'Holiday Hypocrite'

Posted by Susan T on December 8, 2025, 10:43 am, in reply to "December 8 - those two"

Meghan is featured in a rogues' gallery of 'holiday hypocrites' as part of a scathing Christmas window display at high-end department store Kitson.

The trendy shop in Robertson Blvd, located between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, has named Meghan as one of 2025's villains along with California Governor Gavin Newsom, George Clooney and Katy Perry.

Kitson's so-called 'Holiday hypocrisy window display' has become famous in Los Angeles since in began in 2020.

This year Meghan makes the list and she is featured in a mocked-up magazine cover where she and other public figures are made to look silly in Santa hats.

The Duchess' hat has 'Montecito diva' on it.

Ridiculed Again!

HG has something to say about her appearance. This isn't the first time Meghan made Kitsin's display. She and Harry were 2023 nominees too.

Finally an award she deserves.

Harry's Security In UK Under Review

Posted by karenl on December 8, 2025, 7:19 pm, in reply to "Re: 'Holiday Hypocrite' "

"......It is understood a Home Office review will now look at whether he should automatically receive full police protection on visits to the UK even though he is no longer a working member of the royal family.

Sources close to the prince say this level of security review is long overdue. "

The tabloids are gushing about how this is such a victory for Harry and even the BBC is pulling out the "the King has only met with his grandchildren once...or whatever". Hopefully, the Govt. is going through the review to shore up it's defense of the protocols it follows for the Royals. If they change it in Harry's favor, Starmer's Govt., which is very unpopular (to be fair no Govt. in the West is popular right now) will really sink with the public/taxpayers. Harry wants the IPP status, so we in the States pay for his security. I doubt that will happen here in the States. If it does, I'll be calling Rep. Don Bacon, we're now on first name basis.

Kitson's tells the truth.

Taz has some good insights. Lots of great stuff on Catherine's concert. Lots of interesting stuff on the Markle Farcicles.

I do want to add this: My father and I had our ups and downs, but when I got the call that he was not expected to live through the weekend, I hopped on a plane from Atlanta to Denver. My older brother drove in from SLC and my younger brother came from Massachusetts. That's what you do--you go to see your mom or dad. Dad ended up pulling through that weekend, but we all got time to be together and support our mom and each other. Dad passed away shortly after he and Mom celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Dad's death was a time of sadness, but also a time of healing and forgiveness.

I just don't understand Meghan's mindset. I listen to HG and others, but I just don't get it. How can anyone live the way she does?

Now Meghan States She Sent Her Father A Letter

Posted by karenl on December 10, 2025, 9:32 pm, in reply to "Taz"

"....it was sent by reliable and trusted sources. Her father received her letter." My words kind summing up the explanation by the "spokesperson."
I'm sorry, if she wrote the letter, say Sunday or even Sat., it takes more than two or three days for mail from the US to reach Cebu. Did she give it to one of her rich pals and it was flown by private jet and the pal personally delivered it?
Nonsense. Her father needs to give up the, "I just want to see Meghan one more time." It simply isn't going to happen.

Beat Out By Catherine And A Carrot

Posted by karenl on December 11, 2025, 3:25 am, in reply to "Re: Now Meghan States She Sent Her Father A Letter"

We've seen the clips of both cooking, but side by side comparisons are a hoot. Meghan is just a joke. She's never cooked or baked a day in her life...and the hygiene/food safety....I can't believe Netflix actually filmed and put out this garbage.

Meghan looked like she was murdering that lemon and I wouldn't feed that pasta thingy to any living creature. Now, Catherine did have her hair loose and hanging down, but she kept it away from the food and she knew what she was doing in the kitchens.

Dad in Hospital? Hawk Some Tat!

Posted by Hollie24 on December 11, 2025, 12:38 pm, in reply to "December 8 - those two"

Tudor. Meghan paid for a review and sent tat to The Today Show. No cancellation just because her father is in hospital and in very poor health.

As Cynthia points out, the timing is suspect.

The timing was no coincidence, I'm sure of it. Meghan didn't take the spotlight away from the King, though. The media has published the King's message all day today. Meghan and her Girl Scout cookies haven't made the media at all except for the tabloids.
Meghan and Harry are grasping at anything to try to still prop themselves up.

Oh No! Girl Scouts Markled!

Posted by Hollie24 on December 13, 2025, 4:57 pm, in reply to "December 8 - those two"

Tudor. Catherine is Joint President of the Scouts Association and has a long history of active involvement with the movement. Meghan used other people's money via Archewell to get her name attached to this film and was briefly a Girl Scout. I'll take Catherine.

Meghan 'has no plans to see her father' in hospital in the Philippines

Posted by Martha on December 14, 2025, 2:10 pm, in reply to "December 8 - those two"

( ... )

After failing to get hold of him by email or phone, the 44-year-old Duchess - who has not seen him since she married Prince Harry in 2018 - 'reached out' to her father in the form of a hand-delivered letter.

However she is thought to believe his relationship with the media - understood to be something she addresses in her letter - means they are unlikely ever to reconcile.

( ... )

Finally on Wednesday last week, a letter arrived at his hospital bed.

It was hand-delivered by a lawyer with instructions that the encounter was videoed so the clip could be sent back to the Duchess, the Mail on Sunday revealed yesterday.

After 'fretting' over what it might contain for four hours, Mr Markle finally opened it and read it several times, but did not reveal anything about its contents.

Apparently the US Embassy got involved to confirm his identity and other NDA type documents. Seems like a misuse of public resources to me.

Huge misuse/abuse of public resources. She should be billed for reimbursement to the taxpayers. This entire letter business is a repeat of the letter kerfuffle before the wedding. Meghan was looking for an excuse to drop her father for good. This "letter" and it's blaming her father plus the media just makes Meghan look like the ***** she really is.
This will blow back on her and when her father passes, this will be brought up against Meghan and Harry in the court of public opinion. I should say whenever Tom Sr. passes, I hope it's not soon, but one never knows.

They had to go one better with the Christmas Message

Posted by Karen on December 19, 2025, 11:58 am, in reply to "December 8 - those two"

The Duchess of Sussex has shared a family photo taken with the Duke of Sussex and their two children alongside a Christmas message.

OMG, that card is...no. No. NO. She's wearing a see-through dress. For a Christmas card. And that's deliberate, too, because that could have easily been edited. Instead we're treated to her bum in all its non-glory. No.

Lili's hair isn't combed and the tangles hide her face. Harry and Archie just look weird. It almost looks like they were edited in. It also looks like Archie and Harry are one family and Lili and her mother are another family. The whole thing is just fake and somehow ugly.

I can't see the photo as it's behind a huge "Subscribe" thing, so I'm including a different link.

The see-through skirt is another pseudo-Diana moment.

Yeah, a very tacky pseudo Diana moment. One a Christmas card with her children.....and she's not wearing underwear, either. Highly inappropriate and trashy.
Lily's hair is a mess, not the child's fault, the fault of her mother, Lily has suddenly grown from the last photos and is nearly as tall as Archie. The photo is very staged, you can tell by the look on Archie's face and by Lily's stance with Meghan, she has no emotion/enthusiasm with Meghan. Terrible "card".

I forgot, Lily and Archie have gone back to having brown hair again, from the red hair they both had in photos a couple of months ago.

Dan Wooten: Harry Playing Polo In Colorado With Nacho

Posted by karenl on December 20, 2025, 2:31 am, in reply to "Taz"

Dan talks about Harry with his polo pal and apparently partying hard. He goes on to discuss the Harkle's new "films" and the whole kerfuffle with Tom Sr. His guest is the author of The Royalist on Substack.

Re: Dan Wooten: Harry Playing Polo In Colorado With Nacho

Posted by Hollie24 on December 20, 2025, 3:49 am, in reply to "Dan Wooten: Harry Playing Polo In Colorado With Nacho"

Harry's a dumb*** for playing polo in the snow. He's an amateur who doesn't ride or play regularly and he's not used to playing in cold conditions in high altitude. He's normally a reckless rider and player anyway and the snow increases risks like the ponies and riders slipping and breaking bones.

To me Harry looks like he's both drunk and suffering from some altitude sickness/sensitivity.
