Catching up with the latest news on the Sussexes (and the Royals)

"Portrait of a broken man," writes Twitter hunk Alexander Cortes above an image of Prince Harry. "Look how dead his eyes are."

Almost a hundred of Cortes' 94,000 followers responded. 

"Bet the only time he feels alive is when he Googles how to get a divorce without losing the family fortune," one says.

Writes another: "Take her out for a drink, they said. Meet new people, they said. What could go wrong, they said. EVERYTHING COULD GO F****** sideways, thanks b*******....ps please send help.

"This guy gave up everything - family, friends, etc. because he chose probably one of the worst women on the planet," says a third commenter. "Everyone from Queen to commoner was begging him not to do it - but he decided being woke was worth it....now look at him...damn shame."

"When his marriage collapses I'm sure he's gonna turn further right than Napoleon," was the top comment. 

Actual image vs PR image

So...this is Prince Harry's actual image. This what people think about him, real people outside the media bubble. 

Inside that bubble, he and Meghan and their PR people continue to work hard on what they think is his image, or their image, although no one seems to think much about Meghan at all these days. 

Harry offers us a video to celebrate 150 years of the English rugby team, and and the supposedly leaked information spotted on the top of a bus with James Corden, who like all late night hosts is suffering from a ratings depression after the departure of Donald Trump. (I'm guessing that the person who "spotted them" works for one of their publicists.) Is it a skit for Cordon's show? Something for Harry's Netflix special? Does anyone care?

Then the Sussexes continue their woke pose at a Zoom poetry class for Black History month, even though the army of the woke hasn't shown any particular interest in Harry. 

(He and Meghan did have a meeting with California governor Gavin Newsom, no doubt to pitch Meghan as a possible replacement for Kamala Harris in the Senate. She wasn't chosen - if he were to have chosen a Black woman, San Francisco mayor London Breed would have been first in line - and Newsom is very close to being recalled at the moment, so he no doubt has other things on his mind.)

And there's the evergreen Royal conflict story, in which it is disclosed that Harry will be returning to the UK this summer without Meghan for the Trooping of the Color. Is it because the entire Royal family and much of the UK dislikes her? No, it's just to "keep Archie safe" from COVID. Sure.

I'm still not entirely convinced that Archie exists and, if he does, that he is living with the Sussexes.

The Queen's Gambit

The most interesting Royal story of the moment, of course, concerns the Queen's wealth and her attempts to conceal her private wealth in the 1970s.

The Queen's own counsel reportedly put pressure on ministers to exempt heads of state from transparency measures, an unusual venture into politics for the monarch.

It's not a particularly good look for the Royal Family, already tarnished by the Sussex scandal and by the obvious unsuitability of Charles for the top job. 

The only positive news seems to come from the Cambridges with their endless Zoom chats with health workers, dog stories (losing longtime companion Lupo and obtaining a new puppy) and cute kids doing occasional appearances. 

And, of course, Eugenie's new arrival. Congratulations, Eugenie and Jack, on your new baby boy! What are the odds on him being named Philip?

It’s clear she was furious at not being allowed to merch Archificial and do whatever she wanted as a ‘new young mother’. Now her leaving timeline makes more sense to me. Reactive. She did not sign up to work after children! Who do the brits think they are making Royals go to nice events! :)
This is the clincher baby. Harry wanted out. We just saw all this zooms. She’d have to be blind and deaf to not have the pulse on what her hostage was planning. To the ivf/ surrogate clinic she went! This guy’s life is over.

@AnT lol- thank you! :)

Also- wouldn't put it past Meg to fake this pregnancy too, only to suffer "another" miscarriage- this time in real time, like Chrissy T. Sympathy is fuel.
AnT said…
@jessica,

She won’t pay for anything but a girl infant, is my guess. Big old Archie was worthless to her.


@JennS, jessica,

Then Hot Rob takes the lifeless vinyl form of Archie over to a movie tech friend at Industrial Light & Magic and they say, sure, we can fix this.

On Mothers Day, Rob joins James Corden for a spin and introduces his new sidekick Snarchie. And reveals he traced the code on its little plastic bum back to Megs. The Daily Mail gets headline: Hot Rob Surprises Cold Gob & Slob.

Exactly @Jessica --Clincher. Hapless has no way out. He will be treated with kid gloves in his upcoming visit to England. Charles will spill more Duchy money. Perhaps the Queen too, for number Two. No titles to be stripped.

YOW ****. I meant to type “his shot” ! Ugh autocorrect iPad wait will try to kill the post
Thank you, Jocelyn’s Bellini’s.

My father would have tackled any bloke accosting me in public – when I was 12, out walking the dog in the field at the back of our house, an unsavoury-looking character blocked my path. I escaped over a fallen tree that bridged a stream in a deep gully. He yelled at me to come back but dog & I kept running.

When I told my parents about it, Dad set off, still in his rubber boots carrying the garden fork with him. Goodness knows what he’d have done had he caught his quarry.

I suspected that my parents imagined that only strangers would interfere with a child, not that a friend & colleague would do it in our sitting room in a 30-second -long opportunity. Dad would have had to have chosen between believing me, resulting in untold repercussions at work, and taking the easier course and assuming I was lying. Things were different in many ways 60-odd years ago.

---------

Why the bare dirty feet thrust almost into `our' space? Trying to be super-arty?

Perhaps we need to look for a photographer who is keen on paintings by Caravaggio, where they are indicative of poverty, rather than Bronzino's Allegory with Venus and Cupid (as used by Monty Python')? The latter is usually interpreted as being about `deceptive love’ and syphilis. I dunno though…


See The Crucifixion of St Peter at https://www.freeart.com/artwork/art-print/the-crucifixion-of-st-peter_fan19807982.html

And Allegory with Venus and Cupid at
https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/view_as/grid/search/keyword:allegory-of-love-bronzino

Art History can be useful at times – how much of the evidence is witting and how much unwitting? Are they trying to send a message but oblivious of the irony?

Here's what I see in that photo: 1) Harry's wearing a rug (even the B&W photo cannot hide the different color of the top vs. the side; 2) Definite beginning of a double chin; and 3) some thunderous thighs on Megalo.

Maybe she just got fat....and I have to question the Christmas card depiction again, not a photo, so the paint-by-numbers job may be merely hiding....what? The timing of this announcement is beyond convenient. So convenient it's unbelievable, really. Maybe she'll pop out a 3 year old princess, right?

@WBBM,

My father was very cool, calm and collected in even the worst of circumstances and he used words, rather than weapons, to get his point across. He never acted out of anger, and would never harm another person, unless it was in an emergency situation to protect his family from physical harm.

I must be about the same age as you, so I think it's just the way different people react in the same situation. Dad would never use a weapon (pitchfork) to threaten another person. His words and calm approach were enough.

Oh well, differences in people are what make the world go round.

@ Magatha,

You've outdone yourself on the last one! I'm still laughing.

@Jenn,

Have a great Valentine's Day dinner! My BF and I always stay in, and our tradition is lobster (his own recipe) and champagne. He does all of the cooking on Valentine's Day. I'm guessing that a little surprise is in store after dinner, and it's always jewelry (yippee!) on Valentine's Day. Luckily, we're both retired and don't have to worry about working tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's Day to all Nutties! I hope all of you have a great day and evening.
The photographer = Misan Harriman, black/Nigerian in origin/British/associated with BLM/approves of activists.

That pic looks over-sharpened to me. Perhaps in spite of all. he likes Renaissance art but doesn't really understand it?

GQ article is rather informative:
https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/misan-harriman-interview

especially this -

" She’s dressed very elegantly but has no shoes on, which adds to [the impression of] being wild and free, and then he’s very regal.”
Just reverse the pronouns.
"Open Privacy our daily dose of what we do not want you to see." - my favourite DM comment.
@Blonde Gator,

I looked at the Christmas card again, and I can see the line of her breast through her shirt, then a flat stomach. Sitting down for the photo was definitely done on purpose.
@JennS - What's to stop her popping out a new (vinyl) bairn every couple of years until she's
carried out in a box - Pregnant at 90? Nothing's impossible for SuperMegs.

Regarding the picture

He had a lot of hair! (You called it right).

Notice how the dress is long enough to drape down and cover her feet (that she never liked the look of).

Her ear looks "complicated" and abrupt around the earlobe juncture.

When I'm looking this, what seems off is how the light is hitting things - like Harry's nose, right in front of his ear, the cornrows and then on his fingers below them, his hair, her forearm, her face makeup shadows and so on.

The Telegraph is making sure she won't sue it. Nauseating.

Even better Mail comment:

"I hope it's a girl and they name her after Doria and Diana...like, Diarrhea! That would be perfect for this couple that puts out so much crap."
Hikari said…
Hello, my Nutties,

Obviously, my Lenten resolution cannot stand. When I made it, I never dreamt that Rachel would pull the fake bump business a second time.

At this moment, I am too beside myself at the specter of this thing once again parading her motherhood, or “motherhood” in front of the world, that I cannot entertain a rational discussion that she could actually be pregnant this time. That will have to be a post for another day. Once again, the Harkles present us with a photographic project that demonstrates how very self-absorbed and head up arses they are. I know some of you are convinced that she is the mother of a 20-month-old boy, and is fecund enough in her 40th year to conceive A third pregnancy with Harry I. What must have been mere weeks After the tragic miscarriage in July, for her to be this huge in February.

I will only observe that another Royal just gave birth mere days ago, is barely home from hospital and was probably planning on releasing her new son’s name this week. Once again, Smeg preempts Eugenie’s thunder with her own twee B&W picture. Sarah must be loaded for bear in Royal Lodge.

Funny how, just a day or two before this “surprise!“ Emanating from Montecito, we were treated to a barrage of articles and some of megs favorite publications about how the Duchess of Cambridge is trying for a fourth child, but there is “concern” given her age. Yet, Smeg’s is six months older, but she’s superwoman. I view this announcement as the latest salvo in her weird and obsessive rivalry with both Catherine and Eugenie.

My friend mischief girl reminds me that it was 35 years ago today, Valentine’s Day, that Diana announced she was expecting Harry, Who really believes in a coincidence of this magnitude?

Meg is the cult failure of our time. She and Harry have been shown up on the international stage as having absolutely nothing to offer which is Creative, heartfelt, or professional. They are in capable of producing anything except interpersonal drama. Smeg’s the internationally renowned humanitarian feminist has reduced herself To nothing more than a wig and a womb. Frivolous litigation and teasing pregnancies that may or may not exist is all she’s got going for her. Six months from now I predict she will rent a girl baby and sell those pictures to People which she never got for Archie.

If I were Jewish right now, I would be going off to sit Shiva for my sanity. Since I am Lutheran, I will take the only avenue open to me: my trusty bottle of Cabernet right here. Obviously I’m going to have to give something else up for Lent. Plenty of vices to choose from.

I don’t think I ever really experienced hatred personally toward any individual until I met Meg and the real Harry. I know it now.


"Because if there’s another thing this place does better than anywhere else, it’s squirrelling out new mums and their progeny through a series of underground car parks and tunnels, away from the baying paparazzi. Meghan avoided the whole ghastly tap-dance on the hospital steps last time, and she’s likely to want still more privacy now..."

@WBBM,

I read the article about the photographer. One thing that stuck out to me is that he was hired by MM fan boy Edward Enniful to do a Vogue cover. Again, it's a small world, huh!
AnT said…
@jessica,

One more time, here is my “B” Scenario.

Megs invites Harry to come outside to discuss his tearful requests to leave her forever.

We know the photo was taken remotely via iPad by the photographer, per the article in People or DM, can’t recall which. So a glazed relaxed groggy hobby-filled shoeless confused Harry follows her out to sit and talk. He sees no photographer, since the iPad is doing the job.

She lays back so her faux bump can be seen by the iPad. Groggy floating Harry wiggles his toes to the music in his thick head and smiles.

Click click click. Remote photographer picks an image, enhances bump, it is sent to SS for release on Valentines Day.

When Harry wakes up at 2 pm in LA out of his usual depressed Sunday hangover, he learns he is about to be “a father”.

Gotcha again, dearie. Please leave your wallet with Doria at the front desk.
AnT said…
@HIKARI!
(Throws a Valentine bonbon in gratitude for your return on this momentous day!)

Your line “Megs is the cult failure of our time” is so well phrased, so accurate I actually paused a moment to savor it. It is profound. “Nothing more than a wig and a womb...”. Again, dead perfect. I think Camilla Long would salute your commentary, and request the use of your wordplay.

I join you in the glass of wine, but please don’t be this disheartened. Try to find the funny side.

Or, enjoy the fact that each brazen horrific step this demented narcissist takes actually makes her more publicly disliked. Each act of arrogance or defiance or deception probably makes her less careful as well (remember, she is giddy from the high of “winning” and deceiving).

The less careful she is, and the more she does, after offending the press with lies and abusing many people, the closer she comes to the harsh snapback of her personal karma. And I suspect the teeth of her karma will be something to behold.

Markle is geriatric in the pregnancy world. No way she's been pregnant twice in the last six months. She's old, and her eggs are ancient. Maybe she's learned how to fake carry the pillow this time. Everyone's certainly pointed out her mistakes with the first fake pregnancy.

@Happy Days: zie said...
@Sylvia--September due date? She's got to be wearing padding in the photo or is pregnant with multiples. And wouldn't a Sept date mean it's early to announce?

@ lizzie and Sylvia: I that’s a real bump, that baby isn’t due in September. I’d say she is about five months along and the baby will come in May-ish. Possibly June.


I didn't even show except maybe a tiny pooch when I was two months' pregnant.
AnT said…
@Hikari,

And I will double down right now for your sake with my firm belief that there is no real Archie. Just child actors or plastic dummies.

Maybe they can keep one child actor mother quiet for now in Essex or Capetown or Uncle Elton’s maid’s quarters.

But a second one? In LA? Or Smalltown, USA? Land of the quick buck and hunger for 15 minutes of fame? Home of reality show dollars and 10000 unemployed freelance gossip reporters wanting the big payout that the tabs are dangling for the truth about Tinseltown’s most disliked snotty cheap unfriendly starlet, and her invisible baby and weepy prince. She will remain hidden here?

Nah. Mother #2 will have her price. Or there will be someone who knows where they live. Even during a pandemic. People need money. Gardeners, drivers, delivery people, the people next door, nurses, orderlies, people in a park, drivers. Need. Money. The truth about Archie and Baby #2 is a heartbeat away in the USA, in my opinion. Even her backers and SS and Soho House and Markus can’t be everywhere and monitor every hole in the wall that this random jumpy wig-topped clown punches through

The MoS debacle won’t make the US tabs give up, it will ignite them and foreign press will be ready to receive the truth ball as well. Someone, somewhere will feel her wrath, and allow the army in.

Just a matter of time.

Pond Scum Grip. That is what I shall now call her. Truly, no decent person would operate this way. However we all know ' decent ' is not even in her vocabulary. As for Drip, he deserves what is coming his way. I hope PSG has blown through Drips` inheritance from his Mum and he will have to ' find a job '. Also, how very convenient that March is fast approaching, although I never really believed the 12 month long review period. For The Queen to now yank, and deservedly so, those coveted titles would be viewed as cruel and unusual punishment by her mentally insane supporters. You would hear PSG howling like a banshee from Mudslide Manor if that happened. To say I am gobsmacked that PSG and Drip would stoop this low would not be true. Maybe PSG will slip on a banana peel and smack her noggin so she will be lights out for the whole 11 month 'pregnancy ' and we will be spared from the barrage of horseshite soon to follow.

That H's hair has been "filled in" is pretty obvious. And i have to say the idea of M and cornrows cracks me up. Remember her horrid wig in that last poetry video? I wondered what was up with that. Maybe it was over her cornrows.

They are looking at noses and ears and shoulders too. and zooming in on his feet too.

I am presuming the "private confidential matter" for the postponement that occurred in Oct was due to early pregnancy.

@Wild Boar Battle-maid,

I long for that day as well. It is coming, simply by the law of averages. And, remember,

“What goes up must come down.” - Isaac Newton

(Tidbit for Valentines Day: when I was a little school girl, I looked at a painting of a younger Sir Isaac Newton in a school maths book, and had an instant crush that lasted a week. We would study gravity together and the planets and I would him write up his notes and we would walk on the moors or through London. Lol. Still can’t explain that. I do love the sculpture of him in the Oxford museum.)

Her PR is all over the place. She won a privacy lawsuit. Just. This. Week. Warby must be either excited because he was in the ‘know’ of the pregnancy (4-5 months along now) OR he is gobsmacked at her audacity. If he has a shred of dignity, it’s the former. She’s made a fool of him. Warby = Markled.

I asked my husband if he saw the news, “Well, there’s a lot to unpack there...she’s bringing up Diana, pretending to be Diana to manipulate Harry again...and didn’t she just write an article about her miscarriage? Weird thing to do considering she was pregnant at the time....”

“Can we block her from our Google/computers?”

He’s now making an extension so we can block mentions of her if we wish.

@AnT
OMG Snarchie and gob and slob. ROTFLOL!!!

I'm picturing HotRob skillfully surfing waves when he suddenly notices a form knocking against his board. Peering into the foamy water he spies an orange and pink object tumbling around in the choppy surf. Quickly grabbing it and hoisting it in the air he shakes off strands of seaweed and seagull feathers and realizes it is Master Archificial 7th in line to the royal throne.

The 21-month-old vinyl boy spent 3 days off the California coast having been swept out to sea where he floated on the swells and served as a seagull station.
Fauxchie had been through a horrendous aquatic ordeal. His super bright red hair glistening in the sunlight had attracted a giant sea turtle who nibbled all the tips of his fingers and toes off. The saltwater caused his vinyl skin to pucker and peel and the heat of the sun melted his head causing the left side to cave in.
He was returned closer to shore thanks to the unexpected aid of a sea lion who mistook him for a juicy squid. Becoming entangled in the sea lion's flipper when that poor creature was targeted by a killer whale, Archificial hitched a ride and was dragged at a very fast pace to more shallow waters.

Upon inspection HotRob notices the vinyl boy's poor condition which also included an eye lost to the beak of a gull and an arm to the jaws of the sea lion.
He realizes that a scam was being perpetrated not only on the royal family but on his precious Montecito.
Hot Rob takes the lifeless vinyl form of Archie over to a movie tech friend at Industrial Light & Magic and they say, sure, we can fix this.
On Mothers Day, Rob joins James Corden for a spin and introduces his new sidekick Snarchie. And reveals he traced the code on its little plastic bum back to Megs.

AnT,

Humble thanks for the props. “Random jumpy wig-topped clown” has a certain panache, too. Methinks that Rachel busted out the special nose candy to celebrate her win over Mail on Sunday. Can’t wait for Round Deux of belly-cupping, coat flicking and “breast-feeding”.

Let’s sit back and watch the congratulations pour in from all her celebrity pals, shall we? And how can the timing of this stunt be anything less than a screw you to Thomas...she’s triumphed over the MoS, Humiliating her dad all over again, and now she flaunts yet another “grandchild“
that he will never see. Thomas shouldn’t feel too special there, because there’s no one in the world who really gets to see Archie either, and the same will be true again.

KnitWit,

Cheers. Or I should say, “Probst!” Well, I d take some comfort in the surety that this deceitful greedy trollop is going straight to hell... if it weren’t taking so long. Now I’m off to take a look at Dan Wooten’s Twitter.
Magatha said: -" Doriana Ragina sounds regal..."

Yes indeed - `Doriana' sounds like `Gloriana/Oriana'!, as in Weelkes's madrigal `As Vesta was from Latmos Hill' descending:

So many `Nymphs of Diana' still around.


That reminds me of the story, allegedly true, about a medium holding a seance who claimed to be channelling a another female monarch -

In a strange voice (don't know if it had the authentic German accent) she declared:

Prince Harry and Meghan expecting their second baby

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's baby will be the Queen’s tenth great-grandchild and the first to be born abroad

ByVictoria Ward and Jessica Carpani15 February 2021 • 4:34am

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their second child, it was announced on Sunday night.

The baby, a younger sibling for Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, who turns two in May, will be the Queen’s tenth great-grandchild and the first to be born abroad.

The news comes barely three months after the Duchess, 39, revealed she had suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage last summer and as she celebrates a resounding victory in her privacy case against Associated Newspapers Limited.

It is thought she is around five months pregnant and is due in early summer. The baby will be eighth in line to the throne.

The couple are understood to have chosen to reveal the news on Valentine’s Day, “because they were happy and they liked the idea” that it was a day to celebrate love


Copied pasted Skippy blog

The Telegraph reporting that she is 5 months along and due in summer.
This announcement is just super creepy and has been done for maximum publicity.
What bothers me:
1. Obviously they are not seeking privacy.
2. Announcement made in the same day that Diana did 37 years ago but she was 2 months pregnant while this Narc is supposedly 5 months preggers.
3. Narc is due in summer. Seeing as how she has control over everything, would she then go for July 1, Diana’s birthday?
4.
Her obsession with Diana and Harry’s obsession with Diana is now not just creepy but very disturbing too. They both need to be confined in a mental facility. They are becoming increasingly crazy.

Thanks, Jocelyn! We did have a good time and a nice meal. It was the first time I have gone out to eat since it got too cold to dine in the outdoor seating areas the restaurants set up.

JennS,

She has too many reasons to take on another child at the moment: titles, money from the family + security, HRH is still there remember, merching in US...we saw hints of her attempts already.
Recall these episodes: Meghan went out to dinner with Katherine and David Foster. She tried to signal she was preggo, but we thought she was just attention seeking (and she was). She wanted press and speculation then and didn’t get it. Next on the agenda, the fake miscarriage story that was an opinion piece not vetted by a journalist nor fact checked. No nurse or admin or passerby has noted this event from a major celeb. Fake. That got her a news spike of sympathy after the Chrissy Tiegen miscarriage play by play, and pivoted from the worst PR of their lives- CemeteryGate.

Then we spot her in the news wobbling around in December running an errand with Harry. Harry is dressed in a button down shirt for the warm day. Meghan? Sweater tunic, pants, parka, and boots like she’s headed to a ski resort. At the time we stated it was bizarre and out of place clothing. Didn’t really hint ‘pregnancy’ but in retrospect that’s what she was wanting. Speculation. Didn’t work. She just looked like a weirdo who decided to get dressed in the dark.

She, previously in October, used her private life to manipulate Warby, he’s now special and knows about a new Royal baby, he better do as expected (Narcs trade on information). The irony of this is astounding in of itself, but I will leave it where it’s at- messy. To be a fly on his dining room wall today :).

jessica said…
Still nothing leaked. The news didn’t care if she was preggo or not. She decided to disappear and see how the SJ would pan out, and further how Sam’s book would behave in the market. Unfortunately Sam’s book revelations never made it to the news and I’ve pinned that on her lack of marketing, obtaining a publisher at the last minute, and changing the publication date too many times. The interest faded and there’s been no further push for the book to be newsworthy.

Meghan overestimates the public’s interest in her- the SJ was quickly reported and ignored and Sam’s book fell flat. While these outcomes are positive for Meghan they lacked what she craves: attention and chaos. She would have loved a fight with her sister or Warby to claim Victim again and keep in the news. Basically no fuel for our resident Narc.

All of this months long effort and NO ONE speculated often or frequently (a few of our eagle eyed readers did here!). Meghan resorts to sending in her own Tip to the new hot gossip Instagram Deux Moi a couple weeks ago about she and Harry being pregnant. Referred to as A list (lol!). It went ignored. She had her sugars to promote her, but still NO OTHER reputable gossip column picked it up. Ignored again!


She then, in an upset rage building for months in frustration realizing she can’t play the US media easily or effectively, decides to execute the biggest NARC RAGE play of all: Operation Circumvent the Emerald Tiara Wearing (<—what it’s all about) Princess Eugenie’s First Born Announcement, and Hijack a Global Holiday as revenge on ALL of us for not giving her the attention all year she felt she deserved; Meghans atom bomb PR to announce Supposed Baby Number 2. To deflect from her intent she throws in the wild and creepy claim that this has anything to do with Diana, laying on the while copying the pose Julia Roberts (American actress) took up with Hugh Grant in Notting Hill, “ Harry, look at Meeeeee, I’m Diana 2.0!!!! Harry don’t you miss her? Look I am always honoring her on your behalf! I am the perfect wife and you can’t find anyone else like me! Oh so dedicated to your family, your real family- dead Diana!!!”

Meanwhile Dimwit Harry who was _this_ close to escape forgets his hostage situation and is like, ‘wow she really loves me, I miss my mom.’
Eugenie and Fergie are too busy fawning over the little one to plot revenge (oh, but it will come).
The Queen and family are disturbed, embarrassed again, and annoyed at her audacity to cry and moan about privacy and their lack of support, and yet here she is FRONT PAGE NEWS invading her OWN deeply personal medical privacy. Not to mention the dirt in her hair and on his feet. They are aristocratic, not disheveled commoners from a homeless shelter.
And the world? Will drop interest by Tuesday.

TL;DR, Meghan’s learning her PR bill is too expensive and can’t figure out how to make this game turn into money. She’s thrown everything at a wall, and nothing is sticking. Contracts in America don’t get put on hold due to pregnancy. Is the Netflix show following her conception journey? Is this the show we will see when she delivers? God help us.

What surprises me about the latest invasion of my privacy by the Harkles is that in the very posed photo she looks very pregnant (and Harry looks high). How come no one in Californication noticed this before. Once again she is clutching her stomach. Will it be a girl named Diana? Will it be black? Will it be another doll to rarely see the light of day and why no Archie Andrews in the photo? This time of course we know what to look for in deciding whether she is faking it or not. As Warby J. put it in his famous judgement: 'The Plaintiff is a highly successful actress who has for twenty years been plying her trade in Hollywood and Pinewood and on the high sees. Has she not fragrance'. I think that was what he said.

I like how Jessica says "advanced maternal age" frequently. I shall endeavor to remember to use that phrase or geriatric pregnancy.

Swampwoman, I was being gracious, unlike Meghan. Tuesday, just to be safe she doesn’t pull another stunt!! I agree she does the daily flash in a pan PR moves! One and done!

Funny, after writing that history of her failed PR attempts it looks like she’s pulled a new round of PR to remind us of those events specifically starting with her ‘pink pussybow top zoom’ look at how we all missed the signs!!! Hahaha it all did really piss her off and she’s going to let us know how stupid the world at large is and how Whip Smahrt she is! She never stops talking about the past! Gotta rewrite what was unnoticed to give herself credit for being so ‘clever’. The woman is exhausting and clearly can’t ever be wrong. Frail ego much?

Speaking of stunts is anyone else seeing this Madame Toussad’s Sydney - they put a bump on Wax Meghan and moved her to a ZOO!!!!! Lmao. I have been in fits of hysterics looking at the pictures on DM.

SwampWoman said…
Opus, you assume that Californication people find her interesting or noteworthy. Apparently not, since she had to resort to a staged picture of her lying on her back under a tree with an inflated abdomen to get a mention (and that was sent out by publicists). There wasn't a peep about pregnancy from people out and about that she may have encountered. That would seem to indicate that nobody knows who she is. I suppose that it could also mean that she just unpacked the bump that morning.

I wonder what hot rob thinks of his Loch Ness neighbors and their absurd photo shoots. Surely from a true A-lister perspective they must think she is bonkers. Imagine her convo at dinner parties:

“Are you in any films I may have seen?”
Megs... “uh...”
Rob, “Does Harry still have his ponytail?”
“Where’s Archie?”

I suggest that the Palace demands absolute, incontrovertible, proof of pregnancy - not even paperwork. Nothing short of sending a no-nonsense, trusted, physician to US to do regular physical examinations of the yet-again mother-to-be.

No photos, nor assertions, accepted.

Identity of mother to be confirmed demonstrated by fingerprints/DNA

No doctor allowed to examine her? No cash.

Acquitaine said…
I'm terrible at seeing pregnancy signs on anyone until it's too obvious to ignore, usually when they are at 6mths - had to ignore a popped pregnancy belly.

All this to say that i guess i'm off the pillow pregnancy theory and onto Meghan loves to create chaos and that's what she did first time round.

I thought she looked swollen in the face in the same way she looked during Archie's unveiling. Same swollen eyes as if she'd been crying, but too swollen to put it down to tears. Same swollen cheeks despite the photoshop to slim her face. And if you looked past the cousin it wig, her shoulders, the little that you could see, looked like she'd gained weight. In as much as she cropped the picture to mostly a headshot, she looked like she'd put on weight and was trying to hide it.

I mentioned my suspicion to a couple of friends who were adamant that she was not and it was simply bad photoshop. It's the first time in my life that i've called a pregnancy correctly, and only from image comparison.

I've concluded that if i think she looked like her Archie unveiling version and she's genuinely pregnant this time round then i have to revise my previous suspicions about the Archie pregnancy in so far as it relates to surrogacy.

I still think Archie was born much earlier than his unveiling - Harry unwittingly mentioned how babies changed so much over the course of "afew or was it two weeks" when Archie was supposed to be 2days old.

Archie has always been too big and too physically advanced for his stated age. Every time he is shown in public i've become more certain in that assessment.

I think Meghan caused so much chaos with her Archie pregnancy to gain maximum attention. As a hollywood actress, she would have been allowed to prance everywhere, naked photo shoots and all to show off her pregnancy without much comment from the public because we expect Hollywood to behave that way.

Royalty particularly press recitence to focus on her pregnant belly as part of the press pact to grant royal women privacy in public must have been so frustrating to her. She couldn't show off her pregnant belly hollywood style. And my goodness she tried. She added belly prosthetics and led with it everywhere.

Her Archie Baby Shower ridiculous antics were the kind of attention she wanted for 9mths and never got in the UK.

The Palace was probably just as confused and since she refused to give them information or allow their doctors to certify her pregnancy, they did the best thing they could to protect themselves from her idiocy by laying the foundation that implies they knew something was afoot from the outset, but if it never bears fruit then no one is harmed.

Meanwhile Meghan with her new baby has announced it in the way her Hollywood self prefers - with a pregnancy photo shoot.

I predict that little Diana Sussex is going to arrive as close to Dead Diana's birthday as possible - 1st July and if Meghan can't hold her in, she'll be unveiled on that day. I predict a people magazine spread for her unveiling - Nativity tableau with Meghan at the centre of it and everyone else an afterthought.

Their PR is going to bombard us with pregnancy update until and immediately after Diana Sussex is born.

Diana Sussex is already more important than the unseen Archie.
@Opus said: 'The Plaintiff is a highly successful actress who has for twenty years been plying her trade in Hollywood and Pinewood and on the high sees. Has she not fragrance'

That's really wicked (in all senses!) but truly brilliant!!! Thank you, especially for the Mary Archer reference that leads us to her husband's case - it shouldn't happen to a don.

Welby's there too, from the `high see' of Canterbury, `... as the Actress said to the bishop'! Not that there was any archiepiscopal hanky-panky, of course, though Archie sees to have crept in now!

The time will come when she (Meghan, not Mary) is like the Punch cartoon `raddled lady' in Shepherd Market accosting an elderly, seedy, passer-by:

`OK, so it won't be a good time but at least it'll take the weight off your feet for a bit'

Nelo said…
@Acquataine, I don't disagree with your assessment. They timed the announcement to coincide with when they thought Diana unveiled Harry's pregnancy and all their mouthpieces have been running with it. Unfortunately for them, Richard Palmer just posted on his Twitter that Diana unveiled Harry's pregnancy on February 13 not Feb 14 as the Sussexes PR is pushing.

After the birth of her baby, what will be the next PR project? She loves attention, it's like a drug to her, so I wonder what the next attention seeking stunt will be. I foresee her merching the hell out of her pregnancy and the baby. So expect pap walks.

Also, what do you think about the BRFs announcement? I saw the statement saying "we wish them well" as indifference. The tone was cold and indifferent when I compared it to Eugene's pregnancy announcement.

Do you think this baby will relaunch their ailing brand? Do you see them getting lucrative endorsements from big companies?

I don't see them producing interesting Content that would generate income for spotify and Netflix. Whatever they would produce will be mediocre at best and won't generate billions of dollars.

Something that has already not changed with Rache's second "pregnancy" is that I find her OBGYN's directives questionable. Either that or Rache seems to take cues on pregnancy from movies and television way too much. Doctors advise against lying on your back when the belly reaches a certain size because it blocks blood flow to the baby. Her belly looks large but maybe she's very early on? Or is it willful negligence on the part of the Sussexes for a good picture? I don't know. The level of blurriness calls to a lack of artistic touch...

I hope Archie and his new sibling will be loved and cared for. I wouldn't trust their parents with a goldfish.

I'm still Team Pillow. I've went through the pregnancy drill with my best friend too recently not to be befuddled by Rache's "pregnancies." I expected a pregnancy announcement after the miscarriage article. I am guessing news of their podcasts resuming is coming soon too.

Hikari said…
Aquitaine,

It’s just occurred to me that in addition to stealing thunder from E.’s new baby, Narc-Ella has also ensured that William’s event, the statue-unveiling on Di’s birthday...not to mention all the other Royal events in June will now be overshadowed (in her mind anyway) by the impending ‘birth’. There was genuine excitement the last time around for H to become a father, but they botched that, and nobody gives a flying f#ck about Meg’s stomach anymore. Still, she is going to go for maximum media saturation around July 1st. Oh yes....Meg is so special, so magical, that "her daughter" Doriana Elizabeth Meghan will greet the world just in time to preempt Uncle William from the papers.

I am guessing that this announcement is to squeeze maximum terms out of The Queen and Chas for funding and the titles. Their non-attendance at TOC and The unveiling will be covered by Meg "giving birth", Not a non-invitation.

Since Meg & H Love to stage photo walks of themselves doing ersatz "Royal" .engagements in California, Perhaps she will find the richest hospital in the area, where all the celebs have their babies And will stage a photo up with Doriana. she refused to do it when she was in England as a royal, because that was the expected thing. No one does that here, not even Angelina Jolie, Which will mean Meg will want to do it. Then in November, when Doriana is a few months old, they can take her out to the cemetery and introduce her to some of the lake veterans.

"@Aquitaine - what do you make of
the claims that Diana was the daughter
of Jimmy Goldsmith?
Diana and Jemima do look alike."

I'd argue that Diana looks more like Zac than Jemima, but that's just semantics on my part!! Lol

Given the accepted bedhopping culture of the aristocracy, it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be true. There are many aristocratic families with a cuckoo in the nest.

However, if we look at the overall picture, Diana's mother had yet to produce the required heir for Spencer when Diana was born. Diana was expected to be a boy and when she was born, Spencer was disappointed she was another girl. The rule is to provide an heir, and if possible a spare, before you embark on the bed-hopping phase of your married life.

Within reason, the women try to ensure that the heir or potential heir in the case of Diana, is the biological child of their husband. As she already had daughters and we don't know if she had difficulty conceiving, it would have been extremely risky to start bed-hopping before she'd provided the heir.

As for why or how Diana might resemble the Goldsmith kids, the explanation is much more boring than the bed-hopping option.

Lady Annabel Goldsmith is a cousin of the Spencer-Churchill family on the maternal side of the family via Lady Frances Anne Spencer-Churchill, daughter of the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry. Lady Frances is Winston Churchill's grandmother.

Lady Annabel's father is the 8th Marquess of Londonderry.

The Earl Spencer family is the 'Spencer' part in the Spencer-Churchill family. Winston and Diana are cousins on the paternal side of the Spencer-Churchill family line while Annabel and Diana are cousins on the maternal side of the Spencer-Churchill family line.

I'd estimate there is perhaps 5 (?) generations between cousins on both sides, but close enough that the resemblance still shows. Not just in Diana and the Goldsmith kids, but also a brief window when George Cambridge looked like George Spencer-Churchill who is the heir to the Dukedom of Marlborough and at another time like Winston.

Diana's father looks so much like a Spencer- Churchill it's uncanny.

All sides of the various generational cousins, Spencer or Spencer-Churchill or Goldsmith have the same heavy-set jaw and big head. Funnily, only Harry doesn't have that Spencer-Churchill family characteristic.




Acquitaine said…
@Hikari: I'm amused that you think she'll name that kid Doriana Elizabeth.

I'm convinced she'll name her Diana without including Doria, and the 2nd name will incorporate Meghan herself in the same way that they picked Harrison just so they could pretend it was a direct link to Harry's son.

And if Charles promises not to cut them off, they'll pick a female version of Charles to suck up eg Caroline, Charlene, Carolynn.

Queen keeps taking away their toys and her officials keep blocking her so i do not think Elizabeth will be included.

Acquitaine said…
@Nelo: I noticed that cold sentence at the end of the BP response to the baby news. Made me wince.

Cold and dismissive and don't care. In super polite BP speak.

My mother always says that only English people can manage the feat of being politely, brutally and coldly dismissive in a seemingly benign statement and BP are masters at this game.

".... harking back a bit to an earlier comment - I had my doubts about joining the Common Market even before de Gaulle said `Non!' the first time - in 1963."

I was born too late for the original arguments, but i was old enough to hear the Thatcherite arguments for 'Non!' and the birth of a serious Brexit movement except it was called Euro-Sceptics and then the referendum party under Jimmy Goldsmith and Bill Cash.

My own opinion on the matter formed gradually, but was really sparked into being by what happened to Denmark and Ireland in 2000 and 2008 respectively and how the EU refused to respect their overwhelming ,Non!' Vote.

I think the EU shenanigans between 2016 and 2020 were an attempt to pull off another Denmark and Ireland.

Diana Rachelle? Or, Charlie (for a girl). Depends on how much money is on the line. I think it’s quite possible Diana junior is in play so Meghan can forevermore lay claim to Diana’s history. It could affect her ego too much, though, which is the kicker. It would make her Daughter overdrive famous and Meghan can’t have that.

What happens to Archewell? Does baby 2.0 get their own -well foundation? Inspired by Greek yadayadayada.

@Charade,

Agree with you about the pose. In fact the pic reminded me of the final shot of Nottingham Hill where an obviously pregnant Julia Roberts is lying on a bench in a garden with her head on Hugh Grant's lap as he bends over her reciting poetry. The only originality in the Desperate Duo shot was they were on the ground. Which as you point out is not advised after the first trimester. @Hikari said it best:'cult failure figure of our times.'
jessica said…
If it were my family member who just sued the press over privacy then, not a week later, splayed themselves out on the ground for front page news, I’d probably be cold and distant too.

It’s a terrible ‘pose’ to announce a pregnancy. Let’s get real. This woman is either pushing 40 or in her 40s. I’ve never seen anyone ‘pose’ like this to announce something so serious, friendly, exciting and happy. Her and Harry’s stare at each other and his dirty feet are the focus of the picture. Not Archie, not the family, nothing that signals ‘baby’.

As for content and merching. She will try real hard, but as Covid loosens up and people get back to real in-person life and celebs get back to their gigs and PR teams and movies ramp up. Megs is going to be pushing a Pram in front of Hot Robs house moderately overweight, and tending to a newborn for a few months desperate to lose the weight and keep Harry. Harry is going to be busy working on their ‘projects’ solo and this is going to make her lose her mind again. Just as with Archie, she was losing control.

I don’t see how this second baby will be sellable. If she sells pics of this one, and there’s no Archie. Why? It will just get worse.

@JennS,

Your continued embellished adventures of Snarchie the Vinyl Boy at 9:21 a.m. above, made me laugh so hard my ribs ache. Yet you managed to write it gorgeously too. I was quickly enraptured by his tragic aquatic journey and his unfortunate encounters with the ravenous sea creatures. I shared your work with two friends and they are screaming, MORE. They say if you decide to pen the tale of a plastic doll boy, they will buy it. One also suggested manga, and the other pointed out that Hot Rob has the connections and snarky gamesmanship to turn your script or book into a modern day “E.T.” With this lost Vinyl Boy longing to go home to Buckingham Palace and his people. They see MaCauley Culkin as the perfect film savior of V.B. With Hot Rob as his harried single dad, and Brie Larsen as his wise-cracking helpful little sister. The Halloween scene is Meghan in her fright wig and giant summer parka and bedding dress, and a zombie unwashed barefoot Harry, staggering around Montecito with handheld credit card readers to raise money to search for Archie/Snarchie, along with Yoga Doria pushing her plastic vintage tot car filled with SparkleWeed and Harry’s shoes. Get busy! You can totally do this.

Acquitaine,

Little Doriana Elizabeth Meghan was a joke, of course. Like Magatha, I was riffing on “Gloriana” and Meg’s gargantuan sense of self-importance. She will claim to give birth to a daughter, and will name her Diana Meghan. I think that will be it—two names is American custom. She is determined to have her massive pay out Shiloh Jolie Pitt style tabloid photo array.

How’s this for Meg’s devious mind: What if somehow M had gotten wind that Catherine is expecting again, and the flurry of magazine speculation about Cambridge family plans followed by this photobomb were to upstage her? Perhaps Kate also suffered a miscarriage last year that made its way into the NYT disguised as an essay which frames miscarriage as a scene from Steel Magnolias rather than personal experience. It is very possible the Sussexes employ a mole at KP. Given how sick Catherine gets in the first trimester, It would be nearly impossible to hide the signs from all of her household staff. I do not underestimate the level of hatred and narcissistic rage Smeg feels toward the Cambridges. I predict that she will continue to do everything she can to needle them And undermine their peace of mind and eventual reign from afar. She is quite simply going to torment them as long as she lives. They are her main target, but any pain and just quiet she can cause to other members of the family while she’s at it, like E or Camilla, she will.

@Hikari: I hope the rumors that the Cambridges are trying for a fourth child are true. It would be deviously fabulous if William and Kate announce a fourth pregnancy on the day the second Sussex baby arrives later this year with a gentle reminder in the announcement that one more Cambridge child will be in line for the throne in front of Harry and his progeny.

I also hope this child is a second boy, although he would be a major disappointment to Meghan. There would be no mini-Meghan for her to try to cultivate for merching and future ageing mother with daughter bikini pictures a la the ever-thirsty Christie Brinkley and her daughter Sailor.

By the way, what the fresh hell is going on with her hair in that photo?

Ah.......I have stopped watching Netflix, I find the repetitiveness of their woke-offerings boring trite. I am rewatching Frasier. The nostalgia, innocence, brilliant humour and unapologetic political incorrectness is something I have grown to miss.
Everything they churn out today is bad, bland and political. Hollywood is truly finished.

Opus 'older men are naturally evil'............you forgot to insert 'white', so no wokeness medal for you! NEXT!


Nobody is commenting on the elephant under the tree: where's Archie?
Surely older children are not forgotten when somebody in the public eye makes a pregnancy announcement. How will this lovely little family be complete if only MM and Suddenly-Hairy Harry are in this pictures, immortalised forever?
Why isn't Archie with them, gently patting his mother's belly, kissing it, and squealing excitedly while trying to find ladybirds in the grass?

These two are so weird. Harry's foot and her enormous thigh take prominently centre stage in this photograph, but their eldest child was supposedly told to stay with nanny so mom and dad could have their Herb Ritts moment to announce the new child?
And don't get me started on her hair and her unironed.....she just always looks so cheap.

@Acquataine,

One New Year’s Eve, I sat in a little packed Bavarian bar with local friends and four friends from London and Annecy. We sipped cocktails, chatted, and watched men and women from the city we were in argue seriously about cultural superiority with three men from Cologne, some Italians, and two couples from Spain. I knew then that the EU could not work in the long run. A moment later, a woman and a man In party clothes under their heavy open coats rushed into the bar waving the first Euros over their heads in excitement, telling people which ATM they had just visited, go go and get your euros, be first. No one was interested. Not one person followed them out. I gave the EU 20 to 30 years.

oh and 1 more thing:

I do not believe for 1 second that she was ever pregnant with Archie. I have been pregnant, that's why I don't believe it.
She very well could be pregnant now though. It probably took them IVF since their arrival to make this happen. Also even before getting pregnant with IVF, a lot of women tend to gain weight due to steroid treatments, hence her thunder thighs.

But if the really IS pregnant this time, I am sure we will have ample proof of it thanks to Netflix and such. No way will she cover herself in dignified and mysterious silence and privacy, nooooooooo. There will be video footage, and this video footage will then be used against anyone claiming fraud in the first 'pregnancy'.

Superfly,

I’m glad everyone agrees that leaving Archie out is a major family faux pax. Let’s have a photo to announce our growing family...without said family.

What happens with a third child? Splaying on a beach at sunset, gently gazing into each other’s eyes while dolphins jump behind them? This time in a micro bikini and surf shorts? She will have switched from Julia Roberts to Pam Anderson to take tips on regaining her youth at that point, and conveniently Harry has Baywatch on repeat claiming he’s just attempting to learn to surf. Still, no children present. It gets more absurd the more children you add. Trust me. Lol!

Nelo said: Also, what do you think about the BRFs announcement? I saw the statement saying "we wish them well" as indifference. The tone was cold and indifferent when I compared it to Eugene's pregnancy announcement.


I imagine the tone would be much the same as "We wish that a volcano would spontaneously form and erupt directly under their house while they are sleeping, except that we would deplore the loss of the innocents like the poor dogs and nearby neighbors."

Sandie said…
That is why she got the trial delayed ... IVF pregnancy ... miscarriage/failed implantation ... try again ... chances of another miscarriage very high ... delay trial until after birth.

I think Photoshop was used to fill in Harry's monk-like bald patch. You can stil make out where the bald patch is (and it is huge). Or has he had hair implantation done?

What's with her messy, kind-of cornrows?

She has dropped the glamorous/professional/Hollywood image and now seems to be going for Californians hippy in a designer dress. Harry seems happier with this new image!

The escape door from the marriage has been closed for Harry. My previously favourite tarot reader got it very wrong, about the marriage lasting and her pregnancy (unless she is using a surrogate and is pretending to be pregnant).

She looks at least 5 months along, probably 6, which would fit in with the timing of delaying the trial. If she was pregnant with Archie, we know she puts on a lot of weight in the last few months of pregnancy. It is going to be a major effort to lose it this time.

Unless breasts have major support from a bra, they kind of flatten out when you lie down by Meghan's age. Does being 5/6 months' change this? Can women who have been pregnant help out here?

Does anyone have a link to the announcement from BP? I am sure they are all rolling their eyes at the world being subjected to the grand opera, top-secret mission of another pregnancy and birth from Meghan and Harry.

I agree that a royal-approved medical team should have signed off on the birth of Archie and should sign off for the birth of this child for them to be officially in the line of succession, but the Harkles do not respect or care for anything or anyone but themselves.
Superfly said…
Jessica - nah....for the third child they will be pictured in their white sheeted bed, MM wearing her longest, shiniest wig, and Harry too, will wear his. They will sit John Lennon and Yoko Ono style, propped up by white starched pillows, in front of handmade posters saying 'world peace' and 'one world' and 'gender neutral fluid progressiveness' and 'metrosexual conformist matriarchal equity' and 'shining a light on anti racist counter racial racism fighting racists' and such.
In between photo sessions, they will ask their maid to re-fluff their pillows, just like John and Yoko (please google "John and Yoko maid pillows !!!) and then continue in their tireless activism

I wouldn't know about the breasts of an advanced maternal age mother with the geriatric pregnancy (oooh, I DID get it all in there!) as I had non-geriatric pregnancies.

Seriously, I was wondering if she had a major push up bra with padding for that photo.
AnT said…
@Superfly,
I was all excited that her $12 costume wig stitch lines were showing as barefoot zoned out Harry played with her head, but someone here said the odd scalp channels are corn rows. I enlarged the photo. Still not sure what I think because her PR photos usually = giant prefab sloppy wigs. But yes, her third magical pregnancy with definitely include a better shinier longer moonbeam wig!

Also, yup! yesterday Feb 14 at 11:19 I too wondered about missing Archie not being in the photo! Whaaaat? Wit that press release headline, too? What a sloppy miss. Too bad he wasn’t available. Many others here have been conversing humorously about his absence too. (Scroll backwards to find JennS’s hilarious treatment of why the oat-milky tot is missing.) Poor little oversized Archie child actor doesn’t stand a merching chance now that little Diana Oprah Shonda or little Bridgerton Spielberg Rhymes, or both, is/are residing in someone’s easybake womb somewhere. (Lying on back, tiny boobs with no pancaking sides, fast food arms and thighs do not equal a pregnancy to me even if the bump is secured like a little Himalyan salt lamp with electric tape.)

I agree with you on Frasier reruns. Happened to watch a few again about two years ago and they are legend. Rumor is they may regather the cast for a continuing series. They will need the same superb writers, though.

AnT,

Is that what happened with David Foster? Totally unsurprised! I can’t imagine Meghan holding and significant conversation for an entire dinner. What would she talk about anyway? How hard done she was by the RF? These are real celebs, they know how the PR game works. He probably entertained a bit of her plight, then back home with Katherine demand she doesn’t have Meghan around again. Whack. Job.

It’s rather interesting this pregnancy confirms that Meghan WAS in fact trying to steal press thunder from Katherine McPhee over her pregnancy!!! That weird street photo op on the way to the restaurant? Released as news the next day! Meghan with her large coat!

We all suspected Katherine and David (who have all the clout, and all the means in Hollywood) would ditch Meghan pronto. If it was distasteful in our eyes at the time, imagine what they really thought! Trading on the one famous couple that would meet with them, generously, out of good will. He also went through the lengths to get them set up in the Canadian home.

Glad to see there are still people with common sense when it comes to Meghan!

"@Acquitaine I wanted to ask your thoughts about Rache revealing her pregnancy to guests at Princess Eugenie's wedding. Marlene Koening's recent tweet about it made me cringe. How long would it have been acceptable for the Sussexes to have waited with baby news?

https://mobile.twitter.com/royalmusing/status/1361146500886192130"

Marlene never changes her position even if confronted with facts that void her own.

FF confirmed the wedding story so i don't understand why Marlene refuses to accept it. FF was written to flatter not to denigrate. Meghan thought it would do for her image and popularity what Morton's book did for Diana.

Personally i think you should not announce your own pregnancy at a person's wedding unless you are so far along it's impossible to hide aka you've popped.

Given she was mostly flat-stomached during the subsequent AUS/NZ tour, this was definitely an announcement that could have waited a few weeks and months. She started hinting at that pregnancy before Eugenie's wedding.

They had an engagement a few days prior at which she wore a dress that led to alot of speculation then wore a pregnancy coat at the wedding so that almost everyone immediately focused on her.

Swampwoman, you had me rolling! Perfectly appropriate and accurate description of Meghan’s medical and physical antics. 👏 I shall, too, use that verbiage when referring to our Heaven Saint Child Baring Queen of Montecito, Countess of Los Angeles, Duchess of Californication.
SwampWoman said…
Hikari said: How’s this for Meg’s devious mind: What if somehow M had gotten wind that Catherine is expecting again, and the flurry of magazine speculation about Cambridge family plans followed by this photobomb were to upstage her? Perhaps Kate also suffered a miscarriage last year that made its way into the NYT disguised as an essay which frames miscarriage as a scene from Steel Magnolias rather than personal experience. It is very possible the Sussexes employ a mole at KP. Given how sick Catherine gets in the first trimester, It would be nearly impossible to hide the signs from all of her household staff. I do not underestimate the level of hatred and narcissistic rage Smeg feels toward the Cambridges. I predict that she will continue to do everything she can to needle them And undermine their peace of mind and eventual reign from afar. She is quite simply going to torment them as long as she lives. They are her main target, but any pain and just quiet she can cause to other members of the family while she’s at it, like E or Camilla, she will.

Oh, my, if the CAMBRIDGES suffered a miscarriage and she stole that for HER pity party, I would expect to see the white hot glow of their anger from here. The UK wouldn't need any artificial lighting at all to brighten the evening hours. I expect that nearby houses would spontaneously combust. I haven't heard anything about nearby houses bursting into flames, but I remain open to the possibility. It could have happened and I wasn't paying attention to a mysterious outbreak of fires of unknown origin near Anmer Hall.

I don't see the point of slyly attacking other people in order to make herself look better. She doesn't look better. It exposes her as a nasty witch.

What I think is funny as that the harder Meghan backhandedly denigrates The Duchesses of Cambridge and Cornwall, the more popular they become.

She really is clueless about normal humans.

Today I would like to play the part of Genuine Pregnancy Story Disrupter if I may.

1. We have noticed all the facial tweaks, and new tweaks, and newer tweaks the past eight months. We should believe in pandemic lockdown dangerous post-miscarriage (ie, about four weeks earlier?) cosmetic surgery has been taking place on Warby’s Favoritist Claimant, and the New Pork Times leading miscarriage expert?

2. It has been suggested in many forums that she had hobbies to keep her weight down (see child and teen Rachel) yachting and acting, but that she had trouble securing the hobbies in the UK, so packed on pounds until she was able to flee to Serena’s tennis championship in NYC to allegedly party, restock, and flash her Coachella at Mr Serena in the stands. So I don’t buy her roundly-squareness at the press Reveal of Vinyl Boy as proof of past pregnancy, especially since she was photographed going out with MA with a flat stomach at her very late “baby shower” in NYC.

3. Last time: Loose swinging seven month jelly bump. Six month bump at wedding, no bump upon landing in Australia. Ten month bump in Moracco. No bump at baby shower. Purple dress bump slides to knees. Deflating bump in black dress. Square bump in painfully tight summer dress at wintertime elderly home visit. Cream color ensemble in which the bump dramatically changed sizes in a single visit. No edema ever in limbs. Six months / no months / five months / ten months / no months. Zika. Kid doesn’t know her.

4. Liars gonna lie.

5. Lying on back. No boobs.

6. A pointy “5 or 6 month” anthill bump is shown to us — meaning she got pregnant instantly after devastating heartbreaking July miscarriage, yet risked all again and kept having cosmetic surgery and risked all to run to Gov Newsom to meet to try to get Kamala Harris’ old job.

@jessica,

I read the tidbit somewhere about Foster and McPhee asking Harry to see Archie for the fifth time and getting yet another excuse, and then for David Foster the penny dropped that there was no Archie with the Harkles. He made quiet enquiries, and dropped them flat.

So I asked two people I know in the management and law sides of the industry in LA. They heard similar versions, with the upshot being that whatever had happened, the friendship was now cold as ice on Foster’s side. He is done with them.

One of my friends messaged last night that the duchess has become the Hilaria of Montecito. In other words, a no-career annoying fantasist.

All sides of the various generational cousins, Spencer or Spencer-Churchill or Goldsmith have the same heavy-set jaw and big head. Funnily, only Harry doesn't have that Spencer-Churchill family characteristic.

I've always wondered how a gene pool so small as the British aristocracy has affected the BRF historically. Especially the modern version re: Harry...

I would be interested in your take on the subject. Thanks

New post: "The Sussexes are expecting their second child."
Sandie said…
IVF and timelines:

The chances of successful pregnancy and birth are higher for the second round of treatment. General rule is to have one menstrual cycle before trying second time.

Her first treatment/implantation ended in miscarriage in early to mid-July. She has round two done late August to mid-September. October she gets the trial delayed for confidential reasons, so second pregnancy had been confirmed. She lies low until she gets her SJ (when she did that Zoom call, she had got the SJ from Warby and had her victory speech ready for Scobie - just waitng for Warby to release SJ to public). She is now at least 5 months, and baby due in late June. She now does not have to hide the pregnancy and pretend to be on bed rest as the trial is done. (But not quite - ANL/MOS may appeal, there is still the hearing about ownership of copyright, and Warby has not given his decision on SJ on the matter of data protection).

I am as disappointed as everyone about the SJ, but it was a solid judgment in terms of the law. Whether Warby could have set precedent by ruling different is for experts to decide (but no one in the press is doing that).

The law has 3 legs (4 in my country as we have a Constitution): legislation, precedence and common law. Legislation is never absolute and never covers all scenarios for all time, so judges interpret the law and thus set precedence. In my opinion, the copyright law in the UK ignores/dismisses the rights of the recipient, and this is wrong. Thomas was not the one suing so he could not challenge Meghan's rights according to copyright vs his rights of privacy (the People article). The law favours the wealthy and elite, and this is wrong.
NeutralObserver said…
Who knows? Maybe she really managed to get herself pregnant this time. I said in a post some time ago, that Megs showed signs of desperately trying to get pregnant by IVF post Archie. I thought that might be why her weight ballooned up so much after the 'birth,' hormone shots?, also, the famous pitstains might have been a result of rampant hormones. Her 'miscarriage' could have been a failed IVF procedure, as Jdubyah & I speculated. If the 'of the body' rule affects what happens in terms of titles & inheritance, it makes sense that Megs would want to secure her child's (& her own)future in whatever way she could, even if it means going through the rigors of pregnancy herself. The birth has been reported as probably happening 'in early summer' which makes much more sense than September, if there is anything real in that al fresco photo. However, since it's the Harkles this 'pregnancy' could be as bogus as I think the first one was. I do hope they'll keep this kid to themselves & won't try to build pent up interest in this sprog. The little guy they've been putting out there as 'Archie' isn't that appealing, & I doubt the second try will improve things. Early in the Harkle engagement, I had hopes for some beautiful mixed race royal children, like the Viscount Weymouth's children (who were born via surrogate). That probably won't happen with Hegs & Megs, so hope she doesn't pap this one ad nauseam. I agree with Nelo, that the apparent BP response seems cold & indifferent. Others here are much more sophisticated than I am about photo manipulation & pr subterfuge, so I'm prepared to entertain alternative narratives, but like many of us, I'm just getting weary of the unending antics of Megs & Handbag. So her lawsuit is over, so she's pregnant, like billions of other women have been. Is it an interesting Netflix story? Podcast? Give me a break! We're all trying to fight boredom as it is. The only thing that will make them interesting is the equivalent of a pr trainwreck of exposure. THAT'S what we all want to see.

Re merching the baby(s): They would be subject to California minor labor laws. They would have to file a tax return for state and Federal taxes for the child. Whether California law would allow Mumsy and Daddy to use the minor child's earnings to support themselves, I couldn't say.

We know that the Queen of Montecito, Beggar for the Senate Seat, and Advanced Maternal Aged Mother in Waiting has a serious problem with her self image/looks as shown by her multiple plastic surgeries. What if the child is judged to be insufficiently attractive to be merchantable by her?
Christine said…
Good Morning,

Welllllll. I see over the weekend the wonderful news was announced. Right on the heels of that weird story about how W&K want another baby and in the complete middle of Eugenie's baby story. I also heard again Eugenie is going to 'raise her baby at Frogmore'. As I believe Meghan doesn't use surrogate, I hope she has a very safe and healthy pregnance. On the converse, I pray that she doesn't irritate the piss out of the world on her way to delivering the Golden Child #2.

Meghan sure likes to mess with and bother Eugenie. There's no doubt she'd mess with Catherine a lot more but one of the only people she fears is William, so she can only get so far. Eugenie and Jack are way too nice and they really need to wise up. How much more will Eugenie allow of this? I think I would literally call Meghan on the phone and tell her to f'ing knock it off. Knowing Meghan she'd give some breezy laugh, hang up and then head to her writing station and fire off some other horrible story about Eugenie to the press. My point is.......she couldn't have waiting for Eugenie to announce her son's name, bask in a little glow for the baby and keep her trap shut for a week or so? Guess not when your a Mega Narc.

The picture too was sooo dumb and unnecessary. I'm surprised Harry wasn't on his knees kissing and licking her belly in her earth mother gauze gown and braids.

Bah, I'm grumpy because it's like -30 here. :)

Some of the folks up above in the thread were talking about watching Frazier reruns and how Hollywood has lost its mojo. Hollywood is hard selling products that we aren't interested in buying. I meant to comment that I had talked to the woman that is my BFF since elementary school this past week, and she mentioned that her husband was watching old reruns. I told her that MY husband was watching old reruns. We then started talking about the state of television, how incredibly stupid the programmers must think we are, and how both of us watch mainly how-to videos; she's a talented artist; I'm just a hack that likes to play with the pretty colors. (She does fine art, I do faux finishes for fun.) Neither of us have watched any of the networks or movies for a very long time.

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

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

A Quiet Interlude

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

Christmas is Coming

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