H & M - The Cat, The Barber and the Argyll Pheasant Pluckers

[TheMustressMhor]

I hope I've got what everyone wants in the title of this, the twelfth thread in the series.

CurlyWurly and Mustress just saw your posts as well. Devastating to have been the victim of this behaviour. It must all seem inexplicable in hindsight.

Meghan didn't work as a prostitute lol!!! She played one.

I dont think there was enough evidence about SM to say. Seems to me she got a raw deal out of her childhood too. "Golden Child" Meghan.

I meant in her TV interviews. Nothing to do with the interview last night

Her jealousy of Kate is incredible. No wonder the Cambridges distances themselves. I think that was the simple reason behind the split between the 2 households. Meghan was jealous of Kate (and given how fond Harry & Kate were of each other) she did not want Kate next door.

Complete supposition. You really need to preface that with IMO.

The Sussexes barely got anything they wanted and overplayed their hand in their “leaving negotiations”.

Very interesting post.

I can’t help thinking (and it’s just my opinion of course) that they’ve massively screwed up here. Their lack of judgement has been evident on numerous occasions IMO but the way they’ve handled this latest situation really is another level.

Posting on Instagram about a visit Meghan made several weeks ago when she was still a working royal is another odd move - like they’re trying to cling onto the royal status they no longer have. It’s a shame really, because they could have had it all.

Having looked at it though, MM's animal charity photo got significantly more 'likes' than KM's work.

Shamelessly place marking!

As PA toured the prison, a prisoner decided to protest about the food, climbed on top of a table next to a big window which she was due to pass imminently, stripped off completely and waved to the princess. He didn't even use all of his fingers when he waved.

At least he used his fingers.

And that's always been the inconvenient truth.

Social Media 'likes' are very important if you are looking to cash in with brands, so should work well in PH and MM's new lives.

It was a very cold day.

sunsetboulevard thank you for that info on the shadow side, it explains a lot about my relative. I will look into it more.

LOL I don't think DOC is only there for the likes. You couldn't pay me to do what she does, being relentlessly cheerful and polite day after day and having every aspect of her clothing, hair, and makeup choices dissected online each time. She's got 3 kids under 7, it must be insanely difficult even with the nanny and staff because she's the one in charge of her household overall. The mental burden must be huge.

Having followed every thread and watched most of the Chanel 5 documentary I am somewhat surprised "little wife syndrome" has not been mentioned. It seems to me Thomas Markle rather than being a good Father may have treated Meghan more as a as a substitute wife/partner.
A previous poster mentioned money being used as emotional currency, I am inclined to agree.
Whilst Thomas Markle came across as being calm and softly spoken and I began to sorry for him I also detected veiled threats and there is more to come. The fact that his tone of voice changed when he said of course she played a stripper and a prostitute implying "there nothing she wouldn't do" tone to his voice.
At this stage H might be thinking there is not too much to worry about but M will be very worried TM is about to ramp it up.

Whilst I said he came across well ( well better than I thought), he probably shouldn't have done the interview, although I suspect it was to pay his medical bills. If he lives in Mexico, don't think his bills would have been covered.
If it is true what Harry said " if you'd listened to me", then that was pretty awful.
However I do wonder what else strained their relationship. He says she was living with him before she went to college, and yet she was apparently living with her mum.
Am sure some of it was accurate, but definitely not everything.

Nikhedonia Got it.
The Yanks will explain MM's likes on Instagram. I admit I haven't forensically examined the comments but my sense is they were weighted to Americans. I think it is possible people who don't normally follow members of the RF follow them. SO they might be capturing the usual followers who follow many accounts and others who don't. If that makes sense.

The thing is you can have a toxic dad/wider family and also have issues yourself. This is the onion that is unpeeling itself before our eyes here, IMO. I also wondered about where the rest of Doria's family could have been. So much focus on the Markles. Yes, I know it was an interview with him, but he even brought it up himself, why wasn't someone there with her. Well, who then? He'd be best placed to know about his support system, why would the RF? Meghan would know but then that is an issue with HER communicating, not them.

I agree they haven't managed him/the situation at all well. That is an understatement. But I do wonder if Meghan thought - where can this go? Can this guy be trusted to be let into the family circle and not do something damaging/primarily in his own interests? Now there is no chance of that not being the case.

As in a lot of cases, it's unlikely that the "fault" is all on one side.

My sibling & I had a falling out recently.

How we each viewed things was from the perspective of the other completely skewed!

Was TM working at the time of the wedding?

I always thought it was odd that he wouldn't have been over for as long as possible to be prepared/suited & booted.

Well the same with Doria, she wasn't over for long was she?

I really don't think he has tens of thousands of medical bills to pay, if he's on Medicare. Also, he didn't say that, did he?

I was quite surprised. TM came over as a lot less brash and far calmer than I expected.
However, I was a bit dubious about the supposed naivety around the guy faking photos to improve his image. He spent his career working on film and TV sets. He can't really have picked up the phone to some random suggesting this plan and thought it sounded like a good idea?
The whole "they owe me" bit to me sounded more "I think I have been badly treated and they should be grateful I haven't really dished the dirt on all I know" rather than a direct "they should be giving me money". Kind of a request for inclusion and recognition, if that makes sense?

Good morning all 👋👋👋 - enquiries as to where I was last night ! I never knew you cared

Many thanks to those posting synopsis ( synopsi?? ) re TM programme and especial thanks to SingingLily for her fabulous story about Princess Anne . Her interview with Parkinson about an attempted kidnapping shows a unflappable wit ,

A much calmer tone to this thread compared to earlier ones ,I credit the inclusion of cat photos .(Not trying to upset those who disliked the dilution of subject matter ,just my POV ! )

oh ok Nikhedonia I obviously misunderstood - thanks for setting me straight! I figured that would have been a headline if true

A point about Doria's family: she is shown in footage from Meghan's graduation and someone from her family hugs Meghan and says something about never seeing her anymore, in a hurt manner. I wonder why this caring uncle or cousin or otherwise family member close enough to travel to her graduation, wasn't at the wedding. Doria has 3 half-siblings according to Wikipedia. I'm guessing that none of them were invited and that her lone figure sitting there was partly for dramatics. Poor Meghan, no family (that she's willing to invite) other than her mum.

On the other hand, Michelle Obama invited her entire family, distant or not, and Barack's to their inauguration (and many of the same to their wedding). They didn't leave out his stepmum who has made the papers for living in a bungalow in Bracknell and loving her bingo, nor did they leave out other distant family members. Two very high profile events, 2 very different approaches. Funnily enough I don't see Obama family members doing bitter interviews for TV.

The Obamas had plenty of childhood, school, university, and work friends too at their inauguration and wedding. They don't seem to "drop" people as they've moved up the ladder, even if socialising with them after becoming the most protected family in possibly the world became almost too difficult to do.

The Obamas are a class act, they seem like such lovely people. And by god they grafted! Michelle's book is very good.
