If you're a Beatles fan, you'll know that in the fifty years since the group went its separate ways, almost everyone involved with them has sold his or her story. Only one major figure has not: Jane Asher , who was Paul McCartney's girlfriend for five years during the heyday of the group, and accompanied him on the famous trip to India in 1968. An actress, Jane went on to become a TV personality and famous cake-baker. She has never spoken about her time with McCartney and dislikes being asked. Until recently, the Sussex saga had included a similar figure: Trevor Engelson, Meghan Markle's ex-husband. Trevor has never spoken about Meg. But he has done well for himself: he married a wealthy woman , continues to work as a producer , and seems to have a loyal (and multi-racial!) circle of friends , unlike some people we know. He appeared to have excused himself from the whole soggy mess. Until yesterday, when he was papped. Driving his black Porsch...

So Hairy is telling Putin to stop the war, and Trump to back the Ukrainians. Who does he think he is? His father?
Also, I think Hairy's US visa is under review, so this would be a good time not to annoy Trump and the US administration. Maybe * put him up to it, hoping he would get deported, and so she would have a reason not to live with him any longer.
Charles won't meet the gruesome twosome, there won't be time in his schedule but they'll try anything to be in the news. Cue more whining and sailing that Pa doesn't like him/is cruel etc, hence H is a victim.
Hairy says he'll always be part of the royal family (except the part about working
he really needs to shave his head.

It seems that the UK government encouraged him to go to Ukraine and may have even written his speech for him - the one where he tells the USA and Trump to live up to their promises to Ukraine to support them during the war. Starmer is obsessed with Ukraine. Hairy's travel was arranged by the British government, and the King was informed afterwards by the government. No permission was sought from the King for Hairy's travel.
All of this happened days before the King is to travel to the USA to try to repair bridges but the Americans must know that Starmer is behind all of this. Odd way of carrying out foreign relations.

Interesting thoughts -but how did you reach this conclusion? Where was it reported?
but it all makes sense because in order to get to Kiev unharmed, someone has to tell the Russians that a train coming from Poland to Kiev has a VIP passenger and not to harm it. I doubt that Hairy's team has that kind of reach. So, it had to be the British government. And, if they had cleared it with the King or Buckingham Palace prior to the event, it wouldn't have happened on some pretense of security, or some other reason.
I watch a lot of youtube videos on geopolitics, especially The Duran, where there is a very knowledgeable Brit who never loses an opportunity to tell us how obsessed Starmer is with Ukraine.
OK...

When history will be written the book Spare by Prince Harry will not be quoted because there is nothing of relevance for anyone There will be many books about Elizabeth II, Charles III and William V for they all create the history with their personalities and their weaknesses and their strengths.
That whimpering and whining nobody will be forgotten because he will not do anything worth of remembering.
H may be remembered - as the evil son. He'll join Tostig, King John, Richard III & Edward VIII in the Rogues Gallery of Royalty and she'll be mentioned in the same breath as Isabella, the She-Wolf of France, rather then Wallis.

This plucky and determined lady from S.Wales was one of the original critics of the Harkles who worked relentlessly to expose them, as well as Doria, and their nasty ways. She suffered at the hands of the Sussex Squad and of Bouzy but I had profound respect for her.
May she rest in peace and be thoroughly vindicated.
Well, I don't think he even qualified for one at Buck House here, back in the day. I've read that the RF treats these occasions as serious work events, not jollies. They are diplomatic events where Royal participants have to be very circumspect about what they say and have to listen as much, or even more, than they speak. Apparently, there ae debriefing sessions afterwards in which reports are given about any intelligence gathered.
Harry went to just one IIRC, presumably he didn't pass the test.
(P.S: I must admit that I have always had a soft spot for Isabella of France. There is many things you can say about her, but boy! how she lived!! never a dull moment.)
I've probably misquoted but you get the idea.
I don't know if it was the same article, Celia Walden had an article in the DT on * and the hardship she's endured. She's 'convinced she [*] would instantly be 99 per cent more appealing to people if she dropped the whingeing.'. You don't say!

A big headline article about their lack of success. There are a few things in this article that surprised me:
1. Lauren Sanchez invited * to some events but * turned her down? I am surprised by both.
2. The box of chocolates with 10 squares that Serena Williams was seen opening in her video costs $58. Are they crazy?
3. That there are certain brands of clothing that are interested in having her as their spokesperson, like J. Crew, but she doesn't consider them fancy enough for her.
' 'She's spiralling badly': How Meghan and Harry have burned ALL their bridges as insiders reveal spectacular fallout with Anna Wintour and Kardashians, money woes - and 'problems' that are worse than anyone realises
|
The first Monday in May is the most dazzling night in the fashion calendar, when the most wealthy, famous and influential people gather for the Met Gala in New York.
The event on Monday will be chaired by Vogue boss Anna Wintour – who has been in charge of it for more than 30 years – alongside tennis player Venus Williams, actress Nicole Kidman and singer Beyonce.
Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos are the sponsors.
Not attending? The Duke and Duchess of Sussex – yet again.
Even though Meghan has plenty of fashion ambitions and pretensions – and, as we shall see, fashion is one of the revenue streams which she is hoping will help fund their lifestyle – the pair have once more failed to secure an invitation.
The Montecito duo were also, unsurprisingly, absent from all events during King Charles’s state visit to the US this week.
As if to further underline their persona-non-grata status, even Prince Harry’s boyhood friend Guy Pelly was at a White House garden party with his wife this week – yes, the same teenage tearaway who was by Harry’s side when he notoriously dressed up as a Nazi.
President Trump only reinforced the Sussexes’ unpopularity when he remarked to my colleague Robert Hardman that Harry had done ‘too many things’ to come back to the fold of his family, adding: ‘That wife of his. Boy, what she’s done to that guy.’
And yet – and it feels as inevitable as a tolling bell – the Sussexes still found a way to insert themselves into the media discourse this week.' (cont'd)
Speaking to sources in California, the story told is one of wall-to-wall fall-outs and alienation.
Put simply, it means in the circles that matter, Meghan and Harry no longer have any bridges left to burn.
One source says: ‘They have truly lost the plot. I hear she’s spiralling badly because she knows nothing is working. The whole thing about her stuff selling out isn’t true any more. I don’t think either of them are happy.’
The source tells me they believe the couple’s problems are worse than many suspect because of Meghan and Harry’s unfortunate habit of falling out with the very people who could help them make a go of things financially.
One of the prime figures in this list is Anna Wintour, who attended a charity gala with Charles and Camilla in New York on Wednesday.
The source says Dame Anna turned against Meghan in 2019 when she collaborated with then British Vogue editor Edward Enninful on a ‘Forces for Change’ issue of the magazine.
There existed a long-time rivalry between Dame Anna at US Vogue, and Enninful at British Vogue, and Meghan picked her side – unwisely, as it turns out. Enninful is no longer the editor of British Vogue. Wintour has stepped aside from day-to-day editing US Vogue but remains Global Editorial Director and Chief Content Officer at Conde Nast, and seems more powerful than ever.
‘Meghan pledged her allegiance to Enninful which p***ed off Anna,’ says the source, adding: ‘Anna hates her. Meghan doesn’t want to pay, and never returns things.
‘Also, Anna loves the Royal Family. She is a Dame. Anna would have hated how they handled their exit from The Firm.’
Worryingly for Meghan, the famously icy Wintour apparently never forgives or forgets. So even though Meghan’s friendship with Enninful is also at an end – for reasons which are still unclear – there seems no way for Meghan to return to Anna’s good graces.'. (Cont'd)
One associate says: ‘They don’t have a choice at this point. They really need the money.’
The couple’s expenses are huge: that Montecito mansion, taxes and upkeep, security and travel, with some estimates reckoning they need to clear $5 million a year just to keep going.
Meghan is thought to have turned down deals to be the face of a capsule range at middle-middle fashion brands (I’m told American label J. Crew was interested). One wonders whether she can keep up this resistance to ‘lesser’ brands with bills to pay. It’s hard to see her current collaboration with OneOff amounting to much.
Of course, the most spectacular professional immolation for the Sussexes has come in the sphere of TV and film production, where Netflix has gone from being ‘all in’ six years ago, to ‘done’ now.
The deep-pocketed streamer walked away from a deal to back Meghan’s As Ever business earlier this year. Boss Ted Sarandos was even said to have joked that he didn’t want to talk to Meghan without a lawyer present.
To be fair to Sarandos, he tried to help Meghan and Harry save face when he invited them to an event to launch the second season of the prestige drama Beef in April.
Yet again, though, it all went wrong. Pictures of the couple were removed by Getty Images 24 hours after being published, even though Netflix had okayed them all.
The theory is Meghan didn’t like the way she appeared to be ‘clinging’ to Sarandos’s wife, Nicole Avant. My source is blunt about what is going on: ‘Nicole hates her. So does Bela and Ted.’
As to why, it’s said Netflix came to understand the Sussex team were ‘briefing against one of their executives’, although it’s not clear if that was on anyone’s orders.
A source says: ‘Unless someone is of use to them with money or unwavering attention then always fall out with them. They are worse at dealing with people than they are with business. And that’s saying a lot.’ '
Now, we have one species of poisonous snake in the UK, the adder, which can bite toes of bare foot, fingers of idiots who try handling them, and, sadly and often fatally, dogs' paws. Broadly speaking, if one is properly shod in places like the New Forest or on Dartmoor there's no problem. Is there a risk to a barefoot child in a CA garden, apart from that posed by the chickens?
It's not just chicken droppings or snakes, there are lots of hazards outside that could injure a child's feet. Also, it means tracking dirt into the house with dirty feet.
As far as the girl's hair, I suspect it is the type that musses easily, and in all fairness, I doubt anyone could keep it constantly tidy. I do wonder why she doesn't braid it, but the hair appears to be thin, so maybe it won't stay.
The falling out must be down to Nutmeg. Hazmat seems to be able to be civil at least superficially in social settings, whereas as * seems to bring chaos everywhere she goes.
I'm sure I can outdo you with tales of the wilderness I grew up in because to visit any next door neighbour to the north would have required crossing the North Pole.
It seems to me that Lidl is being used as an anti-Royal statement in that she makes me think of American demographics far removed from the status to which her `mother' clings. Her appearance speaks of neglect, even wilful cruelty, to say nothing of poverty so extreme that the family `hasn't got a pot to p*ss in'.
. . .
Comedian Colin Jost then targeted Prince Harry and Markle, saying that celebrating America's 250th anniversary was not the only reason King Charles made the trip across the pond.
**Jost brought up a picture of the couple as he added the visit was also '**to seek the release of a British hostage being held by an American terrorist.'

@Ian’sGirl
I agree
Thank you @Maneki
for the DM article
So, King Charles has left the United States after his four-day state visit, looking every bit as fresh as he looked when he arrived at Joint Base Andrews on Monday. That’s four days of making speeches, shaking hands, and generally being royal. The 77-year-old will be donning his Bermuda shorts now for his first trip as monarch to an overseas British territory.
His secret? Apart, of course, from the sheer joy of being in Washington and New York in the spring sunshine and getting the chance to hang out with Donald and Melania Trump?
It seems like an experimental cancer-fighting cocktail has worked wonders.
I don’t know the precise details, but as Tom Sykes revealed on the latest Daily Beast Podcast, Charles has been receiving treatment with an immunotherapy-RNA combination for the cancer he’s been battling for the last couple of years. I think that means some kind of checkpoint-inhibitor immunotherapy treatment combined with an RNA-based cancer vaccine, delivered in a weekly injection, although y’all can Google as well as I can.
Tom said: “I have been told, by someone who knows, that they are incredibly impressed at how the treatment has worked, and there is now a great deal of optimism—amongst the Palace, amongst his family, amongst his circle—that the king can carry on for many, many years hence.
“And, of course, when people talk about this, they always say it with the proviso ‘But, of course, with cancer things can change very, very quickly.’ But I think there’s no denying that there is a massive sense of optimism now that maybe we have come through what looked like an existential storm.”
In public appearances over the past couple of years, Charles has put on a good show. Of course he has; he learned from the best in the business. But there’s no denying that he’s looked exhausted at times, like any cancer patient in his seventies would.
On this week’s evidence, however, he is back. His looked like it might be a short reign, tacked on almost as an afterthought to his mother’s, but that’s no longer the case. And the interesting thing is how that changes the dynamic in the familial psychodrama that is the Windsors. Welcome back!
Yes very intelligent indeed.....
Does anyone else think the girl looks too big for her age?
I am so thrilled that KCIII .might have found a treatment that will keep him around a good long time. I wish he'd deal with the Harkles with a stronger hand, but, that aside, I am a big fan.
* was 'executing a highly prepared psychological sting operation'.
* arrived at St George's chapel in a Rolls Royce Phantom 4, which was 'the preferred signature vehicle of Wallis Simpson'. * apparently refused any other traditional, highly secure vehicles. Bower sees this as a
'deliberate, unavoidable signal to Queen Elizabeth II and the entire institution.'
I think his phrase, 'a highly prepared psychological sting operation' is correct and an excellent description of what actually happened.
According to him, * is planning the next phase of her life, Harry having reached his well by date. The problem is that while in 2013 no one knew who she was, now she is infamous and it would have to be an incredibly stupid, naive man who'd have anything to do with her. The thing is, a billionaire didn't get where he is by being stupid and naive. * is caught in a trap of her own making. Shades of Hotel California.
https://youtu.be/bGTlKdsFDvg?si=H5QKHfUiYZLBe8u6
Bower claims to have seen 'the suppressed fragments and witness summaries'. The Palace is meticulously documenting the Harkles' media attacks with a dossier that includes 'time stamped communication logs, aggressive emails, sworn staff testimonies and highly sensitive footage from the royal residences spanning 2018 to 2020'.
'The Palace is reportedly ready and fully prepared to leak the bullying report in its absolute unredacted entirety to the British press'. * is terrified of this document.
I think one wrong move and hopefully the document will be leaked. * might be 'whip smart' but the Palace will prove smarter.
A Sussex source told People, long the Sussexes' favoured media outlet in the US, that Meghan's godson is the child of an old friend from her alma mater Northwestern University.
The insider said that the Duchess was like any other member of the congregation - apart from her personal bodyguard.
'Meghan arrived early to the church and waited with other families and friends in the pews and that she didn't use a separate entrance or have any special accommodations', they said.
The source confirmed: 'Meghan travelled to Chicago over the weekend for the First Communion of the son of one of her best friends from college and that Meghan is the boy's godmother'.
Natalie Martinez, a Chicago TV reporter whose daughter was also having her First Communion at the same Catholic mass, took a picture of her daughter walking past Meghan.
But it was only online for a short period before it was deleted by Ms Martinez, who shared a picture of her daughter with the caption: 'Yep, that is exactly who you think it is to her right'.
https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15787971/Meghan-Markle-jets-Chicago-support-godson-Communion.html
How much do you want to bet that * made Mrs Martinez delete that?
What could * have on her that could make the woman delete the photos?
What makes me laugh is the whole push of she's like any other person, even is able to use the same doorways as others ... what? like the church (or this church) has special doorways for some extra special people that most are never allowed through? ... but still needs a special bodyguard to be with them.
I think it's hilarious that she leaked this story to make her look more loving and normal.
https://x.com/meghansfashion/status/2051199038557700435
I don't remember any example of this. Do you?
There were rumours that she was going to crash the Met Ball today. That's how crazy people think she is.
What? No red carpet?.
Thanking the internet chefs for the 'Aussie bum' budgie smugglers, Meghan continued: 'We might renew our vows with him wearing these.' '
The swimming briefs were for her husband? Well, I would have thought that a pair of men's swimming briefs was for men. As for renewing their vows, H in swimming briefs or not, please no! Once was enough, thank you.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, included the $3,100 look on AI fashion platform OneOff, leading critics to accuse her of cashing in on a sensitive moment.
Meghan is understood to earn a commission of between 10 and 25 per cent on items sold via OneOff, where she is also listed as an investor.
In a new interview, Meghan explained she had joined the platform in order to give fashion designers and brands the "credit" they deserve.
"Even if you don’t say a word, you can convey something in what you wear," the duchess told Women's Weekly.
"Over the last several years, I would hear about an incorrect designer getting credit for something I wore, either via affiliate links or press, and that never seemed fair.
"Credit where credit is due. These brands and designers work so hard and take great pride in their work, and I choose them for a reason.
"Either supporting a friend, being brand loyal... So it’s always been important to me that the correct designer is credited."

After that she can just wait for the memoirs of Harry's son and daughter who will certainly have their own versions of "Mommie dearest" to make money off.
Next August she will have her 45 years birthday and (after only few years ago when she was "a young mother") she will officially be a Middle Aged woman and the years as a sex kitten are over.
But maybe (!) with all her savoir-faire and know-how her next step is going to be the top job in the White House's Oval Office! If that is her game plan it will be SO interesting! We shall see.....

I meant the DM article
disappeared for a while!??
Was it not Harry's famous "Freedom Flight" that made him free from all oppression that his cruel family was putting on him and his family? Only a sick masochist wants to go back to cruel and oppressive world?
I believe I have something in common with Harry, neither of us understands what Harry really wants.
