Let's continue the conversation about the Sussexes...
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.

The fingers on her left hand are bent, but not making contact with him. The right hand is holding a pair of sunglasses. He would have to be on her hip for her to carry him with one arm.
Also, look at the black area under her stomach and next to his right foot. Quite a large space to have no detail whatsoever.

Yes I've just returned from it! Sigh!!!
So she must be angry at all the current negative feedback on the pair of them and wants some positive press. They are sending a reminder to the RF that they have either a child or are pretending to have one. And of course, it doesn't hurt to try to outshine the Cambridges.
My first thought was WHY IS ARCHIE WEARING A HAT? Why is she covering his hair?
How cold is it in Montecito right now? Certainly the current weather there doesn't warrant a hat!!!
Notice how the Page 6 article is rather snarky?🤣
I think the photo is staged but genuine. It's not difficult to carry a toddler when you're resting him on your moonbump!
She's all smug again! UGH!
I haven't looked at them that closely yet but wouldn't doubt it. However would backgrid release photoshopped pics? How does that even work? I suppose she did it all herself - she's holding two different baby bags.
The woman is clueless!
Hiding his hair to disguise the colour & distinct hairline from the beach photo where it was so obvious?
On that note - I'm off to my bed.
Have fun discussing. Will catch up tomorrow. :)
I blew it up a lot and there are other anomalies. The dark area has a straight line that divides the leafy detail with no detail for one.
Remember the picture of the child Harry was holding that looked like a girl? This child looks like that child, but doesn't look like the other pictures of Archie.
http://dianalegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/archie-1255645.jpg
I've looked at the photo and like Miggy, I don't think it's photoshopped. If you tap on the photo where both M & Archie are shown in full, you can enlarge it. I do think A looks quite big/tall for a 2 year old. The witch looks like she's ready to pop. The bump is very round but looks more realistic than first time round. And she's merching her coat...
Yes, I did enlarge it and that's when I saw things that didn't match up. Aside from that, he/she doesn't even look like the same child from other photos. It's beyond ridiculous the games that are being played.
Exactly. The picture shows a very unnatural, if not physically impossible way to carry a large child.
@JennS,
Hi -- popping in after glancing at last couple of comments. Have been buried with work and just dipping in.
I have two things, one from Monday, I keep wanting to write something about here at length, but I am not getting to it, so I will just dump my tidbits here and circle back later:
1. My client who is my connected source told me Monday there have been "No telephone calls. No zoom meetings, none with an Archie child. No meetings. Absolute Antarctica, they're not fools. Anything else is rubbish. Out goes he." My client would I think only venture this comment after conversations. He was vicious about Harry showing up for the funeral, and is a staunch monarchist.
2. Visual gold: Has anyone taken a look at this before? Look through the photos....incl color versions of the public black and white images of Megs and Archie, etc. Old images. Archie image? See what you think.

................
**@AnT
Well now - thanks for the yummy tea!🤣
That is my feeling - Antarctica - nothing happened with Harry and the family while he was there and certainly no zoom calls with Archie. I'm assuming when they exited from the funeral service they walked back to wherever the Queen's living quarters are within the Windsor Castle grounds. I think Harry may have spent time with them at that point but I really doubt they discussed anything regarding the Harkles immediately following the burial of Prince Philip.
What I find strange is all the press pushing the reconciliation. It seems apparent that there were NO leaks from the usual palace sources regarding the RF and Harry's relationship while he was in the UK. There was info released about other issues and certainly about funeral details but not much if anything about the brothers or Harry's relationship w/ the family.
So why did the press feel they had to push the reconciliation story? I don't think they were all - every one of the tabloids and the newspapers trying to service the Harkles' narrative. The Times and the Telegraph were also pushing the happy brothers spin.
Could it be that the press believes this is what the public wants to see?
I just hope that it is not what the RF wanted to see.
Thanks also for that pinterest link. I found some interesting bits on there already! Will write later...
Birthday photos came out? I can’t believe it’s just coincidence!
So now she’s selling ‘Archie’s’ likeness. Kids in Cali are supposed to be, by law, blurred out. This means she either gave permission to publish this photo of ‘Archie’ or it is a child actor.
Also, interesting she needs Archie’s likeness on display now all of the sudden. Someone is worried about the world coming out of lockdown and lacking attention....
@Nope
I have to go for now but will check the pics later. I've saved them so I can blow them up - LOL!
Can you explain why Archie’s face is not blurred out?
Child care? No nanny?
This makes zero sense.
She must have constant
faceache from that permanent smirk.
https://www.noaa.gov/stories/5-striking-facts-versus-myths-about-lightning-you-should-know
Agree. But George had a backpack when he was photographed starting "school" at age 2 1/2. So naturally, being more advanced, Archie has one now :-)
Happy St George’s Day
Let’s slay that dragon 🏴

Scroll down for photos of Pregnant wife of H with Archie.
https://twitter.com/hrrysgreysuit
Looks like she's carrying a water buffalo in utero, and way too low at that unless she's delivering in the next couple weeks. Silly woman, you carry a kid on your hip, not your supposedly gravid belly. How is it that she hasn't learned how to carry a child yet? No wonder she didn't fly to England (well, besides being on everybody's sh*t list): She would have to take that belly thing through TSA.
Do you really think they'd shell out money for an oridnary school? Also, CA has been in lock down for a year. I highly doubt a preschool is open. If it is, it just reopened.
but you do you
Also, will she sue now that these pictures are out there?
Several pap shots in the last 48 hours. Somebody needs money. And this picture only appeared in pages. Louis is all over my news feeds.
Any one know what the wait list is for a montesorri school? The good ones can be over two years wait......so ......hmmmmmm
“Can you explain why Archie’s face is not blurred out?”
It is not illegal here in California to publish photos of children. It is here to pap kids without permission if they use harassment to do so. The act of taking the picture using harassment is illegal NOT the publishing of it. This was how the state got around First Amendment arguments.
https://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2013/09/california-law-targets-photographing-celebrities-kids-173719
“The bill specifies that harassment, defined as conduct that "seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes the child or ward," can occur "during the course of any actual or attempted recording of the child’s or ward’s image or voice, or both, without the express consent of the parent or legal guardian."”
So, M probably set this up to merch the coat. And lunch bag. And backpack. And shoes. If the photographer didn’t harass, no law was broken.
Not sure what is worse, her putting herself up against a 3 year old or losing to him
Posting via your UK The Sun link. This Sun article looks dramatic but accurate to me. They expose People Mag as an H/M collaborator. Nice!

THRONE IT ALL AWAY Prince Harry talks with senior royals put on hold because of constant leaks “from the Sussex side”
EXCLUSIVE
Tom Wells
22 Apr 2021, 21:00Updated: 22 Apr 2021, 23:05
CRUNCH talks between Prince Harry and senior royals have been put on hold because of constant leaks “from the Sussex side”, The Sun can reveal.
No “meaningful conversations” have taken place since the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral last week.
And sources say aides still harbour deep misgivings about any future clear-the-air discussions with Harry.
They point to a flurry of articles in the US within hours of his return to California.
And they have become increasingly alarmed at the speed at which details of private family exchanges have emerged.
On Wednesday, US magazine People carried intimate details of a private phone call between Meghan, one-year-old son Archie and the Queen ahead of Prince Philip’s funeral.
People has previously been seen as a favoured outlet for the Sussexes. In February 2019, five of Meghan’s closest friends briefed it in depth about her life while claiming she had suffered “global bullying”.
Meghan has always insisted she had no knowledge of her friends’ decision to speak on her behalf.
Meanwhile Omid Scobie — who co-wrote Harry and Meghan’s gushing biography, Finding Freedom — also spoke out soon after Harry’s return to the US.
He said Meghan had spoken twice to the Queen.
Quoting “sources” close to Harry, Scobie said: “Saturday broke the ice for future conversations but outstanding issues have not been addressed at any great length.
“The family simply put their issues to one side to focus on what mattered.”
Harry, 36, and William, 38, were pictured talking with William’s wife Kate, 39, after the funeral.
But yesterday it emerged no progress had been made between the brothers.
He spent five days in quarantine before Saturday’s funeral, but flew back to LA on Tuesday, missing his gran’s 95th birthday 24 hours later.
Harry is likely to return to the UK for the unveiling of a statue of his mother, Princess Diana, on July 1. (I give this only a 50-50 chance)
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14736526/prince-harry-peace-william-leaking-meghan-markle/
I was just comment the same about Archie being so advanced for his age so of course he's already at preschool 😜
The DM article and pictures of Prince Louis says they were taken on his first day of nursery. So of course MM has to show Archie also going to nursery/preschool.
Has anyone seen the Archie pics on any other news site? Its not in the DM. Just the large banner headline of Prince Louis there. Lol
With regard to publishing pics of children it is my understanding that the faces only need to be blurred if they haven't already been seen in the public domain.
It could be anywhere, but since I’m doing me, my guess is an exclusive preschool, likely a Montessori one.
@Jessica
“Can you explain why Archie’s face is not blurred out?”
It is not illegal here in California to publish photos of children.
They may be scroungers but the Paps agencies look very reasonable to me. If actors, actresses, celebs want blurring of their children's faces then they get this. If they don't mind it, then the children's faces come unblurred.
Actress Jennifer Garner is so nice to the Paps, and they like-respect her and her non-blurred children. Garner knows that Paps have to earn a living and she allows them to. Because of this they will not select embarrassing photos of her for publication.
Perhaps the DM isn’t going near this photo of a child as they cannot verify that it is actually Archie. She sued Splash in Canada. Kind of created her own future photo distribution issue with that one, didn’t she? She’s proven to be a walking liability to press outlets.
If you haven't already please look further down this article to Scobie's picture. I don't know if it has been doctored but he ACTUALLY looks to be made of plastic!
Fifth picture down. I hate it when guys are better than me at applying their makeup ;)
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14736526/prince-harry-peace-william-leaking-meghan-markle/
and PH is out having lunch with a Wallis Annenberg, big philanthropist, trying to hoover up some money to pay his bills the same day !
The pap gets an anonymous phone call from someone saying they've spotted Meghan & Archie, the pap goes and shoots his shot, this shot ends up on Page Six, wait a few weeks til the shot can make the rounds... then Markle sues. With all profits of the lawsuit going to Archewell of course ;)
So H could not stay one more day for his grandmother's birthday. What a disgrace. But perhaps he was not invited. Or once Charles bolted, H knew he had no one to wheedle more cash out of. The Prodigal son, he bungled his much heralded return home.
Perhaps H wants a do over, will return for Diana's statue. I would tell him, don't bother, keep feeding your chickens.
___
We Americans are already disgusted with the likes of M. H is just as bad. Doesn't matter that he is royalty. In fact, it matters more. He has sold his grandfather and grandmother down the river, and I think (hope) enough of us sill recognize this.
The shoes are hideous.
Archie is not wearing his backpack in an ergonomic way at all, and if it's too full to fit his lunch kit in that's pretty shitty. But we've all see how his mother carried "him" in that baby carrier so...
(of course the backpack is empty and light, she's obvs got a deal to merch the backpack and lunch kit separately. just saying.)
“Ok so we can conclude here that Meghan is allowing ‘Archie’s photo to be used and sold in the public domain. Hmm, for all this privacy and security talk- that’s pretty strange and desperate behavior to me!”
You’re totally right. We’ve seen time and time again since they “found freedom” that they have no desire for privacy. They want the exact opposite. They wanted to protect Archie’s privacy- until they could merch that cute little solar system lunch bag.
She gave us a double whammy today. She used Archie to merch (that lunch bag would have fit inside the backpack) AND she tried to one up Boss Baby. It’s pretty pathetic when you feel like you have to compete with a three-year-old.
Prince Harry lunches with LA power player on Queen Elizabeth’s birthday

Page 6 is being snarky with these 2 articles, both this one and the archie story.
Here they emphasize how H has this lunch meeting on his Grandmother's birthday.
So did Harry have this meeting set up all along and plan to return to California in time for it?
Archie is not wearing his backpack in an ergonomic way at all, and if it's too full to fit his lunch kit in that's pretty shitty. But we've all see how his mother carried "him" in that baby carrier so...

WHY WHY WHY is this child being so hidden.
EITHER:
1) He wasn't born in the first place
2) He was born of her but kept hidden for whatever reasons
I don't want to believe either of these things.
BUT WHY THE H*LL DOES SHE KEEP IT ALL SO SECRET.

Harry doesn't like the hustle it takes to earn the money his wanna-be wife (and him, born to the manor bred). No, he doesn't like it at all. And I can't help but think the reporters are getting a good deal of glee from the schadenfreude.
Actually, that's not entirely true.
Him and his million$.
What does that say about a person?
@Lt Uhura
It's funny you should use the word GLEE. That's the word the reporter used to describe MM!
I read on LSA that the woman Harry is meeting is the type you seek when you want to monetize charity work.

Well, that is certainly something I haven't heard about yet!
We need to hear ALL sides ...

**@Jessica
And remember the photo of MM and "Archie" at her friend SilverTree's house that MM had removed from the world wide web!! LOL!!
I've been meaning to say that I saw that Silver Tree photo of Archie mentioned in a Valentine Low article and assumed that gave it some authenticity.
It certainly is weird that no one else is running these current pics.
**@AnT
LOL love your hieroglyphic emojis story!🤣
**@Lt Uhura
Thanks for the backup!😍
The funny thing is that the info is under an article "Meghan takes Archie to school in LA". Really? she is going to drive to LA and back every time Archie goes to school? That's a pretty big carbon footprint. 1 hour drive with security each way?
Did you see her feet in those weird "shoes"?
They look about 5 miles long...
And why would she be out walking in those things while pregnant and carrying a toddler? They don't look very safe for someone who is HEAVILY pregnant to wear.
Re: Page 6 photo: Megs seems to know her fans are most likely pre-pubescent & ill-equipped to recognize authentic pregnancy & motherhood.
At my tallest I was about 5'5". My youngest was born when I was 37, 2 years younger than Megs is now. My precious baby weighed 9lb. 13 oz, (yes, big babies run in my family). My baby bump was no where near the size of Megs' apparent inflatable in the photo in the Page 6 article. There is no way I could have carted around a large toddler the size of the 'Archie' in the photo. My back was killing me just carrying the baby in my tum! I was fairly athletic, I swam, played tennis, & jogged, not a delicate wimp. The photo of Megs & Archie doesn't look authentic to me. As someone noted, she seems to be smirking under the mask. Megs is amazingly audacious & contemptuous of the public's intelligence.
Thanks for the laugh!!
Another item from Page Six:
Prince Harry was spotted Wednesday dining at a Hollywood power spot with the queen of Los Angeles philanthropy, Wallis Annenberg — as his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, celebrated her 95th birthday, sources exclusively told Page Six.
Spies said Harry and Annenberg had lunch at super-exclusive Hollywood club San Vicente Bungalows.
Wallis, 81, heads her family’s multibillion-dollar Annenberg Foundation. Her family’s namesake Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts is where Vanity Fair traditionally holds its glitzy Oscars party. She is also on the boards of USC, the LA County Museum of Art, and LA’s Museum of Contemporary Art.

They do not look comfortable or safe for *anybody* to wear, pregnant or not. Why not wear some of those recycled ocean plastic Adidas or Nikes in support of the "green" agenda? Oh, my bad, the only green she's interested in is the color of cash.
Both HG Tutor who is doing an analysis of Harry’s wife as an alleged narcissist, and Celt have begun referring to MM exclusively as “Harry’s wife.” It looks like not saying her name is catching on.
Anyone have any commentary on child size vs supposed child age? I am baby-ignorant myself so I would love informed opinion.
A Hollywood screenwriter could not make this up. That would be deemed way too cheesy. Back in Windsor, Harry’s Gran marks another birthday with only her staff and wonders why she cannot escape the Wallises of the world. How many could there be? This makes two within degrees of separation of the Queen. I wonder if the current Wallis who was H’s meal companion was named for the Duchess of Windsor. That is akin to naming your American baby boy “Benedict”. Some names which live in infamy should never be inflicted upon any innocent children… It’s like Adolf.
For any British Nutties, Benedict is still a fine name...in England. Over on this side of the pond we have embraced Benedict Cumberbatch, and he is an equally big star here as at home—Maybe even bigger, due to the Marvel franchise and Star Trek. But you will not find Benedict on any list of popular baby boy names in America. We have a long memory for traitors...If 240 years can be considered a long time by your standards. “Harry” is too common for you to ban, but the former Royal has certainly taken the shine off it.
Meghan and Harry are passe. Indeed. I look at them when I'm tired of looking at the very bleak statistics that I have been looking at the past few days. I regard them as comic relief for me, but it is mixed with exasperation because they are so delusional. If they want to skim money from the Annenberg Foundation, sounds like California's problem.
You can figure out how old he is and how tall he would be at 95th percentile etc.
So if my tired brain has it correct, at 21-24 months, if he was in the 95th percentile for length, he could be around 3 feet tall and be perfectly normal fo this height as a 2 year old.
Now they are not even Dr. Pepper, they are like Shasta or RC Cola.
It is laaaaaammmmeee. LAAAAAAMMMMEEEEE!!!
What did Lady C say? She said if Meghan & Harry were to throw a party and invite people, or to even host a private dinner party... well she admitted even people of substance may accept for the sheer gawking train wreck element of the experience.
For me, this is EXACTLY why I would accept an invite to anything involving those two, just to be a fly on the wall in any variety of ways.
But to socialize with them regularly? To return the invite?
To do that girly-party flower-bestie shiz that Drew Barrymore & Cameron Diaz & Nicole Richie, Courtney Cox, Jen Anniston - even the KKKoven girls/women all project the whole "chick-love" thing (like brosefs, squad, et) - just to say not even REALITY SHOW CONTESTANT and strongly married Katherine McPhee seems to be dying to spend additional time together.
If you were really good girlfriends, wouldn't you want to laze around and drink wine and talk shit and make some kind of a dipping sauce for a few hours while you watch movies of people you know and laugh? Fuck yeah I would - I say nobody wants to be MM's friend because she does not give back.
I bet it is an empty experience. Like you show up with a great new pair of shoes and exciting new haircut and all she can do is talk about the guy who didn't look at her "right" upon arriving.
Imagine you are seated next to her at an event. Seems she would be energetic, but energetic and disruptive? dismissive? positive attentions (such as presenting a surprise award)? And if you were deemed Important perhaps she would try to charm you with her big eyes and her I Am Listening face while she leans her probus forehead out toward you (preferably downward) on that ET neck.
I get the distinct feeling Adele has plenty of people in her friend crew (she's been in LA these days) and I suspect that despite keeping her specific activities on the DL, I would believe Adele has some great friendships and a relatively active (for a homebody) social life.
When people don't want to be around you it really slims down your options.
Shasta I tell you. Shasta.
Apparently, having a somewhat smaller head (I do) can make one look taller while having a larger head can make one look shorter. Who has a big head? Mmmm... Jennifer Lawrence a little, black lady actress with mushroom hair, Christina Aguliera may have a big head, hard to say. I don't know.
What I'm saying is that I do have a slightly smaller head (confirmed when choosing sunglasses for my wee noggin) and people often express surprise at hearing my height because they think I am taller. I figured that was my fab posture and impeccable tailoring but perhaps it has been my tiny bean all along.
Prince Harry had private talks with the Queen during visit for funeral
Harry’s love and respect for his grandmother “will always be unwavering”, according to journalist Omid Scobie
Nadia Brooks
Thursday April 22 2021, 12.01am BST, The Times
The Queen met privately with Prince Harry “at least twice” while he was in the country for the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral last week, a friend of the Duchess of Sussex said yesterday.
Omid Scobie, a journalist, also confirmed that Harry met Prince Charles and Prince William in the grounds of Windsor Castle after the funeral on Saturday. That meeting is said to have taken place after the Duchess of Cambridge acted as a peacemaker between the brothers as they walked away from St George’s Chapel.
Scobie, who co-wrote the book Finding Freedom about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to leave the royal family and go their own way, quoted sources on Bazaar.com, who said that tensions had started to thaw.
He said: “The love and respect he [Harry] has for his grandmother will always be unwavering. This trip was to honour the life of his grandfather and support his grandmother and relatives.
“Saturday broke the ice for future conversations but outstanding issues have not been addressed at any great length. The family simply put their issues to one side to focus on what mattered.”
Scobie also confirmed that Harry stayed at his former home, Frogmore Cottage, in the grounds of Windsor Castle and saw a number of other family members including Princess Eugenie and her newborn son. Scobie reported that while no plans had been officially confirmed, the duke is expected to return to the UK in July for the unveiling of a statue of his late mother Princess Diana. He is thought to be planning to join Prince William for a ceremony at Kensington Palace.
Because she is pregnant with her second child, the Duchess of Sussex remained at their California home with their son Archie. It is reported that she spoke to the Queen before the funeral. The duke returned to Los Angeles on Tuesday, arriving in the early afternoon on a flight from London Heathrow.
The Queen was seen driving through her Windsor estate on her way to take her dogs for a walk as she celebrated her 95th birthday yesterday.
Do you mean she sees us talk our shit and scopes her strategy around our drum-beating? Yeah I bet she does. God I wish I could work for her for a week, what an experience.
I jut read the piece about Mrs Annenberg and Harry but didn’t make the Wallis connection — until I read your comment! They have to be pulling our legs (joking) at this point!
H: “Oh, please, Mrs Annenberg, please pull strings and let my wife present whatever the biggest award at the Oscars on Sunday! She is also available to host if you hire Brad Pitt too! Don’t worry, all you have to do is tell any other people “No” and give them money to go away, like Disney did with Miss Sigourney Weaver and the Elephants! And did you know, my wife is from Toronto like your mother? And I know you understand me, as you got all your money and career from your family just like me! So it’s like we are now your newest young kids, yah? And by the way I skipped my granny’s birthday to be here to ask! You may have seen her hubby died, like yours? May I call you Wallis? Somehow makes me fizz to say that!”
WA: “Well, of course I know your father, young man, or I wouldn’t be here today. But before I can promise you anything about the Oscars, until you let me see your son in person. Bring him to me, now! Your papa sent a DNA swab and asked a favor of me as well.”
H: “Uh, ah, uh.....oh forget it then.”
WA: “I thought as much! I didn’t run TV Guide and work with Rupert Murdoch for nothing!”
H: “So, does this mean I shouldn’t ask for ten million dollars? And, I have some Archie finger paintings to sell.....”
Sounds like the Royals are saying "If you are going to BRAAAGGG about having Zoom crumpets with The Queen & Archie in a private pre-ceremony Philip moment to cherish as a family, then WEEEEEE are going to consider that a breach of private family discussion activities."
By tying these things together I hear two things: That never happened. But if it DID happen, who are YOU to be broadcasting The Queen's private family business to the papers? To be feeding so many stories about the state of our "talks" to the papers? Even if all the MM PR stories are based on lies, the BRF can simply say "well geez seems like a lot of details we never provided..."
Not sure if I was the only one to notice that but seems Wills has allowed her rampant over-servings of PR claims to be the reason they can no longer speak at all - because of the leaks of private discussions. Her leaks. All her leaks, whether the things happened or not.
Seemed like a clean swish, a parry if you will.
Not sure you're still awake...but what is your point of reference for that child being 3ft tall?
If we assume Meghan told the truth about being 5'7", if the child's body is 1) lowered so his head is level with hers and 2) his legs are straightened out, I can't imagine Meg's "mile long legs" really extending over 2 1/2 feet below where Archie's feet/legs would end! After all, 2 1/2 feet is 30 inches. If that were true, she'd have to have an inseam measurement (crotch to floor) of nearly 40 inches! Seems unlikely to me. So how tall is Archie and how short is Meghan?
Regardless, for anyone new to these outlets who don't recognize the patterns, there are a couple sources which are ALWAY direct Meghan Markle plants:
- People Magazine - direct feed/plant "sources close to the couple say..."
- Vanity Fair - I have NO IDEA WHY but VF's in cahoots with the Harkles running multiple supportive fluff pieces as needed, direct pipeline
- Daily Mail - Will publish the latest screed dump from Megs' PR, certainly paid to post so of course they will for the clicks. 3-4 new dumb puff pieces a day
- Page Six - This one is interesting. It appears these pics were given directly to Page Six and there was some hold (?) or they were taken yesterday and held until today, not sure - but PAGE SIX??
She has released a handful of other things to Page Six also. Page Six has an exclusive cachet to their society reporting page though it is a big outdated, it shows she is the one sending it to them, it is another plant from her. At least Page Six knows what it is.
They do not look comfortable or safe for *anybody* to wear, pregnant or not. Why not wear some of those recycled ocean plastic Adidas or Nikes in support of the "green" agenda? Oh, my bad, the only green she's interested in is the color of cash.

Thanks so much for the Wikipedia info on the couple-who-shall-not-be-named. I have only read her entry and I laughed out loud at least once for each paragraph. Honestly, you have to read it to believe it. Every act of her life is recorded and mostly exaggerated. Totally gag-making. Do not miss it; she is more worthy than the late Mother Theresa.
.........................
@Brown-eyed
You're welcome - what I found surprising was all the other pages as well. I can't believe there is one for Megxit and for the Oprah interview. There were other ones too that I can't think of right now but once you're in one of them the links are endless.
@Hunter
Yes, I mean all the groups that are anti-Harkles like us, houseplant, LSA, skippy, etc. I think she reads us. What do you mean you wish you could work for her? Do you mean Markle? She's got bullying claims against her. LOL!
I'm so disappointed the Times posted a Scobie sourced article.
I am personally 5'6" and spent much of yesterday determining the height of Britney Spears (final decision? 5'3 to 5'4" max) despite her being listed as tall as 5'6" across various celeb boards.
At the moment Britney looks fatter than me so I'm using that to tell myself I'm not an overfed wratwurst in a bikini.
Walter and his wife became friends with the entire royal family, including HMTQ and PP, in 1969, and even visited the Annenberg home, Sunnylands, while on a tour of the US.
Wallis Annenberg is 81 years old. I wonder if HMTQ may have called on her old friend to have a little "talk" with H.
"Walter and Leonore Annenberg first met Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family in 1969 during Walter’s service as Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s. While the Annenbergs’ first meetings with the Queen were at formal diplomatic events, over their five-year stay in London, Walter and Leonore established a friendship with the royal family, including the Queen, Prince Philip, the Queen Mother, Princes Charles, Princess Margaret, and Prince Andrew."

I agree with your cry into the wilderness of Harkleland: WHYYYY do they hide Archie? For me the answer is that he doesn’t exist except as a series of rented babies, friend’s’ children, and doctored photos.
@hunter,
Lol your comments are so much fun tonight. Shasta!! Ok, I think my noggin is on the big side, and at 5’9” I wonder if I look shorter because of it? My head isn’t Jackie Kennedy big (can you say pill box hat?), but I do have Jennifer Lawrence’s build and head shape with maybe a slightly shorter neck —-I think her longer neck makes her look more proportionate. A good friend of mine has a little head and I do think of her as tall! Though she is my height I think! Yikes, this works!
And Skippy.......it is such an earnest mix of animal pictures and historical photo posts and strange theories, but I don’t think I could trust it for real info or scoops? though she did apparently start the ball rolling with reposts from Windsor neighbors and some PR type from “early royal Meg” days? Does anyone here remember that or know more? A friend knew about the Skippy page from her aunt, and has looked at it more often and said early on that “Skippy” made it sound like she had once worked in some security or office related role for the BRF”? Or Scotland Yard? But she lives in Canada now? Who knows! But yah, not sure I see it as more than a passionate quilting club.
Yessss, she does have bullying rumors against her. Generally I wouldn't suggest myself for that environment, but to go in as a plant - to go in Sacha-Baron-Cohen-style and get hired to do basic scheduling, logistics and assistance work. Boy would I just really enjoy that. Try to look at the tenseness or the abuse as something "happening."
If I REALLY wanted to rock the boat I could occasionally wear something incredibly subtle yet DELIGHTFUL or volunteer the fact my family was just awarded the Most Influential Community Board by the local authorities in my area. Then I would just sit back and take a long sip of coffee, VERY satisfied with myself as I swing my chair back and glance up considering...
Wondering how much that might just piss her off. I bet I'd say random shit like that a lot while bringing her things she never asked for but which are super helpful OR (!!!) things she asked for the day previously when she was furious that we were unable to provide (which she clearly no longer needed) - maybe I'd bring those up a lot.
Anyone else? What do you imagine for two weeks of being under her employ? Any tricks or services you'd treat her to? Maybe I'd offer her a pedicure just to have that Trains Crossing moment where everything is collapsing.
That is totally an adult knit cap on that child — they are onto all of us top sleuths watching closely and had to use the cap to cover the telltale ears, and probably the more obviously “girl” hair. My opinion only!
YES - Jackie Kennedy is a good big head example, internet says she was 5"7". I don't know how tall I thought she was, I didn't think she was short. If your head is on the big side at 5'9" with Jen's build then... Well I really don't see you losing any more than an inch max from a perceptual assessment. You're not gonna roll up with your giant ass melon and people backing away like you're only 5'6".
Jocelyn'sBellinis -
Wallis Annenberg is 81 years old. I wonder if HMTQ may have called on her old friend to have a little "talk" with H.
After having been social friends with them in the past??! HA HA -
The Queen probably rang up Wallis before the luncheon to say "look Darling, Harry knows not what he says. Try to be agreeable and do let him go on but - much of what he says is likely untrue. You know who to call for the facts. Toodle-oo Saffy, out! out!"
You know, the one where everybody ignored her and she carried the baby all wack and smunched up? Like she didn't notice she had one.
NEW ARCHIE:
Same as South Africa/DuckRabbit Archie?

Same as Christmas Playhouse Archie?
Were of these Christmas Playhouse Archie?
What about Pom-Pom hat Archie (okay she's a girl).
I hate to admit this, but I took a strange “real world of business” course my FYI all year of university, and one speaker told us some tricks of intimidation. In my first real job after that, my quite cool top executive boss told us other tips that were sort of awful and funny. Then finally I took an important nice job and ended up using my whole repertoire of intimidation tricks on two crazies. And the tricks worked!
So I would:
* Offer a piece of chewing gum every time MM was ranting. (Throws the ranter off.)...offer it over and over, all wide eyed innocent (“GDammit where is my oat latte and the script I wanted you to write for me! I will kill Harry and Kate too!” —“Peppermint gum, or wintergreen?”)
* Whenever they speak to you, no matter what, act patronizing and pitying, like you know the bad news they won’t get for two more days. (“I need you to iron my Oscars dress! Now!” —-“oh, yes, that will be nice, won’t it, so you can at least...wear it around here...you know....”
* And when they say something self-aggrandizing or when they brag, act as if what they are proud of is only third-rate, or a fail actually. (“All my sugars and the governor want me to be a Senator!” —-“well, it will keep you busy until Marvel evvvver calls, I suppose. at least you might meet more than that poor oat milk girl and the Botox staff, well you weren’t getting anywhere as a philanthropic actor anyway so don’t feel bad....gum?”
(It really works and if you can maintain a straight face, and be persistent and consistent, it will bend them to pieces!) 😃
@hunter—
And your “all wack and smunched up” is the best most perfect description ever of that polo grounds blistering plastic souvenir baby scene.
MEGHAN, WE ALL KNOW.

Yeah it’s funny how that happens. H goes to the UK for Mexhit talks and boom pap pics of Archie on a walk with the dogs,
H goes back to the UK for his grandfathers funeral and boom pap pics of Archie going to “school”.
Lucky he is so stupid or he might cotton on to her schemes.

Her shoes DO look ridiculous. Not the right type of shoe for somebody with big feet, and definitely not a shoe for walking. Are these the same shoes she wore to dinner with The Fosters?
JAN MOIR: Why the hell SHOULD William forgive Harry?
Events following the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral suggest one important thing to me — that Princes William and Harry will never be able to repair their broken fraternal bond. How can they?
A quick chat in a quadrangle — how very British — is not going to fix the unfixable, especially when Prince Charles and number one son William are terrified that any words they utter might be reported straight back to the Duchess of Sussex, repurposed and then filtered through to blabbermouth Gayle King before being streamed to the world via a rosy filter of Sussex-centric partiality on the CBS network.
Brave Prince Harry Confronts His Fuddy Duddy Freak Family!
Bully Big Bro Says No Go to Wives of Windsor Talk Show!
Harry & Meghan — how His Dukeness and His Lady Dukette Fled Royal Oppression To Find Freedom And Rescue Chickens in California.
A rapprochement? It’s not going to happen any time soon. Too many bad words have been spilled, unleashing a spate of resentment so strong that surely no amount of brotherly love could halt the deluge.
Yes, it was generous of the Duchess of Cambridge to try to effect a reconciliation between the brothers, but even if she can find it in her heart to forgive the Sussexes, how can William?
Consider things from his point of view; his kind and dutiful wife maligned in front of a global TV audience; his family smeared as racists; his prospects — and those of his children — darkened and narrowed by the assumed victimhood of his brother and his wife. Where is the wriggle room for forgiveness? Especially as there appears to be no repentance or apology from the Sussexes, only their continued attempts to build a narrative of suffering as they claim the moral high ground.
Appearing on Oprah to spill the beans wasn’t an accident — it was a calculation and a strategy. Given all that, when and how can these two princes possibly mend the shattered orb of trust and emerge from current hostilities with hurts forgotten and royal pardons all round? In a royal blue moon, is my best guess.
You have only to look at how the various parties are negotiating the tricky Duke of Edinburgh post-funeral territory to see the differences in their approach. Most have taken refuge in duty, as befitting this sombre time. Prince Charles has gone to Wales to grieve for his father and worry about his sons, while the Cambridges have disappeared behind the walls of family life.
Meanwhile, the Sussexes appear to have unleashed unofficial truffle hound Omid Scooby-Doo to snuffle for positive headlines.
Prince Harry reportedly had two meetings with the Queen, although details were scant. Two meetings! These pronouncements are always so uncomfortably declamatory, aren’t they? The drumbeat of brag, accompanied by a tootle on the trumpet of swank.
I saw that photo of Scobie you linked to earlier and almost choked on my dinner! Boy, is that one melted plastic mess! He looks like he was left forgotten locked in a car trunk on a blazingly hot day.
Quite how Harry packed those royal appointments into a seven-day trip that included a five-day period of isolation and a funeral is anyone’s guess, but how spirited of the Queen, a 95-year-old recently bereaved widow, to embrace him into her busy schedule. What next? In some respects the conflict between William and Harry is just like any family squabble or humdrum domestic tiff.
Two brothers, once close, have fallen out. Two sisters-in-law arguing over a bridesmaid’s dress. One younger son feeling overlooked, one determined wife applying the spur of ambition to his bruised ego. So far, so very EastEnders.
Yet what sets these brothers apart is what is at stake — a kingdom versus stardom. For the Sussexes can only truly establish themselves as celebrities in America if they throw the Cambridges under the woke bus, which, by the way, is leaving from Platform Peeve in five minutes.
Harry is now back in California, reunited with his pregnant wife and their toddler son. William must somehow find a way forward through this mess, while we must grant Charles a period of leave as he comes to terms with his destiny. In the space of a week, his life has changed profoundly.
It is at points of crisis, at moments like this, when one can glimpse the strangeness of royal life; the perplexing need for both restraint and masquerade in public but utter solidarity in private.
If William and Harry, once the bright future of the House of Windsor, cannot rely on each other to keep the enigma of the monarchy intact, then they — and it — are lost.
Clearly, the Windsors are a troubled lot. Like most families with difficulties, they are not short of members who can be depended upon to act in destructive ways, leaving others to soldier on amid the chaos.
The brothers have reached a terrible impasse and perhaps are too wounded to see the bigger picture; to understand how fragile it all is, this chance at happiness, this hold on prestige, status or even life itself.
And at the core of their current woe is an old but essential truth: some things can never be unsaid, so don’t say them in the first place.
Can William ever forgive Harry for what has been said? Perhaps the better question is — and I don’t expect it to be broadcast on CBS any time soon — why the hell should he?

@Miggy
LOL! Great article! Sounds like Jan Moir agrees with us!
Now I'm picturing the morphing Scobie with a melted boar's face rooting around in garbage for some savory scraps of gossip.
Did you see the Times article I posted above? Scobie's scraps made it into that 'esteemed' newspaper. Ugh!
The other thing I wanted to go back to as I wasn't around yesterday - about the Sussex finances. I think we are overlooking Prince Charles' way of life, which is infinitely grander than any other royal. He gets around £21M a year from the Duchy of Cornwall to spend on his households etc. Of that, before Megxit came along, £5M was divided pretty much equally between his two sons for their households. Prince Charles won't have much left over and even if he continued giving Harry money for a while, it would only be a couple of million. I can't see him buying a house on that scale for them. Not at all. Also remember that Diana's divorce settlement cleaned him out. He sold his entire investment portfolio and it is rumoured he had to borrow from the Queen. I know that was several decades ago, but after that he had the costs associated with his Camilla PR campaign which were considerable. He spent a fortune on her. So on the scale of his living standards, he won't have tens of millions built up since his divorce. He would never be able to afford what Meghan expects.
I agree with other Nutties that the Sussexes currently reside in Antarctica as far as the BRF is concerned. With the daily leaks we are getting, the BRF have the perfect reason not to engage with them. This clash with Earth Day and Boss Baby's birthday is the Sussexes using a pea-shooter on an elephant. It looks pathetic. The Sussexes are now looking the way M's relatives did before the wedding. Like reality TV contestants who had inadvertently strayed onto the royal stage.
Here is the restaurant in Ventura that the Harkles allegedly turned up at:
https://www.thegreekventura.com/
The DM commenter stated...
"They popped up down here at the Ventura harbor waiting to be spotted at The Greek. Our niece works part-time at Brophy Bros. They looked awkward and out of place. No stroller or toddler. No one cared."
Brophy Bros is another seafood restaurant in the same area.

And here is the Honor Bar in Montecito where according to another DM commenter the Harkles walked past. And the patrons shouted "go home"!

Do you think this latest Archie looks like the one someone recently tried to pass off as him? I'm too tired to look it up right now but it was the child of someone who had written an article about how MM's miscarriage story helped her get through her own loss.

Also, agree with you about The Times posting the truffle hound's drivel. Ugh indeed!
Notice the mask the witch is wearing: black - she was in mourning - with a white border on the top, just like the Queen's! The Queen must have told her where she bought it during their cosy zoom chat.

I agree 'Harry's wife' is catching on. Like other Nutties I've seen it on LSA, Twitter, YouTube and DM comments where readers are asking other readers to get behind it and stop using her name.
Hahaha.... just watched that FB video you posted. Brilliant! 😄😅😆
The photo still hasn't made it to the DM however there is a second story about Prince Louis and how he is dressed like his dad. Lol
NO mention of the pic in the DM today! not in the Daily Express either!

"@AnT

I'm not @AnT. But I think this "Brad Pitt" version of Archie looks more like the striped t-shirt, carrot puzzle, other kids in red PJ's Archie photo that "Silver Tree" published than any of the other Archies have. And with a hat, we can't tell if he has the same very curly ginger-brown hair that Archie had. I don't think this.Archie looks much like "running on the beach" mostly straight and dark-haired videotaped Archie from the O show.
I know people have wondered if this photo was photoshopped. No clue. But why does it look like Archie's knee is "denting" M's bump?
And why do all pictures of M with A showing M looking like she doesn't want to touch him? Maybe it's just split-second images or maybe she's just being "gentle." But in the Duck Rabbit Archie in srveral photos her full hand isn't against A's body but he's being held by one finger with the rest of her hand away from his body. Like the first one here https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2020050689381/meghan-markle-nickname-archie-revealed/?viewas=amp
The polo A was held oddly and in some photos her fingers seemed not to be making contact. Like this
https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/amp28491579/prince-george-princess-charlotte-didnt-meet-archie-two-months/
First and third pic her hand looks arched. Pic with Louis with his tongue out her hand under A's butt seems to have space between him and her palm.
This pic, if A turned suddenly and shifted his weight, seems he could take a tumble because she has sunglasses in one hand and at least the thumb on the other held away from his body.
Dog walking Canadian A was held by her forearm by his neck.
We know how tightly she can grip Harry. So what gives?
Comment piece:
THE SUN SAYS Prince Philip’s funeral was the perfect opportunity to establish a Royal truce but it’s not going to happen.
Prince’s trust
PRINCE Philip’s funeral was the perfect opportunity to establish a truce.
After a year of Royal civil war, peaking with the Oprah catastrophe, it was a day for sober reflection and maybe the birth of a more peaceful future.
It’s not going to happen.
It was always a risk to William, Kate and other Royals that anything they said would be leaked.
The Oprah interview revealed just how easily private conversations relayed by Harry to Meghan end up on TV, either from her personally or via favoured friends.
After all, the Sussexes’ sole selling point is what they can tell America about the Royals.
Even their US fans don’t much care what they think about anything else — as we suspect the woke podcasters are about to discover.
We can only feel for William, no longer able to trust his brother.
What a disaster Harry has brought about.
Come on Megs we know you can do it. You're Superwoman, & we know you read this blog. You can pop out infants that look enormous pre-birth as though they're ping pong balls, & then have them shrink to a more moderate size post birth. If only all women had your powers! We are not worthy!

Prince Charles ‘wanted to see Harry’ but was told his son’s schedule after travelling back to the UK ‘wouldn’t allow it’
• Abe Hawken

PRINCE Charles reportedly wanted to see Prince Harry but was told his son’s schedule after travelling back to the UK would not allow it.
The Duke of Sussex, 36, flew to London last week to attend his grandfather’s funeral but will soon return to the US to be with pregnant wife Meghan Markle.
The Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers today told ITV’s Lorraine Harry has a “tight schedule” and that he “has got to get back” to be with the Duchess.
He added that Charles did want to see his son – but was unable to because Harry's “schedule wouldn’t allow it”.
Russell said: “We were told last week there was a tight schedule, Meghan is heavily pregnant so he's got to get back. She's due in the early summer, maybe six weeks away.
Charles did want to see him but was told the schedule wouldn't allow it."
…It comes as the relationship between Harry and his father and brother was described as being “very, very, raw”, according to a report.
The Duke of Sussex is said to have written Prince Charles a “deeply personal” note before arriving back in the UK.
However, they have not repaired their broken relationship as Harry prepares to fly back to the US, reports the Mirror.
A source said: “Harry didn’t expect everything to be completely back to normal but his feeling after seeing his family was there is a lot of ground to make up.
There is a lot of distrust in the camp and everything is still very, very raw.”
Russell told Lorraine “tensions are running very, very high” - adding: “Charles and William are still very hurt I understand.
“A lot of allegations were thrown and it certainly wasn't time to be settling those at the funeral.”
(Rest is opinion on Andrew, my spacing)
Your summation of all the times Harry’s wife has attempted to hold a baby with hands that loathe to make contact with the child is astonishing. It helps explain some of the odd vibes we get from those photos of her with various children. Do you think she simply can’t stand to fully hold these babies, or do you think this also suggests photoshopped imagery?
@JennS,
Yes, I think t could well be the pretty young child of Silver Tree again, though the face seems more feminine to me esp around the mouth.
@Maneki Neko,
Lol, thank you! ‘“Baby’s First Emoji Reader” might work!

Also, I take notice of two things from your reposting of The Sun commentary:
1) "The Oprah interview revealed just how easily private conversations relayed by Harry to Meghan end up on TV, either from her personally or via favoured friends."
If ever there was a "well, DUH" moment, this is it. Shouldn't the freely given opinions by Harry's wife's family have told them something? Oh, but it's different when "they" do it, because reasons.
2) "After all, the Sussexes’ sole selling point is what they can tell America about the Royals."
No one has answered this honestly, to my satisfaction: Why, if the RF are so toxic and all, do H and his wife insist on clinging onto their status like limpets? Wouldn't life be more "normal" and happier for them, like Peter and Zara Philips, and even the Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, if they forewent their royal status?
The Sun commentary alluded to it: It is in fact their only bread and butter. That they choose to slam the RF as "racist" or whatever is part and parcel.
This despicable pair alternate between honey and vinegar as the mood suits them. On the one hand, Prince Philip was the patriarch of racism and toxicity. On the other, he's now the "inspiration" behind H's "commitment" to wildlife (which he spent years killing, and which he would probably still do if his wife hadn't gotten her claws into him).
Gah. Someone could write a book on all of H and his wife's hypocrisies in service to themselves.
(One last note: Just read somewhere that people are trying to get a movement going to refer to H's wife as just that, instead of her name. I'm all in! It will cause a real seismic shift in the search algorithms, thus advertising revenue, and not in her favor!)
if no one is going to publish her pap photos, that's another source of income gone for them. bwahahahaha
___
I definitely join you on that one 😈. No one wants to shell out money for them, hahaha! Instead, we get plenty of lovely photos of Prince Louis all over the place :)
Lol! Four-inch stilettos! But yes, you’re right, those slippery 2011 mule flats on yesterday’s Pap walk were barely anything! Sure, she could slide on the concrete in them, and be rendered off-balance due to the 200-lb buckle-on bump, thus accidentally dropping “Archie 5” into the road. But four- or five-inch stripper strap stilettos were really needed here to make any kind of statement worth noticing. No wonder DM hasn’t even bothered.
I give this pap shot only two stars. ⭐️⭐️🌑🌑🌑
I don't know why M's ways of holding A look so odd. I'm not expert enough to spot photoshopping except in more extreme cases. It could be as I said (in some cases), just split-second images as she shifted positions but it doesn't strike me that way. We have relatively few images of A and so many are odd. I have considered the possibility that my dislike for M causes me to notice things I don't notice in pictures of Kate with her infants/toddlers. But I really don't think that's it.
I suppose she may consider her hands an actor's "tool of the trade" (like for her uninvited high school graduation speech with Madonna poses) so she wants them free, visible, and "not busy." And we know she likes to display her rings for various purposes. But her hands sure were kept busy enough grabbing and rubbing H in photos early on as well as coat thrusting and bump clutching in later photos. So I just don't know. But I think it's odd.
From your keyboard to G-d's ears!
I sure hope he's listening!
I know Harry's wife's behavior is chalked up to being a narc but is that really a strong enough incentive for her PR team go support her on these projects.
I've wondered if maybe there are more practical reasons for why Harry's wife does what she does. Is it:
(1) Harry and his wife are trying to collect data to see where they are in relation to the rest of the BRF
or
(2) Harry and his wife are so unpopular that they use the coattails of the BRF to get the public to consume their "content" after they look for prime BRF "content." How many people would have watched Oprah's interview if it wasn't after 60 minutes? How many people would really seek out Archie's pics unless they are already looking for Louis' new pics?
Maybe both?
Also - the lady who wrote the miscarriage article for CNN - Bryn Gringas, her child is Gavin Gringas and yes it may be her son.
VERY interesting that nobody will post the new Archie pics.
Gavin Gingras has a strabysmus like Archie supposedly does. And it's on the same side.

"Maybe this is a stupid question, but why has Harry's wife's M.O. consistently been to take the spotlight away from the BRF, the Cambridges in particular?"

Not a dumb question! I'm told this is one of the classic narcissist traits. Their insecurity prevents them from losing control of their narrative. H's wife sees how popular the Cambridges really are, and she seethes over it.

"I know Harry's wife's behavior is chalked up to being a narc but is that really a strong enough incentive for her PR team go support her on these projects."
IMO, her PR team (3, count 'em 3, I read!) are soul brothers and sisters. Any dirty trick they play on her behalf would be gold to her.

"I've wondered if maybe there are more practical reasons for why Harry's wife does what she does. Is it:
(1) Harry and his wife are trying to collect data to see where they are in relation to the rest of the BRF, or
(2) Harry and his wife are so unpopular that they use the coattails of the BRF to get the public to consume their "content" after they look for prime BRF "content."

I think both are true, maybe especially your number (1). The S's, especially H's wife, are nothing if not media savvy (even if it blows up in their faces because they're just so despicable, Lol) Data aggregation is where the real money is, nowadays, as far as I can tell. I don't pretend to know much about these things, but it appears they are trying to jump on the bandwagon. Just look at the fact that once you "check in" to their website, your data is automatically in their hands. This gets sold to someone like g0gg!e.
As to your number (2), it's my feeling they are getting desperate by now. Despite their pet media gushing out positive stories, most people have an unfavorable opinion of them. Just anecdotally, a good friend who is a royalist noted that every time she goes to the supermarket, magazines/tabloids with H's wife on them don't tend to sell (while others' racks are empty).

In the Mr Men series, she could have Mr Greedy, Mr Uppity, Mr Jelly, Mr Grumpy, Mr Nobody.
In the Little Miss series, she could have Little Miss Bossy, Little Miss Trouble, Little Miss Greedy, Little Miss Contrary, Little Miss Scary, Little Miss Princess, Little Miss Sparkle, Little Miss Fickle and Little Miss Bad.
And why do all pictures of M with A showing M looking like she doesn't want to touch him?
She has never been natural or normal with 'Archie', not once. Right out of the gate.
At the presentation:
News: Can you move the blanket just a little? We can't quite see his face.
(Harry moves blanket approximately half an inch. His wife's spatulate hand flies up instantly over the (Re?)newborn's head and starts rub/patting his fontanel quite vigorously. Absolute no-no. I always figured she wanted H to carry the baby in imitation of William and Charles carrying theirs. It was safer, seeing as she was teetering on 4 inch stilettos on carpet while being unable to see her feet due to Skewed Post-partum Bump. But also, presuming that baby was alive, she didn't want any wee or spit-up on that horrid white dress she was merching. And because holding an infant both terrifies and repels her.
Polo day: Same. She's so busy hunting for cameras with her infrared eyeballs that she doesn't notice that her baby is about to slip on the ground. She held him/it like an oozing watermelon and had zero interaction with him/it.
Live video really tells the tale. In South Africa, she literally was holding bouncing boy Arch under his armpits with like two fingers of each hand, very stiff. With her patented 'Bent over with eyes squeezed shut hysterical laughter to show what a fantastic time she was having showing her baby to Bishop Tutu. Only she could only do a half-bend due to being seated with a baby in her lap. But she held him like he was a bag of toxic poo about to explode all over her carefully selected merching outfit.
Duck Rabbit looks equally like a forced encounter, stiff and unnatural, with her frozen smile and increasingly manic eyes showing that this photo op was not going according to plan because Arch was not sitting still enthralled with this book.
She's uncomfortable with her 'own son' because he's not 'her son'. She is meeting these babies for the purposes of photo opportunity and has no bond with them. Not that I believe H's wife capable of bonding with anyone. But she doesn't know them and they don't recognize her either, though willing to play along for these photo shoots because a person they do know is just out of frame.
One doesn't have to be a mother to be able to cuddle a child, but M just doesn't know how to fake maternalism convincingly. If A is nearly two, then his mother should be comfortable holding him, but she visibly is not. It's more important to merch the clothes and the bags and the rings she's got on.
Baby models. But that doesn't explain why anyone, even a friend, would allow her child to be exploited in such a manner. Let's say for the sake of argument that the little person we have seen recently is the son of Brynn Gringas (sp?). Doesn't he have relatives and neighbors who would recognize him? M's ostentatious attempts to cover this kid up with huge hats down to his eyebrows are just highlighting that this situation is not normal.
Remember when there was the whole uproar of the leaks for what became Megxit? There were claims in the book about distrust of the other team leaking things.
Observation: look at past history for who benefits or thinks they would benefit from some applied pressure
the shoes in the latest photos
Observation: unless they have some toe grips, it would be really easy to lose control when walking
Future and photos of kids:
If Archie is real or not, then they will need to show more photos of him while promoting Diana 2.0 or risk people asking why he is not included.
Notice that we don't see play dates with any of the neighbors. The only adults are his "parents". Not even a nanny or Doria.
The starkness of the discrepancy will become more obvious in time. We might see arty photos of a shadow looking on or arms holding the baby but that baby will become too big to be held by little arms fairly soon.
He's at school only lasts as long as no one has tracked him to the school or been tipped off by a parent of another kid (for what ever reason they have and are unlikely to accept a demand for a signed NDA).
If he isn't real, they can't get rid of him easily without involving police (and possible the feds as it would be not just a kid but a special kid). And, kids (even well behaved model kids) can say the darnedest things, can't they?
@hunter @AnT Both of you had me laughing like crazy last night. Had to be mentioned. Thanks for the smiles!
@xxxxx Please keep up with the poems because I love them. Plus your music recommendations are always gold!
IIRC, and others can confirm or deny this, the Duck Rabbit book was some kind of a payback to Oprah via O's "reading club." Clearly the concepts of the book were too far above the toddler's head to understand or appreciate. (The juxtaposition of perceptions). Not to mention parading a royal baby to the world in a onesie and a full diaper!
Another question no one has answered to my satisfaction: Why so much secrecy surrounding pregnancies and children!! When it should be a gold mine for PR!
Pregnant women from about 5 months along carry their toddlers on their hip when walking and not on the stomach area. Also, notice that her right hand is holding sunglasses. Um, no. That arm should be across the front of her body, holding her child. Why would she not have her sunglasses atop her head instead of her hand?
Does her bump look awfully low? She looks ready to deliver any day now. She looks like she's giggling under that mask. An evil little giggle! She thinks she's got the world by the tail releasing this pap shot. Nobody cares, M & I think you and child are both dressed rather sloppily for an oh-so-rare glimpse into your oh-so-fascinating life. Blah, pass the sick bucket, please.
"From Skippy anon, do not know if this is true.
There is no national law in the U.S. about photographing & publishing children's pictures. But California has a state law for almost a decade prohibiting pap photos of children of celebrities. But most publishers have followed the law for all children and in their publications in other states. They must obtain written permission. So if you see a face the parent gave permission. End."

Thanks for this. It totally clarifies for anyone that H's wife benefits from Backgrid sales.

You said, "Not sure the HAMs can escape this reputation for slinging mud at their family in public especially after seeing how far Harry's wife went in throwing her father to the lions and the petty issues they raised in FF that they then escalated and exaggerated and lied about in the Twisted Interview to try to get traction on their view that they are multi millionaire victims. What a terrible reputation to have, what a terrible way to go down in history. Oh that's right, Harry and his wife want to scrub history not learn from it, shout about their truths to cover their lies told in public to intimidate and profit from."
Very, very nicely said.
All of your posted comments are incredible and I devour them with a golden spoon of joy.
But this post, today, is so incredible, I wish I could give you a standing ovation that you could see. Please accept a month of lattes and a blueberry scones for "hunting for cameras with her infrared eyeballs" alone.

I agree with every word. I think children/babies horrify and disgust her.
I asked my SIL (school teacher, yoga instructor, charityvolunteer and mum of 5, early 40s like Harry's wife) to assess this school walk photo. I sent the photo as a screen shot, no text. She says, "Whoever asked that assistant to care for her kid should fire her for the dangerous way she is carrying that child. She has bags, child, and glasses too. And what kind of shoes is she wearing? How isn't she falling? I am sitting here cringing, waiting for the inevitable accident. She looks high too. And why is she carrying the child? Can't she walk? She looks about 4. This picture is stressing me out. Wait a minute, is the PA pregnant too? Why is she wearing shoes and carrying the girl that way pregnant? Looks like she's at her due date? What is this?"
Counselor, I rest my case.
"Valentino, really?? I wouldn't accept them for free. They look like torpedoes heading for a U-boat)"
You gave me another great laugh!!! thank you!! everything else you wrote is spot-on, too.

I have an anecdote that the Nutties will get a kick out of. My co-worker's husband is in HVAC so he's in and out of people's basements all day. In one house he flipped the switch in the basement and almost had a heart attack: the basement was full of ReBorn dolls of various kinds propped up around the room in bassinets and on chairs. Turns out the woman of the house had lost a child and collected these for therapeutic reasons. She had been able to heal somewhat apparently because they were in the basement, but my co-worker's husband (who is a very engaging person people open up to easily) got her to share a bit about these dolls and she said that members of her family even enjoy holding them as they find it soothing.
He took a picture of himself on his phone holding one of these Reborns. Although the 'skin' looked rather shiny and the position of the little arms looked too stiff, you would definitely think it was real infant if you just glanced at it and didn't know anything about Reborns.
Freaky, huh?

Totally concur :) @ Hikari is a wordsmith and no mistake :)
_____
And your referencing of @ Hikari's post on that completely weird polo match appearance: not only did she hold the child strangely, she was CLEARLY high, IMO. In fact, I think both of H and his wife are high much of the time. Good insight on @ Hikari's part, and good catch on yours.
"...the Mr Men series, she could have Mr Greedy, Mr Uppity, Mr Jelly, Mr Grumpy, Mr Nobody. In the Little Miss series, she could have Little Miss Bossy, Little Miss Trouble, Little Miss Greedy, Little Miss Contrary, Little Miss Scary, Little Miss Princess, Little Miss Sparkle, Little Miss Fickle and Little Miss Bad."
Oh my god, now I totally want to do this. I am dying laughing at your titles. We could probably make a million for charity, or for the creation of our own nutty documentary about the true Harkle story!
Per AnT's SIL's Qs about the pics I will add my own observations.
1. Archie's hat - they are in LA/Montecito? My mom in WA says it's been near 90 degrees lately, if it is that hot in WA how warm must it be in CA?
2. Archie's backpack - it seems a bit large for a child and lacking in weight (what's in it and why?). The fact she also carries a lunch bag is sus because why?
3. The way she is holding him - yeah. Wow. Didn't catch that the first time, seems she is actually propping him on her bump? Would that be comfortable? Even I (childfree) carry large bags of kitty litter on my hip. Women's hips are pretty awesome for carrying things and the rare occasions I've held kids I've been like HEY WOAH look at these handy hips.
4. Her clothing (and his, but hers) - we see pap shots of all these LA celebs wearing their midriff-baring tops and small clothes yet she is dressed for a rainy day in the PNW (except for the bone colored awful shoes). why?
5. She sucks. Why is the kid wearing a knit beanie? That's weird.
There's a white line along the outside edge of her black mask, which is a good indicator of photoshopping.
Also notice that between his lower leg and her body there is absolutely no detail. All that leafy detail behind them up higher is completely missing in this area.
I can't figure out what they're doing. She was holding a different baby? Wasn't holding any baby? Was holding 'Archie' but photoshopped in or out something else? Photoshopped the background?
(For reference: An article in the DM on H's visit with one Wallis (!!!) Annenberg, billionare, which he evidently could not avoid so as to help celebrate his Grandmother's birthday.)
oh my goodness.....a whole flock of Reborns, in the basement? If I saw that unexpectedly, I think I would be edging backwards toward the stairway to flee. Your co-worker's husband is such a good man to accept what he saw and take a moment to talk with the owner about them.
Obviously it is wonderful if these dolls give the woman, and others, such a sense of soothing peace. I think that was the original intention of the dolls (outside the entertainment industry). But I find them....well, unnerving. As someone who had a couple of miscarriages, and then a stillborn child at 8 months due to preeclampsia, I understand the enormous grief of such loss. But I honestly cannot understand how a plastic doll would help. But, that is me, and I definitely respect that others felt differently and am glad they can find some significant comfort this way. Too bad they cannot be donated somehow to help others, actually.
The contrast is so great between the Cambridges and the Grifters families that one has to wonder about drug use, abuse, both emotional and physical, going on in the Grifter household. The baby is never happy, the father is always scowling. Must be pretty miserable. Money will never solve their problems.
The lunch bag is weird. Kids that little don't go to school all day. No need for a lunch bag.
The backpack was way too big for the kid. And looked like it was empty.

YES regarding the "Baby's First Emoji" and other book series.
Let's form a company called "Archepit" which will publish all of these books. Then from the profits we can rent out billboards all across LA (as another Nutty suggested) with Meghan, WE ALL KNOW written across it.
Or maybe we can use pap pics in the public domain to sell bumps and Reborn dolls on the billboards instead ;)
Whoever does her photoshops is so bizarre.

I have to agree with other Nutties who have had children. Holding a child like that while pregnant to that degree would be agony. The hip is the only way.
I do NOT like to lapse into conspiracy theory. But when things are not answered to the satisfaction of reason, there is only that avenue to pursue.
Every post is of value here as we try to suss out all their nonsense! And I agree -- someone is going to be in serious trouble about this leak of Harry's lunch with the new Wallis (I can guess that the leak is a Harry--> Harry's wife---> Omid Rabies Special edition leak, but some poor waiter will pay.)
I have asked my docent friend who grew up in Bel Air , daughter of a director/producer, to see if she can learn more about this from her sisters and friends who are still there and still in that sort of society/arts circle.
EDIT: I typed "Scobie" and it auto'd to "Rabies" and I am not changing it!
All superb questions about this questionable photo!!!!
Good point!
Plus, the child might run straight to its mother hiding between trees or cars.
Re the witch holding Archie, I've never seen a photo of her gazing at her son, never mind gazing lovingly at him. She can't interact with him. Either he's not hers or else she's singularly lacking any maternal feelings. He was probably a means to an end, like H.
@AnT
I'm eagerly awaiting publication of your Mr Men/Little Miss emoji books 👶 (or 👶🏽 for baby #2) 📚 👹 👸🏽
Thanks for that! Everybody is really warming to our ridiculous subject with excellent commentary. Peppa's 'torpedo shoes' comment was hilarious.
I was looking at that photo on my phone and until I blew it up and really studied it, the fact that those were slides rather than ballet flats wasn't immediately apparent. When I saw they were open-backed and appeared to be made out of inflexible plastic, I said, "Oh, LORD." Yet more of 'Archie's mom's gravity-defying superpowers in wildly inappropriate footwear while 11 months pregnant. She does what normal dull suburban women cannot because she's magical."
So here's a new question to mull, Nutties:
1. Does Herself actually think that her photos of 'Archie' are so convincing that everyone absolutely believes that they are playing Happy Families in Montecito and she's Yummy Mummy of the Millennium? Is she that far gone? I mean, wherever she's sourcing these kids from, he/she is never the same one twice. I've read that since Narcissism distorts their reality, they have a really difficult time judging aesthetics, which is a plausible explanation for her poor taste and presentation, and why she might think a photo project that wouldn't pass a junior high digital media course is convincing the world that she's not only a natural mother, but the best mother of all time.
OR
2. Is M fully aware that her efforts are sloppy/slapdash and guaranteed to get the world arguing about their authenticity? Ie, she KNOWS that we know that she's been playing head games for nearly three years about her 'pregnancies' and her baby? But she does not care, as all this speculation means fuel and attention and hey, they might be really bad, stupid pictures that insult everyone's intelligence, but she's got her picture in all over the Internet and people are talking incessantly about HER. But she looks so smug because she knows she's getting away with it. Not just in upstaging Kate but in upstaging Kate with things she's completely made up. She doesn't care if 'Archie' doesn't pass muster--'Prove he's not' her smirk says. 'You can't--so I'm going to keep going'. Even fake pics of a fake baby are earning her money and clicks. Her smirk says "I played chicken with the Queen of England and she flinched. My fake baby is in the line of British succession. You won't prove he isn't real because the Queen says he is." Plus, she lives to insult everyone's intelligence. But she's found herself a fortified position, really. How's anyone gonna prove she's not a mother? Nobody's talking. NDAs are iron-clad. She's got complicit friends. M will sue anyone who says otherwise. The RF is not refuting her, and to question a woman's maternity, especially one 'suffering from issues of mental health' is a litigation landmine. Note how even her most rabid critics (Piers Morgan) may question her statements about suicidal ideation but they tip-toe delicately around challenging her pregnancy or her assertions that she's a mother. It's a no-go area and she knows it.
Now that she and H are poised to 'have their second child' they've got two hooks into the RF for financial support for at least 20 years. Amid reports that the rift with William and Charles is unmendable, watch for stories pouring out of Cali after 'the birth' that the heartless Royals have abandoned/refused any and all relationship with H's children and is refusing to help support them. Charles and William are so cold toward their blood! This is why H and M had to flee! But Charles should still do the right thing and send money for the kids care and education. A few million $$$ per month each should suffice. Montessori preschools are expensive.
@TexxMaam,
Every post is of value here as we try to suss out all their nonsense!
THANK YOU! I just meant, by the time we all get to 500+ comments, I'm sure alot of us have Scroll Fatigue!
And I'm so stealing "Omid Rabies"..... it's so perfect.
I'm in LA, married to a formerly-prominent Entertainment family (they tapped out right before Napster came along, and whew! were they lucky!). Annenberg is huge. She gave the City of Santa Monica a phenomenal public beach "club" right next to the old Marion Davies' beach bungalow that W.R. Hearst built for her. Pre-pandemic, I would take the kids there. Now, I refuse to set foot on any beach wearing a mask. LA has lost its collective mind!
I loved the Mister Men and Little Miss series. Though they came around the same time as Sesame Street, it did more to teach children about human nature than anything else, IMO.
Back-pedaling a little, I'd characterize M as the Little Girl with a Curl ... except that she was never good in the first place!
Re the witch holding Archie, I've never seen a photo of her gazing at her son, never mind gazing lovingly at him.
Good point. Also notice how the child is never looking at her either.
* Also notice that between his lower leg and her body there is absolutely no detail. All that leafy detail behind them up higher is completely missing in this area.

It's the LH side of her coat.
@Lt
what's with the weird bulge on the poor kid's right cheek?
That caught my attention too. Weird!
"The lunch bag is weird. Kids that little don't go to school all day. No need for a lunch bag.
The backpack was way too big for the kid. And looked like it was empty."
---
I can confirm that this is what is normally expected and needed when Moms drop their toddlers off at a playgroup or pre-pre-preschool classes. There are programs for toddlers as young as 16 months called Mommy's Day Out where you have to bring a backpack full of extra clothes, diapers and wipes. The lunch bag is normal-sized, too.
TRUST ME, I want to rip her to shreds just like everyone else, but I will confirm the amount of baggage he has is normal. The amount of "baggage" she has, however, is positively Sociopathic.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'won't release new project for some time', pal claims
Royal biographer Omid Scobie said the
Duke and Duchess of Sussex jumped from
one big project to another to "prove themselves"
when they were working royals but now they
have changed their approach
ByTiffany Lo Video News Reporter

NEWS
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are not rushing to release a new project as they take time to create a "long-lasting legacy" as the Sussexes, a royal author claimed.
Royal biographer Omid Scobie, who wrote Finding Freedom, said it's a change of how the couple approach their work as compared to their days where they were active Royal Family members.
The couple signed a whopping £112 million deal with Netflix in 2020 and it was revealed to be an Invictus Games documentary.
Speaking on the Royally Obsessed podcast, Omid told desperate royal fans that he doesn't think there will be any new projects released until some time later, even after the Sussexes had released one episode on Spotify.
He said: "To actually see some of the fruits of the Netflix labour, to see the Spotify series, it was a great start, but I think it's just that they are not rushing.
"I don't think those first episodes of the Spotify series will be around for quite some time, partly I think because there is a baby on the way and also other focuses. I think one thing has changed in the way that they work."
He also mentioned that Meghan and Harry were "desperate" to prove themselves before they stepped down as senior working royals and they jumped from one big project to the next.
"You only need to look at how quickly Meghan got the Smart Works collection out or how quickly Harry got the first Invictus off the ground, that's kind of how they approached their work," the expert explained.
But I think there's also a beauty in taking your time.
"They want to create a long-lasting legacy for themselves just as the Sussexes, not as royals.
"When you want to do that, slow and steady is the way forward."
Podcast hosts Roberta Fiorito and Rachel Bowie asked when royal fans could see or hear Meghan and Harry.
Omid replied: "We will definitely be seeing the growth of the Archewell foundation continue this year.
"We heard a lot of initial partnership with organisations that they will be working with."

Meaning there are no projects. This has always been a lie. So many of us called it!
.
Now for sure PW will be all about reconciling. Hahahaha.
People has been called "Kneepads" by US gossip sites for years as it does the bidding of celebrities and is mostly PR pieces.
It is interesting that only Page 6 was carrying the photo of Archie and M. I googled Backgrid and the first entry that came up is Backgrid paparazzi staged. It is very possible that occurred as M is known for trying to upstage the Cambridges. We shall see if there is a threatened lawsuit against Backgrid.
I thought H&M would make a statement about the George Floyd trial, nothing yet.
Her shoes in the photo: Just looking at them, I keep scrunching my feet as if trying to keep slides on. Those are evening event shoes. sigh. "ooh, ooh, I wear Valentino to do the school run. I'm so upper class!" Oh to be a fly on the wall in that house.

Cue Gomer Pyle, "surprise, surprise, surprise!!)
Possible translations:
1) They're too stoned to be bothered with the work thing, to actually achieve anything.
2) They've got some secret money source they're relying on. No way could those Netflix/Spotify/ButterCup deals pay them any money if they're not putting out product.
3) Maybe both.

Don't let them kill you!! We must stay healthy to watch them hang themselves! It will be a glorious day.
Those shoes!! So a few years ago I had a similar pair, almost identical, but leather, in black, not quite as ugly. I thought I was so clever and I wore them to work with some black cigarette pants and a white silk shirt and red lipstick. Aren't I something! I head toward a conference room for a meeting, nearly wipe out on the miles of pristine oatmeal carpet, do a near ski-fall on the wood and tile flooring between me and the doorway, resume walking in horror like I am picking my way over ice, and have to grab the doorframe as I finally enter. A woman in the room at the table nods and says gravely, "I had those shoes, they nearly killed me too." I tried them on the concrete sidewalk at lunch, leather soles sliding, nearly broke my neck on a busy street with flying taxis. Finally binned them back inside at my desk and switched to lightweight running shoes I'd luckily rolled into my bag that day.
Carry a child in them while pregnant? Never.
Here is a listing of the medals worn at Prince Philip's funeral:

Apparently Harry is wearing the Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order neck order.
I dont believe the story of her and Archie in downtown Cito trying to get papped. She wouldnt get paid for those miss madame likes to get paid. If she were down there its because no one believes she is really there. I still like the living in an Oprah guest house theory. Archie - that one still confuses me. Not that she would rent a baby, that doesnt. but who would allow it and knowing that the kids is photographed. Sure would have to be desperate for money and get paid a bunch of money for that.
Annenberg lunch - now that one i would like to be a fly on the wall. Maybe she requested it on behalf of the queen as a "we are on to you out here", there are eyes everywhere. Your wife is persona non gratis and you are only tolerated" " I know the terms of the separation, you or the harpy that is you wife cross it, i will enforce it for my friend the queen" Harry tells meghan who leaks, oh they are sharing good advice on large foundation/impactful management.
Uhura - love the gomer pyle reference! man would love to hear that dialog as he talks to harry and meghan loudly about all of it!!!
Omid Rabies - we have a winner!!!
Ok, now we have to put out our guesses on what she does for cambridge anniversary. Another new throw back pic of her wedding, do we have in labor with diana doritos? Is it intimate date night out pap photo via blackgrid? Article I forgive Kate for making me cry; she doesnt understand what its like to be black in the royal family. I cant fault her for her white privilege but I will move past it.
Possible translations:
1) They're too stoned to be bothered with the work thing, to actually achieve anything.
2) They've got some secret money source they're relying on. No way could those Netflix/Spotify/ButterCup deals pay them any money if they're not putting out product.
3) Maybe both.

Yes plus maybe:
4) "they have been cut off from Netflix and Spotify for producing nothing and being hated, assume Harry's jobs will pay enough, and are getting "future scathing story" cash from Oprah"?
It as reported last week PW approach to patronages is to spend more time with fewer patronages and do deeper, heavier work with them bringing more visibilty to it versus having 900 patronages and cutting ribbons 4 times a day.
PW and PC are leading that discussio. on slimming down and that results in fewer patronages for people to maintain. there’s value in both approaches. It was reported Sophie would be given a bigger role, along with Edward, but there are a lot of patronages between PP, PAndrew that need to be dispersed or dropped and HM has alot herself, and her cousins handle alot too and they are getting older too.
IF they take PW’s approach of fewer, then the Event watchers who clock how much time Royals spend publicly at an event needs to be take into account the behind the scenes time they put in as well. Like DC’s time planning and working on the outdoor garden, or her planing her child devlopment questionairre, etc.
