She’s so odd.

Was that midnight the end of the day of their anniversary or the beginning?

I wonder when she will start posting throw backs to her RF days? If they are not letting her ratchet up her royal adjacency branding IRL - then she will have to resort to flash back photos.

Harry doesn’t notice anything! He actually believes that Meghan could sew her own clothes like Maria from the sound of music!! , he wears the same suits and worn shoes from his time as a working royal !

I'm enjoying the thought of Meghan wearing an outfit made from curtains. If as some believe Meghan was all over the content of 'Spare', she would have included something about her Royal wardrobe if there was a message she wanted to get across.

Is she deliberately poking at him for his bald spot?

Who knows with Meghan ! 🤷‍♀️ , I doubt that Harry even crossed her mind when she posted those pictures.

Some people think it was meant to be a sarcastic comment, possibly but i personally think harry doesn’t have the intelligence! 🤷‍♀️

So she posted at midnight and posted this in error at first:

‘As it was uploaded, the first post's caption read: "Either years ago today... [gold-moon emoji].

Instead of Eight years ago today.

I agree, jeff.
She keeps trying to push the notion of Harry being "hot" and "a fox" - I'm sure she doesn't want people to think she married a plain (imo) man for wealth and status.
But the photos are all about her.

It was suggested that someone was up late self soothing and having an epic clap back! 😁

AtIusvue · 19/05/2026 10:51

This time last year, if Meghan had dropped a tonne of unseen photos of the wedding it would have had top billing on the online DM.

As it stands….weirdly….its Earl Spencer’s 4th marriage photos and she’s …wait for it…..26 stories down!!!!

Unfortunate.

Very sad that she has fallen out with all the parents of the page boys and bridesmaids in this photo from her wedding…..and consequently cut off all the DCs - must be confusing and difficult for them to understand that they had this great experience once - and then they were cast aside.

Also she hasn’t put a heart sticker over these DCs faces or asked permission from their parents for this first time seen private photo before posting these children globally in social media - after 24hrs ago banging on about children and social media.

jeffgoldblum · 19/05/2026 09:53

Agreed! , and unfortunately these pictures display the fact that he was “alarmingly “ bald already!
he really shouldn’t have put that nugget in his book about William without getting his barber to show him the back of his head!

He’s always had zero self awareness.

Painful - Earl Spencer’s wedding - another NFI experience.

MyAutumnCrow · 19/05/2026 10:57

I wonder if the reason is hiding in plain sight, and it’s to remind everyone that Elton John played at their (royal, natch) wedding, and to send the message of just how tight they are.

And that means the ANL judgement is due out - and there’s trouble brewing. And Meghan is reminding someone of something for some reason.

Does she want Elton to foot Harry’s bill? Is this a message to EJ or H? Does she want to seem important and connected? Was she in her cups? All or none of the above?

Oh an excellent point @Twisterr! , I totally missed that because I was dazzled by Harry’s dome!

Has she fallen out with the mysterious Benita Litt? MM is supposed to be godmother to her twin girls who were bridesmaids. She looked like she was Doria’s handler on the day - actually sat next to Doria in the chapel (contrary to popular belief, Doria did not sit alone, even if she was the lone family member from the bride’s side). Litt is supposed to be a legal/IP/ brand management expert who has worked with Netflix. There’s no evidence of her helping out her old friend in all her woes over ARO and As Ever.

I do agree that it will be very strange for those kids who were in the bridal party, especially the Mulroney kids, given the high profile of their parents and the public bust up. The eldest son must be, what, around 15 now? Old enough to be wondering about it all, asking questions, and maybe even being teased in school about it, poor lad.

There have been rumours that Jessica M might write a book. If bridges have been burned, and she feels hurt by the way MM dropped her, that could be very interesting.

Well if Elton got them
into the mess with Sherborne’s dragon slaying crusade in the first place, and if he’s the only one with a credible case against ANL while the rest of them lose, then it could be an appeal to him to help them with costs and perhaps to say something publicly to rescue Harry’s credibility.

In Arizona, too. Just down the road.

Mylovelygreendress · 19/05/2026 11:20

Yes but they wouldn’t want to upstage the couple would they ??
No invite to the Phillips wedding either .

Even if Elton retuned candle in the wind a third time, made it about Harry and it hit the charts he still couldn’t rescue Harry’s credibility! 😁

Harry is genuinely repulsive. Inside and out. How does she not have the ick ??

it's odd posting the group photo and Elton as they have all but disappeared now

Well you’re assuming that they met , dated and married in the usual fashion! 🤷‍♀️
