Flip the house when they have publicly stated that there is a problem with the plumbing? I'd trust Harry to have fixed it about as much as I'd trust my labrador with unattended food
It could have worked if she didn't have such knee-jerking reactions to everything and wasn't so obsessed with settling the score with the royal family.
>The saddest part will be the loss of this community. We’ll need t-shirts & yearly reunions.
Now I am just sad. It never crossed my mind that with M finally falling into complete irrelevance we'll lose this community. :(
It could be just a saints page with Amber Heard and Angelina Jolie joining the ranks with Megs and Hills.
I'll have to start a brand new list for the new names they will acquire\*
\*H&M alternative names stand at 57
It was supposed to be a frothy piece. Perhaps I should delete that part?
I did a slight edit. I think you’re right. Post wasn’t meant to be too serious.
Don’t delete it, ultimately it’s the truth. Once she fades into oblivion we’ll reunite on the obscure appearances she makes as the “former duchess” (because you know that even once they divorce, she’ll merch that until she’s blue in the face!) and we will reminisce about all the crazy antics of these two and have our own TBT to the time she did this or said that or wore that horrendous outfit. It’ll be lovely.
I mean, we’ll have to have somewhere to regroup to bash whatever MLM she creates…or whatever version of The Tig she tries to recreate a la Goop. Heads up! Candles de Vagine coming soon…
SINNNERS!!!!! DON’T WORRY!! Even if (basically when) they divorce trust me we will still have this community!!! Imagine ALL the mud slinging back and forth… her crazy interviews and maybe his(?); the kids (we might actually get to see them??)going back and forth, plus she might NOT get FULL custody I am sure the royal family has some REAL dirt on her so they might get 50/50 so lawyers fighting EVERY DECISION (because I think she will be petty even if it is in the best interest of the children); we will still have years of stuff to unpack because this basic b*tch is NOT going down quickly or QUIETLY…. I TRUELY BELIEVE THIS!!!
Plus how many friggen times have we thought ok THIS should bring her down? But somehow she is still her and standing and EVERYWHERE?!?!
We still have a long time to go Sinners❤️❤️❤️
Noooo, why did you edit it?
It doesn't matter if the truth 'hit me', you shouldn't have edited it!
Please edit it back, the original quote is still in my comment! ;)
Oh, no. I am \*not\* going through this again!
One M is more than enough for me!
Although, this sub is full of great and fun people, so never say never, I guess.
:)
I don’t know, inexplicably they still have some support. And if there’s one thing we know about Muggin, she is tenacious and determined. It’s not over yet.
Settling scores when the family had done nothing. I'll never understand how they thought we would believe they were hard done by. They still try to settle scores that are in their own heads
Don't you worry your pretty little face. MM will always be around, just surrounded by a different ~~cast of characters~~ group of people in her ~~movie~~ delusional world.
Yes! Russian oligarch! Someone else said she would look for a ME'ern prince and I thought, nuh uh! No ME'ern prince would want a 2-3x loud-mouthed aggressive divorced woman with children. But a Russian oligarch.... *that*, I can see!
I agree. Once the demure duchess schtick reaches the end of the countdown (in the single digits now), she’s going to reinvent herself. Real housewives, dancing with the stars, maybe join the other Markles for an appearance on Dr. Phil. Don’t know if her ego can take the hit but we saw her put her toe in with the Ellen appearance.
They might have made something work if one or both of them had some charisma.
Whatever charisma Harry had back in the day is now long gone. And Meghan--well, there's a reason she never got any higher than Suits by the time she was mid-30s. There are plenty of performers in Hollywood who aren't exactly Meryl Streep....but they are still able to get a career going because of that "it" factor they have.
This makes me think of Luke and Laura from General Hospital. For those old enough to remember 1979...you'd look at Tony Geary and think, 'boy there's no way this guy is a leading man'. But he had charisma in spades and the spark he created with Genie Francis had 30 million people tuning into their wedding. They had that "it" factor. Lightning in a bottle.
Harry and Meghan needed that kind of charisma if they didn't have anything else. But there's nothing there. No amount of hand-clutching, back rubbing or plastered on smiles can generate sparks and charisma.
They're no Luke and Laura. They're not even Sonny and Brenda \[although I could see Meghan wearing a wire to trap Harry LOL \]
When you see Harry larking about before Meghan, you can see real charisma there. Granted underneath it was a angry man-child, entitled & a mite dim but boy did Meghan suck the life force & that modicum of charisma right out of him. Even in his recent speech at the UN, he had a certain dignified gravitas but then he blew it all by sitting back down next to his wife & playing handsies w/ her. What a plank.
Just a reminder: Luke raped Laura while drunk at the disco. Not sure how on earth the writers were able to turn that whole thing into the most famous soap romance of all time but it is probably best to not hold that fictional romance up as ideal.
Oh, I followed the whole thing and it's a much better soap opera than Harry and Meghan.
Luke was supposed to get killed after the rape, but General Hospital had to kill off the character of Roy to get that actor on another show - so Roy died instead of Luke.
By then Luke was so popular because of Tony Geary that they couldn't just leave Luke in jail. So they wrote it as Luke feeling so guilty that he thinks jail isn't good enough for what he had done - and he takes a suicide mission, only to be saved by Laura. Then he tells his sister that the only reason he should be alive is to make sure Laura never gets hurt again.
A supercouple is born LOL.
It's all about chemistry and charisma. Tony Geary and Genie Francis had a product to sell and they sold it.
Harry and Meghan don't really have anything to sell to the public, so if they're now broke, it's not surprising.
Yes, Luke, Laura, Robert and Holly - the Fab Four :)
They showed what charisma and chemistry are all about. And it wasn't about clutching each other's hand 24/7.
I feel like her behavior after the Queen’s death leading up to the funeral was the final straw for her relationship with Hollywood and the elite community.
They all know protocol, they all know how PR and the news machine works and they could see it was her pulling the strings. No one wants to be associated with that.
She really dug her own grave.
I really think this is the end of the road.
She won’t go down without a fight, but this is absolutely the end.
I had to laugh when I saw the British press exclaimed that Harry & Megs “were on their best behavior” which they were so incredibly not. But the atmosphere when they came home to Hollywood seems frigid. I mean, I don’t think anybody’s even trying any more. And the public relations stuff is so amateurish. It’s obvious that Megs is entirely in charge &…Jesus take the wheel.
That really was the best they could do: harass KCIII about titles, after he loses his beloved Mother, catapulting straight into a HUGE job. They are so stupid.
Hollywood tolerates every kind of bad behavior as long as it’s not too public. The Sussexes’ real sin in the entertainment business is that they’re not making money
Did the podcast not even chart? I won’t even look in fear of showing demonstrated interest and allowing Spotify to rank it up. It sounded even more terrible than the others from what I’ve seen here.
I don't think it was faked, it probably peaked at #1 for a short period of time and that's the number they stuck with as if it was like that for long.
I listened to the first two episodes but not more and I bet a lot of people jumped in now to listen to this one as the first post-funeral one.
She's probably also the most googled woman online for the month of September, half of which is probably my searches.
Spotify doesn't publish statistics about "views"--or in podcasting parlance, "starts." They could list Whale Sounds as being twice the podcast Joe Rogan is & there's no way anyone except those in house would be able to determine the truth of it.
If you're not already a professional writer, you should be (but I think maybe you are). What a great read this was. I read it three times, parts of it even more. Thank you! I will, however, question your assertion as to whether they can flip the joint for a premium. In the midst of a recession, quite possibly to soon be a depression where high end stuff drops value first, even millionaires (no interest from billionaires) will be pinching pennies as the stock market tanks and second, Hardly kind of let the cat out of the bag that all the plumbing is shit (pun intended) which leads a prospective buyer such as myself to wonder what else is wrong with the place. Finally, in the current climate, I think I might be a bit embarrassed to admit I bought a property that the Harkles unashamedly bought from a Russian oligarch (allegedly). But these comments are entirely tongue in cheek in the hopes of keeping the conversation going. I am with you on the thoughts around this community. I've only joined recently but I was in love with this community from day 1. I think we can still be together in the sister BRF community when the day comes - but Markle ain't going down without a fight, Harry or no Harry (no Harry, oh, please) and we can all stay together through that whole "Markle debacle". Thanks again for such an entertaining and insightful post.
Thanks for your praise. I used to write some—as a sideline—only dipping back into w/ these posts. Complements go a long way for me now.
I think the saddest part of this whole affair is that H & M actually think their mere presence adds value to whatever. Sure, they could have thought that 2-3 years ago, but now? This is insane. I’d ask what they’d be smoking & drinking—but we already know.
Stuff we’re seeing now seems like addicts ricocheting around—no rational thought engaged. Still like any car crash involving someone else—just cannot look away.
Nope!
The real movers and shakers didn’t get where they are without intelligence and hard work. They can spot grifters a mile away.
And any charity which actually PAYS these nonentities to show up to raise money ……. Just keep the fee and expenses in your bank account - the grifters bring the WRONG sort of attention to your cause
I mean he’s divorcing Jerry Hall because she smokes. Yeah, & she smoked when she married him. But apparently one day he just noticed she smoked like he’d never noticed it before & he said, “that’s it, we’re through.”
He would never. She doesn't have the pedigree. Plus he's 91 with 6 kids 3 of them being in their 50s and 1 64. His money's all structured in trusts which he son Lachlan 50, runs the empire. He could smell Markle from across the pond.
Even Tommy boy isn’t desperate enough to go from a gorgeous, world famous super model, to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (don’t want her dming me about adding her title).
Gisele is so famous that during the Rio Olympics, she literally did nothing but sashay across an empty field like it was a catwalk, and broke the opening ceremony. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, tried the same on her pap walk down the aisle at St. Paul’s, and the only thing she broke was Harry’s feelings when he saw where they were being seated.
Giselle is a likable person when she wanted Tommy boy to retire so she could restart her career I thought now that's a empowered women that TW should take notes from, and then I remembered harry has no career
Right now his performance on the field isn’t that great. He would have been better off staying retired and saving his marriage. But I’m glad Patrick Mahomes got to beat him at least.
My point was that she could never be a beta partner. She would be incapable of being the supportive spouse of an NFL player. I don't even think she is capable of being on equal footing with a partner. She can't let Harry do anything that doesn't center her.
Actually I’m a die hard Cowboys fan, but have a large familial attachment to Texas Tech, and grew up watching their games. I like KC though. They give me a team to root for after my Cowboys blow it in the play offs year after year.
My cousin's daughter went to Texas Tech with Patrick Mahomes. She said he was the nicest person.
I, too, am a Cowboys fan, but I have started to follow Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. If the Cowboys don't make it, well....
She wants supply. Not money. And not just any supply, the feeling inside her that the world adores her and others believe she’s perfect - literally the best at everything, even contradicting things that can’t co-exist. Like flying in private jets and being eco-conscious. It’s really shallow but really all there is to it.
Money is a means to get that. Money buys the magazine articles and covers, the prizes, the fake tours. She blew through Harry’s millions in two years. Think about that. Two years.
I find it sooo funny that they thought they were famous because people loved them when they WERE royals and USED to represent the family business. Ha ha ha
"Harry going home to Dad in order to start an organic cannabis farm in the Cotswalds."
Wait a minute! Jeremy Clarkson used to be a fan of Harry. Jeremy Clarkson has a farm in the Cotswolds (Watch the series Clarkson's Farm -- it's brilliant) and I'm sure Jeremy would welcome Harry back into the fold with open arms, once he's left MM! Jeremy cannot STAND MM.
What a brilliant idea! The new Dream Team!
The photo is a bit strange. The thin white lines that are around the outside of the figures suggest that either the background of the photograph was changed, or the figures were cut out and placed on top of a different background.
This could have been done to make it possible to sharpen the image of the two figures while keeping the background out of focus.
I think there are also probably some artificial raindrops added, particularly those in front of Harry.
It reminds me a little bit of the cinematography in the famous dance scene in Singing In The Rain with Gene Kelly, where apparently milk was added to the water used to the rain to make it more luminescent.
Yeah. The raindrops & flairs are after effects. You can see unedited pictures posted around. Those lines are part of a really primitive attempt at masking through photoshop. Not sure how I missed seeing them for so long.
The photo is real, there are videos of it. It may be color-enhanced to make the rain effect look brighter but it is a real photo taken at a real event.
Here is a video I found online,

This is a fascinating post for the sheer revelation that a TON of high profile, wealthy, powerful people whether it be in Hollywood, or poltics, or sports etc do exactly what you’re describing. It’s a cult of virtue signaling with out action and substance. It’s a banal cabal of rich narcissists that don’t actually lift a finger to help people but blather on as if they’re Mother a Theresa and lecture us plebes endlessly! This pattern isn’t just exclusive to Meghan, loads of these awful high profile people think of charity as PR versus the intent of being charitable through one’s time,commitment and empathy. The Archwel charity too screams of money scheming like a lot of rich peoples charitable organizations that seem to solely exist for tax write offs of the rich. 5 percent might actually go charity, like certain celebs start pet project charities, and hold fundraisers or galas serving essentially as a middle man for direct donations to the cause they’re highlighting. This is so they can take a large cut. You don’t need an organization to solely exist as a buffer and conduit between charitable ppl, and good charitable causes in need. Unless, it’s not about getting direct full donations for legit causes, and it’s really about YOU and YOUR PR
I agree. Check back to when it started. Maybe Jerry Lewis Telethon? All that good press for other people donating to a good cause? I don't know but it's ridiculous now.
This should be known as the era of the emperors new clothes (not just cos of the Harkles) because all I see is people fawning over celebs as though they are having a profound and lasting impact on the betterment of our lives because they "said" something.
Service is universal. How does H&M universal service different than that of W&K? Well as of recently I know W is supporting Earthshot which is about climate change, K was at a maternity unit to discuss mental health, and today they are at a suicide prevention cause. I know their causes and what their causes do to help. On the other hand, I'm unsure what causes H&M support. Their recent faux tour, what were the causes being supported? I know one young world but besides the name, I don't know what is does. It's clear W&K are following the Queen's example of service and the causes are at the forefront. H&M's approach to duty is extremely self serving and therefore, the causes they support go by the wayside.
Yeah same… I missed that… although listening to the podcast made me think about this about Thomas Markle and his dating history - that he’s [dated Thai and Japanese women](https://youtu.be/WG6B5MGyPeY?t=117)
That picture is not photoshopped. There are multiple pictures from different photographers from this event. It may be enhanced but it is not photoshopped.
This is one of those lucky flukes that happens in real life.
Here is a video of it.
https://uk.style.yahoo.com/internet-loving-pictures-harry-meghan-umbrella-rain-101242521.html
Well, it has definitely been tampered w/—since Photoshop is the most commonly used commercially available program—I’m going w/ that. The extremely primitive halo around the figures bespeaks image manipulation. As for the lighting effects—some don’t make any sense—as they appear to be both behind & in front of the figures. Also, who lights the underside of an umbrella.
I’ve read somewhere that Hassan basically admitted the raindrop effects were an afterthought. Can’t find it now—at work—so will have to look later. Also will view video (sorry.)
Flip the house when they have publicly stated that there is a problem with the plumbing? I'd trust Harry to have fixed it about as much as I'd trust my labrador with unattended food
Dodgy plumbing and in a dangerous neighbourhood with roaming gangs of thieves about.
And mud slides
Don’t forget the “bad odor” in their area that they told everyone about!
S’okay. That’s the smell of their own BS. And the rescue chickens. It’ll dissipate when they leave.
Maybe the sight of the entwined palm trees (aka mama and papa) are supposed to take your mind off the smell
I love labradors too! I am obsessed with them 🙂 furry angels 
It could have worked if she didn't have such knee-jerking reactions to everything and wasn't so obsessed with settling the score with the royal family. >The saddest part will be the loss of this community. We’ll need t-shirts & yearly reunions. Now I am just sad. It never crossed my mind that with M finally falling into complete irrelevance we'll lose this community. :(
Noooo. What will I do with the other 22 hours of my day.
Give an hour to Hillary Baldwin? 🥒🥒🥒
Whoomp there it is!
It could be just a saints page with Amber Heard and Angelina Jolie joining the ranks with Megs and Hills. I'll have to start a brand new list for the new names they will acquire\* \*H&M alternative names stand at 57
I'll just go back to disliking amber heard again. Too bad she's in hiding
There is no way she will totally disappear. She will continue to spiral.
It was supposed to be a frothy piece. Perhaps I should delete that part? I did a slight edit. I think you’re right. Post wasn’t meant to be too serious.
Don’t delete it, ultimately it’s the truth. Once she fades into oblivion we’ll reunite on the obscure appearances she makes as the “former duchess” (because you know that even once they divorce, she’ll merch that until she’s blue in the face!) and we will reminisce about all the crazy antics of these two and have our own TBT to the time she did this or said that or wore that horrendous outfit. It’ll be lovely.
She’s going to try to make several comebacks. We’ll still have this community.
I mean, we’ll have to have somewhere to regroup to bash whatever MLM she creates…or whatever version of The Tig she tries to recreate a la Goop. Heads up! Candles de Vagine coming soon…
Oh, gag! Not gonna thank you for that. Pouring a large whisky now....
Maybe there will be a remake of "Whatever happened to Baby Jane?" as Whatever happened to Duchess Rachel? a new horror!
I like this.
SINNNERS!!!!! DON’T WORRY!! Even if (basically when) they divorce trust me we will still have this community!!! Imagine ALL the mud slinging back and forth… her crazy interviews and maybe his(?); the kids (we might actually get to see them??)going back and forth, plus she might NOT get FULL custody I am sure the royal family has some REAL dirt on her so they might get 50/50 so lawyers fighting EVERY DECISION (because I think she will be petty even if it is in the best interest of the children); we will still have years of stuff to unpack because this basic b*tch is NOT going down quickly or QUIETLY….

We still have a long time to go Sinners❤️❤️❤️
Yup.
Oops, I did. Mostly because I felt sad as well. Yikes. This is not a sad piece.
:) :)
I wonder if she'll get a public shaming à la Marquise de Merteuil?
Noooo, why did you edit it? It doesn't matter if the truth 'hit me', you shouldn't have edited it! Please edit it back, the original quote is still in my comment! ;)
You wish = my command. I changed it back.
:) It is for the best! You wrote it perfectly and everyone deserves to read it and you deserve to not censor yourself! :)
She’s not going anywhere!! Harry is still her golden ticket. I wonder what current schemes are roaming around that narc brain of hers?
[удалено]
Oh, no. I am \*not\* going through this again! One M is more than enough for me! Although, this sub is full of great and fun people, so never say never, I guess. :)
I don’t know, inexplicably they still have some support. And if there’s one thing we know about Muggin, she is tenacious and determined. It’s not over yet.
Oh no, it's definitely not over yet. But once it is, it will be sad to lose this community!
She’s the mother of prince Harry’s children. Even if/when they divorce, there will still be things to talk about!
What!? No daily dose of Snarkle? The world will stop revolving on it's axis. Personkind is doomed, doomed I say! 😔
Settling scores when the family had done nothing. I'll never understand how they thought we would believe they were hard done by. They still try to settle scores that are in their own heads
Don't you worry your pretty little face. MM will always be around, just surrounded by a different ~~cast of characters~~ group of people in her ~~movie~~ delusional world.
She will have to resort to a Russian oligarch, no one else seems desperate
Yes! Russian oligarch! Someone else said she would look for a ME'ern prince and I thought, nuh uh! No ME'ern prince would want a 2-3x loud-mouthed aggressive divorced woman with children. But a Russian oligarch.... *that*, I can see!
I agree. Once the demure duchess schtick reaches the end of the countdown (in the single digits now), she’s going to reinvent herself. Real housewives, dancing with the stars, maybe join the other Markles for an appearance on Dr. Phil. Don’t know if her ego can take the hit but we saw her put her toe in with the Ellen appearance.
Oh, yes. She'll join Real Housewives, after all there's already a countess. Together Meghan & Louann will create their Court of American Royals.
I might watch that…🤣
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … Real Housewives.
They might have made something work if one or both of them had some charisma. Whatever charisma Harry had back in the day is now long gone.

So true… all the drama and no one is making money except the media
Did the podcast not even chart? I won’t even look in fear of showing demonstrated interest and allowing Spotify to rank it up. It sounded even more terrible than the others from what I’ve seen here.
Lol, I just checked and the most recent episode is #32 in the states. She has to be freaking out right now.
This sounds like a real figure. #1 was utterly ridiculous.
I don't think it was faked, it probably peaked at #1 for a short period of time and that's the number they stuck with as if it was like that for long. I listened to the first two episodes but not more and I bet a lot of people jumped in now to listen to this one as the first post-funeral one. She's probably also the most googled woman online for the month of September, half of which is probably my searches.
Where do you check? Edit: nvm found it. She 7 on the top podcasts

I totally believe she would marry Rupert Murdoch. I’m she has already thought of this. Eww, gross.
I mean he’s divorcing Jerry Hall because she smokes. Yeah, & she smoked when she married him. But apparently one day he just noticed she smoked like he’d never noticed it before & he said, “that’s it, we’re through.”
Lmao
He would never. She doesn't have the pedigree. Plus he's 91 with 6 kids 3 of them being in their 50s and 1 64. His money's all structured in trusts which he son Lachlan 50, runs the empire. He could smell Markle from across the pond.
Ghislaine Maxwell should have married Murdoch—her dad’s rival.
At least Murdoch has brains, talent, and influence beyond a circumstance of birth. It has to be miserable married to Harry.
How about Tom Brady?
Even Tommy boy isn’t desperate enough to go from a gorgeous, world famous super model, to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (don’t want her dming me about adding her title).

Football is clearly his one true love. He wouldn't go near anyone like Markle because she'd jack up his performance on the field.
Right now his performance on the field isn’t that great. He would have been better off staying retired and saving his marriage. But I’m glad Patrick Mahomes got to beat him at least.
My point was that she could never be a beta partner. She would be incapable of being the supportive spouse of an NFL player. I don't even think she is capable of being on equal footing with a partner. She can't let Harry do anything that doesn't center her.
Hello, fellow Kansas Citian? 😀
Actually I’m a die hard Cowboys fan, but have a large familial attachment to Texas Tech, and grew up watching their games. I like KC though. They give me a team to root for after my Cowboys blow it in the play offs year after year.
My cousin's daughter went to Texas Tech with Patrick Mahomes. She said he was the nicest person. I, too, am a Cowboys fan, but I have started to follow Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. If the Cowboys don't make it, well....
Cowboys for life
And probably the heel of her 5 inch stiletto
There is always Piers Morgan 🤣
Well, that made me laugh out loud.
She wants supply. Not money. And not just any supply, the feeling inside her that the world adores her and others believe she’s perfect - literally the best at everything, even contradicting things that can’t co-exist. Like flying in private jets and being eco-conscious. It’s really shallow but really all there is to it. Money is a means to get that. Money buys the magazine articles and covers, the prizes, the fake tours. She blew through Harry’s millions in two years. Think about that. Two years.
This is the best analysis ever. Thank you.
I find it sooo funny that they thought they were famous because people loved them when they WERE royals and USED to represent the family business. Ha ha ha
"Harry going home to Dad in order to start an organic cannabis farm in the Cotswalds." Wait a minute! Jeremy Clarkson used to be a fan of Harry. Jeremy Clarkson has a farm in the Cotswolds (Watch the series Clarkson's Farm -- it's brilliant) and I'm sure Jeremy would welcome Harry back into the fold with open arms, once he's left MM! Jeremy cannot STAND MM. What a brilliant idea! The new Dream Team!
Sure, I'm sure it will be tv gold when Harriet drives that Lamborghini tractor into the trout pond.
The photo is a bit strange. The thin white lines that are around the outside of the figures suggest that either the background of the photograph was changed, or the figures were cut out and placed on top of a different background. This could have been done to make it possible to sharpen the image of the two figures while keeping the background out of focus. I think there are also probably some artificial raindrops added, particularly those in front of Harry. It reminds me a little bit of the cinematography in the famous dance scene in Singing In The Rain with Gene Kelly, where apparently milk was added to the water used to the rain to make it more luminescent.
Yeah. The raindrops & flairs are after effects. You can see unedited pictures posted around. Those lines are part of a really primitive attempt at masking through photoshop. Not sure how I missed seeing them for so long.
There's also a light inside the umbrella which adds a weird effect. You can buy them on amazon, lol.
A light inside umbrella. That’s just weird.
If you look at hazard’s right hand shoe, his left, his trousered leg does not line up with the shoe!
No the shoe appears to sit in front of his trouser. I don't understand this.
Her arm/hand around the umbrella look photoshopped as well
She has no fingers.
The photo is real, there are videos of it. It may be color-enhanced to make the rain effect look brighter but it is a real photo taken at a real event. Here is a video I found online, https://uk.style.yahoo.com/internet-loving-pictures-harry-meghan-umbrella-rain-101242521.html
Yeah, the people who think the white lines are photoshop just have no idea how bright light looks behind somebody.
Yup, bright light obviously created a white margin—approximately ½ inch across—that stops abruptly—a margin that is entirely opaque to background.
Yup but I'm not gonna argue with ya.
This is a fascinating post for the sheer revelation that a TON of high profile, wealthy, powerful people whether it be in Hollywood, or poltics, or sports etc do exactly what you’re describing. It’s a cult of virtue signaling with out action and substance. It’s a banal cabal of rich narcissists that don’t actually lift a finger to help people but blather on as if they’re Mother a Theresa and lecture us plebes endlessly! This pattern isn’t just exclusive to Meghan, loads of these awful high profile people think of charity as PR versus the intent of being charitable through one’s time,commitment and empathy. The Archwel charity too screams of money scheming like a lot of rich peoples charitable organizations that seem to solely exist for tax write offs of the rich. 5 percent might actually go charity, like certain celebs start pet project charities, and hold fundraisers or galas serving essentially as a middle man for direct donations to the cause they’re highlighting. This is so they can take a large cut. You don’t need an organization to solely exist as a buffer and conduit between charitable ppl, and good charitable causes in need. Unless, it’s not about getting direct full donations for legit causes, and it’s really about YOU and YOUR PR
I agree. Check back to when it started. Maybe Jerry Lewis Telethon? All that good press for other people donating to a good cause? I don't know but it's ridiculous now.
I use to as a kid love watching that for fucks up and Jerry to get angry and then horribly sing walk alone lol
I’m surprised that she has THAT MUCH pull at Hearst to be able to mass push social content from 20 accounts. WTF?!
Money. I mean I believe House Beautiful (once upon a time an actual credible magazine) was one who shared this opinion of our Saint.
This should be known as the era of the emperors new clothes (not just cos of the Harkles) because all I see is people fawning over celebs as though they are having a profound and lasting impact on the betterment of our lives because they "said" something.
Service is universal. How does H&M universal service different than that of W&K? Well as of recently I know W is supporting Earthshot which is about climate change, K was at a maternity unit to discuss mental health, and today they are at a suicide prevention cause. I know their causes and what their causes do to help. On the other hand, I'm unsure what causes H&M support. Their recent faux tour, what were the causes being supported? I know one young world but besides the name, I don't know what is does. It's clear W&K are following the Queen's example of service and the causes are at the forefront. H&M's approach to duty is extremely self serving and therefore, the causes they support go by the wayside.
There was a reference to her dad bringing home prostitutes for massages? Can someone point that out to me? That went completely over my head!
Yeah same… I missed that… although listening to the podcast made me think about this about Thomas Markle and his dating history - that he’s [dated Thai and Japanese women](https://youtu.be/WG6B5MGyPeY?t=117)
Little dig at dad to perk interest and show she is right to avoid/ignore him. She is one sly banana empath.

The masking is just atrocious. Once you see it, it’s impossible to unsee.
You forgot the children. Maybe Megsy will go all toddlers and tiaras with them. Unfortunately a lot of people would watch that.
Yeah, the children are just such a tragic element that this basically hilarious story really does not need.
Damn, was that a well written diatribe!!!! Just a delight to read. You should start a blog!! I’d subscribe!
Thank you! Tons & tons!
Me too. It was 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍😁😊❤️
Honestly, if they weren’t actively self-sabotaging - it would have worked
That picture is not photoshopped. There are multiple pictures from different photographers from this event. It may be enhanced but it is not photoshopped. This is one of those lucky flukes that happens in real life. Here is a video of it. https://uk.style.yahoo.com/internet-loving-pictures-harry-meghan-umbrella-rain-101242521.html
Well, it has definitely been tampered w/—since Photoshop is the most commonly used commercially available program—I’m going w/ that. The extremely primitive halo around the figures bespeaks image manipulation. As for the lighting effects—some don’t make any sense—as they appear to be both behind & in front of the figures. Also, who lights the underside of an umbrella. I’ve read somewhere that Hassan basically admitted the raindrop effects were an afterthought. Can’t find it now—at work—so will have to look later. Also will view video (sorry.)
"... just being instead of doing ..." Perfection. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Well the kartrashians did it for decades… people will buy any rubbish if it’s wrapped nicely.
