Is there a new chapter for the Sussexes? Are things looking up for them after Fergie signals support and they have a new former Disney+ exec heading Archewell content?
Let's discuss this and more...
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.

Sarah is not black and she’s British born, so the expectations for her conduct are higher. From the get go the Palace was afraid to touch the American WOC.

Right on! The BRF are now walking on eggshells because of the race card TBW pulled out on them. She's one of those POC who have no class and do rotten things like that.
Sarah also has proven by her behavior over the years that she lacks "class" as well. IMO this is why Prince Phillip detested her. AND why Diana befriended her-to annoy the H out of the Firm.
JMHO.
Fergie will latch onto anything if she thinks there is money for her.
Fergie would also understand the shunning by the Family and would be accepted by these two - in a moment of weakness. TBW is not stupid - she will see through Fergie and use her.
Koo Stark was an American actress, with a substantial resumé, but thanks to one role in particular, she was deemed `unsuitable' and `seen awf'.
Seen in retrospect, that was a great pity.

Had TBW been genuinely Caucasian, she too would have been given the Bum's Rush.
I can see now that H inherited a really nasty streak from his mother, given the allegations about Princess Michael's cat(s) and Diana's supposed motive for being so palsy-walsy with Fergie.
Do tell. So, what was "Diana's supposed motive for being so palsy-walsy with Fergie".
This inquiring mind is dying to know:D
Perhaps this will help

If you want to use emojis in HTML (I refer to your post in the previous thread), you could use emojis in Emojipedia. They have lists of emojis, chose a category and select an emoji, click on copy and then just paste directly in your post. For some faces or hands you can even leave them in yellow or choose between several skin tones. For this, scroll down a bit 😀

Thanks for the link! The article is a great source for understanding why they clicked as two young British aristo women who married into the RF. It said Diana fell out with Fergie due to Diana getting planter warts from Fergie's shoes, which Fergie had given her. Huh?? Lol! Why would Diana need or want Fergie's used shoes is the question loool.
Still wondering what Di's motive for being so friendly with Fergie was. Maybe she just liked her! Fergie did seem like a corker in her day.
@Maneki,
Aww thanks. So nice of you! I'll give it a go :)
Since TBW made a scene at Eugenie's wedding, it just doesn't make sense that Eugenie's parents would do or say anything favorable for the Harkles.

Great question FiFi! I would never speak to that TBW again if I were Fergie BUT Fergie has motives. I think she would let it slide if it means cashing in on their hustle. Also, maybe it's a backhanded way to get payback.

Yep. And to be honest, we don't know how much of PA and Sarah the couple saw while in the UK before & after marriage. PA is one of Harry's godfathers (a little unusual for royals to name relatives) and we don't really know if PA & PH have been close over the years.

Sarah Ferguson breaks silence on Harry, Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview.
July 25, 2021
"Sarah Ferguson is addressing the fiasco unleashed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after they gave an explosive interview to Oprah Winfrey.
While in conversation with The Telegraph, the Duchess of York spoke about her own interactions with Winfrey after she was asked to comment of Harry and Meghan’s explosive tell-all chat.
"All I want to say on this is that Oprah helped me greatly when I went to the US and was interviewed by her. I’m a great supporter of Oprah and everything that she does,” she said"

I think Fergie has a short shelf life. She's no longer attractive, charismatic, nor the young energetic royal with forgivable shenanigans. If Fergie's looking to hitch her wagon to the 6's star, she's gonna have to learn how to whine in a majorly way that garners attention.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15747920/meghan-markle-hires-oprahs-party-planner-for-40th-birthday/
So true! Fergie has not aged well. In a world where looks are everything, I'm not so sure she'll be successful in Meghan's shallow social circle based on just her personality.
I don't think attaching herself to them will help. She's 20 years too late. I know. She and I are close in age and I'm very aware that I'm a has been lol :D
I think TBW would feel embarrassed by Fergie instead of genuinely trying to help her. Narcs see people as objects to use, and sadly Fergie's used up, by that sick viewpoint anyhow...
Disney has been making woke shite for some time so it comes as no surprise the collab. I think people are sick of the woke entertainments and I really do think the Sussexes' nickle is up. Harry was right to be worried that his time in the sun is limited and this memoir is the last big of mudslinging grasping at relevance. The way I see it, they pretty much blew their load and the lines of support and disgust for them are drawn. This book and these projects aren't going to change that.
If the Sussexes were the "global brand" they claimed to be, they'd already be killing it in the deals and successful projects. I've said it before and nothing's changed in the way I see it either: they are on a slow ride to irrelevancy while William and Kate's popularity will rise over time. And, as their children grow, they will become more and more the focus and anchor to the family.
I have zero respect for Sarah Ferguson. Yep, now that Prince Philip is gone she can start making noise again with impunity. Honestly, I think once the Queen is gone all bets are off with regard to the future of the Royal Family. No one will be able to rein in the rogue agents like Fergie and the Sussexes.
@Fifi LaRue
I don't believe there's a deal for four books; that's more hyperbole from TBW. Only #6 received a book contract, and the advance was nowhere anything close to $20 million. The advance was probably closer to $750 thousand, because the publisher is also providing the ghost writer. Everything and anything that comes out of their camp is hugely inflated; about 95% of their "successes" are simply not true.
Ah, I had been wondering when Mrs. H's manifestation vision board would reveal itself again! They probably got a deal for one book and decided to manifest three more, including a "wellness book" for Mrs. H. The forecasted event of the Queen's death is like the anticipated Jubilee . . . or like Mrs. H's birthday at Balmoral, which, of course, her mind sets on the same level. The advance in the millions is the same old twaddle they tried with Netflix and Spotify, just with the names changed. (Someone could create a Harkle Mad-libs!)
A friend of mine is a published author in the US, and he recently shared these stats from the New York Times on his Facebook page:
1. Advances for books have dropped 40% in ten years.
2. In 2020, 98% of books sold less than 5,000 copies.
3. The median advance for books is now about $6000. (For me and non-US Nutties, he explained that that's about three months' rent.)
4. If you write a book and get it professionally published, you might make a fraction of federal minimum wage.
Undoubtedly, Prince Harry's name gives him an advantage that my friend and the majority of other writers don't have. But last year wasn't a great year for publishing and trends aren't looking up. (Besides that, Finding Freedom and The Bench both did poorly -- and in the case of the latter, the author did exactly one interview to promote it, which was taped beforehand, then used up the promotional budget sending autographed books out to celebrity mothers who mostly ignored her.) Even $750,000 is hard for me to imagine as an advance for a book "by" him.
It was a different time - British society has changed a great deal since then in terms of what is deemed `unacceptable'. We were more censorious all round then - and prepared to say what we thought.
Thanks for the extra context. If time period is also a factor, would you say that Mr. and Mrs. H's shenanigans would have been more heavily censured, by both the BRF and the people, had they happened back in 2012?
Then again, it's probably hard to say, given Mrs. H's R-card. It probably had greater value back then than it does now, when we're all incredibly tired of "woke" people telling us how to think and feel.
I agree with the reasoning that Sarah, with her background, truly should have known better in every stage of her life -- and should have shown a learning curve with every succeeding stage. But I can also imagine the Yorks smarting over a foreigner (race being irrelevant!) receiving more tolerance than one of their own. Don't both charity and loyalty begin at home?
And then comes a reasonable question:
@Sandie
what exactly is the Queen supposed to do that she has not already done?
The Harkles already "out" and receiving no money from either the Queen or Prince Charles. They're not allowed to use the HRH style in their commercial ventures. They've been iced out by the rest of the family (except, perhaps, by Sarah and Princess Eugenie?). If the BRF's aim is to keep the Harkles from hurting them, they don't want to do anything with long-term effects that will hurt younger royals.
Having said that, I'm sure the Yorks have some ideas. I sincerely want to hear their answer to Sandie's question. We'd have to weigh it against the fact that none of them has much to lose any longer -- but it would still be interesting!
Per Sarah Duchess of York, I can't even begin to fathom how that woman married into such a blue blooded family. She reminds me of the women we see at the weekend flea markets on a slow day. Crass, brawling, and vulgar. The proverbial fish monger's wife. No offense to fish mongers.
As other people have said, it's probably a true love match between Prince Andrew and Sarah. Had they not been ordered to divorce, they'd still be married. But with quiet measures having been taken behind the scenes to curtail Sarah's spending. At least one would hope so.
In some ways, I see Sarah as a forerunner to Mrs. H. The Queen was strict about Prince Charles's choice of bride, but much more tolerant about whom the "spare" could marry. She remained kind to Sarah even after the toe-kissing photos, the access-to-Andrew scandal and Sarah's six-part series on Oprah's network*. Ironically, the reason the British public have been quicker to condemn Sarah is probably the reason why the Queen has been quicker to forgive her. She is seen as "one of us." Not a blue blood, certainly, but a horsey, country-loving Englishwoman.
* This reminds me that I have no idea what the British public's reaction to the Finding Sarah series was. @WBBM and other British Nutties: Care to chime in?

I hate to say this but I suspect the RF still have hopes of saving the dumb prince. Hence, Sarah Ferguson is the conduit of communication with him if he ever needs to get out from the viper.
Her task is only that - be available for H if and when he asks for it.
Mind you, Diana was quoted back then as referring, with delight, to `rattling their cages' so I imagine she pushed it as far as she dared - but the interview was one step too far.
The 2 of them were `partners in mischief', drawing attention to themselves in unfortunate ways, even as married women, IIRC. It was a sharp contrast with how the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret (19 & 14) went out and about on the night of VE Day (May 1945), completely unrecognised by any of the rejoicing crowds. See:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3043395/The-night-Queen-did-conga-Ritz-Princesses-Elizabeth-Margaret-got-VE-Day-celebrations-70-years-ago.html
Roya Nikkhah (The Sunday Times) has posted that The Duchess of Cambridge will take on Prince Harry’s former royal patronages of the RFU (Rugby Football Union) and also the RFL (Rugby Football League) and the Princess Royal is “nailed on” to be the next Captain General of Royal Marines, the first woman in the role.
@Natalier
Good point, Sarah is seen
as the outlier aunt, easier for Haz
to approach if needs be.
I think she is kind hearted, fun,
and down to earth, but very foolish
due to her insecurities.
She can, and does, admit to her
mistakes, unfortunately she doesn’t

of her comfortable relationship with

prior to her toe curling feat.
I imagine that news of it would have been greeted with a yawn.

I'd not heard of it either. I liked Sarah when she first married Andrew as I thought she was a typical 'jolly hockey-sticks' fun sort of girl. My mother on the other hand, thought her badly behaved and tacky. Apart from her bad behaviour, something that also irked my mum was this awful habit Sarah had of standing with her mouth agape.

I didn't see the Tom Bower article you mentioned upthread but I saw this one in the US Sun in Newzit:
'MEGHAN Markle "humiliated her critics and humbled the Royal Family", according to a biographer.
Tom Bower believes Meghan's next step is to "conquer the world" ahead of her 40th birthday on Wednesday.
He wrote in a column for The Sun: "She has humiliated her critics and humbled the Royal Family.
"Her next steps are to conquer America, then the world.
"Critics carp that Meghan’s megalomania has no limits. Her admirers retort that she is purposely fulfilling the American Dream."
Bower added: "Blowing out the 40 candles on her birthday cake on Wednesday, Meghan Markle will be rightly thrilled about her phenomenal triumph.'
'Phenomenal triumph'?? The rest is even worse sycophantic drivel.
I hate to say this but I suspect the RF still have hopes of saving the dumb prince. Hence, Sarah Ferguson is the conduit of communication with him if he ever needs to get out from the viper.
I've long suspected the first part as well. And Harry is still family. He will be, whatever he does.
In this case, it's quite clever of them to use Fergie as a go-between. How appropriate, too. Harry will remember her as a jolly aunt and probably already feels she's the family member least likely to slam the phone down if he called. But since she's not very glamorous or exciting, she doesn't also appeal to his wife.
If the BRF are that willing to have him back -- even if they also keep him at arm's length for a very long while -- this proves what a warm, forgiving family they actually are behind the "never complain, never explain" image.
Your riff off The Lonely Goatherd is the most brilliant thing you've written to date! I wish I could stage a performance of it for you. But first I'd have to be able to carry a tune in a bucket . . .
Good point but to that I would add what friends, never mind close ones? Where will she find 65 close friends and family? And what about their beloved privacy? Celebrate quietly, we don't need to know!
All my thoughts exactly!
Even the most extraverted people in the world aren't "close" to 65 people. If we count Doria, Oprah, Gayle and maybe James Corden, they will still need to dredge up another 60. And remember that they've ghosted or offended people who might have otherwise been happy to attend and to lend some star power. Jessica won't be there. Jennifer Meyer won't be there. Priyanka Jonas won't be there. Chrissy Teigen definitely won't be there. (I wonder if Chrissy will post some shade leading up to and on Mrs. H's birthday.)
Oh, wait. I have it! Those "non-famous tech billionaires" make up the guest list! "Close" friends whom he only met a few months ago. Of course.
Bower added: "Blowing out the 40 candles on her birthday cake on Wednesday, Meghan Markle will be rightly thrilled about her phenomenal triumph.'
Maneki Neko commented:'Phenomenal triumph'?? The rest is even worse sycophantic drivel.
I had to chuckle at that. Most people just roll their eyes reflexively when her name is mentioned.
I've been pretty busy lately so haven't kept up much, but I don't believe the hype about them getting money rained on them (although I have observed that hyperinflation has arrived in industrial and electrical supplies).
Heh. I wonder if they'll get all frustrated that their new autistic friends are difficult to manipulate.
Good! Somebody else has remembered about this.

EBooks are the modern way, not so complex to publish. Seems like old school publishing has gone the way of the buffalo...
Also, I agree 100% that Fergie was given a pass because she is from that circle and culture; British, horsey and aristo. Nothing wrong with that. They should have stuck to the formula though rather than try to appease POC. That's Charles' doing. Some barriers cannot be cracked no matter what.
I myself have different views entirely when with tribal folks. It's organic. Meaning we can't help but feel a certain way; it's innate. BUT I do know when to put a lid on it... Tribal folks meaning ethnic, minority, etc. I do it out of respect and love for my non POC friends and family. I can see why Di and Fergie commiserated. We all need that...

Thanks! I suspected as much, since I was the first one to bring it up.
All in all, the series seems neutral to the point of boring. If Sarah had hoped it would land her more opportunities in the US, well, nothing seems to have panned out. It's a good thing she didn't bash the Queen or the other royals, of course, but she also didn't bring much to the table for Americans beyond the novelty factor. Which she wouldn't have had any longer in the UK.
I didn't see the Tom Bower article you mentioned upthread but I saw this one in the US Sun in Newzit:
I think the article in The Sun has a bit more meat on the bones!

He just might be twisting the knife with the inflated praise of TBW.

We are fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. Whether y'all chose to be vaccinated (or not), I don't care. Your choices are your choices. I just want to tell you about the efficacy of an alternate treatment.
Husband was exposed to COVID from an infected (although she didn't know it) home health aide that has been helping care for his mother for the past year. The first we heard of it was Monday when her partner home health aide told husband that the previous aide had been quarantined for 14 days. I was up there the weekend that she was working and was exposed, although SwampMan had been first exposed a day earlier than I was.
As soon as I found out, I dosed myself with ivermectin appropriate to my body weight. SwampMan did not, because he feared ivermectin was harmful. He started having slight cold symptoms by Monday evening with more symptoms Tuesday evening such as congestion, cough, and body aches. He was worrying himself to death in fear that his dying mother might be hastened on her way to the hereafter by him, so I told him to get tested because he *might* just have a cold.
Wednesday he went to a doctor's office that offered rapid COVID tests while a hospice worker sat with his mother. He tested positive. On Thursday, he couldn't sleep and was in a great deal of pain from the constant cough and the worst headache he had ever had. He couldn't use his CPAP due to his nasal passages being nearly swollen shut. "Why aren't you sick?" he asked. "You were exposed as much as I was!" "Because I took ivermectin as soon as I found out about the exposure. Take yours!" "I can't. I gave it away." Well, dang.
I drove 4 hours north Friday to bring food supplies (such as things for quick sandwiches and easily prepared soup) for SwampMan. My poor dying mother in law ceased eating the week before the WuFlu arrived.
I dosed myself prophylactically (again) with the ivermectin since I'd been exposed to him. I wasn't sure that he would take it, so I personally drew up the ivermectin dosage from the bottle, took the needle off the syringe, and watched him squirt the syringe contents on his tongue. "Do you need some water to get the nasty taste out of your mouth?" "What nasty taste? I haven't been able to taste or smell anything for a couple days." "Lucky you!"
I also had him take an amino acid, NAC or N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, which I have used to break up mucus accumulations from my chronic bronchitis (which was no longer a problem for me). Sadly, it is something that can't be purchased anymore in the US unless you can find some still on the shelf in a vitamin store because the administration decided the amino acid is a drug (probably because it is effective).
Approximately three hours later SwampMan texted me that maybe it was his imagination, but he was starting to feel better. The headache wasn't as severe. The next morning his headache was completely gone, as was his fever. He said he'd been able to sleep through the night for the first time in two days and his cough was mostly gone but productive, and he was coughing up some nasty stuff. He took a second dose of ivermectin Saturday late afternoon on his own. He's continuing to take the NAC.
Today his coughing is down to about a cough per hour, his sinuses are still draining, but he is suffering from an overwhelming fatigue.
I think those are good questions! Harry's patronages are beginning to be parceled out; I suspect the BRF is doing it very slowly on purpose. The Queen's Commonwealth Trust is a big deal, though, and it's high time we hear who the new President and Vice-President are.
But they'll probably always remain listed as members of the BRF, just as Sarah is. (The last time I checked, "Sarah, Duchess of York" was way down at the bottom of the list. But still on the list!) They're out as working members, but they're still in as family. The BRF can't just do the equivalent of scratching a black sheep's name out of the family bible.
Was his rapid improvement a result of the vaccine or the ivermectin/NAC combo? I dunno. He went from being unable to sleep Wednesday and Thursday, coughing, fever, still had a horrible headache Friday to being able to later sleep through the night within hours of taking ivermectin and being able to breathe on Saturday with minimal cough. Maybe the vaccine kicked in. Maybe the ivermectin killed the virus. Maybe both. He seemed well on his way to being hospitalized. (I have even less faith in rural hospitals than I do in my ability to handle venomous serpents because God* will protect me.) Do not take ivermectin without research about your medical condition and interactions with ivermectin.
I will say that the doctor did call in three prescriptions to the nearest pharmacy, CVS, and three days later they had STILL not been filled. He got a call that they were ready for pickup today (four days later) but the hospice people will be gone by the time the pharmacy opens and he will not be able to pick them up today. (Based on what I know other people have received from called-in prescriptions, it was probably something like a Z-pack, steroid inhaler, and cough meds which would also have been helpful had he been able to get them on Wednesday.)
*I could just see me standing in the complaint line in the great beyond saying "Excuse me, Sir, WHY didn't He protect me from the serpents in the snake-handling church when I had faith in Him? This is ALL HIS FAULT. I demand an apology and a bigger mansion. I demand an attorney NOW."
"Crikey, Karen, He gave you the good sense not to pick up snakes when you couldn't handle 'em. They were real beauts, too, and the gravid female was injured when you dropped her and later died. I'll be releasing her into your garden later today to lay her eggs. If you want an attorney, you're going to have to take the elevator DOWN because we don't have attorneys here."
"Steve Irwin? I demand another clerk! Hey, you over there! Where's the nearest Walmart? I need a shovel because I understand my garden is about to have a snake infestation." "Here, you can't harm my beautiful snakes!" "Relax, Steve, do I look like I would hold a grudge? The shovel is for planting flowers, yeah, that's it, planting flowers."
I was reading something and it occurred to me that we still use the name of Camilla Parker-Bowles and that last name is the name of her ex-husband. Why are we using that name?
Well, I no longer use that name. And as far as I can recall, neither do any of the Nutties.
But she probably still gets called that for the same reason Catherine is still called Kate Middleton. To diminish her a little. (How Sophie has avoided the same fate, I'm not quite sure!)
And it seems to be just the English-speaking press that does this. I know that the wife of Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark is Crown Princess Mary . . . but I struggle to recall her maiden name. Ditto for Crown Prince Carl Philip of Sweden's wife, Princess Sofia. It's true even for the male married-ins, like Prince Daniel of Sweden (though I admit I needed to look up the name of his duchy).
I can no longer find the page that I referenced in my previous comment to you, which was simply a list of BRF members. It was probably replaced with something flashier. But while combing through the BRF's official site, I did see Mr. and Mrs. H in very prominent spots -- and jarringly so. I agree with you that they shouldn't be featured that way any longer.
Indeed. Misogynistic and disrespectful. Much like how the press had a field day referring to Sarah, Duchess of York, as "Duchess of Pork".
Was the year 2000 some kind of transition year? All the women who married in before that are identified properly in the press and all the women who married in after that are not. The Countess of Wessex made it just in time!
Have been reading about Boris and Carrie Johnson expecting a rainbow baby.
I hadn’t heard of the term before, but it's a term used for a baby born after a miscarriage.
I don’t recall the Harkles using that term to describe the latest pregnancy, unless I missed it.
O/T about Covid
did you have any side effects from the Ivermectin?
My 72 year old neighbor drank 3 cans of tonic water when I told him I thought he had covid. He had very bad body aches but no fever. He went to get tested immediately and found out he was positive. He takes zinc and selenium every day so he did not have to add that to the list of things you should take to treat covid. All of his symptoms were gone the very next day and he hasn't had any symptoms since.
1) do they know 65 people who are gonna show up?
2) will archie and lilibuck$ be waitstaff?
3)?locally sourced food. - someone should watch the chicken shed. poor rescue chickens 😉
4) locally sourced wines - archie will be getting the last drops out of all the partials and empties after a typical night with the awesome duo. hopefully there will be enough for the “guests”
5) she’s just begging paps yo be outside and then she will merching her and the baby pic or have some incident where she will have to call the police. look harry ally the intrusion. just like your mom.
well it gives us something to chat about at least and covers for harry’s patronage’s being reassigned. wonder what she will come up with when hers are reassigned.
Nah. I've administered it to cattle, horses, sheep, and dogs for a very long time. Often got a faceful (or mouthful) myself when a cantankerous bovine tossed its head (it is rather bitter) and the dosing gun got me instead. The only reaction I've ever gotten from an egregious overdose (for, say, an 800 lb. bovine) was a case of diarrhea. Livestock producers have been using it on ourselves and our kids for head lice for years.
Thanks for reminding me about the quinine in tonic water. I completely forgot about that!
I hope there are lots of photos of the glittering birthday party.

Oh, snap! We should all dress up in our tiaras, party dresses, glittery magic wands (hey, I'm tearing out the flooring anyway) and fairy dust for the occasion. We can play party games like whose face did she copy? Whose hair is she wearing? Who did those eyebrows used to belong to? Where did she get that nose?
If we all bake huge cakes for the occasion, pool our money, and hire a union master voodoo priestess, we can direct all the calories to leave US and go to her. Bwahahaha.
/Union Master Voodoo Priestess sounds like a good side gig. Facebook Marketplace?

I wish the paps would stop playing her delusional game with her, but I realize that's not how the world works.
The two paps of the Paparazzi Podcast said that the "problem" with Mr. and Mrs. H is that they're really boring. They never actually do or wear anything interesting, so why bother following them around? But they've been lying low a lot more this year than last year, and the alleged new baby raises the interest factor a bit. So paps might definitely consider this an open invitation.
Ah, that's where The B*tch Wife's been: getting nips and tucks, fillers, etc. for the big 40. We shall see a new face.

Ah, so that's why she wants to be photographed. Get that new face out there, create the illusion that she's hugely in demand, and tell everyone that the harassment by the paps she has practically invited over is triggering her suicidal thoughts again. A trifecta!
After the chilly statue unveiling, do you think the Cambridges' Instagram account will still wish Mrs. H a happy birthday? At first I didn't think they should, but then I thought of how hilarious it would be if they used the oldest (but still flattering!) photo they've got.
My take is all the above is 33% of the reason M was desperate to get back to California.
Ivermectin works better than hydroxychloroquine. This is what the alt Covid underground says. There are websites that lay out the Ivermectin protocol for preventing Cov19 and for use if you catch Covid-19. This is one of them>> https://tinyurl.com/pu7vzrwd There are others. If interested do your research. And Amazon has the horse Ivermectin. Joe Biden and Fauci should get on Jeff Bezos' case for allowing this outrage. (sarcasm)
As I said = the party is certainly a distraction from the reports of who is getting the patronages. Didnt see either york girl on that list (maybe why fergie is pissed and yapping) What magic will the Harkles bring when the mrs patronages are redistributed and announced
Personally, I know a few people who have had plastic surgery and that are narcs, and I think that their unattractive faces are part of the reason that they developed narcissism.
O/T Covid
Feeling terrified for my sis in Malaysia because people are dropping dead on the streets. Want to get something for her in case she is exposed.
Do you mind sharing more on Ivermectin? Can help with below questions:
- which type did you use (liquid, pill-form; for horse or dogs)
- what is the dosage by body weight
O/T Covid
get your sister to start taking zinc and vitamin D ASAP
both help with covid but the blood levels need to be rather high to begin with. Both are readily available in almost all countries.
"There are some clever lines here. Harry: “‘Suits’ is more popular in the States than even ‘Friends,’ you told us.” Megan: “I oversold that one a little bit at the time.” Most of the topical references are, well, topical — “Demi Lovato is non-binary. Good for Them,” Prince George says while glued to his cellphone and shouts out “Free Britney!” But Queen Elizabeth calling someone “a tosser” just doesn’t hit the mark; it all feels a bit forced in that trying-to-be-outrageous sort of way.
Maybe it’s just too difficult to parody a family that’s already a caricature of itself. Sometimes truth is weirder than animated fiction".

There are rumors that Prince Harry didn't like how he is being portrayed in the series The Prince, Gary Janetti, HBO. Now Omid Scoobie is talking about the series. Of course defending the Cambridge children. It makes me think he's talking for H&M only. If Omid is against it, I suppose the Harkles didn't like it.
Omid Scobie: Royals have been parodied on dozens of shows over the years (Spitting Image, The Windsors, SNL etc) but this is the first time I can recall children being targeted. It may be “comedy” but it comes across as creepy and borderline-bullying. Seems like many of you feel the same…

Part of the text.
Wildlife campaigners hope Harry will shed light on the killing of two of Britain’s rarest birds over Sandringham in 2007.
Wildlife campaigners have called on Prince Harry to use his forthcoming memoirs to help solve a 14-year mystery about the killing of two of Britain’s rarest birds over one of the Queen’s estates.
In October 2007, just a few weeks after his 23rd birthday, Harry was questioned by the police after two hen harriers, a legally protected species, were seen being shot over Sandringham in Norfolk.
The prince had been out shooting on the estate on the evening of 24 October, with family friend William van Cutsem, then 28, when the incident occurred. At the time the Queen was a patron of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Witnesses said they saw two hen harriers in flight being shot, an offence under wildlife protection legislation which carries a prison sentence of up to six months or a fine.
Harry, Van Cutsem, and a Sandringham gamekeeper denied shooting the birds. And as no bodies of the birds were recovered from the scene no charges were brought. At the time Clarence house said Harry had no knowledge of the incident. After 14 years no one has ever been prosecuted for the alleged shooting

So what place is #6w getting her face....done right ...for the Umpteenth time. She seems to be seeing competent people for this. One reason she dragged H to LA was so she could get this "work" done that has been on her mind for years. You better believe she has been mulling over her new face over for years while she was in Suits! She can probably keep her procedures secret in LA. If she was living in England all this would leak out. The DM would go on for a while about it, generating at least 10 articles on M's procedures and who done it in London.
I thought that she would have had *more* privacy in the UK, not less! I was quietly in solidarity with the people speculating that the lack of drama in California may indicate that she had gotten some bad surgical results so needed to have it revised. Maybe she thinks that the plastic surgeons to Hollywood are superior to those anywhere else? (Some of those actors and actresses look like caricatures of themselves, though.)
Off Topic: @xxxxx, Eastern Virginia Medical School as well as MedCram lays out the protocol for using ivermectin (I used the EVMS protocol with some of the MedCram thrown in for good measure). While there are docs that prescribe it, just getting in to see the doc in a timely manner is next to impossible.
"Then, on a June night in London’s Soho, the reward of a skilful plot by Meghan and three close friends changed her life. In a well-prepared “blind date”, she met the world’s most eligible bachelor."
Later she claimed in an article that they met in Toronto in May when Harry was there for the Invictus Games, and then got the magazine to change the article by changing the date to July I think, and the meeting place to London.
Whatever the actual truth is, I wonder if Harry still believes it was a blind date and if he knows that she colluded with friends to meet him and then love bomb him?

I urge that you and your sister review any prior medical conditions that she may have and then check conditions that are known to be aggravated by ivermectin. For example, we widely regard aspirin as being very safe but not for those under 12, those who have a history of ulcers, those who are on blood thinners, or those who have had a past allergic reaction to aspirin. (Aspirin is regarded as a wonder drug, as is ivermectin.)
I use the Ivomec brand 1% injectable ivermectin (labeled for livestock use only, of course) and take it by mouth but other labs make it, too. The human and cattle dose are pretty close. The cattle dose is 1 mL (or cc) per 110 lbs. body weight.
I found this one at Jeffers for about half the price I paid at the local feed store, but I was able to pick up the vial at the feed store immediately and carry it to the husband with no shipping delays:
https://www.jefferspet.com/products/injectable-ivermectin-for-cattle-and-swine
I am not endorsing Jeffers. I just wanted to show you what it looks like. I have used Jeffers in the past when we had hogs and cattle as well as horses, but not recently.
For those interested, the first of South African troops have landed in Mozambique, by sea.
An IS group has pretty much taken over northern Mozambique, including major international oil/gas refineries. Rightly so, the international community are not going to get involved in a war in Africa (although I suspect that America in particular will find indirect ways to assist ... something like the recent donation of 5 million vaccines springs to mind as an example). Since South Africa has the largest and most well resourced armed resources in the region, it is taking the lead, although it is a regional problem and technically other Southern African countries are part of the effort.
South Africa's economy is struggling after a decade of looting under Zuma rule, the coronavirus lockdowns, and a recent destructive insurrection in Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal.
Wish us luck! Mozambique is a beautiful country with beautiful people and a war-ravaged past. The people and the country are worth saving.
Very interesting essay about Princess Di. It's hard to read in some parts, but did Diana really have problems in saying more than a few sentences at a time?
I saw a piece in DM this morning how that bloody show makes fun of an aging, dying Prince Phillip. My first thought was I'll bet Spare and TBW are producing it ...ugh
Despicable couple.😡
Yes, I read that article too. I've no idea if the Harkles are connected in any way but nothing about them would surprise me. I'm also pretty disgusted with the British actors that took part in this series.
A comment on the new article.
no drama please, SB, United States, 50 minutes ago
What's more disturbing, I know because I have watched the entire series, is the portrayal of the late Duke of Edinburgh. He at one point does and the servants drag him through Buckingham Palace and sit him at the table as if none of the other royals would notice he died. They continue to hold his jaw and chew food his food for him as drool and food spill out on the plate below. It's a horribly disrespectful scene. The Duke just passed away 2 months ago I believe. It's the WORST part about the series. I doubt HBO will continue this because of the backlash. Keep up the criticisms and show Gary Janetti his series is the worst thing to come on TV in decades.
How vile is that?
That's so sad about the birds, but I can see H doing this with absolutely no regrets. He's a man-child, and it's about time that he's held accountable for his actions.
Miggy...Yes!
I don't know H&M are involved in The Prince series. Janetti started this on his IG account a couple of years ago.
Sussex fans attacked him in the IG and in the media. And there were reports of a likely lawsuit against him by the Sussex.

Jocelyn...I couldn't agree more
There is no indication that Diana could not easily engage in conversation with a wide range of people in a wide range of settings. She labelled herself as thick as two planks, but she was certainly equally comfortable engaging in conversation at state banquets and a homeless shelter. She also loved classical music and hymns, played the piano, loved ballet and dance, certainly attended a lot of upper class sport events, had a genuine sense of humour...
But, if grabbing every opportunity to sprout off a load of word salad to an audience and dominate conversation, as Meghan does, is the benchmark to being labelled smart, then Diana was indeed as thick as two planks!
Much of what is stated about Diana is myth derived from speculation, gossip, hype and stories planted by the Charles camp in the War of the Wales. Some has come from reputable staff, close friends and William himself.
It is normal to try to explore and understand the complex nature of a charismatic woman.
PS Although I have come across a very few who enjoyed The Prince and found it funny, for most it fails as satire and is neither funny nor says anything meaningful about human nature or society. It seems to have fallen flat with most Americans so it is not only very bad taste but most do not find it entertaining. Who the heck is in charge of content at Netflix? Perhaps that person needs to be fired?
@Sandie
'God Bless Africa' indeed, in desperate times.
I'll never forget the first time I ever heard the SA anthem. It was in London, still in the days of apartheid. I was going up the stairs to the lab, ready to teach the first lesson of the afternoon, and one of the VIth formers in the lab, from Cape Town, began to sing. Other lads joined in - such beautiful harmony. I was spellbound and waited on the stairs to listen.
When they finished, I went in and asked what they were singing and they chorused "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika"
Unforgettable. Deeply moving. My prayers are with you and your nation's forces.
Yes Madame wishes she could emulate Reese - I am sure Pearl and the Invictus documentary are worth at least $1B ;-)
A special place in my heart will always be reserved for Zimbabwe. I've been following the news of neighboring SA. It breaks my heart...
I appreciate your sharing the latest. I will continue to keep the region in my prayers. ❤️❤️❤️
There are rumors that Prince Harry didn't like how he is being portrayed in the series The Prince, Gary Janetti,

Naturally he would complain yet why hasn't he approached the creators with the same disgust over their portrayal of his dying grandfather?
Since it was speculated that it was their revolting behavior that precipitated PP's downturn, then he doesn't care. Just about his harpy and himself. Double ugh!!
CDAN is saying "the alliterative one" wasn't invited to Obama's 60th birthday bash,
Ha! Why would they be- since they are an embarrassment? Will see if she shows up... by hook or by crook no doubt...
Of course you are correct, it's all about the optics for TBW. I should have elaborated on my comment, meaning it wouldn't surprised me if she pulls out all the stops to wheedle an invite come hook or by crook. She's the type so thirsty that I do think she would do anything to get her mug in photos of that party. 😂
Lol. True! He thinks he's the 👑

Malaysia Ivermectin
and
Malaysia hydroxychloroquine
What I found is that hydroxychloroquine is very common in Malaysia while Ivermectin is not. You should have yr sister get on a preventive hydroxychloroquine protocol. Today the consensus is that Ivermectin is superior, but you/sister must work with what is available. Ivermectin is probably 20-25% superior to hydroxychloroquine. SO WHAT! Use hydroxychloroquine because it is what is there in Malaysia.
CDAN is saying "the alliterative one" wasn't invited to Obama's 60th birthday bash, unlike fellow wedding attendees Clooney and Orpah. And she's doing her own 40th party low key style to deflect from the fact, like Fergie, she just wasn't deemed worthy to make he cut out of 500 guests no less. Oh this is rich and the best reflection on her true social currency among the people who actually matter to her. De-lish!
Outdoor party, hunh? Should be a nightmare for security, caterers and other staff.
o/t covid
Just remember that if you take hydroxychloroquine against covid, you have to take it at the very first symptom and you have to take it with zinc. It's actually the zinc that does all the heavy lifting against the virus, not the hydroxychloroquine. The hydroxy opens the cell for the zinc to enter, and it's the zinc that stops the mRNA of the virus from being reproduced.
And, the most important thing - whatever you take against covid, be it hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, do it at the very first symptom for it to be the most effective.
And, zinc and vitamin D every day no matter if you are sick or not.
While we're all passing the time waiting for some new Harkle news to drop... I thought some of you might like to view this lovely video.

Thank you.
What form do you take your Vitamin D in? I had capsules, but they upset my stomach. My doctor agrees with you on Vitamin D. What does zinc do for you?
Also, re the non-invitation to the Obamas'. I don't get that either. Why WOULD she/they have been invited? Sorry, they are nobodies, people of no accomplishment.
I guess I'm just dense tonight. Nothing is getting through to me.
It sounded difficult for everyone. Thank you for understanding about needing to redirect the discussion.
Returning to lurkdom.
Reese Wetherspoon has just sold her media company for $900 million to a company called Blackstone. She just started the company in 2016. I bet TBW will be trying to emulate her success. Reese's company produced media hits such as "Big Little Lies" amongst other stuff.
@snarkyatherbest:
The operative sentence here is “Reese’s company produced media hits such as "Big Little Lies" amongst other stuff.” Witherspoon has more talent in her boogers than H&M could ever hope to summon no matter how many minions they hire to do the actual work so they can seiop in and claim the credit, any accolades they manage to campaign for, and last, but not least, the money.
I respect Reese Witherspoon for not providing fuel to Meghan’s narcissism by attending their wedding, which was nothing more than a staged networking event so Meghan ( “Because I invited you to my royal wedding and you were dumb enough to show up, you now owe me.”) could continue her pattern of purely transactional relationships to advance her personal agenda.
Witherspoon, who said she was surprised to receive a wedding invitation because she “didn’t know them,” was classy and didn’t become an extra on the set of Meghan’s extravaganza.
Harry and Meghan don’t have even a shadow of an original thought in their brains, which is why they will produce content based on themselves, do documentaries, and appropriate stories submitted by unwitting members of the public who are likely unaware that they are signing away ALL rights to their story and much more that’s in the fine print when they click the “Submit” button on the Sussexes’s website.
H.G.Tudor read the entire agreement in one of his recent A Less Than Royal Narcissist analyses on his YouTube channel. That agreement, which many people won’t realize they are agreeing to, was incredibly iron-clad in the favor of Harry and Meghan. The submitter won’t get a penny.
Here’s the URL to the YouTube analysis by H.G.Tudor about how the “compassionate” Sussexes are screwing over anyone who sebds them a story of compassion. He reads the Archewell content submission agreement word-for-word.
Their greed in the document is downright scary.

"@GWAH

I'm not @GWAH nor am I going to act like I'm a COVID expert. But I do know Vit D should be taken with food in order to be effectively absorbed because it is a fat soluble vitamin. I've always taken the gel caps. Never had a stomach issue with 5,000 units a day or with 50,000 every 2 weeks.
Zinc- I've taken that for other reasons besides COVID. You MUST take it with food or be prepared to wish for death. Zinc on an empty stomach is really really bad.
@lizzie
Strangely enough I had a health professional tell me that most senior adult women don't get enough Vit. D so she advised 10.000 units a day and stupidly I did it for several years off and on (despite knowing it is a fat soluble vitamin and I should be careful). I ended up going to a nutrisionist in the Endoncrinology Dept who tested my blood for Vit. D and it was sky high and at such a dangerous level such that I could have hurt my kidneys. More a lesson that less is not better and to check with several reliable sources for health info.
Thanks for the warning. My doctor said to sit in the sun for at least 30 minutes a day to get my Vitamin D.
I can just see her swanning in while Harry is still getting out of the car and informing absolutely everyone she gets to speak to (plus some more within earshot) that it is her best birthday ever. Certainly much better than any birthday Harry ever planned for her. And when the time comes to sing and to cut the cake, Michelle is going to have to pull a Princess Anne to make sure Mrs. H isn't the one standing next to her husband with the adoring eyes she used to reserve for Harry (and occasionally Prince William). But the real Michelle is much smarter than the one in my scenario; she made sure the Harkles wouldn't be there at all. A beautiful preemptive strike.
Plus, their birthdays being on the same day means that Oprah, the Clooneys and other big-name guests whom Mrs. H might have invited to her own 65-person extravaganza will be choosing to go to other party instead. (Wow, it's just like high school!)
Of all the articles, I find the Page Six one most interesting, because it seems to be hearing directly from the Harkles:
"husband Prince Harry may still whisk her off on an intimate getaway, sources tell"
"Although it’s not yet known what exact plans Harry has for his wife, those who know them said there are plenty of spots near their $14.5 million home in Montecito where he can take his young family away."
Translation: Paparazzi, please be on high alert!
"While it was rumored that Markle is having a grand bash with Oprah Winfrey’s A-list party planner Colin Cowie at the helm, this is absolutely not happening."
I feel that this is another disgruntled intern writing. Maybe even the one who wrote the first article about "sources" saying that Colin Cowie would "absolutely" be planning Mrs. H's party.
And she's doing her own 40th party low key style to deflect from the fact, like Fergie, she just wasn't deemed worthy to make he cut out of 500 guests no less.
And it turns out it is a great time for the "not worthy" line to resurface again! (It's almost as if somebody planned this . . . Hmmmm!)
This could turn into a meme for Mrs. H . . . Obama's party? Not worthy. (Possible) statue-related event in September? Not worthy. Next year's Trooping? Not worthy. And on and on for the rest of her life . . .

Driven by curiosity and nothing else, I just watched one episode of "The Prince". Wow, is it ever terrible! (I don't see what it has to do with Netflix, however, as it's on HBO.) It's just . . . dumb. It's so dumb that no one should take it seriously.
@Teasmade
I did make a comment linking Netflix with The Prince because I got mixed up. Apologies for the sloppy lack of research and thanks for taking one for the team and watching an episode.
You did better than we could, if you were able to watch the entire episode. So agree with you. It was disgusting.
As to the non-invitation to the Obama party - she has been putting out floaters that the both the Obamas and Clinton's were grooming/supporting her for public office. So not getting an invitation has surely wounded her aspirations to be president.
Prince Harry's brutal swipe at Meghan for 'wanting to be a princess' in HBO show
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been savagely mocked in the new HBO cartoon from the creators of Family Guy, with Harry brutally ripping apart Meghan's hopes of being a princess in the episode
. . .
In the third episode, Harry and his beau Meghan (played by Condola Rashad) can be seen rehearsing lines and talking about jobs - with Meghan complaining about her acting career following her fame on legal drama, Suits.
A frustrated Meghan huffs before she says: "This sucks. On Suits I was a series regular. Attorney at law!" before Harry corrects here, saying: "Wasn't she a paralegal the first six seasons?"
Meghan then replies: "I don't know," before the conversation turns to their childhood dreams, with Harry admitting he wanted to be a massage therapist.
When Meghan questions her husband's surprising dream, Harry says: "You never had a dream when you were a child to be something everything else said was impossible, like an astronaut or prime minister, or masseur?"
Meghan then answers dreamily: "Ah... I wanted to be a princess."
But Harry then tells her: "Oh, well you kind of f*cked that up,", leaving his wife Meghan fuming.
This bit should be worth watching 🤣
Thanks for the reminder more isn't always better. (My D levels are checked periodically.)

Eve and madam, twisted sisters, cold,
heartless, lying, conniving trollops.
At least Eve could act, madam
All about Peeve
Folies Jollies
The histrionic hussy
With her underdeveloped pussy
Didn’t make Obamas list
Must be feeling rather pissed
Just a party for two
For the Folie a Deux
And no fuss-eh
She freely admitted that she's asked Mills & Boon for help with writing it and they suggested Marguerite Kaye, who was there alongside her in the studio.
My other observation is that, sadly, Time has not been kind to her face (she's 61 now)
I would, however, give her top marks for her honesty about both the collaboration on the book and her appearance.
@WildBoar
I agree, she hasn’t aged well.
Looks like a life lived in inner
turmoil etched on her face.
Sad.
I did read one review of it, linked above possibly. Didn't realize it was from the same people/person who does something else I don't watch, another stupid "adult" cartoon. This is just puerile and should remain beneath our notice. It should have nothing to do with the royal family. What garbage. My last word on this, I promise!
Bum’s Rush
What happened to blessed Doria
Not a peep from the mother, superior
Has she run off with the cash
Made a break from madam lash
Or is she still covering
her daughter’s posterior
I got this from LSA:
In the original version of the story, the paragraph says:
But her pal Marcus Barwell, Soho House’s director of development, persuaded her to add some sparkle to his party. Who would have guessed that a few months later he would be setting her up with Harry, 32, at the Toronto branch of the chain of clubs.
This is the first I've heard of this guy. So is this in fact the person that set them up?
Marcus Barwell
eta: both versions of the article say:
"Only a year before becoming one of the most famous women in the world as Prince Harry’s girlfriend, Meghan, 35, was drafted in to walk the red carpet at Soho House Istanbul’s opening party".
Soho House in Istanbul opened end of April 2015, so that means they did indeed meet in early May 2016 (in case anyone still had doubts).

My speculation:
It was not one person who set up the blind date. Marcus Anderson and Jessica Mulroney were probably part of the set up, and Meghan.
There was an overlap with Cory, hence she changed the date, and thus the location, in the article. Harry was fully complicit in that.
Some reports from so-called reputable reporters turn out to be true, like Dan Wootton writing about Megxit. Some are then shown as false, like Richard Eden stating that Harry would be meeting the Queen for lunch, and another about Harry having dinner with Charles (neither event happened).
Are the Harkles the source, either deliberately feeding the news cycle surreptitiously or talking a load of rubbish to someone who then passes it on and it then spreads and evolves before it gets to a reporter?
Is it people other than the Harkles just making stuff up, such as reporters wanting to fill space and earn ad revenue?
Do the Harkles have a mole at the Palace who feeds royal reporters with tidbits about the Sussexes?
Thank you @Swamp Woman, Girl With The Hat, XXXX and others who have shared their advise. Sorry if I missed yr names.
I feel better with something to work on now for prevention.
Back to Meg, I don't believe there is even a party of 600. Used as a ruse to distract from her no invitation from Obama. She also has no more than 10 friends and I am being generous here. Harry will prob get those working for them to throw her a tiny surprise thingy.
Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika is indeed beautiful. The first couple of stanzas are actually from a hymn for Africa, the third is from the old national anthem, and the last is new. Only three of the nine official languages are used for the anthem.

We’ve added Bobotie to our
family recipes.
Miss Mistie brought it back
from her Africa trip, volunteering
in Malawi, came home via S. Africa.
A spicy, juicier version of cottage pie?
Re: Fergie's appearance
I think @Hikari put it best in the last thread, when she said that both Sarah and Prince Andrew have earned the faces they really deserve.
Why do we get so many stories that are obviously not true about Meghan, mostly, and Harry being put out there and then proliferating on the Internet?
Because the truth is so boring that they have to make up stories in order to stay in the news? At least that's my guess.

I should have said about vitamin D, that some people cannot tolerate vitamin D supplements unless they are combined with vitamin A. Or, take a vitamin A supplement with your vitamin D. Some supplements combine the two but they are rather rare.
Also, take vitamin E in order to aid in vitamin D absorption.
And, finally, take vitamin K with vitamin D for aiding in calcium absorption. Especially if your doctor is telling you to take calcium supplements as well. Without the vitamin K, the calcium doesn't go where it's supposed to, i.e. the bones, but floats around the system, getting deposited in the arterial walls, stiffening them, and raising your blood pressure. Actually, it is best to get your calcium from food rather than from a supplement. Google "high calcium foods" to find which are best.
You can also get vitamin D from sunshine, if you live in an area where there is enough sunshine. Exposing 20% of your body for 20 minutes in North America during early August, for example, can give you thousands of IU's of vitamin D.
As for zinc, there are some forms which are more absorbed than others. I take zinc orotate, which is easily absorbable, but others take zinc picolinate which is supposed to be good as well, but should be taken with food, otherwise it will give you diarrhea. I heard that Swanson Vitamins in the USA have good quality vitamins at very good prices.

A snatch of dialogue from my first job:
Me: `Put that chewing gum in the bin. or...'
Schoolboy:`It's not chewing gum, Miss. It's biltong!'
@GWAH
I take D3 and K2
Have noticed I no longer
suffer from sinusitis, fingers crossed.
Probably lots of reasons from the trial balloon hoping someone takes the hint, there could always be a mole (in either camp) and the idea of just sending out something called information that people "need to know" as it is important people "know". This would allow people to later say it was incorrect or maybe it had been accurate but then because it was released by the other side, it is now called off. We don't know.
One of the words I'm hearing a lot in my other life is "jewel box". So I think of the idea of their party being described as jewel box because it is small, intimate (60+ really?) and would be the image they want to project they are: glittery, sensitive to the changing covid protocols and very very special (unlike someone else's party). I could and often am wrong though.
I am glad to hear it.
Love Kath & Kim! And Folies Jollies!!! ('Underdeveloped'?😉)

I think you're right to suspect that "jewel box" is a planted phrase. It certainly makes their party (and their ever-shrinking circle of contacts) look exclusive rather than abandoned. And it makes it seem as if people want to be invited into the glittery circle -- totally masking the reality that numerous people were already ghosted or made the choice to cut contact.
A few years ago, I learned that pinning a memorable image to your ideas helps to anchor them in people's minds. (Look at how much mileage "roast chicken," "chicken tacos," "crocodile" and "waffle maker" got and are still getting -- though not for the reasons the Harkles might like.) They're now getting more out of "jewel box" now than they got out of all the name dropping they've been doing for months. It will be interesting to see how their PR will work over the next few weeks to reinforce the sense of glitter and gold that "jewel box" is planting in public consciousness.
If Prince Harry was single, and living in the US as a private citizen, and engaged in worthwhile, honorable activities I think he may have been invited to Obama's birthday bash.
I agree!
And I propose that even if he weren't very active in any field, but living as a decent private citizen, he would have scored an invitation.
But I still think the real reason he's not getting invited anywhere is that nobody wants to deal with his wife. There have been several instances in my life when I saw how a man's choice of spouse could make or break him. In this case, she's breaking him.
(If I were @Magatha, I'd make a verse about Harry Dumpty having a big fall and everyone not being able to put him back together again.)
@Maneki
Look at me, look at me
Don’t look at me
Can’t you see
It’s all about me
And me, me me me…
I hadn't thought of that, but you are sooooo right. We've probably all seen examples of people that would be better off *without* their significant other. They're trying to compete in the giant swimming pool of life while chained to an anchor.
