I think they will find a way to be in the news every day. Like they tried to do today, on little Louis' birthday. They couldn't let him have his day in the sun. Horrible duo.

Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on Prince Harry after the Duke urged America to honour its obligations in the Ukrainian conflict.

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15760693/Trump-launches-attack-Prince-Harry-Duke-urged-US-honour-obligations-Ukraine-conflict.html

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.
Maneki Neko said…
I agree completely. Harry doesn't work for the Foreign Office and is a nobody, whatever he and * think, and needs to butt out. His comments are not needed just before Charles' visit. Somehow, I don't think either Putin or Trump will take any notice of what Harry has to say. Maybe * ordered him to say something.
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.

Girl with a Hat, that doesn't look like a birth certificate at all. I was born in Los Angeles in '63, and my birth certificate does not remotely resemble that. My nieces' and nephews' birth certificates born in the 90s ( in Southern California) look like mine, so they haven't changed.

Now that's a fitting nick name for him: Vex
I must say my empathy is for Queen Camilla. It must be horrible to see your husband be very ill and suffering and your unbalanced middle-aged step-son trying to destroy the work your husband is doing for your country in an extremely difficult situation. To be a wife who tries to support an ill man and create some kind of quiet around him must be an overwhelming task. Poor woman!

Girl with a Hat said…
So Hairy has gotten involved in a government intrigue.
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?
It is scary how lost he seems to be in his own mind.

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.
Paula M Channel has a piece where Harry slaps a surf rescue man's bum and clearly thinks that is funny. It is not. It is extremely dirty trick to touch another man like that when he can't react and give back. This is not the first time Harry violates a man's right to not to be a victim to sexual approach when he can't defend himself. It is such disgusting behaviour. And it happens at Bondi Beach....

This video by Neil Sean discusses the recent public perception and activities of the duo with their attempts to 'realign, distract, and move forward', following various public criticisms. Interesting points on the Australia trip, He's visit to Ukraine and the official royal website.

It is sorrowful that a person who is so totally irrelevant in the history of UK Prince Harry has done such cruel destructive work against two people of very great significance Their Majesties Queen Elizabeth and King Charles. He made the last years of his grandmother who was dying with very grave pains a living hell and he does not think anything of hurting his father while he must see in his father's face that his illness is taking the King's strength away.

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.

@alianor
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.
Sad news, Yankee Wally has died.

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.
There's talk on SMM on why H wasn't at he State Dinner at the White House.

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.
Girl with a Hat said…
How sad. RIP. Condolences to her family. She was lovely while being a firecracker!
Wild Boar Battle-maid, the story of Harry's life is all those different tests he did not pass and if anyone would invite him to a dinner it would be wise to expect a very colourful story of that repast to be published in the papers next day.

(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.)

Maneki Neko said…
I was out all day so haven't heard anything about Harry and a State Dinner at the White House. Did he want to go? Presumably, if he was going - and that's a very big if - then * would have had to be invited. I don't think Trump would have liked to see her, I seem to remember he mentioned her in unflattering terms and I don't think Harry is a fan of his. In any case, there is absolutely no reason why he should have been invited, the King and Queen are on an official visit and it has absolutely nothing to do with Harry or him and wifey.
This morning, whilst waiting to see someone in the bank wi. ref.to all the admin I have to wade through, I saw a couple of pages of Monday's DM: an article (was it by Celia Walden?) regarding a certain self-pitying Duchess in Name Only, headed IIRC `The strings of that violin must be worn out by now'.
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)
Maneki Neko said…
. . . 'For it’s all too apparent that the Sussexes no longer have the help of the powerful and influential protectors who could unlock a life of commercial plenty.

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)
Maneki Neko said…
. . . 'the path appears to be set – ‘working royal’ engagements plus commercial ventures which will lean on their status.

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.’ '
There's considerable discussion on SMM today about the neglected appearance of the girl child at Mudslide Manor, particularly her being barefoot and perhaps being in contact with poultry droppings. Then, whilst scrolling, I saw a report of a tourist dying of a cobra bite at a snake-charming show in Egypt. My mind passed back the barefoot child and I soon found reports of deaths from snake bite in CA - on the up, it appears.

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?
Girl with a Hat said…
My mother and those of my childhood friends would always be scolding us about being barefoot outside and we would have to have to go fetch shoes before they would relent.
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.
Iansgirltammy said…
I grew up in tbe Appalachian mountains, an area full of every poisonous snake in the US, scorpions, centipedes, fire ants, ticks, chiggers, poison ivy, stinging nettle, brown recluse spiders...all the nasty critters and plants you can imagine. I went barefoot all summer long. We had chickens, too, and while I didn't go barefoot in the run, they were let out in the vegetable garden come early fall, to eat bugs and scratch up the soil, and I am 100 percent sure my barefoot might've come into contact with some chickensh*t occasionally. I somehow managed to survive. These two arseholes give us enough to trash them over, do we really need to clutch our pearls over letting her kids (assuming they exist) go barefoot? Or did none of you ever go barefoot at all?! Girl With a Hat, we got thoroughly hosed down before we came inside if we were especially dirty, and there was a scrub brush and Fels Naptha on the back porch for our 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.
Maneki Neko said…
Also ticks, in the New Forest, I think, and perhaps in California. And let's not forget dog - I think they have a dog, or two dogs. Plus Lili could cut her foot, which could get infected. * is projecting her pseudo free hippie vibe onto her child. She wants her to be a mini me.
Girl with a Hat said…
Yes, we did go barefoot as often as we could get away with it, but it ended up with my brother stepping on a nail and having to be rushed to the hospital for a tetanus shot, and my sister stepping on a surveyor's stake and having to be rushed to the hospital for stitches.
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.
I'd say that UK custom used to reserve bare feet for the paddling pool or the beach.
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'.

**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.'

Good news! From an article at the Royalist substack by Tom Sykes:

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!
I find it interesting that the baroness, who according to herself is whip-smart, is trying to earn money with speaking gigs. In Australia the girly weekend promised that people could meet her and get a photo etc. And she did get in, stayed about 30 minutes and went out leaving people disappointed and cheated. I wonder where she next time sells herself and her time and once again spits in the face of people who pay 2,500$ for the privilege. Normal people do not pay money to be humiliated like the baroness does to others so I very much doubt that any speaking gigs are her future earning tricks.

Yes very intelligent indeed.....

Girl With a Hat, I would love to hear about your adventures! I think one of my brothers stepped on a rusted rake end and had to go to the doctor, but most of our injuries were broken bones from falling out of trees and such.
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.
Girl with a Hat said…
When Jimmy Carter, the ex-president of the USA had terminal cancer, they announced his imminent death because the cancer had spread to his brain but he was then given immunotherapy and lived another 10 years. Let's hope that King Charles has the same success. I don't like him as a king, but everyone deserves to have a nice, long, healthy life surrounded by people they love, even * and Hairy.
Maneki Neko said…
While watching a YouTube video, I saw advertised a very recent one by Tom Bower. Nothing we didn't know before, mostly, but with interesting details. 'Operation Royal', as he calls it, began as early as 2013. 'Bower alleges with chilling specificity that M meticulously, surgically, researched Prince Harry's deepest psychological vulnerabilities and emotional triggers'.
* 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.

Maneki Neko said…
Further to my previous post on the Tom Bower video, the results of the bullying investigation by the Palace have been deliberately buried to avoid 'a blood bath'. We obviously know that if the allegations were baseless, the Palace would have said so and the silence is very telling.
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.

* went to her godson's communion in Chicago

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'.

How much do you want to bet that * made Mrs Martinez delete that?

Hmm. Maybe. Alternative is that it was a set between them and removing it was to push the interest factor (after it seemed to generate more interest in deleted photos in the past)?

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.

If you read the article, there are more details and speculation about why the deletion occurred.
I think it's hilarious that she leaked this story to make her look more loving and normal.

Ladies, youtuber Lost Beyond Pluto has a delicious piece about the royal diplomatic messaging with clothes on official visits. What to do and what definitely NOT to do!

Some one on SMM observed that she/he wa sunderthe impression that to be a godparent to a Roman Catholic child, one had to be Roman Catholic oneself. What might that say about *'s religious allegiances? )(Yes, that plural's deliberate).
Maneki Neko said…
I know Chicago is known as the windy city but was the weather so cold that * had to wear a wool coat?
Maneki Neko said…
From the internet: 'According to Roman Catholic canon law, at least one godparent must be a practicing, confirmed Roman Catholic in good standing, aged 16 or older. While only one sponsor is strictly required, if two are chosen, one must be Catholic; a baptized non-Catholic may serve as a "Christian witness" alongside a Catholic godparent.'

In other news, she said something about how (unnamed) designers received credit for things she wore when she apparently had not worn theirs ("... affiliate links or press"...).

I don't remember any example of this. Do you?
Girl with a Hat said…
It`s not even a nice looking coat. It`s the same designer as the one who made the red dress with inverted nipples that * wore to the veterans` dinner once. Caroline Herrera.
Girl with a Hat said…
No. I can't recall a single instance of that happening.
There were rumours that she was going to crash the Met Ball today. That's how crazy people think she is.
@GWAH `she didn't use a separate entrance or have any special accommodations, they said.'
What? No red carpet?.

'Speaking to YouTubers Sean Skeels and Marley Whatarau, who gifted Meghan a pair of men's swimming briefs, the Duchess of Sussex quipped 'that's going to be for my husband'.

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.

Meghan Markle has defended the controversial decision to promote the outfit she wore while meeting Bondi terror attack survivors and first responders earlier this month.

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."

Now that their Majesties USA conquest is over the discussion seems to move to the summer and Birmingham and "the pre-Invictus Games do" and the game of will they won't they come and how about the Security (!), are they going to get it. It can't be easy for the King to make up his mind of taking part in any of that when there are questions about money that seem to vanish in the air with the sussexes. As I understand it the British military is very important for every member of the Royal Family and their work for armed forces shows it.

But with Harry and his shady handling of all his charities the playing fields of Eton have let England down badly, so sorrowful....

Stupid woman should say she is donating all the funds she receives to a victims' charity instead of seeming like a greedy, unemotional exploiter of tragedies (which she is, LOL)

Host-Partum

Our chest feeding prince
made me gag and then wince
Their proof babe was born of
her bod
Desperate to evince
a natural birth, con-vince
All seems post-natally odd…

My latest was regarding a photo
of haz with newborn archie
released by madam in the DM

The fact that the King
didn’t let those two in
On his recent trip to the states
Told those in the know
that the twos no show
Showed the world
they’re non grata
Ingrates…

Your latest, brilliant by the way, as always, is there. Host-partum, or was it another one?
Girl with a Hat said…
I remember seeing that picture and thinking that "Archie" looked like a doll. What father wouldn't try to stabilize their new born baby by putting a gentle hand on the little one to ensure that he doesn't fall? Obviously, not Hairy

GWAH, I was rewatching the video of them walking down the hall to present the baby some time ago. Focus of the video was how babies do not have sleep paralysis so not having a moving baby while it was being filmed from entering to the exit was a flag. But I also heard the comment by him about how much they change in a longer period than the baby was supposed to be have been out. That all plus she in the white dress while she still would have been dripping out.

(and people wonder why on earth we might not believe the kids were born of the body)
It must be horrible that your whole future work life is in just two words "A memoir". And after that you have NOTHING to sell to anyone in Hollywood (or California). Ted Sarandos smiles to the baroness while he waits the divorce and the book and some kind of "series" and then it will over for her.

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.....

In People magazine the sussexes tell us all that they are giving their children the space to be themselves (for their different personalities to flourish). For once I do believe they are telling the truth. They are never disturbing their tots, never go out with them, never ever travel with them and leave them all the time with their nannies, so the young earl of Dumbarton and his sister are as free from their parents as any child can wish for. Well done Harry and wife, well done indeed!

Apologies:
My Mother Said I Never Should

Squat’ers Sights

His grandfather told him
he never should
Marry a trollop
who pees in the wood
When he did he was heard to say
“silly sod, you’ll rue the day”

His brother told him
“you’re a dud
played with that tart
without a hood”
The lad is dim
a shysters dream
Harlot milked dry the
racist theme…

Thanks Maneki
I meant the DM article
disappeared for a while!??

A question: Is it the fault of the Prince and Princess of Wales that Harry's children have no contact with the Wales children? And if it is so WHY? And if he wants his tots to go to school in Britain that is his decision isn't it not the other members of his family?

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.

Cliff Hanger

Deadlines for responses have passed.  Will they show?  Won't they show?   And, rumors of demands for money to cross hands to make appearances (new level of pay to play). Such drama.  You would think this was a soap opera where every episode ends with a crazy cliff hanger story plot to drive the next installment.  Sadly, I don't expect it to change any time soon either.  No.  For them, there appears to be way too much energy left in the will they, won't they to end it now even though everyone else is pretty much tired of it.  Hardly something one can point to and claim that they are trying to reconcile with those who feel distressed about what was printed. Just noticed something: remember that talk of trying to reach out and reconcile after the book, etc.?  It seems to have drifted away, hasn't it?  Hmm.  Interesting.  I wonder if that is recognized as a total lost cause or just delayed into the summer (or fall) campaign (c...

Here comes Trevor

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...

But Really, Could they?

 Richard Eden has an interesting article in the DM which references an article in The Guardian about the necessity of the passport applications for the kids as including HRH and the last name of Sussex. Why?  Well supposedly this is all because they want to allow the kids to decide for themselves to become a working royal or continue to stay in private life. The main focus becomes how this bewilders the Palace considering how difficult the parents found it all and then left.  As well has his thoughts that this is about maintaining royal aura ("links" is his term) before ending with how a push for the daughter might be as the American Princess might be helpful to her mommy's business. What I wonder about is:  What or where did they get the idea that the kids would be welcomed into the fold and become working royal? I am not convinced that was ever an option once they stepped back. America doesn't do British history quite the same way or to the same detail.  Manne...
