'Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography'.

Posted by Susan T on July 28, 2024, 8:16 am, in reply to "July 28 - This One and His Wife"

There are no photographs of the Duchess of Sussex in the Royal Collection, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

This is despite the vast archives containing more than a million objects spanning five centuries of the monarchy.

Works from the collection are often displayed at royal properties, including the King's Gallery next to Buckingham Palace, which is currently holding an exhibition titled 'Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography'.

But while the display has delighted visitors with previously unseen photos of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, tourists have been surprised to find no images of Meghan Markle or her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The MoS understands this is because the collection – which is cared for by the Royal Collection Trust, a department of the royal household – does not contain any such photographs.

Another ugly outfit

The epitome of elegance? I don't think so.

Couldn't bring myself to read the article, but the outfit is hideous. Linen wrinkles so much, it generally looks sloppy. Certainly in this case!

Another day, another ill-fitting and unflattering beige mess that needs to be hemmed.

Forgot to add my two cents, as usual, my fingers worked too fast. Yes, another blah beige outfit of linen that Meghan seems too forget wrinkles if you just look at it. The usual too long trousers that will be ruined when she returns the outfit to the fashion house after dragging the hems through the dirt and grass and God knows what else. The favorite halter style, letting everyone know she's braless and I'm sure the fabric is also see through.
I wonder if Meghan crashed this "Summit" or more likely WME set it up or strong armed someone to have Meghan attend. The woman who set up the summit brought Meghan with her, on a private jet, of course. The women attending this event have successful businesses, Meghan doesn't even have her ARO set up except for some jars of jam and a couple of dog treats. She doesn't have any staff or a CEO.
The DM seems to always have to remind us of Meghan wearing Diana's Cartier Tank Watch and of the price......who cares?

That outfit is hideous and inappropriate. I suspect she's left the tags on so she can return it, but if I were the store manager, I'd refuse to do it. The trouser hems will both be grass-stained and the top will have grease and sweat.

Meghan works with a stylist, not the designers themselves, so the clothes are on loan and cannot be altered. A designer would make darn sure that the garment was fitted perfectly, whereas the stylist is more of a broker that arranges for the use of an outfit. Meghan isn't getting her pick of what's on the runway, she wears what her stylist can negotiate for her. Lesser and unknown brands that need the exposure. That's why we aren't seeing her in Dior, Givenchy, Chanel or Jennie Packham. They want to keep their doors open to dress Catherine and eventually Charlotte.

The article doesn't come up.

What old life? The wannabe actress hustling from audition to audition? The b-list (or c-list) actress with a minor TV show and dubious "ambassador" placements? The British royal who managed to stick it out for two whole years before throwing in the towel?

Very suspicious.....

******
"While she'd never change what she has with Harry and the kids, there is a big part of her that she wishes she could just get her old life back," they added. "She loved being in Suits and all the opportunities it gave her — she'd get invited to all the exclusive events and get to hang out with Hollywood A-listers, but there was so much less scrutiny and attention and there was no pressure on her."

But the Duchess could be getting ready to go back in front of the camera despite four years of scrutiny following "Megxit."

Another insider close to the Sussex camp said: "She feels the time is right to start looking at offers as she knows she’ll be criticized whatever she does, so she can cope with backlash and wants to do what makes her happy."

Well Cynthia, we're talking about the Duchess of Delusion, she feeds the story to the sympathetic press how utterly successful she was and Suits couldn't do without her after she married Harry and it folded after another 2 seasons. Of course, Suits was rapidly losing viewers after the 2nd or 3rd season. When Patrick J. Adams left, Meghan's character was going to be dropped, but producers were lined up to immediately hire her except for "having" to marry Harry and then "having" to join the Royal Family which went to all lengths to stifle Meghan and her extraordinary talent(s). It's all the Royal Family's fault...again, blah, blah.
All these stories with Harry and Meghan are coming out, yet again, ad nauseum because unlike in all the previous years, Charles did not extend an invitation to come to Balmoral this summer. Harry and Meghan lost their chance to "snub" Charles and the press lost it's annual "will they or won't they" stories.

New Labour Govt. Issues A Statement Regarding Harry's Security Lawsuit

Posted by karenl on July 31, 2024, 1:01 am, in reply to "Re: Another link...."

"A government spokesperson told Newsweek: "The UK government's protective security system is rigorous and proportionate."
""It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals' security.

"It would not be appropriate to comment on ongoing legal proceedings."

The outlet stressed that the Home Office "does not sound minded to shift its stance, instead defending the processes that gave rise to the original policy."
The new Govt. is going to let everything stand as it is.

Umm, the visit to Nigeria was a PR success? In what universe? Also, Francia Marquez has the kind of activist chops TOW wants to have, and they are the same age. Who set this up?Who persuaded Marquez to issue the invitation? Not the First Lady of Nigeria, that's for sure.

I just checked, Colombia, as with Nigeria, is on the travel warning list issued by the US State Dept. I wonder how much Colombia's Govt. will dish out for the security. The Nigerian Govt. has been repeatedly asked for the sum of their costs for the Harkle's farce by Nigerian public groups and their requests have been denied.

The thing is, Harry can threaten all he wants, but the public in the US and UK won't believe his accusations/"bombshells". They've cried wolf over and over again for 6 yrs. and each time the public has come to resent/dislike them even more. All the info in the People article came from Meghan, I'm sure.

Neil Sean: "Screaming In The Hamptons"

The story about Meghan starts at 1:18, Neil always goes off subject for the first few moments. I think no one will be surprised that she tanked in the Hamptons.

The REAL Reason Harry And Meghan Repaid The Taxpayers For The Frogmore Cottage Renovation

Posted by karenl on August 4, 2024, 12:44 am, in reply to "Re: Neil Sean: "Screaming In The Hamptons""

".....In historian Robert Lacey's book Battle of the Brothers, which was published in 2020, it was revealed why refunding the public money was crucial to the couple.

Mr Lacey wrote: 'It was crucial that they should pay off - and should clearly be seen to pay off - the £2.4million that had become a persecutory refrain in almost every story about their base at Windsor.'

He added: 'As they would later explain via sussexroyal.com, the website that they developed during their Vancouver sabbatical, coming off the Sovereign Grant - the royal payroll financed by the British taxpayer - would "remove the tabloids'" justification in having access to their lives.'"

Same old, same old plus another article pushing Harry's "paranoia" with the media. It was all the media's fault that they paid back the renovation costs.
No, there was a huge uproar among the public after the ran away from their Royal responsibilities in the UK and wanted to settle in sunny Cali. The public correctly, wanted the Harkles to pay back the taxpayer funded renovations on the Sussex home that they may or may not have lived in for about six months. Harry and Meghan didn't want to pay back the money and fought tooth and nail to get out of it. The last I read, about a year ago, they had only "paid" the equivalent of around $650,000. This was despite Harry and Meghan stating it was completely paid off. Perhaps by Charles, but certainly not by Harry and Meghan.

"Sunday Morning" Backstage Meltdown

Posted by karenl on August 7, 2024, 9:09 pm, in reply to "The REAL Reason Harry And Meghan Repaid The Taxpayers For The Frogmore Cottage Renovation"

I've only seen clips of this farce and it's the same old BS as always. What's interesting is that Harry can't hide how disinterested he is at participating in the interview. At one point Meghan is retelling (for the thousandth time) her suicidal thoughts when in the Royal Family and she dramatically puts her hand or claw on Harry's knee. He doesn't react at all and instead is looking around the room.
The marriage is in name only and "only legal."

Taz is giving it six months, max. I think we all gave the thing four or five years when TO and TOW got married. My guess is that TOW will allege mental cruelty in a bid for cash sympathy gifts or to dig money out of the King.

The staff at BP gave the marriage 5 yr. as it was reported several months after the wedding. I'm sure the wife will claim physical and mental cruelty in addition to drug/alcohol abuse and then put in child neglect/endangerment. She'll throw whole book's worth of claims at Harry.

Yep, the interview. TOW is in full huggy buggy mode and TO just trails behind her. However, TO dared to interrupt TOW's self-love fest a few times during the interview and it appears TOW's claws have lost their power over him.

Harry interrupted Jane and that was rude, but when he interrupted the wife, he got the death stare.
When Jane asked Meghan about the kids, Meghan gave her now typical rehearsed answer that she always uses. It was incredible Harry just sat there and absolutely no emotion when the children were brought up.....nothing. Parents always light up and at the least, smile when their kids are brought up. Harry...a bored, distant face. That entire interview was just weird and forced.
Nobody watched it, it's early on a Sun. morning and there's a ton of everything else going on in the world right now..starting with the Olympics.
Another failure.

Neal Sean suggested that CBS wanted to air the program in the autumn after people were back from vacation. No, no, no, Meghan wanted it on her birthday. Of course, the Olympics would take center stage. She just doesn't listen to anyone. And, I have to say, Jane Pauly was just a bit to sugary for my taste in this one. Her comment about Meghan putting her hand on Harry's knee nearly brought up my lunch. Jane was played like a fiddle. And now she will me "markled."
