I freely admit I like the Queen very much, so I’m willing to throw her a bone: I do not think she knew how bad it was for H&M. When Harry said in the interview she invited him to Norfolk, but that offer was rescinded by her secretary - this is the secretary that Charles hired after he got rid of the one whose primary…

Adding to the fairytale mysticism mentioned in this article, it chilled me when Harry said that he was living off the inheritance his mother left him, that without it his and Meghan’s move would not have been possible. He then said, “She knew.”

This isn’t exactly a reply to this excellent article—I’m sorry! And also, I love your reporting on the Royals. Equal parts deep fandom and deep distrust (like me!)

I’m so sick of hearing people say Megan is a narcissist.

She is several things.

1. A grown woman.
39 years old. Even 19 year old Diana chafed against the…

One more because Twitter is expressing it better than I ever could.....

re: Meghan as a bully, I suspect (and other commenters have remarked) that it’s possible (likely?) Meghan was just being a black woman who wasn’t afraid to be frank about what she wanted, what she didn’t want, and who was/was not meeting expectations.

It definitely feels like if you’re going to build a dynastic family business on “public service” then the family needs to actually engage in... public service. It doesn’t even have to be military — become teachers, become doctors, become social workers, work in international development, etc. The royal family is trash…

Add to that the fact the Queen ignored the fact Diana died for a week until Tony Blair basically told her, “Get you ass down to London before the crowd comes up there and drags you out by your hair”.

Anyone or anything that would agree to be around Moscow Mitch for any length of time, let alone pledge themselves to him in matrimony, is at least a 5th ring of hell demon.

Meghan’s bullying was probably disagreeing with the people that thought they knew better than her and her setting clear boundaries. 

Counterpoint: if it was a warm day, no tights is vastly more comfortable than wearing tights. It’s ridiculous to force a small child to be uncomfortable because of “tradition.” That has nothing to do with Hollywood or Instagram.

And this ridiculousness is why the monarchy isn't long for this world. Who gives a shit about flower girls wearing tights? 

I can’t quite get my head around the business of tights. First, tights in North American lingo mean heavy leg covering - such as one wears in winter. I thought that tights in Britain was the word used to describe stockings (pantyhose) So I believe that the protocol in England is that adults attending official events…

Wouldn’t surprise me but it would be a dumb thing to do given the level of knowledge required to know such intimate details about what happened with HR limits the pool of people very severely. Many of the people involved have gone onto very nice jobs they wouldn’t want to risk so it’s either someone with a real axe to…

Oh, so THAT’S why her hair is so voluminous: it’s full of secrets AND it’s a wig!

I like that this is all happening when The Crown just reminded us how awful Charles and the firm were to Diana. Definitely makes it easier to root for Harry and Meghan.

Both people have equal legal right to the embryos. However, before you can begin any IVF treatment you must sign several consents indicating how you agree any unused embryos will be handled (destroyed, donated to science, granted to one member of the couple, granted to a known third party, or anonymous embryo…

I’m guessing there isn’t much to report. She doesn’t appear to have job. No fashion business, no advising the president, no consulting to the family company. Maybe no friends except the family circle. 

Agreed. She’s probably doing some hardcore “consulting”/begging from rich assholes to refill her coffers for a presidential run and doesn’t want shots of that everywhere.

When the grift runs low you, probably have to fire the person you pay to manage your social media and help you look more like a real girl instead of a robot.
