I've often asked myself why I first got interested in Sussex watching.
I think it was because it was so obvious to me that Meghan was a fraud and a fake, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't obvious to everybody.
In particular, why did both the celebrity media and the legitimate press so loudly adore Meghan? Why did they applaud her shabby wedding with its ill-fitting gown and tumbledown cake? Why didn't they notice her changing bump sizes in their own photos?
Over time, the celebrity media's reason for cooperation became understandable - they were being either pressured or paid by Sunshine Sachs, although it's still not clear to me who is funding Sunshine Sachs or why. And the legit press wanted to avoid being too harsh on the "first Black princess."
Since the release of the "Lilibet Diana" name, however, things seem to be changing.
Left-wing outlet loses patience
"Meghan and Harry's baby name Lilibet, Queen Elizabeth's nickname, is at best tone deaf" wrote NBCNews' THINK feature section on Monday after the name was released.
THINK is proudly left-wing: one of its previous articles was titled "Meghan and Harry experienced discriminatory gaslighting. Here's how you can tell."
But even its editors seem to have lost patience with Meghan.
Palace speaks out
Today's scuffle with the BBC and Palace sources on one side and the Sussexes on the other is another sign of changing times.
The BBC, citing palace sources, says the Queen was not consulted about the use of her childhood nickname "Lilibet"; the Sussexes and their expensive lawyers Schillings (and who is paying for them?) insist that she was.
Given the Sussexes' record, most people seem inclined to believe the BBC, the Martin Bashir story aside.
Does Baby Lilibet even exist?
As many readers of this blog have pointed out, there's not any evidence at this point that baby "Lilibet" even exists.
No photos have been released; neither has a birth certificate. A California hospital has been named as tje site of the birth, but they cannot speak out because of medical privacy laws. (There's also a good chance it has some ties to Sunshine Sachs.)
@Torontopaper1, which has had some previous "scoops" about the Sussexes, suggests that this is a case of a surrogate baby who has not yet been born. A
Tumblr blogger has posted images that suggest that photos of Meghan's various "bumps" in two different sizes were actually taken on the same day.
How tempting it must be at Kensington Palace or even Clarence House to release some information (or give the media the green light to release it) that would expose the Sussexes for who they really are.
Comments
It's in response to "Maryslittlelamb" who posted a screen shot, seemingly of Angela Levin's Twitter account, reading, "I hear Meghan and Harry are in trouble for not coming up with the goods for Spotify. See The Sun tomorrow." It's accompanied by another graphic of the piece of text that's been posted in a couple places about one of their contracts: MM's verbally abusing low-end staff, having an affair, jhow o one wants to have anything to do with them, etc.

She [Angela Levin] deleted it right after posting it. Before she deleted her tweet people screenshotted it. Maybe you can go on twitter and ask her why she deleted the tweet. Or wait two hours to see if the news was embargoed (which could be why she deleted her tweet. Posted too early) or you can wait until tomorrow and see if the Sun posted about Meghan, Harry, and Spotify.
It's just come out in The Sun:

LOL at the thought of Markle with Gates! I can't picture them as a couple but I can certainly imagine her doing everything she can to put herself within his orbit. I wouldn't be surprised if this blind is true and I'm happy he apparently didn't fall for her faux humanitarian act - yet!🤣

Re Oprah's social media and whether she is still supporting the Harkles...
I did a little more research today and I think the only way that CDAN blind could be true is if it only includes Twitter and if there were just a small number of Tweets possibly about the baby that were deleted.
**Enbreth - thanks so much for supplying the links I asked for - I was able to open them. They seem to be located on what looks like Oprah's new version of her online magazine.
I see that the one about Kate and 'Lily' does include a mention of the early childhood project within the article. But I still think it's significant that Kate's accomplishments were not reported on the Instagram post - only the part of the story that serviced the Harkles was included!
The second story - the one about the naming of the Sussex baby is very pro-Harkles. The author does not even mention the statements made by palace sources and it appears they are ignoring them. I guess Oprah has decided, since she is a queen herself you see, that anything not coming from the palace is not valid unless it is in formal written form! She is manipulating the story and public opinion to further the Harkle agenda.
⭐⭐Yesterday I had made the distinction that Oprah was promoting the Harkles more as a couple rather than just Meghan but I found out today that I was mistaken...she's promoting everything about both of them.
I did a search on Oprah's online magazine for articles on Meghan Markle and there were a great deal of them including the most recent which boasts about her bench book on the NY Times bestseller list!
I don't think Oprah has backed away from the Harkles despite the dance she did to get out of godmother duties. It very well could be that she responded in that way because she knows there is no actual child!
IMO her social media and that online magazine reveal she is hawking them and siding with them against the royal family. I think her racism narrative is too important to her to back off.
Here is a link to all the articles promoting just Markle alone. There are 395 results!!!
https://www.oprahdaily.com/search/?q=meghan+markle
And here is the result of a search for articles on Prince Harry which returned 575 results!
https://www.oprahdaily.com/search/?q=prince+harry
I believe OW has posted on insta or tweeted at least once for each of these articles including links to reach them.
Note - Oprah has several Twitter and Instagram accounts - a general one, another for her book club, one called Oprah Daily, yet another for her magazine, and one associated with OWNtv!
🤪😨😲🤪😨😲🤪
Streaming giant bosses were “looking forward to a full-scale launch of shows” this year.
This seems to really support that, "A little birdy told me" piece of text. And we're finally getting some numbers for their business deals!
I couldn't figure out why they seemed to be emphasizing that they were taking so much parental leave because it didn't make them look good. But this would explain it. They were trying to lessen Spotify's expectations of them for this calendar year at least.
I don't think Oprah has backed away from the Harkles despite the dance she did to get out of godmother duties. It very well could be that she responded in that way because she knows there is no actual child!
I think she knows MM used a surrogate, but I think she danced out of the godmother role because she thought she'd be expected to give money for the child.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most British aristocrats start trust funds for their children shortly after birth? So the fund grows as the children grow?
"The question might be asked whether they have too much on their plate.”
🙄
Maybe they aren't even together. Harry went on Dax podcast when they could have just as easily did same thing for their own Spotify. Or maybe they got iced out after disastrous debut. Very lazy. M is a hustler surprises me she has nothing of substance going on when H has 2 jobs 🙄🙄
Oprah released her pick for her book club today. Thought maybe that was cause of chatter as to why they were at odds. Jen just posted fresh links I have yet to check out, seems they are ok,hmm. How likely is it M approached O with the Bench?
🤣🤣
Who proofread that? Harry? 😒 .Havent been around ,trying to catch up!

So great to have you back 😃👏!
So, does anyone else remember that story that has been popping up since Fall 2020 — I fact I swear we had it posted in a previous thread here within the last two months — the alleged deal that Oprah allegedly made with Megs in early 2020 was money, support and stuff like endorsements as allegedly needed in exchange allegedly for two key things:
1. Their first sit down television interview in the US as a couple would be with Oprah in prime time with dirt ✔️
2. Megs‘ exclusive tell-all interview when they divorce is with Oprah in prime time with dirt
Allegedly.
I can allegedly say this rumor has allegedly been making the rounds on the coasts quite allegedly firmly among industry sorts allegedly but do your own research 😀

Blogger Curiously said...
This is the full tumblr post that was summarised in the dm comment posted by @agwah
A little LA industry birdy here with some tea.
My mother works somewhat high up in a company connected to the Sussexes and the tea is that they are about to be dropped by this company for lack of content, basically working with the enemies, lack of professionalism and for their recent actions. They were never paid mega bucks and the money that was given to them they are now being asked to hand back as they haven't fulfilled their contractual obligations and commitments. Meghan is well known to be furious, turned up screaming at lower end staff and some in management but also that Harry is a petulant man child with anger issues of his own, having forced an intern into therapy after abusing her in a phone call. Nobody in the company wants anything to do with them. The Sussexes are
desperate to be kept on though but nobody is buying Meghan's fake sickly sweet bribes at all. According to my mother it's true that there was a surrogate as well because she saw Meghan visiting, without a mask on and she definitely wasn't pregnant and my mother has four children & was a surrogate for my aunt who couldn't carry herself, noticed that ASAP. So yeah expect in the next few months to hear of mon issues, abuse of staff in the company and the complete lack of professionalism to start coming out. Some of my mother's other higher ups are expecting a divorce announcement too, apparently Meghan has been getting very close with someone higher up.
Excellent repost of @Curiously’s “little birdie” content.
Yup.
No really, you have to go to Amazon and listen to a sample of Markle reading the Bench for the audio version. It will take just a few seconds.
They only include the first couple of lines but I swear that woman even SOUNDS smug and pretentious, vain and inauthentic. I particularly can't stand how she softens her voice when speaking the word "baby"! Ugh! She is so caught up in herself....
https://www.amazon.com/The-Bench/dp/B093QF65PB/ref=pd_rhf_cr_p_img_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=P26KM7ZR8RR18BN773SW
🤮🤮🤮
I think you’ve summed that all up perfectly. She is here to save Mayhew with her £10, and make sure compliant fathers their sons grow up to be pushed around and clawed by their manager-wives, and change the world by dividing it in every possible way: color, gender, nationality, politics, wealth, privilege, and gifted titles versus commoners who bow and send A money. Splintered families can’t compare notes as we do here, mmmm? All this, from one awkward little book someone is determined to push.
@Henrietta,
Excellent repost of @Curiously’s “little birdie” content.
Thanks. I don't remember the other comment you referred to about Oprah's deal with MM. Maybe JennS will.
It’s painfully laughable isn’t it? But I am sure she will win a Grammy for it.
Maybe they can make a film! There can be no more important and pivotal book. Society is saved. From the loins of the pandemic. Etc.
I think even her rescue chickens sleep with one eye open and hide their feed.
The Bench is about the emasculation of Prince Harry and the New World Order - Markle style!
@AnT
I remember posting a list of benefits I thought the Harkles gained by associating with Oprah - is that what you are thinking of? I recall at the time you said we should remember the list.
It included:
-Gayle King's influence in getting Harry the Florida speaking gig.
-A ride on a gigantic private jet escaping Canada just as the borders were locking up. (Jet supplied by OW's good friend Tyler Perry.)
-Several free months of living at a massive estate owned by a friend of OW's - TP.
-Possible shelter in one of OW's guesthouses and mansions that are attached to her 70 acre estate.
-Unlimited promotion via OW and GK's social media and magazines.
-Harry's mental health series
-the big 'interview' that allowed her to spread her "truth" and send missiles at the RF.
-Backing from BLM / the racism claims
-O and G's work in spreading the racism and other victimization narratives via various media (GK's morning show etc).
That's all I can think of right now but I believe I'm missing a couple...these are just benefits that I recognized. I don't know if there was a deal made.
-full paid security while staying at TP's
-the air of having a rich, famous and influential benefactor in Oprah - provides them with a certain status and layer of protection.
I think Megs must have smashed every dish within a 50-mile radius immediately upon seeing Kate with Potus and Flotus!
🤣🤣🤣
I think MM actually got Oprah to believe that Kate did not treat her well. I really think O bought some of M's stories.
Just spotted on Newzit (flashed up on DM site). They claim PC is stripping H of titles & forcing him to divorce the wife.
A likely story! Where do they get their `facts' from? Out of a bottle of something potent?

This is medieval torture. I feel trapped in the burning fire of the Holy Inquisition.
Good list. Will try to do more digging for that Oprah comment I mentioned tonight.
Here is another reason I could imagine Oprah still clinging on, though not fooled. This is only my speculation.
1. My basic idea: they have no brains or filter. And are clowns who engage in terrible antics people will still glance at. They will keep spewing in anger and Oprah can tell, so she thinks she may as well lock in the good stuff for her show....so they may still be worth a little cash if they keep spilling on her show. Ratings and ad dollars, not love. But now the Queen threw a royal,wrench into that plan so Oprah Is waiting as Megs and Harry are reviewing safe ways to throw more darts. Even if they blow it, and harm themselves, Oprah gets paid and can always shrug like a rich cold mountain of billionaire disdain. Oprah sees that no one watches, she dumps them. But for now...
2. My crazier idea: What if they think she could be useful as a potential First Spouse beard for some future candidate they hope to push? We see her as a mess but maybe her backers still see her as famous thus viable? As a First Spouse she could possibly still keep a title even after a divorce, yet be near a big chair? It would be her logical step up from H, because no one will ever vote for her directly. So.....A contract marriage for someone wanting a top spot who needs a big-name biracial wife who is also an abuse survivor, author and international humanitarian and “businesswoman”. Probably will be Honorary Dr Duchess Megs by then. It’s a dumb idea as she is a loose cannon, but....Oprah can again make money from the campaign interviews alone.
🤣😂 ....right?
@Jenns, its interesting Oprah has stayed so quiet knowing now that Megs lied or exaggerated, or said things that could never be proved.
..............
I know, right!?
Oprah got a lot of negative feedback on social media after the interview with people shaming her and asking if she planned to address all the falsehoods and outright lies told on the show - but she has not owned up to anything. Instead she is still supporting and promoting them.
Do you have any idea how much Oprah could be getting out of the Apple series she did w/ Harry? And is that series going to continue? I think O likes having Diana's son under her "protection".
If you look at the subject matter of all the stories O has promoted on those links I provided above, you can see how she has cultivated a carefully crafted narrative that promotes the Sussexes and includes anti-monarchy and racism victimization references. Yet at the same time, she makes sure to still draw a connecting line from the Harkles to the RF in order to perpetuate and enable monetization of the monarchy.
________________________________________________________________
@Henrietta
There are a lot of intriguing snippets coming out - it will be interesting to see where they go.
I'm finding Angela Levin's involvement in some of the intrigue to be particularly notable since she wrote a biography on Harry and knew him before he was brainwashed and lobotomized.
It is like being offered a choice between a piece of chewing gum (Bench) or a chef-made speciality dish (Hold Still).
ViacomCBS paid Oprah between $7 and $9 million in licensing fees for the Harry and Meghan interview. Then ITV paid CBS £1.4 million to air it. Etc.
Oprah is said to have been given “multimillions” for the Apple series. Per Holly Evans in the Express on May 21.
Mermaid that will sing as he drowns.
Excellent theories!
And I'm wearing my favorite fancy tin hat in honor of Ascot.😂👒
I'm ready for anything - but I can't stand the thought of her anywhere near the WH so we better step up our campaigns!
Although I believe O fell for some of their crap like the Kate stories, I agree O is not completely fooled. I'm sure she and/or her staff read the replies on her SM and see what everyone has been writing - she basically got a crash course in all Harkle Nonsense via those replies.
I'm getting tired and have to close up for the night but just wanted to tell you I found out that Rob Lowe had Oprah as a guest on his podcast last month. Listened to some of it yesterday and Rob said Oprah has got to be "the most beloved American"..........and my heart broke! Yuck!
Also Oprah said this which I think we've heard her declare before:
"When people show you who they are, believe them the first time".
I wonder why she hasn't SEEN Markle yet - she's certainly showed her ass 100 times over??
..............................
@Karla
LOL at the torture!
Did you listen to her? It's actually very funny.
I can't believe how much phoniness that woman oozes from every angle possible...her mannerisms, her facial expressions, her affected posing and way of walking, her eyes constantly swiveling for the camera, her VOICE!
😱😱😱😱
He said he made these trade deals because he had to. If he and Meghan were really getting such amounts, their complaints about Charles wouldn't have happened.think these deals were in part a public relations ploy to show the world what a successful brand they are.
Jenns You described Meghan very well. She is a sugar cane plantation.
How we know that Harry and Meghan lie: when they open their mouths.
AnT Meghan will open the Red Sea with her tail. (Meghan, book of saints, verse 1)
I have to confess this group does me a lot of good.❤️❤️ Thank you all. Hugs.
one more thing....
Do you know if the apple mental series is going to continue? If O is planning on more 'seasons' of "me you can't see" or whatever it was called, then that would be a reason to coddle them yet. I also think O likes having Harry in her menagerie.
Also on your theory about more explosive content to squeeze out of the Harkles - I'm sure there is plenty that O could capitalize on. I can think of plenty of ideas myself but will not write them here - don't want to give them any ideas!!!🤣😂🤣
She could certainly mine the Diana storyline quite a bit.
The RF needs to step up further and involve legal help if they haven't done so already. IMO there is still room for plausible deniability for the Firm regarding the potential scams that may have been pulled.

Re HOTROB & OPRAH,
Well, he is a nice guy and the unofficial mayor of Montecito so maybe he finds it expedient to be super Hollywood nice to get along and doesn't worry about it. I know a few people who find it "easier' to glide through life "thinking the best of" people. I find it kind of disingenuous and smarmy in certain cases, but, Hollywood probably drums in a lot of behaviors by the time you are his age. Plus, though his father is a tough attorney, he is nice in real life too. I was in a city visiting friends a few years ago and stopped to buy some books for their kids and randomly helped a handsome tanned, salt-and-pepper-haired well-dressed man find three kids books on his list (the store was overcrowded with holiday shoppers needing help, staff was busy, so he asked me if I could help him, so I did. Super nice. He bought his books and thanked me, he left and I checked out a few moments after and the clerk said to me, "Oh do you know him? Oh isn't he the nicest man! He is always so polite and kind when he comes in, we just love him -- and did you know he is Rob Lowe's dad?" So maybe just being nice to everyone is his thing since childhood, even with Oprah.
I've had many good laughs while reading here!
😂😂😂
@JennS,
I remember hearing they (Oprah and Harry) were taping ten to twelve programs for their mental health series.
I have to get sleep but you made me burst out laughing -- " a sugarcane plantation"!! And parting the Red Sea with her tail!!
Brilliant!!!! Thank you -- it has been a long stressed two days and this was a great laugh I needed!!
This is so exactly IT too -- you wrote:
If Meghan and Harry get as much money from these projects as they claim Harry would not have said in the interview that he was living on Lady Diana's inheritance.
He said he made these trade deals because he had to. If he and Meghan were really getting such amounts, their complaints about Charles wouldn't have happened.. <--- I mean, this this this all day long. How do people not see this??
Good points about Rob.
I remember you told me about his father - I was just thinking of that story the other day. I had said that Rob Lowe in Montecito was like Kevin Bacon and his six degrees. And you told the book store story. I've seen his Dad with Rob in a video - he's a nice-looking old man!
Rob said something interesting in the Oprah tape - she was asking him about growing up as such a good-looking boy. Most actors are narcissistic to some degree but I like Rob's version of Narc - it comes with a good degree of self-awareness, self-deprecation and a lack of real vanity. He just seems to have a sort of practical attitude about how he looks. He wouldn't be able to do those humourous cable commercials that make him look wacky if he was seriously vain.
But anyway - He told Oprah that when he was a young boy/teenager he wasn't good-looking - he was beautiful...and it was a problem. He said he was too feminine in appearance and people bullied him and called him gay. I do agree that he was too pretty when he was younger but he grew out of it as he matured. His discussion about this was interesting. But it didn't last long as Oprah took the conversation back to her favorite topic - herself. That woman sure can go on and on talking about herself.
Do you know what each program is equal to? Does one program = one episode? They have done 5 episodes for the series - are they going to do 5-7 more episodes? Or is each program a series of 5 episodes? lol!
No matter the PR, I think these two live in their self-made Hell.
Maneki Neko - Thanks for clarifying that - I threw the idea out on the off-chance without checking - my PIE knowledge extends to knowing what the acronym stands for though, if pressed, I might be able to dredge up a few Sanskrit words from the deeper part of my memory!
My formal education in languages got as far as O-Level in in French & Latin, which I've mostly forgotten now, also have picked up some Gk vocabulary* from scientific terms - did enough German in evening classes for the tutor to let the class loose on GCSE papers. We all passed, according to her, but we oldies were astounded at how little was expected of us, compared with what I & my generation were put through. Perhaps we weren't given the toughest option.
*At Athens Airport once, I was much amused to see that the word used for a baggage trolley transliterates as `metaphor'. Also `stasis' is a bus stop. Such ordinary, concrete things.
`So it is bye-bye king prawns, Imperial Leather, queen olives and royal icing. I have it on very good authority that the Duke of Sussex views Princes Tinned Rhubarb as a personal insult, as some interpret it as an accurate precis of his recent speeches on being a raindrop etc.'
Think of all the freelancers they must be paying, for one thing. They'll be scouring the newspapers, ready to make inane comments with the theme of "racism" and "let them be" over and over to any criticism. As a part-time writer, I think I'd've charged $10,000 for that basket of miscarriage lies for the NY Times. Then, I wonder if they help in the location and recruitment of fake children? And the placement of dueling stories day after day, raising questions and then quashing them. 'Will M attend the statue unveiling/funeral? Yes/no? Oh, no, and here's why." That's a week's worth of news right there, all timed to compete with some other, more important royal event.
Then there's all the things we don't know about. Someone's assigned to following on here and Lipstick, for instance, and on typing up a report and advising action accordingly.
The last I heard was the Interview had made 6 million for Oprah, being sold to a number of countries. Megs must have regretted agreeing to do it for free. Freebie wanting Megs doing anything for free??? Something very odd about this.
Listen carefully to what people say, language is important- Especially with POLITICIANS. They were not paid for the interview, but there were several stories that circulated stating the Disastrous Duo were paid for the images of Archie used during the interview. O could use them as she pleases. The amount rumored was up to $1MILLION.
Well, I nearly lost my dinner after listening to Megalo at the link below and now I want all Nutties to suffer the same fate!
I just had a listen. Now I understand the review that said the entire "poem" is just her ordering Harry around.
Until this moment, I had thought that the "you" of the book was the son. Most children's books that use the second person point of view are addressing a child. But the "you" of The Bench is the husband. And now I have creepy vibes.
"This is your bench/ Where life will begin . . ." It's like malignant hypnotherapy.
@Sir: If they got 1M, it's all gone, spent on PR, catching up with the plastic surgeon's office, gardeners, etc. Money runs through their fingertips like the sands of time.
1M is a lot to most of us. To the Ws it's a temporary plug in a hole of needy wants and floods of disinformation, hiring of babies/children, someone to photoshop, etc. Running a constant false narrative takes lots of $$$$$.
In my home, conversations about the Harkles always end in disbelief that some people can be given so much money -- more money than most of us will earn through honest work in a lifetime -- and still think it's not enough.
I suppose if I were in a foreign country and someone said the n-word at full volume it would make me act the same. He says the word "kaffir" is WAY WORSE than the n-word, which confuses me but maybe that's just his opinion (?) I can't say as I am not South African.
That said, he's lived in the USA for at least 10-15 years and he still thinks kaffir is a worse word, so maybe it is.
Until this moment, I had thought that the "you" of the book was the son.

The strumpet's literary masterpiece has been said to be an instruction manual for Harry...
It is not interesting for children at all.
@Enbre,
"This is your bench/ Where life will begin . . ."
____
True! Spare's married life certainly began chained to the Bench. He will most likely croak chained to the same ball, er Bench (Wench)..
Opus,
It sounds as if you may be implying Rob Lowe is less than masculine?
He may not be Laurence Olivier in the acting department but he is very comical not unlike Cary Grant who was drop dead gorgeous and unafraid to be hilariously funny.
Rob has grown on me. I loved him in the series with Fred Savage. He was hilarious. His lips are a little thin for my tastes but all in all he looks hella fine for 57. I wouldn't kick him out of bed that's for sure. He's also a very nice man. Beautiful inside and out is what counts.
His wife is fabulously wealthy and keeps him living well in Montecito much like Babs who has bought and paid for Josh Brolin. Another hot man of a certain age.
That's my tea for the day.
Yes, because she's the Bench...

Meghan Markle comes out of maternity leave for exclusive interview - Royal Family braces. "MEGHAN MARKLE will give her first interview about her book The Bench this Sunday, two weeks after giving birth to her daughter Lilibet.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1451694/meghan-markle-news-interview-the-bench-royal-family-latest-breaking-news
She can't even come up with new stuff!
"WILL return to the UK next year for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee"
So the family is even more racist than she first revealed, but she really wants to rejoin everyone on a really special occasion for them? Can someone help me with the logic, please?
Personally, I think H has had suicidal ideations and may still have them now. M, not so much, just another script for her victim story.
I see you found the same article - and yes the Megalo appears to be freshly enraged! I haven't had the chance to read it all yet nor finish scanning the other news for today but I think we may be in for a bit of 'entertainment' this weekend.
I guess now will be the time to see if the Queen's new policy will be put into operation.

She's just giving us a peek into her thought process.

And yes, since news and excerpts of the book were first released folks have been calling it an instruction manual to Harry. I can't understand how anyone would buy it - it's not a children's book!
The more I think about it, the more I believe MM revealed clues about her narcissistic abuse of Harry by writing that book. We should take a look at the rest of her "poem"...
No, I am not trying to attack Rob Lowe. I merely observe that although by ordinary standards the top leading men are handsome they tend not to be impossibly so: Bogart, Wayne, Cooper (maybe not Grant or Power) and more recently Ford, Willis, Arnie and Stallone were only average good looking. The great movie star of our age is surely Tom Cruise, a contemporary of Lowe yet despite being easy on the eye I would not have described him as pretty or beautiful or even classically handsome like say Grant. Worse for women of course who rise higher and fall deeper: would you pay to see Demi Moore - Lowe's bit of stuff in St Elmo's - now?
Neither do I attack Lowe's acting: have you ever seen Olivier as The Mahdi, Othello or General MacArthur - dreadful and I am not averse to a bit of blacking up or in the case of MacArthur trowelling on the greasepaint. Olivier (unlike Lowe) was primarily a stage actor and perhaps the technique is different for stage actors have a tendency greatly to overact when on film.
Meghan Markle is set to appear on national radio in the US for her first interview since the birth of her new daughter Lilibet.
The Duchess of Sussex will talk about her new children’s book, The Bench, on NPR Weekend radio show on Sunday.
It’ll be the first time her fans get to hear from her since she gave birth to her second child on June 4.
The chat with host Samantha Balaban will be the only interview Meghan does about the book, according to friend Omid Scobie.
He tweeted: ‘Fresh off the heels of her first children’s book becoming a certified #1 New York Times bestseller, Duchess Meghan will be giving her only interview about #TheBench to @samanthabalaban at the renowned @NPRWeekend show, this Sunday between 8am-10am Eastern.’
The book, inspired by a poem Meghan wrote for husband Prince Harry on father’s day, has been selling well in the US and topped the New York Times Bestsellers List for children’s picture books.
It has been less popular in the UK and only sold 3,212 copies in its first week after being published on June 8
...
Her fans? 'a certified #1 New York Times bestseller'?
So it's only sold 3,212 copies in the UK. Not quite the roaring success it was predicted to be. I'll have to see if it's in Waterstones window, prominently displayed...
Finally, when is a maternity leave a maternity leave? She didn't say when it started but it usually starts just before the birth. She needs to rest now after the rigours of childbirth ;-)
Not her first interview, but her only interview? Did that jump out at anyone else?
Why would someone who wants to hawk a book do only the bare minimum of promotion for it? Was it because no one else wanted to have her on?
No where did I say you were attacking. My question was, were you perhaps implying.
I certainly wouldn't pay to see ANYONES' junk young or old. I can still get enough "fine as aged wine" for free if I were inclined to do so.
With that said most men age terribly as well. Brad Pitt, even the great and gorgeous Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood look mighty sad these days. It's not just women as the thinking goes (unless someone has bought into that propaganda).
Truth is people get old. Besides, there's nothing worse than an old man whose balls touch the water when he sits on the toilet. Ok that was just a snarky comeback to the "sagging boobs" -or worse- comments one reads online.
Good day.

Thanks a lot, now I have a mental image if soggy balls floating with poo in a toilet.
The Claw in a panic over losing titles has already given up on the softer approach and is back to her old molotov tricks. This way should titles be removed the BRF could
look in the wrong to the citizens of the UK and the international commonwealth members.
Shes so obvious
You have a ways to go Sir so no worries :)
Omid is not really a reliable source. I will wait til next year when/if the Palace makes a statement at that time.
I also noticed the headline says "friend" not royal reporter.
Personally, I think H has had suicidal ideations and may still have them now. M, not so much, just another script for her victim story.
.......................
@SirStinx
Your post reminded me that MM is playing a game of 'will she or won't she' with both the upcoming Diana statue dedication AND next year's Platinum Jubilee. SMH
I too am unsure of Omid's reliability but I tend to think he reflects their attitude and he is largely responsible for much of the back-and-forth between the Harkles and the Palace.
I agree with you 100% on your suicidal ideation opinions. We can't know for sure and it's just my opinion, but I too believe Harry may suffer from thoughts of suicide which would be fairly common for someone plagued by clinical depression. It's been public knowledge for many years long before MM that Harry suffered from depression.
I also think his depression drives a big part of this whole story in a number of ways. I personally don't see any signs of depression from MM - just narcissistic rage, abusive control, vindictive behavior, and a penchant for tall tales.🤣

Meghan Markle comes out of maternity leave for exclusive interview - Royal Family braces. "MEGHAN MARKLE will give her first interview about her book The Bench this Sunday, two weeks after giving birth to her daughter Lilibet.

**@Karla
LOL! Markle IS truly a form of torture, isn't she?
I was just reading - I think on LSA, how some anti-Markle folks were wondering why she didn't set up any appearances to promote her book. It was thought that she was trying to avoid doing so but might end up scheduling an interview if the book wasn't doing well! Hmmmm.🤣
Digging while on a boring conf call that doesn't even concern me, and found this: the Apple series will be 5 episodes.
How many episodes in Prince Harry series The Me You Can't See?
https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1438828/how-many-episodes-in-the-me-you-cant-see-prince-harry-documentary-apple-tv
Even so, I can just imagine that voice saying,
"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."
I watched the final of the Song Prize in the `Cardiff Singer of the World' last night - there was a Welsh soprano, Sarah Gilford, who sang "Suo Gân" - a beautiful Welsh lullaby. The warm maternal love that she conjured up in her performance was infinitely more convincing than anything #6's wife has shown us.
Yesterday or the day before I posted an article I found saying MM was not going to do book promo as she was "heavily pregnant."
I suppose now that the surrogate is back home with the child, MM has time. Plus, NPR would be her dream platform, I think. Plus, on radio, we can just bathe in her dulcet voice without being distracted by her startling beauty. Plus, if her cosmetic surgery is still healing no one will see until the big reveal when she really must steal some attention from Catherine or the Queen.
Spot on - wonder which nose and face she chose? big reveal will be a pap walk on diana unveiling day
and if she really wanted an interview - she should have held out for terry gross but then again she would ask in depth questions. cant have that.
Lots of cute baby photos on Katherine McPhee Foster's Instagram, btw.
https://www.instagram.com/katharinefoster/?hl=en
Lots of mum and baby too. Lots and lots. Very sweet. Even in black and white!
Whatever will Megs do?
I assume the US Air Force is doing hourly flyovers to protect the Harkle family. They can't be "open" like McPhee!
Hey.......do you think the Harkles have a Baby Bunker, to keep the kids safe and hidden, and they were down in it when the police came that night with news?
Did McPhee ever publicly congratulate MM on Lili's birth?
Unless she's declared Persona Non Grata, it'd be hard to keep her out of the UK next year, unless she's got the lurgi. Otherwise, she'll have to find a place to camp out on the pavement, like the rest of the hoi polloi - I'd let her go in front of me, at the kerb, near the gutter, her natural habitat.
God! They're a ghastly crew, utterly loathsome.
If she won't, the narrative will be that her racist in-laws knew how much she wanted to hang out with their racist selves and racistly denied her that simple wish.
I sense desparation: the throwing of the race card (Via Scoby)
Kate is being publically well received for her initiatives (reading the DM)
and William says Kate will be present on July 1st.
and Scoby says H's wife will be present too on July 1st. i do not belive I will need to turn up the volume of the Kraken in the crowds.
@snarkyatherbest,
Terry Gross would eat MM for dinner with questions! Can't have that.
So, you wrote this: Spot on - wonder which nose and face she chose? big reveal will be a pap walk on diana unveiling day
And it reminds me I keep meaning to say: with all her facial tweaks, I think she is trying to morph into someone, but I can never quite figure out who. Kim K? Dakota Johnson in 50 Shades, for Harry? Then I realized maybe her twitchy mind keeps changing about who she finds hot at the moment, or whose mouth she wants, or who her targeted billionaire of the minute seems to date, so, she keeps re-tweaking the front of her head.
I haven't heard a peep out of the Fosters about the Harkles since way before the promised "Christmas soirée" failed to materialize. How I wish we had the tea!
It'd be hilarious if she's picked a genetic impossibility from the colour chart, like choosing the paint for the front door. If she does exist, I feel really sorry for the poor child.
We're also getting `Dog Lover Meghan' pushed at us again, doubtless to demonstrate what a decent person she is - like another notorious person from history...

Out of all the British papers that cover the Harkles, The Express seems to me to be the most guilty for trying to stir up trouble with the unstable duo.
Have we heard of any plans to send the Cambridges on a US tour? I don't think so...yet here they are suggesting this knowing it will not sit well with the ex-royals!
In addition they seem to be the most willing in the UK to print the Harkles' PR submissions and are the source for a lot of contradictory stories.
In 2018, The Daily Express is edited by longtime Labor supporter Gary Jones.
Thanks so much for the info! I'm so glad you're here today...it looks like your gut feeling that something would happen this week was correct. I think we may be in for some entertainment over the next couple of days! I hope she lets it all loose and gets herself into major hot water. I'm feeling a good deal better today and plan to catch up on some Harkle stuff.😊
Regarding her book on directing Harry - I don't understand how it managed to get so many good reviews on the US amazon site. Currently it has 729 global ratings with 94% being 5 star! It has an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5. How could Markle or SS arrange for the book to get that many good reviews? I know there must be something shady about this considering how bad the book is. I remember reading a while ago about a problem Amazon was having with the reviews specifically on this book and will try to find that article.
And it reminds me I keep meaning to say: with all her facial tweaks, I think she is trying to morph into someone, but I can never quite figure out who. Kim K? Dakota Johnson in 50 Shades, for Harry?

#6M tries to copy Beyonce in controlling all news about her. All images too. In #6M's mind she is your Kween, same as Beyonce.
In looks #6M is kinda stuck in 1990s, so Cher too. Young #6M always wanted Cher's straight flat hair. Even though wokista Cher had one or two racist tunes that must go unmentioned here. Last time they were, we got a pissing war.
JennS as the interview is on the radio, I've already destroyed mine. I'm going to sit here on a park bench to feed the pigeons that soiled MM's clothes in the interview with Oprah. Afterwards, I will read all of comments here. It will be much better.
....................
Ha ha ha that's very funny and I can just picture you with your birdseed.
Park and garden benches (which I happen to love) will never have the same meaning again thanks to MM. Now they are assigned spots to sit at attention while being reprogrammed and brainwashed.

Where are you getting this about RL's wife? I thought she was from a middle-class background. She has a jewelry business and was a make-up artist but can't possibly contribute to their combined wealth as much as his efforts have. Rob has worked his butt off in Hollywood since his mid-teens with many different types of projects plus they have made a lot of money investing in flipping Montecito properties. Ellen has made a huge amount of money flipping properties in Montecito and she and Rob recently 'battled it out' over the purchase of one estate with Rob surfacing as the winner. Also, the Lowes recently made a 20 million+ profit on the sale of their main long-time home in Montecito.

I think MM was banned by the Royal family from returning to the UK to attend the unveiling of the Diana statue. Why do I think this? The despicable pair's attacks have returned. "Meghan Markle's friend Omid Scobie makes fresh royal racism claims that family had 'not one but SEVERAL conversations about Archie's skin colour' - as he reveals Duchess WILL return to the UK next year for Queen's Platinum Jubilee
I still believe her visa was canceled after she was arrested for something in the U.K. She CAN'T travel there.
That said, she really seems to be losing it. My guess is there's a problem with the baby, Lili.
QUEEN Elizabeth gave a "subtle acceptance" of the couple's olive branch by wearing a brooch from Botswana, a country of special significance to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1451509/Queen-Elizabeth-news-Meghan-Markle-Prince-Harry-G7-brooch-choice-olive-branch-vn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is such a delusional, derisory and desperate piece of PR and it's not the first time Markle's flying monkeys have tried to claim the Queen's jewelry choices were made specifically to honor Meghan!
Although these types of claims like this brooch tale are far less harmful than many of her other stories, IMO Markle's PR narrative should have been addressed and stopped a long time ago.
A quick word from the palace about how Her Maj doesn't choose her jewelry with any people in mind but rather by her outfit and the event she is attending would put an end to the claims.

Rumors (persistent) with regard to the new baby (one hopes they are wrong) & waiting to time-release the news (more PR).
Rumors I hear re fleeing the UK/being banned to do with financial issues and, knowledge about Archie shall we say. Henrietta, is this what you heard? All allegedly; who knows.
@JennS,
Forget jewelry! Megs is SO influential, I heard the Tower was built a thousand years ago with her in mind. William the Conquerer was aided by seers, constructing it in subtle acceptance of her eventual arrival in history on her broom.
@AnT

You're probably right. It almost seems like she can't stop now that she has access to money. We never know what we will see. She likes playing characters with new faces perhaps? Oprah got Italian mafia widow. Archie was carried to school by 10-month-bump suburban mommy. We've had Moaning Megs, Yachting Megs, holy Megs, Malibu Megs with Gloria S, and Beach Megs in Toronto cap and leggings. Canada Megs. Nothing compares to Green Dress Megs of course.
Maybe the Met Gala 2021 costume theme should be: Meghan.

Maybe there is an issue with the surrogate.
At some point after they left Britain, there was a regular DM poster--I'm pretty sure his name was MajTomiK--who got into it with another poster on a Markles' article. TomiK ended it by saying that MM couldn't return to the U.K. because her visa had been canceled and she'd been told it wouldn't be renewed. After that, he only appeared on the DM boards a few times (that I saw), and I tried to get him to say more. Then he disappeared from the boards altogether. I've seen the pattern before; I think he let something slip, and nothing that's happened since then has contradicted his info.
You only lose your visa over certain things. You won't lose it over something like being at fault in a car accident (although I guess theoretically you could), but you will lose it over something more serious like a criminal arrest. From what I've heard, it's almost always a situation where you're told you can either face criminal prosecution or get out of the country and not come back. (I guess in movies they have you escorted to the airport.)
Given that the place in Canada where the Sussexes stayed was relatively close to a drug rehab--and the picture of Harry that appeared where he was holding Archie next to a large body of water looking pretty good and happy as well as his very weird Santa video that year--I'm guessing he was in rehab there. Do you know any addicts who voluntarily go to rehab?
I personally think they were both arrested shortly before the Christmas holidays. He was given the choice to either go to rehab or face prosecution and her choice was face prosecution or leave the country. The BRF probably thought Harry would elect to stay in the U.K. for rehab. But MM got him into the Canadian place, possibly with the help of that Suits friend they were photographed with (Abigail Spencer?).
It was a roll of the dice whether it would split them up or not and, in the event, it didn't work. But, again, nothing that's happened since then has contradicted MajTomiK's assertion. If anything, later events have confirmed it, esp. by their invitation to that Commonwealth event (i.e., "...and by special invitation of the Queen, the Sussexes will attend...).
Given that she's publicly declaring she'll be coming back for the Jubilee -- when she knows she won't even be allowed on the commercial flight -- I'm guessing she's just losing it. What would make a new mom lose it most of all? Something to do with the baby.

At times, the New York Times Company works closely with public relations firms. Like when they worked with the Sussex PR firm on #Megxit Markle's opinion piece titled "The Losses We Share,". "Bench" happens to be NYT pick for Children's picture book?
Surely no bias there.

I saw it working for Italy's top broadcasters and news affiliates. It's one of the main reasons Barker G. and I started this Twitter account with a goal to present exclusive, factual, objective, unbiased and honest information.

Anonymous asked:
I can't answer all the anon questions but I can tell you roughly what their PR costs. My husband worked in a major competing PR firm. Basic monthly fee 100,000 so that 1.2 mil a year. But if you exceed the basic package in terms of hours it's approx 2,000 per hr. They are definitely going over the basic package. Then the costs of getting articles in some mags especially if you want guaranteed # per week.
she has recurring article s in Hearst and Hello she pays for that. She pays for the interns who are running up to 50 Twitter and IG accounts praising her or attacking the RF. She pays for commissioned pieces. He estimates easily in 4 yrs 5 mil probably in the 7 mil range. Remember she’s had a tsunami of daily press in two countries sometimes more for almost 5 yrs.

Oh my. That’s Harry’s inheritance
Extremely interesting. I hadn't thought of a drugs arrest issue. What I heard related to shady financial behavior (although I suppose that could relate to drugs in a number of ways) and removal of a child or threats therefore for reasons -- which would again support your theory, actually. Hmmm.
Would Meghan even care if something was wrong with baby Lili? I mean from her marching and control aspects, yes, certainly. But I seem to find myself doubting that she has a shred of normal human compassion or maternal feelings. Just behaviors she acts out.
Thanks for posting that anon's figures. It sounds exactly right. I know smaller placid firms paying that much a year for very calm, basic work in comparison. The damage control, and paying to play....adds up.
Plus it's said they have been running press in markets like China lately, exploring that market.
They've been doing this for a few years already. Set up a staff of up to 12 professionals in addition to Omid, in addition to SS. They "bought" a Montecito mansion too.
Cosmetic surgery, luxe cars, security, clothes. House staff. Let's not forget the $10/month to Mayhew. Doria?
Where's the money coming from? All we know is where it's going.
From commenter gauloise: "Interesting this happened around the same time that her personal assistant quit. Her personal assistant used to be Bill Gates's long-time personal assistant.
It sounds like someone saw the red flags and shared it with the other."
Oh MY, that's an interesting angle - did anyone else know that? I haven't caught up on our commentary yet so maybe it already came up.
That could just be because I know he's not gay? Gayface is a real thing. My brother's stepson has it since a child and we strongly suspect the boy will be gay, he is growing into a truly gorgeous young man. This can be dangerous for people who don't have the intelligence or skills to outwit predators (sadly this boy is a bit dumb).
Regardless, yes - Rob Lowe is shockingly handsome and I can see where that would be a problem. Who else would I put in the same category? Johnny Depp was incredibly, deadly beautiful, also not gay.
Mmmm, Zac Efron is an incredibly good looking guy (gayface). Nyle DiMarco (deaf model/actor) is CRAZY good looking (gayface). Matt Bomer? Beautiful - I am torn on whether I'd give him gayface or not, he's more like Rob Lowe despite being gay.
For the record, gayface is not an insult just a descriptor and a fairly well-known phenomenon.
By my assessment, the names I've given are some of the most undeniably attractive faces ever, would be curious if anyone disagrees with my little list.
@Henrietta, except that an American citizen doesn't need a visa to visit the UK.
Tourist visas -- which Americans don't need to visit the U.K. -- are only good for a couple of weeks. She needed a different visa to stay even if she was applying for citizenship. I don't know what this would be called in the U.K. In the U.S., I think it's called a spouse visa.
" Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary."
@Henrietta, @Girl with a Hat @ Karla
U.S. citizens do not need a visa for tourist or business travel to the United Kingdom for a stay up to 6 months. A valid U.S. Passport is required.
@LL,
@Jenn,
You're right about Hot Rob's wife. They met once before, but actually connected when she was his makeup artist on a movie set. She is also making jewelry. She was not a wealthy woman when she met Hot Rob, and she certainly didn't have enough money to "buy him."
