Megan pregnant with third?

Recent photos, she's walking with friends and she's so slim but definitely looks just like my sister did when she was about 6/7months pregnant - she's wearing black but I'm sure I can see a bump that isn't her usual figure!

Might just be the angle but it would explain why she didn't attend the Coronation and why Harry flew back so quickly. I appreciate he had Archie's birthday too but it would be another reason.

Harry did it during the hacking hearings, too. Elton John used the private entrance.

Well duh, of course Harry wanted to be photographed at a hacking hearing they don’t want people talking about. Elton was still photographed using a side entrance ( not private ) and Harry used a side door on other days and was still photographed. None of that is proof either of them do staged photos. Why the hell would they need to, they’re followed anyway.

I’ve seen this a lot and just want to clear up a common misconception—Backgrid is not a pap agency and photos being on Backgrid is not necessarily indicative of a celeb/their team calling the paps on themselves. The individual paps may be involved in staging but not Backgrid themselves. Backgrid is a photo hosting agency - they don’t employ paps. They essentially work as a middle man for paps to host and sell their images to publications/outlets. That’s why Backgrid photos are so common (see Eugenie and Beatrix meeting Piers Morgan pictures for an example) —paps are essentially freelancers and use the site to sell their photos, the photos are hosted on Backgrid so they link to the site and often have their watermark. But Backgrid has nothing to do with how the photos were taken or setting up a staged situation to get pics.

Thanks, I’ve said this repeatedly. People just don’t want to deviate from the lies they’ve been fed.

Really? These are all Backgrid pictures - I don't think that nobody wanted to photograph these people pictured. Once more - Backgrid are not a pap agency - they sell pap pictures.

Everyone knows how Backgrid works. Would you think any different of her if she has set up the photos and paid Backgrid?

‘Everybody knows’ It appears not though.

For the hard of hearing.

Why does it bother you so much that she paid for a pap shoot?

Whaeanui · 09/05/2023 08:54

It bothers me when people decide things are facts based purely on their opinion or gossip. It’s simply not true a photo having Backgrid on it means the celebrity is in on it. Why do you need it to be true so badly?

You really shouldn't say for the 'hard of hearing' as if that equals being thick.

Sudeko · 09/05/2023 08:56

Also, why has it become an issue now? They have used Backgrid on several previous occasions.

Whaeanui · 09/05/2023 09:01

They have used Backgrid

still not accurate is it. Backgrid buy the rights to photos someone else has taken. That’s why they sued Lisa Rinna, she used photos of herself they had paid a pap for. She tried to use her relationship with the paps as a defence, but they are independent and Backgrid buy the rights to use them. They don’t just buy photos which have been arranged with paps, they buy what sells.

The suggestion Meghan would not be photographed if she didn’t organise it is clearly ludicrous.

Sudeko · 09/05/2023 09:15

Well, since she sues at every opportunity, I expect her to sue Backgrid (just as she took legal action against the photographer in Vancouver). If she does not, then it can be understood that she called the paps because she wanted the publicity, as is the case for 90% of Backgrid's photos, many of which are for A-C listers who generate a lot more interest than she does.

Sudeko · 09/05/2023 09:17

Do you understand how agency works in the service industry or are you deliberately mishearing?

Ellaelle · 09/05/2023 09:18

How embarrassing that even throughout the coronation princess Meghan was still stealing the show, I was shocked that the day after the corry concert she was front and centre in the dm in her hiking gear! It is no wonder princess Kate and consort camille wanted her out of the way, she steals the show without even trying.

Sudeko · 09/05/2023 09:20

It was probably not even a real hike. Just a staged pap shoot. Perhaps Markus Andersen and Heather are fitter and don't need to wear a mountie's outfit to nip out to the shops. Or maybe they will all ride up the hill on She-Ra's back so she's the only one who needs to dress up.

derxa · 09/05/2023 09:27

The suggestion Meghan would not be photographed if she didn’t organise it is clearly ludicrous. Where are all the other independent pap shots then? Does she never leave the house?

polkadotdalmation · 09/05/2023 09:27

Of course it was staged. The Netflix program showed they got very little in the way of genuine 'paps'. Remember the invisible scooter pap? This is another staged photo from Backgrid, their paid agency.

I don't even know why I have invested time in arguing this one. It is just so damned obvious 😂😂

Whaeanui · 09/05/2023 09:35

It’s obvious if you’re determined to see her in a certain light. Prove that Backgrid only use photos provided by staged opportunities with the celebrities themselves then if it’s so well known. Show the evidence.

Whaeanui · 09/05/2023 09:35

Just because you say it’s true doesn’t mean it is.

polkadotdalmation · 09/05/2023 09:52

Just because you say it isn't true, doesn't make it fact either.

Whaeanui · 09/05/2023 09:57

If you’re the ones asserting something is true, the onus is on you to prove it, not on others to disprove. If you can’t prove it, it is just gossip and opinion.

polkadotdalmation · 09/05/2023 10:19

Bottom right...Backgrid. Proof.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 09/05/2023 10:21

Proof that Backgrid bought the photos from the pap. It's already been confirmed that Backgrid doesn't commission photos by links to Backgrid itself hasn't it? Not that facts matter.
