Harry and Meghan - "It Has Come To This"

[TheMustressMhor]

These are the words of Prince Harry. He sounded defeated. He has lost his military patronages. He is no longer living anywhere near his brother or father. He is moving to Canada.

Meanwhile, Meghan has been photographed in the park, with Archie and the dogs, beaming. It seems that she alerted the paparazzi herself. Meghan has truly got what Meghan wants.

I wonder what they said to one another when he got back?

I don’t think any of Kate’s engagements will be publicised in advance now.

And until just now I was still convinced the undone coat thing at Eugenie & Jack's wedding was not done on purpose. Just the way Meghan liked to wear her coats with no interior motive at play.

Just a casual dog walk. Definitely didn’t call the paps....

The latest instagram post is a low blow. I hope those who wade in to this post and criticise us for not supporting a fellow woman take a long hard look at the bitchiness and pettiness from Meghan

What’s the post?

The time stamp I saw on it when I looked was that it was posted 43 minutes ago, just when Kate's been in the news this morning for her new initiative

Poor Archie looks like an accessory in that photo.

Wow! that is really a bitchy thing to do. Or, maybe she didnt know about Kate's thing? clutching at the very last straw I am!

He’s not even in the sling properly!

Agree that she would be a great face of a make up or skincare brand. Her skin is just amazing.
I'm not sure as she has loads of freckles and moles which not everyone is keen on. One leading magazine reported they may have darkened due to hormonal changes whilst pregnant and that her skin was dehydrated. Doesn't sound as if she has "amazing skin".

I sincerely hope she doesn't play on any aspect of her looks as that would surely detract from some of her interests to do with women being impoverished or lacking education in various countries or lacking personal power.

Yes, Pippa Funnel's car promo deal is focused in Asia, so considerable less well known here. But you earn considerable amounts there (as PP knows from the milk).

Rolex has had a string of high profile sports stars on their ads over the years. ZP's sporting achievements are a good fit with the others.

If there is a good fit between level and nature of achievement of those typically selected to advertise a brand, then there are far fewer calls about cashing in (I was about the milk!)

Oh she is stunning - I got spots during pregnancy so sure there's been some changes but she's obv got to the point where she is ready to get back to pre- preg beauty/exercise

I have actually really appreciated how Meghan didn't just suddenly become 6 stone nothing 2 days after giving birth - not a criticism of Kate who I think is just naturally tall and skinny now and not to say Meghan was fat or anything - far from it - but not that weird I had a baby but I went to the gym as soon as I got home type thing.....

I thought the idea was to step back from the Royal role. Not continue to post about old engagements.

I agree that she has beautiful skin. Her freckles are charming. Regardless of what I think of her personally I think she's very beautiful and stylish. I love her clothes and make up.

I'm also a bit 🧐 about the need to post anything right now - no idea if done to clash with Kate - how would she know unless it was something she was privy too from perhaps before the step down (these sorts of things usually planned well ahead?)

That said if it continues then either she's kept in the loop and playing games or there's someone feeding her info - both ways she'll be found out!

Or it was just coincidence but or probably not that big a deal to have more than one update from RF a day!

Or gym going on first day home maybe not weird for people who actually exercise

.... I'm not one of those

Spanish Lady

The pap photos of her walking the dogs with Merch coincided with Williams first solo engagement at BP. Now her post on Instagram coincides when Kate is in the news. Pap photos of her visiting a refuge and picking up a friend from the airport while the crunch talks were going on at the palace

Just seems very coincidental

There's a current news item in The Sun (quoting from the Daily Mail, admittedly so sorry for that. Here's a quote:

"Meghan has been telling her close friends that this is the best thing that could ever happen to Harry”

“That out of anyone he will flourish the most and that it was her love for him that made this possible,” the source said.

Oh please.

Going back to US tabloids , I see that Jeff Bezos story was about to be published in the NI before he issued his statement. So I wouldn’t say that it’s a low rag like in touch and OK! , those two are so weird always reporting Kate is pregnant with twins and craving curry.

Why does their logo include a crown?

They seem to still want to be active on social media but all on their terms.
What they don't realise is is that we just see more posts coming out from the royal family, wherever they are.
Most folk don't care if they're in Canada or wherever, I wouldn't notice unless they are splashing themselves over social media, so if they really want peace they want to chuck that. But of course they won't, it's like catnip to them.

I can't really credit that the timing of the Instagram was to detract from Kate. They've probably got no idea what Kate is doing in the UK...I really hope not anyway.

But I do wonder what the point of that sort of post is? Again-when you want to lie low-the first thing to do is stay away from your socials for a bit isn't it?
I had started to think I was being swayed by the negative media about them a bit too much and maybe I was being a bit too harsh in my view of them-but then this stuff and the public walks with paps and the drama about suing them-it just doesn't add up to what they said their stated aim was. They aren't helping themselves really.

The best way to deal with Paps seems to be what Sophie turner and whichever Jonas she is married to do-Give them a wave, or the finger, or pull silly faces at them. Accept you are famous and people will want pictures and mess with them a bit. In short get a sense of humour about it I guess. Assuming you have chosen your career or your already famous husband in the full knowledge it will make you of interest to the press.

If Diana had lived to experience social media I think it's fair to say she would have been all over it in a similar sort of way but then still would have decried any sort of intrusion or negative comment. But everyone knows that if you expose yourself on social media in any way you have to take the rough with the smooth. It's why I don't post anything about my political views on Facebook say-because I don't want I get into arguments or whatever else...if you don't want the attention, don't court it 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Wow! that is really a bitchy thing to do. Or, maybe she didnt know about Kate's thing? clutching at the very last straw I am!
The Sun newspaper posted the article and photos of Kate last night at 22:30 hours. Meghan has obviously seen them and her instagram post is the result of seeing them. I am really peed off with her now.

When the announcement was made that W&H had ended their feud, and that Meghan and Kate had encouraged them to do so, I was really pleased. I now feel that was total bollocks rubbish and Meghan is definitely feeding the feud. If she truly isn't then she needs to stop posting stuff on the days when Kate and William are in the news, unless she is posting her support for them. Harry needs to open his eyes and engage his brain cells and wake up to Meghan's games. I hope to goodness he hasn't become as pathetic as Meghan and isn't her partner in crime (but seriously beginning to think he might be).
