UK United Kingdom Royal Family / Royal Families Drama General Thread - formerly "Prince Harry and Meghan to step back as senior royals"

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced they will step back as "senior" royals and work to become financially independent.

In a statement, Prince Harry and Meghan also said they plan to split their time between the UK and North America.

The BBC understands no other royal - including the Queen or Prince William - was consulted before the statement and Buckingham Palace is "disappointed".

Senior royals are understood to be "hurt" by the announcement.

In their unexpected statement on Wednesday, also posted on their Instagram page, the couple said they made the decision "after many months of reflection and internal discussions".

"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen."

They said they plan to balance their time between the UK and North America while "continuing to honour our duty to the Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages".

"This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity."

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said discussions with the duke and duchess on their decision to step back were "at an early stage", adding: "We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."

The couple's announcement on Wednesday comes two months after the Duke of York withdrew from public life after a BBC interview about his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in August.

The only American who could have really joined the family in a real sense in the last century was Lady Baillie, and she it was her third marriage by the time she got to that point and it wouldn't have been acceptable, anyway. There are fundamental incompatibilities between being American and monarchy in general.

Trump would mop the floor with her, I have to admit. She would collapse on the floor in tears (as she often writes) on the first question.

"What's it like being so white you have to constantly tell people you're black?"

"Because I have the opposite problem."

I've been casually enjoying some Meghan gossip and found these:

First an interesting exposé:

TLDR: They are involved with some organizations that want to make it legal for "researchers" to dox your social media accounts.
It's a long video but if you give a shit about your privacy watch it.

Spoiler: Part 2 and 3

I've downloaded copies but not sure if it's worth archiving to the Farms. If any of you think it would be worthwhile I'll upload them. Fuck it they're not that big.

Spoiler: Archives

Second the fact that William Morris Agency has agreed to work with her has always baffled me. I've wondered why any PR agency would touch her at this point.
Well, SecondhandCoke has an interesting theory:

ETA: Also I believe Meghan owes her publisher one more book as per their deal, so a post-divorce tell all would be perfect. (And Meghan knows drama sells better than anything else she's produced, so I expect she'll be happy to do it.)

Trump should debate her until she explodes and Harry's free.

Then UK will be forever in debt to him.

Just wanted to throw it out there to show that even black people know she's full of shit.

Meghan is a mulatta. Dunno much about Lipstick Alley, but if it's mostly woke black women, they'd hate her guts for that alone. And add a bit more for marrying a white man, a royal on top of that.

To this day I maintain people were more disgusted by Megs being American than her ethnicity.

That wouldn't be surprising. Normal Americans have that "fuck the King!" attitude because their freedom and yada yada, while the other type hate Brits because "muh colonialism".

 

[LordofTendons]

Not sure why I can't quote or reply but here's a snippet from @Faceless Whore:

IIRC there was a True and Honest fullblooded black woman who married into the British aristocracy and integrated herself just fine. (I don't recall the name. I found this woman but I don't know if it's her.) So it's not as if black or mixed race people haven't ever successfully joined upper class British society.

Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath, is married to Ceawlin Thynn, 8th Marquess. They went the surrogacy route with their second child after the first pregnancy almost killed her. They went to court to try to get the child rights to inherit, but lost. They come up in Markle discussion on other forums quite a bit because of her race and because of the Markle surrogacy rumors.

Some more casual gossip: Why WME (ALLEGEDLY) is bothering with Meghan:
Source | Archive


Black bitches grift together.

Meghan also tried to snatch microphones at a recent charity event, as can be seen here (if my timestamp doesn't work skip to 5:38 to skip unrelated BRF fagging):

Apparently she was allowed there because many of the stars were WME clients:

Lady C, Did you see the charity event that Harry and Meghan attended with Kevin Costner? They looked so desperate for attention. Meghan grabbed the microphone (meant for someone else) and she grabbed an award meant for Kevin Costner. The cameras filmed their every move and the behavior was just so bizarre.
Well, I have been on the bongo drums and I have a little bit of news from LA. First of all, WME has a connection to all the celebrities there. My understanding is that Kevin Costner allowed Harry and Meghan to be special guests at the request of WME. I also understand that Kevin Costner could barely tolerate them when they were all waiting to go on. If you watch the video, he made sure to have no contact with Meghan. Kevin Costner is very committed to the charity for local first responders. He is also a team player. He understands the necessity of “scratching each other’s back.” My understanding is that Meghan makes him cringe but he does have an affinity for Princess Diana because there were talks of her starring in The Bodyguard (even though she wasn’t seriously going to star in that movie). The person who spoke to me says Kevin Costner is very conscious of money. He was taken for a ride by his first wife. His second wife tried to take him for a ride and he is very uncomfortable in Meghan’s presence. In fairness to Meghan, maybe Meghan thought she was supposed to take the microphone? But I was told she was not supposed to do anything except stand beside Harry. My source says Kevin Costner dislikes Meghan but he is a team player. Notice he avoided her. Their appearance was 100% arranged by Ari Emmanuel at WME.

I discovered a website called Lipstick Alley. It's a forum that seems to be predominantly for black women, and it just so happens that many (maybe most) of them don't take a liking to Meghan.

They also hate troons.

Would the average westoid even be literate to read the files? Unless it’s originally written in Pidgin.

She's got Harry really well trained, there. Poor lad's whipped like a working dog.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

Dunno much about Lipstick Alley, but if it's mostly woke black women

its one of the few places online where people don't assume you're a white male. black women have a monopoly on Lipstick Alley and the US version of Livejournal nowadays.

 

[Faceless Whore]

Didn't know that. I stopped caring about Livejournal when I discovered it was sold to Russia. I wonder how black women came to use it? I always considered it a white angstfag website.

Meh. She made herself look white-ish. She had plastic surgery and is straightening her hair.

Meghan Markle 'in running for Dianne Feinstein's Senator seat in bid for office'​

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/meghan-markle-in-running-for-dianne-feinsteins-senator-seat-in-bid-for-office/ar-AA1huJnf

Meghan Markle is reportedly "in the running to fill Dianne Feinstein's California Senator seat" as the Duchess considers a run for office.

According to a major Democratic donor close to Californian Governor Gavin Newsom, who is set to choose Feinstein's replacement, the possibility of the Duchess of Sussex running is not impossible. Although a long-shot replacement for the 90-year-old pioneer, there is speculation Meghan could serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein's term.

...

Doesn't she have to renounce the foreign title of nobility first?

I will never understand this nigga. He had the best job in the country. He gets to blowup sandnigger in an Apache, shag all the posh bints he wants, riches, palaces etc. His only official duties were:
be the cool uncle to Willie's kids;
Do charity work, good charity work at that cos he'd be a "top Royal";
Occasional visits to Bongobongoland when dad or big bro can't be arsed;
Produce a kid or two.

He has FUCKED UP.

Non-story. She has zero political clout. The party will nominate one their own before outsourcing the role to a damaged z-lister.

Perhaps she realizes this but figures it's a bit of publicity so why not?
Or is she really that delusional?

TLDR; from what I’ve read on other gossip sites, she has a totally unfocused list of goals for what she wants to be: actress, diplomat, politician, style icon, etc etc. so I can believe she’s that delusional.
