A flitter here - The Cut. Flitter there and it's Variety. It hasn't been People for a while so maybe they're next in rotation.
Oh, and building the playground. Kaboom is actually pretty big and known nationally trying to help increase the activity levels of kids. Great. Uvalde is great, I get it but I cannot help but wonder if there would be some equally deserving places in LA. Closer to home. Closer to local eyes (especially if there could be some sort of political something some time).
Each participation always seems to be something in a new direction from the last one - not settling and doing a deep dive into a single subject but more like skipping stones on a pond - shallow taps which drop. Quietly.
The participation is lauded far and wide. And how much they participated in getting it to happen is not disclosed. Ever. If the financials get released, that would be an interesting read. But numbers? that's boring stuff compared to the fun of trying to find the next project to get involved in - the wheeling and dealing.
But, why does everything seem to be just so complicated about them, around them, what they do and who they do it with? The franticness reminds me kind of a Jackson Pollock piece. Splatters and swirls in all directions.
Meanwhile, the world moves on to the next event which catches the eye. And what ever they just sparkled about is forgotten and only sometimes remembered in a news article by a reporter looking to add inches to their current article to make it appear longer.
Comments
For the reality show, Netflix are simply airing content about them. Or is Netflix presenting it as a documentary? Any media outlet is not responsible for what someone says or does while they are filming them (with limits of course). The duo are not Netflix employees. If Netflix is not concerned about creating a horribly fictional story about the royal family (many who are still alive), then I am pretty sure it is not concerned about lies that the duo will tell. No one seems to fact check them - not Oprah, nor anyone else who has interviewed them for TV, nor the few magazines that she has done interviews for. After the current backlash against The Crown, Netflix may add a discreet disclaimer to the show, but they are trying to earn money not be accurate and true in their content. The biggest currency the couple have is the outrage and telling lies.
Sorry to be disagreeable, but Netflix executives are very stupid if they are concerned. And it is just not feasible that they have seen and know what is in the Memoirs. If TBW got a copy of the manuscript and proofs and passed it in to others, them that is a story that I hope sees the light of day (or even the prisoner prince?).
But, memoirs are not an autobiography or biography. Penguin Random House has emphasized that it is his story told in his own words. Memoirs are not supposed to be a meticulously factual account of someone's life.
The social media chatter about Netflix and Penguin Random House being unhappy with discrepancies is not explained by those who are peddling the story. How did it happen and why on earth would either company be concerned? It actually sounds like the kind of nonsense that TBW puts out through her minions!
The sun will do that for some people. Maybe not the English sun. He was also playing water polo at one point, swimming for hours in highly chlorinated indoor water. They don't wear those funny caps all the time.
Question for Nutties: do you think he asked Tom Inskip, aka Skippy?
Nope!
I pray Ms. 43% doesnt set her cap for de Niro. Maybe her bleating and braying about being 43% Nigerian is an attempt to woo de Niro, in the knowledge that his two wives have been African American.
Run, Robert de Niro! Run!
@OCGal: I don’t think de Niro has anything to worry about. The man who needs to watch out is NFL quarterback Tom Brady. Now that he and Gisele have split, I’m guessing Harry’s first wife is studying American football and trying to find out what perfume Gisele favored.
Liz Garbus is a documentary director. So I think whatever Liar and Friar have in the pipeline is and will be billed as a documentary. Accuracy in documentaries does matter. People are jokingly calling it a reality show because some part is meant to include their "love story."
You are right that some hair sun-bleaches easily. I don't know how common that is with the English sun. But the only thing that caused me to discount that theory is that Will's hair did darken for awhile. Most people I've known with hair that easily bleaches didn't have a period when it didn't. And surely as a child Will was outside alot.
I was looking for pics and found this article about his hair. The second 2002 pic (about age 20) shows how blonde he got. (Maybe a pool would do it but that usually turns blonde hair green, I think.) The first pic taken when he was 7, shows him with definite brown hair.

"Netflix to include disclaimer in the Sussex docuseries..."
This was the first thing to appear when I opened my Reddit app this morning. Apparently, according to Neal Sean, Netflix didn't like Liar's comments in her Variety interview about how their documentary wasn't told the way she and Friar would have told it. They're adding a disclaimer to the series saying it was filmed with the full cooperation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
It sounds like Netflix is getting nervous.

I suppose it's only to be expected.
I'm waiting on some more information to come in about Harry's Christmas trip to Papa's reported today in Cosmo. What I can tell you about that right now is that it is NOT meant to be a trip for Harry to explain his intent regarding the book to his family. That is Meghan spinning the truth, trying to get ahead of the rumors that will fly about her husband (for now) spending Christmas without his wife and kids... As soon as I have more on that story, I'll let ya know.
Until then, a source in the podcasting world told me a few of interesting things today:
Apparently, Meghan has jumped on the bandwagon of solidarity with Iran by recording a podcast with Shohreh Aghdashloo. I'm not clear on if it is for an episode of Aghdashloo's podcast or a new episode of Malarky-types. I believe it is for the Ashdashloo's podcast. I don't think this is info is anywhere in the press yet, so we'll have to wait to see if it is true. If it is, Meghan continues to hop on those bandwagons, yet still remains irrelevant.
Apparently the real podcast listener count for Meghan's "nod"-cast is around 1.5 million listeners. I'm told that number accounts for everybody who has played at least one episode ever, not regular listeners, but this is also unconfirmed. It could also be the total number of times it's been streamed, but the former is what is most likely, according to the information I was given.
This is my personal favorite: At Spotify, apparently even the staff refuses to call Meghan's podcast "Archetypes," since, as we know, she hasn't talked about a single archetype yet. Supposedly at internal meetings, Spotify staff calls the show "Stereotypes" instead. I'm glad they at least know there is a difference.
I hope that news from Netflix is true!
Documentary definition: a film or television or radio programme that provides a factual report on a particular subject.
I see your point Henrietta. I suppose in a real documentary, any lies or discrepancies that emerge in interviews, and are not challenged during the interview, would be conveyed to the viewer by the narrator/presenter.
It will be interesting to see what Netflix does with the programme.
I have not gotten far but the other players are Disney, Warner and NBC with upstarts like Apple (and Quibi).
Someone once called Netflix "the Albanian Army". oh my
I doubt it will cover some of our specific interests (although I see Oprah is listed in the index). I suspect it will be good background information about an area we don't seem to know about which was swirling around ones we do.
Harry Markle has written (today and in at least one prior posting) that Harry’s ghostwritten book was finished by the end of 2020. I wonder who her source is? Apparently it’s someone who is also privy to some of the content. It’s a little hard to believe.
According to our favorite Reddit user, Harry hasn't been home in weeks, and he's been staying in San Francisco, probably in a corporate (BetterUp) house or apartment. The unconfirmed rumor is that he will be going home to the U.K. over the holidays, probably to discuss a possible divorce with his family.
I'm so looking forward to the papped photos of the little Mountbatten-Windsor tots trick or treating at Oprah's house dressed as a football and Tom Brady. Mommy's costume probably looks like she is doing tricks.
Not that any of that would stop her from trying.
With the impending book hanging over their heads like the sword of Damocles, Will KCIII really be able to invite H back for Christmas, even to discuss a divorce? I think any such discussions could be handled amongst the solicitors and if necessary over Skype. What could Hapless add to the discussions in person? What of Archie and Lili’s Christmases, Hawwy?
H’s audiences with his father are going to be scarce if any going forward. I think Charles managed to avoid any face to face with his renegade kid on his last visit.
As Advent approaches, I am seriously thinking about giving up following the Harkles for the sake of my spiritual health. As our journalist friend so succinctly put it…Yeet.

The prospect of H topping himself is probably uppermost in their minds - that would be truly terrible for both them and the nation'.
Parents, close family, and friends seldom get over such a tragedy - the feeling of guilt about not having done `enough' can be permanent. Suicide is always an aggressive act. A medic once told me that part at least of the motivation of those who throw themselves off crowded Underground platforms and under a Tube train is that they intend to traumatise as many people as possible.
At a national level, we'd be back in a situation like that the one that followed the death of Diana when things looked very rocky.
I do hope that it's true that H is in the process of breaking free of *. i don't think we've had such a dangerous royal wife since the 14th century - try Isabella, She-Wolf of France.
She has nabbed herself three awards, and she will have to return to the UK for one or give her word salad acceptance speech via video link.
2022 GQ Men of the Year Awards: the Tate Modern in London on 16 November – she is expected to attend in person to receive her honorary award and give a speech.
'The Power of Women - An evening with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex' on 29 November at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown Hotel. Supposedly private, but she is doing this to nab another award and get publicity so there will be photographs and stories.
The Ripple of Hope Award Gala will be held in New York City on 6 December, with the couple sharing an award, and no doubt her giving a speech. (A staunch anti-vaxxer giving an award to a couple who were demanding that the West give free vaccines to everyone in the so-called Third World ... can't make this stuff up!)
That is three ill-fitting designer gowns she will wear once, new jewellery, expensive air travel ... but, besides her podcast and jumping onto the Iran bandwagon, she has three attention-getting gigs lined up for the next month.
If he is throwing separation, divorce and custody battle into the mix, she is in for a wild ride!
But maybe the couple are taking the children to the UK this month to curry favour with the King, as they used to do with the Queen, and the rumours are inaccurate projections. Toxic co-dependence relationships do last, even as they bring out the worst in the two people.
* introduced S Trudeau as a 'humanitarian mother' and said: 'Sophie has become a dear friend and someone who I think is so implemented of strength that comes from embracing your Humanity, even in the face of all these family and home and public pressures, keeping that sense of self while holding up the mantle of what comes with being a parent and a spouse'. I think * is talking about herself here... 'humanitarian mother' and 'even in the face of all these family and home and public pressures'. Yes, Megs darling, you're so transparent.
Craig Ferguson had a
tired clientel?
Whining about taking the citizenship test and getting a dig in at her husband not being bright enough to pass the test. So, if she passed the test, why has she not revealed that before and why did she not become a citizen?
Then she talks about her daily routine, involving hubby and the children - because she's an ordinary mom and so relatable, I suppose (eye roll).
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11376813/Meghan-Markle-shares-glimpse-Montecito-morning-routine.html
So, her podcast, that is supposedly about archetypes, has been reduced to her talking about her mundane and completely ordinary routine!
1) always suppose to be a 4-5 year gig (think hollywood marriages of convenience)
2) she and he get into nasty divorce publicity and his book looks like crap love conquers all my arse 😉
3) if true her appearances will be less fugly than usual. she will be bringing her “best” self to show him and the world what he is missing
she will find away to scuttle any positives his book may have. it may be a wild ride. yes the upcoming appearances will be interesting. she’s will give us at least three or four new pics/spray tan shades. this could be fun
oh i had a strange and awful thought. does she wear just enough “make up” to cover a make up bruise” and spark rumors of abuse ahead of his book or any discussion of divorce. since we thought early on she was beating him with some of his bruises (and did anyone think is left eye in the in your face book cover have a little purpling) and we know she turns things around likes it’s opposite day everyday. will she claim abuse by him.
i do agree. charles may not meet his son but if there is a divorce and he asks for help 1) charles may tell him you have to see it through on your own. it’s your mess be a man about it and clean it up 2) he steps on and pays her off but she continues to spin her crap. the latter just won’t work and people will be upset of charles throws money at this
The authors/publishers were under the impression that the border between England and Scotland ran along Hadrian's Wall. It does not.
Appalling behaviour, which no one among the courtiers or royal family could control. A cursory knowledge of the royal family's history shows that stuff like that never stays hidden and will make the future endlessly difficult, no matter how hard you try or how much you change. (Although, the Wessexes have succeeded remarkably, mostly I think because the public are not really interested in them.) As we have seen with Catherine and William, if the press does not have scandal to feed off, it will create one. How could she not have known that when she so delights in bringing up 'Waity Katie'?
A messy and hasty Megxit that destroyed family relationships and ruined their children's lives (although one not born at that stage). The citizenship story is more proof how messy and hasty their departure was. There were other options; they chose reckless haste.
The subsequent building of an independent life with no talent but whining, lying, and empty pomposity as currency to earn the wealth they need to live the life they want. (Sure, she wants a domestic life with husband, family and friends, but she also wants the luxuries, the attention, the awards and the platforms.)
It is very human to fail, in small ways and big ways, but their failures are so public and are the result of character and personality flaws that they seem unable to learn from and correct, no matter how many people try to help them in so many ways. I feel sorry for them, but do wish they would disappear to a remote place like the Falklands for a good few years, and do some difficult but sincere self reflection.
Who do I think would have been the best partners for them (to save them the impossible self learning and growth)? Someone like Jeff Bezos for her, and someone like Chelsey Davies for him.
why did she not become a citizen?
--------
She didn't pass the test (we would have known), and didn't even take it. You can't just rock up and take the test, she would have had to get a spousal visa (maybe she did) and wait at least 3 years, perhaps more. It was far too soon so I don't even know why she was talking about it.
Presumably, it hasn't occurred to * that the more they wear down HM (His Majesty) the sooner they'll be up against William - assuming they're not already?
Either she was looking at her male teachers pants during her 4th grade grammar lessons or she has retrieved a disjointed irrational thought while under the influence of a banned pyschoactive substance she shares with Harry.
Her mind is just a puddle of cow manure anyway you look at it!
What a load of nonsense.
Princess Margaret had neither the education nor upbringing to equip her to forge a career for herself, at a time when it was unusual for women to be independent and have careers.
Princess Anne never just hung about waving to the crowds. Since she left school, she has dedicated herself to being a hardworking, loyal and down-to-earth working royal, along with becoming a champion horse rider.
Prince Andrew had a successful and long career in the navy and then foolishly gave it up and embarked on what would end up being a disastrous career as a working royal. That was due to his character and not his position as spare.
The hapless prince also failed to build a successful life-long career in the army, despite having support. Like Andrew, it was not his position as the spare but his character that led to his failures. Even after leaving the army, he could have looked for a position in a wildlife/environmental organization and not become a working royal, if he had put his mind to it. The Invictus Games would still have been possible for him.
I think that William would have made a very successful life for himself outside the Firm. But having a father like that does not guarantee that one of his children will not turn out to be an Andrew or Harry.
Here is what I think transpired around "Megxit":
At some point early in the New Year, 2019, the Royal family got wise to the pregnancy shenanigans of Harry's wife. I believe they gained knowledge of an illicit surrogacy arrangement * had made, either with Harry's collusion or separately. #5 may not have known 'officially' early on, hence the couple's arguments in Australia and his question, "Are you really pregnant?" He had to have been read in at some point, leading to snarky passive-aggressive remarks at later engagements . . such as these lovelies on a visit to schoolchildren: "You're pregnant . . ? Is it mine?" and on another occasion "She's got a big baby in there." (when she manifestly did NOT have a big baby in there. Even IF she carried Archie (for the sake of argument) . .he was barely 7 pounds and this remark was made months before his debut. He might have been the size of an avocado at that that stage.) There are reasons to suspect that H has got fertility issues that would be known to his doctors, who would have informed Charles if these were discovered when H was a child. There are definitely reasons to suspect that Madam cannot conceive her own children though miracles can happen. In Madam's case, her miraculous uterus is a wonder of the natural world.
Coming hard on the heels of the announcement that the couple would relocate to Frogmore Cottage, there was the announcement that, after the baby's birth and a suitable period of a few months, the Sussexes would be posted to Africa for a period of two years in their much-trumpeted positions as HM's special representatives to the Commonwealth. This narrative was pushed in the media for several weeks . . .until abruptly it was announced that the Sussexes would not after all be going to Africa. I believe this agenda was proposed to Madam and she pitched a volcanic fit . . but I also think the Palace was grasping at straws to get #5, #5's wife and her miraculous stomach and 'their baby' out of the public eye as much as possible. Containment, in a word.
Madam will not be contained. I think faced with the options presented by the Firm of--accept relocation to a spot in the Commonwealth of our choosing and behave yourselves--in exchange for which we will support you in every luxury Johannesburg can supply . . but you must keep a low profile and the less we speak about 'the baby' the better--OR you can go to the devil and be independent of us. But the Queen assumed that they would discuss such a drastic move with her first. Perhaps the sojourn to Canada directly after the South African tour was a trial, to see if that would be more acceptable than Africa. The selection of Vancouver Island was interesting. Across a vast continent from *'s contacts in Toronto or Ottawa, a well-heeled but quiet corner of the country. Better yet, an island. Just the thing for a couple desirous of privacy. There was the ubiquitous chatter that H was possibly undergoing inpatient drug rehab in Saanich, hence the location. Doesn't seem likely the RF would have domiciled them in a shady property with ties to the Russian underworld. As ever, with these two, sifting though the lies, obfuscations and inflated stories to unpick what might *actually* be true is a fruitless labor.
Suppose a divorce is on the cards ... would Charles help him out as the Queen helped out Charles and Andrew when they got divorced? I doubt that the hapless one could ever pay back his father, and TBW would bleed the King dry (she would never stop spending and blackmailing the King to give her more money).
Getting * out of the Royal family is in their best interest, so yes, I do think Charles would pay for the divorce. Now that he's the monarch, he no longer has to borrow money from Mummy to come up with a divorce settlement--But neither do I think he's in the mood to be further extorted by Harry's wife. Things have gone too far. He is a wartime King now and he's gathering around himself a war cabinet--tabloid media specialists and constitutional law experts. He'd offer a nice settlement to * if she were the type to go away quietly and live in such a way as to not bring further shame upon the Royal family.
* is not that type. So I don't think KCIII will give her endless money. He's not giving them endless money now and they are still on the record as married. The ticking bomb is 'the children', though. If the children are demonstrably figments, or are surrogate children who are not in their custody and never have been, I think the court will award any support monies to her accordingly. Or perhaps KCIII's ultimate end game is to see * jailed for fraud. Take your pick as to what kind.
The Toxic Twunts are far more dangerous to the family free range than they were before . . I truly don't know how this is going to play out. Because this is, with Harry's collusion, an inside job by one of their own. I do not envy Charles or William one bit. It's like the Sussex Situation is a grim and noxious cloud hanging over all. But I do think we are moving into the end stage with this drama. The next few months will be the pinnacle of their perceived power and ability to inflict damage. Once the character-assassinating projects are released, the Palace will deal with them. They will take a hit, unless both the book and the show are so bad, so puerile, that the Twunts disarm themselves. They are super at issuing threats but their follow-through has always been crap. The 'bombs' that the RF are bracing for could turn out to be little more than a series of wet, weak, whiny farts.
In any case, good or bad, the release of these two items are their last hurrah, I think. Either they divorce and have all their lies dragged into the light (as far as the court is concerned anyway, if not the general public) or else they continue in their co-dependent toxicity and slide into oblivion like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
I think H agreed to a contract marriage as a way of getting out of his family duties and sticking it to his father and brother, but as someone mentioned, these arrangements generally last for 5 years, absolute top. We've been in Year 5 since May. I really think the next 6 months are going to be revelatory but not, perhaps, in the way the Twunts want.
The question was wtte that `Which 17th Century Monarch produced a Prayer Book which laid down more ceremony?' James I? Charles I? Charles II? James II?'
Correct answer: Charles I. They were thinking of the 1637 Prayer Book designed purely for Scottish use, whereas most English Anglicans would think `Charles II in 1662? - No,that didn't say anything much about ceremonies...'
In a question about Scottish ski centres, I forgot the Lecht - fair enough.
Another question that gave me pause for thought was this one:
`Which two islands are closely linked with the UK but not part of it?
The Channel Islands?
Jersey?
The Maldives?
The Isle of Man?
This is tricky; The Isle of Man is clearly one answer but Jersey is one of 5 islands in the Channel Islands archipelago: Jersey, Guernsey (the 2 main ones) plus Alderney, Sark and Herm. Jersey as a single island fits the question but `Channel Islands' was the right answer.
Of course, there's a book that one is supposed to have swotted up on - and the pass mark is abysmally low. I just think these questions weren't tested thoroughly before publication.
Without preparation, I'd probably fail, thanks to arguing with the Examiners!
BTW: I'm sure I couldn't pass the US test without preparation.
also with the rumors swirling that she’s not at the house she has to put herself at the house. we ask where are the kids and she creates a scenario for kids (but no pics) and no harry. produce the harry before the ransom gets paid 😉
I think you may well be on the right track re Megxit. I think they were exiled.
…………………………
If there is a divorce, * should get a lump sum - she has to - and anything for the children should be contingent on evidence of said children but this would never be made public, unfortunately. Charles can't be doling out money willy nilly for the next 18 years without knowing where the money's going. DNA tests would be good too and hospital records if they do exist.
I missed who discovered the jet engine, St. David's Day (that is what comes from being a follower of Charles Wesley), and one other that I have already forgotten.
The US Citizenship test is huge and hard - newspapers publish it yearly on the 4th. I usually miss the questions about the amendments after the Bill of Rights....
The DM now has an article with 24 citizenship questions. I'm glad to report I got 23/24 right. Not sure if they're genuine questions but I think they're the sort of questions asked.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11377853/The-UK-citizenship-test-questions-Meghan-Markle-faced-right.html
1. `she won't go quietly
2) she'll fight for a settlement to keep her in the style to which she is accustomed.
There isn’t any transcript to read, so I was paraphrasing the info around the book and Mole. Anyhow I haven’t quite worded it correctly, just so Nutties are aware. 🫤
... I truly don't know how this is going to play out. Because this is, with Harry's collusion, an inside job by one of their own.
I really agree with this. No one in the family would have thought up a plan for this.
Doria was face timing her. I bet this was pre-arranged that Doria would contact her in the middle of the podcast.
Absolutely! To clap back at all the people on social media saying she's estranged from all her family.
English schools today teach v little history these days as far as I can see - a friend told me about her teenage (older?) grand daughter who was puzzled by the Wellington Arch as seen in the Funeral procession - admittedly, she lives nr Wellington Somerset but never wondered about the obelisk to the Iron Duke that overlooks the M5 nearby. Had never heard of the Duke of Wellington, nor Battle of Waterloo - when told she assumed it had been fought in the vicinity of the London South Bank, Festival Hall and the London Terminus of that name.
Interesting ... did she make a habit of taking stuff from a photo shoot?
-----
Was she resident in the UK long enough to take the citizen exam/test?
To apply as the spouse or civil partner of a British citizen you must have lived in the UK for the last 3 years.
Is she telling porkies again? Or was she given special treatment?
What about the court case she lost about not paying taxes?
That's pretty obscure, but didn't Charles's religious actions in Scotland affect the beginning of the Civil War? I'm in the US, but my mother was a Graham, supposedly descended from a first cousin and sidekick of the hung, drawn, and quartered Marquis of Montrose, so I should know more about this than I do. They were probably trying to trip up people who would first think of the KJV Bible.
Twat will get the same kind of settlement that Fergie got, not much of anything at all. Fergie at least tried working, and wrote some fiction. There were real children with that couple, not plastic dummies or hired child actors/models.
IMO Lady Campbell knows more real info than the Harry Markle writer. Lady C is well versed in royal connections, relations, ancestries, etc. IMO I believe that the RF uses her as a conduit of information, back and forth.
Lady C says, she has 2 sources (people she knows) , she said she doesn’t know whether the separation story is a lie spread by Maggot to get Mole off the hook regarding the contents of the book or whether they really have separated. The story goes that he didn’t want to continue with it, but she did. Maggot wants the royal family to believe they are separated, but to reconnect at a later date. Lady C said only time will tell to see which version is the truth.
There was a lot said in the video, far too much for me to add here. 🫤
Harry & Meghan are SEPARATED/no BANISHMENT/property rights/PSYCH issues/...
https://youtu.be/nyHUHmwI9Gc
I agree, she personally knows members of the British royal family etc., so it’s very believable.
I don’t think Lady C completely buys the separation story, she added at the end (of the video) that it’s the sort of spin Narcissist’s like Maggot spread to get their partners in crime off the hook. 🥴

Details unclear but expect some eye rolling material from a particular delightful duo in 2023. TIME 100th Anniversary garb. Remember where you read it!
TBW really is as thick as two bricks, so this is probably true. No sense of history - Catherine is now Princess of Wales and will be Queen. Photographs by her of newborn Archie would be priceless.
Getting back to Sophie and Justin…they steal from us, the taxpayers..for their organic food, their heat their Nannie’s…their everything. They are not Canadians at heart. We are suffering. Th farmers here ar being destroyed, as they are in Hi
Holland. These points are never discussed.
While we suffer, as individuals, the elite continue to prosper.
Some good gossip in the above thread.
A lot of people on social media are convinced that legal separation is imminent. I don't see it happening. I think he loves crazy, especially as it reminds him of the mother he does not remember.
On how she is dealing with the separation (yet another winning scheme), which I think is very typical of her character:
"No. Her conviction that she has been wronged by the RF and this will turn things (I think this is the Memoirs?) around pre-dates the separation. I get the feeling she was not expecting Harry to get fed up and that she's in denial that it's even going on."
The summary of the good stuff here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/yjlger/comment/iupm1k8/
I still do not see how Netflix know what is in the Memoirs, especially as the gossip implies that it is executives at Netflix and not simply the people working on the documentary.
There are a lot of experts on the couple here. What do you believe/not believe in this gossip?
@RalphL - Indeed, the point about the Prayer Book is pretty obscure to someone of my era. Back in 1988, my OU course was on 17C England and although there was plenty about Laud, I don't recall hearing that this was a new version of the Prayer Book, not just a revised version of of that of 1549. We certainly knew about Jenny Geddes hurling her stool the preacher though.
See https://www.open.edu/openlearn/history-the-arts/history/world-history/imposition-the-prayer-book. - from 2001.
One would have had to have read the test `set book' very carefully to pick up on this - the point reflects the shift since Scottish devolution after all, my OU course was `Seventeenth Century England: a changing culture'.
Thanks for the link to Lady C's video. She is very cautious about she says about the separation and it at pains to say it could be manipulation on *'s part.
@Sandie
I looked at the Express article you mentioned and saw a headline that said 93% of their readers said they wouldn't buy H's book. I'm sure people will find better ways of spending £14.

In other news, Samantha is now back on Twitter. Let's see if she has anything to say

Looks as if she's dangling the prospect of Coronation filming in front of Netflix - with her playing herself.
I came across a post on social media saying that Peter Phillips was at the Tusk Awards. Scroll down to the end of the article above, and indeed there he is!
out more & she said to me (the late Queen): "but they're in love! and when you're in love you want to be together!"
-----
Remember this story? The Queen must have found it very odd that the American couple did not want a honeymoon and wanted to jump into public appearances immediately. I think the Queen knew the difference between being in love and acting as if you are in love; genuine love for the other versus self love. I think she saw who TBW was right from the start and never liked TBW, but was gracious and open-minded in giving them support anyway.
1. So I was told they filed for separation in the UK, and it was Harry who initiated the separation. I kept trying to post it yesterday and did post that the separation scoop was coming, but clarification came late and then I've procrastinated, so Lady C apparently beat me to the punch. Regarding the separation, she clarified this morning, however, that it was "pre-separation agreement," not an official separation yet.
2. Harry has reportedly not been home in weeks and is up in the Bay Area drinking some hard BetterUp Kool-Aid. In my opinion, there is something predatory about BetterUp. It sounds like they are knowingly taking advantage of a mentally ill person who is more unstable and searching more for relief than he's ever been.
3. Meghan has a divorce attorney, but that's a given if separation litigation has been started. The attorney is purportedly female.
4. Separation or not, Meghan allegedly believes in her ten-sizes-too-small heart that Harry's book is going to vindicate her to the public and make public perception just completely shift, turning their piss-poor fortunes around. She is very upfront about this even in internal meetings. Getting even with the RF was as much of a motivation for her to have the book come out now than the money.
5. Speaking of which finances are apparently still dire and she thinks this book will fix that too. She basically sees the book the same way she saw the Oprah interview. Like it's going to put them back on the road to the top.
5. Allegedly, over the funeral days, Harry went to Big Daddy Chuck for money, and at this time KC3 started Sparry's revelation that Meghan is a fraud by showing him some shit that really shocked him. People are saying Harry was especially disturbed by how Meghan deliberately tried to replicate things about his mother even before they met. I don't know how this is news to him but it supposedly was.
6. The final straw for Harry is said to have been when Netflix sat them down with the manuscript of Spare-y and the crock-u-series and specifically pointed out in an itemized fashion the incidences of Meghan completely and repeatedly contradicting herself between the book and the series.
7. This one I'm not clear on, but somehow the reason everything has gone quiet about release of Netflix series is due to these inconsistencies.
8. I feel like I'm forgetting something good.
9. Whatever is going on, it is highly doubtful that their NF series is going to stream in December, and I've heard from more than one place that if it doesn't stream in December they are going to opt out a la Pearl.
My guess is this is the big story that a major British newspaper is sitting on, trying to be triply sure it's entirely accurate! I wonder if the Netflix part of the story is why they're being careful. Could a really bad story about a Netflix project have market consequences for Netflix?

@Martha I'm also Canadian, and I'm happy to welcome another Canuck here! However, I feel compelled to say - and I absolutely am not someone with money - but our views of our wonderful country...may vary.
Who knows if that's true, but it would explain Netflix having access to the book details early. Although one might think that Penguin would be unhappy about that arrangement.
Thanks fir posting the text from the gossip at SecondhandCoke.
Separation? I doubt it.
He was indeed in SF for a ButterUp event. What I do find surprising is that she has not taken over that of his, as she did with IG. I wonder how he got her to stand back? A narc hates being told what to do and become irrational (i.e. would blow up that source of income for him out of spite if she is prevented from dominating and controlling). Maybe he has learnt how to manipulate her?
I don't believe the story about son going to daddy to ask for money and King showing him stuff about TBW. The king had a hectic schedule from the moment the Queen died. There just was not the space or time for such a meeting.
The story about Netflix, as I said in a previous post, is not believable. People at Netflix have not seen the Memoirs. And, unless, they are incredibly stupid, they know that the couple lie every time they are interviewed. The publisher is protecting itself by calling the book 'Memoirs'. We have discussed at great length if Netflix is responsible for lues told in a documentary. Not if they call it a reality show!
----
However, Netflix is not advertising anything from them at all. There has been more than enough time to make an Invictus documentary, and the director supposedly hired to do so is top class and perfect for such a project. What is the delay?
Very interesting! I come from book publishing and I can see a contract having the condition that Netflix must be supplied with manuscript/proofs in order to make a documentary out of the Memoirs. This would not be unusual.
This would explain so much about the gossip that just does not make sense to me.
Is the reality show about them actually a show based on his Memoirs, which the narc wife says is a story about their love story, completely ignoring the fact that he lived an eventful life for more than 30 years before he met her!
Sandie:
...Remember this story? The Queen must have found it very odd that the American couple did not want a honeymoon and wanted to jump into public appearances immediately...
Ah but if you have been under the impression that you got paid for visits, going on tour immediately would have money start flowing your way.
Maybe she hadn't figured that one out yet. It would explain the shocking comment on tour then, wouldn't it?
I believe that she had been told that (after marriage) she could continue to work as an actress but that she would not be a working royal was part of the deal. I cannot imagine they would not have told her that part but hearing requires the listener to be open to hearing something they may not understand (ask questions) or something they may not want to hear.
So my thinking is that this got twisted eventually into double dipping was possible in some manner - as long as it was not in the UK and combined with an unwillingness to recognize the differences between the existing working royals and non-working royals. That difference is still being reworked now it has been a couple years.
Combine that with the soft no they heard earlier, perhaps there was a feeling that the no was malleable and she only needed to be worked over to flip the decision?
I can remember reading an article of someone who had worked with the Queen on a book about the royal jewelry. She would send over the manuscript in sections and one came back several times with a note about reworking before she realized that the Queen was not comfortable with the directness of the phrasing of how certain pieces had been acquired (which she had not altered yet). Very understated way of communicating.
And, for some, underestimated to boot.
Photograph with a couple of sugars just posted. Folk are saying it looks like Malibu or Venice Beach?
It looks as if * has read this:
https://www.angelicalbalance.com/spirituality/mortons-toe-meaning-personality/
Judging from my experience, it's all a load of b*llocks.
knock harry’s book off the front pages (either to sabotage his pr or to knock the negative stories off the front page)
clear the way for her podcast publicity?
set us all up to look at all this disinformation out there. my husband is a cough genius or just look don’t trust anything out there including blind items about yachting 😉
or a veiled threat from her (particularly the san fran rumors) to him (since we know they read all the social media) i know what you are up to in san fran and i will leak it all out.

Meghan Markle Reveals Daughter Lili's Big Milestone — and Describes the Family's 'Morning Rush'
The Duchess of Sussex shared that she makes breakfast for Prince Harry, Archie and Lili each morning in the latest episode of her podcast
Meghan Markle nd Prince Harry's kids are both on the move!
In the latest episode of her Archetypes podcast, the Duchess of Sussex revealed her daughter Lilibet Diana's latest milestone: taking her first steps!
"Lili has just started walking," Meghan told actress Pamela Adlon in a chat about being a wife and mother. "She's a year and a couple of months old."
Meghan added that with son Archie Harrison being 3, she's "in the thick of it — toddling."
Prince Harry previously shared that Lili had taken her first step back in April.
"Her current priorities are trying to keep up with her brother; she took her first
step just a few days ago!" Prince Harry told PEOPLE exclusively in an interview surrounding the Invictus Games in The Hague. "Proud papa, here."

Anyway, here's an article about her, originally from Hello!, which seems to have missed the point that we now have a new Queen.

I do believe Maggot would be that devious to spread them for PR purposes to knock the negative stories off. Plus if he left her, she could spin all kinds of victim stories about herself…and then they (Maggot and Mole if they were complicit with the rumour) could spin the reconciliation stories at a later date. 🫤
It’s just a case of waiting and see what happens. Maybe Mole has seen the light and left her. 😛
@WBBM, yes, Lady C is very good friends with Princess Olga and attended her birthday where her friends bought her a sit down lawn mower.
