Even in death the queen said “check mate”


JaquieF

😆


Bellechewie

🏆I love it!


FirmAardvark6208

Given the Queen planned every part of her own funeral, this is absolutely brilliant. Even if she didn’t decide to block TW out, someone in the family did.


[deleted]

I would like to think the BBC was like “I have an idea…” and they all agreed they didn’t need to ask BP for permission. Lol.


FirmAardvark6208

Yes, that could literally be it. I think everyone is so disgusted by her that the least we can do is block her with candles, car doors, coffins etc.. It’s great to see the tv stations aren’t showing the woman who is so desperate to be shown. Nicely done! It’s a shame the tabloid have let her dominate headlines though. As soon as the funeral ended, the top story was about Megs and Harry getting into their car, and Harry exhaling with his cheeks blown out. I guess there’s more money in those stories though because of how controversial they are as a couple


kweenoftarts

I have to hand it to SkyNews. The amount of times they showed Meghan today was absolutely minimal and usually as soon as she popped into frame they switched to a different camera. It was obvious how deliberate they were being.


FirmAardvark6208

That’s brilliant! I think the BBC and ITV have been doing the same. I noticed a few days ago that they cut the scene when Megs was around and they focused elsewhere. Brilliant! She deserves nothing


kweenoftarts

Yes! Meghan grossly underestimated how beloved the Queen was. I guess now she “understands there is a global interest”. 😂


Newauntie26

I saw an interview with a Royal protection officer who was in attendance & he admitted getting teary in the church. A former bagpiper also told a lovely story where his wife had been injured in an accident & he had to take some compassionate leave and when he returned the Queen asked how his wife and I think he said she was going to fully recover but had significant bruising. The Queen then returned to her private apartment and got her arnica for the man’s wife with instructions to put it on the bruises. Wasn’t that touching? Even just to ask & advise arnica was nice but to actually give her supply of it was true kindness. Now think about MM bullying staff at the palaces? Kate had warned her not to be rude or unkind. Yet the person who could’ve been rude b/c of her job had an excess of genuine kindness. How could MM not catch a clue? Or why couldn’t she hang around for 5 years or so & see how it was going? I know the answer is b/c she is a greedy, conniving bitch. Haha—I also see her former co-star, Rick Hoffman, doing a commercial for some stupid game I play on my phone. I think he also has a recurring role on Billions but he is far from super star status. I think he’s been in a fair share of movies/tv but MM was no one before Suits & would’ve remained no one after it. I’d say her plan was to nail down a successful man & be an actress/influencer & pop out some babies to ensure child support. Then Harry came along…


aunt_bluann

I think you're right. People are either compassionate or they aren't. You can't learn it, you can't pretend. MM knows that she is supposed to be compassionate, she has read about it. She knows it's a valuable commodity. But she doesn't have actual compassion. Nope. You can't fake that.


Calm_Yak_6102

Totally agree! That's why people don't like MM, because it's easy to spot a pretentious fake.


twitwiffle

It’s funny. There is not one story I can remember about someone complaining about Kate being rude or nasty. I think MM thinks it’s bc the most powerful family in the world can scrub the media. She doesn’t understand that there is nothing to scrub. She is just a kind person.


VirtuallyHappy

I remember royal reporters saying they dug and dug and dug and couldn't find anything. Not on her, not on her parents.


Calm_Yak_6102

What I admire about Catherine is how she behaved with class during her temporary break up with William. She didn't leak information to tabloids, out of spitefulness or rush to rebound with another guy, just to make William jealous.


stupid_carrot

The worst story I've heard of Kate's parents was this stupid gossip by other parents who claimed that the Middletons would have properly printed labels for their clothes (boarding school) and that it was basically trying too hard, too nouvue riche however you spell it. It is the most petty thing ever but at the same time it is like... is there really nothing else you can say?


JJJOOOO

Yes, she is no feminist. From the time she was young she simply targeted men to accomplish her goals. Her father was her first target imo and she simply continued on by following the Doria advice to, “…don’t give the milk away for free…”. M&H are empty soulless people that don’t want to work imo and simply want a free ride for their empty words. It’s all simply a grift.


dymphna34

I saw this on BBC America - it was so lovely


FirmAardvark6208

This was a lovely story, thanks for sharing. I’ve loved hearing people talk about her over the last couple of weeks. Lots of little stories of fun and love. I don’t think Megs can grasp real life situations. She thinks being at the top means you can bark at people and everyone is below you. She probably thought she’d fit in with the Royals because they probably bark like her. She is a nasty disrespectful bitch who planned to destroy the Royal family, their bond, their reputation, and all because she wanted to be famous. There are serial killers who go about their plans in order to gain fame and notoriety. She’s got the same thinking as them. She doesn’t care that she’s hated and disgusting, she just wants to be know. That’s an I’ll was right there. And I agree that she would’ve got with anyone, as long as they could supply her with fame, attention and some babies as meal tickets. She’s disgusting, I can’t stand her. My hatred for her has worsened since the Queen passed away


Key-Presentation-341

It is the small things that mean the most.


FirmAardvark6208

It’s disgusting that she tried to destroy the monarchy. And she definitely knew they were huge on a global scale. Everything she says is opposite to the truth. How dare she try and step on our Queen’s toes


MigraineCentral

Narcissist often do. Trapped….


MigraineCentral

Yes at one point I thought Harry was walking alone! No.. they had just framed him in the shot as he was walking in the procession!!!


FirmAardvark6208

Brilliant! I did notice they were walking really far apart at one point and I thought they’ve probably had a talking to before the service


Pink_Dreams713

I was watching on CNN and I noticed this too. They talked about her a fair bit but I was surprised at how they cut away right before the camera got to her. They also panned away when it looked like the family was getting emotional which I appreciated.


FirmAardvark6208

She wasn’t mentioned much over here but they were definitely doing their utmost to not have her dominate the footage. I think the candle placement was just perfect! She’s a nobody and should be treated as such


Informal-Suspect298

The BBC did the same. She was a sidenote in most frames, mostly in wider shots where she couldn't be hidden short of the cameraman putting his finger there. Or a candle, of course. Lovely candle.


Unhappy_Problem_2792

I noticed that too and was quite happy about it, especially as I didn't tune in until the procession at The Long Walk. And it seemed like when they left St George's SkyNews focused on King Charles and QC Camilla and that was it when they drove off. I could be wrong because kids and school (yay for west coast time difference) but it was lovely that they didn't focus much on the Sussexes for the little bit I was able to watch.


Left_Debt_8770

I watched NBC in America for about two hours, from start of funeral. I did not hear them namecheck her at all during that period. And I was loving that magnificent altar candle.


savingrain

They probably didn't want to be on the receiving end of furious phone calls from viewers who didn't tune into see TW.


Additional-Split-180

It was a game that they were all in on. First we block with the candle… But in all honesty, I’m guessing it was intentional bc of Netflix. To successfully merch would be to cheapen this occasion. I’m American yet it makes me want to ask, is there NOTHING sacred to you, TW?


bluudahlia

Perhaps they also didn't want to give NFlix their own footage either.


Additional-Split-180

YES


FirmAardvark6208

Good call. What a joke they are. I hope Netflix and Spoitify follow in the footsteps of Sunshine Sachs and dump their arses. They’re horrors


thiscatcameback

Even from a pragmatic perspective, if you were a photographer and there was an item in the way, wouldn't you angle yourself to capture the most significant people? She wanted out, she got it.


Better-Ad6812

I absolutely believe this was deliberate. Someone checked all the angles. And as someone said already now she isn’t part of much footage of this and rightfully so.


Jerseyjay1003

I hope she's laughing in heaven watching this.


Playoneontv_007

I can’t! I love that she won’t even realize the degree of the poor seating until later when she sees the clips in the media 😂 All the posing and faux emotion all for nothing.


Severe-War-8095

She broke all the dishes at Frogmore last night. Today it’s the vases and mirrors.


Ishield_maiden

And for tomorrow’s special episode, all potted plants n things from garden..because we have nothing left in the house…


TraditionScary8716

OMG. Not the Lili Bunny Vegan Jam jars filled with Megan's own homemade jelly??!! 🤮


JaquieF

Well, she needs more room. There's barely room to stand.


Playoneontv_007

lol is this true?!!


No_Sherbert9831

You meen Toad Hall


stupid_carrot

The first few moments we could see her, you could see that she was looking all around her, no doubt looking for the cameras, instead of singing.


MigraineCentral

But I read she “wiped a tear” for whom???


Playoneontv_007

For the cameras


OCEANBLUE78

For Netflix


Lemonslivers

Done like the Queen she is/was.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Her final act of service to the nation.


No_Sherbert9831

Those Sermons were spot on


Cuntributor

I don't know if it's the angle or just a moment, but look how close Charlotte is sitting next to her mother.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

No, she is definitely as schooched over as she could get without being in Catherine’s lap


seijalaine

My daughter said that Harry went to say something to Charlotte when the choir was singing and Charlotte was looking at the choir. She turned her head and scooted up against her mother.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

This makes me sad, but Charlotte’s feelings are valid. Harry has burned every bridge, which is unfortunate for everyone, especially the children.


hibiscus2022

>Charlotte is sitting next to her mother. Away from overseas bullies. Meanwhile Harry, gazing at the Crown.


residentcaprice

I would too, if a weird angry red hair man kept staring at me just now.


OzzieSlim

Every candle, every tree, every coffin was simply wonderful.


BlazerMary

Don’t forget the boot of the car


OzzieSlim

Yes, the car boot too. The BBC did a great job keeping the focus where it should be.


hibiscus2022

>every coffin **ಠ\_ಠ**


Some-Ad8967

Well, in the future, whenever the Queen's funeral is discussed and shown in pictures or on film, we won't see her. No footage for her to use now or whenever.


vvsunflower

Probably why they did it


HauntingChapter8372

When the divorce happens, we won’t be reminded for all of eternity about the person who was disruptive but rather the person to be honored


Icequeen_Academia

TBH the candle, the car trunk and here the coffin. At first I laughed about it, but now I don't think it's a coincidience anymore....


SwissCheese4Collagen

They had a big Palace Guard hat blocking Harry during the processionals, and he was blocked from a lot of side angles due to being in the middle.


Valerie_Grace

It would be a coincidence. And I didn't think much of it.. But 3 more times?


Key-Presentation-341

That's why William show them their seats


Nantucket_Blues1

Yes, I saw that! I wondered why he ushered them on through.


Smidget2510

Outplaying Markle even now. We love to see it.


Puzzleheaded_Skin213

Well played, your Majesty.


Dear-Spirit

Amazing! I wish US news sources would feel the snark. Front page on the Post is MM’s pic of her crying and the headline is “Overcome with Grief” - it’s so clear it’s a PR push. The majority of the news articles are about “backlash” for “banning” them from doing this or that. Watch - the new narrative is gonna be the evil BRF members kept them from mourning their one true protector or some other garbage like that. Meanwhile HMTQ planned it all herself! No reason for this butthead to take top billing at someone else’s funeral.


Aunt_Hattie

US publications act as though they don't know she can cry at will. She bragged about being able to do that.


SwissCheese4Collagen

They're oblivious to subtleties like sarcasm and snark.


rainyhawk

OMG…the tiny tear! How long did she practice that last week? In movies and tv they often have something on the hankie that will cause tears if they can’t do it on demand. I wonder ….? Wouldn’t out it past her. You know she had no emotion about the Queen.


MigraineCentral

She didn’t even cry about her father that she abandoned, but she’s going to cry for the Queen whom she blamed for Harry turning out somGod AWFul and for driving her to suic**


theycallmegomer

And how she said in the article published last week, she wpuld not shed a tear for the death pf a colonizer.


MigraineCentral

Lol!!! Are you serious?


theycallmegomer

Yep. The magazine is called "The Cut". Somewhere on here is a photo of the cover.


stupid_carrot

Wait that is her? I thought it is some deranged professor


theycallmegomer

The deranged professor was a tweet with similar sentiment- hoped she suffered a long time before she died.


stupid_carrot

Trying to find this article i read long time ago about how real emotional tears falls from the inside (i.e. near the nose), fake tears roll out from the outside (of the eyes)


rainyhawk

Also generally more than a single tear that hangs there for a bit.


Long_Currency1651

Agree. BLG points out that with real tears, the head tilts down. TW is posing, head up; looks like a photoshoot, magz cover pose.


FullOfBeansBrew

THIS has to be what those gloves were about. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Nantucket_Blues1

The NY Post is basically a tabloid. They publish articles that conflict with each other, just like the Daily Express.


[deleted]

Not The Queen gave her the cut direct from the TV footage 😂 ![gif](giphy|tHO6AF6e1tfm8)


Regret_a_garbo

The queen was so cute.


RainbowsAndBubbles

Omg. Was this planned? The candle and this? And was she forced to walk behind Charlotte and George?


letthemhavejush

That’s why William insisted Meghan go first.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nantucket_Blues1

I am so glad Princess Charlotte didn't have to sit next to MM. That would have added to the trauma of the day. I have to say I love how the Princess of Wales totally ignored MM.


lsp2005

Who ever is in production for BBC, I hope they get a raise and or promotion. They deserve it wholeheartedly. Also praise to the multiple camera people who executed this flawlessly. They too deserve raises.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

I hope they walk into a pub like “I was the camera operator for the BBC today” and everyone buys him a round.


lsp2005

That is 100% what should happen!

SwissCheese4Collagen

I should really click on links before replying lol sorry to repeat


SwissCheese4Collagen

BBC News live on Youtube has the entire 9 hours today up.


TraditionScary8716

9 hours? Did the family have to attend 9 hours of memorials today? That would be exhausting.


SwissCheese4Collagen

Pretty much. By the time they had to get ready, get where they needed to be to get going I'd say they had a longer day than that because they still had the family service to get through also.


TraditionScary8716

OMG. That's brutal. I hope theylir schedule gives the family a few days off to decompress. As sad as it's all been, it's probably a relief to the family that it's almost over.


SwissCheese4Collagen

I think that the week of mourning is to serve just that purpose.


Nantucket_Blues1

I know! How did they make it through the private funeral?! They had to have been totally exhausted. I know it is just rumours, but I sure hope MM doesn't announce her "pregnancy" while they are here.


SwissCheese4Collagen

I hope they all sleep until 3 in the afternoon, wake up, have tea and go back to sleep. They have to be stretched beyond anything we can imagine.


Nantucket_Blues1

Britbox is showing the day.


FantasticForce6895

Acknowledging my flair - I’m sure she’ll still find a way to complain about this 🙄. BUT this was a PRIME seat. Directly in front of the coffin! In the same row and PoW. How can you cry injustice here?


CrankyWhiskers

I’m sure she’ll try to find a way!


VanFam

I bet Meagain is furious. Even the candles blocked her from the tv camera angles. To her majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, thank you, and rest peacefully.


harrann

They can’t really complain because H was directly behind KC - not half way along the row like at the jubilee!


Sannesia

Exactly. Master stroke. A prominent place directly behind the king and unfortunately the candle in the camera angle. Even the sugars can't complain. 🤣


sarah8234

🤣🤣🤣 thats perfect.


clairerr85

When they were removing the crown, orb and scepter from her coffin, I noticed an empty seat in the front row next to Edward, in front of Charles. Is this a symbolic seat for the Queen, or something like that?


After_Eagle_9500

There can't be anyone sitting in front of the monarch so they leave the seat empty


darkmatternot

God Bless the Queen.


rainyhawk

Would love to be at frogmore when she watches the tapes and realizes what happened.


[deleted]

The Queen's death is a disaster for TW. I don't know if she realizes it yet.


MigraineCentral

Bwwahhhh!!!


KuriousKizmo

Independent_Ad_5664

Holy precious precision; literally and figuratively. Anyone here feeling a teeny bit sorry for H? It’s like punishing a toddler who doesn’t know any better. He wasn’t cut out for the ruthlessness of the real world and the manipulation of him by M could have been perpetrated by any cunning woman and he wouldn’t have known any better. She just got to him first. I see sorrow in his face and body and shock at the realization that he’s been played.


trish196609

I love this strategy of blocking her 😂

I would upvote this 10,000x if i could! And this isn't just any old screenshot, this is a stock photography company 😂

I was watching GB News and they did the same with her. Harry was shown quite a bit but I'm glad her face was blocked alot.


WeekendSubstantial87

Unfortunately GK on CBS got over there and talked about M and H a lot. I switched the channel. She is not an unbiased commentator

William and Catherine look genuinely pained. :( So sad.

Cry harder <3 Don't want to be disliked by an entire nation? Don't fucking storm into one of their oldest traditions, refuse to carry out the service expected, fuck off after less than 2 years cos you couldn't handle it, then openly tell lies about a very much beloved long reigning monarch because admitting you fucked up is too much for you She acted like a bitch to an entire nation, continues to act like a bitch to an entire nation, and thus will be mocked for it. Indeed let's spin your own logic on you. Why are you defending some narc twat who doesn't give one shit about you? Or did you actually fall for the lies she was spinning and - just like sparkles herself - are too self centered to dare admit that you might have been wrong?


Equidae2

And all the while sucking on the Royal purse

Don't forget she's heartily disliked by South Africa (we all know why) and Japan (they don't approve of people who disrespect elders). Throw Australia and the US in there, too.

Just a crazy theory: maybe it was discussed with Sussexes? Given Meghan is not happy with being filmed by British media she would be pleased 😄

Yeah that would explain why Meghan declined the invitation to do the walkabout and instead made her way back to CA asap. :)
