This is a long awaited day - to celebrate the glorious Seventy years reign of Her Majesty.
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.

No money shots with the Queen. Only an alleged private visit that can't be merched. Then there was the obligatory birthday party, since the christening thing didn't line up, gosh darn!, only attended by minor royals. William would have loved to be there and send his best but he had to hustle on out of town with the wife and kids. Duty calls!
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced the Queen sat out Thanksgiving service and the derby to deny them the money shot they absolutely had to get. That was the only reason they showed up and she knew it and made sure they met no senior royals the entire time either so no footage there either. I know some of you think it would be wrong to sit out the Platinum events like this but this is what needed to happen to shut them down. They are social pariahs among the elite. You know Harry is FURIOUS and will be out for blood but the Queen doesn't capitulate to emotional terrorists and they are now pretty much toxic. Game, set, match: Queen. She played a blinder on her Platinum and I'm 1000% here for it!
My guess is if indeed the Sussexes departed on Saturday afternoon, there was no birthday party or a very brief birthday party.
-----
Exactly my thoughts. As for photos, maybe - if indeed there was a birthday party - maybe the gruesome twosome were barred from taking any, and no one else was interested. Just my opinion.

I do wonder if Harry has now realised the enormity of what he's done, from hooking up with Maleficent to marrying her and leaving his family and the UK. He stated that William and Charles were trapped and that he was trapped too (after being told by the strumpet), IIRC. Well, he's certainly trapped now, with nowhere to go, nothing to do. Is California the dream destination TBW told him it was? The UK is not much of an option, methinks. No wonder he looked glum, but then that's been his default setting ever since he's been with Maleficent.
discrimination/racism ?
I agree with you that Her Majesty won this and that she did not go to events to deny them the money shot. I did hear that she hurt her hip riding. But I also think some of her discomfort could be from dealing with the over the top hoopla circus surrounding the 6's. Brilliantly played Your Majesty!
God Save the Queen.

I'm joining other Nutties in thanking you for ensuring the smooth running of the blog. The past few days must have been busier than usual with the Jubilee.
The Jubilee parade was better that anything Macy's / NYC could produce. It is hard to top a flying Grogy/ "The Child", but the pomp and pagengtry was great. And Saturday night's drone Corgi can compete with Grogu any time.
INVISIBET!!!
I love it!
She'll be wildly jealous that Archie wasn't pictured on his grandfather's lap - the paternal one. The maternal one doesn't exist.
This would be a great thing to throw in her face. If she truly cared about her children having a relationship with a grandfather, why is she so focused on the grandfather from a family she has called racist?
Thomas Markle, in contrast, married a black woman and gave his biracial daughter as privileged an upbringing as he could. Why he isn't the grandfather she wants in her children's lives is a mystery.
(That last bit is sarcastic. Those who are familiar with the narcissist playbook know that he has been "discarded" for being no longer useful to her.)
One thing we know for sure is that she will punish Prince Charles for the sheer audacity of being photographed with Prince Louis on his lap, while denying her a single money shot.

Do you suppose Netflix are holding crisis meetings as we 'speak' to resolve this conundrum of Harry and MM and how they were hoodwinked by them?

The person that picked them up when they arrived arrived said there were NO children with them, No car seats, nothing. They had NO party yesterday for their fake child. The two of them flew out of farnborough airport on a VistaJet at 3.15pm yesterday and stopped in Minnesota to refuel before landing in Orange County California. Enough of the LIES

Megbeth and Hazmat have been weaponising their children as punishment against BRF and the British public as well as making sure the children have currency as a secret commodity to be sold to the highest bidder at some point.

Harry & Meghan were absent from all Jubilee celebrations, except the Thanksgiving Service at St. Paul's where they were placed across the aisle from senior royals and in the second row among minor royals, to boot. Oh, the indignity. The 'value' of the royal card they play so assiduosly in America has probably gone down a significant notch and won't cut as much ice anymore.

Their only currency is their royalty. While they continue to exploit every aspect of it for their own personal wealth, self promotion and celebrity status, whilst preaching compassionate communities and tick-box faux humanitarianism, there will be anger from the British public who are forced to witness this hypocrisy. Had they decided to step back from royal duties, bought a modest home somewhere, got real jobs, carried out genuinely charitable work in their free time, QUIETLY, they may have clawed back a little respect. in the UK. They didn't want royal duties, but "mistook" the word celebrity. for privacy. REMOVE THEIR TITLES.

Lamped, the Sussexes lie, in case you have missed that. The courts have not missed that, however. But this is all a moot point. PR is my field and yes, this is a PR press release by the Sussexes. The *source* is their PR team and Om!d. It's called media relations. About 60% of what you read in the news cycle is written as a press release by people like me. We pitch it to papers as *news* and try to find an angle to make it seem newsworthy, but the actual substance of the article is the narrative we are being paid by the client to sell. Look for tell-tale phrases like *exclusive* or *according to a report* (without saying which report), or *a source says.* Some journalists find this practice unethical, many others will print what we send them verbatim and slap their name on it. Some, receive a check to print it, and when it gets tricky the PR team gets more creative. Hope this helps.

I am not a monarchist but I have to say how well I feel the RF dealt with these two. Instead of not inviting them to the celebrations and running the risk of the duo then running to the press with "their truths" of being ignored, victimised etc, they were magnanimously welcomed in but firmly kept in their place, which is not at the top table but very much seated by the exit next to the toilets. Now they realise they are not welcome and more importantly, so does the world. The clout, importance and relevance have gone, a faded memory, and if by any chance they release Netflix content this will be derisory and very much ignored by the masses.

What a disastrous trip for the Markles, the only way they could get publicity on Thursday was by lurking around windows and putting down the window of their car. Friday was no better, sat away from senior royals, given dirty looks inside the church and booed on the way in and out. Saturday the whole family were busy with various engagements and just plain blanking them. You made your bed Henry Markle. Clearly you cannot be trusted and most of your family want to be nowhere near you.
I wish I could take credit for it, but alas, someone wittier and quicker on their feet made them one up.
Meanwhile the second photo here is curious if real and not photoshopped.

This Kraken was quiet, dignified and had the last word. Yet the inivisible wave it produced was noticed and commented on by all - everyone felt it, and hopefully the targets now understand just what they have accomplished with their leaving and antics after 2020.

Triumphantly, HMTQ was the star of the weekend, followed closely by the Duchess of Cambridge and her beautiful children. The down to earth and relatable persona that Kate projects will be reassuring to the citizens of the UK. The images of a warm, friendly extended family, with William, Zara and Peter are exactly what the family needs to convey right now. The overall message is: The Monarchy will be in good hands for the next 70 years.
BRAVO!
MAKING A QUICK MEGXIT Meghan Markle and Prince Harry jet back to America BEFORE Queen’s Platinum Jubilee ends
Matt Wilkinson
22:01, 5 Jun 2022Updated: 22:44, 5 Jun 2022
HARRY and Meghan jetted back out of the country an hour before the royals appeared for a final time at the Queen's Jubilee.
The Sussexes and their two children Archie, 3, and one-year-old Lilibet were already in the air when the Platinum Jubilee Pageant kicked off yesterday.
They are believed to have been driven from Frogmore Cottage at lunchtime and took off from the runway at Farnborough Airport at 1.30pm.
The California-based couple missed tens of thousands of Union Flag-waving revellers celebrating eccentric British quirks over the past seven decades such as Daleks, space hoppers and James Bond cars.
They also skipped the Queen's final appearance of the Jubilee. She made a surprise visit to Buckingham Palace to wave at huge crowds.
Harry and Meghan's 10,000-mile round trip from California is estimated to have cost £160,000 - yet it is not known who footed the bill. (SNIP)
https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/18788770/meghan-harry-back-america-queens-jubilee/
"They turned down the chance to have snacks and drinks with family members at The Guildhall and were instead driven back to Frogmore Cott"
Mmmm, yes, they "turned down" the chance.
but then - LAME:
"The Sun on Sunday revealed younger royals visited the Sussexes and their children Archie and Lilibet at Frogmore Cottage.
It is also believed a birthday bash was organised at the cottage with picnic-style snacks, cake, balloons and party games.
'STICK TO THE SCRIPT'
Zara and Mike Tindall's children - Mia, 8, Lena, 3, and one-year-old Lucas - are thought to have attended.
Other guests were Peter Phillips and ex-wife Autumn's daughters Savannah, 11, and 10-year-old Isla.
Archie's godfather Charlie Van Staubenzee and his brother Tom are also said to have attended"
I have to agree with everyone the Queen, her family and able staff played it well with keeping the Harkkes in check. It was a masterstroke, indeed she had them in 'check' on the chess board from the start. They never got a pawn to advance at all.
Maybe I am a bit mean-spirited but I hope these last few days have stabbed 'H' in the heart for what he and his strumpet has done. Maybe there will be justice afterall and I think we are beginning to see it played out now. I am hoping NetFlix moves soon to drop them as they surely look like losers and would be bad for the brand. Who realistically wants to waste their time looking at the 6's home docuseries. Afterall if the couple can't produce a single picture pf their children with their famous relatives will the public get to see them?
They are so irrelevant. Most people are going to think if the H's own family don't care for their presence why should we bother caring about them. They dug their hole and let them wallow in it.
One thing for sure, they won't be able to pay their mortgage on pitiful royalties on pinky ring endorsements. Lastly, if it looks like Amber Heard has lost her cachet and possible markability then the 6's definitely have after their Jubilee fiasco. Even Amber Heard didn't get booed leaving the courtroom.
The article says:
"Yesterday, the Sun on Sunday revealed the Sussexes were visited by younger royals, including Zara and Mike Tindall’s children, for a garden party to celebrate daughter Lilibet’s first birthday.
It is also believed a birthday bash was organised at the cottage with picnic-style snacks, cake, balloons and party games."
For one thing, how did these "younger royals" (Tindalls & Phillips) visit the Sussexes when their parents were at the Derby on Saturday? I realize those kids have nannies but the chances their parents were OK sending them into that with a nanny? Zero IMO. And it's not likely kids would want to go to a party for a one-year old they don't know anyway. And what sort of "party games" would appeal to guests the article says ranged in age from 1 to 11? None that I know of.
Finally, what is the difference between a "garden party to celebrate daughter Lilibet’s first birthday" and a "birthday bash?" The article makes it sound like there were two parties. Personally I doubt there was even one unless the paid crying makeup guy and the gushing hairdresser were the only guests.
I’m sorry if the Queen is in so much pain that attending her own service of honor for 70 years was too much to contemplate, because this will be the last of these kind of spectacles in her lifetime. I don’t enjoy the prospect that she felt well enough to attend her own event but declined just so the Montecito Mountebanks wouldn’t get photographs of her. She could’ve headed that off entirely by not inviting them to infect her celebrations. Either that or stipulated that they both would undergo a Stripsearch by the security services prior to leaving wherever they had been confined to. In the end, it was a wasted journey for the Harkles, who traveled across the continent and it ocean to basically get some snapshots in a window and attend one very uncomfortable church service. That’s it. Their active part in this Jubilee couldn’t have been more than two or three hours at the most, and it probably took them as long to get dressed as any of their participation did. There certainly was zero evidence of any familial healing or olive branches being extended— It was very satisfying to watch the Harkles walk of shame and hear the vigorous boost and jeers over the bells, But what’s going to happen now is that that same humiliation is going to be twisted around by their PR as proof that both Harry’s family and the entire UK are as racist and hateful as the couple claimed in their Oprah interview. No, they did not get the desired many shots of the Queen embracing them on the BP balcony and attending Lili’s christening/birthday party. Both of them are entirely delusional if they thought that was going to happen. I believe the last visit that Harry had with his grandmother was in April and it was acrimonious, even more so with Charles. There is no rapprochement. I will expect more television interviews forthcoming to whine about how they were treated, I really do. Additional nasty chapters might be added to the forthcoming memoir. Why not? The Sussexes have absolutely nothing to lose.
dormant. When all her sugars in the media world and all the Internet trolls are faced with incontrovertible evidence that everything she has ever said has been a complete lie, from what she used to do for “work“, to the fake pregnancies, continued fake stories about children that probably don’t exist, and every last fraud major and minor that she has perpetuated— When the pedestal of lies that sparkle Markle has puffed herself up upon is completely ripped down, then the Kraken will have done its work.
This is now a very dangerous time for Harry. His humiliation is complete, even if hers is not. He shouldn’t be left alone, especially not with her. This saga ain’t done. Queenie and Britain Inc. have won the round. She’s regrouping. Plenty more nastiness to come.
Netflix should forget any idea of working with the Harkles and sue for breach of contract. That will add some more schadenfreude to an already highly seasoned dish.
I hope the 6's got the message. You have cooked your goose by betraying your family. You are done!
Even Amber Heard didn't get booed leaving the courtroom.
So insightful, Cateyes. I thoroughly enjoyed your comment.

Exactly this. Perfectly stated (as usual), Hikari.

This last week the Royal family have already half neutralized any version of Harry's book that comes out. Their most important goal was to get over the huge hump of The Queen's 70th Jubilee. This was all successful, all by itself. Plus made H/M look small and irrelevant. Look how fast the Royals paid off the lawyers to get Andrew off the table, before the Jubilee.
Tom Bower's Meghan book will be out in a few months, which will expose Meghan for all that she is. Harry will be collateral damage in this book. This will also neutralize Harry's book, whenever (?) it comes out. The Duo still has dreams of connecting more with the Royal family, so will not be doing any wicked TV interviews. The Queen is no longer engaged in this intra-family squabbling. Why should she be. But William and Charles are forced to, now they distinctly have the whip hand as far as H/M go. I agree with those who say that the UK already has a de facto Regency of Charles, with William as his firm second in command.
I dreaded the jubilee, but now can say I’m breathing a sigh of relief. TheHarkles didn’t gain an inch and, hopefully, regressed a few. Remain Siri that artillery hasn’t been fired from Montecoto though, after all, they’ve been around for over a hour,,
I give a resounding clap to whomever managed the pr the last two days.,.haven’t read anything first hand, just whatever is brpugjtnover
Hikari you are right i think it is dangerous for harry to be alone with her after the humiliation. if she thinks she cannot get anymore from him she may try to bring him all the way down as we have speculated in the past for being part of her humiliation. she won’t take any responsibility for her part in that. she’s working on an exit plan and will likely be scorched earth as she does. or will she contact charles for a divorce settlement to stay quiet. i’m guessing harry will be the brunt of a lot.
curious if they left saturday we have no pics from polo. did he not attend?
I found an interesting little clip, concerning Madame 6's BIG COLLAR...and what she may have been hiding there. Please, go to this YT video, click on the "settings" thingy, and slow your view down to .25 speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uItTbx-GdQw Then, position your cursor at 2:00 minutes into the video, and play it. You will see a big grab and ADJUSTMENT, under the left side (ALWAYS THE LEFT SIDE) of the collar flap, and I think at such a slow speed, you can actually see her adjust the mic of RECORDING device!!!!
I may be wrong, please let me know if my imagination is running away with me.
We are in for some interesting relevations, I suspect. I've enjoyed ALL of your commentary here, even though I mostly lurk and don't ever comment very much. But this video was rather eye-opening. So I thought sharing and feedback from you all might be the best way to check any tendencies to go overboard. Thanks for watching, and your most valuable opinions. Cheers. And God Bless The Queen!!!!
Thank you!
I just realized what seems to be a collar under Mrs. 6's cream dress was that she wore to the Service of Thanksgiving...body armour. I watched and rewatched the video of her walking up the steps to the church and there is an incredible stiffness to the bodice while her skirt flexes easily. We all have seen how her clothes are ill-fitting, but this time the bodice is perfectly filled out, no sags, no undue looseness. Heaven's knows they may have wanted to waer body armour. And I can certaintly see why she would feel the need for such, after what's she's done to the Queen, BRF and the good British public.
I would really like a reporter to ask Mike Tindall how his children supposedly enjoyed the party.
The Duo still has dreams of connecting more with the Royal family,
------
Dreams? Delusions, I'd say. If they haven't got the message by now that they're not wanted by the BRF and are totally irrelevant, then they never will. A period of introspection would be welcome (but too late).
We do not have even a de facto Regency; the criteria for a Regency, de facto or not, do not apply to the situation as it is at the moment. Her Majesty is still compos mentis and legally competent. She is still `in the saddle, with a firm grasp on the reins'. For all that we disagreed with the Harkles being allowed back, we were wrong. The best possible decision was made.
If she wished to `dismount', that would be permitted. She is not a child nor is she suffering from mental impairment, so nobody, by which I mean parliament, can legally institute a Regency. Poor George III's mind was affected by a physical disease which rendered him `incompetent', that is deemed incapable of making a legal decision. There's not a whiff of that here.
In 1951, when I and Mum were in the Mall for Trooping the Colour and I saw Princess Elizabeth, as she then was, for the first time, King George VI was known to be gravely ill physically. Pr.Elizabeth took the salute in his place, just as Charles did this time. Both were straightforward case of the heir acting as deputy.
HM did look frail in her first balcony appearance (I don't think her sunglasses did her any favours) but yesterday's one more than made up for it. The change in the other Royals too was palpable - that Flight from Farnborough seems to have worked wonders for everyone's demeanour..
I get the impression that Her Majesty's wits are as sharp as ever. I also suspect that it's the anti-monarchists that are shouting loudest in the matter - they want Charles to take over and make a pig's ear of it.
The nutty staff worked overtime too. Thank you. The site us more pleasant now that the trolls are banished.
How hard would it have been for twit and/or twat to do an impromptu padcast from the event. Not a word salad lecture, just " we have returned from the church service at beautiful, bla bla, the music, bla bla, streets were lined with people waving flags , etc. So proud of my grandmother the querns historic reign. God save the queen.
They over think everything.
Harry is in a tight spot. They found freedom but not success. If they continue on their current path, it is downhill from here.
Harry might be happier with a bachelor pad, his polo buddies and every other weekend with the brats/dolls. A legal separation and a temporary restraining order would do wonders for his " mental health".
Won't happen, but if he asked me for my advice....
This is now a very dangerous time for Harry. His humiliation is complete, even if hers is not.
She may also have been shocked and humiliated by being seated in the second row, but it's Harry who would have grasped the full meaning of it. He may have rejected that world, but it's still the one he knows best. Until last week, he might have been pleasantly deluded about his current place in it.
In comparison to him, * has come away with gains rather than losses. She may still be a C-list actress and have worse prospects than she did before the royal wedding, but she has real notoriety now, plus a sob story that many still believe and "children" who still attract interest. I'm not sure what the equivalent humiliation would be for her. Hollywood has been snubbing the Dollars very quietly. There have been no Kraken here. It is death by very slow asphyxiation, and she gets to tell herself the whole time that it's not really happening.
Prince William and Prince Harry: brothers at arm’s length
They sat miles apart at St Paul’s and then the Sussexes returned home. Will the princes ever call a truce on their feud, asks Hilary Rose
In the end, after all the sound and fury of the past two years, the return of the royal drama queens was notable for its lack of drama. Some at the Palace feared that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would use the Queen’s jubilee as a brand-building exercise, with “friends” giving breathless updates to People magazine and Netflix camera crews falling over the corgis.
True, it would have made marvellous telly if William had thumped Harry for being beastly on Oprah, or if baby Lilibet had been wheeled round Windsor wearing a Disney princess outfit and a coronet, but still. The weekend was all about the Queen, and for once the Sussexes appeared to have got the memo.
Meghan pasted on her Mona Lisa game face and Harry wisely refrained from talking, because it never ends well when he talks, especially for his closest family. Remember that recent chat on American TV during the Invictus Games? The one when he said he’d just visited the Queen, for the first time in God knows how long, to make sure she was “protected” and had the “right people around her”? That must have gone down a storm with all the people who are actually around her all the time: the Prince of Wales, say, or Prince William. However, this weekend the message projected loud and clear was that the royal ship, with the Queen at the helm, is sailing serenely on. Megxit? What Megxit?
On Thursday, June 2, they arrived quietly on a private jet at Farnborough airport in Hampshire. They were picked up by royal protection officers and driven to Frogmore Cottage, where hopefully someone will have made up the beds, put the heating on and stocked up on spaghetti hoops for the kids’ tea. From there they were driven the short distance to Windsor Castle to introduce Lilibet, who turned one on June 4, to the Queen, whose feelings about their public appropriation of her private pet name we will never know unless she too goes on Oprah. Cue Omid Scobie, the Sussexes’ cheerleader, who absolutely definitely didn’t have a hotline to Team Sussex for his book until it turned out that actually, oops, he did.
Anyway, he duly popped up last week to inform a grateful nation that the Sussexes wanted to keep a low profile on their trip, but that introducing Lilibet to the Queen was one of their goals. “Those moments with Lilibet are very much private between them and the Queen, and of course we know how much she’s been looking forward to it,” he added, nicely highlighting the discretion for which the Sussexes are famous while casually breaching the Queen’s confidence.
Having flown 5,000 miles around the world to help the Queen to celebrate, they appear to have attended only two events. The first, on June 2, was Trooping the Colour. They watched it largely out of sight in a room overlooking Horse Guards Parade.
The second appearance was on June 3, at the service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral, where they were cheered by some members of the crowd, booed by others and seated in Siberia. The last time they attended a church service with the royal family — the infamously glacial Commonwealth service at Westminster Abbey in March 2020, just before Megxit — they proceeded up the aisle with Prince Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
On the downside, from a brand-building point of view, they weren’t invited to a lunch at Buckingham Palace after Trooping the Colour. On the plus side, they were invited to a lunch at Guildhall after the service at St Paul’s, but didn’t go. Were they worried that only Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and Zara and Mike Tindall would speak to them?
The Queen has always stressed that Harry and Meghan remain “much loved members of the family”, but it’s a description that appears not to resonate with some of them, including Prince William. While the Sussexes are reported to have had a private meeting with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall at Clarence House, no such encounter is thought to have taken place with the Cambridges. They swept straight past them, without so much as a glance, and were long gone by the time Harry got up from his pew. It was thought possible that the Sussexes would attend the Platinum Party at the Palace on Saturday, but they didn’t. Did Prince William, said to still be furious about the Oprah interview, veto it?
Protocol dictated that Harry could be kept safely out of thumping distance at St Paul’s. No such protocol would have protected him at the Palace concert, where the royals were all seated together behind the Cambridges. Word was put out that the Sussexes were celebrating Lilibet’s birthday privately at Frogmore, but unless a one-year-old’s party turned into an all-night rave, they could plausibly have hitched a ride up the M4 to sing Sweet Caroline, if anyone had wanted them to. They were missing also from the royal box at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant yesterday.
Scobie told the BBC that the brothers’ relationship was not back on track. One school of thought says that since it has been two years, they should get over it. The other argues that you can’t blame Prince William for worrying that any private conversation he has with Harry will end up on Oprah. When or if we will see the Sussexes back in the UK, let alone whether we’ll see William and Harry joshing as they used to, only time will tell.
Harry’s book is due out in the autumn, so it’s entirely possible that he’ll pop over then, flog a few copies and ruin the royal Christmas. Will they still be much loved members of the family when Charles is in charge? This trip seemed to carry the faintest whiff of Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson, of a slide into irrelevance.
As they pack up the travel cot at Frogmore and head back to their life of moneyed leisure in California, they might congratulate themselves that they didn’t have to spend a damp, cold Sunday at a jubilee street party in Newport Pagnell. The Queen has spent her life doing just that, and she still radiates enthusiasm and has a twinkle in her eye. Harry and Meghan? Not so much. That may be something for them to think about next time the Netflix director shouts: “Action!”
Even Amber Heard didn't get booed leaving the courtroom.
Like @Hikari, I found your observation striking, especially since Amber is currently the greater lightning rod for mob anger.
My own stance on that spectacle of a trial is that both Johnny and Amber are garbage people. Like attracts like, after all. Johnny is just, for some reason, a lot more popular.
I also think that public reaction to Amber, for all her sins, has been blown out of proportion. She is no longer an individual who may also be a malignant narcissist and abuser, but a meme whose humanity it's easy to forget. A few weeks ago, someone tweeted that men are starting to call their girlfriends or wives "Amber" as a way to control them or to shut them up, regardless of how reasonable the women may actually be. There was already one AITA post in which a boyfriend, who didn't want his girlfriend leaving feminine hygiene products (unused and still wrapped/boxed) in his apartment; and when she said it was just like having toilet paper around, he said that he was worried she would turn out to be "the next b**** who s**** in a bed."
In contrast, the booing that * attracted comes across as wholesome and even classy! People showed her what they thought of her without name calling or violence. (The jewelry brand that partnered with her had to deal with a lot more inconvenience than she did. And as far as I can tell, it was just angry comments on social media. Nothing concrete, like vandalism.) And although we Nutties have our pet nicknames for her, we don't use her as a whip on the people in our lives. This is why I think that the disdain heaped upon her is appropriate and balanced.
Amber would have been lucky to get booed. The public would have got its contempt out of its system and forgotten her by the next news cycle. As things stand, however, "Amber hate" may flourish (ironically, thanks to abusers) for decades to come. It will take another "bunny boiler" in pop culture -- a reference many have already forgotten -- before she her name gets a break.
They fitted all four of them plus all their luggage in one vehicle. No bodyguards (just a driver), no nanny, no entourage of lackeys that followed them round before. (There is a photograph of a large parcel being taken off the plane.)
When they arrived, they bathed and changed the family, after a long flight, and then headed to Windsor Castle to see the Queen with very young children who had just endured a Trans Atlantic flight, and no one saw them.
I just can't go on because there is so much that is unbelievable.
He was sitting in the front and looked miserable. She was sitting in the middle in the back. No children can be seen in the photographs, but she could have had one either side of her.
Who was watching the children when they attended those two events? Who paid for all of this? The Queen, just as she provided them with taxpayer funded security?

I think he realizes that the doors are closed behind him, effectively. His life is now in America with her, the children, Doria and Nachos,plus whatever staff they can afford. Will they do something really stupid in hurt (him) and anger (her)? How bad are his memoirs going to be?

Lacy C said there was a soft Regency going on and it’s been going on for some time. The Queen is still very much in charge and in the drivers seat, but here’s a slow transition and Charles has been taken on working through the daily red boxes.
In her video she went into a lot of detail regarding it, we’re no-bodies in the grand scheme of things, she’s connected and knows the people that know, so I’m rather inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt and credibility of her source of knowledge. 🤗
My guess, FWIW, is that Charles and William were in agreement, possibly as result of consulting those professionals who are familiar with how to deal with malignant narcissists, as to how to deal with the Harkles and how to be seen dealing with them.
The Queen would have made the final decision as to whether such a plan should be put into practice - she could approve or veto. She still has that executive power.
A more or less unified family front was called for - what we saw was a near-perfect example of 1st rank Royals going strictly No Contact, with the 2nd rank going Grey Rock as far as possible.
Here is another one ... I disagree that they could have overshadowed the Queen in any way, and I would bet my life on it that they (including Archie) were invited to join the family at the Jubilee Parade.

The Daily Beast
Royal Source Accuses Harry and Meghan of ‘Overshadowing’ Queen’s Jubilee With Abrupt Exit
Tom Sykes
Mon, June 6, 2022, 10:34 AM
There was widespread astonishment in royal circles Monday after it was confirmed that Meghan and Harry left Britain by private jet before the platinum jubilee celebrations were finished, delivering a snub to the queen and organizers of the event.
A friend of the royals expressed the irritation felt by many at what was perceived by some to be a churlish and attention-grabbing departure, telling The Daily Beast on Monday: “So much for not overshadowing the queen. Would it have killed them to wait a few hours?”
As The Daily Beast reported Sunday, the couple boarded a private jet an hour before the big jubilee pageant in central London began, landing back in Los Angeles at 6 p.m. local time Sunday.
A source told The Sun: “They just left.”
While there had been suspicions that the couple perhaps didn’t have the best experience of the jubilee, spending much of the celebrations hidden away behind closed doors, and not invited to many of the weekend’s most significant events, their decision to flee the country while the queen’s life was being celebrated by 6,000 military and civilian performers in central London looks distinctly churlish.
They were in the air, crossing the Atlantic, when the queen emerged on the Buckingham Palace balcony at 5 p.m. for her surprise balcony appearance with Prince Charles and Prince William, both of whom Harry has publicly criticized.
Given that many planes now have access to live TV and internet, there is no reason to think that the Sussexes were not able to watch proceedings on board just as well as they might have watched them at Frogmore Cottage.
And yet one somehow get the sense that, after a weekend in which it seemed they were being deliberately treated as unimportant and distracting appendages to royal life, it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if they chose to catch up on the last few episodes of Ozark instead.
Their very deliberate travel plans speak clearly about the tensions in the British royal family, and are likely to irritate the queen, who had let all family members know she expected them to maintain a united front for the duration of the weekend.
Indeed, Prince Charles raised eyebrows when he told attendees at a lunch party he attended that he hoped people wouldn’t go back to “bickering” with each other after the unifying experience of the jubilee.
Defenders of the Sussexes will say that as they were meticulously excluded from almost all events, except for the queen’s official birthday celebrations on Thursday and a church service on Friday, they were more than justified in making an exit on their own terms—even if it looks like a bad-tempered one.
And given that they have a reputation for not exactly being bashful when it comes to expressing their own irritation with the family, some might say it is hardly surprising that they left early with a metaphorical slam of the door, and the fault lies with the palace for not making more of a fuss of them.
They arrived back in California at 6 p.m. local time Sunday, looking suitably shattered, before getting into a SUV to be driven home.
yes I agree. I think she definitely has a mike.
@Rebecca,
thank you for posting the Times article.
I definitely saw something! It was white, the same color as her dress, to be as unobtrusive as possible.
If this goes viral and someone is able to adjust the resolution so that it's really obvious that she had something under that collar, she'll probably say it was an act of self-defense, so she could have "evidence" that she is on the receiving end of "racist" abuse from the BRF.
I can imagine them huffing off with their luggage, their unapproved cameras, and their hidden microphones, thinking triumphantly: "This will show them!"
No one was even paying attention. Their early departure will not merit even a footnote in historical accounts of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
And if they think the rest of the BRF were sorry to lose them or to be "upstaged" (HAHAHAHA), they absolutely read the room wrong. If anything, the BRF were relieved not to have to think about them for one more second.
The Jubilee looked like a fantastic success from this side of the Atlantic. No one does pomp & ceremony like the Brits, & I've always loved their sense of humor. I have to admit I felt a twinge of envy that we Americans don't have an equivalent unifying figure. The esteem that she is given shows how important it is for the RF to rise above the fray. I hope Charles & William take note, even environmentalism could be heading for choppy waters.
I have to admit I was worried about the Queen's health & the 6s doing something obnoxious to spoil a national celebration. Didn't happen. If they managed to keep their silly PR machine in check, shut their mouths, & stay neat & tidy, they might at some point redeem themselves. I somehow have my doubts about their ability to do that. The Queen has had a lot of experience in training horses & dogs, & the 6s are a bit too long in the tooth to be trainable. She most likely realizes that the 6s will always need a tight rein & firm hand.
A couple of thoughts -
I wonder if they had planned to stay on longer but decided to pack it in as they just did not appear to be making headway in any positive direction (perhaps goals for them: personal, contractual obligations or private ones we don't know about). It was so abrupt (wondering when the flight plan was scheduled?). Or maybe they were hoping for some sort of call asking them to stay on (which never came)?
The second balcony reminded me of the updated photo they did of the three heirs which is alleged to have set off Megxit. That never did make a lot of sense to me as they didn't have George's other siblings so why would "others" have felt they needed to be in it. It was only ever supposed to be the 3 heirs and replacing an outdated one.
There were so many moments of demonstrating the warm and close ties within the family. Lovely to see. Clearly their lives have gone on.
Thinking about the alleged birthday party and when it was supposed to happen in the whole schedule of other events.
a) Weren't the parents of all these kids all at other events when this was "happening"?
b)If so, why would they, knowing how the levels of trust aren't there, would the parents allow their kids unsupervised access? You know, if the adults are guarded and not talking, get the kids because they tend to be less filtered.
c) Babies at that age might have some parallel play with another baby but it isn't like they are playing build the castle with blocks together. Maybe grabbing a block the other has, hitting them with it after the grab or something but team building doesn't happen yet.
d) That is a very wide range of ages of young kids supposedly attending this party after all the other events going on that weekend. Usually at parties, even first ones where the baby isn't really participating, there can be games, food and pictures. We see/hear none of the specifics other than perhaps a toy or two (were those lugged about in the arrival photos?).
In any event, he went home angry, and stayed angry according to photos taken in California when they arrived.
Deranged doesn't fool anyone in the BRF; they knew she'd try something nefarious, and she did make an attempt, which got her nowhere.
Having personally dealt with seriously personality disordered individuals, I can make a certain assumption that Deranged will be on a several day screaming rant at Twit about what a failure he is, and about all the faults of his family. She will never let him forget, and will bring it up repeatedly, for as long as they are together.
Going from being a blowhard after the IG about his relationship with his GM, to be shuffled off to the other side of the church, packed in between lots of people, I'd say Twit's social/celebrity cred is gone, dried up.
-------
She was looking for a reason to flounce off. Said so ahead of time.
Guess she found one?
I completely agree here. His pride is a wounded animal and we will strike out again viciously. Plus. If he really did need the money shot and loses Netflix, it's pretty much total failure. I bet it never occurred to him that the Queen would sit out platinum events.
I see an ugly divorce on the horizon with Meghan casting herself as the poor long (by Hollywood's standards) suffering wife who tried to save Hapless Harry. She really really really did try to save him but his wretched racist family and well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree now with him, now does it? She'll make bank on her memoir, which you know will be as salacious as possible.
I think the handwriting is on the wall and Harry's gonna make sure it will be as painful as possible to his family. Bank on it. But so what. Was the Queen gonna capitulate to emotional terrorists? I think not.
Formerly, I'd see photos of the Dollars whether I wanted to or not -- which I took as evidence of both organic interest in them and their own PR reach. Today, I have yet to see those photos of them landing back in California. People are bored with them and they no longer have enough money to keep up appearances.
It may kill * to figure this out in the end, but if she had gone to the Jubilee Parade (for I agree with @Sandie that they had been invited), she would have had at least one more day of media attention. By rushing back home early, she just made herself obscure one day in advance. And killed her own narrative that they're all still one big happy family.
Other pictures were closer and more clear. They could have been photoshopped, I guess, but it really did appear that she was hiding something under her clothing.
also all the negative attention to baby boss louis. huge jealousy by susssex squad and also louis made charles look really good when he walked over and wanted to sit in his lap. helped charles popularity. they can’t have it if charles is being hardline about them. how dare louis highlight the fact we saw no children and we saw charles as a caring grandpa.
Sandie, Thank you for posting the article.
So, the flight took off exactly one hour before the big party started? I interpret this as *’s one (feeble) attempt to upstage the Queen. I’m sure * was confident the RF and the rest of Britain would learn the Sussex’s had left early and abruptly— and would be talking about the departure when they should have been focused on the Party.
* would have been livid about the seating arrangements at the Church service and took her first opportunity for a strategic exit. The RF had done a thorough job of inhibiting/minimizing the Sussex antics. The exit was her only opportunity to put everyone’s focus squarely back on her and H — at least in her mind.
i am now thinking her timing is after his book comes out. if he sings her praises and not the families and then she leaves and details horrors in the marriage that he never addressed she will further diminish his credibility and reputation as low as it is. and she can get herself far enough away from the amber heard trial that perhaps we will look differently at the she said he didn’t say divorce
Thank goodness the Royals got a chance to sit back and enjoy the show without them there.
PRINCE HARRY and Meghan Markle kept a low profile during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations as the couple reportedly looked after other royal children, missing out on the last days of the bank holiday events.

Charles Spencer shares poignant family photo following Prince William and Prince Harry's Jubilee reunion (Me:!!!!!!)
Gemma Strong
Mon, 6 June 2022, 8:34 am
"Charles Spencer has taken to Instagram to share a previously unseen family photo with his fans.
The 58-year-old – younger brother of the late Princess Diana – enjoyed the Platinum Jubilee along with the rest of the country and shared a handful of images to mark the occasion.
One, in particular, stood out. Taking to the social media site on Sunday, Charles shared an old black and white photo on his Stories and explained: "My grandfather 120 years ago, in the summer of 1902, as a page boy at Edward VII's coronation."
The Jubilee celebrations would have been all the more poignant for Charles given that it was a chance for his nephews, Prince William and Prince Harry, to reunite.
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle jetted to London with their children to take part in the celebrations before returning to their home in LA.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew out of London with Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, early on Sunday, and were pictured as they arrived via private jet to Santa Barbara, Montecito.
According to The Sun, the family-of-four were driven from their Frogmore Cottage residence to the airport and took off in the afternoon, amid the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
Not only did they miss the Pageant festivities, but they also were not part of the Queen's final surprise appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Harry and Meghan kept a relatively low-profile during the Jubilee celebrations
The monarch was joined by Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and their children for one final showing, expressing her gratitude for the celebrations.
Harry and Meghan kept a relatively low profile during their stay; they were spotted out on Thursday at Trooping the Colour, and again at the Service of Thanksgiving on Friday.
On Saturday the couple were absent from the festivities, including the Platinum Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace - however, it's likely they spent private time together in celebration of daughter Lilibet's first birthday.
The royal family all marked Lilibet's birthday on social media with public messages. Grandparents Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla wrote: "Wishing Lilibet a very happy 1st birthday today!" with a birthday cake emoji.
Uncle and aunt William and Kate also wrote a heartfelt message to their niece and penned: "Wishing a very happy birthday to Lilibet, turning one today!" alongside a balloon emoji."
The long game has paid off. The Queen spectacularly out manoeuvred Maggot and Mole. Careful planning and choreography ensured the pair were denied the photo ops they desperately needed, and any possible embellishment they could add to their narrative and spin. The whole family appeared to play their part. 😃
Agree with many Nutties, I thought the invite was the worse thing ever, they just couldn’t upstage The Queen or the royal family. However, my concern (ad always) is the despicable duo will try and spin something now they are back home. 😳😖🥺 I’m hopeful though, that their impact is becoming weaker and meaningless by the day. 🙂
I can almost trace her piddling thought process on this. She would have known in advance which events she and Harry were invited to -- and she had the chance to fabricate some story about leaving Archie and Lili behind in the US, for "security" or whatnot. Instead, she got her media mouthpieces to say that both children had come along, that the Queen had finally met her namesake, and that Lili had even had a "birthday bash" attended by her royal cousins. But this created the problem of explaining why Archie and Lili weren't at the Jubilee Pageant with all the other children? (Heck, even Wolfie Mapelli-Mozzi made it!)
She knew that it would look extremely odd, but she was willing to take the risk, because she was heavily betting on being able to record something . . . anything . . . that she could twist in her wizened claws. Maybe she had the perfect narc bombs ready to go, which one would have to be a saint not be triggered by. She even arrived as late as she dared to the Thanksgiving service, for a chance to walk in with Charles, Camilla and the Cambridges. Only for the BRF to prove they had wargamed everything to the hilt.
For where did they make her sit? In the second row, next to Lady Sarah Chatto and behind the Gloucesters. She recorded nothing worth hearing . . . except, of course, the boos . . . which meant the trip had been for nothing. It was a net loss. Not only did she end up looking strange, (supposedly) bringing Archie and Lili all that way, only to deny them the privilege of joining their cousins for the Jubilee Pageant, but she got nothing to show for it. Game, set, match BRF:
The royal family all marked Lilibet's birthday on social media with public messages. Grandparents Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla wrote: "Wishing Lilibet a very happy 1st birthday today!" with a birthday cake emoji.
Uncle and aunt William and Kate also wrote a heartfelt message to their niece and penned: "Wishing a very happy birthday to Lilibet, turning one today!" alongside a balloon emoji."
Now we have the Royals coming to their collective senses as artful dodgers, but in a good way! Praise and best wishes via emojis and the internet. While zero real world interaction with H/M, and zero adjacent photos or video. The Duplicitous Duo got hoodwinked by Charles, William, the smartest courtiers and the Grey Men. There is some overlap here.
Another artful dodger is Archbishop Welby. No christening for you! You Duo, that Lillibuck$ is just a baby prop for.
I was trying to be oblique but if this disastrous trip has made Harry completely devalued to both * and himself, his risk of suicide or OD’ing is high. If they have been counting on the passage of time to contribute to lapses of memory about what they did as Philip was dying…or in the aftermath of that concocting a birthday for Fake Baby #2 that dovetailed perfectly with the Queen’s Jubilee, a whole year in advance…then used the Queen’s most cherished family nickname without permission for Lilibucks..they were sorely mistaken.
If Harry’s been nurturing a fantasy of being restored to his position in a triumphant return, he’s had his fantasy completely crushed. His life isn’t worth much and he’s got decades of ignominy ahead. He may come to this conclusion and decide that he doesn’t want to live. His book isn’t going to improve his lot. He is a tragedy for the history books no matter what happens from now on.
Thanks.
Easterly, Chicago, United States, 4 minutes ago
Harry and Meghan should have realized they were going to be iced out of the family for the most part when their Jubilee invitation arrived months ago addressed to Occupant.
I was trying to be oblique but if this disastrous trip has made Harry completely devalued to both * and himself, his risk of suicide or OD’ing is high.
I think you're right. Do you suppose the BRF have wargamed this possibility, too, and have a mole in Montecito to prevent this? They may be completely disgusted by his behavior and unwilling to trust him like before . . . but that doesn't mean they want him to die.
Unlike the majority of families which go NC with some members, for the sake of peace of mind, the BRF has the resources to keep tabs on its prodigal son without also being entangled in his problems. They could easily delegate the taks of watching over him to someone who can do it dispassionately and professionally.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-10889737/DAN-WOOTTON-Glorious-Jubilee-shown-gulf-Sussexes-royals-larger-ever.html
“But with the Platinum Jubilee over, the future of the royal relationships now hinges on Harry’s seemingly delayed autobiography, which remains without a publication date despite being due for release this year.”
Harry has presumably been paid a hefty advance for the book. The book won’t sell unless it contains plenty of explosive revelations about members of the Royal Family. Being the hot-headed and irrational man that he is, I expect Harry is doubling down on his intent to inflict maximum damage on his father, stepmother and brother.
The article by Dan Wootton in the DM is interesting. I wonder which courtiers he spoke to, but I am pretty sure that he does have sources at the Palace.
He states that the duo do not value or respect the monarchy or his family, and think they are bigger and better. (My wording and interpretation.) So, by implication, they do not feel snubbed by those who they regard as beneath them. Dan claims that he has spoken to senior media executives in America, and the Spotify and Netflix contracts were signed on the understanding that they would provide insider royal content, and they are under pressure to deliver. IMO, that is why they are obsessing about the Queen - it is the Queen who gave them RPO escorts, it is the Queen who can give them access to Crown Estates, Crown jewels, and so on. Imagine being able to film inside BP and WC as they take a trip down memory lane behind the scenes for their report show!
@BarkJack_
We don't usually like to do this but this HAS to be a blind for now.
Therapy, therapy, therapy, and cancelled meetings after the weekend. Deep breaths. He is heartbroken but committed to difficult decisions, family and self care.

Talking of children, I saw this comment on the same article:
A very odd thing was noticed by social media sleuths recently. A pic was posted by Nacho's wife of the back of a kid, supposedly Archie, and maybe a nanny, could possibly be the lady in these pic here. The kid had very dark hair. The pic was removed, then put back up with the kid having red hair. I think they photoshop and/or have used different kids to play the part.
Have any Nutties noticed the same?
I took a 2 day moratorium on boycotting Lainey's bullsh*t website to see how The Markle Stan was gonna respond. Weak. There was a half clap back over "they were cheered" the other day but that was b4 the exit where the boos were undeniable and widely reported, elsewhere. No mention of the Gruesome Twosome's early departure, obviously meant to try to score some kind of petulant point over not getting their way, tisk tisk. They tried so hard to be the news only to get upstaged by a 4 year old! I mean that was gossip gold there in terms of speculation: why did they leave early???? Enquiring minds wanna know and she's in the gossip business. Silent as the grave. Speaks volumes.
So much for the Gruesome Twosome "taking over" the monarchy, Beyonce style. I hear she won't take her calls either LOL!
So, they did have the children with them.
No Archie in the pics.
Here is the link to Lilibet's photo.
They had to wait until they were back in the US...
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10890725/Lilibets-birthday-Harry-Meghans-daughter-pictured-Frogmore-Cottage.html
Still no photo of Archie.
So, the wooden and rope swing being offloaded from the plane was likely their wedding gift that they had left in the UK.
And the stroller they offloaded is blue. Would Lili need a stroller for much longer and what have they used for the first year of her life? Was this perhaps a gift for Archie that they left in the UK when they fled?
Seems like they were doing a final clear out.
Also sounds as if the Brooksbanks were the only family at the party. Seems they had fun anyway. I wonder if Scobie got an invite. I am sure the makeup artist and hairdresser did, and the photographer had his whole family there. Durand seems to be the one posting with photos, not Scobie.
Her mother has brown eyes and these are dominant over blue eyes. She is old enough that her eyes would have changed colour.
I feel bad for A&l to have the woman for their mother.
----------------------------
So now will start the wife's complete and unforgiving counter attack. She is going to use the children, especially Lili, the son seems forgotten to them, for ever penny's worth.
The only way out is H breaks out of his spell, distances his children and himself from her. Until then this is going to be an ugly war in which the wife will think no move too low. She's a psychopath.
I eat my words about thinking the invite was a mistake. I see it was necessary.
The Times article mentions a 20-minute wait from when the Harkles were seated for the Thanksgiving service to when the the Cambridges, Charkes and Camila arrived. Is 20-min wait the ususal? Many noted the tension etched on their faces. There's reports of Sussexes meeting Charles before church.
I do think, it wasn't all smooth-sailing behind closed doors. The duo did their best to make things go their way.
Harry had dead straight strawberry blonde hair until he hit his teens and then the texture and colour changed. Unusual but not impossible for Lili to have not a curl in sight.
She doesn't look like either parent to me, but maybe it is too early to tell. Eugenie's August looks just like Jack, his father, but did not as a baby.
If there is a real kid ... that is not a good future look.
I would ask the question again....why does ayone think the BRF would go along with a fraud?
Especially since the BRF came out in the last year or so they would 'Correct" any wrong information put forth by the Harkles.
I am certainly open to others opinions as you Nutties are GREAT at thinking of things I might not.
The photo of Lilli sure looks like she would be Harry's daughter. A cute little girl! But unfortunately she is being raised by two mean human beings that trashed their family and created a terrible situation for their two young children to be in effect somewhat estranged from their cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles etc... What a shame for the innocent tykes.
The little girl pictured is very cute, and age-appropriate for 12 months. Do I believe this is Lilibet?
Not for a second. Nor do I believe that a rollicking family birthday picnic was attended by the Phillips and Tindall children just mere hours after both sets of respective parents cut the Harkles ABSOLUTELY DEAD on the steps of St.Paul’s. Peter Phillips said not a word to either of the Harkles but was able to arrange his face in a pleasant expression as his sister Road heard on them and prevented them from coming down the stairs earlier. Mike Tindal, who I’m sure everyone recalls used to play rugby for England, was completely turned away from the toxic couple, pretending to be deep in conversation with David, Earl Snowdon, When he wasn’t peering off into the far distance pretending to look for an approaching car that would take the offendingrefuse away.
We are supposed to swallow that Mike would send his little girls, Who’d been ostentatiously shushed in the window at horse guards parade by the gurning gargoyle pretending to be their playful aunt— For a birthday party hosted by the gargoyle at “her” house— The very next day? If the Royals were concerned about being recorded and photographed without their permission at a public church service, nothing was going to stop Smeg From getting those pictures and maybe coaxing some commentary out of royal tots in the guise of a private birthday party.
Do not be fooled for one second by the witch’s self serving PR. Every time anyone entertains one of her crazy lies is the truth for even a nanosecond, this toxic fairy renews her strength. There was no birthday party and there were no kids. Period. It’s all lies. Why do you suppose this picture allegedly of Lilibet was not released until touchdown in America? Why not on her actual birthday, two days ago, when her parents were ostensibly throwing her a birthday party at their British home? I think we all know the answer to this.
Blue eyes are dominant over brown, not the other way round. Both my parents have brown eyes and I do not. Most red heads have blue eyes, it’s rare they have brown ones. Red heads run in both sides of my family and not one of us have brown eyes. 😐
"I highly doubt that Invisibet would have blue eyes at her age."
I am a biologist and a mother of three (each with different color eyes) and I can assure you that blue eyes would be apparent at the age of one.
In addition a brown eyed parent can carry a recesssive blue eye gene and hence produce a blue eyed child if their spose carries a blue eye gene (as certainly Harry does). Happens all the time.
The photos of Lilibet is all PR. Something very odd, they have to wait till they’re home before a single photo is released. Maybe BP made them wait, though I can’t see Maggot ever heeding a single request. Plus it could’ve been taken anywhere, and I don’t think there was a party, I don’t even think the children were in the UK. 😳😕
"Blue eyes are dominant over brown, not the other way round."
I am only writing not to argue but to present biological facts. Blue eyes are recessive and Not dominant over brown eyes. How you have blue eyes and your parents have brown eyes is typically that each of your parent had one brown eye gene and one blue eye gene then when they combined the two recessive blue eye genes combined and expressed themselves (genotype and phenotype) as your blue eyes.
If on the other hand one of your parent had two brown eye genes then you would of ended up brown eyed (phenotyope) but potentially with a blue eye recessive gene (genotype). This is basic Mendelian genetics but with other eye colors it can get more complicated due to the alleles.
I suspect the wrong kid came out red-headed and now they're still gonna keep pretending "Archie" has red hair too? They're the worst.
Background of photo - yeah it looks more like it could be in the UK than the LA house. However, with photoshop, anything can happen.
We are once again being played, or she’s making the attempt. This is called narc revenge. She is taunting the royal family because she knows they will not issue Any denial that this cute little red-haired girl is not Lilibet. How would they know? Nobody over there met her, and I’d wager my pension on it. That little girl is adorable though. Probably a baby catalog model. For being such a woke proud black woman who flaunted her black mother in front of the whole world, and called herself sister to pour South African mothers, Smeg Has entirely erased her own features and heritage By casting two Completely Caucasian WASP kids to play her kids. Because I guarantee that at least one of those babies would have Black hair If there were any genetics in common with Smeg. Her natural hair can barely fit through a doorway. Just ask yourself how plausible it is.
The gene for brown eyes is a dominant one and as CatEyes explained, whereas the gene for blue eyes is the recessive gene. If two parents have brown eyes, as in your case, they must carry the gene for blue eyes for you to have blue eyes. I think Thomas Markle has hazel/grey eyes (hard to tell) so in theory the Harkle children could have blue eyes.

Incidentally, the photo is no snapshot taken on a camera phone. Oh no! The photo was taken by a professional photographercalled Misan Harriman. Harriman "is a Nigerian-born British photographer, entrepreneur and social activist. As well as being one of the most widely-shared photographers of the Black Lives Matter movement, Harriman is the first black man to shoot a cover of British Vogue in the magazine's 104-year history. " (Wikipedia) Booked by the strumpet, obviously.
Here are some sources. Sure there are some weird exceptions whern it comes to brown dominance over blue eyes but in the majority of times simmple alleles determine the outcome when it comes to brown over blue with respect to dominance versus recessive.

It’s perfectly fine, I know red hair is due to a recessive gene, I just didn’t know about the blue eyes one. 😛My sister has dark brown eyes, but both sets of grandparents were a mixture of light blue and very dark brown. 🤗

If not a documentary, then a tastefully done reality series, of say five episodes on Netflix. I didn't think Harry had it in him to produce such red haired cuteness.
****About the scene of them arriving home at the California airport. This swing set came packaged. It was purposely exposed, unwrapped for the photographer. To show that this is the identical swing set the Cambridges have. The implication is that this is a gift from Prince Charles.
*** Yes, hardly any negative comments at DM about the Lili photo. Maybe zero.
Now, though, I thought I saw bit of Uncle Andrew in him, when the three were arriving at the first event in the carriage? Not saying he's not cute anymore, just . . . genetics are happening.
I'm partial to girls, too, but . . . not this one. Whoever she is.
Or that the passport will betray the surrogacy, or that her name is not Lillibet, like they claim. Didn't someone once say that there was a child's birth registered for that date in LA County but the name wasn't Lillibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, but some other first name but also Diana as a middle name?
Quite ordinary, in my opinion.
Lilibet is gorgeous. Too bad she's got 2 ogres for parents. I hope she will exceed her origin like the last of June doth the first of May.
Whatever is going on, my guess is the 6s didn't get a big payday for this photo.
However, exceptionally, the worst rated comments are the same ones that say that the baby is cute, etc. For example, there are 1000 comments in total, but the worst rated comment (Lilibet is the most beautiful child to have ever been born) has only 399 upvotes, but 2774 down votes. ie, 2000 more people reject that the baby is attractive
compare to the 1000 total comments published.
This tells me that any negative comments are not getting published.

After studying the baby’s picture some more, I have decided that she bears a striking resemblance to film director Ron Howard. From Invisibet to Opiebet! Like #6, little Ronniecwasxan adorable ginger moppet before losing his looks and his hair.
Why haven’t we ever seen an official portrait of her brother Archie?
The release of the image is undoubtedly meant to steal some of the thunder from the Cambridge children who charmed the world over the weekend.

...Therapy, therapy, therapy, and cancelled meetings after the weekend. Deep breaths. He is heartbroken but committed to difficult decisions, family and self care.
It just amazes me that Friar is so committed to Liar. But hopefully the picture Eugenie posted to Instagram when she returned from California is prophetic.

My thoughts exactly. Trotter looks much younger and thinner in the BW photo with the other mother. I find it hard to believe it is from Saturday's birthday bash as claimed.
IMO we are being played.
The black-and-white photo you mention is side-by-side in the daily mail with the new one ostensibly of Lilibet. Although this photo is not specifically mentioned, the article implies that the photographer, Who is Black, brought his family to Lilibet’s birthday party where he supposedly took this picture. Notice that the two little girls with The blonde woman and Markle are decidedly biracial, And I note that both of them have African hair that is very dark. The little girl in her mothers arms isn’t a whole lot older than Lili, But she has her face painted like the older girl does. In the photo Markle is holding a girl baby that looks like the color photo of Lili, but You are so correct – this photo of M has to be at least 10 years, 30 pounds, and several cosmetic procedures ago. She doesn’t look to be wearing any make up. Significantly younger, and she wants us to believe that this is how she looks dressed down just a day after her Beauxbatons charade at St. Paul’s. For all we know, this could’ve been taken in Markle’s college years. There is a vibe of “young babysitter” that she’s giving off.
The only conclusion we can draw is that the color photo of the little red haired girl, if it was taken on the same occasion, it’s also years old and was not taken at Frogmore Cottage just two days ago. Markle is a level of devious-sick rarely seen. Where did she dredge up this old picture of herself from, not to mention of the little girl? Reminiscent of the Christmas card with “FrankenArch Baby in 2019”. That photo to what is a slap together pasted affair with a blurry current picture of Harry looking gormless and what looked to be a college era photo of herself pasted in from some yearbook. It’s incredibly sad and incredibly twisted. Not the least because she is selling these photos to these newspapers and magazines and they are dutifully printing it and all her lies as though it’s unvarnished reality. It’s positively Kafkaesque.
...and the reason that she wasn't in the UK, is that the Disgusting Traitors don't have custody so cannot take her out of the country.
Or that the passport will betray the surrogacy, or that her name is not Lillibet, like they claim.
But the latter wouldn't remain a secret from HM and her govt. even if they kept the baby in the U.S. Passports have some protection from disclosure because they establish identity, but they're not classified. If the British govt. asked the U.S.G. for the child's name on the passport, Uncle Sam would just give it to them. Such a strategy would only limit knowledge of the baby's name from...I'm not sure. Maybe the general public?
I really think the baby's original name was Diana Mary Mountbatten-Windsor as all the blogs and SM reported at the time (based on a California look-up site which I haven't been able to re-find). The Harkles must have then had the birth certificate reissued with Lilibet Diana. Does anyone know exactly how it works in California?
@Hikari is correct in her observations.
Cute baby

She actually looks pretty here, seems to not be wearing a wig (as she has been since at least two years), is not puffed up in the face and she is lighter than the orange-brown spray on tan that she sported on Thursday and Friday.
She also seems to have a real smile.. another thing that we have not seen for a few years.
Was she photoshopped into the photo?
I can also see the tag on the right hip area of her pants.

For Lilibet’s first birthday, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan invited close friends and family for an "intimate backyard picnic" at Frogmore Cottage, Windsor on Saturday. Claire Ptak (who made the couple's 2018 wedding cake) baked a special order for the party."
A few close friends an family? You mean the photographer , his wife and kids?
And I see that they had to name drop Claire Ptak in order to score a free cake. THEY ARE SO CHEAP.
@Hikari
“Her natural hair can barely
fit through a doorway”
Hahaha 👏
I did catch snippets of TtC, and was mostly in stitches over Piers Morgan's constant snipes at the Grifters, especially Nutmeg. Saw the entrance at ST Paul's and at first glance that * looked good for a change, but didn't take long to notice the typically poor tailoring, the usual darkening of her face, the ever-present smirk and the street walker gait. Poontang Princess, indeed! Have seen pics of them seated in Siberia, and was staggered by Hazmat's inability to hide his fury.
The pic of Lilibuck$ solidifies my belief that the reason we don't see many pictures of the kids is that they are just not cute. They both seem to have Nutmeg's childhood mouth, (almost bucktoothed and pretty snaggle-toothed as well), as well as both parents' close-set eyes. Swing Archie was flat out homely, in my opinion, and I don't think this one will be any better. I do think there's a chance they will improve with age, though, if Harry will allow their teeth to be sorted out.
Lili is only a quarter black, and I frankly don't think even that much, since she seems to have taken more after Harry. Despite the fact that we get 50% of our genes from each parent, it isn't necessarily an even split in terms of how the genes for things like hair and eye color are divvied up. Her hair has ringlets at the back of her neck, but I wouldn't expect it to be overly curly since she clearly got Harry's coloring. Not that I'd put it past Nutmeg to straighten the child's hair, but Harry's hair was straight and silky as a tiny child, iirc, but has gotten much more textured as he's aged, which I've not ever seen in people I know. I think Lili does favor August and even Eugenie at that age. Her hair was red, or at least appeared so in pictures and video, but darkened considerably. I've never seen that happen either, so maybe it's a Windsor trait, to have changing hair!
I'd like to add my thanks for all abbyh's hard work keeping the blog running, and for all you ladies who post links and such insightful comments.
Looking at the black and white photo of Princess P and Camilla Holmstroem (the partner of the photographer), together with their children, I notice that PP is definitely 10-15 pounds lighter and 5 years younger - no back fat, no facial puffiness and MUCH thinner through the midsection. This is not a recent picture of her, unless it has been photoshopped. The baby that PP is holding looks more like Camilla Hoelstroem, than Meghan or Harry. She does not look like any Windsor or Spencer babies.
Red hair is only present in 1 to 2% of the global population and is recessive, therefore it requires the genetic marker from each parent. It very often skips generations, as it does in my family. I have strawberry blonde - light red hair, along with 3 of my siblings. Two of us have hazel eyes and two have blue eyes. Our parents had brown hair, but they each had the red hair gene. My paternal grandmother was a redhead and a maternal great-grandmother was a redhead. There were only 5 redheads out of 150 cousins who descended from these ancestors on both sides of my family. Therefore, I find it very unlikely, if not impossible that the 6s have two red haired children.
It has taken me hours to type this because my daughter called me howling with laughter about the red haired baby. Then my sister called me saying, “You have been right about Prince Harry’s wife. Something is really off with her! Where did their red haired baby come from?”
First, I disagree as a matter of principle that it is ever ok to say a child is not cute, or is plain, or is lacking in some way, when in fact you don't have to comment at all on their attractiveness or otherwise; it just doesn't add to the conversation, and is it is simply unfair to say those things about a child.
As to the photos, it was clearly taken years ago because Number 6's first wife is slim and young. It is also clear the little girl's hair has been photoshopped that deep red colour. Neither Harry nor any of the other red-haired Spencer relatives such as Charles Spence had that colour hair as a child. They started blonde, and matured into that colour in later years.
On even the best spin, the 'party' was another man, another woman, and their 2 children, was just a pathetic attempt to show they had something better to do than attend Jubilee events on that day.
I am of the view that 6 and his first wife had to produce a photo to satisfy netflix/whomever they currently have signed their lives away to, in order to keep a deal. They had no new content of any worth after the Jubilee weekend, and this is something they put together to keep the deal. Remember that the cost of a private jet, clothing, support staff, etc. would have been paid by netflix/deal masters. The last card they had to play was the Lillibet card, and they were forced to play that card to keep the deals.
In any event, their star is well past it's zenith, and is heading downwards at the rate of knots. They will never, ever, be able to live down the facts that ordinary people booed them in the streets, and that the Royal Family didn't trust them enough to even be seen talking to them, let alone being photographed with them.
Their career is over folks, it's all late night shopping channel merchandise after this.
The new Harry Markle is suggesting that Twit was also wired for sound, and that CH, BP, and another place, were informed of the wires after the events. If Twit and Twat ever show up again at BP, they will surely be scanned for electronics.
For Twit to want to secretly record his own family for his gain, and then be sullen and angry when relegated to an appropriate place during Jubilee events speaks about a seriously disturbed person.
Page Six gossip on-line is reporting that Prince William and family were invited to "Lilly's" birthday party, but turned down the invitation. So that's how they're going to play it, as victims of the RF once again.
Could the baby be slightly older than a year as it has more than the usual 2 to 4 teeth at one.

From your lips to God’s ears.
And, I am still curious about PP’s jumbo right thumb in that Christmas card photo. That thumb is lonnnggg.
Blue eyes are produced by 2 recessive genes, one from each parent. Brown-eyed parents can produce a blue-eyed child as if the child inherits the blue-eyed gene from both parents if each is heterozygous. On probability tho' the child is three times more likely to have brown eyes even in this situation (1 in 4 chance of blue; 1 in 4 chance of homozygous brown & 2 in 4 of heterozygous brown.
That is assuming too that the brown-eyed gene is the fully dominant type as eye colour inheritance controlled by other different genes, giving hazel, light brown or grey eyes depending on what other gene is present.
The wording of the tweets from Scobie and Carolyn Durand definitely imply that the photographer and his family were the only ones at the party. It was Jubilee weekend; his family were all booked up; her only family was on another continent; the child has no godparents as she has not been christened; friends in the UK are few and far between and probably had plans for this long-planned holiday weekend.
It's not like getting different colour tea from the amount of milk you put into it - there's no `blending', genes are discrete entities.
Skin colour is determined by a very large number of genes and it's pure chance how many of which a child gets. Two parents of mixed race can produce children of all shades in one brood.
Did you ever play with `Pop-it' beads in biology class? It's a great model for what can happen.
Following the embarrassments of saying that RF member X isn't in a relationship with Y, only to have to announce an engagement shorty after, Buckingham Palace has taken the line of `neither confirm nor deny'.
Being sure of something is one thing, having evidence that would stand up in court is another, without breaching medical confidentiality is another.

I agree - an old photo of TBW
Singalong 🎤
Apologies: Dinah Washington
What a Difference a Day Makes
Days of our lies
What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Left the son for li’l flower
No longer part of her rein
Yesterday she was orange, dear
Today pale and wan, clear
All part of her con-sphere
Not expecting the boos, jeer
total decline…
The Kraken was released! Wow!!
Theresa Longo Fan Page had it first.
I agree that she has a lot of teeth for a one year old, 4 top ones and 4 bottom ones, but I think that's in the normal range.
I agree also that she looks younger, slimmer and with a different nose in the black and white pic.. All this was PR and an attempt to shadow Louis' pics with the Queen and Prince Charles - amazing that the press reports all this falsehood as facts.
I have not commented for years but been a Nutty all along. Thanks for all your insights and the balanced moderation.
IMO they've delegated that job to Eugenie. She appears to have built trust with Twit, and remains in friendly contact with him.
She's definitely his last link to his family. I was thinking of someone much closer, though. Someone who'd actually be in a position to call an ambulance or to take a drink out of his hand.
Also, what appears to be an old photo of TBW holding a child.
What else can we say for absolute certain? I can't think of anything.
Does the room looks as if it's according to Meghan's taste? That radiator is it `retro' or genuinely pre-war? There's also a clumsy-looking radiator control to the right of the other woman.
The wall is divided up horizontally with `wainscot' and dado rail about 1m up. The wall above has rag-rolled or sponged paint above it - this was fashionable in UK in the 1980s, into early 1990s. Think Laura Ashley.
I don't recognise the framed print but it has a mount and a black frame - 1920s/1930s style.
Seriously, does anyone really think Meghan would tolerate such decor in Frogmore Cottage?
I suggest the details of the room also point to an old photo.
Re Blue Eyes, 😃
I got it, see my reply to CatsEyes @Jun 7, 2022, 1:49 AM. 🤗
I'm perfectly happy to believe that Ms. 6. has a cute little daughter. I don't know enough about red hair to comment, but will mention that I have a grand niece who is about 12% Chinese, and the rest is Anglo-Saxon, & Swedish, who has long blonde hair & isn't discernibly East Asian looking at all, although her older brother is.
However this photo raises a lot of questions. Was Ms.6 wearing a fat suit at St. Paul's, & what had she done to make her face so much fuller than it is in the B/W photo? Instantaneous diuretics? Why is the little girl wearing a heavy looking sweater indoors, & a sleeveless dress outdoors? Did the 6s really furnish Frogmore Cottage with the traditional looking rug & chairs shown? Why did the expensive redo leave that ancient looking radiator in the background? Why does the blurry looking edifice in background of the color photo look so oddly contemporary, or even Californian?
The photo seems to have been taken by the same photographer who took the ridiculous pregnancy announcement, with Ms.6's mountainous belly at 5 months. Iirc, that photo was taken 'remotely' with an IPad or something. PP may have two real children, but it looks like she's gotten some people who can use the publicity,(baker, hairdresser, makeup guy, photographer) to collaborate with her in cobbling together this very odd group of pics & allegations of a birthday party & visits with actual children.
If Lily & Archie were in the UK with the 6s, why didn't they go to the Jubilee Pageant will all of the other royal children, toddlers, & babies? It would have been a lovely family moment. Why did they hurriedly flounce out to California? It's not like they have 9-5 jobs to return to. The upshot is I'm still not entirely convinced that children are real, or that they were even in England. Everyone is right about changing the subject. It's wiped the disastrous visit off the pages of the Daily Mail.
Apologies! I just don't understand the brazen way Ms.6 trolls the public.
I like the shot on BLG where they are being shown to their seat in St.Paul's:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf_TyFV0_u4
Eugenie is preparing to stand and let them through. Harry's doing `What do you mean? Those seats in the front aren't ours?!'
Here is a photo of her engagement rings, before and after she had it upgraded. The upgraded one looks the same as in the b&w photo.
https://tinyurl.com/ek3uwjdc
She does look younger but possibly because she was hardly wearing any makeup. As for looking slimmer, maybe that's why she's standing sideways - doesn't look so wide - with the child against her. Added to that, the child's ears look identical on both photos. I think we're used to trickery and photoshopping so it's easy to be automatically suspicious of everything we see.
Look at the hem in the black and white one (tiny trim) but you don't see it in the color version. Well it's odd but if you look on the left, looks like the fold of the hem or the smoothness fading in the distance on the right - you might see some change in smoothness (ruffle) there if it were present.
The smocking on the top. That gathering is not visible in the black and white one. You would see something of it close to the neckline even though the body is sideways.
And there is a barrette not the bow.
Going back to the idea that this was a casual affair, why does the baby change clothes between photos? Oh it got messy. Well, maybe. Maybe. Maybe not. Surely there could be other photos taken but there are not.
What we don't see is photos of the parents, any other kid other than the two of the photographer or any other adult other than the wife. With all the people who were supposed to be there, there is no one in the background.
I don't think the photo of the photographer holding his daughter would be the one I would use to sell my skills. It is casual yeah but there are some things which I would not want to be showing off. You don't want to sell yourself by making someone look potentially embarrassed.
No evidence of a party other than you see the cake which is not personalized. No cards, no streamers or balloons. No party cups or plates. And, no other food.
have red hair when he was young?
Dr Shola coming for Louis is low and tacky and tells you what little they've got to work with to stir the racial pot and generate headlines. Expect to see more of these low brow attacks made by thirsty people we've never heard on behalf of the Suck-its. This is what their A game looks like. Pitiful.
Further, the upper part of the face is showing some movement, which we have not seen for a couple of years when she began to overdo the Botox.
And only last week, she was sporting quite prominent back fat. In my opinion, an old head shot has been spliced onto someone else's body.
Pity that the photographer forgot to photoshop out the obvious tag on the right side of her trousers.
The two photos of the Cambridge kids, especially with Prince William, now that's a photo. It tells a story. It draws you in. It makes you feel like you are there, part of the nearby onlookers.
Contrast the one of the baby sitting on the grass. No interaction with anyone or anything. It would have been a better photo if the girl had been doing something like smelling a flower, trying to hand it to someone. It would have had movement. Action. Something.
Going back to the photo of the photographer holding his daughter, it has movement. His face is antimated but study the daughter. She is looking at the camera but her face has the closed off look from the situation as a model on a runway. Contrast it to her face in the black and white one.
odd side note: why are the two little girls in face paint. It kind of looks like they did it. Fun. Why not have them do the baby?
(Markle allowed the hairdresser to release a statement earlier this week about how cute, brilliant etc was Lilibucks.)
Like the parents, the children will only have the friends that can be paid for.
Also, look again at the photo with the photographer's wife: the chil who is staning is obviously missing her right hand!
Obviously some (poor) photoshop going on here.
First I find it suspect they don't show a photo of Archie palying with 'Lilli' at her birthday party. Why is the little boy always hidden. It wuld have been marvelous if the little tyke would have been seen with the cousins at Trooping the Color window shot (he certainly wasn't too young considering the ages of the Tindall's children).
For all the points everyone offered I am not sure the little girl pictured on the lawn is the same one in the interior shot. The little girl sure looks very tall when you look at her being held by *. The average height for a girl is about 29-30 inches tall. She looks longer than this. And the nuber of teeth is approx 4 at one year, not 8.
There is no way the Tindall's and the Philip's brood were at the party in my estimation. The parents would have been quite protective I believe for having their children used as 'Photo Fodder' for the 6's Netflix schemes.
Mrs. 6 definitely does not look like her current fatter self and her remade nose. Everyone had such great observations, kudos!
She could be older based on her teeth and the difference in the amount of hair now and in the Christmas card. But IF MM really had a miscarriage in July 2020 as she claimed, even if she immediately got pregnant afterwards (unlikely at her age but not impossible) the baby couldn't have been born earlier than late May/early June 2021. So the Sussexes are kind of stuck. All kids are different but this kid looks lots older to me than the child in the Archie first birthday video looked.
Lots of things don't make sense to me in the two photos. In addition to the child wearing a sweater indoors, the photographer's wife also has on long sleeves. Seems odd a photo would be taken outside the same day with the baby in a light sleeveless dress. And honestly, I can't see Meghan's wedding ring in the B&W shot. Maybe it's there but if it is, it looks like she's wearing the wedding ring on the outside of the engagement ring. Most women wear the wedding ring inside (closer to the heart) and in other pictures Meghan has too. The engagement ring could be her revamped ring but I sure can't see the side diamond, only a "high" setting for a central stone. Could be my eyes though.
Re: how M could look so fat at the church service but slim in the B&W shot supposedly taken later, her body could look fat because the expensive church clothes didn't fit. She also had on a skirt and blouse under the Dior coat/coat dress. So lots of material. Some also claim she was wearing body armor. I seriously doubt that but maybe. And it's not just her body but her face. Even if instant liposuction exists (doubt it does) her face looks totally different. If it's just she looks older and fatter with the crying guy's makeup, you'd think she'd stop wearing it. Maybe the weird hat and lack of hair fattened up her face. Or maybe the B&W shot was extensively photoshopped. Given the child's missing hand obviously some work was done on it.
The indoor picture could have been taken in an older home in Canada. The photographer mentioned that Meghan reminded him that he introduced her to someone who was involved in introducing her to Harry. So, all of these pictures could be old, and from her Toronto days. We have not seen her back, arms, waist and bottom look that thin since shortly after their wedding. One thing is certain, these pictures represent “her truth.”
Assuming that is they do exist & were born of a surrogate, they would in English law, be considered illegitimate until they were adopted, to put it bluntly. Unless they can prove conclusively, once and for all, that they were `born of the body' using his and her gametes, I can't see how they can be considered as 100% `Royals' and legitimately in the LofS.
As Lady C pointed out in her book, the lack of titles for Archie says it all. It's nothing to do with race, it's a question of legitimacy, regardless of Harkle sour-grapes rationalisation.
Lack of challenge to their legitimacy is probably a matter of HM being courteous That's my view anyway.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly refused to attend a royal family gathering to avoid William and Kate Middleton
By Web DeskJune 06, 2022
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly refused to attend a royal family gathering at London’s Guildhall after Friday’s Jubilee thanksgiving service to categorically avoid Prince William and Kate Middleton, reported The Sun.
According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to their UK home, Frogmore Cottage, soon after attending the service at St Paul’s Cathedral, ditching a reception thrown for the royal family.
A Palace source spilled details about Harry and Meghan’s absence, saying: “Harry and Meghan were happy to swing by Clarence House to see Charles on the way to St Paul’s.”
They added: “But afterwards they were less keen to spend time hobnobbing with the family at the reception where they would rub shoulders with William and Kate.”
The aide also shared that both Prince Harry and Meghan had no eye contact with Kate and William throughout the thanksgiving ceremony, and were also seated far away from them.
According to reports, Meghan and Harry sat about 25 ft across the aisle from Prince William and Kate, as well as Prince Charles and Camilla.
-----------------------------
What the heck did the Cambridges do wrong? It is the duo who should be ashamed at their appalling attack on Catherine in the Oprah interview.
What Palace aide uses the term 'swing by'?
It was Harry who was looking at his sister and brother-in-law at St Paul's. It was Harry and Meghan who were ignored by Catherine and William (although Catherine did unhappily glance across the aisle once, looking very heartsore ... remember she loved and was close to her brother-in-law for years). Charles and Camilla also snubbed them.
As I have explained before, it is likely that the Yorks used the apartment at St James to get ready. Clarence House uses the same entrance/exit as St James. The duo rendezvoused with the other four at St James and that is why they arrived together at St Paul's. They were not visiting Charles and Camilla at Clarence House.
This is pure Harkle PR. She especially operates by causing divisions in families.
I worked out why she favours those dangling tendrils ... it is to hide her hairline where her natural 'ethnic' hair and her disappearing hairline are visible.
