Well that was not exactly a Quiet Interlude

 Seriously.  It was not.

Sudden trips, surprise awards, a cooking event, not much forward momentum in rebranding while elsewhere was profound loss, missed scheduled events and a few more warning shots over the bow about "truth" and be careful what you push for.

Perhaps, at least for a while, there will be some peaceful quiet before things ramp up for TOC.

I’m not suggesting that my proposed scenario is in any way plausible or adhering to reality. I am suggesting that it’s outlandish enough that TOW would dare trying to spin it that way. She’s already insisted during her toxic spill to O that she was a veritable prisoner of the Royal machine: under house arrest, deprived of keys, passport, money, watched constantly, etc. Royals have no need to carry keys, wallets and passports, and if such things are required staff will carry them. There is a possibility that Charles or TQ arranged some form of at-home rehab after one of the Douchess’s more alarming public escapades. She wasn’t under house arrest when she swanned off to “visit friends” in Toronto solo just weeks after her wedding. It is conjectured that she may have contracted the surrogate then.

I’ve got no idea what she was up to. Maybe she just needed more drugs. Maybe she wanted to rub Toronto’friends’ noses in the fact she was now “the Duchess”. But that was July-ish. Three months after *that* she Shanghai’d Eugenie’s wedding with her ‘news’. She’d been seen (allegedly) throwing back wine in the return flight from Canada, so presumably she herself had not been impregnated on the trip. Then came the Australia tour, which alternated photos of the still-newlyweds looking loved up with reports of tea throwing, screaming at staff and domestic fights behind closed doors with Hazza overhead demanding to know “if she was really pregnant.” Hazza seen later sitting alone outside head in hands. Was *that* the moment he’d been read in to the dastardly plan? Harry seemed relatively happy for the first 5 months of the marriage but after the Australia tour something changed in his attitude.

That’s the salient question, really— What did Hazza know going into the marriage, and when did he know the truth, or at least pertinent information? Has he been a willing participant in all of this, or not? That he’s complicit up to his beady eyes is a given because there’s no way she could have pulled off this con without his involvement and active participation in the deception—or else he’s too stupid to even be breathing. But—was he complicit from the very beginning, even pre-engagement, or did those revelations only surface after it was too late for him to back out? Has he been blackmailed for his miserable compliance or has he gleefully played his part as an epic FU to Granny, William, his father and the entire world?

It seems incredible that Harry’s new wife would have been permitted to make a transatlantic flight without a Royal protection detail…she’d have had to get permission to travel outside of the country from HMTQ and submit an itinerary even for a private visit. It seems incredible to me that a number of persons in officialdom, including
the security services, wouldn’t have known what she was up to… where she went, who she met with and etc. after all they were responsible for her safety and all RPOs work for the monarch, not for their protectees.

What the Palace officially knew about Madam’s activities and when exactly they knew it is a matter of intense interest. Maybe that is directly relevant to the extraordinary length and power of the super injunction, given that “Master Archie” is going to turn 6 in a month. (Allegedly)

The immature couple’s sniggering demeanor during the wedding vows when the Archbishop mentioned procreation of children made me suspect they were Up to Something. But H’s subsequent behavior casts doubt that he was completely aware. The couple probably talked theoretically about kids prior to getting engaged. Harry’s heirs would have minuscule to no constitutional relevance to the succession, but producing children swiftly after the wedding had always been Royal custom. It burnishes one’s legacy and status within the family. Not to mention most people desire children… and Madam was certainly not getting any younger. I’m sort of doubtful that a woman of nearly 37 years of age could so effortlessly conceive within weeks of her third wedding, given her propensity for numerous convenient “miscarriages” when trying to snag a man or otherwise garner attention for herself. We suspect she used the ploy to force an engagement from Hairball. To that I have to wonder…if it was imperative in 2017 that a Prince who knocked up his common yacht girl “do the right thing”…surely TQ would have given her blessing for a quiet and speedy private ceremony. If TOW was pregnant by Harry in September, being engaged until the following May would have not been helpful to the purpose…and she was demonstrably not pregnant at her wedding. But bam—then surprise! Up the duff again within 7,8 weeks of the wedding at her advanced age.




Hikari said…

If she engaged a surrogate in the summer of 2018, she was off the reservation, since such a pregnancy violated the rules of succession. The faux pregnancy was so very obviously a smugly transparent and inept piece of theatre I don’t think she ever intended to be discreet and realistic about it. It was blatant Duper’s Delight from start to finish.

Having to actually produce a living breathing growing child not of her body and not in her custody has been the fly in the ointment of her con. Sourcing live children is a whole lot harder than sourcing Moonbumps in varying sizes. When they moved to the States and lost easy access to their Archie actor, that fuel source dried up so she needed to debut another Moonbump show.

Without a parental bone in either of their bodies, the production of children was, in my cynical view, merely a means of global attention, a way to upstage the Cambridges and a ploy to bilk more money out of the Royal family. Neither has any interest in or aptitude for actual parenting, in my opinion. God help those bairns if they actually live in the custody of the Dumbartons.

When the Palace failed to pony up with the cash, photo shoots with her late Majesty and the instantaneous Prince and Princess titles for the spawn, I think TOW wouldn’t flinch at deploying the victim card again and is prepared to lodge counterclaims of deception and abuse of power against the RF should the Palace finally release the Kraken. She will double down and deny that the Palace didn’t know, and when they did find out, they advised her that the ruse had gone too far to “pretend to lose the baby” and pressed her to “give birth” for the optics and to boost Hazza’s popularity.

This is what I imagine TOW might attempt to pull, not what actually happened, mind you. It’s her victim narrative she hides behind after being confronted with any of her lies and inadequacies. Let’s just say it won’t surprise me if she tries to turn the tables when cornered about “the kids”.

Correction: Master Archie is going to be 5 on May 6th (Allegedly). Old enough for public kindergarten in California. Will we get “an update on the kids” before Archie has to start school?
Ian's Girl said…
I kind of see them taking a more aggressive approach, still crying racism; see how the first black prince isn't allowed to be in the LoS, the laws should be changed to accommodate the children of the first black DIL of a Monarch, blah, blah, blah.

I am also of the opinion that she may have deployed the prosthetic because she wanted to look more pregnant than she was at any given time. I find it suspicious that she got pregnant so quickly at her age, but she might have gone for IVF in Toronto.

I still lean towards surrogacy, but I thought she looked post partum when they introduced the baby. If it was, in fact, a baby.

There is no doubt in my mind that any baby has both of their DNA; she's too much of a grifter not to have secured that.

That CEO who didn't want to invite the one named singer has a history with the alliterate one and her husband. They have attended premieres together. He asked them to come, and they turned him down.

*&H were apparently at the CMT awards, although whether they were supposedly invited or else that was just her PR is a moot point. They were denied entry by the show host, being 'ushered away' by security personnel. Ouch!

Re the latest posts about * and her supposed pregnancy, here is a HG Tudor video where he discusses why * never mentioned/mentions her pregnancies. He starts halfway through at 8.03. Apologies if this has been mentioned before.

@Ian's Girl

As it happens, we have had a `black prince', or rather `the Black Prince' 1330 - 1376, son of Edward III, tho' no for reason of his complexion.

` The sobriquet ‘Black Prince’ does not appear in written records until the 16th century, nearly two centuries after his death, though as a nickname it may date back to his lifetime.

The origin of the term is just as obscure as the date it was first used. It may stem from Edward’s habit, when jousting, of putting aside his royal coat of arms in favour of a black ‘shield for peace’ decorated with three white ostrich feathers.'

https://www.historyextra.com/period/plantagenet/why-was-the-black-prince-called-black/

Joking apart, the supposed `Archie' seen in the Netflix still (regardless of who that lad really was) was a fair of face as any English Rose - very delicately pink-and-white. I'd expect them to ignore inconvenient details like that, should they then show us a child with Ragland features.
Sandie said…
@Maneki Neko
Thanks for the time stamp for the HG Tudor video.

I don't think the reason why she does not talk about pregnancy and birth is because it did not happen. Her differing accounts of the miscarriage show that she is quite capable of making up a dramatic story and changing details every time she tells it. She sought attention for that miscarriage.

Catherine has spoken about her pregnancy and her experience of being a mother for the first time. It is most odd that TBW has been so reticent.

What drives her? Domination, control, image, getting attention. Surely stories about pregnancy, giving birth and her first experiences of motherhood is something she can control, would boost the image of earth mother that she is trying to sell, and would get her a lot of attention?

I am flummoxed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

A pity, but I could only access the first page of this article, which seems to have some intriguing clues (it is about acute anxiety in a narcissist, that appeared in the 7th month of pregnancy):

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21674086.1958.11926100

It seems to be quite typical for a narcissist to have a baby very quickly to trap the partner in the marriage, and children can also be used to secure an income, among other things. But I still have not come across an explanation for why she has not regaled stories of pregnancy, birth and early parenting ad nauseum, as she does with other stories.

That recent photo of TBW holding a child on each arm, all backs to us. A five/six year old child cannot be held in one arm, while holding a two year old in the other arm, unless it's a six foot plus, 250 pound man. TBW doesn't even know what a two-year old and five-year old look like bedywise. She has no clue.

Meghan Markle's half sister has appealed a recent defeat, breathing new life into her libel lawsuit against the royal.

Samantha Markle sued the Duchess of Sussex over comments made during her Oprah Winfrey interview and Netflix documentary, but the case was dismissed in March by a district court judge in Tampa, Florida.

Now, Samantha Markle's legal team has filed an appeal, which—if successful—would overturn Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell's decision to dismiss her case.
etc

Let's hope she's successful this time. This might wipe the smirk off *'s face.

Do you mean the Frog-Cott photo I referred to as showing `Dead Frog Archie'? There's a limpness about the child which suggests he really a rag doll, as carried in a sling in Canada.
I reckon the security H is after in the UK is to protect him from a lawful arrest by the police, on a charge of treason, or to stop the children being seized to bring them into the custody of the King. It's not just fear of terrorism.

@Sandie

You made a good point when you said that TOW did talk about her miscarriage, or 'mythcarriage' depending on what you believe. The thing is, she gave us an account that was not too dissimilar to Chrissy Teigen's and she knew people wouldn't ask too many questions. I don't think people would probe, out of tact and decency. I think pregnancy is another matter, as HG Tudor explained she can gush about a lot of things but on the subject of pregnancy, she never said a word. Without going into details and divulging personal medical information , she could have enthused about expecting her first child and being a mother. She never missed an opportunity to talk about herself before.

As for not wanting to feel obliged to stand on the steps of the Lindo wing, b....ocks. She never missed an opportunity to cosplay Diana and she could have 'rivalled' - in her mind only - Catherine doing the same. As if she'd miss an opportunity to have the world press expectantly waiting for the Douchass to make an appearance with a babe in her arms. Again, as HG Tudor said, she wants her privacy when it suits her, or WTTE.

Posted by an ANON without giving the source:

The source told New magazine: “Harry and Meghan are planning a fifth birthday party for Archie at their Montecito home on May 6 and were then going to fly over to the UK on a private jet the following day. They were going to attend the Anniversary Service, followed by a few more days in the UK, so the children could meet with members of the Royal Family.”
----------

My opinion:
* This visit would get her a lot of attention, plus some new expensive clothes and itty bitty jewellery, so she does want to make this trip.
* Being booed is also getting attention, and she knows the SS and SS fans will go to any lengths to fight for her, so she does not think that a negative reception or negative press coverage (that which she cannot buy in any way) will do her or her mythical brand any harm (until it does and then she cries victim).
* Keeping control of the children and away from his family is a priority for her, so including children in a trip like this would be excruciatingly stressful for her.

Question from me: Do they have wealthy friends who have property in London and surrounds where they can stay? If they stay in an expensive exclusive hotel, is Invictus Games expected to pay for it? They will also need cars, drivers, assistants, plenty of bodyguards (for the optics).

Would that protect him from lawful arrest, though? Seems to me that the security would have to cooperate in a case such as that.

Lady C has an updated version of her book on the Harkles, .

She talks about it in her latest video and makes some interesting observations. We've been talking about TOW's pregnancy and the visit to Birkenhead. Strangely enough, Lady C does mention the same and the moonbump falling to *'s knees and gives it context by saying the visit was after the allegations of staff bullying and the duo were under scrutiny. She adds that "all of the doubtful motivation that has or can be directed in their direction is redirected at source, namely Meghan but this is not the time to say more than that, er, this is not also the forum. I would suspect that after people have read the book and asked particular questions, I can then rather more safely address the issue than it would be comforting to do at this juncture." (My emphasis).

I wonder if this means she'll discuss the issue at a later stage and if there will be some revelations? I know Lady C is very guarded, with good reason, but with HG Tudor's video a day old it's a bit strange that the moonbump resurfaces now. Maybe it's just a coincidence...

The latest story, via a CDAN blind (for gossip and not reliable information) is that she is actually launching ARO next month (does that mean products to sell?), so hapless will be going alone for the IG show and will have to return immediately to 'support' her.
Hikari said…
Ian’s Girl,

The story was making the rounds at the time of the engagement that * had had her eggs harvested with a fertility clinic in Toronto, just after the split with Trevor Engleson. Trevor had wanted a child with her, and you may recall reports that she’d made Trevor sign a “baby-nup” of sorts stating that he would pay for any and all cosmetic procedures, personal trainers & health and beauty treatments to restore her looks and figure should she give birth, and he’d also pay her the equivalent in lost wages if she had to give up working while pregnant. 2 years into the marriage, she dumped him, mailed back her rings and promptly had her ova harvested. (Allegedly) Narcs really know how to wound people exactly where it’s guaranteed to hurt the most. Around this same time, two related occurrences: Ninaki Priddy ended her decades-long association with TOW, citing the cold-hearted treatment of Trevor, whom N. Liked very much, as the cause. Whether this was solely due to the callous way * had initiated the divorce, or whether it was something even colder like terminating Trevor’s baby or claiming she had…this was possibly intimated but never stated in so many words. (For legal reasons). Anyway, it was something bad that finally compelled Ninaki to go no contact with the spider.

At the same general time, it has been reported, Call Sheet #6 was experiencing marked swelling in the abdominal area which necessitated the altering of all of Rachel Zane’s costumes. It was becoming a headache for the wardrobe department. Then, after a hiatus, she returned to set looking as svelte as ever. I won’t speculate upon the number(s) of potential pregnancies R had before “Archie”, whether they carried to term or not. The rumors about R’s niece Noel persist…The puffiness during the third season if Suits may have been fertility drugs if she was doing the egg harvesting.

This leads to more conjecture about Hazza’s part in this whole saga…which I will discuss in Pt. 2. I have some ideas relating to this but personally after 6, nearly 7 years of the reproductive antics of RMM, I am fatigued. I’m about ready to embrace a fan theory that I said was outlandish hate mongering a few years ago but now have come to view as not so outlandish. The less charitable say it bluntly: * is really a dude in sheep’s clothing. I prefer to be more medically precise and call it “androgen insensitivity disorder.” Such a person presents externally in appearance as female, often to a hyper degree, but in fact is biologically male with XY chromosomes and some partially developed internal male sex organs. Their bodies are resistant to male puberty hormones and retain feminine characteristics but such persons would not produce viable eggs or be able to carry a fetus. Nor would they have viable sperm production. They are sterile.
Hikari said…
This is all only conjecture on my part, of course, but there are features of TOW’s physique and other traits that in retrospect do make me wonder. I remember quite early on, someone commenting upon her “mannish personality”. She does have that…and for someone who allegedly studied yoga since the age of 11 favors a wide stance and clomps around like a stevedore. I’ve got no proof, but it would explain a lot.

Given H’s proclivities for the degenerate and his own orientation fluidity/confusion (in my opinion)… maybe HERE is the reason for the inexplicable power she seems to have over him. The only other comment I will make at the moment about this is that some time ago, maybe 2 years by now, Lady C fielded this rumor in one of her Q&As. The viewer wanted to know if she thought there was any validity for this rumor gaining traction—did Lady C have any intel on this from her sources?

Lady C was very circumspect and delicate in her answer, as she was legally compelled to be. She basically replied that in the absence of proof, such a topic would have to remain in the realm of speculation, but that it was an *interesting* notion. She smiled when she said it and did not categorically deny such a scenario as entirely baseless, either.

I’m sure everyone is aware that this topic is in Lady C’s personal wheelhouse as a transgendered person herself. This painful condition was the cause of her acrimonious split from Lord Campbell. Not only because of the humiliating scandal to him personally but also because she’d never be able to provide heirs. Terribly important to the aristocracy, even among second sons. Goes to the heart of their virility, which is shared by men of all social classes. Stakes are even higher when a family dynasty with lands and titles is handed down through generations. Lord C like Hazza is overshadowed by an elder brother, the Duke of Argyll.

I would assume that if Lady C found this suggestion personally hurtful or baselessly prurient, she’d have been angry enough to say so. Instead she basically implied that she didn’t think it was far off the mark…it just couldn’t be proven without cooperation from the relevant parties….I think Lady C might know the signs better than the average bear.
Hikari said…
Regardless of one’s thoughts on that controversial subject, it’s glaringly apparent that whip-smart TOW has zero clue about timelines for human gestation and early childhood development and about what is physically and developmentally possible/ normal at various stages. If she truly carried Archie herself for 10 months, how do you account for her apparent ability to squat with ease in a skirt and 4/inch stilettos and bounce back up unassisted in the 8th month? What accounts for Harry’s bizarre remarks at the Windsor unveiling of a blanket or that Rachel’s post parting um bump skewed sideways? No reputable doctor would allow a geriatric mother who’d gone multiple weeks past her due date to chow down on hamburgers during labor or go home 2 hours after giving birth. If she gave birth at the Portland, why was there not a single picture? Sarah Ferguson posed happily with both babies outside of the Portland and she was also Wife of Spare. Pictures or it didn’t happen, Rachel.

Why do she and H insist that their then 18-month old had”crocodile” as his first word and personally asked his Great-grandmother the Queen for a waffle maker as a Christmas present? Anyone who’s ever been pregnant or frankly cared for a toddler for more than 10 minutes knows these are rank impossibilities. What we would all like to know is HOW the duo have been able to tell such porkie pies about 2 children and birth for the last 5.5 years without once being refuted by MSM. That continues to be a source of wonderment to us all.
Hikari said…
It goes back to the question of the level of Harry’s involvement in his paternity, whether that’s authentic or inauthentic. During those 18-some months the egregious duo were allegedly dating (or having transatlantic booty calls at the convenience of HRH, which is what thus pair of tossheads call “dating”…) H was in Toronto a number of times. Was he somehow bamboozled into contributing a sample at RMM’s fertility clinic? What if, in the throes of the love-bombing, and convinced he was wanted to marry this woman, he agreed to a “fertility test”. There had been concerns that his fertility was going to be affected by testicular surgery he had at the age of 7. What if R convinced him that they were going so they could both get clean bills of reproductive health to present to the Queen when asking for permission to marry… A good idea since they were both in their 30s etc. etc. Only, unbeknownst to him, his sample was used to fertilize some eggs-either R’s banked ones or a surrogate’s? And the screw the dastardly cohort used to twist H’s thumbs for the super quick engagement and Royal wedding was threatening to tell HMTQ and PP that thanks to HazNoBrains, Royal DNA was freerange in the world… Occupying wombs for hire or even for sale to the highest bidder. H had been used as a stud, in so many words. This plot would require the complicity of an unscrupulous fertility doctor and clinic but it’s not like that’s unheard of. Rachel & Markus are connected to some very seedy people..and if the Clooneys were somehow involved, celebrity like that greases a lot of palms. Look what happened to her ob/gyn (alleged) in Santa Barbara. Maybe R planned to try this con on any wealthy bachelor she could lure into her web and it was the Ginger Knob blundered in. She must’ve thought she hit the jackpot.

Short of admitting to killing somebody, this revelation would be about the worst. Worse than Vegas. Worse than running drugs or having sex with guys…think of the potential constitutional mess. H stepped in something, all right. Any such embryos would be RMM’s insurance policy against him ever dumping her. If it’s true, that’s Kryptonite.

I think multiple surrogates were arranged and one may have produced a child known conceptually as “Archie”. Perhaps an earlier attempt failed which is why “Archie” was allegedly weeks overdue. Remember how big she was at the Commonwealth Day service in mid March that year. She looked ready to pop with twins on that day but disappeared from view until almost 2 months later when she “gave birth”. I knew a large-boned lady who did deliver twins and R was her size at Commonwealth Day. Then some 7 weeks later she delivers a male baby way late who clocked in at a petite 7.3 pounds? And was allowed to go home 2 hours later? I hardly think so.

PP should have said, "One pays by the hour, but doesn't put a ring on it."

A minor correction if I may. Lady C is not a 'transgendered person herself'. She was born with a genital malformation but she was female. She was brought up as a boy but was never one and presumably, never felt like one.

This detailed timeline retrospect that is being meticulously compiled is very revealing. On the one hand, this coverage must have reinforced her sense of entitlement and her conviction in herself. On the other hand, there was criticism and the ever-present threat of exposure. She had to shut down the exposure, but she fed off the over-the-top attention and gushing. What is also revealed is that she has always fed lies/fantasy to the media via flying monkeys, but at the beginning hapless would set the record straight. He was soon bought into line by her.
Hikari said…
@Maneki

Thanks for posting the clarification about Lady C. I knew she had been christened “George William” at birth. Despite being born female the medical establishment advised her parents to raise her as a boy due to an anatomical anomaly which did not make her appear male but was not typical for a female. The specifics of her condition, which she had corrected in 1970 when she was 21, are available on her Wiki page. It’s hard to imagine that raising her as a boy would have seemed the better course since she did not have any male characteristics at all. She attended the Fashion Institute of New York and worked as a model prior to marrying Lord Colin Campbell after a whirlwind romance. When news about her supposed birth gender got out, her husband’s fragile aristo ego was unable to cope and they divorced after 9 months of marriage. She is not biologically intersex but was forced by her parents and society to present as a false gender identity for the first 21 years of her life. I guess we could call her socially transgendered against her will. Her case reminds me of David Reimer, whose parents were convinced by an unscrupulous doctor to raise as “Brenda” after a botched circumcision as a baby. He and hisidentical twin brother, who was unharmed were used (and abused) by this doctor out to prove his theory that gender identity was an entirely learned social behavior, not a result of biology. The doctor was later discredited and David unfortunately ended up taking his own life at 38 despite having reclaimed his birth gender at the age of 15. Sad sad sad. I don’t blame Lady C for tenaciously clinging to the title from her brief marriage. If her husband and his social class have been more open-minded, they might be living happily together today. The issue of procreation was still a potential problem. I think Lord Campbell sued for and was granted divorce on the grounds of “fraud”.

Thank goodness Lady C made lemonade out of lemons and continues to be such a unique personality…I find her voice hard to take in large doses but I always enjoy her dish about the renegade “Royalz”. Her life can’t have been easy given her obstacles at birth but she’s certainly overcome them. Any British Nutties in a position to visit Castle Goring, I’d love your thoughts on the venue and its chatelaine. Lady C is about 9 months younger than King Charles.

@Sandie, re. New article

This publication has always been pro-Sussexand printed some ridiculous things before probably on Rachel’s payroll, so I don’t regard it as reliable. Extremely tabloid. Incredibly, she is still hammering on about a joyful reunion in Blighty and “bringing the children.” Shades of the jubilee in 2022 where “the kids” were touted but never seen either.

TOW is either manifesting again (Seriously, yawn)…or else this is her calculated jab of revenge, to keep putting out these stories to harass the RF and keep them perpetually on edge.

There is no way in hell this scenario will be happening. Given both the King and Catherine’s present health battles, any Anniversary activities will likely be curtailed. There will likely be a service for the occasion but it’s very iffy that his Majesty or Catherine could attend. If that’s the case, then the two senior royals on deck, Camilla and William simply Won’t Be Having It. The Sussexes are not going to England on May 7. No way no how. If H is called over, we should be concerned for the King’s health, but otherwise this is all malignant fantasy. May 6 happens to be the Met Gala this year, so R is distracting from her non-invitation (yet again) because of the very important Birthday Party that takes precedence. And anyway, if the family stays in California on anniversary day for the king, they will miss whatever royal event is going on to mark that occasion as they well know. It’s a smoke and mirrors. Notice how they are always “planning” to do something… Never executing, And the rest of the projected plans are actually written in the past tense they “were” to use a private jet and blah blah.., not “will” or “are”. They are full of it.

Meghan and Harry to launch two new Netflix series' on cooking, gardening and polo - as Duchess continues TV work alongside her new American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to launch two Netflix shows on cooking, gardening and polo.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly have two non-fiction projects in the works.

The shows come as part of the deal that the couple's Archewell Productions company signed with the streaming giant in 2020.

The first series will see Meghan 'celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship', according to Deadline.

The show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation, the company behind Hulu's The D’Amelio Show and A&E’s Leah Remini: Scientology & the Aftermath.

The Duchess of Sussex is set to be an executive producer for Archewell, alongside Chanel Pysnik the company's head of non-fiction.

The second series will focus on the world of polo and was primarily shot during the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center.

Harry will join Meghan and Pysnik as an executive producer on this project.
(DM)

How do they set themselves up as 'executive producers'? Unbelievable. I can't see the projects attracting any interest, assuming, of course, that they take off the ground. Perhaps TOW can share her special recipe for pie in the sky.
Observant One said…
PEOPLE magazine’s web site declares that Archewell Productions has 2 new projects for NETFLIX, “in the early development stages.” One is a cooking show for Megsy and the other is a polo show for Harry. I’ll believe it when I see NETFLIX announce it.

https://people.com/meghan-markle-prince-harry-announce-new-shows-netflix-cooking-polo-8609929

One of these days, someone who has been forced to work with her will snap and declare that “Meghan, the Duchess is barking mad!” I know it’s bound to happen. She can’t continue using people, telling obvious lies and hiding her alleged children. No one else could get away with this crazy behavior for YEARS! Let’s face it, most of us are hanging around the forums waiting for the day we see the train totally come off the tracks and skid to a stop, teetering on the edge of a cliff. I think I hear the train whistle off in the distance, but getting closer.
Yes, It definitely was reported that the cancer reveal was timed for the school holidays, for exactly the reason that the Wales's wanted the children to hear it from them.

Not like the boys hearing about thee Diana interview at school...
So she's a gardening expert now, is she?

Somewhere I have a small, humorous, volume titled `Yew and Non-Yew', all about the English Class System, (The title refers to choice of hedging plant!). There a paragraph headed `How to be a Gardening Guru, in short, marry a rich man, use his money to design a notable garden and then write a book about it. At the time, I saw it as a skit on Rosemary Verey at Barnsley House in Gloucestershire.

I there any evidence that * has so much as picked up a trowel? She may have married a rich man, rapidly heading for poverty, but that's as far as she is qualified.

@Observant One

There are already such programmes on TV, at least in the UK. Is she going to make her pasta dish with the recipe that she stole from Corey? Or her banana bread, that staff made (and made again and again) in Sydney, officially made with her own fair hands in the kitchen of Admiralty House? To present a cooking show, you need to have a old repertoire of recipes and an engaging personality. She'll make Brooklyn Beckham look like a pro. As for gardening, has she'd ever demonstrated any skills and interest?

Re polo, you play it or watch a match but it would only attract a minority audience: 'The show will go behind the scenes of the sport, exploring what it takes to compete at the highest level.' Polo is for the seriously wealthy. I checked and there are around 3000 polo players in the UK, I think professionals and amateurs. The US have more than 4,500 members. We can see how successful the projects will be.

As for the polo ... Hapless did not play in the 2023 championship. Neither him nor his wife are featured anyway on the website for the USPA National Polo Center:

One person was there when Meg pitched Kris Jenner idea of a TV show on following her through her day. The hook advertises a variety of [her] products & cooking, a "natural vibe" for brand deals.

So, basically, a reality show dedicated to yo pandering to her ego and need for attention? The brand deals is how she hopes to make money. What a mess!
So the sunshines of Sussex are going to work for living? That is going to be intressant. Harry can lecture about a new phenomenon called work ethic, something he has not seen during his 40 years on this earth. And mrs will cook and talk about friendships (that means in real speak that she is trying to get Serena Williams to come and speak some shit for free and then no speak of that subject anymore.)

EXCLUSIVEPrince Harry's PR team are stage managing his public appearances to avoid 'gotcha' moments amid Sussexes's dwindling popularity, royal experts say as Duke dodges livestreams and carefully choreographs his attendance at events charging up to £1,200-a-ticket

An excerpt (everyone gets what she is really about):

----------
It is obvious that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are well aware of the disapproval, hostility and contempt they have incurred among many people by their words and actions since they left Britain and they clearly do not wish take any risks of a confrontation they cannot control - let alone stop.

It is all down to 'control'. With her Hollywood background, Meghan Markle is determined to 'curate' the way in which the world sees her and her husband. 'Live' events cannot be completely controlled. But if you record things, then the message and the image both come out in the way you would wish the world to hear and see.

That is what we are seeing here. Uber control at work, with Meghan pulling the Prince's strings, advising him what to do and how to do it, leaving nothing to chance, even if that means failing to show up at a live event.

Oh, for heaven's sake: they already have Lilli wearing royal tiaras!

Does anyone believe his story of how she chose her wedding tiara?
----------

Harry described the moment that his bride was invited to choose a tiara for her nuptials by the late Queen in his memoir, Spare. The Duke says that he and Meghan were "both touched" when his maternal aunts Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale asked if the future Duchess would like to wear the late Princess Diana's Spencer Tiara.

"Shortly before the wedding, however, Granny reached out. She offered us access to her collection of tiaras. She even invited us to Buckingham Palace to try them on. Do come over, I remember her saying," Harry recalls.

"Extraordinary morning. We walked into Granny's private dressing room, right next to her bedroom, a space I'd never been in. Along with Granny was a jewelry expert, an eminent historian who knew the lineage of each stone in the royal collection. Also present was Granny's dresser and confidante, Angela [Kelly]."

Harry says that the late Queen had chosen five tiaras from the vault - "One was all emeralds. One was aquamarines. Each was more dazzlingly stunning than the last".

The royal groom said "each took my breath" but that one of the five that Meghan tried on stood out.

A revealing throwback article, from The Express:

12th March 2020 - A source close to the Duchess of Sussex said she finds it strange “no one hugs” and said the Royal Family was “uptight”. The source, part of the Duchess of Sussex’ inner circle, told the Daily Mail: “It’s still weird to her that no one hugs and that everyone is so uptight, especially Kate.”

The unnamed friend said Meghan opened up on about her last public meeting with Kate and Prince William at the Commonwealth Day service.

The source continued: “She said it’s obvious that Kate and William do not approve of their choices and that you could cut the tension with a knife.

“Kate barely even looked at her and their interaction was kept to a bare minimum.”

This distance strengthen Meghan’s conviction she and Harry had made the right choice to step down as senior royals and choose a more independent life, the source added.

This alleged lack of warmth within the palaces’ walls appeared not to be compatible with the way the Duchess of Sussex wants to bring up her son Archie Harrison.

The source said: “She said [the trip] has been a confirmation that they made the right choice in parting ways.

“There’s no warmth between the family members and she wants to raise Archie in a household that is filled with laughter and joy and lots of hugs.”
----------

Would anyone who has seen Catherine and William with their children, and the public, and other royal family members interact, say this is accurate? Nope. I want someone to put her on live TV, show her a barrage of photos and videos of royals hugging, laughing, fooling around, showing warmth, and ask her where are her non-curated images and videos. And then ask her if she believes her nasty stories and lies.

@Swampie

That doesn’t seem fair. Pasta Puttanesca is a venerable and legitimate dish featuring fruits de mer. I should think the Duchess knows her way around Puttanesca and the Duke certainly does.



My idea for Season Two will feature the Duchess feeding Harry beloved foods from his childhood just like Darren McGrady and McDonald’s used to make while she models recreations of some of Diana’s iconic looks.

A holiday special: Tiaras and Trifles, will focus on holiday puddings, cocktails and table decorating ideas in festive griege.
Follow the Icreasingly soused Duchess on a tour of her closet and purloined pieces of her late mother-in-law’s jewelry. The centerpiece will be the Queen Mary Bandeau done in paste, an exact replica of the replica she wore at her wedding. Princess Lili (who will not appear) gets to play with the tiara as a special treat, which her mother will be sure to tell us all about it.

The children will be away at their Montessori boarding school in Tuscany and will be unavailable to appear on camera even though they have the BEST TIME playing dress up with Mommy when they are allowed out of their box… that is, convent where they learn how to recite Dante’s Inferno in the original and dance on the Tignanello grapes which Mummy will one day store in her extensive wine cellar in Mudslide Manor.

Buon Appetito!

Meghan Markle wows in white dress and towering heels as she and Prince Harry arrive hand-in-hand at glitzy charity polo match in Miami surrounded by film crew from Duke's new Netflix show about elitist sport

----------
Harry and Meghan pulled up at the swish venue at around 4:30pm local time, with a film crew in tow shooting their every move.

The cameras continued to roll as they hopped out of their white SUV with Harry’s Argentine polo player pal Nacho Figueras and were led to the clubhouse by excited staff as the Duke prepared to go head-to-head in the charity match against the Argentine star.

The dapper Duke appeared moments later on a terrace where he was seen chatting with guests and posing for group photos.

‘He looked the quintessential networker – shaking hands, smiling for photos. He looked in his element,’ one onlooker said.

Harry and Meghan's glamorous public arrival comes amid expert claims that the Duke is working closely with Archewell PRs to stage manage his appearances in an attempt to avoid any 'gotcha' moments.

Many of Harry's recent appearances have been very carefully publicized, with little information, video, or imagery shared ahead of or during the events.

Instead, approved photos or video clips have been released hours, even days, after they take place.

That certainly seemed to be the case at this latest event, where a staffer at the polo club told DailyMail.com that only media outlets personally approved by Harry were allowed access to the event.

`Dapper' is the last word I'd use to describe H.
I do believe that Africa is in Harry's soul, he does not visit it because he has totally lost his soul and whether he has any heart is very questionable. He does not give a damn about the beatings and rapings of the Baka people in the Central Africa. I hope king Charles is really ashamed of his younger son's incapability to function as a moral human being when he chants his I-My-Me-Mine How I Feel About Africa and silently accepts the crimes against people who can't defend themselves.

Hard to say where to place TOW's banana bread. I'd put it under "trying to fool people with my cooking skills", to be served to a now more enlightened public. Officially, she found the time to bake at Admiralty House after a day of engagements, and a few weeks pregnant too! The banana bread was in fact made by staff. As for 'her' pasta recipe, it was Corey's. She's such a fraud!

Don't forget, under *Desserts*, to include fresh bananas, either with an uplifting message or simply touchingly arranged side by side, 'spooning'.

Hi Nutties-

I wanted to ad my two cents regarding H&* ‘s two new filming projects. I don’t believe Netflix executives are as preferential or conciliatory to the duo as they were initially. Netflix was “surprised “ and “blindsided “ by Harry’s CBS special about Invictus in Canada. This may have been a breach of contract. Netflix won’t forget. Too much water under the proverbial bridge. Their Archewell projects may not be picked up by Netflix and thus shelved until Netflix contract is over. Also, who is going to watch Harry’s musings about a sport that abuses horses?

Just my thoughts.
Hikari said…
aluanor,

“Africa is in Harry’s soul” Is part of the official Palace spun about Sparry.

Pa took Sparry and William On some luxury safari holidays after Mummy died. Sparry’s version of Africa is Safari Disneyland as experienced by a 13 year old. Harry is perpetually 13 and that’s where he will stay. If he really cared deeply about Africa that much, he had many opportunities show it. The queen would’ve been happy to let him live there part of the year, either as a bachelor or with The Meg. Rejected. Harry does not give 2 fluffs about the land, its wildlife or its people. Africa to him means the luxury resort in Botswana where he takes his new birds to get freaky. He has no interest in the real Africa.

@Maneki

Well, that’s my hypothesis confirmed then. Ever since he got with the wife, I have found evidence to suggest that he is not strictly heterosexual. Nacho is probably not either. Harry’s got Nacho; the wife’s got Markus, it’s all veddy cozy. This is no secret; this is the arrangement they made before they had that sham wedding. Personally I think each finds the other completely repellent in every conceivable way and I doubt they’ve had any physical contact of a connubial nature since since 2017. HG Tudor has it wrong; H gets his spicy poontang from other sources…male ones. My opinion only but I’m convinced it’s the truth.
Maneki Neko said…
I never believed rumours about H's alleged proclivities but I must say I find the video (1.21 pm upthread) disturbing. H is openly caressing Nacho's hand, he isn't even trying to be discreet about it. I don't know whether he did it deliberately to provoke the spectators and viewers or whether he just doesn't care any more. The hand caressing was accompanied by a smile directed at Nacho. This was no accidental hand touching.
Well, is it not very typical Harry? Does not care how he possibly harms his pal's family? Nacho has four children, but if Harry's interest in them is as nonexistent as his interest in his own son and daughter he certainly can behave as he pleases and obviously he does. Is there not even ONE pleasant thing in that man's character? Slimy being.
Ian's Girl said…
It doesn't look at all serial to me. It looks like extremely immature gooning after an accidental hand touch. I find the nipple twisting episodes far more bizarre.

I totally agree that he seems to have peaked emotionally and mentally at around 13, much like Nutmeg seems to be stuck in the 90s.

I'll be even more controversial, and say I don't think she looks half bad. It's a very odd outfit, some sort of halter top/gaucho/jumpsuit weirdness, and the stilettos are stupid on grass, but I have seen her look far worse.

Of course she has to make sure she is front and center, as if she herself won the trophy, or even participated in the playing of the match. She is a piece of work.

Moment Meghan Markle asks woman not to pose next to Prince Harry for Polo prizegiving photo - and lets royal fan stand next to her instead

Meghan Markle caused an awkward moment on stage when she asked a woman not to pose for a photo next to Prince Harry after he won a polo tournament.

The Duchess, 42, ordered people onto the stage after she presented Harry, 39, with a trophy at a glitzy charity polo match in Miami, Florida.

She asked the well-dressed woman in a white dress to move to the center of the group, away from Harry, and insisted that she sit in the center of the group next to her husband with the royal fan next to her.


Who does she think she is? And she's got nothing to do with polo. She can't help herself, she has to be centre stage.

Polo thing: The four of them posing for photos. Dumb-barton is gazing adoringly at Nacho, Nacho and wife smile straight ahead, and Malignant smiles at Dumb-barton.

What in the holy h*ll was Malignant doing posing in the middle of the polo players as they held their trophy? Everyone too polite to tell her to "Eff off!" ?

@Fifi

Yes, that photo is puzzling, isn't it?
I don't know what TBW was doing posing in the middle of the polo players either. As you said, maybe they were too polite to tell to sling her hook but she had no scruples bossing a woman around and telling her to move away. Her attitude is seriously cringe. Either she's not embarrassed at all or else she couldn't care less. A real POS.

Well, look at it this way, y'all. Would you rather her be running around bothering people trying to quietly eat at a nice restaurant, or for her to jump in for photo ops while engaged in trophy snatching on a polo field? Polo field trophy snatching gets my vote! I have to admit that my favorite is random parking lot pics, though. Bless her heart, she should be careful about where she steps but I suppose she's used to that.

'Campaigners trying to force the release of Prince Harry’s U.S. visa records have submitted to a judge what they called 'extraordinary’ comments by Joe Biden’s ambassador to the U.K.

Ambassador Jane Hartley recently said that Harry would never be deported from the U.S. while Biden is president.

The Heritage Foundation, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, is currently suing Biden's Department of Homeland Security for access to the royal's immigration papers.

It argued the ambassador's remarks undermined the Biden administration's bid to keep the documents secret and backed up the case for disclosing them.

By the way, I think that hugging and walking with Nachos' wife, arms around each other, on day 2 was odd. They spent the day together the day before, but she acts as if they are seeing each other for the first time in ages. My guess: she saw the negative reactions to her appearance on day 1 and is manipulating every one to be sympathetic to her. Or is she simply putting on a display for the cameras?

In case you were wondering and were excited by TOW's forthcoming cooking show:

'The Duchess of Sussex is due to start filming her first solo series for Netflix on Tuesday, but viewers hoping that it will give them a glimpse into Meghan’s enviable lifestyle are going to be left sorely disappointed.

For I can disclose that the programme will not be filmed at the home she shares with Prince Harry.

Instead, the series – which will, according to the American streaming giant, ‘celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship’ – is to be shot at another property in their expensive California neighbourhood.

‘Netflix has rented a house in Montecito for filming,’ a source tells me.' (DM)

Maybe TOW does little or no cooking and doesn't have the required equipment and utensils. I wonder how much it will cost Netflix to rent a property in Montecito. They won't get their money back.

There's another twist in H's legal quest -I've just read this on TV and here it is from the Net on BBC News

Published 3 hrs ago;

Prince Harry to fight on in legal battle over security

By Sean Coughlan
Royal correspondent
Prince Harry plans to continue his legal fight over changes to his police protection when in the UK, despite losing an initial attempt to appeal.

The Duke of Sussex had brought a legal challenge against the downgrading of his security when he stopped being a working royal.

He lost that legal claim in the High Court in February - and he has now had a further bid to appeal rejected.

But Prince Harry still intends to pursue this legal battle.

"The Duke of Sussex will be seeking permission from the Court of Appeal to challenge the decision of Mr Justice Lane," said his legal team.

In a decision published on Monday, the High Court turned down Prince Harry's latest attempt to challenge the Home Office over the level of his security when visiting the UK from his home in the United States.

Prince Harry loses High Court case over security
Harry can bring challenge over security levels
The ruling reiterated that the committee deciding on security for royalty, VIPs and senior public figures - known as Ravec - was entitled to have made its decision over changing Prince Harry's protection when his status changed, when he stopped being a working member of the Royal Family.

"The reality of the matter is that the claimant considers he should receive a different approach to his protection whilst in the UK than Ravec decided he should, based in part on his comparison of his own position with that of others.

"Ravec, as an expert body, concluded otherwise. It was entitled to do so," said the ruling from Sir Peter Lane.

And the judge said the appeal bid did not add to the claim but was a "recapitulation of the case" that had previously been brought.

Prince Harry's legal team had argued that he had been treated unfairly in the changes to his police protection, when he still faced significant security threats.

But the High Court ruled in February that there had been no unlawfulness in the decision-making.

The Ravec committee had decided that Prince Harry should have a "bespoke" arrangement for his publicly-funded security when in the UK, as he was no longer eligible for the level of protection for working royals.

This bespoke arrangement was "legally sound", the High Court had ruled, after a hearing in which much of the evidence had been heard in private for security reasons.

Even if there had been any "procedural unfairness" it would not have changed the outcome of Ravec's decision, the court had found.

Prince Harry's legal team had previously said it would challenge that judgement, saying he "hopes he will obtain justice from the Court of Appeal".

"The duke is not asking for preferential treatment," his lawyers had said after the High Court ruling, but they claimed there had been an unfairness in how decisions were made.

The ruling on Monday rejected the initial appeal attempt, but his legal team will now seek permission to appeal directly to the Court of Appeal.

There was also a ruling on costs, with Prince Harry having to pay 90% of the Home Office's legal costs of defending this challenge.

Apparently he's going to have another go when he's back here for Invictus do. What part of `No!' doesn't he understand?

Sandie said…
Prince Harry was today ordered to reimburse taxpayers after losing his High Court battle with the Home Office for downgrading his police protection.
He potentially faces a bill of around £1million when his own legal costs are taken into account.

A judge rejected a bid to halve the amount he had to pay by saying the Duke of Sussex had 'comprehensively lost' his case.
Separately Sir Peter Lane also threw out the duke's application to appeal against the ruling, describing one section of it as 'frankly hopeless'.

Harry, who has previously vowed to appeal the case, can still approach the Court of Appeal directly if he wishes to pursue it.
The twin rulings are another legal blow to the duke after he lost his two-year Home Office battle in February.

@Maneki

So the Lifestyle Maven Duchess is going to dispense cooking, gardening and friendship advice from some rented stage set where she’s neither cooked nor gardened?

What happened to the kitchen garden she rhapsodized about? What about Archie’s organic chicken coop?

What Rachel knows about friendship wouldn’t fill the head of a pin.

Are there a large number of rental properties in Montecito? I’ve heard that’s the most expensive little town in America, and all of its residents are multi millionaires seeking privacy and a slower pace than the LA rat race. Doesn’t seem like a rental market unless there is another failed property like the Olive Garden at Riven Rock that’s rented by the hour for photo shoots and motion pictures.

If the Dum-Dums actually owned Mudslide Manor she’d be eager to show it off. Now she’s got to grift another borrowed celebrity mansion for her bogus project?

When will everyone realize that she’s all clang and no cymbals? Netflix continues to throw good money after bad..,or else she’s just weaving BS again.

Aha - `Meghan Markle Allegedly Pushing For An Apology From Royal Family Before Visiting UK With The Kids'
- by a freelancer called Favour Adegoke, based in Nigeria. I'm noy sure of the source.

What do you make of it? It claims she's turned down the invitation. Speculation, or is this what Neil Sean was talking about?
The apology? Possible reasons why:

Apparently, Lady C has said in her book that it's for the BP statement about Archie's birth - in my words, they told us that Archie wasn't legitimately a Royal prince without actually saying he wasn't.

As one Sinner puts it, `

`If this is about the birth then everything is in her power to make them do it surely, show the kids to the world with evidence they're were not born via a surrogate and I'm sure KP will authorise a pleb to say sorry for not wording the announcement the way Meghan demands it.'

And another, (LostinSOA)

`Ooooh!!💡💡💡 she wants an apology for the BRF not covering up her surrogacy and the Kensington palace that they were delivered of a child by surrogate. Bitch you so transparent you may be a vampire.'
It's appeared in the Daily Record (a Scottish tab)

Meghan Markle’s former royal aide, Samantha Cohen, has finally confirmed she was one of 10 royal staffers to be interviewed in Buckingham Palace’s investigation into bullying accusations leveled against the Duchess of Sussex.

Cohen worked for the royal family since 2001 and was Markle’s private secretary in 2021 when the first complaint was made that the former “Suits” star created a hostile work environment.

Although she would not elaborate in an interview with the Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, Cohen, an Aussie, told the outlet Monday, “I was only supposed to stay for six months but stayed for 18 — we couldn’t find a replacement for me and when we did we took them on tour to Africa with Harry and Meghan to show them the ropes but they left (quit) as well while in Africa.”

If Harry had had a younger sister he'd be *really* angry.
Hikari said…
Oh dear, where to start this morning?

What is the invitation Mrs Sausage is demanding an apology for first…the anniversary service? But that’s on “Archie’s birthday” anyhow, an event so important to the world that she had also demanded it be acknowledged during the sacred anointing of a sovereign. Rachel and Harry never stop demanding things no matter how many times they are denied. It’s typical 2 year old behavior from a couple of 40+ year olds. One can easily see how being raised as H was, cosseted in palaces and waited on hand and foot and deferred to constantly by adults…might circle s child into a Harry.

But what confluence of factors made a Meghan? Yes, she came from a broken blended home. Growing up with an overly intelligent Hollywood industry father meant that he could indulge her Hollywood princess fantasy. She never wanted for any material thing. But unlike Harry, her family did have to live in operate in the real world, even if Rachel had a nice house and got to attend good schools. No one else besides her father was obligated to treat her like a princess and give her everything she demanded, but this pernicious delusion that she is queen of the world persists. The UK press has dubbed hairy “the unpleasurable turd” but that sobriquet really belongs to his wife. Like a sewer rat, she keeps swimming to the top or at least giving the illusion that she is successfully doing that. It’s quite a notable talent even if it’s only one of two she possesses. Her other talent I had in mind is not acting.

If Madam really had a product line to sell, you’d think she would’ve given significantly more than 50 people significantly more than one measly jar of jam. Like why not a deluxe gift basket to at least 100 people? Shades of the Australia house banana bread debacle, I think * got some sap To make or give her 50 jars of jam. She slapped on her “hand calligraphy“ label and sent those out like she is a business tycoon. Along the lines of her 40×40 birthday project, this is going to die on the vine because she does not have anything to sell. It’s ridiculous.

Right. If you are aiming for the Whole Foods crowd and up, organic (based on EWG - Environmental Working Group) is very important with strawberries. For years and years.

Over 20 years ago, we were in San Francisco and they offered organic chicken whatever salad or sandwich at a museum. Not even a non-organic alternative chicken. California was way ahead of the organic is important curve.

More thoughts this morning…

For some reason I was thinking about Princess Margaret and decided to look up the date of her wedding. Guess the date of the first Royal wedding after Elizabeth’s in 1947?

May 6, 1960. A Friday.

Prince Andrew had only been born the preceding February and protocol forbade Margaret from announcing her engagement until after her Majesty was delivered. Andrew was born 19 February so Aunt Margo’s engagement was only 10 weeks long. That must be a royal record. Apparently she had been planning the wedding for at least a year because her announcement was held up, but I find the selection of the date quite interesting. Surely it wasn’t completely random that the wedding was on such a significant date for the House of Windsor, as noted by Charles’ selection of that date for his Coronation. Was Margaret honoring her father and grandfather’s memories by selecting 6 May or trying to overshadow them? Was picking that date a little twist of the knife to her sister for having been so long denied a wedding?

In the same manner I am cynical that the blessed arrival of the Duchess of Sussex (whatever) on 6 May was a completely random act of biology. See, I have a suspicious mind that goes into overdrive when it sees too many coincidences. “Archie’s birth” preceded Charles’ coronation by 4 years… There was no way to anticipate when Charles would accede to the Crown. But if * had managed to winkle out of her father-in-law in the course of conversation the meaningfulness of the date 6 May, she may well have plotted for that day to be upstaged in perpetuity by one of her own life events. Not that Charles would have discussed any plans for his future coordination with his sons wife as such, but history loving Charles may have mentioned in passing that 6 May I was very important to the House of Windsor and he planned to honor it in the future. I doubt highly that H would’ve been aware of it himself, the knob, but I feel that M somehow learned of it. Was Archie’s birthday selected as revenge for the “Anne Boleyn/Wallis Simpson” homages on her wedding day? It does make one wonder.

Why is she hammering on now, five years later about an “apology” For the BP announcement of the blessed event instead of when it happened? Because… It’s just more obfuscation and an excuse to not come to the UK and “show the kids”. It’s all so tired. We’ve been through this already two years ago for the Jubilee.

Regarding Samantha Cohen‘s interview, I am not a bit surprised that she was forced to stay on a year longer than agreed because she could not find a replacement for herself. The person who had a good sense to quit immediately before ever having to take over for Miss Cohen did herself an inestimable favor. And if her late majesty had not already done so, King Charles should create Miss Cohen an OBE at the least for her services to the Crown.

Finally, I read a headline yesterday on the net that Netflix has actually denied making any deal whatsoever with a Harkles for a cooking show and Pollo special. I didn’t save the source and it was perhaps not entirely reputable so I’m just wondering if anyone else has seen that floating around.

She is not even making an effort in terms of product. What is special about her strawberry jam?

Did she provide the photos for them to post, or do these influencer women have nothing better to do then set up photo shoots to promote her strawberry jam?

Having said that though, if I were Ted Sarandos I'd be denying it outright too.

Nutties— Just read that these jam jars don’t require ingredient/ nutritional label as they are “ gifts”. Food manufacturers are under strict restrictions & California has an another layer of regulations as well. She will have to disclose the place of manufacture which I am curious about. The red/ white checkerboard fabric signals country, not high- end $$$ luxury. ( reminds me of Bonne Mamam preserves which I like for$3.50 at Publix). Selling food opens up liability with lawsuits from consumers (this is America). She’s not going to make any $$ from selling jams. In addition, it will take 6-12 months before any jam is ready to be sold.She should stick with tablecloths and yoga mats.

IMO, these jam jars are clap back for the mocking of splashing out an Instagram brand launch with no products.

Hikari...you solved the mystery!!!

I've thought all along that both kid's birth dates were pre-selected. But couldn't figure out how she managed to make A's coincide with the coronation since who could predict when that would occur.

$10 says KC said something either to her or within her hearing, or H knew it and mentioned it to her in passing, that when time came that the coronation would be on May 6th.
I bet * hasn't thought too deeply about insurance cover in case she gets sued for any foreign material that sneaks into her jams and chutneys. I certainly wouldn't care to eat anything she's involved with - we've too good an idea of where she's been. Hygiene is not something we associate with her.

I confess, I long for the day when she is finally squashed (metaphorically, of course) by that huge Monty-Python foot (borrowed from a Bronzino painting*, c.1545) descending ex machina:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVG957gzYK8

* FWIW, the painting, in our National Gallery, is almost appropriate for our happy couple: as the NG says:

"An Allegory with Venus and Cupid
Bronzino

This is one of Bronzino’s most complex and enigmatic paintings. It contains a tangle of moral messages, presented in a sexually explicit image. Venus, goddess of love, steals an arrow from her son Cupid’s quiver as she kisses him on the lips. Cupid fondles Venus‘ breast, his bare buttocks provocatively thrust out as he returns her kiss and attempts to steal her crown.

The masks at Venus’ feet suggest that she and Cupid exploit lust to mask deception. The howling figure on the left may be Jealousy; the boy scattering roses and stepping on a thorn could be Folly or Pleasure; the hybrid creature with the face of a girl, Fraud or Deceit. Winged Father Time battles with mask-like Oblivion to either reveal or conceal the scene.

The picture was probably sent to King Francis I of France as a gift from Cosimo I de' Medici, ruler of Florence, who employed Bronzino as a court painter."

I've come across an interpretation of the howling figure as representing someone suffering from mercury poisoning from being treated for the Great Pox (syphilis). Remember `Truth, the Daughter of Time', the motto of Mary I. Let's hope the Truth comes and bites them both.

I checked the Netflix schedule for the rest of the year and there is nothing about any shows from the duo. However, Netflix only lists shows that they are sure will be delivered. Even though they are supposed to be working with talented directors (in filming and seemingly in using celebrities to make a story seem exciting ... who knows what the angle will be for these shows), Netflix probably does not believe they will deliver until they actually deliver something. The duo are executive directors, which is supposed to mean that they are responsible for the costs of making the shows. The info from Richard Eden seems to indicate that Netflix is putting money into the productions (renting a house for her to use for her show, and so on).

In the photographs from the polo, the cameras seem to have been focusing on the duo, up close. What does the performance between her and Nachos' wife have to do with the game of polo? These are vanity projects, which is the complete opposite of what they said they would be doing with Archewell. They were performing for the cameras, especially her. So much for being authentic!
I wonder how the "influencer" who will get the jam jar number 49 of 50 is going to react when she hears who our celebrity cook has thought were worth of numbers 1-5 of 50?

Tabloids making up stories?

Catherine and hapless are talking to each other.

Hapless wants TBW and the children to stay home next month because her presence is too disruptive.

And so on ...

The comments on Reddit indicate that no one believes these stories. The tabloids are either making it up, or the insider is a crazy woman in Montecito.

If the BBC has purchased the rights to show Suits, how or who was showing it back for the claim in Spare that it was a favorite of William and Catherine?

Thanks

@abbyh

I certainly don't recall it on BBC (or ITV come to that)- must have been a daytime show (sarcasm). I wouldn't think much of our Royals if they spent their days watching the usual daytime fare, instead of being out Royaling.

@abbyh - I didn't watch it but Wiki says that the first six series of Suits were broadcast on "Dave", a free to air channel that, until I looked today, I didn't know was a subsidiary of BBC Studios. As well as being the state broadcaster, BBC does have commercial arms in various markets. Dave does often re-broadcast BBC content - I watch it for quizzes and comedy.

I looked up how/when Suits was available in the UK pre TOW. I found an old DM article dated 27 January 2017 that mentions the programme was returning the following night on the Freeview channel Dave. It obviously had been shown before in the UK if it was returning. The channel dropped the series before Season 7 and Netflix picked up the UK rights

Interestingly, this is how the article presents the character played by Patrick J Adams 'What happens when a college dropout with a photographic memory and a weakness for marijuana gets hired as a lawyer at one of New York’s top firms, even though he secretly never attended Harvard Law School as is required?' Sounds a bit like TO except for the bit 'gets hired as a lawyer'.

In theory, William and Catherine could have watched Suits. As for it being their favourite, I would hope they have better taste. Admittedly, I have never watched it...

Now 3 have posted about the jam.

I can't make out which number it is out of 50.

It seems she delivered the jam in a ceramic pot filled with lemons and some pretty white flowers and foliage.

Is she perhaps targeting the influencer crowd? Hoping that people will buy her products in order to buy 'her' style and life? How many people who are very wealthy aspire to be her? I think in the long term, quality and service make a brand durable. I notice that Highgrove sells at least a couple of varieties of strawberry jam, each with a twist (I think the one has a twist of ginger and the other a dash of gin), and I bet their quality and service are great, and if you want to impress - have Highgrove jam on the breakfast table. The only thing that makes her jam special is that it is her jam.

I am actually feeling sorry for her now. Emma, Marchioness of Bath, also creates and sells her products at Longleat. Classy. Professional. Original.

Do you think she is trying to achieve the same kind of relaxed elegance and originality, and failing horribly?

I thought there was a window where she could have got very well-paid cameo acting roles, big advertising/ambassador contracts from perfume and make-up brands ...but that window closed very quickly. The one thing I think she could have done is gone straight back on IG, as 'just Meghan', but following the same formula as The Tig. She would have got a big following and would be raking in the cash from merching without having to do much work.

I do not believe that William and Catherine were fans of Suits, or even watched the show. The truth emerged that hapless had not watched it or heard of it, before she got in touch with him via a 'friend'. I would guess that even then, he did not watch the show but watched clips of it that were online.

Sandie,

I tend to agree with you about watching the show.

Given how much other family stuff they had, in addition to service to the Queen, but is/was watching TV their chosen down time if they had any?

Down time tends to be in spurts and splashes but not big chunks. When you watch TV, you want to see the whole episode - not watch a part and have to stop because a kid needs water or something. So down time is things which can be put down and picked up without missing anything even if it is a day, week later. Like puzzles. Or at least for us in this house.

Your vote of confidence makes me very happy! OTOH, since retirement from various volunteer positions to help people (because somebody has to do it) as well as various business activities (because we don't have a golden goose or money tree), I absolutely do NOT want to deal with the public at large. Ever again. At all. Been there, done that, I'm done. I will not even sell my excess eggs at the farmer's market. Since my friends and relatives are saying HELL NO to more eggs, the 29 dozen eggs in the garage fridge as well as four dozen on the kitchen counter and the 3 dozen or so I'll gather shortly will be turned into picked eggs OR freeze dried and powdered then vacuum sealed to be used in the next, oh, 20 years.

I'm not entirely antisocial, though. I wave at all the neighbors and the dump trucks and the logging trucks as I walk to the school bus stop to get my elementary-aged grandson after school in a no-sidewalk area. I even use all my fingers.

I've been asked to make baked goods to sell on food trucks but I'd have to have a commercial kitchen for that. Nope!

This is from his Companies filing for Travelyst. I think they were kicked out of Frogmore earlier, but a quick check confirmed that their lease did probably expire and was not renewed end of March 2023. They were subletting to Eugenie for at least a year before that.

Harry FINALLY cut ties with Britain: Exiled prince lists US as primary residence for first time - amid deportation fears over past drug use

Soon after announcing his and Meghan's decision to quit royal duties in 2020, the Duke of Sussex declared at a charity event: 'The UK is my home and a place that I love. That will never change.'

Four years later, much, it seems, has changed.

The Daily Mail can disclose that Prince Harry has updated his records in this country to make clear that he no longer lives in Britain.

Filings published by Companies House today for 'Prince Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex' record that his 'New Country/State Usually Resident' is now the USA. It was previously recorded as the United Kingdom. etc.
. . . . . . .
I wonder if this will affect his counsellor of state status. There is the thorny issue of domicile, domicile of origin or domicile of choice . If TO wants to stay in the US permanently and obtains American nationality, then he can legally apply for domicile of choice but you can't have more than one domicile at a time. In my humble opinion, I think he's still domiciled in the UK and this is the status quo.

This is just the sort of thing that the duo would attach themselves to: American Climate Leadership Awards. It seems to be about 'leadership' and policy rather than about innovative local solutions that can be scaled up, like the Earthshot Prize. And the emphasis on the EP is how to live more in harmony with nature at all levels.

I like the EP because, although it does not go far enough, it is working in the right direction.

Climate changes on planet Earth, with or without all the species that live here, including humans.

Most of the narrative is inaccurate and misleading. The hottest year in 1200 years? Really? Where are you measuring, and do you know how old Earth is?

Species have survived despite major climate change in the past, and huge natural disasters, shifting continents andsdo on. How? By migrating and being adaptable, among other things.

Because of geopolitics, the proliferation of the human species (billions of us), and socio-economic circumstances, migration and adaptability are incredibly constrained.

But this organization and the awards sound like something the duo will want to be a part of. They will have to have a gala evening and let her make a speech though!

Meghan Markle is reportedly worried about the long-term impacts of her childrens’ separation from their father’s UK-based family and misses “some aspects” of her brief UK life.

According to a new report, the Duchess of Sussex opened up to one of her few remaining friends in Britain about her concern that Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2, would grow to resent her in the future if they’re “deprived” of seeing their grandfather, King Charles, and their cousins.

“A friend of the couple - one of Meghan’s few aristocratic friends from her time in the UK - told me Meghan does miss some aspects of life in the UK and worries that her children will blame her if they never get to see their cousins and feel as adults that they have been deprived of what might have been a fun and meaningful existence in the UK as working royals,” royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror.

https://archive.md/2024.04.17-202900/https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/meghan-markles-big-fear-over-archie-and-lilibet-blame-her/news-story/bfb91be0832475886d418aff25d501ff

I think Tom Quinn is a highly questionable source. The children may indeed resent/blame both their parents one day, but no way would it occur to TBW that she is anything but the victim. And of course she has stories of the letters and gifts she sent the family, and the sweet nods, and she was rebuffed over and over again. It just does not sound like her that she would think her children may blame her that they are royals but are growing up completely estranged from royals and all that goes with royalty, including a relationship with grandpa king.

An interesting find ... posts about narcissists/psychopaths:

https://twitter.com/Meeeeghan1

A sample post:

----------
Narcissists/psychopaths like Markle punish when they are prevented from getting what they want.

The form of punishment is related to the perceived crime against them.

The Queen would not let them use the name ‘Sussex Royal’ for their business.

Markle therefore took the Queen’s name. She knew exactly what she was doing & that it would upset the Queen.

I don't believe for a minute that TOW is concerned about 'the long-term impacts of her childrens’ separation from their father’s UK-based family and misses “some aspects” of her brief UK life.' This is only an attempt to try and get back in the BRF. She doesn't want to lose all links with them, but this has nothing to do with sentiments and family, it's the financial cachet she can derive from the BRF. Is she worried about the children not knowing their American grandfather? What about when they ask about him? * is worried they 'would grow to resent her in the future if they’re “deprived” of seeing their grandfather, King Charles, and their cousins.', as per the news.co.au article, but there is no mention of heir other grandfather. This alone tells you all you need to know about her and her motives. If this is a hint to the RF that she needs to go to the UK and take the children, it won't work. She's so transparent.

Your post about narcissists/psychopaths is interesting. This is *'s MO.

Prince Harry chose the day he and Meghan left Frogmore Cottage as the date his formal US residency began, it has been revealed.

The couple reportedly moved out the last of their belongings from the Windsor property - which until then had remained their UK base after they moved to California in 2020 - on June 29 last year.

This is the date that the Duke of Sussex said he began living in America in new business documents disclosed by the Mail yesterday.

Filings published by Companies House for 'Prince Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex' record that his 'New Country/State Usually Resident' is now the USA, while it previously stated the United Kingdom.

Royal experts have said Harry was 'deeply wounded' by his father's order for him and Meghan to leave Frogmore, which had been a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth, with suggestions that he was making a point by choosing the date.
...

Wounded,maybe, but this sounds to me more like a fit of pique. They both made their decision to leave the UK (or jumped before they were pushed) but want to make sure they can come back when they want as if nothing had happened. They never think of the implications of their actions.

PDina spoke to Thomas Jnr. His sense of humour is not my cup of tea, so I don't watch his channel, but the guy is still sincere and reasonable in this discussion.

He asked his Dad about Doria being in prison ... some people claiming for 10 years. Thomas Snr says, No. Thomas Snr does remember Doria being missing for one of Meghan's birthdays (so missing for over 6 months because I assume she saw her daughter for Christmas in December but was AWOL for the birthday in August), but did not get an explanation why.

He says nice things about Christmas and Thanksgiving and birthdays with Doria and her family, and especially raves about the food. So, Doria can actually cook!

I think it is worth watching the video.

So many missed opportunities in this family and so much hurt because of a grand narssisistic liar, who thinks too much of herself, and her enabler husband and mother. My opinion.

I came across a wonderful suggestion of a product they can sell. Imagine a picture of his royal crest. Beneath it, in suitable script:

Royal Organic Weed
'Harry's Choice'
Montecito Harvest

If it is good weed, this product could be quite lucrative! I have known a number of potheads who like quality, and who are committed to a 'natural', organic lifestyle!
Nothing says quality in a lady like her handwriting so that woman fastens thin rat tails randomly in her letters and calls it calligraphy and voilà! we have a lady of quality!

Is anyone ready to guess how long it will take before she launches next product (all 50 pieces of it) and sends it with the lemons to her "friends"`?

(I presume she uses lemons for the sophisticated touch not because they are gratis from her garden)
abbyh said…
Lemons?

Maybe. Lemon curd is not that easy to find. I read that there is a microwave recipe which is a game changer for it though. I never remember it when I have lemons.

What is interesting is that the influencer crowd is not exactly super welcoming her attempts to join them at the summit. She's competition for space in that realm.



So he now has an official date of USA residency. Pinned down (how interesting). With tax season deadline earlier this week, I wonder if that impacts his taxes in some manner? Don't know as I don't know a lot about immigration.



thanks for the research on the show. I appreciate that (I would have no idea where to begin and I was unsure if it were potentially possible).

oh abbyh share the lemon curd recipe.

i think we have one of many story lines emerging: maybe kids should visit england. my guess she puts it out there. she doesn’t go. says they are in the custody of the elderly sick monarch because yeah the law. and voila no kids and more time for looking for me good gold bars. 😉. harry’s problem. not hers and she now a victim. she probably isn’t getting any money out of the brf from the brf if she and hairball divorce. so if she can’t monetize time to cut them loose and onto the next “deal” /“grift” but get the poor mom without her children. aw. likeable again? probably not but it could soften her image.

interesting on the domicile change in the lawsuit back dated to last year. why now? cali is a community property state. hmmm are debts equally shared too? i am so curious why now. did someone go to the lawyer or the judge and point out the address is wrong they are not legally allowed to reside there. and it does bring up the counsellor of state thing again but the domicile change was last year so any change in the COS looks less petty. you H acknowledged you have no UK domicile. or does he really want it that way so he can look the victim when inevitably something moved on COS. has he adopted the mrs victim narrative. will she be happy if poor harry gets better polling than poo meghan. so curious.

Microwave Lemon Curd
• 1 ¼ cup white sugar
• 3 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 3 medium lemon, zested


• Whisk sugar and eggs together in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Stir in lemon juice, melted butter, and lemon zest.
• Microwave on high in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Pour into small sterile jars.

So there is the requisite article about how he will be getting all kinds of money willed to him from his great-grandmother.  There were stories about Princess Anne as trustee (and not allowing earliest access to it all).  Whether or not any or all of this is true (there was money for him and/or other kids) has been debated with claims she actually died owing money with the Queen paying the debts to avoid scandal.  Don't know but I seem to remember that royal estates are shrouded from the public so we may not (ever) know. However, strange things like assisting in a book after repeated denials have popped up in legal papers so nothing is ever really predicable.   We are also seein...

The Opening Act of New Adventures in Retail

 I keep thinking things will settle down to the lazy days of spring where the weather is gorgeous and there is a certain sense of peacefulness.  New flowers are coming out. increasing daylight so people can be outside/play and thinking gardening thoughts.  And life is quiet.  Calm. And then something happens like a comet shooting across the sky.  (Out of nowhere it arrives and then leaves almost as quickly.)   An update to a law suit.  Video of the website is released (but doesn't actually promote any specific product which can be purchased from the website).  A delay and then jam is given out (but to whom and possible more importantly - who did not make the list?).  Trophies almost fall (oops).  Information slips out like when the official date of beginning USA residency.  (now, isn't that interesting?) With them, it's always something in play or simmering just below the surface.  The diversity of the endeavors is really ...
