Is there another couple like the Sussexes Part 2

[veraswaistcoat]

With this new authentic Insta post where Meghan positions herself as a go between in securing some signed merchandise I think there's still plenty to discuss.
This is a new image. No make up. Carefully edited insta. New lips. Is this influencer territory? Mention of " my husband and l " Echoes of the Queen ?

That’s the trouble with fame and putting yourself out there in the public eye - it’s a double-edged sword capable of both bringing in money and also siren-calling a world of judgement, scrutiny and the vicissitudes of social media.

@FebruaryCrow I agree with you and especially when you are essentially famous for being famous

I don't hate her. I am fascinated by her consistent underestimation of the public's ability to discern manipulation and bullshit. She seems to have a very shallow and simplistic understanding of what makes people tick. Her email talking about how to 'tug at people's heartstrings ' was really revealing. Her need to be admired is palpable and makes all her actions seem vacuous and inauthentic.
I hope they are happy as no one wants to see DC in the middle of a breakup.

I don't actually hate anyone? I have a team manager who is a complete cunt to all of our team and I can't even find it in my heart to hate her, even though she is messing up my entire life and is treating all of us like shit! Hate isn't part of my physche, even where it's deserved.

Personally I don’t think they are shitty parents for leaving their children at home, it’s never for particularly long as far as I am aware and I sure they have Doria or their nannies, I don’t think they are any different to other celebrity parents, the mega rich more than likely parent very differently to normal folk anyway and probably don’t have to deal with the daily drudge. I think it would be questionable if due to all their terrible public relations they decide now is the right time to bring their children to such a high profile public event as it would smack of using them to get good press, plus as far as we know Archie and Lily live a very sheltered life in quiet Montecito, for them to be suddenly amongst large crowds and banks of photographers would be completely alien to them and very unsettling, the children have no need to be seen at their parents public events, they don’t need to prepare them for any royal role so it would be very odd and hypocritical for them to suddenly be front and centre particularly as we know Harry’s stance on how he felt being in the public eye and media as a child.

Once again, don't get sucked in, my friends. Nobody has to justify why they post on this board, nor should they be forced into countering this ignorant and provocative assessment of their characters. This is how the fights start and how the threads descend into chaos and deletions.

Back to the arm in the photo - isn't it at a weird angle?

The pair of them just provide me endless entertainment, it’s really not that deep 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m also closely following the Blake Lively case and Brigitte Macron conspiracy theories flying around, in the words of Pamela “It’s the drama Mick, I just love it”

When QE died they ended up staying in the U.K. for nearly 3 weeks. They could have had Doria and/ or the Nannies fly over with them but they didn’t.
They were somewhere in Europe for an event and tagged on a holiday in Portugal rather than rush home .
They have had a couple of pretend Royal Tours and various other occasions when they have left their DC at home.
I am not saying they have to be with A and L 24/7 but they do seem to spend a fair bit of time away from them ( and each other ).

Yes ! They are entertaining!! , lurching from one cock up to the next !
Gripping, what will they do next !

I thought it was great! She was publicly thanking the people that helped her out and promoting the fact that, for a lot of young people currently displaced, a bit of thoughtfulness in what we donate is a good thing. But Meghan is never going to be able to get it right for a lot of people and she's realized that that's their problem, not hers.

Is it A's left arm reaching across and his right hand somehow folded under his chin? It is awkward. Also, L doesn't seem to have the long hair she has in the released Xmas photo and looks like a baby, so I wonder if it's an old picture GS has had for a while, rather than a recent Xmas card.

Anyone watched Amandaland? It’s Meghan through and through.

I'm saving it for a box set binge at the weekend. Was it good? I loved Motherland. Lucy Punch is such a good actor, she should be more famous.

It’s ok. Watchable but not as good as Motherland.

But every scene with Amanda- from the desperate social climbing, lifestyle influencer collabs etc, all I see is Meghan.

How funny! Maybe MM needs her own sitcom? That might actually be a goer for Netflix, a comedy where she plays a fictionalised version of herself, hustling, grifting, merching and influencing with simply hilarious consequences!

I’m fascinated by Harry and Ryan Reynolds and their roles in all the strange goings-on. I find them both quite odd.

I misread that 😂

I've just realised that yes Meghan's weird behaviour on this insta is exactly like the awful American sitcoms ( sorry folks ) that you get. Stupid stuff !

I was going to write something similar, but you've just said it so well.

I really hope they don't bring the children to Invictus. I don't think there's a need or that they would be bad parents if they didn't. It's a "job" for H&M and they have no need to being their children to work. Fair enough if it happened organically, but starting now (even if meant with the best of intentions) would smack of trying to get good PR and deflect criticism.

They aren't Senior Working Royals, their children will have no "familial" roles in the future that they need to be seen publicly, so why start now? I have no interest in seeing them, and I actually feel that this is the one thing I do admire them for.

If that's the case then why did she need to go through Adam Levine to get in touch with her? Surely she could have done it though the agency? Maybe they aren't answering her calls lol, or she just wanted to name drop a couple of famous people that she is in contact with. Although all it really showed is that they are better connected than her.

Canada will be very cold. Why bring young children to sit in the freezing cold for hours? Especially since they are only used to southern California weather.

We don't know that they are, surely it's just conjecture?

I thought that too.

I often think it must be a very lonely and desperate existence for both of them. It seems like chasing clouds. Always just out of reach, not really solid . I don’t get the impression either of them have good friends who are just normal people. It’s all chasing celebrity and getting their faces in the media somehow, anyhow. No matter how toe curdling the occasion or circumstance. She doesn’t really know what to say or how to behave . She doesn’t know how to dress appropriately, and he is just hanging about in the background looking sulky, or giving interviews where he comes across as arrogant or bored. It’s all so desperate and grasping, and they don’t appear to me to be at all happy. Neither of them seem to know who they are or what they really want.
