Confessions of a Female Flounder part 2

[foreverblowingbubbless]

I've embarrassed for Meghan saying that her arranging takeaway food on a plate is the same thing as what Figs Heather Hasson has done 😬

I agree. I don't like Meghan (or Harry!) but I like to limit my criticism to verifiable facts and their clearly-evidenced behaviour.

It's not worth dignifying with attention, but just for one thing - Meghan was very obviously post-partum in that photo with baby Archie and the late Queen.

Yes - I've come to the conclusion that Meghan is a very weird person indeed. That coat-flipping - OK, we've seen the bump. And the continual adjusting of her 'concealed' mic at the Platinum Jubliee service. It's as if she wanted everyone to know what she was playing at. So many behaviours which are utterly baffling in their blatancy and shamelessness.

She is constantly playing a part and doing it very badly, but what I resent most is that she clearly thinks we're all stupid. (Well - she definitely thought we were stupid in wanting to watch her wedding, didn't she?)

I doubt Harry has very much sense of quid pro quo in any of his relationships, personal or business.

Funny as it would be if there were fake bumps etc etc, I think it’s obvious that there is nothing more sinister than simple attention seeking. Agree that all the drama surrounding Archie’s birth was to enable US news (who would be paying handsomely) to get first dibs on the baby pics.

What I don’t understand, though, is the sudden slew of scan/pregnancy etc photos for their anniversary. Why? Who cares, for a start, and why show such private pictures? The bare bump photo looked candid - I would be very upset if dh (or whoever if not Harry in this case) was taking surreptitious photos of me, let alone pregnancy whale ones.

@CoffeeCantata why was she wearing a concealed mic?

And did that service come after Mexit? Was it before or after the service when she wore the green dress and was it the one where they almost fell over chairs to be where they wanted to be in the procession?

I’ve hardly known what year it is since Covid. I can’t even recall family events and if they happened
before or after Covid.

I thought the coat flipping and leaving buttons undone was bizarre at Eugenie's wedding as she would only have been about 8 weeks pregnant. She definitely wanted to start speculation and grab the headlines.

Seems to be her MO - whenever there is media exposure, interest, announcement of/by someone else - she seems to launch herself on to it.

@Weepixie I'm not @CoffeeCantata , but can answer that:

The green outfit I think was their last royal engagement before they left - Commonwealth service of 2020.

The hidden mic incident was in 2022 at the 70th Jubilee, when she was wearing the Wallis Simpson lookalike white, Dior outfit with the big collar. There was a visible lump under the collar and she fiddled with the collar a lot, leading to speculation she wore a microphone.

Harry was also spotted with what looked like a microphone under his lapel at QEII's funeral. There was talk of the "fab 4" walkabout happening to stop H&M going around the crowds with a Netflix crew.

H&M were also wearing microphones when they were doing a visit to a school in NY (where the parents were all asked to sign NDAs and image release forms). But they had their Netflix crew in tow that time.

I guess if they are constantly documenting their every move; and their much vaunted "receipts" makes me think this practice of mic wearing may have gone on when they were still in the RF.

Sorry - been out!

Thanks, Randy - that's right - it was when she wore the white coat-dress (I think by Dior??) with the very pronounced collar. She is fiddling with the damn thing the whole time she's on camera - just what was she thinking? Even when she's being greeted by the clergy at the door.

In addition to matter of the His-n-Hers concealed mics, apparently Meghan had commissioned Dior to copy an outfit worn by Wallis Simpson. So...if clothing is communication, then what message was she sending by choosing to imitate a Nazi-sympathising adventuress who nearly toppled the British monarchy?

I bet it didn't come cheap, either! Meghan was being either very stupid (not knowing the context and history) or very snide indeed - and neither is a good look!

Should add that I'm sure the concealed mic business is one of the main reasons that KC won't see Harry. Harry wouldn't take kindly to being frisked. I suspect Harry has decreed that he will only see KC alone (without Camilla) and KC has probably countered by insisting on lawyers or courtiers being present - on advice.

Whatever Harry says about wanting a meeting or a reconciliation, this is a huge stumbling block. No-one can ever trust him again, inside or outside the RF.

It's all about her getting attention. We understand it better now. She's a narcissist.

I suspect the recording device issue also explains why he opts for hotels over palaces. If he stayed in the latter, he'd be searched and have to surrender his mobile phone.

I know. Only doing up the top buttons! So obvious. Yet the following week she was in a form fitting white dress with no sign of a bump. 🙄

While I do think Meghan gave birth, I do also think she wore a moonbump, particularly at the beginning.
Apparently it’s common in certain circles as it gives the nice baby bump look, rather than the has she just put on a bit of weight look.

Anyway, the only reason I say that is because of the pics of her in the purple and red outfit, where it seemed to have dropped to her knees.

And then she buttoned/tied up the cardi, whereas other times she had the coat flicking going on.

I think it’s clear from their first appearance with Archie that she had actually been pregnant, you can see it in her face.

I remember getting a right kicking on here for saying l quite like seeing new royal babies and it would be good manners for them to do a pic with Archie, not necessarily on the hospital steps but a nice family photo. I wonder if any of those posters feel they were taken for a bit of a ride? Privacy for the children indeed.

M has to be the centre of attention. She can’t let anyone else have the limelight, ever. Not even the late Queen. Not even, I strongly suspect, her own children.

What I disliked was the announcement beforehand, that there would be no pictures on the steps of the hospital, they were going to bond as a family in private. Then 3 days later - they appear in Windsor Castle with the baby. So it wasn't about privacy at all. It was because Windsor Castle was a more effective backdrop than the steps of a hospital..

Why are you going over stuff that happened 4 or 5 years ago. Is there nothing new you can criticise them about?

There’s always something new to discuss. They’re the gift that keeps on giving.

Yes, plenty, where do you want to start?

Oh my goodness, aren’t they just!

I agree, constantly rehashing these rumours is very tedious 🥱🥱🥱

I was thinking about the mood board and the hilarious "Happy Anniversary" to herself! 😄

And yet you can’t keep away.

Plus, they love it.
I suspect that not being discussed would be a problem for Harry and Meghan 😉
