It feels like things have been quiet.
Sure we hear of this bit of news that they are doing this. Or have done that (not always with pictures which then begs the question: did it really happen?). Or read that one of them is about to do something.
So many questions swirl around them.
Why are the exposures and interests appear to be more scattershot than a few general areas to be grouped under? Consistently meaning the same groups or group types.
Why does the clothing still not seem to match the season they are in? Are they still able to find people willing to offer stuff or are they running out of designers? Or are they just not checking the weather?
What is happening with Spotify?
Or Netflix?
Or what do you think will happen as The Crown edges closer to current events?
Where are all the power hires who were to lead or guide them in some of the proposed projects?
What if they left the Montecito house? Where in California be a better or more visible place for their interests? Or would New York beckon? The City is always a flashy albeit expensive draw but many power people live in Westchester, Katonah (HRC), Greenwich, Westport (Martha although is now more in Bedford I think but could be wrong) and commute. Sometimes there is even a pied-a-terre in the City. Old money. Company head movers and shakers. Brokerage money. Serious money.
What about politics? Is that realistic meaning there could be some support for it to start? If politics was in the future, wouldn't that bring additional security risks? Would that be safe for any of them?
Which brings the kids to mind. Will there be any more kid sightings any time soon? Valentine crayon glued on candy heart? Easter looking for hidden eggs?
Or expand the past influencer blogger life? Where might that go now? The field is way more crowded than it used to be five years ago. New people are always flocking in daily. Will there be enough interest to sustain past the initial flurry because it is revived?
It feels like things have been quiet. Is it because energy is running down? Or the money stream? Or is it a conservation of energy because they are about to announce big things - something/bring things on line/meet all their contract obligations?
What are your thoughts?

Which means there is less of it (perhaps) for Duo and alleged kids?
I don’t believe Hannah Furness implied that Jack Brooksbank, * and their respective kids were atthe Super Bowl. I inferred that they were elsewhere—a local hotel? Eugenie and Jack are in Los Angeles for the Frieze Art Fair (because of E’s association with the Hauser+Wirth Gallery in London).
Hannah Furness would have us believe that while Euge and Harry were in the VIP section of the Super Bowl rubbing elbows with various slebs and other well-connected multimillionaires, that Jack stayed behind with Maggot and 'her kids' while his wife was papped with her notorious cousin? Gee, it might have made for a nice photo op for H to be seen sitting with Jack, eh? Just a couple of guys enjoying the game, just two young dads hanging out together . . Meanwhile, Euge and Stench, being such great pals from way back and both moms of babies surely must have a lot to talk about, no?
(This is me playing along with the fiction that * might have had an opportunity to attend the Super Bowl with the home team playing, in a celebrity studded event and said, 'Nah . .I'd rather hang out with Jack in an obscure hotel room under assumed names. We'll watch Spongebob Squarepants and order room service--it'll be fun!)
Given *'s avaricious and boundary-lacking behavior around other women's husbands, I somehow doubt that Euge would really be OK with swanning off to the football game and leaving her husband behind with * and 2 possibly phantom children. In a hotel. There was no mention of August in this little family reunion. Presumably he was left in his familiar surroundings with his loving nanny back in Windsor.
The Royal cousins want to have a chin-wag of course but surely *that* venue was not the only place they could be alone to talk in . . hardly the *best* one.
Re toilet, I personally find it preferable to the euphemism 'bathroom' used by Americans (with apologies to American Nutties). In the UK it's considered better to use lav or lavatory, which I think has a different meaning in American English).
'Toilet
This was on the original 1950s list and, to be honest, I’d rather chew glass than use the word toilet in polite conversation. It’s a harsh word that was adapted from the French toilette which means your appearance, hence toiletries bag. Lavatory or loo is much more acceptable. (From a BBC radio programme).
• Meghan Markle 'may never come back to the UK as doesn't care what Brits think'
• Royal biographer Tom Bower says she 'has backing to becoming a US politician'
•Added she sees the UK as a 'lost cause' and is unlikely to return for Jubilee celebrations or ever
So the UK is a 'lost cause' - thank you 🙄. Translation: the British failed to appreciate her charm, beauty and brains 🙄. I think * is a lost cause and that all UK Nutties will breathe a sigh of relief at the thought of * not visiting our shores. Are we supposed to be heartbroken at the thought that she may never return to the UK? I'm sure she cares what people think, whatever she says, although she might care more about Americans' opinions.
As for having 'backing to becoming a US politician', I think we can take that statement with a large pinch of salt 😂😂😂

“he has got lots to say”. who talks like that? high school intern. certainly sounds like american english not british english high school intern?
i keep seeing pics today of harry with the la rams hat on and with the owner of the rams. does he not know the rams owner gave a ton of $ to Trump. what will his new woke friends say
I’m hoping it’s not an empty threat by Maggot vowing never to cross the pond to ole Blighty again….we know she never keeps to her word! Let’s hope Tom is right and we are a lost cause 😜 Does anyone know when his book is due for release?
Lavatory is both old fashioned and used by the upper classes. Going to the Ladies (said by women of course! 😂) is another popular one. 😃
Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention but what stood out for me during that trip were things like how remarkably unsuitable her daytime wardrobe was for NYC in Sept. She must have been roasting. And as usual she was eager to use minority school children for props (and make them listen to her rotten book- ugh) And, of course, I was curious about what really happened at the UN.
I just can't imagine she could be elected to much of anything. And the more he talks, the less interesting I think Bower's book will be.
I wrote yesterday that I think it’s Mole’s words via SS. 🥴It sounds like what a teenager would say and not a very bright or mature one. Overall the article read like a PR piece.
TBW is well known for wearing out of season clothes, probably because she's merching.
I must admit I couldn't be bothered to read the DM article beyond what I copied & pasted... I'm not sure how the three day visit to NYC could be construed as a 'remarkable success'. I think it's all in her mind, as is the support from Democrats etc.
Most people were in agreement that around them, it was a generic term for bad behavior and that was used in all directions, not one.
I will release one or two more posts about this I held back on.
We will remain on full moderation for the time being. (as always, we will send out a post that it has been lifted to warn).
I'm American and I have never heard of the word 'thug' being used as a derogatory term for black people.
I know it only for the normal definition.
When I read the term "Thug Bowl" used by a Nutty here, I assumed it was a reference to how violent football is.
Football as a contact sport can certainly be a violent and dangerous game.
Football players of all races have been known to carry on-the-field violence into everyday life.
Forceful behavior is used to succeed in the game - it's not surprising that some might be aggressive outside the game as well.
In addition, some football players develop CTE - chronic traumatic encephalopathy caused by repeated head injuries. A symptom of this brain damage can be aggressive violent behavior.
The term "Thug Bowl" did not strike me as racist at all - it never even occurred to me. It just made me think of the violence within the sport.
“Lavatory” has the same meaning in the U.S., but it is falling out of use. Personally I have never heard anyone under 60 use it to refer to the toilet/restroom. It seems to have sprung up out of the masculine world of the military. Leastways I can’t recall hearing a female ever refer to it as lavatory. This might be a regional difference. Not at all common in my corner of the Midwest, though my dad (b. 1931, ex-military) said it sometimes. Growing up in the 1930s and ‘40s it was more common then.
Now shall we dissect the language of “the British are a lost cause”?
Seeing as she spent barely 2 years among her husband’s people, this is an incredibly arrogant statement. Since she never even shipped most of her clothes over to Blighty, she never had any intention of staying there. * Always frames her colossal failures as “things she decided weren’t working for her.” My bet is that this statement is in response to her being banned from entering the UK and thus no invitations to Jubilee events will be forthcoming. It goes against the grain for * not to be playing her Will she/Won’t she games until the last minute but maybe there is some dirt the Palace will keep swept under the carpet only if she stays away forever—Such as the truth about Aldi & Lidl. Notice there have been no more bleatings about a christening for Lidl.
Tom Bower says she 'has backing to becoming a US politician'
If Bower truly believes this he is out of his mind. It makes me wonder if his biography on * will be any good.
Oh I agree about M's clothing and probable merching. The most extreme example I can think of was that ridiculously tight, pastel print "garden party" summer dress she wore to the actors care home (with that weird square "baby bump") in December in the UK. But what stood out to me re: the NYC trip was her clothing wasn't THAT out of season, maybe just a few weeks to a month off. Not really off enough for typical merching (as I understand it anyway) But her clothing was so uniformly off-- it's like she decided "This is what I want NYC to be like when I'm there so screw the weather reports."
Another decision that the Queen is making based on feelings not as a Monarch. Unless of course, she is disturbed the trial could tarnish the glorious Platinum Jubilee for her.
I'm thinking she will let the Sussex continue their tirades and keep them in fold maybe even throw some money at them too to keep them happy and out of her hair (or her out of their book).
In other news, Casamigos Tequila sold for $1 billion in 2017. ButterUp has self-valued at $1.7 billion. Not believable in comparison to what is offered, and what the public is willing to pay. Jack Brooksbank is world-wide Brand Ambassador for Casamigos Tequila. Casamigos' biggest draw is that it is so smooth and refined it can be drunk all day and all night without causing a hangover or headache. Of course Diageo's provided the Super Bowl seats.

Prince Andrew ordered to pay 7 million dollars to Virginia G's charity. They have settled out of court.
Thank God for strong women who stand up for injustice and who refuse to allow their voices to be silenced!!
Not even a Prince of the Realm can get away with dodgy behavior...
On the other hand, ButterUp is privately held, and they can tell anyone anything they darn feel like saying.
There is no accountability for ButterUp's financial statements. It's all smoke and mirrors.
Diageo provided the Super Bowl seats for Princess Eugenie and Twit.
I have to agree with everyone who thinks that Harry and * are separated in some way. They're certainly not living in the same house, if he could have gone to a huge event like this (and met up with another Royal!) without * finding a way to announce it beforehand or trying to make it about herself. She could still try to say she was there somewhere, but there will be too many witnesses who don't follow an unwritten "never complain, never explain" rule for her to risk it. Gee, this must be so humiliating for her!
This slow response time from her is very unusual. I'm not complaining or anything, of course; just wondering what is up.
I can't think of a single time I've ever heard anyone here (USA) say "I'm going to the toilet". I follow a lot of British youtubers, and whenever they're vlogging at, say, an amusement park or something, they'll mention things like "the toilets are nice" or "I wish the toilets were not so far away from everything else" and it sounds so funny me! In a charming way, not a bad way.
I definitely say powder room or bathroom when in a residential situation and rest room or ladies' room in a commercial setting.
Thug as an alleged racial slur is a new thing. I think it came along with all the riots over the last few summers. People referred to the people who were looting, rioting and burning entire city blocks down as thugs, as well they should have, and everyone on the Left decided it was a racial slur.
"Far right" can be used as a euphemism for white supremacy and in sine circles is generally meant as a slur towards anyone to the right of Karl Marx. Definitely not accusing our Lavender Lady of that, merely saying people assign meaning to words that other people are not aware of.
Believe me, the kind of filth that actually are on the extreme end of either spectrum are not going to use a euphemism for the N word.
I just don't understand why Jack, who has a business interest in the Super Bowl, would stay back with * and all the kids, so Eug and Haz could have a comfy coze. Surely it would make more sense for Jack and * to have gone and let the cousins converse in private?! Nothing involving these two whackjobs makes a lick of sense to me.
I'm sorry my posting is all over the place; for the first time in months I was able to have someone in to watch my mom for a few days, and am trying to do too many things at once!
I'd say the victory is Andrew's. Having sex with a 17 year old is not near as bad in my opinion as luring other girls into what you yourself are now claiming to be a victim of.
Having said that, I hope he is made to stay out of public work. What an absolute crapfest he made of everything. He's always involved in unsavory things. No moral compass whatsoever.
Harry inherited the worst traits from more than just his parents.

I agree with him on the optics of settling. It makes Viriginia look less sympathetic.
The part that sticks with me the most is his citing the royal sources who say that Prince Charles forced Prince Andrew to settle instead of taking it to court, so that the Queen's Platinum Jubilee would not be overshadowed.
I think we now know why Princess Eugenie might have been angry enough to make a very public appearance early this week with Harry.
I wouldn’t be surprised, I thought they were obscure too, especially of Jack! It almost could’ve been any man ! 😳😂
I thought the most recent analysis by BLG was much fairer and more balanced than one other analysis he did of the Giuffre v Andrew case. Giuffre will be busy writing her book for yet another easy payout. 😔😕I’m glad there were a lot of comments on the BLG video that could see what Giuffre’s game is. 😖😩
As far as the settlement is concerned, it’s not clear whether Andrew has yet sold his Swiss Chalet, it’s said to worth £18 million, but he owes £14 million or so on a mortgage. If the Queen is footing the entire settlement/legal bill for now, I hope not one penny has or will come out of tax payers money. He may not be guilty of what he’s been accused of, but he’s guilty of utter stupidity and outright arrogance with morals in the swamp. 😖😔

It’s because it’s engineered to have old ladyTW having another baby.
My gracious, she's remarkably fecund! You are so much more generous than I. I was wondering if the fetid stench described as coming from Montecito meant that Harry had whacked her and her body was hidden on the premises.
If he had, would any of the people that dealt with her report that she was missing, or just breathe a sigh of relief that she was gone?
Gouffre in French means "abyss". LOL
Her name is Giuffre .
A Freudian slip perhaps?
Our party sailed from Newhaven to Dieppe, then by train to Paris. We were met at the mainline station by penfriends and their parents, father in my case. The greeting was far from warm, hardly a word was spoken as we set off on the Metro, followed by a lengthy walk through the 12th arrondissement. Arriving at their appartement, I was shown to my room and left there - no offer of refreshment nor tour of the `geography'. By this time I was desperate, so asked for the `salle de bain' - and that was was I got - bath, washbasin and what I took to be a bidet. No loo.
I was sorely tempted to use the bidet to make myself comfortable but instead had another go at asking for the necessary - apparently the term I should have used was `doubleV.C' ie WC said with a French accent. A serious omission from my education. A couple of days later I had the same problem on the train to Brittany, a 4hr journey - no door said `WC' and `lavabo' was just a washbasin...
I daresay we all have stories like that. We were once locked in for the night in a Romanian mountain hut (supposedly to keep the bears out). The windows were barred, the privy was outside & the warden couldn't see there was a problem.
Moral of this tale - check the necessary vocabulary before leaving home - and take a suitable plastic bottle!
BTW - in the UK we also have `public conveniences'.
V Gouffre may well have won but I don't think she should be crowing about it. What about all the other men? So many questions, the case is still a grey area. She's not allowed to talk about until after the Platinum Jubilee so the silence will be welcome but this will give her time to write, or probably finish writing, a book about her experience. You have to keep the $$$ coming in.
She says that she's "punishing" the men that she took lots of money from in exchange for sex and that she's "sending a message". Seems to me the only message that she's sending is the only whore that doesn't talk is a dead one.
I'm sorry you experienced such a cold welcome in France. It's a dreadful experience at any age to be treated that way.
I won't name names (why, I don't know--probably not to start another war on here) but there's a certain major, I'd say top 3, sports brand that I will never never purchase since they sponsored a [US] football player who tortured dogs. THAT is a thug, along with the abusers of women.
But I don't follow football per se, so I only hear of these cases when they make big, non-sports pages news (as when these crimes are committed). WHICH (to try to make this post relevant) I can't follow for a second and I certainly don't see how * understood the game either. The rules are "out there" and the frequent stopped clocks don't help either.
Oh, and to me, a toilet is the unit made of porcelain. "Toilets" might be the general term if you're asking directions in a gas station. I don't see the various options in the US as so much of a class thing unless something really deliberately crass is said. They're just variations.
I am weighing in to both of these issues as a student of English (the language), not as one who cares to argue or one-up anyone. I'm an editor and these nuances are a daily fascination.
Those are harsh words, but very well chosen. I don't know if she sees the irony that she's still accepting money for sex.
@Raspberry Ruffle
Mr. Rosas sounded genuinely disappointed by Virginia's choice. He understood that the settlement wasn't not a victory for her at all. His main concern in the video was his viewers who might make a similar big mistake and ruin their reputations forever.
