and stare at each other. Contrast this with how Catherine cuddled and engages with her babies. This kid is no more than a prop. I pray for his sake that he's just a rental, like Chateau Mudslide. Meg's acting skills are practically non-existent; they certainly do not stretch to projecting a warm maternal relationship to a kid she's hired for a photo op. In Meg's mind, nobody's really looking at the baby anyway--they are to be looking at how fabulous and 'natural' she is as a glowing, 'young' and perfect mother of the year!!!! Except that the reality couldn't be further from the truth.
In this current pictorial representation of Archie, who/whatever he is, the theme continues . . Harry is ostensibly looking at the kid, but he's the only one touching him. Meghan Madonna sits off to the side, teasing another pregnancy from behind a baggy white shirt and a beagle's butt. She is touching (controlling) Harry in the picture, her hand resting on his hand . .but she doesn't touch the child. This is so telling to me . . .even in this Norman Rockwelllian painted fantasia she's presented us with, she's *still* not interacting with the child known as Archie.

So different from being preached at by 2 hypocritical, pontificating, know-all-nothings.
Such a pity they can't direct their `philanthropy' to supporting an equivalent venture in the US, involving people who are real experts in their field instead of self-regarding pop-stars and luvvies.

Heh. Well, I'm glad that you bit the bullet and listened. (I couldn't do it myself because hearing her voice is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. I just won't subject myself to that.) As a caveat, I suppose that I should add that I'm completely disinterested in anything that she/he has to say.
I *did* listen to what was being passed off as "Archie's" voice on one of the links above. *sigh* What I found surprising is that, when a small grandchild of that age enters the room and spots me, there is immediately a shout of "Grammaw!" or "MiMi!" even if I had been in another room for five minutes. I might get "Peek-a-boo!" or "You hide?" or, if I'm picking up things, a shout of "NO! MINE!" Did anybody hear delighted shouts of "Mommy!" or "Daddy!" or both? As Hikari said, when you try to elicit sounds/behavior from a child in that near 2-year-old range, you are most likely to get "NO!" as a response, followed by throwing him/herself down on the ground in a screaming fit.
Now, about that Nanny. Do the Harkles lock themselves up with their recording equipment for an hour or so at a time and let the little 8th in line to the throne of England wander about the house, up and down staircases, eating from the dog bowls, etc. with no supervision? That is certainly the impression I'm getting if that *was* a child spontaneously interrupting them.
The voice sounded about 3 to me, too.
I am convinced the Harkles fled to America to avoid questions about and ultimate exposure of the fake Archie . . . It thrills her, I think, the danger of potentially being caught. . . don’t think for a minute that Meghan cares that many of us see the scam. She is just whirling as fast as she can to build fraud cash before this house of cards collapses. . . I think we will see more appalling gritting and use of the Archie actors until.....until Charles stops paying, Harry is fully devalued, Hollywood says bye bae, and someone finally steps up to do the Hilary Baldwin reveal of Markle. (Maybe that will be Samantha with her purported book, or maybe there is a quiet, waiting high school or sorority or Suits person out there.) I think there is a lot more mess to come. But their decline isn’t far off and her court case is still the iceberg dead ahead.
All the senior members of the Royal family have congratulated Meg and Harry on the birth of their 'son', and the Queen has given legitimacy to the one (1) image featuring herself and a baby Meghan claims as hers. HM has gone a step further and included 'Archie' in her Christmas message of 2019 and as officially occupying a place in the succession to the throne of Great Britain.
And yet, there does not appear, by the standards of what is sane, normal or humanly possible that there is, in fact, an Archie. If Meg contracted a surrogacy adoption and everything went smoothly there, there would at least be a baby with Harry's DNA in her custody. All these excessive, evasive lengths she goes to, though . . the fact that the 'baby' looks different every single time he is seen . . .the very disturbing papp walking with dolls on two occasions that we know of . . all point to things not being even a normal surrogacy/adoption in this little family.
The Royal family historically is not good at dealing with mental/emotional fragility in its ranks. They covered up Diana's mental problems; likewise the same for Harry. Would they go so far as to have the Queen acknowledge a fraudulent child and keep silent about these disturbing antics from North America because the alternative is admitting that two of their members, one a blood royal, are certifiably insane?
If/when the coverup and collusion about a fake baby in the succession to GB comes out, it's not going to be just Meg in the hot seat. How is the Royal family, and principally, the monarch and the monarch-in-waiting, 'Archie's grandfather, the one funding this charade . . how are they going to escape really hard questions? This level of deception and institutional fraud, all to protect a soft-headed halfwit and his racial bomb of a grifting wife . .coupled with Andrew's shenanigans . .it just really makes me wonder if William will have anything to ascend to.
How does the family explain, not only a failure to act, but an active cover-up of Markle's huge fraud upon the British people and the world if that ever comes out? Markle will go on some interview show with Oprah and weep about how fragile she was, how she wasn't coping and having a breakdown where the pressure forced her into lying about her pregnancy and subsequent childbirth and baby . . but the family knew the entire time and they did nothing to reach out and help her, ask if she was OK . . stop her?
It's going to be worse for them if that happens--they will be the ultimate racist bullies then. It could get very bad. But seriously, this cannot be allowed to continue.
Here's tin hat: The latest two babies seem to be older than 18-19 months. What if mm had Archie before the wedding? Or even before the engagement? Would that explain lack of title?
I wasn't aware of mm much before the wedding; was there much for pics of her before the wedding? Or before the engagement?
Or, what if the surrogate was contracted before the wedding? Baby being born 2-3 months after wedding, triggering mm to fake a pregnancy, and have to cover up actUal birth date?
There's something fishy about the baby and/or pregnancy thing based in the look the due exchanged during the wedding when children were brought up. That look to me said a baby was already in progress, one way or another.
(1) now, Hilaria.
A few years ago I first began to read little online comments here and there that she was Massachusetts born and raised and a fraud and opportunist. Comments seemed to come from people who knew her at school and those who took yoga with her. The basic theme is that she was American, no accent, and wasn’t it funny that Alec was oblivious to that and her claim that she didn’t know who he was. (Definitely like our wigged one.) I wasn’t that interested, and just noted now and then the DM’s stream of her weird underwear + new baby photos. An old Boston friend now tells me Hilaria as been a running joke around Boston, and her act wasn’t a huge secret. Her parents are all Americans, so how was Alec fooled, or, was he? Her slippery use of the accent when speaking English, that video when she is trying to teach her daughter something on Martin Luther King Day by comparing the color of her spray tanned arm skin with her daughter’s paler skin....seems like a head case, and rather dumb about true Spaniards, in addition to being offensive to so many. Definitely a Megs role model, I think.
(2) And, how can the RF reveal there’s no Archie?
Maybe MM is prepped to go sob on television that she, a self-proclaimed strong feminist who grinned her way through a costly NYC baby shower, and private jet trip to show the doll to Elton, and giggled with Gloria Steinem, and focuses on selling oat drinks, was frightened, weak and done hard by. I think much of the world would roll its eyes. Even if it doesn’t, all the BRF has to do is say they knew shortly after the wedding when Megs attacked young George, then slapped Camilla around, then stole foundation funds, (whatever they grey men wish to say at this point) then threw teapots in Australia. When they realized the baby was fake, they were told to be careful of M’s very precarious mentL health. They didn’t want to upset the elderly Queen, who is already so worried about Philip. So they covered up while Kate worked and worked, trying to get M and H into mental health treatment without causing poor M to have a full-blown psychotic episode and without embarrassing her publicly until she as ready to cope and reveal her lies. Unfortunately the duo fled treatment to the Canada and America. The family hope M and H are in treatment and ready to explain their upsetting actions, and Kate and William are ready to offer them safe space to do so, an offer on the table the past two years, ever since Eugenie found a bump and two strands of wig hair left behind in a room after her wedding. There. Solved! The BRF simply needs to be ready and throw down, for once, to best her at her own games.
This whole thing makes HIM look incredibly stupid and HER as a crazy manhunter.
Megs claims to speak Spanish.
Her and Hilaria could do a
podcast together, Dospods,
“Dos Delirious”
Rebecca, Constant Gardener, hahaha
great minds!!
Alec Baldwin has a huuuuuge alcohol and drug dependency issue.
He goes to Alcoholics Anonymous and other meetings every day. He has for years.
He hasn't solved his underlying issues yet so he's what people refer to as a "dry drunk" where he lashes out in anger for no reason. Living with him must be a real challenge.
I suppose we should all congratulate him on his sobriety, while urging him to work on himself.
I just feel sorry for the many children, including his grown daughter Ireland who had to suffer the brunt of his problems. Her mother also has issues.
You say avocado, I say avocadah
I say what is this, you say cucumbah
Give Catherine a huge tiara, for example, and a very expensive gown from a designer that used to pander to Meghan, another Vogue cover, a speaking part in a movie or television episode, and Meghan will blow a gasket. Throw in little George somewhere and she'll be running in the streets of Montecito or wherever else they are hiding out, screaming and ranting and pulling her hair out.
By the way, her sister's book Princess Pushy will be out in a few days. I can't wait!
The only reason I would shy away from plausible deniability is because I would assume the palace has eyes and ears everywhere, for a variety of security reasons. I think this would be brought up.
I will now sound like quite a harsh agent. But I think with the Archie issue, the BRF response really has to be smooth, swift, and extreme. Assuming there is no child, or that there is one born in Canada to a surrogate and Markus, or otherwise raised by a surrogate or as a rental actor by its mother, I would make the response a trap out of which she cannot crawl. One almost as diabolical as she is, commensurate with what she has put the RF through, what she has accused them of, and all the aspersions she cast upon the British people and culture. She is a grifter has shown her very ruthless hand. Opening up a look at the finances might be too tricky. Talking staff abuse would be finite. So, it must be the situation with Archie for her downfall.
The royals have this one opportunity to finish this grifter and halt the danger she poses to the Cambridges, their children, and the monarchy, and those who would fall for her scam. That opportunity is a deep, equally ruthless denouncement of the lies around Archie.
This is just my view. All the Nutties will have other views, and I would love to read them.
@AnT, very good points, thank you. I hope the RF moves soon. I'd like to see her exposed like Hilary is. If it is left much longer, they'll miss their chance and the damage will not be fixable.
Tyler Perry is Megalo's next victim...he needs a beard, and she needs a billionaire. VOILA! Husband #4 more Me-Again!
Elton, Stacy Abrams, Cordon, et. al, have merely appeared in the podcast to provide politically correct "woke" distractions. Famous "friends". All of these so-called celebs will be called upon to explain the insanity of fake baby.
Megs is going to leave Harry and fake baby in the dust. And marry Mr. Perry, and his billions. She believes no one will be able to touch her then, with any sort of bad PR.
Look on the bright side. Once this happens, we never have to hear her name again!
isn’t Harry being ‘inauthentic’ by purposefully changing his accent and delivery? he can’t claim he was born in the USA like Hilaria claimed she was born in SPain, but he is faking a new accent just like she did .... hahaha
I think the palace you can say it had plausible deniability while the “pregnancy” was in progress, Particularly as Markle was on record as adamantly refusing the services of any of the male, pale and stale royal obstetricians. She could hide her lies behind medical privacy laws. Technically, no one else by law can interfere in her medical decisions, and it was also convenient that no one would be allowed to confirm or deny that they were treating her as a patient. The fact that she was allowed to continue with this attitude just underscores the very real fact that in the scheme of things, Harry’s kids were not important to the Crown. A child of Harry’s was of sentimental import to royal watchers, but personal relationships aside, Harry’s kids really have no official capacity. We can be assured that Catherine and William were obliged to notify the Queen of their doctors and how the pregnancy was progressing, Down to the minute that labor started, because Williams children are the future of the Crown. Even so, considering that hairy is a prince and A son of Diana, not to mention that the fruit of their union was going to be a great grand child of the monarch, and Charles' grandchild, And Williams nephew, that there wasn’t more family interest shown in Meg's Impending motherhood by the palace. Ostensibly Harry’s wedding was rushed through in the spring so that Meg could accompany him on the fall tour of Oceania. In the case of a real pregnancy occurring in a medically geriatric mother of 37 years of age, Was it medically sound to have her board a 24 hour flight to a known ZIka region? People Were keen To see the new Duchess, But surely health and safety would have been Paramount?
I think the palace would have had eyes and ears on Meg since the engagement, with probably several staff members responsible for monitoring Internet chatter and articles devoted completely to her antics. So the endless Bizarre display of ever-changing bumps Would have been scrutinized closely and discussed within the offices. I doubt the queen was privy to these conversations, but among the staff There had to have been awareness of the pregnancy cosplay going on. Still, even if she had accessorized her self with crazy moon bumps, that was not proof in itself that she wasn’t actually pregnant too. But as the alleged due date got closer and closer and then passed, and still there was no birth plan or recognized doctors involved...Then the subterfuge and snafu of the labor/birth announcement...Harry skulking around the back stables like a criminal to announce to the world the birth of his firstborn born...This is when BP needed to be straight with the people. But they said nothing, two days later, we saw something transpire in the Windsor great Hall in front of one reporter and photographer, followed shortly buy a picture that was ostensibly HM & PP Smiling benevolently upon their eighth great grand. replay the footage of William and Catherine ambushed on an engagement and forced to give a statement of congratulations to the happy new parents, and ask yourself what the hell was going on there?

Jive Talking
Harry’s speech, it ain’t so fine
Speaking purely, Est-urine
In his quest to be so woke
It’s caused his words to stop, and choke
Streaming live, in full throttle
It’s clear to us, he’s lost his Glottal.
It’s a feeding frenzy on the Baldwins and their scam life now. Seems that very few people are buying that Alec Baldwin really believed that his wife was born in Mallorca and didn’t learn English until she was 19.
I never had any use for Amy Schumer before...But I guess we have her to thank for getting this Narc fraud to unmask herself. Amy poked la loca in her greatest area of vanity—her body—and stung, the Narc outed herself. Discovering a single area of vanity on Sméagol is tough, but I think the BRF should continue the Gray Rock treatment and refuse them another penny. Also revoke Markle’s status to enter the country so she does not attend the Diana statue unveiling. If H does come over for that Perhaps the US state department can quietly find some issue with his reentry visa while he’s in London. If H refuses to attend without his ball and chain, that can only be good news for William.
I think the Harkles were removed from Kensington Palace and marginalized from Palace business because Meg represented a real threat to Kate and the children. Not just by being annoying, or having a personality conflict, but fatal attraction type spooky stalker s###. I think it began with the wedding dress fitting, and escalated. Markle was a security risk and had to be removed far away. She will eventually out herself over this Archie business. She’s taken one step closer.
Any thoughts on this

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'set for Archewell live shows', documents reveal
Documents filed by the royal couple to the US Patent and Trademark Office, mentions live stage performances as part of Archewell Audio's content to be protected against copyright.
@Sylvia: Maybe they will perform a reenactment of that first glamping trip to Africa where Meghan banged Harry’s brains out as they listened to the roars of a lioness that they thought was an approval by Diana.
But probably not. They are going to copy Oprah’s stage events in some form or another. I hope they flop the way Bill and Hillary’s shows flopped. Audiences were sparse and they were practically giving away tickets.
Those former aides - according to the DM, are to work on charity projects in the UK on a free-lance basis.
In FF, page 345 to 346, picks up they are in LA and now have freedom from all they left behind and they can now fully join up their strengths, fix the world and "... America would be at the center of it. It was an even bigger charitable landscape and also meant they wouldn't be accused of competing with members of the royal family ..."
It then goes on about going from SRF to Archewell.
But, why would they need to do any new UK charity ventures if they don't want to compete with his family and that they were designing the new non-profit to be American?
The picture imbroglio took place a year before the engagement, When the couple had been clandestinely dating For six months or less. So, it’s true that Markle branded herself as untrustworthy from the moment they met her. It must’ve been an incredibly nasty shock For the Cambridges to realize that H actually Intended to marry this woman. That put them on their guard, but there must have been instances of more Overtly aggressive and manipulative behavior From Madam that led to their banishment. I’m puzzled over why William would have ever let her anywhere near his Foundation. They must have started off by giving her the benefit of the doubt to some degree, hoping that with instruction In protocol, She could change. But any kind of working relationship was immediately impossible, and that must’ve gone double for a personal relationship between the couples. William will never Accept Harry back. He can’t even sit down to lunch with him, never mind resume Brotherly relations. I don’t know if it has penetrated into H's thick skull Just how completely he has destroyed his relationship with his family.
"Thanks AnT, I was expanding on a point you made about Optics earlier.... that Charles has 'looked' like supporting the unloyal feckless son and high spending half a million maternity wardrobe daughter in law than supporting his loyal workforce, whatever funds were or were not used it looks bad."
The furloughing the workforce and raising rents--yes, poor optics for this year...-Charles prob'ly expected some return on the wardrobe money (happy son, obedient daughter-in-law, he's always wanted a daughter) and he certainly did not in 2018 foresee a pandemic. He also lost a lot of money in the 2008 recession--he was getting set to replicate that village he got built in Gloucestershire, I forgot its name. He was in it with other investors and they lost millions. That is from either Peggy Junor or Sarah Bradford--they write books on the RF and each has published a bio of PC. So, not seated on a big financial cushion. No one in Charles' generation or his parents' generation married an heir or heiress either, another way to bring in some wealth. Kate has some money but not a lot relative to the RF and the costs of royalty.
People are very conscious of what the RF costs now. More so every year i think. I hope they quit paying people who left to be independent. NO one in the RF should be subsidizing MM and H's PR, for heaven's sake.
"I’m puzzled over why William would have ever let her anywhere near his Foundation."
Well, to begin with it wasn't really his foundation. It was formed in 2009 by Will and Harry. Kate was added after their 2011 marriage and I'm sure that was with Harry's ok. If M hadn't been added in 2018, the foundation would have needed to be split, assets and all, back then (as ended up being the case anyway in 2019.) A lot of the assets were from that closed Diana memorial fund so Harry had as much right to oversee those funds as Will.
It would have made the most logical sense to me to not add Kate. To take their marriage as a sign of change and split the foundation back then rather than stick Kate in & continue to operate a "brotherly" concern. But given that the foundation was only begun in 2009, reordering, reorganizing, splitting up, etc a mere 2 years later would have looked bad and would have suggested instability and lack of foresight.... characteristics one doesn't want to see in those heading up foundations!
It will be available for pre-order then and is coming out January 8th, I believe.
The title is Princess Pushy or something similar.
Samantha is a friendly person on Twitter. She responds to almost all the responses to her tweets. She is unusual though, and I don't mean that in a bad way. She just doesn't say what I expect her to say, which I find refreshing.
not it's RealMarkleSammy
It is for followers only.
I joined Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram to read up on all the gossip about Markle but I only use Twitter. I find Tumblr too difficult and I'm not 2 years old, so I don't just need to see pretty pictures like on Instagram.

Conny and Harie - Paper Poses
In a house on the hillside, built on a slope
Lives the Witch of the Mount,
and her bloke, knowns as Dope
Who else lives there? Impossible to tell
Supposedly Archie, and his Archewell Cartel
But it’s only, Imitation
Like their Imitation Family
We had it inflicted upon us by the BBC TV 10pm news yesterday, presented in a dead-pan tone, but it was one of those `And finally...' items, normally a spot reserved for less-than-heavyweight stuff.
It sounded completely contrived to me, about as convincing as some of the `children' who are inserted into the Archers, often voiced by the person who plays Shula.
(I used to be a big fan but gave up after Nigel fell off the roof and screamed for so long it sounded as if he gone over Beachy Head. I'd hoped it would be Helen who'd be written out - crazy woman hoping to solve her mental problems by having a baby by an AI donor. Anyone who suggested this wasn't perhaps a good idea was dismissed as a `swivel-eyed loon'. The Archers went woke long ago - was it prescient?)
It is devoutly to be hoped that there are acoustic experts analysing Archie's utterances, to ascertain whether they could be sounds produced by the vocal cords of a 19-month old.
Do any Brits here recall the BBC Children's Hour series `Norman and Henry Bones, the Boy Detectives'? They were voiced by Charles Hawtrey (of `Carry On' film fame) and Patricia Hayes (`Edna the Inebriate Woman' of 1971, several videos on YT). Even they seemed more convincing.
------
Apologies, I can't now find the post in which somebody suggested the babe was already born before the wedding so can't give due credit to the poster. It seems entirely possible to me.
It could explain the duper's-delight-procreation-smirk at the wedding; had a baby been born but not necessarily to Meghan? The baby-bump fiasco suggests to me that she hasn't a clue about the most basic facts of pregnancy, such as babies not being compressible.
That would make him at least a year older than his stated age ie 2-&-a-half now... Would that work? Could their claims about his development (including the rugger!) fit this hypothesis? The size of the child on the card would seem more appropriate now...
Was HM informed that MM was in `an interesting condition' but H didn't want to be seen having a bastard?
------
Husband has just informed me that HM will be addressing the nation tonight re our change in status. The time hasn't been given yet - it may be late...
There may also be further lockdown tightening.
It shows just how pathetic the H$Ms really are.
F’lying Faeces
Harry and Megs, and their desire to return

“Now Alec knows why Hilaria’s paella always tasted like clam chowder."
ROFL!!!
Alec is doubling down on his wife’s fraud, claiming that her Spanish accent is the result of have vacationing in Spain as a child, Making her legitimately a child of both cultures. That does not explain why a girl who grew up in Boston for the other 11 months out of the year still doesn’t know basic English vocabulary at the age of 36. IIRC, Hillary‘s parents did not move to Majorca until she was an adult. Nice try. By the same token, a child whose parents took them to Disneyland in the summers ought to be fluent in Mouse.
Saw pictures of the blow out Spanish themed wedding in 2012; Apparently both families had to sign Andy is that they would not speak to one another. And no one found this strange? Of course Alec's family could not be from the red to find out that Hillary’s family was not Spanish. But I wonder what she told him as the reason to get him to go along with it?
Alec’s daughter Ireland Initially posted in support of H Before taking it down. Quizzical that she would have anything good to say about her father’s second wife. Ireland uses her mother’s name, Basinger, on her Instagram account.
And, I suspect there is this subtle parallel message in the DM where a royal biographer is talking about how they are doing a great job in the USA, yada, and it would have been nice if they had also done some things like Prince William supporting the NHS. Hugo Vicars is the guy. Not one of the usual suspects we read of although he does have 2 books out about series The Crown.
Hikari - removed from KP. They were.
And, in FF, there is this point about how they were moved 22 miles away but that they would still need a place closer (which never got) just like Prince Charles and Prince William who also had away places and in the city (page 275). Nott Cott was left empty after they moved out. They had been looking for places in the Oxfordshire area (time of her baptism, page 187) because "... Nott Cott was becoming too cramped for the couple." But later (page 245), when it is announced they will move out of NC, "Frogmore was perfect for Harry and Meghan, given its connection to Windsor-except it wasn't next door to William and Kate and their children.".
Also, any way to see how the podcast did on the Spotify ranking? Are they buying listeners?
There is an old Lipstick Alley thread from April 2020 that a friend mentioned this morning. I checked it briefly. The posters were listing her lies and videos of her fake accent, and the fact she was born and raised in Massachusetts etc, One added a photo of her resting upside down in a yoga pose, I suppose we can call it Skyward Ass, in public pedicure chair while the spa worker was trying to do the work on her upside-down hooves. In the same topic thread, another poster mentions she works near their apartment home, and Alec looks much older in person, fragile, wrinkled, stooped over in person, and the kids come through with a platoon of nannies and guards.
I looked it up; Alec Baldwin’s net worth is listed as $60 million. She is very spendy, he is not starring in much lately, is he? Her net worth was listed as $10 million. A lot to all of us, but maybe not so hefty in their world. She will need to earn more to maintain her lifestyle and raise thise children, especially if he is heading downward health wise after years of alcohol over-use and stress and rage. They have two homes, and five kids for whom private school fees loom ahead. But her position is possibly precarious now, so they probably need to try to gaslight and blame the world world for this scandal, to retrieve earning power. They have a lot of costs ahead. Will people still follow her podcasts and buy her books enough to cover their ongoing costs? So Alec will be screeching for days, and try to claw back his SNL work or a tv show perhaps.
Best nugget about their Spanish themed wedding — DM — was not the theme, but the point she made in an old interview about how hard it was to teach her Mayflower DAR White professional Massachusetts how to say “Baldwin” — it was so hard for an American attorney and an American doctor and Harvard professor to learn to say that unusual name! What a pair.
I wish there was a button we could push to throw roses at your feet for all these magnificently clever, funny verses! 🌹🌹🌹
Because if she did it to him at home for years, she has a severe case of antisocial personality disorder.
I’ve also read that Tyler Perry prefers to run a tight ship in terms of fully owning creative control over all his work. I think he is said to write everything himself, for example. That is his professional comfort zone and it works for him, obviously. So, I can’t see him wanting to bring an angry control freak into his worlld who would want to take over and boss him around. (Weak, deboned, and neutered Prince Harry is the worst ad she could have put out into the world if she is looking for a mega rich fourth husband, in my opinion.)
I think Tyler Perry merely tossing a few quick minutes of time their way for Oprah’s sake, just as he let them squat in his unused mansion. Why Oprah is still clinging to this duo is a mystery for another day.
A few comments in articles about the duo were from people who took her classes. They say she had no accent for the first couple of years they took classes. And then, beginning one day in her classes, she had an accent and said she would now be called Hilaria. A couple of students said that it was probably for marketing because as a basic New England yoga teacher she was a dime a dozen, even if skilled. But as a European yoga teacher, she would be more unique in the NYC market, more desirable, cooler. I suppose it worked, hmm?
In my mind, I equate it to the way parents at my niece’s ice rink fought like wolves for slots with the one Russian skating coach, And paid her extra —- even though the non-Russian coaches were extremely good, and two of them even had Olympic credentials,
Thank you.
'Meghan Markle's sister DROPS 'Princess pushy' title for book after it 'BACKFIRED' on her
'MEGHAN Markle’s sister, Samantha Markle has changed the title of her upcoming book about the future princess saying it was too “confusing” and had “backfired” on her as she hopes to be invited to the Royal Wedding, it has been reported.'
https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/939588/royal-wedding-invite-meghan-markle-samantha-markle-book-may-19-princess-pushy
During my search, I found an article in the DM, 8 Feb 2019, saying that MM 'burst into tears when she learned half-sister Samantha was writing 'The Diary of Princess Pushy's Sister' - and is now claiming to friends she doesn't 'read about herself''.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6680413/Meghan-Markle-burst-tears-learning-sister-writing-book-her.html
Always interesting to go back in time to read about MM.
Has anyone got any update on the book?
She said that she did the design for the cover herself, although I have to say that she spelled "Memoire" wrong. It should, of course, be written "Memoir".
I saw that the title if the title of Sams book was changed to "A Tale of Two Sisters" and then to "In the Shadow of a Duchess", Maneki.
No mention other than that.
I will read that one. If I can find it.
Tomorrow, New Year's Eve, would seem more appropriate anyway.
I have not followed the Hilaria saga before all this but ... I was thinking strategy and how like this could be used. It took years for this bounce out on her. And then, it unraveled at atom bomb blast level.
The same could be for MM. If I were her, I would afraid. Very afraid.
Just a little dime drop on her from the past. And then another. You don't release the Kraken all at once. You drop it piecemeal to ratchet up the tension of when will this or that become public. Once the avalanche starts, others who have held back, will feel free to join in.
Thank you. Couldn't be bothered about FF but that book I'll read :)
@KCM1212
Thanks. I saw the title had been changed to "A Tale of Two Sisters" and when I googled it, I saw it was the title of a horror film 🤣. Thanks for the update.
It is a horror film.
Can you imagine having that level of narcissist in your family? My younger sister is also a narcissist like Meghan and I have suffered through many a tantrum because things weren't as she expected them to be. Although I love my sister, I don't like her at all.
l dont often post, but memoire is French word. now maybe Samantha deliberately chose it as Princess Pushy11 is a fluent French speaker, non?!!!
I totally agree with you- they need to be swift and they need to be honest. That they were scammed and there is no Archie, or Archie is with the surrogate, or whatever is actually going on.
Remember when George Michael got caught in the public bathroom and it was so scandalous (especially as being gay was still seen as quite taboo by most people at that time.) He went on late night TV, was totally honest about the experience- he was downright charming about it. And not only did we forgive him- we found ourselves rooting for him! Suddenly the cop who entrapped him was the loser in that situation.
It could be like that for the BRF and Meg. But they need to do it now.
Memoir is an English word. It is spelled without the "e" at the end in English.
Un mémoire is of course a French word, but used in English, it is spelled without an 'e' at the end, and without an accent aigu.
The UK public's interest was natural. This was Harry's child too. Surely this would have been explained to her? They have now admitted that they lied about the details of his birth, on purpose.
For someone so whip-smart, she seems determined to wreck every social situation she encounters. Or there was a reason she could not present the public with a baby. In any case it makes no sense that she and her newborn would be discharged from the hospital after 4 hours of a birth, and it is outrageous for them to think people would believe that.
BTW, the carpet is pretty nice.
Their children have "Spanish" names. Isn't that the cultural appropriation that I have been told by the overly sensitive snowflakes is horrible?
The NY Times is getting markled because they have decided not to challenge Hilaria Baldwin on her assertions that she didn't lie. After printing the opinion piece from Meghan about her alleged miscarriage, their reputation is getting besmirched.
Their reputation has been a dumpster fire for quite some time. A lot of their supposed investigative journalism stories have been revealed to be fiction.
Just saw a photo of the Baldwin Familia. There are five children, including an infant. I recall her writing about suffering a miscarriage recently, which seems to be a trend going around the Internet. I don’t know if it was meant to be before this current infant or after. The baby she’s holding looks well under one… Very young, maybe six months? So if she’s had time to have a miscarriage already, she must’ve been trying to get pregnant again as soon as coming home from the hospital. I confess at the time that my immediate thought was, quote not surprised, her body must be completely depleted.“ Because she’s had a new baby almost every year since they’ve been married. Three of the little tots have white blonde hair, and I gather that Northern Mediterranean peoples can be blonde, but let’s just say with two dark-haired parents, it was a surprise. Alex hair was black when he was younger, and I’m sure H colors her hair to make it darker, but these are some seriously blonde kids. The two oldest ones have nondescript medium brown hair. Alec is over 60 isn’t he, And even a $60 million fortune it’s going to have some serious inroads made on it if she’s very spend he and keeps cranking out the babies.
miscarriage was before the latest birth. you are right about the children's fairness. Ireland Baldwin (Alec's child with the blonde Basinger)is of course strawberry blonde. but children's hair colour can change - the eldest girl & boy were very fair when born
The Portuguese and Italians also tend to live in their own little communities, but the Portuguese tend not to know another language and the Italians like to stick with their families and eat their own type of food.
Even in multinational companies I worked in where there was a large expat group, the Spaniards always stuck to themselves and away from others and never joined in for skiing or sailing trips sponsored by the social club.
So, I always found it odd that a Spanish woman would marry an English speaking American and move and live in the USA.
Elsa Pataky — from Madrid to LA, to Byron Bay? Of course, she is an actress.

@Happy Camper 🤣
Meghan’s story, marrying into and leaving the BRF, is far more controversial and historical. Add on the fact she moved stateside and is attempting to use their gains into a (what they think) is a legitimate foundation model, copying the RF playbook, she’s out Fergie’ing the last controversial figure in the BRF.
Hilary/Hilaria is getting further crushed by appropriating Spanish heritage. Meghan can hold her hat on the ‘half-black’ thing and never be questioned due to the current PC environment.
I’d say this whole debacle is far worse for Hilaria’s income horse- Alec, than anyone else. He looks conned, like he makes bad judgment, and is now married to a lunatic who appropriates culture (a huge No No in hollywood). Let’s see what comes of Alec.
Magatha- stupendous as usual. The poem about Harry's glottal was the best.
For all the bot and upvote buying, the constant drip feeds to the press about their latest ventures and the Christmas card, H&M still appear to be getting skewered. In today's DM article about how Harry's accent is changing, the commenters are on fire. Very angry and very humorous comments! Here's the deal- the bottom line is that the British and the rest of the world really loved Harry and to see this transformation into this woke Hollywood dope just does not sit right. So, they can pull out whatever cards they can but it cannot take that feeling away from people. Meghan just CANNOT make herself likeable.
They are fighting a battle that they cannot win. If the Queen leaves their titles intact, the public will be furious and further outraged which generates more negative feelings towards them. If the Queen strips their titles, they will be disgraced and it will more or less be proven that they have wronged the RF. I cannot see a way to spin this PR. Meghan has to know this. Harry is too dumb but Meghan knows. She's a fascinating person. Highly dangerous though. She gives me the creeps, honestly.
This Hilaria stuff is..........hilarious. What a weirdo. I would die of embarassment and crawl into a hole if I was her.
a new episode of A Very Royal Narcissist has just dropped.
In the same way, I don't think that Harry is a helpless spectator hostage to MM. He has to know AND approve of her methods to remove money from the gormless.
Does the BRF know that both Archie and the Sussexes' residence in Montecito (apart from possibly Oprah's poolhouse) are complete frauds? Probably. But if they are to maintain plausible deniability of Meg's massive con, they must be seen to be acting as concerned relatives justifiably afraid for Archie's welfare.
What would Madam do then?
“My name is Yankee Doodle. I am a real-life nephew of my Uncle Sam, born on the Fourth of July.”
“Yes, and....”
“Well, I have homes all over the world. I own many autos, superb sailing and motorized yachts, a fabulous (private, of course), railroad, too many planes and jets to count. I have had many careers, along with my hunky husband, who has broken the speed of bodily wind. I love being a billionaire, and want to share my name and countless successes to the world.”
“Oh, you are such a billionaire! Can you prove what you just said?”
“of course not. I would not be calling Forbes if I was truthful.”
“Oh, you are perfect for our cover!!!! If married, your husband must undergo the only test we have - Megs Markle sniff test on monied males.”
Later....
“Oh Hairball, we are now billionaires. Thank f..k we have Barbie and Ken. Nothing I said could be seen as lying, as Hilaria”
“No, our lies are beyond mere Baldwins. We are royal shysters! Maybe schmucks? But the Barbie Doll they sent our way - our Archie doll says he wants to marry her, and live in Malibu Barbara house, cars, and clothes.”

I think you're right.
The BRF can put this all down to working with mental health issues - both Harry and Meghan's. No need to hide things any longer. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Well said! Please send a copy to the Palace.

@Blonde Gator..Tyler Perry is rumored to be gay or at least bisexual. He is also a low key kind of guy. MM is a camera whore and creates drama for attention. I have never met TP personally, but I live near Atlanta and have met people who have encountered him( extras for his movies). Super chill down to earth star. You couldn't pick him out in a grocery store he blends in so well. I also think his worth is exaggerated like Kylie Jenners. I doubt TP would fall for the geriatric salad tosser.
@SirStxAlot...I’ve met Tyler Perry via my job. He was extremely nice and very easy to work with. From what I know of him in Atlanta, you are right in that he is said to be very low key and does lots of charitable works without fanfare. Some of his good works leak out and some do not.
I don’t pay that much attention to his sexual orientation, but if he likes women, never in a million years would I see him with Meghan Markle. Unlike Harry, he seemed to have a good sense of who he is as a person and would not be taken in by a manipulator like Meghan. I also have heard he has a deep faith on God. Many of his characters are christian and he got his start in the entertainment business with his Madea character on what is known as the “chitlin circuit,” which is mostly made up of black churches.
On the other hand, Meghan would worship a pile of dog crap if it was associated with wealth, status, and power.
My guess is he did the podcast to be a good guy, and likely as a favor to Oprah. I think letting them stay in his empty house was also a favor to Oprah.

I think all of us here are in agreement that Thomas Markle has been hard done by. Whatever his parenting failures, and whatever contributions he made to the monster his daughter has become, he acted out of love for her, always. Gave her the shirt off his back, quite literally, to make all her dreams come true. Then, after he was old, sick broke and used up (by her), she discarded him like a used Kleenex. It must be even more salt in the wound of his gaping soul which she has sucked dry to know that his grandchild is in Montecito--so close, compared to London, UK, and he still will never see him.
If, as I believe, Meghan isn't actually mothering Tom's grandson in a Montecito playhouse, well, that's just one more heinous fraud perpetrated on an old man who was devoted to her. Inventing a grandchild and taunting your sick and elderly father with that absence in his life is even worse than ditching him for the wedding or not returning his calls. Archie as an additional way to torment her old dad?--Meg is toying with her father's emotions, and has demonstrated amply that she doesn't give a rat's butt if the additional stress of this never-ending legal proceeding hastens his death. I'm sure Meg is hoping every day that Tom will drop dead so he can't testify against her at trial. If she lived closer she might even arrange that herself.
Since Tom is currently embroiled in litigation with his daughter and they are very publicly and acrimoniously estranged, I think it's best if he stays out of the Archie matter. It could be interpreted as a spiteful legal gambit . . .and even if it were granted, there'd be the travelling back and forth between Mexico and Montecito . . lodging, expenses (Meg's hardly gonna put him up in the mansion, particularly if she doesn't own the mansion) and he'd be dredging up all kinds of inquiry into his fitness to have contact with the child. Meg might take this opportunity to accuse Thomas publicly of molesting her as a child.
She must prevent anyone from 'seeing Archie' on their terms . . ie, in the flesh--if there's no kid. So I do not doubt that she will do anything to safeguard her secret. Being the Narc that she is, though, she's got to keep sailing closer and closer to the wind, teasing images and sound bites of 'Archie'. Her eyes are on that huge payday, see. She can only see one or two moves ahead, so her goal is to secure a huge sum to 'show Archie'. After that is attained . . she'll worry about finding a child later. At least, that's how I interpret her mind to work. The latest image of Archie on the Christmas card is proof of nothing whatsoever. He could have been clipped out of a children's catalog.
There's no names on the card, either, which is glaring. Who doesn't put their names on a Christmas card? There weren't any names last year, either.
Meghan, it is hilarious that all the other PR reps, media, and writers that are sitting on blistering news or takedowns, have figured out her shtick. She sues them all then invades her own privacy, so she had what was coming to her there. Basically, they wait to release something so it overshadows her attempts at success. Or, they release something so THEIR client looks better than her, in contrast (like Brad Pitt).
I figured it was going to get worse for her, and she figured Spotify and Netflix would pick up the PR tab for their shows. The issue is how much it is costing to educate the public of what an ‘archewell’ is. I bet she didn’t calculate just how expensive bringing a brand new name or
Product to market is. They never do. And that’s the crux of the issue here.
Since Grip is suing MOS I doubt if Tom's passing would stop the case. I'm sure by now he (as a witness) has video taped his side of the story. MOS has probably already deposed him (just in case) and for all I know the other side has as well.
Remember when this whole thing started the sugars said Grip wouldn't sue her father. because she loved him too much.
If there is no Archie (I suspect there is, but by surrogate) then Drip is 100% in on the deception. That I find hard to believe. I could believe he is all in on hiding a surrogacy as he knows that would be the end of everything if the public found out.
Doria is caught in whatever scam is going on. She quit her job right around the wedding and hasn't had a paying (or livable paycheck kind of pay) job since. So where does the money come from to support her? Oh yes, she is paid as the "nanny" I'm sure. Silly Yanks who use nan for free child care when they could use other people's money to pay them.
Ahem. A "donkey show" is slang for a live sex show. I'm guessing that is not what you wanted to watch.

Let's hope so, for Tom's sake. I know he is only a witness, not the defendant, but endless delays by his daughter given his state of health just look really bad on her end. He would have testified via video link anyway, given Covid, but it'd be nice for him to have some validation while he's around to see it. It's so obvious that Meg's endless malingering to avoid court is due to her not wanting to actually have to answer hard questions about her level of truthfulness.
If Tom does die before next fall and a trial date, Meg would have the brass neck to apply for yet another extension on the grounds of 'bereavement'. When, if he goes into an early grave, she basically kicked him into it.
Best of luck to Samantha on her book . . I'd read it, if I can get hold of a copy. I think the timing is appropriate; two years ago, very few would have believed Sam's allegations and would've dismissed her as a bitter crank with an axe to grind. Now that Meg has played out her Narc destruction on a global stage, the world has met the woman her family has been sheltering for decades. I think Sammy will have a more receptive audience now .. and I bet Piers Morgan can't wait to nab that interview.
I hope it's successful so she can get assistance for her medical bills. Lord knows her sister 'the Duchess' won't be shelling out.
The latest US President didn't put MM off living back in the US, despite her words, so sadly I don't think our change, which she had the nerve to express her opinion on, will put her off trying to crawl back here.

There are nuts and there are truthful nuts which is Samantha. I believed her before the Royal wedding, farce that it was and is. I like the idea of Piers Morgan getting the first interview.

Well, @Puds, we'll just have to wait and see, though I don't recall anything from the Palace when we joined the Common Market but then the EU evolved gradually, so perhaps it wasn't deemed necessary."
The Common Market was simply a trading bloc when we joined it, no more and no leds. No need to The Queen to opine on it.
The Common Market did have chapters therein sketching out what it eventually became, but no one in 1973 thought it would dare realise them plus it was thought to be practically impossible.
When we had a referendum about our membership in 1975, it was overwhelmingly a yes vote without equivocation because everyone thought they were voting on a trading bloc.
It should never have expanded beyond the trading bloc
The rot started soon after that and gathered steam after the fall of the Soviet union and by the late 90s over reached itself.
Ya know, if you go to the immigration site (I forget the name) people’s visa entry is public record. I think you submit the name, birthdate and a small reason to get the persons entry passport information. It will say when they entered the US and which customs area (airport, seaport etc) over 5 years. It takes about 4-6 weeks to process.

Passport. Perhaps that is why "Archie" never flew back to the UK? Possible passport or lack there of leaks??
Once in a while out of sheer boredom i clicked on an Alec Baldwin story on the DM. Sometimes they included pictures of his kids with Hilaria.
I was always surprised that the kids looked so Anglo Saxon considering their Spanish mother. Not a hint of Olive colouring in any of them.
No reason to suspect their mother's Spanish inheritance was a con, and she always presented as white with a hint of Olive (fake tan?) And that dark hair and eyebrows. Her approximation of a white Spaniard was similar to Penelope Cruz.
However when you look at the IG videos (and stills) that she's posted over the Christmas holidays to explain herself, and she's purposefully filmed with little to no make up in close up, you can clearly see the artifice.
Her skin tone without it's usual tan is completely North European (this is a thing if you've ever looked properly at someone from North vs South European), her black hair is clearly hair dyed - you can see the very light roots and her dark eyebrows are tattoo'd on.
It's quite amazing.

Archie has a passport - they took him to Ibiza and to France last summer.
nytimes has been a joke/ faux news site for years. their investigative journalists make up their fictional stories and they have no reputable research departments, how could all those fake stories make it to. press? they’ve been living off their past laurals, awards and prestige for decades.
hilaria- is a total faker, lmao. the fake accent and not correcting the medias multple ‘mistakes’ in their writing prove it to me. she’s a thristy, publcity seeking, grasping instagrammer, there is no way she , OR her family, didnt read those articles see the errors. faker! that said, i do understand a couple of her points. ‘home’ to me can. also be where my parents live today, but i would never claim to ‘be’ from there.
but, i’ve never unstood the whole ‘cultural appropriation’ claims on pretty much anything. cultures, style, fashion, etc constantly mix. no one ‘owns’ anything, to me imitation is the highest form of flattery.
I’m going to guess she ‘sold’ herself and her brand/ image as one of those ‘authentic’ types, and not just in it for a buck like the Kardtrashians so i do have to laugh at her and Alec’s current predicament. he’s obnoxious and shes thirsty.
Harry- im back to his new current Fake accent. the podcast apparently has him speaking Estuary/ Mid Atlantic, instead of his ‘authentic’ modern RP. Faker!!!! the Estuary / Mid Atlantic speakers need to throw a hissy-fit about him mis-appropriating their cultural / class as his own, instead of owning up to his RP extremely priveledged exclusive cultural background.
Ah yes, indeed, Acquitaine, I remember it well. You're quite right, it was a smooth transition because we accepted it was just a matter of trade, ditto for the referendum of 1975.
I'd been sceptical since 1960/1 & recall a classmate asking my opinion to which I replied, very mildly, wttte that we'd always valued our independence and it seemed odd to be thinking of giving it up. She screamed at me that I obviously wanted WW III; so rather than get involved with an argument about the Franco-German Steel Arrangement/NATO/and which enemy did she have mind?- I shrugged and got on with what I was doing. It was about this time that de Gaulle said `Non!'.
It was also when I learned that if someone substitutes shouting and abuse for a reasoned argument, they haven't got a good case.
that's right. I stand corrected that he has one. Thank you for bringing that up.
We don't know the name on it as no one has produced a copy of it. But you are right, there has to be one for that baby. (I'm still team pillow).

@Puds: When I was stationed in Texas, there were advertisements from Mexico about special "shows" featuring women and donkeys, if you know what I mean.
I thought about that. We saw one picture of him being held coming off the private jet. Doesn't mean it was a live action shot (because how would anyone know they were coming--pap wise?).
It also doesn't mean that baby is or isn't "Archie" but if born of surrogacy (my theory as we all know) then by day 42 post birth he can legally be adopted in the UK and his birth certificate will reflect the adoptive parents as if they were the birth parents. So there is that.
I just find it incredibly odd, bordering on unbelievable, that they would jet back and forth to the UK a couple of times leaving their infant with Jessica (who lives on the other side of Canada from Vancouver). I personally would want to endear my child as much as possible to HM and especially Daddy Warbucks.
What were they afraid of?
Are you saying that Hilaria made her family sign NDAs re the wedding--that her family could not talk with the Baldwin family. Maybe that is what Hilaria meant when she said her family had a hard time pronouncing the name, Baldwin.
Just like, according to RadarOnline, there was an article (after the wedding) stating that the Royal family (not Madam), made Doria sign an NDA to not talk about the wedding or anything--which I do not believe for a minute. I am sure her daughter made her sign an NDA, but not The Queen.
I think Samantha's book is self-published. Not sure. The link to order it should be available soon which makes me believe that no publisher is involved because otherwise, pre-ordering would be available much earlier
I will let you know as soon I can.
the mystery of Archie's voice solved.
You're correct! I remember at the time there was something strange (but then again, when isn't there?). And the baby was never photographed in the UK, outside of the baptism. Then again the baptism photo had some very strange meta data. The data indicated the picture was taken May 6, not in July. But it could have been a camera recalibration.
Very strange Doria was never spotted arriving in the UK for the birth or the baptism. Or leaving the UK after the birth or the baptism either. Like a puff of smoke she appeared in the copyrighted pictures but no candids and no paps.
Very strange indeed. I've always thought the key to the truth is to take a long hard look at Doria, her actions, and her finances.
