I'm skipping Thomas Markle altogether, or his white daughter and that ridiculous Piers Morgan guy. I think Harry's doing a good job keeping a low profile at the moment. I'm touched by what his Argentinian friend has to say about Harry's pain. I'm less impressed that he should think the cure to trauma brought on by his mom's media spotlight should be... more spotlight, such as meeting Ellen DeGeneres or being in front of any camera. A good friend might say to Harry that you don't go feeding the media beast and think you'll tame it. You can't negotiate with a mob mentality. In more ways than one. Had Harry moved to Argentina, he might have had more privacy. He could have become a gentleman farmer, who knows. There are tons of self-effaced aristocrats. Whatever Youtuber Sue Blackhurst (?) has to say about his confidence and her narcissism - actually the funniest thing is the slow motion replay of the wedding at the altar - the bottom line is that fatherhood is a very important thing happening to Harry right now. He's going to be a great dad. If he needs safer digs, he can always hop over to another prince's Vancouver PH with his family. It's unfortunately not being used by his shunned beloved. www.standard.co.uk/insider/royalssociety/prince-harry-suffered-wants-normal-life-friend-nacho-figueras-a4348221.html

If there was ever a good reason not to head for the US, the recent floodgates of landmines' use, being heralded by Trump, should be one. That's if it doesn't qualify as the regular underhanded passive aggressive affront of a welcome mat, of course. time.com/5682006/princess-diana-landmines/

How are you liking it Agentf? Not everyone else is nice. They just have a fraction of warmth within them which makes them human and likable. The queen: Okay, I will. I looked up the episodes and little synopses online after you said that. I know people rave about it. Just one thing though, but straight off it's just suaoicious that EVERYONE is so nice, except her. No? Could it be a bit caricatured? Anyways, I'll watch some and find out. I did watch the story of the other Prince William, QE2's dashing Bond-esque pilot cousin. Otherwise, boom. Yesterday was not a particular day for euphoria. As much as I would love Harry to find himself, it's always with some emotion that you watch a fish come out of the water, even when standing from the other shore. It's just unnatural. I honestly don't think Harry knows what it is to be royal. That he got there by centuries of "tours in Afghanistan" (with the French alone). (I say it, void of any bitterness fyi). But if he feels so strongly, then maybe he was born different from his kin, and he has to follow his destiny. And on that, no doubt we all wish him well. I sooooo recommend you see The Crown. It is a fabulous show. Just try not to be annoyed by the queen's AWFUL persona. She has to be the most despicable person in the world, so cold and frigid to her own children and sister, just HORRIBLE and even more so because she has been "worshipped" by millions for decades. She may seem an old "fragile" lady now, but in her hayday she was heartless and cruel. Everyone else is fabulous and the historical accuracy is thrilling. The Crown is such an antidote to the glossy magazine covering of the royals, so I would recommend watching it for everyone. Really makes one view the royal institution in a new light. I wouldn't be surprised if Catherine is as cold and indifferent to other people's feelings as the old queen, hence she has thrived so marvelously [/quote]

donna Apparently, prince Philip took issue with a recent scene. I'm not totally caught up yet, thanks for asking. I watch the news and get a lot of drama these days. 😊 Otherwise, the lovebirds flew to Florida for a black economy symposium hosted by JP Morgan...and Harry spoke of Diana. Because. And therapy. Meghan opened with a declaration of love for her husband. In another dimension, Henry speaks with his mom in his prayers, and promotes British markets and the fact the Commomwealth already im/exports from black/brown economies and that Africa is the future. After Brexit, it's said actually that the UK will look to the Middle East. But... Florida. Trump country. I hear lovely Rosie Huntington etc and my fave action star Jason Statham miss British humour and culture so much, they're selling their Malibu home and looking to come home. Emphasis on "come home". 😉 But who am I.

Contrary to what anyone else thinks, I feel this is a blessing in disguise that will ultimately give H & M more control over their life and brand. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8018043/Queen-BANS-Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-using-Sussex-Royal-brand-cost-thousands.htmlRight away, it means not having to go to court with those in the US, Canada and Australia(?) who were quick to trademark the name Sussex Royal before them. Given that lawsuits are painful, costly and bad publicity, the couple can sigh their relief. Secondly, by losing their web design firm with clingy co-clients bent on profiting, they nip undesirable cross-branding. And whoever manages their Sussex Royal social media had horrendous and upsetting timing, IMO. That lame soundtrack on the video of Harry's last UK appearance about being eager to leave the country? It's probably why Loose Women think they would not be welcomed back just yet. The bottom line also is that you cannot let wannabes troll your own birthright, and that's what the current PR team was doing. I think trusting grand'maman's instincts is not a bad idea; she has managed her brand flawlessly and has adapted to the times with great dexterity. No doubt, H&M will do much better next time, after the first rough few steps.

How's this for a name "Harry sucks royally"? What the hell is wrong with them?! Stop it already with the statements. I swear the Queen has more patience than me for this nonsense: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8030241/Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-stop-using-Sussex-Royal-brand-territory-spring.htmlIf you have a beef with your grandmother, come out with it already, but these stupid passive-aggressive digs are super petty. Do they think they have some mission to take down the monarchy? Petulant and insignificant. What a blind spot for Harry, and far too much undeserved attention as it is for his wife. They're going full Markle, it seems.

Is it me or did Meghan tweak her nose? Mixed reports about the farewell, beginning with grandstanding Camilla with a release of a "secret" visit. Their rainy pic is indeed eye-catching (if you ignore coatless short sleeves in the rain). I'm less worried about Archie staying behind, what with Coronavirus. I hope his parents disinfect before touching him again.

An unfortunate reference more intended at the white side of the Markle family, about the British considering them "five clicks above trailer trash" is making the rounds, as well as other criticisms countered by the Sussex fandom...it will all be over soon with everyone retiring to their corners. A good "cure de sommeil" for the new parents and a return to other matters for the BRF. I'm looking forward to QE2's speech today about prosperity and protecting the planet.
*a foootnote: the Sussex PR guy Mr Grandstand formerly know as Mr X-site and a car sticker featuring Greta Thunberg being raped and pulled by the braids (made for Canadian oil workers) seem to be related.

It's so hard not to watch all the Youtube videos on the couple, to catch up on the fuss over the last year or so but one person comes up as totally out of line - Jessica Mulroney!?! This is a woman associated to Meghan in Canada who conveys this armchair passive aggression at a distance...at Kate. Cheap shots then deleted, how uncowardly 🙄 When you get passed the trout pout and fake tan...let me know what she really has to say because I quite couldn't. It's a bit like the time I had to sit through a McGill lecture featuring her father-in-law, organized by the History department who kept repeating the invitation in class (few showed interest, it was getting embarrassing). Charles Bronfman introduced him and before you could even run to the checkroom for your coat, there they were hand outstretched as though stomping. I don't recall having such a recoil and am so thankful others came rushing to get out of there almost as fast as me. I mean, who revises his legacy when his parliament seat is still warm? And physically off-putting too. Maybe it's why him serenading Trump at Mar-a-Lago just seals that first impression for me. Sorry. But to go out there and sling mud at the future queen of England? It's going to take more than implanted balls. Grow a real pair, Jessica.
{ Upon closer inspection, Jessica is née Brownstein of a Canadian shoe retailer family related to Dr Waxman, the often insurance GP to Hollywood productions in Toronto (who doesn't shy from conflicts of interest). The latter is also the best friend of the aforementioned fellow major rental landlord/Mar-a-Lago habitué/police uniform supplier linked to the death of a Muslim teen he seduced in the 90s heyday of the Trump/Epstein connection. "Beau monde"...}

There's irony here somewhere. And an insult, depending on viewpoint, mostly that H&M's American protection would be valued at only $1 million. Trump as always is mouthing off before any request has been made to him. pagesix.com/2020/03/29/trump-says-us-will-not-pay-for-prince-harry-meghan-markles-security/However, for young people who received the gift of a multimillion dollar wedding and a multimillion dollar retrofit on their UK home, their behaviour is so akin to Trump's trail of tax laxity and unpaid rallies, as well as to another US official apparently closer to Meghan - Steve Mnuchin, (who in real life is a Hollywood producer, ask Guy Ritchie) that you would think the administration would recognize and welcome one of their own in their bosom. Instead, they're going to make Harry ask, to make themselves feel bigger no doubt. People threw up all the red flags. What they can't do is make decisions for him.

If a woman married to a brain-damaged rock star who once chewed a bat's head off actually says Los Angeles will be a nightmare for Harry, he might want to listen and Sharon Osbourne absolutely must know her stuff in terms of nightmares: www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1263204/Meghan-Markle-Prince-Harry-news-LA-move-Duke-Duchess-of-Sussex-Royal-Family-latestSpeaking of "alien", I loved World Detour: What's more if it's true Oscar winner Natalie Portman's completed documentary voiceover was dismissed to make room for Meghan and that Disney fired who Harry pitched for the voiceover... well, good luck with that.

I seem to be at crosspurposes with my bestie today, and I beg her forgiveness but some research IS important. Having said that... the terrible two have yet another upsetting bit of news, floating a biography that can hardly be considered journalistically serious. www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/prince-harry-meghan-markle-biography-sussexes-a4424291.htmlIn that optic, they may not want to open that door. Firstly, it renders moot their current legal action regarding her father's letter. (That's another one whom I might have to beg forgiveness.) Secondly, the blind items on MM are rather consistent (and plenty), and her desire to emulate Angelina Jolie might have more to do with sexual supremacy than talent. Footage of her flashing her underwear at Serena Williams' husband is out there, among many damning things. So long as Harry was happy, and that his baby was born safely, I could see nothing to really comment on. But this relentless destructive path is just too much. They could be private, if they really wanted. They attack QE2 with such loathing, one wonders if they're possessed. It makes no sense.

The title of their "biography" is galling and offensive, none the least to the Raglands I imagine. "Finding Freedom" evokes slavery, and given that emancipation came late to the US long after it had been enacted in the UK in the 19th century, it points to the kind of revisionism only her friend Ivanka's dad is guilty of - the boomerang kind. Harry's mom-in-law can maybe claim having found freedom, since her roots return to the Deep South but in 21st century UK, many would say blacks have it good as do many people there from Commonwealth countries. These two have such disregard, it's unbelievable. Go talk to people who in Africa are considered hereditary slaves because of the tribes they belong to, and this by their fellow black Africans. Go speak to Indians of certain castes, about freedom. Or to agrarian Maghrebins. Or economic slaves. Or sex slaves. But a prince and an American?!? Seriously. Shame on you.

A reliable Youtube source is claiming Meghan made Princess Charlotte cry and caused a tear in her dress, prompting Kate to also cry (who was still hormonal after delivery), ahead of H & M's wedding ceremony rather than it being a spat about bare legs. It was witnessed by little Prince George who told his dad. That could explain QE2's intense glance during the wedding. Apparently Lady Colin Campbell is coming out with the details in her upcoming book. (Shakes her head).
