It makes me sad and worried for Lilibet. Both children look awkward in most photos.

Maybe in future 🙁

A narcissistic mother is a mother whose narcissistic traits, such as a constant need for admiration, a lack of empathy, and extreme sensitivity to criticism, lead her to treat her children as extensions of herself and use them to meet her own needs. The 16 signs below show how these traits play out in family life, followed by how they affect children and how to deal with a narcissistic mother as an adult.

Narcissistic mothers often use their children as props, manipulate them, and constantly play the victim. A narcissistic mother is unable to give her children adequate attention and nurturing, as she will prioritize her own desires before her children’s.

Meghan must hate Emma because she doesn't fit in with the narrative of Britain being so racist that a woman with black heritage cannot succeed or thrive.

And Emma has handled the huge personal difficulties she has faced with a lot of grace (unlike HAM)

  • The MIL who refused to attend her wedding
  • having to generate more income at Longleat
  • Suffering a brain bleed during her first pregnancy
  • Having to go to court over the inheritance rights for her second child born via surrogate

HAM would have turned this issues into a 10 part Netflix docusoap 🙄

The odd think about Meghan was that she never publicised her black heritage until she was dating H. I read that it was a surprise to her Suits castmates.

Back in 2015 she did an (expenses paid/freebie holiday) to Malta for Elle magazine where she proclaimed her Maltese heritage and posed in traditional dress like a Scottish Widows advert.

Then after the wedding she was suddenly 43% Nigerian.

It's just whatever is useful to the narrative at the time.

This photo is very odd. My toddlers had these giant footballs. Archie is too old for this. Photo is very obviously staged

The giant football photo was from earlier in the year - before the World Cup but just after William and George had been in the press attending Aston Villa games

It's a but of a "what about me?" from Harry

  • reminding everyone that he likes football toooooo
  • that he has a son tooooooo
  • possibly trying to manifest a VIP World Cup invitation

.... all he ended up with was a boozy podcast with James Corden 😂

AlexandraCarrington · Today 14:03

.....like a Scottish Widows advert.

Scottish Widows wear red now, it seems. The ads keep popping up on these threads. There's even one with a bloke in a red coat.

I didn't realise M was mixed race until I read about H dating a mixed race woman.

There is a part of me which really hopes the children do do normal children things and are taken out by their nanny, and act/look like any normal children, so blend in and do not attract attention.

The Wales children do exactly that, and also are out with their Middleton grandparents, plenty of people have seen them, especially in Norfolk and just leave them alone. There is very discrete security but that is it. I presume they also visit their friends homes and play in team sports. It should be no different for the Sussex children.

I also worry about the dogs being left behind in the US, think they is 2 now - the first couldn't come as it was a breed banned in the UK I believe, but on this visit to the UK, only the Labrador and travelled.

Thanks @jeffgoldblum for the new thread as always!

Edit for clarity

Edited

The Wales family sometimes go out with no security which is why William got agitated by that creepy stalker guy.

Starryfifty · Today 14:08

Even if the hamlets were papped, what's the issue? George and William were papped at AV match but it was quite hazy. I remember Julia Roberts made a plea to the media when her daughter was a child. Please don't pap her. Pap me all you want. That was respected and I'm sure if HAM did similar, it would be respected. Problem is, HAM would be terrified they wouldn't be papped either!

It's sinister. Meghan is towering above Lilibet. Lilibet is kneeling in supplication, a bit skew whiff. All the clothes and shoes are Meghan's. And it's reflected in a mirror, adding to the weirdness.

There are so many places in the UK where anonymity is virtually guaranteed, add in inclement weather and a family in waterproof clothing including hats will look no different to any other. I also think most British people, if worked out who it was, would just walk on by.

MerryAquaKoala · Today 14:14

Yes @jeffgoldblum I keep meaning to say thanks for these threads, I enjoy them and their wtaf moments. Sadly for ham they are a couple ripening in fck wittery at about the same time the world is going to hell in a handcart. And so we have fun on these threads, forgetting the real issues in life, and highlighting their preposterousness which it seems, is never ending,, So thanks ham, for that. and thanks jeff ; )

It had never crossed my mind that M was black. The furore over the 'straight outta Compton' comment was what informed me that she was. When I then said to my DD that identifying as black was very convenient and that she was hardly black at all, my DD said it was her right to identify as black. This was during the period that my DD's Instgram profile included her pronouns. Those have gone now she is 23.

It was also the height of BLM - which she obviously identified as a good bandwagon to jump on and in the months that followed the wedding, Doria attended some events with her but clearly was not meant to speak!

I read that the Suits cast thought she had Italian/Maltese heritage until a black actor was hired to play Robert Zane in her final episode,

That's precisely the point. They want to feel important. They get themselves in a muddle because their need for attention conflicts with their professed desire for privacy.

It's actually shocking and the kind of thing they don't get enough shit for. She's attending an extremely grave event and making it about "Oh what outfit will I wear? Will I look cute? And oh look I'll put my alive daughter on SM while talking to families who have lost their kids due to same.

I know there's much more important things in the world, but they are twisted and tone death people and always normalize this type of behavior.

Another example is H cautioning about ai, while M uses that ai clothing platform to merch clothes worn at the children's hospital or the memorial site. No donations given, nothing acomplished except merching clothes and self aggrandizement.

It would certainly take a very skewed mind to look at that picture and think 'Yep, that's the one to post.'

A narcissistic woman of my acquaintance similarly took advantage of the intensificqtion of the gender identity debate. When I first met her, through work, years ago, I assumed she was single. Then she started referring in 1:1 work contexts to a partner and her female name. Then they confirmed a civil partnership. Then bi-sexuality got talked about more. The acquaintance then started revealing publicly that she had loved both men and women. Then they got married. Someone who knows her far better than me thinks the relationship with the female partner, who is much older than the acquaintance, has never even been sexual.

All very tedious.

Yes , I think that is something the naysayers and critics of these threads overlook or purposely disregard….these threads are entertaining too , the regular posters and new comers here are not only knowledgeable but witty and amusing!
the very ( silly ) gifs and (in) jokes that are complained about is part of the appeal, we seek not only to discuss current events but also to share and distract ourselves from the very real depression of the day to day….in short we are here to have fun and enjoy ourselves.

The psychology is actually quite fascinating with HAM:

We want privacy - in fact we don't
We no longer want to be WRF - in fact we do
We do not want titles for our children - in fact we do
People can just call us HAM - in fact we want to be called by our titles
Meghan I don't really know anything about the RF - yet I posted about them on The Tig and visited royal venues when in London
Climate change is important to us - but we will fly here and there on private jets
Social media is bad - but we continue to use it
AI is bad - but we continue to use it
We read all the online posts about us - but we don't take notice of what they are saying

I could go on!

The photo looks like a still from a horror film.

jeffgoldblum · Today 14:39

I admit I don’t have particularly strong opinions on the pictures but I will say…..while scrolling through my children’s photos…I’m not in any of them…I took the pictures…the children were the focus….🤷‍♀️

I don't understand why the media doesn't call them out on their endless hypocrisy.
