So is this 'no public engagements, no cameras, no choreographed arrivals" supposed to be a punishment for the British public, press, charities, Invictus? A lil spiteful revenge for not getting blanket security from HM's government or the red carpet treatment from the Palace? The hilarious aspect of this is that the hurt & punishment will be to Ms. Norma Desmond Jr. herself, who lives for the camera, the mic capturing her ultra words of wisdom for this age (if you don't believe her ask her LOL), the coverage, the attention! It's hilarious, we all know that just below money & fame, her biggest love in life is "coverage" to be sent out to the masses depicting her beauty, her perfection, her sesquipedalian speeches. The joke's on her, we're vastly relieved not to see that apparition of clawing fame. Let the 2 Charleses -- Mountbatten-Windsor & Spencer have it all to themselves. They're more than welcome to soak in her magnificence in utter solitude - we're more than grateful.
Wut?!!! You know she has to save them for merchiing purposes -- she's treating the kids like a brand-new iPhone launch — keeping them strictly embargoed for an exclusive, highly-paid reveal, while the British public collectively yawns & asks, 'Is it over yet? I don't care.'
Yes, the ever changing children not born of her body. To take them out of the US and into the UK requires something like passports.If they are child actors their true identity would be revealed unless the real parents escort them in and out and Mugs does not travel with them.
The sheer lack of strategic foresight is what makes Meghan’s play book look so juvenile. By pulling out of the Invictus Games countdown events in Birmingham, she hasn’t punished the press. She simply left Harry to face the music entirely alone during one of the most bruising weeks of his public life. All the while the institutional machinery of the monarchy just keeps grinding quietly along without them.
"That said, if Diana’s memory becomes part of a photo-op, [Prince William] may indeed be furious."
Haha! That scene in Harry's book in which he recounts leaving Meghan alone at his mother's grave -- to commune with Diana? -- and then returning to find her prone on the slab, or whatever is there, having evidently done so, was one of the most nauseating things I've ever heard.
I didn't read the book, but in those days you'd have to live under a log to avoid that one.
Okay, I am going to put my former investigator fascinator on and so when the reported logic of a situation falls apart under the smallest bit of scrutiny, you have to look at any underlying reasons or needs.
Despite all of the Sussex performative hand-wringing about privacy and safety, its brand requires two vital sources to survive: proximity to the Crown and the active participation of the very media they claim to loathe. Without this connection, they are fading into the background fickle Hollywood celebrity. Yet a royal connection is only visible if people know it exists. Hence the intentional leak—they need the public to know they are on British soil to maintain their royal relevance and the cover of "privacy" to maintain their victimhood status and their tale of woe.
As it relates to any security concerns suddenly disappearing into the ether, it appears that they will possibly accept a high-level security risk over the risk of absolute cultural and royal irrelevance. I love that Robert Jobson points out the hypocrisy of the situation.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend before another “private” update magically appears in the media’s headlines. BTW love the reference of "Schrodinger's Duchess,” it is such an apt moniker.
What do you think is the likelihood that her recently manufactured royal adjancey drive will result in higher sales of her malodorous product line in the US?
It could possibly have some spillover benefits beyond just the loose fruit preserves themselves. A royal visit may raise overall brand awareness, lend a sense of royal aura, and attract new customers. However, while this kind of exposure can open or keep existing doors ajar, any long-term success for this brand still depends on quality, value, and the ability to build lasting customer loyalty…do we really see that happening, I am going to say more than likely that is a, “no.”
People in the US right now are more concerned about staying cool and, apparently, are discovering a new love for European football ;) To increase her brand awareness she would need the Royal seal of approval—like a photo of Charles eating a scone with a strategically placed jar of As ever jam or honey prominently displayed. Can you see that happening? Naaahhh, neither can I ;)
So true, here in SoCal it is el fuego right now. I have a soft spot for football, both my sons played, so we are all watching and I have to say, I really like Erling Haaland, he makes me smile with his antics. And I agree, I cannot see an As ever branding or royal seal of approval in the near future.
There was a video yesterday of the England team diving into the swimming pool. So cute, reminded me that these were men young enough to be my sons and grandsons :) One of them said it was the first time he ever dove into a pool--and he was wearing socks!
Mugs cannot move without clicking cameras, whirring video (yes, antique terms), and a scrum of reporters. She barely exists outside of that which was once called the Worldwide Privacy Tour. Over time, even the public now realizes that both she and Haz are mentally ill and need to be kept away from the family for their safety.Charles Spencer would be well advised if even thinking about extending any courtesies to her.
And how about that Wimbledon, eh? Are you looking forward to the finals this weekend? Oh and doubly thrilling--the England vs Norway World Cup match? I have my scones and pickled herring ready.
I personally wish to never hear about or see Meghan again. She’s obviously using King Charles for any possible relevance, and she apparently has no conscience or shame about her behavior.
Do we really care over the will she won't she...... I have lost any sleep over this BUT the divorce settlement will catch my attention and when the dastardly duo lose there titles and patronages & are removed from the Royal website......
TLOL Noly - you're right, but the British public doesn't give a hoot & won't bite, now if the stupid press elevates the matter cuz they need clickbait, they're giving a false impression. The kids probably didn't memorize their word-salad little speeches & besides MM is supposedly not selling anything this go-round. 😆
She likely believes that a sweet smile might convince Charles to fund the lifestyle she craves but refuses to earn through service. Surely, she thinks, living with Harry justifies a royal allowance from her father-in-law.

I truly wonder if there are really any children to bat about and use as bait.

Thanks Catherine, so right. I particularly liked your comment on the TS YT re Charles’ visit with H & fam.
"That said, if Diana’s memory becomes part of a photo-op, [Prince William] may indeed be furious."

Let her come and fend for herself.

Brilliant, made me laugh!

For all we know, they put out a rumour to say she is coming and to see if anyone bites. BecUse we know this is what they do.
Maybe the issue was always about rounding up the kids”….telling them what they can say. We don’t live in their fantasy world.
TLOL Noly - you're right, but the British public doesn't give a hoot & won't bite, now if the stupid press elevates the matter cuz they need clickbait, they're giving a false impression.
