I think that glance at Kate could have equally been one of uncertainty. A quick let's see how she's doing it and then copy her.

I think that too.

Skip to 14 minutes the bit leading up that explains why Harry and Meghan are not senior royals. Embarrassing for Harry and Meghan- I’m no fan of Meghan but in a lot of these type of situations she seems to be set up to fail. Harry knows the etiquette why doesn’t he assist better she’s clearly looking to him for guidance.

weirdos.

Andylion · 25/05/2020 14:44

Oh for heaven's sake that has been slowed down so much it must have been a nanosecond. A look like that could have been caused by anything, a fly buzzing past, a stab of stomach ache, realising the person doing the filming is someone you find difficult. . .

I agree. I think Meghan was looking at Kate for guidance, I realize that may sound ridiculous as she always comes across as being over confident, but I doubt she would have thrown daggers at that moment.

Hamsterian · 25/05/2020 14:45

There are always seem to be excuses for her behaviour by some fans, “oh it’s been made up by the media”, but when it is in her favour then suddenly the media is a believable source.

There is plenty of footage with all sorts of odd things but still we’re not allowed to make up our own mind, it’s the video that’s been slowed down, it’s her words that have been misinterpreted, or “A look like that could have been caused by anything, a fly buzzing past, a stab of stomach ache, realising the person doing the filming is someone you find difficult”.
The amount of things that have been happened, and “gossip” that was said to be just gossip and then came out as true, is overwhelming. It’s just so much stuff now, I can’t believe there are still people making up excuses to the point of the non-sensical. And then accusing this thread of making up stuff 🤣

I also think there's too much over-analysing of slow down video clips. I remember eating lunch out with my dh (pre-lockdown) and I casually noted a woman walk past our table and thought she was wearing a nice top and I wondered where she got it from. Suddenly my dh asked me 'do you know that woman?' I said no and he replied oh, well why were you glaring at her like that then? So me casually noting a nice item of clothing that a stranger was wearing apparently appears like I'm glaring at them with fierce hatred! I'm also known for my bitchy resting face Grin We are reading far too much into it!

That said, the clip in real time between Sophie and MM definitely IS a real thing. I think MM was clearly caught by Sophie for preening at the camera in what was supposed to be a serious church ceremony.

lizzie1970a · 25/05/2020 16:53

Regarding two of the GIFs, the first and second, when M is supposed to be smirking or throwing daggers at K when she is behind her in some line-up, I can't really see it. For the first I thought she was talking to H and smirking at something he said, which they've done before (I think laughing at Liam Payne in a cathedral somewhere, if that's what they were doing). The second I don't really see the daggers either. As people have said they're so slowed down it's hard to see.

Also, M's body language and facial expressions are so contrived most of the time. What she thinks makes her look attractive, innocent, elegant, demure or regal or whatever she's aiming for can be seen through and just end up making her look false.

The third GIF of Sophie catching her out preening (good word by someone earlier) was a real caught-you moment. Look how M adjusts her face and her smile and tries to project herself. She's hardly ever natural.

Same with those photos of her modelling recently in the DM - the ones standing on a staircase with her hand up by her face/hair. She did that pose twice in the photo shoot and has often done it since marrying H. I don't know what she thinks it portrays - innocence? She's so often posing you don't know when she's genuine and I think it backfired on her with the public.

She's pretty much always acting, I think. And because of this it's hard to believe she is what she portrays (unless you're an idiot).

Puzzledandpissedoff · 25/05/2020 19:28

TBF most of the RF act up to a point; for example I don't imagine they're half as interested as they pretend in whatever's presented to them on all those visits

Fortunately, though, they're far more subtle about it and treat cameras as things that are just "there", rather than searching hungrily for them at every opportunity

7Worfs · 25/05/2020 20:07

I'm thinking they probably get coaching on how to stay present and listen. Seems almost like a superpower to me.

Jillyhilly · 25/05/2020 21:03

Yes, I’m no fan of MM but the overanalysing of one or two brief looks is absolutely ridiculous. I had to watch 4 or 5 times (slow day) to even begin to see what it was that was being referred to. And I’m sure if someone captured, slowed down and analysed every single look I’d ever given in public they’d think I was an absolute psycho.

Hamsterian · 25/05/2020 21:11

@Littleyellowfootball I saw that now and it’s a bit embarrassing. It seems that they were waiting in the wrong place or arrived too early? Someone should have been in charge to make sure people knew where to wait and where to go, and in what order. Harry seemed to know, why didn’t he tell Meghan? But Meghan could have waited for Harry to start walking and that way know it was their turn. It must be really hard to deal with all this protocol when you’re not used to this but a lot of embarrassment could have been saved by just being a bit more aware and focussed. It does seem to happen quite often, including when her body guard resigned after the New Zealand tour, allegedly because Meghan was not following the briefing she had received. Therefore it does make me think she might get the instructions but not follow them because she doesn’t find it important.

tattychicken · 25/05/2020 21:43

I'm not a fan either, but in a lot of the clips I've seen she looks unsure and anxious. Yes she's acting a lot, but maybe that's her default setting, and her coping mechanism for public appearances. Harry doesn't seem to have coached her re where to stand/what order to follow. I don't believe those slow-mo clips, anyone's face goes through a myriad of expressions that could mean anything in isolation.

7Worfs · 25/05/2020 21:49

Again comes down to ease in to a FT working Royal and using all the available help and advice.

Or bustle in, all bravado and grandiose plans to save the world, ‘hit the ground running’, modernise the monarchy; an omni-talented mega-humanitarian who knows better than any and all advisors, including PR and lawyers.

IneverHadTheLatin · 25/05/2020 22:26

Looks likes it's Prince Charles who is paying for their security in the USA.

SunbathingDragon · 25/05/2020 22:43

It’s often said that Harry has millions and indeed he should, considering how much he has inherited and little he has had to spend on things in his life. Is it all tied up in trusts or investments? Although I suppose as far as Frogmore goes, they aren’t paying any interest so no incentive to settle it in full now.

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 25/05/2020 22:45

I thought he had a lot from Diana's estate too @SunbathingDragon , so why do they need Prince Charles to pay for them?

GlorianaCervixia · 25/05/2020 23:02

I agree that she often looks anxious and uncertain. There are multiple videos of her standing in the wrong place or walking ahead of the wrong person. Plus the video on the balcony where Harry tells her to turn around and she looks chastened. I think a lot of her hair adjusting and coat flicking are anxiety more than anything else.

I don’t think they get coached in anything. Diana and Fergie both had to figure it out for themselves and they had the advantage of understanding the protocol and being from the same culture. Kate is the only one I can think of who had a slow introduction to public life to give her time to adjust.

ArchePenguin · 25/05/2020 23:36

Are they on the move again? www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/meghan-markle-prince-harry-leave-22080602

MasterBruceBalloon · 26/05/2020 00:45

Surely they can't move...again. but then I don't really understand how they are living in a house they don't own. Can't they just buy one? Why wasn't one lined up before they left Canada? Even as a back up option when they were trying to get their security paid for in Canada.

MissEliza · 26/05/2020 01:47

I couldn't live in a house I neither owned nor paid rent for. Years ago, we borrowed my df's friend's villa in Spain and I felt really uncomfortable. They can't feel at home in that mansion but I guess it takes a while to find the right home.

TimeLady · 26/05/2020 07:26

Is this NY rumour related to the story that Harry is back in touch with Tom Inskip, who now lives there? I find it very hard to believe they are considering such a move. I've only spent four days there and couldn't wait to get away.

It felt like the least private place I'd ever been to - there are windows (and people) everywhere

TangibleTuTu · 26/05/2020 07:50

A profile in a NY mag from Feb
www.google.com/amp/s/nymag.com/intelligencer/amp/2020/02/meghan-markle-royal-family.html
Discussing how she might position herself as an influencer/philanthropist/self-promoter. Although COVID has disrupted everything, she has some serious balls/ovaries to see the Royal Family as a "stepping stone" to greater things.

7Worfs · 26/05/2020 07:58

In different cultures one might call that a ruthless opportunist, or even a user.

Luckily for the UK, the US and MM appear to be a match made in heaven. 👌

Winterlife · 26/05/2020 08:01

Is this NY rumour related to the story that Harry is back in touch with Tom Inskip, who now lives there?

I believe he lives in Washington DC, which is about an hour by plane from NYC (assuming one flies private), or a four hour train ride.

I doubt rather highly that HaM have any intention of moving to NYC.
