I have a question for our American friends please. Are there any plans/initiatives in place to vaccinate the homeless/tent cities in LA ? All lives matter not selective bandwagons to jump on for publicity. Any insights from the folk on here no matter where you are in our world?
All lives matter indeed. And, and but, this is so huge that there are no available means, in many countries, to reach all wanted in the briefest time. The homeless vaccination is important as they are a huge risk factor as you can't control their whereabouts which makes it more dangerous in spreading the virus and its variants. The bandwagons shouldn't exist at all and I resent how they tend to distract from what matters most. And I also hate the bandwagons as they are useful for that PR, after the news/pictures/halos are out there even the subject seems to go unreported or unnoticed :(. Bandwagons it's NEVER about the people or cause. That's one of the reasons I resent Meghan and Harry as after the wedding they turned all about themselves making the people and institutions clap them and not the causes or the people needing them - is was all about messy looks, making people forget protocol to prove she's a hug-person, taking center stage whenever there was a conversation and going on in diatribes to prove how superior she was/is... most of the times I would forget to add that institution to my favorites or wanted to learn more about.
I live in a Deep South state; our homeless population has been receiving vaccines since February via emergency shelters and community aid organizations. I do not know how big cities such as Los Angeles are managing their issues, but I send them good thoughts.
Well it appears from the responses that Selena Gomez is bringing up the rear/badly behind on this issue. Same with the Harkles. I won’t mention the other crowd that is off limits per our HM.
Here in Connecticut, the homeless population started getting vaccinated in February. Right now, the positivity rate is 1.3%. Fingers crossed that this low number holds.
With COVID, health advisors believe ‘herd immunity’ will be achieved when 70% of the population (approx 200 million for USA) have been vaccinated. We need to remember even the experts are still evaluating data, learning and adapting.
I live in NC. The nearest large city is Asheville with a homeless population. A group went out recently with the one dose vax for them. I hope the same for other areas.
Good evening from NZ ... I read HM articles on WordPress since October 2018 as the only factual source regarding the gruesome twosome. I never commented as all other have already written what I have thought about this story. I want to say thank you to you HM for all your hard work and for keeping all of us sane through this insane times. It's somehow fascinating to see how this misery unfolded and is still unfolding. I would love to have a crystal ball to see how history will see this in let's say 20 years time and what in the end of the day the consequences will be. I love history and read a lot of history related books. I have seen in your comments that there is an alternate thread where the bookworms exchange their thoughts. I would love to join that thread as I'm interested which books you find worth to read. While I live in NZ I was born and bread in the middle of Europe where Kings/Queens and Kingdoms don't exist since 1918 anymore. All the more I find interesting the unifying role of the RF and I'm deeply sorry for them that they have to deal with those two lunatics. I would have more to say but maybe in a more safer place. As English isn't my first language I apologise to you native speakers for the mistakes I may have made.
MK You haven’t made any mistakes and please be reassured that this is indeed a safe place - as long as we don’t stray from the subject in hand and are pleasant that’s all that matters. Our Harry Markle is very tolerant but will NOT put up with trolls or those who involve themselves in tabloid gossip (its easy to do).
Hi and welcome for posting! Hopefully you will feel confident to post more, we all love to hear what each other are thinking and feeling about this whole sorry mess!
Right on MK.. ...so lovely to have you with us here... and welcome to you as I'm sure will be the case with many others...many are perhaps sleeping (as will I very soon) but will be surely back here on the morrow. Will most certainly look forward to hearing more from you tomorrow.
I know this isn't relevant to this subtrack and they go back 3 years, but I went into categories and clicked on 'Category: Markus Anderson'; two articles- Mar 24, 2018 were interesting, 'Elements of a Crime' and 'Joint Enterprise'. Can I ask what was their reference to?
In my opinion, and after re reading The Markle Debarkle in archives.. I think it was a set up between TW and MA.. ... its times like these when I wish I could write with eloquence like some other posters here.. but there you go.. !..
Geo... I've always 'wondered' (lol) about the relationship between MM and Marcus Anderson... something not quite right here! Perhaps others know more than do I... would welcome some information re this person.. i.e. MA!
Canadian, started as waiter at Soho House is now global membership director, supposedly TW's best friend in Toronto before she wed H. OS said MA set up H's private dates with MM in London SH . Photographed at the 2017 Invictus games, at the wedding and at the baby shower in NYC.
Interesting point in the photos of H with JT at the 2017 Invictus Games, TW to be arrived with MA and the look on H's face is reminiscent of a rabbit trapped in the headlights.
Sorry, meant to add to my original post on the Invictus photos, These were taken in September, 2 months before their engagement and she moved into Notts cottage.
JB Hi you started me off on the quest when you suggested I look at bump pics the other night to see what MA looked like. I started at the very begining of our HM's blog. I had been lurking for a lot longer then I thought and am almost up to where I first started looking and reading. Certainly something is clearly not right with her.I looked at a snippet of video from I think a one world thing tw is wearing purple dress. What puzzles me now is why people around h did nothing surly her behavior was borderline stalking. By 2017 and games photo's at times he looks really frightened, so does JT. For heavens sake I am at a loss as to how easy it would appear to be to get that close to people of position, in this day and age!
Me too, Gap, but H isn't a child, he's been got out of messes of his own making before by his friends and family. Time he had learned to stand on his own two feet and grow up. Between the time He received the invite to Skippy's wedding with her as his +1, and by the wedding day, they'd split up, so she actually gatecrashed the venue in Jamaica, that's when she's photographed kissing H and he's just stood arms at his side with his friend laughing at her. She was thrown out of a polo match she gatecrashed too and found rooting through H's carnot with SW and her husband. Scary woman, no boundaries.
Read a small extract from somewhere yesterday, noting that Selena Gomez had called on The government of NZ to get involved in sending aid to India, the reply from a spokesperson was quite short and simply stated that NZ was already doing their bit. Let’s hope others follow suit and do not allow themselves to be used as promotion for celebrities.
Thank you Harry Markle for your blog and the sanity it brings. Been reading for a while and am compelled to comment on the recent adorable video of Prince William, Catherine Duchess of Cambridge and PG, PC and PL. Beautiful! And may I say Troll Level: Master.
Has anyone noticed that whatever the Harkles engineer in the way of promoting themselves, it always seems to backfire? Let’s look at what has gone on so far.
We have a dynamic, young, attractive (I’m looking at this from their point of view, give me a break) couple who can usher in a new era that will go down in history. The RF is badly in need of overhauling, being full of antiquated, hopelessly unwoke, old fusspots. Who on earth these days thinks royalty shouldn’t weigh into current politics, throw 1000 years of protocol out the window, or go bare-legged for that matter? And who better to do it but our trusty twosome?
Well, that didn’t work out so well, so let’s switch tactics. Don’t appreciate our untapped stardom? Okay, then let’s up stakes and head for greener pastures. Between H’s royal shtick and English accent and TW’s brilliant acting abilities, not to mention dazzling talents as a humanitarian, Hollywood will be beating a path to their door (as soon as they find a suitably posh one). The UN, corporate America and the White House all will be vying to book them for top billing, 6-figure speaking engagements. The money will just flow in. Of course, until that starts happening, they’ll need financial support and total security seeing as their worldwide fame will of course sometimes attract unwanted attention.
Except that didn’t work so well either. Ok, sod them, let’s show them we mean business. We’ll call in our chips with OW, she got to come to our wedding and sit in the Quire—not even H’s relatives on his mother’s side were granted that privilege, so she owes us big time. OW of course never passes up an opportunity for self-promotion, so she borrowed a pal’s back yard and let them rip. Which they did, and we all know how that turned out. A clear effort to threaten, intimidate and basically blackmail H’s own family into reversing all those mean conditions, especially concerning patronages and allowance basically fell flat. And then that uber-meanie PP had to go and get sick and die on them, upstaging the whole thing! Oh, well, perfect excuse for H to bounce over there in person, schmooze his family, who have always adored him, no? Get the gravy train rolling again.
Oops. At this point the Harkles are starting to look like Wile. E. Coyote, whose nefarious plotting always ends up with him literally blowing himself up. The plans to reduce the RF to a laughing stock have resulted in the Harkles themselves being ridiculed. The effort to shame them into appreciating the Harkles’ clear superiority in terms of popularity has simply handed the RF some of its highest ratings ever. I believe the RF have, possibly inadvertently, possibly intentionally (in which case they really know how to play the long game extremely well) delivered a coup without really raising a finger. That old chestnut about not interfering when your enemies are busy shooting themselves in the foot has never been truer.
As did I Susan Marie... as if often said..'give them enough rope' etc.;????? We now wait for the next 'chapter'... all part of 'the plan' methinks? As an actress though TW wouldn't make it in current circumstances?
You have to add the timing of the covid pandemic, that changed the world. No longer corporate meetings and other events with Speakers billed millions of bucks. The Harkles were reduced to gatecrashing Zoom meetings of teenagers.
Great analysis Temple, and it looks as if in some respects TQ’s strategy may be paying off, helped by dear Prince Philip timing his departure to perfection. As I have said elsewhere that was his last great contribution.
Hubbie brought my early morning cuppa, got out of bed, had my shower and dressed, came downstairs, put on the washing machine and sat down to plan my day, thought to myself I wonder if anyone has posted anything interesting overnight on Our Harry's blog. What do I find. The funniest, truest essay on our arch enemies, the Harkles. Made my day. Well done Temple.👏👏👏👏🤣🤣 Love it.
I just heard a comment that makes a lot of sense: that HW wants to be the Queen's nemesis because this would make her the second most famous woman in the world.
just heads up the express is reporting Discovery+Channel in which OW owns stocks is airing a tv show on the 30th “M&H :” recollections may vary” apparently a bunch of “Royal Experts” and body languages are going to dissect the interview i think this is an attempt to put pressure on the RF to give in,i’m not a person who easily h@tes other human beings but this Okra just has me really really close 😠
Don't worry about, it's just their PR to make ppl rise to the bait. H and his wife have not gained any respect and lost all credibility meanwhile. Ow had respect in many ways in the past, but she aligned with the wrong people. I don't know about the body language ppl, but us plain Joe's can read a con when we see one. So the 'paid' body language speakers can spout what they like, but tbh, if anything, anyone who has a little doubt, will be turned to the right side of life after (apart from the dodgy ones, but they are wearing thin, on other forums). Ask me 3 months ago about the tide, I was dubious, ask me now about 'the tide', I simply roll my eyes. There is no tide. Try as they may, even this latest Covid thing, 8 days would have passed since their announcent and the actual thing... 8 days in covid, is like many many lives. Stop with the talk and scheduled events, hand over the money!! Yr all 'loaded' off the back of 'us' aftr all!. Other genuine humanitarians outshine the 'make blvrs' or rather the 'blv US' every step of the way.... Keep speaking up, don't waste yr time on the drivel ♥️
The Queen’s brilliant and subtly acid response “Recollections May Vary” is such an elegant, calm intelligent put down that it rises above all the unruly rabble rousing of the ghastly duo and their sycophantic supporters . Trying to mock it is not only rude but unintelligent and ineffective IMHO. I think it is a saying which will become popular in public usage. So much classier than calling them ,or anyone else, liars.
Mocked, yes. Plenty in the past. I cannot recall any of the mockers selling their bile for personal profit and PR aggrandisement though. But, to be honest, that is not an angle I have ever thought to research. (I mean, who would, until the onset of the stepped back/down/away duo😳) TW sets the barre ever lower.
In light of the very political undertones of the latest bandwagon, just wondering if rules to keep comments apolitical could be relaxed?
The very tragic crisis unfolding in India is still very raw and the world is rushing to provide much needed equipment, supplies and aid. It enrages me, that this tragic collapse in India’s health system is being linked to what surmounts (imo) to little more than diversion from current administrative policy (or agenda) with a supporter studded ‘concert’
After some reflection, I have come to some conclusions. Your comments demonstrate how much you know about this Markle couple and how much MM's PR posts distress you. Today's anniversary celebration of the PW and the DoC is a marker of how the circle has been closed this horrible year by the Cambridges through their public service and the recent GovPoll. The Cambridges have been impressive as they embraced their roles showing the British people that the legendary care and support from the monarchy will prevail. The people have responded in spades. The other couple will continue plotting, manipulating, and lying in attempts to destroy what they consider is meaningless and doesn't matter, the Monarchy, (and its history, traditions, and unifying and comforting social presence). Maybe The Queen knows what she's doing. Let's be hopeful. (I am an older American with an English heritage who believes this Hollywood schemer will not 'topple' the monarchy.)
After a conversation I had on here re MA and what he looked like and disappearing bump, I looked back and found the photos as someone suggested and was both shocked and laughing. I have decided to go back to all HM blogs I missed before I started lurking. Not being a Royal watcher or follower till all this started there were quite a lot of gaps as I did'nt know the events people were referring to.I lurked for a lot longer than I thought so there is not as much as I imagined. Like I am sure many of us on here at various points in my life I have kept a journal, mostly when traveling. Something I made up my mind to do during lock down thats been a bit patchy mostly due to spending time with all my new friends on here.Have to say I never realised what a real Grott Bag tw was, when turning up for events and just never seemed to learn from her mistakes getting heels stuck in mud is a no brainer you dont need anyone to tell you. For those not in the UK Grott bag was a charactor in a tv series here. Harry Markle I wonder what you think when you look back to those early blogs ? I can certainly see why you started .
I came here for the process against ANL. Harry Markle was the only one who put the complete information, but then I had to read the previous articles because there were many things that I read in newspaper comments that seemed too absurd ... and they turned out to be true.
And that Harry Markle has taken some old articles of stories that if you read them you do not believe. Like the thing about Skippy's wedding. Keeping track of all the nonsense the Harkles have done is hard work, because every week since 2016 they do absurd things.
Marcela Castro I have looked at the time line post, Back in early 2016 I was a bit bored and used to gossip web sites, one of which I have since learnt was Canadian. Like a bread crumb trail hints were being dropped some months before,maybe before she even met him.
I saw some photos from that wedding. TW is just glaring at the woman who is talking to H at their table. Then she seems to pull another weird face and throw her arms in the air. Certainly didn’t look like a loving couple in Jamaica.
Mavis Lenhardt there is also one where she is holding his face and kissing him, if you really look its a very powerful grip she has on him and in no way loving or sexy.Reading back and looking at photo's I find it qiute chilling. by the way my boys all silvers current one black .
I guess that will depend on whether any of the rose-coloured scales are starting to fall from his eyes, back in Montedeceito. If he were any other person, I’d say JCMH must be joining the dots by now and realising big chunks of the picture are missing but........🙄 Even a dim & reputedly hot-headed guy must surely find it intellectually and emotionally exhausting to live with someone on Red Alert, looking for for imagined slights and snubs 24/7.
For some reason, seeing your "Montedeiceito" quip makes me think of how the DM has links at the top. They currently have separate links that say, "Meghan Markle" "Games." Coincidence? I think not.
"Montedeceito" Ahem! Being a VERY literal person (nuances have to be hammered into my thick head), I first thought you misspelled Montecito. Silly me! Great word play! I love it! I'm probably going to start spelling it that way myself. (I'll bet the neighbors are cursing the realtor who showed TW that house.)
They are. I live in Santa Barbara and my children's Godmother lives down the street from TW and JCMH. She just put her home on the market for sale after being born and raised here (she's 60). Their next door neighbor did as well. We do not like them. (As an American, I apologize for TW). I had never heard of her before she began dating JCMH. We love your RF and my friends were very saddened by PP's death. What an inspiration he was. (My father is 94 and enlisted at 16). It was a different generation that spoilt JCMH will never understand. D of C and PW are amazing because they are genuinely happy and enjoy their lovely family. Fingers crossed that TW and JCMH wither on the vine and just go away. Soon please. Thank you HM for this sane place to read and enjoy intelligent and well researched conversation. And, I too like a good Lager with breakfast. Cheers!
TW probably thinks people are putting their homes on the market because the values have risen so much since they moved in, an alternative wouldn't enter her head.
Glimmertwin66 Your telling me, the look on some of the faces at the sunday invictus thing, and the baby bump one are hilarious if it were not so evil. I mean we've all been out with friends and you get one who's had to much your trying to get them in a taxi and they want to talk to everyone.
Alberta Green... it would appear that 'books' are appearing (lol)... I understand that there'll soon be one about MM - written by a Mr. Tom Bower.... now that one might be an interesting read perhaps?
I've become addicted to this wonderful blog. I read through the comments with my first cup of coffee, check it again with a cup of tea at lunchtime, visit again with a glass of wine before supper and then check in one more time before I go to bed. In between those times I manage to get out for a 6 km hike and also train my Golden Retriever!
Mavis, I agree. I get up here in OZ, get my tea and then sit down in the dark (around 5am) to “catch up” on overnight posts. That’s it. So much posted overnight. I am still at it at 7am just to get the bearings. Then off to do necessities and back around midday to really get into it and do necessary postings !! Then another check later in the evening to see what’s happening. I am totally addicted!!!
Thanks. He’s a little “red” Golden with a lot of energy. We do competitive Obedience, Rally and Field with him. Gives us a chance to socialize safely outdoors while we’re going through this COVID pandemic.
We had two poodles, they came with the husband LOL. Very smart dogs. A friend had a miniature poodle who was the first in North America to get his WCX title and Grand Master Obedience. Such a sweet boy too.
Oh dear join the club. We will have to go through this blog together. I am afraid I won't get the latest news regarding the Q's decision. So I keep checking.
She now has a producer husband... again I could add if I was feeling Megish ;)
Her husband could... nah forget.... they will order some production for the birth of baby girl... All Saints help us as this celebratory video from The Dukes of Cambridge won't go without payback; the new days might be even more insane :(
Read all of the below about homeless in US. Thank the Lord the homeless are not being forgotten at this time. 🙏
I have a question for our American friends please. Are there any plans/initiatives in place to vaccinate the homeless/tent cities in LA ? All lives matter not selective bandwagons to jump on for publicity. Any insights from the folk on here no matter where you are in our world?

Here in Virginia we have a lot of pop up clinics to vaccinate homeless and poor people in targeted neighborhoods.
Here in Connecticut, the homeless population started getting vaccinated in February. Right now, the positivity rate is 1.3%. Fingers crossed that this low number holds.
Yes there is an active recruitment of homeless people here in USA....keeping walk in sites open 24/7 to administer vaccines..
True. It’s the in the trenches people doing it. Not the celeb crowd.
With COVID, health advisors believe ‘herd immunity’ will be achieved when 70% of the population (approx 200 million for USA) have been vaccinated. We need to remember even the experts are still evaluating data, learning and adapting.

Same. HI Debbie!...bit breezy this morning :)
Hi Michelle! It is and chilly up on my mountain ridge.

Forgot to mention - lot of humour on here too which is a great release when we are shocked by the antics of h and 🐠 wife.

Should read carboot, heaven knows what a carnot is, blooming auto correct.
It's for you to consider.
There now going to be a rush as we all look that up!
Can’t find categories!
Go onto harrymarkle.wordpress then scroll to ‘Archives’ (on the right), then click on March 2018. Intriguing!
Mine only go back to January this year as far as I can see, cos that’s when I signed up I think 😢
Do as Rachel advises, on the left of Archives is a box saying categories, click on that and you can scroll to MA's name.

Very well done Temple!
Great read Temple!
'Ain't Karma a b***h?
Thoroughly enjoyed that Temple.
Spot on!
Brilliant!
You have to add the timing of the covid pandemic, that changed the world. No longer corporate meetings and other events with Speakers billed millions of bucks. The Harkles were reduced to gatecrashing Zoom meetings of teenagers.
Actually I think that might have worked in their favour: they could blame the empty mailboxes on Covid and not their own ineptness.
Great analysis Temple, and it looks as if in some respects TQ’s strategy may be paying off, helped by dear Prince Philip timing his departure to perfection. As I have said elsewhere that was his last great contribution.
Brilliant!
Hubbie brought my early morning cuppa, got out of bed, had my shower and dressed, came downstairs, put on the washing machine and sat down to plan my day, thought to myself I wonder if anyone has posted anything interesting overnight on Our Harry's blog. What do I find. The funniest, truest essay on our arch enemies, the Harkles. Made my day. Well done Temple.👏👏👏👏🤣🤣 Love it.
or how to boost your own ( RF) profile, while somebody else (TW) pays for the PR?
💣💥👍🙄
I just heard a comment that makes a lot of sense: that HW wants to be the Queen's nemesis because this would make her the second most famous woman in the world.
What can you expect, she does live in La La land. 🤪🤯
just heads up the express is reporting Discovery+Channel in which OW owns stocks is airing a tv show on the 30th “M&H :” recollections may vary” apparently a bunch of “Royal Experts” and body languages are going to dissect the interview i think this is an attempt to put pressure on the RF to give in,i’m not a person who easily h@tes other human beings but this Okra just has me really really close 😠
Don't worry about, it's just their PR to make ppl rise to the bait. H and his wife have not gained any respect and lost all credibility meanwhile. Ow had respect in many ways in the past, but she aligned with the wrong people. I don't know about the body language ppl, but us plain Joe's can read a con when we see one. So the 'paid' body language speakers can spout what they like, but tbh, if anything, anyone who has a little doubt, will be turned to the right side of life after (apart from the dodgy ones, but they are wearing thin, on other forums). Ask me 3 months ago about the tide, I was dubious, ask me now about 'the tide', I simply roll my eyes. There is no tide. Try as they may, even this latest Covid thing, 8 days would have passed since their announcent and the actual thing... 8 days in covid, is like many many lives. Stop with the talk and scheduled events, hand over the money!! Yr all 'loaded' off the back of 'us' aftr all!. Other genuine humanitarians outshine the 'make blvrs' or rather the 'blv US' every step of the way.... Keep speaking up, don't waste yr time on the drivel ♥️
@Angel thank you ❤️
Can anyone imagine any time in history when the Monarch’s words have been mocked and sold for profit?
The Queen’s brilliant and subtly acid response “Recollections May Vary” is such an elegant, calm intelligent put down that it rises above all the unruly rabble rousing of the ghastly duo and their sycophantic supporters . Trying to mock it is not only rude but unintelligent and ineffective IMHO. I think it is a saying which will become popular in public usage. So much classier than calling them ,or anyone else, liars.
Maybe the Queen should have copy righted the phrase. What a put down it was.
Mocked, yes. Plenty in the past. I cannot recall any of the mockers selling their bile for personal profit and PR aggrandisement though. But, to be honest, that is not an angle I have ever thought to research. (I mean, who would, until the onset of the stepped back/down/away duo😳) TW sets the barre ever lower.
In light of the very political undertones of the latest bandwagon, just wondering if rules to keep comments apolitical could be relaxed?
The very tragic crisis unfolding in India is still very raw and the world is rushing to provide much needed equipment, supplies and aid. It enrages me, that this tragic collapse in India’s health system is being linked to what surmounts (imo) to little more than diversion from current administrative policy (or agenda) with a supporter studded ‘concert’
After some reflection, I have come to some conclusions. Your comments demonstrate how much you know about this Markle couple and how much MM's PR posts distress you. Today's anniversary celebration of the PW and the DoC is a marker of how the circle has been closed this horrible year by the Cambridges through their public service and the recent GovPoll. The Cambridges have been impressive as they embraced their roles showing the British people that the legendary care and support from the monarchy will prevail. The people have responded in spades. The other couple will continue plotting, manipulating, and lying in attempts to destroy what they consider is meaningless and doesn't matter, the Monarchy, (and its history, traditions, and unifying and comforting social presence). Maybe The Queen knows what she's doing. Let's be hopeful. (I am an older American with an English heritage who believes this Hollywood schemer will not 'topple' the monarchy.)
palhart: lovely, thoughtful post... I too believe our Monarchy will prevail.
I love that you refer to them as “this Markle couple” , let’s hope that is how they can be seen from now on...sums it all up really!
After a conversation I had on here re MA and what he looked like and disappearing bump, I looked back and found the photos as someone suggested and was both shocked and laughing. I have decided to go back to all HM blogs I missed before I started lurking. Not being a Royal watcher or follower till all this started there were quite a lot of gaps as I did'nt know the events people were referring to.I lurked for a lot longer than I thought so there is not as much as I imagined. Like I am sure many of us on here at various points in my life I have kept a journal, mostly when traveling. Something I made up my mind to do during lock down thats been a bit patchy mostly due to spending time with all my new friends on here.Have to say I never realised what a real Grott Bag tw was, when turning up for events and just never seemed to learn from her mistakes getting heels stuck in mud is a no brainer you dont need anyone to tell you. For those not in the UK Grott bag was a charactor in a tv series here. Harry Markle I wonder what you think when you look back to those early blogs ? I can certainly see why you started .
Grotbags wasn't it? The witch with a green face.
I came here for the process against ANL. Harry Markle was the only one who put the complete information, but then I had to read the previous articles because there were many things that I read in newspaper comments that seemed too absurd ... and they turned out to be true.
And that Harry Markle has taken some old articles of stories that if you read them you do not believe. Like the thing about Skippy's wedding. Keeping track of all the nonsense the Harkles have done is hard work, because every week since 2016 they do absurd things.
Marcela Castro I have looked at the time line post, Back in early 2016 I was a bit bored and used to gossip web sites, one of which I have since learnt was Canadian. Like a bread crumb trail hints were being dropped some months before,maybe before she even met him.
I saw some photos from that wedding. TW is just glaring at the woman who is talking to H at their table. Then she seems to pull another weird face and throw her arms in the air. Certainly didn’t look like a loving couple in Jamaica.
He didn’t respond to her at all when she embraces him...his arms remained by his sides as I recall.
Mavis Lenhardt there is also one where she is holding his face and kissing him, if you really look its a very powerful grip she has on him and in no way loving or sexy.Reading back and looking at photo's I find it qiute chilling. by the way my boys all silvers current one black .
Are they miniatures or standard?
Mavis Lendhardt All 3 sizse at different times, standard being a US inport. by the way what is rallying?
TW will be seething of course but I wonder what Harry thinks if he sees these photos/video of his brother and family?
I guess that will depend on whether any of the rose-coloured scales are starting to fall from his eyes, back in Montedeceito. If he were any other person, I’d say JCMH must be joining the dots by now and realising big chunks of the picture are missing but........🙄 Even a dim & reputedly hot-headed guy must surely find it intellectually and emotionally exhausting to live with someone on Red Alert, looking for for imagined slights and snubs 24/7.
For some reason, seeing your "Montedeiceito" quip makes me think of how the DM has links at the top. They currently have separate links that say, "Meghan Markle" "Games." Coincidence? I think not.
"MonteDECEITo", love that!!
I can't claim it as mine. I call it a borrowing! I can't recall where I found it. [DM possibly?]
"Montedeceito" Ahem! Being a VERY literal person (nuances have to be hammered into my thick head), I first thought you misspelled Montecito. Silly me! Great word play! I love it! I'm probably going to start spelling it that way myself. (I'll bet the neighbors are cursing the realtor who showed TW that house.)
The Count and Countess o f Montedeceito or Moneydeceito
They are. I live in Santa Barbara and my children's Godmother lives down the street from TW and JCMH. She just put her home on the market for sale after being born and raised here (she's 60). Their next door neighbor did as well. We do not like them. (As an American, I apologize for TW). I had never heard of her before she began dating JCMH. We love your RF and my friends were very saddened by PP's death. What an inspiration he was. (My father is 94 and enlisted at 16). It was a different generation that spoilt JCMH will never understand. D of C and PW are amazing because they are genuinely happy and enjoy their lovely family. Fingers crossed that TW and JCMH wither on the vine and just go away. Soon please. Thank you HM for this sane place to read and enjoy intelligent and well researched conversation. And, I too like a good Lager with breakfast. Cheers!
TW probably thinks people are putting their homes on the market because the values have risen so much since they moved in, an alternative wouldn't enter her head.
That’s local knowledge from the source. Thanks for that news.
Yes! That picture says 1,000 words.Hawwy and The first wife leaving and I’d like to know what those words were.
Charles 70th BD. Very interesting.
Harry Markle started a while ago, a real call to realization of media manipulation.
Glimmertwin66 Your telling me, the look on some of the faces at the sunday invictus thing, and the baby bump one are hilarious if it were not so evil. I mean we've all been out with friends and you get one who's had to much your trying to get them in a taxi and they want to talk to everyone.
Oprah now flogging her new book about her childhood abuse more bloody victimhood from the queen of victims "!
Alberta Green... it would appear that 'books' are appearing (lol)... I understand that there'll soon be one about MM - written by a Mr. Tom Bower.... now that one might be an interesting read perhaps?
Is she trying to deflect from the fallout of THAT interview with The Thing and Ginger The Rat?????
A lot of people have. We just get on with life and STOP whining!!!
It’s called being an adult.
While the subject of healing from trauma is an important one, I don’t trust O or any of her experts so I won’t be reading her book.
Whaaaaaat?? Lol
This is real old news. OW came out with this years ago. I think it was when she won the academy award for Color Purple. Just another me too.
Heard about this decades ago from ow.
She did not win an academy award
I know I corrected my error. Thanks.
opps that was whoppe goldberg that got award. But OW came out years ago about abuse.
I've become addicted to this wonderful blog. I read through the comments with my first cup of coffee, check it again with a cup of tea at lunchtime, visit again with a glass of wine before supper and then check in one more time before I go to bed. In between those times I manage to get out for a 6 km hike and also train my Golden Retriever!
Mavis, I agree. I get up here in OZ, get my tea and then sit down in the dark (around 5am) to “catch up” on overnight posts. That’s it. So much posted overnight. I am still at it at 7am just to get the bearings. Then off to do necessities and back around midday to really get into it and do necessary postings !! Then another check later in the evening to see what’s happening. I am totally addicted!!!
Same here, Lucia🇦🇺
Me too! Morning coffee and this blog help brush away the cobwebs of a poor night's sleep!
Mavis Lenhardt Good luck with your dog training.
Thanks. He’s a little “red” Golden with a lot of energy. We do competitive Obedience, Rally and Field with him. Gives us a chance to socialize safely outdoors while we’re going through this COVID pandemic.
Mavis Lenhardt Did tracking ,Obedience with one of my boys and another was a very early PAT boy best dog I ever had. Poodles.
We had two poodles, they came with the husband LOL. Very smart dogs. A friend had a miniature poodle who was the first in North America to get his WCX title and Grand Master Obedience. Such a sweet boy too.
Mavis Lenhardt What colour?
Ours were apricot and my friend’s was white.
Oh dear join the club. We will have to go through this blog together. I am afraid I won't get the latest news regarding the Q's decision. So I keep checking.
Thank goodness for Our Harry.
Yes, it’s great to get such well researched and explained information from Harry Markle.
We can count on Our Harry for insightful analysis.
Yes agree 100%
At least it is guaranteed TW will never copy the DofC and take her own family photos as she'd have to be behind the camera.....
She now has a producer husband... again I could add if I was feeling Megish ;)
Her husband could... nah forget.... they will order some production for the birth of baby girl... All Saints help us as this celebratory video from The Dukes of Cambridge won't go without payback; the new days might be even more insane :(
And that would never do. Front and centre always!
And with the same smile. I can just see H&M walking together and she is looking for the camera. I'M ready for my close up Mr. DeMille.
It's like she's had some kind of camera tracker implanted as she always manages to home in every camera in the vicinity.
