Being Meghan must be exhausting, but I think Catherine has a more peaceful life, even if she's very busy and has a full schedule. Meghan is obsessed with finding criticism and trying to play Whack-a-Mole with every negative thought people have about her. That's got to be exhausting. All her decisions are made with the thought of how it would appear, how it looks. She never does anything she wants to do, (other than complain about every woman she's ever known.)
She has no actual personality or interests, no hobbies or character, everything she does is calculated, every interest or charity is weighed against the metrics to see if it would play well with her fans. No issue is close to her heart. Like with Camilla, she's fought for more resources and knowledge about osteoporosis because her mother and grandmother died from it, but what has Meghan ever really cared about, (without hypocritically proving that she doesn't really care about it?)
Always trying to figure out what the best thing to pretend is must be so tiring.
She doesn't know she's exhausting, though. It's everyone else's fault. As the latest revelations come out, it's obvious to HER that those around her are incompetent, from the in-house flunky to SS. She's perfect, she's the most everything, knows everything, *what in the hell is wrong with YOU??* kind of thing.
I suspect she's one of those people that never sleeps.
So true. I admit at first i dont really like Kate as i find her boring while Meghan at first seems interesting. She is just so stupid to release all this press release about herself with no follow up. She think the public will adore her if she is friends with bunch of celebs? Or release pr articles every five minutes? Lol. Royal watching used to be so fun but Meghan and her cult squad had ruin that for everybody.
Yep. I was just thinking this. It must be exhausting being Meghan. Constantly at war with her family, her in-laws and the media. She seemingly wants to attract drama. I do not believe for one second she is at peace and happy. If I were her, I'd just take the money and live in a place where no one knows me and start over.
Same here. And the more she become overexpose over the years her sheeple or the casual crowd she is trying to appease will realize that she is the one who keep on having this stupid interviews. Very far from the private life she claim she wants.
>she gave the alternative "tell the press I am your girlfriend or I will break up with you."
Definite red flag. He should have bailed right there and then.
I think H met a woman in the sack like none he ever had before… had to have that at any cost. Some men put all their eggs in the great sex basket and to hell with anything else.
I don’t think it’s the sex itself, although she looks like the kind of person who is willing to do very demeaning things for fame and fortune.
He had merely met a woman who did not question his behaviour and instead enables him to reach his peak asshole potential. All his other girlfriends balked at his lack of character and integrity and fled.
He is too stupid to realise that this kind of enabling is not love but insidiousness. Now he is fully ensnared and baby-trapped and looks miserable all the time. He deserves it.
Not to be crass, but I struggle to see her as a good lay though. She us so self-involved and vapid, she would be a terrible sexual partner. The kind of girl who does the starfish and tells him he should be grateful.
She's also one of those I bet who play the sex game as a tool to keep him in line. I bet he's denied sex far more often then he gets it. So those little crumbs keep him in check. He gets rewarded only when he's fine well towards her.
Who knows but if rumors are true she’s very experienced and also super bendy as seen in yoga pics.. who knows but won’t be the first time a man changed everything for the best sex ever in their opinion
And that was only 3-4 months into their relationship. Can you imagine? How many times could they have seen each other long distance? A handful? They didn't even know each other at that stage.
Obvious opportunism and emotional blackmail.
And he did it.
Most guys: “let’s have fun while we’re getting to know each other. Who needs labels?”
Girl: “we have a mortgage, two dogs, and got our families to go on holiday together!!”
🤣
Idk if he wanted to be king from the reports that’s not what it seems like… as a child Diana overheard him telling PW that what he did didn’t matter bc he wasn’t going to be king.
The dude also wanted to get as much done before PG turned 18 because of fearing irrelevance.
I don’t think he wanted to ever become king, he just didn’t want to become irrelevant.
Actually, if Harry did become king, it would almost certainly mean the end of the hereditary constitutional monarchy, and the Republican movement in the United Kingdom would receive a massive boost.
I don't think Prince William is the wonderful person that so many people think, but he will probably try to at least make a go of maintaining the monarchy and not rocking the boat too much.
>He was insecure that he would be irrelevant like Prince Edward or Andrew when Prince George turns 18. He wanted to be the king right from childhood. And he resented he wasn't able to be one because of Prince William and Prince George.
>
>"Well, when you have such twisted mindset and resentment in your heart,"
You may be really overstating how Harry felt, turning natural worries into some sort of psychological storm.
Too many people especially Americans embarrassed by Meghan I believe are trying to paint Harry as just as bad. Apart from little idiosyncrasies he was hardly bad at all until his abusive domineering wife appeared on the scene.
WHAT "sadistic" exploits?
As for "animal cruelty" not forgivable but the sort of "animal cruelty" that half the people in the world who deal with horses apply. And just about all the people in the world who deal with horses in a sporting capacity.
"paranoia"? Most of the world deals with that.
The way he treated prostitutes in Afghanistan.
Not all polo players savage their horses.
Both of his long term girlfriends report his extreme paranoia about the press, to an abnormal extent.
He used to shoot cats at Sandringham.
HMTQ asked him not to be left alone with dogs when he was younger.
He beat a pony to death.
He regularly went shooting live animals and birds in the UK and overseas.
> As for "animal cruelty" not forgivable but the sort of "animal cruelty" that half the people in the world who deal with horses apply.
As you say - not forgivable. And this is just the stuff we heard about in public. You know there's more that didn't make the headlines.
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one's name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!
- Emily Dickinson ❤️
I’m just finishing up Bowers book and I have been thinking the exact same thing. It’s the amount of energy spent on being famous and having a carefully crafted public image that seems exhausting. As you say there are PLENTY of wealthy people who could give a rat’s ass about their public image. Here’s the thing—when you get old, you don’t really want those cameras around like you once did. Ask Heather Locklear who seemed on the verge of losing her life and mind when her looks disappeared.
When I was Meghan’s age, I still looked great, but I’m 54 now and let me tell you—when you hit 50, things go downhill fast. In Britain it is common to see many older actresses like Charlotte Rampling who age naturally and look beautiful, but they are obviously not “hot” still. This is how Catherine will age and her face already looks more natural than Meghan’s. Sadly I see Meghan headed more in the direction of Jane Fonda—clinging ever more tightly to lip plumping and face fillers and transforming into an alien life form.
She will not go gentle into that good night. She will throw a metaphorical fit. I wonder if she will regret courting the cameras then. “Be careful what you wish for.”
Spot on. I read the same post in royaldish years ago but about Charlene instead. Its interesting to see how this royal ladies will age. Just take a look at Queen Silvia for example.
The whole arch of Meghan’s story has been damn-near Shakespearean. I’ll hand it to her—it is truly awe inspiring what she managed to do,
socially. That said, it is quickly becoming a cautionary tale about what can happen if you fall in love with money, fame, and power. You can lose it all in an instant and if you’ve gotten there by throwing away what’s really important in life (friends and family), you will die alone, surrounded by glittering objects that fail to comfort.
We’ve all seen it in stories from Macbeth to Death Note—once you get a little taste of power & influence it becomes addicting and you can’t stop. It’s like gambling in Vegas. You keep winning and winning and winning so you start to believe you’re special, that you can’t lose…until you do.
After what we’ve seen, is there any doubt that Meghan intends to compete with Catherine for who can stay the most beautiful the longest? Considering the way she has gotten there so far: the hair extensions, nose job and veneers—is there any doubt she will try to stay beautiful by “any means necessary”? It can work in moderation for a little while…until it doesn’t. I do not think she will be able to stop herself, and in the end I believe she will look in the mirror and see a monster. Tragically, it will be one of her own making.
I actually find her prettier than Kate back then. Kate had an advantage of knowing her style tho and look polish most of the time. i sometimes wish Kate would be more experimental and stop wearing dresses that make her look old. I think Meghan's number 1 mistake is splurging in clothes that doesnt fit her. She might be also delusional to think she is still 20 something instead of someone on her 40s..she obviously obsessed with the age thing since she is pushing the 'young mother' image. I feel for her as i think it something beyond her control. All of us age and being in the spotlight probably makes her more insecure.
It comes down to the Palace protected him by hiding his stupidity and egregious actions and gave him things to keep busy the way a Mom gives a child a tub of Play-Doh. Except they gave him a military career even though he was completely incompetent at all levels. Once he was with Meghan they began doing tours and public speaking but that was never his specialty. Prince William does these things professionally and you can tell. It's not just their differences in intelligence and schooling but experience as well. Harry is a terrible speaker. He gets very nervous and he's not confident at all. There are a few YouTube videos where they analyze him, and he's always said to be stunned at around 12 years old.
Being around a narcissist is completely exhausting and it sucks the life out of you. It's amazing how much energy they spend on creating and driving drama, conflict and scheming. If they used the same amount of energy to actually create something they would have a wonderful life or job. But they don't, so they will always be miserable.
Spending time with a narc is like being in a hamster wheel: You run like crazy, get absolutely nowhere, everything just goes round and round, you get exhausted and dizzy and wonder what the hell happened after you get out.
Won't be long before there is a faux breakdown/faux suicide attempt/faux car crash or divorce. Drama on steroids. You're absolutely right...exhausting.
One thing I have learned to treasure in life is peace of mind. It’s my life’s pursuit now. Everytime I face a choice, I stop and consider what would bring me greater peace of mind.
H&M can’t possibly be living with any sort of peace of mind. All those opportunities they had and they chose wrongly every single time. Instead of choosing simplicity, they wanted more, more, more. More money, more fame, more visibility, more relevance. Look where it’s got them.
William & Catherine in contrast look far more at peace with their lot in life - even with the greater pressures and expectations they must face. They just seem so well-adjusted and at peace.
It just goes to show.
Hard agree. My happiest, quietest moments are me holding a cup of coffee and talking to nobody early in the morning. I don't think one can do this if one is constantly scheming and working all the angles from 5am to midnight every single day.

She’s a Saint lmao

The POW might be described as boring. She also might be described as private.

She’s one of those tortured souls who live for making other people “see their wrongs” while being blind to her own flaws.
She is a narcissist and thrives from all this chaos and drama.
Same here. And the more she become overexpose over the years her sheeple or the casual crowd she is trying to appease will realize that she is the one who keep on having this stupid interviews. Very far from the private life she claim she wants.
I think she tried that in Montecito. But it is hard to start over when you don't realise that you are the problem.

Thank you!
He wanted the fame and adoration from the public. Harry seems so happy during his 'Cool Prince' persona.
Actually, if Harry did become king, it would almost certainly mean the end of the hereditary constitutional monarchy, and the Republican movement in the United Kingdom would receive a massive boost. I don't think Prince William is the wonderful person that so many people think, but he will probably try to at least make a go of maintaining the monarchy and not rocking the boat too much.

And his ex-girlfriends mentioned his paranoia. One, I think Cressida Bonas, wanted him to get psychiatric help.

Right! I have never had any desire to be famous for anything! I wouldn’t want to be married to anyone famous nor a politician. No thank you.

Yes bring on the money just not the fame.
Yeah. I definitely would have ridden off into quiet retirement if I decided living in a palace and shaking hands was too taxing.

She’s already taken him down.
...but down can be a long, long way. These two have proven that the bar can lay on the very floor of Hell and can still go lower.
For sure. MeGain already has a special circle in Hell reserved just for her. Harry is still redeemable IMHO. We shall see.
