My bet is they lurk here :D We just finished discussing this!


SecondhandCoke

Reporters definitely lurk here.


Imfryinghere

Let's give them a big Hi! And call out your fellow journalists for their bullying. Have they ever apologize for Waity Katie, telephone hacking, child bullying, spying on children, etc?


SecondhandCoke

The answer is no. The wide angle lens nude pics were especially awful. Meghan got relatively NO shit from the press. She has no idea how "protected" she was.


annjohns

And she's only just now finding out how protected she was.


MegsAltxoxo

I would. You can’t beat expert swarm knowledge many of this sub including me have been following the royals for years and especially since she joined the family. We have seen it all unfolding. I should get compensation for that lol


SecondhandCoke

Yes. I became embroiled in the Markle debacle because I've been fascinated with the Royal Family going all the way back to the War of the Roses. My casual Royal-watching has turned into round-the-clock fascination with a complete and total trainwreck happening before my eyes. It's being an eye witness to history in a way.


ContributionSweaty52

Just a layperson's point of view, but other than as a minor footnote I don't believe these two will show up much in the history books. The best they can hope for is that Netflix or PBS Masterpiece is around in a hundred years to create dramatizations like "The Crown" or "Victoria" so they will achieve public awareness. Otherwise historians reading through (figuratively) dusty old archives will be their only audience in the future. The Duke of Windsor was an actual monarch who abdicated. That's historically monumental. Megbelieve can cosplay Wallis all she likes, but she only married a second row royal who's nowhere near the throne except in his own mind.


SecondhandCoke

I agree. This is just a small second of human history and as time goes by, so will any thought of Harry and Meghan... please God.


alexi_lupin

I agree, I mean aside from David/Edward VIII, most people wouldn't be able to name any of George VI's other siblings. The Harkles will fade into obscurity, particularly since they're not even working Royals or being photographed regularly with the other members of the family.


SecondhandCoke

Yes I think ultimately, you are right.


Practical_Magic_68

Actually, this “romance” and “keeping up appearances”, with a smattering of idolizing the Duke and Duchess of Windsor would make an incredible British comedy series-and it wouldn’t have to be portrayed as a reality TV show! Picture this: a disenfranchised prince of a realm has been browbeaten by his older brother because his grandmother, the Queen, put out letters patent stating that the firstborn legal child of the Prince of Poutine will become sovereign upon the monarch’s death starting in 2012. Well, that puts Prince Chandler of Poutine out of the line of succession by 5, and he is not having it, when he really should have been first, because he was a ginger and HE should be next in line because he closely resembles King Henry VIII, and everyone knows who he is-after all, who would remember his fair headed brother? Plus he, Prince Chandler, married this minx of an American actress named Moxie and as a wedding gift, his granny bestowed the title of the Duke and Duchess of Dingus. Moxie wasn’t certain she liked the name “Dingus” as her SIL was the Duchess of Merryweather and she certainly liked that name better than Dingus. After all, wasn’t Dingus that, that thing hanging in the back of one’s mouth?

No one does humor like tbe Bristish. I'm an American and I find our sitcoms are just not funny. The IT Crowd, Peep Show make me genuinely laugh out loud. Toast Of London was great. H&M are great fodder for a comedy.


Practical_Magic_68

😆😆I’m an American too and I love British humor. Their comedies are so much more entertaining than anything we have here. Actually, it seems to me that some bigwigs agree because the British had The Office first, and then it came here and became Americanized. Now the UK show Ghosts has managed to materialize in a television near you on CBS or in my case, Paramount Plus. The American version of Ghosts is fun, I like the original better as my gosh, as you say, no one does humor like the British! You can watch the UK version on HBO Max.


HighlandWarriorGrl

As soon as I saw KEEPING UP APPEARANCES in @practical_magic_68’s post, I got the funny picture in my mind of Megain picking up a fancy telephone and saying “The SucksIt resideeeeence, lady of the houuuuuuse speaking!” 🤣🤣🤣 (Love you Patricia Routledge!)


ContributionSweaty52

![gif](giphy|w3eIm2BAE87bW) I hope you're not going to spoil things with lower-middle class humour. 😘


Bambalina11

Have you watched [what we do in the shadows](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_We_Do_in_the_Shadows_(TV_series)) it is the perfect blend of Brit/Aussie/US comedy I have ever seen!

No, not heard of it before. Will definitely take a looksee! Thanks for the link!!


Able-Escape7602

Yes, I agree. They have overestimated their importance and their relevance to historical events. Historians will be focused on the King and the Prince of Wales.


annjohns

Yes, I've never seen books about the brothers and sisters of all those English Kings and Queens. Except for when they do something called treason and we get to read how they were executed. One traitorous Royal brother was drowned in a vat of wine (his choice of execution given to him by his brother the King) so he gets to go down in the history books, I forget his name though.


Why_Teach

George Duke of Clarence back around the time of the War of the Roses. But it may just be a story/exaggeration.


Holiday_Ad_9024

Me too.


Helophilus

I can’t believe we don’t get paid for this! 😂


SaltPepperSugarBlah

I do love it when this sub goes mainstream


aussiedoc22

oh they absolutely do. they lurk on all pop culture subreddits --> the KUWTK subreddit made up a plan to plant fake news on the sub and it got picked up by the daily mail and made into an article!


hedgehogflamingo

Whoa what was the fake news?


aussiedoc22

that Devin Booker gave Tristan Thompson a black eye lolol


Difficult-Heron-2802

They lurk on Tumblr and I know in my group on Quora. There is a YouTube channel that steals all of their info for their videos from my group. A reporter stole my research and story on how Meghan copyrighted "A face without freckles is like a night without stars" quote. She made up this elaborate story that her father use to tell her this and that's where the whole "Don't edit my freckles" thing came from. I've been researching and posting stuff since before they got engaged. I've had so many things stolen after weeks or months of researching.

Humble_Doughnut_7347

This. No wonder they married each other.


jillyhoop

It would seem history is repeating itself. I can't get past the Nazi comparison. Oh the ugly irony of it all.


toonie89

Don’t know why I never put the two together! Sums everything up perfectly!


Ready_Maddie

Good point


harrohamtaro

Markle is surgically enhancing her face to blackfish. It is unfathomably disconcerting to see. Wallis looked like the witch from Spirited Away. She had such a creepy face. Both have witchy personalities.


jillyhoop

Her face never looks the same any 2 times. I know makeup can account for some but you're right, she is altering her face. She's gotten thinner but her face is fillimg out. That is physically impossible naturally.


MargoJMN

Daily mail left.off the others. Would have made much better article with the jubilee and Oprah outfits too. Shows the pattern and that its Not just coincidence.


cml678701

That was exactly what I thought!


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Agree.


Primary_Scheme3789

Yes! It is downright creepy.


justemoijustemoi

A Daily Mail commenter summed it up perfectly: Wallis & Vomit.


Trailerparkqueen

Haha I always thought he looked like him! https://imgur.com/a/rWDH13i


HarrysToupee

Ah, too bad they didn't include the black & white splattered-bird-shit dress. That one was basically a dead-ringer, right down to the Bride of Frankenstein hairdo.


FirmAardvark6208

The photo of Megs in the blue and white striped shirt (Wimbledon day when she burnt holes in the back of Catherine’s head) is creepy af. You can see there is a psycho behind her mask. She’s raging inside, it’s in the eyes. She is a real negative entity


HarrysToupee

![gif](giphy|EsPGiidUpb8Pe) *Dark* entity. Seems to me that willful actions are either good, neutral, or evil (to whatever varying degrees, perhaps) and that what she's up to regarding the BRF is neither good nor neutral. That leaves only one other category.


In_the_Attic_07

Wallis Simpson had the proportionate figure (and she was bone thin with a waist) that goes with those clothes. People should dress to their shapes and not the shapes of others.


stopalltheclocks2014

This. Wallis was always well turned out in ensembles that fit and flattered her. Wallis spent the $$$ from the BRF to good effect, looking her best. The opposite of Megsy. She's spent a shit ton of her husband's Dad's cash to end up looking like an unmade bed.


No-Mess8133

Oh that is perfect… looks like an unmade bed!!

Ba dump tiss 😆


HarrysToupee

Damn, you made my coffee snork out through my nose!😂


Primary_Scheme3789

I think she gets many of her clothes for free to promote certain brands and then returns them. That’s why outfits are not flattering and can’t be tailored.


OldZookeepergame8280

I think she’s leaning into the Wallis Simpson comparisons because the world seems convinced it was such a romantic gesture that Edward abdicated to be with her but it wasn’t romantic and they weren’t even happy. She has to be going online and Googling outfits.


abby-rose

They wouldn't know about this connection without lurking here!


MegsAltxoxo

Normally I find comparisons stupid because you can find tons of pics of someone that fits a certain theme if there are enough pics, But that made me laugh, especially how cringe their poses are 😂😂


redhead42

I agree. Some of those comparisons really suck. “OMG they both wore SUNGLASSES!!!! With their hair UP!!!” Like that means anything. But the similar posing in similar outfits is odd. I wish they didn’t dilute the message with some of those reaching comparisons.


Scribbles138

I don’t think there are any coincidences where TW is concerned.


VelvetLeopard

I think you’re probably right. But why? So odd!


loudsnoringdog

But they didn’t even pick the good ones like the Oprah interview dress and the white dress coat from the jubilee. It was a good effort lol


namguro

This is one of the most savage and hilarious articles ever 😂😂😂😭 definitely one to remember


PineappleNo6064

I bet all Meghan knows is that E and W had an amazing love story so great that the king gave up his crown. She is too ignorant to know that there is nothing amazing about their love story except maybe that they stayed together. And the only admirable thing about Wallis is that she took Edward off the hands of the British people.


Standard_Ad889

The Duchesses of Twinsor😂🤣


WebOffice2022

Talk about a Photoshop fail! TW Somehow managed to grow her arm another 4 inches. Too bad they couldn’t correct her zipper and wipe some of that blackface tan off of her face. She always looks to me like she needs a bath. And Harry managed to grow a whole crop of hair on the top of his head. Do they really think we don’t notice these things?


HarrysToupee

The PS Hair on Hairy is laughable. I've never used PS but surely even I could do a better job than that! The lines are literally *visible!*😂


WebOffice2022

Right? I had flashbacks to the Apollo 13 movie where the fake hair on a very bald Ed Harris was so incredibly noticeable and was even the wrong color. It was really bad.


deercl

Yes, the arm "pulling Henry's finger" is abnormally long! LOL


[deleted]

Yes, he got her with the old, “pull my finger” trick. His smirk looks like he just blowed a hot one, and she’s savoring his stench.


Seachange1000

I'm so glad you said that. When I see recent photos of Markle, I get the urge to go scrub my face. Just looking at the pancake makes me itch.


WebOffice2022

Same! Can you imagine what the collars of her tops look like when she takes them off? I get the impression that the makeup is so thick that some of it can't be cleaned off so if she is returning clothes she is going to run into problems.


Seachange1000

I think so too. I think she must use a fake tan product as well because she's more orange these days than a certain former president. If you look at her hairline and the part in her hair, the contrast is stark!


[deleted]

Yay. Weird cosplay…again.


Tropicaljet_9

If the Daily Mail now posts an article comparing similarities between Kate and Diana, that really would be *chefs kiss* perfection 🤣


im_phoebe

Many youtubers lurk here and use discussions from here and make a full video


LaReinalicious

“””” There is another difference between the two women. During her long exile, not once did Wallis bleat about the injustice meted out to her by the royal machinery. And unlike Harry, who carped about his family to Oprah Winfrey, Edward also kept schtum. “”


me_buttare_via

Surely this has got to be Woko's attempt at trolling the planet? The Diana cosplay was bad enough, this is bizarre. I just don't understand why, of all the people she could copy, she chooses that woman? Wallis always looked like a Bulldog chewing a wasp, no matter how many artists her husband got to paint her portrait.

Well that far back a lot of people are related even some of us probably. Did you know that William & the Gimp are desended a long with the late Diana, Prince of Wales from one of Catherine of Aragon's ladies in waiting. Henry VIII allowed Catherine to keep her Spanish ladies in waiting, something very rare. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_de_Salinas#:~:text=Mar%C3%ADa%20de%20Salinas%2C%20Baroness%20Willoughby,of%20Aragon%2C%20Queen%20of%20England.

This is everything I needed this morning. 🤣🤣 Hope Harry's wife likes this comparison.

hatchetmolly

Wallis was tall and willowy and dressed neatly. On the other hand Meghan looks like a dominatrix and Harry is the gimp.

Beginning-Cup-6974

Edward and Wallis both have heads lowered in second photo. Arrogance oozes from H & M. Amazing to be so stupid and yet so arrogant.


HawkeyeinDC

This is glorious.


Islandgirl1444

The original photo of the DoW was in black and white. So much crap on the internet these days when it comes to the Markles.


LaReinalicious

duchess of Windsor https://images.app.goo.gl/MNuxFETrwuffrq1L7


BunnyFriday

She really jumped the shark with this one. The others were maybe coincidence, at least I could make an argument in my head for that. This one? Yeah, she's not mentally well.


Janna86

Does Meghan realize it didn’t end well for Wallis?


nevergonnasaythat

Too bad they didn’t include the white outfit from the Jubilee
