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

She posted the threat and there was nothing that mentioned HAMS In it.
Unless she is holding back information (and she may be), there is nothing connecting the threat to Harry, Meghan or their supporters. If anyone has different information, please inform me. Thank you.
H&M need to realize that the public has it's limit.
I am very happy about the appeal too!
I'm told Associated Newspapers have been given the ok to appeal in Meghan's letter to her Dad.
So, yeah, that is horrific and I hope she immediately reported it to the police because you can’t be too careful.
In looking around Twitter, people were saying she lied about MM, yes, but also Brexit so.. this is for the police to investigate. If it is someone who associates with “sussex squad” then I hope they are identified and prosecuted.
Points to ponder!
If you did post that, I missed it so thanks you for it now.
So much for compassion and kindness. Yes, these people are absolutely vile
BTW, It's interesting that Thomas is said to have Dutch origins - some time ago when I checked it out I found the family seemed to be from Alsace, a place called Lampertsloch, that's in France near the German border, quite a way from the Netherlands.
This was long-disputed territory - Germany annexed it in 1870-1 (Franco Prussian War) but it was restored to France after the First World War. I did wonder whether there might be an element of atavistic antipathy towards the UK for its part in the post-war arrangements, given that the family were ethnic Germans? It's a long shot but could it have added to her motivation?
Yes, they are. Anybody that would harangue their family FOR MONEY and besmirch their reputation on an international broadcast while a beloved family member is dying is beyond salvage IMO.
That too is possible - was that the so-called `Maltese ancestry', the chap in the army who was posted out there?
Depends which part of Ireland they were from - still, I knew someone from Co Cork in the Army - and he told me his Dad had been an IRA man but at the outbreak of the last war he signed up with us!
My Irish ancestry is from Galway and Kerry but one lot came over at the end of the 16th century, the other during of just after the Napoleonic era. So no issue there.
Is this what #6 & #6w call 'kindness,' 'compassion,' & 'good mental health?' As Ted Hastings said in In Line of Duty, 'Jesus, Mary, Joseph & the wee donkey.' Apologizing in advance for anyone offended by a line from a fictional character in a tv show.

Blind Item #9
In case you didn't notice, the alliterate one is buying ads for her book that look like unbiased reviews.
@Opus, our legal expert, has said that a mistake has to have been found in the judge's application of the law, so judges are very hesitant to overrule. Correct me if I misunderstood this, @Opus. In the USA, appeals are often granted on technicalities, or some failure to follow procedure by any of the parties involved.
That ANL was granted an appeal is a very big deal, win or lose.
Hopefully the appeal will be upheld and we'll all find out a little more.I doubt it's just the Montecito Monster who will be feeling edgy right now.
I am throwing this with a disclaimer ( Any questions, verify with the original poster please!) however, I definitely read this on a site (Lipstick alley maybe?)in early May, but haven't been able to find it again. Fortuitously,I thought I'd give it one more go and this more recent post popped up. https://qr.ae/pGYCil
Clearly its supposition for the moment, and terribly, terribly sad if true. I do remember there being chit chat about the possibility of twins, although didn't take it seriously.
Given that no one has seen the baby yet and it has been said that there is no record of the monster giving birth at the Santa Barbara hospital ( Deja vue perhaps...) I wonder if this coincides with Harry being seen in a distressed state in a neighbours garden, as well as a reported estrangement between the monster and her mother, who apparantly packed and left. I can't remember the dates of either events, but suspect that they may coincide.....
I sincerely hope it's not true, but this appalling woman does seem to leave a trail of misery wherever she goes. True or not, I think, hope and pray that her goose really is cooked this time.
I missedvthat, Maneki. Thank you for the clarification.
@Tatty
Well, you are right in that the anonymous threat was not signed "the Sussex Squad", lol.
I was actually going by what Camilla herself claimed.
https://mobile.twitter.com/CamillaTominey
https://www.entertainmentdaily.co.uk
I did not notice any denials by the squad, but I could have missed them.
I admit to flashing on what a mother might feel when reading such an email and reacting emotionally. It was particularly brutal, I thought.
@NeutralObserver
I so agree the tgreats are vile.
I hadnt seen ratings for the Me You Cannot See. Those are dismal!
@Puds
The trying to pay off that bloated mortgage just seems sad, doesnt it, Puds? And you are right. They would probably just see as their due.
@Miggy
Good idea! I am leaving that Cesspool behind!
But how would I know? I don’t know much about “the squad” and how the operate. I have heard people reference them.
I’m saying I saw people tagging her with emotional viewpoints on brexit and her “lies” about labor (whatever that means,.. I don’t follow brexit).
The grangle, it takes 5-6 weeks for parents to receive birth certificates in the us, pre Covid. It will probably take up to 12 weeks if they allow anyone to get uncertified copies, and I’m not sure just anyone can get one because they are curious.
Seems Camilla is an equal opportunity offender 🤷🏼♀️
Oh, plenty of people are also mad at Camilla for calling Virginia, Andrew’s accused” a prostitute.
Jeffrey's girls were exploited because they were young and malleable but Virginia herself admitted to accepting up to $10,000 per engagement, along with first class travel, accommodation and designer fashions during the course of her employment with Epstein.
Sure beats the more typical teenage gig at Burger King, which is why I imagine these 'trafficked, terrified' girls found it hard to walk away from.
@WBBM
Interesting info about Thomas M's Dutch origins, I didn't know. Re Alsace, 'This territory was retroceded to France in 1919 after World War I, was ceded again to Germany in 1940 during World War II, and was again retroceded to France in 1945.' (Encyclopedia Britannica).
Its neighbour Lorraine suffered the same fate. @Although it was never formally annexed, Alsace-Lorraine was incorporated into the Greater German Reich, which had been restructured into Reichsgau. Alsace was merged with Baden, and Lorraine with the Saarland, to become part of a planned Westmark. During the war, 130,000 young men from Alsace and Lorraine were conscripted into the German armies against their will (malgré-nous). There were some volunteers for the Waffen SS.,[22] although they were outnumbered by conscripts of the 1926–1927 classes. Thirty of said Waffen SS were involved in the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre (29 conscripts, one volunteer).' (Wikipedia)
Just to backtrack to the birth certificate issue - can someone please confirm my understanding?
So what you guys are saying is the "confirmation" that Diana Mary or Lilibet Diana M-B were "born" on that day/county is really a confirmation of the search you are officially ordering results for?
And therefor it will "confirm" any query for any name on any date in any county?
That was my understanding of the fallout, someone please confirm if I've got the basics right.
Re the appeal by ANL, I am certainly no lawyer but I believe - and this is something @Opus may have mentioned - that an appeal is not usually granted unless there is a fair chance of success. I may be wrong.
We received the impression that Netflix is `disappointed' with the Harkles and there is talk of them wanting their money back.
Could they have decided that the best way forward might be to be brutally truthful in The Crown - I'm sure someone will think there's more, and better, drama (and profit) in the real story than anything they could make up. Is Lacey thinking about his future scripts for them and changing his tune accordingly?
Bring it on, say !!

Maneki Neko:
Oradour-sur-Glane massacre was very nasty, have you looked it up?
/Didn't she make Harry sell some shotguns from his grandfather? Pity.
Bring it on, say !!
There will certainly be a lot more drama with thrown hot tea, cursing at staff, merching, inflating/deflating baby bump, loud parties, loud fights, the crazy actions at the polo match, ignoring protocol, demanding equal everything to anything the future King and Queen of England receive, accepting blood diamonds, complaining about how she's too bored (or in need of drugs) to stay anywhere more than 15 minutes, creepy taking pictures of royal children, etc. Oh, I almost forgot "borrowing" from charities (allegedly).
Compared to THAT, somebody asking 6 whether he realizes that the baby will probably not be a pinkish baby but may be more tannish or cafe au lait would be no drama at all.

That's just a taste. There are at least that many more I did not include. Some are well wishes for William's birthday and childhood pictures of him. Markle didn't pay for those.
The long-awaited statue unveiling is going to be overshadowed and ruined by this fracas created by Harry and Meghan. Things must be so tense at KP, which is just how the Harkles want it.
Do Donald Trump Mountbatten-Windsor on 6/4/2021 in Los Angeles.
I read that ex-employees from the Sussex household are queuing up to give evidence, but I don't feel good about this. It's asking so much of them. There is the reputational risk and there is also the trauma. You can feel the hate and vindictiveness steaming off the page when you read messages from the Sussex camp, aimed at their victims. I only hope the Palace supports them to the max. They need to go above and beyond. These people deserve all the help they can get as they would be going over the top for all of us really. When we get down to it, they're our only hope of truly holding the Sussexes to account - in the eyes of the undecided majority - until William becomes king. No more pussyfooting around under King William V (assuming that's what his name will be).
SwampWoman – yesssssss, Netflix would profit more from the REAL story
Tatty – I am too lazy to follow links which require me to do work, a simple yes or no would suffice. I will take your posts in the affirmative.

I truly feel for all the Palace staff who have had to cross paths with the malignant twosome. Having an ocean between themselves and Her might provide some relief but in a sense they will always be looking over their shoulders.
The more I read about narcissists (and I believe that She is a sociopath in addition), I see that she will never stop. As long as she's got breath in her body and can grift money from somewhere, she won't stop. Physical confrontations are unlikely but she will make it her mission in life to ruin the reputations and peace of mind of anyone she views as thwarting her.
Lacey's book is also making William look silent, strong here and smart. Yeah, he had Meghan's number early on. She's that transparent. I wish we could go straight from the Queen to William. I just don't think Charles is capable, has enough of a back bone. Him running away from the Diana unveiling is really a dereliction of duty and it smells of desperation.
Anyway, Nutty was right to sniff the change in the media wind. The tide is turning on the Dastardly Duo.
@Wild Boar
Re Oradour-sur-Glane, I know the story very well. One of the most shameful episodes of the war. The French have not forgotten.

AvaC, believe me, if you had been subjected to bullying you would want to give evidence. Not out of revenge but you would want to be believed, you would want to be vindicated, particularly if you're competent and your bully isn't. Sadly, I speak from experience.
I don't want to come across as patronising but it is very difficult to understand what it means to be bullied unless you've been through it.
Personally, I'm not sure where the reputational risk is, especially if the witnesses are anonymous.
I compare this to the Johnny Depp/The Sun case where the judge relied on the "fact" that Amber Heard donated her entire divorce money to charity, hence she could not be a liar and there was no ulterior motive to all her actions (Depp's lawyer said she had an ulterior motive for the marriage - $$$$$). When Depp's lawyers were allowed to present their case for an appeal, they brought evidences that Heard had lied and that CHLA and ACLU had not received the claimed donations, the new judges agreed that there was no donations indeed. However, they did not allow for an Appeal as there was no technicalies in the case. The judgement really stumped many of us but it just reflects on how difficult it is to get an appeal - be it fair or not.
So yes, I am very happy that ANL is now at this stage and I hope they make a robust case against her with good, reliable witnesses.
