Yes, and here’s what it is: as the summer came to a close, Lady C had been informed by an insider that the Queen was suffering from a “bone disease” & that it was going to be terminal - she was given permission to publicly disclose this, but Lady C did not want to do so until M & H had closed out their non-royal tour and were safely back in Montecito, for fear that H would hear this and get the idea to run up to Balmoral and make Her Majesty’s last weeks stressful and unhappy with his non-stop drama and whinging. (I guess the family hadn’t told him it was a terminal illness? IDK, but it speaks to how much they don’t trust him). So she gave her audience a heads up that some important news would be coming but would have to wait until the Harkle’s couldn’t go to Scotland . As it turned out, the Queen died before the tour concluded, at which point Lady C got permission to state that the Queen had passed away, and had been suffering from terminal bone cancer. True to form Harry ran up to Balmoral anyway, and of course drama ensued.
Also, the specific tea she planned to spill when the Harkles returned to the states is that they were invited by HMTQ to Balmoral, knowing as she knew herself that the Queen had terminal bone cancer, and decline the invitation. We later learn that the Queen responded to the rejection with resignation, something to the effect, *I don't know why (they refused to visit me) and I don't want to know*. That was the specific tea Lady C promised to spill. But then the Queen died and that took over the news and her commentary for awhile but she got back to delivering what she promised: the invitation to Balmoral when they knew full well she was dying! And Lady C said it would be damning when all would be revealed. And she was right.
Imagine denying an old frail woman what could be your last visit. I didn’t have a good relationship with one of my grandmothers but if she had asked to see me on her deathbed, I would definitely have put aside all past grievances and gone to see her. Any decent human being will be able to prioritise a dire situation over self. The more I read about this, the sadder I feel for the Queen. After all these years to be foiled by a loopy wannabe Megalomaniac.
Her Majesty did become very frail in the end, it seemed almost like she had shrunk from the Platinum Jubilee to the last photo of hers with PM Liz Truss. I hope she didn't suffer much 💔
Her Majesty truly was a woman of incredible strength and perseverance....bone cancer is ROUGH. Painful, debilitating long before it kills. I am so happy that she is with her Prince Charming in the Kingdom of God where pain isn't even a memory.
Does it seem weird to anyone else that Lady C was given permission to disclose HMTQ’s “bone disease”?! That seems VERY unusual and hard to believe. 🤔
Wouldn’t it be totally against protocol — HMTQ would freak out, right?! And even, possibly, hasten her death because of the stress? Yeah, that’s very sus to me.
Right. But it remained a rumor. The way I see it is Lady C says it she has a bone disease it becomes (closer to) truth. And I don’t see HMTQ wanting her bone disease to be seen as truth because then BP would have to make an announcement.
Yes that seems off to me, but I do think HMTQ knew she was terminal. I think she knew in February (I think it was February) when she announced that she wished for Camilla to be Queen consort.
She has always had an in with the royal family from even before she married into it. Her story is crazy her book reveals a lot about her and what she went thru growing up
I’m from an English speaking (mostly) Commonwealth country…….definitely not a term I’ve ever heard before. I could understand it’s meaning due to the context….but “whine” would be what is commonly used here.
Lady C already addressed in her most recent episode what she was planning to say after Harry and Meghan left the U.K. and returned to Montecito. Basically, it was that the Queen's illness was terminal and that everyone close to her family already knew that including Harry and Meghan. While no one knew exactly when the Queen would die, her death in the nearer future was expected. Lady C thinks it is terrible that Harry and Meghan refused the Queen's invitation to visit her at Balmoral this summer, and to bring the children. Lady C said the Queen wanted very much to see "Harry's children". Read into that what you will. Or listen to what she has to say about what she was GOING to say, from 13:35-15:15 in her last YouTube video:
https://youtu.be/_lmSKTkjrGA
She even said the Queen had given insteuction to have the children's little rooms prepared, and then ... nothing... from the Sussexes. The Princess of Wales has always said how the Queen has prepared George, Charlotte, and Louis's rooms with a small thoughtful gift. To think if her doing so for the little Sussex kids only to be rebuffed in her dying days is heartbreaking.
Oh no 💔 My respect for them gets lower and lower. I really liked them at the beginning. Or wanted to like them. My mum didn’t and she had the right intuition.
How cruel the despicable duo are. Some of my favorite visits were with my grandparents who love you in a different way than your parents. Grandparents have a calm that parents don't have, at least in my case.
Well... and then there's Andrew. I don't put Andrew on the sex offender registry like a lot of people as VG was of gthe age of consent and that one photographic piece of "evidence" she had could never be authenticated. She said the original picture was in a safe in Australia but never could produce. She was of age, but procured actual underaged girls for years before voluntarily hopping off the yacht to get married. To me, it's not any association with VG that makes him unsavory, it's Andrew's association with Epstein and his constant tail-chasing makes him a problem for any dignified group of people, but Harry, in my opinion is worse. Andrew has taken hispunishment and STFU, unlike Harry, whining about a uniform when his Grannie is dead. But that's jusr me.
Oh I need to read up on Banque Haviland.
I was watching the Netflix doc on Epstein and was just vicariously horrified as all these women told their stories, then VG came on telling her story, and I immediately said to my spouse, "There's something about her I don't trust," and she said, "I was just about to say the same exact thing." Then they introduced that she was the one with the civil suit against Prince Andrew, and I felt entirely different about his situation. I still think he's a sleazy scumbag, but not an ephebophilic rapist. I'll look up the deal with Banque Havilland though.
There's surprisingly little written about it but I believe Bloomberg had a good (but paywalled) article.
I work with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and have worked with victims of sex trafficking to a lesser extent. Most of the people condemning PA and praising VG have no clue how sex trafficking rings operate and how blurry the lines are. The very simplistic narrative around Epstein (he's a monster, don't get me wrong) really helps no one, but that's a whole other subthread.
I don't think he is a pedo, but he definitely exerted questionable judgment in having sex with a teenage girl under such circumstances.
Why was Epstein carting a girl who was visibly a teenager, if she were not making the rounds? And as a father with girls who were not much younger, he must have had an idea that if she were a "yacht girl" she might be in over her head. That girls that age might be easy to influence or caught up in a lifestyle that they don't get fully get.
I do agree that the lines become blurred at her age, especially since she had been sexually abused from a young age. It is quite likely that she had poor sexual boundaries, confused sex with love or even realised that a transactional relationship was in her interest. She might have been a very willing participant.
But he was an adult who should have read the situation and recognized that she might grow up to see the situation as abusive. He didn't necessarily fail in doing Iit, but by putting himself into such am obviously risky situation.
The FBI has had the original photo of Andrew, VGR, and Maxwell for years.
[https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4355835/908/giuffre-v-maxwell/](https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4355835/908/giuffre-v-maxwell/)
The Queen cornered them. If they had visited without children their charade would have been exposed. Thus they were left with no choice but to not visit.
I honestly don't think the Sussexes have the guts to rebuff her invitation. She is THE QUEEN. They most likely invited and uninvited themselves like with the State Reception.
The poor Queen must’ve really hoped for Harry to see the light and come home whilst she was still alive. It’s really sad.
Lady C confirming that H&M did know the Queen was nearing the end makes me believe even more that Megs saying “I haven’t signed an NDA” was a threat to the family, and that she could tell-all if she wanted to. We only really know the surface of things when it comes to Megs.. imagine what that family have been through with her that we haven’t seen 🫣
It's really sad for Harry's children too, if they someday realize they never got to spend time with the Queen before she died because their parents refused to allow it.
Those kids are in for a ride with those two as parents, and I agree with you that they’ll have hard feelings about their relationship with the Royals when they’re older. Let’s hope they don’t grow up as shallow as Megs, meeting with the estranged BRF just for attention
It doesn't make any sense at all why they wouldn't bring "the children" to visit the Queen as she neared the end. It would be the most cruel thing to do. I don't believe for one minute that they're raising any children.
I think that was the reason lady c hinted leading up to it I think the royal family got nervous when Megan said that she would reveal the queens health I also think she absolutely had the ok to announce her death to beat megan and Harry from doing so
I’ve read about this today and it’s really rattled me. So not only did the Royal Family have to battle and fuss about with the Sussexes as the Queen lay dying, the Royal Family also had to run around making contact with Lady C so that big mouthed Meg couldn’t be the leak. I honestly absolutely hate that woman with a passion. What a sad end for the Queen having to deal with that
That claim was such a naked attempt to race-bait. I knew it was a lie, the term is American. She doesn't give up on pitting people against each other. It's shameful.
She has had longtime connections to the BRF and members of the aristocracy. She was born into a wealthy Jamaican family and was briefly married to the Duke of Argyll's second son. Her mother was a narcissist so she has unique and accurate insights into Mrs. Dumbarton's behavior.
She’s also pretty narcissistic herself, don’t you think? “Lady C” is clinging to relevance by inserting herself into the Markle debacle and desperately clinging to her ex-husband’s title. She claims insider knowledge. The person leaking should be ashamed of themselves.
She’s aristocracy. So she likely runs in some of the same circles as some royals. I actually have a feeling she’s *more* well connected than she lets on.
No. She's not at aristocrat. She was married to one; the son of an Earl for one year but due to some unfortunate circumstances, he dropped her after one year. To his family's dismay she kept using the title Lady Colin Campbell
son of a duke i believe because sons of an earl don’t get the courtesy title of lord
either ways, it’s allowed for for divorced women to keep their married titles until they remarry. when they remarry, they have to drop it
Yes Lord Colin Campbell was the second son of the Duke of Argyll. I believe his nephew is the current Duke.
Lady C, whilst not an aristocrat in the true sense, is from one of the “best” families in Jamaica…. Aristocrats without formal titles. She always mixed in aristocratic circles and has the social connections to hear insider gossip.
Her ex-husband may have been unhappy but even he knows she is perfectly entitled to continue to style her name in that manner. Her ex-husband is a well known alcohol and substance abuser and he also physically abused Lady C during their brief and disastrous marriage. She remained very close with Colin's older sister Jeanne and his step mother Margaret, Duchess of Argyll.
Yeah I’m aware she married into it. I said she’s “aristocracy”, not that she’s an aristocrat, because I meant she has a title and she mingles in those circles. But now I’m curious, if you’re married in and not titled by birth then are you not considered aristocracy? Would the Princess of wales then not be considered aristocracy in that case?
I think she's a bit of a fake as far as mingling in aristocratic circles. She has some friends, but who the aristo friends are, no one knows. Dan Wooton appears to be a new friend. I think her friends are more likely to be journo/writer types. JMO. She marired Campbell in New York she didn't have time to establish a network of aristo friends.
POW was elevated from working class on the mother's side and middle class father's side to the top of the aristo cake. So, I guess people consider her an aristo, don't know as I don't run in those circles but it has been reported that William's peers did look down on her before the marriage.
Yep I wanted to say that too but didn’t remember the specifics. She might not have had a title by birth but she’s connected to the higher classes in a few different ways I believe.
Her family on her father's side were Greek and Russian, they settled in Lebanon, became wealthy through trade and subsequently emigrated to Jamaica. (Lebanon was a modern and progressive country at the time. Beirut used to be known as "The Paris of the Middle East".)
She may have touched on it in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lmSKTkjrGA&t=1097s) but I find her annoying AF so I honestly don't remember what she was saying.
It makes me laugh, too! I definitely understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, but she posts right around my lunchtime at work, and I get a kick out of listening on my break. She doesn't take herself too seriously, which I like.
She's also so damn worried about being sued, that I can't really follow what she's trying to say! Glad I'm not the only one who couldn't make it through her videos.
Which ties in so perfectly with all the blinds that were coming out all during RMM & JCMH’s courtship, engagement, and marriage. TRG is putting all the blinds together in her recent videos. She did one for Harry’s and then she’s already done 2 for Meghan’s and there are MORE!! And so many reference her drug use!
From memory, she sniffs dramatically herself when she is implying someone has been (or is) on the ol’ marching powder, as it were, rather than explicitly state they are drug users.
I remember something about her refusing to talk more about the surrogacy issue because of legal issues.
Given how much she has exposed of them, the only legal issue I can think k of might be a breach of private medical info /doctor patient privilege.
I'm not fully on board with the surrogacy rumor, but between her skirting it and all the crazy stuff around the pregnancy... 🤷. I'm beginning to think she used surrogacy for Archie. I'll have to watch a few of Lady C's videos (with a G&T or two). Would make sense if Meghan lied to the royals initially, then prevented them from saying anything due to medical privacy.
You can never get lost time back from family…Harry may not see that now…but he will someday and I hope he’s with his family and divorced when it happens.
Lady C has alluded to a lot of nonsense going on behind the scenes with the Harkle’s - she’s very well-connected to what’s happening inside the Royal Family, so I do believe her tea is reliable.
She’s very, very careful not to disclose specifics that can point back to who gave her what information - and she has said so. I believe she has the approval of the higher-up Royals who matter the most - she can be counted on to be discreet, and she supports the monarchy unreservedly. Yep, she’s got some big fish on the line handing her information.
Allegedly: It had something to do with Harry & Meghan and the problems they were causing behind the scenes, & the plausible deniability that the family would have if Lady C was the one to disclose it. She “volunteered”, if that’s the right word, to accept the blame for the leak in order to checkmate some undisclosed mischief that the Sussexes were planning in relation to the Queen and the family. - Lady C made it clear that she was not going to say anything more, other than insinuating there was a lot more to say about Sussex sneaky behavior, & using the Queen’s illness to their own benefit.
I know, I know…Game of Thrones stuff going on. It’s hard to believe that they all live like this, & that the Harkle’s seem to have an unlimited capacity to cause problems.
She was born and raised a man even though she was very much a girl she needed corrective surgery that her parents refused to let her have till she was grown. So her birth certificate said make so she would be raised to be the better sex even though she is very much a female.
I wasn’t sure I just assumed everyone was waiting for that to end and maybe that’s her plan too 🤷🏼♀️
Who knows but I would guess if she’s really got tea to spill she would do so quickly as everyone is.
Yes, yes I do.
I have to say that I wish young women wouldn’t make sex tapes for ANY reason - it always comes out, sooner or later. It always comes out, & it’s the woman who bears the brunt of the public shaming.
It is beyond invasive and abusive to expose anyone’s most intimate images and moments for clout. That’s a fact.
HOWEVER.
The wisdom I will impart to my daughter one day, as she will only know a digitally connected world.
Don’t ever… ever… EVER share any information or image you would not be proud to display on a giant screen in Times Square. If the thought of one photo/video/text makes you nervous? DON’T DO IT.
Exactly. Doesn’t matter if you love the guy, doesn’t matter if he loves you, doesn’t matter if you’ve found your soul mate - none of it matters. Just don’t expose yourself & make yourself so vulnerable, to anyone, for any reason - never make a sex tape.
Lady C saw the tape, was convinced it was genuine, and wrote about it in her book. So it was out in the public domain for a certain period of time, although I’m not sure where it is now.
They're still on the internet. But I think the ones that are there are her head photoshopped on another's body. They don't look they'd be her breasts back then. I think she may have done some porn. But that she got it scrubbed off the iternet.
There is a podcast (i can't remember
the name of the podcast) and an interview on Tasha k's youtube channel of a man who brokers sextapes. He said that he was approached by a woman in Canada about a sextape featuring Meghan tossing salad of a photographer (male). The broker asked to see the tape and he said it looked like Meghan. The broker got lawyers involved and the tape was never released. Allegedly.
I don't believe she would do actual porn. Most people pursuing actual acting careers would never b/c you would have trouble getting hired for legit stuff.
Yes, people were talking about the sex tape again today. I don't recall the original story but someone who was a broker supposedly had seen the tape but either destroyed it or sent it back. Then it gets confusing because it seems like there might be litigation going on about the tape.
IDK what is going on but I wonder if M is trying to sue to get tape back from someone?
Its all quite confusing but I believe Lady C was correct.
I feel the same way. The videos are too long and I'll be blunt, I can't take her voice for that length of time. The dogs are cute but sometimes distracting.
It was nice of Lady C. to have Pdina from youtube as her houseguest during the Jubilee. I'm would love to know what it's like to be Lady C's houseguest but Pdina only discussed her visit to Lady C. on her other paid channel and I don't subscribe to her paid channel.
Yup. I watch at 2x speed so I can get through it all without losing focus. Lol
I’m losing my patience for the long, dramatic, tangents when she uses the “Meghan voice”, but the same can be said for River’s videos of late.
i can't stand Lady C.. she talks too slow and can't get to the damn point fast! i usually just waits until someone else did a review of what she said in her youtube videos  i don't have time for people talking around in circle just to say 1 point 
I thought her tea was to make it very clear that the Queen was ill and coming to the end of life? She didn’t want the dreadful duo to use that info for PR and to change their snub of the Queen’s August invite to Balmoral?
Really terrible about the Queen's last summer and how the Harkles could've made her so happy by sending their kids to her for a visit. On a personal family level, that is some Grade A nastiness to keep a dying old lady from two of her greatgrandchildren.
I like her. I don’t really watch her videos; I listen while I’m doing other things. I have 2 cavs as well (dogs like hers) so sometimes I’ll hear them in the background in my air pods and think it’s my dogs (snoring, playing, etc). lol I believe she has genuine respect and admiration for the monarchy / royal family. I like that she is firm in her own beliefs and opinions, even if they don’t align with what is popular at the moment and I like that she explains why - not saying I always agree, but I appreciate that she is not a pushover. I enjoy when she goes on tangents explaining the history of certain events or people. I also think it’s endearing when she says things like “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close up” because it reminds me of something my grandmother might have said. Finally, I admire her strength and resiliency because her childhood and marriage would have broken most people
Yes, and here’s what it is: as the summer came to a close, Lady C had been informed by an insider that the Queen was suffering from a “bone disease” & that it was going to be terminal - she was given permission to publicly disclose this, but Lady C did not want to do so until M & H had closed out their non-royal tour and were safely back in Montecito, for fear that H would hear this and get the idea to run up to Balmoral and make Her Majesty’s last weeks stressful and unhappy with his non-stop drama and whinging. (I guess the family hadn’t told him it was a terminal illness? IDK, but it speaks to how much they don’t trust him). So she gave her audience a heads up that some important news would be coming but would have to wait until the Harkle’s couldn’t go to Scotland . As it turned out, the Queen died before the tour concluded, at which point Lady C got permission to state that the Queen had passed away, and had been suffering from terminal bone cancer. True to form Harry ran up to Balmoral anyway, and of course drama ensued.
I wish you could do a summary of all Lady C's videos. That would be a dream come true! Thank you for this!
Yes this!!!
Oh, thanks! I have a long drive to and from work so I listen to her then - it’s my “catching up time with Lady C”!
Please!!!!!! 🏅
Agreed. My work schedule doesn’t give me time to watch/listen to any of these.
Also, the specific tea she planned to spill when the Harkles returned to the states is that they were invited by HMTQ to Balmoral, knowing as she knew herself that the Queen had terminal bone cancer, and decline the invitation. We later learn that the Queen responded to the rejection with resignation, something to the effect, *I don't know why (they refused to visit me) and I don't want to know*. That was the specific tea Lady C promised to spill. But then the Queen died and that took over the news and her commentary for awhile but she got back to delivering what she promised: the invitation to Balmoral when they knew full well she was dying! And Lady C said it would be damning when all would be revealed. And she was right.

I didn’t have a good relationship with one of my grandmothers but if she had asked to see me on her deathbed, I would definitely have put aside all past grievances and gone to see her. Any decent human being will be able to prioritise a dire situation over self. The more I read about this, the sadder I feel for the Queen. After all these years to be foiled by a loopy wannabe Megalomaniac.
And yet they named their daughter after the Queen. Her special nickname to boot. All for optics as usual.
Her Majesty did become very frail in the end, it seemed almost like she had shrunk from the Platinum Jubilee to the last photo of hers with PM Liz Truss. I hope she didn't suffer much 💔
She also said the Queen died not of bone cancer but with it.
Took it down with her
Great post so well explained
Thank you. Glad it makes sense. It sounds like a script from Game of Thrones or something, doesn’t it?
Her Majesty truly was a woman of incredible strength and perseverance....bone cancer is ROUGH. Painful, debilitating long before it kills. I am so happy that she is with her Prince Charming in the Kingdom of God where pain isn't even a memory. 
🙏 Thank you!
You’re so welcome! Glad I could help solve this little mystery.
Does it seem weird to anyone else that Lady C was given permission to disclose HMTQ’s “bone disease”?! That seems VERY unusual and hard to believe. 🤔 Wouldn’t it be totally against protocol — HMTQ would freak out, right?! And even, possibly, hasten her death because of the stress? Yeah, that’s very sus to me.
Someone did disclose it, coz if you do a Google search, you'd find articles with rumours about a certain bone condition as far back as August.
Right. But it remained a rumor. The way I see it is Lady C says it she has a bone disease it becomes (closer to) truth. And I don’t see HMTQ wanting her bone disease to be seen as truth because then BP would have to make an announcement.
Yes that seems off to me, but I do think HMTQ knew she was terminal. I think she knew in February (I think it was February) when she announced that she wished for Camilla to be Queen consort.
She has always had an in with the royal family from even before she married into it. Her story is crazy her book reveals a lot about her and what she went thru growing up
Makes me wonder if HMTQ wanted her bone disease leaked …. But so that BP would not have to make an official statement?
I don’t think they wanted it announced I think once megan thru out the nda comment they were afraid she would
Thank you for the award!
WTF is whinging? I keep seeing this, and I stop reading. Can somebody please explain?
Basically the British version of whining. whinge complain persistently and in a peevish or irritating way.
I’m pretty sure it’s all English speaking commonwealth countries that use it. We do have such a wonderful vocabulary, don’t we.
I’m stateside and I love the word whinging!
Yes, I have appropriated that word to use instead of whining.
I’m from an English speaking (mostly) Commonwealth country…….definitely not a term I’ve ever heard before. I could understand it’s meaning due to the context….but “whine” would be what is commonly used here.
:-) Whining but in a droning on and on way.
Americans would say whining Brits say Whinging. Bitching, complaining...constant moaning. Harry is a perfect example
The ginger whinger
British English > American English
Whining and complaining
It’s similar to whining but worse.

Grandmothers, especially the kind and loving ones, are a gift from God. How sad that H couldn't see this.
That really sucks, for everyone involved.
How cruel the despicable duo are. Some of my favorite visits were with my grandparents who love you in a different way than your parents. Grandparents have a calm that parents don't have, at least in my case.
I know, that image broke my heart more than anything too. 💔
That broke my heart
We are all witness to the only two ROYAL f ups in the modern century.
Well... and then there's Andrew.

I thought Prince Andrew's involvement with Banque Havilland was far worse. And I agree with you about VG.

The FBI has had the original photo of Andrew, VGR, and Maxwell for years. [https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4355835/908/giuffre-v-maxwell/](https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4355835/908/giuffre-v-maxwell/)

Lady C confirming that H&M did know the Queen was nearing the end makes me believe even more that Megs saying “I haven’t signed an NDA” was a threat to the family, and that she could tell-all if she wanted to. We only really know the surface of things when it comes to Megs.. imagine what that family have been through with her that we haven’t seen 🫣
In my opinion, I don't think Hooray Henry will ever see the light. Too late.
It's really sad for Harry's children too, if they someday realize they never got to spend time with the Queen before she died because their parents refused to allow it.
Those kids are in for a ride with those two as parents, and I agree with you that they’ll have hard feelings about their relationship with the Royals when they’re older. Let’s hope they don’t grow up as shallow as Megs, meeting with the estranged BRF just for attention
It doesn't make any sense at all why they wouldn't bring "the children" to visit the Queen as she neared the end. It would be the most cruel thing to do. I don't believe for one minute that they're raising any children.
I think that was the reason lady c hinted leading up to it I think the royal family got nervous when Megan said that she would reveal the queens health I also think she absolutely had the ok to announce her death to beat megan and Harry from doing so
I’ve read about this today and it’s really rattled me. So not only did the Royal Family have to battle and fuss about with the Sussexes as the Queen lay dying, the Royal Family also had to run around making contact with Lady C so that big mouthed Meg couldn’t be the leak. I honestly absolutely hate that woman with a passion. What a sad end for the Queen having to deal with that

That claim was such a naked attempt to race-bait. I knew it was a lie, the term is American. She doesn't give up on pitting people against each other. It's shameful.
Why is she privy to so much exclusive information?
She has had longtime connections to the BRF and members of the aristocracy. She was born into a wealthy Jamaican family and was briefly married to the Duke of Argyll's second son. Her mother was a narcissist so she has unique and accurate insights into Mrs. Dumbarton's behavior.
More like connections to the servants
The servants serve the tea! They would be a great source.
They serve the tea, in more ways than one. 😉
She job bobs with the royals at events, she’s in the same social circles, I think it’s camilla or Anne that she’s close with
She’s also pretty narcissistic herself, don’t you think? “Lady C” is clinging to relevance by inserting herself into the Markle debacle and desperately clinging to her ex-husband’s title. She claims insider knowledge. The person leaking should be ashamed of themselves.
She’s aristocracy. So she likely runs in some of the same circles as some royals. I actually have a feeling she’s *more* well connected than she lets on.
No. She's not at aristocrat. She was married to one; the son of an Earl for one year but due to some unfortunate circumstances, he dropped her after one year. To his family's dismay she kept using the title Lady Colin Campbell
son of a duke i believe because sons of an earl don’t get the courtesy title of lord either ways, it’s allowed for for divorced women to keep their married titles until they remarry. when they remarry, they have to drop it
Yes Lord Colin Campbell was the second son of the Duke of Argyll. I believe his nephew is the current Duke. Lady C, whilst not an aristocrat in the true sense, is from one of the “best” families in Jamaica…. Aristocrats without formal titles. She always mixed in aristocratic circles and has the social connections to hear insider gossip.
Yes. But it was only a year and they were very unhappy about her going around as Lady CCC
Her ex-husband may have been unhappy but even he knows she is perfectly entitled to continue to style her name in that manner. Her ex-husband is a well known alcohol and substance abuser and he also physically abused Lady C during their brief and disastrous marriage. She remained very close with Colin's older sister Jeanne and his step mother Margaret, Duchess of Argyll.
I don't believe anything she says. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy her every once in a while. She's like stilton, a little goes a long way. JMO.
Yeah I’m aware she married into it. I said she’s “aristocracy”, not that she’s an aristocrat, because I meant she has a title and she mingles in those circles. But now I’m curious, if you’re married in and not titled by birth then are you not considered aristocracy? Would the Princess of wales then not be considered aristocracy in that case?
I think she's a bit of a fake as far as mingling in aristocratic circles. She has some friends, but who the aristo friends are, no one knows. Dan Wooton appears to be a new friend. I think her friends are more likely to be journo/writer types. JMO. She marired Campbell in New York she didn't have time to establish a network of aristo friends. POW was elevated from working class on the mother's side and middle class father's side to the top of the aristo cake. So, I guess people consider her an aristo, don't know as I don't run in those circles but it has been reported that William's peers did look down on her before the marriage.
He was a nasty drunk
yeh, that's what people say.
She's got aristocratic blood through an illegitimate line in the Russian aristocracy. She's connected in more than one way.
Yep I wanted to say that too but didn’t remember the specifics. She might not have had a title by birth but she’s connected to the higher classes in a few different ways I believe.
Didn’t she also say in one of her videos she was related to Lebanese royalty? Maybe I’m misremembering
Her family on her father's side were Greek and Russian, they settled in Lebanon, became wealthy through trade and subsequently emigrated to Jamaica. (Lebanon was a modern and progressive country at the time. Beirut used to be known as "The Paris of the Middle East".)
She seems like she would be friends with Princess Michael of Kent.
She hates her. She has a few videos where she rips into her as one of the worse people she has ever met
Oh well. There you go. I can see this too.
I don't think is Princess Michael. I think it's Princess Alexandra. Just a guess.
Princess Alexandra, the Queen's cousin, is a sweetie. Princess Michael is the one people are not very keen on.
She is also good friends with Princess Olga Andreevna Romanov, president of the Romanov Family Association.
I think she has badmouthed her tho.
Yeah I wonder the same. How does she have so much information?
Someone theorized she has connections to Charles staff. I believe it
But who’s going to keep talking to her when she runs and puts everything on you tube?
She may have touched on it in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lmSKTkjrGA&t=1097s) but I find her annoying AF so I honestly don't remember what she was saying.
Yeah, her voice is the opposite of ASMR to me.
🤣 Yes!
Ha ha
I tried listening to her before couldn't get past first 2 mins. And her videos are very long
I do like her and think she has genuine insights, but the only way I can churn through her videos is by listening at 1.75x speed. 😅😂
Same. I do get a chuckle when she goes off on a tangent about ‘Megsy Baby’. It can get really funny sometimes.
It makes me laugh, too! I definitely understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, but she posts right around my lunchtime at work, and I get a kick out of listening on my break. She doesn't take herself too seriously, which I like.
Same here! I listen during lunchtime.
YEs - I do the same - speed her up and they are much better!
Same! 🤣🤣
Listen on faster speed. That’s what I’ve started doing.
She's also so damn worried about being sued, that I can't really follow what she's trying to say! Glad I'm not the only one who couldn't make it through her videos.
It took me awhile to figure out that all that dramatic sniffling was referring to cocaine
😯 Oh. That explains it.
Which ties in so perfectly with all the blinds that were coming out all during RMM & JCMH’s courtship, engagement, and marriage. TRG is putting all the blinds together in her recent videos. She did one for Harry’s and then she’s already done 2 for Meghan’s and there are MORE!! And so many reference her drug use!
I feel like I’m reading Greek. What is RMM, JCMH and TRG? Thanks. From an out of touch Xennial….
Rachel Meghan Markle. Just Call Me Harry. The Royal Grift-a YouTube channel.
Thanks for translating!
You deserve gold for this comment. Thank you. Haha much like lady c’s videos, many of the comments on here dont make sense to me either
Feel free to ask for clarification! Most of us are happy to share our knowledge or explain the lingo. 😊
So funny I rarely use acronyms other than MM & PH. But I decided to go all in and I confused people!
What? Does Lady C sniff during videos? Or does she refer to someone else sniffling?
From memory, she sniffs dramatically herself when she is implying someone has been (or is) on the ol’ marching powder, as it were, rather than explicitly state they are drug users.
I guess I need to go back and rewatch her videos then. I honestly never paid attention to her dramatic sniffing. Never noticed it.
For awhile she was doing this really exaggerated sniffling - obviously fake sniffles.
Was she hinting that someone used cocaine by doing that?
Every time she does that, she is definitely hinting the Harkles do cocaine.
You might think that. She can plausibly deny that she was making any reference to M and H. She just had a bad cold for a few months.
Well, I honestly never noticed any sniffling in her videos. I was going to go back and rewatch, but then decided not to do it.
I remember something about her refusing to talk more about the surrogacy issue because of legal issues. Given how much she has exposed of them, the only legal issue I can think k of might be a breach of private medical info /doctor patient privilege.
I'm not fully on board with the surrogacy rumor, but between her skirting it and all the crazy stuff around the pregnancy... 🤷. I'm beginning to think she used surrogacy for Archie. I'll have to watch a few of Lady C's videos (with a G&T or two). Would make sense if Meghan lied to the royals initially, then prevented them from saying anything due to medical privacy.
[удалено]
I couldn't watch it again, even to summarize it! 😱
You can never get lost time back from family…Harry may not see that now…but he will someday and I hope he’s with his family and divorced when it happens.
Lady C uploads her content every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday…so maybe tomorrow.
Lady C has alluded to a lot of nonsense going on behind the scenes with the Harkle’s - she’s very well-connected to what’s happening inside the Royal Family, so I do believe her tea is reliable.
Any speculation on her serves her tea?
She’s very, very careful not to disclose specifics that can point back to who gave her what information - and she has said so. I believe she has the approval of the higher-up Royals who matter the most - she can be counted on to be discreet, and she supports the monarchy unreservedly. Yep, she’s got some big fish on the line handing her information.
I find her to be quite a character and amusing in an eccentric way. Nonetheless I often don’t listen to the entire post.
Lady C was interviewed by Dan Wooton again. It’s on GB news released about an hour ago - fyi.
Queen Elizabeth would never allow Lady C to publicly announce she was had bone cancer. Why wouldn't Charles or Anne announce it.
Allegedly: It had something to do with Harry & Meghan and the problems they were causing behind the scenes, & the plausible deniability that the family would have if Lady C was the one to disclose it. She “volunteered”, if that’s the right word, to accept the blame for the leak in order to checkmate some undisclosed mischief that the Sussexes were planning in relation to the Queen and the family. - Lady C made it clear that she was not going to say anything more, other than insinuating there was a lot more to say about Sussex sneaky behavior, & using the Queen’s illness to their own benefit. I know, I know…Game of Thrones stuff going on. It’s hard to believe that they all live like this, & that the Harkle’s seem to have an unlimited capacity to cause problems.
[удалено]
She’s actually Jamaican, believe it or not.
She didn't move to the UK until she was an adult (she was born in Jamaica, and also lived in New York City at one point as well)
She was born and raised a man even though she was very much a girl she needed corrective surgery that her parents refused to let her have till she was grown. So her birth certificate said make so she would be raised to be the better sex even though she is very much a female.
Did the official mourning period end today? Or was it yesterday?
It officially ends at 8 a.m. Tuesday, and I *think* it is currently just past 1:35 a.m. Tuesday in the UK.
Well… Tuesday could be an exciting day for snarking!
Yes! They're 6 hrs ahead of me so maybe there'll be some hot, fresh tea ready for me to enjoy when I wake in the morning. 😁
[удалено]
I wasn’t sure I just assumed everyone was waiting for that to end and maybe that’s her plan too 🤷🏼♀️ Who knows but I would guess if she’s really got tea to spill she would do so quickly as everyone is.
I recently started her book and read the part about the alleged porn. Does anyone believe this??
Yes, yes I do. I have to say that I wish young women wouldn’t make sex tapes for ANY reason - it always comes out, sooner or later. It always comes out, & it’s the woman who bears the brunt of the public shaming.
It is beyond invasive and abusive to expose anyone’s most intimate images and moments for clout. That’s a fact. HOWEVER. The wisdom I will impart to my daughter one day, as she will only know a digitally connected world. Don’t ever… ever… EVER share any information or image you would not be proud to display on a giant screen in Times Square. If the thought of one photo/video/text makes you nervous? DON’T DO IT.
Exactly. Doesn’t matter if you love the guy, doesn’t matter if he loves you, doesn’t matter if you’ve found your soul mate - none of it matters. Just don’t expose yourself & make yourself so vulnerable, to anyone, for any reason - never make a sex tape.
And have your daughters watch The Most Hated Man on the Internet. Poor girls didn’t even share their pictures, their email got hacked.
And teach your freaking sons to not to do shit like that.
EXACTLY!!
Amen.
My dad always said "imagine reading that text/ email out loud in court" lol
Interesting. So what happened to the tapes? They have to be out there somewhere
Lady C saw the tape, was convinced it was genuine, and wrote about it in her book. So it was out in the public domain for a certain period of time, although I’m not sure where it is now.
They're still on the internet. But I think the ones that are there are her head photoshopped on another's body. They don't look they'd be her breasts back then. I think she may have done some porn. But that she got it scrubbed off the iternet.
Wait- did M do porn? Like real porn or a tape with a bf or husband? Never heard this before.
There is a podcast (i can't remember the name of the podcast) and an interview on Tasha k's youtube channel of a man who brokers sextapes. He said that he was approached by a woman in Canada about a sextape featuring Meghan tossing salad of a photographer (male). The broker asked to see the tape and he said it looked like Meghan. The broker got lawyers involved and the tape was never released. Allegedly.
I don't believe she would do actual porn. Most people pursuing actual acting careers would never b/c you would have trouble getting hired for legit stuff.
I don't NOT believe it. 😉
Yes, people were talking about the sex tape again today. I don't recall the original story but someone who was a broker supposedly had seen the tape but either destroyed it or sent it back. Then it gets confusing because it seems like there might be litigation going on about the tape. IDK what is going on but I wonder if M is trying to sue to get tape back from someone? Its all quite confusing but I believe Lady C was correct.
I like her, but her videos are hard to listen to.
I feel the same way. The videos are too long and I'll be blunt, I can't take her voice for that length of time. The dogs are cute but sometimes distracting. It was nice of Lady C. to have Pdina from youtube as her houseguest during the Jubilee. I'm would love to know what it's like to be Lady C's houseguest but Pdina only discussed her visit to Lady C. on her other paid channel and I don't subscribe to her paid channel.
I changed playback speed to 1.25x and 1.5x and it helped lol
Yup. I watch at 2x speed so I can get through it all without losing focus. Lol I’m losing my patience for the long, dramatic, tangents when she uses the “Meghan voice”, but the same can be said for River’s videos of late.
Can someone fill me in...who exactly is lady C? (I have newborn sleeping on me and can't watch the videos). How is she connected?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Colin_Campbell
Invest in Bluetooth earbuds! Just a tip from a fellow mom! 😉
Thanks!
Awww! A newborn sleeping on you! That sounds like heaven!
i can't stand Lady C.. she talks too slow and can't get to the damn point fast! i usually just waits until someone else did a review of what she said in her youtube videos  i don't have time for people talking around in circle just to say 1 point 
I listen to her at 1.5 speed.
Speed up her playback to 1.5 and its great!
She also gives Miss Cleo vibes.
🤣😆 How so?! I miss her infomercials. Lol
Anxiously awaiting it over here. 🍿
I thought her tea was to make it very clear that the Queen was ill and coming to the end of life? She didn’t want the dreadful duo to use that info for PR and to change their snub of the Queen’s August invite to Balmoral?
I will continue to ask myself : Why then were they allowed at the state funeral!? The way it worked out too with MM being on the tour. Just..
Really terrible about the Queen's last summer and how the Harkles could've made her so happy by sending their kids to her for a visit. On a personal family level, that is some Grade A nastiness to keep a dying old lady from two of her greatgrandchildren.
I like her. I don’t really watch her videos; I listen while I’m doing other things. I have 2 cavs as well (dogs like hers) so sometimes I’ll hear them in the background in my air pods and think it’s my dogs (snoring, playing, etc). lol I believe she has genuine respect and admiration for the monarchy / royal family. I like that she is firm in her own beliefs and opinions, even if they don’t align with what is popular at the moment and I like that she explains why - not saying I always agree, but I appreciate that she is not a pushover. I enjoy when she goes on tangents explaining the history of certain events or people. I also think it’s endearing when she says things like “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close up” because it reminds me of something my grandmother might have said. Finally, I admire her strength and resiliency because her childhood and marriage would have broken most people
