Christmas 2023

Christmas and then New Year.  

It's a crazy time of year with all the anticipation of gifts given and received.  And followed by hopes of a good next year.

Them?  well, it is rarely seems to be a dull moment.  One or both always seem to have something going on.

Keep calm and carry on (while I wrap the gifts I have and order those I have not yet).

Over at SMM there was a comment that * was too old to play an intern in the instant coffee commercial, but at least she was working.

so I haven't seen that story about Hairy losing his green card anywhere else except for that link I provided in that last thread.
Set of pics here, some of which I haven't seen before, at least one of which looks like a dolly:

Lots of comments about her being too old for an intern (tho' nice to see her working) but she's approaching the point where B&Q would consider her to fulfil their employment for oldies policy - in less than 8 years, she'll be 50. It'll be sooner if you believe reports like this:

OPINION - Meghan Markle's embarrassing cameo shows she and Prince Harry have begun their inevitable descent

Mindlessly scrolling through IG tonight and one of those celebrity trivia posts popped up about Bad Hollywood Parents. There were about twenty mentioned from Judy Garland to Whitney Houston/Bobby Brown. When there seemed to be no more parental disasters the topic changed to paternity. Is the celebrity the bio parent or not? Mick Jagger was mentioned several times. Funny. Then Prince Harry was mentioned. That in the Royal Family a paternity test is required. Archie is Harry’s son and it is assumed that the same test was done for Lilly. I found it quite odd that Harry was even mentioned. Recently Lady C said that both kids were Harry’s and quite vague about * being the birth mother and how clever she was to quickly move to California for legal reasons. Now talk about her having a hysterectomy before she hooked Harry. It seems as if we are seeing a soft rollout of the truth about those children. I am wondering from who? I think it’s most likely H & *. Lady C says that they will be exposed next year and they know it.

I think 2023 was supposed to be their 'year of reconciliation'. That did not happen ... they remain estranged from their families. Now 2024 is dubbed to be the 'year of redemption'. Well, they have set the tone with the stories of being so much in demand for huge deals, major projects, and achieving huge success. And that Clever Blends ad sets the scene ... an ad that is all about her acting like an amateur, showcasing what comes across as a backyard business, and nothing about the actual product.

@Girl with a Hat

I clicked on the link you provided in the previous post re H's green card. I just googled the headline 'US Government Revokes Prince Harry's Green Card, Forcing Sussexes Back to UK Permanently' and found a couple of videos. Today I can only find one.

Girl with a Hat- The Heritage Foundation will continue to FOIA the government for Harry’s residence status here in the US. He has no domicile in the UK as of now so I wonder how that will affect his residency and his taxes in both countries *. Butterup HQ has moved to Austin, Texas so will Harry do a lot of zoom calls? Lots of changes for Harry in 2024. For *, same old, same old.

* I have read that the citizenship exam to become a US citizen is very difficult. How is Harry going to pass without cheating? He couldn’t finish his Art History project or exam for A levels without his teacher doing most of the work. What a wastrel. I guess he’ll be in the US on a spousal visa forevermore.

I watched that Clevr brand ad on Reddit and it was ridiculous. Nowhere during the ad, were the products that they are trying to promote and sell viewed, discussed, enjoyed, etc. It was like the Invictus Games, i.e., Madam’s PR puffery. There are also links to California government websites detailing problems with lead in Clevr products and an article about child labor in China. Tainted baby formula and dog food from China ( I was living in the ME when my dog got sick from tainted canned food from China; switched food and she recovered). Caveat emptor.
Elskainga said…
I meant to include that Clevr Brands ad was filmed in 2022 but just now released. I guess she can claim a film role for this year.

Here is a link to the first page from California Attorney General’s Office citing Clevr Brands for lead and lead components.

What happens to the children if Her Pompous Nothingness isn't their mother? It is quite an achievement if you marry a prince without a womb and convince your husband that it is OK to lie to his family and place two random kids in the royal line of succession.

One thing is terrifyingly clear. Neither this one or his wife have any interest in their children's future, good name or mental health. Playing very sick games is obviously something they both relish doing. And the price of that is on their tots.

The above made me laugh (love the new title you gave her), nod my head in agreement, and shake my head in amazement that she has gotten away with so much.

But then my heart sank in sorrow for the children, and the terribly warped upbringing these two losers have foisted upon them, when you opined:

I came across the photo of hapless and Archie in the above tarot reading. That is not Archie, and the photo looks like a fake. The deranged SussexSquad often 'create' photos of the people they worship.
OCGal said…
Regarding the kids:

Firstly, due to the constant secrecy, lies and shenanigans surrounding the children, I didn’t believe until recently that they even existed. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but the incessant oddities connected to the laughable, medically-impossible length of gestation, provable lies about where and when and how the kids were born and who provided medical care, etc led me to suspect the children were only figments of H & M’s sick imaginations.

Secondly, only recently must I acknowledge that the poor things probably do exist, because some people not known to be liars have claimed they have seen or met the children.

I then didn’t believe there was any biological connection to H & M, but rather that the kids had been obtained in some secretive way.

Now, Lady C apparently has made clear that the children are indeed biologically Harry’s, while carefully proclaiming no such thing about Meghan’s involvement.

The fact that Harry is biologically connected to those kids is astounding to me, but makes some of the royal family’s inexplicable non-actions more understandable. I have wanted and waited for the RF to treat H & M like the radioactive waste I believe them to be, but if there are two genuine children I can see why the RF reins themselves in.

I am sick to my stomach that two innocent children exist and are in the incompetent (at best) hands of that couple, and that Harry has allowed this whole charade to begin and continue. The Montecito Missus I believe to be mentally ill beyond help, and the lowest of grifters, so I wash my hands of her, but Harry’s actions and connivances I believe are wicked. Wicked. Egregious doesn’t begin to describe his ongoing actions.

If I feel this range of emotions over two vulnerable precious children, how must Charles feel?

Lack of a Green Card may mean H has to leave US but would * have to go as well?

Similarly, H can always come back here as a Brit but surely * is still categorised as an alien (in the political/legal sense - whether she is in the sci-fi sense is open to discussion) as she couldn't be arsed to stay in the Royal Family long enough to meet the residence requirements, let alone take & pass the test, for British citizenship. We should be able to keep her out.

It'd be so ironic - for all the ink that's been spilled writing about a possible divorce - if they were split up by the rules that the rest of us have to observe.

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas...

It seems they have been in Costa Rica on holiday again. Just under a week. Private plane.
Maneki Neko said…
If H loses his right to stay in the US and has to go back to the UK that's bad enough but would * have to follow (please, no)? I hope she remembers she said she wouldn't set foot in the UK again. Would this precipitate a divorce? Unless 'true love' wins and they try to settle in yet another country/continent.

@Magatha

Bravo for Too Little Too Latte!👏👏
What has Prince Harry, that modern day Philippe Égalité of the house of Windsor, to offer to his fatherland and it's monarch? He may or may not talk with his father and make preparations for a showy return to Britain, but will King Charles accept him back? It is not likely that the army has any respect left for him or any interest to let him represent the British troops. And his "charity work" has a foul whiff around it after "his universal service" in his Archewell foundation. There seems to be very little he can offer to the country of his birth.

Will King Charles risk his popularity to save his son even when he can't trust Harry ever to behave again as a true member of the British Royal Family?
Girl with a Hat said…
@Magatha,

yes, bravo. Sorry, I was half asleep still when I read that and I thought it was a type for "late".

You really are brilliant.
Martha said…
I have NEVER believed in the existence of two kids. Just reading up thread, OCgal, I completely concur!
Fifi LaRue said…
No matter what Lady C says, I don't believe in the existence of the "children."
Lady C gets a lot correct, but she doesn't have the full truth.

The faked photos in Costa Rica continue to serve that there are no children. * can't be bothered with such needy individuals.
My position re `Archie' has shifted and I now beg to differ with some of the views above.

I think it's possible that the young lad in the Griffinscope photo could have been born of H's sperm but not of *'s ovum. He looks so northern European.

Would racist H have feared using *'s eggs, just in case his babe resembled Doria too strongly? After all, this could have been the essence of RF discussions with him which seem to have taken place - could he accept a child that was less than purest pink? We know that intense pigmentation was unlikely but H's understanding on this matter is sure to be limited.

Another thought has just occurred to me, please bear with me while I talk about dog breeding and indulge in pure speculation and bad taste:

Back in the 1930s, my parents `adopted' a pedigree Cocker Spaniel bitch which the breeder no longer wanted because she had got out while on heat and become pregnant with some sort of cross-breed. Thus she was `tainted' and at that time nobody would want subsequent pups.(Not that anyone sane thought a remarried widow could still produce children sired by her first husband.)

Also, might H be so fussy and ill-informed as to expect the mother of his child to be a spotless virgin? ( with a turkey baster, perhaps? So much cheaper than an IVF clinic. Or did he just do it the old-fashioned way like most other people?) It could explain that Christmas-card-stable theme - another of their bad jokes `We know something that they don't - tee-hee?

So is Archie just another Royal by-blow? Heaven help us if he is being brought up to claim his `rights' in pseudo-Jacobite rebellion? Poor child.

What do other Nutties think of these speculations? Should I take more water with my liquor?

Perhaps off topic, but what struck me is that Queen Elizabeth knew death was near and was concerned that dying at Balmoral would make the funeral arrangements difficult for everyone. I don't think the witch will ever understand what service to others and duty actually are. It is also interesting what Anne says about Camilla. There is no way the witch could ever be capable of supporting her husband, for life, in a role that is not natural to her. That is the kind of love that the duo just do not understand.
Sandie said…
I actually do not believe this 'tea'. I do not understand the psychology of hit but people do this - claim to have a friend or family member who knows someone who tells an unlikely story about the duo. (And I do believe the children exist and are their children. I am just surprised that they actually took them on holiday with them.)

https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/18nv2f1/paulam_is_friends_with_the_director_of_tourism/

Summary of the video, which is not credible to me.

MM requested the local paper report they were there. She’s pissed they didn’t use sussex titles.

They were there about coffee.

Harry left on the morning of the third day.

There are pics of them with children but they did not have their children with them.

They did not pay for resort where they stayed. It was comp’d.

They arrived on private jet.

But someone did some checking and made this comment:

Harry and Meghan and the kids were there, confirmed by Costa Rica immigration and they all arrived on Dec 14 and they all left together on Dec 20.

If for the sake of argument, Megaliar arranged surrogates and Ginge jizzed in a cup to become a father (pardon the crudeness but bluntly put, that’s all it takes) I can understand his lack of bonding with ‘the children’. When has he ever remotely seemed paternal? That press conference with Bishop Tutu in South Africa was so uncomfortable. H touched the boy child’s foot like it was a grenade. For her part, she acted like she never held a baby before. Even with nannies, surely they would interact somewhat with their own child over 4+ months. Since then nothing either has done has remotely convinced me that they are parents.

Back when he was the cheeky most popular royal behind the queen, Harry was always hammering on about how he couldn’t wait to have kids. Now that he ostensibly has them, his fatherhood is as invisible as they are. Saying he wanted kids was just all part of his palace image management because why in the world would a selfish and completely self-absorbed juvenile drug addict white with babies? And she doesn’t have a maternal bone in her body. I’m just wondering why to all appearances the Palace couldn’t put an end to the charade with the pregnancy. Why was she and Harry allowed to stage that pageant of deception at Windsor Castle and release fraudulent pictures depicting Royal persons? Harry’s wife is audacious but how did the wife of the spare manage to be the ringmaster of her own circus of this magnitude? Even more than the shifting moon bombs that remains the great mystery of our time. Grifty isn’t that smooth of an operator. And yet she did it.

If these are surrogate children, that begs the question: could the palace really not intervene? According to the constitution, children not born of a royal prince and his legitimate wife or not royal for the purposes of titles or succession. That must’ve been explained to Harold from his youth. If the pregnancies were entirely faked, all the more reason the palace should’ve intervened. If as I believe she swanned around with increasingly ridiculous and bumps For what felt like 11 months… I don’t understand why she wasn’t called out

Skank was wearing stiletto heels and some god-awful pants in supposedly Costa Rica.
Nobody wears stilettos in Costa Rica on vacation.
Skank looked ridiculous.
Again, no proof they were there.
No photos, it didn't happen. Just like the Taylor Swift concert, no photos, she wasn't there.
The PR made sure to add that The Losers arrived by private plane. IMO that's about building up their self importance.
Again, it didn't happen.
The more Skank can put out the fiction of "private jet" and she does it often, the bigger she feels.
Everything that comes out of The Losers PR is false, there never has been any truth in any thing they have said.

Narcissists lie. It's what they do. If their lips are moving, or their PR is making a statement, it's a lie.

I don't believe governments, any government, comment on celebrity gossip; they don't confirm nor do they deny.
Immigration is a serious business, whether it's permanent or a tourist visit.
Governments don't confirm gossip, it just doesn't happen.
It's the continuing false statements put out the The Losers.

IMO the false narrative that The Losers were in Costa Rica is to cover for the fact they were not invited to some important celebrity gathering/event. It was something.
OCGal said…
@Girl with a Hat posted an image of Meghan with a small blonde child (supposedly this is Lilibet snapped in Costa Rica) and since I saw it I can’t get it out of my head. I am so disturbed by this and instantly thought a jumble of uncomfortable thoughts:

1. No child wants to be carried constantly, especially in an exciting new place. They want to run and explore and exercise their little bodies and revel in curiosity. Why is this child who either truly is, or is just playing the part of, Lilibet being carried constantly?

2. This little girl isn’t clinging to “mom” as any normal little child would do to someone she knows and loves. This kid has placed her left arm across her own body to distance herself from Meghan, and to me actually looks like she might be crying or wiping away tears.

3. This little girl is so fair-skinned, and is bare-armed and bare-legged in the fierce unrelenting Costa Rican sun. Did “loving mother” Meghan put high quality sunscreen on the child? I know what I think…

4. The poor little thing needs sunglasses

5. Why isn’t the little girl wearing any shoes to protect against unknown jungle and beach creatures and/or painful - and hot - surfaces?

6. What woman who has significant experience carrying a little child in her arms would be wearing that ridiculous strapless thing she is wearing? The first time the kid squirms, the strapless outfit will fall down to her waist, exposing all she’s got to the paparazzi she hired. Oh wait, maybe that is her intent

Here is Girl with a Hat’s image link for those who missed it first time around:

@Fifi LaRue, I agree with both of your posts. Bingo!

You wrote “…Costa Rica is to cover for the fact they were not invited to some important celebrity gathering/event…”

I don’t know or care if they actually travelled to Central America, but you surely nailed the reason for their story line:

It was solely a face-saving move, since yet again they’ve been shunned and not invited to a high profile event that they think they should host or at which they expected to be the top VIP guests.
OCGal said…
@Hikari, I loved your most recent post, and am just as flummoxed as you are concerning the whole marriage/pregnancies/love story charade, and in particular wanted to give you a shout-out for your piquant phrase:

“pageant of deception”

Perfect description in three little words!
@Hikari asked why wasn't anything done about the pseudopregnancy-

My guess FWIW is that the hope was that they'd settle down, behave themselves and live appropriately as Royals so that in time the exact status of any Markle child was irrelevant - William would succeed Charles, followed by George. George, Charlotte and Louis would eventually have their own families and shove H and his offspring further and further down the LoS and away from the throne. (With Wm as king with 3 children and, say, 9 grandchildren. H would be 13th in line.

To have intervened when the majority of the people could see nothing wrong, accepting what the papers said as Gospel truth, would have stirred up a hornet's nest - you remember those days, when we were considered way out in our thinking - or even nuts or swivel-eyed loons?
Sandie said…
@OCGal
The questions you ask about the witch carrying the girl child resonate with me. The kid is now two and a half and must have been walking for well over a year. I suppose mummy dearest does not have the patience to let a toddler walk. And yes, the absence of a hat and shoes for the kid are most bizarre as the witch is wearing both herself, and she does not have the fair skin the kid has. And, yep, that strapless outfit is an accident waiting to happen!

* "called to check-in on one of the families most affected by the tragedy that occurred in Uvalde, Texas, in May 2022.

In a video showing a small portion of the phone call, Markle can be heard laughing while speaking with Irma Garcia's sister. Irma, 46, was one of the teachers killed while protecting her students during the mass shooting at Robb Elementary.

'How are they doing?,' Markle asks, in reference to Irma's children. 'They kind of asked to be left alone because it's Father's Day,' her sister replies, adding that she made contact with them via text but didn't intrude. The call took place on Father's Day.

The Garcia family tragedy made headlines worldwide in the aftermath of the massacre. Two days after Irma was shot dead by gunman Salvador Ramos, her husband, Joe, died following a heart attack."

How insensitive can she be? The children asked to be left alone and not only does she phone, but she phones on Father's Day. And of course there was no phone call to her own father that day. She really is the lowest of the lowest.

@Wild Boar

I totally agree with you re the alleged pregnancies and the BRF. If there was some skulduggery then they couldn't have known from the off and by the time they found out, it would have been extremely awkward to upset the apple cart. Maybe that's why they were banished from the UK.

@OCGal

I looked at the photo of * with Lilibet quickly and after reading your post. I looked again. I remembered that there was a photo of * carrying Archie from nursery, the child was the same age, 2½ years old. The article below with the photo is dated January 2022.
I'm not sure what this is meant to convey. Is she trying to show she's maternal? Protective? A child of that age is more than capable of walking. Also a 2½ year old boy weighs about 12-15 kg (26-33lbs), I know I couldn't carry that weight for very long.

snarkyatherbest said…
So the Harkles were in Costa Rica. I am with Fifi, no way did an immigration offical confirm they are in the country. A lot of celebrities have homes there because they are given privacy. I recall TheresaLongo Fans page on twitter mentioning about another celebrity, the paps are not out there taking pics its only when someone call specifically. Also knowing the wife, she probably talked really nice to someone's daughter do you want to ride in a cart with us? with parents in tow in the second golf cart.

As for the wife, sometimes i think she does this stuff to get attention and eyeballs but I also think she tries to send signals. Maybe she is trying to remind the BRF that there are kids involved (where they live who knows) and if Harry was pleading for money then remember there are kids who need to be supported. Yes she would use any kids as a way to garner more cash. Strange there was only one kid. Where was master prince Archie?

Whatever they are doing and whatever game they are playing I have to guess WME is not happy with it.

And while I am of the no kids camp, it is an interesting speculation that she somehow procured Harry's seed for an IVF treatment for a surrogate and that is why the BRF arent touching this. That they are his kids but not hers. I still wonder what the spin will be when this all needs explaining. No kid going to kindergarten or registered with a school district for home schooling in 2024 will bring up questions. Maybe i dont want to know that they have 1-2 kids permanently with them. The psychological impact of these, their behavior, the substances, all of it makes me really hope I am right about no kids.

As it was, I feel I was kind of doing my part by reading his book.

Another I thought this happened moment:

I thought that when they were first together, talking of marriage and then kids, there was a comment made about hoping to be the first royals to adopt and wouldn't it be wonderful.

I was thinking of that with the recent discussion about the kids, genetics and very long pregnancies.

The original post mentions ...'hopes of a good next year.Them?' It seems they're not caring too well, Archewell is low on donations and their year has been very lacklustre, to say the least. The DM has a recap of their year and the future looks bleak.

Sources quoted in US Weekly say the couple are hoping 2024 will be 'the year of redemption'. And there's no doubting next year is going to be crucial for the Sussexes and the future of their brand.

Nick Ede says the pair 'need to create a strategy as to who they are and what their purpose is'.

He added: 'In the larger scheme of things, they're just not that big in Hollywood where you've got the likes of the Kardashians and the Clooneys and Katy Perry.

'They haven't proven their worth. They haven't won Oscars or Emmys or written screenplays. They've not done anything to warrant the fame they think they deserve. That's the biggest problem here.'


The last paragraph says it all. The question is, where do they go from there?

This is an interesting end-of-the-year review from Chris Williamson that I am watching. The first and the third lessons reminded me so much if the duo, especially her.

Be yourself, basically because then the people who like you, like you for who you actually are. Pretending to be someone else so the people who don't like you will like you means that you 'miss out on' the people who would genuinely like you for who you are. My personal opinion is that there are a few people who see them, and especially her, for who she really is and like her (very few), but she cannot count on loyalty and support from most people because she never owns up to who she really is, and she cannot accept that there are people who just for not like her.

Toxic compassion is the third lesson and it perfectly describes the duo. Basically, they do not practice what they preach. They use causes as a bandwagon to get attention and not to make real and lasting change. Even the donations they give are virtue signalling and don't make a difference. Compare what a difference the Prince's Trust made, and how the Earthshot Prize and Early Years work will in the long run make a large and significant change to communities across the globe.

I have only started watching the video but there may be more that pertains to them!

The promised post about the witch and WME (comments are also interesting):

Unless KC3 and the grifters reconcile, they’re done.

The industry basically let Ari have first dibs on the pair, Ari and Co basically told the grifters (well, Meghan) they had to reconcile with the BRF for any kind of branding (or rebranding) to work.

It sounded like WME going to work for them is contingent on everyone reuniting.

I believe this is why Megs was spotted out walking about after the announcement that her kids were now Prince and Princess- she tried to MAKE it look like a reconciliation was on the horizon. Despite Spare having just been released a few months prior.

It’s also the reason why Megs stayed away from the book- she thought there was a good chance she could play peacemaker on the other side.

All of it makes perfect sense- from the KC3 bday invite “snub” to “we’d totally go to the UK for Christmas!” PR. When asked about the coronation: “She didn’t go because she’s an idiot that can’t handle anything”. (They doubled down they were both idiots who never took “one iota of advice from anyone”)

It also makes sense why the most powerful agency in the world can’t get her work, it’s because they aren’t actually doing anything UNTIL there’s a reconciliation.

Part of it as well is the politics of BAFTA, (the academy awards of the UK) Prince William president of BAFTA. If you’re pro Meg, your chances of getting into that world slims down exponentially. BAFTA is much too important for stars to throw away on a friendship with a known user and soho house yacht girl.

Ironically, due to Ari’s hold on Meghan, she can’t go anywhere else, she can’t go to a lesser agency, as that would insult Ari, and no other agency would even touch her since Ari is basically god in the business, so it’s a weird, ironic prison sentence.

Sandie said…
My opinion on that tea about Ari and WME: the only thing the duo have to offer that is financially lucrative is the royal connection. So, unless they reconcile and are publicly seen as part of the royal family again, there will be no big deals.

My tarot readings indicate that she is going to manage to get a financially lucrative deal next year, but it will not have longevity and she will end up sabotaging herself with her usual tricks.

she never owns up to who she really is

Perhaps but does she even know who she really is? When you lie constantly and pretend to be different people, taking on different personas, then you can't remember who you really are or are supposed to be. She's never genuine or 'authentic', to use one of her favourite words.

The story about her being the star of Bodyguard II have not gone away.
A very interesting question: If Archie Harrison (prince of Sussex) is not a child of this-one's-wife's own body and is possibly genetical child of this one and a white woman (remember Lili's blue, blue, blue eyes) how will the world react to all this hysterical "they asked if Archie is going to be TOO DARK!!!" They did not want to give him title and THE PROTECTION because he was possibly looking too african-american!!! I mean if this comes out some day.

She is so ridiculous. As a person whose skin is greyish-pink and is called a "white" woman I personally think that ANY added colour to Harry's ugly skin would be a vast improvement visually and genetically and aught to be celebrated.

Does the duchess HATE her own genetics even when it has improved her own Markle colouring?

Just asking.
Sandie said…
@Maneki Neko
I agree. She does not acknowledge to herself who she really is, but that 'true self' is not hidden from careful observors. We all see that she is lazy, entitled, has an over-inflated opinion of her abilities, is mean and bitchy but in an underhand way, is stuck in a teenage time warp in how she views the world, throws tantrums in private, loves spending money a lot but is clueless about actual quality ...
Sandie said…
In her delusion, who she thinks she is ... all revealed in the PR she puts out there: smartest person in the room, a self-made woman who created her own wealth, a successful Hollywood actress, a person who follows a healthy lifestyle (yoga, hinking, healthy eating), beautiful and adored by her husband (greatest love story ever), the best mom, immensely popular and successful and any 'failures' are the fault of others (like the royal family preventing her from getting brand deals and Hollywood award-winning roles), a model, a social and political activist with major global achievements ...

She is none of the above.

I wonder if her hapless husband still believes that BS about her. How stupid can he be?

Interesting comment from that Reddit thread about the tea from WME:

-----
I'm told her tantrums give three year olds a run for their money. I've heard and 100% believe that there's literal wordless screaming, yelling, crying-- oh so much crying-- and blame flung on everyone except herself. She falls on the floor, stamps her feet and bangs on furniture with her arms. It's something you can't believe you're seeing from an adult. Some Netflix crew who followed them for the crockuseries said she does all of this and she is violent toward Harry. She's allegedly hit, pushed, and bit him. He's got a bad temper himself so is she's been violent towards him, I've not heard whether he's violent back, though it wouldn't surprise me. However those Netflix crew members said that his MO was to cower, to ask if he's not good enough for her anymore, etc
-----
Ive heard from an executive producer of one of the major companies... one which declared they didnt need Meghan:

Yes the deal is transactional.

But not that it was transactional that they expected her to reconcile with the family. That's not going to happen.

They have said they didn't realize how hard she is to work with.

She's getting dropped by March.

The squatting thing with her legs together in a rather advanced state of pregnancy did it for me. (Well, that and pregnant bellies do not wobble like jelly. They're solid.) With my first pregnancy, I was an extremely fit member in the military, I had the hyperemesis problem and didn't get up to my pre-pregnancy weight until childbirth, and I STILL couldn't squat like she did. I was thin but strong with actual muscle tone.

Simultaneously, I found it difficult to believe that anybody not locked away somewhere could be crazy enough to pull a con like that that would ultimately be discovered.

So here I am, holding two diametrically opposing views simultaneously: She was never pregnant in her photos in England. It would be batsh*t crazy for somebody to introduce two pretenders to the line of succession, no matter how remote.
Maneki Neko said…
@Sandie

Re *'s tantrums and treatment of 'this one', 'those Netflix crew members said that his MO was to cower, to ask if he's not good enough for her anymore, etc'. If so, she has totally emasculated him, he has no self esteem, no self confidence. What a healthy environment in which to bring up children! - assuming there are any with them. I suppose if the children incur her displeasure, she reacts in a similar manner?

Ian's Girl said…
I've always been Team Kids, partly because I can't fathom anyone thinking they could get away with faking a child, and partly because there is no way in Hades that grifters like Doria and Rachel would pass up a garunteed meal ticket from the most prestigious family in the world. It's certainly possible that she faked both pregnancies, even to Hazmat, but I do think the kids are real.

I haven't seen all the moonbump type videos, because although I've always loved the BRF, I was late to this game; I just felt like they were an odd couple and went looking online to see if anyone else felt the same. And boy did I discover I was not alone!

I think Harry is the one who is keeping the kids from being seen. I think his press paranoia is probably real, and I bet it's a huge source of tension between them.

I don't understand why WME took her on atcalk; there would have been stories galore from Sunshine Sachs, and I just don't think they have enough money to have made the pill sweet enough to swallow. My tin foil hat thinks there were plans afoot that far transcend Hollywood, especially given all the talk about a political position she wanted. That struck me as so bizarre, even for her. But isn't Rahm Emannuelle Ari's brother? Rahm is deep in to American politics, very connected to the Obamas and Clintons. Was Obamas chief of staff, I think? At first, anyway. Or maybe his campaign manager. Anyway, close ties to them. I know the Obama have ghosted her now, but who knows what may have been initially planned? With an eye towards tak8ng down the Monarchy, even. I did mention my tin foil hat, didn't I?

2024 tarot reading for her:

Key: Tower
Path: Empress
Up ahead: 10 Disks
End up: Devil
Surrounds/environment: 7 Wands
Secret: 6 Disks
Clues/more information: 4 of Cups; 6 of Cups

Affecting everything is the Tower, which represents ambitions, courage, all your plans and what you build. But it is a collapsing tower struck by lightning, so it portends quarrels, combat, danger, ruin, destruction of plans. It can mean sudden death. Spiritually it means an opportunity to escape from a prison of your own making (what is false comes tumbling down but after being struck by lightning so the collapse is sudden and catastrophic and unavoidable).

The path she walks, the choices she makes are going to be 'inspired' by her vision of herself as having a life of love, beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, fruitfulness, great fortune, graciousness, elegance, gentleness.

She is going to have sucess in terms of material prosperity and riches. But there is a finality about it because there is nothing beyond this success. She will get her big payout but unless she devotes herself to creativity, there will be nothing beyond it. 10 Disk also symbolizes old age, when you live well on the wealth you have accumulated, so this could mean she lives well on what she 'stole' from the monarchy and the payouts from Netflix and Spotify.

She is going to end up sabotaging herself because the Devil represents blind impulse, an irresistibly strong and unscrupulous person, ambition, temptation, obsession, a secret plan being about to be executed. It can also represent hard work, endurance but with aching discontent, materialism, fate.

The 7 of Wands indicates it is going to be a difficult year. Her energy feels at last gasp, she struggles. She will face obstacles and difficulties, and keep trying to overcome them. Possibly victory, but in small things.

Secret perhaps here means what is truly driving her. Success and gain in material things, power, influence, nobility (secretly she loves being royal), philanthropy (she really believes that she is a great philanthropist), a somewhat dreamy and transistory situation (her delusions).

Clues: emotionally, it will be an up and down year. Well-being and easy harmony, happiness, great s*x. But weakness in emotions, abandonment to desire, pleasure mixed with anxiety, sense of injustice, and overall the seeds of decay in the fruits of pleasure (an affair I wonder?).

I might have misinterpreted the two disks cards when I initially looked at the reading for her. It could mean that she continues to live well on the wealth she accumulated from the marriage, rather than indicating a new, successful project.
Sandie said…
2024 tarot reading for him (hmmm):

Path: 8 Swords
Ahead: 8 Cups
End up: The Magus
Surrounding: Queen Wands
Secret: The Chariot
Overall: 4 Cups
Influences: Lust and Ace of Disks

8 Swords (mind) means waste of energy in details causing neglect of more inportant things, lack of persistence, sheer unforeseen bad luck, restrictions, great care in small things counterbalanced by equal disorder in other things. So, he is not starting off on a good path, but 'more of the same'.

8 Cups (heart) is grim fir what is ahead: abandoned success, decline of interest in anything, temporary success but without further result, instability, misery and repining, journeying from place to place, may mean leaving material success for something higher. (Lots of solo trips?)

The Magus indicates he may experience some kind of transformation because he is going to end up with skill, adroitness, elasticity. But it also means craft, cunning, deceit, theft, sometimes occult wisdom or power, and also messages and business transactions.

Queen of Wands is her dominating his environment. Here is the good and bad: adaptable, persistent, calm authority (her public face) great power to attract, generous, impatient of opposition, stupid, obstinant, revengeful, domineering, quick to take offence without good cause.

Secret (hidden from him): he wants to steer his own path and achieve victory and triumph. He is filled with hope, but he is obedient and faithful (follow the rules, which he is not aware of about himself). He can achieve health and success, but he operates his authority under authority (the royal family, the army, her).

Main influence of the year is 4 of cups which also is in her reading. For him this could be substance abuse, but in abandoning themselves to pleasure and desire, decay has set in, perhaps in terms of apathy in their relationship.

Two influences for him are Lust and Ace of Disks. Lust is about trying to control or tame feelings, desires, energy. It is about finding courage, strength and energy to control the life force, but can also indicate magical power, resort to magic, a great love affair. (Like the Chariot, it seems to indicate having control of his life.) He is going to plant the seeds to build material wealth and well-being,and the power and contentment it will bring him. So he is going to be trying to get ideas off the ground to build wealth.

Tarot reading for their marriage in 2024 (complex reading but not looking good):

Path: Moon
Deception, illusion, bewilderment, hysteria, madness, dreaminess,falsehood, voluntary change, brink of important change (interesting ... things are not what they seem)

Ahead: 8 Wands
Lots of swift communication (letters, messages), things happening very quickly. Too much force applied too suddenly; flash in the pan(?).

End up: Universe
Difficult card to read here, but questions that come to mind are 'what is the marriage?', 'will it survive?, 'will it end?'. Clue in the next card?

Surrounding: 2 Swords
The 'environment' of the marriage is contradictory characteristics in its nature, sacrifice and trouble giving birth to strength, quarrel made up and peace restored but with tension remaining, pleasure afte pain, truth and untruth, indecision, actions sometimes selfish and sometimes unselfish. (So I see huge problems in the marriage but not a split.)

Secret: Queen Swords
Is this another woman? She is graceful, perceptive, a keen observor and subtle interpreter, and intensely individualistic, confident, gracious and just. (Reminds me of Catherine). Can also be cruel, sly, deceitful and unreliable, and being superficially attractive makes her more dangerous (the wife?). Is there going to be some kind of confrontation between Carherine and the wife or is he torn between the two women?

Main theme: Art
Combination of forces. Realization. Action based on accurate calculation. Economy (LOL!). Management. Success after elaborate manoeuvres. The way of escape? It is essentially about manifesting through alchemy. Is he going to resort to magic? That theme is in a few of the cards! Is he going to make run for it, or just spend more time 'in Africa'?

Influences: 5 Cups and The Fool
Emotionally, the end of pleasure, disturbance when least expected, misfortune, disappointment in love, unkindness from friends (is someone going to 'spill the beans'?), loss of friendship treachery, ill will, sadness, vain regret. But I think the Fool indicates that they are going to try to stick together ... spiritually: ideas, thoughts, that which tries to transcend earth; materially: folly, eccentricity, mania. Overall suggests impulsivity that is strange and unexpected, but also blindly continuing without looking out for danger.

I think the marriage is in trouble and it is going to become apparant next year.

IIRC, there was a story about security being called because * was roaming Royal grounds very late at night acting deranged. I don’t remember the details although the story was probably suppressed by BP. Would love to know the details about that incident. There are certainly numerous crazy, dangerous incidents involving * that occurred which have shaped how the Royal Family deals with her and the public will never know. They both also use illegal substances which would be difficult to keep secret within the palace complex.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and seasons greetings.
I am very grateful for my family, friends and good health.

This passage in the Witchell story caught my eye:

Mr Witchell also made headlines when he announced the birth of Harry and Meghan's baby Prince Archie in May 2019.
During a live broadcast outside Buckingham Palace, the journalist completely lost his train of thought and handed back to the studio, raising fears online over his health. He suggested that he subconsciously may have switched off because it was about the Sussexes.

Wasn’t the rumor that he was nonplussed because of the surrogacy issue?

The video starts as Rishi finds himself alone at 10 Downing Street on Christmas. He plays bowls with some Coke cans, cuddles Larry, the official Downing Street cat, eats breakfast while watching "Elf" on TV.

Then the phone rings. He picks it up and says:

"Err ... Number Ten Press Office? .....

Interesting ... a celebrity tarot reading for the duo. The reader is really 'creating' meanings for cards to get something positive. The Tower comes up for her, and it is a real stretch to interpret it as a positive and happy card! 10 of Cups for him (a d her): this card is about a happy and stable family that you have built, so they will be inward focused (we may see more of the children). There seems to be some confusion about the Art card (for him). It is usually a positive card, but it means the alchemical process of manifestation. I suppose the process of manifestation could be seen as a positive process, but it indicates to me that he is really going to put all his effort into trying to get that life they wanted (she wanted) when they left ... by sheer will and effort and perhaps trying new things! For her, the Tower card is what I get my readings as well, and it is not a positive card in that it literally is this tower you have built being struck by lightning and it all comes tumbling down. I think I also got the Strength card for her but in my deck it is called Lust. It is about using courage and strength to control the life force, 'tame the beast'. But it can indicate using magical power or even a great love affair!

From the Telegraph:

How Mike Tindall became the brother Prince William needs

Their backgrounds are strikingly different, but the two share an affectionate relationship that abandons all formality

One was raised in West Yorkshire, the son of a social worker mother and banker father. A self-confessed binge drinker, he eschewed university for a sporting career and once knocked back a concoction of blended pig’s genitalia on reality television.

The other is the firstborn son of the King, who split his childhood between a palace in London and a country estate in Gloucestershire. Eton-educated, he went on to study at the University of St Andrews, is apparently not cut out for heavy drinking – and is yet to appear on an ITV gross-out show.

Yet despite the contrasting backgrounds of Mike Tindall and the Prince of Wales, they appear to share a warm and brotherly friendship. Yesterday, we caught another glimpse of the part Tindall so effortlessly plays in the story of the modern Royals.

The 45-year-old husband of Prince William’s cousin Zara threw an affectionate arm around Prince William’s son George when the Royals greeted well-wishers at Sandringham on Christmas Day. Abandoning formality, Tindall once again resembled the jolly uncle at a family do, who can be relied upon to liven up proceedings.

In the absence of Prince William’s actual brother, the California-dwelling Duke of Sussex, the former England rugby star has, to some extent, come to fill the void; to allow the heir to the throne to truly relax and to be someone he can confide in.

Judging by the small details he has drip-fed us, largely via podcasts, about his relationship with the Wales’, a fond, teasing dynamic is shared between the couples.

Appearing last week on a podcast hosted by former rugby professional Rob Burrow, Tindall revealed the laddish nickname he has for Prince William. “The Prince of Wales is known to me as One Pint Willy because he’s not the best of drinkers,” he said, before adding: “Oh my God. It’s out there now. Sorry, Sir.”

An ironic “Sir” presumably, since he also once greeted the heir to the throne by shouting “How’s it going, baldy?” across the room, at his own 27th birthday bash in 2005.

The regal response from Britain’s future king: “What’s it to you, fatty?”

Such exchanges imply that when it comes to the rapport between the two fathers-of-three, deference and obeisance are dropped in favour of fraternal banter.

Cheeky, frank, down-to-earth – in the most literal way imaginable during his appearance on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! last year – Tindall is arguably reminiscent of the once playful, teasing brother Prince William was formerly close to.

Royal commentator Dickie Arbiter, a former Palace press secretary, believes the amicable relationship between Prince William and Tindall owes much to their similar personalities.

“Mike is a pretty straight guy,” he says. “He’s down to earth, and William is too. Put aside [William’s] role in state occasions, where he has to maintain a certain decorum; the rest of the time, if he goes to a rugby or football match he’s in there cheering with the rest of the fans.”

Both Prince William and Tindall are “likeable guys”, and Zara’s longstanding closeness to her cousin has “rubbed off” on her husband, he says. “We’ve seen [this] time and again in William and Mike’s interactions. They are a proper family. They’re not playing at it.”
Tindall, he adds, is a “family guy”, as evidenced by his easy interaction with Prince George yesterday. At Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year, Tindall again showed his playful side when he made an “I’m watching you” gesture to Prince Louis.

On Tindall’s bond with Louis’s father, Arbiter says: “They are two peas from the same pod, they’ve just had different upbringings.”

Tindall’s teasing affection evidently extends to the Princess of Wales, too. On his own podcast, The Good, The Bad and The Rugby, the sportsman revealed last year that he had hoped to rib her after she joined a session on the pitch at Twickenham with England rugby players. When he learned she had been “pretty good,” he sighed in mock frustration.

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty magazine, suggests Tindall’s appeal to Prince William lies in his embodiment of the kind of fun the heir to the throne can no longer indulge in.

“Mike Tindall has that kind of sportsman camaraderie that would especially appeal to William, who was once a wild boy himself,” she says. “Mike gets funnier under the influence of alcohol and can be totally outrageous. William cannot do this anymore as he is too aware of his responsibilities. But he can live vicariously through Mike.”

Meanwhile, according to Telegraph Royal editor Hannah Furness, the two men do indeed share a “brotherly relationship”. She says: “[Tindall] has somehow managed to find the line between being fairly indiscreet but so charming with it that nobody minds in the slightest. Even his high-risk turns on reality TV have ended up an asset to the royals: if he likes them, the public senses, they must be all right.”

I remember photos of Mike Tindall at Ascot with his top hat and morning suit.

He removed his top hat and there was a mini top hat sitting on his bald pate.

The Queen, for whom he had tipped his hat, burst into laughter.

I think the mini top hat was some sort of party favour that some group were handing out.

Of course Sunak was not overtly taking aim at the King's son. The King is head of state. But is he that thick that he would not foresee how it would play out? And, as @Opus points out, there were lots of clues to lead people down that path. But Sunak can meet with the head of state and claim plausible deniability! Menwhile, peole on social media keep having fun with it.

Hi all hope you all had a merry christmas and are chilling til the new year.

Loved the church walk. Fergie reminded us all why she was banned for so many years. The kids all looked confident and happy and had fun with each other. Priceless. As for the monsters of Monticito - well if they showed their "progeny" now people would be so uninterested. We want more Tindalls and Wales. the church walk no doubt was keenly watched by whatever advisors they have left who will continue to questions you left these lovely people why? good living is the best revenge (oh and good hair too!)



Just back from Christmas in York - the music at Midnight Mass in the Minster was sublime. The `setting' used was Mozart's Spatzenmesse in C Minor K220 - @Opus would surely approve of this being sung as part of the liturgy. Profoundly moving.

Hope to catch up soon - I thought the lighting of the King's address could have been better.

Do look out for the film about the Bank of Dave: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14308636/

It's a cracker and based on a true story. Netflix has a winner here, at relatively low cost - how different, how very different, from the home life of our least-favourite philanthropists.

The Harkles could learn a lot from it, if onLy they were capable of learning.

SMM post makes the point that there's something very fishy about unattributed donations from the UK (mainly from one dubious entity) and also about the destination of grants made by Archewell - apparently to political and activist pockets.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/18sinki/allegation_that_two_million_dollar_donations_to/

All allegations of course. I quote -

`A source (a retired HMRC auditor) has informed me that the provenance of the above donors leads back to a person and their entities in the UK. They also say there concerns over the types of organisations that grants are being awarded to, with the bulk being political or activist in nature. That could be construed as political and funding interference in the US, and the source stated that under the 501c Foundation rules that Archewell should be decommissioned.'

All of this is in BOLD.

Some sinners do have an alternative view.

I certainly would. Is it that I have mentioned before at this blog attending St Paul's when the sixth Schubert Mass was played as part of the service? Revelatory - but so much so that I can no longer listen to such pieces as if they are concert works (which they are not).
@Opus - yes, you did say that you felt that such pieces should only be sung in a liturgical setting, or wtte. I recall mentally agreeing with you. The combination of the Mozart and the architecture was awe-inspiring. We'd started queuing early so were near the front - hence it was 1am before we left the Minster, a `full house' I think.!

The above post (November) is a long one about her failures and her desperation.

This is from the December post (guess the celebrity):

This desperate wanna-be A-lister is taking too long to jump on the opportunity to build her brand. She keeps taking PR moves that are setting her backward and leaving her with no other image but her tarnished one.

She desperately wants to be at the Academy Awards up on stage getting praise but knows her dreams of being an actress are very close to being done. So she is thinking of a different way to be up on stage getting praise, and that is being a Hollywood producer. With her luck and reputation, it won’t work out, but let it be known that if she finds a way to capitalize on her brand and has a salary of 20-50 million, then it’s bye-bye hubby.

Althorp is in Norfolk, so hardly a convenient base for them to use in the UK.

Hapless is offered accommodation in royal establishments when he visits, if he gives plenty of notice. That accommodation is free, and comes with security while he is on the property. The reason given in the article for this not being suitable for him is that he doesn't like to plan in advance.

I wonder if this nonsense originates from them or if someone unconnected to them simply made it up.

SwampWoman said…
@Wild Boar Battle-maid: Absolutely. Different commanders/leaders/managers have different personalities, backgrounds, and different styles and there isn't anything wrong with that. The press is trying to create a conflict where none exists.

My husband and I have different ways of doing things because we look at problems differently and we solve them differently. It doesn't mean that either one of us is absolutely right or wrong. We have different backgrounds. Our brains work differently. For moving things, he looks at solutions based on using his massive strength. I look for strength multipliers.

Husband looks at a problem and knows how it is "supposed to be" solved and can get caught up in "This Is the Way It is Supposed to Be!" as though it is Holy Writ (grin). Maybe it is Holy Writ in the man book. I look at a problem and say "Well, we can't do it that way so how about this way?" So, husband's way is 100% correct and to code; my way is faster and will work until we can get the parts to repair it to husband's satisfaction.

Sometimes having too much experience can make you rather inflexible in your approach. My brother's heating element went out in HIS oven on Christmas (mine went out right before Thanksgiving.) To prevent a Thanksgiving debacle, husband got a used element from a second-hand appliance store to fix it immediately as well as ordering a spare to have on hand (which would arrive a week after Thanksgiving).

Brother finished his ham by using a propane torch and turning the ham constantly over the course of an hour. I would have *never* come up with that idea. Never. (I would have put it on the grill, or sliced it up and fried it, but never would have thought to use a torch to finish heating the ham and melting the glaze.) I couldn't think outside the cooking box because I was fixated on the way things are *supposed* to be.
Sorry Sandie, Althorp is in Northamptonshire, roughly 70 miles NNW of London, near the M1 motorway, so reasonably close the Great Wen (see Google Earth) so it's closer to the GW than anywhere in Norfolk.

To get an idea of size & position of Norfolk, imagine a line going due south of Kings Lynn, more or less on the Wash & v.close to Sandringham, and imagine another going due west of Lowestoft (the most easterly point in England). The area thus enclosed is more or less Norfolk.

They’ve had a horrible year! They’ve been humiliated!

They’ve been ghosted by both the Obamas and the Clooneys and Meghan doesn’t know why! MEGHAN IS “INSULTED” by this!

Meghan also thinks the BRF is “clinking their glasses & laughing their heads off 6000 miles away!”

“They’ve had people they thought were their friends TOTALLY GHOST THEM!”

“She can’t understand what they have done to deserve this harsh treatment, except for sticking up for themselves!”

The above is classic projection from a toxic narc. She believes the royal family are delighted at her isolation because she would be delighted at their misfortune. She believes the Obamas and Clooneys have ghosted her because that is what she does to others. In reality, the 'friendship' with the Clooneys was over ages ago and there never was a friendship with the Obamas.

And why did she think the whinethon mockumentary would make them stars? The reason it got so many views was not because of its quality but because of its gossip value. Since she does not acknowledge how stupid, trashy and nasty she actually is, she cannot cash in on her strengths ... and make a bitchy, trashy reality show.

You're absolutely right re * and her narcissistic projections. And remember, nothing is ever their fault. The Obama's and Clooneys have ghosted her, they don't understand or appreciate her, nothing to do with her, of course. Same for the BRF, they're racist and jealous etc. Sadly, she's a lost cause.

Norfolk is not that close to London, it's a good 3 hours by car. I once drove from London to somewhere north of Norwich and it took me about 3½ hours so although it's not as far as Yorkshire or Scotland, it's still a good drive by UK standards (not by American or Australian standards, of course). Althorp is a good bit closer.

Brilliant! Jessica could find ways to 'tell the truth' and I am really hoping she would.

@WBBM
Fergie has not joined the royals for Christmas before now because she is divorced from Andrew. Although she lives at Royal Lodge, it is a big place and she has her own apartment. Charles has known her for a long time and is probably just more kind-hearted than the late Queen. Fergie now has grandchildren and it seems unkind to not include her at Christmas. I do not see this as a sign of reconciliation for the dastardly duo. Remember it was the Duke of Edinburgh who 'shut her out' after pictures were published of some guy sucking her toes while they were lying by the pool, with young daughters frolicking in the pool (at a time when she was still technically married). She was with the royal family, at Balmoral I think, when those photos were published. After the scandals of Charles and Diana (interviews and hacked compromising phone calls), Charles is unlikely to hold a grudge against her for those photos, and Fergie knows how to behave with the royal family and is familiar with royal Christmases. I don't think anyone in the royal family actually likes the wife (except maybe perhaps Eugenie and Jack), and nor do they like the person hapless has become, and the children are foreign aliens. So many people are latching in to the birthday phone calls (that may or may not have happened) as something significant, but they really are not a big deal. Has hapless visited his father (or any other family) for tea or dinner when he was in London? Has hapless brought his children to the UK to spend time with his family? Nope. I doubt that Charles or William have seen the children since the duo fled.

@Alianor,

My father fought in a very big war, and was recognized as a valiant soldier and officer, so much so that the French Foreign Legion tried to recruit him but he turned them down. He said that he saw enough killing for one lifetime.

Some of his friends suffered from post traumatic stress disorder for decades afterwards, and it was very sad to see grown men so helpless to their demons. He took good care of them, saw them often and included them in our family's activities.

One thing my father never did was to talk about the war, or boast about it. Everything we learned about his service was from third parties. He also took the opportunity to befriend people from the so called enemy country whenever he crossed them in life, and even made one of them his business partner. There was no ill will from either person.

That is how a true soldier behaves.

Up until this point, when the topic has been inked, it was always something about how the BRF are shaking in their boots, it will be her turn to show the world how things really went down, reality in her own words and not a whisper of this might not be a good idea on any level.

Yes you are right, that is exactly how true soldiers behave and for that they have our deep respect.

He tried to get a summary judgment for the case, claiming that his case was so strong, he did not have to go to trial. The judge said no, and he had to pay DM's costs for opposing the bid for a summary judgment, plus his own. Surely if he negotiates to settle the case he will end up having to pay all his own legal costs, and wouldn't DM want some kind of 'win'?

Some brilliant comments here about why losing their connection to the royal family has been their undoing. I would add that their problem is that being royal is all they have going for them, and without the protection and guidance provided by being in the royal family, they have been exposed as the lazy, talentless, arrogant, stupid grifters they are.

The article is one of numerous claiming that the duo are going to reconcile with Charles but that William is not interested. Is a private visit with the king at Balmoral enough to give them back some royal magic and manifest some lucrative contracts for them? My tarot readings say that in 2024 he is going to try hard to earn big bucks for her and that she will have some sort of success with a project but it will not be a lasting success and she will sabotage herself.

A couple of the comment for the post explain just why they cannot be trusted. As I say, it is not what they have done that cannot be forgiven, it is who they are that cannot be trusted.

Sandie said…
From a SMM post, a summary of the supposed intense hold she had in him from day 1:

1- Narcs convey the message that they are open to all sexual kinks however over time sex becomes formulaic because narcs are never really involved during sex, they are simply performing a role

2 - Narcs are polarizing - some people react to them with disgust, others are utterly entranced

3 - Because they create chaos and confusion people who like high risk among other things are very attracted to them. They sense narcs are dangerous and that is a turn on

4 - Narcs appear to be highly confident and this attracts people who have certain traits such as co-dependency among other things (which he discusses in more detail) . Their confidence makes their partners who have never felt confident themselves to feel supremely confident and sexy. Furthermore their self-confidence is associated with parental authority and this sparks a regression in the partner. The partner feels that the narc is like a parent who will take care of them.

I remember a YouTuber, called Yvonne I think, who is supposedly psychic and was making videos from a very early stage. I stopped watching her years ago because it got very repetitive. She kept going on about the wife using mind-blowing s*x to trap the ginger prince. I don't think it is the whole story but I can see how the wife used it to create the illusion of intimacy, great love and how fabulous she is. Her goal was always control, domination, fame and billions. What I do wonder is if she actually fooled herself into thinking she was in love as well. HG Tudor insists that she is not aware that she is a toxic malignant narc and thus she believes her own narrative. I suppose since she goes not know what love actually is, she could have believed that the excitement of nabbing a wealthy and popular and famous prince, and suddenly becoming famous herself and actually sometimes having paps photographing her without always having to call them, was easily mistaken for love by her.

A series of reviews of The Housekeeper's Diary by Wendy Berry. She was the housekeeper at Highgrove when the boys were still young and Charles and Diana were still married. It debunks a lot of stories, but also gives amazing insight into Diana and her behaviour. If the wife throws tantrums and is self-obsessed, especially around photographs published of her, then she reminds him of his mother.

She lost her HRH; they were not stripped of their HRH but simply may not use it. Perhaps the King should clarify the matter, treat them the same as Sarah and actually strip them of HRH! (Narcs hate being ignored. Keep up the greyrocking Charles and William!)

Meghan Markle reportedly "wants answers" from King Charles about use of her royal title an expert has claimed.

Royal commentator Neil Sean has made claims that both Meghan and Prince Harry "don't understand why" they have been subjected to different rules to other members of the Royal Family despite stepping away from their official duties nearly four years ago. The couple's bid to also become financially independent from the Royals saw them sign multimillion-dollar contracts with Netflix and Spotify.

But now according to Neil, Meghan has questions she wants the King to answer and has allegedly even tried to arrange a meeting with him to discuss key issues she has found prominent since she joined the family. Speaking on his YouTube channel he said: " Meghan Markle wants some answers from His Majesty the King. She tried to set up a meeting with him, she sent him a letter and wanted a one to one to explain exactly the problems she's encountered ever since becoming a member of the British monarchy."

He continued: "The thing that really riles Meghan is that Fergie pops up on things like the ITV daytime show This Morning, Loose Women and billing herself as the Duchess of York, selling books and possibly doing adverts all under the Royal Family. Meghan and Harry seemingly don't understand why it's a different rule for her."

Thanks for the link to the Housekeeper's Diary - I've just watched the first one with gt interest. I've always felt that Diana maligned Charles in that interview and believe that the general opinion of Charles being weak and indecisive is based on nothing more than her false allegations.

It was wicked to slag him off publicly. To attack him in that way was, furthermore an indirect attack on the boys, as they were, so-to speak, biologically `half Charles'.

Sure, there are links with Epstein, via Sara Latham and the Clintons via John Fitzpatrick. But what the court is releasing is the names of witnesses for some court case so it will contain names of 'victims'. I am not sure if their witness statements will also be released and which court case it is. The wife was linked to people with links to Epstein but had no direct link herself (too old for Epstein).

Unbelievable. She thinks HM the King is answerable to her. He's the Lion, she's the Witch but where's the wardrobe, 'cos I'd like to lock her in it - permanently.

@WBBM,

I've always heard told that if you love your children, you will never belittle their other parent (father or mother). I guess Saint Diana's vengeance was more important to her than her children.

If M “wants answers”, then the grey rocking is working. What she’s looking for is a source of fuel that she can twist to her advantage in her warped view of life.
@GWAH

That's a good way of putting it.

Supposedly one of the leaders of the Sussex Squad, who has the biggest account,has suddenly left X with no explanation. The comments at the above thread are informative for those who like me, know very little about the SS.

"She had built a huge name and was basically the leader of the Sussex squad ever since the Sussex Squad Podcast girls started to fade out a few years ago. Apparently she's the originator of some of the nastiest hashtags against the Waleses. So much hate came from her account and she has shaped a lot of the narrative for Meghan and Harry supporters over the last two years especially. Her deleting her account is a huge blow for the sugars that shouldn't be underestimated."

Is 2024 the year she she revives The Tig, which is exactly where she was when she trapped a prince? She will get more followers than before, and more meeching deals, but it is a long way from the Dior ambassador role she wanted and all the other things she tried to manifest and failed. She actually only has to employ one person to run the blog for her (write daily posts and add selfies taken by the wife, get merching deals), but that woman is such high maintenance she will probably employ three people.

Hard to believe * requires an audience with the King! Does she think she can just click her fingers and he'll pick up the phone? As if he didn't have anything better to do. I think she believes This One is too weak and won't be able to get anything out of his father, which is why she wants to deal with Charles herself. Good luck with that.
Didn't she also ask to speak to Charles/ see him a year or two ago? Does she think Charles really want to talk to her, never mind discuss any issues? I hope his office has strict instructions not to answer her calls/pass on a y message

Skank was demanding a meeting with KCIII during the time of QEII's funeral.

I don't follow any of the sugar squad comments, but I'm wondering if the main leader was Mrs. Loser herself. Would she have to pay for that platform? Rumors are that The Losers will file bankruptcy this year.

Each year, at best, about 10% of predictions can be said to be accurate, but it is such fun to scroll through the list!

How long has * been trying to revive the Tig? Is this another of her projects that she talks about/makes sure is mentioned but then once again, nothing materialises? She's all talk, no action.
Sandie said…
@Maneki Neko
Yep, I think we can all predict the problems with her reviving The Tig. But she applied for copyright of the name for a long list of things and it seems that she got the green light.

Personally, I think the world is heading for major conflict and change and she is basically too late for Kardashian or Paltrow success.

thank you for putting together that list of predictions.

Sandie - i am perfectly fine if fergie is stripped of her titles (then again maybe some of the dos and donts are part of an operating agreement from the divorce) so the witch cant use hers. Then again, perhaps she wants to know as a hopefully soon to be newly divorced member of the family.

So harkles are getting boring. Hope the Tig is revived - nothing like a social media site whose name no one understands that sounds like tick (yeah she seems like one buried under the skin causing all sorts of havoc) and sports leady oat milk lattes as its first sponsor.

Currently I am really intrigued by the Denmark Monarchy. Why did Queen Margrethe abdicate now. Was she concerned Mary was ready to bolt and figures a king has more to do than a crown prince. At least we will have some tiara events.

Thats all I have - waiting for the PR blitz in January to see what it brings. We could play parking lot bingo - where, what outfit and how many security guards (not including the one at the AMC theater - ha!)
Sandie said…
@snarkyarherbest
Fergie is still a duchess, but not an HRH. Diana also lost her HRH, by choice. The harkles still have all their titles and their HRH, but they may not use the HRH. The problem is that Beatrice and Eugenie are HRH, and they use it. The children of Anne and Edward do not have HRH because their parents declined. Edward and Sophie actually requested that the children be allowed to choose for themselves when they reach the age if 18 ... Louise has chosen not to take the HRH. Like Andrew and Sarah, the harkles made a grab for the titles and HRH for their children after the Queen died. It is most unbecoming of them because they do not live in the UK, or the British realm, and the parents do not represent the monarchy in any official way whatsoever. The children do not even know their grandfather, the king, or their uncle, the future king, or their cousin, also a future king.

This is most interesting ... how much royal ladies spent on clothing in 2023. Beatrice and Eugenie managed to outspend the Montecito duchess, but she is nonetheless one of the big spenders.

Personally, I think the Danish prince with the Cuban socialite in Madrid was totally okay. They went to view an exhibition, and had lunch/drinks or something. It was out in the open. Madrid is a beautiful place to see art, lots of art, so many wonderful museums, so much good food and drink.

Time machine: an analysis of her speech to an event for a charity she was patron of (post birth of Archie, pre disastrous South African tour and Megxit). Her grandiose narcissism is so clear in this speech ... it is all about her and her great ideas and what she did. It is quite astonishing to watch.

There must never be a reconciliation with the royal family, because she can never change and will always be a huge problem.
I've just thought of something * could do to rebuild her image and refresh her opportunities - something that worked for Lady C and is tailor-made for ILBW.

She could go on `I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'. She wouldn't be voted out of the show until the very last moment as I'm sure viewers would want to see her suffer all he indignities and disgusting `bush-tucker trials'.

https://countesscuriosity.tumblr.com/

This account has lots of excerpts from books about the royals. We don't know how much is accurate. (Katie Nichols insists that Catherine changed universities to pursue William, but the dates just do not add up. At the time that Catherine made her final decision for St Andrews, not only was it not known that William would choose that university, but it was not even certain that he would be going to a university in Scotland. Nichols also insists that William and Catherine knew each other from socials at school, which is actually accusing them of lying about how they met at university, in an engagement interview.
Red flag: treat anything Nichols says about royals with a pinch of salt.)

One interesting bit is about Charles telling William that Diana had died. The account gives the exact time that Charles woke him up, that William had slept very fitfully the night before, and that William cried and Charles hugged him. How the heck could the author know this? But, remember hapless accused his father of not hugging him? I think hapless did not cry and visibly show signs of being upset and did not reciprocate when Charles made a move to give him a hug. Hapless has problems showing emotions for and about others but, like his wife, he cannot face this about himself so he projects onto others.

Another story is that a couple of days after Diana's death, William broke down and ran off and disappeared into the hills. It took them some time to find him. There are no stories of hapless being visibly bring upset at all.
Sandie said…
17 August 2000 it was announced that William would be going to St Andrews. Catherine had been accepted at Edinburgh, but at the beginning of the summer she changed her mind about accepting and decided to take a gap year. She spent the summer of that gap year working at a yacht basin (not yachting!) and supposedly it was then that she decided to go to St Andrews and applied, so she could have known that William would be going to St Andrews when she applied.

It gets interesting though ... Kinsey Schofield interviews a friend of hers who was at St Andrews at the same time as William and Catherine. She says Catherine is a genuinely nice person, and, especially at first, people would avoid being seen as 'harassing' William to the point that they would not queue behind him, and he must have felt quite lonely! The best bits are at the end, including that she actually lived in digs next to them after first year, but it was a while before she realized they were living there and then realized why there were extra police always in the street!

More nuggets from countess curiosity:
When Angela Levin was writing the book about hapless, someone close to him told her that when rumours surfaced about Hewitt being his father, Charles sat him down and assured him that not only was he absolutely sure he was his father, but Hewitt could not possibly be his father. Supposedly hapless just sat and said nothing and did not react at all. Is there something odd about hapless? Maybe the death of his mother and then taking drugs from an early age stunted/warped his emotional development.

Oh, and Lady C says when you come across 'a royal insider' or a royal source' or something like that in People magazine, the wife is the source.
Looking back over 2023, I'd like to remind Nutties of *'s demand that the sacred Coronation Ritual be interrupted for Archie's birthday to be acknowledged. In retrospect, it seems her ask was even more ludicrous than we thought at the time - did she want it fitted in just before or just after the King was anointed?

I was deeply moved that the 6thC book known as `St Augustine's Gospels' made an appearance, as it's believed to be a tangible link with the mission from Rome in the year 597 which brought Christianity to Saxon England. It puts * into her correct proportion.

The buzz is that her and WME are 'parting ways'. A rumour I have come across is that she had a huge fight with them because they could not get her a L'Oreal deal. Well, they have not been able to get her any deals, have they? The SussexSquad are sending out alerts to brace themselves for bad news.

However, I think the following comment has some merit:

"I’m choosing to believe what Enty said on a recent podcast. If WME dropped her we’d know about it before she left the building. They’d want to get the news out asap and in a way that doesn’t make her look like a victim."

Is This the REAL THING THIS TIME? or is this just stringing people along?

Recently there was (yet another) post somewhere out in the world about how they will soon divorce.  And my first thought was: Haven't I heard this before?  which moved quickly to: how many times have I heard this (through the years)? There were a number of questions raised which ... I don't know.  I'm not a lawyer.  One of the points which has been raised is that KC would somehow be shelling out beaucoup money to get her to go "away".  That he has all this money stashed away and can pull it out at a moment's notice.  But does he? He inherited a lot of "stuff" from his mother but ... isn't it a lot of tangible stuff like properties? and with that staff to maintain it and insurance.  Inside said properties is art, antique furniture and other "old stuff" which may be valuable" but ... that kind of thing is subject to the whims and bank accounts of the rarified people who may be interested in it (which is not most of us in terms of bei

A Quiet Interlude

 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.  

Christmas is Coming

 The recent post which does mention that the information is speculative and the response got me thinking. It was the one about having them be present at Christmas but must produce the kids. Interesting thought, isn't it? Would they show?  What would we see?  Would there now be photos from the rota?   We often hear of just some rando meeting of rando strangers.  It's odd, isn't it that random strangers just happen to recognize her/them and they have a whole conversation.  Most recently it was from some stranger who raved in some video (link not supplied in the article) that they met and talked and listened to HW talk about her daughter.  There was the requisite comment about HW of how she is/was so kind).  If people are kind, does the world need strangers to tell us (are we that kind of stupid?) or can we come to that conclusion by seeing their kindness in action?  Service. They seem to always be talking about their kids, parenthood and yet, they never seem to have the kids
