I have mixed feelings about Lady Colin Campbell (who I dreamt of last night?!) . As a Most Haunted fan, I simply adored Yvette Fielding however when I searched LCC on Youtube recently, I found a TV survival show they were both on, and my loyalties were torn somewhat. Having said that, I'd love to chat with LCC if we could patch things up with YF. God, I even wanted to go ghost hunting at one point, and I hope the day I'm invited to England, that's just what I'll do - provided the ghosts don't get hostile to my ancient Frenchness/Catholicism. Maybe start somewhere neutral, but definitely Fyvie castle to visit Lady Richmond, if memory serves. I digress. A bit like LCC 😉 Nevertheless, her book I believe is out now (not like Jessica Mulroney-out): www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1295228/meghan-markle-news-prince-harry-wedding-lady-colin-campbell-the-real-storyHad I time for other than my course readings, I'd want to read this. Maybe she'll investigate someday the Ghislaine Maxwell connection to the death of Lady Di. . . . Update: the controversy at Charles's 70th bday party is a toss between whether Meghan pulled her tongue out at Camilla, or laughed at a veteran who fell off his horse.

I'm happy to read that Prince Phillip will still show his discontent at people who attack QE2's quietude. Frankly, this duo is only a few degrees from the Johnny Depp Amber Heard affair in my mind - too much information either way; lawsuits that are abysmal and really bad behaviour. Personally if royalty is going to have an agent provocateur in its midst, at least make her a femme fatale with an aura of intelligent mystery about her and not some emotionally and socially undeveloped child. Where are the women of mystique? If our attention is going to be sollicited, do give us something more high brow. It's so parvenue, this overblown wolfcrying over nonsense to make others waste time on you. We expect more, quite honestly. Failing that, duty is always a good fallback when you don't know what you're doing when you're constantly trying to grab headlines. And Harry, I have a job for you. It involves Toronto and has already one patron who if you'd co-patron, would be mutually beneficial. You might learn great business skills around this person and the outcome is sure to be a massive crowd pleaser. You can't go wrong. Please do something constructive on your own. Seek and you shall find. One hint is the acronym in this post. Godspeed.

Happy birthday to Meghan.
If she sat across from me, I would tell her to calm her fury, settle down and stop suing people. I would remind her that the ground under her feet and the power that make her feel like she can take on the world (and everybody!) is the product of strong family bonds... on her husband's side. Like Diana, she is wasting an opportunity to have rewarding female bonds if she could just. stop. reacting. Whatever the deal with Archie, she should want to give him a sound foundation to begin life. If gossip is to be believed, Meghan's mom was absent for many years and Meghan hints at abuse from her dad - all the more reason to diversify her affections. What's more, the narrowed horizons are not good for her marriage. She seems to be wasting Harry's loyalty and devotion. Yes, I think in part she's his karma for his racism in the past. Yes, I think distancing from Harry's godfather is not a bad idea. But there's an entire new dynamic generation with whom to build the future. Meghan will never be a superstar, like she's never been a supermodel but in some circles, that's actually a plus. To be loved, one must know what love is.
I wish her serenity.

the things you do when you are looking for privacy... Netflix will come to regret that deal. There is a reason why the Kardashians quit. There is no good taste about reality tv. That's not why people watch it. Eventually poor Archie will have to come to their rescue and will be front and center to make sure that at least the tabloids tune in to keep us updated on his cuteness. Or Harry needs to return wearing his swastika, racially abuse people and play strip poker while Meg does her yoga, tries to out do Gwyneth in selling vagina scented candles and talks non sensical BS. Guess QE2 and Charly are regretting the day they thought they had handed off the liability Harry to an unvetted woman, hoping that she would reign him in. If Corona continues the way it does in Britain and Brexit, which has not yet started, will give the economy the last rites, then the BRF might soon find themselves out of a job thx to pedo Andy and these two. People without jobs and loosing their houses don't look favourably on people who get to live in several palaces for free and get an increase on their paycheck, because their investments have not fared so well...

The BRF are definitely letting these two run too wild for anyone's good. I suspect Charles doesn't mind the publicity though, because he's doing nothing about it. Except ploughing more money into the sideshow. If anything, it's making everyone else's qualities stand out. I just don't think it's healthy for Harry.

Well, they always let Harry run loose. That's how he became a liability which they the put into the wrong hands, hoping it would all work out. Always allowing Di's death as an excuse. These princlings losing their mothers seem to forget that millions of children lose one or both parents early and still manage to grow up into fully functioning normal people. And they don't have the money or the help at their fingertips to get through this. QE2 allowed Andy to become a liability too. She was too linient with both of them, risking that these two will ruin her life work. What really baffles me though that Harry has absolutely no understanding of how the monarchy works. I think meghan can not be blamed for that and seems to have made an effort, but if on the other hand her own husband, who has been part of the family his entire life doesn't understand his role, then how can she? After Di and Fergie and all the other disasters they have had, how come no one ever thought about a general rule book about the dos and don'ts. If you have enough German blood in that family for a German xmas, how about using that DNA to implement a general rulebook...

Who knew Bestie's grandparenting style was more Imperatrice Sissi than stern British. Good point about how little Harry seems to know about his place in the world. Where HAS he been all this time!?! And who thought a fairly innocuous starlet had aspirations to world domination; there's a pre-presidential bid website floating around, apparently, and body language experts say she seethes at the notion that she's not powerful at all. Huh..., like duh. This may sound selfish on my part but the likes of Trump and other such public figures make me think of myself as so much saner and more together, if one can appose an actual function to these people.

Megs is IMO pretty similar to Trump, just her topics are different-But like him she only likes free press, when they praise her. And you don't marry into the BRF, when you want your voice to be heard. Your job is to amplify the voice of others. Chosing which ones you want to amplify is how you make yourself heard. And the higher on the food chain, the mor diverse it has to be as the sovereign does not take sides. Harry is simply dumb and since he was only the spare and William looked from an early age though he was going to provide sufficient heirs from an early age, no one bothered with Harry. He wasn't needed, so they didn't educate him properly. Maybe Charles hoped that Harry would find a nice wife and retire to the countryside, become a farmer or manage an estate. Maybe take over Highrove and show up for big events.
anyways being anti Trump doesn't make Meg into a good person, just as being poisoned by Putin doesn't make you less homophob and less antisemite and worth of political support just to spite Putin. The assasins of July 20th were convinced Nazis and Stauffenberg even an ardent admirer of an openly pedophile poet... not a fan of Merkel, but I have to give credit where credit is due, and she does do a fine job handling those males and she did do one thing absolutely right when she opened the borders. SHe does remind me sometimes of QE2, but I think if Harry would have thrown a tantrum with her, no one would be talking about megxit. She would have expressed her utmost faith in them 3 times and exit megxit. Meg would be probably picking up knitting from Dorias new charges and harry would be gardening or breeding horses somewhere...

I lost you at July 20th, but on the whole indeed MM is very Trumpian in grandstanding, if that's a skill. Maybe among short attention spans? There is a tendency towards ambulance chasing in some parts of the world. Trump's Covid is definitely self-inflicted and like anything he comes in contact with, trivialized, commoditized and fetishized. Nothing in his world is natural. Even his treatment is a potion of hard drugs. What a mess. Speaking of, Diana's death did not prematurely mature Harry. In fact he's reaching a similar age where she dove into the publicity machine although for her it was a buoy to remain relevant and stay in her children's lives. Whereas Harry is somewhat a reluctant publicity hound who follows an unreasonable wife meritless of attention, and who is ruining his relationships which will only make his son that much more alienated as his father claims to feel.

july 20th failed assassination of Hitler by his generals...
as to Dianas early death, there are so many children in this world growing up with only one or no parents, having suffered tremendous trauma through war, flight etc, growing up into decent human beings. Harry even had the priledge of meeting many of them. He just doesn't get it. He is simply too dumb and too spoilt. Why else would he chose to vent about his and Megs suffering, when visiting one of he poorest areas... tonedeaf doesn't even half cover it.

That's a common refrain online, that losing a parent happens to regular people and they don't go wonky like him. He's a rebel without a cause. She's out of control by all appearances. Meanwhile they completely overlooked the fact the UK already celebrates Black History. They really don't know how much more ahead they were, where they were. They simply aren't interested. On another note, while Gary Goldsmith is fresh in mind with his tweet telling them to shut up, Lady C yesterday spoke of Diana being a Goldsmith lovechild. Carole Middleton is a Goldsmith too. I don't know how many degrees separate the women but that's just weird and slightly consanguine. I guess it's not just Arabs...

well, I can only repeat that Harry is thick and no one cared. Also let's not forget that most Royals are not very bright. None of them is an academic. They all just passed with a lot of help from teaching staff. As non Royals they would have failed. Even Charles, who made a greater effort to educate himself especially on unpopular subjects. But no one wants them to be too smart anyways. Meghan I believe realized very soon that this wasn't her thing. Maybe she never intended to become a part of the family to begin with. I guess we will find out eventually.
I have to say though that whereas the US clearly has a race problem, having lived in the UK, I think Britains race problem is more a class problem than a race problem. No matter where you are from, as an outsider you will never be part. Kate will always remain middle class and there are quite a few complaints that the royals are becoming more and more middle class. In Britain it is all about the schools and universities you attended and who you mix with and what background your parents have. even when it comes to actors, writers or artists. Who would pay an ounce of attention to Laurence Fox, the sidekick to a sidekick, if it wasn't for his relatives and the school he attended...

Is Laurence Fox the guy who tattooed his hands last week when he launched his political party? I don't know much about him, tbh. Thanks for the 411. Royals rely on courtiers to inform them, and on the system of domination/intimidation as well as sycophancy/meritocracy. It's either fear or favours. With the result that intelligence shuns them but cupidity flings itself. The most intelligent courts are the ones with less obvious power. I think you may be giving MM too much credit for being a rational being. I think actors and reality TV stars are drawn to politics because like entertainment, public life is scripted.

yup,that's him. He could have tattooed I never want to work as an actor again on his hands too. I mean what role would require these tattooes...
as to Meg, she seems to want to keep playing the victim part. apparently they did another podcast in which she is referring to herself as the most trolled person on the planet. my ex's wife keeps telling trump several times per day that she hates him on twitter and that he is an idiot, and I am sure she isn't the only one, so I think donald will take that trophy easily out of megs hands. not enough people know or care about her or what she does because it has zero impact on their lives. She is overestimating her importance. she was an actress with a lack of talent and a rather short cv for her age. then she married the spare who, even when they met was on his way to insignificance due to a next generation of heir already in place. so she went from zlist actress to soon to be zlist royal. and the prospect of becoming another sophie wessex didn't seem to appeal to her. She doesn't get that Sophie, by playing it quiet and being a confidant to the queen yields more influence then Kate and Camilla. She made her mistakes, but she learned and found her place and can live a life in luxory and mostly the way she wants without the public getting a whif

The Terrible Two are apparently using their titles again, for their paid talk on digital technology with Times100, during which they'll self-servingly discuss negative media in the hopes they can try to thwart the free expression of people who just can't stand them anymore.

Seems they are just one step away from he guy who beheaded a teacher.Wonder what the two would say, if the caricature depicted harry in his nazi gear instead of mohammed. Though to be honest a naked harry with a swastika on his arm and a star covering his anus would be a much better one than the original. Especially if he was kneeling in front of a money countin meg on a throne. also her claim about social media being a drug, when just a few months ago she was really into it and how upset they were after QE2 told them to shut it down. Time QE2 took the titles away. though I think someone ought take it from her too the way she is protecting andy and how she sets a bad example not wearing a mask at a time when covid is coming back more violently than ever. Unless she has decided to say, sod it; I am 94, my husband 99, my family is a disgrace, my government is a disgrace, let's give the virus a chance....vive la republique...

Hhhmmm🤔 I feel less alone in my randomness now. Firstly, I haven't looked at the Mohammed* caricature. There is an extreme-right movement in that country, though to be fair Muslims - for ex. in Germany, have been known to group-sexually assault women in crowds, so the exasperation and disgust goes both ways I'm sure. I for one would be vocal if the Pope or Jesus were degraded, however it wouldn't cross my mind to resort to violence and I wish it stopped. We don't decapitate in Europe since the guillotine was outlawed, too. This Chechen boy had something to prove to himself about being Muslim, more so than being in line with Islam, imo. There are enough ideas to debate -philosophically - without stooping this low. We need parameters of mutual respect, and enough self-awareness to keep savagery in check, so we can just talk. As per Harry or Andrew and titles, apparently Parliament not the Queen can remove them. (I wish my bestie and William wore masks, btw, or kept public engagements undocumented so as to not show a controversial example). The US official complaint in London may set in motion votes to remove H&M's titles. And the social media users as drug addicts quote by MM was plagiarized from a documentary called Social Dilemma. Seems they are just one step away from he guy who beheaded a teacher.Wonder what the two would say, if the caricature depicted harry in his nazi gear instead of mohammed.
