Harry and Meghan #38 Mired in debt - playing Russian Roulette?

[Campagne]

Yes, I agree, I think there were definitely some articles where you can suspect class and cultural differences and just plain ill will and bullying and this is one of them. The problem here I think is that a makeup artist posting a photo of the oh so trendy avocado toasts while gushing about his newly royal host just does not sit well in a royal context. It's influencer fare and many people would go even then. But I think this is where the issue of cultural difference and also class may come in. Let's say someone has been even slightly socially mobile, not necessarily in any negative sense, and sees things like avocado on toast as markers of their ascent, should then people with a different background, who have never had to make that journey shoot them down and make fun of them? I think her lashing out at Kate may come from this kind of a very hurt place, Kate knows what not to do and the list may seem endlessly long from the perspective of someone who does not. You would not want just anyone to tell you and a friendly sister in law may very well feel like the right person.

Just playing the devil's advocate...

Kate got it just as bad in terms of arriviste snobbery.
Tne whole “doors to manual” thing and “wisteria sisters” about her & pippa

This looks like an innocuous story about Prince Charles and organic Farming; but he is very specifically being referred to as the “Future King” which i have never seen before.
Also in the Arthur Edwards article upthread, he said he wished to photograph Charles at his coronation.
Also re: “we need you Harry”; there is no way that Arthur Edwards would have spoken without the tacit approval of the RF. It is significant that Charles and Camilla wished Arthur Happy 80th birthday on Twitter. Even Rebecca English of the DM retweeted it was a “rare” honour.

So here’s what I think is Happening:

I basically think everything is being lined up so that next year, when the Queen is 95, and Prince Phillip is 100; she will abdicate.
Its always been said that she will never abdicate, but there’s been enough of her colleagues and even the previous Pope; who have retired; HM the Queen Emeritus, or something like that.

That news would be huge, but I think they want the Harkle debacle tidied up,hence her being bought a house and paving the way for Harry to come back to the UK to save face and be “helping his family”.
“Forgive us Meghan” are just words, and effectively meaningless and may possibly soothe her ego, but leave the RF above criticism, especially as they were uttered by Arthur, who is “taking one for the team” as an esteemed member of the British Press.

I think there will be a divorce announcement next year. I also wonder if the legal case will be dropped. It will look bad on Meghan anyway, but there are probably secrets the RF want buried.
Perhaps the DM will be offered “Harry,My true Story” as an abused husband and Stockholm syndrome victim with a friendly journo like Richard Kay.

I think an abdication is also political, it will distract from the upcoming shitshow that is Brexit. What better than a new King to boost the British Brand.
Corona may also stop an expensive coronation.
Although Charles May well hold out for that.

Meghan will get a big payoff; completely undeserved, but she is a nuisance to be got rid off. And 2 royal,wives meeting their end in car crashes would be rather unfortunate.

I wonder if Meghan will be given a lesser title on divorce; I think there is of course The Countess of Dumbarton “oh how we laughed”

or Baroness Kikeel; there’s is a precedent with Camilla having a subsidiary title

Harry needs a decent wife, who will be a proper Duchess of Sussex, and support the RF. Not sure about the Archie title situation.
i wonder if any future children of Harry will just be Lord or Lady, like the Wessex children.

The question is what are they up to !!! Also to why would Giles Corden Twit a statement like that! Regarding the affair!!Now he would be a guy in the know!! As he mixes with that set!! What would he have to gain by blabbing!! Unless someone put him up to it?

Bollocks!!! She never would listen or learn, hence her cunty flounciness

This doesn't surprise me at all. There's something quite sinister about some of the sugars on Twitter and I would like to know who is behind them poking the fires. Of course some are just deluded young fans but there's a feeling I get that many are stirring the pot as they want to destabilise the monarchy. It's not just the Meghan worship, it's all the anti monarchy stuff accusing them of racism, possible child trafficking and pedophilia without any proof. There are some that have also wished them dead

I don't believe that Meghan is any sort of plant or involved in a conspiracy. She's just a narcissic grifter who wants money, attention and adoration.

There's definitely some people who have latched on to her for ulterior motives of their own.

Payback!!! For the costly scratch of your minge?(constantly thirsty) and countless coin chucked at you, we will push our agenda. Silly twunt, now they're in over their heads. Remember Salisbury, don't duck with russkies

No, you make a good point. But by the same token smeggy shouldn't refer to the Cambridge kids as feral just because Kate lets them go barefoot on grass occasionally, or comment on how the royal houses allow dogs the run of the home so the houses tend to reek of dog, or that our ancient buildings need air fresheners. If people want allowances made for their habits or ways then it's a two way street. Smeggy doesn't do two way street, it's her way or duck off with your silly decades/centuries old ways.
Kate was fine with her in the early days, especially considering the rumours around her past which for sure Wills had been made aware of. Not effusive, but smiley enough and OK. But if someone refuses your advice re dress code at wimbledon, when hats are to be worn or that tights are the norm then you get the message that the witch is on a mission so you leave her be to dig her own grave. Well I would, in fact I'd hand her a spade, but I'm a bleep like that I suppose.
She couldn't even grasp the reason for the tights rule and happily appeared with bruises (and probably carpet burns

) at events where she was pictured seated with other royals. Legs are like cars, they get dings and bruises and tit happens , so tights tidy things up for the photographs. It's that simple, but no, smeggy has to let everyone know what she was up to last night and that she sucks like a dyson.
And don't get me started on her dodgy bras or her going braless. Not a good look in photographs. duck sake woman, get measured properly and hoik the fuckers up rather than let them drift south as titties often do after breast enlargement has been reversed.

Oh no, Les Dawson wore it better! (Clacks dentures and hoicks!!!!)

Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand.

it’s a short read; the writer is an English teacher.

It is as if Meghan sees her entire life as a competition against everyone, where she just has to be the best at everything (author’s BIB)

There are times it is rather reflective of a megalomaniac or even a comedic figure
————————-

So it’s perfectly ok for Harry to call Angela Kelly “this woman“
But William got the full wrath for calling Meghan “this girl”

Hypocrite much Haznoballs?

Loads of comments on that article say Charles is giving up Highgrove as Hapless and Meagain are bleeding him dry.

Loads of comments on that article say Charles is giving up Highgrove as Hapless and Meagain are bleeding him dry.

A few comments.
I don’t think Charles will ever give up HighGrove; apparently it belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall. (I thought it was privately owned by Charles). So it will be inherited by the further Duke of Cornwall, who is William.

Anyway Camilla has her own home in Gloucestershire so Charles will want to keep one nearby.
The Cambridges are very happy at Anmer, so I suspect Charles will keep HighGrove till he dies, then it may go to George or Charlotte to use.

 

[Scotch Mist]

Has anyone else wondered why we haven't seen any pictures of the Harkles as a family since leaving the UK? I'm actually really suspicious that Archiedoll doesn't live with them.

There have been so many photo ops but since leaving the BRF but all we've had is a never ending onslaught of bloody preaching videos from Meg and hostage videos from JCMH along with a couple of staged paps outside (never with Archie).

So many missed opportunities:
- a family photo outside the new house
- A picture of Archie’s first trip to the beach
- A family photo of any kind
- A picture of Archie with PH’s dog
- A picture of Archie with PH since leaving the BRF.
- Any recent pictures of MM with PH
All of these pictures would be snapped up by the media and would be positive PR.

So this makes me think that either the kid has something wrong with him or more likely they are not all living together. I simply don't believe that new parents wouldn't have tons of pictures and wouldn't want to share the odd one with their fans.

 

[Pippa M]

Loads of comments on that article say Charles is giving up Highgrove as Hapless and Meagain are bleeding him dry.

If Charles has to go so far as to give up or sell any of his properties or those of the Duchy to help Harry,then he is more stupid than I could ever imagine.

Why should she? It would be very, very stupid for her to do so.

Not posting anything with Archie, all three of them or either one of them with him, goes along with her claim for wanting to give him a "normal" childhood. It makes her look good, while she waits until she is divorced.

She won't have his pictures released until she can cash in on them. Which will be after the divorce. Remember how Angelina Jolie made $14 million by selling baby pictures. Now try to imagine how much People will pay for Archie.

I think shes hanging on till the end. Her sense of duty is too strong to abdicate. I do however think she is not long for this world once Phillip dies.

I think an abdication is also political, it will distract from the upcoming shitshow that is Brexit. What better than a new King to boost the British Brand.
Corona may also stop an expensive coronation.
Although Charles May well hold out for that.

Sorry, there is no way she would allow that. It would make a complete mockery of her reign as sovereign. Boris may be a clown but I don’t think even he’s stupid enough to try that on with HMQ.

Exactly , the photos would generate income, what price would they be sold to the highest bidder for? So why are they not available? She is crazy for attention , Something stinks...

 

[HereWeGoAgain101]

HAH , same as me then . I have (I think) about 15 followers. I only know 5 of them properly from an old forum I used to be on years ago. We just happy birthday and merry christmas each other unless someone has outstanding news to share, which is rare to be honest. The other 10 are just weirdos who messaged me asking to follow me and I let them cos they see duck all about my life on there other than occasional funny viseos of pets doing pet stuff and my birth date. Actually I must bin those 10. Some day when I can be arsed.

I have to admit, I only go on twitter to piss people off with controversial statements, mainly aimed at the “woke”. They are so easily triggered, especially the Sussex Squad, followers of Greta, influencers and BLM and ANTIFA arseholes. Yeah, I know, I’m a bleep!

Can anyone give me a quick lowdown on where our money comes into paying the cunts please?

Okay, this is what I understand. All their ‘private’ monies come off the back of my the people. Centuries ago their land wealth was the same as the land wealth of the U.K. they have given land to people as reward for favours/services. in 1337 Edward III carved out 2 Duchys to fund the monarch and the heir. This comprises of land including seashore and seabed’s. If you die without a will in one of the duchies and don’t have known heirs then the Monarch or heir will get your estate, not the Treasury. They keep other huge estates carved out from the land for their castles/houses. Good tax free over some of their monies. So the U.K. people indirectly fund their private wealth in that way (otherwise all the above would be owned by the state/private citizens).

Now they invested the profits of these so also get monies via that. None of the above has been gained via merit, but all by birth/marriage. Some do work hard for it but the entire basis is fundamentally unfair/via U.K. land.

Hope that explains and happy to be corrected/informed if I have misunderstood or gotten anything wrong.

Sorry but I don't agree. Remember on Archies birthday they released that dreadful video where he was wearing a sodden nappy and a vest rather than a nice outfit as you would expect.
That's the only time Archie has been seen and it was unnecessary.
Most people would have been happy with a tasteful photo of Harry and Archie (or the three of them together).
The birthday video was more about promoting her.

Other than that nothing and people want to see Harry with his son. I'm not convinced that the price will go up although some tasteful photos would go a long way to making them more likeable as good PR.

There has been a persistent rumour that TQ will step back at 95, so April next year, with Charles appointed as Prince Regent. All that was before COVID which has really limited what she can do, and makes the 'Plan 95' even more likely. The Regency Act covers the possibility of a Regency if ‘the Sovereign is for some definite cause not available for the performance of those functions’. You'd have to think COVID fits that description.

Queen 'to retire in 18 months' for Charles to become Prince Regent

Sources claim Prince Charles is preparing to take over leadership of the Royals when the Queen turns 95.

[antinoos]

The "ownership" of land is a very tricky and controversial subject. All of it has been essentially seized at some point by the biggest local bastard, or a victor in battle, or a coloniser. Endless churning of ownership can lead to ruhtless exploitation, and very bad management. The first things most of the former Communist Socities of eastern europe did after freedom was to establish systems for private land ownership.

The system here is that going back to the Norman Conquest the Monarchy owned all the land and allowed at its pleasure members of its Gang from time to time, "interests" of various permanence, in quite large bits of it and fancy titles in exchange for goods and services. It wasnt until very much later with the notion that ordinary folk could have transferable interests in land in "fee simple" that modern property Owning took off being finally codified as late as 1925. Theoretically its all still Sovereign Territory as you can discover in times of national crisis.

The Crown and other artistocratic estates still own and control vast amounts of the most valuable real estate and there are all sorts of legal anomalies such as the risk that intestate Land in Cornwall could end up in the possession of Charles. On the whole its the same old - which robber Barons do you prefer? Descendants of Duke William or anonymous invisible unaccountable tax dodging "Hedge Funds" and digital billionairres.

All that "Native Land Acknowledgment" in the USA is historically illiterate. Wonderful as the Plains Indians were they themselves displaced former occupants and fought incesaantly for hegemony and the Aztecs weren't exactly Social Justice Warriors. Its a bit of a racist trope that before Westerners came along the orginal inhabitants were "noble savages" and the like and we ought to give it all back or something.

I actually think the Royal Estates are a very sensible way of funding a ceremonial Monarchy, at least they have to earn it at some level, but of course it gives the titular head access to astounding sums and economic power; that if abused (by say standing behind the 6th in line to the Throne buying his very unpopular wife a lifetsyle to which neither of them have any right or entitlement) will be disastrous for the Crown because its fundamentally unfair and archaic.
