Was Millie at the wedding? Tbh I've heard her name but no idea what it is she actually does.

She had a hugely overpriced clothing line that went bust after a year, to absolutely nobody's suprise.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/11/2018 12:56

She must've been something before that though? Singer/model/whatever?

I don't like the headbands and I don't like fascinators, especially the ones that look like a bird making a nest in someone's hair.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/11/2018 13:03

I'm not a fan of fascinators either. They seem a very brutish thing. I've been to weddings in lots of different countries and only seen fascinators in the U.K.

British, not brutish!!!

Queen I think she was in one of those posh reality TV shoes, and then she married Professor Green. They're no longer together. She may even be remarried.

Another piece in the Fail today about Meghan's complicated tax status, and whilst she is a US citizen the US Government could "raid PH's multi-million pound fortune". They're really upping the ante.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/11/2018 13:15

The Mail's obsession with depicting Meghan as a villain is getting very tiresome. Hideous misogynistic xenophobic rag.

Wow, the Fail are really going for Meghan this past week.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/11/2018 13:25

There isn't much Meghan can do about US tax laws. And if she was fast-tracked into getting British citizenship then the Fail would have even more to say. Seems like she can't win!

Goodness, I was only away for a weekend and we're halfway through a new fred. Excellent work. Blatant placemark.

RainbowsArePretty · 18/11/2018 13:58

Awww the pic of Louis and Charles makes my overview ache!

This may all be the PR machine to get us all to like PC but if they keep releasing super cute pics of the kids with him it'll work on me Smile

Cornwall73 · 18/11/2018 14:18

I cannot stand the word ‘facinator’ let alone the item itself....

Very cute pic of PC and Louis. No wonder Kate is besotted, super smiley baby Smile

beanaseireann · 18/11/2018 14:35

I have to say I like a fascinator myself.
The VB clip was funny.
What did Kate say to William at the end of the clip posted by Pupsiecola ?

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 18/11/2018 14:37

I’d give the DM the benefit of the doubt with the US Tax article- isn’t it fairly well known that American citizens who live abroad are still liable to pay tax there?

It wasn’t nastily written, it just goes on to explain what the different tax rules in the US mean for her given her really unusual situation.

WindyWednesday · 18/11/2018 14:44

Kate said I’m not good at this, or similar

SenecaFalls · 18/11/2018 14:57

Well, I hope that the DM is more knowledgeable about US tax laws than they are about English grammar (emphasis mine):

"Meghan's last return, which would have to of been submitted to US authorities by April 17"

Newspeak · 18/11/2018 15:20

Meghan will have the top accountants in the world like anyone with money you can get out of paying tax. She will pay the barest minimum.

Not dissing her for that but it's unlikely the USA will get there hands on any of PH pounds. Daily Fail stirring the pot again the more they hate her the more I like her!

PawneeParksDept · 18/11/2018 15:34

@QueenOfTheAndals

The Mail wanged on for weeks that she was definitely Chief Bridesmaid

She wasn't invited which just goes to show how much truth their RF "journalism" contains

7salmonswimming · 18/11/2018 15:38

The US tax stuff is 100% nonsense. I mean, reall. HMRC and the IRS will come (if they haven’t already) to an agreement, which will have nothing to do with the rules “ordinary” people have to play by. It’s a diplomatic issue, not a fiscal issue. Someone at the DM just had a “I wonder what....” idea and actually put it to paper.

(Many many people with exceptional circumstances (eg extreme wealth, notoriety or fame) get similar special consideration)

Incidentally, the DM’s article on MM and the winds of change she’s apparently blowing into the RF is actually quite remarkable. It’s a page of absolute non-fact, non-news, non-novelty. It’s 100% speculation and supposition. Quite remarkably skilled, really.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/11/2018 15:38

Meghan will be at the Royal Variety Performance tomorrow evening. No Kate events lined up til the annual diplomatic reception next month. That's usually a gown and tiara occasion but we won't see any photos beyond a car shot.

OP posts:
PawneeParksDept · 18/11/2018 15:41

Does anyone remember some of the weird deliberately speculative articles they've done like

WE IMAGINE WILLIAMS CHRISTMAS AT HIS IN LAWS

WE IMAGINE IF DIANA WASNT DEAD

WE IMAGINE HOW THEY WOULD ALL FARE IF THE QUEEN ABDICATED

I can't remember exact titles or I'd link but they splendidly batshit

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 18/11/2018 15:59

It’s the usual bile. They’ve moved on from ‘breath of fresh air’. Hopefully Meghan continues with her excellent work ethic, has a super cute baby & they will then have to find a new victim.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 18/11/2018 16:47

Just read that Mail article. Now know MM gets up early. Srsly Mail, that's some groundbreaking journalism right there...

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/11/2018 16:50

If she was having lie-ins til mid-morning they'd accuse her of being lazy!
