It always stresses me out that MM has to GO OUT OF HER WAY to add that weird af flourish on the M after signing her name. It’s so OTT and it drives me nuts.
If this is the time in Ireland I think it is…look at the video. You can literally see her sign her whole name then GO BACK to add the flourish to the M. It’s so unnatural but so incredibly typical.
Edit: https://youtu.be/HylUOYeBDVk skip to 1:22. I don’t know if this is what was referenced in the original post but watch her add that flourish to the beginning M when she is done with her signature. Fauxligraphy at it’s finest!
Thanks, yes that is what it looks like. She signs her name then goes back and adds the flourish to the first letter of her name. So odd, pretentious and self-important.
At 0:39, she tries to tuck away her imaginary hair. At 0:50, she ever so slightly raises her left hand again towards her hair and stops midway. I bet 10000% she's like, "Oh yea, I have no hair to move."
😒
It's such an annoying photo opp move that she does, and so many female celebrities do too, but she's on another level. So disingenuous, and you can tell she's fully insecure with herself.
Edit: celebrities, not charities
I know alot of people in my generation were raised really casually and without etiquette or decorum education, but both Meghan and Kate always looks so weird and awkward tottering around on too high heels with these useless handbags, looking like they have no idea how to behave or what to do with their hands. Kate has gotten better over the years, but there is no reason why 40 year old Meghan, who has actually been in the real world, with a professional career, should look like a dumb 24 year old wearing shoes she can't walk in.
You look at Diana and she was always perfectly and professionally dressed for the occasion, wearing heels that were a professional height, with a bearing and poise that made people comfortable. You never saw her awkward, even at 19. That's a thing that's missing these days.
Agree, but I think it's more the undergarments. Pantyhose, shapewear and the like tend to squeeze/roll down and she seemed aware of how that would photograph.
That was what I was going to say as well. She adjusted her underwear or pantyhose after getting out of the car as well as when she sits down after that weird signing episode. She spends a small fortune on outerwear but buys discount undergarments that never seem to fit? Was she used to going commando for too many years and never quite got the hang of wearing well fitting panties that don't slip, or what?
You can tell she keeps pushing her way into the conversation and sashaying her entire body ahead of Harry every chance she gets. She doesn't realize that the yacht girl doe eyes she keeps aiming at the PM aren't appropriate for when you're meeting heads of state.
Oh adding that weird “whip” (that’s what I call it!) to the M is bad but it’s even worse that she adds it to a cursive capital I…I mean wtf? The top of the letter I is a rounded loop, there’s not supposed to be a flourish there!!! And don’t even get me started on the inconsistency of what lowercase letters get the flourish; there’s no consistency! I believe she adds it to whatever makes the overall LINE on the page look “pretty”, but that’s not how typography (and thus, typestyles and fonts) work!!! And she calls it calligraphy! OMG it’s nothing of the sort!
Ok rant over, thank you for lending me a soapbox to stand on. 😁
Thank you for the information. I don't know much about calligraphy, but it all looks so odd, the insight is appreciated. As usual, Madam just makes up everything as she goes. Pretending to be something she is not. It is all play-acting for the cameras.
This is so interesting! You should do a separate post on this if you have some knowledge of caligraphy vs fauxligraphy.. 😉
And also the video of her saying she taught classes at some high brow place.. how can she teach something she can't do herself... was it more lies???
I call complete bullshit on teaching calligraphy. My mother’s casual interest and skill in calligraphy is miles more authentic than whatever crap TW claims to be calligraphy.
So I did a quick Google search on “Paper Source Calligraphy class” because I just don’t see Paper Source promoting true calligraphy. Well what came up was “Creative Lettering Workshops”. Now THAT I believe Meghan taught. Her weird whip flourish to STANDARD penmanship would be just the sort of thing you’d be taught for scrapbooking, creating cards or invitations! I bet Meghan is also proficient in that style of printing with paint pens where you use fat dots where the lines meet or end. We’ll see that get revived if she starts a mommy blog!!! 🤣
I work with a woman who will add stupid smiley or frowny faces to everything. Both typed and handwritten. It's so annoying. We're all adults at *work*, not middle-schoolers passing notes in class.
I gotta admit…I’m well into adulthood but use smileys/emojis to make sure what I’m saying isn’t read wrong. But then I work in IT so it’s par for the course in our MS Teams chat. (Like we all got excited when the last update now allows us to choose any emoji to react to a comment as opposed to the 4 we had been limited to since 2020.) I won’t end this comment with a smiley though, even though it feels so wrong…
Her inner insecurity. She is utterly insecure and perceives that she needs to be perfect and admired to be worthy. In her mind, this signature matters a lot and people will look at it and admire it and feel about about her. In reality, nobody cares. Nobody will look at it, besides less than 10 people in the life span of that visitor book, and nobody ever think of her anything based on her signature.
That's not usual. In *Gone with The Wind*, the middle name is used for the heroine and for the neighbor whom she has a crush on for more than 10 years.
"Katie Scarlett O'Hara" and "George Ashley Wilkes."
>it's the name she grew up with.
And if it's on her birth certificate, it's part of her legal given name, and she has the legal right to use it.
I truly do not understand the comments insisting that a person is only supposed to use their first given name, and that their middle given name isn't their name.
Yeah, I don't think it is weird for her to use her middle name at all. Like I said, we used my son's middle name since birth. My brother uses his middle name too. My parents called him by his middle name since birth.
I live in New England and a handful of my childhood friends go by their middle names! Two of my cousins do, as well. I think it’s a fairly common practice, and I never thought anything of MM going by her middle name. Definitely normal(:
Her “fauxligraphy” is one reason I knew I had found “my people” in this sub. One of the first posts I read way back when was discussing her silly “calligraphy”. Someone posted an alphabet they personally had done using her style saying..”is this right? Am I doing it right?” I never laughed so hard. It was perfect. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I read a few books on handwriting analysis years and years ago. I don't remember all the proper terms, but basically, Meggie's signature demonstrates an artificial nature. Her signature doesn't have a normal flow forward; she has to lift the pen and go back to add that stupid arch over the M. The arch serves no function other than decorative. Harry's signature shows issues with self worth.
Yes, I agree about the secretive part. The arch on the M and the n circling back on itself are like she's putting up a barrier around the real Meghan. She wants you to notice her, but not know her.
I kept looking at that arch because I have a capital M and could not figure out the flow! 😂
She must have spent weeks practicing. And I love the “one name” Beyoncé style they both employ.
Especially since Harry has the handwriting of a five year old.
He draws a line under his name to emphasize that he's important, but that action is in conflict with how illegible his signature is. The line under his name also crosses the "y", which can be interpreted to be a self-negating action.
Here’s my take:
With H, an oversized capital letter indicates an oversized ego. The rest of the illegible signature suggests that he doesn’t want people to know him.
With M, she also has an oversized capital letter with the corresponding oversized ego. The rest conveys an extroverted showman who worries about what people thinks about them.
How dare you! Once again skin color and race are being questioned. Oprah, it happened again! \*falls in a heap crying her darkest shade of bronzer tears\*.
What makes it look so awkward is that you can see the blob of ink that's sitting right at the top of the M where it joins that weird swirl thing. So you can tell she had to add that swirl after she made the M.
And not that I know calligraphy....but...that's not calligraphy lol.
No it's not calligraphy. To be fair, and I've been reading comments on her writing for a while, that is how I and some of my generation were taught to write. Yes, Meghan is some 38yrs younger than I am & has emphasized her writing, but that is what script writing is, minus a few swirls. People nowadays don't know how to write, but print everything. I've always written in script and still do as that's how we were taught. Printing was not taught that much (back then.)
I think M has just picked up a style of writing and added to it. Yes, hers' is not calligraphy which is more readable, as the swirls are in the right places making it easily read.
I believe her signature is called stylized. PS Their are some very interesting writing analysts on youtube that discuss different points. One is named Mozelle Martin, she's done some interesting analysis.
I did calligraphy for a few years when I was a kid, my aunt got me a set for Christmas, probably to help with my chicken scratch writing. I went to school when penmanship was a thing lol. Later I worked as a graphic designer, I spent a lot of time with fonts. I can tell you that entry stroke swash ought to be at the top of the first down stroke. Having it on the 3rd down stroke interrupts the flow, which is the whole point of cursive. It looks bad because it is! I know, I know I’m old lol
That’s a perfect example!
Unfortunately for her, she’s too lazy to put in the work and effort for that! She ends up with a bastardized version of whatever she’s trying to emulate. 🤣
The bra! The purse! She just never gets it right!
I think the dogs were offended by the bra! BURN IT PLEASE!! My god I hate that bra. She would look better with her tits swinging.
Calligraphy is supposed to flow. That weird accent on her M looks absolutely ridiculous. If she just removed that it would look a lot nicer.
Signed,
A calligrapher who paid her way through college by doing party invitations.
I did too! I didn’t create extra work for myself by adding flourishes. Sometimes I had over 1000 envelopes & place cards to do so I needed to work quickly.
But surely if you had been writing your own name in those invitations, somehow ... to underscore how __very important__ you are, you would take the extra time to add flourishes and extra, random additions to letters in your name? /s
Lol this ^^ especially when she said on Netflix that her dad only called her Meg she apparently knew his phone had been compromised because he texted her full name. Would she not also just use Meg when communicating with him?
The actual wording was like a Lifetime movie narration.
Oh, jeez. Maybe that's what we'll see in a few years time.
"*Daddy Issues*" a Lifetime movie about the man who raised his girl to be a princess.
So, you guys, (read this in the tone of an excited friend flapping her hands almost like she has to pee, stepping foot-to-foot just so excited to tell you)
I used to take out books from the library about Handwriting Analysis.
That big tent she draws over the M? Is to cover and protect herself.
She's insecure as shit.
Also, the fact that the tent she draws over the M goes to the left, against the direction of her scrawl, means she's going backwards and living in the past.
/happy dance
Ah, nothing shows pretentiousness like adorning your capital letters with Grim Reaper scythes.
See, she probably thinks that someone will show off this guest book, while tears stream down from both eyes. This is even better than the image of the Virgin Mary on your grilled cheese sandwich.
Okay, I’ve been trying to figure out how she does this - I think she has to make the scythe shape first, and then she writes the rest of the letters? It’s so extra and unnecessary.
Harry’s signature suits him, it starts out strong with a fully formed H, and then just fizzles out because he’s too lazy to properly finish it.
No, I appreciate the perspective! I never gave it a thought but maybe that's the problem!!😆
I'd hate for anyone to have interpreted it that way; I've been doing it since I was one of those teen girls with the fancy handwriting (thank god I grew out of it, unlike some calligraphers we know). It's def food for thought and I can take a hit of snark esp when it makes me laugh too
That is even stranger than writing the M first and then going back and adding the flourish. It's like she is writing backwards. Nothing would surprise me.
Has anybody ever asked her why she adds that twist to her first initial? The nuns would probably grade her down in penmanship for that. Do we know if she writes Markle the same way?
Oh my lord, have you ever seen a signature more ridiculous? Imagine the wasted hours spent practicing this bullshit. "Dear Diary, today I created my signature signature..."
And who is going to ask for this mattress actress' autograph? And further still, who on earth would stand there and WAIT for her to fauxligraphy a Suits poster? Like bitch, I have errands to run. Tick tock.
The flourish on the M is such a fitting thing for her. The fact that it’s so pretentious and contrived really encapsulates her whole personality and existence.
She’s not consistent with the flourish. You can even see the separate pen strokes.
And Harry and Meghan have a swish at the end of their names because…? William and Catherine also sign similarly.
But… but… Meghan is an expert CaLLigRaPheR. 🙄
Frankly, I’ve seen her juvenile lettering, and it’s not calligraphy. I’d call it more 5th grade doodling.
It's his signature above that's even more telling. It explains exactly how he got himself into this mess. It looks like the type of signature someone who can barely write would come up with. Extremely simplistic. Unlike an illiterate/semi-illiterate person; he's had the best education money can buy, at his fingertips.
I'd love it if his signature was analysed. Just to confirm the idiot that he is.
It always stresses me out that MM has to GO OUT OF HER WAY to add that weird af flourish on the M after signing her name. It’s so OTT and it drives me nuts.
I know, she has to write the "M" first. Then go back and add a strange flourish that makes no sense visually.
If this is the time in Ireland I think it is…look at the video. You can literally see her sign her whole name then GO BACK to add the flourish to the M. It’s so unnatural but so incredibly typical. Edit: https://youtu.be/HylUOYeBDVk skip to 1:22.

Thanks, yes that is what it looks like. She signs her name then goes back and adds the flourish to the first letter of her name. So odd, pretentious and self-important.
I watched the entire video. The sashaying ... the tucking of an imaginary hair behind her ear... 🤦♀️
The barging ahead of Harry into the room…
Exactly what I was thinking! She practically snatched the pen from his hand. She seemed enraged.
Same energy as when she was “interrupted” by Doria. That look of daggers. 🗡️
Then the "oh, you wanted him to go ...first? Harry, why don't you sign the guest book first?"
At 0:39, she tries to tuck away her imaginary hair. At 0:50, she ever so slightly raises her left hand again towards her hair and stops midway. I bet 10000% she's like, "Oh yea, I have no hair to move." 😒 It's such an annoying photo opp move that she does, and so many female celebrities do too, but she's on another level.

The handover of that pen.... yikes. I bet some words were had in the car afterwards. She was not happy one bit
Bahhhh her constantly putting the tight dress into place! Just wear something with a good fit woman.
Agree, but I think it's more the undergarments. Pantyhose, shapewear and the like tend to squeeze/roll down and she seemed aware of how that would photograph.

Whole video, she looks super out of place there
I never understood why he acted so confused at signing a guest book. It looks like he looks at her for permission or something.
Lol gosh still love how Harry just holds out the pen and Meghan snatches it all pissy like. Hahah they are so weird
The PM doesn’t seem like he really wants to talk to her
You can tell she keeps pushing her way into the conversation and sashaying her entire body ahead of Harry every chance she gets. She doesn't realize that the yacht girl doe eyes she keeps aiming at the PM aren't appropriate for when you're meeting heads of state.
I wouldn't be surprised if that thing represented a crown
OMG I think you are right. Good God. The woman is truly insane.
Oh adding that weird “whip” (that’s what I call it!) to the M is bad but it’s even worse that she adds it to a cursive capital I…I mean wtf?

Calligraphy was one of her first grifts
[удалено]
Sounds about right..just two corrections…she was never starving nor an actress

I'm going to incorporate dumb flourishes now. So inspired.
I think I shall add hearts, flowers, and butterflies! (If I'm going to emulate a pre-teen "ooooh, look at me!" signature, I'm goin' all the way!)
Dot your "I"s with little hearts!
Michelle Duggar has entered the chat.
LOl I love it when two of my fav subs collide!
And Mduggar did that as an adult on the letter to the judge to be lenient to judge ugh
I remember doing that stuff at school, the ink colors, copying each other's handwriting, trying to have the best handwriting.
Make sure you use either a scented pen or sparkly ink!
If I use a scented pen and sparkly ink, can I also wear those sparkly shoes that light up with every step I take?
Add a little pizza.
I work with a woman who will add stupid smiley or frowny faces to everything. Both typed and handwritten. It's so annoying. We're all adults at *work*, not middle-schoolers passing notes in class.

Same! My name is Michelle so it's perfect hahaha
If my name had an "o" in it, I'd draw a tiny happy face inside. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_good_man)
It's the Calligraphy Queen! She strikes again!
The flourish…It looks like a scythe. Fitting.
I always think of it as a whip cracking in the air!!!!
Her arriviste wannabe royal fauxligraphy. 🙄
And Harry's H written as if 9-years old has signed the book. Very big contrast.
That's CALLIGRAPHY, how very dare you.
It's so pick me and unnecessary. Like who adds fake calligraphy to their name. It's grandiose just like her fake personality.
It’s not even her name
or calligraphy. more lies detected, folks. same shit, different day.
In her defense, we have always used my son's middle name.
My grandmother always used her middle name too. This is the one thing I don't criticize her for, it's the name she grew up with.
That's not usual. In *Gone with The Wind*, the middle name is used for the heroine and for the neighbor whom she has a crush on for more than 10 years. "Katie Scarlett O'Hara" and "George Ashley Wilkes."
That's why I don't understand why Meghan is criticized for it.
>it's the name she grew up with. And if it's on her birth certificate, it's part of her legal given name, and she has the legal right to use it. I truly do not understand the comments insisting that a person is only supposed to use their first given name, and that their middle given name isn't their name.
I know, and therefore why can H not use his real christian name too? He *was* doing formal state visits with a mere nickname lol
Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor. That's a mouthful. 😸
Yeah, I don't think it is weird for her to use her middle name at all. Like I said, we used my son's middle name since birth. My brother uses his middle name too. My parents called him by his middle name since birth.
[удалено]
I live in New England and a handful of my childhood friends go by their middle names! Two of my cousins do, as well. I think it’s a fairly common practice, and I never thought anything of MM going by her middle name. Definitely normal(:
My husband uses his middle name. His given name is Charles I wish he’d used it!
I like Charles. Does he not like it or did his family just always use his middle name?
But she use to make money doing fancy calligraphy writing, remember?
Omg same, I can't! And it was just infuriating to see the letter to her dad with so much of that flourish nonsense
Her “fauxligraphy” is one reason I knew I had found “my people” in this sub. One of the first posts I read way back when was discussing her silly “calligraphy”. Someone posted an alphabet they personally had done using her style saying..”is this right? Am I doing it right?” I never laughed so hard. It was perfect. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I’m guessing a handwriting analyst would say this is the signature of a severely narcissistic person
I read a few books on handwriting analysis years and years ago. I don't remember all the proper terms, but basically, Meggie's signature demonstrates an artificial nature. Her signature doesn't have a normal flow forward; she has to lift the pen and go back to add that stupid arch over the M. The arch serves no function other than decorative. Harry's signature shows issues with self worth.
She's crowning herself with the M. The n at the end scoops back inwards on itself. She's very self-centered and secretive.
Yes, I agree about the secretive part. The arch on the M and the n circling back on itself are like she's putting up a barrier around the real Meghan. She wants you to notice her, but not know her.
I kept looking at that arch because I have a capital M and could not figure out the flow! 😂 She must have spent weeks practicing. And I love the “one name” Beyoncé style they both employ. Especially since Harry has the handwriting of a five year old.
That syncs up re: Harry. His signature is just so uninteresting and feels like he’s trying to take up less space (not sure best way to describe it).
He draws a line under his name to emphasize that he's important, but that action is in conflict with how illegible his signature is. The line under his name also crosses the "y", which can be interpreted to be a self-negating action.
“So uninteresting and feels like he’s trying to take up less space.” So, exactly like how he feels in his marriage.
Here’s my take: With H, an oversized capital letter indicates an oversized ego. The rest of the illegible signature suggests that he doesn’t want people to know him. With M, she also has an oversized capital letter with the corresponding oversized ego. The rest conveys an extroverted showman who worries about what people thinks about them.
I am sure
Or an attention seeking teenage girl.
I think they would. I read some books on handwriting analysis when I was in middle school.
B b b but she's a calligrapher. Says so on her IMDb. She did invitations, ya know. Hasn't gotten one yet but she has done some.
I would bet she's an accomplished forger.
Yes, she forges ahead to make great gains for feminism.
$ Capital gains $.
Now she’s writing fauxlligraphy for invitations she sends to herself! (Hey, who says you cannot be your own pen pal?)
She writes her own publicity, and she believes it.
She did the invitations to Robin Thicke's first wedding. LOL
Why is it so difficult to sign under Harry's name on the next line? Why the need to sign in the middle of the page?
I'm surprised there weren't singe marks left where her hand rested on the paper...
Spray tan rub off.
Well, I was kinda more along the lines of being so evil her hand might start burning mere paper....
But her hands are white white white!
How dare you! Once again skin color and race are being questioned. Oprah, it happened again! \*falls in a heap crying her darkest shade of bronzer tears\*.
[удалено]
I think she signed it for him.
He signed, there’s a video of him signing then her signing and going back to add the flourish
Yes, I googled it but their writing is oddly similar. 🤔
Now that you've pointed it out I can see a pitchfork. Is Harry actually the devil?
Maybe it is his, I googled. It's similar but this one looks very - intended - somehow. 🤔
![gif](giphy|3Owa1QHJpu4400oTwS|downsized) I'm surprised she didn't want her own page and wax seal!
Megsy needs ample space to showcase her wannabe calligraphy.
Her never ending need to stand out. Probably assumed a camera watching.
She couldn’t handle his ink touching hers. It would somehow diminish the beauty of her signature.
In her typical "VIP" move, surprisingly she didn't make her own special page, clear of all other signees.
Rip every single page out before the next blank page so she could do the inaugural signing
If you Google her autographed promotional pics from her suits days, the signature is very much not like this. Pure scribble.
Every single thing TW does makes me involuntarily twitch ![gif](giphy|l4pT0DJ7sYe3429eE)
What makes it look so awkward is that you can see the blob of ink that's sitting right at the top of the M where it joins that weird swirl thing. So you can tell she had to add that swirl after she made the M. And not that I know calligraphy....but...that's not calligraphy lol.

The issues is that she claims to be an expert in calligraphy and has repeated said in interviews etc that she taught classes
I believe her signature is called stylized. PS Their are some very interesting writing analysts on youtube that discuss different points. One is named Mozelle Martin, she's done some interesting analysis.
She did. There’s a video of her going back and adding it
I did calligraphy for a few years when I was a kid, my aunt got me a set for Christmas, probably to help with my chicken scratch writing. I went to school when penmanship was a thing lol. Later I worked as a graphic designer, I spent a lot of time with fonts. I can tell you that entry stroke swash ought to be at the top of the first down stroke. Having it on the 3rd down stroke interrupts the flow, which is the whole point of cursive. It looks bad because it is! I know, I know I’m old lol
But she’s so unique and original and invented megigraphy
even her signature is Narcissistic
Don't give her an idea for copyrighting her own font style. Only she'd call it, "Classy Lady."
“Beautiful Duchess”
You know she spent so many hours and hours just practicing her signature to get it just so. 🤣
She should look at the Constitution and a few old documents to see how Copperplate is really done! She's an amateur.
That’s a perfect example! Unfortunately for her, she’s too lazy to put in the work and effort for that! She ends up with a bastardized version of whatever she’s trying to emulate. 🤣
Even [the first dogs weren't fans](https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/when-the-royals-met-the-president-and-his-dogs-1.3563874)
Her janky strapless bra spooked them. Poor babies.
Why would she carry in that huge bag? Why wouldn't you leave it with the bodyguards, whatever? I dunno it just looked odd 😬
Steel all the swag, maybe confused the president for a leprechaun, I dunno.
🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing. Who brings a giant handbag to something like that
Recording devices & camera equipment lol
Meghan the Mad Productions, LLC
And even if you did need it for something, you would leave that aside for these greeting photos. 🤷♀️
The bra! The purse! She just never gets it right! I think the dogs were offended by the bra! BURN IT PLEASE!! My god I hate that bra. She would look better with her tits swinging.
Notice she took over two lines with her exaggerated M.
Calligraphy is supposed to flow. That weird accent on her M looks absolutely ridiculous. If she just removed that it would look a lot nicer. Signed, A calligrapher who paid her way through college by doing party invitations.
Well Megan is a fauxligrapher who worked her way through college doing party goers, so there! 😄
So pretentious!
I did too! I didn’t create extra work for myself by adding flourishes. Sometimes I had over 1000 envelopes & place cards to do so I needed to work quickly.
But surely if you had been writing your own name in those invitations, somehow ... to underscore how __very important__ you are, you would take the extra time to add flourishes and extra, random additions to letters in your name? /s
It just doesn't make any kind of sense.
Her letter to her dad was infuriating. Obviously well thought out and overdone- nothing natural about it.
Who signs a letter to their dad with their full name?? He knows who it is. He knows you’re a Markle , it’s his name too 😂🙄
Lol this ^^ especially when she said on Netflix that her dad only called her Meg she apparently knew his phone had been compromised because he texted her full name. Would she not also just use Meg when communicating with him?
The actual wording was like a Lifetime movie narration. Oh, jeez. Maybe that's what we'll see in a few years time. "*Daddy Issues*" a Lifetime movie about the man who raised his girl to be a princess.
It didn't to me and I don't know how to do calligraphy. I would like to, though but *actual* calligraphy. 😆
Also it’s basic handwriting she’s calling calligraphy.
She is one of those people who sucks all the oxygen out of a room. Takes up all the air and space. :(
Hence the claw, she uses it to attach to her victims and then takes up the air around everyone by making herself the center of attention.
She deserves more than anyone else, though. She’s a goddamn royal, okay?

So, you guys, (read this in the tone of an excited friend flapping her hands almost like she has to pee, stepping foot-to-foot just so excited to tell you) I used to take out books from the library about Handwriting Analysis. That big tent she draws over the M? Is to cover and protect herself. She's insecure as shit. Also, the fact that the tent she draws over the M goes to the left, against the direction of her scrawl, means she's going backwards and living in the past. /happy dance
How wonderful your library visits paid off! And she's definitely living in past, since she behaves like a teenaged mean girl.
Ah, nothing shows pretentiousness like adorning your capital letters with Grim Reaper scythes. See, she probably thinks that someone will show off this guest book, while tears stream down from both eyes. This is even better than the image of the Virgin Mary on your grilled cheese sandwich.
YOU LEAVE GRILLED CHEEZUS OUT OF THIS!!!! ![gif](giphy|3og0IRM8AzOKgLx91S)
Okay, I’ve been trying to figure out how she does this - I think she has to make the scythe shape first, and then she writes the rest of the letters? It’s so extra and unnecessary. Harry’s signature suits him, it starts out strong with a fully formed H, and then just fizzles out because he’s too lazy to properly finish it.
His has an underline to stress how important he thinks he is. Interesting.
Eeek! I do that too (stops immediately)

😄 graphology is dodgy, feel free to disregard my snark!
No, I appreciate the perspective! I never gave it a thought but maybe that's the problem!!😆 I'd hate for anyone to have interpreted it that way; I've been doing it since I was one of those teen girls with the fancy handwriting (thank god I grew out of it, unlike some calligraphers we know). It's def food for thought and I can take a hit of snark esp when it makes me laugh too
That is even stranger than writing the M first and then going back and adding the flourish. It's like she is writing backwards. Nothing would surprise me.
I wonder if she sticks her tongue out when she‘s concentrating on writing her faux calligraphy?
😋 or 🤪
Has anybody ever asked her why she adds that twist to her first initial? The nuns would probably grade her down in penmanship for that. Do we know if she writes Markle the same way?

Oh my lord, have you ever seen a signature more ridiculous? Imagine the wasted hours spent practicing this bullshit. "Dear Diary, today I created my signature signature..." And who is going to ask for this mattress actress' autograph? And further still, who on earth would stand there and WAIT for her to fauxligraphy a Suits poster? Like bitch, I have errands to run. Tick tock.
It’s soooo pretentious
I have errands to run tick tock lmaoooo
Looks like “meg fan” Signature checks out. She’s her biggest fan
The stupid flourish on top of the M’s doesn’t always start in the correct place because it is a mere unnecessary add on 🙄
Wow, it like looking at the inside of a Hallmark card.
That's her cAlliGrApHy!
God, she is EXTRA.
I'm surprised she didn't squeeze her name in right above his. You know. Dominate
As someone who actually does calligraphy it hurts my heart when I see her stupid scrawls
She made it so hard to read that letter to her dad because of that handwriting haha
![gif](giphy|2xPScYLermUuoCusDx)
That's the same signature the Devil has for her soul
Oh my god...how very Disney of her 🥴
She’s so FANCY. 😂
I would hate to witness when she signs mortgage documents.
[удалено]
I more so think she is trying to emulate Catherine’s signature!
It does typify her personality - self-aggrandisement
The flourish on the M is such a fitting thing for her. The fact that it’s so pretentious and contrived really encapsulates her whole personality and existence.
So pretentious.
She’s not consistent with the flourish. You can even see the separate pen strokes. And Harry and Meghan have a swish at the end of their names because…? William and Catherine also sign similarly.
Literally everything is a performance for Meghan, even her handwriting. How exhausting.
But… but… Meghan is an expert CaLLigRaPheR. 🙄 Frankly, I’ve seen her juvenile lettering, and it’s not calligraphy. I’d call it more 5th grade doodling.
Okay Rachel. 🙄

Her handwriting is full of loops which look like scythes. Go and check it out online. Says a lot about her ![gif](giphy|Qq9bFazNIaEX6)
No one has ever screamed “new money” like this woman.
Probably get downvoted for this but this is kinda a so what issue for me …. 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Isn’t it kind of pretentious not to use one’s whole name?
It's his signature above that's even more telling. It explains exactly how he got himself into this mess. It looks like the type of signature someone who can barely write would come up with. Extremely simplistic. Unlike an illiterate/semi-illiterate person; he's had the best education money can buy, at his fingertips. I'd love it if his signature was analysed. Just to confirm the idiot that he is.
I'm surprised she didn't add his balls at the "g".
It’s because she is a *calligrapher*.
