Richard Eden had an article with the headline of how TO is "'running out of time' to rejoin Royal Family because William will be 'reluctant' to give his brother a role when he becomes King"
I thought: say what? "reluctant"? a "Hell No!" sounds more realistic.
Reluctant makes it sound like it is within the realm of possibility to still work things out between the two brothers. All the periodic chatter of extending olive branches periodically plays into that, doesn't it?
But do we really think, at this point after all (the interview, the various books - named names, photos raising lots of questions, press releases with crossed timing and some bit of news from a friend of theirs who is not named - why not?), it is possible for them to really play happy extended family all walking into the same sunset?
I don't think so (but I could be wrong - even really wrong - please don't ask about how wrong I've been about some stock decisions).
I'm just trying to think up how tolerant the family members "might be" willing to be around him (and or with her) and when or where it could be. Thinking not much. Maybe never? (there is a part of me which is wondering about how that will play out for King Charles' funeral - Operation Menai Bridge. I'd like to know, but also really don't want to have to hear that any time soon).
Or the recent news that they have not been invited to Balmoral (or Sandringham for that matter). Ouch. That's fond memories of happier days when life wasn't as crazy as it is today. (or maybe not - in Spare there was some snark, was there not, about not having some sort of bedroom appropriate to his status - pp 11 and 236).
In the first OS book, the one they "didn't" cooperate with supposedly until they apparently did, I remember something about how they, or he maybe, felt a lot of pressure to make it/their mark/some level of some sort of success or something as there was a strong enough feeling to make it into the book that Prince George (and the siblings) were breathing hard and fast on his/their footsteps to take over. And, when that was to happen, it sounded as if it was anticipated to be totally game over and no soup for you two. All or nothing.
That book was also highly skewed to how they outdid everyone else in the family (including his late mother) in the Down Under Tour. All kinds of numbers showing how wonderful they were perceived.
And yet, here they are now - not representing the BRF brother and, not living across the pond where cousins could play with cousins/second cousins more easily.
So, the comment from the King about having a nice life overseas may really have been the final word on how the family viewed it/them/their choice.
Comments
apparently, this is a good youtube channel for royal gossip
An interesting article examining how tightly they controlled coverage of their visit, including omitting audio from videos.
Her paid PR in the media ... still trying to make Duchess Meghan happen. Why? It is a made-up name because there is no such title. They would not be pushing it without instruction from her. Why is she doing this?
----------
I agree with a comment I read on Twitter. This "tour" is going to be a disaster for Meghan and Harry in the medium and long term
When the independent Colombian press does its investigative work, the conclusions are not going to be great... the British press will pick up the information and then the American press too.
We will associate Harry and Meghan not with leaders but with influencers who take advantage of economically unstable or economically fragile countries to use their money and get paid.
Meghan is in a mental turmoil. She is convinced that she is a leader right now.
-+-------
Meghan Markle who is convinced that she is the real royal and that she is a real diplomat that the BRF has underestimated.
I repeat myself but Meghan is completely convinced that she has succeeded in this tour and that she has created a new turning point. Except that she has spent more than 1 million on security and that she is not affiliated with any country to obtain contracts for this country so it is a financial loss. I will not be surprised if the Colombian government jumps during the next election.
Harry you visit countries that are almost on the brink of financial ruin to satisfy your ego and your lack of recognition.
Conclusion: it is almost back to school, the heads of state will return to service and will see again that they are not part of the forefront.

What struck me was the very great affection shown between Monarch and subjects - his visit was much appreciated and clearly helped bring comfort to many at this sad time.
I felt very moved and the tears welled up - but I also thought how very fortunate we are to have Charles III , a good man who clearly loves his people. His reign my prove to be all too brief but he will go down in history for his warmth and humanity.

Normal: My daughter is three and is talking. Like most toddlers ...
TBW: From above article:
We will never achieve true social justice, says Meghan Markle, unless we embolden girls and young women to “use their voice and be heard”. To this end, she told a conference on “Afro-Descendant Women and Power” at the weekend, she has always taken great care to “encourage” her daughter Lilibet through “the role-modelling I try to do as a mother”. And now, thanks to these efforts, she is “so proud” to report that Lilibet has “found her voice”.
I disagree with Arthur ... that hapless should call himself Harry Wales. He is not the son of the Prince of Wales.
As many have pointed out, take away the prince and HRH and leave him with the titles gifted to him by Elizaeth II when he got married.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Earl and Countess Dumbarton. Baron and Baroness Kilkeel.
Do the legal work so that he can use Sussex as a surname rather than Mountbatten-Windsor? The latter is his birthright so I think they should be magnanimous and let him use Mountbatten-Windsor as a surname. Let his children inherit his titles. They are forever tainted so William and Catherine would not want them to be passed on to their ancestors. But perhaps they should return to the Crown when he dies and in future a descendant of William and Catherine can try Sussex and overcome the 'curse'.
Have you seen the creepy photo of her posing with a group of kids and the completely inappropriate behaviour from the boy? Very disturbing.
She must stop all this hugging and grabbing on to people for the cameras.
mini tarot reading prince harry 20/08/2024
he wants a transformation in his life but he doesn't know which path to take. He feels stuck (I asked for his energy after this tour) he reflects on his life and several aspects of his life (he is approaching his birthday)
he has a broken heart, he feels hurt, he is waiting for money his inheritance ???
he hopes that this inheritance will open up happiness and healing for him. He hopes for a balance with Meghan too and financially.
he reflects, he seeks a solution to recurring problems. There is a concrete change in Meghan or in a woman on hopes, projects.
The wheel turns favorably here with good success, we hope to obtain something from the king or someone powerful money or an inheritance.
in conclusion I have a king of batons, with death a voluntary man undergoes a fairly important transformation or even petty in a relationship or in a couple. I don't know if it's William or if it's someone else but there is a transformation in a couple jealousy fascination desire power. Maybe Meghan with another man. This last part is quite strange.

mini tarot reading meghan markle 20/08/2024
in terms of abundance, she feels mixed, the media exposure was not very great.
She hopes for a rise in power, she is very happy even if there is criticism, she loved the security of being surrounded.
She is thinking about several options to get money.
She feels revitalized and ready to get more opportunity, glory, money but also prestige, she no longer wants to be in incantation but in action.
She is the one who worked on this tour.
she is happy because she feels she has taught the BRF a lesson (this is how we really work)
for her it is a triumph because she is the one who acts and builds this tour.
It is an opportunity to show her work to the world, how she has refined this tour.
She feels really blessed right now, it is a mental success for her. On the other hand, in their relationship, there is a small crisis that is setting in.
She is currently studying contract proposals.https://www.tumblr.com/mysteriouslytransparentwitch/759349575375110144/mini-lecture-tarot-reading-meghan-markle?source=share

Meghan Markle 'frustrated' by Prince Harry 'wasting his life' - 'It's easy for her to look forward'
Rebecca Russell & Kiesha Dosanjh
Wed 21 August 2024 at 10:56 pm BST·3-min read
As Prince Harry approaches his 40th birthday, it's been claimed that the Duke 'spends most of his time thinking of the past' reportedly pining for the love and affection he had from the British public before stepping back from Royal duties, according to one of his oldest friends.
"He's an angry boy. Things haven't turned out how he wanted, the confidant told The Times. "I think he misses being over here [in Britain] desperately and wants to be admired more. Anyone who knows him feels he'd rather be top of the pops here with everyone loving him, as they do with William and Kate."
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond gives her insight, and explains how this could be 'frustrating' for Meghan.
"If Meghan is encouraging Harry to leave the past behind and move on, then I think it is a healthy move. They have made their decision, left the working royal family and left the UK," she exclusively told OK!
Harry and Meghan left the family and stepped back from royal duties in 2020, to start their new life overseas, where they welcomed their second child, Princess Lilibet. Earlier this year, the Duke formally confirmed he was a US resident.
"He says he now regards the USA as home — at least for the time being," Jennie continues. "Brooding on the perceived injustices of the past and re-living old quarrels is a waste of a life, and I think Meghan sees that."
However, Jennie says it's 'easier' for Meghan to look forward, without the history with the royal family: "On the other hand, she doesn’t have an entire and complex history of life in the confines of the royal family to worry about. It’s easy for her to look forward…ensconced as she is in a country and lifestyle she is so used to and clearly loves.
But Harry has said he wants to be reunited with his family…so he is obviously going to think about what has happened and how they have come to this state of affairs," she continued, although she said this could be 'frustrating' for Meghan.
"And that’s probably quite frustrating for Meghan…who seems to be at ease with estrangement from her own family. I don’t think Harry spends 'all' his time looking back….but the Harry I knew as a young boy was someone who enjoyed fooling around with his family and having fun with them."
Although Harry made some 'bombshell revelations' in his memoir Spare, he also reminisced over fond family memories, as Jennie says it's 'only natural' he misses the connection.
"In his book Spare he writes about his fond memories of some of those family gatherings….and it’s only natural that he now misses that connection and perhaps is still considering ways of repairing the damage done in recent years.
Meghan, however, has I think consigned her brief dalliance at being royal very firmly to the past…except for the title and the kudos it brings," Jennie concluded.

apparently, she has green contact lenses on here during her trip to Colombia, and there's another photo that shows how she copied Catherine's hairstyle

You've outdone yourself with False Tart and Pros-echo. Genius! Thanks for the laugh.
But their (Harry's friends) scathing analysis of Harry’s new girl didn’t end there - and he said texts between the guests were fired between them as they left.
He claimed one said "Harry must be f*****g nuts" and that another said "she's a total nightmare". Prince Harry and Meghan's representative has been approached for comment.

No, he didn't. He defines it, what he does is protocol. As Prince Philip did at that naval dinner in near-tropical temperatures in hot, tight mess kit. He removed his `monkey jacket' saying `This, gentlemen, is bloody ridiculous!' and proceeded to loosen his collar and roll up his sleeves.
I wonder if one of those religious leaders is Welby, that arch meddler. If Charles is thinking of a truce with Harry, where does this leave *? Does she have to be included? H might well want a truce to include her and * will be pushing for it. As long as Charles is only 'contemplating' the possibility...

This appeared along with the video I mentioned above. Am still trying to find out about the channel - clearly of Indian origin. Curiouser and curiouser...
Christian forgiveness is seen now as more about letting go of how one feels about someone who has hurt you, than letting them walk all over you.
I imagine that Chartres, being High Church/Anglo-Catholic, ie rather traditional, would stress that neither H nor * should receive more conventional `forgiveness' without demonstrating truly contrite hearts.
As if.
The Telegraph described her coat/jacket as `camel'.
Hello! called it `tartan'.
I'd call it, however, `Prince of Wales check' - a checked lightweight tweed suiting, like that worn by Edward in the 30s, only he wore it in grey but here it's a light brown/beige.
Don't these journos know anything about fabrics?
.
Correct. The MoS called it 'a beige tartan Marlborough trench coat'. It's not tartan! Tartan is in multiple colours. The article was written by someone with a foreign name, a young one too I bet.
@BarkJack_
While H&MM’s personal engagements in Colombia were apparently "co-financed", it's understood that international agencies chipped in to help with the costs.
----------
Anyone have any ideas on who these 'international agencies' might be? My thoughts are that the Vice President tapped donation money given to the Colombian government. The couple may have dipped into Invictus funds as well.
Interesting article about how the duo insist on calling Catherine 'Kate', in their media statements and in the card they sent her after hearing about her cancer diagnosis. The article notes how the American media always use 'Kate Middleton', including this Daily Beast article, but it is actually rude.
The couple are like defiant toddlers.

There's a photo captioned `State Banquet' which is no such thing.
It's a civic banquet in Guildhall, in the City of London for the Emperor of Japan, I think.
Th chap in ermine is the Lord Mayor; Nutties may recognise the big fur hat at the back - worn by the Lord Mayor's sword bearer, seen at the Jubilee Service at St Paul's.
I find this sort of thing so irritating - our county council posted an article crowds in the High St of our county town, illustrated with a photo which I instantly recognised as Republic Street/Triq ir-Repubblika* in Valletta, Malta, confirmed on Google Earth.
When I pointed this out, the reaction was more or less `So what?'
What about eliminating `misinformation'.
I doubt that having his wife called Kate instead of Catherine is the highest thing on his list.

A new block of misleading accounts (albeit run by real people) located in Canada, will be involved in mass supporting Invictus Games.
Keep an eye out for those accounts. They aren’t bots, avatars may be ai generated. Our technical team picked up on this, lately.
----------
You will notice other key hallmarks of misleading accounts: unusual adoration for H&M
-anti-monarchist sentiments. -Engagement baiting tactics etc.
-using #s wrong titles etc or referencing them King/Queen
----------
They would be paid in some way yes, to manage several acct. It’s a public relations tactic some Hollywood firms still employ to this day, but also good publicists will seek to generate organic fandom. If none, they have to buy it for high profile image rehabs.
Impossible to cut and paste the text from the article because if all the ads and pop-up windows ... but an 'insider' spoke to OK magazine.
They are aware of the backlash for their Nigerian and Columbian tours, but are not sure what to do about it. (How about some real contemplation on the valid criticism?)
They love doing the tours and believe they do good by 'shining a light' on issues. (No, you get attention for yourselves and make no difference to the 'issues' you shine a light on'.)
They believe that these 'tours' elevate their standing in Hollywood, and they desperately want that. (You are a nightmare to work with, have no talent, and are grifters ... faux royal tours make no difference to that.)
Being cut off from their families kind of leaves them clinging to each other, and they believe makes them stronger as a couple. (A spouse should not be a permanent life raft. This is toxic co-dependency.)
I just wanted to say to @WBBM that Justin Welby gives me Paula Vennells vibes, nominally a person of the cloth, but one who seems motivated by something other than altruism, perhaps taking care of #!?
My purely uninformed opinion is that all of the 'reconciliation' stories are either plants from the gruesome twosome, or are made up by the 'royal reporters.' My guess is that the real royals aren't going to splash all of their personal emotions and interactions all over the media.
/Any reunion talk that doesn't include the words "titles removed" and "exiled to" sounds highly unlikely.
I am surprised they have not gone to Botswana, for a second honeymoon. However, I don't think they can grift off Invictus Games in Botswana, and would she dare to visit South Africa again after she told those fibs about the fire in the bedroom and called the ambassadorial residence a housing unit?
A great summary of the bullying of staff by TBW, supported by her husband. Recently, it has been reported that they had lost 18 staff in the last 5 years, but we established that in reality, it was more than a couple of dozen. Is the bullying still going on in America? I am surprised that no one has leaked that to the media, but perhaps everyone is afraid of being sued.
Inbaal Honigman on Tuesday took to tarot cards to predict Harry will seek the support of his friends in the UK as he prepares to unveil a new venture next month.
“Checking in with friends and contacts from the past, Harry is looking to old connections to help him target a project off the ground,” Mr Honigman said on behalf of Slingo.

I am thinking of taking out my tarot cards and doing a few readings for the duo, for fun. Gale force winds here for a few days, so a good way to distract myself while trapped indoors! (The headline calls her an astrologer, but the article seems to be about a tarot reading she did.)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BjuvdNMG0vo
Does she really think she can fool people? Apparently she screamed Ayr CBS producers after the interview as she wasn't prepared for that question. Showing her true colours once again.
Hank is off to New York in September to hang around some kind of UN climate thing. He is not included in the official programme for the week, but is going to hang around and have meetings with organizations he is a patron of or still connected to (African Parks etc ).
Guess who else will be in New York at the same time? William, for an Earthshot Prize summit. Pathetic Hank will just end up looking bad in contrast with his brother: the one calling on People magazine to get coverage in obscure places; the other drawing the crowds, getting full-on security and being treated with respect by city officials. It would be the final blow if William is invited to the UN to give a speech to a full auditorium!
I wonder if wife will join him to muscle in on some UN-related attention. Perhaps hapless will confront his brother in public ... sneak into the UN building, throw himself at his brother in front of everyone ... 'acknowledge me!'.
I will indulge myself in fantasy until September passes ... and nothing happens!
Definitely a 'duper's delight' smirk from her in that interview. His complete lack of interaction with her was also bizarre. Weird relationship dynamic! Perhaps he has heard the 'suicide' story so often that he is heartily sick of it. I bet he silently screams when he hears the dish soap story as well.

One of the amusing findings among Tom Bower's Revenge, was that there was growing irritation amongst the family towards TW's very light workload. As I recall, she also frequently used her 'pregnancy' to weasel out of engagements.
Given the fact that the Harkles married in May 2018, and they were working Royals throughout 2019, then left in January 2020, this amounts to roughly 18 months... 52 weeks+26 weeks=78 weeks, of which TW worked 72 days, which amounts to around 0.92 days per week...
I do wonder whether the 'freedom flight' was linked to the Harkles being asked to step up their engagements, to more than around 1 day a week...
https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1f30q6d/no_wonder_tom_bower_reported_her_workload_as/
An interview with her, via phone. Confirmed that she spends most of her time online looking at clothes, accessories (bags, shoes) and jewellery. The article claims her home is in Santa Monica, which is rather odd. In June she was seen doing a photo shoot in a Santa Monica public park. Some of her favourite restaurants are also in the area. Did NY Times simply get it wrong, or is this like the pre-engagement article that gave their date of meeting as during IG in Toronto, which was later changed to a later date, in London?
I thought, Gosh that sounds familiar with *'s siblings.
The family narc had a recent firework display in which I've been ordered to crawl back into hell from whence I came so I've been doing a lot of mental work on how different people can see the same experience and take away a totally not even the same universe view of what just happened here.
On this twitter thread, the first response is a video of Diana's two children. Harry and William are each given gifts by a well wisher, and Harry immediately rips the present from William's hand and gives his brother the gift he received. Already signs of jealousy and entitlement in young Harry.
I was going to say there's a bizarre photo of a pregnant' * here but when is a photo of her not bizarre?
Anyway, it's when she was supposedly expecting Archie.
It looks as if the bump is so high that she can put her hand under it level with the top of her hipbone, so Archie's almost in her thorax.

@abbyh
Hope you are ok. We all have our own perception of reality. A huge clue that someone is a toxic narc is when they are completely unaware of and couldn't care less about someone else's perception or experience, so they end up being very cruel to others. The worst is if you let their gaslighting make you question your own experience of reality and even sanity, so suffering is doubled.
@GWAH
Gone are the days when they were given important platforms, which they did not have to buy (albeit small amounts) through awards or fake total tours. Harris is rumoured to go through staff like TBW and hapless, so, behind her goofy 'nice' public persona, she may be quite problematic herself. She is not going to want the toxic couple anywhere near her, and for the Obamas, this election is too important to let the fake royals from California tarnish and damage the campaign to crown Harris in the White House. I don't think the eagerness of TBW to be involved is about genuine support for Harris or the Democrats ... she has never seen a global platform that she did not want to grab for herself .
‘There is no doubt that Harry wants to patch things up with the King,’ one source said. ‘His father’s cancer treatment has given things an added sense of urgency.’
It’s safe to assume this is the main reason Harry won’t be updating his tawdry memoirs with new comments about his relations. It’s also why he won’t be trying to sell more copies of Spare with appearances on chat show sofas.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry want them to have normal lives — and are in no rush to tell them about their royal heritage.
“They’ll have those conversations in due time,” a family friend shared in the latest issue of Us Weekly, adding that they want Archie, 5, and Lilbet, 3, to be loved for who they are as individuals. “They’re so well-mannered. Archie is sweet and curious and playful, and Lili is vibrant and happy.”
“I think every parent wants to share their kid with the world, but they just can’t,” they explained to Us. “[Prince] William’s kids, for example, have way more safety, even though they’re recognizable. And the same doesn’t apply to Meghan and Harry’s children. They know the world wants to see [them but] I would expect them to live smaller lives until that gets sorted, if it ever does.”
Despite their busy schedules with their Archewell foundation and their personal business ventures — including her American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand and an upcoming Netflix show —, Meghan and Harry are very hands-on-parents.
“They take the kids to school, they pick them up, and they are very active and present with them throughout the day,” the friend added.

'Duchess is ploughing money into small brands and then plans her outfits knowing the labels will get a sales boost'. Curious. I would have thought sane people would avoid her disastrous fashion choices. Does she also drink lots of Clevr blend coffee and eat tons of ARO jam?

For every ten brutally negative comments about TBW, there is one gushing 'I love her' type comment. Is Bouzy no longer taking her calls? Oh yes, X has eliminated most bots and it is too expensive to pay real people to sing your praises. Even the vile SS make a fuss if they do not get paid.
At least they say `Meghan lied'. We all (including the Royal Family) knew they did but we had no evidence that would stand up in Court - it was all circumstantial and couldn't be proved. Harkles would have wriggled and said we'g got it wrong eg they went to a secret branch of the Portland and had trained the stork to find them.
After you've given $/help over and over and over, to no avail. When finally you've had enough and tell the person to figure it out themselves, they tell everyone what a meanie you are.
They only asked for a place to stay for a few nights. Is that so much to ask?
Leaving out that last time time you let them stay over a few nights, they and their druggie friends stole all of your construction tools from the garage as well as your kids's bikes.
Thanks for the support people. I appreciate you.
I could have done some things differently than I did. I made some mistakes.
I just know that if it had not been X, then it would have eventually been something else which set them off.
Re the bizarre PR, what stuck out for me was “[Prince] William’s kids, for example, have way more safety, even though they’re recognizable. And the same doesn’t apply to Meghan and Harry’s children." Is this what the PR is about?
And when H&* do eventually tell the children about their royal heritage, what will happen when the children say they want to meet their cousin's and the rest of the RF? I bet this is something they haven't thought through, like everything they do.
I like your revised nursery rhymes, both very good. 'My Whey or the High-way', well done.

Some are childhood `sweethearts' , others I've never heard of. All were short . The thing with the ice-hockey player is called an encounter' .
Thanks for this.
There are no details as yet.
'A local in Snettisham, Norfolk, said: “We never saw them speak to each other and they kept their distance.”
The princes both “discreetly” attended the funeral for Lord Fellowes — who was their mother Diana’s brother-in-law.
They were said to have kept their distance from each other and sat at the back of the church.
Sources close to US-based Harry had previously claimed he would not attend.'
I don't think anyone expected anything else.
Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex both attended a memorial service for their mother’s brother-in-law Lord Robert Fellowes on Thursday.
Prince Harry flew from his home in the US to join his brother at St Mary’s Church in Snettisham.
The memorial service took place close to the royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
A source who attended the service confirmed to the BBC that both of the brothers had been in attendance.
A church warden who wished to remain unnamed told the BBC: “It was wonderful that both princes were able to attend their uncle’s memorial service yesterday at St Mary’s Church.
"The service was a lovely family occasion celebrating the life of such a special man.
"Many friends were also present and also many members of the St Mary’s Church family."
According to the Sun, the brothers "kept their distance" at the service and were not seen to speak to each other.
https://www.tumblr.com/is-mayo-an-instrument/749423414170845184/in-this-reading-i-saw-funding-issues?source=share
In this reading, I saw funding issues.
State of Business - King of Hearts (empathy/sympathize/love), 10 of Diamonds (stable/huge sum of money/tradition), 5 of Clubs (conflicts/fights/arguments), Ace of Diamonds (new job/fortune/stability)
During my recent reading, I observed Meghan experiencing distress over the potential failure of her business. I also saw Harry aiding Meghan in some way. However, I'm uncertain whether he would personally invest his own funds to help her.
These cards suggest the involvement of a wealthy individual, possibly a King of Hearts, who has shown interest in financing this endeavour. He also hails from a background of inherited wealth. While my speculation leans towards Harry, it remains plausible that he may not be the figure in question. Regardless, indications point towards a significant dispute concerning finances and the project at large.
Strategy - 7 of Diamonds (hard work/manifest/plans), Jack of Diamonds (hard work/loyalty/determine), The Fool (naive/childlike/joy/random)
Meghan's strategy seems to lack a clear blueprint. I'm only seeing hope for the venture's success and longevity.
It's quite interesting. Despite this being her passion project, she's still experimenting to see what sticks. It seems the priority lies in creating products that resonate and fit with the brand's aesthetic, rather than moulding aesthetics to the products. Basically, she's aiming to sell the aesthetic of American Riviera Orchard. Therefore, I'm expecting a lot of random products from her business in the future.
Overall, American Riviera Orchard is encountering difficulties with funding and a deficiency in strategic direction. It's uncertain whether the business will thrive. While marketing an aesthetic can work, it remains unclear if this particular aesthetic will captivate people's interest.
Dynamic - 5 of Spades (failure/pride before downfall/abuse/surrender), Queen of Clubs (courageous/independent/confident)
Something failed. It's not their relationship. Surprisingly, I think their relationship has gotten better. Unlike last time when I kept seeing a separation between the two.
This failure I'm seeing feels like a project that Meghan was working on. I think it's the American Orchard thing. The Queen of Clubs tells me that Meghan has a lot of confidence in this project. It can also possibly indicate someone else. Likely an investor or someone that can play a major role in Meghan's new business.
Meghan - 4 of Spades (fear/worries/solitude/withdrawal)
I see Meghan worrying and withdrawing herself from everyone.
It's hitting Meghan quite hard because she had a ton of hope in this thing. I'm not saying that her whole endeavour has failed. I'm only seeing an aspect of it getting terribly affected.
Harry - 6 of Diamonds (support/charity/funds)
I'm actually seeing Harry worry about Meghan's emotional well-being. He's supporting her as much as he can. However, I'm also seeing Harry helping Meghan's business.
This card is a money card which makes me think that there are some issues with investors or just funds in general. I see Harry reaching out to anyone who can invest in this business. He might be pulling out money from his own pocket too.
Overall, it seems like there are some money issues for a specific endeavour that Meghan is working on and Harry is helping as much as he can.
No revelations except that the reverend didn't see where H and William were seated - or else is keeping a diplomatic silence - that 'a potentially more formal celebration of Lord Fellowes's life was still being considered to take place in London at a later date.'
I wonder if Harry was worried about security. There is no information as to how he flew, whether commercial or private.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13796809/Prince-William-Harry-Lord-Fellowes-memorial-service.html
Reverand Tansey says that both brothers attended the reception after the memorial service but he did not see them interacting with each other. Interesting that William did leave the church ahead of his brother, which is the appropriate protocol.
... The brand's Instagram page and website also remain bare with no option yet for customers to buy products.
... 'I would have major concerns if I was an investor ,' PR and brand marketing expert Matt Yanofsky told The Times.
But records show that in July – some four months after requesting to register it – there were a number of 'irregularities' which needed to be 'corrected'.
The US Patents and Trademarks Office notified the Sussexes' lawyers of various issues, including incorrect classification of yoga blankets, picnic baskets and recipe books.
And the agency said that fees are due to various bodies around the world to register the trademark – totalling $11,382 (nearly £9,000).
There are also reports that Meghan has so far been unable to hire a permanent chief executive for American Orchard Riviera.' ...
So no surprises there.

The truth about IG ... William was heavily involved in setting them up (he was the actual brains behind it), he donated his settlement from the phone hacking (one million), and when hapless and TBW flounced off, he gave another substantial donation, and him and Charles were there supporting the first games. Also, William handed out the first medal, and the IG is supposed to raise money to support wounded veterans (housing, rehabilitation), and not be spent on the duo for their first class expenses.
We have all always known the truth, but everyone should stop protecting hapless and make this information mainstream.
IMO, for the IG to survive and return to its original mission, it needs to get rid of the costly deadwood. The duo get a lot of publicity for themselves, but actually take attention off the athletes and spend rather than raise money.
She jumped the gun in launching a non-existent company. Why? If I think reasonably, I would say she needed investors and she wanted to show that she was hugely popular and the business would do very well. However, it may just be the narc wanting to get attention and her tendency to have delusions of grandeur. They employ so many staff and yet they cannot get a trademark application right. And, without a CEO, how can she have a business plan?
As I said in a previous post, if she was wise and savvy, she would make ARO an influencer company. She finds a brand she likes and gets them to put her label on a product, for which she gets a slice of the profits. In addition, she can use her website to solicit sales, which she simply passes on to the producer for another percentage of the profit. For any reasonable person, this is a simple business model, but I suspect she would even mess up such a scheme.

If you look through the slides, it seems that she donated a pair of shoes from the wardrobe on the set of Suits, and not her own.
She is not on the list of celebrities in this piece of PR for the charity:
https://www.looktothestars.org/charity/shoe-revolt
"The organization auctioned shoes and donated the funds to its chapters called Teen Revolt, whose purpose was to educate young people to fight human trafficking. Similar to Archewell, the organization had a lofty goal but paid lip service to its mission. The victims never saw a dime. Shoe Revolt and its subsidiaries have since been shut down aka “Markled”, and some may suggest Archewell is heading in the same direction."
Haughty coquette du jour - this sums her up, * in a nutshell.

I think she is online shopping all the time, so she will keep it for a while before wearing it.
Hapless is seeking a return to the royal fold. Nothing is said about his wife, nor the security he is fighting for, nor the apology to his wife that he has been demanding. He wants to be a part-time working royal, living part time in the UK. This is what they have always wanted.
What do you think?
I think she is fuelling this ... she has a grudge, and she won't let it go until she gets what she thinks she is owed. I think she is delusional. And where are they going to live? Frogmore Cottage, or are they going to be demanding Windsor Castle again? I doubt that they have the money to actaully buy and maintain a grand residence. Royal Lodge?
And since the assumption that Meghan, Bouzi, and Sussex Squad use Brazilian bots/bot farms to attack the BRF on Twitter is very plausible, there's a very, very strong likelihood that Sussex Squad will be impacted by Twitter Brazil being shut down.

Duke of Sussex asks former aides to help plot RETURN from his US exile in first stage of 'rehabilitation' strategy: Prince's friends vow to help smooth path back and dub it 'Operation Bring Harry In From The Cold'
Are they separating/separated? Or else, H is publicising the idea in an attempt to soften the British public and the RF. He can buy a property in the UK to use for holidays or short visits, on condition that he stays there incognito - we don't want to know - but what does he expect? To be accepted back with open arms? He can't return to his previous life and status and needs to realise it.
Also, '...another American PR adviser. Christine Weil Schirmer joined the Sussexes in 2020 as head of communications but left quietly late last year.' (my emphasis). An other one bites the dust.

I get the impression that he'd be tougher about H showing genuine contrition than Welby would be (after all, he was smitten/taken in by * ). Harry alone is responsible for his own spiritual welfare, or lack thereof, he is the only one who can improve matters for himself and there's n sign yet that he is capable of recognising that.
The picture one gets is of a (severely) mentally challenged person who has no idea in the world what he has done. And that he might be responsible of the reactions he is getting.
"Daddy, I want to come home and I want that you and the taxpayers start paying my life again like before my freedom flight and later I will inform you all what I want to do and what I do not want to do so I don't feel trapped. And send me some money that I can hire a private jet home."

This is all so murky. Who are the 'philanthropy and international agencies' that financed the trip to Colombia? And, if you scroll down the comments, you will see that 'participation guarantees of the Duke of Sussex' are included in the costs to the Colombian government. It is all very odd.
Didn't * have an affair with an American politician? I think he was a politician and he had a very high post. I can't remember his name but it was rather unusual. It was either an affair or that was, shall we say, a commercial transaction. American Nutties should remember.

‘It was a genuinely big surprise,’ one source told The Mail on Sunday.
All these pr stories about Hazard and Maud is just annoying and making me sick of them due to over saturation of their ridiculous drama, hurt feelings, olive branches, security concerns, divorce rumors, etc. Spinning wheels remain stationary. I wish they would go away, knuckle down and work on one or two important projects ( PC has Early Childhood Development and PW has Earthshot and homelessness) and after several years of efforts, talk with the press about their progress. They always exclaim upcoming $$$ making projects-they’ll be billionaires I tell you- and then nothing happens after the media clarion call.
In their forties , * is back to being an influencer whose time has come and gone and H at 40…???
So far, this is the closest they have got:

Real story on this may shock you❗️
•Plans are in place should Harry divorce & have to return to UK.
•There is an Operation Name (top secret of course). But it’s not for the event Prince Harry wants to relocate & re-integrate at whim. & Not an invitation to return.
----------
What if he divorces&wants to stay in the US? There’s an assumption that if his marriage fails he will come ‘home’ but he’s said the US is his home .
What about kids access?Or if he wants to return but stay away from the RF- buy a house in Devon,say&live off grid on his own.
----------
Precisely. He’s on his own now.
The “intervention” or “Operation” only applies should he require return.
----------
If I knew… I would but this information is coded & highly encrypted.
I can only confirm the existence of a ‘crisis management’ plan wrt Harry should he ever require a return to UK due to familial dissolution; & fwiw I assume this plan includes his children or their wellbeing.
Thanks. Yes, that's him! I did think his first name was Steve. How * ended up at a function at the White House and photographed with him is a mystery. There's no reference to him and * on the internet, yet I'm sure there was a mention of those two together a few years ago. Maybe the 'interaction' was a one off of the pay per play variety.

Here to debunk a rumor Wills is encouraged or plans to “bring back H”; not true.
H cannot return as is now. Only potentially be accommodated (& not in a working Royal way) in the extreme event of Divorce or familial breakdown.

Can’t believe the number of people think that Harry wants a reconciliation. He wants leverage & content to sell. He might be convincing a few people he’s changed, but it will only be to weaponise them to fight his battles for him. He does not want peace because he’s not sorry.

'Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is content with his life in California and has no plans to resume Royal duties in the UK, The Telegraph reported citing sources.'
Apparently, H 'has built a strong circle of friends around his wife, Meghan Markle, and is involved in several new ventures'.
Which is it, H misses the UK and is rather lost in California or is he living the life?

I know that marriages are `made' by the couple and a year together is taken as evidence that this has been accomplished. This was assumed to be an absolute rule when I raised my doubts near the start but, from my experience as a plaintiff, there are usually layers of subclauses and exemptions underlying such a rule and it is nowhere near as absolute as one might think.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the rug were to be pulled from under their feet when they file for divorce?
`Sorry old chap, you can't get a divorce because you weren't legally married in the first place - and tough luck, Meghan, you're not entitled to a penny.'
The crowning irony is that they could end up in gaol, after a trial conducted in the name of the King.
A girl can dream, can't she?
A girl can dream. And this about it - if those two are not legally married, then the children are illegitimate and can't be in the LoS, can they?
I have a copy of the MoS article which you were looking for. I can't be bothered to read it, I've only glanced at it quickly - it's a bit long - but this article sums it up, or some of it, I think. If I have time, I'll read the article and will sum it up.

...On August 31 the Patent Office denied her application, saying that businesses are not allowed to trademark geographic locations, including the nickname of the coastline around the Sussexes' Santa Barbara, California, home: 'the American Riviera'. ...

She starts about H's return at about 10".
https://youtu.be/Zs2LXTwtgYE?feature=shared
I'll try and copy or paraphrase the main points of the MoS article you wanted.
It was a copmmon belief among H's friends that he had become a 'strangely sulky figure, given to sermonising and self-centred psychobabble and taking pot shots at his family.'
H did not just message old chums, 'he has consulted at least one former aide from his days as a working royal'.
'The overtures herals what sources refer to as early steps towards what they hope will be H's 'rehabilitation' and, possibly, a partial return to the royal fold. Willing to forgive and forge, friends have responded positively and want to actively help him smooth a path back to the UK' [I say BS].
The source hopes that H will call 'quality time' in the UK. What this is is not explained. Apparently, 'a plan for a way forward has already been prepared'.
'One friend has devised a strategy for how H might begin to start moving in UK circles again.' ... 'This person believes there is a real chance H could even carry out very low key royal duties again one day.' [I can't see it] The 'source' believes H could come back with no publicity, attend very mundane events and prove himself. ... 'It could happen one day if certain member of the family could find it in themselves to allow it'. [I see this as a dig to W&C]
'Friends want a commanding figure to lead the comeback campaign'... There's a mention of Edward Lane Fox, his former right-hand man.
H is cut off from his oldest friends. 'There's a feeling back at home that it's unsustainable'. ... 'His friends are now able to overlook these deeply wounding comments' [as written in Spare] and believe his orignal intention was 'not malicious' so there's 'a path to forgiveness for him'.
Apparently, H is less embittered these days. 'Repairing his realationship with his father, if not his brother, is seen as an achievable aim'. This certainly remains to be seen.
Well, that is rather inconvenient for her! Of all the lawyers they use, not one could give her advice for this trademark application? Of all the time she spends on the Internet, shopping and looking for ideas, she couldn't find information on how to successfully trademark a business, or write a coherent business plan, or ...?
I have always thought she should trade on her name as it is well known ... call her influencer business 'Just Meghan' or something like that. Stop being so pretentious and just be yourself. You love shopping and getting attention so get a lot of attention persuading people to buy stuff you like and work out some kind of deal that gives you a percentage of sales.
And I suppose it would be too much to ask her to find a conscience and awareness of others and publicly apologize to her family, the royal family, and the British people. We can send you a list of what she has to apologize for because we have been keeping score. Then, every day, she can try to be a better person as she merches her way through life, doing pap walks every day, and perhaps a gushing interview with Hello magazine now and then to tell everyone how wonderful your latest favourite product is.
Re ARO, it's not just te trademark application.
* 'a slew of problems with her filing – including her apparent failure to sign the correct documents.' (it's either carelessness/negligence or else she was never serious about the project)
* 'The USPTO admonished the Duchess for giving vague descriptions of her products that could fit into multiple trademark categories.'
* 'The office said her brand's proposed 'cocktail napkins' could be paper or textile – two different categories – and her 'cooking utensils' could be manual or electric.'
* 'American Rivera Orchard soft launched earlier this year as a lifestyle brand that will sell products such as jams and cookbooks
American Rivera Orchard soft launched earlier this year as a lifestyle brand 'that will sell products such as jams and cookbooks'
* 'The refusal even included a screenshot of another Santa Barbara business's product already using the term 'American Riviera'.
*The screenshot showed that the site sbcoastalcandles.com sells an 'American Riviera' candle for $34.95.
* 'Registration is refused because the applied-for mark is primarily geographically descriptive,' the Office said in its Saturday filing.'
In short, she never undertook the project seriously, she had, and still has, no CEO and the whole thing is/was slapdash.
The irony is that after all of the drama, lies, pain, pr nonsense, alienation, etc of the last 6+ yrs with * in the news, she is back from whence (it’s all very Shakespearean) she started.
Wow, that is so sloppy.
I am bemused. What is the problem? It is not difficult to get these trademark applications correct. If you need professional help, the duo have numerous lawyers on speed dial.
What was she trying to achieve, and why did she get it so wrong?
So, the information you have given indicates that the ARO is dead before official launch. She attended two business gatherings, and publicized that, supposedly looking for investors and looking fir a CEO, for a figment of her imagination.

Prince Harry will not return to royal duties unless William apologises, but would be willing to 'help out' the Firm if asked by his father, a report has claimed.
Sources close to The Duke of Sussex have suggested he is happy with his decision to quit his royal role, the Mirror reported.
But they claim he would be open to a temporary role within the Royal Family if asked to help out by his father.
It comes after the Mail on Sunday revealed last week that the Duke had turned away from his 'Hollywood publicists' and had resorted to texting former confidantes 'from his old life' on how to mastermind a return from exile in the US.
However, sources stressed Harry and Meghan, who have spent the past four years living in California with their two children, are not seeking a permanent return.

Posted by ent lawyer at 6:30 AM

Perhaps I am in stubborn denial, but I do not think divorce is on the agenda. She cannot afford to lose him.
I think he may genuinely love her. I think he does get frustrated and annoyed with her, as we have seen, but he now knows her ... that she needs to be the centre of attention, pushes him to the background, is compelled to control and dominate, is a fantasist, and so on. On the Nigeria trip, he was being presented with gifts, ceremonially. She leapt up, pushed her way forward, and grabbed a gift that was meant for him. I don't know if a narc is capable of feeling shame or embarrassment or has any awareness of making a huge faux pas in public. But, on that occasion, he reached out and soothed and physically showed her affection and protection. I have seen him do that before and subsequently.
The children are a huge incentive for him to stay with her, even if he should fall in love with someone else and be tempted to leave her. I don't think reconciliation with his family and friends in the UK is enough incentive for him to leave her, and certainly not while he still loves her. I suspect that his love for her is genuine and committed, through good times and bad. It is not the modern way of love and marriage, but especially because of the awful breakdown of his parents' marriage, both him and his brother love and commit the old-fashioned way.
I agree that the clap back about how happy he is was from her. The actual source was The Mirror, one of the outlets she uses for PR.
I think she is very invested in the image of their lives being like a happy Hallmark movie. He is probably more realistic, but because he gets frustrated and annoyed by her behaviour and how he has to pander to her delusions of grandeur, does not mean he does not love her and will leave her ... I think he is far more realistic about the marriage.
She won't leave him (or kick him out) unless she can nab a billionaire who will marry her and sign a prenup that is to her advantage (highly unlikely) or she can make multi millions in her own right (also unlikely). Surely she knows by now that the bits of income she gets from what she has squirreled away and invested, from residuals and from the couple of small companies she has invested in are just not going to be enough? Surely she has realized by now that there would not be a huge payout from the royal family nor continuos support? I don't know how stupid she actually is and how far her delusions go, but I may be wrong and she has not thought about all that, and is deluded enough to think she is the superstar, not him. True, she will always be papped, but so is Katie Price!
She regards the failure to get the trademark 'routine and expected', and says that a way round the problem is to simply to have a disclaimer that she does not claim exclusive use of the term 'American Riveria'. So, why did she not do that from the start? And why is she ignoring all the other problems with the trademark application? Documents not signed. Fees not paid.
In comments in various places I am seeing so many people wake up to the fact that the woman who boasted about being so smart is actually as thick as two planks.
“Harry is a broken record at this stage,” William’s pal told the Daily Beast. “We all know he would love to be given a part-time royal role, but Queen Elizabeth was very clear that he couldn’t be half in and half ou
The pal added, “Whoever is promulgating these ludicrous theories on Harry’s behalf is simply pretending to not get the message that he is not wanted. They are either very thick or pretending to be.”

'There will be no reunion until Harry and Meghan apologise to their Royal Highnesses for everything they have said,' one former courtier told me. 'And there is no sign that is likely.'
A friend of the royals told me: 'It's hard to see a reconciliation. How could there be when William and Catherine have the justifiable fear that anything they say could appear in a future book or be repeated in a TV programme.'
In a reference to Catherine, who has been undergoing treatment for an unnamed form of cancer, a pal of William told me: 'There is one member of the family who William is keen to see returning to public engagements – and it's not Harry.'
Thank you for your legal opinion - my virtual cheque is on it's way.
It was a very slender hope that there might be an exception deep in the Royal Marriages Act but I doubt whichever of the George's it was behind the Act could possibly have imagined the situation we are in now.
If only she had another marriage few had heard of, even one ending in an invalid divorce like the one I heard that preserved the abandoned wife's pension rights...
Perhaps the royal lawyers know we don't and the age of miracles is still with us.

Begging everywhere
They’re forever causing troubles
Petty troubles

The RF website has been updated - It now states that "Only working members of the Royal Family are called upon to act as Counsellors of State."

The source for the above is the Harry Markle blog. I question the information. We know that she spends a lot of time and money shopping online, so I am sure she knows the site well. However, she does not make jewellery so would have to partner with a company. What losses would QVC have had if they declined the deal because the quality of the merchandise was too bad?

Another 'heartfelt' video from him about IG. I fail to see the purpose of these videos, other than to make him feel useful and to maintain presence in the public eye. I may be wrong, but this kind of video does not make people excited about the athletes or the competitive nature of the games, nor does it attract donations to cover costs (especially for him and his wife) and a fund to support disabled veterans.

Strange how these thesps think there opinions are so important.

He will be spending more time in the UK.
He wants to repair broken family relationships, especially with William and Catherine.
He/she fears for her safety in the UK.
She won't visit the UK because she is much too busy working.
Because of safety issues and her being so busy working they already do spend time apart.
She also has an issue with trusting the royals again.
I have been adamant that they will not separate or divorce, but this sounds like a separation, or at least living apart, on different continents, with him away from his children, for a lot of the time. Countdown to divorce?
I love Bombay Duck, or at least used to (can't get it nowadays). Please don't use it and * in the same sentence! 😉

Does anyone else think this might have been the weirdest week in H&M watching to date? It went from 'Harry was a hero because he showed up at his uncle's memorial service without making it all about him (unlike his time during his Grandmother's lying in state/funeral service). Followed by a relative quite week of journalists just repeating the story Harry wanted from this. 'He was well mannered and cordial. And spent the weekend with his Uncle Charles'. And 'he's enlisted old friends and courtiers to help him with a come-back'. And now today, just 7 days later to: 'Meghan will never return to UK without full security for each member of the family'. And 'Harry will require that William, "Kate", Camilla, and Charles each give Meghan a personal apology followed by a press conference where all 4 confirm they have apologized. Then Harry will consider filling in IF ASKED'. WTF??
I can't figure out if Harry went off script and Meggy is mad. Or if Harry expected this to be the most amazing gesture of atonement anyone has ever performed and he's pissed because he was so magnanimous but daddy still isn't returning his calls.

"Behind the joint facade, in reality, grimace soup has been on the menu for months at the Sussex household."
----------
(At the beginning of the article, it talks about Meghan's embrace of small, unknown companies.)
"....A commendable initiative, isn't it? Yes, but not only that. Because behind this honorable attitude hides in reality a very lucrative system. Before showing off with a new brand, Meghan invests money in it, once the object is worn, sales take off, and all she has to do is collect the profits. Smart! The Duchess of Sussex has already repeated the operation between five and ten times. A career as an influencer is opening up to her. But beware of the fraud squad, because putting marbles in a box that we know will be a hit tomorrow could make us think of insider trading... "

A nice summary in the article. It seems to me that the royal family are following the three basic guidelines given:
----------
1. Gray Rock the Narcissist
Unlike a typical narcissist who exaggerates their own self-importance, malignant narcissists feed off any form of attention they can get, regardless of whether it's positive or negative.
To combat this behavior, Delta advised that people should 'gray rock' the narcissist by removing any and all emotional responses to their actions.
2. Give the malignant narcissist the illusion of power and control
If going no contact isn't an option, Delta advised viewers to manipulate the malignant narcissist by flipping the script and giving them the illusion of having power and control over you.
3. Go No Contact
The first and foremost important step you should take when dealing with a malignant narcissist is to completely cut contact with them, Delta said.
"The Beckhams are said to be among VIP invitees at an A List party Meghan is throwing for Harry at their $14.7 million mansion in Montecito, California on Sunday night. Other guests reportedly include near neighbours and friends Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ellen DeGeneres and pop stars Katy Perry and Ariana Grande, as well as Hollywood power brokers and Harry’s polo pal Nacho Figueras.
But a business source close to one invitee said last night: “All eyes will be on the Beckhams – if they come – and how they interact with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following a lot of stories about their big falling out."
