Let's continue...
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

@Girl with a Hat
My university buddies are 76-77 yrs old and I can assure you that their minds are as sharp as they were when I first met them in the early 1960s. Trained as scientists, historians, and linguists, they are still actively engaged in teaching, lecturing, writing scholarly books, and researching, as well as being active in politics and social justice - and they're all mothers and grandmothers.
Please don't assume that dementia is inevitable - it isn't. Many of us still have a couple of brain cells to rub together.

@JennS - thank you so much for the reminder of what H used to look like. There's so much spontaneity, affection and hope in H's face - and now it's gone. He's not yet 40, let alone in his 70s.
---------------
BTW - is the 2nd Edition of FF (aka FFS?) timed as a sort of 40th Birthday present from the wife the world? Given that publication date is the day after her birthday?
She will continue with her `leaky bucket argument', trying to strengthen her case, until she is fed no more causes of grievance and has exhausted all means of enhancing her moans.
Please let it be soon!

I'm so glad you took a peek at the pics - I love your very astute commentary on the change in Harry.
Markle has just sucked the life out of him, hasn't she?
I've started a new post (file) with old articles on the relationship between Harry and Chelsy.
....................
Re the updated FF, will the authors' names remain unchanged or should the book say MM and PH? It will be so obvious that any latest info, O interview, funeral for instance, will come straight out of the horse's mouth. I hope this will be another nail - or three - in the coffin. Has she not heard the saying 'Speech is silver but silence is golden'?
It’s getting slowly quieter overall IMO. For me it’s being fatigued and bored by the Duo, coupled with regurgitated topics which have already been discussed to death. I check back now and then to see if there’s anything new. ;o)

Yes, I share your feelings. There's nothing new happening and until the unveiling of the statue and the birth, there'll be bits and pieces. I think more than boredom, indifference is what we might be feeling. It is getting difficult to remain really interested. I think we're all waiting for the to put an end to this circus and put us out of our misery.
It’s most definitely this. :o/ I think even with the new baby it will just be more of the same. I’m on the fence about the Diana statue.... Isn’t it going to be more or less a private thing in Kensington gardens?

Heartfelt agreement from me.
Wasn't there some rumor (rumour) that MM forbid H from speaking to Chelsey or the other ex after the wedding? I thought that's why she was crying? And wasn't she invited to the ceremony but not the reception?
So many red flags about MM! How did H not see any of them? How much energy did it take for him to actively ignore them? How compartmentalized his mind must be.
Also, MM - what a calculating, insecure psycho!
One is a historian and the other is Hollywood hack.
Never the twain shall meet.
Anyone who reads anything in Peter Morgan's work as truth in anyway deserves to be lied to. He creates a believable fantasy, but that is all it is,Fantasy.
The sad truth is his work on the Crown has been taken as truth or some version of the truth that in time it will be viewed in the same way that Shakespeare's history plays are taken to be gospel truth especially the one on Richard 3.
Lady C chooses current subjects to document plus makes herself publicly available rather than keep herself in libraries and she's knows her way around her subject enough to understand when something is bunk or is PR spin.
Same can't be said for fellow royal historians with tenure like Professor Kate Williams who can be relied upon to support any and all Markle claims without evidence or the need for it.
The only Lady C book that caused her problems and caloed into question her credibility was the one on Lily Safra. Book had to be recalled and pulped. However, Safra is a very shady character with 2 ex-husbands dead in mysterious circumstances that left her a very rich widow. She controls her media jealously and Lady C was a fool to venture in those waters. The book was recalled due to threats to Lady C and the publisher and not veracity of it's contents.
My theory about the next baby is she will be of darker coloring. A child of color gives Harry's wife a huge platform in the race-obsessed U.S. The clue is the ridiculous statement she made about the BRF questioning how dark Archie's skin would be.
When #2 arrives too fair

If H's wife produces a dark-skinned child, she will weaponise her/him/it, should the RF dare to remove any of the styles/tiles she currently bears, claiming it's because the child is undeniable a POC, which is more than can be said for Child 1.
If they're going to take H & his children out of the Succession, they'd better hurry up, before anyone knows what colour the poor mite is.
William? Are you listening?
I find it extremely worrying that people take The Crown’s content as all true or even mostly true. It’s mostly dramatised and a truly massive amount of artistic license used to embellish the truth.
Agree about Lady C, she also mixes in the same social circles as those she writes about.
If they're going to take H & his children out of the Succession, they'd better hurry up and do it, before anyone knows what colour it is.
Yes! And I agree. It's up to William.
The One Thing Stopping William & Harry From Reconciling, Say Insiders

Fri, April 23, 2021, 3:26 PM·7 min read
Part 1
After last Saturday's deeply personal funeral for the Prince Philip, attended by only 30 family members and closest friends, Prince William and Prince Harry were seen talking as they walked back to Windsor Castle from St. George's Chapel. Duchess Kate had been walking with her husband when Harry caught up with them and she stepped back, giving the estranged brothers time to talk privately, which made international news. But according to those close to the situation, the brothers still have a long way to go.
"That is all well and good," a royal insider told Best Life of the post-funeral walk-and-talk. "But a few words after a funeral do not indicate one way or the other that any real progress has been made in healing the hurt and mistrust that exists between Harry and William."
That lack of trust is why William is hesitant to move forward in resolving his rift with Harry. "[William] is really struggling with it," a source said. "There has been a complete breakdown of trust since that interview with Oprah Winfrey. The prince has been both angered and shocked by the things his brother chose to discuss on American television."
The source continued, "William and [Prince] Charles were very hurt by Harry's claims that they were both 'trapped' inside the institution. Harry's become a loose cannon who, along with [Duchess] Meghan, has the potential to do irreparable damage to the monarchy. [The royals] don't know what they might say next. Nothing has changed since Harry came back to the U.K. to reunite with the Royal Family."
Read on to find out how the brothers' broken bond has grown more fragile and why it will be a long time—if ever—before it will be repaired. And for more on who's giving Harry the cold shoulder, find out why These 3 Royals Aren't Willing to Forgive Prince Harry, Says Source.
Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey was just the beginning.
In March, the Royal Family was thrown into chaos after the Winfrey interview in which Harry and Meghan alleged they had been subjected to institutional racism and that an unnamed family member had a conversation about the color of yet-to-be-born Baby Sussex's skin. The Duke of Sussex later told Winfrey off-camera that neither Queen Elizabeth nor Prince Philip had made the racist statements. Winfrey shared that information (with Harry's approval) the day after the broadcast during an interview with her close friend Gayle King on CBS This Morning.
A few days after the interview, while on a visit to a London school, William was asked by a Sky News reporter if he had been in touch with his brother after the broadcast. "No, I haven't spoken to him yet, but I will do," he responded.
Soon thereafter, King revealed how that conversation went, announcing on CBS This Morning one week later that she'd called the Sussexes to see how they were holding up. The news anchor said she had spoken to Harry, who told her his conversations with his brother and father were "not productive." King went on to say Meghan was "upset" that no one from the Royal Family had reached out to her after the interview.
"William felt utterly betrayed by that," said a royal source. "Everything went from bad to worse."
And for more on how Philip's death has changed the situation, check out The One Thing Harry&Meghan Must Do Now That Philip Has Died, Sources Say.
Gayle King sharing details of private family conversations was the "final straw" for William.
"William was infuriated after learning Harry had made Gayle King an unofficial mouthpiece for him and for Meghan," said a royal source. "It wasn't enough to make these very serious claims against the family themselves, now it seemed Harry was going to allow someone with a large media platform to share private conversations between him and his father and brother. How could William ever trust Harry with anything that was said from that moment on?"
The continued coverage of the interview also led to further tensions between the Sussexes and the royals. An insider told Vanity Fair: "Harry was out in the cold after Oprah and then when details of private family conversations were leaked to Gayle King, it was the final straw."
Now, insiders say, William wants some ground rules in place to ensure there will be no more leaks of private conversations between the brothers or with Prince Charles about the future of the monarchy. And for more on that, check out The One Thing William Must Do to Save the Monarchy, Say Insiders.
William and Charles' talk with Harry after the funeral did little to ease tensions.
There was no wake for Prince Philip, but after the funeral, there was a face-to-face meeting on the grounds of Windsor Castle between William, Harry, and Charles. Royals reporter Dan Wootton revealed in the Daily Mail that the Duke of Cambridge and the Prince of Wales took an unprecedented step that indicated just how deep their mistrust of the Duke of Sussex is at the moment.
Charles and William made it clear they would only meet with Harry together so as to prevent any words from being misconstrued should they be leaked to the media. Kate, who had played peacemaker earlier in the day, also sat in for some of the talks, but no staffers were included.
"William needs to know he can trust Harry and that private conversations will stay private," an insider told the Vanity Fair. "Things need to be talked through, but this was not the occasion and everyone respected that. It's going to take more than speaking after a funeral to sort things out, but this is hopefully a start.
"
A source told Best Life that Harry and William's "issues run very deep and are going to take time—and a lot of it—to rebuild the close relationship they once had." And for more royals news sent right to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter.
The Queen is reportedly aligned with Charles and William.
Despite his two-hour meeting with his father and brother, a source told Best Life, "Harry still harbors a great deal of resentments towards the Royal Family, and many members of the family are clearly not comfortable around him." Another source told The Mirror: "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."
The Duke of Sussex returned from the U.K. to his home in California on Wednesday to reunite with his son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, and wife, who is pregnant with the couple's second child and did not travel to the funeral on the advice of her doctors. The prince left one day before the Queen's 95th birthday, the first she will spend without her husband of 73 years, but is reported to have spoken with Her Majesty privately during his visit.
Russell Myers, royals editor of The Mirror, said on the popular ITV talk show Lorraine that Charles wanted to see his son again before he left, but was told Harry was on a "tight schedule" and had get back home to be with Meghan, who's likely now in her third trimester. Myers also said William and Charles are "still very hurt."
The Express has reported that while Her Majesty still has great affection for her grandson and his family, she is very much on the side of William and Charles.
MailOnline columnist Wootton reported a source told him: "The Queen has made it clear to senior advisers that she is united with Charles and William, and was disappointed with aspects of Harry and Meghan's interview." And for more on how Her Majesty is making moves since Philip's death, read up on The One "Drastic Change" the Queen Is About to Make Now, Insiders Say.

I never watched and don't ever plan to watch The Crown but I thought it was just Americans who *believe* it. Most are new to British television and culture so they take it as faithful representation. Something similar happened when Downton Abbey was popular. The Americans I knew who watched thought it was classy and high-brow art. Instead it was a frothy soap opera whose cast cringed at the material they had to act out. The costumes and sets were glorious though.
I don't know what can be done about making people know The Crown is fantasy. A similar thing is happening with the K-Pop wave and people thinking South Korea is exactly like K-Dramas. :-/

I love Downtown Abbey for all what it is. I’m gobsmacked that this too is taken as an honest account of the goings on between upstairs and downstairs lives. It’s more merged these days, but it’s still a respectful staff and employer relationship.
Re: Colman and Bonham-Carter, that sounds more like promotional chit-chat when they are talking about The Crown. Helena of the two should know far better given her background and upbringing!

Anyone would think he's written the whole thing but it's a just a forward -as per usual?"
Yes and it's gross the way he's always calling attention to his mother's death to grab headlines, support and yes to monetize the experience for gain and acclaim. Publicizing and promoting so relentlessly something so deeply personal is un-becoming. He's just too much a narcissist to see it. I guess and he Meg really are two birds of a feather.
As far as the new edition of "Finding Freedom" given how little from the so-called "bombshell" accusations from the interview actually made it into this work of fiction, I'd say a re-write's definitely in order. What I wanna know, after Meg and her "friends" buy up a ton of copies to make sure it lands on the charts, do you see this going direct to the discount bin at Walmart and Target?
Gotta give these two grifters credit. Never let a tragedy go to waste. Kind of like when that vile huckster Carl Lentz was disgraced and kicked out of his fakey celebrity church, he honestly thought he'd land a multi-million Netflix deal for his own show because quote unquote his FAME has never been higher. True on one level but famous for all the wrong reasons. Plus, like his spiritual level, Meghan, he's no love for the truth, and apparently lied to one and all when the truth would sound better. NOW, nobody takes his calls.
I dunno about you but I'm already growing bored of this "made for TV" drama? It's so 2019 and the pandemic has wiped out so much in the past year. The US in particular doesn't have the energy or attention span to care about these Chrissie Tiegen-esque celebrities. Tho, I guess they're BIG on Twitter, you know.
Where did I say or even imply that the elderly were prone to dementia? I don't believe it at all.
One addition...Kim Kardashian's fourth child is named Psalm.
I was reading the 3 part article (thank you) and realilized it has a lot of similarities with a lot of other articles:
Person claims to be a Royal Watcher or some kind of authority. No credentials or for how long they have been doing this. In some cases they will have a book or two behind them but most of the books are not on the mainstream royal book reading lists.
They come off as breathlessly wanting to let you know they have some sort of special insider leak. OK, that happens but the real question is: has this special information something I've read in 25 other articles somewhere or not? and then, what is the reliability factor of this author so we can get a better clue on the reliability of their source?
They often have a personal opinion to the news instead of a straight up facts and let you know what they are and that if there is an opinion of the reporter, it is flatly stated as such.
So, churning and going nowhere fast like the other articles with nothing really new.
As a side note, I personally don't think the relationship will ever be fixed to the way it was. Not just too much water under the bridge but what the water was and said to the BRF. I don't see one physically closer to another longer for a photo to be taken as indicative of things are getting better for them and will apply that as another observation of why this reporter doesn't know what they are talking about.
And, as most marriages sadly end in divorce, there is a subset which end in crazy land instead of being able to work things out like adults. The BRF would be mirroring what happening to real people outside the palace walls to have relationships fall apart, not get along and someone displays outrageous behavior. The people outside the walls only benefit is that their photos and comments don't wind up all over the world for public display.
Celebrities are definitely not like you and me when it comes to picking baby names. You forgot the incomparable Moon Unit and Dweezil Zappa. Some of the names on that list are unusual combinations, but pretty in themselves, like Petal or Sunday. Natalie Portman’s son Aleph has a very old Hebrew name which is Biblical, so I don’t include that with the weirdo names.
I just continually get a kick out of the fact that her husband, Benjamin Millipied, is a danseur. Since his family name translates to “1000 feet/legs.”
Harrys “new job” at ButterUp is being shortened to Chimpo...Which is a Japanese slang term for the male genitalia.
Fitting, that. Harry is #1 d*ckhead in my book.
Reflecting on JH’s earlier reputation and popularity and apparent happiness BM—Before Markle— it simply boggles the mind that this woman he’s known for only a few years has completely blown that all apart. She has done it with his complicity to a large degree. He may be unhappy and conflicted about the direction his life has taken, But he has done her bidding in every aspect and has not made a single move to rain her in or say “No—this we will not do.” One time and one time only, did he seem to assert himself over her, and that was when he told her to turn the F around on the balcony as she was blatantly disrespecting his national anthem and his grandmother, the living embodiment of that song.
Where was that H when his granddad was in hospital and being buried? H had the duration of a very long flight from LAX to Heathrow to consider apologizing to his family. He didn’t. Reports continued to come out about this alleged 2 he meeting and “Peacemaker Kate” even participating in some “talks”. AnT’s Palace connected source insists that there was nothing of the kind—No talks, no meetings, no promises. I know which I believe.
I think the way forward for the RF is pretty clear. These two traitors will never stop as long as they draw breath. JH and his heirs, real and or imaginary must be removed from the line of succession. That would mean revoking the titles as well. This is what they have earned. Their activities have now moved into the openly treasonous and most probably criminal. I don’t know if anything can be patched up with hairy if he were to divorce her and come back to his homeland. I don’t know if she is more of a threat cut loose entirely from him or not.
The two will be an ongoing source of heartache and strife for years to come, whether they stay together or not. This is what I fear.
Yes, but so appropriate for a dancer. One wonders if his surname influenced his choice of career. The couple met when he was working as choreographer on Black Swan.
The millipede is named for its thousand legs as well. Not really 1000, but it just seems like it. They are very gross.
Thank you for the poems and the Sheryl Crowe recommendation.
@Magatha Mistie
Thank you. I cannot forget our eminent blog bard ;)
@Raspberry Ruffle
Come to think of it, I don't think I ever heard a British actor say they were knowledgeable about the BRF. I suppose it protects them from awkward questions and probes from American media that are insulting to the BRF. Look what Harry's wife did by allowing so much uninformed judgment.
By the way, I loved Downton Abbey :) I love my British froth and have a pathological weakness for British period dramas. The Crown is probably the first British period drama I've been put off from.
@Acquitaine
Maybe other's experiences have been different but my teachers and professors have consistently been critical of Shakespeare's historical plays. Of course, most laymen won't be doing close readings of Shakespeare unless it's required. I do find it troubling that more and more people don't read and expect entertainment to teach and inform them.
And he lives a regular life despite being a Hollywood director.
Jones was David Bowie's birth name.
I joined and quickly exited a local amateur historian group because the early discussion about the subjects of his history plays kept hitting that brick wall.
The number of times someone would bring up a detail and we'd have to stop to google and prove to them that it was a Shakespearean invention and not the truth.
The worst victim of this idiocy is Richard 3. Everybody thinks they know his story based upon the details in that play. Including people who've never actually watched or read the play. Somehow it's details have seeped into society as gospel truth.
I wonder if she will try to use that to ingratiate herself with that community.
Having a BRF member called LaShiqua for example. Or Mo'nique.
I think Harry and his wife are going to do what they did with Archie Harrison by using their own names for his.
Apologies in advance. I'm awful at this unlike the Nutties here but maybe: Chelar Harriet
"What's wrong with Fuschia? There are a lot of women that are bearing or have borne flower names; Rose, Violet, Lily, Daisy, Jasmine, Pansy (not so popular now, grin), as well as tree and shrubbery names such Magnolia, Holly, Laurel, Daphne (Greek for Laurel), Azalea, Rosemary, Lilac and Heather."
I was raised on Enid Blyton and similar authors so floral names always bring to mind those kinds of characters.
Violet is seered in my mind as Veruca Salt because every Violet in those types of books was always a Veruca Salt type.
Daisy will always be the song Daisy Bell (Bicycle made for two)
Allegedly inspired by one of Edward 7's mistresses and lyrically very naughty in it's double entendre lyrics.
Creative thinking in comments--she ordered a really dark-skinned baby.
"Re names for the baby girl: could H's floozy (wife is too respectable) be considering something like Lily Beth, a take on Lilibet, the Queen's nickname? Of course, presented to H as an homage to the Queen. @Hikari, I shudder at your suggestions. All possible, alas."
For a long time i've speculated that the only thing Harry remember about his mother is her fame, particularly at her funeral. That global outpouring imprinted on him.
Since then he has tried and continues to try to wear her mantle and to draw attention to his association so that he can be granted similar level of fame - bonus he finally out-fames his family members especially William.
Then he married a woman who incorrigibly takes credit for other people's achievements and fame with a Diana obsession.
PP's death and public, global reaction and outpouring of condolences to The Queen and for PP has had a similar effect. We saw how much Megsy tried to insert herself into the funeral proceedings.
I think they will surprise us with the baby's name.
She will definitely incorporate a version of Elizabeth or Lilibet as per your suggestion, Philip AND Diana.
The 3 people whose fame imprinted upon them in the manner of the public's response to them which the Markles didn't previously understand.
"Girl with a Hat said…
@Hikari,
I disagree. I don't think that Lady C and Lainey Lui are in the same business at all. I think Lady C is more of a historian of personal lives while Lainey Lui is a gossip monger. Lady C checks her sources and formulates opinions with the legal repercussions in mind.
She has the mind of a writer which is why she takes her time when speaking. She has an extremely good vocabulary and an encyclopedic knowledge of history. The amount of details she retains for a woman of 73 is phenomenal. She is a pleasure to listen to and she always educates me which is the ultimate compliment I can give anyone.
And she has been privy to a lot of information which she will never reveal. If only one could get her to talk.... maybe someone needs to get her drunk. ;-)

I must have misinterpreted it but to me, at first sight, it read as if you expected every oldie to be well on her way to losing her memory...
Great job on your "Cache of Clues" (love the name). I've been meaning to ask you if there is some way to follow you?
And yes on the Chelsy Davey photos. If I was his parent they would break my heart when compared to his thrall to the wicked witch of the west.
And I've never seen that particular view of FroggCott. It actually looks beautiful there.

So....who is leaking THAT information, I wonder?
What is her agenda? On one hand she is planting stories about being incredibly close to the RF, on the other she is ensuring H will never be accepted by them again.
Talk about cognitive dissonance! She needs the RF for credibility and access, yet she despises and fears them.
Also, about the celebrity baby names, I think it just proves how different they are from the rest of us, what kind of person it takes to pursue fame--they are simply not like us. Not saying this is good or bad. They have a certain drive, the drive for fame (sometimes accompanied by actual skills, sometimes not) and this drives out the everyday impulses that the rest of us have. As a very small instance, the drive to not embarrass our children.
(I'm distinguishing skilled artists from fame whores, here.)
wow, you got that from my comment? it's normal for a person as they get older to forget some details because there's only so much your brain can retain and then it starts getting rid of memories to make place for new material. It's only natural.
When I say the woman has encyclopedic knowledge of history, does that sound like I am saying that she has dementia?
Wow, again that you just managed to retain that little snippet.
I had a young woman report to me named Princesscilla.
She was the most driven, competent and personable person in the department.
Her parents expectations were rewarded in her.
But alas, nary a prince in sight.

I must say I reacted like @WBBM too. No offence. My closest friend is a neuroscientist and he has always told me that this is not the case. I know when you're revising for exams it feels like it but it's not so. The brain is still vastly mysterious - you could liken research in that field to exploring the deepest oceans. However we do know that the human brain is capable of far more than we ask of it. ;-)
In the Queen's case, there's now nobody left who calls her Lilibet and I suspect that to use it for the new babe would be seen as an impertinence and backfire - good.

"But hec, if you’re thinking about Princess you might as well go all the way and consider Queen. There are more subtle ways to accomplish this, too. Regina is the Latin word for Queen and Reina the Spanish. Rihanna is Celtic for “great queen” if you like superlatives. But if you’re stuck on Princess, then consider Sarah (Hebrew meaning “princess”). In other words, there are more clever and less obvious ways to accomplish giving your daughter a royal title without being so in-your-face. Really, ask yourself: how well does Princess age into adulthood? Perhaps this one is best left to poodles and porn stars. Or as a middle name. It’s just very risky to bestow Princess as a legal first name. You really need to be a person who doesn’t care what other people think (and so will your daughter)."
BTW - I too am sick of her but wild boar fight to the death. Spears used for boar hunting had a cross bar to stop an impaled animal working its way up the shaft to get at the hunter.
Of course, I don't wish death on her - all I ask is that she shuts up and keeps her head down. She'll be remembered as a reincarnation of Geo IV's wife Caroline:
`O gracious Queen, we thee implore
to go away and sin no more,
but if the effort be too great -
to go away at any rate.'
- attributed to an `unknown wag'
Thinking of a king who made an unwise exclamation resulting in murder, I believe H should perform a public penance for what he has said and done, before he's considered for rehabilitation.
"The king performed a public act of penance on 12 July 1174 at Canterbury, when he publicly confessed his sins, and then allowed each bishop present, including Foliot, to give him five blows from a rod, then each of the 80 monks of Canterbury Cathedral gave the king three blows. The king then offered gifts to Becket's shrine and spent a vigil at Becket's tomb."
(Wikipedia on Henry II)

@GWAH - I remembered how to find it!
I think you must on some sort of woke group who reads things to find offense about.
`O gracious Queen, we thee implore
to go away and sin no more,
but if the effort be too great -
to go away at any rate.'
That is just perfect. Basically sums up what thousands of DM readers write every day.
Caroline still reminds me of Fergie. She was like a very badly-behaved labrador whose heart was in the right place. To get rid of M we need an incantation of some kind, from the best exorcist alive in the world today.
again with the hyperbole. I never said "that we lose our mental faculties as we get older".
Another woke one on the blog, I see. Exaggerating any little word to twist it to your purposes.
Wow, you really belong on Meghan's side. Same tactics.
I'm not offended. One doesn't have to be `woke' to dislike generalisations, such as assumptions about other people based on characteristics they can't change. I'm sure you can imagine the storm had you referred to women or PsOC, instead of older people.
`All generalisations are dangerous - including this one.'
-----------------------
Glad you've studied neuroscience - I'm sure you know about cognitive reserve which one can build up over a lifetime, brain tissue being far more plastic than was once assumed.
"@KCM1212, better add some version of Harry/Henry to the list if it's centered around pet names..."

"in his early 30s" when called out, but said he was 38 (in 2020) when he was actually 39. No wonder all the plastic surgery
2. Company strike off, also referred to as Dissolution, is the process by which a Limited Company is removed from the register by Companies House. The processes effectively marks the company as non-existent for all intent and purpose)
3. Note accounts are overdue

4. Why would the office address be listed as the tack room at a holiday let farm?

What a nest of vipers
I loathe everything woke to the extent that I'm worried I'm moving to the right politically. Which I don't want to do. :-/ I don't know what is happening to the world and it's happening so fast. This is why the Sussexes are such an issue, as we all recognise on here. They are exploiting hugely powerful, unstable forces for their own ends and doing untold damage.
In fact I sometimes wish I was older as if wokedom continues unchecked, I won't want to be here any longer. It will be stop the world I want to get off time. My plan is to go further up north to the Scottish Highlands - actually one of the furthest Hebridean islands would be good - and see out my days there with no internet. Hopefully Harry's wife will finally be gone by then.
"She has a devil sitting on both shoulders, whispering to her sense of greed on the one hand and revenge on the other."
That is exactly it!
And yes on working Hs name in (Harribo?)
@GWAH &@WBBM
My mother passed away in August. My brother and I spent 13 years tending to her after her Alzheimer's diagnosis.
The tragedy was she spent her whole life taking amazing care of herself so that she would never become a burden to her children. So she lived for far longer than her age and diagnosis would have predicted.
Every time I can't think of a name of a word immediately, I panic internally.
I know not everyone diminishes mentally, but by God that feels like a miracle and a blessing
Does anyone know if the Queen still gets to approve the name if the child is born in the USA? Didn’t the Yorks try to name Beatrice Annabelle but the Queen nixed it due to association with a popular gentleman's club? Wonder if there is any recourse if they do attempt something like "Queen Angel Lily Philipa" as the childs actual name. It would only prove how desperate they are to have a royal connection and how far out of the RF circle they have been pushed out. Im betting H would demand titles immediately or go along with his wifes name is a title scheme. If the RF gave in, it would open the door for more demands that would never end.
`As a diversified farm we have over the years, restored old farm buildings creating an office park' - quite a common practice here.
ie unused farm buildings repurposed but retaining their old names.
The Tack Room has another company registered there as well, Clearbrook Marketing, also under a proposal to be struck off, also a a Scobie enterprise - William Stewart Scobie is sole person named who, IIRC ,is Omid's dad (I got that info from FreeBMD). Again, late in submitting accounts.
"Or she is just that blinded by her pathology and doesn't think she is doing anything wrong, ever. Either way a seriously aggressive and deranged way of behaving, in my opinion."
This.
This is why I am still hanging around. I can't understand her madness and I find it fascinating. It will end in an historical denouement, I think.
H does remember at least one other thing about his Mum—How the ring that his tart is endlessly coveting hurt his hand. I always thought it very odd that he would have picked, out of everything he could have chosen, the object he associated with pain. An early clue into his psyche perhaps. I have always suspected the foundation of this relationship and it’s continued toxicity is rooted in BDSM. Like many self-loathing individuals, H evidently fines some comfort/release in being abused, mentally for sure and very likely physically, including aberrant sex acts.
Uncle David very much the same.
I was actually shocked when William gave his mothers ring to Catherine. As the one who would presumably marry first, It’s usually customary that the mothers wedding jewelry go to the first born. At 15 William would’ve been slightly closer to imagining a future with marriage then 12-year-old Harry, But he had no interest in the ring then. Which is totally understandable, seeing as it symbolize such unhappiness & failed hopes for his Mum. What changed in the intervening years to make him decide that recycling the ring for his bride was what he most wanted to do? I’m glad the ring has a happy new life on its current finger and has been redeemed, but I never would have imagined that William would have wanted it. Or H either for that matter.
I’m sure the new baby name will be a huge surprise. She certainly gob smacked us with Archie Harrison.
The only question is, what kind of surprise will it be? WIll she appropriate royal names for spite, Or will she concoct Another narcissistic anagram/marketing slogan? I guess we will know in however many more weeks she decides to be pregnant before “giving birth” at mudslide manor.
Me too!
Part of me agreed but it would descend into a slanging match. The BRF needs to use its strengths and somewhat Olympian position in the world. That is beneath them as an institution.
It clearly riled M that they have not engaged with her directly. She reportedly expected than to contact her after Oprah (God knows why) and of course she feeds off upset, vulnerable people, chaos and dissension.
So I think they should go with a purely factual, unemotional, point-by-point rebuttal, as Prince Charles reportedly wanted, released to the MSM. If more lies and distortions emerge (if!) keep doing that but never, ever engage with the Sussexes themselves.
H has totally blown it now. The majority of the British people want them excised from our national life forever. So do that. Just get it done. Then just keep on with the fact-checking and debunking as needed. Only on matters of demonstrable fact however. Ignore the emotional blackmail. There's no way to beat that. They just have to leave H wallowing there. On his own.
After so publicly marrying a Prince found out he was only worth 30 million and he is a tightwad and does not have the same access to great wealth as William. Charles is also claiming poverty. She feels cheated.
I have said this before. That as an ill informed American, I thought that Hapless was next in the succession after Prince William. And that he had the same Royal status as William, but just a little bit less. If Wills is at 100% Royal status, that Hapless was at 95% Royal status. Megsy was just as ignorant and ill-informed. In my opinion.
Also that Hapless never elaborated to Megs much on his wealth tied up in trusts. Megsy assumed he was loaded with millions that could be immediately accessed. Millions that were not tied up in investments and Royal trusts. This is part of the reason Megsy took Haps to Hollyweird. To get the millions they deserved and were Royally Sussex worthy of.
Then Covid came along that screwed up their plans to cash in on their Royal titles and Royal status. If Megsy had relaxed and had bided her time for five years in England as a Royal. Then she could have made her millions off her Royalness and Harry's too. The Queen would have looked the other way, same as she did with Prince Andrew.
But Megs had to flee because the savvy Royals woke up and began to see right through her. Particularly the Cambridges, Princess Anne, then Zara Phillips with Mike Tidnall. Megs turned very paranoid with a well justified paranoia. The savvy Royals tumbled to what creature she really is.
"ret con! ret con!"
The reissue of Finding Freedom with New material is their attempt to justify and spin the Oprah interview, and Harry's relationship with his family post interview and Philip's death. And they will probably tease photos of the new baby(and that is a whole 'nuther thread).
Alexandra Shulman's op-ed In the DM of the photo of the masked Catherine probably has the staff in Montecito cleaning up broken dishes this day.
By the way, I saw Don Lemon on CNN speak disparagingly of us poor, sad people who don't know that the word 'woke' is just so over. Well it doesn't feel like it to me. Maybe we just don't know the new word for the same thing.
Must go now - Sunday dinner beckons. Have a good evening, all my fellow Nutties.
You forgot my personal favorite: Moxie Crimefighter, daughter of Penn Jillette. :D
"There is a deep sense of protection towards the Queen and resentment towards Harry," a source says. "There is little sympathy for him after what he and Meghan said on Oprah."
As a reminder, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told Oprah why they stepped down as senior royals, openly discussing the bullying, mental health struggles and racism Meghan in particular experienced. Harry also touched on his strained relationship with Prince Charles and Prince William.
The royals haven't taken much accountability for Harry and Meghan's claims in the interview, and a source says "They [the royals] are still very upset. They are putting on a united front for the Queen. They all think he has behaved appallingly."
The good news is that it appears as though the brothers are on their way to reconciling — and Harry may even change the date of his return to L.A. in order to stay for Queen Elizabeth's upcoming birthday. A source tells The Sun that “It’s early days but you’d hope this is exactly the first step Philip would have wished for,” and that “It is not known what was said behind closed doors and when the cameras were turned off," but “Harry and William appeared cordial as the cameras rolled and that seemed to pave the way for Charles to join them when everyone had left.”
H does remember at least one other thing about his Mum—How the ring that his tart is endlessly coveting hurt his hand. I always thought it very odd that he would have picked, out of everything he could have chosen, the object he associated with pain
Strange, when I read this, I immediately thought of the Kaiser's early years, his unhealthy relationship with his mother and her hands, and the underlying tensions in the relationship with his grandmother, Victoria, thanks to her emphasis on British naval superiority. Hence to the disaster of 1914-18, a war between cousins, something that I believe is often ignored in the usual list of reasons for the War.
Does Harry confuse pain with love?
- we thought about it but my husband would never go back - on the Census form he admitted to being born in Scotland but he ticked the English box in the next question. I suspect his family hasn't forgiven him for marrying an Englishwoman. We considered Berwick-u-T but couldn't face the thought of being there with the possibility of a border dispute.
It was more the age thing I was reflecting on - the feeling that I don't `belong here' any more. So much has become alien- the endless march of bricks and concrete over the countryside, the National Trust abandoning its old purposes, the Byzantine process of buying a train ticket and spending entire journeys wondering if you've got on the `wrong' train, to name but a few.

Acknowledgement goes both ways. This article neglects to state if JH was also frosty towards his extended family, his aunts and uncle. Did he say hello or acknowledge PA or her husband, or go up and say hello to PE and Sophie? Did they ignore him after he said hello? Or was there little opportunity for pleasantries due to Covid rules of seperation and organizing the timing the ceremony?
Did he go up and offer his condolences to PA and PE who lost their Father? The story neglects a lot of info and only gives a Sussex perspective of victimhood.
At this funeral, PA and PE, are the true victims with the loss of their much loved father, yet their feelings and mental health are less important than JH's ? Perhaps they were contemplating their loss, and the specticle of walking behind his casket, a difficult thing as JH should know from his history.
FF - ScoobyDoo said the FF rumor is "not-so-accurate", but does not say what is inaccurate. Something is up. Maybe an updated e-book rather than paperback? Whatever it is, people will have moved on by August and anyone with kids will be looking forward to the return of "normal" school.

If so, why is Serena still speaking out in Harry's wife's defence? Or is that bull?
I'm going with "Royal James" as the baby name. Royal to show HM she doesn't "own" the word and James because it seems to be the popular gender-neutral name in HW at the moment and that supports their agenda. It also has a lot of significance in Royal history, so how could HM refuse if she does have a say in the name. That would be the kind of "rule-bending" the wife would do. Plus, she could set up a website for merching baby clothes.

We both keep up with it. It does look nasty as it could well be a dyke swarm in process of formation - and you don't know where the next fissure will open. I hope it stops soon and doesn't turn into another Laki -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laki
The Icelandic emergency authorities are very well clued up in these matters as they get plenty of experience - it tends to be the tourists who get caught from venturing too close to hot springs in the normal course of events, or get swept away in a misjudged river crossing. It is estimated that on average 12 people a year disappear in the wilderness.
For that matter, did he ask the Cambridges or PC if they "were OK"?
Boohoo
@SwampWoman, any harder and she'd have been riding him like a wild mustang live on US Open camera. It's a short walk from showing him your hooha to what comes next-esp in her world.
@Miggy, can't remember how much Serena has defended her but wondering what little it has been was lukewarm and due to the Sunshine Sachs connection or whatever.
I don't know what can be done about making people know The Crown is fantasy.
-------------
I've never watched it but if some of it is largely fiction, then there should be a disclaimer at the start of every episode, similar to warnings about language etc.
~~~~~~~~
I really liked Downton Abbey.
@Charade
I'm not sure about Helena Bonham Carter cringing about what she had to act out in The Crown. Olivia Coleman maybe but Helena Bonham Carter has an impeccable pedigree and comes from a prominent family.
HMS Royal James was a 17th century battleship!
James I & VI flaunted his bisexuality, James II & VII was the one who was accused of the Warming Pan Baby, the Hushabye one on the Tree Top:
`..When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
Down will come baby, cradle and all.'
I look forward to the Fall of the House of Markle.

@ConstantGardener33,
SW's tweet praising MM on March 7 is still up -- "MM my selfless friend lives her life and leads by example--with empathy and compassion. She teaches me every day what it means to be truly noble. her words illustrate the pain and cruelty she's experienced" etc.
"You forgot my personal favorite: Moxie Crimefighter, daughter of Penn Jillette"

In FF, there is a stream of how the men in grey suits or the palace people don't know how to respond to a situation/crisis/problem or new idea/way of doing things proposed by the JH and his wife. The general wording is along the ideas of having the worriers clasping their hands and saying: "Oh I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do." (as opposed to the forward thinking JH and his wife as leaders in new ways to bring popularity and so on to the royalty).
So if all along you have been thinking those people aren't too smart (insert comments about being able to weave and dodge their attempts as control/stopping us from reaching our destiny or something), so now they will contact me and try to placate me since they've finally realized I have this great power/control and they are now afraid of me/what I might do with this or what else I might say.
And crickets.
She's doing everything she can to try to bring the BRF under her control, that they are weak and she is the powerful one.
So saying that she expected them to call her is really an acknowledgement of expecting them to blink first. She's telling them what she expects from them (and golly gosh, they are not cooperative which makes the whole thing get more and more upsetting because then she needs bigger/better/louder response to try to get them to respond this time (since less didn't work out as planned). All they have to do is not engage (gray rock) and she's out there farther and farther each time while they look more like what you expect: solid, reassuring and can be counted on for their stability.
August book release - well if you are looking to become a good candidate for a must take to beach read, you need to have more of a spring launch not end of summer.

"Beware of Darkness"
___________________
Sorry but I must post George Harrison's timely lyrics
[Verse 1]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles in your fingertips
Beware of darkness
[Verse 2]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night
Beware of sadness
[Bridge]
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for

Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of Maya

Watch out now, take care
Beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While Weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness (beware of darkness)
Even one's been landed with the `bad' genes there's hope:
Cut down/try to give up/don't start smoking
Get enough exercise
Try to get enough sleep
Keep the brain active - learn new skills - read demanding books - learn a new language
Eat lots of colourful vegetables (especial purple ones)
Avoid sugar
Go easy on the beige stuff (starchy food)
Keep in touch with friends.
Get hearing tested if in any doubt (social isolation is harmful.)
Look at what goes on in Loma Linda - one doesn't have to be an Adventist or vegetarian to benefit from their medical wisdom.
Ava C didn't say "I don't know what can be done about making people know The Crown is fantasy." That was me. I am pretty sure there are disclaimers but it doesn't change how art and entertainment blurs the lines of historical accuracy. It recurs throughout history. @Acquitaine mentioned that happening with Shakespeare's historical plays.
I was not talking about Olivia Coleman and Helena Bonham Carter cringing about what they had to act out on The Crown. I follow HBC and know her pedigree and that she is a consummate actress. I was talking about the cast of Downton Abbey. Many of them disliked the soap opera plot-lines and wanted to move on from the series.
no apology is needed because I did not say anything offensive except to the excessively woke seeking offense.

Oprah's praising someone's truth today.
I'll keep calling out the lies.
Jan 16:
"(Meghan) didn't want to live anymore, Harry just cradled her."
and,
"Later that day they were bound for Albert's Hall".
BUT-
Jan 16:
MM's 1st official visit to Mayhew.
"couldn't be left alone"
Another lie exposed.
I didn't mean the tinned foods - they sound synthetic to me. I meant the place not the brands.
Interesting way to view it. But she used it as an opener into a longer post about systematic oppression and victimization, and the way institutions use racism and racism to vilify women.
SS PR push to include Harry's wife in her desire to share those thoughts?
So, perhaps between the day of red freshly bruised and scraped knees of Harry's wife at the Open, and her grinning leg-raised, hoo-ha flashing show to SW's husband while there, and March 7, Harry's wife managed to convince SW that it was all a lie and she was merely escaping royal torture (see my knees? they make me kneel on rice!)-- and she had flown (without passport, driver's license or papers, by climbing out a window on a rope) to the Open to support SW (in spite of the coach saying don't come and SW's mother in the next seat, looking ready to throttle her)....and she was just trying between tears (the grin was to put off the paps, see!) to tell AO about some torture she had experienced to her upper thighs. So, maybe that is why SW is still warmly defending Harry's wife. Maybe.
I've never thought much of SW in the first place.
No, I didn't notice those other tweets!! Great discovery! Thanks for point them out -- oh oh, the loose and free people are starting to come for the truth now. OUR truth, Harry's weed, not yours!
ED: HA now my laptop replaced "wife" with "weed' -- insane, but, yah, I'm leaving it in!
"James II & VII was the one who was accused of the Warming Pan Baby"
Appropriate for a Harkle Baby!

@miggy
I love your avi, although I am equally frightened by it. Do you know where that photo came from? It could easily be used as evidence in her (hopefully) upcoming insanity hearing.

@Puds
You are such a sweetheart.
I know SW is a fabulous athlete and I respect that, tho wasn't a fan of some surly behavior at losses. But she also wants to march and make the money, has SS for that, and may not mind staying on the company brand line on SS advice ("Harry's wife is gonna be big, big! we must support her for her millions of fans!") to keep making the coins. Who knows. She might make the statements and avoid her personally. Or, yes, she swallowed the tears and doe-eyed protestations of Harry's Wife, as many others have.
During lockdown, SW doesn't have to spend time with her. We'll see what happens if/when things open back up.
`I thought that Hapless was next in the succession after Prince William.
Yes he was, for almost 30 years, from 1984-2013.
The birth of George changed everything.
He fails to see that he is only 1 of 8 grandchildren, and not the oldest or youngest or the only male.
And that the Queen has 4 children and their spouses who count ahead of any grandchildren.
He knows what it's like to lose a parent. Did he offer *any* comfort or condolence to the Queen's children? Especially to his clearly heartbroken father?
Did he ask his father if he was ok?
Thank you! I need to face this Thing head-on, I think.
@GWAH
I feel like I missed something. Did it sound like I was offended? I was not at all.
Sorry if I contributed to misunderstanding.
I hope it helps - both my parents succumbed too.
I was not talking about Olivia Coleman and Helena Bonham Carter cringing about what they had to act out on The Crown.
--------
You're right, you were talking about the cast in general, I apologise.
And you, not @AvaC, said you didn't "know what can be done about making people know The Crown is fantasy." Apologies again and apologies to @AvaC. I obviously got confused...
Wanted: constructive criticism of Sussexes
Gabriel Pogrund
Sunday April 25 2021, 12.01am BST, The Sunday Times
For a couple who profess to dislike publicity, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are spending plenty of time beefing up their media operation.
Last month Harry and Meghan hired Genevieve Roth, who worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election campaign, to develop a communications strategy for their brand as “senior strategic adviser”.
Now Roth, a self-styled “storyteller” and “movement maker”, is seeking a deputy comms director for Archewell — the Sussexes’ Beverly Hills charitable and media organisation.
According to an email sent on Thursday, Roth, a former features director of Marie Claire Australia, has quickly got the hang of Meghan-speak. “Friends, hello!” it begins, before setting out a job description that includes “working with the global press corps on a daily basis” and, erm, helping inspire “more compassionate global communities”.
There follows a phrase that will fill some with dread: “a love of giving and getting feedback”. Kensington Palace alumni need not apply.🤣
A friend's mother did an extensive study on brain health and dementia through Harvard some years ago, and she found that eating dark green leafy greens also made an incredible difference in keeping the brain sparking along, and could even help patients recover loss to some degree. My grandmother lived to 98 sharp as a tack -- was ahead of trends with a lifetime of healthy organic eating, leafy greens, mushrooms, fish, black tea, etc. A big reader, loved debating science and art, walking, seeing her friends and playing gin or bridge, with them, designing and sewing clothing. My mother and aunt took after her. All stumped their doctors and all looked considerably younger than their ages and were constantly arguing with disbelieving new nurses and doctors at check-ups: how old? Impossible! Factual recall of dates, details, sports stats, authors, quotes, astounding. Leafy greens, fish, reading the papers! Mr AnT, a huge sports fan, still cannot believe my mother's snap recall of sports data, or even details of legal cases that were in the news.
No worries. I'm glad the misunderstanding was cleared up.
LOL. I apologize. My remarks should have been directed to @Ians Girl perhaps?
I believe I am illustrating my point 😁
I'll go back to reading for a while now
@ Swamp Woman, thanks for the reference to Laki, the Wiki info and the first hand account are quite scary.
Don't thank me, Puds! That was Wild Boar Battle-maid's education! I've been asking questions of WBBM and her husband as they have been following this quite closely. I've been following various Icelandic vlogs watching the lava flow (much to the disgust of youngest grandson).
Also, we're forgetting where they live- Santa BARBARA. They also live in CALI.
Glad you are enjoying the awesome Heygo site.
I have just joined the affiliated Facebook group, Heygo Voyagers. There you can find A complete list of tour guides by country, along with their contact information. All the ones I’ve been with so far our professional guides with their own Instagram accounts. I learned from a moderator that this site was formed in June 2020, And at that time they only had five guides in five countries. Now that lockdown restrictions are easing most places, and the weather is getting nice, this is an excellent time to join. This morning I was in Oxford and then shut it over to Sorrento compliments of this platform. It’s going to Be hard to resist the urge to take ALL the tours But I do have to budget as I want to give all of my guides a gratuity. My guy in Italy got 50 tips this morning, so I think they can be lucrative if most people contribute something. The site takes 40% for operating expenses, which is probably standard industry practice. I hope this continues to grow and be a success. Everyone I’ve had so far has been really outstanding/-To native English blokes, a Frenchman and a Neapolitan, both with excellent English though charming and native accents dad to give you a real flavor of the place you are going. Bon voyage!
You know who is going to be a godmother, maybe both, as they have so few friends.
sorry about that. I don't want you to stop commenting on my account.
As in all human interactions, there are power plays occurring on this blog. And, invariably, the intelligent ones with something interesting to contribute are pushed aside by the more dominant ones whose purpose is to subjugate others. One way of doing this is to find fault in something, and then demand an apology. This puts people on the defensive, always wary of what they write, in the effort not to displease the aggressive people. I just do not want to be watching what I write because I might displease someone if they interpret it in their own personal way.
So, please, don't feel you're not 100% welcome here as well as your contributions. Everyone is.
The poppy is the California state flower, so what about Poppy for a name? Poppy Arie?
Also, we're forgetting where they live- Santa BARBARA. They also live in CALI.
I was thinking more Kali.
I'm feeling increasingly besmirched reading about those two. Reading about Catherine makes me want to get up on time, brush my hair, look my best, get some exercise and be with my family. Reading about the Sussexes makes me feel as if I've been wallowing in the gutter and I don't quite know what day it is. Or which way is up.
********************
I feel the same way, slightly battered and forced to see, read, hear about them constantly. You can't get away from them. That's why I'm not posting as much. They've taken all of the oomph out of me, like the exhausted mother of two-year-old twins.
Can a group of people (Nutties) sue for intentional infliction of emotional pain?
My suggestion of a future topic for this blog is how many rumors about MM have been proven true or have substance behind them. I'm thinking of the bullying claims, her tendency to falsehoods, her insatiable need for attention and probably adoration.
I love your avi, although I am equally frightened by it. Do you know where that photo came from? It could easily be used as evidence in her (hopefully) upcoming insanity hearing.
LOL - It sure is scary! 😄😅😆
I found it on Google images when I was searching for something the other day.
I took another look just now... and this time I clicked on the actual link which takes you to a much larger version of the photo on Pinterest. (it says it was saved from ibtimes. com)

My cover letter for the exciting Harkle team job:
PART ONE:
Hello Citizen Roth! Friend, hello!
As someone who has admired your storytelling and movement making since two weeks ago (I just love comedy actors! You are amazing! Even in those clothes, and that hair! I mean, brave!), I would love to say a big "I'm a total Genevieve fangirl welcome!" to the idea of becoming a disciple to my duchess Our Queen and her ginger husband and her newest little assistant (you, right? don't unpack, haha! that's a Palace joke) in the Branding role of “senior strategic adviser”!
Nothing says "charity" to me like Beverly Hills, so I am all over this! I love Champagne, shrimp bruschetta and town cars! Did I mention I know (like "know" like, Soho "know"!) a cute guy who had dinner with philanthropist billionaire G----- S----? He knows the Queen, wink! See, I can be super duper discreet, too!
Your job description mentions “working with the global press corps on a daily basis” and inspiring “more compassionate global communities”. I think this is brilliant! The Globe runs the funniest stories about alien babies and that giant Elvis kitten, and it's got to be the perfect place to start dropping stuff about how our Real Queen was the actual first child of HM's 1940s eggs, but was kept frozen as an embryo by Walt Disney in a Wedgwood dessert bowl until 1981, so she is actually first in line before Chuck! (See, I even get the whole of idea of going with "1981" and not "1977" and I know the guy in LA who has the original 1977 BC he found in a box of bongs and nudes when he bought Doria's old storage unit and he is wiling to make that go away wink wink, so aren't you glad you are hiring me? And not just another redundant Marie Claire worker? Not that's there's anything wrong with working with the glossy magazine trade selling leg wax and sweatshop-made bra dresses and pretending it's a mission! Am I right?)
So I notice that you need “a love of giving and getting feedback”. Awesome! I am not afraid!
I once broke up a dog fight ring in Berlin! I also won ribbons in bow-and-arrow marksmanship. Then there was this thing in a sailors' bar in Copenhagen with a wanted guy carrying a head in a burlap sack and Interpol cops! So what I mean to say, the comments of a short-ish former hooker who's sensitive about her wigs, false teeth and major wrinkles and no-career thing are going to be harsh, we expect that, right? Kewl!
PART TWO of my cover letter
Her life is falling apart in front of the world really, one dumb move after another, lol! Plus her wardrobe kind of sucks, and then she is scraping down to bringing in someone like you who is also struggling for the lens, so to speak, so yah, the heat is going be high as you two eventually slap-fight when your repressed envy spurts out into the workplace now and then, and after all you are very white from your photos and she can one-up you there in a hot minute, am I right? So you are going to be in a very tense spicy time in your work life, so, yah.
But that is okay, because again, I am not afraid of such things!
And god,I really love giving feedback! And let's be frank, Our Queen has become kind of a global joke, so people in media are making these super funny memes about you taking the job and thinking you can do something with "all that" but I know you've seen those, and heard the comments about what a pit-bottom job this is working for desperate people who blew the bag in prime time and now are scratching for money, firing and bullying people etc! I mean, Oprah! Chickens! Pretend mansion! But I think you are brave to step onto this rowboat risk it all! It must be like being Nicholas Cage's manager? Yow!
I am just saying, I can totally give them and you some feedback and guide you all away from bullying, drugs, using the fake kid, the fake bumps, biting each other and this super embarrassing ragging on a nice old grandmother, all of which will help them look better super fast! Genevieve, can I call you Gen R,c seem like the desperately climbing, cunning puff adder type too, so my guess is you won't be able to address this stuff with them. No worries, mate, I can do it, not least because I am 5'9" and Danish, Try me, eh? ha!
My salary requirements will be two million dollars for three months, since you are all a box of nonstrategic, unoriginal embarrassing berks, but I will clean up the mess spit-spot, Gen R, so you can keep writing your own quite silly blog and get out of there with both arms when you write your tell-all. Did I mention my friend Jack in Hong Kong is a global world-class top email hacker? Capice? Call me!
Your super friend, Etc.
"You could obviously tell she knew this was a job for life and that you definitely didn't need to hit the ground running with all the risk of you falling flat on your face."
"And while other couples may have succumbed to the pressure, Prince William and "Catherine the Great" have simply gone from strength to strength."
If Hazbeen ex future wife have read this, she must feel as if she's in the middle of the Amazon rainforest with all the shade.
LOL - That's priceless! 😅
LOL!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
How perfect! I'm glad you admit to only signing up for 3 months! No one ever seems to last very long with those two.
Love this part:
...I even get the whole idea of going with "1981" and not "1977" and I know the guy in LA who has the original 1977 BC he found in a box of bongs and nudes when he bought Doria's old storage unit...
Citizen Roth will just love you!
Actually, I wonder how long Citizen Roth will last herself...perhaps she will be the one able to withstand the Megalo's theatrics and abusive behavior.🤣
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
The Kraken will wake, the cradle will fall,
Down will come Harry, Markle and all.
Kali is the Hindi goddess of destruction isn’t she? It’s Markle’s secret supervillain name.
Miggy’s new avatar is from the evening she turned up at Invictus and H looked like he had just shat himself in the stands. She stood there glaring like a demon risen up from hell like that (note the shrobed and Merched leather jacket. The skybox pictures were after this.
The next day, she goes from Vengeful Fury/Sometime lay that he had completely forgotten to invite or order tickets for to smiling GF Clinging to him courtside, the center of all eyes, merging her dirty scuffed leather flats and wolverine accessorized jeans. Something major went down in that skybox meeting, and I don’t think it was a Declaration of true love from Harry.
These to hate each other, visibly. They aren’t even pretending anymore with PDA, Apart from staged baby photos. They are chain together in their dark purpose, and only day really know the full extent of the clandestine filth that binds them. They are both going to hell, just not soon enough to suit me.
Could this be a new FF release to combat whatever that author is going to say about them? Remember, she tried to get FF out earlier to counteract Lady C's book?
************************************
To those who asked about publishing new info in book form so quickly. I know an author of several books (fiction and non-fiction), and a major upset (new info) happened about a month before his latest non-fiction book was released to the public.
He was able to write an afterword to the book to include the new info just a few weeks before publication. So, it can be done, but I don't think that Scoobie has that clout with his publisher.
😊
Thank you!
@Miggy
Check this out! Different outfit but its almost identical. From the Invictus hijacking of H.
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/337347828328556787/
I can't believe security wasn't called.
This must be her wasted look. Yikes!
Kali is a great one! She always wanted to be a Kardashian! LOL!
@Hikari
So sorry, I answered before I read all the comments.
Miggys image is in a different outfit. Photoshopped perhaps?
Thanks for the answer.
And I joined the HeyGo FB group. Thanks for that tip, too.
That cover letter!!!
So funny! I loved Disney's wedgewood bowl, the Globe stories and Nick Cage's manager particularly.
Thanks for laugh!
😂😂😂😂😂
That photo is just frightening. She could be a cautionary tale for drug addiction with that photo. "This is your brain on drugs,' then splat an egg into a frying pan. Remember that anti-drug ad?
.mentalfloss.com/article/500800/most-famous-anti-drug-ad-turns-30-any-questions#:~:text=In%20it%2C%20actor%20John%20Roselius,“This%20is%20drugs.
Forget the egg, just use that photo of her. It would scare anybody straight.
@KMC1212,
That photo is just frightening. She could be a cautionary tale for drug addiction with that photo. "This is your brain on drugs,' then splat an egg into a frying pan. Remember that anti-drug ad?
Oooh, oooh! (waving hand wildly) I remember! I'm *assuming* (yeah, I know) that she's going for the smoldering sexy look but, instead, it looks like the booking photo of a drunken or drugged driver.
Yes, I was thinking of the Kali of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". They took a few (okay, a LOT) of liberties with the portrayal of Kali.
Great cover letter! Thanks! I needed a good laugh today.
@Swampwoman,
I don't think she cares at all about the religious aspect of godparents, but it sure would help cement a life-long relationship with the boss woman, Oprah. She needs Oprah far more than Oprah needs her. Oprah and Gayle are all she's got at this point.
I can just hear her pleading with Oprah that "little "Diana Oprah" misses her "beloved" (see what I did there) godmother, and please bring expensive gifts while you're at it."
The older this child gets, the closer The Claw will get to the expensive clothes and jewelry that Oprah can provide.
Of course, she will also be thinking of what Oprah could provide to little "Diana Oprah" in her will. She obviously forgets what little Diana Oprah would have if she had remained with the BRF in the UK. Even Oprah doesn't have the jewelry and art and property that the BRF has. Oprah could provide her with a crown, but it will never be a royal crown. I could buy a crown, too, and it wouldn't mean a thing, except that I was foolish with money.
I know, right? "Hit the ground running" was lobbed right back at Hazbeen's ex future wife's face that it must still be stinging.
Thanks for the shout-outs re my satellite blog!
**@Kate
It’s also interesting to look at photos of Harry from just prior to meeting MM for a reminder of how much he has changed - there is such a distinctive difference in his whole demeanor. I find his detachment and the changes in his personality to be very interesting from a psychological viewpoint. I will add some links to my blog to illustrate the differences via photographs of pre-and-post-Markle Harry.🤔
**@Mom Mobile
Glad you found the Hot💋Rob file – he has his place in this story, doesn’t he? I have more to add there too.
I also remember the rumor about MM not wanting him to talk to Chelsy anymore and yes that could have been why she was crying! If you know where that old tea is please let me know. I do recall that they supposedly spoke over the phone prior to the wedding and I thought there was some regret between them.
I put two articles in the file on them, one of which is from late 2015 discussing how they attempted to get back together again. H met M only a few months later in 2016.
Also yes she and Cressida Bonus were NOT invited to the evening ceremony - just like many of his old friends and some of his very pretty cousins like Lady Amelia Windsor!
I think MM turned Harry’s mind inside and out with talk about his mother, the royal family, her supposed victim status, etc and he is completely enmeshed in the claws of her control in a constant discombobulated state.
**@KCM1212
I may be the only one but I quite like FrogCott! I guess it may because I just love anything that is old and has history. That photo you asked about is an early one of the building – from the 1870’s! I have a lot of info on FC but haven’t had a chance to put it together online yet.
I don’t know how to do some of the tasks on the blog yet – including 'following'. I have the comments turned off as I’m not sure how I want to utilize it all at this point just yet. I have gotten a lot of ‘hits’ from all over the world though. Maybe Nutties can help me eventually figure out what to do with this satellite blog.
I have your post on Morton's book on my blog - you can find the blog by clicking on my avatar. Your post is in the 'library' file where I also have some info on Sam's diary, a bit on Finding Freebies, and eventually I will include some good excerpts from Lady C's book on Markle.
Thanks again for letting me use it....
😍😍😍
I'm a little (a LOT) conflicted about replacing it; I used to have customers call me ALL THE TIME and now that I don't have customers, I'm happy with being out of touch. My husband will call me 10 times an hour to see when I will be home, then doesn't understand why I don't *ever* turn on my phone, as do my friends (grin). My grandchildren want me to have a "normal" phone like everybody else so that I can carry them with me in my pocket wherever I go. Sounds a bit horrifying.
If anybody wants to give me tips on a cheap* cell phone with a good camera (just in case I see Harry with somebody not his first ex-wife) and a built in hotspot that can withstand being dropped on an asphalt road or cement driveway, left on a hot dash, dropped in the ocean (yeah, I've horked a couple that way) and otherwise abused, let me know.
*Cheap because I kill (or lose) electronic things quickly. My last *good* smartphone lasted three whole days before I tossed it on the dash in the summer to take a grandchild out of a car seat and then forgot it. (Bowing head and covering heart in memory.)
Miggys image is in a different outfit. Photoshopped perhaps?
She looks soooo drugged! Or maybe dragged... through a bush backwards? 😂
The face on both pics is identical... but going by skin tone of face versus neck, it very much looks like the one that I posted is photoshopped.
Hahahaha - the 'ex future wife' must be raging! What I wouldn't give to be a fly on one of their walls right now! 👂
I keep my cell phone off all of the time, too. I just check it once a day.
I'm old enough that I remember the good old days when you weren't expected to do a command performance every time the phone rings. I don't even have texting on my phone, as I hate that, too. My friends can't understand it and have begged me to at least text. Noooo! Just give me a pen and paper. Maybe I should live on some deserted island?
One of my journalism profs once said that most writers hate to talk, as they are more interested in the words than the subject of the conversation. I fit that bill perfectly.
I've found a leather cell phone case that I just love, and it really protects my iPhone SE from being dropped, scratched, cracked, etc.
I bought it in bottle green with my initials in rose gold, and I always get compliments on it.

Well, on March 8, 2021, writer Celia Walden noted in the Telegraph that "MM deserves an Oscar for that performance" adding that "Were the D of S to be nominated, there was a wealth of material to choose from to showcase her talent."
Unfortunately, the powers that be failed to nominate her for her Academy Award. And thus, she will fail to take home this year's very special Oscars gift bag for nominees, worth $205,000 (according to Forbes).
What's in the bag:

Glad to provide a laugh to break our blues over the Harkles never ending saga.
I also agree with you that naming the baby "Oprah Diana" or some combo thereof would be a very likely thing for the money-hungry, cunning wife of Harry to do. One way she can try to secure extra $ down the bumpy road.
Glad that you could use my post on your blog. I think the article beneath mine has so much to say about how interested the Harridan was in Diana's life and that of the BRF before she met H, much more than I've read anywhere else.
Thanks for all of your hard work!
LG Rebel 4 is good enough for me and inexpensive. So if you drop it and ruin it no big deal. But comes locked onto TracFone. I got it when I joined TracFone/ I see the Rebel 4 has a newer version, larger screen etc, called the LG K31™ Rebel ($49) with Tracfone too...... Tracfone LG Rebel 4 is at $10 for a reconditioned one. WARNING! Do not get Rebel 2 or Rebel 3 that still sell on ebay.
You can see both Rebel phone's reviews at Amazon and at the Tracfone site https://shop.tracfone.com/shop/en/tracfonestore/phones
Simple Mobil and Total wireless are similar to Tracfone and also sell locked LG Rebel 4 with their service plans
Great excerpt— Harry and his wife will be steaming. Such golden, targeted snark!

Also, new money pool: for £1 guess the Godparents! I'm going with Serena, Oprah, The Obamas. But will we ever really know because we still don't know "Archie"'s godparents for sure.
And will they also refuse a title for the little girl? Because, awkward, if they deem her "Lady" when Archie is just "Master"? Lady is justified because she is the daughter of an Earl but my cocker spaniel was named Lady so I have mixed feelings about that one.
OK! But I'm wearing this: https://beelementalstore.com/products/princess-diana-tiara?_pos=141&_sid=ee9a3c7e5&_ss=r
I think all of us should do a meet-up somewhere, and everybody can wear this:

She just shrugged and said "Oh, is that still on? No, there were no movies this year that I thought were worthy of any awards. Stupid awards, maybe."
I told her that I'd completed a questionnaire as to whether I would be watching the Oscars using *her* Facebook account. My answer was something along the lines of "I would watch only if I heard that it was nuked with a low-grade nuclear weapon." Then I informed her that I had seen a trailer for a Bollywood movie that looked interesting. She said that the HBO max series "The Nevers" was a steampunkish sci fi, so I would probably enjoy it. *Nothing* that we had watched, enjoyed and recommended to friends and family was on a network channel or a Hollywood product.

I had a dream last night that I tried to get a private audience with HM by going through the courtiers. The topic of conversation would be Harry. 😂😂😂 I probably need to get back to my real life. Honestly, why do we care??
Probably because we can all identify with having batsh*t crazy dysfunctional family members?
