Does that constitute "hounding" and dark forces vegansrock?

As I said at the time it is a natural instict to hold your bump when you feel threatened or are around people you dont like. Kate was more relaxed on charity visits, touching her bumps lightly or letting her hand rest there.

MMs bump holding was of the "protective" time. And with retrospect that body language was clear: she didnt want to be there, she didnt want to be meeting the people

Is that really an unfair analysis?
MM was out their OFFICIALLY representing US! If shes on visits displaying defensive bodylanguage I dont think its not our business.

They were hardly calling her or her baby cruel or unkind names by noticing her lack of ease on walk arounds or tours.

Maybe she hated the job. Maybe Harrys conspiracy theories had her terrified who knows but she did lack ease and interest in the people she visited, and it made her a poor representative of Britain

Quote, Meghan will always have to walk behind Camilla and Kate.!!!!! Is that the problem? what next ?having to curtsy to the queen.? Megan, unlike Kate who was seen as 'waity Katy', was thrown in at the deep end. How long had Meghan known Harry ? what did she know being married to a prince would entail ?This step they are taking is the one that will save their marriage. Like his great great uncle Edward, Harry is willing to throw in the towel for the woman he loves.

Headline from Daily Mail - a couple of years ago - "Kate tenderly caresses her baby bump "
Mail on Sunday " Why does Meghan hold her baby bump? is it acting?"
Who says she hasn't been bullied?
Funny a few years ago Camilla was the hate figure.
Let get rid of the lot of em.

He is beginning to display Trump-ish traits. His ramblings are becoming nonsensical and contradictory, he says his website is the only one telking the truth everything else is shot down as fake news. Made up figures (the "only 5%" claim doesnt not appear to be standing up to scrutiny, the "if you dont tell my Im amazing youre my enemy" and inflated sense of their own importance...

... so maybe speculation about president team Meghsn arent that much of a reach

Agreed Anniebach. I’ve said before on another thread thank Goodness William married his ‘Camilla’ and Harry ended up with his ‘mother’ and it didn’t happen t’other way around or the royals would be in a right mess! let em go....

Diana also played for the camera and had her chosen newspaper columnists ready to jump when she telephoned them.

notanan2 Fri 10-Jan-20 11:04:05

They are playing to a US audience. Faux abducation, claiming that brits "dont talk about feelings" etc... its all disney nonsense but they dont care if we dont buy it so long as it sells stateside

SirChenjin Fri 10-Jan-20 11:03:05

One interesting question is with Meghan and Harry gone who will be the Royal baddies now?

They haven’t gone though - they’re gracing is with their presence on a part time basis. Hurrah!

notanan2 Fri 10-Jan-20 11:02:29

I think their main plan will be to milk the rejected disney princess bride and king that abducated for love (except he isnt ever going to be king, and he stropped off out of anger)

That will keep them going for a long long time.

Di didnt exactly get a day job, she lived off her family money and freebies from sycophants who wanted her to holiday at their island/villa etc

Anniebach Fri 10-Jan-20 10:59:42

She has been overacting for 3 years

notanan2 Fri 10-Jan-20 10:58:21

she must really miss acting
* I don't think so, she been putting on a show for the past 3 years.*

Not even a great one. Shes not learnt to fake interest in anyone but herself. The smile gets slapped on when she sees the cameras but shes not a good enough actress to keep it going and reverts to the bored stroppy schoolgirl look once she thinks the cameras are off her

I think you'll find that Edward learnt his lesson some years ago when he wanted to set up a theatre company. The same with Sophie and her PR company.

notanan2 Fri 10-Jan-20 10:55:22

Even with the help of her new best buddies, Oprah and George, she's just not good enough.

Does it matter? There are loads of A listers who cant act!

There is something about how H&M are about each other, a lack of ease , that reminds me of Tom cruise jumping on Oprahs couch about loving Katie Holmes...

Maybe they'll have enough scientology friends to propel her career along regardless of whether or not she's doing a good job

One interesting question is with Meghan and Harry gone who will be the Royal baddies now?It can't be Charles and Camilla they've done their time and are now a favourite couple. There's Uncle Andy but it would be better if there was a wife (and actually he's got real issues, speculation makes better press). The D of E is on his last legs so no longer considered. Where is Edward? He needs to watch out. Of course there's Will and Kate.

notanan2 Fri 10-Jan-20 10:52:27

Perhaps feels that his marriage, and Archie, are the most important things in his life, and is determined to protect them.

He seems hell bent on repeating all of Dis mistakes! Which is the opposite of protecting them.

A big movie star she ain't gonna be. Have you seen Suits?

Whatever they are going for they are NOT going for privacy, that is certain:
It already says on their website that they are selecting their press contacts
No doubt the sycophantic type that call them fabulous and elegant and say little else unless called upon for a sad face brit bashing interview, which personally I dont think MM is qualified to do as she showed little interest in getting to know what makes Brits tick, from the start she was all about "listen to me I'll make you better people".

On official visits she showed no interest in listening to british peoples stories. She painted on her pokerface smile if the cameras were on, ignored and was rude if she thought they were off.

Now I think she never wanted to get to know us. She watched princess bride too many times and thinks we are all stiffy silly little people who need to learn from her that our ways are silly.. and she is angry that we didnt.

She's like someone who took on a promotion they couldnt handle, and rather than either address their gaps in skills, or leave, they blame their co-workers, the firm, the height of their chair etc...

Gwiz5 Fri 10-Jan-20 10:43:24

She must really miss acting .. and getting paid for it!
The firm are definitely going through some problems. What with uncle gropey , grandad car crash and ex aunty toe suck , everyone on benefits and having loads of kids and to top it all having more holidays than working people can afford .... bring back JK this is a 6 part series on there for sure. grin

merlotgran Fri 10-Jan-20 10:42:57

Will Archie have a pixillated face from now on like the Clooney twins? grin

annsixty Fri 10-Jan-20 10:42:20

Lucywinter

I have no doubt they both love Archie to bits, I certainly wasn't suggesting anything other than that but he is another factor in the plan.
Her family apart from her mother have never been allowed to meet him, Harry and his family won't want the same thing for themselves, he is a bargaining chip whether you like it or not.
Have you never read any of the estrangement threads on GN of MN?
It is full of such stories.

lucywinter Fri 10-Jan-20 10:41:08

Perhaps Harry

lucywinter Fri 10-Jan-20 10:40:47

Perhaps feels that his marriage, and Archie, are the most important things in his life, and is determined to protect them. I think they will sort this out satisfactorily. I hope so. we shall see.

And I'm not Meghan's mum.

Sark Fri 10-Jan-20 10:39:06

Jane43 yep that sounds very possible.
If she is to become a big movie star I can't see how she can keep her HRH title.....
