Lots of questions about the future.
Are they likely to do some sort of flash PR for the holidays?
Or more from the prior publicized joint ventures? When will we see something from Netflix? Or more Spotify?
Or even Pearl?
And, what do you think the Holiday card will be?

Good that they're detaching themselves from the odious BBC.

Immaculate conceptions,

I vote for @WBBMs very funny depiction of * as the Assumption floating into heaven.
With arms across her chest, eyes in ecstacy. Harry and the two tots in the chicken coop cosplaying the manger scene. Tots faces blurred, of course. Harry is a befuddled Joseph, (forgive me Holy Family).
Lilibet, * & Archie, & * as Jesus, Mary and Joseph, plus Haz as the Donkey That Took Them To Bethlehem
Or else a similar nativity scene, with the Donkey asking `What do think of the show far?'
LavendarLady - from last thread - dy-no-mite!!! you are listening to a little to many JJ walker and his Medicare commercials (had to explain who he was to our culturally illiterate kids)
I like the running toward the struggle but only 6s wife will look back over her shoulder like the coquettish ingenue that she is
According to Lady C’s sources there was no such conversation about Archie’s skin colour, the point raised was cultural differences, but Maggot and Mole made it about colour and race. 😳
All that said, many mixed raced couples talk about what the babies skin colour might be, it’s just topical conversion. Of course Maggot and Mole wouldn’t view it like that. 🙄
@ Miggy, you were absolutely right about the Ellen and Maggot show and Lady C not bringing it up again yesterday. 😀
As for the Christmas and PR…another black and white card, a pap walk on the beach, I dread to imagine! 🙄😂
'Or else a similar nativity scene, with the Donkey asking `What do think of the show so far?'
In the event that Lilibuck$ isn't dark enough for *'s liking, * could apply some bronzer on her?
We all know the card will be arty farty and so tasteful 😉
'More importantly, his documentary will ensure that the Royal family now have ample reason not to co-operate with the BBC in the foreseeable future, and have already reportedly booted the BBC from covering their carol concert.'
I hope this is the end of the BRF's cooperation with the Biased Bigoted Coterie, sorry, BBC (as @Magatha called them).
For decades longer than I've been alive, the BBC was the gold standard of British broadcasting. I taught English in Japan for six years, where I encountered many Japanese students who said they listened to the BBC radio newsreaders to improve their English, as it was so imminently understandable. (I also encountered some young ladies speaking a bizarre brand of Asian-Aussie fusion English compliments of their Aussie instructor, but that is for another time). It's a shame the Beeb has sunk so low, but they've become a Woke Joke like so much of the media. I really like some of their television shows, too, but not even those are immune to Revisionist Woke History.
If the RF denies them any further access to the royal rota, that will be a severe banishment to Coventry and they might as well pack it in. Without Royal stories, where will they be? Our mainstream television networks Stateside are equally bad, but Presidential coverage does not and never will have the same cachet as covering the Royal family. The players change far too often in Washington to maintain mystique for long . . though many would say they don't change often enough in some cases.
My advice to *, after her flaming dump on the Ellen show is that she lie very very low and do nothing. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Happily for us in search of fresh material, I'm certain she will disregard this entirely. I think maybe we'll see a blurry sepia-toned photo of Harry's hand being clutched at by two little fists, one for 'Archie' and one for the as-yet-unseen girl child. Or perhaps we'll be treated to Christmassy photo of Lili in her Skunk Flower costume. How festive.
Once, that was because it had no cause to.
Now, when there's every reason for them to do so, they always piously insist they've done nothing wrong.
Narcissists, the lot of them.

Sorry, I have no speculation on the holiday card. They have all been terrible. Imagine their (her) stress in trying to come up with something appropriately deceptive each year!
- Left-wing acquaintances of mine, alert to every nuance of propaganda and manipulative reporting, once recommended taking note of who has the last word in news programmes. It's a sure-fire indicator of where the journalist's sympathies lie, even if one didn't know in advance.
It works beautifully with radio progs, especially with BBC news items. It's something that can't be hidden, even if the presenter/organisation has never revealed anything of their opinions.
I’ve only ever heard The Queen’s sun sign stated as Taurus, with Capricorn as her ascendant. 😃

I think * will insist on having her hand in it as well this time around. The left hand, of course. And it will be the least blurry of all the hands.
Imagine their (her) stress in trying to come up with something appropriately deceptive each year!
She is pathetically uncreative then! On this thread alone, several Nutties have given her at least five Christmases' worth of ideas!
Here's another one: Footprints in the sand! With "Happy Holidays" (or whatever the woke phrase is these days) written in the sand above four sets of prints. (They can hire foot models to stamp in the sand for them, if they're too busy scrolling through their phones to get to the beach.) And maybe a sprig of forget-me-nots in the corner, although * doesn't seem to be playing up the Diana connection any longer.
Gilding the Lili😂!! You're so witty😆! As for Manger Danger, what about mangy Megsy? Keep writing 😃
Craig Hamilton-Parker speaks briefly about the royal family in his predictions for the UK for 2022 ... about the 30-minute mark. He sees the Harkles losing a big court case and having to pay damages! Craig always stresses that he does not always get things right, and that would be a pity for this prediction!
Royal Christmas cards and photos for social media posts is very much, well ... a royal tradition. The Harkles are all over the place, trying to profit off the royal connection but acting more like a very bad copy of the Kardashians. From a PR point of view, they will want to outdo the royals, and the speculation over 'will we or won't we see Lilli' gives them free publicity, but they don't actually have any platform of their own ... other than the SussexSquad, Scobie, and ... who else?
Yes, indeed, TBW has very grandiose ideas about herself but is too stupid and shallow to have the sort of brilliant, tongue-in-cheek but brilliant, ideas found here.
@WBBM
The inclusion of the lawyer to deny the bullying was bizarre, but placing her at the end of the programme does indeed give her prominence. From what Scobie said on social media, the interviews were filmed a year ago. What was going on then that the Harkles were so freaked out about the bullying investigation? Scobie repeated his claims that royal aides were briefed by ther principals to smear the Harkles in the media, a claim by him that was removed from an ITV prgramme when William's lawyers stepped in. Since then, Scobie and Meghan have been outed as liars in British court. I wonder how worried Scobie is, if at all. It is all so messy, but entertaining!
A rumour is circulating on social media, but not gaining much traction, that Meghan wanted to sue over the bullying claims but her lawyers persuaded her not to. Who would she sue? Valentine Low, who had solid evidence but did not name his sources, other than Jason, who provided email corresondence as proof? The Queen for hiring lawyers to investigate? If I remember correctly, TBW was really pushing the image of being kind and compassionate about a year ago, and I think she really believes this narrative she creates. (All part of the pathology of the malignant narc.)
Tin foil hat time: I think someone at the BBC secretly briefed the royals on what is in the programme, hence the joint statement. I wonder how much frantc editing BBC are doing of part 2, if any at all.
All the better to merch those rings, my dear.
Mama Dorito may have pissed Someone off big time. Notice she has not been invoked once since last year’s “Paint by number with Archie”Christmas card debacle that saw her as both photographer and shoot stylist. Grandma Dorito got to pull Arch around in a vintage toy wagon but has she even ‘met’ her first granddaughter? Not that I’m hoping for any more grandchildren for Grandma Dorito, heavens forfend. Not that she, in my estimation, has got any grandbabies to date. Has Twat Scum ghosted her mother as well as her dad? Note zero mention of where Granny Dorito is spending her holidays. Perhaps the second fake grandchild was the final straw.
How I wish * would ghost the rest of us. What a relief that would be.
Nice catch! So it seems that * is estranged from not just her in-laws and her old friends, but also all her family. Well, except for Harry. Non-existent children don't count.
My opinion is that Grammy demanded $$$ to keep her mouth shut about twit and twat and * is furious (but the quietness indicates that * paid up).
On different tack, I've just seen a report on the BBC news about the Christmas exhibition at Windsor Castle, featuring the wartime Christmas pantomimes starring the real Lilibet & her kid sister Margaret. Gorgeous costumes, HM looking fabulous, the State Rooms en fete.
* will doubtless be spitting with rage - how dare they upstage her! I wonder if a) her card will reflect how she thinks she can better b)the Beeb is trying to be nice & make up for Tuesday's effort?
As the rumor mill has it, Doria is aces at extortion and graft. Taught her little Flower everything she knows. Little acorns don’t roll far from the tree that made them and all. I do believe that poor dim Thomas was the victim of not one but two scheming narcissists in his life. When the bigger one buggered off To a hippie commune or prison, which ever that was, he doted harder on his little princess, Not realizing that she was more insidious than her mother. Parents, especially dads, Take it for granted that they are the boss in their own home, but we know who was really running things in that show.
We’ve heard a lot from Thomas Markle, who stopped being granted any in-person contact with his daughter more than a decade ago. All he can do is refute stories From her childhood and young adult hood, since she hasn’t seen “Daddy” basically Since she went to Canada to work on Suits. Not having even met his daughter’s current husband Or either of his ostensible grandchildren, He’s got limited insights to contribute in *’s life now. An interview with Dorito On the other hand would be a freaking gold mine. From the way she looked at Harry at the wedding like he was a chicken dinner and licked her lips, I always had a feeling she was in on her daughter’s con. Not to mention her presence at the
Doom Posse in Toronto at Invictus. She might have gone along With a fake pregnancy story in order to goad H into putting a ring on it, But subsequent events very likely have gone to such an audacious level, that it’s even too much for Dorito to stomach. Meeting the queen of England and being on global television as her daughter married a prince was quite enough to dine out for a lifetime upon. But since things got really weird, and a scant 3 1/2 years, she has become A grandmother to two kids of suspicious provenance, A globetrotting transatlantic granny nanny on call and a family historian/holiday DP too. It’s amazing that someone so intimately connected to a couple as notorious and media-saturated as the Sussexes manages to keep such a little profile that I’m actually starting to worry about her continued breathing, if you know what I mean. The secrets that Doria knows must be terrifying to *. * was faking her first pregnancy badly from the get-go and I doubted her as early as December that year. When the New York baby shower happened the following February, Markle had become incredibly sloppy with the pretense. But the fact that her mother was not invited to the celebratory event for her first grandchild, Which was being held in New York expressly sell her American-based friends could attend, allegedly…That highlighted for me that not only was there no baby, at least not one gestating inside of *, and also that *’s use of her mom is just as transactional as all her other connections. Doria was not part of the “Duchess Takes Manhattan” cosplay weekend, but she needed to be trotted out when the “baby” arrived for those diversity points. Also it’s possible that Doria might’ve actually believed that she was really going to have a grandchild. You can scam some of the people some of the time, but you can’t scam your own mom into believing that you’re pregnant when she can see you and touch you In the same room. Hence Doria had to stay well away in California.
If Doria ever talks….That interview would be worth watching.
But I don't think Doria has been taken to the train station (gratuitous Yellowstone reference). Somebody would notice that she is missing, more so than *.
Maybe it is as simple as the "racism" thing didn't pay off for her from the royal family so Mommy no longer needs to be trotted out at intervals.
One reason I had forgotten about Doria is that there hasn't been much room for her in her daughter's narrative. Harry didn't mention her to James Corden (although he was loose-lipped enough about Archie's royal grandparents) and * didn't mention her to Oprah. We're supposed to focus on the BRF's neglect of * during her time as a senior royal; we're not supposed to ask any questions about how Doria was (or was not?) helping.
Doria was an asset to * in 2018 because people seemed to think it was adorable that she wore dreadlocks and a nose ring to a royal wedding. She also made * seem like a down-to-earth ingenue.
I think * got upset when the photo of a very casually dressed and barefoot Doria with "Archie" got leaked -- not because the paps had violated the privacy of her "child," but because Doria's clothing choices were a far cry from how she used to be presented to the public. (Part of me is wondering whether * had told her mother to expect to be photographed . . . and Doria wore the most embarrassing clothes possible just to embarrass her daughter. Straight out of *'s playbook for embarrassing the royals.) I doubt Doria is any happier with her daughter's demands than the rest of the staff (for yes, to *, her own mother counts as staff), but she has more power to put cracks in the facade than anyone else.
her hand will all her jewelry including the blood diamond pinky ring 😉
And with enough of the wrist showing so that her watch and bracelet can be in the shot, too.
With reference to what you said about TBW's relationship with her father ...
The last time she saw her father was November 2016 when Harry hired a house in LA for Meghan to spend Thanksgiving with her parents. (She posted on social media about that Thanksgiving with her parents but did not reveal that the Prince had funded the get-together.) Both Meghan and Doria were on good terms with Thomas at the time, and Meghan seemed to be selling the storyline to Harry of wonderful parents and everyone being on good terms with each other. (That was 6 months after she met Harry and I think it was just after that Thanksgiving celebration that she outed the relationship with Harry.) I think her father visited her once in Canada when she was living there, but that was before she captured the prince, or even put together a plan to do so, and she did not see a lot of either of her parents during those years.
Thomas is not telling the whole story, but I find that the interview questions are designed to elicit a specific piece of information and never dig deep into the real story. Here are questions I would ask:
Did Meghan make any attempt to see you when she was staying with Doria in LA and regularly being papped?
How often did she phone you in that time?
When was the last time you saw/spoke to Doria?
Did you have a plane ticket for that trip to the UK for the wedding? Did you have transport arranged? Did you know where you would be staying?
Who was making your suit? Were you ever measured for the suit?
Had you been briefed about who you would be meeting, what the protocol was, and what you should wear?
I’ve always been pretty suspicious about that happy family Thanksgiving compliments of Prince Harry narrative. The event that ostensibly happened five years ago this very day, and the only photograph I recall being posted was of three sets of hands in the frame clasped around the food. They were presented as the hands of daddy bear, mommy bear, and little flower, with all the appropriate skin tones, but since then we have been treated to oodles of other incidents of *’s favorite photo aesthetic: Arty shots of disembodied body parts that can be anybody’s she needs them to be. Hence, without corroborating full body pictures of the trio smiling and with other witnesses to this loving domestic weekend, we really only have Flower’s word that This pretty curated image which she presented to us as a family Thanksgiving actually happened. All of the other photos she’s ever taken have been tampered with and fictionalized to suit her narrative so why wouldn’t this be as well? Seeing as Harry’s Remembrance day official duties would have been concluded, and the fourth Thursday and November is no particular holiday in the United Kingdom, why didn’t he take the opportunity, ostensibly having paid a handsome sum to rent privacy for the get together to be there as well to meet his girlfriend‘s parents, particularly her father who he still has yet to meet in the flesh? I believe Thomas was by 2016 resident full-time in Rosarito, where he is exiled for financial reasons. The cost of living is lower in Mexico, but it was also my understanding that he faces some prosecution from our internal revenue service going to various liens against him After being bankrupted by his youngest daughter that would make it undesirable for him to return to the United States, as short a drive is it may be over the border. If this holiday pilgrimage back to L.A. actually happened, it would’ve been risky for Thomas, but one holiday and 10+ years doesn’t constitute a substantial in person relationship with her father, even if she was in contact with him more via phone or mail prior to getting involved with Harry. Cui bono?…Who benefits? That is always a question to ask where * is concerned, and the answer is always: She, Or she doesn’t put it out there. She needed time is to be happy daddy back then until she needed him to be heartless monster daddy. I don’t think any more holiday get togethers with either parent are in the cards…Both have outlived their usefulness to her.
Meghan is being called a 'desperate reality TV star' in French headlines!
--------
True! I've just checked but it's just a repeat of UK articles, included Piers Morgan's. Nevertheless, it's good to know her reputation is being trashed in another country.
Archie and Lilibucks will be there, but no visible faces.
Meghan needs to control these photos partly because she probably has shopped around for a payout for first Sussex family photos and withholding the faces of these children is also a way to control Charles and the Queen who have probably only seen a few photos of Lilibucks since she was born and limited photos of Archie too.
For a narcissist like Meghan, those two children serve as weapons, bargaining chips, and insurance policies all rolled into one for Meghan’s use against Harry to keep him in line, to as hostages of a sort to make sure he returns to Cali when he visits the UK, and against HMTQ and Charles.
However, I think the palace sent a message of “We can get along without you and your alleged children” by holding the recent double baptisms. If Harry and his wife had been on decent terms with his family, it could have easily been a triple baptism. But perhaps Meghan didn’t want to have to share the spotlight with two other royals.

"In between the time that her relationship with Harry was made public and she moved in with him, she was photographed a lot in LA, with and without Doria. She made no attempt to visit her father in Mexico nor did her and Doria invite him to LA to visit."
I may be wrong but I think she was photographed a lot aka papwalked a lot in Toronto and not LA. Doria was pictured alone a few times in LA and twice in Toronto with Meg - one time in the stadium and another tie with walking with Meg and their yoga mats.

I thnk the last time she was photographed with her father was at her wedding to Trevor, if you don't count the photograph with hands for Thanksgiving in LA.
To claim that she could not visit him in Mexico because of the media does not make sense as the media were all over Doria, at home in LA and when she visited her daughter.
A narc is obssessive about control. Doria is easy for her to control because she keeps her mouth shut. Thomas and her half-siblings are impossible for her to control because, like Meghan, they never shut up! Her family on Doria's side also spoke to the press, posed for photographs and gave the press photographs of her when she was younger. All ghosted! (But I suspect that she is still in contact with Doria's much younger half brother, who is a graphic artist, and who has been seen visiting Doria since the Harkles moved to LA.)

The facts about the new variant detected in South Africa.
https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/coronavirus-all-the-latest-news-about-covid-19-in-south-africa-and-the-world-20200312
"South Africa has recorded 2 465 coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours bringing the total infections to 2 952 500.
The death toll is 89 771 after 114 more deaths were reported.
A total of 25 123 452 vaccinations have been administered - 121 220 in the past 24 hours."
"UPDATE: A total of 38,075 tests were conducted in the last 24hrs, with 2,465 new cases, which represents a 6.5% positivity rate. A further 114 #COVID19 related deaths have been reported, bringing total fatalities to 89,771 to date."
Yes, it is spreading rapidly in the north of the country but there has not been a rapid increase in people requiring hospitalisation or deaths. We do not yet know if vaccines are less effective against it, how much so and which ones ... scientists are still investigating that. (Never mind that a lot if people still do not understand that vaccines do not make you immune. What they do is 'teach' your immune system to immediately recognise the virus and have an immune response ready to act immediately to shut it down before it can spread and cause damage.)
Logic says that the new variant is more infectious, as it is spreading rapidly.
But, what we don't know yet is if it is more deadly. Almost 50% of South Africans have been vaccinated, so most of the adult population. How effective are the various vaccines in preventing severe illness and death? We don't know yet, but hospitals and morgues are not being overwhelmed, as in the first and second waves.
Soyth Africans are hoping that Christmas will not be cancelled (!), but the economy will suffer hugely as the whole of Southern Africa has been isolated from the world for tourist peak season. We have essentially been shut down.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10244107/Princess-Dianas-former-bodyguard-insists-cheated-one-colleagues.html
I find the article by Richard Kay fascinating.
It reminds me of the Harkles in some ways: The truth is not something straightforward to be discovered. It is all rather messy. As with Diana, the Harkles say one thing to this person and another to that person. As with Diana, the Harkles have a passionate supporter in the media, but Scobie is not Richard and he pretends a closeness with the Harkles that I do not think he has.
I think the article does show that Charles was telling the truth: that he only renewed his affair with Camilla after his marriage had irretrievably broken down. The big problem was, I think, that Charles regarded the marriage as irretrievably broken down but Diana did not. He stopped trying.
PS In my opinion, infidelity does not have to be sexual to cause major problems in a marriage. The focus seems to be on 'did she or did she not' have a sexual affair with the bodyguard. That does not really matter as it is clear she had an intimate emotional bond with him, and it is not helpful in dealing with marital problems if the intimacy and confessions are with someone else and not the spouse.
I think she was photographed a lot aka papwalked a lot in Toronto
-------
I thought she wasn't papped in Toronto but had to call the paps in order to show her face and to play the damsel in distress for H's benefit. She certainly wasn't pursued by the paps like Diana, whatever she may have said, in fact nobody knew who she was.
Does she love to go a-wandering with her lap-sack on her back??
Perhaps hap hazard has whispered some family secrets or family rumors into someone ear and the Eden revelations are ways to get ahead of certain things in case Narc unleashes her rage. Problem is Narc would unleash lies if it could cause chaos so no amount of anticipatory PR can stop that train wreck.
Scorpiotwentythree of Tumblr has a theory that a lot of unflattering stories about Diana are coming out now (and will continue to come out) in order to strike preemptively against any resistance to Camilla being crowned. The implication is that most people who still have a problem with Camilla have appointed themselves the holders of Diana's grudges.
If that's true, it's definitely a sloppy strategy that I can only see backfiring. Camilla has done a lot of good work for BRF since she finally married in; she doesn't need Diana to be lowered for her to look good. She has also never dredged up the past in order to tell her side of the story -- a decision that has only made her look more dignified. (It's a pity that the Harkles couldn't have followed her example.)
My opinion is that the best PR is to allow Camilla to be her own person. Someone we can talk about with constantly referring back to Diana.
You are wicked, in the most entertaining way!
Just puttng this out for interest, and curiosity to find out if this is accurate or way wrong:
I did a few quick tarot spreads for the Harkles yesterday while we had one of two power outages. Two interesting things came up.
In all three spreads the cards seemed to say clearly that the Harkles will do a renewing of vows, inspired by something she saw about some famous person doing this and getting publicity. Her idea; Harry not keen but will do it to please her. (Lots of wishful thinking and playing happy families came up in in all the readings except for Harry - the cards say he is way too busy trying to earn the money to pay for it all!)
The other interesting 'revealation' was the Tower card in Meghan's spread, specifically in the position of what comes next. One tarot reader I follow but think is bonkers has seen the Tower for the Harkles for a long time. When I checked in on another tarot reader I follow, I saw that she got the Tower for Meghan in her latest reading. (Tower basically means everything you have built comes crashing down as it is built on illusions/falsehoods. The event that brings it crashing down is usually depicted as an outside force, like a massive bolt of lightning.)
Yes, she called the paps for her papwalks. All arranged by her - from dropping hints about her relationship to H on IG and self-arranged harrassements from the paps.
the Harkles will do a renewing of vows, inspired by something she saw about some famous person doing this and getting publicity
It's not quite the same thing, but this made me think of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's bizarre recreation of their wedding.
So now I'm wondering whether * will go for something tasteful (albeit still showy) or if she will realize that she'll get more headlines if something about it is a train wreck.
Also: If she does have a renewal ceremony . . . will Doria be invited???
Also: If she does have a renewal ceremony . . . will Doria be invited???
I read that and the first thought that popped into my head was "will Harry be invited?" lol
Lurking - yes will he be invited!! nah, at least not in the photos or maybe he gets a back of the head shot!
so who is gonna be at the renewal - their friends the Clooney's, Oprah and Gayle? Serena and hubby? Jessica? Ellen? or will it be new best friends because the old ones seem to have ditched her. If she were clever, and I would give her kudos if she did it, she should invite her favorite archbishop who is on the US sabbatical to perform the ceremony in the backyard. Now that worthy!!!
@Sandie said - "The last time she saw her father was November 2016 when Harry hired a house in LA for Meghan to spend Thanksgiving with her parents. (She posted on social media about that Thanksgiving with her parents but did not reveal that the Prince had funded the get-together.)"
@Hikari said - "Seeing as Harry’s Remembrance day official duties would have been concluded, and the fourth Thursday and November is no particular holiday in the United Kingdom, why didn’t he take the opportunity, ostensibly having paid a handsome sum to rent privacy for the get together to be there as well to meet his girlfriend‘s parents, particularly her father who he still has yet to meet in the flesh? "
*************************************************************************************
I recall reading that Harry was due to be at the LA house he rented for Thanksgiving. We don't know how far in advance he booked the rental or how much notice he was given by Granny to represent her on a tour of the Caribbean. I'm thinking that this is the reason he didn't attend in LA!
Prince Harry will undertake an official visit to the Caribbean on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen, between 20th November and 4th December.
https://www.royal.uk/prince-harry-visit-caribbean
That's a good question... and I don't know the answer!
I am guessing the official visits takes months of planning and only is made public just before for security reasons.
I would guess this too... but it's possible that other Royals have stepped in for the Queen
at short notice in the past. I'll need to do some research but haven't got the time at the moment.
Coming on Thursday. 😱 https://t.co/6fWS00gOf4

Remember. We never claimed the site pays Markle directly (though designers have) we never claimed the site speaks directly to Meghan (Markle avoids the possibility of direct involvement via use of mouthpieces) and we conducted a lengthy Digital investigation. Thank you.

The Body Language Guy picked up something interesting about the editing that manipulated what was said to change its meaning perhaps. It seems that the Harkles are ok with misinformation in the media as long as it supports their narrative (not the truth). But, we already knew that!

Do we have clarity yet on when we will have a judgment on ANL's attempt to appeal the vedict of the Summary Judgment given by Warby, so long ago?
Although I do think that the copyright issue is clear, according to British law, and both Daily Mail and Thomas Markle could have achieved their aims without breaching copyright, I do think that an indepth debate about the law and its application is needed.
I think ANL do have a strong case to argue for the privacy aspect, but I suspect that no matter how despicable the person is or how much they seek attention through the media, they do still have a right to privacy. Does public interest trump this in the case of the letter to daddy? Did the public have the right to be presented with evidence that a highly paid public servant who represented the head of state, government and country was not what she seemed?
Perhaps most important: Did Warby jump the gun by not examining all the evidence, and allowing her to win the case and claim huge compensation based on false and incomplete evidence?
I thought Warby screwed up big time, but I'm just an outsider.

Re: the renewal of vows
I'm casting my bet for a back-of-the-head shot for Harry, too. Either using an actor with a full head of hair or digitally adding in more hair, as was done for the TIME spread.
Then a picture of clasped hands. With her ring flashed as prominently as possible.
If it happens again, shall we ignore it or treat it as a `source of innocent merriment'? She must be going nuts checking out every single online asterisk.
I just watched the Body Language Guy clip. I found it interesting that he commented on Harry's "word salad" before he began the visual analysis. While "word salad" (or "word soup") had crossed my reading/listening before I had ever heard of *, it is used to describe her writing and speeches so often that I feel it didn't become a common term until after she burst onto the scene. And I have a hunch that Mr. Rosas knows that, too -- and that the initial points about word salad from Harry were mostly directed at *. Some lovely shade there!
Also, what Harry said about "stepping back" instead of "stepping down" is pattered after his wife's own rhetorical style. (Remember "not a handout, but a hand held" from Smartworks? I know there are more, but I can't remember them at the moment.) I don't think he (or his scriptwriters) talked this way before he met *.

A bit OT:
In response to your question what did I mean about HM being on the Taurus Aries cusp and how does it relate to her taking care of business:
I do not consider myself an astrologist I just think the sun signs can be strangely accurate. I can almost tell a person's sun sign by just knowing them for awhile. This is why I refused to work with Scorpios, Aries, and Leos (the lion women). Too much high drama. No offense to those signs just my experience and I have family members of those signs.
Taurus is known as the bull. And yes every Taurus I have known is stubborn! And Aries as the BOSS and gets er done- no matter what. Virgo is the strong work ethic of the zodiac but Aries is determined beyond determined to succeed.
HM is elderly but still extremely tenacious and determined. I believe this comes from her being on the Taurus Aries cusp. I don't know her whole chart so there are surely other aspects that we see in her, dutiful, loyal, leadership, etc.
I see her mostly as a leader of a faith and a woman of great faith. IMO she is a real believer. She lives it everyday! So I say she has Divine guidance not because she is TQ but because she is a believer...

Re: tarot
My cards of choice are the classic Rider Waite deck because a dear friend (who is gone now) was an author and the most skilled, experienced, intuitive tarot reader I have ever known. She gave me the RW deck with her knowledgeable wisdom of that deck keeping it simple.
The reason being is the clarity of the intuition is derived from the cards. She said too much graphics, and it skews the intuition of the read. She went on to share that readers are intuitives not psychics or all the other trendy psycho babble. So intuition is crucial for a good read.
Sure there are many gorgeous decks but because of what that tarot master shared, I stick with the RW deck. 99% of the YT readers are quacks.
Just my oionions here on those two subjects.

@snarky,
Funny you mention the JJ Walker Medicare ads. I had never seen one until the day after I read your post. I don't have cable just streaming services. My sister has cable and watches a lot of Hallmork movies. I went to visit her and there was JJ lol.
I am old as dirt so I remembered dy-no-mite from the original show Good Times which I watched as a tween/teen. I love those olds shows All in the Family, Jeffersons, Sanford and Son (a take off of Steptoe and Son, England). Along with the other great classics from the 70s. Those shows would never make it past the pilot test these days which I find rather sad.
Ok. Back to the Sizzler bunch. Lol.
Lol. Yes, the energy spent on tracing every wrong word said about her could have been spent on being a decent member of the RF. Imagine that.
I vote ignore them and wait for @abbyh to delete.
OK, will do.

No real worrying reports of increased severe illness or mortality with this new super variant. We don't know yet if this new variant is more infectious but not more deadly or if the vaccines are effective against it. A major hospital in Gauteng is reporting more youngsters turning up seeking treatment, and the vaccination rate in that demographic is much lower than for the oldies, but overall we don't have enough data yet. Scientists are working to get answers as soon as possible. Note that the South African scientific community sent out the alert to the whole world as soon as it was detected and is providing samples to all vaccine manufacturers so they can produce updated vaccines. I think the president and the advisory group of scientists are going to speak to the nation this weekend so we should get more info then.
As in elsewhere in the world, media reports sometimes contradict each other, but South Africans are so over this virus now and we just want to get on with work, our lives, and our festive summer season! (And we are mostly annoyed with the rest of the world for having a panic attack and cutting us off, in Summer holiday season too!)

In 2018, the band played the Royalty Variety Show and before the performance, they were filmed chatting with Prince Harry and Meghan.
Harry was caught deep in small talk with Take That members and marvelled at the fact the boy band had formed 30 years ago.
Then, in what was an awkward exchange, Mr Barlow turned to the Duchess of Sussex and said: “He’s been on one of our records.”
Meghan touched her hair awkwardly before politely laughing, as though she didn’t know whether the former X Factor judge was joking.
In response Mr Barlow added: “We’re serious!”
Harry then chipped in to confirm the Take That singer’s story, saying: “In Jamaica, wasn’t it?”
Mr Barlow then replied: “That’s right. He really is on there.”
Meghan’s eyes widened, and she then said: “Oh my goodness, you learn something new every day.”
-----
I don't expect partners to tell each other everything, but I do find it odd that Harry did not mention to her his connection to the band (what about in the car as they were driven to the engagement .. hey, Honey, I ...?) nor did staff mention it in a briefing before the engagement. Plus, wasn't that Jamaican tour when they had been dating for about 6 months and he had put out the love shield statement to the press reprimanding them for being horrible to his girlfriend? Or was it another tour?
Then I remembered that they had split from KP by then and their new staff was not chosen for the ability to do the proper job of royal courtiers, plus, she probably was not even pretending to be interested in anything not about her by that point. A lesson in how a narc shoots themselves in the foot (she would have been furious and blamed him/staff for embarrassing her)!

They tried to project 'the greatest love story ever told' with all that hand holding and her weird staring at him, but surely the intimacy of love involves sharing stories and really getting to know each other? I wonder why William got it right but Harry did not?
I just think it is normal for him to have said to her some time before that engagement something like 'hey, in **** in Jamaica, I recorded a song with Take That'. I definitely expect royal courtiers to have prepared a briefing document that included a summary of his history with the group.
She would claim that she was deliberately sabotaged by royal courtiers, but by then they had their own handpicked staff and were in control of their own separate Sussex brand. Really, it looks to me like a narc shooting herself in the foot and I hope some credible folk notice this and point it out in the media. I doubt that it would wake up either of the dastardly duo, but it may be part of the response to the looming 'Sussex Squad' type part 2 of the BBC documentary.
Sussexit? Really?! It makes no sense. His rant about the term Megxit makes no sense! But perhaps part of their resentment is about losing the Sussex Royal brand. That was a masterstroke from the Queen!

Dear Christopher also claims in the book that Charles is the 'racist' and made the 'racist' comments to Camilla, a conversation that dear Christopher repeats word for word, even with quotation marks.
Is there a publisher putting their name to this insanity? How about Harry retrieving his you-know-whats and speaking some truth? Could and would Charles and Camilla threaten legal action or release a statement saying that this is fantastical fiction and the conversation never happened?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Andersen
I view Andersen as a tabloid-style writer, even though he started out at Time magazine, but Simon & Schuster used to be a top-class publisher with a sterling reputation. Perhaps they need the revenue that media like People magazine generates and the book has a long and wordy disclaimer that basically says that the book is fiction based on true characters and events (what The Crown producers refused to do).

A spokesperson for Prince Charles told The Post: “This is fiction and not worth further comment.” A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan did not respond to requests for comment.”
The fictional narrative put out there in this book by Christopher Andersen must be one that the Sussexes like. For all their endless blabbing about the media and trolls, as they jump onto various bandwagons, when given an opportunity to make a comment about fiction written about them, making false accusations against his brother and father, they say nothing.
She has admitted in public that she is a fraud, but I wonder if he ever looks in the mirror and thinks 'How did this happen? What is the truth? What is real? Is she worth the price I have paid and will continue to pay to be the faithful supportive husband I promised to be?'
Sounds more like Andersen's tales
I see what you did there ;)
they tried to claim H wanted to leave the BRF even before he met her.
Agreed. I remember him saying that he did not want to be royal years before * came along.
In fairness to Harry, the Royal Variety Show features several performers; Take That wouldn't have been the only group to take the stage that night. And when you get to do so many interesting things with various famous people, you're likely to forget a lot of them. Gary Barlow mentioning the tambourine playing was probably the first time Harry had remembered it in years.
For me, what made it awkward was *'s reaction: * "touched her hair awkwardly before politely laughing, as though she didn’t know whether the former X Factor judge was joking." We already know that she laughs at inappropriate moments. This was just another one of them.
I watched this today on catch-up and it was far better than I expected.

Great minds!…I rushed over here to post the Page Six article about Chuck being the racist and see you just had.
If a prospective grandfather muses as to what his legendarily ginger son’s DNA might look like in combination with *’s, why does that paint him as a racist ogre? I’d wager that millions of others who watch the engagement interview were thinking the same thing, only, we did not have our speculations from inside our own minds published in the papers. I’ve got zero regard for *, But as much as I hate her, the fact remains that she still the better-looking of the pair. The father of the groom was no doubt trying to picture a child coming out with Harry’s hair only less pale, And trying to integrate that image into his mind palace. Weren’t we all? Furthermore, how did this ostensibly private conversation between Charles and Camila get conflagrated to such epic proportions? Was a courtier hanging over Chas’s shoulder copying every word?
* has conveniently forgotten All the myriad ways in which Charles has demonstrated very publicly he’s not racist welcoming of her in to the family—He not only stood in for her father, something which * orchestrated herself by Accidentally on purpose forgetting to invite her own father and contributing to the stress which made him too ill to attend anyway; though she probably was hoping William would do the honors. Charles was also exceedingly courtly to her mother, and it is my understanding that it was he who organized all of the “black” elements of the wedding, no? Charles has countless and deep relationships with persons of color from all over the world, including American black people, so viewed through that lens, he could be said to be more black than *.
Dr. Ramani on Baiting. Very good!! It's what * does to the RF.
Good thing they know how to not engage which is an invaluable tool in dealing with the narc.

magatha. you are too clever for words. shriveled walnuts, santa’s sack. i’m dying!!!!
My humblest apologies but I am struggling so much with copy and paste. It is another excerpt from the book, and I find it as odd as the others I mentioned/referenced.
Are we to believe that this author knows what William said to Catherine? Exactly what the Queen said and did during the filming for the broadcast? Exactly what the royals said and did at Sandringham on Christmas day?
I wonder if the 'inside source' is not Harry, making up whatever sounds good to him?
Should we consider all the others not in the direct line of succession who did not go off in a huff, like the Queen's children? There was also no photograph of the Queen's mother.
If the Sussexes are not actually this childish, petty and shallow, why are they not simply condeming it as a work of fiction, as Harry's family have done?
As Lady C said, `shallow as a teaspoon'.
------
If * is being her own attack dog now, does this mean they've no money to employ others to do their dirty works? Or have unpaid Sugars told them where to get off?
It's odd enough that we have direct quotes of a private conversation between Prince Charles and Camilla. But then we're also told that Camilla was "somewhat taken aback." Did Andersen manage what some of us used to wish for back in 2019 and turn himself into a fly on the walls of the BRF's private homes?
There's also something awfully convenient about the dialogue. "I wonder what the children will look like" is a totally innocuous thing to say. It sounds like every grandparent in the world, including those whose children have spouses with the same skin tone, hair color and eye color. How lucky for BRF bashers, then, that Camilla (herself a grandmother) had apparently never heard such a question in her life and needed Charles to clarify that he was talking about "complexion."
And is that particular word raising anyone else's eyebrows? It makes me think of someone in Montecito flipping through a thesaurus for an appropriately highfalutin word to substitute for "skin tone." Something that sounds like a posh British septuagenarian said it. I'm kind of disappointed she didn't go for "pigmentation."
The quotes from Prince William are even more unusual. I doubt that the quoted "confidant" is one of his good friends, as his circle have been very loyal and discreet for years.
Andersen either has the most incredible sources that royal reporting has ever known . . . or is making things up with the hubris of Zeus. And hey, why not both? For on the one hand, Harry and * would be the best sources, wouldn't they? If you could prove you got everything from the horse's mouth (or from the horse's rear end, whichever applies here), then the buck will stop with them instead of with you. Especially if they were dumb enough to put it in writing that could be tracked back to them or to say it on a recording.
On the other hand, as proven liars, they're also the most unreliable sources ever. Which anyone with half a brain has figured out by now. If Andersen didn't know it before they contacted him, then he surely did after he he got the "quotes." But he has obviously decided to play along. If we thought that * feigning innocence and ignorance during the engagement interview was outrageous, we'll have a field day when Andersen has his turn saying he never, ever expected anything but the truth from the Harkles.
Agreed! To think that the content of the book contains actual quotes of private conversations between members of the BRF is highly sketchy and totally improbable IMO.
Parents, grandparents, and great grandparents all over the world have been speculating on the appearance of yet unborn babies forever! Very normal topic of conversation between family members.
In my family, my grandsons have two brown-haired parents; one parent with brown eyes and one parent with blue eyes. One grandson turned out to be a blue-eyed blonde who is the spitting image of his great grandmother's brother. He looks nothing like his brother who is the spitting image of his brown-haired, brown-eyed father. The inheritance of physical characteristics is dependent upon the gene pool, and you don't really know how they will look until the baby is born. Speculating before the impending birth between family members is normal and fun. And nothing to be upset about unless a person is looking for an issue to blow out of proportion.
The Page Six article was interesting. I really found the YouTube on Baiting to be an accurate reflection of the experiences I have had with narcs.
Is this why TBW and JH can’t read the room and constantly blunder their Global Domination Machinations and TBW’s huge timeline PR planner? They misread and lie about everything: the general public’s, the media, their own families, etc.
They are so focused on themselves and looking at themselves, they miss the world around them.

Like others above, wow I am impressed by the ability of how someone was able to get specifics of conversations which have remained hidden for several years. Jaw droppingly specific from people I least expect to spill beans (or even hot tea) to their closest.
Take for example this one little segment
https://pagesix.com/2021/11/28/book-queen-elizabeth-snub-prompted-harry-meghan-leaving/
Doesn't name names but says that the source is the same person who arranged the photos. And, it appears they were there when this was all said (how certain others were not to be in a direct line of sight).
Well, isn't this sorta right after someone may have gotten upset about new photos showing the direct line of heirs to HM?
If so, then IDK but I wonder if something was said by certain noses out of joint (we know Catherine was least likely to be saying anything about how the two other heirs were also not included but had higher rank than anyone else down stream) and that got back to HM?
Or maybe that it was more about the people she was to see that day that she wanted their photos beside her? (don't know who was to be there or who was in the photo just to the side of Prince Philip just to her right shoulder)? The (photo) support of people not in the room with her while she does her duty for the country as she knows she is getting older and older?
What was also not included was that there was a specific mention of that family in that same speech. (oh.) And, does not refer to any of the other heirs specifically by name. (oh my).
Hmm. Quite the stirring of the pot. This is only one snip from the book.
First says the RF has lawyers on standby for tonight's 2nd instalment of 'The Princes and The Press' and has not ruled out taking action.
Second says Prince Charles' aides have denied the comments about race supposedly made by Charles in Christopher Anderson's book 'Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan' as fictional.

I've written two comments about about "BRF fanfiction" that seemed to have been published successfully, but then vanished when I refreshed the page. If they violated one of the rules of this blog, that was not intentional and I won't try to leave the comment again. But in case they're disappearing for another reason, I thought I'd give you a heads up. Thanks!
Are you referring to your 2 posts which commenced with Having finally read the Page Six articles about the new book, I share everyone's skepticism. ?
If so, I've refreshed my page and can still see them.
No, I mean posts in which I compare Andersen's claims to actual fanfiction, written by people who like to imagine things about the BRF.
Ah!
I've now taken a look... and I also can't seem to find those posts on this page.
How strange!

I would be interested in reading your post about comparing the Andersen book with fanfiction, so am disappointed that the post disappeared.
Perhaps moderation was on, so posts were saved until approved by moderators?
I thnk that an objective critique of the Andersen book and the techniques it uses would be most useful in highlighting critical thinking skills and differentiating between fact and fiction and many other higher order thinking skills. Also, fanfiction is not immune to crossing the line for copyright infringement, libel or invasion of privacy.
But even I am intrigued by the perhaps tinfoil hat idea that the Harkles collaborated with Andersen as they did with Scobie, which is why he writes with the confidence of actually knowing what people did and said in private even though he has no credible source for this knowledge.
Actually, it is perfectly normal and common practice for a representative of the Queen to attend independence celebrations for a former colony, and the move from being a Commonwealth realm (the minority) to being a republic within the Commonwealth (the majority) should be celebrated in the same way. There are some countries in the Commonwealth (a minority) that even have their own monarch as head of state.
I just find the criticism of Charles being present in Barbados perplexing. It would be a major internatinal incident if the Queen did not have a representative there, and that it is Charles sends the message that Barbados is held in high regard by the Queen and the British people.
Personally, I do not agree with a local being elected to fulfill the role of head of state to replace the Queen. But, like America, my country does not have a politically elected leader AND a head of state ... one person takes on both roles as president by the will of the people (democratically elected) for a fixed term.

https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1528549/prince-charles-news-racist-royal-family-claims-meghan-harry-oprah-interview
Thanks. I have a hunch about what the problematic word might have been, so I'll try to leave it out of this one.
In my original comment, I said that I had been exposed to different types of BRF fanfiction for years. And the things that the FF writers choose to imagine about the BRF say much more about them than about the latter. For instance, there's one group that gets a kick out of imagining that the straight-laced royals might be a bit naughtier in private. And there's another group that just likes to imagine what the BRF might get each other for Christmas or how the married couples might celebrate anniversaries. And now we have Andersen, who is giving us a narrative in which * is a total victim.
In this narrative, Prince Charles talks like the villain of a Victorian period drama. And Camilla is "taken aback" to discover that a man she has known very intimately for decades could harbor such thoughts, because there was clearly never a hint of it since the 1970s. *clutches pearls* In the meantime, the Queen disregards work that courtiers have carefully done for her, in order to devalue her grandson and his wife in the most public way possible. (This is pure narc inversion right here!) And Prince William is a fumbling manipulator who can't get better minions than his uncle Earl Spencer.
There are simply too many implausible things to believe in one go. And those are just the first leaks; there will surely be more! And they're all at the service of selling the narrative the the BRF were against * from the very beginning and for prejudiced reasons.
Fanfiction writers can be very passionate about the characters and celebrities they write about -- and protective toward their vision of their idols. The only one I can imagine being passionate and protective enough about * to write a complex "multi-chapter fic" about her is, well, * herself.
Thanks so much. I was vaguely aware that fanfiction exists but know very little about it.
So, Andersen's book (and, indeed, The Crown series) are essentially fanfiction that refuse to be labelled as such. Andersen claims to have insider sources that will remain unnamed. (Reminds me of the engagement interview ... blind date set up by an unnamed mutual friend at an unnamed time and location, to protect her privacy!) If such a source does exist for Andersen, it is probably the Sussexes through an intermediary, and analysis shows that they could not have the knowledge that they claim to have. But, the claim of an unnamed insider source is the cover the publisher and author use to give credibility to fictional fantasy.
Hiding the identity of a source is something that has its origins in whistleblowers, who needed to be protected, providing evidence of corruption and illegal activities. The shallow elite, such as the Sussexes, have hijacked this concept to serve a self-centred and dishonourable agenda.
In her court case, TBW is basically saying that rights to privacy trumps all others when evaluating fair use. Perhaps if ANL is granted the right to appeal, they will argue more vigorously in their defence that privacy cannot be used to cover up corruption and dishonesty and illegal activities, and the rights granted by copyright law are not absolute (and are meant to protect the financial interests of the creator, which are not applicable in her case).
Perhaps I am trying to convince myself that ANL will win the right to appeal because I suspect that more will be exposed about the Sussexes in an appeal, and the only way she can prevent that is to withdraw and take a huge financial hit.
Your comparison of the depiction of Charles in the incendiary book as a Victorian villain is so apt. All that we’re missing are the mustaches, since he already owns many top hats.
We recognize elements of *’s historically juvenile creative writing style straight off. Her melodramatic soap lines are on the level of General Hospital, a show her dad worked on. It’s clear from the latest revelations the Charles is the one and her sights now…It’s been 18 months since Daddy-in-law cut off the cash spigot and this is payback time now. They’ve tried wiggling their way back to the trough, with the incessant PR stories about holiday visits, jovial zoom calls and Royal baptisms that haven’t transpired, and won’t be. Charles isn’t having any of it, and he’s not playing along. This is vindictiveness pure and simple. The knife is extra twisty, because out of all the royal family, whom do we suppose would be the MOST gutted by an accusation of racism? Charles. The one who both publicly and in private seems to have gone out of his way to welcome his new mixed race daughter-in-law. Seeing as * knew so few actual black folks herself, the Prince of Wales was of inestimable help in arranging the diversity Wedding Show. Wasn’t he the one responsible for Bishop Curry and the gospel choir? He definitely invited the young black cellist who was the highlight of the proceedings for me.
I dare say Camilla would be taken aback indeed to learn that her precise state of mind during a private imaginary conversation was so explicitly known to a journalist who was not present. Either he’s gotten mind reading Powers like Professor X…OR The entire thing is the most hurtful kind of BS fiction. But we know Harry’s wife rolls exactly like this.
These two aren’t ever going to quit. I hope the RF realizes this. Harry is entirely complicit; If he never wanted to or been capable of putting the brakes on her at any point, it never would’ve gotten this bad. He and Judas Iscariot have a lot in common, and we know what happened to him.
Thanks for the link to the SueMe commentary!
@Miggy,
Thanks so much for the SueMe share. I loved it! I hadn't heard of her so I am happy to have some new material to watch.

She's a hoot! Throughout the vid I thought two things. The Sussex Shenanigans are just a part of water seeking it's own level in that, as we know, MSM is polarized right down the middle. So yes, BBC is going to doctor facts to meet it's agenda. No surprise there.
And, the sugars refusing to condone the Ellen fiasco: one of my fave quotes is "the sheep are like the shepherd". So of course they are going to be as diva-ish and demanding as their queen bee lol.
With the latest hoo haw I will greatly enjoy SueMe's past vids. It all gets too overwhelming. Like politics, which I think it is a by product of. Sigh...
We are back to finding ways to trash the BRF which says to me she is royally cut off, and avenues they expect to be opened have closed and we (the royal montecito we) are not winning. Maybe we are back to the money running out or netflix and spotify wanting some real product and there is not enough to justify whatever the advances were. When she stirs the pot, its a sure sign that things are not going well behind the scenes.
Perhaps Archie's first draft of the Christmas card was bad and now she's forced to do it all herself!
Interesting take on the "Anderson revelation" from Celt who sees Harry as behind it, not *

It’s nice to think that Handbag Isn’t too far gone To defend his father, but I think this attack on Charles has his blessing, if that isn’t too active a role to assign to him. Equally likely that he just DAF whether Charles looks bad or not. I think Harry is lost to his drug addiction and alcoholism and TW makes sure he has plenty of supply, whatever he needs to keep him addled and compliant. Not sure H Even knows what day of the week it is at this point. Sensible people are saying, but wait a minute—If their hope is to get invited to royal events and have monetary support in the future, isn’t it incredibly stupid to globally Smear the future King You always seem to have a soft spot for *? And continue to bait William who never had thought well of *? These ceaseless attacks from the Suxxits Just prove to me how utterly out in Siberia those two are. They’re only means of support now is selling these tawdry “revelations” on TV and in print. H May find himself shocked to be unincludrd In any further royal events, happy or sad, including but not limited to: her Majesty‘s platinum Jubilee, the eventual inevitable falling of London bridge; the coronation of his father and brother, any other royal weddings, etc. His last appearance in London was to honor an obligation the brothers made to their mother years before the thing arrived on the scene. That’s why they’re lobbying all of these fresh threats about Harry’s memoirs and a second interview with Oprah. They’ve been disinherited completely. Sadly, unlike the situation in a 1936, the royal traitor and his American slag Cannot be shipped off to and insignificant portion of the empire where they are rather hard to get a hold of. Unfortunately for us. Even more unfortunate for Harry’s family.
Totally agree with your comments.
@Miggy
Thanks for the SueMe link. I have not seen her before and her commentary is interesting!
I posted either her 1st or 2nd video on the Harkles (and another a few weeks back) but nobody commented, so I thought it was time to give her another plug!
I agree that Charles would be gutted by accusations of racism. I remember he was quite taken by the Three Degrees, particularly Sheila Ferguson with whom he was linked. But I suppose TBW isn't even aware of it.

Meghan's lawyer denies the Duchess of Sussex ever bullied staff in bombshell BBC documentary - saying she didn't 'repeatedly and deliberately hurt someone' but adds she 'wouldn't want to negate anyone's personal experiences'
Did you watch the programme tonight?
I came away spitting feathers!😒
Sorry, I didn't because I couldn't face it and need a decent night's sleep. I'll give it a go on Catch-up tomorrow but I daresay the papers will be full of it.
So, she used the BBC platform to get her lawyer to use legal speak to deny the bullying claims (get caught up in the semantics of definition and then deny that the behaviour was intentional ...). Yes, the person may have felt bullied and that may have caused distress, but it was not intentional so I am innocent.
IMO, as long as she clings to denial and defence, although perhaps it is an improvement on the original 'attack the person's character and work performance' defence, she will not do the honest self reflection required for self improvement. A classic example of denial when confronted with one's shadow?
Unfortunately for her, if there were a number of people who 'felt' bullied, her claims of innocence are somewhat weakened. Heck, supposedly even the Queen had a word with her about it, even though she did not use the term bullying.

'I think the first thing is, is to be really clear about what bullying is.
'What bullying actually means is improperly using power, repeatedly and deliberately to hurt someone physically or emotionally

In my experience, narcs are incapable of they type of honest self reflection which results in self improvement. They do not possess the self-awareness necessary concerning their words and actions and their effects on others. So how can they do the honest self reflection required for self improvement? I would say it is impossible.
Not only in their mind do they do not do anything wrong, but they are also incapable of admitting they have done anything wrong and apologizing.
Brilliant as always.
Thanks! "Fanfiction" normally has fictional sources to begin with, such as the hugely popular Harry Potter FF. It was only later on that fan fantasies about celebrities were put under that umbrella, too.
And I agree with you that anything that is "based on a true story" but that puts a particular spin on it (as The Crown does) is essentially fanfiction.
Biographies are non-fiction because they have authoritative sources. But if, as you point out, the Harkles are Andersen's real source, well, that just means the fantasy begins with them. They wouldn't have been there during the alleged private conversation between Prince Charles and Camilla, nor would they have heard the Queen's supposed order to have a photo of them removed from her desk. Perhaps two courtiers who were there (one at Clarence House and one at BP) confided in the Harkles -- but not only is it extremely unlikely that the unpopular Harkles would have such a spy among royal staff, it boggles all rational thought to suggest they could have had two, and in separate households.
A former US tabloid editor mentioned soon after the Harkle wedding, that the BRF used to be a really tight ship. You could whisper about them all you liked, but there were no leaks from within the households themselves. And then * showed up and suddenly there were leaks everywhere. We could, the editor said, draw our own conclusions.
The knife is extra twisty, because out of all the royal family, whom do we suppose would be the MOST gutted by an accusation of racism? Charles. The one who both publicly and in private seems to have gone out of his way to welcome his new mixed race daughter-in-law. Seeing as * knew so few actual black folks herself, the Prince of Wales was of inestimable help in arranging the diversity Wedding Show. Wasn’t he the one responsible for Bishop Curry and the gospel choir? He definitely invited the young black cellist who was the highlight of the proceedings for me.
I agree that this especially cruel of her.
Even if Prince Charles weren't hurt by it, he is certainly, based on his actions toward her, the least deserving of it.
While the one most deserving of it is * herself. Not only did she not seem to know many black people (until she got the chance to rub shoulders with black A-listers), but she didn't invite her black relatives to the wedding, listed her race as Caucasian when she started working, and has at least one high school classmate who remembers her letting them think she was Italian. If anyone was concerned about what the baby's "complexion" would turn out to be, it was *.
