Another Birthday Another Faceless Shot

 Title pretty much says it all.  The sarcastic side of me says that maybe in another 10 years they will allow a real face shot.

But let's think about this.

Allegedly * bristles as the criticism of the unkempt hair.  Couple thoughts about that.

Archie doesn't seem to have the same issue.  He seems to get regular hair cuts.

Roll this around: She is raising her daughter to be a California Girl, just like her.  What does that mean and look like?

So how is this going to play out once the kid discovers what ever the current equivalent of Tik Tok is and lets loose?  Goes whole hog into the showing off of herself.  You know kids are better than a cheating spouse at being able to hide technology they don't want others to find out about themself.

Do we really think she will want to present herself as, well, unkempt hippy not pulled together later on?  Maybe but maybe not.  

In a lot of high end places, there is a lot of social pressure to wear the right clothes, have the right accessories, drive the right car and, look good at all times.  Middle school is less of the pressure cooker that high school is.  And, although many schools have shifted to a uniform, kids still manage to dress it up.  

And, how will she look back on her childhood as a series of events where she had to stand just do, move just so in order that her face is not seen by the camera.  Seen but not really seen. 

What we are shown is a snip.  Performative.  Appearing not necessarily relaxed but controlled.  Directed.  Edited.  Unlike real kids who are a lot more relaxed and unscripted.

We may never know if there exists alternate photos of the kids where they get to smile into the camera.  

Or alternate photos where the hair is brushed or plaited.

I don't know if * 'is raising her daughter to be a California Girl, just like her'. I wonder if Lily's unkempt appearance and bare feet is not just a big FU the the BRF: look, I'll raise my child whichever way I like and won't be dictated by protocol, unlike Catherine's children, always neat and presentable and nicely dressed. * also knows that Lily's unkempt appearance will be discussed more than if she was wearing shoes and had her hair in a plait.

It could also be that * doesn't want to compete with her daughter, >she< has to be the one to be admired/noticed/fêted etc, the child is just a prop and must not detract from *'s image.
Wickless candles, faceless children,

Narcissists are totally incapable of love but love for themselves. I know for my mother was one and because of her mental illness and cruelty I never loved her I just survived her and I hope that Harry's children will survive his wife. For there is no tenderness towards his little girl in his wife. If there were any warm feelings in the baroness Harry's daughter's hair would be groomed in those photos. I had two little girls so I know. But she does not give a damn. Maybe she hates her for she is a true princess and the baroness is not nor will she ever be.

I wonder if Harry understands what he is doing to his children. He had very cruel things to say about his father in his childhood. He seems to be even lousier father than his "pa", for he is a man without any backbone.

It's Lily's birthday today and we have the obligatory pix with face hidden by hair or photo taken from the back. The child has uncombed/unbrushed hair and is barefoot. One of the comment in the DM was 'Hopefully someone gifted her a brush. And shoes.' Quite. Incidentally, the child was wearing a gold bangle (at age 5), which doesn't go well with the feral look. A suitable birthday present?

As a child, I couldn't get my grandmother to stop playing with my hair. Brushing, plaiting, putting it up, ribbons, you name it, she enjoyed making me look pretty.
Girl with a Hat said…
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope it's just a distant memory for you now, alianor
Maneki Neko said…
Like @Girl with a Hat, I'm sorry you had such a mother. You mentioned her in another post and you must have had a terrible childhood. I am sure as a result you must have given your daughters a much healthier and happier childhood. I hope the scars have faded.

If you need a laugh...
Girl and Maneki, thank you for those kind words. Yes my childhood was truly horrible so I did learn how to love my own children by giving them all those things I did not get from my mother. Now I am a grandmother of two wonderful boys and I can spoil them with my whole heart and they love me back. So life itself has been a powerful way to heal to happiness.

abbyh said…
alianor, I second those comments. Glad you have the loving family members now.
Maneki Neko said…
I am so glad you were able to learn to love your own children as your mother was no role model. There were lucky, so are your grandsons.
Girl with a Hat said…
I thought of all of you today as I was walking in the mall. I was behind a woman who was following her young daughter and had a hair brush in her hand. Every time she came close to her daughter, she managed to brush her hair once or twice. Very funny. She was definitely not *, and interestingly, the mom was white, and the 7-8 year old girl was bi-racial.

There was an article in the DM today with a headline "Harry was fond of his grandfather but there were limits to his loyalty". They try to make excuses for Harry, but no one who is a kind person trashes his own grandfather while he is on his deathbed.
So Harry demands that Catherine forces William to contact him? That is interesting. You can accuse someone of racism in front of the whole world and yet you have right to demand them to clean up the shit you have self caused?

He is such a sunshine, Harry is. Maybe Charles will apologize everything Harry's wife demands and Harry and his family get this half-in-half-out deal they crave.

I know but it's difficult when nothing interesting is happening with the Unmentionables. Everything * does these days is pretty mundane and trivial. Jam, a new candle etc. She hasn't attended any function lately, as far as I remember, and as for Harry, not a peep. Pretty boring, I'd say.
@Magatha: Well, it's difficult to to find anything new to say about the Harkle because they just continue to, in effect, do the same thing all the time, constant repetition.
There might, however, be fresh take on H's security here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1tzk7ye/harry_must_be_considered_a_highsecurity_risk_and/

It's the suggestion that it's not just a matter of him being at too low risk to warrant special protection that RAVEC hasn't granted what he wants. Is it being used to keep him, and hence her, out of the country?
It's an interesting thought - what do Nutties think?

I sounded off about them in draft form a few weeks ago but held back from posting it. Have just looked at it again and have decided that it sums up just what I think about them:

`I long to have an end to their activities that have wasted so much of my time and life. I just wish they'd get the message, shut up, clear off and enjoy the privacy they claim they need so much. Shirley Conran said that Life's too short to stuff a mushroom - yet I wonder how many person-hours we have, between us, squandered on them?
I ask myself why I got involved - and the answer I get is that it seemed necessary to do it, to hinder their attempts to overturn our Constitution. We may not have a single document enshrining our principles but our Constitution does exist. It is the entire body of our law, hammered out over the centuries, with the Monarch at its head.
How a quisling prince and his whore of a wife imagined that they could disrupt this is beyond me. Criminal insanity seems the only explanation and the nearest they should be allowed to get to Windsor, is that `palace' at Crowthorne, as someone else here has recently suggested. They'd be in good company - it's where the guy who tried to kidnap Princess Anne resides.
Harsh words I know but justified I feel. Life is too precious and brief to be wasted on them'.

The other reason I got involved was that once I grasped what had been going in on with my most recent nasty narcissist acquaintance, I swore I'd put my experience to good use and use it as a warning to others. I had no idea then, in April 2018, that another such monster was emerging onto the public stage. I knew from the Engagement Interview that I wouldn't employ her in my office, as even a lowly clerk, but the true horror soon emerged.
I had hoped that she would soon learn how to conduct herself but one friend pointed out that she had given the `wrong' answer to one particular question.

When asked if she'd use her new royal position as a platform for her humanitarian work, she picked up the ball and ran with it, making it all about her. The correct answer should have been along the lines of primarily supporting the Queen, upholding the Monarchy and backing her husband in his royal duties, before doing anything off her own bat.
(I see I've used 2 examples of English /British sporting imagery there which ilustrate just how unlikely she was to fit in - can you imagine her with a rugger ball or cricket bat?)
Girl with a Hat said…
Those are interesting thoughts.
I don't however, share your opinion on this being wasted time.
I think we all have a need to observe and analyze other human beings' behaviour for our own understanding. It helps us to protect ourselves and to explain some of the events in our own lives, so it's very necessary to use extreme examples, like * to help us figure it out.

@GWAH
I got into this because I had managed to figure out, at last, what had been going on with my immediately preceding narcissist (female). That, in turn, enabled me to work out what went on in the head of the spouse I'd left within a year of marriage . I had worked out that he had a personality disorder of some unknown description but that was all. This was just before the Harkle marriage - the general recognition of narcissism is such a recent development.
Getting involved with the Harkles has enabled me to put all this bitter experience to some use in a worthy cause. It's over 8 years since * appeared on the horizon with her intention of `modernizing' the monarchy and I had become war-weary, wondering if I had succumbed to the `sunk-cost fallacy', especially as there's so much else I need to do on the personal front.
I've thought carefully about this and can see that we have not been struggling in vain. Our Constitution, which is enshrined in the whole body of the law rather than a single document, still stands even if the desired denouement hasn't happened yet - it will surely come in time, just as my Decree Absolute did. I really do need to hang on in here, just being more efficient about it.
Girl with a Hat said…
I was involved with a narcissist some years ago.
It took me years of trying to understand why a seemingly very intelligent person would behave the way they did.
When I read a book detailing the characteristics of narcissists, everything fell into place. It described the rationale behind behaviours which I couldn't begin to comprehend.
Mel said…
It's interesting to hear how people became so interested in the Markle saga. I usually pay *no* attention to things like that. But this attracted my attention due to a long-term marriage to a narcissist. It took me many years to figure out what the problem was....I always thought if I could just explain it better they'd get it.

Took me forever to realize that they *didn't want* to get it. And even longer to recover. Not that I'll ever recover. I imagine I'll always be highly attuned to narc behavior.

I wasn't really paying attention to the monarchy particularly. Aware of them in a vague sort of way. Then along comes Markle.

I remember being *so* disappointed in the wedding. She stepped out of the carriage and I thought....that's it???? That's the best she could do???? I shut the tv off right then.

But then I got curious and started looking into it further. Saw the engagement interview and thought yikes!!!! I'm surprised that wedding was allowed to happen. She was something else.
@GWAH
In 1989 I even spent time in our local university library trying to work it out - the nearest I could get was that my husband was somewhat like a psychopath (no conscience or remorse) but didn't quite fit the description.
It was the internet that revealed all but not until 2018, shortly before That Wedding. I'd had a weekend of difficulty with the behaviour of a house guest whom I understood to have had treatment to deal with her mental state . I'd bitten my tongue to keep the peace but finally told her to stop criticising me. I was treated to such a display of rage I couldn't decide whether to call an ambulance or the police.
She did calm down eventually but persisted in her criticism until she left - I turned to the computer to try and find out what the heck was going on. I didn't even know what search terms to use.
I tried `emotional blackmail' - and, lo, all was revealed. I went No Contact and vowed I'd do what I could to unmask the blighters.

Misan Harriman back in the news for antisemitic comments.
Narcissists are very dangerous people because they consume and destroy their nearest (I will not add "their dearest" for they do not love anyone, they own people). Harry's children are in really bad place for they are not children of his wife (that is I don't believe they are). She has no emotional contact with them and she will just use them any way that pleases her. Their father is a fusty wet blanket who will not stop her because he will always consider his own comfort more important. And they clearly have no support network around for mrs Harry will not allow it.

It is extremely worrying because in England they would have family around now they are alone without protection.

I do know what I am saying for my younger brother's escape was suicide.

Maneki Neko said…
alianor, this is horrific. You have done so well to keep in one piece.
I realise I am so lucky I've never come into to contact with a narcissist.
Re *, I never liked her from the start, I first saw her at the Invictus games in Toronto and she looked too smug for my liking. I also noted the so-called 'husband shirt' and wondered whether it was a subliminal hint to Harry and the world. The engagement interview didn't improve things and it went downhill from then on. Harry never knew what he let himself in for and even if he does know now, he's stuck with her. The children are away from their cousins, who could have given them a sense of normality. I wonder how they'll end up.
Girl with a Hat said…
My deepest condolences, alianor. It must have been a horrific way to grow up.
The only consolation we have is that as more is understood about narcissists and narcissism, that victims will not have to stumble around in the dark to understand why this is happening to them and in this way, minimize their suffering.

There is a DM article in the Royals (!) section on * revealing her daughter's love of Beyoncé. The cynic in me thinks it's more to make sure Beyoncé knows * is her friend. Lilibucks is pictured minus her head wearing a rather grubby white T-shirt with a drawing of B that the child supposedly did. The drawing looks more like * herself... Cue lots of pix, one of them of the duo at the premiere of The Lion King with Harry and a bemused Bob Iger. Most of the pix are of *, natch. One is of * cutting an onion but it looks like she's holding the knife upside down. All about her, not the child supposedly loving B, as befits a narcissist. One is of * in 'a rugged double denim look to highlight her outdoorsiness' - it looks more like it highlights her crotch.
The article and photos - one an obvious screen shot - are worth a look if you want to have a snigger.

Apologies, I was posting a bit late last night and was very tired. I didn't check was a GLP-1 product was. Essentially * wants to white label a product but GLP-1 is a semaglutide, although not all GLP-1s are. I don't believe she can, she doesn't have the qualifications (not even for As Ever).

You can say that again!
English speaking nutties, is it ok to say that Harry is a lout? English is my third language and I am not always sure what is comme il faut and what is not.

I wanted to find a word that describes his attitude against the Baka people in Africa when he enjoys the champagne dos of African Parks in the States.

Yes, he is. Here is Marriam-Webster's take on the word:

`Lout belongs to a large group of words that we use to indicate a particular sort of offensive and insensitive person, that group also including such terms as boor, oaf, jerk, and churl. English speakers have used lout in this way since the mid-1500s. Well before the 12th century, however, lout functioned as a verb with the meaning “to bow in respect.” No one is quite sure how—or even if—the verb sense developed into a noun meaning “an awkward brutish person.” The noun could have been coined independently, but if its source was the verb, perhaps the awkward posture of one bowing down led over the centuries to the idea that the bowing person was base and awkward as well.'
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lout
Maneki Neko said…
Harry is many things but lout is not appropriate here. He is on the board of directors of African Parks and is not responsible for the way its eco guards have treated Baka people. That said, if he had any honour, decency and integrity Harry should have resigned his position. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any. Either he is weak or without moral principles.



OKay said…
Lout is but one of many extremely appropriate words to describe Harry.
Maneki Neko said…
I agree with the definition but IMHO, I don't think it applies to Harry *in this particular context*. The Cambridge dictionary defines a lout as 'a young man who behaves in a very rude, offensive, and sometimes violent way:
Teenage louts roam the streets at night.'. Think also of 'lycra louts' - for non UK Nutties, aggressive, ill-mannered, selfish cyclists.
Harry is not a young man, neither is he a lout as defined above. Yes, he can and has been be rude, obnoxious etc but in the case of African Parks, it's more a question of rectitude and decency. He is weak, amoral and unprincipled. I'm sure they are other words to describe him re African Parks.

@Maneki Neko
When i thought about it, I did realise that `lout' wasn't quite right for . this particular context although we use in phrases such as `litter lout' and `football lout' but I can't think of anything better.
abbyh said…
The other thing about the whole controlled pictures of the kids - is that there was a statement made at the time of the first birth that she would not present her kids to the public (implied steps of the hospital). (odd as Diana had and rare is the opportunity to cosplay - or so it appears)

And yet, here she is, offering them up to the pubic (in dribs and drabs) in increasing amounts each week.
Maneki Neko said…
But lately, she's shown Lilibucks, or rather the back of head, quite a bit but nothing of Archie.
Girl with a Hat said…
her poses are really odd in her pics with the alleged Lillibucks, not really maternal or natural. I am mostly thinking of the picture of *, Hairy and the child, with both females putting their hand on Hairy`s chest, but not any contact between alleged mother and daughter.
Harry's wife is (again) showing tender feelings towards a child that is not hers. And showing that child's face to the world. After all she and her husband have said about social media using children. Sanctimonious user of innocent children for money for herself.

Those children will be really screwed up psychologically as adults - poor little souls.

I just read a spot-on comment on X (by Paula Matanovich) about Meghan:

“ she's doing to the royal family what her father is doing to her and they both dont get it. Mr Markle doesn't get that he's dead to meghan and meghan doesn't get that she is dead to the royal family...”

That thought makes me happy.

Lengthy discussion here about Harkle umbrage at King apparently not displaying photos they claim to have given him of the Invisikids.
This triggered the thought in my mind that, were His Maj ever to meet them, the girl's name would stick in his throat and he would refuse to call her by the stolen name, even if he were physically capable of saying it.

* 'has unveiled a new matcha collaboration with 'my favourite gal' Hannah Mendoza, who co-founded the wellness drinks brand the Duchess invested in' (Clevr Blends). Favourite gal for now, her favorite vals and best friends have a short shelf life. Of course, the matcha has to have dried flowers on top (eye roll).
I'm sure everybody will rush to buy this concoction. 'For $56, customers will receive Clevr's blend of ceremonial-grade matcha and functional ingredients, Meghan's Strawberry Spread, and flower sprinkles to 'add beauty to each bite'.' 'functional ingredients'? Such as? I think * is trying to flog her spread as the stuff is now nearing expiry date.
