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

With regards to the Uni fees I'm inclined to believe Samantha, she's nasty but she hasn't lied. A story quoting unamed friends of M was put out that TM hadn't had a heart attack and Samantha said it's untrue he really did have an attack. She was right and in a documentary about M Samantha said her father paid M uni fees.

I believe Meghan went to one of the most expensive unis in the US, I'm struggling to see what work she could have done whilst attending that would have made a dent in the fees unless the burseries are extremely generous?

Plus TM invested some of his money in shares including Facebook which is how he paid for her first wedding (and accommodation for their guests if I remember correctly)

Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle.

PC is in Jerusalem at a memorial service noting the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

That probably explains the private jet. He was on a tight schedule, and for this engagement, which was probably in the diary before Davros, he absolutely wouldn't want to risk any delays or travel issues.

There have actually been yachting rumours on various blind sites for years. Probably complete rubbish:

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

That’s just the online Khardashianesque fanbase, and as Ovienna said, mostly Americans.
^It’s absolutely no reflection on work and outreach in the real world.
MM and her team do things for optics, and their real goal is online numbers.^

My comment wasn't that it was a reflection of KM's outreach (as if Instagram would be the reliable measure ) but rather that for brands, that is significant. They do look for number of followers and number of likes. The point is that MM and KM are playing in different leagues now. Which is even demonstrated by KM posting a number of updates throughout the day, rather than one as the number of 'likes' will be reduced across multiple posts.

Oh my word, I absolutely love Princess Anne...what a legend.

yolofish · 23/01/2020 12:34

Re the 'once you've encountered a narc you spot them instantly' - yes, I totally agree. I have an ex-friend, we were very close for at least 15 years, and eventually the scales fell from my eyes and I realised it was all about her. At one stage I was scared she'd put petrol through my letterbox!

Wasnt Davos yesterday anyway re PC? probably not that easy to get from Davos to Jerusalem, and he absolutely wouldnt have wanted to be late.

annielouise · 23/01/2020 12:35

How do people know he paid for school but not university? Not being snippy but where has that been said? Americans call university, school, just to confuse things.

GoFiguire · 23/01/2020 12:37

When does the TM programmer air in Canada?

PinkSun9 · 23/01/2020 12:40

Thomas Markle won the lottery in 1991when Mm was 9 yrs old. He had no money to pay for her Uni because by then he had been bankrupted twice.

InkyToesies · 23/01/2020 12:45

Hi. I've read all the threads and am just de-lurking to say how interesting and illuminating they've been, and also to add my tuppence-worth.

Like many other posters have mentioned, I don't think Harry is overly-brained, nor do I think he has much self-awareness. I remember seeing an interview with Prince William in which he said that he'd decided he wasn't going to let his mother's death define him. I thought that was such a mature, wise and healthy outlook. Harry on the other hand - train crash.

I think the marriage has already started to unravel and events seem to be going at breakneck speed. Harry is looking and behaving like a man stuck in a hall of mirrors and who doesn't know which way is up.

I suspect Meghan will manage the circumstances of the marriage's ending, but I'm intrigued as to how she'll achieve that and still maintain her role of victim.

rockingchaircandle · 23/01/2020 12:56

Can you stop with this narcissist stuff!

You have no idea if she is it not. You just want another stick to beat her with!

TheBrokenPagoda · 23/01/2020 12:57

I made a previous comment about Thomas Markle I regret - based solely on the news coverage of him.

I am watching the documentary now and I actually think he is lovely really, flawed in a way as we all are but a decent and heart broken man. The documentary is a love story to Meghan. He is broken. I hope she watches it. He really doesn't deserve to die alone without this being resolved.

yolofish · 23/01/2020 13:00

rockingchair fair point, BUT and it's a big but, there are people who are recognising patterns of behaviour and commenting. Maybe an extrapolation, maybe not, but reasonable to comment IMO.

I'm OKish btw, do hope everyone else is! Trying to decide what to have for lunch and then dinner... and believe me I know that's a luxury!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 23/01/2020 13:02

Whatever the rights and wrongs and permutations of the situation, how appalling to leave TM without any support, never bother to meet him, offer useless advice to just ignore being harassed by the paparazzi (something he’s always so quick to condemn publicly), and then tell a guy who’s had a flipping heart attack that he brought it all on himself, essentially?

It just comes across as a totally self-centred, uncaring and high-handed approach - a cruel approach, which is not what I would have expected at all

I agree with the analysis, Nomintrude, but am not sure why you're surprised? Harry's a blood member of the RF - the son of Charles, for heaven's sake - and despite the occasional PR stunts the attitude of "we're different and the rules don't count" spills out only too easily

Just as with Andrew we carry on about the latest scandals, but with no accountability at all they know their position's secure as long as the majority prefer them to a presidency - and their position is what will be prioritised first, last and always

Given time I honestly believe this will change - in fact it IS already changing - but I doubt it'll shift enough in my lifetime

TheBrokenPagoda · 23/01/2020 13:02

How am I? Thanks for asking not many people do. I feel ashamed for slagging off Thomas Markle.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 23/01/2020 13:11

the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz ... probably explains the private jet. He was on a tight schedule, and for this engagement ... he absolutely wouldn't want to risk any delays or travel issues

Not really; after all he could easily have flown commercial to Davos, then used one of Switzerland's numerous private aircraft to reach Israel if things were getting tight

If there was a real problem he could even have missed the "climate opportunity", but somehow I doubt he'd have wanted to pass up another bit of pretence

IMO Kate is close to her family. Has said she felt isolated in Anglesey with a new born but didn’t vent over social media about it. She hasn’t had friends leak private communications between her family members despite media scrutiny. She remained silent as did her family. The RF way.

MM has used social media. Her friends leaked elements of the letter which could only have come from her... as only she and recipient should know the contents. TM is following her lead in effect in how he is trying to communicate. So she started this course of events. She has retained her previous professional advisors ... unknown if they collaborated with the experienced RF advisors but with the shock announcement it appears not much.

7Worfs · 23/01/2020 13:28

It’s clear that Meghan was on the prowl for a husband, and the spec sheet was ‘English and rich’. It really should have been Ashley Cole...

Am also okay - had lunch out, with a big slice of lovely carrot cake for dessert, whilst at home people were sanding and polishing my parquet. Feeling like a princess really. 👸🏻

Parker231 · 23/01/2020 13:37

@InkyToesies - what do you think is up with their marriage. From the pictures I’ve seen they look like a happy couple with a cute baby.

Roussette · 23/01/2020 13:42

Totally agree Parker231 but anyone can make anything up can't they? According to some, the marriage is about to end. As if !

katie I presume I am one to which you refer with a daft name. If you mean we don't add anything to the conversation because we don't agree with ridiculous assumptions and falsities, yep you're right.

No point in even trying to say 'something of substance' as the OP has told everyone repeatedly to ignore us and not engage.

TheBrokenPagoda · 23/01/2020 13:42

@Parker231 I know right? Just like when people say Melania and Trump don't seem happy these days. All I see is this cute couple with a great kid. I have no idea why anyone would think there are any issues there.

phpolly · 23/01/2020 13:44

I wonder whether Meghan might be able to manage the end of her marriage and still maintain the role of victim (per Inky's post) by using the diary she was supposedly keeping during her time in the RF....

7Worfs · 23/01/2020 13:45

I’m snickering in my sleeve. I wish I was more mature. Crown Grin

PerfPower · 23/01/2020 13:46

Pinksun How does TM going bankrupt in 2016 prove he was too poor to pay her uni fees in 1999 - 2002? (8 years after winning the lottery?)
