They never lived at Frogmore, surely they must have at least moved in if only for a few days? What a fucking waste of money!

And the £2.4m of taxpayers money for the renovation of a listed building - fine; but if the listed building is renovated in a particular way for a particular use then that stops it being used in any other way doesnt it? EG I believe it used to be apartments for estate workers, now it's a fuck off big house for a couple a baby and their staff, therefore less potential use given the taxpayer money that went into it.

Anyone else think Thomas Markle is not coming across well?

(p.s. Are you into adult colouring? Just wondering with your username)

Ah, I love my colouring in. I thought while others had their cats we could have our colouring. I can't paint my nails let alone a picture! Grin

*Today Thomas Markle was exposed as having told a large and elaborate lie about Meghan, his past relationship with her, and about his past financial circumstances.

He claimed to have paid for Meghan's first wedding by selling $20,000 worth of Facebook shares. Except Meghan got married eight months before Facebook first became a publicly traded company (meaning Facebook shares literally did not exist at the time of her wedding).*

He lies and he lies and he lies

Where did Archie live if not Frogmore?

rockingchaircandle · 23/01/2020 22:21

Ah, so we don't know anyone shouted her name. It was just a suggestion.

So we don't need to insist she's not acting appropriately as a mother because she didn't hide, when something might have happened. Or that's she's unnatural for smiling.

Could be someone called her, could be she was just happy, could be paps disguised as something innocuous.

I still don't see how someone who's childhood videos show she's always acting and someone that's scheming and manipulative enough to persuade a prince to marry her, manages to forget to act natural when she's organised paps. Unless, she didn't!

Agree Yolo I don't think they ever really wanted it.

katiegoestoaldi · 23/01/2020 22:25

An update

There are unlisted shares which are traded before IPO.

So maybe TM isn't lying after all

Rocking, i think you're just clutching at straws now. Thats some very twisty thinking there

yolofish · 23/01/2020 22:31

catherine we're back to "they wanted to live in Windsor Castle but got a boring looking 'cottage' which needed shitloads spending on it" again!

eggandonion · 23/01/2020 22:33

I think Frogmore looked OK, I'd have had it. I think it like it better than the Norfolk place William has, it's very remote (we got lost in Norfolk one, beautiful scenery but I'm a city slicker). Where was wee Archie then, does anyone know?

I thought you couldn't sell pre-IPO shares until after the IPO? That was my experience anyway.

goldierocks · 23/01/2020 22:45

I agree with you katiegoestoaldi - maybe folks genuinely don't know that shares are available to buy/sell well in advance of any initial public offering (IPO)?

Here is an article confirming Facebook stock being sold for massive profit back in 2010. Those shares would become available to buy/re-sell on the secondary market.

I thought TM was very candid and openly admitted to the occasions he'd lied. It would seem very odd to me that he'd lie about selling Facebook shares in 2011 when it's would be so easy for the tabloids to disprove.

rockingchaircandle · 23/01/2020 22:45

@katiegoestoaldi

Smile well that's better than name calling!

How is it clutching at straws? That's not very clear?

  1. There are clearly possible reasons why she appears to be smiling at the camera.
  2. For someone who's an expert manipulator, why didn't she managed to ignore the cameras?

That's before you factor in who may have been sued before. So, there's no need to keep to 'prearranged' pap allegations!

Cuttingthegrass · 23/01/2020 22:48

We’ve had a senior royal abdicate

Within 2 years of meeting his soul mate

Without the princes family being able to help....we don’t know if he’s wife’s family could help as they were ostracised

Bit odd

bluebell34567 · 23/01/2020 22:58

i am not sure H is always under her spell.
there was a footage about all of them in BP balcony and H said something to her and she was seen nearly crying.
this is the only one what we saw. there may have happened other stuff off the public eye.
i think such things were milestones for her to move away.

yolofish · 23/01/2020 22:58

*We’ve had a senior royal abdicate

It rhymes!! maybe we could turn it into a limerick?

We've had a senior royal abdicate
Within 2 years of meeting his soul mate
The trio has gone
The paps are full on
And taxpayers dont want to capitulate

Am sure someone can do so much better...

katiegoestoaldi · 23/01/2020 22:59

Why would she ignore the cameras? She's got to smile and look her best right? A paparazzi disguised as something innocuous? Like the meme I shared earlier perhaps?

She's certainly not looking harassed is she?

Yes that must have been hard bluebell, can't imagine fighting back tears while on full display to the world

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 23/01/2020 23:09

You are looking for answers whilst refusing to countenance the one people keep suggesting so don't expect it to make sense.

I'll leave this by saying what I said in thread 1 or 2 (can't remember anymore)

Had this been the wedding day and posters here said, 'this couple are mismatched and this marriage will result in Harry leaving the RF and his beloved patronages in less than 2 years' You likely would have scoffed and called us negative naysayers or of projecting our experiences.

But some of us did say things would go awry. We were looking at the things people are still dismissing even now and building up a picture based on that. lack of decent family at wedding. Quick courtship. No visit to father. Mother flown in last minute. Ghosting of previous acquaintances.

Now the predictions have come true (quicker than anyone thought) it's still all just a series of coincidences. I can understand people not swallowing everything said about M, but at what point, looking at the results, do you not say 'what is the variable here?'

It's like Charles and Diana divorcing and refusing to accept that the massive variable is Camilla.

Or Edward abdicating and the variable isn't WS

Of course there's interaction in both.

That video posted earlier at Canada House. for eg. H is literally told to sit. I would find that weird. He's a partner not a child. Hand holding is all good, but I have found the ushering of him (hand on back guiding him along) frankly weird and that clip just screamed 'mother telling her child what to do'. IMO it's controlling and red flag waving. But just another normal coincidence no doubt.

I know what I think and imo I think it's classic textbook and not healthy.

yolofish · 23/01/2020 23:10

there was a footage about all of them in BP balcony and H said something to her and she was seen nearly crying. was that when she wouldnt face the front for the national anthem?

In which case, get a grip woman (not you, her). Actresses know all about finding their mark, where to look when etc. It's not difficult to know that if the national anthem is about to be played you stand to attention, face the front and look solemn! Even the general public manage it...

eggandonion · 23/01/2020 23:18

Americans do take the anthem, flag etc very seriously (my kids spent a term at school in USA and can recite the Oath of Allegiance twenty years on). So Meghan should have been ready to observe the niceties.

rockingchaircandle · 23/01/2020 23:18

@katiegoestoaldi @CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook

No, you're not addressing the point!

Why would she go to the bother of arranging it and then smile directly at the camera?

She's a beautiful actress. Surely she would have gazed wistfully into the distance, or lovingly stroked her baby's head?

She's supposed to be good at this?!

katiegoestoaldi · 23/01/2020 23:22

Yes! I totally agree with all of that Catherine
