“There’s actually a bit of snobbery about Meghan now in the US because she’s become a celebrity story rather than a news one,” said one journalist who works for an American media company. She recalls the Duchess’s campaign for paid parental leave, where she wrote letters to senior US politicians, prompting speculation she was pursuing a career in politics.
“We rang (US Speaker) Nancy Pelosi’s office to see if they wanted to respond and they just laughed.
If you want paid leave, you don’t write to a politician, you write to your HR department.
“the Duchess’s campaign for paid parental leave”
Soon she’ll want to leave her husband, and get paid for it.
Depends for whom? Princess Sparkles? No, probably not. She manages to land these potentially lucrative contracts to speak about being Princess Sparkles and bring her audience of loyal followers with her celebrity status and then bangs on about nothing but nonsense.
She might not have exhausted her appeal yet, but I suspect more media organisations will let the secretary take the call than deal with the narcissistic cuntery of MeGain Markle.
As for Harry? As soon as MeGain realises that any potential value he had as a Prince has worn off (or at least tarnished), he’ll be served with divorce papers and back to groping around for some purpose in middle age.
Despite her treatment in the British press, I still think Princess Margaret had the right idea. Polo, parties, snogging and shagging is the only thing to do once your role as “Royal Spare” has come to an end.
One thing we don’t need is a 21st Century reincarnation of the Duke of Windsor, especially not with MeGain Markle in the role as Mrs. Simpson mark II.
An Act of Parliament is required saying that if the William and his children die before the children have children then the royal line passes to Princess Anne and her descendants.
Or simply pass the throne to a different Royal House. How about the Swedes? The idea of descendants of one of Napoleon’s Marshalls on our throne would raise a smile.
Fortunately, we don’t have to pass such an act, since the existing act already allows Parliament to “skip over” those directly in the line of succession if they are deemed unsuitable.
However, the reality is that quite a lot of Parliamentarians would deem both Harry & MeGain eminently suitable, although whether their agenda is to diversify and strengthen the monarchy or destroy it is a matter of some debate.
On the downside, MeGain Markle would take this as yet another example of the “insidious racism” that she has received at the hands of the Royal Family and Household staff.
Personally, I suspect that the worst thing they ever said to her was “No”, but she is, was and always will be a crazy and entitled fucking bitch.
Harry should have left her in the trailer park where she belonged. You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
JG: Princess Margaret could have made a better job of the public service thing, but she was treated appallingly over Peter Townsend so it’s not surprising she said fuck the lot of you.
Princess Anne seems to be a bit of a Stakhanov at the public service gig. No idea if she enjoys it for what it is or not, but you can’t gainsay the commitment.
Peter Townsend didn’t help, hero or not, he should have been cashiered for dipping his wick instead of doing his duty. Married man an all.
No, it was Antony Armstrong-Jones that really screwed her up, bent as a two bob note in every respect, whereas she was genuinely trying to do the wife and mother bit as Queenie did and made a hash of it, mainly because whenever she had a crying jag he fucked off.
So yes, I can entirely see when all that broke down she just said “Fuck the lot of you” and spent as much time as she could drinking gin, smoking and shagging in the islands.
I would have done the same. Probably earlier in fact.
